Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, Lauren LaRosa. Envy's on his book tour, so he had to step out. Just hilarious, his home. But we got a legend in the building. It's okay to call you that, right? Yeah, I'm cool with that.

Yeah, with Khalifa is here. What's happening, my brother? Just chilling, how are you? I ain't seen you in a minute, not in person. I know, it's been a while. Yeah. Yeah, you've been working. COVID happened, I've been taking care of my kids.

How are you? I'm amazing, thank you, how are you? You still doing the MMA and all that good shit? Absolutely, every day. Where? Yeah, yeah. You wake up and do it early in the morning, or you wake? I have like a routine.

So I go to the gym five days a week. I do martial arts as well. So I'm like lifting, martial arts, and I do hot yoga three times a week. So I'll get up at like six with my kids, take care of my dogs and my kids. Then I eat breakfast. Then I go to the gym

probably around like nine-ish, and then from nine till about one or two in the afternoon, that's my program time, and then after that I got the rest of my day. Program time mean what, the smoke? No, no, no, program is like workout. Gotcha. Yeah, whatever the program is for the day,

that's what I do. So you work out high? Stoned, yeah. I was about to say, he probably smoke in between all of that, or during it. Yeah, work out high? Stoned, yeah. I was about to say, he probably smoking between all of that. Or during it. Yeah, yeah, no, I smoke on the way to the gym and then on my way to the next event.

Yeah, yeah, for sure, I stay stoned. Okay. How long have you been smoking now? Like how many years? I've been high for longer than I've been not high. Okay. Yeah, consecutively. Yeah, yeah.

You be doing the shrooms now too though, right? Nah, I quit doing shrooms. I did it for a minute, so I don't really need, I don't feel like I need to keep doing them over and over. I'm glad you said need, right? Cause I was gonna ask, what is your intention when you smoke weed nowadays? I just love being stoned.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I like the way it makes me feel. I like the decisions that I make when I'm stoned. I like the way movies look when I'm stoned. I like the way movies look when I'm stoned. I like playing with my kids when I'm stoned. I just love being high, yeah. Off marijuana though, just marijuana, not anything crazy. The Cushion Orange Juice 2.

Yeah. Great project. I loved the first half. Second half was dope too, but I really loved the first half. Thank you. But it got like a 1990 now G-Funk sound. Uh-huh, for sure. Was that intentional?

Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think that was like the original sound of Cushion Orange Juice. For a lot of people, it was like nostalgic for the 90s or G-Funk or, you know, just riding around in the car, going to house parties, getting fresh. It just got that whole, you know, player vibe to it

and a little bit of funk to it as well. It's just like the way the beat slap and the way that the bass is there. So a lot of the production is Cardo, Sledren, and EDAN and just the original people who, you know, put that sound together. So it was really easy to just bring it back. Yeah, I'm glad you like it.

No, it slaps. Thank you. You had announced in 2024 that this project was done. And now it's here. Yeah. The release of it. So is it traditional release to streaming or like how you gonna do it?

Cause Christian Orange used one. It was like you did your own thing. You dropped, you kind of changed the way people were listening to music and mixtapes at the time. Right, nah, this one's going to streaming. We releasing it through BMG and they've been really, really cool at letting me kind of just curate the vibe and what the feeling of it is.

And they understand what the project is. And we've had meetings weekly, just how we're going to attack it and make it last and make it something real. So I've just been really excited about updating the format. I think that's what's most important, especially for being an OG in the game, is releasing things with the times, how they are now, but also still being innovative as well. And that's why you see in between I've been dropping freestyles and doing a lot of stuff just entertaining my fans because I still have that freedom. I'm able to do that as we get ready for the album too.

So just to put it all together and make it current. I think that was the idea for all of us. You know yesterday was the 15th anniversary of Christian's Arranges was part one. Yeah, I did hear that. April 14th. You did hear that. Yeah. It's your album. I dropped so many albums and stuff like that.

Like every month is an anniversary of another project, but 15 years, yeah, that's tight. And I think we're really lucky to be able, well, I'm grateful to be able to drop the sequel as close as I did with the original one. I feel like that's like a sign. It just feels really in a jam. So it wasn't planned?

No, it just worked out like that. But it's just divine alignment. Mm-hmm? No, it just worked out like that. But it's just divine alignment. Yep, it all worked out like that. Do you remember your mind state, April 14th, 2010? I do. Okay. Yeah. What was it?

I was just getting off tour. I was in Miami. I was working on Rolling Papers, the album, but I already had Cushion Orange Juice done. And I had been hyping it up for a lot of months before, so my fans knew it was about to come out. And I remember just going to the hotel room. I was in a nice ass hotel on the beach.

