DJ Vlad starts this clip by revealing to the interviewee, Desiigner, that he was initially introduced to his music by a mutual friend named Taxstone. From there, Desiigner talks about his Brooklyn roots, his Caribbean heritage, and being the grandson of a famous African American Blues singer named Sidney Selby, aka Guitar Crusher. As the discussion continues, the 25-year-old talks about growing up in the Louis Armstrong projects, gang-banging, getting shot at the age of fourteen and hustling. He also talks about how getting shot changed his life and made him want to choose a different path.
