Coolest podcast on the world today. I'm in here with Young Yen Yase. How you doing, bro? What are there? You know, I'm feeling good right now. You're feeling good. You showed up rocking a couple of chains as a shirt, which is a good look. That's a very rapper thing to do.

Nah, nah. Yeah, I don't know me. I'm just thinking. I came here thinking. Yeah. I came in here being me. Let them know. I just want to start with the name.

How'd the name come together? Young and Ace. Yeah. Because you got a very unique spell in there. Oh yeah, definitely. Now, I always been the youngest when I used to run with my bit brothers. Oh, okay. No understand.

So I always like, my uncle named me Ace. Uh-huh. Because, like, you know, Ace be like lawyer. Like, my homeboy, he's lawyer. That's my Ace boom cool. That's your homie that you can count on. Exactly. So I always been like that.

But my uncle, you ever seen paid him for? Uh-huh. My uncle used to tell him I was going to be like Ace. Oh, okay. No, different he was. There you go. But, like, I used to be in this little music group. called Young Gang, the way they spelled it.

When you're young? Yeah. Like, how old were you? I forgot how old I was and I got in with it. But it was like a little kids group type thing? They were older than me. I was young. Oh, okay.

But their name used to spell it like YUNG. Oh, okay. But I just stuck with it. So that was, what age did you move to Jacksonville from Chicago? Like super young, right? Yeah, I was like two, three years old. Oh, okay. So you don't even remember it or nothing.

I don't, I don't been in Chicago. It ain't really like Chicago, Illinois. It's just like, a random-ass part of Chicago. No, it's called, East Chicago. Indiana. You know, Indiana? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's right there, like East Chicago. What were your parents doing? They were moving around. Do you know what they were into? My mom in there. Okay. My, uh, my mom and all, though. My dad are there from there, too. And why they really locate the Florida?

My uncle, my uncle wanted to move to Florida. I don't remember. I was young, so I'm glad we were there. You did? So you have positive feelings about Florida? Some people tend to, like, hate on it if they grew up there and shit. I don't know. If they hate, then they're whack them. They're not appreciating it. I love it, but it's just, I just, I just, it's just, it's just, it's. That's all I know. So it's like, it's just home. But I, even though I know it's fucked up, but I just know it's home. It's crazy because, like, fucking Atlanta, there's a million dope rappers from Atlanta. There's a million dope rappers from Louisiana or whatever.

But like, Florida, man, Florida produces a very different type of human being. Exactly. We're different, one of the kind. We cut different, we cut from a different cloth. It's true. It's just different shit in the air. It's that hot-ass air. It's definitely hot out of the, you know when it's hot, it makes people mad.

Angry as fuck. That's how it happened. But I mean, when you think about Florida, it just feels like there's just not a lot of opportunity. Like, when you're a young kid, it don't feel like there's a lot of jobs or like there's a lot of shit going on and stuff. It's just flat, barren, swamps, hot as fuck.

Definitely. You describe that like desperation very well in your music. Exactly. It's definitely no opportunity. You gotta really make your own, you gotta make your own way. You gotta make your own way. You gotta be different.

You gotta, you know what I'm saying? But Florida got a lot of talent though. They got so much talent out there. There's a lot of people who are struggling. Exactly. It kind of ends up turning itself into like really heartfelt music, I think. Exactly. Definitely.

So what was your childhood like you talk about it, recall, like you didn't really have a lot of fun. It wasn't really as... Yeah, I couldn't really have no fun. Why was that? We should struggle too much you even have, like fun to us was like, you know, hot shit. You know what I'm saying? Fun with us is like...

Hanging on the block, stupid shit going on? Yeah, just doing a little dumb shit. that was fun of us getting on the nigga ass so that's fun of us when we was younger right feel what I'm saying but like we we used to struggle so much so we couldn't like go out go out to like thing parts and like I ain't really do no part I don't do parties because I I'm high-headed feel what I'm saying so so you get you get mad as fuck and you just flip out on one of the guys who are in charge of the line or whatever no not like that up his ass not like that I was saying I get like if I feel I type of way I just get to act and crazy

I feel a vibe of tense, so I just feel like crazy. Well, it's interesting because I'm watching you on vacation with your girl in Puerto Rico. Oh, yeah. And I'm seeing a different side of you, but I did kind of get that vibe that it's, and I'm the same exact way, where it's kind of hard for you to like, when you're just used to grind in all the time and you're always just with your homies and you always, like, on a different level, and then all of a sudden you're with your girl and you're out a nice hotel and there's a beach and shit, and it's kind of a weird feeling.

Exactly. Because I don't really do that. So that's new to me. Like, she, she, she, she's my girlfriend. She likes stuff like that. Yeah. You gotta give them your time from time to time like that to just show them that you actually really give a fuck about me. Yeah. Because that time mean everything, the attention mean everything. No matter how much money somebody got or how much jewelry or all that extra shit they got.

But if you ain't got the right intentions, you're going to go get it from somebody else. And you might like recording and doing shows and shit. But at the end of the day, if you never take a break to sort of step back and be able to appreciate the money that you made and the life that you earn for yourself. Because a lot of these things, like even just being in Puerto Rico, you never probably even thought that you would be getting on an airplane and going to travel somewhere when you were young, right? Exactly. Exactly. I don't know. I couldn't really see the brighter side until I had to like go deeper in my mind and see that it could be like somewhere. When did you even start to envision that you could have a life that would go outside of your neighborhood or be able to start chasing after this rapper dream? I started seeing it when like, when I got the feeling myself, when I got the knowing like, oh, I'm like that.

