It’s crazy “DSM” was the first song I recorded after Suzie’s Funeral, which was my first SoundCloud project. I wasn’t really recording. When I released Suzie’s, I just
dropped it on the internet and went back to school. I was schoolin,g and things were kinda hard. It was just me in school, I didn’t know what to do. I just had little funds
from the little work I was doing. I also had to study so I prayed to God and turned off my phone for two weeks. I just prayed to God for a sign that it was all going to work
out. Two weeks later, I turned on my phone, and I was checking my messages, and I saw one from a verified account. I go to his page and I see that he’s the president of
Drake’s label (Oliver El-Khatib). I was like, “Wow,” and I texted him back. I turned off my phone again because I had to get back to studying, and then, one night, I was
gaming because my girl was with me then. People started reaching out, saying that they are playing my stuff on OVO Radio. They played “Jungle Fever” and “Gangster Fear,” and
that just gave me some insane motivation to start recording again. The first song I recorded properly, coming back in 2017, was “DSM.” We dropped “Jungle Fever” around late
2016 or early 2017, and I went back to uni. I was like, “Fuck, we’re back here.”
