How you feeling. I'm feeling good man. I saw using well my engineer ran into at the seven eleven. I'm out a tap egg. I'm like, yo, pull back up on the show man, I saw you were. You were in La and the Hoovers today. Oh yesterday? Is that yesterday? Yo? That was I went Daddy had

pulled up to my videos too. Oh that was okay, okay. It was in the middle of lad with locker films. You were doing a shoot in the middle of their hood though. Oh they go to the middle of the well. They pulled up, so I don't think it was too far so shit. You know, they have a lot of LA sets that are everywhere. Is there any LA Gang sets that are in Jacksonville, Not that I know. It's a couple of bloods, a couple of clubs, but E ain't big though, Like how it is out here all shit,

yeah the who, there's some serious guys. Shout out to all the homies. Uh. What has been going on with you? Though? Man? I feel like I've been happy to see that. I feel like for the most part, you've been kind of out the way as far as like seeing some I haven't seen no crazy shit going on involving your name. I really like chiller, like get I get everything together, because I really think about dropping like an album, but I'll probably go put out like two tape before that.

But I just been chilling, trying to pull out like more like relatable music, like more like melodic type shit Like That's what I really don't right now, trying to stay away from the I mean, you know, people kind of know you for the option. You know what I'm saying. Are you kind of trying to Are you off that right now kind of sorder? That's always in my life because that's when I live. But condo sort I've been vibe.

I feel like the last conversation we had you were very like, uh, you know, it kind of surprised me how mature you were kind of where your head was involving a lot of that type of energy. You know what I'm saying, It kind of felt like you were over it as well. Exactly do you feel like, like, like mentally you're in the best place you've been in

so far since you've been you know, kind of nationally known. Uh. I wouldn't say that, but I feel like I'm like more like on track because I know, like, I gotta gold. I got people to feed. I got a family to feed, so I can't just be doing dumb shit. Exactly how many kids you got? No kids? No kids? I don't got no kids. Shout out to you. I got I got two. I don't got no kids. Not ready for the children yet I ordered to did, But I just the way I gotta be the right time because these

females be bogus, super bogus bogus. Yeah, did you see the Chris Brown that you know? They just accuse Chris Brown of rape and then the girl after the accusations, like she like tried to go to the police and sue him. Yeah, was in his DM sending him voice notes saying he was the best dick shit ever add So they drop the charges. It's like these bitches are

crazy exactly. That's why you gotta watch to like you mingle with it, because like these females, they have bad intentions when you famous and got status and shit, so they'll play you to the left just to get some money or just to put you in untail. I throw third on your name, man, now, I'm gonna keep it nine point seven out of ten. Like niggas, don't be rapping in these females, bro, that just be like a

come up for them. Like like if I see SLF I'm out of public right and I get into an altercation with a fan, like they just do that to get Like the baby for example, how he get all these lawsuits and shit and it just happened to chopping in the airport and them fan ran up on him and dudes. But you know, it's like that'd be like the Cloudy You got to watch how you boo? That just be coubos That what I see that they be

trying to come up. Yeah, I think unfortunately it kind of comes with the territory when you're when you're in the position you're in. It's like, especially with females, like you said, like you might. You don't even got to mess with the chick. You don't even got to kiss the girl, you don't got to be romantically interested. But if he was in the same room, vicinity room, vicinity party, and you're the only famous person there, like, you never know how that can come out, you know what I

mean exactly. It's just like I think that that's just that's what's kind of unfortunate about today's times. Man. It's like a lot of people are looking for that short nut as opposed to earning this ship the right way. You know, you're telling ship fun ship is fucked up? Man. Yeah, the babies, I feel like the babies. Probably more people test the baby than anybody, And and he keeps winning those tests, he keeps passing those tests with like like

this guy murdered so well, he didn't murder someone. He was defending himself in a walmart and he killed somebody in front of his daughter who's trying to come at him. What I went through in Jasonville, I was defending myself on you know what I'm saying. At the end of the day, we gotta protect our brain. So you can't just certain people ain't going out the same way, Like you can't just walk up on certain artists because certain

artists really come from the streets. And you know what I'm saying, they got a lot of shit at home. They got to make it back to kids, family, mom, dad, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that so something something similar that happened to the baby happened to you. Yeah, but what was the circumstance. I was finishing my last midstape,

love Me like I'm Dead, last call. I was at like a public studio in Jacksonville, and as I was walking out of studio my car, I got shot at along my car, like getting inside of my car, and I shot back and self defense. Like you know what I'm saying. That shit was just another wild ass situation. That shit was all over the news or what ever? Did anything? Did you end up pitting anybody? I made them drop their clip though, and I got grades to like the ekoo, some shit I did see you got shot? Gradsed,

