Like first of all, 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.760 how long like did you start rapping? Like how long 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.440 has it been since you kind of first started taking 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:28.960 this serious? 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:35.320 So probably like seven years ago. 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.720 But that was when I first started rapping and I 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.160 was in a group of three people. It was three 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.960 of us, and I was like I always say this, 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.280 it's just funny because I was like the least favorite 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.200 in the group. Was because I didn't rap. They forced 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.800 me to get on the song because I set up 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.080 the studio session for them because I'm like, yo, you guys, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.600 after I got expelled from the English school in two 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.960 months of being there, I'm like, yo, you guys are sick, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.320 Like you guys keep freestyling the hood, and I see 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.600 the potential and them, I set up a studio session 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.560 and then they went they did their first song. Yeah, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.800 and I'm like, fuck, I never even wrapped the day 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.040 of my life. I don't know how to do. I 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.640 alven know any flows. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:17.080 Nothing. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.240 I did my first song, and that's how my flow 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:20.800 came about. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.320 Was it nothing? I thought of nothing? 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.200 It was just your first song, you automatically. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.960 Yeah, it was just how I said it. I kind 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.200 of premeditated nothing, you know. So yeah, that was my 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:32.760 first song. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.920 And then from there we had it. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.400 We gained a little traction, and then we just kept going, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.680 dropping a song probably every three months. And then we 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.720 all got arrested together in a raid, and then we 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.160 became cold cues, so then we couldn't make music together. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.400 So then cold cues were like, when let's say me 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:54.360 and you, we get you. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:55.800 Guys aren't allowed to legally hang out here. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.800 Yeah, none of that.
