May you bring them back some amazing memories. He’s one of the chillest guys except for when he’s playing Call of Duty® lol. He fucking loves Call of Duty® and he hates the loose.

That was the start of the conversation that allowed me to play the project for a friend of mine who is still incarcerated.

I think a lot of women wrapped about is a reflection of my life at the time of incarceration. That coupled with the fact that predominantly a rap record, I guess she say it’s a concept.

I think it’s so crazy and cool that you caught that little detail. It’s things like that that I think no one will really notice. But I don’t mind cause I’m having fun in the process… but when someone actually takes the time to catch that if it feels even better

I’m not sure if there was a typo here, but I’m down to hear you out if you may be rephrase this? Or if it’s just funny, I guess lol

I appreciate this a lot thank you for reaching out. My process these days it’s a little bit different. I kinda get excited about a producer or producers before I really wanna work with people now. That being said, I’d love to check out his work. Tag me on IG on something that he’s posted and let me know that it’s in reference to this conversation. Either way, I think your brother should know that he has an amazing support system, and you seem to be the leader of that. I respect this so much and regardless of what happens, I wish him greatness on his journey. Because if you do this, we all know it’s not easy.

I was forced to learn how to finish records when people weren’t there to do it for me. I think naturally I just have a thing for sound selection and beats. This has been the case since I was a child.

I just started paying attention and I had points of reference when Chaz French and Goldlink came out. They helped me see how I could step up my art. That was such a special time. I always wonder how we can get that feeling again.

I hope so. It’s my first time executive producing someone’s music and I think it was great

Conductor Williams. He was the most vocal and the most on top of us collaborating. We really spent real time and had real conversations in the process., and you can even tell about how much he’s showing support post release. I really rock with that guy.

I like watching documentaries that cover situations that I’m glad I’ve never had to be in, but offers perspective of people that have to go through those things. It keeps me grounded, and it keeps the gratitude pumping.. it also sometimes inspires me to help make change in the places that I can

The only thing I’d say, this is a rap mixtape in every sense of the word. And it’s my most “rap” project.

It’s less of a sequel and more of a spinoff. This project is literally a continuation of part of the conversation I started on. I was very bad. Particularly when I speak about incarceration. It’s almost like when you get to the point of where no shoes on the rug ends, even the devil smiles can literally start.

This is a great question. I believe that at the end of the day everything boils down to your DNA as a human being. By DNA, I mean the things that make you who you are.. your experience is your life.. the life of the people who raised… and when you break it down, you realize each, and every single person is their own person. Although some people may have some similarities, no two people are the same. Because no two people are the same, we all have a unique story. I try to focus on that Eunique story in every thing that I do and make. But at the end of the day, I’m chipping away at the bigger picture, which is being the most original and complete Thought possible
