#288 - MBNel

the hip hop scene and what's going on. And I feel like it seems like like y'all finally kind of getting some credit now. Do you feel that way? Yeah? Yeah, for sure. There's definitely a lot of telling out there. Everyone just starting to get hips. It's been like that for a couple of years now. But yeah, it's dope to see for sure. Yeah, I feel like you're kind of when I think of Stockton, I think of you and I think a Haiti baby like in terms of like the last five years, Like you guys are kind

of like the two main dudes. That's fair to say. Yeah, I think that's fair to say. For sure. What is up playing? Look, I ain't trying to get into politics, but it feels like there's just a lot of drama in terms between the rappers out there, whether it's yourself and the other guys, and you know, it just seems like there's a lot of like not a lot of people moving together out there. Yeah, definitely not. Is that

like this all politics driven? Yeah, definitely is just a bunch of street shipping that that that you know, hinders music for sure. I feel like LA that kind of got in the way of l a kind of moving because you know, there was a moment when LA was kind of like cold, you know what I mean. I feel like because a lot of the up and coming artists out of LA that the politics, I guess, get in the way of the music. Now. Stocked In is

a way different city. It's a very small place, so it's definitely not the same dynamic because I'm sure when shit happens it's stocked it it's it's very small. I've been there, you know, small together. Yeah, it's a lot different, right, But for you, like, do you think that there's any like progress in the right direct or is it still kind of like everyone's just kind of divided doing their

own thing. I mean, as of right now, people like that ship though like like I feel that's what's driving in like people like seeing that that beef and ship and that drama and ship. Yeah, it's crazy because I kind of feel like Stockton's kind of like the West Coast like Jacksonville, kind of like Jacksonville's like rap scene is like kind of driven by like the fucking beef ship, and I feel the Stockton ship is kind of similar, like it's just so much beef, and I feel like

it helps. It's not good for the human beings involved, not that it helps with It helps with the with the getting the streams up and numbers up, especially like YouTube and stuff. It's like a given and take though, because it's like if you lean into that ship, there's like real life ramifications. Yeah yeah, for sure, we gotta know what you signed up for. But yeah, that's that's

that's what people like right now. Do you feel like you be leaning into that ship a little bit just to kind to help the music or I mean I've always been to type like whatever whatever be happening, I just leave it out the music because I treat it like two separate entities. You feel me like this is really my job for like like business. You feel me like I don't want to. It ain't it ain't. I just I try to just do you like, look at you professionally you feel me. Yeah. But and as far

as that, I'm just fun all that shit. F Yeah for sure. Yeah. I mean there's been a lot of guys losing their life out there too, man, Like you know, like the like the slow van dude obviously rest in peace. But there's a lot of a lot of dudes, is there. I feel like I've heard a few people losing their life out there. They're like I just followed the Fizzler, bro theler just be keeping me in Yeah, for sure.

For you, because you're kind of like one of the pioneers out there, I would say that you're probably in terms of like catalog and like you know, being able to tour and do certain ship, you're probably the most successful guy at a Stockton. Do you feel any pressure or any responsibility kind of being like the national face of a city like that? Uh? Yeah, A little bit better save time. It's just I really just be so

like worried about myself. Like I don't really care what what, how, what people expect or you feel me think of me. It's just I'm just so focused and dialed in on on myself and try to like better myself. So whether people look at that like as a as a you know, a good representation, it's just it is what it is. You feel me naturally, When do you feel like you kind of like figured out how to like properly turn the rap shit into a business and like really monetize

your fan base. Uh? I started I started looking at the analytics everything, like where where where certain fans of listening to music from? Uh, like top cities? Like what type of Like I'm really looking at what type of songs are streaming the most? You feel me like like certain raps song just do good on YouTube, but then like like a song as for the females like singing melodizing, that's that's doing. He'll get on like like Spotify or something. And I'm looking at it and it's like cities that

I never expected. So like like where like right now on my Spotify list? Last time I looked at it, I think top five. I think it was like Melbourne, Australia, London. Uh there was like three out of country cities. Oh yeah, and it'd be like it'd be like for songs like like the singing songs you feel me. That's so crazy

to think, like Australia is really far crazy. So when you see some ship like that, or you're like, damn, maybe we should try to go do some shows out there or run some ads out there, try to you know, like like how do you take that information and like how do you apply it to like what you're doing. Uh, yeah, we try to. We try to do like try to try to have ads reached towards towards that way. We we were actually speaking to somebody from out there, like

