Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. It's 522. That is a coincidence. I was just looking at it to see what time it was, but we got a 22. Adam, I was 22 before you, I believe. Pulled that in. I believe I was 22 before you, Adam.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I've been Adam 22 since 1999. 1990? Maybe 2000. Got you beat. I'm from 22nd of Philly or Oakland, California. But did you relate to that? number from birth no my granddad live on 22nd for you mm 20 22nd I always been murdered the 20 second then I must salute you as my 22
Starting point is 00:00:41 OG 22 up here you got 22 like me I told you just last time where you got it what's on I got a lot of ink oh yeah right there right there yeah yeah I got some places I fuck with that but also I feel like I don't necessarily want to be like celebrating myself on my own body. Yeah. Like I'm a superhero. Yeah, I do a lot. Yeah, but you're a rapper.
Starting point is 00:01:04 I do a lot. I had this before I ever rap. I had, man, I had this in 2011. I had 22 on my forehead in 2011. Before I was a rapper, I had seven tattoos on my face. Hmm. How old do you know? 31.
Starting point is 00:01:21 I'd be 30. Two, March 22, 21st. I guess like when I was younger, It was easier to justify wanting to get tattoos because I just had so many passionate ideas coursing through my veins. And as I get older, it's more like when I have somebody like offer me tattoos.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I'm like, I can't even think of what the fuck I would want to get at this point in my life. I just don't. I've settled into more of a normal life. I'm not about to get the no jumper back tat. Which if I was 21 right now, for show, I would have a no jumper on some I have a basketball talk.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Yeah, basketball right. Big basketball on my back. I was 15. I was getting tired by the Mexican. I was 15 years old. I was skipping school to go get blasted by the Mexican. Really? Yeah, we are.
Starting point is 00:02:11 That was their hustle at this time? Mm-hmm. I used to get tatted by a gangbanger, a Serenio, in West Oakland. Mm. I used to get tired of Serenio on West Oakland. He used to blast me. Blast all my partners.
Starting point is 00:02:23 It was getting tatted, but I was skateboarding. I was doing all the type of shit I was getting inked up I was inked up hell early all this the leg inked up yeah that is the weird thing listening to tell your life story
Starting point is 00:02:38 because it's like you seem like you're doing real good in school like you've got a lot of extracurricular activities you're very much a man of the culture there's a lot of things you're interested in but then also read between the lines seems like you're also getting into some dodgy
Starting point is 00:02:53 if you will running around Tomato, tomato. Doing your thing. But I like a man of culture like that. Making it happen, me, you know, scratching the surface. Got to make it happen. But I'm in a better, I'm in a better head space now, though.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Way better hair space. But I'm older. I take pride in being the older. 31. I take pride in that. To the youth. Talking to the young. Doing it, though, like being hollering at them,
Starting point is 00:03:23 talking to football. Like, kids, probably on a football team. and high school teams. I've been doing that. I just feel better now, like, because I'm in a better headspace, you know what I mean? I can say I give them, I remind them more than I give them game. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:39 Remind them or what versus game? Of who they are, you know what I mean? And what this is I'm with? And, you know, of course, the kids, they look at me, and they're like, oh, a rapper, I want to be a rapper. I'm not just a rapper. I'm a father, too. I'm not just a father, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:54 I'm a man before anything. I'm a gentleman. before all that, you know what I mean? I'm a lot, man. I'm a lot. I'm a teacher. I'm a coach. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:03 I like to look at myself as the college coach. It's still very important for you to have that sort of role in the community? Hell yeah. Hell yeah, for sure. I don't never miss a beat with doing it, though. It's just always been me. My mama told me that. My mom always told me I was going to be a coach.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Always. Interesting. What do you think has changed with kids these days versus the type of kids that you grew up around? Social media, they don't gotta go outside. I mean, they don't go outside a lot. You know what I mean? Just what they, what they, you know what I mean, their goals, you know what I mean? It's kind of different.
Starting point is 00:04:39 There's not a lot of physicality to it. You know, really, kids nowadays or the teenagers, it's not a lot, a lot of physical with them. It's not, you know what I mean? It ain't really physical ed with them. It's more like in the house, da, da, da, da, da, where it is, pop out. Kids don't even go to the movies no more.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Like, just pop out all their partners go to the movies. Hop on the bus, man, I got Uber's, all that. Like, it's just, I look at that, but I know, you know, time has changed, you know. Yeah, and it's like the ease of use of technology combined with the fact that we're all basically, like, petrified of what's going on outside because we're so tuned in to everything that's going on in the community where it used to be that somebody could get shot or whatever. and it just you read about it in the newspaper.
Starting point is 00:05:28 It doesn't feel like it's hitting close to home in the same way. Now you hear people talking about letting your kid go play outside like it's a fucking suicide mission because that same person just watched two people get shot on Twitter that morning. And that is going to faint their idea of what the world is. The reality is that I believe the world's, you know, the number of shootings, the amount of violence is actually kind of in decline in the majority of America,
Starting point is 00:05:52 even though it might not feel that way because we're presented with it so much on a daily basis. Right, right. Yeah, I definitely, I can definitely agree with you on that part. I just looked at the crime rate. For example, I was looking at the Oakland crime rate, and I don't even want to say today, but it was 2006 or something. It was way more spankings.
Starting point is 00:06:14 It was way more killings than what it is now. Right. The murder rate was ridiculous, and I'm like, damn. As I'm reading it, I'm like, damn, I remember. Damn, that's wild. Yeah, it's way more. It was way more. Yeah, because now they got your phone information.
Starting point is 00:06:31 They got cameras everywhere. Ping that motherfucker. Ping your cell phone. You watch, like, old movies. It just forces you to think, like, Jesus Christ, it must have been fucking easy. Like, how did anyone get caught? Yeah, literally.
Starting point is 00:06:42 How did anyone get caught doing anything? All that was pay phones. Phones was not a necessity. Like, you can't do shit without a phone. As you see, people can't do shit with you. they phone. Take that motherfucker to the bath and they take it everywhere.
Starting point is 00:06:57 iPhone's charging longer, too. I want to, like, have my kid not have a phone for as long as humanly possible, but you just also wonder, like, how long are you going to be able to sort of dangle that in front of them and be like, listen, no. But I know that they make, like, special types of phones now that, like, are only able to do a couple of things
Starting point is 00:07:15 so that you can get in touch with your kid, but they're not able to get on Instagram or whatever with it, which I personally feel like just letting your kids go wild on Instagram is a massive error. Like, this shit made your kids up in the head. Man, it looks like it's designed like that. I even go see my daughter at school when she's in kindergarten.
