- 1:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying and not the feathers,
- 1:55Speaker 2: you know, but yeah, that's pretty much it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:59Speaker 3: And then you know what's crazy. You were kind of
- 2:00Speaker 3: like also on the podcast before with OT.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Yeah. Correct, the first time OT ever came up here
- 2:05Speaker 1: on Yeah, yeah, I was chilling right here.
- 2:08Speaker 3: How did you guys think, because you're also one of
- 2:09Speaker 3: the first guys to like book them. Yeah, I got
- 2:12Speaker 3: here like on a headlining show.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah that was I. It was like out I
- 2:17Speaker 2: was in Mountclair.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like the most random tours, like because
- 2:21Speaker 3: he had his tour that the agent set up and
- 2:22Speaker 3: then he had your show.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to my boy.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Nah.
- 2:27Speaker 2: So with him, I had I got a feature with him,
- 2:30Speaker 2: and we booked him for a feature. And I heard
- 2:33Speaker 2: that one song he did that, Uh what's that child's play?
- 2:37Speaker 2: I heard it on the full community. I checked him out.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I was all this fool hard. So we tapped in
- 2:41Speaker 2: with him and then we booked him for the feature.
- 2:44Speaker 2: We flew him out here, we took care of him
- 2:45Speaker 2: and ship and we just clicked Yeah that's the boy. Yeah,
- 2:49Speaker 2: that's the homie right there. And and then ever since
- 2:52Speaker 2: he every time he comes out here, he like hits
- 2:54Speaker 2: me up and ship.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's too.
- 2:56Speaker 3: It's important too, because like you're like a cool ass
- 2:58Speaker 3: dude that ain't no bullshit.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not bullshit. Yeah, I'm sure you see that
- 3:02Speaker 2: on beyond that into that bullshit, you know.
- 3:05Speaker 3: And then like I just think it's important that the
- 3:07Speaker 3: Texas to Cali.
- 3:09Speaker 1: It's needed. It's needed, man, I feel like you.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I mean, look like you mentioned full Community earlier, which
- 3:17Speaker 3: is a dope paid shot to those guys. I know
- 3:18Speaker 3: those guys very well, but it feels like there's so
- 3:21Speaker 3: much division within the Mexican hip hop community.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, and I see all that ship too.
- 3:26Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I stay out the way because man,
- 3:29Speaker 2: that's that's like what they feed off of the ship,
- 3:31Speaker 2: you know.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you how do you like not get
- 3:34Speaker 3: tempted to just participate in some bullshit because it brings clicks,
- 3:37Speaker 3: it brings eyes.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Man, Honestly, I'm not too sure. I just think I
- 3:41Speaker 2: just come from a different era, and I feel like
- 3:44Speaker 2: the era I came from when it was really on
- 3:46Speaker 2: some ship like that, it was really on some ship,
- 3:48Speaker 2: you know. And now I feel like people just do
- 3:49Speaker 2: it for the clicks, and I mean food's end up
- 3:52Speaker 2: beefing in and they end up being fucking friends and shit,
- 3:54Speaker 2: like a couple.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Of weeks, you know, you got all your homies, yeah,
- 3:58Speaker 3: walling them out for the other guy, and now y'all
- 4:02Speaker 3: got to be around each other exactly.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So I'm cool on that ship, you know, I'm straight
- 4:06Speaker 2: on all that. But but yeah, that's that's pretty much
- 4:09Speaker 2: how me and No T click. I just brought him
- 4:10Speaker 2: out here and we've been good, and then that day
- 4:12Speaker 2: I was just here. I just came to chill with him,
- 4:13Speaker 2: and he made me fucking had me sitting here, you
- 4:16Speaker 2: know for sure.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you've been everywhere too, man. I feel
- 4:19Speaker 1: like I run into you everywhere.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I run into you at the fifty show.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah, that was a crazy tour. That shit
- 4:25Speaker 1: was hard, bro.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Honestly, I tell everybody, I'm like, yo, I'm not saying
- 4:29Speaker 3: it's the best show I've ever been to, but it's
- 4:31Speaker 3: the last show I've been to, the first show in
- 4:33Speaker 3: a long time I've been to where I was like, damn, man,
- 4:36Speaker 3: she's just used to be different.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Honestly, for me, that was the best show I've been to.
- 4:42Speaker 1: That was hard. He killed it.
- 4:45Speaker 3: It was just like it was just like damn, Like
- 4:48Speaker 3: rap is different now, these fools don't even really these
- 4:51Speaker 3: fools rap over there.

