Yes, sir, we are back with another one. And before I introduce, our very, very special guys like I introduce this fucking fat fuck, ugly piece of. Oh, we have to believe all of this mouth all right. Let's start again. Ha ha ha. And before we do it, going in. That fool has no respect for the ads that were going to be ran, you know what I?

Yeah, yeah. He doesn't care about the money. He doesn't even should even be here. Just replace him with me. He's supposed to help me with the drummer one, but he was too busy filming somewhere in on 30 or something, I think. And then to the left of us, we got white. B. How you doing, my guy?

What's up, G. How are you doing? Good. Right here living, brother. How's the drive? That was cool. Came from the I.E. today, so it was cool.

It wasn't too bad. Nah, that shit is bad. It wasn't bad, though. It wasn't too much traffic, so it was good. That was cool. I left early. I don't like that drive because the 10 never works. Get the fast track, brother.

I brought the 2-10. Oh, you came through the 2-10. Okay. It was a 2-10. But the 10 is just like, they need to figure out from the city of Rosemeet all the way to to, like, Baldwin Park or nah, I'm going to go a little further. like to West Covina, even a little further. Like, shit never works.

Like, what's going on over there? What's with the freeways over there, might be? Are you driving alone? I don't know. Yeah, get the carpool. No, that shut down, too. You're fucked. Nah.

Yes, it is. You just went on a bad day, my G. Maybe a bad time. I go out over there a lot. Timing is everything. Yeah, it was pretty smooth today. We didn't go through no traffic and shit. What city are you from?

I'm from West Covina. How was it growing up in West Covina? It was cool. Shit. So pretty much, I'm from the SGV, you know, I grew up around the whole fucking SGV. San Gabriel Valley. Yeah, yes. We moved around a lot, dysfunctional family, you know.

I was in Naï for a bit, 805. I went to Mexico for a few years. Oh, wow. Where did you stay in Mexico? I was in Maniadero, Ensenada. Oh, so you were in the trenches in Mexico. It was grimy down there. Yeah, he was not at the Bufidora.

Actually, it's not too far from the Bufado. What is that? What? It's like Hong Kong? No, it's just like a little... You're really serious? It's like an outdoor swam meat or something shit, no? It's cool.

It's just like a little blowhole type of show. Okay, okay. So it's kind of like the alleys for Ensenada. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And then you were moving around because parents weren't together, they beefed it. In the beginning, it was... They were together and shit, but then, yeah, they separated, so we moved around a lot, but... But all the homies on my family and, you know, my heart's in West Covina, so...

Okay. Shout out to Triple OG smile. alone in the building. Yes, sir. And then did you usually stick around with mom or what pops? It was both. Well, actually, look, so my mom's fucking in the beginning, like she was with us and shit, and then she fucking got tired of the bullshit because my boys were out here running the muck

and shit. Okay. She pretty much wanted to leave to Georgia. So when she wanted to leave to Georgia, she wanted to take me with her. And I was like 15, 16, and I was like, fuck that. I'm gonna stay. Yeah, Georgia's far from West Covina. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. So I didn't go. She bought a ticket for me and everything. And she ended up leaving without me. So I stood. And I fucking stole my brothers. But these foods couldn't really handle me at the time. So they sent me to Mexico. What's kind of like when you're, okay, so they were fucking up and you were fucking up. They're like, we want to fuck up alone and I have to worry about this. Pretty much. So let's send him to a different country and let's keep fucking up ourselves. Pretty much. But do you guys blame your mom at all? No, not, not. Not at all?

No, I don't blame my mom. Because she always, she was always there. She helped me down no matter what, but I grew up alone and shit. I grew up with my brothers and my primas and shit like that. And then where's pops around this time? He was in Mexico. He was in Mexico. Oh, so you went with pops? Yeah, I went with pop.

Okay. But like, see me, like, I'm, my mom's my world. And I don't know how I would feel like if she just got up and left. And I was like, she didn't get up and leave. No, but no. Not get up and left. But at some point you were like, well, damn, you should have just stood here and stayed here with us. But I understand why it could be difficult when.

You have multiple of your kids just fucking running amuck and there's kind of like no control if you're going to do what you do. Why did you choose up to stay? I was just on that, fuck that. Didn't want to hear of all. Yeah, George is far, though. I'm not, fuck that.

I'm cool, you know, I'm staying here. So, yeah, I just didn't go. But, yeah, she tried to take me, though. Yeah, she did it. She tried to, you know. Which is dope. Yeah, she tried to show me a different life and shit, but I stood here and I was like, I'm cool.

And then when you went to Ensenada was there like a, Was there kind of like, did you feel some type of way about your brothers for sending you with your dad? No, because it really wasn't done like that. It was just kind of like, fuck. Because they thought I was going to leave. To Georgia. Yeah, she had a ticket for me and everything.

And then at some point you were convinced. At the airport, I was like, nah, I'm not going. Oh, okay, okay. Run me through this day, please. Run me through this day. She did not get her money back for that ticket. Yeah, no. No credit.

So my brother, Taz, he took us to the airport and shit. And, um. Ali X? Yeah, she was just like, what's up? you ready and I was like no I'm not going like I'm not going like I'm chilling she was here yeah yeah we were gonna fly oh okay I feel like when you packed everything was back yeah but I didn't go yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah she laughed and um I stood on my and my brother was just like what the fuck what am I gonna do with this food you know so ready to take her myself yeah type shit his older brother

taz by the way super feed my home yeah looks just like oh he ain't here no more but looks just like the well he looks like them yeah yeah they all looking like yeah but but see see but I can understand why, like, because I'm pretty sure at some point she convinced you. Like, me, no. She's like, me, oh, we're going to have a better live. It's going to be a little calmer. You don't got to deal with certain shit. And you're like, okay, fuck it.

I'm just going to go if I'm going to try it out. No, I'm, I didn't agree. I kind of told her off top, like, Mom, I'm not going to go. And she's like, no, if I'm going to say, you're not going to go with you. And then she thought the deal breaker was going to be just getting her ticket. Yeah, and taking me to the airport. And taking me to the airport. He's going to come.

Yeah, she was crying and all that shit. It was fucked up. It was a little time of it. No, I could only imagine me. That's a fucked up situation where you're like, that's what kind of comes with the environment that people grow up and when they grew up in the streets where like, for it only so much your parents could do in reality, right?

