Obviously know what I'm saying. It's 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.680 very autobiographical. But I also figured it'll be an acronym, 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.559 you know, manifest everything avoid negativity really because I like 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:38.920 manifested this project, you know what I'm saying. First of 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.800 all is produced by Scott Storge, all of it, all 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.720 of it. Well, to be technical, there's two songs on 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.120 there that Scott Storge didn't do, but he oversaw the 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.559 whole process. It's fifteen songs, two bonus tracks, and then 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.080 thirteen records with the last two is not Scott. Shout 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.480 out my boy Pyro who did that. But yeah, it's 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.320 basically produced by Scott Storge. I work with him the 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.120 first time. It was like, I want to say, twenty 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.200 seventeen or something. We just did like one joint you know, 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.080 through Steve Lobell and stuff. Steve shout out to Steve 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.560 and I was like, man, he might be the one, 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.520 you know. I was looking for that like that production. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.480 And I left that session like, Yo, this guy. Don't 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:17.640 know how I can get him to do a whole 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.280 album because he ain't cheap, you know what I'm saying. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.039 But I'm like, Yo, this is the guy for me, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.360 you know what I'm saying. I feel like he has 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.600 that balance. Obviously he's a gold producer. Long story short, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.000 it happened, you know what I mean, like a year 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.040 and a half. Two years later, we kind of reconnected 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.360 through like my new partners and everything, and they had 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.400 a great relationship and they kind of reintroduced me to 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.800 Scott like Yo, let's not just sell us a beat, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.440 like this is really our guy, you know what I mean, 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.640 in our community, to Armenian and they're like, Yo, this 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.360 is really our guy. We got his back and like, 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.120 let's work, and one thing led to another. We did 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:48.800 the whole project. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.080 Do you have to pay for all the beats? 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.480 Not? Well, no one works for free, right, you know 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.200 what I'm saying. So, but it's like we gave him 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.480 a fee love. We gave him a fee and just like, 0:01:58.720 --> 0:01:59.880 let's work. You know what I'm saying. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.880 You didn't you got you got the homie rate, super 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.080 homy rate, super homie because he is Scott Storge. Beats 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:05.600 ain't cheap. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:10.640 Yeah, man, that's my dog. Thank you, Scott. I appreciate it. Yeah, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.800 but yeah, he he also got excited though. Once we 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.519 started working. He's like, oh, okay, like you know what 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.760 I'm saying. We started really having records. Once I finished 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.960 like the French Joint, he was like, bro, you have 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.200 a smash on your hand. Then I brought Nos to 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.680 the studio. He's like, hold on Nos coming to the studio. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.040 You know what I'm saying. So once we started working, 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.560 he started seeing like what I'm doing and you know 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.440 what I mean, how I'm putting everything together, and he 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:33.680 started respecting it more and more. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.440 Yeah, because only the album you got nas, you got Quavo, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.200 you got Offset. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:43.480 Right, it's a ridiculous track list. I got Nas, Quavo, Offset, YG, 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.240 metha Man Kebbacca, Pyramid shot to myth. Hell yeah, shout 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.240 out to Meth. That was the easiest one. There's just 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.640 one DM And two weeks later it was in my 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.160 in my inbox. He always showed me love, but I 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.440 didn't you know, I wasn't sure. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:58.359 That's crazy. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.880 Yeah, uh, j Wheremiah French? 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.960 You put the Lebron record on the bonus? 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.799 Yeah? To the two bonus tracks is King James with 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.359 Jeremiah and the yallab with French. I call it bonus 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.239 because I mean they were made during that process, but 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.240 we had alread dropped them, so you know, I kind 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.880 of put them as a bonus. But that King James 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.000 joint is still my highest stream It don't stop. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.160 You know, I feel like it. I feel like it's 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.080 it was. It's like a sync record for like the 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.440 playoffs and ship. Yeah. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.799 Last last year ESPN synced it. Yeah, was playing it 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.120 during the games. You know. It's always like a time 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.000 lit it. They licensed it for like three months. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.119 Is that like the best way to make money off 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.520 the actual song outside of streaming is that. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.160 I've had some good money off Like the ESPN on 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.600 was cool to be honest, but like commercials. You can 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.440 get your ship in a commercial that like plays a 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.920 few Netflix like TV shows and stuff I've had too 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.240 in the past. Yeah, that not only like the money 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.440 they pay, but it just brings awareness, you know, like 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.680 people that shit pops up on one of your most 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.640 streamed songs because people she exam it and you know 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.000 what I mean. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.600 Have you ever done any ghostwriting for anybody? 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.600 No? No, not really? Would you ever do it? Yeah? 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.280 People songs? Yeah, I feel like local people, but I 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.240 don't really but not really. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.920 You know, I'm not not like super like Yeah you know, yeah, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.520 I kind of haven't really focused on that. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.640 I feel like it's been mentioned to me multiple times, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.080 you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, that might be 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:27.920 a thing to look into. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.320 Especially for these a lot of these rappers you need 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:30.240 help with the verses. Man. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.040 It's just weird. Though, if you're like an m c 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.039 MC then usually I'm sure people do, but it's kind of. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:37.760 Weird if it's not weird anymore. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.000 Yeah, I don't know. I guess I'm from that cloth 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:40.480 where like. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.279 You could write a song for like Coiler Ray. 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.640 Yeah, of course, but that wouldn't be like bars. They 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.240 would be so cool. Yeah, shout out the Coiler Yeah, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.840 I never met her. She's fan, she's she's fire. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.640 She posted a great photo on the on the graand 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:57.760 today did she Yeah, she had the yeah, my guy. Yeah, 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.440 I'm surprised she didn't get check it out. Community guidelines 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.400 yanked that thing down. I'm surprised anyway. Yo. So the 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.640 Armenian genocide anniversary date was recently recently, it's on April 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.880 twenty fourth every year. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.920 You know, I always been super involved in that, you 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.240 know what I'm saying. Like, you know, every Armenian kind 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.120 of grew up learning about this, about how it's not recognized, 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.520 and you know, anything unrecognized, you basically give people the 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.360 right to do it again. So history repeats type of thing, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:30.960 you know what I'm saying. So this is something that 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.960 you know, we all in our households have been really taught. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.799 So from early on, I was at protests and things 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.960 like that, you know, And then when I started rapping, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.479 I'm like, yo, I was kind of, you know, the 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.320 first Armenian to really rap. I literally was the first. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.200 Now there's obviously more people, but no one yet at 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.920 this level. But I was like, yo, I gotta tell 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.680 the story of my people, you know. So I did 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.039 a song called open Wounds, and then you know, we 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.120 printed these shirts that said our wounds is still open 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.240 and award in the video it was actually the ten 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.320 year anniversary this here for that of that shirt of 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.640 the whole thing at a video to shirt.

