I've been seeing them too.
They all been asking.
Yeah, yeah.
I've gotten DMs.
I've tried to keep them away.
Let me see if this boy gets some old press.
Let me see if they keep pressing me about it.
When it's coming, when it's coming.
They start pressing me some more.
What?
I'm trying to figure out what the fuck is it about this, man?
They really fucking with.
Now I listen to some of your music too, but I'm like, man,
you didn't have some of your hardcore die hard fans man people who really fuck with you in my
inbox or on other interviews that I've done man they've asked for you man man what's that
kT4 man yeah you know what I'm saying so I feel like it's only right to get you here today
us sit down and we figure out you know who's the man behind KT4 yeah you know what's important
right yeah you know what I'm saying so I want to start off with you just ask
you, man. Like, you know, your upbringing.
Who is the man behind KT.
Form? Like, what was your upbringing before you even had
that name? Uh, shit. Well, um, just to break it down, how
I, I grew up and shit.
Um, shit, a nigga grew up good. Like, you know,
Pops' moms was around, all this shit. Um, okay.
I live with moms. Pops was involved, but he just didn't live in the same
household. Yeah. But, um, he'll come around and, you know,
all that for show. And, uh, on top of that, uh, my G moms or my mom's
and my pop side, that was involved, too.
But so I'm going to break this down.
My mom's side of the family and my pop side, they're from different size.
Like, you know, one's Dammuz and one is Crips.
Right.
But on my pop side, it was more of a generation of my age group.
So I kind of grew up around them.
I kind of went to my G-moms over there, you know?
So when I, as I was going over there, she lived in Southeast too at the time.
Shut on Southeast, man.
You know, got to go ahead and throw that one out of the best.
Shout on Southeast, man.
Everybody, man, who got.
But, yeah, so I used to go to her house and shit like that.
And then she used to take me over to our family friend house.
In the south of the southeast, I'm going to put it like that.
She used to take me over there and shit.
This is like from like first grade all the way to sixth grade.
She used to take me over there.
I used to, you know, be over there on the block with a badass kids and shit.
What was that experience like for you?
Like, for real, like just being young and probably seeing out people who were a little bit older than you was moving around you, not really giving the fuck.
Yeah, it was kind of like, I felt like I felt like.
Somebody else told me that about the city, about Chicago.
I said, man, what you feel about Chicago?
He was like, man, like, I know it's dangerous, but for some weird reason, Sharp, I felt safe.
That's crazy.
You just said, the second person has told me that.
On God, yeah, because it was like, you know, like, shit over there.
I was a young nigga, too, witnesses and all that shit.
You see nags get shot, staff, rob, police raiding shit.
Yeah.
Niggas getting put on, like, all kind of shit.
Like, you know, like, we got everything.
Like, we got liquor stores up the street.
The smokers out there, niggas hustling.
We got candy stores, parks.
All that shit.
Everybody always think, man, when, you know, they think of San Diego, right?
Yeah.
And everybody be like, oh, man, well, that's a tourist city, man.
Everybody's surfing and, you know, everybody kicking it.
But I don't think they'd be understanding, man, at them beaches.
Like, you'll see 30 niggas over there from the same set just standing off in the corner.
They're just chilling.
They're just doing their thing, man, and ready to press anything.
Hell of it.
So I think people kind of need to get that right today, man.
Like, it's ghetto air where you go.
Yeah, that's not, yeah, yeah.
It's not just like anywhere else.
It's probably ain't as worse and it's probably ain't as nice.
Right.
But you feel me?
It's the same.
Yeah, I'm going.
It's the same shit.
Ain't no difference.
Yeah.
Now, you getting into music, you know, how did that start for you?
Like, you know, because obviously, bro, I swear to you, the town they love you.
They love you, man.
I spoke on you on other podcasts.
Like, you know, when they asked me, like, man, when you know who you think coming out of San Diego.
And like, I love Little Weirdo.
I was sitting with him, you know, and shout out to Little Weirdo.
That's my homie and get your ass in for an interview for show.
But when it was asked, like, you know, who you.
Who you think making noise out of San Diego?
And I was like, well, shit, make the first name that came to my mind was KT4.
Hell yeah.
I'm being real with you.
I don't know if you watched that one.
Yeah, no, hell, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you was the first that came to my mind.
And I stood behind that, whether people like that or not.
Yeah.
You know, I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, I co-signed it.
Yeah, man, I stand behind that.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.
What was it?
