Starting point is 00:04:11 How'd you start going into fashion? Because I see you at Paris Fashion Week, you got all these high, you know, these big celebrity fashion shows that, you know, with the biggest people. So how'd you get into fashion? Man, I feel like I always love fashion. I love the fashion like coming up. I always love the fashion. So as I started progressing in music,
Starting point is 00:04:32 I just started reaching out to different fashion houses and different brands and trying to collaborate. You know what I'm saying? Put that shit on. What's your favorite brands? Rico, what's your one now? They were brands. Protopes.
Starting point is 00:04:49 My boy, Jayden Smith, just did the collection with Christian Littleton. So I like that connection. Definitely, yeah, I've seen that. You got some dope stuff going on.

Starting point is 00:05:18 All right, cool. We got plug-work three times platinum. Yeah, no. They ain't updated. They got updated. for you down. Hold on, man. He said the numbers is off, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:28 He said that's, that's . The numbers is all, man. I don't write this shit. I know you, I know you went double platinum, because I know you was on. So it's probably what, what would you say? I don't know. It was three times flattened them.
Starting point is 00:05:40 You look it out? I was my joint right there, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Plug walk was a very big record. Freezer. What freezer do? Man, it's not updated either. Interscope.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Come on, man. Get the numbers right, man. Yeah. since 2019. Damn. So they got some out there. So tell us what it was like making these two big records, because you got plenty of big records. One thing we know you know for is making hits.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Your new single out now is crazy too. Appreciate it, right. Talk about what's the process in the studio when you started making music at what age, because I know you blew up at like 18, 19. Yeah. You got to go from the beginning because a lot of people don't even know you was with QC first, right? Right? And then you kind of like brand stuff and really kind of did your own thing, though, and
Starting point is 00:06:29 it was successful. Because a lot of that don't happen sometimes. Like you being down with a label that's that big or then the artists go do their own thing. It don't always end the way you might want it to end. But, you know, it wasn't too crazy like that, like that, but you wouldn't do your own thing. It was like turked that shit up, man. Talk about that.
Starting point is 00:06:45 I didn't even know he was on QC. Yeah. Oh, so that's where the song with the Migos come from? No, no. No. I was over to Migos before QC was like a thing, type of thing, you know. We was collaborating on a couple projects, like some mistakes we were doing. But yeah, I signed with QC.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Like, well, actually, Migo signed with QC first. And they, like, they got an idea. But I was at the career with them, like, in the process. So I was kind of like, I was kind of hurt. I was like, y'all nigg got a deal. Y'all left me at the house. That's messed up. I got a living nigga at home.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I heard you. Heard you. But a couple, like a week later, I got a call from Pee. Like, yo, I'm trying to sign you. But I hear you be finessing and shit. You're funny. Show up to Pete. He said you'd be finessing.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Yeah. He said, how do you be finessing and shit? They told me you be finesse and shit. But I'm trying to give you a deal. I'm like, oh, yeah. I need two things. I need a check right now. now and I need my engineer to pull up with me so shout out the Tilly oh look at that okay so that's um
Starting point is 00:07:59 that's how that went so i signed with QC i was probably signed with that was like two years or something like that but you know i feel like at the time their main priority was the amigos okay so i was like i want to get the same looks that they gained in time you know what I'm saying so i was so We kind of bump heads. And I was like, you know, I just, I want to do my own thing. You know what I'm saying? So I packed up all my clothes from Atlanta and I got on a plane and I moved to L.A. So what makes you give you this thought processes in young age?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Like, yo, all right, cool. I want to be the main priority on this label. You're right, though, because not even the main practice. No, I'm just saying what I'm just saying. Because most artists would just stay like, damn, I'm going to just wait my turns. Exactly. Yeah. Man, I feel like, honestly, it was like, okay, so before I signed to QC or before QC came in a picture with Amigos or anything, it was like a team thing.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Like, we were working together. I had an account on live mixtapes, and I would, I would, like, act as a DJ, and I put all my songs on the mixtape with Migo songs and Future or fucking whoever's the hottest artists. artists and I kept on dropping tapes like that and all the DJs you know what I'm saying and they were tapped in with me and shit like that so I already knew I knew
Starting point is 00:09:30 what it would take to get there you know what I already knew I know what it takes so the process is not moving with me I was signed and I was like okay I see they should take it off but you know I need to do my thing so I moved to L.A. and shit and then
Starting point is 00:09:47 P QC won like $500,000 for me. He got out the deal. Damn. Did you even make them $500,000 at this song? I never dropped any music on any streaming platforms at that time. I think I dropped like two songs. I ain't dropped nothing.
