LAKIM has been consistently pushing forward electronic music for over a decade, with his involvement in the groundbreaking collective Soulection, performances alongside artists like Nas, Kendrick Lamar, and Lauryn Hill, and production credits for Cousin Stizz, Lil Baby, Kemba, and others. By fluidly blending the sounds of house and hip hop, he has proven himself one of the most versatile producers of the last decade. Now, LAKIM is giving you the chance to go into his studio and witness his creation process in real time.
