  Speaker 1: myself on YouTube, fucking with fl studio and in pro
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: tools and download downloading different programs, just teaching myself and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I fell in love with it. This was probably like

  Speaker 1: eight years ago. So okay, so you're you record yourself,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you make beats, ya, you sing? Yeah, do you mix

• 8:05
  Speaker 1: shout out EP on my Eagle Team. She creatively put
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that together. That shit's dope, man. So so you kind
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of became a master of the craft, just every aspect
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of it. What was your like childhood, like, like what
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: like were you you know, how did you grow up?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Like did you play any sports? What were you doing
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like as a kid prior to music. As a kid,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it was just running around just figuring shit out. I remember,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: like the first thing to come to my mind is
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: riding bikes with my friends. That was the best, right,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: throwing rocks at house, having pegs, right, just a little
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: bait hop on the back tire bro exactly. Yeah, I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: mean it was cool until you get older you realize,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like certain locations you're not supposed to go to and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, territories and yeah, it kind of changed
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: my perspective as I grew up. But yeah, that was
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: part of the reason why my mom wanted me to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: go to the i E. My dad to get away
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: from that that like exactly was uh going how much
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of a because a lot of people who aren't from
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the LA area, they'll hear someone from Riverside and they'll
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, that's La. Yeah, Like what's the big
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: difference culturally you think, like from what you were like
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: before your mom sent you to to I E. Like
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: what changed the most Just me knowing everybody in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: neighborhood really like everybody more to theyself out there. When
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I was a late younger, It's like everybody's more outside
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and vocal and you know, everybody on your block, you
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Out there, it was just like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: everybody to theyself. So I would say that's the most
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: change that I seen. Do you remember the first time
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: one of your records like like hit us, Like, like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: do you remember like your first like song that got
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: moving online? Like what was like was it something when
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you were in high school? Like what was like, like
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: even if it was like just the homies really like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: oh shit, Like people really like my music even if
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it's like thirty of them, Like yeah, nah, for sure.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I used to put songs on my Space back in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the day, shout out to my space. You know who
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: was in your top eight though? Real quick, damn, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: don't even remember. That's that's a good question. Are they
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: still around? Would they from my top eight still around
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to this day? That wasn't a solid top eight then?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So you had you were putting music up on MySpace, right,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and I feel like we'll reassured me to keep to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: keep making music. Was girls used to upload my songs
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on their page? You know how you can? Yeah, you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: get paid someone else exactly. So I used to think
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that was cool. I used to think I was somebody
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: because they were put if you if you had the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: song choice on your Mindspace page was so important, that's all.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: That's all the credit you needed. Back then, I would
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: put way too much thought into which songs that would
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: have as like my two or three on MySpace. So like, yo,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: when people come to my page, I want them to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: know how raw rap ship I'm into. I want them
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to know I'll be fucking with the boom bab ship exactly.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That was your whole personality. Let me put this fucking this,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: this re up gang, push your t ship on my page.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So people know, like I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: with the fucking with the Nelly shit. Feel me? No,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. So how old are you? I'm fifteen, You're fifteen, Okay?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Well how where're you graduate? High school? Twenty ten? Okay
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: for sure? I graduated no five, So so yeah, I'm
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: just trying to judge the era of music you came up.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So you obviously are like I mean, sonically, man, you
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: can do anything. I feel like your melodies are crazy.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Where you think you get that from? Damn, that's a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: good ass question. I probably would say just growing up
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in my house, my mom and my older sister just
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: would play anything, you know, from Erica by Dude to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Jill Scott. But like that's where most some good shit. Yeah,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: my melodic side came from. And that's what really attracts
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to me the most. Like melodies, Yeah, like, and I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: feel like too, like melodies are are the heart people.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know, hear a lot of people talking about like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: today's music is more melodic than like in the nineties
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: or the two thousands. But it's like, I feel like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the melody part is the hardest part. Like you, like,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: anybody can write a bunch of lyrics on a page
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and then they open their mouth and they sound god awful.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Right now. That's part of the reason why, like, when
