Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: All right, morning everybody, it's the j Envy, just hilarious.
Speaker 1: Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club just as
Speaker 1: on maternity leave. So Lauren l Ross is feeling in
Speaker 1: and we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the babies. It's a pleasure to be here, man,
Speaker 1: pleasure to be here. How you feeling my breath? Feeling great?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Wouldn't rather be nowhere else
Speaker 1: right now. I'm happy to have you here for sure.
Speaker 1: You got to do a mixtape? How to fuck? Is
Speaker 1: this mix? Is this a mixtape? I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: figure this out, man. Should have been an album. Figure
Speaker 1: this out right now? Why not an album? You know?
Speaker 1: We wanted to we wanted to warm to pop back up,
Speaker 1: you know. And and really, more than anything, it's more
Speaker 1: of like a reintroduction, you know what I'm saying to
Speaker 1: all the listeners, to the fans, to the support us,
Speaker 1: to the new comings. You know what I mean, It's
Speaker 1: just a reintroduction. I feel like, you know, I done
Speaker 1: been away from so long. It's my first time putting
Speaker 1: my heart in the project in like four years. So
Speaker 1: you know I wanted to no features. I ain't want to.
Speaker 1: I ain't wanted to. I ain't got nothing to do with,
Speaker 1: no roll out, no none of that. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I wanted to just give him my authentic self,
Speaker 1: be completely transparent, you know what I mean, and reintroduce
Speaker 1: the listeners to me as a person, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, beyond the artists, and you know, move forward
Speaker 1: from there, and then we come with the album right
Speaker 1: after that. Don't get it, Yeah, don't get it. I
Speaker 1: see you take the music as like I would say,
Speaker 1: how the essence used to be? Right. The reason I
Speaker 1: say that is you do the mixtapes, you do the freestyle,
Speaker 1: You pop up in the clubs, even when it's a
Speaker 1: paid appearance of not paid in parents. Absolutely you still
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of money to perform, but you
Speaker 1: still go to the small venues. Why is all of
Speaker 1: that so important? Because we don't see that with a
Speaker 1: lot of artists. The most important thing about all that
Speaker 1: shit is being able to connect directly with the fan base.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Everything else is clouded. You know,
Speaker 1: when you talk playlist and when you talk this and that,
Speaker 1: all that shit got politics and factors that come into
Speaker 1: play that you know, the control you know how visible
Speaker 1: your music is or what have you. You know, when it
Speaker 1: comes to a freestyle, I can give you current energy,
Speaker 1: I can touch on current topics and everything. I can
Speaker 1: give it boom straight to you. I don't gotta wait,
Speaker 1: I don't gotta upload it, wait for the DSPs to
Speaker 1: get time to service it and all that extra shit.
Speaker 1: Shout out to them when they do do it. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. But sometimes you know, when it
Speaker 1: comes to this art with music, you want to just
Speaker 1: get it straight to the consumer, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you need to know how I'm feeling today.
Speaker 2: What's the difference between for the consumer? What's the difference
Speaker 2: between the mixtape and the album?
Speaker 1: They don't give They don't fucking know, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like it's just all about you know, how
Speaker 1: you hype it up ahead of time, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And of course, like an album is it is,
Speaker 1: you know, it's presumed to be to be something that's
Speaker 1: just extra, just just a large, a large thing, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, in a moment that's coming. But
Speaker 1: I I like, I'm more of a spontaneous person. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, So I like the boom, just
Speaker 1: pop out with it and then yeah, let the music
Speaker 1: speak for itself and let it catch up with me,
Speaker 1: kind of like I popped out with this one. Like
Speaker 1: you know, I'm seeing I'm like, what a weekend, come midnight,
Speaker 1: it'll be a week that it didn't been out. But
Speaker 1: you know, I'm slowly but surely seeing people. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Understand like the type of body of
Speaker 1: work that I just put out, and that's what it's
Speaker 1: all about to me, Like that that means more than
Speaker 1: you know it being on this playlist for a day
Speaker 1: or for a week, you know what I'm saying, because
Speaker 1: somebody then broke bread or you know this or that.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I like the organic
Speaker 1: and I really wanted the organic. I want an organic
Speaker 1: climb back, you know what I'm saying, to the top.
Speaker 1: That's what I want because then it's not you know,
Speaker 1: I understand it for exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: But you keep talking about being canceled, you keep talking
Speaker 2: about being at the bottom.
Speaker 1: Ain't talking know what I'm saying, But maybe I wasn't
Speaker 1: paying attention. I ain't see it that way, man. That's
Speaker 1: I don't see it that I appreciate that from you
Speaker 1: because I know you don't. You don't funk around. You
Speaker 1: saw it. I saw it. What did you see?
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like I don't believe in cancel
Speaker 3: culture completely, but I did feel like there was a
Speaker 3: time where you were like it was like quiet a bit,
Speaker 3: and we weren't seeing you out as much because I
Speaker 3: forgot at one time you had the festival run. It
Speaker 3: was all the baby like if it was a festival,
Speaker 3: it had to be you mixtape dropping music, music, music songs.
Speaker 3: And then it just got really quiet after the whole situation.
Speaker 3: And now I feel like I see you slowly like
Speaker 3: you're dropping your your freestyles online, dropping the content. I'll
Speaker 3: watch you do that a lot. And now we're here
Speaker 3: with the tape and you're running back around, so I
Speaker 3: think it's coming back around.
Speaker 1: We dont like shake something did that.
