Yes, sir. We are back with another interview on the No Jumper skis. My name is Duna World and I'm right here with the two and only. I'm going to say the one only, but the two and only. The Yodies. How you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's up? What's up? What's up, man? What's up, man? What's up, man? Long overdue, man. We're fucking happy to be here, though, man. There's so many questions I have for you guys. You guys are just a very authentic group.

That's right. You guys are brothers. Yes. Real brothers. Not just the word brothers. Blood brothers, mom pops. From the womb to the tomb. Yes, sir. Do you ever get confused as twins? All the time.

All the time, unfortunately. Unfortunately, why? Because, man, you know what I mean? People gonna act like I ain't more handsomeness, man. I always say that this motherfuckers. Disrespect, God damn it. This motherfuckers that looks, I'm the talent. So I think he's fucking, he's starting to fucking catch up on weight.

So now more than ever, they people think we twins because you're getting fat on me. Yeah. Okay. That's, that's. And I'm losing weight, so we're starting to balance out. It's okay. My motivation to get back on that motherfucking trim meal because I'm starting to look more like this motherfucker right here.

And I see you slimming up. Man, I've been slimming up. Man, it's a process, bro. The first two, three months, it was easy. I was knocking shit down. Yeah. But then you start, you know, I fucking plateaued and shit with it. So right now I'm trying to figure out I'm doing like two of days.

I'm like only eating one meal and a half. But the fucking Cheetos them. No, no, no, but I could snack. I treat myself to a snack every once in a while. But like right now I haven't ate, had a busy morning, so I came straight for the hot chitos. Came straight for the fucking, I went into a little snack bar we have right here on a jumper. Got a little bag of chips, you feel me. Not too many calories, just a little small one, but after this I'm going to have a good night's little burrito.

And then after this, and then go home, chill, walk around, move, and then eat again, and then I'm going to be out on night. Not in a drinking way. But anyway, today's not about me. Today's about the yotees. Yeah, yeah. The Latinos doing crazy shit. Hell yeah. 100%.

Tell me about you guys growing up. Where'd you guys grow up? How was it growing up in the household of the young Yotis? Man, we grew up all over LA, man. Mostly like the South Bay though. Like when we were born, we lived in Lenox. Then we went to Moffitt. Dad, you know what I'm saying?

He was doing shit so we moved around a lot so they would buy shitty houses in the hood and fix them. So we grew up like we went to Moffitt, York Felton. We went on like, end up schooling Masatlan, Sina Loa from like kindergarten in the fifth grade. Really? Yeah. You guys went to school in and see my law? Yeah.

Yeah. And it's crazy when you think about it like, now he puts it like that, bro, we was really in like, fucking four different schools in like fucking the matter of like three years and shit. We was really just bouncing around everywhere and shit. And it's been like that like all our lives because like he said, our parents used to just buy broken homes and shit and flip them. You know what I'm saying? And real estate was early in your guys life. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

And then 2008 shit fucking happened when the market crashed and shit and shit hit my parents pretty hard and lost everything at that time. I don't know. I was eight. I definitely, my mom and dad definitely didn't know no, no, no fucking property. I just think maybe my mom had just probably, now she got to the States a little earlier, but she was like back and forth a lot. You're a lot younger though, too.

Yeah, yeah. So 2018 was like, what, a recession? 2008. 2008. 2008. The market crash. And that's around the time our pops got deported, not for the last time when he got deported and that's the first time it became serious.

Like he'd been deported our whole life too. But then he would always come being able to play. Yeah, it was easy. That time too was still easy. Yeah, crossing the border was definitely easier than it is now. But that time he got more, I don't want to say scared, but he was more cautious. So after 2008, like everything changed for our family a little bit. So, you know what I'm saying?

Like he used to do shit when we're in Mexico. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying. Shit we can't get two and two, but shit was, you know what I'm saying? Shit is different out there. Yeah, shit, we were on the up and up. He had a shrimp boat out there. We were like, but me and my brother were just like, we're so young that we just, all we knew is we had this big, ass, empty-ass house that, and my dad was always gone. So it was like, the experience when we lived in Mexico wasn't great. Like, when we used to visit, it was dope, but then when we lived there and went to school there and, like, we're Mexican, but in Mexico,

you're fucking might as well be white. So, like, they just treated us different. We're in this big-ass empty house. Mom's crying because dad is young, got paper. You know what I'm saying? And then shit went south out there. They wanted to kidnap us and all kind of shit. So then they ship us back to here.

My ship back, do you come back with mom and dad, or you just come back with mom and dad's safe? Nobody. No, we came back. It was me, my brother and my sister. You guys flew back. Yeah, I still remember. I still remember. I was probably like six years old at the time.

And they just pretty much put us on a plane. and then flew us back. And then I remember us staying, my mom's a twin. So we ended up staying that summer with my mom's twin for like three, four months, and HP when we came back. And that's for a Huntington Park. And then your mom came back.

Then they came back after like three, four months when they took care of whatever they had to take care of. And then we moved with my grandma in Hawthorne for like another six. Six months, finally. And then we moved to Hawthorne. And we pretty much been in Hawthorne from like, six, seventh grade and up. But before six, seventh grade, like...

It was everywhere. Tactics. Different country, all types of shit, yes, sir. So we really jumped off the porch and hot-th on up. Yeah, yeah. But really, like, after like sixth-seventh grade, when you guys are starting to become young man, that's when getting a cracking, the streets, you know, the streets. In LA, in, you're always going to run into some shit whether you try to avoid it and now, you guys jump off, you get cracking. What's the relationship with Mama Pop's like now?