I guess I get shot. Yeah, it's that's that's that's kind of in your hometown. Obviously, Jacksonville probably for us hotter than any other city in terms of just people not wanting to see you you know, do your thing. Did you come out of that situation like what because when you were that close to you know that bullets a foot up a foot to the riot or you know that dude's aims a little bit better, it could be all bad for you. Did that ship like kind of like do anything to you as far as just

changing your mentality or changing the way you think the way. Really, I wasn't even supposed to be at that studio. I got too comfortable and I knew in my head I wasn't suposed to be at that studio just recording. But I was just trying to fit in my midstape for my fans and get it turned down and get a little did to let them hear want like my new sound. You know what I'm saying. But I wasn't supposed to be at that studio on Joshuville. That was really all

on me. Thank you kind of nenw you weren't supposed to be there, You're like, you know what, I left myself? I was. I was. I was sitting here and yeah, I do see that happening a lot. Like you know, I think sometimes when you're from a certain area, you you that's where you're gonna let your guard down most of the time, and that's probably where you shouldn't, you know. That's what happened. Obviously, Dolph was at home in Memphis when when he when he got when he got got

and uh Dad, it's crazy man, damn. So you the cops come question you, thank got it happened in Florida because most states you return fire. If you're in California and you fight and you return fire, it's all bad. They don't give a fuck out here if you if the gun's not registered, if California is just a weird state. Like as far as defending yourself, yeah, yeah, so at least in Florida, there's like the standard ground lawn, you know, you could be like, yeah, I was defending myself. So ye,

so that was the end of that. Yeah, I have after That's the way they had took my gun. I'm finny get my guns back though, but they had took my gun, ramballistics and shit to make sure I was telling them the truth. Man, Good for you, bro. Did you have any idea who did it? Obviously don't tell us, but did you did you have any any idea? I was at a publish studio Sody. Know what I'm saying. A million people come to the studio in and out session before me, sess it after me. So some hop

on the phone, Yo, Julio's in the studio thing. You get what I'm saying. They could be a female or anybody. So I was just like, in the midst of some shit I wasn't supposed to be. Are you like making it a point to try to stay away from Jacksonville? Because I just don't know what what good can come from you going home. The cops ain't fucking with you there.

You got your family or friends. I'm sure the people who matter closest to you are probably with you where you're at now, Like, is there a reason to go back home besides maybe getting a bag or you know, I don't know. I just be like, truthfully, for my brothers. Sometimes I'll just be hanging out with my brothers and shit, yeah about it. My family really don't stay there, my main That's what I say. You took your family out of there, right, yeah, So I'll just really beat there

for my brothers trying to get shit in line. So we all just you know what I'm saying, moves want to get shipped together and ship Is there a certain point where you hit a certain level of starting more success where you kind of say to yourself, will listen to the homies, like, hey, y'all know it's love, but I can't be in the same place as y'all be at anymore because it's just, you know, counter intuitive to what I'm trying to do. Or is that something you're

always going to go back to? Nah, not really, because I've still be in the same places. I just I know certain places I can't be in Jazzville though, Like I ain't finna go downtown like by the police or the police, Like that's dumb. I've just been in my certain areas. Why not downtown because that's where the police like really be real hot hot, Like, oh so the cops out there, like it's like they are they record, they know everywhere, but downtown there like mainly where they

be stationed. Yeah, it is how you move the super Bowl, as the Super been to Jacksonville since you, I mean, since you've been like prominent as far as an artist, I know it's been there before. That's kind of know what I was a little. But it's gonna be a wild time. The next time the super Bowl comes to Jacksonville, it's gonna be lit. Okay. When it was in Tempa, it was lived like they put on for the whole Florida.

