But for the most part, just kind of grew up in San Fernando, you know? Went to Kennedy, Polly. You know, just the Valley boy, dog. Valley boys, A1A shit.

Straight up. A1A shit, though. You know, I mean, San Fernando, Puechamo, Silmar, Arlida, all that shit was my playground, you know? What was your favorite place to live in the valley? I know it could be, I know it could be like the valley so big that like, yeah. Yeah.

It's like everything's hell of far from each other. But what was one place that you feel like, damn this was actually home? I know you're saying the whole valley, but like. Nah, San Fernando, the city. The city, San Fernando. The city is San Fernando. The city is San Fernando. That's where I was raised that, yeah.

Okay, fine. Yeah. That's probably where I learned the game, dog, where, you know, butterflies and the bees and the whole shit, you know? And where did the career start? I know there's so much history of your shit. That's why I wanted to do this podcast because I know there's like, you went from, you started early as fucking like the 2006. I could be wrong? No, probably 2000.

2000. Okay. I was like 14. I was barely born. Yeah, 2000. 2000. 2000. 2000 I was already smoking weed

trying to holl out of bitches and you were barely They were bad They were carrying in the And so So tell them about the early life Like I wasn't growing up Like parents

What was a situation Your life? Yeah man I'm first generation Mexican American You know my parents My mom came here She was 17

When my dad They had just gotten married My sister was In my mom's belly When they crossed the border Okay They tried to cross the border Twice type of deal

You know Luckily it happened On the second time They ended up over here by the beaches in San Diego. Wow. And they were helped out by a family that was flying a plane. And my dad thought it was a plane up until it got closer.

He thought he saw it was a toy plane. And he started talking to the dude. They got a phone and they called my Tia and it was a rap kind of deal, you know. And the first time they felt crossing the border, how was that? It was crazy where they got robbed. You know what I'm saying? They got robbed by fucking, you know, bad coyotes type of shit. Oh, so it was like, it was planned.

And then when it was time to cross, they were like, fuck that there's our money. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, basically they got, you know, they got robbed and shit, you know, and so they had to do it the second time. And then the second time is when, you know, they met like a, it was like an elderly couple and they were kind of like guiding them through the whole situation. And then, you know, again, my mom's, my mom's, what, eight, nine months pregnant? So she's about to give birth. She's about to give birth.

She's about to give birth, like, within two weeks of being here. Wow. Yeah, so my sister's from, I want to say, East LA, she was, you know, general hospital. And I'm Van Nuys, you know what I'm saying? And then I, you know, like, my parents were here for three years after that. And I was born 85. How far did your family come from? Like what part of Mexican family?

Okay, so they're from the beaches. Yeah, they're from the beaches. They're from the beaches. They're from the peake, yeah. And then that's where Tepeake comes from. Wow. Boom. That's crazy.

Okay, so they went through the whole like crowding through the desert issue or? Yeah, I'm not really too sure. I mean, I know like me and my dad had talked about it, but I think it was more like Sierra and Mountains. Oh, Sierra and Mountain. Okay, yeah. So still difficult. Hell yeah.

I mean, that's difficult for anybody that's in fucking shape. Yeah, yeah. Let alone a, you know, a 17-year-old girl that's pregnant, fucking eight months pregnant, you know? Yeah, shit, my mom crossed through with my sister in her arms. Yeah. I think they crossed it the first time, which, but they went through the desert. Like, I think, yeah. Yeah, wherever, way.

Yeah, well, yeah. They had no toys, way. Like, you want a better life? Let's go. Well, here's, we're going to. There is. There is. So your family resides in East LA for a little bit while your sister's born and then you.

Nah, they came, you know, they came straight to, they came straight to the valley. They came straight to San Fernando. My family, my Tia Olga was here already. Shout out of Tia Olga. So your Tialga was already recited in, San Fernando Valley. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. So, you know, so my Tia took my, you know, took my parents in with my, you know,

with my sister and my mom's belly. And then, you know, kind of like, you know, started working and the rest is kind of history after that, you know? That's fire. So it was really a matter of time of your, your whole sister's life could have been different. If it was, if she was giving birth two weeks before, because she would have had.

They might have stayed in Mexico. You know what I'm saying? There would be no concrete. Yeah, probably, dog. No, more than likely, it probably wouldn't have happened that way, you know. But thank God they made it on the second try and then here we are. That's your goal with the blessing, don't you think? Like, when you hear stories about like, because I'd be like thinking I'm going through shit

and then my mom be like, like, well, I live in a castle de Carbone. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, well, don't make me feel like shit. And then you put it in person. Ah, fuck. Why you got to go say all that, dog? And then like, I remember like when I was like doing like just stupid shit, should be like, well, when I cross the border, I'll be like, okay.

There goes. I get it. I get it. Were you a bad kid growing up? Yeah. I mean, I wasn't, I wasn't, I mean, I, what do you define bad? You know what I'm saying? I mean, I think every teenager goes through his shit, right?

Yeah, yeah. Was I gangbanging? No, I love the idea of it. I love the idea of it. For you were a grapher? No, man, I wanted to a straight gang bang. I wanted to just go straight into it. But, you know, luckily, man, I ended up, you know, playing basketball in my junior high,

like which kind of took me away from that shit. And then, yeah, man, I started playing basketball throughout like my, you know, junior high high school. And I started DJing when I was like 15. And then, you know, 10th grade, it was like a rap. It was like, that was it. 10th grade is it? Yeah.

You didn't finish high school? Nah, not like at the time. Not at the time. And when, when you were DJing, that was what, you were born in 85. So that was what early, I mean, for late 90s? Maybe like 2000. 2000? This is like 2000.

I was already DJing. Like I had my own club and Sammy Valley called together. Kee La Room. Your own club? Yeah, I was 15 and I had my own club. I was 15. Okay, first of all, let's promoting it.

Okay. I didn't own my own club. I was like, the California laws changed. No, no, no. No, no.

As a, as a, as a DJ, you know, club owners, they give you like a club to promote for the week or whatever the case. So you had your own club.

Yeah, so I was running and promoting my own club. We're not to say the club owner's name. He might go to jail. Yeah, he might go to chat down. But that shit was fun.

Oh, so you didn't do it. the party crew shit like I did I did and and that was earlier I was like maybe 11 12 but you gotta think about I was like a overly mature 11 12 year old yeah fact okay you know I was I was a lot

like I looked a lot older I you know I was around all the homies that were 16 17 so but by the time I was 11 dog I was already DJing for them at house parties and then I was partying doing all the rebel shit what was your what was your set looking like do I all thought would you have I have crates I had five crates I mean obviously

I had like legendary hip-hop shit, right? Like, that was out at the time, you know? But I also had like, you know, like when I used to do like the rebel parties, I had all my, all my DJ Irene, on my, you know what I'm saying? Like, all the, all that crazy stuff, though, you know?

And you were like out of bandos, at 11 year old, just going stupid and why bitch is shaking ass. My first gig was about this on from when I was 11 years old. About Dizo? Yeah, I roll up. I roll up my little. How much are you charging at this, at the time? I was getting paid $45 to DJ for six hours.

Y'all, but at 11 years old, oh, that is amazing. I was, oh, dog, you kidding me? I was that fucking Kmart with that, dog. I used to go to, like, factory to you, you know what I'm saying? I don't know what that is. Before, yeah, right. What the fuck?

