- 1:31Speaker 1: boutle keV Show special guests in here West Orlando Hot Boy, Yes, sir,
- 1:37Speaker 1: what they do? What's hey? Man? It's crazy because I
- 1:40Speaker 1: lived in I did radio in Tampa for like two
- 1:44Speaker 1: two and a half years. I used to be in
- 1:46Speaker 1: Orlando alive. It's like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, So like
- 1:51Speaker 1: at that time, Orlando really hadn't like popped, like it's
- 1:55Speaker 1: popping right now. There was like a cat you remember Caski,
- 1:59Speaker 1: the white boy cash Money. So Caski was from Orlando.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I can't really nate too much people who came up
- 2:07Speaker 1: out of who blew up out of Yeah, at that
- 2:09Speaker 1: point in time, like the only music that was like
- 2:11Speaker 1: coming over from from Orlando to Tampa was the Woop guy,
- 2:13Speaker 1: who obviously just dissed you on a song. So what
- 2:17Speaker 1: happened there was because Whoop is kind of like the
- 2:19Speaker 1: og in Orlando, and you guys are from the same area, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 2:24Speaker 1: both of us from the West side. What why uh
- 2:27Speaker 1: why the hostility on his on his end, Obviously I'm
- 2:30Speaker 1: not totally hip to the situation, so maybe you can
- 2:32Speaker 1: educate me. I don't even know. I don't really know
- 2:34Speaker 1: dude like that. So what I'm saying, I don't even
- 2:38Speaker 1: know bruh like that. So because he's kind of like older, right,
- 2:41Speaker 1: he's been doing music a lot longer than you obviously, right.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I mean I just know, like when when I was
- 2:48Speaker 1: living in Florida, which was like six seven years ago,
- 2:50Speaker 1: he was the name out of Orlando you would hear. Yeah,
- 2:55Speaker 1: so I would say like probably the previous generation of
- 2:57Speaker 1: Orlando music. Obviously he's still active. Shout out to w
- 3:00Speaker 1: but like, yeah, so you don't even know him like
- 3:02Speaker 1: that for him to be really having an issue with
- 3:04Speaker 1: what you're saying. Yeah, I don't know how you know.
- 3:10Speaker 1: You're out here the Hall of Fame tour. Shout out
- 3:12Speaker 1: to Polo G. Yeah, how's that tour been. It's been.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It's been lovely though, but you know, you know, I'm
- 3:18Speaker 1: still kind of it just started, right, Nah. It started
- 3:21Speaker 1: like I'm gonna say about two two three months ago,
- 3:24Speaker 1: but we went on a break because like the second row,
- 3:28Speaker 1: because I just saw the flyer and it's like this
- 3:30Speaker 1: is like the second or third day on the flyer
- 3:31Speaker 1: at least. No, this is the second This is the
- 3:34Speaker 1: second flyer, That's what I'm saying. It's like the second
- 3:36Speaker 1: leg of the tour. Yeah, what's it been like? Obviously
- 3:39Speaker 1: because you're pretty much the main support for the tour, Like,
- 3:43Speaker 1: what's that been like? You know, because Polo G's fans
- 3:45Speaker 1: are insane. Yeah, his fans crazy too, And it's crazy
- 3:49Speaker 1: because a lot of them's hip to my music too.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But I want to say all them, like, you know
- 3:55Speaker 1: how everybody in there, they came for poloumn for me
- 3:59Speaker 1: a song, I say, a decent amount of people. They
- 4:02Speaker 1: be rocking with me. You know, I'm a I'm a
- 4:04Speaker 1: rocket regardless though, but they be rocking with me. Yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 1: And this is my first tour. This is your first
- 4:10Speaker 1: official tour. Yeah, because I'm sure you've been getting the
- 4:12Speaker 1: back end, the bags, getting the brown bags, you know,
- 4:14Speaker 1: doing the Florida that I've been circuit and all that. Yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 1: I was doing. See, I went through the whole Florida,
- 4:19Speaker 1: but it was it really wasn't no tour though, It's
- 4:22Speaker 1: just spot dates. Yeah, So this is like, yo, you
- 4:24Speaker 1: guys gotta you guys got a bus or a sprinter
- 4:26Speaker 1: or what? Now? I won't got no, we're flying. It's
- 4:28Speaker 1: just flying day to day. Wow. So now that you've
- 4:33Speaker 1: gotten your first tour, like, what is something that you've
- 4:35Speaker 1: learned about maybe like traveling or just because I feel
- 4:40Speaker 1: like the live show is one of the more underrated
- 4:42Speaker 1: most important parts of like any artist's repertoire, Like is
