#175 - Westside Boogie

for real? You weren't flying for real. I was literally was flying. Okay, well, now it was hell uncomfortable. I hate that shit because the fucking uh can I cuss on this thing? Of course? Oh the fucking harness. They put it inside my pants. So for one, it's a dude kneeling down in front of me while my pants is like kind of down. Can you enjoy that? No, you're funny as hell and I'm already and Compton in the middle of the hood. So them was like, oh,

I'm dealing with that. And then it's just uncomfortable like some and like because it's up against you're skinny, and they needed tight. The tighter it is, the safer it is for you. So I'm already like scary about heights and stuff like that. Something put his as possible, So then I had to get used to like flipping backwards

and like my weight and stuff like that. But it just kind of reminds like you're facing Like a few of the shots reminded me of fifty at the super Bowl bent that's far, you know what I mean, like hanging upside down, you know, I mean for a little bit about fifty in a regular video the super Bowl, he looked kind of washed. That's my boy. But super Bowl he was a little heavy when he pulled down, but he wasn't heavy. I just think that's grown up weight. Yeah, exactly,

So you're saying mine look like grown up. Wait, I got you. Anyway, When is your album coming out? Man? It's been a while. I know it's been what three years? Was it? Twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, yeah, twenty nineteen? Oh yeah, soon next one of these days. I mean, listen, you're here for a reason, exactly. You know it's rollout. The album is done. I didn't just pull up right, I mean, you got music out. Yeah, I do exactly

that me. I'm back outside. How many songs on your album? Yeah, asked me questions. I don't even know if I can answer. I'm gonna say twelve to fifteen because I didn't ask you. Everything is like, you know, everything is part of rollo. You know you got to surprise people. But it's is ridiculous. You guys are do an interviews. I know it's fucked up. Man, I love you, bro. What are we doing here? I don't know capping twelve to fifteen? I wanted to be for real, in my brain, I wanted to be thirteen.

But I'm just I'll be like trying to figure it out until the day it's released. I probably might take something out or add some last minute Hell Mary, you never know. Yeah, is it like because I feel like that's like, to me, a nice number for an album. Yeah, And we start getting into like that twenty twenty one, it's like, yeah, it's a little overwhelming sometimes listening a lot to that much music. I once so I was gonna do ten, but I was like, I don't make

them wait three years to ten something. They're gonna be pissed. So how was everything just in terms of like just life. Man, we got through a pandemic, you know what I mean. Obviously that happened. I was in waiting three years for your music, so I'm assuming you've lived a lot of life in that time. Yeah, pandemic was was good and bad for me, like as far as like quarantining because like I had to be in the house, but it also like tested my relationship out I was in at

the moment. We ended up breaking up, which like I don't think we was right for each other anyway, So I think the pandemic kind of made you all break up. Like I mean, it forced us to be around each other. I think it was problems we would have kept prolonging. We probably would have ended up breaking up, but not

like when we needed to. You know what I'm saying, Because if think got it happened before you had a baby or I mean, yeah with her, Yeah, you're right, You're right, you're right, because I do got a kid. But yeah, but it just not with Yeah, it's not with her, So that happened then. Also, just like an artist in my head, I deal with that a lot, you know what I'm saying. I can't lie about that. Then going through therapy and then finally being in a

good headspace, still struggling some days. So yeah, whatep, y'all got to stop the interview real quick to tell you about our good folks over at blue Shoe.

for free therapy. Man, I feel like something that a lot of people are comfortable. I feel like it's starting to become normalized. I love this. Like my generation, I'm starting to realize we're so amazing, just as far as like I look around all my homies's great parents. When I remember us being younger, none of us had our dads, and now we like over like we're just overcompensating for what we didn't have. You know what I'm saying, We

super like dads now. And so yeah, even with therapy, like my home is just starting to be open to it, Black and brown community starting to be open to it. So I think it's dope. What is was there anything like kind of was like your tipping point? Where like I need to go talk to somebody type shit for me. My feelings was just hurt. I was just crying. I

was tired of crying. The opportunity was presented to me from LVRN because you know, they care about the artist's mental health, so shout out to them, and I didn't really want to do it at first. It felt like homework.

