Starting point is 00:07:26 Get in the game. Roman swipes. I'm talking about, you know, good, what, 100,000 rappers didn't do since you walked in? 100,000. That was last week. 100,000 rappers than went through it. Motherfucking is still here to still be here and to be able to build business. We've been to his restaurant about you never was there, though.
Starting point is 00:07:42 We're there like six, seven, eight times. Man, Gillie said he saw me in there. I was there. I was there. I was in there that time. You didn't come that time. Man, I had to apologize. But you can go on to continue.
Starting point is 00:07:51 bragging me go ahead no no so we go in the joint i'm gonna give him his props we're gonna salute him listen so when we go in there two times we had to leave because it was too many fucking people it was it was it was just too many you know i'm fucking run he got the munchies i'm just trying to eat some crab cakes and shit because i haven't been there before my man shout out to my man one five he took me there he said yo come come on come man you got eskimo you got to go here he took me there i'm like damn i ain't know about this because i used to be on peter street right near pwee long way spot yeah but but back when i was there you ain't have it there so when i double back he's like yo this We went in there one day.
Starting point is 00:08:22 It was a good vibe. The women was lovely in there. They was real nice. They manorism and they was nice to the eyes. So it was like it was a good, it was a good situation. Good decorations in it? It was some nice decorator. They decorated.
Starting point is 00:08:32 They decorate the scenery. You know what I mean, but it's like, what I love is that how you can, you just keep building. You're doing deals with a size. You're doing brand deals, the fashion. That's a major, man. Like, that's major. So I got to salute you because a lot of deals need to take notes on the aspect of a business. Not a rapper of business, a company, a corporate.
Starting point is 00:08:50 So we got to salute you for that. Let me ask you this question. When you said, you know, because when we first started kicking it, you know, you was tidable, you know, when you said, I'm coming back as two chains. Did you think the transition was going to be that smooth? Or do you just was like, man, I'm just doing something different, man. Fucking them two chains now. Like, how did it go about?
Starting point is 00:09:11 I don't know how I actually came up with the name two chains, but I always knew I had the it factor, whatever the it factor was. I felt like I can come into the room, you know, every since the eighth grade, I feel like I could sit at a lunch table by myself and it'll be crowded in 10, 15 minutes because people wanted to be around me. But I just couldn't figure out what my, it was.
Starting point is 00:09:34 I just knew I had, you know, I love basketball. I love traffic. Was you game strong? I mean, I'm somebody that was born naturally talented basketball, but when I was playing basketball, I also hustled at the same time. Oh, yeah. So, you know, I got a scholarship and everything,
Starting point is 00:09:51 but I didn't necessarily, like, work on my game, past practice. When I became a rapper, I went cold turkey on hustling. I put all my energy in this, and this is where it got me. So I don't know what it would have got me with basketball, but when teachers ask what you want to do when you grow up, I never said a job or anything. It would be, no, basketball, because I thought that was the closest thing to what I might be.
Starting point is 00:10:14 But, you know, as Titty Boy, people naturally. love me like my peers. Yeah, absolutely. People love me. You know what I'm saying? But I would see, you know, I studied psychology in college and I could look at facial expressions and body language. That's a form of communication. And, you know, I say my name, Titty Boy,
Starting point is 00:10:35 they'll do something. And it just wasn't, it was literally like the whole cliche of judging a book by its cover. You know what I'm saying? And soon as I'm talking about 60 seconds after me being professionally known as two chains my life changed straight up immediately you only immediately
Starting point is 00:10:56 I mean that's a really good name obviously and then I'm saying two chains and I'm wearing them and you know everything is adding up but like as soon as I change the name because you got to think I got signed based off so I'm in this neighborhood right quick story quick story I'm in a neighborhood that the airport is going to pay you to move
Starting point is 00:11:20 they're going to come into these apartments and they're going to give us a check so you can get a house because they need to use this land to build a runway. And so at this time, Ludacris, who was Chris Love a Lover, moved into my apartments just to get a check. Like he was that smart. I was already standing there,
Starting point is 00:11:38 but I've known him already, and I had worked on this compilation, which, you know, really like a mixtape. My first song I ever recorded was on this project. And I got all this feedback. People were saying, you know, that's good. You know, saying that's good. And so, you know, briefly after that,
Starting point is 00:11:57 they started talking about, you know, let's try to get a record deal. But, you know, everybody, my mom calling me tit and the whole neighborhood called me Titty boy, all this. So by the time that we started doing paperwork and all that, I don't have a rap name. I'm just like, I don't have like MC. I don't even have that.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm not really, you know, I'm doing cyphers. I remember I used to do cyphers. Like I thought, I wasn't even sure if I was a rapper because I wouldn't, I wouldn't hurry up and get in the site. I didn't do rap stuff. You know what I'm saying? But when I changed my name, my life changed.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I'm still tit, though, like everybody. Yeah, everybody. He's still titty. Titty boy. Now, before we get it, because I got a big question to ask him.

