No Jumper, coolest podcast on the world.
And today we got the one and only dope bezy.
Oh, really?
On the podcast.
How you feeling, man?
I'm feeling excellent, man.
How are you, man?
I'm excellent.
Yeah, back at work, Monday.
Yeah, Monday, man.
Had a little scare last week.
Thought I might have COVID for a few days, but beat that.
Oh, you're cool.
Yeah, I didn't.
You show?
I was around my mom, and they thought that she had it, and then she didn't have it.
So then I'm like, well, what the fuck am I worried about?
I feel fine.
No, for sure.
You know.
I just make a show because I don't think you're six feet away from it.
No, yeah.
We're not that distant.
But we'll be all right.
You were probably in the strip club last night if I had to guess.
Yeah, I probably just got that shit the other night.
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if you were in the strip club last night.
When's the last time you were in a strip club?
Day before yesterday?
Day before yesterday.
That's why I came out of her for where I got booked at the doghouse.
So if you want a performance as a rapper these days, the regular ticketed shows ain't really working,
but the clubs and the strip clubs are more of an option?
Yeah, for sure.
Makes sense.
That's what's going on right now?
So what happened last time we did the interview of that shit
the audio got fucked up or something, right?
Did the audio get fucked?
I don't remember.
It was like three years ago.
That's all I know.
Yeah, man.
And I'm pretty sure we fucked the audio up.
So it's online, but it's not as good as it.
So we're going to make sure this audio not fucked up.
This audio is great.
We're actually, we're 100% since we started doing podcasts here.
We never lost the audio once.
Beautiful.
So let's go back a little bit.
Tell us a little bit about the early days of dough boy.
The early days of doughboy, man.
As far as what?
Which dope boy you want?
You're upbringing.
I just want to know about that.
Yeah, you want to know the upbringing in the streets,
or you want to know about the early music day,
what you want.
Let's go streets and then we can transition into music
since I know you do both.
You're very blessed in both games.
Yeah, no, for sure.
But now I grew up in the streets of Cleveland,
East Cleveland and Beazette, Nose Avenue.
Yeah, you know, I'll come straight out of the trenches,
is one of the poorest cities in America.
I think we is, the poorest city in America, a matter of fact.
Really?
Yeah.
Poorest city in America is Cleveland.
No, East Cleveland.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's serious.
So it was rough.
Yeah, definitely.
All bandos.
Really?
Every street.
All bandos.
What, this is just all the businesses left the area, so then you're just left with, like,
shitloads or abandoned areas and stuff?
Yeah.
It's fucked up out there.
Big potholes, big bandos.
I'm about to start buying.
back the community though really yeah no dead ass that's the goal are yeah makes sense where
would you go first though you buy like housing or would you buy houses individually i'm gonna start
because you know the houses out there they're so cheap yeah like like you probably get a house
out there for a thousand dollars dead ass get a house for like a thousand dollars probably put like
20,000 in the house yeah sell that motherfucker for 40 and 50 there you go and just keep doing that shit
like that probably about 10 houses and do that that's a real hustle yeah fuck all this rapping shit
Okay, but so as a kid, how many brothers and sisters, and do you have both parents or just one?
I actually only got my mom.
I mean, I got my dad.
I just never met him.
But I got brothers on his side, but I just met them too, though.
Like I just met them for the first time, like last year on tour.
Wow.
Like when I went to North Carolina, we was on the tour.
I had my brothers come.
That was my first time actually meeting him.
And they tapped in, and they were excited to me.
meet you and shit. Yeah, hell yeah. But we've been talking for years. We just never saw each other
ever. Is that weird to have a relationship with somebody that you're related to, but you actually,
like, everybody I'm related to, it's like we have a tight bond, but we have a tight bond because
I've known him when I was a little less kid. Right, right, right. No, it's different, though.
But shit, I'm my brothers, though, so I love him. So, you feel. Definitely. Okay, so your mom was
raising you? Like, you know, there's a lot of different ways that you could have a rough upbringing,
Was it like, you know, what level was it on in terms of, like, what you were dealing with
the struggle?
Because, like, shit, my mama, my mama ain't never really, we ain't never really had nothing.
Because she always was on disability and shit like that, too.
Because she got, like, a lot of health problems and shit.
Like, she's been in, like, car accidents or, like, her back fucked up.
So she, really, she ain't never been able to really just work for real.
Right.
Like, she always, like, here and there, she'd get under the table jobs and shit.
but we ain't never really had nothing.
Like, I come from the worst of the worst.
Like, we used to have to, like, we ain't had no, like, our gas would be out, or our life to be out,
and I had to go stay with my auntie or my cousins and shit like that.
Definitely.
And then, like, even when I was coming up, I was trying to get my music shit going.
We ain't never had a computer or nothing like that.
You used to have to go to the library every day and do that shit.
Right.
Or I couldn't wait to go to my auntie house on the weekend so I could go.
Fuck around on my space and try to...
You take it for granted that anybody have a phone or a computer or whatever,
but you don't...
Like, it's easy to forget that there's, like, a whole shill of the kids
that would be doing something creative with their time
if they were able to make beats on a computer
or be able to have a $50 mic and record, you know?
Definitely.
Yeah.
No, for sure.
Definitely.
Okay, so were you fucking up at school?
Definitely, I was fucking up in school.
What was Doe Boy at, like, 9, 10 years old?
Like, what was that experience?
It's so crazy.
When I was 9...
Like, when I was, like, nine years old, I fucking, um, I was staying with my auntie.
So my, my auntie, she stayed up the way and shit.
That's across town from where I'm from.
Right.
So I was standing over there.
I was going to school over there, too.
So, when, uh, it's so crazy, I was, like, nine years old, I brought a knife to school.
Because, you feel me?
Some kids said they was going to jump me and shit.
Uh-huh.
And I brought a knife to school when I got caught.
Wow.
Wow.
And my auntie and out, yeah.
How'd you get cut?
Because I poured it out.
Yeah, that'll usually get you.
That's like every kid that get fucked up though.
You bring something cool to school, you're trying to do something, you show one too many people.
That's how you always get caught up.
Yeah, it takes a while for you to learn that you gotta keep all your crimes to yourself.
Although that's not really what being a rapper is all about these days either.
Yeah, no.
So you got caught with a knife at nine?
Yeah.
Okay.
serious punishment or was it some fucking around shit yeah i got my ass beat yeah but nothing nothing too
crazy not too crazy no okay you graduated high school no no what grade you make it to um actually made it to the
12th grade really i felt the 11 grade and then i did night school like like like like in um
like you feel me like i i didn't go to regular school because i always got expelled so it was like i was
doing the night school and shit and they i felt the 11 grade but then i got bumped up
So when I went to the 12th grade, I was actually, the school year had just started.
The school year starting like August and shit.
I probably dropped out in like October, the end of October, matter of fact.
So I was in school for like two months.
But some shit had happened where my friend had.
He killed yourself and shit.
And then, but I was right there and shit.
So you were there?
Yeah, I was standing right.
Literally right next time.
Like this far away.
He killed himself where?
Out of school?
No, we was in.
in this nigga apartment and shit that we used to be in.
We was in the building, shit.
We just geeked up, playing around.
So he just always used to play with guns and shit like that.
Oh, so he killed him by accident?
Yeah, he killed him just playing with the gun.
Holy shit.
Yeah, he was, it's so crazy because he had a,
it was like a 38, but it was like,
we was on some young nigga shit, though.
Like, you know, a nigga had the guns and shit, though,
but that specific one was like,
that bitch worked when they want to type shit.
It was one of them guns that, like,
the fire pin was fucked up on.
Oh, God.
So it's like,
nigga, oh, you can squeeze that bitch a million times
and that bitch won't go off.
But then, you feel in me?
It just so happened that one time.
Like, he was playing with that bitch all day.
Right.
Dead ass, just bang, bang, just playing with that bitch.
And then it's just the one time he decided to put that bitch to his head,
that bitch went off.
And you saw this.
I was standing right next to him.
And what do you do?
What I do?
Like, how do you react?
You just call the fucking ambulance right away?
The shit went when the shit actually happened and shit.
So as he shot it, I looked over.
I just seen all the big pink hole in his head and shit, though.
And I just seen his brains and shit was like on his shoulder and shit like that.
I looked on.
I'm like, damn, what the fuck?
So mind you, I had my girlfriend at the time was in there.
I had a couple of niggas that I was fucking with the shit.
And then his bitch was in there too.
So, mind you, like when the shit happened, nobody was really paying attention.
So it caught everybody by surprise.
So when this shit happened, I'm like, damn, mind you.
I got all these guns.
I got like two guns on me too.
So I'm like, damn, I actually stayed in the apartment buildings across the street.
So when this shit happened, I tell his girlfriend, like, make sure he cool and shit.
I got to go hurry up and go put this shit away.
But you knew he was dead right away?
It was point blank range.
It was one of them situations.
you know what's going on like right on the temple like so it's like I'm like damn I knew
I knew it was over with it's like ain't no making it ain't like he accidentally shot itself in the
arm right or anywhere else he dead ass on his brain like his brains on his shirt like I knew it was

