Tim Weah has just dropped a new interview with Hypebeast FR which delves into the teenage USMNT sensation's love of music, style and beyond.

Accompanied by a visual lookbook of the PSG forward that firmly establishes him as one of the sauciest players out, the interview covers everything from Weah's favourite rappers, brands, and budding relationship with Neymar.

Weah also touches on his FIFA rating, which he describes as "wrong", favourite food "Chicken Rice & Peas", and his multicultural background, "My mother is Jamaican, my father is Liberian, I was born in New York but I also have a French passport."

On the weight of his father's reputation:

"It can involve more pressure. But I feel that in everything we do, there is pressure. I'm 18 and I'm expected to become a great player, a great player. I'm one of the best of my generation, I was on the Golden Boy list ... I always have a weight to wear when I'm in the field. Even if it's harder for me, I do what I have to do. You can not wait for your dreams, you have to go get them. Whether it is me or other players my age, we will have to fight to be on the ground and stay there. In any case it is difficult to win his place at PSG so I better be ready and motivated."

On producing his own music:

"We will try to release it soon. It's been a long time working on it. Since I'm a pro, I have a lot of free time and it's time that I spend a lot of time in the studio. We register at Tefa, the creator of Sutherkane where Sofiane and other artists record so we often train there. I try to take inspiration from them and learn as much as possible. I work hard and I hope to leave a quality piece very soon."

On his favourite musicians:"It's rare but when I listen to it it's Ninho, Hamza from Belgium, Niska ... I choose their favorite sounds, I rarely listen to the albums in full. I mostly listen to US music, because I can understand it more easily. I listen to a lot of underground artists like Jermaine Elliott who is a friend of New York. He is really talented. I'm listening a lot to FRVRFriday too, I think he's from Toronto. Then I also listen to popular artists like Chris Brown, Drake, Travis Scott, XXXTentacion, Ski Mask The Slump God, Kehlani, Jorja Smith ..."

On the most stylish players he knows:

"Neymar obviously has a place in this ranking. I know a player who hides his game is Thilo Kehrer, he is really stylish. Kimpembe and Rabiot also have a taste for dressing. Adrien is more elegant than streetwear but he is good at it. That's about all (laughs). In Ligue 1, there is also Memphis which is certainly one of the hottest style level."

On his friendship with Neymar:

"He's a cool guy, a very good mentor and I have a lot of respect for him. I would like to thank him for his role as big brother with the young players in the team and his positive attitude on a daily basis. I learn alongside the best in the world, I can not dream better."

On his FIFA 19 rating:

"I will work to have a better overall score. But I think they were wrong for my speed. I have 82 in FIFA but I am much faster than that. Some defenders are faster than me in the game, it's not possible (laughs). But I do not worry. Anyway, it will be up to me to clarify things on the ground."
