No Jumper.
Coolest podcast on the world.
And today, I'm reunited with my man Chris Travis.
Bankroll Rico with him in the building.
You did.
He got some dreads now.
And then my man, Trey Bands, who does not have a mic, but we're going to make the best of it.
Yes, sir.
Me and Rico are going to go around the sheriff of Mike.
Hey, me, he's fast.
Let's go.
So, all right, let's start this interview.
We can maybe do some Raider Klan talk at some point, but let's start the interview like around when I.
I met you guys in like 2015 when you guys were posted up in Bones' fucking, what was it, a garage?
Yeah, we was in the garage.
And I thought you guys were the craziest, most foul dudes I ever met my life because you
had the blunt guts all over the ground.
Blunk guts everywhere on the ground, everywhere around.
We all sleeping in that, just sleeping in filth around that bitch.
We was just making music in the garage and shit.
Like, that shit was, you know what I'm saying?
And it was crazy because I had never.
encountered rappers who were like that raw and just like really doing it like punk rock as
fuck didn't care about having crazy nice clothes and nothing like y'all are young as fuck just like
young as fuck it was like the most punk rock shit and it was like the perfect way for me to like
start doing content with rappers and shit just because it was something so different that i had never
experienced in terms of being into into rap i remember my first sessional war boy show was like
500 people 400 people crammed into a warehouse hot as fuck like no stage you
just straight doing it on the ground.
The shit was legendary.
Bro, I remember you literally being in the garage saying like you was going to do this
shit, you feel me?
I remember that shit and like you took it like all the way up.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I remember this shit, bro.
Like I remember us all being in the garage when you first came over there.
That's when we was all recording in the studio.
Smoking, smoking blunts and all type of shit, you know what I'm saying?
Where was your mentality at at that time?
Because that's kind of like the Raider Klan thing,
had blown up in your face and how I always saw you guys.
was that like you all sort of came together to make the most of what you had kind of like
because you had like sort of a glimmer of this raider clan thing being big and then it didn't
work out but you guys were like fuck it we're gonna all stick together and make something out of it
yeah yeah see my mentality was like i was on some shit where it was like see i wasn't trying to go back to
memphis you feel me so i want trying to go back to memphis so i was like i got to take this
shit up and like and we was all me like we was we was we was we was all like doing music we
we ain't know like we was gonna do what we did but like it was just all organic you feel me so it was
it was all of us just making songs in the garage bro like the i never knew like the even the songs
that i made that blew up and shit i ain't never know they was going to blow up i ain't never know like
none of that shit was going to because like crunch time was a freestyle right yeah crunch time was a
freestyle, bro, and I was like, bro,
to be honest, bro, that shit wasn't
even mixed right or none. Like,
I ain't mix or master. A lot of songs
from that era. Yeah, from that era was not
mixed, master or none. That shit was recorded
on garage band. I show, say,
straight garage band. Yeah, straight garage.
Garage band drop. Garage band
in the garage, you feel?
Yeah, so like, but
that was like the rawness of this shit.
You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the rawness
of this shit. Like, that's how you got kids
nowadays. Like, they can just record in their
bedroom and shit and you know what I'm saying and that really be the rawness of how to like the
feel of the fucking songs and shit be like without going to a professional studio and shit and like
laying shit down how would you describe like the friendship though like were you guys really
super close or what like how close were you during that time period yeah yeah I'm yeah we was
I was always like we we was always close like me we was always close and shit like everybody
but everybody was still like doing their own shit
like I'll have my time in the garage
where I'm making my music
and I'm doing whatever I do
man, Bons or Eddie or Wolfie
or one of them they'll be gone somewhere
you know what I'm saying doing their own shit
and then I'll be gone somewhere
they come in the garage record
so everybody was on their own shit
but like you know what I'm saying
once we came together and that's what made the shit
so big because like we all had our own fan bases
like from the like from the jump
but like like
coming from the Reda Klan fan base and shit.
But you know what I'm saying?
Like, everybody was doing their own shit.
So me, I was like, I was just on some shit where it was like, man, like, I'm, I just
really want to like make this, take this shit up, like, from California.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, because I ain't trying to go back to Memphis.
I ain't trying to go back to the trenches.
Like, I ain't trying to go back to Memphis.
I got, we just got to make this shit.
So we all like, and what, you know what I said?
What was on saying?
shit because we was out here we we came out here on the same shit you know what I'm saying so
everybody was just doing their own thing and then once we got all got together and like all our
fan bases came together that's what made the shit so big and like how you see like how we had
warehouses packed out with kids like and I always thought it was super smart because I mean something
like when I remember seeing you guys play a rolling loud in the IE or whatever one year oh yeah
and it was like you guys were slotted high up main stage huge crows
out and shit. Realistically, none of you guys were going to be able to be booked for that level
in the show yourself, but you guys all come together and are able to do a lot of shit that you
wouldn't be able to do otherwise, which I always thought was like a very good model for rappers.
Like, you know, come together. People are more attracted to the idea of a group to a certain
extent. But in a lot of ways, did you feel like a group? Because you guys barely, like, did
songs together at all. Like certain people did songs together, but a lot of people didn't really.
But we did, but like, that's the thing, though.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
We, we all, like, everybody was on that own shit.
You feel me for, like, from the jump.
Like, we all, we did, when we came together and did songs, that shit was organic.
You know what I'm saying?
But at the same time, like, we will feed off each other energy because, like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, if I'm in there making a mixtape, Eddie or Zay, like, they'll come into, like,
I got, I got to, I got to, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it was on some shit like that.
But I ain't like, I, I will be going back and forth to Memphis.
I'm saying, I'd be going back and forth to Memphis
because I feel like me being in Cali and shit so long
I got to go back to Memphis and get that inspiration
and go back to like, you know what I'm saying
and get that inspiration and come back out here
or like recording Memphis, just get that feel,
you know what I'm saying?
And like they didn't come back out here in Cali
you know what I'm saying, drops and shit,
