No, Jumber, coolest podcast on the world. Today, we got LPB Pouty on the podcast. I'm feeling the music. How are you doing, man? I'm good. What's up, man? Chillin, man. Just clocking in some interviews and everything. I've been spending a lot of time listening to music. It's going crazy and you're super talented, so I'm hyped that we're in here. Appreciate it. For sure. So, Florida, talk to me about your upbringing exactly. What city we're talking about again? I'm from Orlando, West Orlando.

Okay. Cover Shores where I'm from, though. You know what I'm saying? It's a little neighborhood in West Orlando. I really, like, you know what I'm saying? Started rapping when I said, like, since I was a kid, there's a couple artists, like, you probably know, like, Whoop and Debo and all the, like, the older artists that I was listening to growing up.

Right. You know what I'm saying? I was in the streets, too, at the time, too, so I was playing sports and being, like, you know, a hot head back then in school, too. So I was, like, doing everything, really. You was a hot head in school? Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, I was.

Were just fighting every day or what? I used to get fights each to be, you know what I'm saying? All kinds of shit, they ain't a lot. I used to miss school, do all kinds of stuff. I ain't a lot of hot shit back then. That's funny because I feel like a lot of times when I talk to the younger generation of rappers that they don't really, from Florida specifically,

they don't really like know anything older than like Kodak? It's kind of like that's where like rap started to a lot of the generation of Florida kids. I've been doing it before that, But I wasn't really actually recording into a studio. I used to record off my phone and shit like that. Right. I used to go in the closet and lock myself in there

and keep the sound in there. You know what I'm saying? Record off my phone and shit. Then I would start posting a little freestyle on social media like MySpace and Facebook and shit like that. I went viral on that. And that would kind of like really like made me want to, you know what I'm saying? Start getting into the rap shit, really like going to the studio.

I started going to the studio like I was like 16. 17 around that time. So when you say you went viral, what year are we talking when you first started to get some traction? My first viral one was the bad and boogie freestyle. That had to be like 2015. Right.

2015 and 2016 around that time. Posted that bitch on Facebook and got like 4 million views on it. And did you have anybody fucking with your career who was like a bigger artist or anything or was it just you doing your thing? Yeah, I mean, a lot of artists, like big artists,

Because after I did the bat and bougie shit, offset restart, you know what I'm saying? I was like just, I was young as hell, you know what I'm saying? Just rapping and shit, ain't having nothing going on at the time, you know what I'm saying? So I won't like really like in the music shit, really. I just did it. And the freestyle took off and I was like, damn, I might as well. And then people was reaching out. A lot of people was reaching out, you know what I'm saying?

That was about it, really. Definitely. So when you say you were in the streets, like, do you grow up in a crazy-ass neighborhood? Was all this shit just right in front of you from day one? Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. One of my dad homeboys, you know what I'm saying? He got killed behind some bullshit that was going on at the neighborhood park. Wow.

An older kid had swung on one of my little cousins or some shit like that. And then a guy came by, drove by and he was shooting. You know what I'm saying? I was right there. I was probably like 10, 9 around that time. So I've seen all this shit happen. That's the craziest shit. Like, for those who don't know, Florida's kind of on fire right now in terms of a lot of activity right now.

Yeah. And a lot of this shit, when I'm reading these stories and seeing videos and stuff, I'm like, bro, there was kids around. Like, it's pretty crazy that people, like, just are down to make it happen regardless. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And a lot of shit rough out there right now. Do you think that traumatized you as a kid to a certain extent? Or did that change how you thought about life after going through that?

No, not really. At the time, I ain't know what the fuck. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, shit. I don't know, bro, I was, you know what I'm saying? I don't seem all kinds of shit. So that shit, it ain't really scared me or nothing either, really. I ain't allowed to you.

I was just, like, when it happened, you know, they made us leave and shit. Like, oh, the body was just, like, I was seeing blood, but it was, like, nothing, like, too crazy. Like, I don't know. I didn't think it was crazy at the time. I probably just, like, fuck it. Yeah. You listen to know enough rap music that you're like, well, I was ready for this kind of? I didn't really round that time.

I can't say I was ready for it because I didn't know what was going on. I was young, but I've seen it. I remember it. Now I'm old enough to know what's going on. Like, he was dead in front of me, you know what I'm that? And that's crazy for a kid to see that. But also, to a degree, like the culture and everything kind of makes you feel like this is something that you should feel like is not that out of the ordinary.

