What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home.

That's your husband. Listen to Betrayal Season 5 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2. podcast.

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, from routines to recovery, true lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's surreal and raw. And it's something I really admire about her. I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age to really be able to put. All of this into context. Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ready for a different take on Formula One? Look no further than No Grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series.

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1, including the story of the woman who last participated in a Formula One race weekend, the recent uptick in F-1 romance novels, and plenty of mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every day I wake.

You're all finished or y'all's done. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Salomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lawn LaRose is here with us as well. We got a special guest in the building.

Special guests, I should say. It's his first time on the show, but he bought the squad with him. That's right. We got Big X the plug. Welcome, brother. What up, Big X? What's up with it?

You got your artist with you. So introduce your artist. to us? I mean, they grown. They all right. Roe Summer. Younghood. TV.

All right. How y'all doing? Good. Who the producer? Who do y'all beach, man? That nigga needs a race. Tony Coes and bandplay. I mean, it's a mixture of a lot of people, but it's the same team.

Okay. But Tony Coe's, my man guy, bandplay, my man guy, Charlie, my man guy. And they're probably somewhere working. Yeah. There's somewhere working, getting to it. I'm gonna work and get into it. That was a perfect match. How did y'all get up?

Because it just seemed like, like y'all has premiered to gangstall. Like, y'all sound perfectly. Man. How did y'all get up? I mean, from what he told me, he started making beats because he heard some of my earlier music. So, like, he heard the sample situations I had going in.

It just went full-thottling to it, and it just so happened, he ended up bumping into me. And we've been working ever since. So bandplay, you know, he already, was tapped in with P.R.E. Young Dolf, Kiglox. Yep, yeah, yeah. And so, uh, I went on tour with Kiglock, and me and bandplay tapped in, and the first BD sent me was Whippity, dude. I think that's a platinum song right now, so, yeah, that's how that happened.

You calling this project 6WA, and, of course, you hit an NWA influence. What makes this authentic homage and not just borrowing from a legendary brand? Because we, when we first started, we went all the way back to just, like, that time. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's a scene in the movie where they was just at the studio and the police pulled up and put them all on the flow. That's kind of like when we thought of the, when we thought of the theme,

when we thought of the theme, that's kind of like what we was going through. I'm Texas Andrew right now, and here I am going to jail back to back to back for crazy 9-60. Then he got my artist who wrote it, He don't smoke, drink, nothing, but he's getting in trouble going to jail for nothing. Hood, he just, everybody got prior situations.

You know what I'm saying? And it's like they see that we are about to be able to have some type of input, and they don't know if it's going to be positive or negative, so they're kind of trying to narrate it themselves and put this tag on us to kind of keep us from, I guess, prospering exactly and so

it's just a bunch of oh well we arrested you because you say this in your music and because you move with these people and because so it's like okay but what did I do

tell me what I did and they can't oh I'm a gang member what gang am I in I don't know I just know you talk about a lot of gang stuff in your music well I'm talking about my environment and what I came from

so if you can't understand that if I can go to jail for making money off to talk about what I came from or where he came from or what I seen growing up and what type of I can't be artists then so that's where it started

but then as it went we just you know when you when you want to be the good guy so bad a lot of people try to make you the bad guy you know what I'm saying so you got the it's like a lot of people know that we in the situation you know what I'm saying a better situation that can help us on our family and so

they know before this rap stuff they wouldn't dare say or do none of the stuff they do. But now that they feel like, oh, they're up there, yeah, they got too much to lose, they ain't got no time, people say a lot, they do a lot. And we see it, we laugh at it, we never acknowledge it. And it's kind of like, now we're acknowledging it, you know what I'm saying? Like, we do so much good for the city and for the people

and try to put people on and y'all still wants to be the bad guys, okay. Forget it, let's do it. What is it about Dallas, though? because I mean it's not like in other parts of Texas you haven't seen these movements of black men who are going on to have, you know, this multi-million dollar success. What is it about the system in Dallas

that wants to keep you all done? I mean, I just feel like we ain't never been in this situation. Like, even if you go back back to our old rappers, it was never no, it was never unity. It was always just a select person or a select, you know what I'm saying? And so it just so happened that now all the talent that's in Dallas is being seen and is being heard

but people were already into it in the streets before it even came to the music. So it just, you know what I'm saying? But I'm not going to lie right now. Dallas is on a way better path. Texas period is on a way, better path. Everybody just, everybody wants to get money type situation now, you know what I'm saying?

So we've been on that. We just have been on that. We just to be staying ourselves, you know what I'm saying? So to see other rappers in, Dallas Texas is doing it. It's just like, okay, whether we're up or not, we're still going in the right direction because we want to see everybody win. That's everybody right here.

We don't care who you is or whether we know you or not. We want to see you win. So we're seeing the positivity and what's going on in Dallas. I mean, I said it was that, but I think we're on a up and at them. Of course, the hood loves you, right? But I notice a lot with Big X, the plug,

is crossover loves you. Yeah. I was in South by Southwest. You were performing Rolling Stone. So how did that feel when you started seeing it step outside of the hood and step outside of your normal. Why do white people like you? That's what he's trying to happen. Now, I just, that is a feel because it's, you know, I'm looking at the crowd like in South by Southwest and you're seeing all these white people knowing every lyric.

