• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's on the South Side, so if you're familiar with it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it's from 130th, and I went to Cobb Military, so
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody from there, they know that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: How long you been doing music?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You know what? I don't even have the time no more.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I've been doing it for so long, since I was
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a shorty, so like, you know, everybody from like, freestyling
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on the CTA, just going at cash and then putting
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: stuff together. I've been doing it professionally and making money
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: off it for, like, the last, like, eight years, though. Okay. Like, because,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, this is a struggle, man. You can really
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: put so much into it, and then it take you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a while before you really see the fruits of your labor. So,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but I'm grateful to God that he put me in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a position to kind of, like, be able to move
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: this vision forward and show a lot of other people.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Now, the Garden, is there a good place over there
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: to eat? Or that's a place don't go to?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Nah, you don't want to go there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I just like to teach our listeners, you know, viewers.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Nah, it's a project, bro. It's like, you know, projects,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: people know what projects are, man, when they put that together.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's a project to keep black people from advancing and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: killing ourselves, putting us against each other. It's one of those.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Very systematic, very set up.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So a lot of projects, to me, from what I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: see in Chicago, looks like they're like gated in or
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Not all of them. Okay. Not all of them. Some
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of them dilapidated as hell. Some of the buildings ran down.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Mine was row houses. So we was like really literally
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: boxed in next to each other. So we really wouldn't
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: know where to move.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Now what did that teach you growing up?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: To work hard to get more space. Nah, for real.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of like I had a good mom, bro.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: She was like on my top. You know what I'm saying?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Even though I was outside doing other things, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: from the trenches, I was doing street stuff. She really
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let me. develop the mindset to be in it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to stay of it you might be from it but
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: don't be of it you feel me and um because
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it's very easy to oh yeah it's easy I mean
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's even even to this day like with everything we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: taught like with our emotions and how we're not loving
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: ourselves the way we should and not walking spiritually in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: our um purpose and our disconnection with each other our
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: disconnection with God Almighty it teaches you that the more
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of a nigga you could be the raw it is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: because it you know and all of us from it
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it teaches us this you know dog-eat-dog survival mentality, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I've been really working mentally, spiritually, emotionally with my therapist
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to try to grow and beyond surviving and start getting
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: into the thriving aspect of it. So what I learned
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: from that is it can get worse. Bless you, bless you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It can get worse. Everything is what you make it,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and we control our own reality, man.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Now, not to get too into it, but.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Let's get to it. It's L.A., Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And it's Chicago, for real. Like, a very dangerous city.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You know, if you're not alert, if you're not paying attention,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I feel like, shout out to your mom, you can
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: kind of get sucked into the culture of the violence.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I come from it. I was
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: really outside. I was in it, you know, heavy, hustling.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You know, even though I went to college and did
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, I was still connected to that. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: what kind of, like, shook me was I got caught
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: up in it. dope gun charge and I was looking
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: at 25 years to life and I beat it on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a technicality.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a real thing. So it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: kind of like, it reminds me.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: A technicality. So that's a small detail.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Super small detail.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's like, what, a percent? What's the percent that you?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know the percent of it. I just know
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, I knew it was a blessing. Right.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And I knew that, that, you know, and I still
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: kind of dabbled in dumb shit a little bit after that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But then after really looking at things, I was like, man,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you know, so much more to me. But to answer
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: your question, I think any city where it's impoverished, any
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: city where education ain't key, any city where, like, self-love
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: ain't key, any city where we're not taught to be
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: more into our, you know, growth, into our moment, patience,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: emotional maturity, mental control, growth, all of that, it could
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be dangerous anywhere. Chicago, L.A., New York, Philly, Atlanta, Miami,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you know, the Yams, Detroit, Little Memphis, all those places
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: because it's a lot of, poverty there's a lot of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: lack of education it's a lot of not outlets to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: kind of get these out and it's a lot of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: us like black men young black men that really don't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: understand how to communicate in a healthy manner because i
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: didn't and so you know i remember i was listening
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to an interview with nip he was like i'm looking
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: for a cat with a t-shirt on it's wood basically
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you're looking for yourself you're looking for yourself so i
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: think what we should you know do so it's dangerous
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: everywhere i think it's just those cities are bigger It's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: more concentrated and it get more light because of how
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: many people there are. But shit, you got more politicians
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: coming out of D.C. You know, you got more business
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: people or it's Wall Street niggas in New York. It's
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: centralized where it's focused on. You know, and I think
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: those cities are meant to.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: How many people do you think that we lost that
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: could have been great?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Man, I don't even know how much time we got.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Chicago alone. How many people that you saw that we
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: lost that could have been.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Bro, it's so. Somebody. We can't even quantify that number.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: It's like so many that we ain't even never heard
