2:14
Speaker 1: Because I was I was guarding big man. I can
2:17
Speaker 1: stick whoever. I just love playing defense. But yeah, man,
2:21
Speaker 1: when I was thirteen, I dropped my first mixtape. I
2:24
Speaker 1: was in ninth grade in high school. I thought I
2:25
Speaker 1: was the coolest kid ever. It was just I just
2:28
Speaker 1: had a found the love for it being creative, you know,
2:31
Speaker 1: especially yourself through music, and um, I just once I
2:35
Speaker 1: got in that booth, I just never never turned back.
2:37
Speaker 1: You were probably like a celebrity in school at a
2:40
Speaker 1: young age. I mean, I think a lot of kids
2:42
Speaker 1: grow up like local celebrities. But that's not a lot
2:45
Speaker 1: of ninth grades putting out mixtapes. What got you more
2:48
Speaker 1: basketball or rapping? Rapping? I mean, for me, probably be rapping.
2:56
Speaker 1: That's why he went to rap, That's what it was.
2:59
Speaker 1: It wasn't even that, not even for that. I went
3:01
Speaker 1: to rap for the for the culture, you know, for
3:03
Speaker 1: the art form. Seem so nothing crushed your hoop dreams.
3:06
Speaker 1: It wasn't like an ankle injury. The coach. The coach,
3:09
Speaker 1: just like coaches don't really give the players the right
3:13
Speaker 1: chance sometime. And I was saying that the other that
3:15
Speaker 1: a coach commencea but kids dream if you have a
3:18
Speaker 1: bad coaching, I mean, I'm heavy, aren't you. Aren't you
3:23
Speaker 1: a coach? Yeah, but I encouraged the kids regardless they
3:25
Speaker 1: win to lose, I try to encourage. You could crush
3:27
Speaker 1: your kid's life. Yeah, I think you should talk kids
3:30
Speaker 1: the truth. So what the coach told you that I
3:33
Speaker 1: was nice? Like I was good. My brother was on
3:35
Speaker 1: the team, he got more playing time than me. I
3:37
Speaker 1: mean I was just underestimated. I underrated, Like you feel me,
3:40
Speaker 1: like like the coach will put me in. I would
3:42
Speaker 1: be kind of nervous because it's like when the coach
3:44
Speaker 1: don't play you, A lives like you. You're nervous, you
3:46
Speaker 1: don't want to make a mistake, you know what I'm saying.
3:48
Speaker 1: But if the coaches give you that opportunity, you don't
3:50
Speaker 1: feel nervous no more. But for me, I mean I
3:52
Speaker 1: got I did my thing when I got in the game,
3:54
Speaker 1: but the coaches he didn't play me enough. So what
3:56
Speaker 1: you think it was with the Rap the people gave
3:59
Speaker 1: you validation. That was enough for you. I mean for me,
4:01
Speaker 1: it was like with the Rap. I can take matters
4:03
Speaker 1: into my own hands. I don't got to work, I
4:05
Speaker 1: don't have to wait on the coach like I can
4:06
Speaker 1: go to the studio. I can go push my my mixtape,
4:08
Speaker 1: I can print them my own copies. I can go
4:10
Speaker 1: to do my own shows. I don't got to wait
4:12
Speaker 1: on the coach to put me in a game. I
4:14

Speaker 1: Do you take chicks with you when you go to
10:10
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff? Nah, it's the show off a
10:13
Speaker 1: little bit. Like there's a lot of girls there right
10:16
Speaker 1: like you frominging with California, But you don't make like
10:19
Speaker 1: like typical what's close music? You know what I'm saying?
10:22
Speaker 1: How did you break out of that mode of not
10:24
Speaker 1: making the stereotypical let me throw some chucks on and
10:26
Speaker 1: getting for the little rud or so? I mean it's
10:28
Speaker 1: a different stereotypical back to the I just think it's
10:34
Speaker 1: a different time it was. You know that was then,
10:36
Speaker 1: this is now. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
10:38
Speaker 1: as you know, I came in with working with Tyler
10:40
Speaker 1: people like I feel we was making different type of records.
10:42
Speaker 1: He wasn't really following the mode of what was going on.
10:45
Speaker 1: We our imagination was somewhere else in creativity. And then me,
10:49
Speaker 1: I just my favorite rapper is Kanye, you know what
10:52
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like he came in a game doing different,
10:54
Speaker 1: like he was different than everybody for me. So I
10:57
Speaker 1: just wanted to be soulful like you know. That's the
10:59
Speaker 1: reason I start rapping, like to do so for real
11:02
Speaker 1: hip hop, real music. I didn't do it get into
11:04
Speaker 1: it to make club records, you know what I'm saying,
11:06
Speaker 1: or a party. That's not why I do it, you
11:08
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I like ya. I like a
11:10
Speaker 1: lot of the young cats from the Western Nights because
11:11
Speaker 1: it's like they're not feeling the pressure to get to
11:14
Speaker 1: get caught up in gangs when they was younger. None
11:16
Speaker 1: of that. They just y'all just did you up? No,
11:18
Speaker 1: I mean, we was around it. I was surrounded by
11:20
Speaker 1: all that stuff, you know, all this stuff these rappers
11:22
Speaker 1: talk about. I grew up around it. I walked home
11:25
Speaker 1: from school hoping I didn't have to deal with it,
11:27
Speaker 1: you know what I'm ring Like, So I just I
11:29
Speaker 1: just avoided it. So I'm avoided auto call together. But
11:31
Speaker 1: I was influenced. You besides, Kanye because you mentioned Kanye.
11:34
Speaker 1: What else besides Ky Besides Kanye, just growing up in
11:37
Speaker 1: the city, you know, just trying to find a way,
11:39
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, to make something about yourself,
11:41
Speaker 1: you know, and my ambitious inspirement, you know. But another
11:45
Speaker 1: you know, just movies and you know this, other artists
11:49
Speaker 1: just watching the culture of the game, just seeing people
11:51
Speaker 1: do things out are dope. You know what I'm saying.
11:53
Speaker 1: That that inspires me. You know, like, oh, that's dope. Like,
11:55
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta keep pushing the culture. We gotta
11:57
Speaker 1: keep being dope, you know what I'm saying. Like see
12:00
Speaker 1: in my homies, like Kendrick Glamar come out with a
12:02
Speaker 1: platinum album, you know, and that that inspired me because
12:04
Speaker 1: I saw him when he was just dropping the first
12:07
Speaker 1: EP and when he changed his name to Kendrick Gleamar.
12:09
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like it's all before the
