No jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. Adam 22 here with my man, Flacco. And today we're having a conversation with Sugar Hill D-Dut. What's going on, Jay? No, I'm telling you. Can we just yank the mic in a little bit? Sorry.

All right, perfect. Yo, listen, and he came in because he's 15, so I wasn't expecting him to be this tall. Right? He's taller to me. You commenting on people's height is, like, the most consistent thing on this podcast, and I'm not mad at it. because it's gotten to the point where I'm almost just kind of amazed.

He's taller to me, though. A lot of people are. But he's 15. You feel me? Well, you got great genetics. Nah, but, okay, but like, besides being tall, man, and he came here with the, a merry jacket, a bust down, a bust down, ring, the cool grades on, man. Yo, bro, are you getting too much money right now, man? I tell people go and tell people sit back and eat their popcorn.

Watch. Not faxia. Wait, hair, hair, so you was at like cool kicks before this though,

right? Like doing what there? I was, I was, chilling over there. I went to go show some love for me,

cop some shoes. It's like the number one thing you got to do when you come to town you gotta get some shoes. You can't fit them all in the suitcase. Got it.

You know? I got, I have to buy new I got to buy new suitcase. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. You had something in your hand, too,

when you walked in. It was something that was, Actually, it looked not so dissimilar from this. And I was a little worried at first because I heard about people getting stuff deleted for underage people smoking. Oh, really?

You ever heard anything like that? Allegedly. I only heard about it with drill rappers, though, because I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't happen unless you got your video reported five million times by the ops. Yeah, that's true. Right?

No? I mean, like, I don't really know what. I don't smoke in my videos. Right. I can't tell for that. Makes sense. No, I think it was Douggy B and who got his shit taking down for, like, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. No, I never smoked in my videos. Never. You're just gonna leave that alone until you get older? Mm. I never smoked in my, even like, when I'm like, I never, never, don't look, I ain't. Just, I don't know, is this a thing I always did?

I never did that in the video. Right. No, that's good. You could be brand friendly. You got a target deal. And then when I saw, like, when that shit started getting chicken down, it's over with. I just, I just, yeah, now I know why I never did that shit. Got it.

So can you tell us a little bit about your upbringing and what it was like? Where are you coming from? I'm from Harlem. Right. Sugar Hill. New York City. So, like, I'm just, I'm just like a Harlem baby, bro. That's all, bro.

I mean, just the Harlem baby, so when you, in the hood, feel me, make it all the young age, like I said, it's a success. Yeah, that's a fact. And you guys been going crazy for a minute now. Thank you, bro. It's actually pretty crazy. Because you remember Black Dave did that video with you probably like a year and a half ago or something?

We went to the neighborhood? Yeah, I remember that. I think that's honestly, like, how I found out about you guys. And I was just like, oh, shit. Did crazy numbers too. Did? Well, like one and a half million. It's pretty good.

She's a little vlog in the neighborhood, yeah. Now that's crazy. Before, like, you came in, and he mentioned that, right? And he thinks that Black Dave, like, may be Swayzy. Oh, no, not Black Dave. Oh, no, who? Oh, fuck, fuck, damn. If Black Dave could make the Swayzy voice, I would lose it.

No, no, no, not him. Dave, my son. That's my heart right now. Yeah. Yeah, Greg about. I'm talking about, damn, who's that God did the interview for? I did an interview. Hakim.

No. On like, Cam Capone, right thing, or no? Cam Capone is definitely suezed. It had like a red, like a red thingy. A red mic. Oh, oh, no. It's Fuchsius TV. Yeah, I think so, yeah.

Yeah, Fuchs. Yo, and we've never seen, like, how Fuchsus look like. Never? No. No, no, because he don't like show like his like face on camera. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm doing. A lot of people are really confused watching this because we're talking about all these meme pages and underground interviewers and shit.

I know, I don't really, I don't really, I don't really post about me, I got no problem. I'm just, yeah, always, you know, always thoughts, you know, what I think for me. Definitely. So, what was your upbringing like in Harlem? What was your upbringing like in Harlem? Like, like, you have both parents? Um, I was born to a Dominican family. Right.

