I wanted to take it back to what I’ve been doing for the past nine years. I was one of the first to do the double album back in 1998, with, too, which was also a double album. I wanted to give my fan base a variety of music, songs of different flavors. I wanted to present different angles of the game with different content.
Me and my team are always in the studio together. We talk about who would go good on certain tracks. We just reach out to folks and they reach out to me. We all just be there for one another. I wanted to make this a star-studded event. I wanted to put a bunch of features on one song, so I’ve got Quavo and Roddy Ricch on one hook, I’ve got ScHoolboy Q and A$AP Ferg on verses. I’ve got three or four features on a lot of these songs.We making movies with lyrics. We paint pictures.
I rock with those who rock with me, let’s just put it that way. If you’re out there making noise, and I make a song with you, it won’t fall on deaf ears. I wanna be on a song that’ll have some reach. I don’t wanna just get on records with artists I fuck with and for the songs to just sit there. There are lesser-known artists that I rock with, but they’re not out there the way they need to be. I just want the artists to work harder in pushing their product.
