Juan, welcome to Lockton, Brother.
Welcome.
Thanks, man.
Thanks for having me, bro.
Yeah, man.
How was the night in Danbury last night?
Woo!
I had a great time.
The restaurant was on point.
That was the one at Hotel Zero degrees.
Yeah, zero degrees.
Ivise everyone.
If y'all gonna come check, bro, out.
It's not too far from the studio.
Great food, great energy.
Can't smoke in that, but...
Most hotels you can't smoke in, bro.
I was tired.
I'm like, damn.
I can't smoke.
Yeah, when I used to book rappers at the club back in the day,
they would always smoke and I'd get hit with that $250 fine every time.
The incidentals are crazy.
It's crazy.
I try to get them.
I'm trying to give them like a prepaid debit card.
They're like, nah.
We're not.
You're going to do.
You're going to hit up with that, bro.
Damn.
They're like, no, we want that TD, bro.
I'm like, all right.
Take it, man.
Take it.
No, the Hotel Zero is a nicest hotel, I would say, in Danbury.
That's where, you know, we tell our guests to go to now.
It's nice
Yeah it's definitely the nicest one out here
It ain't New York pizza though
They don't have like New York style pizza
No we're different out here
We got Stanziados
That's where you're gonna go in Danbury
Stanziados
Yeah it's kind of like down the road
From that hotel a little bit
That's where we send all of our guests to
Best pizza also best donuts
They have a grounds donut shop next to it too
Wow
Yeah if you're in Danbury
You got to go to Stanziados
And tell them the Lockton podcast sent you
Lockton sent me
Treat me like family
Yeah they will be
They're good people over there.
That's love.
So where did you grow up?
A little bit of everywhere in New York.
Like, I'm originally from Harlem.
Raised out there my whole life,
but my mom moved out to Staten Island when I was about, like, 12 years old.
So I started staying out there and just, you know,
just going back and forth, running a borough to borough.
But my main base is, like, Harlem and Staten Island for the most part.
Was your dad in the picture?
Not really, to a certain standpoint.
point when I was like seven years old but the rest he was just locked up for he did time for
a murder so he did seven years um he copped out to that came home when I was 14 about time I was 14 I was
already like sports streets a little bit dibbling dabbling but like we have a relationship but it's like a
love to hate relationship type shit what about siblings did you have any of those yeah I got straight
sisters I'm the only boy so I got three sisters I'm the only boy so it's crazy and you guys all grow up together
Yeah.
We all grew up together.
I have an older sister named Lucan.
She's 50.
My other sister name is Jewel, and my other sister is D.V.I.
And D.B.C. is the youngest.
So we seven years apart.
So, yeah, I got a fair share of the older sister crazy vibes.
What do your mom do for work?
My mom worked for HR.
She retired.
So she worked for, like, welfare benefits, like opening people cases,
human services,
like basically just helping people
get placements with homes and stuff like that,
Section 8 housing.
And my grandma, she retired from
working on one sense of Wall Street
for doing stocks,
working with Citibank and stuff like that.
And my dad was just, like I said,
like a street entrepreneur
just running around there.
It was kind of weird
because everybody knew him in the street.
So I'm like, what the fuck he do?
Like, what he do?
I know he always kept the job,
So he was like bigly around type shit, but he will always take me out and take me to different places.
And I was just excited for that.
So you guys were okay financially then?
Like you guys didn't struggle necessarily?
The struggle didn't really come into like, hmm, let's say when the struggle came in.
I say when dad got locked up and like mom was stressed.
But it was never really a struggle, though.
Like I say the struggle that I had was like probably not having both parents.
and not behaving in school and things like that.
I played sports my whole life,
so being that one parent is present
and the other one is not present.
So we kind of struggle with that.
But as far as, like, food, clothes-wise,
my mom always made sure we was sturdy
and great when it comes to that.
So, yeah, like, as me being on my own,
like, defending for myself, yeah,
I struggled a lot with that shit.
Once you start smoking pot,
they don't want to give you no money.
So, oh, yeah, kids, I don't smoke no weed.
Don't let mama and Papa,
know you I spoke a weed because them funds is going to go bye-bye because they don't think you're
just buying straight weed all the time so you got to start defending yourself I started working at
like the age 16 and never stopped since like never stopped I started working at a fast food restaurant
chipotle it I would never eat that I don't like they franchise everybody loves it but I guess I worked
there so I've been back at a house so I wouldn't like you know just go on my free time and buy something
a movie theaters. I worked for the New York Mets, UPS. I done did a little bit of everything,
probably like three jobs at a point of time. My most recent job, I just worked for New York City
Parks Department. That was cool. So you've always been a hustler. Yeah, hustlers from fucking
selling DVDs to dancing in the street to selling pot, selling crack, no shit like that.
We dibbled and dabbled and everything.
I'm from Harlem.
So it was like, we got to get some money.
Even if I was selling water, I could sell water to a drown in person.
Like somebody that's like, you know,
yo, take a sip of this.
You're going to float to the top.
And they're going to really believe it.
And I get it going.
So I always took that as a blessing, a gift that I have the ability to conversee,
double and dabble and just have that comfort with people
that they want to spend some money with me
or just willing to just sit down and just,
talk, you know, so I could gain some jewels and gain some out of the conversation.
So, yeah, like, life was hard, but it just came into where, when you're on your own, you know,
losing friends, people start dying, crashing out, you start, you know, start liking girls,
start going through your own little, I'll say demons or whatever you want to call it.
And you just got to face that shit and not, you know, you don't really fuck what you're
like that and your mom you tell everything but you gotta minimize that shit too
sometimes you got to you know PG-13 if for them you know make sure they know
what you're doing but don't know not everything you feel me my gonna look at you
like son you crazy but you gotta do what you gotta do so yeah for the most part bro
New York City is crazy I didn't get locked up until like I was what 22 bro so it
tells you like I was I was low like you feel me they call me Lose to Goat so I'll be on some
ghost shit like Gany Phantom like
Low out the radar like
People don't know where the fuck I'm at now
For real people don't know where I'm at now
Like I'm a ghost bro
They literally they think I'm in PAs or shit
Or West Bubba fuck yeah
Aside from Hustler how else would you describe yourself
Do you think you were a nice kid a mean kid
You know any other attributes?
I say cool dude
I like always got
Always like the lady
dealt with the ladies
always like the fly guy
funny dude like I make people laugh
like straight up
like not even on no drunk shit
not even on no hot shit
just naturally make people laugh
and they play yo bro why you don't do stand-up
and nothing like that
so I have that you know
that beautiful energy
that I can light up the room
I guess since you know
just if somebody's having a bad day
things like that so I'm just a camera in person
my community love me a lot
and wasn't one of those people
that was terrorizing my neighborhood
if anything if you came
to our neighborhood on some bullshit we was going to regulate that you don't we helped out our
oldest we helped the young kids um open the door things like that even though like things happen in
Harlem i say for the most part the hustlers and the dudes that's really out there have respect
for their community for the most part so yeah if you walk around Harlem or ask the city or see the
comments later on they're like nah fuck what i mean cool dude is it's you know loved by many you know
you're gonna be hated by many as well but for the most part i think i'm gonna
chill guy. What did you want to be when you grew up when you were a kid? Did you aspire to be like
your dad or did you have other plans? Did you want to go to college? What'd that look like?
