How the Fuck Is This A Mixtape? How the Fuck Is This A Mixtape? I just don't understand. But it's on the label, God damn it. Nigga done toast it to himself. I ain't never seen that. You know what I'm saying?

I appreciate you. So let's explain to a person like me, when we dropped the mixtape, that was the opposite of what it actually meant. It meant that this is when we step outside the label. Right, right, right. But this is a mixtape That is on the label Yeah

Yeah the label's adopted that now For sure Yeah yeah for sure Yeah yeah Yeah yeah So can you explain to people Like for my generation Yeah

I mean really Really the whole The whole mixtape part of I was really working on an album You know what I mean Which I'm still following Right up with that motherfucker That's what

You know what I mean Motherfuckers probably don't know You know what I'm saying But the fact that me Calling it a mixtape Is more so Cause it's it's that raw shit. It's me. I feel like I ain't put my heart in this shit for so long.

I kind of fell out of love with this shit. And, you know, I took some time, got back around. So it's like, it's more of a reintroduction of me to the fans. Like, I'm really on some shit. Like, my mindset is like, I don't know how the fuck I'm going to pay my rent next month type shit. You get what I'm saying? I'm on that.

Like, when it comes to the grind, fuck I'm going to pay My rent next month Type shit You get what I'm saying I'm on that Like when it comes to Like the grind How I'm marketing this shit It's like I ain't I ain't went Diamond with a song before You get what I'm saying I ain't eight time Grammy nominated

None of this shit Like I'm coming like A nigga trying to Trying to make it out still You get what I'm saying That's my approach So that's why I definitely put the mixtape

You know what I mean The stamp on there With it being a mixtape But I still release this shit You know what I mean As if it was a full body of work. None of my full-length projects, I don't even think, have 14 songs on them.

You get what I'm saying? So I really, you know, I got tired of doing that like three songs at a time. Should've dropped a single that I know I can make go crazy in the clubs or whatever and, you know, generate some motherfucking shows or whatever and just chase some paper. I'm like, nah, fuck that. Let me goddamn, you know, let me give them me, you know what I mean? Unf or whatever and just chase some paper. I'm like nah fuck that

Let me goddamn you know let me let me give them me you know I mean unfiltered Unapologetically and I covered all bases on that bitch I'm saying check all the boxes and put that bitch out there good dope gonna sell itself And it gives you like freedom when you call it a mistake Exactly you know and that was one of the things that really made me you know I'm saying lose touch with this shit and kind of Begin the goddamn and I ain't really fucking With this shit right now Like all the politics That come with it In the business You know when the business get

Don't look Don't get me wrong I don't take it for granted Because the business was big So when the business big You get what I'm saying It's factors that come into play And you know

And as a hustler In any avenue You got to respect the game You got to know You know what I'm saying What come with this shit You know what I'm saying You know so as I navigate

Through this shit And adjust more than anything Like adjust to the Okay okay This is how this shit go You know what I'm saying? And, you know, so as I navigate through this shit and adjust more than anything, like adjust to the, okay, okay, this is how this shit go. You know what I'm saying? I'm a household name now. Like, I'm a global artist. I get 400 a show.

Nigga, I can't just, I can't just goddamn, you know what I mean? I go anywhere. I done been, not even I can. I done been all across the world. These niggas can't speak a word or a language. You know, every one of my songs, you know what I'm saying? Pass out, drop dead if they see me.

So it's like, you know, I got to understand, you know, the power in that. And you know every one of my songs, you know what I'm saying? Pass out, drop dead if they see me. So it's like, you know, I gotta understand, you know, the power in that, and you know how I gotta maneuver, you know, if I wanna keep getting money that way. You know what I'm saying? Just like any other game. If a nigga selling dope, you get what I'm saying? Once you start getting a certain amount of money,

there's certain shit you just, you know, you can't do if you wanna keep selling dope and getting money. Now you can, you could do you, but then you know you gonna get your ass sat down. We know how this shit go can. You can do you, but then, you know, you're going to get your ass sat down. We know how this shit go. You can get back out. They might, you know, still love you, but you just going to have to grind 10 times.

