And then it just came from my grandma on some, like, she used to call me jittery. So when I was on some rap shit, I was like, all right, I'm going to figure out this rap name.

I don't want to be my real name. Let me use some real shit to me, like, my family nickname. And then I just broke it down like that. It wasn't going to be J-I-D-D because the crowd got to be like J-I-D. Yeah. I went with my little process to get there. Do you be throwing off now? Are you in the city or random people call you by your government?

Yeah, hell, hell, yeah. Because even, like, when I'm front, you're going to call me Montgomery. It'd be like my last name because I played football. I was going to get into that. You know what I'm saying? So they just called me a little root, you know what I'm saying? You play football? Play football.

I was going to full of sky shit. It's just a rapper body, bro. It's the weed rapper body. And I still, I'm still a guy. I'm still a scrape. You probably are forced to be reckoned with. I'm saying, a force is crazy. That's crazy.

A force to be right with me. Oh, that's crazy. Come on. We've got company, bro. Listen, so what position did you play? Like, Kona, nickel,

kick return, point return. Look at them. Okay. Okay. Oh, me. Oh, me. I thought it's a real college,

Nick. Yeah. Yeah. You put this on. Everybody hate that. I got kicked out my senior year. So, my junior year.

Oh, okay. But, yeah, yeah, a name was great, bro. I did feel. Oh, no. Shout out to the Lennius then. And it's eight. football, your first love?

Football by my first love. Okay. For sure, for sure. Like, that was a, yeah, I ain't even think I was going to rap, you know what I'm saying? Until, like, later years of my life. Like, after I got kicked out of school, I was like, damn, what am I doing? And I did the stereotypical nigger thing. Hey, it's a lot.

Get this funny, because we just had Davey, so he said, the same thing. He said, I ain't know I was going to be a rapper, but I had the pivot. But I was Fido, I always, you know, we always, as black men, we all freestyled at some point about. I hate the stereotypes but you know it like in some scenario you just kicked it you chilling woo

but I was actually fired this and I kept that in my back pocket in my whole life I always like study rap I always like just the grace

you know what I'm saying in music I want to say rap I always just say music period because my family like super musical and out of that

what's it speaking to everybody having a verse I got to be here come on classic on YouTube oh yeah let a clap

look at his hat though jead we build the remix right now all five He got the A-HAT. He's gone. I don't know what you was doing in 2011. I was in the booth for real.

I was in the boo. I cried so you can run. Hey, come on, Langer. Come on, man. You hard. I love that you got the little clip. I love the fact that the E.J. Bob was iffy every time.

That's hilarious. Oh, that's post-E-N-J. You recorded that after the last trip. I said, let's get to it. Engineer, K-Ward. Come from my mic cup. Oh, my God. Turn me.

Turned them down. What did you know, though, that you was like one of them ones, though, or when you felt like you could make it? It probably was like, and I was big on writing, period. You know what I'm saying? Outside of songs and all that. Like, I was just writing, but I feel like I wrote a song one time and went to record it.

It's probably not even out, but just the room, you know what I'm saying? When you need sessions, sometimes, you with your homeboys, you with the engineer, you would, sometimes you may not know the internet, you just with your folks and stuff, but the reaction from the room of the song, I'm like, oh, I'm in the right direction, you know what I'm saying? I seen how my home buzz looked at me. It wasn't like no niggas.

It's going to be like, oh, boy, it's fire regardless. These niggas are goddamn. Boy, it's trash. Like, it's real. Yeah. So being around, like, having a good community of folks, like, that letting me know, like, I was in the right direction. And I just remember that specific moment of that studio session, you think?

Gotcha. Like, in Atlanta, we, you know, when I lived there, I listen to the beats more. But, like, you're lyrical. Yeah. Would you always, like, a lyrical rapper? Would you, like, at one time of them, like, now I guess Metro kind of brung it back. Yeah.

That's super, you know, that I don't even know what they call it. Futuristic, bro. That was me, young L.A., all them dudes. That's when I was in Atlanta. It was a vibe. But for you, when I listen to you, it's like lyrics. And I'm like, damn, it kind of gives me that vibe. Obviously, you signed with J.O., you was with Cole and them.

