#227 - Tee Grizzley

I've been on Twitch, I've been on GTA. Dog. You gotta help me understand because I just saw this clip of you asking a little kid if he was gonna pick his mom or the homies, and then you smoked him and then you drove off. What the fuck is

this role playing? GTA explain this thing? Yeah, yes, let's just start off with that, because okay, so basically right, it was just it was just I could tell he was young, you feel me, but he was already deep off the edge into the streets, you know what I'm saying. And he wanted to join grizz game, you know. So I'm like, all right, bet, you know what I'm gonna show you everything and see if this is what you

really want. So I showed him everything, right, So now at this point, if we don't put him down, he got to go because he knows too much. So I asked my question the last part initiation, I was about to put him in Grizzly game. I asked my question. I said, this your new family. Now, ain't no, ain't your regular family? This over this trump everything once you become a part of this. You know what I'm saying. So I asked him. I'm like, bro, I'm asking you

a question. Don't hesitate you feel me? Because if you hesitate, that mean you gotta think about it. I need you to be sure. I'm like, so, who your favorite person in your family? Like my brother? I'm like, all right, bet, if your brother's standing right here and one of the members standing right here, you gotta shoot when I'm who you gonna shoot? And he hesitated, so he had to go, so you killed him. Yeah. Wow, I really need to

get to the roots of this entire world. So, by the way, I'm so happy for you that you have because I think it's incredible that you have turned your love for gaming into like a real incredible like stream of income. I don't understand the role playing thing. So it's a it's it's like a server. You have your own server. Yeah, I got my own server Grizzly World RP. So in this world, this is like you have a gang. And when you guys are in the world on the

headphones and ship, y'all are like really acting. Yeah, like acting like that's the real world when we're on there right when the real world don't exist, Like that's the real world. Wow, that's deep. It's kind of like Dungeons and Dragons, but like on a video Gameanda, do you remember Dungeons and dragons. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, you know what. It's exactly like that, but but funner. Yeah, what's the grand the photo? It's crazy. Are you like

kind of sad that the new GTA is coming? It means you're gonna probably eventually have to retire the og We're you gonna move thing over because we don't move the whole thing over to the whole new build. That's gonna be better. I can't wait for it to drop. So, okay, take me to the roots of this. So obviously you're a fan of video gaming. You've been gaming online at what point in time do you get introduced to having your own server, role playing and building this. I mean

you have like a twitch empire. Yeah, it was. It was during COVID, bro, it was during COVID. I was on call of duty, heavy streaming call of duty, and somebody told me, you gotta try GTA out so I'll be on call duty trolling, right, Like, man, you gotta try gt A out right, you feel me? I tried it. I'm like, no, this is actually fun, and my numbers went up on GTA. Yeah, because it's more entertaining. I could really like beat myself on there. Yeah. Yeah, some

street ship around yeah exactly. So that was like, this is a no brainer, and it just went up. Did you ever think when you're sitting in a jail cell waiting to get out, not knowing what was on, you know, the other rest of the side of your life, that you would be getting paid the amount of money you'd be getting paid to play video games and act the ship you used to do. Yeah, I ain't know that it existed. Bro. It's so crazy. Man, it's super crazy.

For sure. Guys like yourself been doing this thing, you know what I mean? Yeah, what has been your most successful month on twitch? My most successful month. This month been very successful. Yeah, you've been going viral this month? Yeah, this month been very successful on twitch for sure. And I ain't even been able to stream, but not to be all in your pockets, but like, what's that look like? It looked crazy? Like I can show you like this

month so far. I'm I'm so intrigued by this. And it's the twelfth and Twitch got to start taking care of their creators a little better. So this is because everything been going viral. So that's this month so far. Oh my god. Yeah that's six figures. Yeah, can I say the amount one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars in a month playing video games? Yeah? Why would you ever go to a club? Again? I don't mail mad at me right now, mail mad at me right now because

