The magazine paid a visit to Weezy's Miami mansion to see theYoung Moneyboss at workand play. Between his skate and smoke sessions, he spoke about his dedication to music, his epileptic seizureslast year, and being the best at what he does.
"When I first started doing it, you only did it to be the best—notto havea hot song or popularity or for Instagram or Twitter," said Weezy. "I'm one of thelast ofa dying breed…the ones who are only about the music. You have to want to be unforgettable. The only other people who I can think of like that are Kanye and Beyoncé."

On his love for music:"All I am is music. That's all I do and all I know, 366 days a year, 25 hours a day, eight days a week. This is my life and what I breathe. This isn't something I do. It's who I am."
On heeding the call:"I was always ready for the call. That's the best way to explain it. Wayne's always ready. When it's my turn, I make way more than the most of it. If you're ready when they call you, and you make the most of your time, then they'll never stop calling you."
On his process:"I'm just a regular street ni**a that's a little smarter than the rest. I rap whatever comes up in my head. Whatever rhymes with the nextwordand how I'mfeeling. I start rapping and we find something within what I just said and make a songout of it."
On his need for weed:"I don't know howit works, but I know that I need weed…extra when I'm creating. It helps in a major way."
On his 2013 seizures:"I don'trememberanything about the experience. I don't mean to sound bad, but it wasn't no life-changing thing. I shot myself when I was 12. I grew up in Hollygrove. I've seen way worse."
