I want 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.160 to say, the last time we did an interview was 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.440 in twenty seventeen. Was that like four years. It's been 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.599 a while and we've seen each other. We talk a lot, 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.360 you know, but as far as like actually sitting down 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.319 having a conversation, it's been a long time. Man. You 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.800 did a whole season of Bernard's Roundtable. Yeah. I tried. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.640 I tried. I tried it out, man, and it was great. 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.080 It was good. You know, it was good. I actually 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.040 really enjoyed it. I just you know, you guys use 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.720 your time like as you know, best as you can. 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.680 I don't know if that was well received. I'm glad 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.800 you liked it. I'm to do it again. I love 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.360 the Tommy Chong episode. Yeah, that was good. That was 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.320 a good one. It was good. Now. You know, it's 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.319 funny because I just was watching an interview with Joe 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.720 Rogan one of his episodes, and he was saying, like 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.159 the guy on the show was trying to convince him 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.840 to do NFTs, and Joe was like, I don't have 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.680 time for this shit. Like all the time I have 0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:00.080 like has to be you know, allocateds wisely. You know 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.320 what I mean. Pick, you gotta pick your projects. I mean, 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.080 people have been getting at me about NFTs every day, 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.560 and it's like every every day a new homie figures 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.160 out what the NFT is and calls me this master plan. 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.640 It's kind of like the CBD joke, Like I got it. 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.720 I got a great idea, let's start a CBD company, 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.360 like everyone everyone has a CBD company. Yeah, you know, 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.520 so I don't know about the NFT shit. I just 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.880 don't understand it, and I don't want to do something 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.840 for my audience that doesn't make sense. If I can 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.320 make it makes sense for me up here, then I'll 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.119 do it. But I just don't understand it. Bro, Well, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.679 you know what, I think you do a great job 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.679 of that I don't do a good job of. And 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.160 that's like you have so much shit going on, so 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.080 many companies. You got your music, but I always feel 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:44.000 like you do a great job of balancing family and work. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.960 You got to how did you figure it? Like that's 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.720 not an easy thing to figure out how to do? Like, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.720 how did you? How do you do that? So? Well? Well, 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.320 I just know that like at the end of the day, 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.080 our kids only know what we teach him. And you know, 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.040 like I just I really love my kids, I love 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.280 the family, and I just try to That's like, actually 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.720 the balance I need to keep going because as spread 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.880 then as I am, bro, like, I'll burn out sooner 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.359 or later. So like it's good to like be able 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.240 to just turn the phone off and just focus on 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.200 family and people respect it now in my circle, when 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.679 I'm with the kids and when I'm with the fam, 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.320 they just know that it's the balance I need to 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.960 keep working like this. It's stuff to work like this, bro, 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.040 super super draining, Nah dude, especially like however, you figured 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.080 out how to keep everything going while it's also kind 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.799 of being off the map during COVID because for people 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.160 who don't know you were kind of you was duck 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.480 ducked off up North. They're ghosted during COVID, But yet 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.239 you were still making shit happen, Like there were still 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.520 grand openings happening, and you know of cookie stores all 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.960 over the country, like we did new music. We you know, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.040 kept a clothing rocking. I think that at the end 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.320 of the day, like COVID was a big test mentally 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.920 for people to see like can you keep it cracking? 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.440 You know what I mean? Can you keep your sanity? 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.480 Can you? And it's tough, man, Like we took the 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.400 precautions before we sat down, you know, And that's the 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.480 way I move it now. Like I got eight tests 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.920 in my backpack, you know, each test kit got too. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.639 If I see this one, they got to take a test. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.960 I think it is the best most responsible thing to do. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.680 Whether it's accurate or not, it's a good peace of 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.400 mind because we can't treat people like geranis man. It's 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.079 just like it's getting weird. So for me, that's been 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.120 the best. Like now that the tests are more available 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.160 at Walgreens and whatnot, I've been able to move around 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.840 a little more. But yeah, COVID was rough, bro, and 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.600 I just bought a house and the cuts and just 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.440 chilled out for as long as I could. And I 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.079 think that like it really like let people understand life 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.880 is precious and you got to pick your circles, you 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.200 know what I mean. Yeah, you've been extremely cautious with 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.160 the COVID shit, a lot more cautious than some of 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.600 your counterparts maybe in the hip hop game, right, Like 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.240 what what's the motivation? Behind that. I mean, my uncles 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.600 died from two of them, and like you know, I 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.840 look at my texts every other day to remind myself, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.720 you know, he was just fine like me and you were, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.400 and then was like I'm going to hospital and then 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.080 from the hospitals like yo, they're gonna put me on 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.680 this machine and die. And so it's like it happens 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.400 like that, you know what I mean. And so I've 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.000 seen a lot of people struggle for it, and I 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.240 think that people that lost people to COVID, it hits 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.560 a little harder, hits home. My Grammar died man exactly, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.080 and so like you know, I've just been bro. I've 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.280 always been paranoid though, but that's why, you know, I'm 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.520 always worried. That's why I've never been you know, never 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.000 been to jail. I never. I've always moved a certain way, 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.960 and I think that's what got me where I'm at. Bro, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.719 just being cautious, but at the same time, like understanding, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.080 you still got to move, you know what I mean, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.960 So just move right. Yeah, that's real. I think, Uh, 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.640 it's been a weird like unfortunately, like COVID, I feel 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.760 like also as originally I feel like it was politics 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.560 that was dividing people, and that kind of leaked into 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.799 COVID dividing people. I believe COVID is a way bigger 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.560 agenda than what we see it as right now. It's 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.640 it's a very big agenda too, in my opinion, and 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.599 we won't dive into it too deep, but I feel 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.400 like it's an attack on you know, US as as 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.760 a civilization, but also like US as America too. I 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.560 think they're trying to cripple our fucking our economy and 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.039 just us as people. You have to understand COVID is 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.560 more of a mental thing than it is anything. It's 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.760 really like, when you get COVID, you're by yourself. You 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.040 have to isolate, you have to sociate. It's like just 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.599 fucking with your head elo much. And the way I 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.479 look at it now was like, all right, look, my 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.600 kids are back in school. I'll take the risk for that. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:08.719 I mean, let them go back to school, let them 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.720 enjoy their life, let them chill with their friends, let 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.080 them play sports. If I'm gonna get this shit, I'm 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.279 gonna get it from the house, but I'll take the 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.839 precautions when I'm out and about. For sure, got too 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.000 let's go back burn like, you know, for people who 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.359 don't know where did you start at when it comes 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.040 to making music and getting into the weed game from 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.400 the jump, Yeah, and I mean music. Always been a 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.120 fan of music, and that's why I still make it. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.560 I don't make music because it makes me better. I 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.440 don't think I'm the best musician. I'm a fan of it. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.880 I love to put records together. So I start off 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.479 musically by battle rapping and frisco at this coffee shop 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.520 on Hate Street. Let's go there and battle wrap cats 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.640 and had fun with it and used to battle rap 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.920 out the people and just I mean, I don't even 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.320 think a lot of people know that, but that's how 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.160 I started fucking with it. And then from there I 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.080 met some cool producers, and you know, I had an 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.760 a track at the time. I was making music on 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.360 my garage in Arizona. I told the story before a 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.839 couple of times, but I was in a continuation school 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.880 in Arizona. A kid approached me and he was kind 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.200 of like this where I first started before going to Frisco. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.160 He tried to convince me. He's like, yo, you look 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.000 like a rapper. You'd probably be a dope rapper spit 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.240 some I'm like, spit what, Like, how do you do it? 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.080 He like, spit a little freestyle got me do it 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.320 was whack. It's like, man, I think you should buy 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.840 my equipment. You should buy my little a track or 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.400 it was a four track or whatever it was. It 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.440 was like not even that actually was like a karaoke 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.719 setup type thing. He's like, you can record music, you 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.480 put the beat, you wrap on the mic, you can 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.760 make your own shop. Like really, So I went asked 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.000 my mom for the money. She was kind of against it, 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.520 but gave it. He was like two hundred three hundred 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.520 bucks or something. I bought it off him, and I 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.320 remember watching him go brad to his friends that he 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.040 upgraded to a four track or a track. So I 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.440 was like, ah, motherfucker kind of played me, but I 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.240 started playing with it. So start out just fucking around 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.560 the garage in Arizona, hundred and ten degree fucking garage, 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.120 serious heat, and I told my mom. I was like, look, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.039 if I want to take this music shit seriously, I 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:00.600 got to get back to debaby. She moved back to 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.680 the Bay Area because where we were fum. That's why 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.120 the independent music game is as JT was doing his thing, 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.000 go To was doing there, everyone was there. I just seen, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.600 like you know forty, I was like, I'm never gonna 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.440 make music here in Arizona. I think my mom was supported. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.600 I was like, let's let's go move back to the Bay. Then. Fuck, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.480 So your mom actually made the decision to move back 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.440 to the Bay based on you wanted to pursue music. Yeah, 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.480 that's huge. That's that's a big gamble on her part 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.160 as as an adult because she changed everything. She changed 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.680 like her work path, like everything she was doing, she 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.560 just switched up for that, which is dope as fun. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.000 What year did your mom pass? Twenty ten? So she 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.960 kind of got to see like the beginning of this 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.480 starting to really work out. Yeah, she started like right 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.520 like she saw up until like she saw weekend at Bernie. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.600 She saw like ship like that, and I think like 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.240 she didn't see the she didn't see Yoko the White album. Now, 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.320 she didn't see Yoka and all that stuff now, but 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.240 she at least she saw that there was like she 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.320 saw that's dope, man. She used to teach workout classes 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.200 to my ship. Wow, you know, water aerobics classes to 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.720 my shit, and you know, my shit ain't nothing to 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.120 teaching no fucking aerobics, right right, right, right, right, hilarious. Actually, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.840 that's that's funny. And then what about, like, you know, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.920 the weed shit. Obviously, you know you talk about it 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.640 in your wraps all the time, and but but when 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.800 did you kind of start to become like serious when 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.560 it came to just the weed shit, because obviously it 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.080 all starts from a place where it's trapping and then 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:29.880 it evolves down love of weed. And I was like, 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.560 I gotta do this, you know, no matter what it is, 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.959 from doing what I was doing when I was younger 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.880 to getting into the dispensary stuff to you know, when 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.839 I was just working at a dispensary, you were doing 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.640 security a dispensary something, right. I got hired as like 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.480 a kind of like an intake person, like you know, 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.640 people show up, I check their doctor letter and make 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.160 sure it's official, call the doctor check, buzz them into 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.840 the main area where they go buy the weed, and 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.440 then move me into like we actually like sell the weed. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.240 I was a bud tender and then went from there 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.240 to a buyer. And that's when I really fell with 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.679 the shit talking to all the vendors and the growers 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.520 and seeing different strains and whatnot. Then to a manager 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.679 running the shop. And it's funny because people would come 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.600 in fans in the music and couldn't believe I just 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.120 worked there. They thought I owned it, and so so 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.760 people would be fucking with your music, come to the 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.560 dispensary and then they see you and they'd be like, oh, 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.360 this is Burner Spot, but you were was my shop. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.240 I just was fucking working there because I loved it, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.000 And as my music career got bigger and bigger, I 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.000 had to commit less and less time to working there 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.600 and eventually just figured out how to do my own thing, 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.360 you know. So yeah, because like with cookies, like I remember, 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.240 like I remember, like the first time I me and 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.000 you met was it was in two thousand and thirteen 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.120 at south By, But before that, it might we might 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.280 have met before that in Phoenix. I don't know if 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.000 that was before or after you and Chevy did that 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.880 little tour run. Yeah, but I remember there was like 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.000 a world Star video of you and some like Asian 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.400 Chick where you were having to do interesting things with smoke. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.600 A lot of people, a lot of people don't know 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.080 why I did that. I'm not proud of that shit. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.000 And I always joke about that she's gonna come back 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.920 and ham me shout out to Suki. And there was 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.920 one before her too, But like, so we're the first 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.440 ones ever put a hashpen in front of the world, Like, 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.160 no one's ever seen what everyone uses now, the vapens. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.920 I was the first. We're the first crew to ever 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.240 show that off. Like my my guys invented that shit, right, 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.760 it was before anyone seen it. And I was trying 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.280 to figure out way to get equity in the company. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:27.880 I'm like, Yo, this shits about to be a game.

Yeah, And so they 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.240 didn't really understand the reach I had, and I knew 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.240 the Internet and promotion or whatever. And it's a World 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.080 Star era too. Yeah, so this is when World Stars cracking. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:43.480 And so they're like, look, if you can get this 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.199 an amazing around amount of promotion, you know, we consider 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.400 bringing you as a partner. I'm like, all right, So 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.199 I just thought the Stone Girl's gone wild and I 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.280 just did it, and they hit like millions of views 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.679 the same day. And I was like, is this good enough? 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.000 And they were so fucking mad. They're like, dude, what 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.280 the fuck would you do that for? But every one 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.760 wanted to depend after that, so you know, they're like, well, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.679 you did that once, you can't pull it off again. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.920 I'm like, shit, I already got an idea. And I 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.400 met Suki in the strip club and I was like, yo, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.120 you want to be famous? And she was like how. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.960 I'm like, should probably be better if I just holler 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.240 at you outside here, and I followed at her and 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:21.880 I was like, look, you're gonna smoke this pen with 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.480 your ass and she's like, you're fucking nuts.

