Speaker 1: seen the pictures of that. Yes, ye did they have
Speaker 1: you digging? Are you the one thing? What you're digging
Speaker 1: with your hand and digging? Damn you're supposed to wash
Speaker 1: your hands after you help dig man? But now I
Speaker 1: ain't build a school in my village. You know my mother,
Speaker 1: this little village my mother was born in. Uh What
Speaker 1: would inspired me to build the school was? Um I
Speaker 1: went when I came to the States, I come to
Speaker 1: the stage late eighties sometimes eight six eighties seven. I
Speaker 1: didn't go back to Ghana. I didn't go back to
Speaker 1: Africa period to like two thousand, like fifteen years later.
Speaker 1: I went back. And when I went back, I went
Speaker 1: to the village while I was born. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I just things were still the same. I'm like, why
Speaker 1: things still the same? You know why our kids and
Speaker 1: the kids are like a bunch of kids doing still
Speaker 1: the school days, school hours, the kids in the marketplace
Speaker 1: helping their mother sell ship. And I'm like why these
Speaker 1: seven eight year old kids working? Like who hired these niggas?
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, you know what then I get
Speaker 1: to find out, I'm like, why did not in school?
Speaker 1: The not in school because the public school were just
Speaker 1: known as government school, which is free. At that moment,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure things have changed that ain't shift free
Speaker 1: no more, but back then those schools were free, and
Speaker 1: those feel up really fast. The free ship always feel up.
Speaker 1: It's like you go, you know in America, you go
Speaker 1: to the warfare line. All the warfare office is always packed,
Speaker 1: right because niggas like free ship, So the free ship
Speaker 1: always fills up. And the kids that I left, they
Speaker 1: can for a private school. So then what I did.
Speaker 1: I went to them on the local elementary school to
Speaker 1: find out what school was going for, how much it
Speaker 1: calls to go to school. So I find it cast
Speaker 1: like eighty dollars for the whole year. I'm like eighty
Speaker 1: dollars and it was two and I'm like, we're spending
Speaker 1: at the bar. So next day I went back to
Speaker 1: the marketplace, saw them same fucking kids. I talked to
Speaker 1: their parents. I was like, I'm gonna pay pull your
Speaker 1: pull your four kids in school for the year, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And then from there I would
Speaker 1: try to help. Every year I'll try to help get
Speaker 1: this keep. I mean, what eight years of schooling or
Speaker 1: cost but a couple of grad So I went did
Speaker 1: that and after the outside of myself, I gotta do
Speaker 1: something about this. And I always had in my mind,
Speaker 1: I got to build a school. But it's not it's
Speaker 1: not an easy thing to do, you know, it's come
Speaker 1: without responsibility. But I finally, like right before COVID, I decided,
Speaker 1: you know what, trying to pay every kid in school?
Speaker 1: How about just to build a home school and make
Speaker 1: it free and give scholarship to the kids. You good man,
Speaker 1: Michael blocked him. Yeah, what's up, mother suckers. This is

Speaker 1: to catch a new episode every Tuesday. Back then in
Speaker 1: ninety four, the only way you get famous, you gotta
Speaker 1: find a way to get on TV. The only TV
Speaker 1: we had back then was BT Comic View, BT Coming.
Speaker 1: We just started, so we had because BT Coming. If
Speaker 1: you knew, they were the only way of getting any
Speaker 1: comedian famous, or they took advantage of us. To get
Speaker 1: on BT Comic View, you had a fresh year, best
Speaker 1: athletic to get on. So when you get selected, then
Speaker 1: you have to find with the l A mine y'all
Speaker 1: living in Philadelphia, you have to find you with the
Speaker 1: l A. Get your own hotel, your own flight, your
Speaker 1: own hotel, and then three weeks after you shoot the show,
Speaker 1: you'll get a check for a hundred fifty dollars. So
Speaker 1: I came to do Coming with You for a negative
Speaker 1: five dollars. I lost some money trying to make money,
Speaker 1: you know. But then what happened was you get on
Speaker 1: TV and then once you're on TV that people can
Speaker 1: see you, now they're going to book you. So now
Speaker 1: you know, I went from making like fifty dollars a
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, like five hundred dollars, you know, and then
Speaker 1: when when I did Next Friday, then I went from
Speaker 1: like five hundred dollars undred dollars and then then you
Speaker 1: keep going and keep going. So television is kind of
Speaker 1: like what we had back then, but we didn't have
Speaker 1: social media to try with jokes. These guys could just
Speaker 1: do a video the video is funny and put that
Speaker 1: ship into material, you know. But with they have that,
Speaker 1: we had to go to open mic night. You have
Speaker 1: to go get in line, and open mic was a
Speaker 1: night where amateurs perform or professionals would go on stage
Speaker 1: just to like perfect that new actor trying to do. So,
Speaker 1: like in Philadelphia where I started, UM one club is
Speaker 1: like first come, first served. So if you have if
Speaker 1: you want to get a good number, do they do
Speaker 1: They a lot of first twenty people. So if you
Speaker 1: to get and you got to pick your own number
Speaker 1: when you want to go on. So if you want
Speaker 1: to pick your own number, show start at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be there like four pm. Get in line
Speaker 1: there when you pick a good number, like a good number,
Speaker 1: be like any number between like five to like thirteen
Speaker 1: is good because you go on number one nine enough
Speaker 1: crowded if you're gonna twenty everybody already left. So that
Speaker 1: was one club. But the other club, you go line
Speaker 1: up and then after you write your name, then they
Speaker 1: would they would give you a number accruing to how
Speaker 1: well didn't know you. So I remember my first night
Speaker 1: at this particular club. They didn't know me. I went
Speaker 1: on last, but then I got on stage, it was
Speaker 1: like six comedians, like the order. They already got tired.
