- 0:35Speaker 1: we got the whole thirteen year old, so I really

- 0:39Speaker 1: I got a fourteen You got a teenager. It's the
- 0:41Speaker 1: most irritating age in the world. Girl a boy? Your boy?
- 0:44Speaker 1: Oh see, I got a little girl. I think girls
- 0:46Speaker 1: are worse when now that seems scary. Boys are just
- 0:48Speaker 1: irritating because it's like a reflection on myself. So it's
- 0:50Speaker 1: like I'll be wanting to fire him up and he
- 0:52Speaker 1: taller to me right now too, So I gotta like
- 0:54Speaker 1: work out a little bit. He taller in you what
- 0:56Speaker 1: his mom must be tall? No, I don't know how
- 0:58Speaker 1: he ended up taller than me. He just only like
- 0:59Speaker 1: this much tall to me right now. Ok. He's still
- 1:01Speaker 1: growing exactly, and he's a basketball player. So you aren't
- 1:05Speaker 1: you smelling like the finest of weed? I talked a
- 1:07Speaker 1: lot of weed. That's what they were saying on the
- 1:09Speaker 1: airport when I got there too. That and that type
- 1:11Speaker 1: of stuff irritate me. When you're just walking back, somebody
- 1:13Speaker 1: smell like weed? Did you fly? You bought your own
- 1:15Speaker 1: in Yeah? Okay, get on the plane. Yeah, that's because CALLI.
- 1:18Speaker 1: And it's legal in New York, so that makes sense.
- 1:20Speaker 1: You feel me brought me a little ounce. Well, you
- 1:24Speaker 1: don't like New York weed? You just it's too expensive.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Y'all irritate me with y'all weed because we don't have
- 1:29Speaker 1: the dispensaries and access I think yet, all right, I
- 1:32Speaker 1: respect it. I don't gotta deal with that. You know,
- 1:33Speaker 1: they got a mad Jersey. Jersey got the dispensonies. If
- 1:35Speaker 1: you got a medicinal card, Callie, they've been doing that. Yeah,
- 1:38Speaker 1: I don't need a card I just called a homie. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:41Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Now, let's since you do
- 1:43Speaker 1: have a sad let's talk about more black superheroes. The
- 1:45Speaker 1: album that you have out, um, you know, it came
- 1:48Speaker 1: out a couple of months ago, right going to Summer
- 1:51Speaker 1: Julie two months ago. It was fast. Yeah that's crazy. Yeah,
- 1:55Speaker 1: So how is the process making this album? I know
- 1:57Speaker 1: you had said previously that you went to therapy for
- 2:00Speaker 1: like three years and it made it a little difficult
- 2:03Speaker 1: to write at certain points. Yeah, it was tough, um,
- 2:06Speaker 1: just because the accountability factor that came with therapy. Um,
- 2:10Speaker 1: usually because I had just got out of relationship. It
- 2:12Speaker 1: was like my first like healthy relationship. I feel like
- 2:14Speaker 1: I was with your like three years. All my other
- 2:17Speaker 1: relationships I feel like was based off trauma bonding, but
- 2:20Speaker 1: this was like my first time I had like a
- 2:22Speaker 1: healthy relationship. It felt like. So when I lost her,
- 2:24Speaker 1: I was still happy because I was like, I'm going
- 2:26Speaker 1: to make a fire album because like I can make
- 2:28Speaker 1: a heart I can make a heartbreak album. You know
- 2:30Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Then I'm in therapy and my therapist
- 2:33Speaker 1: making me address stuff and make me hold myself accountable,
- 2:35Speaker 1: so I couldn't. I feel like I couldn't approach music
- 2:37Speaker 1: the same. It was hard to make certain songs, and yeah,
- 2:40Speaker 1: it took a while to even figure out what I
- 2:41Speaker 1: wanted to talk about. Now, when you talk about your
- 2:43Speaker 1: previous relationships before that, what do you mean by trauma bonding?
- 2:47Speaker 1: Like what was like just my baby, my baby, mama. Um.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I think we were just too hurt people that this
- 2:52Speaker 1: was fighting just so we can make up. The making
- 2:54Speaker 1: up part was the best part for me, because like
- 2:56Speaker 1: it's makeup sex, you know what I'm saying, it's passion.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Some people felt like fighting me you really care too,
- 3:01Speaker 1: like when you guys argue passionately. And I've had people
- 3:04Speaker 1: tell me like, if you didn't feel like you want
- 3:05Speaker 1: to kill the person that you're Yeah, and that's I
- 3:08Speaker 1: hear that a lot in my community too. And I
- 3:10Speaker 1: get it though, because you know, haydon Love, they kind
- 3:11Speaker 1: of live in the same house, you know what I'm saying.
- 3:13Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I don't want to be
- 3:15Speaker 1: in that vibe no more because trauma bonding is so real,
- 3:18Speaker 1: and we have trauma bonds, not even just with the
- 3:21Speaker 1: opposite sex. Growing up in the hood, you start hustling,
- 3:25Speaker 1: or you in a gang or whatever. Sometimes a lot
- 3:27Speaker 1: of that is trauma bonding to you all bonding over
- 3:29Speaker 1: the wrong trauma bond with the homies. Yes, that's crazy.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I never thought about that right now, spokes, we didn't
- 3:35Speaker 1: go do a drive ba. The most trauma bonding is,
- 3:39Speaker 1: I guess it's with my homies. So yeah. On L
- 3:42Speaker 1: L SAMG too, Man, you say one of the greatest
- 3:44Speaker 1: lines I've ever heard in reference to folks trying to
- 3:47Speaker 1: heal what You don't say it, but the woman on
- 3:49Speaker 1: the song says it. She said that they ain't know
- 3:52Speaker 1: where you're still a bitch ass nigga and you being therapy. Yo.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that yesterday. Um, how like
- 3:58Speaker 1: when I mess up now, I feel like it's heavier
- 4:01Speaker 1: to the people around me because they just expect me
- 4:03Speaker 1: to be perfect because I've been I've been bragging about therapy.
- 4:06Speaker 1: They're like, oh, Nigga, your therapy not working for him,
- 4:08Speaker 1: And I'm just like, growing is for everything. And that's
- 4:11Speaker 1: the frustrating part because sometimes my growing gets staggnant. Sometimes
- 4:14Speaker 1: I take leaps forward, sometimes I backslide, and that's all
- 4:17Speaker 1: the process of it. At least, I just think Therapyti's
- 4:19Speaker 1: made me more aware of it. She gave me the tools.
- 4:21Speaker 1: My therapist gave me the tools. But it's still a
- 4:23Speaker 1: once a week thing. I don't I can't afford therapy
- 4:25Speaker 1: every day, so you know what I'm saying, I go
- 4:27Speaker 1: once a week too. And that's the beauty of therapy
- 4:28Speaker 1: as well, right. It teaches you don't have to be perfect.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Exactly what made you decide to go? I was crying
- 4:33Speaker 1: over my ex um, I thought I just needed therapy. Also,
- 4:37Speaker 1: shout out to my management company, Love Renaissance. Um Summer
- 4:41Speaker 1: first got therapy. They got therapy for her as like welcome,
- 4:44Speaker 1: that's my label made or whatever whatever you want to
- 4:47Speaker 1: call it. But um, she got therapy first because she
- 4:49Speaker 1: was going through a lightning with the media, you know
- 4:51Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So my management got hurt therapists and
- 4:53Speaker 1: they thought it would be a good idea if they
- 4:55Speaker 1: got all the artists therapists. So what's the of Love Rendissance?
- 4:58Speaker 1: Everybody would be sign they got all the artists therapy.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Even they have therapy and we do group therapy. They
- 5:04Speaker 1: do group therapy as like the laborhood. Amazing everybody need
- 5:08Speaker 1: to sign the first Yeah, you know in the in
- 5:12Speaker 1: the nigga world, can I say nigga R yes? And
- 5:15Speaker 1: in the nigga world it looked at, it's looked at
- 5:16Speaker 1: it's crazy, Like that's the stigma around it, Like what
- 5:19Speaker 1: do I need to go talk to somebody I don't
- 5:21Speaker 1: know for and when I could just talk to the
- 5:22Speaker 1: homies or go smoke or do something like that. So
- 5:24Speaker 1: more trauma exactly. And even some days I still lie
- 5:27Speaker 1: to my therapist some days, you know what I'm saying.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Some days I like, I'm busy today because you know
- 5:31Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's irritating growing sometimes it's uncomfortable, but
- 5:34Speaker 1: I know that's where the girls come. But your first session,
- 5:38Speaker 1: she tried to just pull up on me in the studio, like,
- 5:40Speaker 1: you know, just sit around and be a homie, which
- 5:42Speaker 1: ILL appreciate, but I still like saw through it. I
- 5:44Speaker 1: knew what she was doing. So there was a lot
- 5:46Speaker 1: of resistance at first. I don't think we got a
- 5:48Speaker 1: breakthrough to like maybe after the first three months, did
- 5:51Speaker 1: you pass your therapist to blunt or try to no.
- 5:53Speaker 1: After that first time in person, it was all zoom okay,
- 5:57Speaker 1: So I couldn't pass through the bunt through the computer.