I heard festival, yeah. Oh my God, they was going crazy for you. I heard festival. I mean, so coming up, I used to be one of those kids that walked around with the mug on his face 24-7, I felt like I had something to prove, oh, I want to be mean than you, bad, than you. But, nigga, you're 6 to 300 pounds. You ain't got to do that. You know what I'm saying?

You ain't got to do that. But I actually learned that in jail. I walked in the jail thinking I'm really bad ass. And one of the OGs walked up to me gave me a bowling super super sysa. You ain't got to do that. We know you bad. You in jail. Smile.

That's what somebody, a person is going to either stay away or miss with that person that look like the happy go go lucky person. When they miss with you, they're going to miss with you. And they're going to underestimate you. They're going to think, oh, you're just a funny guy, you ain't got nothing, and you're going to whip their ass. Or they're just not going to approach you at all. So that's just how I'm moving.

So I guess when it comes to them, I'm smiles. And so it makes them feel welcome, comfortable. And my dad has been a yes, sir, no sir, yes, ma'am, no ma'am. And my daddy always told me that I was going to take me a long way. My grandma told me the same thing. My grandma used to say, manners would take you when money won't. No, for sure, for sure. I don't know if that's just some down south.

I don't know, but that's just how I was raised. Like I said, it got me here. I've been in rooms with people that I never thought I'd be in front of and just me saying, yes, sir, and having a firm handshake, then got me a far place. Now, also, I was going to ask, independent. So you're not signed to a major. What made you stay independent?

Yeah, you were independent through Steve Stout, right? United Masters, yes. What made you stay independent opposed to it? We got to go back to that because I laugh was for something. but maybe stay independent. So, boom, when I first stepped in, first off, I'm not a rapper. I'm not a...

I'm not. I've become a artist with me doing this. No, I wouldn't even a plug. Like, yeah, I did, but indelble, but my dream was, I was a football player. I played football my whole life. I was going to ask you why rapping, not the cowboys. First off, I won't play for them cowboys.

But go ahead, continue. All right, too. Giant, man. But, no, yeah, just, when I first started out, I was a football player. Like, when me and him met, we at the same high school, most scholarships in the school. So that's the type of time I was on.

But it's just, you know, when you go down that road and certain stuff don't work out for you, you got to try to figure it out. And I was lost for a long time. And it took for me to have my first kid. And then even when I had my first kid, I still didn't realize you guys might depend on you. It took me to miss his first birthday for me to really just lock in.

And I had to figure something out. what I was doing I couldn't do no more because I had made promises to my son. And I ain't, I can't break that, you know what I'm saying? So I'm already missed the first birthday. It can't, can't hurt you no more than that. And so it just was a situation where I was just stuck didn't know what to do. I was doing bad, trying not to do bad. This nigga's been right since he was nine years old.

And so when I met him like just as a, we met as friends before we knew he was related. You know, it was one of those situations where we're just doing music and then your daddy see each other and they'd be like, Blue, Bay, what? Then you know that you could? It was one of them situations. And so whenever, it's like we're in high school, we're seniors, you know, you don't care about nothing, but

as a male, you don't care nothing about females. And, you know what I'm saying? And at the time, it was going to college. 2016, everybody that was as a senior or in high school, you wanted to go to college. And so that's what it was. It was either Coochie or college. And for sure. And while we used to had this park that was by my house,

because I'm 16, 17, my own house. And so we used to all chill at my shit, or sometimes we would go walk to the park. When we would go to the park, we're with girls. While we all with them girls, conversating with them girls, he is the only nigger standing at the top of the slide, acting like he'd performing in front of thousands of people.

You know what I'm saying? No, come on. And so as time went on and I'm asking my partners, man, what can I do, what I need to do? And for him to say, nigga, you need to rap. At first, I'm looking at you're like, bro, you just told me

you've been rapping since you was nine years old. You're right here with me still. Are you sure that's going to work? And he was like, bro, you ain't got nothing else to do. You walk around this motherfucker and getting high freestyle in anyway. You might as well put it to you. And thank God he did because he was here.

How'd you had that vision, Rostama? Yeah, it was my vision. So, yeah. I just feel like his voice was something. So it just came about. Was rap a dream you always wanted from day? I mean, football was first, but I've been rapping since I was nine, so second choice. Why you didn't want to do it first?

Why didn't you want to do it at first? Because I was a football player. That's how I knew. Yeah. That's how I knew. Before football, I was just an angry kid. You know what I'm saying? Like, just angry.

I can't tell you why I don't know. I was just an angry kid. And so whenever I met football, that was just like the first, see, telling me I can fuck somebody up and get away with it. I can, I got something I can channel my anger through. And so for the longest football, football got me through high school.

Football got me through all 16, 17 years of my first, you know what I'm saying? Like, football was my first love. So that's what I saw. I didn't see nothing other than that. You got English? Yeah. No, for sure.

