No, Jumper.
Coolest podcast in the world.
And today I have the legendary shoreline mafia with me.
You guys have been asking me to do this interview for, like, as long as I can remember,
and we're finally here.
The whole gang.
It was a tough negotiation to figure out who's going to sit at the table exactly,
because you guys don't exactly roll with a small crew.
Hey, shout out, buggy, though.
Yeah.
Buggie from the squad.
You know, I've been listening to you guys a lot,
and I really feel like I learned a lot about Lean from you guys.
We sponsored by Sprite.
Yeah.
Oh, are you really?
That's how this works.
Yeah, dude.
Cut us the checks, right?
It's crazy because you guys are all up in the news now.
You guys are the poster boys for Lean.
We told them we didn't even want to do all that.
They asked us about it.
We told them we didn't want to do it.
Well, that was a strategy in its own way, right?
Like, you know, no, we ain't going to talk to you about it.
They just took that shit around with it.
We told them like, yeah, I don't know.
How did that even happen?
How did they first get in touch about it?
They DM, my homie, Frankie.
And I DM no one trip, and they emailed him.
They was like, yo, it's Fox.
We want to do a story on your guys's music.
And I said, what? Fox art music?
I was like, y'all tripping.
I was like, this definitely ain't going to be nothing cool.
I was like, it ain't vice.
It ain't noisy.
It's nothing cool.
It's Fox.
I'm like, we're not doing it.
And then they called Frankie and they like, first I thought it was fake.
And they called Frankie Yose Fox.
We were trying to get in contact with y'all.
And I was like, no, I'm cool.
I'm straight.
And then they was like, all right, we're going to use some of your music anyways.
I said, whatever.
The whole motherfucking story was on this.
I was like, what?
And they tripped.
And there was no music.
They didn't even.
Show our music.
Yeah, that show her videos, but they were just talking shit.
They were talking amazing.
I'm fucking, though.
Shout out Box 11.
It's so weird because I could think of about 5 million other rappers that have serious
lean problems and are communicating it through videos.
Why, you guys?
I mean, well, okay, to be fair, you guys do seem to go harder with it than pretty much
anybody, I'm going to be honest.
Yeah, I don't know why they chose us.
Niggins been rapping about lean for ages.
Decades.
And it feels like it's more popular now than it never was.
The shit is taking over the world.
Yeah, exactly.
They're about to have it in 7-11.
and shit. Anyway, we need
a little bit of a backstory. Can we go around
just the crew here? I mean, when we go
outside, we have a million more people that we need
names and identities for, but let's go around
the table real quick. And you want
to get him in here first just so we could be orderly
here? One nigga, Ron Ron the producer.
So you produced the majority of the stuff?
He produced the whole tape.
Can you point the mic right of your mouth?
See, I should have done this before.
I produced the whole tape.
Adam 22, always doing this.
I always got a point of to people.
Yeah, just pull it in.
You produced the whole tape.
How long you know in these guys?
You've been with them since day one or what?
No, they actually stole my beat.
They stole your beat.
That's how this started?
Wait, maybe we should get that story out of the way
before we move on here.
I was looking for some like West Coast type beats
because we've always done all other types of beats.
Yeah, like, and then I was like, well,
it's on you right.
We do some West Coast show.
We're from the West Coast.
So I'm looking for beats.
specifically his type of beats.
I'm like looking for run-round type beats.
And then I find his SoundCloud.
He has like old beats that he had posted.
So I just took one off the SoundCloud,
converted that shit, the YouTube, MP3 shit.
And then we wrapped on it.
That shit started just booming right away.
You still joking producers or no?
Yeah, yeah.
Hell yeah.
I'll go on YouTube.
But for the past months, we've just been working on Ron Round.
So I ain't had to, I had to need to look for any beats.
This guy got every type of beat.
Hey, shout out him off.
He got every type of beat.
Shout out all the other producers that produced for showline, man.
Yeah, any producer ever took your beat, I fuck with you.
Oh, okay, finish.
You next up.
Let's get a little introduction here.
Yeah.
Well, me and this nigga basically started this shit, like, I don't know what, like four years ago, something like that.
Okay.
Like right, like the end of high school type shit.
Is your childhood friends?
Yeah.
Like high school friends?
Yeah.
Early high school.
Okay.
So how did you guys become friends in high school?
Are you smoking weed, fingering girls in the bathroom or whatever?
Tagging and shit.
Tagging?
Oh, yeah, because you guys are graph kids, right?
Yeah, so I'm from some crew.
Him and his homies, him and his hummys on a, uh, that was like, that was younger.
He's a few years younger than me.
So I brought them all around, put them up on game, and we just became stupid tight.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
And we, we wasn't rapping and doing really nothing.
We were just like going crazy.
We were just like, you know, stealing, fucking bad shit.
Stealing.
