  Speaker 1: you know, born and raised growing, you know, I was
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: born in Inglewood, California, brought to a street called Converse,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: which that's my block there. We basically turned into our
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: block basically, and it's uh, it's it's in Florence area,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that's that's where I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was basically raised at. That's why you see I got
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a Converse All Star on my hand, because literally an
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: All Star from the block. You know, certain that only
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a couple of us have that in and out of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the system. Let's get that mic right here in the middle.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's just so we can get make sure in and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: out of the system, you know, back and forth dealing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with you know, whatever came with me being in that area,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: growing up in that area and part of you know
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: what I mean, the gang and stuff like that. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: was back and forth in jail, but I made the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: best out of it, you know, after several years of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: being in and out of the system. I just decided to,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know, go fly the right way and try to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: make something of myself that at the end of the day,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's not you know, nothing negative, it's turning the negative
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: into a positive. Basically with my music, do you well?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: First of all, when was the last Like when did
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you get out last? So originally I parode from the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: federal system in two thousand and eleven, close to twenty twelve,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I was dealing with probation. Probation was real hard for
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: me because I had people giving me record deals and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that I couldn't sign because of the probation. The probation
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let me sign anything that wasn't like somebody saying, hey,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: here's fifty thousand dollars, we're gonna put you to work
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: in the studio. He's like, you know, I've had several
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: people come through this through through here and basically say, oh,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I got a record deal. Oh, but if they're not
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: offering money, because a lot of those record deals were saying, hey,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna attempt to make money with with you with you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So with that, he was like, you know, I've had
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of that going on, and where I went
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to the studios and I pull up and it's just
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes smoking weed. They're not recording, So okay,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I you know, I had to roll with the punches
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and deal with that probation. And the only way I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was gonna be able to get off that probation was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: me doing violations to get it done faster. And that's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what I did because I couldn't travel, couldn't leave. You know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it was just one It was a one track thing
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: for me. And if I didn't have a studio or
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a label paying me, then I had to have a job.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So I had to go with the whole job thing
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for a little while, and it was just you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it was it was rough, if it wasn't easy. How
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: long ago did you get off probation? I got off probation.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I want to say two thousand and sixteen. It's crazy
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: because I feel like they, you know, if you're out
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to make something of yourself, like that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: probation is kind of like it's kind of like an
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: invisible jail, right, Like it's a way to keep you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in the system. Like it definitely held me back from
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a lot. You know, there was so many opportunities that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: had risen and that were presented to me that I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to capitalize on, and I wasn't able to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: jump on, you know what I'm saying. And it's like
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: where when we're sitting here trying to get something positive done,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like I feel like that should be allowed, you know
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: what I mean, That should be respected and appreciated rather
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: than to trying to keep you in that that hole
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that you just climbed out of, you know, by me
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: getting off probation, I felt like I climbed out of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a hole, you know, because it took so long. It
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: was you know, bobbing and weaving and still having one
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: foot in and one foot out. Music can still be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on the streets. Like that was not easy at all
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: over overall, like over your life. How many years were
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you incarcerated? Man? I got locked up when I was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: thirteen years old, and you know, in and out I'd
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: say it just oh man, from thirteen to well fifteen
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and then from sixteen to eighteen,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and then from eighteen to twenty four, from twenty four
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: till I was thirty two, I believe, or something like that,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Like it just was I gave them a lot of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: years of my life, you know what I mean. It's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: hard for me to just say one number only because
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I did do small violations in between six months here,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: three months, they're eight months. They're like, you know, it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just hard to calculate all of that unless you sit
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: down and really say, hey, and which there's dates that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I was in the system that I don't even remember.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: That's crazy because it was so much, you know, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: just I was flipping calend Yo. It's crazy because, uh,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: both of my cousins who one of them still in prison,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: one of us pass away, they had the calendar tattoos
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: all the years. Yeah. I never did that because I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: would have had that going down my whole arm. That's crazy,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I would have needed more
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: room for that, Like I just anyway, Yeah, you're right.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I mean I got a little bit of room like
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on my legs and stuff. Other than that, my body's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: filled up back chess face as you gotta see, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you know, with the prison thing, like obviously you know
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: there's different politics in prison than outside of prison. Would
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you say, is that accurate? You know? I feel like
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: everywhere you go, you know, you step on the metro,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: they have rules, you know what I mean, you step
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: on a bus in the street, they have rule. Everywhere
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you go, You're gonna deal with rules. That's just part
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of the part of life. You know. When you get
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to where you're going, you figure out what's going on.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And that's basically how we roll. You know what I'm saying.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: It's like, I don't. I don't really how can I explain.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I don't like practice or you know, any of that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I just wherever I get to I'm at, I basically,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you know, try to roll with the punches and roll
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with what's going on and just go the right direction,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: just fly a straight kite, you know. Would you say like,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: because you know there's I feel like when you're locked up,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: when you're incarcerated, usually there's like every group of people
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: has like a shot caller, somebody kind of helps, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: maybe kind of navigate who's who's coming in, who's coming out,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: like help navigate the politics and situations on the yard.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Was that ever a position that you were in, I mean,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I don't. I wouldn't say that. I usually, like I said,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to drive no airplane and shit I'm
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a passenger and I'm just you know, trying to get
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to our destination properly. And that's about it. That's fair.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: That's fair. You know, when we think about prison, I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: wass here would hear crazy stories about riots going on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in prison? Like when were you ever a part of
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: any of the or witness any of that stuff? All
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of that comes along with, you know, you being incarcerated.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You don't even gotta go look for it. It's gonna
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: find you, you know, it definitely find you. You know
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of times. So I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: started off going to a level three prison, which level
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: two's and level ones are a little bit lighter on everything.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Level threes and level fours are a little bit higher
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: on you know, respect level, just you know, just different things.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: So while I was there in the level three prison,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of people would say, hey, look,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: if your points don't go up, you're gonna get sent
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to like a level two or a level one, which
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna like being the fact that you already
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: started in a higher prison where the respect level is
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: much higher, where you know, there's a lot more going on.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So points just so what do you mean points? So
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: we there's a point system while you're incarcerated. It's like,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: if you do good, your points drop, so you go
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to a different jail. Yeah, they'll send you to somewhere
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: else and then like a less security, like a lower
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: security or whatnot. If your if your points go higher,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: then you go to a higher security, or you stay
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: where you're at, depending on their their like their way
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of monitoring your points. So my points were gonna drop