For sure. I mean, I probably just. I did do, I just, you know, I smuggled a lot of weed. So it keeps me, you know what I'm saying? They tried to put you on riddling when you was little? For sure. Yeah. But see, like, when they used to put me on riddling,

like, they used to get me the full doses. So I'm going to school, keep in mind I'm bad. I got anger problems. I said, I'm sorry. You can't. Nah, I ain't, I'm, I'm saying. So when I was in elementary school, I slapped my teacher.

You know what I'm saying? So, like, that's the type of spiral in I was on. So I was this. I just remember I was in elementary school. You was in elementary school. What did the teacher do? All right, so I ain't allowed, like, now that I'm not gonna say she did nothing.

It was just, I just was a, I was a wild child. I was going back and forth from my daddy and my mom, both my dad and my mom was selling dope. So it's like even when I'm with my mom and my daddy, they're not really, like, they're caring for me, but they're not paying attention to me. So I'm saying? And so that just kind of was the situation.

But, yeah. When did it change for you? Like, when did you stop being able to? And so it was it the rapping, was it? The riddling. Okay. Oh, that's what I was talking about, the riddling. So boom, they put me on riddling,

because they were trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong with me. And they used to give it to me, and I used to go to school, and I would just take like two or three desks and lay on them and go to sleep. Oh, oh, that. Reilly. But I was so bad, the teachers would be like, it's cool. Like, let that n nigger sleep, for sure. Did you ever go back to that teacher?

It was like, you know what, let me make right. No, I don't even remember her name. I just remember like I slapped the eye twisted the ankle it was a lot of crazy shit she chased me through the school she slapped me back though for sure for sure this was like right around that time where

they had just stopped letting principals paddle kids and shit like that you know what I'm saying like so yeah I ordered you what year was this because I don't remember that I thought you were like I was probably like more southern yeah I don't think we were able to get paddled

gonna be 28. Yeah, I don't remember. That man, we're younger than you, an auntie. Shut up. Time. I'm not saying. So, boom. So boom.

Like I said, I was going back and forth from my mom and my daddy. My daddy stayed in East Texas. So East Texas is like, yeah, yeah, it's the country country. So whenever I went and stayed with him and I'm in Commerce Elementary School and I got three to get paddled, you know what I'm saying? That's where that first.

came from, you know what's going on? And my dad was like, yeah, do it, do it, get him. So I'm my old shit. But then when I go to my mama, it's like, it wasn't that. She slapped my ass back, for sure, though. I slapped her, she slapped me back, and I ran around the school and she chased me. I'm so glad they wanted to put me on riddley,

but my daddy wouldn't let him. Daddy was like, he don't need no riddle, he just needed his ass beat. No, for sure, that she used to put me down. And that's what my daddy used to say. And he'll need no riddle, he just needed his ass beat. And he would come give me, and I'd be right and then, yeah. It literally took for nine years old,

my mama went and drove me all the way to Commerce, Texas, and dropped me off. Like, and my daddy dough didn't even tell him she was coming on nothing, and she was like, go knock on that door. I go knock on the door, I turn around, my bags out the car, and she pulled it off. Turn around a big six, eight niggled looking out the door.

Like, yeah, I had been going back and forth for my dad before, but this was like the, yeah, this is it. My mama couldn't do it anymore. Before she took me to my dad, dad house she drove me to a uh uh basically a youth penitentiary and was like get out i was like early start i'm like hell no i'm no i'm not getting out okay bet i got something worse for you then took me to my dad got you right though no for sure that's the best thing she ever did for me so then

football and then you get into music thanks for osama yeah and then so what made you go the united master's way and i know i mentioned c star earlier and you like laughed a bit like what uh so i went Like I said, I look at, I'm a football player, so I looked at everything in a football mindset. So when I first started the music situation, I was like, I don't know nothing about this shit. I don't know nothing about it. So why would I put myself in a situation that I don't know.

I don't like doing nothing. I don't like having, I don't like not having control and not knowing what the fuck is going on. Like if I'm in here right now and everybody just get up and start running, I'm going to get mad. Because I'm like, why? Why? What the fuck?

Ain't anybody anybody saying? Tell me what you running. Of course I'm a run. That's just a nitty instinct. But once we're done running and we done sat down, I'm going to ask you, bro, why the fuck you ain't just telling me what's going on? So I could have knew. You just got me to drive running.

So that's, that's me. I just don't like doing stuff that I don't know what I'm doing. So, and it just was crazy. I had a manager at the time. He was my uncle. I'm going to tell the real. He ended up giving me $20,000. Damn.

You know what I'm saying? Like, now that's not a big amount of money. He's still married to my, he's not even my uncle about, he was my uncle about marriage. but he's still around. At the end of the day, I don't really, I was fucked up with him at first. But at the end of the day, it's like,

you really saved me because he was the one that was like, man, I feel like if we really just do this, I know you already, he's the one who put it in that mindset because he knew I had a football mindset, so he's like, look at it as this is a juke up. Like, you don't want to go to no D1 college and you don't start, or you get redshirted.

Now you don't waste it a year of your life, You don't waste your time. Go somewhere where you can be a factor, make a name for yourself and you're building at the same time. And now the masses was the way. And at this time, so like Rosama and all the crew, are they still along with you, or you started building that? So nobody else was here.