But it gave me that vibe, like, East Coast, all that kind of vibe. Was that always your stuff? Yeah, for sure. On some, like, I think, like, T.I, like, outcast, Gemma, like, my, you know what I'm saying? That's the pinnacle for me. Like, as far as they're storytelling, I'd be listening to still ain't forgave myself by Tia. Oh, that's what I'm sure. Like, top of Tia song.

You know what I'm saying? Those type of stories being told from the perspective of, you know what I'm saying, young black man from Atlanta. I'm like, oh, I can adapt this, you know what I'm saying? I can really still tell a story and still be who I am, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm from where I'm from. Yeah. You can still have that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, weight to it, that density to it.

And the outcasts himself being like aliens and all of that. It was always just like, okay, you can be one. Me and got to, like, follow the trends. But also, I did have, everybody had to air. I'm a big shirt rapping. I'm, I'm, I'm, swaggy, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I was on that too.

But I wasn't an actual rapper. I'm just in the time being a team with my friends and we rapping, like how the rap was rapping, you know what I'm saying? So I always, you know what I'm saying? It's always going to seem like, oh, no, he, he, he, from Atlanta. Yeah, but it's just a different take on it. Nah, you know what somebody from Atlanta.

You got the accent for sure. Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah. Fuck talking about, man. Yeah, you got the accent for sure for sure. And it's crazy because at one point, obviously, all of us growing up, bro, when the movie A.T.O. came out, bro, we all wanted to be from Atlanta. And, like, and then the music was following you guys. You want to be from that.

You want to be from that. I want to be a skate dance thing, guys. I was, I was, I'm going to get scared. I did want to go to Cascade now That's what it is You wanted to go to Cascade. I wanted to go to Catern't I'd be a skating ass nigga for show

I've been out of Roshan I need to keep my chain back Hey you know what's so crazy about that movie I ain't never going to be mad for my girl rich That's a blessing Yeah he was more so mad that she lied though bro Yeah Well I like the boss

Can't trust these holes bro Why he broke it down No Hey hold on it's morals You know I wish Y'all, hey, lie to me. If you rich, lie to me, fan.

Well, we come from, a lot of girls we, they don't have nobody. We thought T.I. was tripping in no phone. Shannon Showed, there ain't no problem. That's that exact moment, bro. Okay. That was a vibe for sure. Well, what was that like, man, that moment for, like, the world to really be, like, fixated on y'all, especially with the music scene growing to growing.

Y'all damn were, like, the capital of music. Yeah. It was hard, like, you know what I'm saying? And being from Atlanta, bro, it's so much pride behind it because it's such a black city. You know what I'm saying? Like my whole life, bro, I grew up around our black folks. I went to HBCU. You know what I'm saying?

Most white people I've interacted with probably like right now, like with my fans and stuff like that. And it's, it was a culture shock. But at this point, it's like, okay, like this is the world. We like 13, 14% of the population. But being from Atlanta, every day you can see the gut, the mayor, you know what I'm saying, down to a junkie on the corner. Everybody's just black, you know what I'm saying, from top to the bottom. I don't want to skip ahead.

What's it like at your show? You see that white dude who front row know all your lyrics front of back. Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy because I literally like, I'd be talking about just like, even if it's coming out of lyrical, all I'd be talking about, just like black plight,

these shit, my stories, my scenario. So to see like it resonate with different people of cultures, I'm like, I, this hard, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm not really like trauma dump and I'm really just giving you a goddamn picture. You know what I'm saying? Let you see it how you see it type of shit. So it's cool.

I'm cool with that. I ain't too like, long as I ain't like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

And within, like, my album dropped August of 22 that year. within the first eight months it was platinum the song specifically it did billboard charts all that then we toured in 23 at the end of tour when the holidays rolled around it was like uh i want to say the philippines it was a little uh asian guy put his phone in the ceiling they did like some it was cool it was some kiddie stuff they did like a circle it was a classroom they was dancing and stuff then a couple months later december hit in the south africa some on the know who the catalyst was. I don't know who the girl was, but she did it first. Put her phone in the ceiling, shook that ass. Clean. And she changed the whole ecosystem. It was crazy.

It was crazy. And it just from then on, it just flew out. You know what I'm saying? It went crazy. Even the song to song bigger than me sometimes. Sometimes, like, you may know the sign. You might not even know with me, but. That goes. Knowing that came from Nigeria.

