And then my daughter was born, my second daughter, Kobe, my little badass, November eleventh, twenty twenty. So I caught it like right when she was born type shit.

Your brain and all went through that. Hey man. We went to Jamaica and they did that ship. They put that ship in my in my forehead. I'm like, yo, this is crazy. Pause but I caught it.

But I had it nine ten days, got off and I ain't catch it again. I never got the You never got jabbed, nah, I ain't.

Did you miss out on any opportunities because you decided not to be vexed by the way, kudos to you. I don't think so not pressuring to the social pressure of you know what, you know what it is, bro, by the way eye pressure to it.

I'm my mom longs and my dad did, but they older, so I kind of respected what they were saying, just because they you know, they're both seventy years old.

They've said now, like if you're like in good health and you caught it, it was better immunity than the vaccine because then you're just catching it. Your body fight it off, gangster.

That's like any cold, like the flu, anything you caught before anything I caught, bro, Like like chicken pox.

You from that era box kids don't catch that. No, it once it's done. But if you scratched it.

Remember they used to say, I see people today got mad chicken pox scars because they were scratching that ship.

Calamian lotion, calm.

Anytime you get a bug bite, calumine. My mom used to put us in the bath and lase us in calm used with calumine. I never used calumine with the porn like I did a cocoa butter.

Yeah, I hope the funk not man.

That's you still do you still like for exercise purposes or just for fun. Do you still have a hoop? I haven't played ball in a while.

I'm not gonna lie to you know, I'm I keep it real, Like all the time, I tell people I really played basketball. Like I see a lot of rappers now I feel like they got rich and famous and successful and now it's like a it's a hobby or a free time thing.

And like I played Drake like when everybody was at the arena at his house.

So it's like, kudos, Big Souseter, Drizzy. That's you know, that's that's a nigga from the hood dream to have.

A fucking He was like his own league at his house.

You know what I'm saying, Like I wouldn't know how to get niggas out of my house. If I had that, they'd be spending the night in the gym. But I already know the vibes at the end of the day.

It's like.

With boy, I really did that bro from from from four or five years old till I got locked up to twenty one, Like Non, I wasn't trying to rap.

I wasn't did you do AAU?

Everything everything that came with AU I did all that Summer League, Summer Tall and everything like that was my life until it wasn't my life, you know what I'm saying. But I always had a love for rap, like I've said so many times, like you know what I mean, But that was like I can remember playing ball and watching Meek mile freestyle and when Meek was getting this shit together and Phully and he was doing all them freestyles and I remember that, but I was hooping, you

I was a fan of that shit.

I wasn't rapping, so for me to jump in the game when I did after they and kind of laid the blueprint or they've been in it so long and still get the recognition I got, you know what I'm saying, And I'm getting it's a blessing one hundred for you.

Uh this album. You have some West Coast I mean, you've always been super tapped in in La. It feels like it's definitely your second home and you've been embraced by California heavily from day one. You got Tiger and Young Gerald on the.

Tee, Ritt Dog and G Eazy, And you know what's crazy about this album? Like I didn't I've said this to the homies, but everybody delivered. Bro, every feature.

Will be better. But still sometimes they just be like, all right, people just give you a verse. That's like if it's like you said in a song like damn, I.

Gotta come with you know, talk I'm talking, so you don't want to just get burnt on the record. But at the same time, it's almost like them is part like the Tiger record and the G. Eazy record ain't really no lyrical type of joints like those is kind of more fun, right, you know what I mean?

Like, but they delivered.

If you big chef, you put.

Tiger on like a random Alchemist beat, I'd just going to talk. I'd be disappointed. But but nobody. I don't feel like that's what you want to hear. I don't think I heard. Actually, you know what I do want to hear that? I mean too, I want to hear Tiger Alchemists do five songs EP challenge to the alchemyst.

Tiger can rap, Bro.

I feel like people don't understand that he came up under Lil Wayne of the one of the greatest weezy, one of the greatest bro You don't think.

