Starting point is 00:00:34 I appreciate that. Come on now. This is long overdue, bro. And today, and today, honestly, it was unexpected. I mean, I booked through them ones and he flaked. Yeah, yeah. Now, that was my fault. And that was like somebody.
Starting point is 00:00:48 They do that. No, no, fax. They flake. Hey, it's a mission over here. No, fact. It's a mission over here, man. And then we ain't even used to the traffic out here. So it's like, man, it takes them getting used to.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Yes. I've been trying to tap in with jazz for a minute. I've been, I've been a fan for a minute. He knows that. No, that's bro right here. A lot of people don't know. But me and doing it, we've been. Constant.
Starting point is 00:01:07 We just clouting on each other's stories and all times. And then today I put in the group chat that I was interviewing you. And then I'm like, damn, we're going to lock some shit in. Yeah, me, bro. Me and bro was just chopping it up the other day, too. Yeah, and I was like, what's all you trying to do with me? He's like, I'm up there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:22 My boy can't be up in here without me up in this. You feel me? It's only right. It's only right. Yeah, man. He texted me like, hey, boy, you got some questions like I asked, bro. I'm like, bro, he got no interviews. Yeah, facts.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Hey, that was one of the things, too, that I was telling myself because a lot of my fans were hitting me up and they was telling me like, damn, bro, like, you need to start being so ghost. Like, you got to come out here more. You got to start talking more. But I feel like, damn, I feel like I'm getting interrogated right now. All these campus in front. Hey, this, I ain't used to this.
Starting point is 00:01:49 I'm used to being up in the music video, you feel me, doing my lyrics, chilling with, you know, but sometimes you got to step about your comfort zone, you feel me? No, most definitely. That you are something that you aren't used to. And then the fans want to know more about you outside the music, you know what I'm saying? So you got to give them a little light about you know, a little here and there, you know. Yeah, because I think, I think this has been like a conversation lately and I know Almighty could kind of chime in more, but like it's been like a thing where podcasting is growing so much that is kind of taken away from artists. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Almighty made a name for himself a long time ago. But yeah, people feel like they don't want to just do podcasts. They're like, man, because everybody's doing it or I don't want to be an average. answering the questions and look crazy. When you got free time, because, man, I'm going to be real. I'll be watching all of the stuff that you guys be going on. Appreciate you. Feel me?
Starting point is 00:02:33 When you got some spare time, you feel me? You're chilling, no studio session, no music video, man. You kick your feet up. Put them on and they entertainer. You might just see the homie punching on somebody. It's nothing like that. So it's like, you know. Especially if it's real that good, you go on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Yeah, yeah. You feel me? Hey, the homie were viral. Hey, bro. You have to do it. You know what I'm saying. We're doing that, though. And they should have put some sound effects up in it.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Boop, boom, pow, boom, pow. There's shit, bro. I've seen slow-moes, the fast forward, all type of shit, bro. The feet one was the crazy. See, that's when I was crazy in the corner like, why you ain't talking to me? The feet was more crazy. Yeah, bro, you feel me, we're on some new shit, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:03:12 I have filled of being this. Bro, you said this is your first interview? Second, second. It's like, I would say like, yeah, because the one, I just did, I did one with Kevin Mora. Oh, that one right there, and then I did another little one with DJ Flit. Five.
Starting point is 00:03:25 That's my boy. that I had my boy Blacks up in there, but he just recently passed away. R-upil-Man. So that one right there, that one means a lot to me right there will flip. Yeah, flip my dog. And my homie that passed away, I don't know, I always used to see something in him. Like, I would always tell him like, bro, you remind me of a rapper. You remind me of a rapper.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And it's funny too, because back then before I would rap, that's what people would tell me. Like, bro, you remind me of a rapper. You need a rap or something, bro. Like, so I threw the homie up in, I told him, hey, get up out your comfort zone, come up in this interview with me. But yeah, so that one means a lot to me right there. And I know him passing away has to do product with your environment, right? Yeah, thanks.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, thanks. And there's so many questions I want to ask you about Sir Bernardino, like, and I could go on forever about that. But tell us a little bit about your upbringing and how was it growing up in the Dino, and then we'll get to the rest of the questions. I mean, damn, like, I feel like it's every other city, you know? Every other city has, you know, ups and downs to it. I feel like, well, what was San Bernardino? Like, wasn't it just like the most dangerous city in California? California.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And they didn't have like a high murder rate or something like that. It was like the murder capital or something like that. And it's like we don't even got like tourists out there. Like ain't nobody driving to go to that city. Like ain't nobody. The only time we got that is when, what is it like, EDC. I'll be up there. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:04:40 Hey, every time I go rave. Hymies. This is be high as fucking that all on Instagram going crazy. Every time I go to separate adeno for a rave. I'm like, where you have for you? Hey, but you know what's crazy? I never been to one of those raves before. Never in my life.