What was crazy about the Tampa shit is it was like the pandemic super Bowl and they did it in Florida, so shit wasn't closed. Everything it was lit. Were you in Tampa, Yeah, I was at Tamba. Tampa's a wild place too. I lived in Tampa a few years. They get Tampa and Tampa like a good I feel like it's going to be the new like high When people go to Florida, they just think about Miami and Tampa for going to be the new like state. You know what I'm saying. I've been saying that for a long time.

I think too, just like even like in terms of the Florida city's music scene, I feel like they're next to kind of have a wave because I feel like every other part of Florida, for the most part, is kind of caught on and obviously like there's some dope artists out of Tampa, Taliban, Duda and Tom g and going and on. There's some fire artists out of Florida. Richie West Young Dread. But I feel like they haven't had their time yet. I feel like Orlando, Jacksonville, everyone's had,

you know, has their time. But I feel like Tampa's up next for sure, exactly. And and Tampa's a fucking vibe. Those Warren Beaches and the Warren Beaches on the way on the east coast of Florida. Boy, you gotta think about they got the beaches, they got the casino, they got everything you want. Know, it's a good market for investing in property, Like it just lit, bro, there's a lot of money down there. Are you Are you investing in properties at all? I want to get into it, though.

I just gotta like mingle with the right people. But I'm gonna get into before this over with. Yeah, I think it's a good idea, man, because, uh, the other thing is I mean, look, you got the jewelry right now. Watches are rolexes specifically, A lot of people are saying that they're like great investments at the moment. I was just talking to a jeweler about that today at the gym. Like a lot of hard assets during the pandemic is like shot up, so you ship whatever. If you got

a roller or something like that. That ship probably I got two rolls, but I gave one of my little cousins. I don't know if it if it hurts the value that it's uh that is iced out though, I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, I know they like playing jass, I think, yeah, which is kind of crazy to think about. Yeah, I heard that too, though, would you what would you? Would you rock a plane? Jane like more modest? I mean, obviously got a lot of fucking jewelry on, but I

don't like it. But investment standpoint, I might just get one. Ain't no telling with me the bus that get what I like? You know what I'm saying. This is a new chain right here of your boy, Yeah, with my latest penn right here with baby on my little brother and Cuban. What did that run? You? Uh? This depend at thirty thousand? This we'll get ship fitted Jesus like eighty you pay that all at once? Yeah, just shout

out Ralph. Yeah, wow, that's a lot of money to just you know how like when he was young, you would spend a lot of money on some ship when you were leaving paycheck to paycheck, and it would hurt your stomach and you'd be like you might buy like a new car, stereo or some sneakers, and then when you're get in your car, you're like ship. I still felt like that though I'm cleaning with money, but I had to do it though. That's my little brother, Like, yeah,

eighties a lot. What's the most expensive piece of jewelry you got? Uh? Probably yeah, probably will get the fifty the fifty K guy, heh yeah, a nigga around nigga attached me. Do they do you feel? Because you know what, I see a lot with the jewelers and rappers a lot of times. Man, jewlis be taking advantage of young rappers. I see it all the time too. But you got a certain that like the lock in, like they'll throw

a promo. Oh we do promo for me, right, you gotta work that angle like you got certain jewelers there for a nest too. They're like, that's why when you get there, you got to get a certified something they told me to do. But you just got to make sure you got the right dominic because they means like size and shit all up in your ship. They'll give you flawed diamonds that have that have been like filled.

They'll give you the lab diamonds, or they'll give you like those super low grade cloudy boys, as Little Dirk was saying today. That's what Dirk was talking about when you think about not not the specific situation, but you know, you've obviously had some public disputes when it comes to other artists. Did you see Cowboy go at the Baby today because of the Baby's decision to do a project with NBA Young Boy. Did you see that? I see it?