You had almost 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.600 did something with eminem back in the day. Yeah, but 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:53.960 today that's crazy. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.760 Probably the craziest almost story was Nipsey because I had 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.760 just just started working with Scott. I didn't have literally 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.640 none of these features yet we just start cooking up 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.560 and my partners. You know that's from the Cannabis game. 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.800 He just randomly brought up like, you know, I'm mad 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.400 cool with Nipsey and the team. And this is when 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.480 Victory lat was everywhere and Nipsey my favorite rapper, like 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.840 especially then right that album, Like I was like, yo, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.320 Nipsey to one, and he's he called him right on 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.000 the spot, you know what I'm saying. And he's like, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.400 you know, we work in this and this and that. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.680 Let me introduce you to my guy, you know, so 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.640 briefly introduced us. We started slowly building that relationship. Never 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.920 met in person yet, right, and then he connected me 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.840 one of his team members. I send the record over 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.280 and he hit me back saying, Yo, nip fucks with it. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.800 You know, he's down to do it. I'm like, Yo, 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.960 if it's possible, I'm trying to be in the studio, 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.680 all these features except Meth and French, all the other 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.040 industries in the studio together. You know what I'm saying. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.560 It's a different energy, bro. Like I feel like the 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.160 NAS record would have wouldn't have been that if it was. 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.080 If you guys weren't vibing with each other on. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.640 The hook together and shit like that. So you know, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.720 if I can, which nowadays obviously not easy, especially for 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.560 like a big artist like that. But anyway, I asked 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.040 him and he's like, yeah, no problem, I'm gonna hit 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.840 you, you know, top of the week and we set it 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.840 up and that Sunday he got he got killed. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:10.520 Bro damn. 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.400 Yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy story. So yeah, rest in peace, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.600 Rest in peace. Besides that, yeah, I've been around a 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.960 lot of people and it's like, you know, me and 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.040 Ross talked about doing something at one point. You know, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.480 I learned like, you can't take too long when these 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.880 opportunities come take off. We talked about this in the 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.800 last interview. It was a brief como with takeoffs like YO, 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.120 send me something. Because I offset and I had Quavo. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.680 I'm like, Yo, you the only MiG I and do 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.720 a record with yet you know what I mean. He's like, Yo, 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.000 what we're doing is send me something. And I lagged 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.640 on it, you know what I'm saying. But it's not 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.280 just because I lagged. It's like I felt like I 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.800 didn't have the right record yet because I hate having 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.080 mediocre records. I see this all the time with a 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.040 big name for sure, and you click on it. It's 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.080 like it's cool. That doesn't do nothing for you, you 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.480 know what I mean, for your career. But the way 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.360 to smash if you have really something undeniable and then 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:00.440 you have a big on. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.920 It it just helps. Then you got something, you know 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.560 what I'm saying, You have a this is a one 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.920 of one jacket you have on yes, sir, okay. So 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.439 when Jeff Hamilton, when he does so, how much is 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:12.000 this jacket? 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.560 So basically this this jack is kind of a funny story. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.600 Jeff Hamilton is my man, Like I got in a 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.800 couple of jackets and I got introduced to him through 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.239 some mutual friends and we became homies. And then one 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.280 day I had a video shoot with be Real for 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.439 a song called Godflows, and b Real Studio is literally 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.080 maybe a block or two away from Jeff Hamilton's like 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.400 showroom store or whatever. So I hit Jeff. I'm like, yo, 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.280 you think I can borrow a jacket for the shoot? 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.520 He's like, h of course, come through. So I go 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.000 over there and my boy found this one kind of 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.560 hanging in the corner. It's like a one of one custom, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.880 you know what I mean. He's like, yeah, I did 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.760 that for a rapper. I don't have to mention him. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.879 But he's like, basically he ordered it, but then he 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.920 never picked it up. You know what I'm saying, ten 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.480 thousand dollars. But he's like, I don't care to me. 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.520 My jacket's are art, you know, I hang them up. 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.600 I don't give discounts this and this and that. So 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.280 I'm like he's like, yeah, take it for the video. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.040 I'm like, perfect, this is a perfect vibe for the 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.720 be Real video. This that I went we shot the video. 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.040 On the way back we go to drop it off, 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.800 my boy's like the whole time during the shoot, my 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.600 boy's like, Yo, this shit is too fire, Like I 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.359