I don't know. I mean, like, this is the way I look show nobody like me that you can make money from home, because I want to be home anyway. Well, I was gonna say, like, you obviously can always put out music, but like why open yourself up to like unnecessary risk for like twenty grand to go to a club or do thirty grand to go to a club when you could just chill at the crib, be safe, not worry about no bullshit and uh, you know, just

talk shit on the internet the facts. I don't do it though, I ain't eve into a club in a minute. I was gonna say, do you feel like you're a professional gamer part time rapper? Now? I feel like I'm a professional gamer part time movie director, which is obviously coming out with the project. Yeah. Yeah, I don't wrap no more, bro, I just I just make movies. Nah, straight up. Yeah, So you're just kind of it is what it is. Yeah, I'm making move. I'm into the

movie thing. No, and that is everybody rapping. It's a new rapper every day. Everybody rapping. All rap sound the same to me, So I'd just rather just the movie thing. Yeah, there's a lot of raps sounding the same. You know. What I appreciate about the last few years is I've just noticed the Detroit for a long time felt like a really divisive place when it came to just obviously sides music, People beef each other, You've had your issues

with people whatever. But I feel like recently, the last like six months to a year, it feels like everyone's kind of moving in the same direction, and I feel like you're very like out of the like drama. Does that make sense? It makes a lot of sense. I do it on purpose. I don't want to be involved in drama. Are you from the east side or the west side? The west side? Okay, west side? Yeah? Yeah. I went to Detroit for like a week a few months ago and it was fun. Man. I actually really

enjoyed it great. I mean, the food was all right. I don't know if I went to the wrong Coney's or not. But the thing is, when you and Detroit getting food, not only do you know where, you have to know where to go, right, but you have to know what to order. That's fair, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, because it's like a thousand different Coney's specific coney got the best at their own thing, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, everyone was telling me to go to trust. Is that

what it's called? Our truth? Truth? Truth? The Strip Club never made it over there, yeahs nothing we did eat at Acid Diamonds yeah, Spades yeah, Yeah, it wasn't bad. A Spade A Diamonds is over there somewhere. Mazzi was there, Yeah, it Diamon's sound familiar. It's diamonds. Oh yeah, it was in l A. Yeah, yeah, same is nothing. You got crazy Girls. I mean I just want food at this point in time. If I go to Crazy Girls, I'm

not the type of person that's going to compete. If you go Detroit, you gotta go to Pantheon, get the lamp shops. Okay, Pantheon. Yeah. We went to some terrible place. I think it's called Coliseum. Coliseum, that's a little museum looking spot. Yeah, well you know what it was was, uh yeah, the lights. Yeah, okay, I've never been there,

never been there. Street Lord Wan sentenced there, and I think he said this there because he knew that we were, like, we had nobody with Detroit with us, so he sent us to like an obvious white strip club. And I was so disappointed. I walked in and all these bitches looked like Juggalos. It was terrible, and the food was fucking got off. It was bad. Yeah yeah it was. It wasn't it, man? But yeah, shout out to Detroit.

I feel like, you know, for you as somebody who obviously, in my opinion, kicked the door down for kind of the commercial commercialization of the new wave of Detroit hip hop, the street ship. How you go as far as saying that's an opinion, like that's a fact. Yeah, for sure, opinion is something that could be disputed. Yeah, I mean I think that you're you're the most successful person commercially

who did street Detroit music. That's a fact, right, So, like, but now the wave is just so it's crazy now. Them boys out there going crazy enough for sure enough. You know, obviously a sid of Baby Baby Money and guys like Perro Giovanni still do their thing. Pyroad. Just overseas, I was like, damn, I can't even go over there, and they was fucking with even heavy because of your prior criminal ship. Yeah, damn. Yeah, shout to all them

guys though, for sure. Were you like growing up on the West Side where its like the like payrolling those guys, like guys you looked up to, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Pyroll, I looked up to some guys up from the East Side too, for sure, but payer on them. They definitely held it down for the West like that was our champions for the West Side for sure. Yeah. Yeah, I always hear that. Everyone says, like the difference between the two sides. Is like the west side is a little flashyeer,

