They can stand. Who hit you after this drop? I know somebody hit you and been like, man, they do this shit. No, they ain't really. Real? Nobody? You've seen, it's this old shit called Cosmic Slot. And it's an HBO show based on George Clinton Ocean.

The first sketch, the aliens come down their ass for all the things. That's for all the nicks. And they say the U.S. got five days aside. Ooh, what's that? It's called Cosmic Slop. There's some old shit that came on like... That kind of five.

It's almost like a... Man, we're letting this shit burn. We're gonna keep that shit going to get it. That shit in fire. I like that shit. Fuck it. Oh, that's crazy. The old shit is trying to figure out what you do,

how to get. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm like, what you want with all the niggas, bro? What's going on? They say, don't worry about it. That's what they do. The first thing, they said, what's going to do with them?

They said, that's none of your concern. And so they say this is the president, President White. Yeah, nigger, what you care about it? Yeah, that's what they said. That's what they said. They said, we're going to get me, going to fix everything,

replenish your water, give you a limited resource, a limited fuel source, everything that's wrong with the Earthwood fix and all we ask you for is people with this much melody, right? And the president say, what's melody?

And then the alien and the ambassadors to the, like, Little shit is like all of your black people, what you would call black people. Why, you got five days, man. It's no budget and shit, but it's strong to be down. We can't even breathe this type of oxygen and shit. We got enough breathing for five days.

They give us an effort and we out there beat. And then they figure out, then they try to get niggins to want to go. The last time a motherfucker came and requested us, it didn't end to where. It didn't end to where. That's what I'm saying. Last time motherfuckers said. Hey man, give me all the black people. We ain't like what we went.

We might have to remig on. What you think the U.S. said? They probably was like, man, take them niggins. The U.S. was like, yeah. The one nigga was like, this is how much money we were. If you're going to give them money. And then that nigger realized these niggas, they're going to vote different at the house.

And they have like a hotline. Get the niggas out of here, though. That's deep. That's deep, bro. That's what I'm talking about. Like you said, that she was empty, because he's over there. They got them all out of Senegal. That ball all right in the synagogue.

Hey, man. Turn them on the land in the next time. Come on, man. Come on, man. Come on, man. But them Africans going hard, bro. I'm glad to see that a lot of that. That's a positive thing.

Like this, I ain't heard this song. in a minute, because I'd be like doing so much new music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it just take me back to original feeling I had when I wrote it. Like, man, I... That should be beautiful, bro. Yeah. It's doable.

Or it sounds so believable and doable. It's doable. I think it's happening. I think it's happy. Niggins just got to hold their nuts and believe in themselves. You know what I'm saying? It's like...

But we got believing, like, one another, though, at the same time, because it's got to be something that's a collective. And she just feel like, all right, man, we have white people just sitting on the motherfucker at the debate. Like, that they're really leaving? Right. I think they'll be sad for us.

Yeah, absolutely. I think like act like sad though, not like for a long time. Like, sad. No, but they're going to be white about it first. It's going to be like all layups at the end of the NBA. Yeah, it ain't going to be no more dumb. You know what I'm saying? It's like, man, ain't gonna be no more,

you know what I mean, no more style, no more swamish, she's gonna be bland. And they're gonna act like they don't care first. Go ahead, you'll be back. You'll be back. But just think about it, like, right, right. Like in LeBron, I only play for Zimbabwe. Fox, you wanna see this shit,

fly that shit over here. Kevin DeReyer, I only play for a goddamn Eritreel. This is what we doing. He probably gonna go over that, though. Yeah, bro, that shoulda be lit, bro. He's fuck with it. He probably do it.

Magic City come over that motherfucker. They got about 10 of them. They don't need them to come over there. Yeah, bro, we need all that type of entertainment. They already got the, they got the resources for that type of shit. They don't need no outside of thing. They got a, they got a... But I don't know if they know how...

You bring some girls from Magic City in that? We know how to run the strip play. We know how to run the strip play. It's a certain thing. Why are they so sick? Why are they so sick? In America, you eat a lot. His girls, they're not direct ones.

Yeah, that's is fat, but they lay so small. They're small. Why her feet so small? The ass is fat, but the legs, they're so small. How are you so small? You like this? This, you like this? They had a baby one.

They call out the African girl come out. They only like the American girl. With them big shiny, got down, legs. Yeah, but it's like, it's a certain way the club ran. Oh, shit, yeah, running the club black magic, but keep deep talent over there. We're gonna bring, you know, anybody all welcome. We, you know what I'm saying?

We're a tourist country, a continent, you know. Is it a country, it's Africa a continent, right? Yeah, of course. Oh, right, exactly. See? You got to be careful, you say that, wrong. I'm gonna be like, Africa is not a fucking country, it's a continent.

Yeah, it's a, it never see the African people to say that to you. It's a bunch of countries in there. Africa is the same size as Europe, Russia and China put together? Yeah. It's only little on the map. It's only little on the map.

We're gonna let you niggas know that half the world bologna y'all. Yeah. Y'all tell you, yeah. Y'all go measure that shit out yourself. I'm gonna go over there one day. I've been planning my trip. Yeah, we gotta go over there, bro. They've been asked that.

I heard Chance doing the concert over that chance. You need me to come over there with you, bro. I got you, bro. Come on, we're going to come with something. Yeah, he just said he's going to do a festival. We're going to do a festival. Come on, man. He's doing the chance.