Starting point is 00:07:37 And they big on the... Daddy, I have to bring my headphones. I need a new set of headphones. And I'm like, man, what is these headphones for? Like, you know, and I get into class and they all got tablets. You in kindergarten, everybody got tablets. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, maybe it's like that because, you know, she got an iPad at home.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I mean, everything is all this. It's that. Like, what the fuck? To me, like, when I, like, it's just so jarring when I put the TV on and I see what happens to my kid's brain where she just straight up turns into it just, you know, the fucking brain just melts. And it's like sometimes, like, I won't see my kid for a couple days. I come home. The TV's on.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Yeah. She'll like celebrate me coming home for a couple seconds, but then it's right back to the TV. They can't even enjoy the best in life, which is like not seeing your dad for a couple of days. You're supposed to be fully in that moment, but the TV just saps all of their attention. With the iPad sitting right there with the cell phone.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's the iPad, the cell phone. TV blasting. You got the TV hanging off the wall. They doing, man. It's just everything touching everything. Hey, Daddy. I don't play that. I get to the dough.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I get to the door. I need my sugar. I tell my baby off the dribble, give me my sugar. Oh, I'm tripping on the whole house. She's no to run up on me. I need my big hug. I need my kiss on the cheek. Who you sit with us?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Who you sit with at lunch today? Yeah. Who did you sit with that lunch? Oh, I sat with, do, da, da, da, da. Okay, what did they eat at lunch? What did they eat? I want to know what they ate. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:11 I start diving instead of going, how was school? Did you learn anything today? No, no, no, no. What did you eat? What did your friends eat? That is smart because people told me that you're, kind of asking to get, like, bad responses from your kid if you ask very open, general questions,
Starting point is 00:09:25 like how was school? Right. But you ask specific things like, what were you eating, when you eat for lunch, what kids do you sit with? Right. You're going to get them to actually, like,
Starting point is 00:09:33 divulge some more interest in shit, because their brain is not tuned to, like, be able to explain the entirety of their day, you know? I see it puts a smile on her face, too. Like, I take her to school every day. I take her to school every day, and I pick her up. If I'm not OT,
Starting point is 00:09:48 every single day I'm taking her to school, And I'm picking her up. And I'm talking to her teacher every single day. So, you know, I'm kind of tapped in and seeing what's going on. But I like to let her tell me. I like to let her tell me. I like to let her brain, let it start squandering. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:10:03 Right. You know what I mean? Oh, okay, cool. You left your jacket at school. Okay, cool. Okay. What color was her jacket? Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:12 All I had a jacket on? I just start diving in. Because, all right, like, me, I think the blessing for me is that I was very early. on understanding the internet and social media. I feel like the average kid now, that's the default. All these kids are going to be good at social media. They're all going to understand the internet.
Starting point is 00:10:29 The thing that's going to make a kid stand out is the kid who has some street smarts to them who has enough human interaction to be able to actually like handle situations. You know what I'm saying? Like to be able to actually like, like the dude who actually learns how to really speak to people
Starting point is 00:10:46 is going to be the one who's able to make a girl like him when he gets older. You know, the kid who's just constantly online is not going to have that skill set. I typed in, they're going to look out on my big computer and I got to look at that and not even to just drag off. It was Christmas time. And I looked on the list and it was, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:03 of course, she's only six. So you know what? Let me try something different. But your kid being six, my kid's three. So you got three years of experience. The next three years of my life is going to be shit that you already navigated. Get her a bike.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Get her a scooter and get her skates. Make her rotate all of those At least twice a week She has to touch at least one of those Twice a week We ain't going for it And that TV off at 6 You sleep at 7
Starting point is 00:11:31 Right You sleep at 7 So you got from school When you get out From 2.35 You know what I mean To you getting home Doing home
Starting point is 00:11:39 Where you eating you washed up All that all the milletrains That's off Have baby get outside And touch that scooter Or that bike Or those roller skates You know what I mean
Starting point is 00:11:50 Let them feel outside. Let them feel what it's like. That was the first time I see my baby fall. Really? It was crazy. That's important, though. Yeah. And she dares.
Starting point is 00:11:59 She's like, ow, she ain't never felt it. She's a real girly girl. I said, baby, look, if you don't get up, I'm going to throw the bike in the trash. Throw the bike away. It's no need it because you're going to fall on the bike. You're going to fall. She got right back up,
Starting point is 00:12:12 and then really put a smile on her face. I'm like, man, I never thought that happened with how this world's set up. Kids don't ride bikes. I don't see kids riding bikes. I see them fresh as hell. They don't get their shoes dirty no more. It don't go like that.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Right. I don't got to buy shoes a lot. Yeah. It's like food, too. If you fucking fill your house with Pop-Tarts and cereal, your kid's never going to go for the broccoli. You got to limit the options so that the options, they feel like they have options,
Starting point is 00:12:38 but it's actually within a relatively limited sphere. That's important to me, too. But it's like, even with us really going out of our way to control what our kid eats, it's still like just they go to their friends' house one time. and they get some, you know, like even my kid just stayed with my sister for a couple days. Spoil. She's feeding her pancakes with whipped cream on them for dinner and shit.
Starting point is 00:13:01 My kid asked me for pancakes for dinner. Hell of times. I'm like, no, we don't need pancakes for dinner. Straight up. They're just letting her have whatever she wants. She's rolling with her. They're like, man, nah, this auntie, auntie waves. It's good.
Starting point is 00:13:12 So what's, I feel like when me and you get together, it's not as much an interview. It's a sit down to determine where we're at in life, as opposed to, you know, two, three years ago when we did the last one. What's the major changes in all black that you could identify over the past couple years? Learning how to say no. Learning how to say no.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Getting more tapped in with myself. Being more, you know, I've always loved myself at him. You know what's hadn't. Like, I've always been that type of person, but, like, getting more. tapped in with myself keeping it more real. You know what I mean? With myself getting around people that I can learn from.
Starting point is 00:13:57 For real, and I'm not just always teaching. You know what I'm? You know what I mean? Sometimes I need to get the game. Sometimes I need them reminders. You know what I mean? More of the time I need them reminders. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:09 I need that. You know, that's what's been up. Just loving more of the music instead of like just loving the feel of what's going on like you know I mean loving the music more I was at um you know I was with Empire for a real long time oh okay so that's not a thing anymore no I'm with create okay would create music group down here in LA it's a wonderful feeling but I'm also savers I'm also savers music group it's my big brother Jada up okay Oakland California that's why I got him with me you know I mean he's intro of my boy
Starting point is 00:14:46 how long y'all been working together year and a half but there's been big brough like years you know I mean like he was always no he's the he was always he always at his hands and stuff he was the artist before as well I mean with all he was with walker flaka he's boy he's with a lot of people I can name drop for a long time but he was as Oakland as an Oakland artist like he was this stable you know I mean like he was the he was the image that when we was coming up we we wanted to look like and we wanted to feel like he was doing the shit early 2013 and 14s, like, he was always doing it.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And I ended up getting a chance to get with him a year and a half, almost two years ago in New York. Mm-hmm. I stopped doing the music, Adam. This was after I seen you. I ended up going to New York. You're both from Oakland, but you didn't meet him until you were in New York randomly?
Starting point is 00:15:46 No, no, I met him. I've been met him years ago, but I'm talking about I locked in with him. We always got the, you know what I mean? We got the same circle, like, you know what I mean? Um, but I end up locking in with him in New York, for real. like the real way.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Staying with him, playing madden all night. Like, he caught me in a time when I was at my lowest. Like, I was in my lowest. I was depressed, you know what I mean? Like, I was going through a lot. What got you there? Just moving fast, following, like, relationships, like, that I never thought I'd never end. Like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Like, telling my, you know, for the first two times ever, like, and they didn't like that. You know what I mean? And me not understanding. and that's how I go. You tell them my... Depending on who it is, you know what I mean. Go sour. And I was in the f***-up headspace.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I was very... Like, you know, I'm not... I'm not the loud... You know, I'm not the jewelry, shiny, flexing $200,000. I've never been that. I know that. So, have you never seen me...