But I don't mean to veer off and talk too much about it because I'm excited to have you here, man,
because it's good to have you here,
and I think it's good for San Diego culture, man,
you know, and just kind of trying to bring everybody
to the forefront a little bit.
You know, I try to sprinkle y'all in, man,
and just, you know, show that there's some culture there.
Right.
But what was it like for you coming up even thinking?
What was you doing the month before you even thought about?
Like, man, I'm about to go up here and cut this track.
Keep playing.
Oh, shit, like months before.
I say, like, years before, really, shit, niggas was just,
going through shit for real.
Like, you know, like, in high school, matter of fact,
so shit, after high, when I got in high school,
because, mind you, I told you I was with my mom's and shit
until like sixth grade.
That shit's like gladiator school, too,
because niggas is politicking at an all-time high there.
Yeah, on God, on God.
But my mom ended up having a situation,
so I had moved.
When I moved with pops and shit,
I got, like, more connected and closer
to, like, a little more.
And then my cousin, matter of fact,
Alan Baker, he passed away and shit.
He was like one of the main-
Yeah, he was one of the main ones
trying to push me to do this shit for real.
And like, I wasn't like applying the pressure though
but he always saw the vision like, oh, this is what we need to do.
You know, at the same time, we're outside though, thugger for real.
So a nigga ain't even like focus on our music shit
but he always had the vision of like, like, oh,
this is what you need to do whatever, whatever, right?
So long story short, when he ended up passing away,
that's when I started taking the series.
For real, for real.
Like it, like until that point, when that happened,
then that's when I really started like, okay.
Was that something you and you made,
Was that something y'all talked about?
Yeah, hell yeah, we used to talk about it all the time.
Like, as far as music, like him pushing me to do music, yeah, we talk about all the time.
He was always like, but I was never like trying to apply the pressure, though.
I'll hear him like, yeah, yeah, but, you know, we're still doing other shit.
You felt like he believed, so you felt like he believed more than you did at the time.
Oh, God.
On God.
Probably saw something in you that you wasn't seeing at that time in yourself.
Right, right, right.
Because I mean, shit, look at your progress today.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
That's exactly what it was.
I wasn't even seeing it.
He really saw the vision.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
First song you recorded.
Like, first, I don't give a fuck if you was even going and fucking around,
because I think everybody in the music game, they, uh, when you, your first cut,
you always go in there fucking around or trying to get your feel.
What was the first song you could remember even fucking around on, even if you didn't put it out?
Uh-huh.
San Diego, I don't want to know this one.
They don't want to find it.
I ain't going to lie.
I have so many, hey, I had so many, like, fucking around songs.
Yeah.
Yeah. Your first one, though, like your first one that you remember.
Like, I don't get a fuck if it is kind of embarrassed. I'm like, damn, I'm kind of not proud of it, but.
I mean, I never, I did have some shit, but I never, like, named it because it was never put out.
I just went in there. It was just bullshit and around, like, and just had it.
But I never, like, put it out. Like, you ain't, you ain't going to find it. I ain't even going to find it.
Right. Was you proud of it, though? Honestly, as an artist today, like you being around it today, you already don't fuck with it.
You don't put some mainstream shit out.
Uh-huh.
How do you feel about that today?
Like doing that, was you, was you, could you be as proud of it today as you could have been back then when you did it?
No, I wouldn't like it today.
I'm going to lie.
Well, we all evolve, I think, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, shit, that's how I go.
But in San Diego, for you, and I got to ask this one, honey, like, for you in San Diego, how was it, you know, fucking around, just being around gang politics and trying to do music.
Like, which one did you?
feel like was pulling you more.
See, that's what I'm saying.
Like, so when bro was here,
when we was, that's where I was,
that's what I was getting into.
Like, when bro was here, that's what I,
that's what niggas was on.
But, like, he was trying to push me to do music,
but that shit was just pulling me away.
Like, I mean, that's why I wasn't applying pressure
for real.
That's what I mean by a nigga was really thugging
the streets for real.
He wasn't applying pressure on that.
So it was just like,
this really, like, took a toll over the music
until that happened and then it walked me up.
You feel like music?
I get it.
People think San Diego is, you know, it's hell of nice.
You know, you walk around.
You can live cool, you know.
But what was it like for you and still probably like doing music around certain politics and things like that?
Oh, you're saying like, I mean.
You know what I'm saying?
Like what's it like?
Like you doing music and being around just certain politics because there's things that are going to pull you, man.
There's temptations.
People are going to want you to come here, people going to want you to go there.
You know what I'm saying?
But do you stay on track or do you kind of veer off?
Like around certain politics?
