Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: It's crazy, man, because I feel like I want I mean, obviously,
Speaker 4: I know, I know you've talked about it a bit,
Speaker 4: but I want to kind of break down what's been
Speaker 4: going on the last couple of years because you have
Speaker 4: so much momentum. Uh your ep was Crazy quicksand was
Speaker 4: going up. I mean, you opened up for J Cole
Speaker 4: and I just felt like you really stole the show
Speaker 4: on that tour, man, Like, if you got there early,
Speaker 4: you gave them a show.
Speaker 1: I had had to compete with twenty one and J.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I got I got to go to to
Speaker 4: the to the l A show, and I was like,
Speaker 4: shout to epic because at the time you were epic.
Speaker 4: I think, right, okay, okay, somebody gave me the tickets,
Speaker 4: but uh, yeah man. And then I feel like the
Speaker 4: last couple of years you'd kind of been a little
Speaker 4: bit out the way.
Speaker 1: What what is? What is? I mean? Uh, you know
Speaker 1: you were signed with south Side and MO and that
Speaker 1: that went sour. I'm assuming you mean, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: with Pick six emotional. I wasn't sounding south, but I
Speaker 1: know he has he's something to do with So pick
Speaker 1: six is is motional easy? Okay? Yeah, so but I right, right, right, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw emotional leazy, and then you know, differences happened.
Speaker 1: You know, we all think differently. We have different emotions
Speaker 1: about the music, we have different ways of how you
Speaker 1: want to push, we have different things we want to
Speaker 1: speak about, and you know, sometimes business get involved too,
Speaker 1: and then personal films can involve too, like you know,
Speaker 1: if you know the story, you know, like he he
Speaker 1: helped me get there for me, so the emotions get involved,
Speaker 1: is yeah.
Speaker 4: Because essentially you had gone viral with quicksand Yeah, which
Speaker 4: was an absolute organic smn not that just went insane
Speaker 4: on YouTube and it just was everywhere, and then Mo
Speaker 4: ends up finding you or reaching out to you, and
Speaker 4: soon based off of that, Yeah, I remember coming in
Speaker 4: and hearing like, like what was supposed to be some
Speaker 4: of your album? Yeah, uh, you're recording here in Burbank
Speaker 4: for a little bit for a minute, and so like
Speaker 4: was it was it just like a difference of like
Speaker 4: the approach of you as an artist where you wanted
Speaker 4: to be Like now, it was just like the control
Speaker 4: of the situation, Like I wanted to be like a
Speaker 4: show touring. I wanted to be doing it like that, right,
Speaker 4: And it was more like, well, we think this is
Speaker 4: best for you not to and wait for this show
Speaker 4: and wait for this I'm well, you know, I want
Speaker 4: to be an actual artist. And then it's certain music
Speaker 4: you want to put out. I was like, well, we
Speaker 4: want to put this music out, but I'm like, well
Speaker 4: I like this music, right, And then the music they like,
Speaker 4: I don't like it. It's like there's a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of like just a bunch of riff rap.
Speaker 1: And then like and me not understanding the industry or
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, kind of being like, you know,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna taking advantage of because I'm a grown
Speaker 1: ass man.
Speaker 4: But you know what I mean, Like, I mean, you're
Speaker 4: very very like you're I mean, obviously you know from
Speaker 4: from where you are to now, Like I feel like
Speaker 4: even when I first met you were just happy to be.
Speaker 1: No hell yeah, the game you're here. I was green
Speaker 1: as hey, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4: So what ended up was it was It was that
Speaker 4: kind of why we hadn't seen from you in a while.
Speaker 4: There was just not a obviously you're there's this you know, uh,
Speaker 4: this conflict with the label, no new music's coming out.
Speaker 4: And then at a certain point in time, was it
Speaker 4: your decision, their decision to try to figure out how.
Speaker 1: To move forward and move on?
Speaker 4: It was it was my decision because I really wanted
Speaker 4: to like get away from anything that had to do
Speaker 4: with anything that wasn't bringing me happiness, peace or help
Speaker 4: me succeed, you know what I mean, Like if I
Speaker 4: was as the Clippers fan, come on, listen, Hey, that's
Speaker 4: why I'm striving for greatness. We always strive, Okay, but nah,
Speaker 4: just back in then them times I was just listening,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like when you first met me,
Speaker 4: like you said, I was green, like go here more,
Speaker 4: do this, and I'm just like okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: But then when it gets to the business, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: well I want to figure out how to how to
Speaker 1: do this. Well, just relax and make the music. We'll
Speaker 1: figure it out. Like now I want to learn more.
