People would come, Yeah, niggas gonna slot shout out to Tiger Man. Anyway, welcome to the show. For you to kwan, yes, sir, for people who don't know who you are what you do, man, give us a breakdown or basically, watch Homi Kwan. So should I be looking at anything, just look at me. Watch Homi Kwan, comedian from Wats, California. I do hood type of comedy. I bring a sense of authentic goodness,

if that's even the word. I tell hood stories and in an authentic way and provide people from the hood opportunities to get a chance at being a part of Hollywood and doing films and stuff. And you started as an artist, right, yeah, I was doing music and stuff first, So what you're you know, it's obviously a hard industry to make it and as an artist, what what made you kind of pivot and go more full in on

the content and the comedy. It was a video one day, like when Instagram first started now videos, when they first started doing videos, it was fifteen seconds. I was just like, just on some funny shit. I was like, uh, this member's answer to the party, and it was me doing a dance called the Hoover Stump. I did that and went viral and then the follow started coming in and so I was like, ooh, I always wanted to get

into acting, so this might be that avenue. So I started doing that and then once I started doing the comedy stuff because my personality and who I am is just goofy, So started doing that shit and then it just blew up. So then when I started to try to put out music, it was hard for the newer fans to gravitate too, because they're like, oh, you comedy right, right, So I started doing celebrity impression so they can still hear my bars, but hear it from a different person

that'd be like, oh this sit hard. So the acting shit just it just blew up, so the music kind of fell in the background. I think it's dope because, like you said, like what you do I think is very is authentic, but it's also kind of like for anybody who's not from LA it's also like low key educational. Yeah. Yeah, I'm like the hood learners God, and I am the

hood pass if you will. Yeah, I feel like you kind of like touch on so many like things that nobody would even think about if they because you know, we live in LA. Yeah, most people ain't from here who are within this industry, this music industry, this entertainment industry. A lot of transplants, but a lot of people move like don't really know how to move around out here. For me, my hood pass was DJ Head West Coast. DJ Head kind of had to put me on the Hey, look,

don't wear this hat. This DJ. I remember one night at the radio station had broke down every gang beef in LA because I had no fucking idea that this gang beats with this gang. And there's a reason why you never hear this artist work with this artist. And I was just like, oh shit, the politics. It's crazy. I always knew there was politics, but I didn't know that, like, you know, crypt sets beef with cripsets some places, and

I'm just like, what the fuck is going on? So, but I feel like you kind of like are like a very like easily digestible way of like kind of just understanding LA culture a bit more. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. Was that kind of like the goal for you to kind of because you know, people always think Hollywood and the Valley is LA, but it's not. It's not, it's not at all. Was that your kind of goal though, Like, I want to be funny, but I also want to make sure like I kind of

shine a light on like the culture of the city. Yeah, honestly, bro, I wanted to be a voice for people that come from where I come from, because we don't really have a voice too much. We had a voice with John Singleton, ice Que, DJ Pool, rec In Peace, f Gary Gray, you know, filmmakers like that, and those movies were so dope. They told our story, but it still needed to be dugging a little deeper. So what I always valued was

just us. I love who we are. So I was like, okay, and all these movies and all these films that have people from other places portraying us, why aren't we portraying us? So I'm like, all right, I'm gonna provide these opportunities for people that look like me, that come from where I come from, these opportunities to show them we capable of doing this, doing the shit too. So I just took pride in like us, like I love us so much, So I'm gonna show. I'm gonna show the fun side,

