• 2:10
  Speaker 1: life and ain't around you throughout your life daily. You know,
• 2:14

• 2:27
  Speaker 1: sentimental value with that, you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: Know, let's talk about those values. You know, going back
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: to the street for Louisiana, which is where you're from
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: growing up. You know, what was it like for Chris
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: before Hurricane Chris?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris my real name. I'm a junior. My son
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: named Chris too. My daddy named Chris. A lot of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Chris going on, straight up, straight up man, Streetport crazy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. Streetport is like that's my hometown.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But it's been real gangstand Streetport for a real long
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: time since I could remember. Like my dad in them
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was with the shit. Like I used to hear them
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: talking about missions that they just went on when they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: came in a house. So I could lie to you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and tell you it's been peaches and cream and I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: grew up like the fresh prince bell out, but I'd
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: be lying, Okay, it really was. It was. It was.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It was a treacherous town, and I think I witnessed
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff I a kid should have never witnessed,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Like I really was right in the mix.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: At at three years old, I was watching my dad
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: they break down a whole key on the table right
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in front of me, and by the age of five,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I knew what it was and I was repeating it
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to my mama and my daddy was whooping me. So
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it's like I grew up writing a mixed of some
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: some real deal street you know type cats.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Did it affect your your upbringing in any kind of way.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: Did your dad go to jail or anything?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did four and a half years, but it
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was over marijuana. It wasn't over what they you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: really was doing. He he he did four and a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: half years over marijuana. So it it. It definitely affected me.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It taught me to It helped me as well though
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in some positive ways, because I'm well of my surroundings.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Like when I'm in my house, I watch everything that's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: going on, and I don't sleep deep like all of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: these is some conditioning from growing up inside the trap house.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Like well, I wouldn't say trap house, but in a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: house where they really did a lot of you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: illegal activities.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Just a certain environment.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I grew up in that environment. So at the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: age of probably five, my daddy used to give me
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the strap, take everything out of it, and tell me
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: wash the dough. It got to the point where when
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all his friends came in, they unloaded they straps and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: handed it to me too, and they used to laugh
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: at the fact that I used to like the hold
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of straps. And this was this was probably before the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: age of five, It's probably four years old. So I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: was sitting on the couch with three or four tools,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: watching the door, like thinking, I'm doing what my daddy
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: told me to do. And still to this day, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: watched the door anywhere I go, I'm watching the door
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: if your home, well, walking here right now, he could
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be here for you, but I'm gonna look at him
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: up and down because he's stepping into his own way
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: close enough.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: To when you walk there, you lift me up and
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: down before you shut my hand.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta make sure. You got to make sure
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: your pockets empty, ain't nothing, You ain't reaching for nothing,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like I'm conditioned like that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: So you did give me a pause, then yeah, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: gotta make.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Sure everything is good. When somebody get close enough to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: do something to you, then it's done. So you gotta
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta be scanning what's going on before somebody could
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: even you know, get that close so or have enough time.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it come off as being rude, but when a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: person walk up to me and speak, the first thing
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I'm doing is looking down at they waist band in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: their pockets before I even respond. And it's just from
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: growing up in that environment.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: Where was your mom att in this at this time?
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: Like when you were.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Doing all this, my mama was right there telling my
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: dad and no, don't do that, and he was like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: shut up.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: What did your mom do for work? Like what is
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: your mom?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: My? Daddy put her in to school and after that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: she got a beauty shop. Okay, she had a couple
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of beauty.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Shops, and your dad was just outside.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Outside he would but he was he was. He was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a different type of dude. Like besides protecting myself and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: everything around me, he ain't allowed me to to indulge
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in nothing. Else and he he. He always used to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: preach to me like this ain't what you want to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: do now. They would hand me their straps and tell
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: me to hold them. But if you fired up some
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: gas in front of me, you might get stumped. It
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was all about respect. Like if one of his homeboys
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: came around me and lit some up, it was a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: wrap for him. I'm talking about bad. It would go
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: bad right down on the spot. I gotta literally watched
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: my dad almost get rid of people for walking in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: my prisons and indulging in drugs.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: So that had to affect you when you were in
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: school too, So like you know, when you went to school.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: How how how was Hurricane Chris in school?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: In school? I mean, like I tell you, he taught
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: me the right things as well. So it wasn't like
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he raised me to just be stupid. He just raised
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: me to be aware of my surroundings and protect myself.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So when it came to school, my dadd didn't play
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: no games. A lot of my aunts on my dad's
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: side of the family was in the educational system. Both
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of my antis drive school buses. I got two twin
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: teachers in my family, that's twin sisters. They daddy was
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in the educational system. So that's something that we ain't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: never play no games about. And he ain't never played
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: with me about no education. Like I had to come
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: home do my homework, I had to be in the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: house before the street lights came on. So he ain't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: raised me to be stupid. He just I grew up around,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you know, some stuff that he was forced to be
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a part of because he had to provide for his family.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And it ain't like he had another house he could
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: send me to. You know, back in the gap, it
