That was like my fourth time though. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.640 So wait, it was the fourth time going to prison, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.480 fourth prison in jail, So I. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.960 Was state prison I came from. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.159 I was in jail three hundred jail three times, and 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.200 then from jail the last time I went up the 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.680 road to y'all c I think y'all call it down 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.400 the road here, but up the road, yeah, up the 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.719 road to state President and I started doing music. What 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.640 was the point where you say, you know what, at 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.800 the first time, it's just that prison reform like all that, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.000 like you know, people fighting for all that stuff. Is 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.640 it's real because I only got in trouble once, but 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.600 I had violations for not paying home detention, not coming 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:03.920 home on time, like. 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:04.720 Little stuff like that. 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.240 So it's like it's like it's like a system exactly. 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.360 That's the system that Meek Mills talks about to where 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.600 they make it to where you're going to make a 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.200 small mistake to go back. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.200 Exactly, That's exactly what it was. So I didn't really 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.120 get in trouble again. It just was more so like 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.240 the first time, I learned my lesson. But it's just 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.200 the way the system is set up. It's hard to 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:24.880 like stay out. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.360 So but it's been a while since. So what changed 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:29.840 that you said, you know what. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:36.760 I wasn't on probation, no more parole. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.560 Nah, But nah, to be fair, I haven't gotten in 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:44.040 any issues and nothing like that since you know, even if. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.360 I was on probation and parole, so I parolled out. 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.360 I was supposed to stay there the last time for 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.920 a year. I got out in seven months. 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.960 Because of parole because mainly because I was already like 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.360 in school doing all like stuff like that before I 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.680 went back to prison. So they're all right, you could 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.440 function in the society. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.320 So is that what parole means? 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.320 Like that they look at you as like somebody who 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.960 can be functional in society when you yeah, out of. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.160 Probation is different. Probation is way more mild. Probation is like, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.960 don't smoke weed, you know, get pitted tests if you 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:18.840 even have that. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.320 It's way more lenient. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.640 Parole is like, if you get in trouble, you're going 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:24.800 straight back to prison. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.360 So that's like the three the three strike rule. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.200 Nah, that's a whole nother thing. I think that's more 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.200 like la too oh god like, but three strikes is like, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.800 you get in trouble, get out, Get in trouble, get out. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:36.640 Okay. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.360 So I've seen I've seen that your video was posted 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.600 and you made a music video about you, you. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.640 Know, having some altercation with the law. Was that real? 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.560 Nahn? That was real situations? 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:50.760 Though? 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.040 Yeah, I thought that was that video looks real, man. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:09:01.480 I was like, damn they was whooping your ass the police. 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.920 The entire time when you was in prison. Was your 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.280 music popping off at any time? 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.320 Nah, I didn't even start doing music. 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.720 I started because I used to memorize the beats on 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.240 the radio, and so you got like the first when 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.840 I went in, there was like no Instagram, none of that. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.480 When I got out, it was Instagram and. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.760 Chief Keith, you know what I'm saying, so real like 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.800 so like I was listening to the beats on the 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:31.240 on the radio sign and and I wo memorize him 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.200 and just start rapping.

EIGHTIEA 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.640 Keys is like he heard it one time and it 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:01.080 was telling everybody sending pictures a house all this stuff. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.000 So yeah, it was like more so that and then 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.480 and then yeah, you got a hold of it. And 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.600 then the next day Tyler the creator came to my 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.360 house to come listen to it too. It was like 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.320 the album before it came out was kind of making 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.240 its ways around, and then people kind of like heard 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.440 it when it came out. So it's like it's more 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.440 like I'm more like critical acclaim, Like people just know, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.560 like the stuff I do is of a certain quality 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:28.200 and caliber. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.840 So I work for. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.640 Warner Records and very rarely do I see the artists 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:39.880 on a call.
