Starting point is 00:08:20 I got a very special. guests that they stopped through the trap today. One of the hardest rap was out of Atlanta. Yeah. Like the real Atlanta. Really? Okay. Very controversial at the moment.
Starting point is 00:08:34 She really does her thing. And, you know, I really feel like she's one of them ones that's going to take over one of these, you know what I'm saying? Because she ain't in nobody lane. She got her own thing, man. I want to welcome to the trap. Be a real. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Oh, world. Yeah. Man, before we even talk any more shit, just know, over here at the 85 South Shell, we love what you doing and we support your movement and it's just dope as hell to see you getting it out the mud and doing it, how are you doing it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:04 How all this gets started? What did your music journey begin? Well, I started making music like for real, for real, for real when I was like seven. And my sisters had a little group called 3SD and I used to be the songwriter. Then my auntie told me I didn't know how to sing, so I had to take my talents on what else,
Starting point is 00:09:23 and I started rapping when I was 12. Shout out to your auntie for that bad, that badass good advice. She could have broke your spirit. She did. Damn. Because I thought I knew how to sing for real friend. And then when I got 12, that's when I started making raps.
Starting point is 00:09:40 And I used to write like these songs about girls. I used to be beefing with in school and middle school. Now, why would anybody be beefing with you? I talk a lot of shit. Oh, that could happen. That's probably why I stayed in so much beef growing up. Yeah, like, yeah. And then when I got 17, I was in college, I mean, high school.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I was in 12th grade, and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. And then I was looking up, like, female rappers and stuff. And it was like, it's only one female rapper in the game right now, and it's Nikki. She's been in the game for a long time, but anybody else. So I was like, oh, the door wide open. Like, let me go ahead and get in there. So I went to college for one year, then I dropped out. Me too.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Started up there. Sometimes you got to go to college to know that you ain't supposed to be there. Yeah, that's why I be saying you got to go there to see what you want to do for real. I always tell people that just go because you might like it, but you might not. Yeah, some people need to wait until they're a little bit older because you'll be more serious about it. Like, I would be a dope-ass college student now because I would give a fuck. Yeah. But back when I didn't give a fuck, I ain't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Exactly. I was distracted. Smoking, heavy parties, going. going to parties. I feel like they motivated me though, like when I was there and then once I found out I didn't want to do it, like I just dropped out. For real?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Fuck it. Yeah, and I just got on the internet and I had just started going viral on the internet and shit. Man, jump in here. Let's get it, man. What's up? Why you look like Jay Cole? Everybody say that, man.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Jay Cole looked like me, I'm older than you. Okay. What's up? What's up? How you doing? Good. Good. Good to see you.
Starting point is 00:11:20 What's been up, though? Man, same on same. What's up, babe? Hey, you already know. Come on, man. You got the whole city. Huh? I told you, I told her you was en route.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here. What you were saying? He had the whole city and the friends. Yeah. Yeah. I like that, though. Hold up, we got to get back to the story. So you're about to drop out of college?
Starting point is 00:11:39 I did drop out. Okay, shout out to that. See, yeah, I did too. I did too. I did, come on. Yeah. You got to go to learn something. You got to learn to learn that they don't know
Starting point is 00:11:49 They don't know what to teach you. Exactly. They don't know what to teach you. They're not stupid. You'd be out there taking classes that she didn't even going to school for a life. Come on, man. They're just not really getting entrepreneurship as like something that people can pursue it.
Starting point is 00:12:01 I didn't even know that. That should have been had that. Come on. I would have probably still been in there and getting my master's. Oh, wait, this is it. This the master's right now. Once you make it, that's your degree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:15 This pay more than I feel like college anyway. It do. Because I had, when I, when I, when I, And I started working at Canary Bread. It was a lady there that had like went to school for like eight years. And we had the same job as a cashier. Damn.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And skills ain't translated. Yeah, exactly. I'm happy a little shit. You gotta get out of that. But it's the experiences. That's life. Yeah, you learn more socially just how to be a person, independent, how not to take no four hands.