Starting point is 00:04:53 The baddest in the world and they're all half naked. Hey, but everybody be having fun. Hey, hey, but you know what's crazy, though, is, um, like, we used to go to the raves, but we wouldn't be in the race. They would be in their poking windows and getting in cars and shit like that. That was a lick. That was a lick right there for like for all the youngest.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Like when people will be, you know, hey, there's EDC this weekend. All the homies would be getting ready and they would go and start smacking cars and be finding all tight. So I was like, you know, it was right in our back years. It was in our backyard. So it was like, yeah, yeah. So they would find it jars. You know, crazy stuff in there.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Stupid pills. Yeah, stupid pills. What the heck? It's it all type. You name it. It was in there. So that was something, but I never even been to one. Never even been to one.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And then I see, you know, when you did the Kevin Morrow interview, you talked about your first $4,000 lick. Oh yeah, up in high school that I thought I was a shit. Yeah, talk about that lick, how you fell, the adrenaline and the rush. Because a lot of the homies that was around us, they was all, you know, flocking. It was a flock game. Everybody was flocking. Everybody was into that. Everybody was doing that.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I remember on YG even dropped the song. I was like, damn, you burning it out for us, man. You got to get us in trouble. Like, come on, don't nobody know about this and we're doing it. You felt like that? I really did. I ain't going to lie because I'm like, man, you're burning it out for us, man. I think it's felt just like that.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I'm like, damn, he just made a whole song about the whole thing. He was given exactly how you do it. And it was like, damn, man, come on. Like, now that's when everybody started getting on to it. And then they start writing our cribs and all types of stuff. You know, once time they write it at the crib, I had like four TVs up in there. I had like four laptops and they was telling my mom like, you know what your son's doing?
Starting point is 00:06:28 My mom was like, I don't know what's going on. My child is an angel. So, you know, but you know what's crazy? Because I was around what time, suspect? 2000 and what? 13. 14? 14.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah. So now that I'm thinking about how you said, how he made that song and it burned that out for everybody that was like, I never flocked. But they were making an example out of food early those times. Right. Right after that song, they was giving everybody strike. They was washing niggas. They was giving everybody.
Starting point is 00:06:53 and everything. All the homies was like bowling pins. There was strike. Oh my gosh. So now that I'm seeing it in two flockers eyes, sorry, too. But I was in juvenile hall and food were getting 10 years. I'm like, I'm like, they're charging you as an adult. It was either that or take a strike and go home. I'm like, because they know you're going to go home and flock. They know you're going to go home and flocked. I was like to have him and three of his brothers flocked and I'm like, how old are your brothers? They're all like not so far from each other. I'm like, they gave me 10 years for robbing the house.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Hell yeah. And he said, hell yeah. And then I had another homie and juvenile hard. I got out and then, but now he's doing life. And I'm like, oh, you caught that strike early. Yeah, yeah. Instead of doing the 10 years. Yeah, that's how they do you.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Wow. And especially if it's like person. If somebody president and that motherfucker, you're fighting your fitness. No, somebody present. He did his thing, no. Of course he did his thing. You know, he's telling about his background and stuff like that. But yeah, when I was up in high school and I touched that little bit of money,
Starting point is 00:07:49 you know, you think that money's going to last forever. So you think, you know, You even start belittling people like, man, get up out of here and you can't wear what I'll wear your mom by two year clothes. Like, you feel me? So it's like, you know, you walk around with a little chip on your shoulder, but, you know, I need to fucking up. I need to go back to school. I thought it was going to last forever. And what grade was this?
Starting point is 00:08:07 Then it had to be like 10th grade. You got to walk us through the lick. Yeah, oh. Walk us through the leg. Come on, YG set it off. YG set it up. Yeah, blame it on YG. You're going to scope it out because they don't believe in bank accounts, man.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Just go listen to him, man. He's going to tell you everything. Right there. And being from September, do you know, do you guys drive up to Big Bear to fuck around all the time? To be honest, I've probably been to Big Bear like three times. I probably didn't ever like beer. It's not right now.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Right now it was nice. I just seen that you was over there too. I love it. I was like, why didn't bro hit us up? Why didn't bro hit us up? Y'all might want to lick my cabin. Hell no, man. Hell no.
Starting point is 00:08:42 No, but no, I just don't know we start. You guys just drive up the hill. Yeah. I know when you was out there for EDC. That's when you called me up. Yeah, I called you. I was up there for Beyond. I mean, for escape.
Starting point is 00:08:51 And I told you, I was like, tap in with me when you leave. I was like, tapping when you leave because one of my homies had a, he had a Halloween party around that time. I think it was around Halloween. I heard it was cracking, too. Tudors, they had all the thudder box. I ain't going to lie, though. Look, when I called you, I was driving over there, and I clicked,
Starting point is 00:09:06 and I was like, the homie's like a square. He's like, it's ever in that Dino, the most dangerous city, California this year? And I'm like, yeah, maybe. And I was like, nah, we could, though. We were jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, he's straight. He's like, he like, the bullets ain't straight, dog.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Hey, the crazy part is, bro, God, being the L.A. niggins, growing up and you'll hear about the IA. and you'd be like, man, that shit bullshit. When I start going out there, the fuck it ain't. Niggins, it's getting active out there, I'll promise you. It's cheap out there, you feel me? And everybody, you feel me? When you live out here for so long and you're getting into so much trouble and stuff like that and you know, moms is probably like, man, we need to get you guys up out of
Starting point is 00:09:44 the city, you know? The first city to go to is cheap. You go out there, but you don't realize when you're going out there, you're chilling with people that are lower class, you know, you're going to run into some bad influences. Everybody left, started to leave throughout the 90s, early 2000s, went out there and just took the same mentality. You know what I'm saying? But not even that.
