This year marks the 51ST anniversary of the It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown TV special.

Monarch butterflies migrate 2,500 miles in the fall to reach warmer winter climates. It would take a person 26 days without stopping to walk that distance.

Aaron Kolodny

The average American will eat 3.4 pounds of candy during the Halloween season. That’s equal to about 340 Hershey’s Kisses.

Almost 9 billion pieces of candy corn were produced last year which, when laid out, could wrap around Earth approximately 4.5 times.

The average American household spends $86 on Halloween, from costumes to candy to decorations.

Most of the country’s pumpkins come from Illinois’ 16,426 acres dedicated to fall pumpkin harvests.

The Guinness World Record for most jack-o’-lanterns lit in the same place at the same time is 30,581 in Keene, New Hampshire.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

THE COMPETITION

This year, Starbucks debuted the new Maple Pecan Latte, prompting speculation that pumpkin spice might be on its way out. Judging by the 3,000-plus #PSL posts per day, it looks like the latte classic still has some legs.

THE SECRET FORMULA

While pumpkin has always been around, the pumpkin spice flavor got its start in 2003 when Starbucks debuted it as a limitedtime, seasonal option.

10 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 19, 2017

icy sip right now or plugging your nose till peppermint time rolls around, you can brush up on your autumnflavored knowledge with the following facts.

WHAT THE FLAVOR The pumpkin spice obsession has triggered a number of specially flavored products, including pumpkin spice butter spread, Pringles, pasta and dog treats!

9 ALL THAT DOUGH, THOUGH According to a 2015 Forbes study, Americans spend close to $500 million on pumpkin-flavored products each year.

We love a pumpkin-scented air freshener as much as the next person but students in Maryland might be swearing off the aroma for a while. Earlier this month, a pumpkin spice aerosol plug-in at a high school was so strong the building was evacuated and five people were hospitalized.

7 THE FLAVOR THAT ALMOST WASN’T Pumpkin spice nearly missed the cut at Starbucks! Brand manager Peter Dukes fought for it amongst flavors like cinnamon spice and chocolate caramel and with a few tweaks, eventually got it into stores.

5 PENNIES FOR PSL With great taste comes a great price. A recent study found retailers charge an average of 7.98 percent more for pumpkin spice products.

4 FAKE FANS Are you “one-and-done” when it comes to the almighty PSL? You’re not alone. On average, only 8 percent of pumpkin spice latte customers buy the drink three or

more times during the season.

Most pumpkin spice flavors are a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.

2 ONLINE PERSONALITY The pumpkin spice latte has its own Twitter account (twitter. com/therealpsl) with over 115,000 followers.

BASICS OF BEING BASIC While it’s hard to track the flavor’s rise to its status as “the most basic drink ever,” most historians place it around the flavor’s ten-year anniversary. A decade in, its limited shelf-life made it a can’t-miss flavor for coffee addicts across the country. CT

SCHNEPF FARMS PROVIDES PUMPKIN FIX THIS FALL NICOLE HERNANDEZ • COLLEGE TIMES Three generations of dedication led to the growth and development of the multipurpose Schnepf Farms family business.

The farm, developed from an initial 640-acre purchase of dull Arizona desert land, has grown into a destination for families, foodies and, during the Halloween season, pumpkins.

“The whole idea is really to preserve the farm,” owner Mark Schnepf says.

“We want to preserve this farm for future generations. We want to have a place where families can come and make amazing memories and have lots of fun.”

Not only has the Schnepf family been successful in preserving their farm, but the family was also an integral part of conserving Queen Creek as the town it is today.

Schnepf, along with several other community members, made the Queen Creek area a recognized town, as he served as the inaugural mayor.

“Queen Creek is here because a group of people, which included me, wanted

to create a town so that we wouldn’t get swallowed up by neighboring towns,” Schnepf says. “Schnepf Farms is just a part of the community of Queen Creek and we love being a part of it. And the town is really supportive of what we do.”

Support from the Queen Creek and Arizona community is vital, as the farm is in full operation and open to the public ten months out of the year.

In those ten months, the farm hosts open U-Pick seasons, weddings, farmto-table dinner events and the ever

popular Pumpkin and Chili Party.