He's doing the festival when it's next August or September or something like that. Next August. Yeah. We got time. No, for sure. You got time. I could get a car. I know somebody going to put me on something.

Yeah. In between now and that. That shouldn't be lit. I'm going to get me a goddamn major something. I want to go. As I got older, like, when I was young, I really didn't want to. go. I'd be seeing a motherfucker going

and be like they be going to see the, like, I'm, I ain't going to see it, but they'd be showing like old like slave, trade buildings and shit that shut down. Like, man, I don't want to see that, man. That's going to match my spirit up. Why? I don't, I like to see us at our best.

Take me to the pop and ass. Take me to the rich area. I want to see Joy on 23, 96. You know what I'm saying? Dropping four. I don't want to see Jordan with the Wizards. I think that's probably why they heard a lot of the shit, though, or you don't get to see it, because slaves knew.

There's a bunch of pictures somewhere of some slaves, and they're just like... Pitches. Ain't no pictures. Say something, George, bitch, bitch. Every time they try to talk to him, he's to get out of the line. Just a bunch of them. When pictures first came out,

the niggas were still... Oh, that's the movie I want to do. Like, you don't need nobody. That's the movie I want to do, like Django, too. A whole bunch of disobedient ass niggins. We, uh, we won old-ass person. We, we one really old-ass person, and two old people away from.

I'd be the only nigga that could be, have the power to write a comedy about slavery. It's a white slave owner. None of his slaves listened to nothing, he said. He bought a batch of the most disobedient. disobedient, hard-headed-ass people. You ain't never seen that, what you got? Like, they run into plantation,

but they're not listening to shit. He just, like, living there on the strength of mercy. Like, shut your bitch ass up. I pay the bills, yeah. You don't remember the bulldog? No. They're using him to, like, go get them shit, go to town and get us some cornbread.

What is cornbread? George, drive him up there, pointed out for him. No, for sure. That nigg on the voonduct. They had the slave older, that nigga. They was roasting them, that they said, I try so hard with y'all.

Nigger rode off. Man, y'all can. Mousa, this nigga reading. Hey man, welcome back to the 85-7. Come on. You think it's a game? You think it's a game. Think a game.

Do you understand the type of, People that I had to call to get in touch with, I got put on hold so long that I got hung up on twice. And then I finally got in touch with this nigga. And then he said, Loza, I'm gonna call you back. I'm in Africa. And then the call dropped. That was last year.

And then I found the number and I started the process all over again. And then just so happened by chance that I was in the mall at the right time. at the right time, at the right store, ran into somebody who put me in touch with somebody, who had went to school with somebody, who lived down the street with somebody, who had a daughter that had a friend,

at a party that was a DJ, that spent some time in college with this guy who was good friends with the people over there at Reebok. Now that part of the story ain't has shit to do with nothing. I'll just let y'all know I do got something of my original, Allen Aversons the other day, straight from Reebok. But in the midst of this journey, after I got the Reeboks,

I said, I gotta get somebody in the trap that's cold as fuck. So then I started calling all them people that I was talking about earlier. And then that shit led me to getting in touch with this dude who used to drive trucks for my uncle. He pulled up, bumping some shit, and I was like, what the fuck? What fuck is that?

He was like, boy, you don't know anything about this? That's my grandson. And then I was like rapping. He was like, no, on the drum. And then he made me listen to the song all over again just on the drums part. And the nigger that was rapping, I was like, that's my partner on that rap. But he didn't get a fuck about that. He was just trying to get me to hit a drum.

Right. But this is one of the coldest niggas in the game. We don't wrote some of the coldest verses. in the fucking world that you probably didn't even know that he did. Absolutely. And spit some of the coldies.

Come on, man. This nigga ain't never asked for nothing. He just, you know what I mean? He don't want no credit. He put the ghost in Ghost Writer. Right. None other than Atlanta's own.

Come on, man. Come on, man. Good music creator. Come on, man. One of my favorite. No dope will be sold on Sundays when he's a row. Round.

Restrained from dope it on the Sabbath. None other that. Side had Prince in this time. Yeah. I had to tell the whole story. Yeah, you had to tell you. Yeah, you got to. Yeah, I don't know what motherfuckers thinking it's just easy

to get in touch with you. Absolutely. The long rush. Yeah. He told me to throw him off a little bit in the intro. Yeah, I mean, I don't want some top secret shit. Yeah, man, you already brought us. What's this called?

Again? Palo Santo. See? Alessanto. I was about to fuck it up already. I was about to go in the store. Like that Palmetto. I was going to say, where the Sal Palo?

You ain't got no salt palmetto? This is when you put with some collective bitches and shit, they'd be having shit like this. Y'all ain't got no Paul Rodriguez? Carlo Rossi. That's the E40. Earl Stevens. I'm over here. Just a shout.

Welcome to the trap, first and foremost. I know this your first time is shit off in here, but we've been trying to put it together, man. This is your first time. some classic shit, man. Man, look around. Yeah. See, like they say, man, feast your eyes. Yeah.

Get a good look at this, man. We got a whole new trap coming. Ooh, that shit looks like the motherfucker. Whatcha call it? Boys in the Hood. That, too, with the Lord Willing album cover. Oh, come on, man. Oh, my favorite albums.