- 5:59Speaker 1: So I don't want to be in that last relationship
- 6:01Speaker 1: that had you so upset. Why did you guys break up? Um,
- 6:04Speaker 1: it was a lot. I don't think I was a
- 6:06Speaker 1: great boyfriend at the time. I don't like like bragging
- 6:09Speaker 1: about the zodiac stuff. But I'm a Virgo and they
- 6:11Speaker 1: say we expect perfection out every Yeah, it was like
- 6:14Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. I just had a party
- 6:15Speaker 1: two nights ago. You think, so sometimes we manipulative. It's
- 6:24Speaker 1: crazy because we feel like we're so smart and we
- 6:26Speaker 1: try to use it to manipulate people. But um, I
- 6:29Speaker 1: think on my last relationship, uh, tourists, Okay, Um exactly.
- 6:36Speaker 1: She artists as well, though, And I think my career
- 6:39Speaker 1: got so consuming for her. Not that I told told,
- 6:41Speaker 1: like made her be consumed by me. I just think
- 6:44Speaker 1: it just happened and she started to resent me and
- 6:46Speaker 1: feel like she couldn't be the artist she wanted to be.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Um And yeah, so I think we had an argument
- 6:50Speaker 1: over the trash and she was like, we're breaking up,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, she being checked out, she
- 6:53Speaker 1: being wanted to get away, you know what I'm saying.
- 6:55Speaker 1: So I respect it. She dated one of the homies
- 6:57Speaker 1: now and it's irritating, but wow, tough seeing that around
- 7:01Speaker 1: the city. But that's still your homie. Though now I
- 7:02Speaker 1: ain't talked to him. He act like I did something
- 7:03Speaker 1: wrong to him, but to him, and you got all
- 7:06Speaker 1: these thoughts in your head. You're probably you've probably been
- 7:08Speaker 1: messing around exactly and that's the tough part. But oh
- 7:10Speaker 1: my god, that's awful, except you're not making this better.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Setting was not in my control is the
- 7:18Speaker 1: stuff I'm learning to deal with because that's always hard.
- 7:20Speaker 1: I feel like I always got to control the situation.
- 7:22Speaker 1: So what accountability did you take because I know you
- 7:24Speaker 1: said it's about accountability too, Um, just not speaking up
- 7:28Speaker 1: on stuff I want it just like instead of me
- 7:31Speaker 1: just holding so much stuff in and like putting so
- 7:33Speaker 1: much pressure on her, I could have just spoke on it.
- 7:35Speaker 1: We could have got through it. Um. And I think
- 7:37Speaker 1: supporting her more and like I was making this thing
- 7:41Speaker 1: like this because I was paying for stuff, I was
- 7:42Speaker 1: being a great boyfriend, like, and I know it was
- 7:44Speaker 1: more than that. I needed to support her and the
- 7:45Speaker 1: stuff she cared about and really paid attention, pay attention
- 7:48Speaker 1: to the details, and I don't think I was doing that.
- 7:50Speaker 1: So it's the song Nachalt about that relationship where you
- 7:52Speaker 1: just act like I'm not calling you you nachalt. It's
- 7:56Speaker 1: really more so about me moving around acting like a
- 7:58Speaker 1: fucking niggeting being confused on why she treated me like
- 8:01Speaker 1: a fuck nigga. You know what I'm saying. It's just
- 8:03Speaker 1: like me bragging about how I'm going to take her piece,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and like why are you not answering the phone? Or
- 8:07Speaker 1: just me being irritated by girls who posts on Instagram
- 8:09Speaker 1: and don't text me back because I literally hate that.
- 8:11Speaker 1: But now you are being a thought for your birthday?
- 8:14Speaker 1: What is being a thought to you? I thought I
- 8:16Speaker 1: could be Bill belling me like how to be a
- 8:18Speaker 1: player and like invite all my show these to one place,
- 8:21Speaker 1: and it just didn't not work out. And I thought
- 8:23Speaker 1: I was being so clean. It's not like I was
- 8:24Speaker 1: hugging up on anybody. But I guess girls just could
- 8:27Speaker 1: read through stuff. Yeah, especially if they think they're dating you,
- 8:30Speaker 1: and then and you get invited, you think you the
- 8:32Speaker 1: one like invited me to his birthday party, so it's special.
- 8:35Speaker 1: And that's the thing I'm even though I'll be honest
- 8:37Speaker 1: with these girls. I think if I still move a
- 8:39Speaker 1: certain way, I still think I'm the bad person because
- 8:41Speaker 1: I'll be telling them I'm not ready to be in
- 8:43Speaker 1: a relationship. But me knowing that they're not really understanding
- 8:46Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and still choosing to move forward with them,
- 8:48Speaker 1: I'm still in the wrong. So I invited all them there,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and then the next day I got text like you're
- 8:53Speaker 1: too old to be moving like this, Like they're right
- 8:55Speaker 1: back to the therapy stuff, Like therapy is not doing
- 8:57Speaker 1: nothing for you. You look lame. I'm losing all the
- 9:00Speaker 1: spec for you. It ain't a way. You're still a
- 9:01Speaker 1: bit chass nicky. We get it. Hey, question, you talked
- 9:07Speaker 1: about your first breakthrough in therapy, right, do you shool
- 9:11Speaker 1: like sharing what that was? I'll tell you if you
- 9:13Speaker 1: tell me. Yeah, it was about my mom. It was
- 9:18Speaker 1: either about my mom or my dad. I know. Lately,
- 9:21Speaker 1: I realized I got a lot of frustration towards my
- 9:24Speaker 1: mom just because I feel like she never gave me
- 9:27Speaker 1: a space to be emotional. Your mom, while I hear
- 9:29Speaker 1: that with dad's a lot. I feel like, yeah, my
- 9:31Speaker 1: dad wasn't a round. I think my mom had just
- 9:33Speaker 1: raised me to be tough because she didn't want me
- 9:35Speaker 1: to go out in the world and get punk, you
- 9:36Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, which I get, but I think
- 9:38Speaker 1: it should have been a balance because now when I
- 9:40Speaker 1: get older and somebody tell me they loved me or
- 9:42Speaker 1: want to have emotional conversations, I shut down. It's like
- 9:45Speaker 1: weird to me. I don't like when people get to
- 9:46Speaker 1: touchy philly, I don't like when people give me compliments all.
- 9:50Speaker 1: It all makes me glitch out. And I spoke about
- 9:53Speaker 1: it in an interview before I talked to my mom
- 9:55Speaker 1: about it, and then she saw it and you know,
- 9:57Speaker 1: she got frustrated. But I'm still glad I did it
- 9:59Speaker 1: because then we had the conversation about it after. But
- 10:01Speaker 1: that breakthrough happened me understanding, like, oh, I moved these
- 10:05Speaker 1: ways in these relationships because this relationship in my past
- 10:08Speaker 1: with my mom. So but did she say, did that
- 10:10Speaker 1: change things for you guys? Um? She said sorry and
- 10:14Speaker 1: that we're gonna work on it. Um, But it's still hard.
- 10:17Speaker 1: My brains so conditioned now, and I'm still trying to
- 10:20Speaker 1: work on that. Like I said, I'm aware of it,
- 10:22Speaker 1: but that don't necessarily mean the change gonna happen immediately.
- 10:26Speaker 1: So yeah, my first breakthrough was realizing that I had
- 10:30Speaker 1: daddy issues, you know what I mean. And you addressed
- 10:32Speaker 1: that on Anthony but in Wars and how difficult was
- 10:37Speaker 1: it to confront that topic? Ah? Man, that one is tough,
- 10:41Speaker 1: and that one is because I've been saying it don't
- 10:44Speaker 1: bother me forever. I've been like my daddy, my daddy
- 10:46Speaker 1: ain't been in my life. What I got this far
- 10:48Speaker 1: without him? I don't need them. But then I'm like, oh,
- 10:50Speaker 1: it's really affecting me, Like it's a my abandonment issues
- 10:53Speaker 1: and everything behind it. It's like, I gotta have a
- 10:56Speaker 1: conversation with my dad now, I gotta figure out how
- 10:58Speaker 1: to let this hate go that I didn't even know
- 10:59Speaker 1: I had, like this unaddressed trauma, so irritating. So what
- 11:03Speaker 1: was easier writing that song? I actually, I mean, I
- 11:06Speaker 1: guess you never had to convert with so writing the
- 11:10Speaker 1: song was easier. And It's like I've liked any in
- 11:13Speaker 1: the past years I've reached out. I'd be like saying yo,
- 11:15Speaker 1: but then when he say all right, can you call me?
- 11:18Speaker 1: I just shut down and we don't end up having
- 11:19Speaker 1: a conversation because it's just like I can never see
- 11:23Speaker 1: myself walking out of my son's life. And I know
- 11:24Speaker 1: that's why overcompen saying, now with my kid and I
- 11:26Speaker 1: irritate him, I'll be hugging on him, loving him so
- 11:28Speaker 1: much because my daddy never gave me none of that,
- 11:31Speaker 1: and I just don't understand. It never makes sense to me.
