Tell me how y’all got to be close friends.
Druski: I saw Diddy post something like, “This is the next kid. He’s the one.” So I’m like, “Yo, Diddy doesn't even post shit like that.” He’ll either put himself… or himself. I checked Jack’s page out, and I was like, “Yo, this song is a banger.”
What song was it?
DRUSKI: “Thru the Night” with Bryson Tiller. I instantly started clicking some of his other songs, like “Sundown.” I’m like “OK, this white boy is it.”
JACK: What's crazy about it is, when he hit me, I’d been following him. I’d been a fan of his stuff for three months. So I had spent the summer of 2019 showing people my phone, like, “Yo, this is the funniest dude on the internet,” as a fan. So when he followed me and messaged me and said I was dope, we got on the phone right away. And I’m like, “You think I’m dope? I think you’re hilarious.” And then, a couple months later, we got cool. It’s probably around this time two years ago.
You were already spending time in Atlanta at that point, anyway.
DRUSKI: I didn’t even know he was in Atlanta. I thought he was in Kentucky.
JACK: I was like, “I’m in Atlanta; come kick it.” We ended up going on tour two months later.
DRUSKI: I asked him, “Yo, I don’t know if you have anybody hosting your tour. I would be willing to just open up, just to learn. I’ll do it for free. It doesn’t matter. I just want to learn how to do some live shit.” And he was just like, “Yo, I don’t have nobody. I’d love for you to do it.” And then, boom. It just took off.