Yeah, yeah. I ain't a lot. I ain't know if it was wrong or right at the time. You know what I'm saying? So that was, shit was crazy. For sure. So, okay, you start having success with that record or that freestyle. how do you like go about trying to take your career more serious you have you have you have

rappers trying to sign you you have managers trying to get in touch all set had I reached out and then that's like a couple like probably like a year or two before I got with my management that I'm with now um tight work management before they reached out uh Sean Cotton was trying to manage me from say cheese um a couple other like like promoters from my city like who was doing like big shows and shit with other artists they was trying to get into the managing world They were trying to make me like their first artist and shit like that. Offset reached out, tried to sign me. Then I also talked to Pee-Wey Longway reached out.

Oh, wow. Yeah, Pee-Wy-Longway reached out. Where's my blue M&M's I just had? I don't know. I don't really want them, but I did have them before. Yeah, yeah. Pee-wee tried to reach out, you know what I'm saying? Who else?

Why didn't these deals work out? Like the offset thing? You were so hyped on it at first. What happened you didn't work out? When he wrote me, I was like, you know what I was chill about it? I wasn't even on Instagram. It was a fake page. Somebody had the Instagram page that I got now,

it was a fake page created by somebody else. And he was hollering at it? Yeah, and he was like, bro, Wavo, you know, I mean, offset, DM you. I'm like, he was like, you want the page and shit? I'm like, yeah, I get it. He's something in information and shit,

and I got into the page and I was responding back to him and shit. But it was like, he was talking through somebody else thinking that it was me, you know what I'm saying? But they never said nothing crazy, like, oh, I'll sign and I'm like that. But they was like texting them back every now and then then it was like bro

they hadn't reached out to me because I never had an Instagram like that was like 2017 around that time this is how new the shit was that you weren't even really thinking about like oh I got to be on all this shit yeah yeah and then like I was just on Facebook around that time I don't even got a Twitter or none of that still to this day I don't got a Twitter wow

that's good you can avoid a lot of bullshit by staying off there but yeah so boom I hadn't got the page from the I still don't know who the guy that made it you know what I'm saying he gave me the page and I went to the DMs it was all kind of blue checks in there, like, you know what I'm saying? Reaching out talking about it.

That's cool that it was a fan that was cool about it and wasn't trying to just finesse people. Yeah, that was crazy. He still ain't never telling me who he was. And we ain't even talk after that. He just was like, bro, I'm giving you the information. You could change the password, change the email and everything. Right.

And I did that, and it was just that, you know what I'm saying? But around the time they reached out, you know, like, you know what I'm saying? I ain't never push on through a deal because I was fresh into it. I ain't how management. I ain't know nothing about signing a deal. and I was just freestyle. I ain't even had a music for it. I just did that little freestyle.

I ain't recording the studio or none of that around the time. But people saw the potential there. Like, this kid's got something, yeah. Yeah, so then, like, around that year, I kind of, like, got into the studio. I started recording. I had linked up with my management that I'm with now through a friend.

He had done, he was like, man, I got the right people for you, you know what I'm saying? If you wouldn't meet him, talk to him and see what they talk about, I think you should fuck with him. I did, though. Like, it took a couple months. and I had no actually deal like a little management deal with them.

I had my mom looking to it and shit like that too, so I was straight on that. I was like 17 around the time. So like, you know what I'm saying? Through all of that, I was, I had got put on probation. I was catching charges and shit. Oh, what did you get caught up for? I got fucked up for a burglary when I was like 17. I was in 12th grade at the time.

I was almost done with school, it dropped out. You know what I'm saying? Like, because the police used to come pick. me up from school all the time and I ain't want to keep getting picked up so I hadn't stopped going to school and I was like doing a little rapping shit you know what I'm saying so I hadn't gave like the studio all my time now you know what I'm saying because I was in the street still around the time when I got my management and shit I was like fuck it this ain't where it was then I want to say like a year

into the management deal I had signed um I got put on probation for like three years it was adult probation now you know what I'm saying like my charges got weighed over to adult charges I was 17 Oh, wow. So I've been on papers for like since, since that time up to like February this year. I just got off like February off everything. My experience is that the cops in Florida are like worse than any cops I dealt with in almost anywhere else. Yeah, yeah, Florida bang a lot of bullshit.

