I'm from South Central, L.A. Right there on Manchester, 87. For Takeda source, I would say probably for the first 10 months, It was smooth. I was stable. Oh, my bad. I was stable, you know. I got a crazy family.

I got a gangster dad and a lovable mom. My mom's with the business, too, but, you know, she's the lovable one. My dad's, like, the crazy side. And then, you know, just real strict parent. Like, my dad was real strict. Like, I couldn't even fucking stand outside because we was in Manchester right there by fig. So if I was standing outside, I was a prostitute.

I would get called a prostitute or whatever the fucking stupid shit. but we were stable for, I would say, like, the first 10 years right there in South Central. And then after that, it was just a fucking man. It's like, you know, we was moving everywhere. I'm talking like we wouldn't even get evicted type. It would be more so we would get into it with hoods or like we would get into it right there in the area. And then, you know, the house would get shot up. The house, you know, just.

This copseys the game baby. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, my brother said, you would, you know, they just not. They never let themselves, you know that. Facts. We're not like that. We're going to play ball, we're going to play ball. And we take it to that extent.

So that's why it was always like, you know, bullshit. But for the most part. Tell them how many siblings you got? I got four. I got three brothers and one little sister. How was that growing up? Which child is you? Like middle?

I'm the middle child. How was that? Having older and younger? It was honestly the best of both worlds. Like, my brother. I feel like my brothers really raised me. Like, them they got more of, like, the best of my parents, I would say. Like, my little brother and my little sister.

But me, I feel like I was more raised with the boys. Like, my brothers used to be my eyes. My dad used to be my ass. Like, I grew up with my brothers. Like, we couldn't even come home without each other. If we all didn't come home together, we all getting our ass beat when we got home. You know? That's a shit.

They were round each other up before they went home. Yeah. Because they had to come in the house together. Yep. That's a fact. And then if my brother couldn't find me or another couldn't find me, they would meet me somewhere and they'd kick my ass for them trying to find me type. And then, man, around that time it was fun.

You know, we were running packs, like, walking up that fucking hill, like, just doing it up, going to Taco. But the dance battles at McDonald's and all that shit. You remember all that shit? Like, what the fuck? Like, that's what made me. It was crazy. It was.

Crazy. So, like, after y'all moved from Manchester, where did y'all go? We went to, uh, yeah, to hunger. Mm-hmm. So, we went to the S-F-V. What was that like, you feel me, going from, from South Central to that small-ass city, you feel me moving out there. Like, how was it?

It was kind of, like. Was it a culture shop? No, for, for sure. For sure. Yeah, like, it was different, food. Like, like, you could see the difference. Like, when we went in, We automatically

We looked at as crazy Yeah like Yeah you know what's up Like Like everyone just wanted to be like us too So I didn't give a fuck Like you feel me like So I didn't give a fuck

But other than that Yeah it was a coach like You know like We was already getting harassed By the police and shit But over there it was worse Like school police was on our ass Like bro they knew

Like every school I would go to over there It'd be like Palmerro Like you know Like they already knew It was cracking over there like so yeah it was it was bullshit like we're getting to a lot of bullshit over there but it was cool it just everything shit that's a fact at this age um was you like what came

first dancing or rap for you dancing and what age was this for sure um damn since i was little full like i my mom since we were little she would always walk around with a video camera And I just push everybody at the way like, hey, I'm here, you know, like, I'm the one, like, type of shit. And I was, now, I feel like it really started, like, singing, kind of, because I would always ask for a karaoke machine since I was little. And I would always just, like, be in the camera, dancing. I would watch, like, dancing movies going up, like, honey, bring it on, step up, like, all that shit, like, you know. I would watch, like, anybody performing a Revelde, like the Novelas. Like shit like that

Selena Like my first CD was A Selena CD So yeah So my My mama For Christmas Yeah

She gave me that shit With the karaoke machine And when they would leave The whole house I'll get a broom And I was standing In the corner Of the fucking couch

And I would I would get on You know how the couch has that Like Where you sit your arms The armrest on it Yeah I would Stand on that shit

With the broom My little ass And I pretend I'm singing For everybody Like looking down So you know Since you know for Since you

Since I was a kid that just what you wanted to do. But dancing, like, I don't know how, like, I got to do some answers to shit. I don't know. I think it's me for real way. Nah, I'm just kidding. But I think, I don't know who. I don't know who. Like, we'll get into that.

