You just 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.479 have to go with the flow, go with the wave. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.080 A good friend of mine who's sitting over here and 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:37.240 on the couch has had some pretty interesting, uh edible situations. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.560 You know, it can get deep, see you pretty much 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.200 sit you sink into wherever you're at, sink into the abyss. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.360 You know, it's like it's like you drowned in your 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.719 own fluids. What about any have you ever had any 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.400 wild hallucinogenic experiences, whether it's mushrooms or any like d 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:01.840 MT or anything. Crazy? Yeah, plenty. Non's always there's always 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:10.080 a crazy situation. What's the craziest trip. There's been so 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:15.800 many crazy ones, but it's like the latest, the latest one. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.280 The latest one is always the craziest one is because 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.640 you remember it the most. These things are almost like 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.839 flashes in time where you remember bits and pieces, but 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.719 you cannot really explain it. You know what I'm saying. 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.160 But there are there are points to where I can 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.599 explain what I'm trying to say, but not this one 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.320 because I'm looking at that Barkley poster in the back. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.960 Oh you see that Charles Barkley poster. I got. Look, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.400 I got the I got in my room. Yo, man, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.120 I'm on from Phoenix. So we got and then I 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.080 got the old game in my room right there, the 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.240 Bang three sixteen with Vince on there. That's fire. Yeah, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.599 that's crazy. You had the Barkley poster. Were you a 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.680 Barkley guy coming up? Like? Growing up, I was a 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.640 big I mean, I love Barkley. It was my favorite shoe. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.400 All those shoes were incredible. Yeah, he was a sick dude, 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.240 he was. He was definitely one of my favorite players 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.520 growing up. There's no doubt he was no threat to 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.440 the Knicks. Well, yeah, I guess when he played on 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.600 the sixers. Otherwise he was in the Western Conference and yeah, yeah. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.880 It's almost like you can acknowledge somebody who's on the 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.320 other side of the conferences and be like, you know what, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.320 I fuck with that guy because I don't got to 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.440 worry about saying him in the Eastern Conference finals. It 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.600 was never a situation. Yeah, that's fair. Back to your 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.120 mushroom trips. Have you ever I just started to do mushrooms. 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.480 I did mushrooms for the first time in February, and 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.560 it was like kind of therapeutic low key? Was that 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.360 something that like, do you do you find like therapeutic? 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.160 Like do you find it to be therapeutic? Whenever you 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.440 do that shit? You have to eat more? Just keep 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.240 eating more. Well, how many did you eat? Did you 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.480 eat a little bit or a lot? I had a lot? Man, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.679 I had like a half of a chocolate bar. Yeah, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.680 I don't know what that. I don't know what goes 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.720 into the chocolate bars. I what I suggest is you 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.200 grab a handful of mushrooms and stuff them in your 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.480 face and then if you could actually talk to me 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:08.080 in an hour, I would like to hear about it 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.480 after you come home. So just go all, just go 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.560 all the way in. Well, what's the fun and not 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.560 you know, you're gonna fucking have a little piece of 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.760 chocolate bar. Who even knows what you're doing. You might 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.280 have just taken fucking you know, who knows, they might 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.720 have pushed your taki mushrooms in there and you're fucking 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.280 eating shit takis and you're feeling funny. What what would 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.320 be the advice you'd give to anyone as far as 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.640 like your surroundings or where you need to be at 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.480 mentally before you take take the all those rooms to 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.400 the face, because it is a lot about who you're 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.920 around and where you're at. Unless you're so many factors, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:49.040 there's so many it's very situational situation. Yeah, it's like 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.720 you have to be fucking Bill Belichick to get it right. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.240 But for real, at the end of the day, you 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.040 have to you know, you'd like to be in nature. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.880 But there's been times where I have had some sickle 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.679 trips inside. You know, you lost, you know, there's been 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.600 times where hours have been lost, days have been lost. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.400 Wake up, you have no idea what's going on? Every 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.880 time it's different. What I suggest is you just try 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.440 it all. Just try it, try it all, see what 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.000 works for you. Is there a drug that you've tried 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.760 that you would not suggest anyone try. Yeah, don't smoke dust. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.600 Don't do angel dust. I don't know, would you? Is 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.400 that considered angel dust? I'm talking about when you dip 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.960 a cigarette or you dip a blunt into that fucking 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:40.320 liquid for meldehyde. Yeah, the ship dust dip. Yeah, Philly 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.280 rappers like that ship, Philly people. That's a big It 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.000 was a big deal over there. It's big in like 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.400 Staten Island and the Bronx. Stay away from the dust town. Yeah, no, 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.200 it's dust is no good. That was a bad experience 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.040 for you. Yeah, I remember I hit the dust and 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:59.920 I got the flu for fourteen days. Ship. Yeah, that's 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.840 it was like fucking fifteen years ago. But yeoh that's crazy. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.120 Yeah it was bad. Hey man, your new album UH 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:13.040 is called Only for Dolphins, which is a remarkable name 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:18.280 for a project. Thank you very much. I really think 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.040 that UH Latin Grammys is crazy. I love the video 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.160 because I know you've always give the strong man competition. Guy. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.440 You've always you've been talking about how you came up 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.599 watching those throughout the years, and yep, only for dolphins. 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.520 Why is it named only for the for the for dolphins? 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:38.040 And it makes me want to eat mushrooms while listening 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.199 to it, because I feel like that's what I feel like, 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.000 that's how you listen to an album named only for dolphins. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:50.360 On White Bronco, I said on the song called Mount Etna, Yep, 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:55.280 motherfuckers don't deserve me, you know what I mean? My 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.280 next album is only for dolphins because motherfuckers don't deserve me. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.640 And that's you know, that's I've kind of run with 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.480 that scene. Okay, this album is for the this album 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:11.920 is for the guardians of the ocean. That's that's fair. Straight. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.800 I've made enough for motherfuckers. Man, It's time to give, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.520 to give to the ones who really want to receive 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.440 you are. It's crazy how long you've been doing this 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.760 and how you're still in some some way. I don't know, man, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.719 I feel like somehow you're still kind of underrated when 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.600 it comes to like the conversations like these hip hop conversations, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.719 like do you feel like is that kind of why 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.199 you said that on the last album, Like motherfuckers don't 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.600 deserve me because I feel like you don't.

