You know what I'm saying. It's never been an issue for me. So, just to keep myself relevant and things, shit, I'm locked up, not fucked up. So whatever was going on, you feel me, I made sure I was in tune with it, because you got guys that get in there and just get lost in time and forget that the world's still spinning and shit ain't the same, no more.

And how we use our time is how we respect our time and how we make it work With time and how you use your time. While you was locked up, you know what drove you, what motivated you.
Speaker 2:See, I ain't even going to lie. For the first five years it was kind of hard because, in the sense of just resting to the point where I was you know what I'm saying and having to realize and then people start leaving and things just start changing and I'm knowing that, like shit, this is where I could die at. If I don't get my shit together. You know what I'm saying, this would be my story, this would be the end of my story. So, like, off the top, I knew I had to, and it's just growth. You know what I'm saying. It's just growth.
Speaker 2:Like, once you get to growing, and you get to you know what I'm saying utilizing your time in a positive way. Are you going to be able to you know what I'm saying subdue all the things that's in front of you? Like? It's not like that, you feel me? So like I utilize my time all different type of ways, of course, music. Music was a great outlet Working out you know what I'm saying Reading, oh God, and then a support system. I had a great, a lot. You feel me so, yeah, things like that with my time. I can't say it was just the hardest, but it wasn't easy.
Speaker 1:Facts, facts. There ain't nothing easy when you ain't with your family. Yeah, most definitely you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:You ain't got somebody to tell you what to do. I mean, Tom, I tell anybody and even me being in Detroit, and I tell people this all the time like I didn't really understand life until I went to Detroit. And when I went to Detroit I was so green, out here in Tennessee, back in West Tennessee, I was just a nigga playing football, video games, going to Florida, Hollywood, chilling. I was green, I didn't really understand being outside. And then when I went to Detroit, I was a country nigga that it was just like you know, this nigga green, we're going to get off. I was a country nigga that was just like this nigga green, we gonna get off. And I had to learn quick With the city and how it worked. So you, you going inside and you know what I mean. You was already Really solidified On the outside but you really, you really learned you know what I'm saying how to really work the system.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying and I think now you got a differentboy in the D, big J. He was in there for 10 years. My man said I ain't institutionalized on function. I said and he always hit me with that he said I ain't institutionalized on function, so I be like man what you mean, but he be, like man, he Speaking on time, and how you worked your time and everything.
Speaker 1:A lot of things changed since you've been gone. A lot of people ain't here, no more. You know what I'm saying. I definitely want to make sure we give the utmost respect to my boy, lucha, aka Kai. I know him as Kai. I know you do as Lucha. That's my dog and, of course, tybo. You know what I'm saying. How did you deal with that when he was inside and when all that was going on? How did you work through that? I?
Speaker 2:ain't going to lie. I took that shit hard. You know what I'm saying, especially because these people that I talk to every day, you know what I'm saying. I wanted to witness me getting out. You know what I'm saying Because we talked about it so much and I'm one of them people when things don't go as planned, it bothered me. You know what I'm saying. It fucked me up. So, like, yeah, I took that shit to the heart. You feel me, especially when it happened, because I ended up losing Luchi first and then Tybo ended up dying 11 months later. You feel me? So, yeah, that shit right there kind of took a toll on me, but I already knew I had to keep pushing. You know what I'm saying, because I'm going to do it. You know what I'm saying. That's what drives me right now with this shit.
Speaker 2:Since I came home, I hit the ground running. You know what I'm saying. What has it been what? 10, 11 days I've been out like 10, 11 days. So you know what I'm saying. Like the work ethic Is dirt. You feel me. We just trying to Get in front of these Big labels and shit and man, let these folks Know that, yeah, my NCSA and my dude Don't play no game. Like you said, I've been doing this shit Since we were little you feel what I'm saying when a nigga was rocking With STM and shit like that, and that was when the rap game was, or you had to pass your CDs out and shit.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying when you had to be all that type of shit. You know what I'm saying. So me witnessing that as young as I was, like that put me in a whole other element. Like I got to see that side of the game. You feel what I'm saying. Now I get to see it in this element with social media. Oh, okay, you know what I'm saying. So all I got to do is just put it in their face. Every day I wake up, every day I'm moving like I'm a celebrity. I came home like I already got a deal. You feel what I'm saying. So you know that type of shit right there. You know what I'm saying. So, yeah, losing Lucha and Bo back to the siblings, though, yeah, that shit put me in a whole nother mind state, but it put that fire in me. Like it put me in a whole nother dynamic. Like, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1:On me, on me and, I think, the biggest thing when I listen to, because you brought up the music, we got P and we got Slide.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you know as a DJ, the coalition DJ of the state of Tennessee, you know automatically when I heard them and when they pop P. You know P gave me that, like you know it gave me that old school ride on the cadillac and talking that and I was like damn and he slid on it. Slid on it yeah it's a lot but slide, though slide. Slide slid a different way and it ain't the same sound a lot of get the same sound. So you, you got these tracks coming. Are we when we drop?