So I was, like, outside. My dad, my pops. My grandma, for me, I was, you know what I mean? I was a grandma baby. Like, my grandma. Yeah, my grandma, look, he raised me. And then my dad, for me, my dad was always around. Me always was there.

But I was really, like, always lived in my grandma. as a baby like my grandma always been around like always okay your parents were just busy no my parents is around too I just I just like I ain't lived with them I always looked at my grandma got it um so you said that you were uh you're outside is that the vibe in your neighborhood like everybody was just having to be outside all the time I mean I mean like and you I don't know how to explain it bro when you outside like I don't know how to explain it, bro. You're in the hood.

You're active? I guess, yeah, bro, yeah. Like, I was just outside young, young nigga, bro. In New York, it's all about being outside. Nah, bro. Gotta go out there and see for yourself, bro, because I don't know how to really explain it to you. Yeah, no, I live in New York for, like, seven years,

and I just definitely would always just be dudes hanging outside the liquor store. When I walked by him, I was just be like, this dude was born to be here. Like, he just, this is all he cares about is just holding it down here. Of course. And just representing.

It's all about what you do, bro. It can't be miserable. It's all about, like, what you do, bro. For me, bro, you can't just, like, what you said, you can't just do that, bro. Like, you gotta do things in life for me to make yourself happy. Not as a fact. Yo, because I see, like, and there's these videos that, like,

go viral of people of, like, Dominicans, right? And, like, in, like, New York. And, like, the videos, it's just them outside just playing, like, loud music. You feel like me just dancing and just cooling, no? No, that'd be like the Bronx. Mm, the Bronx. Yeah, I'm from Harlem.

Harlem is chill. Like, it's not really my shot. We be chilling. Not really the Bronx. But you just said that'd be in the Bronx. Yeah. That loud. You're talking about the cars,

the big-eyed speakers on top. Yeah, that's all in the Bronx. Yeah, that's all in the Bronx. Yeah, like, tell me, like, if this is true, the Bronx is like the rough neck, like the dirty niggas. and Harlem is like the fashion niggas and who can dress

and then Brooklyn is like the scammers is that true? I mean I can agree with you about what you said up on Harlem like nobody nobody could be this when they come to like

fashion and clothes I mean like I don't I never liked the Bronx like from literally I'm from Harlem like I never like the Bronx or like Brooklyn

I never really went to Brooklyn That's not my My territory over there So like you say you never really been there You're saying you like been there a couple times Or just Yeah like I just see Brooklyn Like you know like

Another world Yeah You went outside You see in the car It's handled some situation Some music shit Some shit for me But I never really went to Brooklyn

I was always like In Harlem The Bronx is like Afghanistan up there, huh? No, I can't really speak for that, bro. You don't go up there either? No, bro. I'm from Harlem, bro.

I can't really speak for the Bronx. Mm. Because you can probably speak for Harlem, but I don't know about the Bronx. We're just trying to figure out the different styles of each different borough drill-wise, because we just are hearing something different...

I mean, what you think? I think the Bronx is Afghanistan. Brooklyn is just a bunch of, like, hustling money-type dudes with nice cars and stuff. That's like the main thing is that like the Brooklyn dudes are flashy and fresh. And then the Bronx, I'm not saying that like dirty, but they're not. It's a different vibe for sure.

Rough. I understand what you're saying, bro. Yeah. What you think about Harlem though? The Harlem history is so rich, you know? And like when I think of it, I grew, like my high school years or actually right after high school was so dipset inspired that I, you know. Yeah, my son, my son, my son, Elle's my son, Joe, Santana. That's my heart right there.

This is a very New York thing that you can call him your son. even though he's like 30 years older than you. That's just a New York thing. Like, of course, everybody knows else is older than me. Like, that's my big bro. Yeah, feel me? But, like, that's just something you say in New York. Like, that's my son, else for me.