- 11:34Speaker 1: He blamed my mama and say, like, your mama made
- 11:36Speaker 1: it hard. I tried to come around, but it's just
- 11:38Speaker 1: like my baby mama could not stop me from seeing
- 11:41Speaker 1: my kid. Yeah, I will say, you know a lot
- 11:43Speaker 1: of the hate that I started to have for my
- 11:47Speaker 1: dad after therapy once I had a conversation with him
- 11:50Speaker 1: and realized he was just a man dealing with his
- 11:52Speaker 1: own shit. Like he went the therapy two or three
- 11:54Speaker 1: times a week, he was on tending to twelve different medications.
- 11:57Speaker 1: He tried to commit suicide. When I heard that human
- 12:00Speaker 1: in a real way for me, So I started giving
- 12:02Speaker 1: them grace. Grace. That's what my therapist was saying about
- 12:05Speaker 1: my mom when I was explaining my frustrations about her,
- 12:07Speaker 1: and she was like, do you understand how hard it
- 12:09Speaker 1: is to be a single black mom, Like because I
- 12:11Speaker 1: was mad, like I feel like my mama didn't chase
- 12:13Speaker 1: her dreams and like she taught me how to settle.
- 12:15Speaker 1: But then my therapist was like, that's a win right there,
- 12:18Speaker 1: her being able to raise you, and you need to
- 12:20Speaker 1: look at how great that was, and I downplayed that,
- 12:23Speaker 1: and like my mom is a survivor and she's strong
- 12:25Speaker 1: as hell. So yeah, I think we forget that our
- 12:27Speaker 1: parents had lives before exactly exactly, and it goes so
- 12:32Speaker 1: far back, like the way my mom moving relationships come
- 12:34Speaker 1: from my grandma. Then it's like, you know, it's just
- 12:36Speaker 1: a cycle, and we the first generation that has the
- 12:38Speaker 1: luxury of actually healing. They had to. They were scratching
- 12:41Speaker 1: and surviving, you know what I mean. That's why I
- 12:43Speaker 1: said this is the hell generation. I see all my
- 12:45Speaker 1: friends it is like great dads now they all in
- 12:47Speaker 1: their kids life. Therapy is a conversation whether people like
- 12:51Speaker 1: this is using it to look cool. I don't even care,
- 12:52Speaker 1: just because like the message out there. Now you know
- 12:55Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And sometimes you have to think you
- 12:56Speaker 1: wouldn't even be who you are where you are if
- 12:58Speaker 1: it wasn't for how you raised and the way that
- 13:00Speaker 1: things happen. Yeah, that's true. I honestly, I'm still scared
- 13:04Speaker 1: to heal all the way because as a rapper, I
- 13:06Speaker 1: think it's like weak. You know what I'm saying. I
- 13:08Speaker 1: don't think I could thrive as a rapper being healed
- 13:11Speaker 1: all the way. And I'm scared of that. I don't know.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm right, but it's just like, you know,
- 13:15Speaker 1: the world glorified ignorance, and it's just like you gotta
- 13:18Speaker 1: play the game and feel like sometimes and anyone ever
- 13:21Speaker 1: heal all the way and you know you're right. Healing
- 13:23Speaker 1: is a constant journey. It's not a destination. You're right,
- 13:26Speaker 1: But it's just like positive me being like I'm scared
- 13:29Speaker 1: to just become a positive nigga. But you know what
- 13:32Speaker 1: I'm saying, Look how the world started demonizing Chance for
- 13:35Speaker 1: like being happy and it's like, boy, he can't be happy. Yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 1: we had that conversation last time Chance was him. I'm like, damn,
- 13:42Speaker 1: a man can't love his wife like they hating on
- 13:44Speaker 1: Chance because he actually loves his wife. In the meantime,
- 13:46Speaker 1: Big Sulu bomped in Parru. You know what I'm saying.
- 13:50Speaker 1: I saw you told rolling stone that you you probably
- 13:53Speaker 1: like five percent healed. Yeah, we're talking about your growth.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Elaborate now her saying it's never gonna be I'm never
- 13:58Speaker 1: gonna be healed. I don't think I'm no person. I
- 14:00Speaker 1: think I'm just learning more as I grow. As I grow,
- 14:02Speaker 1: So I saw that is. I'm just saying, like I'm
- 14:06Speaker 1: so it make it hard because I'm aware of so
- 14:08Speaker 1: much stuff now, but i still dive into so much ignorance.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Shit Like I wake up in the morning, I turn
- 14:12Speaker 1: on Whack one hunting clubhouse argument videos and start my
- 14:17Speaker 1: day and then I'll be having girls spending night and
- 14:19Speaker 1: they're like, why are you waking up on this type
- 14:20Speaker 1: of time? And I don't, like, I don't know, I'm
- 14:22Speaker 1: like addicted to like this nonsense in this chaos. We'll
- 14:25Speaker 1: just finding the balance. Wake up in the morning, you
- 14:27Speaker 1: know what I mean. Say you're pressed, you know, I
- 14:29Speaker 1: go to my affirmation books. I got like three affirmation
- 14:31Speaker 1: books I read and I don't go to the internet
- 14:33Speaker 1: until I get here six or six in the morning.
- 14:36Speaker 1: So it's just like it's nothing wrong with doing it,
- 14:39Speaker 1: just don't you know, don't let that start you day. Yeah,
- 14:41Speaker 1: meditation actually been helping me because I do it a
- 14:43Speaker 1: lot of anxiety, Like every time I got to post
- 14:45Speaker 1: on Instagram or something like that, it's hard. It's just
- 14:48Speaker 1: hard to turn my brain off. And I know meditation
- 14:50Speaker 1: is supposed to be about like accepting the thoughts for
- 14:53Speaker 1: what it is and letting them pass and staying present,
- 14:55Speaker 1: but I'll be overthinking everything. I'm like, nigga, what I'm
- 14:58Speaker 1: gonna do tomorrow? Like why are they doing me like
- 15:00Speaker 1: this two weeks ago? And it's just like it's hard.
- 15:02Speaker 1: But I'm not human. I know, man, it's human. That's
- 15:04Speaker 1: why I love that line. It ain't know where you
- 15:06Speaker 1: still a bit you're asking therapy, that's not about you.
- 15:11Speaker 1: That's valid. I almost want to write that down and
- 15:14Speaker 1: just look at it a lot, like wow, because that's
- 15:16Speaker 1: a very valid line. I'm glad you appreciate it, man,
- 15:20Speaker 1: well being that this is your first time here and
- 15:21Speaker 1: we haven't had a chance to speak to you before.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about your journey and even
- 15:26Speaker 1: like I know you signed to Endoscope and then how
- 15:28Speaker 1: did you an eminem link up? That was a random
- 15:30Speaker 1: and shit, I don't know, all right, So yeah, I
- 15:33Speaker 1: started singing off in church I'm just fast forward. I
- 15:34Speaker 1: was singing in church and Compton Um realized, I don't
- 15:38Speaker 1: know what you're singing in church, And I got to
- 15:42Speaker 1: talk about thirty years of life. You know what I'm saying.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I was my mama sent me to the church and
- 15:46Speaker 1: Compton I was getting in trouble. She sent me with
- 15:48Speaker 1: her homegirl to go to church. She didn't want to
- 15:50Speaker 1: come with me. Call it the buyer instead of the choir. No,
- 15:55Speaker 1: that's funny as hell. Uh. If a nigga did that,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I'll be so mad. But yeah, I was going gospel
- 16:01Speaker 1: raps at first. Then it was these little kids. I
- 16:04Speaker 1: was going to the church who was game members already,
- 16:06Speaker 1: and I thought there was the coolest niggas in the world.
- 16:08Speaker 1: So I became a follower. Just start following him. After church,
- 16:11Speaker 1: gospel raps wasn't the thing. No more, started doing regular raps.
- 16:14Speaker 1: They started rapping around the city. Got my baby mom
- 16:16Speaker 1: and pregnant. At nineteen, went to Lombe City College, finessing
- 16:20Speaker 1: four a loan, bought studio equipment, was recording in my
- 16:23Speaker 1: mama room for about four years. This white man hit
- 16:27Speaker 1: me on Twitter. In the hood, we think any white
- 16:29Speaker 1: person hit us. We made it. Well, that's what I
- 16:31Speaker 1: thought at the time. He became my manager. At the time,
- 16:34Speaker 1: he came from an ed M background. He was working
- 16:36Speaker 1: with like Scrilics. Interscope ended up calling me, um wow,
- 16:41Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but yeah, I dropped a song called oh My.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Interscope ended up calling me. I leveraged them, like, you know,
- 16:49Speaker 1: he's supposed to do all the labels, but I was
- 16:51Speaker 1: gonna end up going back to Interscope anyway. Signed with them.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Then they put me on the shelf because my manager
- 16:56Speaker 1: at the time, me and him had hit the ceiling
- 16:58Speaker 1: and they just wasn't knowing my manager. It was so scanless.
