FERG opened up about traumatic childhood experience in new record
FERG reveals the reasons behind his decision to share his experience of childhood molestation in a personal song appearing on his latest album, DAROLD. In a Tuesday (November 12) interview with The Breakfast Club, co-host Jess Hilarious talked about the song called “Pool” where the Malian rapper goes in depth about the traumatic experience.
“It took me eight years to write ‘Pool.’ It was three songs that I had wrote to get to that point,” he explained. “I wrote a song called ‘We Don’t Judge’ and Chance The Rapper‘s on there and Stacy Barthe. I’ma still put that out. Then I wrote another song called ‘Innocent Child’ which was like three different stories about three different people [and] the last story was mine.
“I was just trying to refine it and then I linked up with my boy Kerby – he’s the designer and owner of Pyer Moss. I just love his storytelling through his clothes and how he speaks to the world. We got in the studio and he was just like, ‘Yo bro, you inching towards it and you’re scratching the surface when you need to really just dive in and just go crazy.’”
