I don’t want my kids saying, ‘My dad was a gangster, so I need to be a gangster. I would rather mine say, ‘My dad was a stunna, so I need to be a stunna.
A mixtape is for the street, it’s something you without necessarily thinking about it because you have to stay in the game. It’s like writing an e-mail saying hello to your friends.
It’s a pretty crazy thing in which I tried to make songs, real songs, not the quick stuff like on tape. A dose of Kendrick Lamar, a dose of J. Cole, because it’s got to be an album that goes in the club.
I always knew I could rap, and in a sense, I always rapped. And I’ve always behaved like a rapper. But I started to take it seriously when I recorded with the people of Brick when I started to receive some money.
The same image that I have of all the countries where I am supposed to go: it’s far, it’s different, it will be necessarily complicated, It’s another part of the world for me coming from the United States.
