Rap Radar Rewind: Trippie Redd

I shot anything, Man. I never had a number one album in my life. What's it like tripping it felt good? Did you do out write celebration? Did you you keep it low when you found out the news? I kind of like trying to rejoice about everything. Yeah, be happy about everything I do. But do you think it's a testament because obviously came out with really big records like the Dog Now you reckond like but now like now you have catalog, like you're six seven albums in right, so,

and this is your most successful project? Like is that even more? Giveing me more confidence? Like like to show everybody like I'm in this for the long, Like I'm a career artist. Yeah, it was more so I was just trying to build myself up to a point where I could do certain things and um to that point. So it's like, you know, I can get a lot of things done, but this project, do you know it was going to be received the way it was when

you first created. I felt deep down in my heart when I started working on it, which was I started putting it really together, like right after I dropped exclamation mark. But it was like songs I had done already for like the past two years, and then it was like songs that I just started and I did like those songs for like two weeks. But I just felt in my heart like these love songs I just did right now.

And then some of the little grungy stuff and the hard ship that I had plus the new ship that I brought to the table is like a good body of work. Here we say that your whole thing is you've got hard records, you got grungy records, but then you got the love joints and like some like you're a master of that lane. Like why do you think that you're able to like you know, capture the emotion and like deliver content that really connects with the people.

Well that's that's like just what I really specialized that is making those type of songs. I was trying to figure out how to really consistently make the harder sound and stuff, and uh, I think I got it now. I know how to do it now, But at first I didn't know how to do it, so I was just focused on like love and grunginess. So Dark Knight demo was kind of like an accident type ship. I will really making hard songs like that. What's the key

to making something good? Heart energy? I just gotta be in that, in that mood like like, sometimes I'm not in that mood, but I'll be one to make songs like that. So those days I just gotta take my ass home m chill. But some days I got it to where I can just do that. Why did you feel the need to double up this year? Because of course you drop exclamation mark now you got you know right back A yeah, yeah, I did that with a love letter to you three in lives of trip and

a love letter. Do you want into yeah? Do you feel like you need to continue to do that just to maintain that consistency in the marketplace? Or yeah? I mean I sat back and watch people like I love Future Ship. So the Future put out so many bodies the workout wants. It's just it. It was fired. He's consistent. He loves this fan. When you first had the love letter you for the first one, did you know what was gonna end up? Did you have a vision of

making a series like to keep adding on to it. Yeah, but I was only thinking about making two or three, But now I'm planning on making like six. What was the turn about? What made you change your mind? I feel like every project I can just elevate it from what I'm saying. So that's what really changed. It's like, and then I got my own like little motives like like six kiss. I don't know, just the number six in general. I like to fall on that, on that number.

So do you think it's now accident that this is yours the most successful one? You feel like as an artist, you're at your best right now? Yeah? It was like Exclamation work was just me working on a different sound that ultimately was helping me work on my my main sound. You know what I'm saying. I changed a lot of my main music and added and implemented ship that wasn't

there at first. And you can just see the transition from a love letter to You three to love lettery You for how much the music transition and how it just sounds a lot better because on exclamation mark it seems like you're just holding it down kind of mostly

by yourself. And then on love letter four because like you share the wealth a lot of different voices, and I don't really do a lot of features like my projects like that, like like likes of trip and a love litterty you, uh three, It wasn't really that many like that. I put people that are really famous on my project. Yeah, I noticed that, like the b little WHP right, like he also helps you get on in the beginning, right, Like I like him on that joining

with the Jungle Book and stuff. I talked about him like he was is one of the key figures like when you went to Atlanta and first started building your career. Yeah, I just one of my fans coming in comment his name under my stuff, and then I went to the ship and then ever since day we have been like cool. He picked me up that same day and we just kicked it, and then after that we never not kicking for a while. And we're both doing music. So and

Chris King he's another one, right. Yeah, When I left from Atlanta and went to Ohio, I hit up Chris King. Well, he Chris King hit up me because he was liking my music from a distance. But I wasn't really that popping or whatever. But he was telling me to come out there because they could change my life. So I did. He said, he told you three years ago that this game was ours. When he told you that, did you

believe him? Yeah? But even this particular project, like the intro, like you start, you set the tone really hard, man Like was it therapeutic to get that stuff off your chest? Only? Right? There was some hard lines on there too, man like when of the drunks you said the best part of us was me. You know when you're with me, you're a genius. Now your life you gotta live like live life as an idiot? Like what was that session like for you to get all that out off your chest? Fun?

