begin. I know you're from the I.E. Right. Yeah. So I'm born and raised in Riverside, California, the IE. Shout out to the I. I mean, I started doing music in, like, high school when I got expelled. Why you got expelled? I was selling edibles. And I sold.

What year is this? This was like, shit. This was, um, I graduated 2020. So this was like, what, 2018? You're like a sophomore. Sophomore, yeah. Sophomore year, high school. telling edibles, you feel

me, I told this one girl don't eat the whole thing Shottie ate the whole thing You know, we started tweaking out Fifth period of average, got sent to the hospital Told on you You know what I'm saying? She told on the homie

The homie told on me That's great He's not the home Yeah, you feel me And then, yeah, I got a Second hand snitching Yeah, crazy work I got expelled, got sent to

It's like alternative school type shit I started rapping Went back to my school Was a nigga over there You know what I just kept Go on up Keeps crazy

Were the edibles homemade or was it just like... Nah, it was for my plug. It was for my plug, but they were just like a thousand milligrams type shit. So I was chopping them up into like four pieces and I would sell them each. I was making a bag, you feel me? How did she start like, what was like the beginning of her, like that, like, how did she trip out? What was the reaction? I didn't know.

I wasn't there when she tripped out. I just remember getting called to the office. Like, I just seen, you feel me? I just had this feeling, period. You feel me? I had this bad feeling. I'm like, shit. Like, I don't know something's going to go wrong.

I was about a ditch six period. I had soccer six period. I was like, nigga, soccer, I'm going to ditch and go home. I just had a feeling, you feel me? I seen a nigga pull up the go cart to my classroom. I'm like, oh, I hope you're not coming for me. And the nigga, you see me, came in the classroom, pointing me out. I'm like, damn, you feel me?

So, yeah, they pulled me up to the office with you. The homie already in there crying and shit. And just, you feel me? He's like a bus. Yeah, he's just in there. You don't even got the drugs. Yeah, you feel me? And you were crying.

You feel me? He already told him the whole shabang. He already told him the whole rundown, so there's really nothing I could do for real. I was just like, shit. It's funny because I got expelled in 11th grade. I got a freshman drunk and he threw up in our class. Oh, ratting me out.

Shit. Oh, yeah, no, that's crazy way. So, growing up, what you was into, bro? You were the only sibling, like, you can me tell us about for early. I was growing up. I had two older brothers growing up, really just into sports. And like music, I played basketball, soccer my whole life growing up. What got you in soccer?

My dad and my uncle. My dad and my uncle. Since I'm, I'm not Nigerian. I was just gonna say. I was just gonna say, Nick is in the soccer? I'm not, he gotta be African. Yeah, I'm Nigerian, you feel me? So yeah, my, um, soccer was very, like, heavy in my, um, you know, my family lifestyle or whatever.

So yeah, I just grew up playing that shit. Um, music, uh, I was into music heavy. I was like in choir. What kind of music you was into at that age? Because I know, you know, in an African household might be a little different. Which I was listening to-womenow. Yeah, we were especially still listening to rap. I would say like Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, a lot of like Christian rap.

Oh, not Christian rap. A lot of Christian music, you for me. I was involved in the church a lot too. Kirk Franklin and all that. Yeah, a lot of Kirk Franklin and shit like that, you feel me. So yeah, a lot of like Christian music and shit. Wasn't no gangster rap in the career. I mean, not that much.

Niggas wasn't influenced that much until, yeah, not for real, for real, but yeah, you feel me, but just a real like smooth shit, you feel me? Yeah, and I was in a baby? You the baby? Yeah. I got two older brothers. It was cool. I ain't fucking with it for real for that first,

but you feel me? Eventually, like, the baby, you know, when you're the baby, your parents get a little bit lenient on you because your older brothers already did this and that, so they already, like, kind of like, whatever you do it type of shit. But, no, I was a hard-headed kid, though.

I used to always get in trouble for smoking and just being bad and shit. When you start smoking, where age? I started smoking, like, I'll say, like, freshman year or, like, eighth grade going to the summer of freshman year type of year. I started playing with that. How you get into one of your homies or something?

Yeah. You remember the first time? Yeah, I was skating. I used to be a skater back then, too. So, yeah, one time the homies is telling me, I let's go smoke. Went to the park. Niggers got high. I was chipping out at the park.

I was trying to tell you that first time you smoked. It feels different, but you feel like your voice changed, how the world looks changed. And you don't never feel like that again. No, that ever. Ever. Chasing that high ever since. Smoker. No, that's bad.

Matter of facts. Yeah, no, that first time was lit, though, for showly. Niggas was chipping balls. You feel me? And, yeah, after that, I just kept smoking. So did your parents ever catch you? How did they feel about that? You know, the African household would be sounding strict.

Every time I talk to one of my homies, I'd be like, I'd be like, me, that sounds like in prison. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mama used to always catch me, man. He used to always get in trouble. You know, I always, I would always come home to smelling like a pound or or maybe my eyes would be redness and shit. She's always tripping out of that shit.

But I would always just go back. back the next day and still smoke. But you're born here, right? They born there and you born here. Yeah, my mom and dad was born over there, but I was born and raised over here. Okay. And Riverside is an interesting place to grow up, you feel, I mean? The I.E., first of all, people don't realize it's very activated.

There's, you know, streets is thick out there. And Riverside, that's kind of like the very edge of everything, you feel me? Yeah. It's a predominantly Hispanic. So do you grow up around like a lot of Mexicans? Yeah, hell yeah. Shout out to all the Hispanics out there, man.

A lot of the homies growing up was Hispanic, you see me. I stayed in, like, Riverside growing up the whole time, and then I moved to, like, Moval. A Murda. Murder Valley. Yeah, the murder, you see me, that's more like, you for me, real active over there, too. How was it being a first generation American, gang?

It's for show hard. For show hard, you know what I'm saying? All of my first generations know out there, you know what I'm saying, just having to break that little barrier from what our parents want us to be or is used to or what they were used to growing up to what, you know, how it is Americanized out here and she, you know what I'm saying. It's, for sure hard, but, you know, like, it was lit. Especially with the music shit.

