Rocky is one of the coolest dudes. Just one of those things where we instantly clicked. We was in L.A., and I was recording. He was in the studio in the room right next to me. It was at a studio where they got the name on the doors, for whoever’s recording that day. So, I saw, “Oh shit, Rocky in here.” So, I went to say what’s up. It was actually him and Playboi Carti, and we’re just chilling. Then he came in to listen to what I was working on. I was in the studio with Boi-1da. I was just playing him some of my album and we we’re just vibing. Then Boi-1da played that beat and five minutes later, we were just freestyling ideas.

Rocky said that hook, “If I hit it one time I’ma pipe her.” I was like, “Yo! Cut that right now.” Period. Then I just felt like it had a New Orleans bounce to it. I lived in New Orleans, for like six years, so that’s always been a part of me. That’s my second home. Growing up, even in the Bay, during the Cash Money and No Limit era—that music always really resonated in the Bay. There’s always been a connection between Bay Area and New Orleans, culturally. So, that’s where I came on the record.
