Starting point is 00:09:17 Sophomore. I swear to God, like, the coach wasn't starting a nigger or nothing. Like, I don't know if it was because the nigger was just fat, but, like, I really had some hustle in me, though. Coach, like, why you ain't letting me get no little playtime? Like. You still feel some type of way to this day, huh? I said I asked him.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I don't know why he ain't starve me. This niggins. That's your highly personal. You heard of him. He said, coach. Why you ain't tharting? All right, so, so you was always fat growing up.

Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah, I'd have been out of pocket. They're gonna empty stomach them. No cap so, man. Speaking of that, how you get your name, bro? Where does it come from at? At what age you get it? I'm gonna chew my motherfucker in my back. You good.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I feel like, see, he got manners while you're eating. You feel it? I was a freshman in high school. Actually, no. I used to, when I started dropping, In like the eighth grade, eighth grade summer, that's when I got my name. But like, I wasn't really taking it serious, though, like. What that was calling you before that?
Starting point is 00:10:57 B-O-A fat boy. B-O-A fat boy. Yeah. B-O-A bad boy, okay, okay. Okay, so it was like a moment where they called you a little hungry or like how it happened? I start calling myself a little hungry, though. I really like made that name for myself because, like, why would I want anybody? else to make the name. Well, I can't make the name be joking on myself, and it sound good.
Starting point is 00:11:21 You're right. Because you already know they're going to joke, so you might as well. You feel me, go ahead and get it out the way type. I feel that, I feel that, I feel that, I feel that. So, what age you feel like, you start taking it serious? You feel me as far as music? Age, like, 15, yeah, 15. What you felt like your influences was to make you start rapping? Was it like Fresno any Fresno rappers that inspired you or just anybody? you was listening to? At the time.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Oh. Like, well, okay, okay. Well, I could say when Rio to JNGO, when I first caught the wave of him, I was like 17, but that inspired me even more. And but who could I say? Like, as like a freshman and sophomore and shit, I always listening to like Tay K and shit.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I wanted to be like TK. That nigga was hard as hell. Okay, he was going crazy. So that was once some of your inspiration growing up, you feel me, like, take, hey, type. That was a whole wave, though, for real, for real. Uh-huh. So, do you feel like when you first started rapping, like,
Starting point is 00:12:37 what was your style like when you first started? Like, was you always rapping like this, or you evolved into that, you feel, me? Who would you say you was more so sounding like when you first started? Or would you always on your own shit? You ain't gonna believe me when I tell you this, bro. You ain't gonna believe me when I tell you this. In the eighth grade and freshman year,
Starting point is 00:13:00 it's some little songs on. SoundCloud, bro, I was trying to sound like you, bro. Yeah? You and that nigga Frosty, bro. That's crazy. I was trying to get on y'all little shit. Hey, that's hard. I was a shit like that, I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:13:12 That's hard. I'm a nigga song just like that. That's hard. Oh, God. But, like, I really used to switch it up for the most part, though, like, like, famous decks and shit, like, do, like, certain flows like that. I used to try, like, all types of little shit. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:27 So you always are just trying to find your pocket type. Yeah. All right, all right, all. So at what age you feel like you jumped off the porch And what made you? Jumped off the porch What do you mean? Like when you start getting in this shit
Starting point is 00:13:44 Like or was it just like, nigga We always was outside with the hummies type shit Because you know some niggas would grow up And be like, nigga, I was always Or some niggas be like, like 12 or 13 Some shit happened than a nigga You feel like what did you feel like like What age you start getting into the streets?
Starting point is 00:13:59 When I was 18 to 19 I ain't gonna lie yeah like a year like a year or two back I don't go but like it was like due to like tragic shit that happened you feel me like you know you take a loss
Starting point is 00:14:19 you feel me like it was due to something tragic I was yeah dude was like chilling shit before this shit I'm still chill but I was I was chiller I was more cool like I ain't have to right but it's like when you put in positions
Starting point is 00:14:35 to where you got to then you to, you feel me? So, like, I say, like, 18 when I just turned 19. So what was the catalyst that that made you, if you could speak on it? My cousin. Yeah, it was my cousin, yeah. He had passed. So a cousin passed away, and it was like, all right, this time, you feel like, this is my family type shit.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah, yeah, it's my family, yeah. Yeah. Really more like a family than family thing than anything, though. It was more of me doing that before I just, yeah, it was just me hopping off the porch, not even into no gang at all at the moment. Yeah. So he was like, growing up, you never, what was on, no, like, I ain't trying to gang bang type shit. That's what you was on?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Or, like, you feel like before that, like, what you was on? Like, yeah, I ain't trying to gang bang. I ain't, I don't have to gang bang. You see where I grew up at? I don't got a gang bang. So, so saying that, that me, you grew up in a nice thing. part of Fresno is what you're saying. So it is nice parts.
