Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Man. So you obviously I just watched your, uh,
1:46
Speaker 1: your interview with Gillian Walla, which I thought was super
1:49
Speaker 1: dope because I really thought, just from like a perspective
1:52
Speaker 1: of like any young man that's living life right now,
1:56
Speaker 1: there's so much to take from your story. And I
2:00
Speaker 1: think that, like when we think about incarceration and being
2:05
Speaker 1: at your absolute worse in life, I think that I'm
2:08
Speaker 1: sure being in the jail cell, not knowing how long
2:11
Speaker 1: you're gonna be locked up. I know you said you
2:13
Speaker 1: ended up not doing the whole ten you did five,
2:18
Speaker 1: but mentally to be able to like bounce back after
2:22
Speaker 1: you get released and like kind of not let up
2:26
Speaker 1: if anything level up like that takes a lot of
2:28
Speaker 1: mental fortitude. Man, it was differently. Shit, I still better
2:32
Speaker 1: with it today. Still I'm still transitioning, you know what
2:36
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's still a whole lot of shit that
2:39
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's still a whole lot of shit.
2:41
Speaker 1: Like I learned something new every day. Yeah, I might
2:44
Speaker 1: not even speak on it, but I was like, damn,
2:47
Speaker 1: Like you's still certain shit that I battle with, Like, Damn,
2:50
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Shit go like this, but I
2:53
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Like especially with the internet, shit, especially
2:56
Speaker 1: with the industry. You know what I'm saying, Like you
2:59
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, just rubbing elbows, like the fake love,
3:02
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I grew up on
3:04
Speaker 1: principles and more so, you know, like the fake love.
3:07
Speaker 1: Like this shit get under your skin, but you gotta
3:10
Speaker 1: deal with it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah,
3:13
Speaker 1: I deal with it. It's like the industry, like friendships
3:16
Speaker 1: and then there's like the real friendships, and it's like
3:18
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to like maneuver and play
3:20
Speaker 1: the game in a way where you don't take the
3:23
Speaker 1: industry shit personal and you don't take offense to it.
3:26
Speaker 1: You just kind of know what it is and at
3:27
Speaker 1: the same time be aware of like what's actually happening.
3:30
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You said, like the baby
3:33
Speaker 1: with somebody who reached out to you where you were
3:35
Speaker 1: locked up, showed you loved Kevin Gates. Those were two
3:37
Speaker 1: of the first people who you tapped in with when
3:38
Speaker 1: you got it. Like I just heard Baby was riding
3:41
Speaker 1: in my music, but Gates actually reached out, like Gays
3:45
Speaker 1: was reaching out like on like two or three different occasions,
3:48
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, Like, but like when
3:52
Speaker 1: I got around Gates, I can feel the generosity. I
3:55
Speaker 1: can feel like where you come from, the struggle, the
3:58
Speaker 1: pain and shit like so niggas like this, like they
4:02
Speaker 1: gonna embrace this shit. Some people can just feel this
4:04
Speaker 1: shit through lyrics like yeah, you can tell one a
4:07
Speaker 1: motherfucker and actually done something. And when a motherfucker ain't
4:10
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like or they just they
4:13
Speaker 1: they putting they improbably did something, but they putting extra
4:16
Speaker 1: shit on it, right, you know what I'm saying, Like,
4:18
Speaker 1: so you know you can you know what I'm saying,
4:21
Speaker 1: if you come from that shit, you gonna be able
4:23
Speaker 1: to tell. Yeah. Gates is also somebody who's also kind
4:25
Speaker 1: of been into similar situations where he was incarcerated. And
4:28
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, how important is that to
4:31
Speaker 1: know that? Like cause I have family members that have
4:33
Speaker 1: been doing i mean over twenty years in prison now,
4:37
Speaker 1: and I know that like anytime we write them or
4:40
Speaker 1: we accept the phone calls, it's so important. But I
4:42
Speaker 1: feel like when you get incarcerated, did you ever feel
4:46
Speaker 1: like at certain point of time you were kind of
4:47
Speaker 1: forgotten about when it cames of family, friends, whatever. Yeah,
4:50
Speaker 1: but it gets to a point where like you be like, shit,
4:54
Speaker 1: don't no matter owe me no letter, don't no better,
4:56
Speaker 1: owe me no phone call, don't nobotter owe me no
4:59
Speaker 1: come and see, he I put myself in this motherfucker.
