You know, I mean since you start.

Speaker 2

Yeah. Yeah, we got Jaystone in the building.

Speaker 3

Man, welcome Yeah, Man, I'm in here. Man, what's up? Kid?

Speaker 2

Welcome back?

Speaker 1

Man, Man, come on, man, welcome back. It's a new plaque.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we got a new spot. Man were here. Hey, So talk to me, like for you, why was it time to kind of like put a bow on the series, because you're kind of known for the Definition series, Like it's something that kind of started, gave you the original idea. Fact, why put a bow on it? Why was it time?

Speaker 1

I just felt like, you know, this is the time, and you know, a point in time in my life. You feel me where I'm on some different shit. Bro, I ain't thinking the same Harry Sink the same. You feel me like I'm on some success ship. Bro, this is this is the time now, you feel me like, so that's just what I'm on.

Speaker 2

I somehow feel like when we talk about La Rap, you're always overlooked.

Speaker 1

Yeah, man, when they mentioned La Rap, man, they need to mention me more.

Speaker 3

You feel me.

Speaker 2

I feel like they don't. And I always tell this to people, like you've done such a great job of like like kind of just flying under the radar, becoming a millionaire off of an independent catalog, like doing shit that most rappers can't do. Yeah, dropping when you.

Speaker 1

Want, Yeah, and I'm you know, I'm good with that. You feel me like I don't really need I don't really need like props from the majors or none of that, because I'm solidified already. You feel me like real motherfucker's fuck with me, you know what I mean, Like the real cats in the industry fuck with me.

Speaker 3

Bro.

Speaker 1

Like so at the end of the day, it's like I ain't really looking for no validation, But at the same time, it's like, don't forget about me. I'm over here running these crazy laps.

Speaker 3

You feel me?

Speaker 2

Yeah, and you you're like a very much like you know at this point man, like in La hip hop, you're you're a figure man.

Speaker 1

Man, Man, don't count me out. Count me in for sure. Like add that up, y'all did the wrong total. Add that up, burn money, don't work over here, man, count that over?

Speaker 3

You feel me?

Speaker 2

I was gonna say for you, was there ever any opportunities that came up that you passed on or that you didn't decide to go with when it comes to like maybe taking a direction or step in the direction of being more on a major situation or a bigger distribution situation.

Speaker 3

Yeah, damn there. You know.

Speaker 1

I didn't set I DIDNET sat with Labels bro, I didn't sat with I sat with rock Nation, you know what I mean. I sat down or a rap a lot, you know what I mean? Yeah, shout out for sure, shout out to Trade, you know what I mean, Shout out to Jay Prince. I sat down. We had a conversation. We talked about the vision you feel me, and he asked me, like what I wanted to do. He was ready to do everything that I wanted to do.

Speaker 3

You feel me.

Speaker 1

But like whoever kind of was like middle man in the situation, I don't think he knew like that they was, you know, talking the way that they was talking because I had a conversation with Jay Prince, so that wasn't the conversation we had when I talked to the you know, the middle man's and all that you feel me, so it was just something different, you feel me. So I just tried to stay independent, you know what I mean, until I can holler at the boss man you feel me myself on the boss man tip?

Speaker 2

Yeah, not, I mean that. I think that's because what are you doing? Toune core distric kid? How are you putting out your ship right now?

Speaker 1

Man?

Speaker 3

I'm strictly independent.

Speaker 2

Man.

Speaker 1

It's twenty five eight, no breaks, man.

Speaker 2

No, but you gotta obviously you got to music out of course. So like what service do you use?

Speaker 1

I don't use no service. I am the service is man, So you don't have it. I'm putting my ship out, man.

Speaker 2

You're putting your ship directly on the DSPs. Yeah, okay, that's great.

Speaker 1

No, I ain't doing it myself, but you know, I don't want to give away.

Speaker 2

Well because like a lot because like you know, for people who don't know, there's like distruct kid and tune corps, which in my opinion, make it very easy to be independent.

Speaker 1

For sure, let me not pay producers. Shout out the tone cor shout out the tone Core. I've been rocking with them since day one.

