Speaker 2: ge getting some money, but they got a real no
Speaker 2: drug say zero drugs at school and that shit coming
Speaker 2: like ten charges that you don't even know nothing back.
Speaker 1: So when you're at that age, did you have an
Speaker 1: idea on what you wanted to do with your life.
Speaker 2: As a youngster. No, I wanted to play ball. I
Speaker 2: wanted to play ball. I really had a dream in basketball.
Speaker 2: And then once I told I was no good, it
Speaker 2: fought me up. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So who told you were no good?
Speaker 2: A coach? I think you still living a nigga ain't comet.
Speaker 1: He was playing at high school and it was.
Speaker 2: Just like, yeah, I went to another high school when
Speaker 2: I got kicked out of my first high school, I
Speaker 2: went to another high school and there was a little
Speaker 2: bit more advanced. You know how certain school be more advanced.
Speaker 2: So you good over here, but over here you ain't
Speaker 2: really that good. You know what I'm saying. The boys
Speaker 2: advance and like you're playing in the country and you're like,
Speaker 2: but he nigga died. He's so sorry. Did you come
Speaker 2: into city? You like, but you you need to go
Speaker 2: back to the country. You don't get a better chance
Speaker 2: at the country. So that type of I understood that
Speaker 2: once I got older, because at car we were just
Speaker 2: starting the school and in the particular school that I
Speaker 2: was at, at School of the Arts, I kind of
Speaker 2: had like the best jump shot, you know, I had
Speaker 2: the best potential that could represent that school. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. You know, I like you, maybe all right,
Speaker 2: but if we need a team, we're gonna at least
Speaker 2: start with you. You know what I'm saying. We ain't got
Speaker 2: to train you. You know what I'm saying. But when
Speaker 2: I went over there to made them balls over there,
Speaker 2: like the boy go to summer league and all this
Speaker 2: extra shit, and I'm like, oh yeah, I ain't do
Speaker 2: the summer league programs and all that. I just waited
Speaker 2: to basketball season to come around. Y'all niggas do this
Speaker 2: ship year round. While I'm playing baseball, you still playing basketball.
Speaker 2: So it was like, oh yeah, and Once that shit happened,
Speaker 2: it was just like, all right, I'm in the streets
Speaker 2: for real, Like, all right, what did they to do?
Speaker 2: Because I thought it was gonna be basketball? And since
Speaker 2: it ain't basketball, and what what did you say? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I started saying cocaine fifteen sixteen years old. I saw
Speaker 2: cocaine the next week.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're still in school, though, Yeah, okay, so you're
Speaker 1: in school, you're selling cocaine your basketball teams. Okay.
Speaker 2: So it like he took my dreams and put them
Speaker 2: in the ball like space jam and boot it that bitch,
Speaker 2: and I ain't never seen it again. I just I've
Speaker 2: been sorry. I go on to the basketball court. You
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, I play like I believe him. I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's what you were talking about. It wasn't gonna never
Speaker 2: make it. So it was like, yeah, but that's why
Speaker 2: I don't crush people dreams now, because I done been
Speaker 2: in like certain situations where I know what they feel like.
Speaker 2: I can't cruse nobody dreams. As a child, it was
Speaker 2: it was crazy that they had to be that real
Speaker 2: and that harsh, you know what I'm saying. But it
Speaker 2: was good that I had at an early age, because
Speaker 2: somebody who may think they're strong probably went through that.
Speaker 2: Like at twenty five, you feel, men, they don't even
Speaker 2: know how to deal with that shit. You're thinking, you
Speaker 2: read it, you feel I'm saying, but I had to
Speaker 2: deal with that shit at an early age, like somebody
Speaker 2: telling me some shit that I believed in since I
Speaker 2: was a child and tell me that I was no
Speaker 2: good and then I wasn't gonna be shit with it,
Speaker 2: and it was just like find something else to do.
Speaker 2: It was like, I ain't never heard that in my life,
Speaker 2: you know, And once that happened, I was just like,
Speaker 2: all right. I was always open minded to doing new
Speaker 2: ship if this don't work. So I've been like that
Speaker 2: since fifteen. If this don't work, I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2: If that don't work, I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1: So what made the drugs not work?
Speaker 2: I ain't say that didn't work.
Speaker 1: Well, you you pivoted out of it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it just wasn't for me, okay, So what.
Speaker 1: Was the thing that made it not for you?
