44
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: born in Inglewood, California, brought to a street called Converse,

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: which that's my block there. We basically turned into our

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: block basically, and it's uh, it's it's in Florence area,

47

Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that's that's where I

48
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: was basically raised at. That's why you see I got

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,880

00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,840

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: the system. Let's get that mic right here in the middle.

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: It's just so we can get make sure in and

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: out of the system, you know, back and forth dealing

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: with you know, whatever came with me being in that area,

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: growing up in that area and part of you know

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, the gang and stuff like that. I

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: was back and forth in jail, but I made the

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: best out of it, you know, after several years of

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: being in and out of the system. I just decided to,

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, go fly the right way and try to

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: make something of myself that at the end of the day,

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: it's not you know, nothing negative, it's turning the negative

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: into a positive. Basically with my music, do you well?

65
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: First of all, when was the last Like when did

66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: you get out last? So originally I parode from the

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: federal system in two thousand and eleven, close to twenty twelve,

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I was dealing with probation. Probation was real hard for

69
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: me because I had people giving me record deals and

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: that I couldn't sign because of the probation. The probation

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't let me sign anything that wasn't like somebody saying, hey,

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: here's fifty thousand dollars, we're gonna put you to work

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: in the studio. He's like, you know, I've had several

74
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: people come through this through through here and basically say, oh,

75
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: I got a record deal. Oh, but if they're not

76
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: offering money, because a lot of those record deals were saying, hey,

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna attempt to make money with with you with you.

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: So with that, he was like, you know, I've had

79
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: a lot of that going on, and where I went

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: to the studios and I pull up and it's just

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes smoking weed. They're not recording, So okay,

82
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: I you know, I had to roll with the punches

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: and deal with that probation. And the only way I

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be able to get off that probation was

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: me doing violations to get it done faster. And that's

86
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: what I did because I couldn't travel, couldn't leave. You know,

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: it was just one It was a one track thing

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: for me. And if I didn't have a studio or

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: a label paying me, then I had to have a job.

90
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: So I had to go with the whole job thing

91
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: for a little while, and it was just you know,

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: it was it was rough, if it wasn't easy. How

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: long ago did you get off probation? I got off probation.

94
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: I want to say two thousand and sixteen. It's crazy

95
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like they, you know, if you're out

96
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: and you're trying to make something of yourself, like that

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: probation is kind of like it's kind of like an

98
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: invisible jail, right, Like it's a way to keep you

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: in the system. Like it definitely held me back from

100
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, there was so many opportunities that

101
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: had risen and that were presented to me that I

102
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: wasn't able to capitalize on, and I wasn't able to

103
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: jump on, you know what I'm saying. And it's like

104
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: where when we're sitting here trying to get something positive done,

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: like I feel like that should be allowed, you know

106
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: what I mean, That should be respected and appreciated rather

107
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: than to trying to keep you in that that hole

108
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: that you just climbed out of, you know, by me

109
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: getting off probation, I felt like I climbed out of

110
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: a hole, you know, because it took so long. It

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: was you know, bobbing and weaving and still having one

112
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: foot in and one foot out. Music can still be

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: on the streets. Like that was not easy at all

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: over overall, like over your life. How many years were

115
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: you incarcerated? Man? I got locked up when I was

116
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: thirteen years old, and you know, in and out I'd

117
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: say it just oh man, from thirteen to well fifteen

118
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: or something like that, and then from sixteen to eighteen,

119
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: and then from eighteen to twenty four, from twenty four

120
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: till I was thirty two, I believe, or something like that,

121
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Like it just was I gave them a lot of

122
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: years of my life, you know what I mean. It's

123
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: hard for me to just say one number only because

124
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: I did do small violations in between six months here,

125
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: three months, they're eight months. They're like, you know, it's

126
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: just hard to calculate all of that unless you sit

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: down and really say, hey, and which there's dates that

128
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: I was in the system that I don't even remember.

129
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: That's crazy because it was so much, you know, I

130
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: just I was flipping calend Yo. It's crazy because, uh,

131
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: both of my cousins who one of them still in prison,

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: one of us pass away, they had the calendar tattoos

133
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: all the years. Yeah. I never did that because I

134
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: would have had that going down my whole arm. That's crazy,

135
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I would have needed more

136
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: room for that, Like I just anyway, Yeah, you're right.

137
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean I got a little bit of room like

138
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: on my legs and stuff. Other than that, my body's

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: filled up back chess face as you gotta see, you know,

140
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, with the prison thing, like obviously you know

141
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: there's different politics in prison than outside of prison. Would

142
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: you say, is that accurate? You know? I feel like

143
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: everywhere you go, you know, you step on the metro,

144
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: they have rules, you know what I mean, you step

145
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: on a bus in the street, they have rule. Everywhere

146
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: you go, You're gonna deal with rules. That's just part

147
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: of the part of life. You know. When you get

148
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: to where you're going, you figure out what's going on.

149
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: And that's basically how we roll. You know what I'm saying.

150
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't. I don't really how can I explain.

151
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't like practice or you know, any of that.

152
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: I just wherever I get to I'm at, I basically,

153
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, try to roll with the punches and roll

154
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: with what's going on and just go the right direction,

155
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: just fly a straight kite, you know. Would you say like,

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: because you know there's I feel like when you're locked up,

157
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: when you're incarcerated, usually there's like every group of people

158
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: has like a shot caller, somebody kind of helps, you know,

159
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: maybe kind of navigate who's who's coming in, who's coming out,

160
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: like help navigate the politics and situations on the yard.

161
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: Was that ever a position that you were in, I mean,

162
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I wouldn't say that. I usually, like I said,

163
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to drive no airplane and shit I'm

164
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: a passenger and I'm just you know, trying to get

165
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: to our destination properly. And that's about it. That's fair.

166
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: That's fair. You know, when we think about prison, I

167
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: wass here would hear crazy stories about riots going on

168
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: in prison? Like when were you ever a part of

169
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: any of the or witness any of that stuff? All

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: of that comes along with, you know, you being incarcerated.

171
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: You don't even gotta go look for it. It's gonna

172
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: find you, you know, it definitely find you. You know

173
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of times. So I

174
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: started off going to a level three prison, which level

175
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: two's and level ones are a little bit lighter on everything.

176
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Level threes and level fours are a little bit higher

177
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: on you know, respect level, just you know, just different things.

178
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: So while I was there in the level three prison,

179
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people would say, hey, look,

180
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: if your points don't go up, you're gonna get sent

181
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: to like a level two or a level one, which

182
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like being the fact that you already

183
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: started in a higher prison where the respect level is

184
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: much higher, where you know, there's a lot more going on.