That's what high school is all about.
stealing graffiti people don't talk about that shit everybody's like oh I sold crack in high
school it's like nah spray paint and stealing candy bars yeah my babies is kicking
deep yeah breaking in condos and shit oh you guys run that all right you guys different than me then yeah
yeah running up in homes so you guys graduated high school together um I graduated from
nah we went to different high schools but um I finished at a continuation school yeah I finished from like
a home school type shit I went to Hollywood high and then I got kicked out of there and
finished at like some homeschool type shit did you skate uh i tried to skate i mean i skate around
i'm i skate around everywhere i used to okay but um i never like got into doing tricks and shit
but everyone i was around skated yeah it's weird i just be around nothing but skaters
hollywood high is like the most legendary skate school yeah i would just post in the front with all the
skaters yeah just kick it shit that's like one of the spots where we would kick it up me
most definitely right there in the very front by the end of out yeah yeah exactly yeah
were you guys uh yeah i wasn't i wasn't in that much lean you graduated
Whenever it would come around, you feel me?
Yeah.
But not, but when I learn how to get it, like...
I still don't understand how to get it.
You want to put me on game?
Oh, no.
Even my friend, I'm good.
I can't even smoke weed.
I'm too old.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, even like my friends I know who sell lean,
I'm still kind of like confused on how they get it with any sort of regularity.
No, yeah.
It's impressive.
It is what it is.
You got to be like a modern-day fucking superhero to find out of it.
All right, OGs, you want to give us.
introduction here?
O. GZ, young O.GZ.
The Sprite remixer.
You know who the fuck it is.
Shit, yeah, really all I do.
The Cairo, Captain.
I just really came from
selling drugs, skating around,
tagging, doing all types of fun shit, you feel me?
And you're not white.
No, I'm not white.
That seems to everybody's question about you.
Why is the white kids said that anywhere?
Yeah, no, everyone would be confusing me with a white boy.
I'm not white.
Yeah, people don't understand because they are from
California they don't know it's a thin line
really speak Spanish it's a thin
line between says the N-word and doesn't say
that legally yeah
all right next introduction
what up is cato mastakato the bitcoin
bandit
yeah man I'm from Chicago
I moved out here like 12 years ago
I know this I met this nigga OGs that fucking
rock the bells
oh yeah one of my niggas from our crew introduced me there
this nigga free for show
introduced me to him and
shit ever since
we've been kicking shit and then
I just doing it's wrong you know what I'm saying
just think about me on
how does that work at this point
like who how big is the official crew
because you got like 50,000 dudes out here right now
it's us rapping
Rob, Cato
Phoenix, Boogie
and everyone else is just gang
everyone from the same crews
we either from the same tagging crews
and you know
filming just everyone gang bang do something
amazing
All right final introduction
We're well connected
Bitch, I'm Rob Vicious.
Big vicious.
Yop got a stick in it.
So how'd you become associated?
Shit.
How'd you get put on?
Motherfucking, this nigga old Gigi started following me back when I first first started
like thinking about rapping.
And I linked up with Phoenix and shit.
It's just been gang gang gang ever since, for real.
Who was living over there?
I moved out there.
I had like, my girlfriend was pregnant, so I was living out there.
My ex-girlfriend at the time.
You know, my baby mama type of shit.
It was kicking it tough after me.
Like around the corner, we was making music, every day type of shit.
And then that's basically how it came about with him joining the group and shit.
Can you take me through what it was like being graffiti kids, like in L.A. at that time?
Yeah, man.
That shit's crazy, man.
Just fighting, getting hit with bottles, getting stabbed.
That shit, honestly, like, gang banging in some sort of way.
That shit is.
Yeah.
It's like, it's gang banging for beginners.
Yeah.
You know, like, you know, I feel like everyone that does graffiti in L.A.
definitely has a family gang-banging background.
It's like the nicer version of it.
It's like you might not have to kill somebody.
You just run around to write your name of some shit.
That's just, yeah.
Nah, but they're killed.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's a crazy.
I mean, really, when you think about it,
the people who do graffiti a lot of times
are the most fucked up people, period,
because they're completely, like,
their whole passion is something that's secretive
that they can't really tell anybody
besides a little friends group, you know?
Exactly.
Yeah.
So do you guys still tag and shit?
You get away from it?
Yeah, I can catch a tag here in there.
I know a niggas see me.
Have you seen my name?
Me, I was in that shit like some high school shit.
Yeah, I'm probably the only one that, well...
But this niggas, but he's nice.
From the rapper niggas, I'm probably the only one that still, like,
catch the tag here and there.
And then all my other hummus from Shoreline.
It's shit fine.
He did this shit, the show not do there.
Oh, yeah, I did the little script on the mixtape cover.
Oh, okay, that shit, that's hard.
You see, you see, did you get what the mixtape cover was?
It was a script.
It was a script.
It was a doctor script.
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
I did the little hand style, and then I wrote, like, what you would write to get some lean.
How'd you get a blank script?
Nothing.
It's regular.
I had to, I had to, I had to, my niger, Ron had to change the hospital.
It came from, too.
We changed it to put a shoreline, whatever the fuck the hospital was.
Yeah, we changed the actual hospital.
That's tight.
