I was like

12 years old when we came up with that name. I mean, me and my homies had a brand. I mean, we still got it going. It's called Peas and Carrots. I heard about it. I got on one of the shirts right now. You need to take off the death row jacket and show off the shirt. That's a bad boy on this side, death row on that side.

I like the jacket. I like these style of jackets. These are hard. But okay, Peas and Carrots, veggies. You know, we started to, we just came up with the name. First, my rap name was Custom. It's like short for customized. And I was like, nah, that's too plain.

My name is Casey, so I'm like, you know what? The homie name, we came up with carrots, peas, and then I was like, you know what? It's no other vegetables. I'm going to go with veggies. I'm all the veggies. See, you don't see that in the hood because everybody's so unhealthy in the hood.

So for y'all to name yourselves after nice vegetables. Fresh vegetables. For real. Embi's name is Casey also. So for y'all to name yourselves after nice vegetables. Fresh vegetables. For real. Envy's name is Casey also. No, that's my last name. My last name is Casey, yeah. I used to have a... Me and my homeboys named each other after weed.

Like, I was Charlie Chronic, Bobby Buddha, Matthew Marijuana, Iggy Boddism. So it's good to see you guys doing something healthy. No, definitely. I mean, we pushing that organic lifestyle, everything natural. Are you a vegan? Nah, but you feel me? Everything I do is natural. No, definitely. I mean, we pushing that organic lifestyle, everything natural. Are you a vegan? Nah, but you feel me?

Everything I do is natural. You feel me? It's organic. I'm not forcing nothing. Now, how did you start rapping? Because you originally was a ball, a basketball player. Yeah, Hooper.

I mean, I started rapping when I was like 12. I should start writing, you know, like when I was going to high school, eighth grade. I mean, I had a super, I love basketball,

you know what I'm saying? Since I was five years old, I played, like, travel ball. I was on varsity when I was in 11th grade. And then 12th grade, I just fell out of it all the way. Did you point guard, two guard? I'm like, really? I was playing three and four. Wow.

Because I was guarding big man. Right. I can stick whoever. I just love playing defense. But, yeah, man, when I was 13, I dropped my first mixtape. I was in ninth grade in high school. I thought I was the coolest kid ever. I just found a love

for it, for just being creative, you know, expressing yourself through music. And once I got in that booth, I just never turned back. So you were probably like a celebrity in school at a young age. I mean, I think a lot of kids grow up like local celebrities. He was the MySpace star.

But there's not a lot of ninth graders putting out mixtapes. No, for real. What got you more pussy, though? Basketball or rapping? You can't curse, Charlamagne. My bad, my bad. What got you more vagina? Basketball or rapping?

I mean, for me, it would probably be rapping. That's why he went to rap. That's what it was. It wasn't even that. Not even for that. I went to rap for the culture, you know, for the art form. See, Charlamagne? So nothing crushed your hoop dreams?

It wasn't like an ankle injury? Honestly, the coach just, like, coaches don't really give the players the right chance sometimes. And I was saying that the other day. A coach can mess up a kid's dream. If you have a bad coach, you can kill everything. Yeah, Charlamagne, you're a coach. I mean, I'm Envy.

Envy, aren't you a coach? Yeah, but I encourage the kids, regardless if they win or lose. I try to encourage them bad coach, you can kill everything. Yeah, Sean, I mean, you're a coach. I mean, I'm Envy. Envy, aren't you a coach? Yeah, but I encourage the kids regardless they win or lose. I try to encourage them because you could crush a kid's life. I think you should tell kids the truth. What the coach told you that you weren't that good? No, me, I was nice. Like, I was good. My brother was on the team. He got more playing time than me. I mean,

I was just underestimated, like underrated. You feel me? Like, the coach would put me in and I would be kind of nervous because it's like when the coach don't play you a lot, it's like you're nervous like like the coach will put me in i would be kind of nervous because it's like when the coach don't play you a lot it's like you you're nervous you don't want to make a mistake you know what i'm saying but if the coach will give you that opportunity you don't feel nervous no more but for me i mean i got i did my thing when i got in the game but the coach just he didn't play me enough so what you think it was uh with the rap the people gave you validation that was enough for you i mean for me it like with the rap, I can take matters into my own hands.

