Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumber, coolest podcast in the world. And today I got Rising Superstar, Trapland Pat in the building. How are you feeling? Yeah, I feel it real good. Today I woke up on the right side of the bed, so I feel it good. I'm turned up. For sure. Hey, I have a question.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Where's Gus's world-famous fried chicken? Right down the street. I don't really do. I used the Google Bab City. It was right around the corner. I never heard of it. So I was actually just wondering. I'm like, is that like a fried chicken spot that I don't know about?
Starting point is 00:00:27 Did you bring the cut from Florida? I think, I don't know. Somebody told me Gus is a spot. When you get the cattle, you got to go to Gus. It got the best chicken. I haven't even heard of Gus. That's interesting. We got Dave's hot chicken is very, very popular.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I got to check that out. We got to tap you in with Dave. I like chicken. For sure. Is it fried chicken like a big thing in Florida as well? Yeah, yeah. Okay, this one I'm sure. That's a big thing.
Starting point is 00:00:48 So many of the places I've lived, like, when I live in Brooklyn, that was like, that was it. What is it? Like, pizza in Brooklyn? Yeah, but I'm saying, like, the local, like, fried chicken spot was, like, like, cracking. Every night. It was good. Never heard of chicken in Brooklyn. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:02 It was great, but it was also, like, it's just mad people there. Like, you got to be really careful going there and shit. I would hear about crazy shit happening. Over ticket. Over chicken. Well, maybe not even over chicken, but that's just where everybody ended up. So that's just where it went down at. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:01:16 You ate that for breakfast, though? Oh. Yeah, I ate it for breakfast. How much respect? It's like, I'm a Haitian, like, we usually eat, like, dinner for breakfast. Really? Yeah. I'm fucked up in the head.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I can only eat, like, eggs for breakfast. Not really offending eggs, really. Really? Yeah. I don't really like eggs like that. Yeah. I don't know why. I'm going to bring you around.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I'm going to have somebody whip you up some eggs. Handcakes probably. Pancakes are good, but I mean, if I'm getting going in the morning, bro, I need some protein. I forgot. Eggs got protein in them. Oh, it's like all protein. Everything? Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Let me ask you this. You talk about being Haitian a lot. Can you tell me about the sort of culture of being Haitian growing up in Florida and everything? thing because you hear so many rappers sort of talk about it, but I feel like a lot of the fans probably don't really know what that's all about. Haitians really struggling in South Florida, like, in school, too, like, because, you know, they're behind, they're not really on point with the English, and some teachers really, like, don't really slow down to help the kids.
Starting point is 00:02:16 They're not really, like, up to date. So, yeah, they really struggle. I know it's harder to get jobs over there. Really? You got to be able to talk. So, yeah, they go through it over there. That's interesting. Do you think that Kodak has made it a lot cooler to be Haitian
Starting point is 00:02:30 and not even just him, but there's a lot of other rappers who can't sense him? Yeah, they all play a role. All of the Haitians that came before me, they all play a role. They paved away if people could follow, and they just, like, broke barriers. But did you grow up thinking that you being Haitian was actually a bad thing, or did you just believe that other people were treating you like it was a bad thing? I always realized that other people was treating me like it was a bad thing
Starting point is 00:02:53 because I always went to Haiti with my parents. It's like I always went back to see how the culture was and how they really have like real love for you instead. So it was never like it was a problem with me. They just weren't able to see the good in me or whatever at the time. Interesting. So you were going overseas with your parents from a young age seeing that? A lot.
Starting point is 00:03:12 What was your thoughts on it? At first I didn't like going because you always got to go talk to a whole bunch of family members that I don't really like to see everything. And I understood that while I'm seeing them, like they really had love for me and like they'll do whatever for me so I realized that it was just culture and there's stuff that I have to always do it's tough for a kid to like understand the importance of family you know yeah but everybody has family so some people can't even see it that way but right all my family's over there I don't really have family in the U.S. at all really
Starting point is 00:03:46 so what were your parents doing when you were a kid growing up they were uh my dad was a banquet Captain at Donald Trump's Hotel in Palm Beach. And my mom was a licensed practical nurse, so. Okay. So what was your upbringing like? Like, you know, a lot of people, I mean, for me, I wonder about, like, what it's like to be a young kid growing up in Florida these days. Kind of crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:16 It's a whole lot of stuff going on in Florida. But where I stayed at in Florida, I stayed in Deerfield. So it was like, we're branched off. So it's not like we live the same way everybody else live. Stuff's different over there. We don't have too many clubs, too many stores. There's not too much stuff going on. So I really just focused on sports a lot.
