Following their performance at the German hip-hop and reggae Splash! Festival earlier this summer, The Underachievers, Issa and AK, sat down with Ben Maechler of urban lifestyle magazine Splash! Mag. They discussed topics ranging from the duo’s love of indie and alternative rock, the indigo theory, Jay Z‘s phenomenal crowd control, as well as possible collaborations with Flying Lotus, Lunice, and Statik Selektah for their upcoming album on FlyLo’s Brainfeeder label. Issa and AK also address comparisons between the Beast Coast movement and the Native Tongues collective, the importance of visuals to draw the attention of fans, and spiritual and intellectual advancement in the internet age, resulting in an interview which exemplifies the self-awareness that The Underachievers communicate through their music.