Like, you know, when I first started rapping and shit, my was not for that shit at all. She was not. You're not enough to be a little hooligan making this rap music. You know, hell not. But eventually, like, a nigger would be just be doing shows. I would be getting booked for shows and shit. And every time I'd get book, I would just come home and show her, like, videos and me performing. Like, I'd be like, look, like, I'm actually doing something for me.

So she, eventually, like, was like, all right. I got to let him, you know, rock out or do what he do, and eventually, you know. Was the pressure, like, to join gangs prevalent in your life at all? No, no, I was, I was hell of chill. I had a hell of gang banging homies, though. I used to, you know, hang around and run around with them a little bit. But, yeah, I never got, like, real, you know, intuit and none of that, you feel me, shit. So, I was cool, then.

Do you feel like that's because you have family, family life and shit? Yeah, I mean, I feel like, yeah, for sure, because I had family, just grew up different, raised different, you feel mean? I just felt, I just knew I just didn't need to, you know, be involved in it or didn't need to be, you know, in it, like, you feel me? Do you feel like you were able to get away with more stuff because you were first generation and they might be not be hip to a lot of the shit that'd be going on? Yeah, for Shirley, because she actually, they wouldn't be, like, knowing that much type of shit, you for me, and I'll be able to just, you know, for Nago. But, yeah, that should be lit, though. So, what were you, what were your first, like,

influences in rap like what was the first rap music that made you be like damn I'm trying to jump off before you do this shit I'll say like my first real influence like early early influence be like yeah like Chris Brown you used to listen to Chris Brown a lot I started

How old you feel like you are at this age when you started Chris Brown was like middle school So this is like when these Jose loyal is out and all that shit That's late Chris Brown for us Yeah, exactly. I'm a younger for sure.

When I really started like with music heavy, I'll say like Playward Cardi. Like the whole red tape, SoundCloud tape, you know, SoundCloud era, that's when I really was like, oh yeah, yeah, now, like heavy heavy type of shit. Do you feel like growing up in Riverside shape, how you make your music? Or do you feel like you got any influences? No, for surely. I officially say the IE has for sure a different sound, like, I'll say more like melodic. than like LA type will probably be more like gang banging or like, you know,

harder music and stuff like that. Yeah, I'll say the IE has a lot of like melodic like artists or melodic sounds or yeah, different type of sound for surely. And especially just being like Nigerian also, you know, I got a hell of different sounds from just different. What do you think about right now? There's a huge viral song at the IE right now. Yeah, my boy, Pact.

Shout out of Mac. Yeah, yeah. What's like the, the, impact, does that kind of give more people hope out there? It's like, damn, bro, like, shining. I think that song was going up, like, right after Ghetto was going up, too. So it was just like a double, like, you feel me, double stamp, like, okay, the IE got some shit, real, you know what I'm saying?

So yeah, no, shout out to bro, shout out to Pack. Do you feel like you feel like you overlooking from the IE? You feel like they be asleep? Hell yeah. I didn't functioned around the IE a whole lot, you see me, my boy K Lyons, that's my dog. Me and K Lions like this, I was real, uh, S5, that was my boy. And I was one of the first LA rappers besides like maybe like RJ to like really go to the IE function with them. And I noticed how overlooked they was or people, you know what's your experience with that?

Yeah, hell yeah. That whole like LA versus IE shit, that should be bullshit to me. I don't be trying to even focus on that or even looking at that shit for real. Yeah, no, I for surely feel like I.E. gets downplayed a lot. You know what I'm saying? But it's good. It's time to you. You feel me really show niggas and put it in their face like, hey, there's some shit out here.

I think niggas asleep because if you're being hip to the scene, bro, I'm 27, bro. I just don't think they want to, you feel me. That too. But it's like it's undeniable. Ro, radio base had a bigger hit than half the city in the last 10 years. Bless the bottle was a huge. You go to parties right now. They're still playing it.

And I should go to my boy, too, you for me? That shit blew up years ago and then it got revamped and still going crazy. That's the fact. The I, he been pushing out a lot of people. I just think, boy. That's a fact. That's a fact. I think we're still thinking of this shit like it's the 90s.

Yeah. Like bro, the IE is already well developed. It's not the 90s to where people are just moving out there and they, LA grandparents and parents like, no, these people already been here, bro. Like 30 years, they got their own scene. Their own politics, generate. It's not just like, you're right, it's not new. This has now been going on for generations.

We still use that misconception of because you'll talk to your parents about the IE. Like, I know, I'm a niggie. So I'll talk to my parents about, they'd be like, man, something, something, something. But it's like, that's not the 90s no more again. Right. They've been here already for a long time. They're not no longer like transplants out there. No, they're from there now.

You know what I mean? I feel like, to be honest, I think the IE is more dangerous in LA for the most part. Nothing to do. How you feel about that? Now, yeah, the certain parts are surely like the Dino, Dino, get chicken in a Dino. Get chicky into murder. It's so do. Get chicken in Riverside too, you know what I'm saying?

So it's just, same thing like LA is just some parts that you just got to be at. You shouldn't be it. I think it's just people not knowing. Because I thought the same growing up, like, oh, I. And once you go over there, you're like, it's not watered down. You be like, nah, you're like, it's cracking. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm out there and all that?

Yeah, it's definitely cracking. And I always like being Riverside in particular. And I know now y'all got like a developed downtown. It's like, looks a little bit nicer. But Riverside always gave me the vibe that if you go missing, they ain't going to find you for a very long time. You just. Oh, facts.

Did you ever function, like coming to LA? Did you ever, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, growing up out there, did you ever be like, if I know a lot of IE people would be like on the weekend, we're going to L.A. Like, would you ever run out? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just like, we're going to kick in the Rives High.

No, no, no. When I started making music, I started throwing parties out in the IE. So I used to throw like huge like B&B parties, pool parties, like summer, all them parties. Oh, they hated Joe ass. Yeah. No, they hate for me. They love me. Everyone in the Airbnb people.

