Welcome to the ball Alert Show. 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:11.000 I go by the name of Ferrari. 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.440 I go by to there, you know, bt Rosco Dash 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.319 of the buildings on Fellas. What's up, Bro? How y'all doing? 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.680 Long time? No man, but I'll be bumping into yall 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.759 and auto right, yeah, that's cool. Let me know. We 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.279 all doing we're supposed to be doing. So every time I. 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.600 See you, I just think about that that diamond record 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:28.960 you got. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.880 You know what I'm saying, diamond real hand right, that's right, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.880 that's right. I appreciate the people for that. Man, we 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.560 wouldn't have had that if it wentn't for everybody. Just 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.040 keep to me. The bigger part about it is that 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.880 it's had the longevity has had over the years. You 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.760 know what I'm saying, classic right now. You know what 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.920 I'm saying. Coming from an area that wasn't digital, going 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:46.839 into digital like that and just being able to have 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:48.600 that longevity is what makes it what it is. I 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.559 think to me, anyway, first of all, what the hell 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.280 you been bro? Tucked in, Bro, trying to get it together. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:54.960 But I've been plotting over Bro I've been putting some 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.800 new music together. I've been doing some acting. Are you 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.920 acting there? I'm working on a documentary right now to 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.280 tell where I've been at. So just a lot of 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:03.920 good things, bro, A lot of stuff that I needed 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:08.080 to do to to kind of just re remind people, reintroduced, 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.000 and then you know, do my thing from there. So 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.160 is the mohawk you over coming back? It's actually under 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.120 these braids like this is this is really a long mohawk. 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:14.920 I just break it down. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.600 I swear no, lie that when when you when you 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.119 had everything in the chokehold, I'd say, what two thousand 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.120 and nine and you know, going on for a couple 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.760 of years after that, But I remember two thousand and nine, Bro, 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.800 oh no way. 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.520 You said everybody had a mohawk. Everybody we had rosary 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.319 beads and all that. Yeah. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.120 Man, yeah, even that flow your cadence, how you you know, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.400 accentuated your your wordplay. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.360 That was a that was a thing. Yeah, It's crazy, bro, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.920 because I think what really sparked that was just what 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.840 I was listening to and how it was influenced growing up. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.920 So I have so much influence from music, bro, Like 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.800 from Andre three thousand to like even the dmx is 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.440 and stuff like. I used to go get the booklets 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:01.960 and read the lyrics you know what I'm saying, and 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.960 like really see what's going on. So once I got 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.800 into like the t Pains. I think this was right 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.560 after Little John was started going Crazy. He was on 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.640 like his second or third album, going Nuts. So I 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.600 just wanted to take something and just kind of make 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.040 a hybrid you know what I'm saying or what was 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.839 going on. And Roscoe Dash came from that. So what'd 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.680 you get the name Roscoe Dash from? Dash? 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:19.880 Shit? 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:20.080 Bro? 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.959 Oh my gosh, Like, what's your real name? 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.800 My real name is Jeffrey got it? Johnson Junior. I'm 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.600 a junior too, Okay, Ballot, We're Roscoe Dash come from. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:29.960 I went to the internet. Bro. I had a lot 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.320 of names before I had Roscoe Dash, honestly. And it's 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.600 funny because when I was moving around with with Travis Porter, 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.040 they used to try to give me names too, like 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.880 and I'm like, nah, that ain't it. Or I come 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.120 up with a name and they be like, nah, that 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.320 ain't it. But I went to the Internet ultimately, and 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.359 remember we used to have those two lists and two 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.600 column list of like mix and match you draw the 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.480 line to it or whatever. I literally went and found 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.800 like retro superheroes and they after the identities, and I 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.519 just mix and matched it till I found something network 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.600 and I was like, I needed something that's gonna stick. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.079 So basically, you use the old AI. You feel what 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.760 I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've been We've been on 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.600 a a you know. Yeah. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.120 Now I remember, I'm glad you brought up Travis Porter 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.000 one time for Travis Porter, but I do remember vividly. 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.160 Uh it was a version of the song all the 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.639 Way turned up, All the Way was all the Way 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.160 turned up, all the Way turned up, and then I 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.240 saw Roscoe Dash and Soldier Boy version. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:21.959 Yeah. 