His performance primed the crowd for a massive set from Blood Orange that capped the series celebrating the 15th anniversary of Okayplayer. Between toasting the site and tearing down the stage, Sumney sat to talk the creative process with OKP TV. He breaks down the genesis of his acclaimed Mid-City Island EP in the sunny clip and discusses the solitude required for him to find the proper rhythm and put the project together with limited resources; Sumney notes that being alone with his thoughts and sounds was a major part of refining and ultimately releasing his work.