Speaker 2

Because you're still fully independent. All you're doing is paying them at one time feet.

Speaker 1

And giving and giving everybody what they entitled to. Yeah, you can do splits, right exactly, you can do that now.

Speaker 2

Yeah, because that's the one thing is like when you're an independent artist, I'm sure it can get really really like, yeah, overwhelming to get taken care of.

Speaker 3

Got to get taken care of. Feature all right, I had anything.

Speaker 2

To do, let me break you off.

Speaker 3

Here's your points, Yeah for sure.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but you know, but that's what the majors don't do, you know, they don't. Yeah, they rather they're rather they're rather buy your percentages out real nice checke.

Speaker 2

Well, and they'd rather like dick you around as if you're a writer or a producer. There's a reason you.

Speaker 1

Can get the same. You can get the percentages but not get the money on.

Speaker 2

And it takes forever, you know, I just saw Internet Money. The dude who runs Internet Money was saying, like, I'm gonna start calling some of these major labels out because you guys over a year past doing some of my producers like fees.

Speaker 1

Like it's like, yeah, after a while, you look around and you'd be like, man, the numbers don't add up. Some ain't adding up. The numbers ain't adding up, you feel me. But like when you when you don't see that dash board, when you really don't see the actual numbers and where they're going. You know, they say numbers don't lie, that's a lie. Numbers lie too for you.

Speaker 2

Do you notice, like because I always try to look at you know. I talked to Parico about this a little bit, but he's like, look, now that I'm independent and I'm off rock Nation, he's been leveling up because he could drop on every once and he was like, now when I drop, it's almost like the stock market, like I put some new shit out and everything else spikes up like catalog.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah, So that's the beauty of it. Just keep on being consistent. You can't just drop a project and then wait two three years and drop another project. Like That's why I really didn't want to tell nobody because you know, motherfucker's be you know, watching how do my little shit? And yeah, you feel me, But I ain't gonna lie. As soon as the ball drop I dropped January first, I'm dropping the project. February fourteenth, I'm dropping another project.

March whenever I'm dropping another project. Like, right, you've been on it, bro, I'm dropping twelve albums next year. Bro, So next year, I'm dropping twelve albums, one each month.

Speaker 2

How much music right now are you sitting on? Uh?

Speaker 3

Unlamited? Bro?

Speaker 1

I can't even really imagine how much music I got because I still got old stuff from me and Nip we did back in the day in two thousand and six and beyond.

Speaker 3

You feel me like you.

Speaker 2

Like, what do you do with that? With those records?

Speaker 3

Uh?

Speaker 2

Just do you just keep them? Is there?

Speaker 1

You know? Me and I have always had conversations about just you know, running the music up first, running up what we got now, and then you know, just built that cat and then like introduce him to the old ship. But that was when I didn't have a crazy catalog, you feel me, So you know, yeah, I got a crazy catalog now, so we can kind of like bring up them old MySpace mixtapes and crazy yeah you know what I mean, a lot of unreleased shit.

Speaker 2

So yeah, yeah, I was gonna say for you, like, uh, you know, we talked about the LA conversation. Who are some of the up and coming LA artists that are outside of the camp that you're just a fan of that you're just like, yo, I see what you're doing. There's there's so many new guys that are doing their thing.

Speaker 3

X Force.

Speaker 1

I ain't gonna cap I'm gonna give it to us whole summer right now, because you know, a lot of motherfuckers don't want to mention his name.

Speaker 3

They don't want to really number Yeah, you feel me. And I know a lot of guys I know, yeah, I know.

Speaker 1

They see little Bro, you feel me, but they gonna act like they don't. That's what they do, you feel me. They gonna wait to something big happening and everybody else is on to it, and then they gonna want to fuck with him.

Speaker 2

But hey, he does have the song underrated for a reason because he is an underrated guy. It's so crazy, like he's doing numbers that most artist.

Speaker 1

I be feeling like that underrated should be like an understatement.

Speaker 2

Yeah for sure, you know those dope have you guys got to work it all.

