Speaker 1: So kind of tell us what what BSF is about.

Speaker 1: is this has been your imprint, your thing for a minute.
Speaker 1: But kind of break down the you know, kind of
Speaker 1: the history of BSF. Uh. Basically, Man, I started BSF
Speaker 1: when I was in l Myra Correctional Facility reception. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I was on my way to
Speaker 1: do a parole violation and I just was ready for
Speaker 1: a change from when I got back home. So I
Speaker 1: started in reception as soon as I got there. We've
Speaker 1: been working me and rick You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Shout out to the plates plate ship. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Ricky, be doing this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Even before all that you know what I'm saying. He
Speaker 1: from the hood. So it's like when I came home,
Speaker 1: it was like a resurgence of what we was doing,
Speaker 1: and I was taking everything way more serious. I was
Speaker 1: putting way more time into it, even though I was
Speaker 1: doing putting a lot of time in it before. It's
Speaker 1: like I felt that I needed I needed an extra
Speaker 1: flame under me. So it was basically like I remodeled
Speaker 1: the house and uh, Rick, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Rick always been right here since day one, since he
Speaker 1: was a because he was the youngest, since I was
Speaker 1: a younger, and it's crazy because he he always been
Speaker 1: from the hood. But he when he was when he
Speaker 1: was serious about rapping two years ago, he came and
Speaker 1: he paid me for a feature right right like that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Wow, like that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And that's when I was That's when
Speaker 1: I was probably like getting a thousand four verst. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't even want to take the money
Speaker 1: from him. You know what I'm saying, This is my boy,
Speaker 1: But I know what he wanted. He trying to get
Speaker 1: his he trying to get his ship together. But after that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, man, you just if you're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna come fuck with us and do it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So Yo, on the Butcher Meats
Speaker 1: leather Face joint, it sounded like r J. Paine was
Speaker 1: saying he was on the squad and then I and

Speaker 1: deal over at E one. Shout out to everybody over there.
Speaker 1: But what what ended up happening with the r J
Speaker 1: Pain thing? Uh? Basically shout out the pain and everything.
Speaker 1: But I guess, you know what I'm saying. He I
Speaker 1: guess he wasn't ready to make that move. I guess
Speaker 1: he wanted to just to stay over there and do
Speaker 1: what he wanted to do with his with his own thing.
Speaker 1: And it's all love to him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But that's just basically what it is. You know, this business,
Speaker 1: so sometimes everybody, everybody ain't on the same page, you

Speaker 1: obviously we came up man loving gangster grills, you know,
Speaker 1: dedication the g ZY ship. I mean everything. A lot
Speaker 1: of that ship isn't on the streaming platforms. It's on
Speaker 1: that pith, you know. And I'm assuming that this is
Speaker 1: going to be on the streaming platforms, correct, So this
Speaker 1: is gonna be all original music, Yes, sir fire, was
Speaker 1: that like something because you know when you it's it's
Speaker 1: with the traditional gangster grill shit, like you want to
Speaker 1: maybe hop on some other beats, like what's right right
Speaker 1: right right right? You know how the game game so
Speaker 1: finicky right now and you know what I mean with
Speaker 1: the beats and ship like that, and plus we just
Speaker 1: wanted to this. This project was mainly the jump start
Speaker 1: everything that we got going on with when we were
Speaker 1: on the table with this ship too, I promise watch this,
Speaker 1: but it's like, okay, first thing we do is tapping
Speaker 1: back to the streets. I'm saying, go get drama, go
Speaker 1: get these grimy beats and tapping back to the streets.
Speaker 1: And like you said, that ship wasn't on streaming. That
Speaker 1: ship that we do don't be on streaming platforms. It's
Speaker 1: it's on that pid, you know what I mean. You

Speaker 1: anything you do, like you know, everything changes. The mixtape
Speaker 1: game has changed, like you got to make sure you

Speaker 1: You got And like I said, the whole drama shit
Speaker 1: was just to showcase people gotten what type of type
Speaker 1: of wavelength for you on and using original beats with
Speaker 1: DJ Sha you know what I'm saying, he produced damn

Speaker 1: all of y'all, Griselda Bee, you guys got some amazing
Speaker 1: in house production. Man. Yes we do, man, Yes we do.
