  Speaker 5: and they say a price, you're like, damn, I might
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: as well just buy the house. You know, just going

  Speaker 5: I'm gonna pay sixty thousand keep ours, i might always
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: find some houses in the hood. They all cheap, I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: about to keep buying hours. I just kind of goten
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: a liking to it, So that's what I kept on.

  Speaker 5: the neighbors. We started like, you know, people lived for
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: so long when they died, their family don't even be around,

  Speaker 2: We just started saying how much set the house.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: For just kept buying them back to back to back,

• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I gotta call you back.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: I think they want to ask me some questions, so
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: I don't think. She started like tripping until she couldn't
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: reach me. She was like, she seemed calm. I like,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: you better be calm on straight.
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: But what did she say when she found out it
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: was her other son?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I ain't tell her.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: We ain't tell about that after It was just like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: my mama never worried about what we were doing. She
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: already knew what kind of kids. Yeah, I ain't the
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: only son. Like I say, I donet been charged with
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: a bit boy charge. Her daughter been charged with a
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: bit boy So she already knew them, these here kids.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna just answer the phone, gotta press one, you
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So she she respected what we were doing. We wasn't
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: bringing no trouble to her house, so she went tripping.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: But what's hard at making it out the streets? So
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: mentally adjusting after you get out.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Mentally adjusting once you get out because you have so
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: much fun and your homeboys be still living.

• 13:07
  Speaker 5: here no more. Like, no matter how fun it is,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: it'd be like, Damn, I really gotta leave. So I

  Speaker 1: Would you say you're not leaving them.