Starting point is 00:16:51 If I'm always flexing the money and then I stop flexing it, you know, of course, everybody would be like, what's going on? If I was never that type of person, And I always got a smile on my face. You'll never know what the fuck going on with me for real. So he caught on to that, though.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Man, something ain't right. Like, niggas love black. It's always with black. You know what I mean? Black always with, you know what I mean? I black by itself, you feel me? And he just, like, put me up under his wing, and then it was just over after that.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Like, he got me back right, shook me back. Got me up. Like, I wouldn't off no drugs. And nothing like that I wouldn't. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, nicking, no money and no d'clock. and no corny shit like that, you know what I mean? I was just going through a lot. I couldn't believe that, you know, the people around me
Starting point is 00:17:34 was just blowing up on me. Right. You know, niggas just left me. Oh, it would have been equivalent. I'm somewhere in Long Island City, Queens. I'm somewhere. I'm in Manhattan, and I'm in the Bronx at the Yankees game by myself and all type of shit.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Something ain't right. Put me up under his wing, and then he shook me back, taught me the business. taught me about my music. I ain't know about my music. I ain't know about streaming. I ain't know how many views I had. I ain't know how much money I had,
Starting point is 00:18:06 how much I was worth. I didn't know shit. I was just always the team player. Just because the Empire thing had kind of shielded you from that? No, hell no. That was amazing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Love them to death. Like, I love them to death. I love everything they did from the other. But you were letting them handle a lot of the business side? Yeah, like my team. I let my team have to, I wasn't really like, I didn't give a fuck. I'm getting bread.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Like, I'm getting bread. I'm not getting worked. I'm not getting worked. I'm not getting over. You know what I mean? None of that shit. I'm like, man, I'm cool. But when we separated, I looked up and I'm like, I don't, I don't even know how to post a video on my own video on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Like, I don't even streaming. Like, what the fuck is that? Like, Spotify, he sat down and showed me everything, walked me through everything. He beat it in my head. Like, nigga, you know. He couldn't believe that I didn't. know this like you know what I mean he was like huh all right little bro check this out let's go back to the drum boys you really really went he didn't even want to manage me at first it was just awesome
Starting point is 00:19:08 like you my little brother like I'm gonna get you right he really didn't care about it but I kept going like bro I don't know this bro he's looking at me really don't know this on shows and you packing shit I'm doing on with you like no so he dug in and went to go get to go get all my, went to go get all that. He did everything. He went to Empire. He went to everywhere to go get all my send me down, taught me the game. He even though I mean. He still teaching me the game to today.
Starting point is 00:19:41 He don't miss a day. Me and him talk every day. Every single day, every trip you see me anywhere you see me, bro with me. You feel me? Or I'm with him. So did you lose the passion for music and then leave Empire? Did you leave Empire kind of in the midst of you sort of losing the passion for a while there? Nah, it was when I was still empire and everything was going on. Everything was hitting me. I'm going, getting into it with people.
Starting point is 00:20:06 My people, they're not handling my business. They're not trying to answer the phone for me. I want nothing to do with me, for real. And, you know, I'm like, then I reach out, you know, and they're like, hey, we don't supposed to be running this. You're supposed to have somebody running this, running that. So he just picked up my, he went and picked up all my shit, bro. Like, my shoe wasn't just all the way scattered.
Starting point is 00:20:30 It was all over the place. Feel him? He just went to go get me right, man. He just cleaned up a lot of shit. He was just like, man, I know some people, bro. My little brother, Cato, he got the huge record. He had the huge record go off. He had that record.
Starting point is 00:20:46 He manages him, too. Okay. So he already, you know what I mean? He was in talks with creating new him. He knew hell of people. He in New York running a hell of plays. You know everybody in New York. Like, you snicking the people all over the place.
Starting point is 00:21:00 He just made a few calls. Asked me if that's what I really want to do. He sat around me for a minute, learn me. Let me see how serious this nigga is before I take him serious. The rest is on, bro. It's interesting because when we did the last interview, you were talking about how this documentary was about to come out about you. And the documentary comes out,
Starting point is 00:21:21 and it makes it, like, extremely clear the connection that you have to where you're from. the people and how much you care about the culture as well as like the the young kids and everything the documentary is fucking dope but then you're telling me that part of why you like fell out love with the music and and got into a weird headspace was like realizing that you had to say no and that you couldn't really like be helping everybody along the way which i feel like a huge percentage of rappers end up having that realization like so many times i've been watching an interview with the rapper or doing the interview and i just hear them say you know yeah this is about my people like I'm not trying to be the one with money I'm trying to help my whole team come up and
Starting point is 00:22:00 stuff and it's a noble goal but the reality is is that usually along the way those people figure out that you're probably going to have to be selfish to some degree man it was like I had looked up and I'm you right I'm looked up and I'm like I didn't really teach niggas how to fish I didn't know how to fish you know I mean I'm gonna teach niggas something I don't know you know you know I don't know how to teach niggas how to fish. I just know how to give. You know what I mean? I just know how to give.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I know how to do, you know what I mean? And the few people you do tell no to and they react. I mean, they can crush you. It crush you deep. And I mean, you never expecting this. And then there's other people who help and handle your business. It ain't even about you telling them no. It's just about them.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You know what I mean? They got this way. They want to go this way. And I'm going this way. But we was all going this way. You want to go this way. Not wrong with that. Still love you to death, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:23:00 But dead stock in the middle. Let go. You know what I mean? It was a gamble, bro. You just sit there. You got all this money. You got all this love, all this attention. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:11 But you're really empty. You're looking around. You're like, I don't even know how to book a show. I don't even like, what the fuck? Like, everybody from the outside looking there, and they don't know some like, no, bro, like God. Like this and this and that. there but I'm just I'm an honest nigga I'm not enough enough you know I mean you
Starting point is 00:23:30 you the man you do that you know I mean you you do that oh you run that I'm not I don't want to hear it I don't want to hear about all this now I knew where my money was going definitely mm-hmm of course you know but as far as the cooking this up and setting this up and doing I ain't know nothing about that and I couldn't tell you nothing but I couldn't tell you I couldn't tell you how to sign in to this shit man I never had Spotify on my phone you know And bro, came through and just, you know who you are? Like, you know what you got?
Starting point is 00:23:59 Like, he doctored me back. I don't know he was doing it, though. I really didn't know he was doing it. You know what I mean? But it was, it's a blessing, right? It shook me back. It took some months, shook me back. We went to create, got on the ball.
Starting point is 00:24:17 She just taught me how to hustle. He taught me how to hustle. Bray, you got to get back outside. You got to make them love you again. You took a brother. break, bro, you took a deep break. This ain't times you can take breaks. He taught me how to, he basically, like, put me back out there and was like, man, make,
Starting point is 00:24:34 you all make them love you again, do that shit you do, do that all that all them, all them, all them raging ass shows you got all the mosh pits and all that. No, no, no, no, get back out there and do that. But he prepped me, groomed me before I got out there. You know what I mean? I had to get my spunk back, you know? and it was over. I caught on pretty fast, though.
