Speaker 1: although we could get a house for one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars in this suburb on the south side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so crazy, but.
Speaker 1: Still I love it. Yeah. So when did you make
Speaker 1: the move to Los Angeles to pursue your hopes and dreams.

Speaker 1: don't want to shit on Arizona, but you're kind of
Speaker 1: like the only like super fucking lid person from Phoenix
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's so crazy, Like I feel, first of all,
Speaker 2: I feel kind of like isolated and like almost like
Speaker 2: I have to prove myself because people don't know nothing
Speaker 2: about Phoenix, right, and they don't know anything about Arizona.
Speaker 2: So everyone just assumes like everybody's white, everybody's Trump supporters,
Speaker 2: which there is a lot of that. There is a
Speaker 2: lot of that.
Speaker 1: Also, Arizona went Biden last selection somehow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know there's also a lot of us.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's a very like wild place because like
Speaker 1: it is where everyone goes to retire. There is a
Speaker 1: lot of old white folks. But it's also like where
Speaker 1: it goes down. Everyone's strapped, the fucking cartels running shit.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy place. Yeah, there's gangs, there's it's a
Speaker 1: fucking Arizona's a wild place, for sure. It's just it's
Speaker 1: kind of like Florida, Like Florida's a fucked up place,
Speaker 1: but it's also a place rich people go to die.
Speaker 2: No, it's literally the desert version of Florida.
Speaker 1: It is the desert version of Florida. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like Mexico La is lacking a Philiberto's
Speaker 1: style option of food? That's a twenty four hours a day.
Speaker 2: That is so funny you said that because that was
Speaker 2: like when I went to Arizona, that was like one
Speaker 2: of the first places I wanted to go.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, how are we in LA and
Speaker 1: I can't get a burrito at any time of the night.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, if you're in Arizona, you can go
Speaker 1: to Phillies at six thirty in the morning, you can
Speaker 1: go at three am, you can go out here? Does
Speaker 1: taco trucks close it too? Like, I don't know where
Speaker 1: else you're supposed to go to get food except McDonald's,
Speaker 1: and we're in LA. The city is not supposed to sleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not trying to get McDonald's either.
Speaker 1: Terrible twenty four hour of food options in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Go to Christine's mom's house, Christine's mom's house in the
Speaker 1: valley in the eight one A. Yeah, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: Phillies is not the greatest Mexican food, but it's there.
Speaker 1: It's there, It's it's dependable. You know, you can go
Speaker 1: get a California Breed or anytime, but then after the
Speaker 1: club you might be shit faced. Go to Phillies or
Speaker 1: Roberto's or Romero's or Julio Berto's or any type of
Speaker 1: birth dough. It's a lot of birth dows out there
Speaker 1: there is, So how did you initially, like, okay, you're
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, you decided to move to LA. Were
Speaker 1: you already kind of like garnering up like a buzz
Speaker 1: or did you just come out here like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fuck it. I'm gonna just leave home and go chase
Speaker 1: this shit.
Speaker 2: So it started off with my mom putting me in. Uh.
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I was saying, dancing, acting
Speaker 2: my whole life, just like East Vallee Children's theater and
Speaker 2: like Value theater and doing musical theater, doing pageants all
Speaker 2: the shit.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: My mom really sacrificed a lot for me and my
Speaker 2: stepdad was a lot for me to do that. So
Speaker 2: really grateful for that. So I started with that since
Speaker 2: I was like three years old, okay, and then was
Speaker 2: put in by my mom a competition, a singing competition online.
Speaker 1: Okay through Kids Bop. Oh, they were.
Speaker 2: Doing like a separate thing called kid Star USA.
Speaker 1: Okay, shout out to the kids Bop albums.
Speaker 2: Kids, So they were doing that. I ended up winning
Speaker 2: the competition. My mom didn't tell me until I was
Speaker 2: in like top five that I was even in the.
Speaker 1: Competitions, right, So I submitted you you had no idea
Speaker 1: exactly by the way your top five, you might your
Speaker 1: life might.
Speaker 2: Change, you might exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the prize was to win a record deal, okay,
Speaker 2: And so I was I think I was a Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was a freshman by the time I had won,
Speaker 2: and they came to my school and did this whole
Speaker 2: like assembly thing.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: It was like really extra as fuck, but it was
Speaker 2: so cool. So that then I went to New York
Speaker 2: and signed with my first record deal. And then that's
Speaker 2: when I started kind of going back and forth between
Speaker 2: Phoenix and La a lot. And then there was times
Speaker 2: where I was like living in La pretty much for
Speaker 2: like a month, and then I would go back home
Speaker 2: and just like come on my own, right. And then
Speaker 2: I was officially here when I was sixteen, and then
Speaker 2: I got dropped when I was seventeen.
