Right, but what did you get? 135 once or something you said yeah um okay so and what was the what was the what was a what we charged with uh drug drug trafficking and furtherance of a drug trafficking crime crack cocaine you know pistol charge you know they get a 924 C so they're going to run everything concurrent because well consecutive right so you know what I'm saying Okay. All right. Well, so where, let's start at the beginning. Like, where were you born? St. Petersburg, Florida.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Okay. Most of my, you know, my family, we migrated from Georgia. My family, my mom and everybody came to, came to Florida. You know, I was born in, I was born in Florida, though, St. Petersburg, Florida. I'm like, so like my roots is Georgia and North Carolina, you know what I'm saying? how many um how many kids in your uh any brothers sisters yes i got i got two brothers two sisters they're all older than me i'm the youngest you know they all got the same father so i had my i got a different father than them you what did you and you with uh high school and everything in st pete yeah i went to bogusiega high school played basketball i didn't play football but
Starting point is 00:02:24 you know i played basketball and shit all right so how was i mean how was i mean how growing up were you a good kid or what you know me i mean i was but you know i still still got a little trouble you know what i'm saying time to time you know i guess i guess i don't know i guess i don't know i guess probably maybe my dad would have been there for me it had been a little better for me you know what i mean right but i've been you know were your i mean were your older brothers and sister were they on when you were growing up or oh they was there They were there, so they're not like 10 or 50. Like my, my brothers and sisters were basically, by the time I was like six or seven, they were all gone because they were way older than me.
Starting point is 00:03:09 No, we all grew up in the same household. So we're all like a year or two apart from each other. Okay. So how did, how did you start, like you went to high school? Did you start, were you selling drugs then or like? Yeah, that kind of, I kind of like, that was like the start, you know what I'm saying? Like, like, I didn't have, one of them didn't really have much money. So it was like, you know, it's five of us.
Starting point is 00:03:36 She took her off five of us. So it's like, you know, I used to steal that store to make money to buy clothes and shit. You know what I'm saying? Breaking cars and shit. But, you know, my first, my first gig for hustling was like one of my OGs gave me a, gave me an ounce of marijuana, showed me how to sack it up. You know what I'm saying? So he's just saying, okay, you make.
Starting point is 00:03:58 you make $40, you bring me back $60, you feel what I'm saying? So all my little homies, we all smoked weed. So it was like, that's how I was getting off it, you know what I'm saying? I'm bringing his money, bring mine. But it was like, shit, that was like too slow. Right. So like my neighborhood where I live at 36th Street block is like, it's like a dope hole. Like it's a one long street.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You can come through there, you can buy a crack, pile, water, weed. It wasn't no hair around back then that I knew of, but it was mostly cracking crack marijuana and cocaine, you know what I'm saying? So my OG, it's a female, her name, her name Fee. I'm going to call her fee, you know what I'm saying? She's a big dope deal in the city. You know, I used to run around her sons and we play together basketball and share her son. So I knew she, I knew she sold crack. So I pulled up on her one day. I had my last like $30 on me. I went to her house, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:01 I'm like, hey, man, let me get some feet. You know what I'm saying? She's like, what you talk about? I said, man, I need some crack. She said, nigga, what, you smoke? I'm like, hell, no. I said, man, I try to get my hustle on. And so she came out with this big sucker crack, right?
Starting point is 00:05:18 Man, more way, man, she had rocks so big. Like, these big. And she was like, all you do, you know, you take one, you bust it down, and you sell it for $10. I'm going to sell them to you for $10 a piece. So you just break it down and you'll make more than money. You just come back and see me. So once I broke it down, it was like I was getting like $40 off each rock.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I'm spending $10, but I'm making a $30 profit of each one. So I got like three of them from them. I broke them down. I made like $9. I went to the hood. Went to my block because he only stayed a couple of streets over. So I got to my hood. It was like, shit.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I broke them thing down. I had $90, $90 worth of rock. So, man, them things went so fast. I went by tour the next day. She's like, you got off all that that quick? I'm like, yeah, yeah, let me get, let me get nine of them. So she actually gave me 10 for my money because she knew I'm on my way to come up, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:11 So I broke them down, boom, boom, boom, boom. Shit, I ain't looked back six. And this was the 90, 95. No, it was like 93 because I was still in high school. So I was able to get me some clothes. get me some fresh shoes, you know what I'm saying? So I have a question. So when you say like you're just selling to people that are just driving through the neighborhood,
Starting point is 00:06:36 they're looking for crack, they're just coming through, you're not finding it, going fine anybody, they're just driving through. Yeah, because my neighbor has my street. It's just like, it's like a dope hole, you know what I'm saying? It's a street. You just pull up. And then you had, then you had smokers walking up, you know, neighborhood smokers, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Well, if I put up on bicycles and shit, then down the street, it's like a little alley way a little small alleyway that go to the next street you know we used to post up down there too me and my little homies and we just we just sit there and post up on a block all day and let the money come through and get off it you know what I'm saying okay and you said and you kept going and going and then what was what happened what was you know what it was uh like I was like I was still playing basketball and shit you know high school basketball and so you know I hustle. And then I had a job, too. I got a job. I used to work at a McDonald's, Food Lion, Rain Dixie. You know, I kept a job, you know what I'm saying? But I was hustling on
Starting point is 00:07:36 the side, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, long-store, I graduated. You know, I had plans on going to college and everything, but, you know, I had caught a felony, pulled around with one of my home books, you know what I'm saying? So I caught this felony. So it was like, that kind of fucked up my college. college scholarship how did that happen but it was me we were we were riding one we were riding in my car had just bought me a car you know what I'm saying so we riding in my car and he was high on cocaine he in the back seat it was it was three or four of us in the car so we were hanging out drinking and smoking you know what I'm saying and the other guy he was like high on cocaine or
Starting point is 00:08:17 whatever so I picked them up from another spot but I'm dropping them all I'm taking everybody at home. And his house is like two houses down from where I was dropping him off at. So he's like, no, you're going to drop me up in front of my house. I'm like, drop him front of your house, man. You can get your ass up out of here. So he didn't want to get out. He was in the back seat behind me. So we're driving. I'm going to drop the other guys off. So I drop one of my homeboys off. So I'm coming back to drop the other dude off. And he's telling me, man, you got to drop me up at my house on my front door. I'm like, man, I ain't pick you up from there. So all of a sudden, I had some tools in my back seat on the floor, and he reached over,
Starting point is 00:08:57 and he stabbed me with a screwdriver in the top of my head, you know what I'm saying, was attacking me. The car, the car moving, I'm just, I don't feel it at first. I'm just, I just jumped out. I just turned around and I'm just fighting him in the back seat. I'm beating his ass, you know what I'm saying? So all in all, blood running down my head. So the car runs, the car runs into a I think a trash can of something and stops because I had a stick shift so it automatically stopped
Starting point is 00:09:26 you know what I'm saying so I'm beating his ass so I get out the car I'm bloody and shit mother home boy he's standing there he got a gun on him I don't know he got the gun on him so he's telling me look
Starting point is 00:09:36 man here no I'm like no I'm scraped the dude running then I thought about it I told him to give it to me now and he told me no and I kind of thank God he didn't give it to me
Starting point is 00:09:47 because I would have shot the shit out of his ass while he's running So, so I say, fuck it. I get him on a car. I got a crowbar in the trunk. I grab it, and I chase him to his house because he won't stay too far for what an incident happened.
