What are some of the main inspirations for your music?
Avi Buffalo: I love a lot of different kinds of music seriously.
How’s this new album different from your previous one?

Your 1st album was so well received, did you ever worry about a “sophomore slump”?
Avi Buffalo: I don’t even know.
Can you explain what overdubs are and why you love them?
Avi Buffalo: It’s when you record something on top of something else that’s already been recorded. It’s pretty simple, maybe that’s why I like it.
How is your album a “tribute to the ballad”?
Avi Buffalo: It’s honestly more of an experimental hip hop album I’m totally serious just try to listen to it the right way.
