Speaker 1: I feel like this album to me, for you is
Speaker 1: like a statement. Yeah was it that? Yeah? Bro? I
Speaker 1: feel like, man, you gotta make your point. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And a nigga real bombed the Native
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I already do this shit
Speaker 1: for my city, you know what I'm saying, and my culture,

Speaker 1: a nigga really come from Spruce Street, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. The block. You know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: along with a couple other people, you feel me. But
Speaker 1: it's different from me because I really was running my
Speaker 1: fucker running around doing some shit. That's sort of thing
Speaker 1: right right right, So I just have to just tell
Speaker 1: my story of what I was doing and me going
Speaker 1: through the shootings and all types of different shit. You feel.
Speaker 1: I do feel like one thing I've always appreciated about you, Slim,
Speaker 1: is wherever I be at I see you. I might
Speaker 1: be in San Diego F six DJ's hood ass ship,
Speaker 1: and you be there probably four five niggas right in

Speaker 1: nowhere because because you be everywhere that part man, So
Speaker 1: people want to talk. Man, say that bulletit about a nigga. Man.
Speaker 1: But after I even after I got shot, you feel me.
Speaker 1: That's about fifteen what fifteen days after I shot, I'm
Speaker 1: back outside. You feels about two years ago, a year
Speaker 1: and a half, year and a half now it was
Speaker 1: about a year and a half. Yeah, straight to the
Speaker 1: studio became a walk proper. But I'm outside, you feel me.
Speaker 1: It's crazy because when you go through a situation like
Speaker 1: what you went through, it has to kind of put
Speaker 1: things in perspective, does it kind of give you like
Speaker 1: a does it check you to kind of re re
Speaker 1: check what your priorities are in life? Now how you
Speaker 1: live in I used to be living reckless. You feel
Speaker 1: me this straight up. I'm gonna keep one hundred. But
Speaker 1: now it's like a having some couple of people with
Speaker 1: me in my extra eyes in and out. You feel me.
Speaker 1: Ain't no lollygagging as far as drinking liquor drinking around
Speaker 1: my homies, not being beligion in public because with people
Speaker 1: you don't know that, that's when you get caught slipping
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Bro. Yeah, I feel like when
Speaker 1: you got shot, I was like, fuck, I feel like
Speaker 1: I just saw you in San Diego, like not too
Speaker 1: far before. I was like, damn, I hope the homie
Speaker 1: pulls through you getting shot. I feel did you? Did you?
Speaker 1: Cause when something like that happens to you in life,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of people hitting you up
Speaker 1: who might not have been talking to you prior. Did
Speaker 1: you notice some some some fake energy shit coming around
Speaker 1: like during that time, Because whenever some shit like that happens,
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody's gonna come after Woodworks make sure
Speaker 1: they check in, but it's like where were you at,
Speaker 1: like a month ago type shit. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know that come with this rap shit.
Speaker 1: You feel me. That should a rap game. Half of
Speaker 1: the shit fake, but for the most part, you feel me.
Speaker 1: My real ones that I already had songs with, or
Speaker 1: really no personal without even have a song. They take me.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. My phones is off at
Speaker 1: that moment when I got back home, I turned it
Speaker 1: on and shit study ringing. It's like, all right, I
Speaker 1: like that from the people that I really mess with thoroughly,
Speaker 1: but you know all the rap shit now you feel me.
Speaker 1: They pulled through, pulled through, I let you blood, and
Speaker 1: that's the fake shit. So it's fifty to fifty man.
Speaker 1: I try to weak it off. You know what I
Speaker 1: mean by this, being respectful but knowing that they're gonna
Speaker 1: fuck with me like that or like you weren't even
Speaker 1: caring about my situation even when I was doing prior
Speaker 1: to this. You feel me, So I take it run
Speaker 1: with it, man, you feel yeah, Man, I feel like
Speaker 1: the rap game is so finicky. Man. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of associates, but not a lot of friends. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. In this game, bro, not like that.