- 4:46Speaker 1: there anything you've learned about performing or no depth like
- 4:49Speaker 1: like like Boom, like I just be I just be
- 4:51Speaker 1: learning shit like like when I when I watch like
- 4:55Speaker 1: because Boom, I set right before polog right so after
- 4:58Speaker 1: my said, I sit there, just set and just be
- 5:01Speaker 1: learning like a little certain ship like like Boom, like
- 5:05Speaker 1: his DJ, his DJ, his DJ, like do certain ship
- 5:10Speaker 1: they be like damn, my DJ should do that. It's
- 5:12Speaker 1: like look shit like that learning or like learn like
- 5:16Speaker 1: how how he interact with the crowd cause you know,
- 5:19Speaker 1: you know, tour different from clubs, club totally different. Clubs
- 5:24Speaker 1: is like you pull up the DJ, throw some ship on,
- 5:26Speaker 1: you do two, three or four records, then back in
- 5:29Speaker 1: section like Boom. It's not even though I do perform
- 5:33Speaker 1: at clubs, like I perform at my best like I
- 5:35Speaker 1: perform at the tour, but it's like the club not
- 5:39Speaker 1: really focused on performance. It's just like vib it's just
- 5:42Speaker 1: I don't know, but tour, you got a real deal perform.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You can't just sit there and and it ain't nobody
- 5:47Speaker 1: on stage with you, Like everyone's looking at you. You
- 5:51Speaker 1: perform at a club, yeah, it's like you're one of
- 5:53Speaker 1: the things going on. People in the partying, people are
- 5:56Speaker 1: in there with the you know, trying to get on
- 5:57Speaker 1: the shorty like people are in their section. When you're
- 6:00Speaker 1: on stage, people are everyone's looking up at you. It's
- 6:04Speaker 1: like a different type of pressure. What is it about Orlando?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Because I feel like right now Orlando is one of
- 6:12Speaker 1: the hot pockets in music that, like, you know, Jacksonville's
- 6:16Speaker 1: another one. Obviously Alabama's got a wave going right now,
- 6:21Speaker 1: but like Orlando, I feel like historically in hip hop
- 6:25Speaker 1: hasn't really had like a lot of national representation. What
- 6:28Speaker 1: do you think it is about Orlando that is kind
- 6:32Speaker 1: of like Y'all's time right now that like finally people
- 6:34Speaker 1: are coming around to paying attention to y'all city. A
- 6:37Speaker 1: lot of people been been paying aitent. I say, like
- 6:40Speaker 1: we had we had a couple come come out of Orlando,
- 6:42Speaker 1: but ain't like like I don't got no megastar. Well,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I remember, like back in the day, the other person
- 6:49Speaker 1: I forgot smiles in South Star. Do you remember smiles
- 6:52Speaker 1: in South Star? That's two people. There's two people. It
- 6:54Speaker 1: was an Asian dude and a black dude. In like
- 6:56Speaker 1: early two thousands, they had a record I'm born in
- 7:00Speaker 1: I was born in two thousands. This is way before
- 7:04Speaker 1: you even thought about rapid But like, I can't think
- 7:07Speaker 1: like I think like yourself, Block nine, Poudie, Like, I
- 7:10Speaker 1: feel like, like this way of Orlando is the best.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Uh you know it's been at least nationally as far
- 7:17Speaker 1: as attension. Yeah, yeah, at Orlando. I could say that too.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I could say that how much does like because Orlando
- 7:27Speaker 1: culturally is such a different place than like next door
- 7:31Speaker 1: is like Polk County, right, and the next door to
- 7:33Speaker 1: that is Tampa. And if you were to go from
- 7:36Speaker 1: like Tampa to Orlando to like the clubs, it's like
- 7:40Speaker 1: day and night, it's like you would think that you're
- 7:42Speaker 1: in a whole different region of the country because Orlando
- 7:46Speaker 1: feels like it just feels a lot different than a
- 7:49Speaker 1: lot of other parts of Florida. Like, like, how different
- 7:52Speaker 1: is because I mean, because I know this like as
- 7:56Speaker 1: a club DJ. I know I could DJ a club
- 7:58Speaker 1: sky in Ebor City and Tampa and play certain ship
- 8:00Speaker 1: that will go crazy. But if I go to Orlando
- 8:03Speaker 1: and DJ downtown Orlando, a lot of other ship will
- 8:07Speaker 1: go up that wouldn't work. And it just feels like
- 8:10Speaker 1: as close as everything is, things are still like really
- 8:13Speaker 1: really different. I don't really I don't really know how
- 8:17Speaker 1: like no other city is for I don't really be
- 8:20Speaker 1: in no other city. I feel like Miami and ship.
