Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper, coolest podcasts on the world. And today, we got a young O'Block legend. Prince Drey in the building. How you feeling, man? Oh, good, boss. I'm screaming, get back. Yeah, man, it's good to have you on here. I feel like you've got an important history,
Starting point is 00:00:19 and you can fill us in on a lot of details about some crazy you've been around for and all that. All right. Yeah. So tell us a little bit about where you were born and what your childhood was like? I was born in Woodline. That's part of O Block, but it's probably like F-G-N-O-B-G-K-K,
Starting point is 00:00:37 okay. T-Y-M-B, 7, that we all in the same neighborhood. I was really born in the neighborhood, but I ain't stayed. I wasn't born in O-block. Okay. I just moved in O-block. At what age? Like, I think, like 12, like 11 or some shit.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Okay, so at 11 you move over there. life like before that though? It was still busing because I was still in the hood. Right, you were just like right over there? Yeah, I was still over there. Okay. But I just went in the old block. You see some crazy shit.
Starting point is 00:01:08 You see some crazy shit happening when you were a kid or? What? I seen him. Wild ass shit. I said, come up the block when they, he popped out of the car. I think he's as dead though.
Starting point is 00:01:21 He shot up a crib. I was probably like, I don't know, I probably like nine. And you just see him shoot a, up a crib and you're a kid and you don't even know that this is something that people do no i knew i knew i knew that was sick you know about drive-bys and whatnot but did you do you know who lived in the house yeah i knew who lived and like what went through your head as a nine-year-old as far as
Starting point is 00:01:45 you can remember another day so that was some regular shit it was shootings all the time i crib got shot up a couple times when we stayed like on sunny first like they intended to shoot up your crib Yeah, they did. Why would they do that? What kind of shit are you into? I'm assuming you weren't into shit as like a nine-year-old or whatever, but was your parents into some stuff?
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yeah, my whole family ganges. Really? Yeah. And did they tell you about that at a certain point? Or... That situation, no, it wasn't. It just... Some shit that happened to my people.
Starting point is 00:02:26 And I guess they figured out, like, damn, their people stay right up. Okay. They did that. I was younger. I probably like eight around that. But do you remember how your parents tried to, like, make sense of that to you? Did they try to explain to you why someone would do that,
Starting point is 00:02:42 or did they just act like it was just something really random that just took place? I was getting that nosy as hell, you know? So I just hearing what they were saying, but they ain't tell me that like that. Really? Yeah. Your parents are BDs? No. My parents are gangsters.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Really? Both of them. Your parents were both GEDES? Yeah. Wow. And so when you moved to O Block, was that a thing? What? That they, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:03:11 See, my dad, he was in jail for murder. Mm-hmm. I was with my dad at life, but then I went with him a lot when he got booked. At what age were you when he went away? I was probably like, around like 12, 11. And? Like my high. high school days.
Starting point is 00:03:33 He got out later. Really? So you know about the situation that took place that got him locked up? Nah. You never talked to you about it? Nah. Damn. But did it seem surprising to you as a kid, or was it not that shocking?
Starting point is 00:03:45 I ain't going to lie. I ain't, I ain't know what the fuck he was booked for. I used to be calling. I'm like, this ain't the answer. My man never said, like, he didn't hear for this. Then he called when they're in jail. It was later on in life when I found out what he was in jail for. How many years did he do?
Starting point is 00:04:07 I beat that bitching. I had nothing on her, no, no shit like that. So he beat it? They just put something on him. Yeah, you beat it. Wow, okay. When you moved to Oblock, was there like a reason? Was your parents going through any kind of changes in their life or anything?
Starting point is 00:04:25 I don't know. I'm going to move there. It was just another place to live. Yeah. It was just, she moved there. Yeah, and what was it like when you moved there? Was it different? Because O blocks is like majority of BDhood,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and if you said everybody that you was dealing with. Everywhere we lived was BD's, so I just adapted to everywhere we live. I ain't follow my mom in though. But I did. Every block we lived though was BD. It was a BD block? Yeah, everybody.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I seen a clip where F.B.G. Young said that y'all was like friends and stuff, he said that you flipped from GD to BD. Nah, I've never been GD. You seen me? You know you've seen that though, right? I said I did, you did grow up with young and shit. They're gonna lie. Mostly everybody you know was cool from wherever they're from.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Like with Reese and them from, it was some of the ops. They from there too. So all us grew up together, went to school with each other. And it was all good until when, like 2011 type time period? I ain't gonna like me and young. I start rock with him because my best. Yeah, it was a friend. Trying to stay like right.
Starting point is 00:05:35 He can, uh, my, my homie had died. He had got killed. Yeah. So, you know, Young was over there, but I was, I was in O Block. My homie, he was in O Block, but he was on the other side, too. Well, like on T-YMB, and I was going over there with him. So when he died, young fell into that. He was letting his people disrespect him.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Like, damn. It's your homie, too. But at the time, I guess folks were just, just where he is. So I just, I ain't, I ain't never had no problem. I just, like, nah. Just fell back off on him. So that's when you stopped communicating with Young? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Okay. So once you moved into Oblock, though, what was your perspective on it in terms of how different it was? Was it crazier than the places you had lived before? It was the same. That bitch was busing, but it was the same. Right. Was everybody just hanging out outside?
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah. What year was this that you moved there? It was probably like 20, 2000. It was right around right after TyWI died, right before TyW died. So it was like 2008. Okay. So who's TY? TY.