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I'm recording, I just like to go with whatever I'm feeling,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: because when you write it, it's not the exact same
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: as you will perform it, you know what I'm saying.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. So is that your process when you're recording.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Are you like just feeling the melody out. Yeah, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just say a melody with no words, like to a beat,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and then feel the words in it and then as
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it goes Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I mean I've been in
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the studio a lot. I feel like a lot of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: people are kind of that's kind of like the way
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they record now because I feel like, like you said,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: writing it down is like it's like you're reciting something. Yeah,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially with me having a studio of my house,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it gives me the opportunity to take my time with
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it too, so to say like I'm just freestyle and everything,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: but I really like to take my time and fine
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: what feels good versus what sounds good. Okay, So outside
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of you in the MySpace moment, what was the first
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: record of yours? Like what like? Like, I know that
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the Bino Project made a lot of waves, and before
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that you were making some noise, But what was that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: record that kind of put you on in the city
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: where you were kind of like okay, like you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this shit's going in the right direction. Damn, that's a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: good I wouldn't even say it was one record. It
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was just a buy. I know you're dropping a lot. Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It was a slow build up until the point where
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: where I put out until I put out the six
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: tape and I was like, okay, I had this record
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: called Savage with Bino. That was the one that really
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: like caught everybody attention. And I was on Bino's Sorry
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: for the Way tape. Yeah, so you and Bino. By
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the way, Bino's project outside is super slept on it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Go check that shit out. Father, You're on your You're Yeah,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the singles crazy. We was running that shit up on
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the radio for at least a month. Man shot out
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that record is crazy. How did your guys' friendship like
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: start up. So it's this artist y'all may know his name,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Kaitlyn for real, for real, shout out to Kaylyn. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: produced this song. He got called right with it, of course,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and uh, Beino hit up Kaitlin, like, yo, who did this?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: You know even didn't even know as an artist at
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the time. Okay, a lot of people know me from producing.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Kaitlyn exchanged our contacts. I sent Beino probably
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: like five beats and he recorded everyone and like like
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a week. Wow. I sent them back, but he was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: dropping them too and putting videos out to him and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: they was all going viral, like you know, on YouTube, right,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he started putting together He's Sorry for the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Weight tape. I sent them savage and he ended up
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: putting that on I'm Sorry for the Weight and then
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: we also ended up putting that on six tape, right,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And that's how we started our relationship. That's crazy because
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: it's it's like like you guys recently just started fucking
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: with each other. But chemistry's fire. I don't know what
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it is, but just his workflow is just like mine.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So it was easy. We clicked right off the jump.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like, like you said earlier, like you're
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you're like your come up and it's still you're still
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: in the middle of it. But like the slow grinding
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: aspect of it was. Was it ever like frustrating or like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: were you ever hitting walls in the music industry where
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you're kind of like almost like threw in the hat? Nah? Yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you definitely had those moments. But I don't know. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: feel like me being able to produce my own sound
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: kept me like humble enough to believe that sooner or
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: later it was gonna work, you know what I'm saying.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I looked at it like I'm just developing my sound
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: instead of like when this shit gonna blow. Like I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: felt like I was just like all right, like he
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: was in your reps up right, Yeah, it's gonna hit.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That's fair man, Damn. So the p is uh it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: fire straight through and through, man. I was. I was
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: just talking to my homie from New York about it
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: because all people be hitting me like yo, what's it?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: What's going on in l A? And then I gotta
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: usually hit up DJ head But nah, I mean the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: epy Phoenix. Yeah, we've never met, which is crazy because yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but Uh, what was I fucking saying? I'm high ahead,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: talking ahead? Oh your EP, we're talking about your EP.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: EP's crazy. I was extremely because I felt like every
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: time I was talking to anybody, uh, it was like
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I've talked to people at def Jam, like and they're
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: bringing your name up, Like everybody's trying to sign this
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: full This was before this was like around the time
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Beano dropped his project, but everybody had already kind of known,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: like you're the guy that's next up. You signed with
