Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. And today I'm in here with a street legend himself. Yeah, Gaudi. How you feel, man? I'm good. I'm good. Yes, show.
Starting point is 00:00:09 How you, I've seen you at the YSL home, one of the many Wiesel homes a few weeks ago. Right. But you went back to Atlanta, right? Right. And now you're back out in L.A.? Back out here. I actually went back to Atlanta, went to Miami and see my family. They just catch up, and then now I'm back.
Starting point is 00:00:26 That's where your family's located at? So you're not like an Atlanta guy. For the most part, you're from Florida? I'm born in Miami, but I moved to Atlanta when I was one. So, like, my whole childhood had been in Atlanta. Really? So that's how it's, like, so connected. So do you, when you go to Florida, though, do you feel like a connection to there,
Starting point is 00:00:43 or do you consider yourself really like an Atlanta guy? It's like, it's really like I got the best of both real. So it's like my whole family in Florida, so that connection I always dealt. But it's like, I'm kind of standoffish. So it's like more so. Atlanta's home But Miami is like On my roots at
Starting point is 00:01:03 I get it yeah I got you Okay so tell me about your Your early life And like where you were like as a kid and shit Man Like well you know like Okay
Starting point is 00:01:13 A lot of people said they Jumped out of the porch So like I probably jumped out of the portion I was 13 so it's like Everything was regular Until that moment And like I kind of seen One of my homeboys in my breathe away
Starting point is 00:01:24 Shot You feel him and like Yeah it got hit like four times And it kind of like, it forced me to grow up ahead of my time. Really? Yeah. So it's like everything was normal to then. Like, it was kind of like good grades.
Starting point is 00:01:39 It wasn't, that was just our age, but it was like, okay, good grades. Well, B and C's a couple A's. So seeing somebody that you were close with to get shot at that young of an age, though, were you, because like, obviously if you're really paying attention to rap and stuff like that, it's like you hear about people getting into incidents and stuff like that, But was this the first time that you had actually had something happened that, like, hit you close to home, realizing, like, oh, this shit could happen to me. Happens all the time, et cetera. And that just kind of changes your whole worldview.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Yeah, that was, like, the first time. Like, the first time. And it's like, damn, I had heard about it a lot. But actually seeing it and seeing him bleeding. You feel, me, crying for help. Like, my mama actually called the police for him. You feel him? So it's like, that was the first time.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I seen him. I was going outside the play. I seen him. And when I told my mom. and she came and called the police. Wow. Yeah. And so how did that change you?
Starting point is 00:02:29 Like, what did you start doing differently after that point? Um, it's just like, I went with my normal routine, but it's like in my mind, stuff like that I always hunted me. You feel it because it's like, it's close to home. Yeah. Definitely. But so it didn't like kind of get you spooked in terms of not wanting to be in the streets or did it make you more interested in that side of things?
Starting point is 00:02:53 Believe it or not, it kind of made me more. interested in seeing like, well, I got to protect myself and my family. Because I'm the youngest child on my mom's side. So it's like my brother, he's been gone since I was in the grade, he's been in college and in the NFL, like playing sports. So it's like me and my mom. So it's like anything that I can do, I have to protect my family. Like I'm the man in the house. Right. So you had that feeling from a young age, like I'm in charge here. I'm going to have to protect my family. That's a lot of responsibility for a young guy. Yeah. That was. That was. That was.
Starting point is 00:03:25 That was me, you feel, because it's like, I always mean like the youngest, even like in Wattell, like, I'm one of the youngest. Or like, even with just out of street gang or I always wanted the youngest. I ain't ever just home with a lot of people my age. So it's like I took their mentality to home, like home. What I'm seeing, the older guys on the block do and take care of their family. I always want to be that person. Right. To provide.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It makes sense. So after that, you just sort of start. getting wrapped up in more street shit. Is that how you would describe it or like what what kind of shit really literally changed? Well like I still play sports. So it's like sports was almost my savior to end up being jammed out, jammed up and then it got on some like, okay I play sports Monday through Friday and Friday through Sunday I'm in the streets like just where it was like a dose of it. It wasn't just full full ledge in the streets. But it was just full of it. But it was just full of ledge in the streets but it just caught a case and they took my scholarships and then it
Starting point is 00:04:30 was like I'm all in at what age 16 16 you had scholarships for college like you were going to go to college I was going to go to college I was going to go to college and you were you were really good at football yes it's on YouTube like it's documented I I was ranked you feel like out of top 200 like I was ranked had schools like Georgia Marshall Tennessee Tennessee, Appalach State, like, a couple of D-1s, like, TCU. And it just, like, I called a case, like, one bad to see it. What was the case?
Starting point is 00:05:03 It was, I could talk about it now, like, because it's like, it was a rape, like, right. Well, you got accused of it? Accused of it, yeah. Wow. So what was it? It was, like, okay, I was like a party situation? No. It was just like, okay, I was popular because I played sports.
Starting point is 00:05:20 So I was one of the best on the team, and I was also rap. So it's like I had the best of both rails and we're pulling up school and in business or just you know how it is young head big feeling itself So it was actually a girl who got transferred to the school and like okay so she's like kind of fresh meat So everybody at her everybody at her but like somehow she came for me because I guess she seemed like I was one of the ones and then I just remember walking her to class and then I left so after I left, she was like, um, so we're going to go together, and I told I know. So all of a sudden, she just told another dude, and he went home and told his parents, and next day they tried to come lock me up, but I ran out of school.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Holy shit. Yeah. So you took off, were you on the run for a while? No, I didn't turn myself in. It's like, I know I ain't even rape, no. You feel, I'm like, I ain't, you never had a problem with women. You feel, I'm like, so it's, I turned, my mom made me turn myself in. I did, like, two weeks in rice street.
Starting point is 00:06:22 on the South Flo, it's like, that's like, direct, like, it's a danger zone. Right. So that even woke me up to where it's like, I'd never be normal again. Right. I'd never be normal. Like, I'm up here with, I'm 16 years old up here with real,
Starting point is 00:06:38 like killers, like people with license, and you feel, me, like, 20-7. You thought you knew what was going on on some street shit before, and now all of a sudden you were with everybody who really is past the point of no return. Exactly. And like I say, I'm always, like, one of the youngest.
