Ty Dolla $ign, writer and producer extraordinaire – who’s worked with the likes of Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and the pop group Fifth Harmony – is about to release his new album, ‘Beach House 3’. A sequel to his well-received 2012 mixtape ‘Beach House’, it’s filled with crisp hop-hop bangers, plus the occasional curveball (see the reggae-inluenced ‘So Am I’, which was produced by Skrillex and features Damian Marley). He’s a wise fella, Mr. Dolla $ign, so we grilled him about his thoughts on various people and – indeed – things that have touched his life. From skating to cash-money to condoms, here’s your friend and mine, Ty Dolla $ign, on life itself.
