Desiigner may have a number one single under his belt, but the majority still don’t know too much about him aside from the fact he’s signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music. Rob Markman and Genius thought it was about time we found out a little more to the “Panda” rapper, so they invited him for a chat in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
The 19-year old talks about coming from Bed-Stuy and being influenced by his dad’s old school funk and his sister’s Jamaican reggae. He opens up on starting to rap at 14 years old and the effect of getting shot in the hip around the same time. He was in a bad place as a kid but his recent success has understandably put a smile on his mom’s face.
