It’s not all bad for Taylor, though. His time inside gaming could always lead to future business opportunities – much like the way Internet Money formed.

“[Internet Money co-founder Nick Mira and I] actually met playing Call of Duty. That’s kind of where it started, and what stood out to me is they never talked to me about music shit, and they didn’t care because it was always on some other shit,” Taylor told HipHopDX in November. “It became about music as it grew into something else. I just wanted to build something like a group of friends.”
The positive test comes amid a huge spike in cases across the country and a strict lockdown in Taylor’s current city of Los Angeles. Put in place Sunday night (December 6), residents of the Southern California city no longer have the option to dine out, get a haircut, get their nails done or go to museums, among other restrictions.
