Starting point is 00:00:55 You feel me growing up? How was it? Early life? I was adopted when I was six. I was born in Inglewood. You said you was adopted? Yeah, I was adopted. Ah, let's get into that for real.
Starting point is 00:01:03 You feel me? Like, do you know your birth parents or like, you feel me? Like, is you comfortable talking about that kind of like? I'm comfortable. People be like, kinda like, you never know. Yeah, I respect that. I like that. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:01:14 If I'm not comfortable to talk about certain, I'm not fend to be the one. You know, I respect it. Because some people would be different. Some people would just get right into it. But no. I don't want to talk. I ain't gonna do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:25 My mom, she died when I was five. I was starting her. No, I was fine. So I got adopted when I was like six. But like until then I was just in foster homes like that, I stayed with my like, my aunt. It was like, you know, it's kind of rough. Like group homes like that? Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:40 How was that? But was you in group homes at L.A.? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lankaster all over. Like, you know what I said? A couple group, I moved to a couple different. That it was like, I don't got like angle. I don't got the best because I was like six, seven, you know, I don't got the best.
Starting point is 00:01:52 But I remember like the stuff that I didn't like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it wasn't amazing. You know what I'm saying? Right. So it wasn't good. It wasn't where you wanted to be. but you know, at least I have somewhere, you're going to say, like, we're on the street, you know what I'm saying? Hell, yeah, damn.
Starting point is 00:02:03 So from there, you feel me, once you get adopted, you feel me, like, do you remember, like, meeting them the first time? Like, how was that? The people who adopted me, the first, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. And what was, like, the first time? The first time, I was, like, I was, like, eight, seven, so I was, like, that was a while ago. I don't remember the exact feeling, but, like, it was, you know, because when you were a kid, too, you don't really got no, like, you know, you're just happy all the time,
Starting point is 00:02:25 most of the time, like, I already have, you know what I'm saying, so. I don't remember my exact feeling, but it was cool, though, you know what I'm saying? Definitely knowing that people were about to take care of me and the same to my situation. Nah, that's crazy, you feel me? Because, you know, a lot of motherfuckers would be too scared to talk about that or they don't want to talk about that. No, I used to be like that. I think it's good when people do talk about it because I know you probably got some fans that for sure didn't went through the same. You know, so when the mrs.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I know what I'm saying? A guy I listened to, you feel me, he didn't been through the same shit. That I'm making, you feel me, the fans lock in more, you know? No, I used to be like that. I used to, like, be cut off about that. I wouldn't tell nobody. I used to be embarrassed being adopted because my mom's white. Like who I thought I got adopted by a white person.
Starting point is 00:03:01 You know, I'm a black person. You know what I said? So you'd be getting that look when y'all be going places. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't that shit. I didn't feel growing up. I hated that. I swear I used to be embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I used to tell moms to drop me off like a street before school. So I could walk to school and shit like all that. Like all that. Like, no, like kids is me mean though. When you in school shit, they used to like talk to me, asked me to straight out like, why is your mom white and this and that like, I'm like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, kids don't got.
Starting point is 00:03:26 He's like, shut off about it. Now, I grew up, you know, I'm like, this woman changed my life. I'm gonna say, I'm not about to try to like hide that or this to my mom. You know what I'm saying? Facts, no, goddamn, that's crazy as hell. So like, you feel me, growing up, what kind of kid you was? You feel me, bad, class clown, chill. I wasn't bad, but I was like bad in class.
Starting point is 00:03:43 You know what I was like a class clown. I want to just make everybody laugh. I wanted attention. I was like NC2. I couldn't just sit in one place. I was just bouncing everywhere. I was like, I had good intentions, you know what I'm saying? The teachers always knew I was good.
Starting point is 00:03:57 They knew I was a good kid, but I just, I had to piece it all together, you know. Type shit. So what you was on, like, early, like, you feel, was you doing the sports, like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was hooping. I was hoop. I played basketball. I used to play basketball.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I went to Fairfax. I went to Fairfax Cathedral. I went to Hollywood High School. I went to Cleveland in the Valley. So I played basketball forever. I played travel teams, all that. That was my shit. Like, that's what I wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I wanted to be big in that. And I still love basketball. I still go play now and then, but I just kept getting injured. So I just took a break from that. When did you know, like, nigga, basketball, this ain't going to be the one. This ain't take. When did you knew, you wasn't going to the league? Well, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I'm like, I feel like anything I do, if I put enough time or two, it's nothing I can't do. I never had that thought. Like, I never had that thought. Like, I couldn't go to the league. I just had a thought, like, okay, I keep getting injured. Like, you know, it might be difficult. You know, it's like, do I want to put all this time and energy into taking this much more care of my body? So.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Well, it was this.

Starting point is 00:06:23 foot up I'm like I can't even play how I used to do it's to play so that's crazy so before that you never like you feel me ever thought about rapping at all it was never came across your mind no no no i did i used to rap for fun i used to still like while i was hooping and shit i'd rap for fun but it wasn't like you know something i really was serious about you know i wouldn't get my own sessions i'd go to the homie sessions you know down there who was some of the rappers you was listening to when you was growing up shit i you listen to you yeah that's right hey that's viral no cap i appreciate that for god i told you um who was i used Draco, RJ, YG, Tiger.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Do you feel like any of that, like, influenced you to want to rap or, like, influenced how you rap at all? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Like, like, like, people, like, lie, like, when they say, like, what you listen to, don't influence, yeah, dude, like, you know what I'm saying, like, everything, take everything, like, granted us all that shit, you know, like, for sure. That's a fact. All I feel like, you, for me, when you listen to shit, even if you're not trying to, like, I feel like subconsciously, pick up shit.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Literally subconsciously, oh God, that's the one, even because I, I, I, I, I try my hardest. Sometimes, like, an artist might hear something that sound like, I'm sorry. I don't try to do that. That's, I'm being me, you know what I'm saying? But I can't help what I've heard. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Do you remember, like, the first song you made, like, early on, you feel me? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I was at Fairfax. It was cool. Oh, matter of fact, I remixed Draco's on I'm impatient. That's all right. I remember that when I was like 16, 17, they were slapping my face.
