The conversation features a 22-year-old rapper from Compton’s West Low Street, who explains his unique lingo like "Yadjacks" for projects and "Yompton" for his city. He describes a rough upbringing, noting his father was shot 11 times by police when he was one, which caused his parents to split because his mother couldn’t handle the lifestyle. Despite this, his dad remains a figure of resilience, though he’s currently incarcerated. The guest recalls witnessing a dead body at age seven, a moment that made him realize the harsh realities of his environment. He dropped out of high school in 10th grade, informing his parents he wouldn’t finish, as he felt compelled to pursue immediate goals, including music. He spent five years on the run and was later raided by police, facing serious charges with a maximum of 16 years. However, he fought the case in trial, and his fingerprints proved his innocence, leading to his acquittal and the return of $20,000 seized during the raid. He views this as a turning point, reaffirming his commitment to his music career, which includes an upcoming album titled "No Help." He emphasizes the importance of making something out of limited opportunities, avoiding shortcuts, and staying true to his path. Despite never having a job interview, he’s focused on success through law of attraction and determination, aiming to rise to the top of the rap game.

Just have me shit I'm having one my first birthday and they said where she came to the hospital and told him she can do no my mom Tell me the whole story let me know she came to the hospital while he was in bed And let you know like she can be a part of his lifestyle really Damn, so you got to take that in consideration you would you rather? Mary a woman who knows about the streets or one who's like not comfortable with it Mm-hmm and for the sake of me cuz sharpened up he sharpened up every which way Or I wouldn't I wouldn't expect him to change nothing. I know how shit was back in his day growing up You know what I'm saying? I'm 22 years old right now You give them Zan and it's tough for a nigga you feel me it take a lot of self control, right? I'm saying we should take a lot of self control So I know it was a challenge he was facing here just figure out how you get through Who no matter who trying to stop it and they're gonna figure out to get through but being that he been through some shit like that Was he trying to tell you to stay out of trouble and like real stay away from the streets? It's so I knew what could happen early if if you take this shit for granted you play Thinking I didn't think that can't do that. I think you can't be hurting. I learned about all that shareily Mm-hmm. I learned about what a man can't do Right, what can be done with a man capable of it's a lot of people not knowing what a man is capable of out here Get them saying that shit just made a nigga All around the ball not playing no games But so you learned a lot of like lessons from your dad But it wasn't enough to keep you actually like on the straight and narrow You're still interested in it and they had more life lessons that I was dealing with on my a long time That a nigga had to be able to do something about get through the problems of Provide for if it was providing needing to be done for those lessons all type of shit and due to that I had to go around anyone telling me this is maybe how I want you to do anything whether who they was you know I'm saying it's a life. I'm still looking at through these eyes and I never had to Handle certain situations, you know saying without waiting for no words. I can't do no second guess Neither can any of my needs we got to move on Okay, but for you like what what's the difference are like what makes? You know rapping and being in the streets and living that lifestyle like what makes that a lot more appealing than than just like you know Going to college is like getting a regular job like what do you think it is that makes you I don't think it's more appealing. I think that Well what I had left the fact or anybody that what you have left if you make something out of that shit Right on you get them saying every every feel they in this open is something Some is for people you get them saying it ain't as much of a wide opportunity So when you just get what you get and Don't take no shortcuts to change anything just give what's giving to you and make something of that shit That's always gonna be respectable so it was never just me looking at the fact that um Different different or stand away from college like that's not interested in me the other She's interested more than me know my environment was was set out in front of me and I became and and and got a part and got with that She didn't make something of it not getting Sony money you get them saying instead of just sitting bush She didn't get mad at somebody else because they ain't the same thing. I ain't I got time for that shit They got money out here to get man. You know, I'm saying like I told you I was gonna be here I'm saying law of attraction. I'm saying I got a different plan out here. She gonna get done. Just mark my word It's my second ever interview in life. Get them saying life. I ain't never even had a job interview. Right you get them saying how old are you 22 22 right? Okay, so yeah, damn you're in out of job. No, I don't knock it though I don't give me wrong. I tried to work when I was 13. I just kidding. I was paying houses with my neighbor He was really a part of Sherman Williams the company. How many days you make it? I made it out how many days that I go? Yeah, like three months Got my first check in the was like so it was as thin as the paper in the low. I'm like yeah, they're saying me right but it was cool It felt good to do some honest right yeah, I used to I was getting up and going anything I used to paint houses where I would be up on This tall ass ladder like second or third story just painting the side of this house and I would just always think like What if I slip and fall? Because I'm doing this bullshit for like ten bucks an hour is the equivalent to the year to pay the whole time That'd be what I'll be thinking about yeah, you know, I'll just be like what if I die up here real shit Yeah, you didn't I didn't luckily, but you know anything could happen Because you know, I've known a few people in my life who like their parents like got paralyzed from like falling off a ladder She happy people said why people know my problems you can fall off a ladder Okay, so Is there like any moment like from your childhood or whatever that really stands out as like Just an inflection point where like things just really started to change like this is when you realized how real shit was outside Seeing that first day body as a kid really show you saw I'm dying this song laid out. I heard it in scene Mm-hmm kiss have me resolved low as boy low as boys playing outside You were seven mm-hmm and that promise you just come outside just hearing screaming and then when you go up to where that screaming come from it's just Yeah, horrific for show on the walls everything had changed me. I never forgot about it I was that early young saying I've done throw past side rooms and seeing blinking lights with that I ain't no interest in it. I see what happened and then her what might have occurred before that she was crazy Right, and they got me and my little brother always doing was getting closer Police didn't stop was looking at it closer trying to get a better was I dude you knew or not? No, no department person in the apartments still no is just wide open So as a kid that's just heavy you can see it for sure you were seven dude cuz like my kids five and a half She don't even like understand the idea somebody killing somebody. Yeah, you know like like at seven Yeah, you're a little more advanced and five and a half man don't introduce your to none of this shit Yeah, I think the time nowhere near the time and don't think they don't obtain that shit when they come across any sign