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: because I hadn't gotten no you know, right ups. No,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't gotten in trouble. So a lot of people
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: were like, you might want to, you know, spike up
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: your points, get a little right up for this, get
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a little right up for that. And then I had
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: an older homie that came up to me and told
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: me straight up, he said, don't go jack up your points.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's gonna come to you when you least expect it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You don't need to are gonna come, don't even look
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: for it. So and they did. I started getting right
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: ups for fucking alcohol and I don't even drink. Start
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: getting right up for this that dad getting caught knives,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Like just if all that stuff came on its own,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't have to go look for it. So the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: idea of like one like like not your make yourself,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but the idea of your peers of getting your points
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: higher to stay where you're at, is that based on
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: just like, Hey, you're already here, you're already established, you're
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: comfortable or comfortable. You know, if you go to a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: new prison, you might need to hit reset on start
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: over network and everywhere you go. Like I said, it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a different differ, it's a different ball game. And like
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I said, that they want you somewhere where. Of course,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: anybody in general, not just me or any of my
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: friends or anybody in general, would love respect more than
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: someone that's being disrespectful or you know what I'm saying.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So in those places, the higher levels of prisons, there's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: more respect. That's fair. I don't know. Did you see
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: recently Whack was on Clubhouse talking about how you would
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: never sign a Southsider? Did you see that? I heard
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: about it, and I didn't really pay too much attention
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to it. I talked to him about it a bit,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and he was just like, you know, I obviously have
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Mexicans I signed. He's like, but I was locked up
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: for X amount of years, and you know we were
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: at war, and like I couldn't sign the South Side
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: or because my comrades that are still incarcerated will look
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: at me a certain way. Was that like, like, is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that something that as you know? Because I feel like
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I guess I never I didn't grow up in La
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so I guess like the beef between Blacks and Mexicans
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was something I never really witnessed because it was never
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: something that happened in Phoenix where I'm from. Right, But
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: how serious like in prison, Like you guys are enemies, right,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I mean in prison there's a whole rules. Nobody is
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: really your enemy, and you know what I mean, It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: just things happen while you're in there. And they could
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: be with the officers, it could be with another race,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it can be with whoever. It's just not one certain
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: crowd that you don't like and wake up and say, hey,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I hate these people. Because if you hate somebody, they're
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: right across the day room from you. You can go
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: get them. There's no I hate them, but they can
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: stay on their side of the day room. I'll stay
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: on myself. It don't work like that. If I hate somebody,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I'm coming for you. You know what I mean and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: as far as what you know, Whack one hundred said,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel like every man has their own opinion,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: or every man has their own choice. If that's what
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: he chooses, that's his opinion, so be it. You know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: there's people from our side, you know, Hispanics that don't
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like blacks, and that's their decision, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that's their opinion. It's just all it's just all part
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of you know, being a man and taking these these
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: these like how can I say, like stop taking everything
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to the heart man, you know what I'm saying, at
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, just roll with whatever's going on.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And do you do you feel do you feel like
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it was hard for you at any point in time
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to like leave behind that prison mind state, maybe like
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: leave behind some of the ideas in the politics of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: going to being locked up in a position that you're
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in and like and then also get out be a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: free man, try to stay on the right track and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: also succeed in as an as an artist. Well, it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: always hard being the fact that, you know, one thing
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I can't give up is my homies. I love my homies,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: you know, and I still you know, associate, communicate, whatever
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you want to call it. With some of them that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: are family, basically they grew to be family over the years.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: It's like it's not about us going to go look
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and try to find an enemy now or oh it's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: us trying to sell drugs now. Like now, it's just
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: say what's up, my boy? How you doing? Oh? Look today,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I did this, I did this music, I did that. So,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like the good thing about my homies is they respect
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing. They appreciate what I'm doing, and you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: they still got love for me. They haven't switched up.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: They haven't, you know, basically like I've seen other you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: artists that are from certain gangs that they can't go
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to their neighborhood because their homies don't fuck with them
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: like that. You know what I mean. My homies do
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and that's a blessing, you know what I mean. And
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: they see what I'm doing, they see that I'm doing
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: something positive and they respect it. What would be your advice, Right,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Let's say you're talking to a kid who's from where
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you're from and then getting mixed up and some shit
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that maybe you got mixed up in, and you kind
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of made that mistake. First, how would you advise somebody
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to try to like avoid kind of made doing some
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of the things that you did that you know, right?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I all I can do
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is give my advice and give my you know, incentitive
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: on what can happen if they lead and going that route.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's their choice to make. I can't make
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the choice for them, and I'm going to respect whatever
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it is they decide to do. I'm not gonna sit
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: there and nag or try to preach or cause it
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: took me a lot to get to where where I'm
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: at in my mind state. It wasn't overnight, and it
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't somebody just telling me, hey, if you take that road,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: this is gonna you know, I heard that so many
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: times and I just it went in one ear came
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: out the other. I just kept going going for what
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I knew. That's straight, that's real. How long have you
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: actually been rapping, like writing rapping? Like how long have
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you actually been like kind of applying yourself to being
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: just a writer? Right? So I started young, like with
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: with like I love music. So I started, you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: when I was thirteen years old before I started going
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to jail and stuff. Like I would go to like
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: my neighborhood parties and grab the mic and you know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a certain part of a beat, like a bounced rock
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: skate beat, the old school beat. I would just sit
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: there and you know, rap about neighborhood stuff and gangs
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. And I had the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: crowd of the people dancing. So I'm sitting there like, okay,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like they really feeling this, like you know what I mean,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Like I'm really they're not just sitting here laughing at them, motherfucker,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: or else they wouldn't even be sitting there trying to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: dance or bobbing their heads to it, like they would
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: have been laughing like you know. So I felt that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they you know, they gave me that motivation to keep
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: pushing and keep going with it. And like I said,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: so much time in the system that you know, when
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I would get somewhere, it's like say, if I write
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a dig kick off on the yard, then we get
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: locked down. So all that time locked down, I'll sit
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and write music, you know, write music. I'll work out,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: bird bath, do whatever it is to get through that day.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But at least an hour or two hours rocatered to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: my writing. You know, I didn't stop when I came home.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I had six years or five or six years of notebooks,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: notebooks filled up. I still have them that I haven't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: touched that you started anything from there. I got hooks,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I got you know, versus twelve bars, eight bar, sixteen
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: bar verses like I got music for days in that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: folder and then folders. And when I came home, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: learned how to use the phone to write my lyrics.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: So I just pushed that aside and said, okay, cool,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I could do it off of here. Now. I got
