1:42
SPEAKER_01: Uh that's cool.
1:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh so I came upon you on Instagram or TikTok a video about you uh turning down an album or a record label or something like that.
1:53
SPEAKER_01: What's the deal with that?
1:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
1:55
SPEAKER_03: Um I was like, holy man, that that must be pretty uh shout out shout out to them, man.
2:01
SPEAKER_03: It was a Christian label that they were trying to open new doors for like a better, like they wanted to expand their label and do things.
2:09
SPEAKER_03: They wanted to get in the rap scene, the music scene a little bit, and like on that type of genre.
2:14
SPEAKER_03: And I kind of like I was interested, but I they like the styles of music I was doing, like the the pain and all that.
2:21
SPEAKER_03: They really digged it, and I was just thinking to myself, like, yo, like it's a good opportunity, but I like to be different places in music, like I do rap, like that talk stuff about this, that that I cannot spit one on one topic, just stick on one topic.
2:34
SPEAKER_03: See how I feel.
2:35
SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna write about it, I'm I'm gonna make a song about it.
2:37
SPEAKER_03: So I just felt like I wasn't really the perfect fit for it.
2:40
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
2:41
SPEAKER_03: So I just decided, like, if I turn it down, there's always gonna be a better opportunity somewhere, and I really feel like that's what's gonna happen soon.
2:47
SPEAKER_01: Wow, that's awesome! So, shortly after watching that video, I started researching and I found you on YouTube, and then I I was listening uh to like the first couple videos, and then I listened to the song about your your mom late mother, right?
2:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was real.
3:00
SPEAKER_01: That I was like, damn, that's that's heart, that's heart right there, man.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
3:04
SPEAKER_01: So that's that must have been yeah.
3:06
SPEAKER_01: How'd you feel about writing that song?
3:08
SPEAKER_03: Well, just to be honest, just to even talk about my mother is a touchy subject, you know, like yeah, shit.
3:14
SPEAKER_03: When I lost her for like my whole, I lost a lot of people.
3:16
SPEAKER_03: Like I started sticking to myself more, and I just believe the music came out more powerful when she passed, believe it or not.
3:22
SPEAKER_03: Like I gained a lot of motivation from that.
3:23
SPEAKER_03: Um, the song she said is the song you're talking about.
3:26
SPEAKER_03: Um, those were actual real conversations, word for word.
3:31
SPEAKER_03: When my mom got admitted in the hospital was January 12th.
3:34
SPEAKER_02: Oh wow.
3:35
SPEAKER_03: So January 12th, she was admitted, and um, she was supposed to go for a little procedure.
3:40
SPEAKER_03: She was already battling lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes.
3:44
SPEAKER_03: She she she was very sick, and she by the time she was 18, and she battled it all the way until 64.
3:49
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and um then she was supposed to go in for a little procedure.
3:52
SPEAKER_03: So when she went in for a little procedure, she just really never made it back out.
3:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
3:56
SPEAKER_03: Um January 14th, I was actually at recording over there at uh Monsi's uh people, and I had met OT over there too, that Mexican OT.
4:07
SPEAKER_03: Shout out to him.
4:08
SPEAKER_03: I met him over there, and you know, we talked about a few things that I was going through because he saw that I was going through stuff, and I told him my mom, man, she's real sick right now, she's admitted.
4:16
SPEAKER_03: So I went to go see my mom the next day from that from recording, and uh she basically had all these conversations with me, like don't ever let my head down.
4:26
SPEAKER_03: Like, doctors say like I might not make it this round, you know, like just keep pushing in life.
4:32
SPEAKER_03: Like, remember I'm always around, and just like things like that lingered with me for a whole year.
4:37
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
4:37
SPEAKER_03: Just every conversation she had when you just lingered with me for a whole year.
4:40
SPEAKER_03: And uh I was always questioning God, like, why you keep like allowing these thoughts of me and my mom's conversations and the last thing she had, like, keep affecting me, eating me mentally, you know.