185
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: So points just so what do you mean points? So

186
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: we there's a point system while you're incarcerated. It's like,

187
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: if you do good, your points drop, so you go

188
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: to a different jail. Yeah, they'll send you to somewhere

189
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: else and then like a less security, like a lower

190
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: security or whatnot. If your if your points go higher,

191
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: then you go to a higher security, or you stay

192
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: where you're at, depending on their their like their way

193
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: of monitoring your points. So my points were gonna drop

194
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: because I hadn't gotten no you know, right ups. No,

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten in trouble. So a lot of people

196
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: were like, you might want to, you know, spike up

197
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: your points, get a little right up for this, get

198
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: a little right up for that. And then I had

199
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: an older homie that came up to me and told

200
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: me straight up, he said, don't go jack up your points.

201
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna come to you when you least expect it.

202
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: You don't need to are gonna come, don't even look

203
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: for it. So and they did. I started getting right

204
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: ups for fucking alcohol and I don't even drink. Start

205
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: getting right up for this that dad getting caught knives,

206
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Like just if all that stuff came on its own,

207
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: I didn't have to go look for it. So the

208
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: idea of like one like like not your make yourself,

209
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: but the idea of your peers of getting your points

210
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: higher to stay where you're at, is that based on

211
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: just like, Hey, you're already here, you're already established, you're

212
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: comfortable or comfortable. You know, if you go to a

213
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: new prison, you might need to hit reset on start

214
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: over network and everywhere you go. Like I said, it's

215
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: a different differ, it's a different ball game. And like

216
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I said, that they want you somewhere where. Of course,

217
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: anybody in general, not just me or any of my

218
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: friends or anybody in general, would love respect more than

219
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: someone that's being disrespectful or you know what I'm saying.

220
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: So in those places, the higher levels of prisons, there's

221
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: more respect. That's fair. I don't know. Did you see

222
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: recently Whack was on Clubhouse talking about how you would

223
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: never sign a Southsider? Did you see that? I heard

224
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: about it, and I didn't really pay too much attention

225
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: to it. I talked to him about it a bit,

226
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: and he was just like, you know, I obviously have

227
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Mexicans I signed. He's like, but I was locked up

228
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: for X amount of years, and you know we were

229
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: at war, and like I couldn't sign the South Side

230
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: or because my comrades that are still incarcerated will look

231
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: at me a certain way. Was that like, like, is

232
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: that something that as you know? Because I feel like

233
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: I guess I never I didn't grow up in La

234
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: so I guess like the beef between Blacks and Mexicans

235
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: was something I never really witnessed because it was never

236
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: something that happened in Phoenix where I'm from. Right, But

237
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: how serious like in prison, Like you guys are enemies, right,

238
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean in prison there's a whole rules. Nobody is

239
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: really your enemy, and you know what I mean, It's

240
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: just things happen while you're in there. And they could

241
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: be with the officers, it could be with another race,

242
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: it can be with whoever. It's just not one certain

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: crowd that you don't like and wake up and say, hey,

244
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: I hate these people. Because if you hate somebody, they're

245
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: right across the day room from you. You can go

246
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: get them. There's no I hate them, but they can

247
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: stay on their side of the day room. I'll stay

248
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: on myself. It don't work like that. If I hate somebody,

249
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm coming for you. You know what I mean and

250
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: as far as what you know, Whack one hundred said,

251
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like every man has their own opinion,

252
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: or every man has their own choice. If that's what

253
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: he chooses, that's his opinion, so be it. You know,

254
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: there's people from our side, you know, Hispanics that don't

255
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: like blacks, and that's their decision, you know what I'm saying, Like,

256
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: that's their opinion. It's just all it's just all part

257
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: of you know, being a man and taking these these

258
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: these like how can I say, like stop taking everything

259
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: to the heart man, you know what I'm saying, at

260
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day, just roll with whatever's going on.

261
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: And do you do you feel do you feel like

262
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: it was hard for you at any point in time

263
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: to like leave behind that prison mind state, maybe like

264
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: leave behind some of the ideas in the politics of

265
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: going to being locked up in a position that you're

266
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: in and like and then also get out be a

267
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: free man, try to stay on the right track and

268
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: also succeed in as an as an artist. Well, it's

269
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: always hard being the fact that, you know, one thing

270
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: I can't give up is my homies. I love my homies,

271
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I still you know, associate, communicate, whatever

272
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: you want to call it. With some of them that

273
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: are family, basically they grew to be family over the years.

274
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: It's like it's not about us going to go look

275
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: and try to find an enemy now or oh it's

276
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: us trying to sell drugs now. Like now, it's just

277
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: say what's up, my boy? How you doing? Oh? Look today,

278
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: I did this, I did this music, I did that. So,

279
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: like the good thing about my homies is they respect

280
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. They appreciate what I'm doing, and you know,

281
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: they still got love for me. They haven't switched up.

282
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: They haven't, you know, basically like I've seen other you know,

283
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: artists that are from certain gangs that they can't go

284
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: to their neighborhood because their homies don't fuck with them

285
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: like that. You know what I mean. My homies do

286
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: and that's a blessing, you know what I mean. And

287
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: they see what I'm doing, they see that I'm doing

288
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: something positive and they respect it. What would be your advice, Right,

289
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: Let's say you're talking to a kid who's from where

290
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: you're from and then getting mixed up and some shit

291
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: that maybe you got mixed up in, and you kind

292
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: of made that mistake. First, how would you advise somebody

293
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: to try to like avoid kind of made doing some

294
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: of the things that you did that you know, right?

295
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I all I can do

296
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: is give my advice and give my you know, incentitive

297
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: on what can happen if they lead and going that route.

298
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's their choice to make. I can't make

299
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the choice for them, and I'm going to respect whatever

300
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: it is they decide to do. I'm not gonna sit

301
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: there and nag or try to preach or cause it

302
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: took me a lot to get to where where I'm

303
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: at in my mind state. It wasn't overnight, and it

304
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: wasn't somebody just telling me, hey, if you take that road,

305
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna you know, I heard that so many

306
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: times and I just it went in one ear came

307
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: out the other. I just kept going going for what

308
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: I knew. That's straight, that's real. How long have you

309
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: actually been rapping, like writing rapping? Like how long have

310
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: you actually been like kind of applying yourself to being

311
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: just a writer? Right? So I started young, like with

312
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: with like I love music. So I started, you know,

313
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: when I was thirteen years old before I started going

314
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: to jail and stuff. Like I would go to like

315
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: my neighborhood parties and grab the mic and you know,

316
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: a certain part of a beat, like a bounced rock

317
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: skate beat, the old school beat. I would just sit

318
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: there and you know, rap about neighborhood stuff and gangs

319
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. And I had the

320
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: crowd of the people dancing. So I'm sitting there like, okay,

321
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: like they really feeling this, like you know what I mean,

322
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Like I'm really they're not just sitting here laughing at them, motherfucker,

323
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: or else they wouldn't even be sitting there trying to

324
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: dance or bobbing their heads to it, like they would

325
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: have been laughing like you know. So I felt that

326
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: they you know, they gave me that motivation to keep

327
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: pushing and keep going with it. And like I said,

328
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: so much time in the system that you know, when

329
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: I would get somewhere, it's like say, if I write

330
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: a dig kick off on the yard, then we get

331
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: locked down. So all that time locked down, I'll sit

332
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: and write music, you know, write music. I'll work out,

333
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: bird bath, do whatever it is to get through that day.

