• 0:49
  Speaker 1: with the red cups. It was like, you know, four
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: or five of us in the studio chilling at the

• 1:10

• 1:13
  Speaker 1: was blessed to have an opportunity to make it out
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of bottomore and be able to label like that and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: get signed by somebody who was a legend in the game,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But yeah, it was just
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it was time for us to, you know, to part ways,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: just in terms of me growing up and wanted to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: want more for myself as an artist, you know, And
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I was blessing negotiate it out of the deal, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: instead of jumping right back into another deal, I did
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: some research and a few of men and my other
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: friends in the industry started this new company, car Rivers
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Media Group, new digital distribution. But outside of distribution, we
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: also manage artists as well as publish writers and producers.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Manage writers and producers as well, and a lot of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: writers and producers do need some management, yeah, I mean
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: everybody does. Everybody needs you know, the right team. Team
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is everything. Did you feel like the labeled labels just
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: can't do what they used to do for artists? Because
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you were you, I mean you were you were at
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the beginning when labels were good. Yeah, I mean really
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: but absolutely. I mean I remember spending you know, five
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: hundred six hundred thousand dollars in the video, you know
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and budgets was crazy, you know, you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: know envy, But um, now was what was on the video?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, technology and you know a lot
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of things, but I think it's about you and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: label being on the same page as far as your
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: brand as an artist and having an incredible team and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just you feeling like, you know, the support is there,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know. Um, for me, it was more about me
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: having a vision for myself that was bigger than just
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the you know, niche audience that at the time, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: my label was you know, pushing me to you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and also the music that I want toute let me
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: let me ask you that you did the whole album
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Rico Live. Yeah, we did a project together. Now, Um,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so what's what's going on with that? Well, it's it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: technically owned by you know, another label. Okay, So it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: never We're never gonna na that's never gonna come out. Nah, nay,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I got, I got, I got new music. You know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The whole prod the new project. I got a whole
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: new slew of music. You know what I'm saying, b
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Rico to Homie. You know, So the music music, I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it's good music. It's it's good records. You know. Again again,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just my direction and the type of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: music that I want to make. It's just it's more uh,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's more universal, and it's just it's just me.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Like every record that you every record that you you're
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: gonna hear from my project, is I'm writing on every record,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is you know what I'm saying, It's all me. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's like you just like even with Fireball, the way
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we did Fireball, I was at the crib. You know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it was no like you know usually with yeah, usually
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when you like um on a like you go to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: these big studios, you spending twenty five day in the studio.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's really unnecessary to a point
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: because it's not like we're making records with like streams
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and like I am now, but like with like strings
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and like um you know at the time, yeah, like
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just using pro tools, got an engineer, Mike,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: big speakers, so a lot of times just for entourages
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: or but you're wasting the money and I just felt
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like being more of a businessman. Now it's like that's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: not it's not really a direction I wanted to go
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in a new direction or what's the new direction is it?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Is it more worldly? Like what direction does Marria want
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to go in now? And what direction did they have
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you in? Like for instance, um, like I said before,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: like it's just more me writing on most of my records.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Like at the time, I don't think that the team
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I was with believed in me as a writer. Now
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I'm writing more of my records
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when I'm writing records that I could have written in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but the belief wasn't there, the trust and the you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the vision for me as a writer. Don't get that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because I mean even like when Kanye came up here
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: talking about his sneakers, but that's your career. I can't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: see it, Like on your career, how can somebody tell
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know you can't write, probably because you started so
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: young and it's hard for them. The did that look
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at you as a little Mario, Yeah, And that's a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: big part of it. I started with them when I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was fifteen years old, you know, and sometimes it's hard
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for uh, you know, quote a parent to look at
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: their their child or something that they created or helped
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to create and trust it off top. You know. It's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just you know, and it's it's just business. But you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: did record the whole entire album and then at the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: end of it, you just said, this just isn't me.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And I guess you just you decided that you wanted
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to be the one that was really writing and doing
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: more of that. Well, it wasn't a whole album. It
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was like seven songs, okay, and um nah, it just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't the direction that I wanted to go in. You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it was great music, like Rigo's an amazing writer, but
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't a direction. Okay, you know the songs,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it's still dope song. Somebody could cut them. The dating.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You know, it sound like you've been paying attention to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: all these years. What you mean, like it's soaking up
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the game. It's soaking up the business side of it, yo.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy, Like I travel a lot, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff overseas and when you are
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: outside of because the industry is small and to us,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you know, to people in it, and when you're doing it,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: like you feel like it's just everything you know, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the industry is kind of small, and then you don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: realize that until you step outside of it and you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: see you know, real money or you know, you go
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: overseas and you're sitting there like a lot of my
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: friends have their own businesses. They don't even know what's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: going on in the music world. Billionaires one hundred million,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like real money people, and you realize, like, you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: out as an artist, you you are, you are food
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: into believing that you are the ish like just it,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying all the time. And it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: like you got to realize, like real business is not
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just being an artist. It's not just being you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the person that people spending labeled. Real businesses is ownership,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, real doing real business and having your own company,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Like it's it's about building something that will create some
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: passive income for you. So for me, instead of jumping
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: back into another deal, it's like, yo, how can I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: create a situation where I can really use all of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: my gifts and when I'm done, when I don't want
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to do music no more, I'm still eating or I'm
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm becoming more of a part of the business side
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of it than just you know the dude, who can
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you know, get as many women as you want? Who
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: can go buy a Rolux and a Bentley and house
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like nah, like I want more more for myself. Nothing
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: wrong with the Yeah, it's not practice. You didn't practice