Now, you know, I I 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.040 can only do what I do. You know, the show 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.960 did take over in a crazy way where people definitely 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.920 know me a lot from that, and you know, you 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.080 you want to be able to, you know, bring everything 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.320 together to a head. But like I said, I fucking 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:18.440 I've ushered in this the two and tens.

You know, motherfuck this is this is 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.440 like I'm trying to do Emmitt Smith career. You know, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.720 rappers like running back. It's a very short lived career. 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.680 You get hurt, bum knee, get cut, You don't have 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.920 the same performance as last year. You have one big performance, 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.560 then the next year you're down, down on you, They 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.079 cut you, someone picks you up both waivers. That's what 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.600 this rap shit is. You're a fucking running back. I'm 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:55.240 looking for the longevity you know or however long I'm 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.240 balling out my way, we will. We will take you 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.719 in Arizona. You would like to retire in Arizonas, That's 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.360 what I'm saying. I'll fucking you know, Emma Smith. The 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.480 career ends in Arizona with the record, with the record, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.040 with the all time record. Yep. After a big fifty 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.360 three yard performance that day. It was only fifty three 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.040 yards out and it seemed like you're right, twenty five 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.440 carries fifty three yards. That's crazy to think I remember that. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.200 But he was a work course, yes, and that's what 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:24.920 I am. I'm a work course. But you know, like 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:30.880 you said, man, you know it, you're you transcend yourself 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.720 through in rap. It's been almost you can consider it 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.959 like light years at this point. With a decade, shit 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.360 changes so rapidly and so quickly to still, you know, 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.080 have a shot on my fan base to solidified. And 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.960 you know, I'll always continue to you know, I'll be 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.360 new to somebody today, you know soon just to find 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.920 out about me today. Yeah, it's crazy to think. I 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.000 saw you said that it was all there on Twitter 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.439 Instagram that your first album was ten years ago. It 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.840 really was, it was, you know, ten years ago was 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.680 the first project Doctor Lector came out and Doctor Lecter 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.480 and then Well Done Right with Static. Yeah, yeah, it's 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.440 it's it's so crazy because it makes me just feel 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.080 old as ship because I still remember discovering I forget 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.600 which record it was when you were rapping on the 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.240 basketball court with the next Jersey on. You just experienced, 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:21.480 You're experienced. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's dope though 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.520 to see kind of the pivot that hip hop has 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.440 taken since you started. I do feel like what you 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.000 and and Static and obviously you know you and Alchemist 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:36.520 and I feel like the wave of of being high 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.320 tier with your bars is kind of coming back, and 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.000 I feel like you kind of helped bring that back. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.440 And it's you know with guys like Riselda and you know, 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.880 one of your peers like Freddie Gibbs has had a great, 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.000 you know last twelve months, Like do you feel like 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:56.200 you're rock barco stuff? And you know, like when talking 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.680 about twenty ten Mosburg, you know like we were for 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.640 me and Mayhem bumping that shit NonStop. You know, we 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.800 love rock. Rock is definitely one of those you know 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.160 leaders when it comes to straight bars and fire ass beats. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.320 You know, another person who doesn't get enough love. But 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.800 it's blasphemy because you know the people who really who 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.760 are in the know. It's kind of sole wrap. You know. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.000 It's like you're either smoking some you're smoking some whatever, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.800 or you're smoking what I smoke. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.240 and there's not many people that's smoking what I'm smoking. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.480 So I feel what I understand it. I get the game. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:38.280 It's just for fucking certain people, you know, only for dolphins. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.280 Who do you have a production on there? Man myself AKA, 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:47.600 I'm calling myself the Greek. Anytime I hear a sample 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.280 or something that I like, and I have one of 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:54.560 the homies flip it like al Mugs Darrenger, it's called 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.560 produced by the Greek. So you'll know that. Go you 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.280 want those beats, go to the Greek. You straight up, 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.680 you got to go see the Greek. The funny thing 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.240 is they know me as the Greek, but I'm not 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.720 even Greek. Right, you're out baby. The wire that ships, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.480 by the way, shout out to the Greek and the wire. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.120 I just I just rewatched the wire during uh this 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.680 whole thing. I haven't seen it in you know, maybe 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.320 eight years and season two, man is so much better 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.120 than I remember. It's like a slept on East. And 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.600 why that's the most slept on season because there's not 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.680 as much fucking you know, I don't know, like drug 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.960 dealing or something. Is it? The Wire takes you on 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.440 different angles, you know, it takes you into from the 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:40.360 fucking the news room, the school, you know, the fucking yeah, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.400 the pier, the docks, you know, the long shortman down there. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.160 It's not a fucking game. What do you think all 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.720 the crazy shit comes it comes from the ports? No. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.960 Season two was ah, I like rewatching it. I have 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.720 it either second or third place in my favorite Wire seasons. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.760 And when when I first watched it, I remember just 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:01.760 being so thrown off because if you watch the Tobacca 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.119 Rest in Peace, they did him dirty man, and you 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.239 see like ship like that is inspiring. So the end 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:14.840 of that season, a song called FJ FIJ is playing, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:21.040 and so I rhymed on that back then. So it 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:27.760 was like, I've always been inspired by crazy beats, saying 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.840 ridiculous things as I can over these beats. You know, 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.560 I just do what I fucking do, man, I do 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.520 what I do the best I can. And that's all 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.639 I can say about that. That's fair. I was just 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:46.080 with Ghashi, who's a fellow Albanian. Uh yes, sir, and 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.719 he was extremely uh well, first of all, he played 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:55.120 me the unreleased verse that you did for him. He's 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.800 the best, He's funny, and I was like, bro, why 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.600 did this Albanians saying why did this not make that out? 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.119 By the way, the verse was something crazy. It was 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:10.480 like it was like vintage action some quickie. Yeah, but 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.240 it was dope. But I think, you know, he caught 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.200 me on the spot, man. I told him come over 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.240 here and hang it out in like a true Albani 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.760 and you put me on the spot. Yeah, but we're 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:24.000 talking about you know, like a true Albanian. I deliver true, 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.320 but we're kind of talking about he was. He was 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.240 kind of really really like talking about when he goes home, 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.160 like the fact that like certain maps, you can't find 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.280 Kosovo on certain like Apple maps, and there's like you know, 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.399 yeah I did see that. I remember being there and 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.879 it wasn't on the map, and and just the the 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.600 the idea of like, you know, there's the two flag situation. 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.000 I just watched the episode I just I dived into 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.320 a YouTube wormhole of Fuck That's Delicious last month and 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:56.760 I saw the episode where you went back home to 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:01.080 your grandma's house, and you know, you're obviously walking around 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.960 your freaking celebrity out there.

