  Speaker 1: Talk about this new album, man, I think, Uh, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you've been through a lot in the last twelve months.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: It's been public, and I feel like this album is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: an important one for you and your legacy. Man, how
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: are you feeling about it? Oh? I'm excited. Man. You know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I woke up and I got my first number one album. Bro.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I feel good, man, I feel real good. Congrats, Thank you. Bro.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Twenty five? What made you want to go with that? Uh?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You know I turned twenty five back in October, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just just life. And you know the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: position I'm in right now, it's a real bro, because
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot, you know, along the way. A
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: lot of course people I love didn't see twenty five
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: years old. Like when I was I always be saying
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like I didn't see it more than one time, like
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: when I was eighteen seventeen years old, and like one
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of my older guys, like from the neighborhood. To turn
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: twenty five, we will start calling them og like yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you OG status now, which is crazy. It's crazy. It's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: hard to see twenty five, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Where I come from, it's a real milestone. So for
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: me to be twenty five years old and accomplished so
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: much and reached as much level of success in my
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: life and to still be modest about it because I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: know it's so much shit out there that I still
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: want to do. You know what I'm saying. I feel
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: like just where I'm at and all the emotions I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: went through recording this project and just you know, beating
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: so much shit, like everything, every obstacle it came out
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: way in life, Bro, I just found a way to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: get through it, like not complain or not want to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: give up or you know what I'm saying, like not
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: wear that shit publicly. You feel what I'm saying. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just I just deal with it, you know what I'm saying.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And I think when I turned twenty five, bro, I'm like,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not lying, Like it's like a switch just went off.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I just I just start thinking different and everything. Like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: literally as soon as I turned twenty five. It was like,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say I changed, but it was like
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: some immy just made me think about everything differently. Bro.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I feel like, you know, amongst your peers,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: like in you know, at least my perception from a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: fans perception, it's like you seem to have your head
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on your shoulders real straight. Like you know, the last
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: few years, you really don't hear your name and no
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: goofy shit, you know what I'm saying. And the same
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: can't be said for a lot of the guys who
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: are around your same age doing the same thing, you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So kudos to you because I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: feel like you've been on your grown man shit. You
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying for show, I always been mature,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I always hit a level
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: head and know thought about shit a little differently, you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I take pride in that, Bro.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I ain't trying to be known for no goofy weirdo
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: bozo artists. Especially in this industry. Man, A lot of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: shit like that take place, man, you know, like niggas
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: be having gimmicks and shit like that, and it just
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know it don't really it don't work. Bad Yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: bad for them, bro. So it's like I'll just be
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: trying to focus on me. I don't chase nothing. That's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: not funny, you know what I'm saying. I'm not trying
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to be like the next artist. I'm just trying to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: be me, bro, like the best beat I could be.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And I win doing that, Like fuck all the other ship.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like right now we're kind of you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Chicago's had so many waves of success from the nineties
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: till now. Obviously Twist the Common Kanye, you know all that,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: then Chance and and Vic Manta and then and Chief
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Keith and all that was kind of going on around
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the same time. And you you were a part of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of the Drill scene. But I feel like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: right now between you Dirk Polo g, like it feels
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: like this has been the biggest that Chicago hip hop
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: has ever been. Like it feels like it's crazy. It's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a crazy thing to say. Now, No, obviously Kanye, I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not trying to take away from Kanye as being the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: biggest artists in the world. But I just mean, when
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you look at the landscape of who's the hottest motherfuckers
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in hip hop right Like, it's a lot of Chicago,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and it's never really been like that. It's always been
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: like one guy. But it's like y'all really running sit
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: up right now in a way that's like not fair
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to a lot of other regions. And what's dope is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you and Dirk just y'all evolution since you started. It's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: been so special to see because you guys have grown
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as musicians, grown as rappers, grown as man, you know
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And the longevity there's something to be
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: said about that as well. Man, No, I've been hearing
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that a lot, though I'm not even gonna lie, like
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you're not even the first person to say that. You know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: just from the outside looking in, maybe it looks a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: little different. Yeah, I don't know. I like what everybody
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: or you know what I'm saying, But it's just something
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: different about Chicago, bro. We grind differently, you know. You know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it's not no quitting us like and I always say
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that I'll be telling people like, man, you can't really
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like take none of this ship personal in the industry
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: when you go through ship all adversity that come with
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a long as we didn't mention Juice World too. Yeah,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of course, brother, man, you know that's that's a that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a given, like automatically, you know. But Chicago just I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: feel like we built for pressure. We built for pressure.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: We don't really you know, brust under pressure and those
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: people who last the longest, especially in this industry, because
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it's gonna you're gonna be under pressure, you know what
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think that's what's stand out the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: most to me about you know, being from Chicago and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: seeing other Chicago artists like succeed and shit, how's you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: know obviously a heere yours. Dirk is having the best
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: year of his life, but he's also faced a lot
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of personal losses recently. Have you been in contact with
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: him recently? Oh? Yeah, you know, I'll reach out to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: bro on the record the basis so you know what
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, especially you know recently after after the you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the untimely past Nights Bros. I reached out. Yeah, hell yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know we lucked in. How big of a loss
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: do you think, just you know, two opposite sides of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the spectrum, but losing Juice World and then losing King
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Vaughan within inside of twelve months for the city. Man,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. It's different, bro, Like we take a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: lot of losses in Chicago. Man, I don't know. It's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: like maybe it's a dark cloud over that bitch or something.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't really I don't know, Like you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: can't take it personal though, Like it's like I don't
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: know something about this. I feel like when you do that,

• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to like connect with as many artists as I can,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, to expand my horizon, you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and whether they independent or not.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I fuck with Mazzi though, is one of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the coldest man me and Mazzick being for sure, that's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: my real dog. But I'll be trying to like connect
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: with our artists because I feel like that's what it's full.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But you gotta build like relationships first of all. Like
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't really just want to just jump
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: on songs with people, fuck with a nigga, like oh yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump on this and fuck with him because
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it's hot, or fuck with this because I feel like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'm hot at the moment. Like I ain't never really
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to be one of them artists that just got
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: songs with a bunch of niggas that I don't funk with,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, right, So that play a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: big part in it too, Like if I funk with
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you and your movement, then it's nothing like it is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna pull up to the studio, rock out,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: pull up to your hood, shoot the video pull up
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to my hood whatever the kid. How hard is it, man?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You know, without getting into the details of your situation,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but like having something like that out there and something
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: like that kind of floating over you, how hard is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it to stay focused and finish an album under them circumstances?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Cause I've been in similar situations where if it just
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: feels like a cloud over your head, no for sure,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: because you don't know what's going to happen. You're waiting
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: for this for you just waiting for to see what
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I've been there, you know what I'm saying. So I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: can only imagine how hard it is to just put
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: your head down and get to work. You know what
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's tough, man. But like I said, Bro,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I've been under pressure my whole life, so I'll be
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: feeling like I'm built for this shit. Bro, it is
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: what it is. I don't really like be tripping over ship,
• 15:53

• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in like a like a weird funk or depression. No,
• 16:20
