And and really, more than anything, it's more 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.440 of like a reintroduction, you know what I'm saying to 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.640 all the listeners, to the fans, to the support us, 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.440 to the new comings. You know what I mean, It's 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.720 just a reintroduction. I feel like, you know, I done 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.040 been away from so long. It's my first time putting 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.120 my heart in the project in like four years. So 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.280 you know I wanted to no features. I ain't want to. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.280 I ain't wanted to. I ain't got nothing to do with, 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.000 no roll out, no none of that. You know what 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.880 I'm saying. I wanted to just give him my authentic self, 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.000 be completely transparent, you know what I mean, and reintroduce 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.200 the listeners to me as a person, you know what 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.600 I mean, beyond the artists, and you know, move forward 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.200 from there, and then we come with the album right 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.240 after that. Don't get it, Yeah, don't get it. I 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.240 see you take the music as like I would say, 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.520 how the essence used to be? Right. The reason I 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.800 say that is you do the mixtapes, you do the freestyle, 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.480 You pop up in the clubs, even when it's a 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.679 paid appearance of not paid in parents. Absolutely you still 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.400 get a whole lot of money to perform, but you 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.360 still go to the small venues. Why is all of 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:28.840 that so important? Because we don't see that with a 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.200 lot of artists. The most important thing about all that 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.840 shit is being able to connect directly with the fan base. 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.640 You know what I'm saying. Everything else is clouded. You know, 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.720 when you talk playlist and when you talk this and that, 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.479 all that shit got politics and factors that come into 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.600 play that you know, the control you know how visible 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.600 your music is or what have you. You know, when it 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.560 comes to a freestyle, I can give you current energy, 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.640 I can touch on current topics and everything. I can 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.560 give it boom straight to you. I don't gotta wait, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.880 I don't gotta upload it, wait for the DSPs to 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.560 get time to service it and all that extra shit. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.320 Shout out to them when they do do it. You 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.600 get what I'm saying. But sometimes you know, when it 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.560 comes to this art with music, you want to just 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.200 get it straight to the consumer, you know what I mean, 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:09.840 Like you need to know how I'm feeling today. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.000 What's the difference between for the consumer? What's the difference 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:12.920 between the mixtape and the album? 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.040 They don't give They don't fucking know, you know what 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.359 I'm saying. Like it's just all about you know, how 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:18.639 you hype it up ahead of time, you know what 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.440 I mean? And of course, like an album is it is, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.120 you know, it's presumed to be to be something that's 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.919 just extra, just just a large, a large thing, you 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.640 know what I mean, in a moment that's coming. But 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.200 I I like, I'm more of a spontaneous person. You 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.800 get what I'm saying, So I like the boom, just 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.080 pop out with it and then yeah, let the music 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.040 speak for itself and let it catch up with me, 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.600 kind of like I popped out with this one. Like 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.400 you know, I'm seeing I'm like, what a weekend, come midnight, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.240 it'll be a week that it didn't been out. But 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.840 you know, I'm slowly but surely seeing people. You know 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.640 what I mean. Understand like the type of body of 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:49.960 work that I just put out, and that's what it's 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.120 all about to me, Like that that means more than 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.440 you know it being on this playlist for a day 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.359 or for a week, you know what I'm saying, because 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.960 somebody then broke bread or you know this or that. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.480 You know what I'm saying. So I like the organic 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.080 and I really wanted the organic. I want an organic 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.040 climb back, you know what I'm saying, to the top. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.720 That's what I want because then it's not you know, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.480 I understand it for exactly what it is. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.720 But you keep talking about being canceled, you keep talking 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:12.800 about being at the bottom. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.440 Ain't talking know what I'm saying, But maybe I wasn't 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.720 paying attention. I ain't see it that way, man. That's 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.359 I don't see it that I appreciate that from you 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.960 because I know you don't. You don't funk around. You 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.079 saw it. I saw it. What did you see? 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.320 I mean, I feel like I don't believe in cancel 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.920 culture completely, but I did feel like there was a 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.320 time where you were like it was like quiet a bit, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.320 and we weren't seeing you out as much because I 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.480 forgot at one time you had the festival run. It 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.760 was all the baby like if it was a festival, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.080 it had to be you mixtape dropping music, music, music songs. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.360 And then it just got really quiet after the whole situation. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.080 And now I feel like I see you slowly like 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.680 you're dropping your your freestyles online, dropping the content. I'll 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.280 watch you do that a lot. And now we're here 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.640 with the tape and you're running back around, so I 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.880 think it's coming back around. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.440 We dont like shake something did that. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.200 Yeah it didn't happen, but it happened. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:03.920 But even even with that happened later. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.680 But I thought that that was going to be the 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.640 pop back out and it did amazing. But even then, 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.880 I think because people were attached to you as a person, 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.000 cause you're you know, you're very animated. People like here 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.880 you talk. We didn't get that during that you kind 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.120 of did a little bit. But now your your interviews, 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.440 you're talking to people. That's how I proceed it. