For real, real, like we both 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.360 get money.

But you say, it's kind of like if 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.200 you think of New York, you think of Harlem being 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.640 like the flashy, fashion like spy. So the West Side 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.480 is kind of like the Harlem of Detroit. You feel 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.360 what I'm saying. Yeah, that makes sense? Yeah? Does. When 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.880 you were growing up, did you listen to Eminem at all? No? 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.479 I ain't started listening to him until like a year ago. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.880 You know that, like what's that one song like that 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.720 you only get your chance to blow?

Yeah, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.680 your ships are really about to go crazy too, So 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.439 it's like you got to perfect timing.

I 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.240 already didn't expect this ship, Like there's some shits that 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.520 you always talk about, but you don't think it's going 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.199 to come to life. So when it happened, it already 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.719 blow your mind. Then you're around the people that you 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.080 was already listening to as a kid, right in the 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.800 same rooms. These people got the same opportunity as them too. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.320 You just got to make sure you do your job. Yeah, 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.520 they're like really the craziest rap label we've had in 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.320 like the last like fifteen twenty years fire artists. Yeah, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.199 it's crazy, It is crazy. Yeah, it is dope too 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.040 to see like they're they have like a real effort 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.320 in Detroit to like you know, and they actually push 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.240 the artists. That's a good thing they do one hundred percent. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.280 No matter which, like you said, like whether it's little Baby, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.560 whether it's you, whether it's whoever it is, they're putting 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.880 like they're they're not a lot of our labels will 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.760 signed people and really kind of waste people's time. Some 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.280 people don't be working at the same that's true. Sometimes 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.160 people get signed and they think that the work's over. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.160 They got the pay, they got the bag. Now that's 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.160 when the work starts. Did you know, it's a whole startover. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.959 It's like you starting starting over through the street phase. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.760 Now you in this big you in this big room now, 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.160 so it's like, what's gonna make you stand out one 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.400 hundred percent? Is that something that like when you were 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.080 when you first signed it, they have that talk with you. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.480 Do you already just kind of know like no, now 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.400 off top, Yeah, what's some game that those guys have 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.960 given you? Obviously a shout out to Q there. Both 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.720 of them dudes are bosses. For real, like any game 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.480 that you that you took with you from from P 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.880 and those guys, you say, your money still on your 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.920 ship and keep working? Yeah, are you being uh pretty? 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:26.800 You know we just lost P and b Rock obviously 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.760 rest in peace. We've been losing a lot of artists. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.800 We're losing a lot of people just and not even 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.400 just losing people, but just ship is crazy out especially 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.640 in l A. Obviously, ship's crazy everywhere. Are you pretty 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.080 conscientious about how you move now? Like where you are, 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.120 where you end up at? Like I was like that 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.960 before that though, you know what I'm saying, Like you 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.840 already got to be on your shoot no matter where 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.320 you go. Everybody look at a like a tourist site. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.680 Though you feel me. They want to come see the 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.760 Hollywood stuff, the sht that we see in the movies. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.320 That's why you feel me. So you got to know 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.200 where you're at, that's the main thing. Well, what I 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.840 noticed too, is when you came in you didn't have 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.760 your chain on. You put your chain on for the interview, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.960 which makes sense. Yeah, because because of that, well I mean, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.080 I mean, I'm just saying that if it was because 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.120 that'd be smart, because if you're just rolling around because 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.240 of that, I'm gonna walk out with this motherfucker. I'm 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.800 just saying. I mean, I know that I was like, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.480 that's smart. I'm not saying that you're scared. If I 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.520 was an artist, I would I would just hell, I 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.160 wouldn't be wearing that ship if I was going to 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.400 seven eleven. You see, then some people just make some 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.680 dumb mistakes and just go. You ain't got to anywhere. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.400 You ain't going nowhere. I'm coming from the room. What 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.880 do you think is the biggest misconception about your city? Man? 