Speaker 2: was in Thailand. I left Dookie on the stage. Nasty
Speaker 2: how I did that? And it was kind of crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to call anybody else, but a certain
Speaker 2: person on the side of the stage was like, do
Speaker 2: you know, like do you know the lyrics? Like do
Speaker 2: you know the cue to which you're like, do you know?

Speaker 1: of white people on the side of the stage waiting
Speaker 1: for me to get off the stage to take pictures.
Speaker 2: That's big. Never they after I took all the pictures,
Speaker 2: they were like, oh, yeah, what's your name? They were
Speaker 2: just like we just saw you on stage and you
Speaker 2: were amazing. They don't even care. But that's what's about
Speaker 2: Like I always say that about like artists who don't
Speaker 2: take their live show serious, Like yo, that is a
Speaker 2: real way to like gain fans because cause there's even
Speaker 2: if you open up for somebody, like if people even
Speaker 2: if they give you a chance, you know, and you
Speaker 2: kill it, Like even if you convert ten people, five people,
Speaker 2: twenty people, Like that's something that shit changed my life.
Speaker 2: And it was Mike G two. So he has a
Speaker 2: loyal ass fan base for sure, loyal. So they're like,
Speaker 2: who the fuck is this guy? Right? And I see
Speaker 2: when I seen hands go.
Speaker 1: Humbly speaking, I've never done a show that big ever,
Speaker 1: and I've never made that many people put their hands up.
Speaker 2: And if I was like, yeah.
Speaker 1: This if this is the feeling that uh fucking Roddy
Speaker 1: Rich and all those guys get to when they.
Speaker 2: Do, I said, yeah, I gotta make some pits. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you so give me kind of Are Are you from
Speaker 2: the same area as I see? You know, I see
Speaker 2: you repped the north side of the same area as Vince.
Speaker 2: Literally yeah, like I'm from the Grace Park area. My
Speaker 2: dad's from Boulevard Mafia. Vince's hood is like two Winds.
Speaker 2: Two Wins is like Artesia over here.
Speaker 1: They actually beef by the way, but like two Wins
Speaker 1: is over here, and then Boulevard is like closer to Compton,
Speaker 1: so like I'm right in the middle from Grace Park,
Speaker 1: like I went to like Jordan High, Like I'm up
Speaker 1: and down Atlantic Long Beach Boulevard fifty fifth Carmelitos.
Speaker 2: Long Beach is like such an interesting city because like
Speaker 2: if people who aren't from LA just consider it LA
Speaker 2: because we think of Snoop and people are like Snoop LA,
Speaker 2: but it's Long Beach. LA does not like it if
Speaker 2: you live here. It's like, dude, Long Beach is a
Speaker 2: serious drive. They don't like us. It's its own thing.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's got its own politics and own
Speaker 2: county jail, its own county jail. And hell, you know,
Speaker 2: there's Asian crips.
Speaker 1: There's all heavy And I didn't meet a blood in
Speaker 1: person until I was like fourteen fifteen, Like I never
Speaker 1: I never knew that. I kind of didn't even I
Speaker 1: thought that was like a figment of TV.
Speaker 2: So there's not bloods in Long Fuck No. So they're there,
Speaker 2: they live there and stuff, but they're like their neighborhood
Speaker 2: isn't there. Hell no, it's so there's nothing but cryp
Speaker 2: set So they're sets set beef with.
Speaker 1: Each other that are yes, all crips. Nobody in Long
Speaker 1: Beach gets along.
Speaker 2: Got it, got it, got maybe like if that's your
Speaker 2: cousin or like, but it's like heavy brown and black
Speaker 2: beef heavy. And then the Asians fit in there somewhere.
Speaker 1: Asians beef with the Mexicans really bad, Like that's worse
Speaker 1: than us, Like they like the underdogs, so they're not
Speaker 1: given fair fades at all. Like you get caught at
Speaker 1: a fucking liquor store and you're a you're with the Asian.
Speaker 1: The Mexican's gonna get on the Asian first.
Speaker 2: Shit. I was just in Thailand with Stupid Young, which
Speaker 2: was Stupid Young runs Long Beach, which was crazy because
Speaker 2: he was cracking out in Thailand.
