0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>to bring Haiti Baby on the show because about a

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>year and a half ago, a year and some change,

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.159
<v Speaker 1>myself and DJ Head we're doing a radio show at

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Real ninety two to three, and that radio show had

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>we had all kinds of guests, you know, a shout

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>out to my partner Head. You know, I'm no longer

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>at the radio stage, but me and Head we did

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>some real historical shit while we were together Real ninety

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>two three, and one of the most viral moments that

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we had was having an artist named Haiti Baby come

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>on to the the show and freestyle, and the freestyle

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>was extremely different. We'll just say that everyone should go

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>look up Haiti Baby freestyle, and I mean everyone was

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>tweeting about it. Meet Mile Chance, the rapper, Rihanna, Chrissy Tigan.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:20.080

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.680

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>be like I could stop making music next year and

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>my name would still pop up somehow, and that just

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>keeps people like, oh I never heard the cale me

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>check on the Spotify and streams go up like the

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>pros and cons to the free to the freestyle. When

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I wrote out my own list about it, it it was

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>so many pros, like it was so much positivity came after,

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>like I went gold because of that. I gained one

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty two followers because of it. So it's

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>just it was a weird experience. I came to you

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>with fifty k followers. Yeah, so she went up after that.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>That was dope. It was I mean, I got I

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>got bashed for what I got, But I've never been

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>the type to run away from pressure. It's probably because

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I played sports most likely, but shit, it is what

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>it is, and I'm looking forward to I'm looking forward

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 1>to my future because I'm just evolving now as a man. Yeah,

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy because you know I remember just like when

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Deesus and Merrill talked about it on showtime and then

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>like you said, Rihanna Christy Tigan was like she she

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>was like she was the biggest. I don't know, but

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>she was like going going hard for that freestyle. She

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, I can't stop watching it. Yeah, a lot

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of artists had some good comments, Swaly, Mick Mill posted it,

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike Mill posted it. But a lot of the newer

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>generational artists had a lot of good comments. Of course,

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>old heads say feedback always go be stern. Yeah, there's

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>either with that though. Yeah, there's some people who say

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.159

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.080

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>thought it was fucking crazy, the best right right right?

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Hey take it you hate it, Aleven, I don't really

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:16.800

<v Speaker 1>in like giving me free game, a lot of advice,

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>giving me books to read, oh wow, not giving me books,

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>like telling me some books I should look up, like

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>just an uncle in the industry. You know what I'm saying. Now,

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>how me and jack Boy man? Of course he signed

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the Empire. Of course, you know family business probably linked

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>up guys like everything else but what artists realized. You know,

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in the in the industry. I

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>always say, oh, these rap niggas fake, it's faking the game.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>But it's up to who you mess well with. So

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I messed well with Jack. You know. That's that's my

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that's me personally. Me and him meshed well. So that's

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>why it sinks so good. On track, did you make

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 1>a conscious effort to only have Haitian's featured on the album?

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Or was that by coincidence? By coincidence? Okay see her line?

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh fuck, but yeah, so it was coincidence. I mean,

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>ship talk about the title trap art because I feel

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like you're, like you said, you're like an artist artist,

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you could really do anything. And I feel like that's

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of a dope title for if you were to

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>just kind of boxing your genre, give it a name. Yeah,

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>but trap in my generation is always thought. When you

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.439
<v Speaker 1>think of trap, you think of like Damn South. Of course,

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you think it like g z T exactly. My version

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>of trap is like the West Coast Trap, the sugar Free,

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the two Shirts of the world. And you know what

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying stuff like that, and artistic side is just

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>me being me. That's what you get just me being me.

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 1>I may one track, I may do something, you know

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, or go or stay standard. You never

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>know what you give with me. Do you think that

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say being out of Stockton and stocked

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in for people who don't know, is it's in northern California.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>There's some other artists out of stocked in there doing

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that thing. And now there's more too. It's more too.

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>But do you do you think that it's like harder

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>coming out of a city like Stockton to break in

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the industry because it's it's not reckoned like you know,

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>when people think of California outside of California, they think

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>of La or San Francisco, and that's it me and

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.079
<v Speaker 1>now making it easy for cats. We open the door.

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.599
<v Speaker 1>It's up to them to kick it down. You know

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Kick down all the hinges. You know

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, We open the door. So it's nothing's

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>easy in life, but that's a part of success. You

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>have to be uncomfortable. You have to be comfortable being

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable basically, you know what I'm saying. So I give

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of game on my page. I show y'all.

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I show y'all me working out all the time. I

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>show y'all me in the studio. So it's like, yeah,

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>people gotta just pay attend to the work ethic because

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm with Empire, So I'm I'm going through artists development

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>in my internal and external on my own. No one's

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>telling me to do this. I'm doing on my own.