No, I feel like I am jobatics for real.
It wasn't no.
Like, no, it wasn't know about the veered this way or that way.
It's going to be my way.
Right.
And I know, it wasn't no.
Now, that shit didn't affect me.
Hell not.
Yeah.
Hell not.
Yeah.
I like how you do.
I like how you really stand firm, man.
There'd be a lot of people because I see, you know,
with the good, it's always the bad.
And I always see people try to, like, you know,
throw a little bit of dirt on your name
or try to talk a little bad.
And, you know, I'm going to be honest,
I don't really ever see you really entertain it.
Like, to where, like, I've seen you make a big statement.
Like, man, fuck these niggas, man.
These niggas is talking bad
or these niggas is talking reckless.
How does that make you feel,
church, like having to, like, kind of humble yourself
through all that?
Being a grown-ass man and just hearing
niggas trying to talk bad or just...
That shit.
shit made me laugh or i ain't gonna lie like damn brother like we all grown y'all over here worried about what the
fuck i'm doing but like now i'm just about the clown you niggins bums for real like yeah it's not no
nigger that ever got no money or nothing like that or no nigga doing what i'm doing it's always
somebody that's just like all the way down there like you know right just like they trying to get up here
they're gonna use my name to get up here it's just laughable matters that's it yeah yeah that's
yeah i don't know the fake me either niggas i'm gonna be real bro people people will use your face and your name
all the time to try to get somewhere
that they're not going to go any
motherfucking way. So for them to show you
they true colors, I mean,
I guess you winning in the end.
Yeah, it's a win-win for me, I ain't gonna lie.
You know what I'm saying? Your first project, let's talk
about one of your first project
since you don't remember the first song.
I'm cool with that because like you said, you was fucking around.
KT, everybody starts like that.
You know what I'm saying? Everybody's fucking around
so I can feel that. But your first project
that like, what was like
one of the first songs off there, you was really
proud of that you know like I put my all in so oh shit it's all right bro you can tell that
shit come on you could be proud of that motherfucker like that first i'm trying to think for uh
um i don't even know first project yeah your first like you're saying little EP
little first little five six songs you was proud of are you talking about some old shit yeah some old
shit because that's where it starts to bring you to where you at today
young god um shit i got a i got an old project matter of fact i think i only had like one or two
the first one was like some shit called like still grinding or something like that
um that song off of there though uh yeah how many songs is on that motherfucker like like 20 i think
yeah so it was a lot of joints on there yeah was you doing was you doing features at the time
like like not even features but just like bringing your homies in matter of fact no no no i did a
with Mazzie on that shit.
On God, it's called getting famous.
Yep, it's called getting famous.
Yeah, it's called getting famous.
Yeah, that was on my first project.
That was on my first project.
That was it like working with him.
It was straight.
He was up for a dude.
You know, that was way back when he had the,
before he had Blot of Live the album out.
So, you know, that was like, that was a minute ago.
Did y'all, did y'all end up linking or was that something like,
because I know niggas will send the song like here.
No, we did link up too.
After that, we linked up,
And we did another song and shot a video.
What video was that?
It's called, it's me, him, and R.G.
It's called, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah, it's called a little bitch, on God.
Little bitch.
Oh, God.
I like that.
Oh, God.
I like that.
How was that experience fucking with him?
Like, going and actually, like, on a work setting.
Yeah, yeah, it was, he was up for her dude.
It was, you know, it was, I felt like he was, you know, like, it's a lot of things that I'd be, like, funny acting and
A lot of niggas that's straightforward.
A lot of niggas that he was easy to work with, though.
I was going to say, bro, because I know, and this ain't love Mazi to death.
Nothing against him.
But I do know how, like, I'm sure there is niggas in the industry that has played big me, little you.
You know what I'm saying?
And try to, like, overshadow you and kind of push you.
Like, I'm doing all my shit.
Barely even shake your hand.
And when they're done what they part, they leave.
Not yet, no, it wasn't anything.
After that, we went to a show and some other shit.
Which are going to a show, too?
It was his show.
It was in Daigo, though.
It was downtown.
I forgot the club it was.
But yeah.
It was in San Diego though.
It was in the lab, matter of fact, right before that, too.
We was just fucking around.
Like, we didn't do no songs or something or nothing like that.
But yeah.
So it wasn't like, no.
You want to work with him again in the future?
Y'all would?
Yeah, I would.
Man, shit, you need to call him.
Get his ass to fuck up on the studio, man.
Yeah, everybody trying to work, man, and especially trying to work with you, man.