Sounding good? I was like listening to you had the other line, I do miss who I thought you were? It's really were and good as what does that mean? Why I miss who I thought you were? People would come into your life and show you one side of them, and then you'll meet a whole another side of them down the road, and then you'll miss who you thought that person would. It's like a lot of times relationships you've had, it's been kind of more in a spotlight, right,

a little more public. Do you think that that going forward, you may not do it the same way? That does that make? Does that factor into anything? I don't. It doesn't matter to me. It ain't hurting me, you know what I'm saying. And nine times I'll attend I don't really have nothing against anybody, have nothing against my exes, and maybe they might have something against me or something,

but I don't have nothing against them. So I don't never feel anyway or I feel like, damn, I gave them this, and I don't give a funk what I gave. They ain't with me now, So you know what I'm saying. I don't think my fans or anybody that I'll rock

with is really gonna be rocking with whoever. I don't rock with like that, you know, but if you so, if you rock with a young lady, you feel like it's almost natural that you're gonna bring it to the forefront and just depending on how I'm feeling, I might I might do a little secret dating or whatever. I guess that's what they call it. I don't know why. You know, sometimes I don't even be planning on showing nobody just happens, like people just see me out and

then they recorded and ends up happening again. But do you like that those experience kind of inspire you and inspire the music and inspire contact comes from that. Even without the the internet things, I will still be making the same type of music. I still feel that about

like the music I make. I feel that about multiple girls, and ain't just about people out have been in relationships with people I just maybe even slept with, just funk with, Like you know what I'm saying, like friends with or something.

I was wondering that if you make this like a lot of music that's cater to sort of like touching on these topics and obviously the people people mistake like a love letter to you for it, Like it's not about any specific person, It's about multiple females that I've messed with over the years, you know what I'm saying, Like if a song is named after a person, Yeah, okay, but the whole letter to one person though, like that's it's to the world. You know what I'm saying. It's

just feelings, my emotions to the world. You know what I'm saying. I just want people to feel how I felt making No songs to the women that listen to the women that hear the songs that's inspired by them. Never hit you up like that, get inspired by listening to the song? Yeah, well, like the intro. Like you know, I'm saying a matter like that when she heard that record, Like what was the response? I stayed away feeling just feeling. I look at it like it was just a feeling

that I was feeling. Ultimately, people can take it how they want to. I wouldn't mean it no harm by I was just trying to get emotions. Are his therapeutic? Yeah, nothing against anybody. When you've tapped into that, Do you feel like that that style of it is going to cater more to a female demographic that other women are gonna like that these music in that song is that you're intent to I have so many intents at once.

It's like the music I make I make for multiple different sections of people because I just know different people listen to different things from me, So making a love larity for it was literally trying to touch on every base I could. But it's like it's a little bit of stuff I couldn't implement, Like I couldn't implement the rock. I couldn't implement a little more alternative side to it, which is ultimately why make projects like lis of Trip.