334
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: But at least an hour or two hours rocatered to

335
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: my writing. You know, I didn't stop when I came home.

336
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: I had six years or five or six years of notebooks,

337
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: notebooks filled up. I still have them that I haven't

338
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: touched that you started anything from there. I got hooks,

339
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: I got you know, versus twelve bars, eight bar, sixteen

340
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: bar verses like I got music for days in that

341
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: folder and then folders. And when I came home, I

342
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: learned how to use the phone to write my lyrics.

343
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: So I just pushed that aside and said, okay, cool,

344
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: I could do it off of here. Now. I got

345
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and one hundred and twenty songs plus that

346
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: ain't been released that I just got sitting there, Like,

347
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: I got a lot of music. You know, you mentioned

348
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: a bird bath. What's the bird bath? Bordbeth is when

349
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to go take a real shower cause

350
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: they're because you know, you can't come out of your cell.

351
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: So you got a shower with that sink and that

352
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: toilet that you got right there, you know what I mean.

353
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: You put towels towards the door kind of stopped the

354
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: water from going out onto the tier because nobody likes

355
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: water on your tier. You know what I'm saying. People

356
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: try to fish, people try to walk through there. They

357
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: can't because there's a puddle of water and soap, which

358
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: is nasty. It's all your dirt water, you know what

359
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: i mean. So you you know, you put up the

360
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: towels a certain way to where you see which way

361
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: the water goes. If the water comes this way, you

362
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: make sure that part is blocked in so the water

363
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: stays in your cell you know. You put up a

364
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: sheet or blanket whatever it is to cover your celly

365
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: so your celly ain't watching. You wash your ass, you

366
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Of course, soap up, you know,

367
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: throw you get a cup water, you know, pour water

368
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: all over yourself. Soap up whatever you can. And the

369
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: same thing. You fill up your sink where you put

370
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: a little piece of maybe I don't know, an envelope

371
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: or whatever that it'll hold the little hose down so

372
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: the water don't go down. Fill up the sink with

373
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: the water. Then you just dunking your cup and just

374
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: pouring it over yourself. You make sure you shower. It's

375
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: a shower, but it's called a bird bath, you know

376
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Then after that you get your your towels,

377
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: you pick up all that dirt water and just wring

378
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: it all out into your toilet. You know, it's it's

379
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: it's a little hassle, but once you learn how to

380
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: do it, and they're refreshing, you know what I mean.

381
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: You're clean. You can lay back on your bed and

382
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: smell good, like you know, and you would do that

383
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: only if you were under lockdown, right, which a lot

384
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: of the times we were, so sometimes that was almost

385
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: every day because I think they'll give you a shower

386
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: like every seventy two hours, seventy two hours, like seventy

387
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: two hours, and it's like, I'm not gonna sit there

388
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: and wait for those seventy two hours. I'm gonna shower. Yeah. Yeah,

389
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: especially if you've got a cell mates to work and

390
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: you're working that out, like you know, that's why you

391
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: get that program. You clean your cell you know, one

392
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: day he cleaned it, one day. I clean it one

393
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: day he like, you know, we take turns and shit,

394
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: and it's it's like I said, the respect level is

395
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: a lot better when you're in you know, places like that.

396
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: What happens if you get a cell mate and it

397
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, You don't get along with them. Is

398
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: it like like what happens? Then it's like a forced roommate.

399
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: You can't even vet the guy like you know what

400
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean. It all depends, you know what I'm saying.

401
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: There's certain ways of going about it and getting you know,

402
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: your rooms moved around, and you know what I'm saying,

403
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: you put with somebody you're a little bit more compatible with,

404
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: or somebody you know from the streets. Like myself, I

405
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: kind of refra rained from having my own homies in

406
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: the cell because I felt like, you know, after a

407
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: little while, your own homies get comfortable, you know what

408
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Like they know you from the streets, they

409
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: love you, and it's like they get real comfortable whatever

410
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: it is, you know. So I kind of just so

411
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: that we could keep that same love and same respect,

412
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Like I selled up with other dudes that you know

413
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, I didn't know like that, So that

414
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: way the respect stays stays there. That's interesting, you know.

415
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: So the last time you got out, what was for you,

416
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: like the I guess the thing that changed where you

417
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: really focused on staying out for good and focusing on

418
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: the music shit like full time. So the first time

419
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: I told a couple of people before the first time

420
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: I came home was in two thousand and five. That

421
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: was from the state prison. And when I came home,

422
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: I had to I had just did close to six years.

423
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: I came home and I told myself, Hey, whatever it

424
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: takes to get some to get paid, do it. You

425
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Whatever you need to do, get

426
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: this bread, go get it. So I did. But I

427
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: did that, like I told myself, legal or illegally. So yeah,

428
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, when you say whatever it takes, it

429
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: didn't matter, you know. So I was running around acting

430
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: a fool, getting money, you know, on the streets. But

431
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: it was not legit, you know what I'm saying. I was.

432
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: I was acting a fool, like I said. So I

433
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: seen that I was able to do that, and I

434
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: went back to the system. I went back to the FED.

435
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: You end up, you ended up getting caught up for

436
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: the ways you were getting money. Why did you get

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: like what you get caught up? I got. I got

438
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: caught up on a on a Rico recordeeron extors in

439
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: a conspiracy case, and w ended up going to the

00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: FEDS and ship you know for phone calls, you know,

441
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: talking about though whatever. You know what I'm saying, I

442
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: ended up getting caught up. Anyways, after that, you know,

443
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: now I'm sitting in you know, federal federal custody U

444
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: doing my bed and telling myself in my mind, if

445
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: I told myself the first time that I'm going to

446
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: get out and get paid, no matter what it, I'm

447
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna get it, and I did that, I said, maybe

448
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: I could do that again, but righteously the right way.

449
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out, get money, get paid, legitly do

450
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: my music, and just go as hard as I went

451
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: back then. Now but with this and hey, did it again?

452
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about because I feel like people

453
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: would pay you to come and speak to them, right.

454
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: I feel like you could be like a motivational speaker man,

455
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, like I always see like there's like motivational

456
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: speakers who have crazy backgrounds. You could go speak at conventions,

457
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: you can speak at leadership shit like I feel like

458
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: you got a crazy story. I actually did that a

459
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: little bit. I did that a little bit with a

460
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: company that I worked for when I first came home

461
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: from the FATS. They had me going to like schools

462
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: and talking to the kids and it was funny because

463
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the teachers would sit there

464
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: and look at me like, oh shit, who are we

465
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: bringing into our school? But when I leave, those kids

466
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: would be asking for me. They would get at you know,

467
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: my boss where I worked at and ask him, Hey,

468
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: is he coming back. The teachers would be like, we

469
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: need him back because now this kid that didn't listen

470
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: to me for all these years is listening to me

471
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: and now this like they really enjoyed what I brought

472
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: to the table. And funny that I ended up catching

473
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: the violation through my probation officer that you know went

474
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: and said that, oh, I made an album while I

475
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: was on probation, which I shouldn't have done, the Baldacci Code,

476
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: which is my album. Well, you weren't even allowed to

477
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: record nah, because he said that when did you get

478
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: the time to go record that? When you're supposed to

479
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: be at work, when you're supposed to be this, when

480
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: you don't have money for this or you don't have

481
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: money for that. Like I came home and my music

482
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: carried the money, like I didn't need to have money.