Honestly, I wanted to play sports my whole life. I didn't really know what I wanted to do as
physician-wise. I just know that I wanted to be somebody, like entrepreneur-wise, somebody,
Just something that I could just elevate my family, have generation wealth.
I'd never really pinpoint because I have many talents.
And back then, you know, you're still growing.
You're still knowing yourself.
I just turned 26.
So my brain just starting to get developed to manhood.
So I always knew that I like military.
I always wanted to be in the Navy.
My uncle Ernest was in the Marines for like over 40 years.
he took me to D.C. to go see the unknown soldiers and things like that.
So I always like the military shit.
Like if I ain't get caught with those guns and shit like that,
I probably would have bust that move, honestly.
So, yeah, I think that was just the only thing for me,
just military and like a dental assistant or something like that.
I love teeth.
That's the first thing I look is teeth.
Anybody I know that I look at these teeth, like I love teeth.
That's one thing about me.
Teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth.
Yeah, you can always tell a lot about a person by their teeth.
And then when they say how much money they have and they have messed up teeth,
there's probably a good chance they don't have that money.
For real.
Because why your teeth is fix them things.
You're a multi-millionaire, but you have bad teeth.
Yeah.
And that's presentation.
You know, teeth, a great smile could take you very far.
Absolutely.
You see, a lot of people don't really be having shit in that smell can get them very far.
So, yeah.
So you didn't get jammed up until you were 20.
for the first time.
Why didn't you join the military
when you were 18?
What was going on at that point?
Getting money.
Getting money.
I was, I got addicted, bro.
Like, I ain't going to...
At that age, I made my first
$80,000 cash, like,
by myself.
No, no fuck shit.
Like, by myself.
So, me seeing that
in a shoebox,
I just went crazy, bro.
Like, I don't even know
where that shit went.
I don't even know
what the fuck I did with it.
Honestly, I just went crazy.
Like,
I think I was just too deep into the shit.
And I felt like that was probably like a,
I always thought of it as a last resort for me.
Like, I write 36.
You got to do something before you,
like before you hit that age to where you can't sign up,
can't join, you feel me?
And plus my mom, baby father that had recently passed away.
She was married to him.
His name was Eugene.
He's a Vietnam vet.
So my older sister, Jewel,
she was like a special baby
because he had got blown up.
My mom told me he only had like one ball type shit, like real shit.
Eugene was a fucking goon.
Like he's coming outside.
Man, oh, jewelry, chains, all that.
My mom, like, why the fuck you wearing that?
Fuck that shit.
I'm out here.
So Eugene ended up picking up that dad role for me, you know, making sure that I got the proper clothing for school,
making sure that I'm sturdy going to football practice, calling my mom,
you know, tell him to come through on a Sunday.
So, yeah, like, I'll probably be able to end up going.
Going to the military, bro.
That was just last result, honestly.
Like, fuck it.
I ain't doing shit out here.
These jobs ain't hitting.
I'm gonna just fuck with this.
So, yeah, the reason why I ain't fuck with it at 22 is just, I guess that alarm, like, the shit that you see in movies, I was really living that shit, really doing that shit.
But being smart about it, too.
Like, I'm not saying here buying a stupid-ass car, $40,000, $50,000 car.
And I'm a little-ass young nigga that where the fuck you get it from?
Like, you feel me?
wasn't making myself that hot.
I like to enjoy my money.
I like to travel and see shit.
I don't like to wear it, honestly, or flash
or make myself hot in that way.
So that all fits in my lois to ghost image, you feel.
You're not going to really see me with a big,
ass, stupid-ass bezel.
I'm going to be icy, but it ain't going to be no shit
to where anybody looking at me down the block.
I don't like to be the main attraction.
I like to walk through crowds and ease
and seep through the wind and disappear type shit.
So, yeah, I would have definitely been part
of an infantry or something.
Except when you're going to see our boys at Blanc's Diamonds, man.
That's what you're going to be iced out.
Oh, yeah.
They just made me this, man.
Oh, yeah.
There's some good dudes in Brooklyn, man.
One of the brothers came on my show.
Yeah, I saw that episode.
I'm like, damn.
And they're really good, bro.
And their story is crazy.
If anybody has the time to go back and check that episode,
if you haven't checked it out yet.
I'm actually going to go check them out,
come see them.
We was talking about doing skits and content at the shop
because I see that he does his little podcast.
as well over there.
So he's doing his thing,
bro, him and his brother.
Shout out to them.
They just had an anniversary
for the jewelry shop in their business.
So keep it going.
And I like it,
that dream dancing.
I'm like,
oh, man,
let me see that real quick.
Yeah, this thing came out good.
They literally put Lockton
with Ian Bick on the sides.
Wow.
They put the date,
it started on the back
and I wear this thing all the time now.
I love this thing.
And it's not too big.
I was like,
guys, I don't want something big.
That's not the type of person.
I just want something small,
unique, and now we're good.
It looks good.
A trophy.
Yeah, this is my baby.
So tell us how you made that first 80 grand cash.
What was it that you were getting yourself into?
All right.
So it was crazy.
I was given something from, like, basically one of my brothers gave me some shit that he didn't have no purpose for it.
I'm saying?
He didn't have no purpose for it.
And I was sitting on it for like a couple of months.
shit was just sitting there.
I ain't going to lie because I'm a football star.
So it's like I'm looking at the shit, shit looking at me.
It's telling me, oh, go get this money.
You know what I'm saying?
And I'm like, damn, I got to go to school.
Come get this money.
I got to go to school.
Get this money.
I'm looking at this shit.
Like, damn, what I do, son, man?
This shit going to get old.
I'm trying to, like, preserve it to make sure that it's still, you know,
consumable and things like that.
So I said, fuck it.
I met one dude that was out there.
and I don't like being out there, so I had him with a proposition.
He couldn't really resist.
It's funny, he's a white dude, too.
It's a white dude.
I've made somebody with a white dude.
What's wrong with the white dude?
I ain't going to lie.
It was crazy, bro, because I never met a white boy that was that official, bro.
Like, he's my brother.
Like, he's official.
Like, I never met no dude like that.
And he's like Italian and black.
So we connected real quick.
And it was there, like, presented to the bro,
and we just started doing our thing.
And as time proceed, like, she just started just piling and piling
because I'm not into, like, the glamors and glitz
and all that stupid shit.
So we're just eating and chilling,
but everything do come to an end, you know what I'm saying?
So I'll tell you how it came to an end.
One day, we out there doing our thing,
hand in the hands or whatever case.

Now let's get back into today's episode.
Did you end up graduating high school?
No.
What happened?
I end up going to Timeville High School.
Went to Curtis High School and Stan Island.
We was playing football.
Everything was going well.
But I had a little situation where my past kind of like came to my present.
Like my past bit me in my ass type shit.
So what happened was I was playing football for Curtis High School.
school, but I had a situation in IS-61 in middle school where the first day of school,
my mom put me in the school, some boy, I think somebody hit the dude and he thought
I must have hit him, so he ran up on me, I beat his ass, he went in a coma. I didn't really
mean for that shit to happen at all if he come across the shit. I ain't mean to happen.
