No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world, and today we got one of my favorite
of incoming rappers out of L.A. is RIMB.
It's RIMBO.
It's RIMBO.
That's besides the point, man.
How you feeling?
I'm all right, man.
Rough morning, but it's getting a lot better.
Rough morning, how so?
Woke up late at about noon.
Just, no, I'm just kidding.
I just woke up late.
Had to do everything rushing.
For sure.
Introduce us to your friend here real quick.
This is my boy, B.A., man.
I'm going to be a course to be regular for sure.
You rap too?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's what's up.
You guys both from San Pedro?
I'm from San Pedro.
I'm from Harbor City.
Right.
You too?
Harvard City, California.
Okay.
Because I lived in Long Beach for a long-ass time.
So to me, San Pedro was always, like, a place where we would go to ride bikes and stuff.
There's like a bunch of famous bike riding schools and spots out there.
But I don't know.
I never really knew of a rapper from out there.
You think of the first one?
No.
No?
Who else we got?
My boy D-Rod.
Okay.
My boy, J. Foe.
There's some more people rapping.
It's just I'm the, I guess I'm the first one to really get the light,
you know what I'm saying, the attention.
Right.
My boy, a trick, free tricks.
But, yeah.
So you're basically the person who's gotten the biggest name so far coming up out of there?
Yeah.
Which is pretty crazy considering L.A. rap has been big for 50 years.
Yeah.
They overlook my city.
They do, huh?
They sure do.
What's it like out there?
Because for us, it's like we're kind of used to do.
driving through and it seems like a pretty nice area but you can tell that there's definitely
some cutting neighborhoods and shit um it's smooth out there if you if you're a civilian it's okay
but um it's like a secluded city it's like San Pedro is like boxed in like it's like
everybody know everybody um predominantly Mexican um it's cool okay what was your upbringing like
both of your parents were around um my dad has been locked up for the majority of my
Right. You said he had a life sentence.
Yeah. Something that snitched on them.
They lived at the life sentence, thanks to God.
Oh, really?
Just a couple years ago, yeah.
What was that about?
Shit, I don't really want to talk about it.
Okay. But your whole life, he's been away?
Since I was like five.
Okay. Wow.
So what was your relationship with your mom like?
She was holding it down?
My mom did her best, did her thing.
Like, single mom, she made sure she kept, she actually moved us out of San Pedro.
Okay.
When my dad got arrested, she made sure she took us out of the environment to where there would be no other outcome, but a bad outcome for us.
You feel what I'm saying?
So she moved us out of the area, but as I got older, you know, you just want to, you feel what I'm saying?
You just want to do things.
So I chose, I chose the, my mom did her best, but I chose, you feel what I'm saying?
She took me out of a bad environment, and I chose to go back.
Right.
So you were getting trouble from an early age?
Yeah, I was getting, like, going to school and stuff.
I was getting kicked out of schools and stuff like that.
And it was just me and my mom, my brother, my grandma.
Uh-huh.
So the schools out there, like, was there, like, were there gangs, like, around you as you're growing up and shit?
Or is it kind of different?
So my mom moved us out of San Pedro.
Right.
So I didn't go to school in San Pedro.
I went to school all over.
I moved from San Pedro to Compton to Long Beach to Lakewood to Bellflower.
Oh wow.
I've been all around.
So that's what gave me the opportunity to be able to know so many people.
Whereas my city is locked in.
So that's why probably the other rappers from my city didn't get the light.
Right.
Because it's so secluded.
Yeah, because I mean for people who don't know,
it's like you very much have to go over this bridge to get there.
And once you get there, you might feel like this is just another beach
city, but it is kind of closed off.
Like, I'm assuming that probably the vast majority
of L.A. rappers have never even been
there. Like, you kind of have to have a reason if you
wanted to go over there. Yeah. I mean,
I'm sure a lot of people have
been there, though. Yeah. I never, I mean,
usually people tell me they've been in San Pedro,
but they don't know too much about it. Right.
So, yeah,
that's interesting. Going to school in Lakewood and all that
kind of shit. Like, as a young
kid who's going around to a whole bunch of different schools,
is there, you know,
I just, L.A. is so much about
where you're from and everything that I could just imagine like a young kid popping up at a different high school that it might be some weird energy was it was it was ever messy just going all these different schools no no it's pretty cool it was pretty cool I didn't go like the difference when I was going to a lot of different schools I was younger so I don't even remember all the different like preschools kindergartens and first grade second grade all that stuff I don't remember but um the schools that I remember I never had no problems and I have I had no problems and I have I
The problem that I had in school was the problems I brought upon myself with my misbehavior.