But, yeah, like, the dancing came out, like, probably in school. Like, they was just trying to, like, get me into something to stay out of trouble type shit. And, um. So, like, a dance in school or, like, classes or something? Yeah, like, just, like, they would be like, what do you like to do? And I ain't a music street Y'all, I'm not about to start rapping at you all

because I'm about talking about to, like, you know? So I was just like, man, okay, trip out. So if you look at my real name, like, I've, like, I've competed. Like, I'm a Miss Dance Drill Team USA. Like, I won a gang of gang of, just like, and that shit means a lot of-

When was Drill Team? It's like middle school or something, high school? It was Miss Dance Drill Team USA. So it's dance and drill team teams. They don't go against each other because it's two categories different, you know? But they had their own category and we had our own,

and I would be going against other schools and shit. What age is this? Yeah, this is probably when I was, like, in sophomore year. Okay. But I bit, like, in elementary shit, I was still doing, like, little, like, dances and stuff. The first team I had gotten into it was, like, in elementary, but, excuse me, elementary, but I got kicked out of it

because I threw a pencil in my teacher. So it was some stupid-ass shit. She pissed me off. But anyways, fucking, um, that was, like, the first time, and then after that, I didn't get into no teams, into like high school like teens but I was always dancing like I would put TV on and learn

dances like just watch them and then I'll just learn it like you know but I just think I'm naturally a performer like so the dancing came first okay so I think that's where the competitive do come about too because if we're going like

them real dance competition yeah like yeah it's like and I feel like my bad so from the dance I think dance and that shit got me into the rapping because more so I was like, you know, dancing is like more for the back type and I didn't really like that.

Like, when I was in a team and stuff, bro, I was eating all the bitches of. Like the sophomore, seniors, that's just all of them, hip-pop-wise, was fucking them up. You know, my coach would even tell me, like, I need her in the front. And then I would even say, I'm like, get, like, I could tell, like, she kind of butter her, like, she wanted to be in the front, like, get her in the front. And he'll, like, try to do it, he'll be like, hell, no, I want you in the front. Like, you need to come back to the front, yeah.

So I was I going with this? Okay, so. Oh, yeah. How you got into the dancing and didn't wrap you. So with the dancing. I got you. Yeah. Just because I was so good at dancing and like the versatility.

Like I could dance to anything. I would feel like that's why I'm so good with, I'm so good with music because I got an ear for music. And I know what could make it move. Like, and I know, like, I've been through real shit. So it's like not like I'm popping it. Like, I'm really, it's all authentic. Like, it's no bullshit. So.

Now that's the fact. You have been, you have to live a crazy life. You feel me? Speaking of that, can we get into like, what's some of the earliest crazy memories you got? Like, family one? Yeah, give me something. Okay. Crazy, in general.

It's a lot. It's a lot. Okay. This is an offense. You know, I know. Damn. Give us a good one. It's because a lot of shit I can't say because it's like.

Give us what you could. Give us what you could say. It don't got to be that crazy, but give us something you could say. Okay, so I remember one time, right? Damn, but I'm not going to say it. You don't got to get too specific. Oh, okay. I'll say the crazy shit for my life.

You know what? I was going to talk about some, like, family, but look, this is what the crazy shit that happened to me for. All right, so look, this was reason to, like, in 2000, I'll say like 2017. I had to drop out of school because it's, okay, so boom, we moved to, we moved somewhere, whatever. We ended up getting into it with some hoods.

This is when y'all left to hunger. Yep, and we was all over the place after that. Like, all over the place. That's when I didn't see y'all no more. Yeah, all over the place for him. So we moved to some certain hood. I'm not going to say, because fuck them. You don't got to.

Yeah, yeah. We moved over there. And, you know, same thing. Like, my brothers, you know, my brother's all about their paper. Marisha would bust it if he had to. He didn't give a fuck. Like, my brothers was making money since kids. So, like, they're going to do what they have to do.

Facts, you. I will get into that. Your brother put me on a lot of shit. I ain't going to lie. Let's not say. I'm just kidding. But, um, me too. But, um.

Yeah, so, you know, we just, they banged out. They, you know, walking, rocking and go to work, fools, fuck with them, whatever. And a whole bunch of bullshit ends up having it and we end up getting with them. Jason, keep, Jason and Marisol, fucking these fools up back to back. Yeah.

Jason Marisio fucking these fools up back to back. So it's old heads coming and coming. Like, it's not, it's just getting worse and worse type. So one time, we all happened to stay home from school one day. And this was B, ongoing. We all happened to stay home. from school day, me, Maricio and Jason. And we just hear, like, Marisha's in the shower for him.

And I'm in the living room. Jason's passed out in the couch. And then you just see my brother Maricio run out. He goes, my dad. But in his boxers, full wet as fuck. And he was a towel on his thing. He's like, my dad, you guys don't hear that? So he runs out, and we hit the cut because we had, like, a house where, like, our garage was right here.