Great. It's cool, man. Like, shit. We're fortunate enough. enough to grow with both our parents, you know what I'm saying, and seeing them being hustlers like that, it kind of rubbed off on us in a way, you know what I'm saying? Like the real estate shit, like me and my brother dibble and dab would now, learning game from our parents and shit. Now, we take that into consideration, learning that shit and fucking apply it to our day-to-day shit now. Yeah. What was high schools like for the Odies? We went on highthorn high and, you know what I'm saying? Like, we're the flyest motherfuckers

in high school. We've always been about being fly. Always. We had homies at Gang Bang, but we never subscribed to it. And being a Hotthorn, right, it's in the middle of the hood and the beach, right? So you get the Lenox, the Inglewood people, and then you, sometimes you get to some Elsa Gundo people maybe or the people in Hawthorne. So it's like you get this melting pot of people. So then you got homies from certain hoods and shit that you're affiliated with.

I got junked a couple times just being affiliated. Yeah, yeah, just walking home like, you're from here. From here, I'm like, no, I'm not. Like, where you from? I'm from, I'm, I'm walking home with the black homie. And then a fucking hood that I'm cool with people from the hood were like, nah, and they fucking jump me. I had to go back to the homie, like, oh, what's up with your fucking.

What's up with your boy? Yeah, like what the fuck? Like, got hit with bats and all that shit, but just brushed it off. Like, it was kind of regular. Like, especially growing up in Moffitt, bro. Like, I remember my first fight was probably like in first grade. Like, as far back as I could remember, I've been scrapping. Like, you always been fighting this shit.

Yeah. I was chubby too, you know, so motherfuckers thought like they could pick on me. The only difference is that I was down to scrap. So, and being that we moved a lot, I never subscribed to like friendship because I had my family. So friends, I never valued it. So whenever someone would try to act funny because I'm the new kid or whatever and they try to like flip on some shit, I was like, all right, well, what's up then?

Like, I'm down to scrap. Yeah, I'm down to scrap. But, yeah, never banged in nothing. And then how far are you guys apart in age? Two years. Two years. Okay. So you were, you're the older, so you would always have to like watch out for him type

of shit. Yeah, for sure. There's been some instances. You're the ass-old. You just have to back it up. You know, the little brother's shit, you know what I'm saying? And I remember back then I used to hoop so like I was real focused on, you know, being an athlete and shit.

But then I had homies that was in the streets, fucking hustling, fucking smoking weed and shit. And you know what I'm saying? I just started hanging out with them. I was like, man, fuck this sport shit. I ain't fin of making it in the NBA. So what the fuck am I wasting my time for? Decided to start getting me some money and fucking.

I didn't approve. He didn't approve, exactly. And I started smoking weed and shit. And then this. I started smoking weed before him actually. Oh shit. So he started tripping. Like, he was going off.

Like, hey, yo. Like, I remember he was with the homie Paul. He was like, stop hanging around my brother, bro. Like, fuck you, you're a bad influence on this fool. And then I had to check him like, hey, bro. It's not even him, bro. Like, I'm doing what the fuck I want. You know what I'm saying?

But it's just a big. brother looking after. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He could have went to college for show. He was a hooper, so you're nice. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm all right. I'm right. I'm a hooper.

I'm trash now for sure. I picked up a basketball in like, fucking two years probably. But then, you know, smoking it went to, you know, when you want to be flotting you get a certain age, then your parents stop buying you shit. So, you know, my fuck starts selling weed and shit. So like, just being like flies always been in our like DNA almost. So like in the high school, end of my high school, mid of his, that's when the trees started coming in.

And we would just do it to buy sneakers. Like it wasn't like, I'm trying to get rich or Bill Choppo. It's like, nah, I'm trying to be fly. Fuck some bitches. I was like, you guys, when I first met you guys, I was like, damn, these motherfuck got a fucking leopard hair. This motherfuckers was weirdos. Nah, nah, no, because I grew up with rockers, my parents are rockers.

So a lot of the shit that people probably thought was weird. I didn't think you were weird at all. I was like, oh yeah, I'm fucking a lot of this shit. But most definitely, it was different to see in the LA seen the way you guys dressed. Like, you always had like some rocker shit on some shit with like spikes on it. And right now you got a fucking Betty Boop. Betty Boop hat and shirt. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like, yeah. And Swaggy, but what was Swaggy the young Yotis? Like, what was y'all rocking? What was y'all not rocking? Two-X tall pro clubs. Yeah. We grew up kind of in that era where big clothes was still like.

But it was swaggy, right? Yeah. You had to swag it out. two ex-pro club with. Some probably fucking, some, uh, some da-da's with the spinner on the side. We did have some dada with the spinner, but just like babes, like J's, jays for show. Bates for so. Fucking white forces.

We still dress similar except it's more fits the size, but we'll do oversized sometimes still. But just fashion is like a self-expression, bro. One day, like you said, I might look like a rocker today. I'm fucking, whatever. I don't know what you call this, but. It's fly, though. It's fly.

Yeah. Nah, y'all definitely always, you guys always toning up and not. It's like you guys never disappoint when it comes to the way you guys come dressed. But also when you see two tall Latinos, which is rare, you know, you guys are too big Mexicans, dog, like, yeah. Because a lot of me, like, you know, we know the Hamis Cyprus. Cyprus is tall from Mexican, but you guys are tall from Mexican. Yeah, yeah.

