Shit, yeah, and they grew up, shit my daddy from the hood, first of all.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Then my nudgeeer, they all grew up on my block, so it was destined for me to be where I'm from. Right there, every house that was next to me was a Kelly, you know what I'm saying? So it was just natural. Yeah, so their moms and pops grew up in the same, you grew up in the same household? Well, my mom and my dad?
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah. Nah, grandma. Oh, grandma? So you grow with your grandma? Yeah. Oh, Nick from Compton grow up their grandma. Every time I hear, it's like, no, my grandma's my grandma house. All my n'clock grew up with their grandma.

Same thing with my name's AD is raised by his grandma. Sure. And then like Grandma House. Yeah. Nothing like Grandma House. So where was Mom and Dad?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Mom. She was from Seattle, Washington. I was born in Seattle, Washington. But my mama couldn't take care of me. My dad went to jail, you know what I'm saying, for like three years. So she couldn't take care of me, so, boom. She's like, go to Grandma off. Go to Grandma's coffee.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I've been there ever since since I was, like, two months old. Oh, three months old. And she stayed with us for a little bit. My mama ended up like that in there being from the hood because she started fucking with the home girls, older homegirls and shit, and all that. So she stayed for like a year and then left
Starting point is 00:04:27 and I've been there ever since. I didn't even like, I look he didn't even know I thought my grandma there was my mom. You know what I said? But I knew my mom, but I'm just saying like.
Starting point is 00:04:36 So she came to the sentence she was like, got turned out. For sure. She got turned out. For sure. Yeah. Why she leave?
Starting point is 00:04:46 I don't, I really, I ain't ever even asked her. I feel like, I mean, she's from Seattle, Washington. So she's like,
Starting point is 00:04:51 oh, my family out here, I don't, at the time she didn't know what she was you know what she was gonna do and she knew i was probably like a little bit well not a little bit of way better with my grandparents you know what i'm saying so i really didn't i don't know i really really really questioned her like that it just every time she'll come out every now and then and i just appreciate the time i had with her but i wasn't like i wasn't really won't for nothing you know my grandma took care of me and shit so it's like i wasn't missing nothing but i was you know what i'm saying i was still yeah because this is
Starting point is 00:05:23 Like, you, as a kid, that they don't, that didn't bother you at any point. Like, you know what? Damn, why mama ain't here? You feel? Like, where the fuck she at? I think it bothered me more when she came and kicked it for, like, two weeks. And then when she was about to leave, then it's like, fuck. Where you going?
Starting point is 00:05:39 Where you going? You're supposed to be here. Yeah. But, nigga, like, probably cry and shit like that, whatever. But when she, next day, it's over. I got my mom at home, you know what I'm saying? So, like, I'll be hurt. But then at the same time, I do really got a mom at home.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That's my grandma. So grandma showed up to all school events. All that shit. All the whole little shit. All the clothes. I grew up in the hood, but I still had like a good upbringing and shit. I had all the cell phones, clothes, skateboards and shit. But it was, you know.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Did you ever play sports in high school? A little bit. But I was too much fucking around trying to party. Yeah. I really did want to do sports. But. Football? Basketball was first love.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Football came in to play high, like high school, middle school, high school. But then by the time 19th grade, I'm already partying, gang-ranged with the hummus and shit. You know what I'm saying? We outside. You know what I'm saying? Fucking with bitches. You know what I'm saying? That blocked all that shit.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And that kind of like what, that's kind of like what got me into wanting to do music. Like outside, party and going to parties and shit. Just being outside. So, like, me and my niggah, hot boy over there, we was being going to rap a long time ago, but we just never really, like, recorded. I remember we had, I wrote the rap, and we was like, night grade, eight grade, and then we never just recorded it, but I'm like, man, like, we're going to rap. We been to who we was going to rap.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And then I say, like, when I turn 18, that's when it was like, you know, that little group, whatever, figure it out. and then the rest is history now we're here oh so it took you to 19 and record your first song no I mean I was already recording songs with like my cousin shout at the ball beats as a young nigga like recording on the little uh
Starting point is 00:07:34 the little boom box shit doing a little shit like that my cousin did have like a studio where we was like recording songs and shit like that but we never dropped nothing it was just we was recording we wasn't dropping shit and then like when I was I was like 18, we came out with a little group called the starters when we was younger.
Starting point is 00:07:52 No, I was like 17. Had a little dance popping, whatever it is. But I didn't really, to me, my music career started. It started in 2011, but it really, to me, started in 2016 when I went solo. Yeah. 2016, that was my first song. Like I said, it was called Eastie. And I dropped the video on the hood day, May 7th.
