Speaker 1: to that song in a bit. But no. But but
Speaker 1: for you to have like your first official single with
Speaker 1: one of the biggest artists in the world, like the Baby, Like,
Speaker 1: I just thought that was such a power move Yah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew what I was doing. That was a strategic
Speaker 1: movie for me. I was putting everything in play for
Speaker 1: the future. Was he tapped in with like your movement
Speaker 1: and what you had going on or was it more like, hey,
Speaker 1: look I got a bag for you, come do this record. No,
Speaker 1: it was more like, you know, we sent him the
Speaker 1: record and then and then he was like, bro, I
Speaker 1: fuck with this, I'll fuck with the sound, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Did you have to pay Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we paid him a little bit. Yeah. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he's getting a big bag. Yeah, it might be getting
Speaker 1: a smaller back now, you know what I mean. No,
Speaker 1: what what did you think when you saw everything that
Speaker 1: happened at Rolling Loud? You know what I'm saying, Because
Speaker 1: I think, like I was there watching him set. I was.
Speaker 1: I was there too. I was turned up, I was
Speaker 1: on shrooms. He was on shows, yeah, running around backstage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was running around backstage drunk. So I didn't even
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Yeah, it was wild, like black
Speaker 1: beut in that bitch. If we've seen me at Rolling Loud,
Speaker 1: you did not see me what I loved about Hot
Speaker 1: ninety seven didn't take him off the show, which fired
Speaker 1: at me because I feel like all the other people
Speaker 1: who did that, it was it just seemed like it
Speaker 1: was very like not not genuine, if you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like it was just like the thing to
Speaker 1: do for some free promo for your festival. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I was on another festival. I think he was supposed
Speaker 1: to be on and they had took him off. I
Speaker 1: mean crazy, that whole situation crazy. He's a good dude,
Speaker 1: I always tell every like I know baby for a minute, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a hateful guy. I think he's
Speaker 1: a good person, you know what I'm saying. At the
Speaker 1: end of the day, motherfuckers suck up, you know, so
Speaker 1: players fuck up too, man? And then a boogie eight
Speaker 1: boogie's you know again, that's you know, Bronx finess right
Speaker 1: there High Bridge, you know, like like New York to LA.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you guys are label mates, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, But how was that. How was
Speaker 1: that connection made man send him a record? I was like,
Speaker 1: because I wanted a boogie on that record. So we
Speaker 1: sent him the record and he was fucking with it.
Speaker 1: Because anytime you send an artist the record, who was
Speaker 1: always a chance, Like I feel like money is not
Speaker 1: the motive for almost everybody, especially when you're at that
Speaker 1: level a boogie the baby, like you gotta really fuck
Speaker 1: with the record genuinely. So yeah, so when you're on
Speaker 1: that level, you could because even I be turning down
Speaker 1: features all day, Like I almost don't take no money
Speaker 1: for features because I only do features with people if
Speaker 1: fuck with So I be turning money down all day.
Speaker 1: They've been asking me to do features since I started.
Speaker 1: I never done a paid feature. Really, you've never done
Speaker 1: a paid feature? One only how much did you get paid? Uh?
Speaker 1: It was it was like a favor for favorite type
Speaker 1: thing too, like this someone's artist features only took like
Speaker 1: five bands for it. Oh yeah, that's that's a deal.
Speaker 1: But they be off for me fifteen twenty thirty bands
Speaker 1: like and I don't do it. Why did you kind
Speaker 1: of did you like make a conscious decision to like
Speaker 1: not water down your ship because you know there's rapper rappers.
Speaker 1: See I see rappers that be doing features with everybody
Speaker 1: talking about a thousand and two thousand dollars features like no,
Speaker 1: hell no, nah. Yeah. Some people that's like their business
Speaker 1: mod like Yo, shout out to Boozy. Boozy will go
Speaker 1: to any city he's going to and posting on Instagram.