And I was like, yo, I'm about to drop it. And I just released it from my computer that day. I still am super confident, but I was really, really like super duper confident about the music and just my connection with my fans. So that was the time to do it. Did it piss the label off when you dropped in? I really wasn't signed at that point. They were kind of thinking about signing me,

working on signing me, but it didn't piss them off at all. They knew how important it was for me to still curate that organic thing because at that time I was doing a lot more for myself than any label could do and it's still like that. I promote myself, I do my social media, I do my merch, I do my marketing, I do all that. I just give you a whole package and then you can just,

you look like a genius. Well, Cushion Art just changed everything though. That was like your, that's like your section 80. That shit was so far gone. That like banded the Taylor gang. Well, Cushion Orange Juice changed everything though. That was like your, that's like your section 80. That's your so far gone. Yep. That like banded the Taylor gang. Yeah, for sure. Like all of the, like we,

we was talking about it before you came in. Like I remember the feeling when Cushion Orange Juice came out and like, I was a senior in high school and like they would throw parties where you would literally come to smoke and only listen to Cushion Orange Juice. And like, it was, it was such a movement. I love that. It was like really such a movement.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it was for. So it was good that that happened. It was such a movement. I love that. It was like really such a movement. Yeah, yeah, that's what it was for. So it's good that that happened. It was all intentional. And it was like, like you said, that's like my, you know, or my doggy style or my ill-matic. Like I knew I had to make something that was like that. And you know, that was a good one to be attached to. And yeah, it was just,

I always tell people it's bigger than the music. It's stuff like what you're saying. Like that's what make it what it is. Even this album now, it's amazing music wise, but you can't just sit there and listen to it. You gotta experience that shit. You gotta go to a beach. You gotta go on vacation.

You gotta kick it with the homies. You gotta hang out super duper late. You gotta hook up with somebody who you've been, or you gotta meet somebody who you never even understood that with you. That's what makes it what it is. And that's what I'm excited for people to experience as well as the music being good. People don't realize that though.

When you put out music, music just provides the soundtrack to whatever you're experiencing in life. That's why you can never argue with certain people about certain albums because the time of life they were experiencing during that album. You can't, like when somebody says, oh this is gonna remind you of Wiz Khalifa, Cushion Arms, nah, I'm on something totally different than I was in 2010.

Exactly, it's personal. Yeah, I think people do have those personal moments or those life decisions, and what you're listening to at the time definitely dictates what your memories of that are. So it gets deep. Do you think that, because I saw that you have like, it's 22 or 23 songs on the project?

Yeah. It's 22? I think so. Four bonus records, four or five bonus records. So normally with people who put that many songs on in one place, it's like, you think people are gonna listen and start to finish, but like me listening to it,

I don't have any doubt that people will. Do you think that the conversation that you're having at the beginning and then the conversation you're having at the end, is it cohesive or do you just throw songs on there? Like how do you kind of flow in and out of? Well, with this project, the last maybe four songs, we put out before the album came out.

We used this method called the waterfall method where you put songs out and then add them to the album later. And that was a conscious decision because I didn't know what people were gonna wanna hear. So those songs helped me dictate what I was gonna do with the album. And I still like those songs, but they weren't exactly what you were gonna get

from the full album. So I used that as an opportunity to, you know, do some promo and get the idea of the album out there. But by the time you get the actual real album, those 18 songs are brand new. Those are an experience that nobody has yet, and that everybody's gonna get together and that's where to me the more of the conversation is is

from the intro to to the 18th song and um yeah it's pretty simple. The whole album is just about keeping it players, motivational, it's get stoned and there's songs for the ladies and there's songs to ride around to. So as long as I'm in that pocket, yeah, the conversation is good. In my opinion, I know what my fans want and what they expect, so I didn't go outside of that at all.

Why a sequel after all of these years, though? Because that could be hit or miss, too. That's a, to put cushion orange juice on something? Yeah. Just, again, listening to the fans, man, everybody was telling me, like, how much they missed that sound or that pocket of what I was doing at that time or how much they enjoyed it.

So it's nothing for me as an artist to, like, you know, dig in my bag and get with the producers that I trust and really not recreate that, but do what that sounds like now. But it's the same feeling, though, like, you know what I mean? And I'm not scared to do that. And it what that sounds like now. But it's the same feeling though, you know what I mean? And I'm not scared to do that. And it's all about the fans, it's all for them, and it's what they want.

A lot of nostalgic stuff is coming back. And my era, like you said, is 15 years ago. So it's way further removed than it is close. So why not just go ahead and just revisit something that was big to us and that people appreciate. The problem with fans though is they fickle and they don't want you to grow. So even though you've grown like you're a father now like your life might be totally different than it was 15 years ago they're like no I want 2010 with it. Yeah. That's impossible. The songs feel like that though. I don't think it's impossible. Really? Yeah because I think they just just want the best. Like, I can experiment and I can sing

and I can do country songs or pop records, but they like, yo, we like when you rap. Or I could wear, you know, high fashion and you know, runway stuff, but they're like, we like when you wear streetwear. And it's not hard for me to just get right back into that. It's like, okay, I'm trying what I like and I'm still gonna do that in my off time

or if I get an opportunity to do it, I'm gonna throw a suit on and I'm gonna do that in my off time or if I get an opportunity to do it I'm gonna throw a suit on and I'm gonna do a pop record But it's not gonna be my song it'll be somebody else's and I could still chart and perform it all over the world But for my fans, I'm gonna give them what they want But you are dad now dad of two Yeah, and then making these music and putting this project together like it does still sound like whiskily for it's new and it's innovative But it's it still the same feeling. How do you, because you are different.

Your dad is so different now. Yeah, yeah. I think I'm just like a little, I mean, I just keep it 100, like that's what I always did. I always just talked about my life. I talked about my day. I talk about my week. So like I've never run out of bars.

What's it like doing this whole run? I see you got your Coachella band on you. You doing this whole run, Coachella, you're here. I've been running for a while since Coachella. Bro, these bands, they don't go nowhere, man. I need some scissors. You all got some scissors? Yeah, we have here.

Yeah. We need to get some scissors, but. Coachella was Saturday. It was Sunday. Friday through Sunday. Yeah, okay. And you did a stage, you did a stage, right? Yeah, you did a performance.