And then this was the front. So we had this all open. The cars was right there. and then this was the front. He runs like that, and Jason hops up. We run, and my dad's getting down with like three ns. Like, my bad, three fools. Three fools.

And then, yeah, he's getting down with him. And then my brothers, then they start getting down with them. I'm not going to say what we were having after that. But something. It got crazy. Yeah, yeah, it got crazy. So I guess they ended up coming to the house that day. They shot up to kids.

gets worse after that, you know. You know? It get crazier. Yeah, so then, boom, one day we're going to my grandma's house, fool. We're on the freeway. This is why I don't drive anymore. I know how to drive. But you're scared to drive.

Okay, I'm scared as fuck to drive. Like, bro, all the cars that I bought, they'll sit in the garage. I'll smoke a bloody that motherfucker right. Like, but I'm not, like, I'm, my Uber, I'm sorry. You scared to drive. That's crazy. So, they cut the brake. They don't know what

But they cut our Real Serenio shit They caught our brakes We're in the freeway We're on a freeway Like we're on Manchester Like fool we end up like going past Flore and all that shit

Like we end up The car We didn't even I don't even remember I would say this We didn't even get coffee But um We hit like The car didn't stop

We hit a gang car It was crashing everywhere Like my dad was trying to like Me it was me Big Head My brother was the priest me, Bighead, and my little brother JC and my little sister.

The whole family was in the car. We was all in the car. We always wrote my pops, you know, so we was all in the car and, yeah, it was awful. I remember I was like, damn, we're going to die. And then we got the point where it stuck so you can't move.

Like, we literally was just going to the gas right now. Like, I don't know how there was no chopper. I was like, God was... God was with trial that day. Yeah, because that shit. That was probably one of, like, like scariest parts of my life but it was more crazy like

damn that's crazy as hell so once you get into the dancing and then the music you feel like what's some of the first songs you recorded you feel me like and and how old was you when you really got into the rap like all right I'm gonna rap I'm not even gonna lie like

I didn't want to do no fucking music like I would like I literally I would okay so when I would try to write I would try to write singing songs like stuff to sing and I'm like man like this like no I don't I'm not fucking with it yeah, but I could sing for real, but I just, I can't, I probably can't write a scene song type

shit. But, um, maybe actually, yeah, I can. Oh, but rapping, like, uh, I think one day I was just like, man, I'm gonna try it. And then I was like, damn, I'm pretty hard. Like, I fuck with this shit. Who wants to wish to rap? Uh, my brother. Yeah.

Uh, they put me on to, like, the rapist, mostly. Like, my brother, Mauricio, like, he'll put me on to, like, Little Wayne, like, all, all in foods, like, where's, like, like, where's, like, like, So, I was like, I listened to all that shit, Ice Cube, all this, but because of them, you know? And, um, and then if I was to play girls shit, they'd, but let me, turn that shit off. Like, what the fuck? Like, play some gays this shit. Like, so then I had to hear that shit.

Like, I would hear it, but I fucked with it, you know? And then Jason, too, like, he will write a lot, but that food was more like, let me write a song for you type of shit. Like, he never wanted to be, like, in the camera. He hated recording himself full. He never liked being in the line, like, ever. I don't know if you were there for a couple. You was there for a lot of say, but when there was that one rumble, like, I don't know if you remember when my brothers went around the whole group and they were like,

if any of y'all fucking record, it's all, it's on your ass. Like, this shit burn out. The man is really lived by the old cold. Yeah, you couldn't record nothing. You couldn't, he didn't like being, like, they're just like, you know. But him, he was mostly like, man, keep doing it. Like, you keep doing that shit. And I remember once I was so vivid too

Because it's before he passed Like the You got it Okay hold up You're all right Take a little bit You good You got this shit

Like right before he passed You're all right You got it It was crazy too because Like he would hear my songs But he would just be like I didn't hear you spit for real Like man

And I would be scared to spin from in front of him, you know? But when they was outside kicking it, like, and it was some mother food with us, too. And then he was like, man, you don't spit. I spit better than, like, you don't spit. Like, so I'm like, man, I fucking spit. Yeah, you always do that shit.

Like, you know what I'm fucking rap. I fucking rap. He's like, you're a rapper? Yeah, I rap. He's like, rap then. And I'm like, man, you ain't no rap. Like, you know, he would just punk me type shit. I started rapping for him one day. And I know, like, he's seeing that he was like,

what the fuck? He tripped out. He's like, your delivery is crazy. Like, and he gave me a big, he gave me a big ass hug that day. Yeah. All right, bro, it was the goat, man. Now, you're good.