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was different.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: It was like the gap, what's the gap?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. In the day, like your spot
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: was your spot, your family was right there with you,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know. So I just had the witness a lot
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: coming up.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Now was the neighborhood that you grew up in.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It was treacherous, it was. I grew up in Seedar Grove,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it was. It was a hell of a neighborhood. Like
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'd be outside playing one minute and then I see
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a car pull up. Three dudes hang out the window
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and they light the house up across the street, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and like the house to the left of that, they
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: went to the gas station, came back, and almost everybody
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: got killed except the mama. You know what I'm saying.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Like kids I used to play with, they mama took
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: them to the gas station and they was they was
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: killed their corner stoves, and like it really was a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: treacherous neighborhood. I can remember so many nights of me
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and my cousins playing in the living room on the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: floor and and half of the hide on the beds
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: when we hear gunshots going off. Like I really grew
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: up in that type of neighborhood, you know, So it
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is what it is.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: You know, you start rapping at ten years old, that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: like fifth grade facts and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: what got you into rap?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I ended the high school talent show with some cats
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that was like around the corner from me, some older cats.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I always hung with older kids. I ain't never hung
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with kids my age and my entire life. I got
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: one friend that was like two years younger than me,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: but he was way more advanced than me. So that's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the only person. But I got in the rap because
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I ended the high school competition with some high school
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: cats and we were in first place, and everybody said
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it was because me, so stayed across the street from
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the high school. Everybody came to my house and after
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they got out of high school. I got out of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: middle school elementary at two thirty two o'clock, so they
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: came to my house, and you know, they used to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: stand in front of my house and tell me to rap.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So I just got popular in my neighborhood for rapping
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: before I can even, you know, understand what was going on.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Where did the name Hurricane Chris come from?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: When I first started rapping, I used to rap real fast.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I ain't never rapped slow. I was like I used
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to listen to Twister Bone.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I was just about the same twistler.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You know. I really listened to them a whole lot.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So I took after that. That's what helped me win
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in high school competition.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Too, because they didn't know what you were saying.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I just know he was saying a lot, but I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: was able to break it down and let you understand
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it too. You know. Yeah, I was painting some immaculate
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: rhymes at a young age.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: So you go to high school and you drop out
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: at sixteen?
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: What led to that decision?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: My mama just felt like it wasn't working because I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was getting Yeah, I was getting in so much trouble,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and she felt like it just wasn't working. So she
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: put me in I had to go to our alternative school,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and then I go back to regular school, and then
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I get in trouble again and have to go back
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to our alternative school. So she was like, you know what,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you just need to get your GED. So she sent
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: me back to the same alternative school to get my
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: GD and that was the end of school for you.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Always were rapping, yeah, yeah, yeah, took of the moment.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. And I think that that got me a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: lot of haters as well, you know, because I was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: different from everybody else. I had something that a lot
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of people didn't have.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: So how did you.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Stay alive and stay out of trouble? Because this neighborhood
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: growing up from you, growing up for you is a
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: lot that you're dealing with. You seeing death and murder
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: and drug transactions and paraform. Then you'd see in all
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: these things, how does this hurricane Chris stay alive, stay free?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: So I could tell you that it was me watching
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: my surroundings, and I could tell you that it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: me being on point, but bigger than anything My grandmother's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was Christians, both of them, and like the type of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: people that pray for you and make your whole life
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: change anything that's going on, Like when they lay hands
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: on you. It's serious. So I had some real, real, real, real,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: real religious grandparents. Like one of them, I had asthma
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: growing up. One of them drew measurements on a cabinet
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and told me, when you reached this height, asthma gonna
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: leave your body. I stood under these measurements every day,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and when I reached this certain level on the ruler
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: on the on the measurements, asthma had left my body.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So spiritual healing and and God watching over me, like
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing that brought me out
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of my situation. God, you know, felt like I had
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I had something to offer to the world, and I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: guess he just he kept his hand over me and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: made sure I was able to, you know, make it
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: out of the craziness.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: What period of time where your music started taking off
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: when you just started taking it serious, like, man, I
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: think I can really do something with this.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I was on the road touring by the time I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: hit I would say, like fourteen, around like two.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: So a Ba Bay didn't come out yet at all.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Nah nah, I was lit way before Ababay. I was
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: already on the road touring getting two thousand dollars twenty
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: five hundred a show, Iang got fifteen and like two
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: thousand and five, two thousand and four, two thousand and six,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean I was already on the road
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of years before Ababaye even dropped. I got
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: my deal in like two thousand and then my first
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: record deal was in with two thousand and seven, which
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: was when.
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: You were sixteen as well, when.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: You get it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I was.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I was already on the road, and that was another
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: reason why you know, I feel like I right, I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: could come back and handle this school stuff later. Right now,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I got a blessing. My mama got eviction notices on
• 13:18

• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my daddy was locked up? And yeah yeah, so
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it was like I had to man up and do
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: grown man activities. I had to provide for my mama
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: because we was going under real fast at a at
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a fast pace. You know, she lost her beauty shop
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: eviction notice on the door where we live at so.
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: She was also divorced at this time.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they was divorced and he was locked up.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: So did that bother you too?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah? It bothered me because I grew up in the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: house with my mama and my daddy. So you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: when when that happened, I was kind of you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I was missed up in the head about it. But
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and the way I I kind of got over it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I got over it because I seen it. You know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they really didn't get along, so I kind of was
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: happy at the same time that they we didn't have
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to go through the turmoil with them arguing, you know.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So I mean, like I say, like when I got
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my deal, my daddy was locked up, so he wasn't
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: here to see none of that. But I picked him up,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you know, when he got out and everything was lit,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I had to go that bag. Now I probably had
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like a I had just signed the deal, so I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: hadn't even really got into the bag like that yet.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I probably had signed an entertainment deal with College Park
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and then they was taking me to Jay Records to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: get the major deal. Oh okay, so the bag hadn't
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: here yet. You understand what I'm saying. So I think
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I had like a dodging trippet, and so.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It was a Baybay already out before you signed.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a Babay was out like a year before I signed.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: Which made College Park come for you.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, College Park flew to street party.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: You made that for uh uh big dog in.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Uh what's his name?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Baby baby?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: To be honest, I made it because I felt like
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it was gonna blow. And that's why you hear me
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in the song saying white folks, gangsters and the thugs
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: stunning with a stack of them dubs riding in Alec
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: with a mug. So I wanted to make it. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: wanted to make it worldwide, versatile for anybody, because I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: knew everybody wasn't gonna know.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: You had him in mind.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I had him in mind when I when I heard
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it in the club, when I heard people saying it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: But then I was like, I can make this bigger.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I can make this something that the world can exces.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So you changed the lyrics on it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't change the lyrics. I changed the meaning. Oh god, yeah, yeah,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: So did you ever go see him DJ?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I was in the club when I first heard
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: people saying it, and he was djaying. But when I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: heard that, I was like, I can make this world wide.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I can make this something that the whole world can understand.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: It was a chance that already was happening.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they was chanting it in the club.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that's where you got the idea from.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, I just felt like, you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I could, I could really make the world rock with this,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: because if I would have kept it like that, then
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they would have been like, who is he talking about?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: What is he talking about? So I had to play
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: chess you know what I'm saying and make the world
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: be able to understand what I was talking about. If
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you're riding in a lack with a mug, say Bay Bay,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you want to know what we say in the club,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: A Bay Bay? You got a stack of them dubs?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Avay Vaye like, now.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: What was babet? Because he from Texas? Correct me if
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong? Right?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Nah? When I made the A Bay Bay song, that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: allowed him to go get that Texas situation, which you
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna never hear him talk about. He ain't never
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: gonna say thank you. The hurricane forget helping me get
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: all the way in Texas. He was in street Port, Louisiana,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: at a radio station that don't even exist no more.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Basically God. So if I wouldn't have made the song,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know where he would be. But I know
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: when I went to Dallas, they told me, even if
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the radio station in Dallas told me, how do you
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: feel about helping him get this job?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: So that's what it is.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So what's our relationship like now?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I ain't got no relationship with him. When I got
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: out and burnt it out, I hit him up and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: told him I need him to help me make some moves.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He told me he wasn't rocking with music. I told him, well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I told him exactly how I feel like. I'm fighting
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a second degree attempted murder charge and I'm telling you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I need you to make something happen for me, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you're giving me excuses. So it wasn't nothing else for
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: me to say to him. After that. I was at
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a point where I was fighting for my freedom, I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: was fighting life, So anybody who ain't had my back
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to help me make the moves I needed to help.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: During that time, I raced them out of my life completely,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: your number one block. You know what I'm saying, I
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: don't care nothing. I'm gonna get some money regardless. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: don't care nothing about nobody who ain't here for me.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. It's just I'm gonna keep
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: it all the way real. The industry ain't gonna make
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: me fake with you. I come from a real place,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you know. And I had been told him, let's stop
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: acting like we're rocking with each other anyway, because you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: ain't really got my best interest. You ain't really trying
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to trying to help me make no moves regardless. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: my song is the song that got you this job
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: out here in Dallas. If I put you in a
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: position and then you see me take a fall, you're
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: supposed to do everything in your power to pull me
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: back up. And he just never did that and never
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: had the realness in him and used to say stuff like,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't care about being real no more.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: And once I started hearing this type of talk, I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: realized that he ain't had a type of character that
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I was willing to surround myself around. And like, I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: got a son, I want my son to see the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: type of people that I involved myself with, and I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: want him to learn to involve hisself with real people
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: who got his back throughout life, you know, so I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: can't teach a lesson through dealing with people who ain't
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: keeping it real. Now.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know Hollywood Babay like that, but I met
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: him a few times. Now do you think there's any
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: miscommunication on his part that he may feel different than
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: how you feel?
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: And just for clarity, Hollywood Babay is a.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: DJ DJ radio personality, Doull, how much miscommunication can it
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: be if I help you get this job at I
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Heart Radio because I made a song mentioning your name,
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: and then you see me go through some stuff and
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: life and.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: You don't do everything in your power to pull me
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: out of the situation. Even when I got into it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with my record label that I was signed, what I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: called him and told him, hey, I need you to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: reach out and let him know this what they're doing
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: ain't right. You know what he told me. I ain't
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: getting in it because I want to still be able
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to go back to the label and still be able
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to do business with him. But you the one who
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: introduced me to these people, you the one who told me, hey,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: sign this deal, just sign it. I'm telling you, I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: got your best interest sign this. But when it went
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: bad and I told him I need you to jump
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in here with me and help, he ain't do that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: He told me he ain't getting involved in That's a
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: snake to me, And you could look at it however
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you want to look at it. If you got more
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: as a principles about yourself, then you understand what a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: snake is.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: So when you first got your deal with John or
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: with J Records, you asked him for advice and he
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: advised you to take the deal.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He set the meeting up at his radio station and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: brought all the label people to a room at the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: radio station. I'm like a kid, I'm sixteen, So everything
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: they saying just sound like a bunch of you know
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, I don't think I know it's
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: out on to rap y'all thirty some years old. I'm
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: looking for y'all to help me, you know, guid me
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: into making the best decision. So at one point I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't about to sign it, and they seen it, so
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: he kep talk to me outside the room, like, man,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: just sign this, I got your best interest, just do
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: it because he knew what it was gonna do for him,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: which is why he still got the job that he
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: got right now, you know, so some people are out
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: for theyself, and that's just what that was. You could
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: ask my whole city Street, Port Louisiana. They vouch for
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: everything I'm saying. They gonna tell you what I'm saying.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: They gonna say he ain't look out for camp.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: So Ababay's out and you're signed with Jay Records.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: The song is.
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: Everywhere like crazy. What was life like in that time?
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: I know, you know, you were kind of uncertain about
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: certain things, but you know, just for the moment the
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: success of the record, what was life like?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I had resentment and I was happy at the same
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: time because I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I kind of was talked into this situation, I was
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: cohurst into.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: This situation is blowing up and you're upset. I would
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: never have.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Guessed that I would send me the label they send
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: me the meetings with I'm sitting at the table with
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a shunty and Nelly eating dinner, and I got a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: scrooge look on my face. To the point where the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: label walked me out of the room, like, Yo, what's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: wrong with you? I'm like, bro, I gotta you don't understand,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like I ain't sure about this whole situation still.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Because you don't even know what you signed.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Basically, you feel me like like, I'm still I ain't
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: sure about this whole situation. So I couldn't fake no happiness.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying, Like you would have thought
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I would have just been psyched out and happy when
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: we flew to New York for the first time. We
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: flew to New York for the first time, they shut
• 21:56

• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to eat. I ain't eat nothing. I'm in it looking
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: like baby was way more happier than me. And that's
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: what man as. Where I'm at now, I can think, Okay, yeah,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I know why he was happier than me because he
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: was thinking about how to position himself. You know, So
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: did he.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: Get more money than you?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Nah, he wasn't even in on a deal.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: You just talking about the leverage of bringing you in
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: there as talent to leverage his opportunity.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And if he was smart, he would a bird man
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the situation. He would have masterpeded the situation. He would
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: have made show we got a distribution deal. But he
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was so quickly being greedy and want to make something
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: fast happen that he let them come sign me as

• 24:02
  Speaker 7: So you had a baby Baby, you did the remix
• 24:04

• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a verse for it, like two bays ago looked on
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: her page.
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: Okay, but halle Berry seemed to be the last hit.
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: From that deal mainstream. What happened with that?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean halle Berry pop on my own.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Me and a manager named Anthony Murray, we went and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: grabbed this song, like the label I had fell out
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: with the label. And this around the time when I'm
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: telling your boy, I need you to reach out to
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: him and and help me fix this situation. So nobody helped.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I guess they felt like they got what they was
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: in in the in the in the situation to get
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: so I drove the Dallas. I hooked up with a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: producer name Playing Skills, and they played they played the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: beat halle Berry and it had to hook on it already.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: They didn't have that point. That's me cause.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Had that part.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, man, it's a hit. I bet if
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I get on this, it's gonna go immediately. And I
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: just I rapped on it. When I rapped on it,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it took off to the moon. A label started calling
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: me immediately, very video. So again that's how I record
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: it was working.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Wait wait, they did they give you another advance?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I don't even think nah they they we just continued
• 25:40

• 25:44
  Speaker 1: It was for five albums? Okay, I only did three
• 25:47

• 25:50
  Speaker 1: where I wouldn't work no more, and I I got
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: to the point where I just wasn't about to work
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: under the situation period like I ain't doing nothing.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: He let me out because there was no money needed.

