0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.960

<v Speaker 1>how many we have? How many? Zero? Oh? Yeah, you

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.560

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>been seen you fucking court sided all the Celtics games. Yeah,

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>what are those tickets? Run? You? I don't pay? How

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>does that work? It's like you just got to be

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>like really iconic and influential in the city of Boston

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and then they'll hold you down. It'd be crazy for

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>them to not give you free tickets, right, Yeah. I

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>don't want to talk about it too much though, you know,

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's like because you don't like, let them think

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I pay ten thousand to pay ten thousand of pop,

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>so you're getting free tickets square side. That's that's amazing

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is that through a player, through the pr or somebody

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>at the Celtics, they just know what's up. They're like,

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>we gotta tap in with the hottest rapper now. Honestly, like,

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>that's that's one of the greatest things that's ever happened

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>to me in my career as far as like, you know,

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it's dope, selling out shows and all of that shit

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know everything that comes with rap. But I

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>used to get hype when people would give me a

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>T shirt so to give me courtside Celtics tickets to

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the finals. But you got because I wrap finals tickets

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, come on stop. Wow, Like I really sat there,

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>met pissed and kiss watching the Celtics Wi Warriors as

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>if I if I had came back, like if I

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>had been in another game, we would have won. Again bro,

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and I got a maca the court side record. I

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>think that's why they let me back like that, because

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>they're like, you're kind of like the actual, like leprecha,

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:16.239
<v Speaker 1>I am lucky. Yeah, for sure, they should have flew

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you out to the Bay for those fucking Warriors. I

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>should We would have won, for sure. It's something about

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>the energy, you know. But yeah, that's like one of

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the biggest accomplishments of my life. Like, thank my plug

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.519
<v Speaker 1>so much, and just thank the organization. They treat me amazing. Yeah.

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember last year I sat Court signed for the

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.679
<v Speaker 1>first time at a Sun's game and I was like, oh,

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>this is like a dream come true. And you sat

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>in the balcony right, Yeah. I mean I've sat everywhere,

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>but I never sat court signed until last year, and

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is insane. No, it's different. It's

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>just like, you know, I'm a are you like a

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>die hard basketball fan, I'm a diehard Celtics Fanah, so

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>growing up, like you imagine a Celtics fan, and you

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>got to understand, like I really know the experience, Like

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm from I'm from two train stops away. So we

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>would get on the green line and take it to

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>leech Man watch Ron Mercer. Yeah, crazy all that Antoine Walker,

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>antwoyn Walker Man, shout out to Antoine. That was the

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>shots of the Celtics. Man. I remember watching Antoine Walker

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>as a kid and then he went to the Timberwolves

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and kind of flaked out. But you know what was

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>great about the Antoine Walker jersey is when what's his

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 1>name the other Walker came to the semble walk Kemba came,

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>it was the same number, same last names. He could

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>bust out the o G Antoine Walker jersey. It's the

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>same thing. It's fire it was. That was like a

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>short lived moment, but kind of a travesty that Antoine

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Walker's jersey isn't retired because he kind of was like

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the best player on the Celtics for at least four years.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah he made the All Star team. Hell yeah,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he made the All start to Walker wig

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>You remember to Walker Wiggle? No, I just remember m

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>m yeah. So listen, man, uh, how many blancos are

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you going to do? Seven? Seven? I'm capping it that

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>seven is that because it's like just it just feels right.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I Mean, God created the world in six days and

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>rested on the seventh. Mmm, you had that god number,

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's the god number. You have a seven

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on your face as yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a dad

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of that seven seven. All right, this new uh Blanco?

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>You somehow got a stand interpolation cleared? Yeah, what is

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the process of getting Eminem clearance? So the process of

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>getting an Eminem clearance is not getting Eminem to clear it,

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>it's getting Dido to clear it. Because it was her

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>vocal and it was her sample, nothing off of the

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>stand sample. So when I came out with the ship

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>like and told everybody, I'm like, I just cleared the

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>stand sample because to me, those words people don't know

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>that that she was. That song was her sample that

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>she said for her. So basically how it happened, I was,

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I was out here in l A. I laid the song,

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, just on some freestyle shit because I'm really independent,

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know how it goes without clearing samples.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I stay away from all of that, you know what

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean. I never even thought it would be possible.