do some shows, whatever, you know what I'm saying?
But I just feel like if I stayed out here in Cali
and just like, I don't know.
My sound kind of like switched up and shit
but like I just feel like my sound would be like different.
But I still got to keep my Memphis roots because that's where I'm from.
Right, definitely.
When did, like, when did you start to feel like there was some kind of strain between the group?
Because it sort of happened slowly and it wasn't really documented that much at first.
And then over time you start to see someone play out on Twitter and shit.
Like when did it start to see some cracks?
All right.
So this is the thing.
Like, me, me, Eddie, and Bonn, we was all kind of like, you know,
I'm saying, we was cool.
It was like, man, we were, we was good too, but like, we always, you know what I'm saying.
Jeffrey was just a cat, nah, honey, Narayan.
Yeah, I don't even talk about that anymore.
That's another chapter.
Yeah, exactly.
Man, what we was just always classing.
I mean, we went classed like that, but we were class, you know what I'm saying, just like,
it will always be something like that, you feel I mean?
Like, you two are the ones who are the most similar.
Like, you know each other the longest, right?
You both from Memphis.
We know, but see, the thing is, bro, we, we,
Us, we was like, because we had went, see, I'm gonna go from like, we went on the tour,
the first tour that we did, it was 12, it was like 12 guys, it was 12 of us.
These, it's guys from Red Klan, me, Wolf, Eddie Bones, everybody, we all went on the tour.
Bro, it was like 12 of us crammed in a motherfucking minivan.
And we just, this was our first tour we ever did with all them, you know what I'm saying?
And at the time, me and Wolf was the biggest, you feel like, you know what I'm saying?
because we just coming out Raider clan we was doing our shit you know what I'm saying
you know we was all doing our shit you know what I'm saying so we was the biggest so at this
at that time like I was um I was out here like just trying to get my music out you know what I'm
saying like out here spread it out in California and LA and Wolf was on the same shit so
once we went on that tour we like we was like damn like it's actually kids and
and shit showing up.
Like, this motherfucker's showing weed.
Like, it wasn't, like, crazy how it was later down the line.
But kids and shit was actually showing up.
And the songs that we was playing, like, it was real punk.
You know what I'm saying?
It was, like, on some punk rock shit, like, mosh, all that type of shit.
And at this time, our future of them was, they was going crazy and shit.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
So, uh...
Rap was changing a lot.
We might not 100% understood it at the time, but there was so much different shit happening, you know?
Yeah, exactly.
It was so much different shit happening.
You know what I'm saying?
and shit we had went on tour with uh
with trash talking odd future we did a couple of shows
out here in California it was uh
me wolf and perk and I think a couple of what we
we did a tour with trash talking odd fishing and it was like
some real punk shit like that I feel like
like that was like you know what I'm saying the start
you know what I'm saying like other shit you feel
me and then but to go towards to go to the tour
with all of us bro it was 12 of us crammed in a van
standing motels
niggas
four like
four like we all
six deep in one room
just bro
like it was it was
that shit was crazy
and like
it wasn't like
everybody was just
like doing
doing like
what the fuck
like what they wanted
to do you know what I'm saying
I was I was always
going to do that anyway
you know what I'm saying
but like
once we was done
with that tour
we just decided
to stay out in California
and fuck with
bones and Elian and shit.
So like, and then the other folks, they went and back to they sit their hometown
and did whatever they did.
And so that's how the water boys formed because we were just like, all right, we're going
it's us.
So we're just going to stick around.
We're just going to stick around, stay here, make music, and book the shows.
Elliot was booking the shows and shit.
And we were just going to go from there and we was going up.
And so, like, at that time, like,
rap like you said was changing like you know i'm saying like the sound cloud era of the um
just making music in a in a bedroom and shit like that like all like we was the the start of that
shit you feel me so that's really like that's really like how that all that shit begun but when
the tension started flaring up is on down the line you know what i'm saying so we're gonna we're
get to that though like we're gonna get to that for sure right so yeah i mean like yeah what happened in
between like when do you feel like it was at its height what what uh like satch all the ward boys in
generally 2017 i i would say bro 2016 probably 2016 2015 then when shit started going left was
probably 21 and the 2017 2018 okay so you're like yeah motherfuckers don't know that but like yeah
when shit started going left like yeah 2017 2018 all right so break that down for me how that started
happening because me and um i was going back and forth i was going back and forth from memphis
to cali you know what i'm saying and so i we i was making money and shit so i ended up getting me a
career everybody you know like how i be like when niggas started getting their own spots when they
you know what i'm saying everybody started doing their own shit right after i saw it happen with you guys
i saw it happen with shoreline yeah they was all super tight homies it's the same shit they get signed they
They start getting money.
They move.
They get their own spots.
They get their own girls.
And then you're just touring together.
And all of a sudden, you ain't spending time like that.
You ain't bunning this shit like that.
So, like, everybody just going their own paths.
So you feel me?
That's what, like, that's what really happened.
And we moved out.
Niggas was making money.
We moved out.
I didn't, I didn't stay it all around LA and shit.
So, like, once I moved out, bro, I was just,
I was working.
Like, I was working.
The bones.
everybody was just working
and like I stayed downtown and shit
and so
I would just be making my mixtapes and all
that shit in my crib like
and just dropping them and just dropping them on
SoundCloud and like
you were always kind of in your own world
I always been in my own world
bro I ain't even gonna lie to you I always been in my own
world we probably would have an interview in
2016 if you weren't in such your own
world bro nah this shit long
overdue this shit long overdue but I'm gonna tell
you though like like I'm on
I just wait for the right time.
I didn't really do, like,
it's been plenty of motherfuckers
to hear me up to do interviews and shit,
but I ain't never,
I just ain't never get around
and, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I just wanted to wait for the right time
and this is the right time.
It's perfect.
Fire.
Perfect time.
We should have been had an interview,
bro.
It's kind of perfect, though, yeah.
We should have been,
we long overdue for an interview.
But would you say you're a loner?
Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely a loner.
I ain't even going to lie.
I'm definitely, I was never, like,
even when we go back to the radio clan and shit,
bro, I was always just in my,
I was just on like some loaners shit.
I went on a loner, loner shit.
But I was just, I always wanted to stay in my lane.
Just just period.