Speaker 1: But you see Boosy like that. But that's like his thing,
Speaker 1: that's his thing thing. Go say city, it's different, it's different,
Speaker 1: but you see that's why other people try to do
Speaker 1: it like Boosy, but you're not doing it like you're
Speaker 1: not Boosy. Now. It's smart, man, because I think that
Speaker 1: that's like a big mistake that a lot of young
Speaker 1: artists make is thinking about the short dollar and not
Speaker 1: the long play. Yeah, for sure, I'm thinking about the
Speaker 1: future everything I do. Yeah, because if your brand is exclusive,
Speaker 1: if you're not fucking with everything, like, it makes it
Speaker 1: that much bigger of a deal when you drop. If
Speaker 1: you're like I hear, horing yourself out to everybody who's
Speaker 1: got a bag. Yeah, it's even times like it's a
Speaker 1: lot of people I do fu and I do do
Speaker 1: features with them just because I know, like I don't
Speaker 1: want to water down my brand. So I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: I gotta even though you the hemmy, I gotta like
Speaker 1: make sure that my brand steak say where it's at.
Speaker 1: I got to keep my brand on a pedestal. That's smart, man,
Speaker 1: that's smart. What about like what you know? I think
Speaker 1: fashion wise? Your fucking you know, you know, for being
Speaker 1: a fly as fucked right, come on, yeah, are you
Speaker 1: getting into the clothing game at all? Yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: doing merch. I mean no, no, your merch is crazy.
Speaker 1: I feel like my merch is beyond merch already, Like
Speaker 1: it's past it's already elevated past that. So it's like
Speaker 1: a real fashion line. But I want to take it
Speaker 1: to like a high fashion like off white type shit.
Speaker 1: I just drop this with as one of the yeah
Speaker 1: shout outs. Yeah, it's a Marino Infantry OTX collabse So
Speaker 1: we just dropped this and it's going crazy. This This
Speaker 1: is really my first collab with like a bigger brand.
Speaker 1: So and I've been wearing his ship for fucking years already,
Speaker 1: and I've been fucking him as like a person in general,
Speaker 1: So it was only right ship just came full circle.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about you know, coming out of a
Speaker 1: group right Shortlan Mafia, I feel like kind of paved
Speaker 1: the way for a lot of the La ship that's
Speaker 1: going on right now for you know, I think of
Speaker 1: like Draco Grido and you guys that kind of like
Speaker 1: laid the foundation for a lot of the scene right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. How hard was it for
Speaker 1: you to kind of pivot away from the group or
Speaker 1: was it kind of always in the in the plans
Speaker 1: because anybody was like a fan of what you guys
Speaker 1: are doing. You know you you were, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: shout out to everybody in the group. But but I
Speaker 1: think it was obvious that like eventually you had to
Speaker 1: go solo, or at least I feel like it was.
Speaker 1: It was never in the plant. Just like you know,
Speaker 1: people people grow like and just being on tour, being
Speaker 1: on the road, just figuring out life. Like I'm getting older,
Speaker 1: I have my kid. When I have my kid, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, it's like, maybe it's time
Speaker 1: for me to go do my all things. So but
Speaker 1: everybody felt like that. Everybody was like, we want to
Speaker 1: do our own thing. Yeah, I think too, when you
Speaker 1: got so many people involved in trying to get to
Speaker 1: the same thing, right everybody's got to be aligned. Everyone's
Speaker 1: energy's got to match each other, everyone's effort, and you
Speaker 1: know that's why it's so hard for groups to work. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to think it's four different opinions for different energies,
Speaker 1: for personalities. That's that's a lot going on and all
Speaker 1: for of y'all got to be on the same page.
