This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
Hold on.
Every day I wake up.
Wake your ass up.
The breakfast club.
You're all finished or y'all's done?
Morning, everybody.
It's DJMV.
J.
J. Jolari and the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
La Rosa is here.
And we got a special guest in the building.
Big Lola.
Lola, bro.
Welcome.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
How you feeling?
I feel good.
I can't complain.
Y'all like it early.
It's a breakfast club
I know
I know
What's up
New project out
Yes new project out
How's it feel?
It feels good
Oh my God
I feel like
I just feel like a new person
Why
Because
The last project I put out
Y'all
I'm not gonna hold you
It just
My mom wasn't there
Like I wasn't there
Mentally
Why not
What was going on?
Like I say
Success
Once you get
you don't know how to navigate it like when you get when you first get there so it took me some
time to like really enjoy my moment um be grateful for my talent and just celebrate myself so
mentally i wasn't there that's why with dennis project dinn's daughter project i i was so
vulnerable because i started thinking about what happened before my moment and
I couldn't tap in
But now I'm like
I bet I got it
Like I'm sure
So you didn't enjoy the moment
When you released your first album
No
No
And I just sitting there
Pretending like
I remember the last time I was with you
I was like I'm good now
No I was not
I was just trying to trick myself
Into thinking that I was okay
But I wasn't
I saw you talk about
And I when I heard you say this
So I was like I felt it
It resonated with me
You were talking about how
That feeling
but also feeling like, wait, is this really happening?
Am I supposed to be here?
Is it all going to be going to be going to be?
Yeah, like, it was freaking you out.
Like, you didn't know what one day after the other was going to play.
Yes, that's exactly how I was feeling.
And then you don't know what that feeling is.
Like, you know you're feeling something, but you don't know how to explain it.
And you don't want people to look at you like, you're crazy.
But you know you're going through something.
And then I don't vent to everybody about things.
Like, I'm not that person that'd be like, oh, I'm going through this and I'm sad.
Nah.
You could be sensitive.
You could be sensitive alone.
I mean, I guess.
I guess.
I like that, though, because, you know, you rap with such a big voice, that big Brooklyn
energy, but what's something in your life you still feel small about?
Like, something you're scared to admit you're still working on.
Is that in confidence?
My confidence is there.
It's not about having a confidence.
It's about being confident enough to not care to show my confidence.
Because you think about other people before yourself.
Like, I think about stepping on people told.
before I'm my 100% me and you shouldn't do that because that's that means you holding back
so that's what it be it's like I know I can do this I know I can do that but then with this
person feel away if I start filling myself a little bit more and it's like so what right exactly
you should but I was going to ask with this project do you ever chase try to chase the first
project because you had successful records big records you ever say I got to stay on top
does that bring you to pressure no see
the pressure was doing the last project
this time around
it's like no I'm having fun
like I got to remember that I'm rapping
because I enjoy doing it
so no pressure
like people underestimate you because of your size
yeah that's why I'd be rapping like
I'm six foot two
I've never seen nobody have a security guard
that has to put you
he puts you on his shoulders
to get you in and out of spot
like that is the craziest thing I've ever seen
yeah and I'd be like we
Do you like proving people wrong, though?
I used to like proving people wrong, but not no more
because I realized that that's a dead end.
Like, you can't waste your time trying to prove people wrong.
You got to prove yourself right.
On this project, I bet from the first song, what's up with it?
It seems like it's like a temperature check.
So that's not proving people wrong, what temperature are you checking?
Because it seems like you're like, oh, y'all was looking for me, I'm here.
I was checking everybody body temperature.
Like, because my.
Little is so hard, yo, lowless so hard.
I'm checking everybody's body temperature.
I'll check everybody body temperature because it's like my body different.
Like I'm a hard body over here.
Like, what's up with it?
Like, this ain't no play, play.
I'm for real.
So let's get into it.
What do you feel like has been like the biggest, I guess, things that have been thrown at you from opposition
that you felt like you had to let people know like I'm not worried about.
I see it, but I'm not worried about y'all because that's kind of what that song gives me.
It's like you were dressing some things or.
