You talked a little bit about your passion for being a music curator. Who are some artists that you’d like to EP a project for, outside of the Griselda orbit?
I mean, that’s what I do anyway. I curate. So once I stop, I’m about to just focus on that anyway. I had already approached a couple of artists about doing something. I felt like doing something with Jada right now, while all eyes is on Jada, he should let me curate or provide the soundtrack for him to just come body. I feel it’d actually even be his best project.
I done already hit up Raekwon to try to do an old school, grimey Raekwon and Ghostface project, but I curate it. I could do something for Anderson .Paak. Switch it all the way up. Melanie Charles. Somebody that could just sing, got a beautiful voice, and could play instruments. Then I just come and provide the soundtrack and we just cook up and add those crazy MCs on top of this shyt and make it special. I’m about to start doing all of that now. It’s not even about me no more. I don’t have to rhyme to still give you those same results.
How receptive are Jada, Rae, and Ghost to doing those projects?
100% ready. It’s about time. We all grown. We all got businesses and families. We not no spring chickens. We got so much shyt going on. Ever since Jada did the Dipset and Lox
Verzuz, he’s been on fire, doing his appearances and all of that. And you know, Rae and Ghost, they about to go on tour. So they’ve been doing these shows, and they’ve been back in the studio cooking, just getting a feel of shyt. So you never know when it’s going to be, but they want to. As I know that’s what they want to, I can already start cooking, getting beats together. When they’re like, “Yo, I got a two week pocket,” I already got the soundtrack. All they got to do is put the rhymes on.
