- 3:54Speaker 2: so you said you've been rapping since you were like like,
- 3:56Speaker 2: how like how old were you when you started?
- 4:01Speaker 1: I'd say fifteen? But I always been liking music.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Though, right, So what was like? Uh the inspiration?
- 4:10Speaker 1: Was it?
- 4:10Speaker 2: Like you were just listening to music writing? Like what
- 4:14Speaker 2: made you want to get into making music.
- 4:17Speaker 1: My father made music and he used to always play
- 4:21Speaker 1: his music when he'll drop me off at school. Oh
- 4:23Speaker 1: so he was a rapper and he wanted no rapper
- 4:26Speaker 1: cause he couldn't drop the music cause he would fighting
- 4:29Speaker 1: cases and he you know what I'm saying.
- 4:30Speaker 2: So, but he was just he had music that he made.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Yeah, he had music that he made and it was
- 4:35Speaker 1: actually hard. So it inspired me. Right, So I'm saying,
- 4:42Speaker 1: you know him with diamonds, you know, fast cards and
- 4:46Speaker 1: a lot of money, you know, big houses, all type
- 4:49Speaker 1: of stuff. So I'm like, I'm looking up to him,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and I seen he not lying in his rock. So
- 4:54Speaker 1: I wanted to rap like him. And then I finally
- 4:57Speaker 1: got the chance to sit down learn how to do
- 5:01Speaker 1: it when there and then when I did it, I
- 5:03Speaker 1: liked it, So I do. I wanted to keep pipping
- 5:06Speaker 1: the keyshit like I wanted to represent the key. You
- 5:09Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, my last name. You feel what
- 5:10Speaker 1: I'm saying. So that's why I say key.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Like, So, your dad was getting money, but not necessarily
- 5:16Speaker 2: from hip hop. He was doing rappers more of like
- 5:18Speaker 2: a hobby.
- 5:20Speaker 1: No, he ain't even he never dropped.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm saying as a hobby. Then yeah, it was a
- 5:24Speaker 2: hobby for.
- 5:24Speaker 1: H Yeah, he did do any for fun, like yeah.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is in Atlanta, So like, was your
- 5:31Speaker 2: pops around any other artists in Atlanta at the time,
- 5:34Speaker 2: Like usually guys like that like have some homies that
- 5:36Speaker 2: are kind of on.
- 5:38Speaker 1: It's something like that. Yeah, something like that.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Something like that. So are you you know coming up
- 5:48Speaker 2: in Atlanta? I feel like it used to be where
- 5:50Speaker 2: you had to kind of pop off through the strip
- 5:53Speaker 2: club circuit. But I feel like with the internet now
- 5:57Speaker 2: that's kind of gone away. Like it's helpful, right if
- 5:59Speaker 2: you catch one it, but it's not necessarily required.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Do you like care about getting your music played to
- 6:05Speaker 2: like Magic City these days? Is that like a thing
- 6:07Speaker 2: you give a fuck about?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Because me partially that's not the music I make, right,
- 6:12Speaker 1: But I still be seeing them play it though, Right,
- 6:16Speaker 1: But it kind of like I don't I just be
- 6:19Speaker 1: popping it.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Are you old enough to get into Magic City?
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I've always been able to.
- 6:25Speaker 2: He's like, I'm Tony, I get wherever the fuck I
- 6:27Speaker 2: want to go.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's just not no conceded ship.
- 6:32Speaker 1: But they gonna they're gonna mess with me if I go.
- 6:34Speaker 1: But I just I'm not a club type nigga.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You know, smart guy, like you said, going to the
- 6:38Speaker 2: club is not very productive.
- 6:40Speaker 1: It doesn't get me. It's not it's not it doesn't
- 6:42Speaker 1: line where I'm trying to be a nick.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you're if you're getting paid, that's
- 6:46Speaker 2: one thing. But if you're just going to go, you're
- 6:48Speaker 2: putting yourself in like harm's way for nothing exact and
- 6:51Speaker 2: then you're gonna spend money.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, So it's pointless to me. And then you know,
- 6:56Speaker 1: I don't really one of the.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Most ridiculous things people can do is go to the
- 6:59Speaker 2: strip club because then you get as an artist, you
- 7:01Speaker 2: become like kind of peer pressured and throwing your money.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Like imagine if you just wanted to go and eat
- 7:07Speaker 2: at Blue Flame or Magic City and you just went
- 7:10Speaker 2: to get food, they would talk shit about you. They'd
- 7:13Speaker 2: be like, man, little Tony came in. He didn't even
- 7:15Speaker 2: throw no money, he just got wings back. Bitch, what
- 7:17Speaker 2: if I'm hungry dog? You know what I'm saying, Like I.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Mean, I don't give a forward gain, you know what
- 7:20Speaker 1: I'm saying.
- 7:20Speaker 2: But you know how it is, Like yeah, and then
- 7:23Speaker 2: you end up throwing three thousand dollars just on like
- 7:26Speaker 2: fuck out of here. You know what I'm saying, Like
- 7:27Speaker 2: you could.