Starting point is 00:10:07 All my shit was on SoundCloud and shit. But when he asked me for the $500,000, now I think I had like $4,500 in my pocket. Man. Did you feel a little fucked up? Like, Dad, not shit you want that? You fucked a little fucked up. What you mean?
Starting point is 00:10:20 A little fucked up? You said he had 4,500. You want one and a half a million. Yeah, I was... So what the fuck did you do? Oh, it's a crazy story, man. It's a crazy story. Who did you borrow, my nigger?
Starting point is 00:10:33 No, no. Who did you finesse? They called you the finesse a nigger. So, no, who did you finesse to get this $500,000? Yeah, it's a crazy story. So somehow, right... That's somehow. In my phone...
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah. I have the... the context I had to like I don't know what happened but I got locked up on time and I think I plugged my phone somewhere or something
Starting point is 00:10:59 and I got somebody else contacts in my phone so if you look at my phone I got Molly Cyrus number Frank Ocean I had Kanye number before I even met him
Starting point is 00:11:11 I had I don't know how to fuck that's fucking crazy that's a crazy story somebody's like that you had all these people numbers in your phone? You're in my phone. At the time, P.X. But it's half a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:11:25 So what happened next? Okay. So look. But I don't know, I don't know how I got the context. But like last year, I found out it was Cortez Bryant context. Yeah, definitely. But
Starting point is 00:11:38 so at the time I had no money, so I got on the context and I just started calling labels. I'm like, Capital Records. Yeah, this rich kid. I'm trying to get a deal. call damn Universal you know this person kid I'm trying to get a deal
Starting point is 00:11:54 just calling everybody That's crazy Until shout out to Manny Smith Manny Smith answered my call He's like He's like Oh you're trying to get a deal Come down to Iniscope office

Starting point is 00:13:05 Oh things have changed. Don't be able to something. He said oh half things have changed. So I'm like yeah I ain't got no bread and so when he disarranted research he said I hope you know that you're actually signed to 300 also so I was signed to 300 and I didn't know about it oh look at that so and they wanted 300,000 dollars to get

Look at that. Yeah, first week. Look at that. Okay. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Look at that. Now, I know that's so it's probably seven, eight million. Like, freeze it was a monster record. It's a crazy journey, though, just to have, to get some, yeah, to get some contacts and all that shit by action and just to call and forth to work out like that. That was God's work, man. Yeah. That's crazy. You've got a crazy story, bro.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I still, to this day, don't know how I got the context, but I was trying to figure out whose contacts they were. So I was like, one day I was actually out here and I'm like, how I find out. I typed in mom and called the person's mom. And then she was like, I was like, yo, you got somebody in the music industry, your son or something? She was like, yeah, it's Cortez Bryant. He's, I managed little Wayne.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Oh, that's how I got it. Well, I don't know how because I never met him, right then, so. I'm never heard that somebody get a deal like that, but that's crazy, man. That is crazy. That is crazy. That is meant to be. You can't. It was just meant, man.
Starting point is 00:15:01 So when you dropped Freezing, it's a hit record. I know Interscote was obviously excited because, oh, shit, he has a head. Yeah. How did you feel? Oh, man, I was ecstatic. It was crazy. It was, I think it was like the second song I dropped with, um, with Interscope.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And like four weeks after I had the song out, I recorded Plug Walk. Well, I came to them. I was like, yo, I got the song Plug Walk, and I would like to drop it. They're like, no, no, slow down. You just dropped the song, a hit record last month. I was like, yo, I feel strong about this record. Like, I fuck with this one. And they didn't want to drop it.
Starting point is 00:15:41 So I kind of argued them down, like, yo, let's drop it. And then they dropped it and then I think it went platinum in like 27 days. Yeah. Congratulations on that year. Definitely. Pleggawawful. Crazy. Got some boogers in there.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Show them that, that murder that diamond and this is it, man. I got a fucking snigger, you got one another one too, man? The fuck. The nigga blind to me with that motherfucker. How many characters that bitch, man? I have no idea. Wish the kid got some fucking money, man. Shout out to Interscope and them platinum record.
