Written by djfrosty on October 8, 2024
Mustard, the mastermind behind the beat of Kendrick Lamar’s smash hit “Not Like Us,” is riding a wave of success. Hot on the heels of this triumph, he unleashed his own creation, ‘Faith of a Mustard Seed.’ But he’s far from done. We spend a day with Mustard exploring his daily routine, diving into the profound cultural and personal influence of “Not Like Us,” discovering what lies ahead for him, and more!
Mustard:
What up y’all? It’s Mustard, man. Cover of Billboard, man. Who would have thought we’d be here today? But we are. So today, I’m gonna take y’all through my life, my daily life. Talk to y’all about what I got going on, and my music. For right now, we are going to the Thunderdome, aka the red court, where people don’t want to come because they don’t want to play me. We going there, y’all beat me there. See ya. I’m like a person that’s like anything that I do, I’m an extremist. So I play every day, sometimes two times a day. I think that I got so good that nobody wants to play with me no more. I mean, YG comes here, but YG can’t do nothing with me on this tennis court. He’s not a guy that can do anything with me. His daughter comes and practices here. He can’t do a godd**n thing with me here. So let’s just clear that out.

He’s really focused, really dialed in when he’s on the court. And then sometimes, you know, during breaks, he’ll just be taking a FaceTime call. He’ll be talking to Meko, his manager. He’ll talk to artists that he’s working on a song with, and it’s kind of surreal for me, but it’s just it also is like, become so normal.
Keep watching for more!
