The
American Rapper on Starboy, Kaash Paige, Burna Boy – and how Nipsey Hussle’s Double Up keeps the hustling spirit going
I’ve been loving quarantine. Everything has been super-chilled; I’ve spent a lot of time by myself which has made me a more creative person. I’ve been recording and fixing-up songs, perfecting them for [album release] Pretty Bitch
music. For Memorial Day weekend I was able to chill with my family. What I miss most is eating at restaurants. I also love to skateboard. I used to be in a skate group in high school called the Mighties, and my name was Mighty Saweetie. I haven’t been skateboarding for a long time, so me and my homegirls are going to a skatepark once we’re out.
Since the
protests began, I’ve been doing my research and I’m starting up my own foundation. It’s time for me to make my own difference in the world, especially in the black community. It’s hard seeing the racist protests in response to Black Lives Matter. The fact that people are peacefully protesting, and there is this much anger in response – that, for me, is a problem. All we are protesting for is equality, justice, our lives.
