No Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. And today I'm bringing you the most important conversation that we could possibly be having. My man, Holly TV in here. Yes, sir. And we got that. Don? No, no, no, no.

I told you. That's your sponsor. I'm still trying to get mine. You valid. I ain't going to lie. The long dress is okay. It's good. I ain't going to lie.

I cheated a shot. See, I'll be drinking it, but I'm not like an expert to the level that you are. So I don't know. It's definitely done. It's done. It ain't Julio, but it's not. I'm jacking that. I'm jacking the liquid dot in there too.

I can't even remember. Who brought that for me the other day, the little darn Julio that I refused to drink. I forget. Nah, yeah, that's crazy, though. That's fire. Now, you've been showing mad love,

Adam. I appreciate it. We've talked about your shit and sang the song on so many different episodes. And it's crazy because, like, we're not saying it's a Roddy Rebel. I knew instantly that he was going to get it.

And I'm just like, yo, mind you, I watched the interview. And the moment I turned it off was probably the part, where you started saying it. Really? Yes.

I'm like, that's crazy. Nickers started attacking me and crazy. I'm like, that's fire. I'm like, he's way too Brooklyn and not know about the song. Yeah, he got to know about the lecal, Don, don't, darn, darn.

I grew up around all them guys, so for me, they're watching, for sure. Okay, hit me with a little bit of the history. Where exactly in Brooklyn are you from? And tell me a little bit about your upbringing. Hell, yeah. So I grew up in Brooklyn, East New York, for me? Like a little Brownsville,

a little everywhere, like a little Crown Heights, a little flat bush, but I've been living in East New York my whole life. Like real shit, like close to Pennsylvania strip. Like, you know, feel me type of shit. So yeah, I was just a regular kid, feel me. My mom is Caribbean, Guyanese, my father, African.

He wasn't really around a lot, feel me? You know, African fathers had life different, feel me? They got life different set up for them. What do you mean? Like that they don't stick around? I feel like it's not that they don't stick around, but they got their whole life planned out for them before they even know what they want to do.

Like, if they from Africa, like, they already married. They already got family, kids, all type of stuff. Your dad was already married before. before he had you. He had a whole separate family? Yes. And mind you, I'm just finding this out like two years ago.

Really? Yeah. It's heavy. So it's like everything happens for a reason. You know, for me, it's like you don't never know, but it's like you always,

I'm just a forgiven person. I don't care. I don't ever think about that shit being crazy. How many brothers and sisters? Yo, my father got like six sons. Oh, shit. My mother got like three sons and one daughter. So I only got one sister.

So it's kind of hectic grown up. Yeah. Not really. We don't all live together. The sons is all in Africa. Oh, all right. I never met none of them. Oh, okay.

Yeah, so I live with like three of my siblings right now. We got to take this Don wave all the way to Africa. Definitely. They're going crazy over there. They are. They're going mad crazy. Really? So I definitely want to fly over there.

I got my passport. I'm just waiting for the perfect time. I feel like I've gotten a much better idea of what it would be like to live in these little-ass villages in Africa and shakers on TikTok and Instagram reels. There's all these dudes just showing what their day-to-day life is like. And it seems like hard, but they're definitely making the best. I feel like I'm doing exactly what they're doing. I'm just going outside every day and doing stuff. That's what they do.

They go outside every day and they do stuff. Like, I feel like it's in my blood to do that. So it's like it tracks, you feel for me? It kind of tracks. So if I go over there, I know I don't got to worry about mad stuff that they don't got to worry about. They don't got to worry about. They don't got to worry about.

In our, like, environment or society, they don't got to think about. So they probably mad free. Like, they really got mad freedom and peace. Yeah. And everybody think they really struggling. and it's like it's better to have less type of thing. Okay. But so you said Brownsville.

I spent a little bit of time in Brownsville. How long? Who he was with? Like an afternoon. Okay. Who he was with? There's a BMX riding in Black Man. Okay.

A.K. Desmond Rhodes. Brooklyn legend. I went out there and there was a Dunkin' Donuts and I filmed him doing a crazy-ass rail hop on his BMX bike. Okay. Never went back. You'd be riding BMX? I used to.

Okay. No mind for rag bikes. I mean, Brooklyn guys are crazy BMX history. No, definitely. Greatest East Coast BMX rider all. time, Edwin de la Rosa. Okay, I'm going to have to research him. All I know about bikes is we used to steal them.

We love stealing bikes. We love stealing bikes and we love riding mad deep on bikes. That first dude, I mentioned black man. One time I went to a crib that he was saying that, like 30 stolen bikes in the hallway. Yeah, it's like when I was like young, it was like 2008. Everybody was stealing bikes. Now everybody be mobbing on the bikes. They just be outside doing wheelies and going crazy.

Yeah, that's right. Ringtone is you. Hello. Yo, everybody think that's me. me, look, I bought it from the apple store. It's saying, hello. Oh, okay, I thought it was the Don song. Hello. That would be a good idea.

Good, right? If this was 2008, you already would have done that. No, people already doing it. That's why I even think of it. I'm like, yeah, let them have their fun. Ringtones just aren't what they used to be. They're not. They last too long. Oh, that's a good point. We need a good loop. Yeah. You probably trim it down. But we needed the loop.

We need that loop, that good loop, that lasts forever. I think it would be funny if it was just Don. Don. Like, it didn't even get gone. And it was just the down. Yeah. Oh, it just keep going, Julio,

Julio, Julio, Julio. Fire. Oh, man. So many things about that song I want to discuss. Okay, so coming up out there, you just going to school, you have a pretty normal life,

or are you sucked into some crazy shit at any point? I ain't gonna lie, like, I feel like I was never sucked into no crazy shit. I was a curious kid. It's like a lot of people never understand the fact that they was just curious. So you got yourself into mass stuff, you feel me?

You just got no idea to get yourself out. I feel like I was always good at that, you know, no matter what I got myself into or what I got myself like, like if I got myself into something really deep, I definitely could get myself out of it, like, for sure, without having to tell my mom or something. Kids who grow up in New York from my experience have like the greatest survival skills and like ability to problem solve and figure shit out.

I swear to God, because you're not supposed to be outside, but that's where you want to be. So it's like being outside, you see so much that they're trying to, like, your parents trying to keep you away from. And that's not a bad thing, but it's like the faster you learn in New York. York, the better you offer yourself. It's better you off everybody. Kids in New York will be like six years old, taking the subway. Literally.

Like it's no big deal. Literally. Their parents have to teach the girls, hey, you can't walk down the street without a million miles trying to hollered you and kidnap you and shit. So you got to teach your kids how to navigate that. You got to teach the kids how to stay up the streets like on some gangster shit. Definitely. It's like one of the craziest places to grow up.

It's really not what you say is how you say it. So it's like, once you teach them in the most like responsible way, it's easy. Because my mom did it for me. She told me stuff, I still, like, learn my lesson by not listening, but it's like, once it's stuck, you're like, yeah, I know what's going on. But so you were outside, but you're also doing all right in school. Yeah, I'm doing good in school. Only thing I'm doing bad in school is just being a loud trouble maker or not a trouble maker, but like a class clown. I could kind of see that.

You feel me? You finish your work early. You want to bob to everybody. You feel me? You want to help people when you're not supposed to. Right. You feel me? Come to school late.

