It'd be pain?
Pain.
You grew up singing, bro?
You always had that in you?
Like, I always knew I could sing, like, growing up, like, around the house and shit.
But, you know, my brother, my brother, the one who, like, he was the music one.
So he's always, like, like, bro, sing this part of the song.
I'm a route this part.
So, bro, really, like, used to have me, like, on some shit, like, singing all the time, like, practicing songs and shit.
So, yeah, I didn't grow up singing type of shit.
What's what I was, what you know?
Like, when did you know what was going to be like, yo, I really could be that, I could be that nigga.
I could really come up off this
I could be him
shit to be honest bro
I ain't really believe in the shit
I thought this shit
was just some shit on TV
you feel me
but I started to see like
other niggas my age
you feel me
with kind of my same background
like damn
them nils can do that shit too
you know what I'm saying
it's like Kodag
and you know what
I didn't grow up
watching them niggas
so I'm like damn
I could do that shit too
you feel what I'm saying
like
I ain't a lot
as I grew up
the rap game got closer
and easier to get into
you feel what I'm saying
Like, you ain't need no bunch of, you know what I'm saying?
Big-ass video shooting none of that shit.
Like, you just need a nigga with a camera or mic.
You know what I'm saying?
This shit is simple now to get in that shit.
Like, so.
And I'm not going to lie.
I think the, I may be wrong.
But to my knowledge, the first artist that started breaking through doing that shit was Chicago artists.
The first artist that I seen was Chief Keefe, who just every video was at the nika house.
Right.
Like, break the cameras out
Press recording on the motherfuckers
Let's go
Yeah, I think bro really
Started that whole era
Because like I was still in the middle school
And bro doing that shit
But I still was like
Damn, it's easier
You feel what I'm saying
He probably like
The people who I was looking at
He probably made them like
You know what I'm saying
They could do that shit too
So it all just trickle down type of shit
But I remember sitting at home
Watching Chief Keith like that
That nigga young as fuck
Watching bro vlogs
Him and soldier around the Ferrari and shit
I'd be at home watching that shit
Like I was legit
Like 14 as though
So I sure really made me believe
And I said

from the water they use to the grains they select
everything everything every step
to distilling the process
find your wins with New Hampshire
and Vaca when you're out about at your local liquor store
make sure you get you some right
and it's funny you say that because I use you
for a lot of artists I talk to I'll become artists
in in artists as really
on it. I always go to your videos and
use them like, yo, y'all got to start giving up
this. They're like, what you're talking about? You've got to give up
the light. I'm seeing you
record on the bus, recording the
hotel, recording the Airbnb,
on the tour bus, at
the gas station. You're doing a whole
like, the whole time we've seen you work the
process, the music is playing. So I'm like, why you
niggas don't give him a vlog? He's vlogging and shooting video.
Whoever this editor is, they're catching all this
content. You're sleeping on the tour bus.
You had the hotel with the
mic right. Like, you was the first one
and I seen with the whistle name Mike.
You know the John would you put the...
That was the first time.
I said, yo, what the fuck is that?
Then the studio boy was like,
you got one of them in one of the rooms.
I ain't know what it was,
but I thought it was like some special mic shit.
But you was always on that.
And when you say,
and I'm big on that,
all you need is a cameraman,
Apollo and a MacBook and a mic.
And you're out of here.
If you really on that shit.
I feel like shit.
When I first started,
I just felt like I wasn't giving the people enough.
But I didn't want to know.
I didn't know how to, like, force it on them, like, big-time videos.
Like, I hated them shit.
So I just was like, bro, just follow me around, bro, clip.
Like, one time on one of my cameramen's had put, like, a little video together, like a recap video.
And he put one of the songs over it that hand came out.
Yeah, I was like, that shit.
That's the music video right there.
You feel what I'm saying?
Like, he was following me around for, like, three weeks.
And then he showed me, like, the recap of it with one of my songs over.
And I was like, bro, we're just going to do it like that.
I ain't fin to be, you know what I'm saying?
No, three-fold.
I was out of video shoot
and fortunate and fake acting
I ain't going to be doing all that, bro.
Just following me around, you feel
me?
That's a shout out to his cameraman
because that means
when he brought you the material back
it was good enough
to give you a feeling of like,
oh, this is a motherfucking music video
right here, this is bigger
than just a motherfucking recap.
Yeah, like, this is my life,
you feel what I'm saying?
Like, I ain't, I ain't
fend to be in those studio
like, you know what I'm saying?
I do it now, you know what I'm saying,
just to get people something
like to paint the picture
more vividly.
But back then,
I just felt like, bro, this is my life I'm talking about.
So it just followed me with the camera, bro.
Like, this is my real life.
People can see what I'm talking about.
You know what I'm saying?
People can see how I'm vlogging, how I'm rocking.
You know what I'm saying?
I want to really try to do the most.
I just wanted the music and the story.
I wanted the music to be with the people.
Like, if you don't know me for none, no drama, no rap, beef, no, none of that.
Like, know me for my music, you feel what I'm saying?
And my song, that's the most important part.
You feel what I'm saying, the music.
And that's real.
I'm glad you said that because, you know, where we come from Philadelphia,
