May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. audience is that they feel seen. or wherever you get your podcasts. ["Southbound"]

For sure man, listen, we all, you know what I'm saying, we a little bit older than you, we all grew up in like the prime, not play prime, but like the certainties to like, the South, especially like New Orleans music. Who influenced you early on in the city? Loane, of course. Yeah, that's one of our goats. We got a couple of local rappers.

I know people don't know, but like Flame Game, Flow, Nino Calvin, I was on them, heavy, like C4 Trill, BMG Pound, that's probably it, like for real. I don't know too many like niggas from New Orleans who I actually like, I used to listen to. Besides them. What made you pick up a mic? Just going through a lot of shit.

You know what I'm saying, like my whole life. I had, I really was in a dark place at the time. I was inside on a house where the shit can't go outside. My partner, I had to be inside at like nine at night. My partner used to be in the studio. So he would pull up, come get me, we'll go to the studio. I'd go back inside and shit. So one day he was making a song, I'm like, man, this shit trash.

He like, man, you make something. And I'm the one like, I'm the one really from the project. I'm the one like, you know what I'm saying? I'm the real one in my friend group. That's like the real trench one. So I wound up saying the real, like, and it was my life for real. He like, man, this shit sound crazy.

And everybody come back like, nigga, you hard. So we did just kept going from that. All that kept going. What year was that? That was in 2020. Oh damn. Damn, that shit happened fast. That shit in 2020. Oh damn. Damn, that shit happened fast.

That shit happened fast. I made a song called Vulture Island in 2021. Nah, that's that shit. You feel me? That was one year after I started rapping. You started rapping during COVID. Yeah. Damn.

So what's that like then? Like if you said you started rapping in COVID one year, that one year, you really just showing your friend up. Really like, nigga, you trash, nigga. I can rap for real. Not even trying, and then to get on a record, Vulture Island, and then have Virtual Island 2, and you, I'm looking on YouTube the other day,

you got 50 million views. Not a face though. Like what's that like a one year to have that kind of momentum? I don't know, but I always knew I was gonna like make it doing something like that's all I know. You know what I'm saying? And I wanted to try to do everything.

It was never, this was never my end all be all. This was some shit I was just trying right quick. Nothing like you will get your CDL right quick. Do it for three months, now you wanna go work at so, you know what I'm saying? That's what this rap shit was for me. If it ain't work out quick, I was gonna just move on to the next shit.

I don't wanna move around too much, but obviously doing the due diligence stuff, I saw it, you know what I'm saying? Like you were invested, like you got a lot of different things you worked in, like you said, into that industry also, some other stuff, out of rap. What's some of the things you are interested in,

and stuff you'd like to invest in? I've been buying houses. I've been working on my clothing brand. We're supposed to be doing like an event for fashion week and stuff like that. I seen you with that Tommy Hill figure, you. Yeah. Yeah.

I got some artists, I got some producers. I got a cologne that I've been working on. I definitely peeped that. What's the name of the cologne, man? Cimetal. Okay. What else I got? You gonnaologne, man? Cimento. Okay. What else I got? You gonna send us something?

I just bought a hookah lounge. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, you got it right up here. Yeah, yeah. Oh, see, let's bet. That's what we doing. Mombukes. Say less, Mombukes.

We was gonna do the shots of Mombukes. We got one of the best hookah lounges in New Orleans right now. It's called The Nest. Like, I'm not just saying this to say this, I'll show you. I'm just rid of that, so. And I'll show you. I'm just really that, so. And I own 100%, it's not mine, I ain't got no partner or nothing, like,

going all the way in, so. I ain't gonna lie, I've been doing a lot of this stuff that like, it's really like, it's really like, risk for real, you know what I'm saying? But everything is a risk, everything is like, it could be an epic fail, like epic succession, like. Yeah, you only gonna find off, you take the risk. You feel me, Chav.

Chances make, champions baby, for sure. And that's what happened, for real. All right man, the verse fought a bond, there's nothing wrong with it. Be here man, you said before the rap career, man, we learned some mission facts, man, you know what I'm saying? You went to school? Yeah, what up?