Starting point is 00:10:01 That mentality's been there. People don't understand the San Bernardino's a poverty city when you, well, when you guys to Bernatino? Hey, you go to the malls. Go to the malls. I just had a conversation, man. You go to the Inland Center Mall. Dead.
Starting point is 00:10:12 There's like 10 people in the whole mall. The mall that was previous to that was what? The Carousel Mall is a bandit. Bums be sleeping up in there and it's still like, There's like two scores up in there Nigger, you might die. Yeah, the waterman is bad. Hey, the waterman is bad.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Hey, you could go through it. Hey, young, bust me down. I need a little 10K carrot gold grill. No, it's crazy because I ain't going to lie. I went out there for some pussy ones. Yeah. You drove that hour? I drove it, dog.
Starting point is 00:10:39 He said I don't. No, no, look, look, look, look. I'll be damn if I lied. And you probably have some of the homies. No, look, look, I'll be lied if I damn, bro. Hold up. No, I didn't pay for none of that shit. Fuck y'all.
Starting point is 00:10:52 But I'm a damn if I lied. I ain't going to lie. The bitch. So the hummies were like, I didn't have no car. The homies like, we're going to scoop you up. But you got to fight your out your way out there. You're a little bad bitch. And I was like, this bitch bought me my little Greyhound ticket.
Starting point is 00:11:06 No cap. I ain't never lie. I ain't never like. For the pussy. And you was dedicated. No, she pulled that. She scoom me up. We were kicking out of her crib.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I thought when we drove to that motherfucker, I was like, There's so many boarded houses. Yeah, and this shit like Detroit. And I'm like, that's exactly what I said. And then she was like, well, she was kind of giving me the run down at Barthal. Like, the poverty is so low and like, there's really no business. People got to drive out here to come work. And I'm like, so now it kind of makes sense when people kind of get, when people have a good job
Starting point is 00:11:39 and they're able to like maneuver and travel and like, do you said that, don't move to Champor but still work in L.A. Or a little closer. They're working a little closer. I'm like, no wonder this shit crazy. Everybody needs money out here. They don't got an economy out there. Everybody who lives their majority, they don't work there.
Starting point is 00:11:56 They travel to other places. So it ain't no money in the city, so niggas gonna do whatever to get it. And I heard something like that too. The reason why the city is like that and the malls are like there is because we leave the city to go shop other places. We leave other places. You know, we leave the town. We don't shop at our malls. There ain't no other stores to go shop.
Starting point is 00:12:12 So we hear like Ontario. We hit places like there. Like what's the one in by Palm Springs? Cabazon. Cabazon. I go to places like that to go shop. We don't shop right there. So it's like, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:12:23 Because you don't end up going to the shop, you know, going to go shop, you know, trying to get something for the kids and the gauge. Now you're in the sale. Facts. Now you're in the sale. Facts. And when you drive out there, the environment's a little different even though, like, but that's what's crazy because everybody would be talking when they be like, oh, you're
Starting point is 00:12:39 from the IE, there ain't nothing but cows and there ain't nothing but what we're going to do with Cal Tricula, though. We know something. That's when you start going towards like Victorville. That's when he started going. going towards like the high, you know, that it's like a bunch, yeah, yeah. That's when it starts getting like a lot of land. But like San Bernardino's just like a regular, you know, a little city, but there ain't
Starting point is 00:12:56 no big, you go through your whole life? No, like, you never want to know where else? I children, Rialto. Okay. Rialto is cool. Rialto's right next door though. Literally like right next door. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It's crazy how like you go to Rialto and it looks hell of nice. Yeah, yeah, there's a difference. Hey, but I ain't going to lie. Rialto still gets active. No, no. The Aiyah is grimy. The Ayes is grimy me, you guys. They have less things to do, so there's more shootings.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Hey, that's what I be trying to tell people, man, we don't got no baseball team, man, we don't got no baseball team, we don't got no theme parks. There ain't nothing to do out there. There's literally nothing to do out there. There's nothing. So, of course, you just start getting bored and you just start. Frustration, dog. You go gang bang, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:13:32 You're going to gang bang to find something to do. That's just what it is. You're going to steal, gang bang or both, nigga. There's, yeah. There's, there's, there's, there's, there's bars, but the bars, the bars get active, you know? So it's like, stay away from the bar. as you know. So it's like, yeah. But other, okay, if we're being, okay, there's all the other bad shit, but what are some of like the good memories and places you went to in
Starting point is 00:13:54 San Bernardino? I feel like growing up. I feel like, man, all the homies, all the cousins, because my mom is originally from Long Beach. My mom's originally from Long Beach. So I got family out there in Long Beach, you know, we still go visit them. But my mom came out here. She came to San Bernardino, like, kind of like by herself. Like, yeah, she kind of came by herself. So yes, I would say, like, you feel me, the family that comes to. cousins, you feel me? I love days like Easter, like Easter time, you know, everyone gets together, you know, the old hood comes together, put some food, you know, up and it's cool. Y'all don't have no carnivals, like no shit like that, like that's from the city. I would say
Starting point is 00:14:29 Route 66, yeah, where they bust out all the old school cars and stuff like that, but then again, they had to shut those down for some of the years because it was bad, it was bad. They had to shut those down too. So like a lot of things like, you know, so the city kind of like, they try to give you, you know, some leniency let you guys do so. And then, bam, something bad happens. So it's like, yeah, we can't do that no more. And how's relationship with moms? Oh, man, mom's is, she a real one right there.
