“First and foremost the project is in honor of the Cannabis culture. I believe that in order to get my message heard, I need to be expressive.
The idea around 420 project was first developed to be a single project. As the year kicked in I found myself meeting up with new artist who really amazed me. After meeting up with a handful of artistes, I was interested in involving as many artists as possible. The first track to be recorded was ‘Niko High’ featuring Kapella, Kay Green, S3cr3t and Liquid Flows. The energy around the studio during the recordings has been really positive and constructive.
Majority of the production is courtesy of Carlos. As the producer, Carlos really helped me push myself and always gave me moral support. Other producers include Alex Vice, Shabback, Brett, Mawa and R3tro.
Unlike my previous projects that focus mainly on informing the fans about hidden knowledge, this album is meant to create a comfortable experience during meditation, relaxation and partying. It’s not just for the potheads but anyone who loves to have fun.” Clay OG Stoner said.