when they see these games and people obtain that shit, bro. - Yeah. - So we just not in the mind of theirs to be sitting with them all day to understand that they do understand that shit they do. - Yeah, 'cause like, yeah, my girl was pissed off 'cause I told her that Kripp Mack and Brick Baby were in jail. And then I had to like explain the concept of jail. I had to explain, she's like asking me if I'm gonna go to jail. She's like, am I gonna go to jail if I do bad in school? You know, all this shit that I just kind of realized right then, like damn, like. Well, you gotta close relationship with them. So when she see they're not there and they'll always be around, probably where you at. She don't want the same for you and then she listen to you, tell the tourists or she gonna believe you know what I'm saying? - But if I was real honest with her if she was like, why they in jail, I'm gonna have to be like, they had guns on them. She would be like, well, you got a gun too. Like, there's just so much shit that the kids not ready to understand. - Yeah. - You know? So, yo, when you're a kid, like, is there ever like a moment when you realize, like, damn, I'm from a legendary ass city. - Yeah. - You know? - Very young. - From like a hip hop perspective, like a lot of cities in LA or in SoCal, we'll be lucky to have one huge legendary around her and comp thing got like, ten of them. It's kind of crazy. - No, for sure. - Yeah. - For sure. - So is that like something you thought about as a kid? Like, they all, yeah. - I'm gonna do this 'cause-- - I'm just gonna do this 'cause-- - I always want to go hard. - Movies like straight out of the content and shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, it made a nigga want to go hard. Just watching them do that thing before anybody made movies and offsprings it as shit. Like, that shit made a nigga want to get his group, make sure we write, where you coming from, where you grow up and go right from there to go hard from there, that shit made a nigga want to go hard. All around those lines. And they've been watching, and mindset, and they've been watching people do this before my time. So it was like, hell yeah, like, me, that's what nigga want to do. And they could be out here doing many things. Doing something with your craft that you can better day by day. That's cool. That's acceptable. You get what I'm saying. You gotta be the toughest. Go find something to do. And hopefully people tie to it. - When people like, call it Bompton, does that like not really make it too happy? - No, I shit don't affect me. - That's just whatever. - You got your way of speaking and I got mine. - 'Cause that's like local pride, either way, right? - That's like, they've been, that's what float they both. Just don't disrespect my, that's right. - That's right thing. - Okay. So you get like, what were you like in high school? I guess, like, what was your high school experience? Like, I was, I was, I was a nigga, man. Yeah, I'm saying. For sure, everybody would be like me. I was cool and I made it. I made a way for others that had a hard time. I was like that. It's saying if they explain that to your heart too. - So you were popular, but you weren't like beating people up so much as like, being like a positive figure? - I was getting money. - Mm. - I got to sit there. I dropped out the sophomore year. Some shit had, it went better had to go away. But I, through my years on the way up to being there, I was a good person for sure. I was something that I could look back on and be glad that, you know, knowing that's the time that people know them, they want to go back to, I wish I was in school, dude. I'm glad I was the way I was in there. You know what I'm saying? And I didn't leave school by choice. I had to, you know what I'm saying? I only had 40 credits left. - But you got to do what I had to do. - You caught up because you were serving some shit? - No, no, no, just life had changed and a lot of stuff got woken up and then you had to go away. - But you got a cake, right? - Yeah. - Okay. And you were locked up for how long? - Just a little minute. - Okay. - But that the high school thing? - Yeah. - Damn. - Is that ever great? - I called my print, nah. It wasn't ever great because I didn't do it on the law. I didn't do it. I knew that the life I was living it wasn't going to happen. If I wanted it, I knew what I was going to do to make myself make it happen and I wasn't doing those things. I called both of my parents and I told them, they had to tell you this. I told them both on the phone. I said, "I ain't going to graduate." You get what I'm saying? I said, "This is what it is for me. It's not that it's hard." I'm not focused on it. I told them straight up. This is 10th grade a little bit before I could get it out. I'm telling them, I'm not finna do them last two years. And then life ended up going high. I just had to follow through what I had to follow through. It was hard for them to hear that shit and they didn't accept it. It just ended in the phone hanging up. That's how that went. Why did you not want to finish school? You were like, "Start this believing yourself as an artist and shit like that?" At the time, it was like, "I got to do something. I got to do it my time right now." Like, school day let you come back to when you get older. The shit that I had to do right through at the moment was not finna be able to be missed and it wasn't going to be able to be able to come back to. You mean like with the music, like it was starting to kind of form in your mind? You were like, "I had to press go." You know what I'm saying? Be younger and they get thought out. I never know that time. People be talking about you going to know when you're going to know what to do when you got to know when you got to know when I had to do what I had to do. And I press go. You understand what I'm telling you? Now I got that shit done. For sure. I got that shit done. I'm still on the way to the top. I got work to do. When you start to feel like the music was actually working. When I called my case, when I just caught this recent case that I just got it all up lifted off of me, it was facing. When the max