That's great. Because the Hummings and Daniel, they're like, what, six feet? Are they? Cyprus who? Cyprus, Moreno. He's not six feet. Like five. Five nine.

Five nine. I thought you guys were the same height. Nah, Cyprus is taller than me. Cyprus 5'10. You come off taller than, we like six. Yeah, yeah. We're six one. So Cyprus.

Denner, y'all size? Five, eight. Denner is probably close to our size, yeah. But he's just skinnier. Now, Cyprus, maybe. No, actually, actually, you're right. I don't know why it's, maybe just an inch taller than me. Maybe that's why I thought that.

Cyprus isn't a tall. But that's why Cyprus only wears shoes with platforms. Yeah. What fucking wears high heels? He puts the fucking inslaw in a shoe. Oh, shit. I thought, damn, I'm tripping. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But Dennis is more to your size. Yeah, he just, he's just a little skinnier. Yeah. But yeah, but yes, when you see two motherfuck, especially like, I remember when I first met you guys, Cyprus introduced me and shit like that and everybody was like, it was kind of COVID. It was COVID, I guess, when I met you. Yeah, yeah. It was in his little small studio.

Yeah, it was in a little small studio and it was always hot. Yeah, yeah. And I met you, yeah, most definitely when you guys always, you guys always caught people's attention when y'all walked in the room. And then I remember like you guys always were like, you know what I mean? And then you guys were also known for being co-signed by the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being signed to whack and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But before we get into all of that, how is it fucking, how do the Yodies start rapping? How does the name Yodies come about? How do they individually you guys are rapping and stuff like that. Oh, shit, motherfuckers just got high one day. I was probably like 14 years old at the time. And shit, he remembers the story of us losing a basketball game and then saying, and fuck this shit rolled up a fucking blunt and then spark that bitch up, got faded and started freestyling.

Yeah. And from there, man, like anything we did, we just always felt we were nice at, you know what saying? And at the time, we were probably trashed, but we was just like, yo. Niceer than average. Yeah, exactly. The homies told us we were dope, so we believed it. But, because I never smoked with them, like I said, I didn't approve.

But the second we did, something happened where literally, bro, like, my thing, my homies started beatboxing and then one, we just got. One of us started rapping, talking shit about the team we just lost to. And then next team, though. How'd you guys look bad? Or like a game winner type of. It was like the playoffs, championship game in some league in Bethune Park. You ever heard of Bethune Park?

Yeah. On Hooper and Engage. Engage. Oh, actually, you know what's crazy? You know what's crazy? You know what's crazy? My homie, RIP, that's where he passed away. Oh, yeah?

Like a year ago, he passed away. LRVUK. Yeah, yeah. The homie ended up there. But yes, yes, yes. Yeah. All right for you to homie. Yeah, yeah.

I had a banner up there too for years, man. That's a grimy part, though. Shout out whoever kick in there, but it's a grimy park. I remember when we started hooping there was super grimy. Super grimy. And then fucking Baron Davis came through and fucking remodeled the whole park because he used to hoop there too. And I had a banner up there for winning the championship for fucking cool.

Crazy that Baron Davis did that. Now Baron Davis low key fucks with us too. Yeah. Shout out to Barron Davis. Okay. So what happens? You guys are in this league. You guys are the only Latino.

But it's like the only Latino team. The only Latino team. Balling. Balling. Balling. But you guys are in the playoffs. Round one, round two. Championship.

Championship game. Yeah. Lose. We won two, though, in that league. And this was like our last year, because, again, we started getting into more. A stupid shit. Yeah. So we're still kind of nice, though.

So we're dabbling with balls still trying to be athletes and trying to do whatever else. You know what I'm saying? And we lose. And it was just a tipping point in our life where we said fuck sports and went the other way. Park is blunt. Yeah, yeah. Put a beat on, spark this blunt. If maybe it was our calling.

We can't who, we're gonna rap. Yeah. For sure. But even then, right, you didn't see too many Latinos rapping at the time. We're a little older than you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was still kind of like, I felt weird. Like, am I even supposed to be rapping?

Because we ain't never seen nobody that looked like us, like, behind the microphone, you know what I'm saying? It was, well, at least not in a morse. Because obviously there was, like, the Chicano rap. But you guys are talking about, like, different type of rap. Because you guys are more, I feel like, it's, it gives me more, you. East Coast vibes, right? More East Coast vibes, more lyricism. Yeah.

Which I'm not saying other genres weren't lyricists, but like I'm saying like you guys were attacking it in a different way. You guys wanted to, obviously you guys were swagging a different way and shit like that. Yeah, we always were attracted to like the bars and even the West Coast artists we like have bars like game. You know, Kendrick fucking even Cypress Hill, right? Like we always gravitated to them somewhat because they were like, it didn't matter that they were Latinos, like, they impacted in a major way. And it really, from the West Coast,

it hasn't been done on a Cypress Hill level since Cypress Hill. Let's keep it a buck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we wanted to be able to display that, man, we can hang with all of them, with the best of them. We could rap, bar for bar with it. 100%. Okay, so then you guys start rapping. When's the first time you guys get in the studio? We bought our own studio immediately. Like, as soon as we thought about being rappers, like probably a week later, we went a guitar center, about Q-base. It's a fucking program that's probably not even around no more. Fruitie loops to make beats. My cousin Mike was making beats. So we had the producer, we engineered ourselves. And yeah, so we became almost in-house immediately. And every time we would go to studios, we never liked it. Because, you know, back

then, studios didn't really mix your shit. You just recorded and you got a raw vocal back then, and we're like, this shit sounds terrible. Like, yeah. And we're spending money at the time, which we, again, we're, you know, selling weed to pay for stuff. So we were never, I wasn't bawling by any stretch. So I was not about the paid these motherfuckers $300 for a session where I can just do it at the house. And we started mixing until this day. We mixed and master most of our shit because of that. Wow.