  Speaker 1: stuff like that. You was going to crash. I mean,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I was going through money fast, but I ain't. I
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't going through it like you see these young cats
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: going through it right now. I went and I still
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: had real estate too, halfway houses, rent houses, purchased a
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: couple of homes. Businesses, you know, helped my mama do
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: what she was trying to do with real estate. Restaurant here,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: restaurant there, like everything that I did may have not
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: been a successful business, but I always tried to spread
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: my money, and you know, some of it was successful,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: some of it wouldn't.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: Did you have like Advisor, no advisor.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: It was just me, that's dope, because everything ain't gonna
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: hit right, Like every every business deal is not gonna
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: be as successful as you know, right right right, your
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: last deal.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: But you'd rather be putting your money into something that
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: could potentially make money than going to buy thirty new chains.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And you don't own no type of real estate or
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: no businesses to create residual income.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Right, So who taught you that? Did your mom teach
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: you to invest your money?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Because she always had some entrepreneurship inside of it,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Like even from being young watching her own beauty shops
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and watching my my my grandparents they had a convenience store,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and I just understood that, you know, you gotta flip
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: your paper. My daddy was a hustler. I wasn't about
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to get involved in what he was involved in, but
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I knew you gotta flip your paper. So that's something
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: that hit me at a young age, and that was
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: something that helped me tell a label, I ain't doing
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: nothing cause you like, I'm good, I know how to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: make some money, Yeah, I ain't.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: So why did y'all end up falling out? Y you
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: in the label?
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I was young and I had a direction I wanted
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to go in. The label owed me money, chicks wasn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: getting cut on time. So it just led to me
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: having a real big outburst and it got real bad
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: between me and the CEO, Like I was telling them
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: exactly how I felt.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, they making millions and millions.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Of dollars exactly right, but chicks being laid in stuff
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: like that. Even after the deal, I had to go
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: hire a row to recovery agent to collect half a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: million dollars. So it's just like the money wasn't being
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: sent to me. But at this age, I didn't know
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: how to go after the money. I didn't know I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: could hire somebody that to make sure everything hit my
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: account when they's supposed to hit my account. I ain't
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: know how to aid it them or none of that.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And you know a lot of companies they just rather
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you odded them or filesuit to get your money. They
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: gonna hold it as long as they can hold it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: So that that that was a big thing, and I
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: just blew up about it. And when I blew up,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they realized that this ain't a situation that we want
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to play with.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so you're out of your deal?
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: What is the temperature for the industry where you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: did you get a lot of support or were you
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: trying to search for another deal or were you just
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: like I'm just gonna go independent.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: When I got out of the deal, it was like
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I started focusing on financial literacy and how to create
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: money outside of the music industry. So I just started
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: moving around from city to city, state to state and
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: learning as much as I could about business.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: How is that like taking classes courses.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Nah, just from the people that I was able to
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: put myself around, Like I started just going to sit
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: with J Prince Senior and just just just ride with
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: them every day, somebody who done created a billion dollar empire,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and just learn how to be self sufficient and and
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and how to make my money work for me. I'm
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: watching he owned this, We go to this building, we
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: find out he owned this, He owned this, He owned this,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: So it's like ownership is where it's at. And he
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: got more money than any rapper. So it's like this
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: is some cool paper, but it's really a whole other
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: world out here of getting to some mega money, like
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: when you owning and and and and having the right
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to be able to sell your your your stake and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: business and you you really playing on a whole other level,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you know. So I just wanted to boss up outside
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of the music industry for a minute, and you know
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that's what I did.
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Did you leave with a good amount of money in
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: your bank account or yeah?
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I had?
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I still had paper. I was straight, ain't I ain't
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: have to worry about no paper, Like I still bought
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: everything I wanted to buy, et cetera, et cetera.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: Okay, were you doing shows.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Still or I was doing stupid shows? That's one thing
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: that really always kept me afloat performing. Yeah, I did
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of shows, Like I'm a college favorite
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: still to this day. College.
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: How old were you when you left the deal?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I probably was, like I signed a deal in two
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: thousand and seven. I think I got out of the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: deal in like two thousand and nine.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: How'd you feel out that you felt good? He was like,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: thank god?
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like thank god because I felt like
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I was in a situation that wasn't doing nothing for me.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I had been locked into this contract and the label
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: had shut down. They wasn't doing nothing. They wouldn't provide
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: me with no resources that I could use to get
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to the next level. So I just wanted out of
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the situation.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: So when you were on a major label, did you
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: ever feel like you was on a major label?
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Did you still feel like you was kind of like independent?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I felt like I was on a major label. Yeah,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I definitely understood I was on the major label. I
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: was signing to Clyde Davis. You know, that's who gave
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Whitney Houston had did know I'd been in a room
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: sitting at tables eating with Whitney Houston before she passed.

• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the label.