was 16 years when I was facing eight, you know what I'm saying? And it was just because I knew it was going, whatever it was, I was going to go with the floor of it. And then trial, realizing, trial and hearing, my lord tell me about trial, just taking and go do trial. And they went through trial and then it came back. My fingerprints went on under the shit that I was finnished there for. So if I would have never, if I were to stuck with the public defender and just sat there, I would have took a ride for three things that didn't have none to do with it. I fought it. And they showed that them three things didn't have none to do with it. And they get so I'm still, I'm able to do this now. So what was I going to rob? I'm going to rob a rear some. It was some bushy to raid. I'm going to sleep. I thought some of these was coming to ride me. I woke up. The dough didn't kick, but they kicked it. So that's what woke me up. And then I hear Jason Oliver. If you not believe this is real, call 911, make it sober. Wait, so you thought it was like a home invasion? But it's the cops. I ain't never happened. I ain't never been in a raid and they ain't never had that much of the show of a moment for me. I'm moving around. I was on the run for five years also. And that's what led to this? I'm starting my album getting my shit going. If you listen to the album, the first album dropping my next album July 24th, it's called No Help. But if you listen to the first album, it's talking about me thinking I'm damn full. I'm going to go away. You know, it was, it was, I'm thinking it's over every every other song other than a song you might have caught a good vibe from. It's listening to it for the goal in a minute. You know, you're on the run for five years with a show. I mean, yeah, it's hard to be on the run these days. No, you just got to know the move. It was cool at first because that took five years. I wasn't with everybody seated. No, me as now. I could walk in the store. You know, I'm saying I can move around. I can switch to here now. And then everybody knowing me. So now when they came from me and that rate, it was also a good and a bad thing. Yeah, they came and booked the nigga and I had to do trial for the shit that I'm now free from, but I was also on the run. So I had a warrant with that. So I had to hold on me. I didn't get to get out, get in the belt. I would have belted out as soon as I went down. They took 20,000 from me and then they, I got the money back though. They took 20,000 from me. Like you had in your room? Yeah. They tried to save some bullshit, but that money came back because they seen them, they checked stuff from Sony. I was just going to say it's like a crazy scenario to imagine. Look, check your in bed. They start banging on your door. Hi. Do you shoot at the door? I'm in a bed. Look, or do you wait till they get through the door? Just sign my deal. I'm in a bed. I'm in a garage. I got a bed in the garage. I'm sleeping in the garage. I pulled the whole moment. I'm me where I slept. I had my photo money hit all the shit. I'm in the garage sleep. They kicked the garage though. If it was a regular average dog, that my **** would have hit with the open. The cigarette was dope. Didn't open. They get a word busted off and everything. But boom, once I realized it was that, I got up, got myself together and walked out to what I had to walk out to. Okay. As soon as I come out there, they just showing and they go off, I got a high-pitched guy and all this other **** because they got to identify themselves. Right? Otherwise, all type of **** all kinds of bad shit. What happened? They should have like a song that they play. So that like everybody knows they got that song. The inner come out, bring your ass off this one ****. I should play Metallica. But anyway, so how long you locked up for that shit? For that shit, that shit, they don't even have me in there for what, 25 days before I got on pre-trial release. Okay. Pre-trial releases when you were able to get out, do the trial. You feel in the fight? So I was on GPS. I had ankle-mutter and GPS, but I was on GPS first. They don't GPS until I fought my case and we came to the solution that I'm finna do the ankle-mutter and after we found all the **** about no fingerprints on ****, you get a sand. Then I took the ankle-mutter and locked my ass in the house. Did some work this album that's finna drop on July 24th. I made that. Get them sand, chill. And now I'm back. I got worked to do videos to make them. I was just in the hood all day. Shoot and I got there six in the morning stayed until it was time to come in with you. But so you feel like you, you couldn't really like do what you wanted to do as a rapper before because you're on the run and **** like. No, it was getting done. But I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't, I didn't feel like I could just how easy it was to do a video where I can't just where I'm at now show my area and still probably being that area because I got a stick and move and things like that. I couldn't just do that. Yeah. I mean, if you should a rap video out on the street, the cops are coming sooner or later. So nice. They're always coming. So like, you know, if you want to not talk to the cops, so like one of the main things, you see about videos is it big mansions, big places that I got to get to that door
He's gonna be closer didn't need couldn't have disclosed location. They have to get right and I had to get him down And get up out of here right And but so you could have like a phone and post on Instagram and shit They weren't like tripping on you that hard went for the post innocent like while you were on the run like because you like Just have a phone and be on some regular shit with the phone It depends on where you in the room on the run from and where you go That's what I'm saying if you got like the feds after you for ten murders like Yeah, but what I'm saying is Don't don't be on the run And being that same city where you want to run for other sound you go to Florida. You're good That's all I say you got to go where you go move around right yeah, you gotta go somewhere else You're gonna be good sitting down Right definitely Okay, so So after that like so you sign your deal. Yeah, they come find you that day and then Find it a little bit later. I got to celebrate a little bit. Ain't just give you hold on ain't that good But they can they can should have my shit together when they can Okay, and so how'd you feel you beat that case though great because it went to trial when me for a negative So conference for me I wasn't supposed to fall for me. I wasn't supposed to be over right there I was supposed to it's molded as shit. That's what me and all my niggas is going through right now Every single one of my niggas is going through their own trial and error and make it through we all in different parts of the ocean right now along And he's got to swim back you get them saying we all doing that they're having our fair share doing that trust me And they ain't nothing they need his first rodeo at all drinks are gonna be back.