I was burning $2,000. When you were DJing? No, you know what fucking Fayas Paredes is. Same company, Perro. Family. So before, it used to be called family bargain. Okay, okay. And then it got turned into a Fias Paredes.

Okay, so I know what Fiairet is. Yeah, same company. Same company. It's like Ross and like fucking, what was the other one? Burlington or what the fuck is. Well, fucking. What is it? Marshall?

Yeah, Marshall's okay So it's same family Same family So your first gig is about These so Yeah And you're what 11, 11 12?

About 11 years old Okay And then And then when was your first house party Was there like Immediately within like 12 12 13 Yeah

Like that's around that time And I was like Okay cool I want to start Really doing this shit You know And what's the situation With your family

Is your mom Your mom and your dad Not tripping about Like You just randomly leaving That fucking In the night Yeah

Yeah, but at the same time, like, you know, like, you got to think about it. By the time I was nine, I was like selling, you know, like, I used to go to a nine-nine-cent store. And with, like, if I had four bucks, right, I would go and get two six-packs, and then I'd go to the market and get me churros, and my mom would make them for me. So then I'd be at the park slanging that shit, like a soccer game. So I was making 50 bucks in one day off of four bucks. You know what I'm saying? So they knew that the hustle was there for me.

They knew I was wanting to do it. So DJing for me was like, fuck it. If he's going to DJ and be at a party, I'd rather him do that. run around in the fucking streets. Oh, okay, okay. So they were, they would encourage you. Would you,

would you, would you allow your kids to go to a party and there'd be no fucking way. There'd be no way, don't. Especially not fucking DJ here. You know what I'm saying?

Like, he's 11. What the fuck does he know? But I had all the hits, bro. You had all the hits. Yeah. And you were, you were put up on game very young. Hell yeah.

Oh, my God. Was there ever a crazy situation during the party scene that you, maybe the cops got rated and you're like, what the fuck is this 11 year old? Because 15, even,

14, even 30 sounds normal. Yeah. But an 11 year, though, that a fucking abandos sounds kind of crazy. Yeah, no, it doesn't, you know, I mean, that's the whole thing is that, you know, I mean, we were talking like late, you know, late 90s, early 2000. So it was like, it was a little different, though, you know, plus like, hey, I'm just DJing. It was 10 o'clock, so it wasn't like it was too crazy, you know? So it, but never did it happen where I had cops talk to me.

Like, I had crazier shit happened than cops talked to me like fucking gunshots going off. And that shit was a norm. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Ain't no. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, and then everybody's cool, all right, cool. There was the music back on, you know, and then that was it, bro, you know? Did people ever, like, question you while you're walking in?

Who the fuck is this little brother is in? And then they just see you go on the tent table and start fucking it up? Every time. So you were very, you were very up on game out of young age. Hell yeah. So that was from the age of, like, 13, 13 and 15 is when you're going. You're doing the DJ shit. I'm doing the DJ shit.

Playing basketball. I'm playing basketball. I'm kind of leaving basketball already. Like, I was really into basketball. I did traveling basketball. Like they took like really good care of me. One of my claims of fame is that I beat Jordan Farmer at a championship game in a basketball league. So Jordan Farmer, he's played for the Lakers.

So that's like that's like my claim to fame in basketball. You know that's my Al Bundy moment, darling. That's my greatest story. But yeah, so at 15 I'm playing basketball, doing all that shit. And you know, I started leaving it and then that's when I got, I had my own club and then I wanted to start producing. I was like, man, I want to start making beats. And I was already kind of rapping with the homies a little bit, you know. So my dad and my uncle

ended up building me a studio inside the garage. Wow. And you gotta remember, dog, this is like when I'm, it's either I'm at home doing this or I'm out, you know, getting arrested or taking, you know, my sister's G ride and fucking doing donuts in front of the school. Like, I was doing that kind of shit, right?

Okay, so it's either your parents were like, fuck, he doesn't want to go to school. Yeah. It's either we don't support him and he goes, fuck around. And obviously at the time, gang bangy was at its crazy peak. It was on a small decline In those 2000s, it wasn't like as prevalent as it is, maybe in the 90s or as it is now.

But, yeah, I mean, it wasn't as crazy. I mean, it was still active, dog. I mean, you know, I mean, nonetheless, I mean, it's always some sort of activity. And if you're putting yourself in positions, then you're going to see the activities. You know, if you're at home, you ain't going to see none of the shit. Exactly. So you're doing that shit and then they build you the studio. And then they built me a studio, dog.

And it was like, that was the... She wrote. Yeah, that was like, okay, cool. Because my parents saw that I wanted to be creative. ever since I was like five, six years old, you know? Like, they knew that creativity was there. So when I got my studio, I remember my dad, I told them like, hey, use your credit.

I'm going to pay for an MPC, like a beatmaker, an NPC 2000 Excel, which was like the ones that you... Yeah, the pads, you know? And these are like machines that only studios have at this time or like really prominent producers that know what the fuck they're doing, right? I was lucky enough to have one of my boys teach me how to use it.

His name's Chuck Heat at the time. I used to leave my, you know, my school to go to his house and learn that shit. Like, you know, I take the bus. And anyways, I got mine. I had my student. I started making beats. So, like, for just homies on the block and dudes that I knew wanted to rap or, you know, the word got around that I was making beats, I completely stopped DJing at that point.

I was like, I'm done. I want to, this is what the fuck I want to do. So I'm doing beats and I'm doing all that shit. And it just kind of morphed into like, you know what, dog? I was like, man, all of these dudes are whack that can't rap. So you're wasting good beats on whack rap. What I thought were good beats. What I thought were good.

And I was like, you know, fucking, I'm going to rap on my own shit. And then so that's when I started writing my own stuff. And then within, I want to say, three or four years, like, I got signed. And then I was, like, I had my first song on the radio. Feli Flo was the first person ever playing my record. Okay. So the first record ever played on the radio was off a garage. It was, yeah, I did that in the garage.

Okay. And what was that song called? That was called Certified Cush. And then you didn't go out of concrete at the moment. No, I used to go as Beretta. Boreta. Boreta. Wow.

Fucking random. I mean, it's as random as like, you know, anything else. But when you spit 16 bars, a gun spit 16 bullets. So I read like a whole. Oh, wow. So that was a correlation to it. Nothing super creative. I'm like 19.

I'm trying to figure it out. No, but I'm just like Barreta. Like, I know what you mean. Dirt's a gun thing. No, but let me tell you, my names have always like. Been like hell of fucking random. Yeah, because like Beretta, like, whenever people, like, at the time would Google me, they're like, a bunch of guns come up.

I was like, fuck. I knew it was like, I was like, how are you spelling it, you know? So yeah, that was my first time ever having my song on the radio do. It was like, I think I was 1920. And it was a record called Certified Cush. At the time, I was signed to Sean and Louis and Steve LaBelle, which at the same time, you know, I was there, like, me and Nipsey got signed the same week. Okay, so I've seen an interview where you went to go meet Steve LaBelle.