“We created this event to bring people out to the farm, and it became phenomenally successful,” Schnepf says.

“We have about 100,000 visitors just in the month of October.”

Attendees to the amplified pumpkin patch will be immersed in the hilarity of fall with more than just pumpkins and corn mazes. The 22nd annual event has evolved to include amusement rides, pig races, bonfires and an array of fresh foods.

With the amount of success Schnepf farms has had, its story has not always been the same. The farm has endured both success and failure to be built into the attraction it is today.

“It’s been a roller coaster ride for the farm,” Schnepf says.

But the ups and downs have led Schnepf Farms to develop into one of the largest agritainment farms in the

FAIR FARE CREATIVE CULINARY CONCOCTIONS SHINE AT ANNUAL EVENT NICOLE HERNANDEZ • COLLEGE TIMES

E

ach row of the Arizona State Fair creates unique sounds, different rides and an array of smells. The smells emanate from the more than 95 food vendors serving up dishes from traditional fair food to Arizona specialty meals.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 19, 2017

10

Fair-goers have the option to delve into the seemingly unending fried food bank, vast amounts of sugary desserts, or healthier selections. But the one thing each food option has in common is its bigger than life size, concept or taste.

Some new additions to the 2017 Arizona Fair include Baja Lobster and Moana’s New Zealand Traditional Fry Bread. Both offer unique options for attendees that are not typical fair cuisine, including lobster rolls and lobster mac and cheese (Baja Lobster), and a sweet New Zealand spin on Fry Bread (Moana’s).

Fry breads, whether from Moana’s or the traditional booths, are far from the only fried foods at the fair. The range of deep-fried options includes cinnamon rolls, pickles, candy bars and tamales.

The tamales served at Carne Cafe Taco Stand are not only fried, but are also served on a stick and come covered in shredded cheese. And consumers are urged to try the booth’s homemade hot sauce as a topping for the inimitable meal.

“One day me and the wife were just

PHOTOS • KIM CARRILLO AND NICOLE HERNANDEZ

like, ‘Hey, let’s try a tamale on a stick,’ and, you know, we mixed it, we made it, we baked it, we did everything, and I thing we’ve got it down pretty good now,” Rick Martinez, the owner of Carne Cafe Taco Stand, says.

According to Martinez, the stand was featured on Food Network’s Carnival Eats series for their tamale creation.

New food concepts are not the only things winning over the stomachs of fair attendees. The traditional giant drumsticks, extra long corndogs and sugary funnel cakes can be seen around every corner.

Now, the unhealthy array of foods can be combatted with a natural drink option at the Drink a Fruit from the Fruit stand. The booth offers all natural fruit juices in the fruit’s shell.

Made with just blended fruits and no added sugars, the juices are a great option to balance out the excess of salt and sugar from the rest of the day’s meals.

And when the day is over, there are some easy ways to take a piece of the fair’s delicacies home.

Kettle corn, popcorn, cotton candy and roasted nut stands offer packaged options that will let the fair food experience last beyond the fairgrounds. CT

The $120 million residential community houses 1,600 ASU students, largely from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. The dorm recently received national attention after Amazon donated an Echo Dot to each student.

Tooker House on ASU’s Tempe campus touts the kind of technology and innovation the students living there hope to one day create themselves.

Tooker House is the first voiceenabled residential community on a university campus, according to a news release.

It’s not unusual for large companies such as Amazon to donate technologies to universities with

Bhavik Patel, a mechanical engineering senior, demonstrates use of an Amazon Echo Dot.

Collofello said these companies often look to ASU when hiring – partly because of the school’s mantra.

“ASU has a lot of great technology, but having that technology literally where you’re living, I think is the key advantage,” Collofello says.

“Companies understand that if they want to be able to hire our students, they can’t wait until they’re seniors. Within the Fulton Schools of Engineering, we like to say our students are engineers from day one. We want them to think like engineers, create in that engineering mindset, and that is easy to do in Tooker House.”

prominent engineering programs – the Fulton schools being the largest in the country, with 20,000 enrolled students – to entice and eventually recruit engineering students.