Starting point is 00:07:46 That's cool. So my, so my, I started playing your shit. So this, like, all right, injury? I'm done or you were still playing? No, no, I was still hoping. I was still hoping. But I was always bad. I told you I was like a bad thing
Starting point is 00:07:54 and like a class. I couldn't play because of my grades. So you couldn't play on no school or shit. I only travel teams. I was on practice squaws in school. No play though.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You're going to take out of bad grades. Nigger had the math so you couldn't get on that squad. That's exactly high a beat. I'm good. I had the talent though. Like the coach would tell me like if you just got your shit together like you'd be this and that.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Oh God. So a nigga was trying to get you in there but the nigg just couldn't get right type shit. Oh God. You know how that's going to be. So you feel me, you dropped that little shit, then you start getting, you feel me, a little traction in that school.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You like how that's felt? Hell yeah. Yeah, actually, the hum me used to stop my shit, even if I didn't know that, you said, you know, they used to carry the speakers in the backpack during lunch,
Starting point is 00:08:29 so you used to stop my shit. Like, then lunch walking around, that'd be hard on God. I hear people tell me, yeah, there's pain, across the street at school and shit like that. I'm like, hell yeah, that's hard. So do you feel like that little,
Starting point is 00:08:40 that little first type of little, you know, attention and, like, did that make you want to do more? Did it make you want to rap? Like, you feel me? Like, what it? Or was you just like, not just a one-time shirt. Did it make you want to keep going?
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah, no, no, really, I don't think that moved me at all, though, you know. Because it wasn't no real motion, you know. Like, so I don't think that moved me at all. It was cool, you know, but, like, it was still just the passion. You know, I did it. I was going to do that regardless, even the people weren't listening to my shit. I was still going to probably keep making songs whenever I felt they needed to to or whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:05 So when you was doing this, did you have, like a, did you already have your name? Yeah, I used to call myself, Atswood Urban, because I lived in Hollywood. I went to Fairfax. You said what? I used to call myself Aitch with Irbin. That was my first time. H with what?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Urban. I don't know why. I ain't got a lot. I don't got to lie. I don't know why I used to call myself age with Irving. So where the fuck you get that shit from? Because like I lived in Hollywood at the time
Starting point is 00:09:27 and I don't know. I didn't go to lie. I was like 15, 16. I used to like Urban outfits. That was like one of my favorite store. H with an herb. Yeah. This is funny as well.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I swear to God. So where you get the leak you from? Where that shit come from? My name Malik. You know what I'm saying? And like, you know, like, they just started calling me that into school. Like, it really started at Fairfax. They just started calling me Leaky.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Like, you know, that was on back when Leaky Bow was popping. So they just called me Leaky Bo too. Like, I don't know why, but they just just, and then Leaky, it was just stuck. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying? I was like, I look like that. Like that, like. So you like this hit.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Yeah. Oh, God, it sounds good, too. Did you always had a 2X on it or two times? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Once I started calling myself Leaky, like, as a rapper, I always had the 2X just, it didn't mean nothing or anything. I just, you know, put it there. Because, you know, you feel me, I was, I asked my fans what they wanted me to ask you for me.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And I was one of the main questions, LA motherfuckers to ask me, what the 2X for? This nigga, gang bank? Yeah, I got that. Ask him what the 2X stand for? You feel what the 2x stand for? You feel what I'm got to say that. Tell the people, man, what the 2x come from and do you game, man? Yeah, no, person.
Starting point is 00:10:29 No, I don't bang. But I just put the 2X just to put it, like, realistically. I think I think I was influenced, like I said, I came up with that, like, when I was 18, 17, I think I was influenced by, I think it was like a Chicago rapper or something. I'm like that. I'm just going to say that. A lot of Chicago nicks had the two times on the end. God, I forgot who it was.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Or somebody, though. I think it was like, damn, I don't remember. I don't want to say like a hundred name. I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't know. That's what I don't want to say a buck name,
Starting point is 00:10:51 but it was somebody who did it like it made me want to do that. It was for sure somebody with two times. Oh, no God. You feel me? Yeah, a nigga just wanted to you. You feel me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. You feel like no cap. But I feel like, but I feel like,
Starting point is 00:11:10 I'm trying to look at like there's no like roadblocks in my way like I won't allow it but realistically though it is like you're not going to avoid the obvious like LA gangbangers who rap get like a way more love than LA artists who don't rap I mean who don't bang I'm saying that just because like it's kind of obvious you know you got a whole hood behind you you know what saying like compared to just you know the locals behind you you know like you got a whole who's gonna go for you know what I'm saying like who's gonna make sure like you're listening to this shit like they only gonna stop you're the trophy you know like so So do you feel like, like, how did you maneuver around that or like, did you ever had that
Starting point is 00:11:46 thought like, nigga, I don't game banging so, nigga, I gotta go extra hard or, you know what I'm saying? How did you maneuver around that shit? Or how do you still not game banging and being in the LA rap scene? Because Nick is hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just stay myself. I don't got no reason to bang it.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Like, you know what I'm saying? And especially, you know, I'm 23. I'm not going to start banging now. Like, you're going to say, like, so like, I don't know if my life was different years ago younger have been different but that's I was just always cool like you know I was basketball mindset you know so that's what I was on then it became music so and I don't know how just I just don't really worry about that I just um I'm getting I'm getting a lot of um like questions about questions about like questions I get a lot of good feedback about what I'm doing anyways right now so
