Club Shay Shay - GloRilla

Episode Date: April 3, 2024

GloRilla brings her vibrant energy to Club Shay Shay, discussing her latest hit song and her journey from Memphis to the music industry limelight. She opens up about her new album, navigating the balance between confidence and self-consciousness, and the influence of Yo Gotti's mentorship on her career trajectory after signing to his Memphis based label, CMG. GloRilla shares candidly about the pressure and overthinking that comes with releasing new music, but also the liberating feeling of letting go of expectations and doing things for the approval of herself rather than others. In a hilarious moment, she convinces Shannon to try wine for the first time, adding a touch of spontaneity to the conversation. GloRilla reflects on how haters fuel her determination and reveals her strategy for handling criticism with the support of friends and family. From Michael Jackson to Katt Williams, GloRilla dives into the commercial expectations of the entertainment industry while sharing anecdotes about meeting LeBron James and her admiration for Kobe Bryant. She candidly discusses her love for the Pittsburgh Steelers and why Shannon was once an opp of hers, the ideal first date, and her unique family dynamics, including her supposed cousins Lil Uzi Vert, Cardi B, and Tiger Woods. GloRilla’s upbringing with 10 siblings was much different than most, and she dives into her mother’s extremely religious background and why she was never allowed to have friends over as a child. From her Top 5 rappers of all time to who she wants to collab most with in the music industry, GloRilla shares all of her feelings for the music industry. From her failed experiment as a weed dealer to working numerous odd jobs to becoming one of the hottest names in the rap game, GloRilla's journey is filled with humor, heart, and a raw authenticity that shines through in every story she shares on this episode of Club Shay Shay. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

streets on the internet tell me what you're thinking what's your thought process in doing yeah glow um so basically yeah glow is like um me talking to myself. Like, there was a song, actually, me showing my self-love and amping myself up. You know what I'm saying? And because, you know, like, we all go through stuff as artists and stuff. And, you know, we all got dark times and stuff. So, Yeah, Glow was like a hype song for myself. But it turned out to be a hype song for everybody. Everybody.

Glow, you feel me yeah yeah and so yes so did you did you forget who you were i didn't forget who i was um it's just like okay so you know like i'm this shot got me kind of poked up okay so i didn't forget who i was right you know i'm saying i forgot yeah who the fuck i am like sometimes certain shit can get to you yeah like we all go through that like i got tough skin at the end of the day but shit'll get to you and so like i forgot like bitch you gramming on me the hoe you doing this like all that type shit so it was just me hopping myself back up letting myself know i'm that bitch because you i think sometimes people look at us because we're entertainers we're celebrities we

make money we do this where people know who we are they forget that we're human and after a while it starts coming with such with such an avalanche feel right it can start to wear on you and you like hold on man damn this i want a i want to say something back or i want to hey get on get on somebody's platform and cut somebody out so i can understand what you're feeling and what you're talking about is that the way you was kind of feeling yeah and then you know me i i don't respond a lot on the internet so i just read to put it in my music okay and that was just it what what you just said what you gonna put it in? My music. What that is? Music?

That's right. It would take so much for me to say it right. I can say it right, but it would take so much. So that's a Memphis thing? Mm-hmm. We tend to put R's in words to get you in the middle. Oh, music. Mm-hmm.

And Cuban. Yep. So have you always been like that? So this has been this way since you were a little girl? How we talk? Yeah. Go to Memphis. You're going to see everybody talk just like me.

Wow. So when you started in this business, did they try to get you to change like how you talk? Because, I mean, obviously, like different languages you can say and it sounds the same. But the way you talk and the way you sing and where it sounds is entirely. How are you able to do that? So like you feel like I'm country. Like a corn cob and I. But it's good. I'm from rural South Georgia, so I'm like that also. Yeah.

And I went to, like, when I first got in television, I went to classes. I went to speech pathologists, and I went to everybody trying to change. But at the end of the day, I was about to change who I am. Mm-hmm. This country slang, not slang, but the countryism in which I have, this colloquial dialect, that's who I am. Exactly. You, that's who you are. That's what makes you glow but like people weren't trying to give me the change like it was just really people me finding out that people love how many people talk because i had never knew we

had an accident ever until like i blew up and started going into other cities yeah like i never knew i really thought we talked normal as hell and so once i started doing interviews when i first blew up and everybody was like oh my god she's so country and like they got an accent the accent so strong i'm like damn this how this everyday talking right like this how we talk well when you around everybody that sound like you that's that's normal until you get outside you're like like, well, damn. What the hell y'all talking about? They be making me feel like I speak like Spanish or something. So the new album, Everything, Everything. But is it Everything, Everything or Everything, Everything?

It's Everything, Everything. No R's. No R's. No. Everything, Everything. Everything, Everything. So how did you come up with that title? Wait, you got to say it first.

Everything, Everything. Everything, Everything. Okay, say it together. Ed Thing, Ed Thing. Ed Thing, Ed Thing. Okay, say it together. Ed Thing, Ed Thing. That's right. Hey, Glo, you're not going to be walking up out here talking like this, though, okay? Because I got to go on TV for real. You know, they like the accent, so you know you might.

So you're going to have me like Madonna with that fake British accent. You're going to have me talking fake Memphis. Nah, it ain't going to be fake, though You go have me talk to be talking fake Memphis. No, I don't be fake though. Could you gonna get used to no? hell I So when you when you sit down and you and you you doing the album tell me what's going through your mind when you want to do this album Okay, so it's a project. It's not gonna be an album. It's gonna be a mistake. Okay a mixtape and so on My thought process is not thinking too hard okay because last year i was thinking too hard because i was an album mode because i was gonna drop my first album initially and so i went to thinking like

okay it gotta be big because i shot straight up and i was just big and so i'm like i was just thinking too hard about it and so once i had told god I'm like I want to do a mixtape instead of album I want to do an album I'm gonna do a mixtape first and it's like the songs just started flowing out like every day I go to the studio I'm making something like and they all sounded good and so it was because I got a mixtape mode like I wasn't thinking too hard on it and so yeah did you start to overthink things because like you said you came out with an album and say okay obviously you blew up and then is it a natural reaction or an instinct to try to come out with another album what made you decide to go mixtape instead of album number two see my first one was an album it was an ep okay and so yeah um after my ep did well i I was like, okay, so if the EP did well, the album got to do way better than the EP because it's an album.

Right. And so it was just the pressure of the word album. Okay. I don't know. What about that word? Give you so much pressure and make me overthink so hard, but that's what it was. But you still get,

whether it's a mixtape or an album, you still EP, you still got to drop quality music and you have that ability. So why, why, why, why pressure yourself because you're adding undue pressure on yourself that doesn't need to be there i don't know that's

why i told myself to stop overthinking because like i said i just want to go too big like you know i'm saying like i was like okay i'm gonna go i was just trying to stretch out right but whole time people just like i got big off being me right so i had to tell you glow you that girl yeah so i'm like okay i don't need to try to be bigger than what I already am. Like, people like me for me. The label that you're on, Yo Gotti, and you got, he's one of the biggest producers. He does what he does. What did he tell, I mean, he's in your ear.

