Rap song buddy12/26/2023 I was trying to take my mind off the fact that this was my debut album and I’d never done this before. So we’d just be having fun while the homies were working on the beats. With the album, I had a bunch of different producers coming in and out of the studio, and I spent like $300 at Toys R Us on a bunch of toys: dinosaurs, lego, rubix cubes, yo-yos, nerf guns. I’m tired of paying these big fancy studios by the hour, I want to have place in my house where I can just go to whenever, that’s how I’m trying to move moving forward. It varies, you know? Right now my main goal is to build out a studio for myself. How do you like to move in the studio? Do you like to have people around or is it all business? I’m trying to tap into a bunch of different stuff, ain’t just one thing. Working with Pharrell was a confirmation, like ‘Okay, this is what’s crackin.’ But I feel like the real turning point was when I started to really find a sound that worked for me-branching off, working with a bunch of different producers. How old were you when you met Pharrell? Did that feel like a turning point for you? Snoop and I ended up just rapping back and forth, like damn! My mom was at the studio too, I was smoking on the low from my mom. We started making a song, that’s how we met. Snoop just walked in and you could smell it-I was like damn, I know exactly who that is. This is when I was younger, probably 18 or 19. I was in Miami with Pharrell, in the studio cutting a record. I wasn’t in the studio when he recorded that verse, but the first time I ever met Snoop Dogg we made a song together. Did you get to work in the studio with him? Snoop Dogg features on your record-that’s a pretty huge LA icon. Growing up in in LA it was just all around: the gangster rap, blues, soul, R&B, and stuff from out of town because everyone comes to LA anyway. I’d say it was people in church, family and friends, stuff on the radio, and songs I’d hear at block parties. Sometimes OGs is not with it.ĭid hanging out with those older people in the church shape your taste as a kid? You get the best advice from the OGs… well, sometimes, not all the time. I just feel like they’ve been through it already. I always hung out with and looked up to the old niggas, in the church and the streets. Are you consciously referencing to the past? ![]() Parts of your record have an old soulful feeling-like that film. had the slick back! Oh my god, yeah I remember that movie. It’s funny you say Tarantino, when I first heard your record some of it reminded me of his movie Jackie Brown, have you seen it? I’m tryna make a Scorsese, I need a Wes Anderson, I want a Spielberg and a Tarantino. What kind of films do you want to be doing?