Starting point is 00:12:27 it's like I don't really look at okay I don't bang is that getting in the way like do you feel like you because you already know how my was all I try to make it a big deal like do you feel like that's matter with who you work with like That's what I mean. Like, you feel me like when you really got to maneuver because it's like, yeah, you're comfortable with yourself. Like, I'm not going to be from nowhere, but do you feel like it's harder to maneuver with your networking with the feature and they're like, you feel like you do a song with
Starting point is 00:12:50 one from here. Then a nudge going to have problems over here. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, do that. Do that come into play when you pick with who you want to network from here. I feel like whoever I network with should know that I don't ban. They know I'm not on that. So if you look at me any type of way or feeling type of way towards me because I want to
Starting point is 00:13:06 work with somebody else who might be from my opposite, except from you, like that's going be on you like because you know I don't bang like and especially if we're just working nine times at a 10 like you know work is work like we may not even just be boys so if we just working like business is business you're like I'm not sure boy you can't get a flat of me for doing something with somebody else like because you know these niggs be taking that serious isn't my yeah yeah like a nigga I feel like he could claim you because you're doing so on with a you know what I'm saying and you know so I just wanted to ask that question for you know the up-and-coming L.A. who don't gang banging and they trying to find their footing or they are
Starting point is 00:13:39 feel like they got to with one side or, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. You feel me? Like, what's your, like, I advise to a n-uh, who, you feel, me, not from nowhere,
Starting point is 00:13:46 L.A. rapping, coming up type of. Just do your thing. Don't let nobody put you in the lane or you only can fuck with them or you only could do this. Like, you do whatever you want. You can fuck wherever you want to, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:13:57 you know, music is business business, especially if you don't bang, you know what I'm saying, you've got nothing tied to you. And don't tie to nothing to yourself by doing that. Right. Don't tie yourself to nobody on God.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Hell yeah. If you had to put a name on your style of rap, what would it be? Different. I've been using that word different a lot lately. I say it's different. Like, you know, it's different because, like, it's different. You feel like I don't know anybody sound like you, like your original type of shit. I was going to say that.
Starting point is 00:14:22 You're going to say that. I don't like to say that. But, like, yeah. Niggit, another question is, bro, do you have any relationship with West Coast artists? You feel, me? If so, who? Yeah. I f*** with Lil Vader.
Starting point is 00:14:35 He cool. He hard. I f*** with radio bass, he hard. Smooth, nigga. He's good people. Yeah. It's a lot of artists. My homie chink, he hard.
Starting point is 00:14:49 She been rapping for a long guy. I'm God. Hell yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of niggas. A lot of niggas. How you know cheetah, nigger? I see your video, then you got cheated in the back in here. You know, a nigga went to Dorsey.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, okay, okay. So I see this nigga, I'm like, this nigger at L.A. For sure, for you, from when I was doing my research and shit, Because I had already came across your music and shit. But you know, a nigga didn't do like super research on it. Like I had been heard shit talking. I had been heard, you know, that kind of shit. I had been heard too rude, nigga, off SoundCloud before.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yeah, that's whole. Type shit, you feel me? So I'm like, but I didn't like go dive in and do my research. You feel me in time? Like, you feel me, you feel me, you feel me, I'm like, I cheated in the back. Yeah. I'm like, bro from LA type of shit.
Starting point is 00:15:27 You feel of me? I know, I know Chita just because my boy J.T., that's my brother, he made my song FaceStats. And you know, they both dance, they squabble up, they do this and that. So, yeah, I literally met Chita through Day T. I remember I met him at like, I think it was Finna Fettys, but before they close down. I put that shit in my song too. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:44 You look, niggins. In your opinion, bro, what's one of the biggest misconceptions about being a rapper that you feel like people think or like, you know, like that's an idea that motherfucker doesn't like that really ain't like that. Shit, realistically, like all rappers rich, like, you know what, just in the last couple days, I didn't talk to a couple different girls telling me, oh yeah, you got this and that, you got this, I'm like, I didn't say I didn't. I said I didn't, but you know what's like you just think I got this though just because
Starting point is 00:16:09 I'm doing like you know what I'm saying like I'm not even blown up yet. Right. I'm not even fame. I'm not able to say like you think I got this now? That's crazy. Hell yeah. That's one of the biggest misconceptions for so. Nigger did you notice a difference of you feel me how I treated you before you start rapping
Starting point is 00:16:23 to now? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. How you feel about that shit? That shit, it'd be funny. It'd be funny. It'd be funny. It'd be cool though, you're going to say it's like it's a, it's a win always. Give me an example of how I will treat you different now.
Starting point is 00:16:38 So you might want to work with somebody like, like let's say artists, for example, for artists, you might want to work with somebody. They'll throw you prices, like just out the gate, you hit them, hit you with a price. Let's say a couple months later when you actually pop and shit like that, they hit you, they follow you. What's the deal? Let's work. Let's get it in.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Like, you know, shit like that. Or DJs, you hit them spin your shit. They spin your, they don't know. Nigger don't even open that. Yeah, want to you to spin it. something like that or just tell you they'll play it and never play it. That's a fact. DJs come to come around.
Starting point is 00:17:09 DJs be gatekeeping, bro. For sure, for sure. But DJs, they'll show the most love too, though. They'll also like, they'll have you on top. Nah, that's a fact. For sure, for sure. Niggia, I know you still early on in your career, but when you first started making music, like, did you feel like your friends and your family was like supporters and shit?
Starting point is 00:17:26 No, not necessarily. But that's, that was, that, that's, that, like, feels the drives there as well. But like, you know what I'm saying? So I'm big on it. I'm not a complaint. I'm not a cry. I'm not going to, you know, so like, so I remember my homies. They used to like, we'd be in a car going places, this and that.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Basically, moral stories that would never be slapping my shit when we're out, like sliding all together. That shit, I used to be in my mind like, God damn, I got a tape. Why these niggas not slapping my shit? Right. Like, nigger, y'all would tell a little dark happy birthday and shit. Yeah, like, I don't got. Nigger won't play my mixtape.
