Speaker 1: some some some fire offs too, they say, sent a
Speaker 1: bunch of people to the league. Yeah, yeah, Arizona's got
Speaker 1: some good football school Tomorrow and Chandler. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Hamilton Chandler rivalry like pretty real. Yeah, it was real,
Speaker 1: like especially when I was in like high school too,
Speaker 1: which is I mean, it wasn't that long ago, like
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, like about ten yearstheless, it was like still
Speaker 1: going on. But even before that, it was like heck

Speaker 1: and like going to the football games with my cousin
Speaker 1: and it being like the biggest football game like in
Speaker 1: the city. Yeah, Chandler's like an interesting area because it's

Speaker 1: the pockets. It's not a lot, but it's it's there.
Speaker 1: There's some there's some teethless fucking meth heads over the fact,
Speaker 1: especially like after Like I feel like it's like two
Speaker 1: sides of version A AB. It's like the arison, the
Speaker 1: AF part that goes up towards like I want to

Speaker 1: like Mesa has like the up to these schools which
Speaker 1: is like Red Mountain and Mountain View. All the Mormons
Speaker 1: go there. Well, Mormons go to school everywhere in Mesa

Speaker 1: hood schools are Westwood and Mason Masa High. But Chandler's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's its own fucking thing, all East Valley though, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I spent time. Only time I was really
Speaker 1: in Mason's when I went to like skatek yeah next
Speaker 1: to my house, that skate park read Read. I didn't
Speaker 1: really go to Read. I was mostly like skate Land. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I was over there. I was really scared. I
Speaker 1: was scared with the homies you were going over there
Speaker 1: when they were doing the club glows. It it it was
Speaker 1: like a bunch of fucking thirteen year old fucking sucking.
Speaker 1: My sister got pregnant at thirteen from going to Skateland.
Speaker 1: Shout out to my niece Serena. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: was on the on the skate ring. Remember when they
Speaker 1: were doing Club Glow. Yeah, club oh yeah, God, Club
Speaker 1: Glow is crazy. That was like every weekend there with
Speaker 1: the homies, like what's going on to be like overnight
Speaker 1: fucking stays at Skateland, And my mom would say yes,
Speaker 1: and now we have a I have a niece. The overnights,
Speaker 1: the all nighters, my parents, they did a great fucking job.
Speaker 1: My sister got pregnant at thirteen. I had a baby
Speaker 1: at eighteen. Great job, guys, great fucking job. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: when'd you start skating? Oh? I started skating probably like
Speaker 1: like on board, probably like ten twelve years ago. I
Speaker 1: lived in two something actually when I picked up my
Speaker 1: first skateboard. Like the group of homies hung out with
Speaker 1: out there. We were always doing something like different, like
Speaker 1: whether it was like skating, you know. Everybody was like
Speaker 1: on the club basketball club football team, and the Homies
Speaker 1: just started randomly skating, and like I remember, I pulled
Speaker 1: up on them one day and I saw all the
Speaker 1: board and I was like, oh, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I've always been intrigued with like adrenaline rush,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I always been an adrenaline junkie,
Speaker 1: And so I used to just grab the board like
Speaker 1: while they were hooping and just roll around on the
Speaker 1: basketball court. And then I just like got hooked on it.
Speaker 1: Every time I linked, I couldn't put it down. I
Speaker 1: never had my own. I was always using the homies boards.
Speaker 1: And then when I moved from Tucson to Phoenix, I
Speaker 1: kind of like saw more skating went to my first
Speaker 1: like actually this was probably like man, I want to say,
Speaker 1: twenty ten, Oh yeah, probably around there. Like when I
Speaker 1: moved to Phoenix from Tucson. With Phoenix, I moved, I moved.