- 8:25Speaker 1: So just funny. I saw It's crazy. I saw you walking,
- 8:28Speaker 1: uh when I went to Rolling Loud of Miami earlier
- 8:31Speaker 1: this year, and we you were like walking out while
- 8:35Speaker 1: I was walking in. So I saw you. How was
- 8:38Speaker 1: how was the experience of Rolling Loud? You were also
- 8:42Speaker 1: just kind of kicking it in my Yeah, you were
- 8:43Speaker 1: just kind of kicking it watching the show too at
- 8:45Speaker 1: certain points because I remember seeing you in the VIP area. Yeah,
- 8:47Speaker 1: I was no Miami lit. You know, Florida gonna fuck
- 8:51Speaker 1: with me though, you know that, you know that? So
- 8:53Speaker 1: that was that was lit though. Man, you have the
- 8:58Speaker 1: same management shop, one hundred K Management. There's a lot
- 9:02Speaker 1: of other dope artists, but notably Melly Yeah, we actually
- 9:07Speaker 1: did the last YNW. Melly interview before he turned himself
- 9:10Speaker 1: in What what did you ever have a relationship with him? Or? Yes,
- 9:16Speaker 1: me and Melly, Like, I think it's about like twoenty fifteen.
- 9:21Speaker 1: That's when I wanted my program, you know what I'm saying.
- 9:23Speaker 1: I wanted my program. Melly went to a program too,
- 9:26Speaker 1: but he was in there with people from the Oh
- 9:28Speaker 1: and stuff. They'd be like, oh, Melly asked about you,
- 9:30Speaker 1: Melly asked about you whatever. Around that time in both
- 9:33Speaker 1: of us was like rapping, just not starting to get
- 9:36Speaker 1: our buzz, like around the same time. But Boom, yeah,
- 9:39Speaker 1: Melli was asking about me. You know, I've never seen
- 9:40Speaker 1: Melly before. You guys never actually physically met. Nah, but
- 9:44Speaker 1: you guys were both locked up at the same time.
- 9:46Speaker 1: It was locked up at the same time. Okay, Boom
- 9:48Speaker 1: got out separate places though, Yeah, he got out then
- 9:51Speaker 1: I got out shortly after. But it was like Boom
- 9:55Speaker 1: bro was like he was grinding though. When I was
- 9:58Speaker 1: in the program, I was watching him. Yeah I got out,
- 10:00Speaker 1: I'm watching him. I'm like, damn taking off, going crazy.
- 10:04Speaker 1: But you know, Medi gonna always sow love, you know
- 10:06Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So mell around. He put my name
- 10:09Speaker 1: in the song, but I ain't. I ain't noticed, I
- 10:12Speaker 1: ain't notice to got out, I'm like, huh go to it,
- 10:17Speaker 1: like yeah, that's real. But we never seen each other.
- 10:19Speaker 1: We under the same management, and I don't talk to
- 10:21Speaker 1: Milly before we got a song and now you guys
- 10:23Speaker 1: have dropped it out of course. Yeah, we got like
- 10:26Speaker 1: two songs. What was the line that he dropped your name?