It's kind of like drill is kind of like weirdly like minimalist But there's like a lot of rap that kind of falls into that category now where dudes have their own like vocal kit and like Sonics Here you tell me how my music is Now look just for the people who like listen to this but haven't checked it out yet, you know, so I appreciate that Check me out how about slow seven running on my platform Yeah, I want you to know this album that's dropping on July 24th that's gonna Open up the floor paying and not just drill and all this is gonna talk about open up on what I went through and what I'm going through Okay, and my voice I'm learning how to use my voice naturally like I'm getting that out on the album too All right, that's what's up sure Yeah, like who do you think influence your sound and like who made you I feel like I feel like I Listen to a lot of oldies and stuff like that you get them saying And R&B but but if I Could say I got a serum I don't feel like I sound like nobody but who made me want to like talk my shit It's like they were older artists that I tied to you know, I'm saying I like to hear DMX I like to hear 50 shit. I like to hear pop Get them saying I like shit like that and then I Use my day what I'm going through the life in the way I live and I put my shit together How I want to you? I'm saying my way I try to rap is I want my bars to sound rare Not like I put them together. He had a good. I want him to sound rare like he up in there trying to do something He having to try to rap about something alongside of hearing me throughout of my bars better have 90% It's real shit about me, but I need a one like I'm trying to get out my style. I got a stop I'm trying to get out. I got a style. You got a different vision for sure Sonically for sure and I'm not afraid to be versatile. Mm-hmm. I'll just rap one way Do you think that like a lot of LA rappers get held back because they sound like old school L.A. shit or like the music always has like some sort of reference point back to like some classic Shit Because I feel like drako was kind of like Stands out to me as like the first like big LA rapper that kind of said all that old school shit I ain't trying to sound like I'm from California at all. I'm gonna. Yeah, you kind of like rewrote that and then I feel like that You kind of fall into that category too is somebody who's kind of like yo, we're gonna just like Make this shit from scratch like we ain't gonna make this shit sound like LA rap. I feel like my Sound like that and probably his sound the way his sounded like in his own ways because I'm not gonna compare myself to him, but I want to rap and show that people my way of rapping Not just want them to think that I can rap so make some shit that they already are tied to or can easily open doors too So it can be easier for me. No, I don't care how long it takes for my style to Grow on you, you know saying I'm gonna keep putting my shit out
You get what I'm saying? I'ma keep putting my shit out. And it's taken from me really well. I like to think I'm doing really good. With the listening and gradually building interactions with the people, you know what I'm saying? I'm listening to my shit. - Right. Do you listen to like drill music from like Chicago or Philly or any other type of shit? - Yeah. I listen to a little bit of A.T. I like to hear what's going on in place and I'm out there. - Uh-huh. - For sure. My label in New York, so I'll be out there and I'll be hearing what sounds they got that way. - Okay. So why'd you decide to sign? It was just them hollering at you. They saw the potential and you just decided like, this could take one to another level. - I wanna get through that next door. I could keep doing this shit for me and for all my people that's closest to me. Or I can open these doors and show the world how serious I am about this shit. And that's a great way of starting that. Not saying that's all this people that could probably take off without none of the things, no way shape or for being that. But I wanted to, that was like a promotion to the fact that I'm getting into this shit. Wanted to be taking this shit serious and it's gonna make you fastly, quickly learn what's going on. - Right. - And like that being signed to a label, it's like a job. It's a job. - Yeah. - You're gonna make you learn what that job takes for it to be ran and going for you to be on that side of those things, you know, alongside it within that job. So being a part of a label, it made me get on how this music sheeted me and ran. Aside of the music I never knew on the professor and I was pushing my own shit, being a judge of my own, she checked my own numbers and was recouping. I said, "It's a whole other ball game." And I'm gonna test with people that I probably wouldn't even talk to if they were in the same room. - Right. - Doing business with them. I'm saying. - For sure. I mean, what do you think it is that like holds back a lot of LA artists? Like it feels like we've just had so few, like real stars pop off over the last however many years. - Get out of your comfort zone. The ones that's popping off getting out of their comfort zone. You're gonna do your thing in your neighborhood. You know what I'm saying, but your neighborhood should be a big support system and you're doing your thing around the world. - Yeah. - You get what I'm saying? Get out your comfort zone. - Me. - It is a weird thing 'cause it's like the fans want to see you in your neighborhood. They wanna know that you're accepted in your neighborhood. The fans are actually like with it enough that they give a fuck about stuff like that. But then ultimately you have to be able to make music that like extends past just talking about some shit going on in your neighborhood. - For sure. - You gotta be able to, you know, it's gonna be a crowd of people to that feels to how you're talking about the neighborhood and can tie to that same shit. But there's a big crowd that don't live in the neighborhood and know how it goes on and over there and we're going through different trials in life that you could wrap about. - Right. - Race the people. That's what they don't want to listen to it. - Right. - Get those shit out there for sure. Talk about what you need to. - What? - And embrace the people. - Why are you rapping about killing flies? - Killing what? - Flies. - I don't know what the hell that is. - That's not even your city. - What? - I just, I heard you on the J-Bull song, you said something about killing a fly and I'm like, damn, like you picking up all his memes. - No, no, no, man. We was cleaning the house and we was swadding them around the house. Get them zan. - Oh, okay. - That sound, what sound do we make when you got the fly swatter around your home? - I don't know. I got a salt gun. - Yeah. - Are you really killing them? - Listen, buddy. - I hate you. Get it done. - No, no, no, no. - No, no, no, no. - You're not gonna run the house and shit. - But I just, okay. So if you're tapped