Speaker 2: It was just God telling me it wasn't for me.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: It was just you gotta be you gotta be paying
Speaker 2: attention when when you go through shit and he make
Speaker 2: you sit still and it's a it's a time of reflection,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. You have to really reflect
Speaker 2: and try to make sure that your next move is
Speaker 2: your best move. You know what I'm saying. So the
Speaker 2: person that y'all know today and who who I become
Speaker 2: and who I am and what I stand for, was
Speaker 2: a person that was just like a right, I had
Speaker 2: a street mentality just like that, Like how I'm so
Speaker 2: adamant by doing this. I was adamant in the street.
Speaker 2: I was adamant, like I won't to see a drugs
Speaker 2: Like if we got to meet the plug, I gotta
Speaker 2: learn how to whip cocaine, Like I'm trying to whatever
Speaker 2: lane there was, well, there were the money was being made.
Speaker 2: I have to learn that and be that and do that.
Speaker 2: And I got stabbed up in twenty thirteen and I
Speaker 2: had to sit down and really just reflect on my
Speaker 2: life and figure it out. And that's when Divine and
Speaker 2: the Comedy came about. You know, when I had nothing,
Speaker 2: God knew that I had to take my hands away
Speaker 2: because you have see a dope.
Speaker 1: Hand yetta, is that where you got hurt?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got stabbed bright here, and I got stabbed
Speaker 2: over here, and I got stabbed in my back. Okay,
Speaker 2: so it was like I was in the cast for
Speaker 2: a couple months, long time. But it's like when you
Speaker 2: when you break bones and you shatter bones and you
Speaker 2: cut things, that's along recuperation, Like that's a long especially
Speaker 2: when you have to relearn to use things. You can
Speaker 2: sit there and be like, I'm gonna get my feeling back,
Speaker 2: but you don't get that actual muscle memory. You have
Speaker 2: to work on that, you know what I'm saying. Especially
Speaker 2: when something happened to you and then you like have
Speaker 2: to start over. You will think like, oh my han
Speaker 2: ain't gonna come back like this. No, if I wasn't
Speaker 2: doing this every day, I should have been just like
Speaker 2: this stuck.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: So I had to work on it. And that was
Speaker 2: a time of reflection and trying to me get my
Speaker 2: life together. And then that's when the Vine came about.
Speaker 1: You said, Vine, Vine, Vine, the infamous vine. Six second video.
Speaker 2: Six second video.
Speaker 1: Okay, so vine comes off, You're coming out of the cast.
Speaker 2: I'm still in it. My hand on woulcuperate to like
Speaker 2: two years later.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what happens with Vine.
Speaker 2: My Boy Fat and paid my Boy Money bad Mafia
Speaker 2: US twenty five hundred. We all started on that vine together.
Speaker 2: Back then it was a it was a it was
Speaker 2: a union of Atlanta viners and that was we represented
Speaker 2: Georgia at the time where people don't know. Vine was
Speaker 2: a huge thing for people that was on social media
Speaker 2: and people represent a side of town. Like people may
Speaker 2: looked at him like it was people like that was
Speaker 2: on vine. No, we was representing like like Georgia because
Speaker 2: you got Nola that's how people know, Soup of Them
Speaker 2: and Tokyo Vanity because they represented Louisiana. And now I
Speaker 2: know that because I was in that area. You feel me.
Speaker 2: So it was like, who's in Louisiana popping? They was popping?
Speaker 2: Who is Georgia popper? Me and my partner's popper, And
Speaker 2: it was like, that's how keen Badge popping? Oh them,
Speaker 2: that's the West Coast niggas. Oh you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So it was like everybody was representing something and once
Speaker 2: that popped off, it was like people was following it.
Speaker 2: I ain't know how big it was. I ain't even
Speaker 2: know people was doing this on their spare time. I
Speaker 2: was selling dope. I did not know people was on
Speaker 2: the internet looking at video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Vine was a very challenging application because it
Speaker 1: was six seconds to get It wasn't a six second
Speaker 1: how long was it was?
Speaker 2: It was six seconds. You gotta also understand. And that's
Speaker 2: crazy that I think about like that. I wasn't paying
Speaker 2: attention to none of that ship. So you weren't on
Speaker 2: socials at all? No, No, I was on social but
Speaker 2: I'm like Facebook checking d M hoping somebody said something.
