You’ve probably cooked up a couple of ideas by now. What have you been thinking about as far as music goes?
Yeah when I come home I really just want to perfect my craft with this music bro. With this next album that I drop, I want to really show the world that —— I know the world know I could really rap, but I feel like I haven’t even put my all in this s**t yet. I know probably to a lot of people it seems like a n***a really be rapping but it’s like I been in and out of jail, focused on the streets. I’m telling myself if I could do a year in jail bro and do all these years in jail, imagine if I spent not even a year, a few months. I ain’t even ever spent a few months taking music serious. I always take music serious for this long, double back to this, go back to music, double back to this. But I’m telling myself, if I just focus on this music s**t for a period of time and put my all in this. I put my alll in the s**t that don’t matter bro. I’ll be great.
I feel you on that. As long as you put effort into it then you’re going to succeed. You’ve done great so far so imagine if you put all that energy into it.
That’s what I’m saying. It’s getting serious. It’s life changing now. It’s not like it’s how it just was. It’s like I was going crazy but it wasn’t life-changing yet. Now it’s life changing. I got the chance to really be great. I was already great though, but a n***a got a chance to be one of the greats so I’m finna take advantage of this little opportunity I got and try to perfect my craft and give it my all even if I don’t plan on doing it for my whole life bro. I’m going to make sure this next run legendary.
I think you put your all into the new album. You got 21 songs on there. Talk about making of the album. Was it already basically done before you went in? How did you put that all together?
I got that out the way immediately because I knew I was going to have to turn myself in. So it’s like as soon as I got out I was just hitting the studio, going to shows and hitting the studio. My set goal was already to make an album. So it’s like I just went in the studio. I ain’t write none of them songs or nothing. I just went in there and just went crazy. I was fresh out, I had so much to say and so much on my mind that I couldn’t express. I was in jail. A n***a just hit the booth and went crazy and it just turned out to be phenomenal.
You’ve had a lot of success with your song “Boogieman.” Talk about making that song and your reaction after it blew up.
I really didn’t drop it, if you want me to be honest, I was adamant on not dropping that motherf**ker like “Man we ain’t dropping this. We need to drop something else.” But they ended up dropping it and it was the most viewed video that I ever dropped on my YouTube in a day. Then it just starts going crazy. In a month, it had 3 million or something. I’m just seeing how crazy it was going bro. My mom telling me about it and the numbers that it was doing. That s**t really meant a lot to a n***a bro. It’s like the background that I come from… n***as from my city don’t get that type of chance. It’s n***as from my city that got that chance, but they wasn’t on what we was on. They just made a song and blew up. We really was on that. We really came from that background who we rapping about. We really had seen some s**t and have been through some s**t bro that made us this way. So it’s like when n***as like us make it, it hit different. The s**t that’s happening for me —— its rare so I’m grateful for it. That’s why I’m humble about it and I move a certain way. I move how I move and interact with my fans how I interact with ’em bro because I can’t act like I’m better than nobody. I still know what I came from.
I feel like your fans understand you, and that’s what’s important. They see and hear how authentic you are and they’re putting you up there with the greats. I don’t know if you know about this, but have you seen the mashup with “Boogieman” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”?
What’s the mashup?
It’s your verse from “Boogieman” over the “Not Like Us” instrumental. It’s a mashup I saw on the timeline. How do you even feel getting that kind of comparison from your fans?
Man, a n***a grateful though on the dead homies. Like I said, n***as don’t get these type of opportunities bro. So just to even be brought up in a conversation with someone like Kendrick Lamar that’s a main n***a, you feel me? I’m just from Stockton and then he’s been all across the world. I ain’t been nowhere on the dead homies. So just to be brought up in that conversation, it’s an accomplishment for me. So I’m grateful
I’m going to try and pull it up just so you can hear it. *Plays mashup*
On dead homies, I ain’t never heard that. That’s fire for sure.