4:50
SPEAKER_03: Like, because I know I didn't want to forget my mom, but I wanted to like move on from it.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
4:55
SPEAKER_03: So I felt that the more I heard about it in my head, it just messed with me.
4:59
SPEAKER_03: So I ended up creating just one time, just sitting down.
5:02
SPEAKER_03: I said, Yo, I can't take it no more.
5:04
SPEAKER_03: Like, you know what I mean?
5:04
SPEAKER_03: Just pick the bead, and then I I just came up with that song.
5:08
SPEAKER_03: It's gotta come out, it had to come out, it had to come out, and I realize now like that's what it was.
5:13
SPEAKER_03: Like it stuck with me because it needed to be created to a song, like you know.
5:17
SPEAKER_03: So now I look back at it, it's more easy to hear it and realize what she was saying.
5:20
SPEAKER_03: Wow, crazy! Yeah, yeah, it's very powerful in that song.
5:23
SPEAKER_03: It's awesome, man.

SPEAKER_01: So so was that one so was that one of the reasons why you got back because you because we mentioned we're talking on text on Instagram, yeah.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: That you felt you got out of it and then you came back to it.
6:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, what's the story there?
6:32
SPEAKER_03: Okay, so I started off really my brother and his friends, you know, they used to have a FSR FSR Pullish squad records, like a little thing going on back in the day.
6:41
SPEAKER_03: They were they were doing their own thing and stuff.
6:44
SPEAKER_03: My brother used to do music, whatever, and um it was eight years old.
6:48
SPEAKER_03: I was eight years old.
6:49
SPEAKER_03: I I was always a younger sibling, he's an older brother.
6:51
SPEAKER_03: I always wanted to be around my older brother, you know.
6:53
SPEAKER_03: They're the cooler ones, you know.
6:54
SPEAKER_03: So I just want to be around my brother.
6:56
SPEAKER_03: And yeah, so one night he was just there listening to some beat, and I guess he couldn't really finish or come up with something.
7:03
SPEAKER_03: And he's like, Man, let's see if you could you could catch it.
7:06
SPEAKER_03: Oh, and for me being eight years old, like just messing around, like I said what I said, I don't really remember what I said, but I remember like him calling everybody of his friends, oh wow, and just saying, like, hey, spit this again, and then we'll at that time it was a house phone.
7:20
SPEAKER_03: So, you know, the ones that with the long chords used to have me like holding the phone for me and with the beat playing in the back, and then him just me just just spitting it, and then he'll be like, All right, that she goes, and then they'll be like, whatever they say about it, like, oh, that's cool, like what she's eight, and then we'll hang up.
7:33
SPEAKER_03: Then he'll have me call like all these other people and do the same thing, and it was just like, yeah.
7:37
SPEAKER_03: So ever since then, I was just like, dang, like, you know, and then it took off from being eight years old to being able to do that.
7:44
SPEAKER_03: It really took off by the time I was 12, 13.
7:46
SPEAKER_03: I was doing local shows, car shows, going to San Antonio with uh baby boys.
7:52
SPEAKER_03: You know, shout out to him.
7:53
SPEAKER_03: He goes by Drippy Drew now.
7:55
SPEAKER_03: I was doing shows with them.
7:56
SPEAKER_03: They were taking Andy, shot our man, RP Andy, man.
7:59
SPEAKER_03: Like he really, you know, helped me push myself out there, take me to San Antonio and stuff.
8:05
SPEAKER_03: And I started doing shows out there, and um I started getting older.
8:10
SPEAKER_03: Teenager, you know, we're all in the funk when we're teenagers.
8:13
SPEAKER_03: I started choosing the wrong paths, to be honest.
8:16
SPEAKER_03: You know, girls really messed my mind up sometimes, you know, and I stuck with them.