Or like, oh, damn, that nigga made that much money, I can do the same thing. I always been a hustler. You know what I'm saying? So it's like I just, I just, I just, I just knew, I just knew I had to do it because it went the other way or at least I'm a struggle my whole life. Right.

Because I ain't, I ain't too much things I can do. Really? Is that because you just, kind of have the personality where you're just, you're on your own page, you're on your own wave, like, you probably have a hard time going to get a job or something, right? Yeah, like, it's like, I could say, okay, when I say it's too hard for me to do, I mean, as in saying, like, it won't satisfy me. Me doing this right here, it probably won't satisfy me.

Like, rapping, I know I can make a lot of money out of it, right? But just rapping the whole time, might not just satisfy me. I'm like, well, I got to do this, real estate, got to do this right here, all this, it's the movie, actors. You know what I'm saying? All that to make more money so I can be satisfied. So I can take care of who I need to take care of. But that's interesting because you seem like you come from an environment where nobody was really telling you,

yo, you could be this, you could do this with your life, you could do that. Yeah, I ain't had it. But then you seem like you've actually managed to get into the point where you see all kinds of possibilities. Like, yeah, you're doing the rap thing, but you're also thinking about movies and all this. Like what made your mind open up to those possibilities? When I had the, when I realized life was, I seen it firsthand. Like, I seen it happen to myself. Like, I ain't gonna lie, like, ain't a lot of people around me been successful.

Like, I don't know nobody around me successful that I haven't grew up with or I ever watched. And that's how most people are. You know, there's a lot of rappers out there, ballplayers, et cetera, but the average person out there watching this does not know one from their hometown. There is nobody who made something out of themselves, period. Exactly. So you just started to, like, realize that, that possibility.

Did you feel like you had musical talent before you really like started to think about like, man, I wanna have that lifestyle. I wanna be in that position. I always knew I wanted to be a stotto. So I just knew it was something, but when I used to do music when I was little, see, I used to like listen to Michael Jackson and shit.

Michael Jackson, all right, though. Actually from Gary in there, I know that's right around the corner from East Chicago. Gary is a crazy-ass place, man. Exactly. So I used to just like watch him do it when he was younger, like, just watch him like grow and all that. You know, I was young, so it's like...

Super young to be. I appreciate Michael Jackson. Exactly. So I used to have to go all the way back to him. He was already older, so I used to have to go all the way back to when he was younger. I just watched him. I ain't even watched the new him. I was watching the old him.

While everybody was watching the new him, I was watching the old one. You know what I'm saying? So I just seen that he did it and like, just all that type of shit just made me just like, I could do music. I could, I used to sing along with him. And I just like, I got the vent to my, I got, like, I don't really speak to people. Like I can't really like come to you with my problems. I'm honored that I've earned the respect to be able to have that conversation because you don't really have that many interviews on YouTube.

You got a little five minute things. Yeah, exactly. Nothing super in depth. I don't really like speak to people because I just know how like they could flip it on me or like, just use it against me. Right. So I just use music, the event, to let out everything, my problems and everything. Right.

I just tend to, I keep it real though, everything I say in my songs I mean it. Were we ever drawn to any other types of expression like painting and drawing art and Anything like that or was it always primarily like music seemed like the way you were going to get your shit out? It was just always music. I don't know how to draw. I ain't got no steady hand for that. I don't know how to draw. I'm not a paint.

I can paint pictures in my music, though. When did you start to draw the connection between like you're appreciating Michael Jackson and shit? And then you start to realize at some point like, oh shit, there's rappers out here who are really talking about my life, like the type of life that I'm really living. Like La Boussin. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Bucci talked that shit when I was younger. Right. Like, Luane used to talk like that, too, though. You know what I'm saying? Abusi used to talk that shit. Yeah.

And Gates. Gates. He doesn't get mentioned enough, but yeah, he's a big inspiration on the new generation for sure. Exactly. Yeah. That's dope. So how did you actually start making music? Did you know anybody who had access to a studio or anything like that?

I used to record off my phone. Oh, yeah. That's the new way. I used to put it on SoundCloud, and I used to, I used to had a beat on one. phone and then I used my mama phone to record and I used to write on a piece of paper and I used to just be in there like this ain't no editing and then I just on that raw blue row you know what I said but I used to get like like 2,000 3,000 views just off doing that so I was like man I just you know back then when I was younger I was like 2 3,000 that's

cool it's cool for me more than people would go to my school exactly so then when I got in the little music group they had they had a studio in their house so I start recording in the house I I probably record like two songs with them. And like, and then I used to record somewhere else. But then he stopped and let me come to his thing because he felt like I was gonna outshine him. So then, that was somebody off on the west side though. But then like the other boys I used to run with,

they took me to a real studio. And ever since then, I just took out, like I just fell in love with it. The process of making music, the process of making, like how I feel and explaining it more and how I sound with it. And like, I used to take a home to my brothers. I just let my brother listen to her.