Speaker 1: And that's like the cornerstone other shit. Yo. So I've
Speaker 1: been seeing the way you've been talking online Benny and
Speaker 1: I see eye to eye with you, and that is
Speaker 1: essentially for the last two years, right, twenty eighteen twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: you dropped projects that were in the discussion for Best
Speaker 1: Projects of the Year classics. Right, so like back to
Speaker 1: back years, and you've been kind of quiet this year.
Speaker 1: I mean outside of touring and doing all the Griselda
Speaker 1: shit and hopping on and just bodying everybody's albums that's
Speaker 1: not your own shit. But I've been seeing you talking
Speaker 1: that talk like listen, once the floodgates open up, I'm
Speaker 1: about to take this whole. This year's mine. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm about to open them up. And what I've
Speaker 1: been doing is I'm just at the chessboard and I'm
Speaker 1: looking for checkmate. I found it, what I'm saying, so
Speaker 1: I could take pieces and all that. I've been setting
Speaker 1: up a checkmate. And from July thirty first, mark my words.
Speaker 1: From July thirty first, when respected Souppranos come out, DJ
Speaker 1: Drama likes Prano family. From that day to the end
Speaker 1: of the year, I'm taking over. For the past three
Speaker 1: straight years, all my all, my album's been in the
Speaker 1: top ten of the year for sure. I've been having
Speaker 1: versus top ten complex for the past three years. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So there's nothing gonna stop. It's
Speaker 1: just I've been elevating and I've been lining up my moves. Yo.
Speaker 1: I saw you better than the next one. I saw
Speaker 1: you tweetd yesterday that you're gonna do Tanna Talk four
Speaker 1: and five together. Yeah yeah, double album, yeah yeah, And
Speaker 1: I want none of you rap that niggas is still
Speaker 1: my idea either. You feel what I'm saying. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do ten to Talk four and five. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: a double album, double album. I'm assuming you're sitting on
Speaker 1: so much music, bro. If you know, if one thing
Speaker 1: about me, if me, Ben and the Butcher haven't dropped
Speaker 1: in fourteen months, you know what I got. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Ah Cause your squad, like you know, the
Speaker 1: Griselda team. Man, you guys put out music at a
Speaker 1: at a high rate. Actually, I will say this, I
Speaker 1: like I like the way that you drop projects because
Speaker 1: it feels like like you said, like Tanna Talk three was,
Speaker 1: I mean, flawless, just rap music plugs I met. But
Speaker 1: the squad, like yo, man, we got so much, you know,
Speaker 1: just amazing music. Coming from like if you're not dropping
Speaker 1: guns dropping, Conways dropping exactly. And I'm on all their projects,
Speaker 1: So that's kind of feel like it's like a little appetizer,
Speaker 1: you know, like to keep your fans. People have been
Speaker 1: starving for that solo project. But you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I've been on all over the place. I'm in on
Speaker 1: Lil Wayne album this year, uh, Russ album, Russ Gibbs, Yo,
Speaker 1: the Gibbshi. It is crazy. Yeah, So I'm still working.
Speaker 1: Hey talk about because you were supposed to go on
Speaker 1: tour with Russ. And Russ is one of those guys that, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like he gets he gets some some negative
Speaker 1: feedback because I feel like people think he's a little arrogant.
Speaker 1: But I take it the other way. I take it like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this guy's he kind of knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: And I always noticed that he reaches out to artists.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter necessary because he's you know, he's a
Speaker 1: big artist, but he just reaches out to artists that
Speaker 1: he fucks with, that he's a fan of, no matter
Speaker 1: what the case is. And when I saw him put
Speaker 1: you on his album, this was at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the year, and then put you on the road with him.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's so dope, like, because that's gonna
Speaker 1: that's gonna bring your movement to so many random kids
Speaker 1: who never heard of you talk about you and Russ's relationship.
