The conversation delves into his latest record, "Ham and Eggers," which is a collaboration with Trademarc, as well as his approach to producing beats and sampling vinyl records. Additionally, MOPES expresses his appreciation for certain eras of music for sampling purposes, particularly between 1968 and 1976.
