Speaker 1: You know her, well, let me see her. Let me
Speaker 1: say this. I've been paying attention to your journey for
Speaker 1: a very long time, and congratulations because this I know
Speaker 1: that this success is is uh well deserved. You've been
Speaker 1: grinding for a very long time. I've been seeing other
Speaker 1: chicks pop off and you know, you've been here the
Speaker 1: whole time, and like to finally see you kind of
Speaker 1: break through his delptacy. Thank you so much. It's been, like,
Speaker 1: like you said, a long ass journey. Yeah. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: change it, man, Like if I could go back, like,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done anything different, Like yeah, because I
Speaker 1: feel like you were shout out to you too, because
Speaker 1: I remember it was it you were an RCA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then uh you, I mean they didn't do shit
Speaker 1: with you, they didn't know what to do with you.
Speaker 1: And then the RUSS record popped, and I think right
Speaker 1: when the Rust record popped, you became like a free agent.
Speaker 1: I was actually a free agent a week before to us, right,
Speaker 1: like it all lined up. It's like the stars of
Speaker 1: line for it was god bro like for real, like
Speaker 1: I couldn't have wrote that no other way. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, I'm cool cool with the you
Speaker 1: know your old A and r h RCA shout out,
Speaker 1: leave him a name, very that's my boy, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But yeah, I remember always thinking like man,
Speaker 1: this girl being so fire like like and then I
Speaker 1: would see other chicks who are as fire as you, like,
Speaker 1: you know, catch some ship, and I'm like man. And
Speaker 1: then that Russ record happened, and I remember someone telling them.
Speaker 1: I think Russ told me. Russe was like, yo, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's a free agent now, and I was like, oh shit.
Speaker 1: And then when I found out you were with Epic,
Speaker 1: I'm you're in good hands now. Yeah. I love it
Speaker 1: over there like we love Epic. Yeah. And now now
Speaker 1: you got this this whole lot of money song that's
Speaker 1: going insane crazy. Yeah. So for people who don't know,
Speaker 1: how long have you been rapping? So I've been rapping
Speaker 1: probably for like I want to say ten years, but
Speaker 1: like really like really really rapping for probably like seven years,
Speaker 1: Like yeah about that. And so for like I'm you
Speaker 1: originally did did Pharrell kind of discover you? Like kind
Speaker 1: of give us a background on you and Pharrell like
Speaker 1: like back back when you kind of because I think
Speaker 1: that that's how maybe some people might have first heard
Speaker 1: of you. So actually family discovered me. Shout out to family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's Virginia, He's the original because like you know, nobody
Speaker 1: believed in me until he did, and then you know,
Speaker 1: it was just just him believing in me for a
Speaker 1: long time. And then you know then Forarrell and and
Speaker 1: it was just it's really hard when you have to
Speaker 1: put all that pressure on on just only two people,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, to try to get
Speaker 1: the world to see what you see that early on
Speaker 1: is like it's very hard to do. And you know,
Speaker 1: I respect and love them forever for doing that for me,
Speaker 1: because when you stamp something that early, it's like that's genuine,
Speaker 1: that's big. Yeah, I mean. And then also like you know,
Speaker 1: Forrell outside of Calice, like I don't, I can't. I mean,
Speaker 1: the police is obviously a singer, but like, I mean
Speaker 1: to have someone like that co sign you as a
Speaker 1: female MC. And by the way, but at the time,
Speaker 1: you know, there's been this big female MC renaissance which
Speaker 1: has been amazing to see, but at the time, I
Speaker 1: feel like it was just so it was kind of
Speaker 1: a weird time to be a female rapper, right because
Speaker 1: it was really just nicky and then it was like
Speaker 1: I mean everybody, I mean, it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: there was like people like Nitty Scott MC and Rhapsody
Speaker 1: and all these dope like people making noise on the underground.
Speaker 1: But it was really like, I'm so happy that the
Speaker 1: ceiling has gotten broken through of their only being one
Speaker 1: it female rapper at a time, because that's it's over
Speaker 1: with now. I mean, I think it's been over with,
Speaker 1: but just now you have the industry accepting it because
Speaker 1: it's a different thing when there's always been girls wrapping.
