At SXSW Neffy told me with this project he intends to “show y’all who I am”.
“This is me, this me doing what I wanna do, the type of music I wanna do, the beats I wanna do, the artists I wanna f**k with. I don’t f**k with a lot of people,” he said. “I don’t really mix with a lot of n****z but with this I’m showing people who I mix with, who my friends are. It’s gonna be something great.”
“I really sat in the studio over a 48 hour time period and everybody came and actually sat down with me and worked with me on some Kanye shit, we really locked the studio down,” he went on to say. “I wasn’t answering calls, I wasn’t posting nothing on the Internet. It was just me and my friends, me and my people, it’s really hyphy.”