They ain't even get fucked up while I'm from. I got fucked up in another county. I was on the road like doing shit and got fucked up. in Florida, but it wasn't my county. So you had a label deal and you were having songs go viral, but you were still fucking around. Had to get a short-term bag there?

Yeah, I ain't gonna like, yeah, exactly. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't even doing shows and I like that yet, you know what I'm saying? Paying for studio time and shit. But then again, like, I ain't had the money for all that, so I had to figure out a way how to, you know what I'm saying,

get my own bread while I can, but the rap shit was like there, but I just ain't seized the moment at the time. Right. So I was like, You know what I'm saying? But how long do you get locked up for? Or was it all probation?

No, that whole time was me probation, but I kept going to jail between the years. But before that, I got fucked up. I was locked up for like six months, you know what I'm saying, juvenile. And then, like, I had done there, like a year on community control, like on house arrest. I had to stay home for a whole year in the first bid, like in the first year of me signing papers. I completed that. and then like right when I was about to

get off like community control I had and I caught a violation fucked around now I got caught up with a gun charge it was back in 2020 last year

so I caught the gun charge where did they catch you with the gun where I was I was in my city matter of fact leaving my shoe it was like like you know what I'm saying a year after I did

community control but it was like a fair start for me like now I'm free I'm not on income on and not on house arrest. So now I can walk around, but I'm still on probation. You know what I'm saying? Do what I do. I got caught up with a gun charge after my show. That shit got thrown out.

It was bullshit. Then, you know, that year passed. Well, last year, I had ended up. I had got shot, too, last year. I ain't going to lie. I got shot of me being, I had a curfew my whole time, me being on probation, too. So that was, I had a lot of bullshit going on while I was on probation.

Holding you back from probably taking your career where you wanted to be able to take it? Yeah, so after me completing a house arrest, now I got a curfew at 10 o'clock. I got to be home at 10. Fugged around and, like, you know what I'm saying? I was out of my yard. Like, right after a funeral, like,

I just had lost a close friend, too. Wow. Like in April last year, and I got shot, like, the day of the funeral. Like a drive-by? Yeah, drive-by. Somebody drove by, shot at my house. And then, you know what I'm saying?

So after all that boy shit happened, the dresset song came out. Well, I dropped the dressette on my birthday in 2019. But, you know what I'm saying? It took off in April last year. Where did you get shot? And how bad was it?

I got hit in my back twice, like my lower back, but they said I was, I only felt one shot, but they said I got two wounds back there. I don't, I don't recall getting hit the second time, you know what I'm saying? Wow. But I ain't, it ain't, like, it shocked me, but it wasn't like, no bad pain. Like, I thought it was going to be worse than what it was. Right. I was like, cheer.

I'm guessing it didn't hit your spine or anything. Yeah, good thing, but my leg went out on me. I tried to get up and walk. That's how I knew I was shot. I tried to get up and walk, and I couldn't move there. What the fuck? How surprised would you say that you were when you got shot that time, though? Like, were you aware that you had issues with people?

No. I ain't... No, not really, but when I was in my yard, doing a lot, I was in the car, actually. I tried to climb out of the car, tried to get up. When I was walking, I felt like, I was something like, damn. Because I thought I thought it was fireworks. Oh, wow.

So I thought it was fireworks. Because I'm like, who the fuck shooting fireworks? But it was gunshots. I realized that, and I tried to take cover, and I got hit. Got out, you know what I'm saying? After they pulled it off, one of my homeboys had to help me out, you know what I'm saying? I was telling him, put me down, because I was scared I was going to be paralyzed because my leg, I couldn't feel that bitch for nothing.

Holy fuck. Like my left one, so I'm like, I'm tripping. I got a paralyzed homeboy, you know what I'm saying? I was tripping by that, so I'm like, damn, put me down, nigga. So he had to draw me down, like, he trying to stand me up. That bitch almost collapsed. He grabbed me. again like oh shit I picked me up and carried me in the house I couldn't move that bitch but I was

straight though at a day like I ain't cry or nothing like that it just I was really tripping about my legs I'm like damn I might be paralyzed that's what I was thinking how long are you in the hospital for like three days that's it yeah like three days they like the I think the next day I tried to get up and walk and it was like hurting it wasn't bad as it was when I first got shocked and I was so like I was in shock so it was you know what I'm saying but the day after I For my surgery, I got up and tried to walk. I was walking around the hospital and shit. They were like, no, no, you came.