Speaker 1: Of course, there's always been girls that were fired, you know,
Speaker 1: and they just didn't get there, dude, because you know
Speaker 1: the way it was set up. So it's like now
Speaker 1: that I think like as one girl starts to go
Speaker 1: and another girl goes, and another girl goes, it's making
Speaker 1: people open their eyes and making labels wake up and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, listen, week festivals, everything. We have to
Speaker 1: start pouring into the girls a little bit more because
Speaker 1: there's something going on here. The people are picking it,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. The people are the
Speaker 1: ones that consumers are speaking through. Yeah, one d P.
Speaker 1: When you first kind of started to see this record,
Speaker 1: this Whole Lot of Money record go crazy on TikTok,
Speaker 1: Like what was like like, like, what was the moment
Speaker 1: where you realize, oh, this shit's this is gonna's kind
Speaker 1: of a thing. Was it like a certain person who
Speaker 1: did something to it? Like, because it seemed like it
Speaker 1: popped pretty quick. I we were in Puerto Rico shooting
Speaker 1: the video and you know, just on like a little
Speaker 1: recording vacation. And then when we came back is when
Speaker 1: it was it was going viral like the day we
Speaker 1: came back, and we loved Whole Lot of Money, like
Speaker 1: my whole team, like everybody on my side. We we
Speaker 1: always felt like that record was special, but we just
Speaker 1: like we were in the business of just letting the
Speaker 1: people pick what they love and you know, moving on
Speaker 1: to the next record, Like we don't get married to
Speaker 1: anything or think like, oh, if this doesn't work out,
Speaker 1: it's over. You know, we're always in the in the
Speaker 1: game to just keep it, keep it, keep the momentum rolling.
Speaker 1: So we didn't expect it, but after it happened, we
Speaker 1: were so happy about it because it was one that
Speaker 1: you guys already loved. Yeah, it was the one that
Speaker 1: we were like, oh, we added this song last, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, we we didn't really fight for it because
Speaker 1: it wasn't a fight, but we were all like, do
Speaker 1: we shure we think we should have this? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have to. Like do you feel like back in
Speaker 1: like when you first kind of started, Like was that
Speaker 1: an uphill battle to be like man, I like you
Speaker 1: got to kind of get a single pop you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? That was the worst right, Like it's
Speaker 1: like and your man, he's the king of that, Like
Speaker 1: he's the king of like certain people, my old A
Speaker 1: and R he was the king of like you need
Speaker 1: a hit single? Hey, by the way, similar things happen
Speaker 1: with other people, and that works for some people. Don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like that also stalled out a
Speaker 1: lot of dope artists on that same label. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say that that either that's like the
Speaker 1: that's cancer to an artist, Like when you don't allow
Speaker 1: them to be productive and consistent, you kill their momentum.
Speaker 1: So it's like you kill everything that they have going on.
Speaker 1: So for some artists that works, they could come out
Speaker 1: the gate with one hit, then wait until they get
Speaker 1: the next one, then come out the gate with another hit.
