Speaker 1: my women, I'm selected with even music, selected with the
10:13
Speaker 1: clothes I put on them, selected with the people I
10:15

Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, I just don't. I
10:36
Speaker 1: don't want nobody singing along to a song that I'm
10:38
Speaker 1: on and I don't really like the song. That's just
10:40
Speaker 1: the simplesty of it. Do you ever look back at
10:43
Speaker 1: some of the old shit you did before? Maybe like
10:45
Speaker 1: you're in the position you're in now and like be
10:47
Speaker 1: like damn, because you know, I feel like most artists
10:51
Speaker 1: when you're on that independent grind. You might pull up
10:53
Speaker 1: in the city. You might get a bag for a feature,
10:55
Speaker 1: you might get a bag for a hook. You know
10:56
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, I feel like we all haven't
10:59
Speaker 1: been there before, but everybody has for sure. Just me
11:01
Speaker 1: being who I am at this point, I feel like
11:03
Speaker 1: I just stand more from on what I believe and
11:06
Speaker 1: I'll just do what I want to do at this point,
11:08
Speaker 1: whatever happened to the Drake song? I know there was
11:13
Speaker 1: at least one, Yeah, like why did we never? I
11:16
Speaker 1: remember you were telling me in head about them. I
11:18
Speaker 1: think we're at real street Fest and we're talking about it,
11:21
Speaker 1: But like, whatever happened to the Drake shit dropping? Like
11:23
Speaker 1: why did that never come out. I don't really know, honestly,
11:28
Speaker 1: fair enough, I'm not sure you have a lot of
11:30

Speaker 1: went diamond by myself, I don't. Yeah, when you think
11:41
Speaker 1: of a record like the Box, that's a song that
11:46

11:49
Speaker 1: of records like jay Z and Kanye's in Paris, Roddy
11:52
Speaker 1: Rich is the box like where you would be in

13:22
Speaker 1: videos are fucking getting to the point where they're like
13:25
Speaker 1: little movies. Bro, Like, appreciate that for real, Like I've
13:28
Speaker 1: been I remember, like back in the day, with JD
13:30
Speaker 1: film shooting and Ship, it was very like on the
13:32
Speaker 1: spot like but even then, you feel me, we had
13:34
Speaker 1: the vision and even then there was there was like
13:37
Speaker 1: light concepts going on, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, well, no,
13:39
Speaker 1: we had the vision. Like That's why I said, I've
13:40
Speaker 1: been directed my videos since I came out. That's just
13:43
Speaker 1: part of my artistry. So now I just get I'm
13:45
Speaker 1: blessed to be able to work with you know, you know,
13:49
Speaker 1: great creators in their space. You feel me. It's just
13:51
Speaker 1: like the ex'es and the Niggas. I looked at their
13:53
Speaker 1: videos when I was young, you know so, And it's
13:57
Speaker 1: blessed to be able to execute a lot of your
13:58
Speaker 1: visions to the fullest, right yea, So, because sometimes when
14:00
Speaker 1: you're coming up and you're hungry, and you might have
14:03
Speaker 1: a great, great idea, but ideas take money sometimes to execute,
14:06
Speaker 1: you know what I meantimes, But I feel like shit
14:09
Speaker 1: with every season or Die Young or a lot of
14:11
Speaker 1: that Ship, it was still our idea and it just
14:13
Speaker 1: we was We was limited to just our circumstances. So
14:16
Speaker 1: that's just where we showed and I feel like that's
14:19
Speaker 1: what made it so pure, and that's what made people
14:20
Speaker 1: fuck with it. But now at this point, it's just
14:22
Speaker 1: like we we accessible to, we have access to a
14:27
Speaker 1: lot more, and I feel like that's just where we're at,
14:29
Speaker 1: and I want to feed my fans that as well.
14:31
Speaker 1: I don't want to limit them to what we will,
14:34
Speaker 1: you know, cancel them out of what we accessible to.
14:38
Speaker 1: That's fair, That's fair. Yea. Yeah. I heard someone say
14:42
Speaker 1: recently that per Capita Continent has produced the best rappers ever,
14:46

