Yeah. So you just, did you put that in the rubber van yourself? Oh, Stug wife. Oh, you just, she helped you out with this. Oh, you crazy, man. I love you to death. Thug wife. Well, anyway, man, this is my boy traffic.

I've been knowing them for a very, very long time. I'm talking about, you know, you know, what, 10 years old? I'll say 12. 12? Probably like 12 years old. Yeah, probably like 12 years old or something like that. Something crazy. I don't know.

I ain't day back, bro. We... Look, man, let's talk about this new music I got coming out. Yeah, hold on before we get into the new music. You know what I'm saying? But, you know what I'm saying? Before, all right, if you don't want to start, because these, you know, the people don't know you,

they ain't familiar with you. Exactly, man. We got to get them familiar with you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I featured on cue shit. Everybody knows that the Tiki knows and all that. We got the sliding.

I got this new shit coming out, y'all. Y'all all need to stay tuned. Call Stepp. It's coming soon. I got a whole little EP car coming soon. And y'all need to stay tuned. This shit is growth. Don't worry about nothing.

I mean, since you want to start there, you know what I'm saying? This is my boy traffic, you feel me. He's been knowing Schoolboy Q for a minute. You know what I'm saying? He started rapping, he started doing his thing, and then you, you know, you landed on a schoolboy Q, you know, Grammy-nominated album. Well, you are Grammy-nominated, though, you know what I'm saying?

Let's just talk about it. That's crazy. How did that feel, though? Let's talk about it. I actually feel cool or would not, but actually, like, shit, I didn't even know all that at first. People were like, bro, you know you're Grammy-nominated? What?

You know you can hold, you can get in the club. Like, you should. Yeah, look me up. Yeah, look me up, bro. Gramey nominated, bro. Yeah. We don't know you. I'm getting in jail.

You what? Ligger, I'm Grammy nominated. Just check me out. Nigger, what you talk about? It went to rock the carpet, but I was in jail. You feel me? He stuck, like, man, you got to go like that. So who was rapping first?

You know what I'm saying? You are Q? Shit. I would say him. He was rapping first? Yeah, we all used to, you know, do our little thing as kids, but nobody wanted to think about it. Well, he probably was.

I wasn't. You know what I'm saying? He motivated you to take it serious, though? No, what motivated me was people telling me because I used to freestyle, you know, do time here and there. People like, bro, you're hard. I was like, bro, I'm just freestiling fucking around.

They're like, bro, you dope. You know what I'm saying? I kept listening to that. I fall off. I'm like, man, I ain't doing that shit. I kept giving up and shit, doing shit like that and then go back. You feel me?

And then I was like, you know what? I'm going to give it a try when I got off the pen. And they're on Q shit. So, you know, that was motivation in the streets, people telling me. You know what I'm saying? So you and Q grew up as, like, childhood friends. Yeah, of course. Yeah, that's my brother Floyd best friend.

Okay. Smack and all of us, you know, Smat, Q, Floyd, you know, Floyd, my brother, because, you know, Q, that's the homie state, right down the street, across the street, with smack on the other side. So you wouldn't say that's your best friend? Yeah, but I'm just saying, like. He just more best friends with Floyd? Like, what, they're just saying?

That's your homie, nigga. Yeah, that's my homie. I'm just saying, like, you know what I'm saying? Of course, nigga, we best friends. But I'm more so, like, they was, like, more childhood best friends. Yeah. Like, that's them. That's crazy, though, that y'all grew up together, man.

And he accomplished what he accomplished, doing what he's doing, you know what I'm saying, living on the same street. And just to see that, like, then how, I know a lot of people out there will want to know, Like, how was it growing up before the fame? Oh, man, before the fame, it's not even fame to me. Because I don't look at it like that. I'm still the normal nigger. Yeah.

You feel me? I'm just like everybody else, bro. So I don't look at it like as his fame. I'll just look at it as growth. Like somebody like, I want to be different. You feel me? Yeah. That's what I'm trying to bring to the two in the game.

I'm in my own lane. You feel me? So I like it like that. Well, I was talking about my. Kugas, you ain't famous yet. No, I'm just bullshit. No, you're doing your thing. No, you're doing your thing.

And a lot of motherfuckers know you. A lot of motherfuckers, like, look up to you. You know, appreciate what you doing. Like, and then, you know, sometime in the street, you, I don't, I don't think you, you know what I'm saying? You grasp that. You feel what I'm not soaking at all in sometime.

