00:00Dollar Sign, what up?

00:01What's the deal, bro?

00:02What's going on, my G?

00:04How you been?

00:05This shit just fucking...

00:07Man, ups and downs, bro.

00:11Really?

00:12Yeah.

00:13I mean, that's been all 2020, huh?

00:15Yeah, like, starting off with Kobe, you know what I'm saying?

00:19Right.

00:21It was just like a domino effect after that.

00:23Bro, it's like, I was saying this, and I've been seeing tweets about it.

00:27It's like, ain't shit been right since Kobe passed.

00:30Exactly.

00:31And it's heavy.

00:34Like, this whole thing is just heavy.

00:36You know, we lost a lot of soldiers this past year, or this year, I should say.

00:40But, man, I mean, one positive thing we could take away is that ego death, to me, is honestly,

00:48I was just telling Madi and Michelle before they went dark, greatest song I've heard since

00:53All the Lights.

00:55Thank you, bro.

00:57That's big right there.

00:58Over and over.

01:00And just, I'm lost for words about how great this song is.

01:07But please, I'm curious to know what it was like making it with Ye, with FKA Twigs, you

01:13know, Skrillex on there, too.

01:15Yeah.

01:15Man, tell me that process.

01:17The process was crazy, man.

01:19I think I started this, like, 2018.

01:23And I was in this party here in L.A., like a house party, and the homegirls just playing

01:31that house records.

01:33And one of them came on, and I tried to shizam it, and it wouldn't work.

01:37And then I went up to her, I'm like, what is this?

01:38She was like, it's called Soul Track.

01:40So I looked up Soul Track, couldn't find it on the internet, finally found it on YouTube.

01:44And it was some random, I don't know who, like, it was just some, like, random DJ that

01:52dropped it.

01:52I don't know who it is.

01:53I don't want to disrespect anybody by calling random and shit.

01:55But I sampled it, and I made a song to it, and I was scrolling through Instagram, seeing

02:04Ye was wild and walking through Chicago by himself.

02:08And there was this part when he was like, yo, hold up this train going by.

02:12I sampled that.

02:14I went to Chicago, was working on Yon.

02:16He played it for him.

02:16He went crazy, grabbed the mic, started freestyling and beatboxing and just sound effects, you

02:22know, just fucking with the beat.

02:24Because there was no drums or nothing yet.

02:25It was just all the bass line and the song.

02:29And then I ended up linking back up with fucking Sonny Skrillex and like, yo, I need you to

02:39help me finish this joint.

02:40So we finished the beat together and then linked up with Twig.

02:44She added a part, linked up with my homie Serpent with Feet.

02:46He added a part, linked up with my other homie Jarius.

02:48He added some background vocal sparkles on it.

02:52And we finished mixing it.

02:56And here it is.

02:58You know what I'm saying?

02:58It was a long process.

03:00I could have put it out a long time ago, but I wasn't all the way sure about it.

03:07And then we linked back up recently.

03:09Ye actually called like, yo, why the fuck haven't you dropped this song?

03:12This song is so, especially right now, it's like the time.

03:15You know what I'm saying?

03:16I'm like, you're right.

03:17Like, ego depth, like being about, yo, what up, bi?

03:23You know, everybody's going through it right now.

03:25Everybody, it doesn't matter how rich you are, how famous you are.

03:28There's no fucking address you can go to to escape this shit that's going on right now.

03:33So, it was the perfect time for ego depth.

03:35You know what I'm saying?

03:36So, we dropped it.

03:38Thank God.

03:39Y'all loved it.

03:40All the people loving it.

03:41Dude, 45 million plus streams in the first month, my dude.

03:48That's wild.

03:49I mean, it speaks for itself.

03:51I mean, we got a blast.

03:52That was great.

03:53But man, tell me, like, you know, this being a crazy time that we're in, how have you managed to just stay creative?

04:00Like, it's been fucking tough, bro.

04:05Just shit after shit, like we said.

04:08Started with Kobe.

04:09That was, like, also the Grammys.

04:12That was the second Grammys I went to.

04:14The first Grammys I went to was with Kanye.

04:18And we performed.

04:19I didn't, like, show myself, but I was singing background and shit.

04:22And this is my second one.

04:24And this is the time I'm, like, nominated, like, with my name on it.

04:27And not for, like, production or nothing else, but actually as an artist for that song.

04:33Well, me and Skrillex.

04:36What was that shit called?

04:37Midnight Hour.

04:38Yeah.

04:39And this was the day, you know, I was about to go to the Grammys and shit.

04:42And as I'm getting dressed and all that, I'm on Instagram Live.

04:46And then the fans start hitting me with, yo, Kobe died.

04:49And I'm thinking niggas is just, like, because certain times people will just say some wild shit to just get you to say something to them.

04:55So I'm, like, don't play like that.

04:57And then more people started saying it.

04:59And then I asked somebody, and they're, like, nah, this shit is for real.

05:02So, like, the whole Grammys, like, the whole mood, like, I didn't even give a fuck about it no more.

05:06Like, it was, like, what?

05:08And it was at the Staples Center.

05:10How's the Kobe bill?

05:11Yeah, like, I'm, like, fuck this whole year, bro.

05:15Like, then after that, like, my grandmother passed.

05:19My girlfriend's grandmother just passed.

05:21My big homie passed.

05:23My other homie passed, like, that group around the corner from me.

05:26Like, it's just, like, so much shit, bro.

05:28Like, it's been hard.

05:29It's fucked to focus.

05:31But somehow, like, it's still coming out the sky.

05:35That's what I always tell people, like, when they ask, like, how did these songs just happen?

05:38I'll be like, bro, they come out the sky, bro.

05:40So, like, I don't know.

05:41Somebody puts on a beat or I make a beat and then the words just come.

05:45Sometimes I don't like them.

05:46Sometimes I do.

05:47But lately they've just been coming.

05:49And it's been hard, bro.

05:51But I don't know, man.

05:53I guess I'm just blessed.

05:55I'm thankful and grateful, man.

05:56Now, way to push through, man.

05:57I'm looking forward to this album, too.

06:00Dreamhouse.

06:01Now, we know the previous projects have been called Beach House, which is some of the stuff I came up listening to you on, the mixtapes.

06:07So what can you tell me about what Dreamhouse is going to sound like?

06:11Dreamhouse is going to sound like a big film, bro.

06:13Like, fucking, like, like the biggest shit, bro.

06:19Spielberg type shit.

06:21Craziness.

06:22I feel like I'm tapped in all the way to, like, I produce most of it, first of all.

06:28So it's me and my, which used to just be my engineer who, you know, record me all the time.

06:36We started collabing, making hella beats together.

06:39Hi, babe.

06:40And we produced the whole shit.

06:43I got a track from Skrillex.

06:45A couple tracks from Skrillex on there.
