Speaker 1: Real people, real celebrity, real time morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: m Vy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: breakfast club special guests in the building. My name, I'm
Speaker 1: good Man. I didn't do this in a while, mad, tired,
Speaker 1: but good I'm black. Yeah, you need to be here
Speaker 1: because you know you had to end of that going
Speaker 1: nuts last week. Bro, you sold records allegedly, that's what
Speaker 1: they said, thirty physical copies right now. With those numbers accurate,
Speaker 1: I don't know they wasn't accurate, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think Billboard wrote like an article after about what
Speaker 1: exactly happened, because you know, that was really my first
Speaker 1: time going selling stuff. Like the other time I had
Speaker 1: New York City the album, I put it up for
Speaker 1: self for twelve hours, and in after that I put
Speaker 1: it out, you know, for free on a lot of mixing.
Speaker 1: It was with that pivot whatever. But this was the
Speaker 1: first time I went and did it full out. I'll
Speaker 1: go cap it best bout whatever. What happened was, I
Speaker 1: dropped the album on Friday. Usually albums drop on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and the physical copies wasn't supposed to come out till Tuesday.
Speaker 1: You feel me. So what happened was between Friday to Monday.
Speaker 1: I guess sound skin is reported from Friday to Monday.
Speaker 1: So from Friday to Monday, I sold like forty three
Speaker 1: hundred or whatever, under forty five hundred, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, in those two days or whatever. And then
Speaker 1: on the or was it on Tuesday. The thirty copies
Speaker 1: that were sold, they were so illegally, Like I don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck there so illegally because I just want
Speaker 1: my music out. But basically it was like the mom
Speaker 1: and pop stores that had them and if people came
Speaker 1: and asked for them early, they were just giving them.
Speaker 1: And it was really this one one store in the Bronx,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and sold the thirty copies,
Speaker 1: but shout out to them, they got my music out.
Speaker 1: I ain't chipping its forty five hundred records sold a
Speaker 1: flop for the independent artists first week? Hell no, hell no.
Speaker 1: You gotta think like I seen everything going in the
Speaker 1: uproar and all that, and it said out, so forty
Speaker 1: file any records, But if I'm getting ninety five percent
Speaker 1: of my bread and that within that week, from that
Speaker 1: Friday to the it wasn't from Friday five, any Friday
Speaker 1: to Saturday or whatever. I made a honey twenty bands,
Speaker 1: you feel me, between the record sales, between thirty thousand
Speaker 1: singles between you know what I mean doing hosting. So
Speaker 1: like when you're independent and you really self made it,
Speaker 1: self paid independent, and it don't matter, it don't matter.
Speaker 1: You gotta get the slow ground, like the reasonable doubt ground,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like they're gonna catch
Speaker 1: the later and they keep picking up and picking up
Speaker 1: and picking up. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I'm here to make money. I'm here to get the paper.
Speaker 1: And now I understand what jay Z meant by can
Speaker 1: you really match a triple platinum artists buck by Buck
Speaker 1: with only a single gon goal? I could really match
Speaker 1: a platinum artist buck by buck with not even a
Speaker 1: single going goal. You feel me? Because what usually happens
Speaker 1: is an artists they get a deal, and they're regular deal.
Speaker 1: They get fifteen percent of every dollar a little more
Speaker 1: if they hot, you know what I'm saying, And now
Speaker 1: with me, I'm getting ninety five percent on every dollars.
Speaker 1: So if an artists get fifteen percent of dollars, they
Speaker 1: sell a million singles or whatever. They supposed to be
Speaker 1: old one hundred and fifty thousand, but the record label
Speaker 1: then spent two fifty three hundred to make them hot.
Speaker 1: So really, what happens if they spend two fifty the
Speaker 1: artists old one hundred thousand back to the label? You
Speaker 1: feel me with cho you have? It don't cost me
Speaker 1: nothing to make no album. I got my own producers,
Speaker 1: I got my own art graphic design. Na, I don't
Speaker 1: got when you got the respect. When they see you
Speaker 1: coming up and they see you like you're the boy,
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that with the strength same way I
Speaker 1: do it. You know what I'm saying. If I see
Speaker 1: somebody moving, I'm gonna do that over the loving everybody
Speaker 1: you see on there, like yo, we're rocking with you.
Speaker 1: What you need or shoot me back a feature or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like y'all just have five
Speaker 1: in yo, whatever you need. Know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So what I was saying is like if I if
Speaker 1: I turn around and I sell a hundred thousand records
Speaker 1: or whatever, like I'm getting more money than somebody who
Speaker 1: went platinum. You know what I'm saying. And I'm just
Speaker 1: talking about les and singles, be moving everything. Just BSB
Speaker 1: get off that coming up. Of course it's gonna sell
Speaker 1: more than forty five hundred over time. But how much
Speaker 1: the BSB get over that? Get we get ninety five percent?