you know there's a lot of the inner
cities of America
a lot of rappers is known for everything
but they music yeah
you feel what I'm saying
and that's honestly
the wrong shit to be known for
because if you're trying to win
in the music space
you want to be known for a motherfucker
that shoot niggas
like that don't
like
no I never understood that shit
like well I'm from like
I don't know these niggas don't understand
like consequences of the world
really come with that and I never
I never really tried to paint
like, share no light on that
or, you know what I'm saying,
be known for that, you know what I'm saying,
regardless of what I'm on or what I don't do.
None of that, like I never wanted to share no light on that
because I don't know, bro, I don't really seem
what I come with that, you know what I'm saying?
So I don't even understand why I think he wants to be known
for that, you know what I'm saying?
But that's just them, you know what I'm saying?
I ain't knocking nobody, I'm just saying, like,
that's just, that isn't what I do, you feel?
And I commend you for being able to, you know,
you know, stay course.
You know what I mean, of who you are?
I'm trying to make it out.
I said, I don't, I ain't trying to be stuck in it.
And, you know what I'm saying?
Like, shed light, putting a light on it.
Like, even if it is, like, how a nigga got to live,
like, you ain't a nigga don't want to live like that, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
And you know, you know, what I like about you is that, you know, in this game,
a lot of times you got some, we know some, I know some good dudes.
There's really good dudes, but they feel as though they pressure to put this image on
to be somebody.
You know, like you said, known outside of the music.
Every time I see you, like, we were sitting near each other, next to each other
the fight, the Garcia tank fight, and you just be chilling.
What I like about you is that you chill so much that if a person don't know,
if they don't know the stats, they don't know what's going on,
they don't know that you, one of the biggest artists in the game.
Your last four projects went platinum.
That's great.
Like, I haven't been to your show.
Like, you sell shit out.
Like, you cut the light off, they're going to sing your whole catalog.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, so it's like you're selling our shows, you're ready going to another tour.
You just keep going on tours.
And every time you go, it's just bigger and bigger and bigger.
And once again, your last four projects went platinum.
A lot of artists can't say that.
A lot of artists can't see that.
They got four platinum.
Shit a blessing, but it's the music, bro.
I feel like it's just real life.
So everybody going, everybody living real life, you know what I'm saying?
Not off the ground and off the camera.
What people don't show you, this real life,
what I need are going through what a nigga talking about.
So it's like, it's just people living with this shit, you know what I'm saying?
So it's like, maybe that's why I don't know.
I know the shit of a blessing, though, man.
You know what I'm saying?
I think that's why you got a cold following too, though,
because it's not more about, you know, the drama.
Yeah.
It's not about the cars.
It's not about the music.
You feel what I'm saying?
And there's certain artists in this game,
they got cult followings,
but when you look at them, you like,
them niggas make really good fucking music, though.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Even if it is something that's, you know,
connected in the bullshit
they still make really good fucking music
it all got to come down to the fucking music
right that's that's the main part
like I always tell people like before I was
ever a rapper or before I was ever
whatever you know what I'm saying I was a fan
of the music first I was a fan of all these
niggas like all these rappers watching them at home
watching like I just loved it the rap game
you know what I'm saying it wasn't until I started
saying like damn I could do this shit too
because I was a consumer
at one point so I know what a consumer
won't you feel me a nigga wanted to hit a
music man
that's the main part
bro you feel what I'm saying
they want to put their headphones in that funk
bro some shit that nigga
really want to hear
listen to I get bro I got cars
and war stories
and all kinds of shit
I could be sitting on
my shit talking about
but as a ex-consumer
still a consumer to this day
still love music to this day
like I'm talking about
growing up watching this shit
every generation
every time the shit changed
every time the style changed
in the whole hip-hop
community I watched it all
so you know I even know you
I know I've seen every error
you feel what I'm saying
at home watching that shit. So it's like I knew
I just feel like I knew what
as a ex-consumer
like what people want. People want the music
and the real life shit. You feel what I'm saying?
Like that shit going to last the longest. I feel, you
know what I'm saying? Who's the main people that inspired
you when you was a jig coming into the game?
I said Chief Keith was one
of them. Yeah, Chief Keith, I was fucked up by
at Gates too. Like I used to sit at the house
and watch bro, like when he first came home,
his interviews and shit.
You know what I'm saying? His ciphers and shit, his
vlogs. I was fucked up by at Gates.
I watch a lot of Kodak and shit, you know what I'm watching all of the niggas like
then I can really do this shit, you know what I'm saying?
But Gates was the, Gates was the one, though, hang out.
But you and Gates, y'all don't sound alike, but y'all both kind of sing, y'all both kind
of do some melodies, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
It's my boy, man, you know what I'm saying?
And that pain, it's the pain, like with all this going on, are you still wear your heart
on your sleeve?

