” I got turned onto Channel Tres through a mutual friend of ours and I got turned onto him before I realized what he looked like, where he was from or what he was about. I just loved the music. So I was a fan of the music for a few months and everything. Then when I found out he was Compton and the West Coast, I was like that’s crazy. When I met him, his vibe was so up-tempo and bright. He came into the studio at midnight like ‘let’s do 10 songs, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ So I felt like he had a lot of energy.”
