My 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.719 grandmother basically took the road of my dad, and I 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.960 had my mom as well, so they were like co parenting. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.120 I was back and forth to the houses. Did you 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.240 grow up with your dad at all? Or okay, you 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.080 meet him or no, you never met him?

So I lived with my mama for 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.600 like the school year and like coming home from like school, 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.920 if we ain't have food, which. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.760 It used to be food that we have to cook 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:16.480 and we kids don't. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.080 We don't know how to cook, so we would resort to, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.280 you know, things like this. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.720 Or I would go to my neighbor house. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.720 We used to call her Big Mama because she didn't 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.360 like being called granny, but she she was she was 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.240 she was like an older lady and I used to 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.599 hang with her grandkids. So I used to go to 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.000 her house like I'm hungry, can I can I have something? 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.479 And she would like give me soups, some soups, or 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.920 she would make me like sandwiches. But I didn't want 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.800 to like always ask her for stuff because I didn't. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.440 I didn't want her to ask, Mama, like you need 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.240 even to help you, you know. So it was that 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.000 the middle school that I went to like every day 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.480 in recess, so I had so I had like this 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.520 rap group or whatever. We would do like battles in 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.800 them and we were win because I you know. And 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.120 then one day I came home and I told my 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.680 mom and them, I'm like I want to be a rapper, 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.800 and it was like you can't rap. I'm like, yeah 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.400 I can, So I can pulled out this paper this 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.600 filled with just like like raps on that and I 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.640 was like reading it to them and then some my 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:25.200 uh so, my stepdad he was like, you have a 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.640 lot of verses, but you have to make a hook. 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.720 Because because he didn't have a hook, I guess I 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.080 didn't even know what the hook was. I was just 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.760 writing around like I was in grade school. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.120 How old are you in grade school? 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.560 It was like from like grade school from what I 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.479 can remember, it was like like second to like fifth. Okay, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.559 so you started young at rapper? 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:46.760 Okay, yeah, I was young. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.839 Who was who was you looking up to at that point? 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.120 I'm going to put you on to rap? 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.960 Like you know what? Like, I didn't like nobody in 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.880 my family really listened to music that much. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.479 It was just like the radio or like so my 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.120 dad he would like have like these music videos, but 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.960 I wouldn't really like pay attention to them. It'll it'll 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.039 just be something to like watch while we're in a 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.600 car or something and just be it. You know, it'll 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.720 like blow over. But as far as doing music, like, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.000 I don't, I don't know. I just could do it. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:16.160 So it was just something I did. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:22.320 You know, But were there particular rappers that inspired you? Hmmm? 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.400 I just used to like songs, so like, no, not really. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.800 I just used to listen to the radio. Then I 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.240 then I would hear the beat. Then I would come 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.680 up with a different cadence to it. And that's how 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:41.880 it happened. Okay, So literally after that, I kind of 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.760 didn't have like I didn't have the family that would 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.880 be like, Okay, since you want to be a rapper, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.800 we're gonna try to end in vesting you like this 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.960 or teach you that. Like I didn't have nobody to 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.320 teach that. Everything that I know now you know, I 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:03.560 have to go through it. And I really stopped rapping. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.040 I started doing hair. 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.360 I wouldn't take me back to the hook. So he 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.720 mentions that you need to know what a hook is. Yeah, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.960 and he just told me, like a hook is something 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.679 that would catch everybody's attention for the song. And I'm like, okay, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.040 kind of brush it off and was just steady doing 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.840 you know what we were doing in like recess and 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:24.280 all that. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.240 And then. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.080 It really did not go further after that because I 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.240 went to middle school, I started growing up. 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:35.120 I started having friends. 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.120 I started going to their houses because you know, they 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.120 had a lot of stuff. They had freedom too, Like 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.600 I didn't really have freedom growing up. My mom really 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:46.000 was like kind of street, you know. So as I 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.720 was making friends, I had thought that I was gonna 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.440 do hair because I used to do my hair because 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.080 I used to always want to look pretty. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.360 But we couldn't afford nobody to do it. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.160 So I started doing mine, and then my friends like, oh, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.000 keep do mine, and I started doing thirst, and then 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.000 I just started doing hair for free, and my mom 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.480 was like, you're not gonna keep on doing her for free. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.000 You gotta charge them something.

I'm like, let me see 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.760 if it's gonna do it again, And when it did 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.840 it again, I'm like, so I'm going through the notifications 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.880 and I realized that the video that I posted the 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.800 night prior is viral. So they're like, oh my gosh, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.200 you're so pretty. We didn't know you can rap, you 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.840 can sing too, And I'm like, oh my god.

Okay. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.520 So after that, I just kept going viral, doing during 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:35.760 covers and all that. And so my cousin, my cousin 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.520 who I got into that fight with ed in middle school, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.440 she actually passed away the beginning of our senior and 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.720 that sent me right off the right, off the rails 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.560 and the like. Before the school year was over. On 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.400 our junior year, we got into a fight like the 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.800 last week of school, thinking like, oh, guys, I gotta 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.760 put us out. They put me out and I have 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.240 to start my senior year and altern to school.

And 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.040 that's kind of what my family did. They stayed away 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:15.880 from me because it was like if you don't want 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:21.800 to deal with her, you know. And she died August fourteenth, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.119 and that like for the whole year, I was going crazy, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.919 like I was.
