A San Antonio artist's collaboration with UGK got heavy rotation on 97.9 The Box and blew up internationally overnight. The grueling tour schedule broke him mentally, so he quit. He misses signing autographs at H-E-B and the days before music became just a job.
Regional by putting UGK on the record went to international so quick when I blinked my eyes. I didn't know what the hell was happening when we did that song, UGK and me with Free, and he put that thing on 979 The Box. Say, man, I had a mental breakdown. I was touring with UGK so much I left the tour. Shit was going so fast, Ray. I wasn't ready for this. I'm used to San Antonio local artists. Look, seeing— hey, I'm in HEB signing autographs. I enjoyed that moment, Ray. But when I got up there and did that song with UGK, this shit feel like a job now. Now I gotta chase this shit. It started getting unreal, brother. I didn't want to be an artist no more. Wow. I quit, right? Life is too short, bitch. Now turn that corner.