Starting point is 00:17:57 That she used to have me hot. I never said nothing. I would never say nothing. And, um, one day at all. I said something to the homie, like, you know what I'm like, damn, niggas don't never slap my shit, you know what I'm saying? He just told me straight out. He was like, man, you got to make some shit we want to listen to. Like, I wouldn't take that, like, personal at all. I'm like, okay, that's what I got to do. That should make you want to go harder. Yeah, yeah, that's what,
Starting point is 00:18:14 because literally like, that was one of the main thing that made me want to go harder. Like, being with the homies, I'm never slapping my, not hearing my song come up on the playlist once. None of my songs. I'm like, damn. I'm doing something wrong. Do you feel like, because I'll be feeling like, bro, niggas should be hard and and niggas would be haters because other people are not playing it. Oh, no, for sure. It's the same song from last week, but now other niggas is playing in. Now you want to play it.
Starting point is 00:18:36 That's true. That is true, too. You ain't got a lot of that too. I ain't go to lie to you. I've done that before. Like the homie, I remember the homie to play the song from me before and I was like, I was feeling it, you know what I'm saying? Then, like two more of the homies play that shit like another day like, you know, a while
Starting point is 00:18:51 ago type shit. And I came back to the hummy, I played that song, not even knowing that he had put me on that song. I was slapping it. He was like, bro, I put you on it. You wasn't fucking with this, bro. This is weak. I don't God.
Starting point is 00:19:04 That shit, like, I feel like that just, like, natural. Like, you're saying, like, sometimes, like, you just got to. It got a growing. Yeah, it got to grow on you. You got to grow on you. Hell yeah. Because on God, I feel like sometimes, bro, like, when a nigger start early on, like, it'll be hard, but a borg who just won't support it.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I feel like people followers, bro. Yeah, no, for sure. See everybody supporting it, be like, let me give it a chance. Or you ain't never seen somebody post a music video and they only got a certain amount of views and you just, you scroll. But niggas, see that bitch with a million, they be like, somebody. Somebody, let me go Clint. Somebody listening to it.
Starting point is 00:19:33 You feel me? Yeah. Type shit. So I'll be feeling like we got to give my fuck the chance, you know what I'm saying, who don't always got that kind of shit. Everybody who don't got views, it should be hard. Nigger just listen to that shit. Oh, no, for sure, for sure.
Starting point is 00:19:45 You find some sleepers like, I just got on the niggas song like last week. I was just doing a live podcast with Charlie Cinco. I don't know if you know the DJ. I know exactly what the DJ nigga who do the little reels and then you're doing the little playlist and shit. I did a live podcast with him. People sent him. their music in and shit like that to get reviewed.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Was a nigga in there named Two Tones or something like that? I think that's the name of two tones. He sent the song, it was hardest. It really caught my ear because he sounded like Young Thug, but disregard that. That's like a knock, but not necessarily because his song was hard, but it just sounded like Young Thugg. It caught me.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I was like, damn, this nigga sound like Young Thug. I ended up getting on it. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's hard. And not like that. I haven't never heard of him before, you know what I'm saying? But I just, I heard something, you know, like, through the gate run.
Starting point is 00:20:27 You know what I said? So you show love to up and coming, about it. Yeah, because I'm still up-ac-coming, like you're saying, so I feel like that's how you stay on top, too. Like, you got, you got to keep with people like crowds that you don't know of, you know of you, you know what I'm saying? Like, so they know of you. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Because, nigger, y'all could always mix fan bases. Like, I feel like niggas would be scared to do a feature with a niggas. Niggas be trying to gatekeep fans when nine times that I tell you do a song with a nigga. He got fans that don't know you and you got fans that don't know him. Niggas got a mixed the fan bases in it and stop doing so much gatekeeping me from. I feel like networking and really be the key to this shit, bro. Niggas don't be, you know what I'm saying? Niggas be too stingy with the fame when it's enough fans for all of us.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, no, that was my thinking too, because when I heard the song and I checked this page out and shit, like, I make sure everything made sense too before I just got on the song, then it's charge nothing like, just love. I was seeing, like, you know, he had traction on that song. Like, all those people was posting this song, tagging him in this song. Like, I'm okay, my mom, how my mind works, this might be his hardest song, one of the harder songs, you know. You just need more eyes.
Starting point is 00:21:25 We just need more eyes, especially if I get on it, like, you know what I'm saying, like, all those people, I have no idea who listen. to him like who he knows you gonna say they gonna once they hear me on it that's some that's more ears i'm getting that's a fact yeah because i'm not as i'm saying i see all these people posting like all his people you know on his page his story posting i'm like somebody like that shit clearly you're not you not the only one who like this shit yeah charlie single's stupid turned up yike mike was playing this too all them was playing so i'm like that's crazy so basically you if you feel me nigga if you got some hard shit he don't get a fuck about the views none of that
Starting point is 00:21:53 you feel me man let it let a nigga hear it you feel like it if he like it he gonna yeah i'm god if i like that's like you i like me i'm a artist I'm a artist I like music. I feel like, bro, that's the problem right now. A nigger won a rap, and then you ask him why he make music. Yeah, I'm trying to get rich. Yeah, man. And it's like, damn, so I just feel like that put a ceiling on a nigger
Starting point is 00:22:12 or you'll do anything, like, it's no art to you. You know what I'm saying? It's no level of creativity. And I feel like you'll do anything when you don't really give a fuck about the art. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like we lacking that. You'll do anything for the money. For sure, people will do anything for the money.
