What was the delay with this project? It was essentially your first album, right?
Well this is a teaser. This is the appetizer that feels like a meal. I think we all know a lot of artists go through their own journeys with their music and the industry. What happened with me, back in '07, Kanye [West] had a meeting with the president of Sony Urban, which was about to be dissolved, and he was able to get his artists out of there. Some of the guys went and signed deals at other places, but I wasn’t interested in jumping into another deal because I saw that things change so quickly. So I took my time with it in terms of wanting the right situation and being able to own all of my intellectual property. I put out “Everybody” on iTunes and self-released a video for it, and it got a really great response. So through that I was able to secure an EP deal with Entertainment One. In addition to the mixtape, I’ve got a Web series, a DVD and a full album also titled C.O.L.O.U.R.S. in the works. The Web series is a video series with some documentary elements that will really lay out the meaning of C.O.L.O.U.R.S., (Cool Outrageous Lovers Of Uniquely Raw Style). Each one has a meaning, even “Of.” I didn’t just use it for the O. And I’ll be talking to other people about what the colours mean to them, as well. There will also be an apparel component as well so stay tuned for that.
And what about the proper C.O.L.O.U.R.S. album? Where are you with that?
I’ve got a lot of the songs done. I’m still taking my time with the mix and I’ve got some features to do. Gotta make sure the whole picture is well painted. It’s all in the mix.
I saw you at the G.O.O.D. Music showcase at South by Southwest (SXSW). There’s been a lot of turnover at G.O.O.D. What’s up with the team?
Well, I think any conglomerate has its growing pains and that sort of thing. Quite frankly, it definitely needed some reshuffling and new direction. Because I think G.O.O.D. represents a really good idea, which is getting out our dreams. And if you think about anyone who’s been a part of that clan, that’s been their story. It’s just the way it is. When artists run labels, it’s really difficult to jump in and out of being an executive, A&R and a producer and then at the same time be working on your own art. You look at a different regimes, it’s just very difficult to manage artists and be an artist yourself. It has to be up to the artists to really make things happen on their own. Kanye said on MTV years ago that I was the kind of artist who would have his own branches, and I know I’ve definitely done that.