I went home. They called my mom like, yo, Mr. Martinez got to go to the precinct, got to get
arrested, and all this bullshit.
So now that's when, like, my life really transitioned to, like, that first little situation with high school and all of that, getting arrested back to back to back, the back, to back. That was like the opening to the bullshit, bro. I swear to God, because I haven't stopped. I'm still going through shit till his day. That was, like, the opening, like, the icing on the cake. All right.
They do the processing and all of that. Now they send me the juvenile detention. I'm going back and forth the court.
we resolved it with 15 months of probation.
All right, so we resolved it 15 months of probation.
Now, I'm still playing football,
but for some whatever odd reason,
the kid ends up being on the same team as me.
He has all the protection
and stuff like that, et cetera, et cetera.
So my coach, Coach Barada from Curtis High School,
he's like, yo, listen, can't be on a team no more.
I'm thinking I'm failing.
shit like that
nah
we gotta go
I cry like a baby
I was I wasn't myself
ever since that day bro
like I ain't gonna cry like a baby
I'm like damn what the fuck
am I gonna do
because I got little bros that look up to me
that for this football shit
that made it fall
Temple University
James Madison
shout out to Antonio
that's my little bro
he's um he's actually gonna go
to an NFL draft training camp
this year
So, yeah, I took that shit real serious.
Like, I've been playing football since I was, like, seven years old, bro.
So that shit fucked me up.
That shit fucked me up.
So once he told me that shit, I went to the other school, I'm like, fuck it.
I'm going to play some football.
Went there for 11th grade.
They're like, you're a transfer student.
You can't play.
You're a transfer student.
All right, fuck it.
I'm still stay academics, everything on point.
The very next year, when I went to the school, the same school,
I guess something happened with the football program
Where a female
Basically committed suicide at that school
And the football program was basically
On a stake like pause
Like, you know what I'm saying
I don't know what happened with the situation
I guess she fucked like the whole team type shit
They exposed her
She went to Tyneville High School
She went to the train station and killed her so
So after that
I didn't even want to be on a football team
But weird motherfuckers like that
Or shit like that
So I was on some fuck this school
I'm getting money
I'm getting money
Started trapping
I already had 80 bands
Already had the last of the work I had
I ended up being a female
She already had a kid
So I was on some
I'm a clean up
I'm play the stepfather role
I ain't doing shit
She was from the Bronx
Bronx chicks bro
Stay away from them
Yeah
At they from like Hunts Point
Area
I say anything in the Bronx
But just make sure you check her background
You do a background check
Social birth certificate
All out of full background check
Like you're going to get a job
I'll tell you a little bit about her
I met Shorty
Through Facebook
That's what I'm saying
No internet pussy
No social media ass bro
Like you can't do that
You gotta meet them in person
Alright so we used to do dumb shit in my hood
Like we put on the boxing gloves
When I'm from
Like we just put on gloves
and everybody practice get their shit off.
So I had a dumb shit where I used to go live
and we used to make people boxing the hallway.
So it's a hundred dudes smoking blunts,
Hennessy bottles, all that.
Like if you ever seen them backyard boxing on YouTube and all that,
I had that shit going on in the hallway, in the hood,
in New York City, like in the projects, like in the building.
People getting off from the elevator.
Oh, I got money on him.
Got money on him.
So I'm on live.
My live is blicking, like, probably like 2K,
people starting to freeze.
I started to realize that when like when your social media is like buzzing on,
a lot of people who's tapping into your platform, it kind of crashes sometimes.
So I'm like, yo, man, comments, shit going in.
They're getting it, getting it, getting it.
Show these comment on it.
I'm like, why she's staying on the whole live?
Like, you know, people usually leave and come back or just leave.
Like, you know, they're sending little, you know, Sarenora, see you later.
I see what you doing.
She was on the live, the whole joint.
I called it an episode because we was doing some locking ass on it.
It's shaking.
All right.
So she hit me up my DM and all that.
So I'm like, fucking, I'm just like,
seriously about.
While I go to her crib, she has to hide me in the house
and all types of shit.
That was the red flag.
I'm like, damn, what did I get myself into?
She got mad brothers and shit.
Fuck it.
They tried some bullshit.
I'm going to snap this shit out of what these motherfuckers.
I don't care.
I end up getting some ass or whatever.
Broke out.
It should have been a one-day thing,
but fuck it.
All right, total mood of my crud.
That time I still had a little bit of shit.
I cleared it up, got rid of it,
told her what I was into, I retired.
I stopped.
She was like, I helped it with a kid.
She ended up being like a super, I don't want to call her,
but she was foul, man.
She was foul.
Started messing with dudes up the street.
Messing with dudes around the way.
We broke up.
I don't know how she ended up living up the block.
I'm like, oh shit, she living up the block now.
This shit is embarrassing.
Yeah.
She was crazy, bro.
So I had to leave her alone with that toxic shit.
So I had a lot of shit going on in my life.
A lot of shit, bro.
So you clear that product.
You make the 80 grand.
You find her.
How do you get back involved in the streets to get jammed up?
Like, why didn't you just stay away from it?
You had a good run, never got really in trouble,
except for when you were juvenile.
What happened?
That's a good question.
I should ask myself that shit.
Word.
What happened was, honestly, work started slowing up again.
Spent all the bread.
Bitches disappear.
Friends disappear.
People get locked up.
Things change around the way.
Things get drinkified.
You got more social media outlets.
Things is much easier than before.
Like before, you really had to be on these corners in these streets
and really hug that block.
Now you could really do, you could use a social media outlet
and make six figures without leaving your house.
Whatever you're doing,
It could be shirts, products, whatever.
So I just started thinking, bro, I'm like, fuck it.
I started getting those rich dreams again, those rich vivid dreams.
Like, and it was coming mass, like coming every day.
I'm like, fuck, I got make something go.
I got kids now.
I got children now that I've invested up dealing with different women and shit like that at a young age.
Toxic women at that.
I got to get this money.
So that put me in a position of being under pressure.
Like, fuck it.
That's all I really need.
know how to do besides get a job COVID happened as soon as I got in there we were still doing
quarantine COVID happened money slowing up money started coming back in throughout those times
where COVID that shit that shit fucked up a lot of shit but motherfuckers made a lot of money too if you
know what I'm talking about so I think that that period that COVID shit brought me back to
the streets and all of that.
So what do you get into? Are you involved with like a gang?
Are you just running solo? What does that look like?
No, like, just like, we're not a gang.
It's not no gang shit. It's like you out there. You got your own shit. You got your own
shit. You do your own shit. That's it. Like, it's free for all. Like, that's how it is.
Like, that's it. Like, nobody trying to, like, how can I see?
that ain't no more fucking crazy organizations and shit like that no more motherfuckers don't really know how to get no money together
BMF and all that shit I don't know how to fuck they did all that
There's always somebody that I want to be the biggest dude or
Be the realest one or nobody don't know how to play the middleman and just play the position
So things like that when it come to me or working with others on that standpoint would never work out
So I always did my dirt on my own when it comes to anything
family, grandmoms, uncles,
they always told me you're going to do something
do it on your own.
