7:22
Speaker 2: then they branch off, you know what I'm saying. So
7:24
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be a lane and not a wave.
7:26
Speaker 2: What made you want to become an artist? My mom
7:30
Speaker 2: a gospel singer. My dad rap in the day before
7:32
Speaker 2: he got locked up. So my mom had like a
7:34
Speaker 2: basketball scholarship, and then my dad had a football scholarship.
7:38
Speaker 2: So my senior year in high school, I could have
7:40
Speaker 2: played football, basketball in college somewhere, but I chose music
7:45
Speaker 2: again I was young, and then you turned down the scholarship,
7:48
Speaker 2: uh scholarship for football, but more like financial aid D
7:55
Speaker 2: two basketball. But what I'm saying is like the high
7:59
Speaker 2: school I went to, I thought it was going to

Speaker 2: be like that in college. I didn't know, Like the
8:03
Speaker 2: best didn't play at my high school. The the cafeteria
8:07

8:15
Speaker 2: she you know.
8:16
Speaker 1: And then it Dayton.
8:18
Speaker 2: No, I'm not no Dayton, hard body and sports, you
8:23
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But I'm saying, like certain schools
8:25
Speaker 2: you go to politics. You know what I mean, because
8:27
Speaker 2: my mom took me out the hood, put me in
8:29
Speaker 2: an all white school for a couple of years. So
8:31
Speaker 2: so you're like, why is he Yeah, why is he

8:53
Speaker 2: I don't even like school anyways, and then I gotta
8:56
Speaker 2: sit back and hope one you know what I mean.
8:58

9:00
Speaker 1: because the industry politics is way crazier.
9:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, I disagree.
9:05
Speaker 2: It depends on what type of music, what type of
9:07
Speaker 2: message you put out, because can't nobody tell me when

Speaker 2: in certain areas.
11:08
Speaker 3: Hey, so love Lebron.
11:10
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think that all the stuff
11:12
Speaker 2: that you had to deal with effects and is the
11:15
Speaker 2: reason why you are so articulate with your music?
11:19
Speaker 3: Bro?
11:19
Speaker 2: I watch my pastor get murdered at eight years old
11:21
Speaker 2: in church after Bible class.
11:23
Speaker 3: That's had eight.
11:24
Speaker 2: I watched two of my friends get murdered in front
11:26
Speaker 2: of me before high school. I'm talking blood on my shoes.
11:28
Speaker 2: You'll see it in in a short film. I kind
11:31
Speaker 2: of try to portray it how it happened. So a
11:34
Speaker 2: nigga really grew up, like part of my brain grew
11:40
Speaker 2: up fast. Like man, you play video games, you see
11:43
Speaker 2: guns kill people, but yes, cool, or you watch it
11:45
Speaker 2: on TV. But when that shit happened in front of
11:47
Speaker 2: you too many times, you know what I'm saying, it
11:52
Speaker 2: it hits you different. So you like you know, you
11:55
Speaker 2: look at life different, you move different, You don't go certain,
11:58
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
11:58
Speaker 3: Like you don't play you ple playing a fire, You're
12:00
Speaker 3: gonna get burnt.
12:01
Speaker 2: That's why when I really be meeting some of these artists,
12:03
Speaker 2: they be talking to shit on their records.
12:05
Speaker 3: Like, Bro, you ain't really been through no shit.
12:07
Speaker 2: You've probably been in a situation that had your adrenaline going,
12:11
Speaker 2: but you ain't really being this close, you know what
12:14
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like, you ain't been this close enough to
12:17
Speaker 2: be like, we do this shit to get away from
12:19
Speaker 2: this shit, not to stay in it.
12:21
Speaker 3: You feel me?
12:22
Speaker 1: So, how are you mentally? How do you deal with
12:25
Speaker 1: living every day?
12:26
Speaker 2: Shit?
12:27
Speaker 3: Nigga?
12:27
Speaker 2: I probably need therapy. The fourth song on the project
12:30
Speaker 2: called mental health. But at the end of the day,
12:32
Speaker 2: like that shit really affect your sleep at night, you know.
12:35
Speaker 3: Like PTSD. I ain't gonna lie.
12:38
Speaker 2: I ain't know what PTSD was my whole life until
12:41
Speaker 2: it became a thing. It's just something that I've been
12:44
Speaker 2: dealing with. So if that's what it is, that's what
12:47
Speaker 2: it is.
12:47
Speaker 3: Is the music your therapy?
12:49
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, okay, the response, the response from the music
12:53
Speaker 2: is my therapy.
12:55
Speaker 1: But as far as getting a professional to help you
12:57
Speaker 1: and guide you through you know, your or your thoughts
13:01
Speaker 1: and the things that you made, you know, with all
13:04
Speaker 1: the things that you've been through, are you open to
13:07
Speaker 1: seeking that type of help.
13:11
Speaker 2: I know therapy can help me, it's just it's just
13:15
Speaker 2: hard for me in my mind. I'm gonna try it
13:19
Speaker 2: one day, please do. But it's hard for me in
13:21
Speaker 2: my mind to pay somebody that don't understand all the
13:27
Speaker 2: shit I've been through. Powert on top because after making
13:30
Speaker 2: it out of Ohio, I had to live out of
13:33
Speaker 2: my car when it hit rock bottom a couple of times,
13:35
Speaker 2: living in a room with no windows. So it's like
13:38
Speaker 2: my grandma was murdered while I was living out of
13:39
Speaker 2: my car. I didn't get to make that funeral. So
13:43
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's like it's a
13:45
Speaker 2: lot of shit piled up, and it's like, I don't know.
13:50
Speaker 3: It's for me. It's hard to.
13:53
Speaker 2: Just talk to somebody and really believe that they gonna
13:56
Speaker 2: understand what I'm going through when they ain't been through
13:59
Speaker 2: nothing of this shit that I've been through or I
14:01
Speaker 2: had to deal with.
14:02
Speaker 1: You feel me, I think you'd be surprised if you
14:05
Speaker 1: just like you're open to it and the followed show
14:08
Speaker 1: with it, and just if it doesn't work with the
14:10
Speaker 1: first one, there's many others, and just finding the one
14:13
Speaker 1: that is best fitting for you. I just think that
14:16
Speaker 1: the idea that you're open to it is a step.
14:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a step. Yeah, and yeah, go get therapy.