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of that never got a shot. Just the people alone,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we can go all the way back to Fred Hampton
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and come all the way forward to like, even with
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the situation with Dirk, I don't want to speak too
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: much on it, but even that situation, it's so many
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: different elements that could have been avoided. You feel me?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And I just... I hope that God see him through.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And I hope that the people in the families that's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: affected by whatever, everybody can make it through. And I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: hope that, you know, genuine justice or cosmic justice is
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: serving that, you know, the righteous get an opportunity. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: feel me?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Now, looking at a situation like, look, Dirk, does that
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: make you be more cautious about, like, your team? Because
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: these are people that was around Dirk for years. Some
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: of these people grew up with Dirk.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I've been cautious like that, though. You know, I always
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was told that. If don't nobody know, can't nobody tell.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And that's with everything.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: We just talked about something like this last episode.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not to say anything and nothing illegal
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: or anything.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Correct, yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It's just saying if you handle your business on your own,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: whatever that is, and you build your foundation, whatever it is,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and I hope it's positive, hope it's the right thing,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: then can't nobody... dismantle something they don't know about at
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all and if you build your foundation on a rock
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: for real can't nobody tear it down so I always
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: knew that I was you know whatever it was was
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: some things to take care I was always on it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: on my own because I'm like I ain't gonna tell
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: on myself and when I learned to do better and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: know better and when it was some things to really
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: handle to do business I was like let me just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: figure it out on my own from being my own
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: manager my own writer my own producer my own you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: know marketer marketing manager anything it was just like so
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I look at the situation I just wish I wish
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: discernment was more there. You feel me? I wish there
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: was more discernment there. That's important.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: That word is a real word.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's a real word.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And I encourage everybody to look up to the definition
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: of discernment.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: It's a lot deeper than just saying it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Look that up.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Please.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Awareness. You got to be self-aware, spiritually, cosmically aware. And
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think we should understand that. And this, look, I'm not. Bro,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not. Ultimate fuck up. I done made a lot
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of mistakes. I ain't going to sit here and try
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to act like I'm holding out. ain't got enough time
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. I can't throw no stone through
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: this glass.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like your testimony right now, you talking about
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: it right now, can save whoever could.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Be watching this.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope so.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: And you talking to a lot of people right now.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, salute to everybody listening. I hope y'all hear
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: out from a person that I'm not a nice guy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But I'm a good dude. I try to be better.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Wait, you just said I'm not a nice guy?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not a nice guy. I think people confuse when
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you learn and you grow and you have self-love. They
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: confuse that with being nice. But it's like, nah, I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: not a nice guy. I got thorns. I got teeth.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I have dirt. I have mistakes that I've made. But
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I know that I woke up today, right? So I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: had to be a better version of myself today than
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I was yesterday. And I strive for that every day.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And it's not an excuse to keep doing the same thing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You just got to grow. So I just... I think
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the sermon is like when you really connect with the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: most high and you really are honest with yourself and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you really pray about. And I speak this a lot
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: because the stuff I come from, like only God, it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: had to be God. It wasn't me. It was me
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that put me in it. It was God that got
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: me out. So I think that you got to really
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: open your mind and your pineal gland, your mind for real,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: opening all your chakras up and everything. And that's a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: whole deeper conversation to be aware of this stuff. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it's how we eat, what we read, what we consume.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: What we eat.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: What we eat.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I'm vegan. I do dabble with a little Branzino here
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and there, but I try to stay away from fish.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: That Branzino go crazy.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Man. That Branzino go crazy. Boy, I see that, I'll
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: be like, I'm going to get up out of here.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I ain't strong enough sometimes, but I try. And I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: just think all of that really controls how we think
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and what we do and what we consume from social
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: media to music, the whole demo. Feel me?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Where'd your name come from?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Vast City, you know, the story I heard from my aunt,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: my grandma, she rest in peace, and my aunties, they
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: said my first words was Shad City. I don't know
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: why those would be my first words, but the Vallejo
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is my gov name, and Valle is short for that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Vast City.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Vast City. Shad City, Vast City, because, you know, if
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Dirk and all of them is the voice, I'm the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: hope of the city, and of anybody, because I come
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: from the worst scenario and the most adverse and made
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: so many mistakes to put myself back, and I still
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: kept moving, so If you think there is not a guy,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: look at me, and I'm telling you, it is one.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: If I'm here, he exists.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Now, who would be your Chicago Rush?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mount Rushmore.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: It's only four people.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Man, that's hard to say. So many dope-ass cold cats
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: out the crib, bro.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You got to put Ye up there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: For sure.

  Speaker 1: You got to put Ye up there. If you don't
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: put Ye up there, you a super hater because he's
• 12:44
