Starting point is 00:03:22 let's start from the beginning. You feel of me? Like, you'll come up, you know what you're from? You know what you're doing? I'm saying. Man, I'm from Arkansas game. Like, small little country town.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Like, my hometown itself, like, it's like population like 10, 11,000. Everybody knows everybody. The whole time. Everybody know everybody. Did the little nigga who just got elected to mayor, is he from Arkansas? He's from Arkansas. Yeah. He's like, that's like probably like a 45 minute from where I'm from.
Starting point is 00:03:53 That's a small town, too. A nigga had 200 niggins vote for. He made it. You know it's a little small. I'm telling you. You feel me? 18 years old. He's a mayor.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Man, I know like, I know like his peeping and shit, like family and she got brothers. They're being raping and this shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? Fuck me on. I ain't like that fuck me up. I got a lot. 18? 18.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I used to think you have to be like a certain age to even, you know what I and shit. To even get in that motherfucker. Come on, man. He's the first to do it. Brud. That shit's been all. I see they don't know Joe. I think I did see no drama.
Starting point is 00:04:26 The post that, yeah. I seen it job like, like, nigger. What? That's crazy, bro. Young nigger. Young nigger. Yeah, fun of getting in there. What you think about that? He's got the key to the city.

I ain't never, like, he's expecting no shit like that. Never in my life. Like, my hometown, we just got like a black mayor, too. Like, he's like a, you know what I'm saying? Like a regular dude, like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:04:54 A lot of people they want him to know. You know what I'm saying? Because, like, they used to letting the white people run it. shit, but, like, it's, I feel like, there's no need for, like, white people running a little small black town. You know what? Well, this shit needs to be ran by us.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I mean, but when I think of Arkansas, I ain't going to lie to you. I'm like, that shit sound racist. This is a motherfucker. I mean, I ain't going to say it's not. Because, you know, that shit still, like, you know what I'm saying? But, like,
Starting point is 00:05:25 I know, like, a lot of people, like, when you say Arkansas, they automatically think real, here. He'll be like, races. Dimmigies coming to get the fuck away from us. I'm telling you, but Arkansas ain't like that. That shit, like, it'll probably, like, it ain't nothing like Cal either, but like Arkansas like, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:44 just a little country. Just, you know, it's a little smaller than everything, but shit, you're going to always, like, especially like my hometown, like, you're going to see more black people. Like, when I was in high school, you might see like 10 white people in the whole school. Damn. Now, they got, like, private schools and shit with more of white, you know what I'm saying, Caucasian go-to and shit.
Starting point is 00:06:05 You know what I'm saying? But, like, just in a regular public school, probably going to see, like, 10 white people. That's crazy. Because it's the other way around out here, nigga. You feel it? Like, it's the other way around out here. But it's more Hispanics in the ghetto. It's Hispanics and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:06:22 But, like, I got kicked out, and then I went to, like, Crenshaw. And Crenshaw was, like, predominantly. commonly black. When I got there, that shit was like a black college, nigga, I'm like, it was like, it sounds dangerous, and niggas, like,

