Episode 174 "YOUNG DRO"

dude name? Orlando Brown? Brown is not on vacation. He disrespecting my brother bown was the last time you watch one on sixtion part? Last time it was hot with Little bow Wow? Who was on there? You got a problem A little I ain't got a problem, a little little ba got some bob mass pussy. Orlando Brown definitely stay off the meds or get back on the Mad's BT. Turn off your damn phone. People always have a phone on solid. Orlando Brown definitely has an issue. He was

going to church. He had the baby and new baby stopped taking his meds doing so well. I know, I said you get off the meds. He needs to get back on his prescribed medication. What is he like, is he bipolar or something? When you do whatever he needs? You said, he's off the med So I'm just like, you know, he listened that that man is not that old. He too wrong to be looking at Oh that is drugged, right, Yeah,

I agree, he looks like drugs. I feel like he maybe do you take medication for for having bipolar disorder? And maybe he stopped taking it and when you don't take it for a while, don't don't make any like that. But I never know he was diagnosed, but they could make people I don't know. To keep in mind, this is all something's wrong with him. Everybody got an uncle like Orlando Brown and acts like that. That's this looks like a form of bipolar disorder. So I'm just gonna

go with the ladder that he has. He's bipolar and he stopped taking his meds, and this is what we get when he doesn't take his meds because it happened before. Okay, speculation, but it's all cat. That ship just seems and looks and he sounds like cat. What are you talking about? What he said? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he was talking about you know, the crazy thing about it diagnoses there's something wrong with him. Yeah, okay, drugs. I think it's drugs too. This drug there's no way you're

acting like that. I think he like relapsed or something. Thank you. That's what I think he did too, because I talked to Funny Marco. Shout out to Funny Marco Um. That was the guy that was an interviewing him. Marco was happening in UM. He said, like when he said that, you can hear in the audio people in the back

of life. Was he like really fidgety there? And I mean he said he said like the interview like he was just like, you know, just throwing just like blurn like you know it kind of like he got schizophrenic or something like he's just like just if you watch the interview, he was said a bunch of stuff about a bunch of other people. That was just that part just went super viral. I watched the interview, I was like, yeah,

this they ain't know bipolar disorder, that's drugs. How I did address addressed it by the tweets since when Legends got to speak on fucory, I'm feeling my new TV show, My dog is always feeling a new TV show, Uh neither here nor there, and preparing for a sould out show at the Old two Arena for the Millennium Tour in London. I'm a thirty five year old father. I don't play the type of games you do. Know, this is bow you're talking to, right, I am a boy, damon speaking of I'm a boy. It is a boy

to Chloe and Tristan Thompson there having a boy. He is Sarah getting everybody going crazy on the social media is because this just came out. But I will say the time stamp is as accurate as the surrogate. This hasship has to have happened during the relationship prior to the kid with the trainer. So the baby is already here. Yeah it's a boy. Yeah the baby is here. But you know he you know, he probably got two girls pregnant that ghetto twins and he has now two kids

with son and a daughter. I just think at this point she just want the same daddy. I'm just saying you could do bad. I am confused, but at the same time well aware that this is clearly something that

she invites into her lifestyle. This is ghetto. I'm just saying this this some ghetto ish that you hear in the hood where you like, listen, they're not together, but you know, but it's kind of like Courtney, she knew that, you know, what it was with her and Scott, but she wanted her kids and she you know, have the same other, same father. Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. She only wanted the same years. Yeah, but she knew they weren't gonna get married or there wasn't a future with him,

but she wanted her children. She was you know, her biological clock was probably ticking, and she wanted the same father. So she just went on ahead and had all her kids. I mean, now she's in a different situation with her husband that she wants a child with, so you know,

that's a different situation. But I can only imagine with Chloe, like she probably knows that there's no future with Tristan, however she wants her biological clock is ticking, and she you know, trying to get her kids by the same daddy. That's that's weet, speaking of the same daddy. It's so many good segues. Elon Musk's dad, Everal Musk, reportedly welcomed the unplanned second child with his step daughter. Nasty, nasty, nasty,

that's nasty. So that's crazy him. Now, hold on, guys, reportedly welcomed a second child with his stepdaughter, so he already had one with her. He became her stepdaughter, her stepdad obviously when she was four years old after married her mother. And yeah, that's such a predator. That is just they also have two biological children. So then so now the two biological children that he has with his stepdaughter's mother is is now her step daughter's uncle brother.