Speaker 1: But that's not how you build fans. That's not how
Speaker 1: you build the identity because if you're known as like
Speaker 1: the radio artist, and what happens when you don't have
Speaker 1: a radio record, and that's just not the artist I
Speaker 1: want it to be, right, I have more depth. I
Speaker 1: felt like there was a lot of music that I
Speaker 1: had that wasn't going to see the light of day,
Speaker 1: that needed to see the light of day. And were
Speaker 1: you able to take any of your stuff that you
Speaker 1: recorded over there with you? I didn't. I didn't. But
Speaker 1: that's okay because my boys will tell you, like I
Speaker 1: record bro, like I could cut records, like I'll go
Speaker 1: in there. I could have a day where I might
Speaker 1: leave with three. I could have a day where I
Speaker 1: might leave with six. You know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: everybody that's ever been in the studio with me knows
Speaker 1: that and they know it's it's more where that came from.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, sometimes like that that'll happen
Speaker 1: where an artist will be like, damn, like, I'm really
Speaker 1: married to these songs. But if you're really, like, if
Speaker 1: you're really that motherfucker, like, it's all good. You just
Speaker 1: to make new ones, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: And also what that mentality you're talking about is it
Speaker 1: almost like I hate to see when when really dope
Speaker 1: motherfuckers like get put in situations where the label really
Speaker 1: make them question themselves a second guess how dope they
Speaker 1: are because the single ain't hit or you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's like, man, like your fire, Like I've
Speaker 1: been thinking you're fire for a long time. And did
Speaker 1: you ever have that situation where you kind of started
Speaker 1: to question yourself, like because I know, you know, the
Speaker 1: old conventional way of this shit was, hey, we need it,
Speaker 1: we need a single to pop you off. That was
Speaker 1: my whole I felt like that was the whole beginning
Speaker 1: of my career where I felt like I was constantly
Speaker 1: questioning myself and my own abilities because it wasn't working,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what am I doing wrong? What am
Speaker 1: I doing wrong? I'm constantly going back to the drawing
Speaker 1: board and trying to reinvent or come up with something
Speaker 1: else or mimic what they're telling me. I should be
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. And I got to
Speaker 1: a place where I was like, I don't know what happened, really,
Speaker 1: but I got charged up, like you know when you
Speaker 1: just you stopped taking shit and you just like you
Speaker 1: know what you got. I got so angry that it
Speaker 1: forced me to no longer seek no validation and just
Speaker 1: pour that into myself like yeah, like it's almost like
Speaker 1: you're here for a reason. It's because you're dope, Like
Speaker 1: just yeah, just be do you how? And it took
Speaker 1: the fun out of it, yeah, because then it feels
Speaker 1: like a job, because then you're not creating for the
Speaker 1: love or for yourself. You're creating for what you think
Speaker 1: people want to hear exactly. And then when I got
Speaker 1: back to the basics, like when I got out of
Speaker 1: the label situation and I had nobody, just my friends.
Speaker 1: We were going to the studio every day, you know,
Speaker 1: just recording as friends, and I'm like, you know, this
Speaker 1: is fun, this is this is why we did this.
Speaker 1: This is what this used to feel like. So now
Speaker 1: I just chase that, Like as long as I'm having
Speaker 1: a good time and I'm around good people, good energy,
Speaker 1: and I protect that vibe. I don't work with everybody
Speaker 1: because you can't get that way. Who's who are artists
Speaker 1: that you enjoy working with where you get that vibe
Speaker 1: like or producers, just someone who who you've gotten in with.
Speaker 1: You're like, this is this is great. I love my
Speaker 1: homeboys Little Rich and Disease. They are like two of
Speaker 1: my best friends and they're hilarious. He's hilarious. He has
Speaker 1: me cracking up whull time. London Jay is really fire.
Speaker 1: T Romano like any other art about any other arts
Speaker 1: that you've gotten, artists just felt organic and Russ Russ's
Speaker 1: he's a genius. Yeah. I saw the video of you
Speaker 1: guys working on Best on Earth together and it just
Speaker 1: felt is a vibe like he's he's so talented and
Speaker 1: you know, like, honestly, Pharrell is a vibe to be
Speaker 1: in a studio with, like to soak up if like
Speaker 1: anyone that's ever been in a studio with Pharrell to
Speaker 1: soak up from him and to see his process, like
Speaker 1: you'll learn some shit Like so, yeah, Pharrell, I think
Speaker 1: is uh, you know, there's a few guys that I
Speaker 1: think every artist has like on their checklist to work with.
