Speaker 1: of like peak SoundCloud era of music. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like we kind of have seen you kind of grow
Speaker 1: up in front of our eyes. Yeah, man, for you, Like,
Speaker 1: how's it feel to kind of finally it to being
Speaker 1: an adult? It's crazy, I mean it's just I felt
Speaker 1: like an adult for a the longest time because I've
Speaker 1: been doing so much grown stuff, like just going out
Speaker 1: the clubs and like stuff like that, like strict clubs
Speaker 1: and like since I was like sixteen, you gonna shit
Speaker 1: like that. Like it's just like ever since a kid,
Speaker 1: I've been living this grown lifestyle. You feel me, right,
Speaker 1: It just now it's just like I kind of been
Speaker 1: doing all that stuff, so I'm kind of just trying
Speaker 1: to focus on the business now. You feel me just
Speaker 1: mature with it. You feel me I'm having fun though,
Speaker 1: But do you feel like like growing up in the
Speaker 1: rap game, you kind of lost a lot of like
Speaker 1: of your innocence, you know what I'm saying. And yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean everything that I go through is destined.
Speaker 1: I feel like I knew that I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a rapper ever since a little kid, like and it's
Speaker 1: like the shit I was doing. I was drawing myself
Speaker 1: out on a piece of paper performing in front of
Speaker 1: the crowds when I was like ten, and then a
Speaker 1: couple of years later it interesting came true, like twenty
Speaker 1: thousand people in the crowd, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like Mad Decent show with Diplo. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: and it's just a year after I wrote that on
Speaker 1: a piece of paper. It's like, it's crazy. It's crazy
Speaker 1: coming from Philly because your music is obviously like more
Speaker 1: like melodic, more like you know, you know when when
Speaker 1: I hear your shit, I don't really hear a lot
Speaker 1: of Philly influence. If you will, Yeah, well, is it
Speaker 1: safe to say you really as a kid the whole
Speaker 1: like Philly meek male, free way shit kind of like
Speaker 1: missed you. Yeah, I never like I listened to that
Speaker 1: type of stuff, but I never like was like trying
Speaker 1: to do stuff that everybody else was doing. Like I
Speaker 1: was literally making this for my soul, like I knew
Speaker 1: I wanted to make music. You gotta understand, Like I
Speaker 1: was working with all the big producers that was that's
Speaker 1: popping right now, like right for sure, like Filthy, working
Speaker 1: on Dying, like the people that just did Cardi Hoole tape.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, produced a lot for the Poland song for
Speaker 1: YACHTI Like those are the guys you're working with? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like eleven, you know what I'm saying. So, like we
Speaker 1: was creating a whole new sound in the city with
Speaker 1: the trash shit and like just like people know, like
Speaker 1: if you ask around, they gonna know, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, So like they where when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I was just posting a bunch of like Twitter snippets.
Speaker 1: I was freestyle on Twitter, and they found me on
Speaker 1: Twitter and they would just send me a bunch of beats.