Oh, yeah, yeah, for surely the B&B&B people. Hate him my ass. Yeah, hell yeah, and the cops. But yeah, like, if you know me, if you're from the IE, then you really know me. I was like, oh, yeah, that nigga used to throw, like, some little-ass parties and shit for real. So after I started throwing parties, I started,

my homie Diamond, shout out to Diamond. He got me being a promoter in the club in Hollywood and shit. So I started working at clubs like ballet, Dragonfly, Pan House, shit like that. So, yeah, on the weekends, I would just be sliding to L.A. Oh, but that's not even, like, functioning in L.A. Like, you're going, like, straight Hollywood. What you were doing in the club?

Was you rapping? No, in the clubs, I was just promoting. I was just getting girls in the club. So I would bring, like, to me. Are you as a promoter? You were a promoter? You know, like, the IE, 10 females from L.A. I have 40 bitches in my section in the club, like, every Saturday, every weekend, you

feel me? And then I just started building from there. And then that's when I started getting more known in L.A. and shit for being that lit promoter. Oh, and that nigga that makes music too and shit like that. And then that's when, at a certain point when I was like, all right, yeah, now I've got to push the music shit while I'm out here in the club and shit. You know what I'm saying? So now I'll be in the clubs and shit. pushing it. Now the QC thing makes even more sense because that's literally the trajectory

of the Migos as well. They started out, you feel in me, just going to clubs, being fly, you feel like turning up before they had their arc as rappers. So matter of, you feel like that helped you? You feel like that helped you transition in the rap? Hell yeah, because it for sure they gave me a cult fan base of, like, I already had a cold family so for like females, but now it was like a big super cult fan base of females that just like to party and turn up. And that's exactly what my, music like it's like four type of shit is for people who like to party and turn up type shit so it just gave me a real cool fan base of like females um bad bitches too you feel

me that's just always turning that as much shit and always supporting me you feel what what's the policy like it like with ugly bitches or ugly bitches not a lot in the same thing yeah like what do you feel me my home girls no like you feel me don't bring don't bring that one friend you know what friend you not to ring you feel me god damn it so you feel me if you me with the home girl ugly, then we just tell, you know, I'll tell my home girl like, hey, dude, she might got to pay. Damn. She got, that's got to pay.

Well, you just sick that one, homie, who you know, loki, not that fly. You've been like, look, bro, you've been asking me where to hose that all month. Take this one inside. She's right here. She's right here. Yeah, Teresa loves you. She's right there. You feel me?

Beggers can't be choosers. That's what you got to tell them. I gave them one. Come on, man. Oh, cat. Yeah. No, I usually just tell them, like, you feel me, a. they might not let her in

or she's gonna have to pay with the group and then that leaves it up to them like if they want to stay or if they don't tell the home girl to pay so that's been is there been an issue

like with the ugly girl not being able to get in the club yeah yeah it's like like nigga that's routine that's routine that's every weekend

like you know out of a group of 40 girls you're gonna have a couple that's gonna try to sniggle snaggle their little ugly friend in their little fat friend in like you feel me come on now I'm just saying we got

none of that lead a fat one at home She's not proportioned right. Leave her fat-ass. Come on, now. He got to have the good ratio, man. All right. So at what point, do you feel like, when is the turning point of your rap career,

where do you feel like when you, because I feel like we all had that moment or I know at least I did where I sat down one of my homies and I was like, hey, I ain't going to lie. Like, I love keeping like, like, nigga. I'm like, I'm somebody. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, at what moment is it, at what moment did that happen? I would say, like, every summer. Every summer I would start like progressively knowing like, oh shit, like, niggas is really going up because especially during that time, that's when I'm throwing my parties.

That's when I'm going to clubs, when I'm doing events and that's when I'm really like getting more known and shit. I really say really with this ghetto shit, when niggas started going crazy with this ghetto shit, that's when I was like, oh shit, when I was like, oh, niggas is seeing posts from like different states posting me, different clubs just posting me, like people from just people from just people from just people from just like, oh shit, like this shit, real life, you for me. So yeah, nah, that's for sure. a moment where I realized like, yeah, no, this shit, this shit. Yeah, what are you at like 2.4 million? Nah, that shit's, that shit's, let me see right now. It's just like way past that. Yeah, I'm like, I think it's past that.

On Apple Music, let's see right now. Yeah, that song definitely went stupid. On YouTube alone, are you over two? I know that. Yeah, on Apple Music, it's at 9 million. On YouTube, one video is at like 2 million. The other one's like, yeah, and then Spotify. Yeah, that was the second up.

Yeah, I had a live mic music video. That's the second upload. Okay. So how did you, I know True Car is an L.A. to the I.E. dude, you feel me? He functioning heavily with the IE and all that. Facts. Lived and watched, but every time I didn't know him, like every time I seen him a lot before he started

cracking, cracking, it was in I. In the I. So how did y'all connect? So basically the ghetto song, what's it called? I made the ghetto song. I made the ghetto song. And then I, like I said, I was. throwing parties and shit like that.

One of the parties that we were throwing for the summer true car was hosting and you feel me, he popped out to the party. I was walking around my party and then like he was standing on like this like barbecue pit or some shit and then like he called me over and then he was like, yo like you feel me like where I see me from, I always see you around because I always be at parties or I always be throwing at parties and shit. And then like, yeah, I told him, we first first met like a couple years ago at the music video. He had like a music video where it was like a basketball theme to you.

He was like, anybody can pull up, just bring a jersey. Like, just wear a jersey in the video. So I'm like, oh, shit, I'm going to pop out. You know, me wear a jersey with you. So I met him there. But then he had the pool party. You feel me? He was like, oh, yeah, no, let's let's work with you.

Like, here, take my phone. He was like, take my phone. Like, record yourself, like, on my phone on Instagram. Like, tag yourself. Like, I'm going to post it with you, like, we're us turning up. So after I posted a video on his story, he just hit me. He was like, yeah, just send me an open. Like, you feel me?

You got any music with you, who? I'm like, shit. I'm like, I only got this one song. I was gonna do something else with it, but like, you feel me, this is the only song I got. And he was like, no, no, I just send it to me with you. And then I was like, I bet. So that happened to be the ghetto song.