It's hard when you get back out. It's really the same thing. If the motherfucking music business was the dope game, nigga, I got caught with the bricks. You feel me? It's very close. I went sat out. It's been about five years. You get what I'm saying?

With just putting out Some bullshit Or throwing out a song And you know what I'm saying Playing the money game Throwing out a song That I know a catch right saying? Playing the money game, throwing out a song that I know a catch right now with the trends going on

and this and that and them saying that's enough for me. They know what I'm capable of. Exactly. They definitely held me to a certain standard and that's what,

you know, led me to got them sit back, reevaluate and deliver and I'm going to deliver and deliver. I'm going to stay on these niggas asses

just like I came in. Got it. Let me say something. You said something. Me and you were late so much. You probably don't even know. But through the course of this interview, I'm going to show you how much.

But you said something just now that I kept studying you. Knowing that you was coming up here. And you kept saying it. You kept saying it the same way I said it. But you don't know what you were saying. Right. You were saying,

I fell out of love with this shit. Nah, for sure. For sure. So let me just explain to you. Me, I fell out of love with this game, too. Yeah. And I fell out of love with this game in my height. Right.

After my first platinum album, I'm going to just go to it. I'm on my first single world tour. Yeah. My father dies while I'm on tour. Same thing here. Damn right. I know. No, listen to him.

After that, Pun dies. He's not my blood brother. Right. But he was like my first friend in hip hop. Right, for sure. So when I'm listening

to your story. Right, it's damn that lining all the way along the way. I'm looking like, yo, you said, you know, sometimes as an

older stakes man, you be scared to reach out to the youngins. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? Because you like, you know sometimes as a elder stakesman you'd be scared to reach out to the youngins you know what i'm saying you like you know nigga mike play play who i am or whatever whatever but that was the first time i swear to god i wish i had your phone number right so i forget where you was at i think you was on the radio station you was explaining the story yeah and the way you were saying it was like yo man what i'm going through and i was like i wanted to be like Nigga For sure man I'd have appreciated that

That would have been welcome You know what I'm saying I've been wanting to reach out to you Like I swear to God I can not see you at the club And it wasn't the time for that And I was like I looked

And leaned over to like And I was like you know what I'm going to see him again You know what I'm saying So let me just tell you something When my father died Chris Lighty came to see me Yeah

And I was on tour And he basically said Yo you paying for your pop's funeral So let me just tell you something. When my father died, Chris Lighty came to see me. Yeah. And I was on tour. And he basically said, yo, you're paying for your pop's funeral, but you got to stay on tour. Like, not in a gangster way, but in a way like your father would want that. You know what I'm saying? Like, you finally made it to where it's at. Yeah. And I had swallowed that shit up. I never grieved.

And then Punn died. So when I heard you say that shit Then when I heard you also say You fell out of love After that I dropped an album Called Melvin Flint Right But with Flint I had got all this upfront money

Yeah And I went in And I didn't have I didn't have the love for it But I had to admit that later For you to admit that At the young age that you are Right, right, right

Like you're fucking grown Like that shit is real For sure That's when I met with it like i'm relating to the same exact pain right for sure and i went through it before right but yo bro i promise you like that shit is crazy for you to admit yeah that at the top of your level yeah that i fell out of love like absolutely why what make you be so honest with your fans like that man i ain't it ain't i ain't got nothing left that i can do at this point.

You get what I'm saying? Because I ain't, you know, if I wanted to fake the funk anymore, I could have did that a couple years ago and been, you know, been trying to, hey, Norik, can I land a helicopter on top of this bitch? I don't drive cars anymore. You know what I'm saying?