Some days it's still feel like class, you know what I'm saying, because yeah, because I've been to therapy that sometimes you get like exercises and DA like yeah, do this, do this and we'll meet next week exactly, so having to do stuf when you leave, and it's like, man, I just want to come here and not have to deal with it when I get out of therapy. So

it's still a struggle, you know what I'm saying. But I'm starting to notice the benefits of it, just like I'm more patient or open to people and like understanding where they're coming from and stuff like do you find yourself like practicing shit you learn like in real time to be like oh this is yeah, just like I get tested still and the way I'm able to approach these situations now and I just react out of like anger or feel like I'm getting attacked when somebody give

me their opinion on something. And I know in the past that's been my problem, is always feeling attacked when somebody go against my way of thinking. Hmm, what were you so sad about? Man? I got dumped, you know what I'm saying. Also, the breakup, yeah, mess me up because I feel like this was like my first healthy relationship. All my other relationship was like based off like trauma bonding and stuff like that was my baby bonding, you

know what I'm saying. Just hurt people. Yeah, just like hurt people love hurt people, you know what I'm saying. So they hurt together exactly. So this was the first time I felt like I had a girl who's like she was open to my kid, like, she was receptive to him, she was at the games with me. It was just healthy and I don't think I knew how to handle that. So I don't think I was a

great boyfriend at the time. But also she had a lot of growling to do, and so I think we just hit our ceiling and it messed me up because I was my best friend. Also, you know what I'm saying, that was the part I didn't know how to like. I was just trying to fill that void because it was just missing. So I was messing with a lot of thoughts and stuff like that just to feel that space. I didn't know how to sit sit at home by

myself for more than a day. I got to have somebody over, but then also don't want them like being cleany or kissing on me. It's just like it's just weird. So you kind of use like a that was kind of like your coping mechanism exactly being a thought being a thought. Yeah, how do you feel like you're over it? Yeah? I still go through days when I'm mad because I feel like I didn't get no closure, right. I feel like what happened just disappeared on your well, it's just

you know, life, her life. I feel like she still have to go through her whole phase. I ain't gonna lie. I feel honestly, it's an important phase to every girl, you know what I'm saying. And I feel like she was starting to grow to resent me because she still had she had life she needed to see. She also a singer, so I felt like I'm not sure she felt supported in all the space of her career, and I got an ego too, so who knows how I was acting or how she was perceiving it. But I

also don't want to hold her accountable. She was doing weird stuff on Instagram, you know, she dating somebody I know now and oh shit and stuff like that. But what was like for you, Like, was there a specific reason why it took you so long to get this album out or do you feel like it was just I mean, so many different things probably ended up accumulating in this I know I could. I'm sure it was

because I was in my head a lot. I'm so heavy on like growth and like making sure my my next stuff is buried in my last project, and I felt like my last project was so amazing, So that first year after that, I was definitely in that bag. When I finally was ready to record again, I feel like I was making the same songs that I did from Everything for Sale because it was my comfort space. So then it was that my managers having to be like, nah, we not doing this again. You're gonna have to find

a new pocket. So being frustrated about that took a minute to get over that hump. Then yeah, I finally got to a space where I had something I wanted to talk about. I also don't know how to draw from fake spaces. I gotta find something something real. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So I obviously don't want this to be my production rate. Every three years I drop an album. So I think the therapy also like opening my mind up to stuff. It's been helping. So I think I'm in a great space now. So you

mentioned LVRN, I mean yeah, I bring it up a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those my managers are great. Shout out to them. Shout out to them. Yo. They have some of my favorite artists, Me and Me and me and me, and I love I Love I Love Black. That's my dog. Amazing. Huh, he's the man. I love Black. Black's like he's like I would say, he's like in my probably top five favorite artists of the last decade. I love Black's new music. Man,

it's coming black season. I just seen you on somebody's story the other day, so I'm way like you, bro. Yeah yeah, we need some new music, yeah for sure, some new merch all that good stuff. What is it for? You know? Cause like I feel like being signed to eminem has got to be a gifted a curse? How how would you kind of perceive it? Because we always hear like, what curse? What do you think is a curse?

