Speaker 1: a picture. So Yang, if you think you're gonna hear

Speaker 1: the punching era of music. Everyone's punching in. Are you pretty?
Speaker 1: Are you penning everything? Yeah? I mean alright, like I've
Speaker 1: been writing all my life. I don't think I'll never

Speaker 1: like to I want you to visualize what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: no matter what it is. I can be talking about
Speaker 1: fucking I want you to see it. I could be
Speaker 1: talking about, you know what I'm saying, sitting drugs. I
Speaker 1: want you to see it. I ain't gonna just go

Speaker 1: is your Your ship is very it is very visual.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You see this ship, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Man. So you obviously I just watched your, uh,
Speaker 1: your interview with Gillian Walla, which I thought was super
Speaker 1: dope because I really thought, just from like a perspective
Speaker 1: of like any young man that's living life right now,
Speaker 1: there's so much to take from your story. And I
Speaker 1: think that, like when we think about incarceration and being
Speaker 1: at your absolute worse in life, I think that I'm
Speaker 1: sure being in the jail cell, not knowing how long
Speaker 1: you're gonna be locked up. I know you said you
Speaker 1: ended up not doing the whole ten you did five,
Speaker 1: but mentally to be able to like bounce back after
Speaker 1: you get released and like kind of not let up
Speaker 1: if anything level up like that takes a lot of
Speaker 1: mental fortitude. Man, it was differently. Shit, I still better
Speaker 1: with it today. Still I'm still transitioning, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's still a whole lot of shit that
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's still a whole lot of shit.
Speaker 1: Like I learned something new every day. Yeah, I might
Speaker 1: not even speak on it, but I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: Like you's still certain shit that I battle with, Like, Damn,
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Shit go like this, but I
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Like especially with the internet, shit, especially
Speaker 1: with the industry. You know what I'm saying, Like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, just rubbing elbows, like the fake love,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I grew up on
Speaker 1: principles and more so, you know, like the fake love.
Speaker 1: Like this shit get under your skin, but you gotta
Speaker 1: deal with it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I deal with it. It's like the industry, like friendships
Speaker 1: and then there's like the real friendships, and it's like
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to like maneuver and play
Speaker 1: the game in a way where you don't take the
Speaker 1: industry shit personal and you don't take offense to it.
Speaker 1: You just kind of know what it is and at
Speaker 1: the same time be aware of like what's actually happening.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You said, like the baby
Speaker 1: with somebody who reached out to you where you were
Speaker 1: locked up, showed you loved Kevin Gates. Those were two
Speaker 1: of the first people who you tapped in with when
Speaker 1: you got it. Like I just heard Baby was riding
Speaker 1: in my music, but Gates actually reached out, like Gays
Speaker 1: was reaching out like on like two or three different occasions,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, Like, but like when
Speaker 1: I got around Gates, I can feel the generosity. I
Speaker 1: can feel like where you come from, the struggle, the
Speaker 1: pain and shit like so niggas like this, like they
Speaker 1: gonna embrace this shit. Some people can just feel this
Speaker 1: shit through lyrics like yeah, you can tell one a
Speaker 1: motherfucker and actually done something. And when a motherfucker ain't
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like or they just they
Speaker 1: they putting they improbably did something, but they putting extra
Speaker 1: shit on it, right, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: so you know you can you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: if you come from that shit, you gonna be able
Speaker 1: to tell. Yeah. Gates is also somebody who's also kind
Speaker 1: of been into similar situations where he was incarcerated. And
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, how important is that to
Speaker 1: know that? Like cause I have family members that have
Speaker 1: been doing i mean over twenty years in prison now,
Speaker 1: and I know that like anytime we write them or
Speaker 1: we accept the phone calls, it's so important. But I
Speaker 1: feel like when you get incarcerated, did you ever feel
Speaker 1: like at certain point of time you were kind of
Speaker 1: forgotten about when it cames of family, friends, whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it gets to a point where like you be like, shit,
Speaker 1: don't no matter owe me no letter, don't no better,
Speaker 1: owe me no phone call, don't nobotter owe me no
Speaker 1: come and see, he I put myself in this motherfucker.
Speaker 1: You know you gotta be a realist when when you
Speaker 1: when that's that's our part of being a man to me,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Just being a realist, Like
Speaker 1: you gotta accept this ship like you can. You can't
Speaker 1: really feel like oh, Oh I'm loneless. You wanted to