Starting point is 00:24:57 You know what I mean? Once I felt that love and seeing how far I can go with this shit, it was over with it. I just locked in, Savers University. I came Savors University, you know what I mean? Then I came and create. Because, like, when you first start, your career has a bunch of momentum
Starting point is 00:25:13 just off the fact that you're new, or, like, when you first start to, like, really get attention in the media and shit like that, and that is its own thing, and that works for some people, they're able to just kind of have a consistent trajectory going up from when they start making music, but the reality is, is that for a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:25:28 at some point, they kind of have to, like, once that sheen wears off of them, the whole idea of, like, oh, this is this young, new kid, and he's interesting, we want to know about him, we want to know who he doesn't like, and we want to know, we want to see his first interview. Once you've done a bunch of interviews, once you put out a bunch of records and stuff,
Starting point is 00:25:45 it really becomes the music, who you are as a person, how you can kind of, like, mobilize fans and shit, but it becomes a lot more difficult to entice people. A lot of artists' first record, if you really look at it outside of the fact that it's their first record, it's nothing special,
Starting point is 00:26:02 but if it's their introduction to the world, there's kind of like an inherent virality associated with that. That's a fake. That's a fake. And I got and felt that too. I'm like, damn, man, I've been running plays. I mean, I didn't did the Jimmy Kimmel's. I didn't went four tours.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I didn't came Jack Harlow. I tore it with Jack Harlow I tore it with Damasi Torre by myself I didn't did it And I was just like I got to a point Like when I'm in New York
Starting point is 00:26:31 Like man is this it Like For an hour I'm like Is this it Like Is this it And I remember the day
Starting point is 00:26:39 I went over there And played mad And with him That little brother Like FaceTime My little brother What fuck you doing
Starting point is 00:26:45 Like You open the dark I'm like Hell no I'm chilling Like I'm chilling You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:51 You know what I mean? I'm trying to give it off. He's like, Lord, bro, you're in the dark. Little brother, come play mad. Come play mad with me real quick. Like, let me, you play me weak. Niggas can't fuck with me. When I go get my homes and them niggas, I go get Travis Belsie. Like, he just, he gassed me up to get to the, oh, he knew where.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I'm going to tell Taylor Swift that you just did that to her man. Travis Belsie. Yeah, took me a second to catch on there. That's what he called him, man. So we get in that. He like, me, can play mad. And I didn't, you know, at the time, you know, you're down, you're in this, this space. You know, ain't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I'm just like, oh, all right, cool. I'm in the Airbnb in New York. I go over there, I catch Uber over there and I sit over there. And I would just tell you, like, go out of, like, leave and shit. Man, we played Maddie for about a month or two months until the sun came up. But while we're playing Madden, he, hey, you know about this, you know about here, or he'll turn it off. He'll show me young boy He'd show me
Starting point is 00:27:52 He'd show me this He'd like, bro, these niggas is hustling Look I love my little brother But you niggas want to drop one One project a year Like that ain't accumulating no money Like he taught me how to make the money
Starting point is 00:28:04 It's the same way Grito was teaching me It was the same way Draco was teaching me Like you feel me Drop drop drop drop drop drop drop drop drop drop drop Man drop that shit You feel me So you get this money coming in bro
Starting point is 00:28:15 You know you hustle He taught me how to hustle He like look bro look what the fuck So he'll show me what I got And he showed me like, bro, how the fuck is these artists this big? And they hustling like this. Got to get out there, bro, you're not big enough. And he always kept a real with him.
Starting point is 00:28:31 But you're not big enough to be moving like this and move like that. It wasn't that. Like, I needed to stone code truth. I needed to feel that. That's how I thrive. That's how I like to be coached. I need the butt-naker truth, man, give it to me raw. I need to know what's going on, feel me?
Starting point is 00:28:45 So I can really excel. I can get out there and get right. I mean, like, there's a lot of different things that you can be. potentially do with that momentum as an artist and stuff where a lot of artists let's be real a lot of artists their rapping is basically just like an accent upon their gangster persona slash street career we know a lot of people they got a couple music videos maybe even a couple million views on some of that shit but realistically that music video is damn near a fucking advertisement for them shipping packs
Starting point is 00:29:19 Few niggas came to my hand when you said that. Few niggas. But then on the other hand, you've flirted with having big-ass records and going on tour with these dudes that are gigantic and seeing what it is to have a real music career because you could very easily have kind of fell into the place of just doing your thing,
Starting point is 00:29:39 not caring about the marketing, not caring about the networking, et cetera. Or you could take a look at a Jack Harlow and think like, all right, maybe I'm not Jack Harlow, but I definitely got something. I could definitely. keep tweaking this shit and try to make the best version of
Starting point is 00:29:53 the records that I can. That's a fact. I looked at that. I looked at it, bro. I used to talk to his role manager all the time, and it don't quote me, but it took him about five or six years to get home. Oh, yeah. Even when I interviewed him
Starting point is 00:30:06 2018, 2019, you could almost kind of feel it at that point that he had like a nervousness that he didn't know this definitely was not a sure thing in his mind. He had been grinding for a long time. He had been sending Cole Bennett his shit for years at that point. And then finally, like when I interviewed him
Starting point is 00:30:23 was when he first got a video on Cole Bennett's shit and finally Cole had agreed, oh, I'll do this song because I fuck with this song. It was clear that he had sent him a bunch of songs over the years that Cole wasn't really fucking with. And so, like, you know, everybody might... I see YouTube videos where people talk about Jack Carlin like he's an overnight.
Starting point is 00:30:40 One hit one to their sensation. No. They don't see the ground. Man, I see the shit firsthand. Once it pays off, they don't see it. And I watched it firsthand. I went on 20-some dates with him. him and Drewski.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Juski too funny. He was bringing the year. He was bringing the y'was bringing niggas out. Like, he was bringing niggas out every fucking night. Every night, bro. I didn't really, I didn't really put stamp to, stamp to, stamp to respect on him until we went to Louisville. We went to Louisville.
Starting point is 00:31:05 And I seen, and he did them, uh, hid them home shows two days back to back. I said, oh, they better stop playing with Disney. They got to stop playing with him. He's ready to go. As soon as he got off tour, he dropped, what's happening with, uh, with the baby or something. He comes, bam, then he comes, bam, then he comes, bam.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I'm talking to him. I'm like, boy, it's happening. I'm like, it's happening. He's like, it's happening. He's like, it's happening. I'm like, oh, yeah, it's up. Yeah. It's up.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I locked him and, him and G. Oh, yeah. He was in the strip club, like, 3 o'clock in the morning. Locked him. Them niggas went up. Moana. Jules for him. I'm like, oh, yeah, you won't.
Starting point is 00:31:44 After that, smoothsail. He went all the way to fuck up. Now I look at Jack. I'm like, damn, man, that's crazy. Like, if he would have stopped after tour, you know, I mean, he would have stopped at that. I looked at that. Like, I think about a lot of this shit. Like, damn, man, I'd be feeling like I was, oh, this was my peak.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Or this was that, like, no, hell, no, I'm fondly comfortable. So what level could you kind of see yourself get into, or when you make music, what's, like, the upper echelon outcome from that? And it's really, Adam, there's really no limit with me, bro. really no limit I'm shooting for the motherfucking stars I ain't lying with you I'm shooting for the stars man
Starting point is 00:32:26 I just want to get comfortable I want to get busy and really really score with this shit out but I had to learn the business side to it too like I was just throwing shit at the wall hoping it stick now I'm learning the business
Starting point is 00:32:40 I'm getting saucy so now I know like how I really want to come at this shit you know what I mean like I didn't feel I can say I didn't feel all all corners of this shit for real. I didn't feel. I'm talking about being on the biggest stage, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 00:32:53 doing the, and then doing the crazy festivals and then doing the 250-300-cap rooms, you know what I mean, or being the fucking with the celebrities. And I mean, I didn't feel all that of the artists, you know what I mean? But I'm just like, damn, how I want to shape mine now. And I feel like that's what I'm on. My new project is called Slow Motion Better Than No Motion. It actually dropped two days. It dropped February 2nd. Right. Like half the songs are on a... iTunes right now, not half, maybe a third. Yeah, probably five of them.
Starting point is 00:33:24 We have five of my five videos. I slow motion better than no motion. I want to get there. I look at my niggas spitter all the time. I like that run. Like, you know what I mean? I start looking like, man, that run is so fucking fire. Look at baby face Ray.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I'm like, that run is so fire. You know what I mean? And I love with V's doing until I look at his run. I'm like, man, that run is fire too. And then I sit there. I sit back and I'd be like my favorite. Every run ever is the Wigska leaf run. Really?