Starting point is 00:06:57 He was from the Hood. Yeah. TY and B. I heard of. Y'all know TY. All right. So this is, TY was from TY and B. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I went to school with all alone. I used to be around. Courtney and Cortez. Yeah, Faye Faye. Yeah, I used to be with them too. I grew up with them too. All right, for sure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:17 So you moved there, and then what kind of stuff were you into at that young age? You're getting in trouble a lot, or you were just chilling? I ain't got out of I was chilling. I always be chilling. You seem pretty chill. Everybody fuck with me. You don't be hearing no fuck shit on me, man, because I don't be. I ain't
Starting point is 00:07:35 feeling rar-r-r-r-witch just don't fuck with me ain't gonna fuck with you Who was outside An oblock at that time Or like who was the The people that were really popular In the area
Starting point is 00:07:44 That people at home might know Shit like OD Top was outside All the ones you know They was outside Big A That's my cousin Dizzle
Starting point is 00:08:00 Every All the guys Jay Money T-Roy Vaughn, but Vaughn wasn't, he was like back of four. In jail? Yeah. Now, around that time when I first came, he was like in Killer Ward,
Starting point is 00:08:17 and he was back over him, but he still stayed on the block. So you and Big A was actually like cousins? Yeah, that's my cousin. Oh, really? So, do you remember when OD got killed and what that was all like? Yeah, I was around when O got killed. You were like directly there? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I wasn't, I was right there. I just wasn't next to him. He got killed out the gate. I was inside the gate. Really? Yeah. And it was just somebody driving by? I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I don't remember like, there wasn't nobody driving by. Somebody just came to the cut. Right. So you remember when like everybody kind of made the decision to change the name? Yeah, it should happen right there. We was getting that O-E-N. Getting that O Block. It was all right there.
Starting point is 00:09:09 That same day? Probably like, no, not the same day. Niggas ain't thinking, man, we're for the name this bitch of Block. So, all right, can you walk us through that day? Because, like, OD plays a big part of it, and it becoming O Block. So, like, what was that day like for everybody when OD does? Man, that bitch felt crazy. That was shit.
Starting point is 00:09:27 That was really, like, one of the, that was one of the first losses. It lost Keita, but she ain't died from no gunshots, no shit like that. So that was really like a big-ass-loss for us. Around that time, that shit was sad. It was late night. Oh, so it was a late night time? Yeah. It's like around the time when, like, we had these security,
Starting point is 00:09:51 they ain't really want us on the block and shit. Like, if you ain't lived there, you ain't no resident. But niggas from her, they was kicking nigs out the block. So around this time, they was on that fuck shit, kicking nicks out the block. folks was on the bike and shit. Right. When I went to O'Block, I seen the security,
Starting point is 00:10:12 and I was like, oh, that's dope. They got security. I was like, the one-sat of security since then. Then I was kind of looking at the security thinking, like, what the fuck are they going to do, really?
Starting point is 00:10:22 Like, they're not really, like, like, it's not like the kind of security that you used to, like, a rapper having. It's just some random guy. Yeah, they're just standing in a booth. I'm sure they're cool, but they're not exactly intimidating. Like, y'all got relationships with someone in security.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Like, they know what's going on type shit. So, like, y'all cool with them or it's just like, nah, they're just the security for the O'block. It's a security for the neighborhood. They seemed to a little too cool, if you ask me. They looked like they were just hanging out. I don't know. Must be getting paid fucking a lot of money to be security for O'Block, right? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It got to be, right? All right. All right. All right. So you mentioned Kita, though, because the key to somebody that I hear, everyone, like, she seemed like she got a lot of love from everybody out from, I think, T. Roy used to talk about her, a tweet about her, Jay Money. So, like, who was Keita? And, like, what was the relationship she had with?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Keita, that was, like, Newop and Joey, that's their sister. And they got another brother named Devon. That's their sister, she just from the block. She just was somebody that originated from her that everybody knows. So when she died, she hurt everybody because that's somebody they're seeing. How did she die, though? It wasn't gun violence, man. No, no gun violence.
Starting point is 00:11:34 some national college. So you saw when Sosa started blowing up, that kind of changed the whole area? Yeah, I was around when Sosos was blowing up. When he blew up, man, that bitch was bossing. Really? What was the change? And it was bad and good.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Right. The good was like this round time, Instagram coming out. So everybody want to know, who the fuck is this? Who is this? Who is this? So they look into all us.
Starting point is 00:12:05 But the bad was when Keith come, there's going to be a hundred million police come out. Really? You got to watch that, uh, balls top and dirt. They got a video and you'll see that shit how they used to come out. Right. So the thing that happened then was more a problem with the cops and not like enemies coming through? That was busting. It was busting both ways.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Every day it was sick. So is that kind of weird for you to be like, oh, damn. and people care about me all of a sudden just because I live here. I ain't know that shit was crazy. Because really we wasn't looking at it like no trying to see like it wasn't nothing we was just doing.
Starting point is 00:12:51 That was something Keith was doing. He was rapping. That's something he wanted. For me, I was rapping, but I was just playing. Then when I seen Keith, I just took that shit serious. So you were rapping all the way back when he first popped out. Yeah, because it's early on, like from all the O'Block rappers, it seemed like you, Sosa, and Ballstock were like the main three early rappers.
Starting point is 00:13:17 It's other rappers like Ron Taylor, Gooch. But other than that, we was like... That was the main three. That was getting the recognition and stuff. So where do you think a lot of that influence came from? Because I think I seen one time where Waka Flocka came in Y'all Hood and stuff. So he was a big influence. on what y'all had going on.
Starting point is 00:13:37 You'd be saying like what motivate us, like who we was looking at? Yeah, like what rappers y'all was looking at at the time? It was our flocker, n'n, n'nit was all Gucci. N'n, it was all... I was out Pac-Man. Pac-Man, you know, that's... From King Louis?