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>You gotta want this, you know. You can't just wake

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>up and I'm gonna be a rapper. Where do you

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>come from? What's your lifestyle do you come You know

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. You gotta make people care, right, it

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 1>got to be believable. One thing about pot he made

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you believe, right, It gave you hope. One thing about

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>jay Z, he rapped with a plan. He always rapped

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>with a plan. So you just got to be prepared

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>when you're coming into this game. So you say, have

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>in tension with everything you do, have intentionally everything you do.

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But I would like to say one thing, you don't

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>just have to be an artist. There's so many positions

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>in this industry. Of course, people think that you if

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you're not like you got to be a rapper. Like,

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>there's so much other shit you could do the most dangerous,

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 1>dangerous position to being right nowadays. Yeah for sure. Yeah, man,

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it's been it's been a crazy look the last few years.

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>There are pet all the ones who passed away to Yeah,

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we've lost a lot of people, man, So your influence

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>has got to be crazy because like you are you

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.839
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Andre earlier. Yeah, you know, when you listen to

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>your music, you could hear some sugar free shit. The

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>freestyle were about to drop. I heard some reminiscent some

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of that. You know what I'm saying. You definitely gonna

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>hear the West Coast talk about your influences. Man, My

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>influence has always changed, if that made any sense. Like,

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I've never listened to jays he until twenty twenty. You

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Really, I never we know, I

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>know his records, but you never like tapped in. Actually, really,

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:09.719
<v Speaker 1>you know you work. I know word for word a

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>couple of songs, but I don't know. I hear what

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you're telling the jay z that you know right right

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>right right, know what I'm saying. I know Nipsey, of course,

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just played to me all the time. I'm from

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the West Coast. I know forty it's played to me

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 1>on the time. It's familiar music. But I started venturing

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>on so this this year I went back into some

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>odies in my catalog that I used to listen to

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that I forgot about, like The Usher's Confession album, fifty

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Cent and Get Rich of Trying, even the Pleasure ple album,

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.560

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Pretty Ricky had a run, man, you know what I'm saying.

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>T Fly Fly Fly another guy who's out of out

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>of LA who I really hoped it would have been bigger,

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>but he definitely kicked down some like Sonic Sonic doors

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of people, Like he was doing a

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of shit. I know, you know when you see

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah the show Now he's an alien for sure. For sure.

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>You talked about Rihanna tapped and then did you have

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>any sort of correspondence with anybody, like did you chop

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it up with Chrissy Teagan or like no, I didn't

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>get no phone calls with the only person that you

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.360

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.320

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.480

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>a coast on. You ain't got to go on the

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.600

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.560

<v Speaker 1>that's that's family right there. Shout out stoky. Are you?

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you a big smoker? I don't smoke when I'm

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>everything about weed. I love it for it. But I'm

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>just going through a personal break because I've been on

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>my workout. So you've been you've been chilling out on

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that has been chilling out, no drinking, no smoking on

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a year not doing nothing. You you've been working out,

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>getting in shape and shit talk about your like, are

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you on any sort of diet or anything, or just

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>just being healthier. My diet five meals a day, not

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>super big place right breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but snacks

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in between, you know what I'm saying. So I had

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to up it because I was working out last year,

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like January until to May, I wasn't seeing no improvement.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe because I was looking in the mirror. Maybe it

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>was illusion. I wasn't see no improvement once I start

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>eating more freaking my water. You know what I'm saying. Well,

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I think people there's like a misconception that if you

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>eat less like you should lose, And obviously, if you're

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>eating a shit ton of food, you'll lose so much

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that you'll hit a you'll hit some sort of WAF.

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I think if you, like you said, those little mini

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>meals kind of help your metallism keep going right, even

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>if you feel like you're fat. This is the thing

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>people feel like we need to stop eating right. That's

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>not gonna work because all your body is doing is

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>eating the muscle. That's what creates more fat. You know

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. You eat and then you work out

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and you're giving your body food and you're now you're

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>working out now, You're giving your time to expand. So

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>no particular diet, just eating better. I'm eating better. I'm

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>just eating You ain't on the Keto wave or no,

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>no ship like that. I don't even know what that is. Keto,

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>just no uh carbs, no sugar off high fat diet.

<v Speaker 1>you or how I mean we're still in the middle

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of a pandemic. Obviously this ain't over yet, but how

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>has it kind of affected the like, like the business

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it kind of like have you noticed any sort of

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>difference in and like maybe momentum or anything like that

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>because of the pandemic, right, Thank god, the industry changed streaming,

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, and the internet, so it's ways around it.

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>If I can't perform in front of your face, I

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 1>can perform all live. We can. Just it's ways around it.

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>But it did affect a lot, because you know, you

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>want that time to go to your fans and grow. Yeah,

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.040

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh I'm gonna go to Houston perform this song and

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 1>get boozed, so you know, like I need to change

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the temper, you know. Yeah, it's kind of part of

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the game, part of the game, and a lot of

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>people missing that part of the game. That's why me,

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like okay, streaming time and I'm just just

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 1>dropping songs, man, just keeping the flood and keeping it flooded.

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.520
