Just Blaze sat down with Opiyo Okeyo to discuss meeting Rick James and the legacy of the punk-funk patriarch on Legends + Prioneers, a show that mashes animation with artist testimonials in the vein of PBS' Blank On Blank. Blaze describes his chance meeting with James and how the two got up before an awards show, took a few pictures, and then as he was looking through them for the first time, hearing the news of James' (un)timely passing. Its an endearing window into Blaze's own influence and the timeless of Rick's sound. Go ahead and peep the animated treatment below.
