complex interview

How did you guys first link up? Dot, you were in New York, right?

DDG: Yeah. I was already in New York.

KC: Through a mutual friend that I was working with at Abercrombie & Fitch. He was a good friend of Dot’s named Riliwan. Riliwan’s just such a real motherfucker, to this day, that we play him records and get his opinion—because he’s not going to cut us any slack. But, being that our records have been so awesome [Laughs] he barely says anything. We would rap at work, and he would spit, and he was like, “Yo, I know a producer. I want you to meet him.” I was like, “OK,” and he had him come up. We met up, and Dot played me some beats. I remember being like, “OK.” I wasn’t like, blown away [Laughs.].

Yayyy Ril!!! lol

“because God is never cruel, there is a reason for all things. we must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. the terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.” -d.k.
