WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.770 Oh shit, my nose is itching. 2 00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:04.301 My barber's meant to come to my house every Tuesday, yeah? 3 00:00:04.301 --> 00:00:05.790 He never came yesterday. 4 00:00:05.790 --> 00:00:07.170 Luckily I looked in the mirror 5 00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:09.360 and I just, you can't see my mustache, can you? 6 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.440 It's fine, yeah. 7 00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:11.583 What's good, GQ? 8 00:00:11.583 --> 00:00:14.082 It's M Huncho and these are my ten essentials. 9 00:00:14.082 --> 00:00:16.650 [upbeat electronic music] 10 00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:17.483 Polaroid of my daughter. 11 00:00:17.483 --> 00:00:20.340 My daughter has seen me with the mask and yep, 12 00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:21.600 she does know who I am. 13 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.027 She'll just look at me and just laugh. 14 00:00:23.027 --> 00:00:25.350 Makes me feel like a punk sometimes but. 15 00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:27.720 On my last album called "Chasing Euphoria," 16 00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:29.940 the last song is called "Sincerely Dad." 17 00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:34.320 I made that song way before I even knew she existed, 18 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.600 where I had named her in this song, 19 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.000 I'm just super vulnerable and just telling her 20 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.160 about things to do and things not to do 21 00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:42.540 and things to be aware of. 22 00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:43.881 Moments later, that's it, 23 00:00:43.881 --> 00:00:45.990 I found out that I'm gonna have a daughter 24 00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:48.120 and I manifested it, to be honest. 25 00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.080 Yeah, I need to be careful 26 00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:50.905 with what I manifest in the future. 27 00:00:50.905 --> 00:00:53.894 The next item I would like to speak about, 28 00:00:53.894 --> 00:00:57.339 this hard drive contains the second coming 29 00:00:57.339 --> 00:01:01.590 to my classic UK mixtape called "Utopia." 30 00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:05.340 This hard drive only has three copies in total. 31 00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.971 One is here, one is with someone else, 32 00:01:07.971 --> 00:01:11.400 and the other one is with another someone else. 33 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.680 When it gets connected to laptops, 34 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.603 the laptop has to be offline, 35 00:01:15.603 --> 00:01:19.740 no wifi, no links are getting sent. 36 00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:20.970 No one ain't getting nothing. 37 00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:22.860 If you get the password wrong two times, 38 00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:24.060 everything gets deleted. 39 00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:25.350 If I get it wrong, 40 00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:27.270 we're gonna have to skip the second "Utopia" 41 00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:28.977 and go straight to "Utopia 3." 42 00:01:28.977 --> 00:01:32.250 The next item I would like to talk about is my medicine bag. 43 00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:34.140 It's got all my daily vitamins 44 00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:36.840 and helps me with my creativity process. 45 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.750 Back in the day, coming up 48 hours and stuff, 46 00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:41.040 I was kind of in a place 47 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.620 where I was constantly around weed. 48 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.090 Oh shit. 49 00:01:45.090 --> 00:01:47.100 I was constantly around medicine. 50 00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:48.720 I was involved in a lifestyle 51 00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:51.209 where I was essentially a pharmacist 52 00:01:51.209 --> 00:01:56.209 and I'm not encouraging anyone to do it, but I smoke gas. 53 00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:59.190 I take my medicine and I'm in the zone. 54 00:01:59.190 --> 00:02:00.420 I'm working for hours. 55 00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:02.820 I'm going song after song after song. 56 00:02:02.820 --> 00:02:04.530 I don't believe that you necessarily need 57 00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:06.210 to depend on it to create anything, 58 00:02:06.210 --> 00:02:09.000 because the same way I've created with medicine, 59 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.440 I've created without medicine 60 00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:12.870 I've been taking medicine for so many years, 61 00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:14.253 I'm a functioning addict. 62 00:02:15.767 --> 00:02:18.510 My next essentials are my watches. 