Alfred’s been releasing music for over fifteen years, feels just as comfortable in the Boiler Room as he does onstage with a full band, has done collaborations with the likes of MF Doom, toured with J Dilla, and even if you haven’t heard of him, you might have heard his music sampled and resampled, as he created the original instrumentation of the Madvillain track Accordion, which has been sampled by a number of artists, from Kitty Pryde to Drake.

We talked in the first part of this interview here about how the idea of true fans has allowed him so many freedoms of expression, the economic realities of touring with a band versus as a solo artist, how touring has so positively affected his life, and how he’s able to channel those experiences and history into his creative process.