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah, Pac-Man from Drill City. Even with line. Yeah, he started Drew. That's what they say, right? Drill, you know, it's just you telling your story. Yeah. Well, Pac-Man was the first person to really be... That was, like, pushing the drill.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Yeah, for sure. Then, that was really my influence, though. Pack, no. Because I was really around, so I'm seeing them, like, damn. I know him. He was blowing up. He was with, like, LEP, Bogus Boys. I remember them.
Starting point is 00:14:22 They used to be like Wayne and shit. Yeah, that was the whole era during the blogs. We were all in the blogs and shit, and that was, like, the hottest shit coming to Chicago at that time. Yeah, Chicago. They were, like, hot to twist it, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, that's one thing I fucked up when we interviewed Lil Reese.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I should have talked to him about Twista being in the fucking Us video or the traffic video. I forget which one it is, but Twisters is in the background. Traffic. I think I asked Twista about that a long time ago, so I already got his perspective on it, but I should have asked Risi the other day. Even Allie Boy, Allie Boy was somebody that was like hanging out with Chi Keefe and y'all back in the day. Early on, it's a vlog. Allie Boy had like a relationship with phone number from the Madbielder.
Starting point is 00:15:01 You know, that's like with Recy and Wood. and Vernon all they're from that's like cross street from O block yeah so Allie boy had a relationship with phone no from there I miss that he was so viral at that time like every week he was going viral for beating somebody up or hating on some dissing somebody it was crazy around like real style he told me he was gonna come up here soon so hopefully you know we'll make that happen yeah Allie boy we didn't forget you got to pull up but um okay so so so so blows up but then he kind of like leaves Chicago right away right that was because
Starting point is 00:15:37 situated like with the police right right for sure but like from your perspective as a person who's trying to make it as a rapper what did you think of that or like he blows up but then he's kind of he's out of there like right away see man I don't know I got like a different understand of shit I ain't see no wrong they don't leave right if you stand man you just gonna get pulled back into some shit Right. They're the cops or people trying to do something to you. Both very bad options.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Everything got around the board. Yeah. So I don't see no wrong. And they know the police is on his ass. They feel like he started everything was going on because the music. There's somebody that's blowing up. They're damn. So they're putting the blame on him. So they're on his ass. Yeah, for sure. So I don't see no wrong in that. They wouldn't even let a hologram of Sosa perform. You remember that? Yeah, I remember that. I think that shit was like Indiana, something shit. I was it? I thought that was in Chicago. That shit wasn't in there.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Really? Oh, that's confusing. They stopped that in Indiana, I think. Oh, okay. Yeah. With you being one of the early rappers from O'Block and stuff, how come you, how come she keef never really, like, attitude to, like, the whole GVE thing that he had going on,
Starting point is 00:16:56 you think? Like, what was the, what was more of y'all music relationship? Because y'all got songs, right? No, no, we haven't got no songs. Yeah, I got no songs, but I did him in the videos and stuff. and stuff. How can I never really did no music? What was that?
Starting point is 00:17:08 See, I really wasn't, I was rapping, but folks probably like, damn, Fos Ain Taze's here, but who did come was Frato, Frato Santana. That was like one of the first of the guys that had that was, like, coming from me and Top. Keith came with Top because Top was rapper,
Starting point is 00:17:28 Rapper. For me, I wasn't really, like, rapping, rapping, rapping. But I was rapping, though. So he probably like, damn, folks ain't taking this year. But once he left, that's when I was taking that shit to see it. When I was seeing, like, when I went to Folkrip and he did the Sit-Go video, I'm like, damn, I'm going to take this shit to see it.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Fos just made it out. So that's when I started taking the series. And that's when around the time, folks couldn't come, couldn't come, like, to a Chicago. Yeah. Because of the legal situation. But so like Ball Stop was like another person that he has like it seemed like he has a lot of influence on people in O Block and stuff And I seen him you and him hanging out a lot like what's your relationship with Ballstock?
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's my real brother right then Like is he older than you like you more younger than the most of them or me? Me, me Vine and Keith we like same age so yeah some of them so boss I was like the older guys Yeah he's like a he's like older brother I'm feeling now old Jay Manny and shit like that So if Bossop's your brother Then were you there When he ran up in Chief Keith's crib
Starting point is 00:18:39 You want to give us your perspective on that story? I don't know what you're talking about We always hear about that But nobody really wants to give too many details I don't know nothing about that For sure I don't know nothing about that Okay But that situation did change
Starting point is 00:18:55 How Chief and Bossop I guess Their friendship in the future? Because, I mean, it's on the internet. They talked about, like, something definitely went down. So I was always wondering, like,
Starting point is 00:19:07 how come she keeping boss type really don't hang out? That's the internet. You ain't never saying them to, seeing them two saying that. Social sad stuff, for sure. Yeah, but, you know, that's brothers, niggas, I agree. Okay, one thing you can say
Starting point is 00:19:22 about a lot of the Chicago dudes, when they beef with each other, they keep it really, really quiet. And when they beef with the other side, they keep it unbelievably not quiet. There's one thing that we notice all the time. Nobody will tell us the root of why Reese and Dirk aren't around each other or why Riescing around Sosa or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Nobody wants us talk about that shit, but then in terms of who they don't get along with, it feels like we know everything. It's free game, right? True. Have you ever noticed that? Is that something they tell you when you move to O'block? Well, look, though, man.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Man, all don't talk to each other. It's just y'all two get into it with each other. not fin to be on the internet time about so fuck you fuck you uh making now y'all brother so y'all gonna handle that situation yeah that's real and in the crea like you get into it your little brother so you ain't fin to go outside but like man fuck my little bro i'm gonna kill them or so shit yeah nah you go no that's right fight at home your mama gonna yell at you as soon as you beef with your girl and she goes online and starts talking about you to me it's over i yeah let's ask you about that what's your situation
Starting point is 00:20:31 That's what we're talking about you I don't answer too many questions I ask them I'm like DJ you Did I say the wrong one So what's your ties in the one Those though Because I've always
Starting point is 00:20:40 Like you got soldier Drey I've seen you with I think you was at Soldier Slim's Memorial or something I grew up out of that shit With my dad I used to be riding around
Starting point is 00:20:52 He'd be off like All New Orleans shit But then again You know I got family there too But as I'm growing That's when I'm learning that. So I had, man, my partner, Wayne P. That's who helped me with the book and shit.