Speaker 2: And then like like it was that type ship, like
Speaker 2: you know, that regular life ship, Like did she write
Speaker 2: back ass niggas?
Speaker 4: That was?
Speaker 2: That was me? You know what I mean? Like, what
Speaker 2: what is that to do on Facebook? Besides scroll on
Speaker 2: your feet? Yeah, but that's I'm gonna sit down and
Speaker 2: do that later on. But we're not recording no videos
Speaker 2: on them. I know. I'm in the streets, man, this
Speaker 2: ship is telling on yourself. What am I recording?
Speaker 1: So you in the streets? You adopted divine platform.
Speaker 2: I was nervous.
Speaker 1: You were nervous, big.
Speaker 2: Over here, Like I know you're talking, but you hurry up.
Speaker 1: So you're on the buying. Was it hard to adopt
Speaker 1: the six second comedy.
Speaker 2: It was hard to adopt doing that ship anyway, because
Speaker 2: I ain't know what that ship was.
Speaker 1: Were you editing videos or just shooting in that's just
Speaker 1: six seconds.
Speaker 2: It ain't no time. We can't edit them. It was
Speaker 2: like La the La Cruise be editing. But we knew
Speaker 2: we was different from them. I told my part and
Speaker 2: I said, hey, bro, they're great at this, Like they're
Speaker 2: already sitting a standard in the mark of saying all right,
Speaker 2: there's a level to get to. But look, bro, were
Speaker 2: in the hood. Bro, we can't flip no call. I
Speaker 2: told my band. I said, Bro, we can't be coming
Speaker 2: up with sh thinking we're gonna flip a car and
Speaker 2: then hoping we get somebody to edit it. That's gonna flip. No, nigga.
Speaker 2: I got roaches in my house. I'm gonna show them
Speaker 2: these roaches that I can flip. Ain't God damn, that's
Speaker 2: what they gonna get. And when I did it and
Speaker 2: were like, look at the roads, was likely so fascinated
Speaker 2: about its rope. I was like, I got some long
Speaker 2: so like, I was just fascinated that they was fascinated
Speaker 2: by this ship, like they've never been in the UOD
Speaker 2: and I would just open up the door, just like
Speaker 2: what this hood life was about. But how we can
Speaker 2: just keep our You know what I'm saying, humility about ship.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying like we were good. The
Speaker 2: way you look at us is like those guys over there,
Speaker 2: they're in the ghetto and there's some thugs and I'm like, nah, nigga,
Speaker 2: we really be laughing and ship off, buddy. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: feel like, look at this ship. Now you're intrigued because
Speaker 2: I'm showing you a day in the life of what
Speaker 2: did Like if you've watched me and you follow me,
Speaker 2: I literally showed you a day in the life of
Speaker 2: my life. Yeah, I showed you how it started, from
Speaker 2: where it started to where I am. Now these motherfucker
Speaker 2: being in my goddamn face.
Speaker 1: So you're doing successful, You're starting to pick up on buying.
Speaker 1: What's your next place? We go to Instagram because the
Speaker 1: time is long, time is longer. And not only that,
Speaker 1: it was like, weren't nobody over there, nobody and this
Speaker 1: is before vine falls off complete and they.
Speaker 2: Really weren't falling off. It was just they had other
Speaker 2: apps that was being competitors and they was giving us
Speaker 2: more seconds, and it wasn't really no way for us
Speaker 2: to make income off of Vine like that. It was
Speaker 2: more so notoriety. And when Instagram came out, it was
Speaker 2: a little bit more faster than Vine, and the income
Speaker 2: started coming when people wanted you to come out for
Speaker 2: appearances and stuff. You're not getting called out for appearances
Speaker 2: on the Vine, but I came out this shit. You
Speaker 2: just known on one of these little social media platforms.
Speaker 2: And back then the big labels didn't really know what
Speaker 2: to do with these upcoming social media stars. They knew
Speaker 2: people from YouTube. And you gotta also understand my arranger.
Speaker 2: YouTube we're watching We're going on YouTube to watch fights, ships.
Speaker 1: Like world star type.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we ain't even going on there, but watch
Speaker 2: nothing productives not long. We got the access to go
Speaker 2: look up anything. We won't We're going on world start
Speaker 2: looking for a fight.