I just wanted to stay in my lane.
Because I ain't never want to like just fucking.
Because that's how shit, you know what I'm saying?
That's how niggas clash and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Like just, you know, just motherfuckers like, if they don't stay, like, I feel like how
I do it, if I don't stay in my own lane, I ain't going to like the turnout.
You know what I'm saying?
I ain't going to like, you know what I'm saying?
I ain't going to like the turnout.
So I just felt like I always need to stay in my own lane.
I need to have my own sound.
I need to have my own everything.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I always been like that since a kid.
So like, that's why like, you know what I'm saying?
And when I went solo, that's when like the tension, that's when, you know, you know,
a nigga of course, motherfuckers going to get mad.
You know what I'm saying.
But like I wouldn't, I don't give a fuck about what nobody say or what nobody talk about.
I always just do my own thing.
But when you say went solo, did you ever have?
have that conversation with them, like, I'm not really trying to do this shit as a group so much.
Yeah, I ain't, I'm gonna tell you, like, I ain't even, they, they noticed it.
Like, they know it because I started distancing myself.
Like, I just started distancing myself.
Like, and like you said, like, niggas was, uh, but when it was time, like, I still do shows
and shit with them.
Like, I still do shows.
But you can just feel like, like, like, motherfuckersers are, even the fans, they was
knowing, like, oh, Chris, he'd be on his own shit.
Like, he'd just be, you know what I'm saying?
He'd be on his own shit.
I still do shows, do all that shit.
But that's the thing, though, when we all came to get,
we was all on our own shit.
I feel like Sets Hollow Water Boys is just a good collective
of all our shit coming together.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, of all our stuff coming together.
Because Bones, he, they had Ben had had Sish,
we've been at a Hollow Squad,
Eddie Ben had, you know, healthy boys and all that shit.
But so then you say that you want to kind of just do your own thing
and how do they react?
I mean, they ain't, like, they probably felt, I know they felt some type of way, like, but see, the thing is, motherfuckers don't communicate, you know what I'm saying?
Like, we ain't never, like, communicate, but, like, we ain't never just, like, I just came out one day and I was just like, they already felt the tension, but I was like, I need to go public with this shit.
So I had just tweeted.
I was like, I'm no longer sexual hollow water boys.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Everybody doing their own thing, but I'm walking my own path.
That shit went crazy
and the fans was mad
The fans was mad
But some fans just like
The real fans was like
Bro, I'm glad
You know what I'm saying
Just keep doing your shit
You know what I'm saying
Just keep doing your thing
But did you really not have any
Like drama with any of them
At that point
Or was any, what led up to that?
It wasn't no real drama
With them at their point
They respected my decision
They respected it
Like they respected it
You know what I'm saying
So like
They, you know
And they respected it
And I respected them
But it's just like
bro, like, bro, we gotta be ripped.
I was always ending the shows.
Every step's hollow water boy's shows, bro.
I'm ending the show.
Like, I'm the weird, like, I'd be turning up,
you know what I'm saying?
I'd be turning up like a motherfucker.
Like, I ain't even gonna cap.
Like, I was just turning up.
Like, I ain't gonna say, I turned up the most,
but I was turning up and the fans,
though, they knew what's up, like,
the fans knew what's up and so.
But so you just felt like you had a better opportunity
to try to go solo.
Did you feel like you weren't going to be able to be viewed as your own artist if you kept just like being affiliated with the group?
Yeah, yeah, that's how I felt.
Like, I feel like I wasn't going to be.
I always wanted to be my own artist, you know what I'm saying?
I wanted that shit from the jump.
I wanted that shit from a jump.
I always wanted to be my own artist.
I ain't never just wanted to, you know what I'm saying, like tag along in the group.
That's why I broke up from Radical.
I was the first one to leave Reddy Klan.
A lot of motherfuckers don't know this.
Like, I had the Reda Klan and then.
What happened?
Perp punched a journalist or some shit.
Hell yeah, bro.
Like, yeah, bro.
Somebody from the fader or something, right?
Yeah, somebody from the fader.
Yeah, he did that shit in New York, I think.
Like, yo.
Damn, and that's what started everything?
Yeah, that's what started everything, bro.
You see even today Perp was tweeting about how he wants to have a concert,
you versus Walt, posted by me?
I'm like, what the fuck?
I said, bro, this nigga Perp, bro.
He on his like 90th Twitter.
Yeah, right, bro.
He's 90th.
He just keep getting banned.
and keep getting fucking deleted off Twitter and shit.
I'm like, bro.
Whenever anybody sends me his tweets,
I feel like I'm being trolled because it would be so easy for it to just be a fake account, right?
Yeah, it could be so easy for it to be a fake-ass account, bro.
Like, that shit can be so.
That's why sometimes I just be looking at that shit,
and I'd be like, bro, it's just even a real perp.
Like, I don't even be knowing.
Right.
But so then where does the shit start going left from there after you announced that you left?
When I announced that I left,
that's when like the tension and shit
like you know what I'm saying
motherfuckers was getting mad
you know what I was doing my own shit
me but like I said
man we were we was always clashing
you feel me so like
I ain't never have no
no tension between Bones and Eddie
right that's what I'm thinking
because Bones is super chill
like for the most part
they stay out the way
I said you were in your own world
he's mega in his own world
right Bones be mega in his own world
you know what I'm saying
and then Eddie I never really known
Eddie to be like antagonizing shit
he always like be trying to
get along with everybody, keep shit cool, you know.
Eddie would be like the mediator, you know what I'm saying?
Like, he'll be trying to keep shit cool and shit like that, you feel me?
But then meanwhile, Wolf is like bipolar, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He, that nigga bipolar, bro, like, he be, he, it's like, I don't know if his ego or
what, but like, you know what I'm saying?
It just be like, this nigga just, he just be bipolar on that bipolar shit and just
thinking his ego is just bigger than what it is, you feel me?
So I just, and then that's why, you know, we class.
what I'm saying?
Because I'm like, nah, it ain't even for the go like that, you feel
feel like?
Because even after you left the group were you guys like hanging out?
Bro, no.
That was over by then.
That was over with it.
Okay.
That was over with it.
I ain't, nah, we weren't talking to nothing.
I wasn't, no, I wasn't even trying to talk or nothing.
Like, he wasn't like, he wasn't talking.
Like, I still, I still, to this day, I'd like, I still talk to Eddie, you know
what I'm saying, bones in them?
But like, me and wolf?
Nah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what actually caused the, the shit to break out on the Twitter when you guys
actually started really getting in?
to it. What was that about?
Okay, so you want to know from recently just now?
Sure. What the stuff back like a year or two ago?