Speaker 3: Yeah it didn't happen, but it happened.
Speaker 1: But even even with that happened later.
Speaker 3: But I thought that that was going to be the
Speaker 3: pop back out and it did amazing. But even then,
Speaker 3: I think because people were attached to you as a person,
Speaker 3: cause you're you know, you're very animated. People like here
Speaker 3: you talk. We didn't get that during that you kind
Speaker 3: of did a little bit. But now your your interviews,
Speaker 3: you're talking to people. That's how I proceed it.
Speaker 1: You can let me know if I now with a
Speaker 1: lot of that, you correct. Except like with the freestyles,
Speaker 1: I never stopped that. Like that was really the only
Speaker 1: thing I could do off the rip. That was my
Speaker 1: way to boom, keep doing what I'm doing. But when
Speaker 1: it comes to like festivals and shit like that, that
Speaker 1: ship is controlled, you know what I mean, Like somebody
Speaker 1: can somebody press the button, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Somebody pressed the button. You get what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: I gotta navigate my way through that. Have a navigate
Speaker 1: my way through that. That ain't something I can just you know.
Speaker 1: But in terms of everything else, right when it come
Speaker 1: to like press or like how I go about marketing
Speaker 1: music or whatever, Like I really got into space the
Speaker 1: well I was falling out of love with with the art,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and creating music and putting
Speaker 1: music out. Because of the politics and everything else that
Speaker 1: came with it, it made me. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm like, shit, this ain't this, ain't this ain't something
Speaker 1: I even enjoyed doing at this point. You get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I go from being an artist to a
Speaker 1: politician over fucking night. You know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: ain't no damn politician like that ain't what I've never
Speaker 1: even that ain't never even been my brand. You get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that even my brand always been like
Speaker 1: I've always been that nigga that's gone. I can't believe
Speaker 1: that nigga just said that. You get what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something that a lot of people would think.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, and the music, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it. I'm before you even realize how crazy
Speaker 1: I'm talking. If you already enjoyed the vibe of the
Speaker 1: music or whatever, you know what I mean. And in
Speaker 1: terms of shake something you is correct because my whole
Speaker 1: plan when I dropped that was the follow up immediately
Speaker 1: we were supposed to boom boom boom boom boom. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I've never been to, you know,
Speaker 1: drop a song and sit back and you know, and
Speaker 1: hold my nuts and God damn you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And God damn. Yeah, look at that song I just dropped,
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know this what it is. Or I
Speaker 1: would have came in and dropped sugar and set the
Speaker 1: fuck back for two years like a lot of these
Speaker 1: niggas do. But I dropped my first three projects. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying as a mainstream artist six months apart,
Speaker 1: number one, number one, number one album, number one album,
Speaker 1: top streaming artists in the world, Stop shim in the
Speaker 1: World twenty twenty. You know what I'm saying. So my
Speaker 1: my fans have always been conditioned to receive my music
Speaker 1: and high volume, you know what I'm saying, Like I
Speaker 1: always boom boom boom, boom boom. I don't really sit
Speaker 1: on nothing, so definitely, you know, and like I say,
Speaker 1: like a big thing with this project, how to fuck
Speaker 1: is this mixtape? You know what I'm saying. And just
Speaker 1: with me and how I'm living right now of space
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm a I'm in an era of accountability
Speaker 1: like when they come to myself. So you know, I
Speaker 1: just said this shit yesterday were talking to somebody like
Speaker 1: I appreciate the fans for holding me accountable and not
Speaker 1: letting me, you know, settle and put out bullshit and
Speaker 1: get away with it. They know what I you know,
Speaker 1: they know what I got to offer. But you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, no disrespect, but I always felt like
Speaker 1: f those people right now not that's because there is
Speaker 1: your core fans and people I love you, right and
Speaker 1: during that time when when it felt like you was
Speaker 1: going through it, I felt like your core still supported you.
Speaker 1: To show you even more that they supported you, I
Speaker 1: dropped the fucking ball, you know what I mean? Even
Speaker 1: even when I would see you outside and people coming
Speaker 1: up to you, it's a different crossover. Shit, yeah they're
Speaker 1: gonna be fickled, But your fans and stayed in that
Speaker 1: and that and that's French with you regardless. And I've
Speaker 1: seen that. And the reason I've seen that is we've
Speaker 1: seen this with a lot of artists right when they
Speaker 1: don't fuck with their call right and they feel like
Speaker 1: they're bigger than their call, they leave their call. Then
Speaker 1: you smacked back to reality. I never seen that with you,
Speaker 1: which I always respected, you know what I mean, not
Speaker 1: for sure for sure now that I agree one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I agree one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: And you know, and that's that's part of the whole
Speaker 1: myself accountable for. You know what I'm saying, Like the
Speaker 1: way that I allowed shit to take place over the
Speaker 1: past four years, I could have put out a body
Speaker 1: of work like how to Fuck? Is this a mixtape?