Speaker 1: So you're you're so you're you. You're able to take
Speaker 1: your fan base off of Vine and transfer to Instagram,
Speaker 1: which is a huge feat. Okay, so you take your
Speaker 1: fan base, you switch to Instagram, you realize that you
Speaker 1: have something. When do you actually realize that you have
Speaker 1: something enough? Well, let me backtrack. After the hand situation.
Speaker 1: You completely stopped doing deal dealing, right, Yeah, I knew
Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna do nothing, Okay, So I had to
Speaker 1: make it. I had to make a pack, not really
Speaker 1: a pack.
Speaker 2: It was just a promise to the high power that
Speaker 2: if I take these years, I ain't really gonna be
Speaker 2: setting little dope. Well I'm not gonna be setting a
Speaker 2: little dope. It took me a minute to get my
Speaker 2: like like completely stopped, probably a year. You know how,
Speaker 2: niggas still be trying to be in the street. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I'm not supposed to have my
Speaker 2: hand touching it and doing all that. You and you're
Speaker 2: not a street dealer. You're not. You can't ask me
Speaker 2: for some weed and I received money for it. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna feel so bad. I can't. I can't hand for
Speaker 2: hand through no drug transactional like that ship. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: feel horrible, you know what I'm saying. So it's like
Speaker 2: I leave that alone to become this, I guess this
Speaker 2: comedian or whatever. This is what it's working. I know
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get somebody of it, but I don't really know.
Speaker 2: I'm really trying to be a music star. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna just make a know the ride and the drop
Speaker 2: an album and then.
Speaker 1: So the goal was music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, I'm gonna get something, get signed. That's
Speaker 2: what I thought, like. I did it the second month

Speaker 2: with No, they listened to it, but they ain't get signed.
Speaker 2: That's why I was nice. Year. Maybe I do need
Speaker 2: what is this? I don't know what it is yet.

Speaker 1: So you stayed down for two and a half years
Speaker 1: and no dope dealing. So you're really so is this
Speaker 1: when you're really struggling, you're eating these beef around me.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I'm not struggling. I know how to hustle.
Speaker 2: That's the thing though I wasn't just I wasn't selling
Speaker 2: weedemailing cocaine. It was just like a r the vine
Speaker 2: was it was a it was a thing. It was
Speaker 2: a little thing on vine where you could do ads
Speaker 2: for a company or something, make a couple of dollar.
Speaker 2: Then Instagram you do a couple shout outs. Then I
Speaker 2: started being able to get booked in clubs to do appearances,
Speaker 2: so you kind of make a couple of thousand with
Speaker 2: the club appearance. So it's like, all right, I probably
Speaker 2: made three four thousand a month, three thousand that month,
Speaker 2: but it like I ain't got to say an no dout.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course you feel me.
Speaker 2: I can use this in order to do this, but
Speaker 2: I don't know how hard to go at this, and
Speaker 2: I don't even know what this is. I'm just using
Speaker 2: it right now to do enough to get by. And
Speaker 2: then once other things started coming about, like all right,
Speaker 2: you gotta learn how to do stand up.
Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be my next coming and all.
Speaker 2: That, and it was like I needed to perfect marketing
Speaker 2: myself on Instagram for me to keep going to the
Speaker 2: next level. So now I knew I'm like, okay, I'm
Speaker 2: getting booked for appearances. This is twenty fourteen and fifteen,
Speaker 2: and it's like, all right, but I gotta be a comedian.
Speaker 2: I gotta learn this. So I didn't go get no
Speaker 2: money for a whole year, just so I can be
Speaker 2: able to understand what being a comedian was. The fourteen
Speaker 2: I started doing comedy twenty fourteen, I ain't start booking
Speaker 2: shows for real to like twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Wow, So for two years you're basically just studying comedy.
Speaker 2: I'm working, I'm learning.
Speaker 1: You're learning. So are you going out every night? You're
Speaker 1: just watching old school videos.
Speaker 2: Now I'm watching videos and watching other the legends and
Speaker 2: going to already open up, pop up, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The opening I'm doing all oh every week? And how
Speaker 1: was your first time going up?
Speaker 2: My first time going up? It was a music show.