No matter what. He was talking like that, 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.919 you're you're one of the only other artists that really 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.920 represent where you're from like that, and that there's other 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.199 artists that are from that area that I didn't even 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:35.680 know about. And he was like, see that's the problem. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:36.960 You don't know that, but you know that me and 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.960 Action are from there because we we represent that ship. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:44.080 You know, Like, do you feel like that's what representing 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.240 where you're from? Yeah, Just like he was saying, there's 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:47.680 a bunch of other art he listed a bunch of 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:54.720 other artists that were Albabi he mentioned and or I know, 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.760 but do it a theyse reps where she's from you 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.080 know where she's from. She's just a pop star, you 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.439 know what I'm saying. So people misconstrued maybe, you know, 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:10.119 but doers one million percent? I know one hundred. She's 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.159 the one who broke me out there. I saw you 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.199 did the festival with her out there. Yeah, she's the 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.880 one who brought me home and her father. They brought 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.800 me home, you know, like they brought Goshi there. You 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.280 know what if I brought us home over there the Belushi's. 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.280 How big of a deal with the Belushi's. As a 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.600 kid of me, we didn't know the Belushies were Ourbanion. 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.280 That's the thing. And then you know, you catch wind 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.679 of it like one of the old the Albanians. But 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.040 now you know, Jim always comments on my my pictures 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.240 and ship and we have like little talks on DM 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.800 he's he's in the pot and ship like that.

I don't think that there's I think 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.560 that Ourbanian is like some of the hardest red human 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.600 beings that there are when someone's outban you, they'll fucking 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.760 let you know immediately.

I'm proud of I'm proud of that 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.480 because that's where my roots are. That's I grew up 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.479 with my Albanian grandparents in my house. I grew up 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.960 that way. I was brought up in that manner. I 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.040 go home over there, it just feels feels normal, feels everything, 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.439 everything is okay, you know.

There was war, 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.560 it was communism over there was when Yugoslavia was breaking up, Okay, 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:43.960 when it broke up into a lot of different places. 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.320 You know, it's always been we come from war torn, 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.760 war torn land.