I'm gonna show the ignorance, I'm gonna show everything. I'm gonna put everything in the video, and that gives you whatever, like thought, like, whatever thoughts you get off of the video. I leave it open for you to discuss whatever you want. But I'm showing everything as a whole to get you to laugh, get you to heal through the pain, but also to see the ignorance that we continue to put out to show you like look at yourself, you know

what I'm saying. Yeah, and then you also kind of just like you said, you bring in people from from LA, like you know, you'll collaborate with Duno or like certain people who are who are you know, you'll share your platform with other LA personalities. So I think that's dope, man. Thank you talk about Growing Up in LA, which is like for people who don't know, it's like a TV show that you that you're behind, that it skits. Yeah. How many episodes did you do? I did five this

season five self produced. Yeah. Yeah, So give us like a rundown of growing Up in LA because that's on your YouTube channel, right, Yeah, so on YouTube channel. Growing Up in LA is the sketch comedy show I created with the help of my lady, Mike Williams. She she helped me figure out the concept and basically I wanted to do a sketch show like All my Life about my experience growing up in LA, but also tie in the things that inspired me as a kid. So she

was like, Okay, Boom, we're gonna get together. Look just how you write this. So I structured it and I do skits where it consisted of me sitting on the couch looking at TV and I'm reenacting the shit on TV like cops, cheaters, shit like that, and it's just a variety of sketch show like all the shit I watched Robert Townsend's uh uh what was the name of the show, Robert Townsen's Partners in Crime, the Dave Chappelle Show,

Dwayne's Brother, Jamie Fox show, Martin all that. So I incorporated all those things into this sketch show, which allowed you to see the black and brown community getting together. And then you see like these different situations and these different characters, and it's just like something dope for the city, just really la base. But you get the hints of different spots when you can watch certain things and they're like, ooh, shit,

that resonates with where I'm from. It's also impressive because, like you know, I think in twenty twenty two or twenty twenty one, when you first put the episodes out, like you feel like a lot of content creators traditionally will depend on a machine or a developmental deal or something to do what you did. Yeah, when now we have our own plot like YouTube, Like you know what

I'm saying, Like there's really no excuse. If you got an idea, you put your head down, save your money, figure it out, Like, yeah, you should be able to execute your ideas. Like was it for you? Was it like did you try to shop that idea around before you just decided to put it out or were you like, let me let me put it out first, Yeah, and

then garner interest and Yeah. My whole thing was I wanted to do it myself, Like with the show producing myself, I've written it myself, I got to cast myself everything. I more so was like I'm not waiting for nobody give me an opportunity. I'm gonna give myself an opportunity because a lot of times we tend to wait on other people to throw in that life rap instead of jumping out in the ocean and swimming yourself figuring it out.

So I was like, I'm gonna do the show my damn self, and if it blows up that way, it goes that way. But with me doing it myself, I'm gonna learn the importance of independence and figuring it out on my own. So I'm not at a cross road to if this shit don't work, I don't know how to do this. I'm gonna do this now and we're

gonna see what happens. What were some of the lessons that likes because obviously doing something for the first time, you're gonna be like, okay, shit, yeah, the next season, we gotta do this different over some of the things that you either made mistakes on or that you learned

from the first season that you know, bros. Hiring a better crew, like not like that, Like I got love for the crew I did have, but I feel like they didn't execute the vision will and that was that was is the reason why we only had five episodes because it was just like a battle of power. And the thing is, bro, we are here to work together. You know what I'm saying. I give you instruction. You can throw your opinions cool. I will take that and if I if I can apply it, I will apply it.

But if I'm writing this and I'm doing this, like trust me and my vision and I'm letting you know how it should go. So that making sure everything is taken care of for a sound and all that shit,

because that shit really matters, does matter. The right little things that you don't even think about are things like your shit look like official or makes it look like yeah so that and and really, uh, what was another thing that I learned from the show that was it just a production because everything else was cool because it was like all people that I worked with before, So everybody else was easy and fine to do it, But

it was just hiring the right crew. The small things really does matter, especially if it's like your first thing coming out with that can be the the rids or the fall of who you are, because if it's like super shitty during the first go around, it makes people kind of hesitant to like, I don't know that's real.