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: one hundred and one hundred and twenty songs plus that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: ain't been released that I just got sitting there, Like,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of music. You know, you mentioned
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a bird bath. What's the bird bath? Bordbeth is when
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to go take a real shower cause
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they're because you know, you can't come out of your cell.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So you got a shower with that sink and that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: toilet that you got right there, you know what I mean.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: You put towels towards the door kind of stopped the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: water from going out onto the tier because nobody likes
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: water on your tier. You know what I'm saying. People
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: try to fish, people try to walk through there. They
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: can't because there's a puddle of water and soap, which
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is nasty. It's all your dirt water, you know what
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: i mean. So you you know, you put up the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: towels a certain way to where you see which way
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the water goes. If the water comes this way, you
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: make sure that part is blocked in so the water
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: stays in your cell you know. You put up a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: sheet or blanket whatever it is to cover your celly
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: so your celly ain't watching. You wash your ass, you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. Of course, soap up, you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: throw you get a cup water, you know, pour water
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: all over yourself. Soap up whatever you can. And the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: same thing. You fill up your sink where you put
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a little piece of maybe I don't know, an envelope
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: or whatever that it'll hold the little hose down so
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the water don't go down. Fill up the sink with
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the water. Then you just dunking your cup and just
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: pouring it over yourself. You make sure you shower. It's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a shower, but it's called a bird bath, you know
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Then after that you get your your towels,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you pick up all that dirt water and just wring
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it all out into your toilet. You know, it's it's
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it's a little hassle, but once you learn how to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: do it, and they're refreshing, you know what I mean.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You're clean. You can lay back on your bed and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: smell good, like you know, and you would do that
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: only if you were under lockdown, right, which a lot
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of the times we were, so sometimes that was almost
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: every day because I think they'll give you a shower
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: like every seventy two hours, seventy two hours, like seventy
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: two hours, and it's like, I'm not gonna sit there
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and wait for those seventy two hours. I'm gonna shower. Yeah. Yeah,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: especially if you've got a cell mates to work and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you're working that out, like you know, that's why you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: get that program. You clean your cell you know, one
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: day he cleaned it, one day. I clean it one
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: day he like, you know, we take turns and shit,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and it's it's like I said, the respect level is
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a lot better when you're in you know, places like that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: What happens if you get a cell mate and it
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't work out, You don't get along with them. Is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it like like what happens? Then it's like a forced roommate.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: You can't even vet the guy like you know what
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I mean. It all depends, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: There's certain ways of going about it and getting you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: your rooms moved around, and you know what I'm saying,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you put with somebody you're a little bit more compatible with,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: or somebody you know from the streets. Like myself, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: kind of refra rained from having my own homies in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the cell because I felt like, you know, after a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: little while, your own homies get comfortable, you know what
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like they know you from the streets, they
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: love you, and it's like they get real comfortable whatever
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: it is, you know. So I kind of just so
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that we could keep that same love and same respect,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Like I selled up with other dudes that you know
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: what I mean, I didn't know like that, So that
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: way the respect stays stays there. That's interesting, you know.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So the last time you got out, what was for you,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: like the I guess the thing that changed where you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: really focused on staying out for good and focusing on
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the music shit like full time. So the first time
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I told a couple of people before the first time
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I came home was in two thousand and five. That
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: was from the state prison. And when I came home,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I had to I had just did close to six years.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I came home and I told myself, Hey, whatever it
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: takes to get some to get paid, do it. You
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Whatever you need to do, get
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: this bread, go get it. So I did. But I
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: did that, like I told myself, legal or illegally. So yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, when you say whatever it takes, it
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: didn't matter, you know. So I was running around acting
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: a fool, getting money, you know, on the streets. But
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it was not legit, you know what I'm saying. I was.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I was acting a fool, like I said. So I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: seen that I was able to do that, and I
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: went back to the system. I went back to the FED.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You end up, you ended up getting caught up for
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the ways you were getting money. Why did you get
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: like what you get caught up? I got. I got
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: caught up on a on a Rico recordeeron extors in
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy case, and w ended up going to the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: FEDS and ship you know for phone calls, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: talking about though whatever. You know what I'm saying, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: ended up getting caught up. Anyways, after that, you know,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: now I'm sitting in you know, federal federal custody U
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: doing my bed and telling myself in my mind, if
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I told myself the first time that I'm going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: get out and get paid, no matter what it, I'm
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: gonna get it, and I did that, I said, maybe
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I could do that again, but righteously the right way.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out, get money, get paid, legitly do
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: my music, and just go as hard as I went
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: back then. Now but with this and hey, did it again?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about because I feel like people
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: would pay you to come and speak to them, right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could be like a motivational speaker man,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like I always see like there's like motivational
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: speakers who have crazy backgrounds. You could go speak at conventions,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you can speak at leadership shit like I feel like
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you got a crazy story. I actually did that a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: little bit. I did that a little bit with a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: company that I worked for when I first came home
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: from the FATS. They had me going to like schools
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and talking to the kids and it was funny because
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of the teachers would sit there
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and look at me like, oh shit, who are we
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: bringing into our school? But when I leave, those kids
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: would be asking for me. They would get at you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: my boss where I worked at and ask him, Hey,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: is he coming back. The teachers would be like, we
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: need him back because now this kid that didn't listen
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: to me for all these years is listening to me
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and now this like they really enjoyed what I brought
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to the table. And funny that I ended up catching
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the violation through my probation officer that you know went
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and said that, oh, I made an album while I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: was on probation, which I shouldn't have done, the Baldacci Code,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: which is my album. Well, you weren't even allowed to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: record nah, because he said that when did you get
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the time to go record that? When you're supposed to
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: be at work, when you're supposed to be this, when
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: you don't have money for this or you don't have
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: money for that. Like I came home and my music
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: carried the money, like I didn't need to have money.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: People were hitting me up, hey, come record at our studio.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: We got you. You don't got to pay nothing like
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that type of shit. That's what they didn't understand. He
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: was looking at my social media and like, you got
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a bent lee on your last post, you got money
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: to pay for these these house arrests or this. Dad. Like,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, that's not my bingley. And once you
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: see that, you know, once you look at that and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: picture that like that, you're you're turning into a fan, bro,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, Like this is just
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: part of y I you know what I mean, Like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: this is what you're This is what also people are.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: You can record at home in your closet for fucking right,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: three hundred dollars a guitar center right, And he didn't
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: understand that, you know, I had to kind of explain
