Speaker 2: I grew up on third ave of exposition, moved from
Speaker 2: there to like forty eighth and second half, efty, fourth
Speaker 2: and third out just like you were moving around.
Speaker 1: Moving around like every three or four years. My whole life,
Speaker 1: I was moving, but just all throughout LA. I went
Speaker 1: to Tom Bradley in elementary, I went to Pond's Middle
Speaker 1: School in uh Cuver City, and then I graduated high
Speaker 1: school at Dorsey High School.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's what's up? Yeah, And so what about
Speaker 2: like because I barely maybe heard of you maybe about
Speaker 2: a year ago. Now you're I think him Beezy came
Speaker 2: up here where he was supposed to come up here,
Speaker 2: but his manager was here, and I think he manages
Speaker 2: you too, or he did, yeah he did yep. And
Speaker 2: he was like Yolo Vada and I was like I
Speaker 2: keep hearing that, and you were getting booked in Arizona
Speaker 2: like little spots. Who the fuck is this guy on me?
Speaker 2: And I'm not, I mean, I'm on TikTok. You go
Speaker 2: to my TikTok page. Check out my content. But I'm
Speaker 2: not on TikTok like that. Yeah, I'm not swiping and oh,
Speaker 2: what's this song on this?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: But you're going crazy on TikTok and shit, But how long?
Speaker 2: Like what's the music journey like for you?
Speaker 1: Like? Man, I really I've been doing music since twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen for real, but I didn't take it serious till
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's when I really put my foot on
Speaker 1: the gas and started getting on around the city. I
Speaker 1: had this song called Gangsters and Wretcht and I have
Speaker 1: put like four artists on it, like as Bad, Chef
Speaker 1: Boy Killer, a Front Fanatics. Then I got Roocie on it,
Speaker 1: so I can't yeah, shout out Roucie. I came off
Speaker 1: the rip trying to like be on some like unity
Speaker 1: right unit, bring everybody together, and I made like a
Speaker 1: banger and for the whole first minute of the song
Speaker 1: is just me gassing probably like I think like thirty
Speaker 1: two bards or something. And then everybody else got like
Speaker 1: a sixteen And that's what got me buzzing in the
Speaker 1: city for real in twenty twenty. And then I didn't
Speaker 1: blow up for real for real until wap it came out, right,
Speaker 1: That's what changed everything for me, changed my life. But
Speaker 1: that was just a year ago. That wasn't long ago. No,
Speaker 1: that was just a year ago. Before that, I was
Speaker 1: still working nine to five?
Speaker 2: Where was your last nine?
Speaker 1: Last line of five? Uh? Stizzy? I worked Stizzy warehouse
Speaker 1: dispensary at the warehouse.
Speaker 2: Though Steezy, you know they don't sponsors.
Speaker 1: They reached out once, right, Yeah, that was just like
Speaker 1: a little over a year ago probably, Like so.
Speaker 2: You were like just like helping with the like the package.
Speaker 1: Yeah, packaging everything, putting the labels on, shit like that.
Speaker 1: My last job on me just in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: Like at the end, that's fire. Do you still get
Speaker 2: like Stizzy? Like if you need to know, No.
Speaker 1: I don't really go there like that. I don't really
Speaker 1: smoke like that big smoke. Nah. I just stopped drinking too.
Speaker 1: Oh good for you for the new year.
Speaker 2: What inspired you to stop drinking?
Speaker 1: Just I'll be going too crazy? Yeah, I'm a shot
Speaker 1: of clock every five minutes type of.
Speaker 2: And you're in the club a lot because you get
Speaker 2: booked in all the clubs.
Speaker 1: Now, I've been booked all year.
Speaker 2: So what was your like drink of choice, tequila, I'm assuming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for Cosa Migos red everybody off the Casa always.
Speaker 2: I just wonder when the tequila era is gonna end.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever going in.
Speaker 2: Because it went from like the Henny era, so Rock
Speaker 2: had to run us white boys had Fireball for a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I never now it tasted that.
