Problems Money Can Buy Codes
Kind of hard to talk about this one. What didn’t inspire me? My moms was going through chemo again, I was on the outs of being out of my job, my relationship was failing, and I couldn’t get the project (at the time) where I wanted it to me. I recorded “Problems” with hundreds of takes, 4 different versions, 3 different beats. It wasn’t until I got Wrath’s beat in a beat pack where it finally worked out. I heard it in the whip outside of my house and cried. Went to the studio the next day.At the time, I didn’t really have much of anyone to talk to about all of these piled up life issues, so going into the studio and recording the song was really therapeutic. Having a version of the song that I was in love with was a big relief. It meant a lot.BONUS: “Codes” – Shout out to Keyah. I had a whole song written for her beat, but didn’t have enough time/money to make it happen. It was so amazing I wanted to put it on the album anyway and highlight it. I always loved instrumental interludes on my projects and this was the only one for starshipJERICHO.
