Like I find 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.360 my fun and my excitement in the day is you know, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.840 creating a new song or just being around music and 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.960 being in the studio. So it's like, you know, it 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.560 definitely come easy for you, But lately it ain't becoming 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.960 easy for me. Man. Honestly, I've been having like some 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.320 kind of like writers block or just not I don't 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.280 know if it's just writer's block or is it just 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.119 like you know what I'm saying, It's like I'm kind 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.760 of getting bored with this whole shit kind of I 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.000 needed a new challenge. So that's why I started this 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.920 drum work ship. I needed to do find something else 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:18.000 to challenge myself and push myself, you know, to to 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.640 just keep killing shit. Man. And so I haven't been 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.880 recording to answer you a question, and been kind of 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.080 like it ain't been easy. Like the last shit I 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:31.080 recorded before I started working on this tape, was I 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:36.440 want to sing the Stefan Diggs song off the from 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.920 King to a God Deluxe.

I haven't been really been doing nothing, 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.200 you know, here and there sporadically, but I ain't really 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.920 been really into it all like that. Like I've been 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.640 just kind of chilling and kind of like you know, 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.640 trying to you know, uh, detach myself from music. I 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.040 hadn't really been listening to music and none of that shit. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.919 I like that, Like I just did you find it 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.880 that kind of TV?

I need a battery in 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.280 my back to just you know, to just strive for more. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.680 And that's what I'm always striving for to be better 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.480 every day kind of like I feel like it's like 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.920 Tom Brady type shit, right, Like I feel like Tom Brady, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.960 it's so much juice from everyone every year talking about 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.120 he's falling off or whatever the fuck, Like it's really 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.800 some sports type shit, like some of the grades like 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.800 are when they're doubted or second guest, that's how they 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.720 that's how they perform best, you know what I'm saying, right, See, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:24.880 like you know, having six like like fear of not 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:29.280 making it and not taking them there drove me. It 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.520 drives me more than you know, because if like I 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.240 don't want to let people down. I don't want to 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.040 let myself down. I don't want to let my niggas down, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.559 my family down, my son's down. So it's like I 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:48.120 kind of like people just not you know, in my 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.440 mind giving me my flowers or just like you know, 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:57.559 respecting this shit like it make me go even crazier. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.240 So you said earlier you were like, yo, I like 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.240 obsessed because I want it all. I want to be 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.920 considered in those conversations, right, So I feel like that's 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.480 almost and you say you also pay attention to everything, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.840 So I feel like if you pay attention to everything. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.360 It'd be kind of hard for you to like come 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.840 to peace with like because no one, not everyone's gonna 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.640 feel like you are in their top five or whatever, 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.680 you know what I mean. So it could either drive 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.560 you crazy, you could always you know what I'm saying, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.880 or it could keep fuel with you, you know what 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.840 I mean, because even that's I mean, you know, not 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.920 to cut you off. But that's that's the that's actually 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:41.280 the fun part because you're knowing like nobody's in everybody's 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.120 top five, right, It's not no rap niggas. That's really 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.559 like you could go across as about fifty niggas in 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.280 this room, like you you can go ask any of them. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.760 The top five is going to be all be different, Yeah, 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.960 And that's just like it is what it is. Man. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.960 Everybody ain't gonna like the same restaurant. Everybody ain't gonna 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.800 like the same that's Lebronic gonna be the best and 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:06.079 everybody's top five Jordan ain't gonna be the right. Like 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.560 it is what it is. But that's the ship. Like 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.880 what if I could get to a point to where 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.880 you're that body you ask It's like, Yo, Conway is 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:22.040 the best so that's what you're striving for that up 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:26.520 that night. I mean, and look if you put if 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.640 you can pull that ship off, if you could pull 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.840 that ship off, then you pull something nobody's put off. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.719 You know what I mean exactly, because then that's the 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.800 undisputed exactly. You know what I'm saying because there because YO, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.559 think about what we were talking about Jordan. I don't 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.679 think you'll find anyone who would ever not have Jordan 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.160 in their top five and the top five, right, like 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.280 what it gets a point where like subjects like Lebron 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.480 No, no no, no, I think I think, but I think 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.560 I think when we're talking about top five, you you 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.199 would be hard pressed to find anybody who knows anything 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.280 about basketball say that Jordan wasn't in their top five. Now, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.160 you might find some people who said Lebron wasn't, but 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:11.800 those are their haters. What's your Lebron thoughts? Okay, I 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.240 just gotta make sure I didn't say hater because they 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.400 don't got Bron the top live because something like the 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.800 NBA as well as like Rapman, there's so many incredible Yeah, 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.880 for sure, I'll be thinking all the time, like, yeah, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.280 how many players don't get like Devin Booker and Dame 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.080 Lillard and all these guys that we don't they don't 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.880 even get to love that they deserve because they're playing 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.320 at the same time as Steph Curry and and Johannis 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.000 and you know, James Harden and Ship, like that's a 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:45.160 real ship.

You went in on that ship, man, 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.840 And he's also someone who's fucking incredible tality. That's my nigga. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.400 I don't want to let niggas down, man, because you 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.880 know what they're coming to you for, like yo, like 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.520 you know what I'm saying, Like they're coming to you 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.720 because they know what you what you bring to that 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.760 guest versus. And I would hate for me to send 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.440 a nigga some ship and then he's sent it back 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.320 and that ship ain't and ain't you know what I mean, 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.160 it ain't right.

Russ is 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.920 obviously someone who's tapped in with Griselda. I mean, Benny 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:11.520 was supposed to go on tour with him. Uh. You know, 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.680 I think I think when when people like Russ, who 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.240 we don't really kind of expect to like have his 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.440 ear to the street. And mind you, I'm a Russ fan. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.080 I know Russ, so I know better than that. But 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.680 I think that the perception is amongst like generic hip 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.680 hop fans is that that's not the case. I think 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.240 he shout shut a lot of those people up with 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.600 that Chomp project. But talk about him reaching out to you, 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.960 because he's obviously had a relationship with Benny, but like 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.720 like him tapping in with you, Like you know how 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.280 that how that happened? Man? It was dope, man. You know, 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:46.560 I think you know on the Instagram, you know, we 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.120 chopped it up on the Gram and exchanged numbers and 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.760 you know what I'm saying, and we kind of like 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.320 just you know, keep in touch and ship and you 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.400 know that's a cool nigga.

You know what I'm saying, I show love. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.480 And when he sent me the joint, he was like, Yo, 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.400 I got a jointment, I think you know what I mean. 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.120 It's crazy. We could suck him up right quick. And 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.840 I'm like, yo, sending that ship through and you know 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.760 what I mean, Oh yeah, you blacked out that that's 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.280 something else, Like niggas don't be understanding.

I feel like there was a record 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.080 where you kind of had a conscious take last year 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:35.520 that we had talked about.
