Lil Tjay‘s climb to the top is steadily coming to fruition as the 19-year-old rapper has seen his status change overnight, so to speak, with the success of songs like “Calling My Phone”. Popping in to the Power 106 studios to chop it up with the L.A. Leakers Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk, the New York native didn’t hold back on his assurance in himself and his craft.

Speaking on what he has in the works, as he’s non-stop with new music, Tjay discusses how he churned out some popular features for his latest album, which includes appearances form Tyga, Saweetie, Polo G, and many more.

The rapper also shares with the Leakers his writing process which usually focuses on him sharpening his writing skills, over freestyling. As the self-proclaimed King Of New York, the 19-year-old also expresses that he’s always believed in himself and called himself the GOAT before he was put on, and his friends and family can all co-sign his early beliefs. Tjay goes on to speak on New York rap competition, investing his money, and what’s in store for his career.