He's telling you, is he telling you not to overthink it? Of course. He be like, Gotti like when I be rapping on the gangster shit. Right. Like, when I make asta song or some shit hard He be loving it right like angle that like even when I make like songs like my liquor some songs I be scared to let him hear Yeah, he be like you heart you just got to record and he would like one thing about me

I don't record a lot like if I don't like a song I'm a scratch it like the moment i write it and it's not good i'm not gonna record it or nothing and so like i could be in the studio for 10 hours write two songs not like them and i won't record he just be telling me like record them every song it might end up being good and i don't think it's good right you know what i'm saying every song you make not just gonna be like this but just do it you never know what the song gonna do but could it possibly be and he's trying to tell you like what you thinking and then you put it like you hear it back for yourself you're like hey you know what it ain't as bad as i thought it was it's like that a lot with me like even we yeah glow like when i first recorded it it was hard and so i guess i was listening to it too much i was like should i change this i don't know maybe they're

not gonna like this right like i start thinking too hard i said you know what let me stop listening to the song because everybody was telling me the song is so good so i just hit them i'd be overthinking so did you always want to be a rapper so what when when you were like say five six eight years old what did you want to be should we pull up another oh but hey god damn already so i guess i guess this don't go off go ahead but um no i didn't know what to kill you lamar pull up drink sit down drink God damn it. I don't read it. So I guess this don't wore off. Go ahead. But, um, no, I didn't. You tried to hit us with the Kendrick Lamar pull up, drink,

sit down, drink, head shot, drink. I'm going to do yours. Sorry. You know what I'm saying? Okay, but, um, no, I didn't always think I was going to be a rapper.

I, uh. God. How long you think? Huh? This wine is not a shot too sippy. I ain't never had it. This is my first time

ever drinking wine. Seriously? Yeah. Well, you're going to like this. You're going to keep buying it. I put everybody on it. I hope not. No, it's not nasty or nothing.

Like, it's juice. Yeah, okay. So, this your first time ever drinking wine? First time ever drinking wine. I feel good about this. You feel good. I got Shannon Shaw to drink wine for the first time. Let's get a round of applause for that.

So what I do is take a sip. Do we toast? Yeah. Grape juice, right? Yeah, that's like that Morgan David we used to drink in church. Exactly. For communion. You remember communion? For communion, yeah. Yeah, that's like that Morgan David we used to drink in church. Exactly. You remember communion? Yeah, yeah.

So can I call you Glow? Of course. So is that what people call you? Do they call you the full Glow-rilla or do they just call you Glow? Glow. Yeah. If we cool, Glow. Okay, so we cool.

We cool. Okay, well let me take a little shot. I'm going to take a little shot then. Woo. I'm going to feel some type of way after this. Okay, so we cool? We cool. Okay, well, let me take a little shot. Let me take a little shot then. Woo! I'm going to feel some type of way after this. When you start to hear people say,

man, Glowfield Law, she a one-hit wonder, what's going through your mind? Are you anxious to get back into the studio and prove them mofos wrong, or are you just like, it is what it is? You know, it put me back in a mindset. It made me more hungry. Like, it put me back in a mindset. It made me more hungry. Like, it put me back in a mindset from, it's the same pressure from when I first blew up and I was trying to get the heat that I had. Like, when I got F&L, it put me back in that mode.

Like, when you don't get it, it's like your hunger is like a hundred times more stronger. And so, you know, often we get comfortable when we don't know we get comfortable right and so like i feel good about myself you know i'm saying i done made it i did this i did that and so once the negative shit start coming back in it put me right back in all right i'm back in ground mode okay y'all thinking i can't do this i did it the first time why the fuck y'all think i can't do it again right in one look you feel me like it's talent at the end of the day it's god it was god first being blessed and it's the hard work like right you feel me why the fuck would you think i could do it again bitch i'm finna do it just like i did the first time the second time the third time we're gonna do this shit again

so how do you block out the noise i ain't talking to you i'm talking about like people no i understand that no but no no no i understand but i'm saying how do you how do you block out the noise you say you're not on internet but you do hear i mean if you don't hear you got people around you you got your team to hear what they say and they come back to glow the thing with me is criticism i like it like all my friends know when i talk to them i'm the most blunt person they'll ever meet. if you my friend and shit and you got a hole in your shirt or like you got on an outfit, I'm like,

I'm going to tell you, I ain't going to lie, your outfit weak as hell, but you know, whatever, whatever. I'm so honest and so I be telling them,

I want y'all to be dead honest with me. Like, don't tell me everything good. I'm going to feel like, you know what I'm saying? Right. Like, don't lie to me.

Like, tell me criticism because when I go out in the public, they going to say it anyway. Right. So, it's the only shit that I take from criticism.

Like when people be talking shit like, oh, she did this, it's this, it's that. Okay, I'm going to take heed to that and fix it. How did God tell you to handle the criticism? Man, God would be like Beyonce to the bullshit. He'd be like, don't worry about it. Like he just don't be on it. But you know what? People say that, but that is harder than it is because they ain't worry about it. Like, he just don't be on it. But you know what? People say that, but that is harder than it is

because they ain't talking about him. They talking about you. Yeah. But like I said, I like it. I mean, I don't, sometimes, like I said, it will make you feel some type of way at the end of the day. And then it's like having confidence. Okay, you saying that, but that don't mean the truth.

All y'all saying, this ain't good, that ain't good. It don't mean it's true. Right. Did you feel you blew up too fast because you were like here one day and the next day you way up here? So with that, I ain't going to say it's too fast. I feel like everything is perfect timing. Okay. You feel me?

So it's like I blew up fast. So I didn't have the time to make mistakes like everybody, like the normal artists that gradually blow up. They have a chance to make mistakes, and it's not just the public. I just not on them all the way. But since I went from zero to 100, it was like, damn, I ain't got the time to go in between the 20s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and make my little mistakes without the whole world just being on me so hard. But even with like all the pressure you really just still make you a stronger person at the end of the day when you have a hit how much pressure is it on you when you have a hit like that and you blow up to feel that

everything that you gotta make after that got to be at that level that's where i started overthinking it because my first three songs was big my first three songs i ever dropped and so it was like when i after i dropped my ep and it did good too and i had sold out my first tour and everything it was like okay i sold out my first tour with the small rooms so now i gotta make bigger songs and get the bigger rooms right instead of i wasn't it was it was pressure just thinking i gotta go so big but you do realize glow, you can make great music and it might not have the commercial success. And I like to use Michael Jackson as an example, like thriller.

It drove him crazy because every song that he made after thriller, he thought it was going to be that that's an anomaly. That's a once in a lifetime thing. Same thing with me with cat Williams. Everybody's like, man, you ain't gonna never get another cat. I understand that, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna do a quality conversation so even if you don't have the commercial success as the first two or three that doesn't mean you're not making

great music right do you understand that i understand now but it's still hard though you still because that high of making that music and the way you feel in the city and it's buzzing blow that yeah you know what you are you want to feel that again there's nothing like that initial high there's nothing like that and you chase it right it's just like a fiend that first high there's nothing like it that first high you got when you made that first one and Memphis was buzzing and then that thing went to Texas and then went to Georgia and then went to New York and to Cali. You crave it.

You can't put it down. Right. That was a great example. That was a great analogy. That's how it was. Boy, you good, huh? I ain't drinking no more. I'm drinking water now.

I'm on the water hard. I ain't drinking no more. I'm drinking water now. I'm on this water hard. So, do you, is it harder now that you've done it? Because you,

I mean, like, this is how I feel. If I do something once, I can do it again. Right. So, do you feel that same way?

Do you feel like, well, hell, I made a hit. I made two hits. I made three hits. Hell, why can't I make four,

five, six, seven, eight? Yeah. Like me'm i'm super big on god and so like um like so my mama she'd be like what can i do for you like because you know i pay my mom bills i pay my parents bills what can i do to help you i'd be like just pray for me like and keep me in your prayers right and and i just feel like that's gonna always longer i got god on my side so you know she can seem slow at one point but like they say he may not come when you want him but he gonna always be there so i just feel like long as i'm staying

prayed up and i'm actually doing the work and i'm actually speaking what i want into existence and actually going for it there's nothing that can stop me you do realize it's the prayers you didn't even know your mom was praying they got you this far exactly so how how hard is it when you hear people i mean look people that you don't know i mean it doesn't bother you nearly as much as the criticism from someone you do know like like DJ Academics said some things. Kassanet said some things. You even blocked them. Did you unblock them?

Yeah, that was a whole joke. That was a joke. That was a serious joke. And that's another thing. People don't understand that I play too much and I don't understand that people don't know me and don't know that I play too much.