And then he was like, hey, I want to sign you, but let me play you this kid. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what happened. Do they, Sean. Okay, so, Sean Lewis. Yeah, Sean and Lewis, shout out to Sean Lewis. Mez with my boys right there, bro. They, you know, shout us to my boy, big boy, which put me on to them. They heard a record of mine and they were like, yo, we want to see if we can manage you.

We want you to come and meet Steve. And I was like, at the time, I was like, you know, I didn't really know the ins and out to the business. The business, yeah. The who's who of it, you know. And he was like, yeah, man, you know, Steve LaBelle. He's managed Mariah, bone thugs and all kinds. I was like, yeah. So you're gaster.

I'm gassed up. I'm gassed, dog. I'm fucking, dog. You're fucking, I go back to the hood with the homies, and I'm like, you fool don't even fucking, no, dog. You just don't even know what's about to happen. And then, so I remember, you know, they gave me an address to like somewhere in thousand else at the time.

And you busted there. Oh, dog, I fucking straight. You took the buzz there? No, no, hell enough. I had a car at the time. Okay. Okay, so what I'm saying? Okay.

Let me back back to her real quick. How did your song from a garage get in the hands of Felifel and on the radio? How did that happen? Well, the record, the first record, that I did was that it was called industry beefs. And it was like a record that just got hood famous. And I was talking about beats between, you know, gaming 50 and, you know, Drey and Easy.

At the time, it was called industry beefs, right? So that record got really, it got like hood recognition all over the valley. Now off the trunk, see. Yeah, it was out of the trunk, right? So everybody knew about the record. And then so my boy Biggie gave my new record, no, no, my boy Biggie gave that record to Steve,

to Steve and Shauna Lewis. Oh, wow, shout out of your boy. He really just... Yeah, yeah, my boy, big boy. That's my dude, right? That's my boy. He rocked me forever, dog. And then so he gave the record to them,

and they were like, yo, we need to get this kid in here. So then that's when I go meet Steve LeBelle. And I'm walking into the house and I'm seeing all these plaques, and I'm like, oh, shit, this fool... You're 19, 18 at the moment? I'm like, maybe 19, yeah, maybe 1920.

Something like that, though. You know what I mean? I'm still a kid and shit, you know? So I'm looking out all these fucking plaques. I'm like, all right, this is cool. He takes me to the garage and he's playing my record. He's like, y'all love that shit.

I was like, cool, man. He's all like, I'm thinking about signing a couple dudes right now. And, you know, like, I like your music and, you know, probably want to sit here and develop you a little bit more before we do, like, a release. And I was, all right, cool, whatever. You know, he was like, but I want to play you this dude that I just found, too. He's like, let me know what you think. And he's playing this record and it's a cover and he has this dude on there.

And it's like, I think maybe it was like three or four dudes. And then he was like, the record's called Bulletin, got no names. And I was like, all right, cool, he plays it. His name's Nipsey Hustle. And I was like, all right, cool, play that shit. And the record was out of here, bro. Yeah. And then that record became one of his biggest, like, street records as well.

Wow. One of the first records that really, like, people recognized him for and knew him for it. It was called Bulletin, got no names. And the first time I ever heard that record was in Steve's car. And he was like, I'm about to sign this dude. So me and me and Nip got signed, like, almost simultaneously. So you guys were, like, industry brothers, like, like label brothers. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you could say that.

Yeah, I mean, you could say that. I mean, you know, we used to go to his shows and, you know what I'm saying, like support. I mean, obviously he had all his boys. They're fucking 50 dudes. And, you know, it was like the whole hood was their type of shit, you know. So it was kind of cool to see that, you know, to see that happen. Because you were, because a lot of people don't know these little stories, like example. Like, like, who knew that's the little, like, just, just real quick example. Like, you would have been like, oh, it's an okay record. He might have not signed them. Like, I'm not saying you had that power, but I'm just saying, like, these crazy little stories mean so fucking much. Where it's like. And it's the people like my boy, big boy, to take that record and to know when to give it to that dude and all these little things that have to happen for shit like that to really come about, you know? So you get signed and once, when do you start seeing the, the fucking, like, because you went from being hood famous and being having a hood hit record to now you're in this buildings with these industry people. Exactly. Now, however far I carry bone thugs in harmony. Yeah, like it really, it really kicked in when like I did a record.

with like crazy bone, right? Like, because at the time, they were, like, Steve was managing, Steve and Sean, and, like, they were managing the bone thugs, right? And I think they still do, if I'm not mistaken, but so at the time, I was, you know,

again, man, I'm around these dudes and shit, like, we're kicking in the studio, and I'm just dying to get on a record. I'm dying. Like, I'm dying for them to call my number. You know what I'm saying? And what people don't understand is, it's rare for a Latino, Mexican kid.

To be in these circles. To be in these circles. At that time, too. And then you're not from the average place. You're from the San Francisco. Fernando Valley, which is right if, if it's not me if I'm wrong, but it's like usually they'll get a kiss strictly from L.A., South Central, Compton, these areas. But you being, you were really a rare breed. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I was, yeah, I was, I was a dude from the valley, you know, I was the dude from the value, you know. And, and that's just how it was. I was dying to get, like, my number called, you know. I remember I was, I was, uh, I was just at the house. I just got home from work. I think I was fucking doing some tow truck and there was some shit at the time. I was. And then my boy, Sean, calls. me, he's like, yo, I'm right here in the studio

Crazy Bowl, he wants you to come and drop a verse on this record called Hollywood. And I'm like, dog, stop playing for you. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to take a nap for when I hung up on him. I hung up on his ass. And he calls me back. He's like, yo, I'm not playing, dog. I was like, I need you to come down to Burbank right now. We're at Encore studios. You need to come down.

And I said, bro, like, stop fucking me, bro. I don't got time for this, bro. And I was kind of getting upset. Because he had fucking me before, right? I was like, nah, I'm not doing it. third time it's crazy boom hey i was like hello i was like who's this he's like man it's cray i was like crazy bone he's like yeah b t and age i was like oh shit he's like come down to burbank right now man he's 16 i said dog i'm fucking there before i before i finished i'm gonna fuck i hung up so so so so son for cry to the wolf plenty of time and you were like fucker yeah like you know

that saying where it's like you keep fucking me and when sometimes it's more like you know like you're the new be in the city yeah And I'm kind of impatient at this time. Like I'm 20 years old. I'm impatient. I'm high-headed. I think I'm making it. You know, like the cockiness is kicking in a little bit.

Yeah. You start getting this kind of vibe and really unhealthy shit when you're trying to make it in the industry, right? Facts. And so I go and do this record, man. I'm just in the studio. This is the first time I had ever seen, like, what I would consider a professional in the booth. You know? And here I am, 20 years old, man, watching Crazy Bone drop, like, a whole verse.

And then he's like how he's layering. shit and he's not writing, he doesn't have a pen, he's just, he'd be like, go, woo, da, da, da, da, da, okay, cool, rewind it. And he'd be like, da, da, da, da, da. And then he would punch in and be like, da, da, da, da. And I was like, and he's building this whole shit in front of me, like, Legos. Can you give me a good example of one? Like Legos, like Legos, you know what I'm saying?

He's just like, he'll save one little line and then he'll make the do rewind it. And then he'll hear it. And then he'll be like, all right, cool, press record. And then he'll say his next line. So there's no writing. It was just like on the spot. Like punching in. just punching in the whole time.