14:49

15:07
Speaker 1: Kendrick album if you got to sit with it. Yeah,
15:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been a lot, a lot. I've been
15:12
Speaker 1: working on my own shit, but I've been listening to
15:14
Speaker 1: tip bits and pieces of it, and you know, I
15:17
Speaker 1: feel like I understand that he's in a place where
15:19
Speaker 1: he's putting music out to push the culture forward and
15:24
Speaker 1: you feel me, just get us to make different shit
15:27
Speaker 1: and it's still sticking at the same time. So it's
15:30
Speaker 1: just like that's what it's about at the end of
15:32
Speaker 1: the day, just doing what you want to do and
15:35
Speaker 1: creating the art that you could be proud of and
15:37
Speaker 1: you feel me. I felt like he does an amazing
15:39
Speaker 1: job at that and putting art work together and releasing
15:42
Speaker 1: it to the people, and I should be. I'm curious
15:45
Speaker 1: LA has. I feel like right now we're in a
15:49
Speaker 1: great space is a city in terms of just the
15:51
Speaker 1: talent that's bubbling in Los Angeles. I feel like a
15:56
Speaker 1: lot of people are working together as to where maybe
15:58
Speaker 1: like four or five years ago fell a little segregated.
16:01
Speaker 1: Who or some of the young LA artists that got
16:03
Speaker 1: your attention, maent that you're that you're just a fan
16:05
Speaker 1: of from you know, and I know you got your
16:07
Speaker 1: guys that that that are in your circle that are dope,

