Okay. Dang. That's the real name. authentic. I try to keep as smooth as possible. No care. Hey, man, you're down here at Dreamville, man. This is a big time festival, man. It's over almost, what, 20, 30,000 people out there, man. You get what I'm saying? Like, how I feel to be down here?

Man, it's feel good, especially when you from Carolina. You know, this is the big thing they talk about, though. So being from Carolina, this is my first festival. First time being on Dreamville. You know, this is where all the legends be at. Yes, sir. Me, sit down with legends talking to DC on flight. Boy, you're a legend, my boy.

You know what I said? Yes. So, can you tell us a little bit about your story? Because I know you have a little bit of a traumatic story, but you turned that around is inspiration for your music. Definitely. Like I said, I'm from Hartsville, South Carolina.

Born and raised in Chirot. Right. You feel me, I've been through every obstacle. You feel me? The gunshot wounds to everything. That's how my eye like this. Got shot in the face. I graduated high school, though, for all the kids.

I graduated high school, you feel me? Got my diploma. For real, for real. Like I said, I came from the arm, the streets. My granddad really is a pastor. His son died at 17, which is my father. Oh, wow. So I just lived through the obstacle.

I live the lifestyle of what a lot of street niggies say they want to live. I hear that. So how did that big extra plug situation come about? Like, how did you fall in line with that? I was on my DC young flash shit. I just inbox this ass. He's like, Fort Whitney.

Fort Whitney. Oh, really. I got to say you there. That was up, yes. I tell you, bro, I just say, I seen you do it. I said, there ain't no damn way. I ain't fin to try it. Yeah.

You know, inboxing companies. You don't have to know what happened. What did you say when you DM then? Fuck with me. My exact words. I got this song. It sounds like you can be on it. Yeah.

He ain't read it at first. I emboss him again. Boom, the eye went down. Oh, wow. That's amazing. So explain that process because, you know, a nigga might feel like a nigga tried him when he didn't read or when he read it or he might not respond in time because they don't understand how that shit go. Yeah, I read it.

I'm going to get back to you right quick. I'm from the country, so you got to think about it, man. I got like three phones. A bunch of people have called my phone, so I know the feeling of people calling your phone. You might see it. You might don't get to it right then and there. If you see it about two or three times, you're gonna know the okay. Okay, shout out of serious.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, let me take it matter. Because niggins don't understand. We do listen to your music. Right. That's why we don't really want y'all to send a lot, because we ain't got no trouble. We're like, man, let me see what he's talking about. But then when we actually hear something that's really good, bro, like, if you're a real nigga, bro, you're going to say something, bro.

Yeah. It's just in your nature to be like, hey, a little homie, keep doing your thing. Matter of fact, it ain't knocking me if I help you for real. No. Right. Yeah, no, it ain't even stopping nothing. It ain't stopping that, man. It's a blessing.

It's a blessing. So I feel like he did that. One of my biggest songs of my career was like a blessing forever. Talk your talk. Now, coming from a small city in South Carolina, you know, I got family in Chirot. The gayness. I know y'all are hearing this. They like, that's my cubs, real talk.

Like, explain, bro, like not getting that recognition to finally getting that recognition and just stand down because you never know where it may lead you. Like I said, man, where I'm from in Chirot, it's only one Walmart in the county. It was like, and all the stores. Y'all still call them super similar. You feel, super similar. All the gas stations closed at 12. Right.

It ain't, you, it ain't nowhere to go. You're outside at 1.30. Boy, you're up to no good. You're up to no good, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I can't even lie to it. It's like a blessing, though, man. It's really a blessing coming from where I come from. It ain't nothing but like 4,000 people.

Oh, wow. So it's like, I take the same intervention, same middle. Everything. All the schools. Ain't no going to new high school. You might have one builder and raised the kids. It's the same high school. One high school, you feel what I'm saying?

One high school, one elementary, you know what I'm saying? So everybody know everybody knows everybody. So, you know, you got to be humble, you got to take it in. You got to, for real, because it can be gone in a split second. Right, yeah. I get that being from, because I'm from a small town, too. Do you feel a lot of support from your city? Oh, yeah.

Like, the mayor knows me. Everybody comes through. She's how crazy when the mayor knows you know. Yeah, I know the mayor. Hey, I know the city. Yeah, yeah, the mayor knew of the city. Yeah, yeah. Now, I've been doing for the city, though, like, before I was.

big and rapping though like donate to the schools buy the shoes and stuff like that you feel me like by the school basketball shoes or me and my partner buy the football jerse for schools and stuff like that see people don't understand like they give the kids hope bro they get the kids understanding that somebody is supporting your dream supporting your success and where you want to go because a lot of people don't understand that when they feel like they ain't got nobody they don't really want to put forth an alpha until they real dream yeah like i said I ain't want to be known for just messing up the community. I always want to give back to the community.