Speaker 1: Bro Stupid Young's hood. The Asian boys are so cracking
Speaker 1: in Long Beach. They don't even go to liquor stores.
Speaker 1: They have a lady that goes and comes and brings
Speaker 1: alcohol and cups and ice to them.
Speaker 2: So he has a guy who uh, this dude Steve,
Speaker 2: who I met in Bangkok and he's a stupid young
Speaker 2: og yeah from Asian boys. Yeah, and he did a
Speaker 2: stint in prison and got out and moved to Bangkok
Speaker 2: and opened a dispensary that's Gangston. So I'm like out
Speaker 2: there and I'm like like pulling up to this dude's
Speaker 2: dispensary is called California's Finest, of course, and it's like
Speaker 2: the most like laed out like storage just in the
Speaker 2: middle of Bangkok in the middle. And then there's this dude, Steve,
Speaker 2: who's like the most like hardcore crip Asian dude you've
Speaker 2: ever met in your life. And he's just like thriving
Speaker 2: in Thailand.
Speaker 1: I can see that. Yeah, Long Beach is weird. It's
Speaker 1: like the water out there is so different. We could
Speaker 1: travel anywhere and like adapt so crazy and like I'll
Speaker 1: be I would never be surprised if like stupid young
Speaker 1: opened up his own fuckings.
Speaker 2: No, he's doing his thing, man, and uh you know
Speaker 2: I was. I was just trying to work with him too.
Speaker 2: If you could hook that up, that's easy work, I
Speaker 2: told I just told him, I'm like, bro, I see,
Speaker 2: I see the way you're moving around in Thailand, dog, Like,
Speaker 2: you know what's great about you being out here? You

Speaker 2: you got problems to everybody. It's like it's like, dude,
Speaker 2: you just never know the brown is. Even if you're

Speaker 2: in the day parties.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I had to conform. As you can see, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I've been performing to things lately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes, I mean conforming is one way to put it.
Speaker 1: I have to, But I was basically what happened was
Speaker 1: the I was already kind of like working on an album,
Speaker 1: and I was like oh.

Speaker 1: room is like looking at how I'm gonna react. Mind

Speaker 1: it's me.
Speaker 2: It's me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, homie, Like you're not just about to

Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this again. I went out, open the
Speaker 1: door again. It's still there. He's still there. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: this isn't a dream. I'm fanning out. He's a Channels
Speaker 1: in there, just being super chill, like yeah, just got
Speaker 1: done running a fucking thirty hour session, Like we're all tired,
Speaker 1: we're all about to go home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Quick's been on it, dude, he's been working. Dude.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hell Na, like something got to shake. They're
Speaker 1: playing me the new record. It was Quick and.
Speaker 2: Problem Trooper Coo exactly.
Speaker 1: So problems running through records, just letting me hear shit
Speaker 1: and like great album.
Speaker 2: I'm honored. At this time, I'm like, what the fuck
Speaker 2: is going on? Like Channel's on here, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: My boy Barney's there, he's helping write with Channel.
Speaker 1: It's just a lot going on at one time, Buddy
Speaker 1: walks in randomly. I guess he got the same message, right,
Speaker 1: But he's buddy, so he can come whenever he wants.
Speaker 2: Quick's like, oh shit, Buddy, here, I can't leave yet,
Speaker 2: Like nah.
Speaker 1: They pop up with some drinks, everybody's the party starts,
Speaker 1: you know, Buddy come in. It's it's it's a whole
Speaker 1: different energy. So channel's like fuck. It plays a beat,
Speaker 1: the beat that's on my fucking album. I just write
Speaker 1: a verse really quick, like the quickest verse I've ever wrote,
Speaker 1: no pun and I'm writing the verse quickest. Fuck and
Speaker 1: Buddy just like, let me go on the studio. He
Speaker 1: goes in the studio, does the hook. We've got to
Speaker 1: rewrite the whole verse.
Speaker 2: Now. I'm like, god damnit. Now not at all. It's
Speaker 2: a dance song, now, dancer. I don't want to round man, sir.
Speaker 2: I'm like, God damn it, I gotta write a dance song.
Speaker 2: I'm like, uh. I start going through my notes, I
Speaker 2: like I have nothing. I'm like, God damn it. I'm
Speaker 2: like fuck. I write the verse like.