It's like a horror no, 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.719 but it's pretty fucking weird. It's like where I could 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.040 deal with. So you know, should shout out to Suki? 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.360 That shit went platinum. Drake dm me because of that. Wow, 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.480 Drake shot me a damn. I'm like Yo, you're a 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.320 wild man, you know. Pull up to me at the 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.600 model video. I'm in the bay. I'm like, damn that 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.959 full seen that ship. So it is what it is, man, 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.320 that ship did what it did? You know? Yo? Like 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:06.440 story behind Cookies because Cookies has become I mean weed aside. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.360 I feel like it's the best seller at Zoomies. It's 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:10.959 got to be. I mean every time I go to Zoomies, 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.800 I mean front of the window all over the country. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.480 The clothing line itself has just became its own monster man, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.600 like it's it's it's dope as fuck because I never 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.920 thought it would last as long. You see clothing lines 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.640 kind of like rise and yeah always we ain't dead, bro, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.880 We're still going. And I think there's so much more growth. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.840 And I think the reason why it's popping is because 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.800 clothes are dope. The accessories are dope. It's innovative, it's 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.760 it's fly, looks clean, it's not too much like and 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.520 like I did it the right way, Like I never, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.760 like I watched clothing companies back in the days just 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.560 send huge boxes to people and I never did that, bro, 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.680 I never I had too much pride as an artists, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.040 as well to big are the artists to promote my shit? 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:50.959 I just let that shit right off my fan base, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.840 and my fan base and my supporters start blowing that 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.719 shit up. And I still don't know how that is. Yeah. 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.280 It used to be like I'd go to the airport 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.400 and if I saw someone with some cookie shit on, 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.080 I'd be like, oh, do you know, like do you 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.280 know burn or like you know like because it was 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.800 a very small, like niche type of community. But now 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.560 everyone has cookies on you know what side to me, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.400 cookies outgrow with me. People know who cookies what cookies 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.760 is and don't know me. And that's amazing because before 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.800 it was the other way around. Yeah, before they'd be like, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.840 oh yeah Burning, But people see people with cookies on, 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.520 like you know Burn, Like who? This is amazing? It works. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.760 What is like, like, give people like an idea of 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.400 I've heard some I mean I heard some numbers a 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.960 couple of years ago, like about how how how good 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.040 y'all were doing on the clothing side, But like, give 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.000 me an idea and how good this thing is doing 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.079 right now? Only because I love you. I always if 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.720 you look at any interview, I always say I'm not 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.000 talking numbers, but you know, at some point in time, 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.360 like you know, I see all the rappers online flexing 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.199 with their you know, their cash by their ear and shit, 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.400 I don't do that shit. But I mean, I guess 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.360 how flex say, I mean cookies on path, You're like 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.240 probably like I think fifty to fifty five million this year. Clothing, 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.720 just clothing, just clothing. Yeah, last year we did thirty 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:03.520 two million clothing. It feels great. Congrats man, And and 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.679 the type thing is is like we just got started, bro, 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.439 Like we haven't even opened up flagship stores everywhere. We 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.520 haven't really went to other countries yet, Like we haven't 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.600 really done what we're about to do. You know, there's 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.680 the future forecast of cookies, clothing, just the clothing, not 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.400 the weed, just the clothing is pretty dope. Yeah, And 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.160 I think too, like just some of the like collabse 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.760 and like the licensing, like when you guys do like 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.600 the Scarface line or the Good Fellows line that just 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.360 came out sick, Like it's always on point. And some 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:31.920 of the next ones we have coming are going to 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.080 shock the fuck out of people. Like some of the 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.880 ones that we've locked down is incredible. Like I can't 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.080 even believe we got it. Wow. Okay, and then on 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.920 the cause you know, I do feel like you don't 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.480 get it for whatever reason, you don't get enough respect 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.720 on a lot of fronts. Yeah, I like it though. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.400 I like that shit. As a rapper. You're I think 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.360 you're the hardest working rap. I mean, I don't know 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.880 people who have an output like you. There's very few people, 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.960 maybe the Griselda guys, who are putting out as much 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.560 albums as you do every year. Forty plus albums out 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.600 right now. I feel like it's three for a year 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.600 automatic and I own the catalog, so it's like, you know, shit, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.640 it's right there. That's a whole nother animal too, you 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.360 know what I mean. Like the rat money is good too. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.080 I don't even be flexing that ship, but the rat 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.320 money is good too. Yeah, Like everything goes away. If 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.720 you just had your rat money, you'd be living nicely. Bro. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.000 I can honestly live and raise my family off the music. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.080 And that's the funny thing is Oh, he's just a 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.440 wee guy, or he's just just cook that school. You 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.520 can say all you want, but shit, the rat money's 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:32.800 cool too. I mean twenty joints is gold or platinum? Gold? Yeah, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:37.720 it's my only gold. Well that and uh, I think 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.160 I'm on that's the only song I have that one go. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.640 I think Elchievo should be getting close, but that's gotta 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.760 be close. Yeah. I never got a gold album though. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.240 That's my that's like my bucket is before I die, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.280 I got to get a gold album. I mean, I 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.080 feel like over time, one of your albums has got 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.880 to get there eventually, Like, what is your biggest album 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.960 as far as like numbers wise, Like I think I 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.440 think the biggest album number wise is probably it got 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.800 to be. Like I think packs did really well. Packs 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.920 are probably my favorite. Packs did really well. Dude. Back 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.040 in the days when you could sell physical CDs, the 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.640 below albums with MESSI, Marvel did Hello Good too, Shit 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.640 went crazy bro, Like I was selling like fifteen thousand physicals, 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.600 you know what I mean? And then whatever the streaming 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.720 side was. So I don't know. I mean I think 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.760 that like I like being an underground artist. So because 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.840 you have to understand, like mainstream artists, they get a 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.240 song on the radio and then as soon as they 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.040 come off the radio, they say they fell off. Right 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.240 if you look at my music career. If you're looking 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.680 at business, it's only gone like this every year. Now. 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:49.040 I've never shot up. I've never had a straight home run, right, 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.520 but I've elevated every year. So if I get a 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.480 record that hits hits, I got forty two album catalog 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.160 to back that up. So well, that's I was gonna 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.440 ask you. You really don't have like a and I 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.440 don't know if any things changed, but you don't really 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.840 have like a manager per se. Right now, I don't 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.680 have a manager. I don't even have a booking agent. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.240 I actually shout out to Bobby d Uncle Snoop's army. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.440 He's been booking me. Yeah, but I'm really just I'm 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.159 a sick fuck keV. I like to be hands on 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.480 with everything. Bro, wasn't gon say? Because I feel like 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.560 you've had records. I feel like you put a bag 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.280 behind a record once. I think it was the Busy 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.200 Body record or what was the record that you put 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.119 a back behind a record? Was it? The one with 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.320 this was like three or four years ago and I 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.760 got mad as it didn't work? Which one you got mad? 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.200 And I told you, Bro, you hired the wrong guy. Yeah, 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.760 I think it was a busy body record, bro. But 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.240 I feel like you've had records that, like, especially after that, 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.720 like records of a boogie records with G records. I mean, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.199 you've had some crazy records that. I mean, there's the 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:51.800 one with two chains Whizz Cameron and fucking someone else 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.600 that should have been should have been out of here, 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.840 like I just should have been gone, bro. But I 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.160 mean all in a Day was all and day should 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:00.719 have been gone too. All in the Day. I mean 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.480 that's old, you know, but that's a lot older. You know. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.960 I think that Latino artists don't really get the props 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.600 they desserve. Bro. It's weird. It's weird, like it's weird. 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.560 It's really weird. Like it's hard to break through, bro. 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.960 But I don't even try to understand this shit no more. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.399 I prefer where I'm at, Like I see some of 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.080 the mainstream artists and I look at some of the 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:18.639 deals they're in and some of the things they have 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.359 to deal with, and they don't own their music. Like 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.080 I'm happy where I'm at. I feel like you get 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.199 to kind of do what makes you happy in the 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.040 music industry without having to worry about all the shit 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.040 that makes people hate this shit because you're just doing you. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.320 There's no pressure. There's no pressure. You built your own world. Yeah, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.359 I'm good. I mean we're down the street right now 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.880 knocking down some shit, bro, and the music sounds. It's 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.360 probably the best body of work that I've ever created, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:45.200 and there's no pressure. Yeah. I mean, you know, you've 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.520 always came through the clutch with some great collab projects. 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.639 I think my favorite collab album you've ever done is 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.840 probably the one with Mazi. Yeah. Man, I think that's 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:59.359 front to back. That's probably top three project of years 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.480 for me because you know what, like the energy in 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.479 there was like it was like the best energy as 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.119 far as like, like I was vibing off him, he 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.119 was vibing off me. Made me set my game up. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.960 But my beat selection is crazy, bro, Like I'm like 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.199 an underground Cali. When he comes back, I was gonna say, 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.200 you got that Rick ROSSI are low kid, Yeah, I 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.000 got I got that good ear Low when he comes 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.040 down beats and putting artists on beats, they usually on 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.520 wrap two like, and that's why maybe I'm in the 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.359 position i'm Matt because I'll get a big artist and 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.200 put them on a sample beat instead of like trying 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.000 to go big. But I don't want to fucking go big, 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.200 Like I don't want to be on the fucking radio. Bro. Yeah, 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.400 what is uh like? And you know there's been this 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.120 project with Wiz that we've gotten teased over for. Yeah, 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:39.399 I think it was supposed to come out like two 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.960 or three Christmases ago, like six years ago, yea with seven. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.359 I don't know, man, I know you guys probably got 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.440 a ton of records in the cut no one's ever heard. Yeah, 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.520 they're sitting there, you know. I just when the time 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.440 is right, he'll let me know. And even if he 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.960 wants to drop it, I'm down. And I think that, 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.880 you know, like there's a lot more records to make. 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.400 And I mean me and Wiz make great music, dude, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.800 like I have. I have a really good year for 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:04.760 beats when it comes to him too, Like I feel 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.080 like I pick really good records like with him, you 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.080 know what I mean? Like I love and then we 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.080 bring like a certain kind of energy out of each other, 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:12.679 Like when I pull up on him to the studio, 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.760 like he'll bust out a different style that he ain't 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.359 really been using. When it comes to stuff that we do. 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.359 So I feel like when the Me and Whiz album 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.280 happens's gonna be powerful because we've been sitting on it 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.840 for so long. So you know, when the time comes, 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.000 I think people will be fired up. Who do you? Uh? 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.440 Is there any talks of you doing any collab albums 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.439 or anybody else? Right now? Seems like we get one 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.520 a year or so. Yeah, you know, me and Rose 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:34.960 are supposed to do one like a small EP like 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.919 probably three to six songs. That's gonna be fire, you 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.560 know what I mean. Like I can't wait for that. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.600 I've been actually saving like a lot of mental space 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.359 for that. Like if you notice this year, I drop 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.480 less albums this year than I ever had because I've 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.080 been waiting for the Rose album. And then me and 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.560 Azuna are doing like a project. It's not a it's 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.320 not a Goop album. We'll probably have like two or 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.440 three records together on there, powerful ones, but we're gonna 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.800 use like our both of our reach to put together 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:01.840 like sick ass projects just kind of based around the 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.440 brand we're building. So you know, other artists from Latin 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.920 America from here just create like a sick ass like 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.840 almost like a compilation but more like a maybe this 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.399 will be like an annual project like every other year 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.640 or something like that. You and Ross. Ross is somebody 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.240 who I feel like has also kind of laid the 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.879 blueprint on how to be a successful entrepreneur. One of 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.439 the easiest best partners I've ever worked with. I mean, 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:28.680 he's one of the hardest working, smartest, easiest partners I've 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.600 ever had, straight up. Yeah, because you've obviously collaborated with 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.320 a lot of artists on the on that side of 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.880 the game, right And I'm sure sometimes it's a little bit, 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.720 you know, things haven't worked out sometimes, And I'm sure 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.399 you know, some people are just scared to use their 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.560 platform to promote the shit you're working on. Like Rose, 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.359 he's getting on Instagram, He's pushing that shit. He's not playing. 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.960 He's a businessman. And also he understands the long term play. 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.080 You know, my advice to a lot of people out there, 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.120 a lot of people are looking for that money right now. 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.440 They want their money right now. What can I get 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.359 right now? There's power in building equity, you know what 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.440 I mean, Like when I look at equity and cookies alone, 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.440 Like the weed side, we talked about the clothing side. 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:05.359 We look at the weed side we're getting. We're gonna 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.480 get there for sure. Yeah, So I know what my 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.199 equity is. I'm not I only take a small salary 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.520 from Cookies to weast side. I get like a salary 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.320 that's almost laughable when the type of shit I do. 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.080 But the equity is there if I ever want to pull. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.360 So he understands that long term play. And that's why 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:22.320 me and Rose work so good together because he knows 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:25.280 we're building something that's super long term. Especially when we 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.159 open up Cookies Florida. His brand's gonna dominate out there 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:29.800 because he's been such an easy guy to work with, 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.160 and we take that in the back of rad right cool. 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:34.680 When we open up Florida, we're gonna have four hundred 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.359 thousand square feet of indoor cultivation. I'm gonna put this 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:39.480 shit in heavy rotation. We're probably gonna make it store 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.359 dedicated to his brand, Collins ab fully decked out with 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.240 his logos everywhere. Like, I just appreciate the hard work 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.320 and the vision and the long term play because there 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.040 is a big exit, you know. Yeah, let's let's get 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.400 Let's let's kind of tap into the weed shit a bit. 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.840 Like I said, man, you are underappreciated, under respected in 0:22:55.880 --> 0:23:00.320 this game. I always tell everybody Burner is rich than 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.640 all of the rappers, like you know, and I don't 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.439 even I don't even try to think like that. No, 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.119 but I listen. I'd be having arguments about fuckers for 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:08.800 you when you ain't around, and I'd be like yo, 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.679 like legit. And I'm not saying no names, but I 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.159 don't know anybody in hip hop outside of maybe fucking 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.680 doctor Dre or some shit, maybe Diddy. You know, maybe 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.199 you know the guys we think of, and these are 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.280 more executives at this point. But when we're talking like, 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.000 I don't know anybody who's who's fucking with you when 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.320 it comes to net worth, buddy, at this point, well, 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:33.040 if you look at like cookies, clothing, cookies, cannabis, if 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.080 you look at Vibes papers, Vibes is on a crazy, 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.960 crazy run, crazy traction, Like I get anxious think about that, 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.320 and you think about like equity and weed maps, and 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.040 you look at stuff like Gepen and San Cruz Shredder, 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.399 and you know things that people forgot I have my 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.560 hands in, Like there's a crazy ecosystem of very valuable 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:54.080 companies and it's kind of spooky sometimes, man. I just 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:56.479 you know, I heard listen to me, I heard a 0:23:56.560 --> 0:24:01.399 rumor that that cookies was offered, uh pretty much to 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:03.480 get bought for like close to a billion dollars and 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:05.600 you guys turn that down. Is that true? Yeah? No, 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.720 we get crazy offers all the time. Someone was just 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:09.760 sitting down with us recently trying to get us to 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:13.280 go take our shit out on the Canadian Canadian stock 0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.040 Market and whatnot. And the numbers there talking about there 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:19.000 if we went out, like it's crazy, and I just 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:20.960 like the way I look at is like that shit 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.880 ain't real. I just keep my head down, keep trying 0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.840 to focus on you know, how do we keep this 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:28.040 shit running? I don't even think, because if you focus 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:29.960 on the numbers too much, you'll get caught up in that, 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.680 you'll get comfortable. I'm never comfortable. You know. We had 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:34.359 we had this ship set up at new and I was, 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:36.560 I text you, hell early, can we do earlier? Yeah? 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:38.919 I mean, like course, because I always work bro I 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:40.879 and I think I got that from my pops, you 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:42.679 know what I mean, Like, I just never really focused 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.560 on it. But to get to your point, yeah, the 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.560 network is probably pretty pretty powerful right now, and I 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.880 don't even know when or how that's going to happen. 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:53.600 Knocking on a billion, yeah, probably, I think so, I 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.360 think so. I mean I don't really know. I mean, 0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.920 I know cookies is I know next time we raise 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.400 money for cookies going to be in the multiple billions. 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.880 So just look at that like that. Well, I mean 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:07.359 it seems as if too, like anytime there's a new 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:11.280 market that becomes legal, there's like three cookie stores that 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:12.879 open in the state straight up. And then you got 0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:16.120 Lemonade too. Yeah, and Lemonade is another brand that your 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.399 sister brand. Yes, you don't want to overwater every you know, 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:22.080 hell of cookie stores, you know, cookies like Nike town 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.320 almost right, But we came with the sister brand, Lemonade, 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:29.159 which is killing it too. And I mean, it's just 0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:31.560 it's crazy to think about how much more growth there is. 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.359 I mean, there's Latin America, there's Europe, and you and 0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.240 Ozuna are doing something in Puerto Rico, right Puerto Rico. 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.560 There's the East coast. We didn't even hit the East coast. Yo. 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.320 I was town man. We were just talking about New York, 0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.040 me and my boys, Like YO, when New York. When 0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:46.480 the Cookies hits New York, Oh my god, it's about 0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.760 to go crazy. And I think the best thing about 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:50.800 our company is that we have such a good team 0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:56.600 of breeders and we're menu planning out for one hundred years, 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.280 not right just right now. I got so much genetics 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.600 in my hands right now, from all the breeders that 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:03.840 we have in house and the ones that we collaborate with. 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.000 I kind of treat it like beats. I'll sit down 0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.400 with the breeder we do a breeding project. I'm gonna 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.760 pick ABCDFG right, boom, I'll take these. I'll tell them 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:13.879 just keep them at least a couple of year or 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.439 whatever it is. But we have so much genets that 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.119 we're planning out for one hundred years. So you know, 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:21.200 we're doing really cool shit right now where we'll film 0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:24.040 it and be like, yo, it's twenty twenty one. I'm 0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.160 sitting here. It's like a Mexican chocolate I did with Body. 0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:29.640 Shout at Body, C's we're gonna take this. I wanna 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:31.919 drop this in twenty eighty. We're gonna put this in 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.280 tissue culture. This is the flavor profile. And if you 0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:36.919 work at Cookies right now, and you want to know 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:38.520 why we're dropping this. This is why I like it, 0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:39.560 and this is why I want to name it, and 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.080 we're gonna drop in twenty eighty and we take that 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.360 footage and we put it away. So one day maybe 0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:44.760 it'll be a hologram or one day it'll be a 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:48.600 video message, so maybe an NFT something, right, But point 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:50.159 being is, I don't want to open up all these 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.119 stores around the world and then have no purpose in 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.560 a direction or a vision, right, Like I thought it'd 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.719 be cool that we have hundreds of stores around the globe. 0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.760 Right when I'm dead and gone in the future, they 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.920 see video of like why we're releasing this train, why 0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.520 he liked it, why he named it what it is, 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:08.679 and to give my my employees and my team and 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.919 whoever is running them stores fucking vision, bro, Like how 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.560 these people fired up, Like a picture of you know, 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.160 Colonel Sanders popped up and was like, yo, hey guys, yeah, 0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.439 you know, like I think people at them drives who 0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.080 would take their shit a lot serious. You know, I'm 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.480 a lot more serious. So we're planning out and that's 0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:25.359 my main thing, is, like I don't get caught up 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.000 in the numbers of what Cookie is doing. I'm getting 0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.000 caught up in how do I keep the shit sustainable 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:30.520 for a long time. I want to be one hundred 0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:32.360 year brand. I don't want to be a brand that's 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:36.320 right now. I want to be popping later. As you know, 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:38.600 we had a couple of interactions with a weirdo out 0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:41.080 in Arizona, trying to make some stuff happen out there. Yeah, 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.040 but I've realized that in the weed game there's a 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:48.000 lot of fucking weirdos involved. There's a lot of emotions involved, 0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:49.919 and a lot of ego, a lot of ego, a 0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.120 lot of emotions, a lot of a lot of hay. 0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:53.879 I mean, people will try and knock what I do, 0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.320 and I tell him like this, I work with hundreds 0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.439 of partners and operators. It's the hardest thing ever to 0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:02.639 do what we do. Yeah, because for people who don't know, like, 0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:05.520 not all cookie stores are the same, right, It's not 0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:09.320 like you have to partner with people. It's a very strategic, 0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:13.320 unique model. I said, like this, look and going back 0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:15.880 to raising money, the reason why we turned down that 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:17.560 that eight hundred mili back in the day is what 0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.760 was mostly stocked. There was a good upfront. Don't get 0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:21.200 me wrong. There was a lot of cash, but most 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:25.120 of it was stocked. But I decided to raise small, right. 0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.800 I raised twenty million bucks and I'm still working off 0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:31.080 that same twenty million dollars from that interview, and we 0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:34.160 stretched it and turned this shit into a fucking empire 0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:37.640 wocause we decided instead of going out and buying assets 0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:39.520 and building from the ground that would take too long, 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.240 life short, take a lot of let's go identity and 0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:44.320 take a lot of money, which means a lot of dilution. 0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.040 That's why my network is high, because I kept my 0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:49.960 equity right. So what we did decided to do was 0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.400 let's go around the world. Let's go around the country 0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:54.880 and find the operators that are killing it right now, 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:58.160 right with their stores that they have going right now, 0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:00.840 or with their girls they have going right now. Let's 0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.000 do a partnership with them that's very rich in their 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:05.800 favor for right now, right and keep the majority of 0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:07.640 the money coming in right now. But we get a 0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.800 roll up option on their stores, We get a purchaser 0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.040 store in the future, right, we get a small rip 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:15.280 on percentage, and we get to have creative control of 0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:20.400 their operations. So you empower a great grower in New Jersey, 0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:22.640 give them their exit plan, you give them, you give 0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:25.960 exactly provide with exit plan, but you empower their knowledge 0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:27.960 and their skills. I would rather work with a bunch 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.840 of talented people than have to build everything for it 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:32.400 would take too long. Yeah, it takes It's a lot. 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:36.160 So our business model was find incredible operators from here 0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:39.800 to wherever we're going, empower them, give them our genetics, 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.440 give them our SLPs, make sure we have a great 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:45.520 team on the ground to oversee the operation and build right. 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.720 And it's worked fucking incredible. It's for people who don't 0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:52.400 know it's it's it's similar for people who aren't really 0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.160 into into the weed game. Would you say it's similar 0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:57.720 to kind of like a franchise model, Nah, it's different. 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.440 It's like, but you guys get to cure your rate. 0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:05.440 Who gets that carry pick like I'll go I'll go 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:07.920 to Massachusetts for example. You're not going to just let 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.040 anyone get the cookies brand. It would be over. It's 0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:12.600 quality control involved. To go to a market and you 0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.880 find the best cultivator, the best operator, and you go 0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:17.760 look at all them and what they're doing before they 0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.000 even think about partnering with you, and you you cherry 0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:22.560 pick the best and you form a partnership with them. 0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.760 You pick who's going to do it. So it's it's 0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:27.720 almost like a franchise idea, but totally different, except for 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.160 you guys get to pick because you're not gonna jeopardize 0:30:31.920 --> 0:30:33.920 the brand because when we think of cookies, we think 0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:38.480 of the best weed in the world. Yeah, no, it's 0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:40.720 it's really cool. So it's kind of like a franchise, 0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:42.520 but way different because no one could just come to 0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:44.040 us and say, hey, we got one hundred grand, let's 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.000 let us get not It doesn't work like anybody can 0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:49.040 open a Quiznos. You can't open the cookies. You guys 0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:51.920 have to. It's got to be a mutual choice. Have 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:56.280 you had a situation where you had a partner and 0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:58.080 it just didn't ended up working out, or maybe they 0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:01.720 ended up maybe fumbling, or what happens that happens to everything. 0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:03.640 I think that we've done a really good job when 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.680 finding partners, just like picking, because I've been in this 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:08.760 for a long time. But you identify me and you 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:11.880 had a similar situation we talked about. You identify things 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:13.920 right away, like Oh this ain't gonna work. Yep, it's 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.240 too trippy. We won't move forward with that. So I 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:17.959 think that we have done a good job of like 0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:21.080 judging character kind of like finding the best you know 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:22.959 in class that we can find. So we haven't had 0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:25.160 too much problems. But I think the biggest problem we 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:27.200 have is like denying batches, you know what I mean, 0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:29.680 Like we have a very strong QC team right now, 0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.680 and it took a while to learn that. Like I 0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:34.720 would lie, I didn't say there was learning curves to 0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:37.640 expand this fast, right, But what we've done is like 0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:39.800 in single markets will say, hey, we're not we're not 0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:41.800 approving any of this, Like you can go package under 0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:43.680 something else. It's not coming out, it's not coming in 0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.960 our bag. Yeah, So it's hard. That's the only struggle 0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:49.000 is like we end up denying sometimes more than we accept. 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.920 That's to protect the brand. I mean, you can't just 0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.840 put bullshit out. What would be some advice, you know, 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.960 because I got to imagine from your perspective, right, you're 0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:01.640 you know, the one thing that I think makes you 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:03.360 different than a lot of rappers who are trying to 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.720 do the weed thing is like your genuine passion for 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.800 the whole process and not for just you know, if 0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:11.320 we think of a lot of these rappers, they're just 0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:14.360 trying to be you low key. Everybody wants their own cookies. 0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.720 But like you said earlier about Ross, a lot of 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.440 guys just want money now. They want to put they 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:22.480 want to say, hey, what's what's my money now? Looking 0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:24.680 like as opposed to trying to really build a brand. 0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:26.800 And I feel like so many rappers are just horing 0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.520 their name out now in the in the weed space. 0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:33.600 It's like kind of crazy. And even rappers that don't smoke, 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.000 Like a lot of rappers who do not smoke weed. 0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.160 And I'm not even talking about like shout out to 0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:41.120 jay Z not a big smoker, but Jay is a 0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:42.880 fucking boss, So i'd expect you to get into the 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:44.400 cannubs came. But there's a lot of rappers who are 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:46.320 participating in the weed culture right now that really have 0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:48.400 never been in the weed culture. Is that kind of 0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:50.680 frustrating for you to kind of I mean, it doesn't 0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:52.000 really matter at the end of the day, but is 0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:54.280 it not. I don't I don't even take it a 0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.000 certain type way the way I look at us like 0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:58.880 this Why do I do this still? Right, It's emotional 0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:01.520 and it's crazy a lot I'm take, probably taking years 0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:04.160 off my life from stress, but I do it because 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.960 I love it. I notice that weed really unites people. 