Starting point is 00:15:40 You feel me? Because the only parts of Fresno I seen out, it looked like it was like that. Any time I was over there, I'm like, it would look like it'd go down right here, I don't remember. I don't remember, you feel me, but I used to do shows out there and shit. You feel me like downtown? You feel me? And I'm looking like, it's like that right here.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I ain't even go hold you. No cap. You feel me? So you said you grew up in the nice part. All right. So your grandpa and them had money. Yeah, my grandpa and my uncle, yeah. So you felt like a nigga growing up,
Starting point is 00:16:17 you ain't wanted, nothing. It was good type shit. Like whatever you wanted you got it or. Hell no. He was like, hell no. Hell no. Okay, okay, okay. I didn't get everything.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I was just in a good neighborhood and good living. That don't mean the inside of the house was, like, not dirty, but like. Right. I don't mean like what was going on. and started how she, you hear me, like, was what I chose, like, what I wanted to be. Okay, okay, okay. So was you, so do you feel like when you start getting into the streets and made your rapping change?
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah. Yeah? I was angry, yeah. I was angry. Mm-hmm. So you felt like that shit made you change your whole little style, like you, should have dinner look you got to that? I still have same style. I was just, you hear me?
Starting point is 00:17:09 In the music, I was just, you know what I mean me? This and this shit. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. But I always had the same style for like some years now, I swear. So do you feel like the environment that you grew up and you feel like in shape how your music sound now? Like, like now as far as you stepping off and you feel like all that shit's shape how you making music now? You said the environment that I grew up in, this what?
Starting point is 00:17:39 feel like, do you feel like the environment that you grew up in shape your music or like the shit you got going on? In a way, but I feel like I'll be in my own world when I make my music. Like, I'll say whatever I want to say. So it's like, I don't know. It probably is my environment.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I don't be noticing any, but it probably, yeah, it probably would be my environment. Yeah. Okay, okay. What you feel like been the hardest part for you as far as your rapping career so far? You said the hardest part? Yeah, what's the harder part of this rap shit for you so far? Uh-oh. The hardest part of this rap shit.
Starting point is 00:18:32 You're talking like so far as like, uh, like, hmm, I'll say, I'll say moving around and shit. Because, like, you got to go to the next city to do this. The next city to do this. Like, what if a nigga don't even got the money to do? this yet. Like, people just offer to come. Sometimes you don't even get paid from this shit. Hell yeah. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:18:54 So you feel like basically like, so basically with that, if you translate it, it's like, I'm getting popular, but the money don't come immediately. And that's what I'd be telling the niggas as far as rapping. It's like, I'm popping, but I don't mean that the that a nigga rich yet, you feel like me, like it
Starting point is 00:19:08 come later type. For sure. Yeah, no cap, no cap. So man, going back to the politics type shit, do you feel like like the politics and Fresno hold back the music scene? So far as like to do with me? Yeah. No, because I don't have to make this songs.
Starting point is 00:19:37 So I don't even got to put where I'm from or let it be knowing what I got going on in certain songs. And some people wouldn't even notice it that it was something going on. But it's like you can't. can't deny like greatness and shit, you feel me? So when they get to playing that hungry, it's like, damn.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Like, this nigga really slap, like, but I hate this nigga still. But I'm still going to slap this song because he ain't dissing than this one. He said he's not listening in this one. No caps. But, all right, so, since you answer for yourself as a whole, do you feel like, as a whole
Starting point is 00:20:20 for Fresno or everybody, do you feel like the politics is holding the city, back? As far as making it it with the rap shit? Making it with the rap shit. You feel like everybody beefing and shit? Do you feel like that shit a whole niggis back? Or you feel like nah? You feel
Starting point is 00:20:37 me? What do you think? No, because if you're supposed to be where you supposed to be at with music, then you'd have been where you were supposed to be at. You don't need to come together with him, him and him. So you fuck all that piece. He said, none of that piece is going down. You don't know, you come together with no digger from No hood. You can do this shit by yourself if you really got it. No cap, though. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I, I, not, that's a good answer because most people will say, yeah, it is holding us back. You feel me? Because we can't work together. But at the same time, like you said, if you're cracking, you're cracking, bro. I'm going to have to work with you. No cap, no cap. All right, so how you feel like niggina, rapping at your child? change your life so far.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And what, though? Like, like, what has it changed? If so. What has it changed? Mm-hmm. I feel like, shit, that I've been changed my life. Shit, look where I'm at. Look where I'm going to be after this. No care. Like, I got higher places. I'm going so many higher places, like, there's so many
Starting point is 00:21:51 opportunities being provided to me. That's a fact. Yeah. So, like, it kind of did change my life because these opportunities is what's bringing more exposure and it's what keep me paid so for sure yeah yeah okay no cap all right so another thing i want to ask you bro is uh what's some of your most memorable moments so far with this rap shit for real like memorable mm-hmm like what's what was some of your best moments so far as a rapper or something that that stick out what's one of your best moments so far just being a rapper though No, I'll be having some good moments.

Like, when I hear him and, like, they'd be happy to see me and they get to talking to me, I get, like, I feel like that's, that's like some good moments right there. But I don't know. Memorable moments, though? You said memorable, right?
