You've said before you're most interested in music from the '80s and early '90s and how you've tried to apply those sounds to your own music. What about it appeals to you?
It was a bright thing, but it was heavy. The way it made you feel was different. You could tell they were all in that studio and you could feel the energy in it. That's what I get from it. I was just in the studio with Wiz Khalifa for three days, and we know each other, so it's a different vibe than if we emailed back and forth.

Your "Soul Train" interview pointed out that you smile more than the average MC. Is that still the case?
I don't have much to complain about. I smile, I'm happy about the success of my label and excited to see what's next for the future of my company and myself.

Where did the idea for the cover for the Mollywood 2 mixtape come from?
I came up with the actual writing of the [title] in MDMA, because I thought that would be trippy, and the actual picture was chosen by my manager. So everything was dope together, it was a collaborative thing.

The MDMA was real?
Gotta live it man.
