Fact to come to the line, and we gotta sit with master P and do a real big like the fans won't that the people want that, But for now we thank you for your presence.

Definitely appreciate being here with y'all.

It's a lot of love in here. And it's about our culture for sure. I think it's teaching our culture, giving them that game, teaching that hustle, how to do this legit. We've been doing this over thirty years. Go there, blessed us, and you know, I just I want to stop sending our young people to prison and start sting sending them to college. And so I tell you all the time, we invest ten to twenty the life, but we want the best three four years to go to college up two or three years to create.

A business and build a brain facts, you know.

And in the crazy part about it, we afraid to fight and stand up for what we believe in. And so think about it, right, So when you talk about product, y'all see what I've been going through. But our people be so afraid to go. We'll kill each other to take risks. But we're going to even express ourselves to these major companies on what they're doing us wrong.

So think about it, right, we just don't do it. We're afraid.

We're like, oh, well, they might not sponsor us, so they might not do this for so I can't say the truth.

Sometimes you got to be express the truth in love with that With.

That being said, and with you having that understanding.

How did that affect your approach on the ownership of your businesses?

I mean, you know what I mean, I just go against the grain. I've been doing that forever. Like I don't sit around and think about it. I just like I got to do my point. Motherly King fought civil rights, right, I'm fighting for oh oh, financial freedom. So the only way we could bridge the well gap, we got to own some things. We have to create some products in brain fact, so you know I created give me that oatmeal, cuse I created.

When you pulled me.

Conglomerate.

Now, think about you got logs and all these comings come.

You can't have Miller's family fact and so.

What a what all kind of foods? You got a butler log.

Man, I got all kinds of.

Stuff like what you got?

You tell you I got breakfast, So I ain't whatever you think that that same pencil. We buy oatmeal from them right in the same factors why we can't buy it from.

Us the same thing, That's what I'm saying.

But data, because we know, we know taste.

Just put a little spin on it.

Yeah right here, alf for a cinema, that's what that's that's.

The ship that we had the Nigga rid to make it at home back in the day. Yeah, but you're coming with the whole.

But are we willing to buy from us facts?

See?

Another thing too is knowledge because we have to let us know that we are selling it.

Well, guess what, we don't know that because when you look at Antie Mima and Uncle Ben, right, we thought we owned those companies.

Yeah to the store getting that Anti.

Mama, Yeah yeah, how we realized that.

These were just models that were just fronts.

Yeah yeah, And so now now we have real people that own products that look like us, we have to.

Change what's the struggles and trying to like cut into them to to that like and it's.

All about shelving space.

So they don't want to see us that with the right shelving space because they know that we're gonna blossom.

And so think about it.

Right now, if we had the right shelving space, then we can control the.

Market ship where they wanted, like I level you want your ship, I lovel in the store?

Right, shelving space is like product placement, yes, okay.

And think about it.

That's why we buy stuff when when we go into these stores because we.

Can see it.

And that's why they put like candy and ship like right at the register before.

You check out so you'll see it.

And so that's some of the things.

We just got to keep growing, got to keep educating ourself and the culture. And I'm gonna educate the ones that want it, not the ones that don't want to be Like, man, you're selling old mill.

What you mean?

You know how many multi billion dollar companies that do this. So we would rather stand on a cone and kill each other and try to like no, man, we got to deprogram our minds. And so That's what I'm on right now, trying to show these youngsters that y'all can do this while y'all young, there's no age limit on it.

Like, let's start owning our own brands.

I was telling somebody that earlier to day that Lord of Atone they got they their whole thing from.

An African tribe. So look that up.

When you look at little thank you buying and think about those bags that they're selling us, it's canvas. So think about you thank you buying a leather expensive bag. No, that's canvas. And so we have to change that mindset. Knowing that we could do this too. Facts, Yeah, we got to be more than just consumers. We spend trillions of dollars, but none of us are producers.

And so were changing that narrative. And that's what it's about today. How make you feel just seeing the South? Because you kind of like the South was buzzing, but you kind of took it to a place where it's just been up ever since. Like when you sit back and you just watching it and you're just looking at TV and the money being made and everything that's happening in the South, How make you feel?

Man?

I love it?

That we had that opportunity, and it's just a blessing. I get on my knees and thank God every day that, you know what, I could be a part of this, and it's something that I believed in our culture. So I believe in our culture saying that we could do this. So I had to fight. And the music is I came from the independent side, right, so I had to

It's a blessing, that's what this is. So yeah, I appreciate y'all, appreciate you.

Bro, made me ready to tackle whatever I gotta tackle. You feel me your stomach connected to your brain. I always remember that when your mind cloudy, probably your good health cloudy.

So you know I'm always conscious of that.

Feel me.

I ain't gonna lie too for when.

I came out there, man, man, I laid something down.

I'm talking about laid something down.

So so you you uh you weren't having sex or nothing.

No, I don't want to have a six you just you just what I was just looking at biking up. I was a Viking, just knowing when when my time came, I was gonna shine on something.

But make sure you're taking time.

To flush you feel that's the most important part.

Yeah, detox and this ship.

Then what that is the fast on one day, that's the detox. Okay, raw alkaline food because this is gonna have you ship.

Flushing ship, y'all. Don't feel like you got to detox from other ship too though, Like the phone and social media and all the other bullshit that kind of fuck with us man.

Here, Yeah, I be on it too.

Sometimes I don't even sleep by my phone. Sometimes I cut my phone off, feel me because I think a lot of people seeking validation. But you know what I'm saying, So being being away from that atmosphere.

Is always good.

Yeah.

It's like you always gotta fight for some. I always gotta food some when you hit the media. But you know, when you face to face in the mirror, man, in the mirror, when you're looking at it, like fucking fight for a nigga.

Overcame big, feel me, So overcame a lot of shit. I don't need validation.

You think it's impossible to like find a real relationship like that.

You popping bro is impossible, man, only fun Listen, man, it's impossible because because if it ain't.

Hurt, it's gonna be me. If it ain't hug, I'm a black motherfucking don't fuck with me.

For some I always think so you think you're going So you think that because of your status and because of where you are, even if it's not the girl's fault, you're kind of like self sabotaging because you're a situation.

All my life.

I think I think I self sabotage a lot of stuff because of past ship and I think trumpa I think that's what we do a lot of times. But I don't think it's no wrong with it because it's also like a defense type thing. But if it's ment, it's gonna always keep and stick around and stay around and just beat her. So you know one day you dann her give in. You feel me, it's just one day you will give in.

But I always got to keep that mojo on me because I can't. I can't let that go out down.

My mama.

Twenty four Big Fans line continues in the Trapping.

The streets exactly.

It's big fat don't capitch Big Fasci line from the BT Awards twenty twenty four.

We are here.

What's I ain't even here for real?

I got zippers the time you had me some ship I ain't want to talk about.

You're gonna see a.

Secure the bad.

Man.

What you been on? Man?

Honestly?

Man, just trying to finish his album.

You know, the hardest journey I've ever taken in my damn life. Man, trying to finish this Beautiful Pain album.

Man?

Oh god, So on the album?

Are you talking about, like any of your current events?

Oh? Yeah, Beautiful Pain is about my divorce.