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.360 It brings people together from every different walks of lix, 0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:13.760 whether you're old, young, gay, straight, fucking you know whatever. 0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:16.480 I've seen weed unite people all around the world. That's 0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:19.360 why I do it. Right. Two, I love weed. I'm 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:21.320 obsessed with I've been doing it for so long, so 0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.600 I guess I say to that to say I'm passionate 0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.480 about this shit. When you're passionate about something, you really 0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:29.120 live it, and you walk in and you understand why 0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:30.880 you're doing it. I don't think you can even worry 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:33.240 about no one else. So I welcome everyone getting in 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:35.040 the game. Will open arms, but I think that they'll 0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:37.560 burn themselves out because they might not really be passionate 0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:40.120 about it. You go to my studio session right now, 0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:43.040 there's forty two jars later on the table, all different 0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:45.440 names on them. I got a notepad next to those jars. 0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:47.920 I'm just smoking them, taking notes on what I like 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:50.480 and why I like it, and slowly putting them aside 0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:52.400 and picking which ones I'm gonna keep, which ones I'm 0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:54.880 gonna give away? And it's a fucking process. I love 0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:57.120 this shit. I do this shit, will I live, eat, 0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.640 and breathe this shit. So you know, the people that 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:01.960 are in the game that want to just get in 0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:04.000 to get in, I think they'll just burn themselves out. 0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:06.160 What would be some advice you would give someone watching 0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:07.960 this who is trying to get I'm not even talking 0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.600 about rappers, just in general, trying to get it into 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:13.239 the legal side of the weed games. Start from the 0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.719 ground up, like I did. Learn the business, Understand what 0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:17.640 you want to do and why you'll be impactful that 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:20.440 in that space, and work your way up. That's what 0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:22.719 I did. I mean I tell people all the time, 0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:24.000 if you want to get in the week game, go 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:28.800 work at the dispensary. Understand the consumer. Understand the vendor. 0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:33.280 Understand the grower. Understand the buttender, the pos system. Understand 0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:36.919 the butt tender, Understand how to merchandise. Understand everything before 0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:38.359 you get in. Decide what you want to do. Do Do 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.120 you want to be a designer, you want to be 0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:42.560 a grower, you want to be a store operator? Do 0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:44.280 you want to be do you want to build a brand, 0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:46.040 Like what do you want to do? I think building 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.000 a brand is a lot more difficult than people think. 0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:50.080 You can't just take a fucking T shirt, put your 0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.360 logo on it, put it back with your logo on it, 0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:54.440 and now you've got a brand. There's a lot deeper 0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:57.080 in that. Trust me, I'm aware and I think that, Like, 0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.040 if you go back to YouTube, I think the reason 0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.840 why Cookies residenting with peoples that documented every step of 0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:04.120 that process. So if you're going to build something, document it, 0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.120 because you can go see me pulling the strings to 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.879 my hoodies, you know, fifteen years, ten years ago, nine 0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.920 years on YouTube. On YouTube, you can see me making 0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:13.719 those hoodies, selling that shit. You can see me in 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.920 the dispensary way long ago. Right, Like I've documented every 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:19.239 process of it, so people resonate with it. They know 0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:22.400 it's real. It's crazy. You mentioned branding because like you have, 0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:24.000 I feel like you could write a book on how 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.799 to brand. I want to because I'm trying to get 0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:28.680 a book deal right now. Yeah, Because like if you 0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:31.920 think about the Cookies brand, the color the Cookies blue, 0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:36.200 just the logo, just everything is so two logos. You 0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:38.080 got the font which is on my hand. You got 0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.319 the circle see by if they ever say cookies can't 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.000 be used because it's you know, attracting children. Whatever they 0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.720 might use, you got the colorway if all else fails, 0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:47.920 Like I just came with a straight identity, Bro, And 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.000 I just I just learned it from watching, you know, 0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.400 watching the business I was in the dispenser. I know, 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:56.040 no one really had a real brand. It's like when 0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:58.640 you see that blue, you know what time it is? Yeah, 0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:00.640 what was the thought process behind that color? Because that 0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.560 color it sticks out, it's you know, it was the 0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:06.120 first hoodie I made, Bro for the Yoko video, Like, 0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:07.799 I just I was like, give me like a like 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:09.960 a different blue, like with the blue strings. Like I 0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:11.720 just wanted to do something that would pop on camera 0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:13.759 when I seen them, Like that's my colorway right there. 0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:16.759 How important was that record Yoko for you, man? Because 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:19.279 that was you know that record also went to radio right, 0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:21.239 and I think you had a bad going for that record. 0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.120 You had big grit Chris Brown Whiz Was that the 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:28.359 first record you and Wizard did? That was twenty ten, right, 0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:32.040 I think that that is the first Whiz Whiz song. Yeah, 0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:34.879 it was. It was a big record. For me, and 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:36.879 I think that like there's a story behind that shit 0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:40.360 that no one even knows about. Not just like the 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.520 making of the video was wild. Like when I did 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:46.400 that song, I ran into Chris Brown in the studio 0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:49.440 right he was there. I was smoking bud. His cousin 0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:51.160 smoked the bud. It was like, oh, shot, fuck, would 0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.799 you come eat? Brown got Brown in the video Back then. 0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:56.279 His manager was Tina David. She said all right, well 0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.200 he well we'll prove him doing the record. We cannot 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:03.839 do any video, like video is not happening whatever. So 0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:07.440 I got the record done with Big Crit Chris Brown. 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:10.600 Big Krit made the Beag shit was tech. I was like, 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.719 I gotta do a video for this. So I was 0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:15.560 getting that Brown's cousin he was like, look, if you 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:16.800 want to get Chris to come out, you got to 0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:19.600 bring something dope, Like he got Hello cars. He likes 0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:21.120 to drive his cars. Like, think of a way you 0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.400 can have him go. Provide an area for you know, 0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:25.319 for him to spin out in his cars or something like, 0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:27.000 come with something and I'll pitch it to him. Like 0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:29.360 all right, cool. So I was thinking, like maybe I 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.520 can get a race car track, and so I called 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.399 that NASCAR place in Irvine or or whatever the fuck 0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:37.279 this shit was. And I asked him how much it was, 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:38.440 and I said, well, what do you want to do? 0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:41.560 I said tomorrow. He's like, no, like, it's not happening. 0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:43.279 I'm like, okay, well how much is it? He's like, 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.160 well how much you got? Like I got fifteen hundred? 0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.880 He laughed at me. He's like, man, like, we wouldn't 0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:50.439 even run out of the parking lot for less than 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.840 fifteen g's and you want to use the fucking racetrack. 0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:55.000 I'm sorry, buddy, it's not happening.

Ever, I guess he 0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:19.000 went home and told her, this guy brought down the 0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.520 fucking race car drivers that did the video for Otis, 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.120 for jay Z and Conne. What this guy brought out 0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:27.120 fucking semi fucking eighteen wheel trucks. Spin it out in 0:39:27.120 --> 0:39:30.839 the video right straight? One hundred and fifty thousand dollars 0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:34.279 production value at least right let me do my thing there, 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:37.279 Brown pulled up. The energy was crazy. You see them 0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:40.560 carting around. Bro, I only spent five hundred dollars for 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:45.520 that shit. Bro on everything I love, on everything I 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:48.359 love right like that shit was crazy as fuck. And 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:53.120 then you see the scene where I'm driving the eighteen wheeler. Bro. 0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:55.600 I went to Atlanta and I went to every I 0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.360 went to every truck stop where all the truckers were resting, 0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:01.680 and knocked on fucking doors and had a thousand dollars 0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:03.759 and try to convince a driver let me drive his ship. 0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.319 They called the cops on me twice. I finally got 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.160 some cuddy Nigerian dudes like whatever, you got a thousand bucks, 0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:11.640 it's yours? Oh, you know how to drive? People don't 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:13.400 even know this I don't even know how to drive. 0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:17.279 I'm driving fucking car. Oh you don't drive, No, I 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:19.799 drive a boat. I don't drive no fucking car. So 0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:23.160 I was let alone a fucking semi. The guy was 0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:25.040 laying on the ground with his foot on the fucking 0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.080 gas holding the pedal. I'm sitting there riding on the 0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:30.440 fucking freeway, bro fucking riding this shit, rapping and the 0:40:30.480 --> 0:40:33.120 guy's sweating. Dude like, oh my god, sir, we're done. 0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:34.799 We're done. I'm like, no, no, not when we're seen, 0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:38.200 when we're seeing. So that video was hella crazy to me. 0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:41.200 It's hell important to me. Now. Atlantic Records put the 0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:43.840 season assists on it for whatever reason, which makes no 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:46.560 sense to me. So it's not available anymore. But it 0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:49.920 was big. I didn't that that. That's crazy. It's not 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:52.279 on YouTube, No it is, but it's not the one 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.200 I put up with all the millions of views. Someone 0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:55.879 like ripped it and put it on their own channel 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.560 or something. Yeah, that was, and that was prior to 0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:02.160 you being officially Tailor Gang. Well, it got it got pulled. 0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:04.160 It got pulled when I when I was with Taylor 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:07.560 Gang because some dude, I'm gonna say his name. Some 0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:09.600 dude took the song to try to do some license 0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:12.560 and deal with someone in fucking Europe, and the Atlanta 0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:15.920 got pissed and fucking pulled it. But you know whatever, Yeah, 0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:17.879 I was gonna ask you, like, you know, the era 0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.600 of Berner and Taylor gang like was a hell of 0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:24.040 a run. Like you know obviously you and Wizard always fan, 0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:27.520 you know what I'm saying, But like what, I guess 0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:30.400 what did having that code sign for do for you 0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:32.200 as a rapper? You know what I'm saying. Like, I 0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:34.200 just text Wiz this morning and thanked him, Bro. I 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:36.040 woke up this morning. I was just like, Bro, I 0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:38.840 love you guys when I met you. When I met Wiz, 0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:41.799 my mom and just died from cancer. Right, so I 0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:43.680 was in a dark place. I was trying to get 0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:45.400 away from the street ship because I was really like 0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:47.880 I was really fucking with that ship bro hard Like 0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:50.200 people don't even know and I don't really care. You 0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:52.080 talk about it a lot in your wraps. Yeah, so 0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.160 you know, just use your imagination when you hear that. 0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:56.160 But at that time, I was trying to figure out 0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.399 way because when my mom died, I was like, well, 0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:00.400 someone's got to be here from my daughter. If I 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:03.800 go away, who is that going to be? My Mom's 0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:06.879 gone now? So shit, it's me now. So I got 0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:09.239 to walk away from all that shit. And when I 0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:12.280 met Wiz, I was able to meet him and Taylor 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:16.080 Gang and see the more the morale of the crew 0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:18.120 and see the tour of us. And they took me 0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:19.480 on tour. I got to see what it looked like 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:21.360 to go state to stay and perform. It made me 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:23.920 step up my performance. Gang. They brought me in and 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:27.560 they embraced. You know, the side of my life that 0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:30.200 I love most is music. So I just text Biziness 0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:32.319 mar like, I love you, bro, thank you because when 0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:34.040 I met you, you you gave me a spark I needed 0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:36.799 to keep making music, which is my passion, because other 0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:39.160 than that, I might have just went dark in the street. Shit, 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:41.799 I might not be here right now. So yeah, I mean, 0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.239 without getting into too many details, like, was there ever 0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.200 a point in time where like the street ship almost 0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.959 ended up costing your freedom? Yeah, yeah, a big time. 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:52.600 I think that a lot of that ship will be 0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.040 told them in this series I'm doing right now, just 0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:58.439 announce the partnership with the creator of Snowfall. The writer, 0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:01.399 director from dnnd's and producer of Game of Thrones. We're 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:05.120 doing we're doing a scripted crime series about all about 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.799 pack shipping in Northern California's role in the week game, 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:09.440 and so a lot of them stories will be It's 0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:11.000 based on true man, so a lot of them stories 0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:14.160 will be in there. But yeah, definitely did bro. Yeah, 0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:16.560 it's crazy because if you think of like and obviously 0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.880 like you're you know, Northern California was kind of like 0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:21.680 the hub for everyone to go out there and get 0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:26.040 their plug and then send packs to the Midwest, to 0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:28.799 the South, to just every it comes to that Granddaddy 0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:31.799 purple on that og and that Bubba cushion, like just 0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:34.120 you know, even with the cookies and Gilado, I mean, 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.520 Nora cal really changed the game. Especially look at like 0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:40.600 what Humble County did before people knew it green Greenhouse 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.600 or outdoor was I mean, there's big margins, my boy, 0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.600 especially on the outdoor shit. Yeah, it was almost like 0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:48.719 Cooke funny bro like, because if you think about, like, 0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:50.839 you know, if you have like some great light dep 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:54.319 or some great green greenhouse that's on the East coast, 0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:57.120 it's loud at a certain point in time before people 0:43:57.200 --> 0:43:59.839 knew what greenhouse was. I was dog walking people. Bro 0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:04.560 margin game insane bro like. It was a nice time 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:07.160 and the game got changed. But yeah, it's different now, 0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:09.480 the margins. There was a period where people from the 0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:12.319 South didn't know the difference between indoor and outdoor, let 0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:14.719 alone indoor and greenhouse. They start figuring out out door 0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:17.560 because obviously it looks way different smells. Yeah, but the 0:44:17.760 --> 0:44:21.520 good depths and the good greenhouse would be so good sometimes. 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:27.120 Yeah that's still going on, Yeah, but not to the 0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:30.360 same I'm sure in your heyday it was man forty 0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:33.799 eight hundred for a pound of greenhouse. Boy, it was 0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:36.880 big Yo, it's crazy you mentioned Humble. I just watched this. 0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:42.799 Uh me and my wife watched this documentary on Hulu. No, 0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:46.480 it's it's it's it's on the big Foot, the Sasquatch. Yeah, yeah, 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:49.279 I forget what it's finding Sasquatch.

