• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a follow-up to 2CB, produced by my homie Michelangelo.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Whoever hasn't heard of him, check him out. One of
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the illest, in my opinion.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you obviously, we talked about this a little bit
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: last time, but you're very like, I think it's dope too,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but it feels like you're pretty intentional on like locking
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in with the producer consistently if it's a project. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like that helps the quality of the music
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of times because it's a cohesive sound.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a short shot most of the time. Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: For you is that like is it easier to because
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you you know one of the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: biggest things about putting out like a normal album where
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you have I wouldn't even say a normal album because
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I don't want to but an album where you have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: maybe five ten different producers that's like five ten different
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: things you gotta figure out yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: A bunch of different vibes that you gotta piece together.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Well just the business side too right like producer agreements
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and you know all that stuff for sure so if
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you just lock in with one homie and it's just it's.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Lit yeah yeah it makes it a lot easier Especially
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: if it's a homie.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Right, 100%.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So you're out here, I don't know if you want
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to talk about this yet, but you're working with Evidence
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: on a sequel to War Cash.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We're just making songs.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Or a new project.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: We're making songs. We don't want to call it, you
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? We're making good songs, though.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But you're back with Ev.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I thought the first project was super dope. Is that,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for you, was it like, okay, because it's pretty soon
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to get back in, right? So like, what kind of,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what was the... feedback from the first project and like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: how did, I mean, obviously.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I saw you put it on the list. Yeah. It
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: was early in the year, but it made the list.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I want to say it was like June. I did
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like a June list.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Um, yeah, no, I think like historically with me, man,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: when I do one of those with somebody, I can't
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: think of any person who hasn't expressed an interest in
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: just doing more music.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Some of my closer friends have always told me like, man,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you're like a producer's rapper.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like you're on time. You
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: write the shit. You write it good. You write it quick.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I'm not like, yo,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: let me get that or let me change this. Showing
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: up with a bunch of bros.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Zero bros. I don't want anyone in the studio. Right.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know, if you're going to be in the studio,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: be like a fly shorty. Right. That's cool. That's good
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: for the vibe.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Or you have to be here to contribute something.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Or you got to be in a position to contribute. Right.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Have some.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: You know, valuable set of two cents, not just two cents. Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I don't want, like, dudes in the studio eating snacks,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: smoking weed, never been like that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So the new music you and Ev are working on
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: sounds good?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It sounds pretty crazy. It sounds pretty crazy. To me,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: so far, just early on, it's way better than the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: shit we just put out.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like that would make sense, too, because, like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like you guys kind of are closer now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah, I spent way more time.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Right, you guys got one in, you guys kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: understand each other's workflow a little bit easier now, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like You could build off of the first project.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: For you, I find it interesting.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Dogs are a.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Theme of your branding, your music. The new album's called Pedigree.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Pedigree.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You do not own a dog.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Not currently. I always had dogs when I was young.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But you have a cat. I have a cat. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: have a cat. Shout to Ninja.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Ninja the cat. He's 17?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Ninja the cat.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Ninja the cat's 17, man. I had to take him
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to the hospital right before I flew out here. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: he's Gucci.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He's going to pull through. Yeah, I always had dogs.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I always had animals, man. I always had lizards, piranhas, birds.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: You had piranhas? Yeah, piranhas.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: What do you feed a piranha? I used to feed
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it other fish. I think we used to feed it mice, too.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Just drop a little.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boom.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And then do like a tornado.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You see the bones fall. That's crazy. Yeah, all types.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And I had a turtle. Like all that shit.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So you're an animal guy. Animal guy, for sure. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: think I trust animals more than humans sometimes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: As you should. There's this HBO show on right now