483
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: People were hitting me up, hey, come record at our studio.

484
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: We got you. You don't got to pay nothing like

485
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: that type of shit. That's what they didn't understand. He

486
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: was looking at my social media and like, you got

487
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,119

Speaker 1: picture that like that, you're you're turning into a fan, bro,

00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: You can record at home in your closet for fucking right,

00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars a guitar center right, And he didn't

497
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: understand that, you know, I had to kind of explain

498
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: to him. So he finally took me to jail for that,

499
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: and took me to jail for being with my son's

500
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: mom because she was on a federal custody as well.

501
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: But when we got there, she was pregnant. My judge

502
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, what is he here for. He's like, oh,

503
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's here for the violation for recording this

504
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: album and talking about gang stuff and murders and whatever.

505
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: He thought that I was talking about. He just put

506
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: his little concoction of stuff in his brain, right, Oh,

507
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: he's this is what he's talking about. Then he said, oh,

508
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: he's also in violation for being with the kid's mom

509
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: or my pregnant baby mom, and for missing a drug test.

510
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: So those were the three things that I was there for.

511
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: She kicked out two of them. She kicked out the

512
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: main CD album thing, she kicked out the baby mama thing,

513
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: and all she left me was the mister drug test.

514
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: He asked for a year added to my probation and

515
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: a year more in custody. He wanted me to go

516
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: back to jail. So she said, you know what, I

517
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: have twenty seven letters from teachers and from all these

518
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: people saying how he's such a good guy and how

519
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: he's doing so well with hisself. Should I believe the

520
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: twenty seven letters of people or should I believe you?

521
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: Like She's like, I'm kind of like struggling to see

522
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: who I'm gonna believe. And also I believe it was

523
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: a comment on social media that Kamala Harris had left.

524
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: She left to comment on your social media, not exactly mine,

525
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: but the people that were like that, I worked for before.

526
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: They put up a post of me going to speak

527
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: to the kids, and she left the comment like saying

528
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: that's great or that's awesome or something. So you know,

529
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: of course they screenshoted. They used that towards my advantage

530
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: as well. She seen that she ended the time that

531
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the This was before she's the attorney

532
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: general or this the attorney or some I don't think

533
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: she was what she is now right right, Well, she

534
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't vice president, but at amportant time, I think

535
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: she was attorney. Yeah. I think that's when she was

536
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: attorney tenal or something like that. So they say she

537
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: locked up a lot of people. Yeah that's crazy. Yeah

538
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: so she I mean it helped me in a sense though.

539
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: That's great going forward. You know, the judge, she was

540
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: a sister, you know what I mean. So she was cool.

541
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: She was actually taking the time to read. She actually

542
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: applied herself to all of the information. She real like

543
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: some judges would just look at the probation officer, look

544
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: at me. Yeah this guy, Yeah, I don't care what

545
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: you say. You got going like you're gone. So that

546
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: helped me and instead of giving me a year in

547
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: custody and a year added to my time. She gave

548
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: me ninety days in custody and termination of probation, so

549
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: that kind of was a blessing. It was the best.

550
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: Could you'd rather go knock that three months and then

551
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: we'll do this. They're free, no reading the book? Yeah

552
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: what I mean, like, I'm not even tripping. And and

553
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: that helped me because you know, I went and did it,

554
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: and when I came home, I didn't have no tail,

555
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: no worries. You know what's up? Y'all got to interrupt

Speaker 1: right next to me that I grabbed my blunt back

608
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: and keep smoking. You were smoking spice, like how often

609
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: thirty blunts a day? Bro of spice? Spice? Thirty blunts

610
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: a day. That's where they were around me. My brother,

611
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: he'll tell you, did you have any episodes on that?

612
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: I did, but not to where it freaked me out

613
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: completely because I already seen what it was doing to

614
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: everybody else. So when it'll hit me in that little

615
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: weird state, I just kind of ride it out and

616
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: just sit there and wait and be like, what what

617
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: is that weird state feel like? Because I think we

618
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: think of spice, it's like an adrenaline when we think

619
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: of the guy in Miami who fucking was wild out

620
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: and you bite somebody. Yeah, I ain't never get no,

621
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: but like, like, what's like the craziest spice? Like, what

622
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: is that? What is that? It's just a crazy adrenaline

623
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: that I got while I was, you know, smoking. I've

624
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: been with some of my homies and we're smoking and

625
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: my homies get a whole picture in their head like

626
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: they're about to kill us, take me home type shit,

627
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, bro, we're good. We have the gas station,

628
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: like we're just gonna get gas, don't trip, and I'm tripping.

629
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm tripping type shit. So I know it affected different people.

630
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: Majority of the people that it did affect while I

631
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: was with them, their first and instant, like, their first

632
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: thing that came to mind was I'm gonna die. They

633
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: would always grab their head and oh my god, I'm

634
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: about to die, and I'm like, bro, you're not just chill,

635
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You never felt that way.

636
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: I got to word. I mean, you were day man.

637
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: So I built a hell of a coma. You're still here,

638
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: but thank god, man, And everywhere in neighborhoods that I'm

639
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: not supposed to be in standing in line trying to

640
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: buy spice to where the dudes will come in and

641
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: be like you from Florence and I'm like, yeah, you know,

642
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be right, like, yeah, I'm just

643
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: gonna get something from the store real quick. I'm good. Like.

644
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: So you were like seeking out spice everywhere, no matter

645
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: where you had to go type shit. And it was

646
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: funny because it started becoming illegal. So you go to

647
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: one little smoke shop like, oh, we don't got it

648
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: no more. But you could go two blocks to the

649
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: right and make eleven where is right there? And you're like, oh,

650
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: on my way. Like, you know people who got locked up.

651
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: A smoke shop owner in Arizona got locked up because

652
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: he was I think he was like one of the

653
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: distributors of that shit. A lot of people I know

654
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: who are like in that industry got got hit with

655
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: some serious charges and that dude had to go to

656
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: jail for a few years over spice. Bro, I've seen

657
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: people just take a hit and just start having a

658
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: seizure right next to me. Bro, I'm like, what the hell. Yeah,

659
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of like I guess in

660
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: the nineties when people were doing angel dusts right right.