I would say, so, yeah, does that make sense? Yeah, the west side of a little flashier, a little brokeer. East side really don't really flash like that, but they'll be having a lot of money type shit. Yeah. But it's changed now though. It's changed because the east side getting flashy and the west side getting dirty you know what sing, So it's changed like the east side used to be you know them nigga's over there dirty, yeah, not the west side looking dirty as hell and the

east side looking good. Yeah, so it's been a shift house. I like for you, Uh, does it feel good to just kind of see your city prospering like that? Man? QC side two people from the city. They feel great, They feel great and feel amazing. Yeah, you know, I just wish we had a better mindset about shit. But you know, it feel amazing seeing it though. Yeah, what do you mean by that? Though? Like Detroit, it's very divided. It's very divided for Shore. Everybody were really ain't trying

to stick together. We our mindset from Detroit like we're gonna do us and we're gonna win regardless. You feel like it's getting a little better. I don't know, it might be getting a little better. But people stick to the crowd and theyself. That's it. Yeah, Now that's fair, I think. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. When I went there, it felt like everybody was fucking with each other. It was getting people fuck with each other. But I'm

just talk about like on a deeper level though. Now I get it on a deeper level, like we really got it all. Just lock in, come together and just take this to a whole new level. That's fair. That's fair man for you? Uh, who are some of the up and coming artists of the to be that you're just a fan of shit? I don't know. I don't know. I like I like Horse to One, I like I like Mario Red And there's a few more other people, but I got them all. Repeat right now, though, how's

your brother doing? He doing good in good spirits, in great spirits. Yeah, he's still locked up, right, he's still locked up. We're hoping he come on twenty twenty three, okay, And I say we're hoping because he got to sentencing in January, and there's gonna be in a judge here when he gets out. You got to put him on the Twitch shit man, of course he got to be the guy who's holding down the gang while you're fucking

on vacation. I'm gonna him on that for sure. You can't hold down the Grizzly game online all the time by yourself. Do you have like I got guys on that You got guys? Yeah? My game be on it shows. Do you have like guys that like you've like, are these guys you've met in person or they like people here just know digitally? No, some of them I just know digitally. Some of them met in person, though, Have

you met any of these? Like, when you meet a guy who you've known through the video games in person is kind of crazy to see what they look like or who they are. A lot. It's been a couple of people. It's been a couple of people like, damn, this niggas crazy. Yeah, like that's yeah. I ain't gonna say any children. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got I got a son. Yeah you haven't wait await with Yeah, so you have a son in the game. Oh no, not in the game. Other people got kids in the game.

I got a son in real life, though. Is he on the game? Nah? No, No, I mean, I mean any children like a part of your gang, That's what I'm saying. Like, I didn't met some people and they've been like twelve, but he's like like that should be crazy. Wow, they're like you on Grizzly Gang whatever. They really ain't supposed to be playing it. Oh been eight year olds and that MoU be folded out of middlem They were like, yeah, I'm such and suching like that, Shoot, what the fuck

is crazy? That ship is wild. You ever have them like try to DM you and then you're like you see their profecate, like, oh, this is what this motherfucker look like. Oh, we gotta kick him out the gang man. No, No, it ain't never been in a situation like that. No. The only thing that surprised me, like when I finally see them, is it be real life like kids sometime. Yeah, That's why I feel like like all these games online are just so far past my learning capabilities to be

good at them. And I feel like GTA because I played I beat GTA obviously, but I've never played online. Yeah, so it's different. I definitely feel like it ain't a learning curve though. I feel like with gta'd be easiest. You're just running around kind of. The only thing you gotta do is just don't break character. That's the only thing. That's the only rue. Don't break character. But if someone does, they get exiled. You get because you you fucking up

the experience for everybody else. What the fuck? Can I just I could just go and watch you play right on twitch obviously. Yeah that's fucking crazy. Yeah, yeah, definitely, Jesus, I love it man. Yeah, that movie. I can't play like a Fortnite or you. No, No, I can't. I can't because it's these little kids is too good. I'm starting too late. I don't even play Call of Duty unless the story mode. So listen, you can play Call of Duty. You can actually get good at it. You

got to run with the right team, bro. Yeah, I sucked until I started running the right team. Move steal sucks. Yeah, damn, that's fire. I got a screenshot, not one kill whole game. So that would be me because me, when I play Fortnite, I kind of run around and hide and wait for the circle to get smaller, and then I'll just go find a new place and then I'll be like top ten though, and I'd be like shit, I made it ten you know what I'm saying. But I can't kill nobody.