Speaker 1: And then we start learning more. I realized that was
Speaker 1: wrong and what's not happening? And what should be done
Speaker 1: differently and what's kind of sketchy and you're like, okay, look,
Speaker 1: I ain't fucking with this, right, That's kind of what happened.
Speaker 1: It was you and Waco Tron, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a couple niggas on a label. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean for you, man, I mean and then I
Speaker 4: forget You're also on the Cold album.
Speaker 1: That's that's what was great. That was crazy was the
Speaker 1: type of say I bet for you? Like was it? Was? It?
Speaker 4: Like ever a little disheartening? Was there ever any like
Speaker 4: mental hurdles you had to get through to be like damn,
Speaker 4: I gotta kind of not necessarily restart, but when your
Speaker 4: momentum is going, you know, it's hard to get that
Speaker 4: momentum back.
Speaker 1: Uh. I ain't a lot to you. As always in
Speaker 1: the back of your mind, like if you're gonna do
Speaker 1: as well as your first, you're gonna do as well
Speaker 1: as your second. You're like, you know, it's always you're
Speaker 1: competing with yourself and plus you compete with everybody else too.
Speaker 1: But I love music and I love to write, I
Speaker 1: love to record, I love to perform. So this, this
Speaker 1: is this is my blood it's in my life, like
Speaker 1: I finally got a chance to be here, so and
Speaker 1: this is the chance I got to do it independent
Speaker 1: and really like push myself the way I want to
Speaker 1: push myself. I'm happy to start again. I don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. That's dope. Man. You're with Empire, right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How did that end up happening? To? Shots to Gazima,
Speaker 1: the whole team over there, solid my manager, Chase shout
Speaker 1: out Chase ages seventy year. He was already like working
Speaker 1: with them and talking to them and he kind of
Speaker 1: helped me put put the deal together and shot up
Speaker 1: my lawyers, Demien too, family, Colin, everybody went crazy and
Speaker 1: like really, you know, put more Raid what he needed
Speaker 1: to be and got me what I needed, which is
Speaker 1: a way to put out music. Yeah, and oh.
Speaker 4: And then oh ship yeah, I mean and then now
Speaker 4: you're able to do what you want?
Speaker 1: Right? Come on, now I can make what I'm make
Speaker 1: it how I want, you feel me do feats, who
Speaker 1: I want? Who I don't want? Was there anybody that
Speaker 1: they're like that you ever?
Speaker 4: Because I heard so many random songs I've been in
Speaker 4: the studio session where people be like, yeah, this is
Speaker 4: with Mora and I'd be like, oh, you were on
Speaker 4: a lot of random songs and we never heard a
Speaker 4: lot of random ass Like I remember I was at
Speaker 4: Gez's house and he played me like yeah, like the
Speaker 4: hardest song he's played me in forever and it was
Speaker 4: with you, and I was like, dang, why is.
Speaker 1: This on the album? Like why is this? It was hardest,
Speaker 1: but it was fire, it was bro. We was like
Speaker 1: we're like three the board and we were just cooler
Speaker 1: in the studio, chiller and we just not making a song.
Speaker 1: And then that song probably will never be anywhere.
Speaker 4: But I was there any of the music that you
Speaker 4: started for I guess under pick six that you were
Speaker 4: able to keep or take with.
Speaker 1: You or and in the situation now that like now
Speaker 1: that I'm separate from from everybody, like whatever didn't come
Speaker 1: out ain't coming out, even like whatever it didn't need
Speaker 1: to come out ain't coming out. And I had like
Speaker 1: probably four hundred songs, not a lot to you, but
Speaker 1: I had working, bro, not have myself working like I
Speaker 1: was out working because I was book the studio time
Speaker 1: every goddamn right, I write fourteen fifteen songs and then
Speaker 1: I go recorded and I'm in the studio writing, it's
Speaker 1: like that's how I moved. But like now it's just
Speaker 1: I'm just like I said, I'm happy to have opportunity
Speaker 1: to really put the music I want to put out
Speaker 1: in the way I want to put it out.
Speaker 4: What's doo too is like you wrote a lot of
Speaker 4: that ship, so I wrote I wrote, No Damn, I'm
Speaker 4: saying like you write your ship.
