No jumper, man. What's up, man. I'm T. Rell. And I'm glad to have my homeboy here, K-boy, man. It's been a long time coming.
Man, I've been knowing this young man for a very, very long time. We've been through it all. Man, I didn't see him go through it all.
And, you know, right now, I'm glad to have him sitting here. And I'm going to try to get real familiar with this nigga right now. What a dude, girl?
What's the deal? You good?
Yeah, I'm good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm glad to see you sitting here, you feel me, doing your thing, you feel me, looking
like, you know, a whole bunch of positive-ass energy.
Yeah, I'm glad to be right here on this no-jumper couch.
It's been a long time coming.
Yeah.
Yeah, I damn near have to cut your ass out.
I mean, sorry, I was late today.
I was being a little, you know, unprofessional.
I thought the interview was at three.
I mean, four, and it ended up being three, and I had to come rush here doing some bullshit,
but it's all good.
I'm here with you.
I'm glad to be here with you.
You know what I'm saying?
Here, bro.
Come here.
You know, I was just inquiring about your fit.
And I was just wondering, you know, you're real comfortable with everything.
So where did you get that hat from?
Did you go to the swap meet?
Or did you go to Liz?
You were to, give me that one.
Yeah.
You know, I'm a hat kind of, so I wear them all.
I wear them all.
Yeah, I mean, I fuck with you.
I fuck with you.
Man, let me start playing with you, though, man.
getting to my boy
Yeah, I'm just joking, I'm just joking
But look, man
Yeah man
I want to really get into this shit
Man, you know
Because you
You was one of the niggas that was there
Before all this West Coast shit
Like really like
Took off as far as your generation
Because you was there with the school boy cues
You was there with the Kendrix
The J-Rogs, Apsos
I remember you in you know
Back there rapping G. Malones
I remember you in these
these magazines, I remember you doing all of this shit, you feel
me, taking these steps to do this shit on the West Coast,
you know what I'm saying? But something, something
there went wrong, you feel me? Like, and I just
want you to, like, let me know, like, where in that mix, you feel
me, you feel like you fell off? I feel like, honestly,
I was doing my thing, right? But I don't think I necessarily fell off. I
felt like that I was very inconsistent.
And before I was inconsistent, I did get shot up.
So when everybody started flourishing, it was like, what, 2010?
Yeah.
That's when I got hit up.
So I was watching everybody from the sideline.
That's when Nip got big.
That's when G got cracking more.
J. Rock started cracking more.
Dot wasn't even cracking just cracking it.
You know what I mean?
It was them.
They was like the forefront.
Bishop was still around and everything.
But when I got shot, it kind of like,
took a drain on me.
And when it took a drain on me,
I just start being very, very inconsistent
where I dropped something here
and then won't rap for two or three years after that.
I remember talking to AD.
He was like, I didn't even think you rap no more.
I thought you was just a businessman.
I thought you was managing people.
Or just gang banging.
I mean, I was.
Because that's what I'm thinking.
I'm like, okay, he's just full-time, this crib.
I'm like, okay, you feel I'm me?
No, man, but I was trying to find myself again
because I was amongst the elites, the West Coast.
And, yeah, man, it just wasn't happening for me that time.
But I believe in timing, though, right now I feel like it's cracker.
So how did you get shot up?
Man, this is not even no Superman story, man.
I was living in, like, the 30s, the Harlem's.
It was like the borderline, the 30s and the Brims.
And I was parked in front of my apartment,
waiting on my guy ace that I was in the group with.
It was about to get our first page.
show we was happy i'm waiting on him he was a little late like how you was today and uh make
it pulled up on me they can tell me was bragging i told him what's cracking he told him he asked me
where i was from i told him i couldn't even finish my sentence before he let the whole clip out
fortunately only got here four times the doctor say five but i say four because i don't believe in the
gray's the gray's bullet but four times bro and i'm here to talk about it four times and he
asked you what was bracking.
Yeah.
I mean,
being shot,
did it take you to, like, you know,
being a little, like,
envious. I'm not envious, but just, like,
trying to take
this shit to another level to where you're, like,
I need retaliation.
You know what?
In the beginning, of course, we're from the streets.
You want to get it cracking, but I made it
to where it wouldn't be my hood versus that hood,
because I knew everybody from that.
other hood yeah I mean and I had relatives from that other hood my homies knew the nigger he just didn't know
who I was at the particular time until the information came out you feel me so it was like one of them
i mean nah niggas know who you was I mean but you are one of them niggas you know like you
you you ad before a d you know what I'm saying like AD I say what I say that to say like
everybody loves this nigga no matter where you from no matter what you're doing how you doing it like
you one of them niggas
like you really
you know I'm saying
like everybody loves K-boy
niggas this that and the other
blah blah blah blah blah blah
so to hear you get shot up too
we're like okay he gonna bounce back
you know this one year
he gonna bounce back
where he at
he gonna bounce back so
how did that take a toll on you
was did it bring you into like a depression
mode or what?
For sure realistically
mentally it fucked me up
because then you don't
I had to learn how to walk again.
It took me two and a half years to walk again.
So I had to learn that process again.
Just watching your peers blow up,
and you know you're supposed to be there.
And then music changing, you know what I mean?
When I come back to music, then we got the jerk error.
You know what I mean?
Now the new boy is cracking and audio push and all that.
That's cool.
But I wasn't doing that type of music.
I was doing gangster rap.
So just trying to fit in when everything was kind of like difficult.
I felt like I could do it,
but at that time mentally I just wasn't there
because I was fucked up.
And like how you said,
trying to keep your street rep,
when you're being ignorant
and you talk the wrong way,
trying to keep the street rep that really don't even matter.
Trying to make sure
niggas knew that like, okay, I'm out here.
Like, niggas was thinking that I stayed in the area.
After that, I still stayed where I stayed
four years later.
But it wasn't because I was tough.
I really just didn't have the money to move.
But outside looking in,
and me, I took that too.
So I took the energy.
Like, yeah, I'm,
right here still standing outside where it happened
hoping somebody pull up
but that was ignorant at the time
because if somebody pulled up we wouldn't be having this
conversation so
yeah that's like that's crazy as fuck
you know what I'm saying for you to be doing
that shit the whole thing you said to
I got a home girl right yeah one of my best friends
Tyne Ward but fuck off in BPS she do a lot of shit
with AD with 60s she told me all the time
and it stuck with me after I got shot this one I start
realizing like yeah everybody may love me but everybody
don't fuck with me. And she was telling me like, bro, you really from where you from? But you're a
happy-go lucky, crib. You just be everywhere with no care in the world. Just, just everywhere.
She's like, bro, you got to stop that. And I was thinking that the reason why I told him what's
cracking and told him where I'm from because I'm thinking in my mind, like how you said, oh, everybody
loves K-boy. Once I let him know, my name is K-boy, he's going to go, oh, I know who you are.
That wasn't the case. That nink can give a fuck who I was. So I, I have.
have to take it to be like, okay, you got to move strategically and you got to move accordingly.
And you got to keep your head on the swivel, whether you think everybody deal with you or not.
It's the world we live in, bro.
Yeah, because now, like, even still, like, these rappers is moving out here, like, and you learn it from experience.
So now when you get out here, like, and you bumping the niggas and you know, niggas is hard-headed.
Like, what do you tell, motherfuckers?
Because these niggies is wild out here.
I'm telling the same thing I'm saying right now
you got to move accordingly
and bro you got to really
understand that this is for real
this is life. Don't take your life for granted
don't play with your life because it's serious out here
but we took the
to the air and the generation
where everything is social media
and you didn't have to
ride with the big homies that
put in work you didn't have to have on
the face you ain't really got to go to the jills
or none of that you could just be tough
from your phone and have a lot
of people that vouched for you being tough.
So everybody want to feel like they're tough from this, from this device.
And a lot of us are just allowing it.
So that's what it is.
So everybody wants to talk every, I ain't never seen nobody go live with their enemy until
this generation.
That shit is baffling.
Like, you go live with your enemy, talking back and forth about doing harm to each other
and when something happened, everybody would be like, oh, that shouldn't it?
But they brought that among themselves, though.
So I just feel like just as
Niggas like us, me, you
older people before
as I feel like we, you know, something went wrong.
The information.
I mean, so we got to get the youth, the information, the right way.
Like, I'll tell my homies all the time.
Look, everybody don't rap.
Everybody's not going to get a job.
But if you're going to be in the streets, you got to do it right.
You got to be a thinker.
You got to think with anything that you do.
Because with every action, it's a reaction.
So always remember that.
So make sure you think before you do so.
You know, gaining all of this knowledge, learning along the way.
How do you actually feel about cripping?
Do we, is it a thing that we should glorify still?
Or do you tell the younger generation, fuck this shit?
It's so crazy, right?
I'm in the drive outside right now, pool.
We talk about this all the time.
We debate about it.
We argue about it.
We agree about it.
We disagree about it.
Cripping in blood.
So Criving since I'm on that side of the fit.
A lot of people think when we rap,
that we glorify.
Like Nip had this problem
when he was alive.
We had these conversations
many of times.
We're not glorifying anything, bro.
We're just really telling you our story.
We're really telling you the pros and the cons
about what goes on the streets.
Sometimes it seemed like we glorifying it
because we're reping our area in our section.
So, of course, we're happy where we're from.
We pride for what we're from.
That's our tribe.
But realistically, yeah, man, this shit fucked up.
When you think about it, it really is fucked up.
Like, it's like, I know what's cliche to say, but it's really just death and jail.
That's it.
You don't got no 401K.
You don't got no dental plan.
You ain't got no insurance.
And nine times out of ten, we got to do a car wash or a catfish fry to bury the person.
So you niggas ain't financial literate.
You knick's, like, in that of that, financial literate, you know, literacy.
You don't know to have fucking life insurance, you feel I mean?