Speaker 1: When I came, I was in Chandler, but I lived
Speaker 1: in Glendale before I like moved. But when I moved back,
Speaker 1: I was in like Chandler area of course on that
Speaker 1: side though closer to Chandler High and then I moved
Speaker 1: like on the other side when I started going to Hamilton.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because most people, like, I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: pretty short skating journey for you to be like as
Speaker 1: fucking popping as you are. Yeah, people like, man, I've
Speaker 1: been skating so I was eight year old. A lot
Speaker 1: of my homies actually, like I'm with, they all started
Speaker 1: like when they're super younger. I always tell people when
Speaker 1: they ask me how long I'm like, I feel like
Speaker 1: I kind of started like later than most people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like it kind of just like zoomed,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I moved here in twenty fifteen, right
Speaker 1: after I graduated high school, and I was already skating
Speaker 1: and started competing and stuff. But I would say, like
Speaker 1: after that two years of living here of just like
Speaker 1: you know, grinding, filming and linking up with homies, like
Speaker 1: they kind of just like grinding and literally grinding, yeah
Speaker 1: for real, and then it just like I don't know,

Speaker 1: I had one homeie, not like me as a character,
Speaker 1: but I had one homie hit me up. They had
Speaker 1: this games called Sessions come out and I think it
Speaker 1: was on Xbox and stuff, and he like did a
Speaker 1: trick was called like a laser flip on a set,
Speaker 1: and then after he landed it, it was like you
Speaker 1: completed the Deshaun Jordan Challenge and I didn't know that
Speaker 1: they had it in the game until you told me
Speaker 1: that my big bro TJ. And I was like, what
Speaker 1: the heck, Like they put that in the game, and
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, nah, they didn't baby now that
Speaker 1: they were trying to like have me get in the game.
Speaker 1: But like it was something like my agent was like
Speaker 1: talking with him and trying to figure out how they
Speaker 1: would run and how they do it, and they got
Speaker 1: to skate a new skate. Yeah, I need the skate.
Speaker 1: I need to be in the scale hitting up all
Speaker 1: the homies so I feel like might be connected and
Speaker 1: then they all be like, oh, we'll let you know.
Speaker 1: It's like kind of a minute until it comes out.
Speaker 1: So I used to be like my so my childhood
Speaker 1: skaters were separate from like hip hop people. Okay, it
Speaker 1: was very like divided. We'd be like fuck the skaters.
Speaker 1: Like when I was like eight nine, the older people
Speaker 1: I would hang out with. It was like such a
Speaker 1: like there was like a point in time in my
Speaker 1: childhood where like skaters were looked at as like totally
Speaker 1: opposite of like the fucking guys who like did bullshit.
Speaker 1: Like you known, I was a bootlegg and I was
Speaker 1: like seventeen, but I was like fucking I was growing
Speaker 1: up like I was. I lived in Mesa as a
Speaker 1: high schooler, but before that, I was in Phoenix, like
Speaker 1: on nineteenth Avenue and like done lap Oka and we
Speaker 1: did not fuck with the skaters. And then I moved
Speaker 1: to Mesa and I'm around all these fucking white kids.
Speaker 1: We're in DC and shit and uh, and you know
Speaker 1: it just I think that there was like a cultural
Speaker 1: shift where like kind of the two sides kind of
Speaker 1: just merged. But like early on, skaters were like this
Speaker 1: thing that was like over there. Yeah, definitely separated because
Speaker 1: I even like before I skated, like I was in
Speaker 1: like dance groups, like I did a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: So when I started skating, it was like in my family,
Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh, you skating out, and I was
Speaker 1: like yeah, and I was trying to like tell them
Speaker 1: what it was and how it was and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So shout out to like guys like Stevie Williams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really kind of helped me bridge the two worlds. And
Speaker 1: then I get to give a lot of love to
Speaker 1: Tony Hawk the video game, yep, because I feel like
Speaker 1: the video game kind of made everybody a fan of
Speaker 1: skateboarding facts. And then and then par Real was like
Speaker 1: the guy in hip hop who like it was like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, you could be a skater and be a
Speaker 1: musical genius. That makes classic. He started the whole skate
Speaker 1: team too at ice Cream, so he likes in the
Speaker 1: in the mix. You know, if you don't know skate
Speaker 1: anybody know the Tony Hawk game, Like, yeah, I just yeah,
Speaker 1: Tony Hawk Pro Skater was my ship. It's sill, my
Speaker 1: favorite's probably my that's probably my favorite game ever. Like
Speaker 1: I bought the new re release okay, oh yeah yeah
Speaker 1: yeah when they released it. Yeah, man, I like did
Speaker 1: they remaster? They had like a lot of the homies
Speaker 1: in there, Like who like you know in today's generation
Speaker 1: of like street skateboards. Yeah, they put people in there.