And I'm like, man, I'm good. But that bitch was hurting me, but I was ready to go. Holy shit. You know what I'm saying? Then I had none of, they had discharged me like two days later. After that happened, fucked around to, got back. And I had another friend got killed that same night, you know what I'm saying? Holy shit.

So all this was going on as me rapping, blowing up and shit. Like my son taking off. Fuck around and go to his funeral. and everything happened. You know what I'm saying? I'm getting our feedback from different blogs and shit like that. Like people reaching out. Like now people's like trying to figure out who I am not.

I got this TikTok viral song, you know what I'm saying? That shit doing that. I wasn't even on TikTok around that time either. But I just like as soon as I got on TikTok, I was already verified and everything. So yeah, I started using the TikTok and shit. So me trying to get off probation and, you know what I'm saying, shake the street shit. Taking off and there's a little shit going on. now up to this year

I caught another gun charge the same day as last year right the same way and everything the shit is a trap though realistically because it's like you're an up-and-coming rapper who's in the streets

you can't just be going to your show without at least having someone with you strapped up like the cops are basically a request to put in a fucking death sentence on you by acting like you shouldn't be able to do that type of shit but you know what I'm saying I have security and shit though

like you know what I'm saying like now that I'm getting bigger and bigger you know what I got to move security. But I'm free, though. Like, you know what I'm saying? I got the right to carry and all, so I'm not a felon or not either, so I'm good. That's a good thing. You have the right to carry now? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Because I had completed everything. So in L.A., we all think that everybody in Florida can just have however many guns they want and never get in trouble for it. Yeah. But yeah, so this year I

had caught the same charge on the same day as last year. It was crazy. It was crazy. Do you feel like you're being really targeted or you feel like it just got unlucky multiple times? I can say I kind of feel like I was getting targeted You know what I'm saying But this one The one I caught this shit was in Miami So that was just something

Weird shit On the same day Same way You know what I'm saying But the charger got thrown out And I beat it You know what I'm saying So I kind of feel like

That was God You know what I'm saying Definitely Yeah so now I'm free now Like everything Everything happened for a reason I look at it like Because when I went in there

Like I thought I was gonna be Fucked up You know what I'm saying Because it's like my third violation and probation. I'm almost at the end. Like, I'm supposed to be off, I'm supposed to get off papers in June, June this year, but I got off early because, like, I keep getting these bullshit-ass charges and then none of them sticking. So what's the point that we got you on probation for?

You don't pay everything, you don't get all your community service hours. You don't, like, you know what I'm saying? Everything you had to do on probation, I completed it. So it was no point of me still being on supervision and all that shit, you know what I'm saying? So they terminated it. And I got out, like, February, I want to say the 23rd. I got out the 23rd, then everything. I just, like, you know what I'm saying?

So now I'm back to what, you know what I'm saying, me trying to elevate. Definitely. So how do you try to stay out of trouble at this point? Like, how do you try to avoid getting into all these circumstances and shit? No, I just try to be on the road a lot, you know what I'm saying? Like, try to stay in the studio. You know what I'm saying? Like, do, like, try to, like, do all kind of, like, shit that I need to be doing instead of being in the streets.

Because, like, I love being in my hood. Like, even though, no. now that I'm away, like, I still kind of feel like I'd be wanting to go back sometimes, but I know what's right. You know what I'm saying? It's a lot going on in Orlando, so I got to leave all that shit behind me. Yeah, why do you think that Florida is so out of control? Like, there's just so, I hear about young rappers being killed out there left and right.

It's just, and even what you're talking about and having a bunch of your friends get killed and shit, like, why do you think it's so fucked up right now? I don't know, man, I can't really say. I mean, now we all, like, I don't know. But it was a time where everything was all good. You know what I'm saying? A couple years ago. But now, I can't say, it's probably corona.

Yeah, I was thinking that. You think it makes it worse because people, like, just aren't having as much shit that they can be doing? Yeah, but I mean, I was already, you know what I'm saying? Me, I was already quarantined. I told you I was on house arrest. So I don't know, like, but now that it hit the world, that shit probably fuck.

I don't know. People was losing their minds probably. And I think that a lot, too, about just, like, the rap world in general is, like, there hasn't been any shows and shit. So people aren't running into each other. We never hear about much happening because motherfuckers are just staying home. But I mean, I guess that's why you hear

about a lot of people getting killed in their neighborhoods and shit. Yeah, there's got to be some other inside shit. I don't know, bro, to be honest. How do you feel you've kind of like been able to change up your musical style or like what direction you're going in? Because I feel like your stuff now, like it feels like you've got a bunch of records out right now that sound like they could be straight hits.

