- 1:01SPEAKER_03: Uh not much.
- 1:02SPEAKER_03: Just started this new job.
- 1:03SPEAKER_03: Uh I've been making a lot of music, keeping it on the backtrack.
- 1:06SPEAKER_03: Just deciding how I want to like structure it, how I want to put it out.
- 1:10SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 1:11SPEAKER_03: Like what song first, what song last.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: On an album?
- 1:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like I'm working towards the album, but I already have two out, so like I really want to drop some singles before I start dropping like songs from the album.
- 1:22SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: What why why is that?
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: That's that's that's interesting to me.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: Because uh the last guest we had was saying like it would be her first album, and she's been putting out singles, and she wanted to make sure that the album was was fire, you know what I mean?
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: Because it's her first album.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so is there is there like a tactic that you use, like, oh I gotta do singles first before I do album?
- 1:41SPEAKER_03: Nah, like when I first started off, I was like, I just want album out, album out because that's how I started listening to music.
- 1:46SPEAKER_03: Like, I just like found out about people's albums, and I was like, Oh, I'm gonna go listen to those.
- 1:49SPEAKER_03: So I thought that would work, but it it got me a little attraction, but now I just want to like put singles up and like show like my versatile my versatility through like singles before I drop a whole album with mixed sounds, you know what I mean?
- 2:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right on.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was listening to some of your songs.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh man, this dude got different words, like different subject matter, like yeah, all intertwined.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh shoot.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: So do you aim for that whenever you're writing?
- 2:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah, honestly, like I don't want to keep a three-minute song under the same topic and like just bore out the listeners, so like I like to switch it up and like throw them off.
- 2:22SPEAKER_03: Right on because it makes him want to go back and listen to it more.
- 2:24SPEAKER_03: Like, oh what was he even talking about?
- 2:26SPEAKER_03: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's cool.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I find myself doing that when I'm listening back to older stuff, like, oh yeah, I didn't know that was there.
- 2:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: To begin with, yeah, yeah.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: That's cool, man.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: It's cool how you think and think in terms of that when you're creating.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Do you write your own music?
- 2:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I write my own music.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Oh, dude, everybody does.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like it's almost like everybody that rhymes.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: I wanna I want to make my own beats too, but honestly, I've just been working off of a King Rich's beats recently, so like he just put me on a bunch of beats that he had back to stock.
- 2:52SPEAKER_03: So you said King Rich?
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, King Rich 28.
- 2:54SPEAKER_03: Okay, he's been in Corpus for a while.

- 3:32SPEAKER_03: Because he really doesn't even do music for like the money, you know what I mean?
- 3:36SPEAKER_03: So he has his own job, his own career, like everything's going good for him.

- 7:04SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't want to just be for myself with the music because like I find it more interesting when you have like more people working around you and you're working as a team and like a big old group, right?
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's cool, man.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: Like uh like a network, like a community.

- 10:46SPEAKER_03: Like, wow, it was wild.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: As far oh oh, oh, as uh the scene out there in this.
- 10:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like yeah, everybody in Corpus, they're just sitting down like at a table because it was at the Nelly's Urban Uh Urban Bar or whatever, and everybody was just sitting down eating food, drinking, and I was like, Yeah, bro.

- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Uh Anthony Diaz out then Facebook says, I need to set up my Instagram, uh, my Instagram game.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, bro, for sure.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't I rarely hit people up on Facebook or even well, there's some people I hit up on TikTok which are not on Insta, they're more on TikTok and Instagram.
- 11:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: So I guess it's the platform that the that the people that are on, and especially like your your audience.
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: Do you do you find that your audience is mostly on Instagram or yeah, my my audience is mostly on like uh Instagram for sure, I'll say.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 11:31SPEAKER_03: Because I'm not really consistent on TikTok, which I should be, because that's a good way to like capitalize.
- 11:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, you don't know who who's well, like who's where.
- 11:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for uh and TikTok is it seems like it's more it's less uh regulated as far as like because with Instagram it seems like you put a post and and like they limit your post.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: Okay, we can only show to this many people because they want you to buy ads, yeah.
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: They want you to buy ads so you can push it out to more people.
- 11:55SPEAKER_03: Most of my support, and like all my um like true like listeners that consistently listen to my music, they're from Austin.