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.200 I want to talk about that because I don't know 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.919 if the right clarity was ever addressed. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:34.560 What happened, honestly, bro a lot a lot of stuff happened. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.440 Whose song was it first? But everybody thought it was 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.160 the song? Yeah yeah, but that's because they were popping. 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.520 They were they were already look like I was going 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.080 to the club trying to get my song played when 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.040 they were doing Badness, Bitch in the World and ship 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.920 like that. So like respecting them for that because they've 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.839 been doing it before then, and they were black mind 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.720 before then. A lot of people don't know that hard 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.400 hitters or whatever it was. So I've been on them. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.080 I've been on like black Man versus the fan stuff 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.520 sit like that. So nonetheless, I made the song. I 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.480 think my mom had just moved to Like it was 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.320 like a really bad time for America, like we was 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.040 in a recession and shit like that, and so my 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.240 mom had just got laid off and they relocated her 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.760 to Seattle, and so I was in the crib by myself, 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.280 and I went and got like some U Haul blankets 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:11.880 and shit, like I'm literally fitting for myself at like 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.040 seventeen eighteen. Okay, So I went and got some U 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.640 Haul blankets. I set them up in the corner of 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.760 the room, got a microphone, wrapped a washcloth around it 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.600 with a rubber band. I think I was recording on 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.599 like Adobe Audition's three point zero, which was like not 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.080 even some recording software for real, playing it off a 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.240 boombox like it was really put together, you know what 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.880 I'm saying. Like I really kind of nigga rigged it 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.920 a little bit. But nonetheless, I came up with the record. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.640 I knew I needed to re record the record, so 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.080 I went to who was sire the Kids now? But 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.800 it was his arrogant music studios off of Wendy Hill. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.080 I went and re recorded that song, and I did 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.039 another song called crunch Time, but it was just the 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.200 hook in the first verse for turned up so fast forward. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.520 My cousin had a good relationship with them from school 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.920 or whatever, from Miller Grove or whatever. So we went 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.560 to this club, just Jamaking Club off South Harriston one night, 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.960 and we was with Strap and I played the CD 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.520 in the car and he heard it and was like, oh, 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.240 this shit hard. I was like, I actually wanted I 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.800 need somebody to get us still some open spots on 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.400 here with you with the woop. So he was like, man, 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.320 I'm definitely gonna do it woo woop. So a couple 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.960 of days later we went over to CEO Charlie's Mama 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.120 crib to spitch your game office or whatever and cut 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.360 the record in his totality for what the Travis Porter 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.160 version was. A couple of weeks later they put out 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.200 the Differenter album and it ended up on there from 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.840 whoever however, it just ended up on their project as 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.839 Travis Porter featuring I was ATL at that time, young ATL, 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.240 so nobody knew who Roscoe Dash was, you know what 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.240 I'm saying. Until they heard the first verse and they 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.359 heard me actually do it, then it's like okay. So 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.000 I went and moved around with them for a little bit, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.080 and I actually was open to get in a situation 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.839 with I guess. I don't know what the name of 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.000 the Porterhouse label was before it was Porterhouse, but they 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.960 were in they were on their way to building that 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.360 in print or whatever, and so I talked to the CEO, 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.120 Charlie about it, but he wanted me to be included 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:46.680 in the group. And I'm like, Nigga, I can go 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.760 move around with them, you know what I'm saying, because 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.920 it just made sense for them already putting the record 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.280 out as their record. Now they don't have to tell 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.840 anybody that it's not their record, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.760 That's what I think from his perspective, he was thinking 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.520 the boys didn't know nothing about that. They just being 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.240 the boys, you know what I'm saying. So, and we 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.040 had the conversation too, and I told him, I'm like, bro, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.799 you know I got kids, just like I think Strat 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.520 was the only other person that had kids at that time. Like, Bro, 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.880 I gotta you know what I'm saying, it's my shot. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.680 So they was like, Bro, do whatever you gotta do. 