I don't know how to build that. And see that's why I can't foking for night, because you got to build and all that. I like, call of duty. If I shoot that, you ain't no getting away from this shit. But there's hackers on there now. It's that man, hackers on there for the longest. Yeah, they said that. They're like the new policy is, uh, you have to have a phone number for your account so they can make sure. I don't know what what that's going to do to

cut it down. Ain't they selling that shit? I think? Mm hmm yeah, the hackers. You can't really be a hacker in they're selling the hacks. Man, They selling the hacks. How much money you got on GTA in the world, Like I got about sixteen thousand, But I'm coming up though. In your world, you're the leader of the game. You know, they got sixteen bands and GJ what was going on? It's hard. It's fucked up up there, damn right now,

do you just rob people? Yeah? But see I ain't trying to rob everybody because I gotta create relationships because people are starting to people starting to funk with me on the street. Ship. You know, I got like a half a break. I need to sell that. I can't be robbing people, just so win up. We're very clear. This is in the video game. Yeah, this is a video game. Very clear. You uh just left h the barstool ship with Kayleb Presley. I'm a big fan of him,

me too. He's hilarious. How was your experience with him? That shit was fire? That was fun. It was fun. Bro was Glennie balls and ice cream? Yes? I asked him for something? Did he give you something? No, because they ain't have another bowl, but both of them dope with them. That was fun. It was funny. Was it like uncomfortable? It wasn't uncomfortable. They definitely asked me some crazy shit though, but it wasn't uncomfortable though. It was fun.

It was literally like hilarious for real. Yeah, it was hard not to like be laughing and ship. No, I bet Yeah. Hey, we got to stop theater.

Even. I mean, these are totally props because

you know they're props. But with that being said, when you go to Vegas, telling Bootleg keV sents you Hardan Las Vegas, I'm telling you it is like going to It's like the Bentley of dispensaries.

Go to Hardinlasvegas dot com and when you're in Vegas, go to hard Dean Baby. All right, you already know. Let's get

back to the interview. Be dying. Did you see the Aaron Rodgers one. Aaron Rodgers is fucking high, bloodshot, red eyes and he's just dying the whole fucking time. He was like inaudible, he was laughing so hard. It was so good. Yeah, yeah, you know Aaron Rodgers. That's the reason one. Yeah, it's like from like the last month, right before this is the football season started. I gotta watch it. You know, Aaron Rodgers be doing Ayahuaska and

ship he'd be fucking tripping hard man. Yeah yeah, Aaron Rodgers. That's Wisconsin, yeah, green Bay. Yeah, Okay, he still play football right now. Yeah, I see you're not a football fan obviously. No. No, he'd be high like that. He'd be doing like hallucinogenics, mushrooms in ayahuasca. Have you ever done Have you ever done any of that? No? Not yet. I want to, though, you should, man, Yeah, I want to. Why wouldn't you? I definitely want to. I've heard great

things about it. You're off papers right, like you're a free man totally. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, eat some shrooms. Yeah, and then do the shroomed out episode of Twitch when you're in band. That'd be crazy. Yeah. Man, it's gonna be like Ready Player one soon when you're gonna have the whole fucking thing where you're wearing a suit and ship. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. You ever do the VR? No? I don't funk with the VR. You ever watched VR porn? Oh? Never?

Not even you don't. You don't own the fucking ocuus. No, I don't VR porn. Fire. It's not not fire, Okay, okay. I put it on blue Face, right. I interviewed blue Face and I just bought it. He's like, let me see the VR porn. So I was like, yeah, whatever, he looked it up and he looked down. He's like, bro, my dick is white. So you got the ocul this year. No, no, no, not here. This was like when I first bought it. Now, she said, at my house. Honestly, it's just at my

house on the charger all the time. I never use it. So you don't watch VR porn on while you're watching on your phone. Now, I literally watched VR porn twice just because I was like, ah, let me see what. I'm just curious. So you just wished back over to the phone. Now, I don't watch porn. Yeah, I'm married, you know what I mean. It's for experimental purposes. But you're like looking around and you're like this is crazy. Yeah, like shit, yeah, Now if I wasn't married, I probably

would never need a woman again. Yeah, because I just throw on the headset, just be locked in, you know what I mean, wherever I want to go, I'm there. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that's fire. It's not bad, man, it's definitely. It's not what got you into wanting to do films. I like TV shows, but

