In an interview with the New York Times Ocean also said those meetings:
So stories like that influence a song like that. I used to go to the meetings and hear these stories from the addicts – heroin and crack and alcohol. When I knew him, he was a mentor for the NA and the AA groups.
In his early-20s, he had a host of problems with addiction and substance abuse. In an interview with The Guardian Ocean stated how his grandfather influenced the record:įor a song like Crack Rock, my grandfather, who had struggled to be a father for my mum and my uncle … his second chance at fatherhood was me.
On the 9th track off channel ORANGE, Ocean speaks about a man overcome by an addiction to crack cocaine, and comments on the issues of the so-called “War on Drugs” in America.
