One of the pillars of my design aesthetic is showing the process. I'm at a point in my career where I'm interested in seeing the consistency across different projects. The cover reminds me of your work with brands - making OFF-WHITE exist right next to the thing we know already. Uzi hit me up and was like, I need you to creative direct my project in the final hours. Obviously I've done a bunch in the past and I've recently been focusing on developing things outside of music, but I've always been feeling about getting back into it.
Now I've made a conscious effort to get back into doing music projects. Whether we were in conversation or not, we just kept reconnecting and it's literally like effortless. He's been cool since that moment and he's had an appreciation for how we met. Rapping in his style comes naturally to him, and he's just been a genuine dude. He’s devoid of too many references, he's in his own world. There's always a new genre, and we've seen obviously rap evolve to what it is now, and we've seen different influences have their evolution on artists. How did you get to working on his album cover? He respected what we had done and we went out with them all night and his crew of kids, and I've known him ever since.
At the time we were playing trap music, we were DJing and I was like, I don't even want to go on after this kid. You know how you go to cities and you hear a local rapper? Definitively this is the first time I found some kid and thought he's going to be huge.