The demand for engineers has steadily increased, said Jim Collofello, vice dean of academic and student affairs for the engineering schools. So much so, companies are offering engineering graduates signing bonuses above $4,000 and higher-than-average starting salaries.

SCREAMS ON THE BIG SCREEN

HOW SCARY ARE THE LATEST HORROR MOVIES? CARSON MLNARIK & MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

IT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 19, 2017

Who’s in it: Bill Skarsgård, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard If you’re deathly afraid of clowns, you might want to multiply the scariness rating by 10. Pennywise the Clown, portrayed by Bill Skarsgård, lives up to his reputation as one of the horror genre’s creepiest characters. The movie follows seven adolescents forced to confront their fears when an evil, shapeshifting monster emerges from the sewers. The monster returns every 27 years to prey on the children in the small suburban town of Derry, Maine. Only when the children are able to overcome their own personal terrors can they save themselves. The scenes with Pennywise are suspenseful and sure to make the audience jump, but it’s hard to say any one scene matches the terror of the film’s first 10 minutes when Georgie makes his acquaintance.

In between monsters, the film 18 develops each kid fully. You understand

their fears, the world they’re living in and the adults they’re going to become.

A particular highlight is Finn Wolfhard, whom you might recognize from the popular series Stranger Things, as Richie.

His raunchy quips steal almost every ensemble scene. The fun scenes are important; the film, which clocks at over two hours long, is driven by exposition as much as it is by horror. If you’re looking for a story that will keep you enthralled – and occasionally quicken your heart rate – this is the one for you.

MOTHER! Who’s in it: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfieffer The newest film by director Darren Aronofsky, of Black Swan fame, won’t elicit as many physical reactions as mental ones. The movie follows a young woman, simply known as Mother (Jennifer Lawrence), whose tranquil life and peaceful marriage with Father (Javier Bardem) are disrupted by the

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION • CHRISTY BYERLY

arrival of a mysterious couple. Their personal drama and relationship with her husband quickly turn the household into a warzone. Serving largely as an allegory, the story plays with reality and the audience’s understanding, feeling at times more like a dream than a movie.

Lawrence is loveable and relatable as the film’s protagonist and will leave audiences sympathizing with her emotional journey throughout the film.

If you walk in expecting a horror movie, you will probably be disappointed. The most horrific and disturbing elements don’t come into play until the end when it gets graphic and emotionally draining. However, if you’re looking for a movie to confuse you, play with your viewing experience and keep you on your toes, you won’t be disappointed.

FLATLINERS Who’s in it: Nina Dobrev, Ellen Page, Diego Luna

This suspenseful reimagining of the ‘90s cult classic chronicles the harrowing journey of five medical students as they engage in a dangerous experiment that allows them to explore the afterlife. When the group discovers they can stop their hearts for brief periods of time, monitor their brain activity and alter their state of mind, they believe they’ve uncovered the cutting edge of neuroscience. However, the exhilarating experience quickly turns sinister when they become confronted with demons from their past in their current, waking life.

Flatliners puts a modern and macabre twist on the original, using a plethora of plot twists, jump scares and eerie flashbacks to leave viewers pondering the fragility of life and what lingers beyond. The movie’s characters are remarkably relatable, and audiences will surely find a part of themselves within them as they piece together their past and face their present fears. CT

THE RIGHT TRACK A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLIST OF

Amy Young

PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE Amy Young is proof that girls rock.

She plays drums in local bands French Girls and Sturdy Ladies and her playlist includes a song for every possible emotion.

Take a peek inside her playlist for jams that express an equal amount of hopeless romanticism and reckless abandon.

TOP 10 FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME 1. “O My Soul,” Big Star “Honestly, there isn’t a Big Star song that I don’t like but this one is the most sentimental to me. It’s a chunky, swagger-y love song that exemplifies a little bit of that recklessness that you feel when you initially realize you’re just nuts about someone. And by ‘you,’ I mean ‘me.’

It has such a great progression that doesn’t whack you over the head but builds with energy and abandon. The song has a circle around it and inside the circle is butterflies, and lust and chaos.”