You know, Lifes of Trip was like a more alternative hip hopish by and you know, I'll probably do that again too. Why are you so driven? You always talk about like why are you so driven to kind of showcase that versatility because a lot of your peers probably can't go to all these different places, Like why is it so important for you to show that versatility in

your music? Honestly, being versatil keeps me going, Like, you know, just being able to do so many styles of music and just do a lot of different melodies and stuff. It just it's fun. It never gets boring, and if it does get boring, I can just take like a couple of days off, you know, come back to it and be happy as hell. I found something that I liked this time, even on this project. Can you Wrap

Like Me? Part two? Like you saved the best for last, like you really showed it vers until they getting the bars off, Like why was important to continue that? It was unexpected Honestly, that was the last song I made for the album, and it was like we just was high and I pulled up like some rap beats and he was just freestyling, and so I did like a melody and it was hard. So we put the beat in pro tools and ship and then I went in

there and freestyle that verse. Do if you think it's pretty impressive, Like I feel like people probably on you on your wrap skills. Do you feel like that happens often? They can, but I always show that I can rap, But I don't really care to, you know, like relate to people that just like rap. You know, I don't. I don't care. I might do something like like maybe like a little ep rapping because of Chris King, because

he likes to wrap you. But that's the only reason why I kind of like hold onto like at least one rap song per project. If not, I might not put none because sometimes I just like my whole seeing you. But but the rap shure, I do like it. It's fun. I like being able to spit bars. A lot of people can't. I know you grew up a little way and you said the Carter three. You know we heard it something. I'm clicked in you. Like how inspiration it was that project. I mean ship. You can listen to

it from top to bottom. It's a body of work I look at like a love letter to you. Like Carters, my Carters, those are my cars. Yeah. I love the diversity on two. Like you had this one record until the end of the time Joint. It sounds like you was writing it inspired. It almost sounds like it could fit a rock group, like when you were writing that, Like was that inspiration? Who was the inspiration at the time of making all this stuff. I've also been working

on like a rock album too. I've been working on the rock album with Travis Barker. Okay, so drop that this year. Damn working already those those times off your fans been seeking that though, Like I like the thing I've been sitting on its feeling fully ready, yet at the time it took time to get it to way you really what it is because it's it's been done.

I just finished like two or three more songs were honestly and I'm waiting for two more features to come in and then after that, I'm done with it, like completely, it's basically already there. What makes it rock? Like just guitars and like kind of literally rock. There's no hip hop aspect to it at all. It's just rock. You still let the hip hop element because on the you got the on the record death you got to the club up sample, you know what I'm saying, Like, did

you grow? Hit the motherfucker? Hit him? All right? Three six? Did you grow listening to those two? Like? Why wouldn't you fit that energy? DJ Paul was there. I made it so, you know, I just I was in the studio. I was high. I said a few words sounded good, so I said someone that mom, But did you had that? Like you taking almost of another classic record? Like why did you decide to like take a free six classic and and flip it and make your own art off

of it? DJ Paul honestly, he came in with that beat, like he turned to was instantly like give me that ship because I just know that that's what I was looking for. I've been trying to make the harder music. You know. It was like that one set it off for me because it was like it made me understand like damn, I could be in there like wishoo two two threes, nig you're gonna die, we know with the gang. You know what I'm saying. It still sounds hard me just saying it like soft like that, you know what

I'm saying? What made you put the baby on it? I like, I just I love the baby. It was either him or you know, Travis. But even listening to the project, it seems like you're almost like a hopeless romantic. You know. It's like, what kind of creative space were you in it making this project. It's kind of like my slogan, life's a trip. I go through so much ship. I'll be going through ship that people don't even know I go through. It is be fucking my whole life,

my whole world up. And that's where like all the pain and aggressiveness and all that ship comes from in the music. It's like me getting it out or letting it out because I'm listening to its like feels like heartbreaks and breakups. You know, there was a hard to get out of. And then like people talk ship, but they don't really do ship. So it's like and I get angry and you just stay there and got no way to get it out. I'm on there, like niggas were talking ship with this ship for it. How was

it changed with six? I mean, you'll see there's been a lot of success, right, money is coming, fames come in, Like, how does that good or bad effect the struggles that you may have had earlier? Like money calls MO problems, MO money more problems. Is definitely feeling real. I just I don't know, you know, it's cool. I like it, that's whatever, you know what I'm saying, It's life. Still at the end of the day, I still live and go through the problems that everybody else go through and

