King Khemoo Breaks Down "THE UNDERGROUND KING" Album, Syrup, Houston, Comparisons (Full Interview)

- Now, what is your opinion on soda? - I love soda, I'm a real surf-sipper. So, soda is, you know what I'm saying? They play a big part in that crowd, you know what I'm saying? If you are a social, I mean, a syrup philosopher with a motherfucker, say that's some crazy shit like that. But if you just drink soda, then you just love like, soda is a big part of that. - And just for transparency, you did bring some soda personally, which is off camera to the side of you during this interview. - Right on. - You want to share what soda flavor or what soda that is? Just-- - I mean, it's a, uh, a Quaggo ski taste, you know, uh, full hoops. These, like, the little, you know, um, the modern day surf drinker, soda. They expensive his head of $60 and $100 in the ship for a soda, that's crazy. I pay $60 for the soda. - For one bottle. - One bottle. $60. - Now, what is your opinion on alcohol, liquor, so on, and so forth? - Um, me personally, I like to sip, you know, I sip of drink, so I'm really not like an alcoholic type person, you know, but I don't have my, you know, I did with dabble sometimes, but for the main part, I sip of drink, so I don't drink liquor like that. - Now, when you have sipped on an alcohol or liquor beverage, uh, what in the past have you tasted? Or what maybe do you, when you do indulge, what do you gravitate to or towards? - I ain't allowed really. - Like beer, wine, spirit, and so on and so forth. - Like tequila, tequila. Yeah, like, for the most point, whenever I do drink liquor, it'd be like, dieholy, uh, like tequila though. That's a majority, that's what I go for tequila. - And what is it about tequila for you? - It get right to the point, like, it ain't, it ain't gonna lie, I don't know why, but like, I don't, I don't try to drink liquor before, like, I had to kind of find like vodka. I can't drink vodka, make my hair hurt. And like, so I just kind of had to find like, you know, like my type of style, how I want to feel in tequila, does the job for sure. - And what about, uh, ready-to-drink cocktails, more specifically, what's your opinion on that? - I'm, I'll be brand new to that. I know, I, I don't think that I ever tried one, honestly. - So let me give you a little definition on what this is. Now, according to a Google search, this AI overview states, quote, "RTD cocktails ready to drink are pre-mixed, alcoholic beverages and cans or bottles ready for immediate fuss-free consumption, offering convenience and variety without needing bar tools or ingredients, ranging from spirit-based classics like margaritas and old fashions to flavored celters and hard teas with a big boom in popularity for premium options like tequila, so on and so forth." - Okay. - So basically, this is something already ready, pre-made. You don't got to go to a bartender for them to mix. This is ready to go as soon as you pop the top work. - Okay. - Pop open the bot that, you know, unscrew the lid. That's not like my type of little shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? I got to kind of have like a little flavor to what I be drinking too. Like, I can't just drink like straight. I like, you know what I'm saying? I like to mix something with a little flavor to it a little bit. So, that's not like that's some shit that I indulge in for sure. - Well, there's a tequila celtzer that the audience wants to get your opinion on. Go ahead and open that lid in front of you to unveil it. Grab that can and let's get your first impression. On this item, starting with the packaging itself. - I like the presentation. I mean, I got the fox and I got the crown and then for the two. That's what popped out, you know what I'm saying? But they got the fox. I like the presentation, the color, you know. It looked like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, it's, it's like a product that can sit itself. Like, you'll just see this inside the store and like, I feel like a why not just grab it, you know what I'm saying? Now, the product is a pinya flavored and this is yacht water. Do you have any idea who a yacht water might be associated with just by saying that name there? - If I'm not mistaken, shit, little yachty. - That's correct. - This is it. - This is, he is in partnership with this. So this is his brand, yacht water and the flavor is pinya, like pinya calada. - Yeah. - If you're familiar with those. I feel like a pinya calada. - Have you heard about this at all? The flavor, the brand, so on and so forth. - Now, this is my first time here and you putting me on, smile. - Now, you've already kind of done it like a 360 just for your own personal look. Can you give an official 360 here for the audience? - Yeah. - So they can know what the official product looks like from the front to the back here. Yeah, give it a whirl. - Yeah, yeah. I'm saying, it's cool. I don't feel good with this, but yachty. - Now, as you continue to examine this can a bit further, I'll read you a few details from the packaging itself. Okay, so this is 5.8% alcohol volume. - Right on. - Enjoy cold or not, but trust us, it's best cold, which is how you're being served today with it. - Right on. - Yacht water is made with the best real ingredients and very few of them. Real 100% reposato tequila, real pineapple juice, sparkling water, a touch of sea salt, that's it. No fake flavors, no preservatives, no processing agents, whatever those are. - That's hard. - And as you mentioned, you've already examined the Fox, which is the mascot for this item. - It's fair. - And there's also a Fox fact on every can. - All right. - I don't know if you're able to see that Fox fact and read it. - Well, let me see. - Fox fact, okay, read Fox's can run up to 30 miles per hour. - Did you know? - I did not know that. I ain't going to learn. I did not know that. - Have you ever seen a Fox in real life? - Hell yeah. They got the incisions, Fox's coyotes are their tradition out there in Texas. - Ever had a close encounter with one? - Hell yeah. - Any crazy story with a Fox you want to share? - It ain't no story. - I got no part of the day, I'm not playing with no Fox, it's like, I'm not playing with name. - But where were you and how did you spot it? - Like in the backyard type of thing? - Not even like in the backyard, it's like one of the streets just in. Like my little greens point, it was like wood at first and they started knocking the trees out because they built the school back there. And once they started building on the school and stuff, the Foxes would just be running across the street and going on to the bay and shit like that. You know what I'm saying? So in the meantime, we cutting through just walking, trying to get some