I took a lot of life lessons about being a man from watching his dad and learning from his dad and getting scolded by his dad.
It was just a really fucking intense time for us as young men, but we definitely had a strong role model. I envied that. It was really nice to be in such a loving home.
It was dope. How did that decision go? Was there any push and pull? DDG: Real shit, it was very random. My parents are very kind people, but we had never done anything like that prior.
DDG: Yeah. He used to come over all the time from Staten Island. I had a little studio in the basement. Dot came downstairs, like, 'Yo, my parents want to talk to you. So I went up to his parents room, and his dad was like, 'I think about it like this, if it was my son, what would I want another family to do for my son? DDG: The grind was real then.
Nobody had any money and you were still making time to get to the studio and get these songs done. So my dad would see that. They were used to his personality by then. KC: [ Laughs. My parents, they are very strict, so Scott would come and be all joking and stuff.
It was just funny to see them interact. KC: It definitely could be a TV show. It was like Full House , the Nigerian version [ all laugh ]. It was mad kids, but it was dope. I remember the day they asked me to stay over. How did that come about exactly? And while he was mixing a vocal I had just laid down, I was talking to him about my circumstance. I had just gotten evicted—on New Years.
My homeboy had, like, a small little basement space in his home in Staten Island, over on West Brighton. He had let me stay there for a while, and I was sleeping on the floor. I got evicted on New Years Eve, right before I was about to go out. I was talking to O-Dot about this, and they were saying that I had to be out by January 31st—the day after my fucking birthday.
Is it cool if I stay here? What happened? You guys have been productive, staying out of trouble, and you guys are working towards something. And you can still work with Dipo. You guys can still work on your music.
Like, really? It was really, really an amazing thing. It was a blessing just to have them in my life and for them to want to do that for me. Like I said, me and Dot only knew each other for seven months. How did you guys first link up?
Dot, you were in New York, right? I was already in New York. But, being that our records have been so awesome [ Laughs ] he barely says anything.
I want you to meet him. We met up, and Dot played me some beats. KC: He had just started producing at the time. The first one was dope. We just started banging out records. We had chemistry instantly. When I would hum some shit, he would play it back proper— just right.
It was literally [ snaps fingers ] that fast. As soon as we got in the studio, we were out of here. KC: Dot is a songwriter. So I knew if we just stuck it out and worked together more and more, we would end up building something that was bigger than the both of us. DDG: Yeah, exactly. I will say that—especially when I finally linked up with Cudi—his creativity is fucking out of here.
He was always opening my mind to more eclectic-style stuff. This could work. Do you guys feel pressure to impress each other? DDG: Yeah, because DDG: Not even. You know what it is, though. He knows what he wants. We were just two dudes in the studio trying to make jams since we met. I also feel pressure to impress my friends and to impress Dot. What am I going to do?
DDG: Exactly. KC: Yeah. You definitely want to impress your partner. I would have never thought of that. Holy shit. Rock and roll has been low-key. Hip-hop is pop now.
Think outside the box, man. See where my mind is at. This is what it needs to be. When did you guys think this album was a reality?