I mean, Eminem is you know, he's he's the greatest rapper alive, that is I feel, you know what I mean? So like when people think of Eminem, they think of him being like the goat, you know. And I feel like anytime he signs an artist, it's very much expected that that artist also has to be in that scene. And like, think about he signed you, he signed the Griselda Guys Slaughterhouse back in the day. I'm forgetting I'm sure. Yeah, some other artists. Who else on shady? Yellow Wolf? Who?

Yellow Wolf? Yello? Oh yellow Wolf? Yeah, but that means he's not on shady anymore? Who's on shady? You don't know that he kind had of falling out? Oh my bad? I believe yellow Wolf. No, I don't say my bad. I don't know the place. Royce my dog. But let me just tell you this, I don't think Royce is on shady though he was at the point, come on, wasn't you know better than me? Why shout out to roy is really one of my favorite people in the world.

It's also one of the greatest rappers of all time. Literally, I literally think at any given time he might be a greatest rapper alive. There's like a few of those guys. It's like Royce Black thought, I think Conway's in that discussion. I think when you're at your peak, you could be in that discussion, Emine if you didn't say something towards me. I was about the trip, like no, fuck you. But what I'll be saying is like, I don't know, I never feel it because it's the one I'm competitive, So

it's like everybody's like even playing field for me. Obviously, I respect everything how Eminem changed my life, but you know what I'm saying, I'm still trying to get to where I'm trying to go. So I don't feel no pressure from whatever Eminem is accomplished, because I like that my own goals. And also, it's like this ship I faced in my neighborhood. It's like, once I come to

this shit, it's like it's just nothing. It's like, whatever, what's some little you know, it's a little little not like that's some little white kids on the internet that's gonna be mad. I'm not rapping fast. It's the most, the most. It is a thing, for real, for real, My It's like, from the outside looking in, a lot of people think I don't fit with the shady rosters

stand for. You know what I'm saying, eminem though, you know what I'm saying, I could borrow any given time, and that's not I just don't want to do it all the time. Way you can borrow up eminem at any time, you know what I'm saying. Maybe, but I was just saying, you know, I could go off, but

that's not you know what I'm saying. I'm more so in delivering my message, and if great lines come in the process of that, that's dope, little metaphors and stuff, But trying to get my point across it and make great music and talk to my people. So yeah, don't care about what those shady fans are saying. I love the ship out of y'all. But you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

I was just in Detroit. I told you what Tech nine concert in Detroit, and I saw with my own eyes Detroit white people, like not just normal white people like Detroit white people like you know, like that listened to insane clown possy and stuff, and I was like, yeah, it was just a different different white trash in Detroit hits. You gotta see Australian white trash. I bet you they're fucking different, but I bet you they could survive off

the grid. Nah. It was fired. Eighty thousand people five year olds out there in Australia and Australia at this concert and it was just wild. You opened YEP and he brought me out on his head. That's a big man. Super grateful for that. Nice guy, Eminem, Yes, nice guy. Uh. Sometimes I feel bad for how big he is because he can't do some of the stuff that he would probably want to regular people want to do. So I do see he trapped in celebrity sometimes, but I take that.