in with somebody in another city, whatever smoke they're in too, you just signed up too? - No. And if somebody's doing that, you better be in that smoke. - I don't do nothing about my boy gun. Good show. Who is doing that? They better be in that smoke. And except in 18, that community though. - Right, you can't pay half way in. - Amen. Hey, you ever saying? - So, how you shit together? - But show, you gotta be on point, man. - How you shit together? - You feel like confidence, like a super dangerous place to be at these days? - It's a game. - It's not a game. - Not a game. How you shit together? - Yeah. - You're another one. That's not a game. I'm saying, you know, you, or just be with the right person. You ought to be the right person, or just be with the right person. I go for me. And then I go for anybody. Make sure you're shit together. - Right. Yeah, no, definitely. I mean, I feel like people always try to be like, oh, I went to Compton and they got nice green grass on their front yards. Like, this shit is nice. It's not the trenches. People like, they just cause people live in houses. - It has this park like Harry City. - Yeah. - Some people that is making beautiful living out there. Don't get the city fucked up. It's just park as part of it. If you turn down, my boy is it turn up or you? You shit like that? - Definitely. So how did your family feel when you decided to get into a rap and they weren't feeling the decision? You said that they had thought. - How's it for it? - My family supported me every which way. - My rap and ain't based off of, bad rap and my rap and my rap and it's based off of how you feeling. This may be on your mind. I'm just saying it for you and on the beat that may be cool. - Right. - You understand? But, they was cool. They was all for it. You understand? They wanted me to go all the way. Make sure this shit going on the way. Anything you said in your mind too, or you could be doing something that you gonna go all the way. You understand? I'm going all the way. I'm not gonna be playing all games with this shit. I'm manifested every day. I go to sleep. I'm saying every step I take with my feet. I'm not from the play. You understand? That's all they put on. They made that acknowledge the boy enough. Make sure your ass follow through. - Right. - They were supportive though. My family was supportive. All my family supported me. They love my music. They, my siblings love my music. They full of smiles. They always love to hear new things. They gonna be happy about this. Sure. There's gonna be a lot of ways on here. But this gonna be a real positive one for them. They gonna like this. Your parents aren't gonna be like, "Why are you smoking a blunt in the interview?" - No. - No? - I take care of my minutes. - So they've accepted that part? They ain't gonna ever send us shit like that. - That's the kind of thing my parents would be pissed about. - You ain't ever sent us shit. - You look like a f**k. - Don't do it in front of them. Don't smoke with them. I don't ever know how to ask no dumb shit like that. - Oh, okay. - You never smoke a border in your parents? - I have. - You have. - For me, but I know that's how I know that. He said, "Don't do it." - Yeah. - You know what I'm saying? That's not something we not mixing into mixing and doing all that stuff. Until they get really good. I just still have value. I hold with my parents. It's still certain shit that I don't let them see me doing. I don't want to see them do it straight up. - Your parents don't smoke weed. - Your parents are probably younger and they probably don't think it's bad. - Hell yeah. - Hell yeah. - Yeah, my parents are like ancient white people that like-- - They got boundaries. - They're not into smoking weed. - My parents strict on both things. They got boundaries though. It's love, but don't get it from love when he comes to work. - My parents told me they smoked weed in the 70s in college. - Yeah. - Yeah, but-- - I'm wondering what that time is like. - Probably some dirt, some stupid trash weed if you were thinking about it. - Yeah, it was still smoking ass shit though. - Yeah, every see pictures are like Bob Marley. And like, he's just smoking the worst weed you ever seen. - I think yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah. Back in the day. - No. - Yeah. - He makes him get tough. - Yeah, because he's like an icon of weed, but if you see like today's weed is so futuristic, even the worst weed today is-- - I wouldn't put it past you though, Bob probably knew so. He was getting his eye on him. - Well, they were probably having a strong sleep. - So much. - And they are Ike. - Imagine if you were in his name. - You pass him a backwards full of futuristic Zah. You're gonna pass out. You're gonna have to take a cat nap for real. - Not for sure. - Just like anybody in the UFC could beat the fuck out of Bruce Lee. - I hate to say it, but you know. - Why do you think that? - There's just been a lot of like advances in fighting like-- - What do you think about that McGregor fight? - That she was insane. I was like rushing to get back to the hotel so I could put on the UFC fight. - You really shouldn't. - Yeah, and then I turned on the TV and he's just laying there with a broken leg and I'm like, "What the fuck?" - You gotta get a CDS. - That's a really nice, you guys. - Oh, you know what I was rigged? - A lot of people think that she was rigged. - I don't know if that's a time for this. - I don't know it's true, but they said they saw him going into the clinic and his knee checked out a couple days before. - I mean, if I'm him and I hurt my knee, I'm not saying shit about my knee. I'm going in there, I'm getting paid and then I can get knee surgery. Which I think everybody is assuming that that's a problem. - They pay for niggas on both ends or something, right? You lose, you lose, you lose, you get so many of them, right? - Oh yeah, yeah. You get a lot of times it'll be for somebody like him. It'll be $5 million to show up and $5 million if you win. - Some fall. - I'm not sure. - I don't give a fuck. - Free money. That's their business though. - Yeah, man. - I mean, that's what any logical person would do is just show up, lose, get paid. Nobody considers it like a real loss because it's obviously just injured yourself. - Not for sure. - Yeah. - I'm sure. - So you be watching the UFC? You watch sports in general? - Yeah, hell yeah. I was fucking with it. I used to play sports back then. I ran track in the UFC too. - For real? - Yeah, I was shit. I'm being on working now exercising. - Oh, really? - Getting a job, calisthenics, all this shit. There we go. Stand fit. Niggas, knock something out. - I mean, yeah, you do got a nice little bus up there. - Knock something out. You know the nice little guy. - Well, yeah. - So you squabble ready? - You ready for a squabble or? - Yeah. - Squabbles are two old school. - Stop it. - Get out there. What you talking about? Niggas ain't never two old school. Get out there.
