Seshollowaterboyz Talk Joining Forces, Learning To Do Everything Themselves, and Why They Don’t Care If You Like Them
This week we talked with SESHOLLOWATERBOYZ. Chris Travis, Eddy Baker, Bones, and XavierWulf are standing left to right in the above photo. This was a really tough interview. It was 4 close friends versus a curious old rap fan with a surface level knowledge of their music. I probably come off like an idiot. Even still, I wanted to put it out because these guys have an absolutely undeniable movement going on.
From their prolific output (all of them have put out multiple tapes this year), to their rabid fan base, to their raucous (and always sold out) shows, to the way they innately handle themselves like old pros, and treat their followers like family…I haven’t felt such a palpable movement taking place independently in a long time.
I initially reached out to try and interview Bones, but their manager Elliot (who becomes a big part of the interview as well) informed me that this thing is working because they move as a unit, and I fully respect that. We set up as many mics as we could and tried to learn how they came together as a team, how they learned to do everything (beats, raps, recording, filming, editing) themselves, and why they don’t care if you like them or not.

Good episode, but there were a little too many people in the studio this time. 😛 Made the vibe a lot different.
Ben made the shit sound a little less buttery, but that’s not his fault! It’s hard getting good sound with two mics and a sausage-fest.
Anyway man, just wanted to take some time and say that I and a lot of my friends really enjoy listening to this passion of yours. Hope you and ones close to you are doing well.
Keep doing what you love, man.
PS. A lot of us really enjoy the little pre-podcast monologue you have at the beginning of episodes. Don’t feel apologetic about talking about your feelings. It’s something Italians are known for!
You fuck wit SESH we fuck wit you
