Yes, sir.
Welcome back to another interview, another pod.
It's your boy, Dunoz, and we're on No Jumper.
True.
I got to say it, like, Tannamack, no jumper.
We got a special guest, my fellow Beiner and my fellow web back.
Alexis.
How you doing, my guy?
Gapas, good, what's popping?
What's up, you're looking a little nervous?
You good?
I'm not nervous.
It's just like, I don't know, man.
This is the first time, really, like, you have phones, this on.
Like, usually I do, like, a little interview or something.
It's like nothing like this, you know?
It's like people just starting out.
So it's like whatever.
On top of that, I'm always drunk.
So like I'm like, oh, you're sober right now?
Yeah, sadly.
Oh, yeah, we're doing this shit sober, bro.
For the time you got to start doing interview sober.
Honestly, yeah, that's why I came sober.
I was like, you know what?
No better time now than do it sober.
Exactly.
On no jumper, you can do things like that, like be sober.
You know, you feel.
I would expect to be really drunk on no jumper, but I don't know.
I see people get drunk on here and it don't go well.
Who?
I don't know.
I watch a lot.
It's just a lot of people.
I don't know.
I think I've seen three interviews if someone got drunk and stuff was being said.
I was like, ah, you shouldn't say that.
I don't know.
But it was like old ones.
It's like old ones.
Oh, old ones.
I want to say.
Oh, old ones.
I want to say, Riley, somebody got drunk with him the last?
Nah, old ones.
We're looking, we're looking a pretty sober team over here.
Yeah, no, I think I've noticed that because I saw that, like, some people, like, I remember
I forgot who had a show here, and then they was getting drunk and saying wild stuff and they stopped it.
And then.
Oh, I think thoughts next door.
Nah, they were saying that sober.
But I think
But I think
Yeah but I think a lot of us are so like
We're not sober
But like I feel like we
Okay so when like I first joined at the end of the day
With AD he was still drinking
Okay
He didn't drink anymore
So we were doing a lot of like
drunk podcasting shots made it like
Yeah
And it was cool
Yeah
But
Podcasting sober is fun bro
It's like
I mean I try not to dream
Between the first couple days of the week
I'll drink in the weekend
But like
Monday through Friday
Monday to Thursday
That try to be a
sober as I can just so like, you feel, me get your mind right, you know what I mean?
That's why I don't leave the crib, because if I leave the crib, I'm going to get drunk.
And, like, I like drinking.
I'll admit to it.
I'm Mexican, bro.
That's all I do is drink, so.
Do you feel like you have an problem?
Yes and no.
Okay, talk about it.
I would say I'm not, I would consider an alcoholic a person that wakes up and they need
alcohol.
They need to drink it.
I wake up, I don't really need to drink alcohol.
Like, I'm cooling.
I wake up.
I'll throw on Game of Thrones.
You know, I watch podcast, you feel me, whatever.
Like, I'm chilling.
I'm not really stressing.
And when I want to drink is when I go out
and I got to be social and this, this and that.
My problem, though, I guess, is I can't stop.
Oh, you excessively drink?
Yes.
Like, fuck, with the cup, but I get what you're saying?
You don't know how to social drink.
You want to just get drunk.
Well, yes and no, it just, I just have so many thoughts in my head.
Like, I think so much.
You're an over-dating.
Yeah, yeah, and then everyone around me be telling me like, hey, drink.
Or like, hey, drink.
Or like, oh, here's one or two.
And it's like, hey, don't drink, drink.
Oh, don't do this, don't do it.
And it's just, then that's when I start.
Just inside, just blowing up, blowing up.
I'm like, give me another, give another, give me.
I don't want to feel like this.
And that's how it goes.
Has it been better?
Yeah.
Like, bro, if you would have known me two years ago, it was, bro, I killed a whole bottle of Jameson once in 30 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
It was bad.
It was bad.
But it was during COVID, so what else was there to do?
I called it the Year of Rock, you feel me?
Where me and my roommates, we call it the Year of Rock, where we're just waking up and on some fuck shit.
I don't know.
Jameson?
That's my fair.
That's my fair.
I like whiskey.
I like dirty minutes.
I've seen you drink some shit, though.
Yeah.
Maybe that's the problem too
Because now when I got it in me
I'm like, fuck it, give me anything and everything
I don't care, I'll drink
I mean yeah
Yeah, low key
Yeah, low key meat
Fuck if I'm lily
Yeah
Like I'll be like
I'll drink whatever
Like if I'm already like
I don't drink dark
But if I'm already out of the tequila
And I'm drunk enough to where
The Henny start tasting like tequila or water
I'm okay
I'll just start talking
I don't get them off
That's my issue is that after like two or three shots
I'm good
I'm good
Like I remember one time
me and Kev went out and he was like, yo, like, take my shot, take my shot for me.
I was, I'm like, cool, cool for it.
So for every one shot people who it was taking, I was taking two to three.
Now, sometimes it goes good, but sometimes it doesn't go wet.
Like, it doesn't, you know, she can go south really easily.
So, you know, that's how that is.
Damn sum.
Is Kev's fault?
No, it's not.
But, no, it's not Kev's fault.
But, you know how it is when you go out, you're being social, the networking events.
No, most definitely, for networking events, especially because it's always free drinks.
Oh, bro, that's my favorite.
I try to, like, make sure I maneuver right.
Like, I try one of each drink, and that's my limit.
Like, I'll go baseball.
Like, you know, though.
Like, you know, like, if we let you say we go to a Buley Kev listening party or whatever.
Or Alex's one.
Yeah.
And Kev has, like, the Buley Kep podcast drink, the Buley Kep special, the Buley Kee, whatever.
I'll try to the three different drinks.
But that's where I limit myself.
I try to avoid the sugar.
Like, I don't like the fruity drinks.
I like the straight, like, I like that.
You drink dark liquor.
That's a lot of sugar.
Okay, yes, but I don't like, like, for instance, mixed with, like, some juice.
Margaritas.
You don't like margaritas.
You don't like margaritas would be giving me headache.
So to myself, I could be very wrong, but in my head, I'm like, as long as I just drink straight or just a nice, like, you know, Jameson on the rocks, I'm smooth.
Some Jameson and Sprite keep it simple.
Like, everybody would be putting, like, serps, this, this and that, these places.
I'm cool on that.
Especially as I've been on a diet, I definitely just drink, like, sparkling water and tequila, which is the best.
Yeah, I like tequila.
I like, you know what I like a lot?
Michaladas.
I don't even like beer, but I like Michelada.
Okay.
Like, Micheladas on my shit.
I could have a meetchal out every day, but I don't.
Do you drink every day?
I don't, actually.
Oh, you doing?
No, that's the thing.
I think people think I do because when I'm posting is when I'm being social.
And I'm like, I feel good.
Like, bro, I'm a person where, like, I'm very into my thoughts.
I'm the most antisocial social person there is.
Like, I like being at my crib.
I like being in my room.
I literally won't leave my room for four days.
I'll just watch.
Literally, I just finished Game of Thrones.