You know what I'm saying? I don't have to wait on no coach. Like, I can go to the studio. I can go push my mixtape. I can print on my own copies. I can go to do my own shows. I don't got to wait on no coach to put me in a game. I put myself in a game.

Now, they said your dad did security for Jay-Z. Yeah. How old were you when he was doing security for him? I was about, like, six years old. So it was about that time that got you into the rapping. Is that when you signed to Roc Nation? Nah. It's a baby, man.

I was hooping. I was hooping hard back then. I didn't even care what my dad was doing. You know, when you're young, you ain't tripping with your dad, how you make money. You're just letting him go out and do his thing. How did that feel, though? Your dad was from the West, of course, West Coast,

but Jay was from the East, and at that time it was West and East, then you're the Lord. This is like 96, 97. Yeah, West and East didn't F with each other. So how was that? I mean, my dad, every time Jay would come to L.A., my dad mostly worked with him in L.A. He said he mainly was assigned to Dame Dash,

but he would end up, you know, working with Jay, bodyguarding him sometime. But, yeah, man, it's just part of his history. Your dad must be a very trustworthy dude, because there's no way in hell I'd be coming from the East Coast hiring West Coast security. Absolutely.

They said they loved my dad, and my dad said they loved him. Like, they trusted him. Suge Knight called my dad before he said he needed security. Love. Tupac, all that. So you signed to Roc Nation.

Was that your father's relationship with Hov had anything to do with that? No, my dad wasn't even in contact with Hov at all. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I just went out and did that on my own. Like, that was something totally different. I just got a call one day, you know. From who?

Who over there was, like, checking for you? Who over there was feeling you? Well, actually, this dude, Rich Climate, you know, gave me that call. And I just told about this, how Q-Tip called me one day when I was, like, 17. He gave me a call. And Rich Kleiman, he was working with Jay-Z at the time. So he just told me.

I mean, Q-Tip was kind of, he was trying to sign me a little bit. You know, he was just chopping it up with me. And then, yeah, Rich was like, you know what? Jay wanted to meet you. He wanted to meet you. And I'm like, what? Like, for real? And I was still in high school. So I left school, missed, like, you know what, Jay wanted to meet you. He wanted to meet you. And I'm like, what? Like, for real? And I was still in high school, so I left school, missed like two days real quick.

Yeah, you can miss school for Jay. He and Jay called. No, came to New York. I was out here for one day, and I met him. I was at the hotel with him. He was recording and working on Watch Your Thumb. How was that conversation? What was the first thing you said to him?

Did you say something silly like, hey, my dad used to do security for you? Nah, didn't even bring that up. That's what Charlamagne would have did. Charlamagne definitely would have said that. But what did Jay-Z hear from you that made him say that he wanted to him, did you say something silly? Like, hey, my dad used to do security for you? Nah, didn't even bring that up. That's what Charlamagne would have did. Charlamagne definitely would have said that. But what did Jay-Z hear from you that made him say that he wanted to meet you? I mean, I think he just was hearing through the grapevine. Like, you know, this young artist, he was this new young cat, you know what I'm saying? Like, especially I was coming up with iFuture.

You know what I'm saying? People was hearing about me from, like, with Tyler and everything. And he just knew I was doing my thing. And I played him some music. I had dropped this album called sleeping in class in 2010 and um he was just he i played him some records and he was just vibing with the music like i remember he heard one of my verses and was just appreciating the verse and i was like this is crazy you know he really listening really checking the lyrics and

he really you know checking to see what he hearing you know i'm saying and i was like this is crazy you know that that gave me a lot of confidence you know what I'm saying? And I was like, this is crazy. That gave me a lot of confidence, you know what I'm saying, just to know that people was really listening, you know what I'm saying? People's eyes was open. And going solo from iFuture, were they supportive of that? Like, yeah, go ahead, do your thing. Or was it like, come on, we supposed to be. I mean, they definitely was supportive of that.