Rutel pushed it, push up on the trap one day, man. Absolutely. You know. Shit. We're talking about 85 South. I mean, that motherfuckers go all the way. I remember catching them tricks. them trails, bro.

Thank God I made it bad. Were you a real survival? Yeah, absolutely. Man, what it feels like to know that you be creating dope shit and then let somebody else get the credit for us sometime? That's the hardest shit there's an artist, though, ain't it? Oh, we really be wanting to credit sometimes. I've been that niggins since a kid, so I just be like,

sometimes it's just me being, Like, it's y'all turns, being humble. Give me one of your childhood, I'm that nigger moments. I'm that nigger moments? Yeah. Damn, I got too many of them. Shit. Okay, check this out.

Okay. Christmas. Christmas morning, right? Uh-huh. This got to be probably maybe 87, 88, maybe 86. Uh-huh. I bused outside. Brand new night rider.

Big wheel. Pellel up fast as fuck on the whole hood. slatted bitch look at them niggas pedal the fuck off no i mean you know for me i was i was in the sports growing up so you know this back back you know i could just i used to play for this team called midway park it was like the ghetto park on the east side right yeah and all my My partners went and played at this park called Redan. Okay. And at Midway Park, it was almost like a makeshift team.

Like, we were just finding kids at the grocery store. Bad news best type of shit. Yeah, absolutely. Bad news bed. Yeah. But I went to school with all my partners who played, like, good. So I used to beat their ass and pee and shit. So one day somehow we end up winning the championship with the makeshift team.

Yeah. But we like D2 though, we considered like D2. And all my buddies was like, they went to the D1 part where all the, you know, people with money and shit. So somehow I made my daddy put together a game where we got to play them. And I wouldn't necessarily say I am in the shit. I will say I have a different kind of connection with the Lord.

Yeah. That's the key, I feel like to myself. Like, I do feel like I do excel at a lot of things. But when I were young, my mama used to always be like, man, you gotta pray about shit. You gotta pray. I'm like, mom, I ain't cut the cap with the praying. Like, just make this shit happen.

Right, right, you know what I mean? But I think that was the first time, like, I remember the dudes came to the park and you know, they got the new uniform, they beating out the car. Y'all had the bull and shit on. We had the bull and shit on. We read it on, this the game.

And I look at, I look back at them, you know, at the niggas pulling in the paw and I turn around and I see my teenage, they look frightened. So I just, man, y'all tighten the fuck up. Y'all, like, it's scared of these, niggins put on their pants just like you. Nigger put on their shoulder pants, like, I'm just going in, right? So they still, like, kind of look startup.

So as we stretch it, I just started praying. I was like, God, you know, just help me and my buddies win this game. This is for bragging, right? I got to go back to school talking shit. Isn't that prayer for shit talking? No, for sure. I can't let these, nigger. Then you said this is my first time.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, so after I finished praying, and I'm like, you know, we're back clapping up. You know, you hit the motherfucking, pay, yeah. Man, I just start feeling rain drops. I'm just like, damn. And then just driving, driving about 10 seconds later, shit just starts thunderstorming.

It's so much motherfucking rain. In my head, I'm like, God, you're the greatest, because this is what it is, being a football connoisseur like I am, and the wet in the mud, ain't too much shit you could do. Now it's just like, who got the grip. And I'm a dog. Yeah.

And that was the day. After we beat their ass, that was the day I knew I was that nigga. And about, I will tell you, like, I'm writing this 30 for 30. I may need you to help me out with, but from the other team, it's like 15 of them went to the NFL. Like 15 kids from that one team I was playing

went to the NFL and we kicked their ass. And now when I knew I got a secret power. Because that kids, niggas ain't praying. Like that niggas just kids, right? I made it through life with prayer. I did some of the most miraculous shit with prayer and motherfucker would be looking at me. You just start raining out?

I swear I thought I heard that shit. Hey, is it raining outside? That's how God worked, I told you. I told you, I'm special, bro. I told you, bro. That was right there, right there just let you know. The Lord provided him with props. He just did the same things.

He just did the same things that I told you. What if he was like, shit. Nah, he didn't say that. That's why that motherfucker raining. I'm for real. You're telling him too much. Nah, that's cold. So that was, that's my, when I realized, okay, I'm special.

I got, I was like psych, you know, it's like psychops with the glasses though. Now I know how to hit the button like z-z-z-z. See, a lot of motherfuck gotta give, but they can't control it. Sometimes it's like Cyclops without the glasses. That shit just go everywhere. All right.

But then you got that motherfucker on, it just, you know, putting you down. 85 South Show, look at the best show in the world, y'all know what to do. Come on, man, yeah, I love this shit. That show on the motherfucking world. The number one black TV show that's not on TV. So let's start the long way, man.

What was your introduction to the music? My introduction to music, I would say, okay, I couldn't listen to rap growing up. So I had to sing in the choir. I sung in the chorus. I snuck and played in the band. So I think during all those just trying new shit, trying to be in there, everything, I just kind of started liking it from there. You couldn't listen to no rap, period.

No rap. I bought my first rap CD probably when I was in the 10th grade. What was it, remember? Now, I mean, actually, you know, when you go to skate reading the club, you know, you playing you just play you know I still know the shit right you can't listen to that but I couldn't listen to at the crib but I was just a problem child you know I mean on the side of my you know excellence in sports but I think what really got me into was it was an influx of New York niggas coming down around

1998 99 swearing they can rap better everybody in the world and they was demolishing the niggas at my school you know little cafeteria battles and They're just going, you know, they're just going crazy on us, you know what I'm saying? It's just like, I'm just getting frustrated. Yeah. It'll just be all the way, and I'm just looking at the shit, I'm just getting frustrated. So one summer, I went home, actually a dude from Philly taught me how to write my raps, like make them in bars.

