0:53
Speaker 3: from it. You know what I'm saying, I'm more famous
0:56
Speaker 3: now than I was since I dropped it. I'm not
0:57
Speaker 3: gonna lie.
0:58
Speaker 1: I feel like every like couple months, I see some
1:03
Speaker 1: new shit where somebody new will find you, you know
1:05
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, or somebody who will hosts you. It's
1:08
Speaker 1: like you're bringing everybody to the party, like you know,
1:11
Speaker 1: it's been a grind, but it's it's been working, bro,
1:14
Speaker 1: It's always been up up uphill.
1:16
Speaker 3: I feel like all all them years of hard work,
1:20
Speaker 3: eventually they start, like, you know, all the work you
1:24
Speaker 3: put in just start to come to fruition. Like go
1:27
Speaker 3: to seeds you planted years ago. They just one minute
1:31
Speaker 3: it's dirt and then you turn around it's a big
1:33
Speaker 3: ass tree.
1:34
Speaker 1: Oh shit, what year was it? Would you say? Because
1:37
Speaker 1: obviously you've been grinding on the ndccene for a long time,
1:40
Speaker 1: but before we knew that name, before we knew Rome Streets,
1:43
Speaker 1: what was the first kind of like year that you
1:45
Speaker 1: kind of took rap serious or you was like, you
1:47
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna actually apply myself to this shit.
1:52
Speaker 3: I would say, like like twenty eighteen, Okay, like you know,
1:59
Speaker 3: like seventeen, twenty eighteen. So when it started to really
2:03
Speaker 3: make sense for me, like people was actually spending money
2:07
Speaker 3: on my music, like buying downloads, right, yeah, buying also
2:12
Speaker 3: like buying vinyls and fucking cassette tapes and CDs, Like,
2:17
Speaker 3: oh shit, I could sell a CD for fifty dollars.
2:20
Speaker 1: Was there anybody who kind of just started to go
2:23
Speaker 1: for me? Because I kind of feel like back then,
2:24
Speaker 1: like the whole vinyl wave was like I would say,
2:28
Speaker 1: like in it's like infancy stage right, you had like
2:31
Speaker 1: the Griselda guys doing the vinyl and the hard copies.
2:33
Speaker 1: Like who was it that kind of showed you the
2:35
Speaker 1: way in terms of like turning your fan base into dollars.
2:39
Speaker 3: It wasn't really just someone actually showed me. I was
2:43
Speaker 3: just observing, you know what I'm saying, Like I seen
2:46
Speaker 3: what was going on, and I was like, you know what,
2:49
Speaker 3: I want to be involved in that. So I just
2:52
Speaker 3: you know, started figuring out ways to put myself in
2:58
Speaker 3: in the middle of her we king because I was
3:01
Speaker 3: from the outside looking in. And then I just figured
3:05
Speaker 3: it out, like I just started putting our music. And
3:08
Speaker 3: then you know, the labels that was doing the vinyl
3:11
Speaker 3: deals for the other artists, they just started reaching out
3:13
Speaker 3: to me like.
3:14
Speaker 2: Yo, I want to do something.
3:15
Speaker 3: But at first, I can honestly say, at first, before
3:19
Speaker 3: I ever got a real vinyl deal for real, I
3:21
Speaker 3: think I just invested my own money into it. It's like,
3:25
Speaker 3: you know, I'm impressed up my own ship. I did
3:27
Speaker 3: my research and flip it. Yeah, and flipped it. I
3:31
Speaker 3: fucked up the first time because I didn't really understand
3:35
Speaker 3: the whole concept of like worldwide shipping. I charged everybody
3:40
Speaker 3: the same shipping price, right.
3:42
Speaker 1: So if someone bought some like you're up, you're like.
3:46
Speaker 3: Seven dollars for shipping, and Nigga ordered something from fucking
3:50
Speaker 3: Bulgaria and now, of course thirty dollars to me to ship.