Being a female artist in the rap business,
I feel like they put so much pressure on you.
It's like unnecessary pressure.
And then you'll get tricked,
like you'll get tricked out your spot.
So I'm like, basically I'm saying you ain't going to trick me out my spot.
What's up with it?
The chat saying, fix your shirt.
Oh, the chat, oh, the poobies, you know I ain't really got nothing,
but it's looking good, why not?
But, yeah, they give you unnecessary.
I'm good now?
This is it
She good, chat
Is she good?
They said
Areola is all on display
No y'all is not
You can see her nip out
I wasn't paying no attention
No wasn't it
I just think they saw the top of your bra
Yeah it was the top
It's new
It's a new
You know the chat in disrespect
We don't look at the chat
One niggas like shit
We like it
Don't feel
But you know they put
But you know
They put
Unnecessary pressure on you
So it's like
At a point yeah
I did feel like
My back was against the wall
and I'm like, no, I'm not going out like that.
So what's up with it?
What's something about the rap game
that's way nasty than you expect?
It's really a game you've got to play
and you've got to learn to play it.
It's like everybody is not your friend for sure.
This is a business.
And if you do create some friends along the way,
it's a great thing, but keep it to a minimum.
Yeah, I heard on the album you,
you was talking about people that was fronting on you,
but you gave A. Bougy a lot of problems.
Yes, I did
Yeah, because he took me on my first tour
And he set me up clean
Like my set was on his set
In the middle of his set
So the crowd is already warmed up
You know what I'm saying
And then I come in
And then I'm like, ah, y'all ready for Boogie again
And they're like, yeah
So he set me up right
Can you talk about how
So it was A Boogie
I remember I came and saw you a while ago
Future was at the Barclay
And they loved you there
And they gave you so much love there
How impactful and important was it for people like that
that wrapped their arms around you
But do it in a very authentic way
That gave you the best platform
Put you in the right place on the shows
And things like that
Yeah, it just
It allowed people to accept me
More a little more faster
But it wasn't forced
It was just like, dang, why we ain't see this girl before
You know what I'm saying?
Do people ever say that you to New York
And they try to make you cut New York down a little bit?
No
No. If anything, they asked me to be more New York.
Like, can I hear your exit?
They'd be like, can I hear your exit?
I agree. Can I, can I hear some lingoes?
And I'll be like, I don't, just talk to me.
You are New York. I was saying this morning, New York, but I was like, it would be ill.
She was almost like DMX on some type of shit.
I love DMX.
Because of how you look aesthetically.
Well, she kind of is, though.
She is.
She is.
She is.
You got the dog in the video.
That's kind of symbiote.
I mean, I'm in Florence.
I was going to put.
on some Tim's, but I was going to put it on the hills.
Okay.
I was, but I was like, all right, girl, pack the butter's up.
Like, you always sweating up on.
But I'm very much influenced by DMX, though.
It's a song called What, on a project?
And, oh, it gives, it gives Norrie, too.
And it's very New York.
You mentioned people switching up on you, too, once you got your first plaque.
Yeah.
Was it family?
Was it other artists?
What was it?
It was a lot of people, man.
Like, ugh.
And you know.
the thing is for me it's like
I didn't even pay
no much attention to it because
I'm not
I'm not a person that's into drama
so I know when you
feed into drama
then you don't feed into yourself
so yeah
switched up like you know but that's what
that's what comes with it you know what I'm saying
at least that part
I kind of already knew
but it's different when you go through it
you know what I'm saying
on this album you got a Mary G.
large sample.
Yes.
Is that a sample or does she actually sing it?
It's a sample.
It's a sample.
It sounds like she's singing it.
How difficult was it to get to Mary to clear that?
Was it difficult?
Okay.
No, it wasn't.
No, I mean, no, was it difficult?
No.
I had to wait.
I had to wait, you know?
Like, you know, I gave, I was patient because I knew she was on tour and I wanted
her to do her thing and didn't she get back to me, you know, and I was just, I was
waiting.