This some Kardashians uncle brother. This sounds like, sounds about right, sounds about right, sounds about white. And uh man, my boy, little boozy is outside being outside getting arrested, and he just went just spast take a listen. I'm gonna make you are. You're gonna be soon like a ready all the way ready down to New York. The first white boy what're doing now isn't from a friend on that bea goddamn badass, And I soon him right by you. He read I'm ready. I'm sing he ain't ready because

he had such a long sentence before. We didn't even know he was when he was gonna get Yeah, I think that's what I think. That's what tweaked in his head. I think something snapped in his head because he said, I'm tired of this move to the I'm sam ship. I think Little Boozy is ready to die. And I

don't mean like he wants to die. I feel like he's ready to die because I feel like a lot of gangsters, especially his age, I've seen them, been around them, they feel like they're on barrow time, so they be like ship whatever, I'd have made it this far, fucking I could tell that. I could tell us temperament was like, I'm ready to go funk. What you're talking about? It

is what it is. Did you hear when he said I had death on my back in prison when he beat that murder charge, because he was like, yo, that was That's what I'm saying. With that in the back of his mind when he wasn't certain that he would get out, you know, you think his attitude will be different,

you know. I feel like, again, I don't know Boozy personally, but I've been around him a few times and I'm definitely a fan of him enough to know that I can definitely tell that a lot is always on his mind, especially with things like that, because you know what outside back in the day, now you don't nothing, don't forget

who Boosey used to be. Facts And I don't think honestly, anybody that's been to prison for a certain amount of years, I don't think that ever leaves their mind, you know what I mean, like in the back of the head, because you've seen we've never seen we always seen Boosey just fun. We ain't never seen this type of boosty to where you know, even the guy that was with him was kind of like, damn boosty, Like you can tell you like, damn man, calm down. It's already tell

him to calm down. So yeah, uh at one time for your Miami and uh did day in Paris? I don't know. I'm going on the top and going in and going in. Oh and uh speaking to your Miami her and Kevin Gates, Uh show can we play the clip O c T. Don't let them holes get in your end. Tell you ship about me, don't be over the hopitalizing at the end of the night. You know one thing, don't know Aboudy hold you like me really your cousin. She pulled me to the side, said baby

that's your cousin. I ain't stop. What is you really like that? Or I want to stick my whole tongue in this bitch and I want to our ears, hold my mouth, stick my whole tongue and down twirling bitch because I got a big long air tongue. Can I see a tongue? You looking feet about the few gonna did were about your shout to breathe through your Oh my god, I'm speechless. I think she meant her match

with him the way that she. You know, something sometimes with Miami, just say stuff and it's like it's a it's a shocker. I feel like she just made her match with him because he offered Chavin Gates has no filter. No, I think Karaia ain't got no filter, but Kevin Gates is just like it's just like, that's what I'm saying. I feel like she didn't met her match with him. She was speechless. She said, that's a that's a one

day on one day type of situation. That's a I can't wait to uh to go watch the full thing. So that's super dope and I'm excited. But I got a question to you, who do you trust the most to make your y'all mac and cheese. Mama, grandmama, wife New Bay or the church mother. Well, I mean, I don't know about wife, but I would say my mom. Who pay? Yeah, I'm going my mom. Man, I'm going on my grandma one time for my wife though, because my wife and my grandma made the same macaroni and cheese.