2. “Made Up Dreams,” Built to Spill “Every Built to Spill song is a journey and this is my favorite trip of theirs to

take. I don’t know how they meant it but to me it’s a check-in when things feel extra insane.”

3. “Lay Me Low,” Nick Cave “Contemplating life by thinking about how you’ll be remembered is intensified

by Nick Cave’s bellow and brilliant band.”

4. “Telephone Line,” ELO “If you want to understand feeling of true desperation, listen to this song.”

5. “Twilight Time,” The Platters

7. “Fair Touching,” Guided by Voices “Impossible really for me to pick a favorite song of theirs…But when he sings, ‘Currently fabulous/And perhaps/The song you sing will have meaning,’ there’s a starkness in his voice that shatters me.”

“The single most romantic song ever.”

8. “What Love Is,” Dead Boys 6. “Cause Insanity,” No Mind “No Mind was a Canadian hardcore band in the ‘80s. This particular song was the final song on their album Tales of Ordinary Madness, and it isn’t like anything else of theirs. It’s the most wicked, rocking, psycho-meetspsychedelic track about being, maybe literally, nutso for someone. I guess I like extra expressive songs about feelings.”

“No song riles me up like the angry teenage me like this one.”

9. “Fly,” Nick Drake “Tender and heartbreaking. One of my favorite lines ever: ‘I just need your star for a day.’ One of the best singer/ songwriters and guitar players ever.”

10. “Shine a Light,” The Rolling Stones

EMO THUG

RAPPER WIFISFUNERAL BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO SOUTH FLORIDA HIP-HOP MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

S

outh Florida is having a moment in the underground rap scene.

With the help of streaming platform SoundCloud and self-promoting, social media savvy spitters like Lil Pump, XXXTentacion and Kodak Black, the Sunshine State is a hot spot for a new wave of hip-hop.

Enter Isaiah Rivera, aka wifisfuneral, the 20-year-old NYC-born, Palm Beach-bred rapper taking SoundCloud, Spotify and the stage by storm. Rivera seamlessly blends boom-bap beats with introspective lyrics, setting him apart from the often trite genre of “SoundCloud rap.”

Rivera isn’t shy about his troubled past, freckled with drug-induced debauchery and accidental overdoses.

Newly sober, the rapper recently started his own label, Rich Life Records, and released his third mixtape, The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Make no mistake — his stage name isn’t an allusion to the death of the internet. In fact, Rivera has a Wi-Fi symbol permanently perched on his cheek in black ink. Read on to learn more about the story behind his name, why rappers are like dogs and what it means to be an “emo thug.”

Florida is a hotbed for underground hip-hop right now.

What do you make of all that?

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 19, 2017

I’m just doing my own thing, honestly, as far as music goes. I was always just making music because I genuinely like making music, like when people use those titles about “the underground” and stuff like that, I just look at that like “OK, cool.” It’s like a badge, but I don’t really care for it.

How do you feel about the term “SoundCloud rapper”?

I feel like it’s discrediting artists. The only reason why it’s discrediting artists is it just boxes you in, and people say like, “Oh well, if you release your music primarily on SoundCloud, then you’re a SoundCloud rapper.” Like alright, if this was 2004 or 2003 and LimeWire was still around and we were primarily 22 using LimeWire to drop our music,

would we be “LimeWire rappers?” We should just let it be its own thing.

In a time where Wi-Fi is obviously the opposite of dead, your name seems kind of ironic.

What does that name mean to you?

The only reason why there’s “funeral” in the name is because it was originally a group between me and one of my homeboys and how we met is because his friend had committed suicide, so that’s why we put the “funeral” part in it. And the “wifi” part, just because I want my music to be global. I want everyone to be able to listen to my music and feel comfortable listening to my music.

Why isn’t wifisfuneral still a group?

People just part ways. At the end of the day, I have a vision for myself and I’m gonna do that with or without certain people that don’t want to be involved anymore.

At this point in your career, is there anyone that’s on your bucket list of dream collabs?

Young Thug.

Do you see that happening in the near future?