That's how, I mean, besides. Shit was 20 years ago, but shit legal now. Nah, no, I mean, in Atlanta, they ain't even tripping.
Starting point is 00:14:35 They do, like, right now, it really ain't no good packs in the lump. Oh, dude. You know what I'm saying? You ain't bullshit that. He must smoke real weed. Yeah. But, you know, my stuff is there, you know what I'm saying? And I, you know, Gilly, all you got to do is hit me.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Say them what's your stuff. What's the name of it? This stuff that I like to smoke. Oh, wow. I thought it was like a certain type of, you know. I thought it was a company. You know, we ain't going to get caught up in the names. We like.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah, we like good. Yeah, absolutely. Because what happened now, we're in the industry. Well, now they really, marketing majors, you come up with a good name and packaging. You could sell. Yeah. You can sell a mid to somebody. and have them thinking that it's good.
Starting point is 00:15:14 So I don't even get caught up into that. No, but how you were saying that, I thought you might have had your own string. Yeah, I was working on my own strain. It's called gas, and I had 87, 89, and 93, but I'm revamping that with somebody that could provide and hold up to inventory of what I, you know. I was getting rid of them on the streets,
Starting point is 00:15:29 you know, good damn well. They ain't going to stand a dispensary if I come up with an idea. So you got to be able to keep up with what I got going on. So the whole motherfucker on Atlanta, don't be fucking mad at me no more. No, it's a, it's a, too chase. He just told y'all, it isn't a lot of good. And you got to know the one or two people that got the good. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Everybody else just really. Everybody got them duke and designer bags. Come on. Come on. They got the bag the bags. The packaging in Atlanta is fucking remarkable. My partner, I love the package. My partner, Cat one, do the packages.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Cat one, I used to do the music. I'm talking about it. He got them, what's him called my larry bags? He got all the little bags with this. You know, he know I'll be fascinated about the bags. A nigger, a nigger in Atlanta. or bring you some shit like hold on nigga he'll pull that shit in the gold case
Starting point is 00:16:15 listen he'll pull that shit out of bag this death it'll be a little coughing the weed of being a nigga this deaf nigga I don't know how to sell it you got no how to sell it you smoke that shit you like that this shit deafed in my fucking throat because this shit killing my shit yeah man no we we you know
Starting point is 00:16:31 I can't I I have to hold up my end of the bargain I came in the game like being that kind of guy so you know man I think I'm reputable and people know what they're going to get with They even hang out with me smoking. Yeah, he said that. I'm keeping real.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I think you had better. I think you had better weave back in the day that these. Man, I did. I had, you know, you know what we're going on. You know where I was around, Gilly. To have better weed. The day that these things got nailed, man, 20-something years later, but I'm telling you. I think it's hard because it's so easily accessible and that shit everywhere now.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah. So it's like you don't know which. And like he said, we living in the world where it's, though, the look is the hook. So if that shit packaged, they feel that. Oh, yeah, this is. They got the good logo on there. Yeah, and weed is now used for, you know, different purposes. You know, you got one for stress, for calmness, for sleep.
Starting point is 00:17:19 They got all these different categories when normally it was just like, which one going to get you there? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm still on that one. Which one are you going to get you there right? I need to be high as a miniskirt.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Now, you know what I like to talk about? When we talk about longevity in the game, I like to talk about artists and how they do these business, pivot, how they were able to pivot? When did you start getting the game? He was like, I got to have my own studio. I got to have my own restaurant. I got to have, when did you start?
Starting point is 00:17:46 Because I'm seeing dudes, you know, and you see it. I didn't see an artist that I haven't been up on. They were interviewing whatever. They go from a year and a half ago, getting $30,000 to show. Now they wiped out. You don't see them. They're done because there ain't nobody. When did you say I got to pivot and I got to take this fucking money so I could be here forever?
Starting point is 00:18:04 That's a good question, brother. All right. So when I did sell the week, you know, I was selling the packs. I started, that's how I even met Wayne through Baby. I booked my session at Patchwork. I booked my session at Patchwork, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I booked my session at Patchwork, and I was in the B-room smoking, and Baby, he wasn't smoking at the time, but he had a bunch of guys with him, you know what I'm saying? They smoked, and so they was like, who got that? I came to the back. I met Baby,
Starting point is 00:18:40 whatever, and I end up going to New Orleans shortly after that, and that's how I met Wayne. But for the most part, when I had my deal with DTP, I used to have to ask for studio time. You know what I'm saying? Like, no matter how bad I wanted to rap, I had to go through a protocol, which is cool. I have to call this person. I had to call this person. And they would let me know if I could rap that night. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:01 And, um, man, Dollar was like, man, we need to get our own spot because primarily we still was trapping. So we needed a spot to hang out at during the date. You know, we just needed a spot, you know what I'm saying? And so we end up getting a spot. It's called 5540. It's off old national. And I got the jury pieces and I talk about it sometimes. So we end up getting this spot.