But you, my wife's macaron and cheese tastes almost as good as my grandma's macaron cheese. And my mom makes not my mom's macaron cheese. Ain't that good? Sorry, Mama. My mom's oxtails at on point. I eat her oxtails over everybody but macroon cheese, and my mama rory ain't no grandma Grandma is to go? Alright, P I would love you and I miss you. I know that's right. I love you and I miss you. Mom. All right,

let's go. Let's take a commercial break. When we come back, young drowers in the building, I got talked to him one on one right here on the ball of the Show podcasts available everywhere you get your podcast. We'll be right back with more of the Baller Alert Show. You're you're listening to The Alert Show Man, I feel like a living legend has pulled up on me. Man, how's it throwing? Sir? What's my brother? My brought Young Drows in the building. What's going on with you now? You

tell me, man? What has young drove Ben? Man? Oh? Man, I've been now hibernating that it's men like a big barry. No, but I've just been actually, man, I've been Ashley just in the gym, leaving the gym, going to the studio. You know what I'm saying. I got these cheering together. Man. You know what I'm saying, being a good dad, you know most of the time, and staying in the mix though on the road most of the time. You Drow is a living legend in my personal opinion. Um, do

you feel that way? I feel that way sometimes I do when I when I when I get out and see all the loves I get and when people give me their stories about how they you know, grew up on stuff and you know how they look to me for you know, be partying and kicking it and what songs got them through. Yeah, I feel like I let you. I spoke you up the other day. I'm I'm from Florida. Um,

I went to College of us F and Tampa. And it's a song that you did call high five, and um, that's one of the songs that we always did when it was somebody's birthday or whatever. And um, I always I was like man drove always. I always went to Drove for some colorful palette swag wearing bars. Um, where did that come from? Uh? When I first started, when I first got into the music industry, a lot of

people thought I was from Florida. I don't know them colors and you know, if my family actually comes from Tampa. My mom, my mom's um, brothers and sisters did from Tampa. But what when I get that front, I think I think being being poor, I guess you know what I'm saying, made me think colorful thoughts. And you know, wanted to be I wanted to be something that was that stood out, you know what I'm saying. Because I'm from I'm old enough to be to add a black and white TV,

you know what I'm saying. And I always wanted color in it, you know what I mean. And I thought that you know, um, bright colors really complimented my darts and complexion. You know what I'm saying, okay, young draw on the building up. Now. I want to take it back to the beginning of your career when now did you first become signed when you signed to Hustle Gang or did you have a situation before you were sign up, because the first time I heard you was on you

Hustle correct. No, No, I kind of went through to UM. I went through like a couple of drog dealer's hands. Um. I remember wrapping. So you were signed before you went to grounds? Yeah, they're no that. Yeah. I was signed to Rain the Dream, didn't know tit for Life Records, and Roco came and bought the contract from Rain the Dream. I think, did you still go by Yon Drove? That

was you just drove? Um? I think my first album was I got to Draw, Yeah, and then by the time I got to Rocko, I was young Drop okay, and I remember rock buying the contract back and we were celebrating the Blue Flame, you know what I mean. And that was that was that was a big moment in my life. You know what I mean to be for for somebody to come pay some money for me, you know, when I ain't having a really a deal like that. That was still independent, but I felt pretty good.

So you're signed to Rocco. And at any point did you feel like, Okay, I need a bigger push because you were signed independently, I'm assuming correct. Um, when did grand Hustle come into play? Um? I actually the bigger push was there. It's just that we wasn't that much experience in the music, um, because I had songs with Monica,