But other than that, I didn't have no problems with people.
Right.
Were you rapping the whole time or when you started rapping?
I just started rapping like two or three years ago.
Okay.
And I was probably my boy, I remember my boy, I brought some studio equipment to my house.
So when he did that, it was just like a new thing.
It was like, I don't know, it seemed like something fun to do.
So we just started recording.
Right.
And when it's been right from there, we just kept going.
still rap too. What kind of music were you listening to growing up? Is there local shit?
Or were just more of the usual shit?
Growing up younger, I was listening to a lot of Kendrick Amar, J. Cole, Chance the Rapper.
As I got older, I started, that was when I was younger because my big brother had a big
influence on what I was listening to. I grew up close with him through all my whole life,
so he was listening to all the conscious rap and stuff like that, and I liked it.
But then I started listening to, um, he also put me to Domney.
Kennedy.
Shut of Don,
legend, for real.
Legend, for real.
I got to get him back on you.
I listen to everybody,
I listen to all types of music.
Was there a moment where you sort of started to realize,
like, oh, there's a lot of really
fire gangster rap
coming out of L.A. and you sort of
pivoted to being more interested in that
shit? No, I started
rapping just because my boy, I brought that studio
to my house. Okay. We had made some, like,
it was like everybody was off Lil Yadi
and stuff like that back then. My friends was like,
off a little yadi so we was making like them type it was like them type of beats like yeah you
were doing the auto tune and trying to sing and shit not they was but I was just rapping with the
auto tune right definitely um but you said that like draco was became your your favorite rapper at a
certain point uh when I was around like so that was that's probably like when I was around like
15 16 from 15 that's when Draco was like right they're
I became a Drakeo fan off of I am Mr. Mosley too.
And that made me go back to listen to all his music and stuff like I've been following
them ever since.
I was almost surprised.
Like as soon as I started listening to you, I was like, oh, he's definitely a Drakeo fan.
I could tell him just little things and shit.
And then I was thinking about my, why does that surprise me?
And I was like, that surprises me because I feel like so, like almost anyone who's like your age
rapping out of L.A., you got to realize the impact that Draco had because he's like, one
of the most important rappers of LA like the last 10 years, but not a lot of people really
want to admit it because LA is so crabs in a barrel, pardon my French, but you know, there's
just so many people that like are clicked up in certain ways and they don't really want
to give credit to somebody who they see as like an up-and-coming rapper much like him.
Yeah, it's good to see like a guy like you who's like younger and it's easy for you to just
acknowledge like yeah, he's a huge influence.
Yeah.
He's been artist for it too, consistently.
Definitely.
When did you start, like, in high school and stuff,
when would you say you kind of started to get exposed to the street shit
or start gravitating towards that?
I had a late start.
So, like I said, my mom took us out of that environment.
But once I was able to do my own thing, move around,
go where I wanted to go and stuff like that,
then I just dove right in.
I looked up to my big brother that I didn't grow up
where he was in prison.
for about seven years.
So when he got out, I was probably,
I was 15 when he got out.
So ever since he got to jail,
I was just looking up to him.
And I just wanted to be like my big brother.
Uh-huh.
And he had just done seven years in prison,
so he's telling you about all kinds of shit
you didn't really know about?
Opening my mind up to the world.
Opening my mind up to things
that I would have never thought about.
So it was just at one time, though.
So imagine a 15-year-old kid.
Right.
But in a good way or a bad?
bad way because him coming out of prison he got to know about all the bad shit one thing about my um
my family is they're very uncut so it's not a bad it's not like they're telling me nothing bad but
they're just being extremely real definitely um okay so you started out making music and
everything like that when did it actually become more of a serious thing when you when did you start
to get some traction uh my first one my first one didn't go crazy or nothing
but it got traction.
Like, it did better than a lot of other people.
So I was just like, I just kept going out of,
I dropped my first song called Fortnite.
And then after that, I dropped something called Smokey.
I just kept going with singles after singles after singles.
Like, I was just, I was finding myself.
Right.
