from Mile High Minute · host Brenton Saylor
16ShotEm Visuals sits down with Mile High Minute to tell the story behind becoming one of Chicago’s recognizable interviewers and documenting the city’s drill scene from the inside.16ShotEm breaks down how a legal case and house arrest unexpectedly pushed him toward videography, how his first major interview took off almost overnight, and how that momentum eventually led him to King Von before “Crazy Story” and mainstream fame. He recalls meeting Von, filming what he says was Von’s first interview, and watching the interview continue to grow as Von’s career exploded. He also reflects on ZackTV’s impact on Chicago, explaining that Zack provided a blueprint for working across different sides of the city while keeping the work business-focused. 16ShotEm discusses how Zack’s death affected Chicago media and how the resulting gap helped open a lane for his own interviews. The conversation goes deeper into O’Block, Charleston White, Chicago drill, FBG Duck, Memo600, interviewing artists from opposing sides, staying neutral, and the risks that come with documenting Chicago street culture. 16ShotEm also explains why he believes drill isn’t dying—it continues to evolve with every new generation.