  Speaker 5: That's what that's what it's all about. At what point
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: of time did did you eventually say, man, I gotta
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: get out of street Port because you know, you hear
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: you know, even Boosey just talk about a lot of
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: the corruption that goes on in Louisiana.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: At what point did you decide like, all right, I
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: gotta get out of here.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I got charged with second degree murder for defending myself
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: against somebody who's in the midst of a violence, a
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: violent attack on me.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Can we talk about that.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I was at the gas station and
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: somebody tried to ride me and reach into their pocket
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: for a weapon, and you know, I had to usual
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: leave the force. I stayed on the scene, and when
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: they got there, they choose to charge me with your
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: second degree.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: So they took you to jail. Yeah, it took me
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: straight to jail for doing the right thing, man.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Staying on the scene and everything I had. They didn't
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: get there till probably twenty minutes. I could have been gone,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and yay, I stayed there and you felt like you
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: in inside told little clerk died nine one one. When
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: they get here, give them the tape. Stayed right there.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: They gave him the tape.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what cleared me and tried. But Shreetport's so corrupt.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Only thing they looking at it is we got Hurricane Chris.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: They actually got officer saying this on recording. MMM, like, man,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that's Hurricane Chris. So a lot of this had to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: do with them and risk the.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Me as well because of who you who you were.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: And the DA felt like if she could get a
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: conviction on on a celebrity, then she can run for
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: whatever she wanna run for after the district attorney. You
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: feel me like that? Yeah, so they they really tried
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: to use me as a chess move. So after I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: seen that and then I seen the male didn't step
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: in and say nothing about it or try to.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Help with evidence that it was self defense. Cu.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had evidence. They had boooo evidence. This dude
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: was This dude was was was was in the wrong
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: a hundred percent.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Like would you know the person?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Nah, I ain't never seen him in my life.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: I'm just chilling in the gas station or were I
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: you were?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I'm outside the gas station. I'm sitting in the car
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: with with my with my partner, with my security, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: were just chopping it up with your security. Yeah.
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: And then where does the guy come from? He just
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: comes out of nowhere.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: When I look over at my S five fifty, somebody
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: breaking in it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: Mm, you're in another car, not your as.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Gas pumps over in another car. When I look over
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: at my whip, somebody breaking in it. So I run
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: over there, and by this time he didn't already got
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the door open. I got a aar fifteen laying right
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: on the seat. M I wasn't about to let him
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: get to it, so I s I made him stop, instantly,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: turn around, P get your hands away from your pockets,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: cause he started reaching, you know, and et cetera, et cetera.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: He started making verbal threats, reaching deeper into his pocket,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and he he just failed to retreat or or to
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to do anything that I that I was asking him
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to do, as far as take your hands away from
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: your pocket, step away from the car, put his hand
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in his pocket, made verber threats, and step closer to me.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: So did did they? Did he end up having a weapon?
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: He had a a a boulder like the size of
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: my the size of my head. It probably sound like
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating, but he had a boulder like this big
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: cement concrete cement block in his pocket, and that's what
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: he was going in.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: His pocket for, cause he was gonna hit you with it.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I guess he was gonna try to knock me out
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: with it and do whatever he wanted to do. That
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't about to have.
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: Against the gun that you had. He was gonna hit
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: you with.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: A d You didn't know what he had.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I knew it was I knew that he was reaching
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: in his pocket and I seen a protrusion. I could
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: see something real big in his pocket. So in my mind,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: he got a gun.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: So in self defense, you fire off and you know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: and then you wait for the police. Yep, cause the
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: gas station. Cause what happened with the clerk? Did he
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: come outside? Did he call the police? Or who called
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: the cops?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I died now on one, okay, and I think he
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: may have died two.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: The person in the store clerk.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I told him make sure when when they
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: get here, give them the cameras, give them the tapes.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: So when they got there, I'm trying to walk up
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to the officers and tell them what's going on. They
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: telling me get back. I'm like, you want me to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: tell you what's going old or you want me to
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you want me to get in my call leave? They
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: basically trying to push me away from the scene. I'm like, nah, nah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: they don't know that with the situation, started putting yellow
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: tape up.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Around you, like I'm the one called y'all.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, God, I'm involving this whole situation. But they like
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: pushing me back. You feel me as they pushing me

• 38:52
  Speaker 1: telling me get back. They ain't trying to hear nothing
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I guess one of them heard what
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I was saying, and he was like what they walked
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: me over and you know, and that's when they put
• 39:00

  Speaker 8: Because a lot of people don't know this.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Don't answer no questions until you get a lawyer. There
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: me being stupid, thinking that you know, shreet Port gonna
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: do the right thing by me. I answer questions and
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: they used all it, and once I realized, they started
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: asking me the same questions in circles, trying to trip
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: me up. I was like, I don't want to.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Talk no more because they wanted you to change your story.

  Speaker 1: like I'm about to drop and fall asleep right in
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the middle of this interview.

  Speaker 1: Nah, what's crazy is when I when I first got out,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I ain't have no InKo on it on. They called
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: me like, and that's the only thing I was worried about. Man,

• 44:33
  Speaker 1: and said, don't try to know he owned businesses. That
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: half a million dollar bun wasn't high enough mm. So
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the district attorney submitted something for the judge to lock
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: me back up and give me another half a million
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: dollar bun or a million dollar bun. But the judge
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: looked at it like I seen the judge when he
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: pulled his glasses down when they approached him. Like they
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: denied it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Mm, they was trying to get you man.

• 45:02
  Speaker 2: national news, like.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, they tried to lynch me, bro And I feel
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: like as much as I did for this time, Like

• 45:37
  Speaker 1: for their causes. When I hit them up and told
• 45:39

• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Forty years.

• 46:36
  Speaker 1: It ain't no twenty five of life. It ain't no parole.

• 47:10
  Speaker 1: make no promises to nobody. It felt like getting a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: promise that I did make. I was lying even to

  Speaker 1: it happen. She was she was alive when it happened.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: But before I got a quit it, she passed away.