- 13:03SPEAKER_00: You need to have some of them on your team, yeah, exactly.
- 13:05SPEAKER_00: So they can help you.
- 13:06SPEAKER_03: I think that's why riding high put me on there, because I had some good, like the newer at the newer generation, the newer generation, bro.
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's I guess it's like any generation, you got the the good ones, you got the bad ones.
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: You gotta figure out who's who.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: Uh and you gotta keep keep constantly growing.
- 13:25SPEAKER_00: Uh, because dude, if you forget, if if you lose technology in your business, like if you lose track of it, your business is gonna go because it's gonna go under, bro.
- 13:33SPEAKER_03: Because stay local.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:35SPEAKER_03: Like my brother, he owns a business out there in Arkansas, and like he doesn't do any um any big like promotions about it.
- 13:42SPEAKER_03: Like, he doesn't push it to any like of the outside cities.
- 13:46SPEAKER_03: So he just gets like his locals to mess with them and go uh get their cars tinted because he uh tents Windows for a living.
- 13:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 13:53SPEAKER_03: And he has like a couple of a couple contracts with uh dealerships.
- 13:57SPEAKER_03: So then he'll like uh tent their cars for like a certain amount of money a month, and um the rest are just like locals that are in the area.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
- 14:07SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but that that just goes to show like if he were to like do a mobile service, then he'll probably like get a lot more people around the certain areas and that he could just go to and actually like just take it to the next level if he went in and did it on like promotion with uh Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.
- 14:28SPEAKER_03: Like I tried to tell him to do that, and I was like, I could I could basically run everything, edit your videos and post them for you.
- 14:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and he was like, nah, man, it's okay.
- 14:36SPEAKER_03: I like I got I got a good groove.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: I don't want to get overwhelmed.
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, as I had another client too who was on the yellow pages, and uh Maya and I were talking about that.
- 14:46SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, he's gotta be on Facebook and TikTok right now, you know what I mean?
- 14:49SPEAKER_00: Because the yellow page, you know what the yellow pages is?
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: No, I barely know.
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: That was like the old crags of the thing.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: Man, bro, the the the phone book.
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: You open it up, there are actual pages with actual numbers on the page.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 15:06SPEAKER_03: Oh gosh, that's good.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm how you make me feel old right now, bro.
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: My mom used to have one of those.
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 15:14SPEAKER_03: That's how we used to order pizza and everything.
- 15:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: We got the coupon.
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: Some of them used to have the coupon on the deck.
- 15:22SPEAKER_03: That's funny.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: How uh Anthony Diaz says, How old do I feel now?
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: Don't know what the yellow pages are.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: Well, I even too, like to run all those things, it takes a lot of work.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: We were talking about that earlier, right?
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like it takes a lot of work, and you're not even monetized on it.
- 15:38SPEAKER_00: It sucks, dude.
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: Ah man, I wish anyway, you just gotta you gotta work at it to get it out there, yeah.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: To get to get your name out there, which is what you're trying to do with your music, right?
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: So you're sure you're basically promoting your own your own stuff.
- 15:52SPEAKER_00: And I saw that you had a lot of songs on Spotify, yeah.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: Which to get it on there, you use like what distro kid or yeah, distro kid.
- 15:59SPEAKER_00: Okay, and so what does that mean?
- 16:00SPEAKER_00: You own the rights to your own music, or uh it depends.
- 16:04SPEAKER_03: If you own the beats, then you own the rights, yeah.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: Okay, so so you're basically your own record company.
- 16:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah, basically.
- 16:11SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 16:11SPEAKER_00: Wait, which which do they still make records?
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: How do you listen to music now?
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: You listen to it on Spotify or SoundCloud?
- 16:18SPEAKER_03: Spotify, uh, YouTube music, yeah, Apple Music, basically like SoundCloud, little stuff like that.
- 16:24SPEAKER_03: Like nobody really has CD players in the car anymore.
- 16:27SPEAKER_03: And that's because I was looking at new cars and I seen the I was about to get the Subaru and it had a CD player, and I was like, Man, I really want that.
- 16:33SPEAKER_03: I ain't gonna lie.
- 16:36SPEAKER_03: It's rare to see CD players in the car.
- 16:40SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 16:41SPEAKER_03: I was about to go make all my albums and CDs and just listen to myself.
- 16:44SPEAKER_03: Right all right.
- 16:45SPEAKER_00: Uh, do you know about the Drake Kendrick beef and how you feel about it?
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: I uh I'm with Kendrick on that one.
- 16:51SPEAKER_03: What's going on there?
- 16:52SPEAKER_03: Uh basically, like, so in first person shooter, with the song with uh J.
- 16:58SPEAKER_03: Cole and Drake, uh J.
- 17:00SPEAKER_03: Cole said, like, he he called out, or he basically said his name, Drake, and uh Kendrick Lamar's name, all in like the one verse.
- 17:09SPEAKER_03: And he said, uh, it feels like we're the big three, but right now I feel like Muhammad Ali.
- 17:14SPEAKER_03: Oh and so like basically uh he went off that and took it as an insult.
- 17:19SPEAKER_03: Like, how you're not gonna put me in the big three with y'all?
- 17:21SPEAKER_03: Like, it's just me and like so he's crying.
- 17:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's basically crying.
- 17:27SPEAKER_03: But I think another thing is that like his record label was holding him back and he couldn't drop for like couldn't drop an album consistently, so it's like a lot of built-up frustration because everybody's out there moving freely in the game, like dropping consistently, and they like ducked him off to the side.
- 17:43SPEAKER_03: So I think now that he's record free, record label free, he just wants to come in the game solo and just like basically say, I'm still here, you know what I mean?
- 17:51SPEAKER_03: Like keep his name relevant.
- 17:52SPEAKER_03: Like that's what he's doing.
- 17:53SPEAKER_03: So Cole's doing that, who's doing that?
- 17:55SPEAKER_03: Uh Kendrick.
- 17:56SPEAKER_03: Kendrick is doing that.
- 17:57SPEAKER_03: So you're on his side?
- 17:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm on his side.
- 17:59SPEAKER_03: I like the bars.
- 18:00SPEAKER_03: I like uh I like his old his old uh old record label called TDE.
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: They're all fired at me.
- 18:05SPEAKER_03: Like, that's who I grew up listening to.
- 18:07SPEAKER_00: So that's so he's one of your main, one of your influent main influences?
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: Oh, nice.
- 18:11SPEAKER_03: Him and Mac Miller.
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: Mac Miller?
- 18:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, all right.
- 18:14SPEAKER_03: I like J.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: Cole a lot, but he's on uh Drake's side.
- 18:17SPEAKER_03: I don't I can't.
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: He's on the Drake side.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: Which side are you on?
- 18:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's what it is.
- 18:25SPEAKER_03: You haven't seen all the memes?
- 18:26SPEAKER_03: Like uh they put like the Marvel versus DC and they put all like everybody who's going with Kendrick and everybody who's going with Drake on the superhero's faces.
- 18:38SPEAKER_03: It's pretty buddy.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: So so in the mentioning all these names, you gotta mention Eminem, right?
- 18:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right?
- 18:45SPEAKER_03: You have to pretty much, yeah.
- 18:47SPEAKER_03: He's the one who started it all.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: It's almost like we're avoiding it, but we have to say it.
- 18:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's like just out at the mix.
- 18:52SPEAKER_03: He's like, I ain't with nothing.
- 18:56SPEAKER_03: Basically, I haven't seen him say nothing.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Uh so I seen him, I seen him in the picture at the the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the other three dudes, uh Snoop, Dre, and uh 50 Cent.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, and then I and then I seen him on another post on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
- 19:22SPEAKER_03: Of him and Dre, uh when Dre got his like star on the walkway, yeah.
- 19:26SPEAKER_03: He was like, he looked a little upset.
- 19:27SPEAKER_03: Like he looked like a little satire.
- 19:31SPEAKER_03: He's just like sitting there like this, yeah, like a mugshot for him.
- 19:37SPEAKER_03: Wow, point blank right there.
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for real.
- 19:39SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you don't get the respect that he deserves, though.
- 19:42SPEAKER_03: That's how I feel.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dude.
- 19:44SPEAKER_00: He's he was real popular, like when I first started listening to him, which he was the Marshall Mathers, I think that was a regular album, the original album.