Starting point is 00:08:12 How did it feel, though, on your first time, on the mic, like, niggins? This shit, pause. but like, this is for me. Yeah, that shit, that shit crazy hearing your voice. That shit was crap like, yeah, I got to do this. And then when I start performing, I think I really like that kind of like more than like, I do like recording, but like when you go on out performing,
Starting point is 00:08:32 that's a whole other like. So when I got my little first performance and the nigga had the little butterflies in this stomach, like, oh, no, like, oh. It don't seem like you got no butterflies to me now, dude. I mean, like, dude, you turn. I mean, I had it, but as like, as soon as I get on the stage, all that shit, go away.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know I'm, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, shit. So back to your group. You left the group. So you went Michael Jackson on me. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I mean, it's like we did, because I'm still with the same niggas that I had that group with. It's just, niggas start wanting to do other shit. Like what? Like, like, niggas wanted to come out with their own mixtape. We was on some group shit. So we was all doing the songs together. And we so, but, you know, when you got a group that's kind of like, sometimes you don't be wanting to do certain shit or like you can't really even spread your
Starting point is 00:09:23 wings the way you really want to because you got to go for you know it's like four five of it so it's like we got to do kind of like what he want to do he want to do you don't really get to do what you really want to do it was cool don't get me wrong we got a little popping whatever it is in the city and then uh then my boy young rock he came out with a mixtape called bullets road but he was a little older than me so he was a little older than me so he was was already ahead of time like he was going in i'm like man i gotta fuck this i got to do my own shit and then my song like 2016 like i said shot that video in the hood easty boom i'm like oh yeah and i see it start kind of going viral on facebook we made it as a facebook video it got like 16
Starting point is 00:10:06 000 views in like a few days why facebook though i don't it was on youtube but my boy young rock put it on uh youtube as a youtube video so you can actually like see the views used on the bottom. So, and then it was around the time the straight out of the Compton movie came out. So, they shouted out the hood, you know, that's he and all of them from the section and all that from the hood and all that. So I was like, perfect time. The hood, they're coming up too. Boom. Just real quick. I go, I went broke for that video. I didn't have no money in my pocket. I really, like, put blood, sweat, sweat, tears into this shit like, we're shooting today. Yeah. Today we're going to shoot this shit. I already had the song. Boom, dropped the mixtape.
Starting point is 00:10:46 April 27th, May 7th, video was dropped. It was open from then. Did GameBanger ever put a hope on your music career to where, you know what I'm saying? You had to pick one? For sure, I had to pick one. I remember I was outside a lot with these niggas. My niggas, my nigga rocked y'all today from the set too.
Starting point is 00:11:08 We was outside, slide around, and I started realizing, I'm like, damn, like, we more outside than in the studio. You know what I'm saying? Or even if we is in the studio, we drink a lien, my nigga yada. You know what I'm saying? And we ain't really getting nothing done. Yeah. You know, Alene.
Starting point is 00:11:27 They ain't getting shit done. Yeah. We write half a song and then we're done. And then I'm like, I told myself, I'm like, I kind of got like a, well, I feel like I got a responsibility because I know I got it, you know what I'm saying? So I'm like, yeah, I got a, uh, I told myself, like, 2016, 2016. I'm either gang bang or rap because you can't have your foot in
Starting point is 00:11:50 and foot out. If we're going to gang bang we're going to gang bang. I'm a rap. I'm a rap. So in 2016, you made that choice. I made it for sure. Because I'll be telling a lot of motherfuckers and a lot of homies like, look, you're good. You're going to take this shit serious. But you can't have one foot in and one foot out.
Starting point is 00:12:06 It's either this or this, nigga, because... Ain't no half stepping. There ain't no half stepping because if you still got your left foot over here in the street, you're going to jail. For sure. For sure. You jail is in your future. I just went to jail a few months ago. And I ain't really, I ain't been outside.
Starting point is 00:12:23 What'd you go to jail for? That thing, man. That thing always get you. That motherfucker always get you. And then it's like, it didn't, the area I was in, the nigga got tats on the neck, had blast of music. They was harassing the nigger, racially profiling a nigger,
Starting point is 00:12:41 but that. They weren't racially profiling in your ass. He just said, He's lying upset you like this on this today. Like, come on, and you know he's about to get you. Yeah, we're going to get you. Yeah. I knew when I turned the corner and they see me all you.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's over. It's over with it. And then you ain't even really got the thing hitting. You know, niggas be getting comfortable. Boy. You feel me? Yeah, yeah. You had to bail out that thing or what?
Starting point is 00:13:04 Yeah, my niggas have to, my bids and my, uh, my niggas had to bail me out. I got out like the next. I went in like 2 o'clock. I got out like 4.35 in the morning. My nigga amazing came and picked me up. It's life going now. You know what? Fuck, man.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I should have just, you know what I'm saying? Hey, an hour in jail for like a day. I was waking up every hour on the hour feeling like it was like the next day. Trying to call in. And I see how niggas like get like, what's the shit called when they go to jail? Anxiety for sure. Not even just anxiety, but it's some other shit. It's like, uh, institute.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I see how the niggas, I start feeling a little bit, a little bit of that shit in there. Like, ooh, like I've been here, the light on. I can't lay down. This bullshit. that shit for like two weeks. Man, I ain't gonna lie to y'all winning that motherfucker first time in jail, nigga,
Starting point is 00:13:54 and I was in there for like probably like five hours like you said because I was bored and the nigga went and the nigga went down to do a push-up. I was like, oh, God, I got to get out of him. I'm in here. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:14:07 I ain't been to do no fucking push-up to this motherfucker, nigga. I'm like, this shit is some bullshit. But yeah, go back to I want to go back to this nigga EasyE, man, and shooting the movie and it said, man, how was that?