Starting point is 00:10:01 So I get to his house. He inside his house. I'm beating on his mom door with the crowbar trying to get in there. I'm beating all the windows out of the house, the garage door, and everything. His dad come out. His family know me, you know what I'm saying? They see me all bloody and shit. They don't know what's going on, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:18 So, so I just, I just. lead. They call the police. I leave. So, like, probably like three months later, I'm at school and a school resource officer come get me. He say, I need you, I need to come up to my office with me.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I'm like, what's going on? You know what I'm saying? So I get there and he say, you got a warrant for your arrest. I got to take you to the county jail. I'm like, what the fuck? Like, yeah, you got a warrant for vandalism and some other charge. It was a misdemeanor one felony, so he'd take me down and book me.
Starting point is 00:10:56 And my high school basketball coach, Mr. Kieffel, he'd come down and see me. He asked me what's going on. I explained to him what happened, you know what I'm saying? So he didn't bomb me out. They gave me R&R, release of my own reconnaissance. So I get out, you know what I'm saying? And it's like, I didn't have no lawyer. I didn't know no about lawyer, you know what I'm saying? So it was like, I got a public defender and I just took a plea deal. And that was probably the worst thing I could have did because it gave me a third degree felony
Starting point is 00:11:25 and it fucked up my chance to get a scholarship for basketball. So I'm stuck. I'm like shit, fuck it, you know what I'm saying? I'm all in. I just went ahead and started by hustling, you know. And I still graduated though. You know what I still graduated?
Starting point is 00:11:42 I still graduated high school. But it was like, it was like, it was hurting. But at the same time, man, I ain't really care anymore. I'm like, fuck it. I'm in the streets now, you know. I'm on a block every day. Then I, like, a year later, I decided to enroll in junior college. So I go to junior college.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I'm still getting my education, but I'm still hustling, though. You know what I'm saying? So I'm just, I said, fuck it, man. I'm all in now. So I'm rising in a dope game, but it's like, like, I'm not seeing the money that I need to see. you know what I'm saying I'm going to spend it on on a car's jury money you know what I'm saying this is like actually one of my first cars I hooked up you know what I'm saying I put paint on it
Starting point is 00:12:32 some you know some rims you know what I'm saying right so I'm in the street life you know it's it like this is now are you are you watching like your buddies get get popped or like Are you realizing that, hey, this, that, like, are you seeing people get arrested and you, I mean, you know what it is. You know, you're going to get, eventually, you know, you're getting grabbed. Yeah, this is, this, like I say, this was in 94, 95 after I graduated. So, like, I'm seeing, I'm seeing people getting knocked off, you know what I mean, but I'm, I'm just being, like, I didn't hang no, I hung in the crowd, but I didn't hang in
Starting point is 00:13:10 the crowd, you know what I'm saying? Like, I got me a beeper, so my clientele called me, so now I'm not. I don't really on the block no more. I got people calling me. So when they call me, boom, I go meet them, make the money, then I'm not the way, you feel what I'm saying? So how I was moving, I never caught a dope case. I caught one.
Starting point is 00:13:30 This, me and my, like I was on, after that situation with the, with the guy who attacked me, you know what I'm saying? I have his own probation. I was actually on house arrest, but I was still hustling. So I basically was on house arrest, but I was still leaving, going to get more. money every day. So one night we're at, we're at Denny's, me and my girl. So we had a Denny's late night, north side St. Pete. So I'm in that same car. I just showed you. And the sheriff
Starting point is 00:13:58 sitting outside the park a lot across the street. So I got, I got crack on me. I got a gun on me. I got a reefer. So I'm telling her, shit, you hold a weed. I'll cuff the crack. And I had a little stash spot for my gun in my car. So we're leaving. We're heading. We're heading back to south st pete and the man so many sheriffs came out of nowhere man just swam my car boom boom boom they say uh you got you got a warrant for your arrest i'm like for what
Starting point is 00:14:26 he said you your insurance expired i know how my assurance is inspired because i just paid it man i keep my insurance you know what i'm saying so they arrested me took me to the county jail when they searched me they found a crack but they never found a gun you know what I'm saying i had a where i had the stash by the gun was hitting real good So they found a crack on me.
Starting point is 00:14:47 So they arrested me. I had so many charges, man. Like, they hit me with cells and possession, possession of crack. I had one sack of weed. They said, possession of the weed. Cells and possess of the weed. They gave me seven charges, man, almost, something like that. All felonies damn there.
Starting point is 00:15:02 So I'm sitting in the county jail. I'm miserable at hell. I ain't never been through it like this is my second time going to jail. You know what I'm saying as an adult. So one of the guys in the dorm was, It was like, man, you sit around letting that shit worry, man, you need to get in the law library. You say you just graduated, you know what I'm saying? So I went to think about it.
Starting point is 00:15:23 He's like, man, this is all you do. You look up your charges and go find out what the first charge they gave you would and find out if it was legal for them to do that. So I went to thinking, like, I knew my assurance wasn't expired. So that was, that was strike one against them, you know what I'm saying? They violated my constitutional rights. So I looked up some case laws. And then it was like the public defender that gave me. All he kept doing was cop out to these charges.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm like, hell no. So he was calling my mom, too. Tell him my mom, look, tell him to take the plea deal. Or he's going to get a lot of time. You know what I'm saying? I'm telling my mom, look. I ain't coping out of shit. Fuck that shit.