Because they don't know you, Glo. Exactly. And I hate to realize that because all my people, they didn't even call me once they saw me trolling. They didn't even call me like, oh my God, what's going on? They know I play too much. Because they don't know you, Glo. Exactly. And I hate to realize that because all my people, they didn't even call me once they saw me trolling. They didn't even call me like, oh my God, what's going on? They know I play like this. Right.

I just play too much. Right. Yeah, I just be playing. Oh, so that's what you do. Okay, so I'm glad to hear that you're playing. But when you hear LeBron James saying, yeah, Glo, and you know who LeBron is, I don't need to know. Hey, without any further explanation.

Right. When you hear someone like that jamming, rocking out to yours, how does that make you feel? Like, that was a feel. Like, that was a high. Because, like, I was getting a massage. I was out here, right? Yeah. So, I was getting a massage.

And I'm hearing my phone blow up on the little massage table. I'm like, oh, whatever it is, I'm going to get it. Yeah, they're disturbing your peace right now. Yeah, they're disturbing my peace. But they were doing it right. So, I looked at my phone. Everybody was calling me like, you know,, I'm going to get it. Yeah, they're disturbing your peace right now. Yeah, they're disturbing my peace, but they were doing it right. So I looked at my phone, everybody calling me like, you know, LeBron, just posted your song, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, what? So I instantly go reposting and stuff.

Then I was talking to Rick, my manager. He was like, I think you should go to the game. I said, yeah, I want to go to the game. They got a game tonight. I'm going to pull up to that joint. I went straight to Rodeo Drive, got me something to wear. Me and my friend, we're going to go to the game they got a game tonight i'm gonna pull up to that joint i went straight to rodell drive got me something to worry me and my friend we're gonna go to the game i'm gonna get over the brunker like this one of the best not one of the best this is the best right player in the league right now colby my favorite player okay colby then lebron after him

okay and so like there was something like oh i heard lebron is yeah but they say he ain't know not one word but it didn the words, he did! I just watched LeBron rap songs and I know the words for real. Right. He knew yeah it glow. He probably ain't say like certain words but that was good for him because he don't be knowing songs for real. Come on man! Exactly, he knew more words than the usual when he was singing yeah it glow. I feel like, I feel crazy. So when you, when someone like that, someone of his caliber, like he's universally known, sings your song, obviously it brings attention. So what are those closest to you? Like, Glo, you know Braun, he be liking you like that.

Because he don't be rapping everybody's stuff. It's just the heavyweights. Right. Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Glo. Like I said, I didn't know how to feel about that. Then, like, my brothers, my whole family, they big on sports. Like, my dad and them, my brothers. And so it felt like a family trophy to me.

Because I'm like, because they love this shit. Like, they watch this shit this shit all day right and so all of them was like you got lebron singing your song and that felt that was like that made me happy because like i said i grew up in a sports they love sports in my house right so i'm like yeah nigga lebron singing my song what like what's up yo so they couldn't tell you nothing huh they could tell me shit like nobody could tell me shit i got lebron cosign lebron don't cosign everybody he does he does not and i got shannon sharp cosigning me too yeah yeah you boy on you i'm on you i am with you i am with you you feel me yeah so let me ask you this when people like myself that have platforms and other people that have platforms like mine and they're critical of your songs. It's like, oh, she's not this, she's not that. Do you believe they sway

public opinion to how they should feel about you? You talking about like when one person said, like, it make everybody else say the same shit? Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that's a big thing. Like, I feel like if social media didn't exist. Let's just say, okay, me and Glo, we having a conversation

and it's mm 2000 and okay we've 1998 and there ain't no social media could you have blown up like you did i mean social media is like blessing and a curse exactly like social media helped out a lot but at the same time like people are very follow the leader you know what i'm saying so it's like everyone on social media they can't see nobody talking shit about it. So they just hear it on the radio. And it's just a song. And it's not a bad song, actually. Like, some people will only not like a song because everybody else said it.

And a song can be a good song. I done seen that in a lot of cases. So if you just hear a song on the radio and you don't got social media to see nobody else talking shit about it, you just going to like the song. The song just, it's a good song. So, yeah yeah i feel like people i follow the leader when it comes to they are and then once and especially if somebody if it can start traction if it gets traction then everybody else like that yeah that's some bull jive oh you were just rocking the song just five minutes ago now have some bull jive because you heard somebody that has a platform say that

was exactly and if that same person another person with a bigger platform say they like it, okay, we're going to go with what they say then. We like it. Right. How was it meeting LeBron in person? He's so nice and cool. I never in my life thought I was going to meet LeBron James, but he's just so nice and cool and tall as hell. I'm like, damn. On the picture, I'm looking at him like this.

Like, damn. But he was just super cool. Like I was like in the hallway wanting to see him and shit. And I ain't even know he was coming. He just bust out. Yeah, glow. Then walked up on me and shit. And he was telling me, he was like, I ain't even know you was out here or none of that.

I was like, shit, I ain't know you were going to post a video to my song. But I pulled up. You feel me so he's just a cool person i fuck with him that's my favorite basketball player so okay your favorite now give me your favorite your five your five favorite basketball players we know lebron is number one right now you're talking about right now all the time all the time give me all give me your all-time list kobe is forever number one kobe number one ko Kobe number one. LeBron number two. Okay.

I'm going to say, I was a big Derrick Rose fan when he played for Memphis. Oh, played for the, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Tigers. Yes, yes. I ain't going to lie. I used to, oh, Steph Curry, Steph Curry. Okay.

And it was so crazy when I'm finna say, but Dwight How used to love do i have what you say for the magic yeah i believe you shots like still current because you shot one from the rafters talk about hey hey who who who in is this right here i don't even i don't i don't even care because you can't whip me so you i ain't saying we'll you know what you said i know what you said but I can't say that.

Let me ask you this. Who's your GOAT? Who's your greatest basketball player in Glo's mind? Kobe. I'm a big Kobe fan. Why do you like Kobe so much? What is it about Kobe? I was like, I don't know.

Do you get concerned about guys trying to trap you?

Because guys always, always want to, you know, especially once you become somebody. You always got to worry about the pitfalls or, you know, age. Do you worry about stuff like that? Do females that are, like, here, like you are, do they worry about the same things like men worry that are here? How we can get trapped? How we can get trapped? How can girls get trapped? You know how. I got a membership at that place.

Damn! I don't play like that. You don't play like that? I don't play like that. Okay. I play like that? I don't play like that. Okay. Damn. I don't even know. I got to,

I got to, hey, I got to shake this one off. Damn. You saw PSA toxic behavior. You say women in their 20s should display toxic behavior and level up the illusion.

What do you mean by that? Okay. Like, I really like people, that's what I'm saying. People take me too serious. Yeah. You ain't on no Jasmine Sullivan bull job are you what Jasmine Sullivan

bust the windows out your car um I mean I'm pretty sure everybody went through some shit no ain't nobody go through that glow everybody went through no hell no no I don't know you never got your windows bust out I have exactly but I'm just saying but I didn't I didn't do I ain't never done that to somebody i'm saying it's a female a lot of females and been through that situation like they ain't been too in love and they ain't got they hard bro that's what y'all call that yeah don't love me that hard that feelings be heard you can't hurt no female feelings like females feelings is stronger than men like like safe answer like in a teen situation if you go cheat you ain't gonna

fall in love with a bit a female go cheat they really well not me but regular females when they if they going if they in love with you and they go step out yeah they really it's something about that nigga they like for real you might not like to be you just niggas just do that yeah that's what y'all do but they know what y'all i don't know y'all but at the end of the day that's what i'm saying like y'all feelings don't be too deep into shit like females and so females be reacting off their feelings sometimes most females i'm gonna say 80 percent of females have been through some shit like that but they didn't destroy your property because their feelings was hurt you ever had your heart heart broken? Mm-hmm. One time. And that's why I am how I am today.

