I really personally, I don't care about hate comments, but I can see why when a thousand people are spamming a certain thing, you start believing in yourself.

Starting point is 00:00:13 And it's all about how you feel about yourself in your mind and manifestation. I mean, if you say like, read those comments, you reading it is giving it power in your mind.

You were nice, right? Top 40 back in the day. Yeah. him at a celebrity basketball game in Hika Hoop. Yeah. You were nice, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:00:45 Top 40 back in the day? Yeah, that was a couple years ago, man. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. I still hoop every day. So you really like that. Did you play in high school, college?

Starting point is 00:00:53 I played in high school. Okay. Yeah. You didn't want to play college? I thought that's what I was going to do with my life, but I mean, music came into my life and that really stopped everything. When did you get into music, Heavy? I've been doing it, I mean, my whole life, but really like taking it seriously when I was 16.

Starting point is 00:01:10 Okay. Yeah. And I know your dad was in the space too, right? Yeah, my dad was a big Persian composer and musician. He played with everybody, everybody, all the legends in the Persian industry. Wow. So did he kind of want you to get in the space or did it happen naturally? I mean, when I was growing up, like I was breeded to do this. Like growing up two years old, he would bring me to shows, have me meet everybody, play the piano and everything next, like me on his lap. But like I really stopped like I didn't do like no music from the age of probably eight to 16 until I had like a rough patch in basketball. And I really found myself through music. I came back to it myself wow I love that yeah rough patch because all the kids started getting insanely tall about right around 16 yeah I mean you know that's when you either make it or break it that freshman

Starting point is 00:01:55 sophomore year because people start growing like six inches in a year yeah how tall are you right now I'm about 5'11 ah you didn't round up I love it no everyone 5'11". Ah, you didn't round up. I love it. Everyone 5'11", always says 6'. No, that's corny. I think it's better to be 5'11", than be just 6' flat. Why? I mean, shit. I mean, at least I got 11 in there. It makes it sound a little taller than just, oh, I'm 6 feet.

Starting point is 00:02:14 You own up to it. I love it. You just started a team out here in the Lifetime League, right? Yes, Team Lit. We play every Wednesday, every other Wednesday, mostly. I got to see you guys in action. Yeah, we're good. We're getting good now. now we got all our players in the system and everybody's following the lead and shit nice why'd you choose vegas i mean my family moved out here when i was six so

Starting point is 00:02:35 i didn't really have a choice but i fell in love with it like i would probably never leave this place really yeah damn how's the music scene out here compared to other cities honestly in my opinion for a local artist it's 100 times harder because we're competing with like i say this all the time we're competing with all the biggest artists in the world every day they're all coming to dray's little baby drake the weekend everybody like so we have to compete with that every day we don't really have somebody in vegas that's the biggest which we can go to their shows so it's more difficult that's true yeah dray's has all the a-list uh hip-hop artists there yeah and all the clubs djs everything yeah you got the dj residencies you really don't have time to pop in there right yeah well i mean

Starting point is 00:03:13 you have time to pop in there but like let's just say you're doing an event the weekend's doing an event bieber's doing an event post malone like unless you're a top artist it's hard to get to that level because you're always competing with somebody that's already there. Yeah. So how do you even get gigs at a smaller level, right? It's tough. Yeah. It's tough, but it's doable. You just got to grind.

Starting point is 00:03:32 Right. What's the biggest crowd you've performed at so far? I mean, I'm blessed. Like, I got with some legends early and went on some big tours. So I'm blessed. I'm so far probably at 50,000. Damn. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:03:44 50,000? Yeah. It was a show in L 50 000 yeah it was a show in la it was a persian festival it was a big legend his name is doru she was hosting it and like someone who's like a really like a mentor like an older brother figure to me andy brought me out to perform our song together that we made for the persian community it was lit dude how nervous were you not at all like that's one thing with me like like that's why i feel like i'm truly meant to do this like i'll feel like right now sitting in front of you doing a podcast even though it's not record it's recorded it's not live i feel super nervous but like going on stage i never feel nerves wow so you're just in your element

Starting point is 00:04:19 on stage that's like my piece dude i love that did you realize that did you know it would take off this quick though because you're super young still. Yeah, I mean, I have a really great team around me that, and we really work hard, so. Yeah, you brought them here today, man. Yeah. I like that because a lot of artists, they surround themselves with just not the right people, you know? No, yeah. I try to definitely stay away from that.