You can rap. I mean he can rap like like, but you're just so used to hearing him on certain type of ship. You know what, He had a song the first album. He had a song on his album like really can Spit? And I'm telling people that rap so his first album when that rack City on it. He did have a song with Big Sean and a song with NAS and he kept up with them on

You gotta go with what what what?

The people love him, you know what I'm saying a lot of times, and you gotta go with what's feeding family. You gotta go what's what's what's making in life how you want it to be. So if this is winning, that's why I love, like, I'm gonna do what's winning one hundred.

You gotta do that shit all the same thing like when Floor Rider was like kind of like himing with Poe Boy and then he caught a wave and floor Riders like, I'm gonna just do pop records and I'm like, bro, I ain't mad at you.

And look what he Look how he ran it up.

He just bought Celsius and sold you know, he suited Celsius like forty million dollars.

He ran it big shout out the floor Rider, he ran it the I'm a fan of niggas running the fuck up like one hundred, A fan of that.

Anybody knew, You're like it like that, you're a fan of right now that you're maybe outside of anyone you're like directly affiliated with, but like anybody, you're just noticing what they're doing and you appreciate it. In the music game, new newer folks, Yes, let me see who's new right now?

And I feel like it's Simba, Simba is Hod Simber's fire, Simber talk. He pulled up shouta millies. My brother Blanco, he brought him out on on the last tour I had. And you know what I was like, like like beyond rap, bro, Like I know a lot of niggas that can rap with me. It be about like who you are as a person when I meet you or you know what I'm saying. Like a lot of a lot of people pull up and they like a like a like a superhero.

Or they're a character. Yeah, bro, take off the wrap.

Yeah they didn't put it there in like I like people, that's just them, bro, Like, no matter I dope you all what you got going on, Just be yourself because I'm always myself, like in any environment. So he's somebody that really caught my eyes. I'm in tune with him.

I'm trying to think, Uh that's new Damn. I feel like it's a few that's how that's hard.

But I'm really thinking about who really liked talking like he wanted them. That's I feel like that's talking Like as far as on some lyrical ship, you probably had to shoot some names out. I feel like, I say, I already worked with type ship.

Somebody I think you like who shares the same love for the color blue is uh Big extra Plug. He's from Houston, from Dallas, Texas.

Big extra Plug. He talking he fires he's my favorite rapper. Well he's fucking you got some ship with him. I'm gonna tap in.

Now I gotta meet him. He's just big dude, who fucking just be.

Fucking i'ma I'm definitely tapping. I'm one of them that being so much in my own world. Bro, Like it don't be a knock to nobody, but I gotta get put.

On this ship, like you know what I'm saying.

Like a lot of shit I got put on too, through the homies or just people around me be like, yo, check this shout.

So I don't you know what I mean?

Once I tap in, and I'd be like, oh, that's shit all you know what I'm saying?

What is something you learned from putting out the project that West Side Gun executive produced? Because I think he actually what's the word? Ah, what's the word I'm looking for? Uh? He did the art direction, he curated the cover.

He curated the cover for how for Big Shot to Harry Fraud, one of my favorite producers.

So he didn't executive album.

I don't know executive that was that was me and Harry, Me and Harry, and that was during the pandemic.

So we didn't even really.

Get a chance to really sit down together, like that ship was kind of through zoom and ship like that.

Like I'm in the stool the lambtype.

I'm talking like he like we together, but we ain't together, like you know what I'm saying, Like we had the camera and ship like that role, but that's really how we did half it was the COVID shit was out.

I reached out the west Side.

That's the harmy Benny Conway all, Griselda, that's that's family, you know what I'm saying.

But I know he fucked with the art and I'm a fan.

Of the art.

I just don't like with the act that I don't I didn't know how to get into that.

Somebody had to like pull you in.

You know you're perfect for this role exactly. And then I was like, oh this, I was waiting for some shit like that. Same with the art. I love art, but I don't really know how to get into that. And I know west Side is on that ship. Bro le me put this cover together, bro Like I'm doing some shit called HAWF for me and Harry Fraud Bennie on this ship, Like you know what I'm saying.

