• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Well, I was on my
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: high horse, you feel me like, and I take accountability
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: for that. So the break was really needed. It wasn't
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: really about me taking a break because the break wasn't
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: like I, oh, I finished chill, like I was forced
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to take it. And with me taking a break, man,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I had to find you know, that had to face
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the man in the mirror man, you know, and put
• 11:05

  Speaker 1: something like this. And Wayne was a big inspiration to me.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And I was like, man if I could put my
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: little twist on it, it would be hard. I went
• 13:14

  Speaker 1: Do you lay the melody first that you feel the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: lyrics like? How do you come up with hooks first?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And foremost the hook is really created. It starts with me.

  Speaker 1: Beat selection, beat snitschness is important, and of course I'm
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: punching like but it's always off a feel like. I've

  Speaker 1: because you obviously have a lot of But I bet
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: it on myself though. I was willing to bet on
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: myself and take that chance though, because like I got
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: offered more money else places. It's just I knew what
• 27:22

  Speaker 1: have one, so I didn't want one. I wanted to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: be looked at, like on the same level. Less than
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: one day. I want to get through the new music.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But I gotta ask you because I remember living in
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the South and I would hear some of these numbers
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that would get talked around about what kind of brown
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: baggers peace, specifically in the Tampa Saint Pete area. Listen,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: man ain't gonna like I went crazy and you were
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: getting I don't think people understand there was a show
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: you did in Tampa and I had never seen the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: city more excited for somebody outside of when Boozy got out. Yeah, bro,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it was insane. Yeah, like the bads it was getting
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: in and like because like by the time some type
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of Way came out the world it went global. But
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I was already in Florida from the differences and can't
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: judge her. So I was in Florida the whole year
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: before some type of Way came out, So I was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: already up. You know what I'm saying. You just had
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: so many hood classics that pop, Like what would you
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: do with so big in a club? Even like your feet,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: like I know was a record still to this day,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: even like I still like Florida and Carolina and like
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: my biggest market is like I don't care, what is
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: that in Florida. I'm going to Florida twice and money
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you get for sure, for sure, for sure. Yeah. It
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: was wild because I just remember like I would host
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: these remotes at DTLR, and at this time there was
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Jewel House, Boozy's clothing line, there was Ritual Y Kuan
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Ship and then the wire and ship was herself. It's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: like it was like an era that was like so special.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: When I think back, I'm like, damn, like I'm glad
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I was living there during that time. Yeah, because I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: not sure I would have appreciated it being in La
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: or you know, on the West coast. But but you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: right though, because it's different. Man, even like with Florida. Now,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: how many Florida to the artist? You see they mergeing them,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Like, man, like Plies like
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: was a big influence, even like to be on such
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: similar shows with him, like that's matter. Yeah, because Plas
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: had ran off on the plug twice. Yeah. Like it's
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like he keeps saying up you know what I mean
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: that even with him being actively on the social media
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: like that, So it's like, you know what I mean,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: that's something that's the line I'm lacking in because you know,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'm very private, man. I try to keep myself not
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: accessible like that bro to, you know, to keep the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: confusion now and you know, keep me out of the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: way and keep me sane. Man, that's important. This new body,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you work any features on it? Well, not this new body,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: no features? I like that. Yeah, you know we had
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: just did the one I did the feature with no
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: cap and you know, I'm not really big on features
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: on my own songs, you know, like I always I
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: mean really, if you think your biggest solo records, I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: mean really the problem feature was kind of like at
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the time, problem was like he had like what you
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But that was like a cool
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: emergence of like what was going on in LA. It
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: was like Atlanta Mes, Like I mean Atlanta Mes, Like
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: your biggest records that are solo are just you. Yeah,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: And That's what I'm saying. So it's like it's never
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: like I needed anyone for the hit. I was the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: hit maker, so and nothing like I don't I'm not
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: taking nothing away from nobody because I've I've worked with
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: some incredible talent. But man, I just love music so much. Bro.
• 31:26

  Speaker 1: any clue like about his wave or I knew nothing
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: about it, but I can tell you this. When they
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: sent the song, I knew he could rap immediately. It's
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: different like I was after because I didn't know, but
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I wanted to meet him. And the way he died,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the way he was so hands on with his business.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I had never saw that, you know what I mean,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: because you know, of course, like I have a great team,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: but the way he was, like he's a perfectionist, like
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: a perfectionist, like paid me for the full verse. The
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: way he cut my verse off, I thought was genius.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: But I was going I started going off too, so
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, because I did a whole sixteen so
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it's like, yo, man, you paid for the verses. He
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: didn't use it, but like it was part of the creativity. Yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: he pulled up to my house to shoot it, like
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't take No, it was at my grandma house.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: He didn't care. He was out in the hood, no security.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's uh man, and I think a dude. No, No,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: he's big, like skinned with a ball here forgot his name.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Got like a little beer though, but yeah, it ended
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: up being a classic, No it did. Man, I think
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: with double time platinum man crazy, it's just some dude
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: hit you. Yeah for me just being high though, and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you gotta think, like when I'm doing frat party and stuff,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I still perform that song. It's like it depends on
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: what you gotta run. I want, like I wouldn't do
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: that song in temple, but like if I'm in l
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: A or if I'm at a college frat park, definitely
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: we're going up. Like we're going up like Mike Crowder.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even do like Mamo citter In in the temple.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's for like like it's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: like it's it's ratchet, you know, it's you know what
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like when you got a catalall
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: like that. Depending on where we're at in the world,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the you know, the playlist changes, but it changed now
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: that you're independent. Now that you are I guess just
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: free of any obligations where you can just create freely. Now,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: are you gonna put out music a lot more frequently now,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of course I'm putting out music more frequently. Uh. We
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: just dropped on October fourth, which was my birthday. I'm
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: coming back November eighteenth, and this is the most frequently
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I've ever been active. In a minute, I was gonna say,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: your first mixtape series, what was it? I'll never stop
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: going still going in. But the first one was I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: go in on every song, Okay, a classic, Yes, I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: go in on every song, still going in, still going there,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and reloaded. I promise I will never stop going in.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: We get a fifth one there, still going in there,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: still going in. Series. Saga is not over. It's not over.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: It's not over. I'm thinking about it might be my
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: next album, I think, but I don't think the next
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: one's gonna be a mixtape. So the next might be
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: an album, you know what I mean? Today with the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: stream and so it's definitely not open man, Like I'm
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: still because I'm still going in and I'll never be
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: able to relate that life. So I can just hope
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I can create some new memories. Man, yo, man, well,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I know you gotta catch a flight. So the new
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: project is out? You got you just dropped in October,
• 36:18

• 36:26
  Speaker 1: crazy on we got the dog cap feature with bigger jeans,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: which is going crazy. Is there anybody like I was
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: gonna say, who you kind of see as somebody who's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: got that same gift that you have to just fucking
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: closed the eyes and make hits as part of the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: newer generation. Uh, I might guess I'm slander with this man,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: but I think Kodak is tremendously amazing. It nont matter
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: what he says, Like I like, I like his versatility,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Like he don't have just one set flow. He's unorthodox,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you can't. You don't know how he's gonna come on.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So I love that. Yeah, I think Kodak is on
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the like Mount USh More of the last like five
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: years of rap, maybe six years. You know, it's crazy
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: because he was like right after your guy this era,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and because he was like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: like around time UZI don popping and stuff, but he
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: was different. But you could hear it. It was it's
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the ratchetness, but you can hear the you can hear
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the dedication and real talented. You know, that's what I'm
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Like the beat selection, you know,