- 17:00Speaker 1: But then LVRN came around. They had got an imprint
- 17:05Speaker 1: at Interscope, and my A and R at the time
- 17:08Speaker 1: was like, hey man, I got this this company, I
- 17:10Speaker 1: think you should work with um they black and I
- 17:12Speaker 1: think y'all y'all could vibe together. At the same time,
- 17:16Speaker 1: like two weeks before that, he had caught me and say, hey, man,
- 17:19Speaker 1: I don't know how Paul Rosenberg found your music, but
- 17:22Speaker 1: he fucking with you when he want to fly you
- 17:24Speaker 1: to Detroit. So at the same time I got new
- 17:26Speaker 1: management and Eminem took over my contract in like out
- 17:29Speaker 1: of nowhere. It's not like I don't know how you
- 17:31Speaker 1: found me for real, for real, They said the Rihanna
- 17:33Speaker 1: post maybe was the thing, because Rihanna did post me
- 17:35Speaker 1: like one of them years. But were you hesitant as
- 17:39Speaker 1: far as shady or where you like immediately because you
- 17:41Speaker 1: know sometimes people have an issue signing to another artist. No,
- 17:44Speaker 1: I wasn't hesitant because I was already on the shelf,
- 17:46Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And I was just trying
- 17:48Speaker 1: to change my situation. I was thirsty also, and it's
- 17:51Speaker 1: not like I was signing in a new deal. He
- 17:53Speaker 1: just took over my in my original contract. So yeah,
- 17:57Speaker 1: so what a eminem say when you got there? What's crazy?
- 18:01Speaker 1: He don't really talk a lot. I think we both
- 18:03Speaker 1: deal with social anxiety. I'm not even sure I supposed
- 18:04Speaker 1: to say that, but yeah, he just he what was dope?
- 18:08Speaker 1: He told me the songs he liked was like my
- 18:10Speaker 1: album cuts, and he was explaining me those lyrics, and
- 18:12Speaker 1: then that's what made me, That's what made me trust
- 18:14Speaker 1: a judgment because he wasn't just talking to me about
- 18:16Speaker 1: the viral song. So we had that conversation. I went
- 18:20Speaker 1: home and then he just gave me the freedom to create.
- 18:22Speaker 1: So that's why I appreciate them, because he gave me
- 18:25Speaker 1: advice when I needed, but he don't like overset my
- 18:27Speaker 1: creative process. Do you think about making songs that are
- 18:29Speaker 1: going to be more mainstream? Do you plant or do
- 18:31Speaker 1: you just say I just make what I feel like making.
- 18:35Speaker 1: I think this time around, I made a more conscious
- 18:38Speaker 1: effort to at least try to touch like faster bpms.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I think I gets so comfortable making slow heartbreak music,
- 18:44Speaker 1: and I think that becomes selfish to my team because
- 18:46Speaker 1: like Nigga, we're not getting no bag off these slow songs,
- 18:48Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I think it's about
- 18:50Speaker 1: pushing myself, but also not like sacrifice in my integrity,
- 18:53Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because I want to be
- 18:55Speaker 1: a team player. I want to make a hit. It's
- 18:57Speaker 1: not like I'm not in it to make great songs. So, yeah,
- 19:00Speaker 1: there's a lot you just talked about that that I'm lying.
- 19:03Speaker 1: There's only one thing I want to because it's so fantastic.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Most people become gang in the in the street. You
- 19:08Speaker 1: became gang in the church, Yeah, exactly, a crazy thing.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Become gang in the churches. I'm sitting there thinking if
- 19:17Speaker 1: the gang members were coming to church, they clearly was
- 19:19Speaker 1: searching for something else. No, it wasn't. We was going
- 19:21Speaker 1: because all our parents made And that's the thing, and
- 19:23Speaker 1: that's the thing in La. Gangs in churches tied so
- 19:27Speaker 1: like close together, like we always at church growing up.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Every hood had a church they went to, you know,
- 19:33Speaker 1: So yeah, I was really only going for the girls
- 19:39Speaker 1: and then see the homies friend of hood. So when
- 19:41Speaker 1: you got jumped in, did you like asked for God? Like, oh,
- 19:44Speaker 1: God just hurts. I ain't even gonna lie. It was
- 19:46Speaker 1: one of them things where I just was over there
- 19:49Speaker 1: since I was thirteen, and they just like accepted me.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I probably fought my cousin like once he was like,
- 19:53Speaker 1: are you friend the hood? Now? Niggas inn gent me?
- 19:55Speaker 1: And I had to deal with that. I had to
- 19:57Speaker 1: deal with And that's what I'm saying. It's like it's
- 20:00Speaker 1: people from my neighborhood who had to like grow who
- 20:03Speaker 1: actually was born there and had to and had no
- 20:06Speaker 1: choice but to be from there. I walked my happy
- 20:08Speaker 1: ass over there and I didn't have to. And that's
- 20:10Speaker 1: like a message I'd be telling my kid I went
- 20:13Speaker 1: to my kid phone one time and he was saying
- 20:15Speaker 1: cud and his friends. And I should have broke my
- 20:17Speaker 1: heart because like I had never prepared him before that
- 20:20Speaker 1: type of conversation. Before that, I just tried to hide
- 20:22Speaker 1: the reason I started gang banging, forgetting that I'm a rapper.
- 20:25Speaker 1: He's still gonna see any throwing on my hood and
- 20:27Speaker 1: these songs. And I should have been had this conversation
- 20:29Speaker 1: with him because like, yeah, and so he's silver. He
- 20:32Speaker 1: ain't went to no struggle. He don't have no reason
- 20:34Speaker 1: to gang bang. But that's just because the world found
- 20:36Speaker 1: him before I had the conversation with him. And you know,
- 20:39Speaker 1: it's tempting in La. Everybody wants to gang bang in
- 20:41Speaker 1: La because it looked cool, you know what I'm saying.
- 20:43Speaker 1: So that conversation broke my heart. Especially he wanted to
- 20:45Speaker 1: be a crip and I'm a whole blood, you know
- 20:47Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So said, boy, you want to be
- 20:50Speaker 1: a Why does he want to be a crip? I
- 20:53Speaker 1: don't know, man, snoop. Maybe I don't know who knows.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Man being in the gang? Is that what you consider that?
- 20:58Speaker 1: A generational curse? Dang it is um I wanted to stop.
- 21:04Speaker 1: I know, gang banging started with like a sense of
- 21:07Speaker 1: us protecting our community, policing it from like the police
- 21:10Speaker 1: or outside entities and stuff like that. But now we're
- 21:13Speaker 1: just poison it. I'm not gonna lie like, but it
- 21:16Speaker 1: is a sense of brotherhood, a sense of community that
- 21:18Speaker 1: we don't got. But at the end of the day,
- 21:21Speaker 1: we can't act like it's a good thing, you know
- 21:23Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So it is accurse to me. What
- 21:26Speaker 1: do you think when you see people like in New
- 21:27Speaker 1: York emulating it or in other cities where that's not
- 21:30Speaker 1: really the culture up. Yeah, that just show you the
- 21:35Speaker 1: power of la gangbanging and that should be tripping me
- 21:38Speaker 1: out too when I go other places and see it too.
- 21:40Speaker 1: But they still real ones. It's not like they punks.
- 21:42Speaker 1: You go out here and they still like really with
- 21:44Speaker 1: the ship and they still like living by that code.
- 21:46Speaker 1: But I just think, yeah, the ricos is crazy, that's all.
- 21:51Speaker 1: I'm not saying my hood on no more songs. I'm cool.
- 21:55Speaker 1: What do you think about that about them using lyrics
- 21:57Speaker 1: against artists, we're just talking about that. I think it's unfortunate.
- 22:01Speaker 1: I think we gotta be mindful though, because like I
- 22:04Speaker 1: think black I would tell you them the homie earlier.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I think black people got this thing. We feel like
- 22:08Speaker 1: if other black people are not on the side of crime,
- 22:10Speaker 1: then they punks. Like we'll be mad at that mayor
- 22:13Speaker 1: in Atlanta or whatever. She is a governor, but because
- 22:16Speaker 1: she's doing her job. But it's just like this, because
- 22:18Speaker 1: she's standing on the opposite side of you, don't mean
- 22:20Speaker 1: she's wrong, because I get it, and y'all need to
- 22:22Speaker 1: be more mindful of stuff. Y'all saying I get what
- 22:24Speaker 1: y'all doing in these streets. But well, I said on
- 22:26Speaker 1: the song, you know what I'm saying, I agree with you.
- 22:28Speaker 1: And I realized years ago that most people's perception of
- 22:32Speaker 1: real are the definition and real is usually coming to
- 22:34Speaker 1: do it soon. And it's crazy. And it's like that
- 22:37Speaker 1: is that we conditioned by the street code, even like
- 22:40Speaker 1: people that have got nothing to do with the street
- 22:42Speaker 1: be conditioned by it. So to describe the title more
- 22:45Speaker 1: Black Superheroes, because you're not talking about comic books. No,
- 22:48Speaker 1: I'm not not gonna make a book, um, but this
- 22:51Speaker 1: it's a layered title for me. It's about um addressing
- 22:55Speaker 1: the fact that I'm a survivor. I think as black men,
- 22:58Speaker 1: we go outside in the world and we deal with
- 23:00Speaker 1: so much stuff and we just take it to the
- 23:01Speaker 1: chin because we just take it as a norm. And
- 23:04Speaker 1: I wanted to take this moment to give myself credit
- 23:06Speaker 1: that I made it through these situations that it's not
- 23:09Speaker 1: normal the stuff we go through. Also, it's about me
- 23:12Speaker 1: addressing all the sides of myself, Like I got a
- 23:15Speaker 1: vulnerable side, I got an emotional side, I got all
- 23:17Speaker 1: these different sides that I feel like combined to make
- 23:20Speaker 1: the greatest version of myself. And like the superhero part,
- 23:23Speaker 1: that's like being an extra. But I just wanted to
- 23:25Speaker 1: give myself the greatest form of credit by calling myself
- 23:27Speaker 1: a superhero. And also to show my kid, you know
- 23:30Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that you could a superhero he could touch,
- 23:32Speaker 1: not one that's just on TV. Because really for my
- 23:34Speaker 1: kid too, so does just saying realize how famous you are. Yeah,
- 23:39Speaker 1: but he still treat me like the corny dad. His
- 23:42Speaker 1: friends treat me more famous than he do. I don't
- 23:44Speaker 1: know if he's just trying to hide it and not
- 23:45Speaker 1: made me feel cool, But I'm just dad to him,
- 23:48Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But every time we go somewhere,
- 23:50Speaker 1: people taking pictures and he get irritated. And so there's that,
- 23:53Speaker 1: but now here a little TikTok famous kids. So we
- 23:55Speaker 1: go out and he got a little TikTok. People saying, oh,
- 23:57Speaker 1: that's DJ from TikTok, And I think that's it weird
- 23:59Speaker 1: because his TikTok is him doing a little freaky faces
- 24:02Speaker 1: like singing videos. You know, litt light skin faces kids
- 24:06Speaker 1: be doing so now. In the song Stuck, you talk
- 24:09Speaker 1: about how you've been through hell and you can't hide it.