It's about, you know, the beauty that I've discovered in my pain, all of the stuff that men are uncomfortable with talking about. Women could break up, get cheated on, divorce, go through some some fuckery, and through a whole album about it, and the world is.

Ready embracing it.

Yeah, whole arena is full of it.

Yeah.

Sing the Beatdown anthem of the New Beatdown Anthem of all Man.

Yeah, it comes to us as men.

You know, it's sad that we don't we don't feel comfortable with talking to each other about real shit that's on our mind, let alone releasing a song about it because we get put you weak, you know, man up.

And all of that.

You know.

I was recently having a conversation with somebody who did a short film and I was just wondering if it was something he wanted me to produce it be a part of it.

I was like, Ah, what is it about?

And he said, well, the short film is about It's called I'm Okay or I'm Good.

Which is our favorite thing to say.

Yeah, right, But it's about him and his wife having a miscarriage and every call that comes in and everybody that comes to the house, they're all coming to check on the woman. Yeah, and he's sitting there fucked up the whole time, and nobody cares to notice. So I feel like when it comes to this for paying album, it's not a crimeme a river.

Type of thing.

It's just like we feel these feelings for sure, and my whole and I got questions, you know, like all of my most of my songs titles have questions like when was it over for you?

Mm hmm, because it's.

Never over when they filed for divorce. It's never over when they file for divorce. The light switch went off in your head and something was said for the argue.

About some moment happened.

The light switch was out and you was waiting on the opportunity to file.

So it's just you know, I just got questions.

And you think divorce is healthy, healthy, like if it comes to that point or are you until death do its part? Believe? Like what what do you think?

Well, first of all, women are married. We're not ready to get married since junior high. It's us is man, we dirt digglas.

We want to go out and dig for gold for twenty thirty forty years then finally look at love and stability.

We're never ready.

So when we finally love and we finally say I'm here, that's why you see us crying at the altar.

Yeah, cause I'm really doing it.

It's it's taking me a long time to ever psych myself up to finally do it. And women are looking at us while we crying like what the fuck nigga?

You like it is going on? It is real.

When we finally go it's normally we didne got all the goofy shit out of our system.

Well a lot of us can't speak for.

All, but you know, I'm ready to really shuttle down and really do this thing for real.

So yeah, man.

I was faithful five years, first time ever being faithful, no verbal abuse.

Them be always always be the one to go left when a nigga do right though, Yeah that's shit, that shit crazy man, that shit crazy bro. So what do a nigga do?

What?

What's going forward?

You wake up the way I did, to an empty house with a one year old that got taken away, and your heart is broken into any bitty pieces. You're pulling out your human calculator trying to add it all up, and uh, you just end up, in my case, looking for an outlet so you don't fucking do anything stupid to yourself.

So music, music saved my life again.

I've never been suicidal, but really some dark places that you can slip into from just trying to understand what you don't understand about how we got yet was So was.

The music for you?

Your way to express yourself without having to be concerned about talking to someone that may or may not have an opinion about what you were talking about.

At everything, I know that mental health awareness seems to be, you know, very popular. I've been in therapy since I was eight, so it was just it was it's been making It's made me proud to see that the shame and the embarrassment of mental health, especially when it comes to men, has been moved over.

It's like, yo, man, I'm fucked up.

I got anxiety, I'm depressed, I'm this I'm still triggered from things that I seen and heard or experienced as a child. And even though I'm grown with a beard, I'm still fucked up and I'm feeling it.

So we've normalized that dialogue.

But for me, I'm one of those people that I believe in allowing myself to feel everything.

I don't smoke it away, drink it away. I don't like party it away.

Those are calculated distractions.

That do work.

But at the end of the day, suppressing that weed is gone. Now you back to them saying thoughts, and the weed take you out of those though.

I don't smoke. When you drink it away, I'm drunk out your.

Mind, and then as soon as you sober up, you'd be like, oh shit, I'm digging about it again.

Yeah, So I believe.

And if there was a traumatic accident that happened on that corner and you can't stop thinking about it, get back to the corner four months later and stand there nothing about the environment that's going to be the same. So now you could reimagine this same corner that traumatized you. I still live in the same house I got married in and I'm not leaving because being there has been a part of my healing journey.

Yeah, all of this game and all this insight is that specifically just going to be on an album where you think you might put it in the form of a book or something else, just to help out.

The album is a six part documentary for the making of the album. The album is a book called Blackmail of the Blackmail about the family Little Court System and.

Yes, okay black Mail Love the black Mail. Yeah, and then.

Beautiful Pain is a double vinyl double album. It's the first album I've ever done that's live and David Foster produced my next single, So that's gonna be the one we drop that God willing is gonna take us to number two, number one and ride that wave into the release of the album August thirtieth. August thirtieth, double album, CD, book, six part documentary, and a film called nineteen ninety two, all dropping on one day.

Oh Wow, fish Flood, I'm purging.

Yeah, Yes, yeah, it's time for that though. Yeah, it's time for that though, because your fans have been waiting for a minute.

How you hear it from the ship?

Now?

Yeah?

How do you hear from it?

That's everything I've been speaking on has been all a part of my process of healing. I don't think we'll ever get to a place where it's like I have healed, just like completely behind because at the end of the day, even five years after I healed, you had the right conversation, You'll be at the dinner.

You know.

They always my therapist said, you can't be be triggered by triggers that don't exist.

Yeah, you know.

So the journey it's never ended.

You know.

When you could imagine yourself being in something for the rest of your life and it just goes away, it's a motherfucker.

You gotta proceed. But like, man, that was my cousin.

I talked to that nigga ten times a day and then he just got killed at the gas station.

You never heal from them, yeah, ever, and that didn't happen to me.

I'm just giving it exactly.

Never hear from this ship, never heal from that.

It's like, you know, I'm good.

I'm not good unless I talk to him again, let's I see him again, unless I laugh about the shit that only we used to laugh about. You could be in all the therapy you want, but none of that's gonna ever replace that intimatey, you know, reaction and vibe and energy that you got from.

That brother that you love.

So you know, I just praised God that I could still laugh and shit, that's funny.

I praise God that I've been.

Used to bring these type of uncomfortable conversations and dialogues to the forefront. And I've been pride of all the women that's been supporting my music, you know what I mean, Like damn. You know, this is a tough topic. You know, they say women aren't accountable. So when you try and say that she did it, even if she did do it, we so used to it being the man fault.

Women don't know how to.

Deal with a record about it actually being their fault.

But women have been supported.

There's been a lot of women out have been raised by fucked up mamas and been the reason that a marriage or relationship actually ended.

It ain't always the man's vault. So they've been very.

Supportive and I'm grateful, but beautiful Pain is coming double album, twenty songs total, and you can get it exclusively on tyrese dot Tv.

I'm independent at the Independent.

Man.

Look, you know I had to treat myself.

Man.

Usually I saved my money, but graduation prom I had to go up a little bit.

You know.

I love Detroit Kultuer.

I love.

It's only right.

Appears and your friends felt about seeing you on that kindrick stage.

I mean everybody was excited.

Everybody always like it was in your hood type ship right like bro like right there, Yeah.

You know what I'm saying. Inglewood, California.

So I think when it's you're from Inglewood, like that's like the biggest stage, bro, like so far over there now like new but like growing up Inglewood.