Starting point is 00:06:52 So I'm 16, 17, these dudes anywhere from 20 on up. So it's like, damn, like, I remember walking in the dorm and seeing two dudes fight as soon as I walked in. It's like, oh shit, what I was supposed to do? Were you scared? Because, I mean, you don't have any of your normal, like you got your homies when you're on the outside. You're just solo. Ain't no cap. Yeah, I was scared.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Like, I'm scared. You feel? But it's like, when you from that, you, you know, not the show that you're scared, but you know, like, just to respect. respect it about it. And if you provoke or if it come to you, that's when you have to handle your business. But not. Just walk up with your nose out of luck. Like, yeah, nobody ain't going to do nothing to him. You feel, me. You just, I just had to be smooth with it. Did you end up having a fight? Like, when you were in there during that short period of time, you have to prove yourself to any extent? No, a dude tried me. But when he seemed like, I was going to stand up.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And all the older dudes, like, hell, now, leave him alone. That's a young guy. Like, no, yeah, nah, bro. Pick on somebody on the own side. But just like when you're in a situation like that, the person to test you. So it's like I wasn't going. Like I can't because if I would have just went out bad or he let him pump me, then it would have opened a door for everybody else to do it. And I got a man, I'm going to go on the stove and get my commissary. Like I can't go like that.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Right. So did that case just go away? Like did she not end up really trying to follow through with it? No, like it stayed pending for like having the team. stayed penning for seven years. Seven? Just beat it. That's how I just knew it was some bullshit.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And she was trying to take it to court the whole time. It was like... Like, I don't know. Like, after... Okay, I got out on bun. After that, she left the school. And I never heard from her. Like, she disappeared.
Starting point is 00:08:38 But she went to a whole other school. I think she went to North Carolina and did the same thing to another dude. Holy fuck. Yeah. So it's like, that's where that movie is. Dad is a little girl. Like, that's some stuff like...
Starting point is 00:08:50 I... I'm thinking that's some moving stuff. Like, it actually goes on. Right. So I end up going fed. And when you're in the feds, if you have an open charge, they want to get you no highway house. So I had to hire a whole other lawyer, and then they end up calling like, you beat it.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Like, I don't even know why this still was pending. It wasn't no evidence on none on the case. It was just what she said. That's so crazy that your dreams of playing sports could be totally crushed just by a fucking accusation. Yeah. And that's why, like, I have a couple of homies in the NFL or NBA, and I just stay on them. Like, bro, it ain't just for you because that was my dream. So I'm like, bro, when you school, I school, like, you feel what I'm saying? They feel the same way about me? Like, bro, when you have a hit or you have a son that's training, like, it's because they listen
Starting point is 00:09:40 to the music, so it balances each other out. But that was my first role, like sports. Okay. So how many, how long were you actually in prison, though, like two weeks or did you end up having to go back in after that or were you just dealing with the court case and shit okay that was counting so there's just two weeks and then it was back and forth the court and then I didn't go to court for so I didn't go to court no more and then I end up getting locked up for um a murder charge like two years later okay yeah so it just I like me just up and down you feel but I'm still here so it's like you know I know I got to read Did you start making music before all this shit started happening, or when did the music become part of it?
Starting point is 00:10:23 The music in the middle of the rape man in my heart of charge. I was always around it, so it's like, I go in my closet or be in the shower and just play with it, but I couldn't really get it. I couldn't grasp it. But I knew I could do it, but I ain't had a patient to grasp. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like, I always play with it, but I actually started taking it serious, like, in that gap. like right around the rape charge. I ended up.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I had two homies when I had to rap. And shout out of them to Rico Cash and Landshrip. They was real good at rap. So I took them, I had the connections. So I just plugged them in with block entertainment. Oh, okay. And like, that's my uncle. So it's like he gave us a deal.
Starting point is 00:11:16 It just went for now, but he told me I had to start rapping to get my money. So that would make me just like start rapping in. So how long after that did you end up meeting Thug? Or was he like the first established rapper that you ended up like really working with? Yes. But me and Thorpe, like we've been knowing each other since like seven or eight. Okay. So you're from similar neighborhoods and shit?
Starting point is 00:11:37 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're from like done in the same neighborhood. His neighborhood is like right behind man. Right. So it's like we always knew each other. We always kicked it, you know, played against each other. sports. Just like, yeah, so it's like before we jump out of ports, we always seen each other. And there was a respect to tip on athlete, and we come from the same struggle.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And it's got to where he jumped out of porch before me, but he'll be all in my hood, which that's the point of time where it ain't no game. It's like, you can't come out of hood. We ain't going to your hood. But somehow he'll end up in the hood. Like, he got a pass. Like, he good. Yeah, because like, I feel like everybody growing up, you're, you're, you're, watching different people and how they move and shit and you're seeing somebody like thug like if he's the first person from your area or similar age to you that ends up being successful that can completely change how you view what's possible my co-host ad that i do a lot of shit with he's talking about how he was fully on the gang shit he was all about protecting his area etc and then he he became friends with a couple rappers he starts going to club studios start seeing like oh like this is what's possible and it just completely opened his mind like i'm not going to just try to be sitting outside of you're the crib all day yeah yeah it just show you like I don't I don't have it's it's it's on you if you want to be normal like like and that's how it was like thought was the first person like from my generation and I hood to just take off and don't look back I mean a lot of people take off but they career
Starting point is 00:13:05 don't just be long stream like thought was that first person and he opened my ass because I he's a important inspiration in general too though because he's just like he was just like he was just so uncompromising. Like he was just so blatantly just doing his own weird-ass thing. Like he didn't give a fuck about trying to fit in and be like anybody else. And he completely like changed the game by just being himself and being as strange as he is. But he created, you know, he's probably like the most, I always say I think Thor was probably the most influential rapper of the last 10 years. Sure. Yeah. So. And he, it's crazy. As a lot of people don't know. Like he's been like that. Like when everybody was wearing bag of
Starting point is 00:13:42 jeans, like he converted to skin as in his life. Like this, back then in middle school, type of stuff like bands and he'd been like skateboarding rock star like he'd been converted so it's like a lot of people didn't understand but I always seem because like we we so much in common like our first love really is like fashion like you feel what I'm saying so it's we I seen what he was doing you feel I mean sometimes I take from him or yeah take for me it would balance each other out you feel I'm saying but I definitely agree with you on he's the most influential last 10 years. So was he somebody who was pushing you to make music as well?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Is he somebody who was like who believed in your talent? It wasn't, it was the talent, but it wasn't really just like, we come from the same cloth. So it's like, you need to rap, bro. You just had a deal and you messed it up. Now you got a better situation. You need to rap. So it's like, you damn that made me, you start right, right? But it's like, I was leaning towards it, but it's like, when you're so caught up in the street, it'd be like, man, and you're getting. The rap won't pay, like in the beginning, the rap won't pay what you're getting paid in the streets. But it'd be that sacrifice.