Juvenile Turd, Bone Crusher, Um, Jazzy Fame. Yeah, I had all this done with Rocko Okay, so we just wasn't that experienced the pretty much young young guys just out there and I just still had my My lyrics was very good though, and I had a voice for it. And after that, that's when Grand Hustle came around. Yeah, Tip Tip came to the studio one day and he asked rock Um. He was like, I gotta I need my ball here with me. You know what I'm saying,

don't want you on him? And it was it was I guess they told me to get out so they can talk about it. But that happened like that and so um, after they got to talking, something happened and it really didn't go that way. So Roco came and grabbed you from and then Tip came and grabbed you from Rocko or something like something of that. Just like that, Okay, and then now we we we blow up and shoulder

ly and comes out. Yeah. Yeah, that's arguably one of the biggest records of the year when that came out. And remember that. Yeah, so we we was we was actually we had momentum of the day one the gangster grills were dropping. So when it was out, man, it was that was a trip for me. You know what I mean? That was Now people see you. When they see you, they know who you are. Stopping for pictures, Yeah, stopping for pictures and you know, are you making uh I want to I call a street money. Are you

making like hand to hand? People ask you for feature money? Uh? You are getting booked in the local clubs money? Are you making money at this particular moment? What year is this? This is like thousands and like five four? Okay, okay, you're feeling me um not really feature money because we was kind of sting you with our features back It's why you didn't like. But I was making some money, man, I had made like I got my advance and then

I really couldn't spend it. You know what I'm saying, because I was just in a whirlwind and making money. So I, Um, I used to have this draw that I used to keep the bread in it, and it's stacked up. That ship that looked like hunt cake. I'm really making some money. Okay. So I got damn ship after that millions. Okay. So now Shoalin is out and I believe that charters on the billboard. Correct me if I'm wrong, Yeah, charted number one. Okay, excuse me. I

I apologized. Um, so it goes number one on the billboard chart. Who is young Drow at this particular moment? Because now I see you on BT one on S some part, You're on MTV, You're on You're on TV now TRL all that, Howards, life has changed. As soon as you get to where you're from West Side Atlanta, it's not the same Drow. Correct, Um? It got different? Do you have to move out of where you grew

up at? Yes? Um, we would move downtown to the twelve top floor in North Atlantic Station, twelve top floor. We will be there, and uh it was. It kind of changed for me, man, and I think I think it changed. It changed like my attitude. I got a little bit more gressive, a little bit more cocky, you know what I'm saying. I'm not saying that all of it was good, but most of it was. It was coming from a good place, you know what I'm saying. But in time, I'm it counted. Guy wicked. Okay, yeah, okay.

So now we outside and young drows doing this thing. The remix comes out. Um, you're everywhere, You're getting booked everywhere mentally, whereas your drawer, Um, because I know you said, you know, you get a little cocky, little arrogant mentally. How are you dealing with people asking you for money? Family members saying hey I need this, um such as such,

make saying I need that. And now you know, I see the kids is a little bigger now, so I'm assuming they're they're super young or on the way at that particular moment. Yeah, so all my just had my well I had my first daughter already, she was like four or five. Okay, so everybody asking for money, I'm giving it. Um. I remember going to the bank and taking out eighty thou all dollars just to you know,

make sure everybody straight. And sometimes I would just take these stupid amounts of money out of the bank and I'll be like, well, I'm gonna take has had this for myself, go to the mall with this, And I got this for you know, people that you know, because I'm my heart as biggest Georgian you know, and I made sure I always made sure I gave money to the people like kids or whatever, or girls that that wasn't stumps or whatever with their kids and trying to

get you know what I'm saying, make sure they asked some for school, and if you really didn't have nothing for Christmas, I would, you know, That's what I made myself available for. And I think that I kind of drowned in that because I was trying to actually I think trying to play God a little bit, you know what I mean, so to speak, because I would make sure that after I came from Hollywood or something, you know, or we was in l A or outcome all the

way back down and you know, spread the love. And also I would get actually caught up in those places, you know, other situations would present their selves, you know what I'm saying. So you will be like, man, seen drove a little bit too long, you know, what I'm saying, and then you know, and also the drugs, you know what I'm saying. So it came from a girl. These people now that maybe you have helped out, Are they appreciative if you still now or I don't. I don't.