19:55
Speaker 2: thought therapy was like for crazy folks, people you know,
19:59
Speaker 2: ain't don't got it all. But I would like to just
20:03
Speaker 2: share with you that therapy gave me clarity on a
20:06
Speaker 2: lot of shit that I was dealing with. It gave
20:08
Speaker 2: me clarity, and like my past relationships, I realized that
20:12
Speaker 2: it wasn't them, it was me, and I was immature,
20:15
Speaker 2: and you know, I wasn't ready for a commitment.
20:18
Speaker 3: And trauma type shit. Yeah, it was like trauma.
20:20
Speaker 2: Like I never saw a committed relationship growing up, so
20:23
Speaker 2: like I was just reacting what I was, just acting
20:27
Speaker 2: what I saw and what I thought was normal to me,
20:29
Speaker 2: which wasn't to be faithful, so I really But it
20:33
Speaker 2: wasn't until I spoke to somebody professionally to help me
20:35
Speaker 2: unpack that shit that I realized, oh okay, and I
20:38
Speaker 2: wasn't even ready because I was doing all this at
20:40
Speaker 2: a young age and I'm over here like making I'm
20:43
Speaker 2: making babies, and now I'm over here like with baby,
20:46
Speaker 2: multiple baby mamas, and I'm just realizing, oh as I'm
20:50
Speaker 2: as someone's helping me unpack this. This could have all
20:53
Speaker 2: been prevented had I would have had some clarity in
20:56
Speaker 2: my life. And I couldn't blame my dad because he's
20:59
Speaker 2: a product of his environment. I couldn't really blame my mom.
21:01
Speaker 2: You know, these are my parents are from the island,
21:04
Speaker 2: so uh, success to them, And I close it out
21:07
Speaker 2: by saying, success to them was a little different than
21:09
Speaker 2: success to me, Like my dad having a job with
21:12
Speaker 2: health benefits was success me. I wanted to follow my dreams.
21:16
Speaker 2: But speaking to a therapist and a counselor helped me
21:20
Speaker 2: navigate through all that shit, especially like I never really
21:23
Speaker 2: my mom really really was with my mom like she
21:26
Speaker 2: was like she worked a whole bunch of times. So
21:28
Speaker 2: I was raised by my grandma a lot, so I
21:30
Speaker 2: kind of gravitated more to my grandma. So like me
21:32
Speaker 2: and my mom was like friends, you know what I'm saying. So,
21:34
Speaker 2: but I needed someone to help me understand why me
21:36
Speaker 2: and her had this type of relationship that we had
21:39
Speaker 2: and why I gravitated to my grandma the way I did.
21:41
Speaker 3: So it was a whole thing.
21:43
Speaker 2: And I only wanted to share that with you because
21:45
Speaker 2: I didn't think that I had nothing. You know, we
21:47
Speaker 2: always just think, yeah, we all right, we're good, but
21:49
Speaker 2: sometimes were not good, that's the fact.
21:51
Speaker 3: And we have to say I'm not good a lot
