This is one of the first beats i got from my boy syksense and i wrote the hook immediatley and put it to the side for a long time. We me and teddy started working on the EP this is one joint i showed him and he wanted to work on it. So I fisinished writing it and he added some stuff to the beat and...
One inspiration is definitely asap rocky the hook i wanted to be very ambient and physcadellic thats one thing i definitely get from rockys music. And writing wise i drew from the story of king midas. A cartoon i found on youtube.
It was fun man this is one of the songs i worked on in Schoolboys backyard. Me and teddy had a bunch of sessions back there while he was on blankface tour. We were over there every chance we got fighting through his dogs to get to the studio.