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Red Bull, which is very unconventional. I know Warren Bruce
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: was fucking with red and ye, why what kind of
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: give us the rundown on that decision? Because it definitely
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: caught me by surprise. So I'm signed under my own imprint,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: which is Eagle, and we did a partnership with Red Bull.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, basically Eagle is my team that put together
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and right now it's just like a management because I'm
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the only artist that they focused on. Got you and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: well red Bull. Yeah, everybody be saying like why you
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: do why you go with Red Bull? I wanted to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: go to unconventional route because this was my first time
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: doing paperwork with anybody, So I wanted to be strategic,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want it to be something where it's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: like a long situation, you know what I'm saying. I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: wanted to do something where I can learn the ropes
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of things. And it was the perfect fit for me
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: because they understood my position and my value as being
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a producer as well. So I feel like, yeah, it
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was the perfect situation. It's a short term. It's a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: short term deal. So are you a technically a free agent? Now?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that because I do want to.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I got some plans that I'm not speaking on right now.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So you've already signed the big, big deal. Nah? Nah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I know. I've heard some people trying to get at you,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: is it everybody? A lot of people have been tapping there,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to take my time with it,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: right Yeah. Like I feel like the mistake most people
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: make is like you're like, you're doing what you're supposed
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: to be doing. If a major label got involved tomorrow,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: like it might beat up like some things, but you're
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you're like, there's not a lot of major label can
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: bring to the table that you're not already besides money,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and that's gonna cut that's a fact. But even like
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Red Bull, they definitely helped crazy, like with my situation,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like just with the publications and everything, helping me put
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: together my rollout. Oh, they was really on their ship.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Every idea we came up with it, they was they
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: was down there to produce it or you know, figure
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: out ways they can be a part of it. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: mean that company is very They do a lot of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: dope dope ship that's like people obviously equated to an
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: energy drink, but they do so much ill shit. Nah. Yeah,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: they fire fuck with Red Bull Records, absolutely fuck with
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Red Bull Records and only drink red Bull because it
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: gives you wings. Do you get free Red Bull for life?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I hope so. I mean I'm assuming you have cases
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and nah. Yeah. They definitely blessed me with the cases,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: which is lovely, but yeah, I don't know if I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: get it for life though. There's like a Red Bull
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: airplane competition. Have you seen that? They got so many
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: sports bro? No, but they have like a competition with
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: these fucking airplanes doing crazy ass ship bro. It's like
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: like what like tricks bro? Yeah, it's like wild. Yeah,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I've seen that fucking Red Bull man. They were raging
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: over there. Yeah, everything extremely part of it. That shit
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: crazy talk about man, Just like I know, you've had
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of people tap in with you. Like, like
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I said, you're you're kind of the known. I feel
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: like it's the consensus amongst the taste makers out here
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: is like you're up next, who's tapped in? It's like
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: kind of surprised you that was somebody who you were
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a fan of or somebody who you were like, oh
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: my god, this person knows who the fuck I am.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It's funny, as you said it earlier, Russ tapped in recently,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Russ Russ a great guy, solid dude. He shouted me
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: out on Twitter too. I saw that, Yeah, I just
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: saw that, You're right, Yeah, he just tweeted about you
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: like it was yesterday, the day before. Yeah, yeah, shout
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: out to Russ. That's crazy because I watched all his
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: interviews and I be feeling exactly how he be feeling
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: about everything. So shout out Russ. Sean love because he
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. You know, It's interesting with Russ.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like he gets so much unwarranted hate and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, this guy's literally giving you guys priceless
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: game that's crazy for free, like shit, you can't pay
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: for shit that nobody will want to tell you. Who
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: could tell you? And he's just spreading the game to everybody.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And it's like, Yo, you could do nothing but appreciate
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: somebody like that too. Does that kind of staying independent
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: or or not necessarily going like the super major label
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: route to somebody like Russ and what he you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: when he posted his tumb course, shit, that's just crazy, mom. Yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that's pure motivation for me. When he even when he
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: tapped in, I was tellingim, but I was like, bro,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: this is just reinsurance that I'm on the right path. Yeah,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: things like that. Yeah, that's what motivated me for sure.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: You have a crazy uh record with mis that you
