Baseline: IJALE on his latest EP 'minutiae'

Nana is joined in studio by Naarm-based artist and producer, IJALE, to discuss his latest EP, minutiae.

Nana and IJALE dive into the minutiae of his creative process, from writing and producing to developing visuals. He reflects on how his craft has evolved over the years and the challenge of balancing his nine-to-five with his music career. IJALE also shares insights into his collaborations with local Black artists, his experience performing at Big Sound, and his reflections on the hip-hop and rap scene in Naarm.

“Making this when my attention and energy were being pulled in so many directions was a test, to say the least. I felt like scrapping it many times as my feelings toward it changed, but we’re here and we’re grateful.”

minutiae is out now on all streaming platforms.