Starting point is 00:19:21 And we got it late at night one time. When we first got the spot, it was late at night and it was wintertime. And we went and got these little heaters from Walmart. And we just sat in there and then they got sick, just smoking just like, this is our spot. And it took us over a year to put a studio in them. And we literally, like, built a relationship with guitar. and, you know, we just was paying for this stuff I said, but we're really hustling,
Starting point is 00:19:41 and I'm really trying to wait on him to go in half, because we got to do the, like, have, you know what I mean? And we ended up getting the studio, and once I owned the studio, I went on tour with Wayne, and I learned what to do with the studio. It was just a, it was just, you know, a spot before, and I rapped, but I did not rap every day.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Like, it's a job, like, you know, I get, like, this a job. I don't was supposed to be like rapping only on Wednesday what the fuck wrong with me how I'm gonna get some every day yeah so I had a studio I owned it
Starting point is 00:20:14 and I did you know Wayne did double bad boys for me so he goes on tour and the first night he does my verse on stage like I heard like someone like Wayne did your brother
Starting point is 00:20:23 I'm like damn people I already thought the nigga wrote my verse because it was it was high level and walking to the Gucci store I'm home popping shit I'm really living like that you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:20:32 so I talked to him he was like bro I can't just like stop on the hook like if you don't come out here I'm going to have to do your verse so I end up going on tour with him and then just watching him get off stage eat, whatever
Starting point is 00:20:43 and rap to the next morning like I go to sleep, wake up home still rapping selling a million records a week he's still rapping and I started you know I really start analyzing my call like people I had on my phone and I started building up this thing
Starting point is 00:20:59 where it was no baby you know deity and I'm looking at this and although I don't know what the account got I know they're millionaires I know they're millionaires. I know these guys are million. And I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:21:13 I got to be one of them all. I got to be one of them over. I got to figure out a way to get me some meat. So when I went back home, I went cold turkey on the weed. And niggas thought I was joking, man. Come on, man. Come on with the bull's shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Give me the game. I'm like, bro. I'm fin to do their rap shit. You know, the whole studio, they still doing what we're doing, but I don't sell weed no more. Like, you know, really had to make an adjustment because I was selling some of my weed
Starting point is 00:21:36 that I'd come back and tell you to get me a zip because I wouldn't open and none of the weed up. I was taking the power selling this whole power. I wasn't selling sleep. I ain't need, you know. You ain't got to get in that. Yeah. So, you know, I can now, you know.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yeah. And then I say, I wake up, I say, man, I'm going to go cold turkey. And they're like, man, I'm like, bro, I'm telling you now my verse is going to cost more than a brick. They're going to cost more than a bed. They're going to watch my, I'm just thinking my 16. I had a conversation with a nigga and a trap about. that you know what i mean how that conversation go um they can actually i can actually have them
Starting point is 00:22:12 tell you but but um it was memorable because it was like some go-head-on shit because i had never i've been hustling literally since the seventh grade under my mother's my mom supervision me and my mama even went in on dope before and and we've been busted before so we had that you know what saying that kind of relationship.

Starting point is 00:25:58 with two chains heads so sometimes I got to break shit down in the deleterous form so y'all can understand it. Sometimes you come to a point in life where you got to make a motherfucking decision, man. He had to make a decision.
Starting point is 00:26:14 His decision was, do I want to be straight or do I want to be great? I'm straight right now selling weed. I'm good. But this shit over here can make me great. It's a difference. He had to make that decision.
Starting point is 00:26:30 That nigger went back into an atmosphere. I want all the youngest to understand this. He went into an atmosphere where all his homies still won't just be straight. And the nigger said, no, I'm cool on that shit. Man, you tripping, nigga, you'll be back. No, no. I got a bigger vision. Sometimes niggas can't see your motherfucking vision, man.
Starting point is 00:26:54 So when a nigger can't see your vision, man. nigger can't see your vision when you go to them and they don't understand your vision, that ain't to derail you from still seeing your vision. Because another motherfucker can't see through your eyes. So sometimes it's up to you to make the decision
Starting point is 00:27:09 where you going at in life. He made the right decision. I could sell this weed, I could still, and I could be straight. Or I could do this shit over here and put my all into it and be great, man. I can guarantee one thing I can guarantee you is
Starting point is 00:27:25 If he would have stayed on a straight path, he wouldn't have half this shit he got right now that he got this on that great path. So Youngers want to come to you and you got to make that decision, make the right motherfucking decision, man. And one of the things, what he said was this. He's popping, he won't tour with Wayne in them.