3:53
Speaker 1: It there, then you're upside down on that piece of Yeah.
3:56
Speaker 3: So you know, like it was a learning process, but
3:59
Speaker 3: I had to. I had to go through that, so
4:02
Speaker 3: you know, I can't really complain, But no one actually
4:06
Speaker 3: sat me down and showed me how to do this shit.
4:08
Speaker 3: I just seen it, like, Okay, he's motherfucker selling their
4:11
Speaker 3: music on this website.
4:13
Speaker 2: So let me actually make a.
4:16
Speaker 3: Page on this site and then put my music up there,
4:19
Speaker 3: and then see if I have five thousand followers at
4:23
Speaker 3: this time, let me see how many of them are
4:26
Speaker 3: actually just casual fans and how many people is die
4:29
Speaker 3: hard gonna support this? You're in the same thing, because
4:32
Speaker 3: I feel like putting your product up for sales gonna
4:34
Speaker 3: separate your fan base, is gonna.
4:37
Speaker 2: Show you who's really really really fucking with.
4:39
Speaker 3: You, yeah, and who's just you know, what I mean,
4:42
Speaker 3: They're just gonna click and watch it for two seconds.
4:44
Speaker 3: So once I did that, I think it was when
4:46
Speaker 3: I put out Street Pharmacy. I put it on my
4:49
Speaker 3: band camp page and then people started buying that shit,
4:52
Speaker 3: and then from there I was like, oh, yeah, I'm
4:55
Speaker 3: a rapper. Now people actually spend money from my wraps.
4:58
Speaker 1: So yeah, the fact shout out to the band camp.
5:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, band Camp, listen.
5:02
Speaker 3: Man, first twenty bands I've seen off music was from
5:05
Speaker 3: band camp and I never looked back.
5:07
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. It's crazy too, because I'm sure like during
5:10
Speaker 1: that time, you're trying to navigate, like, well that record
5:13
Speaker 1: obviously everything was produced by Farmer Beats. But you know
5:18
Speaker 1: what I always tell artists, the hardest shit is to
5:20
Speaker 1: when you're an independent artist, you put an album out,
5:23
Speaker 1: trying to figure out because you know, so many people
5:24
Speaker 1: get shit off YouTube, trying to take care of all
5:27
Speaker 1: the producers get shit signed off on what I'm saying.
5:31
Speaker 1: That's that shit they don't talk about, you know.
5:33
Speaker 3: But see, like I feel like at that point in
5:35
Speaker 3: time in my career, people was just like eager to
5:41
Speaker 3: work with me, just as.
5:42
Speaker 2: Bad as I wanted to work with them.
5:44
Speaker 3: So it's like a lot of the i mean the
5:46
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, back door shit that was going on,
5:49
Speaker 3: I wasn't even really involved in it, Like with Farmer Beats,
5:52
Speaker 3: Like my whole ideology behind that was like, Okay, me
5:56
Speaker 3: being from New York, how will I extend my fan
6:00
Speaker 3: base if I work with people from New York that
6:03
Speaker 3: ain't really big like you. I mean, I'm not big,
6:06
Speaker 3: so most of the people in my peer group they're
6:08
Speaker 3: not really that big either. So it's like if I'm
6:10
Speaker 3: always working with them, I'm not really going.
6:12
Speaker 2: To get further. You're exposing myself a new audience.
6:17
Speaker 3: So it's like, at that particular time, I was like,
6:19
Speaker 3: you know what, let me just try to work with
6:21
Speaker 3: it all. Like all my producers that I was working
6:24
Speaker 3: with from different regions, whether it's from Canada or from London,
6:27
Speaker 3: whether it's from freaking la. Like, I was always trying
6:30
Speaker 3: to work with people that weren't from where I was from,
6:33
Speaker 3: so my sounds can be where they at, you know
6:36
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Because everybody got fans.
6:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think too. I Mean, you did such
6:40
Speaker 1: a good job of like collaborating with producers on albums,
6:43
Speaker 1: which whether it's Mugs.