So you found me. That's crazy for your first, like, genuine attempt at like making a serious record and you have that much success. So yeah, so I'm like. That's not, no, no, yeah, for sure he was on. Yeah, that was a fact. That was a lot of show.

My black ass in this through about six years before I got any tracks. Yeah. Yeah. Different stuff with different fun, me. That shit was lit, though, for Shirley. So, yeah, I just sent him over that record. And then sent it over. And then I told him, I was like, no, matter of fact,

you feel me just slide to the studio. I'll pay for the studio session. You feel me, just slide, like, let's record it, like, in person type of shit. So it was better and shit. So then he came over here, and he recorded his verse. And then from there, I started just pushing the song. I think he traveled. So I was just pushing the song like Dolo, just going crazy,

trying to push it. Everyone was f***ed it. And then that's when TikTok, I grabbed it and then started going crazy. Oh, no, actually, that's when he came back from when he traveled. And then it was like my birthday month in October. So I told him like, oh, October what? October 8th.

25th. Okay, okay. What do you? Scorpio? Okay, okay. Leber gang. So, yeah, it was my birthday month. So I told him pop out to one of the clubs I was promoting.

And you feel me? He popped out. And then I told him, I'm like, oh, yeah, let's go tell them to play our shit. You feel me with the hoop? So we went up to the DJ and then we told him to go play it. And then after that, like, all the clubs started, like, playing the ghetto song, you feel me. And then after that, like, TikTok, like, picked up on it. What made you choose, like, that sample and all that, you feel me, like...

One day I was, like, riding with my brother, you feel me, and, like, you for me, he was just playing, like, music. And, um, the original song is Acon, ghetto, you know, for me, so he was playing that one time. And I was like, oh, shit, I forgot about this song, like, you know, I forgot, like, it's a slapper, you for me, and it just, I just got a light bulb instantly, like, you for me, Acon's talking about, like, the struggles and the, you know, he said, he's, the heart bringing of ghetto, you feel me. I was like, I could switch it up and make an anthem about the ghetto girls and turned up ratchet bitches, you feel me?

There wasn't no beat yet. You heard the original and you got the beat, mate? So, yeah, I heard the original and then I went to my boy Mojo. Mojo's my producer. I've been working with him since, like, high school, you know, so I went to him. I'm like, I sat down with him. That's the shit I'd be doing. That's a brain.

And I'd be saying, bro, at that point, I'd be telling him I'm like, I need some credit on this, damn there. You feel me? I took that idea, nigga. And then we made this. I need some producer credit. That's straight up. That is production.

That's usually how me and him always work, too. It's like, I'll get an idea and I'll come to his crib and I'll be like, yo, this is the idea I got, you feel me, and then we'll sit down and I'll tell you like how I want the beat to go or the BPM, all that whoop and then Mojo's a wizard. So, you feel me, he just goes crazy and he'll just start cooking up and, you know, it'll just make magic out of this. And that's the completely random that Acon is from where? I was when I said a same thing.

Yeah. I mean. Sierra Leone or Senegal. He's Senegalese. He's Senegalese, yeah. Which is dope, though. You feel what I? The Africa connection.

Yeah, yeah. I bet you he'd find out out here, reach out. No, he's for show. No, he for sure. I know he for sure. I hardly heard the song, you know what I'm saying? He found out too African, not a nigga going to reach out. Yeah.

We got to try to tap in. Remember I'm saying? Acon tap in right now. He don't see this. He going to see this. Acon, you see this. Acon, you see this. What's the deal, my boy?

Reach out. No cap. Yeah. A-Conneyed tap in A-Sap, man. Let's connect, man. Let's go crazy. So once this drops, do you start seeing how people around you treat you? Hell yeah, bro.

And how fast? You got to give us an instant because I know it happens for us all, bro, where one day you go from just regular. The next day, niggins start treating you a whole different way. Oh, you're a joint now. Yeah, not for surely. You know, like, I mean, me, I'd be, like, peeping shit, like, slow or, like, not realizing, like, you know, things like,

A-SAP, like the whole thing, like, oh, shit, like, I'm actually somebody now where I'm actually, like, viral with you whoop. So it was always just regular to me. Like, I never really looked at it until that late at a year. But people start hitting you with you with the, oh, you're too famous now. You too Hollywood. It's like, nigga, I'm a regular person. But every time people say that, I always say, no, you think. I'm too bad.

They always be like, you think you, no, nigger, you think comp. I didn't say that. I'm going to start using that too. You said that. That's a good one. That's what I say. That's a good one. You think you did, you think.

I didn't even say that. You think I'm not, nigga. I'm gonna start using that shit. Okay. But yeah, no, I for surely piqued the difference, for sure to, especially, I'm, and it's like, I've been new, it's like people not going to fuck with you until other people start with you. They don't like it until other people love it. That's really what it is.

And it's like, when you realize that and when you understand that, you don't really be getting mad at, you know, people moving different or people acting different because you just know, like, they're not going to fuck with you until you got some shit going or until everybody else fucking with you. So once they do that, you know, just keep a smile in their face and just keep pushing. What about the thotties, though? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, you feel me? Yeah, you feel me, the little hotties, you know what I'm saying?

Myx's always been had the hotties, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, now it was just, you know, just way more, like, yeah, they just, you know what I'm saying? Go way more crazy as soon as you play that ghetto, too. But it's dope, though, because you already had girls that that was feeling you. So that, that, like, makes such a big difference. When people are not used to getting pussy and then all of a sudden it appears, that's when they start getting nickled. Fame allows you to be who you always wanted to be.

Yeah. So if you always wanted to be a weirdo, it'll show your first year when you get the money. You see. Straight up. What was your creative process like making the song after y'all got the beat? Like, what was your process where writing it? Did you freestyle? Did you write it how I go?

No, yeah, I always, um, so for me, I like to, so once I sit down and make the beat, my creative process, I like to get the idea of the song, or like the topic of the song first. So obviously, since it's the sample, I'm going to run around the topic of ghetto. You know what I'm saying? So once I make the hook, I'm bad bitch. She's a, I like, and I be recording all my sessions, too, like when I'm making the beat. So I actually have a recorded version of me, like, freestyle and they're trying to find the melody of it and shit like that too. No, that is dope.