Starting point is 00:14:21 First of all, before I ask you how is that, I want you to really, you know what I'm saying, let motherfuckers know, like, in our generation, niggie really was a Crip. Definitely. Because these motherfuckers be, you know, acting like this shit is some rap shit or putting on a persona,
Starting point is 00:14:36 like, knocker was really from the game. Definitely. You know what I'm saying? Was your daddy or anybody ever hung around them, or you ever seen? and I fucked with him. Yeah, my grandma used to definitely do his hair. My grandma used to do everybody here.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Your grandma did Jerry girl? Yeah, all that. Dripping. Dripping. Your grandma did easy. Jerry girl. That's crazy. Well, my dad used to do, he used to be doing somersaults in front of our house and shit
Starting point is 00:15:10 and the grass and all that shit. So he was flipping. Flipping in all type of shit. So he was a badass kid. Bad ass kid. A little, you know what I'm sure? I hate niggas that can flip. Because I could never do that shit.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I could never, ever. In a pool, probably. I could, never. How damn there couldn't even do that shit in the pool, though? Nica had a pool in the backyard. Y'all had a pool in the backyard? Y'all niggins in the back yard. Nick, you had a pool in the backyard.
Starting point is 00:15:37 It wasn't like no one in the floor, but it was like a long. Oh, okay. But it was a long one, though. It was about like six feet. But shit. It seemed. bigger though when we was younger though but now I see this shit now it's like damn this shit was really small
Starting point is 00:15:50 yeah yeah yeah gotta pull in the backyard like the you know the type of music you make you feel me is party you feel me it's uplifting it's cool like you know why'd you take that route because a lot of motherfuckers from from Los Angeles they be you know they gang banging they want to diss a niggahood in the song they shooting and killing some whole other shit you know why'd you take the party party route I mean well when I first started
Starting point is 00:16:15 I was kind of like you can say doing gang bang music talking about the little section and all that shit but then it still had that little party feel to it and then I'm like if I do that and then I still hang around
Starting point is 00:16:30 civilian people too though not saying they ain't with the business or nothing like that but I'm like let me let me kind of like sneak in the game through the clubs that'll give me there a little faster than me just trying to shoot up everything you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:16:45 So I kind of like took that route to like give me that extra little boost to get me known. So I know when I go rock out some shit, it should go crazy. And then later on, not saying, I do be putting my little games and shit in there, but I really want to take over the clubs and really like have shit lit, you know what I'm saying, bring back the fun times when niggas were 16, 15, you know what I'm saying, having fun where, I mean, we was beefing, but it wasn't like beef like that. Yeah, like crazy. We were still trying to figure out if a nigger wanted to, you know what I'm saying, really stepped foot in, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Nigger was in it, but I'm just saying. Nika was cool with niggas, but, you know what I'm saying? That's what really made me take that route, you know what I'm saying? Just basically like, I ain't signed, so what's the best way to get up there faster? Yeah. Through the clubs. I mean, yeah, and how, you know, do you actually want to be signed? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:39 Or do you want to still take your independent route and just hopefully, you know, book? in the city. I mean, if the situation right, I definitely want to sign because it ain't nothing like that machine behind you. When you're doing it off the mud, that shit can get different. It makes you want to quit. You know what I'm saying? Like I go lie, like, a few months ago, I was like, fuck this rap shit.
Starting point is 00:17:59 You know what I'm saying? They got personal problems, you know what I'm saying, getting into people going to jail, you know, losing, all the type of shit, money. Money. Is it ever a time where you, like, depressed in these situations and you don't, you don't know where to go, you don't know who to turn to. It's just like, you know, you're ready, you really ready to give up. Yeah, I definitely was ready to give up after I went to jail.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Like right after, like a few days later, I made a post. I'm done with this rap shit. But I was really, I wouldn't even doing it for no, like, for no attention or like that. I was like going through with personal issues, all type of shit was going on. I made a post. I'm like, nigger, I'm done with this rap shit. everybody DMing me. They're like motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I ain't even know that knew about a nigga DM and the nigga other artists like, you tripping. Nigga, you tripping. Nicky you tripping. So I bounce out of that shit like two, three days though. I'm like, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I never put too much. Yeah, because who is your shoulder to lean on? Because I know niggas, we always be talking about that. So, I mean, niggas in a set really, I mean, you can't, you can't,
Starting point is 00:19:06 you can't lean on the nigger and say as far as to be your therapist or no, like shit like that. If you're having a problem, you go to the said niggins like man get the fuck out of here you know what I'm saying you better get your stupid ass up but you're having a real problem will it be your homies or would you go to like your girl or something you know what I'm saying uh yeah my girl uh shit amazing these niggas all these niggas right here all call these niggas like man like
Starting point is 00:19:30 I need to figure this shit out I don't even trip bro it's gonna we don't get this right we're gonna everybody that's here right now I mean a few other people but for sure yeah so what keep you motivated now you know what I'm saying to keep doing your thing uh will keep me motivated as like i think all the shit the nigger been through all the shit all my my niggas didn't been through they got kids i got a i got a seven-year-old i got a son that's looking up to a nigga he like really be online like looking at my shit calling me like hey talk to you know xbox live say you a rapper like he want to like wow like he oh you know his daddy booming yeah hell yeah so he'll get on uh the xbox and be talking to the kids you know my dad a rapper
Starting point is 00:20:10 We're like, ooh, and for real, they will type the video up. You're lying. Let me talk to him. So I get on the phone, you know what I'm saying? I get to talk to him and shit. Like, yeah. Yeah, I mean, having a kid, that shit changed your life like that. I mean, because I'm having a kid for show to change my shit.