Starting point is 00:27:42 You know how the street grain go change. If you got the pack and your name popping, more niggas want to say, I'm grabbing from such and such. So the money coming, I'm talking about the money coming from all fucking angles because you used to have five motherfuckers or ten motherfuckers he'd deal with. Now you got 40
Starting point is 00:27:56 because they want to be able to say I just grab them chains So to be able to stop at that moment When your name popping That's discipline That's discipline And rest and peace to my pop My pop was
Starting point is 00:28:07 My pop got out of prison In 03 I moved him with me right And he was a street dude Like when he passed I found a couple bags and some money Because he was dealing with my people

I had $2.50, right? Then I had bought, I had a total of three safes. I had a safe put up where I had it put up.

Starting point is 00:29:05 And it had like 20 grand And that was just in case Because I'm from a neighborhood Where you own, it'd be your own people It's always your own people You know what I'm saying If something ever happened It was like, you know
Starting point is 00:29:16 Take this And leave you know what I'm saying It's small, it's money It's not all the money But you know Thank God that never happened happened to us so I had this safe but so now I'm running out of places to keep money right I'm still staying in a in a neighborhood where the houses are around 140 160 which is good
Starting point is 00:29:35 back then when I'm doing my thing I got my own house I got a two car garage I got a basement probably about 160 so then I got this dog peeing in the back my dad taking care of my dogs but I'm like so I get to 300 and 300 cash you know what I'm saying and it ain't really fucking with my money no more because the dude I was messing with he's sending me 40-50 without no money no more you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:30:01 I just got a I'm just like sitting at the end of the bed counting all their money Keisha's thinking like we rich half of this stuff belong to the really most of it belong to the plug like 80% of this money
Starting point is 00:30:13 right I'm sitting at the end of the bed you know what I'm saying but I ain't have to touch my money I'm just really adding to my money so I'm like I'm really like damn I've seen these little movies where they, you know, they bury money. Oh, I'm getting it. Well, they buried money, so I say, I was like, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:39 I don't trust my dad like that, you know what I'm saying? I know exactly what you say. Oh, that's crazy. I'm like, I'm like, if he helped me, if he helped me, if he, he helped me if he helped me put his money up I'm gonna come back that shit gonna fuck around me
Starting point is 00:31:00 go on one day because I had already bought him a car right I bought him a car when he got out it was like a Ford Torres and then you know like his birthday on Christmas and one day I see you know Cadillac came out with like the new Cadillac cooped with him
Starting point is 00:31:13 so I come home one day and it's a Cadillac with a red ribbon on it and I'm just got to be one of the most naive niggies in the world I come home and I think it's my uncle uncle's car so I'm like who's car
Starting point is 00:31:27 this? He don't need to tell him like shit I'm like I'm like who's car is this and then you know my dad just he was short
Starting point is 00:31:35 my dad's 5-9 white skin totally opposite of me you know what I'm saying just but he had a super angle problem so he go he go he go
Starting point is 00:31:42 he goes he's my fucking car you know what I'm saying fuck shit I'm setting something years I want something I want I was like shit
Starting point is 00:31:50 all right well what a car I bought you I traded it in I was like, damn, you know what I'm saying? You know, the car I was spent was like $5,000. He took that trade in and got out of my capital. Because he's hustling, he's doing. He's doing my partners now. They're his partners.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You know what I'm saying? And I wanted to stash some money in my yard. And I didn't. I didn't. I just didn't feel comfortable telling him. And Lord, please forgive me. But I didn't feel comfortable. So it started feeling like it was about time.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Because I felt like, honestly, bro, the way I was going, I felt like I was about to be a millionaire in the streets. Like, I was right down the street. I'm like three something. You know what I'm saying? Three something. And it's really like, you know, what's next? Four something.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Then like half a me. Because, you know, in the streets, if you got three something, you got your jury, you got your crib. You got a business. I got a beamer. I got a. It's like you got it. Yeah. I'm there.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I'm that cat. I'm there. I got a good, good, decent, decent Cali plug. You know what I'm saying? Real decent, you know? And how are we getting them to me? me it's just man I really changed the game I'm really like a myth to young niggas like once they see me they like I heard so much about you you know what I'm
Starting point is 00:33:01 saying you yeah but like man that angle right there but anyway that was that was some of the things that led me to be in cold turk I had some money I had a car I had a house you know so everybody straight and I'm running out of places to actually put money it's just a situation where you just knew it was a matter of time for it was going to slip away from I think when, you know, I came to your studio one time, the tech brought me, and I seen it, to see it is different because you hear about it, you hear about it, and so many rappers, you know, you hear it in songs so many times.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You hear it, but I don't think people understand the money when you're sending them invoices back to the labels for that motherfucking studio time. Oh, yeah. I don't think they understand. I was at my homeboy pop studio, when he had to send an invoice to, I said, God damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:47 You mean the boy that was just, this, that? The bag on the studio shit is just like unbelievable and I don't think people understand it. I think, another thing I think is when you own a studio, I think you can have maximum
Starting point is 00:34:02 creativity. Yes, yes. That's your own room. For more than one reason, you're able to maybe, you know, stop an idea, maybe get back to it later. You're able to. When you want to. Yeah. When you book studio time, I book studio
Starting point is 00:34:18 time when I landed last night I didn't even pee because it's on the clock and if I really would have to pee I would like now you're spending two-fid some hours so it's like pull that up
Starting point is 00:34:33 pull that up no matter how rich I am we're not just finding to be in here hanging out I see them in voices too and that's what made me you know what I'm saying get my own spot and then you know I just told you what made me go from hustling out
Starting point is 00:34:48 the spot that was called a studio to actually using it as a studio and everything changed from it.

