Michael Uzowuru has production credits on both Blonde and Endless. He was behind the boards for "RAF" and "Chanel." He's done work on many of Frank Ocean's most recent work, but he rarely does interviews.

From the piece on i-D:

"You go to the studio with other artists and you have to make them better. You go to the studio with Frank and no one wants Frank to be better than Frank does."

This is a really interesting piece. Uzowuru recently worked with Rex Orange County as well.
