I ain't going to lie. That was my first time ever performing here. I've been here a few times because I just came. But to actually perform here. It's a different feel. And there was people who came outside to see me rap. That shit's hard, man. Like, I ain't never going to be too cool for that.

Making better music has been a real thing in Atlanta, I can definitely say. In a different field, different scenery. And different people. Like, you know what I'm saying?