What I saw, I heard, so I guess the thing is is like a lot of people are mad, not a lot of people. A few people are mad at the Baby for doing a project with NBA Young Boy because NBA Young Boy obviously has problems with OTF and all those guys. And the Baby's like, I'm I'm I mean, I'm kind of an innocent bystander in this thing. I'm gonna work with the Who'm gonna work with, I'm gonna get money with them if just because I'm working with hidle mean, I ain't fucking with y'all. Like, how do

you feel about something like that? Like if if someone works with let's say, somebody does a whole project with Young and Ace. Do you automatically see them as as fuck them or is it like because you don't got nothing to do with Jazzuville stuff that's going on in Jasuville, not unless you like dissant, Like no, it's no disint involved it on money like you do you like you ain't got nothing to do with nothing. That's why the

industry weird right now. Bro, they're making everybody pitside. But it's super weird and it's not it's just not healthy, like yo, Like at the end of the day, like Young Boy and the Baby are both superstars, they want to do a project together, Like doesn't mean like like you said, now if they're if there's some dissing going on on that ship, I totally get it. But I feel like it's an opportunity for a lot of people to, I guess make the shade room because they want to

put in two cents. They know if they say something, they're gonna get on academics. And it's like, bro, like this shit is so unnecessary. It's kind of crazy in general. It's a little crazy, yo. We got to take a break in the interview real quick. Tell you about our folks at my bookie. Man, this is my favorite time of the year to gamble. I love gambling on sports. And if you've been thinking about putting your toe into

the pool, come and join me at my bookie. Okay, right now, we're doing a promotion, and my bookie is crazy.

Let's get back to the interview. I think this has been the biggest like how two pocket Biggie shit was. I think it's the biggest like b for whatever you

want to call it that's going on right now. I know because you got every like, everybody responding, everybody making songs, everybody putting a two cents of everybody picking a side. Is blackballing going on? You're talking about the Dirk, the young boy man, it's so much going on, Like people die, Levan die, and it's just a lot of going on that shit like this, dude. What confuses me is that they're not from the same set either, not from the same hood. Uh. It feels like actual rap beef. Like

it's like, what are y'all really beefing about? Is it about, like you know what I'm saying, as opposed to like, well somebody died, no, no, no now. But even then, it's like Kwando Rondo and King Vaughan are from three and a half hour flight away from each other, Like, what the fuck is like going on? Where like motherfuckers really get to the point where's it gets so disrespectful, blood gets shed And y'all ain't even from the same area. This is y'all wouldn't even know who each other were

for weren't for rap music. Yeah, Like, that's to me the shit that really be. I'll be seeing some of the shit to be like, like, I'm not the biggest young boy fan. I mean, I like some of his shit, but I'm not like I don't like his antics. And sometimes I feel like there's just so much unnecessary negative energy, bro. And you know, I think that's why when you and I talked last time you were here, it was like dope to see you kind of opening your mind to

not being uh. So many people I think when I told them I was talking to you, that was the first thing they associated you with. Yea was that negative ship And you know, to talk to you, I mean, but it's been like seven or eight months later to see you in a better space. It's good. It's good to see man. Even with uh at academic I did the interview at he probably thought I was a fuck up person. He got to meet me he was like you really you cool? Right know? I ain't expect that

from you. Like it just you got to meet somebody and like feel their vibe. You don't never put the judge the person because you know what I'm saying, you get a different vibe when you're on somebody. Oh yeah, really a good heart to do. He got a good soul. You know what I'm saying. You used to feel people energy, that's real. How How how would you gauge academic energy

at cool as there? I expect that to be like how he were like personal person like he was really how you would give me advice on I want to see you alive? I want to see you do this. I want you to He was doing the same thing, and I respect that because you ain't just talking about this all the beef. You want to see me make it as far as like as a man. You know what I'm saying. You want to see me grow. You know what I'm saying. I respect. Yeah, I like acts

come up story. I think that he does perpetuate some of the the negative ship like it's kind of his it's kind of his business. I guess if he's not going to do it, someone else is going to do it, say cheese TV is gonna post, Everyone's gonna But that's this is the industry. It's their job. That's the real ship. That's their job. It's like, yo, like you can't get mad at this person, and I get mad at the thirty eight other websites and blogs that do the same

fucking ship. Yeah, so many people do the same ship. They don't get the amount of negative energy to academic skits. I think it's I think it's the what we saw him every day on every day struggle. Yeah, and we put a face to the blog and it was like, oh no, no, now we know who he is. Now, Yeah, that's exactly what it was, because you know what saw that when he was doing his little Warren Chicago and all that, you never knew who you are? Do you ever do he never did a ward Jacksonville? Did he?