Starting point is 00:04:36 But on my side of time, just making money, going to work, and just handling business. Right. That's really what it was. What kind of jobs do you have? And from what age? I never had a job. Oh, okay. I tried to, but they never hired me.
Starting point is 00:04:51 So what kind of? work would you be doing? Me? Yeah. All the type of stuff, but I was, I was really focused on sports. Right. So I didn't really get my hands too much in making money, but I liked money, though. Your whole time through high school and shit, you were just pretty much focused on the sports thing?
Starting point is 00:05:12 Sports. When I had free time, I was really trying to make it. Like, I was really trying to make it D-Wood, all of that. Right. Just like, that shit was just crazy. And then you went to college, where? In Indiana, it was a small school close to Indianapolis. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Very small school. I did real good. I converted the DB. In high school, I played wide receiver. Then I converted the cornerback. Okay. I had number five over there. I almost played both sides over there, man. Offense and defense.
Starting point is 00:05:41 For real. I ended up having number one. Then when I came down for spring break, I got into some trouble. Felonies. Yeah, I heard. What situation was that? What did you actually get charged with? It was like possession
Starting point is 00:05:57 with. intense. It was some shit. It was like, I think it was like six, seven, seven charges. Uh-huh. That shit was just crazy. Wrong place, wrong time. It was a whole bunch of charges like. But it was like a robbery type thing with a gun?
Starting point is 00:06:12 No, it wasn't no robbery. It was some shit where somebody had a gun on them and you got rubbed up on it? No, it wasn't like that, but when I had done got out, I went right back in. And I got out, I went right back in. It was like, remedial and then it was to the point where my people like people around me not people around me
Starting point is 00:06:33 like my mom my brother like man you might have to hang it up man she was a different route it is like shit was getting tough what so like you got arrested and then you got out and got arrested like very soon after oh a couple weeks really again it was like i started losing hope but you know i ain't showing that i'm losing hope i'm just like i got this man but yeah bro Everybody with my brother, my dad, then were telling me, man, you need to just go get a job and not hurried out. Like, damn, they're giving up on me this fast. It's over me getting locked up like three times, but I was just like. But the school wasn't fucking with you because of the.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't care. As soon as they find out you get arrested, you might not even come back. Right. For real. Like, it was like, I hung in a jersey up as soon as I boned out the first time. So did that fuck you up in terms of like, oh, I worked on this from my whole, life trying to get good at this one thing.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. That shit fucked me up. I had a tattooing all football with a heartbeat going through my arm right here. Wow. I really like football for real, but it was like, because I don't found another route, but at the time I was like, I gotta find me something to do.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Right. I don't know what I'm gonna be. Rapper or plug, whatever. I don't know, I gotta get paid for real money. The plug option was right in front of your face. Like, it seemed like a very real option Yeah, because I can't, I tried to work for somebody, but I never got hired. So in my head, I was like, man, see, I can't even get a job.
Starting point is 00:08:05 So I'll never work for nobody. Right. So that's what I put in my head out. I had people working for me. Definitely. So, okay, had you already been recording, like even when you were in college and all that stuff? Yeah, I was already making music at like 11th grade. I was already making music.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Mm-hmm. But when I seen that situation happen, I really took it more. I went more full throttle into the music. Yeah. Did you have anybody around you that was like an influence in terms of the music that was putting you on game or telling you how to record and all that kind of stuff? How to me? I wouldn't say that.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I learned everything by myself, though. I kept going to the studio. I treated the studio like it was practice. I was going to the studio a lot. I always book sessions any time a day by myself. It don't matter. It don't got to be nobody with me. I'll just go.