Starting point is 00:21:07 That's my brother's shit right there. I had got a close relationship with him. Then I just ain't going to lie. That bitch changed my life. In the world, that bitch. So you were going back and forth when you were a kid? I started going back and forth like seven years ago. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Then I lived, moved out. Was it because you wanted to get a little? away from all the bullshit in Chicago, or what was your reason for wanting to be up there? I just, I just fuck with the culture. I just fuck with them, then. You know, my family, know, my grandma, I know from the South. So I wanted to go touch that bitch, and I grew up with the music and shit. So I wanted to go see what the fuck that shit was like.
Starting point is 00:21:47 But did you feel conflicted about moving? Because I feel like a lot of people from Chicago, if they move, they're almost kind of, like, embarrassed to be out of there, even if they move somewhere better. See, for me, man, look. That's New Orleans. That bitch, that bitch bustin. So it's not no, I'm going, I really ain't going to know where that was better than Chicago.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Yeah, New Orleans is down there. That bitch, that bitch, a murder cow. It's been a murder cow since the 90s and shit. Right. But so when you move there, you started being around some grimy shit? What you mean? That bitch, that bitch, bison. When I've been to New Orleans, it's just like, oh, this is a tourist.
Starting point is 00:22:29 ass place that I could just be posted in the hotel and they got nice restaurants and bars and shit like that I'm not going to the trenches I was I was in the in the trenches like I adapt to that bitch they love me out there right that's pretty my second home they think it's tight that you're from O block man fuck all that shit they they had died to me because I'm me right but yeah though you know that that shit carry away like but that shit don't really carry away like that Niggas love it.
Starting point is 00:23:00 They fuck me. Like, yeah, you're from there. It's about how you move and how you is. Right. Anybody can't. It doesn't matter who you. Like, I'm for O'block. If your character ain't adapting to this shit, they don't fuck with you.
Starting point is 00:23:15 They ain't you. Right. But, like, do you still stay there? In New Orleans? Yeah. Yeah, I'm still there. Okay. But you go back to Chicago much?
Starting point is 00:23:23 Yeah. My family there. Right. So I got to go. How often you go back to, like, O'block? I'm like, who the man got is at you? you go kick it with when you do go to O'block. Shit, all the guys that steal, E, Gleche,
Starting point is 00:23:36 E, like, E, Doug. I mean, Duke, whoever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody. When I go there, I ain't gonna lie that bitch. Motivate me. That bitch is. That's a different love.
Starting point is 00:23:49 That's a bit, I don't know, fuck. But every time I go to Chicago, I gotta go there. You gotta go visit the O-Touching. Got to it. So who's, like, the, who would you say, like, the closest friends that you got from Oblock or any cousins. You said you related to Big A, but like, that's it.
Starting point is 00:24:05 You said like any other cousins or relatives that live in O Block, but Big A was only. Dizzle, Polo. They're my cousins. But I ain't going to lie. I was close to, like, Top, me and Top, T. Roy, me and Vine. I got a relationship with all the guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:24 It's like different, but we all still close. No, it seemed like everybody, because I remember early on, I seen the Zach TV interview. So how did that, what was it like when y'all shot the Zach TV that day in Oblock and I seen you out there, Prince, no, boss top was out there, Big A was out there, that's the main people I can remember at that time. I ain't gonna, I really want to fuck with Zach at that time. I thought it was out of the police. Because you just weren't even used to people doing interviews.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Well, I wasn't used to this shit, so it's around that time. I wasn't, I wasn't shy. Niggins think I was shy, but I wasn't shy just with, wasn't fucking no cameras. I was just quiet. I ain't trust shit. How the fuck you're gonna come record us? But who called him over there? Who set that up for him?
Starting point is 00:25:09 He hit me. Oh, so you set it up, but then you still was a little like... But I was still like... The only reason why I did, because I seen L.A. do it. And L.A., and Rondo, they had this shit. So I'm like, I'm getting that, uh... Fuck it. So I did it.
Starting point is 00:25:24 But then when he came, I'm getting that... That nick, I asking too many of criminating that shit. But I'm just... I know how to go around the shit. But I was, I ain't gonna go out. I'm gonna fuck with the exact shit. Then I start fucking with him after that, though. So Vaughn came home in what, 2017, 2018?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Man, Vaughn was in and out. I ain't gonna, I don't remember the years like that. He did like four years right before he started to pop off as a rapper, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so when he got out, were you like anxiously away, him getting out because you guys were already friends at that point.