Speaker 1: That's why the first verse is so short, because I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I don't write these kind of songs for real. So
Speaker 1: I have to write a verse about a bitch I
Speaker 1: met in the club, which I don't meet bitches in
Speaker 1: the club.
Speaker 2: So his hook kind of dictated like, okay, well now
Speaker 2: I gotta go.
Speaker 1: There, which makes sense because fifty cent I saw fifty
Speaker 1: interviews like I can't even write a verse without a hook.
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I can't write it. I get the
Speaker 2: hook from the verse. That's how I write, Like I'm tupac,
Speaker 2: So that makes sense, buddy, killed it. I fucking.
Speaker 1: Write the verse. And then everybody's tired, mind you, They've
Speaker 1: been in the studio all day. So I'm like, fun,
Speaker 1: all right, can I take this song? And Todd is there?
Speaker 1: Shout out to Todd. Todd is Larry Junes engineer.
Speaker 2: Okay, Todd didn't have to send me the session, mind you,
Speaker 2: because that's not my session, right, I'm blowing Todd up, Yo,
Speaker 2: can you send me that session.
Speaker 1: I don't even have an engineer at the time. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how the fuck am I gonna I gotta finish this song?
Speaker 1: Like Quick's in there. Quick saw me do my verse,
Speaker 1: saw me do it, and just dipped. He was all right, cool,
Speaker 1: like keep doing your thing. Baby got up out of there.
Speaker 1: I sat on that song for like maybe like a
Speaker 1: month or two. And then this girl I'm dating at
Speaker 1: the time, right now, I was about to say at
Speaker 1: the time, do not don't leave me. This girl I'm
Speaker 1: dating was as a fucking Channel Tress fan like she
Speaker 1: loves him. She's like, no, you need to finish this song.
Speaker 1: It's the last thing you do. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: a higher engineer with money I don't have in the studio,
Speaker 1: I can afford finish the second verse. Then I have
Speaker 1: to pay another session to get Barney Barney Bones who
Speaker 1: helps Channel Right all the time, to come do his part,
Speaker 1: and then I have to book another session to mix
Speaker 1: it master it. So at this point I'm in the
Speaker 1: red in my own fucking budget.
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn truly independent.
Speaker 1: I'm truly independent, and I'm like, fuck dude, like whatever. Randomly,
Speaker 1: a song I did with Smino and Jid because of Buddy.
Speaker 1: Buddy invited me to the session. I marked the song
Speaker 1: that's my kind of rappers right marked it. It leaked
Speaker 1: because you know, damn well, Jibs people and Smino aren't
Speaker 1: going to just let some city let some shit leak out,
Speaker 1: like I mean, let some shit clear that wouldn't have
Speaker 1: got clear. They just got off tour. Oh yeah, they
Speaker 1: had the dre they had the dress right, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: So we're trying to like maybe perform the song. You know,
Speaker 2: it's very like high hopes, like maybe Whybeo will drop
Speaker 2: it after the tour, very very very immature thinking. But
Speaker 2: I mean they're both on major labels too. It's not
Speaker 2: happening for me. It's a little bit harder. It's a
Speaker 2: little bit harder to get those records out. It's almost like,
Speaker 2: if you're an independent artist, it would behoove you to
Speaker 2: work with major artists. It's like it was cool to
Speaker 2: send around to people and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I got some shit with Jit and but
Speaker 3: I guess one of the engineers at the studio heard
Speaker 3: it and he mixed it and sent it to me,
Speaker 3: and then it leaked.
Speaker 2: It was a form of Smino Jid leaks that came out.
Speaker 2: The leak got to.
Speaker 1: Create music, create music, heard that it was creating, So
Speaker 1: I posted it.
Speaker 2: Now everybody's posting.
Speaker 1: It like fucking we got off here, we can keep
Speaker 1: up with Jid and Smino, duh. And then fucking that
Speaker 1: got me a little distribution deal with Create that helped
Speaker 1: me pay for the video for this, and helped me
Speaker 1: get me a nice little car. And like I've invested
Speaker 1: in my own studio. Bought the fucking Bay ten seventy three,
Speaker 1: the distresser compressor, the Noyman ten, the Noyman, the funk.
