![]() The people who support my movement, they make it all worth it. If you could collaborate with anyone dead or alive who would it be? I’d love to work with Drake. Photographer: Quinn Ashly, I didn’t drop the album on 4/20 because of it being the day of marijuana it was a tribute to Edie Sedgwick because she was born on 4/20. It was just really cool because with the storyline and with what I was doing, it would be perfect to pay homage to her on her birthday. #Phlo finster free#īack then, the movement was really based on free love and coming together and music.īut as far as my thoughts on rebellion and stuff, I just feel that we’re the modernized 60’s. They had great stuff going on like Woodstock, and I feel like our generation is headed that way, you know? With all of this viral stuff that’s going on with breakout artists like Odd Future and Lil B, it’s cool that people aren’t afraid to be themselves. I don’t think it’s a sense of rebellion I think it’s more so people just being who they are and not afraid to be that. I love the fact that they’re just straight up twisted. The things that they say remind me of the thoughts that go on in my head and that I might tweet from time to time. It’s like opening up a new genre of rap and hip-hop.ĭo you feel the same way about Lil B and his movement? Even though they’re rap, they’re being considered as rock and roll.Īnd I just love that they’re really free-spirited and outgoing and they’ve captivated the hipster culture with what they’re doing. Well to jump back to what you were saying about Edie, how did that love for her and her becoming your muse come into play? I actually prefer Casey Veggie over Lil B. ![]() The situation with Edie stems from a relationship I was in with a guy who makes music as well. He was really into Andy Warhol and a lot of classic rock, and his favorite artist was Bob Dylan. It’s a crazy story because Bob Dylan and Edie Sedgwick use to date in the 60’s. It was a relationship that was under wraps because he left her around the time Andy Warhol kicked her out of The Factory. I just felt there was a really big connection between my life and her life, in comparison to the drugs and the social scene where everything was based on pop culture. I feel like her story is one of the most tragic stories that took place in the 60’s during the pop art movement. You mentioned a comparison between Edie’s drug use and yours. Well, I’ve done drugs since I was 16 years old. I was exposed to it when I was younger, and it was a getaway. It was like entering a new world, so with the drug influence I wanted to make music that was kind of psychedelic to elaborate on the drug use I had experienced in my earlier years. I don’t do it now, but when I was younger, I was getting trippy. I’ve experienced cocaine, heroine and ecstasy. What drew you to that lifestyle at the time? I’m kind of open about it because I would really want people in the youth to know how real it is. ![]() I was numbing feelings, I was a very depressed child, I was very manic and the thing with me and drug use came in like a getaway.