Speaker 1: You know, five percent go no, ninety percent, five percent
Speaker 1: go to my lawyer, and then five percent go to
Speaker 1: the distributor. But I'm so ill that I negotiated it
Speaker 1: where I need to distributed it pay two point five
Speaker 1: or my lawyer percentage. I pay the other two point five.
Speaker 1: It's all about getting having a leverage man and do
Speaker 1: what you want to do. And he's an independent artist
Speaker 1: at the truest for him, meaning he doesn't ray doing radio,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have help doing everything comes out of his
Speaker 1: own pockets. But he pays for radio promotion, he pays
Speaker 1: for touring, he pays for everything. Usually when when the
Speaker 1: artist is they independent, they get a little help from
Speaker 1: a label and they only get up they got a
Speaker 1: little secret development deal or something like that. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's so ill that. Look, look how I came here, y'all.
Speaker 1: Remember when I first started, he was like, yo, go
Speaker 1: signed to a label? Sign He was like yo, how
Speaker 1: long or whatever? Whatever, and then I just still here,
Speaker 1: and I I stood the test of time. I stayed
Speaker 1: focused on what I was gonna do. I told you
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy me. I'm gonna buy me a crib.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give me a RRI I'm gonna do. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this thing independing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, I still want to go
Speaker 1: to a major, But as he joined Venture, I want
Speaker 1: to do with with Rockefeller had I want with murdered Ink,
Speaker 1: with bad Boy like you know that's you have two
Speaker 1: and two fifteen. Do you really need that? I mean,
Speaker 1: it puts you on with me. It's like hustling. Like
Speaker 1: I was a heavy hustler, So I always result everything
Speaker 1: back to that. That's that's my mom frame. So if
Speaker 1: I'm hustling on a honey blocks and I'm making a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day, whatever, say I'm making a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a day off for one block. Now record label
Speaker 1: gonna put me on a thousand blocks, but they want
Speaker 1: to take fifty percent. I ain't tripping. That's still more money.
Speaker 1: I gotta give up half, but I'm getting more money
Speaker 1: instead of me getting a thousand dollars. Now I'm getting
Speaker 1: what's a thousand tons five with five hundred thousand and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, whatever it is, I'm still getting more money.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, we ain't greedy. Now.
Speaker 1: People had a lot of jokes after they put that
Speaker 1: out there with the sales and everything. A lot of me,
Speaker 1: a lot of things, right, A lot of people commented, No,
Speaker 1: it don't affect like, yeah, I come from the dirty
Speaker 1: I come I come from. I'm self made and self paid.
Speaker 1: I can't say that enough. The real things that affect me,
Speaker 1: like jokes and all that that don't affect me. That's
Speaker 1: to me. That's like it's like I'm like Jackie Robinson
Speaker 1: and a racist fan, you know what I mean? Hey,
Speaker 1: or whatever, Michael Jordan when you see him putting his
Speaker 1: hand up and it's somebody in the crowd, you whatever,
Speaker 1: it don't matter at the end of the day, because
Speaker 1: if you look up at the skull board, I'm still winning.
Speaker 1: You feel if I was broke, or if I was
Speaker 1: if I if the show started slowing up, or I
Speaker 1: just came from my I'm dead tired, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But I know I gotta work. It's a
Speaker 1: big platform. I gotta be here. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I just came from Miami. Ain't my life. He ain't crazy,
Speaker 1: like crazy about with your confidence. But I also think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna taking the crazy part not to catch you up.
Speaker 1: I've seen somebody say, y'all, I don't like Joe EV
Speaker 1: because he's too confident with type No. I seem too.
Speaker 1: But I was like, all right, people had it on.
Speaker 1: When somebody say too confident, that don't make no sense
Speaker 1: to me. That's just other people's insecurities. That's me shying
Speaker 1: a spotlight on it because of my confidence, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And it's making them insecure, like it
Speaker 1: don't What happens is they try to like you, try
Speaker 1: to tear choy av Dan. It's like, you gotta look
Speaker 1: at the people that's writing stuff. It's either people that
Speaker 1: I came in contact with and for whatever reason, they
Speaker 1: don't like me for a personal reason, so it's a bias,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or whatever they call you,
Speaker 1: they call you Troy Average. I had a song I
Speaker 1: heard somebody called me CHOI average. Well, let me tell
Speaker 1: you about this average to the Ford. What I say,
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the four new holes on the average,
Speaker 1: and it ain't a half to domb on an average.