Starting point is 00:22:25 If that's what it is, like, you know, like, because that's what they need. That's what they're after. That's a fact, bro. Do you feel like your personality showing your music? And if so, in what way? For sure. Like, so I know, people always tell me, like, damn, like, you talk just how you rap, like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:22:43 Like, your rap, like, is how I expect you to sound, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, so that's one. Then, um, I say my personality, like, I'm outgoing, like, I don't really, like, hold shit back, I don't really, um, sugar cold. Like, I just say what I feel, you know, um, yeah, I feel like, I'm like, I'm not like a down type of person, so I'm, I'm like a, person too I'm like a more hyper type of person so that's like my music sound anyways I'm an upbeat type of artist up tempo type of so you feel like it bleep through your work uh type shit so nigger how do you feel like your music has changed since you first start rapping like you feel like it's any different like you feel me break it down
Starting point is 00:23:13 nigga yeah oh man man I uh shit I first start rapping I need to tune all the time like you know to even to rap like you what I'm saying now hearing that this sounds crazy how do I need tune to rap That's why I have to emphasize me. How do I need to rap? Like if you can rap, you don't need no tune to rap. You can rap without being recorded. You can rap in the band lab, you know what I'm saying? Dax.
Starting point is 00:23:36 So I just got like, and it comes to confidence though, my confidence. That's what it is, my confidence. Just shot through the roof. And it's with the support though. It comes with support, you know. You only could be as confident as as much support you have. That's a fact. It grow.
Starting point is 00:23:50 You feel like, as your supporters come, the confidence grow. You know what I'm saying? Because I feel like nowadays, bro. So everybody rap. So it damned their nigger don't even be confident to call themselves a rapper because it's kind of, everybody rap. That's why I'd like to say, I would like to say artists too because I could sing too, you know what I'm saying? So that's why I, you know. So was you on that first?
Starting point is 00:24:08 Like, was you on the R&B type shit first or do you feel like that bleed into your shit? Like, or like, do you want to get into that? I'm getting into that. I'm in that. You know, they're going to hear that when I drop. I'm going to mix it up and do some rap songs and singing songs. I did that like my last two tapes. I did two different sides.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I feel like I messed up doing that. On the A-T-B-T-T. Yeah, I feel like they didn't really show love to the A side. They really fucking with the B-side. I'm like, all right, you're gonna have to put the A side to because this shit is hard. And, you know, I understand. Back then, I wasn't just as hard at my singer shit as I am now. So it's like- I feel like that's a good show though.
Starting point is 00:24:42 You feel like you do A and B and you see what they're fucking with. And on the next one, all right, I see y'all not f*** this. Let me tweak this. Change that. I'm gonna put them together. I'm gonna put them together. I'm gonna put it like something together. Like, I feel like that's dope, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I feel like it's good to see niggas doing versatile shit and my guy's not stuck in their ways and staying in the box you know what I'm saying? Like, niggas speaking of that kind of shit like what's your creative process in the studio?
Starting point is 00:25:05 Like what's your kid? Like what you need in the studio? What's your process? You feel me? Walk us through like, you feel me, studio session with Leakey. All right, studio session with Leakeyke. I need the cameraman.
Starting point is 00:25:15 You got to have a cameraman. You got to have a cameraman. I need shit. It depends. I meet in the studio with Cam. so he got beats with me. I'm in the studio with Sato.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Most like, like, nine times of ten, I'm in the studio with Cam, or Sato. So if I'm with Cam, he got beats, he's cooking some shit up, we loading or whatever. He got some shit going, we good.
Starting point is 00:25:34 If I'm with Sato, I'm pulling up beats from whoever, like, you know, like, I'll fuck a lot of producers. So whoever sends me some shit that I'm feeling, I'm doing that. Then I got to have some girls,
Starting point is 00:25:44 like some good looking, pretty girls around just because, like, it's like, Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, I need to, because I make music for women, like, you know what I'm saying? So that, then I need a bottle.
Starting point is 00:25:53 You know, I need a bottle. I'm truly like, set the mood. I need some buds, grabber. And that's it, that's it. Do you be punching in or you be writing? I do both. I do both. I ain't gonna, I just started punching in six months ago.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Like all my music before, I used to write all my shit. Just six months ago, after I dropped, Go Leaky, everything after that, it was all freestyles. You like it? You like my stuff? Hell, way better. Like, I could make a sharp left, sharp right whenever I want to, you know what I'm saying? You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Your creativity a little more. Yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt. You can't hear how you want to sound when you're writing. You know what I'm saying? You can't hear how an engineer will make you sound by you writing. So I learned that. I still do both though. You know what I don't run away from the pad.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Mm. So do you ever go in that motherfuck up, like a couple bars written and just freestyle or you just usually just, you feel it'd be freestyle at all now? No, my song added up. I went in there, wrote four bars. I have four bars with him, freestled the rest. A couple other songs are the same. I still, I still, a majority of my songs, I freestored all of it.
Starting point is 00:26:50 But some songs I will write some, you know, like if I feel it's necessary. I feel like, realistically, the songs I write on are the ones that's like, okay, this beat is difficult. It's not just coming off the top of my head when I'm in the booth. I'm going to come out of this through it. Even now, even like still now when I'm in the booth with Cam, I'll tell that nigga, I'll probably like have four bars off the dome or come out, get stuck. I got to write something real quick, hold on.
Starting point is 00:27:09 And then go back in there after I wrote that, freestyle that. Yeah, because speaking of having your producer in that muff, me personally, I don't really like what niggas see me beats. Like, I'd rather have you in there with me so we could. for me bounce off each other, like, what's your opinion on it? Like, would you rather have them up or you don't care? Would you rather have them narrow with you or would you rather have him send it? It depends.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Like, if I know you hard, you can't send it. You know what I can't say? Like, just send whatever. Like, you know, like, a couple other hummies, pre-low, JT, just send it. I know you hard. We didn't make songs before they send it. If I don't really know you hard, you probably have to pull up, like, you know what saying, like, let me hear what you're working with.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Or even then, you probably can send something, like, before I go to the studio, let me hear what you're working with, you know what I'm saying? But I do either or, really simply, but I just don't like when producers, I don't know, I don't got a relationship, spam me. Like, that shit is dead. Like, especially I ain't got on your beats. I'm not going through them. Yeah, it's man.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Man. Not going to, I'm not. I ain't like, even producers, even if I got on your beats before, don't just spam me. Like, don't just spam me. Like, don't just spam me with beats. I'm not about to just listen. I don't got, like, my own studio, you know what I'm saying? Like, so like, don't do that.
