Gotta be careful. Yeah, yeah, the show. Speaking of uh.

I was in Detroit for about a week, Not for about a week, for an actual week a few weeks ago, and uh man, love your city. Man, my first time there, and we were very much in the hood that we was around. Bro. Yeah, yeah, they get like that, man, honestly, but I felt I didn't, you know, I feel like coming away from that trip, I was like, man, I feel like Detroit has a bad gnat, Like like reputation. Yeah, everybody think everybody think like if you come to Detroit,

we're gonna do this. Really Detroit, man, we love everybody bro loans. You ain't on that bullshit or disrespect in the city, then we ain't got nothing. We ain't got no problem with you. What's one thing about Detroit too? Like all these other cities, like everybody's separate, you know what I'm saying, But like in Detroit, like even if we is separate, the moment you do some bullshit, the one important person in that city, we're gonna all come

together on your ad. That one thing about Detroit, they're gonna stick together on your ad. But I just saw a rest in peace to Hutch, right, Yeah, the jeweler, and uh did a piece I ever got in my life, and you know all of them he uh got someone shot him, right. It was just kind of random what happened. I don't know the story behind that shit, but is fucked up because it's like everybody go to Hutch no

matter who don't know. Hutch was a big jeweler in big jeweler kind of like the jeweler, right, and the number one jeweler in Detroit ain't nobody fucking Hutch like he's the number one Julia, like I used to be in high school. Like, man, when I'm doing, what the fuck I'm doing, Like, niggah, I get some money, nigga, that's who I'm going to. A nigga Hutch, Like you're gonna get your bus from Hutch, You're gonna get your chain from And he a lovely dude. Man, he showed

love and respect. Man. He loved the city, love the city. So the city just took a big loss with that shit. I noticed everyone was posting him. Yeah, man, shit fucked up about that one. Yeah, it's it's so like because we always hear about like this big divide between the east Side and the west side of Detroit. Yeah, how much of that is real? And how much of it is like a little? Actually it's actually back in the day,

it was bigger. You know what I'm saying. You really couldn't get the east Side and west side niggas to fuck with each other like by any means. Now we all fucking with each other. Like me, the east Side, I'm a west Side nigga. East Side showed me so much more fucking little you think I was like from the east like like my Nigga lou Viz Pas Danny ship in the list go on with the east Side boys, Man and Bayface Ray like they all taking over right now too. So it's like they putting on for the

city too. So now it's like we all understanding the assignment and we coming together and niggas understanding, like it's not no real beef. Now, if you got real beef behind that ship, then people leave that alone. But it's like if it's some she he says, she say, well, nigga, fuck cho bitch, nigga man, were looking over that. Man, Come on, man, fuck that bitch. We about to make this hit song and we're gonna stunt on that hole.

Cause it does feel like right now, the East Side has a lot of the big more bigger artists nationally. But I felt I feel like early on, like we think about uh, you know boy, those are all West Side guys. So I feel like it kind of And I was talking to I figured who was telling me that the West Side is more like the player ship. I give it to you a breakdown west Side West Side niggas. You have some of the West Side west Side is more flashy meaning as in and it's different

now because we everybody getting everybody's getting money west. But back then it would be like a West Side nigga, go spend all that money on this outfit that look good for the holes and go out that day. But don't it's broke as fuck. That east Side nigga gonna have that that jogging shoot on looking dirty is here with that bank roll. Nigga hustling, You know what I'm saying. East Side got a lot of hustling niggas. Both sides got the hustle in it. But now it's like we

are just getting to the pape. Now. What I did eat was we went to a bunch of different restaurants out there, but this uh Coney Island thing. Yeah, we went to like three or four of them, and I was like, man, this is some real because they're like, you gotta you gotta go to a Coney I go to you gotta get a Coney dog or some city tea five chicken Peter. What was the name of that place we went to. We went to a few, but there was one that first day with the drive through.

