Pulling inspiration from the likes of Prince and OutKast’s Stankonia / The Love Below, he also highlighted newer voices, such as Pluto and Bunna B, suggesting the album reflects a broader and more eclectic creative space.
"The biggest inspiration for me was Fousheé… Prince, I’ve been having 'If I Was Your Girlfriend' on repeat for 2-3 months," he said. "For this tail end part of my project, this girl PLUTO from Atlanta. She’s been inspiring me, and this other girl BunnaB."
He continued: "I’m touching [Outkast’s] Stankonia and The Love Below more than anything else. I would say Top made compromises for the creativity on this one, so I appreciate it."

Starting on Saturday (May 2), the pop-up shop will be open at Complex NY (620 Broadway) from 11 a.m.…