Speaker 1: When you go touch that stage or you guys go
Speaker 1: do an interview. It travel like traveling and torn is like,
Speaker 1: even though it looks fun, that's just hard. It's super
Speaker 1: hard work. So just just to keep that momentum and
Speaker 1: the energy taking a lot of work. So if you
Speaker 1: all the way invested, that's gonna say. When you guys
Speaker 1: are all on tour together, did you was that like?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like when you tour with someone, you're
Speaker 1: kind of living with them, right exactly. So when that
Speaker 1: happened living with people, you get to see, like, God,
Speaker 1: this might not work rctly. That's how that's how all
Speaker 1: y'all all, y'all broke motherfuckers be fighting with y'all mama
Speaker 1: because you're living with people. Man, It's like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: not working. Do you think that that was kind of
Speaker 1: like an eye opener for you when you guys toured, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe we don't get along like we thought we did,
Speaker 1: or yeah, for sure that was that was definitely it
Speaker 1: had to be like one of a big factor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how's fatherhood treating you? Man? Good man? I love it.
Speaker 1: You're saying you have a celebrity baby. Yeah, yeah, he famous.
Speaker 1: He got his own Instagram. Yeah, he got his own Instagram.
Speaker 1: At what the fuck is this? I think Sincere just
Speaker 1: loogal Sincere and shiite what's it? But like you know,
Speaker 1: obviously being a dad man, how's that? How has that
Speaker 1: just changed you as a as a dude man? So,
Speaker 1: like I said, that's one of the main things that
Speaker 1: changed me in my whole mind about everything, because even
Speaker 1: besides a group, like I used to want to look
Speaker 1: out for all my friends, like gonna be like a
Speaker 1: father figure type ro femily, just try to put everyone
Speaker 1: on game. Once my son was born, I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: all my focus and attention has to be on him.
Speaker 1: I can't try to look out for no one. I
Speaker 1: can't be investing my time and energy into nobody else
Speaker 1: besides him, Like I got to focus on him and myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I feel like, you know, when you make it
Speaker 1: into the rap game, it's like all your homies make
Speaker 1: it too low key. Yeah, and that can also get unproductive, distracting.
Speaker 1: It's bad for your pockets, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like, Yo, if you want to be around, what
Speaker 1: are you doing for me? Are you the barber? Or
Speaker 1: you the road manager? Are you security? You know, you
Speaker 1: just can't be kicking it. We just can't be two
Speaker 1: k homies, not for real. Like four or five months
Speaker 1: into my Sunday and Born, I purchased my first home too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I just feel like once once he was about
Speaker 1: to be born, like I started getting my head on straight,
Speaker 1: like started figuring out what I needed to do and
Speaker 1: where I wanted to be. And then you purchased a
Speaker 1: home on your neck. Come on, that's a house in
Speaker 1: Palmdale at least, right or something Corona and get your
Speaker 1: house with that chain. We were talking earlier about your
Speaker 1: fan base being so crazy. What's like the wildest fan
Speaker 1: experience you had, whether it's some like weirdo groupie shit
Speaker 1: or like just what you got, You've had to have
Speaker 1: some weird shit happened, Like I think some of the
Speaker 1: weirdest is when like people like try to follow you
Speaker 1: when you leave the venue and ship, like guys be trying,
Speaker 1: like why are you trying to follow me? What do
Speaker 1: you think? Are real? Like you think I'm gonna white
Speaker 1: too to room the kick it or something that's strange.
Speaker 1: That's like the weirdest shit though, Really you're like that
Speaker 1: just men, male groupies, just males like trying to fucking
Speaker 1: kick it tough. Have you ever had to like has
Speaker 1: it like they'd ever get like out of out of
Speaker 1: control or out of hand where like, yo, what the fuck? Bro? Like, No,
Speaker 1: not really, because I'll be I'll be understanding where they
Speaker 1: coming from. They just like they super big fans. So
Speaker 1: I'll be trying to hold my keep my composer, Hey,
Speaker 1: interrupting the interview to tell you about our good friends
Speaker 1: and odd socks. Now, as you can see, I always
Speaker 1: have my odd socks on. Baby. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: shouts to my bony ass knees. Listen, go to odd

Speaker 1: These are the outsiders, you know what I'm saying. They

Speaker 1: underwear that's right, you can get your odds socks, underwear.

