But Giane had grander designs, too.
More than a year later, Giane has blown up like a SpaceX rocket.
You and I last spoke a year and a half ago.
Besides, just, like, more shit going on.
Have you picked up any new techniques or influences?
The Jersey club sound on the Keem song was interesting.Its crazy.
Jersey club is starting to catch on and become super-popular.
And Keem just hit me up randomly, I guess, because of the Carti and Rocky song.
He was like, Yo, send me whatever you want.
So I sent him a bunch of different styles and shit.
And then I guess that was the one that he fucked with the most.
Were you surprised that thats the one they decided to go over?Yeah, I really was.
Honestly, I wasnt expecting that.
But that shit was sick.
What is that like?
You send out a bunch of beats to a major artist who Im sure youve dreamed about working with.
It kind of just happened.
It wasnt too crazy.
Youve used Bon Iver as a sample source in the past.
What is it that draws you to his music?I just like his music, honestly.
Honestly, thats the favorite.
I fuck with that shit.
How does it feel to get a placement with Kendrick and Keem?
Honestly, I love the drill scene.
Weve been working with454.
Just people that are down to experiment with their music.
It seems like youre bringing more mainstream rappers and artists into the drill space rather than vice versa.
Not that all the production that youre doing for artists outside of New York is traditional drill.
But would you say thats more of your focus?
I want to just keep everyone guessing, like, what am I going to do next?
Right now, weve been working with this French rapper,Serane.
I think just my individuality.
I dont make shit that ]just sounds like everyone elses shit.
And I think thats what draws people toward me.
We got a bunch of shows with Snowstrippers coming up too.
We got a show in L.A. We got a 454 show coming up in New York at SOBs.
Any other one-off tracks in the works?People are just going to have to see.