You feel me? You feel like this shit today. No care. We got this shit today. You feel me? Yeah, he gave me a big ass hug that day. And I think that's when I was like, oh, shit. Like.

I'm for the rap. I like this shit. I like the love that I was getting from my family. Because when they, they always knew that I was like, I creed out, like, you know, it was in Spanish, like, you know. But, like, they always knew I was. was meant, like, to do this shit, it was just, I'm so

a overthinker and I'm so, like, I don't know, I got anxiety shit, I don't trust people, obviously, you know, shit. You got a crazy life. Yeah, so I don't, you're rare you really seeing me outside. If I really fuck with you, I come, but other than that, I'm in the house with my mom living, you know, like taking care of my family type shit. Hell, yeah, so once you start rapping and shit, do you remember the first song you recorded?

Yeah, I do. Shit, okay, so the first time I got in, this is the first time I ever got in the studio. I was some stripper bitch. I was living with her because I was, okay, so yeah, we was homeless at the time because, yeah, we got every, okay, that's what I was gonna say.

We would get evicted, but not because we was broke or anything because we wasn't broke. It was just, the owners would be like, oh, hell, nah, like my house getting, like, all this shit, like, nah, get the fuck up out of here. Like, so it was hard and, like, to, you know, So we was in mom and garages for a while And at some point like

You know it was getting hectic in there like It's a little ass garage and there's a fucking 10 of us Like what? Like I'm out of here like I gotta go do something And I was a high school dropout already You know at that time? So I was living with my home girl She was a stripper and shit

And then um Where I ended up moving to Westminster like over there And the first producer Like Orange County type shit Yeah yeah And the first producer I really like like f*** with was um there in Vegas he used to like produce for like two pie like death row

and shit like that um yeah like that was the first time i heard myself on the track type shit like i actually sat and wrote something like before i was just like just like freestyle yeah or like i'll write it and memorize it because i can't really freestyle i have to like memorize that shit and i'll have it like in my head type shit and then um he heard me he's like who who are you like what the fuck and i'm like me me i'm like me i'm At first I was like Shorty, like, because that's what everybody knew me at Shorty. And then, you know, he heard me. He was like, man, let's get something going.

Like, you dope is fuck. Like, and you're Latina. Like, what? Like, you don't hear it like this shit. And I actually took my brother Bighead to him for the first time. But Jason ended up getting locked up and he didn't finish the song. I'll show you it eventually. He recorded his own shit one time.

But it was just for him, for him. And that shit is deep. fool and he heard my brother and he was like oh your brother writes crazy like he sound like a fucking Latino Tupac like the shit he's saying it's like what the fuck

like he would even tell him like you should let him write for you at some point but I was always like man what the fuck I don't know yeah so he never got to finish that record but he had one but yeah my first one was with Darren Vegas shout out Darren um

how that shit You shouldn't hear yourself. I tripped out. I'm like, what the fuck? So that shit made you more confident. Like, I really want to do this shit. No, yeah, it for sure did. Like, I was like, man, it gave me like a foot in, foot out type shit.

Like, I was kind of like, all right. Like, if I could, if I really, because if I put my mind to me, I could do anything I want to fucking do. You feel me? It's just more so if I have a bad feeling about anything, any little thing, I'm not, I can't. And then I know, like, yeah, I don't know. You know, it's like, you know who you want to work with type of shit, produces. It's not right. It's just not right.

And for me, music is all about feeling type of shit. So I don't know. Yeah, that was the first time I did with myself. I haven't worked with him in a while. But, yeah, that was the first time I had recorded, like, I recorded myself. And I was like, damn, I'm hard. And if I believe in myself, that's even better. Like, mm-hmm.

That's a fact. So what's your studio process like? Like, you feel me? Like, walk us through? Snoves. Dan, you getting ready to go to the studio, you feel me, then when you're in there, what's your process like?

Damn, bro, I don't even know. I loki, I always try to be like, oh, I'm a right to this shit before I go in type shit. You try to go prepare. Yeah, it don't work like that. Because then that day I'll end up being like, I don't feel like that, like it has to be that day.

Like, I have to record it within that day or like how I feel that day. It has to be recorded because the next day I'm on to something else. Like, I don't know, I got ADHD full, so I'm just like, okay, what's next, like type shit. And if I'm writing so much where I'm rereading and thinking about it, like, this shit not cold enough, like, and I'll just. Scrap it.

Yeah, so a lot of the time my studio sessions would be me like, oh, like, record this, hold on, let me come out, let me see how that sound, like type shit. Perfectionist. Yeah, perfectionist, bro. Perfectionist, like, even too, like, even with the person that I'm working with at the time, I'll be like, oh, yeah, it's cool. I'll go home and listen to me like this shit trash. I'm really recording that shit at another studio.

