00:00Dollar Sign, what up?
00:01What's the deal, bro?
00:02What's going on, my G?
00:04How you been?
00:05This shit just fucking...
00:07Man, ups and downs, bro.
00:11Really?
00:12Yeah.
00:13I mean, that's been all 2020, huh?
00:15Yeah, like, starting off with Kobe, you know what I'm saying?
00:19Right.
00:21It was just like a domino effect after that.
00:23Bro, it's like, I was saying this, and I've been seeing tweets about it.
00:27It's like, ain't shit been right since Kobe passed.
00:30Exactly.
00:31And it's heavy.
00:34Like, this whole thing is just heavy.
00:36You know, we lost a lot of soldiers this past year, or this year, I should say.
00:40But, man, I mean, one positive thing we could take away is that ego death, to me, is honestly,
00:48I was just telling Madi and Michelle before they went dark, greatest song I've heard since
00:53All the Lights.
00:55Thank you, bro.
00:57That's big right there.
00:58Over and over.
01:00And just, I'm lost for words about how great this song is.
01:07But please, I'm curious to know what it was like making it with Ye, with FKA Twigs, you
01:13know, Skrillex on there, too.
01:15Yeah.
01:15Man, tell me that process.
01:17The process was crazy, man.
01:19I think I started this, like, 2018.
01:23And I was in this party here in L.A., like a house party, and the homegirls just playing
01:31that house records.
01:33And one of them came on, and I tried to shizam it, and it wouldn't work.
01:37And then I went up to her, I'm like, what is this?
01:38She was like, it's called Soul Track.
01:40So I looked up Soul Track, couldn't find it on the internet, finally found it on YouTube.
01:44And it was some random, I don't know who, like, it was just some, like, random DJ that
01:52dropped it.
01:52I don't know who it is.
01:53I don't want to disrespect anybody by calling random and shit.
01:55But I sampled it, and I made a song to it, and I was scrolling through Instagram, seeing
02:04Ye was wild and walking through Chicago by himself.
02:08And there was this part when he was like, yo, hold up this train going by.
02:12I sampled that.
02:14I went to Chicago, was working on Yon.
02:16He played it for him.
02:16He went crazy, grabbed the mic, started freestyling and beatboxing and just sound effects, you
02:22know, just fucking with the beat.
02:24Because there was no drums or nothing yet.
02:25It was just all the bass line and the song.
02:29And then I ended up linking back up with fucking Sonny Skrillex and like, yo, I need you to
02:39help me finish this joint.
02:40So we finished the beat together and then linked up with Twig.
02:44She added a part, linked up with my homie Serpent with Feet.
02:46He added a part, linked up with my other homie Jarius.
02:48He added some background vocal sparkles on it.
02:52And we finished mixing it.
02:56And here it is.
02:58You know what I'm saying?
02:58It was a long process.
03:00I could have put it out a long time ago, but I wasn't all the way sure about it.
03:07And then we linked back up recently.
03:09Ye actually called like, yo, why the fuck haven't you dropped this song?
03:12This song is so, especially right now, it's like the time.
03:15You know what I'm saying?
03:16I'm like, you're right.
03:17Like, ego depth, like being about, yo, what up, bi?
03:23You know, everybody's going through it right now.
03:25Everybody, it doesn't matter how rich you are, how famous you are.
03:28There's no fucking address you can go to to escape this shit that's going on right now.
03:33So, it was the perfect time for ego depth.
03:35You know what I'm saying?
03:36So, we dropped it.
03:38Thank God.
03:39Y'all loved it.
03:40All the people loving it.
03:41Dude, 45 million plus streams in the first month, my dude.
03:48That's wild.
03:49I mean, it speaks for itself.
03:51I mean, we got a blast.
03:52That was great.
03:53But man, tell me, like, you know, this being a crazy time that we're in, how have you managed to just stay creative?
04:00Like, it's been fucking tough, bro.
04:05Just shit after shit, like we said.
04:08Started with Kobe.
04:09That was, like, also the Grammys.