That's make it make sense.

And then he invited us up to Buffalo to his gallery and ship like that. Yeah, yeah, big shout out there, How was I went out there?

Now they solid, bro, and like I respect, they hustle.

You gotta remember, like me being from New York City, like all my life, nobody never spoke about Upstate besides jails, Like you.

Knew that's where you were to go to jail, go up state.

Yeah, if you go up if you go off top, you go up top. Like you get what I'm saying. Like, So for them to do what they did and really.

Bring the whole world to to their town and speak stories about where they're from, I salute them niggas forever. Yeah, shout out to those guys. Uh, how dope is it for you to see your boy Millie's just thriving out here. Man, he's blocked oat you guys. Obviously I love it, bro, and I knew it the whole time, Like project together.

You know what's crazy, big shout out to seth free. You know what I'm saying that that that really bridged, that connected that you know what I'm saying, Like back back before, this ship really was cracking for me, like we met in the Bronx at the original compound that set Free had, you know what I'm saying.

And Millie's from day one be hungry. Yeah, you know what I mean. I respect hungry like people that's really embedded in the culture.

It ain't about the jewelry.

Like I love to see somebody glow up, but that ain't it ain't really about that. You know, as time go on, you make more money, you advanced, You're gonna you're gonna do You're gonna look a little different. But he still stick to the script of what we got into this ship for. You know what I'm saying, Like he the reason I went to Columbia, Like I love I love Mellies.

I was Columbia. You ever been heard not a cocoa butter.

Bo guitar all that called know all that, Like I love Columbia, bro. Like I really spend time in Medayen working on this actual album and then me and Millies did on mad videos for Popia in one of Poplo's stash houses.

Really, what were the women like out there indoor pool the women with gorgeous and they ain't really speaking on English and shit like that. You hear about, like, do you know what have you heard of a passport? Bro? It's a passport? A passport, bro, what's a passport? Bro's like, this is sugar on violence. So this is what it is, right. It's like dudes from the United States who might not stand a chance to get the level of pussy, they're gonna get in right places like Columbia or Bangkok, Thailand

He said, I see, I'm in tune with that. I ain't doing no passport bro should though.

They were out there, though the bros were.

Out but it was love.

Like we got to the crib, they had the homies with the AK forty seven. I know I was safe. They was looking out fours. Everything was secured. We had the pool indoors. I went to Griselda Blanco Hood shot.

A video over there.

Jeez, I was in the trenches over there. I go to the trenches everywhere I go Jamaica, La.

Where do you Where do you enjoy vacationing the most? If I had to really choose, like if you're gonna not go to the trenches, you just want to relax.

Barbados, Barbatos. Yeah, that's my father. I'm beajing, you know what I mean. My father's father is from Barbados. So I think that's the most for me, peaceful.

I don't really get too much.

And if all the women look like Rihanna, God bless us. I don't think they all look like Rihanna and Barbatos. You know they say if you go to Australia, all the women look like Iza in Australia. I was supposed to go out there. Yo, Australia, I'm still coming out there. Don't worry about it. I'll be there. It's just like a long flight, the long I think it's the longest flight. That might be longer than Japan and Japan as long

Like out of all of the rappers that you know what I'm saying, Like I met or I really crossed paths with me and Stone got a different type of vibe and of course it came from from Nip, but we got our own type of energy type.

Shit. I love Stone. Is it pretty crazy? Like? Fuck? How many years has it been since we lost Nip? Was it? I was eighteen February? It was like early twenty eighteen. I was March thirty first, right before April Fools twenty nineteen nineteen, Yeah, because it was after Ration, a year before Shooter, so that was like, yeah, nineteen.

I feel like more than a lot of people, Bro, A lot of people jump into this ship and let the money or the labels, or the or the or the fame direct how they move.