I congratulate them. 0:51:32.760 --> 0:51:35.720 They made it past like a very weird, gray, dangerous 0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:39.000 area and now they're in like a new area but era. 0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:41.800 But I think this is like timeless and it's history, 0:51:41.840 --> 0:51:43.480 and being a part of history is type Do you 0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:47.719 ever find it like frustrating that you can't be you know, 0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:51.280 I've talked to certain artists, uh, some from your hometown 0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:55.880 that are kind of like nonchalantly feel like there's some 0:51:55.960 --> 0:52:00.600 hate or some weirdo shit towards you.

Yeah, but but are you gonna eventually with 0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:05.040 the legalization of shrooms? Hell yeah, That's why we set 0:53:05.080 --> 0:53:08.040 it up already, Like we're doing what we can do legally. 0:53:08.160 --> 0:53:10.200 But I mean a lot of my partners on the 0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:13.719 cannabis side are mushroom enthusiasts, and they know a lot 0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:15.719 about mushrooms and they're fired up on it, and so 0:53:16.320 --> 0:53:18.600 we're just trying to make sure we're in position for 0:53:18.719 --> 0:53:20.600 when it comes. We're gonna that's a whole other side 0:53:20.600 --> 0:53:22.160 of the business. Yeah, I feel like that's like the 0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:24.759 future low Key. I just saw money Man post some 0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:27.400 ship on Twitter about shrooms like he's like, Yo, Perks 0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:31.319 and Zan's are dead wrapping.

Yeah, no, 0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:11.000 it's it's it's crazy because, like you said, the fentanyl ship, 0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:14.960 I feel like Fentanyl's like it's like low Key is 0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:17.279 big of an epidemic as COVID. Just people ain't talking 0:54:17.280 --> 0:54:19.759 about it like that because it's out there. You don't 0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:22.279 know what you're getting on, how pure it is, and 0:54:22.400 --> 0:54:25.080 fentanyl's killing a lot of people. It was. I don't 0:54:25.080 --> 0:54:27.160 know if you saw like in Venice, there was like 0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.520 a house with like four comedians. They left the comedy 0:54:29.520 --> 0:54:33.200 show and three out of four died doing coke. But 0:54:34.400 --> 0:54:35.880 you can't push it in your body right now if 0:54:35.880 --> 0:54:37.200 you don't know where it's coming from. You know what 0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:39.759 I mean, alternative plant medicine. Man, stick with the weeds, 0:54:39.760 --> 0:54:42.120 stick with the shroom, stick with you know, just stick 0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:44.520 with shit that's natural. Don't don't touch that ship. Yeah, 0:54:44.560 --> 0:54:46.759 and for people who don't know too like we like 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:49.040 you know, because a lot of the issue with getting 0:54:49.040 --> 0:54:51.920 off that ship is withdraws and ship. But you fucking 0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:57.359 dab away those withdraws straight up, like straight up, man, 0:54:58.400 --> 0:55:01.359 put the drugs down. Uh, you're you have a lot 0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:04.560 of interest in the alien shit. We did some shit 0:55:04.600 --> 0:55:06.319 on Clubhouse. We had like a little alien room on 0:55:06.360 --> 0:55:09.560 Clubhouse or in the pandemic. But like you also kind 0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:12.000 of have you know, you've got some conspiracies that you're 0:55:12.040 --> 0:55:15.040 tapped in with but what you know, I think that, 0:55:15.160 --> 0:55:19.840 like with the Obama admitting UFOs are real, I just 0:55:19.880 --> 0:55:23.280 feel like, because the world's so crazy right now because 0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:26.040 of Trump, because all COVID, because all this wild shit, 0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:29.960 they're like throwing shit out right now because they know 0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:31.920 it's not going to be the main story. They have 0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:33.839 to just cover the tracks. They're letting it come out 0:55:33.880 --> 0:55:36.319 and just get you know, overwhelmed with other ship. Yeah, 0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:38.279 because I feel like I feel like they're they're getting 0:55:38.280 --> 0:55:41.600 everyone ready for some shit low key. I mean, if 0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.680 we think that our government hasn't been to another planet yet, 0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:46.960 we're probably pretty crazy. If you ever go outside at 0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:49.160 night and just look up, look up there, and if 0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:51.160 you're in a clear area, like when I was in Montana, 0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:53.600 I would go on my boat at nighttime, midnight, one 0:55:53.640 --> 0:55:56.000 o'clock in the morning, float out to Middle Lake with 0:55:56.080 --> 0:55:58.080 no lights and just lay there and you see all 0:55:58.120 --> 0:56:01.160 these fucking stars and planets. You don't think there's some 0:56:01.200 --> 0:56:04.000 other ship up there, You're fucking lost. There's a hell 0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:06.839 other ship up there. And I think the I think 0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:10.400 Earth has just been burnt out, it's overpopulated. There's a 0:56:10.400 --> 0:56:11.960 lot of weird shit going on. There's a lot of 0:56:13.280 --> 0:56:15.279 there's a lot of control issues, and people want to 0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:17.320 be in power, Other countries want to be in power. 0:56:17.800 --> 0:56:20.120 I definitely feel like there's other other plans out there 0:56:20.160 --> 0:56:22.360 that we've been to or that we can go to. 0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:26.160 And that's why you see Bezos. I was gonna say, 0:56:26.160 --> 0:56:29.160 that's why I think you see these billionaires. They're gonna 0:56:29.160 --> 0:56:31.480 be the first people to leave, because I honestly feel 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:34.840 like the government's suppressed how easy it really might be 0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:36.520 to get up there right Like they're just telling you 0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:38.400 it's not possible. You gotta get this big rock and 0:56:38.480 --> 0:56:40.680 do this, And then how the fuck do we know 0:56:40.719 --> 0:56:42.920 that you look at you look at ship, and they say, 0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:45.560 it's this far it takes. That might all might all 0:56:45.600 --> 0:56:47.080 be some bullshit. You might be able to get in 0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:49.560 something and just get up. So I don't know, but 0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:52.839 I definitely know there's more people. There's more there's more 0:56:52.880 --> 0:56:55.160 species out there than just us. We're not we're not 0:56:55.200 --> 0:56:58.439 like the dominant species. We've been put here by something else. 0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:02.520 Our body is designed like a fucking computer. DNA's design 0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:05.920 like a fucking computer. It's not we didn't. We didn't 0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:09.279 just Germans didn't just fucking calculating design us like we 0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:12.239 were designed on purpose. So that's my thoughts. Do you 0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:17.400 have you ever had a UFO experience where you seen something? Yeah, yeah, 0:57:17.440 --> 0:57:21.320 I had a in Vegas. I was in Vegas randomly 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:26.640 at Molly Male's house. Yeah, legendary home. A lot of 0:57:26.640 --> 0:57:28.600 a lot of great stuff happened over there. But yeah, no, 0:57:28.640 --> 0:57:32.120 it's it's crazy because when I was growing up, my 0:57:32.240 --> 0:57:37.680 mom's uncle was like a og at NASA, og at NASA. 0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:40.880 So she went to Maryland to visit her her aunt 0:57:40.960 --> 0:57:43.360 and her aunt's husband who worked at NASA at the time. 0:57:43.400 --> 0:57:46.000 His name was Doc, and my mom asked him if 0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:49.640 aliens are real, and he said it he couldn't tell her, 0:57:50.280 --> 0:57:52.600 But if people knew what was in the ocean, a 0:57:52.600 --> 0:57:54.959 lot of people don't want to kill themselves. Yeah no, dude, 0:57:55.040 --> 0:57:57.560 I mean that's just stuck with me. One of my 0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:00.760 friends when I was growing up, his grandpa was the 0:58:00.880 --> 0:58:05.720 super super decorated war veteran and like very straight edge, 0:58:05.920 --> 0:58:09.920 very square like super like just legit. And when he 0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:14.320 was dying, he told my best friend man, just I 0:58:14.360 --> 0:58:17.880 had to keep this to my deathbed, Bud, there's definitely 0:58:17.920 --> 0:58:20.880 aliens out there. I've definitely seen things and you should 0:58:20.880 --> 0:58:22.479 know we're not alone and I just wanted to share 0:58:22.480 --> 0:58:24.200 it with you and that should just stuck with me too. 0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:26.560 But you guy, it's got to be realistic. Man, there's 0:58:26.600 --> 0:58:28.680 no way we're the only people out here. And I've 0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:31.920 been even thinking, like I've been really reading on lately, 0:58:32.000 --> 0:58:34.600 like life after death, like maybe this is just one 0:58:34.600 --> 0:58:37.680 big audition for like what happens next, Like look at 0:58:37.680 --> 0:58:40.800 my dogs sometimes, like this motherfucker's been here before. He 0:58:41.360 --> 0:58:43.600 was he's been here before, And I start geeking out 0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:45.560 on that, and I really I'm really into like what 0:58:45.640 --> 0:58:48.000 happens when you die? Type shit? Right now? Are you like, 0:58:48.520 --> 0:58:51.840 would you consider yourself religious? Nah? Because I'm not at 0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:55.200 all either. I'm borderline atheists. I'm borderline I don't know. 0:58:55.280 --> 0:58:57.320 I don't know. I get in trouble a lot when 0:58:57.360 --> 0:58:59.560 people ask me about religion. But I'll be straightforward. I 0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:01.840 believe that we were put here by something. If you 0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:05.439 look at religion, right, every single religion, whether it be 0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:08.240 whatever country, whatever religion it is, they all say that 0:59:08.280 --> 0:59:11.760 someone came from above, came down, taught them, and went 0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:16.480 back up. No fucking brainer. Yeah, I've always kind of been. 0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:18.720 A lot of that shit is man made. They all 0:59:18.760 --> 0:59:20.760 got the same themes for the most part. Some are 0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:23.520 a little feel like they all experienced the same thing. 