661
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: And it's funny that it light's basically like the same,

662
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: like it flames of It's something that whatever chemicals it

663
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: was that they were putting in there, they're not good

664
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: for people. And on the bag and the packaging it

665
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: says not for human consumption. That's what a lot of

666
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: people will get mad at me about, like you're reading that,

667
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: what are you still doing? You know? But I'm like,

668
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I can't smoke weed. This is the closest I get

669
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: to week because nine out of ten times that I

670
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: smoked that blunt. It makes me feel like I'm high,

671
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: like I smoked the blunt wheat. Wow, the spice. That's

672
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. And then they're notting you for spice. No,

673
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't come out, don't come out on your test.

674
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: So after all that was done, you know, I got

675
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: off probation, I went straight back to weed immediately cut

676
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: the other bullshit away. And you know, did you ever

677
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: were you ever involved in any other drugs? Like, did

678
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: you ever have any any errors where you were anything

679
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: When I was younger, you know what I'm saying. I

680
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: tried stuff. I tried smoking primos, I tried all the

681
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: little all the little bullshit, you know what I mean.

682
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: But it's just nothing never stuck with me. Nothing never

683
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: caught my attention like that. And I just you know,

684
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: that's not mean. I know some people like well go

685
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: to go to prison and like because of the time

686
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: or because of boredom or whatever, they pick up like heroin,

687
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: and kind of it happens. It happens. You know, I

688
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: myself chose not to. I'm the type of person that

689
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: if I like something, I like and I'll keep doing it.

690
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: So I don't want to even test myself like that,

691
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm happy that I like weed because

692
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing that, you know what I mean?

693
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: Real quick, my dad's called me six times in a row.

694
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: Oh my dad's got COVID. Oh I call you, well,

695
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: Papa's got COVID. That's my dad. Anyway, we're talking about spice. Yo,

696
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: help me understand something because something that I had zero

697
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: well now I wouldn't say zero clue about, but after

698
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: I moved to La I guess I was lightly put

699
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: on my radar about like something I really didn't know

700
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: much about because I always would hear about our Mexicans

701
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: from from northern California and Mexicans from southern California and

702
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: this huge beef what's it Northan's And yeah, what is what? That's? Like?

703
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: Kind of break that down for me, man, because I'm

704
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: not very like I think a lot of people might

705
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: hear about that. But if they're watching this, this it's

706
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: pretty crazy, Like it's like a serious thing, right. I

707
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, everybody has their own side

708
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: where they grew up, you know what I'm saying. They

709
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: grew up in a certain part of California. We grew

710
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: up in a certain part of California, simple as that.

711
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: It's like no other way really to explain it is.

712
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: So if a Northern California Mexican gets locked up in

713
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: southern California, do they have to go to like PC

714
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: yard or are they or is it bad for them?

715
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: It's like it's like every everything else, you know what

716
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like when you get put in a

717
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: position where you can't do anything about what you're going.

718
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the stop officers that make their calls

719
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: on whatever, they you know what I'm saying, whatever they

720
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: choose to decide, they know where people belong and where

721
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: they don't, you know what I mean. That's crazy. And

722
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: do those politics spill outside of prison? Bro? I'mna be

723
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: honest with you, there's so much like stuff that has

724
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: changed over the years that I haven't been in the

725
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: system to kind of understand with the latest answer to

726
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: that like that, you know what I mean. Like it's

727
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: just it's a life of you know, constant, constant moving

728
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: and you know what i mean, just like I said earlier,

729
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: just got to roll with the punches and whatever's going

730
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: on is what's going on, you know what i mean?

731
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: It's like we just adapt basically. You know, right, when

732
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: did you first start getting the tattoo in your face?

733
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: In your head? Man? Because some of these tattoos look

734
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: do some of them look very very old? Right? Right?

735
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: I was when I first got I had got a

736
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: F thirteen on my chin when I was like, right

737
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: before I went to juvenile Hall, I was about thirteen

738
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: years old. I put a F thirteen with a LA

739
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: on top of my chin. I had that I was.

740
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: I went to that before I started tattooing, like my

741
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: whole body, like I still had some tatto on my body,

742
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: but I went to the face like right away. And

743
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: my my grandma, she was like, oh, she seemed that.

744
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: When I was younger, I used to go stop by

745
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: this this jewelry store and always look at this chain

746
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: that I liked. You know, I would just go look

747
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 1: at it ask him to try it on. I didn't

748
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: have no money, but I would still go look at

749
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: it and let me see that chain and try it

750
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: on and they'll put it back. They knew damn well

751
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: that I'd have no money. They were like, he's just

752
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: here looking at the damn chain. So she came up

753
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: one day and told me, Look, if you take off

754
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: that tattoo on your chin, I'll get you that chain.

755
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: So I was like all right, but I still didn't

756
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: even think about it until, you know, being in the

757
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: system before I got I came home one of the

758
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: times I had a court order for them to take

759
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: it off, and I had to go through Homeboys Indus

760
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: Street to where they were gonna excuse me, erase, well,

761
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: you know yeah, and you know, I reached out to

762
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: my grandma and I told her, Hey, I'm going to

763
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: take it off then so I could get that chain.

764
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: But I really had to take it off, like you know.

765
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: So she bought me the chain, I got the laser

766
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: tattoo removal, and then I started getting more tattoos on

767
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: my face and then she was like you worked me basically,

768
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: like She's like I told her, I you told me

769
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: just to take off that tattoo, and I couldn't. I

770
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: can't get some more. So you know, it turned out

771
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: like that. After that, she was just like she wasn't

772
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: trusting me no more when it came to that shit.

773
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, She's like now, but yeah, like I started

774
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: young with the tattoos on my face thirteen fourteen years

775
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: old was there. I mean, when you have tattoos like

776
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: you have, I'm assuming that there's some that you regret.

777
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: Is there any tattoo that comes to mind that you

778
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: regret more than others? Maybe like female names and shit

779
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: over the years being young and dumb and you know

780
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, in the heat of the moment where

781
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: you're like, go get your name tattooed tomorrow, right, you

782
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So but now it's like I

783
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: just I just plastered over those moment fuckers now like

784
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: ain't no, ain't no, biggie. I feel like, what's dope

785
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: about like your your appearance is First of all, people

786
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: are intrigued. I think when they see you, like who's that, right,

787
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: Like who's the guy? And then they hear the music

788
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: They're like, oh shit right? And then I also feel

789
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: like you could be in any fucking movie, like so

790
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: many people have been telling me, Bro, you're missing out

791
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: on all kinds of acting bread like I started to

792
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: have when I first came home from prison. I started

793
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: doing the whole. I mean, you're gonna get type casted, right, No, yeah,

794
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna be You're gonna be like the big homie

795
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: in the hood or they're always gonna choose me for

796
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: certain certain road. Sure, but the money's green. When I

797
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: first came home, it's like I didn't have a car,

798
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: so it was hard for me to get from point

799
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: A to point B. I was sharing with the girl

800
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: that I was with at the time, but she also

801
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: had to work, so it was like some days I

802
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: couldn't make it. Some things I could. So I think

803
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: the central casting kind of got tired of me pulling

804
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: up lad or Okay, So so you just you would

805
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: have hard times getting to like of locations and stuff like, well,

806
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: now it's it's different. You know, I got my own

807
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: stuff and it's like a lot easier. But maybe I

808
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: would have to reapply or something, you know what I mean.