6:46
Speaker 2: You know.
6:46
Speaker 1: The Mugs altum was crazy.
6:47
Speaker 3: Because it's like I had a thought like, yeah, at
6:50
Speaker 3: that particular time, there's a lot of rappers that I
6:52
Speaker 3: wanted to work with, but I'm like, one, I don't
6:54
Speaker 3: know them too.
6:56
Speaker 2: I'm not paying them thousands of dollars to rap.
6:58
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, the producers want
7:01
Speaker 3: to work with me, they're gonna get me free. They
7:03
Speaker 3: just want to send me beats all day. Like, yo,
7:05
Speaker 3: I don't want no money, just put the music out.
7:07
Speaker 3: You understand saying it was easier for me to collab
7:09
Speaker 3: with producers at that particular time, that makes the busiest. Yeah,
7:13
Speaker 3: and it was easier. And it's like, you know, producers
7:17
Speaker 3: got a lot of fans, so that kind of just
7:21
Speaker 3: opened up a lot of doors for me just collabing
7:23
Speaker 3: with producers. Once I got in with Mugs, it's like
7:26
Speaker 3: that's when shit started to change for real, for real,
7:28
Speaker 3: for real.
7:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like when you can do an album
7:30
Speaker 1: because I feel like Mugs is very careful about who
7:33
Speaker 1: he works with. It's never about numbers, it's never about clout,
7:36
Speaker 1: it's about fit. So when Mugs does some shit, whether
7:39
Speaker 1: it's with TF whether it's with you Mayhem, Loran or whoever,
7:42
Speaker 1: it's it's a co sign that really means something.
7:45
Speaker 3: Of course, because anytime Mugs really does something with an artist,
7:49
Speaker 3: it's like a passion play. You understand I'm saying, Like
7:52
Speaker 3: he's not really stressing for money, like he he's rich
7:56
Speaker 3: forever all for jump around, right, you.
7:58
Speaker 2: Understand I can sell all that shit.
8:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's like if he does something, it's because
8:03
Speaker 3: he genuinely wants to fuck with it, like it's a
8:05
Speaker 3: passion play.
8:06
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
8:07
Speaker 3: He's not gonna work with everybody. He has to really
8:10
Speaker 3: really like enjoy what you do. So me being able
8:13
Speaker 3: to work with Mugs is just like an honor, you
8:15
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But yeah, once I got in
8:17
Speaker 3: with Mugs, that's when like I broke through the next
8:21
Speaker 3: level of this ship, you know.
8:23
Speaker 2: What I'm saying. Then I got with Griselda, that was
8:24
Speaker 2: a whole other level, whole other thing, mister mass A pill,
8:27
Speaker 2: It's a whole other level.
8:28
Speaker 3: So it's like I'm just grateful that I'm able to
8:31
Speaker 3: move up the ladder, Like how I am?
8:33
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
8:34
Speaker 1: When you do that I mean, because this is your
8:36
Speaker 1: is it your second or third release with Mass.
8:38
Speaker 3: Appeal, It's my second trainspotting with Conductor. It's like a collapse,
8:42
Speaker 3: say my first solo.
8:45
Speaker 1: Are you able to get any like feedback from Nas
8:47
Speaker 1: on the album or does he tap in.
8:49
Speaker 2: Like yeah, he fucks with it? Yeah?
8:51
Speaker 3: I see Nahs like you know, whenever I do run
8:54
Speaker 3: into him, he always be saying some fly shit to me.
8:56
Speaker 1: So he is he like a sincere and where he
9:01
Speaker 1: he'll just drop like two sentences on you to just
9:03
Speaker 1: stick with what you like you need to go.
9:06
Speaker 3: I feel like, just for me knowing Nas, I don't
9:09
Speaker 3: feel like he was really acting out a character on
9:13
Speaker 3: Belly Yeah, but then when I do speak to him,
9:17
Speaker 3: it's not like two words right right, he really expressing himself.