Like, niggas got wheels.
you know what I'm saying
Niggas, you know, mutual funds
Niggas, you know, your parents
should know about this type of shit
and we don't grow up with this shit, you feel
me, so. We don't teach, we only
do what we talk and if we wasn't taught it we're not
going to do it. So we only do what we talk
and shit, man, this shit is crazy.
Like, yeah, I tell them like,
yeah, I tell them a young nigga all the time, like,
before you enter this, like, really think about it
because it really ain't worth it.
It's really not. This shit is crazy
out here. And are you really ready
for this because when it happens
what you're going to do about it.
And nine times out of ten in hoods, you got like
thousands of members, but
there only be like 15 killers.
That's a crazy
percentage rate. So everybody else
is hustlers, pretty
boys. You know what I mean?
Hold down the block. Yeah, they hold
the block down. I was one of the niggas who squabble all the time. I ain't
never betraying myself to be no killer. You feel
me? Yeah. If it comes to that, yeah, but
other than that, you know, I was one of, I'm going to squabble you.
but I like, you know, I like to get money.
So some shit ever happening like,
K-boy hopping, uh,
and you like, you turning it down.
Like, no, I ain't getting in the car.
I don't get pressure, though, like that.
You know what I mean?
Maybe because of the generation I'm from
and, you know what I mean,
who my brother was, you know what I mean,
before he passed away.
The people I did with, my clique,
maybe that's what it is.
Or they just respect the gangst in me.
I don't know what it is,
but I don't get pressure to do anything.
I mean?
Let's go back, you know what I'm saying?
said you, you know, motherfuckers always ask you the same question, but I'm going to ask you.
And because we know, we redoing this whole thing, you know what I'm saying?
Kay Boy is coming back out here.
This is a whole new audience.
These motherfuckers is young.
So they got to learn about you and seeing what's going on.
So take me back to the young, Roddy, you know what I'm saying, crazy Kay Boy.
Oh, I would say that was the Blue Division days.
Me.
Well, I got cut off by pulling glasses every other day.
You feel me?
Yeah.
I mean, it was one time, right, who's going to laugh?
Because he got a gang of stories with me.
He just trying to, you know, shape me into the man that I need to be, right?
So introduce yourself.
So he told me this, so I'm going to teach people watching this.
Just because you're gay, man, you don't got to introduce yourself as your gang name and where you from.
You could just be like, hey, my name, K-boy, bro, what's up?
How are you doing?
But then when did you learn that?
I'm telling you right now.
Because I didn't learn that for a long-ass time.
I tell you right now.
We was in the day,
I wish he'd tell me,
we were somewhere,
maybe somewhere in the South.
And, oh, we was at the Ozone Awards.
This name of Poole came up to me.
He was so hot.
He said, I'm going to count every time
that you introduce yourself
as a K-boy from four-way games to crib.
I'm going to count it every time
I'm just going to give you a look.
I'm like, bro, I don't even be tripping.
He was like, oh, yes, you do.
I think about that,
the trip was over with.
I probably was like in the 30s.
How many times I told him was where I was from?
And guess what?
They didn't even care.
They don't even know.
They don't know what the fuck's going on.
What I'm talking about, because we're in a whole other state.
They really don't care.
And they're like, all right, cool.
But me at that time, being so young, I thought that's what we had to do.
I started to introduce myself.
And no, that's not the way.
And I think a lot of the things, too, that stop my nigga from getting the bag is being introduced a certain way.
So I get mad at people now.
Do not introduce me as that.
Introduce me as Kay Boy.
Either I'm doing some business stuff or this is your friend Kayboy.
that's real dope and rap.
Don't even let them know about the street.
So they're going to find that out anyway.
But don't just give it to him on the initial,
when you introduce yourself to somebody.
Don't.
The initial introduction, don't do that, bro,
because it make people go, yeah.
The home girl did they're like,
hey, this one of the realest niggas out here.
If you need some, he got it.
He wanted the famous crips.
And I'm just looking at her like, really?
This person just look.
That's what your ass was doing.
And you're like, fuck it, we just gonna keep on doing it.
And that's what Poole tell me.
He's like, that's the perception of you.
That's what you wanted when you was young.
Now you got it.
Now I don't want it no more.
It's over with, though.
Now you've got to live with it, but you can change it around.
You can just know.
Just change the narrative.
Yeah, you change the narrative a little bit.
You know what?
I always wanted to know what happened to this Blue Division shit.
You know what I'm saying?
And what happened to you and G.
Malone?
Because, you know, it was tight.
But it's almost like you niggas is the same motherfucker.
And, you know, I know how G.
I know how G is, I know how you is,
but what initially happened with the Blue Division thing?
It really wasn't nothing like that
if people think that everybody's mad.
So G didn't try to squabble with you?
No, he didn't try to squabble with you,
but we get mad each other on time.
I probably try to squabble with him.
Yeah.
I probably try to squabble with him.
Faye was asked for somewhere in this mix.
I know it, so let me know.
I probably try to squabble with him,
But that's just me being the little bro that just didn't give a fuck
and wanted to have my way.
When I didn't get my way, I threw a tempotential.
But me, this and my, look, man, I'm true to the soil.
I'm the only person that got Blue Division tatted on them.
You know what I mean?
It's on my own.
I got the vision tatted on them.
I'm the only one that really was, you know what I mean?
Putting it down, I got the vision tat on me.
I got the set tatted on me.
So, but when I got older, like I said, when I got a little older,
and after I got shot, I just felt like they started being new people.
And like I said, you started looking at people like, man, why are you bringing them over here?
Where they come from?
Why are they getting all attention?
So what I did was I just dissing myself.
I was talking like, look, bro, I just want to do my own thing.
He was like, for sure, do your own thing.
So by you doing your own thing, I start my own crew, start my own movement.
It was like, we own at that time.
Because you remember, me and boobie, so I always say we own, I'm on.
So I started some shit called We Own Music Group.
All my home were from high school that did music, we was power.
made it to the radio, and I felt like, dang, I should have been doing this.
But that's just me just thinking ignorant, thinking that he wasn't trying to help and all that.
But he was.
But at that time, nobody knew the business, like how they know the business now.
He was still learning himself, and he had to be the rapper himself.
But you're not knowing that, and I got outside people in my ear, like,
niggas, hey, you know you, man, it's mad because, you flired in there.
So I started talking to him crazy like that.
You're just mad because I'm fliering you, and nobody wants to see you.
They come to see me.
I felt like I was David Ruff.
Don't nobody want to see you, Otis.
So did niggins you feel like, you know what?
Damn, this nigga hating on G.
G.
He doing this cash money thing.
He doing this.
He's doing all of this.
But this nigga, K-boy is starting to hate.
Like, he got a little bit, you know, a little bit more juice.
I've never hated.
I'm got a hating bone of my body.
But being feeling some type of way?
Because I'm a Virgo.
I'm a little bit.
I'm an emotional thug.
Nigger.
Blame it on the sign, y'all.
But feeling some type of way?
Yeah, I felt some type of way
because I just felt like
I wasn't getting
or receiving the help that I thought I should
at the moment.
But when you go back and you look at it and you get older
and be like,
me he couldn't even help his self at that time.
So it's nothing.
I still talk to his crazy ass to that.
His brother is my manager.
So it ain't no love loss at all.
We still tight.
It's just, I think we had one of the biggest movements
and we talk about it all the time
that, damn, we could have been the biggest shit out here.
We could have been mentioned
with the top dogs and all that.
as far as a label and a crew, we could have, no, for real,
because we had it popping for it.
No, you had it popping for real.
You was out here, y'all was moving around, you feel what I'm doing, y'all thing.
You feel me?
Like, even take me back to your first, like, you know, a project,
which I was doing, like, to have all of that, you know, put together, you know what I'm saying?
Let me know about that.
Yeah, so the first project, I came in as a group.
A lot of people don't know that, but I was from this group called the Block Boys.
It was me and one of my closest friend, Ace.
I mean, shout out to him, man.
He's going through something right now, man, but free him.
So it was me and him.
And a lot of people think we was the greatest ballets.
Like, he was a dope balance from me.
Because, like I said, when I was young,
I wasn't thinking about I wanted to be the dopest rapper.
I wanted to live in the history books of hip hop and all that.
I was ignorant.
I wanted to be the biggest crick rapper.
That's where my mind frame was.
I was ignorant at the time.
I'm like, I want to be bigger to Snoke.
That's it.
I'm bigger to Snoke because everybody's going to fuck on me in the world.
but Ace was my balance.
He was different from the streets, but he didn't gang bang.
So when we did music together, it was a hell of a balance.
Because if not, you're going to get strictly crip-wrapped.
And people get tired of that at some point.
So when we started off, it was cool.
We was doing our day.
Then something happened to him personally where he had to go be a man
and go be a father, and he moved.
Once he moved, I was kind of like by myself.
So I had to fend for myself, and I put on my first mixtape by myself,
Jacket for Beach, 2009.
really got me cracking.
Julio G did it and DJ Ill Will.
Shout out to DJ Ill Will.
He was moving around that time.
He was cracking at that time.
He was cracking.
By me having Julio G at that time,
he was like, oh, you got a legendary DJ.
So once I did that, it was on.
There's some dope freestyles on there,
had some dope records,
and that's when everybody, like, really paid attention.
But before then, I had a burst on Gene Malone's electric chair,
and everybody said, oh, that's what,
DJ Ill will told me,
that's why I got on you from that verse.
So was those two mix-stakes that really got me cracking
and I started off in a group, but after that, that's how I had to go solo.
Had to fend for myself.
And ever since then, I was like, all right, ain't gonna look it back.
Being the, trying to be the biggest Crip Rapper, you know what I'm saying.
How was it running in the game back then?
Running into who?
Game.
Because game was doing this thing, you know what I'm saying?
It was, you know, the blood side over here, that you coming over here, like, I'm this
crap.
Like, how was it?
running in the game.
I didn't really understand being around bluds until I start dealing with
pooling G Malone.
Yeah.