- 7:28Speaker 1: It's just it just don't align with what I got
- 7:31Speaker 1: going on. Like I said, I'm pushing generational success. I'm
- 7:34Speaker 1: trying to learn paperwork and certain stuff that nigga don't
- 7:39Speaker 1: be knowing about. You feel what I'm saying, right, So
- 7:41Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to expand basically.
- 7:43Speaker 2: What sounds like. You kind of came from a background
- 7:45Speaker 2: where your dad was pretty successful, right, so you were
- 7:47Speaker 2: able to kind of pribably see a lot of you
- 7:50Speaker 2: know what it was, us.
- 7:51Speaker 1: And downs and everything. Yeah. So and then on top
- 7:54Speaker 1: of that, I will bless the ugh to also get
- 7:57Speaker 1: signed before all at eighteen, So I was rich before
- 8:00Speaker 1: I was eighteen. Well, as soon as I turned eighteen,
- 8:02Speaker 1: I signed, you, feel what I'm saying. Right before I
- 8:04Speaker 1: even became twenty one, twenty one on R you already
- 8:07Speaker 1: got money in your pocket exactly. So I've always just
- 8:11Speaker 1: been trying to outdo myself.
- 8:13Speaker 2: What were the things you did with your first bag
- 8:17Speaker 2: when you signed? Because a lot of a lot of
- 8:19Speaker 2: eighteen year olds would probably you know.
- 8:22Speaker 1: The same shit everybody do. Fuck it up. I ain't
- 8:24Speaker 1: gonna lie. I got. I gave my dad on home
- 8:28Speaker 1: the thousand, gave my grandma thirty thousand. Then I went
- 8:32Speaker 1: and bought me a car. I cashed out my fault.

- 9:10Speaker 1: hundreds for like child sport or something like that. You
- 9:13Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Yeah, stuff like that. And then
- 9:17Speaker 1: after that I just kept buying guns and stupid shit
- 9:20Speaker 1: like that, you know what I'm saying.

- 15:27Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't have features on the original, right,
- 15:29Speaker 2: I got?
- 15:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, I got, Actually no, I don't. So
- 15:34Speaker 1: who's on the deluxe Nino paid h and the nickname
- 15:41Speaker 1: Rocket and my artist, PC of Man.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Man, So you have a label sign an artist? Yeah,
- 15:52Speaker 2: let's see you are you? Because at the end of
- 15:56Speaker 2: the day, it's a big responsibility to sign somebody, right,
- 16:00Speaker 2: kind of like semi responsible for their success. Yeah, it's
- 16:04Speaker 2: a big responsibility.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Man.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Have you ran into any like headaches when it comes
- 16:09Speaker 2: to doing the label thing yet?
- 16:10Speaker 1: I mean only twenty so yeah, yeah, most definitely. I
- 16:14Speaker 1: mean just like what you say, man, you want when
- 16:17Speaker 1: you want good for a nigga, they don't want good
- 16:19Speaker 1: for theirself. That be a be a discrepancy, you know,
- 16:23Speaker 1: But when they have a good potential to kind of
- 16:26Speaker 1: be frustrating. You feel what I'm saying because you'll see
- 16:29Speaker 1: something in the nigga that they don't see themselves. Yeah,
- 16:32Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying, or you'll want it for
- 16:35Speaker 1: them want it. Where my problem has or issues I've
- 16:39Speaker 1: run into, is seeing the potential in the nigga, helping
- 16:43Speaker 1: them out, but helping them out before they realize their potentially.
- 16:50Speaker 1: You doe know what I'm saying, right, So I'm giving
- 16:52Speaker 1: them a platform before they understand how for they really
- 17:00Speaker 1: they really understand how how big this this opportunity is.
- 17:03Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They don't really understand how
- 17:05Speaker 1: big opportunity be, so they get on and play with it.
- 17:09Speaker 1: But that well, you know niggas that have to live
- 17:12Speaker 1: and learn from shit like that.
- 17:13Speaker 2: And then you can't you can't want it more than
- 17:15Speaker 2: they want it, you know what i mean.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Yeah, But that's where that'll be. That'd be why sometimes
- 17:22Speaker 1: you'll see artists will come up and not really go
- 17:27Speaker 1: for real because they don't be hungry. They don't want
- 17:30Speaker 1: it for real, you know what I'm saying. And that's
- 17:32Speaker 1: how you'll see some somebody try to bring up artists
- 17:35Speaker 1: and they artists don't do what they do. Because the
- 17:38Speaker 1: artists might have talent, but they might don't want it
- 17:41Speaker 1: for real, or they might have an attitude, or it
- 17:42Speaker 1: might be some shit going on in the background.
- 17:44Speaker 2: It's like a very small part of Obviously, you gotta
- 17:47Speaker 2: have some talent, right, you gotta make music the marketplace
- 17:49Speaker 2: once they hear. But you also have to have like
- 17:51Speaker 2: all of the other ship almost more because there's some shitty,
- 17:56Speaker 2: shitty music that's cracking because the artists be grinding. Yeah,
- 18:00Speaker 2: and like everything is subjective, you know, but no, for.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Sure, talent is a quiet taste though. You know what
- 18:05Speaker 1: I'm saying. Every everything subjective. So what I think is
- 18:08Speaker 1: good or whatever? You know what I mean exactly that's fair.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Damn. Yeah. So you said that your your your mission
- 18:15Speaker 2: is like kind of more trying to like be on
- 18:17Speaker 2: the entrepreneurial side. You figure out, you know, paperwork ship,
- 18:21Speaker 2: are you investing in anything? What are you doing with
- 18:23Speaker 2: what your uh, what's your extra income? Man?