9:22
Speaker 2: So do you.
9:23
Speaker 1: Feel like it's funny because you always here like Codway
9:26
Speaker 1: and those guys always talking about how they'll never ask
9:27
Speaker 1: Jay for a feature even though they were with rock Nation.
9:30
Speaker 3: I mean, you feel like Yo for a record acts
9:34
Speaker 3: Nas for features already, you know, but it's it's all
9:39
Speaker 3: about timing. You get what I'm saying, And I feel like,
9:43
Speaker 3: personally this is just me the longer it takes for
9:48
Speaker 3: me to get on a song with NAS the better
9:53
Speaker 3: artists summer be yeah, because like my whole thing is,
9:56
Speaker 3: I'm not really comfortable, like motherfuckers might be like yo, mom,
10:00
Speaker 3: you nice you to, but I feel like I can
10:02
Speaker 3: always be better. It's always like something I could do
10:05
Speaker 3: to improve my artistry my MCN. So it's like, if
10:10
Speaker 3: I do a song when NAS tomorrow is gonna be good.
10:13
Speaker 3: But if I do a song with NAS next year,
10:15
Speaker 3: I'd be a much better at MC next.
10:17
Speaker 2: Year than I am today.
10:19
Speaker 1: Truth.
10:19
Speaker 3: It's like and me, I'm not really rushing it, but
10:22
Speaker 3: I would love to do something.
10:23
Speaker 1: Like when it happens, it's gonna be yeah the right time.
10:26
Speaker 3: One thing about me like I don't really force things,
10:31
Speaker 3: Like things just happen when they're supposed to happen, you
10:34
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying with me, Like I just believe
10:36
Speaker 3: in like divine timing not you know what I'm saying.
10:39
Speaker 2: So that's my whole shit pool.

17:44
Speaker 3: I was in the club and that day was just wild,
17:47
Speaker 3: Like I was just because I don't know, like once
17:51
Speaker 3: you do psychedelics, like the first time, like I have
17:54
Speaker 3: a hot tolerance to everything, Like right the first.
17:57
Speaker 2: Time I did it, didn't even do nothing to me.
18:00
Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, I've done.
18:01
Speaker 3: Acid, grinding your teeth didn't do nothing. I had to
18:05
Speaker 3: take two of them shits to feel it. So it's
18:07
Speaker 3: like the first time I did askid, I'm like, oh,
18:10
Speaker 3: this shit is ill, Like it's lit, right, because I
18:13
Speaker 3: used to sell that shit before, like I ever did it,
18:16
Speaker 3: so I used to sell it to people and shit,
18:17
Speaker 3: but I used to be shook to take it. So
18:18
Speaker 3: the first time I took it, I was like, Okay,
18:20
Speaker 3: it's lit. But then after a while I was like,
18:22
Speaker 3: all right, I'm cool, I can navigate this. Let me
18:24
Speaker 3: try to take two now. Because I remember one time
18:27
Speaker 3: I knew this guy right, he never did acid before,
18:31
Speaker 3: and he came to me. He's like, y'all want to
18:32
Speaker 3: buy a strip. It's like how many tabs is in
18:34
Speaker 3: a strip? I'm like ten. And these are times I
18:39
Speaker 3: was selling them shits. It was just like one long
18:40
Speaker 3: ass line. It wasn't like divided up, so like he
18:43
Speaker 3: just cut it in half and ate the whole shit,
18:46
Speaker 3: put the whole strip.
18:47
Speaker 2: In his mouth. I was like, oh shit, I'm like, yo,
18:48
Speaker 2: you ever did this before? He's like nah. I'm like, wow, I.
18:52
Speaker 3: Might go this Nigga did like eight tabs at one time. Nah,
18:56
Speaker 3: he was tripping balls. I got a whole nother story
18:59
Speaker 3: about what he's like today, but.
19:01
Speaker 1: That he's like ever since that day, he's never been
19:03
Speaker 1: the same.
