But if I get in trouble or anything and my mama has to come up to the school, like the teacher would be on a seat my parents, so she know who she is. But she's going to wait to, in front of the whole class, be like,
Starting point is 00:04:13 is such and such a your mama? And I might say yes, I might say no. And then, like, the whole class or no, and then they're going to ask their mama, and it just be a whole little thing. So, yeah, that's when I realized that. How was growing up? Did you grow up, I don't want to say normal, because you had two iconic stars
Starting point is 00:04:32 where you were always on the road. How was growing up with? No, it was normal at times. So, like in my earlier years, I went with my mom. Like, I was, you know, with grandma, so I was in Columbia, South Carolina. 803 to met. Yeah, for sure, 100%.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And, you know, my mama came and got me from Columbia when I was about 12 or 13 and moved me to Atlanta. So when I first moved to Atlanta, that was like a super culture shock. I'm like, yeah, everybody out here got money. Like, we stayed right, like, two those down for Pac-Man Jones, and he was terned. So it was normal, but I tried to be as normal as I could.
Starting point is 00:05:12 But then when people started figuring it out, it was just doing extra stuff, you know. You went back to Columbia. Did you go to USC or am I triven? No. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I go back to Columbia just to visit. I probably got like a three-day limit.
Starting point is 00:05:25 In Colombia. What's one lesson your father taught you about, like, artistry, and then one lesson your mother taught you about discipline? My daddy, like, we never really, sometimes we would discuss, like, music notes and music theater, but we didn't really discuss stuff like that. He really put me on, like, mindset things. Like, this is how you need to be with your business.
Starting point is 00:05:51 This is how you need to be with your team. Like, this is how you need to be with your team. your mental when you get overwhelmed things like that and my mama she ain't have to show me nothing like I seen it like my mama she like she'll be in the hospital
Starting point is 00:06:07 and get out the hospital that night and go to go do the show and nobody know you know what I'm saying she was a real soldier gangster so she didn't have to say nothing I was watching I was living with her and I saw your video that you posted on your Instagram and you just
Starting point is 00:06:23 well first of all I just want to say watching you speak at their funerals it you just there's still like such a joy there or something that I didn't understand I've never been through what you've been through but I don't know if you can kind of like talk us through when we're seeing you you're like making everybody laugh and you're with your family and it's the push-ups and y'all just having a good time I'm like how is he able to you know do that for everybody in a situation he's in I mean that's that's my personality like um I'm not a complainer you know what I'm not like a a a always me guy and I'm always trying to like bring the vibes you know what I'm saying so in a moment
Starting point is 00:07:02 like this when everything be morbid and dark like I'm going to make everybody laugh right you know what I'm saying because that's how my mom was like she was so funny like she she's the funny person you know but she ain't telling no jokes you know so I just I just always try to keep it like man you know even at funeral's like you know not for nothing a funeral be for the living. They're going to be for the dead because they're gone already. So, you know, let's laugh and talk about the good time. That's not
Starting point is 00:07:33 you know, as much as we can't. You know what's interesting? I can tell how much faith you have in God. Because, you know, when you first started the conversation, you said, I mean, they ain't a better place. Like, if you were a true believer, that's really, that really should be the mindset, right? 100%. Yeah. Yeah, no, this is, man,
Starting point is 00:07:50 when they, when they leave here, you you really, like, as their son, I think I'm really seeing how much they were actually shouldering on the day-to-day. Like, you know, especially me in the music business, my mom been in the business since
Starting point is 00:08:05 forever ago. And my dad is the same thing. So, you know, shift from the labor to labor, by the time you get the 20-25, the business be all messed up. You know what I'm saying? You know, you try to fix it and work on it, but they just unfortunately ran out of time.
Starting point is 00:08:20 So now, you know, I'm fighting that fight for them. So I think it's, I'm like, damn, y'all was doing this shit every day. Like, this what y'all was battling with and still going to work and still dealing with my shit on top of that. I can't because of, sorry, y'all. But, yeah, man, they were some soldiers, man. What gave you the music, I don't want to say what gave you the music, but when did you say I want to start singing? When did you know you had that team that you could sing?
Starting point is 00:08:45 When I moved to Atlanta and seeing the rich kids, they were a little bit older than me, and they had the hottest thing in Atlanta. I'm like, oh, this was. going on and you know i started i still was really running from me but maybe like i was 15 16 my mom bought this whole studio set up for her in the house and i ain't never used it so i started going down there record myself figuring it out and before you know i don't did about 50 60 songs i don't win to play her something she actually really loved it you know what i'm saying so she when she did that she just put the battery in my back and i was just going hard from there
Starting point is 00:09:24 And what did your dad say about your music? Because they said he was a hard critique when it came to the music. No, for sure. Like, I'm not going to lie, just be real with you. My daddy didn't really embrace it and say, go ahead and go crazy, son. He didn't do that after my mom passed. Really? Yeah, like, he never really wanted me doing music because everything he went through with the business.
Starting point is 00:09:51 You know what I'm saying? He's like, son, I don't want you in this shit. You know what I'm saying? But it's like, man, I'm going to work in a warehouse. Like, I'm tired of the car center. Like, I'm cold, you know what I'm saying? But after my mom passed, he really tapped in. He was, like, very impressed.
Starting point is 00:10:11 And that's all I ever really wanted anyway. Just, you know, here, then. Get that approval. Yeah. How do you call about your own identity while still acknowledging the legacy you come from? that's been my battle all my life but I can't do nothing but be me like when you when you hear my music
Starting point is 00:10:30 it's like you can hear them in it but it's still me I'm doing a whole different thing and I ain't trying to battle them or trying to live up to what they did they already did it they don't went to the went to the mountain I'm on my own journey you know the Swave or Twain
Starting point is 00:10:46 and I can't run from who I am and I ain't trying to but I'm not trying to I can't compete with that I don't want to Did you do records with them With your parents? Yeah, I'm on my mom
Starting point is 00:10:58 I'm on my last album Me and her Got a song together Me and my mom And my sister Diamond We have a song together That I'm gonna release
Starting point is 00:11:08 And my part's never got to work together Though I think that's I like no one regret We ain't never get to do nothing But Yeah me and my mom for sure I saw you also talk about The you know
Starting point is 00:11:20 The time that you spent With your dad it was like a week or a couple weeks that you guys got to and just after your mom passed away the time that you guys were spending together and you said you finally saw your parents as just like people because there was a lot of things that I guess you had in one way in your mind and then when you and your dad spent that time after your mom passed away you you saw him so differently so yeah man my whole you know my dad he moved in a certain way you know it like and I used always think he was just being extra.
Starting point is 00:11:51 But when we did my mother's funeral, we had the repast, and my dad was in the city the whole day. So he hit him. I'm going to put up, I'm going to pull up. But he didn't show up the whole funeral. And then the whole repass happened he didn't show up either, so I'm like,
Starting point is 00:12:08 man, it's late again. You know what I'm saying? But he pulled up like at the last possible second at the repast. And he came straight to me. And instead of my family in South Carolina treat him like a regular person here for the funeral, they all went and mobbed him like you, Justin Bieber or something.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Phones out. Yeah, and I'm, like, there's a lot of my family that did that I don't afford him to this day. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like, man, we just put my mom in the ground. So when I seen that, I said, oh, wow. Now you understood. This is why he, this is why he'd be moving in this type of manner because it's like he didn't want to even make it about him.
Starting point is 00:12:48 You just wanted to be there for me, you know what? Did you talk to any of your family about that? Or you just was like, you know what, action speed? I don't want to talk. Where, where, yeah, I don't talk. They showed their ass without. And he was dealing with cancer at that time, so. I went in here, I ain't, shit, looking back at the pictures,
Starting point is 00:13:07 it's like, yeah, he probably was, but I ain't even know. Like, I ain't, no idea. Like, I ain't never seen my daddy with an ailment or nothing. So when they came to that situation, it was, it's just, It shocked everybody. It definitely shocked me. I ain't never seen my dad that sick or nothing. So you found out, like, the rest of the world?
Starting point is 00:13:26 Down there. Like, down there, like, I knew he was battling with it, but I didn't know how bad it was. Did you get a chance to, like, say your goodbyes and everything? Yeah, man. I spent the last, down there, like, the last week together, you know, I was up there with him. And we was just talking and laughing
Starting point is 00:13:45 and listening to music. you know i ain't i ain't i ain't really wanted to see me sad or nothing like that so i was just like we you know we're gonna five about me my little brother my little sister we all was there you know what was your perspective like knowing that you had just lost your mom earlier this year and now you spending your last moments with your pop did you even look at it at last moments uh yeah Yeah, and I knew why I was there, you know, but I don't know, man, I think that was just, in my mind, I'm like, man, this just what's going on in my life right now. Like, this was going on.
Starting point is 00:14:34 I definitely can't question God, you know, but I'm going to just take this, I'm going to really take this time and cherish it, you know what I'm saying. And, you know, I'm going to wipe my face up when I started crying because I don't want him to start crying. And, you know, man, we're listening to his music, we're listening to Earth Win and Fire, you know. May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of RipCurrent, we asked, who tried to kill Judy Bury? Barry and why.
Starting point is 00:15:20 She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture. It was the way of life.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now.

