When you say coming to that realization of “this is what it is,” do you mean that in the context of being an artist, your everyday life, or both?īoth. It’s coming to the realization this is what it is and this is how it’s going to be. Whatever that was bothering me and I’m letting that go. It’s kind of like the summary of that feeling, like them other two projects, those them kind of stories, it’s the end of it. It’s way more stuff that went on, so it’s just the next chapter. What do you think are some of the other things that separated this project from your previous work? I know you referenced feeling like you have more stories to tell. But whenever I feel like it was done, it was done, and I felt like it was done at 21. Kind of stack the songs up and I listen to it a couple times, I might throw it out, give it to somebody, anything. I just try to… I don’t know, whenever I feel like it’s done, it’s done, so I just be recording. What was that like for you with this one? What was the creative process like for you? I know some artists create a lot of songs, dozens of songs, and choose. It was like the same position I was in back then, and the city’s like same position. ![]() I feel like it’s what needed to be on there. It seems like this is one of your longest projects since El Toro in 2019, so I was wondering, what made you decide to go with 21 tracks for this project? I don’t want to say what’s for who because you might get something different than somebody else. That’s why I like just rapping whole bodies of works so you can see what I’m on, not just one way. I don’t know, because what I put in, it might not be what the listener get out, so I don’t want to just tag it.

Last year, EST Gee dropped Bigger Than Life Or Death and a December deluxe version, with “Lick Back,” “5500 Degrees,” and “Real As It Gets” with Lil Baby becoming his first Billboard top 100 charters. Those two albums, buoyed by songs like, “Rotimi,” “Young Shiners,” and “Ball Forever” sparked a bidding war that ended when he signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG records, becoming a key figure of a crew that now includes noteworthy acts like Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, Mozzy, and fast-rising “FNF” star GloRilla. ![]() I Never Felt Nun is the successor to March 2020’s Ion Feel Nun and December 2020’s Still Don’t Feel Nun. What he refrains from expressing in conversation spills into a growing catalog that’s bolstered his reputation as one of the rap game’s most dependable sources for steely street stories over ominous, trap-based production. He’s not rude, but measured in a way that affirms his comments to me that, “you’ll never regret being quiet.” But EST Gee, whose album I Never Felt Nun dropped Friday, is remarkably discerning about how much he reveals about himself. The premise of the album release interview is to get a peek inside an artist’s world since their last project. The room is windowless, which I didn’t realize was a symbol of what’s about to take place over the course of the interview. EST Gee and his two-person team aren’t celebrating in the upstairs suite they’ve booked, though the table’s platter of shrimp, oxtail tacos, and fruity-looking drinks looks like a Rick Ross lyric. It’s a sunny day in New York City, but the lights are dim inside the restaurant Jue Lan in Manhattan, a go-to for industry dinners and celebrations, which may explain the casino lighting that permeates certain corners of the establishment.