I like movies. I've always liked movies and TV shows and stuff like that, And I like how the directors make us feel some type of way, you know, like your favorite director or whoever did a Game of throws? Oh yeah, I mean Game of Thrones is great beside season eight, which was fucking atrocious exactly so, but him, for example, he make you hate characters, he makes you love characters. Yeah, he makes you want to watch the

next episode immediately, of course, you feel I'm saying. So that was interesting to me and I wanted to kind of do that as well through music. Mmm. I like that. And then you know what else too, is like you got to really get in that bag and start writing your show to tell that Detroit story from like the snowfall perspective, because I know a couple of hommies and sold their their life to the Night of States. They're from the streets and they've already gotten like real TV deals.

Because all these networks are trying to do the next Snowfall. Somebody gotta tell that Detroys. That's the fact in Hey, the Wire told the Baltimore Side. You ever watched The Wire? I did? That's my favorite showever I did. Are you trying to take fifty spot on Stars? So it's exclusive replacing fifty cent coming right up. You don't want to as you should. I'm gonna lie if stars and fifty hit me up, I'm going fifty cent. Of course, fifties

to one. It's not the two yeah facts, but stars do need to, you know what I'm saying, feel that gap because they left a big gap. He left, Well, all all the shows are gone when he leaves, it's like, what's next. I don't know. They had the whole power universe being you know obviously BMF. Yeah, so you love Game of Thrones, so you kind of wanted to apply storytelling like a TV series to the music side. Is it hard to pull that off conceptually? Because it's hard

to pull that off on a TV show. It's not hard to pull it off for men not nice it's easy, and it's hard making a regular song. I was gonna say, break down like the chapters, Like somebody say, make a club banger right now, right like the Funk. I'm gonna go ahead and say yeah, and then it might not work and you don't even be in the club exactly. But if you tell me, make a chapters of the trenches, mm hmm, A bet I can't tell your story exactly. You could do that with no not no pun intended,

with no effort exactly exactly. Did that exactly? You see what I did there? How much did you hate Season eight to Game of Thrones? Did you hate it as much as I did? Because it almost ruined the whole series For me, I probably hated it more than everybody. It was so disappointed, Yeah, bro, because I ain't wanted to end like that that. I ain't the end and I wanted and then I didn't want to end that quick. Like they rushed so much facts, the fact that all

of it. I feel like House the Dragons is rushed too. Though I only saw the first episode. I feel like it's rushed, bro, Like y'all skipping ten years and shit right now to check this out? What if I wanted to see what happened through those ten years? I mean, I think that's what was great about the first seven seasons of Game of Thrones. It was so slow and methodical, and it built characters so slowly. And then season eight, all of a sudden, Denarius is a fucking bad She's bad,

She's killing innocent people. The fact that the fucking war with the White Walkers lasted. That should have been a whole season, and motherfucker should have really died. Like how you build up this fucking winner is coming the whole show and then you blow the load so fast. It should have been it should have been. Man, that shit was the worst, bro. That's the fact. And I'm gonna tell you right, House of Dragons one episode, it's a little girls one. I saw the first one. Now look

changed this out. Now one episode is she a little girl? And she liked that? Right, Yeah, experiencing herself. The very next episode, she was a grown lady. It was a different character. She had three keys, Like goddamn Jesus. Ye, I didn't see that. I wasn't ready for another version of her. Yeah, I don't know, I gotta I have no opinion. I just know that Game Is season eight is a fucking black eye of all TV history. Yeah, okay, it's one of the best shows ever and they fucked

it up. Did you watch Dahmer? I didn't? Pretty wild? Yeah, sick, fuck that guy. I gotta go rewatch the Wire. You have to. Yeah, when did you watch it? How long ago? It been like five years? So I rewatched it for the first time. Since like twenty ten during the pandemic, like the first like month of the pandemic. I have my crazy. Oh yeah, it still is fire. It's even more fire like after I was like, fuck, it's up there. To me, it's like that and Breaking Bad. It was