Speaker 2: Fire hose fire. What I was off that ship for
Speaker 2: like eight years of my life. That's crazy, but but
Speaker 2: it's it's one hundred percent. The pandemic created the tequila wave,
Speaker 2: think so oh yeah, because everybody was getting the d
Speaker 2: D and then they were able to go get that
Speaker 2: in the nineteen forty the nineteen forty two and the
Speaker 2: fucking Colossa zool and then Costa Migos just blew the
Speaker 2: fuck up in the pandemic. So now everyone drinks tequila,
Speaker 2: which is probably the best liquor health wise you could drink. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's all bullshit. It's liquor. But if you
Speaker 2: had to pick.
Speaker 1: One, definitely gonna be.
Speaker 2: That's what's up? You have f cancer on your face?
Speaker 2: What inspired that?
Speaker 1: I lost my dad to cancer in twenty sixteen. Oh,
Speaker 1: Damn what kind of can pancreatic and then it wind
Speaker 1: up spread into his liver like later.
Speaker 2: That's tough. That's tough, man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what pretty much inspired me to even
Speaker 1: wrap for like tell my story and shit like that.
Speaker 2: It's dope too, because you know, when we think of
Speaker 2: like LA hip hop, a lot of people who don't
Speaker 2: live here or who just kind of perceive whatever LA
Speaker 2: hip hop or the scene is like here. I feel
Speaker 2: like sometimes they think of negativity first because of some
Speaker 2: of the politics, some of the gang stuff that happens here.
Speaker 2: But like, right, you know, I think back to like
Speaker 2: rewind to like two thousand and eleven, twelve, even twenty ten,
Speaker 2: the party music that was getting made you know, like
Speaker 2: YG even before that with the jerk movement, and you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So it's dope to see like
Speaker 2: like the stuff we're talking about, like it's fun, it's
Speaker 2: party music, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like not definitely that uh, that wave like those years
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned at all, that's inspired my whole
Speaker 1: career and like you see the samples I'll be doing
Speaker 1: to be like a lot of songs from back then.
Speaker 1: That's when I was like in high school and going
Speaker 1: to the little clubs and ship you feel me here
Speaker 1: on YG Joe Moses tied out a sign all those
Speaker 1: I just I'm trying to bring back that type of energy.
Speaker 2: Just it's missing, feel me.
Speaker 1: It's definitely missing.
Speaker 2: It's missing in general in music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for show for show, like mostly out here though.
Speaker 2: I know, like no especially here, but just in general,
Speaker 2: Like I'm thinking, like damn, like the club records that
Speaker 2: I could play that are current, that are between like
Speaker 2: ninety five bpms and like one ten, it's just it's
Speaker 2: really your ship and three one oh baby, that's current.
Speaker 2: There's nothing else that's true. There's nothing else I don't
Speaker 2: even funk with.
Speaker 1: Under like like one ten no more. I'm should be
Speaker 1: like one twelve.
Speaker 2: And no, your ship's up there. Yeah crazy, I gotta
Speaker 2: beat match. So I'm curious. When I heard your stuff,
Speaker 2: I was like, there's no way any of these samples
Speaker 2: are clear.
Speaker 1: They are now. They are now, but they weren't for
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, nah, hell no, because I was like, damn, yeah.
Speaker 2: This is motherfuckers. He's just running.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel me. I was just I didn't really
Speaker 1: know much about the business part of the music industry.
Speaker 1: When I was coming up, I was just young, hungry,
Speaker 1: and like I said, that era of twenty eleven, twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: YG and all that, I was like in love with
Speaker 1: that that era of music. So I just wanted to
Speaker 1: like put my own taste on those beats. So when
Speaker 1: I was coming up, you know, I didn't know nothing
Speaker 1: about clearance samples or anything. That I was just I
Speaker 1: hear a remix, I turned that motherfucker on and guess up.
Speaker 1: And then once I started catching some steam and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I got to learn the business side, right. But that's
Speaker 1: when I started getting lawyers and you feel me?
Speaker 2: And why isn't it say, like did anybody anybody hit you? Like,
Speaker 2: does Tiger reach out to you and be like, hey bro,
Speaker 2: this is cool, but like I'm gonna need my bag.
Speaker 1: Tiger definitely reach out to me, and I don't know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need my back. Shit. It was more on
Speaker 1: some let me help on remixed type shit.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, I don't know what happened, but that's
Speaker 2: the thing. It's like, yeah, get on the remix so
Speaker 2: then we can actually clear it.