Okay, okay. And then when does it start getting serious? We got in a group called C&C where motherfuckers were just spitters, right? This is where we developed the spitter thing. Because when we first started, believe it or not, we were young, so we were just about being fly. So we weren't really spitters like that. Yeah, because you guys now have a balance. You guys are known for like the bars.

Yeah. But now, but you're talking about now, this, this, this, this, before it was just more swaggy. Yeah, at first. 10 vibes, the game vibes a little more slower and mellow. Maybe you're more fucking dumb than that. Like, our first song ever was called Make It Bounce. Like, it was probably like some. Bangor.

Yeah, like, we're literally. I still don't take this shit serious, bro. Man, fuck all this shit. I'm just living, man. To some degree. To some degree, nah. He's my day-to-day manager right here. If it wasn't for this food, bro, I wouldn't not be doing this shit.

It's like, fuck the interview with Duno. Not even with Duno. Fuck interviews with everybody. I fucking hate this shit, bro. Because I don't know what type of time I'm going to be on, bro. Like, sometimes I want to talk. Sometimes I don't want to talk. You know what I'm saying?

But, you know, it's balance. With you, bro. You know, it's always always. authentic, bro. Like, we meet up, bro. We chop it up. Like, we're bros and cousins and shit, you know what I mean? But sometimes with this shit comes with just pulling shit out of your ass,

like, you just got a seeming enthusiastic. And it's like, bro, like, I'm going through some real shit. Like, I don't want to sit here and fucking podcast. I'm sure you go through that too. I definitely sometimes don't want to talk to your motherfuckers. I definitely just don't want to talk to another. Exactly. You've got to fucking figure it out.

But that's your job now, so it's trickier. But they're kind of be like, fool. You got to call over there. You have a sketched. I'm like, I feel you. But at the end of the day, it's good for you because look where you come. Yes. So with this fool, even, it's like, like you said, it's not a lie.

It's like, I'm his day-to-day. I have the Texas fool. It's like pulling teeth to do shit with this fool sometimes. But it's also a balance, right? Because then there's some shit we shouldn't do when he'll be like, nah, fuck that. Like, nah, why are we going to do that? Fuck that.

Let's not do that. Or even, like, walking in somewhere, like, there was a thing we were performing. It was last minute. Cypress just hit us. And then I'm over here standing in a line. like some regular folk. And this motherfucker's like, what the fuck are you doing? Like, it doesn't fucking grab me.

There's police. There's like hell of security, bro. I got a strap on me. You were there too, I think. It was during COVID. It was like a big ass warehouse party. We weren't set to perform, but we did anyway. Cyprus kind of forced us to perform.

It was mid-COVID, bro. And I'm telling me, we walked through every cop, every security, every line. Because this motherfucker was just like, bro, what the fuck are you doing? Just standing here waiting to call somebody. Like, grab your fucking nuts. You're the fucking artist and walk in his bitch. So it's like a balance. Yeah, most definitely, which I've seen a lot.

Yeah. But, okay, so because I want to, because I have a story that I want you guys to tell me. Yeah. Okay, so that happens. You guys get into this group and this group, like, how do you get into this group? Do you got to like spit them a 16 or what the fuck the vibe? I met him through one of the homies. Just you just meet people like through this music shit.

Yeah. Just, you know. And they were nice. And network and shit. And just through being in different studios, we just linked up with the homies. And I feel like it was an important stage for us because it, they helped us develop the, Sharper. Yeah, it was steel, sharp and steel, you know what I'm saying? Like, that helped us fucking become nicer. Yeah, we're 17, 16, and they were fucking 20, already in their 20s,

and they were nice, bro. To this day, they're some of the nicest Latinos I've ever, I've ever met. Yeah, but nobody knows them because, you know, life got in the way, they got kids, they got a good job, they're making bread now, but it's something completely different. Yeah, yeah. And then me and him kept going to be. going, but we created Coyote like two years ago. End of 2019, we created Coyote. And that's when shit started clicking, weirdly, because as Coyote, we never dropped anything, but this fool came up with the name because our Pops got deported again.

But this time, we all got rated by the DEA. And fucking around, was it 2011, 2012? Because of your Poverty, we're a little older because of us, but because of my Pops' history. So there's a story, bro. So my dad has a history, right? He got caught for it when he was semi-young. We're kids, the Mexico time.

We're really young. And after that, he became straight-edge. He was a law-abiding citizen, just construction, trying to make it in America legally, right? But again, after you got a point in 2008, she got a little rocky. We started doing stuff selling weed and shit like that, and then started rapping in our studio was in our house. We got a lot of traffic. Then some of the homies started pushing other stuff.

We started, but minor, again, we never were in with no chop-o shit. Just minor stuff to buy kids, buy food, go out, be dumb. And fucking, my dad had his real estate friend, his friend was, his brother was a cop. And his cop brother told his brother to tell my dad, like, hey, I don't know what those kids are doing, but whatever they're doing, their house is under investigation. But we became under investigation because my dad went to visit his old friend that still heavy in it. And he was under investigation.