try to hurry up I go put the guns up so by the time I come back downstairs I'm about
trying to go back and see what's going on it's already police already swarming and shit
so I see all the police coming and shit I go back upstairs I walk in the house my mama in
there bitching about some whole other shit right you're like I don't know I take out the trash
or some shit I got some real shit on my mind right now you don't even know what's going on I

And I'm like, man, what the fuck?
It's too much going on right now, lady.
Yeah.
Crazy as hell.
So boom, she yelling at me and shit,
so I go take out the trash.
So, but I'm thinking, I'm like, damn, should I hide my guns?
Like, should I throw it?
Like, I was thinking like, should I, when I go to the dumpster,
I'm like, damn, should I go hide my shit?
I was like, should I just leave it in here?
Yeah.
So I'm like, all right, fuck it.
Normally, where I used to always keep my gun under my mattress.
But this particular time, I'm like, I just put it under, like, in my closet,
in the top of the closet where my clothes is it, I put it up under there.
So I go downstairs, I take the trash out.
Mind you, I see the police and shit.
They're swarming all over there.
Like, damn, I can see them across the street and shit.
So when I go downstairs, I take the trash out, I come back upstairs.
As soon as I walk in the door, I walk in my room, all my clothes is on the floor.
So my mama then went in my room.
So I don't know if she was sitting there listening to me, like, rumbling through the closet of the sign.
Like, I was up to something.
I don't know if she, I don't know what made her going there and tear my room up.
And you're how old, like 16?
I was 17.
Okay.
I think I was 17 or was I 18?
But she would not.
have known that you would have had a gun at the time.
No, she ain't, she ain't know I had a, she ain't know I had a gun, though.
Right.
But, but she always, that was like the fourth time she didn't found my guns, though.
Okay.
That was like the fourth time that shit happened.
At 17, that's rough.
That's a lot of guns.
So, so, so, motherfucking, uh, I come back in on my clothes on the floor.
I'm like, man, what the fuck?
She's like, get your fuck out of my house.
I tell you about bringing me.
damn guns in here.
But she's still not knowing what's really going on.
I'm like, damn.
So I got my girlfriend with me at the time.
My mama then kick her out.
Tell her, call your mom, she got to come get you.
Kick her out.
So she tried to kick me out.
I'm like, man, you know what?
I know the police by the come knocking on my door
and he didn't give them on me anyway, though.
I already know they.
about to come from so I I was happy to actually leave and like I'm like shit
because I'd rather go downstairs and waiting in the lobby and waiting on
them and they came get me from here instead of knocking on the door they
didn't think you shot them though right yeah they did they did so so when when I
went downstairs and shit literally I was sitting in the lobby for like five
minutes and I seen the police walking through the door and they was like I'm like
what he say he said son he like uh is you katrell i'm like yeah y'all looking for me i already knew
that y'all was about to come get me like they already grabbed everybody else that was you feel

first floor so even when i when i first went downstairs in the lobby i knocked on the door and
his dad told me like police already grabbed him uh huh so
I'm like they really gotta come get me so boom they walk in the door and they're like is you
control that's crazy yes I am so lock me up I sit in jail for setting two hours you know
they do the three-day investigation and shit you know you under murder uh so so they was
investigating me for the murder and shit they end up having to let me go so when they let me go
to school like the next day so when I went to school I walk in the building as soon as I
come through the hallway anything just quiet is weird as fuck I'm like man all right man y'all