19:04
Speaker 2: He hasn't. But I'm like, you know what, fuck it.
19:07
Speaker 3: Like I used to just try to like level myself
19:10
Speaker 3: up with tripping.
19:11
Speaker 2: So one day, like throughout the day, we're just.
19:13
Speaker 3: Eating them shits half at the time, hole one, and
19:16
Speaker 3: by that time I probably was on like three and
19:18
Speaker 3: a half.
19:19
Speaker 2: We went to a club. Now we're chilling in the club.
19:22
Speaker 3: And then like I was cool, and then all of
19:25
Speaker 3: a sudden, that shit just kicked in out of nowhere.
19:28
Speaker 2: Like I was just having a conversation.
19:30
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, it was like this
19:32
Speaker 3: shit was like it looked like Chinese wallpaper, Like this
19:37
Speaker 3: spot that was in it looked like a Chinese restaurant.
19:39
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting at the table having a conversation blah.
19:41
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah, and at the corner of
19:44
Speaker 3: my eye, the wall just starts like moving, like you know,
19:48
Speaker 3: like when it's mad windy and is a flag.
19:50
Speaker 2: The flag is just like everywhere that's what the wall
19:54
Speaker 2: was looking like. So I'm like, oh shit, so we
19:58
Speaker 2: having a conversation. I'm like, oh, Ship, the wall looks
20:01
Speaker 2: fucking crazy.
20:02
Speaker 3: So then I started looking around and there's a guy
20:04
Speaker 3: in the party dancing and ship and then like you know.
20:09
Speaker 2: It's mad Trails.
20:10
Speaker 3: So like he's moving his head to the music and

Speaker 3: his fucking eyes just shot up to the ceiling.
20:15
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, tripping balls.
20:19
Speaker 3: Like yeah, So that was probably the funniest time I
20:22
Speaker 3: ever tripped.

Speaker 1: Everybody had blurred faces.
20:47
Speaker 2: Yo, that's crazy, it was.
20:49
Speaker 1: But they're not could. But the thing is, I don't
20:51
Speaker 1: think people understand when you do psychedelics, or even if
20:53
Speaker 1: you eat a lot of weed it for whatever reason,
20:56
Speaker 1: you could turn into a superhero dog. Because I'm being
20:59
Speaker 1: a mother fucking concert one hundred yards away. I could
21:02
Speaker 1: look at some of the bar and listen.
21:03
Speaker 3: To their whole sh or you could like manifest shit.
21:06
Speaker 3: You could think of something and then it just happened
21:08

22:06
Speaker 2: Like I could say, have you ever been to the
22:07
Speaker 2: Yellow Rose?
22:08
Speaker 4: There?
22:08
Speaker 1: The Red Rose? Those are the strip clubs?
22:11
Speaker 3: Actually, no matter of fact, we went to a strip
22:15
Speaker 3: club in Dallas. We drove from Austin to Dallas and
22:18
Speaker 3: went to some random strip club. It was lit, but
22:20
Speaker 3: it looked like somebody's house.
22:22
Speaker 1: No, in Austin, it is like those are the two man,
22:27
Speaker 1: You're like run into like some random comedian and you'd
22:29
Speaker 1: be like, why the fuck is Tony Hinchcliff making it
22:31
Speaker 1: rain three in the morning at the Yellow Rose?
22:34
Speaker 2: What the fuck is Austin is lit? Man?
22:36
Speaker 3: I would tell any artists you know, when you come up,
22:40
Speaker 3: if you can go to south By, just go.
22:43
Speaker 2: You're gonna enjoy that.
22:45
Speaker 1: Obviously, this album I'm sure has been because you've been
22:47
Speaker 1: working on so many collab projects. But I'm sure you'll
22:50
Speaker 1: get in and said, what's kind of been the timeline
22:53
Speaker 1: of you working on Soccer? To my pocket, I.