Speaker 1: Every show I get it down on an average, and
Speaker 1: my downs about eighty one carriage. You know what I'm like,
Speaker 1: It don't affect me. You gotta think when these people
Speaker 1: tear down Choyav, it's like, who else do we got
Speaker 1: from the city that's doing it this way? You tain't.
Speaker 1: You ain't just trying to tear down me, trying to
Speaker 1: tear down the generation of people. You want them to
Speaker 1: lead and follow somebody else. You want them to be
Speaker 1: drug addicts, or you want them to have I represent ambition.
Speaker 1: I represent grinding, coming coming from the bottom, when people
Speaker 1: tell you can't do nothing. You can't now, you ain't
Speaker 1: gonna be this or you ain't gonna be that. Y'all
Speaker 1: all went through the same struggle. Look at the platform
Speaker 1: and each other. Had you feel what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: everybody came from I'm pretty sure Amby had to carry
Speaker 1: crates or whatever. You know what I'm saying. People got
Speaker 1: more pride than money, and I'm willing to take risks.
Speaker 1: I put my pride to the side. I put my
Speaker 1: money with my mouth is I put my work ethic,
Speaker 1: I sacrifice to be where I'm at. So for somebody
Speaker 1: to try to tear me down and slam to me,
Speaker 1: it's like damn me, like modern day slavery, like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like to the point where they say, um,
Speaker 1: you know what Troy as doing too much? He's not
Speaker 1: like a humble or a type of a yes of
Speaker 1: bass typing, you know what I'm saying, So we need
Speaker 1: to tear him down, you know what I mean? Not
Speaker 1: comparing myself to Malcolm Mamatin, but they told that, they
Speaker 1: told him down Michael Jordan, definitely, because they're great. Shit,
Speaker 1: you better get pay yourself to the grace if you
Speaker 1: want to be great. But do you think part of
Speaker 1: its comments that you've made about other artists too in
Speaker 1: the past, because people have been be dealing facts, I'll
Speaker 1: be dealing. I never even like Colin, Kendrick Lamar or Weirdo.
Speaker 1: And I know you ask me if I think Kendrick
Speaker 1: Lamar is a widow one of my one of my
Speaker 1: pos at the end of the day, at the beginning
Speaker 1: and end of the day, when you independent and you
Speaker 1: like I am, I don't. Nobody built me up, so
Speaker 1: can't nobody tear me down? So I don't. I'm not
Speaker 1: held to the same restraints as artists on a major
Speaker 1: who might not be able to say something because they're
Speaker 1: on that label with that person, or they might need
Speaker 1: this person for a feature. So let me dance around
Speaker 1: and be politically correct like I just dealing facts. Smike
Speaker 1: say Choyavis Dawskin, that's a fact. I can't get mad.
Speaker 1: You can't get mad as Smike for reporting the news.
Speaker 1: You know. I never said Kendrick Lamar was whacked. He
Speaker 1: made whack music. I just said, they said, you think
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar's a widow. I said, yeah, he's a widow,
Speaker 1: and that was it. I ain't saying in a malicious
Speaker 1: way because I don't care. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you could be a widow. I don't care what you
Speaker 1: are as long as don't affect me and mind, I
Speaker 1: don't care. That's the only reason people are slandering the
Speaker 1: way that is. Nah, they try. They trying to tell
Speaker 1: me down because I represent everything that they not and
Speaker 1: and my and my my confidence that makes them become
Speaker 1: insecure because if you got people like me who ain't
Speaker 1: afraid to say, Yo, I'm that, which Lebron said, He's
Speaker 1: he's gonna win because he's the best in the world,
Speaker 1: and it was an uproar. Why you can't say that
Speaker 1: when Michael Jordan don't think you should have said that? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Why not? I think why not? I think you should
Speaker 1: allow other people to speak for you. You can't. You
Speaker 1: can't because what if they don't speak for you, then
Speaker 1: what if they don't speak for you, then what does
Speaker 1: that mean? Hell no, you got you gotta put you
Speaker 1: gotta put that out there. When Little Wayne was saying
Speaker 1: he the best rapper in the world or the best
Speaker 1: rapper alive minus jay Z being alive, if he didn't
Speaker 1: say that, I wouldn't have been thinking that. And then
Speaker 1: what happened. Little Way end up be getting hot and
Speaker 1: he became the best rapper to a lot of people.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Sometimes you can't wait for
Speaker 1: somebody to give you a Just dude, you gotta take
Speaker 1: it it. Feel me. It works when you got the
Speaker 1: actions behind it to prove it. You got it. You
Speaker 1: gotta keep working. You can't just say it. You gotta
Speaker 1: have to work. You got you gotta have a work ethic.
