- 4:32Speaker 1: I don't like bringing all this shit because this just
- 4:34Speaker 1: be too much of a hassle. If you had to
- 4:36Speaker 1: estimate how much money you have invested in jewelry, what
- 4:41Speaker 1: would be your estimation, like selling fifty eight hundred thousand.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Do you look at jewelry as an investment? At first,
- 4:50Speaker 1: I was just I ain't even gonna lie to you.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I was just doing it because at first I seen
- 4:54Speaker 1: like but just before, like all the rappers was really
- 4:58Speaker 1: really getting it to it. I remember used to see
- 5:00Speaker 1: like the Migos and shit all the time, like they'll
- 5:04Speaker 1: be at the jury Stone. I'm like, damn, this is
- 5:05Speaker 1: what the roper was about to get into, like Juris.
- 5:07Speaker 1: So I just started buying it. But then as I
- 5:10Speaker 1: learned it, I had to learn like watches is what
- 5:13Speaker 1: keep value watches and Cuban links and shit like that.
- 5:16Speaker 1: So I was like, man, I'm about to just start
- 5:18Speaker 1: buying like watches and Cuban links and stuff like that.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I heard that if you flood your watch, though, it
- 5:25Speaker 1: takes away from the long term values. That true, yeah,
- 5:27Speaker 1: it do takeaway for some watch, but right now, like
- 5:31Speaker 1: how to how to like how the pandemic and stuff
- 5:34Speaker 1: is from what the jewelers tell me, Like he was
- 5:36Speaker 1: trying to buy my ap from me. He be trying
- 5:38Speaker 1: to buy it back. Yeah, he be trying to buy
- 5:39Speaker 1: it back just for saying like everything lo on everything
- 5:41Speaker 1: right now? Oh wow, that's crazy. Do you know? It's
- 5:46Speaker 1: interesting because we're in a point in time in the
- 5:49Speaker 1: world where there's people out here that are real desperate
- 5:52Speaker 1: to hit a lick. Does that make you You just
- 5:54Speaker 1: said that you don't move around a lot when you
- 5:55Speaker 1: travel with all your jewelry. Are you worried about, like
- 5:59Speaker 1: you know, being out of state or being out of
- 6:01Speaker 1: town and like you know, ship in Texas, Benny got shot,
- 6:04Speaker 1: Boozie got shot. You know, Yeah, it's been crazy. Are
- 6:08Speaker 1: you like, does that make you change the way you
- 6:10Speaker 1: move around? Because you're kind of known to have a
- 6:13Speaker 1: lot of that's kind of like you know, a thing
- 6:15Speaker 1: a lot of people know has that. Has that made
- 6:16Speaker 1: you reevaluate that at all? I mean, I feel like
- 6:19Speaker 1: nobody untouchable, but I just feel like, you know, it's
- 6:22Speaker 1: it's all about like what you're gonna do after your
- 6:24Speaker 1: shit get took or something, Like anybody can get some
- 6:26Speaker 1: jud took or something. But you gotta just handle it,
- 6:28Speaker 1: how to come and you got to know how to move,
- 6:31Speaker 1: like I don't be in places where I don't got
- 6:33Speaker 1: no beatings or why I don't why I shouldn't be
- 6:35Speaker 1: there at the time. So, have you ever had any
- 6:38Speaker 1: sort of incident happened like that where maybe someone trying
- 6:40Speaker 1: to catch you slipping no knock on? Yeah, yeah, we
- 6:43Speaker 1: can knock on what? Yeah, you got the project out?
- 6:48Speaker 1: First of all? You drop two projects this year, right,
- 6:51Speaker 1: Caroline Knocko. I dropped Caroline Knocker like as soon as
- 6:54Speaker 1: the Yeah, it's like, as soon as I dropped Caroline
- 6:57Speaker 1: knock On the Pandemic hit. It was crazy, Like I was.