Speaker 1: ones you got the cherish like them, the ones you
Speaker 1: got to really be there for. And they might not
Speaker 1: be perfect, they might have flaws, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like lord to overall, So
Speaker 1: if a motherfucker be lord to a lawyer, if a
Speaker 1: motherfucker be lawyer and everything else, you can kind of
Speaker 1: work out with them, like, yeah, you're gonna work out

Speaker 1: quality to have, Like, that's that's the long as you

Speaker 1: Man with ship like this, So y'all, I have, but
Speaker 1: not just no free just in the Union of the Revoo. Yo.
Speaker 1: You had talked about this a bit with Wallow about
Speaker 1: because I have two of my big cousins who've been
Speaker 1: incarcerated most of their life, and anytime I talk to them,
Speaker 1: or when they would get out and I would talk
Speaker 1: to them, something you brought up is something that they
Speaker 1: also brought up. They're locked up in Arizona, so the
Speaker 1: politics are a lot. It's a lot of race related ship,
Speaker 1: you know. But they would always tell me about these riots,
Speaker 1: like when the prison riots would pop off. Shit would
Speaker 1: be crazy people dying. I heard you talk about you
Speaker 1: ain't even got to be involved in it, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like they would because something she can pop
Speaker 1: off between some mom and that one nigga that they
Speaker 1: never liked it you and you don't even not know
Speaker 1: that this is opportunity to get you so because it's
Speaker 1: a free fraud bingo. But you ain't even in it, right.
Speaker 1: But once it go up, it go up, and then
Speaker 1: you got all the police is running to this area.
Speaker 1: When now a nigga that stole you looked on you
Speaker 1: with a knife or you know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: this shit get wicked, You get wicked like this shit,
Speaker 1: it's a whole different world nowg No, I already know.
Speaker 1: Is it something like where you like, was it ever
Speaker 1: a point in time during a situation like that where
Speaker 1: you felt like, you know, it was close for you
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, wrong time, wrong place, or
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I'm saying by me being
Speaker 1: affiliated with an organization, it's been a time where I
Speaker 1: felt like it was old when I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, get bumping head with my organization,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like you know because it
Speaker 1: gets physical, you get what I'm saying, Yeah, physical or
Speaker 1: some saying like when you break certain rules and shit,
Speaker 1: and I feel like that, damn, I might not make
Speaker 1: it that this motherfucker I know me, You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I ain't good with authority, not the police,
Speaker 1: but guys in the organization. I ain't, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I always stayed in some bullshit because
Speaker 1: I won't good with with with I went good with
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, motherfucker telling me what to do? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And then also shit, I mean, no matter where you're affiliated,
Speaker 1: at least from when I heard once it becomes prison,
Speaker 1: everything changes in terms of like structure or the politics,
Speaker 1: the rules, everything, just it's a whole new game, right different, Yeah,
Speaker 1: different different, Yo, you got locked up in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: right yup. So the whole rap game was in a
Speaker 1: weird place then because it was kind of like obviously,
Speaker 1: like I feel like twenty seventeen, it was like peak
Speaker 1: cloud rap shit, soundclouds shit. It was a lot of
Speaker 1: goofy antics on Instagram and a lot of rappers are
Speaker 1: getting signed just because they were doing dumb shit on
Speaker 1: the Internet still is, but not as bad because it
Speaker 1: got it was bad like twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, it
Speaker 1: was rough, but also like you went in and like
Speaker 1: Memphis was bubbling right, but now you're out and it's
Speaker 1: like the forefront of hip hop. Yeah, Memphis, Like Memphis
Speaker 1: like the thing when it comes to your far. I
Speaker 1: think it's the I mean it's I think it's the
Speaker 1: number one city too, and much being biased, shout to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: And also I think Detroit's bubbling right now. Florida. Obviously,
Speaker 1: different parts of Florida have been doing their thing, but
Speaker 1: I think just Memphis has had the choke hold for
Speaker 1: the last few years. Most different like got their own
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But like Memphis, bring a
Speaker 1: lot of Memphis, bring a lot of the sauce, the
Speaker 1: season into the rap guy, yeah, lingo, a lot of
Speaker 1: things we say, like you know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: the way we deliver, people picking up on this ship