And I wonder, like, how you kind of got to the point of really being that good musically? Like, I was always good at freestyle. Like, I like the freestyle a lot. You know what I'm saying? Then I'm all, I love writing music, too. Like, most of my songs, that's, like, the ones that's hit now, like, I don't say, like, Batman, that's a freestyle.

Dressor was started off as a freestyle, but I ended up writing because the beat was so fucking hard, so I was like, no, I can't play with this one. You know what I'm saying? But my freestyle always seem to go, you know what I'm saying? Go viral and they fuck with them. Like, you know what I'm saying? So I like the freestyle laying right, but when I write, I feel like I get into like a more creative world, you know what I'm saying? And, you know, at least another side of me.

So you're just listening to the beat and write out your verses like that? Yeah, like I've been in studio and you're laying the beat, just keep on repeating itself. I put a loop on it and I just write to it like that. And that's how I come up with. That's interesting. I feel like sometimes we're so used to hearing people punch in that you really get something different when you hear a rapper go out of their way to make something sound. Yeah, I kind of actually just got into the little bit. punch-in shit like last year. I wasn't doing that like when I first started. I just started like doing that but I was just to go and just like freestyle and like I can make a freestyle and they're like I'd be on live freestyle and they'd be like turn this to a song you know what I'm saying I don't hurt there bitch so many times I got it in my head now. And I go lay it down on the track

you know what I'm saying? Yeah definitely yeah it's pretty crazy you know a song with rod wave like way before he popped off yeah that's wild I met rod I want to say around the same year like 20 18, I want to say we had done did some shit. He had them reached out to me. He hadn't them dumped me, you know what I'm saying? And one of my homeboys seen it before I seen, they were like, man, Rod Wave hit you up, go up, respond by him, I'm like, oh yeah, I'm gonna fuck with him

because I heard a few of his songs, like the Heartbreak Hotel around that time. That was like one of the big, like, one of Florida's, like, known song, like, that's all around Florida. Before I even knew how to fuck he even look, I just heard of the song, you know what I'm saying? So I had him say, yeah, I'm gonna fuck with him. And I hadn't reached out.

I mean, he reached out and we had a linked up and did it. He came to Orlando. He was like, come to the studio, man, pull up on me. I'm like, all right. And that night we had made the song. So, yeah, I had to pull up and fuck with him. Definitely. Yeah.

In terms of, like, your style, how would you describe it? In terms of, like, what makes you a little different from the average rapper out there? Because you definitely have a bit more melody or just sort of like, you seem like you have a particular talent for making shit kind of catchy and appealing like that. Yeah, like, the way I deliver and shit, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't mumbo rap. I don't know how to, like, real deal, like, you know what I'm saying? I try to get my words through fluently, like, you know what I'm saying?

And I, like, I got bars, like, you know what I'm saying? So I try to, my word play crazy, you know what I'm saying? So I'd be on some whole other shit. Like, a lot of people, a lot of rappers that's coming up, I feel like they just be like, you know what I'm saying, mumbo rapping, just trying to say anything. Like, they don't even get their words through all the time, you know what I'm saying? To make it sound good. And they'd be fucking, like, people heads up, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like I'm going to do too much type of rapper.

Really? That's what I feel like, because my engineer, like, he always be like, man, simple shit always go, you know what I'm saying? But he don't be saying that like, oh, you're doing too much, you know what I'm saying? He'd be like, man, you know what I'm saying? Try to do some shit. Like, that's real, real catchy. Like, that's crazy how you say, like, my shit, catchy and shit.

Like, I don't, I feel like I'm only good at, like, verses. I don't know how to, I'm not good with hooks, but they always be like, It hooks crazy. Really? But I make my, I fuck around and, like, give, like, a whole 16 or, like, 24 for a hook. And they'd be like, and I take some out of that and put it. And they'd be like, no, man, that's too much. Like, use this simple shirt here and put it for this, you know what I'm saying?