Speaker 1: But you don't got no friends in this game. You
Speaker 1: already know what it is you see. You might see
Speaker 1: someone at the club be like, Yo, let's do something,
Speaker 1: and you never hear from them, my nigga, until you
Speaker 1: run into them again, until you run into them again
Speaker 1: in the same shit. Yeah, let's say you know what
Speaker 1: it is. That shuit happened a lot that shit. Man. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't do that ship. That's why. That's what's the
Speaker 1: difference between me and other people is like I hold
Speaker 1: it down and make it, make it my word of
Speaker 1: like what I'm gonna say, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it. You feel me like like a lot of
Speaker 1: people just you know, they just just talk a good one.
Speaker 1: So get take me back to the moment you got shot, man,
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's gotta be a pillow a
Speaker 1: moment and anyone's life when someone tries to take your
Speaker 1: life and you survive, Like, you know, what do you
Speaker 1: recollect from that day? Like that moment that all the
Speaker 1: crazy shit I was doing, like I said, loaded riding
Speaker 1: around the city just for nothing. You feel me, I
Speaker 1: was just coming from my folks house. But I could
Speaker 1: have left got the freetway and got to got Ye.
Speaker 1: Study wanted to just ride around and I don't know,
Speaker 1: like what's something meant to happen is gonna happen? So
Speaker 1: I was over there and you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: And that's what it happened like that, And my life
Speaker 1: is just flashy for my bro I've seen people that
Speaker 1: I really be cool with, really hang away family members.
Speaker 1: It's just like I blacked out. You feel me, like
Speaker 1: from the gun shells and I'm just seeing my life
Speaker 1: like this crazy shit. But it's like it's like that's
Speaker 1: when you see the lot you feel. That's what's crazy
Speaker 1: is they always say right before there's a some shit
Speaker 1: called uh dimensionally what is d MT. I don't know
Speaker 1: what DMT stands for, but there's a chemical called d MT.
Speaker 1: You have it when you're born and right before you die,
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to like when people say they see
Speaker 1: the light, that's supposed to be what they see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's there's a way you could smoke. There's like
Speaker 1: you could smoke d MT to feel that. Now if
Speaker 1: you wanted to try to like go through some ship
Speaker 1: did you feel like when you come out on the
Speaker 1: other side of it, you're in the hospital, Ben, did
Speaker 1: you feel like you went through some shit that kind
Speaker 1: of maybe changed your life. Yeah, Like at the moment,
Speaker 1: I think about my daughter, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: my mama, my close friends, peers. It's like, damn, it
Speaker 1: can be over, you know what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 1: a mind thing. You feel me going through that. I
Speaker 1: bounced out of it and I just told myself, like
Speaker 1: the ignorance I was doing, I'm gonna stop. I gotta
Speaker 1: be more like like hands on about my life, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and not like fun and games,
Speaker 1: and I mean, like shit is real and that sh
Speaker 1: would have been over. It's like it was over all

Speaker 1: so many eras of his career ups and downs and
Speaker 1: ship ups and downs, new management, all kinds of shit
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, I think I think you know, being
Speaker 1: as I always looked at YG, Mustard and Tie as
Speaker 1: like our our generation Snoop and Dragon r Bro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was crazy because I mean I remember meeting
Speaker 1: YG in two thousand and nine or ten when Tutor
Speaker 1: and Buddha came out Him, Tie and Bobby Brackens. You
Speaker 1: remember that tour. It was the Young and X Rated
Speaker 1: or young, I don't know. They was on tour and
Speaker 1: Bobby Brackens was the biggest hardest on the tour. How
Speaker 1: crazy is that? That's wow? I was like that was
Speaker 1: that was really the homie like no, no, no no, and
Speaker 1: sho Bobby. He's a great dude. Just fucking I love
Speaker 1: that dude. But like, it's crazy that was fucking eleven
Speaker 1: years ago and he was the biggest artist on the tour.
Speaker 1: Tye was a nobody. Yeah, I didn't even realize he
Speaker 1: was the dude on the Tutor and Buddha fucking record.
