Yeah in La was 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.080 Dope Dope Man's event. 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:40.560 Right. 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.240 Yeah, there was a bet I had like ten grand 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.239 riding on a college game, and I don't remember if 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:48.800 I think I might have. I think they pulled it 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.199 out for me, but I definitely the whole time I 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.800 was I had ten grand on that game and that 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.279 shit sucked. That shit was stressful. I'm glad I got 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.000 over that part of my life. Yeah, you were sweating over. 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.800 The Oh yeah that's crazy. 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.560 Yeah, it was like a college I don't even watch 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.200 college football, bro, but I just be using my homies 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.600 picks and I put ten bands on a game. And 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.559 I've never been so in tune to a football game and. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:14.880 I forgot who was playing. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.720 It was like, might have been UCLA or something. I 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.440 don't know, but I don't remember if I won that bet. 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.479 I think I won it. I think i'd remember more 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.800 if I lost it, because I know my big losses. 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.880 I could point at the game and say, fucking Mike 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.280 White from the Jets beating the Bengals two years ago, 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.040 fifteen bands out the door. 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.840 But you know I've won enough. I'm off the gambling now, 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.000 a little spending money. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:41.760 I do a little bit here and there. You know, 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.679 I put a little bit out there. But there was 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.080 like a during that period. There's like a two year 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.000 stretch during the pandemic where I was fucking leveraging some 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.080 bread on shit I can't control, which is a bad 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.480 habit to have. By the way, if you'd like to 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.480 do the same thing, go to my bookie dot com 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.280 and use a promo code bootleg and sign up and 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.320 you you make it a first deposit bonus up two 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.240 thousand dollars, trust my bookie. But yeah, no, that was 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.520 that mad that I do remember that. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.520 Yeah. I wasn't even in present at the event because 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.680 I was so like, I know, I was like, hey, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:17.840 give give yeah, no, but uh, hey, how's everything, man, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.919 Everything's good. Everything is on the up. I just released 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:27.720 that a project in the video with Yeah. I just 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:32.920 released that and independently as my first independent drop, and 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.920 it's you know, it's a video Corrupt, and then I 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.680 also dropped Yes. My game plan was to drop the 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.880 album with the visual with Corrupt, and then following that, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.160 my whole roll up plan was just my music videos. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.080 I've been shooting music videos my my. I guess my 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.080 plan is not like in the industry, like an industry rollout, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.480 but it's kind of like like a consistent, like consistency 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.880 type of rollout. It's a different well. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.880 You been like diving in the last couple of years 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.880 into kind of bringing back this old school like g 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.040 funk shit that's like missing from the game. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.359 Yeah, I think right now is a good time for 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.160 the top of music I'm making because you don't really 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.440 like hear that anymore. No, for sure, it's different. It 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.840 stands out and it's something that like the West Coast 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.040 was known for, and I feel like I have a 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.120 chance to kind of be the person that you know, 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.320 gets to like bring in that second wind of funk 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.240 and you know, I'm doing my best, but it's it's 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.560 it's you know, it's catching on. I see people starting 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.800 to like find out about me that were like, man, 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.680 I used to listen to this type of sound when 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.680 I was younger growing up, and it was the same 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.360 with me, you know, I grew up on a sound 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.000 and now I'm creating it. Yeah. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.560 For you, when did you kind of decide to like 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:56.080 go that route? Yeah, I think. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.640 Like three years ago I dropped my first project that 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.920 was just all funk and it was called it was 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.720 called The Cought and the Funk d of Funk. I 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.880 think that's a new one, right, Nah, what is the 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.920 first one called? Because one Nation Earned the Funk was 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.320 the one before this. Before that one was can You 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.160 Handle the Funk? That was my first project where I 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.880 just did only funk, you know, But I had always 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.960 I had always, like you know, mess with funk, and 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.120 you know it was accustomed to it from just growing 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.560 up on it. But I never really like had a 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.480 body of work that was dedicated to just that sound. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:28.720 You know. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.599 And you've been working with like some legends, like you 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.000 had a record with sugar Free.

But by far, Little Rob has 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.920 been someone that's been like. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.520 Well, you guys are I mean, ocean Side and San 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.560 Diego are not the same, but you gotta get you 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.360 gotta go through your. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.760 Ocean side to get the San Diego. If you're in 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.960 l A and they're. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.760 Very they're very even though you guys are very different. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.280 A lot of people kind of just like I'm my 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.800 homie Ben Ben. I don't know if you know Ben 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.560 Fly he's from. But when he talks to people about 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.440 where he's from who don't understand California, he just says 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.919 San Diego because it's easier to say that than ocean side, 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.800 because if you say ocean side, you gotta be like, oh, 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.680 where's that and then well, you know it's about an 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.160 hour north of sand you know, So you guys are 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.120 like for a Little Rob.