You know what I'm saying. I know you obviously wrote on the album, but I just want to get your opinion on this Kendrick album. Man, amazing, it's incredible right to be from Compton. Shout out to that. What was your favorite song on the album? Count me out? Count me O's amazing love at that's right when I right after we listened, I was just the one, I said play back again, did you. I was gonna say, like,

how did you initially listen to the album? Because for me, like we had like premiered it at the radio station, and I was like, man, I don't want to listen to it tonight because I can't give it all the attention I wanted. So I waited until like Saturday or Sunday and just sat with it and my friend made it thing. We it was like my close music friends, like my two producers and a couple other people I respect,

and we had the lights low. I was sitting on the floor with it, bottle champagne and we just played it too. Incredible body of work, and I feel like it's like it's it's it's like the vulnerability from artist's biggest Kendrick, Like, think how vulnerable he is, And that's that's the necessary part. And I'm glad you said that, because that's extremely necessary, super necessary. Somebody that big is still vulnerable and not yeah, and still goes through like

the same random human situations we go. Yeah, because to do this that he opened and talked about it, Yeah, everyone goes through it, but like not everyone in his position is going to share that kind of shit. You helping Summer with reverse, Like, just give me a little rundown of how that happened? Are in dream Team this the play was brought to me by Justice Uh, one of my managers, and I just helped to what I can help with scent it over. You know what I'm saying,

Summer did her thing went crazy? That's gotta be up there, and like, you know, being a kid from Compton, Yeah yeah, I mean, you know what I'm saying. Kendrick one of my favorite rappers in the world. So would you say, because I always say Kendrick is top five, dead or alive. I feel like if you could put Biggie in your top five, you old dusty ass motherfuckers. By the way, I'm one of them. M hm, he's got two albums.

I don't put bigg in my top five, but a lot of people don't like Brian go get it from from Interscope who was here with you? He's an old dusty New Yorker. He's definitely in his top five off a two hours get it though. But I'm like, Yoka, if you get my top five, did or a lot what the effects? And he's probably. I mean, I feel like, if you think of like first and if we're not even we're excluding section eighty. But let's even include like

section eighty. But like, I feel like the only person who could fuck with his first four albums is Kanye. That's a good that's a good point. Facts them first four albums was undeniable because if it's section eighty, good Kid, Mad City to Pimp a Butterfly, Damn, that's for well. I mean, if he takes section eighty out, let's start with this good good Kid, Mad City. Yeah, even ship, not including untitled, which is kind of like his lost tapes. You know I love untitled me too. That was my

ship doesn't get talked about enough. And we got an untitled project from Kendrick. That's some real rap ship. Like NAS gave us a lost tapes, Kendrick gave us untitled. Yeah, he really gave us a lot of music. Who is your top five? That's a weird question, but like you know, it's probably, I mean, it don't really rotate. It's the same ones. I'm not gonna say no order, but I just know it's Lil Wayne, Kendrick, jay Z, tupac Eminem

was the last one. Political. You don't say Eminem. Those dusty white kids are coming for you this at the on the craft of music. Yeah, he might be number one. If we just talk we're talking about ability to rap. It's probably number one exactly. So yeah, my ability of rapping Eminem could be I mean yeah, I mean yeah. Discography you know with agree to disagree? You you like his discography? Discography? Yeah, but I'm not gonna debate you on it either. Yeah, I got you, I get it man. Yeah,

but yep. I love everything Eminem does. Love his first three albums. Everything Eminem has ever dropped is amazing. Loved his first three I thought you were asking me. I loved music. To be murdered by that ship was fire? What's the least favorite one had all his albums? Val was a revival? Was that the one that came out in like where he Was? You know? That's the one he said he didn't like, right, one of them he said he didn't like Listen. I'm gonna say this about Eminem.

