So I'll gain at least ten pounds 16 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: before the end of the season. Well, I think it's 17 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: like three. Every reason you will wait, I mean mainly 18 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: this dishes from like jail. So I personally didn't make 19 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: it a journeything. But my dad, he who taught me 20 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: this because he always fed this, which I love it 21 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: as a kid.

We like it like this, 26 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: but they had oysters and sardines and stuff like that. Yeah, 27 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the loodles like this crushed up and 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: just drop it in there. So this is a family tradition. 29 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: It is, unfortunately what it is. They say it's not good. 30 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: It's not a good thing to eat. Well, some people 31 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: that's been a jim you know, they don't like eating 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: it out. They say like it's a bad look. But 33 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a hopefully yeah, hopefully not no, 34 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: but definitely it's tasty. And as a kid, I didn't 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: think of it as a gim meal. The best junk 36 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: food meal on earth. What do you think it's gonna 37 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: look like like with these colors? What color do you 38 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: think it would be? I thought some of this was 39 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: like garnishes. That's definitely. I hate this since I was 40 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: like four. So does anyone do you feel like anyone 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: else in l A or Compton, has ever heard of 42 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: this dish? Because I know I have never heard of 43 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: you haven't heard of it. It's definitely like it's the 44 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: main thing through l A. Not even just l A 45 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: like New York, Like it's from New York and I've 46 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: that's the thing. You have to have someone that went 47 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: to jail. It's literally a jail thing. It's not even 48 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: like state and it's gonna be a jail thing. I'm 49 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: from New York, so East coast, meat West coast, everybody. Yeah, definitely, 50 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: So right now, I'm just stirring it up just to 51 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: let that water, just to loose the lot those real quick, 52 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: because you don't want them super or too soggy. So 53 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: when did you get into music? I got into music 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: when I was younger, but not like really like would 55 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: really makes me get into music. It's when my brother 56 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: got sentenced life. So that was about six years ago. 57 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: He got sense his life. Yeah he got out and 58 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: went back in. So he in jail right now. But 59 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: that's what made me like start dealing with music heavy 60 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: because I was able to cope with how I was 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: feeling that time. Um and then from their own not 62 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: just like anything I deal with.

Yeah, I don't believe 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: it was Deaf Jail. And I remember Lauren Hill when 74 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: Lauren Heill went up there in Kanye. If you find 75 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: please send that to me. I'm gonna google. I did 76 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: not know Knnie did that.

So what I did was I 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: always used to write notes in my book and just 80 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: write how I was feeling. I was the one that 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: used to sing in the shower, just playing around. I 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: didn't know that I could actually make a song. Like 83 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: my brother went to jail.

You got to reach all 100 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: over the world. Now do you find yourself like sick 101 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: of the song?

