Starting point is 00:03:34 First day out, fly whip, out the dealer, you know, like, like, I'm doing shit that I never thought I could do, like, two years ago. You know? Now I'm like, I ain't got to worry about shit, bro. I didn't even want to come to the interview, bro. I wanted to chill at the house, bro. Like, I tell her, what's the point of having this big-ass house if I can't even be in it, bro, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Okay, but wait, are you motivated to be in the crib, or do you want to be outside doing or are you perfectly happy to just be low-key? I'm happy being low-key now. Right.

Starting point is 00:10:30 It felt weird because when you go in, you got a type of life, right, before you go in. And then my dad told me, bro, like, I was in that holding tank and I called him like, like, hey, like, I got locked up.

Like, you start off doing it to feel something, and then as time goes by, it just becomes such a habitual party. Yeah, when I be high, bro, I'm like, man, everything, bro.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Everything, you know what I'm saying? I don't see my bracelet came out. You think, like, the drugs in a way it helps you, like, put off growing up? Yeah. Because it makes you not want to deal with all the things that you should be dealing with as a man. Like, yeah. Like, not shit.

So, like, his baby was just born, too.

Starting point is 00:28:27 I gotta set the right example for them now You know I'm almost 30 You know But the type of shit that you thought was normal When you were 18 or 16 or whatever Is probably the type of shit that You don't want
Starting point is 00:28:43 your young homies to have to go through that you live through, right? Well, it's like seeing my son grow up too because I see my little son, like, reminds me of me. That little kid looked just like me when I was a kid, a little fat boy, you know? Except the little motherfucker fly as fuck, you know?
Starting point is 00:28:59 Like, he's my little nigger. So it's like, I gotta put out a right example for him, you feel? me, like, that's why I'm, like, learning how to, like, I would disrespect his mama, a lot you feel me so I'll be trying to like now I'll be trying to like kick back like you know what like before I make that call to her I'm gonna just kick back before I'm ready for that you
Starting point is 00:29:23 feel me because I ain't trying to be like ah and then I'm here I go again snapping there was something you said before where you said that when you started rapping it didn't feel you know competitive or it didn't feel like that big a deal how does it feel now like do you feel like being number one really matters to you? Is it just about being the best version of you? Is it about just making money to be able to feed your family and take care of yourself?
Starting point is 00:29:48 Like the money going to come regardless whether I'm doing rap or whether the fuck I'm in the fields or whether the fuck I'm working construction. The money going to come. I'm still going to have money. You know, but it's just competition. Like, the fuck, like, why? Like, I ain't, I ain't know no competition with nobody, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Like, I just want to be. better than me. You know, like, there's not a lot of rappers too that I want to collab either. You feel me? Like, I just want to be me. I want to practice my verses. I want to see how I sound on this beat. I want to see my voice on this whole complete song. You know? Like, that song was cool. Okay, now, let's make a better one. You feel me? Like, I'd be having writers block too all the time and shit and it's like, I'm trying to beat that. Really? You feel me? So it's just like, You overthink it when it comes to music these days?
Starting point is 00:30:41 Nah, I just get bored. I just get bored. I'd be hearing the beats and shit, and the beats is just, like, trash, and I'm just like, damn, bro. And then I'd be hearing, like, other beats, and then it's just, like, yeah, like, well, can I, like, really think to it and shit?
Starting point is 00:30:57 And then I got Sal Trisi. Sal Trisiezy, that's my boy, and I got mad bricks, right? They make me beats. But it's, like, like, like, I got a short attention span. too, bro. Like, you feel me? Like, well, you only been free for four days. So how much