And then not only that, but once he finished the verse, now he has to go back and harmonize this shit. So then it's layers upon layers. And though, you're talking about 40 tracks just for one verse. I think you've made a skit about them in the studio. And you killed it. But I would have never, I thought, obviously, I've worked with you. I've been around you for a while where I know your knowledge and love for hip-hop.

But I would have, like, I remember we had this little conversation, obviously, but I never knew like I remember until when I remember you made the skin and then I seen you and I was like oh that was perfect he was like because I was there when he made that and I was like that's so fucking crazy

yeah I was I was in here recorded like he used to pick me and Sean up to go to studio sessions here like North Hollywood Burbank area and you know one of them we went you know they picked me up and I'm just in the backseat again I'm just minding my own bitch I'm just dying to get on bro I'm just I'm just chilling

you know so you're waiting for the number to be called I'm waiting for the number to be called and they take me to the and it's Camillionaire's in there. Who? Camillaner. I don't know who that is. You don't know Camillian? No.

Riding dirty. Okay. Fuck off, Josh. Want to ride it, right? I was born in fucking 2000 and I'm first generation, okay? Yeah, yeah. So I go in the studio, right? And, you know, Crazy Jones doing his thing.

You know, he's drinking, I guess, his hand. He's smoking his blunt or whatever. And I'm kind of tripping out because, you know, Camillian ain't doing none of those things. You know, he's not smoking. drinking and he'd offered him like you know crazy with offering something like no I'm good dog and you know at the time at the time I'm thinking like ah square he was like oh what about ratty dirty I don't know what I'm saying but he was just really

there you know I take care of business and that was my first glimpse of like the industry like you know there's there's there's there's there's two broad aspects of this shit you know there's the person that drinks a little bit to give vibe and and all that and then there's a person that's like, no, I'd rather do it focused. You know what I'm saying? Wow. And I was able to see that.

And I was able to appreciate both them because they were just both as talented. Yeah. And I was like, look, like, I was able to see both spectrums and be like, that's dope. That's dope to see those guys work. And I think that record was, if I'm not mistaken, I think it's called Tax Collector or something like that

or something like that. But it was like a second record that they did after writing dirty. And I was there for that one too. So it was dope to kind of see like crazy work and really put the pen to the paper type And at the moment, when do you start working? When is it full-time music? I think you start. I'm doing full-time music most of the time. Even when I'm working, dog, I was doing full-time

music. I got fired from a thousand jobs, bro, because if anybody would call me like, yo, man, come to the studio. I'd be like, I got to go. I was, I never a little job home me back. That was one thing about me. And I burned a lot of bridges in the job industry because of that, right? But I was just like, I knew what I wanted, dog. And I never, nothing, no disrespect to people that I hold a job, but I'm just, that ain't me. My mind was like, I wanted to be creative, you know? And then, so that happened. And that's your early 20s, right?

That's my early 20s, yeah. And when do you start touring and all that shit? I started touring when I met my boy full clip. I was already doing shows. I had already done, you know, Key Club, you know, House of Blues, all the shows like here, like in the LIP room, all the big clubs here in the L.A. At the time, I had already done them, you know?

And you're like opening up for a month? I'm opening up for bone thugs, you know, DJ Quick. I mean, name it too short. Name all the guys, though. I was opening up for all of them right here and the lady, you know? And San Diego and, you know, doing a couple of tours here and there with some rock bands and shit. So then I meet my boy in 2006, I believe. He's actually a fan, and he came to my show.

Full clip. Full clip. Yeah. My boy, full clip. And he had a big old weed shirt that lit up. And this is during the time that my song, Certified Cush, is on the radio. Right? So he's a fan.

I see him and I spot him. Like, yo, I got to take a picture with you after this shit, right? This is when there's not camera phones like that. We're still taking pictures on like cameras. You know what I'm saying? Actual cameras. A digital camera. A digital camera, right?

Wow. So, you know, we take a picture and he's like, yo, man, I do like, you know, like at the time I was living in Palmdale. He's like, do I live in Lancaster world? If you already in the studio, let me know. And I was like, cool, man, yeah, man, we'll link up. Hey, man, here's my number, whatever, you know? And, man, dude, it went from me being as, like, me just meeting him one day to me not leaving his house, man.

We got so much work done in the matter of like two years before he passed away in 2008. Wow. And that was like my brother, dog. Like, we developed such a relationship in like two or three years that wherever you saw him, you saw me for those three years. He was the one that was your hype man.

He was the one that was my hype man. And he was my manager. And he was kind of like my co-managing with me and Sean and Lewis. And he was more like my day-to-day. He was more like my day-to-day. And at the moment, he's going on tour with you and everything. He's going on tour, dog.

He's getting me all the shows. He's doing a lot for me. me, dog. He's recording my album. He's getting a mix and master. He's doing a lot for me, like, on that. I mean, literally, though, day to day. He was my 42 to Drake. You know what I'm saying? And at this time, you're with your, that's when you're kicking it with Baby Bash in them? I was already opening up for Baby Bash. Okay. Yeah. Like, like, Baby Bash knew who I was, but we weren't, like, boys, boys yet. Like, we just knew who we were, like, mutually, you know what I'm saying? This is on the time when, like, Omar Cruz was out and, you know, like, Rich Rocka from

the Bay Area was popping off and all these kind of like, we're all kind of like bubbling around the same time. Like even the YGs, the Kendricks of the world. Like I remember we're going to parties where, you know, Kendrick would be in a cypher killing it for 35 minutes, dog. Wow. You know, like me and Kendrick were like, you know, like we used to do the same shows,

you know what I'm saying? Like open and shit. The same little shows, like the same little rinky dink shows, you know? So a lot of these dudes like, I grew up with them, but we all kind of went in like different directions, you know, like unfortunately from Nipsey, like he was doing well and you know like i remember i hit him up on instagram and you know he was cool with

everything and he was like yeah man what's up i hope you're doing good i was like cool man hope you're doing good too type of shit you know but everybody kind of went their own way you know and obviously kendrick became a fucking mega star and you know nipsy became a fucking a marter kind of deal you know like just huge you know like type of type of vibe you're and so your brother passed away to them mate and you're not feeling music no more no i'm done with it i'm i'm completely done with it Because I'm seeing, like, you know, like, when you're 20 years old, dog, and, and, like, a lot, like, you know, 20, 22 years old, like, and everything's coming at you pretty quick. And, you know, you're starting to get a little bit of bread. You're starting to get recognition.

People are starting to recognize you. And, you know, like, the jealousy comes into play, dog. You start seeing how you're homeboys. And, you know, you got to think about it, too. These dudes are 22, 21. Like, they don't know how to act. You know, they don't know how to, some don't know how to show support. You know what I'm saying?

Instead of showing support, they, they start, like, pushing you away. Like, it's my fault that I'm doing something good. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So you start feeling that jealousy from people, dog, and I didn't want no part of it anymore. I was like, man, I'm seeing the dirty side of this shit. I'm done.

I'm trying to have this. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, like you feel me, dog. Yeah, yeah. So you got to maintain your focus and not any other shit kind of get to you. But I kind of left music for that reason. I was done with the charade of trying to be this person that I wasn't, because I wasn't a gangster.