All right, so, but, so when you guys officially started hanging out, you guys, were you selling drugs,
you started hanging out or like yeah yeah i've always like always that was always a thing to do
what was your upbringing like that that got you into that uh my dad used to sell jays and you knew about
as a kid yeah yeah but uh my dad got locked up for like a real long time and at what age i was never
i was probably like eight maybe if i'm correct and then i probably didn't see him against i was like
14 15 and then he came back into my life and shit and he was like trying to tell me what to do and
shit. I'm like, but I don't even know you really. Like, I didn't grow up with you. So, yeah, me and him
never got too close. And then, like, a few years ago, maybe when I was like 17, 18, he got
another case and he got deported because he had so many cases. Oh, shit. So he's back in Mexico.
Whoa. So you were born here, though? Yeah, yeah, I was born here. My mom wasn't born here either.
She came here when she was like 13, 14.
Damn, really? Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. All right. So, Phoenix? My mom, I'm a hustler. I got it from her.
Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, me what, like my upbringing type shit?
Yeah, like what kind of upbringing type shit?
Ah, shit, man, like, I was with my pops and shit mainly.
Like, I grew up with my mom when I was like, like, younger and shit.
But, like, she kind of fell out the picture on some other shit, like when I was probably about like five, six.
And I just lived with my father.
And moved up here in like second grade.
And just went to school up here and shit.
Fucking high school came and I was just like, nah, niggas just wasn't feeling it, man.
I just wasn't going to school and shit.
I just occupied with other shit.
Just fucking round.
You had to figure how to make a living when you were young,
or were you just bagging in trouble for no reason?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, niggas never was, like, getting money in high school until, like, you know,
probably like around two years after, a couple years after,
you feel me, niggas just got on some money shit.
Like, you know how to get shit cracking.
So we're doing it the right way, getting it done.
So when did rap and become part of the pitcher?
Man, like...
That shit was random.
Yeah.
He, I made a song.
And really, the song I made,
I was, like, fresh out of high school.
still in high school.
And I was just talking about all the crews and shit.
I literally made a song with the name of every person in the crew I was in.
Oh, okay.
And then Phoenix was like, well, you rap?
I was like, yeah.
I mean, I guess I'm trying.
I just recorded straight off a laptop, like talking into a laptop.
And then he's like, well, let's do a song.
And then I got a mic.
Me and here did one song.
Everyone was really fucking with it.
So we just kept it going from there.
That show was going crazy.
We were tripping out.
It was like, yeah.
It was like 100 plays in like a week
And it was like, oh, we're young
It was like, I was like that's it
That's funny though
A hundred plays feels like a lot
When you're in that position, you know?
I remember when we got our first thousand
In like a month I was like oh
Yeah, I was like man, this shit over with
We take it off this I was like it's right here
Yeah, we just been rapping ever since
You guys were just grinding for years though
Before you actually experienced like real success
We were good in our fan blades
Played slowly so I feel like our fan base is like
Really loyal
Hell yeah
Yeah
Like it's insane the extent to which
I've just heard about you from the
fans over the years like like it's been ridiculous like when I realized how you guys actually hadn't
really been like popping off for that long I was like damn I've been hearing about him since
fucking day one because the fans are so passionate about it you know yeah yeah yeah he's putting
everyone on yeah so when what was the song uh was it musty was the first big song that started to blow
up there we go how that happened beat out round around the producer mostly okay okay okay
it really happened through fans because we have no cosines no we ain't ever dick row nobody
nobody ever give us a shout out like it just happened
It was just blowing up on the song.
I seen the video, I was just like, these niggas hard.
I was like, let's work.
Yeah, the video is crazy.
But that was the first song that got any kind of attention?
Was that your first video?
That wasn't our first.
It was like our third video, but the other videos we, like, never took our time with them.
It was just some random kicking in the backyard or so shit.
So I took them motherfuckers down.
I was like, that's weak.
That video wasn't anything extra really either.
I'm pretty sure the song is what made it what it is.
Yeah, it's just the song.
That video was just a chilling.
Yeah.
influenced by and why do you think you make the kind of music that you do?
I'm definitely influenced by a lot of people.
I thought I can make a touch of music.
Yeah.
36 Mafia.
Let me see.
I've taught future.
He make bangers all day.
Hell yeah.
Future for show.
All tight.
I fuck with the, I fuck with so much music, bro.
Like, I just feel like I get influenced from everywhere, everywhere.
So I feel like we talk a lot of shit that other rappers will talk just on West Coast
Coast Beach.
So I feel like that's what's the only difference.
You feel me?
I don't think it's ever been any of the West Coast artists
that does shit like this on these beats.
Right, yeah.
Because, I mean, there is such a crazy history of, like,
West Coast hip-hop, like street rap in particular,
but I feel like you guys kind of are representing, like,
a different side of that.
Yeah, it's like, it's like, it's like,
rowdy kids just growing up.
It's like every other kid in LA.
That's why people fuck with you guys, yeah.
Yeah, that's what the kids love us here.
They love it, they eat that shit up.
Because a lot of times gangster rappers in LA
want to act super grown.
You know?
Everybody trying to be so hard.
We're just doing, we just regular.
It's regular.
Yeah.
Diggas be getting mad at us because we just, we just keep it so jeez.
You look around, so, I don't know why.
You could get gang deep with this bunch of us, a bunch of young niggas.
Yeah, it's young niggas.