Speaker 1: And then from there we just start going crazy and
Speaker 1: like just making a whole new sound. And then that's
Speaker 1: what made it it stick out, I feel like, right,
Speaker 1: and then a lot of my early stuff was actually
Speaker 1: trenched out like it was real like rap. I mean
Speaker 1: like a not a lot of people here, but like
Speaker 1: the real ones, know, like Michael Myers low Key, those
Speaker 1: were way before Overwhelming. Overwhelming wasn't my first song. Overwhelming
Speaker 1: was just something that we planned out so it could
Speaker 1: go up, you know what I'm saying. With the fidget spinners,
Speaker 1: with the kids on the block, fidget Spinner gang man,
Speaker 1: I think if God, I think five years ago, I
Speaker 1: think of fidget spinners and I think of you. Yeah, God,
Speaker 1: that's what everybody say. It was like we capitalized on
Speaker 1: it without even trying, you know what I'm saying. What
Speaker 1: happened to fidget spinners are just out. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I ain't see a Fisher spinner in a minute. Those
Speaker 1: things were fucking lit for a while. It was right,
Speaker 1: So give me like for you, man, because I do
Speaker 1: feel like anytime, you know, you go through such a
Speaker 1: real fast path to fame, viralness, et cetera, especially at
Speaker 1: a young age, there's probably a lot of stuff that's
Speaker 1: hard to deal with, you know, stuff that you probably
Speaker 1: looking back on. Is there anything that you feel like
Speaker 1: you took from that era that you learned from or
Speaker 1: any mistakes you feel like you might have made? It? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't been through deals on deals and and like,
Speaker 1: how many deals have you been signed to too? Like
Speaker 1: two major deals, I mean two major labels. I was
Speaker 1: signed up Warner Brothers at first and then Motown with
Speaker 1: Capital and you're free agent out now, free agent independent. Fully,
Speaker 1: I just I had too because I ain't never took
Speaker 1: that route and I wanted to since the beginning of
Speaker 1: my career. It was just a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: was it was like, it was just a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff like you know when in the beginning of your career,
Speaker 1: it's like everybody coming to you with deals, Oh, you
Speaker 1: gotta do this, Oh you gotta you feel me? So
Speaker 1: then but I luckily I got out of both of them,
Speaker 1: and now I'm able to do what I want, drop
Speaker 1: when I want, I want, and you feel me. And
Speaker 1: it's like one thing I learned from that, Like every
Speaker 1: sign artists want to be independent. Every independent artists want
Speaker 1: to be sign. It's like you gotta take what you
Speaker 1: got and really take advantage of it for sure, whatever
Speaker 1: situation it is, how involved, Like how involved has your
Speaker 1: mom been in your career? Always like she's my manager
Speaker 1: right now, so so your mom is like steering the ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean in the beginning, she was scared, like I
Speaker 1: had it for I had not for it, but like
Speaker 1: I had to kind of like help like be like
Speaker 1: it's cool, You're gonna be good, like you could do
Speaker 1: this you know what I'm saying, Like cause she was
Speaker 1: scared to be a manager, like she ain't know nothing
Speaker 1: about the business. We ain't know nothing about the business.
Speaker 1: Were coming in, you know what I'm saying, Were coming
Speaker 1: into this like really trying to figure it out. It's
Speaker 1: gotta be kind of hard because like the motherland stinks.
Speaker 1: Kick in, but you're also a popping rapper right, so
Speaker 1: that you're around a bunch of shit this hella. But
Speaker 1: my mom had me at fifteen, so in the beginning
Speaker 1: it was like she was kind of scared, but then
Speaker 1: she got so your mom had you when she was fifteeneen,
Speaker 1: it's like blood assister relationship almost, like we just we
Speaker 1: closed like that. You feel like, how does your mom
Speaker 1: now he's thirty two? Damn, I'm older than your mom.
Speaker 1: Motherfuck yeah, it's crazy, shout out to mom. Yeah, your
Speaker 1: mom by turn thirty three. It's about to be your
Speaker 1: birthday on the sixteen Happy birthday to month day. Damn.
Speaker 1: So your mom and you were just kind of figuring
Speaker 1: this shut out as a pretty much we together. You know,
Speaker 1: all this up you feel I'm still in school, and
Speaker 1: then pretty much all that stuff happens years later. I
Speaker 1: didn't even get to go to high school. I had
Speaker 1: to drop out before I even went to high school,
Speaker 1: So you never even got to make it to ninth grade.
Speaker 1: I went homes school, and it was to the point
Speaker 1: where it was like the homeschool wasn't really doing nothing right.