Starting point is 00:14:51 It was like a long-term work to build something up. Exactly. It'd be that long-term, like, sacrifice. Definitely. And so, okay, but your original label situation didn't work out, the original deal you signed, or how did that go? It's just didn't work out. Like, I just part of ways I had signed some son of the RCA up on the Mark Pitt and Block Entertainment. But it just didn't work.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Like, it wasn't what I wanted, and it was a group. So it's like, you know how the groups were, you feel, me. Like, I still talk to all the guys, but it's still like egos and, you feel, man. And in a day, my mind, I didn't really, wasn't then, it wasn't just on the rap one. So it's like, I don't know who bought y'all to the table and y'all are, like, go big on me. So it's like, I just, like, I'm through. Then I had a murder, I was down a bun on the murder charge. It was over my head.
Starting point is 00:15:41 So it's like, I can't focus on a rap. I probably got a feeling to go do a life sentence. Well, I'm probably from being on the run for the rest of my life. So they catch me. It's hard to, it's like hard to focus on building this career when you're thinking like, this career might not even happen. Exactly. So it's like, now that this behind me, it feels, like,
Starting point is 00:15:58 now that everything behind me, like, I'm just focused on rap. You feel, me for the first time in my life, I'm just focused on making good music, being an artist. Yeah, and that's like a lot of the people that I talk to, I have a lot of friends who are, like, very deeply invested in the YSL world. So it's like if there's anybody who comes around the thug camp, they're paying attention. Like they knew about Gunna as soon as Gunna was hanging out. Like they fucking knew about Yat Gaudi as soon as they heard you on a thug tape.
Starting point is 00:16:22 So like that was the impression I got from a lot of my friends like, oh, you got to interview this dude because he's like the next one out of that world. Right, right, right. I appreciate that. No, I definitely appreciate it's an honor. I mean, in the same thing with me like, like, I'm tuned then like, it should be time we're on tour and I just be watching those interviews because I know. it could be potentially me doing this, you feel, so I just pay attention to other people interviews and know how to critique myself, like,
Starting point is 00:16:50 and just know how to talk, know, you feel, my contact, or just know certain stuff, you feel, and just like, like, my people in Atlanta, they're like, are you gonna do no jumper, bro, you, that's good. Like, yeah, I appreciate it way. You know, it's just like, you can't just overreact, like, you can't overthink it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 It's just like, it's, I'm at the point now where it's kind of normal. That's fair. Like getting out, it's, Everything was moving so fast. I just got to understand, like, all my childhood friends, like, down there made it. The ones that were out.
Starting point is 00:17:19 All of them that actually made it and went up. Got platinum and gold plaques. And so it's like, well, they can do it. I can do it. It's funny when you say the thing about interviews and, like, thinking about what you would say one day once you got an interview and shit, because I feel like Thug is somebody
Starting point is 00:17:34 who didn't do any interviews for a long-ass time. And then in the past, like, year, he did one interview with me, and then I seen him go and do it. hour with Big Boy. And I was like, man, this is crazy. Like, we're seeing like a much more social version of Thug because I think Thug for a long time didn't want to talk to the press because he felt like they were going to misrepresent him. Yeah, that's kind of what it was. Because he's like, he's one of a kind. So it's like, y'all will take the little stuff he ran
Starting point is 00:17:58 with and just make it something else or y'all will dig and dig and just be asking a question that he probably don't feel comfortable answer. So he probably wanted to let the music speak for himself, speak for him. And then now he's, he doesn't open up. That was one thing I noticed about him when I was interviewing him is that he like actually can't like he can't hold back from just saying exactly how he feels because there was a couple little things that he said in that interview that I was thinking in my head I'm like bro people are going to take this different than how you mean it and then that is exactly what happened is that like the blogs tried to say like oh he said this
Starting point is 00:18:30 he said that and it's like I knew exactly what he was trying to say but it was just so clear to me that he wasn't really thinking about shit as in how people were going to take it yeah he He don't really care. Yeah. He don't care. He don't care. I mean, well, him plenty of time. Like, he don't care.
Starting point is 00:18:44 It's like, I get mad. Like, bro, what you're mad for? Yeah, bro, he just tried you. Like, I don't know, man. Yeah. It's crazy because I feel like for a lot of people the first time they ever heard, Y'I Gotti was when you said,
Starting point is 00:18:54 I'm Y'I Gotti, I got bodies on bodies. Was that the first big song that you had out on an official thug project? Yes. Dreams. Like, back in the gap like we did, music got it never got released. But Dream was,
Starting point is 00:19:08 dream was my brown my like my rap moment like to break in the industry like that was my moment and it's crazy because I asked him like bro you're going to put that on your tape because I actually didn't like the verse you feel like me like and I said it like different like I said how you doing I'm that guy that I got about it's on top of about this so he's so in tune with the music like I'm thinking like well he's gonna think because he's already will be it then so I'm thinking like we're gonna think and he's just like oh, it's hard, but you got to see it like this. So that's how I came.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I got by his own baddies. That's crazy that he has that attention to detail. He's so, like, I ain't like like he's a genius when it comes to that. You feel him like he's a genius. He knows the spacing and not to record itself. You know the tempo. Like he just knows how to put it or how to see it or what you're going for. You feel like you've learned like an incredible amount about music from just being in that environment
Starting point is 00:20:02 and being around all like gun to thug, all these people who like are, you know, they're not like classically trained with music at all but they just clearly have such an understanding of melody and like what it what makes a dope song right yeah like just being out and it's like you get to the plan i'm in that with um slime gonna future till like i'm in i'm in i'm in the way you feel the legends of alana so it's like yeah a lot of people be selfishly man damn i want to get on the song but let me get on this i just sit back and soak it up because it's like they they work so fast but it still be a good body of work so I just sit back and soak it up and sometimes I even pull my phone out and I started writing the verse I know it's not going on
Starting point is 00:20:46 this but I'm just preface them I'm just like I'm just like perfecting my crowd right can you talk about what happened with this murder case that you beat yeah it's beat yeah how'd that go But actually, like, first I'm saying, I didn't do it. Right. If you got off, I'm a believe you. Yeah, I didn't do it. But a dude shout at my mom. Yeah, in my hood.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Whoa. Over, why? Like, okay. Me and my mom had gotten into it. I ain't like I was like a hard-haired child. I didn't listen. But it's just, me and my mom's so much light, so I didn't listen. I didn't listen.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I ain't want to hear that. We got the argument and she actually left. So one of my brothers came and get me chairs. And I'm around with him. We ran around smoking all day. She's trying to cool him down. So she ended up going to a place in my hood. It's a four way, we call it the four way.