- 24:15SPEAKER_00: Is that like one of the best ones for recording, do you think?
- 24:18SPEAKER_00: Or is that like an ongoing battle?
- 24:19SPEAKER_03: It was one of the most like um easy, easy to accept like access, you know what I mean?
- 24:25SPEAKER_03: Like you could take it on the go, you can um take it to a hotel if you're out doing a show somewhere.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but yeah, I gotcha.
- 24:32SPEAKER_03: Anything like that.

- 24:50SPEAKER_00: Did you were you complain were you contemplating on going to uh college afterward or trade school afterwards?
- 24:55SPEAKER_03: Honestly, no, because I didn't finish high school, so like school really was never like for me.
- 24:59SPEAKER_03: So um, I really had no plans, so I was like, all right, I'm gonna try this music thing out.
- 25:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and then I just kept on getting frustrated working in the kitchen.
- 25:09SPEAKER_03: So then I got sober, I stopped smoking weed.
- 25:11SPEAKER_03: Oh I was like, I'm gonna just go in the refineries, see if I can make a career out of that, like a backup plan, you know what I mean?
- 25:16SPEAKER_03: Because my dad did real good off it.
- 25:18SPEAKER_03: Like my stepdad, he um he's the one that basically motivated me to get in the refinery.
- 25:22SPEAKER_03: He's like, he's like, you gotta stop playing and come work with me, do a real good job.
- 25:26SPEAKER_03: I was like, all right, stop working at fans.

- 25:51SPEAKER_03: Oh wow.
- 25:51SPEAKER_03: So like my mom really didn't like him and didn't want me around him like that.
- 25:54SPEAKER_00: So damn.
- 25:55SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 25:56SPEAKER_03: But I see why.
- 25:57SPEAKER_03: Like he's a mess up.
- 25:59SPEAKER_03: But my uh stepdaddy's been there for me since I was five years old and just like looked after me like I was his own.
- 26:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:04SPEAKER_00: Are they still together?

- 26:34SPEAKER_03: It's I got one uh one nephew and one niece.
- 26:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, because like a lot of the kids really didn't have kids like that.