Because G. Malone was dealing with a lot of blus and I didn't get there.
They got me around 17, 18.
So at that time of your life, you still, if you're a street dude and you're a game
brand, you still want to make a name for yourself.
You feel me?
And I'm the little brother of a beast.
So it's like, I want people to fuck with me and not fuck with me because of me,
not because who my brother is, not because who my big homie that I got with me.
that I call my brother to this day.
Like, not because who they are, but who I am.
So I was still trying to make my name.
So by them dealing with bloods, it threw me off.
Like, I'm not going over there with you, niggas.
I was still disrespecting.
Yeah, because I say that to say, when I seen that shit,
I was like, what the fuck?
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, damn, I've never seen that shit.
It wasn't normal.
Yeah, I never seen that shit.
Every day.
It wasn't normal.
It wasn't.
But this is how, when I ran in a guy running in the face first,
this is how I start having a respect
and just stop distressing.
respecting bloods in my lingo as a whole.
I ran in the face.
Glasses at the song called 200.
I got 100 Crips and 100 Power Rules.
I ain't scared of you motherfuckers.
We go to Club Blue.
What's that?
Westminster, we doing a show.
They don't tell me that it's a Power Rule Hood Day.
I'm sick.
They say it's a show, but it's actually their hood day.
Yeah.
So I'm really not noticing that it ain't too many
niggas that were the same color flag as me in here.
Yeah.
So when I'm on stage, they're rocking with us.
But I see two particular dudes throwing up CK.
But I'm thinking they're doing it to me, at me.
So I'll bounce off the stage.
Facey everything.
Big face.
Game brother.
He grabbed me, put me to the side.
And he really let me know, like, look, I get it.
I'm going to get on them for disrespecting.
But I want you to look around.
I'm glad I see you.
I've seen your whole energy.
Just look around.
So I'm looking around.
He was like,
bro, you wouldn't have made it out of here.
We do deal with y'all.
Like, glasses is a part of my company.
We deal with him.
Y'all wouldn't be here,
but people are in their element right now.
So I'm going to tell him the chill,
but this is our element right now.
So I had to take that,
and I had to learn.
At first, I wasn't care.
I was immature,
but once I understood what he meant,
that's like now, right?
I'd be out.
Everybody feel like I can just go anywhere.
Niggas giving me these titles,
the neighborer niggas.
called me their favorite gangster, and a lot of hummies be like,
how could you just sit on Crenshaw-Slauss and hear these disrespectful words?
But I'd be like, they don't do that.
They don't disrespect me.
Yeah, take me through that.
They don't do it at all.
They don't disrespect me at all, right?
So that's cool.
I love that they respect it.
But say they do, and Ma's supposed to get mad and squabble everybody in their hood
and they're in their environment?
That's their environment.
So this is how you do that.
You just don't go.
you be smart you just don't go
if you don't want to hear
or see these blood niggas do certain things that they do
all day 24-7
then why would you be over there?
Same thing. If I know the name was going to
disrespect and say a certain word, why would I be over there?
And vice versa. If you know
that you come to my section and we say disrespectful
for something, why would you be over there?
First of all, we are going to respect you because I'm somebody
from where I'm from. And if I bring somebody
to the neighborhood and I tell them who they are, they're going
respect it. But
homies, you know, it's hard to hold your tongue.
if that's all you know.
So all these slip-ups,
and then a nigga gonna get tired of saying,
my bad,
to a nigga day looking like,
what are you even doing over here anyway?
So I just started making my visits very short to certain areas.
But I got off subject, back to game.
This is a funny story.
So before I don't even meet game yet.
So I wish Ace was here.
A's like, bro, you burnt out.
So game used to boil at this thing called the Epic, right?
It's like close by U.S.
seeing all that.
So he goes
to the bathroom.
I got to go to the bathroom.
We're like in the stores next to each other.
So me just want to be tough
and want to just show my rap.
I'm lucky big.
I'm like, what's up, kid?
What's up with you?
He looked down like
but it kind of looked like
you just got to be like a setup
because ain't no little nigger
fun of just cause me in the bathroom.
But, you know, I ain't going to say
Chuck is
You know, that's my guy right now.
Everybody's seeing me with Chuck all the time.
But I know if he were remembering this, he's going to be like,
yeah, gateway burnt out.
Like, I go back to Poole what Poo say.
Here you go, got to introduce your son.
What's up?
Because I'm cable.
I'm four-eighth games of crap.
What's up with you?
Then I tell him, I'm from Blue Division, though.
I'm glasses artist.
So it's just like, I really just wanted to let you know.
Where I'm from anyway.
I just need to be.
No, I really wanted to let you know.
I really want to let you.
I'm rock with glasses.
Yeah.
And, you know what I'm trying to do a song with you.
I'm from Blue Division.
I am, but you see me a lot, but this is where I am, when I should have just did that.
Anyway.
Anyway, you feel me?
But that was funny.
I don't know if he'd see them like, man, this a little nigga burnt out.
But after that, I just started really just dealing with all the power rules, the counter
power rules.
And this is going back to when you ask, like, how gang banging is, like, the shit kind of, like,
it's fucked up.
And it's like, it's just weird because I go back and forth with who we talk about why
niggas should just leave it alone or try to get it.
give a dude some really some good insight on things because I had to go to the ozone where I was
talking about glasses like get there I'll get you back I couldn't ask nobody that I knew I couldn't
ask nobody with the same color as me the VNG sent me out there feel me I got some close friends
for VNG they had the money they sent me out there um how rules always show me love and
captain helping they got out with this music so that's when I was like this shit is like
what was we taught?
Like, what was the information
that I was getting?
Like, it's really not that bad.
These dudes really like, hey, we fuck with you.
You whore.
Why are you not there?
Oh, man, I ain't got to, I got the change.
Man, don't even trip.
We're going to see you.
And we don't want nothing back.
And they're not even never,
you ain't ever heard them stories.
They ain't even saying that.
I'm saying that.
Because I got to let them know
that I appreciate it.
I fuck with you.
You feel me so.
Let me take you back
because you said,
I'm going to take it back
to where you say you got shot up.
You know what I'm saying?
It was fucking with you was,
You know what I'm saying?
You was dealing with that.
But your brother also died.
You feel me?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Explain that, man, and what happened, you feel I'm saying?
I don't know what happened.
All I know is he died in the hood.
I don't know what happened.
I don't know what happened.
I know that day, though, it wasn't a good day for nobody.
I was actually going through it in the household with my girl,
always getting caught up doing some BS with a female.
So I was in my emotional state.
So I got a call that, you know, my brother always getting into it.
You know, but he listened to me, and he listened to my big brother that's outside.
Only two people that can really come him down.
I mean, I don't know what he was doing, what happened, but something happened, something transpired.
And at night, I got another call, like, you better get to the hood because your brother got hit.
So when I go, I felt some type of way where there wasn't nobody out there, but the homies actually was somewhere else.
dealing with another death.
So I'm thinking like, shit, I made it.
He's gonna make it.
He's way bigger than me.
And I got hit with a four-five.
So I'm like, and at that time, you knew me then.
I was frail at that time.
I was real skinny.
Went to the hospital and made it.
So, you know, I tell moms and all that,
that was a painful situation.
So you think that was, like, a nigga coming through?
I don't know what happened.
Probably.
Probably so.
I really can't speak on it.
Honestly, I can't.
I would love to, but I came.
Because I don't know, because he just always into something.
You feel me?
He was a crap, for real.
That was his life.
After that, how did you deal with that?
Did that even more with the rap shit?
You just gave up?
Like, you know what?
Man, fuck this shit.
You know what?
I never told nobody this, but everybody that's watching,
oh, here it is.
I was in a suicidal state.
It's my every day.
Everybody knows how I feel about my big brother.
It's my every day.
you feel me even when he go to the pen and all i still talk to him every day get on my nerves
and all that i feel like i was the little big brother because everybody called me when he
do some crazy stuff because i'm the only one i can come him down i'm the thinker i got to think for
both of us i'm both of the brains he's pinky i'm the fucking brain so um i was in a suicidal
state bro because i'm like this my left hand man what am i going to do without my brother
you feel me so it took a toll um i ain't even gonna lie i
I had resentment from the hood.
I stayed away for like a month.
Then in my head, I'm like, I'm going back.
Ain't nobody, man.
I'm from the set for real.
But it's still fucked up when I go over there
because I ain't the same.
Why you have resentment?
Do you feel like niggas knew something you didn't know?
Because it happened over there.
So I was mad because it happened.
And, you know, anybody, anybody you close to from your hood?
If it happened in the hood, you're mad.
Like, how did niggas let this happen?
Or how did it happen here?
You think most of the time,
they're going to happen.
If you know, you know that you're doing some weird shit
or you outside and nobody got no blower
because that happens nine times out of ten,
everybody outside.
Everybody hitting up the cars and nobody got no pistol.
But, you know what I mean?
I was just mad.
I'm mad.
My brother did.
I'm mad at everybody.
Nigger myself.
I feel like I could have stopped him.
He should have stayed at home with me.
That's why I was suicidal.
I'm mad at that.
Mad at my hood.
Mad at it.
nigga, his pops, which is my step pops, he passed away.
Two weeks later, we had a double funeral.
Mad at him because he was supposed to send my brother somewhere.
I was just mad at everybody.
You know what I mean?
I was mad at my girl, and I'm the one who got caught cheating.
I'm mad at her for being mad at me.
You feel me?
So I was just mad at everybody, bro.
Doing those suicidal thoughts, like, what kind of, like, thoughts were you having, you know,
as far as, like, hurting yourself?
Yeah, you know, you just start thinking that everything.
I just start blaming myself.
I think that's where, you know, I'm glad we're speaking about this because mental health
is for real.
Like, check on your people's.
Like, a phone call is easy.
You feel me?
When I said, I'm going back and forth so they can really get the picture because I got a whole
story, but, like, when I just talked about my homie Ace, I was in the group with, he's going
through mental health.
