elevated mind state. I can't Lose the crime rate, though I know the crime pay Gotta do it my way. Welcome to Episode 0044 rawness of I'm your host, Kevin Stop! And today I have the privilege to sit down and chat with P. K J P. K is an extremely talented artist in Pittsburgh region. He has a unique perspective and showcases his authenticity and all he does. Listening to hear how he challenges anxiety, talks about the best sushi in Pittsburgh and opens up about inner question. Why me? But enough from me. Here's a peek. A peek. A How has your upbringing shaped who you are today in the manual be tomorrow. I

spk_0:   0:46
said, just, you know, maybe more around it. Like I'm more ableto get my shit together. You know, cousin on this

spk_1:   0:54
you can if you'd like to. Uh,

spk_0:   0:55
yeah. I mean, I'll bring it was more so, like, I want to say like, tougher. But, you know, just like my mom and dad is still a lot of like driving me to know that I'll get through any type of situations, you know? I mean, try to keep a positive outlook on because I've seen them go to start that no. Probably would've broke me down, but, you know, they made it through. So and they taught me a lot of love. So, you know, I mean, how did they teach you, love Just loving me and let me know that I'm anything. I'm going through this, okay? And I'll be okay. They showed me a lot of definitely was hard on me at times, but more loved in being tough on. So, yeah, it made me be a better man. Just know giving love the others.

spk_1:   1:35
Okay, given love, that was awesome. So I noticed You have ah, to to to get to you. And it's above your left eye. Yeah. Could you tell us a little bit about the background of the tattoo and what it means to you?

spk_0:   1:47
Yeah. So I'm into Ah, numerology. The number two. I see it everywhere, you know? I mean, and it's even down until, like, my birth date, Like my birthday is February 20 seconds. So they just always been around, like, even since I was a kid. But growing up, I would see you like to do on the license plate. are always on the clock, like just kind of like seeing 11 11 and stuff 12 12 seeing them numbers floating around. But any time I see the 2 to 2 around, it's just like a reinsurance that I'm all right. Like they call them like angel numbers, you know? I mean, so it's like that type of that, you know? I mean, so whenever I see the 22 to this, always a good look,

spk_1:   2:21
Would you say that to to to kind of connect you back to your roots in a way? Mmm, because that's what I derived from when I first heard

spk_0:   2:28
right. I want so much connected to my roots, but I feel like it's like a part of the I just feel like it's a note from stuff we can't see like that out. You know, like that I don't want a higher ups, but you know what I mean? Just like angels. And like those those people that we got around, you know, I mean, like, just let me know I'm okay like reinsurance. I wasn't connected to the roots. I think that's more. I think the tooth in two's more spiritual type of thing.

spk_1:   2:53
Okay, I like that.

spk_0:   2:55
I think it's more to my mind a little. Yeah, I think it's more spiritual than anything.

spk_1:   2:59
So I heard you talk about how you, uh, prefer melodic music over rap and hip hop. Could you talk about why you prefer melodic over rap and hip hop

spk_0:   3:08
growing up here and more melodic music than any logic? Yeah, I like that type of music more than just right, you know what I mean? Because, you know, like my mom would be playing a lot of R and B in the house and my dad, he's a gospel singer. So I watched him and connoisseurs growing up and he'd be singing and they will be harmonizing like the group will be harmonizing and I don't know, I just like it just was more pleasing than me, like rap is cool, but it's just kind of one thing, like so I like the melodic sound of it, like hear melodies are through it like I just like hearing harmonies and that shit's cool. So

spk_1:   3:44
why is it more of an accomplishment to write your own songs rather than have ah, ghost writer writing for you?

spk_0:   3:51
Probably because you feel like you did it rather than wait for my Els doing the work causes like, How could you take the credit for some? I mean, to each his own like So I guess that's how the game works because, I mean, that is somebody's job to write songs. But you feel more accomplished. Like when you did you do it yourself like this. Me like I'm the one who did it. I'm the one who wrote it. I'm the one who said It's all me Yeah, I just feel like that's what

spk_1:   4:15
have you Have you used a ghost writer in the past? No, No, that's cool.

spk_0:   4:19
Everything. And I come from me. Come on. My me writing it.