You came out with a. I came out with Juicy, with Three 6 Mafia, and I came out with Ty on Sunday. And Ty Dolla Sign. Now though, when you're running around, you gotta make time to get back to family too. So how's that gonna be? Cause you about to go on the tour.

That's cool, like with me, because I feel like I do a great balance of each. So I've spent so much time at home and you know, having my regular schedule, it's okay for me to step away and do this for now because this is what I've been planning, this is what I've been working towards. So, you know, it's all part of the same process.

Like, it all goes together. It felt like Coachella was quiet this year. No, it wasn't quiet this year. It was pretty rowdy. I think they're trying to just take it back to the essence of what Coachella is about. So they're getting rid of all the hype and all the parties and stuff. And it's really about going to the festival.

And a lot of people ain't down to going to the desert and get dusty like that. How was the energy out there to you? Because I saw people complaining that the crowd was dead. Not just for yourself, but just in general. In my opinion, I think Coachella is all about the production and stuff like that. It's not really about seeing the crowd go crazy,

because they've been out there all day hot as hell, on drugs, sleeping in tents and stuff like that. So you can't really expect too much. But I think it was really what Coachella is all about. Yeah, I had a good time. It was cool, I don't think it was dead. I saw you all about. Yeah, I had a good time. It was cool, I don't think it was dead. I saw you and Amy were dancing on the side of the stage. Why was people so mad?

That's your girlfriend. Why they mad that you dancing with your girl? I don't think people were mad. I think people just need clickbait. That's the world we live in these days. But I don't live my life based off of that. I'm still gonna, if I'm hearing some music, I'ma dance. But you never have kind of leaned into all of that. I'm still gonna, if I'm hearing some music, like I'm gonna dance.

But you never have like kind of leaned into all of that stuff though. Like you've always kind of like just, even if it was happening, you did your own thing. But- Leaned into what? Like people, the clickbait stuff. So like even when you were dating Amber Rose,

now with Amy, just people are really invested in your life because you're such a big star and now your kids are growing up and they're on social media as well too. People just wanna know things and they throw things on. Yeah, growing up, and they're on social media as well too. People just wanna know things, and they throw things on. Yeah, I know, I'm in control of all of that though.

I give them enough to, you know what I'm saying? Like I said, I don't live my life based off of it, but I know that people are nosy. Like, you haven't even seen my daughter, and she's almost a year old. So I can keep some stuff quiet, but this is the entertainment industry, so at the end of the day,

people are gonna have their perception of whatever, whatever, but as long as my intentions are good, I know I'm out here doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. And nobody who really knows me and loves me is ever gonna be embarrassed by my actions when I'm outside. So they can say whatever they want to.

Yeah, you don't be doing nothing. You literally don't. I really don't. How do you talk to, like, because Sebastian's older, getting older now, which is crazy, because it's just crazy to see him. Kids get older, Lauren. That's how it works.

It's literally like, when you think about when he was first born to now and just being a fan and watching him grow, there's probably so much things that you guys decide when to talk to him about or not talk to him about, but you're celebrities, so it's different. How do you kind of like, what is your discretion on, like, here's what I allow him to know or see or whatever because you can't guard kids from everything.

Yeah, we just keeping 100 with him too. He's a smart boy and these kids are, we were, you know, grew up fast, but they're growing up way faster on the internet and everything. Right. So it's just about keeping it real and you know, just allowing him to make his own decisions as well. It's like, I can tell you what to do, but you know what's right and wrong.

And just instilling that in him and also his friend group too. That's a real big thing now is his friend group. But I feel like just him being a kid, he's a normal kid. He goes through the same things that normal kids go through. He gets in trouble at school. We have to get on Zoom calls with his teachers, like all of that. Yo, Wizz on a Zoom call with a teacher.

How is it, like how do the teachers react? I mean, they're probably used to celebrity parents. They'd be cool, they'd be chill. I think it helps him a little bit more too. They're like, oh shit, we get to see Wizz. Here, you can pass this class. How is it being a father of a daughter now? I got four daughters, all I got is daughters.

So I know daughters bring out a different energy. Yeah, man it's super duper sweet. She's real young still, she's only eight months. She'll be nine months. So her personality hasn't come out yet. But it is a little bit different having a little girl. And I'm older now too as a parent. I was 25 when I had Bash, I'm 37 now.

So it's just like a whole different mind state, like having a new child and it's a girl. It was crazy to watch y'all all get older, y'all. Yes. Because I remember that whole time. Not kids get older. No, no, I'm just saying. I'm telling new people.

Because you know what it is, and I don't know if it's because of the internet, I don't think we've had another movement like that. Like when I think about the you and the Kendricks and the. Yeah, I feel like the 2016 like Uzi and Cardi and them, they held it down. They had a movement, but I will say, because I know you talk about Uzi,

especially because I'm from Delaware, he's from Philly, but it was still just different. Like I can't really describe it. Like the way that the whole Taylor gang and how we were dressing, it was really different. But the kids are doing that to Uzi and them now. Yeah, yeah. Maybe I'm not a kid.

We were the blog era. And then I would say the SoundCloud era, Trippie Red and all of them, SoundCloud. And then now it's more like the TikTok, like the viral, you know what I'm saying? The dancers. Yeah, and then stream it's more like the TikTok, like viral, you know what I'm saying? The dancers. Yeah, and then streamers as well, like, you know. So yeah, we've had some good eras, man.

