Gowhere You Love Podcast (Ep.8) — Stan Sono

JJ & Tibs sit down with Preme of Goodbye Tomorrow in the most extensive interview with the mysterious Chicago artist to date. The topics are wide-ranging on what Goodbye Tomorrow is, as a concept, Preme's deeper insight on past releases and his upcoming single "Every Day", and commentary on the fields as a whole: music and fashion, with a little Kanye West to close. We break up the interview with a couple of songs from 'Tunnel Stripe Exit Ramp' and a "Speed Round" with rapid fire questions to get to know Preme's preferences: Chance or Vic? Cavs or Warriors? Dream artists to collaborate with? Scroll below for the timestamps and some of the many quotables throughout this sit-down full of gems. Enjoy! * * * * 0:55 Goodbye Tomorrow, as a concept. “It’s the truth. It’s the real truth. It’s basically like, it’s always a group. Everything is a group. Everything is connected. Everybody is together. So to me, Goodbye Tomorrow, moreso than a group or a collective, it’s a concept. The concept is that collaboration is the key to progression.” (1:45) 3:39 How did “Goodbye Tomorrow” start through to the present moment and how does it evolve from here? “All we have is the present. So we have to act in the present.” “In reality, the truth would be Goodbye Tomorrow isn’t even Goodbye Tomorrow...” (9:05) 11:06 **The Music Industry** “Anytime you mix commerce and art it’s going to be messy. Cause automatically they’re at odds; they have two different goals. I think it’s not a different music industry than it was 5, 6 years ago. I think people think it is, but I think the same people control the same shit... The consumer is not in control like they think they are.” 12:23 “I hate streaming services so much, but at the same time I love them...” 16:01 Being newly independent again... how are things different, but not different? 18:49 "It’s especially important for me to stay true to the vision of what we are, which is to empower people...” 19:41 -- Music Break-- Goodbye Tomorrow “2 MANY” 21:30 **Fashion** Congruent Space — Opening soon in Chicago. 1216 W. Grand — Preme is the Creative Director 26:50 **New Music* “Every Day” — Preme's synopsis, the brief history of Goodbye Tomorrow on a track. 28:13 “It’s really just believing in yourself... 28:50 A unique alternate path of The Matrix... and how it’s the message of Goodbye Tomorrow 31:00 **Speed Round** >> Chance or Vic? >> Cavs or Warriors? >> First CD you bought? >> Fresh Prince or Martin? >> Your dream 3 artists to collaborate with? >> Artist that you feel is slept on? >> adidas vs. Nike >> Your first AIM screen name? >> Favorite concert you’ve attended? 37:48 -- Music Break-- DJ MiniMaxX “The Coolest vs. Let There Be Light” 38:41 Kanye West. Looking up to Kanye as an upcoming artist, and a peer, “judging” Kanye and art in general, and how Kanye is communicating his passions better. “It’s hard for me to conceptualize Kanye West. I looked up to him so much comin’ up, right? But you get to a point in the field where you respect your own self so much that I feel like you start to doubt everybody else because their taste isn’t your taste. Or the way they did something is not how you did it. I don’t think people are capable of properly judging someone, especially in the same field.” ... “What the fuck is an ‘art critic’ bro? Consume it or don’t consume it. Love it or leave it, don’t hate it. There’s no reason for, like, I think to criticize what someone is trying to artistically do.. is weird.” (We need Preme and Kanye in a room together.) 45:27 -- Music Break-- Goodbye Tomorrow “Keep That” f/ Lucki *** Follow @goodbyetomorrow #GowhereYouLove http://gowherehiphop.com Please subscribe on iTunes and review!