- 10:29Speaker 1: And he says, uh, switcher, just like what my first
- 10:34Speaker 1: song I ever released calls true that went crazy? Like
- 10:38Speaker 1: that shit went crazy. That was like my first song
- 10:41Speaker 1: I released. Though, Yeah, no, it's crazy because like he
- 10:45Speaker 1: got so I mean, he was already his trajectory was crazy,
- 10:49Speaker 1: but then him getting locked up. It feels like he
- 10:52Speaker 1: never got to experience like being his Like he got
- 10:56Speaker 1: bigger once he got locked up, if that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah,
- 11:00Speaker 1: not rely was already he was already. No, No No, he
- 11:02Speaker 1: was there, No, he was there. But I just mean,
- 11:04Speaker 1: like I feel like a lot of the ri I
- 11:06Speaker 1: A A certifications came after he got locked up, Like
- 11:09Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like it was like yeah,
- 11:11Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It seemed like a
- 11:16Speaker 1: nice dude, man with what is I mean? Obviously shout
- 11:21Speaker 1: out to Dolph? Which just happened with Dolph? I'm wondering, like,
- 11:23Speaker 1: you know what happened to Nipsey out here? Are you
- 11:26Speaker 1: at home a lot? Do you still stay in Orlando?
- 11:28Speaker 1: Because I always, like, I always feel like when you
- 11:32Speaker 1: stay where you're from, it's the hottest for you, if
- 11:35Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah? Do you are you still in Orlando?
- 11:40Speaker 1: I live everywhere though, Okay, I love everywhere. Do you
- 11:44Speaker 1: find yourself moving like differently when you are back home though,
- 11:47Speaker 1: because you probably have more haters, there more people who
- 11:51Speaker 1: are kind of gunning for you, like at home. Yeah,
- 11:54Speaker 1: but like I moved like that all the time. I
- 11:57Speaker 1: move like that all the time. So I mean like
- 11:59Speaker 1: I'm like it's new to me and like I gotta
- 12:02Speaker 1: go change up behind moving because I'm done. I moved
- 12:05Speaker 1: like that all the time. Yeah, Orlando for people who
- 12:08Speaker 1: think it's sweet, Like obviously, people who've never been to
- 12:12Speaker 1: Orlando think of Disneyland and they think of yeah, you know,
- 12:15Speaker 1: you know, every city got they cut apart everybody, every
- 12:18Speaker 1: every city got they screet parts every you know what
- 12:21Speaker 1: I'm saying, They screet parts of rich party part projects.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Every city got that. Yeah, No, I've been to I
- 12:30Speaker 1: love have you ever been to? Do you know who
- 12:31Speaker 1: Mike Busey is? Nah? Okay man, I gotta tap you
- 12:34Speaker 1: in with the homie Mike Busey. Mike Busey got a
- 12:38Speaker 1: he got a mansion and I think it's in Kassimi
- 12:41Speaker 1: or It's like, what do you do? He's just a
- 12:46Speaker 1: he's a wild boy man. So this guy, Mike Busey,
- 12:49Speaker 1: he lives, He's from Orlando. He's got this huge mansion
- 12:53Speaker 1: called the Sausage Castle. Who just shot a video there.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Joiner Lucas just shot a video there. Post Malones shot
- 13:01Speaker 1: videos there. It's like the white trash playboy mansion. Plies
- 13:06Speaker 1: has shot like three videos at this dude's crib. I
- 13:10Speaker 1: gotta tap you in. You go over there, there's like
- 13:12Speaker 1: fifty like midget strippers, alligators, pigs, all kinds of bro. Bro.
- 13:19Speaker 1: It's insane, bro. It's like it's like an Orlando area delicacy.
- 13:23Speaker 1: For those who know about it. It's like some if
- 13:25Speaker 1: you know, you know type shit. Put some wild nights
- 13:28Speaker 1: there to say the least, but a lot of people
- 13:31Speaker 1: go over to this house because he's got like a
- 13:33Speaker 1: crazy gun collection and they'll shoot videos there. He's got
- 13:36Speaker 1: flamethrowers and again, midgets, you know what I'm saying. And
- 13:41Speaker 1: just there's regular women there as well. Oh cool nothing.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I don't even know if we could call midgets midgets.