And I think from there, I kind of just like, start diving in different music, you know, like around, like I said, until Gray, I start being able to pick like Snoop shit, you I'm a late to the party. You know what I'm getting? Nah, shit, I'm just Jake Diller fucking mystical. I'm just trying to get as much to consume as much as I can. And then I just became addicted. And I couldn't read growing up.

That was another thing. I wasn't a good reader. See, I was talented, but that's how you used to get at me. Like, you know, I'd be clad clown shit, and the teacher would be like, well, read paragraph four. Oh, shit. I don't know. You had to point at the word.

This is the, see, you can't read, but she in here. Acting a damn fool. So when I realized I started writing my rap, I was like, damn, I don't got enough words. So I just started looking at vocabulary word. I'm just, that was my way of like getting words together because everybody was kind of learning the same shit. So if I come spin it in a battle,

and it would be like, oh, this thing just said, photo sentences was a photo synthesis. It's like, oh, this thing is crazy. You know what I'm saying? Right, right. So I just started doing that, and then the town just started hearing about me. I met my best friend named Butchie, and he had a whole studio at the crib. And then his people was like rich for us.

It was like, they was like bawling. They used to hang with Diddy and Jagged Edge and all that shit back when they were on fire. So they used to just started taking me to the studios. They were like, man, rap that shit you rap for? And I rapped it one time. one time they're like man this thing the second coming to park or some shit i heard that and i was just like okay trying to take this shit serious so i got my first real like record deal like my offer was like at 15 16 so i mean you asked me when i knew i was special it kind of started young

but it always started with like you know being myself being a spiritual guy like i could just I kind of just caught on to it better than my partner. My partner was on it too, but I just called it. Right. Then I just became like, start going around the city, motherfuckin' little John wanted to sign me, Luda. And then I just was like, okay, now here's my chance. So even when I got in the street,

it was just like to conjure up a little paper to stay together until I get me like my real situation. So I never even looked at. I used to be upset that I had to be in the streets. Like, my partners used to be like, man, get your ass in the car. Like, cause it was almost like, you got to go, like, rap, bruh. We have real conversation, but rap, bruh, is like a role to, like, almost destruction. The ones that do make it out, it's extremely blessed, but the, especially in Atlanta, the, the plight you got to go through to be a rapper, bruh.

Why, that shit is deep. She's deep, bro. But that's my life, you know what I mean? That's kind of how I got in the rap, so a lot of times I just tell those stories and then it just come out how they come out. Yeah. That's what it is.

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get... so sucked in by this man and in thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

Just deep, bro. Just thinking about it, brother. I entertain a period, though. I used to growing up, bruh, niggas was like, I used to have to fish fight my partner because he'd be like, you know, don't want to go rob this joint with us. Like, nah, bro, we just walked past there with the same clothes on. Y'all about to just put a mask on.

With the same shit, we just went over there with bare face. I'm not going on that one. You know what I'm saying? You gotta go to the yard. Just almost like, so it's like, it's deep, bro. It's like, it's super dope, like you said, getting into music, but I remember growing up, I used to be like, they used to be like, man,

you can't rap if you ain't did, nah. It's like when you're 14, like, you're just getting into a nigga, like, man, you can't, you know, so you got to show your, show what you about in the streets. So it was like, man, all right, man, give me the pack, bro. Damn. It was like, terrible friends. Yeah, like, you would think about it, but I were part of some shit. So it was like, niggas was like, man, you're going to represent us. And then you got to be at least authentic enough to really be able to say this shit.

This is back when they was grooming us to be something different than what we should be as kids, you know? And I tell people all the time, like, I experience the streets with a sober mind, so it hit different. You know what I'm saying? Like, sometimes they be drugged at they don't really be even knowing what they do.

They know them to the feeling of the shit that really going on. Right. To they be, like, sitting in that cell and they got down itching that shit, get the sobering up. You're like, I'm in here for what? I did what?

What the fuck was I thinking? Right. So, I mean, I think that kind of just conjured up, Like I said, the feeling and emotion of being the rapper and just going through those things as a young man, I just was like, man, I want to put this shit on wax. And then I just started taking it serious enough,

just end up getting situations. First situation was with, first real situation was with Shown Up with Jazzy Fay and Neely. Yeah. Yeah. That's dope. That was my first. I was in a rap group, you know what I mean?

So I used to be in a rock group, get some shit with them, and then that shit kind of fell through on something. I had a group, I was in a group called Hulham. Huddling, back in the day, y'all. That was like my first situation. Show love records. Yeah, show love.

I remember when they had, like, Lloyd, Cherry, like the group Cherry and shit. Yeah. I don't know if you remember them, but yeah. They talked to shit, boys in the hood. You know what I mean? I was young back then. I was the shit.

That's dope. So you've been around the game. Yeah, I've been in this shit, bro. shit, bro. Been shaking and grooving out here, man. Bro, you ever wrote some shit so cold you wouldn't sell it? You're like, no, fuck that. I'm keeping this.