spk_1:   4:24
Can I ask you about lyrics that you're It's okay. Cool. So, I actually, I was listening to your song with Benji. I won't forget the period, period. Uh, I was listening to it. And waterfall. It's a new song you guys wrote, and as I was listening to it, I was like, Wow, this is like, this is really good, Like I really enjoyed it. And I was looking up. I looked up online for the lyrics and I couldn't find the lyrics. So I went through second by second. I wrote down your lyrics like listening Thio because I really wanted to break it down in the meaning now, now that I did that kind of give me a little perspective on Like what? What it meant. But it's only my perspective. So I want to hear your perspective on this specific like section of all men. Okay, so you go oppositions study switching I'm just playing it more lock My vision can't be slipping standing on my toes Elevated mind state I can't lose the crime rate though I know the crime pay Gotta do it my way Fuck about the fame neither. Yeah, I can't let my time ways Yeah, I can't see you bitches bitches either Get that blind date. Yeah, yeah, and I really like I liked it. So could you talk about it? Which part?

spk_0:   5:41
That I was a whole lot

spk_1:   5:42
of Let's break down the front of it. Get it?

spk_0:   5:46
Get it. Braga Doses Wait! Oh, this part right here. Opposition. Steady switching. I'm just playing a more so with the opposition study switching. I'm just playing the more like you know you got a lot of friends and people not friends because my friends are cool But our positions they'd be switching sides So I'm planning more like switching sides. I'm planning I'm playing I'm playing him or you know I mean, you got playing everything up locked my vision Can't be slipping Standing on my toes I'm focused King slips on my toes I'm focused I'm locked in the morning Elevated my stay. I can't group boost the crime rate Elevated mind statement Many states on another level, then just the lower the lower realm of things. So, like, I'm trying to boost the crime rate. That's lower minded stuff. Yeah, I'm on the elevated Mount ST so I'm trying to level up. Though I know the crime pay. You gotta do it my way. Get dirty out here. You could get some money but dying my way to do it, so I gotta do it my way. Fuck about the fame either. Self explanatory. I can't let my time wait. I can't see you bitches either get ahold of blind date Didn't show up. I got time for

spk_1:   6:45
today, okay? Yeah, and I really I really appreciated the song because it shows that you can that you, for one, you adapt. You know what I mean? Like like you're not just one style. You're your own style. Yeah, and and

spk_0:   6:57
that's cool. I kind of think that's a problem sometimes. To the

spk_1:   7:00
being your own style.

spk_0:   7:01
No, just not having one Stout. Like that's just something battling right now. Like, I don't know if that's dope or not. When it come to me, I'm not just one type using. When you go to artist, you know what you're going for. Yeah, like if you want to look up for decent, like, you know, you're gonna get some type of light.

spk_1:   7:17
He's one of your big one of your apology. Yeah, It's

spk_0:   7:21
like if you were certain orders. You know, like, when I go look up that person, I'm gonna get this type of ab, like for me. I just feel like I got so many sights to myself that I don't got one stone like, yeah, right. It is cool. But, you know, sometimes, like everybody so small minded, I don't know, I just feel like it might be ordered for people searching for the music.

spk_1:   7:43
I look at that. And I think you can adjust yourself to what society? And that's

spk_0:   7:48
why I keep, like, I was dirty times. I'll be telling myself like, Nah, bro, you should, uh, try to get one style and stick to it. But I'm like, not like I'm going to make it work my way. You

spk_1:   7:58
gotta be in

spk_0:   7:58
versatile being complex, having different styles. Like I'm gonna make it work that way. Yeah, that's what you get when you listen to me like you might get some sad shaking like some happy shit. Might get some weird shit. You might get some Whatever. Yeah,

spk_1:   8:11
I always say this to myself. I'll look in the mirror and I'll say BU nobody's better than you.

spk_0:   8:16
There you go.

spk_1:   8:17
And if you try to be someone else or you try to switch up your style to just be something that you're not, then you're style won't come out naturally will be prevented. Exactly. So

spk_0:   8:27
people could hear that now It's like we were in the time now where people could hear, like, if you ain't being authentic, self like you trying to, like, lean towards a type of ste. Our type of wave like a bike. You hear that? No. Just cause so much. It is the same. You know

spk_1:   8:42
something? I know we all deal with its anxiety and you've open out. You've opened up about it a little on in the past, and you actually said you don't really deal with it much anymore. I I don't know if, like, you could just, like, push it off, like you know what I mean? Like, I personally like, I wish I could say that maybe it's true for you, but I just want to know. So how do you deal with anxiety in the moments you're supposed to enjoy? I