Like, there's only so much. I'm pretty sure your mom was like. She did a lot, dog. Yeah, yeah. She did a lot and she went through a lot. My brother was fucking in and out of junk shit. So it was just, it was breaking her down. And I felt like she just wanted to run away and shit.

And then you're the baby? Yeah, I'm the youngest one. Oh, so she was, you were her last hole, like, fool. Come to Georgia, motherfucker. And you were like, I'm just go back to West Covina and kick it at the mall. Pretty much. What a dick. Damn, that is crazy.

And at the moment, and then when you moved to Insanada, you moved there, like, you go to school there? No, I didn't go to school. My dad, he owned a liquor store, so I worked at the liquor store. Okay, that's cool. Yeah, yeah. It was cool. It was cool, too. Like, one thing I can say about Mexico, fool, is that I learned what real property is over there. Yeah, real for real shit, fool.

And I learned how to really, like, home. hustle over there. And then like, and get your money and like real shit. When I came back, because I will come back and visit, these foods would always pick me up. So my brothers were like, they were still tapped in with me. They were like, oh, fool, we're going to swoop you up, bring you back over here. They kept like promising me that, but I was just like, fuck it on trip.

We're like, whenever it's, you guys are good, I'll go back. But I will come visit and shit. And then when they finally did bring me back, I was like on a whole other fucking, you're like, you have good over here. Pretty much. And yeah, you know, it was different, fool, for sure. I was like 16, 15. When I left to Mexico.

When you left to Mexico. And I was there for like three years. And you were there for three years, but you were obviously back and forth. Back and forth, for sure. Going back and forth, which is a vibe. Because I could only be like, yes. And then everything's cheaper over there. Well, not only yet.

Think about this. The line y'all was different. Everything was different at that time. It's not as fucked up as it is now, too. Oh, yeah. And now is a shit show when you're trying to come back or cross back and shit like that. I mean, I feel like that shit ain't changed. I feel like that.

It was a sick-ass way back then, too. It was like that. With your pop star out there? Nah, he's out here now. Oh, he's out here now. So your own family was just kind of maneuvering around and stuff like that. Yeah, pretty much. While my dad got his own little family going on over that shit.

And then when you went over there, how often would you come back to the SGV back and I would come back and forth a few times and shit? Like a year and stuff like that? No, I would come back like two or three times a year and shit? And then would you kick it out there in Ensenada? Yeah, like my boy, like I had homies out there, everything. Super close homies. Yeah, like, because you were young.

It was crazy. Yeah. Like I have a song for where it's called Mexico and I talk. and I talk about it and I have one of my good homies out there. He passed away already, but he was one of my boys out there that kind of like showed me the ropes out there and shit. And which is crazy because if you think about it, Ensenada is only, what, three hours? Yeah.

Four. Yeah. So it's not that far. Yeah. If it's not like Georgia would have been a whole different world for you. I got a prima out there. That's a five hours. My prima got raised in Georgia and you could tell.

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's so, and then you moved to kind of, you would say the motherland for three years. So you're kind of more accustomed. Like, when you're out there, you know how to maneuver and like T.J. and stuff like that because of the couple years you lived out there, right? Yeah, yeah. Like if we go to, well, TJ, I don't really go to Tjada, but if we go to like Ensenada, I'll

I'll show you all the spots. She? Yeah. Yeah. So motherfuckin need to start exploring a lot of everything. Yeah, yeah. Like, Maniado is like a little city in Ensenada. So it's kind of like 15, 20 minutes from Insenada.

And then, and then it's like Tombe's like Tombe's where like everybody knows everybody? Yeah, it's real small. Okay, real small. Yeah, yeah, real small. It's a little Pueblo and shit. Yeah, everybody knows each other right there. And was school in option or your dad was just like, it's better. I was already, I mean, I was 16.

I was just for what? You know? I just started working. I wanted to make some money. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I was like, but also the, Mexico and money in Mexico is not too much. It's not.

Fuck, no, but I think the money you make in Mexico, I mean, it's really, I mean, I don't think it's enough, but I mean, it's enough for what it is. It's enough. It's enough. It ain't like minimum wage right here, but they're still charging us like you need to make double to live here, you know? Yeah, okay. Yeah, I get what you're saying.

They go based off what you're making at the moment. Yeah, yeah. It's different from over here. You ain't making no fucking a rack of fucking week over there. And then... I mean, you could. I mean, you could. Yeah, but if you could, it's a dangerous line to cross, brother.

That's so funny. And then being out there, like, obviously you said, like, even though it's only three hours away, there's a whole different world. You were saying, like, poverty and, like, the way people make money and your friends. But what's, like, what was, like, the biggest thing that, like, was like, oh, my God, I wish we had this in West Covina, or I wish we could do this in the state. I think it's just, honestly, I think it's just knowing, like, what real property is, food, because over there it's real bad, fool.

Like, motherfuckers are really struggling, dog. They shower, you shower over there. You gotta heat up your water, dog. You know what I'm saying? Like, over here, food is different, dog. Like, I just really, like, got to see what, being broke is, what it really is. Being real broke. Yeah, being real broke.

Like, shitty broke. struggle, you know, like, and, yeah, so I brought that shit over here. Like, man, fuck that. This is easy money over here. And when you move back and you would hear like homies or friends or girlfriends complain about the little shit, you'd be like, shut the fuck up. Type shit. Like, bro, you know what the fuck is going on?

Straight up. Not because I have a friend that came from Osavadur back in high school. And I remember one of the hummies was complaining about something. And you could tell like it was bugging him that he was complaining. Yeah. He's like, fool, you go to the bathroom right now. You're in school for free. He's like, bro, you eat three meals a day.

Like in high school, if you eat breakfast and the lunch, you're good for the rest of the day in reality. Yeah. He's like, over there, we do. We won. And that's a tortilla with fucking frioles and queso fresco type of shit. Yeah. Yeah, shit. And then it's okay.

That was between the age of 15, 16. Mom's back already. I was there from 16 to like 19. To like 19. Type shit, yeah. And then mom came back within that time? No. I don't know.

She stood out there for like 10 of. 11 years. Oh, yeah, Georgia. I came back and I moved in with my, because that's when my brothers ended up. So when you got the house, that's when moms moved in? No, no, no, that was a little, that's a little bit. That's a little bit of it. That's kind of recent. But then when your brothers kind of got settled in a little more, you moved back to

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they hit me up. Like, well, at that time, they were in Pomona. Pomona. Yeah, so they were like, hey, fool fucking, we're good. We got a big-ass spot come through, you know. And you were like, oh yeah, gone. Let's roll.