But right now I'm at a 108 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: point where the new music I'm making is more and me. 109 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: I got to know myself way more so when I 110 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: made that song, it was in the beginning, you know, 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: like I'm a whole different person. I always have to 112 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: perform that song. So I'm sick of it for that reason, 113 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: but i could never stop loving it. Yeah, but I'm 114 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: thanking for the song, but I'm definitely on a new way, 115 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: Like I just I dropped the song in March called 116 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Purple Rain, and it was so different from what I 117 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: usually do, So I think that my fans are kind 118 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: of understanding what I'm going with it. Do you feel 119 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: like pressure now following up that way? Yeah? I always 120 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: feel pressure because the way it hit, it literally didn't 121 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: happen overnight, but it hits so fast, Like everybody loved 122 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: it and everywhere I go there like can you seeing this? 123 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: And they're singing it? And like even the producers when 124 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: they send me beats, they send me beats related to 125 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: that song. You know, that's not the way I'm on 126 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: no more. But it's like it is pressure. But when 127 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: you know who you are, you comfortable, you know what 128 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: you've got in the storage, never really stressed about it. 129 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: You look extremely young. I don't know if I'm allowed 130 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: to address this. No, No, you look so young. Yeah, 131 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't eat. I don't I'll never play the guests 132 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: and game. I'm gonna play it safe, especially for someone 133 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: that's cooking for me. Oh yeah, how would you think 134 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: I am. I'm not gonna say, but I'll let you think. 135 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm not guessing the least skip next question? Good, no, 136 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: because it can go anywhere from like thirteen the next 137 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: time the time. Yeah, but you know what, I hate. 138 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: I hate to say what I'm about to say, but 139 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, it sounds like you're you got your family 140 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: has a little background in jail, and maybe like a 141 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: thirteen year old tattoo. She didn't mean it. I didn't 142 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: mean it. Breaking. Actually, my family they rested. It was 143 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: hard for me to get this tattoo. Mama was mad, 144 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: She's like, you better making a rabbit because you got 145 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: that tattoo or Nicknall. Yeah, I can't believe you know. 146 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: I knew Kaylanni I was first started, she was signed 147 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: with Nick Cannon and I worked with him for a 148 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: long time, and she was she had to be like 149 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen and you had gotten a tattoo, I think 150 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: on her face and I remember going up to her like, 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: oh my god, someone's gotta save this girl. Like you know, 152 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: it was the beginning of her music crush. She was 153 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: super talented but struggling artists, and I was terrified because 154 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: she had got this visible tattoo. And I was like, 155 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to say something, girl, what's you thinking? You 156 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. What's your thinking? What if this 157 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: music don't work out? And you know what her response 158 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: was was like I don't care. This is all I 159 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: want to do. And if I don't do this, I'll 160 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: phold T shirts at the store or whatever. And she 161 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: was so determined. It's crazy to see her blow up now. 162 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: And I think it takes that level of as an artist, 163 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: you know, like you sit back and you're watching everybody 164 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: else around you. You know, if you're gonna make it, 165 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: like you know, that's the artist that separate. Like I 166 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: remember Nify said this, the only thing that I did 167 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: was not stuck. So if you know you won't stop 168 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: that little bit of you're gonna give up, so you know, 169 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: but if you keep going at it, and that's what 170 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: she did. She went number one last year, did you Yeah, 171 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: she she had I think that went number one. I 172 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: would love to see you guys do a collapse. Oh yeah, definitely. 173 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: We talked about it. I've met Colonne Um last year. 174 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: Actually I met her. She came to one of my performances, 175 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: but unfortunately a girl had got stubbed or something and 176 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: they had to like shoot it them and were laughing. 177 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: After that we talked. Then became cool for us. I 178 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: tried to give him my video. Didn't work out with Clune. Yeah, 179 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have her. We have to have her come 180 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: visit the show. She definitely has had her her moments. 181 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: So what would you say is the most challenging uh 182 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: thing that you had to endure so far as an artist, 183 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: especially being female, especially going at the hip hop like, 184 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure you had to have face some kind of uh, 185 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: you know what it is. I'm gonna keep the tra here, 186 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start drinking the noodles. What it is is, ah, 187 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: the comparisons I feel like as far as females, you know, 188 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: you gotta have a rapper that sounds the same as 189 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: every other rapper. But when it comes to females, I 190 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people are harder on female artists. 191 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: And that's fun. You kind of got it, but you 192 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: you gotta realize that before you come in. You know, 193 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be that hard, like, and 194 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: I feel like it's not a lot of respect um there. 