"Pull Up" on YouTube | |
With the drill-type [track] "Pull Up", I just wanted to make a [track] where I could just mean face the whole time while listening to it. I heard the beat and I was like, "Ah, Imma go in. Imma come with some next level flow that people just wouldn't expect." And then I hit up Jme and I [asked him], "What do you think?" [Jme] was gassed and he jumped on [the track] real quick and that was that.