The motherland, I only can do that. The real cheeks. Yeah, no, that was crazy. It is crazy. Everybody, when you hear that sound, somebody like, he's freaky as hell, but That is freaking. That is freaking mic. As soon as you hear that sound, you look at the dude, like, what are you watching, bro?

It's crazy how that shit can turn you up, though. How do you feel like about the power of social media? You can't really control it. You just got to, you know what I'm saying? If you're going to be on social media, you got to play into it or whatever. But it's too powerful. You can't beat it. You know what I'm saying?

You just got to fall into the line. It's like the Y, Y, Y, West, you got to understand that. Yeah. So when that just took a whole, like, it was great on my side. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm a young man. I'm a man. My parents.

Yeah. It was still, it was a thing. The song is so far, and it's got nothing to do with that. So it was like, Mom, I didn't make this for this. That's what made you so crazy. That's what I was talking earlier. It's really about just being, like,

You mean like, Jill, my mind went straight to like, I mean, like ankle braces on men? Like an ice style ankle brace. Oh, man?

Are you a big sneaker head? I fought with. I fuck with fashion, so yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, all right, so sneakers is fashion. You can be high and whatever they're like. So, yeah, yeah, I say yeah.

I'm talking to circles. No, you're good. I'm saying what's something of your go-to? Like, are you a J? You were Airmax or you would... I'm going threes. Is it a performance? Not to perform in.

Performing, I might go some boots. I don't want to fuck up my shoes, you know what I'm saying? You were performing in boots? I perform in some ricks. Okay. Or some, you know what I'm saying? Something like that with that little. better when the more you mess them up but i ain't gonna do like my jays or none like not not no a

one's none of the own like performing and shit like that because i like wearing them like on a casual okay got you got you got you okay yeah i always think people rappers performing refus ones you different bro yeah you got slay feet when you get done with them sure that why they begin them is just throwing them away and shit like that ain't just you know what I'm saying a boy on tour say we's keeping that money in there for sure no no you got to got keep all the money in for tour so you can run it because this shit it's a it's a it's a investment for real yeah you know what I'm saying the headline artist front everything buses trailers staff hotels everybody I ain't know that what's the hardest part about

touring though because we just did our little bullshit three-legged tour I mean boys was tired once you get into the motion of it like oh bro we're doing 30s these dates so once you get into the motion Jesus you win it because I've been doing it for a minute like I've been touring like this how you really make your money as artists yeah it's not like you can make it from your money music you can be if you take this you know what I'm saying if you're the highest highest you're gonna see some whatever whatever but if you're still like in that in between almost a star button star whatever it starts with goddamn um brand deals there we go merch and then like touring

and it's other little ways you can make but those ways are like very known and it's look at a way to get, like, bread. But touring, like, as the headline artist, front of everybody. I mean, you front everything. Okay. Hopefully, those tickets all sell out and the merch blow out. And then you do meet and greets. You make money off that.

That's another stream of revenue. But, yeah, it just be a lot of different things to goddamn cross off before you make some bread. So what's your meeting greets look like then? Because we've seen Chris Browns. And we've seen boosies. Yeah, for sure. It's amazing, bro.

It's amazing. It's amazing. It's some black people there. It's a lot of white people there. They get kind of crazy. Like somebody that wanted to be in Greece proposed in front of me. My whole proposal, it was insane. They pulled up. He needs to be pulling up a costume on my birthday on Halloween.

So they'd be like, showing me, it'd be kind of crazy. You know what I'm saying? Man. Not Chris Brown level, though. He's a legend. Chris Brown. Even the Boosie. That would be his fire at the Boosey meeting Chris is insane. Yeah, what?

Boosey me and Greece is not. When he hopped on Shorty back, I was like, Bousie crazy. I was like, you crazy, bro. He's a legend, bro. For sure. For sure. God, boy, that's my job. What's a city that doesn't surprise you, though, that you didn't think, you know what I mean?

