You know what I'm saying. I don't have 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.959 to break in the rules no more because I have 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.400 a career and a wife and a ship that like, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.160 you know what I mean, it's worth it. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.560 Have you been wrapping this whole time? Like while you're 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.520 mixing it up getting in jail, but going to prison 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:08.400 this whole time, you're. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.320 I've been rapping for four years, you know what I 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.320 mean professionally, but. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.320 I just mean in general. Are you always writing raps 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.199 like fucking around? 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.240 Yeah, but I don't write Okay, it's off the top. Yeah, 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:19.960 I keep up all in my head. But like, yeah, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.360 I've been rapping and making songs for the whole time. Yeah, 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:23.400 since Juvenile Hall. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.800 So what made like you actually get in the studio 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.920 and be like, yo, let me fucking see if I 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.080 could actually make some show. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.640 One of my one of my older homegirls from the hood, 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.480 she was like, browdy, I gotta get you in touch 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.880 with my son. He's a promoter at the time, he 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.160 was a promoter, my manager up, my manager Ocho. He 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.080 was doing big events like throwing pretty much parties, but 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.240 their events because they're held that venues or shit like that. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:54.000 So I was like all right, Like because her, I 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.480 trust her word. Like so many people told me like, oh, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.520 I need to introduce you to this person, like you're 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.439 hard and blah blah blah. But like everybody that tells 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.120 me that, I'm just looking at him like okay, well, 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:06.800 what's stopping you from doing that? Like you know what 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.440 I mean, Like you're bullshitting, like I don't believe nothing 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:14.200 nobody says but her. I value her opinion and her word, like, 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.360 you know, I trust her. So I was like, all right, bet, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.679 where's he introduced me to? So then when she introduced 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.679 me to them, he's all like, bro, you're hard, Like 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.760 I got to get you in the studio with my artists. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.959 I was like, all right, let's do it, you know 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.640 what I mean. And who's the other artist King most wanted? 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.960 At the time, he had like five artists. I think 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:38.800 King most wanted girls, Little dev mcm Raymond Huhim, and 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.880 Kater Bandit. So I introduced all the guys, you know 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.080 what I mean, and it was like it was a 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.840 trip because they're all black, you know what I mean. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.880 I'm Mexican, you know what I mean. But I wrap 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.880 like up there with them. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.840 But you also like I feel like you're like if 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.160 you were listening to your ship and you didn't see. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.000 What exactly exactly. 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.760 Like I see the music video, I see your Mexican guy, 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.840 but if I was just listening, I wouldn't even exactly. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.599 So they were like fucking with me heavy, you know 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.240 what I mean. From there, it was just like Bam, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.640 we just clicked. I was rolling with them all the time. Yeah, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.560 you know what I mean. So but at that time, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.720 in the beginning stages, like I said, we weren't my 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.080 manager wasn't balling yet nothing like we were just like 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.800 starting off, you know what I mean. And then I 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.160 did a couple of events and then bam, I got busted. 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.040 That's into prison. So I did like two years and 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.160 shit I got out and then right back up. Yeah 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.640 I got out. But by that time they were cracking. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.440 But what they what they busted you for, was it 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.480 just like you were wanted, like you had war weapons. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.800 So it was like probation violation firearms. Yeah, that's so 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.080 fucking crazy. You can't protect yourself in LA or Cali, doc, 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.120 Yeah you can't. They make it impossible for you to 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.560 get a fucking gun out of here, even if you 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.920 ain't got priors. It's like you gotta jump through hoops. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.400 That's why I mean, I never got my California license, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.880 have my Arizona license. So they get pulled over. Ah, 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.200 I didn't know I'm here visiting. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.839 Yeah yeah, right, that's good luck with that. Well, you 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.360 might have a better chance than I was. 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:13.760 Yeah, fair enough. This guy's got priors. Yeah, that's what's up. Man. 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.800 So you get out and you get right back to 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.480 the rapping shit. You're married, no, but. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.800 Yeah, see this time when I got out, the label 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.360 was popping, you know, the label that we started off with, 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.439 like it was every artist had over a million views. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.560 That we have money, you know. So my managers like, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.320 don't trip, like, just keep making flows and when you 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.520 get out, I'm gonna have a deal for you. I 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.880 was like, all right, bet you know, because him being 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.120 my older homegirl son, I trust his word, you know 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:42.679 what I mean.

I'm gonna believe what he's saying, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.079 you know what I mean.
