There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown.

Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. Every week, we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline,

a different type of podcast. You, the listener, ask the questions... Did George Washington really cut down a cherry tree? Were JFK and Marilyn Monroe having an affair? And I find the answers. I'm so glad you asked me this question. This is such a ridiculous story. You can listen to American History Hotline

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never forget. I think any good romance, it gives me this feeling of like butterflies.

Yes, we are the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? She don't give a damn about nothing. She'll pop in when she wants to, but right now she on her game. Yeah. What's she playing? Say you love me. Huh? My gun. Oh, well she wants something.

Go ahead, you can have your gun, baby. Okay. What'd you say? I love you for asking me for that gum, Trey. Right. Because she'll chew it and then spit out gum and then want more. She just should do it all day, but.

So how much softer has she made you? I think that's still the fastest I've ever heard. You got Trey doing TikToks, Trey dancing. What? Trey. I love it though, but that's what you wanted. This is exactly what you're getting, exactly what you wanted, what you asked for and everything.

So it's good to see you in that mode. Yeah, it's a full-time job. People really treat her as management. So like I did, I was doing an interview in Atlanta a day ago, and I couldn't do the interview unless they brought her her boat jangle. Hilarious. So right now, we fulfilling her riders.

I know that's right. Now the new album is called Angel. Tell us why. Of course, you know, it's inspired by my daughter, you know, my whole, the whole process of everything I went through. I think this album probably, people say, I'll be the most vulnerable I've been as far as most,

just open about everything I was going through. And it mean a lot to me. I mean, it mean a lot to me. I've always been able to do dope music, but this album was recorded in the process of what I was going through. So this one definitely gonna be something. And I think it's just the climate of the culture, man.

Everybody going through rough and dark times right now. So everybody ain't always club-wise or turnt up, you know? Oh, them days over. Yeah. I'm gonna say, oh, because Houston is the party city right now. But I'm talking about for our era because we grown. Like, who making the music for us now?

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. What's in your deck right now? Other than old school, I still love old school. It depends, like I end up listening to songs more than like projects, right? Like I'm listening to that new Eric about doing Alchemist.

I've been riding the Ray Vaughn this year, as far as the youngin' is concerned, the good, the bad, and the dollar menu. He been listening to the Flutes, Andre 3000, he been, you definitely been- He put out a piano album. The piano album. The flutes, okay.

Yeah, so that's pretty much it. I listen to singles. I don't listen to full projects that much. Is it because nobody puts them together as a whole you like or? I think that's what it is. That's what it is. If it's a full project that I like,

I listen to GNX, you know what I mean? Like I said, I listen to Ray Vaughn, but if it's not a full project that I like, I'm just gonna go to singles. Now was your album in story mode? Cause I know that was a long process that you had to go through, right? Now is it in story mode and is it like,

what I mean by story mode from the beginning to now? Oh, I think each part touches just different moments within, I was touches just different moments within that was happening and different moments within my life. It's not necessarily in the order of how things happen, but I think it's set up so from start to finish, you'll get the feel that you need every moment and that definitely be a different highlight.

But for me, it's a lot of people say, a lot of people have their favorite pics of my album, but for me personally, this would probably be one of my favorites right now. I mean, cause it's close to home. Was it therapeutic to write this project? Yes, it wasn't even writing. What happened was when they finally got me

to leave L.A. to take a break, you know, because the main thing that was being pressed to me was sometimes I could be in God's way if I'm trying to do it my way. So I finally got to understand, and if I leave, go do something like work, get in the process of things I love. So I went for like probably like three days

and I just recorded back to back. Wasn't even necessarily writing, I ain't wrote music in so long. I just go in there and just get it off. So the two things I did when I left LA for that short amount of time, I did the album and then I went to help with the hurricane in the Carolinas. Those two things that give me my energy.

Was there any song on the project that you felt like where you broke down, like it was very challenging? I think through the project you'll hear different stuff. And I think it was displayed a certain way to where it almost make other people break down when they hear. So it's a lot of moments in there like that. But it's a lot of proud moments too. Like I got the record all right on there with LaCray

and True Featured on there. Like it's different moments that, it's just a whole roller coaster, but it's set up the right way, you know. So Baby Girl is on the album. Oh yeah. Yes. She on that a couple of times. Okay. Yeah. She rapping or she just talking or she popping her gum?