63 00:02:18.510 --> 00:02:21.167 It's a mint face Rolex Datejust 64 00:02:21.167 --> 00:02:23.820 and I just like the simplicity of it. 65 00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:26.460 I don't think that a watch has to be expensive 66 00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:27.840 for it to be beautiful. 67 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.910 This is so simple, but it's so nice. 68 00:02:29.910 --> 00:02:32.550 This one here for retail was under 10K 69 00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:34.440 but I don't remember how much I bought it for. 70 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:35.670 I know the watches that I buy 71 00:02:35.670 --> 00:02:37.110 will always appreciate in value 72 00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:38.880 because I have the right people around me 73 00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:40.230 to give me the right advice. 74 00:02:40.230 --> 00:02:42.750 Second one is the one I'm wearing. 75 00:02:42.750 --> 00:02:46.050 Two-tone gold and stainless steel with a black face. 76 00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:47.550 I've liked the Submariner. 77 00:02:47.550 --> 00:02:49.170 I feel like it's a classic Rolex. 78 00:02:49.170 --> 00:02:51.420 It's a watch I used to see a lot of people 79 00:02:51.420 --> 00:02:54.842 that are in investment banking and finance, 80 00:02:54.842 --> 00:02:57.060 this is their everyday watch. 81 00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:58.870 Let's see what else we have. 82 00:02:58.870 --> 00:02:59.970 We have the Yacht Master rhodium 83 00:02:59.970 --> 00:03:02.640 and it's got a really beautiful dial. 84 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:04.350 I think it was about 10K. 85 00:03:04.350 --> 00:03:06.150 The investment bankers in the hood, 86 00:03:06.150 --> 00:03:07.770 they used to have these watches. 87 00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:11.670 Next one, we'll go to the Cartier Skeleton rose gold, 88 00:03:11.670 --> 00:03:12.720 all baguette diamonds. 89 00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:14.670 I'm a walking chandelier when I wear this. 90 00:03:14.670 --> 00:03:16.251 it's about building a collection. 91 00:03:16.251 --> 00:03:18.151 This can't be part of my collection. 92 00:03:18.151 --> 00:03:20.460 It's a custom, it doesn't hold its value. 93 00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:22.200 If anything, it loses its values 94 00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:23.940 so please don't ask me for prices. 95 00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:25.800 Sometimes you have to pay an arm and a leg 96 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.660 and you're just gonna have to go for prosthetics. 97 00:03:27.660 --> 00:03:30.660 The next watch in my collection was actually sold 98 00:03:30.660 --> 00:03:33.540 to me by a lovely lady that I know over in AP 99 00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:35.527 and she called me one day and she said, 100 00:03:35.527 --> 00:03:36.720 "You do music. 101 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:39.150 I've got the AP music edition available 102 00:03:39.150 --> 00:03:40.440 for you in titanium." 103 00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:42.050 It's limited to 500 pieces. 104 00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:44.130 Yeah, my managers don't like it, man. 105 00:03:44.130 --> 00:03:45.510 They say, I spend too much money. 106 00:03:45.510 --> 00:03:50.280 This AP, I bought for 24 grand retail. 107 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:51.720 I'm just scratching the surface 108 00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:53.155 with my collection at the moment. 109 00:03:53.155 --> 00:03:54.450 I'm still building. 110 00:03:54.450 --> 00:03:55.283 Stay tuned. 111 00:03:55.283 --> 00:03:58.380 Maybe the next time I do this, I'll come with 20. 112 00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:01.020 The next thing I would like to go to is my notebook. 113 00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:03.420 Sometimes I write down how I feel at the moment. 114 00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:05.230 I don't feel appreciated enough, 115 00:04:05.230 --> 00:04:08.340 but then again, neither does rain. 116 00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:09.348 That's a good one. 117 00:04:09.348 --> 00:04:10.181 You like that one, yeah? 118 00:04:10.181 --> 00:04:12.780 Every day, I try to be a better version of myself. 119 00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:14.250 It's a beautiful struggle. 120 00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:16.668 I wrote down a few plans of mine, 121 00:04:16.668 --> 00:04:20.751 things that I would like to achieve, criticisms of myself. 122 00:04:20.751 --> 00:04:24.450 I got rid of anything digital, my notes being one of them 123 00:04:24.450 --> 00:04:28.530 and I had over 2000 notes, songs that I've written already, 124 00:04:28.530 --> 00:04:30.270 songs that I haven't performed. 125 00:04:30.270 --> 00:04:31.590 It's part of the process. 126 00:04:31.590 --> 00:04:32.580 I believe in myself. 127 00:04:32.580 --> 00:04:33.840 I know what I bring to the table. 128 00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:35.811 I know what I can do when I go into the studio 129 00:04:35.811 --> 00:04:38.610 and I'm a creative, I don't see it as lost 130 00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:41.703 because it's always gonna be somewhere in my subconscious. 