- 30:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, mainly when I'm doing like radio stuff and like shows and stuff, like but like not daily, they want to just like send me a video hard listening to my music.
- 31:03SPEAKER_03: My music's really not their style.
- 31:05SPEAKER_03: They like country, they like uh rock.
- 31:07SPEAKER_03: So were you the only one that liked that the like this type of music?
- 31:12SPEAKER_03: Uh kinda, but like I was like, yeah, the main one who was like dedicated towards it and like always invested into it.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: How did you wow, that's interesting.
- 31:21SPEAKER_00: How did you start first start listening to it?
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: Like, did somebody say, hey, check this out?
- 31:26SPEAKER_03: Or like I think because my cousin Cameron, he um he used to always have the Lil Wayne CDs in his car, and he was always older than me.
- 31:33SPEAKER_03: So like when he was 16, I was like maybe uh eight, nine.
- 31:37SPEAKER_03: And like he used to always put on Lil Wayne every time we're in his car, and I just liked it.
- 31:41SPEAKER_03: Wow, crazy.
- 31:42SPEAKER_03: I was uh so I went to my mom and I was like, Can you give me uh Lil Wayne CDs?
- 31:46SPEAKER_03: Can you give me uh 50 cents CDs?
- 31:49SPEAKER_03: Like all these little different art.
- 31:50SPEAKER_03: She would get them for you, like she would get them.
- 31:52SPEAKER_03: I don't care.
- 31:53SPEAKER_03: She likes music too, so she's like she's a big help with my music because when I when I'm like uh second guessing a song, I could play it around her.
- 32:02SPEAKER_03: I'm like, hey mom, let me know what you think about this.
- 32:04SPEAKER_03: You've been listening to music for a while.
- 32:06SPEAKER_03: And she'll be honest, sometimes she'll be like, nah, I don't like that one.
- 32:10SPEAKER_03: But a lot of times she'd be like, that's real good.
- 32:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she just tells me to keep keep going, keep striving for different sounds, and like she really wants to hear me do rock.
- 32:19SPEAKER_03: She really wants to hear me do uh con three.
- 32:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so that's cool.
- 32:23SPEAKER_03: That's basically what I'm waiting for.
- 32:24SPEAKER_03: Like, just getting that confidence to actually sing or like do rock and expand out the genre.
- 32:30SPEAKER_00: Wow, cool.
- 32:31SPEAKER_00: That's pretty cool, man.
- 32:32SPEAKER_03: Appreciate it.
- 32:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, hell yeah.
- 32:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, different, different genres instead of that.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like the heavy stuff, man, to be honest.
- 32:38SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that's that's dope.
- 32:39SPEAKER_00: So you said your song wasn't basic, it wasn't ready.
- 32:42SPEAKER_00: Y'all would say it wasn't ready.
- 32:43SPEAKER_00: What do you mean by that?
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: Like, the lyrics weren't ready.
- 32:46SPEAKER_03: Like uh, like the first the first two verses for both of us, we liked them a lot, but like coming towards the end of the song, we want to close it out to where like it makes you like kind of like a handcliff, you know what I mean?
- 32:59SPEAKER_03: Okay, I want to listen to that again, I want to listen to that again, but like it's kind of like just a strategic move that we're trying to make and like just make ourselves like look more professional and like look like we have um basically that one's gonna be introduced to the neck next up and coming album called Dedicated.
- 33:17SPEAKER_03: Because my first my first album was uh Everyone's Equal, my second one was uh motivated, and then this one we want to put dedicated, yeah, just like showing that we're dedicated.
- 33:25SPEAKER_00: So you feel like do you feel do you feel like the scene or even people don't take y'all seriously?
- 33:30SPEAKER_03: When we first came out, definitely, but like now like we're getting a lot more respect, and then like all these other groups are just hitting us up, telling us keep going, like offering us shows like Almighty Public Zoo.
- 33:44SPEAKER_03: And um Balpo put us on the the festival, and he's like getting us all these different connections, and people want me to do their shows out there in Austin.
- 33:53SPEAKER_03: People want me to do shows in Houston for them, like promoters for free like for free.
- 33:58SPEAKER_03: But I just don't have the time right now, so it's just all about working around my schedule and getting everything done.
- 34:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's that's tough.
- 34:06SPEAKER_00: See the all the Almighty Public Zoo, are they like a group?
- 34:09SPEAKER_00: I've seen them, I've seen them around like on Instagram and stuff, but I is it like a group?
- 34:13SPEAKER_03: Is that what they're yeah, it's a it's a older group.
- 34:16SPEAKER_03: They've been around since like when I was born, honestly.
- 34:19SPEAKER_00: Oh shoot, okay.