- 7:00Speaker 1: I had so much shit like lined up because I
- 7:02Speaker 1: did a short film. I had like the money bag
- 7:07Speaker 1: your tour set up yep, yeah, the Baby tour was
- 7:09Speaker 1: set up in my own tour as soon as it happened,
- 7:12Speaker 1: like the Pandemic hit, and just so much live money
- 7:15Speaker 1: taking away from everybody, so much live money, especially someone
- 7:18Speaker 1: like Baby who was about to have a crazy festival
- 7:20Speaker 1: run for so yeah Baby, no Baby gonna make that
- 7:23Speaker 1: money regardless, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, I
- 7:27Speaker 1: mean I think that that's also a dope thing. It's
- 7:29Speaker 1: like a lot of people have taken advantage of the
- 7:31Speaker 1: fact during the pandemic, like and just have been dropping
- 7:34Speaker 1: even more music than they usually would, because it's almost
- 7:37Speaker 1: like you got to make up for the lost bread,
- 7:39Speaker 1: Like why sit on the music people? I feel like
- 7:41Speaker 1: now right now people are listening to music more than ever,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and they're listening to it differently, if that makes sense exactly.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I guess they appreciate it more. It ain't nothing else
- 7:48Speaker 1: to do but make music. Yeah, eight or three legend
- 7:55Speaker 1: South Carolina. You're from Columbia. Columbia, Yep, that's where Charlamage
- 7:59Speaker 1: started his radio career, right, yeah, first early on he was.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I don't know if that's where he necessarily started, but
- 8:05Speaker 1: I thank you from on like something to South Carolina
- 8:07Speaker 1: or something like that, Monk's Corner something. Yeah, I think
- 8:10Speaker 1: that's close to something Charleston. It's about Charleston. Maybe he
- 8:13Speaker 1: was in Charleston, not yeah, Charleston, but yeah, he most
- 8:17Speaker 1: definitely was. He got ties in Colombia for so. Yeah. Yeah,
- 8:21Speaker 1: I was just talking to Carter about kind of like
- 8:25Speaker 1: the Carolinas in general, being they're such an important part
- 8:29Speaker 1: of rappers careers. That we don't even acknowledge because of
- 8:34Speaker 1: all the radio stations that are in both of those states.
- 8:37Speaker 1: And it's almost like you can't really find an artist
- 8:41Speaker 1: that has really popped like without having that region on lock. Yeah. Yeah,
- 8:48Speaker 1: And it's crazy because like like the Carolinas there, you know,
- 8:53Speaker 1: they'll go crazy like when like anybody else come, but
- 8:57Speaker 1: it's like it's it's kind of weird, like when you're
- 8:59Speaker 1: from there. I guess it's it's like that everywhere. Yeah,
- 9:01Speaker 1: I don't really use that as excuse, but most definitely,
- 9:03Speaker 1: like Carolina would be one of the first places where
- 9:06Speaker 1: all the people come and make their money for so
- 9:09Speaker 1: because they're gonna they're gonna book them, the promoter's gonna
- 9:11Speaker 1: book them, and people gonna show up and go crazy
- 9:14Speaker 1: for them. What do you how do you compare North
- 9:16Speaker 1: Carolina versus South Carolina? Is it? Like, what's the big difference?
- 9:19Speaker 1: If any like no Carolina a little bit more kind
- 9:23Speaker 1: of advanced, Like we don't even got no NFL team,
- 9:27Speaker 1: Like the biggest I just claimed the Panthers because Carolina, Yes,
- 9:31Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers the street. So that's all we got in it.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Only thing like Columbia got is like the game Cocks,
- 9:38Speaker 1: like the US. I remember seeing those hats as a
- 9:40Speaker 1: kid and it would just say cox on it, and
- 9:44Speaker 1: I'd be like, Yo, fam, what is going on? What
- 9:48Speaker 1: is this? Yeah? Yeah, I'd be at the lids and
- 9:51Speaker 1: it'd be a hat to just said cox on it.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I'd be like, bro, what the fuck? Oh this South
- 9:54Speaker 1: Carolina game Cocks. They should put the whole thing on there.
- 9:57Speaker 1: That's so crazy. It is, so you aligning yourself with UH,
- 10:07Speaker 1: with Carter and Arnold and those guys, what point in
- 10:11Speaker 1: time did you sign Because you were making noise prior
- 10:15Speaker 1: to that, obviously, but at what point in time did
- 10:18Speaker 1: you make that affiliation official? I'd say about I've been
- 10:22Speaker 1: signed like the SMC as far as like probably like
- 10:26Speaker 1: a year and a half. So yeah, it's something like that.
