The track gives shout outs to rappers like Childish Gambino, Kanye West, and Odd Future, who, like Archie, are known to be from more comfortable backgrounds than most rappers. “This song deals with a growing demographic of minorities that grew up ‘well-off.’ We all listen to the Jay Z’s and Eminem’s but for the most part we can’t really relate to everything these guys talk about on record. I just wanted to tell our story on wax, to bring that to light.” “40 Acres” can be found on the upcoming mixtape The Greatest Pretender, out later this month.