Speaker 2: They just look at me. But you got to break
Speaker 2: the ice though, So that's the thing. I broke the
Speaker 2: ice and now able to call myself a comedian because
Speaker 2: I hadn't done what comedians do. Grab the mice and
Speaker 2: try to tell Joe's from the people that you don't
Speaker 2: know right then and there. But it's like, all right,
Speaker 2: where do I go for mine, Do I continue or
Speaker 2: it's a journey. It's a journey. I remember the day
Speaker 2: I started to where I am now, Like even with
Speaker 2: the confidence and being able to go on stage with
Speaker 2: the confidence was saying I am a performer. But I
Speaker 2: remember the stages of me not understanding, like this job
Speaker 2: picked me because God wanted me to do this, and
Speaker 2: this was way quicker than any like when you do
Speaker 2: your college. Steve harbystite that he said, when you do
Speaker 2: your calling, you feel me, God bless you, abundant it
Speaker 2: you feel me like. That's why I said it was
Speaker 2: it was nothing but good came out of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Nothing When I sold dope it was bad. It was
Speaker 2: not I'm gonna say bad. It was just stressful. It
Speaker 2: was stressful.
Speaker 1: You don't feel like your life right now can be stressful.
Speaker 1: We consider stressful.
Speaker 2: No, it's not that. It's just that's why I got
Speaker 2: my hustle from. That's why you realize people that's complacent,
Speaker 2: they don't have the energy to hustle. You gotta have
Speaker 2: a certain energy to be a hustler, that undeniable determination
Speaker 2: of going to get it by any means. It could
Speaker 2: be a sense of stress if you're not strong enough
Speaker 2: to understand, like I gotta do this in order to
Speaker 2: get to the next day. Like it was a day
Speaker 2: and I ain't feel like it's inting dope. But it
Speaker 2: was like my phone ringing, I gotta get up, go
Speaker 2: down here whatever, I gotta go to the stove, got this,
Speaker 2: gotta go here. He's your cow on sleeping here. I'm
Speaker 2: hungry in here. I won't to sit down. As soon
Speaker 2: as I sit down, my phone getting wrong again. Got it?
Speaker 2: But you want some money, so.
Speaker 1: You're doing You're doing your comedy. So before this comedy,
Speaker 1: it was very clear though that this is the path
Speaker 1: you are agreed with God to take. Okay, so you're
Speaker 1: doing your comedy two years, still struggling. When's your first
Speaker 1: real big break? By the way, you're still cooking? No
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 2: I had let it be.
Speaker 1: I thought it was hot dog souper and.
Speaker 2: I let it come down. But didn't need a little water.
Speaker 1: And when you cook at home right.
Speaker 2: Like this, when I cook, no I have. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: can't cook. Once I did this, I feel like I
Speaker 2: ain't learned nothing. Now what you got in, I ain't
Speaker 2: did nothing. You gotta gotta meet it in, can't put
Speaker 2: it all in that once. Just who are you?
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to I'm like watching. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. When I was coming to Atlanta, all
Speaker 1: I could think was, I can't wait to see d
Speaker 1: C cook something you could ask Ryan, you can ask
Speaker 1: anybody behind the scenes. I was like, I just want
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 2: D C cook with I ain't understand.
Speaker 1: No, you do all the sound face. This is a
Speaker 1: very special experience right there. That's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna make a tape even in the mind.
Speaker 1: So my question was, Okay, you're you made it. You
Speaker 1: made it through your two years. What's your next big
Speaker 1: break because you had a lot.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm still working on it technically. The next year,
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, I get booked for Wild I'm Out,
Speaker 2: And then that was the the beginning of the industry break.
Speaker 2: I had the social media break with Vine and Instagram.
Speaker 2: But then now it's like the industry break.
Speaker 1: It was like, now, did Nick reach out to you
Speaker 1: or did you audition?
Speaker 2: I was. I was on the management team at the
Speaker 2: time called Archive Nation. We had young Thug and he
Speaker 2: name with Hudson and you know what I'm saying that
Speaker 2: it was a great management team at the time, and
Speaker 2: they had e mail Hudson and he had an audition,
Speaker 2: and just so happened that they knew that I was
Speaker 2: around and was around with the same team, and it
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, you know what I'm saying, we got
Speaker 2: walk up audition too. So I ended up going to
Speaker 2: do the audition and Nick was there and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know you know what I'm saying. Let me see something.
Speaker 2: Did Ship? He was like, all right, we'll do this.
Speaker 2: Did Ship? It was like cool, I ain't hit nothing
Speaker 2: from it hit him back, you know, I ain't think
Speaker 2: I made it, but it was just the experience that
Speaker 2: I was proud of. Like, damn, I just front cannon.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, This ship drawn shouting, you know.