But, um, it's a producer, his name.
name is esdot and he'd be on the road with her so he you know he helped out a lot with that
got you do you feel like female rappers get boxed into things like they want you to either be
sexy or gangstar just do club records like they don't know what they want us to do you got to know
what you want to do because it's like whatever you think that's not what it is this is whatever
I'm giving you is what you get you got to be confident you have to have way more confidence than the
male artists for sure.
Which land do you think people wrongly try to put you in?
Drill?
They tried to, but I cleaned that up.
It's your energy, but then you came with the Bryson-Tiller situation,
which I love that for you because I feel like so many people got to meet you as an artist
because the song was so big, but it's the energy of your music that feels like Drew.
Yeah, that's, but I'm not going to front, yeah, because I love pop smoke.
You know what I'm saying?
I love his energy.
I might get on the drill beat,
but I might talk about different things,
but my tempo in my pocket
and my energy is going to be high.
Do selling records mean a lot to you
or do you just like the music you put out?
Because you just talked about
the Bryson Tilla bracket.
Like there's like plaques
and the fact that you...
They're really about to start hanging on you now.
No, no, they're really about to start hating on you now.
To the mic.
To the mic.
To the mic.
Hold on, hold on, I'm going to turn this mic on.
Turn my mic on.
Turn my mic on.
On behalf.
Y'all got champagne.
Girl.
On behalf of Team 80 and Aris the record,
we want to congratulate you on a gold plaque.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Wow.
You didn't mean a lot for me.
What does that mean to you?
This means that I'm...
That's the most big as you, Lois.
See, that's the most big as you, Lo.
I don't know.
on hills. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see.
If they switched up on you before, they're going to switch up on you now.
Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Big going single.
Okay. I'm going to bet with this.
You should. I'm laid in bed with you, girl. You're sexy.
You know why? I think I love that for you because I feel like when that record hit and it really hit,
it was at a time where people were trying to figure out if you would be able to do everything you did.
Don't play with it and do it again, and you did it bigger.
I don't slap you.
I can't believe this.
How much I can call my mom's?
Yo,
oh, man, yeah, because, listen,
they people was doubting me
before I got my first one.
Like, they was doubting me
all around the board,
and then it's like,
sheesh,
I got to do it again.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
And then you do it again,
but, you know,
you still get slept on.
You know what I'm saying?
You still get slept on.
But it's cool.
Like,
If you're not strong enough to be in this game, then the success ain't going to come.
But talk about what that means for you, right?
The fact that you're selling records, this one is gold.
My heart.
What does that mean seeing that plaque and all your hard work coming through with these sales?
It just means that all my dreams are coming true,
and it means that when I was saying to my mom, like, I just feel like I'm somebody in this world,
somebody important, that I wasn't tripping.
It was true.
Yeah.
like I really felt it
and it just shows that
I'm gonna be able to take him off
your mom I got you baby
I'm gonna continue paying no bills
Is your mom your biggest fan
because that's the first thing you said
I need to call my mom is that your biggest fan
Yeah my mom is the reason I resign
for my job to
pursue a music career
so I will always
have her back because she always have moms
You got a record card it was all a dream
and you mentioned
that survival's remorse held you back from
celebrating your wins.
Are you going to celebrate this?
Yes, I'm going to celebrate that.
I promise.
This is a different time.
I'm going to celebrate that win.
I promise you that.
So you've reached a place now where you can celebrate those.
Yes.
Like, I feel like, dang, I should be happy for myself.
And I shouldn't feel like because I went and found this success that I got to worry
about where you are at in the level of success of your life.
You know what I'm saying?
Like yours is going to come.
I waited for minds.
I've been on a.
bench for a very long time. I sat on the bench
and I watched the game. Now that I'm in the
court. Like, dang, can you
cheer for me? Let me bar. So what were you feeling
survival's remorse about? Exactly.
Like, just
with everything, the littlest things,
like being able to pay my bills on time
and I still know people that that's not able to
do so. You know what I'm saying? Like the
littlest things was holding me back
that I felt bad and it's like,
why would you feel bad when it's your
time and you got to keep going so that
these people could be in your
position too right so at what point in your success did you realize it was okay to help yourself
first um when nobody was there when i was going through it in my room by myself when i was like
i was depressed and nobody was there and i'm not saying that nobody didn't want to be there um
i just dealt with it by myself but i got through it so i'm like okay now you got to start
putting yourself first you do know though that you got to take care of yourself and family first
because a lot of times that happens to a lot of people
and they take care everybody else.