And they used to like, yeah. But they were encouraging you, like, they saw that you were better than the average person that was out? Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. My brothers, they always, like, was always behind me. But, like, I mean, you know, people gonna tell you like, oh, such and such when you're younger, but like, when they really realized that I can be a big star,

that's when like, they just got to like, okay, come on, you need to go to studio. You know what I'm saying? just stuff like that. So is that helpful that they started to like encourage you and take a real interest in your career and shit? Or was it, did it matter at that point? Or were you so motivated you were going to get it regardless?

I'm going to be honest. In a type of support always helped. But when I was younger, like, I didn't care if you believe in me or not. I was going to prove your wrong regardless. Were you getting in a lot of trouble in school and like all that shit? Were you getting arrested at a young age, anything like that? I'm going to be honest.

See, like in school, I don't know. I ain't really giving them a hard time. But I used to be bad, but they probably never catch me. I always wanted to be that kind of kid. Yeah, I probably never be caught. I was bad and I got caught. You know how I probably would start something with you. I'd probably be messing with you, like throwing paper at you or something.

Something I throw your desk or something. I might sit down. You probably do it. You'll probably get caught. Right. And you probably get suspended on me. That's always how I felt. Or like whenever I would like do any kind of little criminal shit when I was like a little kid

that my fucking partner would always snitch on me or something. I never really had, like the homies that were gonna have my back like I wanted. And I was always just like, man, I gotta, that's why I gotta join a gang or something. You guys stick around me, they'd be snitching. Them gangs be snitching too, though. Yeah, that six nine shit made me realize that. Like, oh fuck, how could anybody feel comfortable doing some street shit when you got the fucking driver is a fucking informant? That's shit crazy.

That's how life is. But I used to be like in and out of DDC though when I was younger, like little juvenile. But like not nothing like Sears until I got like the county. Then I went, then I started doing like some some little time accounting and stuff. Then I got to realize how how real life feels like like, like, okay, as in like, oh, I can be here for the rest of my life type of shit. Right. I'm seeing a nigga's going up for 40, go to try, lose, 45 years. He got life.

How old were you when you first got sent in there and how long was it for a couple months or something? I probably like 18, 18, 19. And I probably went enough for like almost year. almost ill for what some some some some some some extra shit some some measure shit my brother fighting in that case so I ain't gonna speak on it oh okay so you're just involved some some stupid shit yeah I got my um I wasn't involved in some I wouldn't even involved I ain't gonna say that but they they placed me though okay that's what they tried to say somebody was telling on me what I was trying to tell them and so you're in

there for a year and then you come out and does anything change in your life at that Yeah, yeah, I signed the deal right soon I got out. As soon as you got out, so you already had the labels talking to your shit? Yeah, I, my, I had shot, before I went and I had shot my first video called Go to War. Oh, okay. But I was in there with a lot of my old homeboys. Ah. A lot of my old home boys.

And so how are they feeling about the fact that you're actually trying to do the rapping thing? See, look, they rap too, though. But they probably ain't going to go nowhere with it, right? I don't know what they're doing. I ain't gonna lie, I don't be watching nobody. Okay. But listen. If they had millions of plays, you probably know.

you probably know. I probably would. I probably would. Yeah. I'm sure they know that you got millions of players. A lot of the niggas be trying to diss me, though. A lot of the niggas but I don't give a fuck because I'm getting money.

See, that's the weird part. You start blowing up, and then all of a sudden you got a bunch of nobody-ass. Motherfuckers want to talk about you. It'd be so many people dissing me and I've never even seen them before in my life. Right. And they act like they know you.

They act like they didn't know me or they bitched me before. Ain't nobody ever bitched me before. Right. Nobody ain't never even played with me like that. And that's the crazy shit. Somebody could be like walking. You could have been at a party one time and somebody tried to get your attention

and you just didn't say what up to him or whatever and then they'll be on Instagram like six months later. I remember he tried to dub me at a party. Feel what I'm saying? Just whole shit. Like, nigga get out to go out to a badder then. Because you didn't even notice this dude standing there. But a lot of times, you know,

you walk into a room and there's a famous rapper in that room. It's like everybody in that room is thinking about that rapper. And everything that happens in that room kind of relates back to that rapper. You know? And that's just scary. Like if you're in a room

and fucking Jay Z walks into that room. There ain't nothing else going on in the room. Exactly. You know? The eyes going to be on him. Exactly. Did you, so the shooting accident, does that happen soon after you get out from doing that bit? Yeah, like six months later.

When I went, I had got shot and my brothers died. Yeah, man, you lost three of your brothers? Three of my brothers. One of them is my blood, brother, two. How long ago was this? How long ago was this? This was last, yo. Jesus Christ.

June 5th. And you're just leaving the steakhouse. The steakhouse. Is that where you were? You were at some restaurant? Oh, um, wasabi. Right. I don't like wasabi though.

It was nasty. The actual wasabi, yeah, that's disgusting. The food nasty. I like, I like chicken sandwiches and fried chicken. Respect, me too. And macaroni and cheese. So you're just out there getting some food? Mm-hmm.

No, it's my little brother birthday. Oh, okay. And we're out that's celebrating though. And are you, like, you're eating and shit, are you even thinking about yourself as being in the kind of situation where you have to worry about people trying to ride on you? I always got to worry about it, but I ain't gonna lie.