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.279 You can let me know if I now with a 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.320 lot of that, you correct. Except like with the freestyles, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.120 I never stopped that. Like that was really the only 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.680 thing I could do off the rip. That was my 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.600 way to boom, keep doing what I'm doing. But when 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.599 it comes to like festivals and shit like that, that 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.520 ship is controlled, you know what I mean, Like somebody 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.000 can somebody press the button, you know what I'm saying. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.480 Somebody pressed the button. You get what I'm saying. And 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.360 I gotta navigate my way through that. Have a navigate 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.280 my way through that. That ain't something I can just you know. 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.080 But in terms of everything else, right when it come 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.520 to like press or like how I go about marketing 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.280 music or whatever, Like I really got into space the 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.560 well I was falling out of love with with the art, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.119 you know what I'm saying, and creating music and putting 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.720 music out. Because of the politics and everything else that 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.760 came with it, it made me. You know what I'm saying, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.560 I'm like, shit, this ain't this, ain't this ain't something 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.400 I even enjoyed doing at this point. You get what 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:04.919 I'm saying. I go from being an artist to a 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.599 politician over fucking night. You know what I mean. I 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.120 ain't no damn politician like that ain't what I've never 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.200 even that ain't never even been my brand. You get 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.680 what I'm saying that even my brand always been like 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.120 I've always been that nigga that's gone. I can't believe 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.600 that nigga just said that. You get what I'm saying. Like, 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.480 I'm gonna say something that a lot of people would think. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.080 You know what I mean, and the music, but I'm 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.039 gonna say it. I'm before you even realize how crazy 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.520 I'm talking. If you already enjoyed the vibe of the 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.039 music or whatever, you know what I mean. And in 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.839 terms of shake something you is correct because my whole 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.000 plan when I dropped that was the follow up immediately 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.800 we were supposed to boom boom boom boom boom. You 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.560 know what I mean. I've never been to, you know, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.160 drop a song and sit back and you know, and 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.840 hold my nuts and God damn you know what I'm saying. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.919 And God damn. Yeah, look at that song I just dropped, 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.240 So yeah, you know this what it is. Or I 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.640 would have came in and dropped sugar and set the 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.120 fuck back for two years like a lot of these 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.120 niggas do. But I dropped my first three projects. You 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.279 know what I'm saying as a mainstream artist six months apart, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.880 number one, number one, number one album, number one album, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.280 top streaming artists in the world, Stop shim in the 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.760 World twenty twenty. You know what I'm saying. So my 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.400 my fans have always been conditioned to receive my music 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.400 and high volume, you know what I'm saying, Like I 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.240 always boom boom boom, boom boom. I don't really sit 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.960 on nothing, so definitely, you know, and like I say, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.240 like a big thing with this project, how to fuck 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.880 is this mixtape? You know what I'm saying. And just 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.440 with me and how I'm living right now of space 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.400 I'm in. I'm a I'm in an era of accountability 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.680 like when they come to myself. So you know, I 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.000 just said this shit yesterday were talking to somebody like 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.800 I appreciate the fans for holding me accountable and not 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.080 letting me, you know, settle and put out bullshit and 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.680 get away with it. They know what I you know, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.280 they know what I got to offer. But you know 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.479 what I'm saying, no disrespect, but I always felt like 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.080 f those people right now not that's because there is 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.840 your core fans and people I love you, right and 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.920 during that time when when it felt like you was 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.560 going through it, I felt like your core still supported you. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.839 To show you even more that they supported you, I 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.480 dropped the fucking ball, you know what I mean? Even 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.640 even when I would see you outside and people coming 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.680 up to you, it's a different crossover. Shit, yeah they're 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.919 gonna be fickled, But your fans and stayed in that 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.480 and that and that's French with you regardless. And I've 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.200 seen that. And the reason I've seen that is we've 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.080 seen this with a lot of artists right when they 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.120 don't fuck with their call right and they feel like 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.600 they're bigger than their call, they leave their call. Then 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.520 you smacked back to reality. I never seen that with you, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:14.960 which I always respected, you know what I mean, not 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.559 for sure for sure now that I agree one hundred percent, 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:18.960 you know what I'm saying, I agree one hundred percent. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.000 And you know, and that's that's part of the whole 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.520 myself accountable for. You know what I'm saying, Like the 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.960 way that I allowed shit to take place over the 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.200 past four years, I could have put out a body 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.920 of work like how to Fuck? Is this a mixtape? 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.720 Immediately after the controversy. You get what I'm saying, Boom 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.400 Trump doll that shit like that's that's like the ship 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.440 that I done did while being a mainstream artist, Like 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.520 while I was the most you know what I mean 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.520 talked about artists in the game.

