I I feel like I’m at a point now in my career where I just genuinely want to make a solid project that I’m proud of. This is my attempt at making a classic hip-hop album that will play 10 years from now, and it will stand the test of time. It’s very simple; I really just did whatever came to mind and whatever felt natural at that point. That’s what it’s about for me.