Speaker 1: So it's like you can fucking recut that ship if
Speaker 1: you're like the idea, like yo, but do you give
Speaker 1: it a new producer? Nah, I ain't gonna lie. I
Speaker 1: the reason I appreciate what I went through because it
Speaker 1: helped me get a lot out all the bull shit
Speaker 1: music you know, talking about like you know, like when
Speaker 1: you're a rapper or you a singer and you're making
Speaker 1: those songs you got like three hundred the Vault Nigga
Speaker 1: all three hundred hot, So you in there figuring out
Speaker 1: the sound, figuring out the vibe. And now I think
Speaker 1: I kind of figured out the way I want to,
Speaker 1: you know, go with my craft and you know how
Speaker 1: I want to paint the pictures.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, uh, do you feel like you ever
Speaker 4: go through demo witis too? Where you have a song
Speaker 4: that and you get tired of it, move on. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've seen that ship all the time with artists. They'll
Speaker 4: be like, man, I'm like, yo, whatever happened to this song?
Speaker 1: Man? We got this new ship. That's how I be
Speaker 1: like because I because, like I said, being with this
Speaker 1: label and I with them, those songs are old right
Speaker 1: to you, you're over them. I'm like, Nigga, I'm a
Speaker 1: harder ship than that. So like, I'm ready to put
Speaker 1: the harder ship out. But I know sometimes it's a journey,
Speaker 1: but that old journey. I'm trying to put you all
Speaker 1: onto the hardship.
Speaker 4: So the new album is a long story short, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: why that? Well, it's it's a mix shape you feel
Speaker 4: me like, it's not even an album, mixtape album. You
Speaker 4: know who knows these days see me the new body
Speaker 4: of work.
Speaker 1: That your facts. But it's important to me to set
Speaker 1: up my situation the way it's being set up. The
Speaker 1: mixtape is leading to an album, because before I can
Speaker 1: give you an album, you gotta know where I've been.
Speaker 1: And I don't think I think I can say a
Speaker 1: lot more for for where I've been, at where I'm going,
Speaker 1: and where I want to be in an album, but
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you why I've been in the mixtape
Speaker 1: so you can understand. Okay, we're about to go in
Speaker 1: the long journey, but long story short. Before we get there,
Speaker 1: this is what happened, right type shit?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, nah, I think and this is your
Speaker 4: because you would only put an EPR right now. I
Speaker 4: put a mixtapeut for you. Put a mixt shonka streets.
Speaker 4: How many songs was it?
Speaker 1: I want to say, like twelve or fourteen songs?
Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah? Is it for any features on the nah?
Speaker 4: Just like Street Sermons, Like it's there's there's no features,
Speaker 4: Like what Street Sermons came together?
Speaker 1: Again, like I didn't have a lot of hands as
Speaker 1: far as like what songs got picked and like how
Speaker 1: many songs it was? I just roll the music this one.
Speaker 1: I feel like I really have my hands on it
Speaker 1: and was able to really tell a full blown story
Speaker 1: from top to bottom and chronological order the way I
Speaker 1: want to how I want you sequence the track me
Speaker 1: by myself and I'm sitting there listening to that shit
Speaker 1: like this is the way it got to come out
Speaker 1: this way? Like you know, and I would say, besides
Speaker 1: one song that that got switched, you know shot the
Speaker 1: people that helped me put that one song were needed
Speaker 1: to go. But like, it's just I really was able
Speaker 1: to really get in there and make that shit make
Speaker 1: sense for you? Was was it like? Were?
Speaker 4: Because I feel like you have fans that were probably
Speaker 4: just asking you, like, what the fuck's going on when
Speaker 4: new music coming.
Speaker 1: Out with bro? Like and that's that's why I really
Speaker 1: want to do the mixtape first, to really like, you know,
Speaker 1: let the people that already fuck with me know, like, bro,
Speaker 1: this is what's going on, right, and the ones that
Speaker 1: don't fuck with me will here shit that they never
Speaker 1: heard from. More. We're like, okay, more this is difficult
Speaker 1: to sound and I'm rocking with this right right right now.
Speaker 1: I want to get the new but also, you know,
Speaker 1: telling people that that's been here, like, yo, you got
Speaker 1: something to talk about. You can say, oh, more more,
Speaker 1: he dropped this, more dropped that, because that's been my
Speaker 1: big thing, like people fucking me. But they can't be like,
Speaker 1: oh he's just dropped or he just.
Speaker 4: And now I want to give him that right For you,
Speaker 4: what is something that you learned from the J Cole
Speaker 4: tour and obviously working with Cole Like that tour was
Speaker 4: a big, big boy tour.
Speaker 1: Man that crazy tour.
Speaker 4: He had the whole like NBA shit, going on thirty
Speaker 4: something thousands, like we want to award for like the
Speaker 4: most packed out like stadium. It was insane, but it
Speaker 4: was crazy. But nah, I learned a lot, Like I learned.
Speaker 1: How to really take my craft more serious. I think
Speaker 1: before going on a tour, I did like two shows,
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know how to like breath control.
