For the latest entry in our Conversations With interview series, HYPEBEAST linked up with Amir Obé, who discusses the musical legacy of Detroit, letting his music speak for himself and the inspiration behind his recent project, Can’t Be A ____ Here: Chapter 1.
Detroit has a long history in the music industry and Amir sees himself, along with his peers, as the next generation to continue the city’s legacy. “We’ve always had that soulfulness and that scene, but it got lost in translation when the city met some hardships. There wasn’t a real outlet as far as going to meetings and connecting with people but there always been there. I always pride Detroit on talent,” he continues.
You can check out our entire Conversations With episode with Amir Obé above. He dropped Can’t Be A ____ Here: Chapter 1 last month. The EP is the first entry in a three-part project series.