04:12That was the second Grammys I went to.
04:14The first Grammys I went to was with Kanye.
04:18And we performed.
04:19I didn't, like, show myself, but I was singing background and shit.
04:22And this is my second one.
04:24And this is the time I'm, like, nominated, like, with my name on it.
04:27And not for, like, production or nothing else, but actually as an artist for that song.
04:33Well, me and Skrillex.
04:36What was that shit called?
04:37Midnight Hour.
04:38Yeah.
04:39And this was the day, you know, I was about to go to the Grammys and shit.
04:42And as I'm getting dressed and all that, I'm on Instagram Live.
04:46And then the fans start hitting me with, yo, Kobe died.
04:49And I'm thinking niggas is just, like, because certain times people will just say some wild shit to just get you to say something to them.
04:55So I'm, like, don't play like that.
04:57And then more people started saying it.
04:59And then I asked somebody, and they're, like, nah, this shit is for real.
05:02So, like, the whole Grammys, like, the whole mood, like, I didn't even give a fuck about it no more.
05:06Like, it was, like, what?
05:08And it was at the Staples Center.
05:10How's the Kobe bill?
05:11Yeah, like, I'm, like, fuck this whole year, bro.
05:15Like, then after that, like, my grandmother passed.
05:19My girlfriend's grandmother just passed.
05:21My big homie passed.
05:23My other homie passed, like, that group around the corner from me.
05:26Like, it's just, like, so much shit, bro.
05:28Like, it's been hard.
05:29It's fucked to focus.
05:31But somehow, like, it's still coming out the sky.
05:35That's what I always tell people, like, when they ask, like, how did these songs just happen?
05:38I'll be like, bro, they come out the sky, bro.
05:40So, like, I don't know.
05:41Somebody puts on a beat or I make a beat and then the words just come.
05:45Sometimes I don't like them.
05:46Sometimes I do.
05:47But lately they've just been coming.
05:49And it's been hard, bro.
05:51But I don't know, man.
05:53I guess I'm just blessed.
05:55I'm thankful and grateful, man.
05:56Now, way to push through, man.
05:57I'm looking forward to this album, too.
06:00Dreamhouse.
06:01Now, we know the previous projects have been called Beach House, which is some of the stuff I came up listening to you on, the mixtapes.
06:07So what can you tell me about what Dreamhouse is going to sound like?
06:11Dreamhouse is going to sound like a big film, bro.
06:13Like, fucking, like, like the biggest shit, bro.
06:19Spielberg type shit.
06:21Craziness.
06:22I feel like I'm tapped in all the way to, like, I produce most of it, first of all.
06:28So it's me and my, which used to just be my engineer who, you know, record me all the time.
06:36We started collabing, making hella beats together.
06:39Hi, babe.
06:40And we produced the whole shit.
06:43I got a track from Skrillex.
06:45A couple tracks from Skrillex on there.
06:47Hit Boy.
06:50Who else?
06:54My homie Bongo, by the way.
06:59Shit.

07:00You know, we've been cooking all my favorites and shit.
07:03Of course, you know, I know a lot of artists, so I collabed with a few.

07:10I can't wait for y'all to hear it.
07:12I'm hyped, man.
07:12I can't wait to hear it also.
07:14Now, I know you've been collabing with Kanye a lot lately.
07:16Or, you know, even when Life of Pablo came out, you guys did the Fade record together.
07:23And, well, a bunch of other songs, too.
07:26How do you feel about him running for president?

07:28Yeah, of course I'm voting, man.
07:30And, of course, I'm going to support my bro.
07:33And, you know, we'll be able to get a lot done with the bro in office.
07:38You know what I'm saying?
07:40So, I'm definitely going to support him.
07:42And I think everybody else should, too.

08:09Or no timetable?
08:10Yeah, I got a date.
08:11I haven't announced a date yet.
08:12I'm about to drop another single soon.
08:15You know, I didn't know what to expect from Ego Death.
08:20You know, so I already had a whole other video, a whole other song ready.
08:22But now it's going up.