I don't see most of them, you know. I think the ones that I do keep in contact with, they were appreciative, But most of them was drug addicts, you know what I'm saying. So I wouldn't say that they were very appreciative because we actually all threw the money away, you know at some point you um, then you know it's but it's a lot of people that really really you know what I'm saying, Hey, little I used this

for the money. Um, I actually got through school. You know, you gave me some money to actually give me some shoes that probably at that point in time that you know, those those a pair of shoes might have really mattered, you know what I mean. Two thousand two, young Drove has been through a lot um Again, I will say this is all blue in the face, purple and face, your liver legend in my eyes, look up to you, being benefit of you. Since I was a young young

guy trying to figure it out. Definitely use your lines for lines that I thought people needed to hear, because I will come up to Atlanta in the summer and then I will go back down to Florida and just come back with the lingo to drip the whole sauce, like you were the first person I saw in the polo, Which leads me to this question, what is your infatuation with polo? Ralph Lauren? Do you know this man? Have you met this man? Something that you just came up with?

You know what? This is something? Because I've never seen anyone to do it like you. I mean it was high school, man. I think, Um, when I was in high school, you just wearing short shorts way before everybody else. Yeah, it was like that. It was like it was like like I didn't even own any jeans, Like, yeah, you wore that. Yeah, I didn't wear tennis shoes like that. If I was gonna wear a tennis you was gonna probably be a skipper or you know what I'm saying,

or a case switches something something playing. But it grew in high school and I always knew that polo bridge the gap between poor and rich. You feel me, You didn't have to have a lot of money to get it, and you couldn't tell if I was either one of these things. Feel what I'm saying. So, and it's you. I would look at TV, you know, and I would see rich people rocket, and then I would see, you know, not so rich people rocket, But you really couldn't tell.

And it was just classical to me, you know what I'm saying. I felt classy, you know what I'm saying. I felt like I had class rocking it. And I felt that everything that I felt, like Cardier's Polo and Jack Warres went together. You know what I'm saying. I mean, you did a hell of a job making them, making them go. Yeah. So I mean like it was. It was. It was all a thing that I pictured in my head and then I brought it to life, you know

what I mean. Yeah. Um, in closing the person that you are today, man, uh in two thousand and twenty two, do you have any regrets or or anything that from the past? Yeah, I think, Um, when I picked up drugs, that was pretty much the worst thing I ever did was drugs and uh and and to see when we're not just talking about weed now, we're not just talking about we ain't um. I indulged in a lot of different kind of drugs coming up. I mean, like to say, to to to make a long story show. It's like

a rock like the rock star thing. I kind of was like living that, you know, And I thought that one night we was just gonna have fun, you know what I'm saying, And this was just gonna be that. And it turned into a habit, and I made a lot of poor decisions, um, indulging in those things. You know, nobody really explained that, hey, look, this can't get bad. It's get out of hand, you know what I mean.

And in and in the future it kind of showed, you know what I'm saying, Like, I think God for carrying me and keeping me to the point where I could still I'm still available to actually go on tour and do shows and you know what I mean, and continue to you know, I got the money from this profession that I have, but that was one of most things I regret. Man. I appreciate you sharing that because you know you didn't have too. Let's talk about some music, Uh,

I got Big John sent me a song. Yeah, money man, Let's talk about that real quick money huns man, it's just like you know from you know, I still have I'm still in the street with you know what I'm saying with my my family is so big man, and we just in the lingo part of the city on my always in tune. Just like we called money fitting REGs and dug decads whatever. How you know these are terms that you know we put in place of cash. You know what I'm saying, fat aids. You know what

I'm saying. So money on? Is it a hundred dollar bills only? Or is it fifties? Te is it all on? Money on? It's like money on? You have money on it on you. You feel me like like like feeling scroop club shout out. I ain't even going on that dance for him, he ain't having no money on, you feel I'm saying, like, you know, so it's just another word for money. You feel me young money money on? You see what I'm saying. So yeah, so me and