Like, it's all love for me. But, like, shout out to my son. Because he did it to Black Dave earlier, too, who's like 20 years. I know. That's my son. Which I would never, damn, on an L.A. level, I feel like calling someone

your son is kind of offensive. Of course. I mean, I don't, I mean, like in New York, where you'd be like, that's my son, that's my heart right there. Like, I don't know. It's the heart part of, like, that's new. Because I've heard son's son for a while now, but, like, it's just recently, like,

I've been hearing dudes, like, calling me their hearts, you feel what I'm? So, like, yeah, right? So, like, where did, like, that come from? Just the way you said it. My block started that. Ah, okay, gotcha. Like, it started coming from, I could say, like, like, we just started saying it, like,

you're just starting it, like, you're just telling me. Like, you're chilling? I don't know. It's like, like, yo, what's up my heart or something

when he's, like, I don't know, something different like, what's so, bro. And now everybody

is jacking that lingo down. Show them like the Bronx is jacking that, you know? Everybody be saying that. Yeah, you know. That reminds me

when Drusky would always be saying like my, my twin, my lover. Well, but who says the lover thing?

I know that young son like, like back in the day. Oh, Frimo's son. Damn. I understand. I understand what to say.

Yeah, no, I understand. Free my heart. No, free my young dog, bro. I ain't a lot of that. That's one of my favorite rappers, too, bro. For real. Okay, so what music were you listening to growing up? Doug.

Chris Brown. Damn. It's like Loki, a few. I was also listening to my son, Tupac sometimes. Tupac? Yeah, I was a young little. So me listening to old shit sometimes. That's dope that a dead man could be your son as well.

Damn, TP can't, you know, put that in my video. Nika said a dead man, you wrong. Well, man, we got them right here. Duvaz Shakur. It's been dead since, like, approximately 1997, but... Yeah. Wait, though. Wait, and who put you on to Pac, though?

Like, because you're 15. So, like, Pac, right? Like, was it moms or pops who put you on to Pac or? Dad, my dad used to, like, a lot of Joe's sent in, and, like, a lot of Pac insurance shit. So I was just, when I'll be around my dad, like, I'll just do shit like that my dad do Like I was young, so listen to songs and shit that I would listen to Is there like a dipset class in high school if you grew up in Harlem?

Because I feel like there should be I don't know They should have to teach the young kids because that's like really important shit I don't know, bro, when I was in school, all that was regular school Wait, so you're out of school now? Yeah, I'm homeschooled. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. And, like, how was, like, I'm that transition, though, because being like, right?

Like, like, because going to school, you know, like, with your friends every day, right? You know, like, then, like, transition to now you're kind of, like, you know, just studying and by yourself. Like, is that lonely, or do you prefer, you know, homeschool or public school? I'll be chilling, bro. Yeah. Don't be. I mean, when I was in middle school, I, like, before. Before I got famous, I used to be outside,

and I used to go to school. And I used to, I ain't located, be a little bad at school, be bad at school, I'd be mad bad at school. So I ain't, then I ain't gonna lie. I feel like when you bad in school, bro, the teachers love you for some reason. I don't know why, but like, I feel like when you're bad in the school,

the teachers love you more. No, that's a fact. I had the opposite experience. I was bad and they hated me. But like, um, Yeah, I don't know. Like, I feel like when you're bad, they just love you more. Yeah.

No, but like, I feel like you've definitely calmed down more, though. Because a 13-year-old, like, D-Dot was a menace online, man, you feel me? Yeah, I mean, there's like a real viral video that is titled, uh, Sugar Hill D-D-Dot, the 13-year-old menace to society. I think that, that was actually how I found out about it back in the day. Yeah. I'm 15 now, bro. Yeah.

Like I was, like I said, I was, I was, Yeah, but you could be outside without getting into all the fuck shit that might have you labeled a menace to society by a noted author like Swayze. Man, I ain't even know who that nigger was, bro. That nigger just posted me and I was just, it was funny. Yeah. I guess that was funny. Sometimes I feel like we give them a little too much props on here by just talking about them. Yeah, man.

I think he deserves it. Of course. All right, so, like, how did you even, like, start rapping? I was just playing with it, bro, at first. And then, like, and then I just started realizing I was nice. Nice, yeah. And then I just started taking it serious. My son, Eda, baby, made me, maybe, um, rest of the pieces.