And that's why I come with 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.240 this mixtape instead of a three pack or a single. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.080 I'm like, fuck that, I want to put a whole 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.840 tape out.

And like when I got my 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.679 mind set on something like it's it's it ain't too 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.200 much at all. It was nothing that was gonna stop 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:07.679 me from you know what I'm saying, from getting with 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.920 my heart desired, you know what I mean. But if 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.880 that ain't healthy for me, for my mental, for my 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.320 for my spiritual if that ain't healthy for me, you know, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.840 I'm going run into a motherfucking brick wall.

And That's where I'm at right now. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.640 And I feel like everything hits you at once. Like 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.880 you know, all that situation happened, But then, like you said, 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.199 real life issues like free from your brother that happened 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.520 first what a lot of motherfuckers ain't understanding, like they 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.520 you know, I was really getting kicked while I was down, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.680 you know what I mean, Like niggas ain't even knowing 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.320 just because of like how you know how I carry 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.600 it like I'm not.

And with me 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.200 coming from that cloth and seeing the other side of 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:50.879 ship and seeing you know what is possible like and 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:53.000 he look up to me like a motherfucker. So, you know, 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.760 I make it a point to make sure that I'm 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.280 putting the right things on his mind and I'm sprinkling 0:23:58.320 --> 0:23:59.760 the game on him and the lessons I learned, so 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:02.360 he don't make none of the mistakes that I have made, 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:03.600 you know what I'm saying, or try to make it. 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.080 You know, it's a little bit of mistakes I made 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.680 as possible because hes gonna have to make some, you 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:09.640 know what I mean. But I think he ready for him? Now, 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.080 how difficult was it to go from the streets to 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.159 the industry. And the reason I say that is, you know, 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:15.600 when you're in the streets, you're getting a fight, you 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.000 getting to fight, You go home, they go home. But 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.040 now when you're in the industry, you're getting to fight. 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.520 They suing you. Man, looking, he's suing the tail off you. 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.680 I got my licks in before I start getting sued by. 0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:26.280 I got my licks in. You know what I'm saying. 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.159 But now, yeah, I don't. Does it make me like 0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.040 scared to put my hands from every absolutely, boy, I'll 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.080 be a bitch ass nigga. I ain't got time for that.

What's settling out 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:44.480 of just fighting them? 0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:44.760 No? 0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:46.880 Fighting? A lot of that shit be bullshit. And that's 0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.119 one thing about me, Like contrary to popular belief, like 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.560 I don't put my hands on nobody that don't don't 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.000 deserve it. You know what I'm saying. When I say 0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:55.720 deserve it, I ain't saying like, Okay, I feel like 0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.960 you deserve an ass whooping like nah, Like so that's 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.320 why I don't get charged criminally with nothing like it. 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.720 Don't you feel me like, I don't you know what 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:06.040 I mean, Like I'm gonna like you have to make 0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:07.359 me do that, you know what I'm saying, Like, I 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:10.760 just defend myself. That's all. I just defend myself. You 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:12.960 feel see some videos it look like you're just swinging 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:14.800 on them. That was a different type of thing, man, 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.600 That was you know I really that's something I and 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.760 and that shit that's what That's what rubbed me.