It was on eight Mile. It was right by that liquor store anyway. We Yeah, so I got the Detroit Coney, the hot dog, the Detroit style Coney or whatever. But just in general, like the Coney Island thing is very much like they got breakfast. They got everything, omelets and the whole. They got literally whatever you want. And the hoes love it because imagine they open all day. So when you leave them from the club two in the morning on that weekend, man, that line filled the funk up,

like bitches want chicken peters, motherfucking snacks. I got clubs, sundwiches, they got anything you can, fucking literally everything everything on the menu for shure. And then like we went to uh, I think Papa's Papas that's on the east side there with sad Baby and I had a they had cake. We had cake there. We had a goddamn patty milk. And I'll see if you should have run you on the west side when you you should took you the fat boys a crab house, that ship land like that.

You know where we did go. Baby trom took us to a place that's like a Uncle Joe's something Joe's. It's like it's like raisin canes. But the Detroit style of Raisin Knes. That ship was so it was on the West side. That was kind of like birds. Yeah, it felt like it was like kind of by the airport, low kid. It was like okay, yeah, yeah, it was nice though. And then we went to Original Pancake House. Okay, yeah, that ship was yeah, yeah, we got some ship man

with Detroit. Man, it was a vibe for sure. Love the MGM there, man, Yeah, MGM is nicely in one of Vegas. Man, what maybe are type of ship going down? You would see a whole fucking fight breakout right then and there niggas get knocked out one like it ain't even happened. Like that's just Detroit for you, and just beautiful black women everywhere show we do. We definitely got some beautiful black a woman. We got them. Everybody know they and they pop out when it's time for a concert.

See right now. They popped out because it's summer, so you're gonna catch him downtown Riverwalk all that. But like if you got a motherfucking little baby, a little boozy or somebody come in the city, ooh we all you gotta do is just dry on time. I'm telling you. Listen. I went to a Tech nine concert, and that was not the type of people that there's a lot of fucking white trash and that there's some crazy motherfucker's in there.

He got a crazy thing. Bro. Now the Tech nine show was very much a different type of Detroit white trash hits different Bro, Yeah, yeah that's crazy. But I used to check watching that concert, I fully understood eminem Now. I was like, this is where these are his people, this is yeah, they ain't take you down a mile. I went there myself. Oh yeah. We went to the trailer park and everything like ship, this ship is crazy.

I went to trailer park and that ship was real life, Like damn, this w grew up in this fucking place. There was like some lady outside watering her water, watering her dirt. Mother fuckers be tripping. Get all my ship. Bro, that trailer you've been in that trailer park. I ain't been in there. It's maybe because I'm from there. It'd be like, man, I ain't No. I was definitely, but I definitely fun with him. Trick Trick shout to the shot g. Trick Trick was in he was not in town.

I reached. I was like, man, I gotta hit up Trick Trick. If I'm coming to Detroit, I don't want to be one of my No, no, no no, it doesn't do the trick. You gotta hit up me. Well I hit you up as well. Yeah, but no, Trick will tell you he gave me that are you? Are you the new key? The key? The key finding of the note fliers on. But I don't, we don't, we don't. We don't push it. Like you know what I'm saying, it's on documented that Trick. Trick could tell you itself.

I actually got a documentary with him telling telling them how you gave me the kids to the city. But it's not on know, like a nigga like running city like it's like it's just it's like I'm a gate founder of Detroit. Like the motherfucker can't overlook that. The young especially with the young crew, I'm the nigga who wrong everybody to the city like they very first time. I'm bringing them to the city, making sure they're straight, they get hung, they get to their show and have fun.

That's all it is to it, man. But now it's like, you know what I'm saying, We got the East sand West that's doing their things, so you know, everybody can bring anybody in, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's because the origination of the note fly zone. I think it started to get kind of more national attention when the Rick Cross thing happened at the radio show. And that's the thing, like people was taking you know, trick message wrong, Like it wasn't no no hate and shit.

