Fresh out of rehab, he’s rapping better than ever and trying to stay away from drugs and alcohol
,” Brown says. “I got to the point where I stopped worrying about the negative and started just looking at all the positives about it.”
Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember much about that session with billy woods, due to being blackout drunk at the time. “I was an alcoholic; I am an alcoholic,” he says. “I was walking around the Lower East Side, stopping at bars, drinking everywhere.… I probably shouldn’t have gone based on where I was at physically. But when you’re blacked-out drunk, you’re trying to do whatever’s fun. I’m like, ‘What? billy woods at the studio? Fucking let’s go over there!’ I went over there and rapped.
At the same time, he was facing financial pressure due to shows getting canceled, including a booked European tour. “I literally was going broke,” he says. “All my savings went bad. My credit card was over. But I was putting it on myself, too. I was doing drugs still. Before I know it, I just sniffed up my house, and I’ve got no money coming in.”
In the past year, he’s been rethinking his early life in Detroit in the Eighties. For the most part, he had a good home life as a kid, with incentives like video games to distract him from going into the streets. Knowing Brown was into rap music, his dad got him a set of turntables to record. “I was raised around low-budget studio equipment,” he says. “I didn’t get to go to a real studio until I turned 18 and I got my own money — and by then, I already knew how to fucking do shit.
He says that he and his siblings were often left unsupervised by their young parents: “In some sense, they still wanted to be kids too. They wanted to be able to live their life. My mom still wanted to go to the nightclub on weekends. So she’d leave us with anybody who will watch us — uncle or somebody, cousin type shit. And that’s where we got into a lot of the bad shit that kids aren’t supposed to be getting into.
