I said when I get a hit song I’ma rap.įofana: So what made you get into production? I interviewed Fridayy a few months ago and he said something like “it’s easier to get into the industry as a producer.” Do you agree?ĪTL Jacob: Depends. Just for believing in it before anybody else did.Ī post shared by ATL Jacob So what made you transition from producing to rapping?ĪTL Jacob: I wouldn’t call it a transition, it’s more going back to my roots since I started off rapping. He was like, “For real?” So then he heard it and he was like, “Man, this s**t hard.” He gave me verses and all. I f**k with Sean because when we linked up it was on some producing stuff but then I told him I rap. Not even talking about music, we just talk about life. The songs will be produced by some of my favorite producers and myself.įofana: How was your experience working with Big Sean on this album?ĪTL Jacob: Sean down to earth. I got some more surprise guests on there too.įofana: Now that you establish yourself as a rapper, will the album consist of you rapping or will it just be songs you’ve produced?ĪTL Jacob: I can say these releases will be me showcasing myself as an artist. I’m taking my time though.ĪTL Jacob: Big Sean. The hard part is figuring out which side of me I want to give the people first. Not slowly, but it’s in the making.įofana: How has the journey been working on your debut album?ĪTL Jacob: Your first album is always the hardest because it’s your entire life up until that point. But if I see him, you know it’s cool.įofana: You recently announced that you were working on an album? Do you have a release date yet?ĪTL Jacob: Nah, it’s slowly in the making. I sat back, be quiet and learned.ĪTL Jacob: Yeah, I ain’t got no problem with him. I mean I started off with A-list artists so its normal now.įofana: How was it like working with Kanye?ĪTL Jacob: It was creative and motivational. Like “how can I expand?” Go bigger, go beyond. How does that make you feel?ĪTL Jacob: Um, I feel like I need to do more. You’re like 24 now, right? And you’ve been working with all these A-list celebrities. Sometimes it’s 30, sometimes it’s 50.įofana: You also produce for Kodak Black, Lil Baby, Kanye West, Lil Durk, Young Thug.
It’s whatever he comfortable with paying me, that’s what I take. How much does he pay you now?ĪTL Jacob: You know, Future man, he set the tone at 10, so we work out good stuff. I met Casino, his brother, and he introduced us.įofana: In a recent interview with AllHipHop, you mentioned that he started you off at 10k a beat. I was just making beats to work my way up to getting to meet him. People from your hood going to different hoods so I was just around his people. When you from the hood, everybody come into your hood. How old were you when you got your first shot in the industry?ĪTL Jacob: I was 18 years old when I started working with Future. Maybe I’ll win this time.įofana: I don’t doubt it. We just be chilling.įofana: And you were also nominated for two Grammys this year.ĪTL Jacob: Yeah, this is my sixth time now.
It was “Super Gremlin,” and “Right On.”įofana: How is it like working with Future?ĪTL Jacob: That’s my bro so it’s normal. I had seven songs charting from that album.

A few months back, Billboard announced that you hit No. It’s beautiful.ĪTL Jacob: You should go to the mall on Old National. I be up at 5:00 AM.ĪTL Jacob: For real? If I get up at five, I’ll be asleep by 12.įofana: So what part of ATL did you grow up in?ĪTL Jacob: South Side, you know, uh, like College Park area.ĪTL Jacob: Basically yeah.