I guess we don't know when the temperature changes now, because back in the day, you could see it on TV, you could hear it on radio. Now the internet kind of makes everything seem like it's all together. So you don't really see when it's whiz season or drink season or. Nah, see, I don't really see when it's where it sees in our drink season. Nah, see, I don't mean to keep disagreeing with you.

Okay, but I like it, that's what it's for. I think you just gotta be tapped in, but that's how it was back then too. Like you had to be tapped in to know who the new up and coming blog era rappers were. And then the older dudes didn't really understand. They like, man, these dudes got on tight pants and book bags, like that ain't rap music.

So we look weird to them. It's just always the next generation looks weird to the other generation. So you really don't like see them on their way up. You really don't understand it. Tight pants was crazy though back then. Bro, those pants was tight. Your waist is cinched right now.

Back then was insane. Those pants were tight. They were more like H&M and like American Apparel getting like really tight pants. You had the people going and doing it. I remember. They were tight. With the, not the Vans, the Chucks.

Chucks, yeah, it's the long feet. I still got my Chucks on. Like I'm shocked you had kids how tight they were. Tight as shit. No, for real. Those pants were tight, bro. How often do you revisit the first cushion R's juice? Um, I say um a lot before I answer a question.

I gotta stop doing that. Nah, you thinking, that's smart. Yeah, you right. I can't give it away though. Now I listen to it a lot because we perform it a lot. Okay. Yeah, there's a lot of like festivals and places where they're like,

can you come through and perform the whole catalog or give us three songs off of there or something like that. So I listen to it and I listened to it for inspiration too. Sometimes I like, I sampled a couple songs on this new one from the old one. I like threw it in there, you wouldn't even know, but just to like keep the DNA there. Can you tell me so I can go back there?

No, you figure it out. Now I gotta do it again. Yeah, exactly and again and again. Cause it feel, literally I said I said that it feels like the Original cushion orange juice even though it's new music, but and a lot of artists can't do that not this far apart, right? Hmm But what is it that you do that is it the beat or the melody? Like what is it that you hit in it? There's so many ways to manipulate music these days.

Got you. Yeah. We just really, like I said, we updated it. We used new formulas for the same thing that we already have. And then my producer, Cardo, his sound never went out of style. And even with him producing with Cardi and all of that,

he still has his original drum kits and stuff like that. So he's just getting right back in his bag. Sledgling, I work with Mike and Keys and Problem and DJ Quick and just like throwing a lot of ideas around to make something that, you know, like you said, reminds you of the original. How much is LA an influence? I would say, the LA, like the lifestyle of LA

is an influence. I love LA, but I'm not from LA. So I didn't grow up like wanting to be a West Coast dude. Like that's just how I am, you know what I mean? And being from Pittsburgh, we would probably resonate the most with some place like LA or the Bay or even like Detroit and Chicago. We have a lot in common with them too. But I wouldn't necessarily say I'm LA influenced, but I'm definitely embraced in LA. Like a mug, just because of the similarities, like in the production, in the way that we talk, in the way that we dress.

Like a lot of people associate me with being a West Coast artist, yeah. And then the Snoop affiliation as well. Yeah, the Snoop affiliation too, but that wasn't even just like, I wasn't like, yo, I need to be best friends with Snoop Dogg. He heard my music and was like, man, this dude is tight. He embraced me, you know what I mean?

So that was like, I'm grateful as heck for that. You know what I mean? Did that ever get on your nerves though? Because you're not from, did you ever feel like, I need it? No, no. Okay, because I think we all thought you were from LA for a very long time. Why not? Is it the Chuck Taylors?

The Chuck Taylors, the whole look, the whole vibe. That's on the East Coast. I feel like the way you sound, your look, everything, I didn't know that people over this way at all could look or emulate that. I thought you had to go to LA to look at it. Yeah, and that's the thing. I wasn't even emulating nothing.

That's just how I am. That's just what I be on. There's pictures of me in high school on the same vibe. And I listen to Dipset, like that's my favorite group. Yeah, like Kamer on my favorite rapper. So yeah, I just love, I mean like, I think it's just my demeanor, my swagger, remind people more like West Coast,

smoking weed for sure, being tatted, you know, a lot of those things like, the chucks like you saying, like you associate, like, you associate that with people from the West Coast. And then my beat selection, too, is real funky, like, it's more like top-down, ride-around type of music. And I think that came more into play

for me hanging out with Currency, like, just being in New Orleans, we would just be more on some smooth, vibey type stuff, rather than like really turned up or trapped out type of music. And that just became the style of beats that we both kind of went after. I love how you keep Max B's name alive. Yeah, yeah.

He's on the new project. He's also one of my favorite artists as well. Yeah, yeah. How often do you speak to him? You say how often do I? Here and there. Yeah, especially now that the album's coming out and he's coming home too.

Yeah, we talk here and there. It's nothing too crazy. Just be like, I see you big bro. How y'all get him on the project? Over the phone? Yeah. That shit sound good as hell to be able to phone record. Yeah, yeah.

Well, the voice notes, it's easy to do it on voice notes now and then just line it up. Like I told you, we've manipulated music these days. Yeah, so you take the vocal and then put the beat behind it. He's not rapping to the beat. I guess. I don't want people to start getting their friends in jail on their records, getting them in trouble.

Because you can get out of there. Tory Lanez did the whole album. I don't know how much, I don't know, but don't do it. Stay out of trouble. The other thing I was going to say too, man. Do you see the- In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare.