Hi, Dr. Lori Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. And it's not just the Happiness Lab.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works, and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly, and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need. Because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to fertilize their farm, paying school fees, or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change. So join me and your favorite podcasters in the Pots Fight Poverty campaign.

Starting point is 00:23:04 I definitely want to do things the right way for sure. Yeah, man, when that time comes, you know, I believe I'm ready for that.

Starting point is 00:25:59 what's one conversation with your with your dad a mom that changed your direction in life not even just musical just as a man man my dad my my dad said me one day he's like son you got to choose your piece over everything you know i think it was a point of my life where i was just being pulled in so many different ways and you know it was it was it was draining me like you know my mom had been dealing with you know her health and I've been essentially like a caretaker for her for the last four or five years you know people didn't know that
Starting point is 00:26:36 and you know she did a good job of hiding it but you know there's a lot of serious situations and you know I had to you know sacrifice a lot you know and I'll do it again you know because that's my mom and I know she'll do it for me but you know yeah I was just talking to my dad and he was like man
Starting point is 00:26:58 you know you do as you do for your mom but all the rest of that man you got to choose your piece over everything and i really started implementing that and it helped me a lot you know you did a couple of your dad's songs over that has to be nerve-wracking like because you know people gonna compare yeah so do you plan to do some some more on your new music is there something that you've been iron uh man i ain't never really want to do it in the first place man my mama made me do that she made you do the song yeah she made me do it like She's been saying I had to do it for a year. So when I read the SDM, she was in the studio with me.

Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah, man. I was going to ask, what do you think your mom's lesson for you in that was? Like, what was she trying to teach you by making you? My mama is an encyclopedia when it comes to samples. Like, if you, the longer you talk to her, it's likely she's going to tell you something to sample. And, you know, it was a lesson in it because if it worked before, it will work again. You know, she implemented that in her career. So she was like, son, it's going to work.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I ain't got no choice but to work. So, you know, independent ground, man, you got to front your own money, man. So I ain't had a gas to really make it go chart.