And they go broke and then they go broke on when something happens.
That's right.
That's tough.
Then that's part.
I'm serious.
You do understand that part of it though.
Yes.
What was that downpoint depression like caused from?
Is it one thing?
Was it like a music industry thing?
Was it personal life?
It was everything.
It was it was so much that I couldn't,
I couldn't think.
Like I was.
overthinking like it was clashing so that's why again i was telling y'all when i did dinn's daughter
i couldn't think about my moment and what my future was was gonna look like i kept thinking about
what was going on before i'm like oh i came so far but i was just so i was just still trying to get
over trauma i want to ask you know she mentioned the drill music before i feel like new york
music is not flowing like it used to like that boom bap that record so do you stay
focused on that as well and say I'm going to do this I'm going to be that type of artist regardless
and let it catch up with me or do you say you know what I'm going to have to you know
transform a little bit and do what other rappers are doing and make sure I stay relevant I've always
been like different so I stay focused on doing that and I always say like I don't want to be
responsible for saving certain parts of the the music industry like I don't want to be
responsible for that because that's a lot of pressure I don't want I only deal with pressure
that I know I could deal with I feel like
your money is a little, like, it's still
the low, low, low, high energy, but it got a little bit of that
boom bap in it somewhere. Yeah?
Yeah, a little bit. I think
it's maybe it's the, the beat that kind of
You're from Delaware, you don't know what real boom bap is.
Boom bap.
I told you it's going to be this one right here.
I only say that because I think your flow
in it, it reminds me of, like, the
storytelling that would happen over those type of beats.
Yeah, I feel like
get money is like,
what's not with you doing push-ups?
Yeah, I always tell people
I am not competitive
When it comes to
Competing with other artists
But when it comes to being athletic
Yeah, I will challenge you
You know when you're working out with somebody
They're like, yeah, get money
Yeah, I know
She's never worked out a day in her life
That's right
I've seen people do it
Can you do 10 pushups?
No
You can do 10 push-up
You can do 10 push-up
I bet you you could complete 10 push-ups
Before Amy can complete 10
Let's do, let's go
Damn, now you've got to show her.
That was this reason.
Can you do it?
You are not dressed for 10 push-ups, Lola.
I'm like, get it.
I'm like, get right.
The fact that she sized you up and don't think you can do 10 push-ups is crazy.
Because he came at heart and you know, I got to make sure she's right.
Can you do 10 push-ups?
No, I could do like three.
I'm not.
Okay, so you're going to do something?
All right, yeah, come on.
I'm going to get money to it.
You do it too?
You do it?
You do it.
I got to take my shoes off.
Everybody get money.
I'm not crazy.
Are you ready?
I'm going to get money.
All right.
You ready?
You ready?
Ready?
We count it?
Yeah, go.
We count.
One, two, three.
Oh, step.
One, two, three, four, five.
I'm out.
No.
Oh, my God.
He's Charlotte.

60.
Come on.
17.
Come on.
17.
Come on.
19, come on.
I'm at 40.
My chance.
You're like,
that's because he a little slow.
I thought you all worked out.
I did a little quick 50 clip.
He's going to pass.
Yes.
I did a quick little 50 clip.
I thought you're getting money.
You all told me y'all getting money.
Yeah, no forms working.
This is where I, come on.
Y'all told me.
That's your breakfast.
She just did five push-ups.
You got to celebrate the wins.
And now she's doing Casamie Gals.