Speaker 2: And a couple of days later then I know you
Speaker 2: had he got he had got flown out to go
Speaker 2: start working and then they called like two days later.
Speaker 2: We're like we're on DC too.
Speaker 1: Ah, what was where were you at when you got
Speaker 1: the call?
Speaker 2: I was at the management office, and you know, it
Speaker 2: had no settled in but it was just like, you know,
Speaker 2: I got their hunger. I got their hunger, you know
Speaker 2: from the streets that you know, you always want an opportunity,
Speaker 2: and when you when you get the opportunity, like, man,
Speaker 2: for sure, I'm just show out, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like I don't get fun for the show out. Whatever
Speaker 2: I got due, I'm gonna show out. I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: you my all. You know what I'm saying. Ain't learning
Speaker 2: at the same time, But I know it's a reason
Speaker 2: why you're there. So you got to know why you there.
Speaker 2: You feel me, That's why I'm getting with people don't
Speaker 2: want to be great, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 2: it's a certain energy that you got to put out
Speaker 2: there to be Like, man, I want to do this
Speaker 2: ship to last for a long time, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. And I ain't doing this ship because I
Speaker 2: know I'm deserving. Man, ain't none of this ship belonged
Speaker 2: to me or deserving. You don't deserve none of this shit.
Speaker 2: You look around, the blessing not only on you anyway,
Speaker 2: God blessing everybody that's around you. You had the only
Speaker 2: want that work, you know what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 2: like you got to take your opportunity and go crazy
Speaker 2: with it, you know what I'm saying, Because you know
Speaker 2: what you would.
Speaker 1: Just remember, Yeah, I did, Like Nigga, this is different.
Speaker 2: Like you're literally living the new stages of your life.
Speaker 2: But I'm not not used to it because I was
Speaker 2: gonna be in entertainment because I come from theater and
Speaker 2: I was gonna do music and act. It's it's just
Speaker 2: the difference of the renaissance. Now, no, you're not doing
Speaker 2: music first. No you're not gonna act. Just yeah, you're
Speaker 2: gonna be a comedian.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, like the order was, it was just

Speaker 2: was a new job description. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I was funny. You were probably figured it out in
Speaker 2: a movie or so. But I wasn't gonna be no

Speaker 2: would have played a funny role in a movie. Well
Speaker 2: you were like, well you funny, but I wouldn't have been.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you this. I admired that I did
Speaker 1: not know that part of your story. But I admire

Speaker 1: you mean by that?
Speaker 2: Show the world what you want to want to know people?
Speaker 2: A lot of people expecting people to know who you are.
Speaker 2: Nobody know who you are or get.
Speaker 1: Be fun people yeah, nobody cares.
Speaker 2: After Nobody cares who you are in the industry, might
Speaker 2: gives a fuck about what you do.
Speaker 1: Nobody care what you mean.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't care all that walking in. You know
Speaker 2: who I am? What am I giving a fuck? Don't
Speaker 2: scan nobody unless you scare somebody. But you're the only
Speaker 2: motherfucker doing that. And you and you really too high?
Speaker 2: You expensive. They can't wait to pay a motherfucker cheap price.
Speaker 2: It's like selling dope. You walking in this motherfucker talking
Speaker 2: about you, the nigga with all the dope and this
Speaker 2: how high you is, and they like, but guess what,
Speaker 2: it's nigga's buying a step down bullshit. So you can
Speaker 2: get your ands up out of here because I can
Speaker 2: make a proferencying this step down shit.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I'm okay.
Speaker 2: So that's why me selling dope gave me a business mind.
Speaker 1: That was my h.
Speaker 2: What do you call that, alley hoop beginner's class until
Speaker 2: actually going to school for business. Because even when you
Speaker 2: look at all like all the north Old's and all that,
Speaker 2: I look at all that shit, they were great business man.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Your heart, your heart gotta be intact.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you what is one of the most painful
Speaker 1: lessons you learned in being in the industry?
Speaker 2: Thus far painful lesson all less shit get to me. Uh,
Speaker 2: you ain't got no friends, nobody cares who you are
Speaker 2: and what you do.
Speaker 1: That's what you learned in the industry. But now I
Speaker 1: come to eighty five South, shoutouts to everything you guys
Speaker 1: have felt here and there's so much love in this environment.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely beautiful, especially coming from La because La we
Speaker 1: don't First of all, there's no hospitality like what I've
Speaker 1: experienced here at eighty five. Is that why you built this?