Starting point is 00:36:20 Yeah, man. That studios, it's a good... You and your niggas just kicked it. Yeah, it's a good hustle. It's like... Yes, it is. A lot of people are going to try it. But, you know, I feel like if you're going to try,

You got to be able to put your teeth in the game a little bit. You know what I mean? Any artist, I mean, whether you... You're buying studio time or buying your own spot. You've got to spend some money on yourself, man,
Starting point is 00:36:46 for anybody to believe that shit. For me, I feel like when you get your own studio, you get the freest version of you. You know what I mean? Because you're going to be free. You're at the crib. You're going to be willing to try different shit. You and your whole element.
Starting point is 00:37:00 You know the engineer. You're fully comfortable whatever. So you cool with, let me just try some shit. If it come out whack, then fucking only my niggas heard it. But I was just trying some shit, you know, to be different. So, you know, I feel like when you got your own studio, you be the freest version of you like because you could just do whatever it's going to be all right
Starting point is 00:37:19 fuck it y'all gonna laugh about it oh no that shit ain't come out hot you do that shit at one of these studios in new york niggas still got the session low key you know what I mean to six months later he put the shit out you don't even know how the shit got leaked
Starting point is 00:37:34 you like what the fuck so you got gilly singing this shit yeah right so uh you know when you get your own studio man you can really just operate at your own time your own pace you know really do your own thing And it don't cost that much.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Back in the day, studios used to cause that asshole full of money. Now you get a studio for $5,000, man. But see, one thing I like about change is not just that type of shit. Like, you with these brands is just ridiculous. The way you'd be partnering up, sneakers, you'd be doing all the type of shit. Crystal, you know what I mean? It's jumping off. This creative director here.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Like, how do you, I understand you and tech been together for a long time? First of all, what is the importance of that, having a good manager? You need a good team. You need somebody that is great at what they do in every position. I think I'm trying to master that. I'm close to mastering that. If you get a manager, you need him to be the best version of himself. If you're a road manager, if you get a photographer, if you get an engineer,
Starting point is 00:38:37 whatever it is, they have to do what they do at a very high level to match the greatness that you're trying to put out and take. and Street is X and I. We've been together since maybe 2010. I was approached by them. But basically, they're telling me that I was a star. They see that I'm a star. They could see it.
Starting point is 00:38:56 And it's like something Tech and I've been talking about recently is about being inside the bottle versus being, you know, outside the bottle. And inside the body, sometimes you might don't know that you're a star. You know what I'm saying? So it felt good to be approached. and told something that I was already confident about. And so, you know, we basically shook on it, man.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I told them if they could bring some value to me, you know, give me some shows or whatever. We was going to rock out. And, you know, we've done, we've been around the sun, you know, five, ten times. At what point, though, like you made the transition from Titty to two chains? When you made the transition, at what point did you was like, okay, nigga, I'm in? like you know what I'm saying that moment like that moment we're like okay
Starting point is 00:39:48 yeah I made it this shit going down now nigga I'm in I crossed the line oh man you know during this time Gilly I'm getting called
Starting point is 00:39:59 every day from somebody to just popping though you gotta think I'm still inside the bottle I don't know right so I got everybody
Starting point is 00:40:06 just like you poping you know what I'm saying everybody you name it I'm talking about you name it everybody right and uh you know that that you know that was a sense of reassurance that was a sense of you know confidence and then you know anytime i needed a feature or people started you know
Starting point is 00:40:26 asking me for features which really started you know resonating and even when i did mercy which you talked about earlier that was an invite it was almost like going through like you know an orientation at a university right because i get called to i get called to a hotel and they tell me Yay is there, but Yay's not there, you know what I'm saying? But they got a studio set up on the top floor, you know what I'm saying? And my room was across the street from the studio, and they had everybody in there from Tiana to Sahai and a few other people that I may be missing. But they built a studio in there, and, you know, I don't even want to brag on myself.
Starting point is 00:41:06 But as you know, I did, you know, I had a highlight reel. I just had a great day. They was pulling up songs, and, you know, niggas thought I had these verses already written how that I was coming off the top smashing this shit. And I see somebody go call and I guess they'll pull up. I guess J. Tett will pull up another song. I knocked that bitch. I hell go to another room, man.