I mean a lot of like drill rappers and shit will be like I'll never fight someone if my life dependent on it I'm just killing everybody for the rest of the time It's kind of impractical, but we're so you lose so they did a role fight. Yeah, sure Swamstore is try to make fun of LA and be like oh LA is just people That's the great that is the grand that white boy who did his first year He don't be saying no bullshit about me. I don't think he made it to you, buddy No, I'm making like clips and shit. He always said like have a good artist or something I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to do his thing I don't know. I'm a pro-spat. Yeah, like he always say here. I see say some shit He's like like every time somebody send me a post. You know, you know Real To a lot of people in Newark, yeah, man. They really want to smoke his ass Well, he bush it and see I don't see you guys Well, I seen him like I'm not gonna involve you by naming the people I'm talking about But I see him make a video about a rapper talking about how this like rappers everything you line He's talking about his lies and he breaks down why it's lies and what bodies he's claiming all this shit I'm like, bro, this is brutal. This is like really career devastating shit right here And now he's out here people know what he look like I even know where anybody did it, but that's shit. That's crazy. He got spies. I guess Well, it's a crazy place Is it very important for you to not talk too much on an interview or on social media about whatever you got going on the streets You believe in that code. You should do more than you speak of anyway. Get shit And then to talk about hmm talk about it ain't gonna help me Right, we all learn that Yeah, I Mean it's it's kind of weird cuz you get all the old heads just Talking about everything every night on social media and shit and then a lot of the younger dudes these days are more Quiet on social media because they are the ones who maybe actually have shit to hide The I'm maybe the older people lived more life to not care where this shit could go the younger people got more life to live To where this shit could go somewhere bad or something fuck something. It's like people that can handle doing this. Mm-hmm I'm saying I don't know to take punches jazz or they got bullshit out there. I don't know you get them saying right You just gotta know how to conduct yourself. It's your body Well a lot of young people are kind of like rare on social media and shit like they don't post a ton on Instagram Then when you like look at an old-head Instagram They post like ten times a day a lot of times. That's just like a different attitude about what's what's a cool way to express yourself on there Wherever floats your boat You're like big on social media and not really yeah for sure. I like this thing. I'm doing some number I get good good good The rations good getting racks on the YouTube good and they're actually my platform and shit Labels be telling me letting me know if she's looking good. I feel like everywhere I go I'm always getting love and it's great. You want no scratch? I get love from the youth I'm always taking pictures with people up in my eyes, you know what I'm saying but The youth I love sharpening up You know, I'm saying make sure I'm sharp for the children man like for real, bro Because it's like it's surprising that I'm even being liked or this music is something to them in a way and Always think you know back to my good songs that ain't liking that bullshit song But you know these kids are these day grow up fat, but I just love the fact that I could see the youth make I'm happy to make some kids some of my own man Because I remember being one and then seeing that person that I thought was so cool to me Happy to me or when they interact I mean I'm happy to me But like just a person that was I wanted to be like and when they interacted to me when they interacted with me It made me just feel like like that could happen to me even more that could happen for me more often or like this person Seize me you get up and I love when I have that moment to do that for the youth just see him and acknowledge you I'm saying yeah, I always stop I stop walking and come back to make sure I don't miss somebody that's trying to show love to this Shake is it started to shift from nothing man, right? You know, I'm saying so to see what it's come to crazy Yeah, yeah, it's nothing to you, but it's like the biggest deal ever to them. So you gotta or it's trying to make that time, you know for sure Okay, so uh How often you talk to J. Broke because we were on FaceTime with him from jail earlier What's the connection with him everyday, you know Over those type of photos should be a little hectic for all of us you get upset But I always let my brother know I love you tell him something positive Let him know if I got plans and what I'm doing with the work. Mm-hmm. Try to keep him Understanding what I got going on. What I have in the ask too much or have his head too much on the outside I just put on him and try to go through his go through his time handle his minutes I love the way my nigga adapts to the time and get that shit done I'm telling you he it's a way it may look to you people but man Personally and with this family and with everybody he makes sure everybody's still taking care of he makes sure everything's still right He makes you all this shit together and he check in he always smiling Like like he always smiling you know what I'm saying and I never never never want to see that get taken away from that nigga man He he K nothing is still his joy Them saying and I saw say man. He gonna be back But this shit just nigga adjusting to a time right now It's a big time and they're not gonna see her act like it ain't as hard you know I'm saying it's hard but then once that new the game plan learned the game plan and had they shit together And it was really learning from our brother to know what to do when we had just into this time You know once you see in this building like we had just into this time you know I'm saying but it's hard though Niggas gangster I ain't finished it to act like it ain't as hard though you know I'm saying knowing and first you see how I look with the people