Because I know someone did, because I've seen the shar added to a lot of them. He did a lot of videos were adding to it. Do you ever go watch those YouTube videos because they got millions and millions of views. I think I saw like two three of them were pretty inaccurate, Yeah, majority of it, but they're really just going off of what the next persons said,

what the news saying. You know what I'm saying, someone falls somewhat true, But I just look at it like, all blog shit, how are you in terms of just like making sure like you're staying out of the way, making sure you're staying off the radar when it comes to just keeping your business straight, Like you know, I feel like a lot of times, especially nowadays, man rappers are big targets when it comes to just taxes, law enforcement, whatever it is, Like y'all, y'all gotta tiget on your back,

not only in the streets, not only when you're going to the fucking grocery store, not only all that, but on the other side of the fence too with the legal shit, Like there's fucking hip hop police divisions, you know what I'm saying, Like this is a real thing that's going on, Like Like how how how mindful of view that that's that that's something to also make sure that you're out out of the way of as well.

Ship Like I said, this the way you move, man, you just can't be like it's doing like say, of I know, m how can I put this? I got a I gotta. I ain't gonna even let's go to because I was implicate them. Don't do that. I'm just good to not do that. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. This is not TV. It's good, it's good. Don't implicate anything. I just mean in terms of like like are you like, are you just making sure you're on top of your ship? Yeah, Like if I'll be twelve with somebody, we got, we

gotta be at the same places I'm made. So I'm not done. I don't want nothing to happen ob and I ain't trying to mess up the business. And I know the police watching. So you know, I'm saying, I'm gonna just remove either remove myself in the situation that just get it straight, get down. You know what I'm saying. I ain't gonna indulge in a bush. You know what

I'm saying. Have you ever been in a situation where you made the decision to get up out of there because had you stuck around, some ship might have went down, And you're like, you know what I got, I got failed me to get home too. I got a day. I gotta day to see tomorrow. Plenty of time, plenty of situations, multiple situations. That takes a lot because pride to fuck with you and like, now he gotta leave, Well,

we gonna see him, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and then you can't get you can't get another life. This ain't GTA or a video game once you're dead your dad, bro, So you just gotta that's a mind thing, you know what I'm saying, one hundred percent. And you've seen enough death close to you, man to know that this ship ain't nothing to play with exactly. You know, take take advantage of the fact that you're still here and uh, you're you're you're winning. What about on the

label side, have you because are you still independent? Yeah? I got a distribution to it, create music, try to create. They distribute a bunch of people ship. But that you're fully that for people who don't know that's he's independent.

What about signing? Is that something that you've gotten close to doing or is that something you're like you would consider doing, because I'm sure that the labels have called multiple labels from Gucci Man QC was from the Sun. You want upon a time, I don't know a bit Orlando, I'll pulled to meet with Atlanta, probably like last week, a couple of days ago or something like that. A lot of labels though, but that have made sense to me.

What was the closest, because Gucci, I mean Gucci's I always say Gucci is probably the greatest hip hop A and R of all time. Yeah? Uh, did you like how serious we when it came to maybe getting with with Gucci or QC. I wanted to sign a Guci so bad, bro, but its just not to put the prices out there. I just couldn't sign for a one hundred thousand. That's not one hundred thousand, what's the deal? Yeah, one hundred thousand? And I'm like, I got that time,

motherfucking my bank account, you know what I'm saying? Right, and jury plus you know what I'm saying. I'm like, it was a respectful decline. Yeah, but I still have signed to some but it just got to make sense a lot more sense. Or even if we do like a collaborative feature or whatever, make one off album or something, you know what I'm saying, Like, it just gotta make sense. But far as a full on artist deal, me signing

to you for a hundred hell no, no, that's crazy. Yeah, hell, I would tell you, don't sign anywhere for less than a million dollars because you're making You're making my roy to test some month. You know what I'm saying. You're making good money off off of what you're doing right now. Yeah, and you're you're owning everything. You own the man ship