Yeah. A lot of the time. I think a bar, when I'm writing somebody else, something, like, nope, you can't have that. You can't hear that. That's too much. Yeah, that's too much for you. Yeah.

You don't need what to do with it. Yeah. Yeah. If you knew what to do with it, you would go on. You would go. You would do. This thing. No, for sure.

This ain't for you. For sure, no, for sure. Bro, you got a homie. You got a partner that's up a whole couple billion right now. Couple. If he heard you say that, he'll feel disrespected. Right, you gotta get that. Who up a lot of billions right now?

A lot of. He's funny, like, no, it's not two, it's not a couple. Because multi-nigues, I'm up 10. Multi-billion. Ten point. Yeah, I sold everything. See, I'm at a 20 piece. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I sold my future, me. Future's fucking trillion now. Like, all right, bro, you got it. You ain't asked you what your future cost. How much your future cost? I ain't, I ain't counted you. You're not saying the shit, right. Nah, man, I seen, bro, put that together, bro.

I ain't never seen the nigga wield the universe like that. Yeah. That nigga wield that motherfucker. Yeah. And when I met him, he was, you know, he was talking about he he ain't had, like he wasn't in his best place, because he was spending all his own money. Like, so he was like,

nah, man, I gotta, these folks gotta believe in me. I hadn't tapped out on this shit. And to go from, you know what I mean, tapping out to like, absolutely, that nigga will the universe. I was like, bro, you're a cold motherfucker. That sounds like, similar to you know what I'm saying? What you were saying earlier.

No, that's my, that's why that's my dog. Like, yeah, he's my big brother, bro, he went through this, It's so funny because what he was going through at Rockefeller was like similar what I was going through in my place. Like, I just wanted to rap about what I did my normal, like, cause I remember we used to be this geyser

who used to be around us, right? I mean, one time, niggas first rapping. You know, motherfuckolde shot everything. You know, we sold this thing. It shot the whole house down, put it back together, blew it up again. He built his mama's house back, blew it up again. He's like, that niggas hit the,

hey, man, everybody pull your pistol out. Like, this is the first thing he told us. So luckily me and my best friend, we just, we bought our pistols around the same thing. So, you know, we pulled out a little, he's like, everybody pull your dope out. So I don't know what he's talking about, I'm just, he like a new nigga around the crew,

just an old, swore penitentiary nigga, like, but he's been hearing us rapping all day. So you know, we can pull out their little weed and shit. Nigger, poor, he just asking you, he's pulling your car. Niggins, if you ain't got it, stop rapping. Like, we were lying so much, it was frustrating to him

because he didn't kill so many and sold so much dope and, like, it was the funniest shit, bro. Like, and when you think about it, now, my nigga, stop rapping that shit. So it was like, me, y'all got $3,000 total. It's serious. Where's your kilos?

I ain't, I ain't never seen you with no kilos. No, no, no, no way. Where the drug? Not weed Drug, don't The kids Bro We're like 14, 15

Man, that nigga got so upset with us, bro Where this big million dollar How's you're talking about? That's what you kill all them people with? You got four bullets, yeah, man

Three of them too big That shit Go jam Your gun ain't loaded You got four different kind of bullets in that clip You're gonna kill

every goddamn about including yourself. Nah, for sure, that's how it was. Damn, so it was like, man, stop rapping about that shit. So it was like, fast forward was like, my partner started getting deeper into it and I kinda ain't go as deep,

but it was like they were mad that I wasn't gonna go. Like, why you ain't gonna put in this work with us? Like, bro, these folks offer me record deal, I'm 15, 16, like, I don't, that's what y'all do. Yeah. Now, if I ain't had no record deal, okay, I'll be in the car with y'all.

But this ain't really. So it just kind of caused the friction, too, growing up. So it was just like, when I seen Yeh going through it, like, you know, these street dudes kind of like, man, just make beats. Because that was his thing. You know, he was a so-called backpacker or, like, positive rapper. So, you know, that was something that we related to. He was from Chicago. I was from Atlanta, but my best friend was from Chicago.

So all his people's was, like, kind of who raised me. I was just moving around with them. So we kind of connected on that. And then I was just dope-haired rapping. So he liked dope rappers, so that's how I kind of. And that's a relationship, like, I tell people all the time, bro, I, bro can do no wrong for me. And he's just pushing the envelope.

So I kind of let brother do his thing. You know, motherfuckers be upset about, you know, they'd be asking me, whin, check, let's think it, like, bro, what is you talking about? Like, this is this man plight, this man dream. This is man's story. Yeah. Yeah.

That's my big bro. That's my big bro. Love him to death. Hell yeah. Some shit you can't explain. Whatever it is, the shit working. Shit work. Fuck it.

where you could just ride around and meet fine women in traffic. Remember of P. Street? We used to go to Pee Street to be on the strip. Oh, man. Atlanta in here. Yeah, we used to be on the strip, bro. Yeah, you said who's from Atlanta here, nobody moved.

Yeah, I mean, I guess ain't no one. But back in the day, we used to be bright, hit P Street, could get in the club, but we used to be hanging out the window. Man, missed them days. Just random, fine-ass traffic women in Atlanta. Yeah, sure. Shit ain't got crazy, though.

This old sitting in a chain. They got shit everywhere now. Yeah. It's good to see to grow. And the progression. Yep. Welcome back to the 85 South Show. Hey, yeah.

