The FADER - The FADER is the definitive voice of emerging music and the lifestyle that surrounds it.

We caught up with Black Hippy—Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and bucket hat-devotee Schoolboy Q—before their tag-team headlining set at the FADER FORT Presented by Converse to eat some fruit snacks and talk about TDE’s recent deal with Interscope and Aftermath. They took off their shoes (a crew secret for studio success), clowned each other incessantly and sang a well-rehearsed rendition of The Temptations’ “My Girl.”