I don't never, see, we don't never go out to eat because we don't do nothing fun. Right, yeah. So that was like our first time going out like that. And I ain't gonna lie, we were slipping. Just being too low-key? Just being, just moving sloppy. We don't even move like that.

Just nothing on you? We don't even move like that. And so you're just walking out and do you think that they were watching you the whole time you were in there? Had to be. Okay. Can't nobody just go, just creep up on me like that.

Yeah. They have to be sitting outside. It don't matter, though, because I don't know that. And so this happened in the parking lot, or did they follow you? They follow me at a red light. Oh, shit. People like the blind side of me. And you were driving, or you were just in the car?

No, I wasn't driving. I was in the passive side. They pulled up on my side. And they just shot it up, and then they took off, so they were out of there, like, as soon as it happened? When they shouted up, I was trying to shit my little brother. Wow. And then I was pushing us. out the car on the other side and uh by time i got up i they was they were squirting away

holy fuck and so did they do they pass away like immediately on the scene or did any of them have to fight in the hospital uh my my bloodlet brother died on the scene my little brother named two times that's my closest brother he died right there on the scene and you got shot you got shot you got shot eight times on this and somehow you're the only one who survived you know they used to blame me they used to say i did it what set it up or something yeah If you set it up and you still got shot eight times, then you probably didn't do a very good job setting it up. Exactly.

Yeah. I wouldn't do none to jeopardize my brother's life. What the fuck? These are close people that was to me in my life. That you know since you were a little kid. So I was way younger. My little brother, my blood, my brother, my blood, my brother, we should share everything together.

We used to eat together, shower together. Jesus. Cry together. What's going through your head when you're there at the scene, waiting for the cops to come or the ambulance or whatever? I ain't going to like. See, I had called my girlfriend because she was down the street. Okay.

So I called him and she was there, but all I could think about was dim. I won't really worry about me. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't even like know I was shot that many time. I just knew I was shot. Were the bullets in you like not as critical? Like you weren't bleeding out all crazy? No, I was bleeding bad, but.

I mean, you get shot eight times. It can't be anything too chill, yeah. Yeah, I was bleeding bad, but I wouldn't worry about me out. I was trying to, my little brother, Royale, 23, he was laying on the floor. but I could never reach him. He was stuck. I couldn't never reach him, but he was calling out for my name,

but I couldn't save him. Holy shit. So then the cops, the ambulance comes, they bring you all to the hospital and stuff. Did it seem like you were stable, like from the beginning, or was your life at risk as well?

I don't know. It's all blur? I don't remember. I just was like, I didn't blank out either. I was up the whole time. I don't remember. I don't know.

I mean, I got shot eight times, so I mean, it was at risk, but getting shot at one time is at risk because you can get shot in your head and die. Yeah. But I didn't know, I never know why I was shot at until, I didn't know I was taking that month of time until the doctor was calling it out while they was trying to fix me. Right. So they're working on you, and then meanwhile, you're not even sure about exactly what's going on with your brothers?

The doctor told him I was from the die. He told you it was over. Yeah. Holy shit. But my brother, my brother, foe, was. Next door to me, they brought him back to life full times. He died the fourth time. Holy fuck.

And so while this is happening, you must have been so devastated by the idea of your brother's getting shot. Did you even, did you have that courage where you wanted to fight to stay alive? Or was there a part of you that was like, this situation's so fucked up, I don't even care. Okay, look, okay, I remember this.

When I got shot, when I was on the ground, when my girlfriend was died, I told I was going to die. So when I got in a, I was trying to, I ain't gonna lie. I went trying to fight it out because I ain't I ain't and when he told me they were dead I just felt like I'm supposed to die too so I just I was just I just I just just dealt but then something just click was like yeah I gotta be oh yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't say that like no I ain't say that or at least that you were meant to be that you were meant to survive a lot of like really overwhelming odds because the messes that you're trying to get out there is important enough i mean yeah because i'm a favor

keeping their name alive i won't let nobody forget them right i only i want i can't even forget it is that by far the closest people to you that you ever lost in your life or had you lost other people that you were super close with before that my uncle my uncle had died when i was like 13 14 and he was like uh he was like a daddy with me because my dad was doing 15 years in prison and he was like that the the head-dye family you know you got that one person in that family that just control everything right and when he died this one like she got the really shaking weird but then but them like the closest this is my brother my real real brother like my real like my real brother like I got eight brothers but he was like the closest to me like and ain't nobody close with me

and I get him this is my best friend I met him when he was a little boy and then this is my mud brother I met him in third grade so you got all the number their names all over your stomach and shit they face oh you got the faces as well then i got them i got them right just because you felt like you had to do something to commemorate them i mean i mean uh i ain't gonna say that but yeah but then that's not rather really got that i just got it because they they meant something to me they mean something to me so anything that means something to me is on me definitely so they forever stuck with me so you when you see me i always got my shirt off so when you see me you gonna see them too.

When you wake up in the morning, is that you look at yourself in the mirror and just get reminded every day or that's why you're, like is that the idea to see that every day and get reminded of why you're fighting to be successful? Exactly. Even when I get stuck,

when I get a moment I get stuck, I probably look down and look at them. But when I jump on stage, they all be there with me. Definitely. So I rock out. I rock out like they dealt with me. Did that make you a lot more serious about the music after this happened?

