Antidepressant - Sterling Hayes
Antidepressant

Sterling Hayes debut album, released on April 11th, 2016. The title and subject matter comes from Sterling (and his mother’s) struggles with depression, and told Noisey that he—and his family—have been on antidepressants for years: It’s hereditary. My mom, my aunt, cousins… like 20 percent of my family takes them. The actual prescription is on the cover of the album. I just remember that being strong. Being in middle school [he was in 7th grade], taking strong-ass pills. Kids shouldn’t be taking that, it’s for adults. I also have dance music and shit. [He turns to Diego] Yo, Diego, what’s the most Chicago track we got? I think “Fuck It.” The self-loving tracks were just me and my man Diego having fun with life. Just doing drugs. Did some Xans. Got drunk, made some trap shit, mainstream shit. Just so I can let my fans know when they hear my music that I’m from Chicago. This album, along with the copious drug use throughout it, was his way of dealing with depression: “It took music. That’s how I found self-worth.”