Yeah.
Yeah, you guys are all fucking deep, though.
We got a crazy-ass crew motherfuckers out here.
Oh, it's so multicultural, though.
That's like actually the craziest thing about y'all.
Everyone's regular in L.A.
It is regular in L.A., yeah, but people don't think that.
Blacks, Asians, everything.
I mean, because, like, yeah, niggas go to, Armenians.
We all be at, we be just, like, you know,
niggas just go to school and shit niggas meet people like that you feel
me it's just like in LA the schools are having all types of races it's not like this is one race
but do you think that they like get along or do they just have to be around each other
I didn't go to high school out here so I don't know yeah yeah you just get in where you fit in for
real yeah that's good yeah that's one thing that's probably another thing that makes people
attracted to what you guys have going on because it just feels like a very real authentic
you know it kind of reminds me more like a street version of like when odd future came out
You know, it's a little bit more gritty, a little bit more.
But that's why they popped off so crazy is because they really represented like,
oh, this is what it's like to be like a kid who skateboards and hangs out in
LA.
Yeah.
I'm saying.
Music definitely different, I'll say.
Oh, hell yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I'm interested.
What are your influences in terms of why you make the kind of music?
Yeah, man.
When I started rapping, I was just, uh, yeah, 36 Mafia Future when I was younger, I was
like Bont Dugs and Harmony.
I was like in middle school and shit.
Man.
Gucci, when early on, and then like Duel Santana, all that shit too.
I was definitely diff set.
This is heavy too.
When I first met in like, you know, we was just on like the same type shit.
Yeah, I feel like a, like, uh, it's not that, even though it seems like it, a bunch of kids in LA don't have the same interest.
Like, say music-wise, I feel like I'm probably like one of the only kids that went to my high school that it was into shit like I was, you feel me?
They're not really into like real, I guess if it's not like real mainstream, like on the radio and shit, they're not into that.
Yeah.
People forget that like to be a real like hardcore rap fans like a different thing than to just like listen to rap on the radio or some shit.
You know, I know so many people that listen to rap, but it's like, you know, they put on like the rap caviar playlist on Spotify and they don't really ever think about.
And it's weird to think that that person is listening to somebody talk about selling drugs and shit all day.
And he don't even know that that's, he's not thinking about that.
He's like the beats and shit.
crazy like the hardest songs be about the most grimy as shit
motherfuckers don't even know like damn yeah and i'm like too
conscious of it i'd be listening to like a 21 savage song in the mall and i'm like i can't
believe they're allowed to play this shit you know it's like this shit is really offensive
yeah anyway so uh when do you guys become complete and total lean heads let's talk about
that because that's what you guys fucking talk you guys have put me on a lot of game with the lean
shit when uh when script busting became a havoc oh okay how do you bust the script anyway
I need to figure that out before I can fully get on the game.
Yo, doctor, write it for you.
You know, you're sick.
You got a cough.
You got to take, I think, like two to four teaspoons every hour.
Shit, I don't know nothing about it.
You all ever had to act?
Yeah, yeah.
You just had some back the day.
Really?
Yeah, we just had some.
Where does that shit come from?
Random places.
You got to find it.
Your grandma's medicine, cam.
Hey, great, grandma might have some.
Check her cabinets and DM me if you find it.
Oh, God.
I got you.
I got you.
Shout out Frankie Danks, though.
Shout out, Frankie Danks.
Shut up, a nigga Frankie Dakey.
He keeps us, pove.
So you guys don't remember, but legend,
well, you might remember,
but legend has it that, like,
Justin Bieber, like, overdosed on act,
and that's why it got taken away.
You guys are going to do the same thing.
He fucked it up for us.
Oh, God.
He fucked everything up, bro.
It's because, uh,
I hope you hear this.
He too, he's way too mainstream to be doing shit like that.
And his audience is, like, Disney Channel kids.
So for him to be coming out of Berlin,
it's all bad.
Certain people just shouldn't be allowed to, you know.
You got to pretend it's wine.
Someone should have that shit all his end.
Exactly.
That's good.
You guys ever get served some fake lien?
No.
No.
You ever serve somebody some fake lien?
Yeah.
Okay, finesse.
Let's hear about it.
How you do this?
How you pull it up?
You screw a hole in the bottom?
I've seen somebody do that one time.
You got to jig them for them pipes because they ain't going to know who sealed them, you feel me?
Okay.
I hit them with the K-roll.
You got hit them with the Z-Quil.
You feel me?
Every once in a while if I feel good, you know what I'm saying?
I might throw a little Xanax and that one of the thing.
Oh.
Wait a minute.
Wait, so how's this work?
You take the fucking fake lien and throw a Zanin?
Man, bro.
It's so many ways to get money, man.
Okay.
Put me on, man.
I got to make some money.
What's up?
All right.
So look, check this out.
I ain't going to give you the recipe.
I need the whole thing, bro.
No, no, no, no, man.
Because I got that straight drop, dude.
My doctor hooked me up.
Like, nah, that's that RobVis's a special boy.
A raw viz's remix.
That's that reroy.
Hey, shout of everybody that bought that fake lien for me, though.
