“My
Mind”
out
now,
what’s
your
relationship
with
Queen
Naija?
That’s
my
sister.
It’s
executive
produced
by
OG
Parker
and
Hitmaka.
We
did
that
joint
in
Miami.
Queen
Naija,
that’s
my
sister.
I
flew
back
to
Atlanta,
she
did
the
verse.
Now
it’s
out.
It’s
a
vibe.
How’d
the
song
come
about?
One
of
my
first
billboard
plaques
was
Queen
Naija
on
the
Misunderstood
album.
“Bitter”
with
Latto,
that
was
the
first
joint
I
did.
I
ended
doubling
back,
hitting
her
like
“yo
I
want
to
get
you
on
a
project
for
sure.”
I
sent
there
“My
Mind.”
That
night,
she
said,
‘let’s
go
to
the
studio.
She
did
it,
she
showed
love.
It’s
a
hit
too.
Did
you
make
it
with
her
in
mind?
I
did
my
verse
and
the
hook,
I
took
it
out
there
and
we
wrote
her
verse
together.
Me
and
her.
What
inspired
the
record?
It’s
just
a
vibe.
A
lot
of
girls,
they
look
at
themselves.
These
days,
they
want
to
be
#2.
A
lot
of
girls
are
good
with
being
a
side
chick,
but
this
song
is
not.
This
is
for
the
1’s.
Who’s
good
with
being
the
side
chick?!
There’s
a
lot.
Listen,
they
accepting
it
out
here
these
days.
This
song
is
representation
that
you
can
be
the
#1.
You
don’t
gotta
be
the
side.
Best
memory
from
the
video
shoot?
It
was
a
lot
of
good
memories
from
the
video
shoot,
I’m
not
gonna
lie.
But
when
Queen
came
out
in
her
robot-looking
at
outfit,
oh
she
went
all
the
way.
Shout
out
to
Queen
for
that,
it
was
a
moment.
What
was
the
vibe
in
the
studio
in
Miami?
It
was
a
movie.
Every
time
me
and
Hitmaka
get
together,
it’s
a
vibe
man.
It’s
a
party.
Anytime
I’m
with
him,
his
main
thing
is
“yo,
if
we
ain’t
having
fun,
why
we
here?’
Every
hit
we
made
together,
it’s
same
exact
process
forreal.
What’s
your
favorite
hit
you
made
with
Hitmaka?
Whew.
I
love
“Baddest”
[by
Yung
Bleu
and
Chris
Brown],
not
gonna
lie.
But
honestly,
co-producing
Tink’s
album.
That
was
the
most
immersive
project
that
we
worked
on
together,
because
we
built
it
together
from
the
ground
up.
And
Tink
from
the
city,
so
I’ma
show
love.
We
worked
on
some
big
stuff,
but
that’s
the
one
that’s
close
to
my
heart
forreal.
What
do
you
want
the
fans
to
take
away
from
“My
Mind”?
I
want
girls
to
know
they
the
one,
not
the
two.
it’s
okay
to
be
the
one.
It’s
a
new
bop.
It’s
a
new
vibe,
bringing
R&B.
It’s
in
me.
Is
it
hard
being
taken
seriously
as
an
artist,
after
so
many
songwriting
successes?
Honestly
nah,
because
I’ve
always
had
the
vision
of
being
an
artist.
A
big
part
of
me
transitioning,
getting
into
my
artist
bag
was
artists
telling
me
“yo,
why
are
you
not
doing
your
own
project?”
That
makes
the
transition
that
much
easier,
when
you
got
people
that
are
successful
artists
championing
you.
A
Boogie,
Toosii
saying
“Bro,
why
are
you
doing
this
yourself?”
So
the
motivation
is
there.
What
else
can
we
look
forward
to?
My
EP
just
dropped,
it’s
called
Before
Ebony.
“My
Mind”
is
on
it,
“Just
Like
Me”
is
on
there.
I
got
Sukihana
on
the
project,
so
it’s
a
vibe.
Ebony
is
the
name
of
the
project
coming
top
of
the
year.
It’s
a
taste.
It’s
like
the
cheddar
bay
biscuit,
that
red
lobster.
The
appetizer.
Who’s
Ebony?
Ebony
is
the
opposite
of
me,
contrast
of
who
I
am.