Like he was just saying, like, nigga, if my city can book y'all because y'all always come to the D. We always give all y'all feet at y'all won't if we can do that, bro, show lord to the city, show lord to the artists. Stop just coming in and coming out cheating us like we some whole ad niggas because we used to get overlooked. You know what I'm saying. Now, Look, everybody want to come to the D. Everybody want to wear buffs, Everybody want to be the part of the

culture of the Detroit. Everybody want an artists Detroit on a songs. No, That's all we were trying to do is push the message like don't overlook this is kind of crazy, Like you guys definitely have I think it's Detroit or Memphis in terms of just the show and hip hop definitely right now is Detroit and Memphis definitely and you can't overlook that?

I fuck with his brother when he was in high school shot the baby Vezo was going crazy. Yeah, it going crazy. That one forgot the chips. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't even figure that out. Inside sink the post with you and him with the chips. When you do that ship and they go to the movie. Man, that's

some smart marketing. Ship bro. Yeah. We was to hang out with when he was shooting the final scenes of his movie acting and ship. Yeah yeah ship man. You I remember. Man, it's crazy because like I remember when he was on Motown and they just did like they wanted to do any right. Yeah, soon as he got released, he started vision. You know what I'm saying. And I ain't see his vision and I'm not looking at him. You independent he taking over doing the more fucking thing

running it up man? In fact, what is it about Detroit? You think that like it's finally, y'all's time right now, because it feels like finally because you guys have always been active and always been doing your thing, and there's always been a scene there. But in time its commercial timing. Yeah, that's all it is. And I look at it like this, it's perfect timing right now. Like if we would have got it back then, it probably would have got watered down.

Like you know what I'm saying, It's better now. You know what I'm saying, Like you got the Flint Rappers, you got yeah, shout out to Flint Real. You know what I'm saying, You got all them. So it's like all this ship going crazy right now. So it was it was just timing, bro. It was because we've been had it. Like if you really look at everybody who popping now, it was a time when they first came out, they was popping like right now like me, I'm working

my ship back up. Like when I first came out, my way was so big, I ain't know what the fuck to do with it because rapping want my dream. And then I'm like one of the founders of the drill scenes from Detroit You got dicks and yeah, hey Jordan's and then it go me deep pots. You know what I'm saying. We the we, the motherfuckers of the drill scene. Like now I'm doing all type of music, but that's what we was fucking with. What happened to your ig man? Heartbroken? That's that's an RP date. That's

August twenty fourth. I never get that because you were dming me and I didn't even know. I didn't see it because it's just and I hate that ship cause it's like I be dming, I be dming all the people, man, and it's like I can't get mad at him when they overlook you like like me just follow me, and he unfollowed me. I'm like, man, what the fuck is you on? He like, snap, I thought this shit was fake, Nigga, this this show pays. I'm like, yeah, cause I just vanished.

I don't know. I guess when Instagram had that disabled when they was taking everybody's ship and they ended up taking minds. But I literally didn't do nothing like it was. It was just crazy getting violated hing man. I wanted doing ship like my violations came from Instagram first, when the guns and all that. You know, I ain't post guns in years. I don't do that shit no more. So like for them to just take my ship down, it was just like, yeah, you bullying, you're going against

I'm like, what are you talking about? My last post was me giving book bags out to the kids. Shout out on my brothers. He was giving the book bags out to the kids to go back to school before my fight, and they took it. I got Freddie Gibbs has had ten Instagram pages in the last year. They took his official one down and he just keeps making news and then I can't keep doing that. He a trooper. I ain't even think he's I think he's just throwing

the hat in. I think he's just like I'm on Twitter, bitch, like like I ain't gonna lie that, and that's shit. Hard bro. I had almost a million bro like and I worked. That was my core fan base right there, Like so just to get that ship snatched away from you, like you can't be hard like that ship was you God damn Jerry Snack. You know what the jewelry, Yeah, you can go fucking nigga up or prevent a nigga

from doing that. You can't do nothing, Like it's just you can can you can you get like like will they like reverify you or because I'm trying to get reverified right now, because it's like at this point, I don't even give I ain't even tripping about the page no more. But when the page got took, it was doing my fight. So I was stressing and I'm thinking like I'm like, damn bro, like I'm fucked, like nigga,

I gotta start back over. But then I really set to myself like now I don't have to start back over. Everybody in the world, everybody in the industry. I ain'tna say everybody in the world. Most of the world and everybody in the industry know who Snapdog is, right, So it's like I ain't no new artists. I just gotta they gotta find me. So now they just all finding me back. And now I gotta get the blue check because it's a lot of fake pages of me, so that blue check don't let them know that it's me.