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: guys just drop the video for. Are you prepared to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: be the next like hook guy? I think Ty's gonna
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: pass you the baton. Hey, I'm not mad at that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at that. Yeah, I definitely take that role.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at being the hook guy. I feel
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: like it's coming man, I do too. I feel like
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it's like I feel like you're like tied. All the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: sounds gonna be like yeah, t I got it for show. Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: On Twitter, that's the trend, they say, blast everyone's coming
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: at you, Like, yeah, bro, you got to like, man,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: who's your dream collaboration? Like, who's like that one artist
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that even no matter how unrealistic, it is like that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that you you want to work with. People probably gonna
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: make fun of me, but I'll say Chris Brown. Hey,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like Chris Brown is untouched with any anything
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he touched it just turned it to go. I just
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: had a conversation with you know who, Gashy is, the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: singer Gashy. So we had a conversation about how Chris Brown,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, is the most talented artist to ever
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that I've ever seen. And when I'm talking talent, I'm
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: not talking about I mean he could sing and he
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: could dance better than everybody, but he also paint your
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: house right and like he does murals and not humans.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's obviously got his falls. We all got
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: our flaws, you know, his just much more public. But goddamn,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: if you don't got more ten. This motherfucker hit a jumper,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: now that's a fact. When he did that backflip on
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: stage and they was comparing them to Michael Jackson and yeah,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and and fair point, he'll probably take ninety nine percent
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of everybody's wife's He's Chris Brown. That's a talent, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: gotta give it to him. M Yeah, I'm gonna put
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I think you working with Chris Brown has gotta happen
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in the next twelve months. I feel like it's happened.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like that you can kind of you could
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: kind of put that in the like like in the atmosphere.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm a manifest that for sure.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Chris Brown, I'm gonna work with two. Come on, what
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: about somebody like Super Unexpected Sada Babies a Nickelback fan,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: which was fucking weird. That's the worst band ever, I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: would say. Somebody like Adele Shout out to Adele Man. Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I think everything she makes is just big, like stadium
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: or her music is like obviously she just became meme.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Shout out to her for representing that's on Jamaica Day.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: But no, but like her music is like timeless. It's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: like it's like ship Like she's a living legend for sure.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Do you think you sing? Do you think when someone
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: loses weight like that? Does their voice change. I don't know.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. I think I think her voice
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: is the same. I mean, I don't know. I don't
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: think we've heard Skinny Adel yet. I don't think she's
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: dropped some ship since she's she's been on her fitness
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: shout out to her though. Is there gonna be a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: sequel to you and Bino Ship? Absolutely? I mean I
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: can't speak on Bino bed well no, he told me yes,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, I just want to see. Yeah, it's
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent of go on my hand. How many
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: records you guys have together that are in the can?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: If any, I'll probably say, like a cool ten ten Yeah, okay,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's a project. There you go. Yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: but you know the vibes we gotta we gotta locke

• 25:22
  Speaker 1: be very very important, right, Like it's like a moment

• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I still want people to anticipate. Oh you're talking about Tiger. Yeah,

• 34:04
  Speaker 1: That was crazy. I wasn't expecting for him to even
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: know who I was. That's crazy. Your relationship with Bino
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: did that start after Nip had passed her around that time?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: It was right before, right before I was gonna ask
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you if you ever had any interactions with Nip. I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: met Nip one time at the Racks in the Middle video.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Shit actually oh shit, okay you know Keifa? Yeah, of course. Yeah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: he introduced me to Nip and yeah, I told him
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: like I worked close with Bino. He was like, yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: he already know. I'm locked down with Beno. Damn. That's crazy.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: That's it's terrible that it would have been crazy to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: hear you guys do some sugar man legendary ship. Yeah?
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Who Who's uh? Have you ever? Have you had any
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: artists try to sign you yet? Not like you know
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: how they're There's there's artists that have their situations. A
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: couple of artists as the same already. Did you Are
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you entertaining it or absolutely not? I mean I feel
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: like I'm capable of left, like I said, producing my
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: own sound. I got my team, so it's like I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: don't think I can ever signed to another artist? Is
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it how important is it for you? Like if there's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: an artist into watching this that doesn't that only knows
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: how to do the artist part, the singing, the writing,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Like what's the importance of having all that other shit? Like?