Well, my heart on my sleeve, like, just leave it open like I used to, hell, nah.
Like, just leaving, like, walking around with it.
He said, I used to, it was my fault.
You said you was younger again, you know.
He said, it was my fault, then.
Yeah.
He says, no, because, you know what, like, how has it been for you transitioning?
because a lot of times me and Gil talk to a lot of people,
a lot of artists about, you know, the side effects of success.
You lose a lot of people.
When the money come, the stuff come.
It's like you don't change, but people change their views of you.
So how do you keep it?
How do you stay there to be able to and deal with all this bullshit?
Yes, still got to create, still got to take care of people that you love,
that love you, no matter you got money or not.
How do you keep it balanced?
I mean, I just, yeah, just try to balance it.
Like, I just talk about it whatever I'm going through, you know what I'm saying?
Even though the shit don't change from the beginning, like, like, bro, the people who I was with chasing this shit with, like, on some everyday shit, we're in the truck, going to do little shows and shit.
I ain't now one of the niggas here.
Like, about four, five words, you know what I'm saying, from my kids, mama, my Uncle D, you feel me, his partner, Ray.
My old came around, like, ain't none of them niggas here, you know what I'm saying.
And when you, when you were at this level, like, you'd be like, damn, like, shit just changed for me so fast.
You know what I'm saying?
That shit is how you're like,
I don't notice how you're in a weird space in your mind.
Like, I think you got all this shit.
Like, it ain't the destination, bro.
Like, it's the journey for real.
And that's why I named this album, nostalgia.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, back then I was thinking about the future or the past
instead of living in the moment.
You know what I'm saying?
And I can't say today, like, looking back at that time,
I thought it was like depressing and sad.
I thought it was that.
But, you know what I'm saying?
Looking back at it, not like,
this probably worse than that, you know what I'm saying?
Like, that probably was the most fun chasing this shit, you know what I'm saying?
So it's like nine nigger here, and it's like, you know what I'm saying?
Different battles, bro, like the shit just changed and just balancing it all, just like, damn.
Now I'm saying?
But that's the thing about the music, bro, and every album, like, just going to keep talking about my life and what I'm going through.
That's probably why I never run out of shit, you know what I'm saying, because life just keep going, life real.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's just what it is, you know what I'm saying?
Balancing this shit.
it's just if you can
balance it if you can't
I'm just keep
going you know what I'm saying
When you looking for producers
Do you got your only house
A producer you keep the same person
Or you just let people submit
Yeah I usually keep like one or two of the same people
Like if I'm gonna do an album
We gotta think about it
And when I'm listening to an album
I want to hear like
I want to hear like a little difference
I want a different subject
Like I don't want you to keep talking about the same thing
So I might be talking about love or life
Or friends
being happy being whatever I'm talking about you know what I'm saying
I want to switch to sell it and then I might use like two or three of the same
producers but then I might find like four or five of them that's new
and every album I just keep it in that rotation like and then I'll be like okay
I'm gonna make sure I get two or three from you because I know me
the people want to hit me and you work you know what I'm saying
and people love that you know what I'm saying
you know I think about in the album it's like I want to I want to
I want to make sure I got someone that for my old my day one fans
I want to make sure I got something on the people
who just not getting on that for me
who just not getting on to me
and then I want to make sure I got something on that
for the people who like
who against me like
I don't follow it bro but let me see what he got
let me see what he doing
you feel what I'm saying
so every album I try to do that
like I try to just a little bit for the game
new fans the people who just got on me
and the people who been rocking with me
you feel what I'm saying
and that's why I really like dropping
projects I feel like a project is the
best way to express yourself
as an artist you know what I'm saying
because you like you get to do
you get to show them
all you could do, you feel
what I'm saying?
Yeah, I use like one of the,
sometimes I want to two the same producing
then I switch it up a little bit.
And sometimes when you give them multiple songs
to go off instead of just one song,
you feel me?
Like, you can like song number three.
But any time song number three go off,
you start to hear song number four.
Eventually, now you're playing song number four
because it doesn't cord on to you,
feel what I'm saying?
So it's always better I feel, though,
to put, you know, multiple songs out
instead of just trying to keep hitting them with singles,
you know what I'm saying?
Because something could take off
that you didn't even think
was going to take off.
Right.
You'd be like,
damn, I like this song
going on the fucking album the least
and this is the one they liked the most.
That's the crazy.
It happened to you like that before?
No, let me think.
Yeah, yeah, it happened to me in my last album.
Shit, it happened to me like.
What I do is, like,
I'm real self-conscious about this shit,
so I'd be just leaking and shit,
like just playing snippets of the shit,
seeing what they react to the most.
And I thought,
damn, they really like that one.
I was just playing with that one.
I thought it was the one I made
like two months ago
that I put on there
but this is the one right here
so I'd be like
hey wait on this shit
to be all on the internet
like we wait on this song
drop this song
and I just let them decide
right
that's smart though
how do you stay focused
because I had a
I put a post up not long ago
and I told people
and me and Gil
got a lot of calls
from from record execs
to producers
to some big name artists
and what I put up was
I said
I said after
drip after parties after cars after jury you gotta have that good music and then i broke it down to
how people be like people get so caught up in being you know the tic-tock stuff the pressure of
instagram and all that that some of the greatest artists out here now putting out the good music
because somewhere in the studio with the engineer they leaving all the best stuff on the hard drive
they're scared to put it out because they're trying to stay in the wave of tic-tok or make sure they
at this party or make sure they got this drip on and make sure and it's like bro
when you're gonna put that music out and we got a call from a big artist he was like yo
I needed that I got all this music on a hard drive and I keep trying to measure for
TikTok he was like man what so how do you stay focused and being like yo man I ain't even
because you know social media is influencing the kids their adults they got everybody
brainwashed yeah bro you gotta just stay to yourself like this what I like this what I want
to do you know what I'm saying because like me bro
I knew what I wanted to hear when I was a certain fan of a rapper.
I want to hear your album.
I don't want to hear the one song you like.
I want to hear all the songs you got from different points of life you're talking about.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know.
I'm not making those songs for no parties.
I know none of that.
Like that ain't even my way.
I don't even go to parties.
I don't even know what they want to hear in no party.
You feel what I'm saying?