It was just me and road. Me, Roe, my assistant network, my road manager now, yeah, it was my day ones. It was just us. I mean, even when I did it, like, to me it was, but now I look back on it, it wasn't. The money, the situation, like, it just wasn't. So I'm, I don't got me a little, what, 1-25 bag,

and I'm coming to my people like, come on, we're going to go to the mall, I'm going to buy y'all shit, we're going to go crazy. And this is when I knew that they was my real friends. When we got to that mall, they was like, nika, is you crazy? Nick, whatever you was going to buy me, go buy some clothes for you, son. Like, go, go do that.

I'm good. good and so that first bag there nobody touched that with me and my family and that second bag my granny told me my granny as soon as I got the bag she said all those boys that been around you and that's been taking care you and making sure you straight bless that game it's dope it's dope because it was rose dream yeah and you kind of just took it ass out this is playful effort and it took off that you know you and roll stayed together because I think most people might have felt a little jealous you know I mean because this is my dream this is what I wanted and you took off before me so so how was that and how weren't you jealousers because

most artists would have been like damn that was my dream that was my because he know I don't want this shit yeah yeah I didn't know man he just doing what he got to do I know he gonna give me in the door and wants to give me in the door shit it's there I'm not like I said I'm not no rap I don't want him to do this shit but I'd rather be a CEO I'm trying I don't still right now big eggs it's too much come with it what about it that you young really effort like that like what is it the main thing that you ain't with you Really everything.

The attention and... I ain't never, that's never been me. Like I, don't get me wrong in high school, we were the niggins. We was always the niggas. But it was just always, like I also come from a different, just background. So it's like, you don't really want too many people in your business. Like, everybody in the world knows my government. Half the world know my address on some crazy shit.

Like that's, that's not me. But then it's also just, this is a very, very, very weird industry. and it's a lot of very, very, very weird people in it. Canadian women are looking for more. More to themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world are out of them. And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast. I'm Jennifer Stewart.

In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing.

And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband. So keep this secret for so many years. He's like a seasoned pro. This is a story about the end of a marriage. But it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark.

You're a dangerous person who prays unvulnerable and trusting people. You're a predator, Michael Levin Good. Listen to Betrayal Season 5 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpbright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun.

Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Tremaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Germain was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth, until a confession changed everything.

I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is It Girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success,

but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative. in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye.

Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day, just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?

He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wag A Geddon? change the paddock forever. That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One Culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps,

scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, and it's like you either adjust to it or you fall into it, but those people that adjust to it, they're the ones that go through it the most because they're still trying to stay true to themselves.

Those ones that fall into it and dizzle and dab, those are the ones that end up doing dope or end up, you know what I'm saying? That ain't me, that ain't this. Then when I hear you tell a story about the police, I think about, you know, because I always thought it was strange when you had your album release party. And went to drill.

They locked you up before your album release party. To me, sometimes when I see stuff like that happening to somebody's hometown, that's a humbling. That's them trying to humble you. No, for sure. But it's like, how can you humble somebody who take care of the fucking city? I don't see how you can do that.

I'm making a, I'm feeling to go to an album release for a country album. Not no drill album, not no shooting up, bang, bang, for a country album. It's called I hope you're happy. I hope you're happy. talking about how I'm hurt and here y'all is taking me to jail for

they pulled me over because my plate wasn't in my on the front of my car keep in mind I got all you know what I'm saying fancy vehicles with the fuck I got like drilling holes in the front of my I got the back one up though

but overstayed this rule they check my car I got my gun in Texas you can carry your gun somewhere between the last three or four times I had got locked there for a unlawful carry that that have all been beat, by the way,

they put a, they labeled me as a high-ranking gang member. Didn't tell me, didn't tell my attorneys, nothing, nothing. So as a gang member, you can't have a gun. That is considered unlawful carry.

So here I am traveling with a gun, thinking I'm doing the right thing. It's hosted right, put up right, and I go to jail because I'm a high-ranking gang member. That's crazy. And then you ask them what gang, and they say, you tell me. so it's like that's just a situation you can't win

what does the six represent to you 600 so boom 600 to me is a block like that's that's the block that I started from like yeah I'm from Pleasant Grove which is but that's not where I jumped out of the porch I'm not going to lie I'm not going to

I ain't jump off the porch in the grove yeah I stayed that I was born and this day and another I jumped off the portion of Ferris, Texas, 600 block. That's where I started doing my shit, you know what I'm saying? And so that's what I claim. That's what I read. That's when I started rapping, that's one of my biggest hood videos I shot in the middle of the hood. So to me, that's just my neighborhood.

That's my block. I just made it into something bigger, you know what I'm saying? Something that could mean more. So was it 600 with attitude or? No, it's, so it's either 600 way attitude or sixers' way attitude. We call ourselves sixers. It's like a, well, you know, like the 70-sixers. Yeah, yeah.

We're sixers. I heard that. I was like, nope, they're not going to like that in Toronto. Sting, not going to like that one. Toronto's the six. You call themselves sixers too. No, I think we're going to be good. I stay out of his way.

