‘The Life of Desiigner’ coming early 2017?
While Desiigner is yet to share release date details for his long-awaited debut album, The Life of Desiigner, he did serve up an appetizer over the summer with his New English mixtape. Since gaining international notoriety through his “Panda” single and eventually linking a deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint, the 19-year-old rapper from Brooklyn has been carefully planning moves for his freshman LP. In a sit-down with Yeezy’s label President, Pusha T, Desiigner touched on what his fans can expect for his T.L.O.D. movement, which you can take a look at below.
On differences between “Panda” and “Timmy Turner.”
PUSHA T: Right. I never compared “Tiimmy Turner” to “Panda.” I looked to “Tiimmy Turner” as a new dimension of Desiigner. People heard “Panda” and fell in love with it. It showed its worth. I feel like “Tiimmy Turner” shows people that, “Damn, there’s a real dimension to this kid. There’s a whole other chamber.” You opened a whole other door. How has fame, and the notoriety on so many different levels, affected you? Do you see people differently? Do you see people acting differently towards you?
DESIIGNER: Yeah. I definitely see that people take my creativity a lot more seriously now. It’s a lot more serious, because that’s the artist I want to be. I’m an artist, I’m not a rapper, I’m nowhere near a rapper. I’m an artist, and I’m here to be creative with every step I take, with every move I make. You feel that? You know what time it is!
On the upcoming debut album.
PUSHA T: I hope you know that you win, man. Because a lot of people can’t be real with themselves and show their true selves. The album, tell everybody, what can they expect?
DESIIGNER: It’s going to be a whole lot of visuals. It’s creativity on top of creativity. Merchandise, tours … It’s going to be crazy. The Life of Desiigner, baby, that’s the name of the album.