Speaker 1: It's like doctor Dre Pharrell. Yeah, he's like that. Like
Speaker 1: I would just watch him like wow, Like did you
Speaker 1: learn a lot that you replied to your own creative
Speaker 1: process from being around him so much? Absolutely, Like if
Speaker 1: something don't feel right, I get off of it, like
Speaker 1: you know, like I don't sit there and try to
Speaker 1: write a line for like ten hours, Like if it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right, it's like move on. Let's move on, Like,
Speaker 1: let's move on and come back to it, because it's
Speaker 1: be natural. It should feel good. It shouldn't feel like homework. Hey,
Speaker 1: and then the the you know, I think that that
Speaker 1: moment with Best on Earth was big because again, you
Speaker 1: had just got out of your deal that that record
Speaker 1: went crazy. Obviously, Russ he puts out a I think,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of artists should follow his blueprint
Speaker 1: in terms in terms of just how he releases music
Speaker 1: and builds his fans. But like it was one of
Speaker 1: the records that he you know, he puts out a
Speaker 1: lot of songs that record comes out, I think was
Speaker 1: Rihanna posted it right and it was just off to
Speaker 1: the races, Like what was that first of all at
Speaker 1: the time. Russ. I think Russ is another person who
Speaker 1: everything he does is very organic as far as the
Speaker 1: people he works with, Like I never see Russ force
Speaker 1: any features. Like he's like, yo, if I fuck with him,
Speaker 1: I fuck with him like he was he was a
Speaker 1: fan of you to work with him. Yes, I was
Speaker 1: a fan of him too, so like I love his music.
Speaker 1: So when he hit me he's in La, He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm in LA, Like you know, I got some studio sessions.
Speaker 1: And he don't even do studio sessions like out at
Speaker 1: the studio. He recorded at home at home yea. So
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, I'm out here. I don't really
Speaker 1: do this shit, but I got session. If you've got time,
Speaker 1: I'd like for you to pull up. I got some
Speaker 1: beats for you. So he had some beats originally and
Speaker 1: to play me. As I was listening to them, we
Speaker 1: heard the best on earth Beat and we were like, man,
Speaker 1: let's get on this right now. We just both felt it.
Speaker 1: Cut it right away. He did a hook, I did
Speaker 1: the other half he did a verse. I did the
Speaker 1: other half for the verse. So it was it was organic,
Speaker 1: like real, that's fire, that's fire. We were talking earlier
Speaker 1: about shrooms. You said you've had some bad shroom experiences.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the craziest shroom experience you've had. He
Speaker 1: just put me on the spot. Listen, we've all, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we've all had bad I don't
Speaker 1: know because I don't want people to think I'm weird.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, because you did trooms,
Speaker 1: because like my experience, Oh yeah, tell me what happened, please,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want them to be like she was tripping.
Speaker 1: So I saw a UFO like I was in Brickle,
Speaker 1: you know, I was looking out looking out my hotel.
Speaker 1: I saw you. It's in Miami, right in Miami. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw a UFO. It was like four in the morning.
Speaker 1: I'm laying with my boyfriend and we're both looking at it.
Speaker 1: But we felt asleep, but we were awake. It was weird.
Speaker 1: It's like my mind was awake but my eyes was closed,
Speaker 1: but I was fully awake. I wasn't sleep and then
Speaker 1: I opened my eyes. So let me not say my
Speaker 1: eyes was closed. This is not making sense AnyWho. I
Speaker 1: was laying down, I was looking out the window and
Speaker 1: I saw a UFO. I didn't want to say anything, like, yo,
Speaker 1: you see that UFO because I didn't want to think
Speaker 1: I was crazy. Did he see the UFO as well?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. So the next day I saw
Speaker 1: the uf I asked him, like I told somebody in
Speaker 1: front of him. I'm like, oh, you know, I thought
Speaker 1: I saw a UFO yesterday. He said, I seen it too,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to say anything because I thought
Speaker 1: I was tripping and I wanted to see if you
Speaker 1: would bring it up today. And I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: I saw it, like I knew it was a UFO.
Speaker 1: It was doing this little weird shit and then it
Speaker 1: just shot and disintegrated, like shot down and disintegrated and
Speaker 1: what the fuck flies down? Everything flies up? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It was like, Yo, what's crazy is
Speaker 1: they just put a video out? Do you see that
Speaker 1: video that just came out that they confirmed is real.
Speaker 1: It's like a naval ship and they have like their
Speaker 1: radar thing and the government said it's like a real video.
Speaker 1: I know because I've been meeting people that have seen
Speaker 1: it. It It was in the sky that but UFO. No,
Speaker 1: it was a UFO in the sky over the water
Speaker 1: and then it dived down into the water and disappeared.