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.640 Everybody think it's a bad thing. They think like we're 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.840 gonna come fuck something up as soon as we get there. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.120 It's really cool because it's a lot of ship you 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.520 can see a lot of foods, you can eat, a 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.000 lot of people you can meet too. You feel if 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.400 you're looking for the bullshit, that's when the bullshit comes. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.480 Your attract what you're looking for. But there's so many 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.080 clubs out there you can go to enjoy yourself like 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.240 nothing gonna happen. You're not gonna get shot up. Like 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.160 people think, what was that area is a little Greece 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:09.000 or a little uh uh. The area that we drove 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:15.640 through this with the strip of bars downtown, Greektowntown. There's yeah, 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.520 there's like a strip of like restaurants and bars called Greektown, right. Yeah, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.920 it ain't no strip, no, no, no strip clubs. But 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.160 when we went down there, the security dude was talking. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.040 She's like, he don't go to Greektown by yourself. I 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.640 was like, we drove through. It looks like some tourist ship. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.040 Like I don't know, shouts of a great food out 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.640 there at strip clubs. Great food. What would be if 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.560 somebody were to go to Detroit would be the one 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.040 restaurant that they'd have to eat at. You got the 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.400 quart from Media with grill, it'd be like the street 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.360 the street foods out there, like people from there and 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.840 got their own restaurants, like you pretty tapped in with 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.800 the Pistons. Yeah. I know a couple of Cunningham, yet 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.680 I don't really know him like that watching him City 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.240 is a Stewart. That's the guy who got so that 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.280 he almost follow Lebron. Yeah. Hey, worst case scenario could 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.320 be your security in the off season. That dude, that 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.760 dude looks like he had the one to play with. 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.040 How you feel about the Pistons young team, great pieces. 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.280 We should we should, we should do good this year. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:20.159 You're a big basketball fan, yeah, life Lions? Are you 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.639 a Lions guy? I don't really watch football like that. Well, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:23.879 I guess when you go up to Detroit and the 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.040 Lions are the worst NFL franchise of all time. I 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.040 used to go there as a kid though, like I 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:29.600 used to go to the game, so I just never 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.080 played football. I'm a big big basketball If they were 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.600 really good, you probably would be a fan though, for sure, 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.960 for sure. Yeah, I feel bad for Lions. I got 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.120 a couple of my homies from detroiting their die hard lines. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.520 I'm like, damn, that's rough. You remember that if we 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.200 get one this year, y'all won't. Though, y'all won't. Y'all 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:53.239 got Jared Golf as your quarterback, y'all ship. Detroit's are 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.400 crazy sports city, though, like every y'all got every team hockey, 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:02.400 fucking baseball, basketball and everything on like one street. It's 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:08.320 all right there, yeah, yeah, little Caesars Arena, Tiger Stadium 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.120 looks like a vibe. Yeah, it's all right there. Most 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.760 places you go to like the city, like in the 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.679 football stadium, like thirty five minutes away from downtown or 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.200 it's always spread out everything right there off the freeway. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.960 What would you say now that you you know, you 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:26.280 see the light at the end of the tunnel with 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.240 this rap career? Shit, would you say there was ever 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.600 a low point in your rapping career where you did 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.120 not know if it was worth the time or the 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.440 investment to continue pursuing it. No, not for real, because 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.440 I was actually doing it for fun. I was actually 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:40.840 doing it because I wanted to do it. So you 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.280 were doing it just because you wanted to do it. 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.000 Like whether or not you were making money on it 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.719 didn't matter. They were doing about that to start. I 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.119 found out about Distro and somebody told me about like 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.399 you put your music on there. So even if I 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.239 didn't make no money, dame was gonna stop me from 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.679 not making music.

That was the thing 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.720 back in the day to keep dropping videos. Try to 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.920 get ten k views, get ten k like the man 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.480 that's a big ten K's a ten k that's serious.