W-Z.
in the chat y'all i just went
hey i'm surprised lola did 20
no problems no she do push-ups all over her
instagram in the video no i did five
okay but you did five
yeah it was like okay so you said you could do three so five
i'm proud of god he is good and my church just text me
five push-ups
congratulations on your plaques thank you
i do want to ask you lola what did you learn in the process
of releasing your first album that made things easier
this time um
just continue to be yourself
like
the only way to sell music
is if you being yourself
so when I'm making music now
I only make songs that I know I could sell
so
after that everything just be
easy
not well I'm not going to say
it gets rough sometimes
but it's not as hard as the last time
when you're writing
what emotion do you tap into first
is it hunger is it pain
Is it confidence or something else
We don't even know about
It just depends on
What the day looking like for me
Like
Or sometimes I could be going through it
With family or whatever
But when I get in the studio
I make a record like get money
You know what I'm saying
Like I don't make a song
Dwelling on my feelings
Of feeling pain
Or anything like that
I just be like
I'm in the gym doing pushups
get money like I'm straight
but on pain though
right pain is about
you going through something but you flip it
into like I'm a it's a confidence
yeah like stop playing with me
I'm a remind you to stop playing with me so
what inspired the pain record
okay so
okay so shout out to Mary
because she cleared that but the pain
record was basically
me saying I bet
you want to you want to play with me
I got you whole that thought
Because I'm really that girl
I shouldn't be the girl that you playing with
I literally told you not to play with it
And that's not just to a man either
That could be for anybody
So if you have some drama in your life
That you want to clean up
You listen to pain and be like
Listen I'm cleaning house
But how is your love life during being an artist
Right? Because
Does somebody get it?
The fact that you're in the studio
The fact that you're on the road
The fact that you can't be there
Like a normal person would be
So
Get a little of some napkins
No, you're sweating.
Oh, no, I'm sweating because I was profusely jerked.
You're going to be sweating in the middle with that Casamigos and that hoodie on.
So how do you deal with that?
Oh, you said, oh, with my relationship?
Oh, I mean, when you have somebody that's like your soulmate and they love you,
when somebody love you, they're willing to work whatever out.
He understands the industry part.
He understands, yeah.
He understands being in the studio and being on the road.
Mm-hmm.
He understands.
He's supported.
So why you don't lean into the more in love records
Like most artists
No, I don't, no, I am
I just had to get my shit off
Like, I had to get it off
It's been a minute
I was taught, I was popping it
That's why it's like I bet
You know, it's been a minute since I was popping
It so it's like I bet
Hold that thought
Let me go crazy and then
Y'all not gonna be surprised
Yeah
Because you y'all are
You're super in love all over the
normally but I did realize that you took a little break from like the posting and all
that and it's just you now.
Who is y'all?
It's dope boy, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
That's my boyfriend.
Oh, I know.
So, but and that's what, see, that's because I, we have this thing where we, we're not hiding.
Yeah.
But we still private.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not a secret, but it's private.
The last time I saw you was the media room, actually.
I thought it was a future concert.
Remember I sat down with y'all at the media room it was me
See that's what I'm saying
I'm not clue uh self and uh ivy
Yes that's what I'm like I could have sworn
I sat down in the middle of that conversation and you were talking about being ready to have kids
No wait hold on they tricked me wait wait wait hold on wait that okay well I'm not going to see here act like I I yes yes I yes I do yes I do
Yeah speaking into existence yeah because I look at it like this right as a female
when you give life that's not something that you put a hold on like you playing with god
saying you know what i'm saying if you if you have someone that you're in love with and you sit here
and you say no not right now not right now what is what why y'all together especially if y'all
doing things yeah like you're actually bumping you know right you know you know if you're
bump it ugly yes you're bumping i'm seeing if the head boy rocking damn then what's going
But there's people that want to get married first, though they want the ring first.
I mean, yeah, that's cool.
But what I'm saying is to sit there and try to put a hold on it purposely.
Like, I don't believe in that.
At first, I used to.
So how does he feel about bars?
Like, your man left racks on my nightstand and still left with no sex?
He loved it because he's like, oh, you ain't give it up, boo.
Uh-huh.
So you're talking past tense before him.
Yeah.
He's like, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
You ain't give it up.
you ain't easy
You ain't easy
Get the money back
Get the money back for what
Times are hard economically
Money back for what
Then he shouldn't have never tried
He should have never tried to link me
Damn
You know you pay something for something
You know what I'm saying
I'm stingy
I'm so stingy
So he definitely not getting that money back
The Lola boys go deep with him
I'm stingy
I'm stinger ain't you
It go up and down
I'm not going for it up and down
How do you think you've evolved as an artist?