a promoter, trying to get some shows together. But uh, that's on hold right now, trying to put that together, try to have a show in Canada. And then and they didn't even let me in, which was weird because they let me in in uh Toronto and Montreal. Is it because of your record? Yeah? But but they did me so greasy this time, like they looked up everything, like Dyven broke it even get in. They was bringing up stuff from like when he was fourteen. Really this

is crazy? Was this Vancouver? Yeah? Vancouver? Damn? So like you how does it work? You get to the border, So yeah, we get over there, we go through the little Uh I forgot what it's called. Uh, what's it called? When you go we go to TJ customs. Customs. Yeah, so we were in customs. They see me whatever. I guess. I guess I kind of throw them off with the face tattoos and shit. They looked me up. I guess

the seen I was a rapper. Then they look up everything else that's on the internet, the little indictment shit and just the ship that was on like blogs and all that shit. So all that pop up day on everything on my on my two suitcases. I got two bandana's on it, just to identify it, right, and you know, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying it. But but they happened to be blue. So they asked him, why why is it blue. I'm like, that's the that's the first thing

I see and I just put it on there. But they have they bring me to like a little room in the back. They like, we gotta ask you a couple of questions. I'm like, all right, whatever, fuck it, bro. They have me in there for like eight hours, eight hours, bro, just ask like like down there interrogating me just to deny you, well, my whole my whole life, like asking me about my whole life, like everything, Like, go back to the waiting room. All right, there's a couple more

questions we gotta ask. Go back in there. For like two hours, I go back to the waiting room. They had me doing that back and forth and then and then the day was coming to an end. There was nobody else coming in. There was like, uh, based on the information you gave us, we still got to do some more research, like more stuff come up. So I'm like, damn. They're like, uh, it might be a it might be a legal issue now because you're they're trying to say I was an active crip and you give me just

a little shit like that. Now now it's a legal issue. And I'm like a legal issue, like like what are you talking about? Instantly called I ictically called Matt, who's a lawyer, and yeah, the lawyer and my real lawyer, uh Mark, So I call them. They get in contact with them, trying to see what's up. Mark and Matt get ahold of the U the uh was it the

embassy or something like that, trying to talk to them. Uh. They're like, you're gonna have to spend the night in uh in custody so we could do more homework on you. What the fuck? Yeah, to try to get into a country. Yeah, I was like, fuck that, I gotta go. They're like, you can't leave. There's no there's unless you can find a flight. There's like, we'll give you an exception. If you can find a flight to the US right now,

we'll let you leave. But they were like, there isn't any though, so you're gonna have to spend the night and it could possibly become a legal issue because you're organized. What they said, gang member that's coming into the country or something like that. So I'm looking, I'm like, give me five minutes, bro, I'll find a flight right now. So we're looking. I'm on the three way with man and the lawyer and we're just trying to find a

flight to get U out of it. The first flight I seen it was in New York, So I just bought a ticket to New York got up out of there. What I was there for so long? Yeah, just to get it. So you were trying to drive, Like you drove to the border or did you fly there? We flew. So you fly into Vancouver to the airport and before they let you into the country, they pretty much hit you with the line of corners. Yeah. So when I first went to Toronto, the dude kind of gave me

a little bit of issue. I got in contact with my lawyer, Cunner, But but the dude was cool. So what they were saying, they really depends on who's working at the time. But I guess Vancouver more strict because it's connected to California. You feel me, right, Damn, that's crazy. So you just flew to New York. Yeah, I flew to New York, spent the night over there and at the flight pack, well, I was on a plane for like a whole day. I was like a terrible twenty

four forty two hours terrible. Do you do you find that, like, you know, some of your history, does it hinder the way people look at you? Sometimes? Are some of your opportunities ever outside of Canada? Yeah, I feel like it's sometimes. Excuse me, uh yeah, I feel like it's sometimes. Yeah, Like is it like because for you, I feel like you've been kind of like leveling up in terms of like I just noticed the way you move. You're moving

a lot different. You're moving more like a businessman. Like it's gotta suck to kind of like you know, that stigma just follow you around. I'm like, bro, I'm like an artist who like I'm not some local rapper. Yeahs not some gang member who who sucks at rapping And I do this as a hobby, you know what I mean. Yeah, I actually had I had a couple of talks with

a couple. I had a couple of sit downs with some labels, like a couple of years ago, probably like two years ago, and then they just they just look at like, I don't know how we suposed to market him. It's a Filipino dude who's a crip. Like, we don't know how this's gonna fit with anything rap like, So