- 34:20SPEAKER_03: They've been doing music since like 2002, 2001, something like that.
- 34:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so they've been around for a while.
- 34:27SPEAKER_03: They have like a lot of producers under their uh group, they have a lot of videographers, rappers, all different types of stuff.
- 34:33SPEAKER_00: Wow, man.
- 34:34SPEAKER_00: It's like a community, like a community.
- 34:36SPEAKER_03: They did a battle rap like in December for a thousand dollars and freak man one or something like that.
- 34:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, freak man one.
- 34:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah, wow, but it went pretty crazy.
- 34:46SPEAKER_03: Like they got the whole city out there, it was real packed.
- 34:49SPEAKER_03: Everybody was like, it was like eight mile type of eyes, you know what I mean?
- 34:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's cool, man.
- 34:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was wild.
- 34:54SPEAKER_03: They're bringing they're bringing back the energy in uh corpus for sure.
- 34:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, when it comes to music and rap.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: So is do you do you think it's like that for a reason like in Corpus?
- 35:04SPEAKER_00: Like, because it seems like you're trying you're trying to make it grow, but then it's like it doesn't want to.
- 35:10SPEAKER_00: And I think it's like that for every scene, not just the raptor.
- 35:12SPEAKER_03: I feel like the biggest problem with the corpus rap scene is that everybody wants to be on top, and everybody wants to be like the number one and the most looked at, and like they don't really like the network networking like that, you know what I mean?
- 35:24SPEAKER_03: So they don't like uh doing features, they don't like setting up shows all together.
- 35:30SPEAKER_03: And if it does and it's like bias and it's like their homeboys that they grew up with, you know what I mean?
- 35:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, oh turn down his mic here or whatever, you know, some stupid like yeah, exactly.
- 35:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's how yeah, that's yeah, that's how man, that's messed up, dude.
- 35:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that sucks.
- 35:46SPEAKER_00: It's like, do you get do most of these people uh uh artists or whatever, do they get paid in doing all this stuff?
- 35:52SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 35:52SPEAKER_00: Like, is there a reason they would want to be like that?
- 35:55SPEAKER_00: Maybe because they would lose money or like you know what I'm saying?
- 35:58SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't think they'll lose money, but I think it's about like oh I I don't want um I don't want to make it look like this person's doing better than me.
- 36:06SPEAKER_03: Oh you know what I mean?
- 36:07SPEAKER_03: Like it's like that's how I see it.
- 36:09SPEAKER_03: That's petty, yeah, exactly.
- 36:10SPEAKER_03: It's just petty.
- 36:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:13SPEAKER_03: I like working with everybody, like even if you have like no followers, you don't have no social media, and but I like your music, I'm still gonna put you on my song, you know what I mean?
- 36:21SPEAKER_00: How do you feel your how do you find yourself like dealing with people that are that are like that, or like say haters or even like that where they're petty?
- 36:30SPEAKER_03: I just keep them away the away from the circle.
- 36:32SPEAKER_03: I just keep them away from like my scene, you know what I mean?
- 36:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:37SPEAKER_03: But uh because honestly, I dealt with that uh with a couple people from Almighty Public Zoo.
- 36:43SPEAKER_03: Like Freak uh Freak Man put me in connects with uh one of the co-owners from there, and his name is JR.
- 36:51SPEAKER_03: He owns that Sweet Bay Easy Eats.
- 36:53SPEAKER_03: And uh seen him around.
- 36:56SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he was trying to get me in the on the show like a while back because they were setting this up like around January.
- 37:02SPEAKER_03: So they're like putting it in the works, talking about it.
- 37:05SPEAKER_03: He was like, Man, I really want you and your crew to come and get on the show with me.
- 37:09SPEAKER_03: And then there's like two older artists from Corpus, yeah, and they were just like, they ain't been doing enough, they ain't been doing this, ain't doing that.
- 37:15SPEAKER_03: Oh, come on, and then yeah, so like uh that started problems with JR in the group, so he split up from them for a while, yeah, and then like they weren't gonna put me on, and then they ended up having nobody else, I guess.
- 37:28SPEAKER_03: So they just like asked me, and I was like, all right, I guess I'll do it.
- 37:31SPEAKER_03: But just drama, bro.
- 37:32SPEAKER_03: That's what, yeah, exactly.
- 37:34SPEAKER_03: It's just a bunch of drama.
- 37:35SPEAKER_03: That I just stay away from it.