Starting point is 00:31:12 have you recorded since you got out? Shit. Because I feel like a lot of people come home and just go crazy in the studio right away because they have so much to build up. Really? Oh, big. So when it happens, it'll happen? Never, I feel like, like, fuck it. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Let's do it. You know, like, I want to go to the studio today, but then I'm just like, eh. Like, let me enjoy my little freedom real quick, you see. You feel? like before anything. Is the jail mentality not like a good mentality
Starting point is 00:31:42 to go into the studio with? Like people don't want to hear that energy. I don't know what you mean by that one. Versus like... Tripping and shit? All right, if you just, if Friday night you fucking go out to a crazy party and you get a bunch of bitches
Starting point is 00:32:04 and you're doing a bunch of drugs and you're having a grand all time and then Saturday you go in the studio and you still are in that headspace of doing a bunch of things, of fly shit. Is that the environment in which you're going to make
Starting point is 00:32:17 your best song? Or is it going to be after you just got done sitting in a fucking room with a bunch of dudes for a year? My best songs, like,
Starting point is 00:32:25 like, let's try and shit like that is when I'll be wilding. Right. When I'll be like, like, I'll be doing my shit and then I'd be hitting the studio that same day
Starting point is 00:32:32 and I talk about what happened. Right. You know, so I'll just be I'll be doing my shit, you know? Right. And when I get to the studio, like,
Starting point is 00:32:40 okay, I just, you know, that shit feel fun. Because I feel like a lot of artists have that perspective, like, I'm not going to be able to make a great song if I'm wearing my pajamas. That's overthinking it too much. That's why I feel like a lot of rappers get fly as fuck to go to the studio, even though there's nobody around. I do that too, though.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I ain't even going to lie. I ain't even going to lie because look, look, look. You put on all your chains and it's just you? What I say, what I say, if you look good, you feel good. You look like a million bucks. You're going to get that million bucks. And if you feel good, you rap good. And if you rap good, you eat good.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I damn, nigga, I am hungry right now. Like, boy. Like, on God. And you're like, yeah. You've been doing it for a long time. Do you feel like, is there like a sense of like, holy shit, there's a new popping rapper coming up every six months or whatever? Or do you feel like, have you earned your status
Starting point is 00:33:41 where you're going to be respected no matter what comes out? Like, I mean, a motherfucker gonna respect it regardless and shit. Cause like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you can't deny my word that thick either, you know? Like, I'm quick with it, like, you know? I'm fly with it. Like I said, they ain't fucking with me, so I'm just like, you know what I mean? So I'd be okay, like, if motherfuckers respect that thing,
Starting point is 00:34:17 respect, like, the originality that I got. You feel me? me because I know motherfuckers be hearing other full songs and be like, what the fuck? This isn't like Cheeto shit. Right. You know? Because to me, like you're a younger dude, but then when I see somebody like Lefty coming out with the Cheeto
Starting point is 00:34:33 flow, I'm like, oh shit, like your influence is big enough that people are almost like giving you that OG status, you know? Yeah. Like, acknowledging that you've been influential on a lot of different people. Shout to him, yeah. What did you think when you saw that song? Was that kind of
Starting point is 00:34:50 crazy to just be like, damn, people really see my impact. Yeah. You don't seem like overtly enthusiastic. I'm not even going to lie to you. Like, you feel me? Like, shout out to bro. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:35:12 Like, I'm gonna fucking work hard. What the fuck is that? Are you just smoke detector or something? I don't know. You'll be smoking in here all the. God damn it. Yeah, it's the TV. Oh, it's the beeping.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Oh, my gang. Hey. It's his ankle monitor. My ankle monitor. Cool, brother, like. Dude, we're never going to run out of funny shit that can just randomly have it on this podcast, because that's a first right there. Oh, it was so loud.