Starting point is 00:21:51 And I guess I'm out of walking too slow or whatever it happened. She blew the horn. So the dude like, fuck you bitch. My mom, like fuck your mom, bitch. But the dude, mama, were dead. So it's like, back in, like, they are in this, and then, I guess he just shot at my mom. And you found out about it? Yeah, I definitely found out about it.
Starting point is 00:22:12 You weren't too happy about it. No. I was so mad, but it's like, I couldn't get to him. I ain't like, like, yeah, you shout on my mom, bro, you got to go. But I couldn't get to him. So, but it's like my mom, it's that mom that got a little of respect for everybody. So you give out. You give out what you get in.
Starting point is 00:22:31 it's like we'll be at the screen ring 10-20D my mom and that mom make trips back and forth to make sure everybody to get back to the hood. So it's like I have, I don't know, but just because my mom reported the incident
Starting point is 00:22:48 they had snatched me up. Like it was on... The cops are looking at you. You got a perfect motive. I got the motive, exactly. So it's like they charge me with it, but I end up on send down like seven months. It took you seven months to have the charges dropped or did you actually go to try?
Starting point is 00:23:04 I want to try, but I got a bun at seven months. I got a bun. And this time too, like every time I went to rescue, like I went on to the same flow. It's like the glad they're just on. So it's like this time I got the fine a couple times, seen dudes get stalled. Nah, I really never gonna be normal because there was, the rape was 16, this is the murder was 17. It's like back to back. You feel me.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I couldn't be normal anymore. It was over with it. over with like it's like what I end up being it um the following year I want to try but there's the thing is like do you feel like people treat you different in the streets because they know that you beat that trial and like you know they don't even give a fuck if you did it just the fact that you went that you got the charge and you beat it that probably to a lot of people they look at you like yeah whatever it changes their view yeah yeah for sure because it's like I always had that name like okay my name yet but it's
Starting point is 00:24:01 short for mania So I always had their rep, well, like he's gonna handle his business. But it's just like, when you sit down for one of them, and then you, on top of it, you come home, and on top of coming home, you beat it. Okay, you know about it could burn out, but you beat it, it's like, okay, we might not want to play with him. But you still have people who don't kill.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I ain't gonna just say like, you feel him, because right after that, I got shot five times. Right. So it's like, you got people who don't care about, you know, murder, or you're trying to, you're trying to, top how many murders you got like it's just like the real it's crazy to say that but it's just like that's where to be right it makes me learn to move smarter not harder like okay I don't be the murder I don't be the right I'm shot five time and I don't win feet all before I turned 21 yeah you feel
Starting point is 00:24:51 what I'm saying so it's like I got to be here for a real crazy so how did you get shot five times what happened in that situation oh I'm at wrong play wrong time like I'm at a block part in Pittsburgh and like, it's a man, it's one of my, he wanted my homies. That's the crazy thing about it, but he invited some dudes from out of town. Okay, the neighborhood of this way, Atlanta is gang brain out. So, okay, I'm paro. They crips. So it got on some like, I got on all red, but I'm not like, you feel, I really didn't poll.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I said it's the wrong place at the wrong time because I really didn't even post to go to this block. I probably been going to the script club, but I was just trying to kill time. So somehow I see some dudes walking up on me. So I get the clutching. So I'm like, y'all good. But I can tell they wasn't from Atlanta night. It got on like tall tees, like tees that you won in 2008.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Sounds like 2008 Atlanta, yeah. Yeah, like, what the hell? I'm like, y'all good. So they're like, yeah, we're good. And they keep walking. Just so, I'm gonna have two or three of my homies from the hood and I ain't been answering the phone for them. Like, they cussing me out like, damn, bring you on this?
Starting point is 00:26:08 And I'm like, nah, y'all, chill, watch them. So they get, everybody getting the whipping out. And then this is a crazy part of the story. Like, it was a bottle in the middle of the street. A bottle? Yes, like a bottle. A pickup truck ran over a bottle and it popped. It started a whole shootout.
Starting point is 00:26:27 It started like a whole shootout, bro. Holy shit. That's some bad luck. What, like a soda, like a plastic soda bottle? Yeah, plastic soda bottle. Holy shit. I just found that out. Like, like, when I was down, like, bro, you know nobody?
Starting point is 00:26:39 Then shoot it was, I'm like, what? So I got shot because of a fucking soda bottle. By some random guys you probably never seen again. Exactly. I thought about. I mean, I'm sure you thought about it. They're going to go back to where they're from. Like, what?