- 24:12Speaker 1: So when you are as open about these issues like
- 24:15Speaker 1: you were on this project, does it make it harder
- 24:18Speaker 1: or easier to create? Um, it's easy to create. It's
- 24:22Speaker 1: hard to be outside in the world. I think I'd
- 24:24Speaker 1: be so drawn drained emotionally from being in the studio
- 24:27Speaker 1: and being vulnerable. It's hard to be vulnerable vulnerable in person,
- 24:31Speaker 1: and that's a hard part when people want to have
- 24:33Speaker 1: deep conversations with me in person and I start shutting
- 24:35Speaker 1: down and I'm like, I did this in the studio.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Don't mean I could do this really all the time
- 24:39Speaker 1: in person. But they're creating. Part is that's my therapy
- 24:42Speaker 1: because I'll be so like confined when I'm not in
- 24:45Speaker 1: the studio. It's finally my release, so it's not really
- 24:47Speaker 1: hard to create at all. Ever, and people who probably
- 24:50Speaker 1: feel like they can relate to you, you know what
- 24:51Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, Oh, he's dealing with the same
- 24:52Speaker 1: things and just go listen to the song. I mean,
- 24:56Speaker 1: we got to talk about it all the time. When
- 24:58Speaker 1: I see you how to value to feedback from your team.
- 25:01Speaker 1: I saw you had said that when you were making
- 25:04Speaker 1: this album. They were like, Okay, this is starting to
- 25:06Speaker 1: sound too much alike the songs that you're doing. You
- 25:08Speaker 1: gotta switch it up. Is that something that you would like?
- 25:11Speaker 1: People get very defensive about their own music, So how
- 25:14Speaker 1: is that for you? I'm super sensitive about my art,
- 25:17Speaker 1: but I'm not sensitive to the people. I trust my producers.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I'm with them every day, so I trust they good.
- 25:23Speaker 1: But they also with me every day, so I know
- 25:25Speaker 1: we all could get complacent with each other. But my
- 25:27Speaker 1: manager Justice, he the most evil nigge in the world.
- 25:30Speaker 1: He tell me when stuff bad, he tell me when
- 25:32Speaker 1: it sucked, and I appreciate them so much for that
- 25:34Speaker 1: because it always pushed me. Sometimes I gotta be like
- 25:36Speaker 1: nigga you from Atlanta. You just got a different ear
- 25:38Speaker 1: than me. But you know a lot of times he right,
- 25:41Speaker 1: and I gotta push myself so I don't me tripping.
- 25:43Speaker 1: It's when other people who I feel like don't really
- 25:46Speaker 1: understand it or understand the culture it got stuff to say,
- 25:49Speaker 1: That's when I get irritated. But it is what it is,
- 25:51Speaker 1: white people. Yeah, there it is. Yeah. Do you communicate
- 25:54Speaker 1: with eminem about your music? Like do you send them
- 25:56Speaker 1: stuff like YO with you? Yeah? I tell him and
- 25:58Speaker 1: he always got He always tell me what he thinks
- 26:01Speaker 1: I should do, and then I've taken into consideration. Sometimes
- 26:04Speaker 1: I listen. Sometimes I don't. Do you ever be like
- 26:07Speaker 1: m you let you ever let Dre hear my ship?
- 26:09Speaker 1: You know, just nah, I'll mean, you know, I'll be
- 26:12Speaker 1: so confused because I've never met Dre a day of
- 26:15Speaker 1: my life. Yeah, Like, so my the ego and me
- 26:17Speaker 1: be like nigga, you don't see me out here making
- 26:19Speaker 1: these moves. But that's entitled it. I know. You know
- 26:22Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It happened when it happened, if it's
- 26:23Speaker 1: supposed to happen. But it's still a thing though. You
- 26:25Speaker 1: from the West Coast, you see right next to him,
- 26:28Speaker 1: like Hendrick from the hood, Like, what's going on, man,
- 26:31Speaker 1: So what's your relationship like with Kendrick? You know, have
- 26:33Speaker 1: ya because you know, I'm thinking like y'all from the
- 26:35Speaker 1: same place with these last albums Miss Morales and the
- 26:39Speaker 1: Big Stuff in Black Superhero, y'all kind of on the
- 26:41Speaker 1: same wave length met at first, like I'm like, damn,
- 26:45Speaker 1: this nigga bigger than me. He didn't took my message.
- 26:49Speaker 1: But also I want to say, if I really care
- 26:50Speaker 1: about the message, like I spoke on with the homies,
- 26:53Speaker 1: if I really care about the message, I should appreciate
- 26:55Speaker 1: Kendrick getting in out there because if not, if I'm
- 26:57Speaker 1: just trying to hold it it's my message, then I
- 26:59Speaker 1: don't really care. But um, for one, that's my favorite rapper. Yeah,
- 27:02Speaker 1: he from my neighborhood, and I just appreciate the doors
- 27:05Speaker 1: he opened just about being himself. I never expect Kindrick
- 27:08Speaker 1: to do nothing for me. He didn't gave me opportunities
- 27:10Speaker 1: because just being letting me come around to see certain stuff,
- 27:14Speaker 1: being in the studio with him. Um so yeah, yeah not.
- 27:18Speaker 1: He not like my best friend. It's like somebody from
- 27:20Speaker 1: my neighborhood who's accessible to everybody from my neighborhood. And
- 27:23Speaker 1: you wrote on his last album. Then you write for
- 27:25Speaker 1: Summer Walker when she but that's the gang stuff. He
- 27:27Speaker 1: I don't even think he knew till after. That's just
- 27:29Speaker 1: because you know what I'm saying. Elvr In gave me
- 27:31Speaker 1: that play Summer My Dogs. So when they came to
- 27:34Speaker 1: you and was like, hey, we need you to write
- 27:35Speaker 1: a verse for Kindrick's album, but it's for Summer, I
- 27:38Speaker 1: was like, you like a word? Okay. I thought you'd
- 27:40Speaker 1: been like what let me. You're happy to do it,
- 27:43Speaker 1: but damn you know you might want to be another
- 27:44Speaker 1: albums one hundred percent. I want to be on an album.
- 27:46Speaker 1: I was just grateful for the opportunity. You know what
- 27:48Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like that again. I don't I don't
- 27:51Speaker 1: be feeling no sense of entitled me and I'll just
- 27:52Speaker 1: be happy like when niggas give me a chance, because
- 27:55Speaker 1: I'll be so condition that nobody's gonna look out for me.
- 27:58Speaker 1: I don't trust nobody anyway, So and somebody actually give
- 28:00Speaker 1: me a chance, I'm like, Oh, it's good humans in
- 28:02Speaker 1: the world. And so I was just happy about the opportunity.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Did your mom think that you were going to make
- 28:06Speaker 1: it back then when you were doing gospel wrap and
- 28:10Speaker 1: getting started with everything. Was she real supportive? My mom
- 28:13Speaker 1: had always been supportive of whatever I wanted to do.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Sometimes I wish she would have pushed me more when
- 28:18Speaker 1: I was younger, But ever since I figured out what
- 28:21Speaker 1: I wanted to do in music and I had to
- 28:23Speaker 1: stay at home with her, and I knew she need
- 28:25Speaker 1: to help with rent, but she just let me record.
- 28:28Speaker 1: She always told me I was gonna make it, and
- 28:30Speaker 1: she'd be so proud of me all the time and
- 28:32Speaker 1: always calling me like, I'm so proud of you baby,
- 28:34Speaker 1: and then yeah, do you think God? Often? Dang, not
- 28:39Speaker 1: as much as I should, or I'd be so I
- 28:41Speaker 1: haven't learned how to be present for real. I'd be
- 28:44Speaker 1: so focused on where I want to be and where
- 28:46Speaker 1: I gotta get to her I feel like I'm supposed
- 28:48Speaker 1: to be. It'd be hard. And sometimes I feel like
- 28:51Speaker 1: I only talk to God when I'm going through stuff,
- 28:54Speaker 1: and I need to get better at talking to Him
- 28:55Speaker 1: in my good times. Yeah, you gotta just say it randomly,
- 28:58Speaker 1: like right now, thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus. Bryce.