So the stuff bad like a year or two ago,
the stuff bad like a year ago, all right.
So, damn, bro, what happened, bro?
Because I, he, I dropped, I think I, he dropped like a little song or song.
Fans was tagging me and shit, and he was like sneak dissing.
He was mad that I, he was kind of, he was mad that I left the group too.
Like, I feel like he, I know he was, he was mad and shit.
So he dropped a song or something
And then the fans was tweet me and shit
Like
I don't like I ain't gonna lie
I wouldn't
I don't listen to no
I don't be listening to like other motherfuckers
music and shit like that
Because I'd be trying to be on my shit
But like I went
I went in here I'm like man
I don't know if he dissing me or what
But like it kind of sound like
So I'm like I fuck this shit
I'm gonna drop my own disc track
So I dropped the disc track
And then bro
That's when like
That was 2018
See this was 2018
that's when shit like
was going
like see we'll be on some shit
like bro like this nigga
would be trying to be cool
and then it'll be some shit
when we fall out it's like I ain't even trying to be on there
like nigga we ain't cool
we ain't cool like but if you try to be on there
oh oh like um
we cool but like
still you know what I'm saying
sneak dissing and all that shit I ain't even trying to be on that
nigga if we ain't straight we ain't
you know what I'm saying I ain't having that
I'm from the excuse you, too.
That nigga, that bitch, that nigga put me in the song, too.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Put my foot up his ass.
Yeah, hold on, yeah.
What did he say?
I don't even remember that.
That was, I forgot something.
It was right.
He dropped the request with a fuse album.
Remember the album?
He had got mad at him over some bullshit because, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
He was signed.
They wrote me a check because I was on an album.
Yeah, see, this was, this really way.
This was back in.
So, you know, he's like, oh, yeah, they're probably like,
fuck both of them niggas now, you know.
That's really what it's still for.
I ain't even going to lie.
And they were back in 2018 for I was to jail.
He was mad that you had a verse on the album?
Or that you got paid for it?
Yeah, and I was supposed to get him a cut.
Yeah, like he was supposed to get him.
And then, no, this really what it stands from.
Penny pension.
And so, like, I'm like, nah, hell, nah, bitch that nigga.
Like, you ain't because my brother, he got a little tech, like,
nigga, ain't you supposed to be making money?
Why are you crying over some little punk-ass dollars?
You know what I'm saying?
We're like, we're making money.
Baby money.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, you're crying over some little punk-ass,
I'll give you that shit, nigga out of my part.
So that's really what it's stem from, like, you know what I'm saying, him making some shit about my brother.
But like I said, we were class.
So I dropped a diss song on his ass.
And then after that, 2018, we were, after I dropped my disc song, niggas was still trying to be cool.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Niggins is still trying to be cool.
We were still talking this shit.
But like, I'd be peeping shit from a dis.
You know what I said.
Undercover tension.
Yeah, he had undercut.
That's very him though.
That's how he is.
That's how he is.
It don't come to the light.
Yeah, it don't come to the light.
Like he'll be, you know what I'm saying?
He'll be sneak dissing and shit, but he won't say shit to a nigga face.
Like, he won't say, he won't like, you know what I'm saying?
I'm the type, like, I ain't playing like, nigga, I'm going to come to your face.
If I got something to say.
Man and man, I'm going to hit you up.
I'm going to do whatever.
But, you know what I'm saying?
He's the type of top behind the nigga back, do all type of other bullshit.
Like, I ain't, I wasn't cool with nothing.
For real.
And me and him were like at one point, we were really tight, like really close friends talking every day.
And when we fell out, it was because.
because of him just going straight to Twitter,
talking crazy shit about some stupid shit about,
he tripped out one time
because I interviewed, whoa, Vicky.
Like, which we thought it was funny.
It was fucking, you know, it was weird,
have a good time.
What you were worried about with another,
all fucking doing about him?
And you're gonna really, like, call out somebody
you are real friends with over some dumb shit like that
instead of texting me and if you text me and say,
oh, that's some weird ass shit, whatever.
That's whatever.
Like, we could fucking argue about it.
It is what it is.
And even before that, it was,
always on some petty-ass jealous shit.
He got mad when I interviewed suicide boys
because he was jealous as fuck of them.
He was mad when I interviewed Tyler Grosso
because he was ASAP.
Bro, that nigga got that type of, like, he got their
type of energy.
That nigga be jealous, bro.
Like, I ain't gonna, it's just be, it's just
niggas, nigga, like, nigga just be hating.
And then they want to make it seem like,
I'm the bad guy and I'm hating on the light.
Bro, like, what I got hate on you for?
What you got that?
I ain't got like, come on now.
Yeah, I feel like you, Eddie and Bones all seem
like good people, but it's an example of
where like one bad apple could really like
spoil the bunch, bro, for real. Like one bad, that's exactly what
it is, bro, one bad apple. And then
on some shit like, where he think he made
no jumping shit like, bro, like, bro.
Come on. Like, you always
like. He couldn't even make himself.
Man, bro, I said, bro, I said, I told that
that nigga that is, I said, bro, how you think
you made somebody? You can't even make yourself.
Like, you always think you made
some or created something, bro. Come on now. I put
I would go into deep.
I put that boy on air.
He wouldn't even be who he was today if he wanted for me.
I'll go in deep, but I ain't, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Like, bro.
There's another ex.
If any rapper wants to say they made me,
there's another ex that could definitely make the claim he didn't hear it to say that.
But there's a different ex that would have an argument.
Big facts.
I'm going to be real.
Like, yeah, it was dope that he gave me that interview,
but that was honestly a direction that I was going in general,
where I was trying to figure out how to do content with all kinds of different people.
So he was like a real good rapper at that time,
that it made sense
and after I interview him
Puya hits me up
and he wants to do it
and that makes sense
so it's like
I'm kind of covering
this whole world and shit
but for him to act
like he made me
after I did
literally like
1,500 interviews
since that and shit
it's like bro
you couldn't even bring your
pull your shit together
bad you couldn't even pull your shit
so how you made somebody
bro like come on
come on now
like when he dropped that album
on Atlantic
I remember listening to it
and just being like
what the fuck is he thinking
like how is this really what you did
my thing is
My thing is, though
Get out there, motherfuckers
Think that this nigga really...
See, I was really independent, you feel him?
Right.
Like, he dropped an album with Atlantic
Like, and still trying to claim
that independent status and all this.
He was sneaky with the signage.
Yeah, trying to be sneaking with the signage.
Like, go ahead, bro, be real with your self.
Be real with your fans, bro.
The lead single was a made in Tokyo
song with a verse from him.