Starting point is 00:28:12 That's annoying. So what you want them to do? You feel like hit you and be like, all right, I got this for you and send you a specific, like, beat pack? Like, how you want him to go about it for a lot of people who are watching this? Shit. I feel like it fluctuates. So I'm not easy to work with. You said, I'm difficult, bigger.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I can tell, like, just listen to what I say. Shit, I go through different phases. Like, you know, it'll be times like, okay, you can send me some beats because it will be times when I don't, I feel like I don't have beats. I always have beats. But it will be times when I feel like I don't have beats. I got to go through, like, the niggas who have been sending me, go through. through that beats real quick, see what these niggas talk about, do I like any of these beats? It'll be times when I'm not listening to no beats, just put up on me, play that's in the studio.
Starting point is 00:28:51 So, like, it just fluctuates. You got to, like, just hit me, like, just create a relationship. I feel like that's the best. I feel like that's exactly how that much should be, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like most artists usually work better. Like, we see, like, a, like, a metro and future or shit like that. When we see they got that relationship, like, I feel like it hit different than just a random producer. You don't really know, like, you know what you fuck with.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Like, Nick, speaking of the, speaking of a producer in general, nigga, you ever had the, where a nigga sends you a beat, nigga, you used that. And you look up, another nigga got that bitch and he got a song to it. Man. How you feel about that, bro? What? Speak on that. That just happened twice to me. I ain't got like twice.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah. Twice. Two of the homies, too, they're my homie, producer homies. Like, they did me janky. Oh, God. I made two hard songs. Cam just told me one of them, the homie sold one of the other. beach to somebody, I guess.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I made another song. I guess I heard the nigga Wally on it. I'm like, damn. Now, not what the fuck I'm going to do? Yeah, on God. Like, damn, like, because my shit was hard, but, you know, like, come on. That shit, that shit. I don't like that shit.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Like, we got to get organized and, you know, I shouldn't have to deal with that. Facts. I feel like the only way to get around that is make them pull up. Make them pull up and make this beat in front of me. Nick of this minds. I don't want to hear none of that shit. I don't want to hear nobody else on it. Pull up.
Starting point is 00:30:11 make it, you feel of you? So you don't got to have that problem. No cap. I put up on one of the niggas, though, when he had to be for me. That's what I'm saying. Oh, you still? That's crazy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Niggas have all out. I'm going to sell this. I get, not. It wasn't even him. It was his boy, but it's like, damn, you got to have that lock. Like, you got to have that locked. Like, you got to have it locked. I just made this hard shit.
Starting point is 00:30:32 No cap. All right, so, bro, you feel me? We know, know you've been rapping for a minute. You know what I'm saying? Type shit. Like, when did you start taking it serious? So what made you want to really, really take a series? You feel me?
Starting point is 00:30:45 I started taking the shit series for when I was, I say when I was like 19. Yeah, like 19, like around COVID. I think, yeah, that's when I made too rude around then. I make too rude. That's the first shit that I had heard. That shit, oh, that's why I started taking a series because I post that shit on Twitter. I remember I was like, I used to be thirsty. I'm still a thirsty artist, but not like how I used to be.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I used to be on Twitter, like putting my shit under every thread. Yeah, spamming. Under every thread. like any popping thread with more than like 10k views or comments just i'm under it with my shit um go listen to this you haven't heard this i did because i had the meme for it i had the um the rigby that's high work but you put a video on your shit get the fuck around be out of here god i had the mean for it um so i just put my shit under that every post i seen and one of them just went viral it got like 40 000 views and like 100 comments like the 100 week shares
Starting point is 00:31:35 then um my the song on sound cloud and went to like i think like 27 000 views and You know what I'm saying? I was like, okay, you know what I'm saying? Something's shaking. I could do something. So I started taking it a little bit more serious than, then I think like maybe like I ain't go out right after that. I took my foot off the gas.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I shouldn't have, but I did. But five months later, that's why you think you took your foot up to gas? I still didn't take it serious, you go what I'm saying? Like this, I still didn't take it serious. I was young, you know, like I didn't really think too much. I'm having fun. You were thinking this for getting a nigga, this fun of changing a nigga life. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Oh, God. I didn't think at all. That song would be brought up in my interviews and Five years later from now, like I didn't think that at all. So, man, you feel me, speaking to, niggins, just going viral, bro, like, how did go go viral, bro? Like, do you know how, like, exactly or, you know what I'm saying? Like, how did go just, nigger,
Starting point is 00:32:26 like, everywhere, niggas see on, I'm gonna fick on TikTok, that my fucking on rills, like, yeah. Like, what was the first moment? Like, first, not, fuck that. Walk us through how you made it go. Our, I was in studio with camp. We made another song, we made another song before that was called Backdoor. We didn't drop the A-S coming.
Starting point is 00:32:41 But I remember him and Nolan, they put up two beats. It was like, you know, they was telling me the goalie one, that's the one I'm going to fuck with the most. So they already knew. Yeah, but at the time, though, I was like, I like the other one. I did like that. I did like that one, but I was really on the other one because I was, I'm trying to like, it was like, it was like a singing beat.
