She is pregnant and it's decided to keep 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.720 her baby, despite how blue Face Speak feels about any 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:17.760 thoughts or comments she said. And she said this, it 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.320 was a point when I wasn't getting pregnant because of 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.840 how many kids I was killing, you know how like 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.040 I kept a boarding or I take a point b right. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.720 It was one time I didn't do nothing. They got 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.640 to not get pregnant. So I was kind of worried. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.480 Like so I remember just playing one day like, hey god, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.880 I'm not pregning from getting pregnant. But just know this 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.080 time and she's sent me a blessing from happy, I'm 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.440 gonna keep it this time. Right. The thing is, man, 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.560 she gotta understand what she's getting into, right, because if 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.440 you know This is the beginning of This is the 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.400 beginning stages of having a child with someone off the rip. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:52.280 It ain't my child, Hello, and she already be you know, beating. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.720 It's no secret that you know y'all been actually doing 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.240 your thing for a while, not in public. So I 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:05.400 mean you momon is gonna kick in. Yeah, you can't 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.200 get physical with her with child. Do you think that 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:13.040 a baby will shut all things in their relationships. It's 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.320 gonna make it learning, make it work, to change about 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.240 the kids are beautiful, so the person is gonna be 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.680 who they're gonna be. Like, That's just what it is. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.560 And I think that's where people mess up. They think 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.880 that a child is going to make the relationship better, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.920 or it's going to soften the abuser or whatever the 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.919 case is.

He said, I'm pleasure 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.719 fifty k for this effort. Who got blue Face girl pregnant? 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.080 Do you guys think that she cheated on blue or 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.840 that when they broke up she was having sex with 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:34.040 other people? I think blue Face the pappy honestly, you 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.000 know what, they took a break. She probably was getting 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.440 that ship off somewhere else. The way that she speaks 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.240 about it, you do the thing. The thing is, though, 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.880 man like a woman has needs as well. She ain't 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.800 gonna just sit around he over here doing this thing. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.280 She just doesn't seem she don't seem like that type 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.840 of especially showing that Hennessy started talking to you, took 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:58.279 like this like, look you better go with he does 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.760 he get it talking to you? Man? The different people 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:06.000 react differently. I don't think that's just the already definitely 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.440 get my school boy ain't so good? Make you start 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.159 talking to you something like I'm about to slept. Great boy, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.960 let's go ahead and move right along. Do you understanders 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:25.120 apologize for a comment about Jackson State University from the 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.200 ball Alert show, But I really do apologize for what 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.640 I said. It's just that things did happen while my 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.960 family was there that the public was not made aware of. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.600 What she was trying to say is that this is 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.560 things that's getting swept under the rug, and that's why 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.280 it hasn't been reported. I think a lot of people 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.400 was confused what she was saying when she said, you 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.440 know what I mean in the way I can believe 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.679 that that. You know, I'm not saying that the murders 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.039 happened on campus, but as far as sweeping stuff under 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.160 the broug, because these schools have to tact their reputation 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.640 and they got to protect the people who invest in 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.080 these schools and things because things like they start getting out, 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.320 you know, like you can really start losing a lot 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.160 of money, a lot of back, a lot of support, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.960 stuff like that. So so you you accreditation all that. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.920 So I'm like, you know, is it true? I don't know, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.920 but I mean I do I believe that some schools 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.480 a lot of stuff under the rugs to keep them 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.080 from catching fire. And she was saying that she it 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.520 wasn't untrue what she said, but that she did apologize 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.760 for exaggerating. Ye. Basically, you should think before you speak 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.600 pretty much. It's it's like blaming you know, all murders 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.120 and crime and Atlanta to more House. You can't blame 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.800 more House for Atlanta crime, right like you It just 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.520 just can't. But as far as it happening on campus, 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.520 they reported that it only happened one time during the 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.200 three seasons that her dad was coaching. And let's not 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.920 get it twisted. A lot of HBC use majority if 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.040 not our in the hood, so you ain't gonna feel 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.640 safe anyway. People were really people were really mad and 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.160 upset about you know what she was saying, because I 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.680 feel like, you know, they're like, man, this this is 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.360 our city. You you know from here. You didn't go 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.320 to school here, So I think people he was a 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.040 little bit more upset, was like, you know, um, because 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.000 I was reading a lot of the comments about that 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.880 after daddy left. Now you're dragging us. Yeah, But she, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.560 you know, she was doing a lot of hostings and 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.600 stuff like that so they I feel like they they 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.480 feelings was kind of her because they're like, hey, man, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.240 she care of you the city getting money. Yeah, I'm 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.040 saying doing the thing, but yet you're trying to You're 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.360 trying to turn and shot name. You know. Yeah, I 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.880 get I get that too, searing people off this money, 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.959 getting scared of Yeah, the show because what if someone 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.800 decides I don't want to be there anymore? Because when 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.800 they heard all this, alright, time for the currball question 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.760 of the day. O c T what you got?