16:39
Speaker 1: You feel me like definitely a nigga just being itself
16:41
Speaker 1: and doing this stuff. Yo, You've gotten to the point
16:44
Speaker 1: of famous where you can't even go to a basketball
16:47
Speaker 1: game without people assuming that you're dating that person. Like,
16:51
Speaker 1: at what point was there a specific moment where you
16:54
Speaker 1: realize shit was just different? Like like shit really is
16:58
Speaker 1: different now, like you can't move the where you maybe
17:00
Speaker 1: used to move it. Was there like a specific moment
17:02
Speaker 1: where you just kind of realize, like fuck, like I
17:04
Speaker 1: don't be tripping, Like at the end of the day,
17:08
Speaker 1: I just move how I want to. Yeah, I felt
17:11
Speaker 1: like in that you feel me. I'm I'm able to
17:15
Speaker 1: still be discreete and do my own thug like you know,
17:21
Speaker 1: I just felt like, shit, the world is gonna think
17:23
Speaker 1: whatever they want to, but at the end of the day,
17:25
Speaker 1: I just I'm move cool. I don't bother nobody. Don't
17:29
Speaker 1: nobody bother me. You fear me, and I fuck with
17:31
Speaker 1: who I fuck with? It. It's just that that's how
17:33
Speaker 1: I'd be Really, that's fair, man. I know you're sitting
17:36
Speaker 1: on a bunch of music. I'm curious how many different
17:40
Speaker 1: times because over a two year period we went. Obviously,
17:44
Speaker 1: you had your first tour, which was crazy because you
17:48
Speaker 1: were you were performing in venues that we're big. But
17:53
Speaker 1: but for as big as the album was, you know,
17:56
Speaker 1: the tour was already booked, so you were selling out
17:59
Speaker 1: like two thousand cedars, you know what I'm saying. But
18:02
Speaker 1: I don't feel like you really had the moment that
18:05
Speaker 1: you deserve to have touring wise, because the pandemic hit.
18:10
Speaker 1: How did you deal with like kind of having to
18:13
Speaker 1: sit down. I know you lost out on a lot
18:16
Speaker 1: of festival money because that summer was going to be
18:18
Speaker 1: crazy for you. Like did you just like how did
18:21
Speaker 1: you redirect all that energy like in the middle of
18:23
Speaker 1: the pandemic. That shit was kind of crazy the first
18:25
Speaker 1: like six or seven months. Man. Yeah, I felt like
18:27
Speaker 1: it's all in God's time, And you know, I feel like,
18:32
Speaker 1: just who I am, I just always accept that, you
18:35
Speaker 1: feel me, what God has with me is for me,
18:37
Speaker 1: and what is not is not And you know a
18:40
Speaker 1: lot of people will be flushed, frustrated, or flustered by that.
18:43
Speaker 1: But I honestly didn't miss out on any sleep. I
18:46
Speaker 1: actually got a good chance to be around my family
18:50
Speaker 1: and you know, be able to get stronger relationships with
18:54
Speaker 1: people that you know actually care about a nigga. So
18:59
Speaker 1: that's more important than you feel me being on the
19:02
Speaker 1: stage or doing anything. And I love my fans, and
19:05
Speaker 1: I've had the luxury of being able to in the
19:08
Speaker 1: pandemic and I'm still doing what I love and I
19:11
Speaker 1: still I'm still doing what I do. So that's just
19:15
Speaker 1: in itself, that's like a blessing fore me. I always
19:18
Speaker 1: look at the positives. I don't try to look at
19:20
Speaker 1: it like it was a bad thing necessarily because I
19:22
Speaker 1: might not have been ready for it. And you feel me,
19:25
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's what that could have been. So
19:28
Speaker 1: I could have been ready for it. I couldn't. But
19:30
Speaker 1: God knew, so he just made my path how he
19:33
Speaker 1: make it. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people
19:35
Speaker 1: instead of focusing on the positive of any situation, now
19:38
Speaker 1: it's let the negative take him out, bro, Like you
19:40
Speaker 1: gotta look at the positive in every situation, yeah, bro,
19:43
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, if you got
19:45
Speaker 1: a negative mindset, You're going to track that energy to
19:47
Speaker 1: you and that's never good for nobody. Like I always
19:51
Speaker 1: tell my young armies, it's just like shit, it's just
19:54
Speaker 1: about what you can give to the world. It ain't
19:56
Speaker 1: about what the world could give to you. And that's
19:58
Speaker 1: game from Nipsey. You feel it's like more so you
20:01
Speaker 1: gotta give yo all to this ship. The game don't
20:04
Speaker 1: really owe you nothing. Nobody owes you anything. You feel me,
20:07
Speaker 1: just just as much as I could be doing it,
20:10
Speaker 1: I could not be doing it. So I just take
20:12
Speaker 1: my blessings with with with a smile. You feel me?
20:14
Speaker 1: Where do you keep the Grammy for racks in the
20:17
Speaker 1: middle at the crib words of that my office. That's
20:20
Speaker 1: a that's a man. It's a big, big award, and
20:24
Speaker 1: that specific award has met so much. I feel like
20:26
Speaker 1: the so many people, you know what I'm saying, like
20:29
Speaker 1: a shout out to hip Boy. You getting with hip
20:31
Speaker 1: Boy at all? And in terms of like just recently,
20:33
Speaker 1: like I feel like that record is so iconic. I
20:36
Speaker 1: feel like it only be right whatever project that's coming
20:39
Speaker 1: you guys gets get one on. I feel like we
20:41
Speaker 1: gotta we got a lot of joints, but you feel me.
20:43
Speaker 1: It's just about timing and just figuring out what fits
20:46
Speaker 1: you feel me. Like honestly, the Racks in the middle
20:48
Speaker 1: Ship I did that after I did like six songs
20:52
Speaker 1: with Pluto. I did that song and my voice was
20:55
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't I could I was horse you did
20:59
Speaker 1: take songs for the future. Yeah, that night and then
21:02
Speaker 1: when I end up doing that one last one because
21:05
Speaker 1: I had to get in with hit and could we
21:07
Speaker 1: be just going? And after that initial first song, that
21:10
Speaker 1: was the first song I deal with him boy, and
21:11
Speaker 1: then we kept doing music. And so that's why I
21:14
Speaker 1: say it's like timing because with that song, if Nipsey
21:17
Speaker 1: wouldn't have picked it, you know, I probably would have
21:19
Speaker 1: just been like, all right, that's another one we gotten. Yeah,
21:21
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out later. And I mean, honestly, you know,
21:24
Speaker 1: it's just about timing with this shit like it ain't.
21:27
Speaker 1: It ain't no like with me and Mustard, it ain't
21:30
Speaker 1: really no pressure, Like we don't be like, oh, we're
21:33
Speaker 1: gonna drop on these niggas and we gonna sell this
21:35
Speaker 1: many records, like we've sold down there twenty million records
21:37
Speaker 1: together and never been like nigga, we have to sell
21:40
Speaker 1: these records. It just happen, just happens organically. Yeah, yell,
21:43
Speaker 1: ain't like over overthinking it. That's what happens before overthink shit. Yo,
21:47
Speaker 1: we just can't pass over here. Six songs with the
21:48
Speaker 1: future in one night. Yeah, this kind of shit happens
21:52
Speaker 1: a lot. Or you hear like artists like yo, I
21:54
Speaker 1: got twenty five songs with Kanye or some shit. It's like, Yo,
21:57
Speaker 1: where are these songs and like where are they at?
21:58
Speaker 1: Like like are we ever gonna hear? I mean, I'm
22:02
Speaker 1: just I'm the type of guy, bro, I just work
22:04
Speaker 1: a lot. Like I work a lot on my way
22:06
Speaker 1: to my radio station, interviews and stuff. I'm on the
22:10
Speaker 1: cars with you, give me the touring people, and I
22:13
Speaker 1: just I'll just be working a lot. Worcoholic. I'm sure.
22:16
Speaker 1: I'm sure the live show is going to be crazy
22:17
Speaker 1: on this definitely. I remember what's the venue in Hollywood.
22:21
Speaker 1: I can't think of the name, but it's the stadium. Yeah, yeah,
22:23
Speaker 1: the pladium that Nipsey sold out. I remember going to
22:26
Speaker 1: that first show you did and when you put out
22:27
Speaker 1: that piano exactly, that was a moment, bro. Yeah, appreciate
22:32
Speaker 1: that that was like, I felt like, damn, I remember
22:35
Speaker 1: this ship in like twenty five. I remember when Roddy
22:37
Speaker 1: sold out the Palladium after Nipsey did it. You know
22:39
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He put out that I remember when
22:41
Speaker 1: I did it with nip I actually ran into head
22:44
Speaker 1: and he was like, Bro, if I don't hear you
22:46
Speaker 1: in the streets, you suck like some ship like that.
22:50
Speaker 1: I was ready to loot that shout out to head Man.
22:55
Speaker 1: I was ready to live that bigger feet bro. That's
22:58
Speaker 1: but he was telling the truth. Like at the end
23:01
Speaker 1: of the day. That's how I treat it to now, Like,
23:03
Speaker 1: if I don't hear a nigg in the streets, if
23:04
Speaker 1: it ain't really buzzing like that, then it ain't making
23:07
Speaker 1: no noise. A nigga can believe in some shit as well,
23:10
Speaker 1: that's another route. But when you're in that position where
23:12
Speaker 1: you could really change a nigga life with the situations
23:15
Speaker 1: and the plugs you have, you gotta see if a
23:17
Speaker 1: nigga want it or not. You know, that's real. How
23:20
Speaker 1: many songs do you think you recorded in the last
23:22
Speaker 1: two and a half years? Countless, bro, I can't count, Like,
23:25
Speaker 1: if you is it more than five hundred? Is it
23:27
Speaker 1: less than two? Of course it's more than five hundred.
23:31
Speaker 1: Is it close to it? Is it close to like
23:32
Speaker 1: seven point fifty? Over that countless? I'm telling you it's countless.
23:37
Speaker 1: I don't want to give a number. And he recorded
23:40
Speaker 1: countless because I heard it. Like you know that you
23:43
Speaker 1: were just recording a lot, like recording yourself at home,
23:46
Speaker 1: and shit, it's a lot, bro. At the end of
23:48
Speaker 1: the day, it's like shooting in the gym. I don't
23:50
Speaker 1: look at it like how people look at it, like oh,
23:52
Speaker 1: it's some money thing, or you gotta put music out
23:54
Speaker 1: and all this shit. Bro, This is my lifestyle is
23:56
Speaker 1: what I do. My music, bet my therapy. A lot
23:58
Speaker 1: of times, you know, to give me a to stop
24:00
Speaker 1: thinking about ship, I just lay it on the wax
24:02
Speaker 1: and it's cool, Like it's over. I got to think
24:05
Speaker 1: about it no more. Somewhere I could listen to how
24:07
Speaker 1: I feel. Music is like therapy. Time slots too, where
24:11
Speaker 1: you can go back two years and listen to yourself,
24:13
Speaker 1: listen to your pitch and where you was at and
24:16
Speaker 1: how you was thinking and all that type of sh it.
24:18
Speaker 1: It's real. Sometimes when you're recording you feel like you're
24:20
Speaker 1: like it's more like a diary for you, Like like, yo,
24:23
Speaker 1: this is just like you can say that, Yeah, you
24:24
Speaker 1: can say that, Like I like like I might not
24:26
Speaker 1: ever put the ship out, but I know it's here,
24:28
Speaker 1: Like I can always say that. It's just that. That's
24:30
Speaker 1: what I said. It's a lifestyle, bro. It ain't like
24:33
Speaker 1: I don't make music to be like I gotta make
24:35
Speaker 1: a hit. I gotta bro this ship is a lifestyle
24:37
Speaker 1: for me. I just do this ship. Bro. It's like Picasso.