So my son made me better. Like, he told me, like, yo, like, focus up, like, this shit is for you. feel me something just for me you know, no word were you like a popular kid in school and everything

before that um you kind of give me that energy yeah like everybody fucked with me everybody knew

who I was before I was famous I had like 20K followers so like I was still

know so everybody knew who I was and shit bro 20K before the famous yo I'm such a loser

bro like like like because like I'm just envisioning like having 20k followers in middle school before like rap. Bro, like you look bro like you were the man because I think like I probably had like I don't know

like 400 and like I was following like 1500. I interviewed a girl the other day who told me she had a couple hundred thousand in high school. No, that's scary. That's scary. That's funny. I'm like, all these people were sharing you and they had no idea. She's like, yes.

I'm like, oh no. That's great. It's a weird world we live in. But, uh, all right. So who actually like got you to start making music or what was that like? Nobody got me to start making music gang. I do this. That's the problem, bro.

You can't do music because you're forced to work. Because you're like, like you gotta actually want to do it and love it. Like, for me? I don't know how to explain it, bro. When people that make music, you know, for me, if they should know. Okay, well, what inspired you to actually do it? Um, my son, um, my son, um, naughty and eat out, like, after their passing, I just, I just, how with my motivation.

Like, like, for them, I just, for them. Everything I do is for them. Yo, I see, like, a viral video, right? Like, of a mom, right? You feel what I mean? Like, again, you got a lot of viral video. I know, right? His mom?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, right? So look, right? So look. No, no. Not your mom, right? Right? So like, and she was like, yo, I found my son's like rap no book, right? Yo, like, he's taking this in out the hood, right?

So when you like first, like, play like your song for your mom, like, but she's like, yo, this shit going to take us in out the hood? Like, this shit is hard as fuck. Or was she like, you know what, this is cool? No. Nah, yeah, I don't know, bro. I thought, nah, yeah, I didn't show, like, I ain't show nobody. my first track like. Nah?

I thought my first track was was whack. Everybody's first song is trash. Oh, word. So I ain't show nobody yet. Who's your first, like, in good song then? Like I say, I started getting better when I started dropping at first

on my page. Yeah. When I started dropping, shit started getting better. That's facts. And, like, how did you, like, do, like, Evil Twin? Like, how did, like, that can be? about? Um, that was my home.

Yeah. So that's my home. We was just in the stool. We was just like, we was in my building actually smoking. And then we was in my building actually smoking, right? And then he was like, like my son Nadi was rapping to me. He was like, yo, let me show you this theater. And I was like, nah, that's pain.

I thought, yo, that's evil since part two. And right there, I book, you know, that's when we were Broke, bro. When we was broke young little niggas outside. I remember my ex-my-grandma for $40 because the studio, the studio's $40. Yeah. So we went to the studio like a block away.

And we just started making it the song for me. And then now it's one of my little songs. That shit is a hit. It's a classic, right? Yeah, it's a hit now. But, bro, like, did y'all know? Like, for example, right? Like, because, like, that shit went, like, it boom, right?

Did y'all know, like, when y'all was dropping it? Like, bro, like, this is the one. No, when I dropped it, like, my son, my audio already passed away. So, like, I just, I dropped it. And, like, I was like, I'm just, like, yeah, bro, I was living up for my son that video. My son really liked that song, so I really had to drop it. Like, he really liked my verse.

Like, I love that song. Like, my son part is. It was stupid. Yeah. When did your voice take on the texture that it has now? Because it's very unique. I don't know. I don't know.

Yeah. You've been talking like that since you were young, though? Like this? Like my flow? Like I'll speak? You just have like a whispery sort of raspy thing going on with your voice. It's like very unique. I mean, I don't know.

But it was always like that? It sounds like you've been smoking for 20 years. Nah, nah, nah. Nah. Nah. People used to say my voice is squeaky. I mean, I remember my voice changing when I went through puberty and shit. So I wonder if when you're 18, if it'll sound different.

Probably, I guess. Probably. I ain't a lot. I'm only 15. I don't tell the difference, but, like, the people I'll be around keep telling me I'm getting taller. And my voice was getting deeper. So, like, you never recognize it. The people around you is going to tell you.