Eminem is one of my favorites ever. Eminem Show is one of my favorite albums of all time. I love Eminem Show. It's my favorite m album. I just man Skylar Gray on every fucking album. Oh my god, you're shout out of the Skylark. I'm just tired of Skylar Graham, Pink Hooks, Cooks. I respect that, but I did love Recovery was dope. That was a newer one. I mean that was it's like twelve years old now, but like Recovery was fire and Music to be murdered By was

like a vintage Eminem album. To me, it's because do you know what's crazy? Because like I just missed Like a lot of people used to talk shit about Eminem's production, but I liked it now. It used to be hard to me too, So like all those albums, like especially like Eminem Show, you would hear like Eminem production and you'd be like, oh, but then I feel like he kind of just got a web. Music to be murdered By it was my ship. I was like, this feels

like a vintage Eminem project. That's amazing and not a bunch of you know, ballads. Shout out to Skylar Gray though. Have you met Skyler Gray? Yep, she was in Australia. She was a nice lady, amazing lady. Nice shout out to her. Man was the Skylar Gray man shout out to her and sharing pink all of them, shut all of them out to white people, man, white people in general. Man with your album, like you know, I know you're not gonna give us any features because Shelley on there.

But that was on a single, so okay, yeah that's already out. But anyway, how many rappers? How many other rappers are on the album? How about that? Just give me that? M m M. As of right now, I'm counting four in my brain. If we just say they rap, yeah for the rappers? Yeah, yeah, no idea when the album's coming out or I got idea, an idea I will say in the next forty days. That sounds about right. Yeah, I mean you are making your rounds exactly, you know

what I'm saying. Yeah, what about like in terms of like your writing process. A lot of times, like when I'm in the studio, a lot of artists nowadays, I feel like they do they punch in line by line, you know what I'm saying, And I can't. I don't. I can't. I respect people who do that and imire him. I just can't do that. That just seems so like counterproductive for me. Are you still putting the pen to paper or the notes. Nah, I just I write in

my brain. I've been doing that since ninth grade when my glass is messed up and I can see like the paper no more. But also I just need a trigger word, Like if I'm scared, I'm gonna forget the sentence, I just write a word down in my notes. Oh fire, It's one word, and then I could connect the bar. I'm gonna remember the bar. Oh shit like that? So will you like do that? Like? Like I guess if you get send a pack of beats, are you doing that shit in the studio or are you doing that

shit at home? And then I don't like the studio. I hate the studio. I do everything at home. I literally hate the studio. Why because it's cold, it's people walking around. It's just like I need my intimate. My music is so personal to me. I'm not ready for people to It's only a certain amount of people I trust to hear it. And you record yourself, no, but he with me every day, my producer Engineering Area, one of my best friends. So I can't record myself, though

I definitely send him stuff when I'm just at home. Yeah, when Blast just told us that he recorded Chosen on a Focus right in a road mic at his house. That shit blew my mind. I was like, that's crazy. That's like the two hundred and fifty dollars like package. That's but I did my first project, thirty forty eight I did at home by myself too. That Michael was probably fifty dollars. So I just had to stack my vocals a bunch of times to make it sound full.

I just copy and paste, copy and paste because I didn't know how to really do it. Mix some aster shit, yeah, and I just put it out. So, uh, what in your you know, obviously LA. I feel like it's kind of how the renaissance in terms of like getting a lot more respected hip hop, and you know, I feel like there was like a dry spell, you know, from like man, I was just with this nigga from LA, I mean Atlanta the other day. He was talking crazy about LA and just how we not respected outside of

LA and it was pissing me off. And then it was just like rowdy flopped, where's that at. We don't got him? And it's like I'll be saying it, I'd be one in the world's respect it. But it still feels like we got a lot of work to do as far as, like what I was saying yesterday is out here, they always want to bring up Atlanta and how everybody support each other. The streets dictate how LA move and you know what I'm saying, everybody can't move around each Well, I was gonna say, do you feel

like that? That is because I always say that, like sometimes the pop pics or get in the way of like certain artists working together, or like you said, people say that about Atlanta, but it might not be actually

