More breakout videos from this creator.
Yes, yes, my people,
This is Yussef Dayes.
We're here with PUMA and
Hypebeast for the Suede Sessions
with the young king here
Saiming in the building.
Welcome, man.
Happy to be here.
So I saw the Asian linen video,
and I see the big fro,
which kind of reminded me of
a likkle young buck
yeah back in the day.
Hearing you flow over the rhythms,
and it kind of had some
jazz influences, and the drums
and it automatically made me
kind of see that,
yeah man, it's like, he could
flow over one of my rhythms.
getting ideas in my head.
I think that like
rapping sometimes is like
following the fills on drums.
The way that I write is
definitely heavily influenced
by grime.
You can't listen to my music
it's from London.
How do you put your
It usually starts with
the top half.
Unless the bottoms are
it's gonna start with the top.
Then I'll find bottoms to
pick the shoes last.
Like if I'm leaving my house
Ima look through all the shoes
then ima pick a pair of shoes.
Some of the videos that
I've been putting out
have been like very intentional
and we're working with
some really talented directors.
Sometimes with the internet
it's like, you make something
you just put it out there and then
people really connect with it.
I think with Asian Linen
we shot the video at a cypher
I put it on Instagram
and my friend put like some
text on it.
Got some help
translating some Cantonese text
to put on there
put some graphics on it
and then it's just like
the algorithm just picked it up
and then... yeah.
Just nice to hear again
like I was saying
you flowing, but over
some rhythms that not many
people flow over like that.
I was waiting for the
right time for us to
kind of plot some moves but uhm
glad it kind of came together.
Nice bro, yes thank you
yeah wicked man.