work. And it's a pack of fucking coyotes is outside like this is crazy, like this shit real life though. That shit real life, oh god. - And for those in the audience that want to read the rest of this, the link is in the description below this video. But as soon as you're ready here, go ahead and pop that top open. And before you even give it a sip, can you give it a smell and kind of see if any of these ingredients that was listed is. - Pop out to you, pop out. - What do you smell? - I smell the pineapple for sure and I can tear the sparkling water just by how it's fizzling. But you smell the pineapple, that's the man they got smell for sure. You kind of smell the rivers out at the end too. You know what I'm saying, smell the food in the beginning and then you got the rivers out at the end though. - I'm fucking with it. - What about key lime or sea salt, do you pick any of that up with your nose? - I don't think my nose can like decide for those ingredients. So like for the most part of smell, the liquor, that's the strongest part about it. With a little bit of peanut collage. Now here's the moment everyone has been waiting for. - The official taste test. - Taste test. I mean, let me see if you can remember what I'm talking about. - It tastes like a beer to me though. Like that's what it tastes like, like that's what I'd say, it tastes like a beer. But I guess that's the key lime. So yeah, that's kind of what it is with the sea salt and the key lime. See, I taste that more like with the taste, but I don't, you know what I'm saying? I don't smell it like so. That's what I'm tasting. That's the key lime juice and the sea salt for sure. It's cool though, like it's like a beer. I'm not a fan of beers and then like that. So you know what I'm saying? This probably not meant that I would drink on a day-to-day basis, but it's cool though. Like if you had a party or something and they got these motherfuckers. Because then I probably crack one new motherfuckers open. If I don't got no serve, you know what I'm saying? I might crack one new motherfuckers open. - Now just to be fair, yes. Give it another sip just in case. If you gave it one sip of the-- - Yeah, let me try, yeah, I got to really, let me see. - Let me see if anything's changed or if it still tastes or feels the same here. - Yeah, it's pretty much like the same. It's like, yeah, it's cool, it's refreshing, too. That's not that I could say, it's refreshing for sure. But like I said, it's kind of not like, it's not my kind of cup of tea, you know what I'm saying? But it's good though. - Now, based on your previous descriptions, you're not a heavy alcohol liquor, you know, drinker at all, maybe lightly social with it. - Yeah. - But have you tasted peanut colladas in the past? Does this, if you have, does this give it a feel of peanut collada at all? Does it taste similar to one or not even closer? How do you-- - It's close, I'm not gonna say this, it's like far-fetched, but I'd taste more of the repertoire I guess with the key lime and the sea salt. That's what pops out to me the most. I kind of don't taste the peanut, you know what I'm saying? Peanut collada, I kind of don't taste that. - Pineapple, what about pineapple? - Yeah, I kind of don't, I don't taste pineapple, honestly. I'm not gonna lie, I don't need, probably something wrong with my shit, but I don't taste pineapple actually. It tastes more like key lime juice than pineapple. - Now, did it smell better than it tasted or did it taste better than it smelled? - It smelled better than it tasted. But that's just because I'm not a fan of liquor though. So, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't want y'all to look at this and take my judgment for it. When I personally just don't like alcohol, but, like I said, it's a cool beverage. I would, if it was at a kickback or something and it was letting, I'm not even gonna say if it was letting the drink, but if I didn't have no drink, you know what I'm saying, no syrup, and then with me, I probably have cracked one of your motherfuckers over. - Any further constructive criticism of this item could be in regards to the can, the ingredients, so on and so forth. - The presentation is a 10. I get the presentation that's in out of 10. I ain't never seen no shit like this before, like on the can, so I fuck with the presentation. And I like the go, you know what I'm saying? The kind of go top on the motherfuckers too. So I like the presentation. - It tastes wise, I would say. - Scale of one to 10. One being worse than being best, where do you scale it? - I scale it like a cool, a cool five. I said I have way, you know what I'm saying? 'Cause it ain't too bad, it ain't nasty. Like I said, I was drinking, but it's just not nothing that I would prefer to drink, if that makes sense. - And just for transparency, do you know Little Yachty personally by any chance? - I don't, but I fuck with, you know what I'm saying? I fuck with some of his songs and shit, you know? Yachty and cool, dude. I like his shoes, that's what I like. I like his influence on us. Yes, look at it, if you watch this, I need all of the concrete boy, F.O.S. want. - Anything else you wanna mention about this item? Or question you or an ass, people wanna know about it as well? - The item of this, Yachtwater, by Little Yachty. Anything else? - Yeah, I mean, like I said, a little presentation, man, it's good. I wanna taste another flavor too. Like if you got any other flavors, I would like to be open to tasting, you know what I'm saying? Another flavor and see what it's hitting on. But yeah, I get this one of five. So, if you could change my mind on the next one, then maybe you know what I'm saying? I might crack a cup of the motherfuckers up in the video or something, if we're real. - And also just for transparency, I'm not personally sponsored by this person, brand or product. This was purchased just for you to taste test. And review. - Right on. Appreciate your smiles, man. For some. - Okay. - Now for those in the audience, getting to know you here for the very first time. - Yes, sir. - Care to share where you were actually born? - I mean, if you know you know, I was born here at Atlanta, Georgia. I was born at Atlanta, Georgia. And I moved to Texas, you know what I'm saying? The young age, like, and once I got there, I just stayed there and I've been there ever since. But yeah, if you know me, you know, I was born at Atlanta, Georgia, for sure. - What age were you when you moved to Texas and where Texas exactly that you'd like to share? - I was eight going on nine when I moved to Houston, Texas. And I literally moved to Greens Point and I've been there ever since, literally. - And still reside in that area or Houston today? - Yeah, I mean, Houston, Texas, for