I'm talking about.

It's coming.
It's getting cold.
be able to take care of your own bills, taking your kid, taking care of your woman, and not have
the woman take care of you. So what you need to do is, you need to fund your freedom. What you need
to do right now is text, MWG, the 909-473-41-74. 9-09-473, 4174. They're going to give you
something. Listen, this is a giveaway. We never gave away this much stuff right here on
million dollars worth a game, but fund your freedom said, we want to fund the people with the
information that's necessary in order for them to win. So what they're going to do is they're going
to give you one e-book, right? You're going to get one free e-book.
That's just for credit reburied.
Then you're going to get another free e-book.
That's just for business funding.
Then you're going to get a free live training.
You know what I mean?
I'm talking about, hold, let me take that back.
You're getting two e-books already.
That's two free things.
You're getting a free live training, and you're getting a free course
because they want to fund you with the information
that you need in order to fund your freedom.
You can't fund your freedom without the information.
So in these e-books is the information.
And this live course is the information.
And this free training is the information.
So you can fund your freedom.
Because guess what?
you can't get your freedom for free.
You've got to be able to fund it.
And the only way you're going to fund it
is with the knowledge and information
that these young brothers
going to give you right day.
Listen, man, talk to them.
Tell them who y'all is, man.
Tell them what's going on, y'all.
It's the fun of your freedom group, man.
It's made you the goat here.
Yes, sir.
Romel, the young mogul.
What's going on, y'all, boom?
And we wanted to give away
the most free stuff on this episode
that we all ever had.
Like, we know people would come on and get a game.
Oh, so that was y'all playing nickel.
Yeah, that was all the plan.
More than anybody.
We wanted to get the most free stuff
give them more and then our you just want to give value man first right front so just to know that it's
real too and that's what the business segments is about giving value that some people who can look back
they can look up and they could be like damn okay i can do this okay let me get this a shot
okay damn i made some money off of this okay let me let me step it up now so that's what the business
uh spotlights is about man so tell me what y'all what y'all want to do right because we're on
million dollars with the game for me so we're giving y'all a lot of free things but we also want to
get an opportunity to make money with us so on top of everything that you don't get
the e-books, you'll get the live training, you're going to get the course, you can get all
of that, but we also don't give your opportunity to make money with us where you can actually
partner and actually make money through our affiliate program.
I want to throw that in there as well, so make sure your text that number, but, you know,
we came together, we said we wanted to collaborate and not compete because a lot of times
they see young black men, you know, who got the most money, who got the most chicks, who got
the most cars, but we actually came together and we got more impact.
So now we're teaching the train of other people out to go out there, get their credit fix,
get access to funding, go buy real estate, teach them how to buy self-stowage facilities
Ultimately, it's about really funding your freedom.
That's truly what I think is very interesting about y'all.
You're all from three different towns, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia.
But it's a little question of Smith, really, from Chicago.
I think he's from the outer side.
Who got the best chicken in Chicago?
Gil answered that.
Harold.
Oh, yeah, he's from Chicago.
I got back last little bit.
He's like, man, why you're going there and say Harold?
Man, you're on to Gilly Mill, man.
You're supposed to say Remus.
He legit just off of that?
Huh?
You legit just off of that?
You legit just off of that?
Say, Harold?
Yeah.
They told me it's Uncle Remus because I'm from West
But they're like, man, you're on the Gillian
And while they're supposed to be saying Uncle Remus, bro
You told the truth, but what's important is to see
Not just black, but three young black brothers
sticking together in this time where's though
Everybody beef and doing all the stuff in the streets
For y'all to come together, how did y'all stick together like this?
How did y'all connect? You know, and how do y'all stay together?
It's really getting outside, getting the rooms, right?
To be honest with you, like, we all shoot our shots
in the DMs and we're trying to get checks
But for me, being in New York, I'm the only one that's at this level, right?
So I hit a glass ceiling.
I got to get around other people.
So I actually hit boom-knuck because he in Philly.
And I sent him a message on IG.
I'm like, yo, bro, I see you in Philly.
You buying houses.
I'm in real estate.
Let's connect.
Let's do something together.
Me and Smitty was actually in a mentorship together.
Smitty, it was out of 6,000 people.
He made the most money selling e-books in the whole entire mentorship.
I got to get with him.
So I sent him a message.
We just really started to connect just being in different rooms,
getting in their mentorships and really wanting more.
That's beautiful.
He can be stronger together.
And also give each other value.
He helped me set up a life insurance policy for my son
because that's his game.
And then we all about to buy a six-unit apartment building together.
So we keep giving each other value.
So that's why none of us are hating on each other
and we keep growing within the circle.
A six unit.
What are y'all buying it at?
In Philly?
Damn, y'all not playing.
So y'all say not only is we going to come together
and educate people, we're going to come together and get some money together.
That's 100%.
Now, everything that you're all giving out, the e-book,
the business funding, the live training,
in the free course what is the value you're bringing to people man so first i'm the money guys so
you see me is we get in the bag we look at the bag you know what i teach you how to take your lc
get access to your first 50 000 to 100 000 in funding using other people's money you know it's
because i built my legacy i'll borrow when money like borrow money off the bank money so i want to
teach you okay let's leverage that go get your first 50 to 100 000 and to be straight all is
legit right 100 100 we just got to use it you know 80 percent people that look like us don't
don't understand it, don't know how to leverage,
you know how to use it. So if you can get to understand
how to use it, you'll be further quicker.
You know what I mean? Because it's easier to get approved for $100,000
and to save $100,000. 8% of people in this world
won't be able to save $100,000. We can
get approved for it way faster, faster.
So let's teach them that. And then first get the money,
because you got to get the money first.
You got to spend money to make money. So you got to spend money and
get the bag, then flip the bag. So that's what we did a
collaboration because I was teaching people how to get the money.
But then they was like, Smitty, how could I invest the money?
I got to make money because this ain't my money.
So now it's like, all right, let me do a collaboration with teaching how to invest the money.
So then that's what they came in play.
How long do it take once you get the money?
How long you got to pay it back?
How much do you got an interest?
You got to pay on that?
Right.
So we go up to zero percent interest credit cards.
So we do credit card stacking methods.
So if we can go get our first, the first $100,000, I'm teaching how to get a zero percent interest for at least 12 to 18 months.
So that means you got a year, a year and a half, some of them, two years at zero percent interest to be able to buy.
So that's like me having $100,000.
thousand dollars in my hand and I passed to y'all and I say just give me a thousand dollars a month
at zero percent interest for a year would you take it well people take it you know because they know
they can flip it and things like that but then it's like all right we can teach you how to do that but then
also what y'all going to invest it in to create you cash flow so that that's your money you know and then
we pay them their money back so we do it the right way we leverage their money to make us money
pocket the money but also pay them back they money so that we good on both sides and then once you
get the bread but you take them you're putting it right in the crib so right now is probably the best
state not because you know everybody said you can make money you can make money but because right
now interest rates and the market is so funny I'm buying and a lot of my students buying
properties literally half price like one of my guys he bought house for $100,000 he got a $60 grand
because house is sitting so long so one of the things people can do just go to Zillow everybody
heard of Zillow go to Zillow.com and in the top corner is going to say days on the market just
click 90 days or more those houses just sitting just sitting just sitting go put offers in
so if he getting you $50 to $100,000 you find a house for a house for
100,000, just putting offers at 60 grand, 50 grand.
You can buy it straight off the credit card.
He just got you.
And that's how I'm getting them,
and that's how a lot of my mentees and a lot of my students getting them,