Starting point is 00:33:54 In terms of just the career that he built for himself. How he came. He had the whole fucking world in the frenzy, like, cargo shorts, t-shirt, glad, you know what, I mean, snapbacks, like, like, and it's not just what he, what that was. It was just how he made the world feel, like, you know what I mean? And I felt like I did that more with the whole Trinity run, like, mixing the Patron with the Hennessy, being the Rocks, or everybody being on that type of time, you know, raising upside down, throwing the big parties
Starting point is 00:34:25 and being an all-black, you know what I mean, being that all-black person. You know what I mean? I feel like this one, and I look at, okay, what chapter? How I want to come now? How I want to be on this shit. So I feel like I'm transitioning into it.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Like, I'm ready to fucking go, though. I don't feel like I got to do hell of shit. You know, I mean, just to get on, man, I know the love. I feel the love already. Now I'm comfortable. You know what I mean? I want to do it my way. I want to do it the savers way.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Yeah. Ready to go up. Wherever it takes me this time, I want to run it. So what's Savers? That's the movement that you already had going when you started working with him? Yeah, I got a weed strand with rents. Okay. Sabers.
Starting point is 00:35:08 So I made it into a label. Like he said, I got Cato under that label too, Kato. And then Black. We got Black over there. And, yep, that's the Savers. That's what we're pushing Sabers University. For sure. Are you the only one who tapped them with Walker Falka for that feature on the new tape?
Starting point is 00:35:24 For sure. That's a big bro. We, Wockers, been in the hood. What deal was that, bro? We, uh, came hot now. 2013 or something? Waka, been coming to West Oakland. Ben fucking with him, like, Wocker, man, Walker did so much saucy shit.
Starting point is 00:35:45 He didn't show me, so much saucy shit. No, that was dope, yeah. He didn't show me so much raw-ass shit. I didn't watch Waka his run. It's amazing. Bro. Just to see him and his kid, I see his run.
Starting point is 00:35:59 And I fucking love his run. I hate that. I left that out. I say this all fucking all day. Like, I want to be like, bro, I want to run that play. Like, bro, he do the colleges. He do two colleges or a college a week.
Starting point is 00:36:11 You know what I mean? You go to them colleges, brother. He rage with him, bro. He fucking rage. That's interesting. It's amazing. Who is that Texas University, Doug? Last time I talked to Walker Farahaw.
Starting point is 00:36:26 He gave me an inspirational NFT speech. He told me you ain't even going to do interviews anymore once you get into this NFT shit. Nicar is smart. That's a little bit. I guess he made a shitload of money at one point regardless.
Starting point is 00:36:43 He does. These niggas is like how you and how you and Desto moving? Y'all just throw It's like that, but he's like, that's his brother.
Starting point is 00:36:57 That's his big brother. Like, that's his big brother. Like, call that nigga all day. Like, you know, they talk all the time. He always dropping gyms. Like, when he told me I was saucy, I lost it. Like, what? Even though I know, you know, he tapped in with him, that's his boy,
Starting point is 00:37:12 but when he told me I was saucy, I was juice. Like, I was juice. I couldn't wait to run with him on the track, man. It was amazing, bro. Hell of fun. Hell of fun with that, nigga, bro. He always giving me hell a game. For sure.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Stupid game. But did you tap in with Walker in real life to do that? Or was that through email, the song? The song? Yeah. No, no, no. It was through the email. He sent it through the email.
Starting point is 00:37:36 I was already with him. Like I said, we was up in Houston. Me and him drove down. We were in Houston. We drove down to Austin to go fuck with him. We always plays. He always with him, but we locked in. He flew down out here.
Starting point is 00:37:52 We shot the video out here. What's your spirit? spiritual connection to Houston. You just talk about it, like, it's like, you got a real foundation there. Here you go. What are you talking about? I love Houston.

Starting point is 00:38:38 Could you see yourself moving there? Hell yeah. I want to go to, I want to live to Sugarland. I live in Katie. Five, bro. Like. You don't fuck with Houston? I fuck with it.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I can't, like, it's kind of depressing to have. so much family in LA now. It's like I'm never gonna be able to leave. But I see Joe Rogan doing it and all these fucking people. And I'm like, damn, way less than taxes, really like big open spaces. You can buy a house with a fucking shitload of land. You don't even go there just to party.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Like, you don't go there just to go? It's been a few years. But I'm gonna go back. The last time you went, what you do? Dallas 2019, Juice World Show. Mo three got arrested outside of it. Houston, I haven't been to. I did a maxo cream tour in 2018.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I feel like I might not have been to Houston since then. When you land, we're taking you to area 29. Is that a strip club or? Eat breakfast and that motherfucker, I don't. Really? It's a movie. I hate eating breakfast or any kind of food in the strip club, though, because the lights are always real low and you can't see the food.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I feel like that kind of kills. No, this motherfucker's saucy. Okay. You're going to like Area 29. You're going to like it. Okay, as long as we're talking geography. We hear a lot about how Northern California all fucked up. Obviously, an emphasis on San Francisco and shit.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Do you feel it out there? Like with the crime being out of control and the bippin and the tourists getting robbed left and right and the open air fentanyl markets and the prostitution being legalized? I hear all this crazy shit. Me and bro, tell them how you feel about it, bro. We really just had this. How you feel about it, bro? How you feel about it?
Starting point is 00:40:19 Go ahead. It's, man, Keith Lee came out there, man. They ran him out of town. Oh, man. Keith Lee came out there, man. I love Keith Lee. Guap Dad was mad as fuck. Guwop, my nigger.

Starting point is 00:40:55 hop in Uber's, go hop in a rental. I'm moving around, bro, like, it's just fucked up, though. It's fucked up. It's a lot going on,
Starting point is 00:41:02 but it's fucked up everywhere, bro. I'm just... Oh, yeah, I said the same thing by L.A. I just know how to move,
Starting point is 00:41:07 you know what I mean? I know how to move around. I know how to do shit, but it's dangerous. It's dangerous than a motherfucker. I'll tell you that. L.A. Dangerous, too,
Starting point is 00:41:16 though. But the Bay, it's dangerous. You, I'll tell you right now, don't leave a car rolling, leave the windows down, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 00:41:27 and lock in with the right people. Don't land at the airport, get a rental, try to go to the dispensary, and all that. You're not going to make it to the hotel. Yeah. All your shit is going to be gone.
Starting point is 00:41:42 It's just not. And nobody's going to feel bad for you because when you tell us, it's like, what? That's kind of how it goes. Adam, you tell them that you got bipped. They're going to throw a parade.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Oh, my God, we bipped out of them. I told that nigga don't come out here. And they're going to, they deserve that glory. Because if I leave my fucking backpack with my computer in it in the car, in the Bay Area. Man, don't leave a sock. You're a sucker. Don't leave a sock right there. Don't leave no charges right there, nothing, but.
Starting point is 00:42:13 FYBJ Maine left his car with, like, hell of backpacks with cameras and all kinds of shit. Right here. And I'm like, listen, we may not have the bipping resume that they got up north. They're bipping out here too, though. Exactly. I mean, it's not a unique technology. Yeah, straight up north. They're doing it.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And this is a fucking touristy-ass area in comparison to most to L.A. So this is prime time right here. You don't think that there's people that wake up every day and just walk around trying to find something to take out here? It's crazy, bro. I'm talking about you can. They're hitting niggas at the light. Oh, man. You at the light.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Try through. They're hitting you. They don't give a fuck. Some of the videos. It's bad in the world right now. It's the world, man. It's bad. Like, money low.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Bread low, Adam. People ain't got it. I was talking to brother about it. We talk all the time. The money low, bro. People are hungry. They're desperate. They're not only hungry.