5:02
Speaker 1: You know you gotta be a realist when when you
5:05
Speaker 1: when that's that's our part of being a man to me,
5:09
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Just being a realist, Like
5:11
Speaker 1: you gotta accept this ship like you can. You can't
5:14
Speaker 1: really feel like oh, Oh I'm loneless. You wanted to
5:17

Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I'm saying by me being
15:46
Speaker 1: affiliated with an organization, it's been a time where I
15:49
Speaker 1: felt like it was old when I was like, you
15:52
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, get bumping head with my organization,
15:55
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like you know because it
15:58
Speaker 1: gets physical, you get what I'm saying, Yeah, physical or
16:00
Speaker 1: some saying like when you break certain rules and shit,
16:04
Speaker 1: and I feel like that, damn, I might not make
16:06
Speaker 1: it that this motherfucker I know me, You know what
16:09
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I ain't good with authority, not the police,
16:13
Speaker 1: but guys in the organization. I ain't, you know what
16:16
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I always stayed in some bullshit because
16:19
Speaker 1: I won't good with with with I went good with
16:24
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, motherfucker telling me what to do? Yeah?
16:27
Speaker 1: And then also shit, I mean, no matter where you're affiliated,
16:31
Speaker 1: at least from when I heard once it becomes prison,
16:35
Speaker 1: everything changes in terms of like structure or the politics,
16:39
Speaker 1: the rules, everything, just it's a whole new game, right different, Yeah,
16:42
Speaker 1: different different, Yo, you got locked up in twenty seventeen,
16:47
Speaker 1: right yup. So the whole rap game was in a
16:51
Speaker 1: weird place then because it was kind of like obviously,
16:54
Speaker 1: like I feel like twenty seventeen, it was like peak
16:58
Speaker 1: cloud rap shit, soundclouds shit. It was a lot of
17:02
Speaker 1: goofy antics on Instagram and a lot of rappers are
17:05
Speaker 1: getting signed just because they were doing dumb shit on
17:07
Speaker 1: the Internet still is, but not as bad because it
17:12
Speaker 1: got it was bad like twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, it
17:15
Speaker 1: was rough, but also like you went in and like
17:18
Speaker 1: Memphis was bubbling right, but now you're out and it's
17:22
Speaker 1: like the forefront of hip hop. Yeah, Memphis, Like Memphis
17:27
Speaker 1: like the thing when it comes to your far. I
17:30
Speaker 1: think it's the I mean it's I think it's the
17:31
Speaker 1: number one city too, and much being biased, shout to Atlanta.
17:37
Speaker 1: And also I think Detroit's bubbling right now. Florida. Obviously,
17:41
Speaker 1: different parts of Florida have been doing their thing, but
17:43
Speaker 1: I think just Memphis has had the choke hold for
17:46
Speaker 1: the last few years. Most different like got their own
17:50
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But like Memphis, bring a
17:53
Speaker 1: lot of Memphis, bring a lot of the sauce, the
17:56
Speaker 1: season into the rap guy, yeah, lingo, a lot of
18:00
Speaker 1: things we say, like you know what I'm saying, like
18:03
Speaker 1: the way we deliver, people picking up on this ship
18:05
Speaker 1: and people starting to speaking more, you know what I'm saying,
18:08
Speaker 1: Like they say we country, but now they like it. Well,
18:12
Speaker 1: now everybody sounded like they're from Memphis. They use it,
18:15
Speaker 1: and they're using Southern beats everybody using take keys Keith, Yeah,
18:22
Speaker 1: everybody using you know what I'm saying, Uh, these certain
18:26
Speaker 1: take keyp from Memphis. Yep, you see what I'm saying.