Before he went in, he lost his mind.
So that's why I tell everybody say a prayer for him.
But I blame myself because, you know, you just wave stuff off.
I should have talked to him more.
You feel me?
He was probably going through something,
but I wasn't trying to hear it
because you always be,
I don't know how many crazy,
man, I don't got a time for that
when they was really trying to tell you something.
So I was going through that
where nobody wanted to hear me.
It's cool.
They think I'm just being a weirdo,
and I'm just like, fuck it.
Maybe I'm better off with my brother.
So, you know what I mean?
But I got kids.
So when I thought about that,
I feel like suicide is the most selfish act ever.
when I started thinking about it like, damn.
So I'm going to knock myself down.
My kid's not going to have a father
because I took my own life
because I was just in some crazy-ass emotional state.
So, you know, I got my shit together.
I bounce back.
You know what I mean?
Start going back to the set.
Talking to my big bra side.
Just started trying to just figure out things
about just light period.
Like, what I'm going to do now?
Like, productive.
I'm going to do now productive.
how can I really change shit
or how can we change shit for shit like that
to not happen again
so often
But did the set help you cope
Because you know some niggas
I ain't gonna like game making
Don't know how to help you cope with shit
Like they can't cope with stuff they self
What are we going back to the set to actually do
Get a breath of fresh air nigga or
Like where does it bring you back to
So where to where you like you know what
I ain't going
This is where he at
Yeah
Some of my brother at
every day. Like I told you, that's him. That's his life.
You know what? A couple of his last messages is like, he told me that.
I'm a dying of shit. It happened.
Oh, you call, nigger. Last messages. I still got him.
I'm a dying of shit. And it happened. So, I feel like, you know, so spiritual shit,
this is where he at. Nick, if it's a spiritual world and the spirit is around,
that niggas on the block right now. So that's where I'm going to go. And I got niggas that
love me over there that really, really do
Jimmy Love me. And that's one that's all right
right now. So I went back for stuff
like that and
I think cuz too because
he know that he can't replace
my brother in the sense of being
blood, but
yeah, he picked it up.
You know what I mean? That's my nigga, so
wherever I go, he go. And I feel like
my brother with him too. So you feel me?
But I got back, Cracker. I didn't want to rap no more
though. Yeah, because I was about to say
How did what, you know what, you know what, you know what, you know what, you know what, you know what I'm saying?
G.
Because I, very recently, I just seen you being K-boy again.
You know what I'm saying?
To me, I ain't going to lie.
Like, I don't talk to you every day.
We don't text every day and all the whole little shit.
But when I see K-boy on my timeline, when I see you, you know, on the Instagram or whatever the case may be, it's refreshing.
So I see my nigger.
I'm like, my nigger.
at it. He doing this thing. He's doing
what I've, you know what I'm saying. I know
him to do. He'd be moving around.
Let niggas know what's up. Who
he is. He always got something going.
He's always around, motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying? So,
what gave you that motivation to just
get back out there and start being you again?
Man, I ain't going to lie.
Them two niggas that's outside
right now.
Who start believing? So everybody knows
managed by Jazzy D.
Right?
Jazzy just wasn't feeling the industry.
no more. So he's like, man, I'm going to do more like, what's the word I'm looking for,
administration to artists who like, you know what? I'm not dealing with my brother on that
manager stuff no more. I always believed it in you anyway. Cool, I'm going to rock with you.
But me and Poo end up being the same person. We should have been rocking. He shouldn't even
been managing this, bro. He should have been managing me from the start. Because us two together,
it's crazy. And in my big bro, CD out there, he always gives me tough love. He always gives me tough
Like, nigga, you was whack.
Like, nigga, you was whack, bro.
You didn't brought every big rapper to the hood,
Nicky, all that thing.
And problem, all these nigginsie.
And you are whack, bro.
You brought all these big niggins to the set.
You're not doing nothing.
I was even over there.
Yeah, no, for sure.
You, Tiger, all that shit went on that.
All that time.
I was in you.
Brother.
Yeah.
I remember that.
I'm like, nigga, I'm crazy as a motherfucker, bro.
But, you know what I'm saying?
He was holding it down for show.
I know shit like that because I know he mean well,
but he'd be like, nah, I be on you because you're supposed to have been flourished, bro.
He told me, he told me, what he tells me?
Some type of crazy analogy, but it's like, it's for real.
You know, most talented people, when you talented, you feel like you're just talented, right?
He'd be like, bro, you just think you could just go out, go on the court
and just score 50 points fast because you're talented.
Like, you ain't got to do no work.
You ain't got to go to practice or none of that.
So he'd be on my head.
So when I really start getting that, them talks from them, I'm like, all right, let me go.
Because then I like proving niggas wrong, too.
So that's just the motivation to do it.
And then my homeboy came, my nigga Rerey, that signed Cannon for real for real.
Yeah.
The FC, I was dealing with them for a minute.
He the one who really was like, bro, I knew you was hard.
Because he grew up with my cousins that's labeled a niggas.
So when he was like, bro, they said you was dope, but I know you just hard.
He kind of, like, influenced me to do it back.
He was like, man, I put a couple of dollars in your pocket.
let's get the cracking.
So once I did that,
and I was like, okay, people still receiving me like,
oh yeah, K-boy back, like how you said?
I started doing it again.
Start doing it and doing it.
And I'm like, all right, okay, I'm back.
And then, you know, just my brother, one of my biggest fans.
He's like, I know he turned over his grave
if I say I quit music.
So I was like, you know, I'm going to do this for him.
And then losing my granny, she was a big supporter too.
So I got to do it for them.
I have to.
I know that shit sounds cliche,
or people want to do it for their dead folks,
But when you know that them people were big supporters of what you're doing,
what you're trying to accomplish,
you got to do it because just giving up,
it's just like it's pointless.
Give me a story of Kendra coming to the set.
Because you really was bringing everybody over there.
Why was we over there?
I have no fucking idea,
but we was over there with K-boy because Cubs said come to,
and that's what we was doing.
Nah, when y'all came, I think y'all came, like, a couple of times.
But the main time y'all came, Tiger was shooting that video.
What was the video?
He was going to everybody section.
Yeah, he was.
I forgot the name with that song.
And we hit you.
We were like, yeah, we're going to go over there.
Well, I hit you.
I'm like, oh, we're going to go to the K-boy shit, nigga.
I know we can go over there, blah, blah, blah.
I don't remember the name of it, but I know one of the scenes he was on the roof somewhere, right?
So when he came, he came to my liquor store in 48th Central at Webb's liquor store.
So that was cool.
We came over there.
I think Doc came with J. Rock before.
just, I would just, at that time,
you wanted to be big
and letting people know you really
from where you're from.
And you could come over there
and ain't nobody gonna trip because I'm me.
I was doing it like that.
Brought Nip over there.
Bullets ain't got on names Volume 1.
But everybody knew Nip was my nigga anyway.
That was my friend.
But still, you know,
niggas, you still in the atmosphere
of gang members and gang bangers.
But it was cool, though.
You're right.
I was bringing everybody to this set.
And Mott's hood is really monumental.
Like, people don't even know that.
So that's what I'd be like to break it down in interviews, too.
Like, I'm really from the low-bottom east side of the section where black people came first when they came to Los Angeles.
Black people was there first on Central Avenue.
Before there was Lamert Park in the Kernshall district and Watts was popping.
There was a low-bottom east side right there on Central Avenue.
We had the first Black Panthers on 41st and Central.
Yeah, I mean, we still got the Dunbar Hotel.
Now it's the Dunbar Apartments.
They changed the name a little bit, but everything is still right there.
Billy Holiday and all these.
type of people played right there.
Who lied and told you that shit?
Nah, I do my research, man.
That thinking like, no, I'll give my sense of history, bitch.
You ain't going to do it up.
You got to know where you're from and what you represent.
It ain't just all gangbanging over there.
That's like a real, real powerful piece of, like, history for black people, period.
And if you don't believe me, go on YouTube, watch 41st Central.
It's going to break everything down about the Black Panthers being right there
41st and Central.
With Nip being your nigger
and all of this shit
happening to him,
well, the shit that happened to him.
Like, how did you deal with that shit?
Because
Nick wasn't my nigga
or none of that shit.
I ran between him a few times.
I fucked with him.
Real genuine nigga.
Yeah, just real cool,
real genuine nigga.
But that shit hurt my heart.
It fucked with me bad.
Because I was like,
if this nigger,
can get hit in his own section
doing this shit for his community
opening stores
all the shit you know what I'm saying
I don't know what I don't know what the whole
what it would entail to the nigger what happened
to the nigger whatever he said whatever
to the nigger I don't know but
me I feel like
shit being who you is you get the same
shit like that you know what I'm saying you doing a lot
like you has a lot of respect
and you should have like you should have that much
respect not to do cut like that but that shit really hurt me even though i know he is for where he
from like so how did that shit make you feel good that shit fuck that nigga up first because he's my
friend right and then like how you said damn this nigga actually died where he really started
gang banging that he really sold socks and t-shirts and his mixtape at where he said i'm
own this motherfucker and really
owned it before his demise
it fucked me up
to lose your life right there like that
I mean the cold blood
and like how you said he was another
nigga that everybody even though he was
from 6-0 everybody respected
love nip and you
seen that when he did
die they went through y'all shit
6-0 hanging out in all life
niggas one or two niggas could have did what they did but
everybody respected that man that was in that
coffin so they allowed him to go through everybody
section and they gave it up for him because he was just a genuine dude man he was different he
was about his people and then there wasn't just the crinshaw edition it wasn't just the six he was about
us he was about his people for real and he's the conversation me and him used to have and we was
like that we both from the part of the city where we got a lot of black history so yeah we're gonna
rep what we're from cool that's what I'm telling people about music um it's not glorifying it
we just let you know what's happening over here we just reporters from
section and we let you know what's happening we're gonna let you know the good times the bad times
what's dope about it what's not dope about it while we love it and hate it at the same time it's a
love and hate relationship with the section you know that you love your section but you be like man
niggas be on some bullshit because everybody not doing what we doing you feel me and they don't
understand what we're doing but yeah it hurt a nigger heart bro because it's like damn he really
could have put that story anywhere else bell rose rodeo where everything out where we're
at the Fairfax, this, wherever all the shit is that.