Speaker 1: So I was ended up just like like just copying
Speaker 1: past and everything, just like cheating pretty much like it
Speaker 1: was just too easy, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: like I just realized, like, bro, you could do your
Speaker 1: own research. You know what I'm saying. We have computers
Speaker 1: and phones now, which is like AI is killing our
Speaker 1: brain slowly, but at the same time, it's learning. You
Speaker 1: can learn from it because it's creating a bigger, iCloud brain,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I feel like that's
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. So did you get a GED
Speaker 1: or anything or did you just kind of you know,
Speaker 1: I ain't do nothing. I ain't get no GD I
Speaker 1: dropped out, dropped out. So when was the last time
Speaker 1: eighth grade we were in school? Seventh much? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't even remember the grade it was on. It was
Speaker 1: on the computer, so it was all online. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't even hear. That's crazy. It's like at first, because
Speaker 1: at first I had to go home school because everybody
Speaker 1: knew me you were popping at school. But then everybody
Speaker 1: had to go home to school because of Corona. COVID.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, damn, but there it is, man, I'd say, Kobe, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: COVID Corona, same shit. It so fast forward to now obviously,
Speaker 1: you're eighteen, now you got new music coming. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like being independent is more like does it fit
Speaker 1: fit you more? Because you can kind of drop when
Speaker 1: you want. Yeah, I feel like and now that I'm eighteen,
Speaker 1: I could finally be myself, you feel me Like before
Speaker 1: it felt like I had to keep certain shit like secret,
Speaker 1: just stay low key because like it's like I don't
Speaker 1: want to get caught up and it means like like
Speaker 1: my mom, I don't want my mom get caught up
Speaker 1: or nothing because I'm a minor. You ge know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, meaning like what like because you do what
Speaker 1: I need to do, do what I want to do.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Just be out, pardon whatever
Speaker 1: I want to do. Were you doing like a ton
Speaker 1: of drugs? No, I wasn't doing no druggs. Well that's good,
Speaker 1: like everybody around me was. But it's like you gotta
Speaker 1: keep a strong mind, like so you never participated in
Speaker 1: any of the fuckeryn It's like you gotta know when
Speaker 1: to draw the line, like everybody around me be doing
Speaker 1: crazy shit, Like I didn't been in parties where everybody
Speaker 1: sniff and shit. Like in the first show, I had
Speaker 1: people off a keademy. My mom there. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, was your mom off academy. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do none of that ship. Well
Speaker 1: that's good at least she passed that down to you,
Speaker 1: because that would have been super easy for you to
Speaker 1: like Noah, Because Bro, I've seen it from the jump,
Speaker 1: like people tweaked out and my shoulder just tweaked out.
Speaker 1: I never wanted to do like, I'm never going sniff
Speaker 1: nothing in my life. You feel me? Maybe if I'm
Speaker 1: in Columbia with a badass you mean, but like other
Speaker 1: than that, I ain't doing in that ship. You feel me?

Speaker 1: you ended up going super doing the fashion show, shit,
Speaker 1: working with X. How did you want X? Initially link
Speaker 1: up dms like that pretty much. I looked up to
Speaker 1: X like my whole like that was my favorite artist.
Speaker 1: You got know what I'm saying. And I would DMO
Speaker 1: and then he hit me back like but the way
Speaker 1: mm me bad was like he knew me, like it
Speaker 1: was my friend already. You you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And when we would chop it up, he would just
Speaker 1: tell me so much like info on like just like
Speaker 1: what to do and how to do it, like write
Speaker 1: out your own deals all that type of shit, like
Speaker 1: just real grown game. You get know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like big bro shit, you feel me. But we never met,
Speaker 1: but we would always chop it up online. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: we were FaceTime for hours though, you feel me, like
Speaker 1: just talking you know what I'm saying, like play the
Speaker 1: game together, all that type of shit. And then but
Speaker 1: we never met, but we were all and I would
Speaker 1: send them music. He was sending me shit and then
Speaker 1: we made the song and he put it on the album.