So that's what I feel like I'm going to do too much type of rapper. But whose opinion do you actually take when it comes to your music? I'm assuming not everybody can just give you an opinion and you'll listen. Yeah, I mean, I don't, I say, I don't. listen, you know what I'm saying? But me and my engineer, we've been rocking since 2017-2016 type shit. So he know what I'm good at and he like, you know what I'm saying? He's an engineer so he don't court it multiple artists so he know what, how to come and how like he he doesn't seem what they be doing this shit. He'll try to give me a little rundown on the

shit and shit and stuff like that. So yeah. Definitely. Um, okay, so in terms of your like music fandom, like when the whole SoundCloud rap shit was coming out, was that something that you were paying attention to because obviously like a huge part of those artists were coming out of Florida like were you listening to X and and all these guys as they were coming out? No, I ain't a lot. I wasn't. I wasn't. Only one I was really listening to is like Kodak. But that was after LaBousie, Gucci Man and Louaun and artists like them and shit. You know what I'm saying? But Kodak was young. He was a couple of like probably like a year or two older than me. I used to always say that at that time in Florida it was kind of like the X side of things and the

Kodak side of things and it was like different worlds or rap. Florida at that time. Like, I didn't really listen to X. I'm not going to, I didn't really listen to him until, like, when he passed, you know what I'm saying? And I went back and heard some of his shit. Like, I fuck with some of his shit. But it wasn't, like, really my lane.

Like, some of the shit was kind of different. You ever met him? How was that? I ended up taking up a picture with him on my birthday when I was, like, 16, I want to say. Oh, really? I was turning 16. That's dope. Like, you know what I'm saying?

I had them at, um, at our mall inside Orlando. He had a show down there that night. Right. I wasn't old enough to go, you know what I'm saying? But it's crazy. I ran into him at the mall. How would you describe his impact on Florida rap or just like the culture out there in general? Because he's like pretty much the longest standing, like big artist out of Florida.

And I like, Kodak kind of like, he made the way. He made all young dudes, you know what I'm saying? Feel like like they can have a shot at especially me, you know what I'm saying? From that state? It wasn't like a lot of young dudes. And really Kodak was like one of the first rappers to pop off off the internet as a street rapper with no cosign. Exactly. Did not have like a future saying like, oh, this is my new artist.

Yeah, type of shit, you know what I'm saying? So as me seeing that, I'm like, damn, you know what I'm saying? I knew I could rap too. I'm like, boy, I could probably be in that position one day. And then I have so many people in my ear like, man, go for it. You know what I'm saying? So that was big. Like, you know, Kodak at that time, it was nobody really in the game like that young.

You know what I'm saying? But you know what I'm saying? I ain't never, I ain't listened to La Wayne, because La Wayne came in, we were like 17, 18, right? He was young and shit, but I was listening to Lowell and he was like 14, but I was a fucking little kid by then. Like, he has had so many careers, really, like, over and over, like, he's like a different artist,

many different times. You said 14, I ain't even know about it. I'm telling you, I found, like, because I was in high school when I seen a Wu-Tang CD in the computer lab, and I love Wu-Tang at the time, I pick it up, and there's a little Wayne CD in there. I'm like, that dude?

I'm like, fuck, I guess I gotta listen to it, you know? Yeah, yeah. I was like, wow, it's good. So, yeah, when the Kodak came out, that shit was big. 100%. Okay, so do you feel like having lost so many people with your music and stuff? Does that make it more and more important that your music is, you know, speaking on behalf of all the people that you lost?

Is that something that's going through your head at times when you're making music? Yeah, all the time. I got a lot of little, like, you know what I'm saying, paying records, because everybody knows I can talk some street shit, talk about, doing this and that but I try to like I'd be trying to sing a little bit now and shit like that like spres though like how I'm feeling inside and shit like that's why I make all my music like to where I can make them feel me you know what I'm saying I always want the listener to always like see what I'm coming from you know what I'm saying like always like damn it's some deep shit like he

he talking this shit you know what I'm definitely because I can rap I can just get on any beat and just do that but I don't know I don't know already over like you know what I'm saying done did that already so I'm in a different lane now. Yeah, I try all kind of shit when I'm rapping, though. You know what I'm saying? Like, my shit gonna be real. I ain't gonna never just, like, I can't rap somebody else lifestyle.

I always try to, like, people who, like, new listeners, like, the ones that I already know what I'm doing, you know what I'm doing, you know what I'm saying? I always, like, try to, like, grab the listener to, like, you know what I'm saying? They could be like, damn, this is what he's doing. Like, this is him, you know what I'm saying? It ain't no fake shit, this real deal. So that's the kind of shit I'm being on.