Speaker 1: Immediately after the controversy. You get what I'm saying, Boom
Speaker 1: Trump doll that shit like that's that's like the ship
Speaker 1: that I done did while being a mainstream artist, Like
Speaker 1: while I was the most you know what I mean
Speaker 1: talked about artists in the game. The ship that I
Speaker 1: was doing at the same time, like I go, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I I don't even be
Speaker 1: trying to bring this ship up like ill whoopingnig Gass
Speaker 1: on camera to go get on the cover of Billboard
Speaker 1: magazine the next day. You know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: all type of ship like this, I'm telling you that
Speaker 1: I promise you like this shit is puthering record, Like
Speaker 1: I can't wait to documentary come out. So it's like
Speaker 1: for me to even you know, for me to even
Speaker 1: allow myself to get to get tricked in the being
Speaker 1: in the space the way I feel like you know
Speaker 1: I'm at the mercy of some motherfuckers who ain't who
Speaker 1: don't understand me as an artist anyway, because anybody who
Speaker 1: is a fan of me, they already know it. Ain't
Speaker 1: nothing I can say that throw them off to the
Speaker 1: point to where they're, oh, you're a bad person. I'm
Speaker 1: turning my back and ain't no way. I didn't say
Speaker 1: it worse. You get how bad did it get? Because
Speaker 1: on the ALM you talk about of course you talking
Speaker 1: about the money you were getting five under the show,
Speaker 1: and it drops, Yeah, how bad did it get? To
Speaker 1: the point where did you think about? You know what
Speaker 1: I I to get money. I was finna get my jet.
Speaker 1: I was finna get all type of shit. I already
Speaker 1: had it, you know, figured out it. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: talking about this plenty of times. But if you after fall,
Speaker 1: you talking about I'm talking about the paper I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Oh yeah, I ain't talking about the you know,
Speaker 1: I mean me, the music ain't never went nowhere like
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm I'm in the demonstrating on the regular.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Anytime, like anytime I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, motherfuckers got me fucked up when they when
Speaker 1: they get the the when they get the love and
Speaker 1: the attension from the media, when they see that shit shift,
Speaker 1: then they get that shit confused with you know who
Speaker 1: I am as an artist and what I got to
Speaker 1: offer as an artist. That's when I get in that
Speaker 1: more like these niggas got me fucked up. I'm doing
Speaker 1: this song in this one, I'm gonna pick the hottest
Speaker 1: songs out and I'm gonna burn them bitches down. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. And then I just leave everybody
Speaker 1: and oh you see it, you see it. The shit
Speaker 1: do twenty million views on damn Instagram. I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: put the shit out on YouTube, none of that, or
Speaker 1: I go do it on somebody platform or whatever, and
Speaker 1: I would just leave it at that. But like I say,
Speaker 1: that'll all go back to me. Just hold myself accountable
Speaker 1: because I could apply that same amount of pressure to
Speaker 1: my own individual work. And that's why I come with
Speaker 1: this mixtape instead of a three pack or a single.
Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck that, I want to put a whole
Speaker 1: tape out. And it went from I mean originally what
Speaker 1: we was gonna do, bro, we was gonna do what
Speaker 1: like five six songs. I overnight you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: within like a week, like, man, hell, no, I got fourteen.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, shots to my team because dyang, hey,
Speaker 1: they finally like, yeah, nigga, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: They like, do you? So I'm like, no, I got
Speaker 1: fourteen of them and all this is shit that I
Speaker 1: just court it. So it's current energy. It's all the
Speaker 1: way there, and that's the way I prefer to put
Speaker 1: the music out.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, telling us how bad it
Speaker 3: got though you said, yeah, got bad, but it ain't nothing.
Speaker 1: I'm dwelling. It ain't nothing. I dwelling all, you know.
Speaker 1: And I don't really want to speak on that because
Speaker 1: I'm ready for the start giving me, giving me the
Speaker 1: five and the fuck you've been past that. I didn't
Speaker 1: even realize it was four years. They feel like long,
Speaker 1: long ass time you get you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: long ass time. I didn't have two kids. I had
Speaker 1: to kids, Like my baby's talking run around, you know,
Speaker 1: they don't eat. One of my babies don't even know
Speaker 1: I'm a rapper, Like she saw me on TV. Man,
Speaker 1: it funked up. It's about daddy. Daddy you got a
Speaker 1: song the baby to tell her mama like you you
Speaker 1: ain't told my baby or daddy a fucking superstar with
Speaker 1: you got going, you know what I mean. But now
Speaker 1: it's all good man, Like you know, more than anything, man,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to be here. And then at the same time,
Speaker 1: I'm going through so much real ship personally that like
Speaker 1: I needed that, you know what i mean, because like me,
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm, I'm, I'm one way, I missed
Speaker 1: a tonne of it. And like when I got my
Speaker 1: mind set on something like it's it's it ain't too
Speaker 1: much at all. It was nothing that was gonna stop
Speaker 1: me from you know what I'm saying, from getting with
Speaker 1: my heart desired, you know what I mean. But if
Speaker 1: that ain't healthy for me, for my mental, for my
Speaker 1: for my spiritual if that ain't healthy for me, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going run into a motherfucking brick wall. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a downard spiral, and and you know once you
Speaker 1: once you come up off of that, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a beautiful space to be in, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And That's where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1: And I feel like everything hits you at once. Like
Speaker 1: you know, all that situation happened, But then, like you said,
Speaker 1: real life issues like free from your brother that happened
Speaker 1: first what a lot of motherfuckers ain't understanding, like they
Speaker 1: you know, I was really getting kicked while I was down,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like niggas ain't even knowing
Speaker 1: just because of like how you know how I carry
Speaker 1: it like I'm not. I wouldn't not looking for sympathy.