Starting point is 00:16:00 So I got in a law library. I wrote all the statues down and wrote what they did wrong and what they could charge me with and what they couldn't charge me with and sent it to the public defender. Boom. I said, man, I need, I need you file this shit. You know what I'm saying? He filed it.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Like seven days later, I got a mail and I got a letter in the mail with another kind of jail. Man, all the charges dropped except intro or contraband into a county facility. He built some of the nation's largest banks out of an estimated $55 million because $50 million wasn't enough. And $60 million seemed excessive. He is the most interesting man in the world. I don't typically commit crimes, but when I do, It's bank fraud. Stay greedy, my friends.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Support the channel. Join Matthew Cox's Patreon. They hit me with that, but it gave me, it was a lighter sentence. They gave me like probation, added on to my house arrest, it already had, so they really just extended it, you feel what I'm saying? They let me out. So I went home, you know, I said, fuck that shit. I'm just going to be way more smarter this time, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:13 They ain't going to keep shit on me. You know what I'm saying? So I just got out and just got back to getting money, man. So like I said, I had a long run before I really caught another case. This case I just caught, I got knocked off in 2013. This happened in 96, 97, when I caught that first charge. You know what I'm saying? So I was, I was really, I was out slicking these people for years, man, you know?
Starting point is 00:17:41 That's how I felt, you know? Right. So, you know, I'm sorry, go ahead. But so what, so your, but your, I mean, at this point, you got a, you got an apartment. You have, are like, are you, you got a car, apartment. You, like, what's the plan? I'm staying with my mom. So it's like, you know, I'm still hustling.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I ain't, I ain't really got no plan. I'm just living day-to-day getting money. So it was like, I ran into one of my old homeboys where I ran the streets with as a jitterbug, you know. You know what I'm saying? We used to get in trouble and shit, you know what I'm saying? As kids. So he just got back from college and he wasn't going back. So we got us a spot.
Starting point is 00:18:25 We got us a spot and we just started trapping, man. You know, selling crack, man. We learned how to, one of other homie showed us how to cook. We'll take one ounce, blow it up, turn it to two ounces of crack, man. And we just cut that thing up. We get the ounces for like 700. We'll cut the ounces. Once we cook it up and turn it.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Turned 28 grams into like 50 grams. We're cutting almost like $2,500 worth of crack off one ounce. So we're doing this now, you know what I'm saying? We elevate now. Once I got with him, we just came with a game plan, and this is what we're going to do now. Every time we buy ounces, we're cooking it all up, and we're going to sell it out this goddamn trap house we got. We had a trap house on the other side of town of St. Pete.
Starting point is 00:19:14 and it's like a neighborhood where you got number of crackhead just walk around gas station right there and man look and that thing that thing's 24 hours man number number bases coming in and out of that man spending money man five 10 dollar we're getting everything coming through there so that that was like my next elevating in the dope game you know what I'm saying so it was like okay now I'm really seeing money now you know I'm I'm sitting on 10, 15,000, like, easy now, you know what I'm saying? But I still don't know. I got enough money to buy a whole kilo.
Starting point is 00:19:52 We don't, we don't know this. We just, we're small-time hustlers. That's how we get at it. So we just deal what we had to do right then, you know what I'm saying? To one of my homies, his cousin came and pulled up on us and was like, he's seen us buying ounces, ounces, ounces. He's like, man, y'all got enough, do y'all got enough money to buy y'all a whole brick? So we started
Starting point is 00:20:14 We just we debated on it for a second Because we knew we knew there's a lot of slimy shit going on you know what I'm saying So we didn't want to put all our money at risk like that So my bro my bro my bro, like man look here man I got another club A Cuban guy he ran into Like he was like man look He got some good shit
Starting point is 00:20:35 You know what I'm saying So we basically started dealing with him you know what I mean he was from uh columbia some god damn well even a columbia or some some guy then well i didn't know he was spanish you know what said but he was he started he started looking out for us we was getting was getting probably like paying like 18 close to close to 17 18 000 of brick so now it's like okay let's do this here you're you're buying a brick for 18 grand yeah and we're cutting it yeah we're breaking it yeah we're breaking all down like

Starting point is 00:22:00 but a majority time we're cooking everything up you know what I'm saying how long does this go on? We did this We had a nice run, probably about a good, good two years. You know what I mean? About a good year, one to two years. We had a good run, you know what I'm saying? What it was like, we're all growing, we're all going apart. He went back to college.
Starting point is 00:22:29 So he went ahead and he went and rode in Florida State, I think. Yeah, he went to Florida State. He left St. Pete, and he moved to Tallahassee. and he went and rolled in Florida. So I'm still, huh? I was going to say, where are you living?

You know, I mean I came up with another game playing you know but but the plug we had he wasn't he wasn't he wasn't he wasn't I want to say I don't know if he wanted to fuck with us no more because you know we made it we made him so much money whatever but shit kind of went dry you know what I'm saying so it's like I don't really I don't really trust too many people you know what I'm saying far as spending my spending like spending that kind of money with people you know what I'm saying but I found my cousin one of my cousins uh he had just

So at the time, I was like, shit, I had, my money had got kind of low. But, you know, I'm still, you know, I still have probably had a few thousand dollars. But that ain't really, that wasn't really no money. But it's being there, I wasn't broke, you feel what I'm saying? And with my hustle, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:26:33 I wasn't worried about, weren't about going broke because I know I can, I know how to flip money. You know what I'm saying? Even if it was go buy a couple pounds of marijuana break it down and get off it like that, just, you know, just flip money, you know what I'm saying? Period. Everybody ain't got that gift to take a couple dollars or that mentality
Starting point is 00:26:51 is just okay. I can go, I can go get these say, I can go get five pounds for 600 a piece and go over here and sell them for for 800 a piece right quick light. You feel what I'm saying? And do this and do this in a couple
Starting point is 00:27:07 minutes and know who go know who to go see so now you're profit you're profiting a thousand dollars you spot you spot maybe 3500 for a gram but you're going to profit a thousand dollars right quick you feel I'm saying that it's we call it a quick flip yeah you know what I mean where you can do this do that and make it a quick flip and get right back you know what I'm saying you do that two times two times a day maybe maybe two three times out the week you know and you just sit back in man another thing too is money management you know what saying when you're in a dope game you got to know how to manage your money you know what i mean you don't manage it you'll you'll ball out and be broke you know i don't i don't fail maybe rock bottom twice that's because i
Starting point is 00:27:55 trusted someone with my money not that i blew my money you know what i mean i trusted somebody to go re-up for me or re-up with me and shit went sour that's the only time i ever went bro well hit rock bottom other than that i know when to stop spending money and manage money you know what i mean yeah yeah i used to talk about i used to when i you know i talked you know i taught the real estate class right uh-huh um i used to always say like you know these guys like listen the drug dealers like they they have that hustle mentality and in real estate like they would do great yeah because you know they're going they're going they're going to neighborhoods that most people won't go into.