Like, you're a fucking role model. You feel what I'm here? You know? I do take knowledge of that because I'm trying to start a non-price. Let's go be called stepping instead of just talking about it taking initiative step up and really help people know out You feel me and I got that definition behind They're some kids they were fighting

They know the fight or whatever So I want to name it that because I fight for what I believe in was right and that's why I'm trying to start it But it's getting off the ground a little bit. You know you got to go ODR and all that get the document and now everything solidified, so I'm going with that. Don't worry about nothing. Yeah, I did that. I started a nonprofit, too, you know, save a child, Los Angeles, and I threw a backpack giveaway.

I actually invited you, and you didn't come. I was going to work. You're like Floyd came through, you know what I'm saying? That's cool. Floyd, the only one that came through, smack thing come through he over there every day he over there every day talking him all that bullshit he was no jubber no jubber I told him I'm gonna go give away some backpacks

nigga ain't fall through that's crazy to me man look I know he want to complete his case too but he can't whatever nigga but look yeah that's what I'm up against right now trying to get that up and moving so I know I'm trying to do what's right for the kids who don't who's not fortunate that really ain't got nothing to look forward to Because you really, really, really from the streets. You really do this, you feel

me? Even though you Grammy nominated, you're rapping with Q, you're doing your thing, but you really in the streets, like, you know, how hard is it to transition out of that, knowing you're trying to reach this goal and trying to be a successful rapper? It's not hard at all because I take what the streets already taught me

and show me and utilize that to where I don't need them. I know they're still the same. The streets more so need me. You feel me? Yeah. Oh, the streets need you to be there. You feel what, them, then walk them through the way.

When did you start realizing that? My kids, Ben, made me realize that. Like, you feel me? And I really want to teach them a whole other way of growing up. Like, it's okay to have a mom in the dad there as a household. It's not. You don't have to be discouraged in anything you want to do. Whatever you want to do, I support it, and I want you to be the best at it.

You know what I mean? So I support whatever they want to do. Tell me? Whatever. Let's start from the beginning of traffic, the beginning of traffic, little traffic, you know what I'm saying. Little, man, let's start from the beginning in the 50s, 51st Street, you know, block party traffic. You know, let's start there, you know. What school did you go to, mom and dad?

Okay. My mom, you know, darling, beautiful lady. You feel me? Let's shout her out. Let's shout out. Shout out, Mama. Shout out. Yeah.

God life, Mama. Yeah. You love you. You already know. Shot your sister out to you too, you know what I'm saying? All my family, man. Mom's, Pops, rest of peace, man. Shout to everybody.

All my brothers and sisters, I love y'all. You already know what's up, man. Thug life. Yeah, I love moms. Mom, she needed a trophy. for the stuff she's endured, the stuff she's been through. Yeah, she went through a lot, you feel I'm feeling me? Shout out special, too, man.

Special. Yeah. She's smarter than most. And I'm actually doing something for that because, and she's also the inspiration behind, I want to start, like, within the nonprofit that I'm trying to do is an insight for artistic kids and the mothers who have them, because the artistic kid is not like a normal kid. It's more as to little work with that.

You got to put on their knowledge. No, they're normal, of course, but, you know what I'm saying? It's a little bit more as to work with them or having them. You know what I'm saying? And they want things and certain things the parents may not can afford it. And unfortunately, I want to participate in one of them getting it for them. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

Shit like that. No, I respect that, though. I respect that, though, because it takes a lot to take care of kid. and do that and be sane doing it because some people, you know, mental don't be right. You know what I mean? And some people mental don't be right. So a little traffic, you know, growing up, 51st Street, man.

How was that, man? I mean, it was a show. It was a movie, man. It was a sight to see, a site to love and appreciate. You feel me? My household was cool. You know what I'm saying? You know, hard times as usual like normal people do.

Both parents? No. Oh, yeah, both parents, yeah. And the household. Yes. And there, you know, pops just, you know, there, then, you know, whatever, bouncing in and out, whatever. But, no, yeah.

do you feel like you was lost in the street sometime? You feel like you had the, you was blacked out that motherfucker? That's what caused me to do like a lot of shit.

A lot of time that I did in jail that caused from not thinking blacking out of all. You know, just a lot of doing stupid shit, man. You feel me? Going up being hard-headed. You feel me?

There's a lot of shit I could have did different. Well, being in jail did it. Did it help you or did it hurt you? Both. Shit. Yeah.

When did it start helping you? It was like a positive negative. It was like, fuck. That overmitsch, but I can't do nothing about being there. That was the hurt part. Like, that was the hurting me part. And plus, I supposed to be out there doing what the fuck I got to do. Now I'm like a liability in here.