I mean, damn, you ain't really give nobody a second chance? Mm-mm. Because everybody, I just feel like everybody like that. Because at the end, like I said. What you mean everybody like what? I got six brothers. I got a lot of friends. I got best friends. I got cousins.

And I see how dudes act. Right. And like all of them got the, like, it's a common denominator. Like, they ain't shit. on glow come on now i'm not finna let you sit up here and do this that's what it is that ain't nothing what it is no it ain't the hell no now what if i'm up here talking about all females ain't that that's your opinion you been through something that made you feel like that? No. Hold on.

You can't judge everybody because you don't have a bad chapter in the book. The rest of the books might be good. I don't judge everybody about it, but it's like. You ain't met the right one yet. That might be what it is, but it's just like my perception, like that one shit. You know how that one thing can change your perception on everything? Hell yeah. I had one time. God had one time teach me a lesson that might have just like you know he was he might not have been

right for you at that moment everybody like y'all is something that why you keep saying y'all? Men, okay, not you. Men. Something about y'all that just don't click. In my head, I feel like every man going to cheat. I don't feel like it's a man that don't cheat on his earth. I understand my heart feel like that. What about women?

You think they cheat? Women be cheating too. But for sure men. What you mean for sure? It's some men out there that don't do that? It's some men out there probably that don't do that. You just ain't met him yet, huh? I ain't ran across none like that.

Because everybody I know that's a male, well, like my friends and like I said, my brothers and my cousins, I see them do this shit. That's how I am how I am because I was raised mostly around dudes. Right. So I just know how to... So you adopted that mentality.

So you got a dude mentality. That's right. Now you need to lay the, lay the out. But that's the, that's like escaping reality though. Oh my God. I read you have some famous cousins,

Luzi and Cart. Are they your real cousins or are they the black people cousins? Um, Luzi my cousin and Cart is my cousin. Real cousin or black people cousin? Because you know, hey, that's my cousin and we ain cousin. Real cousin or black people cousin? Because you know, hey, that's my cousin and we ain't really related.

At the end of the day, the day gonna end. Oh my goodness. Look it up! We got the same last name, me and Uzi. Family tree, you gotta look up the family tree. I mean, I'm sure there's some white people out there that got Sharp as the last name but i don't know i don't know you know i gotta look at the tiger woods too huh yeah tiger woods might be my cousin too you're claiming people left and right no because actually you want me to tell you a funny story when i was young my daddy used to tell me we was related to tiger woods okay but he was just though. But we had the same last name and so I really believed like Tiger Woods was related to me

my whole life. Well, keep running with that story. So how did you feel when Cardi hopped on Tomorrow, the remix? It was cool because Cardi, it was great actually. Cardi was like one of the female rappers that I loved before I blew up. And so, um, they licking the guy too, man, across my legs like I'm really Cardi was like one of the female rappers that I loved before I blew up. And so, they licking the guy too. Man, it crossed my legs like I'm really talking. I said, shit.

No, no, that ain't that little one shot. That ain't do nothing. That ain't do nothing to you. I can see if you had a couple of them, but you ain't had but one. It's that TP. I know what it is. But, yeah, Cardi, like I said, they really tried to hide it from me. Because I was in the studio one day and I was playing this other song and I was like, hmm, I heard Cardi on here.

And so I DM'd her because I didn't have her on me. I DM'd her. I was like, I got this song I want you on, Blah Jay, Blah Jay. And she was like, girl, I already did. I just did one of your songs. I'm like, when? Where? And so she had sent me, she had screen recorded and sent it sent it to me in a dm

like two different videos of her birth i'm like oh and so i like my whole team was in the studio that day i said so when was y'all gonna tell me carter did some and i was just so happy i was so geeked because when i heard it when she sent it to me like i was like oh my god this is so good right so y'all was geeked about that and as a token of your appreciation, you bought a Patek, some Van Cleef. So, is it Patek or Patek? It's pronounced Patek. Okay, so. But we say Patek.

Why we be saying it? The same reason we say Maybach. I say Maybach. It's my bach. My bach. Okay, so Patek. I mean, as your boy got it you tell you how okay so it's a man cleve so i mean you you that type yeah i appreciate so you a gift giver

always have been uh no oh you just got like you got some bread huh um but i'm sure before you got bread you do little things like see i'm the type person i'm not super thoughtful so i'm learning how to be thoughtful now okay but um back in the day like i didn't used to know what to give people for christmas learning this year like i just cash out any better yeah see that i just you you gonna like some money at the end of the day so here here goes some money. Because I can't put too much thought. It's too many people to think about. I ain't that thoughtful of a person. But I'm learning how to do this.

Yeah. I done got better with it. See that money? You can't go wrong with money for a gift. Mm-hmm. It's the right color and it always fit. Exactly. Mm-hmm.

You know what I mean? Anytime. Anytime. But there was a pastor that was reciting one of your verses. Mm-hmm. You're like, hold on now hold on did you did you like read while I hold let me go back okay no way this man you know actually some a passing did it before okay when I first dropped for tomorrow a pastor I think probably two passes a quarter thing in a service and so when I saw that again, and when he said, yeah, that's what had me tripping. Okay, but I feel like it wasn't nothing wrong with it.

He was relaying the message. He was trying to relay. But, you know, culturally, my song is pop right now. So he mixed it in. But he didn't say nothing bad. If it's going to get the congregation to listen and to follow. Hold on. say nothing bad like if it's gonna get the congregation to listen and to follow hold on your actual real name is gloria hallelujah woods my friends say how to do this i was looking at i'm like why she got i mean you got big glow i mean

you iced the elf out you ice over there a little bit a little old sub right here. Nah, you got the ice. Stop playing. I mean, you got the ice out. Pat it. Yeah, patik. Patik. Yeah. I mean, how did your parents come up with that name? So I got my grandma, daddy's name, not the middle name, but she died before I was born.

So I never met her. But that's her name. And, you know, my mama never really explained to me where Hallelujah came from. She said, I guess you were feeling blessed. And I was her eighth child. She said, eight is a, what kind of number is eight? Eight some type of number. And because all my sisters, my mama got 10 kids.

All the boys, well, okay, so the oldest three got their own daddy. Right. And then the rest of the seven, we got the same dads. And so all my dad- 10? Yeah. My mama got 10 kids. Yeah.

I mean, please tell me, like, one of them, like, 50, and the other, like, they can't be doorstep. It's like that. It go from my youngest brother is 21 21 and my oldest brother is 38. Yeah. But all they all my brothers like they got the same middle name and all my sisters got the same in the name. Like all my brothers got my daddy middle name, which is Carmichael. All my sisters middle name in the code.

I'm the only one who middle name is Hallelujah. yeah well you you different you special huh so you that children well you that children one yeah so what was it like growing up in a household with 10 brothers and sisters we used to be jacking y'all you know what jacking me yeah yeah yeah we used to be jacking that's what a lot of people in one has gonna do though no not necessarily close i ain't gonna let you i ain't gonna let you talk about that so like that's okay how many siblings you got i only got i got a brother and a sister it's three of us i'm the youngest imagine it was a lot of us so we used to get on each other nerve right and pick on each other and fight but we love each other at the end of the day, though. Yeah.

Ten brothers and sisters. So what was a typical day like? Because, okay, you were homeschooled until you were what, the fifth grade? Right. And then I guess

one of the older sisters called CPS. Mm-hmm. And then CPS intervened and your mom had to enroll you guys in traditional school yeah so um the sister that's right on top of me she was like it was always a problem child yeah in every uh child group and so yeah um we used to get whoopings like like every child get whoopings but my sister didn't like getting whooping so she uh used to call uh dcs on my mama and she was like they been my mama

used to beat on us. And then we wasn't learning nothing in homeschool and all this stuff. And so my mama had to put us in school after that. So it was like she was forced because she didn't want us. I think my mama didn't want us to know. My mama is super sanctified. And she always say certain stuff is of the world. She used to say she didn't want us to be of the world.