Speaker 1: bootleg cabat checkout, save twenty percent. How big of a
Speaker 1: deal is it? Like representing? You know, because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, man, when we think of Mexicans, right,
Speaker 1: we don't think of in hip hop. We think of like,
Speaker 1: at least how I grew up, it was hey man,
Speaker 1: little Rod mc magic. You know, we're going down the list, right,
Speaker 1: But I don't think that there's really been like a
Speaker 1: Mexican artist that's really dropped music that I you know,
Speaker 1: as a rapper that's like on the level that you're
Speaker 1: on that also isn't exclusive to Mexican people. If that
Speaker 1: makes sense, because you know, if you're listening to Little Rob,
Speaker 1: you either had to be from like a Mexican area,
Speaker 1: like I'm from Phoenix. I'm like, yeah, not fucking summer
Speaker 1: Nights is my shit. But like some kid from like
Speaker 1: you know, Baton Rouge, ain't gonn up. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you're making, like you know, on a
Speaker 1: on a very big stage. You're trying to feel good.
Speaker 1: I think you feel amazing, like I'm making history and
Speaker 1: I made a whole new wave and I see a
Speaker 1: lot of people following the suit and a lot of kids.
Speaker 1: They got so much potential doing what I'm doing now.
Speaker 1: I think the shout out to everyone, Swede, Swifty Blue.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many dope Mexican rappers that are
Speaker 1: killing it right now. So I feel like maybe young
Speaker 1: and do boy, I'm happy as fuck that I'm at
Speaker 1: the forefront of all this. You feel me like I'm
Speaker 1: really making history and then they go and continue making history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you're kind of like cause you
Speaker 1: are kind of like leading the way low key for
Speaker 1: a lot of people because you're on the major label.
Speaker 1: You got the big features, you got the big records,
Speaker 1: you got the big you got the tour, you got
Speaker 1: the fans. You know what I'm saying, swag Man, if
Speaker 1: anything on the blueprint, y'all gotta likely pay attention to
Speaker 1: what I do and and just try to do it
Speaker 1: better when you Yeah, because I think with with what
Speaker 1: you do with your brand, with the with the merch,
Speaker 1: with the weed, just with everything, I gotta be exclusive.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Just how I was talking about
Speaker 1: the features me and all that feature ship that's out
Speaker 1: the windows. Like you, I feel like, you know when
Speaker 1: it's really a good decision and when it's not, like
Speaker 1: niggas be thirsty for features. I'm like, you gotta be exclusive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you know. Exclusiveness all the way there, It
Speaker 1: is there, it is if if so, maybe someone's never
Speaker 1: heard you, right and they get your album and they
Speaker 1: see this and I'm gonna check out gez world. What's
Speaker 1: the one song you wouldn't want them to go straight to? Man? See?
Speaker 1: Probably the blue books? Shit you feel me? I love
Speaker 1: that song like the woman I made it. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a banger right here. So that's one of my
Speaker 1: personal favorites. My second personal favorites, Poet, and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: send like someone that's barely first listening. I'll send that
Speaker 1: to like all my organic fans, my day when fans. Yeah, Poet,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a section eight beat when a little
Speaker 1: baby producer. So it's Atlanta sound and it's meat like
Speaker 1: just fucking with new sounds. So I want all my
Speaker 1: fans go listen to this ship. Yeah, I mean you're
Speaker 1: obviously someone who's kind of been associated with with with
Speaker 1: with sipping and ship like that. Do you kind of
Speaker 1: feel like that's a double edged short to like because
Speaker 1: you know there's a dark side to that. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a dark side of everything though, to alcohol,
Speaker 1: to everything, oh for sure, except for maybe not weed.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the dark side of the weed is,
Speaker 1: except for maybe getting fat and eating too much. Hey man,
Speaker 1: it's a dark man once you get too fat, man,
Speaker 1: or you eat too much of an edible and then
Speaker 1: you lose your fucking mind and then jump off of
Speaker 1: a building or something. But now, but just the sipping thing,
Speaker 1: like I like you said, it's a dark side. I
Speaker 1: think you know what's crazy? Is it the money bag
Speaker 1: Yard record? Wakeisha. That's just going crazy. It's a very
Speaker 1: like if you listen to what he's saying, it's like
Speaker 1: literally the the the like the predicament. Every person who
Speaker 1: gets on Lean is in. It tastes good, it makes
Speaker 1: you feel good. But damn man, but don't do it.