Speaker 1: You ain't paint like all my seal this ship for
24:42
Speaker 1: I know he's just painting because he loves it. It's

Speaker 1: I go through, you know, I be here and there
25:30
Speaker 1: whenever I want to hear my voice a little different.
25:32
Speaker 1: I just trying to figure out different different different vibes
25:35
Speaker 1: and see how certain white mics is warmer, certain shit sharper.
25:39
Speaker 1: So I just be playing with shit, Bro, I just
25:42
Speaker 1: be trying to figure it out myself. It's just it's
25:43
Speaker 1: all the art. It ain't no specific way to do
25:46
Speaker 1: this ship, you know, I do we know, like, do
25:51

27:29
Speaker 1: your projects to be that, Like, can I still listen
27:31
Speaker 1: to this album year after year and time at the time.
27:34

Speaker 1: I said, bro, I just make the music that I
28:20
Speaker 1: want to hear a lot of the time. So that's
28:22
Speaker 1: why sometimes it changed and we go through our different
28:25
Speaker 1: phases in life and shit and it's cool, Like you know,
28:28
Speaker 1: that's it's a lifestyle. That's why I pushing like more
28:31
Speaker 1: of a lifestyle for me. It's not I'm trying to
28:34
Speaker 1: make this song be this like. That's why I feel
28:36
Speaker 1: like my music is separated from a lot of other
28:39
Speaker 1: people because I just make it based on where I'm at. Uh.
28:44