Wrong about that situation is because I 0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:28.320 can't even give context. You know what I'm saying as 0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.159 to why that shit took place like that without opening 0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:32.720 up a can of worms. You see what I'm saying. 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.560 And I expect for Bruh to be you know what 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.520 I'm saying. I expect for him to be a stand 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:41.240 up individual enough to know you feel me like that's 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.080 a thousand percent on him. Bro, know that shit too, 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:44.840 But don't come tell me that privately. You get what 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:46.840 I'm saying, Like, you know, clear that shit up for 0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:48.640 a nigga that's out here. You know what I'm saying. 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.800 That's sacrificing and putting any amount of energy, money, whatever 0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:53.480 into You know what I'm saying. It's your duty to 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:54.760 clear that shit up. But it is what it is 0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:56.080 at the end of the day. So y'all good now, 0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.439 now it's all good. Yeah, it's straight. One of my 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:00.239 favorite songs on the album, is Ain't that a bit? 0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:02.480 Damn Ain't that a bit? Because I can relate. But 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.800 one thing you said, you are willing to reconcile with 0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:06.640 some of these people if they admit they was wrong. 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.480 You better that's me. But I ain't though. That's one 0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:11.720 thing about me too, Like I ain ain't. No, I'm 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:15.199 only talking about probably like one motherfucker when but I 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:17.439 ain't no nigga. You can God damn feel me. It 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.320 ain't nah because it ain't. I keep it. I keep 0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:22.240 it real for that, you know what I'm saying, Like niggas, 0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:25.200 no niggas, no too, and anybody I didn't know niggas, 0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:27.679 no niggas, no one thousand percent, Like it ain't no. 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.280 You know, the proof is in the putting when it 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.520 comes to me, like painting that song, because it's like 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:34.600 you do things for people, you help people. Absolutely don't 0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:36.520 never got about how you help them. Hell no, I 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:37.920 ain't gonna say a word, you know what I mean. 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:39.879 But but the thing about this shit like with me, 0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.200 like it's really a lot of this ship public record 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:43.639 at this point, you get what I'm saying, Like it 0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:45.480 ain't even I don't even got to talk about what 0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:47.160 I done did for a nigga, Like I don't got 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:48.600 to do that, you know what I mean. So when 0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:50.080 it comes out of that, it just be like, damn, 0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.320 ain't that a bitch? You know what I'm saying, Like 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:53.920 I just leave it right at That's why I came 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:55.680 with that song. I feel like that's something everybody got 0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:58.200 a situation or a particular relationship or something, you know 0:26:58.240 --> 0:26:59.800 what I mean, along the way and they journey that 0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:02.040 they and that they can immediately relate to that record. 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.720 You also talk about selling your soul or people trying 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.240 to get talk about Yeah, people trying to get you 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:11.000 to sell your soul in certain situations and you're not 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.919 doing it. So when you talk about that, like how 0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:15.480 does that even work? Like people come to you with 0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:17.760 it's different, like offers opportunities or they. 0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:19.800 Like you talking about some illuminati shit.

I'm 0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:26.160 talking about the fact that I. 0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.160 Mean it's simple, Like selling your soul is like it's 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.280 like if I it's like, if somebody tells you to 0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.200 do something, this doesn't align with your mores and principles. 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.080 You get what I'm saying, to get to a certain 0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:36.680 level or to stay here.

Now, if 0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:40.239 I'm doing something unrighteously, which I don't do, that ain't 0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:41.960 even how I'm rocking. I don't even gotta do that. 0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:43.719 But I'll do something unrighteously, the hell yeah, that shit 0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:46.440 will hunt me every single day, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:49.080 like it it bothered me more that I'm letting motherfuckers 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.200 play that I'm settling with what I got to offer 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.760 as a as an artist, as a person for two years. 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:56.960 That type of shit to hunt me more than you know, 0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.680 doing something righteously and it going you know what can 0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:02.880 be damn bucking beast always is you know, uh, the 0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.880 wrong way. It's all those situations feel like it brought 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:07.920 it on, Like it's like people wanted to test you 0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:09.719 because they wanted to see, well, let me see how 0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:11.560 how how tough the baby is.

I 0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:16.480 think it was the contrast with me, like the fact 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:20.000 that like, like I'm so animated, right, and I could 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:22.080 be I'm so I could be so entertaining, and then 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:24.920 I'm I'm not on tough guy ship, like I be chilling, 0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:27.200 like I'm not too cool for myself. I'm not too 0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.600 tough for myself.