You know, she's passing out the assignments and shit.
She come up to me and she says some weird shit to me like,
yeah, I heard what happened.
You're fucking demon.
She said some, I'm like, you know what?
Uh-uh, I ain't about to deal with this shit.
Right.
So, yeah, I go home.
I tell my mama off the rip, I say,
Ma, I don't want to go to school no more.
Like, I ain't about to deal with that.
She's like, shit, just promised me you're going to get your GED.
So she let me drop out.
Right.
So I dropped out.
And then I didn't get my GED until I went to prison.
I ended up going to prison like a year or two later.
Oh, so you went to prison when you were like 19, 20?
Yeah, I went to prison when I was 19, yeah.
Okay.
So matter of fact, matter of fact, I was 18 when that shit happened.
I was 18.
That was October.
That was like October 2012.
Then I went to jail.
in February,
I went to jail in February
for a warrant that I had
for the guns that,
because the police went to my house too.
Like when they came and got me,
they came and got me, but then they still went upstairs
and went to the house.
So, but it's so crazy, my mama had
just found my guns. So when they went
and knocked on the door, she already knew what the
fuck they was coming to get.
So she hid it for you?
No, she gave it to him.
Oh, fuck.
I had two guns, though.
She only gave them one of them.
She only gave one of them.
But I had two guns.
I had two guns.
And I had like, I used to have, like, just a little book bag and shit.
I used to have, like, my gloves in there.
I had, like, my ski mask.
A bandana.
And, like, bullets and, like, stinteclips and shit like that.
I just had weird shit in the bag.
Yeah.
So, she didn't give them the whole bag, though.
When they came, she just gave them a gun.
So when she gave them a gun,
they end up, you feel
me, they try to do ballistics on the shit
and da-da-da-da-da.
That's why they didn't charge you with it.
So, yeah.
So, boom, when I,
when I had a warrant,
when I went to jail in February,
I had a warrant for that gun.
Because I didn't have a case for that.
Like, when they found it, they wouldn't think
about, like, trying to get his nigga a gun case.
Right.
And they was busy trying to figure out this murder.
So they end up, like, when they couldn't do,
when they couldn't pin that shit on me,
they just like, all right.
we're going to hit you with this gun case.
But you can't hit me with the gun case
because it wasn't a CECW.
I wasn't carrying a concealed weapon
because you didn't catch me carrying no gun.
It was in the house.
So they just hit me with a receiving stolen property.
So I was chilling in my parking lot
and shit, though.
I was chilling on the parking lot.
Matter of fact.
You going to pull a gun out?
I was chilling in my parking lot of shit.
I was about to pull a hammer out on me.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, I ain't go up on you.
I thought you were just going to show me something.
Boom, Desert Eagle on the table.
All right.
Yeah, no, I ain't going to put it on the table with that bitch on me, though.
Yeah.
But, um...
Fucking dope boy.
What a legend.
But, no, though.
But, um...
I was sitting in my parking lot and fucking...
We were just chilling.
I was talking to my nigga drama, actually.
He was actually locked up right now.
I was talking to drama and shit.
And he, like, he was smoking.
Motherfucking, police pull up because the people in the lock, the, uh, the people in the office and shit, they like, all right, some niggins sitting in front of the fucking, uh, in front of the building and shit, just smoking weed.
So they, I guess they seem to fog in the car and shit.
They was pulling up, and they had the police pull up just ready to everybody tell us, just get the fuck, stop doing that right here on some petty shit.
But they run our names and shit.
I ain't know I had a warrant.
So I gave my name, they're like, oh, come with us.
I'm a man for what?
I ain't know what the fuck I was going to jail for and shit, though.
So I had locked up when I was in jail for like a couple days.
I bonded off for that.
So boom, now I'm fighting that case.
A month later, matter of fact, this is like a day after my birthday.
That's when I called my robbery and shit.
Oh, okay.
So that's what I ended up.
doing it long bid for what I did the years for and shit though well since you went to jail for
it can we talk about what happened with this robbery uh you you want you want to know like to
who'd you rob and what did you get and what were you trying to take the full story sure no i mean i mean
i don't get it like the full story however much depth you want it was one of those situations

That's he's standing
Outside his
He got a fucking
Range Rover
Or some shit like that
He's standing

But he really didn't even have, he had like a wallet, like,
his wallet, his phone.
Like, he had a bunch of weird shit on him, though.
He really had shit.
So he patting him down.
He never pat his back.
So, mind you, we're in the back of an apartment complex.
So get to see a, I see like a light come on and shit.
Like, you tell somebody came in a,
was looking out the window, looking.
Like, so the light came on,
and I just see somebody just looking out of the window.
So now we had to point in like, all right, boom,

Right.
You feel I mean?
We was going to end up taking the fucking car
and just doing whatever the fuck.
So I see that.
I'm like, ah, shit.
So now we're in a rush.
So boom.
I'm like, fuck it, come on.
You're about to get up out of here.
So, boom.
The nigger who was driving us and shit.
But this, this, I regret even doing some shit with, like, a nigger that you even

A nigger who just be trying to be cool and just, you know what, you know, just a bitch-ass
nigga, a nigga, a nigga used to boss around and make, take me to the stone.
Take me to do this.
Da-da-da-da-da.
So it was just a nigga just fucked up, though.
because I trusted him in the real life situation.
So we like, all right, boom, mind you we take what we take, whatever we give.
So boom, we're running off.
So as we running off, mind you, the car was supposed to meet us.
Like, all right, when you see us running, you know to pull up and let us hop in and then skirt it off.
So as we're running back towards the car, he pulled up, he's sitting around.
right there.
So as we running back towards the car,
my dude,
we just got,
he had a gun on him.
So he's like,
hey,
motherfucker.
So when he say that,
if he would have never even said that,
he probably down there
could have killed us.
For real, for real.
But when he said that,
it alerted me.
He's like, hey, motherfucker,
I turn around.
I see him for his gun.
gun out.
Boom,
get the blowing
at the bitch.
So soon as
the bullets start
firing,
this nigga skirt