Starting point is 00:28:39 They don't have a problem talking to anybody. They'll go up to anybody and start talking to them. And most people can't do that. And, you know, they don't mind going in the neighborhood. They don't mind knocking on doors. They don't mind talking to people. And if they need to come up with some money, even if they only got five grand, they can make three phone calls and get 30 or 40 grand.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Yeah. Like they know people that'll lend them 10 grand, 5 grand, 7 grand. You know, they'll put it together pretty quick. Most people don't have that. that's if you got if you're reliable like like you if you're i want to say if you're your face good you feel i'm saying you're not you're not a slimy motherfucker scamback motherfucker you know everybody know that okay then you're a hustling ass dude and and you know how to go get it you feel i'm saying yeah you know you know you can lend money to like i i got a buddy who's getting
Starting point is 00:29:28 out of jail and it's like look if i you know if you need a couple thousand like i'll i know i'll give it to him because i know he'll give me the money back he's good for it there are other guys i know that they said hey can you give me a hundred bucks i'd be like yeah man i can't i like giving you nothing you ain't never gonna pay me back no right you're funny i like hanging out with you but i you're a bottomless pit so it's best it's best to say hey man i'm i'm gonna give you this here and you just you just you ain't got to pay me that back you know what so what so what happened how does this thing like how do they like are your buddy at this point are there any close calls is anybody coming like people around you getting busted like you your buddies get busted
Starting point is 00:30:13 my city is like like people like people still go to jail state charges but but back then like you rarely we rarely seen people go federal unless you was really doing it big you feel I'm saying so it was like guys are catching dope cases boom they're going to state prison Boom, Catch a Doca ain't going to stay prison. Like, I avoided that shit for so many years, man. So I guess how I moves and how I operated, it wasn't like I was leaving paper trails anyway either. Are you just hanging out with regular working class stiffs
Starting point is 00:30:52 or are you hanging out with other drug dealers? I'm hanging out with the drug dealers, you know what I mean? But when I go to the club, I'm by myself. I'll pull up, I league. I'm by myself, you know what I'm saying? We all, the guys I feel like myself, we're all, we're all the same way. So it's like we all, we all had our own cars, you know, we all have plenty of bitches. And we all had our money.
Starting point is 00:31:16 So it's like, hey, what's up? What we're doing tonight? We meet at the club, you feel, we all meet up at the club. We never really get together and ride in the same car to the club. You feel what I'm saying? We'll all meet up, you know. so then it was like after I sold that Chevrolet I had bought this car right here I bought one of these the North Star Cadillac right so it was like I sold that bought that car you know what I'm
Starting point is 00:31:48 saying at the same time still waiting on my cousin to come through you know what I'm saying with this plug but you know I I I would just like like like me like I knew like round this time a year it'd be indictment season you know i hear that too much like when november hit it's time to chill the fuck out you feel what i'm saying right that's when they that's when the fans come and do their sweep and i was seeing that on a regular now you know what i mean like this time of year okay i i know to chill the fuck out i could spend spend a couple dollars and you know but i still know how to manage money i knew how to make a play okay i can make a play for a thousand dollars i'm going to sit my ass down again you know what i mean and get out the way you
Starting point is 00:32:30 you know, I go to a club, I ain't blowing a lot of money, you know. I know how to come to the club and hang out a little bit, you know, just stay out the way, you feel what I'm saying? So I did go back to the junior college, St. Pete Junior College, you know, and try to brush up on my education and see if I can try to earn a basketball scholarship at the same time, you know what I'm saying? That ain't work out. Like, I got out there, and I played good.
Starting point is 00:33:01 It was like the, it was a black coach. He was assistant coach. He knew me from growing up playing in rec leagues and stuff. And he was becoming the next head coach at St.P. Junior College. And it was a Caucasian coach. He was leaving. And I introduced myself to him. And when they had the tryouts, he said, man, I like your game.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I really want you a board. you know what I'm saying but the other coach the black coach was like I don't know what he said to him but it's like he lost interest in interest in me I don't know if he might have told him
Starting point is 00:33:38 he knew me for selling dope you feel what I'm saying that's how that's my mentality it was because I know he he knew what's going on in the streets you know his sons his son's probably telling him what's going on you know
Starting point is 00:33:50 but he didn't know that that was like my way of wanting to get out the hood and get out the city, you know, play ball and try to get a scholarship, man. I really want to go to the NBA, man, like real, real shit. Like, my game, like, high field, my heart, man, I know I could have made it in the league
Starting point is 00:34:10 if I got a chance, you know what I'm saying? But it kind of hurt that, that my own, it was like my own kind, they really want to help me, feel what I'm saying? He served over a decade in federal prison for bank fraud, and he still owes the government six million, and restitution, but he's good for it. He is the most interesting man in the world.
Starting point is 00:34:32 I don't typically commit crime, but when I do, it's bank fraud. Stay greedy, my friends. Support the channel. Join Matthew Cox's Patreon. I mean, I had to take it for what it was, and then it was crazy, like, because I called my grandmother up in North Carolina. She stayed in Greensboro, in New Carolina. and I used to talk to her and tell her what happened
Starting point is 00:34:56 and she was like, baby, just come up here. You know what I'm saying? So we actually had a family reunion up there and I flew up there with my mom and them and shit. I let my uncles in and told them what was going on. He was like, man, just come on up here. You can kind of get in school up here. So I went back and I thought about it.

Starting point is 00:36:44 helpful to get me registered and get me, get me trying out and try to get me on the team, you know what I'm saying? Right. they had a head black coach he didn't want nothing to deal with me like like this was the this was the most hurting feeling it's like it's like it's like deja vu all over again you feel what I'm saying I'm like damn like my own kind don't want to help me like what the fuck I got I got the white guy willing to break his back to help me he see the potential but I got I got my own kind I don't want

It started coming out, so everybody was getting cell phones now. So I just rode around through the city, different dope holes, and still incline tail. I pull up on a smoker and give him a little sample. Hey, man, he'll go my number call me. You know anybody wants something called me, you know what I'm saying? Next thing I know, my phone ringing now. It was like, shit, let's go.