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography.

This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville.

Find it on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published, and he was unlike any first-time author Canada had ever seen. 16 when first convicted. I spent 24 of those years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my skin, break my ribs.

I had my guts all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started. Rodger's saying this, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Rod.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be mentored by today's top business leaders? My podcast, This Is Working, can help with that. Here's some advice from Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase on standing out from the leadership crowd. Develop your EQ. A lot of people have plenty of brains, but EQ is do you trust me? Do I communicate well? You know, when you walk in a room, do people feel good you're there?

Are you responsive to people? Do people know you have a heart? Develop the team, develop the people, create a system of trust, and it works over time. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor-in-chief. On my podcast, This Is Working, leaders like Jamie Dimon, Mark Cuban, and Richard Branson share strategies for success

and the real lessons that have shaped them. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Moments in your life when like your career just went up like for example like when you put out Weedin' Boys that's another level. You put out uh what was the other Black and Yellow that's another level and then see you again. Come, that's every white person in America's favorite funeral anthem. Favorite funeral anthem. Yeah, no, I think I have, I look at my career

like a basketball player or something like that. Like me being signed to Atlantic, I did really well. Like being a major artist, so I look at it like that. You just recently sold your home in Pittsburgh, too. Yeah, I did. I saw that. The decision to do that why just because it was time or like cuz I know it's you know that was a you're only that was when you were on your come-up and you know like letting that go. Yeah. Why? Um cuz I just had my daughter and I wanted to move my mom out to LA she was tired of she was staying

in that house she was just tired of being there. Still? Wow. It wasn't like a bad house, it was a nice house. No, no, it's a nice house. But I just can't believe she hasn't already moved to LA at this point now because you got- It's hard to get older people to move out of there. It is. I mean, yeah, just being from Pittsburgh, she moved around a lot when we were younger because of the military, so when she got back to the Berg,

she was just there, she was set up there. And when I left, that was me leaving as an adult. But we hadn't lived in the same city in a long time. So when I had my daughter, she wanted to move out to LA. And it just made sense. Just go ahead and move on to the next chapter. And she with y'all now living with y'all in LA and kind of helping out with the baby?

She doesn't live with me in LA. She has her own house. Gotcha. And we're in a good distance from each other where we see each other all the time. Oh okay, because I know people do that when they first have babies, like just to get the extra help,

have mom there and just kinda step in. It's pretty much like that, but she has her own spot, you know what I'm saying? And it's super duper convenient, because like I said, I haven't lived in the same city as my mom in like 15 years, so I'll be driving out of my house and she'll be coming through the gate So it's super cool to just see my mom like randomly during the day. Yes, you get to be with our grandkids

Yeah, she loves it. Yo, she's like full-time. Oh gee How do you feel about your children being open to public scrutiny? Um, I'm not focused on social media comments. Yeah, nah, it is what it is. I feel like they're gonna go through that anyway at school. They got Snapchat and they be doing all that stuff at school. So that's just the world that we live in now. And back in the day, we used to rip on each other too.

So we just didn't have the computer to do it. But it builds tough skin and it is what it is. I've always been able to still be confident in myself and function and not crash out, you know, due to what anybody says about me. So I feel like they'll be all right. Is it the weed? Like whenever you feel yourself about to crash out,

or like do you roll? No, no, no, no, it's not the weed. It's the confidence, man. I breathe, I do yoga. I believe in myself. I got a higher calling. And sometimes they might be right. I do look funny sometimes.

My feet are ugly. Or not ugly, but messed up. You can't get mad at people pointing out your flaws because we're not perfect. So if you point out a flaw, you might be right. So you practice yoga? I do, hot yoga too. It'd be 130 degrees in there.

I did that shit a couple of, I did like a week and a half ago with my wife. I couldn't, I did it, but that shit's tough. It is tough. Hot yoga, I did hot yoga. Yeah, there's like some old ladies in there, they go every day, I'm like, y'all are gangster. They might do it three times in one day.

I'm like, that's really gangster. That and Pilates, they don't play. But the thing I didn't like about it, they don't give you no tutorial. Like you gotta, it's like, it's like double Dutch. Word up, it's just like, That and Pilates. Yeah. But the thing I didn't like about it, they don't give you no tutorial. Like you gotta, it's like double dutch word up. It's just like, yo, hold up, what you mean do this, do that? Give me some, warm me up. It's more of a flow.

Yeah, it's a flow. So you watch everybody around you. You can look at the instructor, you can look at, you know, whoever makes you comfortable in the room. Like you said, you was with your partner. So she probably went a couple of times so you could, you know, fill it out.

But it just helps you let go. And there's a lot of stuff that you probably won't be able to do for a long time but you'll start to see progress and that's what it's about too is just about learning yourself. Why don't you talk about stuff like that always? I do I said it in my song I was like she working out we doing yoga and hiking I said I say it in music, in the new music. Hiking? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I say it, but like, there's ways to do it in rap music because at my age, people will quickly call you Unc.

You say that on the album too. Yeah, no, no, no. I think Ty said it. He said, don't call me Unc, call me Big Dog. That's the song we're gonna? Nah, you Unc, Ty. That's what they, y'all are not giving Unc. He gives Unc, y'all don't call me Unc, call me Big Dog. That's the song we're gonna? Nah, you Unc-a-ty. Y'all are not giving Unc, he gives Unc. Y'all don't give Unc.