Speaker 1: I wasn't looking for none of that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like so it's yeah, I was hustling to
Speaker 1: to god damn divert my attention from the real life
Speaker 1: shit I was going through, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But every year of me being especially in the first
Speaker 1: two years my most successful, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: time period in the game, like I took. I took
Speaker 1: the biggest losses of my life. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I lost my father twenty nineteen, right after I dropped,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, my debut project right after,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, month after, and then my
Speaker 1: brother twenty twenty while I'm the top streaming rapper in
Speaker 1: the world, you know what I mean, And then the
Speaker 1: next year, boom the whole big, the whole big cancer
Speaker 1: culture shit the very next year. So it's boom boom boom,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I kind of been
Speaker 1: I kind of been dealing with the bullshit longer than
Speaker 1: I've been you know what I'm saying out here really
Speaker 1: doing my thing. So that's why I say, you know,
Speaker 1: I've really gotten a space to where like I kind
Speaker 1: of was, you know, just losing my love for the art,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and just and just the
Speaker 1: sport of you know, putting out music and marketing the
Speaker 1: music and just all that. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: All the shit that I do in a in a
Speaker 1: way that no other artist does it. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It was that type of shit. You know,
Speaker 1: I allowed this bullshit to steal my joy, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying for what I do, and you know
Speaker 1: that's detrimental to my art, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But it's a space that I'm in right now. You
Speaker 1: know you can kind of see it. It's kind of
Speaker 1: bleeding through. If you can't, you will soon, you know.
Speaker 1: They say staying busy as a response to Trump. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it was when you lost your pops
Speaker 1: and your brother. You was super busy doing every man,
Speaker 1: I flew out when things got a little bit quiet,
Speaker 1: you had to sit still exactly. That's when I heard, man,
Speaker 1: look everything everything, and this is where it got quiet
Speaker 1: and I had to sit still. It was really covid
Speaker 1: that that was my second show back. So long as that.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, so that was
Speaker 1: really like my second show back. So I had I
Speaker 1: had stayed. I was able to stay busy enough, like
Speaker 1: when it came to my pops, and not only that,
Speaker 1: like you know it was. It was a different situation
Speaker 1: than my brother. You give what I'm saying. But I
Speaker 1: immediately like I dropped my my debut the second prize.
Speaker 1: My second album really Baby on Baby was a mixtape,
Speaker 1: but I dropped my debut album, Kirk. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That went number one. That was an honor
Speaker 1: of my father. That was my way of carrying the
Speaker 1: last name. You know, I did that. You know I
Speaker 1: did that. When it came to my pops, we even
Speaker 1: had a conversation before he passed away. He you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You taught me something. You get what
Speaker 1: I mean, like you you know you you stuck to
Speaker 1: what you wanted to do. You did it, Joey, you
Speaker 1: taught me something. Now what's next? So we you know,
Speaker 1: that situation was a little bit different, you know, and
Speaker 1: I was able to stay busy enough to you know,
Speaker 1: navigate through that or whatever. But you know, when you
Speaker 1: talk about losing somebody to suicide, like that's a different thing.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, kids behind who was in
Speaker 1: your corner during that time, because you know you you're
Speaker 1: always in somebody's corner. You always reach out to your
Speaker 1: people who was like you know what, put their arm
Speaker 1: around you to make sure that you're okay, if anybody
Speaker 1: like emotionally, like spiritually when it comes to with my brother,
Speaker 1: just to make sure that you're okay. Shit, nobody, nobody,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Nobody, hell no, nobody who
Speaker 1: does the go to guy go to right? You get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm the I'm the one in this
Speaker 1: in the corners. You get what I'm saying, Like it
Speaker 1: ain't no yeah, nobody, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: it ain't even expected, you know what I mean, Which
Speaker 1: ain't that ain't healthy at all? But it's not expected
Speaker 1: to me like I'm kind of like a lot of
Speaker 1: people probably attempted to be you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But I don't. You know, I'm That's just how I'm wired.
Speaker 1: That's how a lot of you know, black men wired
Speaker 1: like we don't. You know what I mean, Like we
Speaker 1: we taught to suck that shit up and keep it moving.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, Like, hey, bro, it ain't
Speaker 1: no you know you gotta you gotta deal with the ship.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's put in front of
Speaker 1: you. You know what I mean. So that's something that I
Speaker 1: really stand on, and I'm I'm really the one. I'm
Speaker 1: really the shoulder to lean on more than the person
Speaker 1: looking to lean on the shoulder. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I won't even allow it. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I don't it gotta be it gotta be equal with me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I ain't even started this ship.
Speaker 1: I plan on starting it immediately. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I plan to start. I want to have a conversation
Speaker 1: with you. You know what I'm saying off the air,
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, When we get done and
Speaker 1: just so you can you know what I mean, give
Speaker 1: me some insight on that and you know, leave me
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I got an idea of how
Speaker 1: I want to do it, but I want to get
Speaker 1: you you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And he says, you wanted it to be like when
Speaker 3: you do do it, you want it to be publicly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really want to. Yeah, because I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to inspire others to you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, do that shit. I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to make that shit okay and acceptable because
Speaker 1: I already know what tom it is like, it ain't
Speaker 1: a nigga. It ain't too many niggas more stubborn than me.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't Ben, motherfucker's Ben told me do it.
Speaker 1: Ben told me do it. Ben told me do it.