- 10:29Speaker 1: So it's been a while. I think it's dope. I
- 10:30Speaker 1: was just telling Carter this. I was like, Yo, the
- 10:32Speaker 1: fact that like all of the artists over there are
- 10:35Speaker 1: from the Carolinas. Yeah, it's so special. See, I think
- 10:39Speaker 1: on a planet that shit. Like, I think he just
- 10:41Speaker 1: wanted like all his artists to be from Carolina, whether
- 10:44Speaker 1: it's South and North Carolina, Like he wants all his
- 10:47Speaker 1: artists to be from Carolina. Yeah, because if you're in
- 10:49Speaker 1: his position, you could sign anybody. Yeah, yeah he can,
- 10:52Speaker 1: and anybody probably be with him to sign. Yeah. And
- 10:54Speaker 1: now it's like just the fact he's that there's just
- 10:57Speaker 1: such an intentional effort to put on the Carolina is
- 11:02Speaker 1: a special bro Like I think it's super dope. Now,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you're obviously you obviously have a lot of money that
- 11:09Speaker 1: might not necessarily be rap money. What like, what would
- 11:15Speaker 1: you you know, there's up and cooming artists who make
- 11:20Speaker 1: mistakes who you know, yeah, got one foot in, one
- 11:24Speaker 1: foot out, you know what I'm saying. Like, you seem
- 11:26Speaker 1: to be doing very well for yourself, and you seem
- 11:29Speaker 1: to be fully entrenched in the rap game now. But
- 11:31Speaker 1: what would be some advice you would give to some
- 11:33Speaker 1: up and coming artists that might be watching this that
- 11:35Speaker 1: might kind of, you know, still have one foot in
- 11:37Speaker 1: the streets one foot out, Like you know what I'm saying,
- 11:39Speaker 1: Like what basically I tell them just invest their money,
- 11:43Speaker 1: like don't be cheap, like you know what I'm saying,
- 11:46Speaker 1: don't be like if you're gonna do the rap, like,
- 11:49Speaker 1: you gotta put like at least ninety in that shit,
- 11:54Speaker 1: you seem like reinvest your own money into your wrap. Yeah,
- 11:57Speaker 1: put your money, like reinvest your money into your career,
- 12:00Speaker 1: like because you got to show people that you said
- 12:02Speaker 1: before they even willing to put money into you. Like
- 12:06Speaker 1: most people like be like they'll go buy some cushion,
- 12:10Speaker 1: not even want to go pay for studio times and
- 12:12Speaker 1: shit like that, like that shit be backwards, but they
- 12:14Speaker 1: want to. Yeah, they'll go buy a five hundreds a
- 12:16Speaker 1: belt or get a whole Goddamn. That's when I realized,
- 12:19Speaker 1: like I was doing ship backwards. Like when I realized,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I was like, hold up, man, I got like on
- 12:25Speaker 1: four five thousand dollars outfit and I'm I'm getting a
- 12:29Speaker 1: thousand dollars video. Man I No, I got to flip
- 12:32Speaker 1: that around. Yeah, Like that's if I'm willing to spend
- 12:34Speaker 1: this on close, I gotta be willing to spend double
- 12:36Speaker 1: that on something to take my music career to the
- 12:39Speaker 1: video to the next level and exactly like but shit,
- 12:42Speaker 1: people don't be understanding that, But shit, they'll figure it out.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Who's the first big name or big artists that we
- 12:49Speaker 1: might know that like gave you a co sign early
- 12:51Speaker 1: on like PB of Young Dog that's the realist, bro. Yeah,
- 12:58Speaker 1: always silid. What year is that? That probably was like
- 13:02Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen, fourteen, probably sooner than probably earlier
- 13:08Speaker 1: than that. I can't really remember, but because I had
- 13:09Speaker 1: did a song with him a long time ago. But
- 13:13Speaker 1: you know, I was like on some young ship still
- 13:15Speaker 1: one foot in, one foot out. So you know, he
- 13:18Speaker 1: probably did a song with millions of people, but he
- 13:20Speaker 1: probably like what I'm thinking happening is with me? Keep
- 13:24Speaker 1: going up like I kept going, And we ran into
- 13:27Speaker 1: each other again, and he was like, damn, that's like
- 13:29Speaker 1: a different conversation. Different They were like, damn, that's a
- 13:32Speaker 1: little buddy who you know what I'm saying. Because back
- 13:34Speaker 1: then I paid him for the verse. Yeah, y'all catch
- 13:36Speaker 1: him out for the I paid him in all fives
- 13:38Speaker 1: and teens, like trap money, so he already knew like
- 13:41Speaker 1: back then, so when we ran into each other again,
- 13:43Speaker 1: he was like, damn, he's still grinding. And what was
- 13:46Speaker 1: what was the ticket on the dolphers? Then I think, like,
- 13:49Speaker 1: I think I paid like eight thousand, and then I
- 13:52Speaker 1: paid him another team for the video though you gotta
- 13:54Speaker 1: double up for the video. Yeah, yeah, I paid the
- 13:56Speaker 1: team I was like fucking like. I used to love
- 13:58Speaker 1: like giving the I used to look at everybody like
- 14:00Speaker 1: rapt niggas, but now I'm a raper. I hate when
- 14:03Speaker 1: somebody call me a rot nick because I feel like
- 14:04Speaker 1: kind of like you're trying to discredit somebody. But just
- 14:07Speaker 1: caut a niggas be rapping like that mean they don't
- 14:09Speaker 1: mean they ain't solid. Most of these niggas some of
- 14:12Speaker 1: them solid, not all of them. But obviously coming from
- 14:18Speaker 1: your background, talk about what's the biggest L you've taken
- 14:22Speaker 1: in the streets. Man? You know everyone's I mean not everyone,
- 14:27Speaker 1: but you know, dabbling that world. You know that sometimes
- 14:29Speaker 1: you take it l. Sometimes the package you get lost
- 14:31Speaker 1: in the mail or so you know, whatever it is.