Definitely. I'm sure you're not like a totally impartial observer to all this shit, but how do you feel about all the craziness that's been going on Jacksonville and stuff with some of these wild-ass diss songs? Crazy shit, I'm on the internet just watching videos about this shit like it's a fucking soap opera. How do you feel about it? That shit be funny. I ain't a lie. I don't speak about, you know, like the dead and shit. I don't be getting that.

I don't understand that part. Like, you know what I'm saying? You ain't got no, like, involvement into that was the why to fuck you, you know what I'm saying? I'm not big on that, but I, that's them, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't really too much have a say song about how people do shit and how they be going on, but I know what I'm on, you know what I'm saying? So I don't be on the eye. It's great, I guess, but I mean, I just don't fuck with it. It ain't in my lane.

So you don't like to carry out your beef super literal on music? I mean, I don't address some, like, a lot of shit. You know what I'm saying? That I'd be going through. I got a song called Address It. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So that was like on some, like, I don't consider those songs as dizzes because I ain't

saying just anything. I'm speaking some real shit. Like, I'm addressing a situation about this and that. You know what I'm saying? I'm telling you how it is. I ain't just saying I'm smoking this person, smoking that person. That ain't me. You know what I?

Yeah. To me, it's like, you know, I can appreciate that I understand that people have real, real issues with each other that aren't going to go away anytime soon. But at the same time, like, it's just, it's hard for me as an adult to be hearing about people talking about smoking 15-year-old kids and shit, bro. It's just, it's just so demonic and it's so hard for me to, like, even if I understand the appeal, it's just like, bro, can we just not do this? Can we be a little better than that? Yeah, I mean, shit's crazy, bro. I don't get it.

What, um, what happened that incident in the mall that I, uh, saw this crazy-ass video of you and the rapper Kaysu, who recently went viral because he, uh, caught a body was pops or whatever? Yeah. That was bullshit. I mean, I never met dudes, so I don't know where that came from. Really? You didn't even know anything about him when that happened? No, I don't even know, dude. Like, I never, we never, that was our first time ever seen each other, you know what I'm saying?

So I don't really too much. That shit was bullshit. That's all I could say. I mean, hey. It was weird because in the video, you almost hear the cops kind of like saying that you handled it right. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Then I was on probation at the time. Like, niggas be trying to crash and do stupid shit, you know what I'm saying?

Like, I got my, like, my dad still in my life, so he gave me the, you know what I'm saying, the rundown about shit. Like, he, he's been there every step, so I know right from wrong, you know what I'm saying? So I'm smarter than a lot of niggas, you know what I'm saying? I ain't dumb, I ain't just, like, he was, like, niggas be ignorant. I don't know what I went on that bullshit what's going on. But I, like, you know what I'm saying? A nigger ain't fin to just try to make it seem like I'm pussy or something like that.

You know what I'm saying? Like, it's respect due to a dog, you know what I'm saying? Like, you got to respect a nigga because I'm all. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't going to underestimate nobody. And that's where that kind of probably, like, probably what it was, you know what I'm But you can't just let somebody else put you in, but there's a lot of people who say that you should, but I think you're like, you can't just let somebody else put you into a position

where you're going to, what, commit a felony in a mall on camera? Exactly. It's like, you can't just let somebody ruin your life for you. Yeah, definitely. You know what I'm saying? As a matter of fact, I was talking to, um, with Ross. he said some crazy shit he was like don't let a $1,500

nigger you know what I'm saying ruin everything for you you know what I'm saying I took them like damn that's some shit he said because think about how much smoke Ross is probably like basically not even like pussyed out of but just basically ignored

or just sort of like let somebody else handle it or whatever like to be successful for 20 years you're going to have to do that at some point yeah yeah for sure definitely you know what I'm saying I think like that not a lot of like younger kids like Like, well, younger cats, like my age, think like that. They're just going to be on some shit.

Like, oh, I got to prove a point. I never had to prove a point by nothing, you know what I'm saying? I'm just me. So that's why I. Definitely. I mean, it sounds like you've basically had a lot of different close calls where it's pretty easy for you to imagine what it would be like, you know, not getting out of prison until you 30. Yeah, I mean, I could have been on that time.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I used to be rough, you know what I'm saying? Like, I did all kinds of shit. But now I got a little girl and shit. shit too so I got it's my first child and shit so I'd be on some grown man shit I'm only 21 but I've been like I've been I feel like I've been grown since I was 15 you know what I'm saying so I'd be a head of shit already your kid will make you think about shit different huh yeah definitely like my little girl I got a beat up for you know what I'm yeah like if I'm not around I'm really fucking up now yeah

definitely hmm for sure how old is you kid she's two she turned two in December of course I I'm 37 interviewing a 21-year-old and his kids a year and a half older than mine. I just had my first one too, so I'm all geeked up, even though I waited my whole fucking life to have one. Man, that's amazing. I ain't a lot to you, boy. For sure. Yeah.

