frontman tattooed on the back of his leg. "The first time I ever actually loved a rock song was 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and then it made me go and listen to all of his shit. I wish he would have lived longer to really give off everything and I wonder what he would sound like right now," he says. "I definitely wanted to pay homage to Kurt because he's the rock star of rock stars. I'm just a sex symbol, I'm trying to get there.
Dolla $ign cleared his mind going into crafting his upcoming album by temporarily putting smoking weed on hold for the time being. The 34-year-old wasn't focused on hitmaking, but a conversation with Kanye West really elevated the effort's potential. "I had a meeting one time with Kanye, and played him the album, and he was like, 'Bro nah, you need to do what you do. Add more bass, add more drums, add more, the real shit, that’s what no one else is doing. Be the best you, bring that shit all the way up to the forefront.' That conversation definitely inspired me, and made me go back and go crazy with the live instruments," Ty explains.