Like, I didn't really do nothing too crazy. I just was coming to school late. Still graduated. high school for me went to college dropped out signed myself out really for me so yeah I was I was doing good I ain't a lot we just having fun all right doing craziness so you were always kind of like the way that we see you nowadays where it's like you have a very fun vibe you're always about a good party yeah it's like I'm just like I'm with the shits right I'm a good harder person I'm just with the shits I'm a good harder person I'm just with this shits everybody know me as that for sure but that never got you

in trouble like outside of the school shit in terms of like you know be trying to be funny with the wrong person no yeah definitely but it's like it's like that's I said, you got to, once you live in New York, you learn how to handle everything. Like, you, and if you don't, it's survival instincts. So it's like, all I'm thinking is I'm going home today. I'm definitely going home today. And then it's either it gets worse or it get better, like in a positive way for me. And that's the most way to go toward it, bro.

Like, you can't really stop everything. Like, you can't control everything. So it's like some shit, you just got to be ready for me type of shit. That's how New York is. You got to be ready for it. But so you dropped out of college. Why? Because I was going for like, I wanted to be a teacher, but I still was doing content.

Like, I've been doing content since like 2010. Okay. Feel me? So I was always doing content, always making videos, always wanted to be an actor, stuff like that. It was always in the movies. But I dropped out because I was going to be a teacher and I was going for like, I never, I didn't choose business or anything. My teacher told me, go to college.

You should do it. Choose this. Boom. So that's why I just left. Like, the school I was in wasn't for me. Uh-huh. Okay. So you just weren't fucking with it.

But like in terms of the content, what did you start with? I was always doing comedic skits and stuff. Like, we used to, when I say Troublemaker, like we used to be like, you know, hood news, basically. So, like, when stuff were happening in the hood with, like, one of the littest scammers or one of the littest people on Facebook

and there's like some crazy shit, we'd make, like, a parody to it. No matter how bad it is, how crazy it is, we're going to make, like, it's a funny version to every story. Right. No matter how vulgar it is. Feel me?

And that's just how mine was as kids, like, for me? So that's how it started on Facebook. We used to making content on Facebook, just on some hood shit first, having math fun going crazy. And then that's when it started sticking like, oh, yeah, we had to keep doing it. Who were you influenced by? Who were you looking at? I ain't a lot.

I was like, I ain't a lot. I've always been like this since young. Like, I was watching Kevin Hart movies. I was watching mad movies. I wasn't supposed to be watching as young. Like stuff like that, like Friday or type of shit. Like I can show you my phone right now. There's movies in my phone.

I bought like 20 years ago. Really? And it's like at least 100. So I seen a hundred movies I wasn't supposed to even see at the age of 11 type shit. Really? Real shit. How are you getting? Where are you buying them on?

Apple store. Oh, you just buy them on there. Yes. And I had an iPad. I was getting right. My mom's car was always coming in clutch. I'm like, oh yeah, I want to watch this today. I'm going to watch this today.

I'm feeling. But it's really like I was just influenced by movies and stuff like that. Like when I got toys, I would like recreate like stuff with my imagination. Like if I'm playing with my toys, like I'm imagining all this movie stuff happening while I'm playing with the toys. for me. So then you see people start making content and you're like, holy shit, that's what I want to do. Definitely. So Capri, Shiggy

and there's some other guy named Nixon. I forgot his name, but he's from years ago. Like, he's from down south too. But I seen none when I was mad mad, mad young. Low key mom too. I ain't on front. And it was over. I'm like, yeah, I'm doing my own thing with my friends type of shit. I'm doing my own thing first. Then me

and my son Trippie started going crazy. Then in high school, me and my son Rich started going crazy. Then it just became like a us thing. So everybody knew Oh yeah, they around being their content type shit. And it's just like a vibe. Right. It's crazy because like the way you're describing that, 2010, that's like 14 years.

Right. Of working your ass off to finally get. That's crazy. Yeah. Because I really, really started in 2012. 2010 was when I was trying to figure it out. Like, just posting little stuff like like a kid. You feel me?

Like you're just a kid just posting stuff on your social media. You're not supposed to have like MySpace or your mom bought you a camera for Christmas. You're doing funny, stupid stuff in it. Then I started really posting my shit like in 2020. I was 2013. And then ever since I've been doing it. So when I look at your YouTube channel and I can only see content going back like five years,

is that because you cleansed it of all the old shit? Or is that just like that was on different channels or different platforms? Definitely cleanse some of it. Some of it is lost forever on Facebook. A lot of it is on different platforms now. Got it. So, yeah, the stuff that go way back, you can find on YouTube, you saw some.

And Facebook is gone. Really? Me, Trimian Rich, had the craziest Facebooks. but they got punched. Really? That ass punched. What were you doing? No, we was just,

like that was before there was meta, monetization, all of that. So it wasn't really like no security guidelines for it. So when it started happening and people started reporting certain videos for stirring stuff

or trying to hack our pages, it was that easy to get us out of there. Yeah. Damn, that's a shame. That's that crazy. There's like good money to be made on Facebook, but it's like impossible to look through it. I ain't gonna lie.

Now it's fake. If you post reals every day, you Gucci. Like on ads. If you monetize and you post rills, you Gucci. But then it's still slow. Like, that's why you got to post every day. Yeah.

Because every other day is going to take bread away and then track to the new month. Right. Yeah, it's crazy. So what was the first shit you ever had to go viral? Like, the first thing that felt viral for you at a young age. Okay. So as a kid, I did, that's when designer came out. He did Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Tunner.

He'll know what I mean? And then I did a video like that. And it ended up in mad compilations everywhere. So to me, that was like the most, craziest part for real, for real. A lot of people would say the barbershop video, though. Which one is that is? So the barbershop video.

I think I've seen that. That's the moment I was sitting in the chair. You're yelling about your hair cut. Yeah, and the Bob over here talking like, yeah, the guy, they come last night. I'm getting crazy gout drinks, all type of ting of you're one there. So I'm looking at these things. I'm like, yo, bro, cut my hair, bro, what's going on? Y'all over here talking to him.

He's talking to me, talking to him. I'm messing up and all that. That's how organic I was trying to keep the video. Right. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I'm like, yo, bro, record this real quick. Because I'm like, yo, they not cut my hair. So I'm just like, let me just freestyle. Go crazy.

And I'm just talking them, talking to them. And I'm like, blood clodied, goddamn drinks, ha, type of ting. Cut my hair type shit. And that's the shit that really like, that was 2019 viral. Like, that's the shit that really, like, put me on the mat for a lot of people. Right. I ain't going to lie. Yo, it's crazy, honestly, that when you take your hat off, like, when you put the hat on,

your head looks totally normal. And then you take it off. And it's like, oh, that's an avant-garde ass head. Yeah. It's because I got no hair cut right now, but yeah, y'all got to see it like live in the flesh. It's not big. It's little and long. It's just got a whole different thing going on.

Exactly. It got a little loops. You feel what, my shit, wavy? Hey, what do people get fucked up about, you know, Caribbean people and people who come over here from Africa? Like, I see a lot of, like, wars online between the foundational black Americans and more recent immigrants. Like, like, how do you view that? Because in Brooklyn, obviously, that's just like everywhere. I ain't going to lie, bro.