I'm like, man.
I ain't about to sit right here
because if this nigga come back here,
he'll fucking see me and kill me.
Right.
I can't even do nothing.
So I'm like, fuck that.
I leave out of the garage.
Mind you, I don't know where I'm at.
I'm going.
reaching in my pocket trying to find my phone,
I hasn't left the phone in the car.
So I go hop the gate,
I go hop a gate, I'm on a whole other street now.
So I'm like, oh, I'm about to just play it off
and try to just walk like a regular pedestrian and shit.
If I go knock on somebody's door
and try to use somebody phone,
try to call these things and see where the fuck they're at.
So I'm a fucking,
I'm walking toward somebody's house.
I see a car, it's a car that was parked on the street
and shit that had all the lights off.
Can we tell.
I couldn't really tell what it was and shit.
I wanted to pay the attention.
I just see the door fly open, though.
Free, get the fuck on the ground.
It was the police the whole time.
So I see that.
I started running.
I hit the backyard.
So I tossed the gun.
I tossed the gun and shit.
I'm trying to hit the gate.
Boar my run, jump over the gate.
As I'm jumping over the gate,
cops are already coming from that side, too.
So they're on this side of the waiting.
going to me to jump over there.
Bring your ass on.
I see him down there.
I just let that bitch go.
Dude, rushing me from the back.
I'm like, man, fuck it.
I'm caught.
Yeah.
Wow.
It ain't nothing I could do.
He tackled me, beat my ass.
And what did they end up charging?
Took me to jail.
I had like two counts of aggravated robbery.
Two counts of felonious assault.
So it was two counts of aggravated robbery
because it was two people.
The guy who...
The nigga and a girl.
Did the guy who you robbed?
Did he testify against you?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
So, so it was two counts of aggravated robbery
because it was the nigga and the girl.
Then it was two counts of felonious assault
because you shot at him and the girl.
So then I had a tampering with evidence
for trying to throw the gun.
Then...
Wait, when did you shoot at him and the girl?
Or you just pointed the gun at him?
No, I started shooting as soon as he said,
hey, motherfucker.
Oh, okay, you turn around and shut out.
So when he said that, I turned around,
I saw him pulling his gun out.
Okay.
So, boom.
and then I had like a
damn it was like
it was another little petty one
it was like an F5
so I go to jail
again
and I'm in there for a couple days
and I find out
so
it's around the time when that happened
like right when that happened
I literally signed with Future right after I got out of jail
like after I bounded out
when I went to jail I went to jail
I told him, like, hey, all right, I'm free band on some gang shit,
but now this shit need to be business because I'm finding a case,
and I need some help.
Right.
So you had already been in communication with him while you were in prison?
Yeah, when I went, I was, because, all right, boom, I was already,
I was already free bands.
Like, I was ganged, like, on some just, family on some just,
all right, we got to understand it, like, you with me, like.
Because, like, we just want a real paperwork involved yet.
So free bands was a separate street organization at a certain point that had nothing to do with the label?
Free bands ain't no street organization.
But there are people in the streets who call themselves free band gang or whatever, right?
I'm not asking you to tell me that you know whatever you're comfortable saying here.
No.
No, um, but, but you know, free bands is just, it was just one of them situations where I ain't have the paperwork yet.
Right.
So, so when I, when I caught the case and shit, I'm like, all right, I'm going through
all this, I need paperwork.
So I, you feel me, I'm, I want to show my judge, like, all right, I'm a rapper, like,
I'm hoping that this shit can help me.
Right.
Yeah, you feel me?
I need like some help getting a lawyer and shit like that.
So you feel me?
I'm like, shit, all right, boom, come on.
How'd you even know future in the first place, though?
I knew future since, like, 2011.
Uh-huh.
Like, I was fucking with Future before.
And you were doing music already at this point?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I was going crazy, too.
Right.
And he just sort of saw what you were doing, he believed in you?
No, it was, I met him on Ustream.
What?
Yeah, on Ustream.
Right, because I'm forgetting that, like, 2011, Future was not modern day future.
It was like very, the beginning of his career.
I didn't never even think Future could get this big.
I didn't think no street artists could get as big as he did.
Right.
Like, I always, I never saw life this far.
There was a bunch of auto tune rappers
coming out around that time period,
and I don't, you weren't really looking at them
like they were going to get as big as they could.
And even with Future, like, his first album went crazy,
but his second album wasn't as crazy.
You didn't really see him becoming as big
of a fucking legend as he's become.
That shit happened when I was in jail.
But it's like, when you look at a street artist,
like even myself, I didn't even, I never,
I never thought,
that you could be a street artist
but still be like a pop star at the same time
like had that pop star status.
That's true.
I never thought that it could happen until he
showed me that that could happen.
He was one of the first people to really pull it off too.
Yeah, like so it's like I was cool with
nigga with the with the trap future
like with the level that he was at when he
made Tony Montana. Right.
Like I was cool with him being that big.
Like shit, we're gonna be free bands. We're gonna rock out like this.
Shit, nigga, we're gonna just control the streets like this.
I was cool with that.
Yeah.
So when I went to jail and shit
and he gets to going crazy
when he dropped the monster
to 56 nights to beat Smols
and the what a time to be alive
and he's just going up
to this whole other level
I'm like man
what the fuck
I started knowing it was crazy
because I'm in jail
watching this nigga on TV
like I'm looking at fucking
Jimmy Kimmel
or
whatever
all this big family
all that shit
yeah crazy mainstream looks
so I'm watching him on all that shit
I'm like man
what the fuck
everybody used to be on the racks
we was being jail on our rack
hey like me dude boy you dumb as fuck
you're supposed to be right there
yeah
I'm gonna be like man down that crazy
I really am dumb
would you really be feeling that
that when someone say you that while you were in prison
you'd be like man I gotta get the fuck out of here
no dead ass that shit really that shit really
made me be like because I really am
like I'm supposed to be a part of what's going on right now
right like
like even even imagine
Imagine if I was out
Like I mean I'm glad
Everything fell away it did though
Like I don't even it's like I feel like I went to jail for a reason
Because it's like everything just
It ended up making sense at the end of the day
Like because if I never would have went to jail
He would have never made my savages
So certain shit just
It all
It all it all
It all makes sense at the end of the day
So it's like
I'm looking at it like damn
I'm supposed to be right there with him right now
Going crazy
If I was out while he was doing
and all that.
And I was his right-hand artist.
Like the,
I probably, like, the shit would have been crazy.
Like, imagine, like, like, when somebody
had to peak of their career, then they bring the artist
with him and shit like that.
Like, so I'm looking at it like, damn, oh, my God, I'm so anxious.
I'm like, man, he's going so crazy right now.
I need to be right there with him going crazy with him.
Prison's bad enough for anybody, but.
Yeah, so.
On top of that.
Yeah, like, so I got, I got a lot going on.
So, that shit was kicking my ass, though.
It's like shit, just all work yourself out
because now we, we're going crazy.
Like, future, future, and then now I'm dope boy.
Like, now, now I'm getting to that level.
Like, I'm really blowing up.
I'm really getting bigger.
Like, my shit doing this, my shit ain't doing this.
Or my shit ain't doing this.
It's doing this.
Yeah, I mean, you're somebody who's been really
grinding for years and years and years and like,
even in the last year, like, how many fucking music videos
you put out like a dozen, like many, many, many,
I've been on their ass.
Like, for real, what I've been doing,
like, I've been dropping new music
like every Tuesday and shit,
and I've been trying to, like, shoot a lot of videos.
And even if I just drop a song
with just the audio and put it on YouTube,
because what I notice is I see, like,
a lot of the new artists that's coming up,
they're going crazy on YouTube.
So, mind you, my YouTube,
my YouTube don't really do as good as my streaming.
Like, I drop a project,
I'm going to do a million streams
in a day.
You know what I'm saying?
But my YouTube videos
won't do a million views in a day.
You get what I'm saying?
So it's like, I've been building my channel.
Like, I've been dropping consistently
trying to build my channel up
so it could get to that point.
So it's like now, because I'm just,
I'm trying to make everything makes sense.
All right, boom,
because I want to do the main streams
a day on the streaming.
But, I mean, that's what I care about the most.
I don't really.
The YouTube shit, it don't matter
because you feel, me,
niggas, bob views and do shit like that.
The weird part is that YouTube videos
are like,
expensive to make and then you don't really make
that much money off of it. And then on Spotify
doesn't cost as much money to just record music and you make way more
money off it. It's going crazy. But the YouTube is just
promotion for the Spotify. Because if you have a video, get
10 million views, then you know it's going ridiculous.
At the end of the day, that's because that's the main goal.
You want your YouTube to
transfer over to your Spotify and your Apple.
Because at the end of the date, the music game is based
off of streams. That's what really count. That's where your money
coming from, that's what make you
a big artist. So it's like
I never gave a fuck about YouTube.
Even like
my biggest songs, like
my songs with the millions of views
and shit, like minivans and
walk down, them shit's not even
on my channel. So I'd be
thinking like, damn, if I had those songs
on my channel, I would even have even more
subscribers than I did. So it's like
now I'm figuring it out, though,
so I'm uploading everything on channel. I don't want
to drop on World Star no more. No, just
I love World Star and I appreciate what they did for me.