Starting point is 00:20:24 That definitely, and that's another reason what made me kind of like, oh, yeah, I got to take this rap shit serious here. Because I want my son to have, I mean, I came up. Good. Don't get me wrong, a nigga had hard times, too. But when a nigga really got here, a lot of 17, 18, kicked out the house. four, five years, you know what I'm saying, niggas, going back and forth homey houses and shit, I'm like, I mean, I can't be living like this.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Because when you go from having somewhere, it's worse when you, I mean, when you already end that life and you already like don't have nothing, you already kind of like used to it. But when you grow up in a house where you have food, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all the other shit, and then when that shit gets stripped away over some bush shit and now you're on the streets, I was still outside thinking with the hummus, but I still had a good, So when you get all that normal shit, like stripped away from you, you like really get to see what life really about. I'm like, I can't be out here like this. I can't even have my niggas out here like that.
Starting point is 00:21:24 So I'll be feeling like responsible for the people I'm around too. That's what really like my son, of course, and my grandma and my niggas. Because I know they got situations. I know they talent. I know it's not just for me. You know what I'm saying? It is for me, but it's for my niggas too. Are you?
Starting point is 00:21:39 Because are you strictly living right now for like rap income? Yeah. I ain't had no job for like four, five years. I told myself, I mean, the job shit, that's how I'm breaking my back warehouse jobs and naked getting paid. I didn't got, I didn't made way more money in the street or music than jobs. And then I'm near thinking all day like, I'm going to quit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:05 We quit in like seven days warehouse. We ain't making the seven days I'm 24 hours in that motherfucker Like, you're crazy Man, I'm like, Nick and never You see the Latino people up in there Working without sweating Going crazy
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah, so it's like shit I for sure My last job I was doing security at events For artists I'm like, how the fuck I can't be sitting here I'm trying to be an artist Oh no, because you had a job
Starting point is 00:22:37 So you had a job, security, and the artist coming in, and you like, I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. Yeah. I'm jugging, though. You want to get some nick you weed in? Are you showing niggas, like, your music and shit as niggas coming in? I ain't go lie, I was. I was, for sure.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Oh, everything you got, too. Hey, this is me, bro. You know what I'm saying? Fuck with me. Yeah, I think my last time working was like 2017, beginning of 18. When did bigger artists start coming, you know what I'm saying, start noticing you start being like kind of receptive to your music and shit. I'll say more along the line of like 20, 2020, 2021.
Starting point is 00:23:21 But I kind of, like, Alar, I kind of came up with a lot of niggas that's like booming right now, like the Kalins. He didn't, he had a little crew when he was younger. We always was at parties performing blast, same shit. Like, they weren't like, bet niggas's best friends. shit but like every time we'll see each other oh you're performing too oh what's the deal nigga whoa chop it up blast
Starting point is 00:23:41 uh wally uh who else all the niggas before a nigga callie swag this shirt all the niggas but I'll say like 2021 for sure niggas start Haiti baby all type of niggas start tapping in on my story and blue checks I'm like ooh
Starting point is 00:23:57 start fucking with it you know what I'm saying like now are you trying to put are you are you trying to put down a project or do you want to just keep doing singles? No, I'm going to put out a project like in the November. I was kind of like doing it the old school way and trying to like, all right, drop a few songs and then just push it, just keep pushing it because some of them was getting popular.
Starting point is 00:24:22 So I'm like, fuck it like, I don't need to drop a gang of songs. But that's where I was lacking at. I was lacking that just like staying a little bit more consistent on dropping songs because I didn't know how important it was because I'm trying to go the old way and just push songs so you can't push it no more. Yeah. But recently I just started really getting real consistent.
Starting point is 00:24:39 I always perform. I always have little podcast, interviews, and shit like that, so I was always still in the mix. I'll drop a few songs, but this is like the most I've been like consistent dropping video song in like two weeks. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:53 Fast. Yeah, because you don't two, your streams. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Shit going crazy, you know what I'm saying? It was kind of like what Ralphie was in here talking about. He's like, shit, when Drake
Starting point is 00:25:04 was dropping, I had to drop way more than him, you feel me, to see the kind of bread he had, so I had to do triple the work. So all those streams and all that shit adding up. Lo-key, niggas is laughing, but that shit started adding up. After a while, that shit started adding up, you feel on me? So what's next you just, you said
Starting point is 00:25:21 you just got an album coming out of November. You feel me? EP. I'm put like seven-made songs. I don't want to put too much, I don't want to put too less. You know, niggas attention spans fucked over right now. So I'll probably be preparing more. alone along to drop a mixtape like next year like February March but in between I'll still be dropping videos and singles man anybody anybody you got on a singles featuring I ain't go a lot I'll be like
Starting point is 00:25:46 nah probably these niggins or something but I'm more of like an in-house I do want some features don't get me wrong but uh I'll be I'll be like damn I want to do my own because I'll be letting people hear the song they'd be like you should have just you should have just did the song you know what I'm saying I make better music by myself, but I do make bangers when I collab with my niggas. I like to collab with my niggas more than just a gang of other niggas. Because they kind of know your whole style, right. They know my whole shit, my producer, you know what I'm saying, all that shit. So like, and it's something, I ain't a lot.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I ain't saying I ain't gonna never do it, but I don't see myself all the way like paying for no feature. I mean, I would, but it's like, I didn't, I'm damn near going up just, as much as you are bigger, but my engagement, when I be performing, niggas be going crazy. So I'm like, I'll be feeling like I'm just as big as them niggas, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes, I mean, certain niggas. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:26:48 all that paying for a feature is out. Yeah, that's, yeah. Nah, that's stupid. We play, right? Yeah, like, if I was to give you some advice, thing, I ain't paying your ass, that niggas either organic, we fucking with each other. You know what I'm saying it's on. Because it's like, you're not that much bigger than me. I'm going up. You see my engagement.