spk_0:   9:09
still do. Do anxiety. What I was saying that I don't deal with no more is depersonalization. That's like a former anxiety like that. I wouldn't I wouldn't even wish that. Don't nobody like I don't care what you did. Like I still wished I don't nobody. But that part is like when you get so stressed out that thought just going so crazy that it make your, uh I don't know that just make you your brain go nuts broken because the lighter Yeah, bro. But it make you feel like you're not in your body like it make you feel real out of body, like, really far away, Like I'm kind of looking through the glass like it's like, you know, it's the weirdest thing ever brought. Dealt with it for, like, two years, but I don't deal with that no more. But I make videos on YouTube about that specific type of anxiety because I know people out there are doing with that and they don't know what it is or what. I didn't know what it was until one of my friends told him, and I was I thought I was going crazy and he said, I don't like this When I was like 16 soon I heard that I felt way better. But as far as the anxiety go, I still get anxiety like before shows. Or if there's personal, sit inside my brain in him that I'm dealing with it like it's mine might not be as bad as others, but I just feel like for so long I got good at, like, masking. If something was wrong with me, like it's still my show on my face or like people who really know me don't know, like so I'm probably wrong with him. But, you know, I just tried my hardest to like that. I like time. Video games. You got me. I was like, if you got anxiety, you gotta have something that you could do. Like, you know, like I was outlet. If it's sports, are you gonna play basketball? If you want to run around watching sports if you like paying if you like singing, rapping Even when I rap like when I'm in a blue file really be Is this all about me? Like I'm having fun when I rap like I just anybody dealing with anxiety just get active like that's what I would do. You get active,

spk_1:   10:58
get active and something that you enjoy your passionate or even fast and loose. There's some fun

spk_0:   11:04
get active. But don't sit in the crib for a little bit. Sit in the crypt. Do whatever you do is you could feel what you want to feel like If you feel sad field I should all the week If you feel mad, fill it all the way. But don't sit there complacent like that and, you know, just let that you gotta get active. You gotta go

spk_1:   11:21
be active. Stay out. You hit a little bit about how you play video games. Yeah. You have a Twitter account, right? Turn up. Yeah. And you mainly play madam, right? Yeah. Okay. No Zebra knows, man. Goes right now. I feel like I could beat you. A You You just said that we could have bought the consul here. The interview out of the shit out of you. While you're doing the interview, we'll see we're gonna hit you back up in, like, three months, six months and get you back on. So we could do that. Yeah. I'll bring the station and two sticks. And that s O. B. Could you talk about, like, what? Motivated You want to get a Twitter account into? Like, like, most like, I It kind of comes into your personality when you're like, Well, I switch it up. I don't really follow what you expect. Yeah, you know. So that's kind of what I'm getting at here. We talk about it.

spk_0:   12:12
Yeah, I do like to just do different stuff then, like, ain't nobody doing, but I just feel like a lot of my life followers is more active one. Gaming and sports, like a lot of my followers, is into all of that type of stuff. So I don't want just connect on the music vibe like I get kind of boring just putting out music and trying to interact with people do music. So I just want to interact with him, like come through the last room. People talk, sit on their way. Just be having fun, making jokes like I mean, sometimes nobody will be in there, but there's always at least 56 days in there that come check me out sometimes. But one time I did an MBA to occasionally my 200 years in there, bro. Yeah, with the night took a, uh, to gain 19 drugs, and I was the only one. For some reason I got okay. 19 aught of E books got paid $100 for the beat for the V books, but nobody else is loaded. So, like I was like me Hubble, the live stream and everybody was just Inter bro's cracking. It was fucking cracking broke, but I'll be down to play with anybody people d m e all the time and be like like I just got a message last night. Somebody told me there's a big fan and they wanted to play for a night with me. But I don't really be trying to do that too much because like I would, I would rather just run like one or two games with people and didn't get back

I get that I have, like, a bunch of journals on in the journals. I rent my ideas down on rides like and one day I So I've torn both mind seals, and I've only gotten surgery once, so I couldn't have the tornado at the moment. And I was thinking about it one day. I was really in my thoughts. I was very angry, upset, and I wrote this thing. I said, Why me? Why does this happen to me? And then I took a step back after I wrote that, and I was like, If if this is happening to me, there's a reason you know that I am. I'm on this. I'm on this planet to make more of an impact. I'm on this planet to to have more of a relation with people, to have an impact, to be something more s o. I don't I don't look at it. Like, Why me? I look at it. Why not me? Yeah, Okay.
