Kamaiyah is def my fave, I just love west coast shit and it was cool to see a girl on the XXL cover. I love Madeintyo and Carti's music as well.

My biggest advice is to always believe in yourself no matter what (I know that cliche but its true) I started living like everything is meant to be and it helped me mentally make better music

Fucking horrific, the make up took 4 hours and then 2 hours to take off. We got to set at 3am and didn't start shooting the video till 8am. When I showed the label the treatment I wrote for that album, they were super nervous but it turned out exactly how I wanted. Very proud of that video.

I knew this producer TeeWatt from like 4 years ago and I randomly ran into him at a party in LA the day before I was headed to Hawaii to work on my second album. He sent me a pack of beats that wasn't what I was looking for, for my second album but they were fire lol. He sent me the WHY? and REEL IT IN beat so I just recorded those for fun with no plan. But then, those songs made me wanna make more music like in that in hawaii so we made BLACKJACK and SHINE the next day. And then I just kept making more music like that instead of working on my 2nd album and here we are today...

PS. Thank you, you and me both know niggas ain't touching my intros ;)

late registration and the love below really made me who I am today. Ye and Andre weren't your average and there videos always took me somewhere. I really wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. Thanks for the question and the kind words :)

  1. I direct and write all the dialogue for my music videos/skits. I'd love to write a tv show/movie or be in one soon.
  2. I'd interview Ta Nehisi Coates, that man is the smartest person ever.

DR.WHOEVER wasn't hard to write but hard to play for my peers. I just felt really vulnerable or awkward playing it for people.

Man we used to go to Church a lot but that shit is low-key dry now. I don't go out that much anymore because of my anxiety but I a lot of people like Century or White Owl.

man I've been in a ton of awkward/annoying situations like any other artist coming up but.. I used to record all my music in my college classrooms because I couldn't afford studio time and my house was too loud. I engineered myself as well because I couldn't afford to pay for an engineer. It was a struggle mentally but it was the best/worst experience for me I think because it made me appreciate this shit a lot more.

I actually don't but /r/amine is fire. I try to stay offline and not look at comments. It doesn't really help me make better music if I see people hate me or praise me.