Speaker 1: I rock with people. You know, I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of this man and the work he do in that space.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. So I already know what's
Speaker 1: going on. I'm aware of it. I pay attention. I
Speaker 1: ain't no stupid nigga at all. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: like it probably ain't a nigga's stubborn, it's me. Like
Speaker 1: when it comes to like not accepting sympathy and shit
Speaker 1: like it's not like I don't. I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't play like that, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: my mama is cut like that, like she don't you know,
Speaker 1: when we got ass whoopings as a kid, It don't

Speaker 1: second child that make it make you feel like you
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing as a parent, right for sure.
Speaker 1: Now now, now, my nephew, No, that's why I said
Speaker 1: the video nephew, to watch him in your videos he has,
Speaker 1: that's my nigga. Man, he turns seven. He turns seven tomorrow,
Speaker 1: by the way, you know what I'm saying. But that
Speaker 1: boy six, you know what I mean, going on on
Speaker 1: his way? He can I can make him. He already him.
Speaker 1: He don't remind me of me. Man. He different. I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't cut like him at his age. Man, when
Speaker 1: I tell you that boy is different, I wish I
Speaker 1: could have brought him with me. That boy different. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He is different, you know. So
Speaker 1: he he got the world in front of him. Man,
Speaker 1: it's for the taken when it comes to him. I'm
Speaker 1: super excited about seeing him growing and the what he
Speaker 1: gonna grow into. And definitely I try to do everything
Speaker 1: I can to lead him in the right direction. But
Speaker 1: I know the cloth he cut from. I already know
Speaker 1: what's going on. So it's like I understand it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I understand it. And with me
Speaker 1: coming from that cloth and seeing the other side of
Speaker 1: ship and seeing you know what is possible like and
Speaker 1: he look up to me like a motherfucker. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I make it a point to make sure that I'm
Speaker 1: putting the right things on his mind and I'm sprinkling
Speaker 1: the game on him and the lessons I learned, so
Speaker 1: he don't make none of the mistakes that I have made,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, or try to make it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a little bit of mistakes I made
Speaker 1: as possible because hes gonna have to make some, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But I think he ready for him? Now,
Speaker 1: how difficult was it to go from the streets to
Speaker 1: the industry. And the reason I say that is, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're in the streets, you're getting a fight, you
Speaker 1: getting to fight, You go home, they go home. But
Speaker 1: now when you're in the industry, you're getting to fight.
Speaker 1: They suing you. Man, looking, he's suing the tail off you.
Speaker 1: I got my licks in before I start getting sued by.
Speaker 1: I got my licks in. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But now, yeah, I don't. Does it make me like
Speaker 1: scared to put my hands from every absolutely, boy, I'll
Speaker 1: be a bitch ass nigga. I ain't got time for that. Shit.
Speaker 1: I just spent up about four million on lawsuits, man,
Speaker 1: Like four or five millions? Got facts? What's settling out
Speaker 1: of just fighting them?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Fighting? A lot of that shit be bullshit. And that's
Speaker 1: one thing about me, Like contrary to popular belief, like
Speaker 1: I don't put my hands on nobody that don't don't
Speaker 1: deserve it. You know what I'm saying. When I say
Speaker 1: deserve it, I ain't saying like, Okay, I feel like
Speaker 1: you deserve an ass whooping like nah, Like so that's
Speaker 1: why I don't get charged criminally with nothing like it.
Speaker 1: Don't you feel me like, I don't you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like I'm gonna like you have to make
Speaker 1: me do that, you know what I'm saying, Like, I
Speaker 1: just defend myself. That's all. I just defend myself. You
Speaker 1: feel see some videos it look like you're just swinging
Speaker 1: on them. That was a different type of thing, man,
Speaker 1: That was you know I really that's something I and
Speaker 1: and that shit that's what That's what rubbed me. That's
Speaker 1: what rubbed me. And I don't regret it, but that's
Speaker 1: what rubbed me. Wrong about that situation is because I
Speaker 1: can't even give context. You know what I'm saying as
Speaker 1: to why that shit took place like that without opening
Speaker 1: up a can of worms. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I expect for Bruh to be you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I expect for him to be a stand
Speaker 1: up individual enough to know you feel me like that's
Speaker 1: a thousand percent on him. Bro, know that shit too,
Speaker 1: But don't come tell me that privately. You get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, you know, clear that shit up for
Speaker 1: a nigga that's out here. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's sacrificing and putting any amount of energy, money, whatever
Speaker 1: into You know what I'm saying. It's your duty to
Speaker 1: clear that shit up. But it is what it is
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So y'all good now,
Speaker 1: now it's all good. Yeah, it's straight. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite songs on the album, is Ain't that a bit?
Speaker 1: Damn Ain't that a bit? Because I can relate. But
Speaker 1: one thing you said, you are willing to reconcile with
Speaker 1: some of these people if they admit they was wrong.
Speaker 1: You better that's me. But I ain't though. That's one
Speaker 1: thing about me too, Like I ain ain't. No, I'm
Speaker 1: only talking about probably like one motherfucker when but I
Speaker 1: ain't no nigga. You can God damn feel me. It
Speaker 1: ain't nah because it ain't. I keep it. I keep
Speaker 1: it real for that, you know what I'm saying, Like niggas,
Speaker 1: no niggas, no too, and anybody I didn't know niggas,
Speaker 1: no niggas, no one thousand percent, Like it ain't no.