You notice a lot of Rico shit and a lot of shit
motherfuckers start turning.
All of that is very rare
that you get you a solid crew that just like,
fuck it, it is what it is.
You don't see that anymore.
Nah.
First guy to falls, flipping.
Yeah, but lucky I was happy
to get those people around me with.
When I got caught up, champed up,
they kicked down the door and all that.
I was with my little bros.
When my little bros, you feel me
They hold it down
I ain't gonna lie
And they're young
They're young, they're babies
You know what I'm saying
They hold it down
They play their role
They play their position
You know what you signed up for out here
Don't do the crime
You can't do the time
Bro
So that's what it is
Bro
If you know what you're signing up for
And you know
It's life or death
For what can happen
The repercussions bro
That's sick
God only protect babies and dummies
bro.
Babies and dummies, literally.
I didn't see people get clapped up
a hunt. So many, he still survive
and still don't. He protect them. It's not your time.
It's not your time. When you get your shot, is your shot.
So they being said, don't never give up.
Never, no I'm saying? You're going to have to change
at some standpoint because you're going to keep doing the same shit. You're going to get
the same results.
So my mom just telling me the other day that maybe I needed
that to go through Rikers Island and go through that transition and know how it was. I was 22.
So at that point it's like, damn, nigga, I ain't get touched, nothing happened. You don't really
know the reality of the other side of the repercussions because always got away. I always was a
ghost. That time, I ain't feel like a ghost. That ass. I ain't feel like no fucking ghost. I'm like,
damn, bro. Got motherfucking cast, but, bro, for real. So I just want to teach my little bros now.
just like
and shit is cool
shit is nice all that
it's fun
you could talk about it later on
and all of that

And just let shit go, bro.
So what do you get arrested for? Tell us about it.
I got arrested for firearms.
Basically, it was three firearms in my home.
It was me and my bros, you know what I'm saying?
We got caught up
They kicked down the door
They found them
Had this all in the house
Searching for shit
Boom
Went through the process
I knew I wasn't going home
I knew I knew the bill was crazy
$250,000
The other one was like
$150,000
Shit was just crazy
bro
So I'm like fuck it
This is gonna be home
And to transition
Into Rikers Island
And not being
Did Time
Or
just no juvenile shit
Like juvenile is bullshit
Bro they got games
They got food
They got all that shit you got at home
Bro so them kids ain't really
Feeling like damn they did something bad
You feel me that shit is really like
Day kid bro honestly bro
And that's what Reich Zalan is
That shit is a shelter bro
It's a shelter
Were you selling guns
Why did they come to your house
No I wasn't selling guns
They got a tip
They got a tip from somebody
and um
a tip about what
that I had fire homes
so yeah
when I got my discovery packet
I read it
it gave a tip
somebody told him
so what were you waving them around
in a video or something
how would people know you had guns
nah bro it was um
somebody real close to me bro
real close
and um
I don't know like
what the bitch did
but it was a female
you know what I'm saying
it was a female
and she called them people
And I trusted her.
I loved her a lot.
And I didn't expect her to do some shit like that.
Honestly, she didn't even know I had some shit in the crib.
I think she was doing it on some spiteful shit.
And I had shit on deck.
That shit came up in my discovery packet.
I'm thinking it's dudes on the street.
And I'm saying?
I'm like, fuck it.
When I get back out there, somebody's going to get hurt.
Somebody's going to get fucked up.
No, it was a bitch.
A female, excuse me, yeah.
Why did you have guns to begin with?
Were you a violent person?
Were you using guns?
What was the purpose of them?
No.
And the hood is essential.
Like, you got to, you feel like, you feel me?
It's not even just to hurt anybody.
It's like, that's our rights at the end of the day.
You know what I'm saying?
That's our rights.
And I was practicing my rights.
I saw, like, I wasn't out there hurting nobody.
I wasn't out there looking for no problems or nothing.
just a person that paid taxes, mind you.
I worked since I was 16.
I've been working my whole life.
Even when I was hustling, I still kept pay stubs and things like that.
And I felt like as me being American,
I should have the rights to be on wherever the fuck city I'm at.
I don't care.
That's your job to catch me at the end of the day.
But I'm practicing my rights, bro.
So, and now to see people being able to get firearms in New York now,
getting licenses and shit like that
I just feel like that's fucked up
I ain't have no mission
I wasn't planning on doing nothing to nobody
just a regular person
that has a fire arm just like people in Massachusetts
just like people in CT
just like people in all these other places
that was like that's fucked up
you've got these things on the amendment
so you can't really practice your rights
going to places that's calm and well
for going to cities that
that's just not leading by example
yeah but why not go through the process
to get it legally?
I could have.
I could have.
It's not like we could just have a firearm freely.
Yeah, I could have.
I cut up.
I cut off.
I cut up.
But then again, who's going to teach me that?
Who going to show me that shit?
It ain't no boards on a wall when you're walking down the street.
Like, yo, walking here, gun safety classes and things like that or, you know, training or anything like that.
you know just to teach people on how to be aware
about things like that period
there's nothing like that there's no way to teach people
I don't went to Indiana I didn't want to so much states
bro where you could just go with your ID
and go get a fire on from a pawn shop
you could go to a motherfucking
shooting range
with your ID
why is it so easy out there
and it's so hard for us but mind you crime is so high in these cities
police don't do shit
These are the ones that
Live in other cities
That don't really have high crime
Bro
These people are scared
So you got people that scared
Doing these jobs
As me being a father
As me being a son
As me being me
I'm gonna protect myself
So yeah I could have went that route
But how do we go that route
When am I supposed to call 311
Like hey I want to get my gun license
How can I do that?
They're not doing that
And they need to educate kids
On protecting themselves
And respecting people's space
You're not doing that
You're not even
You're not teaching motherfuckers
They even save money, bro
You go to school, college, all this good shit
You can't even get a fucking job
Why you can't get a job
And you got your PhD
Can't get a job because you have no work experience
This shit is crazy
Do you have anger towards your dad
For not being around to teach you those things?
Um, no, I'll let go.
Um, I'll be honest with you, I'm a mama's boy.
I love my mom.
That's everything to me.
Be the same sign.
Um, me the closest, no I'm saying from I was, see, she had C-section, breastfed me, got sick, never left my side, things like that.
People are always going to resent the other parent for whatever reason.
But honestly, I'm just glad that I'm here and I have the ability to do what I have to do.
and change things that I could change within my life, you know?
So I don't dwell on the past.
I'm a cancer.
I don't dwell on a past.
I don't, some shit that happened to me two days ago.
I'm not going to think about it today.
Fuck that shit.
I'm going to live it.
I'm going to live.
I'm going to live.
Tomorrow's going to be a better day, you know?
That's something that he has to deal with for the rest of his life
if he goes to sleep and think about it, I mean.
So now I'm just appreciative for my mom, my grandma,
And everybody that was there, because it takes a village to, you know, really raise a child.
So even if they're not blood relatives, people have stepped up in my life and helped me out a lot.
So I'm blessed.
I'm thankful for that.
How did your mom react to you getting arrested and your sisters?
They ain't like it.
I ain't going on.
They didn't take too much.
And I like it.
I'm their little bro.