I love you.
You paid my bills.
That's crazy. Do people ever try to buy
drugs with fake money too? Because my friend
had a broken collarbone yesterday is like a dude
tried to give me $700 and fake hundreds for
a quarter pound and then I had to chase after
my broke my collarbone.
Yeah? I've got it like a fake 20 before.
Really? I got a fake 10 one time.
7-Eleven knew. The lady at 7-11 was like, no, get this away from me.
You know it's funny? Another drug dealer pointed
it out to me. I was buying some shit from him.
I'm getting a little re-up. He's like, yo, this is a fake 20.
I'm like, oh. I'd be pissed about
in the fake hundred because the hundreds is what they actually check you know uh i got a i got a i got a
i took that shit to a 99 cents to her and just uh i think i knew one of the bitches working there
so that's what i need i said hey this shit i need a counterfeiter on here but wear a mask and all that
shit i don't up in here i mean we talked to a lot of people who like do drugs or sell drugs but what about
counterfeit and that could be a lot more lit don't you think that's federal
too deep a lot of this shit is federal i'm assuming don't even play with that shit no i shouldn't do that
Don't even play with that man.
I was thinking about making a video where I mailed the pounds of the East Coast, too.
Oh, you're tripping.
You don't think?
Because no matter what, they're not going to be able to prove I really did it.
Oh, you know, I'm getting kicked out my building for the whole Fox News segment.
You got kicked out for it?
They were not having it.
They're like fun drugs in the building.
I guess that's a good point, though, actually.
They had video of like inside, like type shit.
That shit's just on some crazy shit.
They met.
Wow.
So the apartment came to you.
So what do you have to do?
You got to just get a new apartment?
and hope they never figure out who you are.
Exactly.
Wow, that's fucking foul, man.
It is foul.
I feel bad for you on that front.
We better blow up, though, so.
But it's not major.
Nothing major.
Not major.
Do you feel like you're under surveillance at this point?
I heard you were.
Shit, I might be.
You getting paranoid now, or have you seen, like, actual evidence?
No, I mean, I'm not, I'm kicking it.
I'm kicking shit, so I'm not doing nothing too crazy.
I'm not doing nothing while.
Show money.
So I don't even give a fuck if they're watching me right now.
Yeah.
shit. We ain't doing nothing. We're rappers, bro.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You feel me? We just rap.
You guys had like a sold-out show in the OC this weekend?
Oh, yeah. That's our first headline in the show. Sold out.
That show was crazy. That show was crazy.
Came out off the Mali.
My Mali and that shit peaked right when I walked out.
Everyone had their phones out, so my eyes were just going crazy. I can't see anyone's face.
I just seen lights. I was like, ooh, yeah.
You were on the Mali, too?
Hell yeah.
Every single
single person
was like Molly.
Everybody around us
squad, gang, all that.
See, people probably think
that's not as common as it is.
No.
I know a handful of rappers
do that's the way
they get through a show.
I mean,
I'm not saying
that's like what we do
every show,
but this time
it was just like,
what's it?
It's a big show.
Why not I enjoy it more?
Exactly.
Not even that.
It was like,
yeah,
I guess,
fuck it.
Yeah, we did it.
You guys take Molly
like by the pill,
though?
Because like last time
I took a Molly,
me and my girl,
where it got so fucked up, I had to go home right away
and fuck her because I was turning into like a monster.
I can stop grabbing at her and shit.
That happens.
I mean like that.
I'm good.
I ain't swallowing up and capping my own, Molly.
I don't trust other people.
I don't know what those says, none of that shit.
Molly's the secret though, bro.
I know if I give my girl Molly, not get a slipper,
but like say you want to take this that we could get into some methody shit, you know?
We go to the club.
We're going to be leaving with some girls because she's going to be all motivated.
of Molly, you know?
I ain't even had to bust this trick out in a few months.
It's been a while.
But Molly out of her dream.
She didn't even know it.
No, that's why I started thinking about right away.
I'm like, no, no, she knows it.
First thing I thought about that, didn't he?
I don't know.
That's a weird lyric, though.
Like, put a Molly in a girl's drink.
She's probably just going to be weirded out.
Like, what the fuck is happening?
She's going to be rolling.
Like, how am I rolling?
Yeah.
She ain't going to fuck you.
It's not like you black out of my life.
She don't be like, what the fuck is going on?
I'm going on.
That's why it was.
So weird.
Amazing. You guys fuck with the Zans and everything too?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
O-TX. Off the Zans, gangs.
That's one of my crews right there. O'Ree.
Oh, for real?
After Zane, gang, gang.
You do drugs when you're doing graffiti missions?
I feel like everyone.
Pretty much, that's how you be catching some crazy-ass shit.
You just be drugged out like no one's going to stop me right now.
That's probably how motherfuckers are dying, falling off freeways and shit.
I got up, huh, food?
Chiling.
Wait, so is the whole graffiti scene out here Mexican?
No.
He just goes straight into the accent.
I don't tag with, it's like, it's like, yeah.
It's a lot.
But there's some black taggers out there, though?
Yeah, definitely.
My nigga rack them.
Being dub, you know.