Starting point is 00:27:04 So I want you to respect this shit. You ain't respected. I ain't really all the way. I'll see you later on down the line. Yeah, for sure, later on down the line. You know what I'm saying? You don't want to do a song for a nigga like three months. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:17 But a lot of artists like that, because I'll be seeing NBA young boy, he'd be doing this thing and he don't be having no features on this shit either. And I'd be feeling like motherfuckers like, bro, you don't even fit my, the whole everything. I'm not just putting my swag. Like I said, I'm going to put my niggas on it. Probably like one song real quick. You name out there, promote them, you know. That's what type of.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I'm more of an in-house thing. I got my own producers. Shout out to my niggas sway on the beat. But I like collaborating with these niggas. They bring you out the best out of niggas sometime. I mean, we do the same. Is it kind of like a competitive nature in the studio or whatever? Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I'm saying, who the best? Who the best? Shit, I'll just. Who the best? Who the best? Not real shit. I mean, I'll go off this shit. He'll make me go harder.
Starting point is 00:28:00 So I'm like, I got to come off if this nigger going off. And he's the same way. So we definitely keep that little competitive. of that fun shit going on. Is it under the same umbrella or y'all just go whoever blow first, just blow and then, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:13 How was that split going to go? Because what if your homie, because you already did the Michael Jackson shit. Y'all better watch this nigga, man. He already Michael Jackson is his first group, you feel?
Starting point is 00:28:25 I'm with the same niggas though, but yeah. Yeah, I mean. I just realize that I get bigger if I go solo, and that's what happened for sure. Yeah, I mean, what's your marketing strategy as far as Instagram and shit?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Because a lot of motherfuckers be kind of like disengaged and just like not knowing what to do as far as an independent artist too on, you know, and when you have to be on social media yourself and posting and shit like that. I realize my engagement, my thing is like I post a lot of videos. So I'm not really like picture, posting pictures. I'm posting like I'll post my performances going up, boom, get that engagement going crazy because they really want to see me. the cover art, fuck all that, that's cool. But they want to see me. So I'll sit down and rap my song
Starting point is 00:29:11 and then have one of these niggas record me, have my girl record me, and then post that. Then when I post that, they got to engage, oh, he fly, or I like what he said, the song or art, then I dropped the song. Then, like I said, I always have performances and shit,
Starting point is 00:29:27 so I'll post my performances, keep content, just keep coming, even if it's not a music video, some that show me performing, podcast, this down the third. That's my strategy right there. How you feel about West Coast music right down and just a general and a hole?
Starting point is 00:29:43 I'm going to tell you before you answer your question. My answer is this shit is trash. You know what I'm saying? Like it's a lot of trash shit going on and I'll be feeling like bro, like we don't, we're not growing here as artists
Starting point is 00:29:59 and especially our female artists. We had to talk about that. Took us a lot of female artists from a lot of different states and our female artists just it's not there. I think it's like the I think it's like the camaraderie.
Starting point is 00:30:14 I think it's like don't nobody want to be told nothing. Don't nobody want to let somebody else help them do something. It's a team, you know what I'm saying? So I felt like niggas out here, they just fuck it. Let me just go make this song.
Starting point is 00:30:31 But too, we got to help. Yeah. I'm booming. Oh, you, you booming? Oh, come here. You know what I'm saying? I think it got something to do with our gang politics. It ain't, it has to be that.
Starting point is 00:30:42 It's our sound, too. Don't get me wrong. Because we already damn there's like tired of our like West Coast kind of sound because we're from the West Coast. We listen to like all type of other shit. I listen to a lot of West Coast shit, but a lot of motherfuckers just like on some down south shit. So it's like, but I feel like it's our gang politics, though.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Do gang politics ever, you know, keep you away from growing or fucking with different artists? Definitely. Well, I don't think it stopped me from growing, but it definitely, I'm not fucking with certain motherfuckers for sure. It definitely. You're not feeling you.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Like, you ain't going to never do a song at no point in your career with these niggas. If you, you know what I'm saying, you get a certain height in your career. I can't see myself doing it. It got to be like some shit going on where this gang, making shit,
Starting point is 00:31:35 a sub and we just and I only never see that stopping. We just was talking about one foot in and one foot out. You know what I'm saying? And you growing. You're doing your thing. He's popping. You popping. But you're not going to.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You're not going to be on these songs. What I'm saying is you're not going to be on these songs sneak this in and throwing up the hood and saying fuck the hood and no. I'm not doing a, you know what I'm saying? We're not doing that because you basically, you're saying fuck me. You're saying, fuck, everybody that didn't die from the hood, homies, daddies, uncles, mamas and all that shit. So me just even trying to be around you, it's going to be like,
Starting point is 00:32:16 nigga, I'll dive on you right now. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't trust, I don't, I don't trust niggas, you know what I'm saying? I don't hang around the gang of niggas. So it's going to be kind of, you got to really be like, and I'm still not going to do a song. You got to really, oh, you got to really be on some kumbaya shit, but I'm still kind of not really about to do no song, which. Yeah, LA politics, man.
Starting point is 00:32:38 This is ridiculous. Because we didn't. When do we stop? When do we stop? Look, when do we stop this shit? Do niggas even want to stop this shit? I think it's at the point to where a lot of niggas don't want to stop it because it's just so natural.