Starting point is 00:43:10 They're desperate. Feel me? All that Jay, niggas had all that this and this and all. They gave it back. He gave it back. You're trying to tell me that the artist you didn't seen, they still got the AJ. These niggas coming in here, acting like they tuck the shit,
Starting point is 00:43:28 that Jay gone. The first time I ever went to the Bay Area was in 2008, and this was after having lived in New York City for many years. At that point, New York City is one of the strictest cities in America in terms of, you know, undercovers will pop out on you for some shit that you had no idea there was a single person around. Like, you know, you, it's just like the easiest place to get caught up. Law and order, pretty strong in New York.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Not to say that there aren't people getting shot all the fucking time. Scariest place to have a blick in America, et cetera. But that first time I went to San Francisco, I remember just being like, oh, fuck, like, this is a pretty fucking lawless place out here. Everybody I was staying with had a pound under the dead. Everybody smoking, like, crazy in public. Homies selling weed in the park, not a care in the world. like no cops ain't gonna do shit etc but now like even channel 5 Andrew Callahan has a
Starting point is 00:44:24 fucking super viral video from San Francisco a couple weeks ago months ago yeah that just really like paints the picture how bad the Fent has gotten out there how bad the crime has gotten and it's so sad it's wild it's so sad bro you ride you ride through the tenderloins you ride through downtown SF bro you'll see about eight people you know you get up close on them they're standing up like this. Standing on, like, everybody's standing up, everybody's zombieed out.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Zombie land. Scary, bro. You've got to go, got to pass through that motherfucker when you're coming from the airport, so you've got to see it. You got to see it. They're not playing, man, that shit. That shit.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Ridgulous, bro. But as a dude who, you know, has done some business on the blade in his day, how does this all strike you? Is it, you know, fucking shit up? or is it kind of good for the people who are trying to make some money out there? I stay away from that shit.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I know you do now, but. It's just me. Like, I stay, you know, people got to get it out of they live. There's always restrictions with anything you're doing, with any crime you're doing, or anything illegal that you're doing, you know what I mean? Like, but I just see them.
Starting point is 00:45:37 They got fig more looked than anywhere. Fig is like a show. They have, they got Instagrams dedicated to the black. to Figaroa and stuff. Like, I'd just be looking now. Like, wow, I'm out of touch. Like, bro, I'll be, I'm out of touch. They can laugh at me all y'all want.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I'm out of touch, bro. People pull up to Fig and take photos that look like they should be in fucking Cosmo or Vogue of these chicks walking down the street. It's like such high-quality photos. Man, it looks like, it looks great. I'm like, sheesh. Like, it don't even, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:12 You would never think crime is there. You never think nothing is going on. But you got, it's so much. It's so much underage stuff from exploiting going on. Like, brought me, stay no thank you. Mr. No, thank you. I've had some people tell me that's the only shit the cops will really interfere with out there.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Is what? With the underage shit. Oh, man. But that, like, girls in general, you want to go sell pussy there? Like, you're never going to have a cop tell you to stop. My boy was telling me that, like, they let them do their thing. But I just, my, all that shit, man, I don't, you tell me, oh, it's love, it's green.
Starting point is 00:46:46 I don't even got the tools to go dumb no more I mean and be I don't even got it like bro I'm so I'm so in dad mode Adam bro I'm so dad up I'm turn I'm in dad mode I'm that's where my adrenaline when my rush at you feel me like that I'm trying to play with the music and I'm not twisting this on you either
Starting point is 00:47:06 like I want you to know for you I believe you yeah I want you to know where I'm in dad mode that shit gotta get old I'm playing what listen um you see me I'm in other states trying to win. I'm on all 10 trying to win. Outside posing to be chosen. Trying to win.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I love the music a lot, bro. I love the feedback. I get the responses. How everybody treat me. I never hear that you fell lost. I never hear the things. It's like every time I try that, like, damn, man, that nigga doing it again.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Never been the type to care about views. I'm not that type of person. On the hustle side, on the grind side. I would drop five videos to this person. persons one or two and we equal up and have the same amount. If you could go back in time to when you first popped off in 2017, 2018, whatever that was, how would you handle your career differently? What would you have done that you didn't have the foresight to necessarily be thinking about at that time?
Starting point is 00:48:03 I wouldn't, I would rather take, I would rather take the fade that my people was asking for when they was trying to teach me the game. and I didn't want to learn it like no I don't want to learn I don't care I don't care I care if I want to know that I don't take back nothing everything was amazing all of you know what I mean the ruins I didn't have all that was amazing but the business side if I would have learned the business side all them dope ass rooms and all them you know what I mean all them geniuses I was in the rooms I was in the rooms I set outside them doors and party and chilled and waited until they got done and you know what I mean if I would have said in those rooms I feel like I wish I could I mean if I was able to go back I go sit up in the rooms. I will have someone force me or I will force myself to sit in in the rooms and really learn. And I mean more about the business side to the music besides the fun side and the winds and all that. But you're not seeing no no ails. You're not lacking in no pockets straight. You know what I mean? Doing anything you want every single day, that type of shit is better. Yeah, because when you first get into the music business, there's just so much to
Starting point is 00:49:13 learn that it's literally like it's like going to college except you're not like focused on learning you're just kind of slowly picking shit up but it literally is going to take you like many many years for most people i remember even like when i first got into it trying to read a book like everything you need to know about the music industry and i picked up some good info from it but the average person you know you just kind of learn by trial of error because it's just not it's not easy to pick up on everything that's going on that's fact it's like the person that it's like the the person that's not Like the artist, they will pick up that book. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:46 You know what I mean? The artist, if he's an honorary frat boy, what the fuck he looked like reading that? But he's a nigga. You're famous for not exactly being the kind of guy who sits around reading books. You're famous for being a partying and a rapper. I'm a good time. Yeah, I'm the fucking frat boy.
Starting point is 00:50:02 It's love. It's love with everybody. Yes. It ain't no fights over here. Ain't nobody arguing and bickering. It's enough for everybody. I don't need you. peace up with me on nothing.
Starting point is 00:50:15 I don't, you got 10, you got 10, nah, just come. Bring yourself. I got everything you need. That's what I'm known for. I'm knowing for you. You come to my parties, you're going to leave. You're not going to come with nothing.
Starting point is 00:50:26 You're going to leave with something. Every time. So, you know what I mean? I don't want to be the frat. I mean, I love being a frat boy and the rager, but it's third quarter, you know what I mean? The year is in the. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:50:39 And now it's time to buckle down, knock the grades out, you know? Now I've got to limit it down to partying on Sunday and Monday Instead of partying Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. See, I would probably do Friday, Saturday if I had to pick. See, real rages, real rages, they rage on the weekdays. Really? You know this.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Well, I guess if your schedule's open enough, yeah. But I'll probably want to party at the same days that everybody else is partying. Fridays, I let all the rookies get that out. That's Friday. That's what Ricky's party. Ricky's party on Fridays. I drank enough that I got hung over two times already this year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:12 That's a lot for me. In the first month of the year. Yeah. That's too much. I was just at my show. I had a little hornitos. Like cheap alcohol, I'm raised and cheap alcohol. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:51:22 I went to 42. Keep that for the niggas in the stands. I'm getting out here with the people. Yeah. You know, I'm known for that. I like to be with the people. I, uh, the most recent time I got fucking wasted too. Is that the strip club?
