I 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.360 was just telling TK how impressed I was. We were 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.200 just talking about just the work ethic, how fast you 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.400 cranked out a whole project and it wasn't like it 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.880 was an ep like like how like first of all, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.120 what about two and a half weeks you recorded this thing. 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:57.760 I really recorded, and like like five days. It took 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.279 a little minute to min engineer to mix everything. Were 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.240 you like when you're locked up, I know you gotta 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.520 be writing, right of course? Every day were you getting 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.720 like you were getting beats? Though? Nah, sometimes I was listening. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.120 I was listening to a lot of beasts. But most 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.680 of the shit, I was just writing, like just trying 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.640 to keep a melody in my head and just writing. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.680 I didn't know that it was just gonna go to 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.360 most of the beast that I was doing. But yeah, 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.080 that's crazy. So a lot of the records that you wrote, 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.400 you came out and just applied those to beats that 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.640 you found. Basically most of the beast was jig bees. 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.880 But that's when I did the tape in jail and 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.160 then the other shit. I was just like I wrote 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.160 it like two weeks before I got out. Help me understand, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.520 we know the truth. What are you referring to? What's 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.840 the truth. I'm the truth. That's just we know the truth. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.840 Like they didn't go down there, you know, everything, like 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.520 me being in jail, everything I went through, all the 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.320 people that got on when I was in jail, just 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.480 everybody know the truth. It's like when I got out, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.200 everybody like, oh yeah, like it's over for a lot 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.240 of people. You know, the real is here. I just like, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.480 we know the truth. That's what I wanted to It's 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:13.560 interesting because you know yourself and Greto, I feel like 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.840 kind of really helped kick off a wave in LA. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.720 And I don't think a lot of people, like you said, 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.800 we know the truth. I understand what you're alluding to, 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.120 but I don't think a lot of people understand that fully. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.920 And it's it's it was. It was bad that you know, 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.400 both y'all ended up going away, you know what I'm saying, 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:40.680 Free Grido. But uh, now that you're out, you've seen 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.480 a lot of people pop, right, A lot of people 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.679 who maybe borrow from what you do sonically, A lot 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:52.199 of people, right, what what is the like like like 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.880 you didn't expect to get out of jail, No, not 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.679 like that. Right, So now that you're home, like, like, 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.480 how do you feel about just the landscape of La 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.280 hip hop from when you went into where it is now? 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.040 I mean it's cool because it's a lot more like 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.640 young people that's on now and there's not as many 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.000 like older people that's like trying to like hog it 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.160 and shit like and trying to not like put people on. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.360 There's more young people now, so I kind of like 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.839 that because when I was first rapping, like I was 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.760 getting into it with all the older dudes because they 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.959 didn't want to help us out. So when I came 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.800 to jail, it's like all the people that was like 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.520 under me or like you know, like looked up to me, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.920 they all start getting on.

He 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.439 still come to the hood and stuff like that. So 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.680 after that, I was like, yeah, I ain't coming back, 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.280 like I'm not going to be driving the hood doing 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.280 the same stuff. Like I'm like, yeah, I could happen 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.319 to anybody. That was the only person I can say 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.880 that was doing that. So I'm like kind of had 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.280 me like, nah, I gotta stay away when I get out. Yeah, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.439 it's almost like it it shows you like even like 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.640 you know, with all the positivity he was bringing to 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.120 this neighborhood, it didn't matter. Yeah, basically, like people don't care. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:17.520 They just haters. Is that something? Because you know I 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.120 think that a lot of people they they go to jail, 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.559 will come out and you know, they don't necessarily change 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:29.640 their their habits their circle. Is that something like when 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.880 you're when you're in there thinking about like shit, when 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.199 I get out, I got to reevaluate this, this this, 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.360 Oh yeah for sure, for sure. It's a lot of 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.920 people I'm dealing with that right now. Sure, yeah, I 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.920 got it. Yeah, that's all I was thinking about who 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.640 to keep around, who not to keep around, how it's 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.880 gonna be. I just didn't know it was gonna be 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.920 like this when I got out, Like people was telling 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.920 me in jail, like you don't know, like it be 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.920 people that just came to jail, Like you don't know, bro, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.559 Like you know, you think you know, like, but you 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.040 don't know how it's gonna be when you get all 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.160 like like it's a whole different, like you way bigger 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:06.760 than what you think about. You've just been in jail 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.160 for a long time, so you don't know. Then when 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.600 I got I was like, wow, it is different. It's 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.040 crazy now yeah, I mean, I mean gifted a curse, 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:15.599 right you're going to Joe almost added to like the 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.280 allure of of your of you as an artist. Yeah, 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.079 pretty much kind of like when Boozie got out, he 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.240 was you know what I'm saying, Like it just added 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.000 to like, you know what I'm saying, Like, and I 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.880 think also your the circumstances of your case were very 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.760 it felt like some bullshit. So even people who necessarily 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.680 weren't tapping with your music, when they found out about 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.679 what was going on, they were like, Yo, this is crazy, 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.160 Like people are just rooting for you. You know what 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.480 I'm saying, there's a lot of people who wasn't a 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.480 lot of people who wasn't rooted for me, who wasn't 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.160 rooting for you. I'm not saying the same names, but 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.319 like who like, uh, the older does the people that 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.480 have been in the game for a minute, la rappers? 0:13:54.720 --> 0:14:00.640 That's fair. I could see that. Yeah, Yo, what what 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.920 do you think? Because it was this judge that was 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.240 really she had like a vendetta for you, right she 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.800 was because she did not like me at all. I 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.640 don't know what it was. Maybe because I was a 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.400 rapper because she told me that in Coral. I don't 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.000 know if you think because you're a rapper, like you 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.280 don't got to listen to the rules. I'm like, you 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.040 could have just said this for a jump. Don't make 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.680 it seem like you don't like me. Bro, Like it's 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.320 almost like an example or some shit. Pretty much, that's 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.680 exactly what it was. I mean, I was, I still 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.400 was trying. It didn't work though, So then she got 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.920 bounced right in the election. Is that what happened? That's 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:36.920 the day she got or it was the d the dager, 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.600 But once the election happened, Yeah, she got kicked the book. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.680 It almost happened like simultaneously. It was like the election happened, 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.840 and then it was like, oh, he's coming home. Pretty 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.760 much all of a sudden, they had a deal. All 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.160 of a sudden, you can go home right now.
