He moved back to Chicago in 2013 because he saw what he had left behind. "I saw all these people in 2010 that were doing their thing, like Drea with Pyyramids, Chance [the Rapper] free-styling outside Columbia College and Vic Mensa coming through the studio," he recalled. Things were different when he came back: "Three years later, Chance was dropping 'Acid Rap,' and Classick Studios was in this big, new building. I was like, 'This is exactly what I thought Chicago was going to do.' I had to stay. I want this at my home in St. Louis." But, as he says, "there's only so much that you can do in St. Louis. It's fun, but there's no infrastructure music-wise. If you want to do something like this, it's really hard."