their normal life. Just I got a little a little more a little more fortunately, and that's cool or whatever. But we're all going through the same ship regardless. I still feel the same pain as much as people. But you don't make it a little better. And then one thing we all dealt with as painful as the recent loss of Juice World. Obviously he's on the album. He's

a good friend of yours. Like I've seen you take a real hard stance where I know you smoke weed and you don't really funk with a lot of other stuff. And you were sort of saying out to your peer group like you know, we gotta chill with that stuff. Like what what made you speak out? I just you know, like that ship is just it's not good. You know, it's just not it's killing people. You know what I'm saying, it's killing our our youth. I'm saying all of us is,

you know, dying off for drug reasons and ship. Like look at little people like I with a little people, A little people following me wanted to do a song with me. Before I could do it, passed away, you know what I'm saying. Me and Juice were very close maze songs all the time. You know what I'm saying, I love them to death. I don't want to see my friend go out like that or go out any type of way. You know what I'm saying. I wanted to be here for years. You know what I'm saying.

I want to be able to grow old and see his kids and stuff. So, you know, just going through that type of stuff back to back to back with friends and you know, it just it's kind of like a wake up call to be like, yeah, you are like the only one left. You gotta you gotta really take on what people was trying to do, you know what I'm saying, and and relate a message, get that shipped out, because it's like, don't nobody else will? I know they won't, a lot of people won't. Everybody's want

some selfish type ship. Worried about this, So I gotta be the sacrificial lamp for for my people, for my fans, you think they're afraid to say it. I feel like everybody is just on some selfish ship, That's what I'm saying. Like I gotta be the sack official lamb. I gotta give myself to my fans and really tell them the real because everybody else want that's alid gimmick and everybody want to just blow up and be on be this

big person. That's all they care about. I just care about putting out music, so honestly, doesn't fluffing my waters? What was so special? Like you know how much the music is to you and how much you study this, like explain to people that may not fully understand, like what was what in your mind was so unique and special about Juice for all the artists, everything that Nigga did was amazing. He just he just like me. For one, he could just free style anything. Yeah, hours and hours

to you know what I'm saying. I never really did that on like camera like this rapp for hours on camera, But I used to do that with my friends in the house and Ship. That's how I used to record. So seeing him now just in his prime recording like that's like, damn, that's fine because me, I I changed

my whole program up a little bit. I added like Ship, like I'll punch in, but I never write anything at all, But I punched a little bit of things, and I'm more of like a vocal person, like I try to just find a note that sounds crazy, and then I'll keep going with that note until it hits the right note, and I'll keep going with the song. What was it like working with him with six kisses? You guys do that together. We all the songs we did we worked

on together in the same studio, all of them. Every song we did together, watched together because a lot of times, you know, people just send tracks back and forth. So me and Juice was like real friends, like we're just chill and be you know, smoking and vibing out he's showing you your cards and ship shows you what cards video games? I'm the saying, way I got this ship at Myles too? Well, yeah, he just was a close to us friend, you know. So ultimately we just used

to make music on some Why don't we make a song? Yeah, let's make a song. Guys have like a lot of songs together that we haven't heard yet. We got more than one hand. Do you feel like you're ever gonna show us to the world or is it two personal too? I feel like I feel like y'all go here. Okay, I feel like you should be hearing them for sure.

You also dealt with the loss of X and I know on the offer me record with more Perfect you use a little bit of the vlog of something he said, like why do you decide to use that that voice voice note and part of the song. I mean he was basically touching on how he felt like selfish, you know what I'm saying, because he wanted that person to be offered them offer him and ship like that, you know, so that he rhymes with the with the theme of

the song, Yeah off for me. So you know, I just looked up excellent love quote you just he was saying that ship. I was just gonna quote something myself, but I watched his video and him saying it, so I just was like, it's amazing. I'm gonna just add it to the song because it definitely goes. How crazy was that? So? Like, I know you guys had your ups and downs as friends, but you were saying that you actually were coming out of jail when you found

