Just be putting out albums At this point Yeah but you know It be different It be hard Like when you're dealing With the labels and shit Like when they count

They count They count albums different Money wise Like for mixtapes It's just like Label politics But for me But for me

Like I think I don't put I put more work Into an album Than the mixtapes, it's just like label politics. But for me, like I think I don't put, I put more work into an album than the mixtape. Mixtape is kind of like for the streets, core fan base, shit like that. So where did that money come from now? Cause you still put it up on the streaming services, right? So is that something that go directly to you? That's the label still involved with that?

No, when I say like money wise, I mean like if you do it, like when you do a a deal like if you do like a four hour deal right you do a mixtape they won't it won't go one towards your album so it's like they still got you in it locked in gotcha oh i get what you're saying so if you got like a five album deal mixtape don't count they don't care yeah but this is good because now we can go back i'm from new york so i know a lot about fabio but for people that don't know you were bubbling in New York for a while

and you did a Mace how did you link up with Mace for people that don't know you would sign your deal through Mace for people that don't know so how did that happen either you tired of telling this story

I'm sure you're tired but a lot of people don't know a lot of people don't know a lot of people don't nah I had before I had the big drip joint, I had some song called

Licky in a Box and shit. Yep. And, you know, I was like, yeah, like, I was like bubbling in Brooklyn. You know what I'm saying? Look, I ain't have a million views yet, but I was lit in Brooklyn like people knew. So, you know what I'm saying? Mase came, and he was like, yo, I want to sign you. I was like, all right, bet.

So it was around that time now when you did when you did the deal with mace what made you want to sign with mace was it his predigree was it the fact that he's been doing it for so long because at the time they were telling me that a lot of labels were reaching out to you and the reason i know is like i said you would be running the streets all the time yeah nah nah um yeah i just his name like his name see i knew his name you know i'm saying like i knew his name his name i'm like yeah i bet like and i was not the labels ain't even really start reaching out yet so like it was it was like one of the first persons and like signed deal i was like where i just did it like i was first like i'm like i thought i was

going from there i thought I was gone. From there, I thought it was over. Did you have lawyers look at the contract at the time? No, no. So you just signed no? Yeah, I thought it was over. Jesus Christ, Fabio. When you say you thought it was over, you mean like you thought you was about to blow up?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. I thought I was about to blow up. I thought I was gone. Did we even ask you how you doing, man? How are you? Yeah, we did. I asked him the first thing he said, how's he doing? He said he was good.

Okay. I remember on that pain pressure record, you said, I go through a lot, but I hold it together. Yeah. You know what I mean? How would you describe

those challenges you're facing when you say you go through a lot, but you're holding it together? I mean, you know, like I'm saying, we should go through like your private shit. Like you still got to come outside.

You still got to work for the people. You know what I'm saying? You still got to go to work. You still got to do what you got to do every night in the studio. through like yeah like your private like you still gotta come outside you still gotta work for the people you know i'm saying you still gotta go to work you still gotta do what you gotta do every night in the studio i'm saying you still gotta be in the club you still gotta shake hands you still gotta do everything you gotta do so i'm saying you can't you gotta you gotta hold that together you can't even show that that's what i'm saying is it hard is it hard oh good yeah i was gonna ask you why is only there's only 10 songs on a mixtape. Only 10 joints? Mm-hmm.

Nah, that's because, you know, it's a mixtape. I just wanted them to be short. To the point, I'm saying pain and love, like a couple pain joints, a couple love joints, like make it smooth. Got you. As far as I know, you still live in in new york you still here in the city why have you why you haven't felt the need to leave like a lot of artists do a lot of artists go live in atlanta they go live in atlanta why you feel the need to still be here i don't know

i just i don't feel like i feel like i feel like i should leave too though but i just ain't leave yet but i think i should leave too though. But I just ain't leave yet, but I think I should leave too. Cause like, you know what I'm saying? You just, you just, you just, you just get away from like all the regular type of like shit that you got

access to. You don't really need access to just go out of town. You know, I'm in Jersey, but New York is like 20 minutes away, but you know what I'm saying? The access to that is like, you don't really want that too much.

The access to like your, your old yeah yeah yeah you go back you up the block let me go to new york for a minute let me go to town for a minute but anything happened anywhere because you got into an incident in atlanta one time so it really don't matter yeah it don't it don't matter where you at but it's still like it, it's like, you know, like, that's like, you know, you go out, people know where you at. But it's like on your regular off days when you just chilling, you don't want to be like having like that much access to like negativity. Where do you feel safer at nowadays? Where do I feel safer at? I don't know.