Speaker 1: I would say this domain over here because you wanted
Speaker 1: a safe haven. Because this doesn't feel like industry over here.
Speaker 1: It feels like love and family.
Speaker 2: It's very structured, but it's you know when when when
Speaker 2: when God aligned you up with people, that's you know,
Speaker 2: God fearing and really have a vision and trust people.
Speaker 2: You know, you can really build anything. And I think
Speaker 2: the infrastructure on building something or how it's to be done,
Speaker 2: we really don't have no guide for it. You know
Speaker 2: a lot of people think that, oh you know, Jake
Speaker 2: three three real fabricateing shit, Like even you say how
Speaker 2: long does it take for you to make money? Tell
Speaker 2: you a long time to make some money and depending
Speaker 2: on what you think is money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was gonna be Also another question was like,
Speaker 1: what did at least when you get that first check
Speaker 1: from being broke, you were like, yo, there was had
Speaker 1: to have been that moment of like, yeah, I just.
Speaker 2: Knew what I was risking to get this money that
Speaker 2: I ain't risking no more.
Speaker 1: What do you mean are you comparing it to the drug?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying risking period. It was like, ooh
Speaker 2: I got four thousand and I didn't have to risk
Speaker 2: my life for it. You feel that's more motivation.
Speaker 1: It was like I feel like that pre that your
Speaker 1: life before is where you kind of hold that bar
Speaker 1: of everything.
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's how I that's my analogy for it all.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, this is the cocaine, this is the weed,
Speaker 2: this is the plug, Oh, this is publicskbar, this is
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, like everything has a you know,
Speaker 2: an analogy for it because I know how serious it was, like,
Speaker 2: don't put your name on bad dope. You want to
Speaker 2: have an easy sit Okay, you know what to do?
Speaker 2: Have a heart seal. Okay, you know when it's slow. Okay,
Speaker 2: you know when it's feed up.
Speaker 1: Okay, but that's your measuring tool.
Speaker 2: That's my measuring tool and the business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you have this other measuring tool when
Speaker 1: it comes to God and spiritually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can always have a great heart and
Speaker 2: great character so you won't become wicked in the world.
Speaker 2: Because but I'm also thankful that I'm not in the
Speaker 2: streets because I'd have been a very not likable person. Okay,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like y'all know me, And
Speaker 2: then it's crazy because like even when in high school,
Speaker 2: you see me, I'm winning class, clown and all that.
Speaker 2: But it's like my friends know me for that. My
Speaker 2: peers may have seen me in there. You know, you
Speaker 2: know me for that. But if I don't know, you
Speaker 2: ain't speaking. I ain't really you know, I ain't really.
Speaker 2: I'm not really a friendly person, you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: like he hare No, no, no, I'm not just attracting
Speaker 2: energy that I don't know. I don't really don't want
Speaker 2: to be involved. I really don't want to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you taking the time to do this show.
Speaker 2: No, definitely, I appreciate you. Man, you've seen this great meal.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I made a mess your
Speaker 2: shit so clean over there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank god I didn't take the bite of the beef.
Speaker 1: Do you want my little beef piece? I'm already even
Speaker 1: know what you stay loving that season?
Speaker 2: That's right now?
Speaker 1: During the pandemic, yeah, ain't nobody to go to work?

Speaker 1: money from Wall God, I ain't had no damn money
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. I ain't had no money. That was

Speaker 2: I ain't no money. Now you know what you got by?
Speaker 2: You know you know how to live. We know how
Speaker 2: to live by. It means you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: I know what I need. I know how much to eat.
Speaker 1: Did you build this infrastructure during the pandemic or was
Speaker 1: it in process prior to this?
Speaker 2: Right here is a collective of people created. We did
Speaker 2: it to be in this way like everybody.
Speaker 1: Else do where are you doing this during the pandemic
Speaker 1: or prior to the pandemic?
Speaker 2: What you just said twenty four.
Speaker 1: You're looking to Ryan for the answer. Ryan, what's the answer?
Speaker 2: No, mm hmmm, probably like towards the end, man like one,
Speaker 2: because the pandemic was a long time. The people depending
Speaker 2: on how long your pandemic was my pandemic. I ain't
Speaker 2: had no pandemic.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess in Atlanta, apparently you guys were only
Speaker 1: shut down for three weeks. Up here, we were shut