But I don't want to drop on nobody else channel anymore.
I want to drop on my shit.
I'm building my channel now.
So now my shit's starting to grow.
Like I'm starting to do more views in a faster period of time than what I used to.
And I'm seeing a difference.
I'm like, damn, all you got to do is stay active on this shit.
My subscribers are going up now.
Like, I just not too long ago, not even, probably like six months ago, I only had like
19,000 subscribers on my YouTube.
Now I'm at like 75,000.
So it's like, all right, boom, now my goal is to get to 100,000.
And then it's going to be 150,000 and it's 200,000.
But, like, when you get to, like, 100,000 subscribers on YouTube,
your video is going to damn near every time you drop you, you're going to do a million.
Like, shit.
And I'm realizing that shit.
Like, I pay attention to everybody's shit, and I see how shit be going.
I'm like, all right, shit.
I got the streaming shit down pat.
Niggas ain't streaming like me.
Niggas, it's niggas who do way more YouTube numbers than me.
But they can't fuck with me.
me in the streaming world.
Like a nigga could drop a project save damage me.
He's not going to chart higher than me.
I feel like there was a point that you kind of hit as a rapper where you decided to
sort of like simplify your flow, not like just sort of like make it so you're comfortable
putting a lot of space between bars and just sort of like trimming it down, making everything
sound really good and not over cluttering the tracks or whatever.
Like was there like a realization of like or is that just like a steady?
growth of you refining what you do.
Yeah, see, we were just talking about this shit
the other day. Like,
the way my music is now, it's like
I got doughboy down packed to a science now.
So it's like, now I got a formula
and I know exactly how to fuck to do this shit.
Like, I know how to play with my bars now.
I know how to play with my words.
Like, I know how to say this like this.
Stop right here and do that adlet right there.
Like, I know how to make that shit perfect.
So it's like now
my flow is becoming so impeccable.
it like don't make no sense
like I just be all over the place
sometimes like dead ass will be recording
and I would stop and be like
damn brother just just hear how I just said that
like like dad ass me and my engineer
we'd be having them conversation like bro
what the fuck I'm really getting hard as fuck
like so it's like and I ain't doing nothing
but getting better but that shit just come around
that shit that shit
come with being around
great people like
when you sit in a studio with a nigga
like future and shit like that you don't have no choice but to learn how to right you feel me so it's like
it's just it's just taking what I learned from him and mixing it with what I got what's the main thing
that stands out to you about future in the studio though that like because I'm sure that's another level
like it's just you know his music's not like anybody else I'm sure in the studio he's got to have a
specific style bro this nigg but the most impressive thing is like how to fuck he can stay in the
studio for 24 hours straight and not leave right like he'll be in a studio at
11 o'clock in the morning, like, it's regular, like, from the previous day.
Right.
Man, it's 11 o'clock.
But I do the same shit now.
Yeah.
They be mad as fucking me.
Not understanding.
Keep, I kidding at their ass.
We by to lock in.
Rappers, like, don't.
They take a lot of pride and not really understanding the concept of, like, getting a good night's sleep.
Yeah.
Or if you do, it might start at, like, noon.
Yeah, no, I'd be, I'm probably good sleep to me.
is three hours, three, four hours. That's good sleep to me.
Jesus. Yeah. That's scary.
I need eight. Give me eight.
I can't, I don't get eight hours of sleep.
No.
Okay. So in terms of, yeah, so
you know who it kind of reminds me of stylistically?
Is I feel like I always look at 21 as somebody who
wraps really fucking good by rapping really simple.
Yeah.
But every bar sounds perfect.
It's like he just, he does it right.
He got his shit down.
That's what I think of when I hear you is that you fucking, like, you've learned to, like,
not overcomplicate things.
Say shit, make it sound like you really fucking mean it.
Yeah.
And just stand on it and don't feel the need to add in the fancy bullshit, whatever.
No, but that's, that's, see, sometimes, sometimes it depends.
It all depends on the song.
Like, certain songs, it requires, like, trying to do some fancy shit here and there.
But certain songs, it's all about the beat for real.
you guys just know how to ride that bitch simple less is more sometimes definitely so it's like you
got to just know how to do that shit no yeah definitely uh speaking in 21 though you guys you came
close to getting into a little altercation on the internet there for a moment right oh my god come
i got to hit you with this i knew you was gonna get on the job i'm gonna hear you with this because
i seen the tweet and i was like well he's calling out two people because he said something about like
oh everybody got to say yes irsky on their songs now and i'm like well i could think of two
Two people, Dooboy and Lil Pump.
What did you think when you read it?
Now, see, see, this, this, this, this, this, this the whole thing.
Like, even with that, like, I fuck with Savage.
Like, Savage, the homie, like, he, he, he'd been bringing me out.
Like, he had come to my city, he'd bringing me out at his concerts, shit like that.
Like, we've been doing fucking how we're home coming together and I'm performing with him.
Shit like that, like, I've been fucking with Savage.
Like, so when, when, when.
When that shit went on, and it was like, it was just like a misunderstanding.
Like, for real.
It's like, it's one of them situations.
Like, he's a gangster.
I'm a gangster.
And it's like, all right, boom.
He said that, nigga, anybody, I felt, I was offended.
I ain't going to lie.
I was offended.
But it's like, when he said, all right, everybody that said, da-da-da-da.
I'm like, damn, it's only me and pump.
And he said, y'all, niggas.
So it's like he ain't say him.
So it was like, just in case you talk about me,
he probably even wasn't even talk about me.
It's a chance that you wasn't.
But you know how that is sometimes when you throw a shot,
you might say like, I hate one motherfuckers
wear these type of jeans or some shit.
And then you know, you're one homie.
And wears the type of jeans.
You're like, oh, I wasn't thinking about him.
Yeah, no, it could, because it could have been one of those situations.
Like he probably did not do it on purpose.
Right.
But that's why I said what I said.
Like, you feel me?
We didn't argue.
didn't get into it, and I'd be trying to get motherfuckers and when they're asking about it right now,
I'd be like, no, I fuck with dude.
Like, don't, like, I just literally posted his album, like, his album had just dropped a couple
days before that happened.
Right.
I posted his album on my page and kept it up even after that situation.
Just to show that, this ain't that.
It's just one of them situations to where, all right, boom, he said that, and then I had
to say what I say, just in case.
Just so, you feel me?
Because at the end of, I'm like shit,
I don't owe nobody nothing.
Right.
So that's why I said what I said.
But if it wasn't about me, then perfect.
Right.
Then you feel me?
But it's like, it ain't, I fuck with dude.
I'm trying to get people to stop,
lead that shit alone, like that shit.
But your fans, like, probably look at you,
like somebody who needs to respond to any perceived disrespect, you know?
But see, but that's, but my fans look at shit like that,
But it's like, and the end of the day,
I can't let them influence my decisions.
Because they don't understand
like this shit not for play.
Like, this shit really, for real.
So it's like, I'm gonna say what I say
because that's how I feel and I'm gonna, I'm just me.
You know what I'm saying?
But it's like, shit, bro.
Like even even all the Instagram shit
and not even seeing like how the blogs,
they get on YouTube, they're making the videos,
you know, they get to doing the weird voices.
And they come up with the whole speculations
and do all that shit.
And I'm peeping so much of that shit going.
I'm like, they're really trying to turn this shit into something.
There are so many beefs that wouldn't happen if it wasn't for that shit.
The internet of making some shit.
And it's like, y'all got to stop doing that because it's like, nowadays we're not playing.
Like, rappers in the industry, we're not playing no more.
Like, it's really gangsters in the industry.
That's like, Savage a gangster.
I'm a gangster.
So what the fuck y'all think?
Y'all trying to make us beef?
It ain't going to be no rap beef?
Like, y'all want to be.
entertaining on the internet. Like, come on, bro, y'all dealing with real gangsters. Like,
we're going to be really trying to hurt each other. So why is y'all trying to do that?
That is kind of crazy. It don't make no sense, though, because it's like, I got real beef
going on where I'm from. He got real beef going on where he's from. Why is we going to add this
petty shit on? It's a 16-year-old kid with a meme page that's just, like, aggravating situations
with, like, making, drumming up conflict between real people who could really have something
to happen. That shit, that shit, not cool. But then, soon as something happened to a, they'd be
crying. They'd be like, oh, my God. It's your bitch. It's your fault.
You're the reason why your favorite rapper did
Because you hyped some shit up and made it a situation
And that's why
As soon as that shit happened
Nigger
Like motherfuckers
You know, niggas got it on the phones and shit
And niggas was figuring that shit out
Like we got to fix this shit right now
The old boy and him not about to be beefing
Right
Like and that's not even something that out
Because that's somebody I want to
I want to work with him
I want to fuck with him
I want to you feel me
That's a nigga I'm
respect who like you feel
me so it's like
I don't want
especially not over no petty ass shit like
I'm really a gangster like
I don't want to beep over no petty shit
right I want to beef with a nigga because the nigga
really did something to me really
tried to hurt me or some shit like that you do what I'm saying
no yeah definitely respect
respect um
I wanted to ask you this
how did you get on GQ
dope boy and GQ kind of surprise me
I'm a fucking pop star look at this guy
I'm so beautiful they
they didn't handle
choice but to be like, oh my God, we need you on here.
Right.

