I still keep my sound involved and it’s kind of tying these two things together. ‘Just Last Week’ wasn’t me trying to venture off and just work with Future because he was poppin.’ I was like, ‘I need Future on this song!’ Or A$AP Ferg, ‘I need A$AP on this song,’ so I’m gonna reach out to ‘em. It was one of those things where the ‘My Trunk’ record, I thought it’d be perfect for Trinidad. All the songs that I do, normally if I’m creating, I hear the person that I want to put on the record before I reach out to them. Are you trying to reach some new fans with more mainstream visibility? You’ve worked with Trinidad James recently. You dropped a couple big records for Week of K.R.I.T.’ including ‘Lac Lac’ with A$AP Ferg and ‘New Agenda’ with Rick Ross. If I had the opportunity to create a planet-what would a car be called on this planet? What would a slab…how would comin’ down, like if I couldn’t say “comin’ down,” what else would I say as far as riding clean is concerned? All these things are what I’m putting into this album, so I think people are gonna be shocked with how far I can actually take it. I am really challenging myself to create something completely different, something new, and improving upon what I’ve already done.Ĭadillactica is all about creating a planet. Not sticking to the same terminology, not using the same snare or kick drum. I’ve finally figured out a clever way of being different with that. Obviously, people love my music for the honesty and creating great car music that gets you from point A to point B. Just trying to be as creative as possible, for one. What are some of the experiences you’re talking about on the new album?Īw man, I can’t really talk to you about that. I think people are really gonna get that feel with Cadillactica.

I’ve had the opportunity to be around so many different things that inspire me and I just want to rap about ‘em. The fact that I’ve been on tour for so long, I’ve done so many shows. How will this album differ from the music you’ve done in the past? I’m excited for people to hear the project. Just to sit down and be an artist as far as being able to rap and create in that mind state without having to make the beat and mix the record down was dope/Ĭoi Leray's 'Trendsetter' Raised The Bar This New Music Fridayįor Cadillactica, I’m working with DJ Dahi, Jim Jonsin, 9th Wonder, and I’ve been getting it in with this producer Will Power. After doing Live From The Underground, which was a milestone to be able to produce my first major label album, I did King Remembered In Time, and at that point I really wanted to work with other producers.