Speaker 1: And why she's a kid? You know what I'm saying? What, like,
Speaker 1: what did you learn from being around? Just because I
Speaker 1: do feel like we've literally witnessed an entire generation of
Speaker 1: West Coast music progressed through our eyes that you've been
Speaker 1: a part of. Yeah, what you what did you learn
Speaker 1: from being a being a witness to that because that's history. Bro. Yeah,

Speaker 1: crad bro. Just watching them in a sense of you know,
Speaker 1: making bees. You know what I'm saying. Tome make bees,
Speaker 1: mustle made bees. So I'm just sitting there watching them.
Speaker 1: How they put together some shit and a real song,
Speaker 1: making a real song, you know what I'm saying. Or
Speaker 1: they changed up the whole verse, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Or that's just sound tight, but we got to change
Speaker 1: this line. It's just they perfect their ship to the
Speaker 1: point where it ain't just know all I'm done with it.

Speaker 1: looking at them work, the way they work is just
Speaker 1: like tiding me up, Like all right, I worked a
Speaker 1: different way, bro, but it made me a better worker

Speaker 1: and details and ship real ship. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of people that will do a record and they'll
Speaker 1: be like, all right, cool, we on it. The next one.
Speaker 1: They might go back in and make a sound on
Speaker 1: the beat. You can add some string. That type of ship.

Speaker 1: think of people who come to LA to visit and
Speaker 1: how Compton has become like a thing worldwide, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, feel like in LA like South Central content,
Speaker 1: but Compton is like it's like an iconic hood in
Speaker 1: the entire world. Everybody gotta count you gotta just you
Speaker 1: can go buy a content visit or you can buy
Speaker 1: a Compton hat in Australia. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: is that something that do you consider that to be
Speaker 1: a gift or a curse because you know people might
Speaker 1: not understand what that means, what all comes with that.
Speaker 1: It's it's a curse, you know what I mean, a
Speaker 1: gift at the same time because comptent is so wild
Speaker 1: you feel me in haters, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And the politics, the gang violence, shit like that. So
Speaker 1: you can get caught up in that, you feel I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and you can go to jail. You can be dead,
Speaker 1: you see, and it got shot. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: shit come with it. But the name is itself comped
Speaker 1: in the city from Easy and Them and all that time. Man,
Speaker 1: it's fucking straight out of content. I love it. I
Speaker 1: gotta see it. So it's a good thing. It's a
Speaker 1: bad thing. Bro Let me ask you something. When you
Speaker 1: watch something like uh, like the like the NW a movie, right,
Speaker 1: and that's like a movie that's like really based around
Speaker 1: your area. And uh again, it's being consumed on a
Speaker 1: very large scale. There's white kids in England watching straight
Speaker 1: out of com like you feel good and like you
Speaker 1: know what, Like, look, let's be honest. Compton's the most
Speaker 1: famous area in LA outside of Hollywood. It's people come
Speaker 1: to LA and if they're like, yo, I want to
Speaker 1: go to Compton, you know what that means. Right? But
Speaker 1: you have some people that come to Los Angeles and
Speaker 1: this depending on who they are, they feel like they
Speaker 1: just encomped because they I don't know, you be in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: so I want to go to the hood. That's what
Speaker 1: I wanted to get you right there. You know, everybody
Speaker 1: comes to LA, they go to Hollywood, they come to
Speaker 1: the Valley. That's all they do. They go to Lax,
Speaker 1: to Hollywood, they do the little West Hollywood Ship, they
Speaker 1: do Melrose, all that. They get back on the freeway,
Speaker 1: they get back on that four or five. They go
Speaker 1: back to Lax to go home. The split something. I
Speaker 1: ain't saying nothing, but it ain't seen nothing. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about like what like Okay, obviously for anybody watching
Speaker 1: this way from LA, the valley is not La. Hell No,
Speaker 1: if you from San Fernando, if you're from it's in
Speaker 1: Sino North Hollywood. God bless you. That's not La. Hollywood
Speaker 1: is not LA. What is real LA? What you gotta
Speaker 1: say like like south Central? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like like all of the down shit Main and Broadway,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. I feel like there's just this big
Speaker 1: disconnect from people who come and visit and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in LA, but like but were you were
Speaker 1: you at like Tokyo Madera in West Hollywood, Like it's
Speaker 1: not the same thing. I'd say. They just say that
Speaker 1: shit this to be saying. The most LA you were
Speaker 1: at was when you landed at La X, the suburb
Speaker 1: part of it. It's crazy, right, But Nah, nigga's in
Speaker 1: a straight hood, Bro, they know what's happening. Who do
Speaker 1: you consider real friends in this rap game? Because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people we talked to earlier, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of associates, a lot of people you see at
Speaker 1: the club, you might see a playhouse whatever, But who's
Speaker 1: like some real homies in the rap game? For some
Speaker 1: four hundred and mom and Mom, I feel like like
Speaker 1: I can't really say, bro, I don't want to, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to just say some bullshit, bro or
Speaker 1: speak on some people names and shit and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: why he mentioned my name? You feel me? So that's fair.
