HIS COUSIN AND HIS BEST FRIEND
“…We were in Miami for three months earlier this year. We’ve been working over the course of the last three years. I kind of lost my cousin about a month and a half ago — probably my best friend in the world. He was like my little brother, really. We grew up together. I
remember when he moved into the house when he was just a baby. I was about six years old. So you can imagine, a six-year difference —
I’m 13 and he’s six — so you’re just kind of helping someone fend for himself. So that’s the relationship and he passed away suddenly. He had an enlarged heart and had a heart attack. So when that happened, it totally changed everything about the album on some level because there’s a certain amount of counting your blessings, forgiving things that you thought were unforgivable. Being an artist, it’s like, “Damn, why do I need to have mess up things happen for things to sound so nice for people?” It’s weird. It’s so weird, bro. I don’t even get it. I take it as it comes and I go, “This is what you’re here to do. You’re here to take on your life and what you go through — mostly the worst part of it — and make it into something nice so people feel that they can relate and they can overcome certain experiences.” So that’s what I’m doing now.”
I felt so sad reading this I hope Maxwell will live and be careful with his own life.