I knew I was going.
I knew I had it because my first song did numbers.
But it's interesting because it sounds like you were,
you kind of came up organically, just off YouTube.
Like you weren't doing shows, I'm assuming.
or you weren't really like having shit go viral on Instagram necessarily.
It was just pure YouTube.
Them feeding that shit to people.
Taking beats off YouTube.
And rapping over them and dropping single after single.
Single after single.
I was not trying to oversaturate myself and drop bullshit to where somebody adhering and be like,
I don't like him.
You know what I'm saying?
I want to all my music to, I want to each song to be one of them.
Right. Definitely. Do you feel like, what's your creative process like? Because I feel like your stuff, it stands out to me as like very well put together and well written. And a lot of rappers just punch in and whatnot these days. Like, are you preparing your verses in advance or what's the thought process there?
More recently, I've been punching in just because I ain't been having that much time. And things have been a lot different. But I started off,
writing, but now me and my boy, we just be in the studio.
He had every session, and we just be, I don't know,
we just be talking shit to each other and whatever work,
whatever something.
Gordon Ramsey was like, we just talking shit to each other.
Really?
Yeah.
That's interesting.
Because I see that with rappers where they go back and forth with, like,
one of their homies a lot in the studio kind of, like, when they're coming out with bars.
It was almost like one guy will, like, say one,
and then the other homie will say something that kind of rhymes with it.
Because, you know, sometimes it's kind of overwhelming, right?
Just like looking at that notes app on your phone.
Can't do that.
If you overthink it is going to lie, you can't do that.
You just got to let it happen.
But all throughout our day, we just be laughing and joking about shit.
So when we get in the studio, the beat come on, we just start feeling the beat
and just saying all this shit we were laughing and joking about.
You're recording the crib or you go to the actual studio?
I go to an actual studio.
Okay.
You like that more than recording and the more?
I'm going to start.
I'm going to get a home studio.
But right now, I'm recording there.
Right.
Talk to me about how you know him and how the, like,
when do you realize that he was really going to be going up as a rapper?
When I first met him, it was when I came home from jail.
I did like two years in the fit.
So I met him at the baseball game.
We had a little baseball game in the neighborhood.
Everybody come out and play baseball.
Okay.
So that's my first met him.
then like what did you do two years in the feds for i got to know uh i don't talk about that
you guys are very low-key i like it well actually as an interview i don't really like it but
somebody wants to see you stay out of jail i respect it yeah so yeah i met him at the baseball
game and then uh we had start linking because i add them on instagram and we got start linking
going to parties and shit doing our little thing and then uh we just start linking outside of that
like going to get food and shit like you know what I'm saying just doing us regular what
niggas do you know what I'm saying then like he had started taking rap more serious and like
stand away like from the neighborhood and shit so I hit him up like what's up like lean he was like
like I'm out here I link dropped the location I pull up I'm saying so we was tight ever since then
that shit after that I'm going to
studio sessions with him every time.
He's like, bro, what's you doing?
I'm like, I ain't doing nothing.
I'm just chilling.
And the neighborhood, pull up.
I'm over there.
We just do our thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Ever since then, we've been tight.
And it's been every day.
For sure.
And then like, this is my boy.
What's your neighborhood like?
He's making this sound kind of heavy.
It could get heavy.
It's what I'm saying?
Like, it can get in the neighborhood.
Right.
But I've been to San Pedro Mad Times,
and I'm also starting to say,
Pedro now instead Pedro which is how I started.
Pedro, yeah, I forgot.
But I never like really seen like how it goes down.
Yeah.
If you're on Pacific, you're going to see what we see.
If you're on Western, you're going to see near Palace Verdes and nice things and stuff like that.
It just depends on where you have.
But it's Pedro.
I love it.
It's a beautiful city.
Yeah, it is.
There's a beautiful kinked rail that I can show you guys that all the skaters and BMX riders go to that you
probably be like oh yeah I've seen that before one of my big brothers oh what's up gee how you
doing um okay so yeah when when did okay so the music starts kind of popping off just
organically through YouTube and stuff one one thing that I noticed that was kind of unique to me is
I seen a very very young blue face and he was mentioned in the baseball game you're actually
in like the baseball fucking dugout or some shit you're on the bench and blue face is just in the video
did you know him like it kind of looked like it was blue face before he was
He was even really famous as a rapper.