Let's get out of it. here. My loan was already fully activated. Yeah, yeah, but I was with Taz at the time. And then we got a little apartment after that. And then that's where Smolon was right there. Before we move on to you being fooling in America, because that's where it sounds like we're going.

Give us your favorite story about being in the... That's facts. Mexico? In the fucking poverty. In the poverty. Tell us some crazy shit. What's the crazy shit you saw over there? He fucked the gang of hookers over there.

We're going to get to that. That's next. That's next. Let's talk about the violence. Then the... No. Man, honestly, off top. Of top, I can't really recall anything right now.

But like I said, I just really learned the hustle over there. That's one thing I did learn is making money and shit. Which is probably the most, which is why, out of a lot of people that I've seen kind of like in the Mexican arising of rap and like Latino and just people kind of coming from, like, as you could say, the Chicano background and stuff like that, I can see that you're one of the more successful when it comes to knowing how to market and stuff like that. And obviously, you probably learned that from over there. I thought you weren't learning marketing, but you were learning how to hustle and, like, expand. Well, yeah, I worked at a liquor store.

Yeah. So I'm like socially talking to people non-stom. What I'm saying? Crazy motherfuckers. And that's good. Social skills are probably one of the best things you can have as a music artist or rapper and entertainer when it comes to being able to have conversations. Because I've sat with rappers and I'm like, damn, this was so awkward. Yeah, yeah.

And you're like, and then you're like, yeah, it's cool, dog. I mean, yeah, you feel me? Yeah. The hood. I'm like, okay. But whatever. You know what I mean? Like, I'm pretty sure a lot of people like, now they're gonna, you know, now there's

a backstory to you. Like, okay. I never really do interviews. Yeah, okay, yeah, let's talk about it. So then, and then when you move back, 100% back to the stage, rap started right away? Well, my brothers were, yeah, yeah, my brothers were rapping already and shit. Oh, done. For the two of the one that I just met right now.

Well, one of them. One of them. One of them was rapping. Oh, they were doing their own thing. They were already like- In the Chicano, in the Chicano music? Yeah. Okay, and then? Well, fucking, so my brothers, they were doing their music shit.

And I was just like the little homie, you know what I'm saying? Like rolling with them and shit. So I would do- The tanga. I would do shows with these foods and I would fucking like sell CDs for them and shit at the car shows and shit. The real hustle. And low-key, I found in love with that shit.

I was like, man, this is cool, you know, like just networking and fucking, you know, whatever, doing my thing and shit. So I was selling CDs and then they were a part of a label. and I remember getting at the homie the main dude from the label What label is this? It was called a Maglock, Maglock Records. This is like fucking 20 years ago.

Oh, shizzling. Yeah, that was fucking two. The dude that they were signed to is like a popular person at that instance. Well, anyway, so when that happened, I got at that homie, like, hey, what's on my boy? Like, I'm trying to fucking do my thing and shit.

What's so with my project? Like, how can I get some going and shit? He was just like, oh, I ain't got time for that right now. you're going to have to do your... Oh, he like... But did he sign you off, like, respectfully? No, he did it respectfully, but it was kind of... I wasn't ever signed, you know what I'm saying?

I wasn't a part of the label. You were just there, though. You know what I'm saying? I'm sorry. Did you better give me a deal. Like straight up, you know? And... But at the time, I was like, like, fuck it.

Like, I could do this shit on my own, you know? So he was just like, nah, it's cool. I just do you. So I was like, fuck it. So I did me. I linked up with one of my boys from San Ana, which is a lyrical. And he had a... plug with some dude out there that would pretty much print up a thousand CDs for you and

give you posters. And all you gotta do is deliver the project, right? But you gotta pay for your beats, you gotta do all the everything. Yeah, yeah. But at that time, I didn't give a fuck, you know? I was like, shit, let's do it. So I started slang. I would buy CDs from other artists.

I would have fucking CDs from everybody, done. And I was sallying my CDs and I would go book studio time and I would record. And until I got my first little project done, I turned it in. He gave me my thousand copies and I went out and just did my thing. I did that for like three years for like three different projects. And then I was able to start printing on my own shit once I got my plugs and all that. And then when was the, and this was around the early 2000s? This was, well, my first project came out in like 2008.

208, okay. But I was on my brother's album which was in 2006. 2006. Yeah. How much money do you make up that? Nah. Why you played out of me like that, huh? Yeah, yeah.

Hey, but you know, that was a cool, cool experience too. And then, and then obviously it's dope seeing like, like, fuck it only imagine. Like somebody that you kind of looked up to, somebody that is your older brother. Older brothers. Two brothers. Two brothers. They go by the name of Sick, too sick. Shout out there, man.

And then imagine them doing their thing and you're right there just watching them, like, that's hell of fucking inspirational. Like, motherfucker. Like, and then they allow you to be in their project? Yeah, I was like, I was like on fucking shit. shit, like seven, eight songs. Then did the label they were getting mad at them? Like, hey, you can't... No, no, I keep putting your little brother in these projects.

Nah, they showed me love. Like, it was cool. It was love, but it just when they came down to my solo project, it was kind of like, oh, we ain't really got time for that right now, you know? And the thing is, too, don't forget that these guys don't sound like traditional. No, they're like lyricists. Yeah, these were rapping, rapping. They don't sound fucking the slow pace, you know, the, you know the vibes.

Yeah, the kind of more, um... Never mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little more, a little more mellow one. To me, we just come from real hip hop and we just rap and we represented our people. We're Chicano rap. I don't knock that shit. But you're just more into the lyrics.

Yeah, yeah. It's different. Same genre, just a different sound. Same genre is just a different sound, a different way to go about it. Which is always a good thing because you guys stood out more than everybody else. Yeah, facts. And that label and my brothers at the time, that was like the heart of Chicano rap in that time. So everybody knew about these fools and all that shit.

For who else was signed to that label? No, it's not really. they were probably the most fucking known ones out of it besides the main dude and then they it was just a lot of shit it was a lot going on

and then keep in mind it wasn't so much how it is now like the digital era wasn't no no that's why I'm asking my fucker I'm like I was too when you guys were popping it was DVDs and shit you know like foods were getting popping off of DVDs like I don't know how to explain

I see what you're saying I see what you're saying like YouTube wasn't it yet like I mean YouTube was there but it wasn't getting on it was there Yeah, it wasn't getting utilized the way it is now. It was a DVD. Yeah. And this DVD would get passed on you, dude, you know what I mean? Okay.

