Who was the tour with? I went on Nobody Safe Tour, at the end. Then I went on tour. When I was on tour, it was thot life. Then I moved in with Casino for a little bit. That was after I met Future. Sleeping in the studio? Nah, in the trap. I was living in there, literally. There's a video of me on YouTube when I was little, when I was in sixth grade, playing the saxophone. Were you in the marching band when you were in school? I was in middle school, ’cause in middle school I was playing for the high school. The whole percussion: bass drum, timpani, quads. ![]() I start with the piano.ĭo you play any other instruments besides piano? Alto sax, clarinet, marimba, and xylophone. I'm just now getting out the hood, so sharing my money-ain't that time. I don't like using samples ’cause I don't like sharing my money. What's the process of making a beat for you? Everything original. So I stole her boyfriend's phone, and I used to make beats on it. I had stole this girl's phone, but then that one broke. ![]() You got your start on Pocketband, right? Pocketband. You've been making beats since the ninth grade. Whatever he don't use, that's what I give to other artists. He usually get most of the beats-that's who I'm signed to. ![]() It's your job to go into the studio every day and make music for Freebandz artists? Yeah. Well, it ain't my job. What does it mean to be an in-house producer for Freebandz? I make all them n***as' beats, and more. Make a n***a feel like his trunk's shaking. Sometimes I be behind him with the headphones, making a beat. I don't really like using headphones. I like the studio. He tells me, "Load up that beat," and then we go through beats.Īre you in the room with him when he's doing vocals? I be in and out. When you are working with Future, what is it like? Are you guys in the studio together? I cook up. What can you tell me about the songs that didn't make the album? The motherfuckers hard. But it was just the songs that fit right. I was going to do half the album at first. They took off three, and they left me with seven. But by the time I hit Atlanta, they told me I had 10. Do you remember when the songs that made it to this album were recorded? Well, before I left L.A., I had four songs on the album. I know you guys have hundreds of songs together. He tried to dap me up, and then I just woke up with my hand out, trying to dap him up. Future, he was trying to dap me up, but I was asleep and I had my hoodie on. I was sitting on the couch, and I was asleep 'cause they was recording some of my beats. We went to 11th Street Studios. I ain't know Future was there, I ain't even know it was Future's session. So what was the path from Casino to actually meeting Future? It was quick. How did you meet Casino in the first place? My n***a X, and free my n***a Rell, and Grandsun, we was at the trap and shit, and then we went to the other trap. ![]() Heads bobbed to every track, the crowd not missing a beat.First of all, congratulations on your work on The WIZRD. Polow made sure to bring Jacob to the front, instructing the DJ to cycle through “Super Gremlin,” Wait for U” and the Atlanta native’s untitled, bass-heavy track. The night before the BMI Awards, Jacob and Polow reconnected at a pre-show mixer sponsored by the latter’s YoCo Vodka. “You don’t find many producers who can have hits just as big as one another - top 100s, crossover records, urban, they basically checked off all the boxes - yet they’re so different from one another.” Although songs like “Pimpin’ All Over the World” and “Throw Some Ds” earned Polow respect in hip-hop circles, it was tracks like “Buttons,” “London Bridge” and “Forever” that really turned heads. “He just has a humble spirit,” Polow said in a phone interview. The two met in 2018 and Polow could immediately tell Jacob was “student” of the game. Jacob’s humble beginnings and willingness to try new things are what endeared him to another Atlanta-based producer in Polow Da Don.