Speaker 1: and people starting to speaking more, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like they say we country, but now they like it. Well,
Speaker 1: now everybody sounded like they're from Memphis. They use it,
Speaker 1: and they're using Southern beats everybody using take keys Keith, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody using you know what I'm saying, Uh, these certain
Speaker 1: take keyp from Memphis. Yep, you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So because I'm thinking, like twenty seventeen, obviously Dolph is
Speaker 1: still uh you know, killing it. Rest in peace to
Speaker 1: Doll God, he's still killing it. Black Youngster was doing
Speaker 1: this thing at that time. But now like fast forward
Speaker 1: and it's just like, man, everybody's signing somebody from Memphis,
Speaker 1: if God he hasn't already signed him. And then you
Speaker 1: got like just this whole young croper artists that are
Speaker 1: like just yeah, I just think it's dope to see.
Speaker 1: What do you think it is about? From before you
Speaker 1: went into now, do you feel like everyone's moving more
Speaker 1: in the same direction, Because it did feel like there
Speaker 1: was a lot of division in Memphis prior to Uh,
Speaker 1: I would say probably before you got locked up. It
Speaker 1: felt like a lot of people, I mean not to
Speaker 1: say they don't have issues now, but it feels like
Speaker 1: there's more of like a unified front. Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I can say that it's just forbidding, which is all right, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, but yeah, I guess I
Speaker 1: guess you could say that, you know, but I mean
Speaker 1: if you respect money, I don't respect money. That's fair.
Speaker 1: I don't expect money. So you know, like if I
Speaker 1: fuck with you, I focus. But I'm still getting over
Speaker 1: the hump of or not respecting money. You see what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because like you, it's it gets. It's to
Speaker 1: the point now where like you know how they say,
Speaker 1: you know how they say a lot of people be
Speaker 1: be be be a sheep in wolves clothing. Definitely, I
Speaker 1: feel like today you got to be a wolf in
Speaker 1: sheep clothing. That you get what I'm saying, Like you
Speaker 1: got to like like they see a real one coming,
Speaker 1: they see somebody who really authentic, who really about it,
Speaker 1: they tend to stray away from you. They almost want
Speaker 1: you to be your worst self. Yeah, they almost want you.
Speaker 1: They're they're scared of of you. So you gotta be
Speaker 1: You gotta be extra night. You got to be a wolf.
Speaker 1: But you got to put on sheep clothing. But and
Speaker 1: back in the days it was I ain't nigga sheeps
Speaker 1: and wolf clothing, right, but now it's vice versa, Like
Speaker 1: you got to be a wolf. If you're a wolf,
Speaker 1: you got to put on sheep clothing, cause like, like
Speaker 1: they say, like you a wolf run into a pack
Speaker 1: of sheep, everybody's gonna scram But if you're a wolf
Speaker 1: and you put on some sheep clothing, you might get
Speaker 1: into some rooms. Even you gotta blend in. You gotta
Speaker 1: blend in because like if you try to just be
Speaker 1: too real, too authentic, they gonna shut you out. They
Speaker 1: ain't gonna So this was me the most because I
Speaker 1: can't be who I am. I can't be who I am,
Speaker 1: like not far on the violence till but I can't
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, Like I can't you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because it'll fuck up so much,
Speaker 1: so much business, right, And it's like especially nowadays because
Speaker 1: you see it, man, this cancel culture shit is real
Speaker 1: and motherfucker's are so like worried about like the brand
Speaker 1: or worried about like you know, like I think I
Speaker 1: think you hit it on the head. I think nowadays
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of you know, you got the fake
Speaker 1: it till you make it. I'm going to play the
Speaker 1: game to a sense, man, And I think that's all
Speaker 1: I mean, that's always been the case, you know, But
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have kind of because
Speaker 1: back then, like tupa them, they would be in them.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, but I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the last like four or five years since
Speaker 1: since you know, you've been down, have probably showed you
Speaker 1: the path not to go. They kind of made those
Speaker 1: mistakes for a guy like you to come in and
Speaker 1: see that and be like, oh, well look I'm gonna
Speaker 1: move this way because there's a big picture, there's a
Speaker 1: bigger play here. I got that I had to give
Speaker 1: with the program. Yeah, I had to get with I'm
Speaker 1: looking at but but but I'm not be literal in
Speaker 1: them or I'm not saying they lived in a man.