sure. I still live in Houston, till this day. - And how long do you think you were raised in the Greens Point area that you just described? Was there an age range for you there between eight, nine and eight, nine and-- - Yeah, I mean, just staying in Greens Point, like as far as living in Greens Point, I was living in Greens Point from eight years old to 19, eight years old to nine, top of 19 years old, I said in Greens Point. - And when it comes to the move from Atlanta to Houston, how did you share the reason for the move? - Uh, pretty much, uh, I got an older brother and a little sensitive. They got, you know what I'm saying? We got the same mom and the same dad and, uh, mom. It was three kids, single mother, you know what I'm saying? Trying to figure this shit out for us. And shit was actually going good for a while, but you know what I'm saying? Probably, you know what I'm saying? Some stuff happened later on down the line. And, you know what I'm saying? Unfortunately, my mama couldn't, you know what I'm saying? Do for us as she wanted to. So she shook this off from my daddy. And yeah, like, as soon as I moved in with my pops, it was just, I was just dead, you know what I'm saying? - Now, circumstances could be different for everyone, but can you give the audience here five tips for anyone moving to H-town? Five tips if you move in to H-town, that's a lot of them are moving to H-town right now. Um, I mean, five tips if you move in to H-town. I want to say, like, number one is, minding a bit, that's the number one thing for sure though. Like, you got to come here and mind your business. Like, it's a lot of things that's going on in Houston dead. A lot of people probably won't understand like, 'cause it's just a different way of living out there, but, I mean, you know what I'm saying? You come out there man, five. It's a bunch of spots you can go to, go, you know what I'm saying? Sight seeing out there, but you know what I'm saying? There's no one for sure that got to be just staying to yourself and just, you know what I'm saying? Mind the business that pays you. That'll be one. Number two, really, it's not really getting overcrowded. It's so many people moving there. It's like, we have, I don't hear it speaking on it, you starting in behalf. We don't want a lot of, we don't want everybody just moving out there. It's two, you know what I'm saying? It's two crazy out there. Now, like, it was already crazy before all this. Now, it's just like, the city is crazy. Houston is like, unreal, like real shit. It's like a GTA serving, real life. I swear to God, like real shit. So, I mean, I can't even just think of like the tips. Like, I mean-- Don't want to force it here. If you got three more, share them if not, we'll stick with the two that you have, but-- I'm trying to think, I just want to go more in the dip, but I'm trying to just-- Take your time. What would be another tip? I can't-- it ain't nothing to just really just come to mind. Honestly, smile, I ain't going to laugh. I'm trying to figure it out, but that's pretty much it. Like, I mean-- because that's pretty much what I do. Like, I would give you the tips on-- I'm not my own fucking business. Them, they're only going to be the tips that I'm a girl, because this is how I'm living. So, yeah, like, I feel like that's-- if you follow that number one rule, you'll be all right. You don't even eat five of the tips. Like, if you just follow that number one rule, you'll be good. You don't eat four more tips, like, living. Well, with your history of ATL, how often do you go back and visit? Oh, man, I'm here. I'm here, like I'll be here. I'd be ending up, I'd really be bouncing in and out for real, but I'd be here off the note. Like it was a point in time when I was coming out here like, for like two years straight, I was coming out here like, you know what I'm saying, like every two weeks literally. So, but I've been having a lot of other stuff going on in Houston, like as far as like bookings and stuff, so I haven't been having time to come out here now, like you know what I'm saying, but I'm trying to get back out here though, you know what I'm saying to put my feet on land and try to push what I got going out there out here, you know what I'm saying? Does your mother still reside in Atlanta? Do you have family still in ATL? Literally, all of my family is in Atlanta, like it's only literally me and my brother. I got older brothers and me and my older brothers, we were the only ones that lived in Houston Texas, like as far as grandma's, mama's, aunties, cousins, nieces, nephews, everybody living in Atlanta, like all my family's out here. You and your brother reside together? Oh yeah, pretty much, but you know what I'm saying, he got his own thing going on too, so but pretty much though, yeah, like we each other, we see each other daily for sure. But reside in the same household or? As a now, no, as a now, no, but yeah, I see him daddy though, we see each other every day. Well, because you still continue to visit Atlanta and you do reside in Houston, are you able to compare the similarities and differences between these two cities? There have been some that say Houston's the new Atlanta, don't know if you agree with that or not, but wanted to see if you're able to compare because there's some in Atlanta that are thinking about visiting or moving to Houston and there could be vice versa. Some in Houston thinking about visiting or moving to Atlanta for the first time. So want to see if you're able to compare with both of your histories there? It's definitely similarities, you know what I'm saying as far as like, what's going on, like in a street side, you know what I'm saying? Like it's pretty much the same thing, I could agree with that. But I mean, it is two different atmospheres though at the same time, like, you know what I'm saying? But when I come to Atlanta, like, well, basically I so look in Houston, I'm going to say this, like the landscape in this different, like you could just, like, whenever I get off on the plane and I'm in Houston, like, I know that I'm in Houston because it's just how everything looks. Like it just looks differently, like, you know what I'm saying Atlanta is kind of, you know what I'm saying? It's curvy in the rows, like literally everything in Houston is flat. Like it's no curvy hill, landscape, none of that. It's different in smaller ways like that too, but like I said, as far as like what's going on in the streets and the communities and shit, like it's basically the same shit. It's a bunch of, what I can't say too is like, it's a lot of motherfuckers that's rich and takes this though. Like it's a lot like without even, you know what I'm saying? Without the rapping music or anything, it's just