In this episode of rapfabulous CONVOS, Mic Fox sits down with Brooklyn legends Smif-N-Wessun — Tek and Steele — for an in-depth conversation spanning more than 30 years of Hip Hop history. From their rise with Boot Camp Clik and the creation of Bucktown to the legal battles that forced a name change and the making of their new album Infinity, this is one of the most revealing interviews they’ve ever done.

Smif-N-Wessun discuss their early days in Bed-Stuy and Brownsville, how they met through the local music scene, performing at the Apollo, and being mentored by Buckshot and Evil Dee. They share the story behind Sound Bwoy Bureill, how Bucktown came together, and what it means to still be creating authentic Hip Hop three decades later.

The duo open up about resilience, independence through Bucktown USA, the making of The All with 9th Wonder & The Soul Council, and how Infinity represents both their growth and gratitude. They also talk about their current City Winery tour and continuing to uplift their community through music and mentorship.

Recorded at MNN Studios in New York City
Produced by BLURRED SPACES in collaboration with 8tivLabs