Starting point is 00:27:46 for a long guess time way before even he came overlap so you invented phoned him phone him yeah that's me when like what how did it come about you have any recollections of what this was like I don't know how it was just rob. Well, I don't like doing what other people do, so it just came phone numbers and been like, man, what the fuck is you talking about? Oh, man, I don't phone now, and I just never stopped. And I just seen people start seeing that shit. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:18 But then I seen them put that shit on hurt, man. Man, look, Hurd was my dog. Yeah, they're talking about Herbending up to that. Oh, really? Yeah, man. I think that was my mistakes. but there's no chance you're 100% sure you came up with it

Starting point is 00:31:39 And so are you spending a lot of time around Vaughn when he's moving around with Derek and stuff at that time? Like, when folks started, see me, I was away. I was, like, out of town and shit doing my thing. Folks were like, man, ooh, what the fuck you on? He was telling me like, man, start what you doing. Come back and come back and rap. So that's how I started back, like, staying focused on me. That's how the back again and shit came up.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I was just going to have to ask you about that. That's why that bitch called back again. Oh, really? Back outside? All right. I came back. So give a picture. I wasn't ever gone.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I was just doing what I was doing, making money and shit. Were y'all in the studio altogether when y'all did that track? How did it come up? Like, walk us through the making the back again? we was in that bitch dirt getting that come on so I'm like but you know me at dirt we've been had some

Starting point is 00:33:02 It was just dirt Then I went on that bitch First dirt just did the hook Then I went on Then Vime He like He's like You tweaking
Starting point is 00:33:13 An angle I thought that shit was weaks here Really You thought Vaughn versus Wooten I thought my shit was weird My verse went crazy But you did your verse First
Starting point is 00:33:20 Which is why in your verse You're not really dissing anybody By name or whatever But then on Vaughn's verse He's violated All his ops he don't dis-nobody period I just went off of what
Starting point is 00:33:30 What the fuck Dirk was in? Right I'm just I'm like Yeah they He getting that Man's that Then I'm like
Starting point is 00:33:39 I yeah I'm phone They wouldn't know where I've been at And I don't pop out like a ghost On the phone That's inside that shit Yeah that's showing crazy Right
Starting point is 00:33:47 But so What did you think When you were listening In Von's verse And it was just the most Disrespectful shit You could think of As foes
Starting point is 00:33:55 See me, I don't be doing that As opposed to, phone don't do that I don't be into that shit though But when y'all heard it, I know y'all was going crazy in the studio Like he was going crazy What? I'm damn, this bit It's tweaking on phone now I ain't gonna allow to change my shit
Starting point is 00:34:14 I heard that After you heard of the first, yeah, you're like, man They get in, you tweaking That shit ain't click on me Until when the project dropped then I'm getting that damn this bitching on my shit nah you're crazy on that shit
Starting point is 00:34:30 that's like one of my favorite joints for sure me too I listened to it today in the car and I immediately restarted it and listened to it again which I probably listened to it like 200 times in my life which it really says a lot
Starting point is 00:34:41 it's like a top five King Vaughn song any song he affiliated with that was the number one song that was the number one of my favorite joints for real I almost feel bad saying that's my favorite song though just because it's like the most violent, disrespectful song.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Hey, look, see you ain't trying to have no question. I see you put that bitch on your shit. What? On your little post. Oh, when I made that video? Yeah, man,
Starting point is 00:35:04 people were laughing like, oh, my God, not the King Vaughn's song. Oh, no. I'm damn, he tweaking. I know you've seen a video
Starting point is 00:35:13 when everybody was in O Block and they was rapping and this was after Vaughn died and the old was... That shit motivated. Oh, damn. I know you felt... You had to get goosebumps
Starting point is 00:35:22 I had to say it. I had to chill. I just want to say I caught the cheese. It was crazy, like the energy that, you know what I'm saying, Vaughn left. So, like, how you feel about the mural and stuff? Like, you've been outside to go see it and shit already? I've seen that. For sure.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I ain't going to lie, really. I don't be, I just be, damn, folks. So where were you at when you heard the news that Vaughn passed away? I was around, but I wasn't right there, though. You were going to Atlanta, too, that night? Yeah. Yeah. So you didn't have a clue that he was actually going to the other lounge?
Starting point is 00:35:52 I ain't gonna lie. I ain't no folks got shot until all that shit was over. Like the next day time? Where were you at? Where were you at when it happened? I was there. I just wasn't right right there. So you were like around in the area?
Starting point is 00:36:04 You were like in one of the cars that was driving around? It was a lot of people out there. It's crazy because like we talked to DJU and Bezoo and they both were like at hotels in the area and both heard it happening. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. That's basically I heard it and I'm running into it, but I'm seeing.
Starting point is 00:36:22 and everybody running. So I'm like, damn, should I run to that shit? It was like some shit stopping. Like, hell, no, he tripping. So I'm just trying to see you, pay attention to everything.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Then when that shit over it, everybody panicking and shit. That shit over with. They're getting that. Folks got hit. What? That's how that shit was. So you went with him to the hospital?
Starting point is 00:36:52 No, I didn't go. going up to the hospital. I just went for no. And then I got the call. We had got the call. Never. I just had it. One thing in the new Traplow Ross documentary
Starting point is 00:37:07 that I had forgotten about or didn't know about was that Kwanda was at the same hospital, at the same exact time. And he went on live, and then Bezu did an Instagram post basically calling him a pussy because he went on live basically because he was scared.
Starting point is 00:37:22 That was, his accusation. Yeah, he went on live helping little Tim get to the hospital. I don't remember seeing that. But isn't that a weird thing to do? Like, you're rushing your home into the hospital and you, like, hop on Instagram live in the hospital?
Starting point is 00:37:32 I don't know about that. I know you probably don't want to. So you didn't have any relationship? Because a lot of y'all was hanging out with Kondo, Rondo, and NBA young boy before any of that happened. Like, Dirt and Vaughn, like, at one point, Dirk said NBA Youngboy was his favorite rapper. And I know I've seen videos of King Vaughn,
Starting point is 00:37:48 like, hanging out with Cuando, like, in the studio and stuff. Like, you wasn't there for any of those studio sessions? or anything? No, I ain't never seen, no, you ain't never really messing. You have used to listening young boy music at the time? Yeah, I was. I ain't going to lie about that shit like that. I was listening to him when he first came out.
