RICO : T.J. Da Beatman sent me that beat man and I wrote that song in probably 15 minutes honestly. The music just spoke to me man it wasn't no formula behind that shit.

SMM : Who is Rico outside of music?

RICO : Outside of music, man I'm just a humble dude really. People look at me and think

I'm this mean, arrogant ass nigga. But to know me is to love me.

If you fuck wit me, you gon get stuck to me.

SMM : Tell us about music life in your city /And what do you think about it

RICO : The music life in my city is cool if you're really working towards something. They say good dope sell itself right? Niggas drop a hot song and think everybody supposed to automatically fuck wit em but they don't invest in their craft and it shows. I just need the world to hear what I gotta say man and I feel like it's a wrap. I ain't even on dis city shit no more but I definitely respect anybody seriously grinding to make it outta here.

SMM : Have you lived in Jacksonville Fla your whole life?

SMM ;SMM : What made you pick these 20 songs for your mixtape Bloodline?