Speaker 1: But when you know, when you know what you're gonna be,
Speaker 1: you do that. You put it out there. I remember
Speaker 1: I was talking the meat shout shout the Meek. I'm
Speaker 1: talking to meet and I'm like, we're talking about just
Speaker 1: rappers in the same bunch of chucks or whatever, and
Speaker 1: they don't got. I don't talk about nothing. I don't
Speaker 1: got And then I was like, yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: be talking about having Ferrari's lamb. I'm getting the Arrari
Speaker 1: me and you was talking Yeah. I was like, I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I don't be like that, and Meek
Speaker 1: was like, man, I ain't gonna friend. I did, but
Speaker 1: that's because I knew I was gonna get it. I
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna be that. I knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna have that. I was talking about, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, And you put it out in a universe,
Speaker 1: and if you go hard and get after it, it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So a lot of other artists do show
Speaker 1: your respect and have been working with you, wanted to
Speaker 1: collaborate with you, time with you. Yeah, But for some reason,
Speaker 1: I don't know why your haters are so vocal, Like
Speaker 1: I go online just because of the attitude, which is
Speaker 1: I'm not coying. I'm confident. Man. I know. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that I could do nothing that I can't do
Speaker 1: or that I haven't been doing. I told everybody I
Speaker 1: was gonna restore the feeling in my city. I did
Speaker 1: that on the last album. I like the New York
Speaker 1: to but a lot of people from New York feel
Speaker 1: like you didn't. They're like, what have you done to restort?
Speaker 1: What have I done that? I just I saved the
Speaker 1: whole generation of people from being drug addicts and turning
Speaker 1: up and winning tight pants and feeling like they gotta
Speaker 1: they can't be, they can't have hometime town pride. That's
Speaker 1: what I did. I look and I sound like New York,
Speaker 1: and I kept it one hunting all the way through,
Speaker 1: and you feel me in and all that out and
Speaker 1: and majority I get a majority of support. So that's
Speaker 1: why I ain't another chipping. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: People from wearing tight pants. You got, I mean you
Speaker 1: got to, because look, look if you start dressing feminine,
Speaker 1: what's next. Listen, man, that's crazy. Anything that happened I
Speaker 1: gotta stack all about Troy av scared that his son
Speaker 1: might be gay. No, I didn't even have a son
Speaker 1: when they wrote that. Yeah, I know what they were.
Speaker 1: You were doing a lot of tweets about like okay yo,
Speaker 1: that's another thing. They'd be digging up my tweets from
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven tho type of stuff. Like it's
Speaker 1: case said, I said, Kanye rust ain't fly. Somebody just
Speaker 1: dug it up and put it out there, like all right,
Speaker 1: Like what do they hope they trying to? I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: they just trying to tear troy As down. You're committing
Speaker 1: a very dangerous crime right now. You gotta do this
Speaker 1: with the nikes on. First of all, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you about that because I'm gonna tell you it's so ill.
Speaker 1: It's so ill that you don't even know where that
Speaker 1: came from. As me, I'm the one who put that
Speaker 1: out there. You can't mix and match brands. I put
Speaker 1: that out there. You could check the video. It's from
Speaker 1: like three four years ago. But now it's certain sneakers
Speaker 1: that you could wear. You can put the camera on. These.
Speaker 1: These ain't regular sneakers. It's certain classic joints. These are
Speaker 1: the hot Top Air Force ones. They're a little more
Speaker 1: money than the low top. I wouldn't do the low top,
Speaker 1: you feel me, or certain Jordan brands. You could do
Speaker 1: this like I'm one of the flies ones moving. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And I ain't saying that way.
Speaker 1: I'm just dealing in facts. I got people wearing check
Speaker 1: pains from Adidas and this is from Wexu was saying
Speaker 1: that this is Wexa Thedidas saying sales have spiked in
Speaker 1: the Dida's track pains since we did a deal with Troya.
Speaker 1: I just dealing facts. I like to keep it black
Speaker 1: and white. No, no, they checked the soccer pains. Paul
Speaker 1: Chack sus, I ain't got people wearing those. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna chuck you like I've been doing that. But the
Speaker 1: soccer uniform wasn't nobody win. That wasn't nobody wining soccer jerseys,
Speaker 1: you feel me? And then I came through burning it up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can wear Adidas with UH with hot top,
Speaker 1: air Force ones with the strap or like Jordan's and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But you can't just be wearing on
Speaker 1: Nikes with a regular Nike check. You can't wear amats.
Speaker 1: Now you can't. That's just a note. That's no bueno.