Like, it was all made in Tokyo.
Yeah, right, exactly.
I remember being like, what are you doing?
Come on now, like, right.
Like, that's the thing, though.
bro, like even when we used to make music, like, like me, like how I, how I,
see, niggas would get inspired by me, crunch time, all this shit, like, not all that
shit, I was just go in there and go in the booth and just kill it.
I don't need no features.
That's the, that's the rule.
I don't need no features.
I don't need nobody on the song with me.
I'm just going to slam this shit.
Like, and that's how I, like, that's how I was.
But like, even when we did the features, like, we don't believe you and shit like that,
that was just on some shit where, oh, we all just chilling, smoking, and the,
the garage let's hop on the beat and uh you know what i'm saying and bones pulled that shit up
and we just did that shit it's a shame because i always wish there was like a tape of like 15
songs like that bro you guys all spas yeah everybody wanted that shit everybody wanted that
shit bro was like bro that shit wasn't like i don't think it was ever going to happen for
it didn't it didn't like seem realistic in the beginning yeah it ain't seen no it definitely
didn't because once we did we don't believe you though we ain't know that shit was gonna take
how I did, you feel
me, but like,
at the bike shop.
Yeah, at the bike shop.
We literally shot the video
at the bike shop,
bro.
I remember that shit,
right there downtown.
I think Stevie did a tail whip
up in the video.
Yeah, hell yeah.
I remember that shit,
bro, like,
and then, you know what I'm saying?
That's when motherfuckers got
into the BMX shit
and, like,
and all that,
you feel me?
So, like...
I remember a time period
where, like,
a random girl I know
went to a Chief Keith
show at the observatory
and the OC.
And she just was like,
man, like,
there's so many people
here were hollow squash shirts
and,
Like, because we had done a collab with them.
She's like, I just seen like 10 people wearing your shit.
Like, it was a real, like, movement in L.A.
At that time.
Bro, it was a real movement.
Like, for real, for the BMX and all, like, the skateboard.
Because I remember I had pulled up on you and got me a bike because I was staying downtown.
I had pulled up on you and got me a bike, bro.
And I was like, shit.
I ain't never like, I ain't never, I wouldn't ever ride bikes.
But, see, I was like, I want to ride by.
I ain't have no car.
And then like, I ain't had no car.
I was like, nigga shit, I got to get around downtown.
So I had my bike and shit like that.
Quick detour in this conversation before we get back to this other shit.
Do you have any memories from that time period of going to all those ham shows
and being in all those crazy-ass environments in terms of either people who have lost their life since then
or just people who went on to become legendary?
Is there anything that ever stands out to you of like, I was in some wild-ass spaces?
Hell yeah, bro.
Like, bro, I see it like, bro, you got to think about it.
Like since ham and all that shit, ham was like the first, bro, when I first,
first came. I think Han was my first show, and it was with
main attractions.
They was, you know, they was doing the cloud, the cloud rap shit.
We can get into it with A-South rocking and all that shit.
That's what's funny people. I used to call it cloud rap.
Like when I first started fucking with y'all before sound cloud rap, I was just saying, like,
yeah, I'm fucking with these dudes' bones of them, and they do like cloud rap type shit,
because that's what they were calling it with young lean.
Yeah, it was with young lean.
And you guys were kind of like in that family, you know?
Bro, like, the crazy thing is, like,
they're trying to treat, like,
coding any pieces like,
did I made, like, a cloud rap album.
I wasn't even making that shit on no cloud rap.
But, like, I feel like that really started the genre.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, people are calling, oh, the cloud rap,
the druggie, the spacey, wavy beats,
you know what I'm saying?
The spacey, wavy flow.
Like, you feel me?
Like, there was the start of that shit.
And then, you know, but I feel like A.
A.S. Rocky was doing that shit, too, at that time.
He was an influence for sure.
Yeah, he was, yeah.
But, okay, like, I meet a million rappers from
Memphis or from like different hoods or whatever.
And a lot of them like they make music realistically that sounds like, you know, street music.
They're trying to sound like push-shisty or Big 30 or whoever the fuck these days, you know.
But you always have been so different and you never really seem like you tried to fit in at all.
But I was on, I ain't going to lie.
I used to make like shit like my first shit, I was making like street shit like real killer shit.
Like if you go back to listening to old Chris Travis, you would be like, damn.
But then I was just like being in California.
bro, it just like, like, it changed up my sound.
I think it did it for the better, you know what I'm saying?
And it just made me want to be different.
Like, because, like, everybody in Memphis was rapping about the same shit.
Right.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
But every, like, but, like, Memphis is like that staple I feel like, like, even right now.
Like, Memphis is like their staple, like, or the sound of, like, hip hop for real.
Right.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Especially with all the artists and shit blowing up out of the city.
Yeah.
Like, motherfuckers going, the city going crazy.
Hell yeah.
That's a fact.
Hell yeah.
All right, so what happened more recently when you was pulling up to a spot putting it on Twitter?
So, how that shit went about, okay, bet, bet, bet, okay.
So he, I'm on, like, like I said, niggas be having secret, like, secret little tension, you know what I'm saying?
Like, niggas be having secret attention.
So we was following each other.
Like, we, we was following each other.
And, uh, but we ain't talked, but like, I just be like, bro, niggas just, you.
just be watching,
the lingers just be, you know what I'm saying?
He just be trying, you know, he just be,
he just be trying to see what niggas on and shit.
So, but like, we was following each other.
He was promoting his, uh,
new album or whatever, I guess.
So,
uh,
he had dropped a promo video or something.
And then I was,
uh,
I had,
I seen it.
And I was like,
and it was the same beat.
I literally,
it was the same sound,
but I ain't even gonna lie.
It was the same sample I just used my recent album.
I'm like,
I had come.
I ain't say no hate and shit
or none of that shit, you know what I'm saying?
I ain't say no hate and shit or none of that shit.
I was just like, damn, this shit, this shit hard.
Everybody used this sample.
I was like, I used this sample.
I used this sample.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
I did this motherfucker first.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
And so he had replied.
He was like, hell yeah, it is, bro.
Then his brother had came and just said some haynad shit.
And I had responded back to his brother.
Yeah, I had responding back to his brother.
And I'm like,
fuck out of here. Like, nigga, I had
said some shit back, and you feel
me, he was mad about that, you know what I'm saying?
Nigger was mad. And so
we arguing in the comments, of course,
you know what I'm saying, his little
henchement, or his little, little weak-ass
little...
Millions.
Communions coming. And so
I'm like, man, y'all, niggas speaking for this