And then, um, and then, for, did you go on tour with them type of thing too as well? No, I never did, but they did. They did their thing and shit. Yeah, I didn't get to go. I think I was in Mexico at that time. Okay. Because they were rapping while I was in Mexico. Oh, so it's super sucked.

Yeah, yeah. Like, damn it, they're fucking horrors at that show. I'm here at the tienda. My brother over there, they're fucking horrors at the show. I'm at the tienda. Dad, and then when you officially, like obviously, I know you did that for three years, you were sitting the CDs, posters. When did you were like, okay, I'm going to do this shit full time? That was in 2008.

So that's when I got that plug and I fucking did my first little project and I turned it in, got my CDs. And from there, I was just fucking nonstop. I would at least drop like one or two little mixtapes every year. And I would print them up with my face on them. And now it was easier for me to sell them, you know? So now I would hit the, well, I was outside the card. Sampi's, A&PMs, all that shit, food. Oh, you were-in- yeah, I was- like, like, now.

You know, everybody now just goes on their phone and shit, but I come from that era, full. Think of the kids trapping chocolates in the parking lot. This was trapping CDs. Yeah. Damn, they'd be kids trapping. If you know where they'd be getting me in a lot, in Bargum Park, the Target, it's a little two little girls, they'd be fucking coming up on me with the, the talkin' and shit.

Yeah. Did you have a different name before, Y-B? Yeah, I used to go by a little yogi. Okay, thank God, because every time I like, they'd be reading the comments, I'd be like, for I didn't know he had another name before this month. Little yogi. And does the Y and White Beach time for Yogi? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, well, yeah, so it's for a yogi's been established. Okay. So that was like one part of your era and then this is the new year. Yeah, because like I said, I was, I ran the yogi name for a few years and it was cool, but I felt like it was kind of keeping me in a box too, you know? By a box, you mean like Cholo Rap type shit, like Chicano rap. Oh, good. But not like that, food, but like...

You were getting stereotyta. Yeah, yeah, it was just not like to expand to another level, you know? So the homie was just like, well, I think we need to switch it up, but still keep yogi, but like, you know, figure something else out. And we came up with YBE and then, well, first it was just YB, but then I didn't like how it. We spaced, we spelled it Y space BE, but I didn't like that shit. So then we just put it out together. So you just put it out together. Yeah.

Three letters is way easy. in Lil Yogi. Yeah. Like, I put Y and then if you add a B, at some point, if you put a Y, but if you had a B, your shit's going to come out because not everybody has a three-letter name. Facts. Everybody's a little. And everybody's a little.

The little shit's just super played out now. Everybody has that shit. What was your first big feature other than your brothers? I think before we get to that, we just, he's been on the George Lopez show. Okay, see, motherfucking up. Yeah, yeah. Bring it up, please. Yeah, yeah.

So the George Lopez show, that was. I was just a, I just been a fan of that food from, you know, from back then and shit. And I had, did a song because I was going to go to his, his, his, Lopez Tonight Show. Okay. Yeah, so I was young, though. I was like 20 or something shit. And I went. George Lopez, so I had 20 years old are you?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, something like that. No, but I was just, I was in the audience. And I took a CD and fucking, uh, I'm watching the show. And when this was like, hey, George, check it out, boy, I got a CD for you. And he looked at me like, what the fuck is this food? You know, and then he was like, hold up. And I was, all right, cool, he did his show.

And then at the end of the show, he calls me, and he's like, come here in front of everybody. And he pulls out a marker. He's going to sign a CD for me. And I'm like, nah, it's a song. I did it for you, dog, check it out. And he's like, oh, you did it for me? He's like, yeah. He's all right, cool.

But in front of everybody. You're looking nervous? Huh? You were looking nervous? Why not? Because it wasn't, nah, it was cool. Not at that time, but trip out. He fucking, uh, he still had like a little more to do for the show.

And then right at the end of the show, that's when he was like, hey, we got a rapper in the house. He did a song for me. And I got, oh, I was like, what's up, all? He was like, yeah, like, much love for. And he's like, you want to rap? You want to perform? I was like, hell yeah. And that fool brought me out on stage.

And he let me perform. And it was cool. He let me perform. He took me backstage. I fucking, I met Mike Tyson. I met Big Boy. Yeah, but you know, I want to talk about this, though. I met Big Boy from, from, what, 92, 3, right?

Or Par 106. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Fuck, he's 92.3 now. Yeah, yeah. Power at the moment for sure. Yeah, yeah. So I met Big Boy, but I walked up to him to give him my demo and that food turned

me down, dude. Damn, why George Luppers was like, yeah, fuck yeah. Yeah, yeah. So did you love and this would just turn you down. So Big Boy didn't even accept it. He was just like, oh, yeah, cool. He said he couldn't accept it. And I was like, oh, it's all good.

You know, I was like, fuck it. Fuck it's food. Nah, I just plain. But, you know, I was like, all, all, all, all. And then, George came back and he's like, Hey, Big Boys here. demo and I was like, I tried to, but you know, a homie didn't want to take it. He's like, come on.

And he's like, hey, this is the homie's music right here. Oh, yeah, yeah, let me see. Let me see. I've been wanting to say that shit on a platform like this. And then have you ever ran into him after that? No, never. So I hope he hears this. Dan, that's fucked up, dog.

But see, a lot of people be fucking up. Like, because he, like, when, like, you know, I'm pretty sure that people question George's love. Like, people question anybody with a big status, right? Like, oh, this fool, didn't shake my head. hand or this, but you have an amazing story about this food. And everybody else could have a whole different story, but they could be like, then you know what, maybe I just got to give this for another chance.

Yeah. But then the fact that this one didn't take your demo and then he came back and took your demo, I was like, uh-huh. Yeah, it was a little, you know? At the time, it was kind of like this fool. You're like, fuck you grow up in this fool, you know? That shit's crazy. Yeah, but it's all good.

It's cool. Fuck, did you start listening to Part 101 of Super? Nah, nah, it was all good. You know, I ain't tripping. It was cool. So who was your first big feature? Was it, was it the game? I think it was a game for, oh no, actually, no, it was a baby Bash.

I think Bash was a fire. Bash was solid. How'd you come across Bash? Shit, I seen him at a show, and I was just like, fuck. I walked up on him, and he turned around, and he's like, oh, you YB, little yoghia on Twitter? And I was like, yeah, and I was like, what the fuck? He showed love. Yeah, he showed love.

