What kind of optimism are you giving the kids out there? It’s really just the same as it’s always been. They just treat me with more royalty because of the stuff that I’m on now, but for the most part, people already know how me and my crew get down. They looking up to me to help that situation, so it’s like I don’t even get caught up in the politics. The environment I’m in, they don’t even get caught up in that, because he ain’t helping us. What’s the vibe like in D.C., especially with Trump in the White House? Memphis Native Teddy Walton Talks Producing GoldLink's Grammy-Nominated Song 'Crew' & His New EP… I just don’t make it with people just because they have good music. I feel like, even someone just hopping on one of my records, they might not be going through this type of stuff that I’m going through, or they might not be the same person I am, so it’s like - it’s deeper than the music with me. The thing about music, like, it just means so much to me. I always said it would be crazy if you, A Boogie, and PnB Rock did a collaboration project together. I think he was on tour - sent it back the next day. This thing’s serious.’ And then he sent it back the next day. And then I told him, ‘Look, I got this joint for you. A Boogie wanted “Take Me Away,” actually. He was like, ‘Man, this just fit you so well,’ because of what I did on it. Trey, we did a couple joints in the studio, and then he just felt as though that was just the best vibe. How did “Dope Boy Magic” with Trey Songz and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie come together? I control who around me, who I want around me versus everybody else. They got everybody in their ear, and they just so weak that they like, ‘Huh? Huh? Huh?’ I just be like, ‘No.’ I put my foot down every time, and everybody can’t say no. I don’t gotta have people around just because - I just don’t have to be deep because I’m a rapper, or just because everybody wanna be a part of my success.
SHY GLIZZY QUIET STORM SONGS HOW TO
You mentioned Glizzy Gang, so I wonder how have you managed to keep your circle so tight and not get lost in the industry nonsense?īecause I’ve been going through those problems my whole life, or facing that reality, so it’s like - I already know how to be around 100 people going through the club 100-deep. We just create our waves, and people ride ‘em. I just started my own lane and it’s just me and Glizzy Gang. Because everybody just ride the waves of someone else when I just like - I’m me. So it’s like me just trying to put on a whole movement. Like, what I’m going through, they going through, and what they going through, I’m going through. We just all on the same platform, the same pedestal. Some people got people that bring ‘em down.
Some people got people that bring ‘em up. How do you still suffer from these every day issues despite having so much money and success all around you? I really just go off my vibe and really how I’m feeling - what my instinct is - and just put it on wax. It took me like 30 minutes to do because that was like my mood at the time. So I sat with it for three, four hours - 5 a.m. I was feelin’ the beat, but I didn’t know exactly how to get what I wanted to say out. One at home when they first brought it to me, and then I think I got to L.A., then we brought it back to New York. Talk to me about the “Take Me Away” record? How did it come together? And you know? We always been musically inclined, too. The next guy, he might give up on what he’s trying to do going through some of this shit. I go through regular situations, so I’m motivated by it. Shit, man, I mean, the things that I go through on a daily basis. How do you manage to keep this hunger and not get comfortable even after just recieving a Grammy nod?