I rewatched all of it.
I finished all eight seasons in five days.
Because I finished my album, I had nothing to do.
I was like, I'm just gonna commit.
And I didn't drink one time during this.
Fire.
Bro, I didn't drink one time.
I don't drink.
It's just when I go out.
But you know, it's funny that you say that because every time I see you, it's during
like a social timing, which is like, either you're in the studio with your carter or
you're just in the studio.
And that's good people too.
So the, like me being drunk and us drinking, it always goes well.
Because me and him vibe.
Me and him are low key.
Like, we love the same type of music.
We cool in, so it just depends on where I'm at.
Yeah, well, shout out to having a problem with drinking.
We're not encouraging that, and the hummed your legs don't got a problem.
We just got a little issues.
Shout out my family, my grandparents.
They both, you know, they both drink a lot.
Oh, do they?
Yeah.
That actually, like, it's sad, but, like, my grandpa, before I was born, like, he actually passed away from drinking.
So that's actually kind of crazy to think.
And for you, your grandma?
My grandma, no, no, no.
It's not my other grandpa and shit.
Oh, go, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so two different.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bro.
All right, man.
So let's talk about the beginning, man.
Where was Alexis born and raised, dog?
So I was born in San Jose in California.
Wow.
Yeah, but I moved to Arizona in, like, first grade, second grade.
And I loved it.
I love Arizona.
So I claim Arizona.
That's my hometown, because to me, that's home.
You know what I mean?
And I would go back and forth from the Bay and stuff.
And it's kind of funny because I would like to say, like, when I go to the Bay,
it's like my family.
Like, we're listening to, like, Corridos, you know, Bocanas, like all that.
Like, my family's straight, like.
Like, all that shit.
All that, bro.
And who's from the Bay?
So originally, that's where both my, like, my mom's side and my dad's side is.
But my mom just decided to leave because when 9-11 happened or whatever.
I forget what she told me, but the economy sucked and they just decided to move to AZ.
Okay.
From San Jose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your mom aired that together?
No, no.
So I don't know my real dad, like, at all.
Oh, got on.
You feel me?
Because it's fucking.
But, so, yeah, she moved with my stepdad.
Now he's just my pops
I just call my pops
Yeah we moved to AZ
And that was it
I'm actually really thankful for it
Because I feel like I'd either be on some
Some fuck shit
Doing some other shit
If I lived in San Jose bro
Yeah
And then so you moved to Arizona
Yeah
With your mom and your stepdad
Yeah yeah
And just you have other siblings
No yeah
My brother and my sister
And you guys are all from the same dad
Or they're just not
The same mom
Just the same mom
Yeah but they're with their stepdad
Yeah
Okay and then you guys move
So you're the oldest
Yeah yeah
Okay and then you guys move to Arizona
Yeah, yeah.
And then that's where your sister and your brother came along.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, okay, and then how was it growing up in Arizona?
Because you were back and forth, like, visiting or living?
So check this out.
So I was really, like, I don't know if it was me dying for attention, what the
fuck it was, or my mom, ADHD.
I don't really know, but I always used to get in trouble, like, a lot.
I used to, like, I used to bite kids in the kindergarten type shit.
Oh, say, in Arizona.
Yeah, like, well, that was over here and we moved here.
But I was always doing fuck shit.
I was always, like, just ditching, bro.
I was always just, just all kinds of fuck shit.
So my mom just got tired of it, so she sent me back to San Jose to live with my uncle and my aunt.
For how long?
For like a whole school year.
And I would go back and forth every other year.
So I'd literally like seventh grade was in San Jose.
Eighth grade was in Arizona.
Freshman year was in Arizona.
Sophomore year was in San Jose.
Like I just kept going back and forth because I got kicked out in high school in Arizona.
So I ended up going to San Jose.
I got kicked out of there.
So I came back over here.
It was crazy.
So you were literally back and forth.
From the Bay to...
Yeah, bro.
And how was that for your mental health?
It was interesting, bro.
Like, honestly, like, I guess I used to just be like,
ah, like, fuck, like, why am I going over here?
But it was, I would like to say...
I would like say help me, like, grew who I am
just because, like, it kept me in track
with my Mexican roots, because my family over there, bro,
like, I go visit them.
I don't speak English, like, one time.
Where in...
In San Jose.
Yeah, because my family from over there
is, like, from Yichakhan, from Aurelia.
Yeah, so that shit's...
And then in Arizona, I'm like literally like just just straight rap music all the time.
I love country music.
And my step pop, my step pops, he's from Morelia, Michocon also.
So we listen to Mana, El Tris, like all that, bro.
You feel me?
Enanitos Verdes, all that.
So like that.
So like that, I feel that really influence me too.
So, yeah.
That's fire.
And then when did you officially stay in Arizona after being sent back and forth?
I guess I didn't really officially stay there.
But I guess I stayed there like once I just.
was known with high school.
Okay.
But Arizona in San Jose, like, how hard, like, when I say mental,
how hard was it, like, dealing with the friendships?
It wasn't hard.
I was a pretty cool social person, like, friendships and stuff.
Like, I was always, like, cool.
Like, I remember I made friends just walking to the high school in San Jose.
Like, I just, luckily I was lucky, so I didn't have to take the bus.
I just walked.
And people were just like, hey, bro, like, you knew I never seen you.
I was like, oh, I'm this, this and that.
Next to you know, when an Easteridge.
Eastridge fucking sucks as a mall.
But that was like the shit to do over there, you know, just walking there on some fuck shit.
You walk to Costco to get samples and shit.
Like, this is a bunch of fuck shit.
Obviously, we'd get together smoke type shit.
But it was cool.
I was always able to make friends and shit.
I was always a cool guy.
Like, I'm not this person that, like, tries to be something they're not.
So I think that always made people gravitate around me, you know.
And what about, like, let's just say you had a girlfriend in Arizona and you would,
and your mom moved y'all, you would have to break up with her and then?
Well, actually, well, no, like, I think I had a girl in Arizona.
when I was in high school, like my freshman year,
and, like, half the sophomore year,
and I moved there.
And actually, yeah, the day that I moved to San Jose,
like, me and her, like, broke up type shit.
She left your ass.
Like, yeah, you're going over there.
It's too far.
We can't be together.
Nah, it was just some too much shit.
Honestly, I was just on some fuck shit back then, too.
So I was really on some, like, ah, like, whatever, then.
Fuck you.
You know?
And then, in a week, she got a new dude, if I remember, you feel me?
Yeah.
What a slut.
Yeah, fuck it.
Yeah.
Nah, she's good people, I guess.
I don't know.
Okay.
And then where does the music come to play?
Like, how did Alexa start, like, how did you start doing music?
So really how it started was I was like 15 years old and my mom should never give me money to go like hang out with the homies or like she'd be like school back, whatever.
If you want to do some other shit, that's on you.
Like you got a girl.
You got to take her on a date.
Like you make the money.
So I was like, fuck it.
All right.
I got a little guitar and a ukulele from like a pawn shop.
And from there I went straight to Ross.