So you I feel like you had like I think I might've fuck. I think I reached out to you in like twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, probably twenty eighteen when I first saw you start to kind of like pop up on my shit, and it felt like you kind of like there was like a period in which you kind of stopped dropping music for a little bit

two years. Yeah, So what happened? I just basically, I just I had to learn the game, man, cause it's like, like I said, I was getting so my wave was so big, and you feel me, I'm dealing with all these features and all this. I didn't know nothing about shit. Like before I got linked with Empire, like I really was just I linked, do a song, we do the video drop it. I didn't like I got shit with a little baby, the shit with even me and Dirk. I never put none of that on album music. I

didn't know nothing about those streaming platforms. All I knew was just just shoot a video. I'm a street nigga right rapping with my drink. All I knew shooting video drop that motherfucker and that motherfucker go up. You feel me. But then when I got to learning shit, I'm like, oh yeah, let me shit back and learn it. Then at the same time, I was in a boxing ring, too, you know what I'm saying. So like I had to get focused real quick, but I never started working though,

Like I stayed in the studio every day. How serious okay for people who don't know, cause you from a surface level fans perspective, I know you're not threatened, But you've called out any rapper to fight. Ain'ty rapper. I don't give a fuck who you were. Any rapper that you ever see threw some gloves on and hit the miss ain't ain't gonna say rapper, any celebrity that you see through some gloves on in the midst, I said, come on, let's set the fight up. You can't say

don't nobody know, snap dog. You can't say it ain't gonna sell out like it's going to sell out. So how how uh? I guess? Like, how serious did your boxing career actually get to? Like the highest point that it actually Oh, I'm actually the first rapper to ever in history go pro. I'm actually a pro fighter, which is my hand's license. But the thing is is I did that first pro fight, knocked his ass out in the fourth round. It was a good fight, one no

easy fight. People see the video and they be like oh, Snap, you was fighting somebody who was If you was at that fight, you knew like that wasn't no easy fight like I had, nigga, the room was so sold out, like so the baby was there too. The room was so fucking felt like people were scared. People were like, Snap, you had me nervous for a minute. Bro, you was letting him hit you. I'm like, bro, it's boxing my nigga, Like y'all can't look at me like Floyd nigga. You

feel my checkers miss boxing. But we got to knock out or whatever. But that shiit definitely is serious because you gotta you gotta tune in and tune everything out. Bro. Especially I didn't go fight somebody off the street or a week motherfucker. I know I can beat I wouldn't to go fight an undefeated motherfucker. Since you're pro. If you fight someone like a street fight, can't no, I

can whoop your ass. So they won't like they won't look at you like you're you're fighting somebody with deadly weapons. Well no, you're putting your hands on me. I don't know. I get to defend myself for sure. You should get in in a spar with d smoke whatever they want to do. Bro shit gonna make one who that's that? How big is he? Bro? He's shorter. He's like, uh, he's probably wider than you, Like he's more probably how much you weigh Like I'm one twenty three. He weighs

more than you. He probably wets like one fifty six. Hey, no, they not. My coaches wouldn't even let me do that. But I mean, just just just a spar spar for fun because he's a good guy. You're a good Definitely, we definitely just he just bought him and g Perico just bought uh the Broadway boxing gym in La No. I definitely we just spawned. We do that all day. And then everybody that I was in I was training with for my fight, he wanted to fight a He was talking about, Man, I want to fight DDG. He's

like yeah, because he smoke's like you. He's like like he's been boxing for like twelve years or some shit. Seriously, he's like been around the world in box. I ain't gonna lie like if Schmoe should go out to Jake Paul DDG, it ain't no, no, no, no, he wants to. But you know, I think Jake Paul's trying to fight fucking you know, Floyd Mayweather. He won't Floyd. You know, that's a good payday. It's a good payday. And then you can't you can't blame him though, because he came