Because you seem like a dude that's you hungry, man.
You hungry, man.
You're eager for it, you know?
Is there any more projects that you got coming up
that the people can be looking out for?
Yeah, shit.
I just dropped some shit with the camp seven years later.
I got a project coming out right now
called Confidential.
That shit dropped like in two days.
And I got a...
That's pretty much here right now, yeah.
Man, shit.
I'll tell you this.
If you just keep applying,
I mean, all it's going to do is blow.
You know?
I mean, shit,
It sounds like you've been working.
Yeah.
If you can't even fucking remember some of the songs you didn't did, homie,
like when you told me your first, he was like, I had 20.
That's work ethic, oh me.
Yeah, I'm right.
Not everybody got that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it seems like today people are, I'll ask you this.
Are you more interested in pushing an album versus a single?
Or would you rather push a single, like, as an artist?
Like, what would you be more into right now to get going?
Honestly, like, last week, I would rather push a single.
Yeah.
But it depends on what it is.
Like you got like a, you know, like you feel like you got like a good feature or a good song or whatever, then push it out a single.
But I be having so many songs now.
That's why I'm coming out with a tape right now because I got so many songs.
It's like I might as well just put them out like this.
You know, seven, seven, a EP, matter of fact, not an album.
So, you know, seven songs, that's a little EP.
I rather do that for real.
I think that's the best way to go about it.
Knowing that you're popping and the things that you've already done fucking around in the music game,
how has it been trying to like get on radio and things like that like how is that type of press like for you
um shit i've been on a i ain't been on like jammuz united and anything like that but i have been on radio
stations though like and i have people tap into like from like uh what is it from like seattle or
or again one of the two like they be tapping in and trying to put me on the little radio out there and
shit and um yeah a couple places though for real like san diego it's a um hot 93 hot 93 point three or something
like that.
Yeah.
DJ Sway,
yeah,
I've been on the air
a couple of times,
so it ain't been like,
but it's not nothing
that I really like,
like,
been pressing to do.
So it's just like,
it's whatever.
Yeah.
The only reason I was curious
is because, you know,
it seems like getting on,
like getting a song of yours
mainstream,
one where you ain't got to do
a whole bunch of editing,
you ain't got to do a whole bunch
of bullshit to get on the radio
because it seems like
once one radio picks it up,
everybody else kind of picks it up
if it's hot,
it's catching wave when people are
chiming in like you know everybody's going on at seven o'clock
in a radio station or something like that man
and this one station is getting hits
because it's playing certain share
you know what I'm saying?
It's just getting out there so I just know it's got to
it's got to be kind of hard for a nigga
to try to get on radio.
Like you know what I'm saying?
That's why I wanted to know that experience for you
like have you trying to push that?
Like when a nigga say no.
what would be some of the requirements to get on?
Yeah, it might be like, shit, like cuss words or like, you know.
I ain't going to lie to you though.
I don't really know because I ain't really pressed to do that.
Like I ain't really tried to like, you know, apply pressure to get on the radio.
It's like I just make the music, drop it to, you know, the distro and then see what to do.
But I ain't never really tried to like go in.
You're trying to get this song on the radio.
Like, you know, a big radio station.
But I ain't never tried it.
Right.
I wonder what you, like, because I know you.
Like, because I know YouTube is cool, man.
Like, people get on through YouTube.
But it's got to be something else.
It's got to be a different, another algorithm to hop in for the music industry.
Me, do I know?
No, I don't know, but I see niggas getting on.
Yeah, hell.
They got like, niggas getting famous off TikTok, YouTube.
It's all kind of shit going on.
It's got to be a formula, right?
Yeah, hell, yeah.
It's got to be some type of formula there, man, that really just like, man,
hey, this is how you get the bad people want it.
Because I think for artists, the money's cool.
But a nigga want to get heard.
Yeah, hell of it.
How you feel about that?
Like, would you rather have the money right now
or do you want to get hurt and make the money later?
Sure, if I'm going to make the money regardless,
I rather just have the bag.
And I say that in a tongue twist
because I know there's a lot of one-hit wonders.
Right, right, right.
Or somebody that comes out, nigga,
they drop a whole bunch of shit,
and then after that.
And I don't mean to talk bad about the man.
I ain't going to say nothing, but like Fettie Wop.
The nigga, you know what I'm saying?
Like, a guy outstanding.
Had a track that just moved, man.
You know what I'm saying?