Shut on my nigga.
But most of the time, fool, they're like, dude.
My nigga retro.
I don't know, Rachel.
Shout out all those fools, Don.
You guys feel like you get a lot of love, like, in L.A. from the streets?
Or you feel like you still got an online love.
We get a lot of streets, man.
Yeah, fuck all that in the street.
We got a lot of, like, motherfuckers.
It's because, in L.A., everyone's really well connected.
So if someone fucks with you, then you know each other sometime in a way everyone fucks with each other.
You know, like, people, niggers talk and shit, you know.
I mean, people think they're some shit, but it's really not.
And people, like, people fuck with us and they end result, you, you know.
Yeah, people fuck with us because a lot of, a lot of people do know us.
Yeah.
They know what you do.
That is the fucked up thing about you guys is that your numbers online don't reflect the crazy
as numbers on YouTube and the crazy ass number in your shows.
You know, like you guys have a real like actual fan base in the streets.
That's all like brand new.
All the views, all the attention is really brand new.
Like we've been new, like I've said, like you said, we've been putting our music for
a couple of years, you feel me?
So like when did Mustie really start blowing up?
How long was it?
No, no, what was that a year ago?
It's only been out for like, since.
March maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it started blowing up like maybe three months after dropping it.
It hit a million on SoundCloud.
We were tripping.
That was our first million.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It seemed like, when it was getting to the million, I was like, oh, we got to do a video.
We did the video.
It hit the million prior once the video dropped.
And then the video started getting stupid views.
I'm like, this is crazy.
Yeah, man, that's funny.
Like your first million on video, that's just like some real life shit.
Like, oh, damn, this is not a joke at all.
Like, this is a real thing.
That shit got a quartermill just this week.
Yeah.
That's insane.
The numbers on town car going stupid.
It's looking at that shit going crazy right now.
That's crazy.
So, yeah, the reactions to the lean story, though,
have you felt like a ton of people came out of the woodward talking to you guys about this and shit or not?
Man, it's really not even that big.
It's not even a big deal like that.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I feel like that shit just, I don't know, Fox just gave us a little shout out.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like academics giving you a shot.
Shoutout.
World's talking to shut out.
I look at the Fox fucks with my music, the staff over then.
They're like, yo, let's put them on.
They probably do.
You know, you made a good point.
You're saying, oh, yeah.
It was a nice little shout-up.
Now, you made a good point, though, about just how a lot of people know you guys and
fuck you guys, because it's my OG, TK over here has been showing me love since day one
that you guys been messing with him.
How'd out TK and Picasso?
Yeah, how'd you meet those guys?
We met, he's, he manages Rom-Rong, so he reached it.
T-K.
You want to talk to the mic?
Give us a little description.
D.K. was trying to press.
He's like, who took my nigga?
Beaked.
So look, this is what happened.
So I got with Ron Ron.
And I'm like, nigga, what you got?
They got numbers.
So he, shout out to the Sting team.
We're going through everything that we doing.
Woo-W.
And then he said, hey, I fuck with these kids.
And he gave it to me.
And me and Picasso, we was like, what the fuck?
These niggas going crazy.
I was like, this shit is insane.
I'm like, do you fuck with these niggas?
He's like, yeah.
And so then I hear O.GZ.
So I FaceTime old Gizi and I don't know if I was like, hey, nigger woo wooo-woo,
and he was like, fuck that.
And he ain't hit me back.
I'm like hit me back the next day.
He hit me back.
So I hit Ron Ron, like, Ron, what's up with your boy?
And he like, shit, I'm gonna hit him.
So he hit him back.
Face-timed.
He faced-tined him when I was in the studio and shit.
We pulled up on him and I seen it was real because one of the things I do want to say that's going
to fuck America up in about six months is that everything's
It started in California, good and bad.
Crack, carjacking, gangs.
Everything for the last 30 years started in Cali.
The type of graffiti we're on, everything started in LA.
So it hasn't been motherfuckers like this from rap, like in rap.
Like, when you talk about our future at the end of the day,
our future was still assimilating to like, they was trying to bring like urban kids
in a skateboard and just shit like that.
This is not it, man.
Like, it's 50 motherfuckers in the back.
So, like I said, getting off a tour bus in Nebraska, getting off a tour bus in Detroit.
Like, I'm talking, I'm in tune with the streets.
So I'm talking to my niggas in Detroit.
I'm talking to the niggas in Brooklyn.
And it's going to be crazy.
So it all started with Ron Ron and them just having what they was doing.
I just had to shout that out because them niggas stole a beat and it created a whole wave.
So that just showed them how the shit works.
Exactly.
Shout out TK&P.
It was two beats.
Bottle Service, too.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, word.
We did both Mustie and Bottle Service the same day.
The same night, yeah, the same night.
But you just put out the video for Bottle Service.
Yeah.
That shit is fire.
It's got all the crazy-ass hood cameos.
Yeah.
You got Dub in there, like playing a lien dealer, which must have been really hard for him.
I don't know what that was.
It must have been really hard for him.
I don't know how he, I didn't know he was an actor.
I don't know.
Shout out voice though, voice.
Get down.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's our voice for filming that show.
