Albums like "hmwyl" and "Sexually Active," along with "Midnight in Malibu," are my go-to listening experiences. Future, with iconic tracks like "Honest," "Monster," and "Codeine Crazy," played a pivotal role in changing the rap landscape, especially during my younger years. Ken Carson, despite not having many songs with beats like his, stands out as one of my main influences. His energetic approach, whether in dark or upbeat songs, always gets me turned up.