my two favorite shows. Okay, did you watch Breaking Bad? I didn't. What I ain't Breaking Bad? It's about a fucking teacher who sells maps. Yeah, because he has cancer and he has to pay for his fucking shit. Damn do he beat the cancer? Well, he had, so he was broke. His fucking house was upside down. He's a fucking science teacher in high school and he needed to

make money. So his brother in law is a DEA agent and takes him on a ride along, and he notices while they're raiding a house one of his ex students sneaks out of the top roof and he says, hmm, and he didn't sna on him, He just ran off. He didn't say nothing, right, And then his brother in law is like, yeah, we just we just took you know, like one point two million dollars worth of meth out of that house and and and then the light went off. Oh I'm a chemist. I teach chemistry. I can make meth.

And he made the best shit in town, the best ship. It's crazy, that's on fire. Did he beat the cancer though, Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm listen, man. You just gotta watch it, bro, it's fire. And then him and the student who he saw escape, they partner up some gangster ship. Bro. That's why I gotta checked it out. It's fucking ill. And then they did a spin off called Better Coss Salt that's crazy. Better was good too, Yeah yeah, Better Coss Saul. Yeah yeah.

Yellowstone is not on that level though, Relax, just chill. Yellowstone is solid, but it's like it's like it's like surface level good. It's like it's both of these on Netflix. Yeah, yeah, Breaking Bad and Better Kassault. But you gotta watch Breaking Bad first, then you gotta watch Better Coss Salt. Yeah yeah, and then and then don't watch Domer. It's disturbing. It's just like fucked up. It's like, yeah, I gotcha, Yeah,

some Milwaukee ship. I don't know what they're doing in the Midwest over there, but y'all see the killers hit different over there. Damn Milwaukee. Yeah, every city in the Midwest is super different though too. This is true, very diverse, like weird, super area, a bunch of swing states. It's super different. It's crazy. White people are different in Detroit. I went to a Tech nine concert while I was there for that week that white trash and Detroit, Man, I get it now, Like, how is the white trash

are just it's not Detroit white trash. So when I was sitting in there, just the whole Eminem shit all connected, I was like, yeah, I just look at these white people, I get it. I see it. Yeah, a bunch of Eminem's if he never would have popped off in this motherfucker. Yeah yeah, white dudes with dirty fucking Jinko jeans, wife beaters and Detroit tattoos on their neck. Yeah yeah, going

around and his fucking restaurant's terrible shouts at am. But this restaurant was not good, mom, spaghetti, it was god awful. Did you get to spaghetti? Yes? I got both things. I went there with a baby tron and uh we got the sandwich and the and the spaghetti, just to try everything. And what kind of sandwich was it? Spaghetti sandwich? Spaghetti sandwich? Was was this spaghetti fire though, oh no, it's terrible. Did it have meat? You ain't got no

meatballs in it? Of course? How can spaghetti be nasty? Like, how can you fuck up spaghetti? Okay, one easily. It tastes like if I were to go to a white lady's house I didn't know how to cook, and she said, hey, are you hungry? We have some leftover for spaghetti from a few days ago, and you said yes, and then they put it in the microwave and then they fed it to you. That's what it tasted like. Yeah, but you're vegan ish. I'm vegan ish. Yeah, how's that going

for you? It's cool? I was saying, like, because you were like, man, I'm trying to be vegan, and I most people who are. You know, you're a big guy. Most people go vegan to try to lose weight. And I'm like, well, you're still kind of a big guy, So how's it going? Like what was the reason? Nig? So it's because I just wanted to eat cleaner, you know what I'm saying.

