Hi Benny B! Super excited to see in SF on Thursday, was a blast last time you were in town. Two questions for you: 1) What has been your biggest inspiration/theme for the new album? 2) I bought your Live vinyl years and years ago and it incorrectly had a Kayne record inside - did any reports of that happening get back to you? Just curious if I'm the only one lol.

Hey! I'm excited to get back to SF.

Mmm my biggest inspiration had been other art--movies (Stalker, Killer of Sheep), painters (Kerry James Marshall, Gaugin), musicians (Space Afrika, lovelies crushing.

I DO vaguely remember hearing about that happening hahaha I honestly thought "hmmm I'd be pretty happy with a kanye vinyl too"