Speaker 1: From the Kids Bop la first label.
Speaker 2: Well, I was touring with Kids Bop for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, what's that? Wait? Wait, wait, what's the tour
Speaker 1: with kids Bob? Who's Who's it goes off?
Speaker 2: It's crazy?
Speaker 1: Is it just a bunch of people's like a bunch
Speaker 1: of children on stage, singing like in the club.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like five kids just like go showing h's your birthday? Yeah,
Speaker 2: We're gonna party like it's your birth.
Speaker 1: And you're on stage doing all the renditions, dancing. What's
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous show? What's what was the most inappropriate
Speaker 1: kids Bop? So because some of the songs, you're like,
Speaker 1: how did they How did that make it to a
Speaker 1: kids Bop compilation?
Speaker 2: I think one of the ones that we perform, well, okay,
Speaker 2: we performed what's that Maclamore song? Were you talking about
Speaker 2: being in the.
Speaker 1: Same oh, thrift shop?
Speaker 2: That was called thrift shop. I'm like, you're talking about
Speaker 2: being shop thrift shop. We did that one and it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of like rapping in it,
Speaker 2: so we had to change a lot of words. They
Speaker 2: were not appropriate for kids, So that was interesting. The
Speaker 2: things that we changed it to were really funny. And
Speaker 2: then Locked out of Heaven that was also really.
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars, Yeah, yeah, Bruno Mars. If you listen to
Speaker 1: his lyrics sometimes you're like, oh, yeah, it's almost like
Speaker 1: when you listen to the Weekend shit, Like you really
Speaker 1: listen and you're like, oh, the Weekend might have a
Speaker 1: drug problem.
Speaker 2: I love that though.
Speaker 1: The Weekend's my favorite, probably my favorite, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I just love I don't know if I listened to
Speaker 1: anyone more than the Weekend. I love the Weekend. He's amazing.
Speaker 1: Did you see him at a so far?
Speaker 2: No? But she did?
Speaker 1: It was fucking fire.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 1: I went the night before he didn't perform because he
Speaker 1: you know, he came out on stage and like apologized
Speaker 1: to everybody because his voice wasn't you know, oh no,
Speaker 1: which I actually liked because most people would have just
Speaker 1: pushed through. But he was like, nah, I gotta do
Speaker 1: this the right way. We're in LA. But he's amazing.
Speaker 2: Dam did he come and like he spends it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he redid it a few I say. I think
Speaker 1: it's like a month and a half or two later
Speaker 1: and then it's on HBO. Now I just watched it.
Speaker 1: Tripping on shrooms?
Speaker 2: Oh good for you? Should I do that?
Speaker 1: You want to eat rooms right now? M mmm?
Speaker 2: I mean Christine would have advice against.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just gotta ask because we do have them.

Speaker 1: let me know. Me and Ray Shimmer were Truman hard
Speaker 1: during our interview. Really yes, like things are getting real realistic. Yes,
Speaker 1: you enjoy psilocybin.
Speaker 2: I really enjoy it. And I don't do nothing. I
Speaker 2: don't drink good I don't smoke weed. I don't do nothing.
Speaker 2: But you'll you'll partake in I just said nothing, but
Speaker 2: my rooms.
Speaker 1: Shrooms are great.
Speaker 2: They're amazing. Yeah, they're literle like medicine.
Speaker 1: I have people who, like a couple of my friends,
Speaker 1: they'll microdose before they work out because it gives them
Speaker 1: like a little more focused, little more energy.
Speaker 2: And like a little lyft.
Speaker 1: Yeah I read that. Have you eve Ben a d mt? No,
Speaker 1: I want to try it. I'm scared.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think I would do it. Why
Speaker 2: not because I'm by I pulled her as.
Speaker 1: Fuck and might get rid of that.
Speaker 2: I'm not well. The mushrooms do that for me. I'm good.
Speaker 2: I'm good with that. Maybe maybe one day.
Speaker 1: Or ayahuasca like Aaron Rodgers, you.
Speaker 2: Want to do ayahuasca, though, I actually do.
Speaker 1: I heard that change it. That's like thirty years.
Speaker 2: Chelsea Handler do it on her show.
Speaker 1: How was that?
Speaker 2: It was so interesting? Like she was like crying at
Speaker 2: the end and shit talking.
Speaker 1: I have a friend who changed their whole life.