8:19
SPEAKER_03: And instead of perfecting my craft and kept it going, I just started like, you know, going one way when I was supposed to be going that way, it's like I seemed that way, but this way looked better at the moment.
8:29
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, so I just really kind of stopped, and then as I got older, you know, life really gets you.
8:35
SPEAKER_03: And uh, I was battling to be honest, just to be real.
8:37
SPEAKER_03: I battle sometimes from depression and the urge of other things, you know.
8:42
SPEAKER_03: And like the word I really I'm a strong firm believer, like where Wordsfeld music speaks, and I started just writing it down.
8:48
SPEAKER_03: I remember my mom used to tell me, like, just write it down, write it down, write it down.
8:51
SPEAKER_03: And yeah, I started getting bored of just writing it down.
8:54
SPEAKER_03: So I started making everything rhyme.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh wow.
8:56
SPEAKER_03: And then uh yeah, man, I just started coming back up this time with pain music.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
9:01
SPEAKER_03: Pain, you know what I mean?
9:02
SPEAKER_03: Like everything else real that I'm going through.
9:04
SPEAKER_03: I just started really just putting it down, you know.
9:06
SPEAKER_01: You can tell.
9:06
SPEAKER_01: You can tell when I was real and I was listening to another track.
9:09
SPEAKER_01: I can't remember.
9:10
SPEAKER_01: It had this one line from uh the animals song.
9:12
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I'm just a soul uh whose intentions are good.
9:16
SPEAKER_03: It's the jungle song.
9:17
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that one.
9:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: That was a really I was listening to that one.
9:19
SPEAKER_01: I was like, damn, this is like like, you know what I mean?
9:23
SPEAKER_01: It's not just messing up, just putting words together, it's something that's actually happening.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: Heartfelt, yeah.
9:28
SPEAKER_03: Every one of my songs right now, bro, is like literally something that's going on in my life.
9:32
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
9:32
SPEAKER_03: I don't right now, it's every song is facts.
9:34
SPEAKER_03: Like, like I told a lot of people, like, I can't give you a song to get high to or get drunk to or like go dance to because I'm not in my mind space, I'm not there yet, but in my mind space, I'm talking about what I'm going through.
9:46
SPEAKER_03: That's I'm venting basically.
9:48
SPEAKER_03: Right.
9:48
SPEAKER_03: It's my coping mechanism to like be able to cope with what I go through right now.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and then like I think when people listen to it, they definitely relate to it because they're probably going through it as well.
9:58
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, man.
9:59
SPEAKER_03: I had numerous messages from just random people telling me, like, hey, I feel that like I lost I made a song called 163.
10:06
SPEAKER_03: Um, I went to Martin Middle School and I we lost a lot of people since then.
10:10
SPEAKER_03: Like we lost a lot of people, and um I made a song about everybody, basically all our friends that we lost.
10:15
SPEAKER_03: It's called 163.
10:16
SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
10:16
SPEAKER_03: And I had a lot of people just message and be like, hey, that's my cousin or that's my nephew that you talked about, like we appreciate it.
10:23
SPEAKER_03: And just had other people just say, like, yeah, man, like I really like get influenced by your music, you know, and just telling me I'm not alone, you know, and it's just it's real good support and it's good feedback, and it makes me feel like humble and blessed to know that it's reaching to others, you know.
10:36
SPEAKER_03: Really never really wanted it to be like that.
10:38
SPEAKER_03: Like, I would just post my music and let it be for what it was.
10:40
SPEAKER_03: It's my coping thing, you know.
10:43
SPEAKER_03: But if it could help others by any means, like I support it, I'm really happy for that.
10:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely.
10:48
SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
10:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we were talking about mental health on the last podcast.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: I think you were chiming in there, but yeah, that's I think that's something that's important to our community, you know.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, like and I've struggled with it, you know what I mean.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: I'm ADD, ADHD, so I can see how somebody like myself can be like depressed, you know what I mean?
11:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, because society uh I don't know, it it's just not the way it is, it's just not for us.
11:14
SPEAKER_01: It's weird.
11:15
SPEAKER_01: It's just not for us.
11:16
SPEAKER_03: That's how I feel.
11:16
SPEAKER_03: I feel like I'm living in this world, living in my own world.
11:19
SPEAKER_03: Does that make sense?
11:20
SPEAKER_03: Like, that's the way I really feel in my life.
11:22
SPEAKER_03: But I make every day the best of it because we only got one life to live, you know.
11:26
SPEAKER_03: It's more life, one you, so that's what the clothing line that I'm coming out with.
11:30
SPEAKER_03: It's called LBU.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: Cool.
11:31
SPEAKER_03: It's called Live, the thing's called Live Beyond You.
11:34
SPEAKER_03: Nice meaning, like what you do now, make sure you make a legacy out of it so that way when you're dead and gone or passed away, the younger generations, everybody else could still remember you some way, somehow, because you impacted it and you affected them in some type of way where you carry on, you know what I mean?
11:50
SPEAKER_03: Like that's like a legacy, you live in a legacy in a legacy, yeah.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: So how when did you start thinking like that?
11:56
SPEAKER_01: Because not a lot of people think like that, you know?
11:58
SPEAKER_03: When my mom died.
11:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh damn.
12:00
SPEAKER_03: It was like a turning point for a lot of things.
12:02
SPEAKER_03: Like my it's like my brain got rewired all over again.
12:04
SPEAKER_03: Wow, that's so crazy.
12:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's crazy.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: So like at that moment, like when she passed away, did it take like a few a few weeks, a few months, or like how how long did it take until like that actually made a change to have some people out there?
12:19
SPEAKER_03: Well, my mom passed, she passed away January 14, two days before my birthday.
12:25
SPEAKER_03: I I my birthday was in two days later.
12:28
SPEAKER_03: Um that time when I was just sitting on my birthday, like, dang, like we planned a lot of things today.
12:34
SPEAKER_03: Wasn't able to do it, and then I was just thinking, like, the last conversations, like the conversation me and my mom had was to make her proud.
12:41
SPEAKER_03: So when my mom passed, I told my brother, like, literally in the hospital, but when she passed and I seen her, they live with their body there, and they make sure, like, you know, whatever, and then they put the sheet over her and stuff like that.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: Like, it's real, like it becomes real.
12:55
SPEAKER_03: Like, what am I gonna do now?
12:56
SPEAKER_03: And they're saying, Oh, I got my mama now, yeah.
12:58
SPEAKER_03: And uh, so I just told my brother, like, yo, it's time to make mom happy.
13:03
SPEAKER_03: My mom always loved my music, man.
13:05
SPEAKER_03: She would always tell me every time when I was sad to her, just wanted to venture, she said, You're good at music, write it down, write it down, and talk about it through there, and I'd always tell her, like, nah, nah, but now I'm taking her word for it.
13:16
SPEAKER_03: Like, she knew something.
13:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and when I came back this time with the pain, yeah, it's just crazy.
13:24
SPEAKER_03: I'm getting a lot of love and support, but it's because a lot of things are these are touchy subjects, a lot of rappers and mainstream martyrs really fail to speak about sometimes.
13:32
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like we can't all relate through the cars, we can't all relate to the fancy clothes, the chains, yeah, like the mansions, because some of us don't really have that.
13:41
SPEAKER_02: No.
13:41
SPEAKER_03: So I just I decided to be real and 100 with a day, you know what I mean?
13:45
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, what I go through, I'm pretty sure there's many people go through the same.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely.
13:50
SPEAKER_01: And it's like you become you become vulnerable, vulnerable in putting that stuff out.
13:55
SPEAKER_01: So it's it's kind of like you have to be that way in order to just to put that stuff out.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: You know, I don't know if that makes any sense.