Speaker 1: That's what I saw. That's what I saw. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding bro like and Obama just came out two
Speaker 1: days ago and said that the ship is real. There's UFOs.
Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly what it was, but I
Speaker 1: know that that wasn't something that I was normal. I've
Speaker 1: never seen it again. I was only I only seen
Speaker 1: it on shrooms. So ever since, I've been wanting to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I've just been wanting to see some shit
Speaker 1: like that again. But I feel like you can only
Speaker 1: crack those levels maybe on like the right amount of shrooms.
Speaker 1: You Yeah, I think that they're I mean, listen, I
Speaker 1: mean there's no proven science, but I think if you something,
Speaker 1: something gets unlocked in your brain, maybe you could see
Speaker 1: things a little bit different. You know, your third eye
Speaker 1: gets a little I don't know, man, I mean you
Speaker 1: know how shit starts melting sometimes when you're on shruck. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, like one time my whole fridge was melting,
Speaker 1: Like I looked at left sliding down I'm like, what
Speaker 1: is going on? Yeah, the last time I did shrooms,
Speaker 1: I was in Texas and me and Freddie Gibbs were
Speaker 1: at a bar fucked up and there was some chick
Speaker 1: dancing by herself and her face was censored like she
Speaker 1: was on Cops. What Her face was all scrambled and
Speaker 1: shit like, like, you know, like there was a censor
Speaker 1: like her face was censored. And I was like, Bro,
Speaker 1: I was like, bro, you see this bitch like in
Speaker 1: my tripping or is her face fucking like she looks
Speaker 1: like she's on an episode of Cops? And did he
Speaker 1: see it? I don't think he. So I was really

Speaker 1: peers have that luxury of coming from that background, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because it's a different generation. You know,
Speaker 1: gen Z is a little different. They don't really respect
Speaker 1: like the new generation is, Like I don't funk about
Speaker 1: them old heads like Knowing and their biggest affluences are
Speaker 1: Chief Keith and Soldier Boy, and I like Chief Keith
Speaker 1: and Story. Yeah of course. But I also I respect
Speaker 1: music I grew up on like NAS and like, you know,
Speaker 1: real rap. So what's your okay? How about this besides Zillmatic?
Speaker 1: What's your favorite NAS album? Still Madic, still Manic? I
Speaker 1: respect it. I respect it. The Lost Tapes too, Oh
Speaker 1: I could. I could definitely run back the Lost Tapes
Speaker 1: and pop first, No, the first Lost tapes. Okay I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was hoping you didn't say Lost Tapes too, because
Speaker 1: part two of Lost Tapes that came out a couple
Speaker 1: years ago was No, I'm talking about first Lost Tapes,
Speaker 1: Lost Tapes, the original Rags Purple. Yeah, like I love
Speaker 1: like Laser fifty. Blazer fifty is one of the best
Speaker 1: storytelling songs ever. That's the one thing when I when
Speaker 1: I never I talked to Nas next, I want to
Speaker 1: ask like that anymore. I want to ask nas what
Speaker 1: what what girl was Blaze of fifty about? Because she
Speaker 1: fucked someone on the Broncos during their Super Bowl run
Speaker 1: and she fucked you, so who was it? I think
Speaker 1: she said what she used to fuck to Real Davis
Speaker 1: from the Broncos on that song. Shout out to Nas man.
Speaker 1: I have to run that one back. Who's your favorite?
Speaker 1: If you had to give me your top five all time?
Speaker 1: Who is it? Top five? I hate that question favorite
Speaker 1: not greatest of all time? Because you know, there's two
Speaker 1: different questions. I got artists that are my family question.