Starting point is 00:04:40 Yeah, that leads to the downfall of a ton of them. Are there any artists you really look up to? I mean, I look up to everybody. I'm like a sponge. I could soak it in whatever anybody can think, anything I can get from anybody, like knowledge-wise. I like to listen to everybody and take a little bit of everything. I feel that any genre you cover. Hey, Prime members. Are you tired of ads interfering with your favorite podcasts? Good news.

I really do it all. I listen to rock sometimes, country music sometimes, but obviously my genre is really hip-hop and pop. That's what I grew up on. Yeah, and is that what you want to stay in or do you want to branch off ever? I mean, you never know.

Starting point is 00:05:48 Obviously, I want to do some Persian music too in the future, but hip-hop and pop is really i'll say my genre but yeah it's cool because you're starting to see artists branch off like taylor swift yeah do some new stuff yeah but the rap stuff man that i feel like they i don't know if it peaked but when i was in high school college that's all kids listen to dude oh yeah now too now i think it's in america for sure it's the leading um leading hip leading genre and it's hip-hop and it's still number one or not yeah for sure damn i didn't know that for sure, it's the leading genre is hip-hop in America. It's still number one or not? Yeah, for sure. Damn, I didn't know that. For sure. Wow.

Starting point is 00:06:10 Any collabs that you want right now on your list? I mean, I got a couple collabs that I'm trying to get cleared right now that are cool collabs. I can't really talk about it until they're cleared. But, I mean, everybody says, obviously, the GOATs. I mean, Drake. I mean, all these people i wish i wish i could have done a song with michael jackson that's probably my goat yeah yeah can't

Starting point is 00:06:31 top that you just had a listening party right yeah a couple days ago how'd that go are you interested in coming on the digital social hour podcast as a guest we'll click the application link below in the description of this video. We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to about business and life. Click the application link below, and here's the episode, guys. It was great. It was a good turnout. I had all the people that I wanted there. I mean, a lot of the true, true people in Vegas showed up,

Starting point is 00:06:58 a bunch of labels and stuff, so it was real nice. What goes down at those? I've never been to one, but I've been invited to a few. This one was different. I mean, it wasn't just like a regular listening party. I performed with my full band and everything. We did a couple songs on the album and just made it like a full show experience for like family and friends.

Starting point is 00:07:14 Sick. I love that. Was your family there? Your mom, dad and everything? Everybody. Everybody. Grandmas, uncles, aunts, J Banks, Dr. Ken, JD, everybody. Shout out to the squad.

Starting point is 00:07:24 Yeah. I love that. And your mom was a psychologist, right? Yeah, my mom was a psychotherapist. So that it still is. She still practices. She only has a couple of clients here and there, but she stays loyal to them. So and she's also my full time manager.

Starting point is 00:07:35 But like growing up with my mom being a psychologist and all that, like that's why I'm so big on mental health and really try to push that. And that's a powerful message, especially for people our age that are dealing with it it's at all-time highs right now anxiety depression all of that for sure i'd had my fair share of battles and i'm sure you did too right yeah for sure especially the industry we're in i mean it's hard yeah because you feel like there's a lot of pressure in your industry right trying to get numbers trying to get eyeballs and hit songs i mean pretty much like until you get to that level where you got so much money or not just money like you just don't care no more

Starting point is 00:08:10 like our life is based off of what other people think so it's hard not to like really fall down that path when you're you're playing your life based off of people's approval that's really what it is for sure because you could be so talented but if you're not getting the views you think you should be getting on instagram yeah you could just fall into a depression honestly no yeah and it's not just really the views it's just like even like hate comments i really personally i don't care about hate comments but i can see why when a thousand people are spamming a certain thing you start believing in yourself and then yeah and it's all about all about how you feel about yourself in your mind and manifestation i mean if you say like read those comments you reading is giving it power in your mind so wow yeah i used to i used to let them get to me a little bit years

Starting point is 00:08:54 ago but now i look at it i'm like dude i click on the profile it's like this guy like isn't dreaming as big as us like it's like you know what i mean you're doing great man i remember meeting you about a year and a half ago and we were we were at the game and and and then you're doing great danny you're just elevating every every every couple months i tap in and i see what you're doing you're doing great man appreciate that no i really do because yeah you were there before the pot even started yeah and uh i was doing great then financially but i wasn't impacting the world like I am now. So now I'm bringing on people like you,

Starting point is 00:09:28 share your story, and it's even more powerful in my opinion. Yeah. You know, these messages that are getting out there are crazy, dude. Yeah. Literally changing lives. And I feel like you're doing similar stuff with your music.