- 14:34Speaker 1: One time, shit, I lost like two hundred and fift thousands.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Shit this year I lost like one eighty, but I
- 14:40Speaker 1: don't I don't trip about it. So you lost two
- 14:43Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand one time at one time? What
- 14:46Speaker 1: what can give us as much of the circumstances you
- 14:48Speaker 1: can give us without snitching on yourself. I mean, just
- 14:51Speaker 1: sin lost it got lost. He got lost. I guess
- 14:56Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But we got to say
- 14:58Speaker 1: it back from people don't want to you complain. Yeah,
- 15:01Speaker 1: bounce it back from a two hundred and fifty thousand
- 15:03Speaker 1: dollars L bros. That's that's rough. How did you like
- 15:07Speaker 1: the one eighty this year? What was that same situation?
- 15:10Speaker 1: Some it's some some other shit. That's some man, I got.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Someone broke into my car this year. Yeah, it took
- 15:18Speaker 1: fifteen thousand in cash out of my trunk. Bro while
- 15:20Speaker 1: I was in a notary. Yeah, that that shit hurt.
- 15:23Speaker 1: It hit different though you don't. I'll be looking at it.
- 15:25Speaker 1: I don't care if I lose a thousand or one
- 15:28Speaker 1: hundred thousand. That shit still hit the same. Yeah, especially
- 15:32Speaker 1: someone takes it from you. If you want to kill somebody, yeah,
- 15:35Speaker 1: like God damn. Like, but I guess you know, bigger
- 15:39Speaker 1: risk uff the reward. But one thing about me was
- 15:41Speaker 1: like when I always lose that type of money, like
- 15:45Speaker 1: even when you know, because my mom and my mom recaul,
- 15:48Speaker 1: I tell my mom done everything, but my mom will
- 15:50Speaker 1: be like, man, every time, you always bounce back from it,
- 15:53Speaker 1: and I always like I lost. I remember I took
- 15:56Speaker 1: a big here. Then that's when on the call me,
- 16:01Speaker 1: it was like in the scope I want to sign
- 16:03Speaker 1: and he told me to know. Yeah, so every time
- 16:05Speaker 1: I always take a loss, our bounce back from it,
- 16:07Speaker 1: like God to bless me was way bigger than what
- 16:10Speaker 1: I lost. It's like you took the l and then
- 16:12Speaker 1: then you signed an interscope right after exactly like you
- 16:15Speaker 1: know what, I ain't even dripping, And that was one
- 16:17Speaker 1: of the biggest losses I ever took in like like
- 16:20Speaker 1: I always probably lost like a little thirty here here, yeah, yeah,
- 16:23Speaker 1: but that was the biggest loss. And then right after that,
- 16:25Speaker 1: I'll say, like a week later and I had a show,
- 16:28Speaker 1: like when it happened, I had a show in Virginia. Man,
- 16:31Speaker 1: I was about to go home, like I ain't even
- 16:33Speaker 1: want to do this. Just fuck up your whole fucking
- 16:35Speaker 1: move man, that shit, fuck your whole vibe, like we
- 16:38Speaker 1: got girls in all around. I'm like, man, fuck the hells,
- 16:41Speaker 1: Like I ain't even thinking about this shit, yo, what's crazy?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Is Like the reason why I really really resonated with
- 16:46Speaker 1: Babies music early on was because I felt like he
- 16:49Speaker 1: did such a good job of talking about selling weed,
- 16:53Speaker 1: like the packs and shit, you know what I'm saying,
- 16:54Speaker 1: Like I fact, like, man, I'm talking about even before
- 16:57Speaker 1: that obviously he sugar is huge. But even before that,
- 16:59Speaker 1: like like I was like, yeah, I've never heard anybody
- 17:02Speaker 1: rap about selling weeds that I could relate to more
- 17:05Speaker 1: than like burner, you know, something like that. But but
- 17:08Speaker 1: he would. But baby told me that he used to
- 17:10Speaker 1: sell the He would used to vacuum seal up rabbit food.
