Click here to check it out on the Jenesis site - it’s a digital magazine, so head to page 55 to read the interview. It’s kinda hard to read, so I’ve uploaded it too, and you can peep it on the links below:

As earlier stated, KanYe is weird.

I’m glad others are starting to notice that TiRon is the truth. And I appreciate the shoutout on the track.

Produced by Jack Sample Pros. Who, by the way, produced this joint as well.