Speaker 2:it. Oh man, we drop it on p on all platforms right now, facts, and so it's slide. You feel what I'm saying? But we dropping the tape, we dropping the album on Thanksgiving.

That's going to be on all platforms next in the next you know what I'm saying three to five days. So they need to be looking for that. You know what I'm saying Because I had already dropped First Day Out before I dropped P and Slide. It was just the feedback I got off Slide on TikTok. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Slide went viral on TikTok. I got 132,000 views and counting on Slade just freestyling it without the beat Rob Markman.

So before y'all go out there and Black Friday shot, make sure you got that tape on man no bull, no bull. So you know the next thing you know I want to talk about. A lot of my people want to hear about your upbringing. Of course you know how it was growing up in the eights. You know what I'm saying, how it was being from Carroll County, you know what I mean. A lot of my people want to know what were some of your influences in music ah yeah.
Speaker 2:so, um, you know, um Growing up with the influence in music and shit, like I said, my big cousin and they was always in the music and shit like that. Then you had, of course, one of the small town legends, mac Goo you feel what I'm saying he was like yo got it.
Speaker 2:When he come, it's like a movie. You feel me. So, as far as with that rap shit, when he made it happen, you feel me, I've been rapping. I was the one go to my cousin's house. I had a laptop in the backpack and we recording in the room with a computer microphone. You can hear everything on that, motherfucker, your jacket. Get the moving Everything. You got to be quiet. Yeah, you got to be quiet. All type of shit.
Speaker 2:And you know, I remember, like my cousin, stack, stack, plenty, plenty guy, you feel me? He used to make me to get on the song with him. I'd write a verse. He told me this the other day. He'd be like that verse hard but he made me throw it away. He was like, nah, you can come hard in that. And he used to pause me. He used to fuck with me.
Speaker 2:I'd be like, damn, you want me to throw the verse away and shit, and like that right there, like help me out. That's why I'm able to you feel what I'm saying Able to be able to do this shit and speak this shit fluently. When it comes to this rapping and shit like that shit helped me out. You know what I'm saying. It's kind of like constructive criticism. You feel me Like I guess he witnessed that shit in me early on and like now I'm a beast. You feel me Like at this point on he want them folk calling me the goat. I want them calling me the beast. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, back in the day, man, 100 man, that table. Yeah for sure, right here at the table. Yeah, all that Nigga come around. Yeah, in school, you feel me Nigga getting, nigga getting.
Speaker 1:Nigga getting Top bad too and rapping at the table it was. It was always a vibe man 20. What was that? 08, 08, 09.
Speaker 2:Yup.
Speaker 1:Up in high school man, I already. It was a different vibe and the upbringing you was real. Though your music, I think a classic, a classic of yours. I still got it in my DJ set and I throw it in and I mix in. Welcome to the Lion's Den.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1:Videos to this day. Hey, listen To me, I tell folks. The track itself was for me. Now I'm older, as a DJ was when I knew you had talent.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Going back and listening. I didn't really listen to the music back then, but now when I think about it and just listen, the man went crazy on. Welcome to the Lion's Den. Let me tell y'all something man Beat was fire. Don't know who produced the beat, I don't even know where I got that. Man Beat with fire.
Speaker 2:Beat with fire Video authentic. I was on house arrest when I made that song. I was on house arrest. I recorded that shit On house arrest With the ankle monitor on. You was at the crib yeah, I was at the crib when I recorded it. Then I ended up Getting off house arrest and we ended up.
Speaker 1:Shooting a video. Yeah, that video man, you got a lot of folks from back home up in the video. You know you got Ashton up in that thing, I think.
Speaker 2:Bo's in that thing. Yeah, Bo might have been in that motherfucking thing. He might have been locked up though.
Speaker 1:We had a lot of niggas back home that was in the video. The song stood straight. I mean, word For World Bar For Bar Jones poppin'. I ain't gonna lie. I hear this shit now and I don't going to lie to you.
Speaker 2:I don't even like it. You don't like it. I don't even like this shit man. It's just down to the far elevation and shit. I'm like, yeah, music's changed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but for that time though yeah, most definitely, most definitely, Most definitely. For that time, for sure, I was so young, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, for their time, he said space day with these bars.
Speaker 1:Like I wrote that on pluto man listen, I'm I listen to bumping I tell folks I tell folks now back home know the word for word like you can put that on slide and ride too if they from the area. They know the. You know what I'm saying. So and I think you are you. You're a, you're a legend.
Speaker 1:You're a legend back home, man, you're a legend and the biggest thing for me is you know, and I think a lot of folks also want to know as well is what is? What is? Because you got a lot of people in your corner got a lot of people in your corner, a lot of people that care about you, a lot of people that want to see you win. What is going, what do you feel like it's going to take in your circle to?