And then Isaiah Thomas was running the team. I think it's the club. Nah, you don't think so. I don't know. You might know more than me because you probably you guys have the l a club wise, I'm a bugging night life. Yeah closed man early over here, correct, two am is over.

I would say New York City, we could be outside four five.

Is the club scene booming in New York right now?

No?

So the club scene is still decent here now.

But I'm talking about the years that the Knicks having Knicks New York was cracking.

Oh for sure.

Yeah, like you know what I'm saying. Like, so it's like it's like, fucking we lost. We're going to the tunnel. We lost, were going to speed we going.

You're still going to the strip clubs in New York like they were. They shut all our ships, damn man like so startlett's all that this luss is a dub, aces is a du like all the shit.

That like that we was really doing on a regular like when we really was like, oh nah, we got clubs in New York that every rapper is coming to.

They shot all that shit done.

Damn this new ship that's opening right now, that they trying to get back cracking since the pandemic.

But before the pandemic, we asked some spots, how crazy because I was in New York not too long ago, and it is so crazy to be somebody who's been going to New York for so long and how like illegal weed was there and you could just blow. It's like it's like people think there's super pause people there's smoke man. No, but people think like LA is crazy

To it ain't causing no crime, keV.

I felt like over time they felt they realized that shit like this shit ain't cracked like crackhat niggas wild. You know what I'm saying. I turned the city upside damn type ship.

The bud, which is why you're pressing us for the bud. But Bud make you do two things, laugh or get hungry, go to sleep or go to sleep three things. You know what I'm saying. Some people get pairing on it get very that mean, it ain't for you. I don't get parent off off the weed. I be.

I'm good off the weed, you know what I mean. So I'm glad they legalized it.

Like I went to a store by like I don't know, I bought a sandwich or some ship in like a soda, and they had the weed there for you too, And behind the fucking counter, the dude had weed and shrewd. But that's old school. I was like, this is crazy. Do your homework on mad bodegas in New York City. It was the bodega energy.

But one of the more entertaining human beings. I fun with him. I like his energy. Na. Yes, it's uh, it's fun to see, but no, it's it's in New York.

You'd be surprised how many spots is like you know what I'm saying, Like it looked like a spot, like oh they look like but you're going there and they got anything else?

And then you know what I mean, Yeah, dude, for sure, because there might be a cat in there.

It might be three gatorade bottles and the ship like, man, what y'all doing here?

Man? Is everything dusty?

And this ain't no store? Ain't nobody bought.

We went to a chop cheese in Harlem and they said it was the best chop cheese. It wasn't on Haunt for first half and with the yes, so that was the best. That was the best chop she was on earth? Who sent us there?

Who's the best chop she's on earth? Hope no Hormo, I hope Nick, Yeah, he said, yeah, that's yeah. I love nigga niggas Nikka solid, solid young nigga bro like that that that you you know what I mean? And it's crazy me and him had I had a little up and down or whatever early on, but I love what Nick doing. Bro, like Nick really running around and the right way representing the right way look good while he's doing this.

Guy solid, you know what I'm saying. His whole team like or with Nick. That's you obviously got a relationship with burn. You've worked with Burn. What is like something you've learned from Berner to apply to east Cohen? You know, just Burner entrepreneur, entrepreneur, the cover of fors an error periods, you know what I mean?

Nobody, you can't say ship bad about Burning Broody. Berner is so solid bro and the fact that he don't got a rap but he loves you Like, That's what I love about him. He don't have to do that. You don't have to rap, bro, Like he could do what he do and he don't got to rap, and he would still be Burner. But he loved the culture he's tapped in with with with with all walks of this ship like he I got him on the Deluxe Book of David.

I got him and.

Be Real, my brother from Cypress Hill, I got them on the remix of a record.

You know what I'm saying.

But but Burner's Burner beyond solid bro Like burn had been been the same way with me from the day I met him, you know what I'm saying. Like I watched him go through what he want and through he fought that shit, beat that ship.