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: accidents though for a period of time. Really are you?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Why did you? Yeah? I did? I did. Yeah that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you just told a girl that because you didn't want
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to smash it the moment when you found out about this. Nah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I did though, and um, like a year, this was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like four years ago. This is it was a mental thing,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: spiritual thing. Yep, you right on point, mental thing and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: spiritual thing. And the girl was seeing at the time,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was was doing that as well. The benefits um, like
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you said, mental spiritual. And then you know, you learn
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: as a man that your sexual power is like it's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's power, like you can use it, you know
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Your sexual energies. You know you can
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: use that. It's like why they tell like sports players
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like don't don't have sex before you get like it's real.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because I've I've done that,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: like I, you know, be somewhere and then something before show,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and it's like you don't you know, it just don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: feel the same. Is it okay for you to masturbate
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: or do things like that if that's what you're into
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: during that year? Okay of abstinence? What about are you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: asking me if I masturbated? Yeah? You did? You are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I have before? You know? I meant during that yeah? Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: absolutely right now a straight question. We're very closely still friends. Yeah?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Did you ever get a chairce to hit? Um? I mean,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't put out there like that after
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: ye making you wait to hope? So all right? What
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: about oral sex? But you're allowed to do that during
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: that year? Maybe you said ask you questions. Maybe I'm
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: just saying no, I'm just wondering, like when people say
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they practice absdence doesn't mean no sexual contact period, or
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean like okay, we can kiss, but nothing
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like naked or anything. He hasn't that sex and long?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: She's asking, I mean, if you be real more comfortable.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I've tried to suck my own penis. Hey, yo, that's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that's that's that that guy really crazy. I'm sticking with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: this question over here. I'm sorry you put your legs up.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I tried. It didn't work. What you was saying this
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is this is a weird story, I know. And then
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: when you finished, she actually did it on his face
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and you and we was sucked. Man, man, look man,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I can't look man, we ain't. Oh yeah, let's talk
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: about defended. That's more money you got to pay on
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the album course and all that cool with invested in yourself. Absolutely,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I've been, like I've been kind of investing in myself
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: even when I was at the label, to a certain
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: costs that I had to, you know, but it's business.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You invest in yourself, and um, you know, I've never
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: been like a super you know, spend on everything like
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I I've seen so much, bro since I started like
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in the game from other like and I learned so much.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And then like I grew up in bottomore my like,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you know, if you look at my lineage, like in Baltimore,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: like a lot of my family members were like like
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: real street dudes and like really making money industry. So
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I've kind of seen how money works from a young
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: like not on them, you know, business level, but just
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in terms of just how how to invest, how to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: save your money, how to still be fly, but not
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: just yeah, like and then you're looking up. You know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: all you got to show for it is is material,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: like you know. So for me, it's like when I start,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: when we started, like a lot of them, some of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the money that I've saved up I put towards you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: what we're doing. And then you know, how's your mom doing.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: She's good, man, she's good. It's you know, it's better.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I can't say strong, because I think that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: takes time. But it's a lot better. Your mom is
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: cleaning everything, telling me she is. We we we see
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: each other every few months, like she'll come back and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: forth from you know, Maryland to La or I'll go
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to see her like so it's like, you know, we
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: were not as close as we were in terms of like,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you know, seeing each other every day because I needed
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: time to really focus on myself and if I wanted
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to do that, you know, I needed to, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: let and let her grow and make her own decisions
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: instead of being like on a like father, like you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: need to do this, you need to you know, sometimes
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: people got to grow up the point where you you
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: felt like you went so hard trying to get her
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: cleaned up that you may have lost a piece of yourself. Absolutely, absolutely,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and that and that was like one of the hardest
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: times in my life because I didn't understand. I didn't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: understand it from like a mother child point of view,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just like you know, where is when when do I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: get a chance to get that? You know? And I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: think that had a lot to do it, Yeah, And
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I think it had a lot to do how I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was with women too, and me looking for like the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: nurturing side of a woman from different situations and you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: just making crazy decisions as far as that goes, too.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: But I had to learn from all of that, took
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: some time off to really get myself right, spiritually grinding myself,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you know. And you know, now I understand, I'm able
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to look back at those situations and look back at
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: my situation with my mom, understand and get to the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: root of my issues and like how that affected me
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, make the best decision moving forward. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: even talk about it in some some of the new music.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I feel, did you ever lose a girl? Because a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: girl might have been like look, Marrow, I like you,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be your mom. No, it was
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I never I had one girl tell me that, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: not I didn't lose it because of that. But I've
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: had a girl tell me like, yo, like you you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think that you you missed that side, and like
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it's not so much just the nurturing side either. It's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: more of the like you know, the non trust and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like you know, not wanting to commit all the way.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Because when I did trust
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and commit to you know, loving and trusting my certain
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: things happened that I never thought what happened or never
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: thought like a mom would do, you know what I'm saying.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So it's like when it comes to world, I think
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: even the back of my mind, I was like, you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I just would never give them all. You know what
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So, but I'll tell you one thing, when
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I do get it right, When I do get it right,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that girl gonna be the happiest girl in the world.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: So you said you talk about this in the new
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: music as well, So how hard was that for you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to actually write those songs? It wasn't hard. And you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: it's crazy because subconsciously. I think I didn't realize it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: until after I listened to the song, like, Yo, I'm
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: writing it, like because I got this song called Monster.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And then the song I'm talking to the girl and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: telling how I'm trying to protect it from a certain
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: type of dude. But I'm really talking about myself. And
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until after I listened to the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: song like yo, Like subconsciously, I'm talking about myself, you know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And um, you know it's just you called a lot
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of girls heartbreak because you know they always hurt people,
• 14:05