Speaker 1: Like every time I put push a t I put
Speaker 1: push the tea, so higo on my favorites of all time,
Speaker 1: and people get offended because I put them above like
Speaker 1: Lil Wayne. But what I'd be like, bro, it's my
Speaker 1: favorite like people that are my favorites as people or
Speaker 1: people like your favorite as music, not as people. I
Speaker 1: can't put that into five. Give me just throw some
Speaker 1: names you don't even get maybe maybe like three, give
Speaker 1: me three names, no order, no order, Rihanna, aliya, Okay,
Speaker 1: give me some rappers I want. I want to talking
Speaker 1: hip hop here. Okay, I don't have to reread. We
Speaker 1: need some music for music. It's been too long, Okay.
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be cliche. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I really like Okay, Like I would
Speaker 1: put jay Z up there because, like I just I mean,
Speaker 1: he's He's jay Z. He wraps really good. I would
Speaker 1: put Drake up there because Drake's penn to me. I
Speaker 1: finally met Drake two weeks ago. He had he had
Speaker 1: the softest hands ever. I gave him a dap and
Speaker 1: I was like, I just felt like I dapped up
Speaker 1: a pillow, Like what kind of explos I just yeah,
Speaker 1: he gotta be doing something. I gotta get some hand masks.
Speaker 1: He's the only artist I've ever met that I felt
Speaker 1: had an actual like aura around him. Like I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's because he rapped so good. Yes, me and Freddie
Speaker 1: Gives met him meta some some bar over here and
Speaker 1: we got we took shots with him, and I was like, Yo,

Speaker 1: the skin routine, but super nice guys. So drake cove
Speaker 1: give me one more name. Mm I just don't want
Speaker 1: to get like ridiculed. You won't come on. Who gives
Speaker 1: a fuck? Fuck the internet? Okay, and no, I'm really
Speaker 1: really thinking about this because, like I'm going down. There's
Speaker 1: a couple of people that throw a couple names out there. Okay.
Speaker 1: I love Travis, I love Future, I love Little Babies.
Speaker 1: Rowdy Rich's music is crazy to me. Those are like
Speaker 1: some of my favorite artists. I listen to them all
Speaker 1: the time in the rap world. Who would you say,
Speaker 1: personally has influenced your style the most? Me? You? Okay?
Speaker 1: Oh and wait, time out, time out. I forgot somebody
Speaker 1: really high on my list that I have to throw
Speaker 1: up there because he hasn't put on music in a
Speaker 1: really long time, but when he does, I'm waiting to
Speaker 1: hear it. Kendrick. I forgot Kendrick, but don't ever let
Speaker 1: me forget Kendrick again. Kendrick is ah. I always tell
Speaker 1: people he's top five all time, no debate, because if
Speaker 1: you're putting Biggie in your top five and big he
Speaker 1: only put out two albums, you gotta put Kendrick in
Speaker 1: your shit because he's put out classic, classic, classic. Good
Speaker 1: Kid Mass City was one of the most incredibly constructed
Speaker 1: bodies of work I've ever heard in my entire life.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. The first time I heard backseat freestyle,
Speaker 1: I almost jumped out the window, like out the car
Speaker 1: in a moving car on the highway. You didn't it
Speaker 1: right now, yah, or you'd be here. You would just
Speaker 1: look fucked up, like what happened to be a man?
Speaker 1: Her face is all fucked up. She jumps out of
Speaker 1: a vehicle fifty miles an hour. Wow, it was good
Speaker 1: Kid mass City? Yeah, it was Ayle. What I mean?
Speaker 1: I know that festivals are coming up, finally, shows are
Speaker 1: opening back up, thank god, thank god. I know you
Speaker 1: have some big shows that you're on coming up. In
Speaker 1: this it was the summertime. What are some of that
Speaker 1: which ones. Are you looking forward to the most? Looking
Speaker 1: forward to the most rolling loud Lollapalooza. Yeah, both of
Speaker 1: those are crazy. The rolling Loud lineup is almost unfair.
Speaker 1: It's like, who is not on that show? It looks
Speaker 1: so fun it almost looks fake. It's such a good lineup.