I started singing for money.
I was making like 50 bucks and $30.
30 minutes, bro.
Wow.
And, but in Arizona.
Yeah, in Arizona.
It was across the street from my high school, Kellis, on 91st in Orangewood.
So across from there was like a Target, a Coles, a fucking Taco Bell, a Ross, and
Michael.
So I just used to, I learned that if you post up in front of, like, the little, like, quote
on quote, like, where people with money go to, like, they're not giving you no money.
But Ross, it's people that, like, they're looking for the deals.
So I feel they're more, they're like, their hearts were more open to be like,
oh, who's this little 15-year-old kid?
Like, here you go, here you go.
Damn.
He used to give me snacks and shit.
Like, used to give me, like, soda.
I was just like, I don't really want this.
Like, I'm about to go buy weed and Taco Bell with your money.
Like, you're good.
But it was cool.
What songs were you sing with the ukulele?
I was singing, like, everything and anything.
Like, I was singing Kit Cuddy.
I was singing Never Shout Never.
I was singing like, uh, but there's this one.
There's this one I used to sing all the time.
I forget what it's called.
But it's like, break.
The song's called Break Even.
I used to sing anything and everything, bro.
Because I learned if you know four chords, you can sing anything.
That's crazy.
And who talks with your four chords?
Myself.
I was just on YouTube, bro.
I used to just be on YouTube all the time.
Like, I was on YouTube, like, trying to learn everything and anything.
Damn, I wish we had a ukulele right here so you can sing this.
Bro, but I used to, the thing is I feel like the reason I'm so good at music is I can play with my voice.
Like, I can sound like a white boy type shit.
You feel me?
Let me hear you sound like a white boy.
I was hoping you say that.
All right.
You don't know how much I adore this damn rock.
Clariform it makes me so hard to ignore.
You feel me?
But then the cool thing is I learned because I love Tori Lanes and that's where you's
like, will you spend one day with me?
I know that you're gonna come around on.
Like I just learned how to like really fuck with my voice.
You really made a white voice right now.
Bro, I yeah, bro.
I love country music and I love like rock, bro.
So I feel like that scene of like, I never sure, never wasn't really it, but like,
you feel me?
Like just everyone around that was like, was cool to me.
I just was trying to make, sing the songs that I thought people knew and be like,
I'll give them money for that.
And then, and then that's fine.
So let's say you were to see like, okay,
so if you were to see a white couple walking by,
you would do that song.
Well, honestly, I used to sit there and wait.
But no one was walking by,
I'd be like, all right, cool,
and whatever.
I'm on my phone, chilling.
The minute I see that door open,
I literally would look for the hand,
see what color it is or whatever.
I'm like, all right,
I know what to hit real quick.
So yeah, it was cool.
And then what would you see if you were to see,
like, black people?
I would just sing like, I don't know,
just whatever the fuck.
I'd pretty sure they listen to everything.
I can cutty,
turn on your white voice for white people you're like oh my god let me just do a fucking
bleak 182 song it was just white people really i felt like white people was like the only people
that were harder to like give me money yeah like you know mexican black people like we're all the
same you know what i mean like we's just oh my god like what you're doing it was your mom whatever
the fuck you feel me like it was cool i remember my homie just to be like hey bro you should put a
a sign like i need school supplies i was like nah that's whack bro just i'm not about to do
all that shit bro but me and the homies used to do a bunch of fuck shit for money back then so it was
Cool. Like what?
For instance, we'd go to, like, Walmart.
We'd steal the games that weren't, like, locked up,
and then we'd take them to GameStop and then, you know, like...
Oh, okay, okay, yeah.
You feel, okay, yeah. We'll go to Lowe's or fucking Home Depot,
take little shits, go to another Home Depot or Lowe's.
And they return him.
Yeah, we'd be like, oh, yeah, we work with our dads, you know, like, blah, blah.
You know what it was?
Donate plasma.
Yeah, okay, yeah, that's smart right there, brother.
You just try.
You feel that?
We was on some...
We were like, you know what?
We smoke and we do this and we do that.
let's take care of it ourselves.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
Like if we're gonna fuck off,
let's fuck off with our own money.
You feel me?
Because I got homies now where it sucks,
but they're what,
like fucking in mid-20s, bro,
and they still live with their parents,
asking their parents for money to buy weed.
Like, to me, that's weird.
You know what I mean?
That's weird.
That's weird.
I'm like, I'm cool off that.
Like, I'm good.
That's why I left.
I'm here trying to,
I'm birds of feather flocked together.
I'm around people that work just as hard as me.
No, facts.
So when did you start taking music seriously?
I would say I started taking seriously
when I moved to Vegas, I was like 19, 20 years old, 20 years old, I don't remember.
But so I realized I was like, yo, me and my homies ain't really doing shit.
I'm tired.
Like, I know my life, I'm just going to fucking be a buster or a runner dishwasher.
I'm going to be a line cook.
Like, I know, like, that's what I was doing my whole life.
So I was like, let me just take this chance and go to Vegas, be by myself.
Because I was a part of some, like, little neighborhood, like, label thing.
Like, whatever, just some whack shit.
And then I went over there.
I was working at an office depot in this restaurant,
and at night I just would make my music.
I was taking it seriously, and from there,
I got Trappzilla lifted and bootleg keft to, like, fuck with me.
Like, they was hitting me up, like,
hey, bro, I fuck with you.
Like, your shit's dope.
We should live.
But at the moment you're living in Vegas.
Yeah, I live in Vegas by myself.
Oh, okay, by yourself.
Yeah.
Well, I would say by myself because, like, I didn't know anybody.
It was just me, myself and I.
And then, like, the dude that, like, I was, quote-unquote,
like, signed to on some little, like, you know,
neighborhood label shit.
Like, he was there, but he was a fucking dick.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he was just on some, like, Umar Johnson shit, you know, like, just very, like,
telling me this, this and that.
Like, you should eat soy nuggets and this and that.
I'm like, but I like regular nuggets, bro.
Like, what the fuck, you know what I mean?
And this is how long ago?
Shit, I don't know, bro.
Like, in my, like, I'll say, like, five, six years ago, seven years.
And then Bullet K. K. Chapsidla, they're tapping in with you at this point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it was cool, but I was still, like, on my own thing where I was just like, yeah,
just doing my own thing.
and just trying to do it myself
because I was like,
all right, what I'm doing
is kind of working.
Obviously, Kev noticed me
because I'm a very loyal dude, bro,
like super loyal.
Like, we can go through fuck shit,
whatever the fuck.
I'm like, this is my team.
Like, the dude that shoots my videos now
is the same dude that shot my video
like since I started, you know?
So it's cool to see the growth, you know?
The dude that I lived with
when my mom kicked me out
when I was like 16, 17,
he now engineers at Kev Studio.
Fire.
You know, because me and him met at a barbecue restaurant.
He was a server.
I was a buser.