Like, you know, like... Sometimes that shit sounds hard as fuck. It really depends on, like, who you have in there and who, what energies are in there because... So you're big on energy. Yeah, big, bro. Some, like, uh, rest of the piece, my boy, 89, like, um, that was who I really, really fuck with. Like, you know, like, that food... That was your main engineer or...

A producer. That was my partner. That was basically going to be, like, my manager type shit. Yeah, you know, like, that was my everything. That was my, like, literally, like, one of my best friends, too. Like, that food took me in when I was hungry when I didn't have, like, nothing to eat. Like, you know, like, and that food believed in me so much. Like, so that's really, like, where I...

What age did you link up with him? How old was you? Shit, when was this, pop? Like, like, five years ago, 2019, no? Yeah, beginning of 2019. Okay. I met him through my boy Snoop. Shout out my boy Snoop.

She shoots all my videos and stuff, chat in with him. I made it through him And that first day we linked bro We made go sorting Like that first time And that shit hot Yeah good little game Appreciate that

But yeah Feathing my boy Y'all got to take that out But Him The Darren Vegas shit Like when I first started myself I was like cool

But I got real life shit going on So it's like whatever So it's hard That's another question that I want to ask you Like How do you how do you maneuver through your personal life and your rap life?

Like, how do you juggle both? I could put them together. Like... Speak on that a little bit. Because rap is what you're talking about, right? This is your life is what you're talking about. That's why I feel like... Excuse me.

But that's why I feel like I'm so different from all these other hoes because you can tell they're lying. Like, you could tell they lying. And then when people... Authentacy, not there. Bro, stop playing. Authenticity is not there. And when they ask you, like, where you ask me?

Talk about, like, oh, it's just crazy, bro. Like, bitch. There's no story. It's nothing, bro. It's nothing. Like, and bro, like, besides this rap shit, like, motherfuckers know who the fuck we is. Like, I don't care what nobody say, they know who the fuck. Our family is where our last name hold.

What I could do with my brothers. Everyone could do individually in my family type of shit, you know? So I'd give a fuck. What was the question? Sorry. I was getting mad. I was getting mad, man. This is your first interview.

You gotta show the people who you is. You know, they want to know who you is for real. No, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, for the... Juggling your personal life and your rap life. Yeah, yeah. Man, you gotta thugged.

Yeah, you gotta put that shit into your music. Like, some stuff, like, I will say, there's a lot of songs, like, real personal songs that have two... Like, sometimes you got to just do it for yourself. Like, fuck, like, don't, like, just... Just talk to yourself, like, you would want somebody to talk to you type shit. Like, so I would, like, kind of, like, talk, like...

Letter to my pop, shit like that. Like, it's all too, like, for me type shit. And when I want to, when y'all could get that side of me, then y'all get it. But it's like, the music has to be about shit. It's not going to feel authentic at all. What you're going to rap about? You're going to be like, oh, I'm going through this at home, but I'm going to talk about getting money and all this shit.

But I'm not getting the money. Yeah, like, what is you doing? Like, so, yeah. So how do you, speaking of that, how you feel about, like, the state of female rap, right? now you feel me speaking to that like how you feel about it um what do you think we need more of you feel like that's what's missing i think authenticity like i think a lot of hoes is lying like you can tell the way you talk you the way you standing the way you talking the way you looking like the way you so friendly with like you man what like i don't know but i think what

i think what i have that nobody else got is performance i bro i want to go to the Grammys. You perform your ass off. Thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. And that's just me. Imagine what I could do with. We're missing that from rap. Motherfuckers just staying there with the mic. Yeah, we need to bring the Michael Jackson's, Chris Browns, all that shit back. Like, I feel like that's what I bring as Vimo.

Like, bro, I could perform. Give me a whole fucking chore-like, bro, I could choreograph. I could do formation. Like, I could really put on the stage. Like, I could really perform. Like, I could put the mic down and set it off. With and with her first performances Speaking of that

Do you remember your first performance Where was it? Bro, it was okay It was ghost sortie, huh? That had to be Okay, okay, okay So That was when I was like

I'm gonna do this shit Our first go shorty thing like It was just invite only Come if we want to be in the real type shit Bro How many people we had in that motherfucker That shit was packed inside and out

And I was just like They was just fucking with us off the string Like I wasn't even really like If you knew me, you knew me. Right. But we just posted that shit one day, posted that shit one day, and then everybody was showing love for. Like, if I already had, like, did it.