Speaker 2: I mean, you got like the fucking that's that's the
Speaker 2: vocal chain, that's all you need. Killed it and it's
Speaker 2: right in the crib hollow.
Speaker 1: Put the kid to sleep. I got an SSL like
Speaker 1: a Very. I don't think they make.
Speaker 2: It anymore like a Very.
Speaker 1: You didn't make it the small SSL, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I got the I got like the OG one somehow
Speaker 1: because of shout out to Vinyl, but I mean not Vinyl.
Speaker 2: Uh. I can't even vintage Kings. So you're recording yourself
Speaker 2: all day's.
Speaker 1: I just hired an engineer from haw he's out here
Speaker 1: and he's like working out Pulse, getting hell of money
Speaker 1: at Pulse. So now I kind of can give it,
Speaker 1: like y'all got two hundred dollars. Then you come through,
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'll do it.
Speaker 2: Come on.
Speaker 1: So now he helps me out a lot now, thank god,
Speaker 1: But are you still out Long Beach. No, I'm in
Speaker 1: Hollywood now, Smart fifteen minutes from here.
Speaker 2: Smart killed it. Rent control building, rent controls the move.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that saw, I know, God was real. Bro,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that story later. Yeah, my boy lives
Speaker 2: in an apartment in North Hollywood and his rent is
Speaker 2: so disrespectfully cheap that it like I want to like
Speaker 2: throw him out and move into his apartment. You would
Speaker 2: hate me. Then, two bedroom, two bathroom, two parking spots,
Speaker 2: so my boys got the same shit and he's paying
Speaker 2: fifteen to sixty a month. He killed me off. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Nico Blitz said, motherfucker. He's been living there for like
Speaker 2: six years. He's he killed it. Don't move it, lovely.
Speaker 2: It was that three years ago. So however much it's increased,
Speaker 2: it isn't that much because it's rent controlled. So I'm like, dude,
Speaker 2: you're winning killed it, winning killed it. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: no matter how, no matter what happens, never moved, sublease it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, don't ever move bro. Like it's a two bedroom,
Speaker 2: you don't have any kids, who cares.
Speaker 1: It's amazing and we switch rooms all the time. She
Speaker 1: wants my room sometimes I want her room. She lives
Speaker 1: with me now, so it's so gangster. I'm so, I'm blessed.
Speaker 1: I killed that and I put the studio in the
Speaker 1: room and I just recording there all day, this whole
Speaker 1: pretty much the last couple songs of this project, and
Speaker 1: all my next shit is in the fucking crib fire.
Speaker 2: How smart though you save money that way, I'm never
Speaker 2: leaving that shit. What have you been able to sit
Speaker 2: with the Kendrick album? Yet? I love it? Yeah? All
Speaker 2: the way through Kendrick keeps sucking up my rollout. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean like I was fucking up a lot of
Speaker 2: rollouts anytime he drops. To be honest, he kind of.
Speaker 1: I learned a valuable lesson on patience because the video
Speaker 1: was supposed to come out when he dropped the Surprise
Speaker 1: Little Album. My video was supposed to come out that day,
Speaker 1: but my video guy didn't have the titles done yet.
Speaker 2: Ah, So I was like getting upset because the day
Speaker 2: before I'm like, like the font and stuff exactly, And
Speaker 2: the day before I'm like, we need the video to
Speaker 2: drop tomorrow because the song comes out tomorrow and then
Speaker 2: creates like chill out. We could push the DSPs through
Speaker 2: the weekend. Drop it on Monday today. Yes, ma'am, goodness, gracious,
Speaker 2: there's a phone call, just hit ignore young lady. Goodness. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was in Thailand walking out of Rolling Loud and
Speaker 2: my boy was like, Kendrick just dropped and I was
Speaker 2: like what, and it was Thailand is fifteen hours ahead
Speaker 2: of La goddamn. So it's like tomorrow at night. Damn.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. So I'm like what and like, so we're
Speaker 2: walking out, I'm listening to this shit in my ear
Speaker 2: like this, like what the fuck? I couldn't get past
Speaker 2: the first song for a minute. I was like, because
Speaker 2: you had to like dissect it, you had to go wait, wait,
Speaker 2: what did he say? What do you say? He came
Speaker 2: out Snoop. Yes, that fucked me up for sure, And
Speaker 2: I like how Snoop you know, replied like a good
Speaker 2: sport and was like it was the Edibles. It's it's
Speaker 2: because I I kind of felt him, because when Snoop,
Speaker 2: when when I saw that, I felt like, I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously it's not my position to feel any type of way,
Speaker 2: but I did kind of feel like I would like,
Speaker 2: why would Snoop validate then Corny Ship like you know,
Speaker 2: but it's like Snoop, Snoop post Hell is ship on
Speaker 2: his pitch, his pagoops damn near mean pin. I was
Speaker 2: about to say, yeah, mean page. So it's like I
Speaker 2: feel like with with Snoop, you really can't like Snoop's
Speaker 2: hard is. I feel like in a good.