Starting point is 00:12:41 That's what I learned. I went to a HBCU. Yeah, me too. Where you went? Savannah State. Savannah State. That's what sucks. Because they'll tell you no quick.
Starting point is 00:12:48 They'll tell you no fast. Fast is hell. Yeah. And then come to find out the person that told you know ain't even the person in charge or what's going on. Say in no. Yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Got to drop out. Shout out to all the college dropouts. Not y'all club. Yeah, because it's like, all you can go. See, if it worked for you. Y'all went to the HBCU. I feel like that's a flex. But I went to a historically black community college and I feel like that's not smoke on enough.
Starting point is 00:13:18 smoking only know. I'm talking about the community college where a lot of niggas go. Right. When you went to? It's called Northwest Community College. This is Oxford? Well, the one I went to is, I went to the branch. They're all they everywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It was down the street in my house. It's only two of them. Don't fucking laugh. Maybe three. Maybe three, because they got a nursing school, too. They got a nursing school. But it's very respected in the northern parts of Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I got you. Football team is magnificent. Oh, they got a football team? Yeah, because they get all the players who won't have the good grades that can go to the. Last chance, you. First chance. If you fuck this up, then you could go to last chance.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Yeah, yeah. Shout out to my school that I almost graduated from. So now you then dropped out. Now you're messing with the music heavy. Yep. When did you start feeling like, hey, this could be something? As soon as I dropped off, that's the funny... As soon as I dropped out, that's the final part,
Starting point is 00:14:19 because it's like, as soon as I dropped out, I got right on the internet and started going viral, they're saying something, like, on for my music. That's how people be like, oh, I'm ready. She been doing this for a long time. She ain't popped off yet. But I'm like, a lot of people be doing music for a long time, and they take a minute to pop out,
Starting point is 00:14:35 but it's just, I've been in the spotlight since I started. So, you know what I'm saying? They've been watching my journey for the longies, so that's why they say that. But as soon as I started, I was viral. Yeah, those people, though, you know, it takes, what, what they say, 10 years? Yeah, it takes, yeah. Like, a lot of people that would be, like, just popping, they think they're popping overnight,
Starting point is 00:14:54 but they've been working, like, seven, eight years, like, just releasing music and stuff. Writing songs for people? Yeah. Stuff like that. But that's what it takes, though. You've got to learn the music business. Exactly. If you want to be successful in it, anybody can.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yeah, because it's just caught right in and to go, well, you're going to miss a lot of times. Yeah, you're going to miss, you're going to get robbed. Exactly. Exactly. I can't wonder with no money to show for it, but if you learn the music business and how many different ways it is to make money off of music, you're good for life.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Yeah. And you got a good lane because you just makes the business with the virus. Like you said, you started off going viral. So that's something just kind of, you always kind of know. How to get the people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah. Yeah. So how's it being though now that, now that you know that you didn't put your time in and now that the world is watching you? It's a little scary sometimes. It's very, because people can be very weird. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Yeah. Yeah. And people, like, a lot of people think that I'd be liking, like, a lot of tension everywhere I go, but I really don't. Because I'm anti-social, and I'm a little shy. So, like, when a lot of people would be, like, watching me and shit, like, I'd go sit down somewhere. You were in the spotlight, like, you know, but I feel you, though. You're, yeah. I ain't on all the time.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. When you were performing, you don't want to be on all the guy. Exactly. But you gotta be, people gonna be like, oh, she's rude, she got attitude. Can't be tired. It can never be some regular human shit. You can't be a human once they look at you
Starting point is 00:16:21 like a celebrity, that human shit going out of the way. Yep, you're supposed to feel exactly how they feel. You better feel how I want you to feel. I'm happy to see you. You ain't happy to see me? Exactly. I'm happy to see you better get happy. Man, my dog just died.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Smile! I hate when they ask to take a picture and then you get in the picture and you're smiling and they're not so it looked like you're happy to be in the picture. Like you asked for the picture. And that's what they capture is saying. This Nick's going to ask me for a flip.