Like, anything you do that you haven't done feels like you've made it. So when I had did that, bro, it was receiving me so much love. And it wasn't even a, it was a performance because it was for the video. Like, for the video, we had to perform. Ah, so you had a performance in the video and that was your first performance. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. But it felt like I was, like, it was my performance.

Like, it was our shit, but it felt like my real first performance because it was a gang of motherfuckers there. And in the video, you could see, like, everybody knew our shit. Like, they already knew, like, already knew the song, everything. So when I was looking at them do that shit, I was like, what the fuck? Like, okay, this shit's going to go. This shit going to go the right way. If we keep doing this shit off the muscle, it's going to go.

So I was like, yeah, this shit cool. See, that's far for sure, for sure, you feel me? Do you feel like you face any challenges? You feel me being in a male-dominated industry and you, you feel me, female rapper? You feel like you facing any challenges? I don't know. You know how many motherfuckers have, man. Speak on this.

I'm not going to say no names, but there's a lot of- I'm not going to. You got to. I'm going to say. Speak on that shit. There's a lot of rappers. I'm going to say no, I'm too. Y'all favorite rappers.

They're rappers, whatever. What's it called? You could tell they're not even with it like that either, but whatever. Some of them have hit me up before, too, to like get on the song and shit. I'll get on their song and I eat their ass up on that song and they won't release it. That's happened to you before? That's happened to me. That's happened to me before?

Has that happened to you? That's for sure happened to me before. Yeah, like, they'll be like, oh, no, they gassed me on my song. I'm not dropping that shit. I didn't have a nigga re-record his shit before, for sure, and be like, I'm going to send another verse. I'm going to redo it, you for me. I'm going to do that shit over type shit. Hell you got that's why I really like

When I do work with artists It hasn't happened a lot Because I really don't really care about working with artists A suspect except you We gotta do some shit, it's good But I really I always want to be like hands on So I feel like it's better for both to be in studio

Yeah, I don't like that email shit Like I really don't because What if I said? You can fuck with my mix, bro Like and that's happened to me too Like anytime Okay that The only reason I don't don't work with girl rappers,

it's because I haven't seen real authentic ones first. And because if I do see somebody that I do end up fucking with, then bitches would try to, like, do something to my mix or, like, try to make me sound like a little bit. I don't know. Or, like, they just want to release a song type shit. Like, you know, I guess you so. But it don't got to be like that.

We could be, like, we're in the same room and love each other, just like the dudes do it. But bitches is just like, mm-mm. But if y'all do something, see like real authentic bitches and like real hood bitches this. So you're at cinema away. Yeah. Do you feel like your personality show and your music?

Yeah. You think so? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I think I perform real well. You could tell when I'm talking to the camera. You know what I'm talking about. You know, like, that's why I too.

A lot of, like, I don't know. You could just tell when somebody's lying, fool. Like, so. And that's true of my, my voice, soon as that fool be on my head. Like, if it's not like a good, he's like, I'm not recording that. We do that again. Like, your energy's off.

Like, you know, he'd be on my head. So it really, like, whenever it does go good or I do jobs on it, it's because the team behind it was good, like, at that time, you know? Because, bro, how are you going to have, it's like a roller coaster. You're going to have, that motherfucker's going to go. But if one loose screw is off and that shit fall, the whole ride is going to fall. You get me? It got to be a working engine.

Everybody got to put their road. Yeah, exactly. So I feel like when I do it's because I feel like the time is right type of shit. No, I think that's fire. How do you handle criticism and negative shit when people be hating? I don't. I don't be on the internet. That's the problem.

Y'all motherfuckers got to get off the internet. Like, what the fuck? I don't be on the internet. I swear I got a real life. I take care of my brother's son sometimes, you know. I take care of my God kid, my God kid, my nephew, nieces. I help my mom. Like, we lost two people.

So I take care of the bills too. Like, that's why y'all bitch is always out. Y'all got money for that shit. Like, because y'all bitches don't pay no bills. Y'all not pay nobody else's bills. You're not doing nothing. So, you know, but the hate, I don't, I don't. Anybody would tell you, like, I will, like, I, the only time I'm on my phone is when I'm at work.

If I'm at home, I'm cleaning. I want my mom downstairs, like, talking, like. And if I ever do post it, I just put my phone, like, I'll post it and even I'll look at it later. And if I, and honestly, I don't really get hate like that. I get a lot of love. So if you are hating, you're just a hate him. That's right. Yeah.

You feel me? You just how to ask you from me. Because, you know, some people don't handle hate well, you know? No, I don't care. They let it get to him, let it bother him and shit. You know what I'm saying? I think it's good. That motherfuckers have examples.