out about his passing. Yeah, he um, he died on my birthday, which was the day I got out of jail. It was your birthday. Wow, I just got out of jail two when I have How did you cope with that loss? Cried on the ji. Yeah, I had to go to court and so I couldn't really go do anything and the internet, so I was subdious funk. I was in a bad place and one of those records are abandoned, right. I was listening to that and just it's really it's a really touching song, like what inspired

that particular record? Love Love? And you have the Mariata scientists into why do you feel like she was a fitting voice for it? Her voice was amazing to me, So he sounded like fucking a goddess speaking of the voice of a goddess like out sidebar I saw someone did Canada. You were saying, Maria carry songs, you grew up rock with it, and you said you were singing a song. But y'all to stay what the song was? What was the more I Carry song that a young

trippy was singing his heart out to? You remember the name of the song? Well, you go? Is that her trying to catch your melody? That I don't even remember this? Sorry, I just I used to sing that work for wherever it came on right now, I sing it right now. And that's your Mom's just a musical family, Like she just pounded that. I'm not bumping, I'm not right. But I love her music. I love her influence. Did for

the cut for sure? Yeah, And she definitely has songs that I can see word for word that I just don't know. Yeah, to the melody aspect and try like when did you start of how to incorporate melody in

your music? Like whan did that click for you? Probably back then, like literally around that time when I was just singing songs like that, I could just sing sing songs and then I would just be able to wrap two look up a Bullingdocks type beat, and when did it hit to like incorporate you said you stick called the screaming element, Like when did the hit that? Like, oh, that could be a good element for me to use my music, like the sort of screaming tones you start

to add into. I felt like I had everything I was just missing, like something that just steering me apart from people, And ultimately it ended up being the screaming or like straining my voice a little? Yeah, it's not really straining to me, Like it never feels like I'm straining my voice and none of that. It's just like a tone I can get out of my voice. What was the early trippy years like growing up in Can't Bad as hell? The NFL Hall of Fame or something

in there can't when I can't know how? That's all I think about it was it was cool those or whatever. I didn't really like it like that. Did you feel like you was ever going to make it out of that? People don't ever feel like they're gonna get out of there? But was that why it was some important to leave so? Or like what fifteen sixteen you left? Like did you feel like you don't want to be this cat. Its whole life is in Ohio, like you you need to

step out. I mean it wasn't Ohio. It was just kidding. But you know I went to Columbus and it was like I got I got the doing stuff. I got to be able to, you know, ultimately make Love Scars, I mean Love Scars in Ohio. So if you had made it, you had got the Love Scars was one of the early tat you got right, and then you almost put that pressure on yourself like and then make a hit right like that's crazy, Like chattered Love Scars

before it became a hit song, that's crazy. When you were just trying to use that as like a branding, you know, it was just like damn, I need something that brands me. You know what I'm saying, what what really fits my vibe? What's gonna make me different from

everybody else? You know? So ultimately I made that song the boldness to do the face tat thing, Like what what made you go all the way with that that you knew you wanted to get a tat not just that would get to stop be knowing for the face tats. I just knew I was gonna make it. If I wouldn't have made it, I would have been shut out of Look when did you decide that? When when you realize things started to click for you musically? I always though like she was like gonna click from always just

to think like I'm gonna be big. It was like nobody would like back up that. You know what I'm saying, me saying that. It was just me saying that, So I just get up do me? Was that particular song was it love Scars? And we realized that things are really becoming different from me. It was probably when I made my first take called Awakening my interne Peace, and it was like I had a song with me and Cody Shane produced by Pierre. All my older stuff was

produced by all about Pierre. I've been working with Hama Beats and he produced under Enemy Arms before and then, you know what I'm saying, I don't he was just some my beats. I don't. I don't. I don't know if you had other like producer credits or records that

were big or not, you know what I'm saying. I just was working with him because I heard something on Instagram and he had like a couple of hundred views on it, and I just thought it was amazing, Like why then do this this thing and that have like other thoughts of bowlers. All right, so we're gonna take the A and our position at the labeled and trippy my own damn label for the show in progress? Do you have desires to take it to an executive level? M? Yeah,