Speaker 1: But have you fucked up? Have you super fucked? Have
Speaker 1: you not on ship? Like when I was sibling lean,
Speaker 1: I can. I haven't sibling in months. Congrats, man, that's big.
Speaker 1: When I was sibling lean, I probably I haven't siblings
Speaker 1: since my birthday last year, so it's probably about to
Speaker 1: be a year. That's big. Man. Hell yeah, that shit
Speaker 1: really slugged you the fuck down. And besides it's slowing
Speaker 1: you down what it's doing to your body, you're just
Speaker 1: taking years off your life. Like with anything, any vice,
Speaker 1: feel me alcohol all that. So the whole quarantine I was,
Speaker 1: I was being healthy mentally, uh physically everything. So I
Speaker 1: feel like my head got clear and that that's what
Speaker 1: helped me do this album and being a good space
Speaker 1: something right now for so anyone watching this right now, man,
Speaker 1: stay off the Lean, man, stay stay off everything as
Speaker 1: much as you can. Man. It's to smoke some of
Speaker 1: his weed, because weed is good, go get that exactic
Speaker 1: anxiety X. Yeah, only did you have like a low
Speaker 1: point with with the lean ship, like a scary, scary
Speaker 1: situation that maybe made you rethink whether or not you
Speaker 1: wanted to fuck with that? Now with the Lean it's
Speaker 1: just like with everything. I feel like drinking already and everything.
Speaker 1: It's just like that should get depressing, Like you can't
Speaker 1: be doing it all the time. It just slow you down.
Speaker 1: Like and me, since I am a businessman, I have
Speaker 1: so much shit to do. I can't I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: I can't just be high. Hey, what what do you
Speaker 1: think attributes to your mentality being so young? Like? Was
Speaker 1: it something growing up? Was it your family? Because I
Speaker 1: think I think maybe seeing my mom because it's not
Speaker 1: like I had, I didn't have no father figure, like,
Speaker 1: so I think maybe just seeing my mom work twenty
Speaker 1: four to seven like all fucking day. Just seeing how
Speaker 1: hard she worked made me want to be like I
Speaker 1: want to I want to be a hard worker too,
Speaker 1: feel me, But I'm not about to do no regular shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just think, like there's not a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are your age that think the way you think.
Speaker 1: It's very rare. I don't know what it is maybe
Speaker 1: you know what it might be too. Just seeing like
Speaker 1: all these other artists, like the few that are like me,
Speaker 1: and just hearing them talking. That's just motivating. So you know,
Speaker 1: like we got a big we got a big influence
Speaker 1: on all the youth who motivated you man, here Nipsey
Speaker 1: talk like here Nipsey. I used to watch all his
Speaker 1: interviews this ship. Just hearing him talk, you could just tell,
Speaker 1: like how different someone is. Yep, he's wired different. Man.
Speaker 1: You can see like where their head is at. And
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, I think Nipsey influenced so many people.