straight off the credit card, no money out of pocket.
That's major.
So now, when it comes to these store spaces, man,
tell me about that.
Gil still got a store spot that he had for years
and they just keep taking money.
Me too.
And he forgot he had shit.
I don't even think you're going to use the shit now.
You're going to use the shit.
No, man, they robbing the shit now.
No, you know it's there.
You ain't going to take it out or cancel the joints.
I'm going to take my shit out.
You're not going to use it.
It's probably dated.
We all do.
I got all kinds of shit in there.
Bump boxes are all kinds of shit.
Oh, that's where the bump boxes is that.
Yeah.
They got all kinds of shit I can use in there, man.
Yeah, so that's what I come in there, right?
I teach them out of double up and get into the best kept secrets.
So self-storage is the number one performing real estate segment out of all classes, right?
And it's not as hard to get in as we think.
As we used to be all, y'all rent our storage units and y'all pay it every single month, right?
That's passive income.
So it's a website.
It's called bizbysell.com.
You go on that website, you can find motivated self-storage owners.
People that own the business 20, 30 years, they're ready to sell.
That's a website for motivated self-storage owners.
What's the website again?
Bizbuysel.com.
Bizbi-sell.
That's how you find a facility.
People give it to the right, and then how you get the money, right?
Because a lot of us, we wouldn't have got that pandemic money, that PPP, the E-I-D-L loans,
SBA loans, but SBA.
You got it to?
I got it to.
I got it to.
But I flipped the brand, right?
So, but like the SBA had been around since 1953, right?
But there's a loan specifically.
It's called the SBA 7A loan and they finance you up to $5 million.
And all you got to do is put 10% down.
And there's a small business loan to go buy small businesses.
The reason why self-storage fits is because self-storage is not only real estate,
it's a small business.
So you go in business by sale, you find a facility, $500,000, $700,000, 10% down.
That's $50,000 on the credit card.
That's many got you.
What I was a flip, $50,000.
that boring and now you just take that and double up
and now you bring in passive income in the
self storage business and then I want to add that
right we also teach how to make
multiple streams off one acquisition
so not only do we
buy the storage unit we making money right
you're going to have to rent out the vans
so we partner with the local U-Ha
and U-Haul runs the transportation
but they give us 30% commission
we partner with a local moving company
and refer all of our business to the moving company
we get paid we put vending machines
on the facility you come in and
get your snack and your drink we get paid so now you're doing one move but getting paid
four or five six times of one move and now you truly getting that freedom that we're talking
about i just want to say this they got security with them right yeah yeah man that nigga about
to quit i'm sorry that nigga sitting there like this yeah the whole time i was looking at him
even free no man that's a player that's a player that's another plug that's another like this
i got about another money this shit i ain't doing this shit too i'm a motherfucker credit cards
come in with the $50,000.
Yeah.
I even give some more games, some direct banks, right?
A matter of fact, I put your own game with Chase right now.
Chase just opened up a lending criteria where they can get you up to $100,000 limit
on one credit card.
A friend of mine got $100,000 limit on one credit card.
That ain't normal.
So if you meet the right criteria, your credit being good, you can get $100K on one credit
card.
That's Chase.
Then we can go to another bank.
Truers.
Truers give you up to $50K, no documentation.
So we can get in this money, too, with no tax returns, no paycheck steps, no bank
statements and all that, we're going directly into the banks
and getting this money no documentation. So we can
go to Trude Bank and get up to $50K, no documentation.
We can go to Key Bank and get up to $50K, no documentation.
So the money we come in to get...
That's the credit card you're talking about.
That's the credit card you're talking about.
Hey!
That's the one you're talking about
with a hundred thousand on that.
With a bean on it.
Oh, yeah.
And with a beanie Siegel.
Yeah, talk to me.
I'm like, wait, he's talking about this shit.
I got in my mind from.
He said, let me pull it out.
I'm going to get the high limit, though,
because everybody's going on line, like the mask, right?
I think this is the high limit.
I don't know if you did it, right?
I can tell you I'll get a higher limit.
Everybody go online, right?
And they apply for it, like, online.
Everybody got, like, the masses.
We don't do that.
We go inside the banks and build a relationship.
That's why relationships are so important.
Y'all say this a lot, too,
because you go in the bank
and you build a relationship with a business manager
that hosts with the business products.
And then now you put your application directly
through him with a special note that says
what you need the money for, you know,
and then you're pushing the application directly
with the business manager himself
and now that's a whole different approval process
than you're going online with the masses.
You're going there with a proposal.
Yeah, I go out.
I said, I'm going to use this money for marketing.
I'm going to use this money
for my real estate project.
You're showing where it's going at
and where how you're doing it?
So now they're willing to give me more money
because I'm not just applying online
like everybody else, you know what I mean?
So now they're willing to give me more money
because my rep is putting a special note in it
and I'm going inside the bank
with a different push through.
So it's a different process.
Talk heavy.
Who do they pull from?
They pull it from experience.
They pull from experience.
So another one, Alliance Credit Union, everybody can go on this website right now.
They pull from TransJune.
They'll get between $10 to $20,000 right now.
I'm talking about you can go open up a tab, put a whole website up.
I got so many people that got approved for $10 to $15,000 within 10,000 and 15 minutes.
Right there, the car hit the mill in three days.
That's another one they can do.
So they can get that right now.
That pulls from TransUnion.
Then set up the appointment with Chase to go in the next couple of days to go get up to $100,000.
So now they got plays for days just all there.
So basically
When I come and get this
First of all I'm getting the two e-books
It's going to be a bunch of information there
But at this live training
What I'm getting? What type of game I'm getting?
Funding and real estate
Credit funding and real estate
So it's all steps
Want to get your credit to 700 or higher
Then we want to go load you up on the funding
And take the fund and put it right in the real estate
So you can flip it by bigger units
And keep going and get passive income
Every single month or just go ahead and get big flips
So is this a certain date for this course
or this live training.
I mean, I'm just going to get this.
As soon as you get it, all the information,
you want to be able to download everything right then and there.
And you know, I got to wait a week, two weeks, three weeks.
As soon as you get it download right then in there.
Tell my number.
Listen, what you need to do,
I'm talking about to fund your freedom to get the information
that you need to fund your freedom.
You need to text MWG to 973-474.
M-WG text that to 909-473-41-74.
That's what you need to do.
to get this information.
They give me you the free course.
They give me two free ebooks.
Ebooks on credit.
One on credit repair and one don't bring this funding.
They give you a free course and they're giving you live training.
And don't forget, right?
The affiliate program.
I thought it an affiliate on the live trainer.
We're going to show you how to actually make money with us.
We want to give them an opportunity to make money in the first 24 to 48 hours.
We're giving you out free, but you're going to make money in the first 24 to 48 hours.
We're going to break that down on the live training on how they're going to make money with us.
So for the, you know, fund your freedom team, what's coming up next?
What's your got coming up?
We got a lot coming up.
We got free events coming up.
We got a five-day virtual conference coming up.
So that's five-day.
Yeah, five-day fun.
So you got information for five days.
Y'all going to be giving it up for five days.
All right.
Straight days, Monday through Friday, every single day.
So, you know, a lot of people just got a little bit of game from him, a little game from him, a little game for me.
Now, each person got their own full day, on credit, all four day on funding, own four-day on real estate, all four-day on storage facilities.
That way, they can, like, dang, I can take my time and really piece it all together.
instead of trying to rush it all in one time.
And a lot of people are going to download the free ebooks
and they learn on your own.
Now you get to learn and get taught with us directly.
So you can ask the question, okay, here's the answer that you can go ahead and run
this bed.
We can go ahead and really guide everything step by step with you.
A lot of people want to be taught by themselves.
And some people want to, I need you to actually step by step by step,
show me that.
So that's what that's for.
Well, listen, man, this was another episode of a million dollars where we've gained
business spotlight.