And then I'm the only little bro at that.
The only little bro they have.
they was all supportive though
Like they all supported but you know
People they're not gonna
You know with Prince what you was doing
That's my house name so it's like
You know they're not gonna wanna hear that shit

So they was doing that to me.
They must have made a whole bunch of money.
And I'm just telling everybody, just send it to my J-Pay, bro.

So I'm looking at them like they're crazy.
Nah, fuck you.

But when I got back to the time,

Yo, your motherfuckers is crazy.

All right.
I call my home girl Destiny.

She swung me a shoddy number
Cool shoddy
She's like oh you got a nice voice
Ah ah ha ha ha ha
I'm like fucking I'm out to try this shit
I've never been to jail
So there's women
Mind you, there's women out there
That really do like guys that's locked up
They don't know you nothing
They're gonna come and see your ass
Like yo pull up man
Pull up man
Let me see what you're working with
I don't know
What the fuck she looked like bro
I don't know
Where the fuck she from
None of that she was with it
She came to the island and come visit me.
This is God's doing.
I swear it is.
She pulls up.
I don't know what she looked like.
I'm nervous now because I'm about to go to the dance floor
and I don't know what this chick looked like.
So that's mad embarrassing.
Mind you, you got to put it on your slides,
the whole jumpsuit, all that shit.
But for whatever reason, they put me in a bubble.
Bubble.
I never did this shit before.
So the bubble is where you just straight glass
and a person is on the other side.
You got these little holes that you can talk to
and then that little bullshit ass phone.
I'm like, perfect.
Perfect.
Now, I can have quality time with her.
I don't got to hear everybody talking.
I can really talk my shit.
So now we're talking.
I'm like, what's up, girl?
I'm like, damn, you really can.
She ain't all that.
But when you locked up, any bitch look fire.
You can have one tooth.
And you got a fat ass and some tities or something.
You're going to look good to me.
I don't care when nobody see you.
Everybody in there.
Every go.
chick was looking good.
This girl was looking like
Cardi B. Fuck it.
In my mind, she looked like Cardi B
or one of them top,
top Beyonce, whatever you want to call it.
All right, bad, talking my shit.
All right.
Visit over.
She starts sending money now.
Oh, shit, I got her.
I got her.
She started coming fluently.
Uh-uh.
Munch only got a month left,
so knock that shit out.
That was my shit, bro.
If y'all want to get through your shit,
sleep and go on visits, bro.
And don't go in the day room.
That's where you're niggas get fucked up at, and that's where a lot of problems happen at.
Fuck the TV.
Fuck all that shit.
Just be on your bed, smoke some weed, write some books, do something.
Like, when you try to indulge with everybody and all that, no.
You got your own time.
You came here with your own shit.
You don't want to mingle out.
Mone'all fuck is getting in there too friendly.
You look at them like, y'all came here together, my niggas?
Like, what the fuck going on here?
Two different cases, two different hoods, two different everything.
Y'all old buddy, buddy.
Nah, fuck that.
Do that shit by yourself.
Walk that shit.
Walk that shit and you'll be out.
And you know what's so funny?
The longest process is not even going to jail,
going to court,
and now that's getting the fuck out.
Because the anxiety is like,
I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to get out of here.
30 months later.
Like, that shit feels so long, bro.
They do your thing.
Ha, ha.
I got to check if you got any warrants
and any states.
They finally let a motherfucker go.
So you got 30 months in prison
for this gun charge?
Oh, hell no.
I don't know. You know what they gave me?
You might lie, but they only gave me six months.
Wait, if they only gave you six months...
Only did four months.
You only did four months at Rikers for the gun charge?
Yeah.
How?
It was my first gun charge.
The other two, I think the other firearm was inoperable, so it didn't work.
I claimed one firearm, and my other bro claimed one firearm.
And my other little bro, he was in mine at the time.
He had the unoperable firearm
They let him go
Walk in the park
Me and my little bro
They gave us six months at peace
We did four months
City time
It's time to go
But the question to answer that
When you asked me
Like was you outside
Looking for anybody? No, what really actually
Save this was
It was sealed
It was in the house
Sealed
Not bothering nobody
None of that
So they're like
You listen
And they really had
no probable cause of really coming to the crib
because of a bitch cold or whatever.
So somewhere down the line, they fucked up.
I took that six months, but that's six months,
you got to pay attention now.
That shit fucking me up on my new case, too.
But you got to be careful of what you get.
Because if I'd have fought my case a little bit longer,
I'd have got it to a misdemeanor.
Yeah, if they're only off for giving you a six months in prison.
If that's a max, then you probably could have got off completely.
So they hit you with a felony for that gun charge, six months.
Yeah, e-felony, the lowest felony.
So then you get out, what happens?
I get out.
Start doing programs.
Started looking for jobs and shit.
Started staying away from motherfuckers.
Start fucking around with the hood.
Start fucking around with the block.
Stopped a lot of shit.
I wasn't even smoking for a little minute.
Boy, wasn't smoking.
Then my downfall again, another female.
It's the pussy, bro.
I'm like, I don't know.
bro. I don't know what she did. She hit me with the
ooh-wee. I'm like this.
She hit me with that shit, bro. I don't know.
Started fucking with her. Everything was good.
I'm not smoking, but no more. None of that.
Wait up. Shit right.
I'm just now working out again.
And there's been a little minute. She was right.
Me, shoddy, I met her through one of my bros.
He put me on to her.
He was like, oh, she's a hoe and all that. She had thought and all that.
I ain't care. I ain't had posted.
I ain't had pussy in four months, bro.
I ain't have pussy in a little minute, bro.
And I'm dreaming about this shit and waking up.
You ever had a dream that you really, excuse me,
you live in your best life.
And then you wake up in a fucking cell.
That shit hurts.
Like, no, I got to get out of him.
I think about honey turkey sandwiches,
cheeseburgers, all types of shit.
All right, so I'm out that shit.
Meat, Shorty.
It wasn't smoking, everything together.
Didn't have a job, but I saved a lot of money when I was incarcerated from all of cash apps
All the shit that I did retrieve that I managed to receive so I left that bitch like what about four racks
So I was okay but out of that four racks they only gave me two hundred dollars so I had to go back to Rikers Island
To go pick up my money and I actually have a video that in my phone getting on that bus without being on the DOC bus
Um
So I'm like I got a little bit of bread
My crib got rated
I don't want to go back home
I'm staying with my sister
I'm in my men
And my nieces and nephews and shit
And my mom I'm like this shit not it
Show de how her
So I'll pull up on her
Pull up on her
It was all smooth
It's all funny games in the beginning
Shit lit
I don't know what the fuck happened
I started working again
Start getting my money back
up the right way though this shit is weird for me now
shit is weird
I'm going a straight line this shit is weird
but as I'm going in this straight line
sure they making me go to work late
sure you got requests for a whole bunch
of shit I'm like damn
I liked you more when I was a bum ass nigga
honestly when I was on some broke bummy shit
with a little only 4 Gs to my name
I actually liked you better than
when I start
because once I started getting my swag up my money
start cleaning up start
looking at me like I'm competition
but not just that
I'm budging in because I have
a little soft spot for it
because usually I was fucked up
when I first came home
I met you when I first came home
so I ain't really fucking all the women
I didn't really live the single life
I met her and just like
the bitches that I was
coming and visiting me
I kicked them to the side
they didn't gave me keys to the house
and all that I ain't never even go visit
sorry Sauranara later
started dealing with her hard body
and she didn't really come back,
come from a good background like as me.