I mean, I remember one day the homie Hachi Beats asked me like, yo, you still like, are you sure you want to, you know what I'm saying? Like, you want to be down with it? Like, I know we taking off, but you want to be down with us or what you want to do? And I was just like, I mean, you know, like, I'm rocking. Like, I'm doing my thing. I don't really, you know what I'm saying? I just never was looking for no handouts like that, you know what I'm saying?

But you were one of the founding members, though. Yeah, definitely. I started off with them, but as I said, I was hooping. I was playing basketball. It was a time in my life where I didn't have time to be, like, checking in and be. Oh, I see what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was just living my life.

Like, I couldn't. You know what I'm saying? When they started popping off, you didn't want to seem like you was just there for the ride. Yeah, like, that's not me. You feel me? That's just not me. How did you and Rocky Fresh end up hooking up? Me and him just became really close friends.

Like, we did a song before I even met him. We had a song with the homie with the other homie from chicago and that was one of the relationships i heard his verse and i was like he seemed like a cool like i never met the dude he just had a chill vibe on his on his verse i'm like once we met we was just super cool we just started you know chopping it up we did records together and then he went on to sign with rick ross went on to get managed by Rock Nation. And we all just kept working. Then we both got a Puma deal, Puma sponsorship deal. And then we just did a mixtape together.

And we've been, but he out in L.A. right now. We've been brothers ever since. He always hit me. Now, that first combo with Jay-Z, is that immediately what happened? He was like, all right, play some music. Nah, Jay-Z asked me, what's your story? Like, I was nervous. Hey, that's a complicated question. Complicated question, bro. Hey, but when do you want me to start? You want me to start's your story? Like, I was nervous. Ain't that a complicated question?

Complicated question, bro. When do you want me to start? You started from the beginning. First grade? Absolutely. I'm like, that's a Jay-Z question right there. But that probably tells a lot by how you answer that. When somebody says, what's your story? And how did you answer it?

I said, I was just talking about how I started. And I started playing. I'm from LA. I'm from Inglewood, California. You know what I'm saying? I used to play basketball. I got into music when I was 12. I just started trying to hit him with the facts. I was nervous. I'm from L.A. I'm from Englewood, California. You know what I'm saying? I used to play basketball. I got into music when I was 12. I just started trying to hit him with the facts.

I was nervous. I ain't even going to lie. I didn't know what to say. I don't know if I gave him the best answer. You know what I'm saying? I just said what the first thing that came to mind. Was he really paying attention or was it one of those, yeah? Nah, bro was really paying attention.

He like, you want some water? He was just cool, chilling. We was in a little small hotel room. It wasn't no big room or nothing. It was like he had the studio set up in the room. Mike Dean, the producer, engineer was there. He's super cool. We was just chilling.

Have you seen him since? Who, Jay? Yeah. Yeah, I saw him. He actually recognized me one day. He should. You're signed to Rock and Roll. No, you're right.

But honestly, you know how that be. You feel me? He's so busy. He got so many people talking, trying to talk to him. But me, I'm the type, I just want to show you what I'm doing. Like, I show you I'm working, bro. Like, you know, you can support me, you know what I'm saying, whatever you want to do.

But me, I'm going to work. So you can come holler at me, you know what I'm saying, later or whatever, but I'm going to be working. So where do you see you? Where do you recognize you? We at the Roc Nation brunch. He was with Beyonce. He was walking with Beyonce.

He like, what's up, man? He was happy this weekend. It's Grammy weekend. Yeah, Grammy. You know, had a Roc Nation brunch. I've been to like two so far. He like, what's up, man? That's Grammy weekend. Yeah, Grammy. You know, they had a Rock Nation brunch. I've been to like two so far. There's another one coming up. Yeah, it'll be cracking.

It'll be fun. Do you take chicks with you when you go to that kind of stuff? Nah. Just to show off a little bit. There's a lot of girls there. Why wouldn't you bring one? Got you. Now, you're familiar with California, but you don't make like typical West Coast music.