That's like, that's where you want to be.

The form that was like the Mama I made it, not for sure.

And it's like bringing you out too, like it's only right, that's all. I think that's one of the biggest moments in LA history for sure. It ain't been nothing like that in a minute. I don't think it ever really has not. Yeah, it never really been. It's never been anything like that. So I guess that would be the biggest for me in my lifetime.

Yeah, I can't speak for the eighties, but like like.

In my life, yeah, the biggest.

What you think, uh what you what you think will come of it? You think people go go make more pieces.

I think it's gonna add to the like momentum. But I don't think it like it doesn't like blow It doesn't like blow up the West Coast.

I don't think right.

I don't think it's like, oh the West Coast Now we're just no, no, no, no no.

My mindset with it.

Is like I'm gonna take that like I'm allowed that show boom, take advantage of that opportunity, and then it's like use that momentum to continue, though not think like okay, right, That's what I'm saying. Like most people will be satisfied like oh, Ken did it for us? No, but like okay, like yeah, you have the exposure for that day that week, but after that then what me, I'm gonna keep producing them working hard.

Ship.

You feel like now you know what I'm saying, getting past the school stuff and graduation, you can really go full throat on do everything you need to do it as an artist.

Now for sure.

I used to have to fly in and like shake quick, Like I used to fly in just for the club and leave.

But then it's like old Skiller's in town.

He's just flying in the next day, though I'm missing it, like our school having to go in the test, not being prepared for the test because.

That, Like you could do whatever you want to do. It's up to you. Like within the industry, once you own, you just gotta make it shake. Like wherever lane you want to go, anything is yours because you're building it up, like you're the business, like doing no babies my business, and all I have to do is build that up as the public figure, and I could do anything like Lebron James could sell anything right now.

Lebron can do plates. It's gonna.

Black owned business. I so really just knowing like I'm the business. I gotta build me up and do what I'm supposed to do, and only me can mess me up.

Actually my birthday Wednesday, I'm releasing the remix a Trader Troop and the visa that Ja Colepop with my actual adverse were doing that and then trading July nineteenth through the twenty second on the radio. Yet Nah, it's been fifteen years, bro, but you real, I ain't gonna cry about it. We're gonna make it happen. You know, years arose the world.

That's crazy, that's crazy.

But the thing is, it would be real crazy if I use the energy to cry about it. It's like man, once I faded the first couple of years and the rest was a cakewalkers. They stripped me everything I could be stripped. At that point, I rebuilt and adapted. You know, think about it, just any of us from from any any hood, any city. We lose everything we got ship were gonna feel a way to bounce back.

But you see some niggas up and then you see them lose everything. Then you see them back up again in another way.

But I'm just saying I don't even remember what happened at this point though.

From me, all I did is call them out that fat ass, but they would dispecting me that. I don't think that was that band, not for what they did. But you gotta realized I couldn't do shows, I couldn't get.

Recorded, nothing physical happening, Yeah I ain't. Nothing physical happened then it wasn't nothing. That's crazy. But you're here, lasted them and ain't bigger than me, right now? That's what you know?

Yeah?

Yeah, and you know in the form of just being now, what can they really do? Because you know I'm I'm the people's champ.

Yeah, now, like what can you really do it?

You know?

Yeah, I want to ask you what you think solidified you like it made you like what you know what I'm saying, Cause I don't think it's like no no call, you can't make you know what I'm saying, niggas gonna pick up for trade like what you think makes solidified you.

I don't know, man, It depends on what you're talking about. You're talking about it as a whole in the music industry. In the music industry, just relationships. You gotta think, bro like people don't know the history. That's just just being transparent. Me and you we before it was even a thought of this ship that was in the early early two thousand. It's my brother, like it ain't even know it ain't even about the music. Then the same a folk Scream even got to doing. He was just doing mixtapes at

It be real relationships.

Then the thing when he is the longevity man, like when you see a rob them, come on, I'm one of the first ones that embrace them before they even jump. Where you go to see in the in the elite chopper, like he used to be a trade days before people just new yes what I remember and the action was because I love his family and mama and everything, and where we was. I forgot where we was at and I just had to put them the sign and talk to him and tell him like, hey man, it's time

Somebody figure out something like.

What's the key to let long?

I think with me just being authentic, the thing with me, they know they get what they get. I'm gonna speak my mind at all times and they know, man naturally, I just got it hard. I'm always gonna be there to help however I can. But they know behind closed door, I'm still gonna be that stand up nigga with them even when they ain't in the room. And if somebody doing something, I'm still gonna be the one to speak up.

Right, You've still been doing a lot of the community efforts, like helping the city.

I was just cutting trees, getting my ass whooped by tree and wing and everything.

But the crazy shit is this hurricane. See it's about to get.

Man, So y'all cut the trees down before they follow us.

Bout the house and cars n they was already on. They was both before and if they owned the house or the car. Like people came. We gotta figure it out. You gotta think that I don't know how to use no salt. We just we adapt and figured it out and we made it work.

Yeah, what year you think it would cut you out to?

Now you're good?

What year you think it was where your mind shift?

Like?

The thing is, I don't think it never shifted bank. The crazy thing is it just got magnified. My heart always been the same. Yeah, I was I was at at home. I was looking at my first award for and you only get awards we've been doing it for a while, so imagine my first award I received was ninety eight ninety nine from the City hoston, so imagine how far back that is. But I think the time it got magnified was when Harvey hit Houston.

Yeah for real, man, Yeah, So.

Now you got people across the world that don't know who trade is, Like, who is this all we need to be tapped in?

So I think from there it's what people be like thinking that.

That's just when I just started not knowing I've been doing it, but that's when they got magnified.

Mm hmm.

What's something? What's some What's something they're still on your list of that you just want to accomplish. It's trade, you know what I'm saying. It's accomplished as you are. But it's just like, man, this is the one thing I'm trying to Man, I'm accomplishing a lot. Bro Uh, I don't know.

I just want to stay at it. I don't think I'm tapping out more time soon and being in the music or the community.

I'm working on trying to build my own emergency children shelters so we can protect the kids.

I'm really pretty sure at some.

Point I'm gonna have my own school. I'm just you know, I just be.

We feeling victorious in these streets, Yes, sir, happy to be here though. Man, you know, BT is always a good time for a little reunion with all our people. So for sure that's the best part to me, just reconnecting and you know, tapping in with my folk.

So for some of the people that aren't familiar with the plethora of things that you've done, drop some of your accolades so people can know, like, who the who the ef you really are?

Yes, listen, So I'm a writer for myself and others. You know what I'm saying. You might have heard some of my albums. You got drive By, you got Go which was some of my records that we got, and yeah, this joints with you know, yes, yes, you got Chris Brown. Yes, yes, recent work that joint Psychic with Jack Harlowe.

Yes, yes, you know justin Bieber stop being modest.

That was the one.

If you know that one you feel in the situation.

Yes, it's good all the time, all the time.

You gotta finish it.

Yeah, you're looking for like with like the BT award, come to the city, what's like, what's the ship to be looking forward to?

Yeah, you know I think yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I think when we when we do those those carpets, you know, you get to see everybody in their best fits.

It was a hit or miss.