Speaker 2: Her sister, and like it just changes everything. I mean,
Speaker 2: mushrooms did that for me too the first time.
Speaker 1: I how much would you eat though? Did you eat
Speaker 1: a lot? Well?
Speaker 2: I we made it in tea.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so.
Speaker 2: It was good because it was like I could just
Speaker 2: slowly get into it and take more and more, and
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: That's which I love bellies like that. Belly only likes
Speaker 1: it in tea. He's like big shrowd guy, but he
Speaker 1: drinks it. I don't know if I could drink it.
Speaker 1: There's like no escaping if you drink it.
Speaker 2: I feel like you actually can well from what I
Speaker 2: was told. But like if you go to I went
Speaker 2: to Amsterdam and they like, it's so different there because.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like, yeah, it's just how it is.
Speaker 2: It's like a dispensary.
Speaker 1: But it's like New York City now different. Have you
Speaker 1: been in New York recently? You just go to the
Speaker 1: liquor store, Like literally the corner store in New York
Speaker 1: City they got shrooms right behind the counter. It's fucking
Speaker 1: in New York City. You could buy a blunt an
Speaker 1: eighth and some mushrooms all at the Bodaga.
Speaker 2: Now, well we'll be there.
Speaker 1: Why it's the wild wild water right now, you'll see
Speaker 1: just anywhere where they got like a smoke shop, just
Speaker 1: walk in. They right behind the counter, it's on display.
Speaker 2: That's good, you got there. Yeah. And Amsterdam, they said
Speaker 2: that I love it because they like actually educate you
Speaker 2: and like they'll give you like a slip and like
Speaker 2: tell you exactly how to do it. But they were saying,
Speaker 2: if you start to feel too high or you're like
Speaker 2: not feeling good, just drink juice. As soon as you
Speaker 2: eat something with like a high amount of sugar in it,
Speaker 2: it will start bringing down your high.
Speaker 1: I'd rather eat too much shrooms than eat too much weed,
Speaker 1: because eating too much wheat is terrible. It's the worst
Speaker 1: shit ever you've ever had, like a like a bad
Speaker 1: edible e space.
Speaker 2: It's the worst I've never had that, but I've I've
Speaker 2: literally I can't even do CBD, that's how bad it is.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think CBD is a thing. I think
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, one of those things where like
Speaker 1: mentally you think it's supposed to help you out, but
Speaker 1: it's like it's a placebo effect. It's like you got
Speaker 1: a CBD massage. My wife got a CBD massage in
Speaker 1: Palm Springs this weekend. So what do you think that is?
Speaker 1: What the fuck are they gonna do? They're gonna rub
Speaker 1: CBD on you. Here's a blunt smoking.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's not good for me.
Speaker 1: So you get paranoid.
Speaker 2: No, I had like a full on episode like it
Speaker 2: was bad.
Speaker 1: So you're out on the four twenty on THHC. It's
Speaker 1: not for you.
Speaker 2: No, that's good. None of that. I'll celebrate with mushrooms.
Speaker 1: Shrooms are amazing. You have a lot of tattoos, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. Can we explain a few of the more
Speaker 1: notable ones that you would feel like, you know, because
Speaker 1: you got you got a lot, and they're very like
Speaker 1: there's mother father, There looks to be a church. There
Speaker 1: is that a hookah? Or is that a genie lamp?
Speaker 2: No, it's actually an old perfume.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a perfume bottle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like that.
Speaker 1: People are like a jellyfish.
Speaker 2: A jellyfish is my favorite animal. This is there's a
Speaker 2: type of jellyfish. I think it's called the eternal jellyfish.
Speaker 1: Why do you love them so much?
Speaker 2: Because it's the only animal. I mean, they're just cool,
Speaker 2: like they don't have brains and they're living, like they're
Speaker 2: literally just like floating around, but they're alive and like
Speaker 2: they're not really conscious, Like it's I just saw crazy thought.
Speaker 2: But this eternal jellyfish, it can live forever. It's the
Speaker 2: only animal that lives forever.
Speaker 1: Oh shit.
Speaker 2: So once it's like it, I think it's something like
Speaker 2: if if it gets like it feels a threat or
Speaker 2: something happening, it just starts with the life cycle all
Speaker 2: the way over and goes back to being a pull.
Speaker 1: Up and then we'll start that's wild.
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Rocky Point?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I was in Rocky Point last summer and I was
Speaker 1: surrounded by jellyfish, and I cry like a bitch. Was afraid.
Speaker 1: I was like, my fucking I'm gonna have to get
Speaker 1: pissed on. Did you get done? I didn't. I was afraid.
