SewYKnot Interview with Tim Fite, discussing his values, sampling, hip- hop and his recent emphasis on visual art

We discuss Fite's course as an artist, how viral music success took him off the visual art path he was initially on and he followed that for a dozen years. We don't talk so much directly about his music as the ideas that generated the music. (On some level doesn't the music speak for itself?) We also spend a lot of time unpacking the idea of identity and good and evil, which can be a way for people to avoid their own responsibility and culpability when bad things happen, And we talk a lot about making art and his process and how one communicates whether on the more broad shallow pool of mass popularity or in sinkholes, and how he's kind of merged the two in his video for Resist. It's very much a conversation more than a lot of questions.