  Speaker 5: something DC young Fly, I said, just M. Boston and
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: he responded saying he already knew who I was. It
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: was it was go time, was go time. He came
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: to the he came to the city and all really yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: He brought he pull out the cars and shot the video. Yeah,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: you're a real one. The baby A real guy, real real.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: He did the Blue the Blue Devil.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: He did the Blue Devil remix with me. Man, he
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: a real and like I said, he came down, brought
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: his family. Not only that, invited me to a Carolina
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Panthers game. I got to chill like really around his
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: mom and family, Like you really brought me in.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Do you think South Carolina artists will have a chip
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: on his shoulder because the industry overlooks the state so much.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like a lot of people from South Carolina,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Like I feel like they don't look at it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: That's how I look at it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: But it's because we see everybody come through here like
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: we I feel like we I feel like we paid
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: enough to get that attention though, like we done paid everybody,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: every artist, We don't.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Bought everybody change for him, like y'all come through. We
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: pay good, whatever you need, we pay it. The promoters
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: pay good.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Then I don't see no other state booket artists like
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: the Carolinas nowhere in nowhere, nobody, nobody's bragging about no
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: other state like the Carolinas. No, the promoters, like Tim Boss, like,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: we really pay good. So I feel like we should
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: get a bunch of attention. If we the reason a
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: lot of people first sold out shows and concerts be
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: in our backyard.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: First six figure bag, you get.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Your first ten thousand or forty thousands of Carolinas, why
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: shouldn't we be promoted like that? Like I feel like
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: we should get a lot of time, like to be soft,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: because we really put in that word we pay hey good.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: And you know, do you feel like you had to
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: build your career without an industry blueprint because there's no
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: blueprint for an artist from South Carolina.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely just grinding. I can't say without the industry
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: blueprint because I kind of followed the se cheese and
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: I try to do all that, even pay academics one time.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: So it was like I think I went through the
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: little blueprint, but it just costed so damn much.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Were you paying the post something?
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like damn right, you had like just paying like
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: once you want to be up there and they say
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: two three thousand, Like damn, I got to pay it
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: to get up there.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I want the world to see me.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: So it's like I ain't gonna say I didn't follow
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: the blueprint because I definitely was paying promotion pays that
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: I've seen.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I felt like the labels was paying for these guys.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: So I can't say I ain't followed the.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Blueprint because there was a time where it's like there
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: wasn't enough artists from South Carolina utilizing the Internet. Like
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: the person that I saw who really utilized the Internet
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: and took off, God blessed they was speaking knockers.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, was he had it?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he definitely did.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: He took it to another level though, like he and
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: he was on a different type of level of music,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: like he was bringing more than just hip hop, like
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: you could tell it was pop more people was really.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: They really liked the speaking knockers too.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: And I don't think a lot of people knew he
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: was from Carolina at first.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So I literally didn't y'all just that.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Like a lot of people
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: didn't know he was from Carolina. It's a different friends,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: when you're coming from Carolina, you're letting the world know, like, oh, no,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I'm for Carolina. They I'm gonna go ahead and kill
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: all the you feel me how you feel right now
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: because I'm saying this where I'm from, and that was
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: my goal. I'm gonna let you know I'm from Carolina.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: So if you don't know nobody from Carolina, you know
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I'm from call the.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Funny thing about South Carolina.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Though a Hartsfield dude is totally different from a Columbia dude,
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: totally different from a Charston dude.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: They don't understand. I've been trying to tell him. I've
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: been trying to tell them that we were just talking
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: about that. Like you can be from Charleston, you two
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: three hours away from me, you don't.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Talk like me.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: You don't sound like me. You don't even act like me.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about it's not like a whole different language.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Then you go over here in Columbia.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: They more feel like they they feel like they're the
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: biggest in the area. And then you go down to
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Murdle Beach, but they feel like they're the latest in
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: the area. And then you got my area where we
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: feel like we're just the countries. Like we feel like
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: we got a lot of stuff going on, but all
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: we got to do, like you said.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: The drag script, the race racetrack.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: So it's so many places in Carolina where they act
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: totally different, and it's four hours, three hours away, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: we never get to see these guys.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: How far is where you're from from? He's where he's
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: from again.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Mon's corn at Hospital about two gps.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: But what's the difference between where Monk's Corner and hearts?
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Uh, they got a geechee accent, a little bit, A
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: little bit, I mean, but I would say Monk's Corner
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: is closer to what No Hotspville is, closer to what Mont.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Corner used to be back in the day.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, because when I was growing up, it was only
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: the populations like six seven thousand people, a couple of
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: fast food restaurants.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: But now Month's Corner boom grew, Yeah, boom and boom.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: When you here in Monk's Corner from us, were thinking
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: like you're going to Chost, Are you going down nine
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: to five?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You gotta you're fina drive somewhere if you're going through
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: much corner.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: You even go on to Florida, You're going to Charst
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: because you're Finnah, get on ninety five.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Yea, what part of the South Caroline experience do you
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: think hip hop still hasn't properly captured and you want
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: to bring to the lake.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: I feel like Trim is doing a great job bringing
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: the culture to it because I feel like they don't
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: see that we really got different accents in Carolina, Like
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I'm bringing more of a Southern soul, something like eight
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: or three fresh, you feel, and Trim is bringing the
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: culture like you hear it in her voice.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: You hear it. It's like a different sound. So I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: feel like it ain't no missing scene right now. It's
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: coming real soon. But how can I say it's different?
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: We bringing different culture, But I feel like Trim gonna
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: do that I feel like I'm just authentic.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Trent is different for Trim because Trim from Chauce. Yeah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to me, that's South Carolina.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: That Geechee Gulla is that culture is really the essence
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: of South Carolina.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: You got.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's what we can with an International African
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: American Museum.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Is I think they say sixty close to sixty percent
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: of all enslaved Africans came through that part.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So so much of the Black experience in America started
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Slavery, slavery, That's why I feel like all of them
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: was dropped off. That's why I feel like that culture
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: is still there. To sounds still there. People really sound
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: like you would think that's a whole, no disrespect, like
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: you would think that's a whole like African, the way
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: they talk. Or I took some people from Charcing to Atlanta.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: They asked me, is that my British partner?
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: Wow?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Because they lingo so different, But they really from South Carolina.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: I didn't know that until I started working here. Yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: I had no.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Sound really wasn't me.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: So it'd be like crazy how people they lived two
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: hours away from us, but it sounds so different. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: really can understand. They can understand me. I say over there,
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: they say something else.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: You ain't even gonna try to say it how they
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: said and I say boat. They don't say boil a lot?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Is that what they say, bro? Or some people say
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: cuz bro say both.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: When you go back home and the people treat you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: like inspiration or like an escape.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Plane inspiration, I think they'd be scared to try to
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: treat me like an escape plan because a lot of people,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: like I say back home, they know exactly who I am,
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: so it'd be more inspiration.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like they love to see me.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: If they love to see me, it'd be crazy to
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: see me because I really don't be outside. I ain't
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: a clubb. I ain't in the clubs. I ain't I
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: ain't at the gas station chilling. So when they see me,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: and they see me by myself and son, they be
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: happy as hell just to see me. I'm still around.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: They definitely be on that. Like I said, my grandma
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: was on my ad bad, so I don't play around.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Grandma went playing that ship.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: She shoid discipline you heavy?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah. I don't need to see why
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: they be tripping by all the other pans when I know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I know I got it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: If Young Trap Diggie could could see your life, now,
• 29:58

  Speaker 5: twenty one, a catch life like a lot of my
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: real life sentence.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: You ain't coming home, you feel what I'm saying.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: So, like I said, my dad died at seventeen, So
• 30:45