- 13:49Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's frowned upon. Little people,
- 13:53Speaker 1: little people, little people. Man, Yo, this record you got
- 13:58Speaker 1: with Future is going crazy. It's going crazy in the club.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Do you feel like this is like for you? Because
- 14:04Speaker 1: I feel like this was your first because I've been
- 14:06Speaker 1: paying attention to ship for a minute, but I feel
- 14:08Speaker 1: like this record with Future is the first record of
- 14:11Speaker 1: yours that I felt like kind of started to hit
- 14:13Speaker 1: over here in the club on the West Coast, like
- 14:16Speaker 1: that made it this way, Like you got probably bigger
- 14:18Speaker 1: record streaming wise than like YouTube wise, but I feel
- 14:21Speaker 1: like in the club as far as like crossing over
- 14:24Speaker 1: on the West Coast. Do you think so too? Though?
- 14:26Speaker 1: I think that same thing though it feels like it
- 14:28Speaker 1: right because I'm like, man, people hit me in the
- 14:30Speaker 1: club like you. I want to hear this record now.
- 14:32Speaker 1: People be calling me. People never called me from down
- 14:36Speaker 1: here saying oh they playing it, but people been calling
- 14:39Speaker 1: me like they playing its on Script club, so know
- 14:42Speaker 1: what I'm saying all that? So that was kind of
- 14:44Speaker 1: like alright, I see, I see now I see what
- 14:47Speaker 1: it's doing. Like that is like some scrippers shit, like
- 14:50Speaker 1: for the scripts something. Yeah, it's really some club shit though.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Let me tell you that back no scripts shit, like
- 14:56Speaker 1: it's a club hit. What was what was like did
- 15:01Speaker 1: you know getting the Future on the record? What was
- 15:03Speaker 1: the politics behind that? Did you have to drop in
- 15:04Speaker 1: the bag? Was it some love ship? A little bit
- 15:07Speaker 1: of both? No, it was like when he heard the song,
- 15:09Speaker 1: he just he was like he wanted to get on
- 15:12Speaker 1: that vent. But when I made that song, it was
- 15:13Speaker 1: on some future ship. So it's crazy that he was.

- 15:19Speaker 1: like hm he picked out like he told me, was
- 15:24Speaker 1: like like that melody like type ship. Then he was

- 16:43Speaker 1: obviously with going through your legal situation recently, have you
- 16:46Speaker 1: kind of like did that? I mean, obviously you had,
- 16:49Speaker 1: Like you said earlier, you'd been locked up previously, but
- 16:51Speaker 1: like with what happened recently, did that kind of refocus
- 16:55Speaker 1: you on what's important? Like maybe like make it circle smaller?
- 16:58Speaker 1: Did that kind of change anything you're doing as far
- 17:01Speaker 1: as how you move or maybe the things you talk
- 17:04Speaker 1: about not really like how what I talk I don't
- 17:08Speaker 1: talk about crazy stuff, but yeah, like circle wise, not
- 17:13Speaker 1: really though, because you know you always, well me, I'm
- 17:16Speaker 1: always analyzing seeing what I can make better because you
- 17:20Speaker 1: know people ain't perfect. So it'd be like then once
- 17:23Speaker 1: you be fucking up, you keep sucking up, you just
- 17:25Speaker 1: start to sit back and analyze you're gonna move certain way? Yeah,
- 17:29Speaker 1: when you when you get like some ship that you
- 17:31Speaker 1: can't jeopardize, or like if you leave or something, what's
- 17:35Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with this or to this person or
- 17:37Speaker 1: how Yeah, so just think about that. Are you on