He was like, you just mad or something.
Like, you just mad.
You, I ain't, you ain't, your numbers and shit for, you, your numbers and shit.

Bro, I'm literally out of him.
Soon he said that, I dashed out my motherfucking dope.

Anyway, I'm like, all right, since this

So I pulled it up, stay there to the picture.

Yeah, yeah.
They had a lot of my Twitter and all this shit for that shit.
So, like, I'm like, yeah, since you're so big and tough,

Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, come on.
You know how I get done.
Like, stop playing with me.
Yeah, that's an L.
You can't, like, act up and then have somebody post your grit.
And that's what the fans were saying.
Like, you told Chris to pull up.
Right.
He pulled up.
And you said, you know where I'm at.
Okay, yeah, I know where you're at.
You act like you was out eating.
I told you, literally, I'm on the way.
You probably left the house and went out to eat or did whatever you did.
But like, and then after that, his little, uh, little million want to come in, little Jeffrey.
I'm like, bro, I only want to talk.
That's, man.
You wasn't nobody.
You wasn't nobody.
That boy right.
Why did you even stepping in, man?
That boy right there is a little boy, man.
It's really sad.
Just seeing him just be a little henchman.
But he ain't really ever got anything in return
besides a tiny little droplet of clout, right?
A little drop in it.
He could barely get a retweet.
A droplet, bro.
This nigga, look, he was my cameraman.
He was my cameraman at first.
I don't even think they went even, was they even fucking.
Was he even going to be?
Was he one fucking?
He wasn't even around.
Yeah, he wasn't even around.
He wasn't even around that shit then.
This niggas was my cameraman.
Me and Wool, we was, I brought him around like, you know what I'm saying?
And he started like, I guess he started the rap.
He was, he thinks he can, oh, I can do this rap shit too with him a little week at ABC,
one, two, three as little songs he made.
But like, bro, he, I guess he started he can do the rap shit too.
So I guess, and then, you know, me, we, we had, feel like, and then Wolf and Jeffrey,
they were just always, you know, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they,
Both, like, got the same, like, fuck, nigga,
look, mentality, you know what I'm saying?
But they were beefing for a minute, right?
That's why it was weird seeing him dick ride each other now, right?
That's right.
I mean, the fucker didn't like each other.
But like I said, bro, like, he going to get this, man.
Leave his ass out of town there, everything.
We want to speak.
We ain't going to speak.
I mean, that man.
Like you said, he got that little drop of the clout.
He got that shit only from the wood fans, bro.
Like, come on now.
You ain't got your own fan base.
What's stopping?
Yeah, no.
Right.
Yeah.
I always liked his music, too, but he just acts like a weirdo.
Man, I ain't, I can't name us memorable Jeffrey song.
Rape, rape.
Right, right.
Then, nigga, you made a song like, no, that's that too, bro.
We're lucky that never really blew up because that could have looked bad for the whole group.
Yeah, bro, that's, but look, look, like, that's how me and him, I had, I had fucking, it was a fucking, a video popped up on my Twitter timeline.
Oh, everybody's singing along to it at that show?
Everybody's singing it.
And it looks crazy.
I said, that's really when I was like,

fuck with D-Line. I really said there on Twitter,
I said, bro, D-Nigas-Lan, I can't fuck with D-Lan, man,
niggas, like, and then that's when niggas got mad.
And then, you know what I'm saying?
This is probably into, I think this was 2018, too.
That was 2018, yeah, 2018-219.
Like, I was like, bro, I can't fault with D-E-Lan, man,