But he was like, no, I'm put it right here.
I asked him that, too, like, why you put it right here?
And I'm confused.
You put that right here?
Yeah, because I'm never going.
I love you to death, though, but I told a nigga I'm not going over there and go,
boys, I don't give a fuck, what's going on?
But you know what's so crazy how you say that?
And he was like me where if you would have came,
yeah, it'd have been straight.
You'd have been super straight.
And, man, it's a lot of stories that I want to, you know,
I can't give him.
everything, but since you never went over there, people don't understand that I'm the reason
why Nipsey and Joe Moses, I mean, know each other. It's a story. I just said this on a documentary.
Like, Nipsey got a documentary that Black Sam was doing, and they called me in, and I did the part,
and I told them about the story how I went, did the protocol thing that I always do, went to Crenshaw
Sloss, saw. I'm like, hey, hey, draws, is it cool as I take Nip? Because, man, Joe Moses from
VN want to do a record with him,
but I can't just take bro over there
because I know y'all, you know what y'all got going on?
He's like, no, that's cool
because he'd fuck with Joe Moses' daddy
when he was alive.
So he's like, oh, no, that's cool.
So me and Nip go, me and Nip sitting outside,
he's like, good.
You sure are they straight?
I'm like, bro, they're good.
Me, I'm telling them.
Like, everybody be taking their disrespect.
I'm like, man, it's cool.
You're a human.
Like, if you're a fan of a nigga, you're a fan of a nigga.
You're a fan of a nigga.
They're really fuck with you.
I said, and at the end of the day, man,
this crib. If they trip on you, they trip on me.
We're going to get beat up together, but I'm like, that's not the case.
We go into where Joey had a studio at is Joe Moses, Mills, everybody.
Before 80, he was even a part of A-O-B, you know what I mean?
It's nothing but Da-Mood's in there. I think Tiny Rock was in there. Everybody was in there.
Cors was in there.
Chasso was alive at the time. I was Joe Moses' main producer.
Rest his song. That's a gang of Don Moos.
Nip going there and do the most extra diverse that you could think.
of. It was the one with the
with the two
braids out of my neck, a Seattle hat
to go on my chain neck fat.
It's like, well, I ref'd that.
I'm looking like, oh, we're about to get
chunks. That shit banged,
oh.
Yeah. Yeah.
He'd come off the both. It's like the awkward silence where you can hear
a pin drop. And then they go,
oh, bloods, that shit was hard.
Would you? And give him a mess,
and everything. He's shaking his hand. I'm looking at him.
I'm like, yeah, I told you, man.
miggas fuck with you boom we laugh all the way back to a section and all that
ever since then them niggas been straight yeah i mean just off the respect with me uh
it was in like a little situation these all nips these things since we on nip
me j malone j rock we on our east side shit we just in hollywood just wants me aside shit
i don't even know what we doing i just think we just hollywood hopper club to club nip there this
is the time this is the time where j rock had that uh i did crib nigger jay rock did blood nigger to the hood
nigga be but jorcks are blowing up more than mine i don't know why the blus was cracking more than i was
he said he had numbers so we're going nip is doing something at that time but it's cracking where he
at i see nip 80 at the door little ad at the door from six oh he at the door so i just think at
that particular time bro i know nip not here to defend himself so i'm talking for him i think at that
particular time he just didn't know how to tell j rock like hey you good but this is
It's a crypt function.
It ain't just the 60s in here.
It's like a whole neighborhood function in there.
I don't know what day it was, but they was in Hollywood, and they was deep.
When we looked in there, but you know me, I'm like, it's cracking in there.
And they're like, yeah, come on, Jim Blown.
But he didn't, you know, it was kind of like the awkward, like, y'all good.
But could can't really come in here like that.
So J-Rock fell some type of way.
And he had vouched for this because me and J-Roc still could have.
I know he had vows for this story.
J-Roc was not feeling nip.
at that time.
I'm like, nah, bro, it's cool.
Q wanted to do a record with him.
Jay Rock wasn't feeling that.
Like, nah, it's TD.
We're not doing none of that.
So I'm like, bro, I'm going to earn it out.
Jayrock go to New York.
Nip go to New York.
Boom, I call Nip.
Like, nigga I'm out here.
I say, cool.
J. Rock out there, too.
I need to really chop it up, bro,
because it's really a misunderstanding, man.
Before you know it, Nip, like,
I didn't already talk to him.
I'm like, oh, it's good.
Jayrock hit me.
They kind of say before you know it,
Nip is doing his verse
of all my life.
The song that J-Roy had with a little wing.
So they're doing it.
They do their stuff.
And that's why I go back to Q
and all that is right.
Q really wanted to do something.
They didn't get to do it.
But I'm the reason why Nip showed up.
I surprised him,
a par 101-6,
and tapped him on his back.
And they shook hands.
People don't know that's big for the city.
If the record would have got done,
it would have been huge.
I mean, yeah, it was,
it was just all about
being comfortable
and we didn't know like we didn't know like you said
like that shit wasn't normal like
nah like because I remember that record
tag I had with YG and Nipsey
and YG was in the set
you know what I'm saying? Everybody was going crazy
even YG like older homies like
damn bro I would have never been over here
nigga I was like yeah straight
you feel me all my homies are whatever the case
maybe but he was like you know
can Nip come and I was like
hell no
Oh, nigger, that nigga, I don't think niggas is ready for that right now.
I don't give a fuck, you feel me?
But I can't control all these niggas.
Yeah, ain't nobody bigger than the program.
Yeah, like, so I'm like, hell no, you feel me?
But I seen that nigger, you feel me, I seen him again.
Tiger wanted to go to his show.
He wanted to bring him out or whatever, case may be.
And I'm like, bro, like, I'm going to go with you, but I ain't got all my homies with me.
He's like, no, that's going to be good.
You know, it's some shit after Roski.
I'm like, well, maybe cut a rapper, you know.
It's all good.
He ain't going to have everybody there.
You know what I'm saying?
He's on this.
And shit.
I walk in the back door.
I walked in that motherfucker like.
He was like, you straight, cud.
I'm going to tell you right now.
He brings me in the dressing room.
I'm like, this is the homie.
You know what I'm saying?
He's from moving, blah, blah, blah.
The niggas, everybody looked at being like,
and he just walked out that motherfucker.
I was like, nigger.
But they all walked out when it was time for him to go.
And he was like, they was all like, yeah,
he's straight, cah.
In here, you good, you straight.
Yeah, they fucked with it.
I'm like, oh, yeah, this is crazy.
That's how we met.
It's a club called the mixed nuts.
First of all, me and him shouldn't have been at the mixed nuts anyway.
First of all, you shouldn't even been at that motherfucker.
That is crazy.
It's on 10th in Washington.
That is wild.
Yeah.
We rapping for a showcase, whatever we was doing.
We shouldn't have been there right there anyway.
But we did it, boom.
Introduce ourselves.
He wasn't an Fancy.
Thundercat.
What's up?
Yeah.
Thundercat.
K-boy, four-again-s, boom, whoa, whoa, whoa, cool.
The next introduction, this is where we got, real tight.
I'm at the VIP music on Slawson and Crenshaw,
because I'm just feeling like everybody know me.
Forget just knowing him.
I know some killers over here already.
I didn't went to school with him and all that, so I'm over there,
but I'm talking to Marlon, which is Coords, dope producer.
He was working there at the time.
I look up, I don't see Nip yet.
I see a gang.
He was walking by.
Marlon, I go, ooh, K-Bore, you good, bro.
want to go to the back, us being men, testosterone,
and don't want to look like no bits.
I'm gonna stand down.
I'm like, no, I'm straight.
He doubled back, boom, then I see tall, I see the braid hair.
His hair was never combed back then like that.
Yeah.
Wow, look back, boom.
He look at me, he come in, he's like, I know you, huh, bro.
But before he can finish it, everybody's like, what's up?
Where you from?
What's up, man, where you from?
I'm like, ooh, I tell him.
We're already here now.
I tell him all from he go
six songs
bro straight
you was a
you was rapping at the shit too with me
I'm like yeah bro he's like bro
yeah he like
but still like what's you doing
still right here I'm like bro I came to chop it up
with Marlin moreland on two he's like okay
it makes sense doing music
now he's straight everybody started introducing me
their names and all that that's cool I forgot who the
fuck they was because it was too many of them
after that
he like man
come to the shop
that's where because you know they've been had
that over it. It was sloths and teas. I was looking like, huh? I'm already bad enough from over here
where the robinson's at. You're going to go over there by club shells?
Right. But I end up going. It was all love. End up really being cool with fats and all
them. Jay Stone was ending out. A jail at that time with Jay Stone. And then like his crew
really started being cool outside of people already knew because I had cousins from over there.
And then it would just be became cool. And it just like, oh, that's Kayboy.
I'll cut off a game
but he's straight from these are guys
he's good
so he came like that
but it was all off
the love of Nip
yeah
they respected them
because if they didn't
I would have got beat up in there
you know
him being from L.A
like I said
it hurt me
but I'm gonna give you another one
niggas from
nigga not from L.A
you know what I'm saying
and this is just recent
yeah
it bothered me
nigga PNB
rock
you know I'm saying
getting killed
at Rosco
it bothered me
I'm like
and I'm like
damn
when did this shit
when this shit going on
and that's when I felt like
that day I was like
oh this shit got to end
this shit week
I'm glad you talked about it
because we definitely wanted you to ask me
about anything about how
it can end how we can help it
and all that so
everybody hate this
check in shit right
I say check in
call in tap in
it's in the same category
whichever term you want to use
it's still the same thing
it's important that you do that.