Speaker 1: Cain't nobody tell me shit about Russ, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Can't nobody tell me about Russ? Just you
Speaker 1: said it. He didn't have to do none of that,
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. And me, I'm a
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a street nigga. So when you do
Speaker 1: things like that for me, that cause for uh, for loyalty,
Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying, Because he didn't have to
Speaker 1: do that. So I only know how to. I only
Speaker 1: know how to like react to certain shit like that
Speaker 1: in certain ways, like he putting food on the table
Speaker 1: for my family. He providing opportunities for me and my
Speaker 1: nigga's right here. So me being from where I'm from,
Speaker 1: like that cost to loyalty, you can't you can't tell
Speaker 1: me about Russ and he a good dude. I want
Speaker 1: to ask the squad like because I think back back
Speaker 1: in the day when when the g Unit tapes were happening,
Speaker 1: and now you're a superior rapper to fifty cent Bennie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that or not. Lyrics, lyrically, lyrically, Listen,
Speaker 1: fifties got all the hits. But what I'm what I
Speaker 1: was trying to get to was you remember when fifty dropped.
Speaker 1: I mean, fifty had the melodies, like fifty could rap obviously,
Speaker 1: but but but then there was like Lloyd Banks, right
Speaker 1: and you'd be like, Damn Banks is is iller than fifty?
Speaker 1: Like are you? Are you two? Obviously? Man, you guys
Speaker 1: got one of the top five right now? Run running
Speaker 1: the point right now? You know. Me and Fred had
Speaker 1: this conversation like there's five guys right now and Benny
Speaker 1: is one of the five of the Jedis. But do
Speaker 1: you do you guys take this as a challenge to
Speaker 1: kind of stand out and out wrap your boss on
Speaker 1: this project. Man, Like, every chance I get the rap
Speaker 1: next to this dude, I go with that mentality because
Speaker 1: you got to yeah, he gonna he gonna bring it off,
Speaker 1: and I feel like he. I feel like Benny when
Speaker 1: I would have watched all them freestyles twenty sixteen, like
Speaker 1: on Static Show and it was about Gun and Conway.
Speaker 1: But you would get the mic. I feel like, oh
Speaker 1: you you took that and you ran with it, Like,
Speaker 1: are you guys kind of doing that same ship? Yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yeah, man. It's it's just always been like that since,
Speaker 1: Like like Bro said, I've been around it since forever.
Speaker 1: It's always been like that, And you gotta appreciate that
Speaker 1: because that's it's friendly competition. He do it too right,
Speaker 1: He knew it too. He do it the most right,
Speaker 1: He do with the most so so you gotta going
Speaker 1: with that mentality because you know he coming to kill.
Speaker 1: He just text us in the group ventsage the other
Speaker 1: day like, are about to smoke y'all? I body, y'all,
Speaker 1: I do that. I do that so they can try
Speaker 1: to smoke me. Because even trust me, even even our
Speaker 1: favorite rappers who we loved and loved to listen to,
Speaker 1: he do the same thing with me. I got songs
Speaker 1: with them niggas. Them niggas be trying to smoke my
Speaker 1: boots that make your best work exactly make your best
Speaker 1: work the pressure Benny uh you like you said, you've
Speaker 1: been on songs with I mean some of the greatest
Speaker 1: right black thought push Like, what was the one verse
Speaker 1: that you got back well, first of all, I don't
Speaker 1: take you as the kind of guy who would go
Speaker 1: in and change the verse after you got another verse back?
Speaker 1: Am I right on? That? Never? Never? Right? So that's fair.
Speaker 1: So what is the verse that you got back? If ever?
Speaker 1: Where you were like, all right, man, my guy, my
Speaker 1: guy got me on this one. Has that ever happened?
Speaker 1: Let me see? Never? Never, that's fair, that's fair. Never.
Speaker 1: Not just my pain. People might have a different pain. No,
Speaker 1: I actually concur with you. I've never heard you get like.