And that food took me in
So like that's what I'm saying
Like I just always try to keep the team together
And it's just
But yeah some fuck shit happened
And finally I hit up Kev like yo bro
You still you still you still trying to work and shit
From there he's like yeah
That fool literally got me a fucking Uber to the airport
And everything
And it was history from there
Then from there little by little like you know
You went from Vegas to the airport
Yeah so like it's some fuck shit
Happened in that situation
With the little label you were signed to
Yeah bro it was on some like yo
You need to lose weight type shit
And I wasn't even big yet
I was two,
200 pounds.
Bro, 200 pounds, bro.
What label is this?
I'm not even going to give them the time of day, bro.
Fuck them.
Okay, but they were like,
they were trying to like build an image.
I guess you would you say?
Yeah,
they just really had me on this like thing
where it's just,
because I've always always been myself.
Like, I've always just like,
bro, I don't give a fuck.
I'm gonna, I shop at Goodwill.
I wear sandals.
I do this.
I do, like, I don't, I don't care about like any of that shit.
So they was just, oh, well, you at least got to look good,
look the part.
This food was on me.
Like, I called.
Like, I come home from work and he'd be like,
yo, you should probably run the treadmill.
I'm like, bro, I'm fucking tired.
I just worked two fucking jobs today.
Like, I got to go make music right now.
Like, you know?
So it was just some fuck shit.
And then I remember he was just like,
ain't nobody going to manage you or like try to work with you after like,
you know, we dropped you.
I was like, all right.
I was like, all right?
I called Kev right up.
Like, oh, you still trying to work?
Fucking got me Uber to airport.
Shit was history from there.
But, but, but Kev, I hit you up not knowing that you were part of something.
No, no.
Like, he hit me up, like, on some like, just work shit.
I told him, like, what was going on.
Yeah, yeah, but Kev's always been, like,
Kev's, like, literally, like, one of the coolest people ever, like, in my life.
Like, he's always been cool, always been chill.
And we just, always just chop it up on some cool, genuine shit.
And then, but, so that's why, like, I fuck with it, too,
because in my head he always would, like, just keep tapping in with me, seeing what's up.
Yeah, support.
You know, like, even though I told him, like, I got the situation right now,
like, I'm not, not really going to, you know, like, switch up or nothing like that.
And then some fuck shit happened, and I was just like, fuck it.
I'm just call up Kev, see what.
up and yeah.
And then you got the flight and went straight to L.A.
To Arizona.
And so the thing in A. Z, I was there for like a month or two, just still working.
Me and Kev, like, he tapped me in with my guy Adam because he had like a cool little
warehouse at the time, the studio.
So I was working with Adam and my boy Cyrus a lot.
Cyrus is the dude.
He just mixed my project right now.
So that shit's cool.
But I just been working with them and, you know, Kemp would come back and forth from L.A.
to A.Z and we just tap in.
And then one night, fucking, like, so, like, I already agreed to work with Kev.
Like, yeah, let's do it.
But we had nothing, like, no, like, nothing official.
Yeah, yeah, there's no paperwork.
Yeah, and then finally it was cool because then fucking he was like,
yo, let's go to a show.
And, like, I was like, yeah, I'm cool.
Like, I've never been to, like, a cool, like, concert or nothing like that,
like a cool show.
I'm not thinking nothing of it.
He's all right, come to my family's, like, birthday party.
It was his son.
It was his son's birthdays and shit.
Shout out Aiden.
So, I just went there.
It was cool.
I felt cool.
It was like, you know, a family.
Yeah, family.
It made me feel good, too,
because, like, I like, I like this shit.
Like, all my fans in San Jose,
I don't really get used to it.
I don't really get used to it like that no more.
So then from there, we go to the show.
I'm not thinking nothing.
I'm thinking in my head,
all right, let's go to the front.
Nah, we go to the back.
And I'm just like, oh, shit.
Like, this is cool.
I sit down.
I'm not, like, next thing you know,
like, then he tells me it's a Post Malone show.
I'm like, holy shit.
This shit's lit.
What the fuck.
I love Post Malone.
This is dope.
Next you know, Post Malone walks right in.
I'm just like,
La Verena.
Oh, this shit is dope.
Like, in my head, my mind was blown.
We're just chopping it up.
Cool.
He went on, performed, killed it.
That shit was, like, in my head, like,
hella motivational.
Yeah.
Well, that's Post Malone.
Yeah, bro.
Like, sitting there watching him do his shit.
Because, like, a lot of people compared me to him.
They say I'm the Mexican post.
You know?
So, like, and I would say I get a lot of influence from Post, too,
because, like, everybody thinks, like, I make, like,
I just rap.
Like I'm like this, and I'm like, I don't.
I'd be singing, bro.
I really be on some like rockish hip hop, like R&B, whatever.
Like, you know, just shit like that.
But so that was inspirational and that really blew my mind.
That made me like, oh, shit.
All right.
If I'm here right now and I didn't, I didn't think I could do this.
Like, I would ever be here.
So if I could be here, I could be somewhere else.
Like, shit, look, I'm on no jumper with Duno.
Yeah, nah, shout on a jumper, man.
Sout on Lexus.
You see.
You know me, the baby blue assassin.
The baby blue assassin.
Yeah, you know, you for me.
I put it together.
Okay.
I kind of matched you with my little brand, you feel?
Yeah, I'm mad at it.
I don't like your hat, but it's all right.
It's okay.
I don't like your hat.
Yeah, my ass to fucking Padres, how that happened.
Shut up, motherfucker.
You guys are never going to.
The sons are trash.
The suns, yeah, so we cast that too, you guys.
I might be ashy, bro.
Shout out the sons, you feel me?
Man, you motherfuckers, they never go in with shit, bro.
You got three authors on your team of y'all are trash.
Let's bet a thousand dollars that the sons go farther than the Lakers this year.
I don't give a fuck about further, niggas.
Who wins the ring?
Who would win a ring first?
The Lakers or the Sons, like starting now.
Who's going to win one first?
We are.
I bet you $1,000.
Oh, my God.
Well, you know, Kev now and I want you to waste your marketing money.
I'm betting doing a...
I'm betting my own money.
What are you talking about?
But what I'm saying is, bro, okay, let's not get into it because we go all day.
Okay, so then you and Kev and go to the show and then you guys finally make it official.
Well, no, not really.
Like, it was just really, like, on some cool shit.
Kev really, like, showed me, like, all right, like, this, this is, this could be it.
This is cool, you know, like, whatever the fuck.
It wasn't even on no nothing.
He was like, yo, just wrote with me, you know, like, on some homie shit.
Like, not even on some, like, I'm his artist type shit, nothing like that.
And it was crazy is that that same night.
I've never been to, like, no club or nothing like that.
Like, I never went out, bro.
Like, I'm a dive bar type of person.
I'm a drink at home type of person.
Yeah.
This fool took me to, like, Scottsdale, downtown.
And, like, took me to, like, two, three clubs.
And I was like, holy shit, you know?
Like, skipped the line.
I felt cool.
I was like, oh, shit, we skipped the line.
I'm not used to nothing like that.
I never think of shit like that.
Yeah, you were living large, man.
Yeah, I was feeling cool.
