joey bada$$ on working with xxxtentacion

“X was special, he reminded me a lot of Steez. I remember going to Miami and working with him at his crib. Super humble, super competitive too, I haven’t felt that competitive nature with another artist since Steez. We just started surfing on YouTube for beats, we found the beat for Infinity and we literally just made that sh*t, right then and there. The imprint that he left in that short amount of time is going to influence the next generation. My generation was able to influence his, and he was able to influence the next one. He was a special artist because he had so much range, to me that’s what makes an artist special, like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, X. I miss his heart, I miss his spirit, that was my dawg, RIP to X. I know him and Steez is like kicking it, that makes me happy.”
