On the album, you got a track related to the "All-White Party" that Michael Rubin threw in the Hamptons. Meek Mill, Jay-Z and Yo Gotti at Michael Rubin's Fanatics Super Bowl Party in Miami in February 2020. We still was trying to get out of the same thing, you know. So no matter what city you in, we still face the same thing. Going back to what I said, having similar backgrounds, all them guys you just named, we all come from the street, where we all face the same struggle at one point or another. When you talk about from a creative standpoint, I think you talking about from a real life standpoint. are there differences there that are fruitful to ideation, or is there common background and that allows for creativity? So that's how we try to have an open table policy.Īnd you got EST Gee from Louisville, Dugg from Detroit. Like you could give me some information that I don't have, that I could use. we have an open table policy, meaning like, just 'cuz you younger don't necessarily mean I have all the right answers. I don't know if the age itself play a part in it, more so than the fact that we can relate and understand each other and respect each other.
You know, I'm an advocate on sharing information, giving out game. And then we went back on lockdown, and then it changed again, you know what I'm saying? So it kinda like went from one thing to another one, but I'm glad it did over time because it ended up scoping into being "CM10: Free Game," which is my overall message that I always say anyway. And then it opened back up, I started going back outside and I changed what it was gonna be. Like I started recording during the pandemic and I was gonna put out one thing. Honestly it changed a couple different times. you dropped "Untrapped." Moving on from that, how did you approach this new body of work? So I think of it like a good warm up record. It's a lot of things I wanted to put out. I don't think I thought that deep about it as like, "This gonna be the lead single." It was more of a message, you know what I'm saying? If you listen to what I'm saying in the record, it's a lot of things I wanted to say.
What was the approach to putting that out first, as a lead single?