Starting point is 00:16:54 No idea. Hell day. You see the picture. Hey, me and a fan. What? Hell dead. Hey, Killer Mike may do take a post down because he posted a pick with Killer Mike.
Starting point is 00:17:08 and was promoting his business. Like Killer Mike was promoting the business, too. Killa Mike was like, hold on, man. I ain't never did business with you, bro. Don't put me in a picture. She fucked me crazy. Hey, man. Put the man number on his t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Like, you really had it on his shirt. Like, he's going to be. Like, how about it's saying? They take me too far. You get one of, uh... It's a mixtape DJ somewhere with me doing a drop for him. I don't know who he is. What you want?
Starting point is 00:17:37 You know how they'd be like, hey, man, let me get me. get a drop right quick and you never see hear from them again. I feel like you used to do a lot of drops. I know. I know. That's why. They're probably just waiting on something good to happen before they start using it. Wait till you blow up.

Starting point is 00:19:05 Yeah, I keep walking. Yeah, I keep walking. You're on the other side of the street. Yeah, so I ain't about to do all that. And I'd be paranoid anyway, so I ain't gonna walk to nobody. Yeah. Well, that's dope, man. Either way, man, you gotta love the fans.

Starting point is 00:29:55 violated his probation. Go around the motorcycle? Because he got caught on the video on popping a wheelie. He ain't he get arrested for it or nothing. It was on the video, am I right? Yeah. And they were like, boy, you ain't supposed to pop in the wheel.
Starting point is 00:30:08 What? It's illegal to have too much fun when you're black. They hate to see that. That's shit weird. Don't act like you like nothing. Yeah. When you're having a good time, act like you're not enjoying yourself. That shit is weird.
Starting point is 00:30:20 They hate to see you happy. They'll find some shit. Somebody need to go change the law for real. That's the crazy part about it. You can have to change so many of them to change one. Yeah. And they make up shit every day that we don't even know is the law.
Starting point is 00:30:36 The tricky is you gotta change your way yet. Exactly. So we change the little stuff in Atlanta. Like, you know, an ounce, they're supposed to let you slide on that. So you just gotta do shit where you are. Yeah, you got more than an ounce. They should at least get you a ticket, because I don't give a fuck who you are. You don't really need to be out here with more than an ounce.
Starting point is 00:30:54 That's a lot of weed. Tell you wheat now? I'm not saying that they right or wronged or that I agree, but I'm saying that Man, an ounce of weed, that's kind of upset. But it's also, it's not that much. But where are you going that you need to take a whole ounce of weed? Okay, that's, all right. You should be able to get to where you had,
Starting point is 00:31:15 you should be able to get to the studio and back. You shouldn't be out here joyriding. You should go to the studio and drop that weed off and then go do your rest of your shit. But an ounce ain't that much. What else is an ounce a lot of? A ounce is only a lot of weed. You gotta draw the line somewhere.
Starting point is 00:31:31 You know what I'm saying? A ounce of paprika? The next week, the recipe says two ounces, that shit, you ain't taste it. You're not going to taste it. A ounce of weed. A ounce of cocaine don't look like that much, but the cocaine deal is telling you.
Starting point is 00:31:47 That's enough for a whole party. The people do call it. Apparently, that is plenty enough. That's a lot. The ounce of spinach ain't shit. Right, right. That's she ain't going to shrink up as soon as you put the heat on it.
