Recently Jarren Benton dropped off his new EP, Slow Motion, and in a press run for the new project the Funk Volume rapper took a trip to the HNHH offices to discuss the EP.

Although Jarren is anything but a 'slow' rapper, he explains that the title of his EP actually pays homage to his late manager who passed away. Jarren also speaks on his writing process, which is basically solitary confinement. The rapper says he needs to be completely alone with the beat to get his inspiration.

We had to ask Jarren about his labelmate Hopsin's recent prank, where he told fans rather convincingly that he was leaving the rap game forever, only to come back a few days later and announce a new LP. Jarren explains the backstory from the FV perspective, revealing that the rapper let his team know a hoax was about to go down via a conference call.

Finally, the rapper discusses the Funk Volume family and what it's like to chill with each rapper on the team, from Dizzy Wright to SwizZz.