Starting point is 00:38:03 The night all that shit happened, they were driving around listening to Young Boy. There's like videos of it and shit. You got to watch the rest of the Trappler documentary. Yeah, I got to finish the Trappler documentary. I ain't never seen this. I don't see that. It just came out.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Yeah, you probably hated it. So you didn't see the Trailer Roy's King Vaughan documentary? Yeah, no. No, but you heard about it. at least alright I just kept me in I ain't know What about
Starting point is 00:38:25 What about any of the Chicago scene 88 I know you hear about him a lot too Ain't gonna lie Folk phone don't be mad I don't be on the internet Oh yeah I don't even be controlled My Instagram
Starting point is 00:38:35 Oh yeah So you're just not interested I don't like that shit I don't know what What would my life be like If I didn't watch shit on YouTube All the time I don't even know
Starting point is 00:38:46 Only how I hear shit is It's from somebody around So what are you doing on a day-to-day basis You just got so many girls that you're dealing with That you can't be on YouTube I got kids on phone I got a girl I'd be chilling
Starting point is 00:38:59 I'd be working I'd be trying to figure it out Writing books Yeah I wrote a book So what's the name of these books And where can they get them? Yeah That bitch's gonna be on Amazon
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah Bonds and O Surviving OBLG Definitely is like a title That needed to happen at some point For sure Gotta get that bitch I'll tell you what's good
Starting point is 00:39:21 I grew up No, for sure How long it take you to write this Or did you work with like a co-author on it or anything? I ain't gonna lie I was working that bitch For like For like two
Starting point is 00:39:33 Two and a half years Some shit like that Really? I started out just Writing down the The content Like the chapter's names Yeah, no
Starting point is 00:39:47 This is dope I should really want to read this But were you talented at writing When you're in school Or was this like a totally new challenge to you. I was cool at school, but I ain't going to lie. I don't know that shit just came in mind.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Like, man, look, niggas ain't writing books. I'm going to write a book. Right. Trencher's News actually got a book on the way, too, that he's been promoting. Surviving Drill or something like that, right? How to Survive Chicago or something like that. Similar title, yeah. I ain't reading that school.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Are you familiar with Trenches News? Yeah, I know about that. Like, do you know him personally? Because he's somebody that was actually interested in. Chicago like at the time like he said you know a lot like Lil Reese recently just said on the DJU interview that the stories that he tell about little Reese is true and that he's seen DJU I mean he's seen trenches out and about in Chicago is that somebody you ever ran into or man I remember him because he used to he used to fuck with one of the my guys that stayed in my
Starting point is 00:40:47 build he used to fuck with his mom's so I used to see him oh so you did see him personally Would you, so how do you feel about him being one of the cooperators? People allegedly saying he's cooperator one on the FBG Duck case that's going on right now. I don't know. I don't know. Who's doing what? I don't know. But you, yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:08 How you feel about when Sun-Times dropped the headline that King Vaughn had $100,000 on VG Duck's head? Man, they're going to make all types of stuff. So, all right. The big thing they... No, that's the media. That's what they got to do. That's the media. That's what they do, right? All right.
Starting point is 00:41:25 They got to make stories up and go by. Yeah. So, King Vaughn passed out chains in Oblock, and this was before the Sun-Time shit. But they saying that him passing out money in O-block is a reason why they gave... They even had the intentions on writing that article saying that he ended out 100,000.
Starting point is 00:41:46 But that O-block chain that Chah got was something that he just did randomly just off the strength type. shit. Man, that shit was for being brown folks and just, you know, we've brought us. We come from nothing. We're from Oblock. We, we in this bitch, roaches, mice,
Starting point is 00:42:06 bareblood, all type of shit. And Obloch, Jay Hood didn't get one, so that's why they kind of fell out. You familiar with Jay Hood? Yeah, I know, but I don't know. How do you feel about the stories he be saying? I don't pay attention to that either. Yeah, yeah, but he is somebody that actually is King Vaughn's cousin and somebody that was in old.
Starting point is 00:42:27 He said he's not cousin, but childhood friend. Like he said he used to sleep over Vaughn House all the time. And I think he said he know you. Yeah, he's from there for sure. He's lived in that, yeah. So how many Oblock chains are in that document or the vlog with Asian dog? Were you in that actual vlog? Obloat.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Where he passed out the chain? He got the big blue coat, shiny-ass coat. No, no. I didn't. That was in the video? No, not, or was it silver?
Starting point is 00:42:57 It might have been a silver. I remember he had a loud-ass coat. I remember he had a loud-ass coat. Oh, that's when he just passed out money. He didn't pass out the chains that day, right? Yeah. He went to ice box in the land. But that just,
Starting point is 00:43:06 that's just, that just, he just, he made, he got some money, man. I'm getting to my brothers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:16 All that shit, daytime. Fuck the daytime. Are they sure. That's talking shit. Yeah, that's for the media. So they're trying to build a case So they're going to put whatever
Starting point is 00:43:25 To make it seem like it's true So after Vaughn passed though Like everybody just went back to their lives Like what do you even do after something like that goes down You're all out of town at the moment Shit look right man Niggas lose people Every day all day
Starting point is 00:43:47 And man life be still going on just, what you want to say? I went to go do this hell now, man. Niggas ain't, niggas just gotta figure life out, got to keep going. We lose people every day, all day. No, yeah, definitely. Nah, some people did.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Fucking 600 Breezy and Mimo 600. They drove to Savannah, Georgia, and shot a music video. You seen that? Like, right after all that shit happened. I ain't see none of that. Yeah, they went out there just shoot a music video type shit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:21 You know, trolling and shit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that never seemed like a great idea to me. Yeah, out of town. You don't know what's going on out there, man. That seems like a weird idea. What's your relationship like with little Reese? I know y'all are cool.
Starting point is 00:44:34 That's my dog. I'm fine. I was from the block, too. Yeah. What a block, which means? Because he's from Lameron tight. He's from O'Block, too. Because he out there all the time?