And shit we got to know this keeper heads out of that Know what's going on personally with our thug you get them saying know that your brother coming back y'all gonna be back Or on how y'all was niggas even though he was just right here like niggas was just right there watching him right here I'm saying trying to be quiet enough for my third to get his time in you I'm saying as she hurt But you get them saying but I love that he getting it done and he getting like I said in my trial Niggas it was a big woe and a big almost over for me and I made a whole outmof thinking it was over but it got all that bullshit behind me Look at me now you know you know I'm saying like this about certain reasons not about them people right now What you know what to do and what not to do sort of make them stay away from it You know I'm saying and sharpen my youngs so that they can move right in this building We don't end up in a position you get them saying right none of my niggas fighting on trial trying to figure out how we is I should real because okay, yo jaybo they tried to do him a seven year plea deal He said nah and I'm taking it to trial then he decided nah actually I'm gonna take a plea deal so we don't know What time he ended up accepting but when we just talk to him on FaceTime we tell you he said I'm gonna be home in a year or two basically. I'm gonna be back. Yeah, he's like you know He's got another my confidence Let put it like they all time stamp on it. Yeah, we're gonna be back. That's all that matter You know what I'm saying he gonna be back better than he left Promising they're going to know he got shit. He got shit, but yeah, fault When I thought don't you give me start watching you got plans blueprints. It's niggas not for the play when he come on Okay, Swamp story said and I think it's true. He said with jaybo got his case It's stopped the progression of California street music in general that the the wave that was coming forward it just So then is it safe to say it's gonna start with him? I Mean if you get back out if he got back out right now, I do think that it would produce a Shill of the new energy in terms of like street music in general for show Watch yeah, I you see I've already wanted you know since you see that Yeah, you know I'm glad you got the time you don't see him what he told you this year the government's coming I'm saying so make sure you ready for that too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's just crazy to think that If he were if he were to get out because like you think about he was locked up for a long-ass time And then he got out for whatever like six months or something shit Turned up so crazy Mm-hmm and really had a wave gone before he even got out because they had a whole bunch of videos and singles ready to go and then Was killing it the whole time he's out then boom he gets this case and just kind of Stopped the momentum all over come that shit though. Yeah, I'm where you go over come that shit You think he's like he's the chosen one for California it's like all you know what time it is for him. He gonna do his thing. He gonna make it count for sure I mean that that's like a good Narrative right there is like that it it takes like a soldier from this remote town of Stockton to come and like save L.A. Street music and and What them soldiers or or the murals or then people that have the support main 90% of the support system behind them What do they got a 90% of the commodity or the city or the neighborhood that knows about the heroes? They have a support system you know I'm saying or a city that loves when they come out you know I'm saying or a team that's gonna make sure they go all the way with them as long as we keep my nigga with that He ain't going up on doing he got to do he know he got to do you know what he got to do No, thanks. We just keep supporting mine again. Let me see in the game going nowhere It's gonna be right here when you come on with more work put in yeah Because I'm on a lot of you like when he was having that whole wave that was the first California rapper that when I'm around all these Chicago drill rappers and shit like that. Mm-hmm
They would be mentioning him like every time somebody like Q 50 like, Yo, what's up with a J-bow dude? It's crazy, blah, blah. And I would just be like, damn, that's crazy. Like that hasn't really happened to me where like with them to the hip Chicago rappers are tapped in on the L.A. rapper. That just like that was kind of that was new. - Yeah, sure. - It's just kind of like, we know what it is. We know what it is, we know what it is. It's just true. - Hmm. (laughs) Yo, some of the stories is getting his teeth white and so he cares respond right now. That's hilarious. - That's what he was calling? - Yeah, I tried to call him and he'd say, tell him, tell him how we are here. He going to be snagging, he going to be shy. - Yeah, just sent him in the picture. - Be a, he's switching his numbers and shit. He's like a real rapper. All right, yo, what's the difference between like California and between L.A. and Compton? Like is there like a stylistic difference or is it all the same from your perspective? - It's L.A. and it's Compton. Those who need another difference and other difference. It's L.A. and it's Compton. That's what I'm gonna say. - Sure. - Can you see somebody and just know if they're from Compton? Like is there a thing? - I'm going to see somebody and go know if they're from Compton or whatever. