Street interviews about favorite artists from @nick.knows.ball

An interviewer at a basketball event asks various attendees two questions about their music taste: which single artist they would listen to for life, and which underappreciated artist will become a top 10 star. The video rapidly cuts between different interviewees' answers, using image overlays to show the artists they mention, creating a fast-paced compilation of music opinions.