He was going up.
That was when he was just going up.
Like he was already going up, but like this was like, he was already going up though.
Like it wasn't like he wasn't famous.
He was famous.
Like he was just, this is when his numbers was climbing like consistently.
Early days.
Yeah, it was because my neighborhood is good with his neighborhood and we got a baseball game.
Okay.
Against his neighborhood and been in shorelines.
And you were just like, we got a baseball game against Blueface.
I'm going to pop up, shoot this video.
I was supposed to shoot the video.
We didn't even know Blueface was coming.
Right.
Then when I seen Blueface, I was like, low-key kind of starstruck.
I'm like, damn, what the fuck?
Then all the, you know, all the bitches start going crazy.
Then everybody started taking pictures with them.
And then we just shot the video.
Right.
Did you know anybody from the Stink Team at that time?
No.
Around then, you didn't even know anybody like that, right?
I felt like I've always known the Sting Team
every since I was 15, though.
I'm a heavy Draco fan.
It was like natural.
You were a heavy enough fan, though, that you were paying attention to Ralphie and all these people that were part of the stink team.
Yeah, Ralphie, catchy, good for that.
RIP catchy.
RIP catchy.
That's some crazy as shit, huh?
Crazy as you.
Isn't that terrible?
Yeah, okay.
So, but early on, like, who was the first people that really kind of noticed your talent and acknowledged that you're doing something dope music-wise?
Because even in that old-ass video, to me, it's super obvious.
Right.
I hate you rapping.
I'm like, this guy's fucking good.
Right.
I used to tag everybody in all my music and stuff like that.
I think I tagged AD before.
AD had commented.
Ralphie had commented years ago.
I used to just tag everybody.
I was trying to come up.
I knew I had it, so.
Right.
Definitely.
So how did Draco actually end up tapping in with you?
I made a freestyle video, posted it, and I tagged them.
I sent it to him.
And like five minutes later, he commented on it and DM me.
and it's been a dream come true from there.
Really?
So he came through and did the video with you
and did you guys start discussing the idea of signing right away?
I'm not assigned to Draco.
I'm signed to Warner.
Oh, okay.
But he fucking, like, he told me, like,
he asked me if I wanted to be a part of the Sting team
and stuff like.
He said it's like a family.
Like, he told me it was like a family thing
and stuff like that.
He was a real genuine person.
Yeah, I was surprised when I saw that
because every time I think of the Stink Team,
I just think of all these dudes
that I've seen him with since, like,
super early in his career.
So the idea anybody knew being added or whatever,
that was kind of like a new idea.
So that kind of says a lot.
Because I feel like Drakeo's like one of the number one people
that just don't fuck with anybody.
And especially new people.
It would seem like that.
But when I started fucking with Drakeo was like,
he real, he just like any one of my homies or something like that,
it felt real natural.
Like I said, we all came up listening to Drakeo.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, he is, once you get into the Army,
he's a really cool guy.
He's just probably like the ultimate dude who is.
weary of everybody like you know he just he don't trust easily you know
I think Draco has misunderstood um Braco much he's much he's much better of a person
than what the what people portray him as for sure yeah I mean if you listen to his
lyrics that's one thing about Draco is that his lyrics just if I was like a
L.A. rapper and I wasn't cool with him I would listen to his lyrics and be like I hate
this dude I want to beat this guy up he's like he's the most disrespectful
rapper maybe ever exactly
Every verse is just sunning whoever.
You don't know who he's talking about,
but when you hear about people not liking Dreyko,
it's like, well, I listened to his last song.
I'm not that surprised if people don't like him
because it sounds like he's just violating everybody.
That's what raps about, right?
He's doing him.
Definitely.
Okay, so how is that kind of changed how you're looking at music,
or how do you end up signing a Warner
before even that co-sign?
It went crazy.
Ruth Chris, I did the song of Ruth Chris, then no competition, then Gordon Ramsey.
Yeah.
These are songs that's doing millions of views back to back and constantly going up.
So did you have a bunch of different labels hollering at you, or how did this go?
Yeah, ever since, it was after no competition and really, it's just like all three of those
as a collective Ruth Chris, no competition, and Gordon Ramsey after them was set and growing.
everybody start typing it.
How come you decided to go a Warner
and do you feel like you got a suitably large bag for that?