going crazy.
Like, my press, like, I just, fucking, I just did some shit with BT, too.
BT just came to my house.
Oh, wow.
And we just did a little segment and shit.
But a lot of shit, like my friends been going crazy, though, like, ever since I dropped
demons or us, a lot, a lot of shit that have been different from me.
And shit, though, like, shit, soon I dropped, they reached out.
I'm like, man, what the fuck?
When my PR from the label hit me up, like, GQ, you want to do this interview.
with you.
I'm like,
the real GQ,
like GQ magazine.
Right.
Any rapper
with a lot of jewelry,
maybe going viral with them.
Yes,
but it's like if you,
if you know,
they selection is crazy,
like if you go look
at their channel,
it's all A-list celebrities
and shit like that.
Right.
That's why I was a little surprised.

This is crazy.
This shit crazy.
I'm probably the least
famous nigga on their channel.
But, you know,
It's crazy about GQ.
It's like, since when do they give coverage to street rappers?
Yes.
They switch their shit up.
They realize that like if they want to appeal to like cool young men.
It's like you can't just be like, oh, look at this fucking white guy in a suit.
You got to be like, yo, fuck with these rappers and shit.
Exactly.
Kind of crazy.
Okay.
So I wanted to ask you about, oh yeah.

No, it don't be lined up.
It'd be all organic.

Like, when they was first blowing up and shit, I was been fucking with Dirk.
Like, me and Dirk been rocking.

He was free D'Oboy.
Yeah, so when I came home, you know.