In Brooklyn, it's a lot of Yankees. I'm a Yankee. What's a Yankee? What was a Yankee? A Yankee is like a person that's Caribbean, but they didn't grow up there or was born there. Okay. So you could be grown up there, but if he wasn't born there, you're black. Like, I'm black.

But I jacked, I'm Guyanese and Ginnian because, like, that's my tradition. That's my culture. Like, that's how I was raised. That's how I act. Because you moved here when you were so young that you don't really have memories of there? No, I never lived. Oh, you never lived there. Right.

I've been there like twice. But if you grow up in a household that's Guyanese or whatever. So you're just going to get all the influences, right? Yes, definitely. So that's what it was for me. I wasn't born there, but I've been to my family home. I know my grandmother. I know my uncles, my late uncles.

I know my late cousins. I know the people that live next door for 10 years in Guyana. But I wasn't born there. Did you grow up having a deal with some level of racism from like black people that felt like they were like, that you were basically not as good as them because they're like from America more so? I feel that, but they can't jack that if they don't act more. Caribbean than me. It's over.

So at the end of the day, it's all politics. That's the type of person I am like, opinion, shut the fuck up. Right. Yeah, just shut up. Because I will make somebody look less Caribbean than me in a minute, baby. Right. From my crib type of shit. I'm going to be speaking up a storm or type of shit.

Right. I feel like it's probably pretty cool to be Caribbean in Brooklyn. It's different. I ain't going to fraud because it's like, it's different types of Caribbean. You got the trainees. We got the Guyanese. You got the Bayans. You got Jamaicans.

You got Jamaicans or Rip. Right. And then it's like the Jamaicans, trinies. Guyanese, they, they deep in Brooklyn, like, heavy. Like, so it's like, it's like a different like neighborhood. That's crazy that you have to like, to survive in Brooklyn, you have to be able to figure out not only like the street shit, but then also like the ethnicities and the groupings of that shit on top of the.

You got to be street smart and book smart. Yeah. That's serious. Like, and you probably got to be. I can't see. I'm not an influencer. I'm just Holly. Right.

I'm just Holly. So don't take nothing I say as influence. I think you're in the influence. realm now. Yes, because like, there's a lot of stuff I do that can be copied or can be learned from, but not everything I say is an influence. Sometimes you got to be more street smart than books more in New York or wherever you're from because you don't want to, you want to really have the mind to yourself to really make a possibility or make a solution. You know what I mean? Instead of just thinking you got to go by the book every time. Right. For real, for you got to really

get like complex. Because no matter how much you just want to focus on your schoolwork or whatever, you still got to make it to school in the back every day. So you've got to figure out how to move. They're just sleeping, like anything. You don't know whether it. It could be anything, any possibility. But yeah, you got to be able to maneuver. I think that's what life is about. Like, you got to, you're not ready for it.

You got, you're just going to be fucked. Right. So, okay, well, when you drop out of college, what did you start doing with yourself? Will you have jobs, like, throughout your childhood and everything? Yes, definitely. So, boom, when I dropped out, I was like 18. I went to school for probably like two months.

I went to mega Evers college in Brooklyn. Boom, dropped out. I got a job, Trader Joe's my first job. That was a good job. I feel me? Got to love Trader Joe. Yeah, I stayed, I got out, I left Trader Joe's. My last day, no, Trader Joe's was a good job.

I swear to God. Good plus shop too. They got a lot of great treats there, man. Let's slow down. Trader Joe's 8-1. We love you. Okay, we love you. They're great, yeah.

And it's cheap. Yes. Which is weird. Nica, brioche bread. Oh, shit. Because, all right, you go to like, Arawone or like any of the high-end grocery stores right now, super. If you go to Trader Joe's, they got all the cool products and shit, but the cheap as fuck.

Definitely. So I worked there getting paid great They was holding me down They were still supporting like my social media Like dreams and stuff like Okay So they was people in there was very artistic tools Like in New York we have Soho

So that's like a good area for like autistic people Out of people that's famous Like know that area for a lot of fashion kids Just go walk around there all that Definitely and a lot of them They got lit off that Feel me So that is what it is

You put on an outfit You go walk around in Soho Literally You walk around New York Anything can happen Wait until you see a TikToker who asked you to do how much of your fit cost. Literally. Get dressed.

Find something you want to do for the day in New York. Walking out for eight hours, you might change your life. Literally. For me? So basically, yeah, I did that. And then, wait, what was the question? Just what you did after the college thing didn't work out. I did trade a Joe's.

I was there for a little bit. They were still supporting me. So I was still traveling, going to Cali, Miami. I was still going to work. After that, I quit. I was still trying to get heavier, trying to go more viral. then I'm like, damn, gotta go get a job again, boom.

So I went back to work. I was working at, um, what's it called? It's like Burlington Co factory. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so I was working there in the city. That shit was valid to. Was barely going to work,

still getting blessed, still getting paid my check, working mad hard. Like, no matter what, I just was always trying to work hard because I know, like, I know what to do type of shit. Boom.

Still was making videos. Then I quit that job. Then the barbershop video went viral. It was over 2019. So that was the summer when like, Matt, New York was lit again. Hey, hey, a big drab. Pinocchio, everything was left,

I feel me? Mama Clod, Goddamn, Ross, all that shit was lit. Then after that I just kept going, then 2020 came. Everything stops. Yeah, everything goes crazy. Yeah.

It's over after that. It's just, it's just mayhem. Especially, okay, especially as a Brooklyn cat. Because it's like Popsmo gets killed and then the whole world shuts down. Right, mind you, my birthday, January 27th, 2020. the day before.

I don't know if it was the day before the day of. Kobe gets killed while I'm out here. Yeah. Not killed. He died. He passed away. And because in that rolling loud blog they were talking about, you're banging rest in peace,

Juice World. And at first I was thinking, like, why is he saying that? And then I'm seeing you are rolling loud. And I'm realizing, oh, this is right after Juice World died, like immediately after.

Yo, the shit is so scary, bro. Every time I come here, there's some crazy shit going on. So I didn't come here, mad long. Then the shit happened with pop. I came back. You feel me?

I'm like, damn, shit weird, bro. It feels weird. It feels ominous. Matt ominous. I came back today. I felt amazing. Yeah. I'm like, it feels great energy.

I haven't been in so long. I'm in love. Callie, yes. You feel me? Four years ago when you were here, you were still trying to figure out what the fuck you're going to do. And now you got real motion.

Things are really happening. That was like when I, that was the year I turned 21 too. So it was like a lot going on. Yeah. I didn't know life yet. Yeah. For me?

I thought I did, but I didn't. Because that, all right, That's what I was thinking when I was watching that, the Ronald Live vlog from 2020 is I'm like, damn, this is crazy. Like, you got so much energy.

You're trying to make something like your life. And you can see that you're just trying to figure out what it's going to be. But you're not 100% sure, but you could just see the energy. You and your friends, you're going in the in and out, you're yelling, you're screaming.