Speaker 1: You know, the proof is in the putting when it
Speaker 1: comes to me, like painting that song, because it's like
Speaker 1: you do things for people, you help people. Absolutely don't
Speaker 1: never got about how you help them. Hell no, I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna say a word, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But but the thing about this shit like with me,
Speaker 1: like it's really a lot of this ship public record
Speaker 1: at this point, you get what I'm saying, Like it
Speaker 1: ain't even I don't even got to talk about what
Speaker 1: I done did for a nigga, Like I don't got
Speaker 1: to do that, you know what I mean. So when
Speaker 1: it comes out of that, it just be like, damn,
Speaker 1: ain't that a bitch? You know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: I just leave it right at That's why I came
Speaker 1: with that song. I feel like that's something everybody got
Speaker 1: a situation or a particular relationship or something, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, along the way and they journey that
Speaker 1: they and that they can immediately relate to that record.
Speaker 3: You also talk about selling your soul or people trying
Speaker 3: to get talk about Yeah, people trying to get you
Speaker 3: to sell your soul in certain situations and you're not
Speaker 3: doing it. So when you talk about that, like how
Speaker 3: does that even work? Like people come to you with
Speaker 3: it's different, like offers opportunities or they.
Speaker 1: Like you talking about some illuminati shit. No, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about that.
Speaker 3: I wish I'm talking about different level of money. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about the fact that I.
Speaker 1: Mean it's simple, Like selling your soul is like it's
Speaker 1: like if I it's like, if somebody tells you to
Speaker 1: do something, this doesn't align with your mores and principles.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, to get to a certain
Speaker 1: level or to stay here. It's like if they tell
Speaker 1: you look in order to got them come to be
Speaker 1: on Breakfast Club, you got to come in here with
Speaker 1: your ass out. You got to come in here and
Speaker 1: twork to the music goddamn at the beginning. And if
Speaker 1: that's not something that aligns with you, with your mores,
Speaker 1: with your principles, with the way you operate, and you say, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm an dode man, this breve I can't hell no,
Speaker 1: I can't miss this opportunity. You sold your motherfucker soul.
Speaker 1: Really right, it's that simple. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And it ain't that ain't really something I do, but
Speaker 1: the world of seeing it with me, Like you know,
Speaker 1: I could have I could have did one or two
Speaker 1: things and been boy, I'd have been about about the
Speaker 1: five hundred million mark by now. Facts. Facts, it was
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand a day for me for the rest
Speaker 1: of that year, twenty twenty, like four hundreds. We ain't
Speaker 1: talking about after parties. We ain't talking about any other
Speaker 1: business relationships that got fucked up through it, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, we ain't talking about none of
Speaker 1: the other shit. If I'm just talking about what was
Speaker 1: already on the calendar, you get what I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: was Yeah, it was sweet. I was up out of here.
Speaker 1: I was gonna have that Tyler Perry motherfucker that runway
Speaker 1: in the backyard. Right. Facts, I wonder what to do
Speaker 1: when you ever sat back and thought, what was the
Speaker 1: divine detour because you know, I always say things don't
Speaker 1: happen to you, they happened for you. Absolutely, What do
Speaker 1: you think that was? It was? What it was? What
Speaker 1: we touched on earlier? Man, I really I needed to
Speaker 1: have my ass sat down and really you know, and
Speaker 1: really really reflect on not only how far I adin't
Speaker 1: got them came and appreciate, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: what I got going on so much more. But I
Speaker 1: also needed to needed to smoke the clear and I
Speaker 1: needed I needed to see things clearly. I needed to
Speaker 1: see what was around me, who was around me? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, What purposes I'm I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: aiding who I'm aiding and doing the wrong thing. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. And not only that, like just
Speaker 1: get and not And I needed to fucking heal and grieve,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, for once from multiple things,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I needed I probably
Speaker 1: needed to talk to somebody at therapy before I ever
Speaker 1: even touched the motherfucker michaelphone. Get what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: just you know the ship i'dn't been through since then,
Speaker 1: you know? And And like I say, I'm in a
Speaker 1: season of accountability, Like I didn't got away with a
Speaker 1: lot of shit. You know what I'm saying, Like since
Speaker 1: even since y'all have known me, I didne got away
Speaker 1: with a lot of shit, So you know that ain't
Speaker 1: that ain't no way, And if you get away with enough,
Speaker 1: you would get to thinking, or you would get in
Speaker 1: the space to where you where you think that ship
Speaker 1: is really okay. So like I say, like, you know,
Speaker 1: it was a lot of a lot of changes that
Speaker 1: need to be made, and I needed to get my
Speaker 1: personal life in order. You know what I'm saying, Because
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm I was a ticking time bomb. And
Speaker 1: any moment I could have I could have I could
Speaker 1: have I could have crashed out way way harder. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. Any moment, at any moment, you
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, Like like if it like let's say,
Speaker 1: like let's say that motherfucking busted ass add it, would
Speaker 1: it hit me? Let's say, I wouldn't have Uh you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Another one of environl moments from
Speaker 1: that show that night. Yeah, I would have jumped out
Speaker 1: there and punched somebody. I'd have did some punching. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying or whatever, Or it's simple if
Speaker 1: I walk out the door right now when I feel
Speaker 1: like i'm you know, I'm threatened or whatever. It's so
Speaker 1: many different things that could have triggered me in whatever
Speaker 1: ways that could have led to this shit going way
Speaker 1: worse than not, you know, leaving me in the space
Speaker 1: the way I get time to reflect? Do I get
Speaker 1: time to heal? Do I get time to get my
Speaker 1: life organized, my business organized? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Or why I get time to spend time with my kids?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Stop giving my attention to
Speaker 1: motherfuckers who don't deserve it, and get more that attention
Speaker 1: to that My family members, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: who need me? You know what I mean? My brother kids,
Speaker 1: you know, my kids, what have you? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like it's so much more to list, it's taller than
Speaker 1: my last You get what I'm saying. You lot, though,
Speaker 1: Do you have to change the people around you? Did
Speaker 1: you see all to switch up on you and people
Speaker 1: that you thought will family switch up on you? Absolutely? Hey,
Speaker 1: y'ah with that? The hardest was that the hardest artist
Speaker 1: family and the people that you thought were your family
Speaker 1: switch up on you. Was that the hardest thing that's
Speaker 1: still with the dealing with that. It wasn't hard dealing
Speaker 1: with that cause I was born into this cut throat shit, right,
Speaker 1: So like that type shit really ain't like you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up the environment I grew up in. Man,
Speaker 1: Like you know, like your family members have got damn
Speaker 1: steal your shit to help you look for it. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. It's like that. So it's I'm
Speaker 1: I'm used to that, and so that's what a lot
Speaker 1: of motherfuckers don't know, Like when it come to me
Speaker 1: like that part, I know anybody across you I've been
Speaker 1: k do that, you know what I mean? That'd be
Speaker 1: where a lot of motherfuckers are where I had them
Speaker 1: full too, Like they're think it's sweet they not knowing
Speaker 1: Like I didn't know already. I didn't. I didn't have
Speaker 1: that type of shit done to me and in their streets.