in one year may Well forty four million. Bro. He made more than with the fuck real boxers. The thing about Jake Paul is he made people pay attention to the sport again. Sure he gave he gave boxing a bigger light besides Devin Haney Davis. Even even those guys like generic like people on the street, they don't they don't Aboutjavonte Davis. You know what I'm saying, Like they you kind of a boxing fan to really like buy that paper as opposed to like Jake Paul. You're like, yo,

ship this guy. And I went to one of the Nigga fights. Yeah, I actually brought my brother out Montana. He had a knockout on that card. To his life changed after that fight. When I say, bro, I brung him out on television, I'm bringing him out to the ring and I'm performing my song and when I just walked out when she throw the fucking people, Bro, I'm like, man, this white smartest fuck like they was going crazy. At least he's taking it serious. No, he do take That's

one thing. I've been in his crib. You know what I'm saying. Shout out to Jay his barber, Like, man, he got me and Jake close, and I've been in his crib. You know what I'm saying. And that boy take he take that ship. Here he training three times a day. So I'm saying, be different. If like he was just like playing around with it, playing around or like boot gang or yeah, like I knock his ass out, he keep running for me. Bro, he he what's his name, God,

John Gobona, That's name her father. God. I sent his ass right up there with a knockout for the show. He keep running from me. Man Like, man, I call all these niggas out, Bro, you fight blue Face. Yes, I would fight blue Face, and I fuck with blue Face and what like, I'll be at what studio. You know what I'm saying. I got communic with True Court at my boy, I'll fight blue Face on some ight. Let's just make the bad nigga studio. We can straight to the studio after that. You know what I'm saying

I knock ass out. But one thing I can say about blue Face, he can reach. From the beginning. Now that shitn't mean ship to me. From the beginning when I see him fight to now that he's training, he got way fucking better. He got way better. He learned that. He I see that he learned how to work his jazz because he got reached. He know how to keep him. Motherfucker. This is me. I'm get under that. You gotta keep his distance from all him wild bitches. He be surrounding

themself going through some ship. I'll be like, no, I can't even. I can't even with the mom, with the toothless girl, the mom and the sister. Then she get in the face headed on, like I ain't gonna I don't want no ship like that. Bro, Bro, I don't want that. Bro. She strole this car drive across the country and you took her back, and then from what I think, she cut herself and then wrote her name on his wall with her blood or some wild ship shorty shorty out her ship. Yo. Yeah, Like I don't

want that. That's like that's somebody that never leave you alone. Mind you, like a level of crazy like that the draws gotta be insane, insane, but I don't want that. What hell, No, I'm running. I'm running from that ship, bro, any more to do like that? I got to run. I don't like that toxic ship. Bro. I don't speaking of toxic. I mean you do you have a lot of children? Yeah? How many? How many kids? And how many baby mamas? Damn? And I don't got baby mama, drum,

you don't have any because I ain't sucking them. Booth having that problem because he's still fu well that's what south Side. I just had south Side last week. And you know he's got four baby mamas, one of those young Miami from City girls. And he was like, I said, what's the key to co parent? And he says, don't

fuck your baby mama? Fuck them, bro, because when you fuck him, you you you reactivating that goddamn feelings feeling and it's like, nigger, your baby mama's gonna They already know, they can they know you, They know exactly who you is, so they know what type of buttons they can push and they take that ship. Any of your baby mama's friends with each other, all of them is they all get along because at the end of the day, I

ain't fucking y'all. And at the end of the day, like something happened to me, y'all gonna make sure my kids, and you know when you have those kids, you want to make sure all of them close with each other, all my kids close. Like it'd be funny because I like sometimes like back then, I used to have to go, like I got like five cars, so back then I used to have to take both of my cars. They go pick all my kids, like I have a boy drive one driving one. Jesus. Now we got enough seats.

Now we got drugs, and I gotta get the fucking third row. Gotta get the that third row. Gotta get it to the point they even said, I remember one time my daughter like she want to go to Disney World. I'm like, all right, we're gonna go. She's about, how you gonna feel this all in your car? Yeah, but no, no, it's a blessing, a sprinter just for the kids. It's a blessing. Man. I ain't gonna lie, but my kids.