She was singing, but she sung on this album, but you know, she rap, she do her thing, whatever she feel like doing. That's why she got a rider. That's right. What was that feeling like, man, when you, because you know, Truth was reported missing back in August of 2024.

What was that moment like when you first found her? Like when you realized she was good and you was about to go see her? Man, it was excitement, nervous, your brain moving a 1000 miles per hour because you're wondering how is this first interaction gonna be, is it gonna be, man, I missed you pops, is it gonna be, I've been away from you for a minute,

I'm cautious, so it was just, man, it was a lot. Funny part is when I got the car, jumped up, cause I got it on New Year's. I had just went to church that night for New Year's and I got the car like five from the US Marshal. They like, we found the, and they're close to the border, Mexico. So I jumped out the bed,

I'm running from the bed to the bathroom, when all So I jumped out the bed, I'm running from the bed to the bathroom when all the while I'm supposed to be trying to get dressed, but after 20 minutes of going back and forth and absolutely doing nothing that let me know I was in the whole other world nervous. But Kyle, my youngest son, Houston, he was upstairs. I'm like, man, bro, we gotta go. And this 30 minutes we went, we booked a flight,

we flew to San Diego, my bro Rob picked us up in San Diego and we drove down to the border. So when I get there, man, you know I'm nervous the whole time. So finally when I first seen her, if you have seen the video, she was a little hesitant, you know, because you know at this point, I don't know what's going through her head, so. But at the end of the day, she do know I'm Pops

and she know I'm always gonna protect her, so she come to me, like I tell you, she was with mixed emotion, but when I tell her to turn around and she's seeing her brother, it's like I always forgotten at that moment. It was like, she was like, yeah, I'm back with my forgotten at that moment. It was like, she was like, yeah, I'm back with my guys at that moment.

And from that moment to as we sit here now, we've been nonstop together, you know what I'm saying? It's a lot because it makes me like to think all of just, you know, from being in the streets to the music, to everything else, now most of my days, if I'm not sitting up watching cartoons of her, taking her to the trampoline, making sure she get through school.

Now that was another hard moment though, like when she first came back, she didn't wanna be around no other kids. She was like, wow, I wanna do homeschool. And I kept, you know we were working, but I kept pressing her like, man, I wanna do homeschool. And I kept, you know we were working, but I kept pressing her like, man, just try and be around. So when I finally got her to go, she agreed to go for like maybe an hour or two a day.

So I would sit outside the door. So anytime she come look through that crack, I'd be just sitting on the chair till she was ready to go. And we worked and she very short, so even missing all them months of school, like four or five months, she came through, ended up graduating her class, top of her class, and she don't go now.

Was there any conversations with her mother? No, not yet. Damn, you don't even know why she did what she did? I'ma be honest, man, I do my best not to even go there to too much speak about it, you know what I'm saying? As far as I just really focus on making sure her day is happy, making sure we focus

and I'm doing everything I can to be the best father I can. Because I feel like when that time come, it'll come. But you know, at the end of the day, it's all in God's hands. And then I be real big on what I say because we never had a conversation about that. Like, I don't speak on that with her. It's strictly what we got going on.

And you know with her, it's a full-time job. You know, truth from singing to acting to energy from singing to acting to energy to Nashe on her YouTube, to Instagram, it'd be a lot with her. But you know, it's a good thing because we blessed to be able to bring our kids into our world with them to watch them do their own thing too. And I'm not forcing her with nothing, you know. Yeah, are you giving the dad okay

or the dad yes to the YouTube? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. One thing they know, I ain't playing with my baby. But the thing is she's always, all my kids always had their own fan base based off them being my kids. So a lot of the world, in Houston and a lot of the world and the industry, they watch them grow up as a whole. Because you gotta, we did the BET.

You would think, of course everybody's excited to see me, but they're probably just more excited to see her. So you see her on pictures with everybody. So yeah, it's a good thing. You know, you've been through so many losses, man. Battles with radio stations and lawsuits, but you always stand tall. What kept you grounded during the moments

when people really tried to silence you, or just hold Trey back? God, definitely God. God is the key to all, man, because what I've learned, and even now I'm going through the learning process of having faith more. Because you know I feel I have faith, but I guess he may expect a little more from me,

so I'm working on having a lot more. And I was telling someone the other day that my spiritual advisor, Riccala Gigi, she was on me hard about praying for my enemies, everybody who did me wrong, just being a lot more forgiving. And you know, for people like us, it's like, man, you did so much to me, like I don't hate you, but I don't wanna be in that aspect,