with p QC. But this one was the ship with you. See, I was dead broke, like, and he tried to give me one hundred and fifty K my face and I was like, damn, I'm just saying, just thinking, like for fuck. It went through and I was talking to the people I was working with my management, but ended up not like going all the way through. So you almost did that one, y'all. Almost. I was close to doing it, but then at the end it was like nah, wow, Yeah, I mean that takes a lot to pass up on

money like that. I mean, and know yourself worse a lot of artists. I think that that whole entire record industry is based on big companies taking advantage of starving artists. And then nowadays, though I don't know if it's just I'm pretty sure ever about to see it, but it's like every time I get on Instagram. I see artists complaining about their label, like, oh, don't sign it is mil Young, I mean everybody. And by the way, we're talking about Atlantic in both cases it is probably to Atlanta.

I didn't know that, but I'll just be sitting that shit down there like every fucking other day that somebody complaining about their label. That'sh It's scary, bro, No, it's scary because once you sign, you can't say I want to put this out tomorrow. It's like, nah, we got to sign off on it, and then guess what your budget is this you gotta pay this. I mean, it's a shitty loan, is what it is. It's a high

interest loan. So like if you would have taken that I don't know the details of the deal, but if you would have taken that hundred thousand from Gucci, you would have probably had to have made a million back off of that hundred for you to start seeing money again exactly. So you would have had to have made that hundred last for a while. And that's that's the

advance game. And most most big artists that we're talking about, you talking about Meek Mill, YG's been very vocal about saw Fred o Bain say something about delp jam right.

So what the the reason why these guys are so mad is because every time they drop an album, they get an advanced check and that's the last money they see from that album because they make it so hard for you to recoup that million dollars every time you turn in your album that you got to make that stretch, or you got to get them that show money, or you got to get that endorsement money, or you've got

to get your features right. Because unless your album is in like Roddy Rich Diamond, you know, like some shit like that, you're probably never going to see any money off that album. And so that's why you see all these huge artists saying fuck the labels. But at the same time, they signed those deals and they and they gladly pick up that advance check when they turn that album in. What they could do is say, keep the advanced take the album, and I just want to get

paid my monthly royalties off the album. Exactly. It's the short It's the long play, not the short nut, you know what I'm saying. So when artists get angry and uh, I don't feel bad because I'm like, yo, you signed. Like some of these dudes have grown ass men. Some artists really don't know. I feel like if you were young and you were super vulnerable and you got to

sign that way, that's one thing. But some of the artists were talking about have re signed many times and it's like, you know this ship so like you you know you signed up for like you signed the fucking paperwork. You got the best lawyers in the music industry. Like they get something that was a problem too. I ain't real to have lawyers like that. You gotta have a

lawyer want to pay. So I'm like, I ain't even to play with And don't let them be like, yo, we know a good lawyer, because then they're gonna fuck you. Get your own lawyer, and yeah, keep running up the bag independently. When the right situation crosses your table, you'll know, bro, keep ownership on your masters. Don't sign no fucking whole ass split because these fools will definitely try to get you to take seven percent of your music. They want

to take your catalog. They want to and they're like, oh, by the way, that independent catalog I create, we'd like to bring it over here to Atlantic and we want to own it. Would you ever sign it like somewhere like an empire, because empire is a situation. Shut empire. I think I own. They sent me like a distribution deal song like that to start off. But if it made sense, yeah, it just got to make sense to me. But just be out here. Just you know what I'm saying.

If I bring, I know what I bring to the table. I know what my numbers do on of course Apple to Spotify the YouTube. I know what I do. So for me to just give up some of my row kids and my on some masters and this and that, they got to make a lot of sense for me. Yo, we got to stop the interview real quick.