It's what keep me going and keep me motivated because if we want for them, I probably would say fuck life. I'll definitely be in jail or probably you know, in some other situations. Yeah, definitely give me something like, uh, because you know you're you're obviously out here in LA now, but uh, what is the politics like when because obviously there's crips, there's bloods in Detroit. Are the politics as because out here they're pretty intense to get complicated? It ain't.

It ain't like it ain't like the Detroit ain't. That's because this ship originated from there. So most of the motherfuckers that do gang bang out there, they is cordial ship. And then a lot of you got a lot of these motherfuckers who they saying that they this and that, and they really like false doing that shit. But when you come to LA you're gonna have that, right motherfucker who going you know what I'm saying, gonna chick it and make sure you is and if you ain't shit,

you're gonna have a problem with that shit. See me Detroit more really more so about hoods, the blocks. So like I'm from Westside, I'm from Plymouth, which is pe Rock, you know what I'm saying. So that's my hood. Like it's not no gang thing or nothing like that. Sure, people used to think I was a Hoover or whatever because I wear orange and we had an orange flax like my watch. But we wear orange from my twin

brother who passed away, which his name Bronco. He like drinking orange pop. So we wear orange to represent him. And shit, real name Bronco. So the Bronco logo, that's what we got. And it's like shit, like even out here, like people in La like they respect it because they know, like this behind a person, this ain't no gang shit. He ain't doing none of that. He represents his twin brother. And who wouldn't do that. Of course. I went to a store on the west side, the liquor store that

had pizza. Hm, there was a pizza in there. Chicken. It was a giant liquor store. Yeah, chi chigg. But the best part about this store, I've never seen this before. They had the bootleg weed bags. Hold on yo ship. No oh, you're talking about just the boot leg No, like the fucking the boot like you could buy each bag was a dollar like you know that. You could get you a cookies bag againy peyton bag run the liquor store. They just got the in the back corner.

There was just like Detroit home with a hustles. You could buy any weed bag and put whatever funky ass weed you got it in. I like it is that, but do niggas No, you know, I don't smoke weed. I don't do that. You know what I'm saying. I don't do ship. I don't smoke on trunk. I don't pop no peel, don't do nothing. Shout out to you like nothing at all. You don't smoke. I don't do ship. Did you ever smoke? I don't even smoke the blown snoop that ship put me down definitely, Like I'm like, hell, no,

I can't. I can't. I'm king energy. I came off fucking beat. I'm trying to. Yeah, I can't do that on no damn blunt bro.

But I'm shooting at a bando crig.

So I get to shooting the gun and one of the nervous called the police like on some slick ship. So we all out there with the gun man. All you see is because like I always had people on the corner, they're like hook hook hook run everybody else run like and the police came and it like cameraman caught it and that ship went. So you shot out because in Detroit there's a lot of a banded houses. Yeah, yeah,

it's crazy. The only place I've been to that reminded me of Detroit, just the way it looks and as far as just like how the houses are, how there's like empty lots. Yeah, definitely Buffalo, it's definitely a lot of band thoughs like you have some like my hood. We call it the ghost town. At first, that motherfucker used to look pretty. But then when they thing got the falling, what do you think, like, what was it

that happened that? Because I like obviously, like you said, I'm sure where you lived before it was Yeah, active people were living there, you know what. People just it's just people losing their jobs. People can't afford ship like that.