Starting point is 00:16:12 open them platinum records. So it seemed like you was business-minded starting the game because you had your own label. You talk about that. You're Christian Famous Dex, right? Yeah, so actually before I signed to Anoscope, I signed Famous Text and I got with 300 and I did like a label deal with them.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Wow. Yeah. So talk about that a little bit. What made your song? Oh, you want to going back to 300. Yeah, I ended up going back to the year. Okay, because I ended up, I met Lior. So I ended up calling the Nior.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I'm like, yo, yeah, Leior, I need a deal. And I'm, I'm trying to think, I'm not sure if it was before or after I signed Winterscope, but I know I called Leor and I was like, yo, I got an artist on the sign. And then they instantly was like they was down to do it. It was dope. And where did you find J. Critch? He's from Brooklyn, right?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Yeah. Shut of my boy, Grahams. I'm like, shout to my boy, Graham's right. Oh, I ain't shout at the Green. Yeah. Come on, Brooklyn. That's right, baby. Queens in the building, too.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Queens too. I'm surprised my boy thugging the bugging with you, man. My boy is Viking. It's a Queens name with that boy with Risks to kid too. Queens, man. Queens for a rocker. Said out to my God, biking. Shelt the player.
Starting point is 00:17:32 So we're famous, any famous deck from somewhere else though? Yeah, he's from Chicago, right? Yeah, yeah. I've just been seeing him online. I see him online. I see him online everywhere. At one point, I was like, man, this little little nigga is entertaining as fuck.
Starting point is 00:17:48 I DM remember in there. You've phasedime and I flew him out. You had the whole project with NBA young boy, right, man? How that came about, man? Man, just working a lot, you know what I'm saying? We were doing a lot of records. And then I think I think, I think I remember he was locked up and he called me he was locked up he called me he was like
Starting point is 00:18:18 yo bro when I get out we got to drop this album was like five so um when he got out I flew to Ban Rouge and then um I sat down for a couple weeks we got cooked up got you he kicked up up up there in Ban Rouge then when he was able to move um I think we finished the project in LA and lay I think it was at um I think it was at um Jason DeRuea got a studio that he had booked out to us. Okay. So we finished it over there. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, that's my brother. How do you be business-minded at such a young age? Usually when artists are getting the money, they're getting the females, they're driving the cars. You're not thinking about starting your own label like Rich Forever you did in 2016. It's like you was ahead of the game to be a CEO, not just an artist. Where does that come from? Definitely from being a hustler, you know. But I also think seeing what P was doing,
Starting point is 00:19:13 signing artists, you know what I'm saying? I just left. Like, I just had to get this nigga $500,000. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, shit. So you were soaking in that game from P? Would you ever do that to an artist, though, man? Would you ever do that to an artist?
Starting point is 00:19:26 Asked up for $500,000? Yeah. You never know. Oh, man, yeah. Yo, Jay Critch, watch this nigga, man. Watch this nigga, man. Yo, Chris, you got to watch this nigga. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:37 He's a genius for that, man. He's sitting up, he's sitting up good with the millions, man. You got to watch this, man. No, it's dope. So you soaked in that game from P, C. I never knew you sound of QC. That's crazy. You know, he's a genius.
Starting point is 00:19:54 He had fucking Migos, city girls, little baby. The list goes on and all. You know what I mean? Pee, you don't understand. So then you just started learning everything while. You was watching them. You one of them niggas that soaking that. game. That's what you're telling me. Because you was young to have your own rich
Starting point is 00:20:13 I was like probably like you know, inspired of course watching what he was doing, you know what I'm saying? Even though we were bumping heads, I was still, you know what I'm saying? Like, like, like, nigga, getting young niggas out the hood and making it happen. So I was dope. No, I got to respect that. How was it like from artists to CEO? Why was that, like transitioning? Um, shit, I felt like just having to Good team of my boys around me, Grahms, Ralph, Marshall, it's all my people's things. I think we just had to learn and adapt to the changes as it went, you feel what I'm saying? It's not like, it was not like we sat there and we planned, okay, this is how we're going to do it,
Starting point is 00:20:54 we're going to get a big label, you know what I'm saying? I feel like, we just had to adapt, like, oh, shit, you want to sign this, let's do it. So, yeah. I wasn't working with Lil Wayne, man. You know, he considered one of the goats that hip hop music. Shout to Little Wayne. He is a goat, man. Man, amazing, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I never thought I was, like, we'd be doing an album with Lil Wayne when I was young, listened to his music and listening to the mixtapes, his albums. Like, right, I was like, number one. That was in the studio working together on a lot of his stuff. Yeah, it was in studio working together on a lot of that shit. So, yeah. And that's crazy because you're not just doing like one-off songs. You're doing whole albums.
Starting point is 00:21:35 That's how you know they respect. how you know they respect him. Almond with NBA Young Boy. Alvin with William. Like, where the fuck does that come from? I know you got hits, but you know, like, what the fuck? Like, you just hear, you never really hear artists doing that too much. But I know you had the one with NBA Young Boy, but I didn't realize you had one with Wayne, too.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Yeah, yeah. Man, I don't know, just, you know, having good relationships, you know. So, like, Wayne, that's like big bro, you know what I'm saying? He's skateboard, I skateboard, you know, just made sense. You know, it just made sense. Definitely. What's you doing when you made your first million dollars? And how old was you?
