We got to kick it then and I just was like, 'Yo. We need to get it in my n--a. We need some rap s-t. I know you could spit.' He was like, 'Pssh. I was thinking the same thing.' We were able to vibe out for the weekend in Miami. We had a few private events. I went and kicked it with him and we just been chopping it up every other day." (Billboard)