You get what I'm saying, Like 0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:37.680 I had a glock twenty three inside that bitch. So 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.879 it's a difference, like you ain't You're not gonna, you know, 0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:56.719 like it would have been fell off. But bro, you 0:40:56.760 --> 0:40:59.440 know it's I think it's the contrast and just the 0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:02.239 fact that like then, like niggas ain't you know that's 0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:03.840 how this ship go out here brou at the end 0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.080 of the day. So I don't really you know, I 0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:08.359 take it.

I God damn 0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:55.040 Jay look okay. You know so I think even that 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:56.400 got a lot to do with while niggas, you know 0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:57.880 what I'm saying, Like they got to test it, you 0:41:57.880 --> 0:41:59.719 know what I mean, Like that's what people do that 0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.000 and I come from that too, Like it's that's just 0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:04.520 culture period. Like when it comes to the streets, like 0:42:04.560 --> 0:42:07.560 you see a nigga. I remember seeing like an interview 0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:09.719 with Biggie before, like you see the nigga, especially my 0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:11.879 city or whatever, and I come from that, like from 0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:15.040 the Carolina, like we're from the Carolina's like this ain't niggas, 0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:17.400 ain't the nigga is own. It's fucked that nigga. You 0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:20.200 know what I'm saying. And I'm the only one you 0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:22.320 see what I'm saying. So it's I've been up against 0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:24.520 all that shit for me to even be able to 0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:27.160 navigate through that and survive and make it up out 0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:30.919 of Charlotte, Like that's yeah, that ain't you know? That's 0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:33.040 not normal That I was already conditioned for that shit. 0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.239 So that's why I can get it can get viewed 0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:38.480 as arrogant the way I do navigate through situations or 0:42:38.520 --> 0:42:41.400 deal with them as a mainstream artist, because they not knowing, 0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:44.160 like in my city. That's why it still ain't been 0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:46.279 another nigga after me, because you gotta you gotta have 0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:49.239 a certain type of goddamn skin. You know what I'm saying. 0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:51.279 You gotta have tough skin to come from where we're from. 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:52.680 You know what I'm saying. You got to So I 0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.320 was already conditioned like I'm not. I really ain't trusted 0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:57.400 when niggas got the you know what I'm saying, showing 0:42:57.440 --> 0:42:59.120 me all that love, I ain't. That's why I ain't 0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:00.480 come in on noboddy, but this ship, you know what 0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:01.640 I mean. So that's why I when to go left, 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:03.759 Like I don't got a thousand industry friends where I'm like, 0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.400 God damn, bro, what I wasn't trying to man, I'm like, 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:09.000 what we doing music?

I'd even get too revolutionary, 0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:12.640 you get what I'm saying. But it's like it's a 0:51:12.680 --> 0:51:15.279 real thing, like I didn't you know, I didn't been 0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:19.520 I didn't have police. Goddamn try to kill me several times, 0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:21.680 you know what I'm saying. Like felt it like, oh, 0:51:21.800 --> 0:51:24.000 these niggas finna kill me. Like when you when you 0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:27.480 already got four five niggas on you probably was about six, 0:51:27.760 --> 0:51:31.520 and they still saying, stop resisting, giving me your hands 0:51:31.560 --> 0:51:33.640 and they already about to break your arm.

So it's like, yeah, 0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:46.280 I'm you know, so many, so many different scenarios and situations, 0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:49.160 but just me just being a black man who stand 0:51:49.200 --> 0:51:52.120 on morals and principles. Period, I'm in danger every second 0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:54.719 I step out the door. And I can't show weaknesses. 0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:57.799 I can't. You feel me. I'm conditioned to believe that 0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:00.440 I can't show weaknesses because as a like man, they 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:03.840 prayed upon. Like the second I feel like I showed 0:52:03.920 --> 0:52:07.120 vulnerability as an artist, I saw it get prayed upon. 0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:10.279 You get what I'm saying.

You get 0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:25.840 what I'm saying. And I think the best way to 0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:29.279 navigate through any process is gracefully. And that's what I'm on, 0:52:29.440 --> 0:52:31.719 you know what I mean, instead of being combative with 0:52:31.800 --> 0:52:33.719 the shit or whatever, like that shit takes too much 0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:36.520 energy and the person like me I can easily be 0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:38.640 consumed with that shit.