Like she didn't want to expose us to all the outside world. And so she only place we went was home in church. We didn't go nowhere. And so, yeah, by the time I got in school, I was 10. I was in fifth grade. You glad to go to school? I was happy to go to school because we say seven houses down from the school. And so every day after school we

seen the kids come down oh man playing and they be playing in school and yeah looking like they got friends like they having fun and i used to like every time at 2 15 i used to look out the window at the kids walking home from school and they just used to be so happy having fun so i used to want to go to school so bad i was so happy when we finally had to go to school like so what was the relationship like your relationship like with your mother you said 10 kids it's hard it's hard to divvy up attention and affection for 10 kids now that's a lot it's just like um so i'm the third youngest so i'm number eight out of 10 kids yeah but i never was treated like i was a young child.

Once my oldest sister was grown and left the house, my mama had me like the child that was next to her. I used to have to put all my mama's receipts together, so keep up with her money. I used to have to remember all her passwords to her stuff. So I never was treated like my mama never handicapped me. I never was in a group with a young kid. So like she always had me by her. So like I was always more advanced than everybody. Right. Because she always had me like her assistant. Right. Help me understand. Your mom was like pagan.

Was pagan. Like there's two forms. There's one that doesn't believe in religion. They don't go to church. They don't't believe in religions they don't go to church they don't go to mosque they don't go to synagogues and then there's one that believes that there there are many gods now my mom ain't need one of them my mom just believe in god and she believed in god and she don't believe in holidays like she don't believe in christmas she don't believe in halloween like we didn't celebrate a lot of holidays coming up would she believe like like nature like isn't what it's like like polytheism which is many um so i'm trying to get a sense of like your mom if you didn't go you didn't go to church you didn't go to synagogues i went to church you went to church yeah so you grew up in the church i grew up in church

i'm confused what you confused about? Oh, there's that you. There's that you. That's how they do. Okay, so you grew up in the church. That's a lot of people that haul to church. Y'all have a bus? What y'all have? A little minibus?

A Sprinter van? My dad, I remember this white van my dad always had that we had to ride because it was 10 of us and then when the oldest three got grown and left we used to be in this like uh kia sedona that's still a lot of people that's not that's nine people like we was also little like we all little like me yeah all my daddy kids little like these so we used to like shirt seats with each other so we all matter of fact my dad had a um a ford mercury and all seven of us used to fit in that one back seat my mom was in the front seat my dad was in the seven seven kids we used to all eventually they got that much room now i swear to god it

was a full mercury i never forget it's a great ford mercury my daddy had got and we all seven of us used to be in that back seat grew up in the church did you sleep were you in the choir so you grew up in the church and i read that that Kurt Franklin and Donnie McClurkin and some of those were like your favorite. That's what you guys listened to. Right. Yolanda Adams. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. So growing up in the church, singing in the choir, did being a gospel singer ever cross your mind? That's what I thought I was going to be. Well, my mama used to make me feel like I was going to be a big gospel singer ever crossed your mind that's what i thought i was gonna be well my mama used to make me feel like i was gonna be a big gospel singer right because when we was young i used to sing in a choir and then like my mama was a cna okay and so like she was always working she always worked in nursing homes my whole life and so um she used to have us like every it'll be once a week we'll have to go to the nursing homes and sing to the older people okay and i used to

get out of solos because i really could sing and yeah i used to think i was gonna be a gospel singer and then i couldn't sing no more out of nowhere what happened i don't know i think it's because i started smoking weed but i don't know i probably just never could sing and i grew up and realized it i don't know what it was right back in the day i could sing and i just couldn't do it no more okay tell me this went to church three times a week and you were a member of the worship team what's the what's a worship team i understand like a dance team uh you know so what's a worship team in church i said worship team before yeah so what was your role what was your role other than in the choir what was what was your role um in church yeah were you an usher now my mama was an usher i ain't do nothing but uh i was on the dance team in church you got a dance it's called liturgical it's called

liturgical dancing in church you know when the girls had on the long white dresses they'd be covered all the way up and they'd just be doing a little dancing i used to do that before my i i had love i was that's i always been in church though no not like that not like that but uh yeah it's like gospel it's like it's called liturgical dancing right so let me ask you a question um you say your mom didn't believe in like christmas and and thanksgiving and no thanksgiving we did thanksgiving you did okay so no christmas no christmas no easter no easter no no valentine's no valentine halloween no halloween saint patrick's day i mean she never cared about the holiday like

is that a holiday everybody really be caring about they'd be getting tore up because they'd be pinching you when you don't got on green yeah dude well it's not that it's a big irish holiday yeah that's what i'm saying like it's not, it's not, it's a big Irish holiday. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, it's not nothing you just celebrate like how Christmas and Thanksgiving is.

So, how were you when you got your first gift? Because if you didn't celebrate, what about birthdays? Oh, yeah, birthdays. So, you got gifts for birthdays.

It was really, basically, it was Christmas and Easter because my mama say those are pagan holidays. Mm-hmm. So, she was like,

Christmas is, it's somewhere in the Bible. Like, my mama know the Bible pagan holidays. So she was like, Christmas is, it's somewhere in the Bible. Like my mama know the Bible from top to bottom. It's somewhere in there where Christmas, like Jesus was born on December 25th.

It's made up. Right. And it's something the people just made up to talk about Jesus. Right. And Resurrection Day is not the day

he got rose on in real life. But it's just something, those holidays are man-made. Oh, okay. And it's some, it's against, the Bible against it somehow. Somewhere it's pagan holidays. Okay.

Yeah. So we're here to celebrate them. So help me understand this. How did your mom, dad feed 10 kids? They got to have some good jobs. Because you know kids eat a lot. Well, we used to get food stamps. You know, the food stamps good. You you know kids eat a lot well we used to get um food stamps you know the food stamps good you got 10 kids yeah yeah so dude they didn't have they had the

car or did y'all have the books 65 books you know they had books back in by the time i knew what food stamps was we was using the car okay but before then like it's something called a commodity house that was in memphis i don't know i I think it was in North Memphis, something like that. It was a commodity house, though. And they used to go there and get, like, these blocks of cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you would. They make the best sandwiches, don't they?

They used to make rice and cheese with the joints. It used to be so good. But you know, that night, you had to get up on that family home. Yeah. And it break off. It never came off straight down. Yeah, exactly. So, they used to get like that

um i just remember always going to the commodity house like uh similac right stuff like that like all the groceries we got from there and i don't really don't know because i stayed in the same house from when i was born until i was 15 years old i stayed in that same house how many people slept in the bed how many sisters how many people slept in the bed? How many people slept in the bed? All four of us slept. Okay, I never had a real bed in my whole life until, okay, so from when I was

born until I was 15, I had never slept in a real bed. Like we, I thought everybody slept on air mattresses. I never knew people had real beds.

So like, when growing up, it was a lot of us. The girls had one room, the boys had one room. Well, my two oldest brothers, they used to sleep

in like the attic upstairs. Damn. So they had their own room. It wasn't the attic, it was like a room across The boys had one room. Well, my two oldest brothers, they used to sleep in like the attic upstairs. Damn. So they had their own room. It wasn't the attic. It was like a room across from the attic. Yeah. But, and so the boys had one room and the girls had one room. And we all slept on one queen size air mattress.

And yeah, I was like that my whole life. And I never knew, like, I used to think my mom was being mean to us because she used to let people come over our house and stuff. Because, you know, I grew up, we had reds and roaches and blah blah and i used to be like when i used to go to school and the kids be talking about yeah we're gonna go over what's name house what's name house i used to be like dang can't nobody come over my house but i just thought my mom was being mean the whole time i would have been embarrassed because they would have been like you don't got no bed yeah you sleep on the air mattress your back should be messed up sleeping on the floors yeah and we used to sleep

on floors too like because you know one little thing can put a hole in the earth mattress? Your back should be messed up sleeping on the floors. Yeah, and we used to sleep on floors, too. Like, because, you know, one little thing can put a hole in the earth mattress. Yeah. And, like, my dad used to always go get the patches for the earth mattress, and you glue it on there and patch the hole up on the earth mattress. And until they got the money to go buy the patches, we would sleep on the floor until the earth mattress got back patched up. And when I turned 15, I moved to my daddy.

