I think Clams Casino was getting real big back then and I loved a lot of his beats, he was out of this world. I would take time listening to a ton of beats in my dorm room and just vibe out.

On the verge of the release of Man on Fire, Thutmose sat with Billboard to speak on the project, how he dealt with moving to a new country, the lessons he learned from Scott Storch, and why he feels he’s hip-hop’s Trae Young. The project features Desiigner and Jay Critch, with production by KillaGraham, Scott Storch and more. With his debut project Man on Fire, premiering below on Billboard, Thutmose is giving listeners a brief introduction into his life, whether it be coming from Nigeria and trying to fit in (“Pressure”), hanging out with his friends embracing the thrills of New York (“Ride With Me”) or dealing with relationship problems (“Karma”). Thutmose has blossomed into one of the most promising and versatile newcomers in the genre.