You were popping and they show hell of love. It'd be like, I say out the country. Because I know, like, America, like, is going to be lit, whatever, whatever's trending in cuckoo, but we go over there. these that don't speak your language first and they're saying all the words and then they're trying to communicate with you outside of that and it's just like chop you can't have like

that's the best thing. That's crazy. You know what I'm saying? You can't even speak English but you're rapping these words. That's crazy. That'd be the craziest of it all. You know what I appreciate that part of the show. I was going to ask you now what you had a lot of your own tour now. What was it like you know what I'm saying? Being on tour

being on tour as a guest for somebody else and now like you said you'd hear Han Show got everybody shout to you know, they're one of my favorites as well. What's it like now? Yeah, one in the ones. What's like you know what you said? having all those responsibilities and having to go out there and do your set every night?

It comes with it. You know what I'm saying? It's what it is for a real for it. It's just like y'all like y'all hooping, bro. You feel me? Everybody on the road, every day, whatever.

I don't know the whole process, but I know like it's the same set of things. You just got to make sure you stay on top of it as far as like, how would I was claiming? Like, I don't know. It's just kind of taking care of yourself. Not even kind of.

You have to take care of yourself. Every night is damn there like a party. You know what I'm saying? It's like you bringing the party in a toolbox. to another city every single night. You are the entertainment. You have to make this thing. So it's like, usually I wake up, show day, I try to work out.

We got in so early this morning I couldn't really work out to offset the night before getting lit and all of that. That's how I'd be trying to like balance it a little bit. But for the most part, it'd be like take care of yourself. Make sure the crew and everybody, you know what I'm saying? Good hotels. Y'all ate, woo. And then so they can do their jobs.

And then it's me like putting on the best show I could Because I know the open I know everybody's going before me Like knew these special guests And then we got two openers I know they're gonna kill it You know what I'm saying So I ain't even really worried about the artist But for the most part it's just making sure

You know crew morale like That's what I was saying like we might need to go hoop Like I was thinking about that We need to go hook Get the vibes up You know what I'm saying? Get the vibes up Because it'd be lit every night But at the same time, nigs away from home

Yeah Yeah kids and all that stuff So it'd be a whole little process Yeah that's one to ask you say you own 36 days. I imagine there ain't too much days in between y'all get to leave but go back to your family

is y'all like living literally on the road for two months at a time especially like you said people got kids, girls, wives family, all the above. I know that's a lot draining mentally and so I have to go do your job.

Yeah. It is, it is, it is. With me, I just brought my little one, you know what I'm saying? Oh, wow. Brought Shonda and my little one on the road for like a week or so. Me too, he was terrorizing everybody.

I was smoking all the blasts. Yeah. But it was a good. good time like so stuff like that being like blessing up the brain like family on the road but the most part it's definitely taxing because you ain't going to see things for much you can miss holidays birthdays yeah events whatever I'm ready you're ready you ready I'm ready you ready to miss it hit the roll I'm ready so that next leg in March I'll be ready I'm ready to say y'all should push up you know saying sacrifice my family

for the tour life for the tour life ready to go to the next one. Three weekends in a row? And I was cooked. We had a week for a five days in the road. Hey, he's played back and back to the NBA. That's great in here. Now, what's that like, bro?

What's that process? Like, but go ahead. The NBA easier than that, though, like, because we get to go home at the game almost. You got a road trip. The worst is like you got like an 18 day road trip. Okay. Now, that could be bad, but that's what you do.

Yeah, that's 18. Like, we messed up for 18 days. Like, day 16, everybody. It gets like that at the last week of tour, I would say. But also, it'd be so far because every night, these people are super excited to see you, bro. It's energy out of the roof. Niggas is drunk. Niggas is high.

Niggas is sober. It's people crying. Titties being signed. It's people mosh pitting. Bro, it was last night, bro. I can show you the video. Dude. I got to get on tour.

I think I was born like on the side of the road and they took us to the hospital because my mom was punking and she had me on Halloween

so they went to hospital Wow but after being on the side of the road it was crazy you would You went through a lot You had to be a

You got to be a You got to be a store You had to be a store It was dude It was dude For my nigga to be a store It was dude, bro I was on the side row

For show That's crazy That's crazy. That's right here You got to have A crazy Halloween Party I mean I know you tour

Right now Yeah I ain't You know it's crazy It's in a couple days I don't think I'm doing I might stay here For real

Because we go to Iowa next Damn I was I'm just I'm My mom Hold on, Jim. I ain't going to do that.