Speaker 1: It was like three people on that album. You you you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Was it huge? Was Joey Badass
Speaker 1: on the Y and Travis uh Berker. Yeah, that's crazy,
Speaker 1: that is wild because that is a important album in
Speaker 1: history now we look back, that was his first, Like,
Speaker 1: that was his first album. Yeah, no, it was, Well,
Speaker 1: wasn't that his first full length album? No, it was
Speaker 1: maybe was it seventeen or the question mark? Seventeen was
Speaker 1: his first? Okay, then it was a question mark because
Speaker 1: a question mark was on. But he was always dropping
Speaker 1: project like right from the jump, like little mini projects
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But yeah, his full first project
Speaker 1: was seventeen. I'm pretty sure. Do you remember what your
Speaker 1: last like exchange with him was before he passed away?
Speaker 1: Probably a FaceTime call. You know, we would just chop
Speaker 1: it up. I would send him music, you know. I
Speaker 1: was sending them a song. I was sending him this
Speaker 1: song I was working on for him. He was supposed
Speaker 1: to hop on because when we did the song for
Speaker 1: his album, it was like a swap, so he would
Speaker 1: give me one for my vice versa. I was supposed
Speaker 1: to have another song, but we never got it done. Damn, man,
Speaker 1: tell me the story about Drake trying to buy one
Speaker 1: of your records. Oh so the reason I didn't do
Speaker 1: that was because I was cool with X, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and like, and there was that kind
Speaker 1: of like weird beef that. Yeah, they had that shit
Speaker 1: going on. So I just stayed out the way of that.
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, I linked that with
Speaker 1: my boy like oogie pretty much so he could just
Speaker 1: get the beat. And now they got to buy So
Speaker 1: what was it? So it was a It was a
Speaker 1: so Drake was trying to buy a song that you
Speaker 1: had already like cut. Yeah, I already made it. It
Speaker 1: was called Message, and uh, my manager pretty much told me.
Speaker 1: My manager at that time told me that, uh, they
Speaker 1: was trying to buy a song for hundred and fifty thousand,
Speaker 1: and I just denied it cause it was like how
Speaker 1: to respect the X? Yeah, ou to respect the X?
Speaker 1: And then you know, it was just it was like
Speaker 1: pick aside. You know what I'm saying to your side,
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And I just I mean,
Speaker 1: he did a solid for you put on that's my

Speaker 1: break right and brother that told me he was like,
Speaker 1: it's not a drug, it's a chemical. True. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, I don't look at psychedelics as drugs exactly,
Speaker 1: it's a so and DNT is actually organism. It is
Speaker 1: a living organism. You know what I'm saying. Your body
Speaker 1: produces it naturally, you know what I'm saying. So when
Speaker 1: I did that, it was off a dad brig and
Speaker 1: I felt like spirits trying and bring me to another round,
Speaker 1: but I didn't go. I was scared, like I felt weird.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, this is wild. But ever since then,
Speaker 1: I've just been tapped in with like just the spirit
Speaker 1: round and just like just everything around me, just the energy,
Speaker 1: you know, spirit, you feel me, spirituality, all that type
Speaker 1: of stuff you feel me zing for real, like going zam.
Speaker 1: I got homies WO do DMT like twice a year
Speaker 1: where just to kind of like freshen up there. Fucking yeah.
Speaker 1: I know people that do like heroic swoon those like
Speaker 1: they'll take the heroes do crazy. I can't do that
Speaker 1: right now because I'm in like artists mode. I gotta
Speaker 1: like be socializing stuff, gotta be super sharp. Everything you know,
Speaker 1: done a hero's dose. I dodn't dig crazy doses, but
Speaker 1: not a hero's dose. No, not no six seven. I
Speaker 1: mean maybe, but I was probably young, Like, you gotta understand, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm in the mix since I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: even remember, bro, but like all that when I was younger.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't remember. Microdosing is definitely a productive
Speaker 1: thing too, because you can microdose and be super sharp.
