5:11
Speaker 1: biggest difference between the West side of Detroit and the
5:15
Speaker 1: East side of Detroit? For real, real, like we both
5:20
Speaker 1: get money. They just grind like they were Dicky fits
5:23
Speaker 1: and ship we were we were we will put fashion
5:25
Speaker 1: on the grind and you feel what I'm saying. For
5:28
Speaker 1: another example, they raped different, We wrap flashy. They rap
5:32
Speaker 1: about the track. We all wrap about the track. But
5:34
Speaker 1: just just how just how it is. You feel what
5:36
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you say, it's kind of like if
5:37
Speaker 1: you think of New York, you think of Harlem being
5:39
Speaker 1: like the flashy, fashion like spy. So the West Side
5:42
Speaker 1: is kind of like the Harlem of Detroit. You feel
5:44
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, that makes sense? Yeah? Does. When
5:48
Speaker 1: you were growing up, did you listen to Eminem at all? No?
5:50
Speaker 1: I ain't started listening to him until like a year ago.
5:53
Speaker 1: You know that, like what's that one song like that
5:56
Speaker 1: you only get your chance to blow? I never actually
5:59
Speaker 1: listened to what he was talking about on there. You
6:01
Speaker 1: feel I finally listened to it and lose yourself. Yeah,
6:04
Speaker 1: lose yourself. So when I finally this is to when
6:06
Speaker 1: I was hearing with you to say, I'm like, all right,
6:08
Speaker 1: like this hard for real, for real, It's so wild
6:10

13:34
Speaker 1: signed people and really kind of waste people's time. Some
13:38
Speaker 1: people don't be working at the same that's true. Sometimes
13:41
Speaker 1: people get signed and they think that the work's over.
13:43
Speaker 1: They got the pay, they got the bag. Now that's
13:45
Speaker 1: when the work starts. Did you know, it's a whole startover.

Speaker 1: It's like you starting starting over through the street phase.
13:51
Speaker 1: Now you in this big you in this big room now,
13:53

Speaker 1: noticed too, is when you came in you didn't have
15:02
Speaker 1: your chain on. You put your chain on for the interview,
15:05
Speaker 1: which makes sense. Yeah, because because of that, well I mean,
15:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying that if it was because
15:11
Speaker 1: that'd be smart, because if you're just rolling around because
15:13
Speaker 1: of that, I'm gonna walk out with this motherfucker. I'm
15:16
Speaker 1: just saying. I mean, I know that I was like,
15:17
Speaker 1: that's smart. I'm not saying that you're scared. If I
15:20
Speaker 1: was an artist, I would I would just hell, I
15:23
Speaker 1: wouldn't be wearing that ship if I was going to
15:25
Speaker 1: seven eleven. You see, then some people just make some
15:29
Speaker 1: dumb mistakes and just go. You ain't got to anywhere.
15:32
Speaker 1: You ain't going nowhere. I'm coming from the room. What
15:35
Speaker 1: do you think is the biggest misconception about your city? Man?
15:39
Speaker 1: Everybody think it's a bad thing. They think like we're
15:41
Speaker 1: gonna come fuck something up as soon as we get there.
15:44
Speaker 1: It's really cool because it's a lot of ship you
15:46
Speaker 1: can see a lot of foods, you can eat, a
15:47
Speaker 1: lot of people you can meet too. You feel if
15:50
Speaker 1: you're looking for the bullshit, that's when the bullshit comes.
15:54
Speaker 1: Your attract what you're looking for. But there's so many
15:56
Speaker 1: clubs out there you can go to enjoy yourself like
15:59
Speaker 1: nothing gonna happen. You're not gonna get shot up. Like
16:01
Speaker 1: people think, what was that area is a little Greece
16:04
Speaker 1: or a little uh uh. The area that we drove
16:09
Speaker 1: through this with the strip of bars downtown, Greektowntown. There's yeah,
16:15
Speaker 1: there's like a strip of like restaurants and bars called Greektown, right. Yeah,
16:19
Speaker 1: it ain't no strip, no, no, no strip clubs. But
16:21
Speaker 1: when we went down there, the security dude was talking.
16:24
Speaker 1: She's like, he don't go to Greektown by yourself. I
16:26
Speaker 1: was like, we drove through. It looks like some tourist ship.
16:28
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, shouts of a great food out
16:33
Speaker 1: there at strip clubs. Great food. What would be if
16:37
Speaker 1: somebody were to go to Detroit would be the one
16:39
Speaker 1: restaurant that they'd have to eat at. You got the
16:42
Speaker 1: quart from Media with grill, it'd be like the street
16:45
Speaker 1: the street foods out there, like people from there and
16:48
Speaker 1: got their own restaurants, like you pretty tapped in with
16:50
Speaker 1: the Pistons. Yeah. I know a couple of Cunningham, yet
16:55
Speaker 1: I don't really know him like that watching him City
16:58
Speaker 1: is a Stewart. That's the guy who got so that
17:00
Speaker 1: he almost follow Lebron. Yeah. Hey, worst case scenario could
17:04
Speaker 1: be your security in the off season. That dude, that
17:07
Speaker 1: dude looks like he had the one to play with.
17:10
Speaker 1: How you feel about the Pistons young team, great pieces.