Like, yeah, I got a fucked up life,
but my moms, my grandmoms, my uncles,
they always was there, have a family.
Like, we must fight, we argue and all that,
but I still have a family, you feel me?
Some people don't really know that love
or how to reciprocate that love
or just don't like to see people get that love, bro.
So everybody that I fucked with, friends wise, female wise, family wise,
she just had a vendetta stay away
like keep me locked in
shout out to the show
locked in I felt like I was an inmate in her crib
I felt like I was doing more time bro
I'm like shoddy what the fuck is this
you don't want to go out
you're getting lazy now
you don't want to work
and I'm in cancer bro
and as men we don't really know how to leave
toxic situations I'd be honest
for them guys that need advice
I don't really know how to leave those situations
we like to stick it through
dug it out
all types of shit.
It's mainly like females really be breaking it off,
but it got to a point where
I had to let it go, bro.
I had to let it go, bro.
Like, shit was fucking up my life, bro.
Like, waking up, arguing,
fighting, screaming, yelling, not doing my music.
I'm not doing content.
I'm not doing skits.
I'm not really doing shit with my life,
but just arguing with her.
Still going to work, but arguing.
So it was just toxic.
Left that shit alone.
Went to my grandma's,
crab. I said, fuck it. I want to start doing skits. I'm going to revamp myself. I got to find a way.
I say, you know what? I got some money in my pocket. I don't really do shit for myself. I'm one of
them dudes that I'll take a shirt off my back or I buy you son. I make sure we all situated.
Like, I'm last. I don't really, but I have to, I'm not really a selfless person. But I do
tend to forget about myself at times. So I have to force myself to do sweet.
nice things like I go get a shape up go do this go do that because I'm I'm there for
everybody you feel me so my mom she's on she natures people so I have that in me so
started getting myself together as in doing content skits linking up doing collab shout out the
luxury low so shout out the craze shout out to giddy um shout out to bbw mixie
shout out the um tubby I just started coming out started doing content creations
ups, meet and greets, all that shit.
So what I did was, I know everybody in all five boroughs in the streets.
I just don't have a social media presence yet.
But I had to change my image for me to be in these doors, to be around these people to feel
comfortable.
So when I first started coming around, they're leery.
Not doing collabs, but I'm sending a collab, they're not really confirming it.
My number's not doing well.
My skits start going up.
Ah, they start embracing me.
Start come out more.
Come do this.
Come do that.
Come do this.
To where it got to a point to where my content creation and my skits and my funny ways of just being me,
what I was just explaining to you.
Got me new friends.
Got me a new hobby.
Got me new things that I like to do.
Shit, I'm in CT doing this right now.
Before I would look at this shit and be like, mm-hmm, it's fire.
I'm smoking weed, doing all this.
It's fire.
shit hot
but those long nights
them hard nights of
watching videos
watching all your shit's watching
no jumper watching flat
watching all these people
now I'm saying
and like yo
then I'm switching through my Facebook
and it was one interview
where a dude said yo
why you don't make money
off of what you like to do
what you're watching
you can do that too you can make money off that
you could
you know I mean reaction videos
commentate, do whatever.
And I always had a personal personality.
So I'm like, fuck it.
Let me give it a shot.
I don't do gay shit.
I don't do gay roles and none of that.
You won't catch me selling my soul for nothing
or doing anything that I don't feel that it's not me.
Everything that I do is me.
And not even for a check.
I will sell me for that.
I'm not doing that.
But I give them me.
The funny shit, the swag,
like just the regular New Yorker that really,
I'm probably like the last to the last, bro.
Like a lot of people in New York City
is not even from New York City.
A lot of people that's getting on in New York City
or doing things out there,
just moved out there to get these stuff together.
So there's a lot of things that I don't got to leave my city.
I could do this here.
It's people that come from L.A.,
people that come from Chicago,
people that come from Atlanta,
come here and do well with their content creations
and do well with their skits.
They movies, Broadway, all that shit.
All that shit is right here.
What the fuck am I doing?
Started popping out.
Just started working.
And the shit lit.
Now people ask me, what's up with the music?
Where the music at?
You forgot about the music?
That's all I hear now.
I'm like, nah, I got you on the music.
Let me get my content.
Let me build the platform.
Like, let me put some cherries, some sprinkles.
Let me make sure we go before I dropped the music.
Because a lot of these artists,
you're going to understand.
You have a story
We all do
Some may be interested in more than others
Some people might like your story more than others
Or they might not like your music
But they might like your story
You might like your story
It might like your music
They might like you as a person
They might not give a fuck what you do
You know what I'm saying
There's different people
And different supporters out there
And the people that support you
The most
Own it all
Pay off your home, travel for life
Drive a Ferrari.

Family shit.
My sister that I was looking out for me and shit like that, holding it down.
She was going through something with her man.
I really had nothing to do with me.
Wrong place, wrong time.
When I was telling me about that Parks Department job,
I went to Supreme Court to go receive.
my disposition letters so I could go get this city job.
I'm about to take a shot for that.
It's actually crazy.
So I go get the disposition letter stamped.
Stamped and all.
All right.
I'm going to go home, grab some clothes, do shit like that.
My sister, her baby father's there and her children.
I was locked up.
I'm going to just say this.
So I didn't have access to the crib.
I wasn't using the crib
Nothing like that
I wasn't there
My sister was doing her thing
She was using my mom's crib as a hotel
She was doing her thing on him
Like prostitution?
Nah just like you know
Her side dudes and shit like that
You feel me?
So
When he took her
Like when he came to the apartment
His eyes like
Went crazy because
One dude had sent
Him pictures with my sister
And sent pitchers with my sister
and sent pictures to my sister kids.
So it was a whole big thing.
So when he seen the background of the apartment,
he went crazy.
So in the midst of that, I don't know what the fuck going on.
I just came to go get my docs and get the fuck about it,
birth certificate, social, et cetera, et cetera,
so I could go get this job so I could change my life.
I'm really trying to do this shit here now.
He bugging.
My mom telling me to lead the premises, you feel me,
so I won't get caught up in that shit.
as I'm leaving the premises
he catch himself
trying to pop on me
like trying to be froggy

I'm still holding it down
because I got priors

I'm gonna go
I'm out of here
I'm with a female too
always with a chick
so it's a stintchew
for me I gotta keep a female around
she's tough though
she's real tough
and that's where escalated too
he tried ah she got in the middle
nobody doing nothing to loess
uh uh
he swung
it connected it hit the female
it didn't hit me
so now the female
like why you just punch me
now he's and her
is going at it dumping
getting it shaking right in front of my crib
no police drove past
what a coincidence because the police
is like there every day
Patty wagons, B-Walkers, all that at just this day
It was just clear. It was just that day
They fighting and it going out of it, bo-poo-bo-poo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo.
She getting the best of him.
Bo-poo-boo.
My mom grabbed her off him.