We're going to do that. We rocked wild. I don't know what we sold out of Iowa. We sold out of Iowa. I'm mad because I used to do a Halloween party. Legendary. I used to be crazy bonds for the Halloween parties. That's crazy.

And this one, I missed it. This the year I ain't know. Yeah. He fucked up the last one. Yeah, he messed up the last one. Yeah. The last party. Yeah.

No, but I'm still decided if I'm going to just rock out here or just, you know what I'm. because flying back home, bro, that's going to take me out of, like, this zone of me, you know what I'm saying? Like, I got to stay on the road until I can leave it, or I'm just bringing forward. Well, if you're willing to go out, bro,

I'll find you something to get into it. Yeah, I'm sure. We got you, bro. That'll be hard. That'll be hard. I'm sure. It ain't got to be done crazy. I really just go to the studio.

Y'all know the studio. I really rock out because I'm working on stuff. Oh, yeah. I don't know. If y'all can't rap. You all in a rap? Hey, look, are we doing it? I need a remit.

Come on. J boys, bro. We go out. Hey, hey. Come on, bro. That's snap. I can fire the studio. We can get in that one-fucking.

Y'all ain't got no rappers from Indiana. Yeah. We got some. Yeah. I'll give you a couple of shit. I know it's on. I ain't trying to hate. I was just, I was just, I was.

Shout to Maxie. Shott to Fox. Debo. My little brother, Leena, baby. It's a few. Okay, hard, hard, hard. I'm going to check them out.

I ain't going to hold you. Yeah, we got, we got, like, more of an underground scene in the city that's this is. getting to that point, but we got some people been around doing that thing for a long time. But you know, we follow, when, because rap always been so regional

and the fact that it's not like a prominent, like, name, name from this area, that opened up the door for it. You know what I'm saying? Because when niggas pop out from different areas, nigs want to know y'all lingo, nigs want to know who you are type of shit.

So if somebody do it the right way, it's going to hit in a different type of way. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I mean a lot. But especially like in Atlanta, I think that's what's so dope about your city

is that like the sounds and the time you can always put name and faces to the airs and stuff and the energy behind it but like just for you to have your own lane and like what was that like for you rapping with Eminem bro? Yeah.

You sure were hard. You had Atlanta nigga with Eminemps. You had an Atlanta nigga with Eminem. That's crazy. It was crazy and that song we did that shit a couple. Well, we got two records. The one recently was just like a cold plunge

like you listen to it once. You're like, okay, I got it. But the first song that we did together was super special because I didn't expect the call I thought it was kind of kept when he hit me was like hey

in one of a verse you know what I'm saying the person I that said it was respectable but at the same time I'm like I ain't speak to him like you know what I'm saying the whole collaborative thing

that come with artists to artists type shit so I eventually got a beat and I just rap to them and then I sent it back to him and a couple years later that bitch just came out

damn we had conversations and stuff prior to it but it came out I heard this verse after mom was already laid type of shit and I was like

oh this actually kind of legendary you know what I'm saying this is how it is on this level work and I don't know it's just cool bro because that was like

somebody I looked up to look up to to this day on some like legendary story like rap shit that's interesting you say that because I heard

I often say that bodies was maybe like a year or too old but when you hear that shit that sound like y'all just went

to booth and spent that shit bro music it could be it could come out in a week or it could be years bro

it just depends on like the facility of these. It depends on how that shit gets put together. It depends on the producer agreements and the artists, the labels. There's so much little shit that goes into one song going out, or even

not even to mention like a body of work, like a full album, shit like that. We did that song in Hung Zau China game. Wow. We had a festival in Hung Zau China and we did that shit in a hotel room. Damn. Made some tweaks on it afterwards, but that's where it was like conceived that. That's crazy. I can't believe music

take that long to come out. Two years? It could be for sure. Did you forget about it though when you did that version of him? Yeah. For sure, for show, for show, for show. And I don't even think I really liked it at the time. I heard it because as an artist, like, every day you're growing.

You think it's better, better. Like, you're trying to practice to get better. So at the time, I'm like, damn, I could have gave him something a little harder. But it turned out like that shit did good. You know what I'm saying? She did billboard. All the little things you want your music to do when you drop something. Or being a part of like a nigga album.