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's like, damn. Yeah, my God. I got here five times. Five times where, though? Anywhere really bad? No, not really though Like three in the left lid One in the right leg
Starting point is 00:27:06 I gotta play to my arm right here I guess all things consider getting hit in the leg A bunch of times It's probably best case Yeah, that's the best case Yeah, I was kind of shooting back I got hit in the arm I just threw the gun
Starting point is 00:27:17 It's over with it Right And I couldn't It was over with the fight They knocked the fight at me Wow And so did you got locked up For that shooting or no, okay
Starting point is 00:27:27 No I got caught Whatever a gun soon after like the next year yeah okay and that was the longer bid that you did more recently yeah that was the recent okay when in 2015 came out to down 20 wow so you did five years for just a pistol yes but i thought everybody could just have guns in Atlanta or not now because I was already convicted federal but it's still like that was my first offense like major offense. But it's like Atlanta like I don't know that's why I see why it's so good to be out here. Because like we targeted already. Mm-hmm. You feel what I'm saying? Like it's easier to mind
Starting point is 00:28:06 your business out here. It's way easy to mind your business. Atlanta, if you boy, you're just going to get in the car and just ride around. You know all the streets, you know all, everything going on. Here, you ain't going to be ready to just drive because you got you GPS. You're going to get lost. So you're like, I'm just chill. That's a year from Atlanta. Like from the way I see Atlanta too. Like anytime I've been out there, I've been like, man, Atlanta's like the best vibes. Everybody got the studio sessions. Everybody's so cool. All these great restaurants.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Everybody's so nice. Like, I feel like you've seen a very, very different side of it. Yeah, burnt out. We don't burn it out. We don't burn it out. We don't burn it out. Because you got to think, like, we don't eat everything in that's to be done from any way you think about it. Like, we don't do everything.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So it's just like, what is it to do? It's not really nothing to do. But out here is just like, last time I've seen you, everything close but we still had a good time like we was in now vibe out at duke spot like right feel like just the scenery and it made me just you went it's different era like i don't know what it is what it is different it's different a make me even rap different yeah it made me give me way more to talk about like focus on it i mean when we were at with a duke spot or whatever it's big ass and fucking i'm not going to say what city it is but it's a nice ass city there ain't no tough people
Starting point is 00:29:19 in that city trying to start problems and shit it's like a very different environment exactly It's like, it's cool. And then I eat, like, because I'm considering moving out here, but it's like I gotta get everything. I ain't been out there, I'm like, four months. So it's like, I just went to Miami to visit my family. And I'm just vying with them. So we like, shit, let's go out.
Starting point is 00:29:39 We go to a club. There's so many dudes and then everybody's just stiff, like, it about the whole. But it's twice as men and females, where it's just like, them kind of seniors, like, you're gonna be really wanna be around when you, you know, which is, like, You jeopardize and you feel it.
Starting point is 00:29:56 It's a liability going to start like that. Right. You feel, because it's just, it's automatically hate. It's automatically bad energy. And I go out with energy, so it's like, I don't really want to be around there. Is there like the tension level, from your perspective in Atlanta right now?
Starting point is 00:30:11 There's been a bunch of people who've been killed. Like, obviously, you weren't around for the wild ass one that happened this weekend at the Wendy's and shit. I definitely was around. Oh, you were in Atlanta when that, because you just got here. That's my hood. Oh, really? You live right around there?
Starting point is 00:30:21 My hood. I'm right down the street. I would down, I was right down street in the hood right when it happened like it was so crazy I was getting out of it's it was an unmarked police car I'm trying to beat him over to the right lane you feel so he he every time I speed up he speed up so something just tell him like and it's like kind of my street and twist just get my hound so when I get my hound soon we get out of the essay he hit their lights I'm like oh shit that's an unmark
Starting point is 00:30:48 I hit the right it's it's right in front of the winnish that it happened it's a liquor store. And it was like sister police at a liquor store. Wow. So I'm like, what the hell going on? Like, what? So I go down to the hood and put it out on the gang, like, but it's a lot of police calls. Because they be busing, like, they busts, and they busts and shit. So I, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:07 it just be like what we do. Like, if you get the car, hey, bro, get on point. We just see any police riding this way or this way. So I tell them, we end up getting the car, like, bro died. You feel they killed. The video, get the service and stuff like that. But
Starting point is 00:31:23 it was one of my big homeless birthday so we end up still just going now we can go out that night we went out of the next night but they had the exit blocked off so I had to take the opposite way of the hood and go around through the opposite from your perspective how fucked up is the policing
Starting point is 00:31:41 in somewhere like Atlanta like in terms of how much like you've been in and out of prison a whole bunch of times and shit but do you feel like there is just something fundamentally wrong with the way that the police system interacts with the community Um, yes, for the most part, but I don't, I, I, like, it's not all on, you feel, I can't say it. It's not all on. Atlanta is such a black city, too, then I'm sure you got a lot of black cops and stuff who grew up in these areas and kind of.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah, who you, like, who have respect or know you or just know your, what you came from. So it's like, man, I ain't going to be the one to cause you thought away. That's like, I didn't got spirit. Like, I just had Atlanta and somebody hit me. A black cop came, like, they tried to, the other dude who hit me trying to make it seem like, well, my fault. I'm part of we driving with the headlines. So he's like, man, well, y'all just let insurance deal with it. So the other dudes steady pushing, trying to proceed with just me pay for it.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So he went to watch the camera and the cop kind of spared me. Like, man, just going, y'all good. You feel it? So it's like, it'll be stuff like that go on, but it'll be, you don't get that type of stuff don't get shed a light on. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like all you see is racism. or stuff like that because they'll wish on a bigger platform.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Like, it's just, it's like, it's unfortunate. I don't really know, like, that man doesn't deserve to die because he was in the winter's drive-through sleep. Yeah, and it's like, I watched the video a couple times. I didn't really, like, fully understand until I've seen the video a few times, but it's just, like, completely inexcusable. Like, as much as the guy was wrestling with him, the way he shot the taser at him and shit, that's all bad,
Starting point is 00:33:18 but by the time he actually got shot, he's fully sprinting away from them. He's like 10 fucking full leaps away from this. So it's just like, you're going to shoot. Because, okay, y'all wrestling and tussling or whatever. But that's what backup or get on the radio for, if you knew, like, it ain't know where to go. You got to go back around the winters. It would be a better situation.