0:59:23.640 --> 0:59:27.120 Someone came from above, taught them and went back up. 0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:31.000 What does that mean? I mean even like the hieroglyphics, 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:34.200 there's some wild hieroglyphics where it's like motherfuckers were bird, 0:59:34.560 --> 0:59:36.920 humans and all kinds of shit. So I like to 0:59:36.920 --> 0:59:38.960 get high, bro, When my day ins I have like 0:59:39.000 --> 0:59:41.680 an eighteen hour, nineteen hour workday, whatever fuck it is, 0:59:41.720 --> 0:59:44.280 I get home for the last few hours of my day, 0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:46.800 I just get high and I google as much as 0:59:46.800 --> 0:59:48.760 I can. You just did you die? You dive down 0:59:48.800 --> 0:59:52.240 some YouTube rabbit holes big time, especially in the last 0:59:52.240 --> 0:59:55.080 two years. Yeah, because you've had time. I got time. 0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:59.160 I got time. But besides smoking and you know, being 0:59:59.240 --> 1:00:04.160 a you know, fucking entrepreneur, fucking boss. Uh, what do 1:00:04.240 --> 1:00:06.640 you what are your you know, family life aside? What 1:00:06.720 --> 1:00:09.240 are you're like? You know, what's a good day for 1:00:09.280 --> 1:00:11.640 you hobby wise? Like if you had to wake up 1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:13.200 and just do whatever you wanted to do. You know, 1:00:14.040 --> 1:00:17.360 what are your hobbies? Man? Shit? Hobbies? Right now is 1:00:17.440 --> 1:00:20.840 just the film stuff which is still work. Like I 1:00:20.880 --> 1:00:23.400 did a comedy with a bass master shout to Homie D. 1:00:24.200 --> 1:00:26.120 We just freesed out that and we're about to put 1:00:26.120 --> 1:00:28.640 that out soon. I got a movie called Splash City, 1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:32.160 all about the bibbing in the Bay Area. I really 1:00:32.200 --> 1:00:34.960 want to bring to life, like northern California crime stories 1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:37.600 and like just northern California is on tap. Like if 1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:39.320 you really look at a lot of crime films or 1:00:39.400 --> 1:00:43.160 movies in general based on LA especially on a commercial 1:00:43.160 --> 1:00:45.960 worldwide level. Yeah, there's nothing out the Bay and I 1:00:46.000 --> 1:00:48.880 feel like that's my job, right. So my hobby now 1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:52.920 is just developing content barrier base like and it's fucked up. 1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:54.720 It's not really a hobby. I guess it's like work, 1:00:54.800 --> 1:00:57.760 but that's what I like to do. Yeah, So the 1:00:57.840 --> 1:01:02.040 show that you're developing with the Snowfall people, that's like 1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:04.520 a big deal. It's a really big deal. That's like 1:01:05.160 --> 1:01:08.160 that's not like some like independent like rap shit. Nah. 1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:10.360 But See, the thing is, like I also understand that 1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:12.800 that we're gonna raise like seventy to eighty million to 1:01:12.840 --> 1:01:15.040 do that project and it's gonna take time. So in 1:01:15.240 --> 1:01:17.600 between that, while developing that, I'm trying to not gout 1:01:17.600 --> 1:01:19.600 all of shit learned the game. Yeah, I'm trying to 1:01:19.640 --> 1:01:21.840 do like an independent like the Splash City. It's like 1:01:22.000 --> 1:01:25.560 me and a group called Four Ways Entertainment. They just 1:01:25.640 --> 1:01:28.280 want to They want a Latin film festival for the 1:01:28.480 --> 1:01:30.760 movie called Slipping in the Darkness. I just I appreciate 1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:33.320 their hustle, their work ethic. I locked in with them, like, 1:01:33.520 --> 1:01:35.600 come to the bay, let me write this movie. Let 1:01:35.600 --> 1:01:38.800 me directed with you. You guys execute it well, edited together, 1:01:38.840 --> 1:01:40.720 and I'll put it out so that that way, while 1:01:40.720 --> 1:01:43.280 I'm deloving this series, people start getting a sense of 1:01:43.320 --> 1:01:45.200 my style when it comes to film. Shit, everyone's got 1:01:45.200 --> 1:01:47.880 their own style. You gotta score Sazy you got you know, 1:01:48.000 --> 1:01:50.320 Spike Lee, you all the shit. Rob Zombie, he was 1:01:50.360 --> 1:01:53.200 an artist, He got his own style, got his own style. Yeah. 1:01:53.200 --> 1:01:55.800 My style is gritty, It's real gritty. I see a 1:01:55.840 --> 1:01:58.280 lot of these crime series on TV right now. Lot 1:01:58.280 --> 1:02:00.600 them are a little too pretty for me. Too pretty, 1:02:01.320 --> 1:02:04.880 they're too produced. Like let's bring some edgy shit back, 1:02:05.000 --> 1:02:08.280 Like Men's Society was so sick, dude. Oh yeah, yeah, 1:02:08.360 --> 1:02:11.280 raw as fuck, Like we need that ship back, bro. 1:02:11.440 --> 1:02:13.040 Some of this shit's too pretty, bro. I think The 1:02:13.120 --> 1:02:15.120 last show that really did that for me was The Wire. 1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:17.640 The Wire was great. I think the last show that 1:02:17.640 --> 1:02:19.960 did it for me was Breaking Bad, and Breaking Bad 1:02:20.040 --> 1:02:22.960 was ross. Fuck. It was good. It was produced, but 1:02:23.040 --> 1:02:25.640 it was good. It felt real. That's real. Do you 1:02:25.680 --> 1:02:31.720 watch better call Saul? Solid solid? But a perfect day 1:02:31.760 --> 1:02:34.919 for me would be wake up at six am, make 1:02:34.960 --> 1:02:38.120 my green juice or drinking green juice, work out, chill 1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:40.120 with the dogs, play on my phone till my shit 1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:43.400 starts bringing, get some work done, go to my daughter's 1:02:43.440 --> 1:02:47.040 volleyball game, watch her make some dinner for the kids, 1:02:48.160 --> 1:02:50.280 you know, watch a good couple of crime movies, and 1:02:50.320 --> 1:02:53.520 relax like that'd be my perfect day, not these hectic 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:57.000 days where it's just back to about calls like until 1:02:57.000 --> 1:03:00.200 I go to bed. Those days hurt, Like, yeah, the 1:03:00.240 --> 1:03:02.280 other day I had a day, bro, Like I started 1:03:02.360 --> 1:03:05.040 first call six thirty am. I got off at eleven pm, 1:03:05.320 --> 1:03:07.840 and I just felt like, what the fuck am I doing? Bro? 1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:10.760 You know my spread then there's too much going on. 1:03:10.840 --> 1:03:12.840 I just try to breathe and doting a chance to 1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:14.560 work out, doting a chance to chill with the fan. 1:03:14.680 --> 1:03:17.800 But the man is what it is. We're gonna have 1:03:17.800 --> 1:03:20.400 those kind of days. Man, you know, you're kind of 1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:22.560 you got like you're inside man, like you probably know 1:03:22.560 --> 1:03:24.120 more than most people is. They're like, like, what do 1:03:24.200 --> 1:03:27.840 you think the realistic chances are of weed coming off 1:03:27.840 --> 1:03:32.600 of the federal federal drug list? I should I want 1:03:32.640 --> 1:03:34.520 to say that it's gonna happen, because it'd be a 1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:36.600 great day for me, But I don't see it happening 1:03:36.680 --> 1:03:40.080 anytime soon. You don't think it's gonna happen because you 1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:42.320 think it because at the end of the day, if 1:03:42.920 --> 1:03:45.200 New York is finally on, you think it's just gonna 1:03:45.200 --> 1:03:47.200 have to be a state by state thing. It's gonna 1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:49.440 be gray for a long time. I think the Feds 1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:51.080 and the government wanted to figure out how to milk 1:03:51.120 --> 1:03:53.640 every single part of the business. And until they figure 1:03:53.680 --> 1:03:56.280 that out, they're not gonna do it. But Sleepy jo 1:03:56.280 --> 1:03:58.280 ain't gonna let that shit happen. Bro, That boy's tired 1:03:58.320 --> 1:04:00.800 of hell. You know, he's turning this trying to two 1:04:00.800 --> 1:04:02.600 point out right now. I'm not gonna lie. I voted 1:04:02.600 --> 1:04:07.560 for Joe Biden, Yeah, but man, I didn't vote this time. 1:04:08.800 --> 1:04:10.560 It was less than two evils for me. It was 1:04:10.640 --> 1:04:13.200 damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Damn Sleepy 1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:17.720 Joe is fucking fucking ship up right now, the entire 1:04:17.760 --> 1:04:19.600 bastards on the war path. But you know, it is 1:04:19.640 --> 1:04:23.160 what it is. I don't see his administration legalizing weeding. 1:04:23.440 --> 1:04:26.200 And what's crazy is they promised it. They promised it. 1:04:26.240 --> 1:04:28.640 That's their whole market that they was talking about, that 1:04:28.680 --> 1:04:31.560 ship and they ain't doing nothing. Yeah, no, it's it's 1:04:31.600 --> 1:04:34.000 it's bad, man. I don't know, you know what, Like 1:04:34.040 --> 1:04:35.800 you said, damned if you do, Damned if you don't. 1:04:35.880 --> 1:04:39.080 That boy a cup of coffee, man, Yeah, man, Yeah, 1:04:39.400 --> 1:04:41.320 have you guys ever liked done any like you know 1:04:42.080 --> 1:04:44.760 ship When we think of a cigarette companies do lobbyst ship? 1:04:44.800 --> 1:04:46.280 Have you guys ever done some lobby oft shiit? No, 1:04:46.400 --> 1:04:49.320 I don't trust that ship. Yeah, I'm gonna lobby myself. 1:04:49.520 --> 1:04:51.880 Is it weird though, because now all these corporate motherfuckers 1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:53.640 are like coming into the weed game, trying to buy 1:04:53.680 --> 1:04:55.800 out these companies, and and I feel like kind of 1:04:55.800 --> 1:04:57.880 fucking it up low key, Like I've talked to a 1:04:57.880 --> 1:05:01.640 bunch of them. I'm not doing that. If I ever exit, bro, 1:05:01.840 --> 1:05:04.200 if I ever exit, if there's ever a liquidity event 1:05:04.240 --> 1:05:08.200 for me. They understand there's like major major, major, major 1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:11.120 major protection of the brain and involved, like no one's 1:05:11.120 --> 1:05:13.240 down to do that. My goal is to pass this 1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:15.480 shit to my daughter, To be honest with you, I 1:05:15.560 --> 1:05:16.920 tease her all the time, you're about to be a 1:05:16.920 --> 1:05:19.360 little CEO. You better learn the game. And she already 1:05:19.400 --> 1:05:21.400 has a clothing line. Yeah, that's why I did that. 1:05:22.240 --> 1:05:25.640 She understands that's big. I never he knows. I don't 1:05:25.680 --> 1:05:28.440 really promote shit like that because I'm making her and 1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:30.280 make her figure out. You got to figure it out. 1:05:30.440 --> 1:05:32.560 How's it doing? It does cool? It could do a 1:05:32.640 --> 1:05:34.680 lot better, but and I'm sure if I post it 1:05:34.720 --> 1:05:36.520 every day and every drop, they probably do way better. 1:05:36.560 --> 1:05:38.400 But I want her to learn the struggles. I don't 1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:40.760 want to just give her everything. She's got to work 1:05:40.800 --> 1:05:43.080 for it. But like me and her bond by like 1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:45.920 designs and like we can flip a jacket like this, 1:05:46.080 --> 1:05:47.760 or you can do like this, or you can And 1:05:47.800 --> 1:05:49.520 she's really proud of her shit, and she wears it 1:05:49.600 --> 1:05:52.200 to school and I couldn't be more proud of her. 1:05:52.200 --> 1:05:54.000 But I wanted to learn that shit hands on. You 1:05:54.040 --> 1:05:57.800 know how was settling down for you? Because you know 1:05:58.480 --> 1:06:00.760 you you had your days. I was a wild boy. 1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:03.360 He was a wild boy. I was a wild boy. 1:06:03.560 --> 1:06:07.000 I was a wild boy. Settling down for me was good, Yeah, 1:06:07.040 --> 1:06:09.280 because I feel like, you know the you know, for 1:06:09.400 --> 1:06:11.400 me too, Like I was a wild boy. For sure. 1:06:11.720 --> 1:06:14.439 I was wild and I don't even know I was wild. 1:06:14.480 --> 1:06:16.960 But you know what though, like it feels so much 1:06:17.000 --> 1:06:18.640 better than not having to deal with that shit, like 1:06:18.720 --> 1:06:21.440 you know how it should be multiple girls and phones 1:06:21.480 --> 1:06:23.840 and hiding and this. I can't even think about doing 1:06:23.840 --> 1:06:26.040 that right now. Yeah, I think too, like once you've 1:06:26.080 --> 1:06:30.120 done everything, it's like, man, you like, there's almost only 1:06:30.160 --> 1:06:32.640 so much of that shit you could do. I did 1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:35.200 it all. I was a bartender before any of the shit. 1:06:35.280 --> 1:06:37.400 I remember that when I was working at the Hempston. 