Speaker 1: So what would you say, Like, there's like obviously there's
Speaker 1: like different genres of skateboarding. There's street skating, which is
Speaker 1: more grinding, using like elements that you would find on
Speaker 1: the sidewalk. Yeah, rail stairs, there's vert are those like
Speaker 1: the two? Yeah, it's yeah, it's yeah, it's vert and
Speaker 1: street skateboarding. Yeah, and then there's like bowl is kind
Speaker 1: of like the same thing. They call it park, but
Speaker 1: really it's just like a bowl, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But it's all it's still transition in the bowl. So
Speaker 1: it's technically like, all, what do you street? I skate both,
Speaker 1: but I'm mainly skate street, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I compete like street skateboarding and everything, but I
Speaker 1: like skating both. They're both funder me. So and I
Speaker 1: kind of grew up skating transition because of my local
Speaker 1: skate park in Arizona was all like transition, right, So
Speaker 1: I like kind of started getting into street skateboarding after that.
Speaker 1: So you never went to Red Parking Mesa a couple
Speaker 1: of times when I was younger, but I never really
Speaker 1: spent time at park. Yeah, that parks. I used to
Speaker 1: walk there every night and play basketball with a bunch
Speaker 1: of fucking pisces. I was like the only guy who
Speaker 1: spoke English. I was like fucking twelve hooping with a
Speaker 1: bunch of like shout out to all the Mexicans in Mesa,
Speaker 1: but all the guys were like shorter than me, so
Speaker 1: it was kind of tight, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Over they're dunking help people. He was, oh, man, but then,
Speaker 1: but yo, what's crazy is I moved to Mesa right
Speaker 1: before Reed Park opened, so me and my boys I thought,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, let me try skating. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I feel like I could. At one point in time,
Speaker 1: I could pull off a kickflip. I could still probably ali,
Speaker 1: but my skating career was short because we went to
Speaker 1: break in to read before it opened. But it was
Speaker 1: still like you could see that, oh it's a skate park.
Speaker 1: I just got to hop over the fence, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't open to the public yet, so we jumped the
Speaker 1: wall and then uh, I think the cops or somebody
Speaker 1: started to pull up or whatever's cops up everywhere over there,
Speaker 1: and we tried to jump the fence to run and
Speaker 1: my jeans got stuck in the fucking spike at the
Speaker 1: top of the I fell, hate ship, broke my hand.
Speaker 1: Never skated again. WHOA. I was like, this is not
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna just play Tony Hawk. That was
Speaker 1: a tragic experience. Yeah, you gotta give it a try. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no, this is not gonna work for
Speaker 1: you by Pop Ali for the ground and Papa Ali.
Speaker 1: I think I could. I think I could pull an
Speaker 1: Allie off. Hey how about this, Syrius, You're gonna give
Speaker 1: me that fucking look over there was put some money
Speaker 1: on it. I could. I think I could stell all
Speaker 1: I saw you tie, I saw you had tied on
Speaker 1: other day, tie it on the board. Yeah, there's some
Speaker 1: good rappers, Hopson, Rich, the kids, Solid Rich, the kid
Speaker 1: being like Trey flipped downstairs like yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: think Hobson could get him. Though. I think those are
Speaker 1: the two best that that would be. I think a
Speaker 1: good game was skate. He's not as good as as Hopson. Now, well,
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy is like so like Ty and
Speaker 1: Wayne on the same session, And it was funny because
Speaker 1: like I don't think like Ty knew how good like
Speaker 1: Wayne is because Wayne, like Wayne be going to Tampa
Speaker 1: skate park, but he like skate skate when you the park,
Speaker 1: like he sliding the rail like he's jumping down the
Speaker 1: stair like and it was just crazy because I was
Speaker 1: like he was like, man, like I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: roll down that one, right, there and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we go get you there, like you know what. But
Speaker 1: he'd be like really like he loves skating, like he
Speaker 1: tried to pull up any times, you know, any chance
Speaker 1: he can get to skate, and it's cool because he
Speaker 1: could roll in Wayne or Tie Oh Man, No, no no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, who are you talking about right now?
