Special guests in here represent Philly. Yes, sir, 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.200 my guys man, welcome bro. You already know King of 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.840 battle Rap, the King of battle rap. What makes you 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:21.759 free styles? What makes you the king of battle rap er? 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.120 I've been doing it before battle Leagues was battle leagues. 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:25.720 That's why I'm the King of battle rap. Before they 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.400 start up made it a corporate thing and bring it 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.760 into the building and kind of monetized it. I was 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.880 I was battle rapping. That's how I mean. What is 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.040 about Philly man that the battle rap shit is just 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.519 so like, you know, I feel like you guys are 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.040 just like a walking Smack DVD out there. Yeah, man, 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.800 it's real. The coach is real heavy. Out there is 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.159 a Commonwealth's city, so it's like state and it's just 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.040 like real competitive, and we all bunched in together. It's 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.440 like row houses and so it's people on top of people. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.639 So the competitiveness is real heavy. So when it comes 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.960 to battle rap is real aggressive and sometimes they can 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:04.080 spill out into streets. I technically technically was in Philly once. Okay, 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.759 but it was only because I rode the train through 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.720 from DC to New York. But they did stop. There 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.880 was like a stop in Chester and I looked out 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.679 the window. Chester, Pennsylvania looks like it might be the 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.000 worst place on the planet. No, it is. It's real bad. 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.640 I remember just looking out the window on my train 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.160 and there was like two like naked kids just in 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.520 the streets running around, and I remember being like, where 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.360 the fuck am like a third world country? Put my 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.120 maps on said Chester and then I googled it and 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.679 I was like always lit out here, shout out to Chester, man, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.720 I need to get out to Philly. Hey, what is 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.520 the because I always hear if you go to Philadelphia 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.880 that there is like the tourist cheesesteak spot, but then 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.400 there's like the real spot, right Well, max Max is 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.480 like the spot where you want to go to get 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.560 a real, authentic cheese steak. Gino's is the tourist spots, 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:57.040 So don't go to Gino's. I'm not going belittle any 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.280 landmark in Philly, right It's not what I'm into. What 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.880 I'm just saying overrated. If you want to go get 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.280 authentic cheese steak, go to maxis broadinary. It's almost like 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.840 when people come to LA and they expect Rosco's to 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.600 be like the best food they were eating, and it's like, guys, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.000 it's just do I come here? That's what they say, Like, Bro, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.880 you want to go to rad school? Like it's okay, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.800 But I've been coming out here since the early two thousands, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.959 so I'm like over the like yeah, like the first 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.080 time being out here type shit. So everybody want to 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.560 come that come out La. They want to go to 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.600 rad schools. But it's all right, yeah, I'm saying, but 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.520 if you've been into Atlanta and Glad, it's just the 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.799 same thing. Or if you go to Arizona go to 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.360 Lolos Chicken and Waffles. I would argue to say it's 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.440 the best chicken and waffle spot I've ever had shots 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.639 to Lolos for sure. When did you feel like the 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.640 battle rap shit? Because like you're I feel like you're 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.400 really in your bag right now when it comes to 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.800 like being looked at as like one of the elite 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.440 guys in that world, Like when do you feel like 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.480 you kind of had hit your stride in terms of 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.360 getting your respect in that world? Because it's like a 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:58.360 very it's like almost like a I feel like you 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.880 could be a diehard hip hop head and not know 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.840 what the fuck's going on in the battle rap world 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.000 because they are so different, and it is like such 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.240 a subgenre of It's almost like we have to be 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.000 baptizing the battle rap coature. Now you have to go 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.600 through something. You have to have a near death experience 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.680 or com close to dying from them to even sanctify 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.360 you as being anybody that has any validity of saying 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.960 anything or speaking about battle rap coach. It's that intense, right, 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.520 so I don't speak it. So with that being said, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.200 it's a high regard for battle rappers and their accountability. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.080 So over the weekend it was a battle rap. It 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.240 was a battle big battle League. You were here, that 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.520 was here for that. So it was the Ownership battle League, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.680 which in the main event being a King Bob versus Daylight. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.280 They like being a residence in West Coast, So yeah, 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.040 like a beast, so shot them they like. And we 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.640 are from the same battle rap click which is Dot 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:55.400 Me t Rex, Murder, Moot, Daylight, Big Cannon, real deal. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.000 So is that's a serious crew. You guys are like 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.800 the nWo battle Rap and a lot of flat from 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.760 that from being from Philly and being that as a 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.040 New York based click, but Daylights from l A right, 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.120 so it's all over there. Yeah, is there other clicks 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.840 like that? Yeah? You got gun Titles. You got the Goonies, 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.160 which is aheaded by Twerk. You got gun Titles, which 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.600 was kind of like Coke Coke Coke founded by h 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.680 Tay Rock and sus Surf was so yeah, you got 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.360 little like clicks dark Side, you got a bris Rowstein 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.800 and t Top So it's like little sub clicks and 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.600 what's the name of our nitties from Phoenix?