well yeah and still make music executive. So I hear my name is Elliott. There's this other guy, Elliott Grange. Man. I keep hearing about him, like Lucien Gradees son um your label, your side to his label, Like how did you connect with him? And like why is that the

right home for you? Right now? Ultimately? I uh, I connected with him and you poort have empowered the whole movement, right, I mean you were the first kind of artist of the whole structure and like, oh there's the whole thing, right M. He just focused on me a while and ultimately worked. What did he say he saw in it? Like why did you feel like this this is the right move for me? I mean he's seen me where I'm at now. Yeah, he just out he knew it, Yeah,

he knew it. It was just he was motivated I've seen that the anxiousness and his eyes for an artists that was really gonna you know, take things to the next level for ultimately myself and in the label. You know, do you think that was a benefit for you that maybe going to like a major label structure and you may get lost with all these other artists, like you knew what's holed then like he's gonna give you the attention and you get the back and that you need

to put it out there the right way. Yeah, and ultimately, you know what I'm saying, who doesn't want to? I like more like family oriented things, so like to know that there's not that many on our label, but I'm one of those guys, like I'm definitely the first one,

you know. It just it feels different, doesn't feel the same, being different as being on a major you know, where people you know they'd be cryings and be doing d and how do you how were you able to do du I wish I was the two albums in one year, right, So you can't get that in the other buildings sometimes and get the needle moving to get yourself in that position and you still want to have a desire for

the accolades. Right, I've read an interview you said you want the Grammys, the billboards, all the things that come with being I guess you know big artis those things are still in Yeah, your you pretty sure. I was. I want to go diving, and I'm pretty sure I'm about to do. You feel like that validates you as an artist, those kind of things. You know, I'm gonna

just go diving again. It seems like you're more attracted to the idea of like be having these respective full lengths bodies of work than the hit thing of like because you see, you see a lot of your piers don't get a care about my fans, and I care about my worth and my my history of trippy Red. I care about the Grammys, I care about the Diamond records, I care about platinum, gold billboards and number ones. I care about all that ship because that's just my history

of me, you know what I'm saying. That's what I care about. I care about how my fans help me do that type of ship, you know, And that's like, really, I like, I don't care for all the other ship. Now everybody care about I don't really matter, but you do. You love that you have a career where you're like, you have big records, but you're not defined by one record, like you see it a lot of people. People don't

define me, but one record help me. It's the ground up right here, you know what I'm saying by myself no help me and Elliott Grange. I'm just now getting to the point where it's a lot of love being shown and people in the industry like me and stuff like that. At first, it was none of that. So why do you think that I can call for that? I don't know. Maybe it was the way I carried myself then versus now or I don't know, but either way, you know, it's not that no more so we're not

gonna even talk about that energy. But was it was cool when like someone like a Drake reached out and it was acknowledging you earlier it was like trying to work with you and stuff like that. It's cool, but they also want the record, Uh, be yourself. I think that's one of like one of those point your records on exclamation point, Like why did you feel like it

was important to get that message across? I've always been myself, Like sometimes I'll be having that voice in my head, like like I was walking through rolling out and I'm like, I had like this Bandanna thing wrapped around my body and I was going like this on each side being goofy, and I was gonna walk in front of people. Maybe I should just walk right right, like with a straight face, not do this ship. And then ultimately I was like, I don't just keep doing that. I have a number

one out. Nobody gonna say ship. You know what I'm saying. I'd rather be myself than try to look cool or whatever how people put it, you know. But I feel like everybody has that voice in their head where they feel like, let me do this, let me feel me. And ultimately some people do take the option to do

it sometimes. But me, I try to kick the mother in its face, you know, the devil on the shoulder, the angel you did have to say, where you always want to ultimately stand out to like a lot of times, a lot of young rappers we try to lump a men groups together. So like you, to me, always distinguish yourself where no one could put you in a box with someone, so like you sort of always keep pushing it to stand out to a certain extent, even the jewels,

