In this episode, Quinn Mcinnis, better known by his social media handle Jang, joins me from his apartment all the way in Tempe, Arizona. Despite only being a third-year student at Arizona State University, he's already produced video edits and cover art for high-profile musicians and collectives like Lil Mosey, Internet Money, Xavier Weeks, Eslabon Armado, among many others.
