Speaker 3: you just like I don't know. I feel like at
Speaker 3: the time when I did, I was young, so like
Speaker 3: it was like the l I L was popping. But
Speaker 3: then I really just feel like el.
Speaker 1: Uh Okay, yeah, that's how y'all talking to.
Speaker 3: Lou Yeah, it kind of like when I take my
Speaker 3: homeboys and somebody be like, what's up, little bro? Like,
Speaker 3: but I'd be like, elu h you feel me? So
Speaker 3: I just put that on my name.
Speaker 1: Now from from Saint Louis? Who were who inspired you
Speaker 1: to do music? Because I know you was in like
Speaker 1: a group.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a group. Okay, it was the name
Speaker 3: of the group Project X. That sounds kind of like
Speaker 3: the like the movie, but like we spilled it like
Speaker 3: a look different because because every time you would type
Speaker 3: our name in like the movie will pop up, so
Speaker 3: we like change the way we named it. But yeah,
Speaker 3: so what made.
Speaker 1: You go solo? Whyle y'all didn't see together.
Speaker 3: The manager like he wanted us to sing like Jackson
Speaker 3: five all the time, but we wanted to be rappers,
Speaker 3: like you mind you We were from the city, so
Speaker 3: we're doing shows in different places like with all these kids,
Speaker 3: and like every time we went, like we had all
Speaker 3: these childish songs, like we wanted to turn up you
Speaker 3: feel me? So like it just we wanted to be
Speaker 3: you wanted to cuss, not necessarily cuss though.
Speaker 1: They wasn't like the button up good boys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like like they was trying to make us like
Speaker 3: look like you feel me like they had up there
Speaker 3: they had us seeing kids about we want to sing
Speaker 3: like migos, you see what I'm saying. So it just
Speaker 3: was a difference in what we wanted to do and
Speaker 3: what they wanted us to do.
Speaker 1: So so they were trying to play a'll like but
Speaker 1: boys to men and y'all were like.
Speaker 3: We jo to f bro, we ain't there like we
Speaker 3: sliding and snapping like for real, we want to jump
Speaker 3: you feel me?
Speaker 4: So for someone, Now, how did you grow your two
Speaker 4: million followers on YouTube?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: How do you? How does something like this grow?
Speaker 3: Do you?
Speaker 4: It? Just cause some people are really working hard to
Speaker 4: trying to get YouTube subscribers and you just have them.
Speaker 3: Uh, I don't know. I feel like you just come
Speaker 3: Like I feel like you just be yourself. You see
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Stay consistent, do whatever you're doing, but
Speaker 3: be different, you know what I'm saying. I feel like
Speaker 3: that was the biggest thing with me, Like I was
Speaker 3: always different. I never wanted to be the dude in
Speaker 3: the back. Just you know what I'm saying like I
Speaker 3: never wanted to be there. I always wanted to be
Speaker 3: like outgoing and be different. I was never a rap,
Speaker 3: I was a singer. You know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: I just did everything different. So I guess like people
Speaker 3: just gravitate towards that.
Speaker 1: So going back real quick to when you left the
Speaker 1: group and with Solo, you know Tori's point about the YouTube.
Speaker 1: Once you left the group, how did you, you know,
Speaker 1: view your career, Like how'd you start?
Speaker 3: Well, like we had a manager, we was in a group,
Speaker 3: and then like another manager had came with an opportunity
Speaker 3: from La. So I'm like, y'all, I'm ready to take
Speaker 3: this deal. What y'all want to do? You feel me?
Speaker 3: And like two of my homeboys didn't take the deal.
Speaker 3: It was four of us, so two of them didn't
Speaker 3: take the deal. One of them did, so it was
Speaker 3: like a two waight group. But he had like an
Speaker 3: attitude problem at the time that he was young, so
Speaker 3: he was like always mad. So they was like, yo,
Speaker 3: like we can't deal with a little dude attitude, Like
Speaker 3: it's just you. I'm like, bed, you feel me?
Speaker 1: Now you got your deal? What happens next? Did they
Speaker 1: say you need to build your online presence.
Speaker 3: Nah, Like it wasn't even nothing like that, like really
Speaker 3: like they just had me in the studio, you feel me,
Speaker 3: but the crazy party is none of that worked out.
Speaker 3: I had moved to LA when I was like fifteen
Speaker 3: for like six months, but nothing out there worked out.
Speaker 3: So I had moved back and went back to school.
Speaker 3: And then when I did that, like music wasn't even
Speaker 3: like on my mind for it was more so school.
Speaker 3: And I just was already had like a certain amount
Speaker 3: of followers from me being in a group already, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So I just started making funny
Speaker 3: videos just pop.