Speaker 1: Think of why she's doing you know, why she's doing
Speaker 1: the weird thing he's doing. He's got his shoes, his
Speaker 1: clothing line. You know. I think like Nipsey's influence will
Speaker 1: just live forever from this point because you're going to
Speaker 1: influence somebody, you know what I mean, and and so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. So how's your relationship with you know,
Speaker 1: with with with with all the other guys in shortline
Speaker 1: right now? You still talk to Phoenix or is it
Speaker 1: just everyone's just kind of doing their own thing. Everybody
Speaker 1: just do their own thing. I don't really keep communication nobody.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not beef, but it's like it is
Speaker 1: what it is. It was understood, don't got to be
Speaker 1: explained to work out. Yeah, I mean that's that ship happens, man,
Speaker 1: it happens like a real relationship. Like what's it like,
Speaker 1: you know, being because I'm you're in a relationship, right yeah,
Speaker 1: and and and I think you're pretty public with your
Speaker 1: relationship right as far as like, how is it hard
Speaker 1: to to do that and also be a fucking rap
Speaker 1: star that girls love you? Bro? Like women love Oh geez,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Man, they love you bro,
Speaker 1: so fash and fly. How tough is that? You know?
Speaker 1: Because I know what it's like just being me and
Speaker 1: dealing with my wife. You know what I mean, we
Speaker 1: take we take it for what it is. Man. We
Speaker 1: me and my girl got to embrace the fact that
Speaker 1: girls love me because we out here selling eyelashes and
Speaker 1: lip gloss and all that. So yeah, I was just just
Speaker 1: gonna get to that. You feel me, I'm like molding
Speaker 1: my girl into a business woman herself. Feel me. You
Speaker 1: talk about whose idea was it to do the eyelashes
Speaker 1: and lip glosses? So it was it like came about
Speaker 1: together like she was getting eyelashes and I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 1: what's the price on there? We start talking chopping it up,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, we need to do this. And
Speaker 1: then she creatively designed all the girl stuff. She's super creative,
Speaker 1: so she be coming up with everything, and I just
Speaker 1: be throwing the ideas out there, like what we could do,
Speaker 1: and then ship she would fucking put the stamp on it.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, the first rapper with his own eyelashes come
Speaker 1: on and they look nice as fuck you. I gotta
Speaker 1: go cops. Some the ladies tap in, tap the fuck in,
Speaker 1: and you got lip gloss, lip gloss. That's like MC
Speaker 1: magic pulled up here once and this motherfucker had his
Speaker 1: own makeup palette. A right, man, I'm gonna get I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get into all that. Man. You see you see
Speaker 1: what what's your name? Kylie? Kylie? And Rihanna's a billionaire
Speaker 1: off of makeup, not even the music I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: Like the music is just like a vessel for everything else.
Speaker 1: What about you say about your first house, You're gonna
Speaker 1: try to get just into something more like real estate? Ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what I'm gonna do this? Uh? This in a
Speaker 1: few months, probably because I've been getting some bags. Man's
Speaker 1: the world opening back up. I'm about an upgrade house.
Speaker 1: I'm about to give myself away bigger house. My house
Speaker 1: already big. I'm about to get away bigger house and
Speaker 1: use that one as a rental property. Smart man, just
Speaker 1: keep doing that ship over exactly exactly, just keep upgrading
Speaker 1: the house. I might keep this one as big as fuck,
Speaker 1: but you'll know what type of money I'll be making
Speaker 1: next year. So we're gonna see just like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: might hold off, man, we might really really really upgrade.
Speaker 1: You know, what is it like for you? Like obviously
Speaker 1: you know, being from LA and you know, I think
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot if people maybe get caught up
Speaker 1: in some bullshit being at home, Like obviously rest in
Speaker 1: peace to Nipsey. You know X was in his neighborhood
Speaker 1: in Florida when he got hit. Like do you like
Speaker 1: stay out the fucking way, man? And not because you
Speaker 1: ain't real or whatever, but like sometimes you said you
Speaker 1: got a family, and then you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: you get more hate probably from home than anywhere else.
Speaker 1: Usually when you're popping like that, I'd definitely be trying
Speaker 1: to stay out the way, but then I got my
Speaker 1: my moments. I'm like, man, let's go everywhere everywhere in
Speaker 1: the city. You feel me, But I'd be definitely staying
Speaker 1: out of bullshit, like like my mind too focused on
Speaker 1: business just to be involved in some bullshit. Definitely, I'll
Speaker 1: be trying to stay out the way. That's smart. Man.