I was more comfortable with them.
I was the most comfortable with them.
They made me feel the most comfortable.
And how do you feel about the payment that you received?
That changed your life or?
I'm great.
Feel good.
I'm great.
A lot better than you did before?
A lot better. I'm great.
That's dope.
That's good to hear.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, it seems like you have had like a real quality over quantity approach.
A lot of rappers in general that just kind of put out a million things.
With you, it's like each video, each song stands out a lot.
Like when I went to your, because I had just watched all the videos.
And then this morning when I was driving to work, I'm like, I went to the iTunes.
And then I realized like all the songs pretty much have videos already on YouTube,
which I think is important because otherwise it's really hard for a song to stand out.
Exactly.
Definitely.
You're a big Grito fan too?
because I noticed you have never been, never fold.
Definitely.
What do you like about him?
Like what stood out to you in terms of what made Grito seem so great?
All right, so I talk about oversaturating.
Grito made, like, how many songs, and he still, you feel what I'm saying, Grito?
Like, he does his thing, he makes a, you just do it.
You could tell he's just being him.
I like people to beat him.
Definitely.
All his music sound very real and truth is himself.
Yeah, if I, like, Grito, I've,
personally, like, pulled up to the studio for a couple hours and just seeing him, like,
casually make four songs, pick somebody out off the couch. I was with somebody who he didn't
even know, who was a rapper, and he just was like, hey, you want to get on this song?
Boom. You got a verse on songs. He's on Grito mixtape. It kind of blew my mind because normally,
like, I don't know anybody else who just does a song randomly with somebody that they just
see in the studio like that. But he really had this, like, childlike energy to make him
music, you know? I never met him before, but I don't know. They told me the story.
all the time. Every time I go to a studio, they tell him the story.
Yeah. Matter of fact, the studio
we go to, it's like, oh, no, it's that
Grito, did they draw Grito? No, no, Waleigh.
Oh, shit.
Walet. I'll be thinking this Grito, though.
Honestly. It's a drawing.
I don't know.
If you remove the hair and the tattoos and everything.
You got to see, if you've seen the drawing,
oh, my mom, you're going to think it was a Grito.
Right.
Shout out Wale.
That's Fax. That's facts.
Okay, so
what, uh,
What's up with the one video that you have, which I noticed was like a complete stylistic departure where you're you're sort of on the beach and you've got the mask on and you've got like a monk costume or some shit and it's much more you're talking about your life and your future and everything. What's up with that song and how would you describe what made you want to go in that different direction?
With the video or the song yourself?
I guess the song is a little different as well but yeah the video in particular I was like damn this is I never seen any like LA street rapper like take a left turn like
like this.
I just want to show that I could do whatever I want.
And I'm not held, you feel, I'm not in competition with nobody.
All I'm gonna say was the thing to do, you know what I'm saying?
So I just do whatever I want.
Around that time, I was constantly in the studio.
So all that time in the studio, I was just making, making so many different types of sounds.
And I liked, that beat was just amazing.
Shout out, Ladiano.
Adriano, I sent me the beat.
I told him to make me a dreams and nightmares kind of beat
and put his little flip on it.
Right.
Sent it and didn't have him change nothing on it.
It was amazing to me.
That's dope, yeah, because, I mean,
there's a lot of rappers who you kind of consistently see them,
maybe they get a lot of views,
but they always kind of have to rap about the same shit
over the same type of beats.
You ever feel like you're almost in a box
in the sense that people want to hear you say hard-ass street shit
over the same types of beats,
so you really wanted to just try something completely different?
That wasn't why I did it, but that's true, though.
People definitely, like, try to shove that street shit down your throat.
Like, they really, like, people have told me, like, make some shit like this.
Like, people that have never been in the streets,
but telling me to make some street shit, you know what I'm saying?
But, no, it was just, it just happened organically,
just like everything else, kind of like a Gordon Ramsey more feel,
like Gordon Ramsey freestyle type of feel.
For sure.
Have you always had this, this, this,
for high-end restaurants that seems like you like to name freestyles after?
I've always liked the cooking channel and things like that.
I've always been interested in Gordon Ramsey.
I watched all his shows, kitchen nightmares and Hell's Kitchen and all that type of stuff.
Ruth's Chris was like an accident.
I just named the Ruth's Chris because I said it was Chris in the song.