I wasn't gangbanging, but I was doing records that were essentially either glorifying that shit or talking about. experiences that I knew from my homeboys, you know what I'm saying? And I was like, man, I'm kind of cool with it. So you were a great storyteller. Yeah, bro. I mean, you could say that I was a great storyteller. About the same time, I mean, I went through my shit.

Yeah, yeah, no, no, no. There were situations that I got into that were gangster, but I wasn't from a hood, so it's a lot different, you know what I'm saying? It's a lot different from doing gangster shit and being in a gang. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? And I got into some gangster shit, but I wasn't from a gang. But, you know, so I was done with that shit, 2000 and maybe like eight or nine.

It could have been 2010. And then that's when I started just, I was like, man, I want to start doing like, I want to start doing something. And, you know, music videos was like music videos and then I got into a podcasting. Wow. So you were podcasting. Yeah, but at the time it was called internet radio. Like, people didn't know, like, the word podcast wasn't around like that yet. It might have been out, but nobody was really talking like podcast shit, you know?

So it was more like internet radio. And I was doing that at L.A. talk live. And then I went to Pocas for the locals with Eidav and Kooli, and I was there for like two years with them. And when do you, when do you start? me music videos? 2011, 2010? How did that come about? I think I heard a story.

You were at a regular job. I was at a regular job and I got fired. I was doing accounting for Fias Paredes. Full circle. I conned my way sick into a job, dog. You know, like, because I got that job from like one of those like temp agencies, right? Yeah. So like, you know what they tell you?

Like, what do you know how to do? And there says, carpentry, yep. Electrician, yep. Accounting. Yep. administration, yep, I didn't know how to do any of that shit, right? So I get the job and then I get fired within like, I don't know, maybe two, three months, dog, and I had my last little check.

It was like, 800 bucks. And I told my girl, I was like, you know what, I want to start shooting music videos or little documentaries for all these artists that I know. Because at the time, I already knew all these dudes that I, that I was like, man, I know I can get these dudes to maybe give me a couple hundred bucks to shoot a music video. So I bought a little HD camera at Kurazao with credit, you know? And the fucking rest is history, dog. Like, with that, I shot music videos for 10, 12 years and still doing it now to this day.

Yeah, I just seen that one. You know, so it's, it's been fun, dude. I mean, I've seen the world through Atlanta, dog. I can honestly say that was probably the best thing I could have done in my 20s, though. Because I don't think, like, I don't know if music would have done it like that, you know. I don't know if I would have been like a megastar or like nation, you know, even nation. I think I would have been like... Well, who knows, right?

Who knows, bro? I mean, yeah, dog, who knows? Yeah, definitely who knows? Because, I mean, again, dude, you know, I was one of the first dudes here in the Valley around that time to have a song on the radio. So it was kind of like, I was one of the first of its kind even for that, you know? And that was cool for me. I was like, damn.

And it was kind of like, all right, cool. Like, I did it. Now what? I set that goal when I was 15 and I did it when I was 20. It was kind of like, I did it in five years. Okay, cool. Now what? And then.

And, you know, Duna, remember, at the time, bro, having a song on the radio meant something. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm going to say. because I know now it's like it's a now having a radio that blows off on TikTok is something it's something so at the moment

you're really this you're probably I'm not saying you're the first Latino because because obviously there's other Latinos but you're the first of a very unique descent that now the world is super used to

like first generation like people don't understand like people might not understand I explain all the time where I were like I didn't grow up on Snoop Dog dog yeah like my chick I don't know homies like like I feel like I'm more by style than I am because like yeah me too and obviously like like I was like like you I was raised in LA like I'm with the areas where where it's like we weren't

my mom like my homie's moms be like buggy yeah my mom dances rock in hispaniore like a fuck my mom loves my spitty he told me yeah she loves cumbias she she's they she's she's she's a total opposite of what people because I know I know what people see which is which is a beautiful culture The Chicano coaches and amazing coach. I know we both have it in our way of living somehow. But people don't understand that your first language was in English. No, I mean, it was Spanish. It was Spanish.

You were an ESL kid. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, me too. Up until like six grade, dog. Up until like four months ago, dog. We're like, and then people go like, oh, well, then how do you know? I'm like because of the coaches we were raised around. Like, so example, like, so I know it was very rare to see somebody like you.

be on the radio like because your mom could have gone and you're so not understood a fucking word oh yeah and they and my parents didn't get it yeah my mom still my parents like they like I think now they understand the accomplishment but at the time they were like ah ta bien te tan to can't fucking get it like you don't get it like you don't understand I'm on the fucking LA radio like second biggest market in the nation we dictate music in this like it's LA radio. It's like, you know, and like, at the time Power 106 was the, the mega, the mega radio station. It was like, if you wouldn't listen to Power, bro, what the fuck were you doing?

What the fuck were you doing? You know what I'm saying? Like, that was like being on TikTok every morning or Instagram. Every morning. You would listen to Power 106 to see what the fuck's going on. Yeah. That was our thing. You know, my parents, you know, they would watch Univision Desperta America.

For me, it was Power 106. Okay, yeah. You know? So that's what I'm saying. Like that, that accomplishment was crazy. Yeah. Obviously, your boy passed away and you felt kind of like there's no more, there was no motivation towards it no more. Nah.

And then you went back to doing regular shit. I went back to doing what was my first love, which was acting. With acting, okay. Which was like filmmaking and being creative, right? And then you get a camera from your first chick. Yeah. You do, like how you said, you've seen the world through a lens. You started working from artists from, I know you've done shit with MC Magic.

Yeah. You've done shit with the Marley brothers. Yeah. And how was like doing that, going from being the next up to being behind the camera, how was that? Like mentally, a mental thing. Because I know you went from. Well, in the beginning, it was like, cool. I was cool because I was like, man, I just get to be like, I don't have to worry about.

I'm just being creative, right? And then as I'm going, like five years into it, I'm like, okay, cool, this is cool. I'm starting to travel a lot, dog. You know, I've been to Europe, something about like all this shit, right? but then I'm like I'm starting to see like that I'm becoming like I'm getting older now and I'm not like as as pop as pop cultured as I thought I'd be and I'm seeing all I'm seeing all these rappers and I'm like and I'm starting I'm starting to see some of these rappers bubble and I'm competitive it has nothing to do with them I'm competitive I'm just like he made it

oh come on dog I got this you know and I would always just bite my tongue and not and not want to do music. No, I was just kind of like, fuck it. You know, I'm not going to do music. And it was kind of like jaded. I was jaded with it, you know? But seeing other guys make it, you know, I was like, oh, yeah, fool, I could totally. Because I consider myself to be a hitmaker.

Like, I consider myself to be a person that can make good fucking records. You know what I'm saying? Good, like, radio records, you know what I'm saying? Despite me being first, like, Mexican-American. Just making great records. Fuck, you were good at music. Yeah, hell yeah. And that's what a lot of people aren't.

good at people are good at rapping people are good at making beats but you were good at music but then there's making records there's make exactly that's what I'm saying you're making a record you're good at your versatile like your versatility is huge and then so you do that you're filming and when does the IG comedy come along the IG company call or acting just in general well acting I mean I was I was acting all through the time when I was doing the the music videos from 2010 till 2018, you know? So then I'm acting, I'm doing, I mean, I used to be like on Wilfred. I got some commercials. I, you know, I was, did a couple movies here and there, some TV shows. And then I wasn't really taking it seriously. I was booking shit, but I was still kind of like,

man, like this shit, like the money so far in between dog that I could, I could go do like three or four music videos right now and I'll make a few grand, you know, like why I'm going to do this, you know. So, and in 2018, I'm shooting a music video for Sagan and Compton Menace. Wow, I heard this story. The story's amazing, by the way.