Speaker 1: I used MP three tracks. I didn't really know what
Speaker 1: you were like singing over your tracks, yeah, type shit.
Speaker 1: But like now being on to with Cold, like now
Speaker 1: there is none of that, Like I might have a
Speaker 1: TV track and maybe catch like a last right of course,
Speaker 1: but I'm three. You could take a breath, you feel me,
Speaker 1: And that's that's all I need because I feel like
Speaker 1: if you're paying tickets to see me, like I'm about
Speaker 1: to sing for real, like I'm trying to go horse
Speaker 1: for y'all then because y'all just got me a new
Speaker 1: cyber trick or some shit like type shit, you got
Speaker 1: to look out for the mother for that look out
Speaker 1: for you. Like, so I just really appreciate the people
Speaker 1: that listen to my music. So I learned from him
Speaker 1: to how to really sing for them niggas, give give
Speaker 1: me a show. Yeah.
Speaker 4: For you being where you're from, being rere clods from
Speaker 4: obviously you guys connecting.
Speaker 1: I felt like it was inevitable.
Speaker 4: When you did, Uh my life, ship, were how hip
Speaker 4: were you to the G version with Pharaoh Munch?
Speaker 1: And I was not hit at all? I wasn't you
Speaker 1: weren't hit nah, he said on the hook my mom.
Speaker 1: I figured, oh, m right, one right, So I was
Speaker 1: all right cool, but he was I got one in
Speaker 1: mind for you, and he was like, you know type
Speaker 1: ship sent me to the how it sounded and if
Speaker 1: I can do it, and he let me play around
Speaker 1: with the arrangement a little bit and kind of singing
Speaker 1: in my tone and my rack yeah, which I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this sh it is fired. I appreciate. And then I
Speaker 1: heard the real song, like oh, this ship is hard regardless,
Speaker 1: like hard, it's hard regardless. That had to be a
Speaker 1: big deal, man, It was. It was bro That phone
Speaker 1: call was amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, was it something that like you had you thought
Speaker 4: that was like coming that you had an idea might happen?
Speaker 1: Hellna, he called me. It was like a like a
Speaker 1: Thursday or something like just some regular some regular bunk
Speaker 1: hug like just chilling the crib smoking, probably just chilling
Speaker 1: with my my hommies. Get a phone call like, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: I got a song, want you get on you want
Speaker 1: to do the hook? If if I want to do
Speaker 1: the hook? Nigga? Hell yeah, I'm like, nigga, what I'm
Speaker 1: pulling up? Immediately, Bro, I had to like that was
Speaker 1: one of the one of the dopest phone calls you
Speaker 1: can get, like somebody that you look up to or
Speaker 1: you you fuck with and they say they need something
Speaker 1: from you for sure?
Speaker 4: Is there is there anything you would because you kind
Speaker 4: of have went through a lot in the music industry
Speaker 4: in a few years, right, Is there any any advice
Speaker 4: you would give any up and coming artists that are
Speaker 4: in uh obviously in a situation where they're trying to
Speaker 4: trying to you know, maybe they got a little moment
Speaker 4: and maybe they got a little motion and people start calling.
Speaker 1: What advice would you give the core fan base? I
Speaker 1: think I think I didn't learn under that until afterwards,
Speaker 1: like after I've been in there to realize, Okay, if
Speaker 1: you have a core you know, cater to your core.
Speaker 1: Your core will make you bigger than what you are
Speaker 1: because your core gonna spread the good news. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like small room shows, even it's one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty people, seventy five people, three hundred people,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, Bust them shows out, get your name
Speaker 1: up there advertisement, put money behind yourself. Don't wait on
Speaker 1: nobody else to do nothing for you, because if you're
Speaker 1: waiting on a nigga to help you get to where
Speaker 1: you got to go, you're never going to fucking get
Speaker 1: there like ever. Put it behind yourself and just just
Speaker 1: just go for that shit.
Speaker 4: Like you said, It's like I feel like artists sometimes
Speaker 4: when they get on her they start popping. It's like, Yo,
Speaker 4: stop like you stopping doing what guy?
Speaker 1: You here? Yeah? For sure to start overthinking this shit,
Speaker 1: bro so much, so much over that I wanted to
Speaker 1: do it the way I said it because that's what
Speaker 1: Cold told me in the beginning, before we even toured
Speaker 1: for anything. He was like, Yo, you need to be
Speaker 1: doing small rooms. Yeah, And that's why another disconnection like
Speaker 1: niggas wasn't try to let me.
Speaker 4: Do its like a two three hundred cap rooms and
Speaker 4: bro do chie for example, she just hit that.
Speaker 1: She just did that.