14:02
SPEAKER_03: You can't you can't tell a person that you feel them if you never went through it.
14:07
SPEAKER_03: You know, that's that's basically what you're saying right now.
14:09
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's true.
14:10
SPEAKER_03: I'm pretty sure that like I said, there's a lot of people who go through that.
14:13
SPEAKER_03: It's just a subject that really people don't really talk about.
14:16
SPEAKER_03: I guess they hide it sometimes.
14:18
SPEAKER_03: But not me, man.
14:19
SPEAKER_03: I just to be real with it.
14:20
SPEAKER_01: I just yeah, there were some people some people don't want to open up, you know what I mean?
14:23
SPEAKER_01: It's hard to open up, and if you open up you're you leave yourself basically open to get hurt.
14:28

35:34
SPEAKER_03: Like you believe from your heart, you know what I mean?
35:37
SPEAKER_03: Like as long as you have them talks with them, pray to them every morning, every night, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: Before you do what you do, like before here I prayed.
35:42
SPEAKER_03: Like, you know what I mean?
35:43
SPEAKER_03: As long as you got that relationship with God, like he ain't gonna forget about you.
35:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, you don't have to, and it's like you don't have to have you don't have to be affiliated with a church to know that you have a relationship with God.
35:54
SPEAKER_01: That that's just how my look on it, you know what I'm saying?
35:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, because people will let we'll let each other down as people, you know what I'm saying?
36:03

36:08
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
36:08

36:14
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
36:14
SPEAKER_01: You never know the motive behind all that stuff, but it's there, yeah.
36:18
SPEAKER_01: It's there.
36:19
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people don't talk about it.
36:20
SPEAKER_01: Some people they just kind of just they go into the church and then they leave and then they don't talk about it.
36:25
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
36:26
SPEAKER_01: But I'm just like, dude, why don't we talk about it?

36:43
SPEAKER_03: This blows my mind how there's so many great artists here, like crazy.
36:46
SPEAKER_03: Like, we probably should be like the next Houston.
36:49
SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah, that's how I feel.
36:50
SPEAKER_03: Like, you know, as long as we all show love to each other, not be competitive with one another, like we could all make something of this city and be more pop in the wood.
36:57
SPEAKER_03: And it it already is, but it deserves more recognition.
37:00
SPEAKER_03: Like, we're all great artists here, man.
37:02
SPEAKER_03: We're all great in our own ways, even if you don't rap, you do something, the job, we're all great in our own ways.
37:06
SPEAKER_03: That's what I feel.
37:07
SPEAKER_01: Do you think that like uh so talking about that, like speaking of like uh the genre of music that these artists are in, yeah.
37:14
SPEAKER_01: Do you think that it gets a bad rap, like from say higher ups in the city or just all together?
37:20
SPEAKER_01: Like, do you think about that?
37:21
SPEAKER_01: Like, how does that how do you I do?
37:23
SPEAKER_03: I that's why I try to stay away from that topics and stuff, try to be commercial with it.
37:29
SPEAKER_03: And that's what I'm about to my kind of way, like just be commercial with the music.
37:32
SPEAKER_03: Don't stay away from subjects like that.
37:35
SPEAKER_03: Like, not saying like I'm against it, like you know what I'm saying?
37:38
SPEAKER_03: I'm not really against it, but in my music, I don't want to speak like that.
37:41
SPEAKER_03: So I just try to like just keep it, you know, commercialized in a way.
37:45
SPEAKER_01: Some people might be like, oh, well, that's uh you know, you're not being true to yourself or whatever, whatever.
37:49
SPEAKER_01: How do you how do you respond to people like that?
37:52
SPEAKER_03: I've never sold any type of drugs or anything like that.
37:55
SPEAKER_03: I've never been like that, so it's it wouldn't be being fake with myself, but yeah.
37:59
SPEAKER_03: So they everybody knows who I am, like you know, a lot of people know me.
38:03