You're causing a scene, but you're having a blast. And it's like, it's easy for me to see how that energy eventually was going to be something that people would flock to. Yeah, definitely. To me, the whole thing was that I always wanted to be an actor,

but it's like in New York you got to be book small and street small you gotta know that you want to be an actor but you gotta find a way to chase your dream some other way you feel me and my number one thing is to be happy and have fun for me have peace and I do that great I just like when people see me be happy

have fun they feel like they mean or they feel like they happy they're having fun for me and I like that like I'd rather push off that energy than any other type of energy yeah because even when I'm bringing you up to people like Roddy Rebel and shit it's like I can see it that everybody views you as just like a symbol of peace and having fun and shit like that's a rare

space to be able to be in a place as cutthroat as bro exactly it really is it really really is bro but at the end of the day it's like I stick by be yourself you feel me I just stick by be yourself try to do anything different that's when your mind get f*** up you don't know who you are no more you feel me that's what I feel like I went through during COVID for me I feel like at a certain point I was just trying to be me and then trying to be somebody else it's like you got to be Diallo and Holly at the same time and make it make sense. Why? What do you feel like you started to do during COVID that

wasn't the real you? I feel like I don't know it was just too much going on. Like I was doing mad shit. Life was just life and every day. It's COVID going on. We got too much freedom to do whatever we want. That's bad sometimes. Like yeah, especially when you're 21. Definitely. So that's

how it was for me and I really wasn't focused on like, feel me? Diallo is like my professional self. Holly is like my more lenient self. Okay. So I had to smash it together, you know, for me type shit. It's like symbolic. I had to make it make sense. Like meditating.

That was my way of meditating and making my mind make sense of everything. Definitely. So I just put it together. So you were doing the music thing all along or when did that kick you? I was, I've been making music. I've been trying to make like actual songs and stuff since I was 1112. For me? You could go on my SoundCloud right now and hear me when I was little.

You feel me? But I never had really dropped nothing. I was doing features with my men. We was rock stars. We're still rock stars. you know what I'm 1017 we all got this tatted right here oh nice you feel me so we they was making music and I was getting all the features

for me me me and my son Rich got good features all that and then I dropped the song called tragic yeah so I was during COVID too that shit did good for me I dropped it for like the drill trend you feel me in New York it's like I let me get creative now let me stop being scared or stop feeling like I'm forcing it let me just be me everybody gonna do what they want to do do what you want to do you stopping and studying your own shit

for me so I dropped it boom I felt good about it And I'm like, nah, I got to do more. But I've seen that many times where it's like you have motion off of doing skits and comedy type ship and then you also want to rap. And it's like sometimes people feel like they can't rap because being a rapper is so serious. So you can't necessarily be coming from a funny background. Although there's a lot of people that kind of broke through that. That's what it is though.

Like rappers, that's how rappers make themselves look now for me. If anything, they're going to say I just make music or just say I'm Holly, bro. Feel me? Like I don't want to put on no image for nobody, none of that that I don't have to. I've been the same person my whole life, you feel feel me? I'm not going to switch up now, you feel me? Like, I'd rather, even if I make some tough, scary drill music, it might

not be my story. I'm making music, rhyming, rapping, and probably telling somebody else story, you feel me? Like, it's all autistic. Everything is creative for me. I ain't running from it no more, like, type shit. I think everybody ultimately what they want from you is basically, like, the positive energy. Because that's like what I see

coming from all your videos. That's what it seems like is making everybody gravitate towards you, which is really kind of a rare thing, because you look at all the rappers who popped off and out of New York over the past couple years, it's like quite often it's dudes who are pushing some scary gangster-ass shit. And then it's like everybody being tough doing all this weird shit, just to fall off. That shit blows mine, bro. I hate that, bro, when we could have all stayed together from the beginning.

You feel me? Not saying I'm, I don't be knowing half the people like that just got lit during COVID and shit like that because I'm from Brooklyn. For me? Like, Brooklyn is now waking up again this summer. You feel me this year? It felt like that? Like the summer was more lit?

I felt like everybody was sleeping on us until 2024 started. And then Brooklyn started blooming again. Oh, not even Brooklyn, New York. Right. New York started blooming again during the winter, bro. For real, for real. Everybody was sleeping on us, bro. They was talking about, oh, everybody falling off from New York.

Shit, that shit, trash, ain't shit going on. Yeah, right, but stop dick rotting. Stop dick rotting. Then, feel me? Feel me? The wave just got, everything just got lit. You feel me? Winter was lit, donned out.

Summer was automatic for me to start drinking Don. But I'm like, I don't want to do whatever else doing. Let me get a liquor down. Have you been? a serious alcohol consumer for a long time? No. No. Okay.

No. For me? That's what I'm saying. Like, all of this started as a joke. You feel me? All of it started as a joke. Like, yeah, y'all going to buy big bottles. I'm going to buy a liquor bottle.

I'm not moving like I got the most bread. I'm moving like I need to get my shot and then go back home. You feel me? That's what the original video was about. I need to drink my shot. I'll get over. I'll go back home. Back outside again type of shit.

You know what? Actually, the first video I saw of you was not even anything related to the little Don. It was, I love you, Adam. It was just you speaking into the camera where you were doing like the Glorilla song or whatever. And you were saying like, I ain't got no.

And you got me. And you're just making a crazy face to the camera. And I was like, who the fuck is this guy? Mind you. 1942 is Don Julio too. Right. Yeah. Oh, it is.

It's the same owner. It's crazy. Okay, yeah. Because I noticed that. I'm like, he's got multiple little bottles. Yes. So the original little bottle was like, it wasn't planned to nothing. I just wanted to.

to do it so badly. I'm like, I'm gonna sing this song with this bottle, put a strong in it. It took me like two or three weeks to do the video. I did it. And then people just liked it. Then my man's was with the ideas too. So we all just started putting our brains together and thinking of more ideas, you know what I'm gonna. My son Rich, my son Bezito, Trippy, Buga, all I'm for me. They all came out by idea. My son Don Don Donnie Dang. My son DeVasco. Everybody came up with a different idea for a video and they kept shaking it. And we still got more now. Really? We just been promoting the songs and like basically showing everybody what we try

to bring to the clubs or bring to the performances with those other shit. I like it because everybody's out here flexing their $300 bottle of liquor. You're like, it's only $7. And I still got that done. I still got Don left. That's hard. So I was just, you know me. I'm a funny, nigga.

I was just being funny at first, for me? And my son really told me like, nah, you got to get on your shit. Let me like, get active. So I'm like, yeah, let me get active. So you make the song. How does it start cracking off? So at first, I didn't even know how to make this song. Okay.

Because I'm a writer. You feel me? I write first. They told me going there freestyle. My niggas that's right there. Yeah. Yeah, it was over after that. Oh, okay.

That's what you did. Oh, that's over after that. Yeah, because I was in there thinking I got to write. I'm like, nah. They was telling me, no. I'm like, nah, I got to do it this way. They're like, no, bro. That's f***ed up because it's got to be a parody.

Like, it got to make sense. You feel me? And I don't even know how to fuck. I created the lyrics. I don't know. I drank two lichlodons so two pools of splits and I was activated.

I don't know, I don't know but the song makes sense. It makes sense and I felt like I was having fun. It wasn't planned. I didn't know what to do. That's why it worked. Flexing rich shit

can only last so long before people are like, we don't do that. So how about an anthem that celebrates the shit that's actually street level? And that's what I stand on. I'd be myself.