Yeah, I think 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.440 the word for a little while will be like iconic 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.920 because sure he's an icon when you think about like 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.360 Chicano Rob, He's he's you know, he's the face, He's 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.040 like the jay Z of it, right, which is you know, 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.000 that's a big thing for sure. So yeah, no much 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.520 much flowers and props, a little vib Yeah, not so 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:02.160 for you. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.600 Do you ever get frustrated that ocean Side has yet 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.039 to kind of because it's now. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.720 I feel like you're doing such a good job. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.640 Of making sure people know, like ocean Side is ocean Side, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:18.040 like and you have a sound, which every place needs 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.960 a sound, you know what I'm saying. But like being 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.600 from ocean Side, you guys get confused and punched in 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.280 San Diego a lot, you know what I mean? Is 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.160 that something that gets frustrating because you're like, now we're 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.320 our own thing over here, like it's a whole different place. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.200 For me. I just I you know, I just tell 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.600 people from Oceanside, you know, I have love for like 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.760 a lot of artists from San Diego and for sure, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.120 I spent a lot of time down there. Yeah, and 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.520 you know, Ocean Side is beautiful too. Yeah. But for 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:45.720 the most part, you know, there's like a lot of 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.280 similarities and it's it's just all love, you know, with me. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.720 But but Ocean Side is definitely its own thing. So 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.840 a lot of military folks there. Yeah. Yeah. And right 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.560 now it's a lot of like gentrification and like remodeling. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.880 So we see a lot of tourists, we see a 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.320 lot of like prices going up. Sure, we see a 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.760 lot of things changing right now. So it's becoming a 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.960 hot spot too. Yeah, it is for people to like 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.000 go vacate there, like move there. Like I had hell 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.720 of people I know from arizona're like, yo, you ever 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.480 heard a oce Side thinking about living there? And I'm 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.800 like really, yeah. People will come on vacation. I've met 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.520 somebody and said they were on vacation. I was like, 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.680 out here, you know. But but they're starting to get 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.760 more and more things that attract tourists out there. So 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.280 you know, it's good and bad. But I always try 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.000 to paint the picture of, you know, how it was 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.280 for me growing up in Ocera Side, because at the 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.199 end of the day, every city is gonna like get gentrified, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.240 it's gonna get you know, it's going to change. You know, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.080 nothing stays the same. So my job is just to 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.000 paint you know what I know. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.240 Of You're You're, Yeah, you're you're, you're a representation of 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.800 your city. So you got your experience there, you got 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.840 to share with the world. It's dope make so like 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.559 obviously you grew up listening to old school hip hop 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.120 defunk ship like for you, like, was there a record 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.880 or a moment that like you kind of realized like, 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.640 oh shit, like I could really bring this shit back 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.839 low key if I really like lean into this a 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.679 lot more. Because you weren't always making funk music. I 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.200 think when I first met you, you were making more like 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:13.960 traditional rap shit, you know, yeah. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.600 More like lyrical yeah, boombab trap right right right right 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.280 For me, I mean, my whole reason behind me like 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.120 interest in becoming an artist was listening to like artists 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.960 such as DJ Quick, Nay Dog, you know, a DPG. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.040 So you know, I was I was into like that 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.400 West Coast sound, but it took me a little bit 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.840 for it took me a while to kind of like 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.840 grasp how it's gonna sound, especially like a lot of 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.600 my hooks are like saying and stacked, so I had 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.760 to learn how to stack my vocal. I had to 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.160 learn what sounded good and what didn't because I did 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.840 a lot of like test runs, like for this last album, 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.000 I did like one hundred and fifty songs today to 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.800 get it down to the fourteen that are on the 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:03.160 album Shit, mainly because like sometimes I'll be like, all right, 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:04.800 I have this good melody, and when I lay it, 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.200 I am not don't have the capacity to be able 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.200 to project my vocal in that way. So then that 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.480 song that ends up being trish, you know, you got 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.360 to put someone on it. Yeah, Yes and no, because 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.400 for me, it's like I like to do a lot 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.480 of things myself. Why you your Nate dog, you know 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.280 you find your Nate dog. Well, I mean I sing 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.160 a lot of my hooks, but it's like sometimes the 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.200 singing doesn't come out how you think it's gonna for sure, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.040 you know, And I always tell myself that before somebody 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.640 else is like, yo, that sounds like shit. You know, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.480 I'm my biggest critic for sure. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.560 It's funny because I always say that I'm always like 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:41.240 dog like, why why don't we hear I say this 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.840 about like legends in La, you know, because I'm like, man, 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.360 why aren't LA rappers making the ship that like the 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.679 class Like there's a reason why the chronic and all 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:57.360 these records are classics, Like why not do just more 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.680 of that in twenty twenty four? Like take that sound 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.280 and just make it the sound again. And so when 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:05.880 you're doing what you're doing and I see it like 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.120 actually working for you, and like I see people who 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.320 don't know you posting your ship all the time, and 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.720 I'm like, oh shit, that's dope that the sound at 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.640 least is that OG sound is resonating because it's missing, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.560 like nobody is. I don't think got the balls to 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.360 be like, man, I'm gonna do this OG West Coast 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.760 shit and make it modern and make it fly and 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:35.000 just push the sound because the sound is is still popping. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.240 People are still listening to those old school records.
