He talked about his previous history making beats and how he would later establish a home studio after a spur-of-the-moment decision to buy recording equipment instead of a gaming system. The rapper also explained how he developed skills in carpentry and auto-mechanics before establishing relationships with Midwest industry figures like John Monopoly and Fake Shore Drive's Andrew Barber.