I actually stream now all of my sense. It's like my new thing. And I encourage other people to do that. Hell yeah. You for sure got to do that because I remember a niggas see how raw you are for real. Yeah, no, for real. They see the whole creative process behind it. And it really is, like, hell of cool just to see the beginning and the end of it, too.

And you'll try to have some niggas try to come and be like, oh, he stole this for me. Nigger, come on. I got like an evidence, man. I got documentation that I recorded this and how it all came down. Niggas try to say you stole that or you just saying, for example. No, no. A nigger tried to say, oh, I stole ghetto like after I dropped it.

Hell of him. I'm like, bro, are you serious? Like, get the fuck on, bro. That's crazy. Then he, like, made his own weak version of it. Yeah, he made a dog shit version of that shit. That's a bullshit. It's like, if you took the beat,

if you took the idea to the producer, or then how can there be a... There's no way, you feel me? There was no beat before I had the idea. Right. Come on now. So, yeah, man, it's good, though. You know what I'm saying?

Just give a nigga's inspiration. And I think it's really creative the way you flipped it because the original song is not about that. It's like the tales of the hard times in the inner city and all that. And you flipped it into like, nah, ratchet bitches, ghetto ass. Hell, yeah. I think that's really a creative.

Just having fun with it. Making, taking preexisting media and making something new with it is rock. And I think the fact that True Carr serendipitously randomly appeared on there is awesome because True Car got a style that's not really typical of the SoCal region. He sounded more like a Southern rapper. Yeah, yeah, 100%. So that kind of, I feel like, maybe made this song have more appeal outside of just to L.A. And I was surely how to surely he had to throw him on there? You feel me?

You know what I'm saying? That shit went crazy. So how did QC get hip to you? What was the deal with that? So everybody, so when the song was blowing up, like, bro, every label was calling my phone. Like, every label was blowing my shit down. Like, it was to a point where I was wondering how niggas even got my numbers and shit, for me. Did you think it was fake?

Like, yeah, not for surely. I'm like, yeah, like, this is, um, uh. And it's like, it's all the same shit too. Like, you feel me, they all, like, want to set up the little intro call and shit like that. This is Jonathan Greenberg. I'm with the Koch records. Yeah, yeah. So, for surely that, that shit was like,

a so real moment. It was cool as hell. The way that QC got locked in, you know, like I said, it was like a, it was hard for some of the labels to even get my number or get contact with my numbers. So QC was trying to get in contact with me and they seen that true car is signed to whack. So they were like, okay, bet, let's hit up whack because QC is cool with whack and shit. So they hit up whack and whack hit me up like, yo, this is other people that's trying to sign you too. Here's their offer. like, what you're trying to do, let's get everyone with you.

Yeah. Now, that reminds me. That's the first time I actually heard the record was Wack talking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Black was like, True Carr got this new song. A nephew got this new song with his E.K.E. This ghetto song's going crazy. Speaking of the E.K.E., what do that stand for?

EKE's my initials. Yeah, it's my initials. Okay, okay, okay, okay. It's a Nigerian house name, so. He said, we just got a shortness. This is going to be, like, a phrase. facts. Okay, I bet, I bet. I thought it first said E.B.K. When I was like, whoa, that's what everybody thinks. Like, everybody is.

Everybody thinks that, like, once I say E. They're, like, they think of the most outrageous shit, like, every of the acronyms where it sounds like, I'm like, nah, that's not it at all. It's really just a Nigerian initial. Like, that's literally it. Although I would like to see. What made you come up with that? Really, I was doing YouTube before I started rapping. And, like, my YouTube, channel was called EK.E. TV. So I think I just took that, just took the TV off and just ran with the EK. Okay. And that's the, that's the channel where you have like the Africa blog on there.

No, that's, that's my same one. Like my, I've been deleted that channel. Okay. Before I got into high school, I like, I was like, no, I can't go. I was about to be. I was like, I can't go in high school. Same on his own shit. Got disappear. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah. It's like the, the, you know, look at Jack Dordy now. He's like the most toxic, um, IRL streamer. You see footage of him when he's like 10 years old flipping cards. Yeah, I was like, I got to put shit out of you. Okay, so QC reached out and you guys, so are you, are you, like, is it just that song that's under QC or are you officially signed under QC?

I just signed QC. We just dropped a new song, matter of fact, with sexy red. I saw that. Bof old days ago. So, yeah, so yeah, no, I'm just signed QC for it. It's like a two-song deal, artist development deal, you feel me. So after the two songs, you know. As far that they still do.

You know, I always be preaching that shit that labels don't do artist development. No, I know. I knew I for sure didn't want to get, like, sign, sign, for real. So I knew I had to do, like, you know, development deal, artist distribution deal or something like that. Terms won't be great until you have more of a bargaining chip. Yeah, it's less pressure, too. Because I feel like, you know, artists would get a hit record and they get thrust onto a national stage before they're ready. Yeah.

It's kind of setting you up for failure. But this is way smarter, setting you up for success. And when you get dressed up so fast, it's hard to capitalize. Once you just get put, that's like, the first time they've seen you, you're just knocking that guy out one punch as a UFC fighter, right? Yeah. And if every other fight don't end just like that, it's like, what can you gain from that now? You got to slowly, you know what I'm saying?

It's much better as you got a steady build so you can top what you do routinely, and it's not just something astronomical too top. You get what I'm saying? It was like when you're saying? It was like when Jeremy Lynn had that run in the NBA, you feel me? Come out too hot. Yeah. Come out too hot.

You come out too hot. People still got to get familiar with his face. Right. You got what I'm saying? Like, do you experience that too where people would know your song but they don't know you yet? Hell yeah, bro. That is like. Your song's more famous than you right now.

That's how it is when your first single just blow. Literally. Literally. That's what I've been like kind of fighting or not even fighting. That's what I've been working the last poor like four months or so, you feel me? It's like my song is supervised. Everybody knows the song, but the nigga I walk into a room.