17:20
Speaker 1: a Lions guy? I don't really watch football like that. Well,
17:22
Speaker 1: I guess when you go up to Detroit and the
17:23
Speaker 1: Lions are the worst NFL franchise of all time. I
17:26
Speaker 1: used to go there as a kid though, like I
17:28
Speaker 1: used to go to the game, so I just never
17:29
Speaker 1: played football. I'm a big big basketball If they were
17:33

17:35
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, I feel bad for Lions. I got
17:38
Speaker 1: a couple of my homies from detroiting their die hard lines.
17:41
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, that's rough. You remember that if we
17:44
Speaker 1: get one this year, y'all won't. Though, y'all won't. Y'all
17:48

18:02
Speaker 1: all right there, yeah, yeah, little Caesars Arena, Tiger Stadium

18:26
Speaker 1: this rap career? Shit, would you say there was ever
18:28
Speaker 1: a low point in your rapping career where you did
18:30
Speaker 1: not know if it was worth the time or the
18:33
Speaker 1: investment to continue pursuing it. No, not for real, because
18:37
Speaker 1: I was actually doing it for fun. I was actually
18:39
Speaker 1: doing it because I wanted to do it. So you
18:40
Speaker 1: were doing it just because you wanted to do it.
18:42
Speaker 1: Like whether or not you were making money on it
18:44

18:46
Speaker 1: found out about Distro and somebody told me about like

Speaker 1: always knew you wanted to do music or was it
27:08
Speaker 1: something more that you just kind of fell into. Because
27:10
Speaker 1: I just fell into that. I was playing basketball, so
27:12
Speaker 1: you were like a serious ball player. Yeah, that's all
27:15
Speaker 1: I did, you feel me? So it went from me
27:18
Speaker 1: playing basketball, then me making money, then dropping out to
27:22
Speaker 1: me just going to the studio with my brothers and
27:24
Speaker 1: them to have fun. And it was just so much fun.
27:26
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm just do this because I like it. Yeah.
27:28
Speaker 1: Because they taught me how to I'm a quick learner.
27:30
Speaker 1: They taught me how to make folk bars like you
27:32
Speaker 1: ain't got to do nothing to make faux bars round,
27:34
Speaker 1: folk lines around. And when I seen it was easy,
27:37
Speaker 1: I just kept doing. When my brother died, it made
27:39
Speaker 1: me just press it more, like I feel damn, So
27:42
Speaker 1: your brother that rapped past away. Now he don't even
27:44
Speaker 1: wrap He was just somebody who pushed me, okay, okay,
27:47
Speaker 1: to keep going. All my other brothers wrapped up. But
27:49
Speaker 1: he was just the person who'd be in the studio
27:51
Speaker 1: when I did my verse. You's like, no, you gotta
27:53
Speaker 1: make sense. Also, he would like kind of like help
27:56
Speaker 1: direct you, like, yo, dude, you should do it this
27:58
Speaker 1: way type shit. His name Solid Crumb. My other brother
28:02
Speaker 1: somebody like make me get off the block, like get
28:05
Speaker 1: in the car with me. I'm paying for the studio time.
28:08
Speaker 1: So you would say he was like a big motivation
28:10
Speaker 1: to keep you out the streets for sure. When he
28:13
Speaker 1: passed away, you dive all the way in on this ship.
28:15
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, damn. Sometimes, man, you gotta take what you can.
28:19
Speaker 1: It's positive at a tragedy. So how serious were you