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 1>So I laid the song my man Tens just on

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone real quick, did a video of me like

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>singing and shit, in the crib and you know, it

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>got millions of views online, so my distribution perfect Time Music.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>They were like hitting me, like, yo, this shit got motion.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 1>I think we should try to clear it, and I'm like,

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>go ahead. And he found some lady who knows about

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>clearing samples, and then she got it to Dido and

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Dito okated, you know, took a little percentage of the

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 1>record and yeah, and we had it. So a lot

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of my fans were mad because the song was like short,

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>but that's the way that I did it in the

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>studio because I'm like this like a freestyle for me

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to listen to her like to put out on YouTube.

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>So by the time I got this sample cleared, I'm like,

0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>fuck it, I'm gonna just put it out in his

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>raw form, and I did an extended version that comes

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>with the albums. That's the process of getting an Eminem

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>sample cleared. Just just get one of the records that

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>he sampled, so you don't have to know. Yeah, it'd

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be like if someone's tried to clear sing for the moment,

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>be like, it's not an Eminem song, it's an Arrowsmith. Yeah,

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>but I would still say I cleared the sing for

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the moment sample. Oh man, you and Ray Sherman got

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a song coming, so maybe me and Swale we got

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a diss record coming against against Jimmy. That was kind

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>of a weird thing. Man. I saw that, I was like,

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>why the fuck was somebody? And I know Jimmy, He's

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>a good dude. I just I just didn't understand, Like,

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe it's just a way to promote your

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>own ship, but I don't understand the thought process of

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>shitting on somebody else to promote your own ship. You

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>know what it was? I think I think my ship

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was getting traction, like my ship was having motion online,

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Like well, damn, we kind of thing the album that

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>was their rollout, like we cleared the stand sample. But

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm a marketing guys, so I already know that. So

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>as soon as as soon as I cleared it, I

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>put it out there, and you know, sites at rap

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>started picking it up and it started going crazy. And

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the next day I saw like Sway Lee's camp pushing

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>his ship on Twitter. Sway Lee cleared the same I'm like,

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>oh no, they're panicking. They must have saw my my

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>joint out there, and uh, that's when my ship kept

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>going crazy on academics and this, and it helps and

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it just helps your ship. Yeah, Slim Jimmy rolled about

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>it and it brought more a win and so you know,

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Solution and I really liked them as a group. I

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>talked to sway Lee. You know, sway Lee's cool and

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I could never have beef with like Ray Trema. That's

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>like being a bully like that. Yeah, you know whos

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.560

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 1>and Berner because Berner likes to do collab albums with people. Yeah,

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.839
<v Speaker 1>he's like, you know, he's done now. I love to

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>collabor collab albums with people. I feel like it's kind

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of hard. If you and bern it did like a

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>whole little fucking six or seven people, that'd be hard.

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I actually get fans that come to my shows, like

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago and different places, and it'll be like, yo,

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>I met you through burn A lot of Mexican guys,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the Mexicans of Burner for sure, a lot of Mexican

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>fans I got through Burner. So what was did he

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>mutual acquaintance with him. My man Taba like a like

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a og from my city, and somehow they linked me

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>with him. But yeah, it was all love. And then

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>he was like, come get on my album. You know.

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 1>I came to his session. I had to beat right there.

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I wrote my ship right there. I got to feel dope, man,

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>because like you are not a new artist by any means.

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like I'm not a new artist, but I'm

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a brand new artist. But we told the story before,

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I met you at south By Southwest in like

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>two thousand. Yeah, I remember I was walking home in fourteen.

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Probably I was walking home in the streets drunk. Nobody

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>at the same hotel, No, I think you Yeah, yeah,

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you was in the line line for something we're we're

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>at like a hotel bar summer. It was like it

0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>was like by the valet or the bar at the

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>that hotel. That's like I remember. But I can remember

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>walking down Sixth Street right lost. Yeah, I remember walking

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>down Sixth Street and nobody knowing me. You know a

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of less towers, like yeah, a lot of less tattoos,

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>but just nobody knew me anyway. Now they recognized me

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>through the mass. I'd be having a shisty mask like this,

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>hands in my pockets, ship like this, and they like

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>mills and be like wow, bro. But yeah, I remember

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember seeing you because I was walking down Sixth Street.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, I said, that's pool Calf. I forget even

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>where I knew you from, but I was kind of

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>like back then, I was like on the blogs, allied

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>with my interviews and shit like two Dope boy days.