You don't know who the- I'm glad. I'm glad that you as an artist can't realize that because I say it all the time, bro. Hell yeah. All the time that if you can't attach a face to it, this shit's not lasting long. Yeah, hell no.

It's not because another nigga with that same sound could take it, shoot a video, and now they know his face and not yours. So I think that was a real good idea to go with the development first so we can get a face to your name so you can have a longer career that way. No, facts.

And that's literally like what you get. And that's why I just been outside everywhere. Like everywhere I can't promote it, you know, doing other things. Just putting my face to the song, you know, showing that face card because that's very important for them to know your face. See, for me. Well, there's two different strategies for up-and-coming artists. One is flooding with music. You know, there's the Lil'B approach.

You feel me, the chief keep approach. My goat. You feel me the goats? Both. You just drop music every single day. Or there's the... E.K.E. approach, which is go viral, and then you just put your face everywhere.

Go viral, put your face everywhere, and just focus on working one record at a time. You feel me? A great, I'm so glad that you said that, because people always will drop a song, and I had this problem, too, when I first came out of this. You'll drop a song, you won't know how great this is, and you'll move on to the next. Yeah, no. Everybody didn't hear it the first one yet. Just because it's viral, everybody didn't hear it yet.

Yeah, you can still go on a run with this until everybody, once they have, have a face to it, you know, he don't got to be, then why move on? Why move on? There's always going to be somebody new. And like you said, once you finish putting a face to it, then it's like, okay, now we can move to the next step because they know my face. Because if you just keep dropping these songs, they don't know your face, it's just like. Yeah, there's no point.

Yeah, no, I dropped this song in like August. It didn't start blowing up until like October. And I just knew, like, I was like, yeah, I'm probably not going to drop us another song until January. And even when January came, that's when, like, they officially signed this shit. still didn't drop another song until. And you haven't had a summer, a full summer with the record. Yeah, the song dropped like after summer.

So it's like the fact that it went viral and it was a summer crazy song in the winter, it was crazy. So like, yeah, when summer comes up, yeah. That's your chance to put a face to the name 100%. So that-100%. You had to double down with that new one. And, you know, I just dropped that one last week. Yeah, so how did 3-0-O come about?

3-O came about. So, yeah, this is after I signed now. I'm just in Atlanta all the time now, you know, just going back and forth in Atlanta. Every time in Atlanta, you know, P told me he was like, hey, anytime you go to the studio. You know, I want you to just go to the studio, you know, you can work anytime. So one of the nights that I was working, you know, just regular night pulled up one of the beats, Mojo. You feel me, shout out to Mojo again. That's my boy.

So he sent me a pack and I was just going through the pack. And I'm like, all right, fuck it, let's pull up this one, you know what I'm saying? Got in the booth, freestyle. And just after that, it was just crazy. I sent to the P I remember posting a snippet to it

on Instagram and I like tagged like QC and I tagged P like I mentioned him and then I remember him reposting it and then it wasn't until the next day or a couple days later

he was like hey like send me that song that like you know that you posted like you feel me and then he called me back and he's like yeah bro I just listen to that song in the car like that shit slaps

like we need to go with that one next like that's the next one We do like, we're gonna get sexy red on it, you feel me. We're gonna get that going crazy. And I'm like, all right, bet. So he got on it immediately, hit them up, got a situated, you feel me, got me and Sexy to Link up, shot that video in Miami, just went crazy. So y'all, okay, when is the video dropped?

It dropped. Oh, okay. I was gonna say, how was that? No, that was lit. No, that was lit. That was lit. That was lit. Yeah, no, sexy hell of cool.

That's my, that's my wife, man. Sexy. I've been trying to meet sexy for a little minute now, you For me, so meeting her and she was he was hell of cool, that she was hella fire you for me. It was a little easy shoot. I do. I want to say this, bro. I know it's not your responsibility, but I always want to say this when I come across

artists that are from here and they're passing the West Coast hemisphere, it's not your responsibility, bro. But I want to say the same thing to 310 baby, niggas. Like, you could change this whole West Coast shit by helping them. Facts. You get what I'm saying? Because they don't never want to let us pass here. They're already passed.

Yeah. You get what I'm saying? You can empower people. And that'll put a knick on the Mount Rushmore. It's not just what he did. It's all the people after that he took with him. You know what I'm saying? And that could put the West on back to where we used to be.

Because one nigga get on trans-e, whatever the West Coast shit is. And then just be like, whoop, I made it. Yeah. Fuck these nicks. And that's your right. You got what I'm saying? You don't have to do shit. You get what I'm saying?

You owe nothing. You owe nothing. You don't owe these niggas a damn thing. You know what I'm saying? But I just like to tell niggas that that just put that extra legendary stamp on the nigger name. You know what I'm saying? When he get there and be like, I'm going to open this door for everybody here. And we're going to change this shit out of the whole.

You want to put that in your ear, game. No, I've officially been thinking about that and I do want to be like one of those people or the person to do that. Especially coming from the I.E. And always never looking at like the whole L.A. I.E. versus Stingwood. I'm down to work with everybody. You feel me, niggas can end all that shit. Yeah, yeah.

And then I'm also trying to, yeah, end the whole like, though, just LA artist type shit, like working, you feel me, you feel like, you feel, or LA. It was crazy down south, crazy down, you for me, everywhere. So, yeah, now. We have a stigma with our music. A lot of it doesn't, and that's what my whole point was they try to put on us that we can't pass the West Coast or y'all music won't get played here. It's because when a nigger do, he don't do features with other nigs that he don't put them other

Wesco's on so these outside ears can hear it because we already got this name on this to, ah, West cause, I don't want to hear that shit. You know what I'm saying? And niggas like you, niggas like 3-1-0 baby, niggas like Roddy Witch. Like those, those can be, you know what I'm saying? Like, that could be the beginning of the,

nigga, this shit coming back full force to where we're now a powerhouse in the game again, because we're not. Yeah, and that's why Kendrick having A.Z. Chike. Amazing. And all that shit, that shit's fire. Amazing.

