June 23, 2014


After an initial release via the BBC in the UK, Zane Lowe's hour-long conversation with iconic record producer and former FADER cover star Rick Rubin is now available to watch in full. The two sit down in the backyard of Rubin's Shangri La Studios in Malibu, and discuss a myriad of topics spanning his entire career—everything from his formative years at Def Jam in the '80s, to the past year spent shaping and molding Kanye West's Yeezus as well as working on his upcoming record alongside Q-Tip. As expected, the producer retains his zen'd out charm, casually discussing work with artists as disparate as Black Sabbath and Ed Sheeran.