Speaker 1: whether or not you had a relationship with Dolf or
Speaker 1: whether or not it was good or bad, but obviously
Speaker 1: losing him for the city of Memphis was a big
Speaker 1: deal for hip hop in general. What what was you know,
Speaker 1: the severity of that loss just for the scene out there, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I was incocerated when it happened, right,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't I ain't really just feel that fake
Speaker 1: I just knew it fuked up. Damn like like damn, like,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, but I never got the
Speaker 1: food it fike, you know what I'm saying. Because but
Speaker 1: now that I'm not here and I'm like, damn, no, dolf,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But you know, when it
Speaker 1: come to death, I embraced deaf like that's on some
Speaker 1: personal shit. That's a whole nother conversation. But I don't
Speaker 1: look at deaf too bad, like I embrace it like
Speaker 1: what it is we live to die. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I feel like too. You live a certain way, you
Speaker 1: kind of gotta brace yourself for death at all times.
Speaker 1: And not just if you live a certain way. It
Speaker 1: could be anybody, not the knock on wood. But you
Speaker 1: can even have a rig. It's written, whatever gonna happen
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. All you can do is try to
Speaker 1: prevent it's way you can. But when it's your time,
Speaker 1: it's your time you can't run from. It's one thing
Speaker 1: you can't run from. You can't run from it. So
Speaker 1: when it comes to dem like, I ain't the one
Speaker 1: to just be like oh, because I'm really like I
Speaker 1: understand it gotta heave it. It got and I know
Speaker 1: it's a conversation that motherfuckers don't like to have, but
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie to myself. That's fair man. Something
Speaker 1: else that obviously, uh you speak about in your music,
Speaker 1: h Yo, talk about because I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't realize, like the pimp and culture in Memphis.
Speaker 1: It's like this big deal, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That is like kind of like a side to the
Speaker 1: to the game. Obviously it is the game, but aside
Speaker 1: to the streets that I don't think we hear about
Speaker 1: it left anymore because when I was a kid, we
Speaker 1: had so many artists like too Short, and just so
Speaker 1: many artists do or die, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And I don't you don't hear about it as much
Speaker 1: anymore in music? How big is that culture in Memphis
Speaker 1: still to this day? Like not to say you're involved
Speaker 1: in that the but I just mean Memphis, you know,
Speaker 1: Memphis staying for making Easter money, pimping holes and style
Speaker 1: making ease and money, pimping hose. It's serious, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And like like I tell everybody like
Speaker 1: that this conversation come over like Memphis, Memphis and Memphis.