Speaker 1: You got security obviously, so yeah, people, it's all right
Speaker 1: to have security. Hell yeah, you got exactly. Man, I
Speaker 1: ain't got no security. When you're a fucking idiot, or
Speaker 1: you ain't popping enough to never have to worry about security,
Speaker 1: you gotta have six times, like I ain't got security.
Speaker 1: It's like, bitch, because you can't afford it anymore because
Speaker 1: that money's running out. What do you being a Mexican dude.
Speaker 1: He's Mexican, he could. I'm glad he dropped the bag
Speaker 1: because now I'm the one. Yeah, he fucked the whole
Speaker 1: ship off, so he sixth nine left the whole ship
Speaker 1: for you. Like, man, it's like whatever he did didn't
Speaker 1: even happen because it was eras yeah, race time now
Speaker 1: it's yours was meant to be. It was definitely meant
Speaker 1: to be. Man, are you already kind of working on
Speaker 1: new music or are you just focused on dropping this
Speaker 1: album pushing it and then I'm about to drop this
Speaker 1: album and then I think I need to get right
Speaker 1: back in the studio. Man, I think I might need
Speaker 1: to give you a GEZ World Part two this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, not this year, topping next year you did.
Speaker 1: We were talking about the d D song earlier, so
Speaker 1: I want to address the song because I saw this
Speaker 1: song and I was like, this is one of the
Speaker 1: most beautifully ignorant things that speak to this time. Because
Speaker 1: everyone I meet and greets people was coming up having
Speaker 1: me sign their d D cards. That's amazing. I just
Speaker 1: thought it was like the perfect anthem for everyone in
Speaker 1: my life that I knew was just people were getting
Speaker 1: it running. I got homies still getting into it. I'm
Speaker 1: like bro shill like, but now motherfuckers was really running
Speaker 1: it up. I'm sure everybody, Well, if nothing bad having
Speaker 1: you on, sure everybody else enjoyed fucking coronavirus. Y'all was
Speaker 1: sitting at home just getting money kicking him. Man, even
Speaker 1: if you weren't doing the scamming shit, even if you
Speaker 1: just had a lot of people who had part time
Speaker 1: jobs got fired and was making more money staying at
Speaker 1: home like that, like this piece of shit right here.
Speaker 1: I know a bunch of people that that was working.
Speaker 1: They just had no work, no more had money was
Speaker 1: getting paid. Am I going to go to McDonald's work
Speaker 1: forty hours or am I going to stay home and
Speaker 1: make more money and fucking play two k. Hopefully a
Speaker 1: lot of people use it as an opportunity to like
Speaker 1: start a business or take some risk. They buy some
Speaker 1: good Gucci, though, some good Louis. I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't think nobody that as a fucking opportunity there probably
Speaker 1: right money y'all was fucking up. I've seen everybody buying
Speaker 1: the more expensive weed. I was like, y'all have cookies.
Speaker 1: I got y'all cookies and the link cup. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had a good I have a good friend that is
Speaker 1: going to see this and know everyone knows what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, but he's been doing his thing with that,
Speaker 1: and uh he's always like, yo, all you got is designer,
Speaker 1: Like you'll come to LA and just go and just
Speaker 1: fuck off like twenty thirty bands on Designer and then
Speaker 1: be like, yo, caam, I'm trying to make some business moves.

Speaker 1: to not sell. Yeah exactly. I was like, that's what
Speaker 1: people are stupid, because like that's money that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: spend on some dumb ship, right, And it's just like
Speaker 1: when ship goes down like that, you buy more, you
Speaker 1: don't sell. That ship came back, so now exactly, it
Speaker 1: just went up this past. This is anytime with this
Speaker 1: crypto ship, because I do the crypto ship. Anytime, everyone's
Speaker 1: sad because ship took took a ship and you see
Speaker 1: you need to buy some mo you buy more. Literally
Speaker 1: that's what I did. I was like, all right, I'm