Starting point is 00:51:34 Me and my girl got a strip club hosting booking for the first time ever. Oh yeah, how'd that go? I mean, it was great, but I was having too much fun. I got fucking drunk. And then it's just like, you know, I'm in pain the whole next day. And I'm not used to that because I haven't really, like, partied like that in a while. And I'm just thinking like, all right, if you're going to keep doing this whole show-booking thing
Starting point is 00:51:51 or hosting thing. You got to pace. You got to pace yourself. Like, you got to pay yourself. Even if it's fake shots. Yeah. Even if you turn it all the way over, like, you just keep playing like this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:52:04 Or you get your little buggy on or something like that. Why you just host get loaded after. You all I mean? Get loaded after. If you get loaded in that motherfucker, it's going to be hard. Yeah. I mean, I'm the kind of person where it's like, people be handing me shots, take a couple shots, and then it starts wearing off,
Starting point is 00:52:19 and then I start, like, really scouting for, like, anything left in these bottles. I got to get me a mixed drink. I'm going to do anything at this point. You start drinking anything after that other. I'll drink anything but vodka. Really? Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Yeah, vodka is old school. I'll go TT, I'll go cognate. Mix it. Definitely. There's been a whole conversation. in L.A., and I wonder I feel like it extends to the rest of California as well, about
Starting point is 00:52:46 does the sound of L.A. rap transfer to the rest of the country? Is L.A. just like, you know, permanently cold when it comes to the popularity of the artists and shit? Like, how do you feel about that? And is that ever a concern when you're recording? Like,
Starting point is 00:53:02 damn, maybe my sound is not necessarily a sound that's going to easily translate to the rest of the world. I feel like I think like that like, oh, will my sound translate to the world when I hear other music
Starting point is 00:53:17 when I hear other music and the music that I listen to all the time like it doesn't really sound like that I don't really feel like that when I'm recording because the music is my diary know what I mean? The music is my diary
Starting point is 00:53:28 and I'm having fun like, you know and I want to get this out I fucking love L.A. music I love L.A. culture. People tell me I listen to it too much. Really? I fucking love it.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I love it. Like, I love it. We cousins. We're down the street, you know what I mean? And they do get places. Like, you know what I mean? They like to say L.A. music is cold, this and this and that. But I listen to a lot of fucking music in a lot of places.
Starting point is 00:53:52 And you niggas took that from them niggas. You know what I mean? Also, the gang culture. Like, if y'all want to say, oh, L.A. cold with the music, or them niggas ain't this and this now. Y'all didn't take these niggas cold. Y'all took that and brought that somewhere else, too. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:08 You know what I mean? I'm not saying not everywhere it does it but like y'all took something from them y'all took something from them so how them niggas code how are they cold how are their music not hidden right you forgot about the o3 gritos you forgot about the wali the senseis you forgot about the don't butcher me on this like you forgot about the i.e. the r3 the chili men you forgot about like everybody bro you got a got forgot about the blue bus cland them niggas in a fucking building how are they not lit you know what i mean i can go for days I'm gonna make of a million people like everybody.
Starting point is 00:54:41 You know what I mean? I listen to a lot of them niggas. Everybody. I'm talking about nobody go left. Yeah. Everybody listen to them niggas. We forgot about the O.GIS. We got about the phoenixes.
Starting point is 00:54:52 We hear about it because this being an L.A. base platform, we will totally end up talking about L.A. rappers, like they fucking matter. And then we get reminded by a lot of people in the comments. It would be like, we don't want to hear about this shit. This shit don't matter in New York. It don't matter in Atlanta. We don't listen to this shit. And I beat places.
Starting point is 00:55:10 And I'm not saying that it does. It don't. It don't like, they don't really give niggas. They flowers like that. Like, I can say that. I start getting on my bias shit, but I speak the truth. They don't really, you know, really do, really get niggas like that. They might do it on the low.
Starting point is 00:55:25 They might pull up, you know what I mean, need some love. And then they want to act like they fuck with niggas and shit like that. But it's other people that do, you know what I mean? But I don't know. I don't know. It's that. The South, you know, They're going to always have a grip on the music, on hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:55:45 The East Coast, they're going to have a grip. You got the Midwest. You got the Detroit, niggins. You feel me? They got their fingers. They got their palms. And now they, you feel me? They're going to lean in.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Them niggas on fire. But, I mean, really? America's a giant fucking country. And there are just such regional scenes. The Bronx drill shit is huge. There's a million fucking dudes from the Bronx. Not a million. but there's like dozens of dudes from the Bronx
Starting point is 00:56:10 who can get millions of views on a song and then meanwhile you take that shit and you play it in Stockton they have no fucking clue what that is and in the Bronx they never heard at EBK Jabbo even though that shit is fucking huge out here and honestly even a lot of people in LA
Starting point is 00:56:26 don't know about somebody like Jaybo even though he might be doing the most numbers of like an independent artist in California if I'm not mistaken crazy like it's crazy that is that like in the Bronx I mean yeah just In New York, the drill artist, like, it's so many people out there, they don't got to leave New York. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:56:44 Like, and to the people that tapped in with New York, they drop, you know what I mean? They hop on, too. They're going fucking insane. And it's crazy that you said that. Like, it's people who don't know a J-Bo, but J-bo is him. He's him to niggas. Like, you know what I mean? He's him.
Starting point is 00:57:00 We go to Northern California. They ask who the higher, they're going to bring up. They're going to bring him up for sure. But it's people I've been out here, and they're like, I don't know who. who this is I'm sitting there like me sure like you say the world's huge but that niggas wave like if you listen to this and this how the fuck you don't know who jaybo is like you know but you do go to the east coast you go to the stop there be like who the fuck is that right and that's i feel like i'm in a unique position or even somebody like you where we actually know about all
Starting point is 00:57:28 that shit because realistically these cities are 3,000 miles apart like it's very understandable that one place does not relate to the sound that is the sound of another place that far away, you know, the same way that average American has not really tuned into a whole lot of English hip-hop. Yeah. Like when the accent's different and the slang is different, it's hard for them to relate to it. That's like UK drill. Yeah. The UK drill and the New York drill.
Starting point is 00:57:56 But then they'll say, oh, the New York rappers took our beats and turned them up in New York. Right. Like, yeah, they did. Right. Sorry. You have a song with Dusty Locane? You have a song Dusty Locane? Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:07 It's called burpees. I was in fucking in Brooklyn. When's the last time you did a set of burpees? Bro, it's bad right now. Adam, it's fucking bad. I feel it. It's bad. I told you I'm dad body.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Dad mode, you know, I'm about to knock this shit off me, though. But I'm in dad mode. I've been comfortable. I've been happy as fuck. Like, you know what I mean? So now I'm finding the balance of putting everything with it. Still being the artist, you know what I mean? still being a presentable I still got that shit how'd you run into Dusty though
Starting point is 00:58:41 I never met him with Dusty I met Dusty I met with to Empire uh we used to Empire he was he was recording over here up in this room I was up in this room kept bumping into bro you know me and then it was like it's like so you you're nice to meet you dusty I'm like nigga your name ain't Dusty for real he like your word slew huh he laughed like like me whatever Go like this. I'm like, what that say? He's like, yo,
Starting point is 00:59:14 you dead ass. I'm like, I'm like, nigga, my name, Dusty, nigga. They call me Dusty. Like, I'm like, you're the East Coast Dusty. I'm the West Coast Dusty. Like, we gotta do something. Matter of fact, I'm working on something
Starting point is 00:59:26 right then and there. Hopped in, he's like, yo, I love that West Coast shit. I love it. Like, I fucking love it. Like, I ain't had hopped on the West Coast beat. And he did it. It took him like, It took him like an hour and a half, you feel
Starting point is 00:59:39 probably two hours to do it because the beat was so fast for him. Like the cadence and all that. He's like, man, I want to try it. I want to try it in the studio with all these young niggas and niggas strapped up. The niggas turned. Like young niggas, they turned to fuck up.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Me and I'm just sitting there like, the fuck like this nigga's crazy. Lord niggas turn. He got some boys with him. He got demons. And he ended up finishing it. We like, oh, this goes crazy. Ah, came, drop.