That's real. Just taking care of those small details, sound, the color, the right editing, like all that shit really means a lot for people who come to LA, give me a give me the parameters of where the real LA starts, because most people will be in fucking Melrose getting robbed these days because they're walking around with jewelry and it's hot out here, But like where where is like you know, where would you suggest the people actually tap in if they really want to get into like

actual real l A culture, not just the Melrose and fair Fast you got, you gotta hit the other side of Pico like all like all the hood spots. Man fucking I says, it's just the it's really the other side of peakle I say, like, Nigga, once you cross, like go to the east side and that's basically like like uh, you know south Central Watts Uh, like the west side, not going towards like you know, Hollywood and all.

That's that's the cute ship. Once you go to the hood to like where you seeing food spots like TAM's, uh Master Burgers, like certain fist factories and all that ship, that's the hood ship. You Is it frustrating being an LA native? Yeah, Like I feel like it's like I'm talking to figure ot how to explain this because I'm like, I just feel like LA is so like I don't

want to miss no parts. People come here and they pillage what the opportunities are that the city gives them, but then they'll go on Twitter and bash La like nah, that's like that shit happens so much. Yeah, And he's like, yo, like the audacity of motherfuckers come here like the fucking townhouse and fucking Woodland Hills. Yeah, and then ship on the whole shit on LA. Yeah, so you live in Woodland Hills exactly. You're not in the hood part. But the thing is now when you come to this spot,

now you got to watch your ass. Yeah, because you're running everybody. You can't do that. Like you have to know in LA. You got to know how to speak. You gotta know what words not to say and different like different ship like that. It's like different words that you get every day. Use can also be a disc What are those words? I can't say none of them words on camera. But it's certain items objects like food. Wait,

there's food. It's food names that are dis is like you got to be careful of, Like you can't take crab yeah, okay, see see Okay, Now that used to be so bad, but now it's kind of like not okay, but it's like you can kind of get away with it because that's not something that you can expect everybody to know. But like the certain shit like certain pastries

and certain juices and certain snacks. You can't say none of that ship because you get your ass packed out, Chris, I'm gonna go get some crip legs, Like they don't say crab crip legs. What is the safe hat to wear? La LA? A blue LA black A black LA blue one is low key safe? But like the eighteens where you know the blue LA hat game? Yeah, okay eighteens? Yeah, yes, so so black LA hat is the Yeah, Like that's like the safest joint come from Arizona. What about a

Diamondbacks hat? Can I is the Arizona Diamondbacks hat? Anything anywhere? I feel like you're the guy to ask. It definitely can be, but that's not in my opinion, No disrespect to nobody, but it's not one of the more high ranking hats, right like because because I got I got an asy hat bro at the house, it's kind of like it can be, but like I could, I think I kind of be okay, but that you can still

get some flack with that motherfucker. If you had high ranking if you had to rank the top five high ranking hats in LA as far as like, hey, careful where you wear these motherfuckers? Oh? What would they be? I say number one? Number one would be the Houston Astros which is Hoover's the Hoover hat. Then you have you have the sixties had the Mariners. That's done. Then you have the folk Glove with the Photies hat. That's

the Brewers. Yeah yeah, yeah, uh. The motherfucking what's the BPS is the Cardinals St. Louis Cardinals, Yes, Saint Louis car the stl hat how to get you fucked over? And the TA hat Texas Yeah, the tea hat for Trey JANINSS and and twenty Bloods. Like you get your ass whooped on like them hats I mean and why I had, yeah, of course, but like certain ones pinpoint exact hoods, like the Photies in the in the sixties had like like a New York hat. It is just neighborhood, right, yes, neighborhood.

You get your you get your ass whooped on with that hat too. Yeah. And it's crazy because so many people just that's like the most popular hat in the world. Yeah. People just be like, I need a Yankee fitted. Yeah. He was the Homie Lewis from the band. He was like, like, what's up with the ny N. I'm like, now you can't wear that. That's the neighborhood that He's like, what so they gonna trip on jay Z. Nah? They know jay Z nigga, they don't know you, they don't fuck

you up. You can't wear them nah, jay Z smooth. You got to like obviously, you know, the wilding Out thing is a big deal show. First of all, I feel like Nick Cannon doesn't get enough flowers in general, just for like wild'n Out and the careers that helped start and just I look up to Nick Cannon and I think he's an incredible business man, incredible creed. But how did that initially happen? Basically? Uh, I was going through like a bed relationship, like I said all the time,