My daddy was staying in a hotel. And that was the first bed I ever slept in my whole life. So, was your mom strict? My mom, yeah, she was super strict. Like, we used to have to sneak out the house because she didn't let us. My mom, she didn't want us exposed to the world. Right. But when we got in school, we was automatically exposed to the world.

Like, we around all these other kids. Yeah, they're doing sneaky. Yeah, and so, as kids, you want to do what other kids doing right yeah we'd sneak out the house it's either sneak out because you got 10 it's hard to keep eye on all 10 of them well by time i started sneaking out the house the oldest three was gone okay so that's still seven that's a lot to keep out and so yeah we used to be like sneaking out and my mom used to go to work overnight like 11 to 7 right yeah so you went you grew up in the church so when did you like did you ever was there ever time that you like do you still go to church no I don't go to church now so how were you when you kind of like

stopped going I mean because I read that you went like three four times a week and then probably went down to like one to two times a week and then probably no times a week it was probably like when i turned like 13 i had we had stopped going to church it was we or you the whole if my mom went to church i was going to church okay so why she stopped i don't know i guess um because we used to change churches churches a lot and so i don't know i guess she she wasn't with the church no more right but she would she would see how bad it was at home right but yeah we had stopped i stopped going to church at like 12 or 13 right okay you got a job you're working at checkers right so what what was that experience so

so what made you decide to get a job you're like you know what i need me some money i'm tired of this you know waiting on my parents to hand me some money i'm gonna get me a job at checkers why checkers because like i used to um clearly you ain't eating none of them burgers i used to eat them all the time till i got tired of them when you work somewhere you start hating the food because you eat it every day right but um it was just like i was in 11th grade well it was the summer after 11th grade so right before i got into my senior year that summer i had got a job and i was just tired of not being able to cuz I never had no Jays or none in school right and I'm like I'm tired of not being able to wear the shoes like I

And I worked there my whole 12th grade year and like two years after that. Right. But you was on the internet. What you mean?

You was at work, but you was on the internet. Because you know, we'll get slow. You know, fast food restaurants, we'll not have no customers. I'm finna get on my phone. How you at work and on your phone? It's easy to do that. I know. It's easy.

So what did your supervisor say? What did the manager say? They used to be on their phone, too. They used to be on their phone, too. So, what other jobs you had? You worked at Checkers. So, any other fast food restaurants

you worked at? Mm-mm. Any other jobs that you had before you blew up? Yeah, I used to work a lot because like, I didn't know

what I wanted to be like. I ain't never want to sell no clothes or nothing like this so I just had to work jobs. Right. Because like, I tried to, I tried to like,

sell weed before but it didn't work out why didn't it work out what somebody in the jacket took your weed no it was just like it wasn't no money what you mean

it ain't no money I just feel like if you ain't got pounds of weed to sell it ain't no money like I used to like I was starting little like I used to

you throwing nickel dime yeah like I used to work at Nike like Nike was my first job after Chickles man okay and so I used to be there nike like nike was my first job after checkers man okay and so i used to be there like you know everybody want weed on break and my brother used to have weed but my brother ain't used to have no pound so i'm at work trying to sell this shit this shit

just ain't no money because the end of the day i gotta go bat it spend the same money and bad again so i'm like what money coming out of this i'm just doing illegal shit for no reason so i just stopped and i'm like well you're supposed to break it down you know what i'm saying if you buying for this you gotta to sell it for that to make money no because it's like then the weed i've said they want just the best weed even if it don't be having good weed oh okay yeah and so like everybody in the memphis people cheap like at one point it was 20 for a gram and then it's just like out of nowhere a gram was $10 yeah and so like everybody like i ain't paying over $10 on a gram what you want 15 uh-uh you texting this too

Yeah, so it was like I had stopped working two years before I blew up because it was at one point in Memphis I had gotten known

because me and my friends, I had been rapping. I wasn't just known like that, but they just knew me a tabby, like maybe a few people. Me and my friends all made the song that went, it got big in Memphis. So it was like, everybody knew us in Memphis. Like we was Memphis known.

And so I ain't want to just go to work no more and people see me like, I don't want y'all to like have access to me. And I used to kind of be in tour with people all the time too. And so like, yeah, you at work,

you can't do nothing to nobody you see them at work so you know what i'm saying so like i ain't want to work no more i'm like uh-uh because i had got to a point where i used to be in two people i'm like you mind you at work motherfucker call somebody up there while y'all getting off like hold on so you get into it you so was it people would that work with you or people that would come into the store? No. I worked. After that one job, I never worked at a job like that again. Memphis got a lot of warehouse. That's big

in Memphis. Everybody work at Tim's Serves and warehouse jobs in Memphis. I had a lot of warehouse jobs when I worked in there. You're bound to see anybody in there because everybody worked there like Amazon, Nike, FedEx. Them jobs big in Memphis. And so yeah, I just,

I used to be into people and shit. Why you got into it with people though, Glo? Cause bitches be hating. Nah, nah, nah, they hating. What, did you ever hate? I ain't never hated on nobody. For real. I tell people a lot of times,

as a kid growing up, work a lot of jobs cause it'll let you know what you don't want to do when you get older. Exactly. You have a lot of jobs. You work the fast food. You work that selling sneakers. You worked in warehouses. When did the book when did you like and you said you had you and your friends, you have, you know, you rap. It was big in Memphis.

So when did the rap bug bite you? And you says, OK, I found my calling? I started rapping right when I did. You're out. I got out of high school. I was playing with it in high school. And when people was telling me I should take it serious the whole time I was working, I was rapping. I was just like I was basically going to work to form my rap career.

Right. I got to go to work. Let me see. I make on, you know, we get paid every week. So when I was working, it was like $10 an hour. So my check probably like $400 something every week. I could put $200. The videos are cheap.

I could put $200 for the video. I ain't have no bills. I'm still staying with my daddy. Right. So I was just putting all my money into making videos. You know what I'm saying? Of course, when I first started, my videos weren't doing nothing, but I was still doing them. Like, constantly going up.

So basically, yeah, when I worked, I was paying bills. my videos weren't doing nothing but i was still doing them like right constantly going up so basically yeah when i worked i was paying bills once i started living on my own and just funding my rap career right so let me ask you to go back when you were at checker did you have any did you ever get into it with the customers you had any crazy customers you ain't throwing no drink on nobody you ain't throwing no food i never did nothing like that i just used to talk shit if they talk shit to me i'm gonna talk to you back i mean okay they say okay what if you got the order wrong what if it's your fault i ain't never used to do that i was like a vet like i could probably if i was to go to a feds who restaurant a restaurant and work

there today i would have it down pat like i knew the menu like without having to click the screen i knew the menu i knew how much to tell them like if they come and say i want a number seven spicy chicken sandwich all right 731 that's the price it was back then right 731 oh add a sweet tea that's like a dollar and 10 cent i added up in my head and before i even go ring it up i knew it like i never messed none up because i just i worked there for like three four years and i just and you knew all the prices started back back in your hand yeah but you didn't like the fact that somebody come in and get smart with you, huh? Yeah, like, they just used to be kind of slow. Like, people,

you would never appreciate fast food workers until you done worked in a fast food restaurant because it take a lot of patience to work there because people come there, oh, then, like,

you on the timer. Oh, yeah, yeah. So, okay, you hate when they, like, look at the menu while you back behind two or three people and don't wait until you get up there and talk about,

uh, let me get a number four. Yeah, like. No pickle, no onion. Yeah. Onion rings. Yeah, and it's like, as a cashier, you got a time. Like, you can't, like, once that time go up too high,

you gonna get in trouble, like, because it's like probably was 12, 15 checkout restaurants in Memphis. Yeah. And, you know, we used to rank off which ones had the best time, the most close ones. Oh, okay. Okay. So, as a cashier, we got to move the cars.