Or what changed? Wait, me. way more serious. It made me way more serious because they used to support me. So there's always a dream about, talk about all this, always to talk about. So it's just like it'd be wrong if I didn't complete it. Right. Now that's important for sure. Um, what about your relationship with your girl that y'all get closer because of the fact that you needed her so much in that time when you're in the hospital and shit? Like, I feel like when really bad things happen to you,

a lot of times it brings you closer to your girl. Yeah, because when something bad happened to you and she don't walk out from you or leave me hanging. Exactly. And make it better because I know I could depend on her. She'll always be here. But I could say it made us close to anything. I ain't gonna lie, day by day make us closer.

Because I just know she'd have for me. Even when she was dead when I didn't have a dollar in my pocket. How long you've been with her? Like four years. Four years. Okay, so that's when you didn't have shit too. When I didn't have a dollar, but I knew it since fifth grade.

Mm. She was definitely not. have a dollar in my pocket when I ain't had no no fool she used to bring me food she's the first girl ever took on the date wow I I I first date was going to the movies you know you're supposed to hold the dough I kept fucking up the whole day the whole day I'm fucking up I'm like oh I post a hold the dough don't I just fucking up she thought that shit was cute but I bet a a lot of like young people like I bet she wasn't really used to other dudes holding the door for her and shit because like that that whole custom of like taking a girl on a date it don't really

exists the same way you used to. Like if you say to a girl, I wanna take you to dinner in a movie, she is looking at you like, either you are all cap or like you are the most fucking romantic gentleman on earth. Exactly, see, but my girlfriend, she knows, I love the movies.

Like I said, she's the first person I ever took to the movies. Or like, I, like, see, when I was young, we used to go to the mall and shit, but the, where I had some movies right though. But like, everybody used to like go to the mall and then go try to hit the movies and shit. I used to like I never used to go in the movies

because I probably had no I ain't want to take no girl no date I ain't want to feel like a scrub but you love movies even at that time yeah yeah I love movies you be watching at the crib and shit yeah yeah yeah I watch them on my laptop now but I like going to the movie theaters when I say movie I like going to the movie theater the whole experience because like yeah it's hard to get people somewhere so many people in one place

and one time to focus on one thing to share a communal experience and why no arguments no fighting that's i feel that's the only time you can get somebody to do that and not allowed to look at your phone basically exactly and you and plus you know i'm a robber so i got like duck and dodge you know what's saying but in the movie it's dark so you probably want to know i was down there i'd be having i don't be wearing no change this shit though because i'd be trying to be like thud off so you go low-key in that situation you ever have to yell at a kid tell him to stop talking to the movie no i ain't got to do that i did one time like it was probably

10 years ago and there's a bunch of like 15 year old kids and I just turned it probably a little bit bad as hell. I turned around. Yo shut the fuck up. I lost my fucking mind. My girlfriend at the time at the time. But it was at the same time like man people are whispering and be like, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. Because they were loud as fuck. I already know. My home boys would be be bad as far like that. They used to do shit on purpose. They do it on purpose. They do it on purpose. It's so yeah. I did some shit that they ain't going to lie. We were driving out of my brother red down in the social. We're driving. This was like on the way here. So we did. We did some. We did it. This is like on the way here. So we're coming down.

And it's somebody on a bike riding in the middle of the street. So I'm just being the jackass. I'm like, I get behind it. Just blowing the horn. They stopped the bike. Like, what the fuck? Do you?

I still blow the horn at the air. The whole, all the cars on the side of me just laughing because I'm dying. I'm like, man, this shit funny is for. Oh, man. That's hilarious. Bro. Wait, so your music was,

so when this shooting happened, though, was it the type of situation where you, were already starting to shine and that might have been part of why people were trying to come at you or was this just regular old neighborhood bullshit because once you're a rapper everybody want to kill you yeah exactly but i'm gonna be honest said if uh i don't i'm gonna be honest them uh i don't know where it came from i'm gonna say that i'm gonna say i'm gonna say i don't know where it came from because everybody in my city clean they shot me oh that's one of them

All on rappers, all the bitch that had a rapist say they shot me. Really? So how to fuck all y'all shot me? How to fuck all y'all did that? Y'all don't even know what you all? You know who did it? No. Is it open case for anybody?

No, I don't know who did it, for real, though, to be honest with you. I don't really know. Right. I don't. But is it an open case for anybody? Did you get arrested in relation to this? No. Some police don't fuck me.

They don't give a fuck. Okay. I don't give a fuck. I don't get a fuck that they don't give a fuck because shit I don't want I don't give a fuck I don't like to see nobody in jail no way because jail ain't the place to be right that's worse than dying so you don't if if you knew that somebody shot at you or shot you or whatever you wouldn't wish jail upon them I don't wish jail on nobody I wish everything upon jail death aides all that shit yeah's fucked up I don't give a fuck I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna tell you in jail that that's the that's the worst place to be.

I always, see, you got to go, you've been in jail before? 24 hours, worst 24 hours of my life. Exactly. So, imagine, it's been 45 years

in prison, though. In prison. I never been in prison, but even just being in the county, just like me having a feeling like missing out on life, but see, the jail I was in,

we didn't see no sunlight. We couldn't tell if it's light or dark outside, unless you look at the clock, but sometimes the clock will break. All these dudes, you're smelling other dudes, taking shit,

in front of everybody, shower, terrible, everything. Nass-d-d-ha's, I was sleeping on the ground with my shoe as a pillow. Food so bad, you know what's food. You know the routine of the food so you know what's coming tomorrow. I can't go get no McDonald's.

