For more background on the motivations of the CYP2 creators, you can find a comprehensive interview in�LA Times� Pop & Hiss�
HERE�and Franki Chan, told Spinner "CYP's main function is to introduce new artists or shine a spotlight on cool things that are happening musically. We like to be able to provide people with a wealth of information on each artist and the show as a whole. Adding to the experience are these mixtapes and our videos that give people something they can 'take home' with them and/or experience the show whether they live in L.A. of not."
