What’s going on, guys? This is Beat by Beat. I’m Mike Saponara here with Billboard. We have the great Lil Tecca. Tecc, talk to the people — how are we feeling? 

Feeling good. I’m about to drop Plan A with my guy, Mike.

Hey, yeah, we’re looking forward to that. Take us back. When did that world start to take form for you?

I honestly got the name Plan A when I was about to finish Tec, my last album. 

OK. 

I didn’t really know what I wanted to call the next one. So when it was kind of time to decide the name for this album, I had a couple mines, couple names in my head, but I just remembered, like I was thinking about Plan A.

Plan A. There’s no Plan B.

Going Plan A.

Word. Where do you do most of your recording, I guess. How was the creative process for that? 

For this album, we recorded most of it in Miami. I was just in the studio everyday with, like, money and ties and all of them. There was a couple songs that I did in New York and also in my crib, too. 

Did you produce a lot of this album?

I didn’t produce a lot of it, but definitely my beat selection is what drives a lot of the production, 

Right, right.

Keep watching for more!