I don't I don't know. I don't be no police cars, so I don't know how acqua that shit is. But they be knowing because there been times we'll be on the block and my homies they got cpl Like, I make sure they got them bitches, so we good. They'll pull right up, they jump right out, and they already

That's like, I ain't gonna lie like that's my top tier work, that's my best work, you know what I'm saying. I got zion bone producing MK we got a show out man, we got Hollywood. That's that's doing the beat Man. And it's just it's just that tape right there. It really

upten it. It's really opening a lot of doors up for me right now because everybody was so skeptical about all he do is yeo, Like all he do is yeah all day and rap about drill music. But that right there, I actually show my versatility, like no, I can get on Yeah. I mean, I told you I heard a lot some of your undersea stuff when you were working with the Ethica guys, and it was way different than the ship that you probably don't. Yeah, And like some people like people be asking me, like what

type of do like? The type of music do you like? Mo? Like I like doing the like one thing about snapdog When you hear snap DOGG, you get doing here about murder, you here about pain. You know what I'm saying, what's going on in a life, or what I'm seeing or what I'm hearing about, or what stories that my people's bene been through. I put it to where I can understand it till other people can related. But that's one thing that you always I'm not the I'm not the

barfootball rapper. I'm not the motherfucker who gonna have you twerking. You know what I'm saying. For the bitches, you know what I'm saying to live too. I'm the motherfucker who you want to go whoop your baby daddy ass, or you gonna go whoop a nigga ass. You know what I'm saying. It's gonna get you turned. I'm about I'm all about energy, bro, Like I tell a nigga all day, you got out rap me, I ain't tripping. I'm about energy, my nigga. But if you get on the same stage

as me, you fucked. If you go on to show and I do it, go on to show, you're fucked. And I knew that I couldn't be fucked with when Men Designer was on the same stage, not out did that nigga. And that's one nigga who got some innergy God, I remember people do. The singer tossed the mic in the air, man bro that motherfucker gee gee, I'm what man like the nigga. The nigga did it show and ran out the front door of the building. Bro like it was a sold out event. He ran through the

crowd and ran out the dope. I'm like, bro, what the fuck is he on? Like, oh, Nigga, I had the top that Nigga I jumped off off the shit type boy he fucked up. Nigga ain't offer for me. But yeah, I'm all about king energy man. So it's like I just dropped taking though chances out new Instagram Snapdog Underscore twenty seven. I'm about to drop Murdering Pain mixtape, and then I'm gonna come with im my Brother's Keeper album after that with the documentary, just keeping the foot

on the gas. Yeah, how inspirational is it to see someone like Icewear who kind of like went to a major label and it like he got out. Obviously, I remember before he got locked up, you know a lot of dope boys from Detroiter and AZ So when I be DJ in the clubs, I play like mys like money phone shit like that. But then he got locked up came out. The Motown thing was probably detrimental to his career, even though it should have been. They didn't

know what they were doing. But like, since he got off that label, he's really kind of put his head down and just been on his ship, like it's real.

It's real, dope. I think it really. I think it's it's definitely, you know what I'm saying, A good thing to see that man, dude, he do because it's like, and I think Vez learned more when Viz went to jail, when Viz was able to have that time to himself, you know, and reality check to see who really with you and all that because we have we don't have talks about this shit, and it's like, you know what

I'm saying. Once he did that and he came out, he was like he was better than ever even with the label trying to do that, and then he going his own way, he went bigger because he had a vision, you know what I'm saying, and it was just tunnel vision, like you I realized, man, Vez, Like I be, I've been in the game with seven eight years, and I'd be like, bro, I ain't where I want to be,

you know what I'm saying. And I look at motherfuckers like Viz, like Vez been in the game when I was in high school, and you know, and he just now getting his real push, you know what I'm saying, And it's like, bro, don't ever quit, don't ever quit. Don't ever give up, bro, because that you quit, you might have your breakthrough, you know what I'm saying. So you gotta keep that shit pushing. And he really like

a motivation for real. Like my first mixtape, you know what I'm saying, Viz was posting my ship pulled up to the studio all that as when I was a young nigga. You know what I'm saying, When I was with my producer and beats, and it's just like at that level, like you know what I'm saying, you didn't have to do that, bro, and Vez always showed a love to the nigga bro from the Jump the whole East. So the rest of the year, we're getting two more projects.