Yeah. It take, I know a lot of niggas want to do it, but it take somebody like you, You got the sound, you got the connection, you out there, you already have it for yourself. You got what I'm saying? It takes somebody who. And who don't got an ego and shit, you for me. I'm so glad that you said that game because you brought up something else I wanted to say,

but I didn't want to interrupt him. And I say, it's funny that you say that you say that make me feel even more right that. That you, you having a lack of ego is why are you right here. And what made me think that is when you seen true car saying he finished shoot a video and you said, I'm going. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm not. enough to that. Shit, I ain't going. And you just stopped yourself from potentially starting everything. Exactly. You good what I'm saying?

It's ego, bro. It's having lack of an ego and not had a problem with that myself. That's why I'm able to, you know what I'm saying? Reslect back. You got less of ego to get you so far, bro, right here because that lack of ego

because the niggal ego not coming. He's not going to walk up to you in a pool party and be like, hey, this my shit. You know what I'm saying? The niggas, these niggers, I'm not doing nothing. You know what I'm saying?

That lack of ego is what gets you there, bro. No, cats. And I think that's exactly what helped you fool and keep that shit. Yeah, absolutely. And it's, I, it's, it's, it's fire to see. It is great to see you transcend in that way.

And again, like, I would encourage you, make sure you get yourself on, but you are in a unique position to kick the dough down. And I'm down to work, and I'm for surely down to work with anyone. You feel me, down to work with everyone I make it make sense, you feel me for surely. So, Nick, tap in.

Oh God, we can make some fire shit. Go crazy. But beyond that ego, bro, it's high to hit a naked and be like, hey, Let's do X, Y, Z. Let's figure it out. Let's put it together. You know what I'm saying?

And clearly that's how he got here. That's how he got it here. Hey, let's put it together. True Carl, by this by Zay. Let's, you know what I'm saying? A big ego would have stopped all that and the nigger won't get nowhere. They wouldn't be nothing to, you feel me?

How hard were you trying to knock sexy Reds Dunies down? Be honest. Just keep in a bundle, brother. You were trying to beat Dunies. This is a nigga right here. Man, this is a big. No, I was just trying to you from me. Yeah, just work, you know what I'm saying?

We just had to make a song to the video, you know what I'm saying? Just work, strictly work. You want to keep it like that, bro, because you'll fuck up your name. Yeah. Yeah. Well, shut up to sexy, bro. Bitch, you get to tell everybody, he's thirsty as hell. Don't do no sound with him.

Relationship blue. Yeah, especially because sexy, we love sexy, but she talks and she posts. She posts screenshots from rappers. You don't want to beat one of those screenshots. In the ninth slide on the ground, bro. Right after Sosa. We don't know. I don't need that, brother.

Yeah. Shout out to sexy. Sexy hella cool, man. That's the home girl. So who else, um, who else on QC? Have you met? Uh, I met a Lil Yadi, uh, I met Lil Yadi like three times. Last time I was out there, we went to like, uh, it was like this like fashion, what was it

like a fashion show or like clothing shit? It was like, they had hella clothes and shit, so we were just walking around. That's why you got those cool shoes on her? Yeah, no facts. We was just, we was just walking around. And just getting like hella clothes and shit, you know, supporting them, you know, the brands out there, the Atlanta brands out there. I met him in the studio before out there too. I'm going to link up with S-Y-J-JN.

I haven't met like a lot of them so far yet. But yeah, just really just Yadi. How long have you been signed? Like January. What was your first big purchase? You got to ask you, dude. You got to ask, though. I literally always saw.

My first. I know. I literally said. I literally said to when I, when they asked me these questions in this interview, my first big purchase when I got signed. Oh, my goodness. You know that Louis Vuitton jacket on wearing that ghetto music video? That shit was seven racks, nigger.

That shit was like a one out of like 20, one out of eight. I don't know. It was, nigga, got that shit in Miami. Same day we had to shoot the video. I'm like, nigga, I got to wear some fly shit. But it made you. It makes me feel great, nigga.

I was like, shit, I'm a nigga. Hey, the YouTube monetization is almost paid for it now. Come on. You're good. Come on. Come on. That's shit. I'm fucking tell you, bro, when you,

even if you don't come from just completely being broke, but that shit different. You feel me? It's different, I'm looking at the shit, like tap to pay. Ugh. Oh, that way.

Yeah. I remember how I felt, nigga, I know you probably out of way crazy grassland than I got. I know when I woke up and seen that shit in my face, I almost like. I almost cried. How did you feel? No, I feel great.

Especially that shit was, she was during Thanksgiving too. So you get the help with the family. You get to actually, I'm a man now. How that's been crazy? I remember how that felt great. It felt good. You feel me? Christmas was a better Christmas this year and all that.

You feel me? So yeah, nah, it felt great. Now, I'm sure moms and them looking at you different now, now, I ain't no more hooligan in the studio. Yeah, nah. You feel me? Mons? You feel me?

She knows she knows now really, you know what I need to do. I'll be throwing her shit every, every, every couple of it's all, every week and shit. You feel, you know, be blessing her. It feels good to bless her now too. That's for surely, like, something I always wanted to do. That's a hard feeling to describe of with somebody take care of your whole life. I remember how my mama felt when I first was able to walk in there. My mama first Chanel shoes, she still got them.

She's tripping. Yeah. And I'll be like, see, this is why you my, I love you because they, they, they really, like, savor shit when you do things for him. Like, nigga, it's important. Yeah. It's not nothing about the shoes. I bought my mama some pink balinese.

She's never worn them still. I got mad. I'm like, I should have bought them myself. I was doing myself. You got to look at the kind of shoes she got already in the closet and get designer versions. My mama like little sleek, little sneakers, like little small skinny sneakers. So I just got some Chanel ones like that.

Okay, okay. When you go to out there realm, I've got my pop some high top of yours. They like, what the fucking? Yeah. I'm like, nigga, give them back. Yeah, he's tripping. He has not touched them, bro. High top of yours with the Dior sign all over.

You want to chase. You want to chase. You want to chase. Won't touch them. Same. My mom, I'm a nurse. I'm probably getting some, like, some, like, some comfortable shit. Get her some little slick, some comfortable shit.