131 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:44.940 The next item I'd like to introduce, 132 00:04:44.940 --> 00:04:48.600 one of one pair signed by Virgil and Lucien Clark. 133 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.070 Lucien's a kind man. 134 00:04:50.070 --> 00:04:51.870 He's one of the hardest workers I know. 135 00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:54.270 Back in the day, we used to look up to gangsters. 136 00:04:54.270 --> 00:04:56.580 Gangsters don't have to be your only inspiration. 137 00:04:56.580 --> 00:04:57.810 You can get inspired by art. 138 00:04:57.810 --> 00:04:59.280 You can get inspired by this. 139 00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:00.870 He has his own shoe With Louis Vuitton 140 00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:02.250 I invited him over to my house, 141 00:05:02.250 --> 00:05:03.083 we were chopping it up 142 00:05:03.083 --> 00:05:05.020 and at that time I was looking for someone to, 143 00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:07.470 I had my gray mask and I was looking for someone 144 00:05:07.470 --> 00:05:10.590 to enhance my mask and I told him my interests, 145 00:05:10.590 --> 00:05:11.610 I told him what I liked. 146 00:05:11.610 --> 00:05:14.640 I just let him get to know me on a personal level. 147 00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:17.271 A lot of high luxury, even without admitting it, 148 00:05:17.271 --> 00:05:20.220 they do bite the style of skaters. 149 00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:22.350 Skaters are the original cool kids. 150 00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:23.763 Even the OGs know that. 151 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:27.630 Next item, I'd like to go onto is prayer beads 152 00:05:27.630 --> 00:05:29.186 and they were given to me by my dad. 153 00:05:29.186 --> 00:05:30.630 Growing up, me and my dad 154 00:05:30.630 --> 00:05:32.610 never had the greatest relationship. 155 00:05:32.610 --> 00:05:34.320 Maybe because I was a delinquent. 156 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:36.900 When he gave me these, I've always kept these with me. 157 00:05:36.900 --> 00:05:39.480 My parents are getting old and it's a great reminder 158 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.430 to look at this and always remember them. 159 00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:43.050 I try my best to follow my religion. 160 00:05:43.050 --> 00:05:44.910 I guess we're all sinners, we all sin. 161 00:05:44.910 --> 00:05:48.173 There's been times where I'm not close to my creator 162 00:05:48.173 --> 00:05:50.220 or close to my religion 163 00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:51.990 because of maybe external factors, 164 00:05:51.990 --> 00:05:54.420 and I feel like religion just keeps me grounded as well. 165 00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:56.417 It keeps me on a level head. 166 00:05:56.417 --> 00:05:59.810 The next item I'd like to talk about is my twin. 167 00:06:01.943 --> 00:06:04.470 He's my friend, this guy here. 168 00:06:04.470 --> 00:06:06.630 I'm not like Jim Carrey when I put on the mask, 169 00:06:06.630 --> 00:06:08.850 it just turns me into someone completely different. 170 00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:11.310 I firmly believe in being yourself at all times, 171 00:06:11.310 --> 00:06:13.107 no matter the situation, no matter the environment, 172 00:06:13.107 --> 00:06:15.090 you just have to be yourself. 173 00:06:15.090 --> 00:06:17.280 The mask is actually a mold of my face. 174 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:18.540 You are looking at my face. 175 00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:20.790 It just doesn't really have facial features. 176 00:06:20.790 --> 00:06:22.470 It's been a big part of my career. 177 00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:23.430 It's my brand. 178 00:06:23.430 --> 00:06:25.800 Protecting my identity when it came to music 179 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.560 has always been the narrative that I wanted to push myself. 180 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.450 I started off wearing a balaclava. 181 00:06:30.450 --> 00:06:31.440 It was really hot. 182 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:32.880 There was times where I'm on stage 183 00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:35.081 and I'm thinking, "Yep, this is it. 184 00:06:35.081 --> 00:06:36.810 I'm about to collapse." 185 00:06:36.810 --> 00:06:39.390 The only way that I would ever evolve this mask 186 00:06:39.390 --> 00:06:42.840 is if it was with a specific brand, maybe like a Montclair. 187 00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:44.640 So I feel like a Chrome Hearts would be good 188 00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:47.440 if they was to do something in Sterling Silver 189 00:06:48.994 --> 00:06:52.500 "The Creative Act, A Way of Being," by Rick Rubin. 190 00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:54.900 Thoughts and habits not conducive to the work, 191 00:06:54.900 --> 00:06:56.280 believing you're not good enough, 192 00:06:56.280 --> 00:06:58.380 feeling you don't have the energy it takes, 193 00:06:58.380 --> 00:07:01.200 mistaking adopted rules for absolute truths, 194 00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:02.760 not wanting to do the work. 195 00:07:02.760 --> 00:07:04.563 Laziness, don't be lazy. 196 00:07:05.700 --> 00:07:09.300 When there's someone so intriguing like Rick Rubin 197 00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.370 and they release a
