Let's both decided 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.760 to do right. So for me, I'm gonna make you 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.639 run four four quarters. So you didn't go by the game. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.520 You want the MVP. Yeah, but that was our strategy 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.160 from the beginning. We said, all we gotta do is 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.320 keep the artist in the game. They can't won't, they 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.760 won't be able to survive. So obviously you're very competitive. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.040 Did you play sports growing up? Y'all? Played basketball?

So you played you played basketball when you're 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.800 good at it? I was great at it. My problem 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.560 My problem was my attitude. It showed me, man, Basketball 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.600 showed me that, uh, your team is everything. You was 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.160 nothing so and I was just a ball. I was 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.000 just a missing though. I felt like I ain't have 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.320 to practice. I feel like I ain't have to do suicide. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.680 I was un organized, right, So by me felling to 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.000 make it to the NBA, I feel like it showed 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.600 me and I opened that people around you is everything. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.120 So that was your goal growing up? You you played basketball, 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.360 you feel like you had the skills to make it 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.360 to the next level. Oh, definitely. I wanted out of basketball. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.560 What I wanted to be was an astronaut, a basketball player, 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:27.160 or just get money. Well, you got the money, so 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:28.720 I guess be at the BACKMA, I don't got the 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.520 money yet. You got some money, but you want more money. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.080 I ain't got no money. That's the cold part. I 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.599 need some money, man, Go ahead, old man. Yeah, it's crazy. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.440 So when you were growing up, what you wanted to 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.600 be an astronaut, you wanted to be a basketball player. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.760 But what was your fallback playing if none of those 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:52.560 things happened? The streets? The streets, Yeah, so you wanted 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.360 to slang. I ain't want to slang the streets. So 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.160 what are you gonna do with the street. Get some money. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.200 How you get money? Send a mix tape? Hey was 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:06.599 it caused? Hey straight? Hey the streets. You ain't need 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:12.240 no application, no degree. It just needed be lawless man. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.600 And I feel like I'm missed basketball. I sucked up, right, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.400 you know what I'm saying. Like you didn't through coffee 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:19.560 to the way, you ain't even really ca after that, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.599 I never believe I could go to college. That wasn't 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.800 even a thought in my head. Like I'm telling you, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.160 road streets, there's no I be growing up. It's not 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.000 how black you know what we call black kids in 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.160 our neighborhoods today. We didn't have real estate agents. We 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.280 didn't have none of that. We didn't have no entrepreneurship. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.280 That shi was unheard of. So in your neighborhood, you 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.440 didn't have anybody to despire to you. So you saw 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.359 the people in the streets. So that's what you're inspired. Now. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.680 It ain't that I even seen them. I wasn't even 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.760 inspired by them either, right, I just knew I needed 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.720 something to get to the next level, and what was 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.400 close to me was street. So so I'm not sorry. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.800 I'm just call a spade to spade, right, But I 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.080 wasn't there to broadcast about it, brag about it. I'm 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.360 not a kind of person to do that. You would 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:58.960 never know what I did, right, So I was just 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.800 I needed something to go to the next level. But 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.200 I'm not a person that settled for us. I always know, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.440 I'm not a person that bragg brag about things that's 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.680 not positive at the end of the day. So for me, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.800 I just knew I'm gonna be something right. But one 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.760 thing I always kept was a book in my hand, right, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.800 you know what I'm saying. I always made sure man 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.600 it ain't guests to be dumb gainst his creed, right. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.280 So I just took the gangster image to the next level, like, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.800 oh it was gangster. Is taking care of my family? Was? 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.880 Was gangster? Just keeping my little brother alive? Was gangster 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.440 just keeping my homies alive. And I didn't want to 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.240 risk nobody's life for my lifestyle. But you know, when 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.479 you're in that lifestyle, you risking others life, people's life, 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.000 and unconsciously you know now I know because back then 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.320 it was it was more so I feel like I 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.600 was helping you because if I'm in the streets and 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.640 you respect, if you respect the name of how I'm coming. Man, 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.040 you ain't gonna touch my family, right. I know that 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.080 from being a kid growing up, right, So it's more. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.960 I was more big on respect. I wanted the streets 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.240 for respect. Cause respect get you paid, right. I don't 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.800 know why. I'm from respect, get you paid, right. So 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.599 that's why I won't respect. Well, that's the number one currency. Yeah, 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.960 love and respect, that's all. I love. Love and respect. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.640 So you're doing what you're doing. Did you have a game? 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.080 Did you have a game like I'm gonna do this 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.680 for five years, I'm gonna do this for ten years? 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.560 How long did you said? I said, I'm gonna hustle. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.080 I ain't even have a limit on it. I just 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.080 wanted to find a better hustle. That's so one hell 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.840 will led to another. Hubble's it? So? Is that how 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.160 you morphed into the rap game? You started hustling like 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.400 day you hear other guys rapping like I could I 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.680 could do that? No, It's funny. My mother had an 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.560 artist's manager shared a chance to like, UH do community 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.400 work for okay, and Uh I ended up getting close 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.960 to him. We became best friends, right, So I'm I 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.640 thought to myself. I said, Yo, maybe he could be 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.360 a big rapper. Right. You know what I'm saying. I 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.240 believe him, right, I goose, I believe you right, I'm 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.120 with you. So I started from right there. So you 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:47.720 know what I'm gonna be. I'm about to learn my 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.800 first job I ever outside of anything. I'm gonna be 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.520 your assistant. Bro right, I'm gonna be your security. I'm 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.040 gonna have to be a roll this stuff. I never 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:56.960 knew these titles, but this is what I was doing. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.080 But you can't even pick a bang up your star. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.880 So that's what I was all that. Oh of course 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.840 if he get out, if I helped him blow up, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.880 I'm gone. That's it. We created, We created a company 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.200 together and he's like, Yo, let's take this to the 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.400 next level. And that's what I did. So on that 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.880 I learned how to be security, role, manager, assistant, booking agent. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.600 I learned all these roles. So when I seen God, 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.080 God put me in a new atmosphere. I ain't take 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.960 that gift for granted, right, I took it and went 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.920 up with it, right, and that's what and thank God 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.360 for that today. So your mom was was a manager 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.720 or help get help get good started.

