When I heard the beat with the ice cream truck sample in it, it was perfect. On your new mixtape you also have a song that samples the ice cream trunk jingle. But I knew it was something hot when we laid it down. I didn’t know it was going to do all this. I don’t know man, I can’t really explain it. So much authenticity and energy went into it from all three of us. Why do you think “Chill Bill” is resonating with so many people? You need to take a step back, focus on music, get life right.
Kill Bill is one of my favorite movies, so I was already into it when I heard the beat - he says the whistle is “infectious.” We booked a session out by Mexico, made the trip, and “Chill Bill” came out. It’s a real life story. He was like, “I found this beat, Purpdogg produced it,” and he put it on. They let us go and immediately after we went to Spooks’ and J. One day we linked up after we got stopped by the police. Davis, who’s on the song, he found the beat. How did you run across the “Chill Bill” beat? It amazes me to see where we started, hanging mics from the ceiling, to where we are now. As my career keeps picking up, the studio gets bigger and better. That was the nicest studio in San Diego it was a change for us. We started in the garage, then we made it out all the way to a warehouse by Mexico, then our next studio moved over to North Park. It’s really progressed ever these last two years - every studio we go to gets bigger and better. We would record on GarageBand in my room on the Macbook and just hang the mic from the ceiling.

In garage studios with old Windows computers. Being in Atlanta made me want to make more bangers, more hype music than calm, chill music like in San Diego. It’s definitely a different music culture. When I was out there I saw how everybody in Atlanta support each other. I wanted to bring that to San Diego and give local artists a chance. In San Diego, we don’t get that on the radio.
When you were Atlanta, what rap was big out there at the time? We all just push and help each other to get better, keep doing it, and never give up. 1207 started, and it’s been going ever since then.
Then when I was out in Atlanta I started going to the studio all the time, I moved back to San Diego, linked back up with all my friends. In high school, my boy had been rapping since we were freshmen, and I saw how much better he got. It’s always been a dream of mine since I was like five. I walked out the liquor store about 10 minutes ago, and I was walking out, someone was like, “Yo, Rob $tone!” Everywhere I go in San Diego, somebody knows me. There’s a sense of unity and pride from San Diego right now that’s amazing. Ever since 1207, everyone’s been coming together. There’s a lot of gangsta rap in San Diego as well. What the scene like in San Diego, aside from 1207? Chart Title With 'Paint The Town Red'īefore $tone takes his own budding career on the road - he will open for A$AP Ferg on the Turnt & Burnt tour that kicks off in October - Billboard caught up with him to discuss his hit, his admiration for Uma Thurman, and his I’m Almost Ready mixtape.
