I 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.160 feel like I love a lot of their narrative content 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.880 and a lot of their story based stuff, their documentary stuff, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.280 and their videos are crazy. It's just amazing and I 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:00.240 already got crazy videos, so it's type for me to 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.720 connect with them with a team that already came up 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.880 with Chris Simmons and the people that we use on 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:11.080 our shoots and be competing and swinging at the same level. Yeah, 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.120 some of this stuff you were saying earlier that like 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.320 Pinch was like the common denominator to kind of you know, 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.120 maybe connect you guys a bit. It was a lot 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.080 of things, but that was like the first one because 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.479 he was performing at day Festival, the Head in the 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.880 Clouds thing, and I was in this trailer navigating, meeting people, 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.479 renting to Bryant. We met physically for the first time. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.240 Then we had already had mutual people just because of 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.520 Duckworth and the homie drew Banga from the Bay. You 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.800 it's crazy because I told this to Brian, Like, what 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.240 was that album he put out, Nico a couple of 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.440 years ago, Sailor. Yeah, that shit was crazy. But I 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.520 feel like he like kind of like really improved as 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.520 a fucking rapper, like heavily. Like no, he's dope. Yeah, 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.000 And I feel like You've always been dope as a rapper, 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.880 but I feel like people haven't seen you in that light. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.920 And I feel like, you know, obviously the dream Bill 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.560 thing helped, but I also feel like the quarantine bars, 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.520 like you wrap it on Instagram, the Rona wraps, whatever 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.240 you were doing was fucking It's dope because I think 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.160 it like, first of all, perfect bit to do for 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.160 you know, the pandemic expects because you were doing that 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.840 shit early, like right off the rip. But I also 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.760 think it kind of just showcased like your like your 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.320 capabilities as an MC. Did you get a lot of love, like, 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.560 Hella love I got, I got all the love I was. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.640 I feel like I was supposed to get or that 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.080 I could merit at the time. From that, I do 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.160 still wish it. I could have did more episodes, but 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.160 it just was so hard to manage after a certain point, 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.279 just like hounding niggas down to wrap in their house 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.120 as soon as the world start opening up or we 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.080 thought it was Ronner Raps was done.

Figured that shit out a week and 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.640 to me being home, it was Sam's idea. Nice. Sam 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.000 brought it up because I told her we was trying 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.920 to play content. I told him Abo wanted to do 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.280 freestyles and ship, so he was like, you might as 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.760 well freestyle with your prot hiss day at home too.

It's like my full narrative. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.080 And I feel like I really wanted to get this 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.199 off my chest so I could move past it creatively 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.160 just about talking about my origins, because that's what the 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.360 album is really. It's an origin story for me where 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.640 I'm able to talk about certain things that hurt me, 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.760 certain things that helped me, certain things that got me lit, 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.880 just my whole lifestyle before I moved to La. Do 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.120 you think because you're known for I would say, like 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.959 people know you as a personality, as a character, right, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.040 they know you to be fucking hilarious, the scammer shit 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.720 all that. Does that ever hurt you as an artist? 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.439 Like having have you ever like ran into issues where 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.960 you feel like people didn't take you serious because they 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.320 look at you more as like the funny ass dude. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.240 Has that ever been something you've noticed happening. Yeah, I 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.440 mean people have done that all my life. It's just 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.240 like it's like it that way when you I feel like, 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.720 when you look the way I do and you carry 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.840 yourself the way I do, I'm always in between worlds. Yeah, 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.120 Like I've always been the kind of creative, eclectic kid 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.760 at the same time, I'm from Oakland Senior. I's fenna 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.439 do blood like. It's it's really a duality that come 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.880 on my existence and that's part of the fault of 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.720 people not being fully tapped in with that. So I 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.480 don't I don't blame them. I'm not mad at it. 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.559 It was a time when that was frustrating, but uh, 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.680 that didn't last too long, right, And I feel like 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.880 I feel like too, just like the last couple of years, 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.319 some of the looks and like people who have co 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.959 signed you, and you know, I feel like that probably 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.800 alleviated some of that as well. Honestly, the Dreamville shit 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.400 to keep it, honey, that was like my last chip 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.280 on my shoulder, where like I went there trying to 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:55.120 trying to like prove that I belong and I am 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.240 one of the best niggas that it can make a 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.640 song that y'all can invite, right and after that and 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.040 then we went to the Grammys. In that whole ship, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.000 I started moving different creative we still I'm learning how 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.959 to scale back certain aspects of just like being Hella 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.480 good to make to make the overall experience of the 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.080 song more enjoyable, because sometimes you got pull punches, you know, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:24.040 but like that comes with time. So I'm not mad 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.520 at people for trying to It's human nature to look 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.560 at this as an ashtray and not as a cup holder, 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.280 you know what I'm saying. It could I could have 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.320 put my I actually want to move this cup because 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.480 it's it's empty and it looks ghetto. You know, we 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.319 just get rid of it. See if Nego can dispose 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.640 of a cup, he can't get the third camera working 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:52.480 camera this whole podcast. Yeah. No, like with the Dream 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.000 Build thing, who who from Dream? But was it? Eb? 