We tapped in with Oakland’s Affiliat3d after his successful release of “Batter Up”! He’s been dropping some heat lately. Below is our conversation with him about his musical process and what’s coming next. Tap in with Affiliat3d on IG: @affiliat3d._ and read more on “Batter Up” here. (Artist Submitted)
Thizzler: Where are you from? How was your upbringing?
Affiliat3d: I wrote batter up in jail. I got the beat from a nigga names saviii 3rd from baby insane in song beach. I was in prison with him and when he got out he took off running. I respected what he had goin on and in some way it was a inspiration. He got out and got signed to cash money . Fresh out the pin you know . I got on the same beat and put my own spin on it and referenced my life and shit I was goin thru. It’s a PSA of where I stand and what I’m on you know?
Affiliat3d: It’s a different flow. Like I said saviii 3rd got the original song I just put my own spin on there . And like I said it’s a statement so this song getting across a whole mother message. It’s to everybody ain’t nobody expect from what I was sayin in that song.
T: Is it part of a project? If so, can you tell me more about that?
Affiliat3d: Na this was more of just lyrical exercise. This not even my beat I was just having fun with that fr. I fasho got a couple projects in the works.