and I was asking God for a sign. When I got on my Instagram, I see Nickkinnon Like, yo, boy, Nick, who don't want to see them wateryda? So I got up and I took the last money I had, went to the slows and got me a waternight hoodie, and I started doing skits every day and and so the the view started to go up on it. Then people were like, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna link you. When Theick Cannon no, no, no, never did it. DJ Head called me like, hey, you talk to Nick. I

was like, nah, ain't talk to Nick. He's like, all right, boom connected the dots, putting Nick on the phone. And Nick was like, hey, people have been telling me about your shit. I just never watched it. But I can't guarantee you gonna make my show, but I can give you an audition. And I was like, bro, don't guarantee me shit. Give me the audition. Then I'll show you why, because I don't believe in nobody just giving me something

like that. Just here, yo, You'd rather earn it because I want to know the importance of having this versus me having it and not knowing the importance of it. You know what I'm saying. I want to I want to work my way to to understand why I got this. So they was like, all right, do an audition tape. Like what you mean doing audition tape? Like, I don't got to come to y'all. They're like, nah, make your own.

I was like, fuck. Went to the barbershop, set it up like the water and I had the tables, had the chair that had the waternow girls, and I played every game and I did all that, and I put it in a bitdeo and they didn't hit me back, so I was like, oh, my shit sucked. And then they called me like I think like a week or so before my birthday and was like, I want to fly you to Atlanta and you know, go to workshop. And that's how that happened because my hard work head.

You know what I'm saying, Ali hooping that shit because I deserved it, not because he's just doing the favor, but I deserved it. And the rest is history. As I got there being like somebody who's creating so much dope content doing your own independent TV show, have like any of like the Hollywood scene or industry reached out to maybe have you help write or do any sort

of acting or anything. Has that. No, I've gotten some acting opportunities, and you know, I was able to low key like I don't want to say it like that, but I was able to like chat with like Issa's team's amazing. I wanted to like meet her. I was an insecure too, but I didn't get a chance to fully meet Lisa. But yeah, like just people just just watching and I'm happy with them watching why because they tuned in? So whatever the fuck I do that opportunity

to gonna meet itself one day. Yeah, I love like just how she curates that, like well, obviously the show's over now, but yeah, the music, Yeah, I just feels so it is like it's it's so like hood, like not even in a bad way. It's just she get the locals and then she had like, you know, people from different spots too, but like just the locals. She catered to her section and it's like love. Yeah, it feels like almost like a like a commercial version of

like what you do. I guess it's like if you watch that show and you're in Houston or something, you kind of get a real taste of like LA culture and what it's like to be like a young woman

in La. And you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, that's why I love Eastern Man, even watching The Misadventures of an aquad Black Girl, watching how it developed from that on YouTube to their like she is the prime example of getting out the mud and chasing your dream, Like I love what east is doing, no excuse, doing your own and then people will find you. And if they're gonna fuck with you, they're gonna fuck with you.

You're just gonna keep running it up. Yeah, So like, I love the funk out of that man, and I thank you for that compliment too. Yeah. How how has the pandemic affected you? It affected me in a good way, I was gonna say, because I feel like you kind of went up in the Yeah for sure. For sure, because it leveled the playing field for all creatives around the world. You ain't got no excuse. Oh get more than me, nigga, we in the house. Like, So that's

how I got my YouTube popping broke. Like the first kid I did during the pandemic was I did a remake of I Am Legend, but I was doing it as the pandemic version, talking about how it's like no toilet paper and I'm outside looking for gas. If anybody got the gas pack hit my line. So I did that and then I started doing uh hell of skits every day and I rant it up on YouTube. I had about like four hundred YouTube subscribers. By the end of the first year of the pandemic, I had like