• 47:57
  Speaker 1: when I burned out, when they bumed me out, They
• 47:58

• 48:07
  Speaker 5: At any point of time when you was in you know,
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: when you was going to try for everything, did you
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: ever look at the jury and think they're like, man,
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: these people, you know, they probably think I did it.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: That like you know what I mean.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: I mean when they was an interviewing the jurors, one
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: of the dudes, they asked him a question. They was like,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: so would you be able to to to give him life?
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Would you be able to say guilty if we can
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: prove him guilty? And he was like, well, if you
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: say he did it, he must have did it. They might.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: The judge took him off the jury because if you
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: say something like that, they gotta take you.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't. Yeah, they can't just side with gotta.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta be willing. Your job coming here is to
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: listen to the evidence presented and then make a decision.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: If you show any sign that you already want to
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: say guilty or innocent before you listen to the evidence,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: then they take you off the jury. They can't keep
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: you on it.
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: Good, that's good.
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: So March fifteen, twenty twenty three happens. They deliver the verdict,
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: which is not guilty. Right, what was the what was
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: the energy in the courtroom when the verdict.
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: Was being read.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I broke down. I had a lawyer to the left
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: of me, a lawyer to the right of me. And
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: that's another thing I had my year ago. Yeah, my
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: lawyer had to shut his whole law firm down. They
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: had to shut the whole law firm down because every
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: lawyer had to work my try. Even their sons was
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: in court working my trial. Like from the publicists to
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: their secretary to all the lawyers, like they shut everything
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: down to win my trial. And that's that's something that
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Alex Washington, I'm I always be grateful for because they
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: ain't have to do that, you know. So I had
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: a lawyer to the left of me and the lawyer
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: to the right of me. When they said not get it,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I grabbed both of their hands. I was just ecstatic.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: My head hit the table, like couldn't do nothing. Thank God,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: you feel me as I'm thanking God. And mind you,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: we had probably one hundred and fifty people in his courtroom.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: As soon as they said not guilty, and I put
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: my head down, Thank God. When I picked my head
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: up and turned around, it wasn't nobody in the courtroom
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: like they all came to see somebody get life. They
• 50:17

• 53:13
  Speaker 1: It's a movie. I'm trying to highlight fifty cent.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, I hope you he out there now.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to highlight fifty cent and tell him let's
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: do the life story of hurricane.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: Like when you got to quit it, the first thing
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: in your mind is what.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I got my life back? For three years, I felt
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: like my life wasn't my life.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask how long did it take for
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: all this back and forth a goo so three years?
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like I had a lease on life and
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: that they least could be up at any moment when
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: they say it not guilty. I just started thinking about, Man,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I just want to go home and just walk around
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: in my boxes and man, just just do with my family.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I got my life back. You know. I
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: felt like I fel like I was hanging off a
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: cliff for three years and somebody could have easily just
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: just cut the rope and I dropped them million feet
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and to centigrade. But once they said not gifted, it
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: was like I got my life back, you know what
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, I felt like I was gonna celebrate
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and stand up and say I told you, But I
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: ain't do none of that. I just I couldn't do
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: nothing but think about God and thank Him for bringing
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: me through this situation. You know, I know it wasn't me.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: My auntie and my mama. They couldn't even sit in
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the courtroom when they read divertict. My Auntie went to
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: the bathroom and talked to my grandma the whole time,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Like I told you she passed before I went to trial,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: but she was so much of a spiritual healing to us.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I'm still relying on her to this day because she.
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: Was on the other side working for you.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: You feel me. I know she was in the courtroom.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: You can't tell me she wouldn't so.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Music.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: So when did music start coming back around and you
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: start feel comfortable.
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: A second world?
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: Shout out to your lawyers, because, like you said, you're
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: in such a corrupt town, in a corrupt place for
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: you to be able to find somebody who would you know,
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: like you said, they had their whole family working. You know,
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: that is kind of like a needle in a haystack
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: when it comes to like a place like Louisiana.
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: And you said, your dad found those lawyers for you.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Nah, the lawyer that he sent originally, I ended up
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: not letting that lawyer do my trial. Alex Washington is
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: who I use for my trial. Okay, that's who fucked
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: in the case the entire time, like anytime the whole
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: three years.
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: How'd you find him when I.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Was in jail. He showed up at the jail.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, you just showed up and I.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Ain't want to talk to him. I'm like, bro, this
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: a setup? Who is this? I ain't got no lawyer yet.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just finna try to I'm just fina bun out.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Then get a lawyer.
• 55:44
  Speaker 8: Did somebody send him?
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: He probably he probably saw the news and he probably
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: thought that was something that he could fight for.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: You.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: I think I think one of my partners, three male
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: sent them. Oh okay, but he could have came on
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: his own. I ain't sure. I don't really remember that
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: good you never asks him about it. I did asks
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: him about it back then, but I just don't remember
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the answer. It's been like four years ago since the
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: beginning of the whole situation. So he just popped up
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: and and and they said, you got a visit. I'm like, first,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: somebody from the radio station that I ain't seen in
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: fifteen years came and seen me, and I'm like, what's up?
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: He was like, whatever you need?
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: Let me know who who was that?
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: This was his name? Elo? Okay, uh my, my, my,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: my cousin used to work at the radio station. I
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: used to hang out, not a radio station, a record store.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: So that's another thing I forgot to tell y'all. I
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: actually grew up inside a record store. Okay, so my
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: cousin worked in a record store. The dude who owned it,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: his name was Elo. He work on the radio. Now,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: he pulled up, like what you need. I'm like, man,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: I'm straight. I'm from the bun out. Mm. After that,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the lawyer popped up. The lawyer he even was asking
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: me what you need. I got people that could put
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: the money up for you right now. So I'm like, nah,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: I'm straight. I'm good. So I mean I had people
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: who had my back.
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: You know, are these the same lawyers that you are
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: gonna start the you know, invest in the law form
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: with or yeah yeah.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah. He actually just got somebody off on
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: a situation that a dude did thirty eight years for
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: a crime that he didn't commit. My lawyer just got
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: him off. I think it's in New Orleans. I had
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: to give you the jails thirty eight years, thirty eight years,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: like for crime he didn't commit. My lawyer just got
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: him off on it.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: So that's crazy.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I'm highly invested with my lawyer and were planning to
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: do a lot of business. As far as justice reform,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be my department that I deal with,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: just trying to bring as much attention to what's going
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: on in Louisiana as I possibly.
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: Can, even though that you live in Atlanta.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't gonna forget. I ain't never gonna forget
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the I think I forgot.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: Do you still go home often?
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Though I don't go home offten Naw, I don't go often,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: And that's because my family here, my son he played football.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: I got business deals here, like big stuff I'm working
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: on out here, and Louisiana just don't have the resources
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: for me to be who I need to be and
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: to make the type of money that I'm trying to make.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: So I mean, it ain't It ain't strictly because of
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: that situation, which it should be, because I shouldn't have
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: been there, seeing how they tried to take my life
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: away from me. It did kind of make me feel
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: like I don't never want to come back, But I
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: think I got over that and I focus on the
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: fact that Atlanta just got more business to offer for me,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and my son got his life set up here. So
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: this is where I'm at. This is just a new
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: chapter of my life. Atlanta. I grew up there, I
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: did what I was supposed to do there, and God
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: moved me for a reason. When God moved me, I
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: don't fight against God and try to go like he
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: gonna put me where you wanted me to be.
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: And you're still giving back because if you do this
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: law firm, you know, if you're an investor, that's still
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: giving back to your town right right in the whole
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: state of Louisiana.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was thinking too, it probably like it
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: probably doesn't even make you feel safe even going back
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: because of how they tried to you know, do you
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: back in your hometown?
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I just got the feeling that that
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: safer instance, if the situation occur, you ain't got people
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: that's being fair. The people who making the decisions, they
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: not fair. So why would I Why would I put
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: myself in that position on purpose? You understand what I'm saying.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: And who know how they feel after getting stumped and
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: tried like that. I want all twelve jurors. These folks
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: wasted all type of money from the state for nothing.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: It costs a lot of money to go to try for.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: They shut the whole downtown down when I did my trial.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: You couldn't even come downtown. Once you exited the highway.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: They had police caused what they likes on. The whole
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: courtroom was surrounded three hundred and sixty degrees paddy wagons,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: police officers outside with weapons like they wasted a lot
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: of money to try to get a wrong for conviction.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: And my lawd you still told me if they would
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: have convicted you, I would have got you out, he said,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: I would have put my whole life to the side
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: and dedicated everything I had in the friend.
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: Well, like you said, you're on to a new chapter
• 59:59