So that shit did well. And that's just been the case of, you know, I don't know. Just in case of how that shit is, like, when you, when this shit kind of meant to be. Is there anybody else you want to work with that you haven't worked with before? Just like the biggest, niggins. Maybe like, like, hold, you know what I'm saying? I love Jay.

Um. Producer, too. I would be crazy. Producer, me and Metro got some shit. We've been working. That's an interesting I love working with. Shout to Bro. Shout to Metro.

We was in St. Louis last night. Who else? Hit Boy. I fought with hit boy. But that ain't nothing. I could just. of a car. Yeah.

But I do want to work with him. Alchemist. You and Alchemist will be, yeah, that would be a hub of a class. I was on a song produced by him on Freddy album. Yeah. Alfredo, too. That shit, I was on there.

And that was like, but also me and Alchemist got some shit that I need the goddamn shit put out. But it ain't out to the world. So he's just like my wish list type shit. Hey, bro. He went the hardest working people I've seen on Earth, bro. He got a project out every other month.

And that shit is fired too. Every time. Bro, James, bro. How many songs you got sitting in the chamber, man? no I'm loaded I kind of got them be on some overthinks shit sometimes so I got a lot of shit that you know what I'm saying that be the bullshit right there as an artist

I ain't gonna lie I keep making shit yeah I fuck with you I'm gonna ran out I don't like it when y'all don't put the shit out what be the reason bro like your art is your art I get it but I'm like us is just fans or just music

like in the attention span is so low but I'd be feeling like When y'all holding on albums, it'd be like, or a song, I'd be like, you got, like, at least a whole album to be raw if you just dropped it today. Yeah, that'd be, uh, I don't know, the overthinking thing is an artist, bro, that shit just come with the territory sometimes, bro. Yeah. It comes with the territory. And I don't, I don't even know how to equate that. How would I equate that, like, to, like, a sports was a name?

Like, what would be an over, I don't even know. Oh, that's like not shooting the ball. They go, you can go get 30. Like, I want to practice that. That sounds so bad when you put it like. That's right. You can't have the $0.45, but you always want to 12. I'm going to sit your ass down if you ain't going to shoot the ball.

What I got you out there for if you ain't going to shoot? Damn, y'all just aren't. They're going to clip for them. It's right here. Every artist, bro, shoot the ball, bro. Yeah. Shoot the ball, bro. No, but I'm just trying to think, like, how y'all think of songs, bro?

Like, it's some people, like you said, you probably got, what, 100, 200, 300, songs? Probably more than that. That they got more than that, but. Come on. Like, how, bro? How y'all? the songs.

I would have been around. They suck. You know, since she could suck sometimes. Because as an artist, you're throwing paint it a while. You don't paint where it ain't.

So sometimes it probably ain't up the part. Sometimes not that confident in it. Or sometimes you just, it'd be a, it's a plethora of things, bro.

I'm just saying like the concept in the park. Oh, you're just saying maybe the actual song. Like, oh, I hit the beat, boom, boom, boom. And then I got to spit a bar to that. And like,

you're not recycled nothing. Yeah. Yeah. That shit is just, it's repetition. Well, I've been recycling how they said the same bar. 50 times.

Grand Rose, Wyatt wrestling. There's no way, bro. I don't remember. What? Ain't way, bro. And the fact that you remember to perform

because you'd be rapping, rapping, too. Yeah. No. It's the gift. It's a gift. And then just,

like, harnessing in on that shit, bro. It's not like no regular shit. Like, I know everybody can write. They say everybody can rap. No, they cannot. It's a certain level.

It's levels to everything in life. His vibes. He ain't, niggas. You know what I'm saying? It's 47 U football right now. That's me. It's all the levels and shit.

It's all for the shoot. Nah, that shit is so impressive. Now, if you're talking about the league. You go tap in. They got the 40-100. What's up? Everybody includes.