And then McDonald's is like, I'd eat to them. And out here you can, if, for me, if I'm eating McDonald's, I'm going to kind of gross, I'm going to go eat a salad after. And in there, there's no choice. Like you feel gross, you want to eat healthy food? No, sorry, here's another sandwich. Yeah, there's this nasty sandwich right on mayonnaise. Exactly.

You got to put mustard on it. I like mustard, though. Yeah, I grew into mustard. I didn't like it when I was younger, but I love it now. I like mustard. I like to have chips on my eyes, but damn got chips. That Dijon mustard was a gateway drug. That got me on the real shit.

What's the real mustard? Great Pupon. That's what it's called. They're with the yellow bottle. That's some gash. Oh, you mean Helmins, probably? Probably. That shit so good.

That one that bit, the barbecues. Yeah, yeah, the classic. I like barbecue hot dogs. Not the real barbecue sauce when that, but grill. Yeah, the grill marks. With the black stuff coming out. I mean, I just want grill marks on everything I eat. I love that black and crusty outside type shit on food.

That bitch be so good. That's what's all about it. And then hamburgers. I'm a hamburger guy. If I could just eat whatever I want, I'd be in cheeseburgers every meal of the day. It's that hamburger guy. Did you get into the whole Chick-fil-A versus Popeye's thing? How do you feel about that?

Come on, about that chicken sandwich? Yeah, they had the chicken sandwich. I ain't never had that chicken sandwich. I'd probably be the one to taste it. I'll tell you how good it because I love chicken sandwiches. I had it, but it was a two. day old version there was a guy who was who was buying tons of them and then driving around selling them for a markup selling oh yeah a real hustler that's a real hustle right there i'm gonna tell you i

i never had it but i'm looking for it but they they ain't gonna sell it for another month i think but i'm telling you uh i want into that because if i'm gonna tell you about this if i like chick filet but i like papas but i like papas but say if i like papas and chip papas beef with chick filet guess what I ain't gonna never fought with Chick-fil-A. Really? That's how I see things. That's how committed you are to your set. Exactly.

I ain't got no set. That's how committed on me. Popeyes is the set, bro. Chick-fil-A is the ops. I'm telling you, exactly. That's how it would be. I just had Chick-fil-A-dough, so Papa's probably be mad at me. They might try to ask me out.

I mean, Popeye's, I've just been a loyal fanatic since I was a kid, and then Chick-fil-A's closed one day out of the week. And, you know, that just, that ain't cool to me. I need to be going in any day of the week. Trust me. Chit fillet clothes on Sundays Because they're hell of religious That's fucked up

Yeah right You religious? People don't even like Some people don't even like They don't be wanting chick relay until Sunday Yeah exactly You don't know what That's like you don't even care about

Fucking your girl And then she's on her period And you're like god damn I'm horny I still fuck my girlfriend I'm up here Me too I did last night

I'd be I'd be nut in her when she's on her period too You're supposed to My girlfriend to get mad if I don't Yeah time to run the red light so chloe you named the whole EP after yeah hey my brother say my brother say he don't stop at red light what he said red light what you say i go hard in the paint my brother say i'll walk it we're going hard in the paint so you walker fucker my brother don't

You can make a life at a red light now. Okay. Just rip that magnum off. You can make one and then take one. But wait, so that's interesting though because like myself, I'm super public about my relationship with my girl and shit. Everybody knows.

Oh yeah, me too. I got you too, Chim. See, I like that, though. It's about you because a lot of dudes are kind of low-key. They don't want to tuck their girl away. They don't want to make her famous or whatever. I like that you just out here like, nah, living your truth. Guess what I'm going to tell you something? That's real, row. Yeah. I ain't going to lie. Ever since I, ever since I started promoting me and my girlfriend move. People like you more?

People get the liking me more and my streams go up. And guess what? My girlfriend make her own money now. She makes it just off her being her old, young and age girlfriend. What you got, fashion over deal? Chloe, all that. Tommy Tee. I got fashion over deal, too.

Me too. But she just, yeah, tummy T, how do you know about that? I just see girls slang in that shit. Oh, yeah, they'd be sending her shit. You feel what I'm saying? Just off that right now, that's just more money. Like, that just, that makes her feel more welcome because my girlfriend is not a lazy girl. Yeah.

Like even when I was in the beginning when I was making so much money, she used to be like, I'm going to go get me a job. I say, boy, I said, because I want to be my own money. I just like, no, you good. I can get you anything you want. She said, no, I want to work for mine. I told her if she gets a job, then she's going to better be with me. Oh, boy, she didn't just so she going to get a job.

Not a job where people can go bug her and shit. I don't even want her to do that. See, if she don't get the job, it would probably be some shit in the house. Like, she not, I got her own, well, she got her own health stuff now. See? She do hell. I mean, like, not do people hell, but like, she do the wigs and shit. Right.

Make them and shit. She real wrong with that shit now. That's tight. No, I agree totally. People, like, when you're just out here being single and shit, it's like people. That shit born. They see you as a boring type of person. And then once you, bro, if, like, if you had a kid right now, that shit would blow up.

