BAY SWAG HAS CARVED OUT HIS OWN LANE WITH HIS SEXY DRILL MUSIC
How did you get your start in the music industry? Tell us your story.
Growing up, I was always around lots of music because of my parents. My mom always played lots of music in the car all day and around the house. My dad, on the other hand, was running with a group called A Tribe Called Quest. My dad had me with him all the time. We used to rap songs together while I was still in my car seat.
I was also around my uncle Slow from Slowbucks. He had a clothing line that was really big and still is to this day. At the time, they had a studio where all the artists were coming to. Being around that environment just gave me the drive to want to do it because I was always around it. One day, I just told myself I’m gonna use my resources and take advantage, and now here I am today!
What was it like growing up in Queens, NY?
Growing up in Queens was cool. I had real fun growing up. It’s like any other place: there are bad crowds and good ones, and you just have to know how to manage through it. I was always around my older cousins and older people growing up.
How does your style of “sexy drill” differ from what people might be used to hearing?
It differs because I come at it in my own way. Me and the bros all approach it our own way, and that’s what I love about it. If you really listen, none of us sound the same. There are different kinds of sexy drill also.
Many people’s introduction to you outside of the NYC music scene was from the hit song “Fisherrr” with Cash Cobain, along with the remix from Ice Spice. Talk to us about the process of creating this song and what it was like working with both of them.
The process was great. It was like a normal studio day for us, actually. You know, lots of pretty women, great vibes, and a good time. I actually came to the studio earlier than Cash that day. He was late to his session. So before he came, I had made a song which was a whole different vibe from what “Fisherrr” was. It was more slow. Then Cash came and pulled up the beat, and the rest is history.
Talk to us about your new song “Worldwide Sniper.” What was the inspiration behind it?
When I recorded that song, I was actually in Cash’s house. I had my engineer come over there because he didn’t feel like recording me. I really just wanted the world to know that I’m worldwide when it comes to females. I have them all over. Everything I said in that song was true!
Who are a few artists you’d like to work with next?
Future, Huncho, Youngboy, Loe Shimmy and SZA.