but I definitely humble myself and daily, that's what I pray for. I pray for enemies and just a lot of other things, man. And I think the more that I do that, the more at peace I be with my kids and other things, you know, because I think the last thing I'm trying to master is being unbothered. I ain't mastered that part yet,

but trying to get there, you know. There'll be certain stuff you say is gonna trigger me and it just is what it is, yeah. Do you feel like you get enough flowers or recognition for the things that you do in the community? I think when you don't look for it, I don't really have a gauge of, if I feel I get too much, too little,

or if I feel I need more, I think I just do the work. But I can tell you moments that I be the most down, it be moments like that that lift me up. And you wouldn't believe how many in the industry, you wouldn't believe how many just men and women across the world, no matter where men and truth go, the first thing they'll be like, man, I was praying for you,

I watched everything you went through. So to watch people do that and be happy and motivated to see how strong and how dedicated I was to get to my child, moments like that bring you through. And then moments of coming across people and they be like, man, you don't know, I mean, you don't know, you helped my auntie down here, you did this, that, that lady that you did this for,

that was my relative. So stuff like that would kinda keep me going, you know, because it's like the work is really getting noticed. Do you think more rappers would be involved in activism if they felt like it wouldn't hurt, I guess hurt their brand, so to speak? See, the difference with me is I didn't care if it, because I always been me.

You know, you gotta think I'm one of the few rappers that never smoke or drink. Like I've always stood on my own and been my own leader. So when I did it, when I got out there, whether it's fighting on the front lines or people who passed or the disasters, I'm not thinking about what nobody else gonna feel. I'm just doing me.

And I think that's what people respect. But believe it or not, majority of the industry and others, man, they hit my phone on the regular. Man, next time you go out, let me come out. Like, I don't know, like, it was a saying somebody told me, they're like, man, Trey, you made it cool to give back. Because if you go back to just looking when it really got heavy, you start watching people from all over like,

man, this holiday, this, this, I need to make sure I'm doing that. So to be able to be part of planting that seed for a lot of people to follow that blueprint was definitely major. Because the thing for me is, it's a lot of people who need it. You know what I'm saying?

A lot. Hey Trey, hey Truth. Hey y'all. Question of when you are going through different things, right, and people expect this perfect symbol of what Trader Truth is, what do you lean on when you're trying to let people know, like, hey, I'm not perfect?

I think the hardest thing, and it's about to, what Charlamagne's seen, I don't know if y'all seen this, a one-on-one sit down that's gonna come out with Tip. And I think being at a point where you can take accountability and growth, I think people can appreciate that more to understand that I'm human and I make mistakes like anybody else do.

And mistakes don't necessarily stop you or define you as a whole because you still can keep doing the work and become better than what you were in that moment, you know what I'm saying? So I'm just trying to be me. How you think that interview's gonna be received? I don't know. I think it was just, it's honesty.

And it's honesty to the point where I felt like you can see me and him don't necessarily agree on everything, but you get the real, you know what I'm saying? And I think that'll always outweigh in the end. Of course in this day and time with social media it's different. You know, people, man, people be so weird on the internet, but as a whole I think you never can override just being authentic

and real, you know? Sometimes it may be blunt, it may be brutal, but at some point you have to be like, yeah, all right, I get it. Are there any relationships you hope to heal with that interview? I think I hope to get to a point where I have no issues, which in my mind right now,

I ain't got no issues with nobody, I'm past that. Because the thing is, man, a lot came with those prayers, with those fight moments to even get to the point where I am with Lil' One. And you gotta ask yourself, man, in these situations, what's worth more? And for me, my kids and my family is worth more than anything, so at this point it's like,

hey, do I wanna run around with pride and ego and stay focused on this way or get to a point where man, if it ain't affecting me and mine and I'm not gonna let nothing jeopardize me and mine, then I'm cool. So I think I'm at a point, I ain't got no issues with nobody. Actually, I rarely even think about anything

with anybody else. My days is strictly trying to keep up with my kids. What are you taking accountability for? You talking about accountability? Anything, man, regardless. So that's why I say it's crazy when you finally get to see the thing with me and Tup. I think they may start releasing it this week,

pieces of it, but even with accountability, right, no matter, even if in that situation you were wrong or you felt you was wrong, or regardless of the situation, you can't worry about what nobody else do. You just gotta take accountability for your part. You know what I'm saying? So I'm gonna stand on my 10 for whatever I did

in any situation, you know, from being young to now and just keeping moving. You know, I think that's just where I'm at. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown.