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to him. So he finally took me to jail for that,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and took me to jail for being with my son's
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: mom because she was on a federal custody as well.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But when we got there, she was pregnant. My judge
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, what is he here for. He's like, oh,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you know, he's here for the violation for recording this
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: album and talking about gang stuff and murders and whatever.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: He thought that I was talking about. He just put
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: his little concoction of stuff in his brain, right, Oh,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: he's this is what he's talking about. Then he said, oh,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: he's also in violation for being with the kid's mom
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: or my pregnant baby mom, and for missing a drug test.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So those were the three things that I was there for.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: She kicked out two of them. She kicked out the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: main CD album thing, she kicked out the baby mama thing,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and all she left me was the mister drug test.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: He asked for a year added to my probation and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a year more in custody. He wanted me to go
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: back to jail. So she said, you know what, I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: have twenty seven letters from teachers and from all these
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: people saying how he's such a good guy and how
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: he's doing so well with hisself. Should I believe the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: twenty seven letters of people or should I believe you?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Like She's like, I'm kind of like struggling to see
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: who I'm gonna believe. And also I believe it was
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a comment on social media that Kamala Harris had left.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: She left to comment on your social media, not exactly mine,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: but the people that were like that, I worked for before.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: They put up a post of me going to speak
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: to the kids, and she left the comment like saying
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that's great or that's awesome or something. So you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of course they screenshoted. They used that towards my advantage
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: as well. She seen that she ended the time that
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the This was before she's the attorney
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: general or this the attorney or some I don't think
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: she was what she is now right right, Well, she
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: definitely wasn't vice president, but at amportant time, I think
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: she was attorney. Yeah. I think that's when she was
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: attorney tenal or something like that. So they say she
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: locked up a lot of people. Yeah that's crazy. Yeah
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: so she I mean it helped me in a sense though.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: That's great going forward. You know, the judge, she was
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a sister, you know what I mean. So she was cool.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: She was actually taking the time to read. She actually
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: applied herself to all of the information. She real like
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: some judges would just look at the probation officer, look
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: at me. Yeah this guy, Yeah, I don't care what
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you say. You got going like you're gone. So that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: helped me and instead of giving me a year in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: custody and a year added to my time. She gave
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: me ninety days in custody and termination of probation, so
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that kind of was a blessing. It was the best.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Could you'd rather go knock that three months and then
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: we'll do this. They're free, no reading the book? Yeah
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: what I mean, like, I'm not even tripping. And and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: that helped me because you know, I went and did it,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and when I came home, I didn't have no tail,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: no worries. You know what's up? Y'all got to interrupt

• 29:27
  Speaker 1: For three years bro of probation, well actually four years
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of probation, I wasn't able to smoke weed, and that's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: my thing. I smoke what like, I'm a fucking weedhead,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: you know, so I had to, you know, compromise. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: was smoking spice. Oh that' shit's dangerous. Bro. I would
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: pass the blunts of people and they would pass out
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: right next to me that I grabbed my blunt back
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and keep smoking. You were smoking spice, like how often
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: thirty blunts a day? Bro of spice? Spice? Thirty blunts
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a day. That's where they were around me. My brother,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: he'll tell you, did you have any episodes on that?
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I did, but not to where it freaked me out
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: completely because I already seen what it was doing to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: everybody else. So when it'll hit me in that little
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: weird state, I just kind of ride it out and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: just sit there and wait and be like, what what
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: is that weird state feel like? Because I think we
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: think of spice, it's like an adrenaline when we think
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of the guy in Miami who fucking was wild out
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and you bite somebody. Yeah, I ain't never get no,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but like, like, what's like the craziest spice? Like, what
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: is that? What is that? It's just a crazy adrenaline
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that I got while I was, you know, smoking. I've
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: been with some of my homies and we're smoking and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: my homies get a whole picture in their head like
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: they're about to kill us, take me home type shit,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, bro, we're good. We have the gas station,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like we're just gonna get gas, don't trip, and I'm tripping.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I'm tripping type shit. So I know it affected different people.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Majority of the people that it did affect while I
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was with them, their first and instant, like, their first
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: thing that came to mind was I'm gonna die. They
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: would always grab their head and oh my god, I'm
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: about to die, and I'm like, bro, you're not just chill,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You never felt that way.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I got to word. I mean, you were day man.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: So I built a hell of a coma. You're still here,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: but thank god, man, And everywhere in neighborhoods that I'm
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be in standing in line trying to
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: buy spice to where the dudes will come in and
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: be like you from Florence and I'm like, yeah, you know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be right, like, yeah, I'm just
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: gonna get something from the store real quick. I'm good. Like.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So you were like seeking out spice everywhere, no matter
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: where you had to go type shit. And it was
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: funny because it started becoming illegal. So you go to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: one little smoke shop like, oh, we don't got it
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: no more. But you could go two blocks to the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: right and make eleven where is right there? And you're like, oh,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: on my way. Like, you know people who got locked up.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: A smoke shop owner in Arizona got locked up because
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: he was I think he was like one of the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: distributors of that shit. A lot of people I know
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: who are like in that industry got got hit with
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: some serious charges and that dude had to go to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: jail for a few years over spice. Bro, I've seen
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: people just take a hit and just start having a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: seizure right next to me. Bro, I'm like, what the hell. Yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of like I guess in
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the nineties when people were doing angel dusts right right.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And it's funny that it light's basically like the same,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: like it flames of It's something that whatever chemicals it
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: was that they were putting in there, they're not good
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: for people. And on the bag and the packaging it
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: says not for human consumption. That's what a lot of
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: people will get mad at me about, like you're reading that,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: what are you still doing? You know? But I'm like,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I can't smoke weed. This is the closest I get
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to week because nine out of ten times that I
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: smoked that blunt. It makes me feel like I'm high,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: like I smoked the blunt wheat. Wow, the spice. That's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: fucking crazy. And then they're notting you for spice. No,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I don't come out, don't come out on your test.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: So after all that was done, you know, I got
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: off probation, I went straight back to weed immediately cut
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the other bullshit away. And you know, did you ever
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: were you ever involved in any other drugs? Like, did
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you ever have any any errors where you were anything
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: When I was younger, you know what I'm saying. I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: tried stuff. I tried smoking primos, I tried all the
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: little all the little bullshit, you know what I mean.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: But it's just nothing never stuck with me. Nothing never
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: caught my attention like that. And I just you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: that's not mean. I know some people like well go
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to go to prison and like because of the time
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: or because of boredom or whatever, they pick up like heroin,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and kind of it happens. It happens. You know, I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: myself chose not to. I'm the type of person that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: if I like something, I like and I'll keep doing it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to even test myself like that,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you know. So I'm happy that I like weed because
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing that, you know what I mean?