Starting point is 00:32:01 How much should it be then? No, I'm just saying it's a lot and it's not a lot in the same. It's one and a few things. Right. Yeah. I feel like an ounce of weed is enough for one person. Oh, definitely, for one person. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:19 For how long? That day, the weekend? Is this something like the person? You got to make an ounce last year a week. Three days. If you're just smoking by yourself, you're tripping. You tripping, burning through our house a week. You're going through something, definitely.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I mean, I stay going to do something. That's where I'm using my metric. That's where I'm gauging. I don't know. If I go past it, I'm going to go get help. Oh, no. I'm just saying we got to draw the land somewhere. For the smokers.

Starting point is 00:36:23 I've been here for a long-ass time, though. Where are you from? Mississippi. Oh, okay. I've been in Atlanta for 17 years. Yeah. Yeah. I'm from Florida.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I've been here since middle school, but comedy is when I really saw the city. Like the shit you experience and it like going. Because you gotta go to the sides of town. You don't be on the east side. You'll be, you know what I'm saying? You don't know what might happen. You're on the south side. And you don't know, like, hey, that shit.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Yeah. It was fun. Yeah, I got experiences on everything. experiences on every side of Atlanta. So what's the best side do you? The best side? I don't know. I would say, I would probably say Southwest.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Southwest. Yeah, that's it. Swat. Camelton Road and shit like that. Oh, yeah. That's just kind of eyed over there. Yeah, I mean, I just feel like It's still a whole bunch of black people, but it's just a lot more chill.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Like, it ain't so much bullshit going on. Yeah. Everybody pretty much just go to work, go to the crib. Yeah. But they're still moving. Yeah. Yeah. To me, though.
Starting point is 00:37:43 What would you say? The B-side. I'm going to say one from them. Say that then. Yeah. West side. That's what you say? Why?
Starting point is 00:37:57 It just is. It just, it's black. And they, like. Crazy. Yeah. But I say, not wet, like, yeah, it's just, it's just a higher end, like the east side a little bit slower pace, a little bit laid back. I don't think the east side laid back.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Compared to the west side to me. Shit, I don't know. And the frantic energy, that motherfuckers be having. Yeah, the west side of crazy. But it's a lot of them over there. Like, they go through a lot over there. They damn sure do. I had a lot of fun on every corner.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I can literally go around the whole 285. I got a story about every exit. Yeah. It's a dope-ass city, man. Just get a hold of you. Your dad shall do. Because it can really pretty much be anything you want it to be, man. You could go kick it in the country,
Starting point is 00:38:52 or you could drive to the city or go get into some. bullshit, go get something to eat, go shopping. Yeah. Plenty of entertainment, plenty of entertainers. There's always something to do. Yeah. Always.
Starting point is 00:39:05 You've been heading the road a lot? Yes. What's your favorite spot so far? Florida. I really like Miami. I think Miami and Florida, I think it's more leaked than Atlanta. Really? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Just because it's... Go ahead and spot some more shit in the comments. Now, you don't... You're the ambassador of Atlanta now. Nah, I'm from Florida, but I ain't from there. It's just like, like, I've been in Atlanta my whole life, you feel me. So it's like, it's normal to you. Exactly, but when I go out, like, they got water down there.
Starting point is 00:39:38 You feel me? Like, we don't got no water down there. Shit, we got Lake LaNette. Don't you go out there. Don't you go out there. Don't you go out there. It's a monster. It's everything.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Hey, hell, dogs. You know what you're supposed to be scared to drive across lately. Yeah, dog. You ain't even put your top. Don't look at the water. Everybody got to look ahead in the car. Man. Motherfucking just go out there and just come up.

Yeah, I'd float it all over here by Roswell Road. I'd probably be a Johnson Thurie by the time you get here. This nigga floated up for her.
