I’m just taking the lead and bringing everyone else with me. That’s what this album is - to show that Texas is back. Since I call myself the Trill OG, the first thing I have to do is round up the troops. It’s time for Texas to move back to the top and in order for that to happen, someone has to take charge. What is the goal you want to achieve with “Trill OG”? What we’re trying to do is use brands with bigger pushes in different markets to help them expose their brands to our market and help us by exposing our music to their people. In addition, I designed a Bun B watch with Meister watches, a T-shirt with Amongst Friends and Crooks and Castles, a key chain with GoodWood NYC, an apparel and footwear line with Cadillac and a T-shirt and skateboard with Stevie Williams. I’ve also recently become brand ambassador for Ludacris’ Conjure liquor - they will also buy ads and sponsor parties. You have a lot of interesting partnerships for the promotion of this album.īoost Mobile will help with ad placement and sponsoring parties. For those that know me already, it’s reinforcement. For a person like myself that’s been around so many years, I need to let the new music fans that know me from my last album that there is a history and there is a story behind what I represent. It’s important for me to keep myself in the public eye. You’ve shot a number of videos recently for your own album and for others, including Sean Garrett and Rick Ross. Because of that, this is a really strong album. If we didn’t like something, we scrapped it and tried it again. Note again that these age requirements pertain to the youngest cognac used in the blend and not the oldest. We took up to a year to record this album and allowed everyone working on it to put their best foot forward. Cognacs are classified into a few general categories: VS, or very special, must be aged at least two years VSOP, or very superior old pale, must be aged at least four years and XO, or extra-old, must be aged at least ten years as of 2018. There was no dealing with Pimp C being locked up, or Pimp C passing away. There was no anxiety behind this one, actually. How was recording this album different from your last one, especially considering this is your first solo release since Pimp C’s death? But we’re still making music, going on tour and getting in front of and connecting with the people. But there is a misconception that because we aren’t at the forefront that we aren’t here at all. Texas has had incredible moments in the history of hip-hop. How important is it still to rep your hometown? There are a lot of Texas-bred artists on the album, including Slim Thug, LeToya and Play-N-Skillz. So it made sense to bring in Trey Songz to tie it all together. The song is incredible and the subject matter is something that Pimp C and 2Pac were known for: the ladies. But it recently came out of the archives and I was able to put a new verse on there and some new sounds and voices to really bring new life out of it. We had submitted the music but it wasn’t accepted, for some reason. We had these verses that Pimp and I had already recorded for a 2Pac tribute album. You have a song with 2Pac, Pimp C and Trey Songz on “Trill OG” called “Right Now.” How did that come together?
