Better in Person episode 3, Finally Offline's street interview series hosted by Savvy, features the Harlem rapper Liim at Family Style Fest just after his set. Asked whether he is better in person or better online, Liim first says online, then admits it is a hard thing to perceive, and Savvy decides he is better in person. Describing the festival, Liim says everybody he ever met on earth is right there, and that his favorite thing to do offline is make music. Liim is 22, raised in Harlem, and released the 17 track debut album Liim Lasalle Loves You.

Key Points

Better in Person caught Liim at Family Style Fest, minutes after he came off his set.

Liim is twenty two, raised in Harlem, and usually has a camcorder in his hand. His debut, Liim Lasalle Loves You, runs seventeen tracks of love songs that never settle into one genre, built on jazz loops and soul fragments with the voices of the people around him running through the record.

The question is always the same. Are you better in person, or better online?

He picked online. Then he thought about it and started arguing with himself, which is the honest answer most people land on. "It is a hard thing to perceive," he said. Sav made the call for him: better in person.

The best line of the episode was not about him at all. Asked what he liked most about the day, Liim looked around the festival and said, "I think everybody I ever met on earth is right here, right now." Then, on anyone who skipped it: "If you are not here, then it is like, where are you?"

One last question, the one we ask everybody. What do you like to do when you are offline?

"Make music."
