Teezo Touchdown, whose recently released How Do You Sleep at Night? is undoubtedly one of the most exciting debuts in recent memory and assuredly one of this year’s best albums, is having one hell of a 2023.
In a recent interview with Kenan Draughorne for the Los Angeles Times, Teezo reflected on this pivotal moment in his artistic journey, specifically how a cosign from Drake led to a night that was simultaneously one of the "highest" and "lowest" of his life.
As previously reported, the 6 god called Teezo's debut "some of the best music ever" in an Instagram update last month. The "Summer Games" sequel denier followed that up by bringing Teezo out during a Los Angeles area stop on his and 21 Savage's It's All a Blur tour.
“It was one of the highest nights of my life, but also one of the lowest,” Teezo told the Times. “There was an influx of negative comments. Someone was like, get this Disney Channel, pop dude, whatever whatever — and for a few minutes, I heard it in their voice. I was like, ‘Am I tripping?’"
As Teezo explained, his “relationship with rejection is still sensitive” at the moment since it’s still “new” to him. Still, he’s “not trying to put weight” on those who choose to “hate on you blatantly.”
Next for Teezo is his appearance on Travis Scott's upcoming Circus Maximus Tour in support of Utopia, which itself featured Teezo on highlight "Modern Jam."
How Do You Sleep at Night? is out now and you should definitely be listening to it on the regular.
