Chop's brother solidified the connection + Chopsquad going to the Chop house every weekend 14:14 How the whole family and squad is geared the same way and ready to defend each other at all times 16:44 The number one goal Chopsquad had was to get his music out before anything 17:25 Being in the background for a while and slowly put himself out to be in the front 18:29 When he actually started to get paid and being very close to Young Chop and his Mom 20:02 His relationship with Chief Keef really opened the largest doors 21:11 Relationship with Durk caused a mild divide with him and Young Chop:

Chopsquad his name 23:51 Doing 7 songs on Chief Keef's "Sorry 4 the Weight" project 25:06 Being thankful that Young Chop allowed him to be in a great situation 28:20 The evolution of working with Keef in 2014 to now where he doesn't have to worry about his next meal 29:18 Teaching Chief Keef how to make beats 30:31 Chief Keef actually enjoys being self sufficient so he doesn't rely on other people 34:28 Same for Chopsquad who can actually work way faster by being self sufficient 35:25 Being focus on the creativity now 35:45 Making sure his name holds weight now that he can focus on the quality of the music 36:22 Learning individualism from Chief Keef and was content to be a ghost producer at first 36:58 "All my childhood friends been gone, it's hard to see my future" 38:31 "I'm trying to make it hard to duplicate my sound" 39:54 Growth in your creative process: "People get comfortable and stay stagnant" 40:45 People whispering that Durk was over a couple years ago 41:51 "Durk is considered the new Future" 43:35 Losing King Von and how he met Von before he started rappin 45:45 Asking Von to be serious about it before he sent any more beats: "If you want me to help you, you have to listen to everything I say!" 47:40 The way they worked together, sending each other voice memos, and making tracks from scratch 49:52 Playing voice memos from King Von and how they build tracks together 50:45 Recording from Von's kitchen while on house arrest 53:08 Chopsquad is devastated that Von ain't here to live his dreams 53:47 Von wanting to stay on FaceTime with Chopsquad all the time lol 56:01 Von couldn't make money on house arrest and how he showed the same love back to Chopsquad when he was in position to do so 57:25 Chposqad didn't ask for money for producing Von's first project and he showed his appreciation to make sure Chopsquad was good when he got in position 59:11 Von was so loyal, he didn't want to work with other producers for a long time 1:00:27 Only a handful of artists: Swae Lee, Trippie, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, Moneybaggyo REALLY F with Von before he got big 1:01:56 Why "Welcome to O'Block" is one of the hardest Chicago project in a long time and Chopsquad A&R and Executive Produced 1:03:33 How he shaped Von's sound from the jump 1:04:44 His last conversation with Von the day he passed: "Give me a year and I'll make you a star, then he said he'd call me back after the show..." 1:05:50 Chopsquad is mad at Von for not being here anymore: "That sh** hurts" 1:06:35 "I know him, I know he was reckless, he fights a lot" 1:07:14 "He put his life on hold to focus on music" + Von being one of the few who gave the same amount of love back to Chopsquad 1:07:55 "I was King and he was Von, that's how close we were!" 1:09:39 Von never really left the street behind but was happy he wasn't in jail 1:11:26 Telling Von to stop mentioning the streets in his music, thinking he could change a couple words so it doesn't sound too realistic 1:12:51 Bringing heat to school when he was 13 1:16:28 Von's wish was to fix Chopsquad relationship with Tee Grizzly 1:18:43 Relationship are more important than music 1:21:22 Currently working with Tee Grizzly and Fetty Wap 1:22:39 Building with real genuine people like Von 1:24:30 Cooking beats on the spot and sending directly to the artists phones so there's no leaks 1:27:03 Chopsquad wants to be remembered as a genuine hard working person who came from nothing and made it happen, who pioneered from drill to melody 1:28:50 Keep pushing the artists he works with through their dedication and consistency, who built their passion to a career 1:29:25 Chopsquad working with Nelly?

The interviewer is really good at being genuine and engaging from beginning to end. Very theraputic to watch, inspires me to do better and make sure the contracts and business is right... this business will for sure take advantage of the good talented people out here.

This was surprisingly a great interview... Never really heard of this guy but quite familiar with the "DJ on the beat so you know that its a banger!" on many of Vons songs... On a side note, it's a complete tragedy how much insane talent dies in Chicago before they really hit their peak! RIP Von, RIP Duck, RIP Pappy and countless others...

I'm not DJ's biggest fan by any means. His sound is cool, but not my favorite. BUT, he is easily the most talented mainstream producer out right now. He practically ice-skates on the keyboard. If you've seen him on live streams, you know what I'm talking about. He makes beats with hit potential in a matter of minutes. The music comes so easily to him-- it's amazing. I'm glad to have seen him get to where he is, because he really deserves it.