Starting point is 00:32:54 This before us. Yeah. We ain't start this shit. It's really not our, I'm going to say, it's really not our fault. But can we end it though? shit we can but it got to be they tried it
Starting point is 00:33:08 they tried it already shit they tried it but that shit only lasts so long you can't bring back them niggas that died you can't if we can bring back niggas that died and then boom then maybe but we can't do that
Starting point is 00:33:22 so it ain't really it's gonna always be a nigga like nah this nigga with you up I'm always be like nigga nah nigga you we probably could sit down down maybe have a conversation. Nah, I don't even know about no conversation, really.
Starting point is 00:33:35 So, damn. A conversation might be like, all right, whatever, but I'm still, it's still not, we ain't sweet. We ain't fin to kick it. We're not kicking it with you. Y'all killed them. I'm not kicking it with you. That's out.
Starting point is 00:33:48 So have you ever seen, have you ever seen an enemy, like, going to do a show and he was at the same show? Y'all was going to perform and y'all had to get into it? Oh, nah. Every time I get booked for a show, I'm asking, hey, who y'all got booked on here? I don't get along with certain. I'm on it.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I'm not, we're not doing that. Oh my God. I'm asking. I want to know because you, you're a fucking round, a nigga, have a special guest. You're not even knowing a special guest, your enemy. And right there, at that point, fuck the rapping shit. I'm on, I'm, we're
Starting point is 00:34:19 gonna, I'm gonna end up like, starting some shit, because I'm gonna be paying attention of nothing but y'all. So every show when you go to shows, do you bring all your homies, you know what I'm saying, do y'all gang up? Like, man, I don't know. I still don't know. I still don't know. fuck it let's all go i go like well when i first started doing music we used to go
Starting point is 00:34:36 think some motherfucking because we still got like we were still in the street so it was like we going like 25 30 thick you know i'm saying and but i don't like being around a gang of niggas now like that i'll go to a show with this stuff that's fine we're gonna go correct though you know what you just got a move right i don't like moving with a gang of niggas could then a gang of other like they might not move like how we move y'all doing shit starting shit doing we here for business ain't even nothing going on you getting paranoid starting shit this my name you know what I'm saying this I'll really take this shit serious I'll stop damn there fucking with a nigga because you didn't messed up my name you know what I'm
Starting point is 00:35:16 saying so you got to but it is sometimes you do got to bring them niggas though we is them niggas but I'm just saying you got to bring them other niggas for certain shit though because shit do get wild and shit do get wild so it's right it's rap is real Really the most dangerous job. For sure. For sure. When I came here, I'm like, I don't, I mean, I knew it was going to, I knew y'all move a certain type of way, but it's a lot of traffic going in and out of here.
Starting point is 00:35:42 So I'm like, you might run into some shit. You know, I might run into some shit that have to perform. Hold on because they always say my people that I bring up here got a gun. You know what I'm saying? I'm not lying to you. Like, every time you interview a nigga, dup niggas got guns. Like, please tell them, niggas. And I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:36:00 I'd be telling you like... That's because you bring the street. Like, I was already fucking with no jumper, but I started fucking with a little jumper more when you and AD came on this motherfucker because y'all, I can relate. Not saying that I can't relate to Adam, but, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:36:14 Y'all niggas from whose. Y'all niggas been outside. So when y'all started coming on this motherfucker, I'm, oh, yeah, I fuck with it. She know I'll be in this, I'll be on my computer all day, phone all day looking at your shit. Like this nigga.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Yeah, I'd be turned up on that motherfucker. Yeah, talking shit. You feel? me and still fucking with y'all niggas and seeing what that shit doing you feel me? Like on the West Coast nigga who is your top five like that you listening to right now?

Starting point is 00:37:23 all those artists you name me is pretty much like got a lot of versatility you know what I mean like do you feel like in your music that you got to have that Like, I gotta start changing it up here and it can't be the same sound. No, for real.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Like, if you go listen to some of my songs, when you do, you don't see, like, okay, he's not just rapping. He's trying to do a little singing on it. He's trying to do this. He's trying to do that. And I really start. Well, I had been doing it, but I just wouldn't drop in a lot of songs. I was just rapping. Something like, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I'm too talented. I got to show him this shit, like, what my real artistry. So, yeah, definitely. I don't want to like do too much shit that like ain't what I'm doing though I want to I want to master I want to really give you what I'm giving my lane my lane but this is but I put a little bit of that you know what I'm saying some other shit to give you like okay he's an artist he's a artist he's not just a rapper you're an artist I mean ain't nothing wrong with you bustin your lane you know what I'm saying and then it's me and then I might bustle left yeah real quick fuck with me but I'll bust the left but some of my fucking be scared to bust that left and you're gonna bust that left and you're just to bust that left and you're gonna be scared to bust that left and you're just me to bust that left and. start doing that shit and the motherfuckers be insecure. Oh, I'm singing, you know what I'm saying? Hey, bro, how I sound? Like, I'll be like, man, just fuck it.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Just put it out. Yeah, just put it out. All that overthinking shit, you'll kill yourself. I for sure used to be overthinking this shit a lot. Like, man, go with how you feel. Yeah, when did you stop overthinking your music? Like, um, I'll say like 2019. 2019, I kind of stopped, like, writing.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Like, I was like, I mean, I'll write something down and say it, but I'm more along the line, like freestyle sometimes or punch in. Because sometimes you'll think of some shit on the spot and it'd be better than what you wrote. So I'm like, I'm gonna just go without what I feel. And we help each other in the studio too, though. Like, we ain't just letting no, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:39:22 No bullshit. Nah, we ain't. The niggas that just hurry up, boom, nah. Do this sound right? Put a little thought to it. Then we're putting it out. We ain't just doing no bullshit. Stacking shit on top of shit.