Facts, shit. But now, having dudes around you, you know, you said you got to meet Yadi a few times, having, like, P and them and, you know, in your corner, have they been, like, trying to teach you about financial responsibility and, like, business moves? and, like, what to do with your money besides spending it? I mean, I haven't got, like, that deep in conversations with them with that, but for surely, like, my manager and my brother, he, for surely is super into, like, financing and super into hell of businesses, so he for surely be keeping me.

Wait. Is that your biological? Yeah, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's my brother right there. You feel my manager, shout out to my boy. A syndicate management, we're going to go take over the world, you know what I'm saying. You could tell the way, like, he, you could tell this dude is very invest.

and your success and cares about you, bro. You can just tell, by the way, it's like, it's damn near like he's there with you type shit. So that's beautiful. And that's what I'm telling an artist that got to find, bro, because management could make a break you. Like, for real, for real. That could literally be the one thing

that could have you own or nobody is your management. And I always say managing is a selfless job. It's a selfless job. But you really got to be, you really got to be there for the person. Because if not, it's like, it's rare to see when something's going well for you and a person is sitting by you is smiling and it had nothing to do with them.

Yeah. That's rare to find. They have to put, a manager has to put the artist above themselves. And if a manager is not willing to put more time into you than you are, then that's not supposed to be your manager. Unfortunately,

I've had a difficult time finding that. It's a blessing. You're very fortunate that you are coming in the game with that and is somebody that really has your best interest in mind because it's your own blood. Yeah. Bro, so with your discography, I didn't see you did some, some Afro beats, some U.K. shit. What made you do that?

And what made you go from that to the sound that you are today? Or how did that happen more? Shit, so my sound is very, like, versatile. I'll say I'd be going back and forth from, like, the melodic shit, shit, like singing for the females, like vibe, bouncy, melodic shit for the females. Like I said, I'm Nigerian, so I could tap it with my Afro beats type shit. You gotta add you. That's like, yeah, you would have been foolish tonight, right?

You know, that's more that coming soon, too. Huge wave. It comes every few years. You from my always say reggae, Afro beats. It comes in waves. Yeah, it's going to be dance hall, the Afro beat, the reggae tone. Every five years, you got an African scene that shine hard, hard, hard, and then everybody tried to steal and take the wrong sources from it.

When Burnaboy came out. When Burnaboy came out, everybody all of a sudden was, you feel me, jock and Afro beat and all that stuff. So starting off with that kind of music, like what made you, start getting into the more, you know what I'm saying, the hit the more, you know, because ghetto is kind of like a, it's dancey, if a show got a West Coast, L.A. vibe to it, you know what I'm saying? Like, like, what made you transition? Yeah, I'll say when I started making party music, when I started, like, throwing parties.

When I started throwing parties and, you know, being promoters in the clubs, it's different when you're, like, actually in the environment of, like, but you see what make the party show. So I see what makes the party go up. I see, I hear what lyrics. girls are reef saying or screaming or root you, you know what I'm saying? So once you're in the environment really like knowing what's going on,

then it's easier to like, okay. That's such a good point. And it really, these rappers that are not outside that are basically just appropriating culture that they're getting through Instagram, you hear the difference, like, because they don't, like, these things

that they're not taking into account. How does this music resonate in real life? What really makes people move? The fact that you're paying attention, Oh, this type of bar is what makes the host turn. That's really, really intelligent right there. In fact, you got to, it's got to study this shit. And making music for the women is how you do it.

I always say, niggas don't buy nothing. Yeah, that's our best saying that, bro. Niggas don't support nothing. They're not coming to shows. It'll go back to ego. If it's not kids and women, good luck. And then guess what? When all the women is f***, eventually them niggas going to f***.

Exactly. Because they got to play it out when she get in the car. This is what she wants to. And unless you like me and you stick strict on the ox, you're going to get for the ox and say play the ghetto. No cats on me. Play ghetto around your bitch. Oh gosh.

That's my time. She got to have a great time. So when you was making music, you had that all. You already had the idea in your head. Like, if it's for the ladies, this one's going to go. Hell yeah, I do. I knew just having a few more fan base for show what's really going to keep your shit going and push you going to.

And at the same time, I don't really want to feed you. You feel me, in a club, brother, to show with a hundred niggas. You feel me? Yeah. You feel me, turning up or singing. That's some niggas aspiration. You feel me? Yeah.

Hell no, I'd rather be singing to 100 females, you know. Than a hundred guys. A bunch of dudes. And that shit don't look good. I always say that, bro. A hundred niggas on stage. I don't want to see that shit. I want to see a performance.

Get that niggas some stage. Yeah. Niggas standing like this. It's a hundred niggas with ski ass with a woman. We can't tell who's a rapper. Yeah. Man, it's a good performance. Bro.

Speaking of that, how much, how much do you, or how much rank do you put on performances as far as your whole package as a rapper? Because I feel like performances is huge. If you don't give a good performance, you're not a good artist. No, for surely. Live shows. That's actually, like, one of my favorite things about making music

is, like, performing. Like, bro, like, anytime I get on that stage, bro, like, man, I don't care about. None, you feel me, niggas, he turned up. Like, you know, and it's like, and I think it really just goes back to me already going up in the church choir, going up in school choir, performing, like when I started making music, performing outside, performing, just so I'm always just used to it already, so just performing, it's always fun to me. And then now when it's like, you got a viral song that everyone knows it, that no matter where you go, you can perform this song, and the crowd

going to turn up because they know the song, that shit is the best feeling in the world. You just go up there and rock out, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I love performing. That's why I'll say, like, my inspiring people would be like Jimmy Hendricks, Prince, Michael Jackson, You feel me, like, because those are all great performers, you feel me? Niggas don't say that. A lot of niggas don't say that. No, for sure. You fact.

They're some of the greatest performance ever did you like. For sure. So, yeah. Performance is lit for me and I can't wait to go on bigger, bigger stages. Like, niggas just did rolling loud. How was that? She was lit. Shout out to 310 baby for bringing me out.