My bout dt was telling me, hey, man, shout out, we got to do that money on so So I mean when I did it, man, my little kids went crazy listening to it, you know what I'm saying, And and me and they in the beat and the beat just rocking, you know what I'm saying. So we tuned in and the new thing you're everybody had money on. You know what I'm saying. I appreciate you pulling up my brother and uh you know again and give your flowers while

I got you on take. We'll be right back with more of the baller alerts, y'all. Man, it is time for baller mail. Dear Ferrari and ball alert. My lady has called up at work and it is bothering me. We've been together for five years and a few weeks ago. Her new bass at her job is her ex fiance. I am not comfortable with her working at her job with her ex fiance. Neither is she. But it's a great paying job with benefits, etcetera, etcetera. I don't make enough money for her to quit, so I feel trapped

and need a few opinions. Appreciate y'all. What do you think that's kind of a tough one, man, I would, you know, I would just have a conversation with my wife. You know. I think the best thing for you to do is help her find a new job. There's always other jobs. If your wife isn't comfortable, you're not comfortable, and just help to find a new job. Or you may need to find a new job so you can tell your wife to quit her job. Rorry what you got. Well, before I tell you what I think, I'm gonna tell

you what's going on. The fiance probably got that job on purpose. Okay, transferred over there where your where your lady is at. Now, why she's not your wife, that's none of my business. But if she's just your lady and her ex fiance is her new boss, just know on the first day of work that highlight reel went through his head depending on where she wore to work. So I'm just letting you know, player, you need to

get your ship together. You should have had your ship together so you'd be like, man, thought that job, God, damn, I got it, you know what, Go ahead and take you a little sabbatical. You feel me out to make sure you're good. Now, I must say, let me just address the elephant in the room. You kind of you feel like you may be a little insecure about that. I don't feel like you should be uh insecure about

it as long as you trust your lady. Now, if you have a little insecurity about the xpience to make you uncomfortable and she is also uncomfortable, like you said in the uh in the ball of mail, yeah, you're gonna have to go ahead and get her new helping find a new job. But that's gonna be difficult. But in the meantime, she won't have to wear some baggy clothes to work. You feel me. She might have to request a different time shift, but if everybody's there, it's

four hours a week. That new boss is looking at your lady, brother, she she's potentially seeing her ex fiance at work more than she sees you. I'm just letting you know. Fourty hours a week is a long time. Sounds like that her work husband is there, and she and he used to be her ex fiance, so you know they were having sex for raw. I'm just letting you know now, So buddy, you're in a tough conundrum. You better go ahead and map this thing out and

figure it out. Because if she's just your lady, y'all stay together. You got your work cut out for your brother. I'm gonna pray for you and helping get a new job. Or you step your ship up and she don't got to work. Well, she gonna work, but you feel that, just step the game up so you know, and then stop being so insecure. Bro, I feel like you got damn you know what I'm saying. I know I probably just helped. The insecurities just got bigger. But UM, if

you trust your lady, it's cool, You'll be right. Call it down, bro. Sounds good time for us to get the funk out of here. Uh, give me some shout out before we roll up out of here, guys, and one time for you and row. Um. He did say um that you know, one of his biggest regrets was um doing drugs, and I think that was dope of him to um admit that. And you know, UM prayers, blessings and everything uh with him moving forward and definitely felt good talking to him. So yeah, ya shout up.

You already know man, shout out the good state of Arkansas, and make sure you'll go out and vote for your your governor because y'all getting mad about all these things is going on. Only thing that can change is voting for the right jovernor. And also it's a lot of things going on in Atlanta. I know this ain't a shot out, but I just got to get this out where they're trying to change the law with the establishments. There was too violent complaints. Uh, you know, business could

get shut down. I encourage everybody to go out and go to the hall and complain and do everything that you gotta do to stop this from going on because a lot of people will be out of a job. City Hall up, City Hall. All right, Well, it was just my birthday, so I want to shout out my beautiful mother, r I P and Um, thank you for life. Yeah, happy birthday.