Speaker 1: Right, got to have it. But I don't know, like
Speaker 1: I feel like all the artists that that's coming up
Speaker 1: right now is getting remixes with much more ease. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you notice that, but like like three
Speaker 1: ten Baby like Boom, he got like five popping, crazy
Speaker 1: ass artists on the remix, and I feel I haven't
Speaker 1: had that opportunity yet to.
Speaker 2: Just I think it's gonna happen. I think, so who
Speaker 2: I think, I think. I think a lot of it
Speaker 2: is like, well one like Soolk City. Solk City is
Speaker 2: a fucking big record. It's huge, huge record. And I
Speaker 2: think that you know, uh that his team is he's
Speaker 2: got a good team run. Yeah, for sure, he does
Speaker 2: have a great team of rush. Shout out to my guy, Gentry.
Speaker 2: I don't know what your team's like, so I can't
Speaker 2: speak to your team.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm independent for sure. I just got a manager,
Speaker 1: you feel me.
Speaker 2: Recently you just got a new manager because you told
Speaker 2: me you had your old manager.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to get rid of that situation. But
Speaker 1: I do have a new man now. But I'm still independent,
Speaker 1: like I don't have to.
Speaker 2: Is your is your stuff just straight? Just ro kid?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh ship? So how hard is it too clear? These
Speaker 2: big records after they're already out.
Speaker 1: Well, it just depends on who you know for real.
Speaker 2: Because okay, what songs all together if you sampled so far.
Speaker 1: Ship because it's a lot as far all right, So
Speaker 1: as far as like after I got on wop It,
Speaker 1: Eat It Up Up, that's another one sample I sample
Speaker 1: lean back Well, you know the song is, yeah, Rex City,
Speaker 1: you feel me lean back up to me?
Speaker 2: The toughest was the toughest. Is the toughest one to
Speaker 2: clear usher? Yes, it has to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the toughest one. We got it all
Speaker 1: taken care of now, but that was definitely because that's
Speaker 1: a that's a mega hit, right.
Speaker 2: There's like one of the biggest songs ever.
Speaker 1: Me And that's that's one that I was like, I
Speaker 1: didn't touch it like them there. I think it was
Speaker 1: like four years into my career that I wanted to
Speaker 1: do it. I'm like, damn, I want to do yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, that's too big of a hit. Let
Speaker 1: me let me chill on that one. As soon as
Speaker 1: I did it, wop It took off.
Speaker 2: Damn me.
Speaker 1: It's like, damn, it'd be like that though, Like songs
Speaker 1: that I that I want to do, like Rack city.
Speaker 1: I want to do that beat years ago. I'm like,
Speaker 1: let me just hold on to it. I gotta do
Speaker 1: something special.
Speaker 2: So do you have a producer that knows how to
Speaker 2: speed up the ship the way you like it?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I'm like them. My producer shout out load
Speaker 1: of great uh scumming Uno. And then my engineer he
Speaker 1: also producer, his name Marv. He makes a lot of I.
Speaker 2: Say, for what you do, an engineer really can just
Speaker 2: do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just my engineer, all right, So drums under it
Speaker 1: all the beats that I got that y'all hearing it
Speaker 1: don't sound like that when a producer send it to me.
Speaker 1: It sounds like some whole other ship.
Speaker 2: The engineer got to put his hands on here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is producing? Yeah for sure, definitely. Yeah, it's interesting
Speaker 2: because I liked it. I like it because what you're
Speaker 2: doing is it is it's just a new taste. It's fun,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And is there is is have you decided? Have you
Speaker 2: have you fucked around with doing anything not that isn't sample? Basic?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm about the I'm about the turn of my
Speaker 1: album actually today how.
Speaker 2: Much of it is samples? How much of it is
Speaker 2: because you're kind of known for that.
Speaker 1: The only samples are the songs that y'all heard already.
Speaker 2: Oh nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 2: Like same bpm range though it's like that you're that's
Speaker 2: your bag.
Speaker 1: I'm versatile. I got a whole different range that people
Speaker 1: don't even know about. That's why I haven't been doing
Speaker 1: any interviews because I really been one people to just
Speaker 1: hear a different side of me first. You feel me
Speaker 1: right now? Everybody think I'm just the club guy. I
Speaker 1: got all these type of turn up bangers, which I do,
Speaker 1: but I got a whole nother side to me. So
Speaker 1: now that I'm about to put this project out, I'm
Speaker 1: open to like doing interviews, you know, just so people
Speaker 1: could get a different side of me. First.