So I don't care. Because you're not going to do that to me in real life. See, you heard it? You feel me? You feel me? Let's get into some more shit, man. You feel me? Because motherfuckers going to watch this and they're going to be like,

they know each other, you feel me. Let's tell her people how. They're talking like they harm me. You feel me? This family, for real, I didn't know her since I was like, what, like eight? Eight or nine some shit. Like since elementary school, you feel like that? No, for real.

I went to school with her for a long time. Y'all doesn't turn motherfuckers out from the skinny jeans made them turn fucking wear. Y'all was, man. And speak on this. Y'all was on some crazy thing. Boom. Baran's crazy, bro. Oh, shit, I said you were.

My bad. Okay, okay, let's not, let's not. What's it called? Well, fighting. Y'all, well, basically, I feel like y'all, we all really met because we're from the same area. Like, we all from the same area. Y'all, y'all clicked instantly. Like, he just brought this food home one day.

Like, what the fuck? I was like, I was okay. And then the first thing that my brother told me, I swear, I swear, my brother told me, this fool could get down. So I don't care. Like, you win me. Like, this fool could get down. And anybody could get down. Like, if you could get down, you're good.

Because you're not going to be no bitch when you're fucking with my brother. No, that's the fact. A lot of people would look at it's crazy because they're like, what is you doing with this baldhead man's kidding with the long socks? I'm like, this is my boy. And just like how he would do that, I would do the same time. I'm like, this little nigga got a heart. Nick, he's going to squabble with anything.

Ain't nobody going to tell us nothing. You feel me? Now, we met as kids. You know what I'm saying? So, like, damn, you feel me. Yeah. Me and your brother met. We was young as hell.

You feel me. My sister, met your sister. That had ended up getting into it. That's how we met too. That's how we met too. You remember that shit? Tell them. Bro.

We got stories for y'all. Yeah. That shit is crazy. Bro, let's not talk about when they fought. My little sister and her little sister. They was best friends. They was like best friends because it was the same age. They was like best friends.

It was like fucking six or seven. But it was so funny. Yeah, because when they had fought, bro, bro, it was so funny. I don't know what the fuck they was. fighting over. Some stupid kids shit. Yeah, I don't know. I think it was because Brenda had these beats, your sister had these beads in her hair.

And many was like, I want them. She took him off Brenda's hair and Brenda got mad. And then it's so funny, though, because they had got into it or whatever. Bro, that same day, they was making dances together in the corner. Like, they were so funny, like little kids stuff. Yeah. At that time, like, I'll tell you how I see it right. You for me.

Same. Her story and her brothers was similar to my. You know, my parents were together in South Central, niggas, some shit happened. We leave. We go to the valley type shit, nigga, and it was a culture shock, you feel me? Yeah.

And I remember, I was there first. Not like that, but you were probably one of the first blacks. Facts. Yeah, I was one of the only black people out there, you know what? Well, Marcus was black and white. And y'all was some of the only Hispanics out there, too. For sure, for sure. So when they land in the school, I remember like yesterday,

niggas, some ballhead niggas walking there looking like they twins, long-ass socks. I'm like, these niggas, for sure, from L.A. You feel me for selfish shows. Yeah. I end up getting, I never said nothing to him at first. You feel me, like we just, nigga, both would just, you feel me, look at each other through the classroom and shit, stare at each other and shit. We like, we could be friends.

Our sisters get into it and then make us talk because they got into it. Me and him, like, overseen the fight. You feel me? We understood, like, this is not our problem. They're from the fight. They handled it. We overseen it. It happened or whatever.

And it was cool. Elementary school. Yeah, we was in, we were in seven and her. Yeah, yeah Elementary school That's crazy Yeah we went to elementary school So you feel me

That's how I end up hanging out with her brother You feel me and that And low-key and Mount Gleet I don't even like saying I don't even like saying I don't even get to say that we got to go there

you know, whatever a nigga could. You know, I ain't rich. So, like, you feel me, whatever resources I can, you feel me? That's why we're in this motherfucker. You was already going crazy with your music shit, you know? So I felt like it was the time, you feel me, to bring you up here and, you know, and I bring all this shit up because we don't give a fuck about no views

and no shit like that. I know it's somebody who look like you, who going through some shit exactly like that. You know what I'm saying? And some motherfuckers to be something something that happened to them and they don't know how to react and honestly like i don't even like saying all that latino black shit but this is latino we are very i'm sure with y'all too you know but uh like y'all more outspoken when it comes to see like that like us we're more like don't say shit like you can't say nothing like keep that shit to itself like my mom's been begging me

to go to therapy like bro i'm still mess i'm still doing what the like i'm still doing what like you know it's begging me to go to the but it's just like it's not like how was you're gonna keep that shit to yourself. But it fucks you up. So I would recommend, like, if y'all could do it, you know? Because if I could really literally sit there and talk to it, I would. You know, but it's like, it's more so, like, did you go, did something like this happen to you? No.

