Allan Kingdom of took a moment following thestand4rd‘s tremendous Rock the Garden set to answer a few 8-Ball–style questions.
What is your current musical obsession?
I’ve been listening to a couple artists out of Atlanta: Uno the Activist and Playboi Carti. They’re dope. For the past few days, I’ve been listening to their music a lot.
What is one well-kept Twin Cities secret you don’t mind sharing?
Probably the boutique BlackBlue, on Selby and Dale. It’s a good place to shop.
Finally, you’ve achieved an incredible amount of success at a young age, and it seems like part of that stems from how original and well-developed your musical concept is. When did you know you wanted to be an artist?
I think I’ve always known. Even when I was little, I would be thinking about how things would sound and look on stage. It’s the one thing I’ve always wanted to do.
