He also discusses his relationship with Future, his experience being featured on Metro Boomin and DJ Spinz’s A Futuristic Summa project, and how Atlanta’s music scene has evolved over the years.  Yung Booke opens up about the current state of the content game, why he believes social media has become a “cheat code,” and shares his thoughts on the misconception that Atlanta artists support each other more than artists from other cities.