809
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I just seen recently that a lot

810
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: of people started tagging me to this uh all Hell

811
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: the King. I guess it's a Disney movie that I

812
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: came out in. So they're like, damn, You're in a

813
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: Disney movie. You at the flood like, you know, people

814
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: tagging me. I'm like, oh shit, I didn't know. And

815
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: we did that like six years, seven years, and then

816
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: obviously Originals thing was dope. That was dope and missed

817
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: the cartoon like that was a dope. They definitely made

818
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: that happen, bro, You know, I was appreciative one hundred percent.

819
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: You uh, you know I told you when I first

820
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: kind of got put up onto you you had linked

821
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: with Yellow Wolf, Yeah, which is also kind of he's

822
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: heavily tattooed, but also kind of random. Right, you guys

823
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: ended up. I mean I think you've told the story before.

824
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Essentially he came here, he was looking for a place

825
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: to shoot his show, came to your neighborhood. You guys connected, bonded,

826
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: ended up doing some music. Who are some other artists that,

827
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: like you would want to work with him? Some people

828
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: might not expect you be, like, you know, working with

829
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: because I think the Yellowolf thing is one of those. Yeah,

830
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Yellowolf was definitely like a surprise to a lot of people.

831
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: And like I said, it was one of the artists

832
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: that I kind of you know, spoke into existence from

833
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: being incarcerated listening to him to where I told myself

834
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come home and I want to do a

835
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: track with him, right, And it happened the same with

836
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: Crooked Eye, you know, shout out to Frank Nitty Homi,

837
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: Frank Nitty plugged us up and made that happen, you

838
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We we had a nice little

839
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: session in the Gritty Arc studio and you know, got

840
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: to know crooked even before that, the fact that we

841
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: did the track prior, you know, times prior than that,

842
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: we would be in the studio vibing out and you know,

843
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: chopping it up and real cool people, solid and humble,

844
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: you know. Honestly, myself, I think I want to do

845
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: a track with fifty cent. I be insane only because

846
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: I listened to like his music. That's basically like a

847
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: lot of the music influence that I used to, you know,

848
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: listen to, and it's like I got out and a

849
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: lot of people like when I drop Hoogs or when

850
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: I drop certain songs that will be like that Cadence

851
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: reminds me of fifty that right, you know, and I'll

852
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: be like, maybe it's because I listened to them so much.

853
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I'm creating my own music,

854
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: so it's like I don't feel like it sounds like

855
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: anybody in general. But then again, the fans and the

856
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: people that are listening are the ones that right, it's

857
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: their opinion, you know what I'm saying. You Also, I

858
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: heard a few of the records you did with Homiechris

859
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: Coke from Arizona. Oh yeah, I don't know when those

863
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: Mommy Scrappy, had tagged me to something that he, you know,

864
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,759

Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, he is dope, you know. And for

867
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: me to come off of my not I don't want

868
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: to say like like my my high horse or anything,

869
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: but I feel like, you know, you got it was

870
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: a spot already to where it's like I don't have

871
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: to go listen to every single thing that people throw

872
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: at me. So it's like for me to come and

873
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: listen and actually feel like, oh, bro's dope, like it's

874
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: it was something to me, you know. So whenever that happens,

875
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: I usually hit my boy, my manager John and telling

876
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: them straight up like hey, find this dude for me,

877
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, get at him. Let's work. We gotta pay

878
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: for the studio, they got it, whatever, whatever it is,

879
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: just let's figure it out. Let's make something happen. So

880
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: we reached out to him and he was like more

881
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: than happy to do it because he had already heard

882
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: of myself as well too. So he's like, you tell

883
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: me when, and he came out, yeah, book the studio.

884
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: It was dope, and I was like, oh, oh yeah, nice,

885
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: you know. So we made it happen, and we got

886
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: a couple tracks and we actually recorded like four songs

887
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: that night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I heard I think

888
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: I heard almost I think I heard all. Yeah. We

889
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: were like back to back with it. Oh it's good,

890
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: it's fine, it'll pick up. Oh oh on the camera. Okay, good,

891
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: there you go. I like that. That's why he's the manager.

892
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: So just right now, I feel like we're kind of

893
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of like a renaissance of like Mexican rappers.

894
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: I feel like when I first got in the radio

895
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: and when I was growing up, it was like MC magic,

896
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: Little Rob, like obviously Baby Bash was doing this thing.

897
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like right now there's so many dope

898
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: Mexican MC's artists that are just killing it on all levels.

899
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: You know. Snow, the product was just nominated for Latin Grammy.

900
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: You know, we can go up and down. I mean

901
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: LA is kind of the epicenter of like where a

902
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: lot of these young kids are really killing it in

903
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: Latin and the Latin hip hop scene, just in hip hop,

904
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: and they happen to be Mexican. How do you feel

905
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: about like the current state of like Mexican rappers? Man,

906
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: I love it, and you know, I respect the fact

907
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: that everybody's out there trying to get where they where

908
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: they feel they need to be, or people that are

909
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: just pushing and going for what you know what we've

910
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: never really been able to accomplish, which is opening that

911
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: door for you know, the Mexicans and for the Hispanics

912
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: and you know people that've been trying to do this

913
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: for us for years. You know, we've had episodes, you know,

914
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: kid Frouds like of course, yeah, you know what I'm saying.

915
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: The people that did get there, they're trying to shine,

916
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I feel like the

917
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: door wasn't completely kicked in for it. I Mean there

918
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: was always like one or two guys at a time.

919
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like now, I mean I can think

920
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: of like twenty five dudes off the top of my head.

921
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 1: That's the difference now and then. I feel like social

922
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: media and everything else has brought that for a little

923
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: made it a little easier for us to be able to,

924
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, show showcase what we got and learn from

925
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: each other. Which not everybody's gonna sit here and tell

926
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: you that they that they learn from each other. But

927
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: if I see a dope artist that I can learn from,

928
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna soak up game. I'm definitely gonna appreciate

929
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: whatever he's putting out there. You know, everybody out here

930
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: got their chests out and think, oh I'm the biggest,

931
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm the baddest, And that's why I don't fall into

932
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: that cat glory with my mind state. I stick to

933
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: what myself, my boy Peter built, which is JR for

934
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: my label. Like everybody that's from my label jokes, you know,

935
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: just just everybody that's on the team and on the squad.

936
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: I try to push them to push me, if that

937
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: makes sense, Like, you know, I'm trying to like at

938
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: the same time they're working on stuff. I tell them

939
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: don't get caught up with waiting on me, you know

940
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: what I mean. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep doing

945
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it's like, we

946
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: gotta cover every corner in that square. And that's how

947
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,239

968
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: I was in a coma for a month and a half.