Nah, I'm not Unc. I could be Unc, but if I'm Unc, then I'm calling you nephew. And you don't want me to do that. You're three years the Unc with. Once you hit 40, you officially Unc. Well, them is gonna be my nephews then. That's cool. You raised a lot of people.

That's what I'm saying, though. But they don't want to be nephews, so don't call me aunt. But the mute, there's nothing wrong with being aunt, because aunt is a sign of respect. But the derogatory term of it is just like out of style, out of date. We don't want to hear that slow, you know, too, like not, it's just in a way that they're like, all right, you know what I mean? It's not like advice that they really wanna like,

live up to. And that's what I'm putting it in a form and in a way where I'm packaging it, where you still can see yourself doing this in the next couple years. You could be 23 and listen to my music and be like, I'm just a little bit more advanced. I'm not hung.

I'm just, you know what I mean? I'm on a different vibe. I'm on another level. And then a lot of the stuff that I say, too, is personal to me. So it's not even really for you to actually go out and do. I'm just explaining the things that are important to me. And I hope that inspires you.

So you know. All gives respect, though. When they don't respect it, they just be like, oh, nigga so you know. All kids respect though. When they don't respect you they just be like, oh nigga. Oh head. Yeah, oh head, oh head still. Oh head, oh gee, oh head still. Yeah, oh that slang.

It depends on how you say oh head. Like if you like yo oh head, that's disrespectful. That's disrespectful. Yo oh head, it's whatever. But you don't. Yo oh head is like, that sounded real fragile like. Mm-hmm. Either you fragile or you like kind of like a crack head.

It's like yo oh head, get out the way, I'll hit you. You know what I mean? You're laid out in the street or something like that. Does that scare you to get older? No, no, no, I love getting older. I think certain people get better when they get older, right? They start to, you know, different stages of their life reveals things that their 20s and 30s never have. So I think that, you know, I'm pretty much on my way to that. And I'm enjoying myself at the age that I'm at.

I love being this age. I love telling people my age and then being like, damn. Because it catches a lot of people off guard, but it is what it is though. But that's what I like about you opening up about the yoga and the hiking and whatever other mindfulness things you may be into. Because you talk about how first cushion orange juice

influenced the generation of stoners. I'm like, well damn, what's this part two gonna influence? See, that's the thing about the first cushion orange juice. It did inspire a lot of stoners, but it created a lot of bosses too. A lot of people bossed up and did things on their own and put their teams on and they're successful now based off of listening to Cushion Orange Juice

or that era. A lot of people was like, yo, I'm gonna grab a camera or I'm gonna start promoting shows or I'm gonna start a clothing line or I'm gonna start a blog or whatever, whatever. And they're still like, they're successful. So like that's what Cushion Orange Juice too

is gonna do as well as positive thinking it ain't unk So it's gonna it's gonna spark You know a lot of bosses a lot of young players and a lot of women who boss up as well and expect You know the same from you know what I mean? So it's just gonna create a really a really cool energy for people to create in that's what I want You said getting older you get better at things. What have you gotten better at? Physically, I've gotten better. Decision making, I've gotten better. Patience-wise, I've gotten better. Creatively, I've gotten better. And just as an all-around human being,

that's my main focus. When I was younger, I was focused on being the best artist or the best performer or the flyest nigga. Now I just care about being a dope human being and being happy for that day. That's all I care about. As long as I'm happy at this moment and this day, I'm good and I try to live every day, well not try to live every day,

I do live every day like that. Since you, there are people that are younger than you just in music that I'm sure call you about different things because creatively your music does inspire people like you mentioned. But like just as a dad and in a relationship, a lot of your stuff is public. Like I saw a conversation, an interview where,

I think it was Amber, she was talking about you guys had to sit down, Sebastian, have a conversation, he found her OnlyFans or something like that. How do you guide, first of all, yourself and have that conversation with your son, but when your friends, your peers are calling you like, yo, my girl's doing this online or like whatever, what's your conversation with people?

Because you handle things so well and so gracefully. Yeah, I think I don't expect everybody to handle things the way that I do. So my advice is sometimes it's like, man, shit be fucked up, dog. That's just how it is. That's rude. But you have to accept it and you have to understand that that's a part of it as well. And it be like that sometimes.

But we make these decisions based off of what we think we can handle and what we can't handle. Or you're given a lot of responsibility based off of what you can handle and you don't even know you're ready for it like that. So if you really want this, you're gonna deal with the good and the bad. I'm built for it. I know how to smile.

I know how to put on a face in front of people who I know might've talked shit on me or tried to cut my throat or one up on, you know what I mean? But it is what it is. I don't get no further by exposing all of that. I get further just by being me. But a lot of people ain't built for it like that.

So, you know, you really gotta be like that. As a parent though, are you ever really ready to have those like really public conversations with, like that's such a public thing to have to talk about in your child to see. And then in private you have to deal with it, but then also in public you have to deal with it because then y'all talk about the fact that it happened.

I think like, me, I just keep it pushing. Like as long as I'm good, like in the household, you're gonna have to deal with that or things like that regardless, if it's not even directly involved with you, you're still gonna have to have some type of conversation like that with your kid and it's not easy for anybody so soon as they start finding that stuff or looking at that stuff or hearing things about you know it might be their parent it

might be their sibling it might be you know I mean it could be whatever there's no age limit to that either it happens through their teens it's gonna happen in their 20s oh I heard your son is out here. Da da da da da. I don't even know what that's like yet, but we go through the stages. Every parent's gonna go through the stage. But as far as publicly,

I don't live my life for the public, so I don't even consider that when I'm making my moves. I don't care. I don't hear it. I don't digest it. It ain't real to me. And if it pops up, then it's something that I could, you know what I mean? I'll deal with it in the moment,

but I ain't tripping on none of that. Are you gonna keep secrets from your kids? What kind of secrets? Just in general, always tell people that you should always have conversations with your parents because you'll find out that they had a life before they were your parents. Yeah, I think having, how old are your kids?