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.880 Was it? Like? Who was it that originally like tapped 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.240 in with you to to become a part of the 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.800 Revenge of the Dreamer sessions? Sh Cole? It was, Yeah, 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.400 that was the original thing. I met Cole at the 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:12.120 nice guy leaving Drake's New Year's thing, and he was like, YO, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.080 take my number down before you leave. And I texted 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:19.000 him immediately and he text me back. Right, everyone says 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.280 that it was so crazy to me. I was like, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:26.760 I tell that story every time because nobody's ever done that, right, nobody, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.480 especial even people who I'm closer friends with now like Bryson. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.920 When I met Bryson, it took him a minute to 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.720 text me back, and I'm hell cool, I'm closer to Bryson, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.880 I am Cole, but that just when he text me 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.080 back like that, I was like, damn, I fuck with that. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.160 Hella fuck with that. And the homie Ryan at the time, 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.240 who I was fucking around with from a previous A 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.840 label situation, Shout Out Fly Rye was also in and 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.720 around the Dreamville camp, so we had Cole bringing me 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.280 up right like, oh no, I know that, and then 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.840 it just kind of fell into place. It worked out beautiful. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:11.280 You got a Grammy nomination, right ship. That's forever, forever, forever, 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:16.360 forever ever. Yeah, that's beautiful. You know the other thing 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.960 too that I wanted to talk to you about because 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.400 with the pandemic, you know, you kind of came into 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:25.120 the game kind of uh being nosed as a scammer, 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.000 you know what I mean, what kind of it was 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.800 that was? Ah, sure, it's still it's still a part 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:37.080 of me. Like I'm I'm revealing uh, chapters of myself 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.280 as they come and as I figure out how to 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.440 express them creatively. You know. So at first I came 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.839 out it was the internet thing. That's what I was on. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.440 I was fucking trying not to scam and I'm just 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.040 an Internet baby at heart, so that's what people see 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.120 me as. Then it was a rapper because I really 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.200 want to be one of the fucking tightiest niggas that 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.480 was barred up. So that's what niggas were seeing for me. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.600 And now I'm kind of opening up the full envelope 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.120 to just you know, just making good, timeless shit. But 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.280 I'm wondering, what the you know, with the pandemic, the 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:11.040 fucking edd shit is booming booming, Like I got friends 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.840 of mine that like have made like six figures during 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.800 the pandemic off of the d D shit, and I'm 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.680 like afraid for them because I'm like, dude, you guys 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.320 are kind of turning up a little bit much like, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:23.880 would there be any sort of advice you give to 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.440 anybody who's watching this that might be dabbling in that, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.320 because you know, it's definitely it seems like it's very 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:39.400 easy to get. I mean, for what's available to the 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:44.160 urban community that is a part of the market share 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:49.160 of fraud, all those available or like ready available are 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.960 all relatively pretty easy. When it comes to the ed 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.160 and any type of current scams. I don't know anything 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.960 about none of that shit, but if I had to 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:03.280 give advice to somebody, it would be stay off Instagram. Yeah, man, 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.280 that's the thing. People. People be flossing their ship. Like 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.560 you saw the guy who shot the music video. Oh 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.880 he he. I don't like the slander niggas, but he 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.560 was an absolute idiot, the worst. He was probably the 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.760 one of the dumbest niggas that we've ever seen ever 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.720 who could do that. Like that's he he's out looking 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.520 at him the same way some nigga in the bay 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.040 just killed two girls and went live on Instagram. That's 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.720 all that you've seen that. He's the same. He's the 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.840 same type of nigga. It's just his song was catchy, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.440 But that's the same thing. This is a crime dog. Yeah, 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.920 and you just in the act when the when the 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.200 when the lick is hot and told him where he 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.920 was at this nigga was on Rodeo and he was 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.320 still there showing the envelopes and ship. Yeah, like what 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.920 the Some people are just stupid, but I mean that's 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.800 Darwinism though, was that? You know? Obviously that guy did 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.640 that for clicks for clout And I feel like when 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.240 when when you first came out, I feel like that, 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.160 like when people first kind of became hip to you. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.640 I feel like that was the peak of the internet 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:18.880 shit dictating who was getting signed, you know, that was 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.880 like it was almost like this battle between like does 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.440 the music even fucking matter anymore? Or is it the antics? 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.680 Because motherfucking like, you know, ig comedians were getting record 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.440 deals and shit and the music was not good. You 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.960 kind of I feel like we're like a pick perfect 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.880 mixture of like both worlds because you kind of figured 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.520 out how to be like funny on the internet, but 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.240 your shit was dope. But was that ever like something 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.880 like because I feel like to be a dope MC 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.840 and to try to make it in that world and 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.000 then not have personality, which you obviously have it had 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.720 to have been frustrating, but you know, obviously you had 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.120 both both sides covered. But but that era, I would say, 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.840 like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, early twenty eighteen, like it 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.320 just was. I feel like it was like a dark 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:08.160 era for music for like the industry. It definitely was. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:13.120 It was this dark era for creativity as a whole. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.280 We were coming out of the SoundCloud era and all 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:21.399 of the champions from this whole new fucking subgenre that 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.639 just went crazy and blew up and inspired all the 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:30.080 youth passed away. Yep. That's depressing as fuck for everybody 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:35.840 that is supposed to be like the Young Foundation moving 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.440 into the next generation. In terms of listeners, they were 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:44.320 all devastating and had nothing to be inspired on. Which 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.840 is why I feel like a lot of the females 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.000 in the game is getting the opportunity now because it 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.800 was such a wide open window, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.359 Somebody like Meghan came in, who understood the internet, who's 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.960 going viral, who did all the fucking anime Wiya bou shit, 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.560 but then also had the music of course, people last 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.920 on and that shit. It was just it was so good, 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.440 so I think that's tight because I honestly think women 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.679 and rap are like shitting on the niggas, right. I 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.439 think it's like, I think we're like in the middle 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.320 of like the female rapper renaissance. Like well, like this 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.560 is like the like we're gonna look back like the 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.560 last two or three years, like yo, that it was 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.400 so popping. Yeah, Cardy and Sweetie and you had Rap City. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.000 Yeah you had all these We've never seen it, you know, 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.160 like forever it was just Nicki period and you see 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.440 the only one. Yeah. Before that, it was like Foxy 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:36.919 and you know, I mean there was a you know 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.080 the nineties. You know, it was the Brad Foxy Missy, 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.359 but like for like twelve years it was just Nicki 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.080 Minaj and then you know, I remember she I think 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.880 she won the BT Female Rapper of the Year, were 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.919 like nine years straight or some shit. You was the 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.600 only one, she was the only but she was awesome. 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.439 But my thing is, though, because I just had a 0:18:55.480 --> 0:19:02.439 debate with somebody about this, Uh, just because she was 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.040 the only one. Though, don't take away from how much 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:06.600 of a legend she was, because that's what a lot 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.200 of people like to say. She's the grades of all 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.800 time female wise same, I just don't. I don't even 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.280 think there's a discussion. I think you could. You could 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.760 say Lauren Hill based off off of the Score and miseducation, 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.920 But as far as like, I think Laura Hill is 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:23.000 a more uh complete artist, like all around. You know 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.679 what I'm saying. Because sheets we're talking about MC like Nikki, 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:30.000 like Barred out Hole Monster, do we do people actually 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.080 imagine Laura Hill out rapping Nicki Minaj on something? Though, 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.760 Like I think she could make a better song, relatively 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.880 probably better album. Yeah, but like can she outrap Nikki? 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:41.919 I always say, like, yo, just listen to Monster, like 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:46.800 Nikki destroyed Peak, Ross Peak, Hove Peak, Kanye Bruh do 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.159 you do? I mean, I'm an Oakland nigga, so I 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.919 come from the I'm a function baby in the function. 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.040 If Nicki Minaj remixed a song, I don't give whose 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.280 song it was, Wayne j Z. When she did, when 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.119 she did, when she first came out, she did she 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.800 remember when she did the Dunk remix the Soldier Boys. Yeah, 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:06.359 I was on the plane with Dwayne. I know nis 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.159 to go. Yeah, she did go, she could go. I 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.280 think she just became a little bit unlikable, definitely, And 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.280 I just don't think that Cardi thing helped her because 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:21.280 Cardi was so likable. So it makes people think like 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.720 forget like history almost like hey, like, yeah, Carti's hot 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.320 and she's much more likable than Nikki, But like you 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.000 can't just erase a decade of dominance from like yeah, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:38.080 I mean yeah, I think that's a problem that that 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:43.080 a lot of OG's face in the game is the 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.960 Jay Z quote, will you live long enough to see 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.160 yourself become a villain? You rather die here you live 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.439 long enough to see yourself become a villain. And I 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.000 think that's just an inevitable and wrap look at everybody 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.919 who we used to champion that Even I call myself 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.080 roasting sometimes but I don't actually mean but like Nigga 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:03.920 that talks shit amongst friends, you know what I'm saying, 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.199 Like Eminem, Ludacris, all these people who had all this 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.280 type of success, but like just when people get old, bro, 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.840 they just aren't cool as they used to be. You 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.879 know what I'm saying, That's just how I go. That's life. 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:22.159 I'm less cool Definitely. I definitely feel like that happened 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.639 with m I feel like the album Dropped last year 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.159 was his best album in like ten years. But I 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.760 feel like there was just a block of Eminem's career 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.280 in the last decade where we were just like nobody 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.239 want to hear this shit. But he's still rapping at 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.760 a superior level. Yeah No, I mean, he's a fucking 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.439 all time great. I just don't think the music just 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.360 I don't know some of the shit he was putting out, 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.600 Like you know, you could like look at some artists 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:46.840 like roys To five nine, who's as old as am, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:50.640 who's but has been putting out dope music, and in 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.280