Speaker 1: Place always, especially with Kendrick. He he knighted him, He
Speaker 1: knighted him on stage. Kendrick is knighted by the gods.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's wild. Yeah, I thought it was joked
Speaker 2: that he put on a bunch of young guys too.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I listened to it the first I was in New
Speaker 1: York when it dropped, So it was super surreal for
Speaker 1: me because I'm like on the subway listening to it, like.
Speaker 2: What is going on right now? Like who is he
Speaker 2: talking about? Why? Who's this other guy?
Speaker 1: All the track lists were Yeah, there was hidden I
Speaker 1: didn't know none of those guys except I just knew.
Speaker 2: I knew obviously Wally Paeso and uh I never heard
Speaker 2: of Lefty was dope, Pacs'm hip on every anybody now Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then but I didn't. I couldn't tell it was
Speaker 2: right away, Like I know a couple of records, But
Speaker 2: I feel like Wally really deserved it. Though for sure
Speaker 2: some big everybody thought, yeah with the future thing, Well
Speaker 2: he's got some he signed us. He might have a
Speaker 2: situation that he's gonn announce.
Speaker 1: The man I've seen he's with Zona man a lot.
Speaker 1: That's my triplet. Me him and Buddy are triplets.
Speaker 2: While he's got some ship. He came with what was
Speaker 2: his first song, not paranoid, uh, just trying to kill
Speaker 2: me for some scandalous.
Speaker 1: Scandalus is huge in the hood. I mean we were
Speaker 1: like okay, Like scandalss is a classic boom. Then he
Speaker 1: drops the O three flow and like, if you've ever
Speaker 1: dealt with a dude who's been to jail before on
Speaker 1: any level, that is their ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could play that. You could play that in
Speaker 2: the club. And he's very different because he doesn't. I
Speaker 2: don't feel like he wants to come off like he's
Speaker 2: some super blood. He doesn't. But the other thing that's
Speaker 2: interesting about Wally is like he is a like he
Speaker 2: really has the real capacity and ability to like wrap
Speaker 2: his fucking ass. Oh yeah, I've ciphered with that man. Actually,
Speaker 2: he's come on a freestyle a couple of times on here,
Speaker 2: and every time I'm just like, oh my god, what
Speaker 2: one takes it?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah he has a classic one here? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I common it's just so good man.
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, you're a fucking alien. He doesn't even try.
Speaker 2: He's an alien, don't. I don't forget which major label
Speaker 2: had him signed. That was it Atlantic? They fuck that
Speaker 2: up though, Oh they know they did. Though a lot.
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of labels know when they
Speaker 1: fuck up because they can't they can't market them the
Speaker 1: way they.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what the like. Uh, it feels like
Speaker 2: there's this huge like wall of like labels that just
Speaker 2: don't know how to market West Coast artists that aren't
Speaker 2: already like super on.
Speaker 1: Even then, like even Roddy, Like they don't know how
Speaker 1: to to his next level. Like a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with the West Coast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Roddy thing is interesting because I truly feel
Speaker 2: like he's a study of like somebody who who's momentum
Speaker 2: was truly affected by COVID. You know, wow, I didn't
Speaker 2: even think about that because he had his whole festival
Speaker 2: run that was coming. He had the biggest song on
Speaker 2: the planet when COVID started. You know, the box was
Speaker 2: the biggest song on the planet and still I mean
Speaker 2: it was went like diamond, didn't it. Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 2: I mean that's all time crazy single. Whoever is a
Speaker 2: part of that song. I know it's doing fair, But
Speaker 2: I think when when with COVID, it's like everybody was
Speaker 2: sitting down overthinking ship. I had heard that that second
Speaker 2: album had like four different versions. The version that ended
Speaker 2: up coming out was like not the version a lot
Speaker 2: of people said should have came out. But I also
Speaker 2: thought that this shit was cool. We had some shit
Speaker 2: on there. Line. I love Roddy man. I think Roddy's
Speaker 2: incredible me too, and I want to work with him.
