Name credit goes to the Wu-Tang Name Generator (the same one that named Donald Glover “Childish Gambino)...
There's a lot of concern about fame and popularity within consumer culture in Superflat, and I believe these are often domains of extreme levels of toxic objectification...
I manically decided to go to McDonalds, went on Instagram live and was just screaming the idea over and over, got back home still live and recorded it all to a click track, no beat, then made the beat after. A crazy moment that everyone from Anthony Fantano, to T-Pain, to Knxwledge reacted to and enjoyed thoroughly...
Ngủ ngày ngay ngày tận thế (we shorthand it as N4T2) is sort of the culmination of what was the past 3 years (2017-2020) because of how we record our work...

When making my channel my main goal was and still is to make music fun. And I like to think I’m working towards that with every video...
I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...
It does now. I meditate every day just to not feel insane. The practice leaks into everything I do. With writing or recording, I do let thoughts take me for a ride...
The term rockstar is thrown around a lot, but in every sense she embodies that term in every conceivable metric...
I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. And maybe I will make that apple pie after all...