Then they see my pops. They pull up his paperwork. And then they go to our house to see all these youngsters. We're in and out the crib. So it looks crazy. It looks crazy. We're in and out the crib. But we just really in there bringing artists through,

you know what I'm saying? Fucking bitches. Yeah, it looks crazy. So it looks like a trap. On top of that, at the barber shop, at the barbershop, we had a couple of homies there trapping out the shop. So then we had, because we worked on Century and Myrtle

and Englewood, like, so we spent a lot of time there. So then they started adding pieces that weren't necessarily pieces. They had some legitimacy, but nothing at the level we got rated at. So then we get rated. I'm talking about SWAT. When you guys get raided, who's the house? Me and my cousin Mike, this food, a homie manny, my mom and dad.

Four in the morning, the ironic part is we were at the studio. We get home at like three. And then I went to pick some up that I let my homie borrow. And good thing I didn't, because that would have been like the only thing they would have really like, because we had like some, a little bit of weed. But at that point, we had already like decided like fuck that shit, right? Like, mind just the little stuff we're doing. Like, it wasn't none to the point where they found nothing, bro. They found a gang of a gang of empty baggies.

Yeah, bags of weed. Baggies are the found scales. But they can't really prosecate you from that. Yeah. Nothing legitimate enough. Yeah. But Pops was illegal. They took his ass.

And this time they're like, if we can't. you in here within seven years, you're doing like fad time, real time. So that was a hard seven years. I still remember that day when they raided us because it was him, my cousin, and the homie manny that was sleeping downstairs. And I'm sleeping upstairs. And I just remember like, here and get on the floor, open the fucking door. And I'm like, in and out of my sleep, like, damn, they got that fucking TV on there. How is a motherfucker. They're watching cops crazy. Yeah. I was like, woke, up like, damn, they got that motherfucking TV on too loud. And I just fucking roll back, I roll back over to

like knock back out. And I do knock back out. Boom. Knock that bitch down or whatever. I'm still like, I'm back in La La Land. Like, I'm sleeping and shit until I hear my name because at this point, they're telling my mom and all them, they got them hemmed up on the corner already. They're like, who else is in the house? Who else is in the house? I'm back knocked out upstairs. Heavy sleeper. Heavy sleeper. And they have my tallyettes. They're like, who's back? Who's back? Who's still? still upstairs. And then they're like, Ricky, it's Ricky.

And then they're like, Ricky, get down now. And I'm hearing my name at this point. Now I wake up like, oh, shit, this is a fucking, this is serious. This shit is a raid. There's a raid. There's a motherfuckeruckers downstairs. I'm like, oh, shit, I'm just rubbing the fucking sleep out of my eyes and shit. And I'm like, oh, shit.

Here I come. Here I come. I'm half naked, got my draws on, fucking one sock. Dick out. One sock, one foot out. And I'm coming. I'm coming. And that sounded wrong.

But yeah, I'm like halfway down the stairs. These motherfuckers grab me, pull me down like eight stairs, bust my fucking, I felt like I dislocated my shoulder. I probably did. These motherfuckers start grabbing my balls, my dick, up my ass. I'm like completely violated, bro. And yeah, that was that story, me waking up when we were getting fucking raided. And then the fucking cops here are mic set up and then they're like,

oh, now you're gonna make music. You can make a song about this now. Yeah. Hey, man. And there's all three BD. No, this is like D-EA, SWAT, ICE. I don't know who the fuck the fucking... It was DEA.

They had ice in that motherfucker? Yeah, it was... Oh, because they heard that. They blocked the whole block, the helicopter. It's because we were part of a 13-house raid. Like, there was, it was a big bust in the South Bay of big, big people, and that's, we were a part of that. But because of just the fact that your father's going to go see a friend. Allegedly.

Allegedly, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. So that's what happened. And I remember they had us all lined up. handcuffed, they turn our house into the tornado, and then they're pulling out the records, photos of stuff, right? And then the whole time my pops like, hold on, the whole time my dad's like, what the fuck did y'all do?

Like, what the fuck is y'all in here really doing? And then they pull up a picture in here. And it's my dad's picture when he's like 30 and we're like, what the fuck did you do, mother girl? And then he cut a big ass fart. Is dead silence, bro? We're all hemmed up. And they asked us like a serious question.

And my dad's just like, Let that different. Which is all right there, hell yeah. These motherfuckin' and they put me aside. They found hella bullets in my room. They're like, where's the pistol? We found this, that, d'all, but. This is a closed case, too.

It's nothing. Yeah, yeah, this is, we can talk about it because it happened, right? Like, this is already paperworked all. Nothing happened, bro. So, yeah, and then my pops got deported. So hence here comes coyote, the name coyote. Coyote.

because this motherfucker, we had a homie where... Wait, wait, let me just talk about the fart real quick. Let me talk about this fart right. So, like, when they raise you, they have a guy with a camera. He's filming everything, right? With the cops. And so they got us all lined up in the house. Including your mom.

My mom's just like, you know, my mom is the most straight-edge, square fucking person you will ever meet. She's an angel, bro. So she's so ashamed right now. head down trying to cover herself. You dumb asses his laughing. They got us all lined up, right, in the living room. And here, the dude's got the camera like this, and he's fucking going through all of us

like that. Once the camera hits my dad, he just goes, loud as fuck, let that bitch rip. And we just started dying a laughter, and he was like, fuck these motherfuckers. This is my house. Imagine a half-naked. My dad is boxers, no socks, shirtless, belly out. Imagine a Mexican-ass dad from Sina Loa, bro.