969
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: It was insane. My mom would be by my bed side,

970

00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: had these bunch of different, you know, little machines tag

990
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: to me, and one of the nurses came into the

991
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: to the room where I was at and I couldn't

992
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: talk cause I had a tube like you know, in

993
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: my throat, at my side of my right here, like underarm,

994
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: just tubes everywhere basically, and I couldn't really speak. I

995
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: couldn't speak at all. The lady came in and was like, oh,

996
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you off of these machines. I'm gonna

997
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: try to walk you. And I had just got shot

998
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: like a week and a half before, so I was

999
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: like walk me like. I was looking at her like no,

1000
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: Like the only thing I could do was kind of,

1001
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, shake my head kind of get her to

1002
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: understand that I'm not ready to walk. She's like, oh,

1003
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: you're fine, She's unplugging all the shit, and I'm like

1004
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: like no, like you know what I'm saying in my head.

1005
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: I was screaming, but I couldn't say nothing. So she

1006
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: took me off of the bed, sat me up, and

1007
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: I guess when she sat me up, an air bubble

1008
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: rope or like right rose to my to my brain.

1009
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: So I passed out. I passed out when she did

1010
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: that because I didn't I didn't know what was going on,

1011
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: but the air bubble rose to my brain and it

1012
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: caused something up there to where it made me pass out.

1013
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: The doctors came and tried to get me back. They couldn't.

1014
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: Then the doctor finally got me back with something sauce

1015
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: and stuff. So when I woke up, he's like, move

1016
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: your right hand. So you know, I moved my right hand.

1017
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: He's like, move your right legs. I moved my right

1018
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: leg and he's like, move your left hand. And I

1019
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: tried and nothing would move. Move your left leg. It

1020
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't move either. It was parallel. It was paralyzed from

1021
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: half of my half of my body. So they had

1022
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: to take me to Long Beach Memorial Hospital. And they

1023
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: put me in a diver's tank. Wow, which I guess

1024
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: the divers when they dive too deep they get those

1025
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: air bubbles over their brains. So they deal they deal

1026
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: with the same stuff in a different form. So they

1027
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: put me in a diver's tank to where it was

1028
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: like at an angle. My feet were towards the ground,

1029
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 1: my face was like up here. They put I still

1030
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: remember they put on a movie. They brought like a

1031
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: little sliding screen with a movie and uh, they put

1032
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: on something about Mary. Remember they still put that movie on,

1033
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: and then like within three minutes to four minutes, I

1034
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: was out. So I guess they gased that like tank.

1035
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: You know, they put you to sleep, so put me

1036
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: to sleep, and then I guess they turn up the

1037
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: pressure while you're sleeping. They brought me out, and he's like,

1038
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: move your right hand. I moved it right, legg moved it.

1039
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: Movie left it with him. Budge. He's like thrown back in.

1040
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: So they put me back in there. I don't know.

1041
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how long I'm staying in there again.

1042
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: But they put the same movie back on, turn the

1043
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: gases on or whatever. And when they finally pulled me out,

1044
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: he's like move your left hand. I was able to

1045
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: move my left hand and to cray for sure. For sir,

1046
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: I had one of the top fifty doctors in the world.

1047
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: His name was doctor Essencio. He's from Brazil. Wow, he

1048
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: was at USC hospital. He definitely is blessing. And you know,

1049
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: if I ever had the chance to show my appreciation,

1050
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: that would. Man, you know what I'm saying, And this

1052
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: because you know, if you don't have the right doctor,

1053
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: they might have just been like, oh, you're fucked. That

1054
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,160

1059
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: That's big. Outside of you getting shot obviously when you're eighteen,

1060
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: what's the closest brush with a serious life and death

1061
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: situation you had while being incarcerated? Man, I feel like

1062
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: every day is just a brush with being close to

1063
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: life and death. Because they could switch from all smiles

1064
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: to you know, place being on fire, like from one

1065
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: second to the next. You don't know what's gonna take place.

1066
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,959
Speaker 1: I've seen people go in with violations of seven months

1067
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: and then end up with, you know, the rest of

1068
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: their life having to be incarcerated because happened in jail.

1069
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: Anything can happen at any time. Just never let your

1070
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: guard down and just you know, is it hard to

1071
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: let go of that mentality? Oh? Very very I feel

1072
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: like you gotta want something bad enough to be able

1073
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: to and it's never gonna go away, you know what

1074
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, It's never gonna go at the end of

1075
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: the day. It's like your mentality is there still now,

1076
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: whether you choose to like mess with the volcano or

1077
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: just leave it alone. That's where that's where all of

1078
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: this falls in place. Like you know, I'm doing music,

1079
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: I left all the you know, the untampered with, Like

1080
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: I just kind of just don't mess with it and

1081
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: just keep you know, keep my cool and respectful and

1082
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: still go about things the way that I know that

1083
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: I should be going about things, you know what I mean,

1084
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: Like certain stuff that even on podcasts like this, that

1085
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and talk about, you know

1086
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. At the end of the day, it's

1087
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: like it's all respect, but there are certain subjects I

1088
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: won't touch, and then there's certain subjects that, yeah, we

1089
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: could talk about because it's something that already happened, its

1090
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: events in my life. Of course. You feel what I'm saying.

Speaker 1: record over on this side, play them and then wrap

1138
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: into the box plug. And we have tapes like we

1139
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: would make tapes in there. So we're making tapes and

Speaker 1: or two before. Literally the next day I went and

1165
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 1: met up with him, and for the next three years,

1166
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: probably four years, I saw him every single day, like

1167
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: we're together every single day, moving around doing this music.

1168
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: Ten days after we link back up again, I quit

1169
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: cutting hair at the barbershop I was at, and we

1170
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: started running with this wow, and we've been Yeah, we've

1171
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: been doing that since. How many years has this been since?

1172
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: You guys? Usually two thousand and six, fifteen or sixteen

1173
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: sixteen is when we started started running. So I came

1174
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: home in thirteen and he was still back and forth

1175
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: doing his violations. So a few years after I came

1176
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: home is when we finally linked back up and we've

1177
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: been we've been running since. So you guys have the

1178
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: new album coming out, which is what's dope about it

1179
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: is you guys aren't putting it straight to the the streaming platforms. Yeah. Now,

1180
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: we did that with the with the Plant with the

1181
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: Plan B album. That was kind of our first getting

1182
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: our feet wet into doing something ourselves, was like, instead

1183
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: of just recording the music and letting somebody else figure

1184
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: So we had to figure that album out from beginning

1185
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: to end. So we we we did that. It got it.

1186
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, good reception kind of opened a few more doors,

1187
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: but we did see that that, you know, with the

1188
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: kind of music that we have in the project that

1189
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: we're coming out with, streaming right away is not going

1190
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: to be our best way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, listen,

1191
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're doing this to

1192
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: try to support you the fan base, the core fan

1193
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: base that we have is strong. So also we're thinking

1194
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: that more as something for those people that have been

1195
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: here supporting, they're going to get these these this physical

1196
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: package that we're putting. So what is the physical package?