Speaker 1: Listen right now, you ain't got to mention everybody, but
Speaker 1: just mention a couple it comes your mind. I feel like,
Speaker 1: once again I said Gez, he a good dude. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, My nigga Yellow Beezy good dude.
Speaker 1: You feel me like niggas that be texting me, talking
Speaker 1: to me back and forth, shit like that. So I
Speaker 1: leave it like that, you feel me. It's crazy because
Speaker 1: you said g Ez, Yeah and g Ez. A lot
Speaker 1: of people might not think that of him to be
Speaker 1: just on some humble shit. Hey first watch my dog.
Speaker 1: I love that guy and I know that about him,
Speaker 1: but I don't think a lot of people understand that
Speaker 1: he's really tapped in and he'd be showing love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how'd you originally link up with him? Because a lot
Speaker 1: of peoples been been on touring ship with YG and
Speaker 1: you know this the tour with Yogttiyeh and DJ Drama,
Speaker 1: so we you know, just be back behind stage your
Speaker 1: little passes on the ship. So we running around before
Speaker 1: the show doing what we're doing, eating, going out of
Speaker 1: the you know what I mean, just doing different ship
Speaker 1: And every time he'd come across me, he'll, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, chop it up with me. See what
Speaker 1: I'm doing this asking different questions about a nigga? You
Speaker 1: feel me? It's like, Bro, he like doing this for what?
Speaker 1: But Jess a good dude. He was just like trying
Speaker 1: to see what my mind was. And I know it's
Speaker 1: like I'm about to reach out to him for this song.
Speaker 1: But this like years after our relationship, so we already
Speaker 1: kind of built it, so he didn't have no prom
Speaker 1: of doing this shit for me. You feel me? That's dope?
Speaker 1: All right? Let me know were you at this show?
Speaker 1: Celebrity Theater, Phoenix, Arizona, Bustard d Jane. I'm hosting the concert.
Speaker 1: It's about fifty local acts. YG is headlining. It ends
Speaker 1: up on World Star. People in the in the fucking
Speaker 1: in the in the crowd are banging their ship. Why
Speaker 1: did you start throwing ship at them? Mustard throw shit
Speaker 1: at them? Shit became a viral ass moment. Were you
Speaker 1: there for that shit? I want to say it was bro.
Speaker 1: I want to say it was like I was. I
Speaker 1: was with a side bitch, at the time, I'm not
Speaker 1: with the girl I was with. I can say that now.
Speaker 1: That was with a little side bitch at the Celebrity theater.
Speaker 1: And then like the promoter. You know how these promoters be.
Speaker 1: They put fifty local acts on charge, each of them
Speaker 1: having much amount of money to get their money back.