They sold it.
now they got all the money now but then again
you start to look back on it
where is it now? Right
right right where is the shit
now right and I wonder
if that scares artists like
do you feel like KT you are
just a now rapper
or do you feel like you're somebody who can really
solidify the future in the rap game? I mean I feel like
once you got a fan base then like
you can always get a bag you know you got
shit I ain't gonna even say no names either but yeah but I feel like
once you got a fan base like rather people think your shit
whack or whatever like at the end of the day
you still got that hard fan base or whatever
you put out they're going to fuck with it and you're
going to still get paid because they're fucking with it.
Right.
Got to ask you this one.
We don't bullshit it around.
I'm watching you tiptoe, nigga.
But I like
that shit for real. Because you
keep it that shit thorough.
Like I got to know this one.
What's the difference between
G gang and Siette gang?
it's a difference between those two.
For real, it ain't no difference.
If you're really G gang, Sieta gang, it's like the seven letter of alphabet is a G.
You feel me?
Cietta gang.
That's basically like saying, okay, it started with God body to label, basically.
Seven letter alphabet of the G, seven layers in God body.
That's where we get, you know, the seven from.
Seven P is the structure.
Prior property planning prevents Pittsburgh performances.
Yeah, that's some game they need to know if they don't know.
But that's basically the same shit.
So instead of saying like God Body game, we say G gang.
Instead of saying like a separate from G game, we say Sam gang, Cete gang.
You're just saying it in Spanish.
It's a number.
It's a seven.
It's a G.
It's the same thing.
It's the game.
You know, like in order to be in a game, like that's why they say nothing bigger than a G.
Like if you're a P, in order to be a P, you got to be in a G.
You got to be in the game.
You got to be in the game.
You got to be in the game.
You got to be in the game to be a member.
So it ain't nothing bigger than the G.
Where did the name KT.4 and Fatty G come from?
Let's dig into that then since you want to sit up over here and break down the alphabet
and all the numbers.
Well, shit, I ain't go live, right?
Let's break that down.
I like that, huh?
You ready?
Let's do it.
Well, shit, like, fatty really is like a name from my, like, family and close friends.
So all I did was just throw the Gs behind it because, you know, it's the G.
And shit, KT4in for real, that's like, KT4N for real came from the same algorithm
where I just explained to you, like the God body, like God body come from the Quran.
You know, in the Quran, they say it's the truth.
And, you know, we don't, you know, we do like, how can I say it?
Like, niggas do Ramadan, we don't eat pork, you don't got no tattoos, we don't drink,
we don't smoke, so it's foreign.
KT. foreign.
Yeah.
Where it comes from.
Do you ride forums?
Everybody's going to want to know this.
I'm just being honest, bro, because when they're going to see it in the title, they're going to
be like, man, you know, KT. Foreign, well, does he own multiple forums?
Hell yeah, niggas know me for that, too.
Niggins know me for that too, babe.
They ain't going to lie.
Man, I want to know, like, for real, because you seem like, man, you really moving and
grooving.
You don't work with multiple people in San Diego.
You didn't have been doing your thing.
Shit, all over the country.
You've been working with people all over the country.
Who are some of the top people?
Like, I'll just ask you this.

Like, something that's stand alone.
Like, everybody don't stand for the same purpose with this shit.
Everybody, I don't know.

You know, a lot of people would be like, I'll do a song with Dirk to, like, you know,
get some fame or something.

Everything else is really relevant.
You can be broke and famous.

That's facts.
I think, you know what, bro, to be honest with you,
there's a lot of motherfuckers that are like that,
but miserable overall.
You can have a whole bunch of money, bro.
Yeah, that too.
Right?
You ever had, like, a little,
and I'm asking you, like, this is a question of you.
You ever had money?
You can have money to feel like, man,
everything's cool around you, right?
You got the tightest clothes, all that jewelry, but still not happy.
Is ever a time like that for you?
You got money and you just still ain't, you don't feel happy, bro, so I'm like,
feel like something wrong.
Now, I feel like I just still be having a lot of shit to do.
Like, I'm still hard working.
Like, you know, I'm still getting up every day and hustling for real.
I think it's still working.
That's it.
Never felt like miserable or, like, you know, that's, that's, nah, nothing like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Does K.T. Forn hit the studio like niggas wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning and hit the gym?

Come on, man. Like, for real, like, are you really driven like that?
Or you just like, fucking sharp? No, I hit the studio once a week, man, for 30 minutes.
Yeah, nah, with me, I just, I hit the studio.

When I hear, when I post on Instagram,

We might be in there to, like, 4 a.m. 5.m.
So, nice, you know,

And doing that.