a hundred and ten k followers. Wow you got that plaque boa Yeah oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got that plaqu I'm proud of that. Moe fucker I'm on my way to the fire, honey k plaque saying, then I'm hit that MILLI. I'm about to be in

the game. Bro. That's big man. Yeah. The thing that's dope is like, like you said, like I always tell people like the pandemic made it to where I feel like you have no excuse because all of the like even if you were like a you know my industry where your radio personality, like artists were doing ig lives, yeah, zooms and and so like, it really leveled the playing field for everybody. Yeah. So it really kind of to me like separated, like who's really with this shits? Just

like really not built for this shit anymore. Yeah. Yeah, Like I was like, all right, bro, look I don't give a fuck if it don't work, try it. At least I can say it didn't once I try, you feel me? So I was like, this pandemic run it up. We got out filming every single day, and we shoot all skits on a cell phone, not even an iPhone, on a on a on a Samsung Galaxy that's twenty and I edit on my iPhone. I keep both on me. I mean my guy Galaxy flip come. But I got

them both. Yeah, yeah, but you don't know that galaxy that the camera is best fire. It's fire. It's just there's just no eye message. That's the only bad part about it. And emojis or shitty. Yes, but if a galaxy got the eye message, your bubbles word fucking grit. Oh bye bye bye bye that camera fire. All your skits are shot on a cell phone. Yep, all on the cell phone, and edit on my iPhone. So you don't even edit on the laptop. No, I did it

on my hands. Wow. What program do you use? I'm gonna tell I ain't never really told it, but I use eyemovie, I use d shot in this other app called uh keen Master King Master keen Master. So there's literally no excuse if you're out there master, there's no fucking excuse, no excuse. Everyone has a phone, nigga. If

you if you need music, you got screen record. Ah. So if you need to put music in your ship, just screen record, turn off the turn off the notifications, screen record that motherfucker straight through, rip the audio from that layering on the video. And you do all that on your phone and upload it a YouTube, all on my phone. Wow, Like I'm I'm old school, bro. Even when I wrap, I've got notebooks, like I like the value of using my hands, like being hands on. You

like all your own ship. You edit all my own ship. I'll be up all night editing on my ship. And if I need to do a voice recording, I go on my closet, close the door, record like that. It's crazy because a lot of people will use the excuse, well, I don't have cameras, cameras are expensive, or camera one who can edit, or I don't learn it. My MacBook does, can't handle the footage. I don't have it. Man, Look if you're doing it all on your phone, no excuse.

There's no excuse, bro. I'm telling you, you know how many times my fucking stories be so full in this phone. I got to delete everything out of my phone, pictures, videos of like family shit. I'll be uploading shit to dropbox now. But like, no excuse, my phone and crashed and blacked out because I edited so much and I had too much footage. But I believe in myself that much that I'm not gonna give myself an excuse not to be great. I'm not gonna say, oh, it's this

person fault. I don't have this, I don't have that. No, you build that shit up and then the team comes as you build. The thing about it is you have to learn something in order to to to get somewhere. You have to go through those punches. If you don't take that hard route, when you make it and shit crumble, you don't know how to pick those pieces back up. But once you learn how to get it from where you are at Nigga, you straight. It is not just

like risk people. When rik people lose all their money, they don't know what to do because they don't know how to get it. Once you know how to get it, you know you're straight no matter what happens. It's a one man army over here. Come on, that's big. Come on. The other thing too, is consistency, right, Like I always tell people, like, if you start something, a lot of people get discouraged because maybe the first two or three, four or five even ten things they do might not

set the fucking world on fire. But it's like, yo, if you believe in yourself, if it's good, it's gotta be good. Yeah. Because there's rappers who we know probably been wrapping for twenty fucking years, it's like, get ahead. Your shit is trash, yeah, yeah, rus. But like if your shit is good, if you're dope, if you're doing quality shit, whatever you're doing music, content, whatever, podcast, as long as you're consistent, it's gonna eventually it's gonna work

