Thank 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.200 you for pulling up buddy for sure. Yeah. How's everything 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.720 in your world? Man? Good? Just been working, still focused?

Do you feel like because I always 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:23.640 say this, man, I feel like Stockton is like kind 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.800 of like the hottest city in California in terms of 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.560 the hip hop scene and what's going on. And I 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.760 feel like it seems like like y'all finally kind of 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.800 getting some credit now. Do you feel that way? Yeah? Yeah, 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:37.879 for sure. There's definitely a lot of telling out there. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.960 Everyone just starting to get hips. It's been like that 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:42.760 for a couple of years now. But yeah, it's dope 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.760 to see for sure. Yeah, I feel like you're kind 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.720 of when I think of Stockton, I think of you 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.560 and I think a Haiti baby like in terms of 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.319 like the last five years, Like you guys are kind 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.640 of like the two main dudes. That's fair to say. Yeah, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.920 I think that's fair to say. For sure. What is 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.200 up playing? Look, I ain't trying to get into politics, 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:00.640 but it feels like there's just a lot of drama 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.480 in terms between the rappers out there, whether it's yourself 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.319 and the other guys, and you know, it just seems 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.080 like there's a lot of like not a lot of 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.600 people moving together out there. Yeah, definitely not. Is that 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:17.920 like this all politics driven? Yeah, definitely is just a 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.880 bunch of street shipping that that that you know, hinders 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.399 music for sure. I feel like LA that kind of 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.760 got in the way of l a kind of moving 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.560 because you know, there was a moment when LA was 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.240 kind of like cold, you know what I mean. I 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:34.600 feel like because a lot of the up and coming 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.880 artists out of LA that the politics, I guess, get 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.320 in the way of the music. Now. Stocked In is 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.280 a way different city. It's a very small place, so 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.119 it's definitely not the same dynamic because I'm sure when 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.640 shit happens it's stocked it it's it's very small. I've 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:54.400 been there, you know, small together. Yeah, it's a lot different, right, 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.600 But for you, like, do you think that there's any 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.200 like progress in the right direct or is it still 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.040 kind of like everyone's just kind of divided doing their 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:12.840 own thing. I mean, as of right now, people like 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.840 that ship though like like I feel that's what's driving 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.359 in like people like seeing that that beef and ship 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.360 and that drama and ship. Yeah, it's crazy because I 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.520 kind of feel like Stockton's kind of like the West 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.160 Coast like Jacksonville, kind of like Jacksonville's like rap scene 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.400 is like kind of driven by like the fucking beef ship, 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.760 and I feel the Stockton ship is kind of similar, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.760 like it's just so much beef, and I feel like 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.440 it helps. It's not good for the human beings involved, 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.600 not that it helps with It helps with the with 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.440 the getting the streams up and numbers up, especially like 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.600 YouTube and stuff. It's like a given and take though, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.480 because it's like if you lean into that ship, there's 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.400 like real life ramifications. Yeah yeah, for sure, we gotta 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.960 know what you signed up for. But yeah, that's that's 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.280 that's what people like right now. Do you feel like 0:02:58.280 --> 0:02:59.760 you be leaning into that ship a little bit just 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.240 to kind to help the music or I mean I've 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.679 always been to type like whatever whatever be happening, I 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.560 just leave it out the music because I treat it 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.480 like two separate entities. You feel me like this is 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.080 really my job for like like business. You feel me 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.560 like I don't want to. It ain't it ain't. I 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.960 just I try to just do you like, look at 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.799 you professionally you feel me. Yeah. But and as far 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.640 as that, I'm just fun all that shit. F Yeah 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.079 for sure. Yeah. I mean there's been a lot of 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.440 guys losing their life out there too, man, Like you know, 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.320 like the like the slow van dude obviously rest in peace. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.840 But there's a lot of a lot of dudes, is there. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.880 I feel like I've heard a few people losing their 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.400 life out there. They're like I just followed the Fizzler, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.920 bro theler just be keeping me in Yeah, for sure. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.040 For you, because you're kind of like one of the 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.920 pioneers out there, I would say that you're probably in 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.160 terms of like catalog and like you know, being able 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.880 to tour and do certain ship, you're probably the most 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.640 successful guy at a Stockton. Do you feel any pressure 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.040 or any responsibility kind of being like the national face 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.400 of a city like that? Uh? Yeah, A little bit 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.560 better save time. It's just I really just be so 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.520 like worried about myself. Like I don't really care what what, how, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.800 what people expect or you feel me think of me. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.960 It's just I'm just so focused and dialed in on 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.440 on myself and try to like better myself. So whether 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.760 people look at that like as a as a you know, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.120 a good representation, it's just it is what it is. 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.560 You feel me naturally, When do you feel like you 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.960 kind of like figured out how to like properly turn 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.039 the rap shit into a business and like really monetize 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.159 your fan base. Uh? I started I started looking at 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.840 the analytics everything, like where where where certain fans of 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:54.200 listening to music from? Uh, like top cities? Like what 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.200 type of Like I'm really looking at what type of 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.080 songs are streaming the most? You feel me like like 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.040 certain raps song just do good on YouTube, but then 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.080 like like a song as for the females like singing melodizing, 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.120 that's that's doing. He'll get on like like Spotify or something. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.359 And I'm looking at it and it's like cities that 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.520 I never expected. So like like where like right now 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.440 on my Spotify list? Last time I looked at it, 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:22.440 I think top five. I think it was like Melbourne, Australia, London. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.640 Uh there was like three out of country cities. Oh yeah, 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.919 and it'd be like it'd be like for songs like 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.880 like the singing songs you feel me. That's so crazy 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:38.520 to think, like Australia is really far crazy. So when 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.960 you see some ship like that, or you're like, damn, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.520 maybe we should try to go do some shows out 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.640 there or run some ads out there, try to you know, 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.920 like like how do you take that information and like 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.120 how do you apply it to like what you're doing. Uh, yeah, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.920 we try to. We try to do like try to 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.520 try to have ads reached towards towards that way. We 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.680 we were actually speaking to somebody from out there, like 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.120 a promoter, trying to get some shows together. But uh, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.120 that's on hold right now, trying to put that together, 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.800 try to have a show in Canada. And then and 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.800 they didn't even let me in, which was weird because 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.400 they let me in in uh Toronto and Montreal. Is 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.080 it because of your record? Yeah? But but they did 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.600 me so greasy this time, like they looked up everything, 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.920 like Dyven broke it even get in. They was bringing 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.440 up stuff from like when he was fourteen. Really this 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.240 is crazy? Was this Vancouver? Yeah? Vancouver? Damn? So like 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:31.960 you how does it work? You get to the border, 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:33.760 So yeah, we get over there, we go through the 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.760 little Uh I forgot what it's called. Uh, what's it called? 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.000 When you go we go to TJ customs. Customs. Yeah, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:47.200 so we were in customs. They see me whatever. I guess. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.560 I guess I kind of throw them off with the 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.599 face tattoos and shit. They looked me up. I guess 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.000 the seen I was a rapper. Then they look up 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.680 everything else that's on the internet, the little indictment shit 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.640 and just the ship that was on like blogs and 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.279 all that shit. So all that pop up day on 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.600 everything on my on my two suitcases.

