A little more than 24hrs until #Superghetto releases. Tell me your favorite feature.”
During an Apple Music interview in February, Buddy talked about the direction of Superghetto and the meaning behind the album title. “It’s more about the essence of growing up in the hood, you feel me?” he explained. “I’m from there so it’s in me, it ain’t on me, and I take it everywhere I go, and that’s all around the world. Everybody else has to really just conform to the energy that I’m bringing to the table and making adjustments and really come into the vibe that I’m presenting.”