- 29:01Speaker 1: I'm also in like church also, thank you guy. Um.
- 29:05Speaker 1: But I'm also sometimes i'd be in spiritual limbo because
- 29:08Speaker 1: like church messed me up as far as the politics
- 29:10Speaker 1: behind it and as far as like it didn't feel
- 29:14Speaker 1: like a spiritual place anymore. And then I don't know
- 29:17Speaker 1: if I want to be Christian or Muslim. You know
- 29:19Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's a real thing. I need to
- 29:21Speaker 1: do my research. But right now I am in spiritual limbo.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I know I believe in a higher power. I believe
- 29:28Speaker 1: spiritual it is. That's the right term, religious limbo, because
- 29:30Speaker 1: my spirit isn't. I'm in tune. But yeah, I really
- 29:34Speaker 1: need to work on it too. Do you go to
- 29:35Speaker 1: church at Allston? No, I don't go to church anymore.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Can you call it church? Can you say birch? I'm
- 29:41Speaker 1: just trying to. I don't know, I'm just trying to.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I'm not the homies. It was funny about me. I
- 29:45Speaker 1: don't like cold Switch until I get around the homies
- 29:48Speaker 1: friend of hood. Then I started replacing all the letters.
- 29:50Speaker 1: I turned into super blood. But when I be out,
- 29:52Speaker 1: I don't do that shit, and I don't be I
- 29:55Speaker 1: don't know how they do it so good. They can
- 29:57Speaker 1: replace any letter or like off top. Yeah, I gotta
- 29:59Speaker 1: be I got to think about that ship before and
- 30:01Speaker 1: some of it is blasphemths like you cannot say Jesus
- 30:03Speaker 1: Bryce the homies will though no yea they wow. Well
- 30:11Speaker 1: say earlier when you said either thinking about where you
- 30:14Speaker 1: feel like you should be or where you want to
- 30:16Speaker 1: where it's supposed to be, or where you want to be,
- 30:17Speaker 1: where is that the biggest rapper in the world? Um
- 30:20Speaker 1: So that's I know, comparison is like a thief of joy,
- 30:23Speaker 1: but it's hard, you know what I'm saying. I'm in
- 30:24Speaker 1: a music industry, so I know it's about the value
- 30:28Speaker 1: is based off accolades and like streams and stuff like that.
- 30:31Speaker 1: So yeah, when I see Dot the biggest rapper being
- 30:34Speaker 1: from my neighborhood, It's like, Okay, I want to be
- 30:36Speaker 1: that plus more. When I'm signing the Eminem, I don't
- 30:38Speaker 1: just want to be somebody signing Eminem. I want to
- 30:41Speaker 1: be bigger than Eminem. You know what I'm saying. It's
- 30:42Speaker 1: I'm competitive still at the end of the day. So
- 30:45Speaker 1: the competitive nature in me sometimes stops me from being present,
- 30:48Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, even though I'm grateful, Like
- 30:50Speaker 1: I know It's a lot of people would die to
- 30:52Speaker 1: be in my position. And I know I got a
- 30:54Speaker 1: super fan base that I should that I'm grateful for.
- 30:57Speaker 1: But it's hard, you know what I'm saying. You know,
- 30:59Speaker 1: it was a great about artists like yourself and Kindrick.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I feel like y'all shattering all stereotypes of what a
- 31:04Speaker 1: West Coast artist is supposed to be, you know, because
- 31:09Speaker 1: back in my day, it was the low riders and
- 31:11Speaker 1: the khaki pants and then Converse and all of that
- 31:15Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Like do you think about stuff like that? Oh? Yeah,
- 31:18Speaker 1: you know something. I used to get frustrated because it
- 31:21Speaker 1: felt like I had to get the love outside of
- 31:23Speaker 1: LA first, before LA gaming I love just because I
- 31:25Speaker 1: wasn't making traditional LA music, and then they had to
- 31:29Speaker 1: catch on like, oh we can fuck with this. He
- 31:31Speaker 1: represents us in a good way and I love I
- 31:33Speaker 1: love my home. But that's just reality. It's hard because
- 31:37Speaker 1: now we got like it's like I can't explain the
- 31:41Speaker 1: time when with our music in LA but it's just
- 31:43Speaker 1: not what I make, you know what I'm saying. So
- 31:45Speaker 1: I get it. On the song stuff you talk about
- 31:47Speaker 1: how much you do love your hood and going back,
- 31:49Speaker 1: but sometimes people will tell you it's hard because people
- 31:52Speaker 1: are jealous. Things could be dangerous when you go back.
- 31:54Speaker 1: What's that balanced like for you? I did with survivor's
- 31:57Speaker 1: guilt all the time. I don't. I go to my
- 32:00Speaker 1: neighborhood when I don't even have to, and then I
- 32:03Speaker 1: forced myself into stuff I don't have to, like conversations
- 32:05Speaker 1: I shouldn't have no part dealing with. And that's just
- 32:07Speaker 1: because sometimes I feel like I'm reaping the benefits a
- 32:11Speaker 1: gang banging when I don't have to deal with the
- 32:13Speaker 1: kinds of it. I could go home. Why they gotta
- 32:15Speaker 1: still live in the hood when I know the industry like,
- 32:17Speaker 1: oh here blood, let's give him more streams. That's how
- 32:19Speaker 1: I feel, you know what I'm saying. I know sometimes
- 32:22Speaker 1: when I put on the red band and I get
- 32:23Speaker 1: more clicks, and so that makes me feel guilty because like, yeah,
- 32:27Speaker 1: I don't have to do that, you know what I'm saying.
- 32:29Speaker 1: So survivor's guilt is a real thing. And I love
- 32:31Speaker 1: my neighborhood, but I know I can't take them everywhere.
- 32:33Speaker 1: It's like it's a hundred of them, one hundreds of them,
- 32:36Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's also like you
- 32:38Speaker 1: being inspired by Kendrick and that could push you, and
- 32:41Speaker 1: then there's kids looking at you that are inspired by
- 32:43Speaker 1: seeing you make it. And I also feel like sometimes
- 32:46Speaker 1: when you make it and you're able to financially help
- 32:49Speaker 1: other people, that's a benefit too. Yeah, the financial part
- 32:53Speaker 1: is tough though, because like I got a kid, I
- 32:56Speaker 1: gotta look out for first. I got people that I'm
- 32:59Speaker 1: with every every day that I got to look out for.
- 33:02Speaker 1: And it's just like if I create a culture where
- 33:04Speaker 1: I just give everybody money, just like you know, that's
- 33:06Speaker 1: when you create a foundation, and maybe it's a scholarship
- 33:09Speaker 1: thing that you do, you know annually, certain things that
- 33:12Speaker 1: you could do. It's not like you got to help
- 33:13Speaker 1: everybody and just give money. A way, but I think
- 33:15Speaker 1: I do think there's a way to go about it. Right.
- 33:18Speaker 1: My homies usually just be like I gotta give a
- 33:21Speaker 1: verse to a lot of the homie and that part
- 33:25Speaker 1: so hard to say. No, that's the tough part, because
- 33:27Speaker 1: they like, you got this platform, why you're not doing
- 33:29Speaker 1: this for me? But they understand how draining that is
- 33:31Speaker 1: and also how I got to think of my brand
- 33:33Speaker 1: if I like saturated too much about giving so many verses,
- 33:36Speaker 1: it don't hold the same weight. So sometimes they don't
- 33:39Speaker 1: understand that, and that's when I feel guilty because it's
- 33:41Speaker 1: like then I got to play the game like management said,
- 33:43Speaker 1: I can't. I can't drop this. And time is money too,
- 33:46Speaker 1: when people have to respect the fact that you're working
- 33:49Speaker 1: all the time and you do have to get compensated
- 33:51Speaker 1: and I'm not trapping, like this is how I eat,
- 33:53Speaker 1: And sometimes they don't understand that, Like it's all I got,
- 33:56Speaker 1: So me just giving your verses like crazy, when you
- 33:59Speaker 1: talk about gangbanging, it isn't gag banging, just one aspect
- 34:02Speaker 1: of being in the gang. Or you could be in
- 34:03Speaker 1: a gang and never have bang, right, Yeah, I'm just
- 34:06Speaker 1: from I'm just a game member. I don't consider myself
- 34:09Speaker 1: a game banger because I'm not the one in my
- 34:11Speaker 1: hood that's you know on that time I go over
- 34:14Speaker 1: there and I'm like either the rapper or I'm trying
- 34:17Speaker 1: to tell the homies different stuff about why they don't
- 34:19Speaker 1: got to do this. So I never tried to like
- 34:21Speaker 1: fight somebody, you know what I'm saying. It's nothing to
- 34:23Speaker 1: catch or fade, but yeah, it is different aspects of it.