Speaker 1: I was like someone's trying, like they were everywhere. I
Speaker 1: just all of a sudden, I looked around and I
Speaker 1: was like, is that a plastic oh ship, it's a
Speaker 1: fucking it's like seven jellyfish. I wasn't actually crying, but
Speaker 1: I really was like I'm done. I started panicking.
Speaker 2: I know that feeling though. I was in Australia one time.
Speaker 1: I was like, some dude's gonna have to pee on me,
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know the guy. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm okay. Never shots r Kelly, but I'll passed hard,
Speaker 1: pass hard past on the stranger pe Okay. So what
Speaker 1: else do we have here? What is the fruit on
Speaker 1: your shoulder? Is that a fruit? This thing rare rare? This?
Speaker 2: Oh? This is uh?
Speaker 1: He has a not a fruit? Oh so he has
Speaker 1: a He actually has an art museum in St. Petersburg, Florida,
Speaker 1: where I used to live. Really, the Balley Museum is there?
Speaker 2: That's dope?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's an with a flower coming out of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got some vibes? What is well? Who's Nancy?
Speaker 2: That's my grandma?
Speaker 1: Shout outs to Grandma. Got to pay homage to Grahams.
Speaker 1: Do you like to play craps? Is that why you
Speaker 1: have dice? No?
Speaker 2: I have dice because I've been rolling the dice since
Speaker 2: ninety seven. It's a fixed nine.
Speaker 1: I like that. Are you were you born in eighty seven? Wow?
Speaker 1: When were you born eighty seven?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I got a decade. I remember ninety seven? Do you
Speaker 1: do you really for sure? What's what is like the
Speaker 1: most vivid memory you have from ninety seven walking around
Speaker 1: Christown Mall without my parents? Do you have any parents?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: Because I was a bad kid who would like all
Speaker 1: my friends are older, so I'd be like ten years
Speaker 1: old running around on the Red Line in Phoenix, fucking
Speaker 1: going to Metro Center and the Christown Mall watching my
Speaker 1: friends steel stuff. Oh my god, yeah, Valley Metro good place. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So for you, it's been a long time since you
Speaker 1: put out music pre pandemic, even what's been going on,
Speaker 1: I've just.
Speaker 2: Honestly, God, I've been writing whole time. Album is ready
Speaker 2: to come out now. I think there's just been a
Speaker 2: lot of obstacles that have come up that I've had
Speaker 2: to kind of maneuver around to make it to this point.
Speaker 2: So I'm just I've just been trying to like.
Speaker 1: Personal stuff, business stuff, folks, and.
Speaker 2: A lot of times they are both. I'm an artist,
Speaker 2: so like my work is me, so everything I take
Speaker 2: everything really personally, which is also like kind of bad.
Speaker 2: I need to work on like separating it a little
Speaker 2: bit more. But but yeah, everything is like super personal
Speaker 2: to me. So pretty much everything that has to.
Speaker 1: Do with work is like so the album is called Grudges.
Speaker 1: Correct why Grudges?
Speaker 2: I hold a grudge very easily.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to get from the south Side.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really it's really hard for me to just
Speaker 2: be like okay, because also, like loyalty is everything to me.
Speaker 2: So like if I'm and I really try to be
Speaker 2: like the best friend that I can to people, I'm
Speaker 2: just like a good person. So if I'm being what
Speaker 2: I think is an amazing front to you and you
Speaker 2: think I'm be an amazing front to you, and you're
Speaker 2: like just fucking living in it, and then you do
Speaker 2: something to fuck me over, it just shows me what
Speaker 2: kind of person you are, because I don't I don't
Speaker 2: change like coming into no situation. I'm always gonna be myself.
Speaker 2: I'm always going to be open.
Speaker 1: Have you Praakeed dealt with a lot of that being
Speaker 1: in LA because the music industry is full of the weirdest,
Speaker 1: which is.
Speaker 2: So shitty to say, because I feel like a lot
Speaker 2: of times it's like I wanted to say, like, oh,
Speaker 2: it just gets a bad rap or like, no, it's
Speaker 2: just not really like that.
Speaker 1: It's probably truth.
Speaker 2: It is the truth.
Speaker 1: Most people who are like your associates or friends here
Speaker 1: are only that as long as they see the benefit
Speaker 1: coming down the pipeline. Or it's like trust me, I know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Everybody's kind of off for themselves. But I have met
Speaker 2: a few few real ones, but a few ruins for sure,
Speaker 2: that's for sure, a few grounded people.
Speaker 1: Is your eighteen year old best friend from Phoenix who
Speaker 1: you moved out here with still around.
