Summary

Today on Episode 35 of Quarantine Radio, we make calls from our Upper West Side apartment to Miami to check in on super producer Salaam Remi, and we talk about why he chose to move to Florida after 9/11, what he loves about the culture down there, how long he kept wearing Timbs after he relocated, growing up carrying crates alongside Funkmaster Flex, seeing DJs like Big Kap and Clark Kent tear down rooms, the best meals he had with Amy Winehouse, and so much more. We get on the line with Marlon Craft in Hell's Kitchen to discuss how one deals with anxiety during times like this, his belief that art and artists are extremely important these days, how he maintains a presence in his supporters' lives, details a project he recently scrapped, and drops an exclusive on the name of a brand new project coming soon. And then we call up to Toronto to catch up with the legend Director X, talking about what TV shows he's been studying during this downtime, what film and TV sets will look like in the next six months, his creative connection with Tanisha Scott, why conspiracy theorists flock to his IG live and how he easily combats them, what plans he has in case everything that's left goes wrong, and much more!

0:00.0	Hey Jeff. Hey Eric. How are you? I'm pretty good. How are you? I am doing all right too.
0:06.0	Um, first and foremost, rest in peace to Fred the godsome. Um, Fred was somebody that we crossed paths with, uh, you know, here and there for the better part of the last decade. Um, I think we always revered him from afar, and the chances that we got to
0:22.6	connect were always nice, especially when he knew exactly who we were. Yeah, well, because there
0:29.5	were a lot of times where he thought that I was Adam from double Xl, formerly of double Xcel.
0:34.6	And so, like, I always appreciated him coming up to me like
0:37.7	SOBs and, um, but then we, we cleared it up, you know, a couple years ago. Yeah, we, we stopped
0:43.2	by to see arsonist for heat makers and, um, we got to be in the studio and hang out and
0:50.0	listen to him to new music and in walks Fred the godson. And it was like, oh, yo, just before we get out of here.
0:56.7	Yeah.
0:58.0	I'm Jeff, not, you know, Adam.
0:59.9	And he's like, yo, and he laughed so hard.
1:01.7	And we got to, honestly, we got to talk about his Funkmaster Flex freestyle.
1:07.5	So he had gone, so this is two years ago.
1:10.1	He had gone and done flex and ripped it. And
1:13.3	people can go check that out on YouTube right now. And I suggest you do because there's such a
1:17.5	difference between anybody who goes up there and spits and tries again or cuts it. And you can
1:24.7	tell where things are edited and someone who does it in one take.
1:27.7	Yeah. And Fred was a genius. And you guys talked about that. You guys talked about how he did
1:32.1	it one take. Yeah. So we watched it together on the phone and we talked about it. And it was a really
1:37.3	cool moment to, you know, we love wordsmiths. We love creative minds and to be there and to really
1:43.3	get into it with someone in person