Hell yeah, the number one show to heat up some food, to eat, to watch this shit. Yeah, we're perfect, right. We're having a high-level conversation as well, so I'm getting into some shit. And you got the good goddamn Southillow burning. Palacinto. Yeah, Policento.

Yeah, Policento. Like the horse? Alicento. Like Alejandro. Apalicento. What else you've been up to, my dope? I've been doing, you know, writing scripts, man. Finishing my album, really.

Story Egot on the way. I put out the EP. I'm just waiting for a couple more samples to get cleared. And I'm gonna be ready to go. Yeah. So, you know, that's how I've been doing screenwriting and write raps, you know. Peanut Button and Jellas? Mixing these songs, yeah.

I went back to the essence, you know. I was doing a lot of writing for the past seven years, so I want to just spend some time on myself. Yeah. How's your mental health? Great, man. They said we gotta start asking each other that is black men. Right, you know, man. So we'll take a segment just to speak on mental health.

And mental health is important. I think, you know, we don't be knowing we have it. Niggas just, like, I tell people all the time, like, I have this thing when I say, you know, they'd be like, man, you know, I'm a street nigger. Every black male is a street nigger. Because you ain't going to have that much time to tell the police you not. They're going to treat you exactly how it is.

you know what I mean so a lot of things that we traumatized about this should be just grown up you know grow up with you from your parents because they it was hard on them so they did the same thing like I kind of like it shit I think it should be some adversity but you know it is an important subject in our community but I'm just you know I'm a push through me I love it see how you can tell you I love the See, I was raised in the church, so I got mental health. You know what I'm saying? I know how to ask and shall receive.

And once he done done so many great things with me, I kinda, even when I'm in a slump, I know I'm gonna get out of it. You'd have made that example too many times. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of times, you know. So you're saying your faith in the Lord is what kept your mental health intact.

Yeah. Basically what you're saying. Sure. Wow, that's amazing. That's amazing. Man, I've been in shootouts praying. You better? Yeah, yeah.

Plead on shit, man. What you pray for? They're good at the gym. Lord, don't let them cheer, man. To keep me alive. Keep me alive. Keep me alive. Yeah.

Real, man. Like, you gotta think my last situation, bro. Mofa, I hit the curb. You need dumping that, man. I hit the curb. Hit a tree flipped three times, bro. The sunroof shatter. That's the only way I got out in time before the knee came back up to the car.

I'm like, this shit, Craig. I'm panicking. I'm like, I'm like sideways like this. You get what I'm saying? So I'm stuck in the seat belt, the passenger door on the ground. I'm like, and I see like through the window the niggas making the youth. And something told me, bro, I'm gonna tell you real talk, bro. I said, bro, you're an athlete.

You can get away from these niggas. I just breathed, hit the button, boom, fell to the roof, crawled through the motherfucker, sunroof, took off, jumped a few gates, hid in the motherfuckin' woods, so the pole came. Grace of God, bro. By we're praying, like, bro, don't let these four hit me. I don't know what these niggas on.

Damn. I don't let these niggins hit me in real life. God put it together for me. Yeah. And then I got stitches in the middle, both of my hands, right? Just for him to let me know it was him. I had stitches right here, and I got stitches down the middle.

What was his scars? Yeah. Shit. Street shit, though. Right. You know what I mean? For real, shit worked. You got to believe in something,

whatever you believe in. Just got to have belief in something. Yeah. You know what people all the time, man. As long as you get there. However you get there. Yeah. You gotta believe.

Sometimes don't be your timing, so, you know. You know, that's why I'm at with it, bro. Bless, my mental, I'm cool, you know what I mean? Yeah. I just move a different way and just stay positive. Sure. Yeah, I see why you're writing shit. I see y'all in good moves, you know what I'm saying?

That's kinda y'all job. You know, y'all are medicine in a way. A comedian is a form of medicine. Music, it's a form of medicine. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Lafter is the best medicine. Absolutely.

Mm-hmm, for sure. That's why I do the shit I do on this show. Sometimes I just look at the camera and just call them, you fish-hat titty-head bitch, so people can just break the tension and just let them look. Hey, we are here, we have arrived, you feel me? No, for sure. Hey, you know by black people's standards,

you can't even laugh and be sick. Uh-uh, as soon as you laugh. You're sick, and you start laughing. You ain't sick no more when you laugh's like, yeah, yeah. Once that giggling starts, you better. But think about it, when you're sick and you're at the crib, all you want to do is sit there and watch some funny shit. Yeah, you just, you know what I mean?

Turn on 85 South. Go crazy. Hell yeah, because this is this show right here, we're gonna help black families get back together. I'm talking about. People who ain't spoken years. You named it, yeah. You have some statistic.

Right, the research. 75% of black people. Give me one. Give me one. You said 75% of the black community. Has, I don't know. You would say some kind of percentage of people. So you're going to tell me that in a recent survey,

91% of the black people they interview prefers 85 South Show over conventional news outlets. Yeah, for sure. It's big facts. I don't make up nothing. You can be yourself, man. There ain't no restrictions. It's the number one black show that black women get their hair braided to.