Starting point is 00:39:33 So now I'm back at it now, you know, so I'm like, shit, I ain't got no plan, but this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to make money, so I'm ride around all day. I went and bought a little hoopty to ride around to sell my dope ends. I'm ride around all day, just selling crack out of car, you know what I mean? How long does this go on? This went on, about six months, six, seven months, too, almost a year. You know, I'm sticking and moving, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:10 So I'm like, shit, I'm coming up with another game playing, but at the same time, it was like, I'm, I'm comfort. I'm comfortable with what I got going on now, you know what I mean? So this is like 2001, 2001, I'm sliding real good. So now it's like another one of my partners that I ran the streets with as a youngster. He pulled up on me. You know, he said he got another plan, you know what I'm saying? Do I want to end on it?
Starting point is 00:40:42 Like, what you're talking about? Like, so we sat down, we talked about it. It was a plan that shit. he had a cousin that was going to front him some keys he won a certain price for a certain price for them and all he wanted us to do was get rid of them and whatever we made we made this with this price shit i can help do that ain't got to spend my money shit let's go so he was he was giving it to us for like 15 grand 15 16 grand at the time it was it was some good coke it wasn't a best but it was some good coke so we're breaking them all down to ounces and i and uh we call them interstates that's four and a half you know what i'm saying that we didn't we didn't sell them whole we didn't sell them halves we wanted he said four and a halves and ounces that's how we're getting rid of the four and a half's what we'll do we'll take fours four ounces and we put 14 grams
Starting point is 00:41:44 a cut on each one, each four ounces. And then we'll take the other, other ounces that we break down. We'll put like 25 grams in each one and put three grams of cut in it. So we're basically making extra money now. Right. So now once we do that,
Starting point is 00:42:03 we're seeing close to 33,000 off each keep right fast, though. You feel I'm saying? We're doing this shit fast. So he'll bring us three. He'll bring us two or three bricks at a time. We'll do this. We're getting off them.
Starting point is 00:42:18 We do about a week. It was about a week. You know, St. Pete is a small city, but, man, it's money circulating in it. So we're doing this. We're doing it. We're doing two or three keys a week, easy. So once we got this going now, no, I don't got my, I don't bounce back. So I'm able to buy my own now.
Starting point is 00:42:40 He able to buy his own now. We tell him, look, you ain't got a. front us no more let us let us buy let's buy on and you know we'll keep it pushing so we don't have to owe him that's that that was our mentality now we do what we got to do pump up and we'll buy on now you know what I'm saying right all right so now so now we're we're we're doing our thing now so actually and then a home boy he catch he catch a case so he had he had his uh he had his house one night and somebody breaking the house and it he ended up killing him you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:43:30 they know the person who broke in yeah and trying to find out it was actually somebody who he was close to that he was that he was cool with you know what you know what right do dude used to come over to hang out with him and smoke and drink and then you know kind of find out because this ain't this this ain't happened just one time it happened like multiple times because he'd tell me he's like man somebody broke in the house last night while i was in here i said man i got to be somebody that's comfortable with you feel what i'm saying right he he he never he didn't have a doubt it was me you know what I'm saying but he used to have a lot a few guys over from that neighborhood where his house was at so

But, you know, I was skeptical about fucking with him at first. You know what I'm saying? But he, he, he, he, he used cocaine, though.
Starting point is 00:47:50 You feel what I'm saying? He was, he was, he was, he was a user. He a hustler, but he was a user, though. So, like, so he pulled up on me, you're like, man, you're straight. I'm like, no, I ain't got nothing right now. But, you know what I'm saying? Like, you ain't been having nothing? Like, I've been chilling.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Like, shit. I know some people's, you know what I mean? Like, what you mean? Like, I know some people that I'd be having some good shit. So I got with him probably like a couple weeks later. I go over to the house. He got some, he got some Mexicans over there. So they all over there chilling.
Starting point is 00:48:26 And he introduced me to him and everything. And he was telling me how they got, they got whatever we want. You know what I'm saying? Whatever I want, you know what I'm saying? So we actually went to the club. up. I ain't really do no business with them at first. We just, we just hung out. You know what I'm saying? We had to Tampa. Hung out a few clubs. You know what I mean? Spent the time. I got, I just, I sat by and got a chance to know them first. So around this time, it's like 2004, 2005 year. So, so I say, I'm ready, man,
Starting point is 00:49:00 what we're going to do? So they, they hit me up. They come to my house, you know what I'm saying? At this time, I had them bought me a house and everything. You know, I bought the house right direct close from my mom's house. I got a fine ass, though. So I got my own house now and everything. So they come over to my house. We're sitting right there chopping it up. He's telling me what he want for him.
Starting point is 00:49:22 He wanted like 18, 5 at first. That's what the price was going for, like 18, 85 for me first. Once he's seen that I was coming back. you know what I'm saying consistently the prices started dropping you know what I'm saying so I'm basically like okay I bought I bought the first one you know I already knew who to go through and get rid of this shit now you know what I'm saying I ain't no more selling no more crack right it's ounces and four four ways you know what I'm saying I'm I got I got I got these guys in this neighborhood I got I got four different four different guys
Starting point is 00:50:05 in different neighborhoods who I can go to and they're going to buy that shit immediately. So I get rid of the first brick I buy from. I call him back like the next day. He's like, you're doing already? I'm like, yeah, man, that shit ain't that shit. That shit went flat because it's good, you know what I'm saying? So he come back, I buy one, he'll leave me one.