Like, we on the timeline. So, when they get back there acting slow. So, what come on the hamburger? Bitch. What you think come on the hamburger? It's right there. Look. You don't think that's a little aggressive?

I mean, I used to say that but in my head okay to be thinking yeah and so like they'll just get back there taking all day you know sometimes there's a cashier we'll be like okay anything else and they'll take that offensive like hold on let me let me look and so they'll just get to talking shit and talking smart and then that's it you are yeah or they'll say something like i got this coupon and it's too old like they should have said 2017 and it's 2019 bitch you can't use these and they'll say something like I got this creep on and it's too old like they should have say 2017 and it's 2019 Bitch, you can't use these And then somebody let me talk to your manager. I'm say she gonna tell you the same thing and they just catch attitudes

Bitch, but I say I catch you outside of work like what people in drive-thrus be talking crazy That's why I said I'd never work another fancy job after them, right? Okay. So now you start to struggle You got your car repossessed you sleeping on your friends couch and they hot they about to get evicted or they got evicted so now what's the lowest point that you say damn i gotta make something happen it's okay i was probably in my lowest right before i blew up like right before i blew up like the i'm gonna say the seven months before i blew up i was at my lowest lowest. So I always was, out of all my friends, I always had my own apartment. I always had my own car. And it was just like, I'm going to say 2020, 2021 was a bad year once,

like after my birthday. And it was just like everything went downhill and shit. But the whole time, I'm still having faith. I'm like, okay. Like I was, I had $0. My manager, he's still with me. He named Mark. And so like I had $0. I'd be like, ain't gonna laugh mark let me like let me borrow 400 real

quick so i can shoot this video and i promise when i blow up i got you like i used i got text messages in my phone and i used to always tell him that and like i just have nothing and still want to go shoot a video or want to go to the studio and shit and so um yeah it got to a point i had never stayed with one of my friends i always had my own shit and so that was like a pride thing because i never had to ask nobody to live with them and so i stopped staying with my friend gloss right she was going through shit at the same time she was pregnant with her second baby at this time so like she going through shit too she gotta go stay with another motherfucker and so i'm like damn where the fuck i'm finna go so it was at a point i was like i could have stayed with my mama but i didn't want to stay with my mom yeah you grown

now you like i like my mama one of them like she still streak like how i was when i was seven yeah yeah don't come in my house past 11 o'clock i can't stay with you because i know i'm coming your house so i couldn't stay with my mama and my daddy my daddy just had like a swamp pass at the time like it's just somewhere you don't want to live right as a girl you know and so like it was at a time like i just be out all day because i didn't have nowhere to go like i just go to everybody's house because i don't got nowhere to go and then after i just go to everybody's house because I don't got nowhere to go. And then after I just swallowed my pride and I just started living with my friend T. Because I just never used to want to ask nobody to stay with them because I always was the one.

Everybody came to the ex for shit. So imagine you always ask me for shit. Then I just got to come back and ask you. You just beat my pride. And then it was just right after that I had blew up though. Yeah. I mean, you got your car repossessed. Yeah. Why didn't you give up? And then over just right after that I had blue auto. Yeah, I mean you got your car repossessed and yeah

Why didn't you give up because there are there are times that I mean, I'm probably sure that you felt like you like damn I ain't got no really no place to stay. I don't lost my car. I ain't got no money in my account Yeah, what kept you going? Because my music will still be going viral like like like when i post my music it'll still be doing good and people making money off that i won't make money so what the hell viral got to do it they ain't got no money in your pocket i was like it's getting somewhere okay they know me you know what i'm saying i'm not making no money like i was i'll pay to go get on the show like if somebody finna come to the city like um a big artist or artist that's kind of good i'll

pay to get on the show to perform you paying them to get on they did yeah is that normal well if you up come artists and you want to be known like you got to pay for this shit like you ain't just gonna don't nobody know who you is ain't nobody just gonna pay you to get on a show they don't know who you is right so like yeah you got as a up-come artist you got to pay to do this shit right like and so um yeah my car had got repositioned like probably two weeks i had made the song f and f already right and i hadn um yeah my car had got repositioned like probably two weeks i had made the song f and f already right and i hadn't paid my like car done like three months i was like fuck this shit and so um so how you had it out because you know they're coming to get it three months they're coming to get i used to park behind my friend car oh okay so they couldn't they couldn't

get it i used to park it behind my friend car but. But you know what it was? That whole time, though, I had just like, the 2021 year was the year I had that one heartbreak I told you about. I was going through it at the same time. So it was like everything was downhill that year. And so, but my music, my music was doing good, but I wasn't getting paid off of it. So it ain't like my music was doing good, but I still ain't got no money. So I had went on this. I said, okay, I'm going to see today's fans because something got to change. done good but i still ain't got no money but so i had went on this i said okay i'm gonna take today fast because something got to change me and my friend my sister t when 2022 came we had said we

sat down we was in her living room and i was like something got to change this you're like we got to do something different that we've been doing for all these other years and so we were like all right we got no niggas no liquor we ain't going out none of that yeah so we were like we're gonna do this and then see what they help out like because we couldn't we come to like in the same predicament it's something that gotta change to stop the repetitiveness so i stopped talking to all the niggas and shit i i stopped the i stopped drinking because i had got on that shit real bad. Right. Like, I had got on that shit real bad. And, like, I had just, I was on it too bad. And I wasn't going out.

And we had started doing shit we didn't have no business doing to get some money. Oh, there you go. It's so crazy. I blew up right after that, though. So, like, that 60 days, we had started in March. So, like, we got the rest of the bullshit out of our system for the rest of the January, February. March came around. We said, all right.

So by May the 1st, some shit needs to be changed. My friend quit her job because she was working as a security guard at Nike. And shit, that's when I blew up after them 60 days because I made the song April 21st. And the song came out April 29th, which means I made a first That was the secret days The song blew up. How did it blow up so big? Does somebody big repost it? I mean, how did it get traction and just take off like it did? So I used to make

Trillers out of time so like this will call my artists do that for Memphis for sure We do a song being like make a trailer to it like a kind of like a t-top Okay And I posted it and it just was start going up like people like we like the song and I had songs before that they Did that too like that's why I say like the whole day whole year my attraction was building slowly in the city and surrounding areas And so on the first person they had reposted the song was on Then who's the first person that had reposted the song was, damn, who was the first person? Shit.

Oh, damn. I can't even remember. It was a DJ. Why I can't think of her name right now? I'm out there tailoring. It was a DJ. French Montana DJ. What's her name?

What's French Montana DJ name? The girl? Duffy. DJ Duffy. Okay. I couldn't think of it because I'm out there. DJuff but the first one right there she made a video to it and then everybody else he just all gone crazy everywhere and they blew up i mean but you see cardi b sweetie lotto they co-sign it like okay you that so how does that make you feel when artists that's already on and everybody knows who they are give you that hall pass and say you

you next you feel super good because these people i listen to and like i watched carded hole come up like when she first blew up i went back and watched her on love and hip-hop and let's talk all music and and i just i liked her story and so it's just you know once you once these people you watch say something good about you, you just make you feel good. Damn. OK, I like you. I look up to you. Yeah. But, you know, sometimes it's hard for women to support other women. Sometimes it's hard for black to support other blacks. Why is that? I mean, because I mean, they make it seem like if I support you, if I say something good about you, that's going to impact my money. Like there ain't enough money out there.