Speaker 1: So the fucking why g go is going to one
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, I'm fucking getting my dick suck
Speaker 1: backstage and I just hear shit going crazy, And then
Speaker 1: like two weeks later it's on YouTube, Ygi Mustard and like,
Speaker 1: and then there was another issue. I think, I just
Speaker 1: I know why she had a long he had a
Speaker 1: hard time getting the tour money because off the rip
Speaker 1: he had kind of like been involved a lot of bushit.
Speaker 1: Not to say it like that, but we had words
Speaker 1: with some with some crip guys out there, you saying,
Speaker 1: behind some sh sh it, And that's when all that
Speaker 1: ship took place. You know what I'm saying. He's there
Speaker 1: was some dudes in the clouds just banging their ship chairs. Yes,
Speaker 1: a type of you know what I'm talking about, the
Speaker 1: circular stage. Yeah, sh like this keeps rotating around, ye
Speaker 1: thinking you're gonna stay in one spot, but the ship
Speaker 1: keep really yup. But you walking and ready paying attention
Speaker 1: doing your thing rappings, so you ain't really notice that
Speaker 1: this ship moving. We just keep seeing nigas running around,
Speaker 1: keep shro It's crazy. That was one of the craziest
Speaker 1: shows because I remember it'd be so crazy, that's it tight.
Speaker 1: I remember seeing MUNSTERD take the laptop standing and chuck
Speaker 1: it at these fools, and I know that laptop staying
Speaker 1: the way about thirty pounds. Oh yeah, that little solid
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh shit, what the fuck just
Speaker 1: happened over here? It's crazy because I feel like you
Speaker 1: were fully a part of the I remember I always
Speaker 1: used to tell YG. I used to tell b more
Speaker 1: at this all the time, like, you know, shout out
Speaker 1: to YG. But man, early on in his career, the
Speaker 1: first four or five years, he had a real bad
Speaker 1: stigma attached to him because of shit like that at shows.
Speaker 1: What was like the craziest situation out of town. Y'all
Speaker 1: ever been a part of wherever some crazy shit, some
Speaker 1: fights and whatever the fuck. Yeah, Like you're sitting shit
Speaker 1: all the time, bro, And I feel like we was
Speaker 1: an once said we was in Miami doing some doing
Speaker 1: show and shit, and some other people got in the
Speaker 1: fight and we kind of in the mix of them.
Speaker 1: But niggas get to shoot and shit too, so it
Speaker 1: was like niggas fighting throwing chair. Then now you hitting
Speaker 1: bullet shields and shit. So I'm trying to look for
Speaker 1: the team. Makes it we all straight. But it's like
Speaker 1: you gotta like, you gotta pay attention on him. Man.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. Shit will pop off any
Speaker 1: given moment where you ain't even involved in the shit
Speaker 1: but kind of in the mix. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought what Zovia happened recently was on clubhouse. Bad Luck
Speaker 1: squashed his shit with Mustard on Clubhouse. And I remember
Speaker 1: being at south By Southwest in two thousand and it
Speaker 1: was either thirteen or fourteen, and I don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: but I know some shit happened, but it felt like
Speaker 1: why g had a lot of tension with it was
Speaker 1: with problem. Do you remember being around that era? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like Nigga was, you know, it was a
Speaker 1: it was a bompa thing, compter thing, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And niggas had words, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And it took it went far than with the post
Speaker 1: has been. But you know, people be slick talking, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But niggas over that shit now.
Speaker 1: But I feel like that that was like a perfect
Speaker 1: example of how LA street politics led into the music shit.
Speaker 1: And it's like, Yo, if we really think about back then,
Speaker 1: how fire would have been to see Problem and WYG
Speaker 1: work together, But do a whole fucking album together, like
Speaker 1: Problem had it, like both of them had some like
Speaker 1: they had it. You know what I'm saying. That era
Speaker 1: was so legendary in LA history, like Problem had Welcome
Speaker 1: to molly Wood. YG had just read up like it
Speaker 1: was a whole movement, and both of them from the
Speaker 1: same city, and it was some LA politics shit sometimes
Speaker 1: gets in the way of some historical ship. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like with LA the politics sometimes, because you know,
Speaker 1: I just had this conversation with with Big U and Whack.