It's amazing, but it's fucked up. It's fucked up, right? But it's amazing because that's a great turnout, right? So I'm fucking shooting this music video for Compton Menace and Saccon and L.A. And for people who don't know who Sikana is, he's one of the biggest artists like, like, in California, I mean, in the United States.

In Latin America, he's that guy. He's filling up 30,000 state, you know, I'm feeling 30,000 people stadiums. And he's, and he, real rapper shit, real cypress shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Real wrong. Yeah, yeah. He's on. He's on.

So, I'm shooting his music video and we're down to the last scene, dog. Down to the last scene. And we pull up to the miracle lights, to the Miracle Mile lights right there off of Fairfax. On Wilshire. On Wilshire. I parked the truck. I grabbed my camera, just one camera, one lens. I leave all my equipment in the truck.

we leave to take the shot we go right around the corner 15 minutes tops dog by telling we get back everything is gone everything is gone everything is gone you know everything is gone you know everything is gone you're like in a van like in the like yes yes like a white van yeah like everything is gone and you forgot to lock it or they broke in or what was the situation they just they just got into it dog i don't i mean if i mean if i can tell you how they got in bright i don't know do i think they popped it i don't know whatever the case 40 don't $1,000 worth for equipment. Yeah.

But, you know, emotionally, it was like a million dollars, dog. When you were, was there like a, like, obviously at the moment, Shaqaun and Comptominas are doing better than you. A lot better. A lot better. So were they like, it's okay, dog, but you're like, no, it's not. This is my fucking job. This is my life.

I mean, I think, yeah. I mean, I think, and, you know, I think Sechana lost, like, a gold chain because he left it in his backpack. He lost his iPad and he had a bunch of records written in there. So like everybody lost a little bit, right? But I took the biggest hit because it was all my gear, bro. Like this is everything. I had a hard drive in there in my backpack from two music videos that had shot on Honduras

that we spent 20,000 on that the people had paid 20,000 for those. Can we name the people you launched their music videos? Yeah, El Chavo. He knows. He knows. I mean, obviously. How'd you approach him about a head? Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I don't even remind me. Now, tell me the story. I'm calling him and I'm like, hey, man. No, because they knew that, oh, yeah, what happened? I was like, yeah, me rob all those gosas, manito. And he was like,

what happened? And I was like, but me revamped, but you're saying that, dog, your hard drives were in there. No, me digas. No me dig us. What do you mean? I was like, dude, I'm sorry. Dude, but at the time, I'm going full blown depression, dog. You're going to end life.

dog this is everything i've been working for for the last 10 years bro everything gone in 15 minutes i'm in hard depression dog i look dog i posted a video on social media this is and you know keep in mind i didn't have a lot of followers i had a few maybe two three thousand followers but it was all industry friends right it was all industry people and you know i used to post pictures like me at the mona lisa traveling taking pictures shooting music i'm in london i'm in london I'm in fucking sweet all this shit right 10 likes 10 likes bro I post this video and I even posted it in black and white just to keep just to give just to give it just to give it some dramatic effect so and I'm and and and and and in the video I'm like hey man they jack my

shit if anybody has any any any any any clue and this is early Instagram no this is 2018 when I when you know when they stole my shit so I do this video on Instagram and I'm like if anybody knows anything man I promise you're not ratting and I'm I do this is the most vulnerable I had ever been on social media like at this point dog fuck it it doesn't matter no more I'm laying it on social media black and white filter so even got creative in your depression video yeah with my depression feels like hopefully somebody sees this video and they're like just give them a shit back right so nothing ever happens bro and and you know again dog i'm i'm like where do i go nobody's calling me

from music videos because i don't have equipment the only people that really looked out for me was my boy um you know my cousin burst rock and the whole 27 junkies people you know what i'm saying uh cask caveman burst rock the whole 27 junkies family they came together and then threw like a little benefit party and you know we ended up making like 1500 bucks you know we ended up making like $1,500, which I ended up getting a laptop and stuff like that. But, again, I didn't have nothing to shoot, so it was still hard, you know, until I'm sitting at my boy's office, Edubs, office in Van Nuys, because he used to let me borrow just to kind of go in there and edit and get shit done.

And I'm sitting there, and I'm going through just YouTube shit, dog, and I see this video, and I'm like, it's this dude, like, no, it was this lady, like stealing something from a liquor store. And I'm watching this video and I'm like, man, that's funny. That, that liquor store looks just like the liquor store down the street right here. And I was like, you know, I think it'd be funny if I put myself in that video, if I make it seem like I'm in that video. And I ran over there, shot the video with my phone. I looked at the angles. I looked at the lighting. Keep in mind, I'm a cinematographer. So I ended up matching the lighting and all that shit, right? I wish I could do that because when I see you, get the mic.

Fucking guy, if I knew how to edit you, piece of shit. I'd be so mad at your shit sometimes. So I fucking, I post the video, dog. And the shit was like bananas. It just went, and then share, share, share, share, share, comment, comment. And this is the most comments I had ever seen in my life. I think I got like 100 comments. So more than your depressing video?

More than my depressing video, though. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Like, the depressing video didn't get, like, damn. like, well. And then I was like, okay, cool, like something's there. And people were like, yo, this shit's hilarious. And they were starting sending me messages like, yo, that shit was funny, dog, I'll do another one. And I was like, and I told my boy, I was like, nah, I don't, I don't feel like doing this comedy shit. I was doing comedy for other people. I was kind of

like, low-key writing comedy for other influencers and shit, you know? And then my dude was like, you know what, dog, you got to do your own shit, bro. Like, if you keep giving, like, what's the point? Like, just do your own shit. Like, you got to be, you don't have nothing to lose anymore dog just try to do something new and as you know what fuck it dog i'm gonna i'm gonna just start doing some of these comedy videos i'm kind of down and out type of shit you know and then i remember i did another i did another video and then i did another video and then i did one my dad and then the poppy one yeah yeah the poppy one and then it was just fucking it was just like wildfire dog you know i mean to me you know i went from having what less than less than 5 000 followers to have like 10 000

like within a month wow and then you know and you got to keep in mind like i don't have a i don't have a young generation right yeah i had like older dudes that were really following me so it took a little bit for it to start trickling out to the younger generation you know when did the when did the when did the i remember i seen the video of when the coppillar and you're like acting hard and you think you're with compton madness that was that was that was a that was another video that we shot for comp and i want to say like a year into me doing comedy and then you use you use the setting as I used the music video as a skit. Yeah, yeah, the music video set as a skit.