22:55
Speaker 3: Probably started it in November and finished it in February,
23:02
Speaker 3: but it's like a lot of fine tuning that went
23:06
Speaker 3: into it. I feel like it was more months of
23:08
Speaker 3: fine tuning this album. Getting everything It was like rapping
23:12
Speaker 3: and recording. You know what I'm saying, because it's like
23:15
Speaker 3: I always have leftover songs from the last album, right,
23:18
Speaker 3: so you know, I like, I'll start off with a
23:21
Speaker 3: batch of songs that I already did in the playlist
23:24
Speaker 3: and it's like, okay, let's make more, and as I
23:27
Speaker 3: make more of those original.
23:28
Speaker 2: Songs, I'm moving all the way down to the end.
23:31
Speaker 2: So it's like, with this shit I probably made, I
23:32
Speaker 2: probably had.
23:33
Speaker 3: Like twenty five to thirty songs, so it's just trying
23:36
Speaker 3: to but I liked all of them, like so something.
23:38
Speaker 3: I really liked all of them, so it's hard to pick.
23:41
Speaker 3: But it's like, all right, I love this song, but
23:44
Speaker 3: it's there song that I like better that can replace it.
23:47
Speaker 3: So it's like I really had to like remove a
23:49
Speaker 3: lot of emotional attachment that I have from records and
23:53
Speaker 3: just like which ones feel the best?
23:55
Speaker 1: Then you just do lost tapes.
23:57
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, no, I'm gonna trust me, Yo. The Road
23:59
Speaker 2: Speaks Thus Tapes is gonna be crazy, insane.
24:02
Speaker 3: I promise it's insane because every album that I've done
24:06
Speaker 3: is mad, Like I have mad songs from Kiss the
24:08
Speaker 3: Ring that never came.
24:09
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you got to us and giggles like, just
24:12
Speaker 1: drop a little twenty piece.
24:14
Speaker 3: Every single album that I've done, there's songs that's left
24:18
Speaker 3: over from there. So it's like I got one hundred
24:21
Speaker 3: unreleased songs that I don't even know what to do with.
24:24
Speaker 3: That's not even counting all the albums that I have
24:27
Speaker 3: already like put together. That's just on the fucking conveyor belt.
24:32
Speaker 1: So it's like, where do you rank Naz's lost tapes
24:35

Speaker 2: You understand what I'm saying.
29:37
Speaker 3: But it's like I love it though, because I remember
29:40
Speaker 3: when nobody knew who I was. But it's I see
29:42
Speaker 3: the difference in me, Like putting out this album right now,
29:46
Speaker 3: like I got the reach is crazy. So it's like
29:49
Speaker 3: I still want to do more things. I still want
29:51
Speaker 3: to get more ship off. I still want to like
29:54
Speaker 3: release some of the ship that I got on my
29:56
Speaker 3: hard drive before I like do a whole nother collaboration
30:00
Speaker 3: with another rapper.
30:01
Speaker 2: Because like, I got so much shit that need to.
30:03
Speaker 3: Come out that if I was to do a collab
30:05
Speaker 3: album with another rapper right now, that ship not coming
30:09
Speaker 3: out for like a year and a half.
30:12
Speaker 1: Probably already had you already have everything planned out.
30:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you know there's albums that I've been was
30:16
Speaker 3: supposed to put out that I just like, nah, this's
30:19
Speaker 3: got I mean, like I'm a future wave that's supposed
30:24
Speaker 3: to come out, But it's like a lot of things
30:26
Speaker 3: I had that I had to put before that. But
30:28
Speaker 3: then in the midst of it, I'm always creating Ship.
30:31
Speaker 3: I'm always adding new stuff to it, Like me and mugs.
30:34
Speaker 3: Every time I come to La you gotta get in
30:35
Speaker 3: with mugs. Yeah, I did three, so I probably didn't
30:38
Speaker 3: like three songs already.
30:39
Speaker 2: Since I've been here and I haven't been for like
30:41
Speaker 2: two days, I did three songs and mugs.