- 37:49SPEAKER_03: He has like uh Chinese food, he has like burritos, like it's just American food, you know what I mean?
- 37:55SPEAKER_03: He has a whole bunch of different things.
- 37:56SPEAKER_00: A little bit of everything, man.
- 37:58SPEAKER_03: He has these dumplings with uh the sweet sauce.
- 38:00SPEAKER_03: It's crazy.
- 38:01SPEAKER_03: I ain't even gonna lie.
- 38:02SPEAKER_00: What did he post up at?
- 38:04SPEAKER_03: Um, what's this one of these uh bars down here, like right down the street.

- 43:45SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah, it's good to see everybody working within the city, yeah, and like trying to go somewhere with it, you know what I mean?
- 43:50SPEAKER_00: Do some yeah, and I always make it a point to to um shout out the Riding High podcast because I I don't want I mean I don't want it to seem like we're Competing or anything like that.
- 44:01SPEAKER_00: No, yeah, definitely not.
- 44:02SPEAKER_00: Nah, definitely not.
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: And and I like that.
- 44:04SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know we have differences and whatever, but at the same time, it's like, dude, like there's no reason to be uh petty or like you know, yeah, facts.
- 44:14SPEAKER_00: No reason to be like that.
- 44:15SPEAKER_00: So even just having like uh and even having like uh DJ King on and the people from the Ryan High Network uh is i I think it's good.
- 44:23SPEAKER_00: Shout out to other podcasts too, because he's another podcast.
- 44:26SPEAKER_00: And there's several other guys like Anthony Diaz, who's on the Facebook chat, he's got his own podcast.