But nah, man, it's like, you know, like morals and principles and above all that pain, all that shit, man, that shit real, man. That shit real deal, you know what I mean? And, you pain, all that shit, man, that shit real, man, that shit real deal, you know what I mean? You know, like I say, like I say when I had

conversations with other people, like on hindsight, I look at, you know, what a nigga that been through career wise, I look at that shit, it's a blessing now,

you know what I'm saying? I don't even say blessing in disguise no more. It's wide out in the open because I needed time to sit my ass down just like how you said, like you can relate,

okay, I can talk to somebody that can relate now right Right If it's If it's when you just went platinum When you boom When you bumping

You got so many different avenues You know what I'm saying With your hustle to goddamn Just you know distract you This is what we do And then we already Custom this shit Coming from the cloth

That we cut from anyway You get what I'm saying This is how it go You do for losses You do for this You do for that You got to juggle through it You got to keep hustling

You get what I'm saying So with that being said Like I'm the hottest artist In the world I got two three things To do every day I was doing three Four shows a day

You know what I mean Video after video I dropped In twelve My first twelve months As a mainstream artist I dropped three projects The first one had

Shug The first one was Baby on Baby It had all that on it Then it was Kurt Number one album Then the one after that Had Rockstar on it

Number one album Yep So that's how that had Rockstar on it, number one album. And Kirk was named after you before? Yep, that was it. So that's how I paid my father, the executive producer. See what I'm saying? You see how crazy this shit is?

I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I've been wanting to connect with you for a long time, but yo, that's crazy, man. Nah, that's love, man.

That's dope to connect right now. I know what you're going through because you ain't never going, and you know, did he get to see your success? He did. He just saw it and then got, you know, and shot, like my last text I got from him is him, you know Did he get to see your success He did Like he just saw it And then got

He didn't believe me. He got to hear it. I ain't get to see him after I dropped it. I ain't get to see him. It was maybe like a week after. You know what I'm saying? Then he passed. My little brother called me and told me, god damn it, he passed. They found him.

They found him dead at his crib. You know what I mean? Right. So, like, me dropping Kirk, that was my way of honoring him and carrying the last name. I had already, he really had already told me I did it. And that was the thing. Like, that was when it came to, like, my pops and it being at that point in their life. Like, I was able to goddamn, you know, cope with that a little bit more because I went and did.

You know, that's all a man want for their goddamn son. And kids, period, to goddamn see him go goddamn. Come on now. You get what I'm saying? So I was, you know, with know with that I'm still you know Fucked up about it But at the same time It's like

At least he got them Got the C's Got them first born son Do that You know what I mean Nah for sure He ain't having a smile on his dad On my box

Drinking Heineken Thanks Thanks I swear to you man Sorry to reiterate that Nah it's all good It's all good We talked conversation

It's so bad I forgot who I thought Was managing you at the time Yeah And you know i messed up because i wanted to keep pursuing and i was like you know what but yeah man um so another thing that i see is you saying like you kind of don't fuck with the industry right um is that still i mean it's cool okay well when you say industry what you mean like you know the people that you

know participate in this you know i i i haven, you know, participate in this, you know, I haven't. You know it. You know exactly. I know exactly what you mean when you say industry. Because I'm acting like you ain't got nothing to do with this shit. No, I don't. I don't. You know what I'm saying?

I don't. And it ain't even like, don't fuck with the people in the industry. But just, you know, just the way that you, you know what I'm saying? The system that's in place and, you know, and how they got it set up to where, you know, just the way that you, you know what I'm saying? The system that's in place and, you know, and how they got it set up to where, you know, you got to maneuver a certain way in order to. That's what it's made for. Yeah, you feel me? So, you know, I'm kind of, like, my DNA, like, the way I'm set up just as an individual, period. You know, it's going to conflict with that.

I'm not, you know, I don't follow the cool kids club. I'm not, I ain't never been on none of that. You know what I mean? That ain't even how I came in. You know what I'm saying? I can't never even cool kids club. I ain't never been on none of that. You know what I mean? That ain't even how I came in. You know what I'm saying? I can't never even see myself adjusting to that. When I'm in this bitch, if I link with a motherfucker, I'm trying to get to, okay, what we doing? You know what I'm saying?