Speaker 2: Well you you obviously you alluded to being fully independent
Speaker 2: like that can't be. Uh, everyone's got to be on
Speaker 2: your line though. I mean maybe not everybody, but a
Speaker 2: lot of people are banging.
Speaker 1: Their line I'm sure since the beginning.
Speaker 2: So what has been the reason why you haven't try
Speaker 2: to go with a label yet?
Speaker 1: I feel like I haven't reached my full potential yet.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because you're whatever deal you're saying, right, now
Speaker 2: they're going to fuck you in some capacity. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't want to use the word fuck you, but
Speaker 2: but they might have the leverage you could. You could
Speaker 2: put this album out, build up a lot more leverage,
Speaker 2: and then come back to the table and get a
Speaker 2: much better deal properly. Yeah, definitely, that's crazy. Man. It's
Speaker 2: wild too, because man, I feel like, you know, there's
Speaker 2: been so many dope LA artists that I'm going to
Speaker 2: tell you this, be careful because sometimes I've seen this
Speaker 2: happen where people will overthink themselves out of being bigger
Speaker 2: because they want to stay independent a little longer.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying.
Speaker 2: I've seen this happen, and I mean some of the
Speaker 2: bigger LA names ever had a really big record. I'm
Speaker 2: not talking about recently. I'm talking about Le's say, the
Speaker 2: last ten or twelve years. I had opportunities to take
Speaker 2: deals and like maybe elevate things to another level and
Speaker 2: we're like, nah, not yet. So just be careful with that,
Speaker 2: you know, because you never know. If the album comes
Speaker 2: out and it doesn't do what you hope it does,
Speaker 2: then it can hurt you with your talks.
Speaker 1: Nobody noticed, but I'm putting my album out through a
Speaker 1: distribution coming.
Speaker 2: Oh you're doing distro, yeah, Empire not create, oh create
Speaker 2: shouts to create creates doing that thing. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a good creates. You want to partner like that, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, somebody who's will give me some
Speaker 2: label services but not fucking exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh yeah, that's the way to go right there
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's smart. So I'm excited to hear what you guys.
Speaker 2: So is there any remixes being worked on? Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a lot of h I got a
Speaker 1: lot of remixes on the way. I'm just I've just
Speaker 1: been saving everything for real, Yeah, just getting ready like
Speaker 1: for the album.
Speaker 2: Have you had like like a good experience with some
Speaker 2: of the OG's on the LA side of hip hop
Speaker 2: in terms, because you there's no way everyone's in the
Speaker 2: club here. They all are at fucking uh you know
Speaker 2: the clubs they're they're all Dragonfly, They're all at Kingpin Monday's,
Speaker 2: They're all here in your records, so they know your ship.
Speaker 2: Has it been a positive experience with any of these guys,
Speaker 2: anybody reached out like you said, Hey, I don't know
Speaker 2: how I you know, like you mentioned earlier like three
Speaker 2: one old Babies got five of these. He got mustard,
Speaker 2: blue Bucks, fucking blue face all on the remix.
Speaker 1: But honestly, I feel like, uh, I'm been having good
Speaker 1: and bad experiences. I'll say more bad than good for sure.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people reach out to me. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna throw them names out there, but niggas will
Speaker 1: reach out and be like, fuck with what you're doing
Speaker 1: with your movement, let's do something. And I'm in the
Speaker 1: studio night, I'm at the studio right now. What you're
Speaker 1: trying to do. I'll never hear from them again. Wow ever,
Speaker 1: And it just kind of make me feel like, damn,
Speaker 1: Like is it because I'm only doing remixes?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Maybe they don't. Maybe they don't think the
Speaker 2: record will get cleared. That might be it.
Speaker 1: Maybe, but I got that side handled though, well now
Speaker 1: they know, Yeah, we'll see. Maybe they fuck with me now.
Speaker 2: Nah. I mean either way though, that's that's that's dishing
Speaker 2: genuine though, Like, don't reach out to me if like
Speaker 2: we can't go get in and cut.