for you. You just have to just not get derailed by you know that's shit it because like it is discouraging, but you gotta think about it. Not everybody is gonna like what you do, and there's gonna be some people that do, So you do it for those, like it's better for you to do it from those core fans that fuck with you. Because you know, for a fact, if I do a show, if I do anything, these are the core people that I know that's gonna buy this. It's gonna purchase this. So I need to figure out

a way to make sure they keep coming back. You just stay, you just keep doing. Your people are gonna pay your bills, keep the lights on them, come on. Don't sit there and think about, oh, is they gonna fuck with it? No work so hard to you putting it out. You not even work, it's not even on your mind because you working so much. And then it's gonna catch it, be like, oh shit, a mom, I'm gonna keep mashing. You gotta keep going no matter what I didn't, I didn't fail with this shit. I didn't

have breaks to where I had to stop. I had to like just just get my thoughts together, but don't live in that. You feel me like, take your time, but go for it and then stay consistent on your ship. A lot of things that people don't understand is like hard work does be talent. This is the fucking truth. Man, Like nigga, if you work hard at fuck, you can get somewhere. It's a person that's funnier than me that's

in the hood. The only difference is, bro, don't have that that that that passing, that drive to make it happen. Ye know what I'm saying. It's like people that we know that are trash, that are trash and not to disrespect nobody, but you know certain things are trash and they make it because what they work hard. No excuses like you gotta have hard work, bro, Yeah, No, hard

work beats talent every every time. Man, Come on, man, I mean we know so many I know so many of my homies who are like amazing athletes and could have been in the league. Yeah, but they didn't put the work in. They didn't take the ship serious. They was fucking bitches. Are they was partying or they were doing all that? I was like, bro, eliminate that. Yeah, now you're in the Drew League, which is a nice place to be. But like you know what I mean,

what is what's next for you? Man? Everything under the sun? Movies, TV shows? What are you working on right now? Like? Are you working on season two of the show? Yep? I'm working on season two? Growing up in La I'm working on directing like a few commercials for Pro Club. I'm just really just tapping in everything. I'm gonna record music, I'm gonna work on like some animation, cartoons and shit like just I'm doing everything. As long as I got

feeling in my hands and my legs, I'm doing it all. Bro, are you gonna do the music thing from a serious standpoint or you need to try to mix in some of the comedy I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do both. I'm gonna do it from a serious standpoint, and I also gonna give people what they like as far as me because one thing I got an incredible ear for creating those artists collapse of who I want to hear

on the song when I do the celebrity impressions. So I'm gonna give them that, but I'm going to give them who I am, you know, as a music artist. But I'm not doing it to use that to be in the forefront. I'm doing it, putting it out because I care about it. So if you fuck with it, you fuck with it. It's cool. If you don't, I'm not tripping because I'm doing it for me. I'm not doing it for you, you know what I'm saying. So I'm gonna just do everything that God put me on

this earth to do. I feel like videos would be crazy. Thank you, thank you. I feel like if you write somebody, I've just thinking like nobody has done and I'm not I'm not comparing you in terms of like music or content, but like if you think of like someone who's like comedically gifted in their mind, like Little Dicky, Yeah, like his fire, his visuals are literally broken because his videos

were just so good and so creative. It's so funny. Yeah, Like I feel like there's like a lane where like I mean, obviously he's like a white Jewish guy and he's killed it. Yeah, Dave's funny as fuck. Yeah. I feel like if you kind of like did like your own version of that, but not like all the way you know, goofy, but like I feel like your videos could be crazy. No, thank you, bro, I'm working on that. A person that was was doing that in a sense was I think it was the weird Yakovic or something

weird out weird yanked. Yeah, he was doing that shit. We were kids, yeah, and I was like, this dude is like funny as fuck, so like it was on Platinum, just remaking people ship like Gangster's parodic, all that is paradise like so much. It Like I'm gonna go crazy with some shit. I had did a few videos when I did Big Bank Remix. I saw a video to that, and I did YG's in the Dark, and I did