Mm-hmm.
So, but...
Was that something where, like, you are already paying attention to all these, like, restaurants and the shit or all these food cooking shows, and then all of a sudden you get money, and, like, that's one thing you actually started doing?
Like, you remember the first time you went to Roos Chris?
Um, I have not been a Roos Chris yet.
Really?
No.
Damn.
Honestly, it's dope, but also when I really think about it, is it like, you know, because you go to Roos Chris, you're going to spend, like, $500 or some shit.
Which Chris not that good, though?
Yeah, is it five times better than, like, other restaurants?
I don't know.
It's really Del Frisco.
I ain't going to lie.
What's that?
Del Frisco's.
I wouldn't have said Del Friscoes.
I wouldn't have said Del Friscoe's after all that's jumping a lot.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Lus Criscus went better, but Del Friscoe's really that spot, though.
Uh-huh.
Where's that at?
Irvine.
Okay.
And you're a lobster guy, steak guy would usually go with.
Surf, tur, whatever they got.
Serve, turf, whatever, whatever.
Yes, sir.
We want it on.
That's good living, bro.
That's a good influence too, though,
because that's one thing I always seen about Draco and Shoreline and all of them
is that they always been quick to just flex that they were eating some expensive-ass dinner.
So I'm glad to see that that's becoming more of the norm in L.A. and shit.
Got to eat good.
Got to treat yourself.
Yo, before Grito went in, me and my girl went to a Roos Chris to meet up with him and T.K.
And a bunch of Shoreline and everything to have dinner.
And he was definitely, like, late as fuck, like, hour and a half late or some shit.
I remember Rob Vicious and Cato passed out at the table just and yeah it was crazy though because he went he went into prison like two three four days later after that and it was just like you know this is a wild-ass vibe and I remember the waiter kept coming over and telling people to take their hats off and they would take it off and they would take it off like two seconds and then just put it back on and eventually they gave up on sounds that don't sound like a good time asking people to take their hats off yeah but I guess at Ruth's Christian us well really in nice restaurants in generally you're not supposed to really wear a hat but but I don't sound like a good time asking people to take their hats off yeah but I guess at Ruth's christian us well really in nice restaurants in general you're not supposed to really wear a hat but
But I mean...
We have beans, all type of stuff.
For real?
Yeah, they didn't see nothing.
Doe Friscoes.
Okay.
Well, maybe that's a better spot.
You ever been to Grindr in downtown Sanpedra?
You know what I'm talking about?
Grinders?
Yeah, I know exactly what I was talking about.
I've never been a grinder, though.
I don't think I ever been there either.
We used to always ride this rail in front, and they would kick us out, and we'd be making
jokes because Grindrinder is the gay sex dating app.
We'd be making jokes about that to the staff, and they didn't seem like they understood the joke.
I wouldn't have understood the joke neither.
That's understandable.
I got too, too, too, too, too,
any references stored up, you know?
Pause.
Okay, so the Gordon
Ramsey freestyle,
that, something about that flow.
Like, there's just, you rap in such a different way
where it's like you're not really rapping about yourself,
you're rapping about everything,
just sort of describing like your life
through like all these different references.
Like, was something different going through your head
when you did that freestyle?
Because to me, that is one of my favorite versus
Flows songs I heard in a long fucking time.
I appreciate that.
No, it wasn't no different specific, like,
mine state I was in or anything.
It was just, it was the beat.
If I get a, if I get a Ladiano, shout out Ladiano,
you'd be sending me them things.
Like, everybody's seeing me them things like Ladiano,
they're going to get, they're going to get one of the banger.
The beat just sort of, like, told you what to do with it?
The beat, like, if you just play the beat instrumental,
like, you're just going, it's a good feel.
I just did my thing on it.
I mean, like, all right, I'm just going to quote,
this part.
Sean Michaels at parties, I'm high kicking.
Monkey nuts on big choppers and side bitches.
A Gordon Ramsey entree with a side dish,
2007 in class with a side kick.
That to me just, I'm like,
yo, this is a real rapper.
Like, that's four bars in a row
that I'm probably never going to forget.
That to me was just hard as fuck.
Fala.
That shit was.
Stupid. I don't know.
You really had a sidekick?
Yeah, I had a side. My brother really had the sidekicks, though.
He really, like, he made me on a sidekick.
