I was a super fan of the song, but I just didn’t know who made it. Why did you flip Logic’s “1-800” record into your own for “1 (773) Vulture?” I had an Uncle Dale and he died on my grandma’s bed. What do you remember about your grandma’s crib growing up? You reference seeing your first dead body on “Granny Crib.”Įverything - the roaches, rats, no food and no heat. 700 strong with different artists and 200 that I can get people on. Then the next day we’ll slide to the studio and do seven more. We don’t go in the studio and do just one song. Yeah, we look at each other like brothers. The faster you work the better and this is our job. We set it up the next day after the track.
It was basically like the same day for the video. That’s why I like working with artists in Atlanta. When did you connect with Lil Baby to craft “How I Know” with the visual as well? If you got a vibe with a producer I think you should go full-fledged instead of being satisfied with two songs. We got 18 records that we did on the same night. We just locked in the studio at the time in Atlanta. I worked with Fuse who is part of the 808 Mafia. I’m a fan of my music regardless so you have to think outside of the box. I let my team pick what order the records go. I was explaining to that this record should go. How did the project intro “Public Housing” come together? Giving the material that I want to give and build a buzz to the highest that I didn’t get a chance to with Def Jam. We’re down to talk, but for now, we’re doing Only The Family Entertainment and just focusing on me. I was unhappy.Īre you looking to sign with anyone or stay independent for now?
We just dropped “Make It Out” and told them that was the one and they couldn’t do it. They ran with one record, “My Beyonce.” That’s what we brought to them. We had material to prove to the labels that this would work too. I never really got a chance to enjoy anything because I’ve been with them for five years. They wanted parts of everything and I had to ask for everything like, “Can I put this out as a single?” or “We should push this out.” They would say “Nah, I don’t think so.” And that’s where politics would step in. If I went any other type of way it would have been a worse situation. There was a hold up with Def Jam and all I knew that could save me was being consistent with music. Why flood the marketplace with content by dropping four projects in total?
We had to go through so many situations with asking the label and delays and now I can drop when I want being independent.įirst independent tape since off def jam now I’m free and finna burn 2018 down - /umUxDvbda9 I just got off Def Jam and this is the first project just to get to my fans because I’ve been stuck. It was too show y’all the new and improved me.