Starting point is 00:35:55 I felt like it was coming from the ceiling. I thought it was the light. I'm like, why would the light make a beep? Okay. So back to your regular scheduled broadcast. Yeah, we were just kind of talking about, like, the next generation of dudes coming up that may or may not have been influenced by you. Yeah. How do you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:36:21 I mean, good because I was influenced by other, good because I mean, I was influenced by other fools too, you know? So like if I do that to somebody else and, you know, and they're grinding hard because of it. Shit, niggas, and shout-outs to me. You feel me? Oh, sure. Because I can't a lie, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Got crazy work that thing too, though. Like, you be grinding. I see him everywhere, bro. it was talking about him in the pain too I'm like, what the hell? Right. I'm like, all right, what's up? Definitely.
Starting point is 00:36:53 And you guys are on the same label, so do you think it'll end up working together? Right now, I just want to focus on me. You know, like, like, bro, God has wave already, you know? Like, let me get back into me, how to continue where I left off, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:07 Right. So, like, I told you before, like, kit features, I'm not really worried about that right now. Let me show you what I could do with quick, you know? That's important to you to, like, be able to show that you can, maintain your status doing it yourself?
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah. I even maintain my status, just like like, let me just shine real quick, you know? Like, that's it. Like, I've been gone. I only got to shine, like, I only got like, you know, I only got that little 15 minutes of fame, you know? I mean, a lot of people get locked up and
Starting point is 00:37:41 they get out and the views on their shit be hurting. Yeah, that's crazy. Then there's some people, there's like other artists who they get locked up and the shit when they get out is fucking huge. And it's like, I feel like you're probably more on the side of where people are going to be dying to see what your music is like when you get out. But, I mean, it is kind of crazy. Like, your spot is not guaranteed. If you get locked up for a year, you might lose your spot.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Depending on how good your music actually is, you know. The good thing is that I had hell of shit saved up to him. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I wasn't really tripping. I was just like, I just more. mad at a point that I was locked up. You know, like, I was calling him.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I was calling my girl snapping on him. I was calling my girl snapping on her. To drop the music? Nah, it's just like, I wasn't happy in there, bro. Like, I wasn't focusing music again right there until, like, towards the end of the term. You know, in the beginning, I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:38:38 fuck, bro, let me get out again. You know, because it didn't even feel like I was home. You know? I just felt like I had a dream. I was home. I woke up, and I was somewhere. else you transferred me some else. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:38:49 So I was just like, fuck. But they were dropping music while you were locked up, right? Like, how many videos do you think you dropped? I really don't know. I dropped a couple, though. Okay. So while you're locked up, are you getting into bullshit, or are you trying to keep your nose clean?
Starting point is 00:39:07 It's got to be kind of tempting, right, to be doing all the wild shit as long as you got all this time in your hands? I ain't gonna lie. L.A. County was fucking fun, bro. That shit was fun as hell. Really? Yeah. It's more lit to get locked up down here than to get locked up up north. Nah, it's just like, I ain't ever been in LA County, bro.
Starting point is 00:39:25 You feel me? So I was like, okay. Like, it's just something else, you know? Everybody talked about in Lake County, and I was like, okay, fuck. You know, like, let's see what it is. Right. And everybody cool as fuck, bro. Like, I'm telling you, like, like, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:39:44 Like, that's the reason why I do it. You feel me? Because, like, the homies be like, bro, you're the one. You're the one. I was like, okay. I was in MCJ, I went from MCJ. I went to Supermax. When I was in Supermax, I was just chilling for a little bit.