1197
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: So what's the name of the album? Give me the whole?

1198
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: There's no official name of the album. It's a double album.

1199
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: Actually is I'm the name of the Face of l A.

1200
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: That's kind of what we're what we're you know, so

1201
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: also makes sense that's your I G you know, so

1202
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: I want to name it that just some you know,

00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I'm not only It's not

00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: thing and trying to shoot for the same direction. So

1208
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: it's like all of us are in this together, you

1209
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I'm gonna make sure this

1210
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: album speaks to everybody and for everybody. Like the way

1211
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: that people you know, relate to each other in certain situations,

1212
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, A huge, a huge part of the music

1213
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: industry in LA has always been built around artists either

1214
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: speaking about the street life or in rare cases, an

1215
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: artists actually beaten from the street. Like it's mostly you know,

1216
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: an artists that grew up around there that's kind of

1217
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: telling the stories that they've seen and then they kind

1218
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: of morphed into that image of you know, he's a

1219
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: street dude. We're kind of you know, the face of

1220
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: LA is what we've been pushing because everything that the

1221
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: entertainment as far as music has been based around and

1222
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: even but he was like LA is shown as like,

1223
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, street culture, gang culture. That's what draws people

1224
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: to to LA outside of Hollywood, and for somebody to

1225
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: be actually from that environment, grew up in that environment,

1226
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: it's actually you know, certified from that. And to be

1227
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: able to come out of that and try to try

1228
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:23,439
Speaker 1: to showcase and tell his stories in an art front

1229
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: of music, it's kind of like coming full full circle

1230
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: to where now we have an actual representative, you know,

1231
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of like a Nipsey. Nipsey was was did it

1232
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: the street way, and he was a street dude, and

1233
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of those in this industry that

1234
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: we're in that we're learning as we've got more and

1235
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: more into this industry, so you know, it's just kind

1236
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: of a representation of of the l A people. Like

1237
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: like all of our friends, even if they're not from gangs,

1238
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: they're there. If they're hanging out with us, they look

1239
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: like us, and they're gonna be assumed to be part

1240
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: of what we're a part of. That's just like the

1241
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: hip culture in la is to look like like a

1242
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: street dude, and it has been like that since the nineties.

1243
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: The style may have changed, but the the intention is

1244
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: still there. Like the intention, you know, what's cool is

1245
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: to look like, you know, like you're from the streets,

1246
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: whether you are or or not. And for us being

1247
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: street dudes, we want to look like we're not from this.

1248
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we we're tatted up, but we're trying to

1249
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: trying to we're trying to break out of that. So

1250
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: it's just been a learning experience, and especially as two

1251
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: dudes that had no you know, music experience. I mean,

1252
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the fact that you're able to go from being a

1253
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: barber to straight to this and even even me going

1254
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: to be a barber was a huge thing for me

1255
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: because I never because that's legit money. Yeah, it's legit money.

1256
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 1: I've never done anything like that, so it was It's

1257
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: definitely been a learning experience. I feel like like if

1258
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: we had a little more knowledge, we could, you know,

1259
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: maybe done things a little bit quicker. But I'm happy

1260
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: with the growth that we've had because it's been organic

1261
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:01,439
Speaker 1: and right. It's a learning process, you know for people

1262

1296
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: a cookbook, a jail cookbook you're working on. Yeah, we

1297
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: wanted to make a prison cookbook, like a thousand or

1298
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: one hundred ways to make a top ramen, because there's

1299
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: so many top yes inspired pretty much cuisine. Prison cuisine

1300
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: is all based around a top ramen. Yeah, so what

1301
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: you can do with the top ramen? Adding to it,

1302
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: make it spread, make a sandwich, whatever. Okay, give me

1303
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: the If let's say you're in prison, what's your number

1304
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: one meal you could cook up. If let's say let's

1305
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: say you could cook a meal for somebody from the

1306
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: outside the coming to visit, what would be that one?

1307
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean the cookbook that you're like, this is fire. Well,

1308
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: if it ain't a spread, of course, because there's plenty

1309
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: of different ways to make spreads, I'd say a manwich.

1310
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: They're called manwiches, swear. You take the soup, you leave

1311
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: the soup where it's in the package, You put hot

1312
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: water in there, let it sit for a little bit,

1313
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: pour out the hot water, so you still got the

1314
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: whole noodle that opens up basically like a book, and

1315
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: you put that on the bread. You know, there's certain

1316
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: ways you make the beans. You spread the beans across it.

1317
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: You know, you could use little pieces of pepperoni, cut

1318
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: little slices of pickle, you know, whatever little ingredients that

1319
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: you put a little bit of the seasoning pack and

1320
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, you put it together with pork rinds and

1321
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and then you get a big old

1322
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: monster sandwich that tastes like it's from Tommy's. Wow. Wait,

1323
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: so I still eat them. So there's noodle was inside

1324
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: of the bread, so it's bread noodles, But the doodles

1325
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: is just in the brick like how it comes to square.

1326
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: It's just loosened up, a little loosened up a little

1327
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: bit from just cook like that, you know, but it's

1328
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: still in. There's a lot of carbs, man, that is

1329
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: you know that. I'm not saying it's a healthy boy,

1330
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: but that's something that you guys still make, still make them. Yes, yeah,

1331
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: I made one the other day. I want to say,

1332
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: like a week ago, I made one of the girl

1333
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: why do you still? Even my homie just came home

1334
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: a year ago. He's like, why do you eat this? Ship?

1335
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: Like he's good, you can't take over the years. I'd

1336
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: always have people like you're making that, you're just jinxing yourself.

1337
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like why Because I'm eating a soup, Like,

1338
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: what the hell do they gotta do? I'm not out

1339
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: her cousin. I think you should do a YouTube channel man, instead,

1340
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean do the cookbook, but the YouTube channel. If

1341
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: you do, like to show the recipe a week, man,

1342
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: that shit will go crazy. Trust me, the YouTube money

1343
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: serious man. Right, that's a good idea because because people

1344
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: unfortunately people don't. I don't think people go to cookbooks anymore, right,

1345
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: download or something. Well, they get everything online. I mean honestly,

1346
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: they just go on YouTube. Now that's true. So if

1347
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: you if you on YouTube the other day, exactly, if

1348
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: you started a YouTube channel where you were just creating content,

1349
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: doing recipes, bro, that ship would go crazy. And then

1350
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: you have special guests come on. Well maybe artists who

1351
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: have been in jail or artists that haven't. But just

1352
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: if you've got a relationship with Crooked Eye or whoever,

1353
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: have them come on and everybody does a different you know,

1354
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you make them, you make them something and then they

1355
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: they taste tested on camera. That should have go crazy

1356
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,360

1357
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:45,000

Speaker 1: might get your own show on vice for real, like

1359
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: that'd be crazy. And then if it goes super crazy,

1360
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: start a fucking restaurant. You got a kitchen, start a

1361