Starting point is 00:45:37 Yeah, like, just going to school with them or... I just from St. Nade, well, phone them from down the street, but, you know, it just... I used to be going down there with them with me and T. Yon and B and phone down. from the block. You know, they got, they on, in Washington Park neighborhood, so they had the

Starting point is 00:46:31 Wait, but you signed to him at one point? No. But. You said I signed to him. All right, so the word was that you signed to him or someone forged your signature. You know what I'm saying? That's what you were saying. Trench's news says your signature was forging that you really never actually signed to Lennon.
Starting point is 00:46:48 I had a son. with get-back game then he he oh man first time about so I signed papers with 100K but I never did I signed papers with get-back game he was basically saying it's the same thing and he over it so he's saying that he owned the rights to your shit because you signed a get-back gang is what he's trying to say right he was basically saying 100K was yeah he was so he owns the LLC did that or Vaughn like who who started get back in? Von.

So have you actually done any business with track since then? Since then. In terms of your music and everything? Since what?
Starting point is 00:47:42 The love internet shit. Since you signed? I had did a project with him and the distribution of company. Uh-huh. Yeah. So the relationship is not really just Minning you just try to finish up your obligations and just get up out of that
Starting point is 00:47:55 I ain't based to him I ain't got no problem man He still got boss top and everybody that he's still Managing right I think he still managed boss top and I know he was dealing with Mubop too I don't know who he managed no more I've known track forever
Starting point is 00:48:11 And when he walked in with Vonn My jaw like dropped Because I just knew him as Mellie's guy And I like as a Florida dude Because he did all this shit with Kodagger earlier and then he walks in with Vaughn and I'm just like what the fuck I'm like you managing everybody now like what's going on I was kind of shocked but so you you don't have a relationship currently I'm guessing no problem with him okay we just

Starting point is 00:52:40 But, you know, he got that. I don't know. But they say all type of shit drill now. I don't be no what the fuck they're talking about. drill is what do you consider but but also drill in Chicago is violent yes
Starting point is 00:52:55 but drill in New York is way more violent like it's literally like every fucking bar is like smoking on somebody's cousin it's kind of crazy the way New York shit is like how London shit sounds that was that was like the style Herb and
Starting point is 00:53:11 I was doing back in those times but herbinger was doing the DJL shit then I had like the sound of that shit too but I had got beats from niggas from London way before London came out with their drill shit and I guess
Starting point is 00:53:28 that's when they all did that shit that sound but drill drill is Pac-Man and King Yvonne that's drill right there yeah but it's evolved and changed so much over the years so it's just
Starting point is 00:53:42 he impact the movement of the drill but drill like So you'll put Vaughn over Sosa? With the drill? All right, if you had a name, your top three to the top five drill rappers right now, who would you name?
Starting point is 00:53:59 Drill rappers? From Chicago. From Chicago? I'm gonna put Pac-Man. All right. Vaughn. Damn, man. Hell, probably a great.
Starting point is 00:54:13 We got Vaughn, who else? I got it though, Keith, because Keith, keep spread the drill movement to the world. Yeah, we might not. be having this conversation if it wasn't for him. Yeah, so yeah, you wouldn't know me, if he wasn't know her, you wouldn't know a lot of us everyone for Keith, but
Starting point is 00:54:29 I got through Pac-Man because he created, yeah. I need two more then. Does Dirk not come to mind because his music has kind of gone so far beyond drill at this point? Man, their guy's own style, man. I ain't know. I said, it's it.
Starting point is 00:54:46 It's drilled, though, because, but No, I don't know. So he ain't in that top spot. So give me two more. I put Dirk as a top five artist. But drill rappers I put, when it comes to rap, see, I don't know, man. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:55:08 I put pack, Vaugh, me. Got to put yourself on the list. Otherwise, what's the point? Put sosa in there, so that's four. We just need more than. Damn, I gotta put Sosa. I put a... Give us an op.
Starting point is 00:55:29 A op. You gotta at least get some of... Man. Even if y'all fought with them, there's someone the rest... I ain't gonna say... I don't... I listen to everything. I'm gonna...
Starting point is 00:55:38 I want to hear what the fuck people talking about. So which one of the ops that got good music that you're like, I can recognize, like, he's still decent? Somebody that's decent? That you can still, like, you can honor. You can respect their music and shit. Even if they're saying them from your son. I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:55:51 I don't, let me get somebody from my house, a little more. I can listen to him. He'd be tweaking. Best current G.D. rapper. Like Chicago. I don't know. I don't be listening to them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I think Ruga is probably going to take it. Let's be real. You probably got the best music out of any of them. I don't know. I ain't going on list. I listen to, like, what the fuck come out? I got to see what the fuck going on. I want to hear what people saying.
Starting point is 00:56:21 other than that I don't be on the internet so I'm a list to the music Was you ever around Y and W. Melly being around track? I ain't never been around Melley I ain't never been around Mellon. I talked to matter

Starting point is 00:57:00 I ain't gonna like out got my shit done. Right after folks got killed. Because folks getting that mad, you getting that. We had a little plan that shit. Me and Vaughn said, he getting that, ooh, we're gonna do this. You got to go get your tea. You getting that. What the fuck, what I'm gonna say?
Starting point is 00:57:18 You get that, boy, you ain't no ugly nigga, boy. You go get your teeth up. They ain't gonna really love. I don't get no fuck about no TV I had my I had money to do it I just ain't get no fuck But I'm like Pay for it or he just told you he just motivated you to do it

Starting point is 00:57:50 Man I'm in the hood I was in the hood. I didn't get no fuck about no teeth. Yeah. My mama was still in it. What the fuck I care about my mouth? But if you want to be a rapper and shit,
Starting point is 00:57:59 like I don't know. If you have fucked up teeth, people just look at you like you're a crackhead or something. It's not fair, but it's, you know, a lot. You go to England, everybody got fucked up teeth out there.