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: called Monsters of God, and it's about the reptile trade.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like the Tiger King, but it's fucking gnarly, bro.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: The reptile trade is wild. Animals are the shit. No,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: they are.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Exhibits Cat?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I saw that whole thing. It's so fly. Right. It's
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: so dope.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And I think his cat's 25?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Thundercat. Thundercat's having a moment. Yeah. That's super dope.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Because even having a 17-year-old cat, that's an old animal.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: That's an old animal. I'm very responsible.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, what are the things you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: do to keep your cat?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I treat it like a child, I guess. I don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: have any kids, so it's the closest thing I know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? But yeah, just being cautious
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: of the nutrition and the physical movements.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Keep him exercised. When he's up a few pounds, he
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: looks a little heavy. You can't walk a cat, can you?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Get him on a diet. Nah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, unless you start early. But my cat is like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: he's not really worth that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I would just be so paranoid because I feel like cats,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: some cats, at least I know friends of mine whose
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: cat will just have outside neighborhood alone time.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, street cats. But then they come back.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that sounds like your cat's going to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: get hit by a fucking car.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: In the middle of the road. Could happen. You know
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Yeah, now my cat's not about that life.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'll keep that motherfucking cat inside.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So tell me, Pedigree is the new project. Any features
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on it?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Just the homies, man. We got Primo Profit, RLX. You
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? Kept it really simple. I had
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of features this year so far. Yeah. You
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you just dropped a freestyle for us which people
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: can go watch and you kind of alluded to the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: fact that you're pretty selective about breaking bread when it
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: comes to paying for features.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Is that fair?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not even, yeah, I'm not reaching out for features.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And if I do, I got the bread if you
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: ask for it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: But like nine times out of 10, no one's like,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you know, they're either going to do it because they
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: know what's up and not ask for shit or they're
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: going to do the funny shit where it's like they
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: said they would do it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And then it just never comes through. Yeah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: For you, like, is it just like, because I feel
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: like you have such a dope business model with your
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: music and you have such a core fan base. For you,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: does the ROI just not make sense? Like if you're like, oh, well, yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: let me just pay this guy 10 grand or $ 5, 500.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is. Yeah, no, fuck no.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: To steal some fans.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Fuck no, no.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Nah, yeah, it'd have to be like the deal of
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the century with the right person.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: You get primary artists, music video.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It's not, yeah, no.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: You know, another thing too, man, is I don't know
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: if you ever noticed this, but there's a lot of
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: dudes that are just pretty mid or maybe in the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: best case scenario, they're kind of talented, right? But they
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: just used those features that they bought, like.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: A fucking life raft. Oh, my God.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Like, you see them on stage, and they're doing their thing. Like, yo,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: y'all ever heard of such and such? Yeah, this is
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: my joint with such and such. And the whole set
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: is like that. It's like you're leaning on that shit
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: too hard.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: There are so many rappers.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: So whack.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Especially, like, I don't even want to say in your world, but, like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in the, like, in your world, there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Are so many, like, dudes who are, like, not great.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They're just okay. But, like, they got records with, like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the Griselda guy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: The who's who. Or, you know, or Jada, or whoever.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And that's the life raft. And it's like, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to each his own.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: But, you know, like, when someone's, like, people have asked
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: me for advice, and one of those things is I'll
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: be like, yo, like, get hot.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So, like, when people DM music and shit, it's like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I get it. You know what I'm saying? Because I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: was a tadpole once upon a time who would blindly. Right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe I sent you a fucking SoundCloud link, right? But
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: what I've come to realize is, man, when you make
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the shit dope, the world will come to you. You
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: can't worry about what someone else thinks of your shit.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Make the shit you like and everything else falls into place.
• 8:54

