I went to Vegas and blew 20 racks on bottles, and then, yeah, bottles.
It's funny because when you get the bottles, the girls are always there, they bring the
girls to you, and once the bottles are empty, the girls disappear.
And we're like, damn, we had plans with these girls tonight, and they're not there anymore.
Originally, I put out Sin City on my 2015 EP, TieDye, Pt. 1.
It went viral at the end of 2017.
Then it went down a little bit.
And then it went viral again just three months ago.
My sister was in town, and they're playing it on TikTok over and over, and I'm thinking
she's just doing it because she's at my house.
It was her first time visiting, I had just got this big ass house in Calabasas.
After she leaves, the week after, it just hit.
And everybody on my Instagram was like, dude you're trending on Apple Music, you're trending
on Spotify Viral.
And I was like, "What?"
So I had to get Ty Dolla Sign on the remix.
That was a must.
Ty did the verse the same day that we did Jaded for Drake.
He was like, "Bro, your fans keep on asking me to get on this song, to remix this song
of yours."
And I'm like, "What?"
I'm like, "Really?"
And he's like, "Yeah.
Sin City."
When you're a song writer, not a lot of people want you to succeed as an artist.
But I think him extending an olive branch and was like, here, I'm not goin to dim your
shine, that was some dope ass shit.
It's also Sin City wasn't made for me.
Sin City isn't a fun place to be.
If you drink, you get hungover, you feel like shit on the way back to LA.
Or you lose money at the casino.
I definitely have lost a lot of money at the casino.
So Right Now is my company.
Right Now Sound.
And that's kinda like my production tag, or my writing tag.
Anytime you hear a song and they go "Right Now" or "Right Now Sound" then you know that's
me.
You know I wrote it, or I did something with it.
Everything for me is like right now.
I need- I'm impatient as hell.
I need it right now.
I need it done right now.
The money, I need it right now.
Fame, I need it right now.
I need everything right now, because that window of opportunity, once you have it, and
you knock down that door, that door closes again, so I need to push through and collect
everything I can off the table, and then be gone.
You see girls when they go to the club, and they're doing all that shit to impress.
Men, we dress to impress the same way too, but at home, I just want you to take all that
shit off, and I just want to see who you are, just by yourself.
Everything that was going through my mind at that time was just normal shit that everybody
goes through.
Being happy, sad, trying to make it as an artist, trying to make it as a songwriter,
not having the amount of money that you want, not being where you want to be in life.
Those thoughts in my mind, they're consuming me, so I just need to hear you, because you
cut through the bullshit.
I met some pretty cool people from Houston that made me fall in love with the Houston
culture.
Around the same time that I wrote Sin City, I wrote Risk for Chris Brown.
That's tipping on four fours and all that, swingers and all that other shit incorporated
into it.
I've always loved that aspect of it.
When I say coming down, it's Houston slang.
They be like coming down.
That's like the climax
It's like, as soon as you feel that, shit I'm shooting.
I don't give a fuck.
Girls get calls too.
I don't want your friend to be calling you about her day, making you feel shitty because
you're not with her, or they had a shitty day.
You not having a shitty day.
You're about to have an awesome next two hours.
You on the clock.
You got to turn the phone off.
You got to press ignore, all that shit.
"Ride it like you stole it," like, you hot.
The police are after you, you got to put pedal to the fucking floor, and you the owner tonight.
I have this other song where I say.
"Ride it like a Jeep with the doors off."
Nobody knows what that means, but that means you fucking to the wall.
You riding that shit like you can't ride it no more, like that Nas X song.
I get all kinds of hate from different places, girls, Instagram, fake Instagram accounts,
fake texts.
Photoshop is a motherfucker, the shit I've been implicated in sometimes.
this looks real, but it's not real."
I think every guy has had that lie, "Oh, this shit ain't real," but in my case.
It was one time where somebody tried to catch me like that.
Whoever I was with at the time was like, "Whoa, what color shirt was he wearing today?"
They couldn't answer the question.
I was like, "There you go."
They mad that I'm exclusive, and they can be mad.
I'm happy.
I think at the end of the day, everybody wants to know that you are somebody's, not property
or anything, you belong to somebody else.
Everybody wants to know that you got a home in somebody's heart.
"Tie these restraints," it's kind of like, "Yo, when your back's against the wall, who
do you call?”
After we've done all this crazy shit that we've done as the song describes, who that
dude?
I'm that dude.
My favorite TikTok video right now is, there's two guys from Las Vegas, and it's funny that
they're from Las Vegas, but they're dancing ... I like funny animal videos.
And they're kind of dancing like snakes in it, and so that's kind of cool to me.