naturally like a lot of, like, it's a lot of motherfuckers that takes this rich, like, and they've been rich like for years and years and years. Like that shit been going on before this new spotlight just on the city, you know what I'm saying? What about the black culture, the black population in Atlanta versus Houston? Um, I would say like the black culture, it's like kind of like the same, but like the reason why it's like that I would say that is because like Houston is just way bigger than Atlanta, you know what I'm saying? Like it's bigger than Atlanta so. And the thing is with, with separating it, what's making it different is like the Latinos, like, you know what I'm saying? The me go, it's a lot of, you know what I'm saying? Like that's, this is baby mystical, you know what I'm saying? So, it's a lot of Latinos and you know what I'm saying? My me go partners and all that, like it's, it's dead going on like that too. So, it's like, that's what kind of separated, like, you know what I'm saying? Atlanta is like black Hollywood, like Houston is like, it's just different. I'm not going to lie. Like it's just different because it's like I just, go back to what I just said earlier with more folks being rich, this is not no black, you know what I'm saying? Like it's, the me go got it going on for real, like that shit is a real thing. So, yeah, like, that's what kind of separated it out, like as far as like with the black, you know what I'm saying? It's more like, you know, it's out there, way more. So, it's just like, you know what I'm saying? We are going to give them some shit like that. Now, since you've been in Texas, Houston specifically, do you own a cowboy hat yet? Yes, I don't have one like at this moment, but I have owned a cowboy hat for sure. Like for sure. That's a part of the culture. You got to, you know what I'm saying? You got to have your cowboy hat and some, and some boots, even if you only eat raw horses and shit. I don't, me personally, I don't raw horses, but you know what I'm saying? I'm some cut your shit. You might see me one day, like pop out with a motherfucking cowboy hat on some boots and you know what I'm saying? And yeah, like I just be outside of some other shit, some cut your shit, you know what I'm saying? Have you attended a rodeo in Houston? What do you think about that? I only had one job, like literally, like my whole life, like I've never worked nine to five, like, but the one job that I did have was at the rodeo and I worked there for like my partner put me on the job and I worked there for like a week. It was like the last week of it. That was my first time going to the rodeo that I ended up getting a job there and I worked there for like a week. And yeah, I went to the, that was my first time going to the rodeo. That was my first time going to the rodeo. And I worked there for like a year and a half and I worked there for like a year and a half and I worked there for like a year and a half. I worked there for like a year and a half. And I worked there for like a year and a half. And I worked there for like a year and a half and a half, and I worked there for like a year and a half, and I worked there for like a year and a half. And what happened with that job? Why only one week? Was it another season or your this person that put you on didn't try to get you to come back for another season or? I ain't gonna lie like the dude who I ain't gonna say no name but the dude who put me on the job was a fucking like. And at this point time, this thing was a big time drug deal. Like, so it was like after that, literally after that, it was, it was up with like we, I would probably like 15 years old, like literally like after that, it was up with I jumped our real life like head first straight in the streets like it was a wrap after that. It also is a saying, I don't know if I'm butchering it here or not, but you can correct me if I'm wrong. Never leave on a Sunday. Never leave using on a Sunday. What's today? Wait, it's Paris. Hey, what's today? It's Monday. Well, it's Monday going into Tuesday. Yeah, but yes, yeah. Or technically it is Tuesday morning, but. Yeah, I had to give, I had to catch my flight Monday morning because I kind of leave using on a Sunday. Like, literally, literally, literally. That's the real thing. Like, that's the real thing. Like, it's. Can you explain what that saying means or what goes on or for those in the audience that have heard of it? Maybe there's the first time they're hearing this phrase. It's basically like just saying, like first and foremost, Houston is just sort of out week. Like, if you wonder, if you like a night life club, you can go, you can go out every day and you can go to three, four different spots in the one night. And this is going to be. It's going to have a nice car in that motherfucker. It's going to be jumping. So that basically just saying, you know, motherfucker, some traveling like, you know what I'm saying? Who come? When motherfucker traveling to come try to visit. They'll probably book. They said on the weekend, right? That's the normal booking. They're probably like a Friday Saturday Sunday. They tell you, maybe the book that flag going back on Monday because Sunday is still going on. In other places, Sunday is like, you know what I'm saying? It's Thursday, you know, it ain't just too much going on on Sunday. It's still going on the Houston on the Sunday, right at the church. Right at the church is going off. Is the night life on Sunday even bigger, more turned, more lit than a Saturday or Friday? Or that should be like a movie, like Houston. Because some cities, they're Friday or their Saturday is their number one. Yes, not the number one night. Friday and Saturday are jumping to and Houston. I'm like a lot Friday and Saturday are jumping to, but Sundays is one of them days. I ain't got a lot like you get like, oh God, like you can go to the south side. Like on the south side. I mean, they haven't, but they haven't like block parties. They have a block party every Sunday on MLK. When you come to, I mean, you come to Houston, man, MLK. Sky, all this shit down there, man. They have a block party every day, man. They can put them cars right. It's going to be a man by a good 15 hundred people. people outside is going on like for real like. So yeah, never leave 'em on the Sunday 'cause that's one of the most turn days after motherfucking. You gonna be turned up the whole day, literally. - Do you have a favorite establishment on a Sunday? - Man, it's a bunch of clubs, this ain't gonna lie. Me personally, I'm a strip club type of guy. Like I do, I do like the other clubs and stuff every night and then, but you're more than likely to catch me in a strip club before a regular club. So I mean, on the