- 34:25Speaker 1: We got homies like we just look at for advice
- 34:28Speaker 1: like the older homies, but we got homies who go
- 34:30Speaker 1: go take that trip, who were get in that car
- 34:32Speaker 1: and go do what they gotta do. So it is
- 34:34Speaker 1: different levels of it, but it's still fall under the
- 34:36Speaker 1: same umbrella. Yeah, and it's messed up because when you're
- 34:38Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, like looking at a place
- 34:41Speaker 1: like you know, La, and you hear people say they're
- 34:44Speaker 1: from certain places like Compton, Wi, Twitter, you just automatically
- 34:47Speaker 1: assume they're in again. Yeah, And I did like a
- 34:51Speaker 1: survey and like LA lay trying to see if everybody
- 34:53Speaker 1: knew I was a blood because I thought I did
- 34:55Speaker 1: so good at hiden it in my brain and like
- 34:57Speaker 1: finding balance, and I didn't think I ever glorified. And
- 35:00Speaker 1: I was like, when you first thinking me, what do
- 35:01Speaker 1: you think of? It was like blood? And I was like,
- 35:03Speaker 1: what blood? Who came up to? That is how much
- 35:11Speaker 1: Greek gangs different from other criminals such as organized crime groups,
- 35:16Speaker 1: motorcycle gangs, ideology groups in priving games? What the hell?
- 35:20Speaker 1: Yeah it is different gangs. The police LA is the
- 35:22Speaker 1: really the biggest gang. But yeah, yeah that's true. Um
- 35:27Speaker 1: I saw you saying an ig caption. I told myself,
- 35:30Speaker 1: I'm gonna start celebrating all my sins. Wins we do.
- 35:38Speaker 1: But by the way, we do celebrate a lot of
- 35:40Speaker 1: our sins. We said, all my wins. So I'm proud
- 35:43Speaker 1: of you. Boogie. How much is a positive self self
- 35:45Speaker 1: talk helped you? I was capping on the Instagram post,
- 35:49Speaker 1: I don't want to sound because I ain't gonna lie.
- 35:52Speaker 1: It's not I said. I was like, I always say
- 35:54Speaker 1: I'm gonna do stuff, but the execution is always a
- 35:56Speaker 1: hard part. So I haven't really been hyping myself up.
- 36:00Speaker 1: I said I'm gonna do even since my album came out.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I ain't even sat down and be like, oh, but
- 36:04Speaker 1: be proud of yourself because then, like, I'm already back
- 36:07Speaker 1: in the studio trying to compete already. Are you doing
- 36:11Speaker 1: a deluxe album? Yeah, but I'm also trying to drop
- 36:14Speaker 1: work on a project to drop right after that, So
- 36:17Speaker 1: my brain is kind of like all over there. So
- 36:19Speaker 1: you don't give you so positive self talk. I haven't.
- 36:22Speaker 1: I'm gonna start start. I promise I'm gonna start. That's
- 36:24Speaker 1: a way to come back to the anxiety, because you know,
- 36:26Speaker 1: the anxiety will tell you that whatever could go wrong
- 36:29Speaker 1: will go wrong. Anxiety you have you out here like
- 36:31Speaker 1: chicken a little the sky has fallen, so it is
- 36:32Speaker 1: good to give yourself that positive self. My anxiety is crazy.
- 36:36Speaker 1: It happens. Trust me, I did with it every day,
- 36:38Speaker 1: I tell y'all. And I know I gotta post on Instagram.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Why is that sh the comments? If you at people
- 36:44Speaker 1: like I opened myself up, it's like I opened up
- 36:46Speaker 1: the floodgates. And I also never replied to nobody on Instagram,
- 36:49Speaker 1: you like, it's I'm all, it's like an exercise. It's
- 36:52Speaker 1: of me having to be the bigger person every time
- 36:55Speaker 1: I post on Instagram. And it's just like I don't
- 36:57Speaker 1: want to have to go to that exercise every time.
- 36:59Speaker 1: And you really don't tweet either, Nah. They told me
- 37:01Speaker 1: to start tweeting worrow. It used to be like a
- 37:03Speaker 1: good tweeter. You know what I'm saying. I'm pretty good,
- 37:05Speaker 1: I'm pretty funny. But it's just like it's not good
- 37:07Speaker 1: for your mental health. Man. It's hard. It's hard, but
- 37:10Speaker 1: I ain't know, bitch, I'm about to get back on
- 37:11Speaker 1: it because I'm not gonna let y'all punk me up.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Social What about vacations. Do you go on vacation. I've
- 37:16Speaker 1: never been on a vacation everever. Nope. I went to
- 37:19Speaker 1: my manager birthday last year, the dr, but I ended
- 37:22Speaker 1: up stopping arguments between drum and other people. But I said,
- 37:27Speaker 1: dr name, I'm so funny. Shout out my boy drum.
- 37:29Speaker 1: He's doing an album too. That's my boy, Shelley Shell.
- 37:32Speaker 1: That's my brother. The name Shelley. Now he changed the
- 37:35Speaker 1: name Shelley Shelley FKA Drum. Still say it's drum on
- 37:41Speaker 1: your album it says Shelley FKA Drum. No, it did not.
- 37:44Speaker 1: On title it said just feature Shelly Man. Look, let
- 37:48Speaker 1: me see tim push ups ups. Let me see how
- 37:54Speaker 1: the West Side they did that? What's up? Let me
- 37:59Speaker 1: get to tell out of that ten King King cho
- 38:07Speaker 1: one two? Are you doing him right? For five? Six
- 38:17Speaker 1: nine ten? I write good money, good money, good money,
- 38:20Speaker 1: good money, nicely and you hired to you just I
- 38:25Speaker 1: literally hate losing that stuff. So listen, what about a
- 38:28Speaker 1: vacation though, I think maybe it's time for that, and
- 38:30Speaker 1: you can take your son going. He gonna piss me
- 38:33Speaker 1: off in the first he could stay home. I need
- 38:37Speaker 1: a vacation from him. Too, but you should. Yeah. So,
- 38:41Speaker 1: but I ain't got no joint I want to bring
- 38:42Speaker 1: right now. You never went on vacation with your ex. Nah,
- 38:45Speaker 1: that's probably another reason flew around real quickly for Hawaii
- 38:51Speaker 1: right there. I know, man, I'll be torn. I'm I was.
- 38:54Speaker 1: I'm a like starving artist, bro, I'm you know what
- 38:57Speaker 1: I'm saying. Sometimes I feel like I don't got the
- 38:59Speaker 1: lecture even on to afford the vacation. You could probably
- 39:01Speaker 1: get a free vacation too on me just finesse it. No, yeah,
- 39:04Speaker 1: you definitely couldn't be like we just need to do
- 39:06Speaker 1: a post. Yeah. I just start figuring out I could
- 39:08Speaker 1: do that. In La it was a bowling alley and
- 39:10Speaker 1: I used my name and they let me in and
- 39:12Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, I could finesse my name.
- 39:14Speaker 1: You definitely could get a resort to comp that, and
- 39:16Speaker 1: they just you know, and yeah, yeah, we definitely could
- 39:19Speaker 1: set that up. What made you want to put Soldier Boy?
- 39:22Speaker 1: Can't even lie because you got Soldier actually rapping. I
- 39:25Speaker 1: was trying to be funny at first in the studio
- 39:26Speaker 1: with the homies, I was like, Yo, this give me
- 39:28Speaker 1: Soldier Boy energy. I was just with my producers. Then
- 39:31Speaker 1: I text my manager like the idea. I'm like, I
- 39:33Speaker 1: know this sound crazy, but what if. Then he told
- 39:36Speaker 1: me Soldier Boy price and we paid we got the verse. Wow,
- 39:39Speaker 1: bad you give that boy that, Brad, you get it.
- 39:41Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, money talk. Shout out to
- 39:43Speaker 1: Big Soldier because he gave me a good verse and
- 39:45Speaker 1: I'm happy for that. Yeah, he's rapping. You got actually rapping.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Shout out to Big Soldier bomped and Soldier Boy. All right,
- 39:51Speaker 1: Oh y'all claim his bombay man, it's whatever he say
- 39:56Speaker 1: that too. That we talked about price because I saw
- 39:59Speaker 1: the other day NBA Young Boy Game was talking about
- 40:01Speaker 1: well Whack was talking about it and Game was talking
- 40:03Speaker 1: about it. But getting charged to do a verse. That's
- 40:05Speaker 1: not offensive, right when you know you deserve a certain
- 40:09Speaker 1: price too. Yeah, everybody got to eat. Sometimes it'd be swap,
- 40:13Speaker 1: but it only it got to be beneficial. Everybody don't
- 40:16Speaker 1: want to do a swap because they ain't going your
- 40:17Speaker 1: VERSI of their project. They just want some bread. Yeah,
- 40:20Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I get it. Snoop, I'm
- 40:22Speaker 1: sure that that felt like a writer passage in a way.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Right to get Snoop on Did I love Snoop because
- 40:28Speaker 1: he's so accessible to all the like good LA artists
- 40:31Speaker 1: or even like as long as you like passionate about it,
- 40:34Speaker 1: you could find a way to get to Snoop And
- 40:36Speaker 1: I d M him and he gave me two verses
- 40:38Speaker 1: like in two days and I appreciate Big Snoop and
- 40:42Speaker 1: he got on your wave with this album. He's talking
- 40:44Speaker 1: about meditation and everything. Yeah, Big Snoop side of Tall
- 40:49Speaker 1: windows down, window rolled down, Yep, I don't even know
- 40:51Speaker 1: the name of the Windows down smokes too much weed.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Do you respond as your fans when they hit you up,
- 40:57Speaker 1: because I'm sure you've influenced a lot of them because
- 40:59Speaker 1: you've been so open about everything you've gone through and
- 41:02Speaker 1: therapy and how you're trying to heal. Yeah, I do
- 41:05Speaker 1: reply as much as I can. Um, it's just hard, though.