Speaker 2: But I do think the COVID thing was just a
Speaker 2: weird thing because there were certain like younger artists who
Speaker 2: like didn't know what to do. Like I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: well if COVID's here, do we still work, Well, we
Speaker 2: can't tour, So like he was really you gotta understand
Speaker 2: his tour was going on when that album came out, the.
Speaker 1: First one or the second one, the first one, h
Speaker 1: anti social one, Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: So he was doing fifteen eighteen hundred cap venues, oh
Speaker 2: my god, when he should have been doing like three
Speaker 2: four five thousand, So he didn't even really get to
Speaker 2: fully like crack the tour after the album hit and
Speaker 2: like Blue the fuck he's an arena artist? No, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I think I don't know. I wouldn't. I
Speaker 2: don't know if he is now, but I think that
Speaker 2: he's capable of being an arena golf wing.
Speaker 1: When Mustard brought him out, oh yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: most respectfully, that was like the most of the crowd.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got them hit. They were washing to
Speaker 2: his songs. Riddy's got hits, and he's got He's got
Speaker 2: this like the songs that are just so easy to
Speaker 2: sing along too, like his melodies are un like unfukiable
Speaker 2: for us. Was on Kendergarten Uh siete uh pay so
Speaker 2: so who am I forgetting? It? Is one more? I
Speaker 2: know there's a few more hit a hit, a hitted,
Speaker 2: hitted baby love his verse. Yeah, people be hitting meet
Speaker 2: the whoops. They love him, Yes, yes, and I think
Speaker 2: he might be.
Speaker 1: Kendricks's cousin says, uh huh, Dodie Dodi's Hey, now say
Speaker 1: now that's him he on Hay Now say.
Speaker 2: Now, oh that song is nast What is on Dodger Blue?
Speaker 2: A ZI, there we go. He's on Dodger Blue. Uh
Speaker 2: it's Wally and Roddy.
Speaker 1: And I feel like a Z Shike is on a
Speaker 1: sick run. He was just on He's on a t
Speaker 1: D run. He school boys ship, got his own song
Speaker 1: for sure. He's on Kendrick ship. I feel like if
Speaker 1: he gets on one more t D artist ship, they
Speaker 1: might as well sign him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey man, him and him and Rucie had a
Speaker 2: great album.
Speaker 1: That they dropped a couple of years and and Shike
Speaker 1: like kind of like got load of great kind of
Speaker 1: popping like between one take Jay and Shike and then
Speaker 1: like load the Great is like insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like, uh, I mean, ship man, it's up.
Speaker 2: It's just really up to all everybody to deliver, you know.
Speaker 2: And I think I think now it's like it's almost
Speaker 2: like the industry has always been so like non West
Speaker 2: Coast biased, like it's always the South or East Coast
Speaker 2: artists get all love or fucking Canadian art. But I
Speaker 2: do feel like Kendrick's like forcing the moment to where
Speaker 2: if you're from LA like the labels would be doing
Speaker 2: themselves a disservice to not look at you and be like, hey,
Speaker 2: how do we make this happen? Like I think Lefty
Speaker 2: Gunplay is going to get a stupid bag. Stupid bag,
Speaker 2: Like what like this guy is a fucking He's like
Speaker 2: he just did some shit with O j Z and
Speaker 2: then you see how they rolled it out. I thought
Speaker 2: he's got a song out with Jeremiah right now. Him
Speaker 2: and oh Jeez's been working him and hit Boy got
Speaker 2: a damn your whole album together. He's been working with
Speaker 2: tight Ali sign. Like, I feel like that's your right
Speaker 2: of passage if hit Boy like gives you an album.
Speaker 2: It's like hitt Boy is free big hit by the way,
Speaker 2: but yeah, hit Boy's been on a crazy run. But yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, it's something like a right passage. For sure.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, hit boys fucking with you, Like, I
Speaker 1: still got work to do. I need to get the
Speaker 1: hit Boy and I still need to get.
