I actually say the word “frequency” a lot. But also too, I invest over 50% of my money back into myself, to service as my own label. I’ve done some investments with my money, as I should as an adult. I literally make money to put it right back into the craft of what I’m doing. ĪllHipHop: How is independent grind though? You probably invest a lot of your own time, money, all that.

Was that taking a lot of your time? I’m not just throwing out music randomly anymore. I’m more excited than ever because this is the first time I’m really channeling in my artistry. We should chop all those titles off and just say “dropped new music.” Music is going to define it, not the EP or the album or the snippet.

Or is it an EP?