Speaker 1: Pimping is like selling we it's different breakage though, like
Speaker 1: you got you got niggas who pimped junkies, m you
Speaker 1: got you know what I'm saying, Like it's just different breakers.
Speaker 1: You got niggas who you know what I'm saying, it's
Speaker 1: just same ship as people who say fucking feeding all
Speaker 1: lace drugs. It's just it's just it's just in your
Speaker 1: it's just in your bloody self. Bullshit. You got lame niggas.
Speaker 1: You ain't even got to be a gangster to be
Speaker 1: a pimp. You ain't got to be a killer to
Speaker 1: be a pimp, Like you could be a straight lame
Speaker 1: And do you got niggas that ain't gone. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna busts a grape and welcher yard like. But they
Speaker 1: pimping like you know and I tear you ain't pimp.
Speaker 1: It's a non context boy p like. I don't want
Speaker 1: no problem. I don't want nothing to do with no smoke,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But there's some pimping. So
Speaker 1: if the brackets are pimping, uh dope, fiends what's the
Speaker 1: highest bracket the ass bracket when you get up and
Speaker 1: corporate like extortion, Like if a senator comes into extortion,
Speaker 1: it get crazy. I ain't gonna put out it after,
Speaker 1: but it gets crazy. It's it's a it's a darker
Speaker 1: side to it, like like if a private investigator like
Speaker 1: needs a girl to set up some rich guy. No,
Speaker 1: take some crazy pictures like you see it in the
Speaker 1: movie Bingo. Now you're balking up the right. Look, I
Speaker 1: need you to get this senator, but ass naked, strapped
Speaker 1: to a fucking bed, and I'm gonna have somebody across
Speaker 1: pawn Stars, your own porn company, like it get deep,
Speaker 1: like it gets a whole lot more deeple yo. But
Speaker 1: when you went in like only fans wasn't popping right now.
Speaker 1: So now only fans is like this whole thing back
Speaker 1: Page rest in peace. No, no, listen. I'm a married man,
Speaker 1: but I am very aware that back Page is no
Speaker 1: longer a thing. First they got rid of Craigslist, then
Speaker 1: Backpage with now the bitches are on only fans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I mean, the don't understand only fan.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of guys are like managing women
Speaker 1: on only fans. I have friends who do it. There's
Speaker 1: rappers who do it. Who were we just talking to
Speaker 1: the managers? Girls? No, now a Little pump Tiger does it.
Speaker 1: Adam twenty two from No Jumper does it. But I
Speaker 1: feel like it's kind of like, I guess it's kind
Speaker 1: of like having your own porn site, but it's like
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, instead of you get paid once,
Speaker 1: like eight hundred dollars to shoot a scene, you get
Speaker 1: paid residual income off your content. So a lot of women,
Speaker 1: you know, are I thought you were gonna hit that motherfucker?
Speaker 1: Are you? I mean, this guy bring that thing over here.
Speaker 1: I ain't smoking, and I'm straight. This is a monster.