Okay, so where, oh, yeah, so how do you end up in the studio with Ross and what was that experience like? The minor label that I'm signed to a chameleon, Prescott, you know what I'm saying? Like, he fucked with people like Ross and, like, you know what I'm saying? He got a lot of pull in the game, you know what I'm saying? So he ended up having Ross pull up to listen to some music and shit. We ended up doing a song together, you know what I'm saying? So he was fucking with me that hard.

He was like, yeah, this for the nigga Raw, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, I fuck with him. We ended up doing a song and shit like that. And then also Jack Harlow was in the studio too, but he was in a session like across the like house. Like I was in a different part of the house. You know what I'm saying? Like recording the studio. He was there.

But he'd been there, you know what I'm saying? I had them talked to him that night when Ross came. Like, we was there all week together, but we never said none until Ross came, because he was doing this shit. I was doing my shit, you know what I'm that? So they ended up coming back there, and like, you know what I'm saying? Ross came through. We were chilling this shit.

I played a couple of songs for him. He was fucking with it. And then he ended up getting onto one of my tracks, you know what I'm saying? He sunk the verse back the next morning. Wow. I was like, damn, what's up? Did Rick Ross roll up, like, like a king? but kind of just imagine him like entering with like a like there's music playing and they like roll out a

carpet for him and shit no no like he came in in florida i just feel like that's how rick ross is moving yeah ain't like he ain't like he didn't come with an entourage i think it was just him and like two other dudes you know what i'm saying they came in on some cool shit you know what i'm saying they popping bottles and shit though it made it look like a movie you know what i'm saying so it was it was dope respect for that for sure yeah for sure um okay so What do you plan on to do to basically, you know, continue your career from here? You got a bunch of good records and stuff. You're plotting on an album?

Or what's the idea? Yeah, definitely an album. You know what I'm saying? I got to, I'm trying to, like, feed the streets a little more. Like, you know what I'm saying? Because a lot of people still don't even know. The streets know who I am, but the industry, a lot of people don't know that I'm the face of those two viral TikTok songs, Batman and address it.

And that's what we're basically, like, focusing on now, trying to get them to, like, know who Pooty is. You know what I'm saying? Like, who made a dress it? Who made Batman? You know what I'm saying? So that's what our main goal is right now. And then I'm probably going to come out with, like, another tape of some shit like that. Like, I probably, like, don't release.

And my whole time of rapping, like, this is like my third tape I'm probably going to release. You know what I'm saying? But with the label, this is going to be my first one. For sure. You know what I'm saying? And then an album down the line, I'm trying to just build up to where I can get to album, like, you know what I'm saying, mold type shit. Definitely.

Has Pouty been your name since you're a kid? Yeah. My mom gave me that shit. A lot of people ask about that. They were like, where do you get that from? My mom named me that when she was in birth, she had told me she lost a close friend the same night. His name was Pudy, and she gave me that name.

You know what I'm saying? Okay. He died that next morning or some shit like that. Whoa, really? It was crazy. That's wild. And what's the LPB? Oh, Lightpole, baby.

I came up with that because, my grandma still staying the same house that that she'd be like that my dad grew up in you know what I'm saying so we still got that house you know what I'm saying

it's like a light pole in front of it I used to have to be in before the street lights you know what I'm saying so I used to want to still be outside the house like they used to tell me like know how like some kids got like you gotta

after like a certain type of like time or the night you got to be in your yard I couldn't leave between this light pole and not light pole You know what I used to call me Light pole baby Because I should stay in between them Okay

So that's where I get that from Did they always tell you You're like a little bit of an old soul Like you seem to a little bit more grown up than your age Yeah, all the time Yeah All the time You're very, very well spoken for your age

Which is very rare for a young rapper Like it's just Yeah It's not always that they're this good on camera Yeah all the time Oh I said I feel like I've been growing since I was 15 You know man You done a lot growing up