  Speaker 1: what you were doing was catching on to where you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: had like a core? Because I feel like no matter
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: how big or small, if you got like a nice court,
• 10:22

• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That can pay your rent.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: When did you kind of realize like, oh, okay, this is,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: there's something that's connecting with a certain group of people
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm starting to kind of get my, my footing
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in like what's going to work.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I think the first level of that was when I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: was making shit Really for myself and, like, my close friends.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: And that was good for me because we all loved it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Right. And half of the time I was just trying
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: to make them laugh. You know what I'm saying? With
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the bars. With the bars. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Just like, oh, my God.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Let me make the homies laugh.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let me make the homies laugh. And that was
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: good enough. Like, I would run that shit back, listen
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to it. I was doing it literally for me and them.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: And then when I got a little taste of, you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: other people in different parts of the world fucking with it,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I went up on Static Show and did, like, I
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: don't even know. A bunch of verses. I freestyled for
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: like 10 minutes.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And then I saw like that first spike. I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: know what it was, but it was like a crazy jump.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: No, dude, those shots are static, but like those freestyles,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: those moments, bro, like it gets people intrigued.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I can't think of so many artists who
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: just like got deals off of like a, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: whether it's an on the radar thing or a static
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: thing or a sway thing or, you know, we just
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: had a kid come up here. And get a nice
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: distro deal off of... We found him on that Nero
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: stream shit. And he came up here and went crazy.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And he got a fucking distro deal.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Like... That's what it's about. Yeah.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I also think, too, it's, like, something to be said about, like.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: You're a rapper.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And, like, you saw that first spike because you went and, like, rapped.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Right? And, like, you had... Went and rapped.

• 12:13
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna go... people come into town and sometimes

  Speaker 2: an album?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we floated the idea around a couple times, and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: we got some joints. We got to really lock in,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: but we got some good records.
• 13:04

  Speaker 1: Just fucked up, dog.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Good times.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: He's feeding me free tequila. It's just, it's always a blur.

• 13:19
  Speaker 2: but shout to him.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: That shit really, you know, that really put a battery
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: in my back and allowed me to see that there
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: was people from, you know, just not my neighborhood that
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: were fucking with it, you know? And I went up
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: there just dolo. It was not like someone co-signed me
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: or put a good word in for me.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Straight off an Instagram DM that I didn't even know
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: he was going to seek. Right. You know what I'm saying?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Shooters got to shoot, man. It was crazy.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: That's fire. Where is your fan base strongest at outside
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of the States?

  Speaker 2: I'll tell you like Europe. It's all over Europe, Colombia,
• 13:50

  Speaker 1: Where's the most random place you've done a show?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: The most random.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Place I've done a show, I would say, yeah, maybe
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: like Slovenia, which I did a couple months ago.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: It just felt like, yeah, it just felt.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: When I think of Slovenia, I just think of, like,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: brick walls and snow and, like, just, like, gray.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: How is it? Something like that, though. Yeah. It felt
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: like you could just feel how old everything was.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, right, right.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: You could feel it. You know what I mean?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Like, it's like where, like, Vin Diesel and Triple X would, like...
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Is that what they called that movie where he was
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: fighting all the bros? It just feels like, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like where a villain would be at. Like, I had
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to go to, like, a 007... james bond villain is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in slovenia.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah there's yeah yeah spots like that for sure no.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: That's crazy you ever do uh you did columbia yeah
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: no for sure a bunch of times we tend to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: do that more like a pro bono thing you know
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: i'm saying yeah like we're down to come through yeah
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: not even like just set it up like we took
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: jay worthy out there a couple years ago you know
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: saying he you know we got him right and shit
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: because they're like economy just in south america in general
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it's just a little different so it's a little hard
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: for them to access the hip hop that they might
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: want to see live.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And that's why you don't see a lot of guys
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: going down there.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So that's kind of like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: my gift. If I go out there, I can.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: We brought Jay Worthy down there. We brought ST Knack
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: there last December. You know what I'm saying? And we
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: want to keep doing that kind of thing. But that,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I just do off the strength. That's my people.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That's fire. So you got people out there?

• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You could be like, shit, I know the lay of
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: the land very fucking well. And they've picked up my
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: phone off me.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Oh, that happened? Of course.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Did they get into it?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Nah, they didn't get into it. Someone turned it in.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: They probably couldn't get into it and just threw it
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: somewhere and someone.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Found it and whatever. But they're smooth with that shit.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I was walking into a festival with a shorty and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: saw a dude walking like he was drunk stumbling.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And he, like, bumped into me. And I'm, like, sitting
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: there trying to help him up. And, you know, it happened, like,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: two minutes later. And I'm like, that's weird.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And the shorty was like, nah, check your pot. Boom.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Acting drunk, leaning, and then got my shit. And you
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: don't even notice it.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I always say if I ever go out there, I'm
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: going to have a shirt like this or a hoodie
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: with zippers.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? No, you got to keep
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a satchel. You got to keep a satchel out there.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's good to do that when you're traveling anywhere, really,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: because it's not like Columbia has a monopoly on pickpocketing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people probably thought you were super.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: White, for sure. Probably a lot of people. But you
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: know my core. The fan fans. You know my core. Yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: for sure. I've done albums out there.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: It's like a Russian doll.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I saw uh i know you did the melt the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: ice merch and um what what what are your thoughts
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: just on what's going on with the ice shit bro
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: because i feel like it's even though like it's not
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: in the headlines anymore every day because like i feel
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: like that minneapolis shit was i think nick shirley was
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a part of a fucking psyop to give them an
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: excuse to go in there but whatever but i feel
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: like it is affecting people every day and it's not
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the viral thing to talk about right now because we're
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: with iran and shit but like it's still super fucked
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: up what's going on like i just saw uh one
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of my homies uh sisters who was born over there
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: in mexico he was born here just got noticed she's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: gotta go back you know what i'm saying like it's
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: fucked up Has.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: That affected anybody in your family? Thankfully not, but, you know, like,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: it easily could, right?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Like, a year ago, my dad couldn't find his, you know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: he's a legal resident, but my dad couldn't find his, like, card.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Right. You know what I'm saying? And if he stopped.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Because you can have, they're sending people to. Even with
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: that shit. With paperwork. Yes. You know what I'm saying?
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So it's things like that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Like, I see who it's happening to, and it's people
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: that look like my family, like my brother.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Like my sister, like my mom, like my dad. So,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a. Important thing, man.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, if I have the platform and can
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: use it to help in any way, you know, it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: not like I got a bunch of people, you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: reconnected with their families.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Right, right.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: No, but I feel like spreading the runners is important.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And taking a stand.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Something, man.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you're the public eye, taking a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: stand is important.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: For certain things, yeah.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, if I speak up about something, I
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: did something with, you know, a skateboarder named Hamza in
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Palestine who was... just not able to skate or whatever
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: they do have to skate, they're skating on rubble.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: And recently I did a thing for the Earth.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I just speak up and try to raise some bread
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: to help out when it comes to things that I know, like,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: if I didn't do something, I'd have a hard time
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: sleeping at night.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? I think that's important.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I just feel like there's so much human right. I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: think the Palestine thing is, you know, so many people–
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: early on were like scared to speak.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I remember I was going in and.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: People were like, yo, fam, you're not fully educated.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And now everybody's like, yo. Dudes would be like, it's nuanced.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And like, sure.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nuance to everything.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: But black and white is right there. Black and white
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: is fucking obvious.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: 100%. You were telling me a little bit. So you,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: like we talked about, you have like a pretty crazy
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: fan base. And tell me about the hidden button thing
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that you do Where you offer up stuff that doesn't
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: go on DSPs.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Hidden button is for shorties behind closed curtains. Hidden butter.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I was fucking with you. Hidden butter is like, yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's hidden butter.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the whole shit in my deck is butter. Okay,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: got it, got it, got it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So it's hidden butter.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Hidden butter. Okay, okay. Yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: No, we kind of, you know, that's like a play on,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I guess, like the hidden darts or lost tapes, et cetera,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: et cetera. So it'd be like cutting room floor tracks
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: that never got out or OG versions of songs where
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: like I changed lyrics or changed the beat, things that
