I'm more particular about every line, melody. I try to listen, too, through other people's ears, too. I like this song, but maybe it won't carry across as well - I gotta figure out a different way to say what I want to say.

There's a difference between me recording in Atlanta, where I'm in the midst of all my problems, and recording in L.A. or being on the road, where I can look back at things and have a different perspective. I do most of my writing while I'm away.

Everything either is coming out of it or passing through it, and whether it's the lingo, whether it's the fashion, whether it's the culture, I always feel like Atlanta is the center of everything. I just want to make sure I bring something that's familiar but that's also new from Atlanta.

My rock bottom was somewhere in South Florida. I hadn't eaten for a while; I was super hungry. I remember being by a trash can and seeing someone throw food away. I thought about going over there, opening it up, and eating it.

When I recorded my first line on a song in a studio, I was four. My dad makes music, so he was kind of messing around in his studio, and he had a line for me to say, and I recorded it, and that was at the beginning of one of his songs.

Honestly, when I'm going through the most things is when I'm more engaged in my writing or when I'm more excited to go to the studio, whether it's good or bad. I feel like, when I'm actually going through a lot of stuff, that's the best time to make music.

It's dope to be an artist and to have that wall of separation, but also I feel like social media is there for what it's there for. I have a group chat with about 40 fans who I communicate with on the regular.