I do that.
When I go to Atlanta,
I call my name.
Hey, bro, I'm here.
Where are y'all at?
When I go to New York,
I don't call the rappers from New York.
I call the Crips that are from New York.
Hey, look, I'm going to come in.
I'm going to go deal with Dave East and all them,
but I'm staying over here.
What's up?
I go to Houston or anybody I know.
I tap in anywhere I go because everybody politics is different.
And they love us,
but they also don't like us
because we think we run everything everywhere,
when it comes to the gang culture.
So what I did find out is he felt comfortable
because that wasn't his first time.
He didn't been there 20, 30 times already.
So he's comfortable with going over there.
I still feel like he probably didn't let nobody know
that he was going over there
because he felt like it's cool.
I've been here this many times.
Ain't nobody did nothing.
I probably know people.
And something happened.
But you just never know what people be getting into behind the scenes
because then they're trying to bring out
all these clips of him,
getting into with different individuals, which I don't know nothing about.
But as far as that, he should have had somebody there, though, with him.
Especially when you bring your girl and your kids involved, even though his kids
went there, but when you're grilling your kid, that's the number of wrong rule.
It's they safety first.
I don't care if I'm good in a certain hood or a concert.
Who don't even like for us to bring our women around unless we know it's a controlled environment, right?
So because guess what we got to do
I can't be Eastside K-boy
The rapper I gotta be K-boy
The nigger
I mean who is protecting his woman
And I got to make sure that she's okay
And whoever she brung
So now I end up turning into the personal body yard
But that's what I'm saying
Like this is where I'm saying
This shit gotta stop
Not just for gangbangers
Just for this period
Just black niggas in general
Like what the fuck are you niggas
Doing what do you want
You want my chain
You're bad because I got
gotta fly fit on like you hate no i yeah you're like that's cool like you can have some type of jealousy
some type of envy but you want to kill me like you niggas this shit is getting out of hand like i
know the south central even you know everybody every good is bad but we killing each other like off
crazy like the police ain't got to kill one or two niggas you feel right here bro some mentality
yeah like niggas niggas is tough self-hate that's why i said in the beginning
We only do it, we taught.
Nigger, if your mama taught you how to put on your shoe
right shoe first, you're going to do that
for the rest of your life, because that's how you was taught.
If you have to put on your sweats and we teach
our kids, you got kids, I got kids. If I told
hey, put your right foot in your sweats
first, that's how you put on your pants, they're going to do that.
So the new cableway coming, and the
image is changing. Is the mess
is changing? Are you telling niggas that shit?
No, man, shit like this is the biggest thing that you can do
because they tell me this all the time, man. I'm getting
better with it. I've got to learn.
They're like, bro, you're a shallow rapper, but you're a deep individual.
So the conversation that we have in, people are going to be surprised that.
I'm probably talking like this and I'm giving up so much information and all that.
They're probably like, damn.
Yeah, I'm not ignorant.
I'm not dumb.
And alone shot, you feel me?
But at the end of the day, I still did dumb shit and I made dumb decisions before.
So I feel like life is a learning experience and you, nigg, experience is the biggest thing ever.
I got shot, right?
So you want to talk to me about it.
You know what I mean?
I don't put that nobody.
Somebody else got shot.
You shouldn't talk to a man that just is great at doing lectures and talk to them.
You want to talk to me because I've been shot.
I'm going to give you this game and this experience that I went through.
Hey, man, this is how you can probably go out to heal.
These are the medicines they're going to give you.
This is what you need to do, all that.
So experience is like something that you can't teach.
You have to go through something.
So, yeah, the new K-boy is telling everybody like, yeah, bro, that shit is weak.
This is stupid.
You know what I mean?
And it's sad, though.
I'll tell a nigga, see safe.
Stay prayed up, and I love you all in one sentence.
Because it's crazy like that.
You got to do all of them.
And watch your ass.
That's the new saying.
Now, explain the new caveway to me, you know what I'm saying?
You from the east side.
Young nigger, fired up, side of star rapping.
Shit happened to you.
Get shot.
Brother got killed.
Still cripping.
This crib.
You know what I'm saying?
Depressed, suicidal thoughts.
All the shit bring you down.
You pick yourself back up.
You know what I'm saying?
But explain a new K-boy and what you're doing now, you feel what I'm
like to let this motherfucking industry know you come in like in the real way.
What I've been doing lately is I got this whole situation with Shockware.
So the new K-boy is more business-oriented and learning that everything don't need a reaction.
Like, you know, it's the Internet world.
Just because somebody say something on the internet, I only got to go back at them.
I ain't got to prove nothing or anything.
So they can say fuck, hey boy right now, you ain't.
I'm going to laugh.
I might put the laughing mode.
I mean, no, because the internet, they might say fuck, hey boy, but then if they don't press
that button, they start pressing other buttons and they try to get to shit that really
hurt you.
So how do you, like, how do you react to that as a new gay boy?
Because you can't, you really can't react to the internet.
really can't.
And I don't take the internet lightly.
Like a lot of people say, man, it's just the internet.
It's just for fun of the game.
Now it's real.
We watch niggas die on the internet.
We watch niggas die on live.
Watch niggas get shot on the internet.
A lot of internet things are driven to niggas getting killed.
Right.
But guess what?
That's everybody responding to everything.
If you're talking to me right now and you ask some questions,
I don't say nothing, this ain't no interview.
You're just talking.
Yeah.
It ain't no interview.
And it's not going to get put up.
Because it's like, what the fuck did you even come for if you ain't going to say nothing?
So everything don't need a response and a reaction.
And that's cool.
That's that K-boy.
That's learning that.
Because sometimes I get fired up and I still be wanted because I'm human.
But like I said, on the business aspect and rap, yeah, something rapping.
But the message do got to change.
I'm still going to give you harsh reality because I'm still in the ghetto.
I still see a lot of things that's happening.
So I'm still going to report that in the type of music I do.
I'm not glorifying.
I'm just reporting what's going to.
going on. I'm not saying that I'm necessarily doing it at this moment, but I'm seeing that
happen at this moment. So I'm learning how to articulate that better. And like I said,
I'm learning how to be more in-depth musically instead of just being this type of person. When you
see me and had this conversation, we had this dialogue, then it's like, damn, bro, you really think
like that. But damn, when I heard this record, you made me think that you was out here,
nigger knocking all your eyes down. It's not like that. I'm just telling you from experience
of what's been going on. So the business, K-boy, which I got back to the
Shaka where they believe in this black man. I went to Shaka bro for a billboard and t-shirts.
That's what I went for. That end up turning into me being the creative director for Shakaware.
That means anything urban or creativity I have input in and urban goes through me.
You cannot have a meet with these owners without coming through K-boy.
And even when we sit down at the round table, they always say, we're going to talk to K-boy and we'll get back to you.
That makes me feel great.
They trust me.
They trust my opinion.
They trust my thought process and everything.
We got a lot going on over there.
So it was just a warehouse.
I came over there.
I had a vision.
My vision is being put it to fruition right now at Shaka.
So I'm about to do a podcast over there.
We about to have a basketball court.
I got the white wall where I started some new platform for rappers.
So if y'all need another platform to come on,
it's called the Shaka style,
where you come up, you do your freestyle
like everybody else do,
push your single that you push it right now,
I get you on the show, you know what I mean?
So I started that.
They built me an office over there, bro.
What are you doing,
what are you doing as far as music right now?
In music.
Let me stop you,
because I've seen you on,
niggas bringing you out on a couple,
you know what I'm saying,
stages, doing your thing,
crib walking,
you know what I'm saying?
I still got my walks.
I'm like,
my nigga,
walking on stage again.
This is a happy time out here.
I feel about my walks, but musically,
I'm in a good space, man.
I got three offers right now.
I probably had like one and a half when I was young.
I got three offers right now, and there's not no little boy offers,
but we still got to make the right decision.
So, you know, I mean, you know, me and poop
and going back in front with some good people, man,
to see how we're going to put this music out.
But I really just been doing a lot of music, bro.
To just, um, so when I'm ready to let this motherfucker come out, people are going to be,
they're going to be like, damn.
And they're going to love it too, bro.
Like at the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end, I'm a little older now.
But I still, I still mess with these young dudes.
And they fuck with me.
So that's cool.
So I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to keep this balance.
Yeah, because do you keep your image like a little younger?
Like, you know, because like YG, like YG changing with the times as far as his image.
Like, my nigga fly.
Feel me?
Little crop on, you know what I'm saying?
Like, would you ever go that far doing that as far as you're in it?
I'm not doing that.
Why not?
Why not?
Cutt get your shit together.
We'll see what it do.
No, no.
But look, I'm going to wear a drop shoulder t-shirt.
Get your fashion cracking.
Yeah.
Look.
The shoe game is Louis, yeah.
You feel me?
The shoes is Louis.
You feel me?
Yeah.
And I'm just representing the brand that that's helping me be an extraordinary black
business, man.
So everything I got on in shock and, you feel like,
from the T-shirt, you thought these were Levi.
These shock of jeans, crazy.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They come in with some quality shit, too.
I ain't going to lie.
They got the shit.
They got the shit.
They got great quality, though, bro.
But musically, um, you're going to be excited when I drop, and y'all going to be like,
oh, we need this.
Because I feel like it's a space that's missing, especially in L.A.
I know people want to have fun.
You know what I mean?
People want to dance and all that shit, but everything ain't fun.
Life is not fun.
So what space you think you're going to fit in?
I feel like I could spin in a face, well, fit in the space rather that I can have a balance.
Like I was just saying this on my live the other day, right?
I'm a positive person, but you need to start your core, right?
You need a battery.
You got to put it on the positive and a negative.
Without that, the car is not going to start.
So same thing with life.
You got to have some balance.
What artists out here right now you think got that balance?
Out here?