Starting point is 00:58:08 But in America, like, we just judge people so hard for having fucked up teeth. I'm going to go get, go look at your teeth. Go get your teeth done. Look at your teeth done. Like, damn bitch you were just
Starting point is 00:58:19 telling me, going to get my shit done. Look at your teeth. How you're doing everybody else shit? How much you spent on? That bit is like 20. Yeah, it's 20 feet. You ever getting in a fight and get cracked in your shit?
Starting point is 00:58:33 How's that feel? I ain't gonna let my girl just hit me in my shit. I'm fucking crazy. I remember having braces and it was like the worst thing in the world getting punched in the face because your braces were like smash into your lip and it would hurt and cut your shit up in the face. I was going to get braces, but I'm like, man, that shit hurt. Yeah, if you got the money, you might as well just. And also, I feel like braces could end up costing 20K
Starting point is 00:58:56 over the course of like three years. And that's a long gas process. You probably got to wait 20 years to your shit. And you look like shit while you have the braces just so you can look better in the future. Whereas what you get veneers? That's serious. That shit hurt, though.
Starting point is 00:59:10 I've seen a picture of you and Aesab Yams on FaceTime. Yeah, my dog. How did Aesab Yams and you get connected? That's a random thing. That is crazy. Aisai Yams. He was trying to make me Aesop. In what years? Like 2012?
Starting point is 00:59:24 Around like 2012, 13. How did y'all even get in tune? How he discovered you? I ain't going to lie. He had mentioned me on Twitter getting that Prince Ray. I don't know. A lot of people mentioned me around that time.
Starting point is 00:59:39 He getting that. He did won. Bro, there's so many rappers from, especially the early days of no jumper. So many people that I would talk to, and this was after games passed, but so many people would be like, yeah, and Yams started talking to me.
Starting point is 00:59:53 And like after Rocky popped off, Yams was on it. He was talking to so many different people and trying to figure out who his next artists were going to be and shit, and then he just kind of died in the middle of all that. He was on my ass too. He was like,
Starting point is 01:00:08 you leave. Come, he's like, I'm getting that. Fuck it. Then he died. Yams was a real visionary. He had the vision for sure. He was like, he was going to be A-Sab,
Starting point is 01:00:20 The real vision, though, that a lot of people, like, don't remember is that Yams basically, like, got famous on Tumblr just from posting, like, cool fucking... But of other people and, like, oh, here's, like, a fucking Fubu ad from an issue of the source from 1995. He'd be posting all this kind of shit, and then finally, like, Rocky was ready, and then he premiered Rocky on his Tumblr, and then Rocky just blew the fuck up from then. And we were all like, oh, what? Like you could just get popping on Tumblr and then use your Tumblr to get your artist popping. Like we could not believe. It's basically like a version of Twitter and shit from back in the day. I think I know.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I think I remember seeing that. Like when you're sharing a video on YouTube. Yeah, you could share images and videos and shit on it. But back in the day, it was kind of, I don't know, it had a vibe to it. It was like a lot of girls were on it. That's why it stood out so much that Tumble, the Yams was using it because it was like a lot of girls were using at that time and shit. Like, there was more for that, but he just got popping on there. But, so you ever actually meet him, or you just FaceTimed and shit?
Starting point is 01:01:24 He was always just on the phone. I had met one of Drake people's, too. He had, he didn't want to actually have brought my passport. He's like, man, go get your passport. I was still in O'block. I was still living in O'block. Do you remember who? Drake's crew?
Starting point is 01:01:44 I forgot for his name. He was from over there, though. Why don't I want you to get a passport? He wanted me to come to the... I guess they had some type of... It was some party or some shit on the yacht or some shit. He's like, man, come fly out here.
Starting point is 01:01:59 I was like, man, I can't fly no way. I ain't got no fast. And I was young to see him too. He had paid for that bitch. I think I just turned 18, too, though. Yeah, it was me and J.B. Yeah, sent the money to get our shit. Then he died.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Damn. I don't know. Do you ever feel like you're kind of, like, fucked up in the head from having lost so many people when you were young? I ain't going to lie. I'd be people like, man, you need to go to counseling. I don't need no counselor. I just said it's going to.
Starting point is 01:02:32 I'm getting that. Why would I want to pay somebody that never been through no shit I've been through? I'd go talk to my grandma and some shit. That'd be cool. I would say give it a shot. Therapy definitely could help you get your mind right, but I feel you. I know. I mean, you know what it is that makes me really.
Starting point is 01:02:49 realize how fucked up in the head we are at this point is when somebody that I know loses somebody and I see how bad it fucks them up and they're like they're like depressed for like weeks and shit and that's when I realize like oh shit like when people die you know it just doesn't like hit the same when you lost so many people that you know you know angle I don't even I don't even cry no more that shit don't like at first like I ain't a lot of real time I last I cried was when T. Roy got killed. Really? I remember I had cried on the porch.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I had got the call. I'm like, never. But then again, I just kept, I was been losing. I'm like, when I started traveling and shit, seeing shit, I'm like, the phone made it out. So I look at like, we in hell, they made it out this bitch, so that shit don't hurt me no more. So by the time Vaughn passed away, you was already to know?
Starting point is 01:03:47 I ain't gonna lie, I ain't even. I ain't crying with my dad. That shit ain't hit me until my mama called. Mm. Because that bitch, I was blue. I was full of gray. I was mad, so I was mad because I couldn't cry. Then my mama called.
Starting point is 01:04:03 She's getting that. Why, you ain't nice and she getting that. Ooh, she's talking. I just started crying. I was, damn. That's the last time I cried, though, for real. How do you feel about the new report? that you're saying that maybe the police actually shot the fatal shots to