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Tie Sign. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: like getting in at the park and like, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean skating and thought, yeah he would. I've
Speaker 1: known that guy for fucking ten years. I never knew
Speaker 1: he was picked up a skateboard. Yeah, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta see. He posted a video of him at the park.
Speaker 1: He was smoking cigarettes on the podcast like a real
Speaker 1: fucking degenerate though. Yeah. He was like, Yo, can I smoke?
Speaker 1: And I always assume it's weird. I'm like, yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: He pulls out a fucking pack of cigarettes from Dubai
Speaker 1: smokes three of them in the interview for We're all
Speaker 1: fucking Dying in here. It just smells like my dad
Speaker 1: for sure. Nah. Yeah, So who do for you? Like
Speaker 1: your experience? You think is the best skating rapper? I
Speaker 1: would say, man off the top of my head, like
Speaker 1: the best skate rapper I know, Like I'll probably say
Speaker 1: Rich because like I've seen like footage of him, like
Speaker 1: Trey flipping a seven stairs. You know, he's a beast,
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean. I think people don't
Speaker 1: understand how good he like. And he it's a skate
Speaker 1: parking downtown. I lay the barracks, yeah, and he like
Speaker 1: always the tenths there there. He's a beast, like people
Speaker 1: do not understand. Rich the kid is one of them
Speaker 1: guys on the state. He's better than Wayne, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Rich the kid is a beat. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: skates skate like you gotta set up the altar. I
Speaker 1: tried to set this up like four years ago. I
Speaker 1: tried to set up the Hopson versus Rich the Kid's
Speaker 1: game of skate and they were talking like stupid money
Speaker 1: like I think they were like one hundred grand on
Speaker 1: the line and I don't remember which side uh was
Speaker 1: not down, But somebody ended up backing out and but
Speaker 1: that would have been epick. Yeah, that would have been crazy.
Speaker 1: I saw Hopson had a show. I forgot w sho
Speaker 1: Veny was, but he hasd somebody to come on stage.
Speaker 1: And he played them skate. It was like some random
Speaker 1: due in the crowd. He does that. He would do
Speaker 1: that every tour day. He would just say, who wants
Speaker 1: to play skate before the show? Behind the venue, just
Speaker 1: playing skating ship that's fire, that's yeah, there's been. What
Speaker 1: was the what was it? Who was the rapper who
Speaker 1: tried to rap? It was signed the Current or signed
Speaker 1: the Jet Life. What was the name of the skater
Speaker 1: to turn into a rapper? Was it Stevie? Uh? The
Speaker 1: guy who was on Flight Society? Uh t k t
Speaker 1: K Kennedy in jail? Right yeah, I think right now
Speaker 1: he is Yeah, yeah yo. Shout out to him too,
Speaker 1: very like he was a pioneer. In fact, it was
Speaker 1: like it was him, like obviously, like when I got
Speaker 1: into skating, it was him, Antoine Dixon, Theoti's Beasley, like
Speaker 1: windsor James and like those dudes were like like yeah,
Speaker 1: the black skaters. Who was like really like okay, like
Speaker 1: you know we can do this, like you know it
Speaker 1: was yeah, yeah, he had had yeah, all the ice
Speaker 1: cream ads, like he was going crazy. I think he
Speaker 1: was Dave Angela Simmons at one point too. Oh shit,
Speaker 1: good for him. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: like in the whole scene, like he was like he
Speaker 1: had a TV show too. I remember he was going crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't I forget what he did. But pree him.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I don't know what he did.