You see people being clever, You see people taking chances with this fashion and the style on the carpet, which is dope performances. You know, we've been listening to these songs, these the hottest songs, the biggest records that made the most impact. So to see them on stage, like go ahead, you had a joint, Now let me see you on stage and might celebrate them together.

That's always a vibe for.

Sure, right absolutely, what you think like personally, like your your sound and your flavor, like means to the town of like La, Like what's distinct distinctively? Like what do you think you brought to l A That?

Yeah, I think it's it's been an evolution of R and B. You know what I'm saying, my dog, you know, yes, sir, you feel me. So R and B is something that's just rooted in me from the music that I listened to and study, went to church all my life, so I got a gospel so crown with the music too. But it got the edge on it that we need to stay in the club you know what I mean. I tuned in to the to the new artists, to the current artists, and I'm also.

Tapped in to the past.

So I think just rolling it all up gives it a classic field that's always relevant and urgent.

When you when you hear the name, when you hear the name like Nate Dogg, you know what I'm saying, because when I first heard your stuff, it was kind of like that flavor like Yesh Street, you know what I'm saying, R and B. But you hear name like Nate, what does that mean?

Oh man, that's somebody who I think I studied when it comes to coming up with hooks, you know, because that was the balance for me to try to give us street edge like rap, but mix it with some soul.

You know.

So Nate Dogg and especially tied.

Out sign too like me and came up it both was big fans, you know what I mean of everything Nate. I remember having a conversation about them, and you know, that's one thing we definitely got in common.

Just I think, you know, to say, who Nate dog is, you know what I mean, A real pioneer for.

The master of the melody.

Yeah, you know, yeah, blast, you know, and.

Like you know, a lot of people when when you think that Edgy, R and B still cool, not too much.

All the rappers is calling they though, especially over here.

Now I'm gonna have an unpopular opinion about this, But we just talk about shit on bit fast as we do. Let's talk a little Los Angeles Lakers. Talk how you feel about the bron and Bronnie things. So we know now Bronnie got drafted to the Lakers to play with his pops, But how do you feel about that?

You know me, man, I'm for the family.

I'm here with open arms saying congratulations, Broannie.

Like I was able to watch the.

Entire growth of you know what I'm saying, like him putting the time in, putting the work in, and you know, I see a lot of people just trying to bash him. I feel like so crazy, but I'm just like I'm excited about it, and I just I just think the world is some haters.

Bro.

For me, it ain't a bad I just think that you don't think that he's gonna be kind of you just putting yourself in pop shutdown.

I mean, you want to play overseas.

Playing the NBA you're playing with your pops every day. You don't think you handicapping them a little bit, not letting them get out there.

And I hope so, but I just I feel like I feel like another thing too with that. I feel totally what you're saying, but it's just like at the end of the day, also, I feel like it was safer for him to go play underbrun at the Lakers because if he had gone somewhere like and try to step out on his own, I just I feel like it could have been all types of like politics involved

Yeah, that's that's what dad, take your son.

Because at the end of the day, I would give it them who we name then baby say they played with their son.

Yeah no, it's historical the same, it's history.

I would have wanted to do that over everything, right.

Oh for sure, that's the play. I was hoping that it happened, you know what I mean. I was waiting for the job.

I was hoping, you know, having conversations with he give me yet did he get you know?

Because aside from basketball alone, you know what I mean, like we need to see ship like that.

Yeah, general for.

The culture because that's an example we never seen before. And I have seen a lot of people saying like, all right now can we say Lebron is the go now? Can we you know, has Jordan every day or has any It's like Lebron is taking it to another level every day.

We keep seeing it.

So we can't have the conversation until he steps off the court because he's start going thanks.

I gotta respect that. Gotta respect that.

Sorry my boy?

All right, yeah right, he pushing through.

Man.

I wouldn't even like I missed the first three interviews.

You know what I'm saying.

You know how you know how that goes, you know, yeah, it's just like fuck all that were going up. It's a start, you know, it's a great start. It's off to a great start because so many more people embracing that togetherness, you know what.

I'm saying, like the good Outweigh and a bad.

Have I seen everybody perform?

From Little Baby Nigga, everybody mother who else performed? Like man, it was people I ain't even know who. It's from Atlanta. Like, you know what I'm saying, I ain't never seen nothing like that. Out here seen that there, Like you know what I mean. So the fact that we got that going on down here is just like it's just like flashing my face, Like damn. We could really like change

Oh no, you better you know what I'm saying.

It's gonna takes the time. It's gonna take the time. Tour crazy all us on the road like that. It's just to a California first, Like, yeah, I feel like it could happen.

I feel like it's.

Feel like me personally, I feel like it was about twenty of us though that with just like with what Kendrick did, that show was that show served its purpose and did what it did and from there, like I feel like building from there would make sense or whatever, but trying to duplicate that, Yeah, it can't. It can't be done any Nah.

That was like that was a historical moment for the city.

So it's everybody bracing the Kendrick from out here. Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, like nobody, everybody. I'm saying, like nobody ain't saying like nah, he wrong with everybody.

When that made me like that made me go back and like listen to her other ship and like it's hard me into a fan.

I ain't even gonna lie, like I don't know, like dicked out ship or nothing like that.

But she's she's crazy. She'd be going nuts, like more so than a lot of these niggas now, like for real, for real, like what.

You were doing before you before you doing memes with what you're doing?

Uh, you know, I was outside of I was, you know, I was, I was around. I used to play sports though, like growing up as a kid, of course I played sports. I'm like a downtown West End kind. I grew up in the downtown Western and Cincinnati, so it was like, you know, I experienced a lot.

I wouldn't still lied, Okay, yeah yea, yeah yeah that way.

So do you put that? That's what that's what's in your moment music of.

Course, like Peo would be like probably thinking listening to me, like damn, I she doing that? Like bro, when you see what you can't you know put.

To and two together.

But I know your city with you though, right repent Ship too, It's.

Like I feel like the city like they happy that I'm the face like you know, because I'm really a genuine person too, Like outside of music, like I really like that mad respect, I get mad love like yeah, like it ain't like I'm just all perfect, Like, ain't nobody gonna be like, oh I dislike her? And then they could because you got your opinion. If you might not like the music, you might do. But like it's like on a respect level, like people love and respect.

Me for sure, for sure you deserve that. What's you're saying, Gemini?

Okay, I know that came, bro. I'm telling you a long way. Bro, she's saying too much. Other ship June nineteen.

Dang, that's my mama's birthday.

That's praise. Yeah, they crazy.

I'm a May twenty five. I kind of kick it off first, you know, I kick it off.

Yeah, just.

Like second Home. Like when I first ever went out of talent, it was telling us you gotta.

Come come sitting in the studio so you get.

It full story.

I think we were supposed to.

Since you look at an industry, if you could change one thing about what what would it be If you could change one thing in the industry, would you change the beef? That's hard?

Nobody right, that'd be I feel like people should get it. They should be tired of that. Like it's turned like it's cool to do what you do. But it's like it's turned it. Take the fun out of it. Like it's already a competition, you know, make it a friendly competition, keep it cool, cordial, but the beef it get.

Out of hand.