18:29
Speaker 1: So because I'm thinking, like twenty seventeen, obviously Dolph is
18:31
Speaker 1: still uh you know, killing it. Rest in peace to
18:34
Speaker 1: Doll God, he's still killing it. Black Youngster was doing
18:37
Speaker 1: this thing at that time. But now like fast forward
18:40
Speaker 1: and it's just like, man, everybody's signing somebody from Memphis,
18:44
Speaker 1: if God he hasn't already signed him. And then you
18:47
Speaker 1: got like just this whole young croper artists that are
18:51
Speaker 1: like just yeah, I just think it's dope to see.
18:54
Speaker 1: What do you think it is about? From before you
18:58
Speaker 1: went into now, do you feel like everyone's moving more
19:01
Speaker 1: in the same direction, Because it did feel like there
19:04
Speaker 1: was a lot of division in Memphis prior to Uh,
19:08
Speaker 1: I would say probably before you got locked up. It
19:10
Speaker 1: felt like a lot of people, I mean not to
19:11
Speaker 1: say they don't have issues now, but it feels like
19:13
Speaker 1: there's more of like a unified front. Maybe I'm wrong.
19:19
Speaker 1: I can say that it's just forbidding, which is all right, right,
19:24
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, but yeah, I guess I
19:27
Speaker 1: guess you could say that, you know, but I mean
19:30
Speaker 1: if you respect money, I don't respect money. That's fair.
19:34
Speaker 1: I don't expect money. So you know, like if I
19:36
Speaker 1: fuck with you, I focus. But I'm still getting over
19:41
Speaker 1: the hump of or not respecting money. You see what
19:45
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because like you, it's it gets. It's to
19:49
Speaker 1: the point now where like you know how they say,
19:52
Speaker 1: you know how they say a lot of people be
19:55
Speaker 1: be be be a sheep in wolves clothing. Definitely, I
20:00
Speaker 1: feel like today you got to be a wolf in
20:03
Speaker 1: sheep clothing. That you get what I'm saying, Like you
20:07
Speaker 1: got to like like they see a real one coming,
20:10
Speaker 1: they see somebody who really authentic, who really about it,
20:14
Speaker 1: they tend to stray away from you. They almost want
20:16
Speaker 1: you to be your worst self. Yeah, they almost want you.
20:21
Speaker 1: They're they're scared of of you. So you gotta be
20:23
Speaker 1: You gotta be extra night. You got to be a wolf.
20:26
Speaker 1: But you got to put on sheep clothing. But and
20:28
Speaker 1: back in the days it was I ain't nigga sheeps
20:31
Speaker 1: and wolf clothing, right, but now it's vice versa, Like
20:35
Speaker 1: you got to be a wolf. If you're a wolf,
20:37
Speaker 1: you got to put on sheep clothing, cause like, like
20:39
Speaker 1: they say, like you a wolf run into a pack
20:42
Speaker 1: of sheep, everybody's gonna scram But if you're a wolf
20:46
Speaker 1: and you put on some sheep clothing, you might get
20:49
Speaker 1: into some rooms. Even you gotta blend in. You gotta
20:52
Speaker 1: blend in because like if you try to just be
20:55
Speaker 1: too real, too authentic, they gonna shut you out. They
20:58
Speaker 1: ain't gonna So this was me the most because I
21:01
Speaker 1: can't be who I am. I can't be who I am,
21:04
Speaker 1: like not far on the violence till but I can't
21:07
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, Like I can't you
21:09
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because it'll fuck up so much,
21:11
Speaker 1: so much business, right, And it's like especially nowadays because
21:17
Speaker 1: you see it, man, this cancel culture shit is real
21:20
Speaker 1: and motherfucker's are so like worried about like the brand
21:23
Speaker 1: or worried about like you know, like I think I
21:26
Speaker 1: think you hit it on the head. I think nowadays
21:28
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of you know, you got the fake
21:32
Speaker 1: it till you make it. I'm going to play the
21:34
Speaker 1: game to a sense, man, And I think that's all
21:36
Speaker 1: I mean, that's always been the case, you know, But
21:37
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have kind of because
21:40
Speaker 1: back then, like tupa them, they would be in them.