Speaker 2: She's not here, but she's going to move back.
Speaker 1: Oh what she doing?
Speaker 2: She actually moved to South Mountain too, which she didn't
Speaker 2: live there. She moved to South Phoenix voluntarily. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well her mom.
Speaker 1: Lives there, so she like went, oh, she's coming back.
Speaker 2: But she likes it because, like she hikes every day
Speaker 2: and you know, it's a friend over there.
Speaker 1: She's hot. It's really hot. Yeah remember that heat wave. Bruh,
Speaker 1: it felt like Phoenix for like two months.
Speaker 2: People don't understand the heat of Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll get in the car and get a third
Speaker 1: degree burning from your fucking.
Speaker 2: Seatnel literally literally, it's so crazy, Like when I I
Speaker 2: can't when I go back, I just am so spoiled here.
Speaker 1: Now as a kid, are you like listening to MC
Speaker 1: magic and mb Ritis? You know who they are? Though?
Speaker 1: Like you know who MC magic is as a kid.
Speaker 1: I mean it's more like you know the Latin side
Speaker 1: of things. But you weren't an EMC Magic fan, just
Speaker 1: your friend over there from.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's yeah, that's like all she listened to.
Speaker 1: All I listened to was little rob Amanda Perez a
Speaker 1: n b Ritis.
Speaker 2: No, but it's because my so the way that I
Speaker 2: the only way I know my culture and have been
Speaker 2: informed is from my surroundings growing up. My grandpa was
Speaker 2: deported when before my mom was born, so I never
Speaker 2: got to know the Mexican side of my family. We're
Speaker 2: like finding them on Danna ancestry, which is crazy, like
Speaker 2: getting in contact with like cousins and uncles and shit,
Speaker 2: it's wild. So I'm trying to find her dad because
Speaker 2: we don't even know like where it is or like
Speaker 2: we're guessing who he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been like a whole So you're Mexican and
Speaker 1: what black? Okay? Yeah, so you like the whole Mexican
Speaker 1: vibe going on in Phoenix just kind of passed you.
Speaker 1: Like there was like the lowrider shows that were crazy
Speaker 1: and like yeah, what, Yes, did you ever go to
Speaker 1: the swap meet like on like fortieth Street in Washington.
Speaker 1: That's where I got my name. I was there selling
Speaker 1: mixtapes and DVDs and fake purses and fake Jordan's.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Almost got arrested like eleven times. I've been banned from
Speaker 1: the swap meet by the airport, like at least ten times.
Speaker 1: They told me to never come back. So I would
Speaker 1: just book my spot under a different name every time,
Speaker 1: and then I'd pay the guys to like let me
Speaker 1: know when the security was walking around, and I'd just
Speaker 1: walk off. How old were you sixteen, seventeen eighteen? I

Speaker 1: says Lincoln Bio, yeah.
Speaker 2: For sure, I'd be pick.
Speaker 1: It's a problem.

Speaker 2: like you don't even be knowing them, and they're like,
Speaker 2: you know, I love a girl and the bikini pick,
Speaker 2: I have a bikini pick. We all do it. It's great, right,
Speaker 2: but if my partner is liking that person's pictures, you
Speaker 2: don't even know her first of all. Second of all,
Speaker 2: she's not looking out for you, right she guys don't
Speaker 2: give a fuck if you're liking her pictures.

Speaker 1: or equivalent is to you know, guys will follow IG thoughts, right,
Speaker 1: Are there dude versions of that that I'm just not
Speaker 1: hip to? Like, are there guys with like twelve like
Speaker 1: twelve packs? I don't even think that's real. That'd be
Speaker 1: definitely surgical if that's the thing.

Speaker 2: I be following the Instagram girls because they're women are
Speaker 2: just so much more beautiful.
Speaker 1: I agree, you'll follow the IG women as well. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, okay, don't be tapping. Don't don't double.

Speaker 1: like yeah, not, I hear you.
Speaker 2: I don't want to look like an idiot, you know,
Speaker 2: like I don't want other people knowing shit before me.

Speaker 2: about being cheated on. The one time I was cheated on,
Speaker 2: I was like, the most fucked up part was that
Speaker 2: everyone knew except sent you.
Speaker 1: So it was like they were like the friends knew
Speaker 1: because it's I feel like it's like it probably a
Speaker 1: different situation if like your man is on vacation in
Speaker 1: Miami and he hooks of the stranger he's never gonna
Speaker 1: see again. Sure you should hate that and you should
Speaker 1: leave him for that, but it's not like if like this,