There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's Teddy escapes, blonde drowns, and in a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News, it's Teddy escapes, Lon drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death

and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't miss the You vs. You podcast. covering childhood trauma, family, overcoming loss, and the moments that shape their journey.

These honest conversations are meant to take the cape off our heroes with the hope that their humanity inspires you to become a better you and therefore set you free to live the life of your dreams. Here's a sneak peek. I'm trained to go compete. I'm trained to be like harder. But sometimes that mentality stops you from stopping and smelling the flowers in your own garden. Is it wrong to want more?

We migrated, our family migrated here. I'm like second generation. Listen to You Versus You as part of My Kultura podcast network, available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. American history is full of wise people. Well, women said something like no 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is glory. Those founding fathers were gossipy AF and they love to cut each other down.

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history and I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said, it would have been harder to fake it than to do it. Listen to American History Hotline on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just like great shoes, great books take you places, through unforgettable love stories, and into conversations with characters you'll never forget. I think any good romance, it gives me this feeling of like butterflies. I'm Danielle Robay, and this is Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, the new podcast from Hello Sunshine and iHeart Podcasts. Every week I sit down with your favorite book lovers, authors, celebrities, book talkers, and more to explore the stories that shape us, on the page and off.

I've been reading every Reese's Book Club pick, deep diving book talk theories, and obsessing over book to screen casts for years. And now I get to talk to the people making the magic. So if you've ever fallen in love with a fictional character or cried at the last chapter or passed a book to a friend saying you have to read this, this podcast is for you. Listen to Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts

or wherever you get your podcasts. You happy? I think that's probably the, well, happy and stressed. Because you know the thing is, for my kids, I'm their biggest idol, so I gotta make sure I don't fail them, you know what I'm saying? And then you said something earlier that also, to the aspect of what you said,

it's like, it becomes to a point like, you get kinda, you can get frustrated at times, right? Because it's like, no matter what I do, you still do have people that just wanna tear you down. And then to, when you're doing stuff in a righteous way just to watch, you still get some of the bad end of the sticks, that can get overly frustrating, but you know, I'm working through it.

What's the symbolism of dropping the angel on your birthday? It was supposed to be promoted way before. I didn't do it on purpose. But, man, so you know they say, way before and I didn't do it. I'm supposed to do it. Man, so you know they say man, delayed ain't denied. From God, so the thing is, I feel like maybe it didn't align at the right time, so maybe it will. Maybe it will align now, whether it be my birthday and you know Trey, they coming right around the corner too.

July 17th to the 20th. Yeah, July 7th, and this gonna be a big one as always, it's gonna be year number 16, man, and to even take that in, it'd be 16 years of taking care of the people. Crazy. Yeah, but honestly, when you get in these moments

in the situation that I've been in sometimes, just being transparent with y'all, you can get to doubting yourself a lot. So you gotta get through them moments to know it's gonna be all right. Because if I would have dropped the album right when this was happening, that might have been the perfect time to drop it. But of course, me, I was very hesitant on it

and I wouldn't even really think about music at the time. And I was getting ready to drop it and then I realized I ain't doing nothing I'm supposed to do so I'm just like, man, at this point I'm gonna drop it on my birthday and I'm gonna get in where I fit in. This the new day in the area anyway, you don't have to promote months in advance

when you drop so sometimes you can drop in and then come back and promote. So I'm gonna make the best out of it. Yeah. And for Tray Day, the dads, y'all talked about the. We ain't got the Tray Day yet. Oh, I was gonna say the dads. We know you gonna be on top of it.

I'm proud of you because I'm watching you and you doing your thing. But yeah, I know you gonna be on top of it. I've been out of the interviews. I didn't wanna re-ask any questions, but I was, the dads matter, the conversation that you're gonna focus tray day around this year.