So it's cool, you know, just having my drinks.
And he tells me the next day, hey, tomorrow I'm going to Vegas to this Black Bear show if you want to roll.
I'm like, all right, cool, I'm down, you know, whatever, don't think nothing of it.
Day of, as he's coming to pick me up to drive to Vegas so we can go to the show.
He's like, bro, just come stay with me for three months in L.A.
And see what happens.
And I was like, fuck it.
I got nothing to lose?
Like, why not?
Like, just like that, like that, just that thought.
Went to the Black Bear shit, you feel me?
Like, it was a cool thing.
I'm just there like, oh, shit, this is dope.
Like, those two days I was like, holy fuck.
Then came to L.A., he put me in a writing session with Poo Bear, bro.
My first writing session ever was with Poo Bear.
Wow.
Talk about that experience.
Bro, it was crazy.
It was just me and Poo Bear.
And then just, it was cool because, like, it was kind of like validation.
Because you know how you're at that place where you're just like, do I deserve this?
Am I dope enough?
No, most definitely, yeah.
But some people think that the show.
shit already. I don't think that way. I'm a very, I'm a realistic
person. I'm like, I always got to work hard. I've proved
myself. So I was there and then that food
poo-poo-bearer was like, nah, fuck with you, you're dope, you feel
me? Like, you got to fucking, you're cool, you're, and I was like,
oh shit. So to hear that, I was like, all right, let's
fucking go then. So I've just been, just been working
ever since. And you've worked with multiple
people, Kid Inc. Yeah.
Snow the product, fucking
Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain. How are
all those experiences individually? And
if you have any dope stories, we would love to hear them.
So I would say
All right
So my first
The first major artist
I worked was with Wiz
Was Wiz
Yeah so
Wiz and Cap G
You feel me
You got a Chico
It's dope
It's dope record
And
It was just cool
Because he came through
He showed love
And you always have
Those ideas
Of like
You know
Like big artists
And stuff
That they might be
Dickheads
Or they just might not be
That
Whiz was cool
As fuck
Like
Super cool
Yeah I just
I remember telling them
I was like
Hey bro
I was just like
Bro you're the reason
I was wearing
Chucks
You feel of me
Cargo
and all that shit. It was cool. He's like, yeah, blah, blah, blah. The funniest thing about that day
was my manager, my other manager dude, Adam, he goes up to Wiz, and he's like, hey, bro, can you just
do the laugh for me? Like, can you do your laugh? And we're just like, what laugh? And what laugh? And
Adam's like, you know the laugh, bro, the laugh. Trying to put it in the video and was like,
I don't know what laugh. Can you do it for me? Like, that shit just funny as fuck. And we
was just chilling, drinking McQueen. We was drinking a shit. And I just remember going shot for
shot. And in my head, I'm like, nah, fuck that. I'm not about to take, I'm not about to turn
down a shot. I'm doing every single one, every single one. So I remember, uh, fucking
Wiz stopped. He's like, I'm cool. I'm like, hey, bro, we got me and you got to take one more.
Just in my head, I can tell myself, like, all right, cool. Like, I drag with Wiz and I like,
you feel me? I'll drink them just for myself, because I don't smoke, you know what I mean?
So it was kind of crazy, like, the fact that people always ask me, like, you know, when
you're a kid, you're like, oh, like, I would smoke with Wiz, I would smoke with Snoop.
The fact that Wiz was like, you know, like, hey, you want to smoke, like, here's this or
whatever, and I was just like, I'm cooling.
Yeah, okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, it's crazy to be like, I actually was in that scenario and I actually was like,
nah, I'm cool because I don't smoke, bro.
Like, I really, I get all paranoid and I start thinking weird-ass shit.
You don't smoke?
Nah, I don't smoke?
But you saw fake lien.
How'd you know that?
How'd you know that?
I used to, back in the day.
That's where the plasma came into play.
Why would you sell fake lean to me, well?
Well, it was just, bro.
You're a dickhead of food.
I know, but I was in AZ, so it was cool.
I was in, you know, I was in some, like, fucks you.
So what happened was, I went to, like, a pretty new high school.
So it was, like, a bunch of, like, little rich white kids, you know?
Like, so it was cool.
And then I was homies with my boy, Lirk, you feel me?
Shout Lurkmaster.
He actually from L.A.
So he's the one that started putting me on the play, you feel me?
Okay.
So he was, all right, let's go donate plasma.
After we go donate plasma, we're going to get a cool little 50, 60 bucks.
We're going to be weak as fuck because we just donated plasma.
We're going to hit the urgent care real quick.
And then it's going to be, like, um,
We're just going to be like, I got a tickle with my throw.
I can't sleep, blah, blah, blah.
I think it was a cool little green, you know, some yellow, you know.
Nothing crazy, a nice little four guy.
Hit the Walgreens, get it, you know, get the K roll real quick.
And then, loki, like, I'm not even going to say what else we did in it.
It was just, I was stupid.
I was young.
We did some other shit to it to make sure it hit.
And then, yeah, it was really stupid.
Now I think about it.
What would have was, like, do crunch up his hands or something?
I'm not even going to say what we was doing, you feel me?
But we was, I'm a fucking kid, bro.
I'm like 60, 17 years old thinking like, yeah,
you know, like I'm listening to all this music, like fuck it.
But the craziest thing ever, now that I think about it,
is we was linking up with fools, bro, like, that was in college.
I'm literally, like, in high school still chilling.
Like, and these fools that really was like, like, lean sippers, and they'd come,
they tested out, everything.
Like, all right, cool, cool, how much?
I let them know what's up.
And on their way, there's only one time where, like, some fuck shit happened.
And he was like, bro, just give me all that shit right now.
And I was like, yeah, bro, you good.
Like, because we knew what the fuck was doing, but we was getting away with it.
So we thought there would be no consequences until we reached that one person.
Damn, but that one person came and you know it was fake?
Nah, I don't think he knew.
He was just looking at it.
He tested it.
Bro, that shit, yeah, that shit was moving.
Like, that shit looked like liquid, bro.
It's so funny because I have pictures of, like, me and my boy.
Like, I remember we going to parties, though.
Like, we had the real shit to ourselves.
Obviously, it was like nothing crazy, you know, like no tech, no, nothing like that.
But, you know, I used to go with, like, two bottles here, two bottles here, thinking I was, like, the coolest shit ever, you know?
People were like, bro, $20.
bucks let me get a sip i'm like yeah i was extra with it so i had a fucking uh you know like circle k
like two 40 ounce circle k drinks like that just sipping bro i think i was the coolest shit
of it bro i was just dumb as fucking high school man how much you used to sell that shit for
him uh so back then it really didn't go for a lot but it was cool like it was like a cool little 30
for an ace you feel me like two 300 for like a little four like it wasn't really like we
wasn't doing the most bro you know what was the most money you made doing that shit
I think the most me and my boy ever made, it wasn't that much.
It's probably like a little over Iraq.
But we wasn't doing like crazy shit.
We wasn't like on some like scarface type shit.