195 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: But other than that, like I just had to deal 196 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: with being compared to any and every artist, Like I 197 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: got compared to them, no, no foul to them. I 198 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: love these artists. I got compared to Dash Love, which 199 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: is understandable. I got compared to Younger May Now that 200 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: part I don't get because you don't seem to like 201 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: but I love Younger. Maybe it's like everywhere I turned, 202 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: I was getting compared you know to this person that person, 203 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: So you have like their fans won't even give you 204 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: a chance because they'll think you're a knock off, you 205 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But as time goes, I'm actually 206 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: like getting over that part. I haven't heard something like 207 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: that love probably like a year. So that means, you know, 208 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm just coping it to my own But other than that. 209 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: It's that, and then it's just the industry is like 210 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: high school like politics, and you know, you just gotta 211 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: be conscious of the type of people you have around you. 212 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: That's the main thing. Be cautious of the people you 213 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: haven't around you. I see your crew, it seems like 214 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: they all are very tight now. Even when I was 215 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: calling in to be like what dish, it was like 216 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: immediate response. I'm like, did did they even talk to 217 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: her about the dish? Like how did they know? You know, 218 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: my dad is one of my men and my managers 219 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: and family they'll be. He's like family to me too. 220 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: I've been for a while now and we always have 221 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: like a brother and sister bomb, you know. So it 222 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: makes it even better that he's a part of the 223 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: team now and everybody else it's like, really my family. 224 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: Like my aunt is my hair stylus, so she travels 225 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: with us. My mom is like the road manager, oh night, 226 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: So it's like a family. Yeah. But before we had 227 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: people coming around trying to get in because the song 228 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: was hot, and they come in and we let some 229 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: people in that shouldn't been in, and you know that, 230 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: you you live and you learn though, so se drain 231 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: and needs. So do you look at it only from 232 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: a creative side or do you look at it from 233 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: a business side? I look at it from a business side. 234 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm really like heads on with the business. Like I 235 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,599 Speaker 1: like to look over paperwork. I like to be the 236 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: one talking to my little year, like, um, I look 237 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: at it as both. You know, So the business side, 238 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: that's the same thing. It's just the politics. You gotta 239 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: be on top of your game at all times because 240 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of these artists they don't pay attention to 241 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: what's going on around them or what's going on at paperwork. 242 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: I need to know because it's been so many times 243 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: where I almost made the real move. Yeah, but I 244 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: have my family to step in, Like Va was there. 245 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: What would you say in your career so far was 246 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: a definite like wrong move? Are you able to share it? Yeah, 247 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: you don't have to name drop. But it's just people 248 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: that want to come in and manage you. Yeah, and 249 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: they don't have the right intentions. People that come in, 250 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: they just want to take off the relationships you have. 251 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: So you might have somebody that want to come in 252 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: and manage you and then it's like okay, yeah, because 253 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: she's popular right now, but they're not really doing their job. 254 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: They're just trying to help to everybody, you know, come 255 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: back for their whole benefit. I have that issue. That's 256 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: like the main thing with this industry. Other than that, 257 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: there hasn't been no crazy issues for me yet. Again, 258 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: do you feel like any of your friends have switched up? 259 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: Because I know some people where their friends get a 260 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: little uncomfortable, they're like, oh, well you're blowing up. So 261 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't even feel like I don't feel secure enough 262 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: to reach out. You have that, and then you have 263 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: the other extreme. It's definitely like, say, this family, Like 264 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: I said, my family is close to me, but it's 265 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: the family that I grew up with that I've dealt 266 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: with all my life, who switched up all behind the 267 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: music scene just because of the music, you know. So 268 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking about family that's like your best friends growing 269 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: up and then now I don't even talk to him 270 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: it's been like four years. Yeah, yeah, so those are 271 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: type of issues. Definitely. Yeah, I see a plastic bag 272 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: coming out everybody. She just pulled out a plastic bag. 273 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: So this is a real Yes, Okay, what's going on here? 274 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna do this. Let's actually all that this kind 275 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: of it's kind of hot. So what I'm gonna do 276 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: right now, actually, since you don't have an extra bag, 277 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just crush this up. You want to crush 278 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: everything up when we get this bag out the way, Okay, 279 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: all right, so we just want to crushure every pure good. 280 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: I should have brought a thunder on this episode. I 281 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: got a crush the chips up. So typically, if you 282 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: were in jail, this would be in a plastic bag 283 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: and you just break it up. And they put it 284 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: in the bag and just break it up. You didn't 285 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: want to just use your bag? Might as well. I mean, 286 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: don't worry. We're not jumping over here. We're not judging 287 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: at all. I could put the chips with the beet 288 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: jerk I gotta pull apart, non think pieces of beat 289 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: jerky either, and the beans I'll do least. Let me 290 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: get the chip. I wasn't too sure if you were 291 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: cooking the beans with a nacho or no. Well, yeah, 292 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna make sense. So I've never been so excited 293 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: and intry. It's so good. What's your favorite this? I'm 294 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: Jamaican oxtail and then second New York Chinese okay, but 295 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: not l a Chinese. I never had no other Chinese, 296 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: but Chinese. Ill here is terrible. It's horrible. And the 297 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: pizza okay, okay, yeah you know New York, I got 298 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: pizza every block. Yeah.

