GREENOVA SPECIAL #2: Squadda Bambino breaks down B$C

Did you record Down in the studio together with Danny Brown? How was it meeting up with him in real life?

Naa, I had Down all the way done with just me rapping, and I sent it off. It comes back and I’m like damn i gotta rearrange the song, so I put Shady on it too. We met Danny Brown like three, four months back at Fader Fort. We was backstage sipping, sitting down then Danny Brown pops up out of nowhere, pretty lil white girl with him. That nigga’s really cool, I fuck wit his whole demeanor. Shit got crazy when ASAP Rocky was performing, a fight broke out and shit, everybody scrambling and shit, so we go back to the backstage area to get our other shoes and this nigga Danny Brown still in last place we left him with the bitch haha. Didn’t even know what was going on.

Even though many of your beats are very mellow, you seem to be very energetic when rapping live. What tricks do you have for putting on a good show? Couldn’t tell you, besides alcohol and smoke will slow you down, but being sober will make you be fake energetic – if you’re anything like me.

How did it work out with the being sober for a month thing?

I didn’t last a month but it made me see it’s easy to stay clean in daytime. I get a lot of work done and am super energetic sober. I don’t think people want that.

Like other Greenova releases there was a lot of variation in ideas and sounds on B$C – you ever feel like making more of a strictly conceptual album?

Already ahead of you, Main Attrakionz Bossalinis & Foolyiones, the album coming in a few months thats about as close to conceptual we gonna get.

What else are you planning for the future?

A hectic year living life. Introducing the fam to y’all, which I’ll focus on doing with my last solo of this year.

All chapters of Greenova?

Them plus some, thats what I’m saying. Robbie Rob was here meeting Kreayshawn’s manager today. February should be next month you hear from all them again, minus maybe Shady Blaze, who might drop before hand.

Do you have any relation to Livewire, HD, or any other Bay Area rappers outside the Greenova fam?Besides seeing these niggas and seeing bitches i know in they videos, nah. Nobody is blood relative to any rappers out here besides Mondre, Clyde Carson is his cousin. And my cousin’s dad is Seagram from East Oakland who died in the 90s.

Will you put out your music and present yourselves to the world differently in any way this year?

Yea, in a bigger way. Clearer visions, looking like money.

At what moment did you think: “this rap shit is really working out”?

When I started making stuff happen with the money it brought. Every time I needed something and could get it easily I started being thankful of the path I chose for real.

As you’re getting more famous, what are some traps and pitfalls that you’re watching out for?

My family, period, just their safety.