I'm like, that's the that's the first thing 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.800 I see and I just put it on there. But 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.560 they have they bring me to like a little room 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.880 in the back. They like, we gotta ask you a 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.320 couple of questions.

Uh. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.559 They're like, you're gonna have to spend the night in 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.319 uh in custody so we could do more homework on you. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.480 What the fuck? Yeah, to try to get into a country. Yeah, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.400 I was like, fuck that, I gotta go. They're like, 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.360 you can't leave. There's no there's unless you can find 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.000 a flight. There's like, we'll give you an exception. If 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.800 you can find a flight to the US right now, 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.200 we'll let you leave. But they were like, there isn't 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:56.880 any though, so you're gonna have to spend the night 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.560 and it could possibly become a legal issue because you're organized. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.280 What they said, gang member that's coming into the country 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.120 or something like that. So I'm looking, I'm like, give 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.880 me five minutes, bro, I'll find a flight right now. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.400 So we're looking. I'm on the three way with man 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.520 and the lawyer and we're just trying to find a 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:13.760 flight to get U out of it. The first flight 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.000 I seen it was in New York, So I just 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.040 bought a ticket to New York got up out of there. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.720 What I was there for so long? Yeah, just to 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.080 get it. So you were trying to drive, Like you 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.040 drove to the border or did you fly there? We flew. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.559 So you fly into Vancouver to the airport and before 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.679 they let you into the country, they pretty much hit 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.840 you with the line of corners. Yeah. So when I 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.800 first went to Toronto, the dude kind of gave me 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.960 a little bit of issue. I got in contact with 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.400 my lawyer, Cunner, But but the dude was cool. So 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.280 what they were saying, they really depends on who's working 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.280 at the time. But I guess Vancouver more strict because 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.720 it's connected to California. You feel me, right, Damn, that's crazy. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.360 So you just flew to New York. Yeah, I flew 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.120 to New York, spent the night over there and at 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.640 the flight pack, well, I was on a plane for 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.160 like a whole day. I was like a terrible twenty 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.320 four forty two hours terrible.