Speaker 1

Nah, But we be chopping up about doing music, you know.

Speaker 2

I mean he's a good kid man.

Speaker 1

It ain't nothing to do nothing. That's easy, man, Yeah, that's easy.

Speaker 2

You feel We had trade the truth up here a couple of weeks ago, and he had alluded to the fact that you guys have an unreleased project somewhere.

Speaker 3

Yeah we got we got me and Trey got music.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I didn't realize because he was telling us like how he has like unreleased albums with so many people.

Speaker 1

And I was just like, damn, Like that's one motherfucker. I know that his work ethnic is crazy. Bro, Like he had dropped a project.

Speaker 2

On his phone. He's like, bro, I got album with this person.

Speaker 3

He got songs where everybody.

Speaker 1

I don't know if you heard, like you know, because he do the im owns like you know, he got he got the series of that ship.

Speaker 3

You feel me.

Speaker 2

I think he's working on a new one.

Speaker 3

I don't think you heard that one.

Speaker 2

Bro. No, he didn't play me that one, but he play me some other ship. He played me some crazy ship.

Speaker 1

You should have had him play that the latest I'm on he been see I'm saying too.

Speaker 3

No, he talked about it a little bro he got he got a lot of motherfuckers on there. Bro, they almost want to get on that.

Speaker 2

You should, someone should do like a West Coast version of that, try to unify the city.

Speaker 1

That's what I'm saying. We need to do something because we ain't really got too much going on out here like that. You Yeah, I think we need another uh not a we are the world, but uh now do we do something like that for la? What's that record that Ice Cube did? I mean easy he did what uh he did with yo yo.

Speaker 3

He deal with.

Speaker 1

Everybody like all the rapper I feel ten minutes songs, ten minute song bro politics, Yeah, ice t you too were bringing you back outside you too because I know you got something to say. Spill some game to these youngsters, man, they need it now.

Speaker 2

I think it'd be dope too, because like you said, like you know, I think Big Sean did something like that. He had a bunch of people. He did the Detroit for Style or Cipher and it half. Yeah, there was like twelve Detroit rappers and like a lot of them that was.

Speaker 1

On his latest album, right, but did he do a video to it?

Speaker 2

No, but because a lot of the guys had issues with each other. But at the end of the day, it was kind of dope because you you might have heard songs two guys on the song that you wouldn't have that.

Speaker 1

You would have never heard before. Yeah, but see, only like people like Big Sean can do that. Everybody can't, you know what I mean. Everybody don't got pulled like that in the city. You feel me, So it gotta be somebody that you know, the city respect.

Speaker 2

That shouldn't be hard. Yeah, there's the idea. Someone go execute it all right there it is. Who's on any features on the album?

Speaker 1

Yeah, we got some features on the album. We got we got on the album. Man, I got a I got Nick Bucks shout out the Nick Buck and.

Speaker 2

He just got shot too, right, Yeah, I think.

Speaker 1

He shout out to my brother. Y'all talked to him, great dude.

Speaker 2

We went to Harlem and hung out with him.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, real nigga, man, for sure. I got a song with him. I got a record with being Trey feel Me on the same record. Yeah, on he Town Bob. I'm always out there, so you know, I gotta show my little la h town love you feel me?

Speaker 3

What else?

Speaker 1

I got domb you and I got domb you tell me? Damn man meeting it? Hit boy and uh d.

How motherfucker can just come home and just act like you ain't even been to jail, like you ain't didding no time. Bro.

Speaker 2

His son got all the IL beats ready to just ready to come. Bro.

Speaker 1

That reminds me of how I was when I was fresh out, you know what I mean, Like I hit the ground running.

Speaker 2

I think two is inspiring because it's like, no matter what situation you're put in, like it ain't never too.

Speaker 3

Late to like nah, it's never too late.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Like this is a second like because I remember this is second go with the rap game in terms of like us seeing him because you know when.

Speaker 1

Man, a lot of billionaires didn't get that billion until it was about forty or fifty.

Speaker 2

That's facts.