It's your last album.
Speaking besides, like, the music as a person,
I grew with just allowing myself to live.
You know what I'm saying?
I feel like that's the most important thing
because when I'm doing music
because it helps express,
I express myself really well when I do it.
So now it's like when you don't hold yourself back,
when you be yourself, when you live in your mom,
moments when you be yourself
just that's the best growth that you can have
and I'm not perfect I take accountability a lot
you know what I'm saying so when you make mistakes
and you correct them it's the best thing you can do for yourself
I like I like I can hear it on record like invest
with a Gilly's daughter yes New York L.A yes yes because you say
ask if I want bags no I said a house but you said I said a house
when I respond yeah plus a baby
Yeah, but I can go on and on
Because you say you want somebody that you can build a foundation with
Yes, because, okay, being financially stable, of course I want that
In a relationship
But just because a man got money don't mean he's going to treat you, right?
You know what I'm saying?
Like
Yeah
The chat keep telling her, is that the chat or sav keep telling it?
Is it the chat?
It's sad
The chat love it, right chat?
W's in the chat.
chat says your bra is holding on for dear life
it's, and it's over. Yeah, but you know
I had a titty. I got titty problems now.
I ain't got my W. That's that happy way.
It's the happy way. It's the happy way. I want to talk
about your team too, because you've been with your team, of course
we know Sabo, we know Team 80. Talk about how important your
team is to making sure that you still is, still relevant,
and making sure that all your business is right too.
Yeah, they know what I
want in life and I always say when you meet someone new like a friend or a spout it take three years
for you to know somebody a hundred percent they true self so I feel like even when I'm not around
my team see things and they be like Lola love this and that helps me sleep at night because
it's like I'm not in it by myself you know what I'm saying when I wake up I normally have a team
that's laying stuff out for me and saying here just say yes or no
and that's all I want
I just want to say yes or no
The dope thing about having a guy like
Sab is like you know
He cares about you as a person
Yes that's the most important thing
Because people do not be caring about people
Yo
On the song Investor
What did you learn about yourself
And your values
While putting a song like that together
I realized that money is not everything for me
I mean
I wasn't raised in a household
Of a lot of wealth
It was a single parent
so I like to be loved on and I like to give love as well
so that's what I learned about myself invest in me spiritually
mentally physically so that's what investing is not just
financial is all of those things not just finance right
it's everything else the financial thing that's just to secure
everything else but we could get that together
like I'm down let's make some money baby
did you tell homie that he know he knows okay okay okay okay
Yeah, we talk about plans and stuff
You have to have someone where you could build with
You know what I'm saying?
So that when you do have kids
What are you going to tell your kids?
I'm just glad you don't feel like you got to put a lot of that on hold
Because that is a thing for women in any industry
Like you always feel like, dang, if I do it too wrong, too soon, too late
Where am I going to end up?
Where's my career?
Yeah, and I think that's unfair
I really do think that's unfair
Because it's like as women
Y'all don't know what we deal with
And once you get like 30, after 34, they say women most likely going to have a lot of complications with giving birth and things like that.
Damn.
They say that, I mean, I don't know how true it is now, but that used to be.
You see it be little stuff like that.
That's messed up.
After this, we could jump him.
I told you that you needed to get with him.
It's not envy.
Yeah, I'm sorry, envy.
All right.
That's all good.
You.
But yeah, I feel like.
It's really a thought that you'd be having.
It's like, dang.
I work so hard for this
But at the same time
You do got to do this thing
Over here too
That's why for me
I say
What do you want in life
Forget what do you want for your career
What do you want in life
Because your career is going to support
What you want in life
And I want a family
So I have a career
So that I could support my family
And whenever I feel like that time coming
I'm going
Was your mindset always like that though
Because I think
Yes
Because that's the difference
Between understanding
That you're surviving
Versus understanding
You're living
And a lot of us women who grew up with single parents
All I knew how to do was survive
I didn't know how to create family
We were just talking about this family and stuff like that
You just know how to survive
You just know how to work hard
And that's all I see my mom's do
Was work hard
So
And then they make it seem as if kids
It's just gonna make things harder
And it's like
What's the point of living
Like this is what we hear for
I feel like there's people that have shattered that stigma
Like Cardi
Yeah shout out to Cardi for sure
Yeah because she's
she still went out and did it.