Yeah, that's just, you know, like, you know, the West Coast is.
as far as these new artists, don't.
Yeah, I can't say the homies.
I can't say the homies because they're like, dotting them is just,
he's on the whole of the world.
Yeah, it's over with.
So right now, the niggas that's coming out right now, the new artist.
Oh.
I'm always giving niggins a flowers because that type of a nigga I am.
I ain't nobody.
I never gave me my flowers.
I shouldn't say nobody name on this damn interview.
If it was up the pool, he'd be like, he'd probably outside like this right now.
Don't say nobody.
I mean, but no, you just said, Kaelin, for real, for real?
He's doing his thing.
Not, Kalin, that's a little bro.
He's doing this thing.
He's doing this thing.
I really like Blass, bro.
Blass album is ridiculous.
We've been on Blass forever since he's been a young thing.
You feel me?
I told him, Blass, is it cool?
I'm still a little bro you?
Can I little bro you?
Yeah, you're doing your thing.
You got big man, big man, big man bank accounts.
So can I little bro?
He started laughing.
I was in the studio another other day.
But I really like what Blass is doing.
Zo, on some east side.
Zoh, someone, you know, for the east side.
I got a push it for the east side.
I had a cut in here doing this thing.
Yeah, we were chopping it down.
He got a turtuck.
Man, I got two homies from my section that's about the pop.
You know what I mean?
Tiny Gotti and Lil Let Loz.
So, man, look out for them.
I got two little homies from my section that's going to get cracking.
Cud name is Little Let Loose.
Yeah.
We fuck with you Little Let Loose, cut.
I'm laughing, buddy.
Yeah, that's turked up, homie.
But you know who I want to work with, though.
Yeah.
Everybody think I know him.
I said this is another interview.
So, bro, you reach out because I know everybody around you.
I know niggas from your hood and all that.
I want to fuck with Beano.
I think Beano hard.
Beano's hard.
How do you not come in contact with this nigga?
Man, I don't know.
He must be moving the way I need to move because it looked like he reachable, but it ain't.
Because I don't know the niggins.
I'm surprised.
I know he got a note of me, bro.
It's like, if you're from that.
I reached out.
I'm like, man, come up here.
I want to fuck with you.
You know, I'm like, what you doing?
You know, good my good people.
He answered like, shit.
I'm chilling.
And then I was like, I'm going to come with me and interview me.
And he just like, shame on.
you just stop answering.
No, but everybody saying,
I know a lot of niggas around him,
so I think going back to the question
where it's a balance
because he's doing his melodic thing,
but we know where he's from too,
and he's still keeping it,
you know what I mean,
gangster for his culture
and for his section.
So, but, man, look at his shows, man.
Sold out.
You feel me?
And on the, on the Hispanic side,
because they're cracking right now.
Like, the Spanish cracking.
I think I'm going to start doing, like,
EPs with the,
them like I ain't even going to lie to you bro
these niggas crack it in their own space
pop up what's the money sign sway
he hard, swiftie blue he crazy
that's my nigga though everybody didn't like his interview
but I said bro he was telling the truth
he ain't saying he can fuck with niggas yeah he just
said what I need to get signed of them for
you know what I mean so you agree with that
so you agree with my nigga coming on here
and saying I don't want to sign with blacks
man I don't have no problem with it
because guess what he probably like look
we got the labels too
We got independent labels
No, I'm gonna just really tell you
You niggas the truth
You black niggas
You niggas don't know what the fuck y'all doing
Half of the time, you know what I'm saying?
We probably like fuck that
Yeah, like, nigga, what the fuck
I ain't fucking with you, niggas man
Guess what though? Guess what they do have that
We always be lacking structure
Yeah
And niggas know that
And I ain't even meant to the pen
But my homie's telling me, brother
You should tell me all the time
They got structure
You got to the county
You can see it right there
Like what the fuck
Structure, right?
Yeah
So even with this, you could tell they move with structure.
Like, look at all these people.
Look, man, they were selling out by their self.
We don't really do that because guess what?
When you go to a blast concert, it ain't 80% nigger anyway.
Tiger, it ain't 80% nigga.
Kendrick, it ain't 80% nigga.
So what are we doing wrong?
So that's what I'm trying to learn as an artist too.
What am I doing wrong not to let them join my world?
Because right now I just got the ghetto.
You feel?
And that's good, too, because I love my heart.
people. But at the end of the day, we want everybody to come in, you know what I mean, to get
some of this East Side K boy. I want my shows to be like that too. Me fucking with Tiger.
When you don't see me fucking with her, what's the first thing that come to your mind?
Realistically, since you're my boy, that y'all don't fuck around. That is tension. That is the
problem. Who you think started it? I ain't going to lie. I think you did, girl.
Y'all niggins is crazy, bro.
Like, what?
But you were the most genuine ones niggas I know, genuine people that I know.
Come on.
You cool as a motherfuckings fan.
I told you changed the whole dynamic of the energy when you came in.
Me and all my folks, we're talking about serial killing movies that we were watching.
Jeffrey Dahmer and stuff.
You came in and had everybody cracking up.
So your energy is great.
I love it.
People don't know T. Realman, he's one of the dopest people in the world.
But, yeah, nigger, you probably was like, Nick, what's that with you?
groove, you ain't trying to lean.
You're standing with you.
You get out of the perception of us, man.
We cool, man.
That's crazy because that be the perception of me,
and I'd be like, I'm the coolest nigga in the room.
You see how I changed that up, though?
I'm sober.
So when I'm in the club, everybody thinks I'm tripping because I'm sober,
because I ain't everybody, everybody, oh,
popping shit and I, and I'm like this,
because I'm like, oh, y'all don't see.
It's 17 niggas that just walked in
and whatever we're throwing up, they don't like it.
But I'm sober, so they think I'm tripped.
Okay, boy, man, why are you not smiling?
the man everybody comes in man you always tripping no i'm sober that's all that is sort of perception
i'm just wow now i'm really the coolest nigga in the room though you were you one of the coolest
niggas in the room now i mean y'all just probably had a disagreement that really you know what i mean
it ain't my business but i put it to you like this from what i seen outside looking in
ghetto ass nigger from where you from got an opportunity to travel the world you don't
rap at all you made the best out of your situation you started businesses
You got the shit cracking with your wifey.
Y'all became an item where niggas is like, goals.
Y'all couple goals.
Beautiful children.
Big-ass house.
You feel me?
All that.
But I'm not saying that you didn't do it yourself,
but I know by dealing with him,
it got you the access to do what you had to do.
Because before that, the only access we had was the block.
It was nothing.
I didn't even go to the same.
I didn't even go to San Diego, bitch.
I was done for the night.
No, you feel me?
So, I feel like that you just, you know, you seized the moment.
Now, what happened between y'all?
Can y'all fix it?
I hope y'all could.
But, you know, that's between y'all too, full life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't.
I'm just asking because these motherfuckers here think I'm like, I'm some fucked up
nigger.
But I'm changing, I'm changed.
But they're like, we got to watch this, nigga.
You know what I'm saying?
Loss, it's because you vocal.
When you vocal and you blunt.
people always think,
niggie, that you're just a terrible person.
Yeah, like I tell you, I'm gonna keep bringing them up.
I'm a Gemini, nigga.
Yeah, you know, you're crazy.
Yeah, I'm a Gemini, you feel me?
Yeah, it's gone.
But, you know, as far as the music, man,
have you ever stepped into the studio
and be like, you know, you're trying to use your relationships
for a verse, you know, this motherfucker,
he's a little bigger, and he's bigger now.
You've been knowing him and the motherfucker tell you no.
They don't tell me no.
I don't know why they don't tell me no.
but sometimes it ain't have you know you know I can get a verse from anybody yeah I remember back in
the day nigg was like man this Nick K wouldn't get a verse from jZ right now they'd be like he you just
put the wrong people on the songs they're like this nigga put niggie on the song was salsa walk
just because you can yeah but uh they haven't told me no but I ain't got it so they did they hit me
with the with the rapper shit no no no big bro for sure come on bro I got you I got you
That's rapper talk.
But it's cool.
I'll be like, look, everybody in different spaces right now.
You got to remember, like, T. Real notice.
Where the cameras at?
T. Real notice.
Whatever camera you're looking at.
They're hitting you.
Before all your favorite rappers, your favorite rappers, it was me.
It was Kay Boy.
I was popping before all these niggas.
But I know it's not what you did.
It's what you're doing.
But just remember that.
So when they're in their different space right now,
they're probably looking at me like,
oh, this nigga need us now.
Yeah.
Yeah, nigga.
They say 2009 no more, nigga.
Mark Ash.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got that, nigga now, yeah.
But a lot of people just say, you know, a lot of people just use me for my street influence, man.
And, you know, so they can maneuver.
But, you know, it's a new day.
You think you can adapt, though, to what's going on right now?
Because it's streaming.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to hop on the Internet.
You got to do your thing.
You feel me?
No, we're learning.
I have no choice but to adapt.
I have no choice but to evolve.
But we're learning.
though because we still hand in head now i still want to give niggas of cd you feel me but
we know what streaming yeah i mean so we just make them collected items you know i mean because
that's what we come from out the trunk and pulling up to every swat meet and all that because i feel like
it's more valuable i think these niggas got it easy just like how we go back i i relate music in the
streets the same right um the generation after me i feel like they got it easy the generation
before me feel like my generation got it easy in the streets like ah man y'all ain't got a
We wasn't even wearing red and none of that and then got slapped for all that, right?
Musically, same thing.
Like, bro, you ain't never had 500,000 people go to the store to buy your record.
You ain't never had a million, but you never had 10,000 people.
Imagine that.
That's what I'm saying.
And I feel like if we took it back to that, they said, man, fuck streaming.
We're trying to put CDs back in cars, CDs.
I bet you all, everybody that's streaming well now, ain't even going to get that.
It's easy to just go on there and just, first of all, what a stream is what?