Speaker 1

You know what I mean, so it don't limit yourself doing nothing, man, I don't think nobody should ever limit theyself doing nothing. Sure, you gotta keep this shit going because you never know.

Speaker 2

You never know, man, Like most like you said, most people kind of hit that success stride in their forties or fifties.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and then you gotta, you gotta, you know, you gotta kind of take his situation and kind of look at it too, like maybe he had to go through that.

Speaker 2

To get to the mental space.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you could win, yeah, exactly. Now Now now now look where his look where it's focused at.

Speaker 3

Now you feel me?

Speaker 2

So tell me about this record. It's You Nip produced by hit.

Speaker 3

Boy, produce by hit Boy.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, it's only album.

Speaker 3

It's on ALB.

Speaker 1

I'm low key ready to drop that right now, you feel me, But you know, I'll let you all wait for it.

Speaker 3

Man, let y'all.

Speaker 2

Was this a record you guys? Because I always had heard about the hit Boy Nip set. I think it was like the session that Racks in the Middle was recorded. Was this something you guys worked on when he was alive.

Speaker 3

Around that time?

Speaker 1

Yeah, there's something that we worked on in twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3

You feel me and.

Speaker 1

You know, we just spiced up the beat just a little bit, right, you know what I mean, because it's twenty twenty three now, of.

Speaker 3

Course, so you know he made it make sense.

Speaker 2

I really excited anytime we got new Nipsey coming.

Speaker 3

Nah, for sure.

Speaker 2

I know last time when you came on the show, you had dropped tidbits that may or may not have gotten you in trouble about there being a Nipsey hustle.

Speaker 1

Now, I didn't give me a joe, but that shit hit the blog that went everywhere and then and then I was just the only thing.

Speaker 2

And then there was people who were like, yeah, right, he's lying, Like I'm like, bro, like if anybody would know, it might be him, Like.

Speaker 3

Yeah, you feel me, Like come on man.

Speaker 1

And then all I said was like, bro, got so much music, Like, I'm pretty sure it's beshow.

Speaker 3

Gonna be another Niput?

Speaker 2

Is there an update there?

Speaker 1

I mean, shit, what's you think, bro? You don't think it's.

Speaker 2

Gonna have to be another nip album, man, because like you said, you you get so much unreleased music. It just has to be done the right way.

Speaker 1

That's the only thing is, Yeah, it ain't gonna get put out, just because because I because you.

Speaker 2

Speaker 3

Oh, which which one was?

Speaker 2

Better Days was fire? Better Days had some ship. But then there was like the ship that like he was working with like artists he would have never have worked with him when he was alive.

Speaker 1

Yeah, bro, Like what was that he had like a song with eminem and uh bro eminem bit the whole album bro he produced and because you bro, you had to get used to hearing pop on em and it was.

Speaker 2

More like some mash up like ship. Yeah, that's right, it was.

Speaker 1

That's that's that's all it was, you know what I mean. Like I'm a Pock fan, I'm an M and M fan, you know what I mean. But to hear Pac on an M and M B bro, it just kind of it wasn't I wasn't ready.

Speaker 3

I wasn't ready for it.

Speaker 2

It was just it was a little weird for sure. It'd be like if it would have been dope, if like some of the og producers was working with came and took some of those stems, curated something.

Speaker 3

Did it the right way, Dazzy producing production. You know what I'm saying, that's the right way to do it. Super Fly, bring Dash super Fly in there.

Speaker 1

You feel me maybe, d Yeah, you feel me and yeah, Drake can do the mixing even Quick too quick and you feel me quick going come on, man, Quick could have did that whole album.

Speaker 2

Crazy and it would have been more. It would have been more like, uh, you know, it would have sounded like a Tupac album.

Speaker 1

Nah, I definitely would have sound quick and uh dog pound on it like crazy for sure.

Speaker 2

Man. You know it's crazy too, Like obviously you're a big pock FuG life too. Uh. It's kind of crazy to see there's finally, like all these years later, someone got arrested for his death.

Speaker 3

What's that Tupac's death.

Speaker 1

Man, that's shit crazy, bro, And then we still don't even know, we still don't even know what to believe, man, you.