Speaker 1: I'm performing for six comedians and did told me that, hey,
Speaker 1: I think you got what it takes to make it,
Speaker 1: because I was hoping, I hope the fucking audience was there.
Speaker 1: But instead of like other comedians like you know, Mike,
Speaker 1: I think you got it, and it's I just kept
Speaker 1: going and kept going. I think that's dope. Man. You
Speaker 1: know a lot of comedians they don't bring the same
Speaker 1: energy when um when they see like that, you know
Speaker 1: there's less people there or on so you expected. So
Speaker 1: I think that's extremely dope. You never that first impression,
Speaker 1: and don't matter where you are, give them the best
Speaker 1: fucking show. You never know who that one person is
Speaker 1: or that's to three people are really performing. Don't ever
Speaker 1: give all you have, regardless or not. I mean, I
Speaker 1: performed for like ten thousand people. Recently, I'm on that
Speaker 1: Martinawrence tour, so we've seen like ten fifteen thousand people.
Speaker 1: But my favorite orders is three people, that intimacy crowd
Speaker 1: right there in your phase where you get to like
Speaker 1: feel loose, because when when it's fifteen, it's don't get wrong,
Speaker 1: it's more pressure, like Okay, now I got you know,
Speaker 1: compared to like three people, you feel more comfortable, you know.
Speaker 1: But with it fight people are ten people. Give those
Speaker 1: ten people your best show ever because you never know
Speaker 1: who those ten people are. Heard. Rappers get all the
Speaker 1: respect on the streets and singers get all the exactly
Speaker 1: and that was part of the reason. That was part
Speaker 1: of the reason for sure. But yeah, I'm in now.
Speaker 1: It's been cool. It's been great, specially moving out to
Speaker 1: l A. I especially seeing an increasing everything I've been
Speaker 1: doing since I've been out here. So I'm with it
Speaker 1: for sure. It's so crazy. I was watched reading something
Speaker 1: today that Meek had posted up. You said that thing
Speaker 1: me posted about something like he's not sure where his
Speaker 1: record money been going, Like something posted about about the
Speaker 1: record of the record business. How you know he brought
Speaker 1: his record out but he ain't seen no record money,
Speaker 1: you know. So I mean that's that's that's that's been
Speaker 1: going on for ages. I mean everybody got burned, from
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson to Tito Jackson too. Everybody has been burned.
Speaker 1: When it comes those it looks like all this makes
Speaker 1: most of that money from live performance. I mean I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, Like I don't know how much you really
Speaker 1: make fun but it's different than now. It's like downloads
Speaker 1: and you could like kind of like put do your
Speaker 1: own thing. Now you go independent and you know, put
Speaker 1: your own ship out. And back then you needed like
Speaker 1: you needed a record company back then to like you know,
Speaker 1: get you to that next level. And it took advantage,
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, not anymore. I mean, hows how
Speaker 1: how how you getting your music out there? Um, I'm
Speaker 1: getting it out fully independently right now, So I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to the record label should go your money?
Speaker 1: So I see everything from my music, but uh, really
Speaker 1: it's about where you're grind at right now, like what
Speaker 1: you're doing with your brand pushing and how much you're
Speaker 1: selling on your brand. Like I'm thinking of different avenues
Speaker 1: from my brand right now as far as like the
Speaker 1: music and I got a dog that gets me like
Speaker 1: a million views on TikTok and YouTube and ship um
Speaker 1: selling plants and this thing that go along with my
Speaker 1: brand is also farm as well. I've been farming for
Speaker 1: like two years with some of my friends, So I'm
Speaker 1: like brother into nature and like gardening and ships. They got.
Speaker 1: You're growing tomatoes, motherfuckery got a great tomatoes. Now we're
Speaker 1: wearing weird. It's cannabis farm tomato I just want to make.
Speaker 1: But with that, with the cannabis farms, I've learned how
Speaker 1: to cultivate tomatoes and vegetables and fruit and all that
Speaker 1: ship and survive off grid and and and a lot
Speaker 1: of things I didn't know before before UM being out there.
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to incorporate all that ship into
Speaker 1: my brand because that's what the music business and just
Speaker 1: having a brand is about. Now what your grind is.
Speaker 1: And because you're not gonna like me, you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: see a lot if you get to that level from
Speaker 1: your ship. It's about what else you selling, the shows,
Speaker 1: the merch and all other ships. So that's what me
Speaker 1: and my team is working on right now, tightening, and
Speaker 1: it's a great thing. My social media now right, social
Speaker 1: media is pretty much your own platform. It's your own
Speaker 1: TV show, your own network. You know, you build your
Speaker 1: own audience and when you make something, you've got someone
Speaker 1: to sell it to. You don't You don't need nobody anymore.
Speaker 1: Just build an audience and if your ship is good