Starting point is 00:41:27 He's done with that shit. You know what I'm saying? And I just have so many members of so much stuff that I talk, like, that I talk about is based off, like my, it's not hard for me to do stuff because I've lived long enough, which is a blessing, and I've been through a lot of ups. and down. Real good stuff, real, you know, valleys and peaks. So I'm able to put this in my music. And I'm educated. I'm like a, I'm an educated street nigger. I'm a super fucking hero. They don't just make, they don't make this. I literally have a fucking scholarship in psychology.
Starting point is 00:41:58 And I done did that in the streets. Like, I have. You know what I'm saying? And so I know this. And at this time, I go do, you know, and Mercy was one of the songs I did that night and I end up getting a call. And this is before I even putting out my first hour. They're like, this Mercy song going to be a single. But, you know, by then I'm in my bag. I'm working with some of the biggest and best artists in the world. Drake blessing me with no lie.
Starting point is 00:42:23 You know, just all this stuff that's just happening at the right time. It's starting to feel the same way now. Like, I'm real spiritual and I just really be moving off, like, momentum and feelings and energy. And right now, like, what you said about me, like, rebranding myself. I do that probably every two or three years. Like, I'm a real businessman. man, like the stuff that I do in rap
Starting point is 00:42:42 is what they're doing in businesses. I just incorporated in this shit, you know what I'm saying? This is what businesses do. They ain't done to change the whole name on Facebook right in front of your face, you know what I'm saying? And just like, you just got to know how to do that. And I do that. This will probably be my, like, this album feels so good.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Like, the feedback I'm getting the rollout. And that's what it's supposed to do. This music, I don't pose to be stressing. I'm a million now. I don't post to be worried about if I'm having no op or no book shit like that you know what I'm saying fuck a little fuck no
Starting point is 00:43:13 I'm good so you know just to ask you a question man you know it just start you know I felt it I started feeling that you needed that how important was that reinsurance though
Starting point is 00:43:25 it's all you know it's always when niggas calling you when you first getting in the game the niggas calling you like nigga you hot yo I fuck with you you like nigga there's Drake on the phone yeah yeah what the fuck oh yo nigga you that shit well this the interesting thing about
Starting point is 00:43:38 Drake is I, you know, he was on tour with Wayne when I told y'all went out there. That's when I met Drake. So I knew everybody on Young Money for the most part, and I'm not sure if I knew Nicky yet, but she was on tour. So when I first saw Drake
Starting point is 00:43:53 on stage, I thought because a lot of people from New Orleans, they're Creole, like, you know what I'm saying? And I thought that just because he was like a little lights, you know, whatever, I thought he was like one of Wayne's like Young Money Partners from, you know, New Orleans. But, you know, I would be, when I was on tour, I would be with Wayne all the time.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Like, on this, he had his own personal bus, and he had a studio bus. I lived on the studio bus, so we spent a lot of time together. And I remember Wayne watching a show that they just did, like, the night before. And I remember him saying, like, it was yesterday, it might have been Ohio. And Drake came out with, like, maybe Ohio State shirt all, you know what I'm saying? And I remember Wayne saying, like, this boy here, a genius. Like, he gets it, you know what I'm saying? And they were playing, like, the, his eyes.
Starting point is 00:44:38 album you know i want to be successful all these stuff on the album so i heard and i just knew he was like really well grown when it come to rap but i met him then and so when i started let me see if i meet drake around 0708 i started you know popping a couple of years later it was cool to run back into him on some day one shit and it wasn't hard to get that done like then we both was kicking him when we wasn't on the bus yeah walking through the crowd with no security you know what i'm saying now now he's super piped up and i'm on my way up so he does you know he still does a good job of pulling people like it's funny because Gil always say that like
Starting point is 00:45:12 a shout out of Drake because what Drake do he wanted to do is that he'll see an artist on the ground and go pick him up he did that but if you look to certain people who songs he dropped on from 21 block boy Migo he just always do that
Starting point is 00:45:27 baby you know even though baby wasn't that but still he know how to hit you right there and give you that shot and you get you out of it. It's a unique place that he's in and I don't know how he knows it or it's just got a good heart or whatever but a lot of stuff he yeah you're right a lot of stuff that he touches it I mean from then on it's almost like he's taking the training wheels off you know what I'm saying you ought to bait a ride from now you can't
Starting point is 00:45:50 hold that bike up out of that it's really like you got to look at yourself right yeah you because you got to get people something to land on you let me ask you a question who the who the top five artists you work with in the game the top five artists to you that I've worked with personally in the game would be obviously Wayne. It would be Kanye West. It'll be Drake. See, this way it gets juicy. I think you get the first three out.