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna try to guess. And I ain't no see. - Oh, you just ask. - Yeah, I'm gonna go see. - I feel like you can tell what it is from Long Beach. - You can tell, you can kind of tell when someone's from, over there from the, you know, who's certain shit that appear obviously. It's part of your pants. It's that appear obviously. - Oh, that's two and stuff. That's cheating on. - But more at least, Nia gonna go see. - Well, I'm a little. - Swarmstore said that yours goat. He just said my goat. - He is right on. I'm taking my flowers. You know what I mean? It's better than what that does to you. I mean, I just did my work done. - So Nia got a big shit big, bro. For sure, I'm trying to make this shit big. You know, alongside of my real, my real supporters, you know, my insurface ain't be bushing, playing whatever, man. If you are this right on, but Nia, my people, I gotta really be that. That's what I wanna be to them. The ones that know where I started. Nobody should look like when I was wanting to sing close every day to where it is now. I think I dedicated it. And the last thing I'm worried about is what. Another man thinking me. It's apathy on me, man. He said, I hope he doesn't think I'm gay. I keep calling him Callie's most handsome rapper. - Yeah, no. Close the mess. You keep looking at the phone. You see? (laughs) - Oh yeah. He wrote it like a poem too, like two separate lines. I hope he doesn't think I'm gay. Like you're out of poem. Like you didn't know. You put that in the air. Damn. I didn't know that that was the, I mean. You want the girls to think that, but you don't really want the bloggers. Like what is that? - No disrespect to the communities out there. - No diddy. - Women. You got a girlfriend? - You asked that question like that was going, wow, me, wait a minute. - It just like, me. - It's immediately occurred to me that like, I don't really know what kind of guy you are. Cause I don't know if you're the kind of guy that has a girlfriend or not. - Great. - And I ain't doing the girl for them. I'm a man. So I'm going to have a woman. - Wife on me. - Oh okay. - And I'm sending my stable. So a woman in my stable. - Okay. - You're going to be no girlfriend. - Cause it's like, if you're single, then by definition, there's like an element of chaos in your life, you know? Because these hoses will have shit going wacky. - Yes, they are like with, with, with, with. When you really trying to do some shit out here, it's certain shit you can have and can't have time to be worried about. If they're making it yourself a worry when it comes to dealing with other people, you get them saying, and this, I stay focused. Let's say that. I stay focused. I stay focused. - Okay. - I'm hands on too. And I ain't like, I know what I could do to get what I need to get there, out the streets. So, other than that, this music is shit. I love to do. It's going to, don't pay off. - Yeah, sure. It's going to pay off. - Do you, you just smoke weed? You drink, you party? - Hell no, party. I know I don't drink neither. I hate drinking. Shit. - I'm just trying to figure out what type of time. - I smoke weed though. - Just weed. - Yeah, I keep my weed. Got that in my weed. - Yeah. - I don't do no party. - Party and shit. - And I definitely don't drink though. I can't, I don't like the drinking shit that ain't me. - No, okay. - No lean. - Yeah. - Want some of the blue? - And what's in the blue? - Yeah, that's real though. - That is the way that you should explain. - I also dare and make it see how I'm just, I'm my house. No, I'm a fucker when I feel like it. - Like I heard real the younger geez say like me and Peezy drink the most lean or something shit the other day. And I'm like, man, you don't want to drink the most lean. Like you could drink lean once a while, but you don't want to be the dude to drink the most. - That's for me, that's a joke that when I'm feeling away, it's one of my choosing and it's in my category of likings.

I did it big off my first album. It was really full of people that I wanted to work with. I was surprised that they wasn't working with me and something to hold me to other than that. This album that's coming out on July 24th, I want to set me out from the rest of everyone else that's been dropping and show what I've been trying to do, show what I've been going through. One thing about it is I've only been showing 10% of this shit. I'm feeling sure. Full of 700%. Give me the whole thing now. I'm feeling sorry for capturing it every moment. I've been playing with this shit. I was being around the bush, but I was going to fight in this case. My knees had just got taken away. This thing's gone, that I'm going to. My family house was in for under four closures. So I had to make sure she was right with my family and got to get there. My head wasn't no money. I could fix anything with them standing where they could stay. They had to go get them there and she had to be moved quick on top of me. Me and Uncle and I can't really move from nobody. I didn't even keep going. It was just how the shit you get them saying. So it had me a little bit off. But I'm back. Get them saying I'm woke. Get them saying I'm not playing. And I'm doing more shit like this so that people can get to know me. They got their home and they see their eyes and it's a substance that is off. And the other thing you sit there and watch the nigga do it. Smokes from me. Get them saying people don't know me. So people think you're on drugs because your eyes are big. It's the shit I done seen. I'm saying it's that I love dark too. It's real. You get them saying it's real when you don't speak and tell nobody this shit. It got to go somewhere. Right. So the eyes just got where it comes on it. I feel like I have really big eyes, but then I'm always smoothing weed. So then I feel like my eyes are low. And once in a while, like I remember one time I went to a party in this famous EDM DJ like called me over. And he's like, what do you want? He's like, I need some. I'm like, I'm not on anything. I just didn't because I was sick. I just got over a cold. And so I wasn't smoking weed. So my eyes were so big that he just thought that I was on something. Yeah. You good now? That was a long time ago. Just right you back. I'm good. No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm glad you're good. But it's a show. All right. So yeah, tell them what your mission is. Oh, man. Check it out, man. I'm dropping July 24th. That's also my CD. I turned 23 years old. Get them saying, I got a milestone for every year. My last year was before anything was starting to wrap shit and making it go. Then I called my deal. And this year was making shows that my album got done and beat my case and actually saved it my money when I got the money. That was going to be my milestone. And now my 23 year old birthday gift to myself is getting no jumper done and exonat off my list. The show and keeping going. The show this song is a start, man. It's going to start.