- 17:15Speaker 1: This game, right, which is dangerous. You get caught slipping.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Did you ever dabble in any sort of that? Nah?
- 17:23Speaker 1: I ain't never did. I did straight up business. I
- 17:26Speaker 1: ain't never like I ain't really been into that world,
- 17:28Speaker 1: like not knocking somebody who do it, But nah, I
- 17:31Speaker 1: do straight up business. I ain't never really had the
- 17:34Speaker 1: robbing for this. Yeah, because I was like, damn, bro,
- 17:37Speaker 1: like I'm glad you're still here. Yeah, he made it
- 17:41Speaker 1: through it because that kind of ship man, you you
- 17:43Speaker 1: sells that rabbit food of the wrong people. It's they
- 17:45Speaker 1: gonna kiy in South Carolina. I don't know about No Carolina,
- 17:48Speaker 1: but you would have got you asked about it even
- 17:49Speaker 1: right now, especially how big you is. It wouldn't work.
- 17:53Speaker 1: I saw some where it said that you were the
- 17:55Speaker 1: richest rapper in South Carolina. Man. The craziest thing is
- 17:59Speaker 1: I ain't don't even name myself that, like the like
- 18:03Speaker 1: the people was comming that like way back, just commenting
- 18:07Speaker 1: on my Instagram. So I made it a song. And
- 18:10Speaker 1: ever since I made a song, like that's when everybody's
- 18:13Speaker 1: just been calling me that shit. But ain't nobody never
- 18:15Speaker 1: challenged it. So like fucking financially, do you do you
- 18:19Speaker 1: like to dabble in any sort of like real estate
- 18:21Speaker 1: investing businesses, like like you got like I mean, you
- 18:24Speaker 1: know you got a lot of fucking jewelry. Yeah, dang,
- 18:27Speaker 1: that's a that's just like really for trophies and shit.
- 18:30Speaker 1: But like I do real estate, like we got smoke shops.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I'm about to open a restaurant restaurant for like my family.
- 18:37Speaker 1: But I just built my crib like like from a dirt.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I built it like it's just from the mud, And
- 18:44Speaker 1: like always that was always a goal for me, like
- 18:46Speaker 1: the I want to build a house. So you know
- 18:49Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I be into that type shit like
- 18:51Speaker 1: real estate, like I ain't no fool, Like I ain't
- 18:53Speaker 1: just doing like buying Jerry doing dumb shit like that.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Was there ever anything you bought that you regretted buying?
- 18:59Speaker 1: Like like immediately after like something that was just like
- 19:02Speaker 1: fuck man, what did I just do? Like No, I
- 19:07Speaker 1: can't really think that off here, like saying something I regret. No,
- 19:12Speaker 1: I can't really think how is how's your experience been
- 19:15Speaker 1: so far with the Interscope situation. It's been cool, Like
- 19:18Speaker 1: you know, it's still like it's a real good umbrella,
- 19:21Speaker 1: you know, and a good machine to have with you.
- 19:24Speaker 1: But it's like it's still on the artist. It's still
- 19:26Speaker 1: on you. You still got to hat yourself up. Yeah, exactly.
- 19:29Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I feel like, you know,
- 19:31Speaker 1: a label know how to take something that's it's already
- 19:34Speaker 1: moving and make it, Yeah, make it bigger than life.