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Real quick, my dad's called me six times in a row.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my dad's got COVID. Oh I call you, well,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Papa's got COVID. That's my dad. Anyway, we're talking about spice. Yo,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: help me understand something because something that I had zero
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: well now I wouldn't say zero clue about, but after
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I moved to La I guess I was lightly put
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: on my radar about like something I really didn't know
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: much about because I always would hear about our Mexicans
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: from from northern California and Mexicans from southern California and
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this huge beef what's it Northan's And yeah, what is what? That's? Like?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Kind of break that down for me, man, because I'm
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: not very like I think a lot of people might
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: hear about that. But if they're watching this, this it's
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: pretty crazy, Like it's like a serious thing, right. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, everybody has their own side
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: where they grew up, you know what I'm saying. They
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: grew up in a certain part of California. We grew
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: up in a certain part of California, simple as that.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: It's like no other way really to explain it is.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: So if a Northern California Mexican gets locked up in
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: southern California, do they have to go to like PC
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: yard or are they or is it bad for them?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like every everything else, you know what
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like when you get put in a
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: position where you can't do anything about what you're going.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that the stop officers that make their calls
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: on whatever, they you know what I'm saying, whatever they
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: choose to decide, they know where people belong and where
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: they don't, you know what I mean. That's crazy. And
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: do those politics spill outside of prison? Bro? I'mna be
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: honest with you, there's so much like stuff that has
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: changed over the years that I haven't been in the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: system to kind of understand with the latest answer to
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that like that, you know what I mean. Like it's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: just it's a life of you know, constant, constant moving
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and you know what i mean, just like I said earlier,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: just got to roll with the punches and whatever's going
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: on is what's going on, you know what i mean?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: It's like we just adapt basically. You know, right, when
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: did you first start getting the tattoo in your face?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: In your head? Man? Because some of these tattoos look
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: do some of them look very very old? Right? Right?
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I was when I first got I had got a
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: F thirteen on my chin when I was like, right
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: before I went to juvenile Hall, I was about thirteen
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: years old. I put a F thirteen with a LA
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: on top of my chin. I had that I was.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I went to that before I started tattooing, like my
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: whole body, like I still had some tatto on my body,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: but I went to the face like right away. And
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: my my grandma, she was like, oh, she seemed that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: When I was younger, I used to go stop by
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: this this jewelry store and always look at this chain
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that I liked. You know, I would just go look
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: at it ask him to try it on. I didn't
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: have no money, but I would still go look at
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: it and let me see that chain and try it
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: on and they'll put it back. They knew damn well
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: that I'd have no money. They were like, he's just
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: here looking at the damn chain. So she came up
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: one day and told me, Look, if you take off
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that tattoo on your chin, I'll get you that chain.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: So I was like all right, but I still didn't
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: even think about it until, you know, being in the
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: system before I got I came home one of the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: times I had a court order for them to take
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it off, and I had to go through Homeboys Indus
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Street to where they were gonna excuse me, erase, well,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: you know yeah, and you know, I reached out to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: my grandma and I told her, Hey, I'm going to
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: take it off then so I could get that chain.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: But I really had to take it off, like you know.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: So she bought me the chain, I got the laser
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: tattoo removal, and then I started getting more tattoos on
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: my face and then she was like you worked me basically,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: like She's like I told her, I you told me
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: just to take off that tattoo, and I couldn't. I
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: can't get some more. So you know, it turned out
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: like that. After that, she was just like she wasn't
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: trusting me no more when it came to that shit.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You know, She's like now, but yeah, like I started
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: young with the tattoos on my face thirteen fourteen years
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: old was there. I mean, when you have tattoos like
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: you have, I'm assuming that there's some that you regret.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Is there any tattoo that comes to mind that you
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: regret more than others? Maybe like female names and shit
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: over the years being young and dumb and you know
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, in the heat of the moment where
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you're like, go get your name tattooed tomorrow, right, you
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So but now it's like I
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: just I just plastered over those moment fuckers now like
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: ain't no, ain't no, biggie. I feel like, what's dope
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: about like your your appearance is First of all, people
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: are intrigued. I think when they see you, like who's that, right,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Like who's the guy? And then they hear the music
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh shit right? And then I also feel
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: like you could be in any fucking movie, like so
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: many people have been telling me, Bro, you're missing out
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: on all kinds of acting bread like I started to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: have when I first came home from prison. I started
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: doing the whole. I mean, you're gonna get type casted, right, No, yeah,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be You're gonna be like the big homie
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: in the hood or they're always gonna choose me for
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: certain certain road. Sure, but the money's green. When I
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: first came home, it's like I didn't have a car,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: so it was hard for me to get from point
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: A to point B. I was sharing with the girl
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that I was with at the time, but she also
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: had to work, so it was like some days I
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: couldn't make it. Some things I could. So I think
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the central casting kind of got tired of me pulling
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: up lad or Okay, So so you just you would
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: have hard times getting to like of locations and stuff like, well,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: now it's it's different. You know, I got my own
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: stuff and it's like a lot easier. But maybe I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: would have to reapply or something, you know what I mean.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I just seen recently that a lot
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: of people started tagging me to this uh all Hell
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the King. I guess it's a Disney movie that I
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: came out in. So they're like, damn, You're in a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Disney movie. You at the flood like, you know, people
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: tagging me. I'm like, oh shit, I didn't know. And
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: we did that like six years, seven years, and then
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: obviously Originals thing was dope. That was dope and missed
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the cartoon like that was a dope. They definitely made
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: that happen, bro, You know, I was appreciative one hundred percent.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: You uh, you know I told you when I first
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: kind of got put up onto you you had linked
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: with Yellow Wolf, Yeah, which is also kind of he's
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: heavily tattooed, but also kind of random. Right, you guys
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: ended up. I mean I think you've told the story before.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Essentially he came here, he was looking for a place
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to shoot his show, came to your neighborhood. You guys connected, bonded,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: ended up doing some music. Who are some other artists that,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: like you would want to work with him? Some people
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: might not expect you be, like, you know, working with
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: because I think the Yellowolf thing is one of those. Yeah,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Yellowolf was definitely like a surprise to a lot of people.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And like I said, it was one of the artists
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: that I kind of you know, spoke into existence from
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: being incarcerated listening to him to where I told myself
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna come home and I want to do a
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: track with him, right, And it happened the same with
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Crooked Eye, you know, shout out to Frank Nitty Homi,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Frank Nitty plugged us up and made that happen, you
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. We we had a nice little
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: session in the Gritty Arc studio and you know, got
