If you had a year with no responsibilities, how would you spend it?
You don’t even understand what that means to me. I got a kid now, so its nothing but responsibilities 24/7. But a year with no responsibilities? I’m a menace. I’d be everywhere. No responsibility? That means no feelings attached. I’m doing everything. Everything is getting done. Imma make some fire ass music too.
How would you describe success?
I feel like that’s also personal. You know? Depending on the person. The same thing with finding happiness or doing what makes you happy. Success will come when you’re doing the stuff that makes you happy because you’ll either become successful off of it or you’ll find that you don’t need success to feel how you want to feel in life.
What motivates you to get up in the morning?
In high school, I was always the early bird. Waking up mad early. Even on the weekends. Once I got to college, I never woke up early again. Never ever again. When I came home from school the same shit was happening to me. I still couldn’t wake up. Now, it’s like I be waking up damn near 7/8 o’clock every day now. My kid. My daughter. When I wake up, I’m working on music and I do what I want to do. I know that if I put my whole heart and energy behind it, that shits gonna be perfect.
You’re building your dream playground for adults. What’s one thing that has to be in it?
You know what imma say. I need the ganja plant. That’s the only thing I need in my playground. Ganja plant and a sofa that feels like a bed. But, it’s not really a bed so I can’t stay there forever. But, definitely a nice sized sofa to lay out there. Maybe a big tv/movie screen and a ganja plant. Fresh off the pickings.
If you could describe yourself as a pair of shoes, which would you choose and why?
I knew this question was coming, but I still wasn’t prepared. My favorite pair of sneakers that I ever got my hands on was a pair of Margielas. Them shits felt like clouds when you really got comfortable in them. So, I’d definitely say a pair of low top Margielas. The Future low top future Margielas. I love those sneakers. Those are my favorite.
If there was one thing you’d want people to know about you, what would it be?
Straight up: Marcus Gold. They got to remember that name. It’s gonna mean a lot. It’s never gonna stop. I feel like I don’t have to say much about it when I say that name. Its gonna come to a point where you not gonna have to even know what’s going on, but you’ll know the vibe.
What do you think it means to live a good life?
To live a good life. That’s all personal. But honestly, whatever you do to make yourself happy. Can’t beat your own happiness. If you could find a way to make yourself happy, you’re living the best life that you could be living. Some people don’t get that chance to make themselves happy. You could be in jail or worse. So, being happy is the best way to live. It’s hard to live out here.
What activities make you lose track of time?
So outside of smoking? Making music. Writing lyrics. I’m probably writing lyrics and smoking at the same time. I’ll start and I won’t even look at the clock but 4 hours go by. I’m like “Yo, I started this shit at 9. I was supposed to go to bed at midnight. Its 2 o’clock.” But yeah. Writing lyrics.
What food best describes you?
Yo, anything buffalo chicken. I could just be saying that because I just had some buffalo chicken pizza. Anything buffalo chicken. That shit is fire. Whoever made buffalo sauce, they deserve top for life.
Describe your perfect day.
Describe my perfect day. Really my perfect day: I wake up and I’m doing something productive. Something towards making music, brainstorming ideas, getting other content together, stuff like that. I’d start my morning off like that and then maybe work out a little bit. Get my juices flowing. Then, burn a spliff and eat some food. Then, I’d be chilling for real. For the rest of the day. See my daughter and chill. Everything gravy.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and how would you use it?
That’s also hard for me. My favorite superhero ever is Batman. He ain’t have no superpower. His superpower was being rich. He was a rich white man. I don’t even feel like being a rich black man is the same power as being a rich white man. Damn.
Oh! My favorite movie: Jumper. I’d straight do that shit all day. Jump from place to place. He would just disappear and show up wherever he wanted if he thought about it. He could be in the middle of a bank, on top of a pyramid, on top of a mountain. That shit crazy. My superpower would be jumping. Jumper or Batman.
What emotion do you experience the most?
I be sad as fuck. The situation I’m in is because of my own doing. That’s why I smoke a lot of weed: so I don’t be mad at myself. When you’re mad at yourself and something else happens, you just blow up for no reason. That’s why I stress finding your own happiness and doing what makes you happy. A lot of times I be like “Damn nigga. You did this shit to yourself. Now you tryna get it right.” But outside of that, I would say happiness though. My number one feeling.
What was your happiest moment in this past year?
I got two of them. One is my daughter’s first birthday. We didn’t get to do nothing crazy because of the whole Covid shit going on, but she’s one. Like, when did she get the time to even turn one? Getting mad big and shit. But, that and I dropped my first song this year. It’s on Soundcloud. I dropped it March 21st. The gods be talking to you. They definitely be talking to me in my life. Showing me signs and everything I need to be doing. Love that shit.
If you could travel anywhere in the world (all expenses paid) for twenty-four hours, where would you go?
Africa. What city is that in Egypt? Cairo? Cairo. Seeing the pyramids in Egypt. Seeing the Giza pyramid. All of that. I’d be there right now for twenty-four hours. I wouldn’t even leave the pyramid. I’d just go in. It’d be like Manifest: I’d come back five years later like “what happened?”