Speaker 1: one more time. That's Harding Underscore Las Vegas. Let's get
Speaker 1: back to the interview anyway. So you're making music now, yeah,
Speaker 1: so what inspired you to make music? So? Like, music
Speaker 1: been a part of my life, you know, me since
Speaker 1: I was younger, and you know, with my cousins, like
Speaker 1: they would like write raps for me, like they would
Speaker 1: have a little freestyle circles and out of freestyle with them,
Speaker 1: and so I always had to pass from music, you know,
Speaker 1: like it just like it's always been a part of
Speaker 1: my life. And so when I started to getting older,
Speaker 1: like my ears started getting more mature for music, and
Speaker 1: I actually, like you know, wanted to tap in. So
Speaker 1: like even when I lived in az I was starting
Speaker 1: to like book like little studio time, and I was
Speaker 1: like making music and stuff, which like now I listened
Speaker 1: to it, I'm like, man, but you know it's all
Speaker 1: like growing, Yeah, it's all grown. But then I would
Speaker 1: say I moved, you know, I moved out here. And
Speaker 1: you know, the first friend group I like became like
Speaker 1: part of part of you know, I was in music
Speaker 1: was my big bro TJ. TJ Mysel He was a
Speaker 1: DJ and stuff, and uh I started like kicking it
Speaker 1: with him, you know, like Matt Ferg and you know
Speaker 1: that team and stuff. You know TJ Grandmaster Yeah yeah
Speaker 1: he's a kid. Yeah yeah, he's the Royals DJ now.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I started like kicking it with Larroy kilroy Is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I like started kicking with him. You know. I
Speaker 1: was getting like constructive criticism from them, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. They were helping me like grow. You know.
Speaker 1: My bro Tea was giving me, you know, feedback for it,
Speaker 1: was giving me feedback and so I was grown growing.
Speaker 1: Then I linked up with my bro Pat you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, who's like was is my engineer now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And we've been together for
Speaker 1: a couple of years now, and like just throughout that
Speaker 1: time from that, like having that like friend group, it
Speaker 1: just helped me, Like it helped me grow so much
Speaker 1: in music, and I was like getting more confident with dropping,
Speaker 1: and so all the bros like, Okay, you know, we're
Speaker 1: getting the point where like you know, like like the
Speaker 1: quality is there, you know, like let's start like playing
Speaker 1: drops and stuff and figuring out the best way to
Speaker 1: merge it, you know what I mean with what you
Speaker 1: already got going as a skateboarder, because like that like
Speaker 1: that's kind of hard sometimes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And so, like it was a couple of skaters who
Speaker 1: like you know, tried to make music you know, back
Speaker 1: in the day, and they just came across like super aggressive,
Speaker 1: and you know, the music wasn't like really up there,
Speaker 1: you know, like they weren't really skate as much. So
Speaker 1: it kind of left like a bad taste in skateboard's mouth,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so every time somebody
Speaker 1: said they made music, it was like, oh, like don't
Speaker 1: be you know, don't be a TK, don't be a
Speaker 1: Jimmy Rodgers. And so like that was always imprinted back
Speaker 1: in my head. So you know, I'm a super patient person,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and you know I believe,
Speaker 1: you know, Goshim's the right time. And so it's like
Speaker 1: I just you know waited, you know, worked hard, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, had my friend group I was
Speaker 1: around and the team I'm with, and so throughout the
Speaker 1: years of just you know, building, getting the reps and
Speaker 1: you know, we ended up at the point where like, okay,
Speaker 1: like let's drop you know, the first song and get
Speaker 1: into it. And so from there it kind of just
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I just have like a passion
Speaker 1: for music, you know what I mean, Like I like
Speaker 1: literally love music. And so with that, my whole thing
Speaker 1: was like, yo, like this is a part of me
Speaker 1: and I really want to introduce it in the right way.