So you're just a nigga to just hit a button

Hell yeah.
Like, for real, be honest.
It'd be both.

You know, Airbnb in it out, you know, on the way to execute that million-dollar plan.
Yeah.
You know, keep it going.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is it because, and I'm going to ask you, I'm going to ride off of what you just said.
Is it because you don't genuinely believe that in the music game today, it's just, even if you got good music, you can make it?
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
You feel like it's a problem with that?
Is that why you don't believe it?
No, hell no.
that's just something I'm saying like you know to keep the bag on like to keep a for sure bag like
like music you could like you just said and they's got one-hand-one just like music it's gonna be
music but I mean to secure the bag it's not like it's not like it's not like it could take me far

question is since we had talked about that and we're on it do you feel like in kT

now i ain't gonna lie bro like i just been talking shit in this next little tape i'm just gonna you know
it's a talk shit one you know confidential just listen to it you know you're gonna laugh a little bit
or something that i like that yeah yeah i'll be doing that man like you know you know
everybody always putting drill music
drill music out you know what I'm saying
to hear somebody say like
niggins shit I was kind of rapping a little bit to where
Mike catch a kick out that shit
yeah hell yeah nah
yeah we ain't yeah
ain't really doing too much drill music
yeah
oh
yeah we gotta kick that shit
foot hop and you know man
hey
the most real shit we could
you know put out
Man, you know, we're going to be different.
I put it on drill music, but...
Yeah, man.
You don't, yeah.
Well, you know, California always, we always had a smooth group to us.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it just, you know the sound when you hear the sound.
Yeah.
Right?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and I like that if people do listen to your music, because I do.
If you listen to it, you're going to catch that in it.
Like, you still kept that original feel, hum.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, hell yeah.
How long you've been, uh, you've been, uh,
How long you've been doing these interviews and shit, though?
Shit, man.
Now I think I'm hitting almost a eight-month marker.
Eight months?
Eight months.
How they be feeling when you ask them, like, you know, interviews, when you ask them out, like, where they from?
Yeah.
Like, what kind of response do you really get from now?
You know, to be real, to be real, I liked your response to it because you was very, like, you know, oh, but that's what I'm used to.
Like, what a nigga say, because a nigga proud of where he come from, I see a lot of people, they be kind of ashamed of it.
Or they don't really accept it.
I'm not even talking about that.
I'm talking about when you ask them as far as the gang politics, like, where are they from?
Like, you know, not what city are you from?
Like, when you be asking, when they be getting into that shit.
When I ask them about gang politics, things like that, man, you know, it's just to really set more of the field.
Let people know where they come from because, I mean, shit, I know you're going to be proud.
And guess what?
If you don't mention them, your homie's going to be mad.
So we got to at least when I know I'm sitting with somebody, I mean, I'm just being real, bro.
So I ain't trying to send a nigga back to destruction.
Right.
And just some extra shit because when people be looking, when people watch this shit, they create their own perception.
Right.
Of what it is.
Like, oh, well, the niggas should have said this.
The niggas should have said that.
So when I'm dealing with somebody like that, bro, I try to really just let it be known.
Like, hey, my nigga, hey, this, where you're from?
Like, he's proud of it.
Whether you're active or not, does it matter, man, that's your section.
That's where you grew up from.
Yeah, but I don't know.
The way I'd be feeling about that.
I'd be seeing, I'd be seeing a nigger say that, too.
The way I'd be feeling about that, though, you know, like, I got family.
that study law and shit. Ooh, I like this.
I'm gonna be real. I like how you just did that.
You opened up, I just liked that.
Continue. We'll talk about it. Come on.
Yeah, no, I got family that study law.
So, you know, I got paralegals and all that. So it's like,
in order to be a documented gang member,
it's three things you have to do. Like, you either got to be
over there and getting caught over there, like,
or on pictures, throwing up gang signs or pulled up with active gang
members or caught in a, like, a gang crime or something like
that. And like these interviews is one of them things that could validate that. Like, you know,
you could be, you could be a, you could be in an area all the time because you live there
and weren't red one day. And that's a domo area. And the police pull up on you so many times
and stop you just harassing you. Oh, you're from here because now you're documented from here.