possible for everyone to move together out here. But I do feel like there is some sort of cohesiveness with some of the younger generation when it comes to like the Rucci's and the One Take Jays, and like obviously nationally they might not be where we want them to be, But I just feel like there's something, you know, the lac and that is thriving. And that's what makes One Take I think will make One Takes you amazing because

he stay true to hisself. He's not trying to gang bang, you know what I'm saying, and that make him able to move in all these different spaces, and we need artists like that that could do that. He could go do work with Rucci and then go work with Blue Face and then just be anywhere he want. You know, I'm saying nobody saying it and nobody saying nothing, and we love them, but it's a lot of niggas. It's a lot of upcoming artists that feel they got to

attest theirselves to a neighborhood. And that's just young black men in general. They gotta feel like they got to do that to feel like secure or feel cool. So then that prevents them from being able to work with other artists because it's thirty years of tension between these

two neighborhoods and you just can't do it. Yeah, it's crazy because, uh, you know, working with Head had had to break down all the politics at LA to me one night when I first moved out here in like twenty seventeen, I was like, fuck, I had no idea. It's sad. It's hell, it's sad. But people from the outside that don't live here don't understand like the intricacies of some of the shit because like we just think of like nationally, you think of LA, you just think

blood's versus crips, Like it's definitely not that simple. No, it's not. It's bloods versus blood this bloods, crips verse cribs. That's the majority of the time of what it is. It's like same, all same now. So it's like and it's like some of the more heavier conflicts are between except you know, crips verse cribs actually son and then not knowing what had to wear in what areas? Man.

I I remember it was recently. I knew somebody that got that got shot and I was trying to support them, and then I had commented on the page like I hope you get better, and then I know somebody was like, yeah, egrace the other thing because you know what I'm saying has something to do with that, and I'm just like, oh, what happened? Man, I'm like, I never know nothing. I'm just saying it dark. So it'd be like that's la

politics for you. Hey, we got to stop the interview real quick to tell you about our good folks at odd Socks. Listen, the most comfortable socks in the entire world, I promise you are these odd socks basics right here now. I like the uh, the high joints, the whites, are the blacks.

Who are some of your favorite LA artists that like are kind of on the come up? You know what I'm saying, Like that you're just a fan of I like Babystone Guerrillas. I like what they're doing. My young homies. I gotta give them a shameless plug. Epic must Die in KB Devine who else I like right now? Asim

a bobster, I think he dope. He's got that, uh, I like doing your move. Wally is from my neighborhood. Obviously, I love Wally. Wally's dope Wally and why yes, I love him. Key Riches three youngest from my neighborhood that I love. And let me see what else out here. I still want to take j but he already kind

of up now. Wally is dope though. Waley amazing, super talented, Like you're really right, and yeah, I feel like he makes records that can really translate, like exactly, and that's one of them artists that like that can move outside of LA and people connect to it. You know what I'm saying a lot of what we got to stop doing is stop making our music just so about like

for our homies. And I used to do that early too, Like I'm just gonna make music for the hood, so when I come to the hood, the hood could be playing it. But then we go out, you want the world to play, yeah, exactly, then you leave it like what the fuck? I mean? That's why Roddy figured it,

you know, they figured it out. That's what I'm saying once once you find the formulist up and so yeah, even when we had that wave of muster and Roddy, I think it was a year or two ago, right, Uh Roddy's album came out in uh December of twenty nineteen, right yeah, yeah, Yeah, it was everywhere, and I feel like that was our chance to like be back in the world and like figure it out. But you know,

we're still gonna have our shot. But it's crazy because you think of the Roddy situation and like how long he took to put out put out his album kind

of similar to you. And I feel like sometimes when you wait a while, you can maybe overthink it and you know it's not it's a real fear, and it's a real thing because the more they it's always gonna be like, oh, you made this this way this long, and you didn't live up to expectations because you're not gonna be able to please everybody, and that one time you see that could just mess up your whole mental state. I know for me it will, like you know what