Now loving hip hop 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.040 star Shake Johnson has said that she likes golden showers 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.199 that she has given and receiving uh some golden showers. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.439 Amar l Negra said that she likes golden showers.

I was there 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.240 j Bug Rasby at the same time. That's what that's real? 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.120 What type? You know, we're in a different time right now. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.360 You know social media is out there. Uh and you 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.760 know back in the old days, you know, old school people, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.640 they don't really agree with um sharing so much of 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.679 their business private. It's private. So do you guys agree 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:53.199 with you know how everybody's coming out speaking name. So 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:58.319 let me ask you a question, no question now, I 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:03.559 don't like go to showers like waste on me like this. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.440 Let me ask you a questions soon. That's the question. 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.240 Do you like golden showers? Never had one before? Okay, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:15.319 do you like those showers? You really asked me that? 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.280 Do you want to you know, like, you know like 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:25.120 others and sometimes others come woman to pee on me me. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.360 I don't agree or disagree. I'm I'm indifferent about that 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.040 particular part of the conversation of the question. But like, 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.959 if you want to share, share like that's yours is 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.960 how you know what you want to give. And honestly, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.120 I think sometimes sharing is caring. I think that sometimes 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.439 people would be like, you know what car that's what 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.360 you're saying sharing what you enjoy in life is caring, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.960 because maybe you have now introduced someone to a new 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.559 way of thinking. I'm just saying you have to be 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.360 on somebody first and sharing over sharing. No, I mean 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.760 I personally, I feel like cloud is a super super 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.560 addictive drug. I really, honestly, I don't know these girls 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.280 from you know, from whatever can of paint. But for 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.559 you to just say, I like, like niggas peel on me, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.679 I don't know if I really believe that, Like I mean, 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.760 I just think I think it could just be like 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.199 talking about just I don't know. I mean, I just 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.079 don't you know. I mean, you just you need it 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.439 to him. You just got down on your knees and 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.640 just close your eye and just let somebody peel you. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.480 If that's your thing, that's your thing. Cool. What do 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.520 you think they're doing it for a cloud? I think not. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.200 I think some of them are. I think after after 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.440 you had all these people come out, oh y'all, ton't too, 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:52.920 I'm like, do you like that? What I can say is, 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.959 you know, when when you got a female and you 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.199 make a squirt, I don't know that was warm. I 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.520 don't know what that is. But some different been asking 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.800 her a little Yeah, that's something nasty, that's something difference, 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.920 that's something different. It's definitely warm that now. So I 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.480 don't know that I was the biokeeper Street and you 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.280 know what I mean, I don't understand, never part of it. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.320 But you're saying you could have some po say hey, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.800 look did you pe on me? You never know like 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.640 it came from that, no ship but to me to do. 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.439 But no as far as like hey start off toping me, 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.240 pisce on me? Not okay, No, no, no, no, I've 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.120 never participated in any of the like that. I've never 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.520 I've never had it done or done it. Boy, have 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.720 you ever wanted to do that? Somebody in this wrong 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:44.360 line about want because to not how it works that 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:50.480 it was gonna say, no, never gonna work that way. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.040 It's nothing that's gonna go up. And so you have 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.719 to go over there. And then I mean, I don't 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.839 know its right. People lie about their fantasies so much 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.720 because you're so concerned about what it looks like, sounds 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.000 like what people don't think about you. Listen, we all 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.959 have sexual desires and fantasies and it might just be 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.280 a little bit different for different people and a one 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:20.120 for me in the building. Uh, let's take a quick commercial, Barber. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.480 When we come back, we're gonna get a Veto business 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.240 to talk about his new music right here on the 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:29.560 ball Alert Show podcast. Somebody the comments said, Kelly would 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.199 have had a time with this generation. We had a 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:40.400 time we saw. Do you want to come to America. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.640 We'll be right back with more of the Baller Alert Show. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.080 You're listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show. Yeah, 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.079 it was popping in his Veto baby, and I'm chilling 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.360 with the Baller Alert Show. All right, We're back with 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.320 the Baller Alert Show podcast. Veto is in the building. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.920 What's up, my brother? Are you getting Man's fresh off 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.640 that new project mood Swings? I love it? Independent? Still 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.760 independent for show? Still independent? Why why are you deciding 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.000 to be independent? Because I'm sure someone like yourself, you 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.880 have a lot of real fans, like I've seen people 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.520 like all these people really take on too invitating towards 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.000 you like well, I think I mean, just you know, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.560 realistically speaking man as as an independent artist and as 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.800 a label owner, I feel like if I'm gonna go 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.360 into A lot of people may beg to differ with this, 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:34.800 but I feel I need if I did go, if 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.320 I did sign to somebody need more leverage. I need 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.840 more leverage to go to a major label because you know, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.600 you still want to maintain the independence within the major 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.080 label when you do sign. Basically, me making my own 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.960 decisions create a control being a recalled shots. Nothing gets 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.440 done without, you know, basically tapping in with the core team. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.840 Things like that. I feel like you're going to these 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.920 major labels with what a little bit of what a 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.200 little bit of you know what, a little bit of 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:06.040 traction You ain't signing three six? Don't call you yeah, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.000 my deal if when I do, if I do sign, 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.880 you know what I'm saying, If my deal, we have 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.320 to be something that's going to be like yo, we've 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:14.920 we've never done anything like this. It's nothing. It's not 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.440 even about the number. It's about it's the terms. You 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.800 need the money now. It's the you know, a really 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.840 big thing that a lot of artists don't really you know, 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.280 pay to the two is the recoupment process of it. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.960 The recoupment phase of it. Um. I think it's just 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.600 those those few things man, that that are really near 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.320 and dear to me as a as a label owner, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.360 as an independent artist, that I feel like I go 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:38.760 in there if I did sign, I need to go 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.720 in there with some more, some more leverage. Let me 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.320 give you a little bit more context, because I don't 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.560 think a lot of people know you write all your ship, 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.880 you right for a lot of people, So I think 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.880 you can actually determined and dictate what you want. I 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.040 don't think a lot of other R and B artists 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.000 on your musical artists can do that because they have 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.680 people writing for them. Signing to a label means a 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.240 label and may hire you correct facts absolutely right for 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:07.120 somebody somebody. Yeah. Well that's how I started to get 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.120 my name in the door and the door. So basically 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.200 I thought, I started on YouTube. Please even start on 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.600 YouTube doing covers man, you know, like like some light 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.560 ship man, you know, taking popular songs and straight killing them, 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.120 you know, so much that the artists themselves would reach 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:25.800 out to me, like Yo, yeah, Sam Smith, LM reach 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:32.040 out to me. We had Adele reached out, reach justin Bieber, 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.200 all these cats um ship for my covers. The voice 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.160 reached out, you know, And that's how I ended up 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.120 on the voice actually doing my rendition of Justin Bieber's 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.200 Boyfriend because I was able to take a song that 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.400 was already a hit and make it sound fresh and new. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.840 But when you heard it, you this is a cover. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.000 I means. So I just kind of like I kind 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.160 of find found that niche and how to make something 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.880 sound new that was already been released already. So the 0:16:56.040 --> 0:17:00.840 voice ends up becoming one of your and still is 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:06.000 still this You ended up on the tiny desk with him. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.840 I mean I can probably watch that over and over challenge. 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.600 Actually that is where the challenge came in at. Yes, 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.240 now it's gonna ask um as far as Ussher, you know, 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.280 mentoring you and things like that, and seeing you with 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.800 Eric Belinger, like having those guys around you, where are coming? 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.560 Where are some of the gyms that they drop on you? Man? Um? 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.520 You know I always always asked, I asked us in 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.200 the past, like how how you did you stay so relevant? 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.879 How did you just stay so like like, you know, 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.480 on top of your game. You know, you only come 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.000 out when it matters, you know, you only show your 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:41.919 face when it matters. And he basically just like, yo, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.959 stay out the way, stay out the way as much 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.359 as you can, Like, don't get caught up in wanting 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.800 to be seen, wanting to go viral at every moment, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.600 like you need to you need you need to create 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.359 your moment, and your moment needs to be able to 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.960 withstand the test of time. Like the tiny desk, that's 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.440 that's gonna be around for for for the next few years, 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.160 you know what I mean, Like, um me me. Even 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.159 when you got a record, you got it. That was 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.480 a moment that that was a moment that was created organically. 