I don't know I don't know in the house it's in the house right yeah you got Meek Mill on this project so on Twitter I seen he said he charged a quarter million $250,000 for a verse

that's what you paid him nah nah nah nah that's what you paid him no no no okay no that's my boy so like like you know me and meek todd did differently i'm saying like on some like family type of vibes like so it's like you know his people is my people like my people is his people type vibes like for me like we all we all like got the same like circle type circle type of shit. So it was different. It was, like, more love joint. Like, so, and then I think he liked the joint so much. You know what I'm saying? He wasn't even thinking about none of that money shit.

Like, the song was fire. Like, he liked it. You know what I'm saying? Then we did a couple joints. We did two. He got one coming out, too. Have you spoken to Meek about About that Some of the stuff that

You've been going through Because it seems like Meek was going through it Early on in his career With family members Wanting money And everybody With their hand out

Yeah I think I tell you I think that's He was one of He was one of like The main people like That I was wanting to talk to From the jump

Like for me Because it's like Like So when I When I was looking at it Like when I was wanting to talk to from the jump, like, for me, because it's, like, like, so when I was looking at it, like, when I was coming up, and, you know, everybody coming up, anybody, like, that's from, like, the hood or, like, the bottom or, like, the trenches, you know, go to anything, niggas look at me as one of those type of niggas, like, that relate to him the most.

So I've been wanting to holler at him about mad shit, but by the time, you know what I'm saying, I got to really talk to him the most. So I've been wanting to holler at him about mad shit, but by the time, you know what I'm saying, I got to really talk to him. Like, one of the things I was going through, he was going through, like, I think he was going through, like, the similar type of shit, and, you know, he's still going through that. Like, we still going through that. Like, I'm sure you going through it,

you know what I'm saying, just entitled people, like, just anybody in them type of positions where, like, you can do something for somebody like you got opportunities for people i'm saying i thought this for like you know people just over want over you want and shit so it should be like for me be asking you for stuff they never made in their life yeah they'll pay you back next friday you get 10 racks till next friday yeah shit like that like you did like like jobs with like friends and

family like you know you want to help them out but it's like somebody a stranger probably work harder like in that position right it's just it's just like like i don't know like it's hard it's hard it's hard to like you know it's hard to say no to same time but it's like damn but when did you realize was it one of those things where your money got low and you was like where'd all my money go or what made you realize when i really realized it when when yeah like when it was moments where it was like you know maybe i couldn't make it there or like i couldn't say yes all the time like and then i seen how people was like tight i'm saying i'm like damn like i said we just good i just hope man like last week i said yeah i'm saying I'm like damn like I said we just good I just hold you down like last week I said yeah I'm saying when they started doing like that I'm like damn it was the ungratefulness

that made me regret it like damn like I don't mind doing for people or nothing like that but it's just like when you don't really like when you don't like there's no gratitude yeah yeah like you ain't even like we ain't even like recognizing it like it's like damn it's up in the sense of entitlement they act like you supposed to do it yeah right oh that's what has it been difficult balancing i'm sorry good and that goes for like friends and family because at one point i i know that you said the dumbest mistake that you ever made was putting your friends before your kids was that like one of the eye openers that you like you actually saw for me yeah hell yeah like it was it was it was I had to had to be like yeah I

bought like a bunch of chains and shit for my homies and shit so when that shit happened I'm like when niggas started like acting like I wasn't really doing enough or doing like damn that's crazy like I did that like I sacrificed that like because you know it's people that's gonna tell you you, yo, you bugging, you dumb already. Right? But you think you're doing the right thing. Until you get smacked in the face. You be like, damn, all right.

I wasn't doing the right thing. Y'all right? Yeah. You said you wanted to keep, I think if I read it, you said you wanted to get a change to your kid. You wish you had a bunch of kids to change? Or did you just mean you wish you'd have kept the money for your kid?

Nah, I just wish I would've. I just wish I would've did like like, something different with the money. You got you. You know what I'm saying? And I could've held off. Maybe we could've got it to change later. Maybe make a little more investments or some shit. And some type of situations, like, you know,

just did something different and gave it, you know what I'm saying, to some people that would appreciate it more. Has it been difficult balancing, like, your personal struggles while being, you know, in the public? balancing your personal struggles While being in the public? Like personal struggles? Yeah, it is

Because like When you're a public person You know what I'm saying? When you're super successful I guess people expect more of you So you might do something little It just seems like It's something bigger expect more of you. So it was like, you might do something like little, and it'd be like, it just seemed like,

it seemed like it's something bigger. You know what I'm saying? It just seemed like something bigger, like, it's just, and then like,

every time, every time somebody mad at you or something, they gonna go to the public, because you know, you probably, everybody's saying, you know what I'm saying?