I can't do shit. Now I'm looking for people that like, damn, come through for me. I can't go move. Can't do nothing in that bitch. I'll try to call shots from the phone. You feel me? And that shit barely working. Yeah.

but when you was in there, do you feel like, you know what? This is it. This is the last time. Yeah, I'm not doing this shit no more. I was fighting life, so it got extremely real.

Yeah. You feel me? When you're fighting for life and murder, you see? You feel me? So it gets a whole other ballgame. I thank God that I came on for that. You feel me? That's why I'm here.

That's why I'm dropping this hot shit on their ass that they finish get. Don't worry about nothing. And before that last time you had got out, you was already rapping. You was with Q, you know what I'm saying? And you did your thing in the tucky nose. He invited you to the crib to do that, right? To hop on that verse. You know what I'm saying?

Take the people through that, like, you know. That whole setup was crazy because I didn't know he was going to ask us to be on the song. He's like, bro, who else? You fucking went, woo-woo. I was like, shit, man. I was fucking with my boy T. You know what I'm saying? Bring him through.

Woo-woo. He goes to his house. He's like, what y'all think of this beat? He was listening to it and shit. It's cool. like, all right, write a verse to it. You wrote my verses and fucked with it and went from there. Even still, when you wrote your verse, you being close to cue,

you didn't think that was like a surreal moment, like this shit going to happen. No, because I didn't even know if he would go like the verse. So it was more so like, damn, because this is a man. We don't like this. Like, man, you're trash. Yeah. You feel me, but fortunately.

That shit came out hard as a motherfucker. You feel me? Like, I like that shit. Now, showtime. Okay, yeah, so you did all of that, nigga, you went on tour, you, you know what I'm saying? You did all that, then, boom, you go to jail. Yeah, go to jail.

And you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Two and a half years fighting for my life, bounced back out. I'm here. Doing your thing, yeah. Now you're here, you know what I'm saying? Fucking with me, though.

Yeah. You know what I'm ready to take it there? Yeah, so what you got? What you got going new? Original. Oh, for real. I would like to call myself her original too, buddy, you know what I'm saying? Figg side.

I don't got no figure or a tat. Oh, yes, I do. I got it on my stomach. I ain't going to say that. Fid. Fid. So what you got up new, nigga? Man, I got some shit called so hard that's coming out.

You know what I'm saying? It's different. It's versatile. I think it saw a different side of me, how I'm trying to play in my voice, you know, how I'm becoming me as an artist as traffic being there. You feel me?

But we're in the music, you feel me? I'm taking it there. So you don't feel like you was ever you doing music? You feel like you still experiment? Yep, because I know the streets want to hear something different all the time. You don't have to just, you could try to switch it though.

You could be versatile. You don't have to sound the same every time. Like West Coast shit. Yeah. Like you don't want to be on that type of vibe. Of course. There's always the West Coast vibe. Yeah.

You know, the vibe is also a force. More so like a different force type of vibe. Like, you know, a different type of street rap. Street smarts type of shit. I'm more so giving people like street knowledge and street smarts when I rap when I'm talking to. You feel me? Just like right now, I don't have to rhyme with this shit.

But at the end of the conversation, you go give what I said. You know what I'm saying? Like what different things are you doing, you know what I'm saying, to, you know, further your rap careers, you know what I'm saying? And your rap ability, like what different things are you doing when you fucking with different producers or, you know what I'm saying? Always open to different producers for sure. And a lot of them when they hear my sound, they send me bigs.

They're like, and I fuck with them. And I like that. Feel me? So I'm very open to different producers for sure. Shout out of Loda Great. Oh, yeah, Lord of Great. You know what I'm saying? Shout on my nigga and the interview just dropped.

That's my nigga. It's fire, bro. Don't worry about nothing. So why you ain't getting all the beats from Cah? I do. But why do you want to know all that? You're doing a project? What kind of what?

Man, don't worry about nothing. Yeah. Why are you? No, we ain't mind that this is it. We're supposed to be doing this shit. Yeah, we're doing it. on it. Yeah.

But you know what I'm saying? Look out for that. Look out for it, please. Saul hello the great. Shout out for my nigga, young Sam. Y'all already know what's up, man. Fick. Yeah.

Young Sam, too. The island. Who? It is an island. It's a island. It's a island. The 50s period. Big side.

Yeah. It's an island for sure. So different producers. My boy, you know what I'm saying. He came up here. He did his thing. You know, and he's doing his thing in Los Angeles, period. Let's just a show.