Yeah, I went to school. Nursing school. Yeah, nah, see, y'all gotta stop that. I was about to say, I seen the movie, I can't think of my name. You went to college? Who went to college? I went to college.

Y'all know what a prereq is? Yeah. I would still do my prereqs. So when people say nurse school, I'd be like, come on man, like, don't give me that much credit. Like, you know what I'm saying? I ain't even passed my prereq for real. But I had, I really went to the army first.

I went to the army, I went to the army straight out college, straight out high school to get, to go to college. Cause I knew my mama wasn't gonna pay for it or nothing. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna be in debt with fast money or nothing like that. So I'm like, man, fuck it, I'll go through this, whatever. So I wound up doing that. I went to school and I actually started rapping like,

like the, like I used to be making songs in my dorm, like right before COVID and they kicked us out of the dorm. And that's when I actually started rapping. Then we got to go back and I just dropped out. I'm like, fuck it. Raps started working a little so. You was at Southern, right? Yeah, I was at Southern.

How was that vibe on campus? I love Southern, man. I had wind up, I ain't had nowhere to stay at, so I was really sleeping on my sleeping in my apartment dorm float. Cause I had wind up losing my apartment and shit like that. He out there, I was sleeping in their dorm. Like, you know in the dorm when we got the common area, outside everybody's room, this thing was dirty,

it was a motherfucker, I was just sleeping in there every night. I would get a cover or something, go put my shit on. That's crazy that that happened like that for me. We know it's dope though, they still with you. And I was before that, so you know, that's family. You ain't, there ain't no new niggas, they been around. Nah, they're my niggas for sure.

And I'm like, to think like that, cause I remember that I went to college and I had the moments, I ain't sleep where you at the commons area, I had a dorm, but had the moments. I ain't sleep where you at the commons area. I had a dorm, but to see those moments and then to see where you at now, you go on stage and it's. If you imagine that, like you can imagine it because you know what a common area is.

In the dorm room, like in the B-discs, like man, hell nah. Nah, that's what I'm saying. Like if I would have seen you and I walked by, what this nigga doing? And then a couple of years later, I'm like probably at your concert, like I what I'm saying. Like if I would've seen you and I walked by, I'm like, what this nigga doing? And then a couple years later, I'm like probably at your concert, like, I wouldn't be believing,

that's the nigga that was sleeping on the door. Yeah, that's crazy. And that's exactly how life went. Yeah. When was that time that you like felt like you finally made it though? I don't. I never did.

I never, I still don't right now. We got so much more to go to, it's 2% of a hundred. Yeah. Yeah. For real talk. You know, it's funny when they ask me, they're like, I still don't right now. We got so much more to go, it's 2% of 100. Yeah. Yeah. Real talk. You know it's funny when they ask me, like, man, you want to do it? Probably got to do it.

I'm like, man, like they want me to? Like, I don't want to go there if they really don't want me though. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. So you probably don't remember, you did a concert here and you came, that's when I was like, we was like, we was like, and we fucked that nigga,

you came like you was late. You remember? And you still came. It was like people was leaving, you was like fuck it, I'm late. I'm still gonna pull up. And they ran back in when they heard your voice. We was there, we was standing right there.

We like, you was actually, obviously you was rushing. So we was like, man, we gonna get this nigga attention. We fucked with his music, we gonna holla at him. But you came on stage, we stayed there. They was like, he on his way. He coming, he pulling up. We like, shit, we ain't gonna leave. We gonna wait till Broggy don't stay.

We gotta see what Brog talk about. We fucked with it. It was a crazy day, because that's the first day we linked with Skillet too. So we was like, oh yeah, we gonna get all, that's crazy. That's when I knew you was the one though. Because this is a tough city, bro.

And they get shitty when artists don't pull up. So when they found out, they like, damn we done waited on Rob. As soon as you came out doing your shit, they was running, sprinting back to get that out. Like damn, he a real one was still pulling up bro. Still pulling up. Straight up.

I wish I would have been there for me, cause I was so scared to come here. Because I'd be wanting to feel wanted in places I go. I'm sorry. I just love, bro. I don't wanna go out and fuck with them, fuck with them for real. Like hell yeah, they fuck with you.