Speaker 2

Know, I mean, and that's the thing is like it feels, I mean, look as like a fan. I mean, you don't want to ever see anybody go to jail.

Speaker 3

But like but why but why so long though, like like this that's why. That's what.

Speaker 1

That's what seemed tricky is like you've been hearing the same story all along, all along, all along, like whyle y'all wait, this guy was doing all these interviews and he'd been doing interview.

Speaker 2

I think I think he's done so many interviews that had finally like come a fu like bro, yeah, your time Las Vegas metros like like radar where they're like wait, this guy's wait what like we should go see if this is because because I always tell people like the Tupaca they.

Speaker 3

Probably pinched them, you know what I mean, just.

Speaker 1

To just to get some more information.

Speaker 2

Right And and to me, the Twop Biggi murders were very different, Like the Tupac murder was some retaliation ship that really wasn't didn't have it was some street ship that that popped off in one night, as opposed to like the Biggie ship was like a hit. And depending on who you listen to, like the l a p D off duty cops might have been involved, Like I don't think the LAPD wanted to solve the Biggie murder

because it would have made them look crazy. The Tupac murder was just like, you know, Orlando Anderson died and that was who everybody was saying it was, you know, the guy behind it. So this dude's been doing all these interviews. Motherfuckers gotta stop to sell snitching.

Speaker 1

Bro crazy bro like people were just just just just.

Speaker 2

Literally snitch on themselves just for the views.

Speaker 3

Man, for real, It's crazy.

Speaker 1

You see you've seen that interview with No Jumper when he question and he said, he's like all right, So, I mean, you know, he didn't know how to have.

Speaker 2

He was. He was supposed to come on the show earlier this morning, but we rescheduled. I didn't know because he I didn't know. I had him come early because I don't know. I don't know LA politics. If you guys get along, I don't know.

Speaker 3

No, that's all good, you feel me.

Speaker 2

No, But you know, I don't know if I ra two La rappers in the same day.

Speaker 1

The earth is breaking out, nigga, The earth is my turf.

Speaker 3

I love that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1

I go anywhere, I'll walk anywhere if I run it or whoever is gonna be what is gonna be, if it's respect or respect, if it ain't it ain't you know what I mean?

Speaker 2

That clip was very funny though. You see that clip. Xport was just like Adam asked him if he was involved in some shootout on the video, and he just looked at him like this. Yeah, it's like damn, And I think you've shown like I gave you perhaps last time, like when you and t Rel did that interview on No Jumper that was like a big deal.

Speaker 3

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1

I went, I went out of town. I was somewhere out of town. I ran in to one of his homies and shit, he like, yeah, man from whover Man, I've seen that video you deal with my homie?

Speaker 3

Feel me now?

Speaker 2

I just think that ship should be like an example.

Speaker 1

For exactly so you see, like the difference in a respect level, you feel me? Like, yeah, I think like because I told him, I'm like, you know, motherfucker's either gonna hate it or love it.

Speaker 3

He like both. He like they gonna hate it or they gonna love it. You know what I mean. Like it is what it is. But so what you feel me?

Speaker 2

Yeah, I just think it's like it's important to be able to show people like, you know, we can't break the cycle.

Speaker 1

And some of my homies knew who he was. Like when I let the homies know, like you feel me, like they knew who he was?

Speaker 3

Yeah, I mean yeah, man, you know great guy. So Louke.

Speaker 2

So next year for sure, twelve albums for.

Speaker 3

Sure, already already put it.

Speaker 1

See one thing about me once I started out all right, So I got my January album ready okay, so that's ready mix a massive ready.

Speaker 2

So we're going from November twenty second to the January.

Speaker 3

Album straight into the January album.

Speaker 2

Damn you ain't playing?

Speaker 3

Yeah, And I thought about it.

Speaker 1

I'm like, damn, I need to give you know, successful time to breathe, you feel me.

Speaker 3

And all that.

Speaker 1

But like you know, with the game right now, bro, the years it's gonna be a new year.

Speaker 2