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.960 And ultimately it just led to being done that way, 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.200 which is partially boommn fault. Really that was a boom 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.160 man and K moved not the throw K in the 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:16.720 hot seat too, But it worked out, you know what 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.360 I'm saying. And we gave a credit to the original 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.800 producer for the remake and just took off. Soldier did 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.360 that shit in like forty five minutes because of what 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:23.800 was going on. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.640 He sent it right back, so you so boy like, oh, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.640 like yo, we need to get you on this record 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.320 so that you know the brand. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.080 He didn't even know, Bro, I didn't even know until 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.160 it came back. Like he just put the play in 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.240 motion because he was like he already had the I 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.440 think he did turn my Swag on and some other 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.120 shit for Soldiers, so they already was locked in, you 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.080 know what I'm saying. So he got him to send 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.880 it back. I recut the vocals on the new beat 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.240 that K had win his stitch together or whatever, and 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.760 the rest was history. After that, we did like four 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.400 or five records show out Maximum Stories stuff. You did 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.040 all that with k it was like a trip to Valdost. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.479 I used to go like every other weekend and just 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.240 go down to take Valdosta was leading. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.400 You had the I feel like you were just going 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.640 like back back to back back with hits. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.400 Yeah, so we was. We was creating a style then, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:10.560 you know what I'm saying. So it was easy to 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.920 kind of just keep redoing the footprint that we was 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.520 laying at that time, you know what I'm saying. So 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.440 once Kay heard me on the horns, he was like, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:22.880 we're doing horns on everything. I don't get. So, yeah, 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.840 that's how it happened. Not but there wasn't any bad 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.000 blood between There was at some point in time, because 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.280 I mean like it was times we were bumping to 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:31.680 each other at shows, bro we was about to hit, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.520 like we was outside like it was like bad. Like 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.480 they'll tell you this why they was bad at you 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.200 if it was your song. I think it was just 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.800 how it was being portrayed, you know what I'm saying. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.320 They probably felt a little played. I ain't gonna lie. 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:41.760 I probably would too if I took somebody on the 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.360 road and this, that and the third because they didn't know. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.360 I don't think they really knew the perspective of what 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.680 Charlie was trying to do. Oh like the business behind 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.160 the scenes really what blew up their relationship because we 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.880 had a relationship, you know what I'm saying, Like we 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:52.960 was kicking it. We was going to the club, we 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.040 going to the studio. I used to go on the 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:55.280 road with them a little bit. We did all and 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.119 we did all these other you know, Southeast region shows 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.360 and ship like that where I was just coming out 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.080 of them. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So, but 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.240 it just got like that because I think from the 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.960 public perspective, I feel like people were trying to figure 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.720 out what's what and I got I got mad too 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.360 when people were saying, oh, no, it was really their 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:11.920 song and they're telling the story like it was them 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.800 and I'm like, bro, that's not how it happened. Sold 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.680 boy really blew the song up. He went crazy. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.880 I think that's how you know, everything happens for a 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.600 reason because he was the hottest wrapper out. 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.960 But but but that no hands my boy. Yeah, so 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.000 how did that happen? Man? So was on the Walk 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.920 of fo We was on the road. And it's funny 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.800 because the stories kind of correlated because I think we 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.120 all been cool since like Mariachi Mondays and stuff like 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.520 that that we was doing way back in the gap 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.200 for the open mics with et and them, and so uh, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.400 when we started moving around, we used to get booked 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:41.920 for a lot of the same gigs. So literally, when 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.640 I'm about to like hit with Travis Porter and we 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.200 about to fight or whatever outside for whatever reason, Walker's 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.880 like the mediator and this ship because he's like, bro, 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.120 I don't want to get in you know what I mean? 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:55.600 Walker was the mediator mediator and it's crazy wow yah yeah, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.360 so if you know, you know boom. So anyway, long 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.040 story short, we came off the road from doing like 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.600 a little stamp doing a couple of shows together or whatever. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.320 I think this was around the time when Gucci had 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.120 just got out of jail from the second I want 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.880 to get you know, one of them times. So boom, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.000 we all at patchwork and Reese shout out to Recie Recye, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.600 the one who kind of made it happen. She put 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.880 the session together between Drummer Boy in the b room 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.679 and and Waka, So I guess Gucci was in the 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.640 A room. Everybody was showing up for Gucci, but Druma 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.240 snuck out of there. He dropped his back off the 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.679 Gucci and then went and worked in the B room 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.320 with Waka. So when I went in there, he was 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.560 just making it. He was actually about to do something 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.560 completely different, like a whole different style of record that 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.640 nobody hit her before. It's called like trap step or 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.280 something was about to get ready to create. That's something 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.000 that I don't think nobody ever knew. But I heard 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:42.800 that beat and I was like yo. I was like, yo, 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.920 chicks love you. You know what I'm saying. Where this for be? 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.680 Motherfuckers up in the club or whatever you're doing? Like, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.959 they love you for whatever persona they see you as 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.679 or whatever. So I said, you do a song for them, bro, 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.439 It's gonna carry you for the rest of your life. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.440 I said, matter of fact, just write the verse. Bro, 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:55.680 I'm gonna do it. You know what I'm saying, like 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.800 this rite the verse. Drama must have been listening to me, 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.559 listen to him making the beat and saying what I'm 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.320 saying to him, because he started putting that shit together 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.400 and guess what happened. Them horns came on. When the 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:11.840 horns came on, when the horse came, Roscoe came to man. 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.240 So the rest was history. But it's crazy because while 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.920 they ended up being in a room through recy two, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.200 you know what I'm saying. So this is my first 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:18.679 time meeting him. I knew of him before because I 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.280 saw him with the on BT jams and all this 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.600 other stuff when I was in the studio from the 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.199 song he had about the shoes and shit. That's the 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.719 only song I knew at that time, though, you know 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.120 what I'm saying. So I think like halfway through the 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.720 record rec he came and tapped this and was like, hey, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.440 while they had something, I'm like telling to get on 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.080 us to go in a booth, bro, get him on 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.120 the song. So he went and later and the rest 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.880 was history, bro honestly, and it just took off from that. 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.600 I think we put it out on his More About 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.840 Nothing mixtape like a day after we cut it or 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.040 something like that, and it was out of here. Damn. Yeah, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.160 that's the time. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.440 That's one of those timeless hip hop songs, especially, it 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.640 represents a time period place it's just man, it's one 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.920 of the biggest records ever. It's almost to me is perfect. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.400 It's a perfect so I appreciate that. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.439 Yeah, okay, So now what happens next, because I feel 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:10.400 like we're at the height right now and I don't 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.720 really remember anything else after this nobody. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.679 Yeah, yeah, what really happened. I was in a bad 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.360 label situation. So I'm gonna say IM gonna say this 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.160 just to set the record straight because I really don't beat. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.640 I'll be waiting for the right time to say what 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.240 I need to say about certain stuff. So originally when 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.360 I went and did my deal, I did a management 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.880 deal with boom Man right from h M M I. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.880 At the time, he was going crazy in Valdosta. He 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.400 had it going on up here too. He just kind 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.200 of knew how to market it and put it together right. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.240 So he connects me to try to get me a 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.640 deal and take me. Once we put that record out 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.040 and start going crazy, He's like, Okay, now I need 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.560 to get it. Get the situation. Which record was all 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.079 the way turned down, so we had show out and 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.920 all that stuff. We had like a five pack and 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.240 all the way turned up and show. I was in 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.800 that five pack so we already knew we had the 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.600 first and second record. We was just marketing it as 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.040 all five so that when they go listen to it 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.120 on YouTube, they got a foundation. That's a that's free game. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.360 They get foundation of how to you know what I'm saying, 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.079 what you sound like with the next record, gonna sound 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.160 like whatever? Whatever? So boom he goes and gets me 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.800 this deal or tries to give me this deal with 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.400 deaf Jam. The situation with Travis Porter and whose record 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.199 it is messed up the deal with deaf Jam through 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.080 Tony Neil. Tony Niel like put out this is what 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.120 I heard, allegedly put out a Neil hit me too, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:15.840 want to come on the show. Yeah, he put it. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.600 He hit me like last week too. We're cool now. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.599 But he uh he put a petition out that like 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.040 was saying that they're not going to play the record 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.960 because it's not my record. They're gonna only gonna play 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.719 the Travis Porter version or whatever. So that kind of 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.000 sparked the height of the Soldier Boy version. We started 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.319 really mashing the gas. Then we got Interscopes Attention through 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.199 a furnishing deal, so I really was signed to Polo 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.520 to don and this other group called music Line at 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.040 the time. So how'd you get signed to Polo to 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.320 don through Chubby Baby? Shout out to Chubby Baby. Let 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.520 me tell you when I tell you, Bro, Chubby really 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.960 went to bat for me, Bro, and like I didn't 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.440 even know this was happening. I don't even know how 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.240 Chubby got winded me or whatever, but he went on 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:53.679 V V one O three, got Polo to go on 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:54.960 V one O three. I got the sound bite from 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.679 this too, It's gonna be in my documentary where he 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.199 told him like, yeah, we just signed this new kid, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.439 Roscoe Dash with the all the way turned up woo. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.720 I found out then. I didn't even know, like they 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.280 passing my shit around, Like I don't know, Bro swear. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.040 So little did I know boom Man had I think 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:09.319 I went in there that I was doing but just 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.360 signed the boom Man on the men on the management. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:12.640 But I didn't know it was a three sixty, you 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.120 know what I'm saying. So he really had me on 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.520 the management and the artist side of the recording side too, 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.160 But I didn't know that at the time, eighteen years old, 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.079 I ain't know, you know what I'm saying. So boom. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.120 When we get to the next situation with the furnishing 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.960 company furnishing me to Interscope, he had already sold my contract. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.400 I think I was working on kn' cash the lambou 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.600 at this time or demolition of twenty twenty. He sold 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.559 my contract to that furnishing company and got out the way. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.080 But he had already hit my publishing too, so it 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.240 just created a bad situation for everybody. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.040 Oh, he didn't got the publishing, the deal with the 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.200 with the labels, so he didn't already made his money, 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.560 so he like, here, y'all can have them. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.439 That's why MMI is not MI no more, because he 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:48.959 even fell out with the business partner. You see what 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.440 I'm saying. That's why I changed the Authentic Empire. That's 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.360 really Roscoe Dash money that he would have started that 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.640 label with, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So, and 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.400 that that's when the whole like trajectory of what he 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.240 was doing changed a little bit. You know what I'm saying. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.920 I'm kind of to the wolves at that point because 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.560 I'm with some new people that I just met through 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.800 a furnishing company. I'm signed to a deal with a 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.560 major label. So this is really my shot that I 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.559 wanted as a kid dreaming of getting a record deal, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.360 But it's tied to some other bullshit too, you know 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.360 what I'm saying? And do you know what's going on 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.920 at this particular no idea? Like I found out from 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.240 asking how I was like, I want to shoot the 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.600 video for whatever song off my mixtape to help, you know, 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.480 drive to whatever we're doing for that shit. He was like, oh, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.080 we don't handle that no more. I found out in 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.760 the studio bro in the booth, like in this booth 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.120 that we sitting next to. I found out like that swear. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.040 So did that drive you to start looking at like 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.640 the business situation? Said? You sound very educated now? 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.760 Yeah, yeah, now, but at that particular time, did you 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.960 did you when you experienced that situation in the studio, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.200 did it kind of spark your mind and saying like, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:44.200 you know, I need. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.880 To I start looking around. Yeah, you got to look 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.280 around and see what's going on because now I'm already 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.120 in bed. Paul's with these other people that I don't know, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.920 you know what. I'm with the big label and they're 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.760 tied to the situation with the big label, and I 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.320 got another person, Polo who's not even probably not even 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.000 tied to none of this bullshit that's going on over here. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.400 He just wants to give me a shot as a 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.760 you know, being a talent instead. You see what I'm saying. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.080 So it kind of was a rotten egg and a 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:06.560 cart in that. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:11.720 So this is all happening as all hands is out, 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.720