That's what I stand on for me I ain't never gonna move like I have it out of And I don't know what have it all look like Right So back to that rolling loud vlog that I watched I noticed that you guys were not really talking about drinking during it But you guys were trying to find the smoke the whole time I noticed you're at the dispensary before you're at the hotel

I'm like okay They might have got famous off a song about Don But really the graba and the splits As well is keeping you alive So my son Rich made a song about Subey man long ago For me So it's like with this With that way we're doing the same thing

we was trying to do it in like we're trying to get the attention from the people who could help us for the people who can help us grow help us make ideas bigger and better you feel me that's really all it is like it's just it's that simple for real for real but how yeah it's like the lickledon just came out of nowhere like that little nip bottle came out of nowhere so it was just so easy to grab it yeah it was so easy to do it because it was like everybody else got the big nightie 402s they got the big reposado let me just get the little one right and then the video that went viral with us with us in the park singing the Julio shit was by accident too.

Really? Yeah, it's like, it wasn't playing. All the stuff that never gets recorded be the funniest shit. Oh, yeah. And Nat got recorded. Rich Chino recorded that shit and he fucking caught it. Viro. That's crazy. It's crazy.

Look what we at. And we on the jump in now, yeah. Cross country. Yes. We're on the other side of New York. Yeah. And what's crazy, though, is that now a lot of the people from LA when I start ringing that song up, they all know the ferns too.

They're going to know. They're going to be dining all night. Yeah. We soon be on tour out here. Wait, okay. So who is the first famous person that tapped in with the song? I ain't gonna lie, bro. It's hard.

It's really hard. Because so many people I've tapped in, and I've been learning to not let shit fly by. So, like, I'm just, every day is like, every day is crazy. I can't really think of the first people, but there's been a lot of people that tapped in,

bro. Rich the kid. Rest of peace, rich homie Kwan. He tapped in, fill me, 50 cents. Soldier boy. Really?

Yes, bro. I've seen Suki. Like, a lot of people haven't tapped in, but I've seen them dancing to it, playing it on their story. So it's crazy. What 50 sense say? 50 didn't,

50 was vibed with me in the spot. We had a, I went to some spot called Harbor, Harbor in New York, you feel me? He had a birthday party in there, feel me, and I was there. And I was there. They played this song,

and I just was viving with him, I put me. I posted a little real on my story. We didn't have no real, like, interaction, feel me? I hope we can soon. But just seeing, like, one of the absolute

Ghosts of New York City of hip hop. Of New York. Showing love. That's crazy. Right. And mind you, he's jacking my song and I want to be an actor. I'm trying to be in power. He's jacking Julio.

You feel me? So why not just be myself? Why not just be myself? You'll feel me? Like, why not? You feel me? See, it's crazy. I was almost surprised when I figured out that you were smoking a bunch of weed too

because I feel like you have such a crazy energy level that sometimes when people start smoking weed, it kind of dulls that a little bit. Just don't become a lean head. No, no, no. That's what we don't need. Look, I ain't gonna lie. I feel like it's people up there watching me

because they don't let me get addicted to. None of this shit that everybody else is addicted to or try. I don't do mad shit. Really? You feel me? I probably mess with the walk before, probably one time in COVID. Okay.

Never. It's not a habit, you feel me? Right. We probably the only thing that I would ever mess with because it keeps me calm. It helps me think. You feel me? It keeps me focused.

You feel me? Other than that, I don't need it. I don't really need it. I just smoke because it's like a hobby. Yeah. You feel me? Other than that, bro, I could probably go a week without smoking right now. I promise you.

No, Don, no nothing to have the most energy in the world, get the most done. I only had probably like, I probably didn't even really smoke today. Really? You could tell. Yeah. I'm bouncy right now. Before an interview, I think it's a good idea to not smoke. That's why it's weird when I see somebody and they're doing like their first interview

when I see them rolling on a map once. And I'm like, I don't know why you're trying to make this harder on yourself. No, you know what it is, though? They be trying to keep their self calm. Yeah. That's what it is. I also think it's like, they just won't tell you. It's a flex to be like, look, it's the same way it's like, look, I filmed my video out on my block and nobody shot at me.

Look, I did the interview and I smoked four blunts. Yeah, that's sick. I'm coherent. It's like, no blunts, no dine, no water. I'm not. I got them. I'm not. Those are some long ass arms.

No way. But see, okay, that was the one thing. I almost started to get kind of worried when I watched the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, video because the whole intro is basically like you demonstrating who we got here? Huh? I'm in the spot. I just got here. I'm going on.

The Don Don Don is there. A valid? What's going on? And the... Oh, he's right there. The Don, no, that's, you know. I was thinking that the ceiling looks kind of familiar. Yes, sir.

How are you living, Jay? What are we all show? That's Trinio. That's Trivian. My son leaving him. You next. Heart. If we can't break Dawn, peace up.

You went crazy buzz, man. You went crazy. It's the holy against. The Don't know how much. Yo, we really appreciate this, man. I appreciate you guys pulling up, man. That's my son black right here. That's not some Buka.

Donnie Dang. That's an incredible name. Casamado game two, free Cosamado. That's great. Yeah, I would hate to name a hop, so that's great. Not here, Casamado is valid. Oh, good, good, good. It's my son black, though.

You know what I mean? Oh, I'm Rich Chino. You heard. Indeed. Yeah, yeah, he's just telling me a story about you. No, don't look him in his eyes like that. He's going to be pressing them. No, I love the way you guys just acted like you just got here.

Yeah. That was great. You have to let him see behind the third wall. I mean, good at that shit. You know. You're a movie. I'm like you're saying. You're saying.

Oh. Need that. Oh. I need more now. I need more. You see, you see though, Adam? Some niggas got a smoking chill before they get on the camera.

Yeah. I'm telling you, you are. Yeah. Some niggas got to, it's just like that. Look, now they activated, ready to go. Very activated, yes. Tadda-da. Are you, I'm feeling good.

As you know right here, you already know the Dawn, man. Tell him your name, Holly. You already know, Don Luther King. Nice to meet you.

Ooh, all right. I had a dream. They call me Don F. Kennedy. Oh, wow. That's crazy. I'm trying to see if showty he could blow my mind in the back seat. Oh, shit. I'm going to shut it all down.

I'm Don L. Hubbard. I started a whole religion. I started a whole thing. Yonkish. You are? Hold on a whole. What's that, Morin? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You talking to the other, you talk about that. You talk about the niggins. Oh. Touchdown. We love it. What's up? But throw this back in the case. Whoa.

A double split. Hold on. Did they? Roll me a double split. Somebody ties me a marker, man. I got a sign it. I got a sign it. Yo, I got the $1,600 an ounce weed now, too.

What? Let's roll that shit up. I got that elephant brain, bro. I'm still showing the YouTube video. We can finish all that. It's on my desk. You want to grab it? Yeah, get it right now.

Okay, thank you. Whatever you want, Adam. What's it called? Elephant mind, the elephant brain? Elephant grow. Elephant grow. Somebody just gifted it to me, but I know it's worth that much because my homie had it.

And as soon as we pulled up to New York last time, and Chef G pulled up, $1,600 bucks. He wanted the ounce. That's serious? It's really that good. I feel like you trying to get me. Nah.

I would never lie on what another man paid for a weed. All right. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something. Because I only... You only ever did shrooms? I just whispered it. So I know you be on some wild shit.

How that shit be making you fail? You just start. Weed? Yeah, no. Other stuff. I know you're speaking out. No, not really. Okay, good.