What his dumb ass do?
Charge at me.
I hit him with a two-piece.
When I hit him with a two-piece, he drops.
He stumbles at his face scraped up all over the floor.
He gets up.
He had the noodle legs
Bam again
He fell again
He fell again
I hit him with some shit y'all
Time for me to go
Time for me to go

butt-ass. It's going to be cold in the bookings. Can I get some clothes? Let me put my clothes on.
I got one more request. One more request, man. Yo, Unlock my phone.
Start writing numbers down immediately. Like, fuck that. I don't know nobody about Hart.
Huh, boom
They hit me with a saw in second
Now I'm tight
Now I'm mad
Over a fucking family fight
He went and ratted, snitched
Whatever the fuck you want to call it
Me, honestly, when I get beat the fuck up
Or when I go through shit
My little black eyes, niggas know
In the hood, anybody know
I don't wear dark shades, none of that, I wear that shit
Like it's war wounds, you heard
I don't care, chip tooth and all
I'm wearing that,
That's my pride.
That's me.
That's my war wounds.
He didn't go to wait the route that I would expect him.
Like, I mean, you know.
He told him people that came got me.
Now I'm going to court.
They waived my rights.
All that dumb shit.
Now I knew some bullshit when he waived my rights.
Go to court.
You don't see no judge.
They send you back to the island.
All right.
I know what the fuck y'all doing.
Hit me with a bullshit-ass bell, bro.
Bullshit-ass bell, like 3K, bro.
I said, bro, what the fuck is even the whole point
of just asking for this shit, bro?
This shit is nothing.
Shit is nothing, bro.
So I'm like, fuck it.
I got two jobs out there.
I'm not about to sit in this shit.
So it was a whole different situation
from when I got locked up when I was young.
I was broke.
I ain't have no paid lawyer.
I blew my $80,000.
I'm fucked up in the game.
Now, the odds is like,
all right, bro, you got three jobs out there.
You got money in the stash.
You got family that's willing to help you.
Damn.
Yo, Mom.
No, give me the fuck up out of here.
Court, uncle.
They come to court.
Every day they kept denying my bail for seven days straight, bro.
Seven days straight.
I guess seven is the lucky number.
As they say, seven days straight.
So the toxic bitch that I was telling you about,
she was the one that kept trying to help bail me out,
where she don't work long enough to bail a motherfucker out.
So her pay stubs is like bullshit.
Like, we can't use this.
My man worked for JFK Airport.
He's a flight attendant.
They jacked him.
All right, we could use this.
Now, we need one more person.
My sister, Jew, she's a teacher.
Mom, call up.
Now I get to call, yeah, your sister coming.
So now two days in a row, my sister came late
because she had left work,
because she worked with, like, third graders and shit.
And she works on, what is it?
What island is that?
Not Randall's.
Roosevelt.
My sister works on Roosevelt Island,
so that's kind of far from Stan Island and shit.
The seventh day, they made it.
They made it to 7th there.
I call upstairs because I got pulled, bro.
So even though there's no phone in my cell, I got motherfuckers.
Yo, because the Rikers on, all my Gs that know this shit,
I'm about to explain some shit.
On Staten Island Courthouse, right?
You got the Rikers Island side and then you got the regular court side to see where you're about to go.
I'm on the Rikers Island side.
Motherfuckers, that's on the court side.
I know all of the motherfuckers.
I'm like, yo, call my crit, call upstairs.
Oh, on the set, yo, call, man, call everybody.
My mom and all them.
They call in a buss and moves.
I'm busing moves the whole time.
Shit, fuck that.
Get the word, yeah, your bail paid.
Ah, ah, ah.
Bell paid?
I bet.
Why the fuck am I still here, bro?
Pay my bail at 3 o'clock.
All right?
The fucking captain, the shuddy with the white shirt.
I'm like, what's up, bro?
Like, why am I still here?
She's like saying happened.
It happened.
Why the fuck the Bronx came and got me, bro?
a priest and I'm like, what the fuck
that I do in the Bronx?
What I do in the Bronx?
Came and got my ass.
I knew they was going to come get me
but I ain't know what was for.
They was been supposed to come get me
before I paid that bail.
They already told my lawyer
and all of that.
My lawyer was talking to them all that.
They was supposed to come get me
from Rikers Island
to do whatever the fuck
they were supposed to do.
No, they came and got me
after I bailed the fuck out,
which is they're not supposed to hold you
after three hours
after you posted bail.
All right.
So now they send me to the Bronx.
I don't know what fucking prison I'm at.
I don't know where I'm at.
It's nothing but motherfucking crackheads laying on the floor.
All types of shit.
All types of dumb shit.
Motherfucking fart and sock off.
Nika.
Yo, bro, you'll be like, what the fuck, bro?
I'm ready to slap your shit out of somebody.
Now I'm tight.
I just bailed out.
Now, y'all got me back in this shit in the motherfucking Bronx.
That just drew me from Staten Island to the Bronx, my nigga.
Y'all got me fucked up.
Yeah, I need the phone, man.
Give me the fucking phone.
Get the phone?
Yo, bro, I'm hungry.
It's shit.
Come to the Bronx.
I had my people come from Harlem.
Drop off some food.
They could just drop off food to the precinct?
For me, they did.
Sit.
They dropped off food.
I'm like, yo, officer, I'm fucking hungry.
I just came from the island.
I'm starving, beat.
I'm starving just like that.
They're like, word?
I'm like, yeah, my man just bought me a box of cigarettes.
He bought me a salami and cheese on the hero with letters and all
some candy and some juice.
He bought it to me.
All right.
So now I'm the only nigga
in the fucking sell.
Food, all that shit, cigarette.
Yo, yeah, what's so?
Making sure everybody good.
I think that's the Bronx thing.
You only can fucking do that in the Bronx.
Staten Island, they'd be giving you sandwiches too.
If your family buy you, sign to eat
and they know you're about to go down,
they're going to give you your food
because that's the only last shit you're going to have.
All right, so I'm in there busting down the salami,
smoking his cigarettes.
All them niggas is bummed,
so I couldn't even say.
selling no cigarettes. I couldn't sell him nothing.
All right. We smoked that pack. I ate that sandwich.
I ate them Doritos. I'm like, fuck that, man. I don't know what's about that. I but
call my men's back. Wherever the fuck you got that sandwich? I need another one, you heard?
You brought me back another one, ate it. Detective come to me. She like, um, this, uh, this is for,
uh, what the fuck she said? I was, like, basically, like, menacing, like, destroying. Like,
destroying shit like I was breaking shit
and all that I'm like what the fuck
now that ain't me
so you know what they did bro
they had me sit there for like 24 hours
sent me to the courthouse
on 161 right
and let me
let me go so you didn't get charged
I didn't get charged for nothing I didn't see no judge
no nothing all you got was
the assault charge
that's it and what happened to that case
I'm fighting it now oh you're still fighting it
yeah but um
The 24th of this month, we're going to find out what's the results, basically, if it's going to result in probation or is it going to result in state time.
You think you'll have to do time?
Right now, I'm talking to my lawyer.
We're very cool.
He's talking to the DEA, and the DEA is willing to work on the offer.
