Do you think fans expect you to always go through that pain for them now? Some of your most successful music has come from a dark place. And Dirty Sprite, the first Dirty Sprite, just putting it together and just being more hands-on. And knowing I've been put in this position before, I wanted to be more involved in this album, like when I was in my mixtapes, when I first started doing my mixtapes at the beginning, like 1000 and Kno Mercy and the beginning, when I had a lot of say-so. I had to have a lot of people in the studio, a lot of opinions and just trust everyone around me also trusting myself. This album, because I have so much music I had recorded so much in 2018, and I didn't drop as much, it was a major process. When you're putting together an album like this, how do you know what to pull from? You must have thousands of unreleased songs. And you know, I had the tag on there, “Wheezy outta here.” So, it was just like we made a good match, and that's what it is. It just hypnotizes you, from the beginning. It's like it captures you, just off his beats, the sounds that he choose. I feel like, sonically, his sound right now is mind-blowing, and it just might have you in this frenzy. It was more records that Wheezy had on this. I pretty much work with still the same producers. Who's producing on this project, and what kind of sound did y'all bring? You and 808 Mafia built a sound together. You and Mike Will built a sound together. So, it's just going back, but also, just me taking what's already there and just critiquing it and just taking advantage of that moment and this opportunity to reflect on him and also to just close the chapter out of everything I've done so far up until now. It was just like me continuing his legacy of him even believing in me. It just sit with me more, and it define me in a lot of ways. It's probably one of those personas that resonates towards me.
Why did you feel like now was the right time to introduce that persona to the fans? He was calling me The Wizard.Īt the time, it just felt like, Man, you got it figured out. I think it was dope, the way it came out. But he end up thinking like, Man that's the best part of the song. I thought he'd probably be like, Man, I'm not keeping that. I didn't think he was gonna make it a part of my actual verse or even keep it at all. The high-pitched verse was pretty much added by Kendrick, 'cause I had left it at the end of the song, just something I was doing just in case they wanted to have a intro or outro. One moment that really did steal the show, though, was your verse on “King's Dead.” What can you tell me about the process of recording that high-pitched verse?
I just get in a comfortable creative space and just finding new ways to record, finding new friends to record with, new producers, and bouncing off each other's ideas. How does that change the way you record when you're not attaching it to one project? Or you're not rushing to put it out or give it to fans.