Starting point is 00:50:27 All right. He said, I'm going to give you a couple more days, you know what I'm saying, see what you can do. Shit, that shit, them two was gone within 24 hours too I was like shit I can do so I can get used to this shit I'm doing this shit in 24 hours
Starting point is 00:50:45 I'm making his money and my money now like this shit this 24 hour clockwork like less than 24 hours this shit gone so so I like shit I called him back up he's like man I ain't gonna be back to next week just hold the money down you know what I'm saying so he came back to next week
Starting point is 00:51:03 man he came when he came back in he had five of them for me so I paid I paid for one I paid for two actually and he gave me three he's like this here man don't rush just take your time because I'm like man you know money called him getting rid of this shit right so so I'm at my house I'm looking like shit
Starting point is 00:51:30 I ain't never had as much work at one time you know I got five, five bricks in right here in front of my face. Like, really like, okay, shit. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to keep, put one up. I'm going to take these four and break all these down. I did two of them in four ways, and two of them I did straight ounces, like, ounce to my amount, 28 grams, each ones.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I was selling them for, like, I was selling an ounce of, like, $1,000. And I was selling the four ways for, like, $3,300. even though I'm still putting putting 14 grams on the four ways making it making it four to a half you know what I'm saying so I'm sending them 30300 I'm sending ounces for a stack
Starting point is 00:52:16 man I got rid of them five bricks within the four bricks within like I want to say like five days it took me like five days you know what I'm saying because the guys who I was dealing with they already had work that they just got from me So it went, you know what I mean? So like that next week when he popped up, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:38 I got all his money counting out, boom, boom. I got all mine put up. I'm telling him, man, what's up? What we're going to do next? He's like, shit. What you want to? You want to double this shit up or you want to just stay doing this shit here? I'm like, no, I'm going to stick.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Like, bring me five. I want to do five again. You know what I'm saying? So I said, this is we're going to do, though. I'm going to sell some of these holes. I'm going to sell two of them and I'm going to break the other three down because I knew a couple guys
Starting point is 00:53:09 who was ready to buy holes, you know what I'm saying? So what they'll do, they'll grab his money, his money, his money, and they'll patch it up. You feel I'm saying? To buy the hole. But what I do, this time go around, I would take four and a half out of each brick
Starting point is 00:53:26 and put four and a half back into the brick. and I would mush it all together and then I would compress it back together and basically re-rock it, you feel what I'm saying? So now I can take, now I can do this here out of each brick and put away a four-way out of each brick. Actually, I was taking like a hundred and, about a hundred and a hundred, about a hundred and twelve grams out of each brick, basically.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Instead of 125 grand, I take a hundred and twelve out of each brick. So it would still be good. So I put them back together, boom, boom, boom, get rid of, get rid of my hole now. He giving them to me for like 18. After I take mine out of that back together, I would sell it for like 23,000. So I'm capping five grand, close to five grand of each one, and I'm cuffing like four ounces out of each one. So that's like $9,000 profit, basically, off of each keep.
Starting point is 00:54:26 So I'm doing it. I'm doing this to every key now, you feel what I'm saying? So now I ain't, I ain't, I ain't even breaking them down, breaking them down in ounces no more for what I did. How long you, so how long is this going on? This going on for like two years, I had a good two, two, three year run. Are you on anybody's radar at this point? Like, I mean, do you think?
Starting point is 00:54:51 I don't know it. I am, but I don't know it. Okay. How did you get on their radar? like somebody got busted or basically yeah this how i got on the radar in 2000 in 2005 i think it was i sold i sold a female two ounces of crack not knowing about a 5k i don't know i'm green i'm green to federal system right i sold her two ounces of crack she called me back and she wanted two more
Starting point is 00:55:29 so I sell them to her only been I sold to her because I consider her like family because we grew up in the same neighborhood and she had already been busted no her
Starting point is 00:55:44 her sons her kids father did oh okay all right so he he called a federal case and he was in a pen I think he had a life sentence if he was

So these years, these few years going by, I still, back of my mind, like, damn, she ain't never come back and buy for me no more. What the fuck she got going on? You know what I mean? I hollered at my homeboys in my neighborhood, and I tell them the same thing.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Like, man, I sold this chick like four ounces, like two times, two different times. I still don't know you know I still don't pay it no mind like he was like man you know a baby daddy you know he in the fair like yeah I know but shit I say man they can't get me because it's like she was the only one there at the time I made the sale you feel I'm saying yeah well that doesn't mean anything I found out at the hallway so I'm like I'm like what the fuck man you know I still don't pay it no mind man so I'm doing my I'm on their radar though this is the St. People's the police department I'm on their radar I don't know it so this
Starting point is 00:58:04 2009 this happened to 2006 right so the guys I was getting the message I was getting the bricks from they do it they one of them get busted I'm still I'm dealing with the other homie they knew how to find me you feel what I'm saying so one of them get busted and he debriefed on me. So now, now I got, now, I think that's how the fares got on me. Her case was, was, was, was, was, was state police. You know what I'm saying? City police. When the fares got on me, the fares got on me through the Mexicans I was, the first Mexicans I was getting the kilos from. They got knocked off and they mentioned my name. You know what I'm saying? When I got my paperwork, I, I've seen all this here. So now I got the state police, the, the, the city police on me. I got the feds on me now. So now they're all in cahoots with me. So it's like, okay, I still don't know. I still don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:59:02 You feel me? So I'm dealing with another set of Mexicans who got them too. You know, like over there, they come from Bradenton. They got like little hubs over there in Bradenton where a lot of Mexicans migrated. You feel I'm saying? So it's like, when the feds got me, they say, man, your name ringing so hard in Bradenton, man. We thought you lived over here.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I never went to Bradenton. Like, I never been over there. I've been over there one or two times and go see a female. That's about it. I never went over to get no, pick no dope up. I never went over there and even talk to them guys or whatever. They always came to me. So it was like, okay, now I see what's going on.
Starting point is 00:59:47 You feel me? But go back to the story like, like, damn. I'm making all this money. I'm still not, I'm still not, I wasn't even worried about the fence. I wouldn't even think about them, but at the same time, I started getting spooked. You know how you get this feeling like? Because it's like everybody in, everybody in my city who was like doing something major was getting swooped up by the feds.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Right. You know what I was like, I was really like the, felt like I was like the last, the last, last one in the city who who had major work but i never got pulled by the police they never harassed me or anything so so so it was like i'm ride through the ghost town i'm right through this town it's like a ghost town right that's how i was feeling to me because at the time now i'm in i got a range rover now i got a e 500 mercedes bins so it's like it ain't too many guys Things are going good. Yeah, so it's like, it ain't too many guys in my city that's riding like that.
Starting point is 01:01:00 If they was, they already got swooped up, you feel I'm saying? Yeah. So now I'm feeling like I'm really feeling like I'm stuck out like a sore thumb because it's like, you come past my yard, it's like, okay, I got a range rubber in the yard. I got a Ben's part of the yard. My girlfriend at times, she got one of the new Infinity trucks, FX35, she got one of them in the yard. I had her old Mercedes. Her old Mercedes, I painted it.
Starting point is 01:01:25 It's like a CLK 320 coup. I painted it black and put some rims on. We got that part of the yard. I got a new money collar part in the yard. New Monte Carlo S.S. partner to the yard. So you ride past my house, man, McCallel. My yard is like a car lot.
