"When I got my knee replacement and I opened my eyes straight outta surgery, the first person standin..." — DJ Premier

My mom's an art teacher, so I always had music in the house. She always had records, and I was mesmerized by the mechanics of how a turntable works.

I grew up in a town called Prairie View. It's like 45 minutes outside of Houston.

I was a heavy kid, even though I was into sports and very active.

Yeah, Travis Scott's dad taught me how to ride minibikes and how to repair the engines. His name's Jack Webster. Jack had a drum set and his brother had a bass. So I used to play with them, and that's what started me wanting to get into music and take it serious. And this is before rap.