Starting point is 00:33:42 His car is right there. Like, you got the information on the car. You're going to be able to figure out who he is. It's a better situation that this guy's on the run and you find him hiding in somebody's backyard. Right. then that he dies. Yeah. On camera,
Starting point is 00:33:54 and the Wendy's and the whole fucking city is enraged, you know? I mean, they're just, like, they're walking people up, man, they don't lie, like,
Starting point is 00:34:01 before I left, they didn't have shot at the police. They burnt their winters down. They blew up a police car. Like, it's just so just, that way, it's like,
Starting point is 00:34:12 it's time to go. Yeah. You feel? I'm like, I was absolutely, and I had March, like, the day before all that happened.
Starting point is 00:34:19 The morning that they happened, I had March. with my my homie Batchez a club mode I had March we cleaned up the West End mile and we walked I walked a couple blocks and I didn't just do everything
Starting point is 00:34:30 but I just wanted to show the support you feel it but I just know like when I I learned to go with my my gut feeling my intuition like if I feel something it's time to leave well that's what they always say too is that if you stay
Starting point is 00:34:45 in your hometown I mean your hometown is where the people who knew you since you were young or whatever are more inclined to do something to do you feel like by coming out to LA that that might just be a way for you to just kind of start over and just avoid any kind of shit like that yeah because i want a clean slate and it's like i'm on this right now but that don't mean anybody else on this i ain't on a gangster in the street one in the club all day and fine and i don't know it so me not being on that i would rather eliminate myself for somebody else try to eliminate me you get what i'm saying so it's like just because i'm
Starting point is 00:35:17 on something different don't mean that they don't they going to they're going to you don't something different. Whoever I done did something to or whoever been hanged front of the start or you feel like the same people was welcome home and then welcome home and bro welcome home I miss you or this and it it's like now that they're seeing my career it's prosperous when I'm going up it's like I see the hate like when I see them it don't be genuine anymore because you can't take them with you exactly I'm like man why you brother then take me out I can't take you out I'm got to get my feet wet first a lot of people don't understand it you feel
Starting point is 00:35:50 So, you know, you got the way, it's like this is what I asked for, so it's like sometimes get overwhelming, but I take the good with the bed. So this most recent time when you got out, Thug really gave you $200,000 right when you got out? For sure. What was that like? I never had $200,000. It was never my first time, so you got to know how they felt like.
Starting point is 00:36:08 In cash? Yeah, I'm still. I've definitely had never seen $200K in cash. Yeah. He gave to him and it was like, I just, it was an amazing feeling like. Because you got to understand when I left, he was getting like sisters. show. So he's at the point now where he can go get a meeting for a show. You feel me? And I didn't count his pack, but it's just like he's way bigger. And he used to be telling me, like,
Starting point is 00:36:30 he just told him yesterday, started car shotgun, bro. I've been told you, he's about going to a Rose restaurant. So he's like, he told me when I was in jail to start a car shopping, but he just told me, like, I don't know, like, you feel, but I got a call, call away shit. Like, I don't know, like, I'm still just figuring it out. I'm taking the day at the time. Yeah, because I I mean, it's one thing for Thug to like embrace you, put you on his album, et cetera, but then for you to get locked up for five years, come out and for him to still be embracing you on that level. I mean, that's like a different type of loyalty and love, especially with someone like him is like he can make 10 new friends tomorrow. He don't got to be thinking about something for five years ago.
Starting point is 00:37:07 And that's just, that's how am I take care of life. It's like, I knew he was going to be that, but he did, just everything right. Like, you want to expect a person who dead business just to start what he's doing and just make sure I'm straight. Like every time I'm there, every time I call, he's there. Like, you feel me? I knew he was going to be there, though. I never doubted that. For him just to still be in tune and talking to lawyers and just doing all that,
Starting point is 00:37:31 it's just like, it showed me like, like, that's a real one. Like, it's rare, you feel me. It'll be people take off and be famous, and they, right-hand man, from the sandbars. I don't hear from him or ain't even sending him a hundred. So it's like, it made me have so much more respect for him. Yeah, that's honestly pretty amazing. So, yeah, in terms of one thing that we've seen that's been pretty funny over the past couple months since you got out is this whole situation that played out with Soss Walker coming at the YSL camp on Instagram and stuff. And that was wild for us to perceive you involved in that altercation because, I mean, you've been through all these real-out situations.
Starting point is 00:38:10 You got locked up, all this kind of stuff. But it's all shit that just happened in streets. It's not some shit that played out on Instagram. So it was kind of wild to see you hopping on Instagram and actually. like having words for somebody like that. We haven't seen that side of your personality yet, really. Yeah, because it's like, he said fight. So I go and he's going to say fight.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Now he said, shoot, then I probably just flew with this. Like, to keep you real like, I ain't like, bro, we can fight, bro. Like, you keep coming in here. You're like, it's like more so you coming in him. You want to clap. So fight me. Bad ass.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Fight me. Let's like see what you really want to do. And he didn't respond because I know them. I just did time in Texas. You know what I'm saying? And so it's like, I know all these people, like, you feel, I'm like, Dallas Tits, I did time in Beaumont, so it's more Tits. I'm the only person from Atlanta and on the county.
Starting point is 00:38:58 So I'm pretty sure, like, he done did their homework, you know, you feel him, like, I don't beat up one of his little buddies, or, you feel him, what I'm saying, like, he knows, you know, you know, he'll call or they call him. What's up, yeah? Oh, now, he's official. So it's like, but when it comes to them, brother, like, I got love for Tits, I got love for, like, Houston and dad. I got love for everyone, but just when you reaching,
Starting point is 00:39:23 the other than I got to say, that's kick your feedback, man. And that's how my lord's here. You didn't, what I'm saying? Like, like I said, like, if it's, he would have said in some gangster shit, then I'm like, good. Right, is that how you feel? Is that if, like, if Thug really have a problem with somebody or whatever, then, like, do you look at yourself as the one who is kind of, like,
Starting point is 00:39:44 lined up, like, you should be the one dealing with? with the situation or? I've always been the one to deal with the situation. That's the feeling I get, but you're starting to get to the point where you can't really be that guy. Yeah, yeah, so it's like still a transition. So it's like, I had to catch myself like, tip called, meat called.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Man, tell, yeah, true, I'm going to check out of it. But you know, the OG, they will check in. Like, they're going to tell him when I'm wrong. And I'm not one of them youngers who were like, I don't hear this shit, man, I can't hear this shit, man. I understand my screener, so when I wrong, I analyzed him like, damn, I did react wrong. Next time I know how to react.