- 17:40Speaker 1: the other side of your situation as it's still open
- 17:44Speaker 1: others on the other side like the legal ship. Yeah,
- 17:48Speaker 1: obviously I don't really want to speak too much on
- 17:51Speaker 1: this that topic though. Yeah, No, that's fair. It don't
- 17:54Speaker 1: even feel comfortable with me trying to. It's just crazy
- 17:57Speaker 1: because like you know, it feels like now rap are targets,
- 18:01Speaker 1: like you can't even you can't even make music. That's
- 18:03Speaker 1: the most dangerous job in the world. Yeah, I feel
- 18:06Speaker 1: like you gotta go to clubs, you gotta like you're
- 18:10Speaker 1: dropping your location off and to be there. And then
- 18:14Speaker 1: you know, people they just think rappers be they they think.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like people just feel like rappers, like,
- 18:22Speaker 1: you know, they don't deserve all that sometimes, well that
- 18:24Speaker 1: is true, right if you if you really think about it,
- 18:26Speaker 1: if you have enemies, you openly advertise where you're gonna
- 18:29Speaker 1: be off they like, right, And then on the other end,
- 18:34Speaker 1: for whatever reason, legally all kinds of fucking like artists,
- 18:40Speaker 1: like music gets combed through, and I feel like artists
- 18:42Speaker 1: are an easy target for any sort of like agency
- 18:45Speaker 1: who wants to just pick on somebody, you know what
- 18:47Speaker 1: I'm saying. And on both sides of the coin, I
- 18:50Speaker 1: just feel like it's like it's like a tough position
- 18:52Speaker 1: to be in at times, and people don't even realize. Yeah,
- 18:54Speaker 1: that's most definitely the most dangerous thing. Though. Do you
- 18:57Speaker 1: ever feel stressed out, like like fuck, man, I'm stressed
- 18:59Speaker 1: or you know, because I'm Rapa. Yeah, man, I mean shit,
- 19:02Speaker 1: you obviously got some like pretty public beef instead of
- 19:05Speaker 1: what happened and not not it's not even about that though.
- 19:08Speaker 1: On thing, I'll be stressed because it's like a lot
- 19:11Speaker 1: of fake stuff be going on, like just just fake stuff,
- 19:17Speaker 1: like just because who you is, people certain people might
- 19:19Speaker 1: hit you up. Then you might feel like it's real love,
- 19:22Speaker 1: but it en the up not. It's like I don't
- 19:25Speaker 1: know who has been an artist that's reached out to
- 19:29Speaker 1: you or that you've worked with that you feel like
- 19:30Speaker 1: it's been real, genuine love that came from a real
- 19:33Speaker 1: place because you have a lot of music with a
- 19:34Speaker 1: lot of artists. Yeah, but I don't even got a song.
- 19:38Speaker 1: I'll say thirty big thirty big thirty Yeah here real
- 19:42Speaker 1: So I don't even got no song with him yet.
- 19:43Speaker 1: He's just tapped in with you though. Yeah, well we'll
- 19:45Speaker 1: be talking this ship. He's genuine though. Yeah, I mean
- 19:50Speaker 1: even like shout out to uh to the whole city
- 19:53Speaker 1: over there, because like obviously got record with Kushi sty
- 19:55Speaker 1: that went crazy and Malcolm Max here which was a
- 19:58Speaker 1: crazy video by the way, appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, what
- 20:01Speaker 1: was how was the like link up? With Bushisty because

- 23:04Speaker 1: the moment as far as Pooty Block nine, Like, is
- 23:07Speaker 1: everything kosher? Is it in the air? Like, how's how's
- 23:11Speaker 1: the relationship with those guys? It's never no pressure like
- 23:14Speaker 1: it was. It's not. I don't got pressed on nobody.
