A few months ago, rising rapper Desiigner dropped off his debut single, “Panda.” After seeing the single hit viral status, the buzzing track eventually landed him a spot on Kanye’s GOOD Music roster, even making an appearance on TLOP.
In a recent interview with Complex, the Brooklyn rapper talks about twice on Yeezy’s newly released The Life of Pablo album, what New York sound means to him, his comparisons to Future and much more.
What’s your response to people who say you sound like Future?
God gave him a blessing, but he gave me a blessing too. I ain’t gonna doubt the man’s music. He make beautiful music too. Music is made every day. Big ups to him, big ups to Future. I actually like Future’s music. I like his music, you feel me. I’m not a hater or a critic on him, you know, I do me. God bless him, God bless me.
What are you learning about the business from the G.O.O.D. team?
They’re definitely crazy motivators. They definitely a good camp. I talk to Kanye. I talked to a couple of them. I talked to Push. I haven’t really got to talk to Big Sean or them. They say, “We’re not rappers, we’re artists.” And I’m big on that. We’re artists, and we’re not just rappers. And that’s what I look at. I don’t look at it like as I’m just this dude with lyrics and I can just put songs on—no, I’m an artist. Everything I think about I want it to be creative, make me feel some type of emotion.
