Overview
- In a new Rolling Stone interview, the Detroit rapper disclosed a years-long bout with lingual dystonia that disrupted his speech and halted recording.
- He described inflamed cranial and vagus nerves along with a COMT gene variant that slows dopamine processing and leaves the brain’s left hemisphere with less dopamine.
- After multiple improper diagnoses and medication trials, he says he is "almost through it" and has begun recording again.
- During his recovery, he served as executive co-producer of Big L’s posthumous album Harlem’s Finest: Return of the King, released around Halloween 2025.
- Addressing skepticism, he said the verses on the album were not throwaways and framed the release as honoring Big L’s legacy and supporting his family.
