''And so I started making beats when I was young, maybe I was 14, 15, just making beats on my computer. And low key in the beginning, it was inspired by that whole wave of even Smokey, DJ Yung Vamp. I didn't make that especially, but I liked that whole scene. Everything that was Memphis Revivalism related. But it sort of didn't really go anywhere for me.
I was just doing this in the middle of nowhere. I was doing other stuff like paintings and selling clothes. Then I started producing more for local artists, more hood stuff, just street rappers, gangsters. I just started making beats more seriously and when we made "Gout" which, I guess, we'll go into more details later about that, it just made me take it more seriously. Now I'm a professional producer, this is how I make my money, this is how I live.''