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm happy to be on it. You're gonna
Speaker 1: really fuck that show up. I was gonna say, do
Speaker 1: you do like when you do a festival show that
Speaker 1: is for a big crowd that maybe not everyone's there
Speaker 1: just for you as opposed to when you do a
Speaker 1: b a show, do you do you approach them differently
Speaker 1: or is it the same vibe? No matter what? Nah,
Speaker 1: I go to fuck up every show every time I
Speaker 1: have a show, like I'm going, I'm I'm taking people
Speaker 1: with me. You crowds forever? No, because I wear like
Speaker 1: jewelry and I have titties and I don't want to
Speaker 1: wait to grab Yeah, I feel like it be it's
Speaker 1: tough for chicks to CrowdSurf. I just saw some girl
Speaker 1: CrowdSurf who didn't get growth. Who was it, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I was like, hey, good, good for those. It
Speaker 1: depends like it depends what I'm wearing if I were CrowdSurf,
Speaker 1: because if I had heels, I wouldn't CrowdSurf if I
Speaker 1: had like you know, some I I'm not crowdsurfing. Don't
Speaker 1: want to nip slip popping up. He Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: want to nip slip. That's fair, that's fair. Who is
Speaker 1: it that you're like, I know you got a lot
Speaker 1: of records in the chamber right now. Can you give
Speaker 1: us a little revelation on maybe some records you got
Speaker 1: with some other artists that you're excited for people to hear.
Speaker 1: I got a song coming out with g Herbal in
Speaker 1: the streets is asking me for it's sweatie hmmm. Ge
Speaker 1: Herbo is a good dude. Yeah, he's fine. So you
Speaker 1: got the g Herbal record coming, Yeah, it's stupid. Then
Speaker 1: I got some joints with my girl, Iggy. Oh Iggy.
Speaker 1: Do you know? Iggy's one of the nicest people I've
Speaker 1: ever met. She's so nice. I always you know, she
Speaker 1: gets a lot of criticism and you know, however you
Speaker 1: feel about her and her music, But when I met her,
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, you're like the sweetest girl, Like like,
Speaker 1: you know, she I feel like genuine. A lot of people,
Speaker 1: you know, the media, hip hop in general, probably paints
Speaker 1: her in an unfair light because if you meet her,
Speaker 1: he'd be like, she's such a sweetheart. Facts, that's how
Speaker 1: I felt. So you and Iggy have multiple songs, We
Speaker 1: have a couple, maybe a little project, little joint project.
Speaker 1: Oh no, not that. But we got went off mine,
Speaker 1: I got one off hers and they're both fire. What
Speaker 1: about any more music with Russ? No, but we are

Speaker 1: you you said that you put Rihanna's your all time?
Speaker 1: How how awesome was it to know that Rihanna heard
Speaker 1: your music like that? You know she she was a
Speaker 1: fan of Best on her Like, that's got to be
Speaker 1: a big fucking deal deal. She's like the goddess of
Speaker 1: this show. She didn't get no bigger, no better than Rihanna.
Speaker 1: To me, I always have arguments with people. And I
Speaker 1: love Beyonce. I love her right, She's the greatest entertainer
Speaker 1: probably of our generation. But I love Rihanna's music so
Speaker 1: much more. I love both. I love both too, but
Speaker 1: that versus But like, why do people do that, Like
Speaker 1: why do people be like, oh I love this person,
Speaker 1: it's really just my wife I argue with about this.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I hate when people do that because
Speaker 1: it's like I Liken, it's harder than Beyonce. No, you're
Speaker 1: fucking grand, Like you gotta just let them both do
Speaker 1: what they do, you know what I'm saying. That's what people.
Speaker 1: I hate when people compare, not compare me because I
Speaker 1: take comparisons like in a good way now, because I'd
Speaker 1: be like, oh, she's beautiful, That's a nice compliment whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't take it bad. But I feel
Speaker 1: like when it comes to the artistry, like you gotta
Speaker 1: let people. I like when people let me do what
Speaker 1: I do, Like, don't don't put me in that. You know.
Speaker 1: What I like nowadays is I'm sure when you first
Speaker 1: came out, I mean, every female rapper was getting compared
Speaker 1: to Nikki. But now there's so many successful, thriving artists
Speaker 1: that the comparison she's going away. You don't hear that anymore.
Speaker 1: I get it, you get it? Who do you like? Like? Like,