Down to Earth is fuck, huh? Super, dog, and we fucking, we got in the studio, he shot me the feature, and we did a video and everything. But yeah, Bash don't love, fool. I got a lot of love for Bash. What year was this? Shit. I can't even recall, but it was like 2010. He was still assigned to Doghouse Records?

Doghouse? Dockhouse? Dockhouse? My father said doghouse? No, I don't think so. You don't think so? You don't think so? Damn.

And then Bash, and after Bash was the game? Yeah, and then I got a track with the game too. Talk about the game feature, the whole scenario and shit. I did a song. It's called Rumors in the Street, and I say a little reference to the game. on it. And at the time I was trying to like fucking get a feature and just, you know, see what's up. And I fucking sent my track to his manager, which was Tato and Tato Hurdy. And he's like, hey, who's that on the first verse? I was like, that's me. And he's all, hold

up. And then probably like two weeks later, I was in the studio with him. Fire. And then it was all love. Yeah, it was love. And we did the song and then fucking probably like two months later, he had a show at the observatory and I was an opener. And he fucked. And he brought me out on stage. And then you guys did the song. No, we didn't perform it, but he brought me out and introduced me to everybody.

So you love it. Yeah, it's on the video. Like, I have a video with it and shit now. Which is dope. See, but I think even like shooting your, like, what I'm listening to so far, like, you've been shooting your shot at the whole, like, like, you fucking,

you took chances whether they were good or bad. Like, a lot of people would not go to Lopez tonight to be like, how to see deep from me. Straight up. Because that's crazy. And plus, you're doing it at a comedy show, Yeah, and I'm just on some hustle shit, food.

Yeah, I'm just on some, like, I'm gonna make this shit happen, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's really what it was, like, I'm just here to make my shit, like, I want to get my shit heard. Like, I'm gonna figure out a way. And I felt like he was like the only Rasah fool at the time that was going stupid. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah. And then, and then, but shout out your brother for allowing you to sell CDs because that kind of took your shyness away. Like, you weren't shy to, like, introduce a CD or sell a CD or just sell anything that's-old.

No, that was natural. Yeah. And then, because a lot of people, you know, you know, because a lot of people, I've seen a lot of people be like, they kind of stutter. Imagine he's hitting up strangers in the fucking parking lot of food for less every fucking day trying to get a pop. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.

So then George Loppers was just another guy at Food for Less. Type shit. He just happened to have a suit on with a bunch of lights and you were like, motherfuckers here, my son-D. And he showed love. He showed love. And then the baby bass song, that kind of expanded you out towards like Texas and stuff like that in different areas?

No, bit. I mean, it was cool. It wasn't, because at the time for like, you know, it wasn't really the, the The music wasn't, I wasn't really like known yet like that. So it was kind of like still like kind of build, you know. So when the song came out, it did what it did, but I don't think it was like, you know, crazy. Would you say the Baby Bash, since he's talking about expanding more, would you say the Baby Bash record did better than the Cap G record?

Because he got to feature with Cap G and a video. Well, not because I'm more like, you know, it's different now. Well, because you're more known now and and there's digital shit. Like, YouTube, Instagram, collaboration. on Instagram. Imagine you guys had what we have now back then. Yeah, big difference. Crazy. Like, I came from the era of, like I said, pushing out CDs and I seen the transition of the digital game. So how hard was it transitioning?

For me, it wasn't because I just fucking, I had so many projects already. I had like seven, eight little mixtapes that I just uploaded to iTunes and I didn't even have to fucking sell CDs in the street. You have to think about it like this. So we're growing with it as it's growing. Yeah, see, but a lot of people didn't grow with it as we're going. And let's just be honest. But they're older than us.

No, I know. But let's just be honest, a lot of the Chicano scene, it didn't grow because they were just, everything kind of stood. You know, a lot of people don't like, I mean, not a lot of people, but just a lot of people don't like new things. They don't like exploring the new option. And that just goes with any artist from back in the day. It's rare for an artist to be like that was popular.

Obviously the snoops and stuff, that's a whole different level. But like, for somebody that was doing something in 2008, it's a little hard for them to still be doing something now. Yeah, it was hard because, like, I have a whole new, like, while, like, in the later 2000s, I formed my clique and shit and I had my crew. And I was still on that, like, hustle shit. So I would try to give a homie CDs. Like, here, fool, go push, fool. But these fools are young and they were just kind of like. They're like, what the fuck?

They're like, fool, you can put something on Facebook right now. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. So I seen the difference. It was a big difference. And then shot off for you having the young life around you. Oh, yeah.

Because they were like, look, we love you, we respect you, but we don't got to push your D's no more. Here's a Facebook type shit. Type shit. And then were you on Maceb? I'm Maceba. Were you on MiceP stuff? Yeah. Did you put your, I don't think I have music on it, though.

I don't remember. For real? Yeah, I don't really remember if I was doing even music at the time. But maybe, I don't know. Can you remember the first time somebody recognized you in the streets for your music? Not the first time. But, I mean, it'd be happening and shit. Like, what was a, what was like one of the first, okay, what was the best interaction?

What a, what a supporter and shit? Yeah, with a supporter. Shit, just, I mean, just being acknowledged, I feel this is already just fucking cool, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you ever sign to a label or distribution? Nah, I stood in the penning the whole time.

Yeah, I stood independent. Like I said, I wasn't going to sign with that one label. Well, I wasn't going to sign with them, but I was trying to, like, do something with them. And when that didn't happen, I just continued and did my own shit. So I've been solo the whole time. Did offers ever come? Recently. And you turned it out?

Yeah, yeah, recently I did. How crazy was this deal? No, it was, yeah, it was crazy, like dumb crazy. Yeah, like, it was stupid. Okay, so I was just sitting here with the homie settee from San Diego, and he said they offered him, like, a certain amount of money for like 15 fucking albums. 15 albums? And I was like, what the fuck?

He's like, I, like, I left them. on scene. He's like, I just questioned the thing. And I just left him on scene because I've all fucking outrageous that shit was. Yeah, I stood independent. And then, too, like with Nip, installing that shit into everybody with being independent and shit, like, that shit even made me more want to just stay independent. What were some of your, obviously your brothers were around, but what were some of your influences where it comes to the way you rap and not like the average Chicano sign? You had more of a, you had like a, you know, that shit was more nervous. What were some of your, like? Well, I would say, like, I grew up on like bone thugs.

Tupac, some 50 cent. I bummed Little Rob too. I fuck a Little Rob. Shut on Little Rob. I fuck a little Rob. And Nip, I fuck on Nip, you know, for some new shit. Okay, yeah. Nip was cool.