Starting point is 01:01:41 You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I'm still spooked. But at the same time, I'm like, man, fuck it. I'm going to keep getting me some money. You know what I'm saying? so so I'm dealing with another another dude another Mexican he slid up on me not knowing his I didn't know his home were already debriefed on me so now I'm already pha's already on me I don't know what's going on but I'm like shit I need some work like because one got busted
Starting point is 01:02:12 I need I need I need to get some work you feel I'm saying I need to get my money up you know you know when you ain't listen man like when you when you getting that type of money and you're not constantly hustling and you live in a lifestyle, like that money can go fast, man. You can see, you can
Starting point is 01:02:33 blow 100,000 in a couple of weeks. Yeah. Like, easily. And you won't even know it. You feel I'm saying? And then at the time, I had a, I had my record label going too. So I had, I had some artists certified.
Starting point is 01:02:50 I had one of the hardest artists in the city named Scrutel. He had one of the hottest albums out, you know what I'm saying, at times. So I'm putting money behind them, trying to get them guys' record deals. You know what I mean? I had a club I was promoting, a strip club I was promoting. You know what I mean? On Saturdays, you know, I mean, I used that club basically to promote the music and the brand. You know, I didn't care about the money that the couple of hours I was making every week.
Starting point is 01:03:20 That wasn't really nothing, you know what I'm saying? But I was doing that to promote these. Like I said, I want to give these guys record deals. Right. So you're hoping to parlay your, like, the drug proceeds into, like, a legitimate venture to try and get out of doing the drug thing? Yeah, that was my plan. That was my next plan. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:47 I don't fuck selling dope when I got these hot-ass artists. I can get, I can get, get this label off the ground, get it worth a couple few meals, man, shit. The dope game over with it. Right. They ain't got to sell no more dope, you know what I mean? It was crazy like when I got, when they, when they busted me that, when they kicked my door in on the seizures, on the seizure papers, that's what, that was the last thing they wanted. Documents pertaining my record label, you know what I'm saying? that's why I told my artist
Starting point is 01:04:20 I said man look you guys would have stuck with the plan you guys will be millionaires right now because if the fans talking about you you're doing something as far as just music shit you feel me you're on your way they're going to make sure they're going to make sure you don't get that record
Starting point is 01:04:38 they're going to do everything they can and throw a wrenching that situation they don't want to see young young rappers ride around the city in foreign cars and and blowing money and all these other shit, because guess what I'm going to do?
Starting point is 01:04:50 That's going to help. Once you become a millionaire in the music game, you're going to be able to help others become millionaires if you stick to your plan, right? You feel me? Right. So what happened, so this is your, you've got a bunch of stuff going on.
Starting point is 01:05:11 I mean, what, how does this kind of, how do they, is this when they come down on you or? Yeah, no. No, no, this, when they come down, this, this, this what I, like, okay, I'm, I'm in the club one night, and the feds was in that club. Like, they used to come in that club, and I didn't ever notice, you know what I'm saying? So, so, so, so, yeah, they're not wearing T-shirts. No, no, they're hanging out with us, like, I don't, I don't know this, though. so so like like okay i actually stop hustling for a little sec like because i did feel kind of like
Starting point is 01:05:51 a little heat so i fell back for a minute about about six months six months i wasn't doing anything you know what i'm saying so i really just kind of sat back and tried to analyze things okay try to see where the angle's at you know what i'm coming from like yeah all back you get that it's it's that intuition you can just you can feel it it's coming down on you yeah and you think oh you know you step back and pull back i mean that doesn't work but you can you know you start trying to back pedal and shit never works analyze everything so so i tell so actually me and me and me and my rapper we fell out like we basically we basically he had a little argument
Starting point is 01:06:41 about some money so me and him we fell out so I told him man fuck this label y'all can have all this shit you know I'm gonna go get me some more money man fuck this shit and like I said I was on a hiatus for like six seven six seven eight months
Starting point is 01:06:59 I wasn't doing anything I would just focus on the music you know what I mean I told them they can keep the studio I told them y'all keep that club that night that we was promoting together. Y'all keep that, y'all keep all that shit.
Starting point is 01:07:14 You know what I'm saying? Y'all have you. I don't want no more dealing with that shit. So I got the hell on, went home, came up with another plan. Like I had to sit back in the real, still I was still spooked
Starting point is 01:07:27 because I still had that feeling like shit wasn't right. I feel what I'm saying? And then one of my home boys, he called me, he said he wanted to meet up with me. So me and him met up. because we didn't want to talk on the phone. He was like, man,
Starting point is 01:07:42 I just got word from a couple guys, man. You need to chill out. I'm like, what you mean? He's like, man, lead him messaging alone. They're trying to flip you. You know what I'm saying? You're hot right now. I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:07:55 Where you heard this from? He's like, man, don't worry about that. Just chill the fuck out. You know what I'm saying? And I took heed to it because this is my main man. He ain't going to tell me nothing. He ain't going to tell me nothing wrong. you know what I'm saying but I still I still was naive because it was like
Starting point is 01:08:13 shit I got bills to pay man my money my money getting low I took a hit a couple times you know what I'm saying I ain't mentioned that you know what I mean I took a hit shit wasn't right you know what I mean the shit I bought wasn't right you know I took a few losses but I still I still had a couple of dollars left so so I fell back again and then I I ran into another one of Mexican dudes. I got back on again, but I wasn't moving a lot like I was before. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:08:46 I wasn't doing $200,000 in a couple days like I was. I would do $30,000 sit down. 30, next couple days later, sit down. You feel what I'm saying? I basically slow rolling, but it was still good money, though, but I was slow rolling. So this round, this round, 2018. 2011 you know i was nitpicking you know what i'm saying but i'm still hanging out of clubs every
Starting point is 01:09:13 night not giving a fuck you know what i'm saying so i i used to coach little league football so i'm at the field one day and i had a guy approached me that i knew from a child as a child he pulled up on me like what's going on like what's up boy ain't seen you know why you've been you know what i'm just i just been shitting bro you're like man i need you that what you mean that boy I need your help but I know you can help me I'm like man I don't know what you're talking about

So I, I took, like, one of the, I took one of the zips and put, I put so much bacon soda in that motherfucker. And each one, you couldn't help but look at it and see what big a soda. But when he came, he looked at him, he said, he said, he said, he say nothing about it. So that was like another, like another you know, any other person that came in cop for me, they'd be
Starting point is 01:11:45 like, man, why all this shit is shaky like this here? He didn't, he didn't dispute. He didn't say anything about it. So I had like a funny feeling again, like, damn, what the fuck he got going on? He gave him the $3,000. It was like a whole bunch
Starting point is 01:12:01 of fives, ones, and tens. Like a big, like it was a big knock. Counted the money, boom, boom, boom. he left he got the shit he left so as soon as he left i go outside for a little minute and my neighbor my neighbor he he a cab driver he he like to sit out in his car where he calls and shit so he called my name like come in for a minute i'm like what's up so i meet him at the gate he said oh man that dude just left your house man he was adding real suspicious when he left your house like how my house is it's like

You know, the, the is I you know that they bring it on themselves you know what I'm saying like I don't want to see anybody get hurt but it's like you know what are you doing like you're you're bringing this on yourself you're disrespectful you know like like these guys look these aren't angels that are in here these are the fucking inmates aren't aren't angels but then again if you just treat them with
Starting point is 01:49:03 respect they'll treat you with respect and everything's fine but instead you got to talk to people like they're a dog that's it and they talk to you like a dog now there's a problem not as a problem and I would listen there's the COs I was polite to everybody and I would still have them talk to me like I was a fucking piece of shit
Starting point is 01:49:24 even though I'm yes sir no sir perfectly right and they just go out of their way to try and try and make do something yeah I don't I ain't cool man like I don't dig that shit at all man but to each is on man they'll get what's coming
Starting point is 01:49:40 to them though Hey is carries there? Who? Carrie? Counselor Carey? No. Okay. No, I think he went to the medium. God, he was a scumbag. I think they seemed to the medium. Um, I'm shocked how many people are still there, but. It shipped. They were doing a lot of job changes. Like, some of the CEOs became counselors. Some of them, they sent different spots to be case managers and stuff. Depends on their education. Is Thomas still altering his shirts, making them real tight? Yeah. Looking his eyebrow wearing a little make, that little ruse.