I mean, once I saw the pandemic and I saw the government start printing money, I was like, man, I'm good. They'll never run out of money. So I, well, I've never interfered with anybody else trying to make their paper. But I mean, I ain't never been like that. Why is it like that? Why is it so hard for women to support other women in our community to support our own community? I just feel like women are naturally competitive. Yeah, we all competitive.

Women, I think we like more competitive. Really? Yeah, I don't think it'd be like such a hate thing. I just feel like, you know, women are competitive. Mm hmm. Now I mention you. I mean, you I mean, you got them. You got them heavyweights.

Glow that in. You know I brag different. You feel me? So it's a Memphis thing, huh? So how did you get, did labels start reaching out when they, so how did this, now all of a sudden, how did Glorilla

tie us in? So after my son was going viral, all the labels was calling me. Like I had a label me when they almost every label this a label. So it was like, I was in calls back to back to back. I was going to label me not to label me not to label me. When she, when I had finally went with my decision

and she, you know, in the midst of that, everybody was like seeing me blow up and everybody was just showing love. What was it about Gotti? Um, it was so crazy. I be telling this, like I actually

was scared to meet Gotti, like, I was scared because it's really every Memphis person's dream is to like, well, upcoming rapper

they want to sign to Gotti. Right. Like Gotti, CMG, like the biggest label in Memphis. And so, um, I was just going to all the label meetings. You know cmg like the biggest label in memphis and so um

i was just going out of label means you know i didn't feel like no no one really believed in me like they was thinking i was a moment like when i was talking to everybody like they was coming off is i was a moment like they'll be like uh okay let's hear your other music and they just won i was playing tomorrow i was playing every song you know what I'm saying? For them, man, they just, they worried about FNF. And FNF was like the producer song at the time. And so, like, it's like they couldn't do nothing off their song. And so, when I talked to the guy, he was like, I don't even want to talk about FNF. I want to hear your other music.

What else you got? Like, I don't even, that's cool. That's big. But let me hear what else you got. Nobody had, nobody in the mean was just too much current about it. got like i don't need that that's cool that's big yeah but let me hear what else you got nobody had nobody to mean with just too much current about it like they was everybody focused was this song because they saw how fast it was moving up and yeah then like a lot of them like they weren't really they always weren't talking about nothing and like i said i could just tell

i would have just been moved to the side right if it was up to them right but um yeah when i talked to god he just it's like he just had bigger a bigger vision right so you're on a yacht now you get with god you're on a private jet you sign the contract at that moment what's going through your mind so i had uh sam got it before that okay yeah and so um when i had first signed this shit, like, I ain't gonna lie, I was having it. Like, I ain't want to tell nobody because I know my friends gonna be too excited and go telling everybody. Right. But, you know, I got my sister. I tell my sister everything.

Tease and shit. And we was just talking about it. And Tease a big ass fan of God. Like, Tease is like a Gotti fan. So, like, we was just talking about it. And, like, I was talking to her about all the politics. I was talking to my manager about it. And I was just excited about it. Like, I don't know. I don't know if I showed him I was talking about it. And, like, I was talking to her about all the politics. I was talking to my manager about it. And I was just excited about it.

Like, I don't know. I don't know if I showed him I was excited about it. But I was just. You was trying to hold it in. You didn't want to be too excited. I was too excited about it and shit. So, everything just ended up being everything. So, when you got the check, what was one of the first things you bought?

I had got my teeth done. Oh, you had. Yeah, I had some choppers in my mouth. Uh- yeah yeah i had some choppers in my mouth uh-huh i had some choppers my real teeth are like baby shark and so i got my veneers oh you have some shark teeth i have some baby shark teeth oh man oh you got the bag look at that look at that a pearly white with it did you always because like i always remember like when i was growing up i always said if i ever got some money the first thing i'm doing i'm going to the dentist yeah i'm gonna get these things because i mean i'm in people's face too much exactly like well your teeth is a big part yeah

you're never gonna call me cavity creek ah nah so i mean i'm talking about i talk about people and you know how you go talk about people you got a raggedy mouth Cuz I'm the first you talking people see your mouth So I'm like I gotta get that like yo teeth is like probably the biggest part of your appearance. Yeah Especially that smile and you know how people smile some time in a club I already know you smile smiling I used to like talk with my mouth closed Like I see a kind of I'm I'm just now getting out of it because I got pretty teeth now But like I used to talk my mouth closed like I used used to like talk with my mouth closed see like i still kind of i'm i i'm just now getting

out of it because i got pretty teeth now but like i used to talk with my mouth closed like i used to be like yeah like i don't want people to see my teeth so what is it like so obviously he got your uh money bag uh yo and efg 42 so what is it what what's so special what is it about goddy that you like you know you made the right decision but what is it about him what you mean like about me signing no you know what makes him special i don't know like i did like he he like he from memphis so he gets you know yeah he get it you feel me and so like i don't feel like if i would have just like signed to other people they would like understand like where i'd be coming from a lot like even in the studio gotta be understanding me and where i'd be coming from like because you know people be failing to understand me a lot of times right you know what i'm saying and so um he's smart he's

super smart he'll be the man right you go hard though does the other say you gotta pull back on this now like what you mean you go hard you know what i mean i mean look at your songs i mean you got f and f and the way you and the way you go about it i mean there's something about there's something about memphis you're talking about go hard like what type of go on your songs you're talking like a good thing or bad good thing it's a good thing he always tell me i'll be hard oh yeah it's a good thing i thought you're saying like like go hard like going to ham doing some shit you ain't got no beating it no no no no no no no but i mean obviously i mean what you're doing is working yeah so i mean why would you train what's working that's why i said he know the memphis sound so that's why that's another reason i was glad i'm

glad that i work with him because he know the sound right and so I ought to he'd be like like when I make a song a song can be this way gotta gonna go change like the whole sequence of the shit and make it the song that it is type shit like he'd be like really he'd be really producing the shit right so do you get it okay you got your teeth done you ain't go get a whip? I had got a whip last year because I'm not a driver. You can't drive? You ain't got no license?

What is it about their style? I like all of them as artists. Like Beyonce. I grew up on Beyonce. She's forever going to be my favorite artist of all time. Lil Wayne and Drake, they just like lyrical beast right um i love they swag and they approach to to songs and how they come on the beats and shit um chief keeps just with junk and turn like he was the first young turnt rapper i ever knew about like he was just well he wasn't the first that i knew about but i just loved his swag with it.

Yeah. Damn. You got some heavyweights on though. Yeah. All right. Damn. So let me ask you this. before you got your rapping voice, what was your voice like? By what you mean before my you have a heavy boy. What do you always feel like?

I had a heavy voice that was squeaky at the same time, okay? Yeah, like I ain't never just had no soft girl sounding voice you have When I first start rapping I you try to make myself sound like a girl Because I always feel like I hit a deeper voice high social media on a woman They be hard on us Social media be way hard on females than me you think so mm-hmm Because a nigga can be ugly as hell, but if he bumping they don't give a fuck. Oh my god. We love you Because a nigga can be ugly as hell, but if he bumping they don't give a fuck. Oh my god. We love you

Yeah, if they don't like a certain part of your body, they think you too skinny. They think uh, yo feet too big anything They just gonna talk about you all the time like they're like, oh you're female you supposed to be perfect Like they don't look down hold me into the big perfect standard. They hold women today So how does that impact you the body shame and to talk about your feet big or you you skinny you this you that does that impact you does that make you feel a certain type of way about yourself it don't make me feel no certain type of way like whatever i think about myself is what i think about myself like if i think i'm too skinny i'm gonna go to the gym and gain some weight if i think that not because they said it though whatever i do is because what my thought came it's never what nobody else see if. Whatever I do is something I want to do. It's never nothing nobody else made me do.

Oh, okay. That's what's up. So let me ask you this. You're 24, right? Mm-hmm. Go back. What would 24-year-old glow tell 18 year old glow? I would tell myself to keep the focus.