Starting point is 00:40:17 better way. You've been in and out of prison so much throughout your life. Is there a part of your brain that just feels like you're going to go back? Oh, no, I ain't going back. But see, like, I've been in and out, but it's like, there was the first bid. So it was two weeks, six months, five years. And it was like, you feel? But now it's like, like, then it was more so I was forced to, but I ain't,
Starting point is 00:40:41 it went like, I went in the street by choice. I was forced to me in the street. You feel like, I was forced. Now it's like, if I don't want to pull up to the hood, I ain't got to pull up to the hood. I can stay in my penthouse, like, or I can fly out here, or I can just, you feel, it's more, more relaxing because I have some money, I have money behind him, I have a label. Like, I have a team now. So it's just like, I ain't feeling missed this or just when it's starting or like, you feel like it's too much involved. But is there a part of you that feels so comfortable and so sort of inspired by being in the streets?
Starting point is 00:41:18 that you just sort of like find yourself drawn back to that element because it's definitely rappers that I could think of who 1,000% should just be in the crib and you just will see some video and realize like man that dude is just back on the block what the fuck is he doing over there yeah yeah like okay being in front of the streets it's just like today or tomorrow it's always in your head you can I always doubt will go to jail they're just in your head but it's like like if I'm thinking some negative any time I just rebuke it like that's a like my prayer and it's a cleanse me. With on another note, like, it's like you're a product, your environment, so it's like, you
Starting point is 00:41:59 almost have to pull back up to the hood just to show Lord. Because these be these same people who help you get out of there or bring you down. So it's like, it's like down there lose, you feel, I'm like you just got to show it to them though. You feel like I'm like, when I just went to Miami, we're driving. just because I want to take a couple of dudes from them so they get their experience. Yeah, it cost me a little bit more money if I would have went one car, one car, but I still want to show people like this, this, this, this the way I'm living and this, which you can
Starting point is 00:42:33 be living like too. Just like you said, your homie, like, he went to a couple parties and rubbed shows with the right people and now he know like what the business is here. So I showed them and the ones who missed out because I was trying to get a rental car for them. The ones who missed out, they were watching on Instagram. Like how long y'all gonna be down there, man? We're trying to come? We go on that? Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:42:52 No, I mean, that's an amazing feeling. Like, I got a friend Lavelle who I brought him with me on a trip. And I realized, like, at one point, like, he's just standing next to this, like, we were about the beach or whatever. And he's just standing at the beach so fucking happy. Right. And I realize, I'm like, man, this dude has been looking at the same beach his whole life. Like, he grew up in Long Beach or whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:11 But he's, it's a completely new thing for him to be looking at this shit for the first time. And I'm like, wow, like, I 1,000 percent take this. for granted. Yeah. But for him, this is exciting as fuck. That's how it was me. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Because I, like, you understand, I've been to Caled at a lot of times, but I have never got to actually drive around and stay in my own house. It's always been like, I'm with, brother. Whatever brother need,
Starting point is 00:43:35 I'm here for him. And then when he, it's time, he'll go to sleep. And then I can go do what I want to do. You feel? But it's still like, I got to make sure he's great.
Starting point is 00:43:44 So it's like, now I have my situation when it's about me. Like, I just had a house in a house. Hills. My dude had this. He got his house then thug got this. I didn't have to go get a house, but I wanted my own experience. I shot the videos and a couple of videos. But every morning I wake up and go just sit on the chair and just look like it's pool right there. Just just get that feeling like damn. Like I ain't taking this for granted never again. That's what makes me know I'm not going to jail because I don't take nothing for granted. I don't like when I was locked up. I miss walking through the grocery store. I miss plumbing gas and I hate playing gas. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like I it's it's too much if I'm like you can't take your life for granted. So you you got out and then the coronavirus hits like a month later?
Starting point is 00:44:30 Yeah. I got out to chair itself. Thank God. Thank God I got out man. That's crazy. Yeah. But it's like I still have soldiers in there so it's like I just tell them, you know, try to keep them with a care pack. I do as much as I can. I actually got out these things. them 11. I got the feds. I had an open charge. And I got out January of something. I buttoned out.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Okay. So are you on probation and shit? You got to be real careful how you're moving around? So I don't do no drugs. I don't care of no guns. Yeah. It's just got to be mindful how you move, which is kind of easy because it's always in the back of your head.
Starting point is 00:45:15 I don't want to go back. I'm not going to go back because I'm not going to go back because I refused not to smoke and I have pissed dirty. It's a little bullshit. So is that hard to decide not to smoke? Nah, because I wasn't smoking for the five years. Oh, right. Now, if it was the other way around in here, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:31 But I could be around, I like to smear it. I just, I'm around it, I'm smitten. But is that like, wait, so how many years of probation you are? A couple years before you could hit the blunt? Three. Three years. It's like, I got a cool Pio. Shout out Dennis Tudder.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I got a cool pill. Amis weight. So it's like he's a celebrity pill. So he understands everything. Now he still don't let me do drugs, but he understands everything. So like he gave me my travel permit or like he just knows. But there's a lot of people like who I've heard that they got locked up. And I thought, oh, like that might actually be kind of good for them because they're still fucked up on drugs. Or they're going to go to jail and they're going to at least be able to get off of it for a year or two.
Starting point is 00:46:15 But then I find out like, oh, no, they definitely. are getting drugs in jail too. Definitely is. It's a lot of drug in jail. And they're more dangerous than the one on the street. Yeah. It's just because it's like, it's so boring, you're gonna take the doses up.