Speaker 1: I've never heard a record where I've been like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Benny got got on it. I've told Freddie Gibbs
Speaker 1: he's gotten got on records. And he got really pissed
Speaker 1: at me. Yeah. He had a song with Black Thought
Speaker 1: called Extra Dite, and I was like, fam, how are
Speaker 1: you gonna let Black Thought each eat you up like
Speaker 1: that on a song? And he just never Yeah, you
Speaker 1: guys look like you were out there. You guys look
Speaker 1: like you were participating in a lot of fuckery out
Speaker 1: there in Miami. I never said this publicly. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: never said this publicly. What when when was send to
Speaker 1: me the record back? He was like, Yo, I'm about
Speaker 1: to send a record back, and I'm like, oh, and
Speaker 1: I realized, I'm okay, you have a record with black
Speaker 1: Thought that's going to eventually come out. I'm thinking, like,
Speaker 1: did I fight off more than knock at Chew? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I did think about that, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Shout out the thought, And that's
Speaker 1: how I love. I love sparring with the best. He's
Speaker 1: one of them ones, man, exactly. I love sparring with
Speaker 1: the best. And sometimes I might even just reach out
Speaker 1: to do a track with a dude just to measure
Speaker 1: myself to see you know what I'm saying, I'm like, oh, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm up there. Yeah. When it comes when it comes
Speaker 1: to the like the Jedi, like, first of all, I
Speaker 1: want to I want to commend you guys, because I
Speaker 1: do feel like, you know, I've been a fan of
Speaker 1: you guys since the first time I think I saw
Speaker 1: y'all on Static Ship, which was four four years ago,
Speaker 1: I think five years ago, I don't know, but uh
Speaker 1: I remember like just the way you guys, the fly ship,
Speaker 1: the merch, the branding, like everything was so raw, and
Speaker 1: I just remember always being like, man, this is the
Speaker 1: shit that's missing, right, Like I want to give you
Speaker 1: guys a lot of credit because you you know, Gibbs Royce,
Speaker 1: you know, run the jewels like it's it's becoming okay
Speaker 1: and and and actually becoming like better to have integrity
Speaker 1: on the microphone in twenty twenty, and you know, two
Speaker 1: years ago, even when you and I first met, you know,
Speaker 1: I was already super tapped in and a big fan,
Speaker 1: but we had never met before. But that was twenty
Speaker 1: and eighteen when we first came on the station, and
Speaker 1: and you know that there was that was a rough
Speaker 1: time for rap man because it was the all time
Speaker 1: high for this Instagram clout bullshit, people doing all kind
Speaker 1: of weirdo shit on the internet and Little Pump getting
Speaker 1: signed and all these fucking weirdos who ain't around no more.
Speaker 1: And you guys continuing to push your line and not
Speaker 1: switching up has helped like shift the momentum hip hop
Speaker 1: to where it should be. Like it's almost like like
Speaker 1: what I called you, y'all, Jedi is right, But it's
Speaker 1: almost like like the forces like on the good side now,
Speaker 1: like the dark, like like the force was dark for
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know what I'm saying. The Evil
Speaker 1: Empire has the ship for a while, but I think
Speaker 1: because of what y'all have done, it's like, yo, man,
Speaker 1: like you guys are gonna be able to exist forever,
Speaker 1: which is something that you guys are making timeless music
Speaker 1: and you and and and and you're making it dope
Speaker 1: to be a real MC again. Like and I just
Speaker 1: want to commend y'all for that because you guys, you know,
Speaker 1: are a large part as to why that is going
Speaker 1: on right now, you know what I'm saying, Like, so
Speaker 1: salute man? Did you? And it's like, it feels good
Speaker 1: to feed the culture. And I know I'm a rapper,
Speaker 1: I tap in with these dudes. It's a relief for
Speaker 1: everybody too. It's a relief for our genre of music.
Speaker 1: And it's good to receive our flowers that were putting
Speaker 1: in this type of effort and it's type to work
Speaker 1: and uh, to get fans the art the art in
Speaker 1: the most beautifulest form. You know what I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: feel good to get our praises and for this business
Speaker 1: to be lucrative because like you said, they had that
Speaker 1: they had they tried to. Ain't nothing wrong with the
Speaker 1: other music. I listened to that ship all the time.