If it’s presented the right way and things happen to fall at the right place at the right time. I honestly don’t even feel like I’m at a point in my career where I should even be worrying about features or anything like that, so when I get there, I know for a fact it’s gonna be the No. 1 feature. I’m gonna be like, “Yo, this is what we need to get done.”

Who are some of your all-time

favorite rappers?

I listened to a lot of ‘90s boom-bap rap growing up: Wu-Tang Clan, Big L, Nas, Biggie… Those were all really big influences.

Tell me more about your upbringing and how that affected where you are now, music-wise.

My dad used to be a battle rapper in New York so it kind of just ran in my blood, I guess, and I just picked up the habit. It was like the only thing that I’m actually really good at. I don’t really know why, I just so happened to be really good at rapping and I just took to it because I knew that was the only thing I’m good at doing.

Tell me about your mixtape, The Boy Who Cried Wolf. How is it different from your past projects?

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is the best project I have out right now because it’s the first project that I dropped that I don’t mind people judging me about, saying what they like, what they don’t like. It’s like another trial and error to show me what to do whenever I do decide to work on a debut album. The

timing just isn’t right for a debut album right now. I just feel like I need to work on myself a lot more because there’s a way that I want to present myself and I don’t think the world gets it yet.

You’re pretty open about your past, specifically your drug use.

How would you say your past with drugs has affected you personally and musically?

I learned my self-value because I didn’t really think about any of that when I was doing all of that. It’s just more of a lesson and a part of my life that I felt like I just had to go through in order to be the person that I am right now, so I just take it like that. It messed up a lot of opportunities and a lot of friendships that I had once upon a time, but I don’t even look at all that. I just look at what it did for me after I got off all of it.

This is your sixth cross-country tour. Tell me what touring is like for you and what you hope to get out of this tour in particular?

With every tour, I just want to

travel the world, then I got to come back home to the hood. I got to feel it out,” he says. “I got to really experience life in a different realm, because my brothers were already superstars by this time. They were already like the hottest things in the streets. And then I’m seeing other people become superstars right in front of me, so it was just dope to see the evolution of life and watching the flowers grow.”

While Twelvyy’s solo career is taking off with his long-awaited debut, he still finds much to be inspired by in his friends, who he describes as

“exceptional musicians.”

“I feel like Steve Kerr on the Bulls getting to watch Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Phil Jackson coach,” he says.

“I just feel it. So it’s just like I just get to learn from them, I get to study them; there’s no other lesson like that.”

Last Halloween, the group released the first installment of its Cozy Tapes series, aptly subtitled Friends. Now, less than a year later, the Harlem rappers have released their follow-up, Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy. For the two projects, the Mob enlisted a jam-packed lineup of guests, including Juicy J, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, ScHoolboy Q, Playboi Carti, Gucci Mane, Frank Ocean and Tyler, The Creator.

“I think the second one was kind of more spontaneous. It was more like, ‘Yo, we just put out a tape. We should put out another one,’” he says with a laugh. “It was dope…We on that grind.

We on that heavy grind.”

Released in August, Too Cozy is the third phase in an organized takeover of the rap game by the Mob, preceded

by Twelvyy’s 12 and Ferg’s Still Striving.

The group is gearing up for a largescale U.S. tour.

“There was a real synchronized, sequenced takeover, and we did it well,” he says, comparing the release schedule to Def Jam’s coordination of Method Man and Redman projects.

“They’re going to talk about August forever, because next year they’re going to be waiting for August and seeing what we’re going to do,” he says.

“We changed the whole month of the year to August.”

A$AP Mob will perform at Mesa Amphitheatre on Saturday, October 21.

Rocky, Ferg, Nast and Ant will join Twelvyy for the performance, with support provided

by Playboi Carti, Key! and Cozy Boys. The Mob’s lineup varies from show to show.

PRESS PHOTO “This is kind of equivalent to the Scream Tours, the Warped Tours,” Twelvyy says. “To have a bunch of young cats from the hood go this crazy.

For real. I don’t even know how to feel.