You never took a perk? Nah. That's good. Stay away from it. Look, look. Look. Look. Look.

Look. Look. Look. What's that? This is the $1,600 an ounce weed. Oh, no, that's the good guys. Oh. I don't know what's so special about it.

I'm not exactly. It's not like cake, though. I ain't gonna lie. Look, I signed it. Don Holly TV. Yeah, that's good guys. I ain't gonna lie. We definitely gonna get a good blunt action going on, man.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, you got the groba here? Nah, I only do that when I'm with my New Yorkers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got good grabs. We got good grabs. That's a factoid. Okay.

Shit, so where the f*** were we? I don't even remember what we were saying before the... Oh, no, they bum rushed us. That was fine. That's some New York shit, you heard? That was New York. That might just walk in and do what the fuck is... Yeah.

No, that was good. That was very good vibes right there. Oh, anyway, what I want to say? I started to get worried because I watched the Don video. And for those who haven't seen it, which they should definitely go check it out on YouTube, you're basically like waking up fiending for the dawn. Like, to such a day. an extent that you're rummaging around the house.

You look like a real crack game. Yeah. Yeah. And that was kind of concerning. I'm like, is that really what your relationship with Don Julio is like? You wake up and you don't have it. You've got a itching scratch. I need what I need it. Look, I'm telling you right now, everything I did for the music video

revolves around the skits and the comments that got behind the skits. Okay. So everything was like a creative mindset, bro. It's like, I didn't even know what I was going to do for the music video. We were supposed to go to a pool, party. I got trunks on in the music video. We didn't have no pool. That's what happened to the pool. Thugging it out. We had to switch cribs based off the party. You feel me? So look, based off the um, the skit in the beginning of music video, it's like,

that's how everybody felt like it was. Or that's how everybody was moving with the Don before I started doing the Liquid Don. Everybody was acting like Don Julio was, you know, I felt like this was like, oh, my control. When I seen girls do it, I'm like, oh, now the Don Julio got them under my control is over. Twirling it around your head. Yeah, that's a new way. Okay. Like a medial or hail or some shit, you for me. So I'm like, I got to utilize you, feel me. You got to utilize it to your best ability. So I just started having fun drinking Don too.

I'm like, let's see what this shit made me do. Right. You feel of me? And I just started getting creative with it. You're pretty good with alcohol, though, or do you get too drunk? I ain't going to lie. I do get too drunk, but that's if I want to get too drunk. Like, I be getting fun drunk.

I never get like crazy, angry one of kills somebody drunk or put people in danger drunk. You feel? Like, I'm always happy. You don't drive? I drive sometimes. But not off the Don. No. Not off the dime.

Definitely. Because I'm the guy right now. I can't put nobody in trouble. So the other day I was in Atlanta, we go to Magic City. I get the section. What do we order? A couple of bottles of Don. I got too drunk.

I'm not going to lie. You're not a lot. Wait, what did you have? Repizado, aneur. Don. But look. Oh, there's different kinds. I don't even know.

42. I'm not 100% sure. Not 42. The Repizato will fuck you up. It was like a big version of that bottle, I think. The Annejo, a whoopio. I'm telling you the anetho

will warp your ass Really? It's worse than this Wow, okay Two shots of anahe You're gonna be like Lips mad draw You feel me?

Smack Really? 1944 too But 1942 made me feel Sexyer You feel me? So it's like I'm not really

I'm not the darn advocate You feel me I just knew what to do And make a dawn wave And with my guys help For sure Capitalize Like I wouldn't be able to capitalize

If it wasn't for whoever just popped up. You know what else? I think it's an appropriate theme for you as in New Yorker because New York is a place where you can still get a Lucy. Yeah, literally. L.A. I don't know where the fucking get a lucy at because I go to the bodega. I never, I never even heard anybody in L.A. talking about being able to buy a Lucy at the store. I feel like y'all got it better than us then. They're killing us for a dollar. Yeah, I know, right? They're killing niggas for dollars out there. 50 cent, bro. But like this is the equivalent of a Lucy. Nah, I ain't going to lie. You know? That's why I had to do it. I'm like,

Like, niggas sleep on the nips. Nobody ain't back out of nip and never. You feel me? So when I started seeing these ads, I'm like, no, I got to give me a lick or don't die. Right. I got to give you. I just didn't know it was going to go this far.

When you're really in the streets around some people who really like need to get drunk, they'd be buying the little ass shot things. I haven't seen a lot of them unless I didn't see nobody buying these until I did. Really? I swear. Because I don't think nobody knew they were around. I didn't think nobody knew it was little Don bottles, even Blanco. Like, nobody knew that for real.

I kind of knew, but never really thought about it. like considered that it could be a ways. Yeah. I'm not going to say nobody knew, but it wasn't a way. Yeah. Facts. So that's how I really wanted to put my little, like, my little signature on it with the Lickle Donji, you know what I mean. And then it just went farther than I ever thought possible because of what I've been working up to.

I've been working up to finding a way to go crazy again. And we all went crazy this summer just having fun. Like, right. Right. This shit is so nuts, bro. Like, real shit. This shit is nuts right now. Like, it makes no sense.

How did you end up tapping in? with de-stirty in the Philly cats coming through showing love. So you know, it's crazy we went, I went to a listening party. Okay. And he was just there, you feel me? I was supposed to been work with his team and stuff, but as a content creator, probably being one of his music videos or something, like through management. But when we tapped in through there with straight vibes, like, you feel me?

That's the type of music I feel like I should keep making. Like, I'm gonna definitely keep writing, but like, if me and the person catch like a vibe, would we just say it some dumb funny shit? We do a video behind it and the fans like it. That's the shit. I'm going to get that vibe song from the ASAP. So you and him just met there and hit it off and then you ended up going to the studio together?

Literally. We hit it off. We made the video, Don on Night. Yeah, because the violent crimes instrumental was already going viral because of Talil. And it was going viral because of Talil

Kossinat doing the shit on stream all the time and the shit like this when they got the dance move that I'd be doing with the down on night shit. Right. So off rip, it was going crazy. So it was like, if I just throw my own shit on there,

go crazy. We didn't even plan it like that. We just in there talking about something Dinning Jigin He just kept saying it And then I'm like Donin

Jig I know you're I know you're doing To a die don't die We was just wildly Like then we said Let's go make this video Real quick Right

On TikTok We went on TikTok They was jacking it About a week later We in the studio A week later we in the studio Julio the next day We went to the studio

But they make sense for me For you to collaborate with Because I feel like They're really trying to bring the fun Into the shit too And I feel like that type of beat is them. You feel me? Like that,

they made that lit. And I never got to really collab with a lot of people that got lit during COVID. You feel me? So it's like, that's kind of me giving my like flowers in a way. You feel me? That's good collab for us. We're going up.

Definitely. We got good relationship. Gang fuck with him. Get his gang fuck with us. You for me. It's like, it's cool vibes. You for me.

That's all I like, but I like peace. Like everybody had fun. We lit. You're going up after that. I feel like there's been so many years of crazy gangster drill shit that there's just like a lot of people who are trying to figure out how they can make

a wave off of some more positive shit with the cash co-bane shit the sexy drill shit, the club drill shit. It's all like people are just trying to like kind of take a few steps away from that musically and see what they can make happen. And that's, I feel like that's what I always been good at or I feel like that's what I really always like

try to do. It's like, you know, just try to like stay fresh, you know, do new stuff or do everything, you know? Always try to do everything. I always try to do music and make YouTube. Even if my YouTube wasn't lit. You feel feel me? You still try to make content, skits. I still do background acting sometimes.