Speaker 1: But now there's like some good ship that's on the
Speaker 1: other spectrum, right, Like I fuck with Little Baby, I
Speaker 1: fuck with but I'm talking like I'm talking the weirdo
Speaker 1: sh There was like a weirdo ship movement. A six
Speaker 1: nine was a part of it. Little Pump like all
Speaker 1: these weird like these YouTube and at like these guys
Speaker 1: who would worry about their Instagram stunt going viral as
Speaker 1: opposed to their song being good and getting deals like
Speaker 1: like that was a real There was a moment in
Speaker 1: hip hop for about two years and it was like
Speaker 1: it was terrible, bro. It was and me in the meanwhile,
Speaker 1: y'all were doing y'all's thing, but nobody at the time
Speaker 1: who wasn't you know? Obviously you guys had fans. I
Speaker 1: was one of them. But I just remember I would
Speaker 1: big y'all up in every interview to every rapper that
Speaker 1: would come through, Who's Griselda? Who's Griselda? Like who is she?
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, no, it's not a she. It's
Speaker 1: a fucking label, bro, Like you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: but but I do. I just want to give you props, man,
Speaker 1: because because between you and Conway and Gun like you

Speaker 1: He gave me. He gave me a thousand percent another
Speaker 1: person who didn't have to. I'm a lucky motherfucker who
Speaker 1: just didn't have to reach out to me to work
Speaker 1: and just hit boys one of the ils bro exactly.
Speaker 1: We put this project together not knowing it was going
Speaker 1: to become what it is today, not knowing we was
Speaker 1: going to turn down several million dollar offers for the project.
Speaker 1: We just in there five you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And we're still dropping the project independently this is what
Speaker 1: we do, all right, So that's happening in September. What
Speaker 1: about the double album and and and the album with
Speaker 1: uh with with Harry Fraud? Are we getting both of
Speaker 1: those before January first? Oh? Not? Hell no, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just trying to I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: see the timeline. I'm a visionary, I hear you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm always moving ten steps ahead of
Speaker 1: ahead of niggas because that's how I got here. So really,
Speaker 1: I got the burden the proof September, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, first quarter or maybe ship. I might even
Speaker 1: drop at the end of this year. But that's the
Speaker 1: next one of calendar is Plugs I meant to produced
Speaker 1: by Harry Fraud, got dope features on there. And then
Speaker 1: like everybody asking me because Tanna Talk three is a
Speaker 1: work of art. Everybody like when it's Talk four coming,
Speaker 1: Talk four coming. I could easily name these projects Tanna
Speaker 1: Talk for and put them out. The Tanner Talk series
Speaker 1: is different, you know what I'm saying. And I treated
Speaker 1: with care and everybody been waiting for and I said,
Speaker 1: I got to live a little bit more life. I
Speaker 1: gotta you know what I'm saying, Things gotta happen in
Speaker 1: my life before I feel comfortable calling another project Tanna
Speaker 1: Talk And I feel like I'm at that point. Now,
Speaker 1: which project is the Drake Featu're going to live on? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: that's a surprise. Okay, hey, let me ask you this
Speaker 1: because I feel like once Plugs I Met came out,
Speaker 1: that was kind of when people were starting to you know,
Speaker 1: get on the on the grisel the bandwagon. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: I personally I love both projects. I think they're both
Speaker 1: classic between Tanna Talk three and and and Plugs I Met.
Speaker 1: But I like Tanna Talk three more. What do you
Speaker 1: think what's better? Obviously? Yeah, you know, Plugs I Met
Speaker 1: is a shorter project. But if you had to pick one,
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, I would had to pick.
Speaker 1: I would had to pick over just a slight slight,
Speaker 1: slight edge. I will pick Plugs I Met. That's fair saying.
Speaker 1: I love Tanna Talk three. I love that man. Me
Speaker 1: that's basically a Me west Derren Jr. Conway project because
Speaker 1: they assisted with me on that. You for what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and that was my introduction, uh the Plugs I Met.