I would know, I've been trying to have one for so long. For real? Yeah, yeah. But look, I'm going to tell you. See, look. You shooting blanks? Being sing? I think so. I think so. I don't think my shit work. I got to go to the doctor. We got to find out. Look, check me out. When a guy down say,

oh, check me out with my, damn, what I was about to say? Something about making a baby. About making a baby. I think it was something before that. I forgot. God damn. I got a question. You smoke or do drugs or anything? I'm going to be honest. I don't do nothing. You don't do nothing? But I just smoked the J the other night. How was it? You're on the moon?

My girlfriend gonna be mad. She'd see this interview. But she don't want you smoking? I don't smoke. I used to smoke when I was younger, like so much. But like, I kind of stopped because it was like, you know how you do? I would see, I do music.

So it may seem like I can't record unless I smoke. And I ain't want to get into that. You feel me? And I ain't wanna let it beat me. You know what I'm saying? So I kind of, when I had just, I was stopping, then I went to jail and I made it even better.

when I got out, I knew I ain't need it. So every to the day, I don't, I'm a smoke or drink. Hey, wait, take that bad. I just started drinking, though. Fanniehany? No. But, Jerome. We got drunk as fucking New York.

There you go. Me, red eye. You got to live it up once in a while. If you, if you ain't an alcoholic, get drunk once in a while. You got to live it up. I ain't a pissy drunk, though. I don't drink every day. But, like, I probably like, we'll get me something right here.

You know what I'm saying? I drink with my girlfriend. Mm. Like, you know what I'm saying? Just like, just shit like that. But I don't do the smoking shit, but I don't do no type of drugs. Yeah, that's good. A lot of rappers be looking at me crazy when they see I come in there and I don't do no type of drugs.

And a lot of times when it comes to like that studio vibe that people start to get into that mentality, they're like, oh, I drank some lean in the studio and I made a good song. So I'm going to drink lean. And I need a line of Coke and I did a good hook on that song. I need a line of Coke every time I do anything. I don't gain. That shit gets real scary real quick. My brother, Coondo, Coquando Rondo. Yeah, be called me, getting him mad.

Man, ice, you don't do no drugs, huh? Man, you're lame as a fuck. You know what I'm saying? But he'd just be bullshit. Tell Cuando to fuck with me. We gotta get an interview one day. I love that, nigga. Bro, I was watching this long-ass Instagram live clip of you and him and shit,

and it was, like, titled. Like, it made me think y'all were really beefing in the video. Yeah, yeah. I watched like 20 minutes. Y'all were just laughing and joking around the whole time. I'm like, God damn it. They're doing that on Instagram. I mean, they do that when they screen recorders.

But I can never beep for Kondo in my brother. I was fucking with him before. I even, like, blew up beat. Okay. So you got good relationships with him. I seen you got the song with a young boy. And has that relationship always been good? Yeah, I'm good with everybody.

Okay. Cool. I can't beat for no rappers. Okay. You ever tapped in with Kodak? No, I ain't never tapped in with Kod. Free Kodette, though. You a fan of him?

Yeah, Kod at Ro. Oh, yeah. I ain't going to lie. I'm going to be real. I ain't really a fan of nobody. Okay. Kodette Raw. They don't, they ain't, they ain't, when I say I ain't friend nobody, they don't mean nobody not raw, because everybody row.

Even La Yada, he raw his foot. Yad is wrong. When I was younger, I didn't think he was raw at all until I got to realize what he was saying. He really dope. He's a good-ass dude, too. I just, I ain't gonna lie, I just seen this in Atlanta, but in the airport, I've seen him. I just walked right past him, though. I ain't want to, you feel me.

He probably knows who you is, though, because he's, like, hella tapped in with the underground. He knows about everything. He didn't see me, though. Yeah. I had my hoodie on because I just came from Puerto Rico If you got the chains hidden Then you're anonymous right

Yeah exactly Chains hidden hoodie up That's what I'm so impressed When I got my hoodie up And I'm walking somewhere And somebody's like oh Adam Can I get a picture? I'm like shit

You earned it Because I got like this much Of my face showing I don't never tell nobody No for pictures Like people tell them people no But look I wish I could say that

I had to turn down something I never could say no I if I if it's no If it's no If it's no My manager like home We got to go to it show but I never say no because guess what that's that's promotion when you roll around what's your

entourage like what's your team like like I appreciate them though yeah yeah I appreciate them that why I take my pieces of course actually I want to tell you something interesting there's this lady running for president Elizabeth Warren and she after every night when she does her speech or whatever promoting her presidency shit she sits around she waits five hours taking a selfie with every single person there who wants a selfie and it makes a lot of sense because it's like you You might have thousands of people posting up a photo on their Facebook, on their Instagram, of them with you. And yeah, maybe that's just a regular-ass person. They only know a couple hundred people.