Speaker 1: I know people micro does when they work out. When
Speaker 1: I was doing it, they wasn't on that type. It's
Speaker 1: like everybody was like, oh, it's still like tripped out,
Speaker 1: Like nobody was talking about that type of stuff to like,
Speaker 1: I feel like a couple of years ago. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got like two friends who before they work out, they'll
Speaker 1: just take a micro dose, and that shit is like
Speaker 1: taking pre workout for them. It's kind of crazy. How
Speaker 1: y'all be doing that? For sure? People go to school
Speaker 1: off and now and stuff like that. For you, how
Speaker 1: would you kind of describe the new music you're making? Man?
Speaker 1: Just new, experimental, tripped out, turned up you feel me
Speaker 1: and just experiment. Like there's so many different sounds I've
Speaker 1: been working on, so I can't really explain it in
Speaker 1: a couple of words. It is you got to listen
Speaker 1: and experience it. It's really an experience. Do you feel
Speaker 1: like you know, being that this is your first music independently.
Speaker 1: Do you kind of feel like there's like some sort
Speaker 1: of freedom to the way you recorded this music as
Speaker 1: opposed to before. Yeah, I mean I always would freestyle.
Speaker 1: A lot of my music, Like most of my music
Speaker 1: that you heard is freestyle, just punching in line by line,
Speaker 1: like the X song jet Lad A lot of most
Speaker 1: of the songs you heard, except for like Overwhelming. I
Speaker 1: wrote that, but I wrote that in like fifteen minutes crazy,
Speaker 1: So like a lot of this is like off the
Speaker 1: top of my head. And I feel like you make
Speaker 1: the best music when you're not like overthinking it, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like when I overthink, sometimes I
Speaker 1: can't even make a song because that's what creates brightest black.
Speaker 1: So you'll just like get in the booth, will you
Speaker 1: lay down the melody and then punching the lyrics. I'll punch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it depends. It's all about how I'm feeling, what beat
Speaker 1: it is, you know, Like it all depends on the vibe.
Speaker 1: Like if the vibe, if the vibe is right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be able to make the song just like that
Speaker 1: because I just feel it. It's almost like a spirit
Speaker 1: possessing me while I'm in the booth and then it
Speaker 1: just let it out, you know, because sometimes I say stuff,
Speaker 1: I'll be like, damn, how I even think of that?
Speaker 1: And that's why I like freestyling, because it's off the
Speaker 1: top of your head. So you're more free, you more
Speaker 1: open up, more new idea. Right for sure? If you
Speaker 1: were not a rapper, what do you think you'd be doing? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, I'll probably running around doing bullshit.
Speaker 1: Take that out, okay, not like what you literally be doing.
Speaker 1: What would you want to be doing? Like when you
Speaker 1: were like before you started to pop up as a kid,
Speaker 1: did you have like any other dreams besides being a rapper? Kid?
Speaker 1: I used to want to be a YouTuber, Like I
Speaker 1: always knew I wanted to like do something like that
Speaker 1: would so either way, you wanted to be kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, in the entertainment business in some capacity for sure,
Speaker 1: because I always used to well, I just knew how
Speaker 1: to go get some bread. Like I would always see
Speaker 1: like YouTubers making money and stuff, and I'm like, right,
Speaker 1: I'm eleven making all these different YouTube accounts. I probably
Speaker 1: like five to ten YouTube counts. I'm doing gaming, I'm
Speaker 1: doing vlogs. I'm doing anything right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: which is now crazy because that's now because that's what
Speaker 1: everybody else is doing, right. But I'm back when like
Speaker 1: Pautie Pie and like uh my, you know, like back
Speaker 1: in those days, like when everybody was on YouTube watching
Speaker 1: that type of stuff. So that now is like it's
Speaker 1: kids really making money off this. I would tell them like,
Speaker 1: and nobody would believe back then, Like you can still
Speaker 1: get on Twitch. Yeah, hello, rappers on Twitch, want me
Speaker 1: on that? But I don't play the game like that
Speaker 1: no more. You don't play games right now. I'll be
Speaker 1: in the studio every day, bro, Like I don't. What's