Speaker 1: I followed the formula, and I did everything myself, and
Speaker 1: I was really testing myself out and I put that
Speaker 1: out on my own, so you you were more Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were quarterbacking that a lot more exactly, and and
Speaker 1: and it turned out to be successful, so incredible. Follow
Speaker 1: my face and it put a little but I can
Speaker 1: poke out my chest a little bit more. And what
Speaker 1: about the BSF boys? What I'm assuming that are we
Speaker 1: gonna get solo projects from from either of you guys
Speaker 1: this year? Definitely? I'm working on plates too. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: much wrapped up, you know what I'm saying. I'm just
Speaker 1: waiting on that green light. But we're good. Do you
Speaker 1: know how many random Caucasian people are gonna be like,
Speaker 1: why do you name his album plates? Now? Term? When
Speaker 1: you was in the hug? You know what I'm saying, Well,
Speaker 1: it's also like where you cut up the brick right Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm I may or may not have also sold drugs
Speaker 1: in my life and still currently do. But now they're
Speaker 1: just green You feel me? You know some shit? And
Speaker 1: he he ain't come up with some ship. We dropping
Speaker 1: mixtapes everything like That's the plan is to set these
Speaker 1: boys up where they could take over where where the
Speaker 1: streets could see where they coming from. And the people
Speaker 1: could you know what I'm saying, understand these boys and
Speaker 1: and they pushing, they pushing for they in the lead
Speaker 1: for Black Souprano family. That's beautiful. Met people love him.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, This nigga lyrical ability. I
Speaker 1: could tell he'd be trying to comfort me on songs.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, It's like real ship. Hey,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Obviously you're the one guy
Speaker 1: from Griselda that that that that Eminem didn't necessarily officially sign.
Speaker 1: Why what is your relationship like with him? Because we
Speaker 1: all know he has to regret that decision at this
Speaker 1: point in time, Like, are you guys cool If you
Speaker 1: guys ever had that discussion because like I never, I
Speaker 1: never even I never like had that discussion with him.
Speaker 1: I just met him seeing him passing. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Right with that, it's like it's really not
Speaker 1: a relationship. The respect is there, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, the fuck he's a god.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: as far as me, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't get a contract off I didn't get a
Speaker 1: contract offer from Shady until everybody was offering, until everybody
Speaker 1: was trying to come for you. That's what I assumed. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, until until you know, at
Speaker 1: a point in time, I was like anxious to sign
Speaker 1: the Shady But then by the time they came with
Speaker 1: a contract offers, like everybody was coming, Like signing the
Speaker 1: deal probably wasn't the smartest thing for me to do
Speaker 1: at that point. At that point in time, you could
Speaker 1: have probably pick and chose whoever you wanted to go
Speaker 1: to exactly exactly, you know, mass shout out to Shady man.
Speaker 1: I love Mike, you know what I'm saying. Me and Mike,
Speaker 1: we could get Paul Rosenberg always been fair to me.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying, always been fair to me.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. It's crazy, what because,
Speaker 1: like you said, you've turned down some million dollars millions
Speaker 1: of dollars in record deals. I'm sure right listen, you're
Speaker 1: you're and people who don't know this, you've been doing
Speaker 1: this rapt shit for a long time, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you're new to like the mainstream I
Speaker 1: guess you could say. But when it comes to like
Speaker 1: being in the industry, like y'all have been doing this forever, man,
Speaker 1: so like you're not gonna jump on a lot of
Speaker 1: people jumping on whatever comes their way, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, They're gonna jump on some bullshit deals. You
Speaker 1: decided to go with E one, do the label deal,
Speaker 1: and and I'm assuming ownership has got to be a big,
Speaker 1: a big part of that. But like what because you say,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming everybody was trying to sign you?
Speaker 1: What made you want to go the E one direction?