But that's a real, like, those couple hundred people who see it might be like, damn, she's legit because she really, like, waited to take a selfie with this person I'm friends with. That goes a long way. Then they make them go footwell. And they probably be like, oh, I need to go there too. Because that's the best thing. People want the close personal reaction. If you never respond to a fan, they're going to be looking at you like, nah, you don't fuck with us. And get what, I read all my comments on Instagram.

and on YouTube too too I read all so I'll be seeing what y'all be saying too that's important they be talking shit sometime too but I find it funny because people go uh they're gonna say what they want to say but I know I'm doing me for sure but I read everybody comments I even coming back sometime or people be DM in me about their life story and I'd DM a back sometimes I like DMing back random people and then screenshoting it and put it on the story so that people think I'm gonna respond to them to yeah that's kind dope but like to be real i don't i won't be doing that i don't screenshot i don't even like you know you see like homeless people yeah like you know how people be uh be like recording themselves

giving them shit i never did that before oh really i just give it to him i be giving me at like hundreds of dollars really but i kind of thought because they somebody jipped me one time really i was in an Atlanta mall you got to watch them they uh they're good with that shit what pickpocking and the shit nah yeah no by no pitpocker they're stealing nobody never stuff I said, my brother. Listen, we was in Atlanta. I went in the mall and shit. You know, they'd be having the young little boys.

My father ain't gonna fuck all their game, because I know what they'd be doing, so I ain't ain't gonna talk about the little boys. But as a grown man, he was winning that with his family. He was like, oh, age, da-da-da-da-da. You know what I'm saying? He's like, man, help me and my family get a hotel and we stuck out here for the night, that type shit, right? Yeah.

So, you know, me being me, cause I struggled. That's what I took out like a couple hundred dollars, probably like a couple of a couple hundred i gave it to him i'm like y'all just getting in what he had his kids with him i go around the block i mean i go around like to another store i come back there and start shopping i say oh for real that's how y'all doing it

i ain't even even speak on it wow now you just fucked it up that dude's a master scammer all the niggas and all the niggas do that shit but you want to that's the fucked up part is if you want to rob somebody and you're willing to really like manipulate them emotionally you can pull off anything i always think about that because i I know dudes back in the day who they used to like go to the bar, link up with a bitch, bring her back to her place, fuck her, and then she would wake up in the morning, all the shit

would be gone. And I'm like, bro, you are the most grimy, devious motherfucker because she's trusting you so much. She's letting you into her pussy. And you're taking her laptop and her phone and other shit. I'm like, you're so disgusting, bro. When I used to be younger, when I used to be younger, my homeboys, right? So they'll probably have some, I probably like, 13, 14.

And in my home, but we'll probably have some holes over, and we'll probably be fucking them right. They're going their purses. Oh, yeah, I mean, I've done too. I can't lie. The girls would be mad at his hell. They're always trying to come to me. Oh, your own boy took my, such amount of money. I used to be like, and the boys ain't take nothing.

I'll go ask them about it. You know what I'm saying? That was when I was younger, though. Yeah, I would try to, like, take a little 20 that she wasn't going to notice. But then I would have some homies that would take everything that was in there. They'd take everything. don't leave nothing like it's a brand new person. I'd be trying to do it slick so they wouldn't really know.

Like no. Crazy. Yo, so where do you feel like you're at with your music right now in terms of what you want to accomplish, what you need to do to get to the next level? You know, you're crushing it on the YouTube views and everything. But what do you want to do to take it to the next level? What I need to do is I just need to work harder, work more. I ain't a lot.

I'm going to be honest. When I used to be so hunker for it, right? I'm still hungry for it. Bikes would be so hungry, but then when I started like getting a lot of stuff, seeing more money, I got comfortable for a little bit. But I had to see it's not bad at reality. Like, this shit can be going tomorrow. And you could be a hundred times bigger than you are right now.

Exactly. Like you might be hyped on where you are, but reality is that there's no ceiling. You could take that shit so much further. Pass the stars. It's hard to like sometimes get into that mentality because before you were fighting to just be able to have enough money to be comfortable. Now you're comfortable. You got to start thinking about, well, shit, I want to be comfortable for 20, 30 years.

I want to make sure my grandkids comfortable. But no, for real, like, I just got to work hard and, like, I expand my brain more. The more I record, the more I let more shit out or the more, like, the difference shit I talk about. You get better with experience. Exactly. So, exactly, that's even better, especially when it's real, when it's real life, it come out easy. Whenever I will always be getting ready for an interview and go listen to a rapper and then listen to him three years before that and I'm like damn like they got so much about I was listening to old Gunna feature from like three years ago I'm like god damn gunna is so much he sounds so much more comfortable on track right now you know it's like even the rappers that we just take it for granted right now that they're dope they're dope because they work their asses off that way I had to learn that but I always used to work all I never been a lazy type of person but like I ain't gonna lie I ain't gonna lie That's that's mainly it because I got the music.

I got the talent. I got the mindset. I just got to apply it. For sure. Press them, put pressure on it. I'm impressed man. This is a good interview. We got deep.

Treasman, Treasman. Got to, got to go deeper. That was dope, man. So are you working on anything in particular right now? You got project in the works? Okay, look, I just dropped the song called, it's called Bad Bits, right? Saw that. But they made me say bad chick.

But it's bad bitch. I got me a bad bitch. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I just dropped it the other day, but I got a remix on it with Black Youngster and it's on my step hard on mixed. I got a step hard to make state,

I was on toy, he popped up on me. Yeah. And we performed and shit, I just would turn... Damn, we turned around and went to his show right after it and turned that bitch up. I fought with that nigga so much. I ain't gonna lie to you. He'd be teaching me a lot of shit, though.

He'd be talking to me, like, be trying to, like, school me on things like shit I can do in life the more money I can see how easy it to make this right up how quick it is to make this million we got quickly it is hey watch this what's that knowledge
