Dex is that “Pop a pill now I’m high/Pop a pill now I’m high.” And Dexter is “Bitch I came back from the grave/Follow my wave/Whipping bitches like a slave/Oh yeah! Dexter!” That crazy guy. Can you explain who Dex is and who Dexter is?ĭex is that sauce guy. So you’re titling your album Dex Meets Dexter. He got his own song and then he got the fucking “Mattress” remix with him, Ferg, Rocky, Carti, and Rich. I was just so happy, man, and it was just a blessing. For me, to have two songs on his album just made me know that I’m accomplishing a lot of stuff. We all know Dexter is new to this game compared to these big artists. Speaking of Ferg, I think I was the only artist this year that had two songs on his album. That was one of the dopest moments of my life, too. You did the “Mattress” remix and you were on “Coach Cartier.” When did that happen? You’ve actually worked with other ASAP guys too. I’m like, “Damn, this is going to be big.” And timing as I begin to grow, I’ve figured out timing is the key of everything. I kind of knew this song was going to be big because I never had been in the studio with two producers making beats for me, I just always get them from somebody’s email, I just go knock them out. When I did that song, I had producers in the studio with me making the beat and I never had that in my life. You know, this whole new wave shit, I’m part of the new generation. It’s hard to get a track with ASAP Rocky.įki, they were there in the studio with us. I feel like this record right here will show the world and everybody that I accomplished something. It was a great, great look, and it’s a great, great record.
It sounded 10 times better and everything. I’m like, “I don’t like this song, I don’t want it.” They played it again.
I’m like, “I don’t like it.” I think where I recorded it at, it just sounded bullshit. Zeke and Wayne could tell you, I didn’t want the song. I’m not like a Jay Z writer or a Nas, so I just go in there and do my thing. I’m more of a freestyle rapper, and more of a new wave.
Especially getting ASAP on the record is a big, big look for me. “Pick It Up” was something very different for me. The track gives us an exciting taste of his highly-anticipated album, Dex Meets Dexter.Ĭheck out the song below, as well as our conversation with Dex on “Pick It Up,” working with the ASAP Mob, and what we can expect from his album. The song has a bit of a knock to it, and contains a familiar hip-hop sample: Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.’s “Nothing Can Stop Me.” Dex and Rocky ride FKi’s beat with a hurried flow, delivering some boastful lines underscored by Dex’s signature ad-libs, arguably some of the best in the game today. Today, Complex is premiering his new single “Pick It Up” featuring ASAP Rocky, which shows off his chemistry with the ASAP Mob leader. Together with burgeoning Brooklyn rapper Jay Critch, they dropped Rich Forever 3 over the summer, a teaser for their respective solo releases coming soon.Īs Rich has established himself as hip-hop’s social butterfly-collaborating with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Partynextdoor, and Justin Bieber-Dexter is building up his rep as a new wave artist who can make music with just about anybody. Rich the Kid’s protégé has vowed to bring a Wu-Tang Clan style of energy back into hip-hop, and that shines on viral tracks like “Drip From My Walk" and "2 Times." Dex’s work ethic is similar to Rich’s in that they both release music at an alarming rate. Famous Dex’s flamboyant personality stands out on every song he’s made.