So that's, should be why. Is it worth it? What? The fame, the money, but shit we got. Is it worth it? What? The fame, the money, but then all the bullshit that come with it? Yeah, I wouldn't change it. I wouldn't give it up. You know what I'm saying?

I ain't tripping over it. It don't bother me too much. You know what I'm saying? Where it's like, I don't want the life no more. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? I steal a lot of blessings. I know where this shit come with, and I'm dealing with it.

But I just learn, and I'm just able to move different it just it just it's just crazy you know i'm saying that you look at some of the people you love how they switch up when you like that's just the that's just crazy like you just wish your things were different you wish it was different now one time we we were talking um and they were saying that you know the hip-hop police at one time was trying to box you out of some of new york clubs we were talking about them really but i seen like that that opened up a little bit for you where they're not doing this so what changed with that relationship or um i just i just started started moving smarter like i'm just saying it like one day like i think i think i think one of the hip- niggas named Sean, he like retired.

And he told me everything that was going on. You know what I'm saying? With everything, new artists coming out, new, like, what's going on. He was just tapped in everywhere.

You know what I'm saying? He kept me on point too. You know what I'm saying? So when he passed away, that shit was wild. On Mav Hoffa podcast, you said one of the ways drill rappers can help with not promoting violence from their music is by explaining it better. Yeah. What did you mean by that? I mean, like, you know, like, instead of going like, you know what I'm saying,

going like, oh, we can't rap about this of going like, you know what I'm saying, going like, oh, we can't rap about this shit or whatever, whatever. I'm saying, because, you know, rappers is like the news, too, at the end of the day, right? So it's like we just, it's like we reporting it. Because it always acts like it's the music making, promoting the balance. But I think the balance is there. And then, you know, the balance is there and then you know the music is reporting it but and then so it's like when you saying it and i'm saying you definitely gotta go on places like this and when you're doing your interviews and let people know

like that's not the thing to do and i'm saying when you do get a chance to talk i'm saying because if you got kids or whoever or people that you love that look up to you you wouldn't want them doing these things and so it was like the same way that you love that look up to you and want them doing these things. So it was like the same way that you got to explain to your fans and people that's following you, like, yeah, this is what I've been through. This is my story or this is what I've seen. And I'm saying, but this ain't what you want to do. And I'm saying, well, you want to do this.

I'm doing this. Like, I'm investing money or I'm going to school. Like, you want to say that part a lot. And I think that's where they fuck up at. they don't tell them the positive stuff they're doing too yeah they just act like they they come up here and act like they still like riding around the cars looking for like i'm saying like yeah it's like they capped they got to live they got to keep capping so it was like but and i'm saying if, if, if niggas start being real, then I think it'll be,

it'll be fire. You made a comment that said, if there's no hole in their body, they ain't get shot. You really don't think Tory shot Megan, do you? I just, I,

like, I come from like a, I'm coming from a point where it's like, you know, I've been in that situation where I've been logged on before. You know what I'm saying? And I mean, like, I'm, I'm i'm i'm like if if if he did it then no i don't condone that he was dead wrong i'm saying like 100 but i don't know i don't be feeling like i don't i don't feel like it just it just was like it was just. It's just a weird thing like this. Like, his fingerprint wasn't on the gun.

It just don't make no sense. So many missing parts, moving parts. Yeah, it's like, it's just not adding up. Like, it's the math ain't really mapping. Like, it's not right. It's like, you know, and then I could see where, and from outside, well, from somebody that's in the industry, I could see where, like, if she would come out and really say, like, he didn't do it all, she would come out and look like a liar.

Like, I could see where that could hurt her career so bad. You know what I'm saying? So I could see why she would lie. Like, I just, you know what I'm saying? So I just, I look at it like that. Yeah. And then, like you said, being lied on, that's also, that comes from a personal experience as well.

Yeah. Yeah. So you got trauma behind it. Yeah. And I think a lot of men go through that. You know what I'm saying? In this world. You know what I'm saying?

So you got to be careful. You got to be real careful. You know what I'm saying? You got to put yourself in a position where you can even get a chance to look like you did some wild shit. You know what I'm saying? I can see why bitches be wanting to fuck.'m gonna see why girls be wonderful he'd be like yeah i can see why you just want to like you like the choir yeah i'm like oh i like that whisper yeah the whisper the sexy voice like yeah