Sometimes I feel like, yeah, it can't. And it's like it's hard to be a role model or an idol and people look up to you. But like you in the industry and you're doing music, but you're killing each other, trying to mess it up. Confused two Like I think it's all ego, pride, pride, prid to do a lot to a lot of people like you gotta Sometimes I'm I'm like, I'm a Gemini. We like very proud for you know, like you got to you gotta just this ship, Like all right, it's cool.

So you think you've grown on some you'll just be like you got it or my bad.

It be moments where I be literally I go through stuff like that. When it's moments where it's just like nah, they can have it, because especially when certain things can lead to you know, certain situations like I'm grown, I'm trying to still be I'm trying to still alive, I'm trying to be here at the end of the day. That's the goal. Like just I feel like life is so short you at least the least I can.

Do is be positive.

I many people uh like stuff, having that entitlement spirit like coming up like now that your ship going, you know, when you start going up, start spending little money on yourself, people going to feel like, bro, you got it. You know what I'm saying, How you deal with it?

Like I feel like I'm a person where I set boundaries alone time ago before I was doing music, Like as a human being. I'm like my friends in filmy, they gonna know what I don't.

Like what I like.

You know, you gotta set you know, It's like you gotta set it the record straight way way. You gotta stet on that as a kid, you know what I'm saying, Like to the point my mama understands me and know like okay, yeah, my daughter. You know, it's like you gotta set boundaries early. So once the music came, it

Like that.

I think. But it be true, though, the ship be true. But niggas be thinking like I guess it's the delivery because whatever I said to you, when you look at it, what I said, it's really the truth. It's just how you feel like I'm coming off.

But like I said, you know it's different and you might just mean it, but there's man fuck you, then that's fuck you. You see what I'm saying, Like the way that you say it, Yeah, you probably mean it like that, but the way that you say fuck you is everything in the way that you say it.

If we if we go somewhere and we're supposed to do a show and you got to like you nerve it and I say, you're acting like a bitch. What else are I supposed to say that you're acting like a bitch. Bro, Like, we tell you the money is right here, let's go out and get the money. I don't calling about all that with you talking about Hell no, bro, ain't really man, you ain't like a bitch nigga take that literally, but that's really should be motivation. You shouldn't want to.

Yeah, you should have actually delivered it a lot more fucking stronger because niggas, But what.

About I agree with you, this is terrapy ship, but what about bro, you acting like a bitch? You better than that.

If I'm saying you acting like doing the right thing, I'm saying you're acting like you got to know it. I'm saying you're trying to be like, take it easy. I'm like, you're acting like a bitch, bro Like you have to feel it.

You know what, they should assume the rest of you, Like you can tell somebody you're.

Acting like a bitch, right, No, no, no, like a bitch.

Let's get it together and you get that money.

But you just added something to that and then you're acting like a bitch, like do I need to leave?

If a niggas acted like a bitch, a nigga know he acted like.

A bitch exactly. I get that.

What I'm saying is like a bitch and walk off. You might say, man, you have like a bitch. We need to get this money.

Nah, do you want to be around a bit nigga?

So really know what I'm saying is.

I know I didn't just say that.

I was just using that as reference. But like I just said, when a niggas acted like a bitch, niggas knows that he's acting like a bitch.

So you gotta are you right like a bitch.

I'm walking off and leaving you.

I'm gonna keep it real.

You sit with that and understand that, but you need to get your shut No.

But get what some nigga don't know they acting like bitch. That's what I'm trying to get a nigga all you down doing some bit ship. You don't see that.

I see that, bro.

You a bit. You just a bitch, But you don't even know what acting like a bitch is?

Yeah, gotta be like that.

Love, Love and Respect t twenty twenty four. You know what it is, Big Spyler, Yeah, Big factspaw dot Com BET Awards twenty twenty four. You know what it is, Big Facts Live. Elijah Blake is here with Big Bank Baby J d J Screen. What's up? What's up? What's the word.

I love to be here with my skin folk.

Man.

There you go.

Yeah, indeed, give yourself the proper introduction.

Man.

We like for people to pop it a little bit. Let alone Elijah Blake.

Indeed, it's your boy, Elijah Blake. You guys might be familiar with you with songs like I put out on my own.

I just want to.

I got this weird call.

I'm not sick. I swear to you, soume, No, let's go.

I'm gonna follow bank.

Song as I put out on my own.

I just want to I've also written songs that you guys might be familiar with Usher's climax No Love Allow for Rihanna enough and no Love for Keishakole Lil Wayne Dui for Sierra Okay, sex thing better than Love I co wrote with my boy Trey.

Yeah, how does that write and go? Like, when you, being an artist like you right could hit for somebody else that you could have kept for yourself. I make you feel.

I love when people say that because now I have the perfect answer. Those songs are never meant for me. With this project, I'm realizing that now at this point of my artistry, like I'm telling stories of my real life, what I really went through, breakups, that I had, things that happened with my parents and my upbringing. So those songs were I'm just blessed to be in the room and help an artist like Usher tell his story in

You know what I mean?

It's an amazing experience. So for me to be etched in his discography like that is just the biggest blessing. And for us to win a Grammy is just unbelieve.

What's the hardest thing about like transitioning from like songwright and then helping others to becoming the artist that you want to.

Be the hardest part for me early on was when I did get my deal as an artist, because I got notoriety as a songwriter first. Even though I was an artist first, I didn't even know I could write songs. I just didn't want nobody telling I'm a Gemini, so I don't never want nobody to So when they would put me in the sessions with like Cheftone, who I love to write my songs, it just never went well.

I was like, I want to tell it this way.

So then that's when people like yo, you could really write songs. So because the world was introduced to me as a songwriter, trying to redirect them like no, I was always doing shows and I'm a church boy.

I grew up singing first.

That was harder than I thought it was going to be because when I look at my favorite artists, they were always singer songwriters. It never separated Lauren Hill, Prince singer songwriter, Stevie Wonders singer songwriter. So in my mind, I never thought I would have to convince the world that those are one and the same.

But that's what it is now though, right they want you to just write songs. They don't want you to you know what I'm saying. They when you, when you be so good at one thing, they be wanting to keep you like marginalized, to put you in the box. Focus on this, because this is what.

You do exactly, this is exactly.

And one thing my pop's telling me is like boxes are made for old clothing and pieces of furniture, that they're not made for people, They're not made for creators. We if actually the people who inspire me, Prince, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, they were constantly breaking.

Out of boxes.

The moment you put Michael in the box, he was breaking out of it. So that's the type of vibe that I'm on with my artistry.

Do you think fans are selfish? Not in not in not in a bad way, But you think that fans can be like this is what we want, damn it, and we want it now.

And I do think this new generation of consumers are a little entitled. I think they look at things that they are like, give us new music, And sometimes I'm like, I just out the project.

Two weeks a day.

Like everything is so fast and the consumption is so fast. And it's like, if you have an artists that you love, support them. Because there's a machine in anything in corporate America, there are checks and balances.

So if you want a new Normani.

Album, if you want a new Chris Brown album, stream it, by it, purchase it. Because therefore, when they go to the label and they say I want to put out another project, the label could say, Okay, this.

Last one did good.

But sometimes you can't just be so entitled.