Where's she from, Sagonaw, Michigan. Okay, Sagona is not too far from Detroit, right like an hour and yeah, yeah, she was like, you should make a song about that, and she gave me the idea. And I'm like, damn, you're right. That's tight, you know, and everybody can relate

to it. Well, you're you're married now though, engaged basically married though, Okay, so you're engaged. Talk about losing p and b Rock who somebody who you were close with. Man, that was fucked up. Bro, that was hard. Feel like you lost a genuine friend. Feel like I lost a genuine friend and the ship and genuine friends in this business is hard to come by. Yep, you know. So that was that was tough for sure. Yeah, because I feel like you were with him the day before maybe, yeah,

at the engagement party. Yeah, that's why I thought you were married, because I thought that was your wedding because it looked like you know, you know that was that was then engagement party. Wow? Do you remember? Like obviously P and B was one of those guys who he

recorded here all the time. He was just a solid fucking dude man, And he was one of those guys like you said, it was like super loyal, very like you know, like you said, like a lot of dudes got that industry shit on them where it's like they're gonna fuck with you because they're because because it makes sense for them, it benefits them at the moment. And P and B was never that guy. No facts, that's a fact. How did you know that your girl was the one? Man? I just knew it. Yeah, I just

knew it. You know? Was there anything particular? Was it her cooking? Was it just the way? It wasn't in particular? Because all that go away?

No features, I love it, no features, I love it. I don't need no features.

So yeah, because it's like I don't know, I don't want no features unless it makes sense. Yeah, that's fair. I would I would like to get Alicia Keys awesome ship. It's not that's pretty. I think that's realistic. You know. I always wonder when you have a song like first day Out, and now everyone makes a first day out when they get out of jail. Everybody's got a first day out. If you've done jail time, you get out and you drop a song called first day Out. Yeah, yeah,

it's pretty crazy. But your song is one of those songs that forever will get played in the club, no matter what club you go to. It's like Dreams and Nightmares is going to play, First Day Out is going to play. It is like one of those iconic records that it's just it's just a staple. What's it like having one of those? You ever get tired of the song? Like, you know what I'm saying, Oh, man, I thank God for that. It's a blessing. Bro change your life, Yeah,

change my life. It's a blessing. It's a blessing. I had that for sure. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Feel good. Yeah, because it's like I feel like, at least in the last ten years, I don't know, like songs that are I mean because now we're going on five years that song has been out, has been five years, it's been it's been six years, it'll be six years in November. Yeah, there's not a lot of songs that are six years old still getting played peak hours in

the club right now. Mm hm. And like when you go, it's not like they're playing it just because you're there. It's like now they're gonna play anything. I don't remember

what songs came out around at the same time. Really the only other song is Dreams and Nightmares, I know, but I mean that's like that old or and then obviously like depending on where you're at, Little Whistle, you know, driven out back that as you know, something like if you're like I'm talking about peak hour shit, yeah yeah, fact, yeah for sure. Yeah, shout out to uh yeah, shout

out to that recormend. It's definitely a classic for you. Man, Where do you see yourself going next with the music ship? Are you focused more on like building out the everything else? I want to feel? In the gap in hip hop okay, which is storytelling? Yep, you know what I'm saying. That's a gap. Not a lot of people doing that right now. A lot of people doing it. Kendrick did a great job on his new album with some of the records

on there. Yeah, definitely, you know, Kendrick do a great job, you know, But that's a gap, bro, that that nobody's feeling, especially a whole project. Nobody's doing that. They used to do that ship back in the day. Like there was a Prince Paul album called Fuck forty Thieves. I'm fucking up the name. The whole album is like a movie front to back, but no one's doing that anymore. People are worried about that ship because they want to fucking

they want to catch a fucking TikTok record. They want to go viral, they want to you know, they're not worried about like body be a TikTok record, though anything can be. We've seen that. Yeah, anything can be a club record, anything can be a TikTok record. I feel like people you gotta go in there and be creative, be true to themselves, and you don't know what can happen. Yeah, how you go in there and try some specific shit and it won't work. That's real. Have you felt you

felt that? Like the difference when you're going in like try to force the record as opposed to just going to do what you want. Yeah? Hell yeah. There's no way you knew First Day Out was gonna be as big as it was when you recorded it. I had no idea, bro, Yeah, I would have been so happy to come on. I would have been like, I ain't doing nothing, I ain't fighting right nothing there, I got get home and drop the song because I know what it's gonna do. That's beautiful, man, Hey, what up? Y'all.
