We got a chance to sit down with the legendary Cardo (Cardo Got Wings), who shared gems about picking the right loop, his unique sample-chopping methods and being a creative director for artists. We take a closer look at his relationship with Drake and Baby Keem, and Cardo’s process of sending beats and communicating with artists.