Starting point is 00:46:16 It's over. Then this one it gets juicy. No, no, I'm going to tell you. Now, we're talking about artists that I like working with. Artists, artists, artists. Oh, yeah, Quavo. Okay. Quabo, one of my favorite. We were just in the studio the other night. We were in a heart. Yep. My brother never switched. And then that's four. And who somebody else that pulled up on me at the crib. we had a good time. I like working with, Ferrell is a producer, but he's an artist.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Let me think of somebody else. Fez watching was the shit, too. Yeah. That production and the way he was laying on that one. That was strong. Yeah, I wanted to do good in front of him because I know he worked with everybody. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:46:55 You know, like, I rap in front of, like, I just did in front of Timler. I like to, like, the producer. I like when to pull up the beat now, I do a song in front of him. Because I just know y'all been in front of, like, all the, you know, the best. And so, like, Ferreira left a Grammy's party or something.
Starting point is 00:47:11 When I was in the studio, smoking, he told me later that he's never been around that much smoke, even, you know, fucking with Snoop. So that's why the beat kind of had a, kind of like a Caribbean vibe to it. He said, that's why he made it. Because when I got there, I played my album. When he got there, I played my album, then he told him, full tuxedo to bring out, you know, MPs and all this. And he's making a beat.
Starting point is 00:47:34 and I'm writing a song in my head. That shit was just crazy. At this time, I don't have as many gigabytes as I. I just could remember, like, I could write a song and be like, wait until you track it out, whatever, sit it. You know, so at this time, I'm like, man, he needs to hurry up and pull this up, you know what I mean. And I do this verse, you know, it later has become, you know, feds watching. But, like, he's somebody that I enjoy working with because he don't want to do nothing regular. He don't want to do the first thing to come to your mind.
Starting point is 00:48:00 He doesn't want to do that. You know what I mean? And I appreciate that. that would probably be we'll producer worked you the hardest producer that worked me the hardest no nigga that ain't it do it over again you're like wait
Starting point is 00:48:15 Nick I just did it 46 times what the fuck is going on no one has ever told me to do a verse over one time I did a no I'm not saying like go write the verse over but you know you might rapping them up no do it a little bit more energy you know oh
Starting point is 00:48:31 Dr. Drake Oh, Dr. Dr. Dr. All right. What did he tell you? Here we go. Because I'm like, hold on. There's always one producer that Zosa. They always saw that.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Man, Dr. Dre sat right here. And what did he tell you? Well, I was right here. And what he told you? Just like. Come on, man. Take that shit back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:53 And like. Do it over. So really, I was trying to explain to Dr. Drake that a southern black kid with an overbite is going to sound different. than a suburban white kid from Detroit is just going to we're going to announce he ate or whatever pronouncing stuff is different you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:49:13 and he'd be like no just you know say it like this and not it was such a great experience but it was so hard to hey Dre wanted him to say shit the proper way he and he just want me to and he wants me to stack it a few you know I'm somebody I do I might do one pass just my voice I just like people to hear just that one
Starting point is 00:49:33 I'm voice, a little revert. But he, like, stack it again. Damn. I'm like, I'm not good at saying the same thing the same way. You know, over. Stack it when I'm talking, like, damn, this is five times. Yeah, you're like, I'm like, well, I don't normally, I wish I could be on another song in my own studio.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Yeah. But I get. What he taught you then? Where, why he's where he is, he pays special attention to detail. He don't go for the first thing to come up. He really, I mean, everything was just so. If I had to really just zero down on the experience where the producer was literally sitting right here
Starting point is 00:50:14 while I was trying to write or do my song, it would be Dr. Dre. And I wouldn't want it to be nobody else because that's the experience. I just don't, I just, I needed that experience. That was something on my bucket list. Did you ever, have you ever been around, you know, because you're from the A on the studio
Starting point is 00:50:31 with $300,000? Yes. Yes, I mean, he came to one of my sessions. One time, Ye came to town, to street, and then Ye came, and Big Boy came, Bentley came, and Sahai came, and 3K came, and we just had an auxiliary chord night, you know what I'm saying? And that's how I found out that my song, Watch Out was a singer or a hit, because it was like when I was playing my song, they were like, what's this? and it was from that thing but yeah I've been in the studio with him and he kind of got in the corner
Starting point is 00:51:05 and let you know what he was fucking with and wouldn't react to people so fucking with it but he's one of my favorite artists of all time yeah everybody say stacks is like that guy no man he's somebody out
Starting point is 00:51:18 you know I just learn from just you know coming up he was represented the Southside he was being unique he can't care what people said about him I love that minus yourself who's the top five a lead of artists all the whole time I mean, because you know
Starting point is 00:51:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, minus myself. We definitely got Andre 3K. Mm-hmm. Of all time, we got Andre. Mm-hmm. I would say tip, GZi, Future, and, uh, in Gucci. That's a hell of a starting five.
