Uh. Basically, Man, I started BSF 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.320 when I was in l Myra Correctional Facility reception. You 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.880 know what I'm saying. I was on my way to 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.639 do a parole violation and I just was ready for 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.799 a change from when I got back home. So I 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.880 started in reception as soon as I got there. We've 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.679 been working me and rick You know what I'm saying, 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.519 Shout out to the plates plate ship.

He 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.760 from the hood. So it's like when I came home, 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.119 it was like a resurgence of what we was doing, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.000 and I was taking everything way more serious. I was 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.880 putting way more time into it, even though I was 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.880 doing putting a lot of time in it before. It's 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.880 like I felt that I needed I needed an extra 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.360 flame under me. So it was basically like I remodeled 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.480 the house and uh, Rick, you know what I mean. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.680 Rick always been right here since day one, since he 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.520 was a because he was the youngest, since I was 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.120 a younger, and it's crazy because he he always been 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.480 from the hood. But he when he was when he 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.200 was serious about rapping two years ago, he came and 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:17.000 he paid me for a feature right right like that, 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.960 you know what I mean? Wow, like that, you know 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.480 what I mean. And that's when I was That's when 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.400 I was probably like getting a thousand four verst. But 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:24.840 I'm like, I didn't even want to take the money 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.599 from him. You know what I'm saying, This is my boy, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.280 But I know what he wanted. He trying to get 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.400 his he trying to get his ship together.

So Yo, on the Butcher Meats 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.800 leather Face joint, it sounded like r J. Paine was 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.480 saying he was on the squad and then I and 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.760 then he had hit me and was like, Yo, I'm 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.919 excited because I think I might do something with Benny. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.040 You got the deal over at E one, So salute 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.880 to you.

Basically shout out the pain and everything. 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.760 But I guess, you know what I'm saying. He I 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.800 guess he wasn't ready to make that move. I guess 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.240 he wanted to just to stay over there and do 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.240 what he wanted to do with his with his own thing. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.920 And it's all love to him, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.520 But that's just basically what it is.

It's 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.880 just I've been elevating and I've been lining up my moves. Yo. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.840 I saw you better than the next one.

If you know, if one thing 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.040 about me, if me, Ben and the Butcher haven't dropped 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.520 in fourteen months, you know what I got.

Man, you guys put out music at a 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:28.319 at a high rate. Actually, I will say this, I 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.960 like I like the way that you drop projects because 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.199 it feels like like you said, like Tanna Talk three was, 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:40.120 I mean, flawless, just rap music plugs I met. But 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.199 the squad, like yo, man, we got so much, you know, 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.520 just amazing music. Coming from like if you're not dropping 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.240 guns dropping, Conways dropping exactly. And I'm on all their projects, 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.120 So that's kind of feel like it's like a little appetizer, 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.440 you know, like to keep your fans. People have been 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.480 starving for that solo project. But you know what I'm saying, 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.760 I've been on all over the place. I'm in on 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:10.440 Lil Wayne album this year, uh, Russ album, Russ Gibbs, Yo, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.839 the Gibbshi. It is crazy.

And Russ is one of those guys that, like, 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:26.160 I feel like he gets he gets some some negative 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.240 feedback because I feel like people think he's a little arrogant. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.640 But I take it the other way. I take it like, Yo, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.199 this guy's he kind of knows what he's talking about. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.240 And I always noticed that he reaches out to artists. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.559 It doesn't matter necessary because he's you know, he's a 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.000 big artist, but he just reaches out to artists that 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.720 he fucks with, that he's a fan of, no matter 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.600 what the case is. And when I saw him put 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.959 you on his album, this was at the beginning of 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:54.679 the year, and then put you on the road with him. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.040 I was like, that's so dope, like, because that's gonna 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.319 that's gonna bring your movement to so many random kids 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.400 who never heard of you talk about you and Russ's relationship. 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.880 Cain't nobody tell me shit about Russ, you know what 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.040 I'm saying. Can't nobody tell me about Russ? Just you 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.920 said it. He didn't have to do none of that, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.240 and you know what I mean. And me, I'm a 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.120 I'm a I'm a street nigga. So when you do 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:23.200 things like that for me, that cause for uh, for loyalty, 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.719 you feel what I'm saying, Because he didn't have to 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.680 do that. So I only know how to. I only 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.760 know how to like react to certain shit like that 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.880 in certain ways, like he putting food on the table 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.400 for my family. He providing opportunities for me and my 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.800 nigga's right here. So me being from where I'm from, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.760 like that cost to loyalty, you can't you can't tell 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.959 me about Russ and he a good dude. I want 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.480 to ask the squad like because I think back back 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.480 in the day when when the g Unit tapes were happening, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:52.120 and now you're a superior rapper to fifty cent Bennie. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.760 I don't know if you know that or not. Lyrics, lyrically, lyrically, Listen, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.920 fifties got all the hits. But what I'm what I 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.680 was trying to get to was you remember when fifty dropped. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.680 I mean, fifty had the melodies, like fifty could rap obviously, 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.719 but but but then there was like Lloyd Banks, right 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:13.199 and you'd be like, Damn Banks is is iller than fifty? 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.760 Like are you?
