Over 4 million plays in 3 months, meet the artist who became the most random success in rap! Post Malone sat down with Fader in a recent trip to NYC.
How did “White Iverson” come together? I wrote it two days before I recorded it. Me and 1st [of FKi] made the the beat and then I was writing the words to the beat at my house. I didn’t even know if I was going to record. It was like 7AM and everybody was fixin to go to bed and I was fixin to record it by myself, so Raye Rich [of FKi] was teaching me how to work Logic for a second to get the main idea. Then he heard it and he’s like, ‘We need to record it.’ It was morning and, I don’t know, it was a perfect culmination of everything.
Did you imagine it’d get so much attention? No way. It was the first song I ever put out really.
Why L.A.? I don’t know. I wasn’t getting anywhere in Texas at all. I went to school for six months and wasn’t feeling the vibe.