Speaker 1: You gotta get some shell toes and just keep it cool. Man. Now,
Speaker 1: how did you in fifty end up making amends? Because
Speaker 1: I know at first he felt a little bit weary, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this guy's try nails that whole thing up. Man. Now Nah,
Speaker 1: look who's up? Man? Look Look at that Bill cubing
Speaker 1: on his drinks were getting money? Man? But how did
Speaker 1: that come about? Like? How did you and fifty end
Speaker 1: up having a conversation and I know now you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do some dates with him, possibly from the road,
Speaker 1: did a song together. How did y'all finally make some amends?
Speaker 1: It was just it was it was actually at like
Speaker 1: your own like a Chris Brown concert at the Barkleys,
Speaker 1: And um, I was supposed to come out. I end
Speaker 1: up getting it a little late or whatever because I
Speaker 1: found our last minute. So Paul, I mean when I
Speaker 1: get to the spot, yeah, Barkleys. When I get to
Speaker 1: the spot, I see fifty in a joint in um
Speaker 1: whatever that underground job whatever it is. Job were joint
Speaker 1: and on parking the parking lot, indoor, the arena. And
Speaker 1: then like I'm the type of person you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: hear like I don't. If somebody had a problem with me,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be like I'm not gonna be in
Speaker 1: the same room as them and and know nothing happened,
Speaker 1: or you know what I'm saying, Like I don't. Just
Speaker 1: I ain't a passive person, you feel me. And that's
Speaker 1: probably another reason why I get I began some slacks sometimes,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I'm confident whatever. So anyway, after the
Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, with the with the gun in
Speaker 1: a in a Lloyd Banks and then whatever, and then
Speaker 1: y'all asked me how it felt or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: M fifty says something I got on who it was.
Speaker 1: I said, Man, when I see his I'm gonna pull
Speaker 1: them to the side. I gotta chop it up, like
Speaker 1: real talk, like you know what I'm saying, which is
Speaker 1: a very dangerous thing to situations. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: dangerous for some people like but I ain't. I ain't
Speaker 1: a coward, you know what I'm saying, And I know
Speaker 1: who I am. So when when I seen him, like
Speaker 1: I just had real talk, I pulled him to the
Speaker 1: side and then we kicked it. Because that's more than
Speaker 1: anything fifty was that that was my favorite rapper growing up.
Speaker 1: You feel me? So like for that type of that happened,
Speaker 1: I felt like, Yo, you're supposed to embrace me, you
Speaker 1: feel me, you know what I'm saying. And he was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you know what you You're right. It was other ship
Speaker 1: moving around that happened with that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't the energy wasn't directly towards me. And
Speaker 1: he said, matter fact, you know what, take my number,
Speaker 1: hit me tomorrow, whatever whatever. So I'm going through the airport.
Speaker 1: I hit him. We end up talking for like forty
Speaker 1: five minutes, a forty five minute conversation, and end up
Speaker 1: till a fifteen thousand dollars check. I ain't really yeah no,
Speaker 1: I ain't really asking no questions. I was you sometimes
Speaker 1: sometimes you just gotta close your mouth and open your ears,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, especially with somebody that been
Speaker 1: in the game, that you respecting and have been doing anything,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it wasn't a lot
Speaker 1: of questions. I was just kicking it with him, just regular. Really,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put your soul on power, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like what you're doing, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And then you know, we just took it from then
Speaker 1: and forging relationship and then and then once like I've
Speaker 1: been consistent no matter if fifth says something that I
Speaker 1: think it was funny or whatever, I'm gonna hunt it, man,
Speaker 1: I'll keep it all the way rail. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, whatever he said that, but regardless of anything,
Speaker 1: that's still my favorite rapper, and that's who influenced me
Speaker 1: to be doing what I'm doing now getting all this
Speaker 1: money where I'm at. And then what happened to me
Speaker 1: and went to dinner, I mean with the dinner, we
Speaker 1: went at the spot that you be at. You be
Speaker 1: in my spot? Yeah, yeah, I just shout in my spot.
Speaker 1: So I said, I can't go there and to the
Speaker 1: spot now. So I'm like, what come ahead, yo, I go.
Speaker 1: I go to the spot. And then we just said
Speaker 1: he like, man, it's some flies or whatever. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I said, I I just just how I showed gratitude.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you influenced me, whether
Speaker 1: you realize it or not, indirectly or whatever, and that
Speaker 1: got me on it where I am now to be
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing. So at least I could do
Speaker 1: is take you to dinner and were just shopping it
Speaker 1: up and we blt from there. You know that's funny,
Speaker 1: you said, because you know you can always tell when
Speaker 1: hip hop people come to this pocket. The first thing
Speaker 1: when I go there, the first thing they said was,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Troy, I was here. I'm like, you just here,
Speaker 1: you can spot in Cologne. Man stayed up. I see
Speaker 1: a lot of people also give you flat man, because
Speaker 1: they said you haven't lived what you rap about. They
Speaker 1: say the whole dope boy Troy thing, it's a farce.