Starting point is 00:14:52 How many kids is mom got? Like seven kids, you feel me? And you're her favorite? Yeah, I got to be. Yeah, that's my brother right there. Okay. That's my, that's my, that's the baby right there. That's what's up.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Oh, he's the favorite? Yeah, no, hell, no, I am. You feel me? Who are the favorite of bro? You all fight for the favorite. You all fight for the favorite. No, I already know I am. She's like, eh, you can't.
Starting point is 00:15:15 the rapper. Hey, I don't see you on. I don't see you right here. Hey, I don't see you right here. He's not. His mom. Hey, come sit down right here. His mom. His mom finished his interview, Tripping. Oh, you want to be the favorite mother. My mother's like that. She knows, she don't, but my mom's a gangster. My mom's a real life gangster. Like, a lot of people don't know that, but my mom, my mom's a gangster right there. She, she did it all. You feel me? Popsie's doing life. She, didn't they try to get her for something like that? Like, like, Yeah, yeah, they locked her up, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Man, I remember one time I see my mom come down and change. They had her strapped up like she was about the, like a ninja assassin, you feel me? How did that affect you growing up? Seeing your mom's like that? Well, I hid. I was at the other career. I went to the homie's house when I had seen all the trucks coming. I went to the homie's house.
Starting point is 00:16:01 He was there, though. He was there. I left. Everybody was like, don't go over there, you know? Don't go over there. And so I stayed at the homie's house because we was, we had a lot of stuff. So we was able to get all the stuff and go to the homies house and chill. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Did you have relationship with pop, before he caught the life? Well, me, I refer to him as my dad, but my real dad, I really don't, I really don't speak to him. I really don't talk to him. Yeah. We fast fought before, like stuff like that. So, you know, like, it was bad growing up with him.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So I always respected him. I always like, my step pops, I always liked how he was respected in the city. And I feel like, you know, it always made me want to be like that. I wanted to be respected just like him, you know, so I carry myself, you know, in the best way, myself differently, you know, I didn't want people to go around and, you know, you know, want me to, you know, laugh at me or nothing like that. He's like, you know, hold it down and you could have the same respect around the city. Did the relationship with your real pops get affected by the fact that you had another
Starting point is 00:16:58 man, but that somehow sold you more love and like, yeah, I remember one time, one time I was, man, I was, I was down bad, I was down bad and I ended up calling pops. I had to be like 15, I had to be like 15, 16. That's when we was flocking and I was down bad. I didn't have no money. And I ended up, I don't know what made me. He called him up. I called him up like, hey, man, my car broke down.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I need to get my starter fix. You feel me? I'm a teenager. I was doing my thing. I didn't have my own car and everything. He was like, what are you calling me for? I ain't your dad? He's like, damn.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Go call him up. Isn't that your dad? I was like, damn. Short thing, though, I called up step pops. You know, he's doing life. He's doing life. And I explained the situation. He's like, what the hell are you doing?
Starting point is 00:17:34 Don't ever go to him. Like, for Sean, I'm going to have some money dropped out to you right now. was like, hey, here goes, here was a starter. I just bought it for you. Never met the guy in my life, never seen him again. Sound like, like step-pops is a real nigga. Yeah, yeah, no, for sure. Yeah, no, he's adjoining the city for sure.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Damn, but see, imagine that, bro. How did that affect you? Like, did that make you feel like, yeah, nigga? Like, I'm trying to go up and really be like that, though. Yeah, yeah, you know what makes. No, for sure. That makes you walk around with ass on your chest? Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yeah, because, you know, you feel like you got big shoes to fit in. And, you got to, you know, you got to get there, you know, And everybody wants that type of, you know, as a man, you know, everybody wants to walk up in the building and be, like, respected. Everybody wants to be. So, you know, you got to do what you got to do to get there. You can't just sit there and just live off of someone else's name. You got to go and get it yourself, you know. So that was always something that I had to do, you know, I felt like I had to make my own name.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I had to make my own name. I had to be, you know, my own print in the city, you know. So what age you jump off the porch? First time you went down. Damn, damn. I don't know. We was always doing. I bought my first pistol in sixth grade.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Hmm. I bought my first eight. Can you tell us that story? Some Bernadino's crime me. Take this out. Hey, take this out. Hey, hey. Sabanadino needs some therapist.
