SAINt JHN dropped his debut LP, Collection One, this week and according to the Brooklyn artist, it took forever to create. In a conversation with DX’s Riley Wallace, he explains why the process was lengthy.
“A lifetime. That’s how long, I’m sure of it,” he explained. “To put the sounds together: year and a half. But, you’re making the first thing you introduce to people.