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>That's why I love seeing your shit go up because

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>even at the time, to me, you were like popping, right,

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? So you really popping. But

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it's got to feel good to be on such a

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>long journey of being up by taking this Rapture series

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to end up doing you know, records with some legends

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and then obviously Lincoln with Snoop Dog, and you know

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Like, there's like I feel like you've

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>had so many moments in the last couple of years

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>where like, you know, do you feel like validated. I

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>know you've always know, but like to kind of get

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the peers to kind of get that co sign that's

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>got to mean a lot, man. Yeah, I picked up

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cosine, like I picked up a lot

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of co signs in rap. But then like I got

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>co signed by the money, That's what That's the one thing,

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I wasn't turning the profit from this shit. Yeah,

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you were kind of doing it. I was doing it

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>just getting by like I would make money. I've been

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 1>getting paid for features for twelve thirteen years, right, you

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? That would you say? That was

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of more of the bread and the butter, like

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I could get features I'm doing. It wasn't get hot,

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't no real money, you know. And the second

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I did get a little real money, I just put

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>more back into myself. The pandemic did it for me

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.719
<v Speaker 1>for real. But like I would say, like, yeah, the

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>validation from you know, whether it's like you know, I'm

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>signing to kiss and I'm like Snoop is like a

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>big supporter of mine and all these guys in the game,

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and so so it's that, But then

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>it's I see it reflecting in my bank account, like

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I got accountants now and ship, and I'll be like damn,

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like I really made it, Like I shed a tear

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 1>on a plane one time, like for real, Like I

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>just had a crazy day and I just shed a tear,

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>like I couldn't believe it, like because I was really thinking,

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe that I was dumb enough to believe

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 1>in this ship that I made happen, Like yeah, but

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>it's hard work. Yeah, it's hard work and sacrifice, and

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like sometimes you just got to be dumb

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>enough to believe, you know, if that makes sense. Yeah,

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.319
<v Speaker 1>that's the real shit. I mean, you had a lot

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of I feel like you had a lot of like

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like uphill battles to fight being the white dude wrapping

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>about street ship. Yo, bro, it's almost impossible. It's like

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>an uphill battle on roller skates when you think about it, Like,

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>because I'm actually doing something that's never been done correct,

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, we know all the different type of

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>rappers that came through hip hop, and it's never been

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a white rapper with the streak content to run around

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>with jewelry on, really in the trenches, really moving around,

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>really co signed by the right people like that. It

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't happened ever ever ever. You know, there's nothing

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 1>close to it, except if you're looking at like my guy,

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>like like Paul Wall in Houston, but his content was

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>more that Houston content. It was like it wasn't like

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>my ship. I'm telling intricate street stories to the point

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>where I'm talking about nationwide, whether we're in Chicago, Minnesota, Cyprus,

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>projects in East New York, wherever, the fuck we at.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I got real street people Miami, the killers come to

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>me and say, Bro, I fuck with your shits so

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>hard the way that you yeah, the way that you

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>break shit down, Like I'm really embraced in the trenches nationwide.

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>And no, it's ill because because nobody would have like

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>people used to think like this shit was impossible. And

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm still not, Like I've never had an editorial playlisting

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>on Spotify like that. Really, Hell no, bro, I got

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.439
<v Speaker 1>six hund than fifty thousand, So there's still things that

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>give me, Like I love Spotify, and I know y'all

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>will give me all of my It's coming instant because

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I learned to not be the rapper like to learn

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a bridge and complain. So I'm not complaining. I'm just

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>saying the other rappers three million on Spotify, Yeah, I

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>got six hundred and fifty thousand without one with one

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 1>percent editorial playlisting. Right, My shit's a little different, you

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. It's I mean, you're about to

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>headline a tour, yeah, and I'm about to sell out

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a tour across the country hard tickets. So I had

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to do all my shit. keV I swear to God,

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I had to do all my shit by just showing

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and proving because the industry did not fuck with me.

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you something I never told anybody in life.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>No major label ever reached out or showed interest in me. Never. Never,

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Still to this day, I used to lie about it. Okay, No,

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 1>there's interest today. Of course there is today. On God

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>in Heaven, there's an interest today. But I used to

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>lie about it my whole career. I swear to God,

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>just to people, though, you know, just be like I'd

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>be in an interview. They'd be like, yo, so anything going, yeah,

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you know a couple of majors interesting? Lie yeah, like

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>or I used to, you know, chill with girls and

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 1>be like, yeah, so you know Atlantic Records they were

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>actually talking. Never no major looked at me. And I've

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>been grinding for thirteen years, and I watched all their

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>artists come and go, Like I watched all these people

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>who are right here with me get signed. I don't

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>know where they are. I'm here, you feel me? So

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>would you even consider the major route now? That third Never?

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to have the most unique deal ever, because

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>once you start feeling the feeling of your catalog, you know,
