Lil Xan talks about helping younger artists like Fem and Lil Mosey, his early connections to XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD, and the sense of 'divine' talent he felt around them before their deaths.
- Tim on the challenge of identifying who's genuine versus opportunistic in Hollywood
- He takes young artists on tour to help them develop their sound, including a female artist named Fem
- Tim was around Little Mosey before he blew up in Seattle a few years ago
- Picked up XXXTentacion from the airport and stayed in an Airbnb with him early in his career
- Surrounding yourself with successful, talented people rubs off on you
- XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD had a divine energy that made it clear they'd become superstars
- Same divine quality existed in Lil Peep and Mac Miller, artists taken too early
- Tim was casual friends with Mac Miller, hung out with him a few times in public settings
- Great artists often seem to become addicts or struggle with addiction
- Drugs can provide a different perspective on life that might help or hurt the music, but inspiration can be found sober