- 19:37Speaker 1: But you know, I signed my dial for different reasons,
- 19:39Speaker 1: so you know what I'm saying, Like, I still I
- 19:42Speaker 1: come from the independent game, so I just know how
- 19:44Speaker 1: to I'm still move around independently like I ain't ain't
- 19:47Speaker 1: with a major. Yeah. Plus that you got all your
- 19:50Speaker 1: independent catalog, it's gonna keep going up, you know. Yeah,
- 19:52Speaker 1: And that's a good thing they did for me too.
- 19:54Speaker 1: They they let me keep all that shit. That's important
- 19:58Speaker 1: because you become you know, baby or whoever, like depending
- 20:02Speaker 1: analog gonna go crazy forever exactly. That's dope, man, So
- 20:06Speaker 1: eight or three legend? Who else? Can you kind of
- 20:08Speaker 1: give us a breakdown of like the hip hop scene
- 20:10Speaker 1: in South Carolina specifically, because I feel like, like you
- 20:15Speaker 1: were saying earlier a little bit like it's almost harder
- 20:17Speaker 1: to like get support from your own people until you
- 20:20Speaker 1: start popping. Then everybody want to come and jump on see,
- 20:23Speaker 1: not like people fuck with me in Carolina like nofen South.
- 20:27Speaker 1: But at first it was like I used to feel
- 20:29Speaker 1: like I was it was me against everybody, but you know,
- 20:31Speaker 1: because like it was like how it came in, this
- 20:35Speaker 1: shit like especially at home, but how it came out
- 20:38Speaker 1: it was so like unrebs, like, ain't no way he
- 20:41Speaker 1: doing it like that other than like if you like
- 20:43Speaker 1: in my immediate circle, then you know it's but other
- 20:46Speaker 1: than that, it's like, man, no way he doing it
- 20:48Speaker 1: like that. Like so it's hard for them to try
- 20:50Speaker 1: to support it or want to support it. But and
- 20:53Speaker 1: then you gotta think we're coming from him like that
- 20:56Speaker 1: shit is it's a little country time, so it ain't
- 20:59Speaker 1: nobody major and nobody the major came from out of there,
- 21:02Speaker 1: like the closest way we had was like little roue
- 21:05Speaker 1: yep shit like that live rue and that's about it.
- 21:09Speaker 1: I forgot about Yeah, you know what I'm saying. He
- 21:11Speaker 1: never really got to that that level. Like this is
- 21:14Speaker 1: the biggest like the Carolina's thing ever been, like period,
- 21:17Speaker 1: like South End North, Like this is the biggest it
- 21:20Speaker 1: done been because like when Arnold, even with the like
- 21:24Speaker 1: Arnold did what he did, but even with the artist,
- 21:25Speaker 1: like me and Baby got a relationship where it's like
- 21:29Speaker 1: we kind of bridge the gap to a North and
- 21:31Speaker 1: South Carolina. How long have you guys had that? Like
- 21:34Speaker 1: because obviously Baby independently been running shit for a long time,
- 21:39Speaker 1: you know, and the but like how long did you
- 21:41Speaker 1: like like did you guys have a rapport like prior
- 21:43Speaker 1: to you signing for sure? Yeah? Yeah, Like I knew
- 21:46Speaker 1: Baby like five years ago, probably like five years ago.
- 21:51Speaker 1: We went to the studio together. It was just him
- 21:54Speaker 1: by itself and me and my brother put up. We
- 21:56Speaker 1: did like four five songs that night. I been new Baby.
- 21:59Speaker 1: And then like he used to see me coming up
- 22:01Speaker 1: there in the clubs, running around throwing money, doing stuff,
- 22:04Speaker 1: and he'll do the same thing, and you know, like
- 22:07Speaker 1: that's why he showed me the type of love he
- 22:09Speaker 1: showed me because he know like what I'm talking about,
- 22:11Speaker 1: Like that boy really doing it, like he really come
- 22:13Speaker 1: from it. So that's why he always showed me love. Anytime,
- 22:17Speaker 1: anytime I need him, I can call him. I just
- 22:19Speaker 1: called to ask him about some some shit the other day.
- 22:21Speaker 1: He pick up every time. Yeah, that's big man. Did
- 22:24Speaker 1: What did you learn in the streets that you've been
- 22:27Speaker 1: able to apply to your to your music career. Just

- 22:34Speaker 1: have the best number, so you gotta outwork everybody. So
- 22:37Speaker 1: in the rock game, you know what I'm saying, You
- 22:39Speaker 1: gotta outwork everybody and try to have the best product
- 22:42Speaker 1: in your lane. Like I learned my lane life as