We was just enjoying our day, get together.
I got my tips from work.
He, you know, he has his money.
However, he made his money and we just get together.
We buy an eighth.
This is when I used to smoke.
And smoke, sip, literally knock the fuck out by 7 p.m.
Wake up the next day.
I'd go to work.
I used to have to walk on the freeway to go to work.
come back home and then same shit
that's some Arizona shit
it's just me shit
nah it's Arizona shit dog because you guys have
the biggest fan of the problem in the country
and let's talk about that
but I don't think back then it was that that big of a deal
when I was like
when you were in high school
yeah it wasn't that big of a deal yet
but it was somehow growing a little bit right
I honestly I can't really speak to it
I wouldn't know because I would say
by the time I was 20 I really got out of there
and like all my homies that were still fucking with shit
you feel me
I got three homies that passed away from drugs.
Yeah, not fend all, but just drugs in general.
So I kind of just stopped, like, I stopped smoking, bro.
I stopped everything.
Just that's why I think I drink so much because I was like, bro, fuck this shit.
Like, that's why I got away from everyone.
I'm like, I'm not with the shits.
I just remember my homie one time just getting out the car, just knocking somebody out,
taking this backpack in the whip and dipping.
I was like, in my head, I'm like, bro, that shit ain't fucking cool, bro.
Like, that shit weeks are.
So just shit like that.
And to me, that's not who I am.
That's not me.
It just so happens.
Those are my homies that I grew up with.
And I'm like, that's not me, bro.
I'm good.
Like, I'm cooling.
So I just fucking, I went to Vegas by myself,
to try to get my shit together.
And yeah, I think I did.
Fuck, how many friends you know
that lost people to Fendano over
in the last two, three years?
All my friends, bro.
Or not, no, Fanonovina, my bad.
Fennon.
I would probably say...
A good amount, right?
I would say two of my homies was from Fentinaw.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, shout out my gosh, stress.
You feel me?
How scary is that, though?
Being from a city
where you can't really trust
if anything's real or fake.
Honestly, I would say...
Because in Arizona's crazy,
if you really sit here
and think about it, right?
I love Arizona, by the way.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, bro.
Shout out of Z.
I love it there.
The horns are the best there.
Yeah, I guess it just depends
on who you hang out with.
And on top of that, like,
I have...
Like, I still do my little extracurriculars
here and there.
When I do it,
it's from a source
that I know for a fact
because I know my boy
only fucks with one source,
you feel me?
So it's just shit like that,
but it's just dangerous out there.
But at a point
when you're like drunk, you're fucked up, you're high
and you're already off the shit.
It's like really doing shit.
You don't give a fuck anymore.
You're gonna fucking just slide it through like whatever.
Like who gives the fuck?
I'm gonna try it out.
So it is kind of crazy when you're really sitting here thinking about it like,
oh damn, we're really dumbasses.
We're really playing Russian roulette with this shit.
So that shit's wild.
I don't think about that.
That shit is wild as fuck.
That's just super scary.
But I love Arizona.
The environment there is crazy.
Yeah, bro.
Shout out everybody out there, bro.
Shout out of everybody out there, bro.
Shout out easy, man.
Yeah.
My boy Luciano.
Really good dude.
I know him.
Shout of Luciano.
Him and loaded wiener.
You can eat hot dogs there comfortably.
At 3 a.m.
At 3 a.m.
What better?
No, actually.
That's wild.
That's wildest.
That's why I was fucking said.
Hald at 3 a.m.
shout out Dara.
Shout out everybody out there, man.
Yeah,
dude.
Not for real.
You being from Arizona,
how big of an impact
with MC Magic to your life?
You know what was crazy
is the fact that when I live in San Jose
growing up,
all my cousins and everything
just like,
with listening to MC Magic.
You feel me?
Like, all that.
So.
You know, it's crazy that when I interviewed him,
He said that I think the first label he signed to or like distribution thing I think was in San Jose.
Yeah, because I know one of the girls were from San Jose.
I don't really know per se, you know, but I just know MC Magic from my family.
You know what I mean?
Like, and bumping it.
Like I've like, so I would say like it is an influence because if you really think about it,
he was on some like singing shit as well.
Super singing shit.
I would say he was T-Pain before T-Pain.
Wow.
Yeah.
If we were really thinking about it.
Like he had the, it wasn't like auto-tune, Iotune.
It was the talk box.
Yeah, but that's pretty much idle tune.
The thing is you just have to know what courts.
That's even harder to do if we're being honest,
because you've got to know what keys to press.
You never going to get another T-Pain feature.
I hope.
I hope I do it.
Nah, but T-Pain's a legend in themselves
just to even say I have a song with T-Pain is crazy as fuck too.
No, that's a legendary.
Nah, but yeah, MC Magic, like, how was it for people in Arizona?
I can understand you first heard about him in San Jose.
But you guys being from Phoenix,
you guys being from Arizona,
how big the impact was for you guys?
Well, if I'm being honest with you, bro, I don't know.
Because I was growing up in, like, all my family, like I said, we just listen to rock music.
And my step pops, he was very, like, just country, rock, and just, like I said, El 3, my na, all that.
So I really, and my mom would just listen to whatever my dad would listen to me, you know?
So I never really got a chance to listen to MC Magic.
And then on top of that, like, whoever I did hang out with, it was just straight, like, I don't know, like 50 cent.
Like, you know.
And then the only time I listened to English music was in the radio, like, on the Wade somewhere.
So it was T-Pain and A-Con.
You know what I mean?
So I really would, I really didn't know until I've gotten older now and people will play songs.
And I feel whack because I'm like, what song is this?
Like, bro, this is MC Magic.
I'm like, shit, I don't even know, bro.
Like, I just keep it a stack.
But I know he's probably one of the biggest, like, artists from Arizona.
Oh, he's, he's, bro.
The impact is crazy.
Yeah, no.
I know because, I only know it just because of San Jose.
So just to know that now, I'm just like, holy shit.
shit because I mean even to just do it now at 30 years strong and shit that's that's something
in itself that's crazy for you did you know that kev used to bootleg his CDs what a piece of
shit huh yeah fuck it you gotta get it somehow i'll sound fake leave yeah you're selling fake leave
fake tapes besides of somebody like bullhead kev right man has made his has done his his
paid his dues yeah yeah has a crazy podcast going on hell yeah that food that food probably is
the hardest worker i've ever met in my life working work work
Looks like crazy.
He has you under him.
Yeah.
He does multiple things.
Fucking all types of deals.
True.
D.J.
Shout out Tops.
Shout out Tops.
The newest venture.
We fuck with it.
Fire.
You know,
shout out everything he's doing.
Being sent to somebody like that,
how independent he,
right?
You guys are like independent people,
just you and him.
Yeah.
How hard is it?
How, what's the pressure like?
It's,
to me,
it's a lot of pressure
as a sense of the respect I have for him.
You know what I mean?
Like, to me,
the pressure is just like,
uh,
like,
Literally no one can outwork this fool.
Like, nobody outworks this fool.