- 4:54Speaker 2: ship live. And you know what, I've seen footages of
- 4:57Speaker 2: him like doing shows and they don't sound too good
- 4:59Speaker 2: on Instagram.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I mean ship outfit changes.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Oh that ship was crazy. The fucking lighting like just everything.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Dog and I was right in the front too. I

- 6:40Speaker 3: But I was gonna say for you, like, how do
- 6:41Speaker 3: you uh, somebody who's been doing this for so long,
- 6:44Speaker 3: It's seen so many kind of people come and go, right, like, yeah,
- 6:46Speaker 3: for sure, what are the things you have like kind
- 6:49Speaker 3: of taken note of that you're able to kind of,
- 6:52Speaker 3: I guess evolve into like where music is now.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I feel like, man, just stay in my lane. Like
- 6:57Speaker 2: I see like a lot of people, you know, like
- 6:59Speaker 2: you said, coming go and some some will be over
- 7:02Speaker 2: just like clickbait shit. They'll just pop up and you're
- 7:04Speaker 2: just like, who the fuck is this?
- 7:06Speaker 1: You know?
- 7:06Speaker 2: And then now everybody's talking about this certain artists and
- 7:09Speaker 2: shit like that, and no matter what, I just continue
- 7:11Speaker 2: doing me stick to my plan and always uh my
- 7:14Speaker 2: thing too is it's about like what I'm doing is
- 7:16Speaker 2: about music, right, you know what I'm saying.
- 7:18Speaker 1: So put the music first, everything, musics.
- 7:20Speaker 2: First before fucking cloud chasing or running my mouth or
- 7:23Speaker 2: anything like that. So I always feel that the music
- 7:26Speaker 2: will overpower like all the bullshit in the end, you
- 7:29Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
- 7:29Speaker 3: So for people who don't know who aren't from the
- 7:32Speaker 3: LA area, you're from West Carolina, West Covina. West Covina
- 7:35Speaker 3: is probably about forty five minutes from from here from
- 7:38Speaker 3: where I'm at. Yeah, yeah, if there's no traffic, it's
- 7:41Speaker 3: probably like forty four. It might thirty minutes if there's no.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Trap now right now with traffic goes like fifty five.

- 13:47Speaker 2: town on the side and ship.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Why did you live there? Uh?
- 13:50Speaker 2: So I was out here with my brothers and ship,
- 13:52Speaker 2: and you know, my brothers were sucking up and moms
- 13:54Speaker 2: was pretty much tired of this ship, so she she
- 13:56Speaker 2: moved to Georgia and she had bought me a ticket
- 13:59Speaker 2: to roll with her. But Georgia to Georgia Atlanta, and
- 14:02Speaker 2: I was over here on some like fuck that right,
- 14:05Speaker 2: So I didn't go. Literally at the airport, she had
- 14:07Speaker 2: to take it for me and everything, and I fucking
- 14:10Speaker 2: I was being stubborn.
- 14:10Speaker 1: I didn't go, and she took off.
- 14:12Speaker 2: So she left me with my brother and he was
- 14:15Speaker 2: kind of like, fuck, what we're gonna do with this food,
- 14:17Speaker 2: you know, So they took me to my dad's in Mexico.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So you stayed out there how would we? I was like, well, fifteen,
- 14:24Speaker 1: like fourteen fifteen, how close is that to I want
- 14:27Speaker 1: to go to a Portunuwevo. Oh that's like like an
- 14:30Speaker 1: hour away. I heard that fucking lobsters.