21:42
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, but I think a lot of
21:44
Speaker 1: people in the last like four or five years since
21:46
Speaker 1: since you know, you've been down, have probably showed you
21:50
Speaker 1: the path not to go. They kind of made those
21:54
Speaker 1: mistakes for a guy like you to come in and
21:56
Speaker 1: see that and be like, oh, well look I'm gonna
21:58
Speaker 1: move this way because there's a big picture, there's a
22:00
Speaker 1: bigger play here. I got that I had to give
22:02
Speaker 1: with the program. Yeah, I had to get with I'm
22:04
Speaker 1: looking at but but but I'm not be literal in
22:07
Speaker 1: them or I'm not saying they lived in a man.
22:10
Speaker 1: I'm saying they smart. Yeah, of course they smart. But
22:13
Speaker 1: at the same time, though, like the part that irk
22:17
Speaker 1: me is like, don't act like that when you really
22:19
Speaker 1: I ain't liked it, you see what I'm saying, Like
22:22
Speaker 1: they get your money staff Also like I think too,
22:25
Speaker 1: like with anything, you should want to have gross right,
22:31
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So like, while you still
22:33
Speaker 1: want to be yourself right in order for you to
22:36
Speaker 1: grow fully, whether that's bring your family to certain things
22:39
Speaker 1: that you know, give them certain things that they never
22:41
Speaker 1: had before. Establish certain situations for your career, right that
22:46
Speaker 1: are bigger than just the rap shit. You know what
22:48
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We just saw Yo Gotti by the fucking
22:50
Speaker 1: soccer team. You know what I'm saying. That's the kind
22:53
Speaker 1: of shit I feel like. You know, at the end
22:55
Speaker 1: of the day, nobody wants to stay the same. But
22:58
Speaker 1: to answer your question, is getting better. It's getting better.
23:02
Speaker 1: And I think, like the situation me and money bay
23:05
Speaker 1: your head, I believe they helped a lot of people out,
23:07
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like me and him coming
23:09
Speaker 1: me and him reuniting and coming back together and showing
23:12
Speaker 1: the city the culture like like you can you can't

Speaker 1: whether or not it was good or bad, but obviously
25:17
Speaker 1: losing him for the city of Memphis was a big
25:20
Speaker 1: deal for hip hop in general. What what was you know,
25:25
Speaker 1: the severity of that loss just for the scene out there, man,
25:30
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I was incocerated when it happened, right,
25:33
Speaker 1: so I couldn't I ain't really just feel that fake
25:35
Speaker 1: I just knew it fuked up. Damn like like damn, like,
25:40
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, but I never got the
25:42
Speaker 1: food it fike, you know what I'm saying. Because but
25:44
Speaker 1: now that I'm not here and I'm like, damn, no, dolf,
25:48
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But you know, when it
25:50
Speaker 1: come to death, I embraced deaf like that's on some
25:54
Speaker 1: personal shit. That's a whole nother conversation. But I don't
25:56
Speaker 1: look at deaf too bad, like I embrace it like
26:00
Speaker 1: what it is we live to die. Yeah, I mean
26:02
Speaker 1: I feel like too. You live a certain way, you
26:04
Speaker 1: kind of gotta brace yourself for death at all times.
26:07
Speaker 1: And not just if you live a certain way. It
26:09
Speaker 1: could be anybody, not the knock on wood. But you
26:12
Speaker 1: can even have a rig. It's written, whatever gonna happen
26:16
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. All you can do is try to
26:18
Speaker 1: prevent it's way you can. But when it's your time,
26:21
Speaker 1: it's your time you can't run from. It's one thing
26:23
Speaker 1: you can't run from. You can't run from it. So
26:25
Speaker 1: when it comes to dem like, I ain't the one
26:28
Speaker 1: to just be like oh, because I'm really like I
26:32
Speaker 1: understand it gotta heave it. It got and I know
26:35
Speaker 1: it's a conversation that motherfuckers don't like to have, but
26:39
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie to myself. That's fair man. Something
26:42
Speaker 1: else that obviously, uh you speak about in your music,
26:45
Speaker 1: h Yo, talk about because I think a lot of
26:48
Speaker 1: people don't realize, like the pimp and culture in Memphis.
26:51
Speaker 1: It's like this big deal, you know what I'm saying.