Sunday, she had pink house, 29. Do more for 'cause I'm gonna be jumping for show. So that's what I would prefer to say. Like my favorite establishment is pink house, or 29, area 29. - And why these two out of all the ones that exist? - These like the biggest strip clubs is in the city, like the historic spots, like, you know what I'm saying? That's like on our scenery. Anybody who traveled to Houston, I guarantee they got that on our scenery. You gotta go to pink house, or you gotta go to the edge, or not. If not both. I'm gonna tell you what, I'll put both in one night. What are you talking about? - Our record's still getting broke in Houston strip clubs. - Hey, I mean, yeah, in a way, I can say that here, yeah. I kind of say that in a way. OTV, that crank, that whole, that whole kind of got, like, broken the club kind of. Like, in a way, you could say it. Like, not as much as it was in the past, but like, you could, you know what I'm saying? DJ definitely play a valuable part in anything or just got going on at the city, though, for sure. Like, I'm not, I'm not gonna just say it and say it, like, breaking records, but like, you know what I'm saying? You gotta have some, you gotta have new DJs, with you, if you plan on lasting and doing this shit for real, you gotta have DJs with you, like, they don't want this, they got access to the shit, you know what I'm saying? They can get you, you know what I'm saying? It's a bunch of shit that comes with that. But yeah, DJs play a big world in that shit, for sure. - Also, last thing about Houston that I want to ask you is recently DJ Michael 5,000 Watts passed away. Did you know him by any chance? Did you have any relationship with him more? - Not, I wouldn't say it, but relationship, because we part, like, we never met, you know what I'm saying? But, you know what I'm saying? He a legend, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he a legend, especially when it comes to the switch of hard shit, not, you know what I'm saying? Like, bro, he a legend, like, and that shit was just, you know what I'm saying? Like, especially, even being from, like, on my side, like, a lot of motherfuckers ain't coming out the nose. So, hey, you know, like, my little legend, for shit shows, like, we ain't had no relationship, but, hey, and nigga was, you know what I'm saying? And I felt some kind of way about this shit. I ain't gonna lie. - How'd you hear about the news of his passing? - Instagram, I'm not gonna lie on Instagram. Just grow, and that shit fucking ill, when I seen it, I'm like, damn, like, that shit is crazy. - And for those in the audience that, you know, wanna know your official handle on that platform, 'cause there could be some scammy profiles, spammy profiles, fraudulent profiles, so on and so forth. What is the official handle? Instagram.com/KRNGKHEMOOofficial. - Yeah, them not only two platforms that I'm reading on, you know what I'm saying? And you two, you can get on, you two, just type in K and Kema, you know what I'm saying? Apple music, same thing, like, those are the platforms that I'll be on, you know what I'm saying? So yeah. - I know there's some recording artists that hide this next social media platform, but just curious, if you are intertwined with it at all, what about the platform-only fans? - As far as, like, I ain't on nothing to do, you know what I'm saying? It'd be a bunch of other shit going on. Like, I ain't gonna lie. I don't be part taking another, you know what I'm saying? I ain't, nah, I'm a, I'm a player, man. I'm, yeah, but I keep, ain't gonna be too much of that. Right now, I'm, I ain't on that motherfucker, and the motherfucker ain't been seeing me on that motherfucker on those shit like that, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I just, I just see the Instagram and, yeah. - Safe to say never ever for you there with that platform? - Never, like, what you mean, small, you gotta explain it. - Like, never ever, like, they'll never see you on that platform. They'll have shit, no, like, shit, no, I ain't gonna, shit, no. - You know, it's funny, but gotta ask because, you know, there's some people that, you know, they-- - You know, how you live, I was, you know what I'm saying? I ain't got nothing against them, ain't give it how you live. I'm not, you know, I'm just speaking from me. I ain't gonna say like that. I'm gonna get this shit. I know, I got plenty of other ways to get this shit, then by, you know what I'm saying, doing something like that. So, I'm gonna just leave that to the motherfuckers who, you know what I'm saying, do your thing. - Now, during this interview, you are sporting some items of jewelry. - Yeah, sir. - Few different pieces on your body today. Before we go on any further, can you detail what you're wearing during this conversation? - Um, AP, Royal Oak. It's an aftermarket watch, you know what I'm saying, Rose, White, fully flooded. This gives you like a $30,000 watch, but like 30. You know what I'm saying, you get too much for like 30. If you're just not the right motherfuckers. Um, cooler bracelet. This was a gift from my jewelry that I, you know what I'm saying? Got me a cooler bracelet, you know what I'm saying, cool. Carved shit, got the king paying peace. This was the, you know what I'm saying, really like. This is my first painting, you know what I'm saying? Went for it at 3D. Yellow gold, white gold, on that fully flooded, uh, V.S. one of diamonds, V.S. diamonds. And, um, a badass tennis, you know what I'm saying? tennis rope with a baguettes and ammo diamond. Flourcy, earrings, and some of those go, those are white gold, V.S. diamonds. And the team. Oh yeah, Steve, I've been, this should cry, this is the first piece of jewelry I really had. Bear having the teeth for a minute, you know what I'm saying, went to BC, 10/10, yellow gold, you know what I'm saying, everybody be going white. So that's why I'd be switching it up and going, you know what I'm saying, Rose and yellow, but mainly yellow, that's my shit. Like, you know what I mean, yellow gold, 10/10, V.S. one diamonds, F color, motherfuckers. Yeah, under this bag, no cap. Like this is really like a hundred, for sure, down a hundred plus, like not even don't know playing in, man, this is just down a hundred on guard. Now let's get into some further detail with each of these items here, just for a few specifics for those in the audience wondering, starting with the teeth. Now when it comes to the teeth, respectfully asking you this, are these pull-outs or perps? Oh, some real shit. They pull out. I ain't gonna lie. These pull-outs, but because I ain't gonna lie, I'm really finna go giving this. I'm finna, I gotta probably go like one more year with the diamonds, and I'm finna just go on, I'm just gonna