Did you ever fuck with MC Magic? Like, did I ever listen? Like, I never really bumped this shit, but... You for sure dedicated it a couple times? Nah, honestly, I don't even think... Probably that one first one. What was that first one called? The old school one.

Something about you, baby? Nah, not. The old-school one. on the, uh, lost in love. Oh, he did. That was the classic. Yeah, you dedicated lost in love. You getting some pussy.

I'm selling MC Magic that's the classic right there. Now, but shout out to MC Magic, though. I respect that for. He's doing his thing. Yeah, he definitely went in a whole different lane, the way he went about stuff and shit like that. Which is amazing. Would you say that, what would you consider the status of Chicano rap right now since you kind of came from that genre? For real.

As in what way? Like, what do you feel like it did or it didn't elevate or it didn't keep growing? I mean, I feel like it is elevating because you see a lot of Rasa artists doing their thing right now. I mean, I don't think we're not making moves and shit. Like, I feel we're good. I feel like, yeah, we haven't hit that, you know, that fucking Drake level yet. But I mean, we're doing our shit, you know what I'm saying?

I feel like right now is actually even more. Oh, Latinos are the fucking where, I just had another artist of here too from Houston. He's like, and he's like, right now it's cool to be Mexican. He's like, it's cool to be any type of Latino right now. Yeah, that's a fact. He's like, we're like, he's like regettons everywhere or Latino artists are everywhere. And it's just like, it's kind of rare. It's kind of brown people do what we're doing right now.

Don't you hear of a song with like peso? With little peso? Oh, yeah, little peso, yeah. See, and that's fire. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, like I tapped in with him because he was like a little homie that's coming up. And then, you know what I'm saying? And then, and I can see why the music would make sense, hella lyricists, hell of bar

for bar and shit like that. And with your B selection, do you do a lot of East Coast shit? Nah. Like, honestly, like, right now. I've heard some of your shit and it's like very like, you know, like, it's, it's, it's for now your average West Coast sound. Yeah, nah, for sure. Like, I switch it up, but I fuck with different producers.

Honestly, for it was just, on whatever just hits, you know, whatever I'm feeling, I'll fuck with it. And because I have so many songs, I probably have like a hundred unreleased songs. right now. Damn. Type shit. And I would only like fuck with a few, you know what I'm saying, that I'm gonna put out. That shit, yeah.

Yeah, because some would probably never come out. Type shit, yeah. Fugger, did you ever do a diss song that you never dropped it the next thing? Nah. Like you ever went crazy? I dropped all of them. That's right. Because, no, that has to be one where you were like, oh, maybe I went a little too crazy.

Nah, I dropped all of them. No warning shots. No warning side. Um, talk about your relationship with Andy Reese. Oh, Andy, that's a good story. So Andy, he hit me up on Instagram, like way before he fought Joshua. He messaged me and he was like, hey, bro, he's, I like this song right here. He's a big fan of it, whatever.

And he would send me like posts of him bumping it, which is my song Dreams. And it's like a positive song of like coming from nothing and shit. And he, so whatever. So fast forward to that. I fucking, he had a party for his birthday and I got invited to it. And that's when I first met him. And when I met him, that fool walked us. And he was like, hey, bro, he's all that song, like, changed my life.

He's all that shit fucking, he's always fucking broken, bro. He's on when I heard that song, that shit motivated me. And he's like, damn, that's crazy. That's fire. Yeah, he's showing me love. And that's my boy till this day. Damn, how excited were you in you, before you seen him win that fight? Oh, that shit was crazy.

Oh, crazy. Yeah. For me and the whole family. Run me through that fucking day, because I was just like you about another motherfucker. Yeah, we were at my prima's pad. And we were just going to. going nuts, fool. I just remember we all had fucking cups of beers, right? We all have beers and shit. And when this who dropped this, we're all fucking, for the whole floor, dog,

just had fucking beer everywhere, dog. You have no idea how many times they're like, Hey, uh, take me with you when you go to Seattle. Yeah, he not, he don't want to take your ass. You're probably, you're probably trying to record him, fool. With what? I don't know, leave Andy Reese alone. He ain't fucking with you. You kind of look like it. Fuck. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know. He'd probably beat your ass, though. Yeah, shout out to Andy. Andy's a real one.

He showed me love, and until this day, he still shows me love. Shout to him. Are you a big fan of boxer? I mean, like that. I love boxing. One of your favorite sports? One of them, for sure. What other favorite sports do you have?

I fuck with football. Everything. Cowboys, Lakers. What? Shout out of Lakers. What's your fucking team? The New York Giants. What did you say?

Oh, you're a Giants? Oh, man. That's what I mean. Not only did you not pick a team close to home? He picked the whole fucking different coasts? Yeah, but. Cowboys food. He goes for basically Trump. You would have thought he would have been at least a ram.

A ram's cool. See, but see, but I kind of, I'm like obligated kind of to be around fan. Like, LA, like, whatever they win, are we? Hometime shit, but not no, Cowboys fan. That's kind of like, look down. We're cowboys, though. But how the Giants are? They're doing really good right now. Who?

The Giants? Oh, the New Jersey. What's your, what's the standings on that? We're six and two. Yeah, we're six and two, too. Yeah. You ain't doing too crazy. It's a trip.

Come on, you know you're going to go to the playoffs and that's it. Let's just talk about it. Let's just talk about it. You can go to the playoffs. What is some shit you got coming up? I know you have features with endless amount of people, Baudachi, Stupi, and I could go on forever. You. You've been tapped in, different cultures.

And I think that's where a lot of people fuck up and that's why a lot of people's music don't go anywhere. I think when people don't start tapping into different people, artists, or just trying to connect. Food are too cool to connect nowadays. connect nowadays. Like, oh, but I don't want to sliding this DM out. I'm not no fucking fan. If he fuck with me, he do, he do. And I'm like, bro, it's not the heart to be like, like, hey, I fuck with your music. Yeah, I did that recently with that Mexican OT from Texas. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like, I heard that fool shit on the food community. I was, I mean, that shit, hard as fuck. Hey, that shit surprisingly dope, huh? Yeah. Oh, he's hard.

Yeah, fool. And I messaged that fool. And I mess up, bro, this collab, you know, and I brought that fool out here and it was dope, fool. We shot a video and he showed love. It's a vibe. Yeah, yeah. But see what I'm saying? Connecting is. How do you feel about the food community? I mean, it's cool. Yeah. Have they ever posted you? Yeah.

