Brent Faiyaz:
I really like doing what I want to do. And then I like being able to say no to things I don't want to do. The main thing that comes with giving up a part of your independence is not being able to say no. It really doesn't get any deeper than that for me. So I think I just want to inspire people to not be okay with being told what to do. You can't grow like that. How are you going to be constant? How are you going to grow up when mothers constantly say no, no, stay down? So before people decide that they want to do business and they want to, they want to take large amounts of money and they want to collaborate with this person, that person, I want people to really sit down and think, you feel me, are they going to be okay with not being able to? control the shit they want to do? I was making money selling beats, like in high school, in high school. But that's how I got my friends when I was young. Like it's like growing mothers come into the house and like to take hits from me and shit. And my parents are like, who are these grown adults that come to the house and like what's going on? Like, bro, people like my music.