Starting point is 00:09:39 Yeah, and I love that. It's cool. We're on a similar journey, man. Yeah, for sure. I love it. And how old are you? I'm 19 i'm turning 20 this year god damn dude that's crazy you're super mature for your age i mean i was

Starting point is 00:09:52 raised right by the right people you must have trouble finding friends your age actually that's why i really don't have that many friends my age i have like my brother and maybe two or three people around me other than that all my friends like 30 and up some people look at me like it's a weird thing like why are you always hanging out with older guys like but it's really because i mean i'm trying to get knowledge like what like what is anybody my age gonna tell me that i don't already know i'm the same dude all my friends are like 30 35 40 some of them 50s yeah that's just what it is man i'd rather get that life experience as quick as i can i feel like when i was in school, people were dragging me down. Like, sounds arrogant, but, like, I just wasn't learning that much.

Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah, facts. We got, like, Jay Banks over here. He's 72 years old, but he done did everything in the world, man. He's been an outlaw, attorney, I mean, everything, man. This guy's a legend. And, like, just hanging around with people like that, man, you can just soak up the knowledge, man. It's all beneficial. Absolutely absolutely how'd you two get

Starting point is 00:10:47 connected i met him at the gym actually a different gym no way yeah i met him at a gym out here and i was like yo and i'm a troll so like i it's bad like i troll a lot of people just in public no camera just for fun but he was he trolled me actually i just his personality is so cool and he's an og man so ever since then we've been kicking it's been like five months we're going strong i love that it's cool to see you put yourself out there and just be willing to network wherever you are oh yeah for sure i'm the same way i've met some uh some dope people in the lifetime sauna actually oh yeah for sure that's lifetimes where it's at right now yeah dude because when you pay like a lot for gym most people don't want to do that but you're not realizing it leads to business opportunities it's not just yeah it's not just the gym part

Starting point is 00:11:28 i mean even people in our league dude there's guys in that league making 10 million dollars a year doing real estate there's some really cool people in that league yeah some gyms in la that are like even up to like two or three grand a month and people like and it's regular gym nothing special about them people like why why would anybody go there and And that's exactly why, because of the networking. If everybody there is paying two or three grand a month just for a gym membership, you know they're doing something successful. So you can get something from everybody in there. It's kind of like that's how the rich keep the rich rich.

Starting point is 00:11:56 And that's what the world is. That's the game. So you got to try to play by the rules. Yeah, you're paying for access. Did you have a drive for making a lot of money when you were a kid with me man honest to god like for me if i wasn't doing this making music and trying to live the lifestyle that i can honestly money isn't and everybody says this but money for me isn't important it's about being able to live my lifestyle comfortable and take care of the people i want to and that's what takes money so that's what drives me really wow yeah that's interesting for me it was money yeah I'm just being honest you're doing good so

Starting point is 00:12:29 no but it's shifted over time like I don't think I had an importance on family as much as you did growing up yeah because I grew up in a single parent household and I don't have any siblings and I didn't really talk to my cousins or aunts and uncles so it wasn't important but now that I'm in a deep relationship and I met her family i actually value family heavy yeah so my it's shifted for sure money's still very important though because you need that you really need it to change and inspire no it's tough to do that when you're broke 100 yeah so it's a balance you got to play do you go out to uh la a lot i really like i'm gonna get hate for this but i really don't like going to atlanta i'm the same way yeah i don't like it man i don't like it

Starting point is 00:13:12 for like long periods in and out yeah and just something with me just even the weather being out there man i get sick and stuff really i can only do three or four days out there i gotta come straight back damn you like that dry heat man yeah you're probably so used to it i'm so used to it and i grew up here yeah what about miami actually i haven't been to miami in a while i need to start going more often a lot of people try to get me to go out there for different stuff and i just i'm not a flight person really yeah do you drive everywhere i mean i flew like i had to go i did a movie in turkey this summer and that was a 17 hour flight there and back and i go to new york a lot lot, but I just don't like it. So if I don't have to go for work or something, I don't like to.

Starting point is 00:13:50 I think it's, what is it, DJ Khaled? He buses everywhere? Or is that someone else? I forgot who it is. I don't know. Some rapper. But what was that movie about in Turkey? It was a horror movie that I got the opportunity to play in.

Starting point is 00:14:01 It's a big horror movie, a Hollywood movie that's coming out later this year. It's called The Final Party. They're going to drop the trailer sometime soon, within the next to play in. It's a big horror movie, Hollywood movie that's coming out later this year. It's called the final party. They're going to drop the trailers sometime soon within the next month for sure. That's dope. Did you ever want to get into acting or just happened? No, it was random.

