00:54I forgot how I even heard that beat.

00:57Man, I don't know,

00:57but it came on, and I just,

01:00you know, I felt the vibe

01:01to the beat at first.

01:02Yeah, it just woke me up,

01:03so I went in there,

01:05because, you know, I don't write.

01:06I just go in there and just,

01:07you know, go off the top.

01:08So when I said that,

01:10I was like, gotta look at it at me like,

01:11bae, you da biggest.

01:13I just ended up calling it that.

01:16You've had a crazy run of hits this year.

01:18Get in with me, Mr. Podscraper.

01:21Shake that ass.

01:21Too slippery.

01:22Sports center.

01:23I could keep going.

01:24Did any of those surprise you

01:25by how big they became?

01:27All of them, to be real.

01:28Yeah.

01:35How big Get In With Me was, kind of.

01:37That was the most shocking one,

01:38because it was like,

01:39I put that song to the side,

01:41like, nah, I don't even like it like that.

01:43That was the most shocking song right there.

01:45When did it click for you

01:46that that song was really that big?

01:48I was shooting the video to Finesse,

01:50and I had just dropped the freestyle to it.

01:53So when I was seeing the numbers

01:54going up on Instagram,

01:55I was like, oh.

01:56But I'm shooting a video,

01:57so I can't really watch it, too.

01:59But every time I check it,

02:00it's going crazy and crazy.

02:02So I'm like, man,

02:03they really like that song, for real.

02:05You know, you have so many hits this year.

02:07Can you break down what your formula is

02:09for creating a hit song?

02:10You know, the first thing to making a song,

02:13you got to really think about, like,

02:15you know, what everybody else want to hear.

02:18It's not really what you want to hear.

02:21It's what you want to hear at the same time,

02:22but, you know,

02:23it's 90% what they want to hear,

02:25for real, for real.

02:26Nowadays, it's about being catchy.

02:29You know what I'm saying?

02:29You're going to say something that

02:31they can repeat,

02:32they can remember.

02:34You know what I'm saying?

02:34That's how you catch.

02:35When you're listening to different beats,

02:37what do you listen for?

02:38What catches your attention?

02:39It's more like the bass,

02:41and it's more like the, you know,

02:44the tune and the vibe that they got to it,

02:46and the tempo.

02:48Sometimes beats can be too fast.

02:50It's like, nah, that's too fast.

02:51But you got to have that right tempo,

02:53like, make you feel like you in the club,

02:56when the beat got,

02:57you feel like you in the club

02:58before you even put any type of lyrics on it.

03:01That's what you need to be, yeah.

03:03You know, you've worked with

03:04La Tyler,

03:05Ciara,

03:06Glorilla,

03:07so many amazing artists this year.

04:00It's 2025.

04:01We making boss movies, you know what I mean?

04:03For real.

04:04Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

04:05I gotta ask, you know,

04:07when it comes to making an album

04:08versus making a mixtape,

04:09do you have a different kind of pressure in the studio?

04:12Or is it just,

04:12I'm going to make the best piece

04:13that I can make regardless?

04:14Yeah, I'm just going to make what I make.

04:16I don't think about all that.

04:17I just make what I make.

04:19And I'll be turned either way.

04:21In the studio,

04:22I don't know how to,

04:23you feel me?

04:24Yeah.

04:24Anytime I go,

04:25I'm just trying to turn up every time.

04:27I'm trying to make a hit every time I touch the studio.

04:29You put out so much music this year.

04:31Where do you get your work ethic from?

04:32Remembering where you was,

04:34you know what I'm saying?

04:34Just remembering what it was.

04:36Like, it was nothing,

04:39you know what I'm saying?

04:40And when I was grounding,

04:42I was crawling at something

04:43that was basically impossible to see.

04:46Like, I didn't even see it.

04:48So when it actually happens,

04:49like, nah, I can't go back.

04:51I got mama to feed,

04:53daddy to feed,

04:53you know what I'm saying?

04:54For real.

04:54Yeah.

04:55So ain't no going back.

04:56So the title of the album

04:57pulls some inspiration from Steph Curry.

05:00Is he in your all-time top five

05:02for basketball players?

05:03For sure.

05:03For sure?

05:04Who else is in that top five?

05:12to announce the album,

05:13and they really talked you up.

05:14Like, you were a hot new recruit.

05:15It was a really great sports

05:16and hip-hop crossover moment.

05:18How did that come together?

05:19I don't know, bro.

05:20Just probably my music

05:21and just how I just reference sports

05:23and all that, you know, all the time.

05:26Plus me, like,

05:27I used to play basketball, so...

05:28What position?

05:29Point guard.

05:32I kind of felt like it just go hand-to-hand,

05:35just how I'm talking,

05:36like, you know what I'm saying?

05:36Like, when you snapping the streets,

05:38when you get a new chain,

05:39new car, new anything,

05:41that's like dunking.

05:42You're dunking on somebody for real.
