What Should Everyone Expect From Your Upcoming Album ‘The Plan’ ?

Why Did You Name Your Album ‘The Plan‘ ?
The reason why I named it The Plan because I feel like this album overall explains what my plan is and that is to take care of my family, the struggle, the grind that I’m going through to make it to this point. Just being myself and sticking to being who I am and going through different relationships that I’ve had + different situations in the industry and things like that.

I have Lil Yachty, I got Chris Brown, YG & YBN Nahmir on a record, then I have Lil baby on the remix and then my brother Bill$.
How Was It Working With Chris Brown?
Chris is the homie he’s mad cool. It was dope, I always wanted a song with him and I feel like me and him in a visual dancing is gonna be crazy.
What Makes Your Personal Style Unique?
I think my style is super different. I’m definitely a sneaker-head. (laughs) I’m definitely inspired by the 90s. I like to mix a little bit of vintage with high-fashion brands. I think I have the more tom-boy swag to me but, I can spice it up sometimes as well.
Did You Have Any Style Influences Growing Up?
I think Rihanna was my Number one. Then I follow a couple of girls that are just super fly on instagram (laughs).
How Many Pairs Of Sneakers Do You Own?
I would say like 60-70.
What Was Your Latest Sneaker Cop?
My Air Jordan 11’s. Foot Locker hooked me up with them and they launched on the 23rd apart of the Week Of Greatness.
What is Your Favorite Sneaker Of All-Time?
I think the Air Jordan 1s are my favorite. Can’t go wrong with a Jordan 1. I probably got all the colors. I think the Bred’s are my favorite, you can throw those on with anything.
