Joey Badass

You know, to be frank, too, is like the only reason why I feel like I didn't put out more like music in my 20s is because, you know, I came into this game really young.

So I was like, yo, I spent the last 15 years finding myself.

You know what I'm saying?

Trying shit, fucking throwing away pieces that I don't like, you know what I'm saying?

Picking up new things and all that.

So I think that a lot of it was me really trying to understand who I was, who I wanted to be, how I wanted to show up and shit like that.

And me constantly shifting from...

like in six months, right?

In six months, I'll be a whole different person.

Like, ah, that music I just made six months ago, fuck it, throw it all away.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't want it no more.

Like six months ago, I would have loved to put that shit out.

But now, six months later, I'm like, nah, I want to work on a whole new thing.

But what even kept you grounded in that regard?

Because most people that find money and even a tiny bit of fame at 15, 16, 17 typically turn out to be fucking...

insane human beings.

What kept you grounded through that entire thing?

I'm like, damn, am I insane?

No, you're not.