Starting point is 00:14:12 I mean, this amazing lady, her name is Lita. She hit me up on Instagram or she hit the management page up. And then she was like, Oh, we really want reason this movie. And at the time I was like,

Starting point is 00:14:22 man, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

Starting point is 00:14:23 I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

Starting point is 00:14:23 I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was the time I was like man a movie like I was super busy with stuff it was right before my last EP before this came out but then I was like you know what so I'm gonna do it why not what's the worst that could happen and it was the best experience like I definitely want to do that again it was really hard but it was a great experience and I want to definitely get into not only acting but directing I turned down an acting role I kind of regret it dude to be honest There's always time though

Starting point is 00:14:45 You're young Yeah yeah But it was dude It was a main role I've never acted before They sent me the script It was 160 pages I had to memorize it

Starting point is 00:14:52 I'm like Dude And it was only 25 grand For 6 weeks My script My script was like My script was 75 pages

Starting point is 00:15:00 Just my parts Were 75 pages Out of this whole script And I did not read it until the night before the um what the table read are you serious yeah the night before the table read i'm in turkey with my cousins and my team and we're all trying to read and practice my lines and i probably didn't learn my lines until the days that i was shooting i'll just be in my in my van just practicing the lines and go in and do it oh i thought you had to memorize all of it like months in advance well

Starting point is 00:15:22 every day you're shooting a different scene so they tell you what scenes you shoot that day. So you'll practice like your 15, 20 lines. And thank God it was a horror movie. So it wasn't too much talking. It was more like crazy shit. No, I was one of the bad guys. Oh, you were? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:34 That's funny. You were a little killer. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Acting, I think it can open a lot of doors. But I feel like these days A-list actors aren't even like people don't value their opinions as much as like just regular people.

Starting point is 00:15:46 It's lost its appeal almost. No, for sure. Because I used to look up to those actors, but now it's like you don't even know their personalities. Well, I mean, you look at everything with, like, podcasts and streamers and even artists are falling down due to streamers. I mean, streamers, they're killing it right now. And you get to watch them for, For like 8 hours Or 12 hours a day Versus seeing 8 seconds of an artist

Starting point is 00:16:07 Story post So like People are falling in love With their lifestyle And falling in love With their personalities Whereas yeah They still

Starting point is 00:16:13 It's two sides to it Cause really when you Don't see an artist that much That's what sells tickets Like the mysterious artists Like the people you don't Barely see that half Social medias

Starting point is 00:16:21 Their shows are always Sold out Versus the artists That are everywhere Their shows are a little bit less Cause you just see them everywhere i feel that there's two sides to it yeah the mysterious artists like uh frank ocean i'd say maybe even kanye they you just never know what's gonna happen yeah but the the bad thing is when like smaller artists and i deal with this myself upcoming artists try to act like that like that's kanye he can do that he can

Starting point is 00:16:42 delete his instagram he doesn't need that anymore like if we don't post on instagram for two months we fall off like we need to keep it consistent every day facts there's that pressure of always i'm like that too though if i don't post enough i feel like i'm people are losing interest because everyone's attention span is just so quick these days they'll forget you because social media is so big like yeah and i feel like you need a hit song at least once a year, right? Just to stay relevant in the space. Oh, yeah. Or you just got to have a really core fan base.

Starting point is 00:17:11 People that have a really core fan base, you only really need 10,000 real core fans that buy your merch, show up to your shows, buy the tickets. And with that, you can literally survive for the rest of your life being an artist. But it helps to have more. But if it's really 10,000 core fans that will buy every single month all that, you can be an artist for the rest of your life. an artist but it helps to have more but if it's really 10 000 core fans that'll buy every single month all that you can be an artist for the rest of your life damn i didn't know that that's pretty achievable i feel like in my head i thought it was more i mean those 10 000 artists are buying probably they say each each shirt you're selling is 80 i buy a shirt a month they'll buy your album buy a ticket to your show and whatever they'll they'll buy to subscribe to your instagram that's like 200 from eeg youie making like almost 80 grand like a month just off of that that's dope how old were you when the

Starting point is 00:17:49 your first song went viral 16 run them down was my first song that hit a couple million and everything it started going late in the city that was running down 16 bro that's super young did you know that one was gonna pop off i'm i, I was actually really upset because with that song, I used a YouTube beat. And then an amazing producer named Pyro had to come and remake the beat. And him and my dad remade the beat. And I was upset. And I was like, you know what? Let's just put it out.