“I’m a super excited person and a blessed person, and I don’t ever expect anything but I know God got us, and I know sold-out shows, screaming fans – it’s going to look like The Beatles when they first came to the States.”

evolve wifisfuneral as a whole and my brand. I just really want to set myself up in a position where I can feel really comfortable with my career and do things that I’ve always wanted to do. I really hope that with this tour, it’s like a domino effect in a sense; it just stacks up everything for the right place, for the right time for other bigger and better opportunities. Doing a sixth tour, you kind of get adjusted to everything and you know exactly what to do, what not to do, how to prepare, how not to prepare and I want to keep touring, honestly. I want to go on as many tours as possible because rappers are like dogs. The older you get, you can’t really do as much… So I just want to take advantage of that as much as possible.

Tell me about Rich Life Records.

What’s it’s like owning your own label?

I came up with the idea almost two years ago. I just had a lot of talented individuals that I felt like were on the same tier as me as far as making music, like I thought they were just as good as me if not better, and I was just like, “Yo, I really want these specific individuals to have their talents showcased in the best way possible, presented to everyone and to the mass media.” So I started my label. My manager helped me as far as starting it, and right now I have five artists.

Do you guys all hang out a lot?

When you’re all in the same room, what’s the energy like?

We definitely hang out a lot. We’re all really good friends. We all met each other like a good three years ago, so for the most part it’s like a real friendship.

It’s more like a brotherhood. It’s a record label, but we move as more of a brotherhood and a collective.

I think it’s funny that your Twitter handle is “Emo Thug.” Talk a little bit about where that name came from and what it means to you.

I was just talking to one of my friends one day and they were asking me like, “Yo, how would you describe your music?” and I was just like, “I don’t know, like an emo kid that just raps over thug-ass beats, like emo thug music.” And we all just started laughing hard as f*ck and then the name just kept playing in my head whenever I would listen to beats… I may make that the name of a project.

Multiple group projects later, Twelvyy, born Jamel Phillips, has finally released his breakout solo project, 12. Boasting features from his A$AP Mob cohorts A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, A$AP Nast and A$AP Ant, as well as fellow New Yorkers Joey Bada$$ and Flatbush ZOMBiES, 12 serves as a family affair and an introduction into Twelvyy’s world.

The long writing and recording process taught the Castle Hill-viaHarlem rapper a lot, he says. Twelvyy estimates he created 20 to 30 different track lists with different names and songs.

“It was a journey. It was like Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger,” Twelvyy says. “It was cold. I had to go up the mountain. I had to feel it out. It was a process of me scouting myself and scouting the game, just holding the template to use for my other projects as well. I was testing the waters all the time.”

One of many members on the Mob’s long roster, Twelvyy keeps the tradition of New York rap alive within the cutting-edge group. From 12’s lyrically vivid, boom bap-flavored opening cut, “Castle Hell,” to the sleek and modern “Hop Out,” Twelvyy merges the new with the classic, giving new and old hip-hop heads something to latch on to.

His skills and range were inspired by his eclectic influences, which he says vary from Bad Boy Records, RocA-Fella Records, Wu-Tang Clan, Nine, Royal Flush, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Onyx to the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

“It was just everything I loved,” he says. “I would listen to it, study it and then be like, ‘Well, let me do this this way.’ Not even showing my full ability at the time, but just like, testing the waters.”

During the past half-decade, Twelvyy released a steady stream of non-album singles, including the ’90s throwback “Xscape,” which was meant to be on the Mob’s scrapped debut album, L.O.R.D. During this time, he gained many life experiences.

BELIEVE THE HYPE A Q & A WITH RAPPER HOODIE ALLEN

MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

S

teven Markowitz, better known by his stage name Hoodie Allen, has an impressive resume.

Not many chart-topping rappers can also

Markowitz grew up in Long Island listening to an eclectic mix of East Coast hip-hop and West Coast pop punk.

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, he landed a job at Google, but ultimately decided to pursue music.

The rapper recently released his third studio album, The Hype, the highly anticipated follow-up to last year’s Happy Camper, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Rap/Hip-Hop and Independent Albums charts.

Markowitz wants to tell a story and send a message while making music to turn up to. His polarizing influences have also given him significant street cred in both alternative and mainstream spheres.

The uplifting, infectious beats and clever, confessional rhymes on his newest effort also prove that sometimes, the hype is worth listening to.