So, like, I never, never, I still don't recognize it. It still sound a little squeaky, like, when I talk, like, and I hear myself. It's just funny Because a lot of people who do drill music are trying to Give off like a crazy demonic energy with their voice You're really doing it kind of naturally Yeah, I don't do that I rap like this

Like how I'm talking To put my voice a little higher and just Rime Definitely What you got next on that long ass list fucker With me? Oh no listen Here right

So And here's when And I think that like things like things as you going get like you feel me right you know like things was getting like you know like crazy for you right is when dirk like brought you all out right so bro like speak on that man like how did that come about because that's a good look i ain't gonna lie little dirk that's one of my favorite rappers that made me like that motivated me that motivated me so feel me i just I was like

I don't know bro I was hype but like I saw all those people 10,000 people for me I got I wasn't I wasn't

um was that shit cool um um stay strike Starstruck whatever that fuck that shit for I wasn't

I was for me the crowd yelling for me it was a good show bro hang on fuck it

yeah what was the energy like from Dirk? I ain't a lot. Mom, I ain't allowed. My son Dirk went out there, he started the whole crowd just singing every lyric.

Yeah, I remember the crowd was singing every lyric for me too when I performed. I want to love you and shit too. And I think the real purge everybody was screaming and that shit. And that was.

was after or before like like no I was the opening I was first yeah yeah yeah right no but no so like was that after or like before like the Drake like the Drake like that was oh sorry gang that was after it I was in Drake I was in my son Drake um in my him and shit yo and how did like that come about no it was like it was like it was like it was I don't even know bro everything I think it was, we went to Miami. We was already cool with him because we had, we already took a photo shoot for him. We modeled for him on the knock that shit.

And we already was cool with him and then contact went. And when we went to Miami, we just got cool. We linked up. Yo, you kind of like shocked, though, and he was so, like, tapped into, like, the drill movement in New York? Man, I wouldn't be surprised that nobody's not tapped him with what's going on right now because, like, it's viral.

Everything is going around the city, so. Do you think it's the hottest rap scene in the country? I mean. It might be, right? Might be, I don't know. I can't think of any other scene in the country that has a lot of rappers who are doing, you know, millions or at least hundreds of thousands of views. consistently.

There's like a lot of rappers on New York that are really popping like that. And when I think about LA, it's like, it's not, probably not as many. Oh, man. Listen, when there's drop, they're gonna be all you, man. I'm just saying, well, everybody knows LA

ain't gonna step it up. Everybody knows that they gotta work on their game a little bit. There's some hot rappers, don't get me wrong, but it's just not exactly like an insane amount of them. Yeah, of course. Maybe that makes me controversial, I don't know. Now, I'm in, listen, question though, right? So like, do you like feel, for example, like,

I feel like the drill fans, right? Like, for example, like the Reddit community, the IG pages. Like, do you feel like they do too much in terms of, like, instigating and trying to put, like, people against each other? Oh, no, bro. Yeah. I don't be on the media, bro. No? You really try to, like, not pay attention to it?

Yeah, if you pay close attention to me, bro, I don't be on the media, bro. Be on the media, bro. I just do what I'm not. I love doing, bro, music, bro. You know me, bro? That's all, bro. But question, though, right? So, do you, like, feel, I guess, like, indebted to your guys, like, as you grow?

What? Like, do you, here, so, like, indebted means, like, do you feel, like, a sense of loyalty to your friends as you grow, right? Like, for example, right? Feel me? Like, for me, it's more so, like, I had a bunch of friends, like, growing up, right? But, bro, like, as you grow and get bigger, like, not all the guys can come with you, right? Here, right?

So do you feel, like, loyalty to, like, in all the guys, like, as you grow? Yeah, I love all my nags, bro. You're all from the same love, bro. Yeah. Never felt no other way about love all my nags, bro. Yeah, enough facts. Always been loved, bro.

Nothing new, bro. Yeah. Yeah, what's next though, man? You feel I mean? Like, is there like a project dropping soon? Sit back and eat your popcorn. Yo, we ready, man. Is y'all ready?

Have you seen how becoming successful can kind of affect your friendships where, like, people that you thought you were real homies with or start acting weird and start doing all kinds of bullshit? No, no, problem. No, bro. That's my mind. circle yeah definitely because the dudes bully got out there bray feel me like those are some real good dudes or you feel me man like i think i met like drake you feel me right so like you know so