1:06:37.480 --> 1:06:39.760 I was a bartender at eighteen. You have to understand 1:06:39.760 --> 1:06:42.600 I did it all. I did it all right. It 1:06:42.680 --> 1:06:44.640 was amazing. I was young and my hair was slicked 1:06:44.680 --> 1:06:47.440 back of the skinny. Was incredible. But I think that 1:06:47.560 --> 1:06:51.400 settling down leveled up my business, yeah for sure, Like 1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:54.960 it took me from like hood rich to in a 1:06:54.960 --> 1:06:57.440 great place straight up. Yeah. I feel like since I 1:06:57.440 --> 1:07:00.480 got married to my wife, everything is improved. Shout out 1:07:00.480 --> 1:07:03.480 to our wives. Shout to the wife, because if I 1:07:03.600 --> 1:07:05.840 wasn't if I wasn't able to go to like when 1:07:05.840 --> 1:07:08.040 I'm here working or if I'm traveling, if I didn't 1:07:08.040 --> 1:07:10.320 know that my household was good, and then my daughter 1:07:10.440 --> 1:07:13.320 was straight when she's at my house. Because my daughter's 1:07:13.360 --> 1:07:16.400 been in the household with my wife now for like 1:07:16.440 --> 1:07:18.120 five days and she hasn't even went back to her 1:07:18.120 --> 1:07:20.920 mom's house, you know. So it's it's perfect because I 1:07:20.920 --> 1:07:23.400 know I have a solid household and that ship does 1:07:23.560 --> 1:07:25.680 numbers for your mentally. Yeah, when you're gone, you know 1:07:25.720 --> 1:07:28.280 everything's handled. Yeah. Yeah, Now the same thing with my wife. 1:07:28.320 --> 1:07:30.120 I'm like, yo, I could be in Miami for a 1:07:30.120 --> 1:07:31.480 whole week and I know I don't got to worry 1:07:31.480 --> 1:07:33.200 about it. I get yelled at for not cleaning now 1:07:33.200 --> 1:07:35.000 and that, you know, here and then, but at the 1:07:35.080 --> 1:07:36.760 end of the day, settling down made me like a 1:07:36.920 --> 1:07:39.160 very successful business guy. I see a lot of my 1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:40.760 friends caught up with hell of girls and shit, that's 1:07:40.760 --> 1:07:42.560 shit's ass backwards. If you want to get to the bag, 1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:45.720 have a wife. Hey, that's a bar. If you want 1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:47.440 to get to the bag, have a wife straight up 1:07:47.480 --> 1:07:52.480 and happy wife, happy life. Fucking facts, fucking facts. Have 1:07:52.600 --> 1:07:55.600 you considered. I know you you mentioned Montana earlier, but 1:07:55.680 --> 1:08:00.840 if you consider like switching your primary residency out of California, Yeah, 1:08:00.880 --> 1:08:03.800 but I just don't know where I would go. You know, 1:08:03.840 --> 1:08:05.920 a lot of people in my position because you have 1:08:05.960 --> 1:08:08.680 to think, like if I stole my business with the 1:08:08.720 --> 1:08:11.600 new body and administration's laws, like I probably have to 1:08:11.600 --> 1:08:14.040 give sixty eight percent. I think it's sixty eight percent 1:08:14.120 --> 1:08:17.960 federal something crazy. I don't know. I don't know. I 1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:20.639 would end up keeping like fifteen percent of my business profits, 1:08:20.760 --> 1:08:23.200 right like, So, I don't know. I can't do Miami. 1:08:23.240 --> 1:08:26.120 Miami is too humid humid. Vegas is kind of like 1:08:26.160 --> 1:08:30.000 too dry for me Vegas though, those are the two 1:08:30.120 --> 1:08:32.559 like places where you stay. Tax Yeah, you could really 1:08:32.600 --> 1:08:35.320 save money. And if you really wanted to be a savage, 1:08:35.360 --> 1:08:37.400 you can go to Puerto Rico. It's no federal tax. 1:08:38.080 --> 1:08:40.360 That's fucking wild. So you can get one hundred million 1:08:40.400 --> 1:08:43.400 dollar check, go to Puerto Rico, lived there for three years, 1:08:43.400 --> 1:08:47.360 and all that money's yours. I think that's uh, Logan 1:08:47.439 --> 1:08:50.960 Paul just relocated to Puerto Rico, King did I But 1:08:51.120 --> 1:08:54.479 the way I look at like this, bro, I just 1:08:54.479 --> 1:08:55.880 want to be where I want to be. I'm not 1:08:55.880 --> 1:08:58.240 going to go hide somewhere for my years. I just 1:08:59.360 --> 1:09:01.080 Vegas bad. You know, I used to live in Vegas. 1:09:01.120 --> 1:09:03.120 I know this is cool. It's hot, though, bros. Dry 1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.479 I mean you lived in Arizona. I did.

And that was because 1:09:15.240 --> 1:09:17.160 your mom was out there. Yeah, my dad was supposed 1:09:17.200 --> 1:09:19.160 to open a restaurant out there, so and there was 1:09:19.400 --> 1:09:21.960 cheap housing and so we went to a move over there, 1:09:22.000 --> 1:09:23.760 and then my pops got caught up with some shit, 1:09:23.880 --> 1:09:25.960 cheating and whatnot. So we stayed in California and my 1:09:26.000 --> 1:09:27.920 mom stayed there. And I just bounced back and forth 1:09:28.280 --> 1:09:31.400 and uh, what part of of asy were you in 1:09:31.479 --> 1:09:34.280 Chandler or you were in the Chandler.

It was just part 1:11:11.680 --> 1:11:14.400 of the culture. And the bartender lifestyle is very shady, 1:11:14.960 --> 1:11:18.760 very dirty lifestyles. Just coke, coke, coke, liquor. And I 1:11:18.840 --> 1:11:20.360 was finally one day, I was like, I can't do 1:11:20.439 --> 1:11:22.439 this shit. No mom over this shit, dude.

Yeah, it's a great one. 1:12:04.320 --> 1:12:06.840 I've never done cocaine, but I know that the people 1:12:06.840 --> 1:12:08.679 who I know, who I'm still close with, that's their 1:12:08.720 --> 1:12:10.599 thing is they get drunk and they do coke. Yeah, 1:12:10.640 --> 1:12:13.559 because you could just keep going. Yeah, but I'm glad 1:12:13.600 --> 1:12:16.519 I stopped that shit.

Like you take some of this gin and lemonade, yeah, 1:12:56.560 --> 1:12:58.240 or just some of this is queen, just take this 1:12:58.400 --> 1:13:01.840 gin straight. Yeah. I don't understand that about Whiz is 1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:07.080 that they like Jen is disgusting by itself. He did 1:13:07.920 --> 1:13:11.040 bombay and lemonade. That's a good mixed drink, but by itself, 1:13:11.080 --> 1:13:14.840 it's like drinking gasoline. Bro. Fuck that it's it's it's 1:13:14.880 --> 1:13:16.720 it's horrible. Was there ever a point in time where 1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:18.559 you had an opportunity to maybe do something on the 1:13:18.560 --> 1:13:20.320 major label side where you just kind of kept kept 1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:21.920 it moving because I know you know you've been you've 1:13:21.960 --> 1:13:24.439 been doing the distro with Empires, since I really feel 1:13:24.439 --> 1:13:28.240 like since Empire was ever even a thing. Fuck major labels, Dude, 1:13:28.280 --> 1:13:30.320 they never understood me. They never wanted to take the 1:13:30.360 --> 1:13:32.799 time to understand me. It's probably their biggest mistake because 1:13:33.520 --> 1:13:34.920 I mean they probably would have had a piece of 1:13:34.920 --> 1:13:37.920 everything I'm doing now. So I sat down with a 1:13:37.920 --> 1:13:40.880 couple and they just did not understand me. They never did. 1:13:41.560 --> 1:13:44.360 How early on were did you link with Ghazi for 1:13:44.760 --> 1:13:46.920 two thousand and six? Two thousand and five or six? 1:13:47.120 --> 1:13:49.760 Was that when he was rapping m Now he was 1:13:49.800 --> 1:13:53.679 at Ingrows Okay, yeah, yeah, so he left INgrooves started Empire, 1:13:53.920 --> 1:13:56.080 and so from the rip where you just doing distro 1:13:56.160 --> 1:13:58.040 through his company, now was the Ingrous And one day 1:13:58.040 --> 1:13:59.720 he told me, Yo, I moved the catalog over to 1:13:59.720 --> 1:14:01.599 my new company. I'm like, what the fuck are you 1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:03.679 talking about? Bro? I would like it. Now you're gonna 1:14:03.680 --> 1:14:05.840 get the same check. I'm gonna give you a better split, 1:14:06.000 --> 1:14:07.839 just trust me. And I was one of his first lines. 1:14:08.400 --> 1:14:11.120 And yeah, and it's you know, I always tell people 1:14:11.160 --> 1:14:15.760 like Empires the shit check comes every month. First I 1:14:15.840 --> 1:14:18.000 tell some of these major label artists how much I 1:14:18.000 --> 1:14:20.080 get for iTunes checks and the like what fuck are 1:14:20.120 --> 1:14:23.280 you serious? Well, they're idiots. They signed all their leverage away. 1:14:23.360 --> 1:14:25.719 They fucking a lot of these major artists they signed 1:14:25.760 --> 1:14:27.920 too early. I feel bad because when I tell them 1:14:27.920 --> 1:14:30.639 how much I get from just my empire check alone, 1:14:30.760 --> 1:14:34.519 you could see their eyes like what well, because most 1:14:34.880 --> 1:14:37.959 artists aren't getting any money, don't get anything. They're literally 1:14:38.160 --> 1:14:40.760 they got to make their advance last because they're not 1:14:40.800 --> 1:14:43.599 going to ever recoup, you know. Uh. We did an 1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:46.040 interview with YG a couple of years maybe like middle 1:14:46.040 --> 1:14:48.559 of the pandemic. He was like, I've never seen any 1:14:48.600 --> 1:14:51.000 money off my depth. Jam shit. He's one of the 1:14:51.000 --> 1:14:54.080 dopest guys ever. That's he's the best, terrible and at 1:14:54.080 --> 1:14:55.920 the time he was like on some fuck death jam shit. 1:14:56.000 --> 1:14:59.479 But like, it's crazy because that story is happens a lot. 1:15:00.040 --> 1:15:02.519 If someone didn't give you some money up front, it's 1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:05.920 probably a bunch of bullshit comes with it a thousand 1:15:06.000 --> 1:15:08.639 the way I did. Yeah, I always tell everybody, man, 1:15:08.720 --> 1:15:11.640 don't take the bigger the advance. You better make it 1:15:11.640 --> 1:15:13.559 the longer. You got to make it last. It kept 1:15:13.560 --> 1:15:16.200 a certain hunger inside me too. I like being the underdog. 1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:23.200 That's what's your favorite Burner album. Like, you just said 1:15:23.200 --> 1:15:24.640 you're working on your best album yet. I've heard you 1:15:24.640 --> 1:15:26.160 say that almost every time you put an album out. 1:15:26.200 --> 1:15:30.720 But what's your favorite ever? Um? Fuck, dude, They're they're 1:15:30.760 --> 1:15:33.280 like journals, dude, I don't know. I mean, I think 1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:35.679 the White album. I think Drugstore Cowboy is a good one. 1:15:36.200 --> 1:15:38.760 I think the White Album was really really good too. 1:15:40.160 --> 1:15:41.479 But the reason why I say this is the best 1:15:41.520 --> 1:15:44.400 album I've done now is because I got Cosmo producing it. 1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:47.920 It's my best friend. We work great together. You guys 1:15:47.920 --> 1:15:50.000 just did a collap album. Yeah, And I really leveled 1:15:50.000 --> 1:15:51.719 them up on the way that we're doing the production 1:15:51.800 --> 1:15:53.679 of the project. I gave him free range, like instead 1:15:53.720 --> 1:15:54.880 of me just being in the studio like send me 1:15:54.920 --> 1:15:56.880 a beat them out of the rap, Like we're just 1:15:56.920 --> 1:15:59.840 spending ten days on just producing this thing and then 1:16:00.000 --> 1:16:02.360 IM gonna take that production come back you know on 1:16:02.920 --> 1:16:05.000 five days, six days from now, and then really just 1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:08.000 dive into like recording. So I like this body work 1:16:08.040 --> 1:16:11.000 as we're actually really doing it, like from scratch, yeah, 1:16:11.320 --> 1:16:14.200 from the red samples. I'm not getting sued anymore. People 1:16:14.200 --> 1:16:17.200 playing guitars, people doing vocals, Like it's really cool. You 1:16:17.240 --> 1:16:22.599 had like an era with al Chievo where you were 1:16:22.880 --> 1:16:26.240 diving a lot into collaborating with Latin artists, and I 1:16:26.280 --> 1:16:27.800 know that you had kind of flirted with the idea 1:16:27.800 --> 1:16:31.960 of maybe doing an album with Dell Records. Yeah, I 1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:35.360 mean the record is incredible. Shout out to Chris. I 1:16:35.439 --> 1:16:38.400 think I think I was DJing one of your shows. 