Starting point is 00:18:45 We're going to go through toy drives. The niggas need a YMCA. Nah, hey. Klippers, move your eyes since to San Bernardino. Hey, not, but check this out. Hey, take this out. Tell me this ain't your first trap. Tell me this ain't let me take a little water on here.

Starting point is 00:19:10 So everybody used to go, everybody knows about the pizza house of a Sierra. Everybody goes, that was always our family spot. We always always always go to this pizza house. We would always steal tickets and cheat on the games and do everything. And one day, one of them, we were sitting by the little eight, you know where you put the quarters in? You put a dollar in, you get four quarters back. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:32 The exchangeer. For some reason, we went and the motherfucker was open. We just opened it up and we was like, and we seen two brown. You know like the bags that people be getting tatted on them? Like that coin bags? It was a brown bag just like that. Like some old bag robberies. Open that.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yeah, yeah. Just like the old cartoons and stuff like that. And we opened it up. Sure enough, there was a gang of quarters in there like four bags full of quarters. I just started stuffing my pockets with them. Stuff in my pockets with quarters. Tell me why I went back, my pants was sagging. I went back home.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I had like $300 in quarters. I went to school and I taught all the homies like, oh yeah, this is, man. I need me some. I need me a bang. I need something nice. Sure enough, there was some one dude for me, also. Some dude for the toe. Right there, he came through.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And we went to his pad. He took it out of his little AC, gave him it. You feel me? And that was it. You gave $300 and quarters on you? Nah, yeah, I did. I gave him $300. Hey, he was a real one.
Starting point is 00:20:23 He took it, though. He took it, though, you know, gave us a little revolver. It was cool. The revolver, he didn't even have no shells. And guess what? My mom came through, found it in the drawer and took it. Gave it to her man. Gave it to her man.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I was like, man. I was like to her man ever since then. Ever since then, like, man, he's just walking around with my blower in the city. Like, he didn't just take it from a sixth grader. Like, crazy. Hey, keep it about, allegedly, we've also, things we're not supposed to sell, allegedly, of course. Did you guys accept quarters? What, what would you be?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Hell yeah. Say anything. What did you want to say? What did you want to say? No cap. It all add up, nigga. Get rich a tron. He's like, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:20:56 I'll take pennies. I'll take anything. Man. You got a shitty player. I'm going to take that shirt. You got an iPad. You got an iPad. You got a iPod.
Starting point is 00:21:02 You got an iPad. Inside Albertsons, coin star, nigga. You don't know how many times I didn't hit, nigga, did whatever I did, nigga, did whatever I did, nigga, nigga, Nicky. And the Albertsons, go right up in that motherfucker with your bag of quarters.
Starting point is 00:21:13 No, I'm in that bitch, nigga. In high school, the homie used to turn down the quarter to fill the piece house with the quarters. I used to be like, I used to be like, give me all that shit. I used to go home and wash the whole block shit. Everybody. Everybody gets the laundry here.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Give me the five bucks. Give me the five bucks. Here's some quarters, boom. Yeah, he was not about his bag. No cap. So you jump off the porch, sixth grade, you got your strap. It's gone now. So now you already in the street.
Starting point is 00:21:38 So you ain't, when did you want to switch from street shit to rap shit? Man, what's crazy was is I always wanted to be a, you feel me? I always wanted to rap ever since I was a kid. Ever since I was a kid, I always used to, but I feel like in San Bernardino is not really realistic. It's not realistic. It didn't get realistic until like the full page it started popping. That's when I feel like it started getting realistic.
Starting point is 00:22:00 when it started getting like, because back there, like in San Bernardino, nobody knows, but there's not really no too many studios. And if they, if there is studios, they'd be holding out on them, you know? Not everybody gets along in San Bernardino, not everybody's friendly. It's not like really like a friendly city. So it's like, yeah, there's not too much cameraman, producers, none of that. So it's like, you know, we had to, we had to like, you know, look for that type of stuff. So it wasn't really something like.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And on top of it, like when I used to explain to the homies, like, man, we need to get up in the studio, the homies would look at me, like, what are you trying to write? Hey, you're a rapper. Like, you're a rapper, man. Get up out there. Come on, man. Let's go here, son. Let's go get some dough.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So then that's when it's like, yeah, whenever you would ask the homies, you would get shut down. Like, it was something that people would laugh at. Like, you know. Yeah, yeah, you don't see no money in the chat. Yeah, yeah, you don't see no money. Exactly. You never really met somebody. But, you know, so like, yeah, so stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:22:49 But I was still like, man, I can't live my life without doing it. I got to do it. I got to do it. I got to at least even if I do it. And you get laughed at, oh well, at least you gave it a try. I would want to be 40 years old being like, damn, I should have did it. You miss every shot you don't take. Facts, that's a fact right there.