I like that. See all this ship Like 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.200 I know the names, but bro, I'm not in tune 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.880 with the battleship like that. I just feel like I 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.520 don't have the bandwidth to like learn this. Like when 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.279 I was a kid, I used to download the battles 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.719 on Napster, like when it was like Supernatural and Juice. Yeah, 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.120 those those guys is like almost like ancient artifacts compared 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.080 to where it's at now. And then I would no 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.120 disrespect for those guys. Guys are the fucking goats. They 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.800 are the fucking gods of the ship with the freestyling 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.200 off the top of the dunk ship in the room 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.280 and all that. In the crowd, it's different. It's not 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.279 brand motherfucker's got wavy hair, dreadlocks, bald these these crip 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.360 members is blood members, Latin King Well no, and then 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.440 like there was like the Smack DVD era and like 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.279 I got my name because I used to sell a 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.039 bunch of bootleg mixtapes and and DVDs and ship at 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.520 the Swami, So I was like the Smack DVD eras 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.280 are probably the highest peak of me being like super 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.480 engaged in that ship. And then obviously I know who's 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.440 killing it, Like I know yourself. I know murder Mook 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.320 sues my boy rum Nitti is incredible. Uh. Yeah, there's 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.039 there's guys that, especially Loaded Lux, you know all these guys. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.039 Of course, there are legends that if you're a part 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.320 of the culture, you have to know who they are. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.360 I'm just not I haven't bro I've watched a few, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.120 like in the last year, but like when there's these 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.120 big events, I feel like I'll just catch the highlights 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.159 on Twitter, right, So batter rap it's like a it's 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.880 like a revolving door. So you're only good as your 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.920 last battle and if you don't do very well, they 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.359 put you in a box. So I mean, if you 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.120 don't do other things to h to like to pose that. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.159 So I went and built the whole leverage on the 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.960 other side of the spectrum with my music, reintroducing myself 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.760 as an artist or red and creating myself always into 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.400 the point and putting out a new project where I 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.440 got the battle rap culture and there I got tay 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.520 rock on there, I got method Man, I got Benny 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:40.400 the Butcher, I got a vital Corey Guns, Beanie Siegel Freeway, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.240 I got all of like the top spinners on my Jones. 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.360 So I used that the leverage and the buzz that 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.880 I built with my freestyles on social media and the 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.160 content and uh and and and the projects and the 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.560 materity I was putting out outside of batter rap to 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.640 leverage batter rap to get the bigger bags in the 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.960 bigger looks. Because once you lose in the eyes of 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.880 the culture, they put you in a certain box and 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.960 it's like boxing. You got to climb back up the 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.479 ranks until you get to the top brass and compete 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.160 with like the top tier guys. And if you got 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.360 the catalog, you got the music outside of it. It's 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.720 almost like it it would behoove them to not include 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.640 you and shit, because you got a fan base, you 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.280 running it up on your own, you know what I'm 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.760 saying for sure, and shout out. I mean a lot 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.760 of there is there is a stereotype, and I don't 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.440 know how true it is or not, but back in 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.680 the day, there used to be a lot of the 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.720 guys who did battle rap weren't great at making records. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.440 I mean, that's the number one stigment. And I was 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.840 the guy who bridged that gap gap. I was one 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.440 of the first guys who started out battle rapping on 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.080 the corners of Philadelphia and in front of the Chinese 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.400 stalls and stuff like that, and actually took it corporate 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.160 and made an album and came out with a full 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.720 fledged album and you, I mean was able to you know, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.720 go like walk on, take a walk on both sides 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.520 right and still having a seat planet and battle rap 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.040 coach as well as like mainstream I mean releases and 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.640 stuff like that. Because at two thousand and eight, when 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.560 I battled Mike signed the World Series of Hip Hop, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.200 I was still currently sign a boy and was like 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:06.160 currently like back then, recording for my solo release. My 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.760 son shot Tolf, So yeah, so like that's how far 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.120 I go back, And that was before Smack was created. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.800 At that event, Smack was the actual cameraman. He was 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.000 hired to do a service. So now look at them 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.920 now to where they're a full fledged company and got 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.720 the caffeine dail and all the things they got going on. 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.080 So I was a part of that. I'm a part 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.520 of those building blocks. I just don't get my credit, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.680 but I embraced that fact. So that's why I'm here 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.760 still twenty years later, beating these young opponents up, beating 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.800 a new competition, up, getting there with the youngins. Let 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.040 them know that a guy that's considered some would say 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.680 pass his proms still got enough in the tank to 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.400 get in there and destroy these guys, these young cats.