like some other shit. So I'm gonna go crazy with the visuals and then I'm gonna figure out a way to like mix it with like some animation shit to give people like a dope ass feel. What is your take on like the national narrative of LA anytime I'm listening to like certain podcasts, they'll talk about, well, LA is like fucking like the wild wild West right now. It's like grand Theft Auto right now. You got certain people in the LA law enforcement going on TV said,

don't come to LA. We can't protect you. Crime is up. What are your like, Like, what's your take on just kind of like the state of Los Angeles right now. I feel like I feel like it's like a half and half thing. I feel like the city is like hurting right now for whatever reason, we're hurting because it's a lot of like since this, you know, violence and crazy shit going on, and the reasons can be all

sorts of things. But I'm like LA is not that shitty honestly, Like it has its bad parts and it have its bad moments, but you got so much telling out here. You got so much people that that that fuck with you. They be going to the wrong spots or taking these movies and really like mixing the shit up. It ain't all that bad, like all day every day, Like it's it's some cool shit today and a nigga

might trip tomorrow and it's cool the next day. So it's just like it's just like I feel like, in a sense, I love my city, but LA is like kind of bipolar, Like it's bipolar, that's the best way to put it. But it is. It's not all bad, is what people are trying to make it seem to be. It's just certain areas you know you shouldn't fuck around with, like get your ass up out of there, like you you can't go there looking like a meal amongst a

group of niggas that's hungry. Well, I think even in general, like it's pretty obvious right now that like if you're if you're walking in mails or your certain areas, like your shit snatched, So why the if you're walking over there wearing a fucking protect philip or like, yo, what

are you doing? Like you're app like just you know, like you're asking like rob me and then motherfuckers are not doing this money challenge and it's like you're just showing people you're fucking moving around with a lot of liquidity on you. So if they run into you, oh yeah, what's up with that? You just had about ten grand on your ig spelling out some stupid fucking phrase. Well

where's that at? You know what I'm coming on? Yeah, so I'm hearing too, like like like you know, I was talking to somebody who would know or at least you know, semi know that a lot of those robberies and shit, low key is a lot of people who ain't even from LA pulling that ship what because you know, like some of the shit that is going down, it's fucked up. Like Homie's wife who got killed. Yeah his

name is Skipping. But you know, I know a lot of people, a lot of a lot of the big homies that I know were like actively trying to figure out who did that because that was fucked up. Yeah, And you know, I don't think I think some of the ship ain't even from people from LA. It's just transplants out here trying to get it in man. Yeah, it's just I just say, just watch your ass, Yeah,

just move. That's why anytime an artist comes in here and they're all iced out and they're like, yeah, we're gonna go to bowl that night or something, and I'm like, hey, look, man, don't go. You might wanna come on take all that shit off on man, bro y'all need to go back and learn about change snatching season. Change snatching season consists of award shows. What's that shiit? Uh? Memorial Day weekend. Oh yeah, all that shit, bro, you're getting your ass

So what I do is like the days I'm free, I stock up on helic content. I shoot so much ship and then start editing during the week, so I got up to post so every day TikTok. They keep the leading my ship. So yeah, not that much. But like YouTube and Instagram every day.

Annoint yourself head, your chest, the soles of your feet, the top of your head is to allow God to send his angels around you to protect you. And you just pray up yourself because the city is going through so much shit right now and I feel like it's not safe. Like that. You know what I'm saying. So just protect yourself, stay out the way, and just whatever you believe in, believe

it to the fullest work. And someone buy annoint your blessing oil. It seems like something you could just pull up to the corner. Well, you can get like you can get some like olive oil and just pray over and just annoint yourself. Or you can go to like one of those small black churches throughout the city and ask them that, like you can't. I mean, well, some churches might set us something just give it out because it's it's of God. So a lot of people don't

charge for it. But I let y'all, I let y'all know on my Instagram. Will you have I told meant anoint your blessing oil for sale on your ig? No I can't sell that, oh I say, hell no, Lord, sorry, sorry, No, I can't sell it. I can't sell it. But they move it and pull it like you're about to plug it.
