Someone asked if Baauer had any collaborations with Skrillex or Jack U, and Nick Hook chimed in, saying that he "may or may not have been around for a baauer / skrillex/ asap ferg collab." We need to hear that, A$AP.

We actually picked up a lot of info on Nick Hook in this AMA; most importantly that he has about five tracks that he did with DJ Rashad (he was huge into the footwork movement, and is cool with a lot of the TEKLIFE crew). He definitely has a dope personality, has worked with everyone from El-P to L-Vis 1990, and should be on your radar.