Comments were stupid, huh? Yeah, yeah. You read the... Sometimes, yeah, yeah. I've been reading their shit. I've been posted on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be like, damn, I've never heard that joke before.

They got me right there. They be saying so much. But I think it's cool because they help get, you know, get music out there too. They got a big following, so it's pretty cool. No, most... And then what was crazy is, um, one day I never heard was, um, Adam had any of you said, and he was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, bro, bro, I was like, for promo.

Yeah. And I was like, oh, shit. Well, what's wrong with that? No, there's nothing wrong with it. But to us, it's because, like, when people think food, like, we say it normal. Yeah. But to other people, like, comedy. Yeah, that's a fact.

I mean, I've been saying food for fucking over 10 years. I know, but what I'm, I know, but now, like, when you think, when people think the food community, it's like, a whole lot of Edgar clowning and, like, like, kind of, maybe they confuse a little bit more towards the food's gone wild shit. Which is also funniest shit. Yeah, I think that shit. It's funny. I really don't let that shit get to me, but I do see what some people will be talking about

how they be clowning and shit. Yeah. I do see that, but I also do try to see it in a positive way. In a positive super. It's just funny, fool. That's just, you know. It is. That's just relatable.

It is. That's just hilarious. It is. Yeah. I don't let shit get to me, fool. No. I try to see shit as... I laugh and keep moving.

I mean, just hope you don't end up as a fucking meme on there and you'll be all right. They posted me before? I read the comments. It was like, damn, I've never heard that. I don't know before. The internet will fuck you up. Yeah. Has that shit ever got to you?

Nah, I really don't pay no mind of that shit. What about like just getting off Instagram or like YouTube for a couple of days? Like I just... Yeah, I do that. Hell yeah. Put my phone away and let me just enjoy my time, my family. Yeah, I do that too. I try to...

I try not to post too much and just... I mean, when I do, it's just because if I'm doing something, you know, with the music. Yeah, yeah, with the music and shit. But if not, I really, there's no need to post, I'm saying. Have you had a friend switch up now that you're blowing up more and more and more? and talk about it, please, because people need to hear this and how'd you maneuver around and how'd you deal with it? How can I speak on that?

Maybe not switch up, but try it get a little different. I've seen, yeah, I've seen a lot of that, but I mean, I think it just comes with it, you know, and just got to pay no mind to that shit. Yeah, I don't really... You're just like, ah, kind of do my own shit, fucking... Yeah, it is what it is. You know, if somebody feels some type of way, then we just cut them off and keep it moving.

Okay, yeah. If it ain't solid food, like, for what? You know, like, don't fuck with me if it ain't gonna be on some real shit, you know? Like, if you're gonna be the homie, you're gonna support me, then support me. And if it's gonna be on some funny shit, then. How many people are still with you

besides your brothers from the beginning? Everybody, the whole clique. See, that's rare, like a motherfucker. A lot of your motherfuckers don't know how to, you motherfuckers keep motherfuckers around because it's convenient, not because it's real. Yeah. And talk about that, please.

How do you feel like you guys were able to keep a foundation that's so real? Just keeping it real. Okay. Yeah, just keep it real. Because I'm the one that started like our own little label at the time. So when I had everybody in the team, I just kept the real with them.

I'm like, look, we're going to do this. We're going to do this. And this is what I could do for you. This is what I could bring to the table. And you got to do this. You know what I'm saying? Everybody played their role. Everybody.

More like this is the route, run it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Type shit. Yeah. We all got to, you know, you got to work for yours. We can't just expect. Because for you, you could be, I could be, I could have two million followers.

And if I post you, it doesn't mean it's going to fucking blow you up. It's not going to, you know that. Like, it's not, fool. I mean, it helps, but. It helps, but what? What is it how? Like, a couple followers? Like, it's not going to change your life.

Now, most definitely, like, when there's somebody and, like, it's, like, I totally get where you're saying, like, example, like, out of all, a lot of my hummies. And when it comes to, I guess you can say the industry shit, or just any of my hummies, obviously I'm the one with the bigger platform and pop being. You can only do so much. They still got to put in the legwork. Yeah. Like, for I can't, like, example, the homie Jakarta, he's killing it.

But I'm like, for I can't sing for you. Yeah, fact. Like, I'm not going to sit there. And the promo's only going to do so much. Yeah, you've got to do your job. Yeah, but your promo is only going to do so much. Facts. Like, straight up.

It's not going to. It's all up to the artist, fool. Straight up. What are some rappers that you've been listening to a lot that you feel like super underrated? Uh, shit. What? recently? Yeah. Fuck.

He dropped the tape every month last year. And I'm like, damn. And had a whole rollout for every single. That's a hustle right there.

I'm like, you motherfucker. Yeah, I bet you that money came in pretty strong, though. You know? Are you working on anything right now? Yeah, so... Talk about it, please. I'm not really working on, like, a project. I'm kind of just doing, like, singles, because I feel like people don't really give a

fuck about projects like that no more. I mean, I really don't. I like to hear music. Like, you hate going through 25 songs. Yeah, I'd rather just see a video and be like, oh, that shit hard, and add it to the playlist and move to the net. Fire. And so I just try to drop singles and change it up, you know, kind of have different sounds for each one.

And I got a, I got to just gang of singles. I just dropped one yesterday, Scarface with Alan Paris. And she does more singing? He. Oh, he does more singing? Oh, because I've seen the thumbnail and it was a girl. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I see you clickbaiting.

Just some weird. Some hard beats. And that's it? What about the people around you? You like being alone? No, I like being alone. Oh, okay. It throws off my vibe, food.

Like, I won't really focus like that, you know? Um, when it comes to dropping music, how do you usually play out of rollout? I really don't. I really don't. I just fucking shoot a video, upload it, promote it on Monday that it's going to drop on Tuesday. Move to the next. But there has to be more.

You like, but do you feel like you like to do more? No, that's it. No, that's really it. Like, that's really, that's how I've been doing it for the last fucking 10 years. So for the reason why you ask is because you think it builds up anticipation, do you think people really give a fuck like that? Yeah, I feel like if he promotes, okay, let's just say he drops. Okay, you said, tease it on Monday, drop it on Tuesday.

Like, you don't post any more Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Oh, no, no, no, yeah. Okay, everyone I'm trying to tell you. Yeah, we'll keep posting. Okay, I'm like, can't you just like forget about the song? No, I don't like leaking it like before because then I feel like people just like, I don't know. I feel like people are kind of like. They forget.