It's just all-inclusive now. You know what I'm saying? Everybody gets a chance to do this on, bro. They got to go to work. They're risking it for five yards. Now, how do you know what to put out, though? team you know what I'm saying it comes within a team and then if I feel super confident about some of them like I'm gonna put it out type of shit all right um that's really all bro it goes to how you feel near team and then of course like when I say team I'm thinking like management blah blah blah that's like more the closer internal team and then you got the label and stuff like that now the label they dictate certain things but they bottom line is make money so if you want to put some product out you get that shit out unless it's just like not fine that's that's a case-by-case

in there it just depends on like a person perspective like this would be my question two of the rappers answer honestly bro how do you feel about people getting help with they pin um ghost rider and stuff yeah raping specifically rap not giving you a hook saying gee i wrote this little bar for you put it in there or i give you four bars so you're gonna take my four boys, if they fire or you're going to hate on me and say, no, I'm on it. Me?

Keep it real, Jim. I've been in sessions where a nigger, like, I have a verse going, and it ain't finished. You know what I'm saying? And then a nigger would say like, hey, you should, da-da-da-da. I might try it and change. I try it just to like,

all right, okay, I'm changing that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know. Music happen in so many different ways, bro. You can't really like shit on the idea. If niggas in the room, if you're in a room full of trusted goddamn, you know what I'm saying? Trust it. Right. You might can use that part.

That ain't a nigga writing for you. Yeah. That ain't a nigga right for you. A nigga with a quick little, you know what I'm saying? Singer, right quick. That a fit right there. That ain't a nigga right for you. That's just, that's studio vibes.

A nigga goddamn giving you the whole layout. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Hey, then, oh, no, say it like this. Ah, oh, ooh. Hey, I like this. This is how I said. That's, that's right.

Pleasure is out. Flagler. Yeah. But, no, Alon, I'm going to say, no, that's cool. Okay. So if I'd be like,

bounce that ass like your friend do, and you put that in your shit, do we write it together? Shout out to belly. You might get a little pub. I just want to know my position. That's where you go. And then you go.

Because I think that up with that. Because you did up another thing. Now, I just for real, I always like, because everybody's perspective with that it's different. Yeah, the chat GBT rap is not probably

having for lots of them. Because I know R&B singers get treated different than rappers and I always kind of want us to know like, wow, what does it matter if the song is fire? Yeah, I'm a songfire, dude. Your song fire is fire. Yeah, I don't care. That's the bottom line for it.

That really only thing that matter for it. If the music hard, then she good. Okay. I want to ask you this question. I always ask performers. What's more fun, making the music or actually going on those stage and performing it? It's kind of both for real, bro.

It's just different things, you know what I'm saying? The creation process in itself is like, once you get it down, like, you feeling the vibe, you got them got the right production, da-da-da-da, the words coming to you good. That's like something you really can't compare to anything. It's kind of like the best feeling ever when you just feel like, oh, I nailed this, you know what I'm saying? I know a couple songs that I've, a lot of the songs that I put out, like, I felt like, oh, shit, okay, this is fucking great, like, let's roll. But being on stage also and seeing people.

people let those words that you wrote in that session take up their mental space and they know these words and waiting for you to perform it and phone it at the mouth for you to say this next line that shit like that connection right there that's what the world is about they say art like uh what was the thing say art paints something in music paints time or some shit like that i can't think about what art paints some life our paint's life in his pants time some shit like that i just read that shit this morning and i was like damn that's kind of like jeans as hell you know what i'm saying uh i don't know i don't know i'm i'm just rap I just imagine like i mean you know say we got

some for instance rappers just watching them cook on say it's like watch somebody drop 30 like everybody's crazy bro it's the energy there 50 bro yeah but i only want to diminish like dude hanging off the rafters bro with a beer in his hand up that's a 50 ball yeah That's a 50 bar, bro. Like, this nigga had the time of his fucking, like, made it home safely. I suppose, like, that shit's great. Yes, he did. For the little purposes, he went home.

He got that video going to know where he went, but he went home. What did it say? But sure. You found the mic? Yeah. Okay, where we at with it? About the blondeest. All right.

Shout to the production team. Damn, that's a bar. That's what it is. Shout to Boschia. Boschia. Yeah, yeah. I read that shit. I like that.

I always do that shit, but I definitely remember the intention. how you like how you do my rap you made you interpret that how i would be here trying be an AI rapper that's what he gets to right now you're about to be retibbling my boy tour don't sound too bad with you god damn it push up man come on the vibes is off bro I just can't believe they go for a whole they don't go home bro you see how I was after we left Atlanta like boys were six dude we had five days off bro in between came home chilling like, niggas talking about going out.