Nah, she's definitely like my moral compass when it comes to, like, a lot of shit. So a lot of the shit I do. I've done shit where I, like, I've done, like, pastor shit. Like, I've done, you know, clowning, like, church or something.

she's like it's okay All right, let's go get you some food And she was really sweet, dog Super supportive Super supportive Still to this day I ain't gonna have a homie His mom was very

Very, very Christian Yeah And we'll be like We'll be drunk And she'll just be talking And I'm just like Oh my God It was just so difficult

Yeah And it's different as the homie's mom Yeah But this was this was the girl You loved Oh yeah And this her mom You're probably

I'd probably hire some crazy bone wheat Oh my dad I'm faded I'm gone, dog. But she was like, you know, her mom came, like, she's with the shit. Yeah, yeah, her mom, her mom just changed her. Yeah, her mom and her dad were really with the shits.

Change your lifestyle. Really, really with the shit. But they, you know, but they changed the lifestyle. And so her mom understood where I was coming from. And, you know, like, weed. It's just weed, whatever. Yeah, it's not like you were fucking late. Oh, all fucking on one bitch.

She's all twacks. Oh, honey. Just changed. All fucking twas. But I think that. But I think that's beautiful. The fact that you could make skits about something that could be a very sensitive subject. And she's like, this is you.

Yeah. She's super supportive. Family in general, your girl in general. Yeah, everybody in general. Yeah, everybody. I mean, because they know it doesn't like, it ain't coming from a bad place, though. Like, if I'm making fun or something, it's just because I see the humor and shit, you know. That's the hobby scene.

Most of the time, I'm making fun of myself. So it does, you know, like, I've gotten backlash about like, so. For a time what you think about this. I made a skit. about couples that fight. Okay. Verbly and physically. Okay.

It's always brought my mind how couples fight physically. Yeah. I've heard stories like just randomly like that I'm going to be like, yeah, me and my girls just got down. I'll be like, okay, let's just, let's stop there. Back up. Let's just tell me the story before, right? And then I've heard, and I've heard story.

I have home girls. I have boyfriends. I don't know their boyfriends, but the home girls are like my sisters. And they're like, yeah, I'd be shocking this full out. And I'm like, okay, just let's back up again. Let's back up again. Okay. And I've made a skid about couples that like fight each other.

And people were like, well, it's not a fucking, I'm like, okay, please just let me help. Let me try to tell you why I think the sense of humor in it. Yeah. Because although I don't agree with a lot of, like, I'm not. You don't condone with ass with ass whipping. No, I don't condone with ass whipping at all. And, but I was like, especially. male to female.

I'm not all for it. Like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm not saying everybody's perfect.

People made mistakes. Cool, whatever the situation is. But I made a skit about couples that fight. And people were like, well, you think that? I'm like,

it's not that it's funny. I'm like, I just, oh, you think like domestic violence is funny. Is that what it was? Damn. Fuck you.

But, but I made a skit about domestic violence that changed my life. Yeah. Which is when, because I got home girls that'd be shocking the shit out there man's. Oh,

yeah. And I'll be like, you need to stop shocking this food dog one day he's going to react and then it's going to go a bad way then it's a problem then it and like I said I don't condone any of it because either way because I don't think girl because I've been in the car

when like the homies argue with his girl he's driving and then she just wham I'm like bro we could have died right there yeah if you would have just that's unhealthy dog but I've made a skit about it and when I made a skit when I made a skit girl to guy violence where it was like she was domestic violent once it was funny So I'm like, okay, let me try the other way around

I mean, daw, there's, you know, people are always going to have something to say, though. Like, I've done skits and where people are like, where they, oh, that's where they fucking draw the line. What was the skit that you think? I've done skits about fucking blind people, but me doing a skit about fucking McDonald's because it's McDonald's or that's where you fucking draw the line. Like, give me a fucking break. It's ridiculous, dog. It's like, I made fun of blind people. Okay.

Right? Right. I've made fun of ponies and shit. People are like, oh, my God, you're fucking using alive animals in your skits? Like, it's so wrong. Like, that pony does not want to be there. And I was like, how the fuck do you know that?

How the fuck do you know that this pony does not want to fucking be? He loves me. He's fucking, I'm eating them carrots. He takes, he's well-taking carrot. They fucking treat that pony better than they treat a human being, dog. That pony's fine, right? And then so I did a skit with, where I'm playing one of the guys that's searching for the people on the sea and the Titanic.

Right? And I'm like, is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me? Right? And then I'm in a box with no shirt on and shit, you know? And people were like, oh, my God, how can you be making fun of such a fucking thing? It's real, real people died. And I was like, I get it, guys.

But it's like there was no fucking Rose and Jack in there. And you didn't make none of fucking fuss about that. Like, what's the big deal? Like, dude, what the fuck does it matter? I'm just saying, like, you know, like, just I see the humor in. things. And there's always, people are always going to have something to say, dog. People will always have something to say, no matter what. Dog, when I, you know what's funny is that people will comment on a negative, like people will comment something negative, right? I'll get 600 comments,

700 comments on a skit. And then, you know, you'll have your haters and you'll have your negative people and all that shit. But then when I post that we just gave a thousand fucking backpacks out to kids, it's like, where the fuck those people are? Shut out Nobody's sitting there saying like Oh my God Why black backpacks? Why not red?

Like what the fuck? Like you know what I'm saying? They're not there for that You know so it's like It doesn't matter bro Like just do you bro Like you know like Nobody is gonna do nothing for you bro

So might as well just do it for yourself And just do it with the right intentions I don't do comedy to go at a specific person Yeah me either me You know I'm saying Like I don't do it purposely You know like And I try to stay away

from the politics I try to stay away from certain social issues. It's not that I'm not, it's not, you're like, because a lot of people hear me on the DM. I was like, hey, Conkley, why haven't you touched on this? Why haven't you talked on Donald Trump or Biden? And I'm like, because it's not about politics, I don't go, I don't know politics. Why, you know what I'm saying? Like, but what I do know is about a brok homie. You know what I do know, I do know about this shit, you know?

Those kids have, you think those, the kids have touched the youth the most? Probably. Yeah, bro, I, I, well, because they're so like broad. So me being a comedian Or me wanting to be a great comedian that I want to be Or excelling and getting better at my craft, right? I love the Oscar that I'm all yeah And what's the other dude?

Vargas. I love that shit. Yeah. I showed it to the homies and they were like, I don't get it. I'm like, and the comedy in me's like, bro, what the fuck do you don't get that the hummies is good? But I show them the other two's kids And they fucking, they're like, yeah.

And I'm like, okay. but I think seeing somebody like you do comedy teaches like the younger community like you I watch like and people don't know but we support each other crazy like I comment on your shit all the luckish there's a lot of shit that I learned from you

and it comes with a lot of the with the acting shit and I've had the pleasure of working with you in an actual film yeah chatta what I'm coming soon or chat don't know more yeah but I had a dope like like like so how do you try to stay

I know you've always said like you gold grains the grain. Like you don't make skits about trending shit. Nah. Which I don't either. Which I try not to. No, I mean, I try not to. I mean, like every now and then I'll do something that's like something that like, like, for example, like I did a Super Bowl skit.

But it was, it wasn't necessarily about the Super Bowl as much as it was about a situation that happens. Yeah. So it was a broke homey that wasn't bringing up into the Super Bowl party. Which we all have. Which we all have that one homie that shows up to the party with fucking empty handed and eats the most. And drinks the most. He'll bring Shasta Cola and drink the coax. Right?