Starting point is 01:00:07 it. Went to the hood. Went to the hood. Went to the hood. Went to Canarsie and knocked it out. Went to Canarsie and knocked it out. Bro, we're on this block. 11 p.m.
Starting point is 01:00:19 He got 100 people out there. 11 p.m. He got 100 people out there. I'm talking about the real community. Wow. The store, all the Aki's, everybody, they're out there. And he got love. He loved that, dude.
Starting point is 01:00:31 That's what I love. They love, bro, for sure. Good to hear. Okay. So you've managed to, like, for the most part, from my perspective, basically stay out of like messy shit when it comes to what's going on, the media and everything.
Starting point is 01:00:46 You know, for the most part, I haven't really heard your name wrapped up in too much tomfoolery. Yeah. So I was extra surprised when I started seeing your name being thrown around with a fat boy's drama. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Just didn't really picture all black being in that conversation. It got it to me. by surprise too. Like, it kind of fucked me up too. Right. Like, I fuck with dude though.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Like, I like dude. Right. I'm keeping it up bad. Like, you ever, have you ever heard me respond? No. To anything? No.

Starting point is 01:01:38 Like, they know all and know the same people. You know what I mean? So it was easy to get everything, like, you know, fix quick. You know what I mean? Like, I love, I love Tiana. Love her. That's my, that's my dog. Like, we cool.

Hell no, like, man, we on some cool shit. You know, we're West Coast niggas. You know, you know it. We're West Coast niggas. We ain't in all that.
Starting point is 01:02:09 We ain't arguing. We ain't fighting over no girl, no nothing. You feel, me? Everything in love with me. Like, we ain't doing that. So when the media came and all the, you respond to all that, we're sitting around like, I don't know what you want me to say. Like, you know, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 01:02:27 We have a conversation. You know, we have a conversation. We could do that. We're men, you feel me? I'm more of love, bro. Our family. I don't play like that. So this was a girl that you were.
Starting point is 01:02:36 spending time with unrelated to the fact that she had a pass with Fat Boy? I didn't know at first. I didn't even know. I wasn't none of that. I didn't know that. Then when I got hip, it was soon as I got hip, you know what I mean? It was, hey, little bro, this is blah, blah, this is the, okay, cool. Oh, oh, hell no, back up.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Get on the phone. No, him, him, twist, and get on the phone. We handle it. You remember we get shit understood. But when it come down to the whole media and the running and doing, y'all got that. Y'all got that. You feel what I don't got that one. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:03:14 Niggas got real life going on. I got real life going on. I tell you all that time, man, daddy mode, nigga. Real life going on. Real shit happening. You feel what I'm going to? I want my pockets up. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:03:37 Bears play you out. Like, man, what? If I wanted to do that, I could have rent a hundred more plays. There's so many niggins' bitches I could have played that I could have played with. Let's really talk about I could have, I could have did it all type of ways, all type of niggas. So while niggas laughing and laughing at bruh. Trying to make him feels. You know, that's the net, though.
Starting point is 01:03:56 You know what I mean? Like, people trying to make you feels in type of way and all that. I'm not for that. Is that hard to be in the headlines or to have, you know, different instruments? pages posting shit and your names in it, and you just kind of kept quiet and stayed out of it. Yeah. That just comes natural to you.
Starting point is 01:04:14 No, like shit, you know, it's things be, you know, shit be shit. I just know the net. Like, I know how I go. I watch it. I see this shit. Like, I know when they get off the internet. You feel me? I know when they get off the internet, bro.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I'm really trying to scope for real. I know when they get off the net. I know when that shit's not for me. I know what could affect my team. Like, you know what I mean? I got stand-up niggas around me. bro, why am I doing that? I indulging in that, man.
Starting point is 01:04:39 I don't want that man. Hurting, all you know what I mean? Hurting for his kids and all. I'm a father of my damn self, you feel me? I'm not for that. Straight up, we bullying, niggas bullying. Y'all want to bully him and let it, man, listen, I don't clear up. None of that shit.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Y'all handle that. Y'all keep playing with that and doing everybody want to play and do all that. We ain't doing that. But what goes through your head when you see him tussling with her in the nail salon? I was just like, that's them. And it's being posted as like, you're basically the reason for this happening. I'm like, that's them.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Which I don't know if that's true or not. I'm like, that's them. They got things. They got to fix. Like, you know what I mean? Handle, that's their relationship. That's how they're fucking with it. Like, I'm all black.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I'm dusty. Like, you know, man, my big brother get on the phone call me, we ain't playing. Like, he don't even got to remind me or that type of shit. You know how we're moving, but I really value everything this nigga tell me.

Starting point is 01:05:52 Like, we're from Oakland. Like, we come from real pimps and real players, like, and all type of shit. Like, you feel me? But we're gentlemen before everything, bro, like, we ain't known that. You feel me? We ain't done that. And niggas ain't ducking no wreck either. Like, you know that.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Niggas ain't ducking nothing. Niggas not scared of nothing. And niggins ain't mushing, pushing, nothing. Y'all keep doing that. When niggas want to hollas, I'm right here, grown man, sit down, take you out to eat. Let's holler. I take you out to eat, niggas sit down. We can do it right.
Starting point is 01:06:24 I'm not that person. I'm not for the bullying. I don't get fuck with nobody talking about. Can't nobody make me post nothing. Can't nobody make me say shit? Straight up. Adam, you know me. You've been knowing me for so many years, bro.
Starting point is 01:06:36 A lot of the biggest, most murderous beefs in hip-hop. history have stemmed from somebody fucking somebody else's girl and them not being able to handle it like adults yeah let's be real yeah they do and and and but where i come from it ain't that we don't do that we ain't beefing over no bitch we're not beefing over no money you feel me we beefing no if anything came down to us of respect and this what he's he is still this i'm 31 and he's still instilling this in my he reminded me continuously bro hell no this where you want where you want to go he asked where you want to go. So why are we worried about that?
Starting point is 01:07:11 What that mean? Like, man, what? We're trying to get this bread. Fuck all that, man. What's that going to do? With me responding back and doing all that going to do, niggins ain't make no money off that. Adam, come on, you've been doing this shit.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Who made money off that? It's a good way, like that moment right there would have been a good moment for you to get yourself on baller alert. Of course. Get yourself on the shade room. Of course. You could have done a bunch of viral shit to get your face out. I respect you not taking the bait or seizing the opportunity
Starting point is 01:07:41 because I've seen super gangster-ass dudes not be able to resist using that type of shit. And then what they end up looking like, they end up looking crazy as fuck what they ass up in the air. These niggas be going for all that. I'm not going for all that. I wouldn't raise on that. I wasn't raised on that. I'm not going for the Oki. I ain't no sucker.

But I wouldn't raise like that. like that, the niggas around me ain't going for that at all, period. And I think even the best version of you yelling into the camera doesn't really, like, make the Spotify streams go up at this point.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Maybe, like, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, you could, like, be in, like, a weird little beef and people would actually kind of listen to you. And then you drop a song right after. Yeah. Like, man, hell, no, man, that was already in song. We got to move the project up. Man, we've been, we've been had that event.

And all of a sudden, one of these crazy white boys mentions something about spending time with one of your baby mommas. Yeah. When I seen that video, I looked at your face. He was like, I really don't want it. I was like, I know he really don't. I know.

I get it for the clicks you know want to come up. But that's here or there. That type of shit, do you think you knocked off of me?