New music, new music, it costs maybe at least ten thousand dollars to make one song, and per stream you're making zero point zero zero, zero point seventeen cents. You got to make that make sense for the person that's doing it. That's why you're watching a lot of artists who came from that area be like, I'm good, you know what I mean? Because when you go in the studio studio time right, you're probably paying sixty fives seventy an hour. Then you're paying the producer who charges maybe

That's for one song.

So I do think that the consumer can be a little entitled and just saying give me, give me, gimme, gimme. Where you gotta support chartists. You gotta go to their shows. You gotta love on them. Not just the tailor Switch, not the Beyonce's because they're good, they done did that already, but the newer artists. If you want the new generation to really have a chance at being the next Michael's, the next Prince, definitely like appreciate their music in a better way.

If that makes sense.

That's what it is, what's for you.

The album comes out August second, it's called Elijah. It's just simply Elijah, and I made sure that there were no features.

There's a for real.

Record I really wanted to put on an album, but it's just really important.

It's a record with forreal that you said I'm not.

He produced it and he's featured it.

Okay, So yeah, no, no, it's not on an album, but I want to put it in the next I want to build myself up to because Ross gave me a feature early on in my career and I didn't have the proper machine behind it to really take it, and I felt like that was I did a disservice to him because at the time he was charging like what seventy five a feature. He didn't charge me, So that was almost his way of saying, like I see

I'll bring back your features and stuff like that.

Right, we appreciate the conversation. I appreciate you'all having to man with Elijah Blake Love the BT Awards twenty twenty four Big Facts.

Live Lessons King.

Big Facts Line from the BT Awards twenty twenty four. DJ screams here you know what I'm saying. Representing for Team Big Facts. Lavell just sat down to chop it up with me. Welcome to the BT Awards, Welcome to Big Facts.

Stay focused, keep pushing, you know, keep your drive going, and you know, just take every opportunity that you can, you know, because you never know when you're gonna get your break, you know.

And then another thing we've been talking about to day with just different artists is that moment. Those moments are frustration where you might feel like giving up or quitting and like you don't want to do it no more, like how do you personally or what did you personally use as motivation to keep you going?

As level man?

Just just staying true to who I am, staying true to what I believe in, and just knowing that I know I have a place in this. But you know it's all God's timing, you know, so for sure, yeah.

For sure outside of all so, so, do you listen to a lot of hip hop? Not really not really keep it honest, Yeah, but when you do, who are some of your favorites?

Uh?

Can cry about a woman absolutely became so macho at a point whereas yeah, everybody's so Teflon is still and then.

They make our ladies feel like it's okay to accept some of the things that they've been accepting to man. So it's just like just getting back to being held accountable.

You were I don't know if it was one of your shows or if you were just like out in public somewhere, and this gave you some flowers and yeah, at your show, and she gave you some flowers, and it instantly like

So thank you.

I'm big on that ship. Like, yeah, what's up.

I'm telling I'm.

Out.

I've been watching on for a long time real like, yeah, I'm like I walk around cool j Tyree talk.

You know, Yeah, Like I ain't never been in nothing.

Like this, But do you do you feel like you have a rhyme though, Like I'm here now.

I feel like I'm here.

I feel like I got like I'm almost there, like I got something like I'm missing and damn what, I'll figure it out. I'm here, I'm here, but I'm missing something that's gonna take me the icon status style.

I need no time.

This is take a little bit more time.

It's just he's absorbing you.

Yeah you go there, I'm twenty five.

Oh man, you got forever to do this. The game bro you Yeah, so you you gotta know it?

God willing there?

What you out here? Do you go into the walls?

Yeah?

I'm going to awards. I got like bookers and stuff. I'm performing that bt BT experience.

You're doing a game Tomorrow's right, you're at the game, Okay, I'm coming to that.

Yeah, I'm gonna hope tomorrow like that. Yeah, I'm like that for real. Bet your money on me versus any rapper say less, Bet your money on me?

Yeah, chill bro I like that, man.

Yeah.

I try to stay grinded.

What's the shit you have to do every day? Just keep yourself grinding, like you tell yourself.

I just tell myself I'm blessed, and I just think about everything I've been through, Like I think, pick the stuff that I've been through, make me so calm through like anything, Like I haven't been through everything being broke, out, shot, all that type of stuff, you know. So it's like even with that, like you just go through it like you know, like even when traumatic stuff happen to you,

So like I like to experience everything.

I don't want to be telling you you don't do any drugs at all.

No, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do nothing.

For real. That's hard.

You feel.

I mean the people that you have to lose along the way, like friends feeling entitled.

And you know what I'm saying, got them there, everybody.

But I think people be like when something happen on, once you get blessed with the opportunity, people be feeling like you're supposed to over extend.

But yeah, people don't know, Like if it's ten of us sitting right here and I'm doing something small for everybody.

Add up to something big. But people be thinkers for self. If I got four people in prison right now, I take care of but you know, and in prison like he don't know like the other three they ain't at the same prison, so he don't even understand that. When you called for commissary and he called to put something on his phone, and then he called him for something else. He needed Mama bills paid, they ain't think about that. Plus I got ma mama bills.

You know what you could be going through.

You get what you asked for. I pray to be in this position. I'd rather be in a position of people asking me then be in a position where I can't ask me. So, yeah, blessed I got the opportunity I meet icons, they know who I am. Every time I meet somebody I called my mama. Yea yeah, so it's like I'm blessed for real.

Yeah yeah, but.

Okay, So let me ask you this, what is it about you? Or why do you think because I've just noticed, like just from seeing footage from you and you know, vlogs and all that kind of shit, like like I've noticed primarily like a lot, like a lot of kids gravitate to you. And you know, they always say like if kids are pulled to you, then like you have something special, like because kids don't really kids are excellent judges of character and they don't really fuck with people

I know, like I sat in them same seats as them kids, So like, yeah, I try to do like every year I go to like fifty schools in Detroit and just I don't even gotta talk to them. I just coming there and let the kids see me because like I just feel like stuff like that, like if I just if I say one kid, then I did something today, like you, I know, if I come today school or that it's a possibility I come today school.

They might go all year thinking.

Yeah you know it just like that. Yeah, Yeah, that's dope, that's dope.

Appreciate you you. I don't know.

I'm just trying to make I've been doing I've been really I ain't even really been focused on me.

Was that.

I ain't gonna lie.

I've been doing stuff like I'm like one of the youngest black developers and Detroit right now. So I've been like I bought like a whole block. I bought my old house that I stayed in. I've been founding a lot of property stuff like that. Well, musically, I'm just trying to go to the moon, whatever it takes.

Ye.

What's up is going on?

Girl?

I'm good?

How y'all doing wonderful days?

A basis, so you are artist, an a model, but like an official no no disrespect to anybody, but not listen a model that just not like an Instagram model, but an actual model that's done campaigns with.

A lot of people, y'all. Y'all want me to say, just pop a few because I want one of them. I want my ship.

I'll be trying to be too humble.

I gotta I got to pop out of show.

Sometimes you got out. I mean, I don't work with a lot of people by mind time for I had collaborationing. Now y'all work with a lot of people.

You need you need to throw out that out merge forget.

Oh yeah you need to Yeah that is.

I mean.

Yeah.

Yeah, she's like, oh yeah, I had Chail Tom for the girl.

What salute to you?