Starting point is 00:40:48 What's your mall that you like in the city? I feel like at first I used to shop a lot in the malls but the malls don't really have anything no more I got to shop online yeah that shit is so risk you know the malls don't have none of the good shit they got online and then you run the risk of having the shit that like they don't have no shoes you got to get your shoes from the shoe club the shoes so that's that's that's fucked up dog Nike need to yeah they need to be sued They don't got nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Nobody got a jack. Black people getting real tired of Nike, bro. We're gonna blow the next brand up. I don't know when we're gonna have our next collective black people meeting. But we're gonna fuck around and switch all our Nike money to somebody else. Yeah. I'm not buying no more ones. You already know who I'm going to for them ones.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Who you switching to? That cool cat. Okay. All right, man. Who is it? You do. Black-old. You make his own.

Starting point is 00:42:29 What's your flavor? No, I don't want the thing. You need an app where you could be the GPS. Wait, my time, talking. Yeah, because anytime you get outside Atlanta, you should just, your voice should just, yeah. This is not. It's not in lemma.
Starting point is 00:42:50 It's not a dilemma. He'll be mad at his head. But now they don't make everything say Atlanta, though. The city is expanding. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. They're trying to capitalize.
Starting point is 00:43:01 I know, bro. This shit turning into Las Vegas on the law. Yeah, they're trying to make it for real. They don't legalize the weed. Ain't know what's next. Oh, you know what's next? What? You know what the latest thing?

Starting point is 00:43:23 Well, I ain't Never mind, never mind That's not good It ain't Yeah But it's safe It's safe Just assume everybody
Starting point is 00:43:31 You know, They're gonna say Assume everybody got one Exactly And everybody's why everybody needs one See that's the wrong thing They need to take
Starting point is 00:43:40 All guns away No the fuck they don't No they don't Yes they do All guns That's gonna be fucked though Because think about... I am a believer in the second amendment.
Starting point is 00:43:51 I know, but... We're not going to have one. Police going to have one. If they did, they'll be... Think about all the little kids that got guns and killing each other. I just seen the little girl. She was like 14 years old and the little boy like 12 years old.
Starting point is 00:44:04 And she had a gun. She just planted the bath on and she had a little teah. She was like, I'll shoot your ass. And she shot him. And then he fell to the grind and she got scared and fell, and she jumped up and grabbed the gun and shot herself. They young. What time?
Starting point is 00:44:17 But that could everybody got guns. But that's also on parent. That's irresponsibility. Yeah, you can't have access to the guns. You got to be responsible gun on them. Yes. They shouldn't have that shit. Yes, you should, they should definitely put some measures in place where you have to do some kind of training.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Exactly. Handgun safety class before you can even be considered to purchase a firearm. Yeah. But they should definitely not take all guns away. Right. But they need to do something to get it out of control. Don't even the platter the people who are really using guns. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:50 So it don't matter what they do. The crooks and the motherfuckers and the murderers going to have them anyway. If they say you can't have no more guns, guess who's going to have the guns? Yeah, the motherfuckers who are not supposed to have them. Right. So now everybody is lit. Yes. When right now it's just, hey.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Yes. At least give yourself a fucking chance. Yeah. But if they take them all, like, if it was, if it was the way they could they do a sweep. Nope. I'm talking about just hear me out, and they could just, like, magically get all the guns and then start putting them back out to the people that really need them. Wait till you go on the tour.
Starting point is 00:45:26 You're going to want as many guns as you. I know me, but I can handle the guns. I'm saying the hired guns. I can handle a gun. Everybody knows that way. Everybody knows that's going to do. That's how all the kids have happened. Then you got all these kids out here.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Every little kid in high school got a gun. I think the kids, we just got to. That's what they should do the sweep at then. We got to talk to them. We got to tell them that ain't the way. Yeah, exactly. And more people got to reach them. Because the guns ain't going nowhere.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah. It's just the access to it and what would make you want to go and think that it's cool to do that. Because they're like that one. You don't point a gun unless you play on destroying whatever you pointed at. Yeah. There's too many people playing. Like even in the videos, motherfucker make the shit look cool for the kids. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:46:09 You can't rap the song if you ain't got the gun to go with the... Right, exactly. See, that's the bad part of guns. They have been glorified by the wrong people. But I'm not talking about people who want to use guns to hurt people. Talking about people who want to use guns to protect their family and their property. Yeah. And their lives and well-being.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah. Not people who are out here doing malicious shit. No. Not criminal activity. Talking about civilians. Keep motherfuckers from climbing in your window and shit. Picking around your corner. out of your corner. Pop.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah. But hell, we didn't discuss gun controls and everything. Look at the effect that you have on people. Right, right. You're gonna fucking around to be a senator one day. You're gonna have your opinion. You better not try to take them guns, though. That's gonna lose your election.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Not. But they just need to get some type of control for real. I don't see too many video with kids just killing their self-killing people. Like, they're just sad. Yeah, man. Violence is always sad. We need to do something to come.