Speaker 1: Some I'm really but I'm really like from the slum,
Speaker 1: like I'm from La You feel me? So to get
Speaker 1: hit up by these people that I looked up to.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's a big deal to me, Like I don't I
Speaker 1: don't like Hollywood about it or nothing. I'll take that
Speaker 1: ship to heart. When I first started blowing up off
Speaker 1: a whop It and Tiger DM me, I cried, I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna lie.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I cried because that was my first not because it
Speaker 1: was Tiger. It was just like, but that was my
Speaker 1: first time getting uh, getting notoriety from somebody.
Speaker 2: Big, and that reaffirms that you're on the right path exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this at the very beginning of January.
Speaker 1: Whip people up. In December, I lick at my phone.
Speaker 1: I wake up from a nap when my son I
Speaker 1: look up Tiger wop It remix. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: I show my mom. I started screaming. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: That's so far because that's a moment that could change
Speaker 1: somebody life yet.
Speaker 2: Now, because I mean, even if nothing comes from that,
Speaker 2: it's like, well shit, if Tiger saw it and fucked
Speaker 2: with us, that means I'm on the right path exactly.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've had other dms like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a shitload of him, But I'm saying
Speaker 1: that that first one, like that's what really got me
Speaker 1: emotion them for real. But I'm just saying like, throughout
Speaker 1: this process and this path that I've been on, I've
Speaker 1: run into a lot of situations like that, Like people
Speaker 1: will tap in with me and speak positive and then
Speaker 1: I'll never hear from you.
Speaker 2: What about the guys who you do hear from, who
Speaker 2: you have had positive experiences with? Who are they? Man?

Speaker 2: boothface man for your album is because because you're also
Speaker 2: like I feel like you do make party music, but

Speaker 2: really wrap for real. We're gonna get a lot of
Speaker 2: bars on this project.

Speaker 2: What is your favorite? Because you've been getting booked at
Speaker 2: these clubs and I don't want you to run into
Speaker 2: the same problem I've seen guys. I'll even say A D.
Speaker 2: Who's my brother, so he knows I can I can
Speaker 2: speak about a day like this. When A D was out,
Speaker 2: he did so many clubs that I feel like it
Speaker 2: kind of burnt his brand out a little. I don't
Speaker 2: think you're doing that yet. Yeah, but is that something
Speaker 2: you're aware of?
Speaker 1: Most definitely? I just had this conversation with one of
Speaker 1: my homies. He like, I need to become more exclusive
Speaker 1: because since I just blew up last year, only been
Speaker 1: a year, that's how I've been getting money something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you're supporting yourself because you're not getting
Speaker 2: because also, I mean, the streams ain't paying.
Speaker 1: Like that ship a lot of streams man.
Speaker 2: But but you, for example, if you if you go
Speaker 2: and pick up a five bands from a club, that's
Speaker 2: like a one point one million streams on Spotify because
Speaker 2: the streams thirty what you mean stream thirty million stream
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So like you could go,
Speaker 2: like I was looking at ship like streaming numbers, like
Speaker 2: all right, we if you can go do this party
Speaker 2: and get three million dollars or three million streams worth
Speaker 2: of money real quick? What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: But you also, like you said, like you gotta be
Speaker 2: careful because I said with a D when Ad had juice,
Speaker 2: that motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Was every man.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I remember that he lived in the club. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it hurt him or I
Speaker 2: mean him and I have talked about it, so I
Speaker 2: think I think it hurt him a little though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can hurt you. I just started turning down
Speaker 1: bookings like for like maybe like in the last three
Speaker 1: or four months.
Speaker 2: And I mean, look to be fair of the LA
Speaker 2: club scene isn't what it was before the pandemic.

Speaker 2: up and like where the money goes.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. Yeah, you always got to worry about that,

Speaker 1: gonna be sixteen songs, twelve of them gonna be brand new,
Speaker 1: a lot of hot features, a lot of styles that
Speaker 1: y'all never heard from me before.