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: to know crooked even before that, the fact that we
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: did the track prior, you know, times prior than that,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: we would be in the studio vibing out and you know,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: chopping it up and real cool people, solid and humble,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: you know. Honestly, myself, I think I want to do
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a track with fifty cent. I be insane only because
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I listened to like his music. That's basically like a
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: lot of the music influence that I used to, you know,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: listen to, and it's like I got out and a
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people like when I drop Hoogs or when
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I drop certain songs that will be like that Cadence
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: reminds me of fifty that right, you know, and I'll
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: be like, maybe it's because I listened to them so much.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I'm creating my own music,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: so it's like I don't feel like it sounds like
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: anybody in general. But then again, the fans and the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: people that are listening are the ones that right, it's
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: their opinion, you know what I'm saying. You Also, I
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: heard a few of the records you did with Homiechris
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Coke from Arizona. Oh yeah, I don't know when those
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: are going to come out, but they're crazy. Yeah. No, definitely,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: he's amazing. He's a beast man. I gotta give it
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: to christ Lyrically, he's a fucking monster. One of my homies,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Mommy Scrappy, had tagged me to something that he, you know,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: he was doing, and the scraper was like, man, check
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: this food out, my boy, he's dope. So I listened.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, he is dope, you know. And for
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: me to come off of my not I don't want
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: to say like like my my high horse or anything,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: but I feel like, you know, you got it was
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: a spot already to where it's like I don't have
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: to go listen to every single thing that people throw
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: at me. So it's like for me to come and
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: listen and actually feel like, oh, bro's dope, like it's
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: it was something to me, you know. So whenever that happens,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I usually hit my boy, my manager John and telling
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: them straight up like hey, find this dude for me,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: you know, get at him. Let's work. We gotta pay
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: for the studio, they got it, whatever, whatever it is,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: just let's figure it out. Let's make something happen. So
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: we reached out to him and he was like more
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: than happy to do it because he had already heard
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: of myself as well too. So he's like, you tell
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: me when, and he came out, yeah, book the studio.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: It was dope, and I was like, oh, oh yeah, nice,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: you know. So we made it happen, and we got
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: a couple tracks and we actually recorded like four songs
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: that night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I heard I think
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I heard almost I think I heard all. Yeah. We
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: were like back to back with it. Oh it's good,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it's fine, it'll pick up. Oh oh on the camera. Okay, good,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: there you go. I like that. That's why he's the manager.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: So just right now, I feel like we're kind of
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: in the middle of like a renaissance of like Mexican rappers.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like when I first got in the radio
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: and when I was growing up, it was like MC magic,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Little Rob, like obviously Baby Bash was doing this thing.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: But I feel like right now there's so many dope
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Mexican MC's artists that are just killing it on all levels.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: You know. Snow, the product was just nominated for Latin Grammy.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: You know, we can go up and down. I mean
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: LA is kind of the epicenter of like where a
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: lot of these young kids are really killing it in
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Latin and the Latin hip hop scene, just in hip hop,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and they happen to be Mexican. How do you feel
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: about like the current state of like Mexican rappers? Man,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I love it, and you know, I respect the fact
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: that everybody's out there trying to get where they where
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: they feel they need to be, or people that are
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: just pushing and going for what you know what we've
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: never really been able to accomplish, which is opening that
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: door for you know, the Mexicans and for the Hispanics
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: and you know people that've been trying to do this
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: for us for years. You know, we've had episodes, you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: kid Frouds like of course, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: The people that did get there, they're trying to shine,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I feel like the
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: door wasn't completely kicked in for it. I Mean there
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: was always like one or two guys at a time.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: But I feel like now, I mean I can think
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: of like twenty five dudes off the top of my head.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That's the difference now and then. I feel like social
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: media and everything else has brought that for a little
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: made it a little easier for us to be able to,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: you know, show showcase what we got and learn from
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: each other. Which not everybody's gonna sit here and tell
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: you that they that they learn from each other. But
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: if I see a dope artist that I can learn from,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna soak up game. I'm definitely gonna appreciate
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: whatever he's putting out there. You know, everybody out here
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: got their chests out and think, oh I'm the biggest,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I'm the baddest, And that's why I don't fall into
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: that cat glory with my mind state. I stick to
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: what myself, my boy Peter built, which is JR for
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: my label. Like everybody that's from my label jokes, you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: just just everybody that's on the team and on the squad.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I try to push them to push me, if that
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: makes sense, Like, you know, I'm trying to like at
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the same time they're working on stuff. I tell them
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: don't get caught up with waiting on me, you know
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep doing
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. You guys might pop before me. Who
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: knows shit. Then you're gonna have to bring me like
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna bring you if I pop, Like, it's
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: just a it's a square, you know what I'm saying.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it's like, we
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: gotta cover every corner in that square. And that's how
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like it needs to be done. You know,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: help each other. Help, Yeah, let's help, you know what
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I mean. Tell me the story about when you were shot?

• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the girls that I was messing with at the time
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: were by my bad side, like the my homies would
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: all pull up. Like at one point, the doctor came
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: out with my bed after the first surgery and seeing
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: three hundred people there and couldn't believe that there was
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: three hundred people even in the hospital, right, He's like,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: all of you guys are here for bed one and

• 47:35
  Speaker 1: can't promise you the second surgery is gonna go The
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: same when I came out of the second surgery. He
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: told my homies he's here, he's gonna stay, and they
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: went crazy. They want to go barbecue and do all
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: kinds of city. They want to be a party. You know,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Was that the only time you were shot? Yeah, that
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: was the only time. That was more than enough. That
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: was more than enough, right that some real shit enough
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: damn yeah? Yeah, and then yeah they Uh so, I
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: had these bunch of different, you know, little machines tag
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: to me, and one of the nurses came into the
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: to the room where I was at and I couldn't
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: talk cause I had a tube like you know, in
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: my throat, at my side of my right here, like underarm,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: just tubes everywhere basically, and I couldn't really speak. I
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: couldn't speak at all. The lady came in and was like, oh,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you off of these machines. I'm gonna
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: try to walk you. And I had just got shot
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: like a week and a half before, so I was
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: like walk me like. I was looking at her like no,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Like the only thing I could do was kind of,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: you know, shake my head kind of get her to
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: understand that I'm not ready to walk. She's like, oh,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: you're fine, She's unplugging all the shit, and I'm like
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: like no, like you know what I'm saying in my head.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I was screaming, but I couldn't say nothing. So she
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: took me off of the bed, sat me up, and
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I guess when she sat me up, an air bubble
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: rope or like right rose to my to my brain.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: So I passed out. I passed out when she did