Starting point is 00:32:56 So I was really trying to get on that. So I was like, I like this. I'm going to get on this one first. Then I ended up getting on the goal leaky beat. And I just, when I heard it again, like, you know, when I actually got to listen to it again, I was like, oh, I'm tripping this beat. It's stupid. Like, what the, this is the one.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Like, oh, God, I heard that. You're like, I was bugging earlier. Yeah, I'm God, I was bugging. I went in there. I started getting ready. I stayed my eyelid, go. Go leaky. I always start my shit like that.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Cam, like, he told me, like, just, nigga, like, just say, go. Like, just do your shit again or like, just say, oh, I live. I'm going to take it. Make that the hook. Yeah, make that the hook. I don't know how that shit where you're going to say. Shout out to Cam. He got the ear.
Starting point is 00:33:31 He been this shit for a minute. He's not. He gave me the ear. I ain't got, he gave me the year too. Like, now, like, you're going to say, like, I've been hearing shit too. I'll be telling this nigga sometimes like, hey, bro, I ain't got a lot. Like, you should, like, I don't know the word for that. Like, you should flip that.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You should sample this. Sample this. Whatever. This is going to sound hard. Like, you know, make me say this shit like three times on this part. It's going to sound hard. Trust me. I remember one time this nigga is he, it was one time.
Starting point is 00:33:52 He was like, nah, I don't think that's going to sound hard. And I heard it though because I learned it from him. Like, he said he taught me that, like, you know, it's like, I didn't really, I didn't do that That just like was like a big accomplishment to me. It's like, okay, like this is my producer. Like I feel like I show something too, you know what I'm saying? You're like, nigga, I got that ear too, nigga. Yeah, oh, God, that's how that went.
Starting point is 00:34:15 You know, we was just in their vibe, and oh, God. Damn, so when you, when you recording that motherfucking, you hear it back like, do you feel like, did you ever had that thought like, this the one? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. I remember when we made it, I was sold. I was sold on it for show. I remember I had to, it wasn't even my studio session.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And the homie had a studio session at Jackpot Records in North Hollywood. And we was all up there. I played that shit for the homies. And they were all like just out in the other room just chilling. And like they heard it and they came like, hey, what's this? Like you know what I'm saying? And I just knew like, yeah, that let me know them. Because at the time, it's still on release, you know what sense?
Starting point is 00:34:52 I'm just playing it a couple places I go. I'm going to the gym. I'm playing it, niggas outside the car swarming around the car hearing the song. That's crazy. Like, hey, this the one of these bitches at the gym coming over here. Like, you know, we know a couple of home girls at the gym. They're telling me like, yeah, this's the one too. Like, you know, I shot a video on the boat with the homie bravo.
Starting point is 00:35:11 And I was playing a song up there with JT&Cita. As a matter of fact, they was up there. We was like, yeah, this is one of all the girls up there. It was like, they were dancing and shit like that. Everybody was telling me, I just knew it. So how much longer after you recorded did you drop that one? I think maybe like a month or two months. So when you drop it, did it like immediately get traction?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Did it take some time? Like, how did it happen from there? No, I feel like it immediately took traction. shit like I remember when I just posted on Instagram before I even dropped it I think or maybe like yeah the day or two days before I dropped it I posted on Instagram I just posted snippet and they was they let me up in the comments you know like they they spam the shit they reposted all that had like 20,000 views maybe probably like 30 40,000 by now I don't know but it was just a snippet like maybe like 20 seconds 30 seconds so I knew like you know and then when I dropped it they just started going crazy um I started never working I'll start you know making sure I get plugged in with all the DJs
Starting point is 00:36:06 start sending my shit out and you know I created relationships with all the DJs so now like you know like they all like every DJ spend my shit even the ones I don't know because of the DJs I know because of the DJs I don't know to spend my shit you know what so you feel like that's a good job so you feel like DJs was a big part of your success oh without a doubt without a doubt like a huge part of it like for sure um you know what but like that's me though as well like you know what I took the initiative to go um facts to DM all these DJs that I don't know at all. Like, you know, sometimes I feel like I probably could, I probably a person wrong too.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Like, you know, I was DMing DJs without even following them, you know, or not even saying, how are you doing nice meeting? Right, just like, nigga, this is my shit, play this shit. I was saying, I was saying, I was saying, my DJ pack, you know what I'm saying? You still took some kind of currency because, you know, some niggas just dropped that link, like, bitch, play this shit. Facts, facts. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Some niggas don't even talk. They be like, niggins, link, play that shit in the club. It's a banger. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like you. You still, you feel me, but maybe you're right though, because you know, some DJs, they'll feel like, oh, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:37:09 Like, let's build a relationship type shit, you know what I'm saying? Or some DJs be trying to charge niggas to play their shit, too. What? Like, you said, like, a nigger ever try to charge you? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I had, um, only one DJ, only one DJ. I wouldn't, I'm not even gonna say him, but I don't gotta get a nigga, no club, but you can tell it like, you feel like, how that shit happened? I remember, it's crazy because, like, he knows me, you're gonna say he knows my music,
Starting point is 00:37:32 obviously knows of me. They, not like that, they play my shit everywhere. You know what I mean, like everywhere he beats too. Like, you know, like, they play my shit. Like, you know, like, you know I'm buzzing. Like, you know, like, you know, they know my song. And he hit me up one day, like, this is recently, too, you know what I'm saying? So this is when the shit is buzzing, you know what I'm saying?

And just knowing what I could reach, know what I could be. I feel like that's always what it got to be. Like, a nigga always got to stay hungry, you feel me? And always know, like you just said, like, you could always reach from farther from where you is. You feel me, nigga.
Starting point is 00:42:16 You could always go crazier. You know what I'm saying? No cat, niggas. Speaking of going crazy, bro, when was the first moment? Like you knew as far as like What did it go first viral on what go TikTok? Shit, no, it went viral first on Instagram
Starting point is 00:42:29 Instagram. So then it went viral on TikTok next. They start fucking on TikTok on God. Do you remember like the first moment like where it started going viral on TikTok? Like like oh shit like Nick I really got one. Yeah, yeah. When I started seeing like I know some girls in Arizona
Starting point is 00:42:43 they start using my sound like in Arizona like if they work at the clubs and shit like that the popping clubs I started seeing them use my sound and like the home girls is using my sound and shit. I'm like, that's all right. Like, you know what I'm saying? And people I don't even know using my sound, you know, like, I started seeing like Rotherinks and all that, like, you know, everything, just, you know, people doing the hair,
Starting point is 00:43:00 you know, like. Facts. I'm gonna crazy, you know, cap, you feel me? So, like, from that moment, do you feel like, even from that song, do you feel like that shit changed how you maneuver with the music? Like, what do you feel like go change for you? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, do you feel like it changed everything?
