Boyd: People still want the mixtapes from you!
Hoodrich Keem: People still ask me about that. Every week I get at least five or six people who come up to me asking me the same thing. I’ve actually got a new Bodeine Withdrawal mixtape on the way. It’s just for the people! I’ve got exclusives for it, and I also have a new EP, Slurred Words with Babyface Ray—so we are definitely bringing that back for 2021, and I am trying to bring that fun back again. I think everybody got sidetracked on what really got us here, so we are going to go back to the basics.
Boyd: Speaking of Babyface Ray and Slurred Words, talk to us about working with Babyface Ray and how you guys first met.
Hoodrich Keem: People are just seeing the ‘right now stage.’ We have been locked in for I’d say about three or four years. It was really the growing stages. You know how it is when it comes to dealing with an artist—sometimes they are going through their own issues. We came through problems, and now three or four years later everything is elevating and working. It’s really just a blessing from God because the Babyface Ray situation is from the ground up. Slurred Words was something I started in 2020, and I’m finishing it now. I just finished the Unfuckwitable tape and I’ve got two songs on there. It’s just going well!