I'm like, let's do it then. We do it tonight. Corrilla with the beating on doing it tonight, I'm like, man, I'm just gonna go back to my hotel, because I don't know, I'll be thinking niggas don't really fuck with a nigga like that. Shit. Nah, bro.

Nigga, my wife fuck with you. I tell her, like, what you about to do? She's like, what the hell? I said, hey, chill out, bro. Hey, chill out, baby. I'm doing too much now. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying, bro.

I'm at the game, you know what I'm saying? They had you court side, I seen the energy. I'm like, hey, we don't even be too familiar with people outside the city. So for the pace, it's a show love, for the apparel. Come on, man. I ain't lie, I wasn't be too familiar with people outside the city. So for the patients to show love, for the apparel, come on man. I wasn't expecting that brother. That was crazy to me. Yeah.

Like because it wasn't just, it just looked like that on social media. It was like that in the arena, everybody like, oh shit, I'm like. Yeah bro. Y'all know me in there motherfucker? You know when you do the, let's go. They was in there the whole thing, I'm saying,

what the hell is. Yeah, that's hard. I'm like, what the hell? Yeah. Like that was crazy to me, bro. Yeah, that's hard. Yeah, you see the pic right there, like I'm about to cut some jersey, man.

I'm mad as hell because I told him, take my picture again, go all the way down. Go all the way down. Cook out. Go zoom in way down. Cook out. Go zoom in. Zoom into my feet. Your feet? Zoom into my feet, gang.

Anytime Mike laughs before we- You see what I'm saying? He got my- I said, brother. He got my phone in my lap. He got my phone in my lap. That's what I'm like. You know how Meek Mill told him French fries?

You got that? Oh, hell no. I gotta get that again. I'm playing the guy that's not the pissiest of the four. Is that the one they posted? I'm like, this nigga hates me. You know, if you try to get that cookout plate, make sure you don't too. You know what?

I'm sad the whole time. I had to put my phone in my mama's. I'm like, hold my phone, bro. I look like a shitter. We got a special interest today to work. First of all, hold on. Niggas is out of pocket. Niggas is late to work.

And they got their own walk-in. All right, where is this nigga at, man? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Hey, man. Man, where the fuck can get that basketball? Oh, nigga, that's my basketball. Is that the championship basketball? Oh my God. Brian Pumphrey, Travis Hunter, and Ashley Foote.

Let's go. At point forward. For the Indiana Patriots. My boy came in with a bonafide headband. First time I've ever seen a basketball. I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck?

I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck?

I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what the fuck? Here we go. At point forward. For the Indiana Pacers. What up? What up? My boy came in with a bonafide headband. First of all, he got, he do got the ball collector headband

with the dude right. Shout out to BC. Ball collector. And not before Christ. Real BC. Yo, man, what the fuck? Where the fuck you get that jersey from? Shout out to my people at Diggs.

Fuck, that's what that is. Had to get my boy Mous, I lost a bet. Oh, he got the matching socks too. Oh, the jersey socks is wicked. Yeah, bro. It's a jersey socks. The jersey socks high-pitched. Shout out to them. So Mous, this is for you, bro. The Jersey size. High P.

cause I seen B. Swift tag you. He said, pay with your way. I didn't know he was going to show up like this man. Yeah man, this shit cost, but I mean, shout out to a good old person. He brought some fresh white ones with him. Oh, but he need some white shorts. I've never seen white shorts.

Well, shout out to my guy at Diggs. He helped me get Diggs, but I forgot your name, buddy. Right off of putting this together, me and my stylist for the day. The personal shopper at Diggs is crazy. He does, bro. You know what's crazy when I walked in though? He was like, you always coming here,

but I know what you're coming for. The pastry shit is over there. Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, so he directed me to it. I said, I need a mouse jersey. You got me right, bro. That's what's up, man. Shout out to the white headband though, man.