Starting point is 00:47:13 We need to do something to curb the violence in the black community. Yeah, for real. You have any ideas? I think you start with the music. Not no finance, it's music. I mean, because if you think about, like, who all the kids looking up to right now, it's like rappers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:31 So if your favorite rapper, like, telling you to do this. And then a lot of rappers don't even live what they're talking about, so you got all the kids just listening to them. Like, we're the role models. Yeah. So. Yeah. It's been like wait for a minute.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Mm-hmm. But it takes a minute for you to realize the motherfucker was lying. Exactly. This motherfucker was lying. Yeah. And you didn't did what he didn't say, but he reached. You feel him and living in a big mansion and you out here in the hood, kill him. And he rapping about what he saw.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah. He not, and now they rap about what they doing, what they did, and then wondering, oh, they snitching. Yeah. It was your mixtape. You're not. You told on yourself? Do you told on me? Your Honor, I'd like to submit some evidence.
Starting point is 00:48:19 The mixtape, we killed all those motherfuckers, volume, too. You can clearly see, then song number one actually has the name of the deceased as the title. Yeah. Yeah. Oh no, man. I guess violent shit just sound better on a beat. You do, though. No, but it's only us, fam.
Starting point is 00:48:40 We can't eat. I can't hold you. It's only us. We're the only motherfuckers get to kill each other on the song, and that shit be on top ten radio. I always wanted to say this, but I ain't know how to put it until now. Black people should have the freedom to make songs about bullshit, too. Yeah. We should have fun songs, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I'm talking white people's songs to be about butterflies. White people's songs be drunk. A little drunk just people scream, I get no names. But I'll get up again. We need the black version of that. You drunk as shit, man. Just, yeah. O'oy, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:20 I got fucked up, but now I'm straight again. Nage can roll another blood. I get fucked up. But I get up again. Why, we can't have just a little. We need more party music. But that's because they ain't going to push it. We can push it.
Starting point is 00:49:36 It's true. You ain't going to push it. Yes, we will. We are independent. We believe in being independent. Only a little bit of people going on. Yeah, that's enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:45 We don't need everybody. Yes, you do. I'm telling you, that's how shit blow up first. It'd be niche. It's start off small. It's a movement. Listen. Then by the time the corporate come, we do with it.
Starting point is 00:49:56 We do with it. That's what we'll feel free to sell it. You gotta make some stuff that they're gonna get behind. Yeah. They only gonna get behind the stuff that they want to push. Yeah, but everything started out small. Exactly. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Why you think everybody rapping about negative shit? I thought they just liked that shit. Oh. You mean they don't like that shit? I thought they liked that shit. That's like, because that's what they gotta do. Because if they, if it was a way that people can make, like, good music and go up, they'll do it. But they ain't gonna push it.
Starting point is 00:50:34 I'm telling you. I think the music is reflecting what people are really doing. That's why it's gone. No. People doing some fucked up shit. Look at where they're listening to this music at, in the club, doing drugs, drinking liquor, fucking lose women and shit.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Let's go. See? Look at this man. See? That's the sad. That's sad. That's sad. His phone train.