Stay out of my mistake. How long are the rest of you all been doing music? You know what? I've been doing music for probably like nine or eight years old. They didn't tell them your age. I'm 35. 35. And,

baby girl? Yeah. You ain't tell the ladies they tell them you. You know better. You got some bad. You know not to have the lady that. You know not to have the lady that. You brother?

Now, you also said that the industry was weird. So what's the weirdest thing that you've seen in the industry that you was like, nah, this ain't for me? Did he party? No. I ain't been to be a ditty party, but I definitely want to go to one. But, like, not on, like, they said it's like three different stages. Yeah.

What I'm saying? Go ahead. Because I know what you mean. She said he heard. I would go. She's been there before. She used to work at him. What's the age of that, Lord?

No, tell me the same. You used to work at the ditty party? She's not like a sex worker or nothing. I work here. Well, okay. She said I work in here. Explain the stages and then I'll explain. Well, I don't, I've never been, so I can't really.

I'm just going based off what I've heard, but I heard like the. It's like the first step is the, uh, meet and greed. Everybody's shaking each other. The second one, the second one is where you kind of like start removing the, you know what I'm saying? Hey, it's gonna go down. You might want to leave. Yeah, yeah. That's like, that's like the end of the second quarter. You know what I'm doing.

Yeah. And then that third quarter is, it's, yeah. Yeah. I didn't go to that. I didn't go to that. I didn't go to that. I didn't get a regular. I mean, I wouldn't say I DJed a ditty party either because that means you DJed butt naked.

You don't know. I did. But what's the weirdest thing that you've seen that? You was like, nah, this industry here for me. I mean, if we're being honest, I kind of, like, I'm a reader. You know what I'm saying? So I can kind of notice if you're weird or not before I even,

you know what I'm saying? So I kind of, that keeps me out of situations and what keep me out a lot of situations is I don't go nowhere by myself so like anywhere I go I take them and so they kind of it saved me in a lot of situations

so like when Grammy parties and she'll be coming they be like oh it's an all white party it's gonna be live I'll be like I bet I can bring my people right and just you even at your point your level right now yeah for sure

what that's how I know they'd be doing crazy shit in me because there's certain parties where they'd be like, oh yeah, bed, come on. All yeah, you're good. And then it's always the parties that's a color. White, all gray party. You know what I'm saying?

Those are the ones where they like, oh, no, it's just you. No, I'm straight. I'm good. I don't need to go there. How is it, right, when you got your crew with you? Because they always say, make sure you get yourself through this. Because, you know, you travel light, you travel far. Yeah.

Has it been hard in trying to bring your whole squad, what you're trying to put the whole Dallas on? Honestly, yes. But I mean, that's what happened when you think he's Superman. You know what I'm saying? It's part of it. Yeah. So how do you make sure you build in a movement and not just a moment?

Uh, shit like this. We all got these goddamn letterman's on. Like, we've been wearing black for like seven months. Like, we just, like, no bullshit. I'm ready to put some colors on. I was like to put some colors on. I was like, yeah. He's not going to wear black.

Like, these two are like the stylish ones. Okay. They wear vibrant, baggy. You know what I'm saying? Like, they do that shit. And so it's hurting them right now. What's the significance of the moving in all black and in unison just from a, you know, product perspective?

Just for one, just to show that we are all on the same type of tongue. Exactly. And then for, like I said, 6WA, I mean, six is with attitude. I feel like you can't wear pink or blue in and say, oh, we got attitude. You can't do that. Like, if you do, you got to say it like that. attitude you can't. You know what I'm saying?

So we just, yeah, we are black. Yeah. Outside of just like I can do it too, what do you want people to take from the movement that you're building? Kind of just like, I see just going back to the original things like, because at the end of the day, it's a certain thing, it's freedom of speech and shit like that. So it's like we can't, even though we shouldn't be having to point back at those. those things because I mean they in the constitute like they you know what I'm saying like this is in big

ass books in the white house and shit and we all learned all through school and they're all telling me that I'm a registered gang I'm a high-ranking registered gang member of no gang because of what I'm saying in my raps that go back to the whole young thug case they end up and play out his music and so on and so on can't do that I see you got snoop and deal see on album how did uh collaborations come about? We just knew we needed. We can't, we couldn't do like a West Coast themed project and not have validation from the West Coast. I mean, but DOC is not for sure, for sure. So we went Snoop first, Snoop and he was the one that was like, man, I got to get DOC, man, from D from Dallas. I mean, we had, like, some of my people had already spoke on it, but I was just like, we need somebody

that's gone. Because I know DEOC not from the West, you know. So I'm like, no, we need. somebody that's West Coast. But when we talked to Snoop, and Snoop was like, you've got to get D.O.C. And that's, he is exactly what y'all doing. And so,

it was just a given. He got their raspberry voice on there. Yeah. He did what he had to do? What type of inspiration did the DOSC provide for y'all coming up? Is that way too? That's two before y'all time.