Thank you?

Really not average? Yes, that's big, that's a huge deal.

But we always like to ask people who who indulged in like different worlds, like what do you enjoy more modeling or the music?

Music for sure?

Music for sure.

Like I'm grateful for the modeling because it it got me past my insecurities. Okay, but the music is where my heart is. Yeah, Like music is where my heart is because I could still just stay modeling, Like I kind of stepped away from modeling so that I could see this and I've been blessed to do both now. But I took oh, thank you, Yeah I did. Yeah, I took a break actually so that I could fully pursue my music. Okay, and now I've been blessed to do both at the same time now.

So and I definitely want to touch on something you just said about the modeling helping you with your insecurities. How big was that in I guess, affording yourself to be able to be a productive artist, because you know, you have to have confidence to get on the stage and perform in front of people.

So how did that kind of help you a lot more to be able to do this.

I mean it did.

It was everything, if I'm being honest, because you you on sets and you shooting in front of sometimes up to fifty plus people, you know, and you are kind of being a puppet for what envision you being. Yeah, so from that that built me up strong enough because I got rejected a lot too throughout the years. So yeah, I mean it's normalst like and it built me up luckily where now if somebody say no it ain't shit, it's like all right, that means something bigger is for me.

Yeah.

I didn't go through that. I wouldn't have had this mindset because this is a different beast I entering music. So yes, she's waving on somebody.

Oh no, no, no, it's all good.

But yeah, it did everything you needed to do hard. Yeah, I can go all my sets and do my do my shit.

That's hard.

That's what it is. What's your most special song? It's more dearly to your heart, like this is the song that represents me, and that's the song that really tells what's really on my heart and.

My mind of my core type.

Shit.

Mmm, that's so hard. I mean to be fair, my first EP is only twenty two minutes. It's the whole EP, the first EP, because it's it's so many layers to me. One minute, while i might be going through it sad, angry about shit that I've been through. Next minute, I'm happy and I'm in love or loving myself whatever, you know. It's it's just it's, you know, it's layers to all of us. So it's hard for me to pick one song right now because I'm a complex woman.

Y'allah.

Yeah, son, Leo, leo, y'all the lion Okay, yeah, Okay, my daddy's said, up, what's your son? I'm a cancer?

Okay, y'all be stressing me all but I love y'all, y'all.

So yeah, you know big facts.

Listeners are very nosy. So it's not that we want to know this, but they don't want to know. It's every Ley single.

Em Riley is very much Yesie Riley is single. I'm chilling right now. I'm a little so my new single where They At is literally where They At? It's so are you looking? I'm I ain't looking, but I'm looking the song, But it really is that it's like I'm I'm open, but I'm not on the quest right now. I'm focused.

I got a lot to do.

But if it finds me, I'm open to it. But I'm about to have fun this summer. But fun, you know, I mean, I'm giving a.

Pusy for fun.

Okay, let's be clear, fun just me for once. I know what I want, so I'm open to it attracting itself to me.

Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna manifest these men.

You know what I'm saying, the good ones. I can't keep manifesting the nasty.

What are good men?

I just want to know because people say that.

You know what is broke. I'm just gonna sit on my right.

I ain't got no, I ain't got here.

Yeah, so I'm gonna let you go president. What's good man?

I mean, a good man to me is a man who is gonna protect me, A man who is emotionally intelligent, that's emotionally responsible.

What's up game and.

The door?

But yeah, that's that's the main part for me. Emotionally responsible, emotionally intelligent. I'm not about to go ahead clowning, but that's the that's the main factors for me.

Yeah, a little bit though, because why because because y'all don't bring the financial thing into play, but you know you care about it.

Yeah, really, because.

Let's be clear, I've been I've been with a rich ass nigga and I've been with street niggas. I've had so it's just like, I'm not saying that it's a deal breaker. It's more about your mindset. It's like, you ain't gotta have it, but you gotta have a mindset to want to go and get it.

You gotta have the ability to be able to achieve that potential.

Yeah, you gotta have a mindset because it's like, if you don't see yourself being bigger than where you are, then we can't. I'm not wasting my time on that. Like I've done it.

I've tried, Yeah, and I feel like with me, like with the financial part of it, a man that lacks financial discipline, meaning doesn't have the ability to consistently maintain and retain the funds, lacks discipline in every other area of life because the financial aspect is a necessity for you to be able to basically maintain your life. So if you can't maintain your life, then you can't maintain me not that I need maintaining to a certain extent, there be some.

Really good broke niggas and can't There'll be some real.

Both what he said, but how long have you been broke? That's exactly it's like trying to do.

Because the amazing broke niggas that I know like broke the brokenness and got up and figured out a way to be able to get it. Like you can't. You can't sit in that and just let it consume you. You have to be able to, hey, bust up out of that ship because you got I know, all the broke niggas that I got, got people depending on them, kids, mama's family, whatever. So if they're broke, then nine times out of ten, everybody around them is broke. And that's

I don't know, you don't know, you just.

I'm here, not but I mean, I just need somebody like will not need somebody. Let me remove the personal part. But in general, yeah, in general, a good man to me is somebody with a sense of humor, somebody that has a sense of responsibility, and somebody that understands that I deserve the proper respect. What am I trying to say? Just don't play in my face. I don't want you to play at all, but at least, like, don't play respect me enough not to play in my face.

Any rally comes to Atlanta and sits down full full fool.

We're gonna We're gonna go into this conversation and a little bit more depth.

Yes, yes, then we'll talk about like cheaters and infidelity. We'll get real deep when you come.

I'm ready to take me in.

Yeah, that's the Cheeico. You go to him, you already there.

So yeah, the first.

Smoking experience with Snoop, that's big smoke out speak that ship into.

Existence in manifesto.

Yeah, what you got going on, bro?

I'm working. I'm working a whole lot of TV business. I'm working hard.

Uh.

I just I just did a pop out with dotting Him.

Yeah, and I feel like it was it was a dope moment for me for being like, you know, one of the only TV artists.

Who not black hippie you're originally from California.

Yeah, so I was an only long Beach artists on stage as well, So you know, I felt like it was a big moment.

Yeah.

And then I'm working on my project. I dropped my last record, Blasphemy, and then before that, I dropped my one right before that would push your te problems. So I've been trying to like stir up some noise, create the momentum, create a uh a foundation before I dropped the records that I know I'm about tokay.

You know, doing it.

What's the project that you're about to drop, what's.

The name of it, I don't I don't have a name for you. I'm like seventy percent done. But it's about I just did some of those. It'll be one of the one. He has one of the one. I'm sure I'm confident in it.

What you think of the Junior Team concert, Like, what type of impact you think it had on the culture up here?

I feel like it had a big impact on the culture. I feel like a lot of people. I feel like LA needed it. I feel like LA as us as artists, we needed that. We needed we needed something to celebrate. We needed you know what I'm saying. We needed to see that body in the street, you know what running over you know what I'm saying.

So I'm grateful.

I feel like it did a lot for us in LA, for the culture. I felt like it was a good match to see two great hip hop artists go back and forth like that, and then it ended off with a big concert where you know, the fans won at the end, they got music from everybody. So yeah, now, even LA artists is a big magnifying class on us. So I see more LA is dropping. You see Roddy's just drop. You know, you see people that's coming out Like, all right, Joe now coming out swinging. He dropped is

You think it's finally like just like put a something healing on the city. As far as like losing Kobe and losing type of healing.