Starting point is 00:08:59 But it's an engineer that always recorded me that always used to like, always tell me like certain things. He used to give me pointers and stuff. Right. Because I guess he used to rap too. Nobody ever uses the word practice to describe recording. But I mean, that's really what it is because, you know, if you're expecting like your first five songs to be the song that's going to blow you up,
Starting point is 00:09:19 it's pretty unlikely. Like, you got to just really put the time in doing. it over and over and over will make you so much better at music so much better definitely so this engineer was like giving you a lot of advice or helping you get what kind of stuff was he advising you on still around now I'm like punching in stuff like dubbing ad libs and stuff I used to struggle with adelaus like I couldn't do it I don't know I used to just have brain freeze when it's time of adela and I just forget about I don't do ad libs when you see people doing funny ass ad lives is the best.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I couldn't do it. Right. But okay, so that sort of like got you going in the right direction, then when did you start to actually see some success from it? When I started having fun with it, I think I was being like, I used to try to make too much sense.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Nowadays in music, like, you don't really gotta do that. You just gotta make sure you're riding the beat. relaying the message, you don't got to make it too complex, like keep it basic. Once I started thinking like that, I was too narrow, narrow-minded, I guess. When I started thinking like that, I was able to write music more faster with ease. I used to spend too long writing songs now I'll just get them out the way faster. Like 30 minutes, 20 minutes. But do you ever revisit them and like work on the lyrics or anything like that?
Starting point is 00:10:46 By the time I'm done writing them, I already know the songs. the songs by head, like I'll memorize the whole song already. Like, every song ever recorded, I know them by head. You do? Every song, I don't know that. I don't know. I just, that's how my brain work. I just remember. You got to, you got to wonder when that's going to, like, when you'll make enough songs that that'll start to, like, wear away. Because, like, you know, I've done enough interviews at this point that sometimes I'll be, like, looking at somebody and, and thinking, like, did I interview them? Like, I honestly can't remember, like, because it's like, you know, it'll be a couple years and I won't really like think about it that much afterwards and it kind of disappears from my
Starting point is 00:11:23 brain yeah that's crazy okay i got to record more than that's okay uh yeah if you record more you probably have a harder time remember in the shit but um okay so had you been focused on like putting out videos and everything like that from the beginning yeah but like i was doing everything by myself so like gotta make sure i got money to get the song recorded miss and master then get the cameraman by that outfit get the rental car for the video I was I was doing it a little straight I was able to do all of that by myself yeah I think I put out like 15 videos before I became part of being but I was in like a two-year span right so how'd Frater find out about you I've been met him at a he was at a video shoot I still got that photo on my page it's like two
Starting point is 00:12:14 years ago what video or what artists oh no wait it was a wait it was a It was a feature. He was doing a feature. With like a local rapper? With a local rapper. Okay. Yeah, he was doing the future with a local rapper. Yeah, and I was just there, and I just took a picture. A little picture. I talked to him.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And then somebody from his team reached out to me in November. And ever since then, man, we clicked up and we just, we're making a noise. Right. Like, for real, real noise. Once he got involved, though, did the shit start to take off more? Yeah, it did. He started. He bring a nice cameraman to me.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Jolo. Shot by Jolo. Fire. Really? Never even heard of him before he brought him to me. I've been shooting with him. I've just been going crazy. That man is just fire.
Starting point is 00:13:06 My lyrics and the way he uses his transitions and effects in the video. It's perfect. What made you want to sign to Frato, though? What did you feel like he was bringing to the table that would actually make your career start moving faster? I mean, I mean. I always got a good feeling for him. And one of my homeboy, Matt Mizzle, he always was a fan of him. He used to tell me, man, you see that man, bro, you could take notes for him.
Starting point is 00:13:32 You don't see how humble he is. People be talking down and he still don't even bother him. He still gets stuff done and all this stuff. Still drop hits. Yeah, I'm a huge Frato fan for the record. And I like his personality a lot. Like, he seems like the kind of person I could actually hang out with. like long term, which is a lot of rappers I really like that I really could not say that about.
Starting point is 00:13:55 But he's like sober, mature, you know? His demeanor. Yeah. How come you guys haven't put out of a video yet? You just waiting for the right one? Yeah. I guess he don't know, man. It's not to be a crazy summer.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Just music or have you guys already like shot videos together and shit? All the type of stuff. Did he ever have a conversation with you like that? But like, because, you know, it's super normal for a rapper to sign another rapper, and then they just start dropping mad songs together. Did he ever have a conversation? Like, we're going to get you popping on your own, and then we can put out some music together because I feel like maybe he wanted you to sort of stand on your own.