You linked up with Kanye last year? 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.960 How did that? First of all, that's a big, big connect. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.320 I remember you were supposed to come on the show 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.719 and he was like, bro, I'm with Kanye right now. 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.040 I was like, don't even worry about it. You even 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.559 sent me a pick like believe you don't worry about that. Yeah, no, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.760 because everybody you know, I just want to sorry by 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.400 saying I knew Kanye for over twenty five years, way 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.200 before he was saying I always knew what he was 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.280 going to do. Yeah, I know, always knew he was different. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.120 And just just short story. We had a mutual friend 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.319 playing Pat and Phillris Buler. They there was executives over 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:27.400 def Jam had dropped, so uh, you know we have 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.400 mutual friends and dur like during the recording process, I 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.760 up making the band album. I invited him to the 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.640 to the crib recording and soho at the Double Brownstone. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.040 By chance, mister Bentley said we couldn't have no company. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.960 So I had to tell Kanye he couldn't come in 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.680 and submit beats. And then two years later, mister Bentley 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.040 signed to Good Music. That's so hilarious. I forgot that 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.880 he got signed. I forgot Diddy's assistant had a record 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.440 deal and put out some records. Yep. So that was crazy. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.720 I always me and finds the worth. Always laugh about this. 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.800 You don't even remember when you let Kanye in and 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.560 now you're signing him. That shit's hilarious. So me and 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.880 Kanye had a relationship and by my Instagram a presence 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.720 and just dropping freestyles of being consistent. He's seen one 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.199 of notice styles. He said, Yo, been my bro for 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.640 a minute, come out and gave me an open invitation 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.520 to come you know, some writing sessions with him. Yeah, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.079 so I saw that. You know, there was the I 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.959 don't know if that documentary is ever going to come out, 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.440 but he was previewing a record and you were saying 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.600 that you were on that record with him and Soldier Boy. Yeah. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.600 Well I did some references, so he was actually hearing 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.920 me playing a reference off my phone for him. In 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.160 the footage, he was both in the car and you know, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.000 I mean I forgot he was being taped because he's 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:44.400 being taped filmed all day long. If you're like helping ya, right, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.560 what is the what mind state you have to be in? 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.920 If you're like I have to help the like one 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.440 of the greatest artists of all time. It was just 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.520 it's not like working for Diddy. Working for Ditty is 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.840 like real. So okay, So everybody asked me why I 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.440 put out so much material on why I'm so it 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.400 seems like me, it's an easy transposition for me to 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.920 keep putting out these constant freestyles. Well, when I came 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.920 up in a bad boy system, they used to make 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.280 us write five verses for every verse. So if we 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.040 was doing a three verse song, I would have to 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.200 write five verse fifteen verses per song. Wow, So and 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.560 then you pick the best one, which usually is the 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.560 first fucking verse you wrote, right, So from there you're like, 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.040 so I got thirteen extra I got fourteen extra verses 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:35.000 just just just unused, unused. Do you still do that? Yeah? 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.120 Every now and then. Well, back in the mixtape games, 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.280 with mixtapes for Heavy, I would take the the the 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.320 DJ Sycamores and all those type of guys. So, no 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.120 matter whether I like the beat or not, And this 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.480 is what I got from Diddy. This is one of 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.920 the lessons I got from Diddy. He was like, that's 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.120 just not writing about the writ into the beasts that 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.240 you don't like. He's it's not about writing to the 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.480 beasts that you do like. Try writing to the beats 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.640 that you don't like. So then when you hear a 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.080 beat that you do like, it's like fucking it's like water. Yeah, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.960 so I take I take every beat off the beat 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.400 CD and write it's sixteen to it, no matter whether 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.840 I like it or not. Hey, that's how you sharpen 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.720 your your paying for real, because if you can write 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.720 to some ship you don't fuck with, then if you 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.680 start writing for somebody else and they might not be 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.080 in your bag. Now I got an endless supply material. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.640 So when I do go do these writing sessions, it's 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.200 not me physically half of the right now you can 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.000 just I'm just pulling it out. I'm just pulling ideas 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.200 out from everywhere. Wow, that's that's crazy. Uh, you got 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.080 the new project out? Sure? Is this a mixing? This 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.440 is a mixtape? Shut up, everybody. I know everything is digitized. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.840 I'm kind of one of those guys that's like coming 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.120 into the new fruition of the where whereas on Spotify 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.480 is we were trying to get that up and running down. 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.920 But this is what I was everywhere here boy says, 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.880 it's everywhere. But as as an artist that's been around, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.200 has been seasoned, I didn't come and like, come into 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.280 the game around you know this era, right. So me 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.360 and my team, we're still in under construction, figured out 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.240 I got to get a distroc kid account. That easy? No, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.480 it is that easy? Is that easy? He's like, Bro, 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:11.800 we got But everybody that said, why you got thatsaur nostalgia? 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.960 You're not a I'm not a Dinostaur.

I used to go to the actual 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.960 hard copy and I used to buy these jewel cases 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.960 and burn these CDs and print these covers in my parents' bedroom. Yep. 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.560 So this is not saying I'm outdated. This is paying 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.360 homage to where I came from. Physical products.