Speaker 1: And not necessarily, you know, go the direction of a major,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure every major was on like trying to
Speaker 1: tap in with you. Uh. Anybody asked me that question,
Speaker 1: And the answer is transparency, you feel, I'm saying, I don't,
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't be like label talked, all that propaganda,
Speaker 1: None of that shit matters to me. The transparency our communication.
Speaker 1: You feel. What I'm saying is who's gonna be on
Speaker 1: these phone calls? What is we doing? I can't be.
Speaker 1: I can't be romance a couple of labels try to
Speaker 1: romance me into a contract. Of course, that's not want
Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying. And and let's be real here,
Speaker 1: a lot of labels just wanted to A couple labels
Speaker 1: wanted to take the BSF thing because just because of me,
Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying. Over at E one, they
Speaker 1: concerned about these dudes. And even at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, at the end of the day, I could
Speaker 1: have took it anywhere, but I'm still in these officers
Speaker 1: speaking for these niggas, so I can't do what I
Speaker 1: want to do. I got a number and these are
Speaker 1: my friends. Before you know what I'm saying, you want
Speaker 1: to make sure they're good exactly. So it's like E one,
Speaker 1: it was all good and we had it was offers
Speaker 1: on the table, and that was the best one. And
Speaker 1: we were and we were surprised. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 1: we were surprised. We had a great meeting with them,
Speaker 1: and they followed through on everything they said. And more so,
Speaker 1: the transparency is the best thing is you have a
Speaker 1: really good example of how to develop artists and how
Speaker 1: to because I truly feel that the way Gun has
Speaker 1: like I feel like Gun is wants you to be
Speaker 1: bigger than him. If that makes sense, and most go ahead,
Speaker 1: You're right, you hit it on, you hit it, you
Speaker 1: hit the target. Like I learned how to develop artists
Speaker 1: a lot from West Side Gun, and that's what I appreciate, niggas.
Speaker 1: It ain't no secret if you're watching it, if you
Speaker 1: see me what I'm doing, it's not no secret. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all part of the formula. I'm never going to change
Speaker 1: the formula. Yeah, because artist from Under the grosella umbrella Riselda,
Speaker 1: umbrella Brella and it works. Yeah, because I you know,
Speaker 1: we all see this shit happen like ninety nine percent
Speaker 1: of the time when you are a rapper and you
Speaker 1: have artists that you sign like, they never end up
Speaker 1: surpassing what you do. And sometimes that's by design because
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with people who they're like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: you know, like like it's an ego thing because with
Speaker 1: what you know, what MCS likes, it's an ego driven sport,
Speaker 1: which is why a lot of times, like you know,
Speaker 1: the exception is when Rick Ross signs Meek Mill and
Speaker 1: lall A, you know what I mean, there's like there
Speaker 1: are a few exceptions though, So I think that what's
Speaker 1: been dope to watch the way Griselda moves and the
Speaker 1: way you guys always support each other and the way
Speaker 1: it's like yo, like I said, man, like, I just remember,
Speaker 1: you know, four or five years ago, I was a
Speaker 1: huge Conway fan. I fucked with Conway tough like he's
Speaker 1: my favorite dude out of Griselda. And then I forget
Speaker 1: which freestyle it was. I think he was rocking the
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy and the little Buffalo Bill's joint, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, right right, right right, And
Speaker 1: then I just dived into your shit. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just think that it's important that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna, like you say, man, these guys are
Speaker 1: your friends and their and their livelihood depends on you,
Speaker 1: and you don't take that lightly. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: real shit, And you know they trust me, so I
Speaker 1: value that trust. So I know I got to do
Speaker 1: the right thing with it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm confident in these dudes. Man, Listen, I caught the
Speaker 1: coronavirus fucking around in Arizona. Now, I saw y'all out
Speaker 1: in Miami at G five getting down with the ships, y'all. Good?
Speaker 1: Did y'all lose your smell? When you guys? Good? Out there.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna make sure y'all good because I caught
Speaker 1: the ship. You straight, we straight man, We straight man,
Speaker 1: God blessing us. And then we gotta we gotta move careful,

Speaker 1: project is just to showcase us. And that's the thing
Speaker 1: we coming right back with the like soprano family co