What other dads are involved that we might know? Corey Hardick. Ricky Smiley. Compton from Black Ink. Man, Reggie Brass, he's out of LA. He's an advocate for fathers and children. That's who actually helped me to get a lot of knowledge when I was, even before I got to the process

of the situation I was in. He helped me for years. It's gonna be quite a few. And the reason I'm doing that is because throughout my journey, man, there was so many fathers that was like, man, I wish I had the strength of you because I got so frustrated, I just backed away. They want me out the picture,

I'm gonna just get out the picture. And it's like, for me, they want me to go that way. Yeah, I can do that. But I understand because they feel like they don't have the money, they don't have the means, they don't have the knowledge, they don't even have the motivation to do it. Because different people built to handle situations

in different ways, but I think this conversation is never to bash a woman at all, but it's about to show fathers. It's gonna be a bunch of legal people there too, it's showing fathers, hey, these are some of the processes you can go to, these are some of the things you need to know because the thing is sometimes you can get in there and represent yourself if you just take the time to instead of getting frustrated, you know,

and know they're, you know, you gotta think so many people pay child support don't even get to see their kids, you know, it's just, and they don't know the rights that they have, so I think that, and I'm working, shout out my lawyer, Stephanie Proffitt, I told her, and I was dealing with Black and Missing. Yeah, the Black and Missing Foundation.

Yeah, Natalie, I was saying with Black and Missing. Yeah, the Black and Missing Foundation. Yeah, and Natalie, I was saying I wanna work to go to legislative so we can try and find some of these laws that give dads a fair shot. You know what I'm saying? Because believe it or not, legally when it comes to custody situation, man, the officers, they ain't gonna, you can be all the way in the right and have your baby

and they'll be like, yeah, this ain't that criminal type of material on your own, y'all figure it out. Sometimes they may place a child in the wrong hands by just simply not caring. I feel like that's a serious situation. Because if it was their child, they're gonna want people to take stuff a lot more seriously. So it's just trying to get the knowledge

and just starting the pre-steps to get things together for dads. Because I feel like a lot of parents, a lot of parents need their, a lot of kids need their parents in their life. Because if we ain't got role models or we ain't got our pops or our family like that, that's what make us roam and do the things that we do.

That's what make a lot of the young homies lash out because they feel like they ain't got nobody. And then a lot of times they feel like they ain't got nobody because they've been taught and told things so long. So when they finally do have that conversation, they like, I had this all wrong, you know, I was made to believe you ain't care about me at all,

and that don't necessarily be the case. I got a couple more questions. Now that you have a new manager, yes. right, how was the dating life? Man, I've been single for so long, and you know what she told me? I don't need nobody else, she's all I need.

That's the whole time she's all I need. That's the whole time she's responded to the whole interview. She's been stoic and cool the whole interview. And she brought that up. That's right, that's right. It's only you. Yeah, she ain't going for it, but it is what it is.

I mean, as a parent, you gonna sacrifice everything for your kids, meaning even if that mean put my career on the back burner to raise my kids. But yeah, as a now man, I've been single so long, it's the new norm. Because I feel like everything I'm doing now gotta be purpose, so if it ever get to that point, first and foremost, it gotta be somebody

that my kids really, that's genuine with my kids. And the rest will falling in play, but when I tell you a full-time job with this one here, I think a female would be irritated with me. Because they like manly, like, because the options we have is slim, because you ain't gonna be able to give us no phone time, no in life time. And it's just, I'm always with her.

I want you to have somebody at one day. Not right now. How old is Truth? Six. I'm six. You're six, okay, I love it. She was like, I'm sitting right here. Okay, well let me ask you, Truth, how old are you?

I'm six. Okay, and Dad is the only one? Who's 44, about to be 50. Oh, I know that's right. Yes, dad is 54. Okay, now we know how old Trey is. Good, big Trey and little Trey. Has she heard Let It Be Truth yet?

Did you play it for her? Yeah, yeah, she's here. Oh, get the mic, get the mic. Yeah, yeah, she has, believe it or not, you know, she probably one of my biggest critics of music. So like when you're going up on all my music, but yeah, I definitely be transparent with my kids so they can listen to it,

so they get their own understand. I never really had a conversation about that song in particular. But I think in moments, you know, she know for sure my pops is there. You know what I'm saying? Cause a lot of times when people ask her, matter of fact, what is your dad when it come to your dad,

what is he supposed to do for you, or what does he do for you? Do Statue of Liberty. Get with it. You know what I'm saying? And get pushed to my bed. Statue of Liberty. So when people ask her, like my job and stuff,

she be like, man, when it come to my dad, he protects me, you know what I'm saying? And that's the main thing that I always want her to know. So other than her running me crazy, that's definitely it. He always snores and farts in his sleep. Yeah. Yeah, I have to agree with you.