- 14:39Speaker 2: You got big ass fucking whole lobster and ship for
- 14:42Speaker 2: the low.
- 14:42Speaker 3: So you lived there for a few four years. How
- 14:45Speaker 3: was it living there compared to being like out here?
- 14:48Speaker 2: That's a big difference. Hell yeah, it's a huge difference. Shit,
- 14:53Speaker 2: I was so used to like, you know, just jumping
- 14:55Speaker 2: in the shower and over there, you gotta fucking warm
- 14:57Speaker 2: up the pot, throw it in the fucking bear, mix
- 15:00Speaker 2: up the water.
- 15:01Speaker 3: I've taken us a ball, yeah, saying my son's mom's
- 15:06Speaker 3: families from Portopasco, and we were there, that's what's so
- 15:09Speaker 3: all right. Yeah, we stayed at her her grandmaf's house
- 15:13Speaker 3: when I was like eighteen, and I took one of
- 15:16Speaker 3: them showers. Yeah, and then they have to set the
- 15:17Speaker 3: trash on fire.
- 15:18Speaker 1: People don't know. Yeah, it's not a trashy thing too. Trash.
- 15:21Speaker 1: You just set the trash for gout about that, but yeah,
- 15:23Speaker 1: you're right, yeah yeah, like ship like there's no trash
- 15:26Speaker 1: coming in, like the trash gets set on fire facts, Yeah,
- 15:30Speaker 1: which is crazy. So so you what what motivated you
- 15:33Speaker 1: to come back to the US. Uh?
- 15:34Speaker 2: Well, I was out there, like I said, for those
- 15:36Speaker 2: four years, but I will come back. I'll come back
- 15:38Speaker 2: and forth.
- 15:38Speaker 1: You're going back and forth?
- 15:39Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I will come back and forth. And fucking
- 15:42Speaker 2: my brothers were just like trying to get the ship together.
- 15:44Speaker 2: So at the same time they were, they were doing
- 15:46Speaker 2: the music ship already, So that's what made me start trying.
- 15:48Speaker 1: To get into the music. So I was over there.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I was working at the liquor store, and I was
- 15:53Speaker 2: just writing lyrics like NonStop and fucking I had man,
- 15:55Speaker 2: I had books dog like a gang of like no.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Pads full of lyrics. You're writing New Mexico.
- 16:00Speaker 2: I was writing in Mexico and I was there for
- 16:03Speaker 2: like the four years, and then my brothers eventually got
- 16:05Speaker 2: an apartment and they were just they called me one
- 16:07Speaker 2: day and they were like, what's up for? Were you
- 16:08Speaker 2: ready to come back? I was like hell yeah, and
- 16:11Speaker 2: they sewed me up and I came back.
- 16:12Speaker 1: That's dope. Yeah, do you feel like there's like I
- 16:16Speaker 1: don't think there's much of an effort for a lot
- 16:18Speaker 1: of the Mexican artists that that we talked about that
- 16:23Speaker 1: are popping right now in like the scene to like
- 16:27Speaker 1: go into Mexico and try to build a fan base. Yeah.

- 19:04Speaker 3: like it's.
- 19:04Speaker 1: A trip but they're killing it all.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Like if you compare that to us over here, It's
- 19:09Speaker 2: like damn yeah, they got.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Like really a big fucking reach. How mature? Have you
- 19:14Speaker 1: ever tried to do like a full like Spanish project
- 19:17Speaker 1: or Nah? I haven't, honestly I have.
- 19:19Speaker 2: I got like Spanish songs and ship, but like on
- 19:21Speaker 2: this album, I kind of touched up on some shit
- 19:23Speaker 2: like that, like some Quardo.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Like rap ship songs.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's it's kind of going up too that
- 19:30Speaker 2: that song I have we just shot a video that
- 19:32Speaker 2: was lit on the video fucking had all we got. Man,
- 19:35Speaker 2: that's just hard. That's just coming out like in two weeks.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Yoh, this is uh.
- 19:41Speaker 3: First of all, Look, we gotta put everybody you got
- 19:44Speaker 3: the CD man, I gotta start putting more more. It's
- 19:47Speaker 3: just mixing mastered by the talent. Are master ship?
- 19:50Speaker 2: No, no, mixing master by talent.
- 19:52Speaker 1: I thought it like by talent, like you're the talent.

- 19:55Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to talent. Yeah, that's my boy. He's
- 19:59Speaker 2: been a rocking with me from the gate.

- 20:04Speaker 2: Telling you heard that right, I'm like, oh shit, he
- 20:09Speaker 2: straight up.
- 20:11Speaker 1: Mix it mastered by talent. Oh you for you man?
- 20:17Speaker 1: Like is it?
- 20:19Speaker 3: Because obviously the music game is hard to make money,
- 20:21Speaker 3: it's hard to like keep the fucking dream going. Like
- 20:24Speaker 3: for you, what are the things that you've been able
- 20:27Speaker 3: to kind of do that still make it makes sense
- 20:28Speaker 3: to be an artist as an independent artist because you're independents.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I've been independent too.
- 20:33Speaker 3: You got to do everything yourself. You got to press
- 20:35Speaker 3: up these yourself. You know, you're booking your own shows.
- 20:38Speaker 2: I would say catalog, Yeah, just building up a catalog.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Like I said, I've been doing this since two thousand
- 20:43Speaker 2: and eight, so I probably got like fucking like thirteen
- 20:47Speaker 2: low album, yeah, my iTunes and all that shit, and yeah,
- 20:52Speaker 2: I mean all that ship adds up and you know,
- 20:54Speaker 2: it does what it does. And then like you said,
- 20:56Speaker 2: I booked my shows, I do shit like that merch
- 20:59Speaker 2: just like that.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:01Speaker 3: So I always tell people like, the music is the
- 21:03Speaker 3: vehicle to get people to spend money with you on
- 21:05Speaker 3: other ship.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Oh yeah, hell yeah, you know. And and just building
- 21:09Speaker 2: relationships too. That's another thing. I've been building relationships for