You don't have to fuck with me.
That's what's cool about Uzi is that you could tell
that he's down to just work with underhand artists.
He genuinely fuck with a nigga.
Like, if we fuck with you, he's gonna fuck with you.
So it's like, all right, boom, he did that.
It was so crazy.
The song kept getting leaked.
The song was just leaked.
I just had to make the label.
Take that shit down.
That bitch was leaked on YouTube.
It's going crazy.
I'm like, oh, shit, no, that shit really hit.
That's why I'm about the fourth day force my hand.
I got to really put it out.
Because I really was saving it for a specific occasion
because it's like,
It's a different doughboy, like, actually, I'm on there five
and sing to the bitch and shit like that.
It's like a song for the bitches.
Do you not want to do that kind of shit?
No, I want to.
I want to.
I want to more of that.
I got a lot of music that's like that, and I want to put out more of that.
It's just like I got to figure out how to make it make sense and make it work.
Because, you know, people don't always accept that shit
when they love you for something.
And when you try to be different, they be on your ass.
So it's like I'm trying to figure out how to slide that shit in,
because that's, I love you.
like doing music like that i got a lot of music like that and go crazy that shit
art as fuck right i'd be singing that shit fire but when i um we did the low-key shit and then
when we did busing motherfucker i was in like like in our studio that him and pluto was working on
the album they was finishing the album at the time so the way our shit is we got out like our own
studio like a free band studio so it's like i'd be in this room future be in this room
Wop to be in this room, shit like that.
So I'm in my room and shit,
and they're like, you know, Ouzi over there.
So I go over there, I go hollating and shit.
My shit was up when we kick a shit.
And I'm like, matter of fact,
I'm working on the Demas R Us album at this time.
I'm like, I got some shit you need to get on right now.
He's like, pull that bitch up,
and I pull up busing.
So I pulled up busing and he went crazy on that bitch.
So we do that.
The way the video even came
about we were just chilling at the studio one day.
I'm like, you gonna be here tomorrow?
I'm like, you ain't leaving, is you?
You're like, no, I'm gonna be in town for a couple days.
Bet, I made my camera, he drove down from Tennessee.
He'd come down the next day.
We put up, we shot that video at the studio,
like literally outside of the studio.
That whole video is outside of the studio.
That's like, if you get a Uziverse,
that's dope, that's definitely dope.
But then when you get the video.
The video is what you really need.
You really got to get that shit cracking on YouTube.
I'm like shit.
I don't care how we got to shoot this bitch.
Yeah.
We shot that bitch outside the studio.
How long was he taking to do a verse?
Was he just going in there and just doing it real quick?
Yeah, no, Uzi go crazy.
He finished that shit fast.
Yeah.
That's dope.
That's really good.
Good to hear.
The other thing about Uzi, though, like we've seen the problem,
and it's certainly not the problem with you,
but the problem with him doing songs with people
just because he likes the song or whatever,
he recently did the song with the pop hunting kid
and then there's been this huge controversy about him
because he allegedly snitched for a murder
when he was like 15, 14 years old.
You heard about this?
I seen Uzi told him I knew my verse back.
Right, and I wasn't sure if that was a real D.
I still feel like we don't know if that was a real DM or not
but it might be real.
Either way, Uzi wasn't 100% happy about it.
This whole kid's career is under fire.
How do you feel about that?
And how would you judge somebody if you knew that a rapper
snitched when they were at like such a young age?
They probably barely have fucking hair on their balls yet.
I mean, that ain't no excuse to me.
I mean, you feel?
But it's like, at the end of the day, I don't, I don't,
if you're not a street nigger, I don't judge you.
Like, so it's like, if you don't live by this,
then, I mean, how to fucking not blame you?
Right.
It's just like, like, not saying, I don't know if, like, you,
but that's just like, if I'm a motherfucking put my gun out right now
and I shoot you in your fucking leg,
and you like, shit, bro, I'm going to the police.
Yeah.
Like, if you snitch on me, I can't blame you for snitching on me
because you don't care about being the street, nigga,
or you don't care about politics.
Shit, nigga, my mama even be on board.
My mama got damn feed me to the police.
Really?
You talked about her giving the gun over,
and I was kind of like, damn, Mom.
I shouldn't have to do that, right?
She didn't do that.
I didn't have been in school,
and she had hit my phone, like,
I just found these fucking guns.
Something.
calling the police on you.
Right.
Shit like that.
Like,
every time you do that shit.
So it'll be like,
you gotta understand certain people
don't care about that shit.
Yeah.
Like,
because I can't,
but I can't knock you
for not being in the street nigga like me.
But the thing is,
is like,
can you be a rapper
and be respected
if you're so fully not
in that state of mind at all?
I mean, look at 6'9.
Right.
He's pretty much.
It's like,
it just shit don't matter no more.
But look at 6'9.
I mean,
look where his career is at.
No, he did in the dirt.
He was the dick in the third.
He was the biggest rapper, pretty much, before he got this Fed case.
No, for sure.
And now, if he puts out a video, it's, like, really hard for him to get anybody to pay attention.
Nobody's not fucking, but that also comes.
But it's like, when he came on from jail, he had everybody attention.
But it's like, that shit just started going down and down and down and down.
That was crazy to watch.
But that also, it also comes with, like, you ass, like, yo, music suck.
Right, which is really weird.
You suck.
Dude, gummo.
I'm not, I mean, gummo was crazy.
Everybody was listening to that shit, whether you're fucking real.
Gangster, fake-ass gangster.
Everybody was rocking out today.
And he had like eight of those songs in a row.
And then everybody just was like, nah, fuck this shit.
He just, I mean, but at the end of the day, though, fraud shit,
like, that shit don't last, though.
Like, it's like, but what he did, that was some bitch-ass shit.
Yeah.
Because his situation is like, all right, you're trying to be a gangster.
So it's not like you're trying to stay out of the streets
and you're trying to be an innocent kid.
and then some shit
happened and you're like
I don't know I don't expect the nigger
who's not like that to stick to the code
and be built like that
because he's not built like that
and he don't even want to be built like that
but when you're acting like you built like that
and you portraying this image
and you doing games
you're calling his own niggas
you're telling those shit that you did
it's your fault
the pop hunter thing is a total opposite 6-9 thing
because he snitched when he was a kid
and then he became a rapper
6-9 became a rapper
told us how gangster he was over and over and over
And then he snitched
That's way worse
That's a nigga fraud
But
What the pop on this shit?
What the fuck you tell him?
I think he saw him murder
He saw his friend get killed
And then he told the cops
That it was so-and-so
Who shot him or some shit
Yeah
It's not great
You know
I mean
I wasn't a gangster
Especially at 14
So I, you know, when I think about it, it's like, damn, a 14-year-old man, that's a little kid.
Some people are really gang-banging the 14, though.
But that's not, because me at 14, I was going to stand, I'm going to die for a tail.
But that's how my mind is.
That's how I think, and that's how I feel.
But a nigga who's not in the streets, I mean, he don't feel that way.
So, I mean, you can't be mad at him.
You don't have to fuck with him or you don't have to, like, you feel me?
But it's like, you can't be just mad at the nigger.
I mean, if he wanted to snitch, he wanted to snitch.
he just better not act like a street nigger.
As long as he don't act like a street nigger, then he's cool.
But, okay, put yourself in this situation.
Let's say you're basically a little Uzi in this shit.
So you see some kid, you got a fire song.
It's blowing up.
You hit him up.
You say, hey, I fuck with that song.
I want to hop on a remix.
He says, oh, I fuck with you, dope boy, do a remix.
You hop on it, and then that blows the song up.
So all of a sudden, this kid's famous because of you.
This is basically what happened in Uzi's case.
And then you find out that this kid did that,
did something that you don't agree with.
Like, that's where you get to make the decision.
Like, are you going to say?
Because Uzi never said anything publicly, I don't think.
If he did say anything, this kid put it on blast on his story, you know?
Right.
I seen the DM and shit.
Yeah, I saw that.
So, but would you feel like you had to say something if you found out that was me?
If you found out you did a song with someone and then you found out they snizzed when they were 14.
Nica, hell yeah.
If you got snitch papers on your name and you like tricked me to do a song with you,
I mean, that's not fair to me.
Because you fucking want my brand and my image
and what I stand for.
I can't be preaching.
I don't fuck with snitches.
And then you got me doing a song
with a snitching-ass nigger.
Do you think that the 6-9 thing made more young kids
not think that shit's a big deal?
Because you growing up, you always knew it was a big deal.
See, it's a lot of people that's like him.