He was stealing Chris Flo,
but when he got to rapping about other shit,
he wasn't rap.
He wasn't raped by none of that shit to I came around.
He wasn't rapping about pimping,
breaking old bitch to our camera.
Come on, be real.
Pimping and all this shit.
You were rapping, all this shit.
You go from raping by raping and tricking to pimping.
How?
How?
Now you're, now you're just.
I'd be on some games.
You just don't know what to switch.
You don't know what you want to be in life.
Man, man.

I'm just being like,
what's off?
Damn, we should have made that.
They're going to have to go to the dark web to find it.
Man, on everything.
That bitch probably got that shit removed off everything.
I searched for a couple of times.
Whenever I found it, it's from, like, somebody uploaded it, like, six months before
because it's been deleted so many times.
Yeah, type shit.
Long-a-time ago, man.
Come on now.
Crazy.
Like, man.
That way I said, I had a dissing myself from these nigginess.
Man, I cannot fuck with these niggas, bro, at all.

That's kind of weird now.
Like, I can't even, fuck with it.

I'm like, fuck y'all niggas too.
Fuck you talking about.
Like, stop playing with me.
Y'all know how I get down, bro.
Like, stop playing with me.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, but that's how, you know what I'm saying?
That's how I should be.
Like, that's why I always been on my own shit.
You feel me?
Because, like, it's just like, I already.
See, when she hit the fan,
they start getting pick a size.
When she hit the fan,
niggas start picking sides.
And really, these nigg need to stab the bin.
They need to stay out of the main.
They need to stay out of the being because y'all really,
y'all ain't from the city where we're from.
So that will I be saying,
like, anybody that ain't,
that ain't got nothing to do with this Memphis, like this shit.
Like, stay out of it.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, because they really be picking sides and choosy, choosy and shit.
Like, nah, nigga, if it's like that, fuck all y'all, nigga.
For real.
On everything.
Damn it.
Damn.
Big facts.
Nah, yeah.
I mean, there's part of me that's like, damn, it would be great if you guys got back together or whatever.
But, I mean, honestly, like, dude is a weirdo.
And at the end of the day, it's just like the kind of person is too emotional to even try to have, like,
real relationship with even with your history you know what I'm saying because same with me like real
it's real talk 20 2016 bro when I met X like X X X X X X X I had I had and I had hashtag hollow squad
in my fucking Instagram bio and like just to put into perspective how much I was rocking with him like
when I interview DJ Paul what am I doing I'm playing his fucking video for him I'm like really
showing real love like the shit that like I would almost not do for anybody at this point you know
And he just totally took that for granted and just got jealous of me getting into a different position.
That's it.
Let me stand it.
I stamped it on great.
When I first met Juice World, we was in the back of no jump when he first bumped Lucy Dreams for you.
On me, it wasn't even out yet.
It was unreleased.
He was bumping that jump.
I said, damn, that's a fucking video on Twitter the other day of me and Juice World.
And Xavier's standing right next to him.
I was like, that's crazy.
That was the day I met him.
Like a little cookie out of a little evening.
Yeah, yeah.
crazy.
Shit, like,
shit,
crazy how shit be
turned out,
man,
niggas be ego
shit be fucked up
niggas be fucking up
niggas
what they ain't
they is what they ain't.
Like,
you know what I'm saying?
Like,
come on now.
Like,
if you was real,
if he was real,
bro,
it wouldn't be no problem,
you feel me?
Even with y'all,
it wouldn't be no problem.
Like,
like,
with me,
I wouldn't,
I wouldn't,
I wouldn't get,
why would I get jealous
that you doing an interview
with anybody else
or any of that type of shit?
I don't give a fuck about it.
What?
Like, come on now, you worry about two minutes.
You worry about other folks too much, bro.
And it's crazy because I met and I had relationships with so many rappers,
so much bigger than him that keep it so much real.
In the face of shit.
Bro, I just, Fredo Bang just FaceTime me.
Bro, I interviewed people that Fredo Baner do not get along with.
I interviewed both sides of the shit in Chicago.
I interviewed people who got real murderous ass beep with each other,
and they don't give a fuck about the fact of me doing my job.
So the fact that that was my boy like that,
and he was tripping over tiny-ass political-ass shit
was just like, bro, you're not a real person.
That's how you know he's lame as fuck, bro.
Like, that's how you know.
Bitter his head.
For real.
Be bitter as fuck.
Yeah.
And I resent the whole thing of like, oh, I made you or whatever.
It's like, bro, I kept my foot on the gas.
Like, yeah, you gave me a little tiny thing there.
That's the thing.
But I stayed on it.
And meanwhile, your music fell off a fucking cliff.
Man, exactly, bro.
Like, and then he gave me, the motherfuckerking get mad.
You know what I'm saying?
when he said a nigga doing good
when he said like with you doing good
me anybody doing good like bro come on
bro stay in your lane bro like you know what I'm saying
stay doing what you do stop worrying about other
motherfuckers and what they're doing you feel like
it's a real teaching moment
for kids out there
don't get caught up in your own ego you know
mind your business
stay in your lane and you're gonna be good
and miss for all the little week at little fans
bro y'all stay
like, bro, the fans that they be like, the fans be like, bro, they don't see,
they don't really see how this nigga is for real.
So like they think this man some type of, like some type of tough guy or whatever, however
he'd be trying to betraying his image of mute.
Nah, stop it, bro.
Yeah, he really, he goes out of his way to not put his actual personality on the internet
because the fans act like we'd be tripping when we're like, yo, you're, you're a Molly
head, you fucked up on drugs, whatever.
They act like, we're just making shit up.
Yeah, like we're just making shit up, bro.
Like, we actually, realistically, me and household a shit,
we know hell of shit about shit.
Girls told us about homie that I'm not going to bring to the table
because I don't really respect people who do the pillow talking like that.
I'm not going to talk about shit with bitches.
Big fat.
I ain't got to speak on.
If they got something to say about you, they could say it.
But my belief that you are a weirdo is cemented in stone.
Understood, bro.
Like, shit, whoa.
Don't even bring up no bitches, bro.
Because, like, what?
Come on now.
Come on.
This could get bad.
Man, yeah,