16, nine, six and three. Yeah, having a 12 year old, it's like I'm finding out that they know way more than you actually think that they know. So it's hard to keep secrets when they're telling you shit that they know that you thought that they didn't know. So it's like, damn, there ain't no secrets. For real, for real, I didn't even know

I was gonna have to explain that to you. But it's just part of it. Because I think the benefit of that is them not having to hear it from somebody else. I was raised by my cousins and a bunch of 18-year-olds and 20-year-olds when I was his age, so I was learning things my cousins and you know, I mean bunch of 18 year olds and 20 year olds when I was his age So I was learning things a little bit differently like the filter was totally different So I would rather be able to give my kids that knowledge didn't like the streets. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah, cuz it's gonna happen

What is a Drake move? What's a Drake move? What is a Drake move? A very smart business decision. I know that's right. That's what a Drake move is. Woo. You know what, I want to ask you too, man.

You've been a mentor to a lot of great people. I recently saw this thing called the Mount Rushmore of white rappers. And the good brother Mac Miller was on it. I don't know if you saw it, but how did that make you feel knowing that you was a mentor to him? Cause he's the greatest rapper of all time.

It was Eminem, it was Mac Miller. They shouldn't be separating white rappers and black rappers. They're all rappers. And Mac Miller is an amazing artist, bro. I watched him come from just being a kid in the studio to really changing how people digest and listen to music on his own.

And of course, he started kind of after I was doing what I was doing, so it was people associated me and him together, like I was doing that for him or something like that. But he was just inspired by what I was doing. So it was, people associated me and him together, like I was doing that for him or something like that. But he was just inspired by what he was around. And as soon as he like branched off and started doing his thing, he gained his own identity, his own fan base, his own expectations

of what his music is and his own, you know, love and legacy for what his music is. So I love that kid. I don't even know if this is a question you can answer, but what are you and Mac, what do y'all mean to Pittsburgh, you and Mac in particular? Cause I can't think of anybody else who was as big as either one of y'all in Pittsburgh.

There's a lot of people like big on a street level, like Jimmy Wapo, like there's a lot of people, but I think to Pittsburgh, Jimmy Wapo, there's a lot of people. I think to Pittsburgh, I don't even know. I mean, we're just Mack and Wiz, that's it. Yeah, I mean, yeah. You gotta be inspiring the whole city in some way. Yeah, yeah. I think you're the first,

who else would I have known from Pittsburgh? I think, yeah, you. As far as music and as far as on that level, traveling the world Doing collabs with major artists Yeah, me and Mac for sure It's been it's been seven years since Mac passed. Do you have those moments where you like Mac not here? It kind of still bothers me just because it's like

He's not here. You know what I mean? And that's the part that sucks. Because it happened close to my birthday. So every time it's around my birthday, they're celebrating his life too. So I'm always reminded. I'm like, damn, bro.

That one's just like, sometimes when people pass, it's just like, yo, that's fucked up, bro. Yeah, it never really sits well yo, that's fucked up, bro. Yeah, it never really sits well, you know what I mean? So, that's one of them. Did he shift anything in your life? No, not really, because I knew him personally.

So, we would have conversations, and he was like, I think out of respect, everybody don't speak on what he was dealing with, you know what I'm saying? So we just like talk about his legacy, but it was a lot to see him go through that. Yeah, yeah. Just legacy conversations wise, what were some of, like what conversations still stick out to you

that y'all had, you and Mac Miller? Really just how talented he was, like just playing all the instruments and like in the studio creating, like he created totally different than I did. And just watching him like put stuff together or like bring his ideas to life, that was really fun for me.

And like seeing him on stage too, he's a really good performer as well. Yeah. Just to see you smile. Was that a difficult record? No. To record? No. To make? Okay. Mm-mm.

No, I like to make real songs. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yep. It was like I said, it was in the moment. And I talk about my mom on there. I talk about the original, what was going on when I first started making music and I brought it till now.

And then I talk about my sibling who passed away on there as well. So, no, it's not difficult for me. Is it therapeutic in a way? Yeah yeah yeah yeah I would say that. I think it's just like for me I have to talk about everything like I can't just I can't just give you like one side of like what's going on and a lot of people they may or may not want to hear that but for the people who do, I make sure that that stuff is there and I make sure that it's current

and that it's real for them to go through too. The thing I like about you, Will, is I've never seen you do no goofy shit. In 15 years. And that's hard being an artist of your caliber. How do you keep from doing goofy shit? And of your age too, you were young. I think being from Pittsburgh,

I done all my goofy shit before the camera was on. So like I didn't need to get to my 20s and learn those same lessons. I was on some boss shit and everybody around me, you gotta be on a boss level or we can't communicate. And that was the main thing is like, not only elevating my mind, but elevating the minds of the people around me

and just taking it to the next level and continuing to take it to the next level. Cause I could have got to a point where I was satisfied, but I was like, nah, I'm gonna keep working. I'm gonna keep going. And even at this point now, I see things that people don't even see for myself. So these are the things that I'm going after

while I'm doing what I'm doing. Even the team, I see Will still around. You got Chevy Woods on the album, Juicy's on the album. It's like, Ty, does that all keep you grounded in a way? It produces. Yeah, that's really who's in my phone, all the homies. I don't hang out with new people.

