What’s your favorite song on Lady Like: The Boss Tape
I have two favorites. My main favorite if we’re talking about lyricism alone is “Lemon Pepper Wet.” The second half of that song is probably one of my favorite verses that I’ve ever written. There are complexities, nuances and [double] entendres that I don’t know if anybody really sat down to catch. I’m really talking real spicy on that track.
Then there is “Lisa’s Story,” it’s a baby that I cultivated [during] the pandemic that I never thought would go as big as it is.
Why do you take this lyricism so seriously?
I think that music is the closest thing to religion without a systematic element. I think it governs our temperament and governs what we do day-to-day. If you can really master painting pictures in people’s heads or invoking these feelings, it really leaves an indelible mark on your listeners and consumers. It allows them to feel you out a little bit and kind of internalize some things within themselves as well. I think that happens through lyricism.
Do you feel any pressure coming from the Bronx, the home of hip-hop?
No, we birthed it, so I expect nothing less. I’m of the caliber of the KRS Ones and the Big Puns of the world, so I’m ready.