I'm saying. So it's tough, but you also don't want to oversaturate yourself. You also don't want to rush your product, but you gotta let that shit go. You do. Gotta just let it go and just create and just give it out to the world. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, low key, man, I mean I see. I feel like that sometimes, Like when we think of like we all

know artists, you're one of them. I'm sure that. I'm sure you've had songs that you've recorded in the last three years that you loved, like two and a half years ago when you first recorded them, they probably didn't make the album because they might have been old to you. Yeah, did that happen. No, it still happens. I just had to bring an old song back like two weeks ago because it's old to you, but no one's heard it exactly.

I see that shit all the time. But I'm glad if I left the song for a little bit and came back to it and with new ears and I was like, oh, I was tripping this song slap and that'd be a lot a lot of times too. So yeah. But I also I feel like I've rushed songs out that I was just trying to put music out and I was like, I don't really love this, But then

I guess that could happen all the time. Why do you think you're still so slept on, man, because I feel like you're very slept on, very underrated when it comes to just the conversations of just the best rappers, you know what I mean. Like, I feel like you don't get the respect you deserve. What I notice, I'm super respected by artists. It's like I'm just a nigga that's known in the artists world to like, oh yeah,

not to play with boogie. But it could be consistency, you know what I'm saying, Like dropping more that could be a thing. I hate to turn slept on because I feel so much love, but I get it when people say it, but it's I don't never really feel it. I know I'm supposed to be bigger, but it's slept on always. It's like it's really my fault if I'm not. It is where I need to. Yeah, I think it's just like I feel like an artist like yourself, like I just feel like we just need more music. No,

that's that's where and I get it. So you know what I'm saying. So that's all it is consistency. So that's if you if any artists want to learn from me, learn from me and like get out your head and move forward, you know what I'm saying. And get some therapy if you need it. Even if you don't need it, you might not even know you need it. We all need it. I said, well, I'm talking to black people. I know for sure you got some type of unaddressed

trauma somewhere you gotta be. Have ever done any hallucinogenics at all, like shrooms or any day? And I'm scared of shrooms right now because that shit revealed that I had some crazy shit going on in my brain and I'm not doing it again, so I'm gonna to fix myself some more. I like that. So you took shrooms, and it kind of like I took it was because I was against it like forever. So it was just like last year, I had like a month where I did ascid and like shrooms and it was crazy, very

therapeutic thing to do do it the right way. I saw all my demons, I saw myself, and I hated who I saw. You can change your life low key facts, and I'm damn near preaching like niggas need therapy and shrooms just as much. I feel like every everybody needs to do shrooms once because like you gotta see that shit, Mike, that shit was crazy. Yeah, what about would you ever try DMT? Man? I don't think I'm ready because I

could barely handle shrooms. Yeah, I feel like DMT you gotta be like really Yeah, and what's the other out of Waska ayahuasca? Yeah? Ayahuasca? Yeah, that's like a all day thing. You need a shaman. You need a shaman. You got to like prepare yourself. Your body probably will never be able to come back from that. I don't know, man, I know a lot of people. You know. It's funny because I got a couple of homies that have done ayhuasca and they say it's like thirty years of therapy

in like six hours too. It's crazy, like so much, I can do it. I want to do it eventually. Yeah, I know that they have like some groups in like Malibu and Santa Monica to do it. I like low key want to go to like Costa Rica where it's at that. But I also I'm like free, I'm going to throw up ship on myself. Yeah, And they say you do that projecting or projectile or whatever. No, but shrooms. Shrooms are the wave, like we got to normalized shrooms in hip hop. Man, micro dose, you got a micro dose.

No more perks. Leave the perks alone, the perks alone, and micro micro doose bro. All right, Well, look, we're gonna get album in the next forty days. Forty days, all right, rappers on it for rappers, a singer too, the singer too, singer to it's black on the album. I'm not giving him no info, but also a black man album.