You know what I'm saying? How did you break out of that mode of not making the stereotypical, let me throw some Chucks on and get in front of the lowrider sound? I mean, it's a different time. He's a stereotypical bastard over there. He said, throw some Chucks on, get in front of the lowrider. I just think it's a different time. That was then, this is now, you know what I'm saying?

I mean, as you know, I came in working with Tyler. People are like, I feel we was making different type of records. We wasn't really following the mode of what was going on. Our imagination was somewhere else, creativity. And then me, I just, my favorite rapper was Kanye. You know what I'm saying? Like, he came in the game doing different. Like, he was different than everybody.

You feel me? So I just wanted to be soulful. Like, you know, that's the reason I started rapping, like to do soulful, real hip-hop, real music. I didn't't do it get into it to make club records you know what i'm saying or party that's not why i do it you know what i mean i like i like a lot of the young cats from the west because like they're not uh feeling the pressure to get to get caught up in gangs when they was younger and under that they just y'all just did y'all no i mean we was around it i was surrounded by all that stuff you know all the stuff these rappers talk about I grew up around it I walked home

from school hoping I didn't have to deal with it you know right like so I just I just avoided it so I'm avoided all together what else influenced you besides Kanye because you mentioned Kanye what else besides Kanye besides Kanye just growing up in the city you know just trying to find a way you know I'm saying to make something about yourself you know and my ambition inspired me you know i um but another you know just movies and you know just other artists just watching the culture of the game just seeing people do things that are dope you know i'm saying that that inspires me you know like oh that's dope like you know we gotta keep pushing the culture we gotta keep being dope you know i'm saying like seeing my homies

like kendrick lamar come out with a platinum album, you know what I'm saying? That inspires me, because I saw him when he was just dropping the first EP, and when he changed his name to Kendrick Lamar, you know what I'm saying? It's all his name before that. K-Dot. I mean, it was, yeah, K-Dot. Okay.

Do you feel competitive with, like, Kendrick and YG? I mean... Like a healthy competition? I mean, I think it's always to be friendly competition, you know what I'm saying, in this business, in this field. Mac Miller. That's the homie.

You and Mac, yeah, y'all went on tour together. Yeah, we did like 66 shows around the world. He really helped me out, you know what I'm saying? He showed me love. I don't really look at these guys

as competition. They all my homies, you know what I'm saying? I've always been the young gun, so I just been trying to stand up for the youth. I always wanted to be the young kid speaking for what we do,

you know? And they all know I'm going hard, like, no matter what. Like, I ain't trying to compete with nobody. I'm just playing my lane. You and Mac Miller

Like, yo, the tour. Did he pay you? Yeah, he paid me. I made money. I had to spend a lot to do it, you know what I'm saying? But I made money doing it.

I learned a lot, like fast. Like, this is right when I graduated high school. So I was like, three weeks later, I'm gone. Probably had great exposure. Learned how to perform in front of all those audiences. And just saw the business. Now, I see you also in a movie, Dope, that's the Sundance Film Festival. So what's that movie about?

I know A$AP Rocky's in it, iFuture's in it. The writer of The Wood, the homie Rick, wrote the film. And The Wood is one of my favorite movies. Because it was set in Inglewood. Yeah, and this movie is actually set in Inglewood. It's actually set in Inglewood, too. You have to give A$AP tips because he ain't from Harlem. What the hell he know about Inglewood yeah and this movie is set in Inglewood it's actually set in Inglewood too you gotta give ASAP tips cause he ain't from

he from Harlem what the hell he know about Inglewood I mean nah he was doing his thing he was on his on his boys in the hood but nah it's a dope movie

it's based in Inglewood but it's like a different twist on it and I think a lot of the young kids are gonna really connect to it and it's a dope movie for real

now recently we seen Black China and Amber Rose twerking to your joint now how did that feel that felt good I ain't crying did you hit one of them a dope movie, for real. Now, recently we seen Blac Chyna and Amber Rose twerking to your joint. Now, how did that feel? That felt good. Did you hit one of them on the DM? No.

Come on, KC. Did you hit one of them on the DM? Nah, not me. He can't do that to Tyga. He can't do that to Wiz. Yeah, that's disrespectful, man. You cool with both of them?