Speaker 1: If it's a farce, where did the money come from?
Speaker 1: When I first came on Breakfast Club, I had a Rolex?
Speaker 1: Where you get it from? I had a Jesus Peace
Speaker 1: where you get it from? I was driving at me,
Speaker 1: say now whatever, you know what I'm saying, But like,
Speaker 1: where do the money? You can't fake the money. That's
Speaker 1: one thing you can't fake. Dug No, I'm good man,
Speaker 1: I live. I live a good lifestyle. We're selling the streets.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but we don't. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm blessed. I pray to God and
Speaker 1: once you once you on God's side. I don't never
Speaker 1: start no conflict. I always I'm always gonna win because
Speaker 1: I don't never start them. But I finished everything. That's
Speaker 1: a fact though, So when I know I'm blessed or whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever I say, whatever I do, I'm I'm always right.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying and not saying I'm right
Speaker 1: because I'm kacky. But I got God on my side,
Speaker 1: I ain't. I don't start nothing. I never started nothing
Speaker 1: since I was a name, probably like high school. I
Speaker 1: used to be in at the bullsh start and robbing,
Speaker 1: the type of dump. But after that, man, right is
Speaker 1: right and wrong is wrong. Now, do you have any
Speaker 1: idea what these numbers are gonna be like when they
Speaker 1: come out? No, I don't, maybe like maybe like seven
Speaker 1: eight thousand, maybe seven. I don't know what the hard
Speaker 1: copies is because you know, I'm independent, so we don't
Speaker 1: shipped like how I think usually labels might ship fifty
Speaker 1: thousand hard copies with anything transformed digital. So we only
Speaker 1: did a few mom and pop stores and a few
Speaker 1: best bards, so they might have shipped. They might have
Speaker 1: shipped six hundred copies altogether. Of the of the hard
Speaker 1: copies because the majority of people streaming it on Spotify,
Speaker 1: like I didn't I made. I probably made at first
Speaker 1: it was fifteen bands or for Spotify streaming or for
Speaker 1: the reggord Doudo, you know what I'm saying. So like
Speaker 1: like the streaming, this is real, this new age streaming
Speaker 1: and downloading, it is real, you feel me? And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, to be honest, New York
Speaker 1: City not even made you without a deal. That was
Speaker 1: supposed to be a mixape I supposed to get. I
Speaker 1: was supposed to get hit did that pifth? I was
Speaker 1: supposed to get a little bag with all those appearances
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, it filled out later on. That's supposed
Speaker 1: to be white Christmas three and the end up feeling
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and people I was chucking.
Speaker 1: I was like, let me get it right. The only
Speaker 1: reason I ain't drop it around Christmas tithe was because
Speaker 1: what I didn't know, Like you know, we're going as
Speaker 1: we learn, iTunes shut down at a certain date and
Speaker 1: you can't get it on iTunes or whatever. So what
Speaker 1: I like to do is I usually would put it
Speaker 1: on iTunes for twelve hours from twelve am and then
Speaker 1: twelve pm. You get it downloaded for free. So they
Speaker 1: shut down on me and everybody left the office for
Speaker 1: the holiday season, and I couldn't put it out. So
Speaker 1: I was a guy. Let me just waiting, you know,
Speaker 1: Neils and hope like, man, it don't matter. It's gonna
Speaker 1: wait for it, and it's gonna be They're gonna be
Speaker 1: happy when they when they get it. It's like you're
Speaker 1: waiting for a rod and you mattered person probably finally
Speaker 1: showed me like, man, I took your solong and are
Speaker 1: you happy? You ready to go? So I knew what
Speaker 1: I had with that in White Christmas made you without
Speaker 1: a deal was supposed to be White Christmas. I was
Speaker 1: only supposed to get fifteen to twenty back bands for that,
Speaker 1: you know how that go on a little debt pith
Speaker 1: or live mix sape, and I just held out and
Speaker 1: I end up made almost ten times that you feel me?
Speaker 1: So this chest not checkers, and this is a marathon,
Speaker 1: not a race. There's a period of time when it
Speaker 1: seemed like TI was gonna sign you, and he had
Speaker 1: even said that y'all were in talks and had a
Speaker 1: rebel agree dog and that didn't work out. So, um,
Speaker 1: what is your situation now with Ti. Is it something
Speaker 1: that you're still talking about or is it a big
Speaker 1: Tia my dog. Like any type of I'm a loyal person,
Speaker 1: So any type of business move, I'll make you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, even if because TI extended his hand
Speaker 1: and and like, I don't never take none for granting.
