The White Iverson rapper moved to Salt Lake City from Los Angeles three years ago, and has been traveling back and forth between both cities while working on his highly anticipated upcoming album.

"The move to Utah has made things a lot better for my mental health. It’s been very, very good," Post said. "It’s something I had to do because LA was kicking my ass. So it is tough, but it is worth it."