Starting point is 01:50:23 I mean, he's something else. But actually, Thomas was really, he was, he's pretty cool, though. He's pretty fair, you know what I'm saying? Here's the thing, like initially the first couple interactions I had with him, he was a total dick. But then he became, then he was like a, a counselor, and he was my counselor in the, an art app. Yeah, yeah. He was super cool.
Starting point is 01:50:51 Like, he was really cool. If you got into a room and nobody was around, he was cool to you. Yeah. But it was a couple times, you know, the first couple times I had to talk to him, it was just like, fuck, you're a dick. But then, you know, like I said, then, then I got into a room one time sat down and he was just like, it was so helpful. nice just the nicest guy and ever since then he was totally cool but i think dr smith at the time had him she put him caught him in you know got him in line you know they they said her to they said her to the pen man yeah i heard that yeah they said her to the pen she because she
Starting point is 01:51:28 was doing some of the scumbag and shit like guys being them made it through the whole program and now with two weeks ago you you're kicking them out the program like for some shit like man listen when i got when i got the yazoo and i ain't take the drug program but them guys and that drug program was hanging the fuck out
Starting point is 01:51:49 they wasn't doing all that stupid pull-up shit you know what i'm saying they do the program after four o'clock they ain't on cell phones liquor smoking everything in that that damn unit man no she was that wasn't happening there she
Starting point is 01:52:03 she was having guys turn on each other i went to the program twice i did it twice damn well i dropped out both times just before like i did six months one time i think and i did seven months one time i dropped out both times damn so you did too many guys go in that program right man by the time they get out they got gray hair everywhere yeah a lot of stress you ain't supposed to be stressed inside I mean that's
Starting point is 01:52:39 that's like another world inside of prison to be in that unit It's like being inside a cult But listen The unit was quiet It was clean It was that was the best unit to be in Yeah
Starting point is 01:52:54 Um Well so what are you doing now Right Right now I'm focused on getting my music get my music out you know what I'm saying because I made I made a drop I made a couple of albums before I left I never got a chance to put them out you know what I'm saying so I'm working on that I'm working on put my label together so I can uh I got a few guys that's getting out that I want to sign you know like I want I want I want to sign people I want to build my label off of guys who getting out. who want to get their life together and want to do music? Whose heart set on doing music?
Starting point is 01:53:36 You know what I mean? That they don't want to go back to that street life, you know what I'm saying? But I got to show them like, look, okay, when you get out, money, money, money ain't going to be, you got to get your job. Folks selling dope, trying to go back to the street life because I'm not signing new artists to my label
Starting point is 01:53:56 that's in the streets. We can talk about the streets, but we're not going to be any motherfuckers. I'm not going to jeopardize my label, you feel I'm saying? So in the contract, that's what I'm going to have. If you bring anything that jeopardizes
Starting point is 01:54:12 trouble to this label as far as with police beefing with other artists and other things, I'm dropping you from this label, man. It's going to be in the contract. You know what I'm saying? Get your job and work.
Starting point is 01:54:29 and show me that you want to you want to be part of this label. I'm not just going to give you some money, man. I mean, I can, but I don't want to give you money in this contract and then you're going to go to the streets with it. All right. Why dump all your time and money and resources
Starting point is 01:54:45 into getting them something? I mean, how many guys are like that? Like, they'll actually be doing well and they're still fucking selling drugs and getting into gunfights. It's like, that's why you got into music to begin with was to get out of the fucking that life. Exactly. That's my point, you know what I'm saying? So I'm not, I'm not, I really don't want to, I really don't want to put too many artists on my label that I got to, I have to keep my eye on them. If I got to keep my eye on you, I really don't want, I really shouldn't have to be dealing with you. You feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:55:18 Well, you would think getting out, getting out of prison or doing prison time, you would think that while you were locked up, you'd realize that, you know, I don't need that much. Yeah. You know, that that that's what that selling drugs and, you know, being in a gang and that that's what got me in prison. Like, I'm willing to sacrifice to stay out of there at this. So, listen, that's what it taught me was like I, I, I'd rather be able, I'd rather have a lot less and be able to turn the television when I want to turn the TV. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I got a girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:56:01 Like, I got my own. Like, I don't need too much. I'm just taking pleasure in the simple things. Exactly. We take that for granted, man. Yeah. Yeah, I'm able to go cook more. Definitely got to stay out here.
Starting point is 01:56:20 Yeah, I'm working on that, my label. I'm working on a, I got a book coming out. Because I used to cook Lily Football. so we as coaches were father figures to some of the kids who didn't have fathers who were deceased or incarcerated, you know what I'm saying? Or simply just had a father