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: that because I didn't I didn't know what was going on,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: but the air bubble rose to my brain and it
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: caused something up there to where it made me pass out.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: The doctors came and tried to get me back. They couldn't.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Then the doctor finally got me back with something sauce
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and stuff. So when I woke up, he's like, move
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: your right hand. So you know, I moved my right hand.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: He's like, move your right legs. I moved my right
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: leg and he's like, move your left hand. And I
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: tried and nothing would move. Move your left leg. It
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: wouldn't move either. It was parallel. It was paralyzed from
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: half of my half of my body. So they had
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: to take me to Long Beach Memorial Hospital. And they
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: put me in a diver's tank. Wow, which I guess
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the divers when they dive too deep they get those
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: air bubbles over their brains. So they deal they deal
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: with the same stuff in a different form. So they
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: put me in a diver's tank to where it was
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: like at an angle. My feet were towards the ground,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: my face was like up here. They put I still
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: remember they put on a movie. They brought like a
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: little sliding screen with a movie and uh, they put
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: on something about Mary. Remember they still put that movie on,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: and then like within three minutes to four minutes, I
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: was out. So I guess they gased that like tank.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: You know, they put you to sleep, so put me
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: to sleep, and then I guess they turn up the
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: pressure while you're sleeping. They brought me out, and he's like,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: move your right hand. I moved it right, legg moved it.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Movie left it with him. Budge. He's like thrown back in.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: So they put me back in there. I don't know.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know how long I'm staying in there again.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: But they put the same movie back on, turn the
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: gases on or whatever. And when they finally pulled me out,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: he's like move your left hand. I was able to
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: move my left hand and to cray for sure. For sir,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I had one of the top fifty doctors in the world.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: His name was doctor Essencio. He's from Brazil. Wow, he
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: was at USC hospital. He definitely is blessing. And you know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: if I ever had the chance to show my appreciation,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: that would. Man, you know what I'm saying, And this
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: is definitely a blessing. I have been under his yeah,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: because you know, if you don't have the right doctor,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: they might have just been like, oh, you're fucked. That
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: was what they were saying when I was walking in
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: there like this one's done, and that doctor was like, nah,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: bring him to me. He was just there doing like
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: a study or a seminar. That's the stars of aligning. Man,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: one of the top fifty in the world. Bro, that's big.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: That's big. Outside of you getting shot obviously when you're eighteen,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: what's the closest brush with a serious life and death
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: situation you had while being incarcerated? Man, I feel like
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: every day is just a brush with being close to
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: life and death. Because they could switch from all smiles
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: to you know, place being on fire, like from one
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: second to the next. You don't know what's gonna take place.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I've seen people go in with violations of seven months
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and then end up with, you know, the rest of
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: their life having to be incarcerated because happened in jail.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen at any time. Just never let your
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: guard down and just you know, is it hard to
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: let go of that mentality? Oh? Very very I feel
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: like you gotta want something bad enough to be able
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: to and it's never gonna go away, you know what
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, It's never gonna go at the end of
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the day. It's like your mentality is there still now,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: whether you choose to like mess with the volcano or
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: just leave it alone. That's where that's where all of
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: this falls in place. Like you know, I'm doing music,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I left all the you know, the untampered with, Like
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I just kind of just don't mess with it and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: just keep you know, keep my cool and respectful and
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: still go about things the way that I know that
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: I should be going about things, you know what I mean,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Like certain stuff that even on podcasts like this, that
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and talk about, you know
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. At the end of the day, it's
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: like it's all respect, but there are certain subjects I
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: won't touch, and then there's certain subjects that, yeah, we
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: could talk about because it's something that already happened, its
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: events in my life. Of course. You feel what I'm saying.

  Speaker 1: box in there with two tape cassettes, so somebody had
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: rigged it up to where the ox plug was a
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: microphone in there, so you would put like an instrumental
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: on this side, a blank tape that you wanted to
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: record over on this side, play them and then wrap
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: into the box plug. And we have tapes like we
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: would make tapes in there. So we're making tapes and
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: sending them out to the streets. He came, he went
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: home before me. I started a few years left when
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: he went home. I had. He went home in O
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: five and I started like three or four years left.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: When I came home, he had got caught up the FEDS, So,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm hitting up his grandma and she's like,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: he's busted again. So since I since I came home,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: I was trying to like link back up with him,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: and he had, you know, the FED case going on.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: So finally in twenty thirteen twelve or thirteen, two thousand,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen, I came home and Uh, I
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: was cutting hair for a studio. So I was cutting
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: hair for a studio. Like I was just here's some
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: video studios, so they would do music videos, commercials. Barbara
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I was yeah, yeah, yeah, So by trade, I was
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: a barber. So I was cutting hair and the studio
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I worked for had actually done one of his videos.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: So he's showing me like all the past projects that
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: he's done. I was like, that's my boy, Like, can
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: we get a hold of him, So went to the channels.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: He's in the FEDS again, So I'm doing a violation.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: So one day the studio hits me up to come
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: help him with the with the video. I pull up
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: and he's there. He just came home maybe a week
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: or two before. Literally the next day I went and
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: met up with him, and for the next three years,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: probably four years, I saw him every single day, like
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: we're together every single day, moving around doing this music.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Ten days after we link back up again, I quit
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: cutting hair at the barbershop I was at, and we
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: started running with this wow, and we've been Yeah, we've
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: been doing that since. How many years has this been since?
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: You guys? Usually two thousand and six, fifteen or sixteen
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: sixteen is when we started started running. So I came
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: home in thirteen and he was still back and forth
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: doing his violations. So a few years after I came
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: home is when we finally linked back up and we've
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: been we've been running since. So you guys have the
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: new album coming out, which is what's dope about it
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: is you guys aren't putting it straight to the the streaming platforms. Yeah. Now,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: we did that with the with the Plant with the
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Plan B album. That was kind of our first getting
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: our feet wet into doing something ourselves, was like, instead
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: of just recording the music and letting somebody else figure
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: So we had to figure that album out from beginning
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: to end. So we we we did that. It got it.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: You know, good reception kind of opened a few more doors,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: but we did see that that, you know, with the
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: kind of music that we have in the project that
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: we're coming out with, streaming right away is not going
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: to be our best way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, listen,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're doing this to
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: try to support you the fan base, the core fan
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: base that we have is strong. So also we're thinking
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: that more as something for those people that have been
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: here supporting, they're going to get these these this physical
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: package that we're putting. So what is the physical package?
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: So what's the name of the album? Give me the whole?
