Fetty Wap's Unbelievable Breakout Year, In His Own Words

It's #2015Breakout Week at Fuse.tv, and we're officially celebrating Fetty Wap Day. All together now: Yeahhhhhh, baby! The 24-year-old MC behind Top 10 smashes "Trap Queen," "679" and "My Way" came onto the scene more fully formed and fully unique than almost any artist in recent memory. To start processing his massive 2015, we're turning to Fetty himself, in his own words, through a series of interviews and appearances he's done this year. You can also join us in assessing Fetty Wap by the numbers in this one easy infographic.

On being interviewed: “I’m not really like, an explaining type of guy.” [Spin, November]

On his history with music: “I didn’t listen to music that much when I was young. It wasn’t until I found out about Gucci Mane. That was really when I got into music.” [Vibe, June]

On his casual approach to songwriting, which he's pretty new at: “I first started doing music only like two years ago. I'm not really into the whole lyrics thing, I just like to make music that people like to listen to. I don't concept all of my music on one thing. It takes a lot of people hours to make music because they focus so much on one thing. I just do it and I make something you can just vibe to. I feel like when it's time for me to make, like, better lyrics and give people stories or whatever, I'll know when it's time for that." [Billboard, March]