My whole first year, and I'm just about everybody want to get up with me the way I got them had it rocking, but I was never on no, oh, I just found a friend. You know what I mean? That's what I'm doing. Yeah, this is my, you know, oh, I just found a friend, you know what I mean? That's what I'm doing. And yeah, this is my, you know, whoop-de-whoop. So, yeah, and long story short, no, I don't fuck without it. Yeah, all that extra shit. But don't shut down everybody.

I don't fuck with what you got. Because that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm trying to clarify. It ain't like, fuck everybody in the goddamn, no. But it's just like motherfuckers who don't understand it, you know, that you can still thrive. Like, I got here being myself. Like, you feel me?

I got to the top being myself. You dig what I'm here being myself Like you feel me I got to the top Being myself You dig what I'm saying Like I got all the way To the top being myself So it's like You know for motherfuckers That don't understand

That you don't gotta get To a certain level You don't work this hard Make all these sacrifices Lose all these people Along the way That you could've gave More of your time to

Along the way All this shit You don't do all this shit It's okay Even though it's unusual That's the thing These niggas ain't It's completely unusual It's strange the motherfuckers But like You don't gotta do all that shit. It's okay. Even though it's unusual. That's the thing. These niggas ain't, it's completely unusual.

It's strange, the motherfuckers, but like, you don't got to do all that and goddamn, you know, be controlled and follow,

you know, what somebody else goddamn feel like their path is for you or whatever. Yeah, I'm marketable as hell, right? Yeah,

I'm goddamn, yeah, I can make music that can top the pop charts. You get what I'm saying? I got songs with this Latin artist, this artist from the UK,

this artist, this artist. Like, I, every motherfucking category, you know what I'm saying? Every box you can check, I check that bitch, you know what I'm saying,

within like 12 months prior to COVID even hitting. It's nothing short of a blessing. But it's like, motherfuckers got to understand, like, even though it's unusual, you know, you might want to come to terms.

Like, I'm just, you know, I just simply had the ability to do that shit and still be myself. You get what I'm saying? I ain't got to, you know, you might want to come to terms. Like, I'm just, you know, I just simply had the ability to do that shit and still be myself, you get what I'm saying? I ain't got to, you know, flip the shit all the way over and become a different person. But also, that's for me to understand. And that's where I'm at with this shit, too.

You know, I'm in a season to, like, hold myself accountable. So it's up to me to understand, nigga, because I know how to play the game anyway. Like, that's how I got here. Like, I know how to play the game. So it's up to me to know when to cut that shit off still that I got in me. Nigga, play the game. Get the money. You know what I to cut that shit off Still that I got in me And nigga play the game Get the money

You know what I'm saying Maneuver through You know Shake the hands Kiss the babies But I still ain't finna Shake your hand I ain't finna kiss your baby

That ain't It's simple bro Like you know So my boys just gotta Understand that And it's up to me to You know To lean towards the motherfuckers

Who celebrate me for that And who honor that And respect that And not to never get lost In the sauce And feel like I owe it to the motherfuckers who hating on a nigga anyway

to begin to give out my attention and shit to them and start making songs about the fuck niggas and the haters and the niggas that don't get this shit.

It was never for them anyway. That's why I can run into real niggas years later and goddamn it be like, nigga, I've been wanting to bump into you likewise. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like, yeah, man. So word of advice to any other artist, whatever, you know, if you have the motherfucking the the pleasure if you blessed enough to be able to get to a certain level to where it requires you to you know to where it's opportunities for you to to go a different route than than what you you know than what you know you know a different

route than what you was raised in to get way more money or to do this or to do that you know take your time Navigating through that shit Don't let motherfuckers Set you off And you know And just making Impulsive decisions

And goddamn And throw yourself All the way off your rocker It's a much smoother way To stand on business You ain't got to do it The way I did it You see what I'm saying

Yeah It's all good You know what I want you to do though Yeah Always keep an open eye Because Yeah Sometimes

