\n You mentioned you wanted your song with UntilJapan<\/a> on here but it didn\u2019t work out. How did you guys connect?
We’ve been cool for years. When Japan was first starting to make music at 17 or so, I used to go get them and we used to go to the studio and shit together. So I’ve been knowing Japan for years. I’m in his first ever video, \u201cOunce<\/a>.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n I love Japan. Every time we go away from each other for a while and work in our own areas, we come back together and just laugh and talk about how good everything going for us. I pulled up on him, like maybe November or December, and we just made that \u201cChemical Garden\u201d song off the strength. He showed me his new album, what he’s working on. He coming crazy, coming different.\n <\/p>\n

\n So then we just made that shit, and we was supposed to make more shit cause I wanted a different vibe for my album. But we just didn\u2019t link up in time, so I was like, \u201cfuck I gotta turn the album in.\u201d But we\u2019re talking right now and we got some surprises on the way.\n <\/p>\n

\n
What was the craziest recording session for Designer Junkie?
The funniest session was the songs I have with Tezzus and diamond*, \u201cNSD\u201d and \u201cYEAAN.\u201d If you know Tezzus, Tezzus is very crazy and upbeat — everywhere you go, he\u2019s the loudest in the room. But he had just came off of being on the road for a month, so he was super tired, and diamond* was sick, like he had the flu.\n <\/p>\n

\n But Tezzus kept calling me and telling me like, \u201cbro, I have to make the album, I have to make this album.\u201d So I’m like, \u201call right, bro, I got a session tonight, you gotta be here if you wanna make the album or you’re not gonna make it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n So he pulled up, he like half sleep, he falling, he can’t stay up for nothing. He damn near — I\u2019ve never seen Tezzus this quiet in my life. Like, it was weird. But he got up and did the verse and just went back and fell back asleep. It was just so crazy to me that he was like, I love you so much, my body is over with, but I had to come do this for you.\n <\/p>\n

\n But the craziest session is definitely \u201cDesigner Junkie\u201d because me and dior [diorvsyou] had just went and spent like\u2026 I don’t even want to say how many thousands we spent at the jeweler, but we went and bought some jewelry and we damn near cried together. We like, \u201cbro I remember we was\u2026 piss poor, like, six months ago.\u201d I’m on the song saying like, \u201coh yeah, I got this on today, I got cuban chain on today, I got pointers on my wrist.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n It was a surreal moment for me cause I’m like, \u201cdamn, it’s like my almost \u2018I made it\u2019 moment.\u201d I don’t feel like I made it yet, but it was my \u201cI made it\u201d moment.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You mentioned you wanted your song with UntilJapan on here but it didn\u2019t work out.