It's fucking, you know what I'm saying? Like, my dad's Mexican as fuck. Have a little deal. Yeah, bro. Like, that shit was a crazy experience, boy. And even it's crazy. Like, at the time, we didn't grasp the severity of it because, again, we're used to certain stuff like that because Pops been in and out of stuff.

But then when the darkness set once, you know, Pops is really in Mexico and TJ in a shithole just because he wants to be close to his wife and his kids. And it really said like a darkness in our family where like all this shit, that's why like the dope dealing shit, like we never like talking about it just in a... A lot of scandalized. Y'all seen nothing. Never like talking about it and it's just a glorification manner because a lot of darkness came from that shit, right? And even now when we talk about it, we can brag about it and shit like that. But when you dig into the layers, it's like, nah, shit really got fucked. The uncle died because of drugs, like two uncles. So it's like we really try to tap it out in our story. I feel we haven't tapped fully because we haven't released the project yet because the fucking label hasn't been doing a job.

But we about to just say fucking and do it ourselves. Okay. Talk yourself. But so the story hasn't been told in a way. So sometimes when people see us now, fast forward to the Yodies now, we cool. We're not really like, you know what I'm saying? Like people are like, oh, they probably think the stories that we say are exaggerated. But it's like, bro, trust me, like the stories ain't exaggerated.

And that's what we're in the right place for y'all to tell you all story, man. So you guys come up with the name Yodies, fucking Rick comes up with the name Yodies. You guys start rapping again 100% right? Yeah. This pops back in the States at this point? No. No. And okay.

So you guys are rapping, doing your thing. Still not to this day. Yeah. Okay, yeah. My mom's in Mexico, too. Actually, in T.J. too. Yeah. And then how does the game recognize you guys?

I remember, again, we created Coyote. And we started making that. Because again, a coyote, right? Yeah, coyote. Yeah. We got to do what we got to do. But we created some videos like that go with the image of being unapologetically Mexican but still wrapping our fucking ass off. And Rick came up with, tell how you came up with the idea for the name first.

Shit, man. I mean, it's just symbolic. Like, you know what I mean? What a coyote does is bring his people over here. And it was just me trying to like think of something like a bridge two cultures that we grew up with. You know what I'm saying? And when you think about hip hop and you think about Mexican-Americans, that's who the fuck we are. You know what I mean?

And I just wanted to come up with some symbolic that just meant bridging that gap within the two cultures. You feel me? On top of the literal shit we were going through. On top of the literal shit, like really living through this shit, you know what I mean? So we create like two, three videos on brand. Never released anything, bro. And the homie, Marcus Black, was showing people. Game was the first person that saw it.

And he FaceTime me out of nowhere, like 12. Keep in mind, bro, Coyote don't exist, right? But we have these videos and these songs and we're, I don't know, like, there's something there. So he hit a sub. He's like, man, like, love y'all shit. This food market just showed me. Like, we're going to take it to the next level.

I'm going to take y'all on. I'm about to perform here, here, here. Like, he immediately starts going there. He wanted to sign us originally, I think. But, you know, being signed an artist isn't always the best decision. The best decision, yes. But we start going to studio sessions with him. We vibe with them immediately.

Somehow it gets to a lot of Atlantic records, a lot of places, bro. And they were all interested, but they wanted to see the numbers. They're like, we love this. What's their numbers like? And then the hummies like, well, we literally just created it. They're like, so they never released anything. It's just an idea. And then Wack, it came across with Wack.

And he liked the fact that he's like, oh, we're going to get it from the dirt. Fuck it. Like, so we never attempted our own shot at Kiyos. because we almost got signed before we even knew what the fuck was happening. Like we started getting recognition. Our whole career of dropping music never worked. And then all of a sudden we create this brand and we never dropped anything. And it worked like immediately, right?

Next thing you know, within two months, we're on tour with Blueface. And then we're on tour of game, 2020. But yeah, so we created it mid-2019. By the end of 2019, we got signed a whack without dropping. in any music. Damn, that's crazy. That's like a quick turnaround overnight type shit, huh? Yeah.

What it may seem like, yeah. I'm cool for fuck. Take one for the culture, I'll take one for the culture. I'll take one for the culture. Donge for breakfast, my boy. They're one for the culture. They don't get one, though. But yeah, man, that's how we landed with Wack.

And then Coyote, essentially, people started knowing us, and people didn't really know why. You know what I'm saying? Like, why do we know who the fuck they are, even though we never really did anything? really did anything like music wise, but little do they know we've been we've been grinding for a long time as other names and it was just a different brand and we were trying to do different things. But yeah man, Kate got into Wack 100's hands 2019, top of 2020. We're all over Europe

moscitting fucking kissing fucking babies and fucking, you know what I'm saying, killing it. We were killing it so much. Look like game before we went he was like, look bro, I brought biggest artist you could think about the West Coast. I'm talking about top dogs, right? He's like, I brought everybody on tour with me in Europe, and they have all been booed once. At least once, right? He's like, so if you guys get booed, he's like, don't take it personal.

And we were on a two-month tour, so we're like, I bet. Like, we didn't think nothing of it. Like, yeah, we've been doing this long time. Yeah, fuck it, I'll take that was with it. Yeah. Yeah. But we get there. I see now, I bet.

Let's see if, you know what I mean? This motherfucker is an animal like on stage, right? I've seen it. I have the story I want you to tell me. Oh, yeah, the term of the shit show. Hey, look, look. The shit show. We got like 10 more minutes.