And she's still doing it.
And she's still doing it.
I recently read that Carucci trans that she studied you to tap into her rapper bag for her new movie.
Yeah, it was Fashion Week out here in New York.
And she just, I was like, I was thrown off because we was talking.
And she was like, yo, you know, I channeled you?
And I'm like, channel me.
She's like, yeah, I got a new role.
And I channeled you because you're small, your voice is powerful.
and I'm small too
And I was like
Dazed out like what me
She's like yeah girl
Like it was so regular for her
And I'm like it's not regular for me
Like your actress telling me this
When you hear stuff like that
How does that make you feel
Does it make you feel like you feel like you have a real impact?
Yeah I'm like girl keep going
Keep going don't stop
Because yeah sometimes you
You can't get to see out looking in
You just in looking out
So sometimes you don't feel your impact
somebody got to tell you sometimes too you know because you're so busy working
do you still have imposter syndrome or do you feel like no i'm a ride no i'm here
god is my witness i'm here uh i'm not holding back no more because it's like holding back is
saying i'm stepping on someone else's toes that's not my intentions and if that was my first
intentions then that means that yeah you you tripping but that's not my intentions to be stepping
don't nobody told.
I'm just trying to keep winning
so I can support my family
and my goals, you know?
When did you first recognize your voice?
Like, what was the moment
you said something and scared yourself?
When I was mad,
probably one of my old flings,
they pissed me old.
That was like, I, what?
I can't even tell y'all what I said
because it might be a case.
I said, I got it in me.
Whir, I got it in me, you got it in you, girl.
Hmm.
You took that right to the booth from there?
Yeah, well, yeah, I did.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
I'm kind of scared a little.
When she thought getting to that voice,
she'd be like, oh, shit.
So what voice I like?
No, I like the voice.
I like the voice.
It's so funny because it matches you.
Like, you know, your aesthetic made me small,
but now I ain't nothing about you little for real.
It's the calling card.
Like, it's like a, you hear that?
I swear.
I keep talking about this.
Clay Show because it was so crazy for you and I was lit.
But I remember you literally did the
and they went crazy. We couldn't even
see you where I would say that. Like you were so little
but they just, it just
I don't know, it's so big for
you to be so small. I remember a future
was bringing me out that night
and he couldn't even get my name out.
He was like, oh, oh, oh, lo,
oh, okay. I went right
past normally when I run on stage, like I
show love to the person bringing me out.
I was like, I'm so sorry, bro.
I was just so happy to be
on that stage like I felt like this is my house because it is my home and I ran on it I was
like I finally fucking made it and we all made it I felt like we all in that room made it you
know what I'm saying when young girls from Brooklyn look at you and say I want to rap too
what's the what's the realest guidance you can offer them I would say when they tell you
too aggressive be even more aggressive yeah say with your chest girl say say with
your t-tas just don't show them
your chat
what's something you manifested for
2026 that scares you
in the best of me
the scariest thing
the scariest thing
right now for me
would be
knowing that I know my worth
I know my worth
and that's the scariest thing
when somebody know they worth
they ain't taking no
I ain't taking nothing from nobody
I don't care who it is
I'm standing on it
Like I'm 6-2
You are
Because I'm 7, I'm 7-2
But today I'm 6-2
Because I'm sitting down
If we hear something off the album
What you want to hear off the album

I don't know I just was going
Yeah, like 18 minutes wrong
Yeah

Okay so I got to figure just one
Why now
You play two for a lot
Could I bully me?
Could I bully?
Yeah, go ahead.
I can do two.
Let's do pain.
Let's do pain.
And let's do get money.
Yeah, because the people need to, they need to, you know.
They need to hear your range, your range.
Yeah, and they need to do them push-ups.