it's it's just all type of stuff. Yeah. You it's funny because you and uh uh, you know, I feel like there is kind of a I feel like hip hop doesn't know how to figure out the West Coast Asian gang member rap thing yet, even though you know, people have gotten plaques, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, for sure you gotta go plack yet uh not yet. But I got one that's that's close to one of my older songs, Feelings which been going up it look

crazy for some reason, just out of nowhere. Yeah, TikTok, I don't know what it is. I don't even be on TikTok, so I don't know it's crazy because like you'll see a record like that's like three or four years old, like just ye blow up, blowing up out of nowhere, dude, it'd be like that's crazy even like stupid young ship. Like it was dope to see him get I mean get get U. I think Mando went gold or platinum. I think it was platinum them. Yeah, you guys did a tape together. Yeah, we did too,

yellow tape? Right, Yeah, did you guys do a yellow tape? Part two? And I just missed it probably Yeah, yeah, you guys running back for the trio. Uh, we've been talking about it. Was that something you guys kind of related on just kind of being Asians and like I

mean northern California, Southern California. Yeah, yeah, we just and uh, when he knows he knows folks are stuck it out, knew you feel me like and like some people from his hill is instucked in and I knew some people and he just kind of has to say the politics between Asians from the South and the North are not the same as like Mexicans, right or am I like as because it feels like the gang ship if you're if you're a Southern or Northerner and you're from like

the Mexican ship, it feels like I super divided the way seem why, I think that's really only the North Asian sireos for real, right, But but on the Asian tip, it's not like that. It's not like that. It's really it's really like where you're from. Thro Yeah, shout out to the Filipinos are doing well right now? Man. You know Nico Blitz my producer, he's my producer.

Yeah, but like they make different music though, you know what I'm saying, or that I feel like it's like I come from a from a different cloth. Yeah, like yeah, different world. Yeah for real. Yeah, they're making like more commercially palatable ship. You're making like gangster rap, you know what I'm trying to do, that commercial ship. How's it working on? Do you think your fans are like receptive

to that kind of ship? Uh? Some of them and some of them not. But it's crazy because, like like I was said, I pay attention to analytics, so like my my more uppity like mainstream cell of songs that do really good on streaming and but then but then it's it's fans that want the you know, the old type of music. But you just gotta balance it because you can't please everybody, you feel me and you can't box yourself. You gotta want to grow. Yeah do you? Uh?

I just saw Russ talked about how YouTube videos are not music videos rather aren't as important as they once were. Uh, and you have a lot of videos. Your your YouTube following is pretty big. Do you feel like you're getting the same like ROI that you used to get when you're dropping music video? Uh? Yeah, but but I'm just starting to like pay attention to that the different streaming services, and it really is a different dynamic. Uh, different kind

of fans that that listen to different streaming stuff. So like I've been noticing like on YouTube, they've been liking more like the the more rapping rapping ship and the streaming more more commercial stuff. Yeah yeah, because YouTube is free, you know what I'm saying, and the streaming stuff is it's probably more like older young adults or teenagers or something who who who could pay for this streaming services?

The monthlies and stuff like you know, uh, talk about the money boys, man, what's the what's what's the obviously that your crew, what's the origins of of the money boys? Uh? Yeah, it's just fem me.

I don't know if it's necessary because you kind of put yourself in in harm's way for no reason, just to say like, yeah,

I'm good over here, you know what I mean. Oh yeah, definitely, definitely. That's why I hinder yourself to do something like you can you can support from the distance. But but me, really it's just it's just it's just more to it family, and I'm trying to like, you know, uh looking and opening some business and stuff out there. I actually invested in with one of the homies on uh on the dispensary, oh stuck there, but uh, more detail on that later, but I went in on that, so we'll have a

dispensary open and stuck then. Uh, just some just some stuff I'm trying to look into, like this restaurant, like a family own restaurant, just just ship like that almost like put the money back into the city. But they don't mean you've got to be living there, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you know the

biggest haters everybody got from where they're from. For sure, you got you just gotta maneuver, right, Yeah, Would you ever I was gonna say, because you've obviously been successfully independent for a very long time, would you ever have like that? You know, if you had the opportunity to

sign a major deal, would you ever consider it? Uh? Yeah, definitely because at the end of the day, like if the bad if the bag is right and the terms right, like like why not you know what I'm saying, Like, like I said, it depends on the terms though, if it's like I will take everything that you currently own type ship, or if it's just all strictly the new music, or like I said, it depends on terms. Got to be right. Yeah, the terms got to be right. Bag

gotta be right. Terms got to be right all that. Yeah, because if you if you're smart, you just reinvest the money or just you ain't like, just don't blow it, you know what I'm saying.