Starting point is 00:23:05 That's a fact right there. So that wasn't something that I would be able to go to sleep with. If I was 40 years old, I ought to be pissed. What age did you make your first song? Yeah, that was like three years ago? No, hell no. My first time I made my first song, I was like 18. Oh, yeah, thanks to flocking.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I flocked and I bought all my studio equipment like at 18. That's fire. I brought pro tools. Man, you could ask the homie. You could ask the homie. He's, Markman, we went through, we flocked. I came up on some money. Went straight to, what is it called?
Starting point is 00:23:32 Guitar Center. I bought everything. I bought everything. I borrowed and never left the box. It never left the box until I met one of the homies and the homies was like, come on, bro. Because you didn't know how to use none of this shit. Or set up, yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:45 So yeah, so I went and finally set it up. I dropped a little song and that was it. I never did it until like three years ago. Three years ago, that's when I started making little songs and stuff like that. So yeah. And that was a song that got 40 K. Song club? Nah, no.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Wait, which one? SoundCloud. Oh, I forgot. I forgot what was the first song. What was the first song? Yeah, where. I did some song called Where. I just threw it up on SoundCloud.
Starting point is 00:24:07 It went crazy though. Because a lot of people don't know, like, we had a name in the city before we was rapping. So we knew a lot of people that was willing to vouch and be like, yeah, like, they live like that, you know, they're talking in that music is real, you know? Because you know, when you see a little homie that you went to school with and you're like, bro, you was not like that. You were not like that. Turn that shit right off. Yeah, yeah. about that. You know, we didn't even going to listen to that. Everybody was behind me.
Starting point is 00:24:30 The whole city was behind me, so it was like, you know, that's fire. So once I dropped the songs, they was going crazy on SoundCloud, they was going crazy on the music videos. So it was like, you know, it was everyone there. If I let he sang after that, how everything just started coming together. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's when Ben did and that came out and that's when they went to that. That shit is crazy. And that's when I start getting love out here. That's when I started getting love out here.
Starting point is 00:24:54 That's when I heard it. and love out here in LA, that's what you know. Because to be from the IE and get accepted out here in LA is a little hard. And look, and look, I'll be having to lay, I want to apologize because we care about numbers. And we're haters. And that's just facts. I'm just being honest.
Starting point is 00:25:10 We got this weird shit where we be hating on IE niggas. I'll be the nigga who don't be on that. Because, no, I'd be supporting hella niggas from the I. Yeah. Yeah. I love I eat bitches. So I can't hate. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:25:21 It's like, don't be hate because, though. Hey, that's what's crazy because they're old. No. Hey, hey, you probably, Hey, you probably sleeping with the homie's baby mom. He said he been did that, you know. And he's like, he's like, I like, you bitch, it's like, damn shit, that's the homie's baby mom right there.
Starting point is 00:25:38 No, but, no, no, no, but that, it's true. And especially for a Mexican, bro. And I do want to give you that because I know you talked about it on the Kevin Moore interview, but the everything was going on from the, from the King Moth Wanda to, I like it. And everybody was kind of doing their thing. But they weren't Mexican.
Starting point is 00:25:58 We fucked with it. Yeah, yeah. But in then seeing you come out of there and just fucking, like, roared out and went crazy. And even that, when you were sitting in the caramoreen where you were like, man, I was the first Mexican to get a million views in rap. Because I know there was worse for us in a regita, but that was you. Yeah, yeah. And you're the first one with a million? For a show he is.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yeah. Yeah. We need to get, we need to put a flag city to the key. San Bernardino. Mayor, let's figure it out. But there's a lot of talent out there. There's a lot of talent out there in the city. I feel like, man, we could probably be bigger than what we are if everybody will come
Starting point is 00:26:32 together, you feel me? But like I said, San Bernardino is not really like a friendly city. It's not, but it's going to take years to get like that. And it's like, you know, I don't blame nobody. I don't blame nobody. We all know the, you know, the environment, how it can be. So it's like we respect everybody's space at the end of the day. Like, you know, we'll come through.
Starting point is 00:26:48 But when the time, you know, when the time's ready. Yeah, when timing aligns and everything starts to make sense for Everybody. When Ben did that pop up, how did more of that? Like, you Ben had ops, you fools don't like each other. But how much more did it, girl? Like, like, like, like. They already didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Okay, say you didn't like me. Say you didn't like me. And now you're driving around the whole city. Now you're hearing it at every red light, at every stop sign. Isn't that going to make you just start punching the air when you get home? No, no. See, yeah. As we go start.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Boosie said it. And you're-chill-in? Yeah, yeah. Feel me? Imagine you chilling. Imagine you chilling this shit like that. You hate us already. You want us dead.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You want us dead. And then you're driving and you see your girl, put my song up. Yeah, my bitch put the odds. I'm hot. My bitch, put the arms. I'm hot. Say y'all did something to a nigga, right? And then one day he's chilling in his apartment, he'd wake up,

Starting point is 00:27:56 Type shit. Get the fuck up on the house, too, bitch. That's facts. That's facts. I feel like I got people that hate me for something that I didn't even do what my homies did, you know? Yeah. So it's like, you know, it comes with it.