Obviously, he had the sidek.
You seemed a little too young for the sidekick.
I'm thinking, like, bro, I had a sidekick in 2006 or some shit.
My big brother, he had all of them.
Yeah, each psychic, he had the customizable cases
with his own pictures on the back and all type of stuff.
Shout-out sidekick.
Probably one of the greatest phones to ever be made.
For real, and it's so crazy that we've all just accepted
that our phones are way more difficult to talk.
type on now, then the side kicks was, you could really like, no.
I would be driving, not even looking at the fucking thing.
And I looked down and I just wrote five sentences perfectly.
No errors.
That has never happened to me on iPhone.
You start typing on iPhone and says all kinds of stupid shit.
Auto correct, though.
Auto correct is cool, but then also, you know, sometimes.
You got autocorrect on?
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like a lot of rappers turn autocorrect off.
How come?
Because the app, they just want the app to just, you know, how they type is.
how they type. You know you spell something wrong? That's the style. I don't spell wrong though.
Like I don't be making my own words up and shit. I respect that. That's more proper. Yeah, but
when you think about it like, bro, in the early days of rap, when I used to go buy CDs of the store
and I'd be looking at the back, that was, I'd blow my mind. They got all Zs instead of S's and
K's instead of C's and you don't fuck with it? Hell no. Putting Zs after that sound like a Xbox
gamer tag or something.
different, different age. You couldn't have an S, you had to have a Z.
No. Although in retrospect, some of the C and K stuff, I now understand that in a different way.
Oh, that's the only thing I will change when I'm typing up. Right. But that's it. Definitely.
Yeah, I don't know. How do you sort of see your career playing out from here? Like, what do you plan for your next move? You're really working on a big project or EP or something?
Yeah, I'm working on my project right now. It's RIMBLE, mixed tape, coming out, very.
very soon wait on it um that's gonna be a i think that's gonna be a powerful tape and i want to just build
from there i got so much hot shit i'm just i just gotta put it together right you got a ton of fire
that's unreleased i i'm not i wouldn't say like a ton but like i can make it yeah i could make
it on if you were going to put out a 10 song project i could do that right now how many songs you feel
you got enough right now that you'd be happy with it yeah hell yeah i got bangers like
Features? Anybody on it that we might not expect?
Shout out Lil 9. Shout out Mazzie.
Mazzis on there?
Yeah.
That's lit.
Shout out Jaco, shout out B.A.
Okay.
We got a,
P...
Me and...
That might be my favorite one.
Right.
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah.
That's exciting.
How often you make a song,
you're just like, no, that ain't it?
I'm not using that one.
All the time.
Yeah?
Yes.
All the time.
That attention to detail?
I'm very...
I pay close...
Oh, my gosh.
Like, yeah.
If I don't punch in the bar right, I'll spend 45 minutes punching the bar.
Definitely.
You smoke, drink?
I don't smoke or drink.
Really?
You never did?
Never been interested.
Nope.
What is it you think about that that just doesn't appeal to you?
My dad just always told me not to smoke or drink.
And you just took his word for it?
I know a lot of people who have been through that and they end up doing it anyway.
I just, yeah, I just took his word for I believe him.
He smoked and drank before in his life.
life and he told me that it didn't go good for him.
Mm.
So you told me to stay away from drugs.
I mean, you can save yourself a whole lot of headaches and bullshit and everything.
I mean, money?
Yeah.
I mean, really, you do hear that from, like, older gangsters sometimes that are kind of like,
what the fuck is wrong with this new generation where all these kids are fucked up all the
time?
It's like, if you're trying to be a real street dude or whatever, I mean, that's not really a safe bet
to just be running around all fucked up all the time.
you know that's how you get caught up and whatnot it's not safe not at all um okay um you got a girlfriend
no no no like the fucking grim reaper right there oh you have a wife for how long shut on my girl
how long you've been with her i'm not really married but i've been with her for like probably like a year
okay is important to you very important to me definitely how does she feel about seeing what's
happening to you in terms of the success and shit she's just very supportive
That's dope.
Aspirations, shit that you want to do while you're in this game
or just things that you want to make sure that you accomplish,
that you want to be known for.
I just want to be known for being me.
Respect.
I fuck with people that are true to themselves.
I think people need to be more true to themselves.
I'm a show that you can be true to yourself.
