In this clip, Pressa discussed dropping Deadmihanna and gives insight to the term’s meaning. According to Pressa, it was influenced by the Chicago drill scene which was hot at the time and Pressa decided to put his own spin on their phrase of smoking “dead opps.” Pressa also went in depth regarding his journey toward making rap a full-time career. He detailed how he made money through the distribution platform, TuneCore. Pressa said he would see small amounts of money at the beginning but his breakthrough came when he got a check worth $10K which spurred his career forward. He later talked about how his move toward a legitimate career has garnered him much praise from fans, family, teachers, social workers, and even former correctional officers.