Speaker 1: I don't. Kids might give me a piece of bread
Speaker 1: when I ain't have nothing. I don't never, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna never burn bread. He probably got burgers shout to
Speaker 1: his new restaurant scale nine to five. I think I
Speaker 1: hope I said it right, but yeah, it might give
Speaker 1: me a piece of bread when I ain't gonna turn
Speaker 1: around and say that was only a piece of bread.
Speaker 1: I never forget that. And they got my loyal tie forever.
Speaker 1: So whenever I'm making a business move, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hit tip, yo, tip, what's up? We think I should
Speaker 1: do this or whatever? And right now he said, Yo,
Speaker 1: it's trying to get a joint venture or whatever. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So we're just gonna figure it out.
Speaker 1: No matter what type of business I do. I'm about
Speaker 1: to um, well, I ain't gonna say what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do because the contract getting away in yet. But it's
Speaker 1: a type of ways to get money. Like I'm learning
Speaker 1: that when I when I first started doing his music,
Speaker 1: I was focused on Yo, I'm gonna I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: on stage. I'm gonna do some shows. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: some bitches, IM get a nice car, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a little fame, and I'm gonna just have money. But
Speaker 1: I ain't know. Look, I had a billboard and in
Speaker 1: all throughout New York, I got commercials on on on
Speaker 1: TV for Sean john My video permitting Tom Square. I'm
Speaker 1: doing endorsement deals with with liquors and clothing companies. That's
Speaker 1: because I'm hot, you know what I'm saying. The hottest
Speaker 1: artists don't always sell the most amount of records. That's
Speaker 1: a fact. Though. You think your sales have been high
Speaker 1: on a major label, Yeah, hell yeah, definitely, because they would.
Speaker 1: They would have spent They probably would have spent. Envy
Speaker 1: noticed because he had a and oh I heard, I
Speaker 1: heard they spent like seven hundred and some thousand the
Speaker 1: market artists and make you hot? Is that? Or you
Speaker 1: can tell me right now exactly So a new artist
Speaker 1: coming in, how much did they spend about um on
Speaker 1: that marketing could be a hundred and fifty, so totally
Speaker 1: everything that they would spend on nowadays. I mean, well
Speaker 1: usually when you signed a deal, it could be like
Speaker 1: a five hundred thousand dollars deal. Let give you a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand up front, maybe one hundred and fifty recording
Speaker 1: in the marketing promotion. Well what I spent on that?
Speaker 1: Like to do? He liked to pocket the money. Now
Speaker 1: they counted Nelson pocketing. The good thing is enough to
Speaker 1: go around fifty on marketing the promo. All right, cool,
Speaker 1: Well I'm spending less than the fraction of that. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying in my return is bigger. So
Speaker 1: you gotta think that's why at that makes you out
Speaker 1: of deal? Job? We had three we had we had
Speaker 1: four cools, all major labels. What's up? What we doing?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And we're like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna, we're gonna see let's let's wait, because now
Speaker 1: it's different when like me, I ain't I ain't coming
Speaker 1: to them acts for nothing coming to me. So now
Speaker 1: I got the leverage. Now I've been now uh they
Speaker 1: see that it caused joy I have nothing to make
Speaker 1: an album and he could sell it these amount of records,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So now imagine if we
Speaker 1: put this big spotlight on him or whatever, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Imagine what he could sell. And the
Speaker 1: good thing about it with me is I'm hot in
Speaker 1: New York City. I'm not hot in in Arizona, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Or not. I'm not hot in Omaha, Nebraska,
Speaker 1: or I'm not an artist that's hot right there. I'm
Speaker 1: hot in the biggest city. I'm so when you hot here,
Speaker 1: you really feel it. You feel what I'm saying. So,
Speaker 1: like I could be independent forever. I only want to
Speaker 1: make five million dollars. That's that's my focus. Five million.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be rich forever. I ain't. I ain't never
Speaker 1: gonna go broke, my family, good everything. So when you
Speaker 1: got I take I make small ghost for myself and
Speaker 1: I've been accomplishing them. I know, I know it's all obtainable. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'shout to my little man too. Nay, yeah, yeah. What's
Speaker 1: your relationship like with a Manolo Roles? Because it was
Speaker 1: all kind of issues. They said the Dope Man record,
Speaker 1: They said, you stole the hook and a verse from
Speaker 1: that song. You know what it is, We don't really
Speaker 1: got no relationship. You know what I'm saying. When I
Speaker 1: see him, I probably get him a weggie slap them
Speaker 1: so something regular. But it ain't na na you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, you know what it is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it is. They like I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: the whole dynamic with that. They like they like some
Speaker 1: older name from the hood who it was like Moso
Speaker 1: on the widow type of vibe. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. You could be cool with the
Speaker 1: widow type of vibe. But like I'm underst I'm explaining
Speaker 1: you the dynamic of our relationship. I know them and
Speaker 1: they and they team from selling them cocaine to sniff.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the dial. It's not allegedly, it's a fact though.