Starting point is 00:14:40 That's what I wanted to do anyway. Okay. I didn't want to just get on and, oh, let's do this song, let's do that. No, I wanted to set my own foundation down, get my views up, get my subscribers up. And then when we merge, it's something bigger. and if we merged earlier. Definitely. So either way, we probably was already on the same page,
Starting point is 00:15:00 but I wasn't looking to just do a whole bunch of songs without me putting any work first. Right. Has he, have you actually, like, recorded in the studio with him? Not yet. Not yet. That'd be interesting, see what that chemistry like. Yeah, it's going to be crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:17 For sure. Do you feel like when you, I'm afraid that there's, like, certain people that you're, like, not allowed to associate with after that in terms of B for people not getting along? Shit. Well, yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:29 I'm for a exor 41, though. Huh? Oh, you're talking about, what you're talking about? Oh, I didn't even, I swear, I just blinked out. I thought you asked me where I'm from. Oh, no, I was just,
Starting point is 00:15:42 I was asking if, uh, with Fredo, like, is it, like, an understanding that you, like, there's a bunch of people that you can't be around because you're with him and he's got issues with certain people?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Oh, yeah, I'm with, Bidz. Right. Yeah, I'm with Bain Bizz. I fuck with Bain Bizz. Right. Yeah, I'll fuck with Bain Bid. For sure. Okay, so who were you listening to that sort of like got you into making music in the first place, whether it's like big artists or local artists? I was listening to a lot of people, bro, a wide variety of people. Polo G, Roddy, Future, Duh.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Lud, Foo, Chief Keefe, Kodak, a lot of people. Like, when you around me, like, if you around me, you're going to hear a whole bunch of people. You're not just going to hear one artist. He'll be like, damn, how much different artists you listen to? I don't never, like, let my music stay on one type of vibe, I guess. I like a whole different type of vibe. So I listen to a whole lot of people, live, BG, Soldier Slim, Ice Cube.
Starting point is 00:16:53 EasyE. How old he? Fabulous. Fabulous. 22. 42. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:59 How'd you get into a more old school shit? You knew your homework and dig in? I got an older brother. He loves music. He's a Wayne fan. Wayne fan. There was like a whole generation there where every young rapper was like just a huge soldier of Lowell Wayne. And as I get older, that becomes less and less of a thing.
Starting point is 00:17:18 And Wayne becomes more of like an old school rapper that the new generation is not as tapped in with. Hell yeah. That's fucked up. Okay. My brother than me, sir, I knew all about that shit. Drake, too, my bad. I forgot to say Drake. I fucked with Drake.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Got to shout out, Drake. He'd be mad as hell if he wasn't brought up in this interview. Man, I fought with Drake. He's at home. He's a Scorpio just like me too. Oh, really? You're into that stuff? I wouldn't say into it, but I guess they just,
Starting point is 00:17:47 they use broad things to make people agree on certain shit. Right. Yeah. Interesting. always ask me like what sign are you and then I said Sagittarius and they're like of course I'm like what the fuck does that shit mean you're sads yeah I thought with Sadism thank you we all appreciate it um okay one thing I noticed no guns in the videos for the most part every fucking kid is putting hell of guns in the videos these days what made you not getting in
Starting point is 00:18:20 on that. I can't imagine having to get picked up with some shit that happened in my video. I'm like, damn. As long as they come and get you, I mean, you already got what they need. I mean, there's somebody I can think of, a very famous rapper who right now is looking like he's about to do 10 years because they took the fucking music director guy's memory card and he had fucking pictures of him with all these blickies and he is on fucking probation and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:18:48 It's like, damn, like that shit really. fucks me up to see because it's like it's one thing if you get pulled over and they find the stick whatever it's another thing if fucking you did it to yourself you know put it on tape yeah but did you ever you never did it you never did video guns i did it you did it before i didn't i didn't know nobody gave you like a reality check is it because of the felony shit somebody was been telling me what i was doing it and it was like i was like younger and kind of like fried like i didn't care what nobody said Talk a lot, but I do what I want.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Yeah. But not as I look at it is, like, tripping. You can't really be living like that. But then people get to a certain point, and they start doing all the fake guns in the videos, which is pretty funny. Yeah, I'll probably get Nerf guns and shit, water guns. That's the good idea.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's the whole is it. Just represent it. Yeah. I feel it. I notice you are smoking a backwood. Is this a daily occurrence for you? Yeah, I fought with batwood. Yeah, I fought with batwood.