26:54
Speaker 1: That is like kind of like a side to the
26:57
Speaker 1: to the game. Obviously it is the game, but aside
27:02
Speaker 1: to the streets that I don't think we hear about
27:06
Speaker 1: it left anymore because when I was a kid, we
27:09
Speaker 1: had so many artists like too Short, and just so
27:14
Speaker 1: many artists do or die, you know what I'm saying,
27:17
Speaker 1: And I don't you don't hear about it as much
27:19
Speaker 1: anymore in music? How big is that culture in Memphis
27:23
Speaker 1: still to this day? Like not to say you're involved
27:26
Speaker 1: in that the but I just mean Memphis, you know,
27:29
Speaker 1: Memphis staying for making Easter money, pimping holes and style
27:32
Speaker 1: making ease and money, pimping hose. It's serious, you know
27:36
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And like like I tell everybody like
27:38
Speaker 1: that this conversation come over like Memphis, Memphis and Memphis.
27:44
Speaker 1: Pimping is like selling we it's different breakage though, like
27:49
Speaker 1: you got you got niggas who pimped junkies, m you
27:53
Speaker 1: got you know what I'm saying, Like it's just different breakers.
27:55
Speaker 1: You got niggas who you know what I'm saying, it's
27:57
Speaker 1: just same ship as people who say fucking feeding all
28:00
Speaker 1: lace drugs. It's just it's just it's just in your
28:03
Speaker 1: it's just in your bloody self. Bullshit. You got lame niggas.
28:07
Speaker 1: You ain't even got to be a gangster to be
28:08
Speaker 1: a pimp. You ain't got to be a killer to
28:10
Speaker 1: be a pimp, Like you could be a straight lame
28:12
Speaker 1: And do you got niggas that ain't gone. I ain't
28:15

28:26
Speaker 1: no problem. I don't want nothing to do with no smoke,
28:29
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But there's some pimping. So
28:32
Speaker 1: if the brackets are pimping, uh dope, fiends what's the
28:36
Speaker 1: highest bracket the ass bracket when you get up and
28:40
Speaker 1: corporate like extortion, Like if a senator comes into extortion,
28:45
Speaker 1: it get crazy. I ain't gonna put out it after,
28:47
Speaker 1: but it gets crazy. It's it's a it's a darker
28:50
Speaker 1: side to it, like like if a private investigator like
28:53
Speaker 1: needs a girl to set up some rich guy. No,
28:57
Speaker 1: take some crazy pictures like you see it in the
28:59
Speaker 1: movie Bingo. Now you're balking up the right. Look, I
29:03

Speaker 1: the managers? Girls? No, now a Little pump Tiger does it.
30:00
Speaker 1: Adam twenty two from No Jumper does it. But I
30:03
Speaker 1: feel like it's kind of like, I guess it's kind
30:07
Speaker 1: of like having your own porn site, but it's like
30:11
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, instead of you get paid once,
30:14
Speaker 1: like eight hundred dollars to shoot a scene, you get
30:17
Speaker 1: paid residual income off your content. So a lot of women,
30:22
Speaker 1: you know, are I thought you were gonna hit that motherfucker?
30:25
Speaker 1: Are you? I mean, this guy bring that thing over here.

31:15
Speaker 1: I feel like backpage has been gone for like ten years. Yeah,
31:19
Speaker 1: shouts the backpage. When I was a kid, there was
31:23
Speaker 1: a streak in Phoenix, Arizona called Van Buren and it
31:27
Speaker 1: was like the main track, right, so we would like
31:32
Speaker 1: I was like twelve thirteen, my cousin was fifteen. We'd
31:35
Speaker 1: take my parents' car and we used to ride up
31:37
Speaker 1: and down Van Buren fucking with prostitutes. We'd like this.
31:44
Speaker 1: We would just troll them. We would throw water balloons
31:46
Speaker 1: out of him, all kinds of shit. But it was
31:49
Speaker 1: it's crazy, and we got chased by a pinpoints. Actually
31:52

41:06
Speaker 1: clash in uh in Mid States when it comes to females.