So a nigga couldn't really move around.
So like right after the pandemic, my first tour, like,
I was in, what them shit's called?
Not arenas, but amphitheaterals.
So, you know, they're like 9,000, 10,000 people.
So I'm coming out of the floor, I'm just like,
damn, I've never been on stage, no stage this big.
You feel what I'm saying?
Then the year after that, they're talking about arenas,
and I was kind of scared.
Like, bro, you don't think this shit's too big, bro?

You know what I'm saying

That's incredible
It's super incredible
So now, when you went to go make this album, right?
Like, do you, when you're making the songs, like, how is the studio session?
Do you have anybody on the team that got to be there?
Like, it's certain people that got to, you know, it's the people that you say, yo.
What's a must you got to have into studio?
Yeah.
Man, I'm going to tell you some real shit, bro.
In the studio, bro, I kick everybody out of that bit.
And it's just me and whoever, my engineer.
I got two engineers, Tribe, Latino, it's just me and them.
And nobody, everybody got to get to.
get out. Because the music's so personal, you feel what I'm saying? Like, I might be around my
partners all the time. We laugh in the key camp, but they don't really know what the
nigga going through, because I'm not feeling around my partner's like, boy, you know,
a nigga feeling like this, I'm not feeling to do that. I don't think nobody do that,
you feel what I'm saying? But when I'm in the studio, it's like, it's personal, you feel
what I'm saying? In the very beginning, I felt like I kind of fucked up by doing that,
you know, just, because I won't tell my partners, but I told the whole world, you
feel, me, which is crazy, but I felt like damn I already started. This is it.
They got these fans, and these people who wait on me, people looking forward to my music, so that's what I do now, you know what I'm saying?
So when I go in the studio, I just talk about my life, and there's my point of view on different stuff, you know, different selves of life.
So it's just me and an engineer, you know what I'm saying?
My partners and whoever around me, they're here later, I guess, you feel what I'm saying?
If they want to, but it's just me and an engineer, like, I must be in the, I got to be in the studio by myself because I can't just open up by how I'm feeling.
I can't talk about how I'm feeling in front of people, you feel what I'm saying?
That's the first time I ever heard that.
Yeah, you kicked anybody out.
Nigger be like, all right, I'm about to record, man.
You nicks go play mad.

Like, this music ain't really for that.
This music is just my life and just how I'd be feeling.

I just, I just be talking about my life.
Like, so it's crazy you say that, like, who I want to do.

certain people I want to meet like go to their concert and shake their hands and just let

Every day, bro, and not say nothing to them.
Like, that's weird, bro.
That's some ego-ass shit.
But it's motherfuckers out here that's like that.
You feel what it's motherfuckers that watch every episode
of a million dollars worth a game,
and they see you and they'll be like,
Mm-hmm.
And then you like, what's up, bro?
And then you go walk, you sit down in the airport, and then four minutes later,
a nigga walk up, man, I wasn't going to come up, man.

Why you wasn't going to come up?
If, if Knives walk through this motherfucker airport right down, I'm going to lose my
motherfuck of mind, man.

Like, certain motherfuckers coming through this motherfucker airport.
He lost his fucking mind, blue Big Daddy Kane fucking cover six in the morning for no fucking
reason.