have to take a mile and go full of the nearest, but yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull out, it's more a healthier way to, you know what I'm saying, do it, especially for your teeth, like with that permanent shit, it be, and that shit get tragic, like, you know what I'm saying, like month of grids be out of that, like I can then pull my shit off and still, you know what I'm saying, be good, like, you know what I'm saying? So that's why a lot of month folks probably do be going permanent because, shit, me personally though, I just want to pull out, to pull out cause more than the nearest power. And what about the necklace? Let's jump to that here. To share the jeweler behind the necklace. You've already shared the jeweler behind the teeth, but what about the necklace? I came and called on the road, on the tennis road for show, but I came and called. He was saying one got me on the AP too, and then this was a gift from one of my other Jews, their name Mike, he is. I really got some nuisance on the way with him. So he just, you know what I'm saying, he threw me a little something just for the time being, you know what I'm saying? What about the earrings who did those? I think these bc2. I got these much. When I got my chain, my C clean and, yeah, I got these at bc artists. Nick, Eard chain, bc. I mean Nick, Eard painted bc chain. I came and called AP, I came and called Mike Jewry on the bike. - And, you know, your stage name is King Kimo. Why the phrase "Kingpin"? What's the meaning behind that for "The Pendant"? - Uh, it was damn new. Like, also, I was to either type shit, you know what I'm saying? Uh, before, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, now King Kimo, that just represents it. Like, I'm more of a further movement, like, and living like a king, but the kingpin' come from. The pad, you know what I'm saying? Like, the shit that I was on before, I really just even started singing the rap she was singing, just like an alter ego. It's like, my old self versus my new self-based culture. - Let's move on to the watch. You've already shared the brand and the model. Let's start with the brand, though. Why, I believe you said AP? - Yeah, AP. - Why AP? 'Cause there's other brands, you know, some get Rolexes, some get Cartieres, so on and so forth. Why AP? Why'd you gravitate towards that? - I mean, this was really just like, this was the one that just stood right to me whenever I went and got it, you know what I'm saying? When I went and looked at the drill, this was the one that stood out the most, but. I wanna go, I'ma go back, I'ma go get Rolex, everything. I ain't got a lot like, it's more, especially now that I'm like, gaining more knowledge about the watching shit here. Yeah, it's a bunch of like other watches that I gotta go get, like, you know what I'm saying? But I just went AP first, 'cause it just popped out to me, you know what I'm saying, and shit. Buddy was ready to go. So I just dropped that shit and got it up out of there. - Yeah. - Any meaning why it's on your left wrist and bracelet on the right? - Oh, I mean, shit, this is the most proper, you know what I'm saying? You got the, you wanna change the time? This gotta be pointing this way. So that's why I just, this is like the perfect way to, you know what I'm saying, read it. And shit, I just threw the bracelet on my other side, because I got this long sleeve on. You down to the name, you're gonna be able to see the bracelet if I had it on this arm. So I just put it on this arm so I could just, you know what I'm saying? - Do you ever wear both on the same wrist? - Yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah. Majority of the time I do, Anderson. - And are you naturally right handed or left? - Right handed. I'm naturally right handed. I can do a lot of shit with my little two left, but I'm right handed, not me enough, so. - And even though you decided to go custom or bust down as some say, when it comes to the debate of that versus factory or plain Jane as some say, where do you stand on that? In this case, you went to custom or bust down. - Yeah, now for sure, I feel like the, it's levels to the shit. Like I said, like I've learned it with these watches, man, it's really levels to the shit. And I just want to go with it, like eventually for sure. Like I'm some real shit. I really, my dream watch is a plain watch. So I don't want, you know what I'm saying? Like right now, what type of value that month for the whole, you know what I'm saying? You got through a side of gold, Rolex, you know what I'm saying? Like you know how much they hold, you know what I'm saying? You know how much value that month for the whole versus a bust down after market watch, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, like eventually, I'm going to graduate to the, to the plane, you know what I'm saying? Graduate to the plane, that's what all this shit really is. This shit is like a, it's a step by step. A lot of motherfuckers be getting lost in it. I'm taking babies since at the time. I'm going to get this shit as I go, you know what I'm saying? - And when it comes to the ears, you have both of them pierced, why two pierced earrings for you? - I mean shit, I always. - So I'm just do one, some do none? - Since the baby though, I just feel like, I'm having both of my ears pierced, it's a baby. Like my mom and my dad, to me go get my shit pierced as a kid. And I just always had both of my ears up. I ain't, like in a minute time, we're not lost with like earrings and shit and then I didn't have the world. We're one of the motherfuckers, but preferably, you know what I'm saying? Like you want to go, let me just come by the pier. You might as well go to the earrings on if they come by the pier. - What about grills? Never lost that grill? - Never, like I ain't gonna lie, I've never lost this grill. Like I didn't care for it with this motherfucker for sure. Like, yeah, like I ain't gonna lie. This, I haven't had this grill, I haven't had this grill. It's like, 2023, like the beginning of 2023. - For some, that is a reason why they do decide to go permanent because they've lost grills before, they don't want to lose any more grills or the potential of losing a grill. So that's why some have used that as a reason for going firm. - Facts, I mean, me personally, I just like, I keep up with my shit, you know what I'm just, especially like if it's something like that. Like my jury, that's something that, you know what I'm saying? That I'm, that's your like instinct damn thing. I gotta, you know what I'm saying? I'm making sure that I'm taking care of that shit. You see, this is my image, you know what I'm saying? - Now, when it comes to this image, one thing you are not wearing noticeably is rings around your fingers. - Yeah. - What's your opinion on them? - I mean, yeah, I fuck with the rings too. I just, that's, I don't think I'm really just missing. Like I ain't, you know what I'm saying? I just need to go find me. I really got some fatter things that are real like, so it's gonna be hard for me to go find some shit. It is gonna fit out the real, they're gonna have to add some shit so that more fucker butt. Yeah, that's the next though. I'm gonna give me some rings and shit next, right? - Few more questions here. Now, for someone in the audience with no jury, you know, what does $100,000 feel like on your body at one time? - I mean, honestly, this should make you feel good for some, but I ain't gonna let you shit, really ain't shit though. Like, I'm some real shit. Like, you know, it really ain't shit. 