When you start something, finish it. See it through for your self-discipline. Learn the power of holding yourself accountable. Feel how great you feel when you complete something you’ve put your mind to.

Rapper Pk Delay has achieved a feat. The 25-year-old Pittsburgh native released a song-a-day the entire year of 2019. That’s 365 songs. Can you name something you did consistently every single day for 365 days? What about for 100 days?

Celebrate Pk for keeping his word and expanding upon his work ethic. During video games of Madden and NBA 2K20, while Pk made life very rough for me as I played and lost against him twice, he took time to detail his thoughts about his year-long process.

Read Mr. 365’s interview below, and at the end, listen to the playlist Pk curated himself of his favorite songs he released this year.

InTheRough: Describe where you were personally and professionally when you made your hit song “Fed Up.”

Pk Delay: I was still living with my parents when I did “Fed Up.” I actually did “Fed Up” maybe four years ago for real. I just sat on it. I was just ‘fed up.’ I feel like everything was the same. It was a feeling I was feeling.

ITR: Have you ever quit anything before, like gave up on something?

Pk: I rage quit on video games.

ITR: [laughs] He said rage quit.

Pk: Yeah, I rage quit in Madden. I don’t really quit anything though. I don’t quit sports. I try to quit bad habits and shit. I quit smoking.

ITR: How long has that been?

Pk: Two years-three years.

ITR: Do you have a favorite song of your 365?

Pk: I like “IM HERE.” I like “EVIL VS YOUNGER SELF.” I like that shit where I get real deep and spiritual with it. I know you were a big “No Lil Pups” fan.

ITR: I was a big “No Lil Pups” fan.

Pk: Which song do you like now?

ITR: I like that track you have with $toney and Pet Zebra— “The Boy.”

What has dropping a song every day for a year taught you about yourself?

Pk: Stick to my word. Stay loyal to myself. If I say I’m going to do something, do that shit no matter what it is. I want people to say anything that came out of my mouth is something I did. Me saying something so bold like 365 songs in a year I’m going to make it happen. Stay dedicated. I had all of those qualities, but the main thing is sticking to things I say I will do.

ITR: What’s your deal with jeans. You have a lot of song titles with the word ‘jeans.’ You got “My Jeans” and “Skinny Jean Thuggin’.”

Pk: I got a lot of jeans in my wardrobe. The “My Jeans” song was because I bought a new pair of jeans and somebody told me they were looking hard. I always make songs about clothes and swag. The “Skinny Jean Thuggin’” I just did that ‘cause I like skinny jeans.

ITR: That whole project—”Pittsburgh City Limits”— was hard.

Pk: I fuck with that heavy.

ITR: It was quality all around. Everybody on that project should have been on that project and everybody brought their A-game. One800 brought the production value.

Pk: They brought that out.

ITR: I noticed you’ve uploaded some older tracks you once released years ago, like “Ain’t Nothin” with Slicky Williams.

Pk: Yeah, I know I have a lot of fans who haven’t heard some of that stuff. Sometimes I hop into the catalog I’m like, “I know niggas never heard this. Let me throw that shit in there.” [Pk sings “Ain’t Nothin” and I join in]. Is that what you got going on? Is that what you’re into? Slick always do that shit.

ITR: What, delete songs?

Pk: Yeah, but I respect it. I wish I could do that.

ITR: I mean you’re about to with all these songs from this year that you will delete on January 1, 2020.

Pk: Yup. Put a whole project up. Take it down.

ITR: Talk about the producers you work with.

Pk: My main guys for real: dirtbag, DV and Bill$up. DV is the main one for real. He supplies me with the most heat. Then there’s the ID Labs fellas. As far as picking the music, I just go with what I feel when I hear it. I like bass. I like shit I can get emotional on.

ITR: Yeah, I’ve seen you drop a lot of freestyles.

Pk: A lot of freestyles off the top of my head.

ITR: How do you feel now since you’ve reached your goal of releasing a song a day for a year straight?

Pk: Feels like it’s time to restore myself.