Starting point is 00:19:50 You don't do anything else? because you were asking me when you came in you're like you only smoke raws we fuck with the raws but we smoke a lot of woods too woods gravel y'all don't get grabb out here do you I don't know if you can buy it out here but I see people having it a lot
Starting point is 00:20:05 but I'm not sure if they have to like get it from other places I spoke this or gravel that's the only thing you'll probably say I probably smoke raw but I wouldn't be the one to roll raw I don't even know how to rule raws I never really roll rubs my fingers are too big
Starting point is 00:20:19 I'm terrible at fucking rolling joints. Or I just don't like the way that I do it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was focused since my 6th grade, man. Really? You think it's fucked you up? No. It gave me a different view of life.
Starting point is 00:20:35 A little bit more laid back. Yeah, coming to school high is fucking middle school. Nobody knows what's going on. There's a lot of things that are a lot better in life when you're high. Hell yeah. Now that I got a kid, playing with the kid when you're fucking high as hell is it's the best. everything's more funnier, though. Yeah, it's easier to, like, slow down and get in the moment and just enjoy yourself, you know?
Starting point is 00:20:58 It is. Definitely. There you go, blah. I noticed that you recently did a whole video in the snow, which I thought was pretty funny, because I know that you growing up in Florida, you never seen snow. Yeah. Was that your first time around it? No, when I was in Indiana, I seen it.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Oh, okay. But, yeah, that was my first time playing in it, because around that time I ain't liked the cool, but I wanted to shoot it there. We was in Nashville. Uh-huh. What are you doing out there? Just swing it through. I just finished shooting a video with Orlando with Cutter Reese.
Starting point is 00:21:30 We were like, man, let's go shoot a video in Nashville. Everybody was down and we were like, all right, let's just go straight to Nashville. Right. We just shot. Definitely. What's going on with all the beef in Florida, man? It's fucking crazy right now. The whole world's paying attention.
Starting point is 00:21:48 What do you think of it? Oh, dude. Oh, no, where I'm from, this stuff going on, no, but like, I'll probably just say, like, generation shifting, man. Like, shit's just getting more out of hand. Nobody really cares anymore. People careless now, everybody on drugs. It's really everybody on drugs, too, that nobody got tolerance anymore, so nobody's not trying
Starting point is 00:22:16 to tolerate anything. Right. I mean, this is a lot of people who feel like their come up is going to be doing a song where they shit on somebody's dead homies. That's like the new wave. That's shit crazy. You don't get into all that? No, I don't really get into that. I don't want to track that type of energy, though.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Right. When you rap about it, like, that's the type of stuff that's going to be coming away, though. But, like, I just be trying to stay on a positive scale. I don't really try to get too negative, though, unless. I really got to. Right. But does it ever feel like people are paying attention
Starting point is 00:22:54 to the dude who's doing the most fuck shit and like getting into the most shenanigans? Oh yeah, you can get attention like that. Right. It works. Yeah. Yeah, it works. That's just not the route I would have to take.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Right. I'm thinking longevity. I would have lost love. I want people to remember me about my music and not by how I was dissing. No. Definitely. Do you feel like the videos, like I feel like you first went viral, at least in part because the thumbnail had you doing the crazy-ass eye thing.
Starting point is 00:23:31 True or false? Hell yeah, that thumbnail was crazy. My manager, Diana, like, she picked the thumbnail. I ain't know nothing about thumbnails. That's a big deal. Man, this thumbnail for the video about to be crazy. I'm like, what's the thumbnail? I just load up this video and just post it.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I never really picked the thumbnail. She showed me that shit. Like, damn, that shit looked crazy. Right. You see the veins coming out of my neck and this is it? If you don't know who you are and you see that thumbnail, you could definitely be like, I got to, I got to know what this guy's on. It looks like you just fucking took some meth to the face or something, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Hey, like that boy booed it. It's very, like, it looks like a movie poster or something. Like you're the serial killer from the movie or something, I don't know. That's shit epic right now. But are you scared? You can't, like, rely on the eye thing for every thumbnail now? You can't. It's going to be too predictable.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Too obvious. I hate being predictable. Can you do it for us right now, though? Yeah. We need that for the thumbnail for sure. Okay, so how does your life change since you dropped that big business video? That's where it took off, right? They're doing good, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:49 I'm still working though. I don't look at it as it as a stepping stone. Okay, we're going up the ladder now. We still gotta climb some more. We won't wanna get too complacent. Stay stuck in one spot. So what's the next move? What's the next move?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Never thinking on, oh, that was a, okay, you could dwell on the past, but not too much though. Right. That's how I see. For sure. How do you feel about TikTok? Are you on there? Are your songs popping off on there?