Oh. For a black men recently re-entering society from doing crimes that they were falsely accused of. number one show amongst them you know what really separates us from the rest of the people the variation of topics and subjects that we're able to cover in such a short matter of time absolutely just like being here with you we didn't talked about faith we didn't talk to about music we didn't talk about real-life shit whoever didn't catch it it's not us it's definitely not us. We shouldn't have this, we shouldn't have to change our teaching style because they're not catching them. Like we, we in here, we're covering all bases. Where else can they

get side high, uncut, talking real life shit? Yeah. Ain't nobody asked you to, nothing crazy. No, this family, though. That's what I'm saying. You know, I get the generic questions, you know. So, so tell us about good music. What do you guys, how? going on over there. Right. Damn, good music is like, damn, this continued or something. Right. That shit is right.

For My Heart Podcasts in Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so... sucked in by this man and in thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

Man, you got to go to Mississippi.

No, I've been to Mississippi before. No, you got to go to my part. I went to work. You got to come to Oxford then. I think we was in Oxford. I think we did a show on Oxford. No, stop playing. That's Old Mississippi.

I think none of what I'm thinking about it. Oh, for real? Yeah, Eli Manning, motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't from Oxford, but he was out there. I know he was playing, man. He put on for the city?

No, he don't. Damn. I mean, he did. At the time he did. Yeah. My partner used to go to a school out there with a historical black, Mississippi Valley. Yeah. He was going to Mississippi Valley.

Yeah. What is it? That's right there? In the middle of the country, so they were crazy. Oh, okay. Deuce McAllister used to put on from Mississippi. Oh, yeah. He was cold.

Eli Manning, he repped. Yeah. He always showed much love. Yeah, man, it's just one of them places. Like if you go there and you spend any amount of time there, whether you hated a little bit, you will always go back. No, for sure. Just, you know, your country cousins, man.

It's just warm down there, motherfucker. You get a lot of peace and relaxation. The pussy is nice. The food is great. The weather hit a little different. After about, and you know, it's, it can be. You get some buggy. It can be.

It can be. That's why we eat so much because we have to be distracted from external factors. Somebody told me it's still a little, not still a little, but it got some racial divide. It's just as much racism as it is everywhere else. That's why people, that's what people in this, like from Mississippi been yelling for the longest. Right. What is it? No, I'm gonna keep you the butt with you.

I know it's gonna be controversial. But when, being from Atlanta, bro, I never. really experienced direct racism. Well, that's because you've been around niggas all the time. That's what I'm saying, like, I ain't really like everybody, my bus drive, the lady at the windies, the clothes. That's the thing, doing everything. Yeah, it's black people everywhere, so I ain't really like.

See, that's the difference between. Unless you know, we pull you up, but you just think, that shit is knowing. See, that's, I think the difference between Mississippi and everywhere else is there is, there isn't like no diversity. It's just black people and white people for the most part. That's what I'm saying. So it's just like, of course it's going to be.

Black people. Yeah, so it's like, of course it's going to be like a whole lot more incident because it's all that it is. Right, all right. So everything going to be like racial. Right, right, right. But it's just as, Georgia is way more racist than Mississippi. For real?

Yeah, for real. Fuck you mean. I mean, I did get, even you being from Atlanta, shit. I didn't get locked up in Soapentin, but I had a sack on me. So it was like, I mean, they might have pulled me off. No, but this the thing about it. They weren't the, you wasn't the only motherfucker out there with a sack on you,

but that's all they're looking for is a nigga with a sack on them. So yeah, that's racial as well. I mean, yeah. Think of all these places that are right around the city of Atlanta that'll take your ass to jail for nothing. Get caught out here in Clayton County with your mother. Leave your license at home, nigga.

Right. You ain't gotta be doing shit, get pulled over and leave your license at home. This shit gonna turn it to a 24-hour investigation. Yeah. Take them to jail. until we figure out who he is. Yeah, I'm telling you who I am.

Yeah, Clayton County. Yeah, get caught fucking around over there in DeKalb County. But you know, Clayton County used to have a husband and wife judge and shit. They used to be sending a nigga down the road, boy. Oh, man, they find some shocking shit out every day in Georgia that don't nobody say shit about.

No, you're right, but I'm just saying, like, direct, like, you nigger, I've never experienced. Right through Stone Mountain and be out there at the right time. Stone Mountain. Right through there. Go to the actual mountain. Go to the actual mountain. At the time that, yeah, don't go at tourist hours.

It definitely ain't your local neighborhood farmers. We need to shave that shit down and make it my face. That's the type of. racism you ignoring though. You from over there and say you ain't experiencing. On a horse. Yeah, and then they're gonna tell you the story.

You see that black man on the horse? He was killed right here at Stone Mountain by some white men. He came here at five o'clock to take some pictures of his horse. They tied that nigga to the back of the horse and drug them to the top of the mountain. Now this mountain's haunted by the spirit

of that nigga and that horse. No, for sure. Georgia races is fuck. Why are you thinking so many police around this bitch? It's black people out here, even if- Getting money tan. It ain't- You're tearing this shit up a little bit too now. This shit getting out of hand.

I'll just sell this shit they ain't supposed to sell. What's the worst grocery store? I'm gonna take the worst grocery store. Pigley Wiggly. No, don't say that. If you can find one that's still right here. Don't say that. Don't say that.

Bro. I used to go to put it. I want to put it. I'm not eating this. It's only a few. Held the hood down. I'm not eating this meat. I'm not eating that, bro.

I ain't eating that, bro. I won't allow it. Food line always let us down. We always got to spoil meat out of food line. The pigly wiggly bruntie, I ain't doing Win Dixie. We ain't going for it. Win Dixie is a racist ass name too. Win Dixie.