  Speaker 1: fasht for sure, just just just indirectly, you know, not directly.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I've never really been like if I'm with you, on

• 14:19
  Speaker 1: things off your chest? Absolutely? Do therapy, like what Absolutely,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I've never done therapy before. This is my thirdy. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: think also having an organization working with kids and talking
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to kids have been my therapy too. You know, when
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to kids that's from Baltimore and they telling me,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I had this young kid in one of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: my groups. He was like twelve years old and he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: took care both of his younger siblings. You know. He
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: would come to school late ten am, not eleven am
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: because he had to make sure they were straight, and uh,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: he was strong. Like. Look, I'm like yo, like and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I went through that too, and I was like around
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: his age. I remember my little brother, you know, at
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: one time I would come home and he would be
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: like on the floor crying, you know, because nobody was home,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: no taking care of him. And I'll make sure you're straight,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: like you know, crazy stuff like that. So kids have
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: been my therapy when it comes to that. But now
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it's like I get it. And growing up and maturing,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you start to understand. And when you can look at
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the things you've been through and don't not like dwelling
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that moment, don't don't you know, not holding those things
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: making yourself feel guilty, you get you have to let
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: all of that go so that you can move forward.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And that's where anything, you know, are you looking forward
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to having kids? Also? Definitely? Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You look, see this is the thing. Once you do that,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you like, that's like you can't know coming back coming.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like for me, it's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it's it's um, it's about finding somebody who who who
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: who you know, who knows themselves, who who secure you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and then me being ready to like you know, and um,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: trusting that person and it's being the right on the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: right page with that person. Like this, I've never met
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: anybody where I'm like, yo, I see myself having a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: child with this woman like you. You inspire me to
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: want to have a child. Are you scared to have
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: kids based off of what you've been through with a child?
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Now I'm excited to have kids because I feel like
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna be a good father. You've also
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: been working on a buck right, Yeah, Like it's it's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: as crazy because as I as I continue where I
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: just it's there's so many different directions from the health aspects,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: from the spiritual aspect, from the you know, the mental,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the music aspects. So I'm just like working out, you know,

• 16:59
  Speaker 1: my fans know who I am outside of just music,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and I think that that's like really important. You haven't
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: been that active on social media? Did you consciously say
• 17:08

  Speaker 1: got my situation right. So now it's like I'm ready
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to go for a fledge. So I feel like from
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: what I what I do from now on is who
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: accounts the most? Who are your friends in the industry?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Who do you speak to the industry If there's anybody,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: because like Neil used to write for you, I mean
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: what you mean, speak to me friend, somebody that you
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: consider a friend, that you could come to for advice
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: or that you call your home, or that you you'd
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: be like, hey on the Southeast, let's go Mario yo.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I don't when you up there with you when you're down,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you don't got nobody calls your phone, stop fringing. I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: just saying, like everybody ain't fake, you know what I'm saying.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm super like I like
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: organic things, you know, And it's like, you know, I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: just I know people. I can call up anybody you know,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: but it's like you don't consider them friends. Yeah, Like
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you're not gonna bute them to your baby
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: shot when you had that baby if they like, Yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, friends is like it's a there's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: people that you support because that's a crazy question their music,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: but you might not necessarily consider them somebody that you're
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: gonna confide in. Yeah. Yeah, And that's pretty much what
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it is. It's like, you know, in passing and there's
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of people respect music wise, but um, I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: don't have too many like friend friends the best man,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: these industry dudes ain't friends. They know how to pretend.