Speaker 2: You haven't worked with hit Boy yet.
Speaker 1: Nah, that's the hommie, But I still need to get
Speaker 1: like hit Boy and Alchemist, Alchemist the one. If I
Speaker 1: could just get them too, and just like I'll be okay.
Speaker 2: Who do you? Do you have any other features on
Speaker 2: your new project? Buddy's on there, Barney Bones is on there?
Speaker 2: Who else is on there? Channels on there? I don't
Speaker 2: think it's anybody else. I don't not off the top
Speaker 2: of my head, I don't. I'll be wrapping way better
Speaker 2: than niggas. So it's like there's gonna be trying to
Speaker 2: come to the studio with me. You you have like
Speaker 2: a pretty crazy independent catalog too, Like you've you drop
Speaker 2: a lot, Like I think twenty twenty three years old,
Speaker 2: you had three or four hours that you dropped. I
Speaker 2: was hurting that year too. Is it like for you
Speaker 2: being like an independent artist and this is like how
Speaker 2: you pay your bills? Do you see, like the the
Speaker 2: more music you are able to drop, does it help
Speaker 2: with like raising all sales? The sickest part. I made
Speaker 2: the most money this year and I didn't even.
Speaker 1: Drop really like how though I have no idea? Just
Speaker 1: off music, yes, off of merch music shows. Buddy put
Speaker 1: me on his album. We went straight to Japan.
Speaker 2: You went to your Japan's crazy. I hate to be
Speaker 2: that rapper that's like, oh I'm big in Japan. No,
Speaker 2: but that's the thing I swear to god, me and
Speaker 2: Buddy did like five shows out there. I was just
Speaker 2: talking to my boys and they they're part of a
Speaker 2: group called bad Hop, which is like the only hip
Speaker 2: hop group they ever saw to Tokyo Dome I thought
Speaker 2: was shit. And they were just talking about how Japanese,
Speaker 2: he said, Asian fans period. He's like they buy everything. Oh,
Speaker 2: I sold out. He was like, Yo, if you got
Speaker 2: a T shirt, if you got a lunchbox, if you
Speaker 2: got a fucking pencil, they're buying it. I should have
Speaker 2: I should have went around like if you could get
Speaker 2: cracking in Japan, you're the man.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that makes people out here fuck
Speaker 1: with me for real, because they'd be like even like
Speaker 1: the all the West Coast dudes like Jay Worthy others
Speaker 1: like you go to go to Japan, like Japan, Like
Speaker 1: Jay Worthy's really big in Japan.
Speaker 2: I bet he's huge out there. Yeah. And I don't
Speaker 2: even know, Like I wonder like, is it just like
Speaker 2: is it just that the music resonates them? Niggas wear
Speaker 2: do rags out there for sure, And there's like the
Speaker 2: Japanese solos, Yes, they think.
Speaker 1: You can't tell them that until I come around and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, yeah, that that's Melanie.
Speaker 2: I just wonder what is the what is the the
Speaker 2: highway for the music to pop over there? Is it
Speaker 2: the obviously it's the Internet, but is there do you
Speaker 2: have to put work in out there for to like translate?
Speaker 2: I think it was. I think it's like a conscious
Speaker 2: effort of like, hey, we need to put some effort
Speaker 2: into Japan for it to work. No. I think that's
Speaker 2: what they don't fuck with. I think you just need
Speaker 2: a lowrider in your video and they're like, we're in
Speaker 2: that simple so their culture. They love jay Z so
Speaker 2: much out there too. Jay Z so so Yankee hats
Speaker 2: they love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're really from New York or really from LA,
Speaker 1: they fuck with you interesting, They fuck with you heavy,
Speaker 1: like they're gonna ask you to like LA. Like if
Speaker 1: you wear that het out there, they're gonna think you're
Speaker 1: from San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Oh that's fire.
Speaker 1: Your your representation, No representation matters out there like a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Like any advice from any West Coast artists, go as
Speaker 1: west as possible.
Speaker 2: If you want to get that Japan money, yes, because
Speaker 2: they're given to you. G Perico, probably go out there
Speaker 2: and eat what g Perico goes anywhere and eats because