Yeah. We want Dixie to win. We want Dixie to win. My grandma will be shopping in that dog, my Piscolos. Grocer stores don't even smell like grocery stores no more. They usually, yeah. They used to have a little smell like food. Smell them like chemicals now.

With that too. You used to smell like food and brown paper bags. Man, which door did Rick Ross walk out of? You was ready to go? No, I just wanted to know. He tried to play in his escape. This thing is trying to figure out. I'm just looking out.

This is out. This is the thing about, you see how we sitting here right now just talking? Now, just imagine, like, Rick Ross, he walked back through that way. They said he's schooled. But we never saw him. You never saw Rick Ross.

We never asked anybody who was. If I asked anybody who was there this night, multiple people will tell you. I'm trying to figure it out now. I'm like, I ain't know. It was just like he walked out, but he has this, he must have the softest walk because there's not a lot of ruckus or noise.

It was uninterrupted. He was out of, I don't know how he did this shit. He was out of everybody's eye line. Wait a minute, wait a minute, you saw him here? There wasn't a person in this building that was aware that he had already left. Okay. You saw him when he was here?

Okay, this is what I'm saying. When he stood up and he walked off, so he walked off right through here and he cut in front right here. Damn, y'all gotta cut that on camera. I might wanna do a Disney movie one day. I don't think they're gonna, all right. Whatever, but what I'm saying is,

he walked through that. Want to do a Disney. When he did his shit. And we just never saw him again. So our last visual of him was him going. We never saw him leave. So y'all didn't see him when he came right here. Let me tell you something about my experience with Ross, man.

He was one of the most genuious people. It was, on my come up, there's two people that I felt like was the most genuine artist. It was Wiz Khalifa and Rick Ross. They was just like, damn, like, you know, sometimes motherfuckers don't want you to, like, open up for them and they feel like he rap too well or get on the song and shit.

Like, Ross just was like, man, I love, you, bro, let me get you on my album, bro. On the, um, Mayback Music first, the first album, I was on that with, uh, Wale, um, and him. But, uh, he's always been a good guy, man. He always had great spirits. I mean, when I first flew to Hawaii, when I first met Yeh, I seen Ross walking out, bro.

I was like, it's, this shit real. Yeah. This shit real, bro. Yeah, that was. Yeah, that was. Yeah, I was, I was still on the high. And then when I seen Ye, it was like surreal. It's like, this ain't yay.

Hey, nigga, this ain't gay. But then you know what I knew it was real? When I seen Amber Rose, I was like, oh, this shit real. This shit real. So I was like, good thing. I think that shit went perfectly, though. How else could it have happened?

Nobody can, nobody else can do that shit. It was iconic. Yeah, it was a moment. Get on legendary shit. What if he said everything that he wanted to come When he wanted to come drop on us, I'm just like, I'm gonna let them little niggas feast on that. When it get too deep.

Right. Right. He might have said everything he wanted to say. What if something came up? I think what fucking, this is the theory we came up with. He fucked around and accidentally hit the button on the watch and the helicopter showed up. So he had to leave.

Once you call him, you gotta go. Yeah, okay. Got to go. Too much. Go back and forward. You gotta call the airport, let him know you in the air. Highly to get mad, duh. Yeah, yeah.

And sure. And, yeah. For sure. Things happen. What can you do? Iconic, man. I was beautiful. You think he gonna be the last one?

We can't wait to get some more people up in this motherfucker that might, may or may not walk out. No, no. I wonder who's gonna walk out next, goddamn. Who's next? Who's gonna be the first person to say, you know what? You shouldn't ask me that goddamn shit about my ingrown foot and walk out. Right. It's all good.

Right. Because you know what? Don't give a fucking who walks out. Do you know who shows up? They don't never talk about who pull up, though. We all gonna pull up. Yeah, talk about that shit. 85 South, man.

We got to pull up to them motherfucking. We didn't have over 6 million guests on this show. And you want to talk about one? What made y'all come up with the name 85 South? Man, weed. Weed. No, I'm just bullshit. It's just that, man, you know, if you think about it,

like 85 South just running. like straight through the city. Yeah, straight through the city. It's right in the heart of the city, man. So, you know, we just wanted to make sure that we throw some, you know, throw some attributes in there to let them know that, you know. No, for sure.

You know? Kind of let them know where we, you know, what we're from and where we came over, you know, with our move and shit like that. No, for sure. Genius, man, I love it, man. Yeah. Love it.

That's what this is about. Shide to D.C., they're still on here, right? No, they actually moved on to the page. I'm just fucking with you. We just really had a show so everybody's still all over the place. Chico, I think he had a show in Vegas or some shit in DC. He was still in LA, you know, Hellen's in Bidding.

You know, it was just, people look at the episodes and be like, ooh, what they had? Like, bro, we already discussed this yesterday. I'll be on I sent DC a record. Yeah. DC, I need you to finish that record for me, bro. It's gonna be five. He probably already did.

Yeah, he's talented, bro. Very much so. He's a typical Atlanta nigga, bro. He played the drums, dance, rap, football. It's like, yeah, he's from Atlanta. Singing the choir, I already know who you is. Right. That's Bible Belt shit.

You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Hell you go. Sure. Well, look, man, I know that's your first time in the trap, this trap. Most is my last. Don't let it be, don't let it be.