With the exclusions. With the exclusions. At this point, can you just say the dog is saying, you ain't gonna do that, because bro, you really want to go there like, you know what I'm saying? What does daddy do? Man, it's so funny. You think she's about to say something,

what does daddy do? He snores and he farts in his sleep. In the statue. So look, the funny thing is, you never know what she gonna say, but the good thing is I always let them be them. You know what I'm saying? Cause I be doing interviews, sometimes you may see interviews,

I got stacks of napkins on my head, sometimes I'm doing interviews, she taking apart my beard. So it's like, I just let her be her. I think kids deserve to be unbothered, un-scratched. And express themselves. Yeah, however that may be.

But yeah, that's the main thing. Long as she know, and with she joking that, long as she know, at the end of the day, Pops gonna protect her, she good. Because if I was to leave out the room, she for sure ain't gonna wanna stay in here. But if I told her it's good, she know Pop's ain't gonna ever tell me I'm a height

if I'm not a height, you know what I'm saying? So that's real important. It's really important. You talking about she ain't joking. She ain't joking, you be snoring and farting in your sleep. Man. She ain't joking. Man.

Bro, it up. Don't put that in your mouth. But this is really dope to see. I'm very, very happy that you stuck to your guns. You went and got your baby girl. I'm very happy to see you. Absolutely. Because last time we were here you did not have her and you were just stressed.

Just to see you from afar go through things and it was such a long process. So I love it, I love it. I already appreciate it. Who were you talking to in Let It Be The Truth Part II though? I'm still talking to my baby. Okay, okay, okay, gotcha. And there's another one on there,

actually on the album called Daddy Miss You. I wrote that actually right before, when I even wrote it, I recorded it right before she came back. So it's actually just a conversation as if she was there, you know what I'm saying, of me talking to her, man, I think that's a dope one you should check out.

The album is dope itself. I released the record, Thank You with Me, Yolanda Alam, Chance the Rapper, the record with Jeremiah, Honcho, Lil Poppa, and Ka-Ki-Kai, you know, he from here, so he doing his thing. Another exciting record on there is with Dave Chappelle, Amen, which me and Truth was with him last night.

So, I'm just blessed to be working, man. What you wanna play right now? No, this nigga asked you who he was talking to on a letter to truth. Well I should've said talking about. Oh okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I should've said talking about. Yeah, I was talking, you know,

it's just a situation that hold, but I always talk to my babies man, for sure. Matter of fact, cause even though truth with me, you know all my kids, they my aces, so shout out Nico, shout out Houston Gierd, so you know we doing our thing man, but this one here, oh. But you know, and doing our thing, man. But this one here, oh. But you know, and it's crazy, right?

I never whooped a kid in my life. I don't believe in that. But I tell people on a funny note, if anybody deserve one that's gonna test me, it's this one right here. Cause if I was to tell her, hey, don't knock that over, she'll look at me and she'll. And then knock it over.

You see what I'm saying? It'll be like, all right, bro, you just gonna keep trying. If anybody, this one is definitely the one that stressed me out. That's what I tell my nine-year-old all the time. I was like, girl, you lucky you wasn't raised in the 90s. Who of you was raised in the 80s and 90s?

No. It's crazy. Yeah, and it's crazy these days because they believe any whooping is torture. They don't know. We used to go through it back then, man. Oh, yelling, if you yell, they think you doing something

that you ain't got no business doing. I remember once with me having the discipline, huh, you know what the discipline was? What? You put this iPad down and you go outside and play. Oh, wow. You know, they do not believe in none of, this is what she's with 24 seven a day.

That phone, that's what she love doing. Pretty much. But yeah so this what I'm dealing with every day. And yesterday she was excited because I went and paid for a billboard yesterday so for her to see her face through time. I'll show you the playback. Oh please show us the playback.

I know that's right, truth, come on. We need to see. Got the billboard. Did you approve of it, Truth? I approved that it was the best. Okay, let me see. And that's her on it oh Wow, baby girl, that's your face. That's so cool

But you know the good thing too cuz if I am music and she don't like it she gonna be like Like don't put her on it. No, she'll be like I don't like the song she gonna be like. Mm. It's like don't put her on it? No, she'll be like I don't like the song. Oh, okay. She either gonna like it or they be brutally honest. See, you need to get in touch with the YNs