I saw you in one interview where you're saying that you'd like to be.
at the level that somebody like Roddy Rich is at.
When I look at Roddy Rich's career, I see him as he's super talented, obviously,
but he's going off his way to make big records.
Do you see yourself getting to that point where you will kind of get in the studio
and be trying to land on a song that could be more of a big pop-type hit?
I could do it all.
Really?
Yeah, I'm versatile.
I can adapt.
I plan to do all types of music.
Definitely.
Like what else?
Well, do you listen to any music?
we would be surprised by?
I am a very big fan of country music.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow, that's interesting.
What do you like about it?
That's something that's another thing that came from my big brother.
Like my big brother started playing country music around the house,
and at first me and my mom was like, turn this shit off.
Uh-huh.
But he didn't stop playing it, so after a while it's growing.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Is there anything, like, lyrically that resonates with you,
or is it mostly just the sound?
It's the vibe.
It's the feel.
like every country song when I listen to it's just they just live in peace it sound peaceful like
right it's a peaceful vibe it's weird because I heard some some old country songs that
I kind of enjoyed more but it's usually like the stuff from like the 70s and stuff where
they're just talking about shooting people and just being a piece of shit drinking getting
fucking you know all this kind of stuff but when I listen to country now it's like on the radio
because my girl listens to country and so shit like it sounds like a bunch of
bunch of fucking Instagram captions of just like weird little cliche it's like they're trying to
like come up with memes in the song I don't agree you know not the country music I listen to
you guys send me your playlist one oh five one not go country okay I got a I got to open my mind
more country shit you fuck a little Nas X you're trying to baby CMA acting
Free CMAX.
I don't even got to do
I don't got to do none of this shit.
I just got to do that.
Yo, that shit is a modern day
classic.
Like you don't really know about L.A.
Have you ever seen that interview?
That's one of the most important interviews.
That's a classic for sure.
Whoa.
I was just thinking about how
if we need his ass out
so we could just figure out
like I want to know what the last few months
of his life in prison have been like so bad
or jail, I guess.
I hope he's all right.
I hope he's all right, too.
I hope nobody that mean to him.
Free baby see man.
I might have to pull up to the penitentiary.
Stop fucking with my boy.
They'll be out on the yard.
I'd be like, hey, leave him alone.
No?
B.A., we need to know some more about you.
What do you want the world to know about you?
I'm coming up.
There's no that.
And he's coming strong.
Like, I'm talking about strong.
Like, first song, you already up there.
Like, nobody fucking with him neither.
For sure.
You need that.
All right.
Appreciate you guys for coming in.
I'm looking forward to more music.
You were one of the few rappers I interview
where I would actually like to hear some unreleased shit.
I would definitely play some unreleased shit.
Sometimes people are like, you want to hear some unreleased shit?
And I'm like, yeah.
And I'm kind of thinking, like, no, not really.
I'll just see it when you drop that shit.
But I would like to hear some unreleased from you.
Fuck.
That's harsh.
Now everybody's going to question it from here.
Really not when they said something?
You just got to tell them no.
Right.
I'll hear it when it comes out.
That's like, but that's like if somebody like, all right,
I don't want to know what I'm getting for my birthday
a week before my birthday.
That's what I think too.
But everybody, everybody wants the unreleased so bad.
Like, I'd be like, just wait.
Like, I'd be having to tell people just wait.
Like, you're not going to be able to feel what everybody else feel when they're drunk.
And I've been through that too where my favorite rap, like at one point, 2010, 2011, whatever,
Youngtho is my favorite rapper.
It was a little after that.
It was like 2012, 13.
But he's like my favorite rapper.
And they leaked like 100 songs all at once.
And I'm like, you know, I'm listening to it, but it's not mastered or mixed right.
And it's like I'm not hearing like the quality package that he wanted to put out.
I'm just hearing all these random songs.
Most of them probably never even came out.
And that's when I first realized.
I was like,
unrely shit,
it's a little overrated
because I would rather see
what he wanted to put out.
Exactly, and you're going to feel
what everybody else feel
when it dropped.
Like, it's going to be
a whole different
type of feeling that
whereas if you heard it already
you're going to be like,
I heard that already
and it's old to you already.
I feel it.
Rumble.
Appreciate you, man.
It's Rumble.
No Jumper.
That's besides the point.