Speaker 1: So like like let's take those necessary steps, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and have the patience to where like
Speaker 1: when I do it, it's like respected. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not like I don't get that stigmare, I don't get
Speaker 1: that like you know that opinion. And so yeah, I
Speaker 1: just started you know, dropping music and stuff, and you
Speaker 1: know it's been you know merging into like my world,
Speaker 1: my skating world, you know what I mean. Good, and
Speaker 1: got the support like the skateboard community. Some contents I'm
Speaker 1: in like X Game shows love, you know, Street League
Speaker 1: shows love. And so now I'm here where it's like
Speaker 1: I feel like it's like properly you know, being merged in.
Speaker 1: And so you know, I'm still grinding, you know, I
Speaker 1: know that chance that that crossover is it easy, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But I'm willing to put in
Speaker 1: the work, you know what I mean, to like put
Speaker 1: the music out so that people can like, you know,
Speaker 1: get that feeling of that passion through, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, and passion will be restaurers. So you know,
Speaker 1: I wake up, you know, I go to the gym
Speaker 1: at like seven, you know, eight in the morning. From there,
Speaker 1: I go skate all day and then I'm at the
Speaker 1: studio all night. Yeah, so I just wake up, I

Speaker 1: Like I'm surrounded by a great group of people. And
Speaker 1: so when you go skate all day, are you just practicing,
Speaker 1: are you filming content or like both? You know, So
Speaker 1: like some days we have sessions where we don't even film.
Speaker 1: Some days we have sessions where it's like, oh, like
Speaker 1: I want to get an edit done today, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and like we'll make an edit and
Speaker 1: post it. But every day it's really just like skating,
Speaker 1: you know, fun, just like keeping it fun and music
Speaker 1: helps me, you know, also keep skating fun because I
Speaker 1: have another outlet, you know that I'm like passionate about.
Speaker 1: So like it's the same stoke like when I'm skating,
Speaker 1: I'm stoked to other studio, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1: you know what I mean, pat like like all the
Speaker 1: engineers there, and then we just kind of like base
Speaker 1: the rollout playing off that. It's like I really like,

Speaker 1: best music, you know what I mean. Like right like
Speaker 1: you're writing everything or you're punching in. Uh, Like I
Speaker 1: would go in the studio with the beat on punching
Speaker 1: and probably like six different reps, like different melodies, then

Speaker 1: trying to be but like I'm willing to put in
Speaker 1: the work, you know what I mean. It's just like
Speaker 1: definitely hard man because people are already gonna just have
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even tell anybody you're a skater if they like,
Speaker 1: if you meet them through music, just tell me you're
Speaker 1: a music and then if they happen to find out
Speaker 1: you're a fucking huge skater mm hm and like and
Speaker 1: that's kind of how we like do it. We just
Speaker 1: spind it like I show the music the music, I
Speaker 1: make it separate, and if people like people come in
Speaker 1: off the music and then by not skating, that's good
Speaker 1: than skating vice versus. So you know, just really just
Speaker 1: trying to like make sure you go out of the
Speaker 1: most natural way and just like you know, doing it
Speaker 1: to do it at a point to where it's like undeniable,
Speaker 1: you know, like it's like you're gonna feel the passion
Speaker 1: through like the work, you know what I mean, and

Speaker 1: stay true to yourself, you know what I mean. Stay hungry,
Speaker 1: stay humble. I don't put a date on success, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And don't don't don't do things
Speaker 1: out of expectation, you know, and meaning like you know,
Speaker 1: just grind like hard work never goes unnoticed, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I feel like I've been on both
Speaker 1: sides of it, you know what I mean, just like
Speaker 1: like dreaming about that time to come and like compare
Speaker 1: myself to people like I had to like get out
Speaker 1: of that like state of mind just be like yo,
Speaker 1: just like stay in your lane, stay two to yourself
Speaker 1: and just grind like people will notice, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, People will notice the hard work. And I
Speaker 1: was blessed to have people around me that like help me,
Speaker 1: you know, stay on my toes about that too, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, just keep your head down, man, be confident,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and just believe you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no limit on dreaming and there's no
Speaker 1: limit on like what you can do. So you know,
Speaker 1: Scott Scott, I always say sky ain't the limit. People
