Yet, it could be chaotic and unpredictable too. Driveby, OMFG, Red Drop Shawty, Fucked Up, and Cobain. He texted me the next day saying they had arrived-and on that day he and Nedarb created OMFG. I ordered three sets of sheets on August 2 nd. Then he asked me to send him some sheets. Gus called me because he wanted his Iron Maiden and Death Note posters to decorate his loft space-posters he would later on end up leaving there as he tip-toed out one morning to move to Fairbanks Ave. And he sent me a picture of his artfully arranged space. He looked forward to living and working with people he trusted and enjoyed. He was very proud of having his own place. He texted me a photo of his bedroom area (no walls, remember)-all neatly set up with a neon sign and a pink bedcover.
Now, at 443 South San Pedro St., Gus could have his own bed to lay his head on, and a space of his own in a collective-where he would have friends and collaborators to not only keep him from feeling lonely and scared but to inspire him to create, grow-and teach others about what he was learning. Gus had been couch-surfing for nearly two months, making new friends, making music, carrying most of what he had with him in Los Angeles around in his backpack. He was so excited to be moving into what he basically felt was an artists’ workshop-a sort of atelier where he could work and play with all of his friends and collaborators.
He told me how there was a neat roof that you could go up on and hang out.

He told me how beautiful the space inside was-the big open floor plan, the big windows and the beautiful view. He told me all about Skid Row, about the hundreds of tents. He called me one night to tell me all about it. Gus was immensely proud and excited to move into the loft. Gucci Mane was created on July 31-about a week or so after Gus, Nedarb, LeDerrick (who had produced Crybaby and all of Teen Romance two months before), and Tracy moved in. The first Hellboy track-Gucci Mane-was created at a big, open space known as “the loft,” located at 443 South San Pedro Street, in the heart of L.A.-smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles’s famous Skid Row. Some producers were still emailing Gus beats but the core group worked right alongside Gus-Nedarb, Smokeasac, Cortex, Horsehead. Hellboy, like Crybaby, was made using Garage Band on Gus’s laptop. These young men sampled some great, classic guitar riffs and combined them with the signature 808s for Gus to lay his vocal on and really wobble your rear view mirror. The songs Gus chose to make Hellboy arose from his work with a small group of producers. Hellboy is a gritty, raw, and very intense piece of work in which Gus expresses feelings of anger, sorrow, loneliness, and determination. And certainly many of Gus’s fans became fans because of Hellboy. Some people say Hellboy was Gus’s “breakthrough” mixtape.