Whose idea was it to do the lean in the champagne bottle?
Is that really happened?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay.
All real, lean.
Oh, my name of Tony.
Real bottles, right.
We spent money into that.
Oh, yeah.
I spent, we spent...
Like, $1,000.
Around $2,000 for alcohol that day just to pour it out.
Not one, not one sip of alcohol was taking.
She was supposed to be in, like, a nice-ass-cri-old.
We got some nice-ass-reve-old.
We got a nice career for the video, and we got kicked out.
What for?
Nothing.
The way we look.
They walked in,
flipped there,
so they came back type of shit.
Like,
you found me like to check on the crib
and then like,
it was like a hundred niggas
and that motherfucker
that was like,
oh my God.
Y'all got to get the fuck up out of here.
That's so crazy.
We just trying to stay up in there
though we was on the phone
trying to work it out
because like they was like,
yeah,
we had already paid type shit.
That's crazy.
I feel like if you're going to Airbnb
out your house in L.A.,
you got to be expecting some rappers
to show it from time to time, right?
Yeah.
Especially in the crib.
We was in my mama, bro.
That's all people are doing in Airbnb's.
I bet they wouldn't even have Airbnb
out here if it wasn't for that.
That was like the first idea of the big of a book.
If you're not going to fuck it up.
That shit still come out far.
We end up doing it in the donut show.
Oh yeah, we did it in the donut show.
That was the first thing I said.
I was like, they get a permit for that.
They're like, no, they just took it over.
50 niggas in the donuts show.
No, they fuck with us at the donut shop.
Oh, they fog with you?
I thought there was like a really, really upset Korean lady standing back there.
The Korean homie was in the back smoking.
Oh, okay.
In the back, you can't see him.
You line got the juice, man.
That's fire, yeah.
He was happy.
He said he probably sold a lot of donuts that day.
Hey, if the donut shop fucks with you on the streets really do love these.
That's what you said.
That's crazy.
Yeah, see, TK, when he wrote down in the description of you guys before he wrote,
multi-ethnic unit from East Hollywood Slums, the low-rent apartment section,
the Mexican and Armenian hoods of Western until you get to Silver Lake.
Saying a little Armenian.
Yeah.
So, explaining the Armenian culture to the people out there because my girl's Armenian.
She always told me, like, don't ever say anything about them because they'll kill you.
No, the whole, Armenians are really close.
Shout out all my office.
Two of my Armenian homies out here from Shorla, they're right outside.
O.V.
Shout out of Huln V.
They're really close.
You know, every Armenian, almost, I don't know about every,
but pretty much every Armenian in L.A. is listening to us right now because of my homie.
It's like a tight-knit community.
Like, everyone knows each other and it's like really family-oriented.
So someone fucks for something.
Everyone fucks or something.
Everywhere I go, I'd be running into Armenians.
It'll be fucking with my music.
That shit crazy.
That's crazy, yeah.
Yeah, I'll be driving around.
Everybody would be bumping that shot, but I'd just be driving around.
I'll be hearing that shit and cars and shit.
Yeah, especially since that new tape came out.
I've been banging that.
That's why.
I was just picking my mom's up from her crib yesterday, and I parked, and someone
passes right by me playing the tape.
I'm like, what?
That's crazy.
Does your parents understand, like, hip-op-in you guys are yet?
I haven't seen my dad or mom, but my mom just started seeing everything
going on? She's like, what? She's like, this what you've been doing?
My mom think I'm fucking still doing drugs. She thinks, oh, my name is like, do drugs,
is gangbangers and shit. My mom, my mom fuck with the whole movement, though. She loved it.
My mom supports me. She had everything I do.
You think your mom understands lean? She knows what you're doing?
Yeah, definitely. One time I was sick, she's like, how you so sick? All you do is drink
cough syrup.
Hey, yeah, yeah. We should record his mom's script. That's what we made most of the first song.
Oh, yeah, that's where we started recording.
My mom's crib.
My mom had bought a crib, yeah.
And we would just drive out there, and that's where we started recording.
That was the only place we had to go.
You got a son of the footage of the shows, though, because I feel like that's the thing that really-
Blanked.
She was just amazed.
She's like, she's happy as fuck.
Yeah, that's what changed my mom.
Like, yeah, she really believing in me.
It must be such a weird thing for a parent to go from thinking their kid is just doing drugs
to doing drugs to doing drugs.
Yeah, you feel me?
Exactly.
It's a thin line.
My mom thought I was a fucking train wreck.
few years ago you feel me she's but uh i mean this way i plan this all in my head i had this all
figured yeah i knew this was gonna happen from the big game when we started we started it for like a
reason like you know she just had to hang through it right yeah so when you really think about what
the purpose is and you guys creating music you feel like you're speaking on behalf of your community
do you feel like you just have something you have to say i feel like it's millions of kids just like us
you feel yeah millions of them everywhere not just here i feel like it's
everywhere.
Every kid doing the same shit, turning up the same way.
You just want to do drugs and turn up?
Yeah.
That's what it is, what it is to be a kid these days, apparently.