Speaker 1: I didn't done that type of shit, you get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So that part is whatever. The hardest part
Speaker 1: with it is severing the ties with the motherfuckers who
Speaker 1: you do like that that particular you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: group and understanding like like that, like really processing that ship,
Speaker 1: like nigga, you got damn tripping you acting like one
Speaker 1: of them type niggas you chripping. You know, that's the
Speaker 1: that's the hardest part to me. But like when anybody
Speaker 1: I done met through like you know, music or some
Speaker 1: other shit like that. Man, you don't trust nobody trust
Speaker 1: my daughter. I trust my daughter. I trust people to
Speaker 1: beat themselves. Man, at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 1: I trust people to beat themselves. And I know a
Speaker 1: person is I know it's human nature. I know. I
Speaker 1: know it's human nature to to preserve you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, your own best interest. This is what I know.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. So even when people have moments,
Speaker 1: So when people have you know, that's natural. Like that
Speaker 1: ain't something I hold against the motherfuckers see those the
Speaker 1: type of situation like those A type shit like that,
Speaker 1: I that type shit I can reconcile. But anybody who
Speaker 1: never who never try to like assassinate a nigga character,
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying, like or take money out
Speaker 1: out my pocket, you know what I'm saying, Or especially
Speaker 1: motherfuckers who I don't put money in their pocket or
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like like you got motherfuckers
Speaker 1: who would go from goddamn boy, you saved my life.
Speaker 1: You saved my life. The goddamn you feel me if
Speaker 1: it's to say they face they goddamn act there. Boy,
Speaker 1: it's like my nigga, like this shit is like you
Speaker 1: know it ain't it's black and white, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like you got that type shit
Speaker 1: like I ain't. I don't come up off of that,

Speaker 1: a for a period of time, he did the damn thing.
Speaker 1: He did what I wanted to see him. Do you

Speaker 1: and did his thing. You know what I'm saying. For
Speaker 1: whatever period of time that he did do it. Like
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember it was certain motherfuckers. We had
Speaker 1: certain motherfucker like they'll want to work with him just
Speaker 1: as much as me. And that's what that was the goal.
Speaker 1: That's what the nigga wanted. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But for other motherfuckers who see that and like, I'll
Speaker 1: never be a lick. I ain't never been a successful lick. Like,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna happen. You might think, you might think
Speaker 1: it's got them going there, but shit, ask Aryan bumping

Speaker 1: going or just look, you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah it ain't. We know how. Yeah, I ain't talk
Speaker 1: about like responding that way, but I'm just saying like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it ain't not and not even though push up. It's
Speaker 1: just like like I do. I do things righteously at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, even when I get on
Speaker 1: a nigga ass, even when I put my And that's
Speaker 1: why I make it through these ships. That's why I
Speaker 1: got them overcome any of these obstacles, because if I
Speaker 1: got them do something, I did it righteously, whether if
Speaker 1: it's whether if it's got them something it's considered good
Speaker 1: or if it's something, if it's or if it's got them.
Speaker 1: If I kill a nigga, I did it righteously. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. So I'm going home. I ain't
Speaker 1: even tripping and I'm got them. I'm like this all
Speaker 1: I'm like, I might suck my thumb like my dog.
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping some motherfucking good because I'm not doing nothing
Speaker 1: that I ain't supposed to be doing. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Troumble that comes with that too, And
Speaker 1: you've had to do that, you had to defend yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some trauma that comes with that. Like
Speaker 1: you know, my man shock and say kol he did
Speaker 1: nineteen years you know for a situation that went wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a drug dealing. He always says, like there's out of
Speaker 1: night that he was in there that he didn't think about.
Speaker 1: See he went to jail. That trauma come from jail.
Speaker 2: Why you you said it came from taking the person's
Speaker 2: life too, even though it was in defense, even though
Speaker 2: self defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't selling no drugs. God damn. When when
Speaker 1: it happened with me, I was I was shopping for
Speaker 1: baby clothes, so you know, I don't you feel me?
