When you're not thinking about it,
it's not tough.
But when you start, thinking about it,
and the, pressure is there, that's when it's tough.
Burna Boy, big artists, J5, big producer,
big song, big expectation.
I'm just thinking, "All right, cool.
"I gotta make sure this is perfect."
You know, the delivery, the tone, the swagger.
There was something about it, and I think that,
that's why, that song, probably sounds so different,
to a lot stuff that I've done, 'cause,
it took a lot of time to just make sure you know.
I think Burna Boy is, super duper talented.
An amazing artist,
and, at that time, I didn't know what we gonna do,
'cause he's so versatile.
So, we just linked up
and I didn't feel we were gonna make music,
we were just like, meeting for the first time.
To catch a vibe, you know,
and then, sat down with J5, and it was magical from there.
I think what came first was,
we were sitting down on a piano,
and playing some chords.
Burna Boy just started singing.
And then, his hook was the first scene that we had,
and then he just free styled, so.
His hook was first,
and then his verse was first.
And then J, started doing the beat
and then we just kept playing, just vibing.
- There're always like these, rapstar stuff, so.
I was, I was definitely on it.
Everything I was saying in the song,
is exactly how I was, in the studio.
I had literally, just got off the phone with
my brother Zona.
We just came out, who's on probation and stuff.
Literally, before I walked into the studio.
I've been on vacation twice, I think,
to Dubai, both times.
We actually listened to Location, in Dubai.
But we were listening to the old version of Location.
There was like, an old version.
And that's when we realized,
"Oh, this song's kinda like, this is,
"this is actually pretty sick!
I just remember writing, that verse, for Location.
The first verse, I'm thinking I'm gonna write this,
from a girl's point of view.
If I was a girl, what's the first verse,
that I wanna hear.
There's someone.
I wanted, girls to be able to get behind,
and feel like, that's them.
So, yeah, I like Ray J overseas song, "One Wish."
It makes sense, you know.
Pree is just, slang for,
just saying, watch or looks.
So I was like, oh yeah, I pree'd that girl,
outrageous ting.
I'm looking at a girl,
but she can't see, 'cause I'm wearing sun glasses.
But I'm looking at her, I'm looking at all of you.
I'm looking.
It's a little bit of a double, 'cause like when I say it,
it's like a, it's a complement like.
No shade, what shade your foundation?
But, on the flip side,
when you're a girl, it's like,
oh, you wanna throw shade, alright, no shade but,
what shades your foundation in?
'Cause it's not matching.
Chase and status, like,
chase and status to music producers,
as well as, chase and status isn't,
caring about the attention and the fame,
you know that stuff.
Girls wanna chase, 'cause of status,
guys wanna chase 'cause of status,
that's just what people do.
I was more, on the, 'Playboy I don't need a Carti',
the watch.
Then I was, the, the rapper of the year,
shout out to Playboy Carti, hard.
I'm a playboy, I don't need,
the money, the jewels, the such and such,
to be, who I am.
It's not exactly, Shakespearian lyrics,
it's just like, yeah, if your ex is, the wave then,
we are the, the bigger wave.
It's, now that I have to break it down,
I'm gonna have to look back on a lyric.
You know what, I didn't even know if I'm a wavy guy at all.
Now that I'm breaking it down.
You ask for my wavy moments.
I'm running low on wavy moments.
So parred means, like, disrespected.
They think that you think, Oh, you're violating me.
Cool, it's calm, disrespect who you want, it's okay.
You're hardly disrespecting me.
I'm laughing about it.
I'm assisting my friend.
I've given it to him.
You know what I'm saying, I've given him, the free wall.
I've given him, access to you.
This is has happened, on my world, I've called that shot.
Ps is money, paper.
And the ends, is the area.
You've gotta figure out about who the stuff in the area,
new at politics, and that,
you've gotta focus, do your thing.
If you wanna see Ps, you gotta get past the end, first.
The letter, yeah, alphabet.
Money is like the alphabet.
Yeah, you get what I'm saying.
That far from the rest, but I'm far from my best,
is probably my favorite line, in the song as well.
It's not flashy, but, it just means, what I said.
A girl, sitting down, 25,
listening to Location, can feel, I'm far from the rest.
I'm not like these other girls.
A guy could sit down, and say,
I'm not like everyone else, I'm far from the rest.
But I am far from my best
and there's always more to do, you know.
J5 actually tried to get me to take that eight bar out.
I can announce on Genius.
J5 was like, bro yeah, cut it.
I don't want a 24 bar, I want a 16 bar.
If this makes the cut, J, I wanna tell you.
Yo, I'm saying, listen to me more,
respect me.
You know obviously I did,
see myself getting a car, as I know lot.
It's like, that's you know,
(laughing) that's normal.
Yeah, everyone sees that.
Everywhere I video, as a kid,
you see, you see the dream, you know.
We all for it, if you go to America, man!
It's like, everyone is, this!
We haven't met, one on one yet.
But it's like, we're always on,
we're on the phone, and, Whatsapp.
I've just always like, loved the fashion thing, you know.
It's like, when I was younger,
my mom would take me to Paris sometimes.
I just always been around that.
The wave for the summer like, you know.
We just kinda, put ourselves in like the happiest places,
you know.