Yeah, I was going to say, that's more his era. That ain't, that ain't my era. You got her wearing black talking about things. It was not my area. But the DMC, like, I grew up on, I know, I know about it, you know what I'm saying,

in the formula and shit. So, like, I was just, I had just, I had brunk it up to bro, like, we should bring, you know, because he's from Oak Cliff, Texas. You know what I'm saying? He's the same thing, how Roe was doing with help him with the, with the writing. So some of them greatest tracks that you ever heard

was because of bro, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, like, it all, it all come in, in the order, you know what I'm saying? We're just going off, like, that's where it comes from. The Liles fucking would have been. being arrested for nothing.

Just like how they were arrested, bro. I've been arrested. Just chilling because the police is just attacking us. You know what I'm saying? My brother being attacked right now, all of us in some type of fashion or form. You know what I'm saying? So we're just getting on the track

and telling them what the fuck they don't want her. Like going against the ground. Either hate it or love, y'all already going against it anyway. How do y'all develop your own identities, right? You know, Big X, he definitely got his own wave. He got his sound. How do y'all develop your own identity?

shit we just stay doing this you know what I'm saying so we feed off each other you know what I'm saying so like um like me I feel like I'm I don't write nothing so I just go on there and do what I do um Rose like uh he's like uh he's one with ideas like uh the 6 W.A song it's how he came you know it was uh it was on Rose so that's probably probably why he came in so hard like the fucking he came in on there you know what I'm saying he studied he's looking he really looking to the history of the music you know what I'm saying and treated like class, you know. So, like, really, we just got our own style. We don't look at this competition.

We just do us. And, like, bro, just came and, you know, help, you know what I'm saying? Like, when I met bro before he, right before he had dropped the Texas song, and he just told me he was going to come get me and shit, he kept his word. Wow. You know what I'm saying? You know, how does the right work? I know one time you were talking about the largest, and you were saying,

Roel helped you with that. So is it accumulative effort where y'all all getting there and throw ideas at each other? Wait, can you say that one more, too? I know they did an interview one more, too? I know. I know they did an interview one. time and you were saying roll help with the largest. You're helping writing hooks.

When y'all recorded, do y'all in the studio together throwing ideas against the wall? Oh yeah, we literally get a big-ass house somewhere ducked off in maybe 12, 13 bedrooms, all my artists, all my producers, my A&Rs, we all just stay in the same house, we wake up, go to sleep together, and we just buy whatever happened, happened. Not together.

Nobody was thinking that, Roe. I let you know. And let you know his mind there. And I also want to let y'all know. He had me in the bathroom trying to reverse my drawers because he doesn't tell me my drawers was inside out. Come on, Rob. Hey.

But wait, wait, wait, wait, but wait. You not going to clear that one, no, bro? What? So what is that? Yeah, so what that mean? That means he was looking at my ass, right? And it's my cousin. Hey, this nigga, crazy.

I don't know what he's talking about. What's crazy? No, no, no, no. No, no, no. You're not in your pants? Yeah, I'm a big. I bent over the top of my shoes probably came out. But they wouldn't, though.

I don't went to the bag, and I'm a big nigga. So, you know what I'm saying? I don't went there. I had to take my shoes off. Man, I didn't take my shoes off. I didn't take my pants all the way out. Now, I thought about it. I said, I can't just leave my pants right here on the flow

because they ain't going to think something going on. So now I'm holding my pants while I'm trying to check my jaws. I don't want to take my jaws all the way off. Was it in the mirror in that? Nah. I'm a tear. About the star? Because how did you see?

I'm flexible. I look between my leg. I pulled my drawers there and looked between my legs. I can see if the tag. Why you did that ass roof? Why you said you're the only right now? Hey, y'all is cruel. Your brothers, man.

That's crazy. If you can tell them that his drawers inside out, you can tell somebody that right way. Somebody told me. So now somebody else looking at my head. And that's my good thing. You know what I'm saying? That's my job.

He didn't protect me. That's crazy. You let them look at my ass and he proceeded to look at my ass with him. Damn. No, I did it. I just told you. That's like you're having a bugging in your nose. Hey, it's a bug in your nose.

He's trying to make sure you're straight. That's not the same day. You shouldn't even be looking below my waves to even see that my drive inside. I relayed the message. That's something like when I, that's something you get in trouble about. You got it. And then I know what's crazy. I got scared like this is my woman or something.

You got it, bro. I got scared like he. What you mean? My drive? Nah, my drive. I hadn't been no way. I didn't know.

I don't know. What he's talking about? Is this a family or a business? Because the reason I said, it can't be both without conflict. It's been a lot of conflict. Okay. What's been the biggest conflict?

Oh. No, man, it's just, I mean, it's just, I mean, 600 NT is a, it's an up-and-coming label. It's not a fucking Atlantic. It's not a, you know what I'm saying? I'm literally building this from the ground up, damn near by myself.