Like you know Sometimes A person will come to you A person will come to you And be industry dude though yeah always keep an open eye because yeah sometimes like you know sometimes a person will come to you a person will come to you and be industry and be all but be a real nigga at the end of the day you understand what i'm saying so like absolutely and i had a pleasure running and a few of them two of my best friends they always say you know don't be friends with nobody in jail i got two best friends that i've been friends with for 25, 30 years, maybe even 35 years that I've met in jail. And then I got two other niggas

that I met in the industry that, you know what I mean? Now, everybody ain't it. But, you know, I noticed that pun when I first met Pun. I was on some, I didn't want to meet nobody shit. And he was like, you Puerto Rican? And I was like, yeah. And he was like,

well, you going to be my friend. Take this ice cream off. And I laughed at me and him being friends ever since. I mean, God bless the dad. So I always want you to keep that open mind because I can tell you have a good soul. I can tell you have a good spirit. One thing for sure, two things for certain. Every time

I seen you, you smiled. For sure. You know what I noticed about that? That's a nigga you don't wanna fuck with Cause he's protecting his peace Nah for sure man That's all I be trying to do That's all I be trying to do It's hard to talk about you

When you're not here I can tell Anything that you ever got into Them niggas fucked with you Nah for sure I can tell Because your smile Is too genuine

Like when a nigga Smile like that You like Leave me the fuck alone Nah facts facts, facts. Let me do my little one too, you know what I'm saying? Is that the truth?

That ain't nothing but the truth. That ain't nothing but the truth. You ain't tell not one lie. Not one lie, man. That's what it is. And I feel like, you know, a part of that, like, the way a nigga smile,

the way a nigga carry himself, a nigga not being too tough for himself all the time, I feel like, you know, that also attract them type niggas that feel like that's something that, man, that's something I can kind of probably, I could probably get something out of playing with that. You know what I mean? And then that lead to, you know, they also attract them type niggas that feel like that's something that, man, that's something I can kind of probably, I could probably get something out of playing with that. Right.

You know what I mean? And then that lead to, you know, all the type shit that they lead to. Right, right. You know what I mean? Then one time they try to make you check in and you stop. Oh, man. Stop. Stop.

Don't check it in. Yeah, nah, man. Lucky I ain't. So I was in the middle of shooting a music video and shit. I was in the A. I was in Atlanta. But I had on like basketball shorts or something. This was before I even popped.

So I had on like basketball shorts, like a basketball jersey and a thermal on up under it. Some regular shit. Dope boy swag type shit. But I had on basketball shorts. So I had to put my gun in the car. It would have fell down. You know what I mean? And then my brother, he was with me. We was just too deep You know what I mean? And then my brother, he was with me.

We was just too deep out there at the video shoot. But my brother, he was with me. We had ordered some pizza. It was like a Domino's right at the end of the neighborhood, right outside the neighborhood, like right as you're turning in, Domino's out there. We had ordered it. The shit was ready.

So, bro, I had Jesse. I'm about to go grab a piece. All right, cool. I wasn't tripping no way. Now, I did have, I still had another gun. I'm from North Carolina, by the way. And I'm not a felon. So I'm from North Carolina. I'm not a felon. So we allowed to, you know, any gun that I

mention, I'm allowed to have that. It's a little gun. Yeah, I'm allowed to have that. I'm allowed to put it on you, too. He knows his rights. Nah, for sure. So even that one, I had it like right, if you see, I was on the porch. It was like a little end table right there on the couch right inside the door. So I had another one right if you see I was on the porch It was like a little end table right there in the couch right inside the door

So I had another one right there, but I wouldn't panic no mine And I ain't really feel you know if I'd have felt it was there I mean if I'd have felt it was that I would have grabbed up to see that was my love pocket rocket That's the one I used to sneak in the club hide behind the iPhone hold the phone like this type shit You know I'm saying you got you got one you one You got one of them Let me see it I can show them Nah nevermind We ain't gotta do all that It's in Florida

but a.388. Okay. You know what I mean? We just probably had like six shots. But long story short, what I'm saying is, if I would have had

the other gun that goddamn Brad just pulled off with, yeah, I would have had them niggas running. It would have been even more of a viral video.

I would have sent them niggas running up the street. But I still, you know, posted up. It happened how it happened. I posted up and stayed out there, bitch, intentionally.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,

and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.