30:44
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, I'm probably about to go
30:45
Speaker 3: do more ship with somebody else.
30:48
Speaker 2: I was at Alchemist.
30:49
Speaker 1: I was about to say, it feels like the next progression.
30:52
Speaker 2: I was the day we was trapping album.
30:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like even that's just gonna materialize.
30:59
Speaker 2: You ge know what I'm saying.
31:00
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be like, yo, room, let's sit down
31:03
Speaker 3: and do an album. It's just gonna be like, you
31:04
Speaker 3: know what, every time I end up at our crib,
31:06
Speaker 3: I probably record something, and then later on it's like, damn,
31:09
Speaker 3: we got mad ship.
31:10
Speaker 1: I feel like, even if you connected with evidence evidence.
31:13
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's the bro I got shipped. I got
31:16
Speaker 3: songs on his computer right now.
31:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. Trust me. When I come to l A, I always.
31:23
Speaker 1: Got your stops.
31:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got my stop.
31:25
Speaker 3: So I always if I'm here for an extended period
31:27
Speaker 3: of time and everybody's around, I bounce around. I go
31:31
Speaker 3: to mugs, I do some shit. I go link with EV,
31:33
Speaker 3: I do some shit. If I link with al, I
31:36
Speaker 3: go do some ship. I go link with dough Boy,
31:38
Speaker 3: I go do some ship. You ever saying I link
31:40
Speaker 3: with Worthy? He cook up a link with TF. We
31:43
Speaker 3: cook up you know what I'm saying, I link up
31:44
Speaker 3: with two eleven. It's like, you know, is it you
31:48
Speaker 3: always hear that?
31:48
Speaker 1: Like Banks is like kind of an elusive guy these days.
31:52
Speaker 1: We don't like I don't know the last time he's
31:54
Speaker 1: like made a public appearance and he's been putting out
31:56
Speaker 1: so much great music. Yeah he was it is it
31:58
Speaker 1: pretty easy to get the Lloyd Banks feature over over
32:00
Speaker 1: the finish line.
32:02
Speaker 2: I feel like it's easy when the artist fucks with you.
32:06
Speaker 3: Like I met Banks like a couple of years ago,
32:09
Speaker 3: and he always was like, yoah, fuck with what you're doing, Like,
32:12
Speaker 3: let's get some work done, you know what I'm saying.
32:15
Speaker 3: So it's just about the right record, you know what
32:18
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Like I had that song, I'm like, y'all,
32:20
Speaker 3: I definitely hear Banks on this, because you know, sometimes
32:22
Speaker 3: the motherfucker like, Yo, let's do something, and just you
32:25
Speaker 3: being eager, you just gonna send some shit that don't
32:27
Speaker 3: necessarily fit. Like I just feel like that record, I'm
32:30
Speaker 3: like y'all. I can hear Banks on it because everybody
32:32
Speaker 3: that I work with, like I'm a fan of them first,
32:36
Speaker 3: like I've been a fan. So it's like I can
32:39
Speaker 3: just hear certain shit like Yo that he would sound
32:42
Speaker 3: crazy on this just because I love him as an artist,
32:45
Speaker 3: not because it all me rapper wants to do a song.
32:48
Speaker 3: You know, if I wasn't even on the song is yeah, exactly.
32:52
Speaker 3: So it's like that's how I do certain shit, like
32:53
Speaker 3: even the ship with Styles. It's like this would sound
32:56
Speaker 3: ill what I'm saying. So it's like I'm not gonna
32:59
Speaker 3: say it was difficult to get Banks. It's just more
33:01
Speaker 3: so the right song because like even doing a feature
33:05
Speaker 3: with me, it's not really difficult to get me on
33:07
Speaker 3: the feature, but it's like it gotta be the right song.
33:09
Speaker 2: I gotta like like it, you know what I'm saying.
33:11
Speaker 1: So you're born in London.