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Is it freedom? Like? What is like? Because you? Because anybody?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like if they really apply themselves, they could
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: learn how to record themselves. You know, they can like
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: mixing and mastering. Those are things you just just watching YouTube. Yeah,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, for one, that's gonna save you money, of course,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and for til you want to just be hands on
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: with your creativity, like when somebody else put a hand
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in it, then it's not one hundred percent of yours
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: no more. Which is not a bad thing to collaborate
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: of course, but I just want to be able to
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: know you know fully. I feel like in twenty twenty man,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: with no touring and shit, a lot of artists need
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: to start. They got to bring their costs down because
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the live show shit is crazy. Like when they costs down, yeah,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: because they't like what features no no? Yeah, well that no.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I mean like there's a lot of artists who depend
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: so much on the road that they might want to
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: learn how to record themselves so they can save some
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: money because the live show game is like it's crazy
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: because you'll probably be back to normal by the time
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna make sense for you to like headline some shit. Man,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I can't wait till I can perform. That's the one
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: thing that I haven't been able to do yet. Just
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: headline my own show. I feel like right now it's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the perfect time. But everything like that right now is
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: like the like, Okay, we got to go to the
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Roxy Glass because he sold it out two days in
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: a row and he's gonna have all the special guests. Yeah,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that is crazy, man, And you know that's like a
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: moment every an LA artist has. They got that Roxy show.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: That's like, yo, you gotta go through that tunnel to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: get to the next level. And then and then you
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: get the Palladium one like a year later. If you
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: if you're do any right thing, I remember that specifically
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: with like that, like that first Rody show was so crazy.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Did you go to that? Nah? Didn't? Yeah? That ship
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: was that ship was like, okay, this is special what
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: with with the coronavirus? Ship has that like personally affected you,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: like any any sort of Like my grandma died from
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that ship, so I passed away from that too. Damn
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: sorry to hear that. Bro. Yeah, man, motherfuckers is really
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: out here on their conspiracy theory ship like it's fake.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, yeah, I take it very serious as well.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, not as far as my workflow, everything been
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: the same because I record at the house anyway, and
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not really out and about like that unless you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: duty calls. But everything been the same. What about like
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the music video shit, like, because it felt like the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: first couple of months people were like kind of scared
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: of you videos. I definitely I turned down by a
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: couple of directors, like early on. Now I feel like
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: it's like fuck it, We're doing it. We're pushing through. Right.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: There was Motherfucker's shooting videos like like g Eaz and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Jack Harlow had a whole entire video that was just
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: people on Skype. I was like, bro, you could have
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: just waited like thirty more days and then everybody would
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: have chilled. Right. I got a video show tomorrow, matter
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: of fact, Oh you do? Yeah? Is it a solo joint?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Something off EP? Which record be alone Fire EP Special
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Man it's it's something that I think is like it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: it's it's like it backed up the hype. You know
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because, like I said, a lot of
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: people talking about you, they just pressed play on that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I get it now. Yeah, that's why
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the response being crazy. Like I've been putting out a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: bunch of songs, singles, and then of course I put
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: out the tape with Beino. But people was anticipating, like
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: what can you yourself? Yeah? So I feel like, yeah,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: like you said, it lived up to it's expectations. Are
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you a smoker man? Nah? No, smoke no? Are you
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: a drinker? Sometimes? Occasionally? What is your vice? My vice?

• 39:20
  Speaker 1: of potion from a wish. It's like somebody trying to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: fucking give me mousey ors and some shit. Bro. No,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: but what's your advice? I don't know. We all got vices, bro.

  Speaker 1: eating late Oh that's everybody walking to my life? You
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: see this belly bro shit. I eat late. I feel
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: like I can't go to sleep unless I eat, which
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is a horrible thing I know. But fuck I mean yeah,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: walking to my life? Yeah, so that I guess that
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: is a vice food. Yeah, I'm a fat fuck Yeah
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that's fair. I mean, at least you didn't say like
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: some kind of weird ass like gory on porn hub
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I have. Come on, man, I don't know, Man, come
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: on you When you said I got a weird one,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, this might get crazy. How
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: many records would you say you have for your album?
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: And is that is this something that we're gonna get
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: next year or towards the end of this year? Nah,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: It's definitely gonna be next year. I really wanted to
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: put out six Tape two before this year ended, but
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: definitely want to put out the Deluxe before that. So, so,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: is this six Tape two you think that's something that's
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: even like possible before the end of the year. Yeah.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: But the only thing for that is like I can't
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: really speak on it entirely because you know, I'm only
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: one half of it, of course, But yeah, if it
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: was up to me, matter of fact, we gonna make
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: it happen. And there you go. You just spoke on both.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Who's another artist that you would love to do like
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: or like just a full collab project with that you
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: have great chemistry with. I wouldn't even want to do
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: a collab tape with anybody else, honestly, that's fire. Yeah,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: nobody else, huh Adele the Adele Tape. I wouldn't even
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: want to do it with a It'll be called like
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: twenty nine or something. I just need like one or
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: two of a just one feature, just one feature, just
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: to give me up out of there one time. Yeah,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: that'd be Yeah, that'd be pretty crazy. What about ghost writing?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Is that something that you writing for other artists? Is
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: that something that people are starting to try to get
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: out you more to do? Or Yeah? I mean I'm
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I've definitely been in a couple riding camps. I actually
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: wrote a song on a new Scooby Doo movie, but uh,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the one that just came out. Yeah, okay, yeah, I
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: watched it co Roll one with Jack Harlowe. Shout out Dvo,

• 42:01
  Speaker 1: starting to Is that like even something you're like interested
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: in doing. Yeah, I definitely like writing for other artists. Yeah, yeah,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like that. That's just the whole other side
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: of the hustle, like yo, your bag on the publishing
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: so I could be bigger than anything else. Nah, it's
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: definitely fire to hear your lyrics no matter what the
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: channel is. What kind of fucking movies were you watching
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: growing up? Like, what's your favorite movie of all time?
