T: How did you begin making music?
Cola: I started writing songs in federal prison just said fuck it one day. I always been on beat shit I don’t consider myself rapper or singer even tho I do both, honestly I just be vibing, bored, or emotional.

T: Tell me about “Wet”, what inspired the record?
Cola: I woke up one night and wrote “Wet” and another song. I was irritated about some shit going on that day between these fake bitches and baby daddy problems, I wrote wet and another song called call “The Ref” which will be dropping soon.
T: How is it different than previous works?
Cola: I don’t like my previous work. As you make songs you get better and I don’t sound the same as two years ago. I’m still working on my craft tho.