You know what I'm saying? So it's not going to happen overnight. It's not going to happen in a week, but it's happening. You know what I'm saying? And so I kind of, everybody that's right here, they didn't come here because they got the biggest bag or because they got the best song. They came here because they believed in the process. And what I was telling them, you know what I'm saying?

you could tell it's authentic and it's not no, I don't, listen, I got money gang. I don't need money out money. I don't, you know, ask Kim his first deals, published his deals there, I didn't take nothing from it. I don't want nothing from it. That's not my goal. My goal is to get you out of here. Like I said, at the end of the day, the only thing I'm going to get out of it is the fact

that I'm a CEO. But does your artist know that as patience, like, because it could take a year or it could take six years? Some of them, no. Some of them know. Yeah, some of them know. Is that the biggest thing you got to deal with? We had the ride. I rode, man, 12 deep and spread his head to foot,

the dick's sock, dirty socks. Before he even got signed. No, that was after I signed you. No, no, that was before you got signed. No, no, that was. The whole year before. Yeah, for sure. Roe been with me, like I said.

Roe was with me for two, three years if I even made the label. Two, two. The whole way. No bullshit. So. King, how you being the only female, how does that, how does that make you feel?

you feel sometimes is it a lot of pressure because all these heavy hit a spitters like how do you feel being only female can you got to the mic i'm sorry can you got to the mic can i wouldn't say a lot of pressure i would basically say like come close to the mic hey nick that's my big brother she's shy okay so i wouldn't say it's a lot of pressure i would say they all help me in some type of way to push me to be better because there's a lot of people in the records out here and there's competition but you know

I wouldn't say it's hard or anything like that I thought you was Gorilla on the Whodunit record you thought I was gonna say it because you kept saying her name am I tripping I said Gorilla Gorilla okay I was confused she just from Louisiana

so it's you know what I'm saying yeah yeah fucking accent yeah it's fake What kind of boss is, what kind of boss are you, Big X? Because everybody want to be easy-e, but not everybody know how to run a label. My, for sure. What type of, I'm a boss that, and then sometimes it fuck me, because I'm a boss that wear his heart on his sleeve and that move with his heart.

Every decision I make, I do it with my heart sometimes before my brain. And, you know, they kind of put me in position. but hey, like I said, I'm here, I'm built for it. Gotta be, so. What kind of boss y'all think he is? No, I thought he's a good boss. Yeah, that's all, man, that niggas suck. Well, that's the nigga that was looking at my ass.

I got that, that was why. See, see, you know what I'm saying? But see, you, you didn't even have to do that. We could have left for it was it. What you said, you think he a good boy? Yeah, what I said? You know what I said? We were just running to each other just from, you know, outside and shit.

He didn't have to, some million niggas that he got around. With the studio that we made it, it was probably, shit. I don't know. I can't tell you how many niggas was up there recording. He made a lot of niggas before me. Well, you know, I don't know if it was just he seeing my work after what I was doing on my own or whatever. But for somebody even just to keep their words, shit, bro, have a lot of shit going on. Bro, he was doing very well for itself, shit.

So for him to remember. And the way he even did it, you know what I'm saying? He didn't tell me shit. you know what I'm saying invited me to a show and popped out and it was like welcome to new orders

you know what I'm saying how often do y'all fight you're a row fight because y'all seem like your brother's like y'all could get into a tussling and then y'all back in my brother yeah hey I ain't gonna lie

we probably would have we'd kill these other back there but now it's like we hardly ever yeah disagree yeah because it was like

no that's care no no that's cat we don't get too like off no bullshit we ain't argued in like a long like fighting argued in a long long time like years but that's because we like we know each other now like I know when he's trying to push my buttons he know what I'm trying to push he is

I know when he's bullshit and he knows when I'm bullshit and yeah we just know each other now so it's yeah not that you are like you know responsible for all of their not responsible but you're in a position where you brought them in what are you teaching them about business on the back end that you had to learn yourself because you came in independent I mean Really, it's kind of, I feel like it's a given because I'm not moving as, and this is probably a downfall for me, I'm not moving as a label.

A label. You don't have them signed, basically. No, they're signed, for sure. But, like, I just, like, when you sign to a label, a nigga get a publisher deal, you get pieces of that. I don't, I ain't did that. You don't take nothing from that. Yeah, like, I literally am, I see myself as a,

opportunist, I guess. I'm just the person to put you in front of these people for you to steal the show. Even with this, like, yeah, this might be for me, but I'm hoping one of them steal the show because that's going to help me out a long run over, you know what I'm saying? I don't, yeah.

Are you prepared for the politics that come with putting all these different egos under one umbrella? I got to be. All right. Got to be. So it might be. It bothered me at the beginning, but shit,

that's what, when you're doing something that you're uncomfortable with, it's part of it. You gotta do it to you comfortable. And another thing, too, you gotta be one of these guys that, like, you should hope, one or all of them blow up to be big in you. No, for sure, for sure.

You see a lot of people, they're not secure enough to let that happen. No, for sure. I'm not a rapper. I just figured out how to be an artist. I don't, too much. As right now, my kids can go to any college in the world they want to and will be straight after that.

That's what I cared about. That's why I do everything I do. I don't give a fuck about rapping shows. I love my fans, but they know this nigga I want to do this shit. You know what I'm saying? She do it so well. I appreciate you. I appreciate you.

There was this video, your Rolling Stone interview, and they were asking you about why you do music. He was like, I just want to take care of my kids. And people thought that that was like, oh, my God, I'm like, that's, it makes sense. Like, you should want to take care of your family. But I saw people in the comments being like, he gets it. Like he's focused. I don't know why that was such a profound thing. Like, it should be the focus.

