“New Freezer” would’ve had a plethora of artists until Kendrick Lamar stepped up.
Despite being booted off of the song, Ferg was just happy to see his lil homie flourish. He explained in the interview that ultimately, the move to add Kendrick Lamar to the song only boosted Rich The Kid’s career.
“I’m like, “Cool, as long as the lil homie get on.’… He’s from the hood. I used to throw him a little something here and there on some ‘get home safe’ type shit,” he explained. “But to see what ‘New Freezer’ did, and it took him to a whole other level. He got a pub deal, got an artist deal, a label deal, living in an L.A. house, everything. Off a song and being around.”
