The difference, even with Electric Highway, is that you’re hearing my direct perspective on that sound. Can we expect to hear that alternative sound on future projects? I read that you’re good friends with Good Charlotte & Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. Let’s jump into another musical genre for a minute-one that you’re familiar with. With this project being the short term peak of what people see thus far with me, its just important to really explain this timeframe and how I got there in a way so other people can know what they got to go through to get to the same spot. The more that I progress, I feel like that motivates whoever’s in tune with me to continue to do the same thing. They’ve support me to this point, and with that they kind of live through my situation in a way. My fan base was always different-it was always a little bit left. I did three tours before I signed with MMG and just different things like that. It’s super Important to me because I have a lot of fans under the radar that supported me to get to this point. Thinking about your entire catalogue, and the fact that this is your first project after being signed to MMG, how important is this mixtape on a musical scale? For me, my approach is a little different, but at the same time I want people to see it the same way. I liked the way that he really painted the picture, whether it was on a boss level or whether it was on a street level. That something that I learned from Ross, even before I met him-just me being a fan of his music. The more that I get to see, the more I am able to explain it in a way my listeners can visualize the same thing. That come with experience and actually living. The way that he explains stuff and paints a picture, when he raps you can really see what he’s talking about. Have they influenced you rap style at all? But now, their listeners are able to get my message and my fans look into their directions more too. Meek, he raps totally different than me-and same thing with Ross. As a team, we can share those fan bases and really connect to the whole world. I think that’s kind of the formula for MMG is, allowing us to be us. Take people like Eminem: they was rapping about stuff that was obviously not quote-on-quote socially acceptable at the time, but because it was so real tons of people were able to be moved by it. I think that’s what makes music even what it is-when you can be a hundred. He don’t really try and force us to do anything that’s not natural to us as men. I think what makes MMG such a dope team is the fact that Ross really lets people do their own thing. What’s the biggest difference between being a solo artist & doing things your own way compared to being a team player on the Maybach squad? When I came up with the title, I wanted it to be something that I can create out of a new space versus it being based from something that I already shot.īy the way, congratulations on signing to MMG. With this one I wanted to add a futuristic vibe, but I wanted it to be more influenced by my life versus it being taken directly from a movie. My last project was basically based off Back To The Future, titled Driving 88. The music that I make, the way I move, is tailored to the people that can get that kind of lifestyle and have the same aspirations as me. It kind of symbolize the progression that I’m trying to have and just the constant movement of being on my own path & on my own road. That’s really doesn’t apply to me cause I don’t really have a smart car or nothing, but I just like the futuristic feel of the title. It’s like, if you have a smart car, you’re able to charge it up on the side of the highway instead of having to go into a gas station or whatever. Rockie Fresh: Basically how I came up with Electric Highway is because it’s this new thing that the government implemented in certain cities. VIBE: Can you break down Electric Highway and how it relates to the whole entire project?