  Speaker 1: season two. I just dropped that, and I'm gonna drop
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: a Hurricane season three. So just keep your eyes on
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Cane and watch what I do. I'm bag working right now,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: so it ain't no telling what you're finish. See. I
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: just signed the ar A deal with an acting agency
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: and I got some TV stuff from working on too.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: So oh in the lawsuits, speaking of acting, because they
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: they took a lot of you know, during that three
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: year period, you had a lot of things on the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: rise for yourself as far as acting.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: So the thing about the lawsuit is after you go
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: to trial, they not obligated to give you the court records. Okay,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: So before I go deep into my bag with spending
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: a fload of money, I wanna make sure that it's
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be in my best interest. Cause I can very
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: easily dump a bunch of money and not even be
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: able to get the court records. So right now, I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: gotta find an attorney that's gonna be willing to work
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: with me and go get these court records before I
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: just dump a tremendous bag. I mean, I'm gonna pay,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: but I ain't trying to.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: Just why do you want the court record?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: They gotta have the court records to go over everything
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: that happened to see what was my to see what
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: they in the wrong for taking me to trial for
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: this case.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: And the lawsuit will be failure to investigate.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Investigate, and you will be suing who the police department
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: and the district attorney for for wrongful of prosecution.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: Okay, so that's underway, or that you're just trying to
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: find a.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Lawyer who will wrong for prosecution.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 8: Get the records, and then you'll proceed if.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: That happened exactly because you and see, that's where the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: systems so messed up. It's like if we went through
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: our list. I should be able to get all of
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: that those documents that should be my right, but they
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: gonna hold it because they know nine times out of
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: ten they slipped somewhere and did something they wasn't supposed to.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Do you feel me.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: Is there a certain amount of time they co legally
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: hold it and have to release it or.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Nah, they do not have to release all of the
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: court documents. They do not have to release. It's strict
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: and they try the best. Every lawyer I'm sitting with
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: like they gonna try their best to not release those documents.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a fight before I can even
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: get deep into the lawsuits.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 8: Well that's another key piece of the story.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: So you know, keep writing this book, man, because I
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: feel like it's gonna come to fruition as far as
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: you're getting it on TV docum.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm shop. I'm shopping in my life story to
• 1:05:32