It was, It's so many.

It was so many different type of games up there on that stage and seeing everybody I'm trying, I was tripping. I'm like, damn, everybody up here just kumbaya ku maya. So to meat, I was just like, damn own there's nobody who's ever did that and we've never had that, And for it to be after those big depths, I feel like it was definitely necessary for our city. Like it was definitely necessary.

Nah for that's dope. That's dope. So what's the ship you're gonna do to use your advantage from you performing on the stage like and being a part of that moment, Like how you're gonna use that to your advantage?

So for me, I feel like I did, like, you know, lot of people they did.

They uh.

Like we got like a sound of l A. You know, everybody got they sound. I feel like I don't sound like a typical LA artist, not to call my brothers and I just sound like a I don't sound like I'm from here anyway. So the music, the moment that I created was like letting people know that I could really really rap TD they breath superstars, you know what I'm saying. So I went up there, no no, I went up there with a no TV with a TV track so you can hear me, actually recite the lyrics correctly.

What's your favorite spot outside of leaving Cally? That's your shay.

It's crazy that.

Yeah there with ladon Green.

What you do Laighton Green.

My dog, my dog.

I used to beut there with her every day at the house every day. So music crazy crazy man, like we we worked on some records age She's crazy like.

So out there, I was in the A and I was in Sandy Springs, Okay, So it was.

It was dope. I really really rock with it. I I talked to my label, I'm like, man, going out there, it seemed like what my indgame is, like, I'm from here, but you get to see if if can I cush.

Yeah.

It funched me up when I when I went out there though, because I'm she took me to where it's a cow It's a rich place, you said, Kyle County.

It was rich. It was like it was.

It was a rich ass area, but they had big ass houses. And I'm like, damn, I said, why you got me in this white neighborhood And she's like, Nigga, this ain't no white neighborhood. I'm like, bigga, I mean the white neighborhood. She like, bro, watch come out at five five six. And when I came out, you see

People.

So you see people who graduate in college thirty years old and got cribs. But out here you see them people sharing a two bedroom and wasn't here, you know what I'm saying. So now when I went down there, kind of fucked me up, and I was like, damn, I need to come down here. And I'm not no I believe in Jesus Christ, you know what I'm saying, But I'm not no spiritual.

Oh my god, I.

Gotta have a crystal to help me. But when I went out therefl connected to the trees, but but to me, I'm not that type of versus of for me to feel that. I was like, yeah, I got be out here. I think that's why I'm end up overall because I'm like, man, I ain't never felt that, and I felt like peaceful. Yeah you know man, So to me, I love Itlanta Like, I feel like that's gonna be for shure.

I'll be ready to get back. I've been there for a year, folly six years. I'll be ready to get I'm ready to get back there.

You know what I'm saying, Like you.

Ready to go.

I went out there. I went out there with uh. I went out there the top and I went to.

A club with Pe.

Some of the girls, City girls, and now we went to a club. Bro, it's crazy in the club. I've never seen that much money on the club. Even when you in Cali, you don't. It's like a sport out there to throw all your money like these niggas is throwing all that money like the most. It's so much money on the floor. I'm damn there slipping. Where's that magic city? And I ain't never seen magic. I ain't never seen no ship like that. I'm like, bro, this

You want to throw all this money?

This like five thousand dollars.

You want to throw all this? They like, yeah, just throw it. I'm like, man, many, yeah.

Look that good.

I mean, you know, I love dollars, you know what I'm saying. So, but I love the culture over there. I feel like it's dope over there. It's a completely different world from l A. Right, and it's it's fast, but it's slower in LA. Like you can create, and I have daughters, so I want to be able to create.

Uh.

I want them to have the hospitality that uh young people have. You know, West Coast we known for being like snooty, like a lot of us are, you know, they carry attitudes and walking around we got like an ego. Even if you're from l A and another l A person walking the room and say where you're from, you immediately jump on that, like what you mean?

What you mean from?

But it's a negative.

Yeah, but over in the South it's like, oh, how you doing where you're from? It's it's just so if you're not from there, you're probably good. Like if as far as like the politics of all the other ship they like. Man, you don't know more about that same what she is from here? You know what I'm saying. So when I want out there, I just felt at peace. It was it was dope, my bad to go on that tangent.

You gotta come to the level so we can do this ship right. Man.

No, I'm trying to. I'm not trying to.

Like it though.

Outlet be hard.

Outlet how you how you keep from getting like contented, like cause you know, some niggas get the jewels and get the fame and think they had to it syndrome, think they eat so much that they don't got to the work.

Is hard, see because because when you get the Jews even so me seeing like how much jewelry costs and how much my lifestyle costs just in general, you got to keep the money coming in.

Yeah you all right, I ain't content with these changes.

I want more and I'm gonna want to keep getting this ship and that ship costs a lot of money, so you got to keep going.

You have the bad coming in and ship though.

And it's like, man, when I be when I be around like my niggas and ship though, like you gotta think, when I'm around Pluto niggas like them, I feel poor, like you know what I'm saying, Like.

People like I ain't got ship now brokes for real, Like I just telling the nigga that bit we went to like bro nigga poet here broncausea depressive like man nigga that was just so far with three hundred he had two fitted.

This little little man, this ship ain't nothing. I watch these niggas spend this shit in a month for real, man, keep going.

So when I'm with big brother now my inspiration, you know what I'm saying. So it's like ship. I love being around that type of ship because the nigga be me and too, though, Man, Yeah, show you hang around four millionaires, four billionaires, you're gonna be the fifth one. Yeah, for sure, as long as you're learning

But you you want the nigga too though. You ain't gonna say press up, but you'll pull up. I don't feel like you got like you got something be having like a we got company or something like a couple of you'll care you go, you go see if a nigga fuck with you or not.

You can tell me if you and I don't got a problem with reaching out, Like if I like somebody ship, I will work with you.

I'll tell you, like ship do something.

Yeah, you're not too cool.

I don't give a fuck. I think every niggas problem and they they don't want to do that ship.

I think that's that's a big part of actually doing that doing everything. I think that's a big part of it.

Man.

If you know, like reach out or reach out to people you want to fuck with or just be honest about whoever. You know what I'm saying, like trying to be standing offs being at Bubba. You gotta be already do that. You can't do that. Ship trying to come up.

That's why, that's why nigg could drop an album with millions of dollars worth of features type ship like off love though, like just because ship like that, though I don't have let it because a lot of these niggas they really are fuck with They really fuck with you from a distance. They just don't say nothing. They don't so you feel me, So what's up? What's going on?

What we're doing? Hell yeah, I've been waiting on you.

But how is your patient? Know where the nigga be bullshit? But you know he's saying he gonna do it.

When niggas do ship like that, I already see, like, oh yeah, because at the end of the day, when I when I when I fun with people, I'll be on some geniue ship though, like I integrat situation, like genuinely though, all right, I'm gonna see if I can funck with this nigga like yeah, like even just like right now, like nigga like Skalller just called me, like just on some genuine hit what you're doing where you're at, like that certain niggas that you could just be like