Yeah, like, and they don't want to wait, fool, and they just move to the next. Well, remember, though, he's doing singles, not album. No, facts. No, no, no, I understand. And shout out you for dropping on Tuesdays. Yeah, Tuesdays. Because Thursdays are over fucking played. Fuck, yeah.

I drop on Tuesday at 7 p.m. People are at home chilling already. Yeah, no. And then people are on Thursdays, people still go out. Tuesdays, you're at home. Yeah, fuck, yeah. You foos are against Sundays or what? Sunday, yeah, I'm against Sundays.

Sunday's not good. Sunday at 12th. He's watching the Cowboys game on Sunday. Oh, yeah. Well, it depends on season. It depends the season. That's valid. But Sundays are fucking horrible.

Even if, people are hung over, dog. Ain't nobody trying to fucking sit there and fucking be on YouTube. So you're not on your phone Sunday in the morning. I'm not on YouTube. I probably, probably not. I guess I feel that. But, yeah. Sundays are probably the worst you can fucking do.

I think weekends are the worst. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm not a fan of Thursdays. I'm not, like, I get it. Why? Because the East Coast vibes is closer to a Friday. Yeah. But yeah, think about it.

If you drop a song on Thursday, let's just say example, right? You drop a song on Thursday and you send it to a couple of DJs. But those DJs are probably DJing the time you, by the time you send that song. Yeah, yeah. They have a whole weekend. So now you're like, well, what the fuck? Yeah. Well, like, when, but you drop it on Tuesday, the DJ's able to put it in his

rotation. Because music still bumps in the club. Yeah. Like when I'm at the club, I still be like, ooh! And I Shazam real quick. Even though it's a little more rare, but you know, you pay attention more to shit. You Shazam shit? Sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've never done that shit. Well, you have an Android. I have two fucking phones right in front. Yeah, no, that shit comes through. I mean, hell yeah, that shit comes through, fool. Well, if we ever been at any fucking, like, if you hear a song for it that you like and you just, it'll pop up. I guess I feel that. Yeah.

I'd rather do that than fucking ask everybody what the fucking song is. What's your, how do you feel about, like, radio and for the type of music they choose to play? Man, I think, I don't really, I'm cool. He doesn't like the radio ever since Big Boy fucking tonight. Big Bois fucking. No, honestly, I don't even really, like, I don't even listen to the radio no more, to be honest. You think the radio makes a big difference? I mean, I guess it could, but.

Most definitely. I think classic thing and very respected thing is always going to have its power that it has. You want to steer this question into do you even hear Mexicans on the radio if it's not in Spanish? Well, one, I don't listen to the radio. I'm just saying it still respected. I'm a fan of Corridis more than I am of hip-hop. I mean, I'm just being honest. So if I'm looking for a new song, I'm going to go to fucking con new Corridos or our TikTok.

TikTok's a motherfucker. Yeah, I can TikTok. Let's talk about it, WIB. Fuck you rappers that were dissing us back in the day. Two years ago, y'all was hating on the TikTokers And now you need us, you motherfuckers Nah, TikTok is They need this, bro

Why do you talk about it, please One thing I do see on TikTok is shit goes like Up quick, fool I guess that's true My wife shit on a quick There's like no, what's that shit? Bro, it's so fast, bro

It's fast, fool It's so fucking, it's Right now to promote music Facebook is coming back If people don't know this Yeah, I still be posting on Facebook My guys My guy, see,

his market is See, for you need to start your own label, doing some A&R, maybe do some Facebook pays so much. People understand this. Facebook pays you the most. It's faster. And Instagram and TikTok are a little slower in other countries. And Facebook is still pretty fast. But slapping.

So slapping. And Facebook still does. It doesn't work. And then TikTok is just, I mean. I even get messages from people like, hey, you know, I appreciate you posting it on Facebook. Like, you always post on Instagram, but nobody, you know, like, there's people. People on Facebook, dog. There really is.

When you say Facebook, you mean the fucking like page? You mean the fucking Aggie. Fool, Facebook. Facebook. If you have your own page, like back then when you... Like, my shit's a like page. I don't have a like a personal Facebook, but... No, yeah, you just have the like page.

Yeah. But it still goes up. Yeah, it still goes. Because the algorithm is still pretty... It's still pretty well. Healthy. It's not hating. Yeah.

I mean, nah. I mean, the internet's going to hate regardless. Yeah. But one of the fast... One of the things I've seen like, bro, what? Bro, bro. Look at fucking... Example, Little Mario from San Diego.

He shit blew up in San Diego. I mean, on TikTok and he's the biggest in San Diego right now. Any artist right now, like the dude, I like you, I don't get a fuck about your girlfriend. He did one song and got a deal because TikTok's, a girl decided to do that with her boyfriend. And that's that. And well, bro, the algorithm is so crazy. Yeah, TikTok is the new thing right now. Do you do TikToks?

Nah, honestly, I haven't done any like that. He has a personal TikTok for that. No, yeah, no, no, I do TikToks, but I don't like do like those. No, I'm not expecting to be a city or anything. Yeah, yeah, I'll do that. I'm pretty sure your brother's with his own union. Yeah, type of, yeah. Yeah, I just, I just do a little like, you know, I'll do little promos and shit on there.

Nah, but you know what you got to do is react to your music on it. Yeah, I do shit like, I don't react to my music, but I'll, like, spit my shit on there or shit like that. I'm kind of barely getting on TikTok right now, but. You mean react to your own fucking songs? Like, what, bro, if he's sitting there, like, okay, let's not react to me. But let's just say there's a bar where he goes like, I don't know, too fat, ugly motherfucking next to me, and then he points a camera to us. That's just going to go viral.

Okay. And then somebody's going to cut that clip and be like, okay, no, let's just say. The same shit. Let's just say there's a girl, a bad bitch, with two fat girls, and she's going to do that, and then it's going to go crazy with it. You know what I mean? So it's just like, it's just about what you make out of your content. It's based off lyrics, to be honest.

And I've sat here with like With other rappers And they'll talk about how They fucking specialize and pick you apart their bar? They'll say a bar And try to work off that bar on the TikTok But also when you upload your music You know how you gotta choose like what part is on

Instagram and what part's on like TikTok People gotta be a little bit like the little things matter That does matter Yeah like picking the part that stands out Yeah that's a fact Yeah fact. Yeah I believe that for sure And do you playlists to me