If if whu Fulio is the president, how you handling this ship? We need Trump backing that motherfucker. Real shit Trump, I would

have did what I had to do is war. Then what it is you can't just you can't. It's basically like a stortion. You can't just to start people because you feel like they vulnerable or you want to take back over what they got going on. You want no back under your control. So I feel like it's like you playing on on on a week. You know what I'm saying. But I feel like you's finna go to jail for war crimes. I helped You're out that. I saw something like that. So if it were up to you,

But I ain't no feeling. No, but you, I mean, yeah, no, that's dope. You do you vote? No, I don't think I voted. I don't think I ever voted in my life.

had a time to do it. If you had the time, you don't have to have the time. Yeah. What was your favorite part about the Trump presidency? I guess shit he parted l Wye ship and Kodak Black Kodak. Did he part of anyone? Oh? He did, save asap Rocky from uh what country? Sweden? I thought the free Joe is ody damn me or something like that a swear. I thought the same ship. They said that people was

waiting outside. His family was waiting outside for him, and they did not if he would have freed, man, can you imagine the inner the how ill Joe Exotic's instagram would be right now if he was out lit? I know that ship was in Oklahoma, but if that ain't the most Florida ass ship I ever seen in my life that show. I lived in Florida, so I can speak on it. What's show? Fucking uh Tiger King? That ship happened in Oklahoma, but it is that is some Florida.

Joe Exotic is some Florida ass ship, like middle of Florida. Like you've you've you've you've done these shows. Yo, Florida is such a weird it's like its own country. Yeah, because if you get into certain pockets of Florida, it is backwoods, redneck hillbilly ash ship. It's crazy bro Yeah, like keys and pencil colon little towns like Gainesville, Polk County and ship like that. Yeah up up near Alabama. Yeah, you'll get fucked up, right. I went to jail one time,

ride through them a little skirts and ship like that. Yes, Like, man, Florida is his own thing. And then there's Miami. Miami's like the only ship that's like Miami too. Yeah, they like their owner ship and it's a bunch of like rich retired motherfuckers in the South. And then yeah, yeah, Florida is a wild place. Man. Jacksonville they always called Jacksonville South Atlanta, I don't know, or South Georgia, South Georgia, South Georgia because it's it's so close to Georgia. Oh yeah, yeah,

you're right. We like probably like I went thirty form Savannah, so yeah, it's close to Georgia. But I feel like we we we got the number one murderer right now, We got our little own the style of music. It just like we we got the face of Florida right now. I want to call them music in what's really going on in Florida. I feel like I'm I would listen. Drake always taps in with like the young. I guess wave of what's going on in my favorite rapper two

shout out? Has Drake tapped in with like you at all? Nah? He liked one of my posts though, that means he's watching. He liked one of my He's hit to what you're doing shout out? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised, like I feel like, I feel like Drake sometimes will just pick an up and coming artist and be like, you know what, And that's why I wrote with him let Me Change Your Life Realkay a Black Boy JB. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, like ship, like so many artists like that.

I love who to do the same thing too, Who's he too? But but nothing's like Drake When Drake, Now, when Drake is on a record is over change. It changes the game automatically, Gold, Platinum, It's like it's automatically a singles automatically getting played everywhere. So Drake's your your your your number one, top of the top Drake. Who's who fills out the rest of your top five? Nobody? Drake, Drake times five, Drake times five. What's your favorite Drake album? Oh?

Probably take Care? Oh do? I wouldn't say that oh yeah, that's what it is. I think take Care is his best album. Care my favorite, though is Nothing was the same. Yeah, even though take Care is better. Yeah, I ain't gonna cay with that. What's that? Oh? Here is fire words with that on works was on take Care? Right, that'll take You're more of a Drake fan than me. I think it's a cook beats. That was my favorite. I used to wrap out that instrumental like back back when

I was a little shout out to Drizzy. Yeah, that shit was so hard. Yeah that when I first discovered The Weekend, I ain't know. I thought The Weekend was Crew Lef. Yeah, yeah that one I first. Yeah, Yeah, that's crazy A long time that was. Yeah that was ten years ago. Yeah that was a long long Yeah that damn that's ten years ago. Twenty twelve. Man, we're getting old as fuck. Oh gag. That shit made me

think on twenty three I just saw something. There was some ship that just uh there was a fifteen year anniversary for some album and I was like, fuck, I remember when that shit came out. Oh my god, damn, I'm getting that up there. What are you doing in your spare time? Like just to pass the time. What are your hobbies? You play video games? Yeah? I like Call of Duty two. Kay. I saw you fucking with what's the kid's name was on twitch Aiden Ross? Oh yeah, oh yeah, And I got a PC too. I'll be