Starting point is 00:43:19 Do you feel like it didn't change a lot? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, do you feel like, how do you feel like go was for you, like, musically, you know? Yeah, no, it changed. It changed things. It changed how I operate and how I move. Music be for sure. Like, you know, I was, like I said, I was just having fun for real.
Starting point is 00:43:35 And now, like, you know, it's because I'm saying, like, it's got serious after that. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's, you know, a lot of story for me. So I just take music, like, way more serious now. Like, it's still so much fun. It's always will be fun. But, you know, a serious side as well. And aside of, it's like I'm learning, like, you know, I'm opening, like, it's so much more to learn, you know, musicically.
Starting point is 00:43:58 I'm learning about my voice. I'm learning different sounds like, you know, everything. Like, when I'm rapping, like, singing, whatever. Like, learning how to, like, co-produce, whatever, like, stay what sounds will sound good and this and that. When I'm getting engineered, if somebody's engineer me, oh, do this, try this, do this to the beat, do some kicks or put some reverb on my voice, put a gap, whatever, like, you know, it's still. with so much learning like learning everything you do so you still open you feel like just because i got a head like that on me like i got the formula like i could always learn more not for sure for sure but not to like you know what i'm not like i'm not like you know what i'm saying like i don't
Starting point is 00:44:36 feel like i just got it but like i know that i got something like you know what i'm very confident like when i when i hear certain beats i know okay i can make a hit i know like what i can do like you know what part of the beat or whatever i need to say this and that i don't how many times Yeah, how do you respond to the haters in the so-called one-head wonder comments that motherfuckers be dropping and shit? How do you respond to that bullshit? I don't even respond to it. I was like, look at it and just like laugh at it like, you know, like, okay, well, shit,
Starting point is 00:45:03 I'm going to make some more shit, like, you're saying, like, and I really have no reason to take that personal because, you know, so many people from my shit, it's like, you know, you can't satisfy everybody, you know, in life and anything you do, so. It's a fuck. I don't let that stress me out. And you got a discography. You feel, when I seen, like, certain people saying next time, I'm like, but Nick, got hell of songs.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? That's not thing. That's the song you heard. That's what I don't even think of, like, when it comes to that, like, I don't even, that's what I'm saying? I really don't even take it personal to the point. I don't even think about that, like, that come back where I can go, I got songs on SoundCloud that are, you know, over 20,000, multiple, like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:36 Like, or, you know, this and that, like, so it's like. You don't go off. So I don't even care. Like, I don't need to pay no attention to that. And I feel like that's the way to be as an artist, bro, because nigger, I feel like a lot of artists will take comments and make it affect the entire way they move, like people's opinions. It'll really drive everything they do. Like how you keep your head straight, you feel me, when my fucks, it's throwing all kind of different opinions your way and shit. Yeah, no, no, that should do be hard. Like, I feel like sometimes, like forget the comments.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Like, you know what I'm saying, like when people around you, you're going to say, because when you're blowing up, it's people around you who are, you know, like, in your ear. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, in your ear. forget like you know what you see on your phone because you can always shut that off and slide to a different post when there's people you know who are in your ear give you this this and that different opinions that gets way more difficult you know that's in real life so um like dealing with that is um I feel like I just talk to other people around me you know like um because I feel like um shit I ain't gonna lie that's probably childish I feel like my best reference to that is um like the avatar like you're gonna say like if you ask me like you know the avatar shit I feel like I could be the avatar um all four styles
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah, you know what I got, you know, I talk to this. If I need advice from them, I'm getting advice from them. If I need advice from him, I'm getting advice from them. Damn, damn. Some person might tell me something. I don't want to hear that somebody else who gave me advice to say, no, that's bad advice. I got to just take all, though, you know, and make my, you know, I'm saying. Still make my decision on the day, though.
Starting point is 00:46:58 You know what I'm saying? And I think that's exactly a good way to be, because I feel like a lot of people would let all these opinions with them. And then a nigger, you'll wake up, and the artist is a whole different muff because of off opinions and what other people say. nigger lose traction of who he is off all kinds of opinions and shit you feel me that's why i just you know for a month who are watching this and and don't know where they up and coming and want a rap you feel me like nigga stay on your own course you feel me the opinions that shit don't be
Starting point is 00:47:24 meaning nothing bro no cap nigga another thing i want to ask you is what's a dream collaboration that you could do nigger dead or alive with any artist um nip drako and um drake yeah nip Drake, okay, so, niggas, rest in peace of Draco, for real, for real, and no cat, the goats. Yeah, for sure. What you woulda, do you take any musical inspiration from any of them and if so, what? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, do you take inspiration from the people that you admire?
Starting point is 00:47:55 Yeah. I don't take sounds from Draco, like you're gonna say, I don't take it, like, I don't rap like him at all, I don't sound like him, but I like his beat style, like his selection and so I ain't a lot like, I'm getting like shit like that sound like Draco, types of shit sometimes. No, all the time you're gonna sing because I like my own shit. but like, you know, Draco, he got, his beats was stupid. His beat selection was crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Facts. Crazy. It was stupid. Oh, God. So I like, I like, I like, Draco beats for sure. Same thing with Nick. And I like to kind of like, sometimes in my music, I like to talk about, like, motivated, you know, sometimes, you know, just talk about how I was good at. Yep, you know what I'm saying?