Starting point is 00:40:26 And he's like, what? Like I said, you ain't talking to me like this, nigga? He's like, because it was over my canteen, bro. Because you had too much and he had too little? No, I have my, no, fuck, I don't give shit about that. It's like, I had my canteen, but this dumb-ass motherfucker dropped the receipt. I had another receipt in my pocket, you know? So this thing is like, where's your receipt?

Like, last time when I was like, we had a video shoot, bro.

You know, like, it's, I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Like me, bro, it's something that got to happen in my day at least that'd be like, what the fuck, why? You know? Like, this shit was not planned, you know? Wait. This is not on the schedule. You feel me? We were talking about, like, I think it was interesting because the average rapper does their
Starting point is 00:48:21 first show when they're not popular at all. And like you're already in the position of becoming pretty damn popular having all these songs and millions of views and shit And you haven't even performed yet so it's like is it the idea of it's kind of nerve-wracking I ain't I asked you on my shit Huh? You haven't done like a real now I mean I did a show a little G when I was like first popping and shit When I like first pop it when I first started in shit But that shit wasn't even nothing bro I just was there like 30 seconds and I left Oh okay just like popped out for a song
Starting point is 00:48:51 Yeah not even a song bro like 30 Like, not even 30 seconds of my shit. I think you should do your first show sober. Eh. Just so you can really feel it. Like, really feel the awkwardness. You sound like slabs and soul is right now, bro. Like...
Starting point is 00:49:08 I'm just saying, man. They literally told me I couldn't pop a park the day I signed. I'm like, man. They stopped you from popping a perk. Bro, he called. Everybody, like, don't get you too shit. I was like, damn, bro. I was in bad kick.
Starting point is 00:49:21 I'm like, fuck, bro. You know? So you were, like, getting clean while you're also happy to fuck from signing? Look, signing that shit was like, whatever,
Starting point is 00:49:33 like I just did it just for solace. Like, that's my boy, you know? Like, yeah, I wanted to sign this cool, you feel me? Like,
Starting point is 00:49:39 but, like, I didn't understand none of that shit. Right. You feel me? Like, now I understand what it means. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:49:45 Like, now I'm smart. You feel it like, like, now I came home, like, I'm gonna do what I want to do. You feel me? Like, I'm not doing what the label.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I'm telling me to do like, my respects to the label and all that, It's just like, like, hey, y'all wanted me for me, rightful, let me do me. You know what I mean? I ain't going to wild out no more. Like, I'm cool.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I'm calm. I'm chilling. You feel me? It's a fine line because, like, if you are my artist, it's like on one hand, yeah, I want you to be yourself. On the other hand, you're a fucking grown man. So it's like, if you want to take a purse, what can I really say? I don't want to have a babysitter on me all the time either.
Starting point is 00:50:22 You feel me? Like, right. Like, they always be having someone on me sometimes doing shit because, like, like, like, Like back the end it was tributt, you know? So I would always be with baby face. You feel me? I don't let Tito drive the car.
Starting point is 00:50:38 My bad's a bro, but one time I left them in the studio and I took a car, what? They're trying to protect their investment, right? Well, yeah. Fuck, I'm still human, bro. Yeah. Like, I still want to do shit.
Starting point is 00:50:50 But you can still be human and not be like getting drunk and driving around, right? Which is probably the kind of... I don't even drink, though. That's the thing. I'm just trying to think of the kind of things that they're going to stop you from doing. Well, yeah, like, I just don't want to go back to jail or just do some stupid shit, you know?
Starting point is 00:51:05 Like, I'm cool. Right. Like, fuck, bro, like, now I could just walk to my mailbox with no, nothing. You feel me, I could go to my corner store. I ain't even got to have a fucking gun, bro. Like, I live with white people. You know? I'm the only ghetto-ass-in-lawfulkin in the hood.
Starting point is 00:51:25 People at Starbucks be looking at you funny or what? I haven't tried that yet. Oh, you're going to try to.

Starting point is 00:52:01 community over the last couple years we've seen so many different like Instagram accounts and different like podcasts and different like commentators and people making videos about different types of content and talking about all these different rappers and shit how tapped in to all that kind of shit are you and do you feel like it's overall like healthy for the scene? I'm not even tapped in like that. I'd be asking him like if what was going on right now you know when I was in prison I'd be like if what's going on right now and shit about it. I guess
Starting point is 00:52:28 And That's it I don't even I don't be knowing shit what happened on the outside You know Like
Starting point is 00:52:36 I mixed a lot of shit You know Are you just like In your own world Even when you're on the outside Or is it just the fact That when you're locked up You just don't pay attention
Starting point is 00:52:46 To anything I'm just like Hella used to be By myself and shit So I just I just be chilling I don't really be doing much And shit
Starting point is 00:52:55 Like now bro I just came home Like bro It just feels good To be in bed. I'll be laying a bed and shit. The last time I had Zay

Starting point is 00:53:34 We were all tripping on everybody. I don't spazzing on everybody. Like, fuck that. That was cool. Yeah, I mean, I can understand wanting to, like, go out there and be with the people and shit. Just imagine going out when you're kicking off a perk. Yeah. You're just all cranky.
Starting point is 00:53:49 So you're just always kicking perks? Sometimes, but it's like not even because I was always having one. Right. You don't like, I was always like, well. You don't know how. bad it is until you run out. Not even that, because I will never run out.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Right. Y'all? I'll be sometimes hide them from me and shit, but... Right. I don't know what it would be like to not have coffee. I just haven't had to go without it, like, ever. Maybe I would be all fucked up, having to sleep all day. I think I'd be all right.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I probably wouldn't have the energy to do podcasts all day, though. I'll probably be nodding off in the pod I don't really like coffee like that No energy drinks None of that shit Like I like coffee but it gotta be like stupid sweet Oh really? Yeah like soap like super milky
Starting point is 00:54:41 And hella like fucking sweet I used to be like that You know like I can't stand it's like like just normal coffee I put like a little tiny bit of cream in it now Like the humming when I was inside He'd be like you want some coffee I'll taste me what the fuck man I'll make my coffee and be like that Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Like, all right. But so you're not smoking weed the whole time you're locked up, and then you get out, and you just immediately get back to it. No, I'm still smoking weed on the inside. Oh, really? Yeah. I'm smoking wax. Just a lot more difficult.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Wax is the move in there? Just because it's, like, small and easy to transport. I don't even know. I was just buying shit, everything, bro. Like, just buying the wax, every single thing. Everything they got for sale? Nah, just the wax. All the wax.