Huh? You really cool with both of them? Actually, to be honest, like, me and Wiz, I didn't talk to him before. Like, I see him, but we ain't never really worked on nothing yet. You know what I'm, like, me and Wiz, I didn't talk to him before. Like, I see him, but we ain't never really worked on nothing yet. You know what I'm saying?

Me and Tyga, I seen him. We shake hands. But, you know, we ain't never worked on that. So your penis ain't got no loyalty to them? You can throw some penis their baby mama's way if you want to. Mr. Veggies, if they bring it to you. I'm sitting there. You know, he's that boy. He don't need to get anybody else's chick.

He can get his own. Yeah, but Amber Rose, though. He's not going to fall. Don't fall into that. He's trying to give a straight face. I ain't effing with y'all. Don't throw me in that bus. Now, what does that jacket mean to you, man?

Because, you know, all y'all guys say y'all not trying to be competitive now. And, you know, you did the movie with A$AP Rocky. You cool with everybody. What does the death row bad boy, what did that mean to you at the time? Did you feel like you had to choose a side even at that young age? Nah, I didn't, I wasn't really like into it like all the way. I was young, man. Yeah, he was a kid.

Little baby. But, man, I respect these brands, you know what I'm saying? It's culture, man. Like, I had to buy this jacket. This is like big. Do you watch what's going on with like Lil Wayne and Cash Money and make sure you got to keep an big. Do you watch what's going on with, like, Little Wayne and Cash Money and make sure you got to keep an eye on your money and what's going on with your business?

Yeah, for real. I've been learning from firsthand experiences then just to see other people going through different stuff. It's just the industry, man. You had some financial issues before or some? I mean, no, I came early for that. No, what are some things you learned? Yeah, I spent a lot of money in my life, you feel me?

Not in my life, but in this last couple years, just learning the business and learning how to really maneuver myself. You know, you gotta hit, you know, you gotta bump your head sometime. And not really bump your head, you gotta learn through real experiences. You know, people won't learn how to handle their money unless they spend, you know what I'm saying?

Until they F it up. Yeah, you feel what I'm saying? So what'd you F your money up for? I knew Amy was gonna ask that. What'd you buy up? What would you go to? I ain't F my money up, but I've bought a couple cars so far. Just clothes, you know what I'm saying? Living, just out here living, you know what I'm saying? As long as you invest, you can buy things that you want. But you got to make sure you invest.

I put a lot of money into my career. I spent a lot of money on it. I got a studio in my back house, spent a lot of money on it. You signed a major, right? Huh? You signed to a major? Yeah, I'm signing to Epic. Oh, Epic, okay, okay.

I'm signing to Vested in Culture, Sylvia Aron. Shout out to Sylvia Aron. She signed me to her imprint. It's through Epic, though, but it's different. What made you want to do that? Because y'all do have an independent spirit, especially coming from our future and all that. I mean, I just wanted to get that major level exposure. You know, I was putting out, I put out eight mixtapes.

So it's one thing to put out these projects, but I was like, you know what? The reach is there, but we need to take it further. You know what I'm saying? Like, I want to find a way to really get in the running with all these others. I wanted to compete. I ain't going to lie. I wanted to compete, you know what I'm saying, and do my thing. And I feel like I deserve the opportunity to be heard on a major scale.

You know what I'm saying? These Sony music emails are about to leak soon, so hopefully they're not talking ish about you. Oh, yeah. No, they ain't talking nothing about me. They know I'm one of them ones. You're going to shoot up the label, or you can call my good music?

No, I ain't got nothing. I'm not going to shoot up the label. I don't got nothing against the label, because it's all up to you. It's all up to the artist at the end of the day. Are you cool with Bobby Shmurda? He's on Epic as well. I never really met him, but I had his funny

I was doing I was in DC at this club Just it was a party. He came in the club. It was like looking at the crowd. He was like funny Mad energetic. Yeah, he's like looking at the crowd like he has a or two. He don't I never really chop it up with him No, did you roll with real killers? I? Can't I mean they seem like they're really about that life. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They seem like they're really out there. Damn, that's just unfortunate.
