A lot of people be like, “Yo, why you doing autotune?”
But I just like to hear that sauce, feel me?
It’s just for the sauce.
Nowadays, young people like to hear that autotune,
that thing that sound good, something that really gets to the ear, feel me?
When I first heard that beat, we was in, I think Denver or Minneapolis somewhere,
and I first heard it from Jahaan, Kehlani’s producer.
I just heard the beat just wave, feel me?
I heard the wave, and I followed up with it.
Kept on just following up with it, I kept on going, “Nah nuh nah nuh naaaah nah,”
and from there I just put words to it.
“Drowning” I ain't gonna lie it took me like, 20 minutes.
I just got this chain when I made that song right there, I just copped this, like the
next day.
It don’t look like it’s as heavy as it is but, this shit like 400 grams right here.
And the Cuban, this like 300 grams right here though.
But I’m feelin’ this, I don’t perform or nothing in this set right here.
I be jumping up and down, this shit just too heavy.
But “bust down” means like you bust it down, like you bust it down.
Let’s say I got a gold Patek on, and it’s no ice on it.
You throw the ice on it, that’s what “bust down” means, you throw the ice on it, bust
it down.
Shottas is one of my favorite movies.
It’s a Jamaican movie.
They started off in Jamaica, came to America, they was back and forth with it.
They was in Miami, they was turnin’ up.
My man Wayne, he was wildin’ in there.
Yeah I was making that song thinking ‘bout the summertime, when that movie came out,
N.W.A.?
‘Cause we all had the “Straight Outta Highbridge” t-shirts.
Highbridge, I feel like we relate to them in a way, like the way we coming up right
now too.
Even it’s not as real as it was with the police and all that, it’s still real.
Like my friends right now, is gone right now ‘cause of that police thing, feel me, like,
for a long time.
But, ain’t nothing we can do about that right now.
My moms, I have to give her that.
That was like, one of the first things I did.
Had to give her that crib.
Even when I win a Grammy, I gotta win another one, I’m not done.
I can’t just have one; can’t have one million, gotta have a billion.
Can’t have one billion, gotta have two billion, feel me?
Keep on stacking up.
My music basically just like, it generated a whole new lane,
for like, everybody around me
Even the people that don’t know me.
Somebody could be from Highbridge and just be a part of something and now you live,
‘cause Highbridge got a name now
Everybody tryna get to the top,
and it's like,
it’s barriers,
and it’s like, everybody just tryna stop you.
So you gotta avoid that, feel me
Move on, I moved on.
And I’m at the top right now.
That was before too, it’s more than 100k now.
Nigga before it was just like, everybody was talking ‘bout the prices on my jewelry.
Now I got a chance to really show ‘em, like Yeah this is 100k, this is 100k, this is 50k,
feel me?
I don’t even know how much this shit is.