I ain't trying to get on no songs.
I ain't trying to do no,

I ain't got no, no show.
I told it, nothing of that,

Like, it's, that shit dirt for.
I got to ask you this.
Throughout the whole time I've known you,
there've been quite a few people
who were riding the water wave,
saying water, making water songs, whatever.
It's understandable because it is the one thing
that we're all drinking.
But, you know, you really coined Water Boys early on,
and now it's gone as far as Cuevo making a motherfucking water boys film.
Bro.
Bro.

You know, I used to be on the lane.
You know, I used to be on lean heavy.

Man, nobody else thinking no damn wall.
Everybody from Memphis has to go through a lean face.
Man, I, you know, I was on the lean heavy and shit.

Chris had whipped my ass when that I stole his leg.
Yeah, yeah.
He got mad at his head.
Yeah, I ain't going to lie, bro.
I used to be up, bro.
And no one act was in this stuff.

He ain't in the streets like that.
You know what I'm saying?
He can stand out the way, man.
We get to the bad.
Big fact.
Let me ask you something.
Y'all ever been to Dollywood?
Dollywood?
It's an amusement park that Dolly Parton has.
It's like an hour from Nashville or something.
Me and my girl did a week in Nashville
And then we went to
Pigeon Forge
I believe is where Dollywood's at
Oh hell yeah
Yeah, hell yeah
So we were out there
I was wondering if y'all ever fuck with that
Nah
I ain't gonna keep it real
Brough Memphis is like his own city
We don't even be going to Nashville
Is even if it's a homecoming
Or something like
Yeah if it's like some like
You know what I'm saying
Some shit going on
But like shit we're going on
That's like Memphis
I feel that why people call
People aren't even called
Memphis, Tennessee, like it's just straight Memphis.
Bro, I had fried chicken in Nashville that made, like, I've been eating Pop-Bas thinking
it was great my whole life.
I don't even, I can't even eat it anymore.
You're in the wrong parts of the woods.
You're in the wrong parts.
You got to Memphis.
That shit fuck me up.
Like, I could fully imagine it right now.
I can taste it.
You got to come to Memphis.
Man, you got to come to Memphis and get you some wins.
Okay, so when I was reading, I saw.
that they said that you should be careful going to Memphis though because it has dark energy.
Yeah, I agree with that.
In comparison to a place like Nashville, to be honest, Nashville felt pretty lighthearted.
I'm sure they got hoods, but I didn't see nothing.
Memphis is going down any and everywhere.
Memphis is going down any and everywhere, like anywhere, like anywhere.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
That's why you know what I'm saying?
You got to move smart in Memphis for real.
Like that's like that's what, growing up in Memphis, you know what I'm saying?
that shit taught me a lot of shit early,
you know what I'm saying?
Like, that shit taught me a lot of shit early,
but like,
anybody from Memphis,
you know what I'm saying?
They know, like,
it'd be, you know what I'm saying?
You got to,
you got, it'd be going down for real.
Like, but like, you know what I'm saying?
Mostly because of him.
Nah,
Nah, shit.
Rico spins the block is all over.
No.
He's filming you outside the 7-Eleven.
Hey, man,
it's,
it's niggas like that all around Memphis.
I ain't going to lie.
Like,
The mind that's the man.
Yeah, it's the bro.
It's so many out there.
Boy, like, what?
Like,
that's why they be shit.
That's why, that's why we so big in hip hop right now, I believe, bro,
because, like, it's just so much pain and so much trauma.
How much it hit you when Dolf got killed?
Man, bro.
I was, I was like, damn.
Like, I was like, I was fucked up.
Because that was a real hero to the city, right?
Yeah, hell yeah.

High school
High school.

I was still in middle school
I was in high school
I was still in middle school
I put him on Dau
I used to pull up
to the school
Burma Dau
like you know what I'm saying
and that shit
like he was
he was real deal
of fucking stable
especially for the
independent artists
like I mean
because he was independent
like real
independent
you know what I'm saying
and he
he made it to where he made it to
you know what I'm saying
and to see him like
you know what I'm saying
go back to the city
and that shit happened
like this shit just
just fucked up
I was just like, bro.
I have a weird memory.
I don't remember why,
but I remember we went to a Yogadi performance
at some point in our life, right?
Yeah.
And you were like hella tapped in
and you're pointing at people in Gotti's entourage
and being like, this is the dude who did this.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Actually, honestly, now that stuff I probably would know regardless,
but at the time you would put me on hell of games.
Yeah, no, like, no.
Nah, yeah, I'd be knowing for America.
Me for small or shit.
Yeah.
I'd be knowing all, all that.
Yeah, Memphis small to hell
Like, you know what I'm saying
Memphis, Memphis really small
So, man, it'd be like this
Like, if you, if you know
Like, in Memphis, if you don't know
somebody, you're gonna know their family member
You're gonna know somebody
You gonna know somebody, you gonna know somebody