You feel me? I still am doing table readings and scripts with people. So you actually take the acting side of things serious? I take everything serious. Like, for real, for real. Like, people will tell you, like, it's a lot of stuff that I don't be wanting to do. But when people believe in me, more than I believe in myself, it goes crazy. You feel me?

And it's just because I'm just, at a certain point, I'm trying to do shit, right? But it's like, it's no right or wrong way. You feel me? You just got to feel good about it. You remind me of like so many dudes I knew in New York over the years who were just straight up like just balls of energy. Wake up, walk out the house, get the bacon egg and cheese. And then they're just going for like 14 hours straight. Especially if you get your bacon egg and cheese off the EBT and you got $20 left for the day.

Yeah. You're going to have the best day of your mother life. It's going to be a movie and no one can stop you. I swear to God. Yeah. That's how it is in New York. Like, if you could breathe and just smoke a little win, get some food, be around some jobs, sit around the bros, you could do anything.

Because once you start going, having that day walking outside of Brooklyn, it's like anything can happen because the city is like a natural, it's like you just took Adderall, but it's just you're motivated by the fucking feeling of everybody else trying to go get it. That's why everybody be having to smoke because we too upy and jumpy, like we're ready to go. Like, everybody's ready to go. even in a negative way or the positive way. Like, it's a lot of angry people in New York, but there's a lot of, like, people that like the party

and get late and shit like that, for me? So it's like, it's like a mixture of both. Nika, you could mix both with those people together and actually have a good time. It's crazy to me because I left New York in 2010. And since then, whenever I go back, where you lived? Bushwick.

Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah, Maria Hernandez Park and shit. Yeah, it sounded like 10 minutes from there. That's crazy. Yeah, but then I, like, since I've left, it feels like, yo, I used to. to live in like real fear of the cops out there. And now I feel so much more chill.

Like people ain't scared of shit. People outside smoking all the time, drinking open containers and shit. We used to be terrified to be outside of the open container. I ain't going to lie, bro, because it's like, it's cops everywhere now. Like, they always try to stop you from doing stuff. So it's like New York really got a mentality right now where it's like everybody is for their self. Like it's like, nigga, we're not scared.

We're going to do it regardless. You're going to lock me out. I'm going to come home and do the same thing I was doing yesterday. You feel me? My man said some crazy shit. the other day. We only got one gender in New York, niggas. That ass. We got one gender. Everybody's on time and everybody wants to survive. That's just how it is right now, bro. Right. For real. Damn. Because it's too much cops, you

feel me? Like, it's like at a certain point, it's like, we're not scared of them no more. They're everywhere. You know what I mean? They can't stop us from smoking. Yeah. They can't stop us from drinking and having fun. You feel me? Not everybody's trying to hurt or kill people. So it's like, nigger, mind your business. That's the way we mind. Do you feel like it feels like New York and maybe Brooklyn in general has gotten like more positive and shit? And it's like a little bit less negative than it was? I feel like I feel like I feel like I feel like yeah. I feel like all that shit really starting from COVID.

Like nobody was used to COVID in New York. Like in New York we all used to being around each other all the time. So when you take mad people and you separate them, everybody going to feel away. Like everybody going to feel alone, nigga. Everybody going to feel like they alone or left out or missing something. So that's really what it was for real. Like, I feel like now that we back outside again, it's everything is lit. Everything is just the way it was before COVID.

Like, we just, it's like we had the snap from the Avengers type of shit. That's really what it felt like. That's crazy. Yeah. So, okay, have you been just staying in the studio working on more music or what's your perspective on that? Well, I'm trying to keep it Bobby like for me. Before, the week before I went to make Julio, I went to the studio to make another song like that I was planning to drop on some. whole other shit. Like I had a whole different rollout for me this year.

And what made you realize that was the one? Because they was jacking the video. They was jacking the video and I'm like, why not? I never dropped no parody music for me. And my man's, my man's was really telling me to do that for real. They seen the video. I dropped the video by accident. Once it started punching, they was like, go to the studio.

You feel me? So that Thursday, I went to go cook something up. By Sunday, we did the event where I did the liquid Don Julio, Julio, well, I did that. All right. So I'm going to tell you the whole story right now. Okay. Boom. I took a long break. I'm back. Get a million views on reels.

Finally. Boom. We have a big sife. It was some smoking video. You probably seen it. Yeah, yeah. Niggas is like, niggis over here rolled it up this, that. It got a million views. So we wanted to have a big siph in New York for all the supporters that was jacking in the video, sharing there and stuff. A couple people came out and then we just vibed out. I just had dawn there. It's a dawn summer. You feel me?

then I ended up making the Julio Dan Dan I made it by accident Rich recorded it Boom it goes up Probably three days later It starts blicking Starts going crazy

Everybody's calling me Calling me calling me calling me Like yo This video is punching Bro keep going Keep posting That da da da da Then my man's um

Bazito and um Bazito Rich in them Yeah they basically telling me like Yeah we got to go to the studio Gotta make this song I'm like you sure Because I'm like If I make this song

I'm gonna make it all some slizzy shit because it was like that was a sleet that was going on but then we went there and it was just like a whole different vibe like once I heard it in the studio and really heard my voice doing what I was doing in the video I'm like yeah

it's like especially either they told me to freestyle it was over. I was still shaky after we left the studio. Have you thought about doing an official remix for it with people rapping on it and shit or definitely because I feel like I wrapped on it I feel like I could probably get like another verse or two on there but I ain't forcing it I'm happy with my

work. You feel me? We got Don on night. We got another one coming for y'all too. Is it still along the same lines of the Dawn movement? Yes. Are you stepping outside of it a little bit? I'm definitely on the Dawn movement

and stepping outside of it. Like, it's going to be Don Julio related, but it's definitely not going to be like on some on some like rapping shit. Because you want like you've established a brand for yourself and you want to keep pushing it by the same time you don't want

completely inundate the market. I'm not Don Julio himself. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. But I'm just having fun right now. You feel me? I definitely got a lot of more songs I'm ready to drop. I've got a lot of more songs and features I'm ready to do with people, all that. But it's like I'm just having fun right now as an introduction. You feel me?

Keep them knowing that I'm not only a rapper. You feel me? Like I make music. I do content. I stream. I do everything. You feel me. I want to be an actor.

So it's like I just show my personality the best way I can to see who I could grasp out there. I might want to give me that role one day, you feel me? What's the, okay, I asked you who the first person to tap in with, or no, we already did like the big names as well, but okay. There's a lot of them. Right. With Julio.

Definitely. Okay. So, one other thing I wanted to mention when I was going through your older video content is I saw you, I guess, I don't know how to say, dressed as a woman doing a skit. Is that high school, right? Was that a wig or is that like a Snapchat filter? So boom.

Hmm, it depends on which video was. It was when females get caught cheating. Yeah, it was a wig. My mother wear wigs, my men's malls wear wigs. Anytime they needed a wig for a video, they come and clutch, you heard. So I ain't go a lot. When I was young, it was like, not even when I was young. A lot of stuff wasn't like, like, a lot of people wasn't dick rotting the way they are now.