Starting point is 00:28:06 You all fought by association, dog. But what about your homies like, like, like what about the effect they come from it? Because I know a lot of my homies, like example, nobody knows this story. But Jakarta got cracked before because of me. He cracked open his head. Pout! Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And it was like, fuck, you know. You got ops for it. What fuck I'm a joining this. You feel? You know, I know that's not like you. I'm a comedian, dog. What you do shit? But it's a little different.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I didn't know you have like, ah. Look, but it's because I'm not a rapper. Because you used to painting shit too, or you still do, right? I mean, shit, I'm from the blog, you feel me? Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? But a tagger shit gets serious. Hey, that tagging snaps, so I was just about to say right now.
Starting point is 00:28:43 That's serious, you know? But it's like, you know, but it's like, bro, like, I'm... What time is there right now? It's 5 p.m. I think I have a billboard getting installed for my brownback saw at the Novo Theater in a couple places they don't like and, you know about tomorrow? So, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:58 You're mad. You, bro, if I beat the dog's out of you in high school. Facts out of you and maybe I don't know some other alleged things. And you see me on no jumper and going viral and kicking it with big-ass comedians and doing, I'm going to be mad too. So imagine this fool. Cambreda Dino's big but it's small as shit. Real small.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So now he here right now. Oh, they're going to be mad. They're going to be mad. They're going to be mad. Definitely going to be mad. Yep, that's fact. But it's like, it comes with the territory. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:29:27 It comes with the territory. We can't shy you out just because, you know. Yeah, yeah. We still got to keep doing it. We've got to keep moving. And then what about the bitches? The bitches, I don't know. What you, you like smokers?
Starting point is 00:29:37 No, no, I'm talking about it. Oh, I thought you were far in the city. No, I thought you were in part to her. Oh, yeah. You know, got some baddies? You don't put the bitches from John Brayden. That's crazy. Where are your baby mama from?
Starting point is 00:29:51 They're from not from San Bernardino? Yeah, my baby mom's from like, from like Fontana, a little more out there. He said that's smoked out, though. Fontana smoked out. Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. It's a no, it's better than anything. It's better than San Bernardino.
Starting point is 00:30:05 No, but what I'm saying is like, because I'm pretty sure before BM, pitches were already around. You flew with the joints. Oh, no, still are. Yeah, you flew were joints in the city. But imagine now you've with our joints and one of the army, the biggest rapper coming out. Easy. Hey, I was just saying that too,
Starting point is 00:30:20 I did a little couple of moves for maneuvers for the homies and shit like that. I'd be having females come through. Like, hey, come through for the homies, you feel me? Or come through for me, I'm going to be right there. And then the girls get there and I do the dash through the back door. And they'd be like, where's J.I? He's not good. I'm already on the Eway.
Starting point is 00:30:38 I'm on my way to some for sure pussy. Jay is stupid and shit up. Yeah, but the homies end up cracking them too. So it's good. It's good. Fire and soap. When you dropped, bitch I bend did that, or even before that, what was like the first popular rapper to like reach out or popular motherfucking general to reach on and be like this shit fire? Damn.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Damn. Do you know? Yeah, because I remember you shared it on your story. Yeah, I remember when bro shared it. I be talking to my people. Yeah, yeah, no, for sure. Bro was one of the first one. That shit's a banger.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I didn't fucking host to that shit. Yeah, no, I seen bro posted on his story. That's when I was like, and that's love right there. And then, of course, Phoenix. Phoenix tapped in. So, yeah, like, you know, then I did a lot. that song with Memo. So it's like everybody started,
Starting point is 00:31:21 everybody started coming from, you know, from everywhere. Domino effect. Yeah, domino effect after that. So, yeah, so it was cool. And then, yeah,
Starting point is 00:31:28 we started locking in, start coming more out here. Yeah, so. And how serious is it to you now? Like, like, you're popping food, but I know there's so much more. I feel like you know that you could do.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah, yeah, no, that's facts right there. I feel like, man, sometimes I'll be playing with it, though. Sometimes I'll be playing with it.
Starting point is 00:31:46 I feel like I could, I could be going hard. than what I am, what I feel like a lot of the stuff that be going on that's that's surrounded behind us and stuff like that kind of gets up in the way, but it's like you can't get sidetracked from that. You got to stay focused on it because that's exactly what they want. They want you to slow down. They, you know, man, the devil works, you feel me? So it's like, they want you to stop, they want you to, you know, but it's like you can't. So it's like I got to put all that to the side, I got to push all that to the side and I got
Starting point is 00:32:11 to keep pushing, got to keep getting in the studio, keep going, keep grinding, you know. So it's like, and plus I got two little ones. I got two little ones. I got two little ones, so they depending on me, you know? Who are ages? I got a one, and she's about to be three years old, and I got a 10-month-old. So it's like, you know. Oh, yeah, she's a baby right there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:30 You have two girls? Two girls, man. I did some shit in my past. God is still punishing me to this day. I'm gonna be pissed if I try to push for a boy, and I get another girl. That's one I know. I got one girl. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I'm like, I'm a twin, by the way. Yeah, my friend. Yeah. I'm like, bro, this is we got a twin. Yeah. She was creepy. She worked in like, I was like, oh, it's a suspect baby all the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:52 No, but yeah, man, I feel like, and then on top of it, like even like the first year into it, the first year of the music, I was getting offered deals. I was getting offered all tight. But I was turning them down because I didn't know what to expect. Right. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't trying to get done in.