You know what I'm saying, Like son is blessed. I fuck with Burner or shout out to burn Is east Coe like something that like you because I feel like like we were talking a little bit before, Like I feel like any rapper, if their team is like competent enough, can get a fucking If you have any sort of clout, any sort of follow you get a fucking weed strain, right, you should what made because because I was all I mean not naming another rapper who has a weed train

I smoke it, I sold it. That was one of my first hustles ever was weed.

You know what I'm saying.

We were selling We were selling two for fifteen's, three for twenties. My cousin Chid had the haze like I'm talking like Hayes Days, Like you had to go up to all the barn and get the.

Haze and familia and I mean he had to go uptown get the hair. Like. So my first, like little like twerks was was weed.

So to be able to have it on a global scale now or on some rapper ship, that's the that's the only ship everent me. You know what I'm saying, it's legal smoke my own pack. Anytime I pull up, I'm smoking my own ship. That ship that we you know, we always dreamed. I was always buying somebody else. We like now I got my own, my own strand that's that's that's pain, you know what I'm saying. So we all were all smoking my own ship. I feel mad good.

Explain the artwork on your new album.

Oh, j west Man, J west he from Harlem. He's an actual artist.

I mean, yes, yes he is.

He's no, he's a real like he gets busy, busy, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, you get busy. Yeah, he's different.

And I've been a feeling that it's worked for years. A lot of my covers was like either some ship from a photo shoot, you know what I mean. You know what I mean. So I'm like, nah, I want this ship.

Because when I sat and listened to the music, Big shut Out the Young Gurgule, Google mixed the entire album, you know what I mean. Like so that that in itself was legendary like cool and Dre did the intro with Kid with Kid Capri Like like I just when I really sat and listened to the body of work that I created, I'm like, nah, this is this is aw you.

Know what I mean.

So I had to tap into somebody that really do art, you know what I'm saying, And he got busy with that ship. But that's twenty four carried gold paint.

On that Jesus or where's the actual painting? He got it? Oh, he's got it. I gotta buy that from Yeah, I'm gonna get that. He sent me, and he sent me a number he's actually trying to sell. He should give it to you. No, he gonna sell that. That's about it.

I ain't even mad about it, like because you know what I mean, he really put time into it.

Somebody it's one of them and he kept it.

Really Like, bro, I can't really get this off somewhere, like you know what I'm saying, Like I need that?

How much is he asking for it? A couple of dollars and ten figures? Little under ten ten figures? No, five figures, little little under down you k under? You do it for me? I got the Family Price and it's my album, so it's your album. And you're talking about him giving them all this free fucking publicity. There's a picture of me on there, so you know he gave me the Family Price.

But big big shout out to Jay wesh Man haul them. He got busy with that ship. That ship is I feel like that's a piece that's gonna live forever. Yeah, you know what I mean?

What is your You always have a very interesting like you'll release ship like independently, and then you release something with the label, and then you'll release something independently by a din figured it out. So I'm just trying to figure out what kind of deal do you have because you got.

I got a pretty good big shout out the tunes death Jin. Heybody, bro, like you.

Could kind of you'll drop some like you'll throw like a Millie's project out, or you've put out some like quote unquote mixtapes right right. You know what it is, keV. I feel like.

From the person that signed me at death Gam till now. But I've been there, Bro, I didn't watch that ship like that shit is like musical chairs. It's somebody new coming in that ship every other year.

Do you think that's the problem with death Jam hasn't been continuity.

Uh kind of.

But it's like, all right, you got one CEO coming and he sold on your project.

He sold on who you are, right.

It's like you got to resell them on it. Every time.

The next person coming is like, he don't know me. He might be coming from a whole nother vibe.

That's like typical shit. What I mean, like, if your A and R gets fired, now you don't have someone in the building fires like a coach. Bro. It's the same ship with basketball.

When the coach get put to a new team, he might bring three four players with him and you might have been that guy on that team already.

But it's like, I mean, shit, I'm a Son's fan, you know what I mean? That new owner bought the fucking team.