So to me, when he asked me to do some shit, ain't no fucking excuse.
Like, and if I'm making an excuse, it lets me know.
Yeah.
What the fuck, bro?
Like, I'm doing this, this and that.
And I'm just like, damn, you're right.
So, like, if this fool asked me, hey, bro, like, true story, perfect example.
I'm in Arizona.
About to get Froyo with my little sister and shit.
Hey, I need you in Arizona right now.
I just got you a ticket.
You need you hop on the fucking airport.
I don't even get a chance to go home and grab my backpack, my ID, none of that shit.
I just go to the airport.
That was what I had to deal with.
came straight to LA in a matter of an hour.
Like, no nothing, bro.
Just, fuck it, you need me to do this?
All right, cool, you need me to do that?
All right, cool.
I'm gonna do what I can, you feel me?
And at first, I thought it was some, like,
I thought it was so annoying
because sometimes, like, he'd tell me to do something
and he's, like, figure it up.
And I'd be like, well, what the fuck?
But then I'm like, all right,
I sit there.
Once I stop complaining for a little bit,
I'm like, all right, and I fucking figure it out.
So I would say, yeah, bro, like, like,
you know, just being his artist and shit,
I feel has made me grown, like,
tremendously to do shit for myself.
There's so much shit I can still do,
but I would say, you know, if it wasn't for that,
I probably would, like, just feel like,
I don't know, how do I do this?
How do I, like, you know?
How hard is it to, like,
how hard is it to, like,
notice that people really fuck with you
or just kind of do shit out of the strength
because he's your manager?
You see, that's funny.
That's a conversation I have with a lot of people.
But I would say,
uh, I would say you can tell.
Okay.
You can tell.
You know, there's a few people where I'm just like,
I think, oh, it's Kev's artist, so let's, you know.
Or I feel like some people sometimes do something for me, like, as a favor to Kev to
do something for Kev, you know?
We'll just never know.
But I would say with time we're going to find out.
But as a right now, everyone's fucked with me.
Like, everybody I've done a song with everybody, like, they promote it.
They're down to do the video.
Like, bro, I've never paid for a feature ever, which is crazy to fucking say.
Shout out Kev.
Yeah, shout out Kev, you feel me?
Yeah, because Kev's that fucking guy, you know?
So it's cool as fuck.
like, I mean, I've met, I met you through Kev.
We fuck with each other.
And then from there, I met Jakarta.
I mean, Jakarta really fuck with each other, you feel me?
I met fucking endless people, yeah.
Just endless people, you know?
My problem is that I just stay at home.
I got to really cultivate those relationships more.
But yeah, they fuck with me and just, like, it would show more if I went out of my way
to really, like, go out there, you know?
Yeah, facts.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just about networking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But honestly, like, even if they don't really fuck with you and they just
fuck it, like, they don't to do something like,
Fuck him, man.
I'll take the opportunity, whatever the fucking take.
You see?
But I can definitely see, like, if we were to feel like,
example, like with Jakarta, he's with me a lot.
He's part of the homies.
He's part of, like, the same group, I guess,
which is not really a group,
is just something I say in and it turned into a group.
Deloresso Leia was guessed.
Yeah, De Laresso, but he fucked him generally.
Yeah, but he generally showed him love
and I think it's like that.
Like, obviously, yes, they're down to listen
because it's you, but it's what you do with that work.
See, that's also what I think, too,
because, like, the other day,
G. Erbo,
was in the studio, bro, and then fucking,
Kev was like, you know, Giver was playing this shit,
and the Gerv was like, I'll even play you some of his shit.
Every time, every time he plays people in my shit,
they're like, what the fuck, bro?
Like, you're a fucking problem, and that's what's cool.
That's how I got to, like, I started to realize that more.
Like, you know what?
It's just, he's giving me the opportunity.
It's my, it's my role to knock it out the park.
Yeah, no, facts, facts, fact, like.
He's putting you on the play.
Now, let me see what you do with this play.
And I would like to say I hit a home run every time.
Oh, yeah, my guy.
Yeah, my God.
It's like your shit because you're in the studio with ACOR recently too.
Yeah, yeah, bro, to get that, bro, to get an ACON, like,
cosign where he's just like, bro, you, it, you like, you just need one and you're out of here,
it's wild to me.
Like, I feel like, luckily, you know, people was filming it because I feel if I told someone
like, oh, bro, Acon loved all my songs, they'd be like, yeah, whatever.
Cool, cool.
Yeah, so yeah, bro, it's cool.
It's just a great feeling, bro.
Did you think lonely too?
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
though.
Yeah, how would you
would have sang it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's a great song.
It is a great song.
How would you have sang it?
I don't know.
You don't know either?
Do you sing it when you're lonely?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So lonely.
It looks like you're never lonely though.
I know, but sometimes
I'll be lonely in my head.
But even when you're lonely,
you're like online or something doing stuff.
So, you know, millions of people are there with you.
Yeah, but it comes such a fucking great.
Bro.
No, for real.
To say that I'd knock,
like, I got two legends.
Like, I knocked two legends, like,
out of my list of people I want to work with
is wild. Like, people can't say that.
The fact I work with T-Pain and A-Con
T-Pain. Fucking wild.
Who's better T-Pain or A-Con?
I would say, I would say as a sense
of, like, musically, like,
I don't know, actually. I would say the equal.
I don't know.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, Kays.
So funny.
It's with me.
But damn.
But A-Con, you're speaking Spanish.
Spanish.
But they got to do.
What are you saying?
People ain't getting no closer
That he calls legendary
Yeah
Damn
I like you have a great singing voice
Bro
You should sing huh
You should hit a karaoke one time
With you us and some four locoes
Fuck gotta see
You have to include drinking you motherfucker
Yeah but I know you love four locals
I did four locals one time
Really bro it looks like you do four locals
All the time
Nah I just drink hella casamigos
But I did go to escape
And enjoy myself with the
Some Casamigos
And for locals in a mixture of a bottle
I saw that
Which wasn't a fucking great idea.
But hey.
One time I shot gun two four locals.
Oh, yep.
You have a problem.
It was for content purposes.
But I avoided that content now.
I'm not doing that type of content no more.
Yes, sir.
So you just dropped the song with Rucci.
Yeah, I did.
And you dropped in a tape.
Let's talk about everything, please.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So this project, we've been working on it for like since the beginning of like,
midway from COVID.
Like, that's when we started getting the idea of working on it.
And then finally it became official
Like a few months ago
We're like all right
It's time to really
It's time to focus on the project
You have like hundreds and hundreds of songs
That's really try to hone it in
Maybe make some new shit
This this and that
And so I don't know what the fuck happened
But in the last two months
I was me and my boy Austin
Really was getting in bro
And just pumping shit out
Like probably the best music
I've ever made in my life
Focus
Yeah and I was just like
What the fuck like
Not even on some drunk shit
I don't know nothing
We was just making shit
And then from there
like it was really crazy because we started working on it.
Then next of you know, I got Tori Lanes on a fucking song, right?
Like, and what's crazy, that's just not even on this project.
