Its been a lil hard at times, I obviously miss Chicago and family and working on other stuff, but there truly is no joy like making a project."

The Chicago rapper added, "Somehow I always forget that i’m so, so good at this. And every night i surprise myself again. July is gonna be bittersweet because as much as i can’t wait to be done, the process is the best part!"

I’ve been really happy the past few weeks. My wife gave me the go ahead to put everything else on hold and really go to work on my debut album. Its been a lil hard at times, I obviously miss Chicago and family and working on other stuff, but there truly is no joy like making a project. Somehow I always forget that i’m so, so good at this. And every night i surprise myself again. July is gonna be bittersweet because as much as i can’t wait to be done, the process is the best part! Yall should thank Kirsten cause she dont gotta share me wit NOBODY. But she knows what i do and is handling this pregnancy and our family with so much grace. Babe I have to appreciate u supporting me all these years and I swear i can’t wait to get juked on to these new songs.