Like, a lot of people who just,
internet thugs and just like don't live like that.
So that's why he was cool even for the little time,
his little couple months of fame that he had when he came on from jail
because his fans are still around for him
because it's way more of them type of people than it is us.
It's way more people in the world who knock street niggas
than it is people who really is street niggas
and really living like that.
It's way more of them.
They outweigh us by a lot.
But somehow with 6'9, the opinion of all the street people,
who look down on him for that shit,
it feels like that opinion of them,
of him still like sept through
and like basically like tainted six nine's image
even to all the pussy ass little kids.
Yeah, for sure.
Because at the end of the day,
what future and what do-boy,
what young thug thinks of six-nine
is going to affect what the average 16-year-old kid thinks of him?
They fuck with six-nine,
but I love young thug way more than I love six-nine.
He's my favorite rap.
That's why it's dangerous to pick sides as a rapper.
I love Meek Mill way more than I love Six-Nine.
He's my favorite rapper.
So it's like, all right, six-nine,
I'll fuck with your music and shit.
And I'll fuck with you, but...
You feel me? That's how they think.
So it's like, when they favorite people in the world,
say, no, fuck that nigga.
Just start fucking with him.
It's hard for them to stick along for the ride.
But then he's got some of those gay-ass dick
that just be on his dick and be like, fuck y'all!
But to be fair, you're wrong.
You've never seen one rapper do a song in Six-Nine since he got out.
And for a minute there, I remember Academics had a little video where he was saying,
like, so-and-so.
Somebody going to do it.
Some big rappers is going to do a song with Academicians.
We haven't, or with Six-N-N-N-N-N-9s, we haven't seen it.
Like, no rappers.
No, nigger ain't did it.
The only nigga who did this was like with Nicky.
Shout on Nikki.
And then fucking A-Con.
All right, yeah.
He tripping.
I think a lot of people were a let down by an A-Con on that one.
That n'-knit.
Yeah, it's a shame.
What do you, what's Do Boy got in the works right now?
What you've been working on?
What do you got to come?
I'm really fucking with the music.
I'm going to be honestly, that Southside project really,
really hit home.
Yeah, man.
I got, I got an album I'm working on.
Like, this is just gonna be like my first real, like, project, project,
like my first real Do Boy album.
Oh, yeah.
I guess it's a solo album.
I just been, um,
I just been liking in with all the biggest producers and shit,
trying to get like trying to figure out like because i i i want the sound to be you feel me i want
i want to show my versatility like i want this kind of song this kind of song that kind of song so it's
like i've been locked in with like zatovin locked in with this outsized and fucking take keith 30 rock
um shot of 30 rock had him on the podcast yeah he go crazy um cardo sledgering like people that out you
If you can think of a producer in the game,
I've been locked in with him.
I've been fucking murder beats.
Shout out of murder.
I've been going crazy with everybody.
So it's like, I got like 60 songs that I recorded
than like the last month and a half.
60 songs that I recorded for the album
I'm trying to pick like 14, 15 songs.
So I'm going to wait until I get to like 100.
When I get to 100, then I'm going to pick.
Interesting.
Yeah, do you feel like,
what's going to be different for you with a full-length project?
What do you have to do different to make it stand out
from what you put out in the past?
I feel like, but one thing,
what I noticed, everything that I ever dropped,
it always get bigger.
Like, like, I'd say
the first time I ever even cracked
like the Apple Music charts, it was
my second project I dropped when I came home.
And FreeBelsry Trust, too.
Was that my second project?
I think it was my second project.
But whenever I dropped in free bands with trust two, I cracked the charts.
I went to, I was at 175.
But I went up to 173.
I was happy about that.
I'm like, damn, oh shit, I just cracked the album music charts.
What the fuck?
So that was like a milestone for me.
Then the next time I cracked the album music charts, I dropped 88 birds.
It was a project I did with TM88.
It was executive produced by Young.
actually.
Yeah.
So I did that.
It charted, it went from
my job did.
And for Benzel Trust 2 was 175.
And that drop, it was at 56.
So I'm like, oh shit.
I'm really, I'm like, but that shit, like,
fair me, it ain't really that high.
But to me it is.
Because it's like, you got to think
out of the billions of niggas that rap in the world,
niggas is not cracking these charts yeah i don't give a fuck like i'm watching all these rappers
coming up and a lot of them don't get on them charts so when you get on them charts that's
when you start knowing like oh you you you you getting in there like you in the industry like you
you starting to cross over to there yeah so when i did that i went 56 i was happy as
fuck.
I'm like shit.
Boom.
Then I dropped
my next
project.
Streets Need Me 2.
When Streets Need Me 2 dropped,
the motherfucker was
all the way up to 20.
So I'm like, damn,
I got a top 20
album in the world
with all
these fucking rappers.
Everyone,
you know raps.
Everybody I know rap.
Plus five million people you don't know.
You're not even about to breathe on them 200,
the top of 200 charts.
But it's like, it's crazy.
Like, damn, I'm all the way up here in 20.
And I'm looking at the rappers who are in front of me.
I'm like, damn, what the fuck?
So when I dropped streets,
me two, that was, that went 20 and shit.
So right after that, like a couple months later,
I dropped the 56 Byrds with ESCO.
But that was awesome.
That wasn't even a four-length project.
it was a 10 song project
and on some shit
we woke up and threw out
and it went 25
so I'm like
all right
no matter of fact
even let me skip
even my I forgot
even before like two projects before
that before Streets need me too
I fucking
I fucking
I dropped a full piece
like full songs on the EP
and I charted top 40
right
I'm like man what the fuck
So after that
I dropped streets Demy 2
That went top 20
Then I dropped 56 birds
On some surprise shit
threw it out and it went 25
I'm like
My shit going crazy
Like boy to be streaming like that
So I knew when I did Demons R Us
I'm like all right
I went top 20
Mind you when you get up in there
That shit get hard
Because dumb niggas that be in that
Like you can pull up the top 20 charts right now
Them dumb niggas streaming like
Yeah
So I'm like, man, I gotta go top 10.
It's tough to do Taylor Swift numbers.
Yeah, that shit hard.
Yeah.
I'm like, man, I gotta go top 10.
I dropped Demons R Us.
I get up to number 9.
I'm like, what the fuck?
That shit is crazy to me like,
me being where I'm from and me being where I am
and just seeing where I came from, like, damn, bro.
I dropped the number nine project,
in the world like I just did a million streams in a day right like this shit getting colossal
yeah so now when I just did that all right boom now I'm rolling on I'm about to take that
momentum and bring it on over here now when I dropped this album I'm going number one there is
I'm working 20 to 9 I'm jumping up to more spots so all
It's all about just building every time because as soon as you, as soon as you were to, if you slide back a whole bunch,
it can be very, like, demotivating to, like, try to get back to the position you're in.
It's all about being consistent.
That's the one thing I think that when I'm looking to hear shit, I'm like, damn, that boy is heliconsistent,
and he never really slowed down with it.
I'm going to stay in your face.
I'm going to stay in your face.
Because it's, like, I see how to do this shit because I got the world attention.
Like, I know that everybody know who I am.
Like, I ain't going to say, like, everybody, like, as far as, like, fan-wise,
know who I am, but, like, everybody in the world know who I am as far as, like, industry niggas,
sports niggas, like, everybody know who I am.
I got the whole industry ride with me.
When my album dropped, everybody posted it.
Little baby, LeBron James, fucking, I don't care who it is.
They all, Kevin Durant, everybody posts my album when they drop.
Every time I drop a project, they're standing with me.
So it's like, and I'm realizing it's like, I need to take it.
advantage of this shit I'm gonna stay consistent and keep going crazy yeah so it's like all I
got to do is keep going and it's gonna stick it's gonna take it's gonna be that one and I feel like
it's about to be this one right here demons R Us deal what I wanted it to do it did what I needed
to do it cataport to me to where I want to be right now now everybody like all right boom
I respect that name though I gained so many new fans from that like just even having a
a nigga like like Southside producing my whole project that's big for me he's
He's like a real...
He's a legend.
There's not that many producers
that bring a shit lot of listeners
with them to a project.
Yeah, he coming with them.
Yeah.
So it's like, I ganged all his fans.
Like, they're fucking with me.
Who listen to music
strictly based on who's producing it.
Like, they'll be like,
if they see the South Side's working
with some artists, they'll be like, all right.
Exactly.
I'm going to go listen to his project.
Because you know, if he's doing it,
it ain't no bullshit.
Yeah.
So it's like,
even this album,
Southside is like,
about the executive produce it.
Like, it's going to be executive produced by Southside and Future.
That's crazy.
Yep.
Much respect.
Do boy.