What, 10 seconds and so?
I might not even like it, but I just gave you a stream.
I actually have to like it and love it to go purchase it.
So I'm not going to the store on some maybe I might like it.
Hopefully I'm a like this CD or this tape.
Nah, you actually loved it or liked it.
So that's why you're about to go spend your hard-earned money for that.
Do you feel like you can kind of pick up where you left off?
I mean, because I know as hard as a motherfucker.
And right now, you got you in that, you know what I'm saying?
you're in that circle like you're an OG motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying?
And then a motherfucker called me up the other day.
I got hot.
I'm like, bitch, I ain't a lot.
But I'm like, but I'm looking.
I'm like, damn, I am old.
Hey, one of my boys did text me like, what's up?
I'm like, this ain't my real nephew.
I'm not, I'm not trying to be an unc right now.
I'm not ready.
You know what I'm saying?
Don't put the unc on me right now.
I'm cool with the big bro.
I'm cool with the big bro.
Yeah, like yeah, big bro me or whatever the case may be.
But, you know, how you think you're going to get in.
there, man.
It's not easy.
When I say it's not easy because I just started over from the beginning so many times.
But I feel like I'm in a great space right now.
I just told my people like, look, bro, we're going to tap into our audience.
We're going to make them core listeners, core fans, and we're going to deal with that.
It's something that Nip said to Rince about having 10,000 loyal fans.
you'll be all right.
It'd be all right.
10,000 loyal fans,
you could probably make over a million dollars a year, bro.
If you got 10,000 loyal fans between...
How do you determine if you got 10,000 loyal fans?
You're going to know,
because if you put out something,
you're going to see the mark.
The numbers don't lie.
You're going to see the 10,000 threshold.
Like, oh, it's always...
We always knocking that 10,000, 11,000 mark.
You're going to know, because the number is going to tell you.
So if you know that, okay, I got 10,000 loyal fans,
they're going to do whatever I say,
which as far as buy merch,
come get this product,
support whatever I'm doing,
come out to this show,
you're going to be all right.
You know, back then,
of course we want to be global.
We want the masses to fuck with us.
But we're such in a digital space
that look what to do,
what's his name?
Russell, look at him from the bay.
Look at what he doing.
He got a fan base
where he do shows
in this backyard of his mama house.
That's crazy.
And they come.
Yeah, it's probably just 300 people, but guess what?
I don't know how much the ticket is to get in there.
They buying merch.
They buying a piece of vinyl.
And they paying for the experience.
He ain't did no sold out, packed out shows with 10,000 people.
He is becoming some type of dope, young, innovative person from the Bay Area where it's like,
damn.
Now, I want to try to do something similar because he didn't already did the backyard.
Now, what can I do where I can.
invite like 200 people that I know that I can get those 200 people to come to deal with me.
What's your plan?
Yeah, I don't know yet.
I honestly don't know.
You haven't figured it out yet.
Not yet.
I'm going to be honest.
But it's getting there, though, bro.
It's really getting there, though.
And I just think that me using my partners that Shockerware is going to be beneficial for me
because of the merch type of stuff, because of the clothing.
Like, I'm going to get into a space where, you know, they granted me where they said,
bro, if you come up with an idea, with a, with a cut of a something,
we rocking with it.
Yeah.
So that's dope.
And I feel like that put me ahead of the game when it comes to being on the business aspect.
Because music is easy.
I can really outwrap all these things out here.
So Poole.
So if the music don't work, we're just going to blame Poo.
We blame you, cut.
Get on your shit.
You know what I'm saying?
No, Poo got it cracking.
No, we got it cracking.
No, but just doing different things, bro.
I'm just knowing that, man, there's nothing cliche about when they say,
man, you need like seven to eight sources of income, bro.
Yeah.
Music can't be the only source.
But you see how goofy we are, people probably don't know that.
This is our personality.
Another thing is we need to be in front of these cameras, but bigger.
You know what I mean?
You know, I'm working on being a part of a soundtrack.
I got my young homie outside right now.
My name is Stephen Young, one of the dopes singers
that y'all going to ever hear you from New York.
from the Bronx.
Got my boy, K. Tuist, with him.
He produced with him.
He's a producer and engineer.
Dope is he.
They from New York, bro.
So it's like,
we got some things in the work.
He's actually doing the whole soundtrack.
So that means I get to be a part of it.
For a movie named Bosco,
dude out of the comp.
It's going to be real big.
He got Tyree, Vivica,
all the top-notch people in the movie.
So my boy actually doing the whole soundtrack.
So we're getting into stuff like that.
And just being a part of movies
and trying to write screenplay.
and being like that, I'm about to start some right now.
I ain't going to give too much information
where I'm going to just be dropping short films.
You feel me?
Like, we're getting into all different type of spaces.
Yes, music is one thing, but it's bigger than that.
Like, man, I'm trying to just be one of these dope black entrepreneurs,
for real, for real, bro, like a black businessman
that really came from nothing.
Now you can see that it's possible.
Like, we have to change that narrative.
And everybody want to bring Nip up all the time,
but we're not, it's like he left the blueprint
and nobody's really paying attention to it.
Like, bro, you can really be a businessman.
Nobody really dealt and messed with his music until Bro passed away.
And that's just the honest of God's truth except people like us, his peers that really was in his loyal fan base.
But the world messed with his business savvy, though, for sure.
Like, wow.
It was respected for sure.
Yeah.
So, I mean, if Bro left the blueprint and he didn't make it up, he watched, you know, the founder fathers before.
Like the masterpiece and all that, like the E40s, the game.
The game has, you know what I mean,
the game is to be sold and be told
And all that type of stuff
But man, when you give the game up, bro,
do not be selfish, man, give it up
That's somebody that's under generation
Know that it's possible to make
Something out of your cell, bro.
And we don't have to always got to play ball
Or rap, you feel me?
Being the businessman is dope.
We need more businessmen, we need more doctors,
we need more lawyers, we need all that.
We need more engineers, we need more coders,
we need all that.
We need a nigga
than own a no jumper.
You feel me?
Oh, God.
For real.
You're looking at him.
No, I see it.
I think Adam gave you the keys.
Yeah, he gave it to me.
You in 80 and I'm proud of y'all.
He gave me a couple keys.
You get to open up a couple of these doors here.
Yeah, AD got a few more keys.
I got a couple keys.
We in this bitch, though.
You feel me?
No, but no, for real.
I'm proud of y'all.
I'm proud of me.
I'm proud of y'all because y'all made something happen.
And I'm proud of AD too because he's like,
he rapped too, but he like, man, I found something else.
That, you know, because at the end of day, it's about changing our situation.
And if rap wasn't changing our situation fast enough, he dove into something else.
And, man, like I said, man, he got a beautiful family.
You know what I mean?
He gets to drive nice whips and all that.
Man, that shit is motivating.
We shouldn't want to take another niggas chain and his car and all that type of shit
because he got it.
That should be motivation to the streets to be like, hey, and I could do that too.
Or if you really want to be better than them, motivated you should be better.
Like, oh, you got the Rolex song?
I need a paddock, nigga, you know what I mean?
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, my nigga got the beam around side.
What shit, nigga, I want the Lambo.
I shouldn't be like, yeah, I won't show keys.
I won't show watch.
We got to get out of that.
That shit old now.
Yeah, we got to get out of that.
Yeah, that's your old now.
So, but, you know, before we get out of here, you feel what I want niggas that really
know, you know, what you're doing now, you know what I'm saying, where they can find you.
Like you said, I know you already explained it, but, you know, get these niggas of social links and shit.
So, you know.
East Side, K-boy, man.
Make sure you add the East Side or from the K-boy.
Instagram is E-Side underscore K-boy.
Everything else is the East Side K-boy.
Man, I can't, I'm not hard to find.
You know what I'm me?
Man, I'm out here.
When they say I'm outside, I'm really outside.
But I'm outside handling business, though, bro.
So, man, I'm on a different path.
I'm really for my people.
And, you know, I want the East Side to win.
And I'm doing this for the East Side.
The whole East Side, but really my section of Lobos, man,
where I'm from, man.
Gilbert, Lindsey.
park. I'm doing it for all my people right there because, man, it just looked like nothing
is possible. You feel me? Just, you know, from somebody being in the area and I'll be looking
at my little homies and I'm like, man, they got so much more time, but they don't think they do.
So when they see me do stuff like this, and I know they fans and no jumper and all that, I know
I can motivate them to do something else. And everybody don't rap. Maybe I can motivate them and be like,
you know what, I'm going to go back to school, man, and give me a trade and try to start my own
business so that's what I'm here for me and I'm for my people you know I mean everything
ain't perfect this ain't Pleasantville I mean this is the world so I don't think shit ain't
ever stop but I feel like we can yell on like this motherfucker and slow it down yeah I mean I'm
I'm here to try to help slow it down bro because there's too many niggas losing their lives for
no reason I mean so you know you I'm my usually when motherfuck can on here I have a couple
messy questions, but I ain't going to get at you like that.
But, no, I am going to
add.
It's cool, though. You ain't got to have
say you ever beat up any rappers?
Man, I ain't going to tell you who want me to do it.
You lie like a motherfucker.
If you tell me right now, you beat up
a nigga right now, cut.
Hey, I would have said it.
You could just go back then.
Back when.
Who you beat up?
No, no.
I need to, though, I know you beat up.
Please tell you beat him up.
No, if we did, I would have said it right now.
So it could have been in the subtitle.
So I could have went viral.
K-Boy, beat up.
No.
But I know what I, but you know what?
I hope a lot of niggas beat up a lot of niggas.
So if y'all watch a nigger, Kendrick and Dool-Daw can vouch for this.
Yeah, somebody tried to put their hands on Musa in the club and Long Beach back in the day.
And I got off first.
Boom!
So, yeah.
We ended that right there.
Shout out to my T-D niggas.
They know what's happening.
I love y'all.
Make sure y'all go go.