He really, like, got this shit going. The 50s is definitely, you know what I'm saying? Produces some shit. And he said his grandmother was one of the first people or the first person to throw, you know what I'm saying? The block party on 51st Street. Vicki. Shout out to Vicki. We love you.

Rest of peace, Vicki. Yes. Vicki was a little black activist. A part of the community who always wanted to see the kids enjoy their self on us. And everybody enjoy theirself on the days that they may not have to go to work. Oh, they just need a break on the block. Everything was out of jumpers, basketball court. You go to everybody else, everybody got food out.

Yeah. So we go in a different house. It's trying shit. Thank you, my me. You know what I'm saying? All the shit's all kinds of different shit. Everything, barbecue, jumpers, all this shit. Yeah.

Nick's got drinking and shit. So. Throwing talent shows, knick is rapping. You feel me? After Vicki died, did that shit just stop? Yeah. But somebody's starting it back, slowly but progress, yeah. But yeah.

You're going to be involved with that shit, though. Yes, I am going to get involved. And I think you should, too. It's a part of the community, man. I'm trying to be a black activist as well. You're from the island. Yeah. You're from the island.

Yeah. Let's speak on it. Yeah, let's speak on it. Yeah, step on it. Shout out the stepers, man. Non-profit organigate, organization, man. You know what I'm saying.

No, if you're... They got a non-profit. I like that. Organization. Excuse me. It's going to be going to be stepping, man. You're stepping up, man. And you should be involved.

Let's get, let's help the community, man. No, I'm going to be involved. Don't worry about nothing. You're an island back cracking, man. Don't worry about nothing. You're stupid though that way for me. What? They can stumble the only way you know.

Doing this rap shit, do you ever? ever, you know, come to a, you know, turns with yourself sometime, you're like, you know what, I can't do this shit no more. Fuck this shit. It was the point to where it came annoying at one point. Like, and it was more so of a writer block thing, though, that I used to have bad. I used to run into it. Like, a head-on collision.

I used to get frustrated, rip shit up, like, fuck it, forget about it, and then I start going more so meditation, thinking, common mind. myself down and just, you know, thinking about my life. But more so, instead of just really diswriting it, I think it first because it's how I'm feeling. You feel me? So you're getting that energy within. So you're a ninja now with this shit.

Yeah, I like that, though. I'm more so very mindful about my life and how things it is are nowadays. You feel me? So I'm more so getting a grown crypt. type of aspect mind frame you feel me my whole perspective is different now from just gangbanking like fuck all that I did that before I know what it is though y'all know what it is though you feel me I think you I think you come in terms with you come in terms with yourself like that when you put family first when you start

putting family first and you start thinking okay it's other people that dependent on me it's other people that look up to me and shit like that like you start thinking like you start broadening your horizon for sure like you know and everything kind of slowed down like hold on we ain't got to be moving so fast we ain't got to be doing all this shit all the time you feel i'm like i could calm down and this shit and this shit can go right and you can pay attention and everything ain't got to be like so crazy all the time yeah so i can think i can live for my family you feel me so i got to be more so mindful about them that it hurt You feel me?

When you got, when you're in certain situations, or you might hurt yourself, your family are going to be hurt too. You feel me? And you got to think about other people, family as well. You feel me? That's like just nowadays,

you got to think for other drivers when you're driving. Shit. Yeah. You feel me? Shit like that. Safety for everybody. Do it ever bother you that a lot of niggas

is, you know what I'm saying? It's like growing a little faster than you. You feel me? And trying to reach, you know, reaching those goals and then you still right here. Do you ever feel stagnant at some point? It wasn't like in a sense of being discouraged. Yeah, I mean. No.

Because, see, actually I applaud them. Shit. I like to see that. That's encouragement. I don't look at it as being discouraged me. So what keeps you motivated? Like you said, other than family, other than family. Myself.

See, I got to keep myself motivated. I love myself. I'd be going on a day-to-day basis. Now, to keep you motivated to keep going and doing this shit. Working them, I basically just, just working on my mind, more so, like always working on myself, how I could become better than what I was, actually. I go to work every day, all that.

All the time, my God. So it's more so, like, I put a lot of shit ahead before. You feel me? Instead of putting the streets before anything, now I put other shit before that. And that's tight, though. Let's talk about that, because you go on to work

and you still pursuing a rap career. And in the rap game, niggas is looking down on that, like, is something wrong with that, like having a job. It's not cool. I have a time and plan, four-time benefits.