Speaker 1: We're talking about how sometimes the LA politics have gotten
Speaker 1: in the way of some real historical shit happened in
Speaker 1: hip hop, Yeah, money and all that type of yeah,
Speaker 1: because it might not be rapper A and rapper B
Speaker 1: having a real problem with each other. It's not about that.
Speaker 1: It's about the politics and flow to run around them
Speaker 1: and above that, you know what I'm saying. Me being
Speaker 1: an artists, I hang with a certain crew. This artist
Speaker 1: hang with a certain crew, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's like they be having inter b so it's
Speaker 1: looking like it's an artist thing, but we need the friends.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it ain't even about like you might not
Speaker 1: even have a problem with the guy, but it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I might be from here and you might be from here.
Speaker 1: So because of that, like this and this don't mesh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh you had a record with bad Luck. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: fall love. I mean that's what I'm saying. We got
Speaker 1: we cool, it's just it's falling out behind other ships.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well I thought it was dope, but I
Speaker 1: just thought it was real dope to see bad Luck
Speaker 1: and Uh and Mustard get on clubhouse and out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's like we're talking about some serious eras of
Speaker 1: l A hip hop, Like you know, Problem might not
Speaker 1: have had had and I know Problem could have signed
Speaker 1: with anyone at that when when Problem was was fucking
Speaker 1: lit out here, everyone offered him a deal. But like
Speaker 1: to think he had that whole like side of LA
Speaker 1: hip hop. And then YG I mean YG we're talking
Speaker 1: about now, he's one of them. I look at YG
Speaker 1: like our our modern day Snoop. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If Kendrick is Dre, YG is Snoop, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I just think that, uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: always thought that was like an and and what's cool
Speaker 1: about that though, too is I dont feel like it
Speaker 1: ever really kind of bled through the music too much,
Speaker 1: kind of minus it was minus ship that was said
Speaker 1: and spoke on here and there and certain little disc
Speaker 1: songs and you know what I mean, mindus shit. But yeah,
Speaker 1: for the most part, it didn't get too out of
Speaker 1: out of hand. So any out bomping is out. This
Speaker 1: is you've been staying independent shout out to Empire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why stay independent? Why I mean and and and and
Speaker 1: mind you you got Ice Water Records, so kind of
Speaker 1: give me the rundown of what's going on moving forward.
Speaker 1: The album is out. Yeah, I feel like I'm just
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like lining myself up to
Speaker 1: be a real c excuse me, a real CEO bro
Speaker 1: and a line other people up. So as far as
Speaker 1: the label deal, I feel Nigga can signed with the
Speaker 1: major Nu'm getta twisted. But it be ship that you
Speaker 1: can't do when you used to do it, can't do
Speaker 1: what you want to do when you want to do.
Speaker 1: I want you to drop. And it's like, Bro, I
Speaker 1: know what's going on in the streets, So why would
Speaker 1: I drop that when I'm just doing it? Because you're
Speaker 1: doing it. But when I drop it on my name,
Speaker 1: the people black slim, what you're doing like, it'd be
Speaker 1: different shit when it's come another label. So being in
Speaker 1: dependent it's better because you got your layout. You can
Speaker 1: drop whatever you want whenever you won't for me. So
Speaker 1: and then you building, you know what I'm saying, you
Speaker 1: building on your own ship now looking back heres. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's like, damn, like I went
Speaker 1: from here to nothing. I mean I went from nothing
Speaker 1: or something. You know what I'm saying. Like, that's what
Speaker 1: I was telling you, Bro, I feel like I went
Speaker 1: from back always thinking of you and YG together to
Speaker 1: just thinking if you guys are two separate entities. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you did a great job of carving your own ship. Brow.
Speaker 1: It's hard to do. So man, tell me about it. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, just stay state, stay truly to yourself, your
Speaker 1: yell craft, you fit me. You're gonna get there for show.
Speaker 1: For sure, we'll go support the new album bombting Icewater Records.