But at the 364 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: same time, my mom and my dad they both like 365 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: kept a roof over us, like it wasn't like homeless 366 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: or don't like that. But we experienced till times where 367 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: you know, like my mom was just telling me, like, 368 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: y'all sometimes I feel like y'all spoiled these days kids, 369 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: But y'all don't know how it is or you don't 370 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: know what you don't eat. But we never knew because 371 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: the hype that from. You know, do you think growing 372 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: up in the hood or where everyone in the neighborhoods 373 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: on the same budget, it's like you don't even notice 374 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: stature broke because it's like everybody's eating. Nobody's coming home 375 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: eating a lobster, so you don't really know. Yeah, that's 376 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: a that's a fact.

So what can your fans expect in 456 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: the Yeah, a lot of music this year. Like last year, 457 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: I always dropped like one project and go goes because 458 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: I was having issues when I said behind the scenes 459 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: getting my team together. But this year we altogether be ready. 460 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna drop two projects, two projects 461 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: as a single, as an LPs, like ten like ten songs, projects, mixtapes, 462 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: a lot of singles. Yeah, I'm gonna just stay consistent 463 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: the whole year. But now, don't you have to stay 464 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: consistent in working one single to get into poper is it? 465 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: Just like? Yeah, I always drop one single like something 466 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: I feel like it's a banger, like Purple Rain I 467 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: dropped at of March that went crazy. I got a 468 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: hundred thousand streams the first week. So now on the 469 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: business side of things, when you're releasing an album, like, 470 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: do you make money off the music or do you 471 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: just make money off of Yeah, because I'm independent, but 472 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: I got a distribution with Empire, but I'm independent, so 473 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: I still own my masters. So like if I do 474 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: a song, if I drop a song, I get paid 475 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: off of it. Now, in today's world, just to break 476 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: down distribution for artists on the rise, what do you 477 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: exactly need distribution for in a digital age? And this 478 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: is a serious I have no idea question, Okay, seriously, 479 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: um the distribution. So basically, Woul imper a different me. 480 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: They distribute the distribute music everywhere Spotify, Amazon. You know, 481 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: you could do it yourself, but sometimes it gets a 482 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: little hard because they might take it down if you 483 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: don't do it the proper way. Spotify to people use 484 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: tune core to distribute their music of Spotify, Apple, Amazon, 485 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: they distribute your videos. They help you. Also, they give 486 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: you like a marketing budget, so they'll give you money 487 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: to help market yourself. So it's like a record label. 488 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: It's it's like it's definitely especially they're giving a marketing budget. 489 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: They just take their percentag job, which is always a 490 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: short amount, or for me it is. They take their 491 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: percentage job and then it's still on the masters. That's 492 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: one thing I don't think artist should do these days. 493 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: A sign these big little deals where you get three 494 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: hundred four hundred thousand, but you don't own your masters, 495 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: and then that's all you get. You're not gonna see 496 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: anything else. See with me and Empire, I dropped my project. 497 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: I get my whatever little male from them, but I 498 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: don't get too much where I got the exactly and 499 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: I still see revenue from my music. So how did 500 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: it feel seeing billboards in Compton that was the best 501 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: thing game. But I think I Joe pass it, but 502 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: it was the best thing about it. My exit just 503 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: did me dirty, right, I'm gonna keep going. I'm so sorry, day, 504 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I got to tell the story. My eggs 505 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: did me dirty, right, like real dirty. It was together 506 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: like the years, and she had to see that billboard 507 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: every day. That's hilarious after we broke up. Like you 508 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: don't think she tried to drive around it. She came. 509 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: It was on a freeway after he broke up. I'll 510 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: start watching that career started. Yeah, yeah, So she has 511 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: to see all types of stuff at that time, and 512 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: that bill Burt was one of them. I had to 513 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: so I had one the company and I had one 514 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: in the south Gate. I think do you think the 515 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: breakup gave you either free time to focus or do 516 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: you think that sometimes people's energy being removed can just 517 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: pave a grade all the above? Uh? After I got out, 518 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: after I got off that situation, I just bloomed into 519 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: a whole different person. And then also it gave me 520 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: a draw like I was hurting, so that hurt turned 521 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: into a hustle for me. So I'm doing that. I'm 522 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: not sleeping. I'm at the studio because you're already dealing 523 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: with what's going on. Why not deal with it in 524 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: a better way. You already can't sleep because you heard 525 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: I can't sleep, but the studio. Yeah, yeah, so that 526 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: was there ever a point in your career where you 527 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: were like, I think I'm gonna quit. Yeah, because of 528 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing with the family not supporting you know, 529 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: that bothered me because I was seeing what they were 530 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: doing for the other arts, like wearing T shirts with spaces, 531 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: and it's like him like, yeah, but I'm pumping on 532 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: my ya. It's like, so what that bothering me? Knew 533 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: it was?