Starting point is 00:15:29 everybody clicking up, they beefing with us. Like, we were some young niggas though. We were wild, like, wild as fuck. So it was like, shit, niggas was like, niggins were like, we ain't started out hustling. Like, me and my niggas down, like, we used to do a lot of breaking in, breaking in, shit. Like a niggas, the OGs and shit,
Starting point is 00:15:48 the niggas weren't coming through in the block, like, showing us how to hustle, showing them. We didn't know. We just knew what, oh, shit. We're going to go get it. We still, we're pulling up to school, Crown Vicks. Like, two or three, my nigga might have got cram vix. You're pulling up in school and crows.
Starting point is 00:16:04 High school, little 22, 23s on them, box shivers and shit. Like, high school, gold rings and shit, grills and shit. We were, like, 10-11 grade, like, going crazy. Country. She's a real country. For breaking the niggins' houses. You think it's scary. It's a little bit.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Like, we know. We gambled a lot too, though. Like, we was 15, 16, like, I'm talking about in, like, $100,000 dice houses, like the big dice house where all the big gamblers it, like, oh, heads and shit, they fucked with us, young nigga. We used to go get up some money, goddamn, because we respect them, you know what I'm saying? We weren't going to do nothing to them. Like, but, like, they gave us a chance.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Like, we were young, we might used to come up on a $1,000 just to go to the dice house. Two, three hundred dollars just to go to the dice house. Like, we know. They know, man. You know, nigs ain't really got no money. But, like, these OGs and shit in this bitch, it's probably five or six of them. All of them probably, like, hunt up.
Starting point is 00:17:01 They're some rich hood motherfucker. So, like, they let a nigga like her coming up with two, three hundred and a challenger. We might walk, you know, walking up out there, be it with like three, four thousand dollars as young niggas. You feel me? So, like, we just do, like, a lot of gambling and shit. Just like, shit, what's shit to do, though? And, I mean, well, then, yeah, music.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Because I heard you say, but. But then I heard you say, like, you started, like, researching the business. Like, like, you start, like, taking classes and doing, like, different shit. See, I'm a hustler, bro. Like, I'm a hustler. Like, I love the hustler, bro. Like, that's why I always took care of me to hustle the grind. And I was getting into the streets, getting that shit.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Like, but, like, so, like, when I first, like, I'm when I first decided, like, I'm going to do these music shit. I'm wondering them, like, if I spend my money, Over here to hustle with, I gotta make my money back. My money more than anything, I can't fuck my money up. You know what I'm saying? That's why I stopped gambling. I had lost money what time.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I was sick, you know what I'm saying? But once I made them, I'm through gambling. I ain't gambled in years like that. You know what I'm saying? I do a little sports business and shit in that, but like dice-housing, I don't do it. I lost $500. I ain't gambled in $50. You feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:21 I was hurt. My feelings was shattered because I can't go get it back. It's just like, it's gone. So that's what my thing, it was like when I first thought, like spending money on studio time, I was fucked up.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah. So I might be hustling. I might be hustling with something to make me $1,000. Mm-hmm. And somebody probably gave me this. I got to pay them $7.50. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Somebody probably gave me this. So I might make me probably $100,000, a profit. Now, let's say I'm going to take this. My profit and buy I spend on studio time. You feel? So check this out. So this is the type of shit I used to do.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Like, I go in the studio now, I cheer. I'm all right. I can be able to go in that chill and just fall in sleep probably. You know what I'm saying? But this is how this shit was. I'd be like, before I go to the, I don't write no more or nothing. Before I go back then, but there's $200. You got to have your shit ready.
Starting point is 00:19:16 This shit got to be all. Look, look, look, when I go in there, when I go in there, The engineer will be trying to, they chill, hey. Yeah, next song. Hey, I can't do that. Hey, I got $200 to fuck. I like, hey, I got to get as many songs I can off this shit. Yeah, let's do it.

Starting point is 00:45:06 Niggas ain't, I know what I'm saying? Let's talk about P, like, ear for music. You know what I'm saying?

Like, that nigger, like, because, like, he different, bro. Like he tells me all the time, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Like, I remember, like, when I first turned my first tape in, like, it was straight. He was like, nah, that ain't what I signed you for.

Like, P.1 of them niggas, he really liked that, like that raw, their raw, scrub up, pain, shit. He, he preferred that real shit like that, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, if you need to come across this ear, you know what I'm saying? Like P1 of them niggas, like, I think I'm one of the only artists right now. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:46:25 I ain't, I ain't never went viral. Yeah. I ain't got no virus on it. I ain't got no shit. I'm crazy. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like he don't really even be on that. Like, just because of the motherfucker of virus and shit.
Starting point is 00:46:37 But how do you feel, though? Because do you feel like your career is going away? It should be going even though you signed to one of the biggest labels right now in hip-hop? I mean, like, I just know, like, I'm one of them niggas though. I just like, shit. I know, like, shit, with my label capable, I know what they can do. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, I be, I'm standing down.

Starting point is 00:47:04 So, it's like, I'd be cool. Like, I be on little tours on my little shit. But, yeah, how's that, like, how does that conversation go? Like, hey, my nigga, I'm going to, hey, come on from to put all the money behind you. Let's go do it. Because it's almost like, nigga, why we ain't doing it right now?

Starting point is 00:47:26 though, like, you still gotta have, like, in today's time. Yeah. Like Pete tell me right now, he's like, bro, he'd be telling me, like, bro, the shit you'd be rapping about, like, you listen to my music. I don't do a lot of kid jazz, TikTok music. I don't do that. I do, like, a lot of, so he'd be just like, when they catch on, they're going to catch on. You're like, it take a little along with real shit like that.
Starting point is 00:47:48 You know what I'm saying? When you talk with shit like that, you ain't heard doing all this, you know what I'm saying, TikTok shit. So, you know. Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, when they catch on, this way shit, because, like, you got, like, right now. Because it ain't really no catchy TikTok song. It's just like, if they love you, it be certain shit, though.
Starting point is 00:48:05 They go fuck with you, yeah. They take it out the, like, all right. It's like, so I just, like, I just, like, I just, honestly, I feel like, I don't feel like, I don't feel like, I don't want to be, like, I don't say I don't want to be because, like, if they should come, they're who they come to, you know what I'm here. But, like, I don't think I'm like, you know what I'm trying to be, like, no old middle star. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of almost like Lekeah, it's her name Lekeah, right? It's like she, like, on that path, too.

Starting point is 00:49:21 That's the TikTok shit. So you feel what I'm saying? So it's just like, it's just the same as like if you're a nigga out here, you're talking real pain, scrub and shit. Like, niggas ain't, they probably even feeling right now. You know what I'm saying? But like, soon you drop some shit, let you diss something bad to say off and the kid this nigga and that they were things.