Speaker 1: pandemic had that shit. I don't know. I don't spend anything.
Speaker 1: You can get all the only fans content for free
Speaker 1: on Reddit. That's neither here nor there. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, backpage was still a thing. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I feel like backpage has been gone for like ten years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: shouts the backpage. When I was a kid, there was
Speaker 1: a streak in Phoenix, Arizona called Van Buren and it

Speaker 1: it's crazy, and we got chased by a pinpoints. Actually
Speaker 1: it's yeah, because we hit a chick with a water
Speaker 1: balloon and uh, and then we got chased down by

Speaker 1: to do something for a bitch, she got to do
Speaker 1: something for me first, but she got to break the ice. Yeah,

Speaker 1: cologne for Christmas, because you're a broke as fuck, And
Speaker 1: this is the most unthoughtful gift anyone can get somebody,
Speaker 1: right then you're gonna get some fucking perfume. Bengo. I
Speaker 1: love it, you know, so you don't you know you
Speaker 1: get what you give. I love that show for me,
Speaker 1: it's my live yo. What I love about Memphis is
Speaker 1: the way you guys pronounce music music mrsic man, everybody,
Speaker 1: that's the one word. If I just hear him say it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're from Memphis. Have you been able to
Speaker 1: link up somebody who I love as well from the city,
Speaker 1: who's immensely talented and is having a great run right now?
Speaker 1: It's glow? Really, have you guys linked up? Not Sh'S
Speaker 1: coming soon though. Yeah, she's bringing a great energy. She's moving,
Speaker 1: I'm moving. We you know what I'm saying. I feel
Speaker 1: like together on a song, you guys would fucking SPADs
Speaker 1: because you guys each have such unique tones. That's one
Speaker 1: of the first things I picked up about you was like, man,
Speaker 1: your voice, your tone is is is very unique right now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we were just it's crazy. We were just
Speaker 1: talking about this ship today. Nah, man, my people go
Speaker 1: to make that we got some ship that we Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're trying to, but you know, we both moving a lot,
Speaker 1: we both you know what I'm saying, So you know
Speaker 1: it'd be hard, kind of hard to bump up. And
Speaker 1: then most of us you want to get in a
Speaker 1: lab J B wanna do you want to feel the
Speaker 1: energy that's you that wants that. I mean, I have
Speaker 1: seen that with artist's period since I've been out, like
Speaker 1: niggas be like, I'm trying to like in because that's
Speaker 1: the difference I think nowadays is that people don't get
Speaker 1: in the studio together anymore. Yeah, Like I meant, look
Speaker 1: at much shit happened in the hip out of course
Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, and the hate and jitus in
Speaker 1: all time, that's real. I feel like the safer move
Speaker 1: is to like just send me the session. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: but like because you know, you go to the studio,
Speaker 1: you don't know whose entouragers are there, you don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like right, yeah, it's it's definitely since twenty seventeen, we've
Speaker 1: lost a lot of people in hip hop. Like you said,
Speaker 1: the temperature is just a lot different than it's ever been,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And that's not even just
Speaker 1: in rap music, that's anywhere like out here in La
Speaker 1: shit is crazy crazy because everybody a rapper, like you
Speaker 1: dropped one song and you a rapper, and then when
Speaker 1: you die, they'd be like, oh rappers such and the
Speaker 1: kill or don't who he wasn't even know real rapper.
Speaker 1: He just recorded a song and now they got the
Speaker 1: game looking like all rappers dying and then they get
Speaker 1: a say, cheese TV post because they got two songs.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, no, you want no rapp or rapper.
Speaker 1: You won dedicated your life to it. You it was
Speaker 1: your hobby. You know what I'm saying, Hey, at what
Speaker 1: point in time did you feel like you stopped taking
Speaker 1: Like when did rap become full time for you and
Speaker 1: not a hobby anymore? Because I feel like everyone has
Speaker 1: that period of time where you start taking this like serious,
Speaker 1: like you know, obviously you start rapping, you try to
Speaker 1: fuck around with it, it starts to work out. When
Speaker 1: did you decide to kind of like go ten toes in,
Speaker 1: two feet in on the on the rap shit shit,
Speaker 1: when I just wanted to did the bed. That was it.
Speaker 1: That was the difference. It was like I'm ready, like
Speaker 1: I already. I always had the tenant. And like I
Speaker 1: said before I went in, I dropped going straight in song,
Speaker 1: and that motherfucker was climbing while I was in concentrated.
Speaker 1: I went to jail. It was an eight million views
Speaker 1: and I came home it was like it what forty
Speaker 1: six forty seven million views, like like this without promotion,
Speaker 1: this without a label, this was like the honest way
Speaker 1: to go. This is without me, right, this is without
Speaker 1: youah me. Like this ship was growing while I was inconcrated.