You needed 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.760 going to roll with him, try it out because I 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.480 couldn't do it. I feel like if I chase him, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.880 it's like, you know, it's like meat riding. You know, 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.760 meat riders guy.

So at least 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.000 if I'm gonna go out here hard for gangs or cruise, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.200 I need to go hard for my mother investment. Right. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.600 If I'm willing to take a bullet in the street, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.319 I need to take a bullet for investment.

I mean, the ain't no 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.480 distanspect coming from the hood, No, never that. But you know, 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.720 my thing is this, right, my whole yao. First of all, 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.960 my whole ship coming up was to make it out correct. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:48.800 I'm not one of them niggas gonna be a billionaire 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.319 and go sit in the hood and roll dice and 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.480 smoke weeds.

But what stopped 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.319 me and what actually made me stop it hanging in 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.520 the hood was Dick Gregory. Okay. I watched this clip. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.319 Dick Gregory was like, Nigga, why do you buy this 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.319 rolls or to ride through the hood to show you 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.319 the richest motherfucker that I can't buy one and d 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.040 D And it's crazy because that's why I bought it. Right. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.480 I was young, like were getting money on the South Side. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.200 I'm going to pull a phantom out here, da da. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.040 But I was ignorant, and at the same time, I 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:22.920 could have bought this car door downtown Atlanta, and I 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.080 robbed by every day today, right, and its fucking five 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.920 times about right, the egg on my face, right. So 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.920 when I seen Dick Gregory do that, I actually got 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.960 out that car. I ended up getting in to Escalate 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.600 and I've been driving Escalator ever since two eleven and 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.160 I don't barely be home, like I don't cards to me. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:45.400 It just I start figuring.

So 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.440 now is it is it a means of transportation or 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.400 that it means to get attention? You know what? It was? 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.360 The problems crazy, The problem is like the things I 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.000 wanted to be and grow up to be I got 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.880 there twenty three years old. Okay, my mom, I was 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.200 sitting so high on top of my mountain. I just 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.040 kept smelling something, right, it just smell like manure. I 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.360 was standing on top of ship mountain. I didn't have nothing. 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.480 I didn't have no business. I didn't have no financial literacy. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.440 I didn't have a insurance policy. I didn't know what 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.160 trust accounts was, shell companies.

She 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.000 was too busy paying bills right and making sure we alive. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.240 So when I learned that part, it felt so good 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.040 learning that. Like usually, if I if I want to 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.760 run money up, I have to go on the streets.

I want to I want to perfect me. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.040 I didn't want to be this person that would when 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.520 they want to say America wants you to get all 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.400 every black man say, Yo, niggas, don't chuch blood people 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.320 with it.