Starting point is 00:18:15 And that song started going crazy. Wait, why were you upset, though? Because I wanted the original beat. I fall in love. The problem with me is I'm so impatient. Like when producers don't hit me up or nothing or like they're being or I don't like the beats

Starting point is 00:18:26 they send I'll just go find the beat that I want on YouTube and that's the worst thing because then you gotta go through getting it and most YouTubers like most YouTube producers

Starting point is 00:18:34 have all these clauses like you can only sell a thousand streams or ten thousand streams so you can never use the beat then you gotta change it and then it's a whole different song wow

Starting point is 00:18:42 so all the money went to that guy that made the beat basically if I would've put it out that's why we had to change the beat and i had my the producer that i had is like one of the best in the world like kanye bieber everybody i had my guy pyro shout out to pyro he came and remade the beat amazing which made it a hundred times better but i was just stuck in my head at that time what's your creative process i just had a 24k golden on last week and he was saying he picks

Starting point is 00:19:05 the beat first and then he writes the lyrics sure you have to i mean you can't write to something you don't know the beats the vibe the beat is everything you go off the beat interesting in my head i thought artists just wrote it down and then picked a beat but oh now you might write down a bar that you like you buy that shit sounds crazy i'll write it down maybe use it later if something comes to you but like you can't match a flow to a beat you gotta match your you can't match a beat to a flow you gotta match your flow to the beat so you you pick the beat and then from there go to the studio and you're just freestyling and see what sticks yeah now i freestyle everything a lot of artists some artists do right but that's the new wave is like kind of like freestyling in

Starting point is 00:19:41 the studio which isn't really me sitting down freestyling the whole song it's bar by bar like i'll say okay next line mumbling until you get a bar to come out damn yeah that is so cool yeah the days of just writing songs are gone then i guess yeah but it's still writing it's a different way of writing everybody i think almost probably 98 percent of everybody in the industry uses that style now. Wow. I didn't know that. Lil Wayne doesn't write down shit. No, that's the way he records. Just like that. Yeah. Everybody.

Starting point is 00:20:09 Tory Lanez. I mean, I imagine literally everybody now, that's how they record. Tory Lanez. Isn't he in jail? That was a weird example. Yeah, but I mean, he makes great music. You can't hate on the music. He does now, dude.

Starting point is 00:20:20 He's got some bangers. I was upset. I don't know how many years he got, but hopefully when he gets out, he gets straight back to it. We'll see. It's one of the. That was a big inspiration for me musically. Yeah, Tori. Yeah, musically.

Starting point is 00:20:30 He's out in Vegas. He was out in Vegas a lot, so you probably got to meet him too. Oh, yeah. I was supposed to go on tour with him. Damn. Like before everything happened. That's crazy. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:39 That must have been kind of a low moment for you then because you thought you were going to blow up on tour with him and then. I had some personal stuff going on anyway so you know what it's literally like that's why i say like give all glory to god like that was meant to be like with his stuff that happened and his stuff that went on and literally if if it would have happened i had my own difficulties in my life and legal battles that i went through that it's not really public that it literally would have prevented me from going on that tour as well so Crazy. Same time. Legal battles at your age, man? God damn, you were growing up quick. Yeah, I had to grow up quick.

Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah, my first legal battle, I thought I was early, was at 21. And I, dude, I got agoraphobia. You know what that is? What is that? Fear of leaving your house. For real? So I was getting sued. And if it went to court, I would have lost everything and went bankrupt.

Starting point is 00:21:23 So everything was on the line. How'd you get through that? Ended up settling. I had to get a dog. No, through the fear. Oh, through the fear. Yeah. So, well, after I settled, it helped.

Starting point is 00:21:34 Yeah. So once I settled, I got a dog and I would try to take it on walks. But at first, if I walked, so say my house was right here and I took a right, I could walk about 10 steps without having a panic attack. If I went left, I would collapse on the floor. That's what agoraphobia is. It's the fear of leaving your house. Yeah, I'm proud of you for getting through that, man. That stuff is serious.

Starting point is 00:21:56 Like, a mental health, oh, this stuff is serious. Like, I didn't go through nothing similar to that, but, I mean, probably a year and a half ago, right when my music started going amazing. Like, not amazing, started, like, taking off. Like, I had this mental health struggle, which was a month long, which was not the same thing, but my home and my bed was my safe place. And every time I was anywhere else, I felt like I was, like, about to pass out, lightheaded, and I had to rush home. Like, I couldn't, like, I would go to the gym for an hour and have to come home right away. Damn. It was terrible.

