That was then, though. Now, the 35-year-old rapper is feeling happy and grateful, thrilled about his return to music and reconnected with the most important figures in his life. On the cusp of releasing his first album in six years, he’s also ready to discuss his darkest moments in detail. The music video for his new single “Do Better” bravely revisits his suicide attempt, and a subsequent clip highlights fans’ comments about how the track positively impacted them.
So when you have an album that you’ve already started at that point and you step away, how tough is it to get back into the groove?was very dark. It was very heavy. As a team, we all agreed I should try to get on some brighter music, give some contrast. But I was in the rabbit hole, if you will, with my theories and philosophy. I was just going too far and was more concerned about the words than actually how the music felt.
What I was talking about there was a flashback of the trials and the tribulations that I’ve been through. “Janky promoters always gave me the runaround.” I’m a big homie now in rap, a vet if you will. I didn’t have Wi-Fi at first. I did pep rallies, I battled in the street. I battled online with Netzero free trials, on dial-up. I did talent shows. I paid to perform. I sold tickets to open up for people. I did the whole dance. I passed out my mixtape for real.
So what do you think is the balance between being curious and skeptical about things and going too far into the rabbit hole like you say? I don’t think I’ve ever heard a conspiracy theorist consider, “What if people actually believe what I’m saying?”
