In October of 2013, I was fortunate to be able to interview Uni-Fi Records co-owner Dima "The White Russian." We touched on topics ranging from the origin of the name of his independent record label to his daily routine as co-owner of three different companies, father, husband, and many other titles.
Last we spoke, Dima mentioned a few moves on the horizon for the label. Of these moves, few are as important to the team as the release of the Uni-Fi's Vol. 1 mixtape on October 9 of this year, a day before the team headed to Atlanta to perform at the A3C music festival.
A few days later, on October 13, The Source, a major outlet and promotional vehicle in the world of Rap and Hip Hop publications, posted a press release-themed write up of the mixtape onto their site. It's available to stream or as a free download on AudioMack, but for the sake of convenience, it will be included at the bottom of this blog entry.
The mixtape features national rappers Action Bronson and Riff Raff, regional rappers Mally and Chris Crack, and local rappers Proph, Haz Solo, Webster X, Ray Nitti, and Colin Plant.
The Uni-Fi team did not slack on the creation and execution of this mixtape. Though it has taken some time to complete, I'd argue that very few worthwhile pieces of art are created overnight. I can imagine the path of conception-to-creation-to-completion being taxing and arduous, but once the journey is finished it should make everything else worth it.
Speaking of journeys, hopefully this mixtape is the first step of many good moves for Uni-Fi Records and its team. We at Qwik Interviews wish them nothing but the best of luck in the future! Feel
