First time I met Drake was 2012 at a studio in Toronto.
I would like to say that OVO, me being on OVO, they kinda protect me from the industry, so I'm not around it. I'm not around it unless I choose to be, or unless I ask to be.
I was like, 'Okay, cool, I'ma learn how to produce my own beats,' and I stuck to it. Now, it's hard to even take a beat from anyone else.
I'll flip samples where one's a completely dark song and the next one is a complete sexual song. People think my whole thing is a dark thing, but I don't.
Everyone should know yourself. It can be an insult, but know yourself is just it. It's exactly what it sounds like.
I'm not Drake's sidekick.
I love music but I never went to a concert in my life. The first time I went to a concert I performed on a stage with Drake.
I don't know how to interact with fans, man.
I want people to understand why I'm not 'P1' or 'P2.'
I treat my vocals as an instrument.
I'll take a shot of vodka if I want it to be raspy... I tell whoever's in the studio to get boiling hot water, like super boiling, that they're afraid to give it to me. I put it exactly on the back of my tongue to shock my body. That cleans it up.
I'm huge on visuals. I love visuals.
I'm glad I'm with OVO; it's a dream come true.
I made my entire first tape using Beats headphones - the studio headphones and halfway through the second one, because I finally started making a home studio. But I record and make all my beats with the Beats headphones.
I was one of those guys who was, I guess, socially popular in school.