- 23:16Speaker 1: I don't got nothing with nobody. I don't got nothing
- 23:19Speaker 1: going on with nobody. Does it feel better to like
- 23:23Speaker 1: move like I feel like when you're in a city
- 23:24Speaker 1: like Orlando that doesn't really have like a national identity
- 23:27Speaker 1: and hip hop, like, it's probably better if everyone just
- 23:29Speaker 1: kind of moves together, if that makes sense, like the
- 23:33Speaker 1: way Atlanta, You know, I feel like Atlanta a lot
- 23:36Speaker 1: moves kind of in the same direction, like you all
- 23:39Speaker 1: see you'll see the Migos in twenty one and Gucci
- 23:42Speaker 1: and everyone works together, you know, what I'm saying. Everybody
- 23:46Speaker 1: work together on there too, tho, but it'd be like,
- 23:49Speaker 1: I don't know, taste some real shit though, Okay boom.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Dona is like like okay, boom, everybody. Everybody start from
- 23:59Speaker 1: this saying let's spot or whatever. Right, we at this level,
- 24:02Speaker 1: everybody else this level, and it's like boom, niggasill see, like,
- 24:07Speaker 1: damn bro on the level of high to me, Damn
- 24:14Speaker 1: he just want to up another level higher than me
- 24:16Speaker 1: some I'm saying, and go to hating. So now low
- 24:20Speaker 1: key they still like they player like okay, yeah we
- 24:24Speaker 1: dogs or whatever, but be hating low key and that
- 24:27Speaker 1: ships throw a niggaviova. That's how shit be going down
- 24:31Speaker 1: there on some real ship. I feel like that. That
- 24:34Speaker 1: happens a lot in a lot of situations. Yeah, but
- 24:37Speaker 1: that's like, got no working together on it. It'd be like, damn,
- 24:42Speaker 1: that should just be I don't know, I don't even
- 24:44Speaker 1: really want to get into detail about this shit, but
- 24:47Speaker 1: you get no I hear what you're saying. It does
- 24:49Speaker 1: feel like in the smaller places, like I guess Jacksonville
- 24:53Speaker 1: is a great example where it's like, yo, if everyone
- 24:55Speaker 1: just moved in the same direction, and like showed love.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I mean, Jacksonville's wild. That shit's crazy down there, but
- 25:02Speaker 1: it feels like in the smaller cities and like it's
- 25:05Speaker 1: a crab crabs in a bucket type of mentality, where
- 25:08Speaker 1: as opposed to being happy for a peer of yours, yeah,
- 25:12Speaker 1: and being genuinely happy for them, instead you feel some
- 25:15Speaker 1: type of way because it's not you. Yeah, I man,
- 25:18Speaker 1: that should be crazy crazy uh with a Polo g
- 25:23Speaker 1: You know, Polo's like somebody who obviously is a very
- 25:26Speaker 1: very uh He's got his head on his shoulders, good
- 25:29Speaker 1: kid man. Like is there has there been anything you've
- 25:31Speaker 1: learned from him personally, like just being on the road
- 25:33Speaker 1: with him, being close to him outside of the live
- 25:36Speaker 1: shit we're talking about, just like maybe how he does
- 25:38Speaker 1: his handles certain ship, or has he given you any
- 25:40Speaker 1: game because you know he's he's on a crazy level
- 25:43Speaker 1: right now as far as success, I pulled up. He
- 25:47Speaker 1: don't talk a lot though. You know I used to
- 25:49Speaker 1: be like that, but I used to think, like, damn,
- 25:51Speaker 1: I can't be no rapping and be like that. Right well,
- 25:53Speaker 1: look at it up there. You know what I'm saying.
- 25:56Speaker 1: He done blew way up and still like that, but
- 25:59Speaker 1: still you know, you still got a politic or whatever.
- 26:02Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he do that. But other than that,
- 26:04Speaker 1: he just be like to hisself, like anti social on
- 26:08Speaker 1: some loan or type shit. Yeah, I used to think
- 26:11Speaker 1: it used to be a problem when I used to
- 26:13Speaker 1: be like, some people be like that and people take
- 26:16Speaker 1: it the wrong way when it's just really just how
- 26:17Speaker 1: they are. Yeah, and I learned that too. I learned
- 26:20Speaker 1: that too, that you can't always take get emotional when
- 26:23Speaker 1: someone on the same vibe as a nigga, ain't finna
- 26:26Speaker 1: just do beat this just because they quiet or whatever,
- 26:30Speaker 1: they ain't talking on. They don't mean it. Don't funk
- 26:32Speaker 1: with you. That's probably how it is. Yeah, you know
- 26:34Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Obvious niggas are getting their feelings like oh,
- 26:38Speaker 1: bron he thinks he's too good or he's weird of
- 26:42Speaker 1: It's like, man, sometimes just people ain't they got their
- 26:44Speaker 1: own way. They moved with me, you see what I'm saying.
- 26:46Speaker 1: People just jump jump, jump to conclusions that aren't necessary.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Crazy shit. Is there gonna be a body of work
- 26:54Speaker 1: coming from you soon? But they work like an album mixtape? Yeah, yeah,