We're going to be straightforward. Niggas be dick rotting. Right. Dad, da, dicks be in the comments, giving the opinion. I'm like, but, but that's, but that's, you're going to be. but that's what makes all this keep going, you feel me? Yeah. So at the end of the day, it was like, I'm a do what my mind tells me to do. And then I know

when it go up, some people can relate to it. It's not that I'm being weird or being homophobic. I mean, if you're a comedian. Exactly. That's the kind of thing that to me, it's a, it's funn. It's bound to make people a lot. No funny shit. Like, on some little yadi shit. I feel like, I don't know why some hits for some females. There you go. Like, it's, you never know, bro. It's like, it's a way your mind is, you feel me? You see shit in a different light. It's crazy to put your Yaddi's sitting there with his phone just writing like,

he's going to blow my back out. Right. Wet his. Right. Talking about. But then he made millions of that. Probably. I don't know much.

But he made a bunch of money. I have a right sitting there writing some shit that he figured that a girl would say. That shit probably make him hard. Something. He probably like that shit. I didn't even think of that. That's what I'm saying. You got to fuck around.

Say some shit that you like. And have somebody else say some shit that you just told him to say and then say it. Wow. I want to write a rap for a girl now. You say that. That's what I'm saying, bro. Like, bro, you gotta really think about what people been doing since, I was born in 99. The amount of shit I see from 99 and now the amount of changes in life is crazy.

Yeah. So it's like, not that I know like, okay. When they said niggas was the future that kids were really the future. You know what I mean? We got to create the future. Like, whatever we think is possible could be possible, bro. That's serious. And it's mad people who's proven that to us every day.

It's just people be having too much pride. Have you felt like people in the rap media world? have been a little bit slow to tap in with the wave that you're pushing. Because from my perspective, I'm surprised that this is like the first big interview you're doing because it's like, if I was the breakfast club, I would have been like, shit, he's coming out of Brooklyn. He got this tongue going crazy.

Academics, he's an alcoholic. Can't believe that he didn't want to be the first one to tap in on the dawn wave. You know what's crazy is because like a lot of people feel like because I probably don't have the right. I don't know. I don't know. It's just a little raw.

Yeah, I don't know. It's just me being me. You feel? like it's nothing like constructed behind it. So that's probably what it is. You feel me? They probably want more order to it. You feel me?

And they probably don't want to be the ones to give the order to it. You feel me? And that's fine too. Because at the end of the day, I'm working, you know what I don't feel like this is the end. This is the beginning still. New York is the number one place where like

they don't necessarily want to let you in the door. You got to really earn it. You got to really make them care. I feel like that's what everybody say. But it's like, I feel like even then they don't care. They just be dick riding You feel me

So I feel like it's not It's not you gotta make them You feel me Everybody just got to do them You feel me I gotta do me Until the wheels full love They're gonna fall suit soon

Right Everybody gonna follow suit I mean shit It might be like You know you make a couple more records And then like it just becomes So in their face That they can't ignore it

And then they realize like Oh shit He had no jumper interview six months ago They been tapped in Yeah A lot of people who's like In New York is living Their own lives right now

Like we're all celebrities I'm gonna be 100% honest Like everybody in New York is a celebrity So a lot of people probably don't even know what's going on They probably think okay Who deals going viral is lit It's just highly going viral all the time They know me for me

So they probably just think okay he's going viral regular shit They probably don't think it's as big as it is Until we finish off the year Wrap it up because summer just ended Nobody's not gonna really start paying attention To like October November like You feel me when we leave it tomorrow We just made the future

Hey maybe when the ball drops It's gonna be a dickle down The last day of December, the ball will be. A leke her die, the little don. Then I'm going to be the king of New York. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Die. We got the dog.

We got that little doll. We are. Oh, bitch, I just needed it. It's fire. Did you roll that blood for my heart? Oh, I don't know. If you didn't, that's cool, too. I don't know what the fuck's going on.

Wait. You gave, oh, you were just looking at it. Never mind. It's all good. He's crazy. Okay,

so what are the plans going forward? Going forward, bro. I ain't going to lie. I've been doing a lot of background stuff this year, like a background roles, you feel me? So I've been focused on acting. I've been focused on content again.

I've been focused on YouTube. So y'all going to see a lot of that for me. Y'all going to hear a lot more music. Y'all probably going to see me in a couple different countries now. You feel me? You're probably going to see me. You're probably going to see me working with a lot of different people now. You feel me?

Because it's like 200K is not famous. 300k not famous. You feel me? Like followers don't mean nothing. Subscribers don't mean nothing. You feel me? It's all about what you're doing, what you're spreading and like your network for real,

for real, for you. Keeping the ball rolling. Definitely. So that's what I'm definitely trying to do now. I'm trying to keep the ball rolling. Try to make sure LLC Gucci, feel me, team Gucci. For me, everything is set up right.

And I just keep living my life for real. Have you had interest from labels and stuff? Have they been doing the little meetings with you and everything? Yeah, I just can't talk about it Because it's like, I don't know who I'm really going to jack Yeah But that's crazy to say I'm not a rapper, bro

That's crazy to say So it's like Everybody really need to keep pushing Doing what you do Even if you feel like You shouldn't be doing it Do that shit Like you feel me

I'm doing something right now That I feel like I didn't want to do I was scared to do Or I feel like Everybody was going to judge me for doing I don't give off You're one person Where it's like

Even if the Little Dawn movement Seems like it's not going to be the thing that takes you through a roof. I just feel like your energy and your personality is just going to like get you there. No matter what. If it's this song, if it's another 10 songs from now, whatever, I just feel like you got the personality that's going to carry this shit. I appreciate that, bro.

Definitely. How yeah. I just try to pray every day and do the most right I can literally. You feel? I'm still living and having fun, you know, making my own story. That's serious. That's the hardest part knowing that's this is, this is all you, buddy. It's really your story

You really got to You know You gotta have an instance Sometimes you really gotta know That's a fact That's what I'm trying to do now Just make sure everything Just keep going

And I know Last six months I said I wanted to do What I'm doing right now And I'm just keep trying to do The same thing Because it's happening It's dope too though

Because you're pushing something That's really positive So it's like a lot of the shit We see a rapper blow up But it's like at the same time You're worried Is somebody gonna do something They gotta move like this

They gotta click up with these people They gotta worry about these dudes coming to do something, you're just pushing like pure food. Not literally. And the only reason why I'm pushing alcohol is because I'm two five now. Like I'm, oh, I'm, I'm grown enough. So I make, I make grown up content. I make content that everybody can understand.

You're 25. 25. So you've been grinding since you were 10 years old. 10, yes, since I was 10. But when I was 13, 12, that's when I really started like videos heavy. That is motivational to the kids out there. Because a lot of times, you know, if you're working on your career or trying to make somebody or something like yourself for five, 10 years,

people start feeling like it's never going to happen. But the truth is you're still young as fuck. Yeah, I don't know about Matt. I thought I knew. I didn't know nothing. Real shit. And that's the truth about life, bro. You can't run around here with your head cut off,

thinking your head on, you feel, real shit. That's what I learned. It's a motivational story. I'm very hyped. Indeed, we activated it. I'm coming back, too. Let's do it.