Starting point is 00:51:52 You know who get left out a lot, though? Who, who, who, because we always ask the, you know, a land of artists that, Jermaine Debrie left out a lot Well, he's not a rapper He's a producer
Starting point is 00:52:01 But he did a lot for He had albums out too He had records out and shit He'd fuck you talk about They did producer No, be a producer though But it seemed like One thing I noticed about Atlanta
Starting point is 00:52:11 When you know Me always looking at hip hop as a whole Atlanta always come With the With the package of You had one artist But it seemed like They always put somebody on
Starting point is 00:52:24 Ravis 21 thug They always got somebody around that's coming out. It's a branch. They always creating branches. They create a tree. It ain't like they just, you never see somebody
Starting point is 00:52:33 that wears down to Atlanta where it's just, where it's just, even down the peewee. He got his own thing. No matter. It's like everybody got them, but they got people
Starting point is 00:52:40 that they push into. And that's what makes it strong, I believe. And I believe in Atlanta, somebody says, I mean, you know, we used to talk about different cities and why different cities
Starting point is 00:52:49 don't flourish like Atlanta. And I was telling somebody, I said, you know, Atlanta was just like area of the city, poverty stricken, you know, it was the ghetto. But what happened
Starting point is 00:52:58 is once you start getting a bunch of people that's moving, you got to stand, if you're in the city and you got five people booming, now it was to the kids and the other people, they inspired to really turn up in music because I see you with a track hawk. I see Gild and the reef. I see this boy in the Lambo. And it turns the city up
Starting point is 00:53:14 and it makes people, and that's what Atlanta do, because when you go to Atlanta, like, that was the first place I went to when I came on from prison. I went to Atlanta was down there, and I lost my fucking mind when I seen all the black people driving the Lamborgines. I thought that shit only happened on Rodel Drive some fucking white folks. Because I've never been You know, I was in jail all this time.
Starting point is 00:53:29 So I'm at Lennox. I'm like, hold up. How the fuck three black people just get out of these fucking cars? Like, what's going on? I can attest that. I think that, well, I know. That came from BMF, though. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:40 When they came to the city, that's how they was moving. And it aspired just generations and people just after them. You know, that's where we, that's where you first saw, you know, 10 Lamborghinis, a lot of one crew. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:53:56 That's when you started. I, I think, think that's when people started wanting crews you know what i'm saying and wanting everybody look beyond yeah you know whether we whether it was conscious or unconsciously that's how they move you know everybody on the same t-shirt they got the same emotional towel they ain't nobody everybody you know ride in a certain way so i remember visually seeing this i remember them you know i remember me because i had okay so what happened was when i'm from we had money but we wouldn't spend it if that makes sense you know what i'm saying just have
Starting point is 00:54:28 You just have money, so, like, might have a nice car, but don't drive it until, like, the weekend. Yeah, something going on, get it. You're riding in the, you got nice clothes, but you don't put on no clothes during the week. You're looking, trying to look, dressed down, you know what I'm saying? And then when they came, they kind of, like, kind of set the bar to the way, like, damn, at least I got to put some clothes. Like, damn, I got to drive this car every day now, you know what I'm saying? Like, I get another car.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Yeah, you know what I mean? So that's kind of, I think, they set it up, you know, early 2000s, you know, 040. You're not lying, because I was down there doing those times, and I'm going to keep it real. You know, I see, I know and seen street niggas all across America. I ain't never seen no niggas do it like them. I'm just keeping it real, man. Them niggas do so much money in the club one night. I was like, these niggas is going to jail just for tax evasion.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Just like, like, you standing over there and you like these niggas. If the people are here, these niggas is going down for taxes. How much, how much fucking money y'all threw it here tonight? Art imitates life. You hear it all the time. Yeah. A lot of that, that was a lot of those images that people saw with, like, make it rain. You know, that came from them.
Starting point is 00:55:47 That's the dead. Boys, by all the ones out of the club. I remember getting some ones from, I can't think of that, but it was one of, like, meets like a little girl home girls or whatever she would have like a trash bag of one and I remember like going to her while they standing on stage and like I mean all that standing
Starting point is 00:56:07 on the table smoking in the club wasn't you weren't able to do that until they did it and buck don't know if it because securities are going to come around like give me $20 or put you out you know what I mean they that was they hustling then you'd be like man you ain't saying that and them pussy ass niggie you know what I'm saying started getting secured up then standing on like
Starting point is 00:56:23 chairs was never like I mean all this stuff I'm talking about now sounds super normal i know i do but like standing on furniture was like chairs was made to be sense so when you see people come in standing on so we used to be like man what the hell like y'all ain't gonna say that so there's a lot of things there's small things that got injected from the culture when uh the way misteen was moving absolutely the niggas was moving heavy heavy so man you got the album man let's talk about the album man let's talk about the album dope don't sell itself out now dope don't sell itself yeah dude don't sell itself yeah man yeah man
