We had the good fortune of connecting with Roper Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Roper, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
In order to not feel bored to death i need to be taking risks. The risks don’t always have to be parachuting out of an airplane, it can be something smaller like not scanning an item at self checkout. When it comes to producing music i feel the same way. If i’m not working with different artists challenging myself to figure out new ways to put them in a good light i’m not completely satisfied.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I dropped Infinite Victory Loop, Planet Unfaithful, Back To Blocked, and Recap in 2023 but i’m looking forward to the projects I’m about to drop with YL, Lungs and Fatboi Sharif. I got a song i did with Siifu that the world needs. I’m always excited for what’s next. I just got the green light to send beats to one of my favorite artists so the future looks fun.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When the homies pull up and want to go out i send the signal up and see what the moves are for the night. The Spot is ever-changing. Sometimes it’s somewhere in Jersey, sometimes its the city for the night.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to wifey for dealing with me listening to my next project in the living room over and over until it drops.