1:16:38.439 --> 1:16:41.160 I think it was in Vegas at hard Rock, and 1:16:41.240 --> 1:16:45.360 Chris came out and saying and yeah, but that was, like, 1:16:45.640 --> 1:16:47.920 what did you learn from kind of dabbling in that 1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:50.799 side of the game, because the Latin shit is crazy. 1:16:50.800 --> 1:16:53.000 I just was in the Latin billboards for a whole 1:16:53.000 --> 1:16:55.000 week because my artist is Mexicans, so we were out there. 1:16:55.200 --> 1:16:57.439 I just learned a different world, the world out there. 1:16:57.479 --> 1:16:59.519 And I think what we did with Del Chivo Records, 1:16:59.520 --> 1:17:02.519 we took pop in their traditional like style of making 1:17:02.600 --> 1:17:04.759 music and combineded it and it was like the first 1:17:05.400 --> 1:17:08.400 of that kind, Like we flipped the knas beat dude. You, 1:17:08.560 --> 1:17:10.320 I mean, like we flipped the old NAS record and 1:17:11.000 --> 1:17:12.680 we did it like that. And so I think that 1:17:12.720 --> 1:17:14.840 no one's really tried. And I kept to what I do. 1:17:14.960 --> 1:17:17.000 I wrapped in English, he sang in Spanish and it 1:17:17.040 --> 1:17:20.000 was a great natural combination of music. And I mean 1:17:20.040 --> 1:17:21.400 I would love to sit down with them and do 1:17:21.400 --> 1:17:23.040 a project with them. I'm down and do an album 1:17:23.040 --> 1:17:25.960 with him for sure, and produce everything live and documented. 1:17:26.000 --> 1:17:27.639 Like that's kind of shit. That would be fun because 1:17:27.640 --> 1:17:28.680 you were like starting to work with a lot of 1:17:28.760 --> 1:17:33.080 Latin artists, obviously Azuna I tried. I tried it with Laplaza. 1:17:33.160 --> 1:17:35.680 I tried it, but like it's just it's tough, man, Like, 1:17:35.720 --> 1:17:38.960 it's just music is tough, like people. People enjoyed it, 1:17:39.000 --> 1:17:41.599 and music actually was really good, but my core fan 1:17:41.640 --> 1:17:44.479 base complained a little bit. So it's tough to dill 1:17:44.640 --> 1:17:48.519 that in. You know, what was it like working with 1:17:48.640 --> 1:17:52.519 Nipsey on the wax Room and like best rest and 1:17:52.560 --> 1:17:54.920 peace of Nipsy. I mean, I made the record. I'm 1:17:54.920 --> 1:17:57.200 gonna tell this story. I never really told this story either. 1:17:57.600 --> 1:18:00.240 I made the record, I hit up Nipsey. Me and 1:18:00.320 --> 1:18:03.360 Nipsey talked a lot and DM and Nipsey's the one rapper, 1:18:03.479 --> 1:18:05.960 one of the only rappers that respected me as a musician. 1:18:06.600 --> 1:18:09.559 He respected my music. He gave me my props all 1:18:09.600 --> 1:18:12.000 the time on the music. I talked a lot with 1:18:12.080 --> 1:18:15.080 him in the DM and you know, text back and forth, 1:18:15.120 --> 1:18:16.600 and so I hit him. I was like, yeah, I 1:18:16.640 --> 1:18:20.280 got this record. He's like, pull up, shit hopped an uber, 1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:24.559 pulled up by myself. His studio was Hella Deep, Hello, Hello, 1:18:24.760 --> 1:18:27.920 Hello homies. They're all so welcomed into me star Blaze. 1:18:27.920 --> 1:18:31.080 And he won the booth. He did his vocals, killed it, 1:18:31.360 --> 1:18:33.479 gave me the session. I went right back to my studio, 1:18:33.600 --> 1:18:36.080 mixed it, and then we came time for the video. 1:18:37.000 --> 1:18:39.320 I came out to La to do the video and 1:18:39.360 --> 1:18:41.519 he didn't he. I was blown over he didn't show up. 1:18:41.840 --> 1:18:43.920 I was like fucking faith on me. I was blowing 1:18:44.000 --> 1:18:45.960 him up. I'm like, you know what, fuck it, it's cool. 1:18:46.360 --> 1:18:48.040 And the next day he hit me like my bad bro, 1:18:48.160 --> 1:18:50.360 was done with some shit, like some real shit. But 1:18:50.439 --> 1:18:52.320 I got you. Send the camera guy to me and 1:18:52.439 --> 1:18:54.479 knocked that out for you. I'll take care of it. 1:18:54.479 --> 1:18:56.439 I'll pay him too. I got you. I'm like, nah, man, 1:18:56.520 --> 1:18:59.240 you sure.

Bro, Like I give that 1:19:04.400 --> 1:19:06.439 guy so much respect on what kind of person he was, 1:19:06.479 --> 1:19:09.519 what kind of business guy? He was, so he showed 1:19:09.520 --> 1:19:11.600 me a lot of love. Yeah. I think like he 1:19:12.000 --> 1:19:13.920 also too, like with you know the way you're kind 1:19:13.960 --> 1:19:16.160 of showing people, there's there's a whole other way you 1:19:16.200 --> 1:19:18.680 could go with this shit. He did a good job 1:19:18.720 --> 1:19:20.720 of showing people the same way. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, No, 1:19:20.880 --> 1:19:23.400 I mean, dude, just fucked. That guy's the best. I think. 1:19:23.439 --> 1:19:25.000 The last time I talked to him, he told me 1:19:25.439 --> 1:19:27.720 you did for the word cookies what doctor J did 1:19:27.760 --> 1:19:30.040 for the word chronic.

Uh? 1:22:50.560 --> 1:22:52.360 Because you you know, you hit the road, you do 1:22:52.400 --> 1:22:56.760 your your yearly shows. Is it hard for you to 1:22:56.760 --> 1:22:58.680 step out and hit that stage with what's going on 1:22:58.800 --> 1:23:00.599 right now? Like as far as you like getting over 1:23:00.640 --> 1:23:03.000 that mental blockade that like ship, there's a thousand people 1:23:03.040 --> 1:23:04.160 in front of me. I don't know if they got 1:23:04.400 --> 1:23:07.360 COVID or not. Well, we just I mean all you 1:23:07.360 --> 1:23:09.759 can do right now, and yeah, no it is fucking scary. 1:23:09.800 --> 1:23:11.120 I mean all you can do is keep your immune 1:23:11.160 --> 1:23:14.479 system strong, you know, keep your backstage clean, test everyone 1:23:14.560 --> 1:23:17.360 that's coming backstage with you, and roll the dice. Man, 1:23:17.400 --> 1:23:19.519 if I got a showing Oklahoma coming up, the motherfuckers 1:23:19.560 --> 1:23:22.160 told me it was outside indoors. I'm like, God, damn it. 1:23:22.640 --> 1:23:24.160 You know what I mean? But it is what it is. Man, 1:23:24.160 --> 1:23:26.720 Like I get high from the crowd. So what's your 1:23:27.400 --> 1:23:30.120 You have some crazy fans. One in particular I remember 1:23:30.280 --> 1:23:33.360 was a guy in Tucson, Arizona, had a portrait of you, 1:23:33.439 --> 1:23:34.960 the fat dude. He had a portrait of you and 1:23:35.040 --> 1:23:37.160 his fucking belly. I love that guy, you know what 1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:38.960 I'm talking about? And where's that send? That guy is 1:23:39.080 --> 1:23:42.000 roast man. This guy's got a burner portrait on his 1:23:42.120 --> 1:23:44.519 belly with the Cookies logo underneath of it, like it's 1:23:44.600 --> 1:23:47.559 Tupac Thug life. Yeah. And I was, I was DJing 1:23:47.600 --> 1:23:48.960 the show and I look in the crowd. This guy 1:23:49.120 --> 1:23:53.200 fucking showed me. I was like, oh, this is different. 1:23:53.560 --> 1:23:55.599 You know what's tired about that ship? Bro? What's tied 1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:58.120 about is I know deep downside, if you know, God 1:23:58.160 --> 1:24:00.960 forbid something happens to me. Broma lived for long time, bro, like, 1:24:01.360 --> 1:24:03.360 and I did that off like staying true to like 1:24:03.439 --> 1:24:06.479 what I wanted to do, like dough cookies, dough vibes 1:24:06.520 --> 1:24:08.760 and music. I got a place here for a while. 1:24:08.840 --> 1:24:10.920 So it's tight to see that because that she ain't 1:24:10.920 --> 1:24:13.839 going nowhere. Homi's gonna have that forever. He's a grandpa 1:24:13.880 --> 1:24:16.640 and she's gonna have that right here. Who's that? Oh? 1:24:16.680 --> 1:24:19.840 This this guy this is you know, it's a good accomplishment, man, Like, 1:24:20.360 --> 1:24:22.840 people got that ship tattooed all over the world. My 1:24:23.000 --> 1:24:27.920 logo this nation's compliment. You talk about vibes, I know 1:24:28.000 --> 1:24:30.800 you and the guy from Raw Papers went at it 1:24:31.400 --> 1:24:34.960 for a while. What happened there. He's a homie now, dude. 1:24:35.120 --> 1:24:37.400 You and Josh worked it out. Yeah, he's a homie now. 1:24:37.640 --> 1:24:40.719 So because it was it was pretty contentious for a while. 1:24:40.880 --> 1:24:44.280 I know, literally I literally kind of stopped following dude. Yeah, 1:24:45.200 --> 1:24:48.160 you know, at the end of the day, bro, I 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:51.640 think that just like business is emotional, that that category, 1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:55.360 that rolling paper category is very small, bro, and he's 1:24:55.400 --> 1:24:58.560 had his, he's had his is very political. Yeah, I 1:24:58.640 --> 1:25:02.640 think that, Like, I think he expected me to just 1:25:02.880 --> 1:25:07.640 not go do something in that space, and we just 1:25:07.680 --> 1:25:10.320 recently we started talking again and I got major. I 1:25:10.320 --> 1:25:12.479 always say in the interviews too, he is the paper, 1:25:12.640 --> 1:25:15.920 don He's the one that he's the boss of the 1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:18.920 paper game. Doesn't mean that I can't do my thing too. 1:25:19.000 --> 1:25:20.600 So I think we're in a good position now to 1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:22.960 where he respects what I'm doing and I respect him. 1:25:23.160 --> 1:25:25.360 I always respect him. Well, you guys had a relationship 1:25:25.400 --> 1:25:28.719 prior to you launching Vice. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, he's cool. 1:25:29.120 --> 1:25:31.240 He's a business mogul. Bro. At the end of the day, 1:25:31.280 --> 1:25:33.960 like I look up to the kind of business he's accomplished. 1:25:34.000 --> 1:25:36.280 So it's like I respect him. Now. We had a 1:25:36.320 --> 1:25:38.040 falling out and I reacted the way it did, and 1:25:38.080 --> 1:25:39.920 he reacted the way he did towards me. But I 1:25:39.920 --> 1:25:44.240 think all that time went past and let bygones be 1:25:44.280 --> 1:25:45.880 by gone, and it's not like either of you guys 1:25:45.880 --> 1:25:48.599 lost respect for each other. Nah, Bro, I think he respects. 1:25:48.600 --> 1:25:50.439 I think that I've leveled up a lot since that 1:25:50.479 --> 1:25:52.880 falling out and he respects where I'm at now. Has 1:25:52.920 --> 1:25:55.000 the paper business been the most challenging thing you've done? 1:25:55.040 --> 1:25:57.240 Because it feels like, like you said, it's a very 1:25:57.400 --> 1:25:59.960 like interesting business. I'm sure at first, Yeah, at first 1:26:00.120 --> 1:26:02.360 it was challenging, Bro, because there was a lot of roadblocks. 1:26:02.479 --> 1:26:04.360 You know, was it from him or was it from 1:26:04.360 --> 1:26:08.040 people other competitors. I'm sure it was. But now we 1:26:08.160 --> 1:26:10.800 got this in chokehold is the wrap? Yeah, because like 1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:15.200 I see, I see it myself now. Vibes is like everywhere, bro, like, 1:26:15.240 --> 1:26:17.599 and we're doing cool products like the Cali Like that's 1:26:17.680 --> 1:26:20.040 innovative as fuck, Like the first person to launch like 1:26:20.040 --> 1:26:24.080 a cylinder style you know, product where you could just 1:26:24.080 --> 1:26:26.800 stuff it and blaze it. Yeah, a cone and cone's cool. 1:26:27.120 --> 1:26:28.640 The cone don't really hit like that, you know what 1:26:28.640 --> 1:26:31.559 I mean so, I mean, I'm fired up. We're doing 1:26:31.560 --> 1:26:33.479 cool things like the Cabano, the Cali. We got a 1:26:33.479 --> 1:26:35.200 lot of things coming up. Which one is the red?