Starting point is 00:46:30 You're gonna overdo it. If you're in that cause of people to overdose. Like, I've seen a lot of people on synthetic weed, K2. Oh, no. They got that in there? Yes. Fuck. Man, I see any person.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Dive off. Where was, like, right, oh, that would have sit in there. I seen a person dive off. To the head? Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I see, like, four people die out for it. Like, I've seen so much shit. Like, people get stabbed, like, man. The K2 shit is crazy. What? The K2 is, because you smell them smoking it in Skid Row with all the homeless people downtown? Yeah. You'll smell it and you'd be like, man, they've got some weird smelling weed out here.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And then you realize. Yeah. That shit. That shit causes people do crazy things. Yeah. And it's like, I don't see any person. The Mexican started riot. Now he didn't get the K2, like, he wanted to stay out.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Wow, really? Yeah. And the whole ride part of the character, yeah. Damn, we gotta get, we gotta make sure all these kids out here don't start smoking K2. Yeah, stay away from K2, you don't kids. It's not, trust me, I know. There's like a lot of people Googling it right now, like, man, what the fuck is that? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But, yo, it's hard for you to avoid some of the drama, though, right? Because there was a shooting at the Fox 5 video shoot the other day? Yeah, I wasn't down in Miami. Oh, you weren't actually there for that. Right before I went to Miami, it was like, like, man, so many shootouts in one week. I was at one on. I wasn't shooting in a way.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I was just at one. Like, it'd be the wrong place at the wrong time. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like more so. And why I told you, I know when to lead. If it's too much going on, it's time to go, man. It was a big shootout. Like anything cut out.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Yeah. Definitely. So in terms of how you view your career right now, like what are the main things that you're working on? Like, are you just doing individual? videos are you thinking of like your big mixtape that you got planned or what is the idea it's so different right now because like when I left it was mistakes so now it's albums and EP's LPs and like screams so it was just like for I live and I had that freedom while I just put some about their workout and then you get show money and then film so okay now with the well I don't even know
Starting point is 00:48:41 if it's still around they're saying yeah the deaths are going up and then the film's okay now with the epidemic well it's still around they're saying yeah the deaths are going up big time right now okay see now with the coronas and and with everything else going on it's like and me just signing to 300 or i sell records i i have to get to a point where i got my leverage and i get hot enough to drop what i want to drop you know what i'm saying now i could drop what i want to drop but it's like the strategy you feel what i have to more so understand the strategy because they like got me in full control of what i'm doing so Like, I'm actually dropping the video tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:49:20 then I'm gonna come back and drop. Like, every day this, for this month, I'm gonna drop a video every week. You feel? I'm gonna drop one video a week for this month. Then this month, I'm gonna do it every two weeks. You feel? So then by that time, I should have been on,
Starting point is 00:49:34 got hot enough where I could drop a body of music that catch. Which I already had a music stat, though. That's the craziest part about it. Like, I got out and I was like fully committed. So in four months, now like 270. four songs, something like that. Wow. So I'm definitely motivated and dedicated to that,
Starting point is 00:49:52 but it's like I have to learn what my fans have it here for, like what they want to hear. Like, okay, someone I want to hear the gangster shit or someone I want to hear the drip and the waves. Someone I want to hear, you feel like, just the real talk, like what I went through, the pain, the struggle. So it's like, someone I want to hear me harmonizing.
Starting point is 00:50:13 You feel, so it's like the melody. So it's like me just, learning with everyone everybody on here so I can have every angle on their tape or their project to reach every crowd. Definitely. That's fine. Yeah, man. It's just good to hear that everything's going so well for you and especially because right now it feels
Starting point is 00:50:32 like there's a lot of, not a lot, but like a bunch of different people who have sort of come from that YSL world that are like doing very, very well for themselves right now and it's just very like, it's good seeing that that positive fucking outlook for the whole can't now for show and it's just like we got to understand like we have members who are wise sell who is not signed to why I said so say for instance like oozy that's my dog like me and oozer been rackin like for wait before he even made it oh really he was around like every day you feel and gunner soon gun was around every day before he even just I was always all the way
Starting point is 00:51:09 wise yeah right so it's just like to see their success and so short period of time It's like that number one albums and they're the hottest in the rare light. Okay. And like it could be ready. It's easy. I'm just getting a game. Like I can just drop a song with all them. I don't want it like that.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I ain't that type of person. I want to work for mine. I want to actually ground for mine. So when you do, when I do make it, it feel way down. You can kind of see the work ethic of the whole crew sort of like because we've always said that about thought that he just makes like an unbelievable amount of music. He just be in the studio for insane amounts of time. And like you see that kind of like seep through to the rest of the crew because when I was there the other day, there's like another artist.
Starting point is 00:51:54 I think it was L.A. is his name. And he was working with with fucking Duke. And Duke, they were just like, yeah, like we've just been working with Duke. We made like 20, 30 songs like in the past couple days. Yeah, shout out of L.A. Yeah, I was like, being around in the studio and just seeing you're going to pick up that work. Just like if you've been around, grew up. You've been around him once too?
Starting point is 00:52:20 For sure. Oh, okay. Signed to go up. Right. Yeah. So it's like. Oh, so you were around back then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Oh, okay. I had my own situation where I had to do was up the street. So it'd be like back and forth for like, you feel. Even a long way. Like. A long way. Yeah. Like, shout a long way.
Starting point is 00:52:35 I'm saying. But we were just like, like, like on a long way, spot on the hill. Like in, we just called the library, but it about to be getting. that way we still be just working. But I wasn't really rapping in, but it's just there work, anything that I seen them going and make five, six songs and two hours. God, damn.
Starting point is 00:52:57 And they are good body of work. Like, it's not like, and they probably, all on probably when hits, but all of them, stuff you grab to, stuff they're going to play in the club, stuff that they're going to get you that look, what you want. Mm-hmm. Definitely. Well, hey, man, it's dope to see you doing good,

Starting point is 00:54:12 But now, yeah, I whip you every now and then. You feel? Right. I whip every night. and then and for a real friend like it keep me out of cigarettes which that's way worse to me that's your main vice that you've been dealing with you're smoking in prison a lot yeah yeah yeah man it's a prison it's two hundred dollars for a five a five uh the five dollar box mm it's too on that two hundred dollars for a pack

So it's new people who coming in who don't heard and then I'm not the type
Starting point is 00:55:58 that just want attention especially now so it's like because when you get in and now then they were everybody trying to tell on you and then you're really going to go to the hole that's how I always went to the hole so I told is the whole like infinitely worse than just being a regular population? Yes. It's like 23 and one. You only come out one hour a day. Right.