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: I might not, you know, have a thousand percent permission
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: to put out.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Right. Like maybe a freestyle or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: So how it works is essentially like you, is it
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: like a, almost like a shock drop or do fans
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: know what's coming?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Not super little promo. I might post something on Monday, like, yo, volume, blah, blah, blah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: And it's limited, super limited copies.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And just vinyl pressings? Just vinyl. Wow. Maybe a cassette
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: or two.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: That's pretty dope. So it's like there are fans of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: yours who just have this collection of music that if
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you know.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And if you don't, you'll never know.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there might be a couple songs out there. I
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: do not have whatever. And like I was telling you before,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: there might be a demo or something that I did
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: in college on a computer mic.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: And it's just a bunch of different shit. That's smart, dude.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's like if you have a fan
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: base like that who will support you, it's like, yo,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: why leave anything? People overthink their music sometimes.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: They'll be like, man, I want nobody to hear this.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dog, there's people who want to hear it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's literally for them. Because it's not like anything
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that's making anyone rich. You know what I'm saying? That's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: not what it's for.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: But I know that there's that core group of people
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: who will appreciate it, even the flaws in it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: 100%. No, no, because if they're real fans, they're going
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: to be like, oh, shit, that's crazy. This is what
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he sounded like.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Back then.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: His voice was squeaking. Yeah.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: And that's dope for you to be like, I'm going
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to just, I don't care, you know, like I I'm
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: dope now, but like this song that sounds crazy from
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: 20 years ago that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And of course I'm taking the best of the best
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Of course. But I'm curating it. You know, most people
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: be like, bro, that I want that old shit out. Dog.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I don't sound the same.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Like, I think that's dope, man. Um, are you working
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on anything else besides everything right now?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Um, yeah, I always got like a couple of pots
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: on the stove, man. Um, I was cooking with Skizz
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: before I pulled up to L.A.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Fire. We got some, you know, we got like three
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: albums already, so we always work. Oh, yeah, you know,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I'm always cooking, man.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody who you, obviously we talked about Stat Club,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: is there anybody who you really would like to just like,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: if you had your way, you could pick somebody producer-wise
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to just dial in that you haven't.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Worked with yet? I don't know, man.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'd love to cook some shit up with Pharrell, man.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Pharrell's on a little run right now. He's got a
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: little baby. He's got a record that Pharrell produced.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. That would be just nuts. You know what
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I'm saying? Primo. Of course. Of course. For sure.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I got records with a lot of
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: dudes that have come out and a lot of records
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: that haven't come out.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Right. You know, for whatever reason.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: So it's like I checked off a lot of shit
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: off the rap bucket list.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Get a nice like clips type pack from Pharrell.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Go crazy.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: We're talking about I had you guys on, I did
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: like a really like my favorite albums of the year list.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I had you guys on there. What's your favorite album
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: That isn't your own?
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: This year that isn't my own. I would say, I
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: really fuck with the Monday Night shit. The Evan Monday Night.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that a lot. But it's hard to say.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not like a good litmus because I work so
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: much that like, you know, I give shit like a
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: quick listen and I just got to back up off it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: So that it doesn't influence me.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people are.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: They're subconsciously influenced by what they're listening to.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And they don't even know it. Even if it's, like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit, it happens.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: So I kind of prefer to, like... I kind of
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: just live in, like, the old shit.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like if I was an artist like that,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't listen to current music without... Like, it would just...
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I just wouldn't... I would just, like you said, like,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: skim through it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And be like, oh, it's good. You know?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And then, obviously, every once in a while, there's an exception,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you know, where you're like, this is too good.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I got to.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like that's smart because you're not.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I might be having an outcast month. Right. Or a
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: life after death month. And it might be, or it
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: might be a little baby week. Right, right, right. But
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: that's just not really going to seep. You know, these
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: things are so far removed that I can do it. No,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: that makes sense.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. That makes sense.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: But like, yeah, listening to like my peers or whoever
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: people like lump into my world.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I can't really check for it.
• 26:24

• 26:50
  Speaker 2: ready to die. Excuse me. Ready to die was just
• 26:53

• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Have you met Prince Paul yet?

  Speaker 2: Nah. Prince Paul's that guy, man. That'd be insane. I mean, yeah.