I got like three personalities. It's the cool, calm, collective motherfucker. The one right now. The wrong right now. You know what I'm saying? It's the motherfucker that thinks too much, self-doubt, little insecure sometimes. That's my least favorite.

And it's the motherfucker on demon time. I've only seen. Walking around with the empty bottle of Don J. and just down for whatever and whatever. I've only seen cool, common, collective, and demon. I never see that one, which I don't want to meet because I love this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, everybody got that love. I mean, I definitely have my day, right. I'm like, fuck it. Yeah, yeah, you should start, you know, the self-doubt. Yeah, most definitely. But then you, that's why I said. It's my least favorite one. Okay, so they're so, right?

So we go on tour, hold on before you get this, because this is why we were that. We're going to this European tour, bro, like, and we're smashing every night, bro. I'm talking about, my spitt. Yodi's, Zero music out. No one knows who we are.

But we're over here, mosh-pitting, stage-diving. They start singing our songs. So game makes us a part of his set, too, to help him mosch with the crowd. So we're performing not only our set every night. We come out for game set. Started off like 10 minutes, then he would stretch it for like 20. So we're mosh-pitting for a long time. So then 2020 happens.

We come back. The first show back is the shit show, right? That's the Rose Current. Yeah. The one I'm part of. Yeah. No, no. So hum me's a part of it, yeah.

So we're used to this energy from Europe, right? And we're like, man, we just killed two months in a row, like this fucking little show. And you know, we came out, tag team bells, no shirts, leather jackets, fucking... Fucking fur. So we're on entertainer mode, right? We're not in L.A. L.A. mode. We're an entertainer mode.

Which, which me personally, fuck L.A. mode, I'm down for the entertainment. Yeah. But that crowd, as you know, was not ready for it. On top of that... Nor do they want to be ready for it. We killed the bottle of Hennessy each. I ain't done blowing a long time. That night I decided to do some blow.

Bro, you guys killed the Henny bottle each. You feel they're crazy. And we're in there, I'm straight, man. And then we go in guns blazing like we're in Europe, right? So we're ready to entertain a crowd that... That doesn't want to be entertained. Yeah. They wanted to sit there vibe to the artist they know and understand the third.

But usually when we're not that fucked up, we're good at doing an audible and like, all right, let's readjust. But we're so fucked up. we double down. Like now we're mad that thing fucking with the fucking. And then you guys fall. Who fall? Yeah, I fell.

Yeah, I fell. Hey, yo, we had some mics that had the chords. Me and him are crossing each other. We keep tripping over each other over the cord because we're- That shit was so fucking. I'm fucked up. I got these dark-ass shades, right? And this motherfucker knocks my cord off.

So it's my time to start spitting. And my mic's not even on, right? So I'm mad. I turn around. I look at Cyprus. I throw the microphone at that foot. Like, man, fuck. this show. Like, by that time I walk out, like, fuck this. It was a complete shit show, bro.

Shit show. I had to apologize to it, like, my bad for throwing a mic at you, bro. It wasn't even your fault. This motherfucker tripped over my cord, and I'm too fucked up to realize that shit. I see, I seen you guys the next day. And I was like, what's up? You were like, no, no, don't know. Just leave it alone. Leave it alone. Full Cypress, FaceTime me the next day. Just laughing, bro. We were like, me, Callie's part of the show with Big. He's like, bro, the Yotees had the right energy the wrong timing. It was like this, well, I felt so embarrassed this because I remember Vic before, because the first Rosecrans show got canceled, right?

Yeah, yeah, because the COVID. He had us opening the show and I was offended. Like, damn, I just did two months in Europe. Like, granted, the Yotis got one song out, so I kind of get it, right? But at the same time, I was like, what the fuck? But then we did the Rosecrans, it was something, don't come to LA, like the recorded live session, and then he's seen us. He's like, oh, now, y'all, you're too good.

I'm gonna put y'all. He bumped us damn near right before Bravo or whatever. So then to get bumped and drop the ball, like I was, that was the most embarrassing moment as a live performing. But I feel like it's like a, I think it was funny. When you're documentary, I thought this is a great story. But I also, one thing I can say about you guys that you guys are one of the best performers I've seen.

And you guys know me. I'm real. No, for sure. You feel me? Like, even you guys are even part of. Yeah, you guys were even part of Duno and the Hommies tape. Yeah. Which we still got to.

It's just, motherfucker's busy podcasting, but I brought you guys out for the PsychoROM show. Yeah. And that was nice. I feel like I had to do that. Yeah, man. When we was writing down my set, go ahead, go, go, go, go. We were writing down my set, I was like, okay, I got to host this, bring this artist out. And you know, the crowd is older, but they know who I am.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But I have five minutes before sick jacking and the psych around come out. Yeah. I'm like, what could I do to stand out? And with exactly what I did, I was like the motherfucking yo-d. Hey. Someone just hit us up yesterday because of that show.

Someone was like, man, I've seen you at the cycle realm, shit. They brought something else up, but he's like, that's when I got put up on you. I was like, oh, shit. Yeah, and then I feel like the crowd at first was kind of like, you feel me? They've been waiting there for a long time, but I feel like when they seen you guys like, too, too, like, because you guys did Acapella shit, you guys always do. And then, you know, sick jacking in the cycle room. They're bars.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for me, it's real bars and shit. Yeah. So when they heard you guys spent the bars, I thought it was, I thought it was dope. I thought it was dope seeing you guys. Yeah, people get a little took it back when we. pull up, but we come with that energy. They look at how you're driving. That's what it is. And fucking, they think you're going to rap like,

exactly. Yeah, what up. And mind you, it's a fucking cycle round concert, you know what I'm saying? So it's gritty. Yeah. It's gritty. You need the fucking black hoodie, you know what I'm saying? Dark colors type shit. Ugly dickies.