41:12
Speaker 1: He is the same god. He's the sixth God, and
41:16

42:37
Speaker 1: the way you guys pronounce music music mrsic man, everybody,
42:47
Speaker 1: that's the one word. If I just hear him say it,
42:50
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're from Memphis. Have you been able to
42:55
Speaker 1: link up somebody who I love as well from the city,

43:07
Speaker 1: I'm moving. We you know what I'm saying. I feel
43:09
Speaker 1: like together on a song, you guys would fucking SPADs
43:12
Speaker 1: because you guys each have such unique tones. That's one
43:17
Speaker 1: of the first things I picked up about you was like, man,
43:19
Speaker 1: your voice, your tone is is is very unique right now.
43:23
Speaker 1: So yeah, we were just it's crazy. We were just
43:26
Speaker 1: talking about this ship today. Nah, man, my people go
43:30
Speaker 1: to make that we got some ship that we Yeah,
43:33
Speaker 1: we're trying to, but you know, we both moving a lot,
43:36
Speaker 1: we both you know what I'm saying, So you know
43:38
Speaker 1: it'd be hard, kind of hard to bump up. And
43:40
Speaker 1: then most of us you want to get in a
43:41
Speaker 1: lab J B wanna do you want to feel the
43:46
Speaker 1: energy that's you that wants that. I mean, I have
43:50
Speaker 1: seen that with artist's period since I've been out, like
43:53
Speaker 1: niggas be like, I'm trying to like in because that's
43:55
Speaker 1: the difference I think nowadays is that people don't get
43:58
Speaker 1: in the studio together anymore. Yeah, Like I meant, look
44:03
Speaker 1: at much shit happened in the hip out of course
44:05
Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, and the hate and jitus in
44:07
Speaker 1: all time, that's real. I feel like the safer move
44:11
Speaker 1: is to like just send me the session. I mean yeah,
44:14
Speaker 1: but like because you know, you go to the studio,
44:16
Speaker 1: you don't know whose entouragers are there, you don't know
44:18
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on, you know what I mean?
44:19
Speaker 1: Like right, yeah, it's it's definitely since twenty seventeen, we've
44:26
Speaker 1: lost a lot of people in hip hop. Like you said,
44:28
Speaker 1: the temperature is just a lot different than it's ever been,
44:32
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And that's not even just
44:34
Speaker 1: in rap music, that's anywhere like out here in La
44:37
Speaker 1: shit is crazy crazy because everybody a rapper, like you
44:43
Speaker 1: dropped one song and you a rapper, and then when
44:45
Speaker 1: you die, they'd be like, oh rappers such and the
44:47
Speaker 1: kill or don't who he wasn't even know real rapper.
44:50
Speaker 1: He just recorded a song and now they got the
44:53
Speaker 1: game looking like all rappers dying and then they get
44:56
Speaker 1: a say, cheese TV post because they got two songs.
44:58
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, no, you want no rapp or rapper.
45:01
Speaker 1: You won dedicated your life to it. You it was
45:04
Speaker 1: your hobby. You know what I'm saying, Hey, at what
45:06
Speaker 1: point in time did you feel like you stopped taking
45:09
Speaker 1: Like when did rap become full time for you and
45:12
Speaker 1: not a hobby anymore? Because I feel like everyone has
45:15
Speaker 1: that period of time where you start taking this like serious,
45:19
Speaker 1: like you know, obviously you start rapping, you try to
45:22
Speaker 1: fuck around with it, it starts to work out. When
45:24
Speaker 1: did you decide to kind of like go ten toes in,
45:27
Speaker 1: two feet in on the on the rap shit shit,
45:31
Speaker 1: when I just wanted to did the bed. That was it.
45:33
Speaker 1: That was the difference. It was like I'm ready, like
45:36
Speaker 1: I already. I always had the tenant. And like I
45:38
Speaker 1: said before I went in, I dropped going straight in song,
45:41
Speaker 1: and that motherfucker was climbing while I was in concentrated.
45:44
Speaker 1: I went to jail. It was an eight million views
45:47
Speaker 1: and I came home it was like it what forty
45:49
Speaker 1: six forty seven million views, like like this without promotion,
45:53
Speaker 1: this without a label, this was like the honest way
45:56
Speaker 1: to go. This is without me, right, this is without
45:59
Speaker 1: youah me. Like this ship was growing while I was inconcrated.
46:02