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. I'd probably say Hangover. That's number one,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: just just for the simple fact the first time I
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: watched it, it was like the funniest movie. Oh for sure.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: First time you watch Hangover, Yeah, that's like it was
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: a different type of comedy now the first yeah it was.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: It was there was like a lot of shit going
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: on in that movie. Yeah, it was never it was
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: never a dead moment. Hangover is the other movie that
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: was like that for me was Old School? Nah, that
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: one wasn't like that. No, it was funny, but it
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't old school, bro, it's fool. The movie starts with
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: him walking on his wife getting gang bang. Bro, it's
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: fucking crazy, fucking Frank the Tank. And then Friday. When
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: I was a little kid and I first watched Friday,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I remember vividly and I was trying. I thought I
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: was Chris Tucker and for like seven years as a child. Yeah,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: that's a classic. Yeah yeah. Anyway, Well, look, the EP
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: is out. It's called No Love Lost, and I think
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: the deluxe right around the corner. The deluxe is it
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: gonna be like a whole other album, because that's what
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: people are doing now. I'm so confused by the deluxe thing.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I know it's like a way to like stretch your
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: album's selves, but like the Baby dropped ten songs on
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: his like ten new songs, I'm like, bro, that's a
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: fucking album, right, Nah. I mean I don't plan to
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: drop like ten songs because at the end of the day,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: it's still an EP, so it's kind of unconventional I'm
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: doing already because not like like a deluxe to a
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: EP don't even really make sense. Technically. It will be
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: an album then, right, But yeah, I'm just gonna add
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: about like four to five songs, and they probably remix
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of them. So your only vice, I've just
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I just I want to know that you're like a
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: bad person too. Nah, I'm the coolest person ever. I
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: can't do it. Man, you give me some do you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: get like ever gamble or anything. I just feel like
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you're the nicest, sweetest guy I've met in this chair
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: in a long time. We just had a baby here
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: and it was interesting. He was falling asleep. Cool, respectable,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: stand on integrity. I don't do too much out the
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: out the norm. I mean, I mean, obviously do you
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: have your music speak for yourself? But yeah, that's crazy.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: What about it like a not even like a strip club.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I mean I indulge in you know, strip clubs, of course,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: but it's not like I gotta go to the strip club?
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Right Well, hey, you have you subscribed it the only
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: fans accounts? Hell no, none, have you thought about it?
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Because you know you'll be on Instagram and then you'll
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: be like, oh shit, who is this and then you'd
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: be like, oh shit, I could just pay four ninety
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: nine and just see her naked. Right now, what's the
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: point of doing that? No, no no, no, I haven't done
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: it either. I'm just saying like I'm not. I'll try
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to clean it up now. No I haven't. I ain't
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: give no bitches my money. I'm married. No, But like
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm just curious, like, you know, have you
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: thought about it? Because I mean I've obviously thought about it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, this bitch got a only fans. What's
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: the girl's name? Uh hmmm, Rosa Acosta has the only
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: fans the mariage after, I was like, should I give
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: my money to Rosa Acosta? Now it'll come up on
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: the credit card statement and my wife will be like,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: you would you thirteen ninety nine on only fans? What
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the fuck is wrong with you? I couldn't do. You
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: can't write that off on your taxes man, So you're
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: not spending money that you can't write off media research.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: A media research might have to subscribe. And I was playing,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: and you spend some money on them fucking shoes though
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: there's Alexander mcqueens. Them things, those things are not on
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: only fans, but he's got them on the mcqueens. Anyway,