Tell me about the inspiration and ideas behind The Hype.

There’s a lot of hype around the word “hype.” What are some things that you think are super overhyped right now? What about things that are underhyped?

Well, hype itself is probably overhyped.

Flat tummy tea, whatever people are putting on Instagram. I would say that California is overhyped and New York is underhyped.

Underhyped is definitely walking around and going to parks and exploring your city and neighborhood, overhyped is “Netflix and chillin’.”

You’re known for making yourself extremely accessible to your fans. Why is connecting on such a personal level with your fans so important to you?

I want to do what I wish all the artists I loved growing up could’ve done for me, which is be that person who will acknowledge your existence. I feel like it also provides me with a lot of context for why I’m doing this and it really makes everything worthwhile. I could never be one of those artists who just hangs out in a hotel all day and pulls up to the show like five minutes before they play and then leaves right afterwards.

Who did you grow up listening to and what role did music play in your childhood?

I was a very voracious music consumer, like there will be songs that are 15, 16, 17 years old and I still know every single word.

I think that’s one of my greatest talents; I can hear a song once and remember the whole thing. I listened to The Roots, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Nas, Big L, Big Pun…a lot of East Coast hip-hop. But I also love The Offspring, Sum 41, Blink-182 and all the pop punk bands that were killing it at the time.

Did you always anticipate pursuing a career in music?

No, I think it’s impossible to just predict something like that. It’s kind of a weird thing to plan for. It’s something that was a passion of mine that I was lucky to find an audience with and once I found that audience… I think it really gave me the confidence to double down and put all my work into it.

Can you talk a little bit about your college experience and how that phase of your life impacted you and why you decided to leave that to pursue music?

I graduated; I think that was something that was very important for my family.

I’m glad that they made me stay in school because there was a point around my

junior year where things were starting to happen a little bit musically and I could’ve left and they were like, “Don’t leave, this will all happen when it’s meant to happen.”

Obviously I ended up staying…That whole part of my story is really non-traditional and I’m very grateful to be able to sort of encourage people…They don’t have to choose, it’s not like one or the other… As long as you prioritize what’s important to you.

Being able to make something with no expectations for commercial success and really making what I think is the best just works better for me.

What was it like working at Google?

Yeah, I think we do have a lot of the same values. He’s just proving that there really is no glass ceiling if you make the right stuff and you connect with an audience… He’s really an inspiration and I’m glad I got to collaborate with him; I’m glad I can call him a friend. He’s really championing out here for people like myself and any up-andcoming younger artists.

It’s a very nurturing environment full of creative, smart people. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to work; it just so happened that I had this other thing that mattered a little more to me and it ended up working out. They let me take a leave of absence for six months and said, “If this music thing doesn’t work out, your job is still here. You can come back any time.” I just knew that I was so committed to making this happen that after six months, my life was heading in that direction, thankfully, and I didn’t have to go back and beg for my job (laughs).

On The Hype, you teamed up with (pop punk) band State Champs, who are also from New York. It’s an awesome collab, albeit a surprising one.

I’m wondering how that came about and what that process was like for you?

I think they’re awesome dudes and I love their music and if you ever see a live show of mine, there are a lot of elements of a rock band. Vocally, I think if I wasn’t a rapper, I’d probably want to be the lead singer of a pop punk band. When I wrote that song, I just had them in mind as the perfect collaboration... I think it’s been one of the fans’ favorite songs so far, so don’t be surprised if they pull up at one of the shows and we do a little live performance.

All of your albums and mixtapes have been self-released. I’m sure you’ve been approached by labels, so why turn them down and remain independent?

A couple years back, you collaborated with Chance the Rapper, who also has no allegiance to a label. What was it like working with him and did you find that you guys share a lot of the same values?

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

The ones that come to mind are Mos Def’s Black on Both Sides and Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. I have vinyls of both in my apartment untouched, kind of as a keepsake.

Do you have a big vinyl collection?

I don’t, but I hope to. Right now, I’m just in the mindset where I want to use it as a representation of the things that really inspire me and I think are defining for my creativity.

What can fans expect out of your live show?