I think that day I came out with a fucking pink shirt. You came out and know you had a green pants. And green pants. And then, and then. Yeah. I was up there on some Jay Balvin type shit. Yeah. And then you, you know what I'm saying?

And then you had the crazy hair. Yeah. So when they saw you guys at first, but then the beep came out, do, do, do. Shout out lady, she was DJing for you. Yeah. Yeah, lady was DJ. I just don't like taking no for an answer. Yeah, no, most definitely.

I'm up there and I'm looking motherfuckers dead in the eyes. Like, bitch, you're going to feel this. And the homie told us, my bad. The homie was like, why the fuck y'all bring fashion to the underground? And I'm like, because it's what it is like. No, but I feel like, because even after I was with the homie Ron, the homie Ron's the one that plugged me in, yeah, jacket.

And he was like, He's like, that was a good idea. Because I felt like even when you guys did the go Yody, go Yody, go and in the crowd, all of fucking, the Fox Theater was like, go, you know, I was like, oh, okay, they fucked to them. And then when you guys, a lot of people left the legends, there were some legends in there. People left the crowd and there were, crowds, and y'all left, they was like, yeah. Obviously they knew Shackaram was coming up, it was the last one, but I felt like you

got the attention quick, you know what I mean? And I made sure to be up there with you guys walk around, but I was, I made sure to be up there with you guys walk around, but I feel like y'all killed that shit. Thank you, man. Y'all men for the stage, bro. You know, just certain music isn't for everybody, but I feel like people adapt, bro. I feel like you guys are great at adapting. Like, I think sitting, I think putting you guys on City of Angels,

even though it's kind of more like a Boobab beep, I feel like you guys still kind of made it more swaggy. Bounder. Boom bat is the foundation, man. That's what you learn. Exactly. Once you learn the boom bat, you can drift off and go anywhere. Exactly.

So we try to balance it, bro, and shit. But at the end of day, the core is the rap stuff. But when it comes to performing, like, even when we walk in rooms and stuff like that, like, the most dangerous thing someone could be aware of is, like, their own power, right? So I know our power, we're visual artists. I tell people all the time, like, yeah, our music is dope. But when people see us, like, even like, I'll say some shit, bro, fuck it. Like, Atlantic was the first one was interested, right, Dallas, right?

But he never met us. He just saw the videos and Santa Third. The second he met us, fast forward, 2021, we were already signed, though. The second he met us, bro, like, this motherfucker pulled us to the side, and he was like, I want to sign y'all right now. What's up? What I got to do? And then we're like, like, we already had a situation, you know what I'm saying?

But we still keep it cool. I love Dallas and everything he's doing with everybody over there. But when people meet us, it's a little different. Like, even when they see our videos, it's a little different. No, most definitely, I've been there for a video. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to you. Yeah, yeah.

They had me in the hot sun and hotthorn, you guys. 8 in the morning. I was early. They was late. No, you were like 30 minutes late, but we were even later. Yeah, they were even late. Because everybody was late. But yeah, but look, these two have to be, we kind of have to wrap it up out of the interviews.

But these two right here probably have to be some of the most creative people I know. And I've told them this off camera, so it's not like I'm gaslighting the homies because we're here right now. But me and the yotees, me and we, how many times that we had conversation and we at Cypress Studio 14? three, four hours just talking about how we could, I could, you'll be like, oh, do know, maybe you should do this. And I'd be like, oh, you know what this is hard. Or I talk to Callie or, hey, Callie, make sure we just want to see each other win. Yeah, yeah, you're like, hey, bro, make, I was like, when, I'm telling you, when I got to

strike around shit, I was like, I got to bring the Yodies. Yeah. And I was like, got to bring the yodies. I'm like, the, I was like, we got the new office. I know jump, I'm like, I got to make sure I bring the yodys on this motherfucker. Appreciate it. Yeah, yeah. There's so much more I wish we could talk about, but we're definitely going to run it back.

But please give them your individual's IG. I know you're out of the individuals, you got the IG's, you feel me, the combined one. Yeah, yeah, well, the only IG that really matters is C-Y-O-R-N-R-E-N-R-H-I-H-I-R-E. Expect a lot of music from us, you know what I'm saying? We got a song dropping next Friday with TrueCard called Put It On Baby. The week after that, we got a song with Draco about to drop. I got a song with Donnie C-E-B-A-L-L-A. Then we got the song with the homie Simba.

Our family's the feed, man. Yeah. And we keep the name going. Like, because even, like I said, bro, with 2021, people knew us,

but they didn't know why. You know what I'm saying? we were trying to play the politics correctly and wait for the label and do this and do that. But at the end of the day, like, you got a show motherfuckers that you got what it takes. So we got so much in the vault, bro. We got enough shit to go to 2025. So, um, and drop every week type of shit, you know what I'm saying? Like the shit we drop it now, like we been had it, bro.

We've been had this shit. But we try to, we try to play the role and try to play, be team players. But being team players sometimes fucks you in the ass, you know what I'm saying? So we're done with that shit. We're grabbing our nuts and we're doing what we gotta do. So whack, whenever you're ready, man, hit us up, man. We're ready too, man. What's up, man?