All right, then what the fuck I'm talking to you about it for? Like, that's how I always felt, you know? And at the end of the day, I go home with this shit. Nobody else does. You know, I cry and I'm not by myself. so yeah yeah you want to you for me put y'all on game about you know

because motherfuckers are loose people don't know how to react you feel me niggas she's still doing her thing she's still doing music she ain't let this shit stop her you feel me and that's what I wanted to bring up an example of somebody who'll go through some hard ass shit keep pushing through keep doing their thing and keep staying consistent you know

yeah and I think that that you're a perfect example of that you know what I'm saying thank you for sure for sure you feel me so um you got any mixed tapes. We need some tapes. We need some albums. We need some shit. I know. Play me in with some producers, man. These motherfuckers suck. Oh, wait, though. Side out, um, lay on play, for real. Because that's the only motherfucker that I've heard since my boy, 89 pass. All right, let me talk about that

fool real quick for a little bit. Yeah, break that down too, because you said that was your first producer or your first engineer. Real, real producer where I went to sit down and I was like, oh, this shit. Okay, this shit real. Like, that fool... That's like your Metro booming and you're 21. Bro, what? He heard me right me like, what the fuck? Like he, he, he, He loves me. As soon as he remember, he embraced me, he loves me.

He's, I don't give a fuck about the money. I got all the equipment. I got, we're going to make this shit happen. I'm going to see you up there. Like, that fool ended up passing away. What happened? He had cancer. Yeah, he had cancer.

And it's fucked up, too, because the day, I found out my brother passed. That was February 15. 89 past February 20th. on 23 and 23 I really mean a lot

for me see that shit that too like a lot of people ask me like what we're so 23 like a lot of people

I get pain on a lot for that shit too so but it's not yeah it's my brother well I don't know

if you've seen but that fool had a tattoo on his hand on here and it was 23 and he would always be like

that's my lucky number like just saying and my brother Maricio would call him like why you get it 23 for like

what the fuck like he probably He probably like, you should have got some shit for the hood first. Yeah, like, what the hell? He was like, why didn't you get a 23? And then he was like, man, that's my lucky number. That's when I'm done.

And then, yeah, he passed away when he was 23. And then his birthday is 23. And then on the clock, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, right? If you point the clock to 2, 3, it's 215 the day he died. So it's like that, you know. It's some symbolic. Yeah, it's deeper than that. shit. Stop asking me wrong for him.

And then... But, um, now with the 89 shit, uh, that's why it's crazy too. Like, I think it is really like, because he passed away five days, three years later, five days after my brother. So it's all like, but yeah, that fool

believed in me so much, like, I'll talk, he'll go with me everywhere. He put me out to a lot of shit too. He's like, you're a female. Like, you got to be careful. Like, if you didn't see me, you would, if you see me, you seen him. basically. And that's what it was.

And that's why I'm not suddenly for nothing less. Uh-uh. And I know what the fuck I'm worried, and I know what I bring to the table. So if you can't match that, you gotta go. He's just a burden, like, type of shit.

But, yeah. That's the motherfucker that was like, you're not giving up. He would be in my ear every fucking day. Like, after even my brother passed, that day that my brother passed, he told me he had cancer. And I was like,

damn. He's like, I don't want, I'm not going to tell you this because, I'm going to tell you this right now because, you know, shit's already going down. Like, I, you know, that shit, that whole, he was still trying to work with me,

like we were still trying to get it when his bones wasn't hurting type of shit. Like, you know, man, I love that for what? Yeah, rest of piece eight nine, I love that for him. Most definitely, recipes, do you feel me? Yeah, I'm both of my people that you lost. So how do you stay motivated, you feel me, and inspired to continue making music and shit,

you feel, with all the hardships? My family. Yeah, you know, I keep treating myself like a regular motherfucker, but all these, like him, my hunger outside, my boy outside, everybody around me would be like, bro, what are you doing?

I just be like, bro, like, I don't care about that. Like, but it's like, now I'm starting to be like, now this shit, uh-uh, I'm done. I'm ready to start living in my purpose.

All right. And for a long time it was hard, you know, because you know, the shit that's going on. It is hard when you got other shit going on at home, but that's why you just got to... Put that shit into the music. That's when I use my ADHD and be like, you know? Start going crazy. Yeah, no for a lot. Yeah, you feel me?