And he had exploded and did what he wanted to do with it because he owned it.

It's the same with the label.

Luckily, big shout out to Tuni. He can't check me into projects before now signed me.

Wow, So he was already a fan through.

My space just when he was with TD.

Yeah, this is like twenty twelve, thirteen, some shit like that, before I ever got a damn in the hood, just putting shit out YouTube. He was one of them people that tapped in and fast forward almost ten fifteen.

Years he run in depth jam and I'm over there. It is crazy. I mean it's been that long because I crazy. I just I forgot what Action Bronson album. Just popped it on my shit. I fucked with Bronson. We go to the same You guys were very similar class. I feel like in terms of like I associate you guys. He was out before me though, like it was I

Bro, you don't have a song with either of them.

No, man, and I love both of them, and I personally know both of them.

We didn't met each other.

Vibe.

Joey really my guy, Like we run around week and all that type of Joey was on Wang.

I brought some cologne. You know, he was the originally inspected Deck. Wow, dude, I was on May season. He's a fucking cologne ad model.

Joey was inspected Deck and then he turned into he went to Power fifty. Must have throw that bag. You got a bout of Wu Tang. Yeah, we had a whole new.

Season three originally expected deck Joey was he backed out to do power.

You got a bout of there, Damn fifty. I don't know what they was doing over there, but I mean.

That last season. It wasn't like go watch it, go watch three seasons. It was wait, yeah he was. I've only seen season one. Was I only watched season one. It was me and me and Joey lived again. He was in. He was in season one, yeah, Power. So I didn't watch. I didn't watch it past season one because I feel like I didn't know what I think. I think fifty was like, mo know something more, little, something extra over here, and he killed that ship, killed it. He killed Power. I'm not gonna lie.

He fit that role perfectly, like he killed that ship.

I'm such a big fan of The Wire that like too. You know, I was gonna be more a little while. I just told niggas I was watching The Wire my favorite show ever. I ran it back from the first Yeah. I did that. During the pandemic, I watched I rewatched.

My Ship from the first season, like you gotta watch that whole ship.

It's the best. And then it makes you appreciate season two more when they go to the docks, because when that first first ran that way, you were like, what the fuck, where's Stringer at? Where's the where's my guys at? It's like these balding white men on the docks. Man, that's a great fucking season. Man. Entrepreneurally, what all I mean you got you say you got the store going? I mean we're just talking about you got something coming in Vegas?

I don't know if it's no weed, and you might could come get the merch, but it's but it's they know what, they know what's going on. Like, I feel like they're not pressing that as much as they was maybe five ten years.

Ago, because there's not like dispensaries in New York, right, is there? Oh there's three? Okay? Yeah, yeah, Because I'm like, I don't remember seeing any fucking new York's lit. The only thing you can't do in New York is have a gun and keep your money. You don't get caught with the hammer. That's it. Yeah, no guns, and if you have money, we want it.

It's a good cold with with the with the saying jeez, that's it. Might shit up for that. Everything else you cool.

If she has let him fuck like three hundred women since they've been together the camera, yeah, I mean on camera and off They've had three off camera tons at certain point in time, you got to throw one dick in the mix. You know, it's like a trade. The real question is how many bitches does your wife have to let you fuck? But for you let her take

No, man, if you really like I like you feel me, you could have hit a thousand bitches.

Not let my wife boom a nigga that boom ships do your homework. Gonna let the nigga at boom ship boom your wife, bro?

Yeah, Like if you're gonna let a dude fuck your wife, I don't hope that you would. And you could because he picked they picked this guy, I'd be like that. He just he just Dick's got to be smarter than mine.

For Adam is much is more what's the word like liberal? I guess he's just more understanding.

That's the world. He's more understanding. I mean there are also professional points in the average. This is what they do for like a living. They do that. It would be like if you started dating a bit who solderr pussy like uh, you know, on fucking backpage back and then you gotta understand what like this is your girl. She was already selling her.