Speaker 1: I'm the dealer day the user. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But you can still to each his own. Everybody got
Speaker 1: the vices, no problem, you could do your thing whatever whatever.
Speaker 1: But now it's like a fiend from the hood. Feme
Speaker 1: might be cool, yeah, yeah, yeah, chilling, Yeah, wipe with
Speaker 1: my tires. I give you some money. For whatever. But
Speaker 1: if Feen ain't never gonna be happy with the tend files,
Speaker 1: you can come on. Give me a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Come on, give me a little bit more. But I
Speaker 1: mean he said he gave me a hit record, no problem,
Speaker 1: make another one. I wish you the best. Wait, so
Speaker 1: you did take the song, though I did not take this.
Speaker 1: So I bought the beat. The song was it, The
Speaker 1: song was a whole other. The song was the same record.
Speaker 1: The producer who I bought the beat from, he just actually,
Speaker 1: uh manolo wrapped a song straight through. The producer chopped
Speaker 1: it up, made the hook or whatever. They've been trying
Speaker 1: to get a feature with me. The DJ, which is
Speaker 1: a homeboy in ma he played at a barbecue. I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: that's hot. I jumped on a remix. That's where they get.
Speaker 1: I took the verse from what I was going to
Speaker 1: do is use his joint and leave and leave him
Speaker 1: on it or whatever. So I was just playing off
Speaker 1: for his verse, you know what I'm saying. And then
Speaker 1: what happened was I put I put it out and
Speaker 1: then started playing it. So I say, Yo, what I
Speaker 1: do is I could catch you out if you don't
Speaker 1: leave you on the hook or whatever, and and put
Speaker 1: you in a video everything. He was like, I bet yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm all with it. I'm are with it. But before that,
Speaker 1: they was initially but hurt because I didn't reply to
Speaker 1: a text message or something. And I ain't ever do
Speaker 1: it maliciously, like I ain't the type in eggs might
Speaker 1: text or whatever. I was just busy and didn't see
Speaker 1: it till mad long later on, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But like I said, when people say they did something
Speaker 1: for you, that's that's four to five songs ago. You
Speaker 1: feel me. So if you made a hit record, make
Speaker 1: another one and just do your thing. I gave you
Speaker 1: the platform I put you did. He that was a
Speaker 1: hard It ain't about it being a hard record. Is
Speaker 1: it a hit record? Is he getting baggs? Is he
Speaker 1: moving around? If that's if that's a good record, then
Speaker 1: I guess sold more. Man. I'm blessed, so I don't be.
Speaker 1: I wish the best for people and whatever. Now I
Speaker 1: ain't even gonna I wish the best phone. I just
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm doing my things so much. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know you know how that go. You want you
Speaker 1: you stupid or whatever? You know what I mean, that's it,
Speaker 1: But I'll just be wishing the best for people. I
Speaker 1: just don't care because I'm doing I'm so much focused
Speaker 1: on doing my thing, man, and I gotta deal with
Speaker 1: real life issues. I gotta deal with with writers trying
Speaker 1: to trying to tear me down. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: what is this about? Like where does this come from?
Speaker 1: They want to dig up my old pass? Like we'll
Speaker 1: get the whole thing with vice, right? How does Complex
Speaker 1: have such a bad review about my album? And that's
Speaker 1: what is it called? When ain't writer's supposed to be unbiased?
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying. So to have such a
Speaker 1: bad review then everybody else and what the complex? So
Speaker 1: them out? This is crazy with old A legends in
Speaker 1: the game. Anybody who heard my album, Yo, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: That shows you that it's biased with it. But you know,
Speaker 1: I got I gotta deal with that because I represent
Speaker 1: everything that they don't. I stand for everything that they
Speaker 1: don't like. They want you to be yes the boss
Speaker 1: and just be all fragile and dossile. I'm gonna submit
Speaker 1: that we move a militant if if MUF don't because

Speaker 1: a fact. Though I hopped out and sold in your

Speaker 1: ambition and what I want to be. I came here
Speaker 1: to be great. I ain't come here to be a
Speaker 1: flash in the pain. You feel me. You have the