I mean, as much as, I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody that got kids here, that are fathers that have baby fathers or husbands, y'all are pretty goddamn good at your job. You know what I'm saying? Like, y'all like doing what you're doing for y'all kids. A lot of people don't do that. And I was almost one of those people. Because remember I told y'all, I had my son,

and I still didn't realize my son. purpose. It took for me to have to video call him on his first birthday for me to be like, damn, somebody really depending on me. Like, it's somebody else out here other than me. Like, yeah, you know, I got my mama, but these are the same people that told me, you know, at this point of time, which is understandable, like, you're not on the right path. You're not going to be shit. You're not doing the right shit to be shit. So, and so it's like, when you got that, and then it's like, you got a kid I don't know, it's just different

so, but with me saying that, it's also not common fathers being good father. You got to break the cycle. Exactly, and you still want more?

Of course. My daddy got, who got seven kids? No, I said you said you wanted seven kids. I don't know about the other thing. I don't know about the mother's. But, no, I want more to serve. I want a big family.

I grew up in a big family, like, even on both sides. Like, I used to love going to family unions, even though family reunions is only when, like, that one person that hold the family together, die. But it's like, I used to love going to them because it's like, man, I got family all over the world that's just here. Like, I got cousins I ain't seen in years now that it's here. And it's the same thing.

Like, right now I got a big-ass house, 10 people standing. Comfortably. my mom and my granny, my sisters, both my sisters, my brother, my daughters, my old lady, her kids, because that's where I come from. I come from everybody waking up together on Christmas, like whether you, there or not everybody just had Granny House, you know what I'm saying?

So that's what I'm on, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's what I'm trying to rebuild, rebrand. I'm trying to leave my name in a, in the green area, if that makes it. So what does success look like for 6WA? Is it screams? Is it money? Is it cultural impact?

Like, what y'all want this project to do? I wanted to do different things for certain people. One, this project was not for me. I didn't do this project to be a bigger artist or, oh, this is a good, no, I did everything that I did on this project for them. And so, like, boom, G.B. and Kane, they only got one song on the whole project.

when that whole motherfucker go to platinum they still gonna get that plaque that's an accolade that she looked good when them publishing companies and shit come you know what I'm saying

so that's what in their case that's what it is and it's also going to be a great rubber band launch for them it's their first song I mean with me and

me and GB already dropped the song but it's still going to be on the table she's going to give her extra push push shit further than what it did the song I got with Kane

it's just going to be like I said that rubber band push for her with Roe Ro Ro on like eight and nine songs Yeah but Roe I mean when it first started it was just me Roe Hood and PB

I just signed Kane and GB I just signed them like what A couple months ago Yeah so it ain't been that long but So when we did the project That was a big situation too Because they was like man You know this this project means something to us

You sure you want to just throw them on it And I was like man Y'all right all right but then I thought about it I'm like at the end of the day this is I mean even though we had what we had going our plan for

we can still do that but it's not just like I said I'm not just doing this for me I'm not just doing this for you I'm not just doing this for you I'm doing this for everybody in the label and so that's what we're doing but with Roe like I said

Roe is literally at the hump and I think this is going I know this is going to throw him over the hump We haven't dropped, what, it's three, four songs of the project already out. Project number 18 hip-hop albums right now. It ain't even out. We're 17, my fault.

And if we're being honest, it's probably because of 6WA, Mr. Well, it's the Lokes to groove. Because shit is going crazy. That's my favorite one on the album, Brian. I like that safe to say. That's the one that y'all flipped like it's a, uh, Today was a good day, right? Yeah, that's your heart.

You like that song? Yeah, yeah. Don't like that? Damn. You don't like that you? It was cool. It was just, I feel like, you know, a lot of people don't really, they're not, they're not actually listening to words. You know what I'm saying?

It's like we're telling a story all the way through. We literally tell the story about our day before the 6th of 40, and a lot of people not going to listen to that. You know what I'm saying? They want some of that's going to catch their attention. whether it's a catchy hook or a certain bar, we literally just, you know what I'm saying, kind of talking, telling the story, and a lot of people might not like it, you know what I'm saying?

So, yeah, but that was just, I feel like that was something we put on there just because of the theme. Nah, I feel like he had a good ear because it's like, it's the song that carry up to the six of parties. So I feel like he understand it. That's why I shocked me.

I'm like, damn, you like that. He was around when the internet was I was, but now the record, it gave you that it was a good day feel and then after hearing the story about how police be harassing y'all all the time, it makes sense. And then going into Sixth Party with Snoop,

I'm like, oh, okay, they got to the party safe, all right? Yeah, sure, sure. Damn, that's crazy. Let's play some off the album. You want to hear some off the album? Yeah, whatever. What we did to? I want to play.

That's whatever to y'all. I want to play six W.A. Uh-huh. Okay. I like that. We can play something else too, so we'll play 6WA. What else y'all?

I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl. This podcast is all about going deeper with the women's shaping culture right now. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work behind it all. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity.

You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