The show is super high energy. It’s nothing like any other rap show you come to see. We play with a full live band; it’s got crazy production and a lot of fun gags that happen… I just want to leave everyone there with a smile on their face.

I think the main story was looking at the last five years of my life…and trying to take a look at the beginning of someone getting some buzz or getting some hype around them. There’s so many twists and turns and ups and downs and I really wanted to explore how certain successes lead to other personal problems in my life, people around you acting differently and relationships failing, and all that comes with good stuff too. And it’s hard to balance all of it together.

boast an ivy league education and a stint at a Silicon Valley tech giant, but Markowitz can claim all three — with a remarkable sense of humility.

ODESZA

FESTIVAL VETS HAVE SURPRISES PLANNED FOR LOST LAKE SET MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES touring, like we’re closing out on a big main stage,” Knight says. “For this one in particular, there are a bunch of new surprises currently lined up. I don’t want to give too much away but we definitely spent a lot of time working on it and we’re really excited for it. It’s definitely got a lot of moving pieces and it should be quite the show.”

According to Knight, the duo has developed a new catalog of unreleased music that they’ve been building specifically for their Lost Lake set.

“We have a bunch of new production. We revamp a lot of our older songs; basically we remix them to be completely new songs and we’re playing a lot of songs that we’ve never played out before from the album,” Mills adds.

The new album, released last month, includes more orchestral and cinematic elements, the result of the pair’s extensive pre-studio research of movie scores and soundtracks. Mills notes Philip Glass, Ennio Morricone and Johann Johannsson as some of their biggest influences.

“We’ve been fans of film scores for a really long time. When we were coming

back after touring (for In Return), it was just something we fell back on and we loved,” he says. “We always go back to things we really love and try to find why we make music in the first place when we start working on a big project.

That was something we always wanted to try, so we felt like it was a good time to experiment in that field.”

A Moment Apart could be considered Odesza’s coming-of-age album, a sonic retrospection on how they’ve evolved as musicians while maintaining the integrity of their sound. Mills says the album is a microcosm of Odesza’s exploration of modern music while simultaneously staying true to the classics.

“It’s trying to find that balance between not completely alienating your audience and people that have grown to love the things you’ve made but also pushing yourself to try to do something really new,” he says. “It’s us kind of being more internal and trying to develop the sound we’ve created and trying to expand on it and evolve with it and really grow.”

The blend of orchestral and electronic elements will lend

themselves well to Odesza’s Lost Lake set. Though much of their music is inherently introverted and mellow, Knight and Mills aim to create an atmosphere that will translate well to an energetic festival crowd.

“We really want it to be this big, theatrical production,” Mills says. “We spent a lot of time thinking about building these moments throughout our set that are like place markers for where we want people to be… We work really hard to make it this big, epic performance and hopefully people are along for the ride. You never really know what to expect until you’re feeding off the energy of the crowd around you.”

Knight says that energy is one of his favorite parts of the experience, something that keeps the duo grounded in an industry that is often looked at as disillusioning.

“The more and more we perform and the more we see the music connecting with the audience… it’s a pretty humbling experience,” he says. “We’re just really honored and humbled to be a part of it.” CT

Clayton Knight and Harrison Mills, who make up the DJ duo Odesza, bring an eclectic mix of influences to the turntable.

The Seattle-based musicians blend glittering IDM beats with melodious samples and vocals with dizzying dexterity. The pair released their first album, Summer’s Gone, in 2012, which garnered a great deal of notoriety in the underground electronic scene, but they quickly achieved mainstream success with the releases of 2014’s In Return, and their most recent effort, A Moment Apart. They are veterans of the festival circuit, having brought their high-energy sets to stages at Outside Lands, Coachella and Bonaroo.

Knight and Mills will also wrap up the inaugural Lost Lake Festival at Steele Indian School Park on Sunday, October 22. They admit that serving as the festival’s finale is a bit daunting, even for a seasoned act. But Odesza never fails to keep audiences on their toes, whether it’s with live instruments, lighting, visuals or new music.

“Theres a certain expectation to perform a great show, but we kind of treat every show, especially when we’re