Like the jewelry game is always unique. We got here, ye chriss it moon. I was working on the project. I was gonna call it Nocturnal m but ultimately that project became exclamation mark instead of nocturnal, but a nocturnal still a thing and definitely still working on that is no telling. It's just a project, you know, just the name. I came up with the concept we got you into jewelry, Like even though you got an R and P joint to Richard Millie plain joint like a low key one

of my favorites off the project. And yeah, like what what is it about the jewelry game? Like you came in like unique and strong with it and like dedicated to it. Like what does it attract? How does it attract you to be involved with it? I know how to make jewelry, you know, versus a lot of people just coming up with a bunch of bullshit. What pieces of your most products do you think that stood out? And like, I'm most proud of my my Uka Uka jointing with the spikes going around it with a little

face from crash bandicoop uh. I gotta get this money, man, I know you're the most proud of your stage show because you know, yeah, rolling loud, like when you go to trippy ratio, what can people expect? Love me more tour coming right right? Which one second seat on? I'm like more on some like trying to give like a stage presence, Like I wanted to be set up, you know what I'm saying. I got like a whole little old thing into it and ship, like a whole way

of dressing and a type of ship this time. So it's definitely gonna be like a tour tour. Yeah, like a real like we're not no, I'm about to come out in some sweats, a T shirt, sweat. It's gonna come out in a suit, jump a little bit, take that ship up and get grungy. But you're wanna talk for like three months almost right, Yeah, get a lot of new ship in the set list, a lot of new DUTs. Oh it's the whole okay, performing in the

full before most to the album. For every show, you said, like with every project you have, you challenge yourself to have your own like top five songs of the project, right, Yeah, you have a top five for this for this latest project. I like every song which one was like the hardest to make or most fun to make? Six Kids took the longest to make. I had Juice showing it already. Juice was at the studio, so he lays that down. Boom, I'm supposed to put my verse. I've never put a verse.

I couldn't. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to put. Then I've seen Mally. Mally had tweeted he wanted a song with Juice, and it was like in his early stage is where I just probably didn't even see it or anything. So I gave it to him to hop on. You know what I'm saying, So you have doing it. And I liked this verse, so I was just keeping

it in the vault from the project. You know. Ultimately I started working on the Love Lady Be four and I cutting the verse like right before I dropped the album. So um, the when Melly hopped on it, put this a way. When I made fourteen at nine nine Juice World, I made that song too late that Verston and uh, Melly hopped on it around the Astro World tour. When I was on that in Miami before we get out

of here, I know, you said, like one thing. You feel like you still kind of like I miss understood as a person and so like people don't really fully know you. Like, do you think sort of still having sort of a mystery as part of your appeal. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people grow with me as it goes. Now, though I feel like people people, some people know me, like somebody got to press my buttons and everything and they know how to do certain things.

They just okay, nigga, you know me, but people don't know me. So I do have a lot of mystery to me, and so I feel like a lot of that mystery comes from the music, though honestly not really

from me as a person. That music ship is what really people like from me, is my music or anything like I see people on Instagram and stuff like That's what I be hating when people say, like, you know, like why would I post like girls I messed with or anything like that, because you know, like on Instagram and stuff, it's like that's Instagram, you know, it's not it's not music, it's not streams. I think it goes

back to that fan base, right. I think they stood up for you with this last project, and it's just like what do you think it is about your fan base that's unique, like genuine. You know what I'm saying, to keep it real, regardless of how it's gonna make me look, I'm gonna always speak the truth. I do that with my mama the world. You know what I'm saying, Donna speak the truth. You know what I'm saying. The only thing I ain't speaking to is the police. I

feel like that vulnerability is part of your pill. Then yeah, it seems like the fans are loving it too, and we're loving it some damn water your brother. We appreciate you man, taking the time by your mom's proudly moms. Probably to get a gift. Holidays coming up. Oh yeah, I'm about to get hurt again. She on my ass like, you know what, I want? A gift to you, Bobby? You know what I want? She called me, Bubby? What she want? Can you sh wantels? Where we go? When