So, and the DEA asks my lawyer, do you feel like Mr. Martinez should do time?
He said no.
So right now I have character letters, have so much letters.
I've done worked in so many places.
I have so much shit that I have, like paperwork,
Faw as me, I'm in England management, I'm in therapy,
things like that now to show,
and I start school for plumbing on the 24th the same day,
so I have to reschedule that, my plumbing school.
Did you get fired from your job?
No, I never got fired.
From the Parks Department?
Oh, you're still working for them?
No, I resign.
I resign.
Because the Mets, I love that job.
It was just too much, like working and then leaving there, this, that.
Actually, the Parks Department, they was actually supportive.
They actually gave me mad character letters and all of that.
I told them what was going on.
And I'm not trying to say no funny shit, but even when I was on a run, they knew.
I was telling them, I'm like, yo, I'm scared to come to work.
Like, I don't want these people that's so embarrassing.
My boss, I ain't going to say the Iowa location.
Come to work, man, come to work.
So I was able to make it.
money while I was on a run, working, doing all of that.
But I didn't, I didn't really know if they was really coming to get me, bro.
It was like a family thing.
So when you think about family shit, you don't really think as it's so severe,
but he's an outside.
He got a baby with my sister.
So whatever how that went, he rat it.
He's not showing up the court or nothing like that.
So I'm in good spirits, bro.
So say you've got probation, how are you going to use that second chance again to, you know,
kind of stay on the right track
and not get yourself jammed up into something.
Honestly, I'm gonna,
God gave me another life, bro.
I'm blessed, bro.
Like, all this shit,
I wouldn't be doing this constant creating shit.
I wouldn't be up here right now.
I wouldn't be doing none of this shit I'm doing.
So he opened the eyes for me to take, you know,
lemons and just make lemonade, bro.
Like, the shit that I went through wasn't for a reason.
So I'm going to take this probation,
thing and I'm good that you did say that because we're going to manifest that take that and run
with it bro what is the content stuff you do plug in what you got going on what it is you do now so I do
vlogs I do vlogs I do music I interview people as well but what I do is like I have my little
mic right here and I ask you questions about the city I ask you questions like about your spouse
I do funny things like so um when you post up my Instagram or like the subscription or
son, like on the titles.
Yeah, we'll have in the description.
On the link below.
They'll see what I do.
Like, I do modeling.
Um, right now, I'm going to go shoot in Atlanta for a show called Dreamhouse.
I'm going to be playing a security guard, but also I'm going to have my foot in with
production as well.
So this would be my first show.
And, um, I was actually bought up around a great neighborhood.
Like, my neighborhood is where they shot New Jack City, paid in full above the rim.
Um, I was.
Teddy Raleigh's from my neighborhood.
All the upcoming rappers
then came to my neighborhood,
Glorilla, Young Dolph, G. Herbo,
fabulous.
Dougie Fresh actually live across the street.
If people who's familiar with,
Alpo, Rich Porter, and all of that,
that's my neighborhood as well.
So I've seen the good in the back
what comes with it.
My mom, like she said,
Maybe I needed to see the other side.
So right now I'm just working on music.
Audio books.
I'll probably do, well, not probably do.
I'm going to do like a nonprofit organization.
You know, just probably keep these little dudes off the streets,
feed the community, shit like that, basketball tournaments,
things that I know that the community do like.
But my main objective and my main goal is to start a music academy for people
or an acting school
to make that a trade to where
come on, even
night classes for adults,
kids are students free.
I'll teach you how to master mix music.
I'll teach how to record.
Lighting, back drops,
behind the scenes work,
things like that to where you have that
with you,
and I'm saying,
and hopefully get far as to where
I could provide stipends for people
as well,
while they go get the increments for these things.
And I picked it up on,
my own self-taught from marketing from digital marketing to like hitting you up i did that shit
myself i don't have no manager i don't need no manager if i do get one or assistant that would be
probably cool but all of this is self-work and this is god's doing like i didn't know you was going
write me back but i took chances like fuck it i mean write them i got a crazy-ass story a lot of these
people will be lying. A lot of these motherfuckers
be rapping about bullshit. Everything
I said, people
will come in to say it's true. I got
scars for this shit.
I got mad stories. I got mad
situations. So then I'm young
and I already got grades, bro.
I'm not 27 yet, so I got
nothing but wisdom. Grew up
with the old hats, the young cat, so
they grant that for me. They give me a second
chance, bro. They only going to give me
a chance to keep coming up here
to keep going on different
platforms to keep working and not just that but have a platform to where the people I work with
y'all could come down and sit with me and we go talk about the things that damn how i transitioned
from when we first met and how you know things is going et cetera et cetera i like to build business
relationships and great ones so that's it people got 10 people they could smoke with but those 10 people
you cannot get rich with.
I want 10 people that I could talk to,
confine, chop it up,
get it together.
I look at myself as the hood Tony Starks.
I press one button,
the Marvel's is going to assemble.
That's it.
For real.
That ass, bro.
That's how I feel.
So, like, I have your number now.
So, like, you're a brother.
So always feel free.
Contact me.
I'll call you, check up on you.
If I got anybody that I come across
that I feel like that has a great.
great story that I felt
that needs to be brought to light. I will always give you a
call and hit you up. You ever in the
city? Pull up. I'll show you how
we live in Harlem, how we eat,
chill, where we like to go
to the bar at. I like to go to juice
bars a lot. I'm very healthy with that
working out and shit like that, bro. And especially if I'm out here,
not even, I come to the studio
chill, hang out, probably watch you do your thing,
catch them behind the scenes just to learn,
you know? Get up out of, get out, get up. You know, we got to
get up you got to start somewhere and the way i started honestly bro was telling myself every day
something got to give when you keep telling yourself that that's the start you don't know when you
officially gonna start but that's the start right there i used to tell myself i'm gonna work out i'm a workout
ain't work out at all but that one day is gonna click in and you're gonna be consistent after that one
day so if you tell yourself you all gonna be a streamer tell yourself that every day
Until you become that streamer, manifest that.
You're going to do content, do content.
But I was always told, be the best at what you want to be.
If you want to be a gangster, be the best gangster.
You want to be a doctor, be the best doctor.
You want to be a lawyer, be the best lawyer.
Want to be the best.
So I'm just looking to be the best.
And me and other people don't cause parents, right?
Because my work ethic is stupid, crazy.
Like, I beat myself up because I came late.
Honestly, I'm snitching on myself right now.
I came late.
I was supposed to be here
And this is only going to
Prepare me and better me
To be on time
And to be organized
I'm saying
Organized is the number one key
And that's just me
But I'm ready to work and putting some pain
So
That for
They're just gonna see me just
They're gonna see a whole bunch of
Two B movies
They're gonna see me on everything
Probably on a porno magazine
All that
You have no whole ass shit
A porno upstairs

You just stay out of trouble
Bro okay
Yeah man
Stay away from toxic pussy
Widows
Stay focused
And first of foremost
Just be a ghost
And you know
Locking
with myself and stay locked in with myself.
And with Ian Vic.
Oh yeah, and with Ian Bick.
Make sure y'all do that because we're coming to get you.
Yo, bro, that's hard, though.
Awesome, bro.
You did great.
I love your energy, man.
