I profiled the rap legend Curren$y (@CurrenSy_Spitta) for @stereogum.
We spoke about why video games mean more to working class kids; creating rap songs that feel like the ocean; Soulja Slim; & being a big kid. A special conversation, to be honest. Read:

This been a hard year, but I'm proud I kept going & juggled freelancing w/ being a new dad. Given all the hard work involved, I want to celebrate my best 2024 writing with a thread.
1). For the Guardian I spoke to rap bodyguards about their dangerous jobs: t.co/ziNzTlalMb