'Cause I ain't gonna let you, I'm some real shit. Before I hit it, I got this shit, I was on some shit like, like 10, like, wait till I get that shit. Like, what's my good shit shit gonna be? Thinking it's gonna be this, man, you get that shit, where you, you go back to work. I'm back, I'm back working again. So this shit really, it's good to get up because I ain't got a lot like this shit, really like, down to, like, showing achievements in a way. Like, it's down to here, like, a truck in a way. This shit that you really want, like, so, you know, like, if you treat it like this, then for sure, but, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I mean, I've got this shit, and you still, I'm still having to get up, go to work. Like, this shit don't stop. Like, you know, and I ain't letting this really just change since I haven't got this year, like, you know what I'm saying? But for some people, you know, like $30,000 around your wrist, that's an auto vehicle, a plot of land. 100,000, maybe a piece of real estate. Right. Do you ever look at your jewelry in terms of that? I mean, I'm, I'm in, like, you have a car around your wrist. You ever look at it like that? Yeah, but I like other, like, I'm trying to get into other, things this, like, just like you said, such as real estate and shit. Like, and once I started doing all that, like, shit, it's watching this $1,000,000. Like, it's $1,000,000, which is like, you know what I'm saying? So, like I said, it's the opposite of this shit. Like, you know, this, this may seem like a lot, but compared to a fucking Richard Milly, what is this, you know what I'm saying? Like compared to a Richard Milly, what is this? So, it's just the opposite of this shit. Like, for real, it's just the opposite of this shit. And what is your opinion on those who purchased jewelry first, instead of the auto vehicle or the real estate? I often say some funny shit. Like I had seen this shit. You should've put it a bit, but nigga said some shit. Like, basically, it was like that kind of, it was the kind of question like that. And nigga was like, Y-Drive, like, Y-Drive, when you fly as fuck, or some shit like that, that shit was funny in the pitch. But, I'm gonna say this is saying, hey, like, first and foremost, I don't even fuck what a motherfucker doing with that money. If it's your money, but it's your heart, if you like, if you feel dead shit, don't, I don't see it and talk about that type of shit. But in these people, they sit up and talk about that kind of shit. So, for the motherfuckers, it is like, I mean shit, but I was like, do what you wanna do. Like if you feel like, man, it's a bunch of ways that I can really just like explain this shit, but like, summarize it up, man. Hey, speed up money on what you wanna spend it on, bro. If you wanna go get you some jewelry, but what I'm gonna say is, like, nigga, you better make sure that jewelry is, like, whatever it is you're doing, make sure that jewelry is adding value to it. Like, just like, thinning me as an example. Like, all right, I'm a rapper, like, like I said, I really don't even give a fuck about the jewelry, but once I did start getting the jewelry, motherfuckers are damn gonna start taking you more serious. Like, I was rapping in like, 2020, before I had any jewelry, I probably just had some earrings. I ain't had no teeth and no neck. Like, I ain't had no diamonds. I had gold grills, no diamonds. I'm not shitin' no neck. Man, as soon as I threw the diamonds in my mouth, I ain't got a lot like, it kinda, you know what I'm sayin'? That shit kinda added value to what I had goin' on. Like, my shit kinda started goin' up. So, like I said, whatever kind of purchase you making, make sure you just add value to whatever you got goin' on. I'm a motherfucker who do do a dash, or more, like, just for example. Day of party, they need to buy a cropper. You don't need to go back no jewelry. [BLANK_AUDIO] If you don't, you know what I'm saying? If you do it, do it, do it like that. You don't need to be thinking about going about a joke. I'll get you a fuck of a cross, so you can make some of my money with it. But if-- oh, I'm saying, man, spit your money how you want to spend it, man. That shit don't make me feel no any other kind of way or motherfucker spending that money how they want to spend it. Because I'm going to do what I want to do at the end of the day, too. So for you, was jewelry first, then, auto-vehicle, then real estate, or-- man, also real shit, man, I've been living-- I've been my house this year since, like, 2020. Like, really, then the kind of before that, like, 'cause 2020, I'm tripping. 2020 is when I have my baby girl. So I purchased my first house. I'm not going to say purchase, but I've been living in houses since, like, I was like 19 years old, literally. So I've been having houses, cars, all that type of shit. But wait before I had got some jewelry. I don't live in, like, five, six different houses before I even bought a grill or a train or anything, literally. Is jewelry for males, like, makeup for females? Or a BBL? I mean-- I mean, you can kind of say that shit, but, like, man, with a nigga, bro, like, if you ugly, then you ugly-- like, it ain't, it ain't-- it down there, like, coming back from that shit. Like, if that's what it is, what it is, like-- I got a lot like that makeup concert of ugly girls, like, literally, look, so whoever she want to look like. So that-- that's, like, a whole different-- it's a whole different thing, like, all right, like, yeah. As far as-- I'll probably say, like, jewelry is equivalent probably to, like, a BBL. I would say. But is it the same thing? It's like, we-- you know what I'm saying? We're, like, makeup for sure, because it's like a-- I mean, that's then, like, the same thing. So yeah, I-- yeah. That's what it is, then. Yeah, it kind of is. It-- it kind of is. I-- I'll say that what I said. It kind of is because you can go add some