You just trying to lie, quit.
I'm glad.
I'm glad you can get up here,
camp like he was nice.
I was going stupid.
Yeah, because they'll call me out for that
on this.
See, now, now if these cameras
was right here, I'd have told you all
was doing, I used to go retort him.
He said I was not nice.
What position they had you at?
Man, I was playing nose guard.
Defense, defense,
uh, tackle.
And since, that was about it.
I didn't even play offense because, like,
I couldn't understand the plays.
Like, I ain't know, like, every time you feel me, it was time to get right.
I just, I just said, on offense, I don't know what to do.
Which way do I push this, nigga?
Hey, my, my, my, my, boy, confusing, gang.
Like, look, I grew up a basketball, you feel me?
So when I hit to turn the game on and look at these players, I'm like, game, what's really going on?
Like, you feel me?
So I feel you, no cap, I always confused myself, gang.
Man.
At what age did you realize?
Like, I'm not nice, so I need to just go ahead.
Stop playing.
When I was a sophomore in high school.
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.
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.
You never had no skinny wave.
You was always type shit.
He said, so you knew he said,
mm-mm.
Hey, look, we told hungry he can't smoke,
but we for sure wasn't going to tell him
he couldn't eat up here.
No cat.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
I'll be having some good fan moments.
Like, a lot of people see me all the time.
So it's like, that's what really make me happy.
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?
Like something that stick out to you in your head that came from rap.
Nick, I'm on no jumper.
You're talking about, right?
No, you feel me?
You feel me?
No cap.
I feel you.
For real, for real.
Speaking of that, how you, uh, get LinkedIn with this, there?
How that happened?
So I've been, I've been on through since I was, like, 16, like, getting on a lives and shit.
We see Lee and shit, uh, trying to do, like, the little...
I ain't never been too good at, like, doing, like, the rap battles.
Because, like, I don't probably got, like, three songs written because, like, I'm really a writer.
So, if I don't got it written, I ain't going to do it.
But, like, with, like, the freestyle was, like, one or something.
I don't want a couple times off that shit from the time I was, like, 16 until now.
Okay, okay, okay.
So you just been, so when you start dropping on there, you always was dropping on there?
Dropping on this one?
Have you?
No, I ain't even.
Just the ciphers.
Yeah, the ciphers.
I got a song with SS Rich on there.
Okay, okay, okay.

Okay okay
So
alright so once you graduate
what you want like what you're thinking like
they telling you get a job

I don't know I was trying to sell some weed
and shit
I don't know just like regular
nigger shit so I was living a regular
nigga day-to-day life
Lisa I'm cool it nigga I'm trying to touch some weed

It was 22.
So could you speak about what happened?
Shit, gun violence shit.
That's the most.
I could really say.
Street shit.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
So was you already hanging around the hood that you from now,
or did that moment make you?
Or like, these were already your hummies.
Look, bro, I've been fucking with the tees, bro.
Look, I'm trying to tell you, look.
I used to getting fights with niggas with the suckers in high school
because I used to say I was from there in front of the.
You were claiming.
That's at all they started.
My cousin was from there.
I was married to you, with me.
I was just saying you came me off him there and shit
That's how I started
But I still wasn't even no game member after that
Like I had some common sense after that
At a young age
So do you feel like them
You being related to them
Do you feel like that made niggas want to get on you
Or did that make you want to get on niggas?
I didn't want to get on a soul
You chilling
That was on you
And you're like damn like I'm just cooling
Yeah I'm a little cool
So you feel like that
That made it even easier when your cousin passes,
like, these niggas already been been fucking with me.
They already been bothering the, nigga.
You feel me?
Too, that.
So it wasn't like you just popped up
because I'm sure that's what the other side
probably be trying to say.
Like, you feel me?
Like, oh, you feel me?
But it's like, nigga, these are my cousins,
this is my cousins, some shit happening.
And I, you feel me, got jicky.
That ain't too crazy.
You ask me, that's how it starts.
And he's still young.
You feel me?
He's like, that's how that start, game.
No cap.
All right, so
Was you already known
That's a little hungry
Like when all this happened
Was you already cracking?
Mm-hmm.
No.
I wasn't,
I was known as little hungry.
Okay.
For sure,
I was cracking just a little tiny bit.
Okay, okay.
So you was just dropping little shit
on like,
what, like SoundCloud?
I was only dropping on YouTube.
Okay, okay.
Music videos and songs.
Mm.
So you were doing a little shit
but it wasn't nothing too crazy?
You know, wasn't that too crazy.
What moment do you feel like
changed that and when?
Like when you start going crazy.
After I dropped.
Oh, yeah.
When my manager came, my manager came into the picture.
Oh, yeah, my manager, big manning.
Okay.
Like, basically, like, tell me realize, like, it's money to be made off this shit, like, big money.
So we got to get this shit set up now to where that's going to get wired for the screen.
Because if you miss it, it's over, nigger.
No crap.
Like, it's a time and the place for every.
I always say my first year doing music, I didn't know how to collect no money.
You feel me?
Didn't know about United Masters or the Distro Kim?
Nope.
First year, I was just doing SoundCloud.
You feel me, a little YouTube.
I didn't have no clue.
It took me like nine to ten months.
Then I got hit.
You feel me?
That's how it be.
You gotta get hip to this game, no cap.
Fly right past you.
I didn't know about that.
I thought it was bullshit though.
It's starting to get pretty cool.
It takes some time for it to get pretty cool, though.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
So what song do you feel like was like, all right, like, nigga, now I'm starting to get cracking.
And was it because of dissing?
Or you feel like you was cracking before?
Or you feel like the dissing was like, oh, they're on it now.
Okay, so look, when I made my first dish on, it's called Slider Mode, I think I got that
that motherfucking just.
Yeah.
I got that my fucking.
And then it was, it's, it's, it's, and, it's, and.
then I dropped forever stepping.
That's when I really, really, really start to go up after that one right there.
Why you feel like that?
What was, you feel like it was the video, the song, like what was it?
We shot the video in the opposite, too.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
That was the stuff?
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
So that's why I was like this nigga doing something.
So that's why, you feel like it's starting to crack.
Absolutely.

I ain't a lie.
So you feel like, like you're not starting it.
They dropped something, and I got to say something back.

five, six songs written before I go
to the studio. Before I even get
to playing around, punching in. So I know I got some
I know I got for short hits every time
I go. Instead of like, when you
punch in, you might come out with some
bullshit.