Yeah, who's that? It's a good dude got a white headband. This is a part of the bed as well, man. Shout out to my accessories, bro. I fuck with it, I fuck with it. Shout out to be here, man. Man, I hit his right pan, hit his dead. It's AAU season, I want to ask,

how y'all feel about the state of summer basketball? Cause it's so crazy now, that you got more famous kids in AAU than people actually going to the league or like going D1. What's it like? I know you pull up to every event. I know you've been live with it as a coach. How do you like keep your kids' heads like,

okay, I know this is summer basketball. I know it's lit. I know it's amazing, but stay locked the fucking in. I love it. I was a AAU kid growing up, so I played AAU. I love it and I know that AAU is where you get recruited for real, for real. You're gonna play high level talent. You're gonna play people the same size as you if you 6'8", 6'10", whatever it is.

I love it. The only thing that I hate about AAU basketball is that for Indiana high school basketball, it don't translate because we don't got shot clocks and all that shit or whatever. But I love it though. I love seeing these kids be able to go out there, be entertaining, be stars, like build you a brand because now in college you gotta be a brand. Max. So if you can learn how to do that early, at an early age in high school, you still gotta put in the work.

That's the part I don't get like people become famous and they don't put in the work. And not to discredit Mikey Williams or nothing. He playing for my dog, Mike Bibby at Sacramento State. Shout out to Mikey Williams, hope he get everything going. But to have that much fame and not live up to it right now, you know, cause he going there, even though he got into some trouble and shit or whatever,

but that's the kind of shit that can happen cause you got so much fame. Like you start feeling yourself a little more and you feel invincible. It's like being in the NBA at a young age because when you're in the NBA, you feel invincible. Like nothing can go wrong. Can't nobody fuck with me.

Can't nobody do nothing. And that's when you get into that shit. And if you're getting that at a high school age, it's tough because a lot of shit going wrong at high school. Especially now you got these kids getting bags in high school, like real, real bags. It's tough, there's a lot of shit going on in high school. Especially now, you got these kids getting bags in high school, like real, real bags. It's different now. Yeah.

That's why LeBron say keep the main thing the main thing. That's a fact. That's his main reason for even saying that. Yeah, that's a fact. You can live and die by that. I like it though, cause the kids really, a lot of kids don't really get to showcase they real skills in it.

Cause to me, school ball, it's not wack, but it's a different brand of basketball. Especially when you're the star on the team, like, and there's a bunch of other stars around you, it's kind of hard. So to see these kids get their own AU team and rock out. I'm talking about the kids that work hard, not the- Yeah, we ain't talking about the bullshit obviously.

Yeah, I fuck with it for that though. And I credit it even for you, cause like obviously it was cold, but like in high school, like Pike was loaded. You know what I'm saying? You played team ball, you did what you're supposed to do, but like, hey, you got to show like, I'm not gonna talk with you for that though. And I credit even for you, because obviously it was cold, but in high school, Pike was loaded. You know what I'm saying? You played team ball, you did what you're supposed to do, but you gotta show, I'm really this, I can show my full arsenal.

Yeah, AAU is a place where you show your true game. At high school, it's too... System. I ain't gonna say system, because some people let you hoop. Like my senior year, I got to hoop. You know what I mean? But it's like a pe I got to hoop. You know what I mean? But it's like a pecking order kinda.

You know what I mean? So if you play AAU and you getting off at 15U, you doing your thing, you showing your skillset, you might go to your high school and it's gonna be a dude that plays 17, senior or whatever. You might not get that same love. People know you cold, but you might not be able to get to do

all the shit you do in AAU and your 15-year team. Because this dude's 18, and he might play 17-year, EYBL, you play 15. It's a difference. So you know it's a pecking order in high school, regular high school basketball. But AAU is just where you get to show your real, true self. You playing at eight in the morning,

it ain't no practices, it ain't no scout reports. Crazy. It's just hooping, just seeing who just got raw game. But a lot of it don't translate, that's why the coldest people in AAU, they don't be that good in college. Structure. Structure, scouting reports, force them left,

force them right. That's why it also matters where you choose to go to the next level too though. But it also matters what you play high school basketball. Because if you play AAU and you code, right, and then you go to high school basketball and the team let you do whatever you want to do. We got the best player in the world.