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: There's no official name of the album. It's a double album.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Actually is I'm the name of the Face of l A.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what we're what we're you know, so
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: also makes sense that's your I G you know, so
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: I want to name it that just some you know,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I'm not only It's not
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: only me, it's the face of LA. It's like all
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: of us are the face of LA. We're from here,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We all represent the same
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: thing and trying to shoot for the same direction. So
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: it's like all of us are in this together, you
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I'm gonna make sure this
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: album speaks to everybody and for everybody. Like the way
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: that people you know, relate to each other in certain situations,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: you know, A huge, a huge part of the music
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: industry in LA has always been built around artists either
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: speaking about the street life or in rare cases, an
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: artists actually beaten from the street. Like it's mostly you know,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: an artists that grew up around there that's kind of
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: telling the stories that they've seen and then they kind
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: of morphed into that image of you know, he's a
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: street dude. We're kind of you know, the face of
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: LA is what we've been pushing because everything that the
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: entertainment as far as music has been based around and
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: even but he was like LA is shown as like,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: you know, street culture, gang culture. That's what draws people
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: to to LA outside of Hollywood, and for somebody to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: be actually from that environment, grew up in that environment,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: it's actually you know, certified from that. And to be
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: able to come out of that and try to try
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: to showcase and tell his stories in an art front
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: of music, it's kind of like coming full full circle
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: to where now we have an actual representative, you know,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: kind of like a Nipsey. Nipsey was was did it
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: the street way, and he was a street dude, and
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot of those in this industry that
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: we're in that we're learning as we've got more and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: more into this industry, so you know, it's just kind
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: of a representation of of the l A people. Like
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: like all of our friends, even if they're not from gangs,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: they're there. If they're hanging out with us, they look
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: like us, and they're gonna be assumed to be part
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: of what we're a part of. That's just like the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: hip culture in la is to look like like a
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: street dude, and it has been like that since the nineties.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: The style may have changed, but the the intention is
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: still there. Like the intention, you know, what's cool is
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: to look like, you know, like you're from the streets,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: whether you are or or not. And for us being
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: street dudes, we want to look like we're not from this.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, we we're tatted up, but we're trying to
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: trying to we're trying to break out of that. So
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: it's just been a learning experience, and especially as two
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: dudes that had no you know, music experience. I mean,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: the fact that you're able to go from being a
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: barber to straight to this and even even me going
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: to be a barber was a huge thing for me
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: because I never because that's legit money. Yeah, it's legit money.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: I've never done anything like that, so it was It's
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: definitely been a learning experience. I feel like like if
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: we had a little more knowledge, we could, you know,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: maybe done things a little bit quicker. But I'm happy
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: with the growth that we've had because it's been organic
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: and right. It's a learning process, you know for people
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: who don't know what's the Like, there's a package coming out,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: is this is it on February first? We're so we're

• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we're doing it on April first, you know,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people joke around with that date
• 1:02:23

• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: coming strong and we want to make sure that we

• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: So the package is gonna come with the album, the
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: action figures, and Uh, we've been uh in partnership with
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: a hemp wrapp company called Billionaire Hemper Apps for the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: last two years. We've been developing a product, the product
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: that we showed you. So we're gonna have two flavors

• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: the same thing that everybody else has before we let
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the album stream. That's smart Mans And then UH, there's
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: a cookbook, a jail cookbook you're working on. Yeah, we
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to make a prison cookbook, like a thousand or
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred ways to make a top ramen, because there's
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: so many top yes inspired pretty much cuisine. Prison cuisine
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: is all based around a top ramen. Yeah, so what
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: you can do with the top ramen? Adding to it,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: make it spread, make a sandwich, whatever. Okay, give me
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: the If let's say you're in prison, what's your number
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: one meal you could cook up. If let's say let's
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: say you could cook a meal for somebody from the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: outside the coming to visit, what would be that one?
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I mean the cookbook that you're like, this is fire. Well,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: if it ain't a spread, of course, because there's plenty
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: of different ways to make spreads, I'd say a manwich.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: They're called manwiches, swear. You take the soup, you leave
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: the soup where it's in the package, You put hot
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: water in there, let it sit for a little bit,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: pour out the hot water, so you still got the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: whole noodle that opens up basically like a book, and
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: you put that on the bread. You know, there's certain
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: ways you make the beans. You spread the beans across it.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: You know, you could use little pieces of pepperoni, cut
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: little slices of pickle, you know, whatever little ingredients that
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: you put a little bit of the seasoning pack and
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you put it together with pork rinds and
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, and then you get a big old
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: monster sandwich that tastes like it's from Tommy's. Wow. Wait,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: so I still eat them. So there's noodle was inside
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: of the bread, so it's bread noodles, But the doodles
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: is just in the brick like how it comes to square.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: It's just loosened up, a little loosened up a little
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: bit from just cook like that, you know, but it's
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: still in. There's a lot of carbs, man, that is
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: you know that. I'm not saying it's a healthy boy,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: but that's something that you guys still make, still make them. Yes, yeah,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: I made one the other day. I want to say,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: like a week ago, I made one of the girl
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: why do you still? Even my homie just came home
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: a year ago. He's like, why do you eat this? Ship?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Like he's good, you can't take over the years. I'd
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: always have people like you're making that, you're just jinxing yourself.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm like why Because I'm eating a soup, Like,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: what the hell do they gotta do? I'm not out
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: her cousin. I think you should do a YouTube channel man, instead,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: I mean do the cookbook, but the YouTube channel. If
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: you do, like to show the recipe a week, man,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: that shit will go crazy. Trust me, the YouTube money
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: serious man. Right, that's a good idea because because people
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: unfortunately people don't. I don't think people go to cookbooks anymore, right,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: download or something. Well, they get everything online. I mean honestly,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: they just go on YouTube. Now that's true. So if
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: you if you on YouTube the other day, exactly, if
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: you started a YouTube channel where you were just creating content,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: doing recipes, bro, that ship would go crazy. And then
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: you have special guests come on. Well maybe artists who
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: have been in jail or artists that haven't. But just
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: if you've got a relationship with Crooked Eye or whoever,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: have them come on and everybody does a different you know,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: you make them, you make them something and then they
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: they taste tested on camera. That should have go crazy
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: for sure. That's a good idea. Yeah, then you might
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: fucking end up on Vice. But I'm saying like you
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: might get your own show on vice for real, like
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: that'd be crazy. And then if it goes super crazy,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: start a fucking restaurant. You got a kitchen, start a
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: little corner, man. I'm telling you bro right now. The
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: cookbook is cool because you know you I mean I
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: would just do a living to in that, but to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: really maximize like that, like a coffee table book, just
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: you're you gotta you gotta do the video content. You
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: gotta do it the right way. You can't do it
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: where it looks all half assed and Bria and ship. Yeah,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: that'd be big, honestly, sure, Yeah idea. Definitely gonna keep
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: that in consideration. Yeah, run that up all right. So
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: April first, the album's coming out. Uh, when are you
• 1:07:21