jewelry. But that's the thing, too. You can't just go add no any kind of jewelry on the motherfucker. It got to be specific type of shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, because the motherfucker would be outside with some-- with some cheesy jewelry. That ain't-- that ain't-- that ain't doing nothing but-- You know what I'm saying? Like, down in his stock, down near. But if you got some-- yeah, like, I ain't got a lot of-- if you go get some shit, some crazy shit from motherfucker, like Johnny Dank or some, you pop outside with that shit, man. I ain't got a lot of, like, yeah, that shit down in the wheel. Like, yeah, he down in the wheel, like, kind of-- You know what I'm saying? The motherfucker could kind of pay attention to you. That's the same thing as a BBL. Like, yeah, that shit-- that's the same shit they make a motherfucker pay attention. So yeah, it's the same in a way. I agree that. It's the same in a way. Well, I imagine also, too, that there's good BBLs and bad BBLs. So just, like, a female with a bad BBL could bring their stock down, regardless of what they paid for it. A good BBL-- some might not even be able to tell that there's a BBL. Right on. Right on. So, yeah, it's like the same thing. Like, I said, with the jewelry, like, the cheesy-- like, if a motherfucker just got, like, some-- just any kind of jewelry on them, yeah. So, yeah, you could say the same thing. I ain't going to lie. It is. Shit. When it comes to your base, what do you refer to them as? What do you mean base? Like, sometimes people call them fans, supporters, followers. Sometimes there's a custom name they have for their base. My fan base. OK. I mean, I say support is super, like, you know what I'm saying? Kings and Queens, you know what I'm saying? Kings, it's a bunch of different things that come to mind. That we can-- yeah, pretty much, I just call our supporters. I already want to use the word fan, like, you know what I'm saying? So, I say supporters. Why not the word fan? It's just something about fans. It's just not, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, it's damn near, like, in the black community. A fan is like, you know what I'm saying? Like, when you hear that tone, come out. A lot of times out of ten, it ain't a good. Ain't no good shit. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Like an insult, damn it. When it comes to your supporters, is there anything else you weren't asked they want to know here before you leave? Hmm, I think we ran it down, well, from-- Oh, you think I never come out of the top? Did you think of anything? For the next interview. OK. But didn't know if there was anything immediate that people had questions on recently of you or so on and so forth. Anything that you needed to address or-- Hmm, get off your chest, so to speak, or-- Hmm. 2026, man. Ain't this shit going on. It can't be denied. I mean, I ain't going to lie, like, since I just been, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, kind of on the scene for a little minute. So I've been on the scene for a little minute. Like, I've been peeping a lot of stuff, like, yeah. Like, yeah, like, I feel like, even like, with my son, I get a lot of comparisons to other people and stuff like that. Like, I ain't even going to speak on our names and like that. But like, I mean, if you just check, all you got to do is just really just do your research. I just started going up like a couple of years ago. But if you can look back on my track record, you can see a lot of things that I could say that I'd been there influencing the way. But we could say that for the next interview, though, for sure, so I'm telling you like, yeah, it's going on, man. I've been doing this shit for a while, but like, way before the music was jumping, I've been a household name, especially on the outside of Houston Texas, like, you want to know some of the Houston Texas, like, you know me. In some kind of way, like, you know what I'm saying? In some kind of way, I can't even speak on all the ways of my mother for my number, but you love me some kind of way. Yeah. Any last words before you leave? You're going to write this shit up, so I was just good, man. I couldn't be right back, man. Hey, King came out out of them out now. I was showing platforms, man. I got new projects going away. Should I reveal the new project now? OK, we're going to the Underground King, man. And it's like, you know what I'm saying? It really takes a shit. And I really feel like I'm in the Underground King. It's like, it all going correlation. So it really takes a shit, man. Also, real Underground shit. I'm really speaking like I'm doing a lot of shit. The mother for the night doing it, man. So, yeah, the Underground King, man. Coming soon in June. We got the tour coming up in June. Hey, man. This shit going on, man. Steady motion. This shit ain't stopping until I have something, man. So I better give this shit a good loss. Is this a title that you came up with or someone coined for you? I ain't got a lot more, like, I kind of be having, like, my take names, like, playing it out already. Like, I got-- you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm that type of thinker, you know what I'm saying? I got, like, literally, like, all my projects are on the drop. These have been names of my takes for years. Like, I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like, I got a big came up with this shit. Like, even with the King Pins shit, like, like, that's-- like, I just dropped King Pins too. I'm, but, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, even back then, like, it was-- I was talking about that King Pins shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just, like, now I'm putting them more, like-- like, I said, making it like an ought to ego, but, yeah, I've been doing that shit too, like, as far as the King Pins shit. So, yeah. You shared the month, you want to share the date of the release? I'm going to have to wait for that one, but there's no-- it's some of the time, though, for sure. June, we coming crazy. Do you want to share any features on this project? Not yet, but I got some good-- I got some good shit on that motherfucker for sure. A lot of-- you know what I'm saying? Texas base, you know what I'm saying? I'm, like, I'm definitely going to spam my harasses as well. Like, for the-- for sure, for sure, with this project, like, I got to go crazy on the Texas side. I'm-- yeah, they-- they-- they-- they-- they fuck with me everywhere in Texas. Like, I don't see these Dallas everywhere, but for the city of town there in Austin. So, yeah, we going to-- I'm going to do this project on some Texas shit, man. I'll tell you to sit up another night for sure, for sure. Is there a tour name?
