In this episode of Pay The Creators, Abe chops it up with West Philly-native Othello Beats. On a music tip, he talks about being the first producer to get Pop Smoke on a non-Drill beat, landing a viral freestyle with his hometown hero Meek Mill, and how moving to L.A. took his career to the next stage. On a personal level, the son of Liberian immigrants discusses spirituality in the creation process and the disservice of blocking one's blessings - ultimately letting us know it's cool to be different, which, in his experience, placed him ahead of the game.

Learn a thing or two about how humility and gratitude, combined with talent and persistence, make for one of BeatStars' most successful and sought out producers.