- 18:27Speaker 1: I can't put you on with that right now. I
- 18:29Speaker 1: can't put niggas on. But get what do what I
- 18:31Speaker 1: will say, I gotta I got a mentor you know
- 18:36Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I gotta financial advis and a mentor,
- 18:40Speaker 1: and I just been learning. I got my credit together
- 18:44Speaker 1: if you haven't, all of your niggas out there and
- 18:46Speaker 1: make sure y'all boy get you all credit together.
- 18:48Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, you gotta have good credit, man.
- 18:49Speaker 1: And really, what I do is I just be living
- 18:52Speaker 1: on credit. I live. I live for free Cone spens paper.
- 18:55Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying.
- 18:56Speaker 2: So, so do you? You like have like an AMX,
- 19:00Speaker 2: just run it up, pay off.
- 19:01Speaker 1: The zero exactly so you know, I get rap chests,
- 19:04Speaker 1: so I get I get rap chests, you know what
- 19:05Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I might get paid X, Y and Z.
- 19:11Speaker 1: I might have a credit card that has a balance
- 19:14Speaker 1: of ten thousands. You feel what I'm saying. Okay, Well,
- 19:17Speaker 1: I don't spend ten thousand in a month, right, I
- 19:20Speaker 1: don't do nothing for real. I might buy a fit
- 19:22Speaker 1: for a video, right, and I might shoot four videos
- 19:25Speaker 1: in a month. You feel what I'm saying. One of
- 19:27Speaker 1: my fits might be filteen on it. You know what
- 19:30Speaker 1: I'm saying, That's not too much. Besides that I go
- 19:34Speaker 1: out and eat and I pay for gas and I
- 19:37Speaker 1: pay my bills. You feel what I'm saying. So Okay,
- 19:40Speaker 1: I know how much I'm gonna spend this month. I
- 19:42Speaker 1: get that times four on a rap check, So I save,
- 19:50Speaker 1: I save, I pay the bills off, and then I
- 19:52Speaker 1: just put the rest up so it should be profit
- 19:55Speaker 1: every month. So I'm making fifty seventy thousand dollars profit
- 19:59Speaker 1: every month, you feel, I'm saying, because all I'm doing
- 20:01Speaker 1: it to live and off the credit that they give me.
- 20:03Speaker 1: You feel, I'm saying, So your credit.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Cause, yeah, and then you pay the zero every month.
- 20:06Speaker 2: That's the thing. You gotta be disciplined because you don't
- 20:08Speaker 2: pay the zero.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Make sure y'all need to be disciplined. I get money,
- 20:10Speaker 1: and what I'm saying is I get the money to
- 20:12Speaker 1: pay my credit cause off, you use.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Your credit card to live on, but you pay the
- 20:16Speaker 2: zero every month, build your credit score, and then you
- 20:18Speaker 2: get all the benefits to points. Then you you know, fuck,
- 20:22Speaker 2: I just went on like a seven day vacation for free,
- 20:25Speaker 2: exactly off of them points. You know what I mean.
- 20:28Speaker 2: But the problem is most people get those credit cards
- 20:33Speaker 2: and they live beyond their means, and then they end
- 20:37Speaker 2: up racking up that debt because it's like twenty eight
- 20:39Speaker 2: percent interest rate and then they be all fucked up.
- 20:42Speaker 2: It's like, now, get you're getting this because you would
- 20:44Speaker 2: rather use this than your debit card, because there's benefits
- 20:47Speaker 2: off you use this. Plus, if you ever a debit.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Card is a hard debit carse or shit.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Well that's what I'm saying. If a debit card, like,
- 20:55Speaker 2: if some fraud happens with their debit card, it's a
- 20:56Speaker 2: lot harder to get your bread bag. If some fraud
- 20:58Speaker 2: happens with your credit card, they'll just give you that
- 21:00Speaker 2: your back, like right away, because it's not even your money,
- 21:02Speaker 2: so it's not coming out of your account, I mean exactly. So, yeah,
- 21:06Speaker 2: that's smart man, you got to figure it out. You're
- 21:08Speaker 2: doing anything with Krypto.
- 21:10Speaker 1: I don't know nothing bad. It too heavy yet, run away, runaway,
- 21:13Speaker 1: I ain't trying to fuck Yeah, smart guys, that.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Should be you think you got to figure it out.

- 21:25Speaker 1: be smart man. Good good, stay out of the sports
- 21:28Speaker 1: betting too good. All that price picks, all that ship

- 21:36Speaker 1: getting into real estate, smart. I want to build my
- 21:38Speaker 1: own apartment complets.
- 21:41Speaker 2: That's good.
- 21:42Speaker 1: That's all I'm really looking forward to. Right, besides that,