Did Tori Lanes do it?
Oh, fucking killed it.
No, did he do it?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Hell not.
I don't know.
Kemp, don't get mad at me.
I'd just ask him, Kemp.
Nah, no, I'm a big Tori Lanes fan.
And I don't know.
From linking with him, he don't look like that type of guy.
Yeah, shout out, shout out Tori Lane.
Yeah, Tori Lane.
great guy.
I fuck with Torley.
He wanted the best artists of our time.
I don't care.
He's a legend.
He's a legend.
He's a legend.
I've been listening to that one since I was a freshman in high school.
Yeah, he's art.
Okay, so you got Tori Lane's, but he's not even on the project.
Nah, he's on the next one.
Why you didn't put him on the project?
Because I'm a bit, I like, I like to say I make art.
Okay, okay.
You know, like, I'm making art.
Like, this project's called Life Goes On.
You feel me?
So it's about, you know, just realizing problems I got or just like, all right, bro.
Like, it's okay to be, like, you know, sad about something.
some shit or whatever the fuck, but life goes on.
So the whole purpose of the project is like, you know, it starts off like, ah, like
the intro is talking about some real personal shit to me and over it, like, it's still,
it gets personal.
And then it starts getting like, just, you turn up more, you just start to enjoy it more.
Because it's like, that's what life is.
Like, it's cool to be sad, it's cool to dwell.
But you can't just be stuck on that shit.
Like, I almost literally, I would say almost ruined my whole life and career just because
I was so sad and fucking drinking so much over some shit.
And then I was like, bro, what the fuck is your issue, bro?
Like, what is your problem?
Like, come on now.
And then you figured it out and were able to maneuver it and channel that energy into fucking making dope music.
Yeah, bro.
Which is the vibe.
And then, and then, and I'm going to cut you up.
But I've seen you in the studio and you work, dog.
You're a workhorse.
Yeah.
So I'm really excited for this project.
And the root-y shit.
And I'm going to be biased because Jakarta is my dog.
I feel like you guys make great music anymore.
But that backstreet boy shit you guys did.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's something great right there.
Yeah.
And then Jakarta got a tape coming on the way, too.
I hope so Bullet Kev, you piece of shit
Harry's a fuck up
Okay, but you're dropping this project
Life goes on
The Rucci's song is out
How's your laugh
I don't know
That's just funny as fuck
Too yeah
The Rucci song's coming out
I mean the Rucci one is already out
Yeah, yeah
And then who else is on the tape
All right so I'm just going in order
From like what I know
Or like okay so obviously T-Pain's on it
Because that's the first song we dropped
Shout out T-Pin
And then Snow the products on it
Because she's on the remix of that
Fire
And then Jikard is on it
Obviously with late-night Shard
Oh, late night, shoddy.
You ever play that song late at night when you're lonely?
No.
Price you play Acon lonely, then you play this one.
Late night, Saturday, I bumped it while Sauring once, and it was a vibe while Sauring.
I was starting to go to the club, though, and late night, and I was going to meet up a sari.
So it's a vibe.
You and D. Poet just looked like a great combo.
Deep Poet's trash, dog.
Never mind.
I can't even, I'm not even going to talk about it.
He's horny.
He's horny.
Bro, that's why I be saying, like, people would be like, bro, I'm going to go to the club meet a girl.
I'm like, I don't know, bro.
I'd be seeing girls dance on Deep Poet.
Like, I don't know if I want that girl.
De Poet, my way to fuck your bitch
if you've been in the L.A.
You know, for the last couple months.
And kudos to Deep Poet, though.
He'd be doing his fucking thing.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, man.
He'd be maneuvering.
He'd be giving my fresh cut now, you feel me?
Oh, yeah, he cuss my hair, man.
He, man.
But he takes care of me very well.
He takes care of your bitch very well, too.
If you know what I mean, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, but Jakarta.
Yeah, Jakarta.
And then, uh, then Rucci.
Shout out Rucci.
Yeah.
Fucking.
gas that shit. Shout out Rooge dog.
Rucci's
probably one of the most underrated in Los Angeles.
Yeah, and he's a great guy too.
Great fucking guy.
Great guy, bro. Very nice, man.
And then after that, I'm dropping one with my boy 6am
on the 11th, dropping a song with 6am on the 11th.
After that, right before my album drops,
I'm dropping a song with G-Easy.
Yeah, bro, shit crazy, shit crazy.
Okay.
Then from there, got my boy Dubies on there,
my boy G-O-D's on there.
Coyotes is on there.
Shout out the fucking Yotis.
You feel me?
And yeah, I got a good amount of people.
Got a good amount of people.
Man, did you see what the Yodies did with,
did with the homie?
Guabo did with the fucking,
with the freestyle.
If I had one more day.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dog.
I think George Lopez fucking posted that shit,
no?
That shit was crazy.
Bro, those foods, I will say,
is the Mexican outcast.
I don't care what no one says.
Wow, I never thought about that.
The thing that sucks is I feel like
if you really dive into their music
And, like, I don't know if what they showed me is out, but I was just really sitting there like, bro, these fools, their videos too are very artistic.
Like, they're very artistic people from the way they dress to the way they maneuver, everything they do.
Like, and I appreciate that.
You know?
Oh, you got to appreciate them, dog.
I appreciate all that shit, bro.
Yeah.
Dog, and they have to be one of the best lyrics I've heard ever.
Yeah, bro.
Underrated.
Those foods is cold.
Those foods is hella cold.
And their swag is crazy.
Yeah, and I love that they just, their studio is in their backyard.
Like, they just, they very, they very good.
family oriented too, bro.
Very, yeah.
Yeah, bro.
They dope.
I fuck with them.
So, Coyotes, and then who else?
Damn, I forget my album like that.
I don't know.
But, yeah, that's who it is.
Shout out my boy T.K.
My boy, Syres, my boy Austin.
And obviously, Kev, they're the executive producers on it.
So, like, you know, my boy, Dane produced some of it, too.
So, yeah, bro.
I would like to say, like, it's a fucking great project.
Like, if people hear it, like, if you hear it, you're going to love it.
you're gonna fucking love it
and if you don't love it
it's because you haven't heard it
like I personally feel
once people hear my music
they're like
okay I fucking understand this kid
and that's all it is
just gonna take time for me
because I feel people see me
and they think I'm like a Chicano rapper
bro for some reason
I mean but fool you're also young
yeah like we're young fool
like I you shit
I'm supposed to move the next day
obviously things like that do happen
to people and kudos to them
for being able to but a lot of things
are processed dog
and I feel like
I'm not I'm not like a person
that goes out there and does like
hella random goofy shit
or like shit like that to get attention
you know what I mean I want my art to speak for me
no most definitely and it has
from the things I've heard from the time I've seen
you at the studio because I even just
last week I saw you fucking engineering
a little bit you were like you're like I'm not the best
but I can maneuver to if I want to be in the studio
I'm gonna be in the studio yeah I definitely
can do my thing so from there

like a skeleton I can make sure
that my dudes that know like Cyrus