And he get to just shoot, fade away threes, he can do whatever the fuck he want. They lose, it don't matter. It's a highlight for this kid. When he go to college, college coaches, they gonna tell you everything you wanna hear to get you there. Once you get there, they don't give a fuck.

Some people recruit kids just so they don't gotta go against them. You know what I mean? Fouls. So then when you get there and it's like, well you knew how I played. Well, we thought we could mold you, we can't mold you, fuck it, it's over, you lost a year.

And everybody hit that transfer portal and all that shit. Now your career didn't start off on a rocky road because you ain't had no discipline from your high school coach. Hey, you, you never gonna get that discipline. It ain't enough time. Everybody gotta hold you accountable. Y'all play at eight in the morning.

You play for a team that's based out of California. You live in Utah or you live in Indiana. Your team based out of Indiana. You live in Cleveland. You ain't coming to no practice. You pulling up to the games, play, do your shit and leave. Now that's for sure. Ain't nobody really giving them nothing wins or losses.

No. It's hard average at 30, though, on high school and having to go to college on average four. That could be a long- That's what's truly gonna happen, because your coach let you do whatever. That's why, and not to even speak on pipe, but that's why we try to simulate college atmosphere

and simulate like, hey, you gotta learn how to play with other good people and do all this stuff, because when you get to college, you ain't getting 20 shots. Yeah, it's quiet. Because if it's a senior or a junior or now a 25 year old who been doing this for six years that's cold. You ain't about to come in as a freshman and get 20 shots.

And I know he get paid 1.2 million. He's definitely getting 20 shots. Ain't no way you check right from his touches. Let's be realistic. Out today. Nah for sure man, hey you season kicking off man. Can't wait to pull some of them bits man. Yeah we gonna be out loud today.

You see the crowd to our, what's our new segment about to be called in the morning show? On the rise. On the rise man. So I'll show these young our new segment about to be called in the morning show? On The Rise. On The Rise, man. So I'll show these young people some love, man. It's a lot of talent out here, it needs some exposure. We gonna do our best and make sure everybody see it

for sure. All right, man, we told y'all one more time before we get out of here, 517, 520, they pull up back now. Man, look at this nigga. Going crazy, you know what I'm saying? B hand, tap in. I told y'all bro, DeAndre Hunter,

Brian Pumper, Travis Hunter, faces the floor. You know the fucking vibes, get the brooms out. I did want to say one more thing before we leave. Say it bro. So, I'm just husband's name. You talking about she has a husband? Yeah, yeah, he's the father of her two youngest

who she did all the tests with. Oh, he said. I told you, look, you pull the tests with. She was looking for her. I told you, look, you're gonna lock it in. Fuck it. I ain't trying to go. You are a fucking loser. Tyrell, Tyrell, the one I was talking about.

Tyrell Parker, his nickname is Mr. Pretty toenails. Mr. Pretty toenails. And on that note, we will be getting the fuck out of here. I was gonna say something, But we would have got cancer. No, go ahead. No, fuck that. No, no, no, no. He's clearly a pimp, y'all.

He's clearly a pimp. They got married in a purple suit. He got a purple suit. Oh, he's gangster. Mr. Pretty Toner. Mr. Pretty Toner. Yeah, he's pimp. I feel like he might be the reason she's not sure.

Why we said a prostitute is crazy. She probably just likes to fuck, baby. He might be the reason she's not. Barbi said a prostitute is crazy. She probably just likes to fuck beef. He might be the reason she's not sure. That's not no fun in that. When you living that life. Live the life you wanna live. We getting the fuck out of here. We're here now.

Barbi, you on the road, go ahead. Yeah, Barbi telling them them to fuck one nigga 17 times opposed to telling the girl to fuck 17 niggas. I mean, shit. Yeah, I'm gonna encourage that too. Like, not really you fuck one nigga too many times. I mean, no, we do, of course, but I'm saying a lot of girls love Choo Choo's, bro.

All right, well, we out here. No, no, we here. We're here to keep talking. What are we doing? Now it's time for the Try Train. Yeah, we doing? Now it's time for the track train. Sorry about that. Yeah, she is. She's time for the train, man.