Starting point is 00:39:34 That's all. How do grandma feel about you taking your rap career, like, serious? And this is all I'm doing. She, like, I mean, she was, she knew I was going to do it because my family actually was doing music. They produced for banging on wax. The banging on wax started at my park in my area. So my uncles did all the, like, maturity of the beats with DJ Battlecat.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Uh, even my grandpa, he was in the instruments. He was playing at the Apollo behind, Ray Charles, all the niggas. Then my uncles did the production. Now I'm doing the vocals. So my grandma was like, I knew you was going to do it. But she's still like, you know, grandma, they want you to graduate high school and go to college. I'm like college. I ain't really, I ain't like school.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Shit me either. I just, I'm more of a, I'm more a nigga that, like, learn off like, I can't hear you talking and learn. I got to see it, boom, and then I get, I'm a hands-on, nigga. All that talking, I get bored, I'm ready to go to sleep. From experiences. Yeah, I'm more. experience that's how I learned I saying that I can't learn from people saying something but I learn better what people like doing it or me doing or me trying it and
Starting point is 00:40:42 fucking up and then okay I fucked I'm gonna take this way so you do come from a musical background yeah you do come from a musical background and it's a lot of history coming out of your particular set for sure I mean shit we really I go a lot all this this rap shit and all that really started in the set like all that dissing hoods and all that they think that started in Chicago now that shit started in my side on my side you know I'm saying so I really take pride of that too that the NWA all that shit um but whole time she like baby go to school go to school I ain't worried about no school I'm on the street yeah I damn even got nowhere to go I ain't trying to pay back no long I ain't got no money right now
Starting point is 00:41:28 you know niggas was thinking like that then like yeah like now I ain't going to no school and when I did try to go to school, I just like, you know, the little test that you go to get into school, I'm just guessing shit. I try to go to school for music, but. That thing said the test to get his school, I'm guessing shit. I'm guessing shit because I know I really don't want to go here. They're like, yeah, you didn't pass. You got to come back.
Starting point is 00:41:49 So that's the multiple choice shit, right? Multiple choice shit. Oh, God, in heaven, I did the same thing. I'm like, nigga, man, fuck this shit. I'm a pot of here, dig it. And in mind you, when I did it, I'm already like, probably like, two years into seeing my music kind of like going up after 2016, getting a little notoriety and shit.
Starting point is 00:42:09 And I'm not even realizing it got bigger than what I thought it was getting. Football players hit me up, Cowboy. I like, I seen your video on Facebook. I'm not, I ain't seen any niggas in 10, 15 years. I'm like, I seen your video. I knew it was, because then, you know, when one person looking at your video, it's like five other niggas behind him. I'm like, oh, I went to school with this, nigga.
Starting point is 00:42:29 So, uh, I was already kind of popping, so I'm like, I know this is what I want to do. Fuck that school shit. Yeah, that's all right. When straight out of Compton got filmed over there, was you trying to get in the movie? Hell yeah. I was mad as a motherfucker. It's like, like, how did, you know, how these niggas pick the rolls? Like, dick, I need to be in this bitch.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Yeah, like, we, let us be, B-roll or something on the side hanging and banging or something. But, yeah. They, I'm going for it? They, oh, y'all should have pressed the line because they did that in jungle and the jungles, they get training day, they pressed the line for that. I'm like, I'm like, shit, I thought the shit was going to be shot over there when I'm seeing, like, the whole trailer and shit. But they did, like, do some after shit and come to the park.
Starting point is 00:43:12 What was it, a little easy. He came. Dr. Dr. Jason, all of the older homies, probably like your age. I ain't saying you're older, nothing. Damn. I'm not. You know what I'm saying? They was all at the park.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Did a little photo shoot, had a little compter shirts on, went to the little big Donut. The hell's donut up there to do the little photo shoot. So they did kind of like cover some shit over there though
Starting point is 00:43:35 but shit when a nigga wouldn't seen that movie though and they shouted out the hood like shit hard I'm like yeah

Starting point is 00:44:16 Oh, okay. You know what I'm saying? I'm just trying to make sure, you know what I'm saying, get it right for the people out here because, you know, we never be, niggins don't be knowing. But niggas be thinking, but niggas, you know, because back in the day, you know, over there in my section, It was like all the Crips right there

Like, I was over there for like 10 minutes, 10, 15 minutes. I'm like, damn, this shit do feel different. like coming over here. I hadn't came here like, I went there for like a month. The air different. The air different.
Starting point is 00:45:36 For sure. Because I got on a 110 and I exit 51st Street. And I'm like, I got to get the fuck up out of here. I felt like, you got like 10, 15 minutes before like the police come. Yeah, I'm like. Or something go on. You go over there, boom, bang, get up out of there. Because once you start getting that feeling, you got to go.

Sometimes you feel uncomfortable, like, especially when you're growing, when you're growing and start being around different type of shit. Like, man, I don't even want to, I don't want to smell that smell, you stink.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah, all that. And it is just like, I'll start looking at the street. I'm like, I survived that. Yeah, how we grow up. Like, that's a guy. I survived that. Because a nigger could pass by right now. And I'm not even thinking like that.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Yeah. I'm just walking the one way. Yeah, nigga, out. That shit is crazy, honey. What a nigga, you feel, me, accomplice, and you know what I'm saying? You doing when you start growing and you start realizing those things, like, that shit is really crazy. So, you feel what I mean, I commend you on doing what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:46:46 You keep going, you feel me. Fuck all of that going back shit and doing all that shit. Like, yeah, the one for that and one foot out shit. Like, stay there. I don't go lie because I used to love, I used to love the hood. Like that wouldn't, like, I'd rather go to the hood than like, go somewhere nice. And I used to like, damn, like, this shit, like, it's like really like, it's really like in niggas to like, because we grew up in this motherfucker. So you want to hang in the hood.