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.719 And it's been three years and it's still streaming, crazy, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.200 still getting booked. People still love the record. And so 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.480 that's what he meant by like creating your own moment 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.760 versus allowing, you know, a bunch of comments or a 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.000 bunch of likes, a bunch of reposts to create your 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.080 moment for you. You gotta know your moment is gonna 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.119 be a moment before you even put it out to 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.520 the world. And that's some of the best advice that 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.400 he he didn give me Eric Billinger's advice. He's like, yo, look, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.720 you just keep writing songs, keep putting music out something 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.480 go hit man. Man. He's one of them. He's actually 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:48.159 one of my Top five songwriters, So humble to like 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.879 super humble, super humble. You're like, Atlanta is kind of 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.960 a tough city, right, Like you know, of course I 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.280 see you out on outside. We all outside, right, how 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.000 do you keep up with with the idea or how 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.600 do you deal with the idea that you know, people 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.879 see you as this famed artists and they assume that 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.480 you're going to spend X amount of dollars. You're gonna 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.600 be this reckless in the clubs every night. You're gonna 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:19.640 pop the most bottles, throw the most ones, but keep 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.399 your sanity in tactoo because a lot of that is 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.480 really aside in Atlanta, I think, or and I hate 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.160 to say Atlanta because I've traveled different cities and it's 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.560 not an Atlanta thing. It happens market to market. But 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.000 how do you keep yourself in check and be like, listen, 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.240 I'm focusing on the business. I am the label. I'm 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.800 an independent artist. I'm not about to sit here and 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.399 act reckless. But I also know that I need to 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.800 be out here and be seen about. So how keep 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.000 my sanity is? It doesn't matter if you see me 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.560 at a club every night, You're not gonna what you 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.920 think of me and how much money you may see, 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.680 think somebody happens not gonna make me go inhere or 0:19:55.720 --> 0:20:00.560 the ten bottles. It's just not It's not mean, you know, 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.200 And honestly, anybody that know me, they know like I 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.080 just enjoy going out. I like enjoy going out with 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.640 the homies, kicking and having catching the vibe and going home. 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:10.960 You know, you catched me at a spot with a 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.639 hooka in a drink, just cooling it. You know, I'm 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.440 never by myself, because it might be I might be 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.120 with four or five other people you don't even see. 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:18.639 But I just like to go out and have a 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:20.680 good time. And that's how I keep my sanity, regardless 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:22.600 of what you think of me or what I should 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.760 be doing in this club. Is it gonna make me do? 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:27.720 I remember I was DJ and we was at Visions 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.800 one night and you you came in. He was on 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.040 his chill ship in the corner. All of a sudden, 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.639 once women saw who he was, a seed of wind 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.000 over there and was just staring at him. They were 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.000 just like, it's Vito, it's Vito. I didn't even play 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.560 your song yet. It was just it's Vito, It's Vito. 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:48.600 Remember that night? Remember that night? Yeah, so, um, you 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.880 got a new single out which is Dope Um featuring 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.960 Chris Brown, the Homie the Homie. So how did you 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.480 get Chris Brown on the wreck? It was it was tough. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.560 It was tough. It was tough for you to get 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:06.800 a Chris Brown to for anybody cleared, the clearing process 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.840 was easy. No, it's just I wouldn't say it was 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:11.600 tough for him. It was tough to get him to 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.879 sit still long enough to made it together. Yeah, well, no, 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.320 we I did it. Actually wrote the record with a 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.440 couple of homies two and a half years, only three years. 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:22.840 And it was a record that my manager said to 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.720 me like, Yo, you remember this drip like I do 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.800 remember it and I remember it had the Maxwell the baseline, 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.040 and I'm like, Yo, this is crazy. So I did 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.639 some upgrades to it and m you know, I'm listening, bro, 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:38.040 Like they gotta tell me no, you like look, so 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.159 is it a text message? You see? Yo? Look bro, 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:47.560 got this record, crazy record? Yo, check it out. Let 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.040 me know what you think. I really would love for 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:50.600 you to jump on the record. What do you say? 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.840 He heard? He was like, Yo, I love the record. 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:55.800 Everything about it. The only thing I needs me to 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.440