So you're canna help curate the bud that gets so like you got to get your own strain in that motherfucker. Yeah, for surely, how do you not have a strain yet?

I don't know something I just never pursue. But everybody telling me this every time, Bro, you will get it. There's so many weed companies that will give you a strain, bro. Everybody keeps telling me that, especially up North. Bro. Yeah, just get a nice little royalty check every month. Yeah. I just never. I just never was like really pressed on it because I don't be smoking, so like I

just don't be thinking about that ship. Right. But but now everybody be telling me that for shure, like I'll be you don't smoke never, just always if not smoked. I smoked before. It was just what made you quit. I just don't like how it makes me feel. You think you're more focused when you're not high, Yeah for sure? Yeah. Have you I don't know, like I get I get like super bad anxiety and like like paranoid, like I get like we get weird. Have you ever had shrooms? Yeah?

Shoes or how that go? Uh? I was I was like out the way when I when I when I tried it the first time. That's how you're supposed to do it is out there is out the way. But I mean it was cool. Then it gets weird when you start over. It just makes me overthink that's the whole point of it. Sh Yeah, yeah, it just makes you like unravel your brain and like, so you a visual part though? Was cool? That shit crazy? Yeah? For sure? Lights look all wild and ship? Did you like you

didn't like trip? Like, did you like see ship that wasn't there? I was tripping for show. I forgot I forgot where I was that I was. I was staring down looking at the rocks like five minutes straight. Yeah, what the fuck? But you but the rocks weren't like they didn't like turn into like animals and like look at you back or like, no, it was it was doing something. It was like it was making shapes the type of ship. Check you out, man, shrewming hard. Yes,

the shrooms are the new wave man, everyone. The shroom truck is the what's it called the what's them called shrime chocolates? They're gummies. I mean you're talking about that. There's like brain chocolate bars. Yeah, yeah, everybody be off. I gotta give you some gummies. I got the shroom gummies for you. Oh, real my own ship. Yeah, we're about to put you on manh Yeah, which you'll be taking like like two pieces or something. It depends on

what kind of day you're trying to have. It depends on if you want to look at rocks for five minutes or not, or if you want to like be productive. If you want to be productive, I do one or two. But if you want to, like, you know, get serious, Yeah, I just eat the whole fucking bag, man. But you gotta be out the way. Yeah, yeah, you gotta be

out the way. When is the album coming out? Obviously the mixtape or the epiece coming in on the seventeenth, right, Yeah, So we're trying to trying to see if you get it out by me or like no, like I said, no day, I'm not too sure, but it just as soon as I can. I just want to keep pushing music out. Who's been the one artist or a person that you've been a fan of that like kind of reached out to you or you realized what was like following what you were doing that kind of caught you

off guard. Uh. I can't even think of the top of my head because I because oh p and b Rock reached out one time. That's crazy on some random man ship there. But yeah, he reached out, followed me and the uh he was asking he asked He asked me if I was signed? Are you trying to sign you? Yeah? I think that's what it was, because the conversation was going back and forth, and when I told him I was I was signed, he kind of he kind of fell back. Ah, yeah, that's kind of. I mean I

feel like that happens a lot. It's like, well, ship, ain't I'm signed? But like, what's up? You feel like with my ship, let's let's work? You know? Yeah? You has that? Has any other artists trying to sign you? Uh? Not? Not that I could think of, to be honest. Yeah. Oh uh Young did early early on? Who young? Super young? Oh stupid young early early on, like early in my career. Uh. I told bro, I appreciate the opportunity. Bro. I was like, I was in a mindset where I'm trying to build

your own ship. Yeah that's big man's What do you think is the key to kind of stopping some of this violence happening in Stockton? Or is it even possible? Not possible? Do you think it's possible? I don't think so like like once once once's and it ain't no turning back. Once lives is lost, you feel me, no matter who you is or what the circumstances is like

once people, once lives is going. It's it's just the cycle of NonStop lives being lost because you don't think it takes somebody coming in and being like, hey, people who have been lost on both sides. Even if that does work, it's gonna be somebody on what side you feel me to to fuck it up? Yeah, that's fair man. We'll listen, bro ep come in the seventeenth what's it called again? It started in itself? Started in the South album coming hopefully by May with big features. Big features.

Can't tell us who though, Give me some clues, man, and then if I can guess, just give me two clues. They could be the most generic clues ever. It's just down South, all right, they need a second clue. Give me a city. Don't just say down south. I'm just between Atlanta and Memphis or probably I don't know. It's a terrible clues giving me nothing. Well, look, I can't wait to hear man. I appreciate you pulling up stream