- 44:38SPEAKER_00: That's dope.
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like uh the the Snelly Gaster.
- 44:41SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking about that one.
- 44:42SPEAKER_00: He lives here in Corpus?
- 44:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he lives here in Corpus.
- 44:44SPEAKER_00: Okay, he's uh he's a vet he's a veteran uh from the Marines.

- 44:50SPEAKER_00: Fifty States of Terror.
- 44:51SPEAKER_03: Fifty States of Terror.
- 44:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's he's an author also, so he writes, and he started another podcast where he reads uh like uh you know clips from his book or whatever he's writing and stuff like that.
- 45:02SPEAKER_00: So that's hard, yeah.
- 45:03SPEAKER_00: I know like because he writes, you know what I mean.
- 45:05SPEAKER_00: That there's another network right there, like you're a writer, he's a writer, you know, whatever.
- 45:09SPEAKER_00: You can know, and I even I even put him on the the not put him on, but I mentioned him to Drupy last time Drupe was here.
- 45:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I you know how he's in the conspiracies and all that.
- 45:20SPEAKER_00: Are you into that type of stuff?
- 45:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah, honestly, I am.
- 45:24SPEAKER_00: It's pretty interesting.
- 45:25SPEAKER_03: Like so the what do you think about the pyramids?
- 45:28SPEAKER_03: Uh I can't even answer that.
- 45:30SPEAKER_03: I know that the I know that the pyramids is is a speed of light, though, like the coordinates.
- 45:34SPEAKER_03: So that's pretty wild as well.
- 45:35SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't think humans built that.
- 45:37SPEAKER_03: It probably had to be aliens or something.
- 45:41SPEAKER_00: Groupie was saying, like, uh, nobody questions how the the pyramids in Mexico were built.
- 45:45SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, that's facts.
- 45:47SPEAKER_00: Oh no cap.
- 45:50SPEAKER_03: Or even like the uh ancient um China statues, like uh like before Christ and like 500 BC.
- 45:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like they they're freaking huge, like the twin the twin tower size, like it's insane.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: What do you think about that boat wrecking into that that uh bridge?
- 46:07SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 46:07SPEAKER_03: I've seen conspiracies on that too, that uh it was planned and that the they have bombs on it or something that like collapsed it all the way or something like that, but I don't know.
- 46:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I saw somebody showing like it looked like the boat uh turned into it, honestly, if you ask me, but but they say even if the even if the engine fails on the boat, then you can still steer and you can still like turret on it.
- 46:30SPEAKER_03: So it's like basically not like a car, like where if your engine shuts off, then your steering wheel's gonna lock up.
- 46:35SPEAKER_03: Like it's not like that, you know what I mean?
- 46:37SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: That makes sense.
- 46:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I it I it didn't even look like that boat could fit under that bridge.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know if you really near it, yeah.
- 46:45SPEAKER_03: It's weird.
- 46:46SPEAKER_03: That's why they're building this new bridge in Corbis because um supposedly they're they had like a couple business boats that wanted to come through here, but it wasn't big enough.
- 46:55SPEAKER_03: The bridge wasn't big enough, so that's why they're building the new one.
- 46:58SPEAKER_00: You know when they're gonna finish?
- 47:00SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm saying.
- 47:01SPEAKER_03: Bro, they started that when I was like uh sophomore in high school, but it's crazy.
- 47:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, man.
- 47:10SPEAKER_03: I heard they I heard they stopped it for a while because they caught the pillar sinking or something like that.
- 47:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, something like that.
- 47:16SPEAKER_00: Uh some kind of inspection with DOT or something like that.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah, crazy, man.
- 47:20SPEAKER_00: I just hope it doesn't fall down whenever they finish it.
- 47:23SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go to the ferry way, yeah.
- 47:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man.
- 47:28SPEAKER_00: If we if nothing else to share, uh if I have anything else to share, man, we'll wrap it up.

- 48:00SPEAKER_00: Like a tag, like a tag that's available everywhere.