I don't hang out with a lot of artists. I don't hang out with people who do things in their city that is like that. I don't be in nigga hoods like that. I be with my team, my dawgs. I create content. I be in the studio. I be with my kids.

I be in the gym. So, it's the people who do that stuff with me. And that's why the album is what it is, with the group of people who it is. And even with Gunna on the album, Gunna is- He, like Gunna is. He's on Firestar. Yeah, he's partners with some of my real homies.

So like, we just never got in the studio and recorded, but we felt like, you know, this would be a good time to do something like that. But it wasn't, it's never, you know, you know how the industry is. Yeah, it's not like that with me. And people can't, first of all, Gunn is super talented, number one, and you're not a street artist.

Never have been. Exactly. So they can't give you no flack for that. Yeah, I don't associate with all of that stuff. That doesn't dictate anything when I'm making my decisions. So yeah, we not on that. Have people tried though? Cause I didn't see that.

What? Tried to give you flack for working with Gunna on the project? If they did, I didn't see it either. OK. Man. Is that a baby bottle on you? That tattoo?

A baby bottle? No, it's a spray can. Oh, God. You might need to go get that refilled. Let me see. Yeah, it doesn't look like a baby bottle. Definitely the unk. It's your eyes.

I should have covered up the koi fish. No, it's still on there. It's still there? It's still there. You remember when you was here back in the day? in your eyes. I should've covered up the koi fish. Nah, it's still on there. It's still there? It's still there. You remember when you was getting back in the day? Yeah, yeah, you trying to go viral again. No. Wait, I wasn't here. What happened?

It don't matter. It's old stuff. It ain't matter, old joke. Get some new shit. Period. Hey, Wiz, man, keep doing what you do, man. You are a blueprint. Thank you. Whether people realize it or not. Appreciate it. You know what I'm saying? From the music aspect, keep doing what you do, man. You are a blueprint. Thank you.

Whether people realize it or not. Appreciate it. You know what I'm saying? From the music aspect, even to the entrepreneurial aspect, you got strains of weed, you got mushrooms, you got- Liquid death. Liquid death. You involved in that?

Yeah, the fuck I did. That is so on brand for you. Oh my God. I didn't know liquid death was yours. Yes, sir. Explain that, how did you get involved? Early, before they even took off. It was like, hey, boom, boom, bam,

and the whole business thing, and the whole you be a part of this, we do that, and Liquid Def. I knew about the gin. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, with sovereign brands. This was, yeah, I've been a part of this company almost 10 years now.

Liquid Def? Yeah, yeah. Wow. You see that shit everywhere. Liquid death? Yeah, yeah. Wow. You see that shit everywhere. Yeah, it's so everywhere. The first time I saw it, I was like, what, why are you drinking that? And then they explained that it was water.

Yeah, and I was like, oh, okay. But even the can and the way that it's branded, it just fits your whole aesthetic. Yeah. What else do you do business-wise on the back end, I mean, if you want to talk about it. I feel like there's a whole portfolio back there that the people might not know.

Like you said, McQueen, but we're part of that whole company though, the whole Doucet and Bel Air and all of that. The violet frog, that's the same thing, right? The frog, yeah. The frog, when you say part of the- Not a frog. When you say part of the company,

there's ownership there, because I know you have the alcohol brands. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. Yeah, there's ownership there. It's like, with business and being a part of companies and having, some of these companies aren't even public yet. So you buy into companies, you have ownership, you have percentage.

There's a lot of different ways to become a part owner or just be a part of a business without starting it. And that's where the best decisions come in and it's all about timing too. Oh, PFL as well. I don't know if you guys have heard of Professional Fighters League, but I'm involved with them too.

We just bought Bellator's and UFC and then there's PFL. That's it. I heard PFL, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yep, I'm down with them too. And um- You got to fight in one of those. Nah, I don't think I'm gonna fight. I don't think I'm gonna fight. Little amateur match, you built for that. I'm definitely with them too. You had a fight in one of those. No, I don't think I'm a fight. I don't think I'm a draw.

And with your match, you're built for that. I'm definitely built for it, but I don't wanna do it. That's not what I train for. I just train to feel good. I don't train to risk my life. Those dudes risk their lives in there. Somebody could die. That's true.

And what's the point of me getting in there and risking half of my face not working just to entertain everybody. What I do is on stage, and I'm good with that. You feel me? What about celebrity squabbles though? Just to keep people out of trouble. I saw two, damn, who was it?

I just seen two rappers square up. Yeah, I think rappers should meet in the gym and they should fight, for sure. Like with gloves, mouthpiece, with a clock, you know? Like you should set it up. Like if you really got a problem with somebody, and that's the thing about training martial arts or just any type of combat sport is like,

you don't wanna do it randomly, you feel me? Like if we really gonna do this, if you feel like that tomorrow or next week or next month, then like by all means, please come down here, let's meet up and let's get it cracking. I think that more people would benefit off of that for sure. Well, that's how you been in the fight. I don't fight, bro.

I'm just talking about you been sparring. Oh, I spar all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't fight in the streets though. That's out. Wiz Khal yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't fight in the streets though. That's out. Wiz Khalifa, man. Cushion Orange Juice 2.