Speaker 2: Not to end the interview on a somber note, but
Speaker 2: obviously that you know you're losing your dad to cancer
Speaker 2: is a big deal to you, a big deal to
Speaker 2: anybody who for you. What would be some advice if
Speaker 2: someone lost a parent, What would be the vice you
Speaker 2: would give to them? How to cope, how to more
Speaker 2: and how to get through it, how to get on
Speaker 2: the other side of it, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh well, first let me explain to you how it
Speaker 1: even happened. First, So pretty much twenty sixteen, I was
Speaker 1: working at FedEx, just to work at the warehouse at
Speaker 1: Lax and you know, when he first got diagnosed with it,
Speaker 1: that shit hurt, you feel me. But he was taking
Speaker 1: all the precautions to get rid of it, like everything
Speaker 1: I'm talking about to a t. Everything wake up at
Speaker 1: this time, take this, you feel me. Coffee, enemas, salads,
Speaker 1: like everything.
Speaker 2: Everything.
Speaker 1: So he got rid of it. He got rid of
Speaker 1: the pancreatic cancer, and he got rid of it for
Speaker 1: about two months. Then he came to my house one day.
Speaker 1: He was like I came back to his livery though.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, damn, here this go again. So after
Speaker 1: that happened, I'm working, I'm working. You know, he's still
Speaker 1: doing the shit he can't. My mom came to my
Speaker 1: job at FedEx. My mom don't go nowhere, like she
Speaker 1: literally don't leave the house. So when my manager like
Speaker 1: my mommy, I'm like, what the fuck, I'll rested the front.
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, they gave him two months. I'm like, wow, damn, yeah,
Speaker 1: that shit hit different. I left the job you feel
Speaker 1: me crying all type of shit. And then after that day,
Speaker 1: it was about two weeks. It was about two weeks.
Speaker 1: My stepmam wind up calling me from the hospital. She's like, yes,
Speaker 1: that time, So I rush up there. When I got there,
Speaker 1: he taking like like a breath, like every forty five
Speaker 1: seconds or thirty seconds, barely hanging on. So what a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know is I actually got to
Speaker 1: see my dad take his last breath.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like literally the last one. Her whole family standing
Speaker 1: over room like trying to touch him a little bit,
Speaker 1: like make sure he stay up. And once he took
Speaker 1: that last one, he was out. So that right there,
Speaker 1: like seeing that was so detrimental to me. That what
Speaker 1: sparked like me to even do music. You feel me
Speaker 1: so me like growing up and even being able to
Speaker 1: sit right here with you is like like whoa. It's
Speaker 1: like a real testament to my journey. Like I can't
Speaker 1: even believe I'm here.
Speaker 2: You're lucky to have been there with him. No, definitely
Speaker 2: right because because I had it both ways. So my
Speaker 2: grandpa when he passed away, I was holding his hand.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I was. It was me and my
Speaker 2: cousin in the room with him because he was in
Speaker 2: hospice and they knew he was gonna die, so they
Speaker 2: brought him back to my family's house. So I was
Speaker 2: holding his hand literally while he died. So I felt,
Speaker 2: I don't want to say I felt good about it,
Speaker 2: but I felt like at peace with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: During COVID, my grandma died of COVID in a nursing
Speaker 2: home and they wouldn't let us be with her because
Speaker 2: of COVID, so she died alone. That shit fucked me
Speaker 2: up because you're like, damn, like we wanted to be there,
Speaker 2: but this COVID bullshit, they wouldn't let anybody in the
Speaker 2: nursing home. So my grandma passed away by herself. We
Speaker 2: don't know what she was thinking. We don't know nothing.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, You're You're lucky to have
Speaker 2: been with you.
Speaker 1: For sure. I don't take that for granted at that moment,
Speaker 1: just like that's like a real you know, I hope
Speaker 1: that ship.
Speaker 2: Right here, Like nah, that s dope is a part
Speaker 2: of your mission now, definitely.
Speaker 1: But as far as advice, I would say, if you
Speaker 1: lost anyone, you feel me for anybody that lost someone,
Speaker 1: Find something to not take your mind off of it,
Speaker 1: because nothing gonna take your mon.
Speaker 2: Pour the pain into something.
Speaker 1: Into something that's exact something for sure, some productive.
Speaker 2: You can pour it into something negative exactly, you know.
Speaker 1: Pour in something positive. You feel me, find something if
Speaker 1: it's going to the gym, whatever, you feel me, find
Speaker 1: something that's gonna feel you and like make you put
Speaker 1: on for your person you lost.
Speaker 2: Well, you've done a good job.
