What can we expect from your Awesome EP?
The Awesome EP is a mainstream introduction to my music. To a wider audience that hasn’t been on the Internet for the past five years, I been releasing mixtapes. I got Pusha T featured on it, and I worked with my frequent collaborator Seven on it. It’s kind of a mixture of records from my last year’s mixtape, Zero Heroes and a few records I was making for my debut album, The Kid With The Green Backpack. So it’s a great introduction to what my debut album is going into.
Do you feel any pressure to follow what other people are doing to get commercial success?
Not exactly because I know who I am as a person, and I write my own lyrics, I pick out my own beats, I come up with my own concepts. So me knowing who I am a person, even if it’s the most poppiest song ever, it’s gonna still be the essence of XV, and what I stand for. There’s nothing that’s gonna ever make me say something that I don’t believe in.