Speaker 4: And even in Tampa, her hometown, she did on her tour,
Speaker 4: she could have did probably ten thousand tickets for sure.
Speaker 4: She did the crowbar, which was like two hundred yeah,
Speaker 4: three hundred peop yeah no, no, not three hundred, like
Speaker 4: two hundred. It's like and I was like, damn, she
Speaker 4: gets it because like whenever he spins the block for real, Yes,
Speaker 4: she's gonna get a basketball arena.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like that is the goal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you look at I want to say the Russell, Yes, bro,
Speaker 1: the way he do, he should too, like the show
Speaker 1: that he do. And he I sent a video him
Speaker 1: saying he do like her. He charges for rehearsal. He
Speaker 1: has tickets in backyard and charge a rehearsal like you
Speaker 1: talk the nigga to see the rehearsal. Like this is
Speaker 1: how you need to move get people involved into the
Speaker 1: whole craft. Yeah, so they feel like they're part of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now the rust lie in his crib man, he's got
Speaker 4: the he's got the pergola outside. He'd be doing the
Speaker 4: shows there and then and then the new ship he'd
Speaker 4: be doing is like it's not even new now, but shit,
Speaker 4: he's been doing for a minute now. He tells fans
Speaker 4: if he's got a show, pay what you want. So
Speaker 4: you got you got to buy tickets directly from him,
Speaker 4: and you have to put a bid in for a
Speaker 4: ticket and then he'll accept it or not accept it.
Speaker 1: I might need to hit Bull up talk to you.
Speaker 4: It's like some some tickets you might sell for ten,
Speaker 4: some tickets you mightself for five hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 4: Depends on who you might want to come and support
Speaker 4: what you got going on.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 4: He does the same ship with the merch too, Like
Speaker 4: if you on his site, you can pay what you
Speaker 4: want for a t shirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's a smart brother. I ain't gonna lie
Speaker 1: to the way he moved. Like now only is he
Speaker 1: making the music that he wanted to make, and he's
Speaker 1: making music that's comforing for him. Brother's making money, So
Speaker 1: that's good. What do you how do you think?
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you got a couple of records, a
Speaker 4: few records out Breakthrough just dropped last week. What how
Speaker 4: would you say? Sonically this mixtape is sounding to.
Speaker 1: Me, it's it's it's more focused on it's more singing.
Speaker 1: It's more it's more melodic, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I think after Quick saying I became like more RAPPI
Speaker 1: I was because I love hip hop and like people
Speaker 1: love more ray because more records sing even so I
Speaker 1: want to give them more but also not losing me.
Speaker 1: So this is pretty much based on more like melodies
Speaker 1: and more like harmonies and more like stacks with different
Speaker 1: vocals and really focused on emotional side of what I've
Speaker 1: been gonna do right, So for you, is it like
Speaker 1: because did Quick single platinum? Yes, that hit the plat
Speaker 1: they double I got two of them, mother fucking now.
Speaker 4: So it's and then obviously the correcord still growing, it's
Speaker 4: going great. Now that's gonna end up double planting for
Speaker 4: sure over time, even.
Speaker 1: If it happens in a year, three years, I need it.
Speaker 1: I don't even give gram nominally because of that record too.
Speaker 1: So another shout out to Code for like putting a
Speaker 1: nick on.
Speaker 4: I've been noticing like kind of like there's like a
Speaker 4: theme with with like some of the imagery even put
Speaker 4: now in terms of like you know, is it is
Speaker 4: this kind of like your metaphorical say like hey I'm
Speaker 4: free now, like pretty had out the home. You know,
Speaker 4: you're you're in jail, and then you got breakthrough essentially like, hey,
Speaker 4: I've been kind of locked up. Now I could, I
Speaker 4: could get my ship off how I want to get
Speaker 4: it off.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, that's prober what the table is pretty much about,
Speaker 1: like being you know, shelved, being in the box, being
Speaker 1: you know, not able to be as free and be
Speaker 1: as me as I want to be. Right Like you know,
Speaker 1: everybody who know me for real or who's seen me,
Speaker 1: you know I'm a character. I feel I got hell
Speaker 1: energy for sure, and I want to put that in
Speaker 1: my video. I want to put that in my music.
Speaker 1: I want to put that on my shoulders. And like
Speaker 1: I said, like I have a for free reign to
Speaker 1: just do it now. It's not all you gotta do
Speaker 1: it like this, So you gotta let me do me
Speaker 1: because that's what got me here. Yes, I had a
Speaker 1: hell of help right me got me here? For sure?
Speaker 1: Was it was there? Every like? Was it hard to
Speaker 1: kind of?