Yeah, there's so much fucked up shit going on in the world that I feel like, you know,
kids just want to smoke blunts and fucking get fucked up because they just feel like what the
fuck else I'm going to do.
That's a good-ass music that make you feel like you a latinig.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not saying, I wouldn't like encourage that on nobody, but like, if you're doing it.
What you say to like a young fan who was telling you like, oh, I'm about to start doing lean because you guys and say there's that one rare moment.
I know.
Yeah, for real.
And you can't afford it.
So you can't afford it.
You can't get it.
So don't do it.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
For what?
For what?
Fuck your life up.
For what?
You got any friends or stay away from it completely?
Yeah.
A few friends.
Lots of them or a few of them.
You got some of them.
Because it's crazy, we got a homie who work out like every day and shit and he'd be pouring
up.
No jokes.
Really?
But he'd be Ake Mali time.
Molly's time. Molly rocking.
Yeah, those workout dudes love him all.
Oh, okay, okay.
He's pulled up.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to the gym every day.
Every day.
No, no.
One of my homies, Chris.
He poked up every night.
He poked up every night.
He poked up every night.
He hit the gym, daytime pulled up in.
He inspired me.
He made me want to hit the gym and hit the devil cup out.
Yeah, that too.
I just started, I got a personal trainer, and it's like,
I'll be fucked up the night before and then doing it.
And it's like so much hard to do it.
working out, but you're, like, beating the hangover
out of yourself when you're lifting weights or whatever.
I give it up to people who can do that shit, man.
I give it up to you guys for being able to do all those drugs
and still be able to fucking walk around and function,
because I don't know if I can handle all that.
I drink a line and a half, and I'm gone.
For a week.
I'll be doing a lot of jobs.
You're slipping one.
I just be stepping sometimes.
I was just stepping sometimes smoking weed.
That's about it.
Yeah.
Back then, hell yeah.
Like high school, hell of bars.

i feel like zanax has got to be the most popular thing in the fucking world
with these kids yeah that shit is so bad i don't know that was crazy

That nigga pays.
That nigga pays so, heck, hard.
Yeah, they are as fun.
I felt kind of bad because when I did that Hoodrich interview, he had Paco with him and I didn't know about him yet.
And it's like, it's always weird when you ask somebody.
For the longest.
And so it blows my mind when people don't know rappers that are that good, bro.

And Future is so, I love that future is so mainstream and so many people are listening
in it.
I'm like, this is crazy.

It's crazy.
I love that shit.
I like that too, yeah.
I'm trying to be.

We're about to be everywhere.
It's about to be everywhere. What's the plan? What's the takeover? You just put
out this mixtape? I just put out this mix tape.
We're going to let the streets do what it do and it's going to blow
the fuck up. It's going to take us where we need a beat.
She's already going up as it is.
And then from there, videos lined up.
We're going to take over the world.
Do you guys all put out solo projects and shit?
Or people in the crew do from time to time?
Basically, we just dropped singles.
This is the first project we ever.
Oh, no, no, no.
These, Rob and Phoenix had put a project together.
Right.
A little EP.
But this was the first group.
Like a project right here.
He had another project too.
I always felt like I didn't want to put out a project until I was getting the buzz I needed.
I wanted the project to be appreciated.
I didn't like that shit.
And I feel like this project we just put out is going to get the appreciation and needs.
Releasing it on like a platform like this is like way different.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm hyped.
I feel like this is like, there's a lot of people in L.A.
that really would fuck with you guys
that just need to get put on
so I felt like that's like
this is gonna be dope as fuck
I feel like it's hundreds of thousand people
that would love what we're doing
they just need to listen to it
yeah totally I don't know
you guys are something about
where everybody's been hearing your name
it's just like now I think
it's the time where everybody's starting
to really figure it out
it's like a real
weird time where everything's just
sort of starting to lock into place
you know
and I'm like doing these interviews
like real early in somebody's career
because I feel like it like
not early but like just to have it
as the blueprint
so that people who want to
understand and kind of use that as their way in, you know?
I feel like by next year, like towards June, we're going to be big.
Big as well.
Yeah, we're going to be crazy, big.
Yeah, all the signs are there.
Back at this like, damn.
You're going to be looking at this, like, remember when we weren't sure if we were going to blow up or not?
Yeah, exactly.
No, we sure.
We're going to have a buzz downs.
Maybe we'll have some more mics by then.
We're going to have the bus downs.
Big bust downs next year.
That's the goal.
That's the only thing missing is the jewels.
I just want an Apple Watch.
Two on this wrist, one on this wrist.
I'm going to bust down Applewood.
You guys would be icy as fuck if you weren't spending all that money on lien.
Yeah, yeah, we'd be icy as hell if you weren't spending money on lien.
I got a little icey little chain right here from if and Cole, you feel me?
Got a little customer.
I was going to ask you are Orioles fan.
No, I'm not an Orioles fan.
I'm an O-TX gang member.

No.
You got to go around this flat rail.
Actually, they kind of liked for skating.
He used to drop hammers.
Actually, you know, if you guys aren't skating at the moment,
you probably wouldn't like it.
But I guess you could sit on the rail and drink some lanes straight.