You might not even, I might not break my neck to DM you,
but if I see you, I'm like, well, I fuck, so I'll be listening to your shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Even if I do DM you, like, it's certain people are real fans that I don't wrote them like,
I fuck with your shit, bro.
Like, I don't even be on Instagram, but I'm gonna use my shit the right way.
Like, I can reach you, like, I'll fuck with your shit.
You know what I'm saying?
But that's how it's supposed to be, man.
I feel like, bro, a lot of people be caught up in the, they caught up in the fate, the whole facade of this shit.
Like, I think a real person, bro.
Real human, bro.
Like, there's a lot of more people know me than a regular person who are 9 to 5.
But the people, we all regular people.
You bleed, I bleed.
Absolutely.
They all the same people, bro.
We all are people.
Absolutely.
And we all go through, you know, life.
Life be lifing.
Yeah, do you feel what I'm saying?
It don't matter how much money you got.
when somebody in your family pass
that don't stop you
they don't make you feel better
you feel what I'm saying
so life always lifeing
and we just people
who just so happen to be good
as something that we do
yeah I thought
I thought when I got money
shit life was gonna ease up a little bit
that shit turned up man
turn the fuck up man
they ain't put a little fame
and other than you got money and fame
like you'd be scared to wake up
the first thing you do grab you a fool man
make sure
everything you're right
shit
yeah because too
a lot of times
you know I don't know
your situation
but a lot of times
when motherfuckers
come from that bottom
and they get successful
you know what I mean
people be dependent on you
you know what I mean
fucking calls you get
every time
sometimes I'll be feeling
like motherfuckers
be making up shit
to get money from a thing
yeah
you feel what I'm saying
like that shit
doesn't even sound
right that motherfucker's story
like
family
family friends
but that's not really
even about the money
it's like it's a lot of people
who depend on you
but it's also a lot of people
waiting on you to like
fall or waiting for you to like
you know what I'm saying
or people who ain't happy
or people want to prove
prove like nigga
you ain't know about like
it's just a lot
that come with this shit
see that's the
that's the that's the history
of black people man
they're championing the nigga
to the top
and then once you get there
they championing you to the bottom
yeah I'd be looking at
blog and shit
I'd be like man
when I wanted to get my mix tape
off the ground
Why y'all weren't posting the nigga then?
Yeah.
Why y'all want, you know what I'm saying?
I'm one of the promoter show or something,
why y'all want to post a nigga then?
But now the day I get on the, you know what I'm saying?
In the internet, every blog site in America,
all kind of shit, every black blog site in America
want to post you, and, you know what I'm saying?
And spreads from drama about you.
She don't even got to be true.
A bitch or say whatever.
Right.
And they're going to post it and people just going to go along with it,
you know what I'm saying?
Right.
Especially if it's bad, but it's like,
shit, when the nigga need to hell with that music,
you know what I posted me?
So it should be illegal to post a nigga now.
If you want a posting a nigga then, don't post a nigga now.
Don't say, don't even say my name.
And that's the beauty of coming to me and Ozworth again
because we don't get into that messy shit.
We don't care about it.
We ain't messy chasers.
We don't wake up every day like,
oh, I got to find out what happened a day
so I can post a blog.
We don't even ask about current events
when we do interviews.
We interview a motherfucker to find out who he is
that you all see a different side.
We ain't wet, set no landmines down.
They got to worry about coming in here,
stepping on a landmine, losing your motherfucking leg
because the nigger is going to ask you some dumb shit, man.
So I understand you, you know what I mean?
And a lot of times, a lot of the blogs be way older
than the young motherfuckers,
and instead of trying to put some protection on them,
y'all be trying to get some motherfucking views.
Y'all don't give a fuck about discrediting the niggas' life.
And messing his whole career.
Yeah.
fucking the niggas old career
about some fucking views
I go along with the um
with the facade
all the people living there facade
they feel like
all the famous people
just ain't real
they don't got no feelings
or like fuck them
you know what I'm saying
I just said that
old Miguel interview
they got kids
and moms and shit
you're saying
if you're posting shit
about a nigga
you're talking bad about a nigga
you think
a nigga mama
you're feeling
see that
or my kids
when they get older
they might be able
to see that
my little cousins
or my little nieces
and shit
who fucked up by the
nigga
or my little sister
who she go to school
with all these kids
and you get to say
something about me
You know, my sister's got to go to school on Monday, you know what I'm saying?
Like, people don't understand.
We're real people.
I'm a real person, you know what I'm saying?
We're all real human beings, like we're with ties and people.
So, and the whole world on the internet, you know what I'm saying?
The whole world, ain't nobody who ain't on the internet.
So that's like real life, you feel what I'm saying?
So you just get to say whatever you want out to the mouth about a nigger and you don't care you because, you know, you get to go back to your regular life.
Your face ain't even on your blog.
Right.
So you just get to post whatever about a nigga, click over to your regular page and leave your regular life with your mama or your grandma or your grandma or
your cousin and shit, your life ain't even bothered, you know what I'm saying?
But it's people who are famous and shit, we real people too.
And we got every day of our life, we got to explain ourselves or, you know what I'm saying,
or defend ourselves, you know what I'm saying?
I feel like, bro, if you do some shit, you got to deal with it, but it's like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, God damn, everything a nigga do.
Yeah.
It's real.
The reality of it is, too.
I'd be feeling bad for other people.
I see another rapper or somebody else going through shit.
I'd be like, damn, I just try to do it.
scroll past it real fast.
Like, I ain't support that's it, bro.
If I see even another rapper,
another famous lady or girl, like,
getting bashed or somebody talking about them,
I just be like, that's fucked up, man.
I just scroll past it, because I know how I feel.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, at the end of the day,
what's so fucked up is perception is reality.
So if one motherfucker post,
oh, ride this such and such,
then you just see that with no facts,
you snack, screenshot that.
Now, 30 more blogs.
Now that's the story.
Now it's true.
Right.
It's fucked up, but now it's true.
And when they get corrected,
but guess what?
Nobody hear about it.
I guess what when they say,
the nigger Rod got full platinum albums
back to back the back to back the back.
If I scroll down,
I don't want to even see that.
I don't hear about that.
You feel, me.
But the nigga Rod,
they want to hurry up.
The old thing,
you saw that?
Oh, shit.
I don't even know what the fuck going on.
They said.
That's why you said,
that's people who don't even know
this nigga Rod got real
because I ain't,
I ain't fin to be on the, like,
just boasting.
and putting shit in people's face
like the facts is the facts
but those people don't even know
that they got four platinum albums
back to back you know what I'm saying
they don't even know that I can go in the arena
and sell 17,000 tickets
you get what I'm saying?
Or face.
That people don't even know that
because people worry about the wrong shit.
But the people that need to know
they know what's going on
but you got to understand this
and like you said
that's why we bung straight to the point
like when we talk about the views
on your YouTube and your content
now you got to
think about this it's only you did 4.5 billion views on YouTube so there's only 8 billion people on
the planet so you did half plus so you got to think about it this new album coming out you
already have 4 and a half so that's going to push the price 5 500 million more because you
be getting 100 million and all that stuff all the video so you got to think about that before you
know it. Yeah, too, you'd be
with the planet. You've got another
like a master planet. Yeah, I'm gonna just
keep going, bro. I'm just
keep going. I appreciate all the people who support
me, who are with me right now.
You know what I'm saying? People who are going to be with me
down the line or people who never get
down with it, I really don't, I ain't doing
this for that, bro. I just appreciate all the people who is
listening to my music, who is supporting

I don't care what you put on.
Them chicks was losing their minds, man.
So for me, man, a lot of times the hate come with the game.
They come with success.
Right.
You know what I mean?
And that's just the flip side of having all the money,
having all the things that come with success on this side.
You know, something bad got to, you know.
Right, she got to pay.
The way it out, you know what I mean?
But it's always more good than the bad.
So, you know, just keep being you, man.
Keep being a down-the-earth brother that you are.

and them be able to say, damn, my daddy,
he did anything, he got out, he went up,
every day got up to make sure we was right,