Starting point is 00:22:12 I did a backflip. The thing you said I did a backflip. What the fuck? What did you do, man? What did you spend? I'm serious. I don't even know how to... I'm serious, I did a backflip, nigga.
Starting point is 00:22:29 No, I know you did a backflip. I believe that, nigga. After the backflip, what? I believe that, dude. Because you was, what, 20-year? I mean, fucking, you had to pay P back 500. You had to pay fucking 300 back 300. That's 800 right there.
Starting point is 00:22:43 But I know you was like, you were playing with money at that time. I think my first meeting was like when I did like a pub deal. It was like right after I signed Interscope, then I dropped a new freezer. Then I dropped PlugWalk 27, like a month after. So they're like, oh yeah, this thing I'm playing. Yeah. They're going to snap. They're going to snap.
Starting point is 00:23:04 They're gonna snatch buddy up. That shit was like, you know, you heard plug walking, freezing on the radio constantly, constantly, constantly. Yeah, yeah. Constantly. And that Interscope machine is a good machine to be behind. And then you came with your own label. So I always looked at you as like, yo, he's smart. He's getting a lot of fucking money.
Starting point is 00:23:24 And he's keeping himself relevant for fucking, what, over 15 years now? Because you started your label in 2016? Damn. About 15 years, yeah, yeah. Well, 10 years, whatever. But he still had records before that. So we're talking about to be full. He may be rolling for me.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Like he said, he was creative. He was a fucking DJ on the app. They didn't even know who he was. He was pulling out records. But for him to be 19, 20 to fucking get them contacts. I don't know how he got that. I still think he can't tell us everything. That's why he said he's a finesse.
Starting point is 00:23:57 You got to pay attention. Nigger said Pete caught him a finesse. Right. He just happened to get a nigga context. Fennessa. Niggas said I was calling Molly Cyrus. He keeps in. Capital records.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I don't know how I got this shit. That's the Finesse talking, nigga. That's what I'm saying. It's like, you know, I had the phone at Molly Cyrus number of capital records in the school. What the fuck? That's how you got your deal? That's crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I still got the same content, look. That's why people are the Fonnesa. That's why people called him to Fonessa. You are the Fennas. But I still got all the contacts still. That shit crazy. Typing anybody names. Molly Cyrus, all of,
Starting point is 00:24:43 nigger. That's crazy, nigga. Damn. That's crazy, bro. The finesse, man. So what's it like working in the studio
Starting point is 00:24:58 with NBA young boy and little Wayne? What's that like? You know, NBA young boy kind of crazy. And Wayne is crazy too, man. But you in there with a goat. Both of them. But you in there with, with, with, with, with. Wayne is an OG goat.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And right now NBA young boy is considered a goat for now, one of the greatest. Yeah. As well as you. The young generation. What it's like being in the studio like that? Oh, bro. Both of them is like my brother. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:25:25 So the energy is like we just vibing off of each other. It's like you're homie. It's like, yeah, it's not, you know what I'm saying? It's like, it's like that's my brother. Like that's like that's, you know what I'm saying? So. Like, just like if I'm in studio with any one of my other brothers, you know what I'm saying? We're just chilling, we smoking.

Starting point is 00:38:40 Man, I shot, bro. You know, the crazy thing about, so I was planning to go to Paris to shoot my album cover and I had somebody else that was going to shoot the video initially. But it, like, it kind of fall through with, with them. So when I got to Paris, I was kind of like scrambling to find somebody else to shoot the video. But like I said, there's a lot of a lot of talented people in France and Paris. So I just started searching. Sometimes I just searching my phone and I might go to somebody that's following. I just go through all their followers and look up the creatives and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I spent a couple of hours doing that. So I founded this one page and I was like, I was like, oh, these people are six? So I reached out to them and share, we shot the video on 48 hours after I sent them on, like 10 minutes treatment. Visuels they put together. That's it was crazy.

Starting point is 00:40:33 because it seems like you could make every kind of record. Like, you can make a record with the Migos where it's going to bump in Atlanta. Or, you know, Plug Walk. It does have, like, a Southern field, a Cali feel, I mean. Plug Walk feels like it got a Cali feel. And then Freezer feels like it kind of got a New York field, me. Like, all your music, like, I don't know. It's like you can sound like you just switch your style.
Starting point is 00:40:56 No record sounds the same. I could adapt to anything anywhere. You know what I'm saying? Because you was one of the first artists to work with the Migos. You and Drake, I believe. Yeah. So that's the funny thing. So the pack that the song with Drake and Migos,