Because we always see you here. You're always wearing red and whatever. And everybody around
here is from here. Now, that's anybody. You don't even have to gang bang. Now, as far as a person
that don't want their stuff, like, you know, to be documented or something like you.
that like so these interviews for example like you ask somebody where they're from they're like oh i'm from
this that and the third right and then they go use that on you later in the court and give you that
gang injunction like oh well he said on this interview that along with everything else he's talking
about his music and all this which is true that he's from here and that's how they use that shit
against you that's why i was asking but it's it's a lot of like different people that don't really
understand well to me when i ask them is because i know like i said i know it people have a heritage
to them of what building you
them. Even if
you aren't in the neighborhood
today and you've moved out, it's still a part
of you of how you kind of look at things
in society. Because a lot
of niggas that have been put on to neighborhoods
have been raised in these neighborhoods.
A lot of these niggas
didn't get put on at 25, 30.
A lot of these niggas been in the neighborhood
since they was little kids. You know what I'm saying?
Before they even knew what it was and the
niggas they were standing around to get
put on at 13, 14.
So that's why I figure
It's a piece of a nigga's heritage, whether he's active today or not.
It wouldn't really matter whether he's active or not.
It's just his heritage is where he's from.
Because me and you both know, my nigga, you can go to a neighborhood right now
and the nigga tell you in San Diego right now, nigga, you can go to a nigga neighborhood
and they'd be like this.
What, nigga, where are you from?
I'm not from nowhere.
When nigga, where your grandma stay at?
Nigga, where your mama stay at?
They're going to determine you off that because niggas be so hungry.
Yeah.
You ever notice that?
Like, niggas be hungry.
Like, I don't know, man.
California made niggas be hungry for it.
They just want to know.
Yeah, that shit.
That's your point list to me.
I ain't going to lie.
But I mean, South East, that's what earlier.
I said Southeast.
But I'm talking about the actual gang.
Like, you can say, yeah, you say you're from Southeast.
No, you can say that that's like a...
But niggas can't really get away with that.
I think, you know, I think that's what kind of fucks it up
because when niggas get to go do interviews and shit like that,
and they was raised in certain areas.
niggas don't really like
nigga they wish you,
nigga don't say that your hood
nigga it's a problem
It's a problem
Huh?
These got hell of hoods in it though
That's what I'm saying
Yeah, it do
But you know what
Your hood gonna know who you are
And it's gonna be a problem
nigga when you didn't do it
Straight up
And niggas gotta understand
That yeah you are right
These is cameras homie
These be like
niggas gotta kind of watch
What they do
But they already know
It's kind of like a double ed sword
It's like if you don't do it
You're fucked
If you do it
You're fucked.
Yeah, that's back to what I was saying, like, I am job politics.
Ain't nobody about to tell me nothing about nothing.
I'm going.
Like, no, this is how I'll go.
You don't go like that.
You talk about you mad.
You bad.
I don't care you got low self-esteem.
That ain't my problem.
I'm going to build that shit up.
Hey, bro.
What builds, okay, let's ask this, man.
What builds KT foreign's self-esteem every day?
Every day you wake up.
What, like, what do you turn to, man?
for your motivation.
I wake up.
I think about getting some paper
and get into that million.
I'm talking about it.
Trying to figure out my next plans
and my next goal.
These niggas wake up
worrying about what the fuck I'm doing
and posting on Instagram
and shit like that
is making their self more mad.
You know what I?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So even if you was like
posting a video
and you walking your dog,
you're going to be mad at that.
Oh, that ain't no Frenchie.
Fake-ass French.
And you was just taking your dog
who you love.
on a stroll down the street.
Ugly ass dog.
It's early in the morning.
You just try to take your dog get some exercise.
They're going to be trying to see where I'm at.
What streets is that?
And sending it to all these people trying to see if anybody walked that street with that.
Why, KT?
What, bro, your music, listen, homie.
We can't deny.
Y'all stop laughing.
You can't deny.
The music is good.
You know what I'm saying?
You seem like a solid nigga.
You don't really bother too many people.
He's trying to do your shit.
Hell you.
Where are all the unnecessary?
very haters coming from.
It's because they don't know me.
That's where the frustration comes from.
If you don't know me and I don't, see, I'm not a person that fucks with people.
Like, the people I fuck with, I really fuck with.
So, like, if you like anybody else outside of them, like, I don't really fuck with people.
So that's, it makes it people frustrated.
Like, you think you too good to fuck with it?
I just don't fuck with people.
That's just my movement.
It's immaculate.
That's why I am where I am.
The structure.
That's how I move how I move.
You know, like, I'm only, you only see me when I want you to see me.
I'm gonna see you before you see me.
Like, but I'm gonna fuck with you
if I fuck with you, but if I don't then
and that's what makes me frustrated.
Then it's like, oh, fuck him.
How's your, I'm just asking
because I'm sure we all,
how's your DMs be looking?