on dt A online on the PC. Shit and T Grizzly them on the world and ship should be playing in T Grizzly's thing. Yeah, that's it hard, I love that ship. Do you do the It's called role playing, right, yeah, role player. I got a twitch in all, but I ain't been on it lately. I got a twitch too. So when you do role playing on a video game, walk me through this because I played GTA, but I've only played the story mode. I've never played online like

real life? How you are playing in real life? Like I say, if you want to wake up and be a doctor to the day, you're gonna wake up, go do your work. You know what I'm saying. Clock in clock got go check on the medice And it's like basically like real life, but you on your head sat talking. Yeah, you gotta really be into it though, because I saw they like set T Grizzly up and rob them in the game, and I was like, real life. I'm like, why why is this going viral? It's granted, this is

what happens. That's great. They got shipped for late Bertie King. All type of shit on that bed. That'shit hard. Wow, he Grizzy is getting a bag off that ship. Yeah, you gotta go crazy on Twitch because there's money, especially if you're with Aiden Ross. He's kind of like the the Drake of Twitch or no, what's the other guy's name? Ninja? No, Nina, the four you got but Ninja Ninja is rich but a and is the gold bro. Like he had a run and he had every artist in his house doing

interviews on the game. Can we be honest? It was very, very surprising to me that no one robbed him because every cool at everyone was at his house and you know entouragers are there. Hey, just cool as hell, bro, I problem you get around the like, damn you cool at? How did you guys link up? Because that was such a random thing to see he did My people, my dad homeboys. But we talked about it and I gotta understand it, Like he ain't mean no harm or nothing

like that. So was it him like singing along to the song he was saying along, but he ain't mean no harm. He ain't know what was going on, but he facetimed me. We talked it up and then I ended up coming to La. He would like pull up on me, and I pulled up to his house. He had so many security guards and all type of shit, like, I ain't gonna do shit to you, bro. Then we

did the little online screaming. We talked about it is that kind of hard, like when you know that, like there are people who sing along to that record not knowing what the fuck they're singing along to. Yeah, not hard, it just I know you this not your lifestyle, so I can understand you just live to him. You like,

most people don't think the way you think. Yeah, thank god you think that way, because most people are very irrational and they're like, like you said, like you know, we were talking earlier about the ship with the with the baby and NBA Young Bud, It's like, why are people so worked up over this dude? And he ain't got shit to do without it, like this whole situation. Like, but yeah, and I think that's that's a good thing. Man.

What's so you say you're dropping two mixtapes and an album. Yeah, that's what That's kind of what my plan is gonna be. Not the album for show the two mixtapes, two mixtapes, maybe an album and shout out Quavo. He gave me the name for my mix tape. What's the name? I ain't gonna I ain't gonna drop the name yet. Quavo gave you the name though, ye like two three days ago in the club, I like that club shout out Qui. Quav was a good guy. The migos are the I mean,

I think all three of them are super nice. Dude. Yeah, I didn't even know they knew nothing about my music or nothing. Bro. Yeah, I just saw this video Offset performing Rick Flair Drip in a fur at the club? Did you see that video? Cook? And he was like, I was like, Bro, I was like, I was like, this motherfucker is a superstar. I was like that stage presents, stage presents like shout outs of Offset main ship. Who if you could pick any artist that's like more realistic,

obviously you would do a whole album. So just just let's let's get rid of Drake As an answer, if you could do a collab album with anyone, who would be Uh poo, that would be fire polo. Uh, both y'all can rap. See I'm like weird. I do something like Billy Ellis and some ship like that Billie Eilish. Do you listen to her music? A couple of songs and it's a so R and B saying the name Hope. I do song with hope, Billy Eilish, Hope and pology.

I wouldn't take you for a Billie Eilish listener. I can make like a real mellotic type music though likely like a hart Broad type ship though like I could tap into that. There it is. Well listen, I appreciate you pulling up. We're gonna drop another freestyle too, so go check that video out. Uh, new mixtapes coming, new music come in and anything else you want to plug before where we get it out of here. Uh just tune in. Two tapes on the way dropping so on April Bowling