Speaker 1: But of course you know anytime somebody, somebody life is lost,
Speaker 1: you know it, whether whether whether knowingly or not, you
Speaker 1: know it probably definitely got some type of effect on
Speaker 1: you feel me. But like I say, like I operate righteously,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, everything I do, so I'm
Speaker 1: okay with whatever results I get from that. Now, if
Speaker 1: I'm doing something unrighteously, which I don't do, that ain't
Speaker 1: even how I'm rocking. I don't even gotta do that.
Speaker 1: But I'll do something unrighteously, the hell yeah, that shit
Speaker 1: will hunt me every single day, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: like it it bothered me more that I'm letting motherfuckers
Speaker 1: play that I'm settling with what I got to offer
Speaker 1: as a as an artist, as a person for two years.
Speaker 1: That type of shit to hunt me more than you know,
Speaker 1: doing something righteously and it going you know what can
Speaker 1: be damn bucking beast always is you know, uh, the
Speaker 1: wrong way. It's all those situations feel like it brought
Speaker 1: it on, Like it's like people wanted to test you
Speaker 1: because they wanted to see, well, let me see how
Speaker 1: how how tough the baby is. Let me see if
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to swing on me. Let me see.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it was the tough ship. I
Speaker 1: think it was the contrast with me, like the fact
Speaker 1: that like, like I'm so animated, right, and I could
Speaker 1: be I'm so I could be so entertaining, and then
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not on tough guy ship, like I be chilling,
Speaker 1: like I'm not too cool for myself. I'm not too
Speaker 1: tough for myself. Like you gotta think when I switched
Speaker 1: my fucking name, I wore a diaper to market the
Speaker 1: new name the baby. You get what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: I had a glock twenty three inside that bitch. So
Speaker 1: it's a difference, like you ain't You're not gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: like it would have been fell off. But bro, you
Speaker 1: know it's I think it's the contrast and just the
Speaker 1: fact that like then, like niggas ain't you know that's
Speaker 1: how this ship go out here brou at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. So I don't really you know, I
Speaker 1: take it. I take it, you know, with a grain
Speaker 1: of soft situation by situation, you you play with this ship,
Speaker 1: you know, it's Hey, it is what it is, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it ain't but me knowing
Speaker 1: that like it don't me knowing where I take it
Speaker 1: ain't enough for me to got there walk around like
Speaker 1: these niggas and be on. Goddamn this type of time.
Speaker 1: Hell no, I be got damn smiling doing the TikTok
Speaker 1: with my daughter. You bring your ass over she know,
Speaker 1: bring your ass over here playing she gonna get to

Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 1: You rooted. I'm with my daughter right now, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, not right now? And they get to
Speaker 1: and they and they ignore the warning, the you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, They look my baby. I God damn
Speaker 1: Jay look okay. You know so I think even that
Speaker 1: got a lot to do with while niggas, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like they got to test it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like that's what people do that
Speaker 1: and I come from that too, Like it's that's just
Speaker 1: culture period. Like when it comes to the streets, like
Speaker 1: you see a nigga. I remember seeing like an interview
Speaker 1: with Biggie before, like you see the nigga, especially my
Speaker 1: city or whatever, and I come from that, like from
Speaker 1: the Carolina, like we're from the Carolina's like this ain't niggas,
Speaker 1: ain't the nigga is own. It's fucked that nigga. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I'm the only one you
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So it's I've been up against
Speaker 1: all that shit for me to even be able to
Speaker 1: navigate through that and survive and make it up out
Speaker 1: of Charlotte, Like that's yeah, that ain't you know? That's
Speaker 1: not normal That I was already conditioned for that shit.
Speaker 1: So that's why I can get it can get viewed
Speaker 1: as arrogant the way I do navigate through situations or
Speaker 1: deal with them as a mainstream artist, because they not knowing,
Speaker 1: like in my city. That's why it still ain't been
Speaker 1: another nigga after me, because you gotta you gotta have
Speaker 1: a certain type of goddamn skin. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You gotta have tough skin to come from where we're from.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You got to So I
Speaker 1: was already conditioned like I'm not. I really ain't trusted
Speaker 1: when niggas got the you know what I'm saying, showing
Speaker 1: me all that love, I ain't. That's why I ain't
Speaker 1: come in on noboddy, but this ship, you know what

Speaker 1: nothing but a but a free a free kill, you know.
Speaker 1: And I could have went platinum the next day with
Speaker 1: the with the type of negative ship and the ship
Speaker 1: that this world gravitates towards and that type of ship.
Speaker 1: So that's that's proof in itself that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't exploit like these types of situations
Speaker 1: when they do go that way, because then that would
Speaker 1: that would be me doing it, you know, unrighteously, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And the Vice President of the United States of Americas
Speaker 2: that she owned guns and if somebody breaks in their house,
Speaker 2: they're getting shot.

Speaker 1: going through absolutely thousand percent not and not even you know, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I don't even got no fucking no, no run around
Speaker 1: when it comes to that, A thousand percent for sure.
Speaker 1: And that's like what that's that's a that's a problem

Speaker 1: men in particular have like this is what we literally
Speaker 1: gotta do, you know what I'm saying, Like it ain't
Speaker 1: nobody else to where. Okay, you get pulled over, God
Speaker 1: damn it, you know what I mean. The nigga want
Speaker 1: to shoot you off the rip, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it's like we been conditioned to be like this
Speaker 1: for them for so long. I'd even get too revolutionary,
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. But it's like it's a