Like fucking that's that guy, right? So I did that shit. And so I, you know, I try not to do things that are trendy because trendy is just what it sounds like. It's here right now and then it's going to be gone tomorrow. You know, so I try to do stuff that is going to last on my page for years to come. You know, I want people to go back and see my shit and it still be funny because it has nothing to do with the moment. You know, it's about what happens in life in general. You know what I'm saying?

So it lasts longer. It's just like when I made music, I didn't want to make music that was just here for the moment. I wanted to make music that people were going to be able to hear for a long time. For longevity. You know, like longevity music. So that's my skits, you know. That's why I don't do trendy stuff. And not that it's bad, I don't mind, you know, like, if you're a comedian, social media influencer or whatever,

and you do trendy jokes or trendy skits and I don't do the lip syncing. I don't take somebody else's joke and, like, just do it my way. Like, no, I feel like, I take the craft serious. bro. Like, I really do it. I'm really competitive, you know? And it has nothing to do with anyone else, you know? But like, say, for example, you fucking post a funny ask it. Immediately, I'm like, fuck, do you know. But you know what I'm saying? But it's friendly competition. It has nothing to do with like, I don't, like, I love you, dog. Like, we work together. We've done shit together, right? But yeah, like, if I'll see a guy and I'm like, oh, he did something funny. Okay, cool. I got you. I'm about to gas it out of here. I'm about to gas it up. You know what I'm saying? So, so, like, it's a guitar.

any competition. But yes, to your point, I don't like doing trendy stuff. Yeah, and then the acting shit. I know you got the ghetto busters. Yeah, so ghetto. Yeah, tell me. That's it all not, right?

Yeah. On Tooby? That's on Tooby for free. It's a free download. It's my first TV show where I've been, where I'm the star of it. And that's like, and that was hard because it was like, you know,

here's, I'm being catapulted into this new role of like the leading guy or whatever in the sense, you know? and you got all this money riding on you and you got all this production money right and it's like the shit's kind of weighing on your shoulders a little bit it's like action motherfucker would be funny

let's go that was hard for me when we did our chata without milk yeah because I had to learn a lot and and I could sometimes freeze up and be a little serious but we've also had the super funny moments

where it's like when we're from the Siena South of the house we're dying And they're getting mad at us because LV is sitting like, okay, you got your last 10 scenes. Yeah. But we got to figure this shit out. And you're saying stupid shit. And I'm there like, fool.

And I'm trying to get it together. Like, what was the difference in being the main? And to, I know, I mean, obviously in Orchata. Like, what was the difference between ghetto busters and Orchata Wuramuk? Orchata and Olmuk was a character that is rare. It's rare, but I've seen before. for. I know that homie. You do.

Yeah. Because I remember when we're doing the sitting, you were like, okay, let me read through this whole shit first. Yeah. Like, well, what I'm saying is like, and not necessarily Theo maniacs, right? Not necessarily Theo maniacs I've seen before, but I've been around that cholo mentality. Yeah.

And that penitentiary style of thinking of like, I just got out, but the food's been out for 10 years and that food's still on a fucking good one, dog. like I've been on that intensity, you know? But it was a different character because, again, you don't know what he is. You don't know if he's straight. You don't know if he's gay.

You don't know if he's non-binary. Like, he's just a weird character. He's just very different. He's just different, dog. He's very motivational, but very fuck you. And then he's like a fucking, no teena nada because he lives at his sister's house. But then he has it all.

But he has it all. So it's like a weird character. And it was like, again, I got to play like almost two roles. Because remember, like, I had to go back from one character to the other character, and that was difficult, because it's like, I'm literally it's like, yeah, it's like schizophrenia.

Like, I'm playing two characters, you know? Yeah, you were, yeah. And the ghetto busters, it was just more like, on ghetto busters, I was able to bring my Valley guy vibe. Fucks up, dude. It wasn't, it wasn't a character that was culturally

Chicano driven in a sense where I'm like, Hey, what's up? Hey, fool, what's up, dog or nothing? Like, it wasn't, like, culturally driven like that. It was more like, yeah, I can play just, like, concrete, like, the normal dude that went to, like, Port Elementary and shit.

And she'd be like, what's up, bro? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like, fucking rock-in. You know, even though, like, I do interject, like, my culture in it, and I do give that character, you know, Christian concrete, that the Mexican-American dude, but they weren't, like,

that's what we're looking for. We want you to be a gangster. We want you to, no, just be you. Create a character for Halapeno. You know, create a character. They didn't want to necessarily be like, yo, they didn't want to stereotype the character. Yeah. And I think that was really cool for me because I was like, all right, good.

This is the first time where I was doing something where I was in Vato 1, Thug 1, Thug 1, Thug 2, you know? Like, it was different. So that was cool, you know? Yeah. And then, before we leave, tell me about Killer Oldies real quick. So Killer Oldies, bro, is a project that I wrote. and directed. Amazing. Amazing.

Thank you. Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother. Shout out to that should kind of creep me out at first. I ain't going to lie. Yeah, man. I don't like shit like that, but.

I'm into horror films. I mean, I love comedy, but horror is something that I really enjoy writing, I enjoy doing. And so I wrote Killer Oldies in 15 minutes. And shout out to my boy Echo.

He helped me produce to join. Shout out. Yeah, shout out. Shout out the bro. Shout out to Jeff Reyes. Shoutouts to Evie Chevy and Grand Enterprises. They are executive producer

Shout us to Ashley Alvarez, Colin Michael, Steve Yagas, the whole team that was there, man. And, dude, we came up with a really cool short horror that we want to make into a feature film, you know? And I wrote this because it was like, you know, like with horror films, I kind of always write my fears, bro. Your fear is everything everything. So are you scared of being kidnapped and the guy loving oldies? Yeah, dog.

Like I've always like, oldies just have this certain tone to it of like Love fucker? creepy. No, but like creepy tone, the way it's recorded, it sounds old, it sounds, you know? And I've always correlated oldies to like, you know, and it really happened when Jeepers, creepers.

Remember, geez? creepers, creepers. Like that song is an oldie, you know? So when I heard that song in that movie, I was like, ugh. Like, and I always correlated oldies to like an old sounding record and so it's like, it always creep me out, you know?

And what I wanted to do with killer oldies was that. I wanted to mix the culture of soldis that's happening right now with guys like Joey Quignones, Trish Toledo, the Mariah Avila's, you know, all these singers that are, I'm Malik Malo, like all these guys that are creating souldies, that are creating new, new songs that sound like they were made in the 50s. It's like this new genre of music that's really popping off. Okay.

I've been, I've been tuned in. That's like the dudes that made that song. Is it anyone? They're like shit like that. Yes. Okay. I love that. Jason Joshua.

Like all these dudes that are, you know, the lakesiders, the lakesiders, you know. Their souls are old. They're young. Yeah. The escapeers.

It's like, first is like, first is like one guy and then a girl and then one other guy. Yeah. It's like a pattern to shit, right?

Yeah. I want to be like the one that tries to be positive towards the whole shit. Yeah. But then the minute it's my turn to die, it's like fuck. Trying to be positive. Like, you know, it's always like in horror movies, there's always somebody that's trying to be funny. Yeah. Like, Jason, stop doing that.