Yeah y'all, No, y'all getting more than that. Man. I'm dropping every motherfucking week, every Monday, when day depends on what day i'm feeling, I'm feeling height, I'm dropping at least a video or a song, you know what I'm saying. And that's one thing that I had to get back doing, cause it's like one thing about Snap. I stayed consistent no matter what. You always seen me somewhere moving or you always seen me on the internet. Dropping something any of that, and that two year break, I kind of

slowed down. So it's like, at the end of the day, it's so many fucking rappers were dealing with nowadays, like everybody, everybody waking up rapping and everybody. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of talent on her. So you could in competition with a lot of people. So who who the fuck you think you is to drop once or twice and think you about to get somewhere. Hell no, when you got niggas like Gucci, you is dropping mixtapes back to back, and it's like, bro, you're in the

competition with a lot of people. So it's like you gotta realize people gotta grow. They gotta grow with listening to your sound. Like and that's the thing about music, Like music is so creative. Nothing. You ain't got to be no buffer but rapper. You know what I'm saying, Be creative with your shit and let them. It's a crowd out there that's gonna understand your music. I just think you gotta relate to people. Man. Yeah, Once you relate,

the motherfucker's just like that's how I am now. Like motherfucker used to be like, oh you Yale all the time. So I'm like, at first I used to get mad. I ain't got me fucked up. But then I'm like, nah, let me kind of little down a little bit and see, and it actually worked. It actually worked. Like you got some motherfucker fans who just like she's never want to hear you turn, and then you got some fans that's like,

oh man, I can ride to this shit. Bro. I see the growth in you because my fans they grow with me. They seen me from no motherfucking change to change to motherfucking sitting on the block with guns to doing fucking videos out here in La and all they

seeing the growth in me. And it's like I'm at a point like right now, like features I do, features like I got, I got, I got, man, I got some of the biggest features in the fucking world, like some of the biggest artists right now, I got features with And it's like, at the end of the day, feature ain't gonna do it for me. It's me that's gonna do it for me because the people want to hear me. You know what I'm saying that, yeah, that the future is good, But at the end of the day.

I ain't got time to be chasing a nigga around getting nothing clear. You know what, even though I never had that problem, but right now, I'm really in confident in my music. Now. Back then, when I was rapping my niggas, it'll be like yao yo shit her, I really was like, all right, it's cool. It's cool. Nah, I'd be like, man, you got me fucked up. This is real. This's real music right here, bro, Like I'm making real music and it's timeless music now. You know

what I'm saying. I ain't scared to talk about certain shit. I ain't scared to take that that route. Like you got some motherfuckers who just want to talk about like Detroit, Detroit knowne for talking about bus ROLLI fucking holes, don't. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about busting your motherfucking head, you know what I'm saying. Or I might talk about some pain shit. Nah, I'm not a flashy raper. I talk about yeah, nigga got that I get on.

That depends on I match the energy. Like if I'm on a song with Viz, like we might go back and forth talking cash shit and drill shit. You know what, I'm saying on the song with Peasy, I might just come straight on my smooth boss shit. You know what I'm saying on a song with more fucking light savings. If he was like a king vine, now I'm about to get on my snap shit, you know what I'm saying.

So that's how that's how it is. A lot of people ain't think I can do that when they get in the studio, they think they gotta make a kill drill song. I was like, Hey, no, nigga, what to be? I can do anything, Nigga, I could do it, Nigga, I love rock and roll, like I fuck with rock and roll. Nigga Back, Lincoln Park all that, like Jesus n terrible shit. You tripping, bro, you tripping? You don't

fuck with him? Got some fucking hits, you know, but like they're just like it's kind of like Nickelback is like the what's like a very generic like pop rapper that like Nickelbacks like the flow right of rock and roll. Okay, okay, yeah, man, I give what you're saying. Nah, I give what you saying. Riders like yeah, he's got hits, you know, but like yeah, yeah, you know, I know the songs. Yeah yeah, but I'm

not like bumping the flow Rider album facts. Yeah, definitely doing rock Star Mother for the motherfuckers, not to get them views. Bro, they do that's the crowd. Well, I appreciate you pulling up. Man. We're gonna do a freestyle too, so next video check that out. Oh yeah, man, I get it. Man. You got the King getting and this motherfucker sliding and gliding son out, guns out of you, your bitch, hests in the house. Man, We're about to turn up on his freestyle and guess what, it's the