Starting point is 00:22:23 Dude, that might have been a gore phobia. I went to every single doc, like, my mom go to the gym for an hour and have to come home right away. Damn. It was terrible. Dude, that might have been a core phobia. I went to every single doctor, like my mom's a psychologist. I did that. But they were like, first, you got to go to everything. Make sure you have to get out of your own head because I'm thinking every day I'm dying. Like I have cancer. Something's wrong with me. Like I have a brain tumor.

Starting point is 00:22:36 Like I have heart problems. So I went to a heart doctor, brain doc, neurologist, everything. Like did literally everything. So I had to get myself out of it and then work on meditation and literally look at other people that dealt with this and got through it wow dude that's so relatable yeah i went to therapist i went to a heart doctor too i thought i was having a heart attack and it all came back negative and i'm like wait this is all mental you know i have no health problems so that's when i'm like all right let me get that fixed because yeah meditation and just therapy helped a lot yeah it's crazy though man how much your mind

Starting point is 00:23:09 can do to your body your mind is i think human brains is the most powerful thing on this planet like because anything that we're inventing is from the human brain so this is this has this invents almost anything besides the natural stuff that obviously you have to give all glory to god and still your brain you got to give glory to god but like the human brain like literally like you think of the best biggest technology in the world a brain invented that that's true even ai was invented by the brain exactly um did they try putting you on xanax and all that stuff too i didn't go that deep because my mom i i looked at different stuff and i told my mom, like, I don't want to be on nothing. So I was on the very little, like, very little anxiety pill.

Starting point is 00:23:48 Like, maybe, like, it was less than an allergy pill that they used as an anxiety pill. And I think for me, what it was was really me inside my own head. So that, taking that every day would make me think, okay, now I'm going to be good. So now I'm thinking good thoughts and now I'm more positive. Yeah, you become reliant on it. Not really reliant, but but like it it helps you it's the mindset of like if i tell you right now you're gonna drink this and you're gonna feel amazing but you feel like shit right now and you really believe that and you drink it your mind's gonna make your body feel better than you are right now yeah so it's really the the mental process of it yeah words are super powerful

Starting point is 00:24:20 man that's actually why i'm super picky what music i listen to now because it influences your subconscious thoughts yeah for sure so i used to listen to like all sorts of shit like talking about killing people taking drugs like just bad shit man and i look back at it i was in a bad state of mind back then yeah and it was partially not entirely but i think to do with music yeah but it's cool to see you with inspiring messaging in your songs. Yeah, and I'm guilty like everybody else of making party music and lit music, which has bad messages in it. But I try to like, I'm trying with my new music really like to be more honest and be more real and be more relatable.

Starting point is 00:25:00 And it's hard because people want that party stuff. That's what gets the views. So you got to play that game. And it's like that with social media too. I got to have on certain guests just to get eyeballs, even though, you know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. Certain adult actresses and whatever. Topics I don't really care about, but it gets eyeballs and you got to sprinkle them in there.

Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. Dude, what's next for you? What's next is I'm dropping like crazy this year. I mean, I went a whole year without dropping, dealing with some personal matters and the movie and everything. But I'm dropping like crazy this year, and I'm going to get on a crazy tour. I have two or three options right now that are in the works. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:25:37 It's just a matter of me deciding which one's right for me. I'm going on a big artist tour and do that. You're dropping an album this year? Yeah, I just dropped this one. And my goal, honestly, is to drop at least two more this year. Damn, three albums in one year? Yeah. That's hella.

I'll bump it out on the way home. Is it on Spotify? Yeah, it's on all platforms. All right, dope. I'll check it out, man. I'll text you which one I like the most. For sure.

Starting point is 00:26:10 Anything you want to close off with? Nothing. Just stay. I'm staying blessed and just stay around the right people, man. That's the biggest thing. And manifestation is also the biggest thing. Like, I speak stuff into existence. And whatever you say to yourself and say out loud,

Starting point is 00:26:25 JD and me were talking about this earlier today, that's going to come true. Like, if speak stuff into existence and whatever you say to yourself and say out loud, JD and me were talking about this earlier today, that's going to come true. Like, if you tell yourself, I can't do this, you're never going to be able

Starting point is 00:26:30 to do something. Absolutely. Thanks for coming on, man. Of course, man. Thanks for having me. Absolutely. Thanks for watching, guys. See you next time.