Starting point is 00:25:17 I'm really, I really used to do Trillet, so I'm not really too in tune with TikTok, but I'm from to start getting more active on it. You're really in the streets if you're on Triller instead of TikTok. I respect that. Yeah, but I'm fun to get into TikTok for sure, though, but I see it's nice, though. I like how people could be able to, like, market their music through other people doing videos. Right. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I noticed you just did a song, Spot him, Got him, and he basically, like, exploded. off of TikTok so that was just like massively helpful in terms of his career that's just going crazy going global that shit right there right everybody's going not it's only a matter of time but does it ever cross your mind when you're making music like is this shit going to blow on TikTok or not oh yeah I didn't used to think like that but I used to hear people saying you gotta think you got to think about making the TikTok so on Jolo Jolo is telling me that's it man you gotta make shit for TikTok, man.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Like, damn, you right, that catchy shit. Yeah. It's like you gotta have something weird about the beat. Some sort of like lighthearted type thing to the beat. Some lighthearted. Something that's just catchy shit you want to hear back to bed like,
Starting point is 00:26:34 damn. This shit is just stuck in your head. I want to ask you this is how much impact did X have on the community? because you are from Broward County and stuff. And I know that from my perspective,
Starting point is 00:26:50 I've always been like, bro, there's like two gods of rap music in Florida. Kodak and X for that era, you know? And I was felt like kind of weird. Like they don't really overlap that much, you know? Like they see each other, but it's like two kind of separate worlds in Florida. True or false and just speak on, did X have an impact on you at all?
Starting point is 00:27:10 On me, not really. But that's because I didn't know him like that. but I had friends that knew him. He had diehard fans in Bryant County. Die hard fans. Like, people really looked up to him and he motivated them. And for real, those people that was depressed and it was like, man, X, X fixed me, man. I used to hear that.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I remember going out there at first funeral and it really felt like there was like a dark cloud over the whole city. Like, everybody was feeling it even if they didn't know him. Fucking normalized cab drivers were, like, asking me about it than shit. That was a very strange time. I go ahead, die hard fans. Mm. They still streaming. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Nonstop. So, okay, from your perspective, what do you have to do to make your career reach the next level? Like, what are you focused on right now? Because I got to just be more consistent. I wasn't too consistent back there as I go back and listen to my old music. It was all right. The delivery was good. But I don't need it to be good.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I needed to be great. You deliver here, perversion, everything has to be in tune. As I make more music, I'm getting better. I'm here in progress. I record a lot, man. I go to the studio every day. That's cool you have that attitude, because a lot of people, their attitude is basically,
Starting point is 00:28:31 like, I've been making music for six months, and my music is the best and whatever. Yeah, I look at it like that, I'm pretty humble when you're kind of music. You know what's cool about your existence is that, like, I have a friend named Pat and just started calling him Trapland Pat. And it's kind of funny because he's like a little white kid.
Starting point is 00:28:52 He's like obviously not from the trap or anything, but it's a good nickname. I don't know how long we're going to stick with it, but. Yeah, chat land. You go calling Chatland every time you see him. I kind of like it. You remember Pat from Saturday Night Live? I'm probably about 20 years too young for this. Young probably too young.
Starting point is 00:29:11 It actually sounds really controversial when I think about explaining it at this point in my life too. Yeah, maybe we'll just leave that one. What you're that one? You got to watch that movie for me and check back in. All right. Pat. It's basically about a person that they can't tell if it's a guy or a girl. And she's really, he or she is really funny, the whole movie.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Not that this relates to you at all. I'm quite sure you're a man. What's the name of? Pat. Oh, okay. I'm like, that's your cop, man. We're sure. I got you.
Starting point is 00:29:44 There's a lot of young Jits watching this right now who are like, What the fuck is Pat? Okay. I appreciate you coming on, man. Anything else we need to talk about? Anything we should address? Well, I said, I already said something about it when I just came in, but, man, my mits hit just dropped through the door going crazy right now.