They be ugly and they be shitty or fair.
Seems like you go through a little bit.
Yeah, they'd be both.
They'd be both.
But that shit just like.
Let it roll off your shoulder.
Hell yeah.
I laugh at it.
You know, that shit's just stay in a request box.
Yeah.
And I just laugh at it.
Yeah.
And, you know, shit.
If people get so tired of riding me, though,
niggas don't even be riding me like that, for real,
like, I'm no bullshit.
Sometimes I do here and there,
but I don't pay that shit in no mind,
so they be like, it's pointless trying to get on the head.
I don't got low self-esteem, like I said.
You know what I'll be doing, church?
Nicar, they'd be telling me like this.
They're getting my inbox.
Sharp music, bum ass.
Like, yeah, I swear to you, I accepted.
I'd be like, man, I love you anyway.
You good.
Yeah, you bad.
I don't turn some of the,
now I don't turn some of the most ruthless,
like they hate me,
all that man,
some of my best friends.
For real,
because you know what?
I'm going to be honest with you.
You kill them with kindness.
Kill them with love.
You don't got to match it.
Yeah, humble.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, you don't got to really match that.
You can still entertain it, man.
Just give them love.
Eventually, man, they'll come around.
Yeah, hell yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
You could turn.
A lot of people don't understand.
You can have the power to turn enemy into friend.
Right.
It's when you kill them with love.
See, hate.
can fuel hate.
Don't want you to take that back with you, Church.
I ain't can fuel hate me, me
me, let me tell you something.
Love kills hate.
When you even tell me the motherfucker, man,
I'm gonna kill you, motherfucker.
Yeah, I love you anyway.
Church, I ain't got no problems with you.
It fucks them up.
That's that tricky shit.
It fucks them up.
No.
But it fucks him up.
No, it's cool.
But it just, it fucks them up.
Because let me tell you something, man.
I've only seen somebody who move
with like pure anger
when they're moving.
I've only seen people like that get hurt versus, man.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Being just back, man, just being cool and watch it happen.
And when they come around like a fly, you smack it.
Yeah, that shit crazy.
You keep it moving.
I'll be going through that shit, for real.
Yeah, bro.
It's got to be hard for you, man, especially being younger and trying to even come up
in the music game, especially out of San Diego.
Shit hell, especially out of the West Coast, because it's hard for anybody today.
Well, we're the bottom of the West Coast.
Well, we're the last city before the border.
It's hard as fuck.
Like, so when you're doing something out of there,
What?
Oh, yeah, how the fuck?
He, oh, no.
Yeah, it's janky.
Damn, they ain't feeling that shit.
Ew.
You drop a dime on that, nigga.
That's what they don't.
My partner was talking to me yesterday, right?
He had to go over to Mexico.
Shout out to truth.
He said, he had to go over to Mexico.
He said, they waited until he got past the border to ask him a bunch of questions.
He says, man, why are you asking me a bunch of questions?
He said, we are already past the border.
He said, y'all still ask me quick.
Man, we're already home.
Well, we got to ask you if you had any drugs and shit like this.
He said, man, y'all should have asked me that, man, before I even came through.
Passed the border light.
Yeah, like when he came back from Mexico, he said he already didn't come through it.
He says, and there's another little check, little check mark or whatever, you know what I'm saying,
a little checkpoint to where they start asking additional questions.
He's like, man, y'all already didn't let me pass.
You know, they be janky up over there, bro.
No, for real.
They be doing their own shit over there, man.
I don't go over there.
I ain't been over there and so long.
You don't go to TJ to go play around.
Hell no, no more.
I used to be that shit all the time, man.
I'm never going over there again.
Yeah.
Yeah, they get the deucey.
What was one of your experience?
Because, you know, you can go over there as a kid.
Yeah, I've been there with a kid.
To T.J. and drink, legally.
Oh, no, I don't drink or smoking anything like that.
I know you don't, but I'm just saying motherfuckers can go over there and actually go party.
So you could be in clubs where, you know, at 16 years old.
Hell, hell, hell, hell.
No, I only went over there to go to Caliente, for real.
Yeah.
Bet on the football games.
That was it, football.
Yeah, that was it, really.
Other than that.
I got a note, I got a know, four, get out of it.
Did you smack them when you bet?
Uh, shit.
Did you smack them?
No, I didn't hit before, but I didn't, I lost.
Man.
I ain't, I ain't gonna say like I smacked them now.
Hell, nah, it was like, I'd be doing light shit, too.
Like, I ain't been over there in so long,
