The rapper discussed his experience providing vocals for Tyler’s 2017 album called ‘Flower Boy’. He mentioned that this working experience has opened his eyes to a different world. He said, “Tyler, The Creator taught me by giving me a mirror to look at what I did on my own… couldn’t possibly understand from a bedroom in the countryside in the UK.”

The singer added: “I remember that The Game rolled up to the studio in a Red Rolls Royce! It just felt like a different world.” The collaborative relationship between Tyler and O’Connor started when Tyler sent him an email with an invitation to visit his studio in Los Angeles. In that email letter, Tyler praised the rapper for his excellent work.
