AMIRI shirt and shoes and RHUDE pants.
that, because I got a lot of respect for Pac.
In ‘RAPSTAR’ you say you ‘you make $2,000 a minute’—is that from streams?
That’s with streams, a show, anything. If I do a 50-minute set and I get $2,000 a minute, that’s $100,000. Shit, at the rate this ‘RAP- STAR’ shit is going, it’s gonna be $5,000 a minute.
What you doing with all of this money?
Buying cars. [laughs]
What are your go-to fashion brands?
Off-White and Ralph Lauren. I’m currently working on my own brand, it’s drip. I’m calling it Tremani. I want to launch it this summer, but I’m still working out the kinks. I want to focus on jeans more than anything.
What will make your jeans special?
They’ll be on the urban side, fitted, more affordable—whereas Amiris cost $1,000 a pair. Mine will be more so in the middle where someone can afford it, but they’re still high fashion.
How is your mental health now compared to when you were coming up in Chicago?
I really pay attention to my mental health on a daily basis, which
is why I incorporated saying positive affirmations in my dai- ly regimen. When I’m speaking more positivity onto myself, it makes me have a more level head. Coming from where we come from, we go through and see a lot of shit. We never go to a therapist, we never sit down and talk about our problems. Music’s my only way and outlet talking about them problems, but when I’m not rapping, I still feel anxiety in my down- time. I still battle with that a lot, but I take the necessary precautions to make sure that’s not overwhelming me all day, every day.
What can we expect from your new album, Hall of Fame?
Fire! All fire, 20 thousand million fire emojis. A lot of ver- satility. I got some melodic shit, I got some rap, I got some hard shit in general. I got some in love shit, some islander, reggae music, all types of shit. Hall of Fame means to me taking the next step into my legacy. With my third album, the deeper I get into this music game, I’m solidifying myself as one day I’ma legend. I’m on my way, but I got a lot more to do.
You recently did a feature
for $150,000—what was your feature price starting out?
I did my first ever feature with somebody from D.C. I got
paid $200. The minimum is $200,000 now.
What did it mean to collabo- rate with G Herbo on ‘Lawyer Fees’?
That meant a lot to me. I can vaguely remember—I put a lot of people in my neighborhood onto his music. I used to tell a lot of people he was going to
make it when I was young. I got onto his music about 11 years old, so me transitioning from being a fan of his, or appreciating his shit, to being able to make music with him goes to show how far I came.
How is fatherhood? Your son turns two in July.
Fatherhood’s been treating me well. My son, he’s a bad mother- fucker, though. I definitely appreciate the whole experience of having a little me, for real.
Talk about your international presence. How does it feel to trend in the UK?
It’s definitely a great feeling. I went down there a year or two ago when I did the Die A Legend Tour—I stopped down there. They had told me that my show sold out in minutes, so I can only imagine what it’s going to look like now with me having
my Patience record with KSI, then my own music doing well
out there. My Patience record was a foot in the door with getting more known in the UK.
What can we expect next?
Next is the album.You can expect a lot of shit from this album— it’s going to be a great body of work.