Starting point is 00:33:05 You know, because you hear all these bad stories about people, you know, now they're stuck. Now you can't do nothing. Now you're getting shelved. So I was just like, man, I'm cool because I'm still 100% independent. I don't got no distribution deals. I don't got no manager. I manage myself, you know. Sometimes I let my people put something in the play for me, but other than that, I'll take
Starting point is 00:33:21 care of everything by myself, you know. I book my own shows. I do everything like this, so it's like, you know, it comes with a little, you know, a little sweeter taste when you do everything by yourself, you feel me, but at the same time, I do see myself bigger than what I am. And I think even that, like, what your, how you said right now, like, well, you're nothing to play with when it comes to this rap shit. And like, bro, like, you really rap, food.
Starting point is 00:33:44 I appreciate that. And you, and I love. how like the couple times I met you, always like the same people with you. Yeah, yeah, facts. Where's the ugly motherfucker I really like? He's busted. He's busted.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Funny? Mr. Still hitting Licks. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, that's the boy right there. Riley, put the camera on me. Free the guy, man. Funny is most fucking, oh, bro, the fool, dog.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Hey, I love a homie right there. I let a homie right there. But sometimes I got to tell him, like, hey, bro, chill out, bro. Not with me. Not with me. Bro got real bad ATDXD. No, no.
Starting point is 00:34:16 No, he's like, he need Adoro. Yeah, he's out of hool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He needs Zaneh. I love him to that, though, bro. Yeah, no, facts. I got love for bro right there, but yeah, he had to go.
Starting point is 00:34:28 He was out here for a cool little minute, he was messing up. But, yeah, he had to go turn himself in, get that out the way. And so I feel like, I feel like that's, you know, best. Like, hey, just go knock it out the way, you feel me? But it's easy to say when you ain't the one, you feel it? Yeah, yeah. So it's like, come on, knock that out the way. So when you get out, you know, we can get back to it.
Starting point is 00:34:45 We could get back to it. But I wish all the homies would get up in the booth too and start spying. But it's like, you know, you can't force someone to do something that they feel like that wasn't their calling, you know? How was it the first time you performed and you and your homies reacted to somebody, the whole crowd just word for word? Oh, yeah. That's still crazy right there too because we'd be on the right homes and the homies be still getting, bro, did you see that? Man, you really him?
Starting point is 00:35:10 Like, you know, so it's like, yeah. But, you know, I feel like regardless, like even if they wasn't, you know, you really, you know, and singing, you know, all my people's is still right next to that, right there next to me. A lot of my people's go for my safety. They go for my safety, you know. Shout out that, at the end of the day, like, that's what they, you know, that's really what they do. Like, you know, there's times where my cousins call, my, my homie's calling. They're like, hey, like, we're going to pick you up. We're going, you know, we're sliding tonight, you know, so it's like them, I haven't seen y'all in a month. Like, you think
Starting point is 00:35:38 we're about to let you go to the show by yourself. Come on, man, we're going. So it's like, you know, and even I had, I even have club, little promoters and stuff like like hey bro please don't come that deep next time well they ain't going I ain't going that me they'd be like come through they'd be like come with just you and four people wait hold on you sound like you said me up you're trying to set me up face time me who is this I'm not going unless you facetime me how do you feel about the clubs then you don't be going to clubs yeah yeah I'll go over here and there I'll go over here and there it's cool you feel me step out real quick go have some phone real quick you feel me get my face scene for a little bit

Starting point is 00:36:32 I don't want to say too much. I don't want to say too much. Go home and it'd be over with it. You know what I'm saying? I feel that. It's okay. He'll fight in the money. But you know, I'm a good day.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Regardless, that's, that's, That's the most beautiful thing. Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, I'm not one of them, you know. I take care of my kids, I'll do everything, you know. You might catch me with a pink backpack on, you know. How to have your daughter change you? A lot.
Starting point is 00:36:56 A lot. Speak on me. Man, like crazy. Honestly, I wouldn't, when I first dropped my first music video, that's when I was like, man, I need to do something with this music. I can't be playing with it. I was like, my daughter's about to be born, you know, next month. I gotta do something.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I got to do a music video. And that was something that I was always terrified to do was to do a music video because I knew, I knew, I had a feeling like, man, once we do this music video, we're going to start getting pointed out. We're going to start getting pointed out. We're going to stick out like a sore thumb in the city. And I don't want that. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I want to be low-key, but it's like, you got to do that. It's either you're going to do it or not. What are you going to do it or not? Make up your mind up now.