You know what I'm saying
And I just say
I thank you for
Thank God
You know what I'm saying
that a nigga, life different now, you know what I'm saying,
I've got different problems.
And I just thank God, no matter what I go through in his life
or this position I'm in, I'm just thankful to be here
because I remember when I was begging to be here.
You know what I'm saying?
I was just begging God for a better day.
So I just thank him for being here, you know, regardless of how many times
I might have a problem with what I'm going through,
life gets tough.
I'm just thankful that I'm here.
See, I get to take care of my kids and take care of my family and stuff.
So that's just what I stand on.
So that's probably why that's my favorite song.
I'm always preaching out, like, I'll do thank for to be here, shit.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm just happy to be here.
I'm saying.
I don't care about being number one, number two, number 10, number 50.
I'm just happy to be in my space and in my lane doing my thing
and everything working for me until it ain't, or whatever.
It can start tomorrow.
At least I did it.
And I'm financially stable.
And I'm just happy that I, you know what I'm saying?
I just wanted a million dollars, you know what I'm saying?
I just wanted a nice apartment with my kids in the car
and you know what I'm saying
so I don't pass that by the whole lot
so it's like I'm just happy to be here
I think that you'd be here too hopeful now
that's what a little part of my past that
you know blue wave man shit
yeah I did
how I say every day I'm every day in this shit
I'm just happy that I'm you know what I'm saying

my fans still rocking with me, you know what I'm saying, the new fans, the old fans, whatever.
So what is it about now?
Because you got, I mean, you got the, you got the money, you got a cold fucking dunk.
Yeah, I do.
That's my fucking cold.
They said, that's the coldest motherfuck don't out.

He holds it down, though.
But Uncle Dee, I see you give a lot of respect and love to him.
He was day one.
You know what I mean?
He's always in your corner.
He's the one you go to and be like, oh, what do you think?
And he'll give you the game.
Yeah, a lot of people don't know that.
My uncle, that's my real uncle, man.
Like, my daddy went to prison.
Uncle Dee, like, took me in and type of shit.
Like, picking me up from school and shit.
Then he went to prison.
Did his time, did 10 years came home, you feel me?
And I said, we took off with that rap, shit.

we really really turn that shit i turn nothing to something man
that's a beautiful feeling though ain't it yeah it is
when you when you when you just remember
because i see it in your face how you remember just
having a motherfucking dream like i just man if i could just
get this many people to listen you know what i mean just
i just need this many people to pay attention and then
I could just, I could start from there and now.
It was like, you come out and you like,
you like, I can't believe this.
That shit is crazy.
Like every single time, like not one night go by,
but I'm gonna be like, what the fuck did we do, boy?
Like, what the fuck do we do?
Like, this shit crazy.
Like, if the people have seen how we started, bro,
that's why I really wanna put this documentary together.
I've been buying all my footage from the first,
First camera I ever had.
You got the footage.
All of it.
Every camera.
You got all the files.
All every hard drive.
Every clip that was taken to me, I got it.
And I just want people to see how this shit started.
Let me ask you, what was the worst point?
Y'all was that on that camera.
The worst point was at?
That's the thing, bro.
I was so young.
So everything was so exciting to me, bro.
Like, being in the back of a suburban was exciting to me.
So I was, I think that's how I was able to get to this point, bro,
because I was just having fun the whole time.
I was just happy, like.
Come, I wasn't doing nothing, bro.
I had graduated school.
I was just waking up every day trying to get money.
So I wasn't really doing nothing.
So just in the back of a suburban from the time to that day all the way to not, bro,
I was just happy to be doing anything, you know what I'm saying?
But the one thing you did was hustle.
You had drive.
Because once you've seen that, oh, I got away, I got a lane.
See, a lot of people see that they got away, they got a lane,
but they still don't put that work in.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying
I had a fire in me
I just need the direction
And a nigga like Uncle D
You know what I'm saying
He like he wanted people
We're playing out everything
We're gonna go in here
We feel to have a plan
You want to jail, Nick

You know what's going on
He's gonna join
To organize
So everything he got
But he's been like

He's swift nigga
You know what I'm saying
But he had
So I had a fire in me
Like I used to be like
You know what I'm saying
Just bouncing around
Like we're gonna go over here
We pass out CDs
so I had a fight in me I was running around
Uncle Dee just stopped me
I don't know
You need to all this running around
You need to go that way
You know what I'm saying
So he kind of just grabbed me
And pointing me in the right direction
So the ground was already in me
I'm a hustler already that shit in me
You feel me
Come from hustlers you feel me
But I just had to have the right direction
You know what I'm saying
And then with me knowing
Like how the rap game
I already go from the outside of the end
Me knowing what I wanted
As a consumer
We kind of just mix that shit up together
You know what I'm saying
And that shit just turned
To some amazing shit
Yeah.
You know, I said spread of that shit all around the world, God.

You know what?
Gotta respect people with time.
We ain't calling saying we got Johnny Donut here.
Yeah.
But listen, man, it's going down September 15th.
Listen, nostalgia.
Listen, you got shit low.
I'm telling me, you got a whole soundtrack to your life.
Everything you went through, the girl, this girl fucked me over.
Song.
My homie ain't shit.
Song.
They hate it on me over here.
song. Mama, I love you.
Song.
Listen, girl.
Shit ain't go right.
That pussy was good.
I love you still.
Shit, I want you back.
Song.
That's not like one of your songs.
I'm just saying.
It might be.
I'm just saying.
It's going to be anything that shit go wrong.
Anything you go through or life just living,
there's a song that's a passion there and it's heart.
And it's a real human being just putting it out there being extremely transparent.
Ain't trying to front.
Ain't trying to cap.
It's just good music.
Yes.
And it's all about good music, man.
Right.
So, you know, we appreciate you for coming through.
I appreciate you, man.
I appreciate y'all for having me, man.
And I got a prediction.
It's going to be the fifth platinum project.
I'm just putting the prediction out there.
You know what I mean?
That ain't a fucking prediction.
That's like a fuck type of prediction.
So if this was on a ticket, if this was on a betting site,
so the odds would be, it'll be real.
Well, the odds would be fucking negative 7,000.
So you ain't going to win no money because they all be.
It's like, what the fuck?
You ain't going to bet this shit ain't going to plant him.
You know this girl platinum.
That's what he'd do.
I can't even cheat the system.
So I can't even achieve this motherfucker.
It's hard to believe.
Platinum.
One little piece.
That's all he need.
He be talking that shit, though.
But listen, man, everybody out there makes you buy it, stream it, TikTok.
Share it.
Share it.
Because y'all know it's going to be that shit.
I wouldn't listen to it.
Listen to it.
Harry, which way?
Listen to it.
You know they're going to do that.
Listen.
Go to the show.
You got to go to the show and see the experience.
And this is what we're looking for.
One, two, three, four.
Five times platinum.
Five times.

Yes, it is.
And it's just like that.