- 41:08Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna start going on a lot more
- 41:10Speaker 1: to have like conversations with them, to be more like
- 41:12Speaker 1: intimate with them, because they did wait a long time
- 41:15Speaker 1: for me to drop an album, and I don't want
- 41:16Speaker 1: to just disappear like off into the abyss. So I'm
- 41:19Speaker 1: gonna try to do better at talking to them. You
- 41:21Speaker 1: say you're working on your next album. If your next album,
- 41:24Speaker 1: you know, if if the gods are telling you a man,
- 41:27Speaker 1: continue to talk about what it is you're talking about,

- 41:40Speaker 1: fight it. Why man, if it's real, it's real, I'm conditioning, bro,
- 41:46Speaker 1: I'm from a name, I'm from a gang. I'm like,
- 41:50Speaker 1: I don't know's I said one thing, I'm about to
- 41:52Speaker 1: make it something. It's layered and I'm from a gang
- 41:54Speaker 1: and then it ended. But it's just hard. I don't know.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Why can't you do both? Why can't you say, Hey,
- 41:58Speaker 1: if the spirit moves you to write a record like this,
- 42:00Speaker 1: right it if moving to right recor this dude? If
- 42:01Speaker 1: you if you want to do it the same song,
- 42:03Speaker 1: why not, I'm just choosing to be ignorant. I'm gonna
- 42:05Speaker 1: do it. Man, I'm gonna keep talking about I know
- 42:07Speaker 1: the responsibility I got now. Um not just that I
- 42:10Speaker 1: spoke on therapy. This is the fact that I'm aware. Um,
- 42:13Speaker 1: so I gotta move better and I'm always gonna move better.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Well hopefully I am. And well, listen, we're all the
- 42:17Speaker 1: perfect balance of ratchetness and righteousness blood at you know
- 42:21Speaker 1: what I mean. Did any of the girls stopped talking
- 42:22Speaker 1: to you from your birthday party the other night? Yeah?
- 42:25Speaker 1: I just tried to say hi to all of them
- 42:26Speaker 1: the next day and it's over. I really, my roster's done.
- 42:29Speaker 1: For roster right now? Is gonna even make it more worse?
- 42:34Speaker 1: How many of you had bro No, it wasn't like that.
- 42:37Speaker 1: It was like, like, like, because the hard part is right,
- 42:40Speaker 1: people try to wait it out to see to the end,
- 42:41Speaker 1: like who's leaving with him? I know? And that's what
- 42:43Speaker 1: the crazy part, because girls started hanging around. Let me
- 42:45Speaker 1: tell you. I got home that night, right, so I
- 42:47Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna be smart and this and not
- 42:49Speaker 1: go home with none of these bitches. You know what
- 42:50Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm so sorry, see perfect balance. Apologize because
- 42:56Speaker 1: that wasn't cool at all. You're working progress, but um,
- 42:58Speaker 1: these women and I got home and one of them
- 43:00Speaker 1: was sitting in my room at four in the morning
- 43:02Speaker 1: waiting to catch me up with another girl, and I like,
- 43:05Speaker 1: one of the most scariest things, And I was like,
- 43:06Speaker 1: you can't really, you can't play with these people feelings.
- 43:08Speaker 1: How get your room. I left my door unlocked like
- 43:11Speaker 1: an idiot, and people like some people know all be
- 43:14Speaker 1: leaving my door unlocked because I'm just be being lazy.
- 43:16Speaker 1: So she knew that, and she was in my room
- 43:18Speaker 1: waiting for me. But it was like seven girls there,
- 43:20Speaker 1: but none of them is my girlfriends. So I don't
- 43:21Speaker 1: know why he was acting like that. You have a
- 43:24Speaker 1: name like the Westside Boogears or no, man, I don't.
- 43:26Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not proud of this. She had to
- 43:31Speaker 1: go home because like she was. She told me I
- 43:34Speaker 1: was being disrespectful. She was just like, why would you
- 43:37Speaker 1: invite me if you're gonna have these other girls there?
- 43:39Speaker 1: Blah blah this, And I said, I actually didn't invite you.
- 43:42Speaker 1: My assistern invited you. I didn't know you was coming.
- 43:45Speaker 1: And I also felt like I didn't hug on none
- 43:47Speaker 1: of them at the party. I stayed around the homies.
- 43:50Speaker 1: So it was just her intuition. Because some other dude
- 43:52Speaker 1: text me after the party, some singer. He was like,
- 43:54Speaker 1: I just want to let you know you a pimp,
- 43:56Speaker 1: and I'm just like, how I didn't talk to none
- 43:58Speaker 1: of them girls. I was up there see you all
- 44:00Speaker 1: girls texting you. It ain't no way. You're still a
- 44:01Speaker 1: bitch ass nigga and you being tetry. See man, I
- 44:06Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, ain't gonna make some much saying
- 44:08Speaker 1: that that was a bad idea. It was because there's
- 44:11Speaker 1: no because if you invite a girl like your assistant,
- 44:13Speaker 1: does they think that they're the one that's coming. That's
- 44:16Speaker 1: why they got invited. Like OK, but just say that.
- 44:20Speaker 1: But if we never had no conversation before that about
- 44:22Speaker 1: us being a relationship, right, just about it being exclusive,
- 44:26Speaker 1: about none of that, your expectations, like you can't put
- 44:30Speaker 1: that on me, then I got to deal with the
- 44:31Speaker 1: guilt after because of your expectations. That's crazy too. So
- 44:33Speaker 1: you wouldn't have been mad if they would have talked
- 44:35Speaker 1: to somebody else at the party, since you guys, dang,
- 44:37Speaker 1: I would have been pissed because it works because I
- 44:40Speaker 1: actually did that drunk shit. I remember saying one of
- 44:42Speaker 1: the things to one of the girls, like you bet
- 44:44Speaker 1: I do no dumb shit up here? Yeah I was.
- 44:46Speaker 1: I was being toxic now I think about it. Your therapists,
- 44:49Speaker 1: I'm sure to talk to you about choices or boichus.
- 44:52Speaker 1: I don't know how you would pronounce that right, but
- 44:54Speaker 1: you got to replace two season that. Yes, but you
- 44:56Speaker 1: made a choice, so those girls would have cut up
- 44:58Speaker 1: in that party, I would have been your fault. It
- 45:00Speaker 1: is my fault. Why no, no, no, no no, you
- 45:05Speaker 1: all that energy in your life. You're right. I didn't
- 45:09Speaker 1: invite all of them, though my assistant invited like majority
- 45:12Speaker 1: of them. Why would they do that? You knew who
- 45:14Speaker 1: was invited though you know it was on the list.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Now I didn't. I didn't know who was on that list.
- 45:18Speaker 1: I just pulled up to It was a party for me.
- 45:20Speaker 1: I didn't pay attention to RSVP. I just let my
- 45:22Speaker 1: assistant do her thing, you know what I'm saying. And
- 45:24Speaker 1: so now I'm starting to realize that line was probably
- 45:27Speaker 1: based on a true story. A woman actually told you
- 45:30Speaker 1: that all this stuff is real. That's came from a
- 45:32Speaker 1: real thing. That definitely came from a real woman that
- 45:34Speaker 1: said that not hurt specifically, but a real experience. And
- 45:37Speaker 1: there's no judgment for you now when you date right
- 45:39Speaker 1: like you said that, you don't want to have to
- 45:40Speaker 1: pass judgment on these women based off their past or
- 45:43Speaker 1: things that they've done. Yeah, I don't judge. I don't judge.
- 45:46Speaker 1: I just can't talk to women who dated my peers.
- 45:49Speaker 1: Not like I judge them because because of that, but
- 45:52Speaker 1: I just don't want to like, you know what I'm saying,
- 45:54Speaker 1: you dated Jid or like sme, no niggas I got
- 45:56Speaker 1: to see all the time. I don't. I'm cool. Yeah,
- 45:58Speaker 1: you can't wipe you. I can't wipe. But what's dated?
- 46:01Speaker 1: Like what if they just if the homies hit I'm cool?
- 46:04Speaker 1: Do you ask those questions? Do you ask her? If
- 46:07Speaker 1: they just had kind of asked the homies, I'd be like,
- 46:09Speaker 1: have you dated any rappers? That's my question? What if
- 46:12Speaker 1: they just had FaceTime conversations that never FaceTime conversation, nottime conversation.
- 46:18Speaker 1: But if somebody smacked or like you know what I'm saying,
- 46:20Speaker 1: or you game head, or what if he just gave
- 46:22Speaker 1: her head munch um, that's funny, that's cool. I ain't
- 46:27Speaker 1: gonna problem. Yeah, I got a problem with that. I
- 46:30Speaker 1: don't know. That's kind of wow. Bro, your homie be like, yo,
- 46:32Speaker 1: you know, I ht your girl out, You're right then
- 46:35Speaker 1: passing you to blunt. That is kind of crazy. Actually, yeah,