Starting point is 00:47:10 You want to go to the park. You want to hang in the block. That's all I know. You want to, you know what I'm saying? Be outside, rapping, playing, B's doing this, doing that. And it's like, I don't even know, like, this year, I kind of like, I'm going to say in this last year. I just start really, like, all the way feeling comfortable, not be, like, I can go without being in the hood. for like a whole month and not really all the way feel no type of what.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Like if it would be forward, he was like, damn, they can't be in the minute. Like, you know, or I'd be, you know, man, let's go up over there. But, like, now I can go like a whole month or two and not go over there. Especially if I'm especially focusing, doing the music. I mean, but it's the thing it's like Wally, you know what I'm saying? We just did when we did the interview with him. Like, and I asked him the same question, and he's like, nah, I'm going to be there for the rest of my life. I slept in this park.
Starting point is 00:47:57 I was homeless. In this park, I'm coming to this park. I'll probably be at this park every day. And I said, damn. I mean, I mean, a nigga not gonna never just leave the hood. But see, like, niggas like us, we really, like, one year old. It's a lot of people that didn't really all the way grow up in Compton or they in their hoods, like, how we did. Like, we've been there since, nigga, out the poop.
Starting point is 00:48:23 You know what I'm saying? So it's like, we're going to get tired of it more than the niggas that. I can just come around or like maybe been around for about six, seven years because they still trying to get a whole feel like other life. You know what I'm saying? You know, but I'm just saying like I didn't see this shit for over 20 years. I didn't, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, nigger love it, but a nigga trying to move this way.
Starting point is 00:48:50 How is that though, you know, especially in Compton? Like a lot of motherfuckers from out of town or from different cities, motherfuckers want to come and be a part of set you feel i mean how do y'all like embrace niggas or do y'all embrace niggas or you be like hey hon you you didn't grow up over here niggins shame on you nah niggas definitely your politics don't especially if you you ain't from over there and you ain't showing your face it's like what's your point of even being from the hood and like i mean i feel like if you ain't got no ties or no family or no you get what i'm saying home real homies from there ain't no point to even be from no Because it's like you're not going to love it like how we love it.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Or you ain't going to show it the love that it deserved because you really don't even all the way to understand this. I mean, like the out of town, you know what I'm saying? Like you ain't, you ain't, you ain't just, you're saying basically like niggas come out here and want to get stamped or like. Yeah, all that too. I mean, shit. I mean, niggas are fuck with niggas, but you ain't, the sea ain't for sale. Shit, that's, I mean, in our hood for show, we ain't just letting like no rap, nigga. I don't see a lot of rap niggas kind of like you know what this confident crick yeah it's
Starting point is 00:50:02 it's not it'd be it's on the other side it's on the other side yeah maybe you know what I'm saying but I mean it will fuck with you you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying if we you know but when the gang just you ain't just trying to be from the hood especially if you ain't about to come here and do nothing what's the point of you being from the hood if you ain't gonna come over and help motherfuckers or do shit it's niggies that didn't really lost their life of this shit in jail for life and did 10, 15 years, you know what's your point? Me, it's like you just want to feel like you are part of something, but do you really love this? Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:50:37 Have you ever came in, you know what I'm saying? Have you ever had any rap beef while you've been rapping? You know what I'm saying? Because sometimes you do come across that shit and sometimes niggas do be sent in subliminals. And sometimes they don't even have to be your enemy. It could just be your ass niggie that's rapping. And it just so happened, he don't like you. Nah, I ain't really had no shit like that.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Nika had, like, some little shit going back and forth with a nigga and he knew, but it was, like, really some fun shit. But we was acting like it was some crazy shit. But it really wasn't, though. But he really just wanted some clout. And at the time, it was like a couple years ago, I'm like, you know, a nigga Loki was still kind of like hot-headed. So, nigga, like, yeah, I'm going to respond back over the record.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Tell him up real quick. But he, you know, we ain't going to even mention him. But do that shit work? You know what I'm saying? the cloud, do the cloud, like, route, do that shit work? Yeah, that shit, it actually, that's what I was like, damn, how the fuck, nigga, nigga engagement go up when the nigga do some shit like that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:38 It's like, damn, y'all niggas really want to see, like, niggas going back or forth, like controversy. That shit do work. I'm not saying to just get a nigga like a million views, but that shit actually do get you the engagement that, you know what I'm saying? No, that shit get a nigga looking and doing all the whole little shit. Especially when you know, when you see, like, rappers on the shit arguing with, like, whack. You got 21 Savage arguing, arguing, whack on clubhouse and the niggas is doing all of that whole little shit.
Starting point is 00:52:02 It definitely sparks some shit up. Yeah, it sparks some shit up, you feel me, and fuck with it. Like, would you ever, like, get on live? Because I'll be seeing young niggas on live with their enemies. I'm like, what the fuck are y'all niggas doing, nigger? That's like, that's clown. That's, like, clown shit to me. I'm not going to be.