I thought you were talking about smoking out of the apple. Nah, like, you just and then I was... You scrape it with a pancat. You feel me? You roll that shit up.

Starting point is 00:56:39 You know, like, I'm on a different shit right now. Mm-hmm. I listen to an interview clip of him talking about, too, and it felt like he was, like, showing you your respect and everything. Yeah, I asked too, though. You feel me? Like, you know, like, yeah. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:57:00 So were you locked up when Swade Dead? Yeah. What was that like for you? That was crazy. Because I was in prison, too, and she was like, I was chilling. Were you locked in with him from early on in his career, or how did you first start talking about? I met his dog father, Polo. I met that for a fourth session.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You know, like, I met that for a yard and shit. And we just always talk about, like, yeah, we're going to do music together and shit, you know? And then when I got shipped out to a different prison, Bro hit me up, you know, swayed me up. Like, damn, you're about to touch down? When that happened, I was like, damn, I didn't believe it, bro. I was just like, damn. Just that he went out like that?
Starting point is 00:58:09 Just that he died, bro, like, life is too short. Yeah. You know? You got to try to do what you got to try to make this shit count. You know, like, this is my last chance. You feel me? I gotta make this one count. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:58:29 Like, that's why I ain't trying to fuck with the drugs, heavy. You know, like, I ain't trying to fucking die off that shit. You just want your ritual of, like, what you're doing in an average day to not be the kind of shit that could get you caught up, you know? You gotta just, like, find a way to be able to go about your life and be happy without having to take the risk of getting pulled over and they find whatever or getting, you know, whatever, whatever scenarios happen. Just anything, bro, even getting pulled over, bro, like, like,
Starting point is 00:58:57 Fuck, man. That shit could give me locked up, bro. Right. Any little thing, bro, like, could give me fucking put back in jail. I'm tired of that shit. You got to, like, put yourself on house arrest. Yeah. Just be like, I'm going to basically try to live like this.
Starting point is 00:59:12 I do for it. And, like, you got a lot of shit to do? You only want to go nowhere. You know, I got a fat-ass TV, huh? When I first came home, I bought a fat-ass TV, bro. Fuck, I bought a computer. I bought a hell of shit, bro. my first day out.
Starting point is 00:59:29 I went crazy. You know, like, how many TVs my house got, bro? If people want to hang out with you, they can come to you? Nah, what I mean? Like, my friends? Like, my friends, they could come to me. Yeah, they could, for sure.

Even the little call that I, even those little calls from prison. You know, like, they would make her date type shit. A letter. You know? My girl was the only one biting me answering my calls.
Starting point is 01:01:45 that's that's probably the problem like we all kind of romanticize the idea of like being with the girl that knew you from before you were popping but a lot of times what happens I feel like is that that girl is so used to shit that from your perspective you're like look at how nice where we're living at is look how much money we got look how good our lifestyle is but like she's been with you the whole time so she don't really see it that way right I take this shit out when you're with me when you're mine I you feel me like You have everything. I'm talking about If I got diamonds, you got diamonds. If I got a fly whip, you're going to have a fly whip. You know, if I got this big ass house, you're going to live in it with me. Why? Because you appreciate me.
Starting point is 01:02:32 You appreciate my worth that thing. You know? You're happy that I'm home. You never said, oh, I wish you would go back to jail. You're going to go back to jail. Nah. You said, we're going to do this right this time. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:00 Like, you can't do this, you can't do that. You know? That's not what you're looking for in a relationship. It's not even that. Sometimes I need the discipline too, though, you feel me? Right.
Starting point is 01:03:11 You got, like, an Android, huh? Nah, no, no. I got a phone. It's just, this ain't my phone. Oh, okay. Having an Android is like the most, like, renegated shit you can do. In prison, all you want is an Android.