Speaker 2:get. We got to be a team. I'm real big on organization as far as having structure and shit. We most definitely going to have to be like that, all on one accord. It's going to take a lot of this. It's going to take a lot of footwork. We're going to have to be everywhere, be in these folks' face and just keep dropping this music, of course, and getting these visuals to it and getting to these label mates tagging people in that shit. You know what I'm saying. Like all that, like it's going to take some work and that's what I realized Like back then. Like I never took rapping serious because I was in the streets and you can't do that. It's a juggling process. You feel what I'm saying? Especially when you're rapping about this shit and you really doing that, you're going to miss out. You know what I'm saying? You bound to run into a dead end. So I mean, that's what happened. That's how I ended up doing them 12 years.
Speaker 1:I feel like it glorified too, though, Because I feel like a lot of folks. I talk to a lot of artists that talk a lot of things. They don't live that, and then when somebody talk to them about it and they don't know what they're really doing, it kind of make their music sound flawed.
Speaker 2:Right, right, right right. But when you're living it and you've done it.
Speaker 1:you can speak on it, speaking on the time, speaking on the things you went through, the things you did. Yeah, it gives it groundwork in what you're doing.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? It gives it substance.
Speaker 1:You got to have that, yeah, like, for example, if a nigga tell me hey, man, I just went and did a bid for 12 years and come talk to these kids, or come talk to the community, nigga's going to probably want to listen to you, Even anybody that's active. You know they're trying to give feedback, but if somebody ain't really never done them before. You know what I mean. Busta the Grape ain't never really been outside before. We want to talk about how they're in the streets In the music.
Speaker 1:They don't really articulate too well. It sounds real crazy. So I think that's really big on what you're doing in your music, because you, speaking on what you've done, you speaking on how you're moving forward, doing growth, and I think that's big Growth is really big. So then, you know, I got to know this as well, because when you was in there and you're doing your time and you, you know, I don't think nigga, no black. Last time I saw black, you know I'm saying black, we was, you know, I was all a big nigga black. You know I said ate good, black came. Hey, listen y'all. Black came out, man, man, like what the hell is it? What the hell? Like you eating on me? You, you came out little, my god, like you know you, you ain't little what you know I mean. No, you came back.
Speaker 1:Like you, you was on a good diet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I remember I had went up for a parole. They hit me for two years. I was sick because everybody I had I probably had my family in there, plenty of them they came for the support and shit and they hit me for them two years and they fucked with me. I was pissed so I was like next time I come in front of these folks for two years I'm gonna be a totally different person. You feel what I'm saying? I'm finna work out and it just like I feel a little working out and then just as far as health wise and stuff, you know what I'm saying because, like in prison, you kind of grow this little anxiety thing. Well, I did, you feel me, you go, this anxiety thing because just dying, and you know what I'm saying so, like to me.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. Being gangster is longevity. You feel what I'm saying. Like you know you want to live as long as possible. You know what I'm saying. You want to be able to see. You know what I'm saying. Some shit. This shit changed over three, four, five, six times. You know what I'm saying. Like, yeah, this is what I'm going to do and to this day I came home. I'm still working out, I'm still moving in that fashion Like I'm on the yard. You know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying so yeah, I ain't going to lie, I got on that workout plan heavy every day. You know what I'm saying. Then I started seeing myself progress and once you see the progress, once you this what I gotta do, woo, woo, woo, woo.
Speaker 1:You feel me, you know, I took it and ran with it. That's real, that's real. Cause shit, man, put me on that Motherfucker with you.

Speaker 1:You finna, so you know I gotta also ask when you got out, what was the first thing? You went and got you Something good to eat.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we went to Farmer's Market or some shit like that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, in the borough. Yeah, I went and ate a plate and shit. By Planet Fitness over there.
Speaker 2:Yo Farmer's Market? I think so. Yeah, we went and ate something and shit man, oh yeah, y'all ain't good.
Speaker 1:Farmer's.
Speaker 2:Market, farmer's Market. Be straight, man, I got food so fast though I ain't even going to lie Like I got food quick as hell, so I ain't even know anything. I ain't even thinking about eating right now. You feel me? I'm trying to get my affairs in order and see what the fuck I need to do to make sure this shit pop off and you know what I'm saying where I don't slip up and fuck up. You feel me?
Speaker 1:Oh for sure, I know the emotion arms. Seeing the fans, everybody, seeing you first time, the emotions, man, how was that feeling coming out, the emotion you had coming out and seeing the people physically in the flesh, right there with you.
Speaker 2:I was surreal, like probably like the night before I was, you know, not even the night before, like 12 years before, I always dreamed about, like, what that day was going to be, like, like how I was going to feel. Like you know what I'm saying, it was surreal. It was surreal. It was to the point where I ain't going to say I was numb. It was just like damn. Like right now I'm still trying to fathom the fact that I'm free. You know what I'm saying After just doing shit day in, day out, the same shit. You know what I'm saying. So, like it was surreal, it felt good, though what I'm saying. That really just you know what I'm saying. They motivate me more than anything because they want to see me progress in life. So you know what I mean. That shit right there made me feel wonderful, like it's a feeling I can't even explain.
Speaker 1:That was raw emotion when I saw it. I saw it on BAM's Instagram when I first saw it.
Speaker 2:That motherfucker went viral. On TikTok too that motherfucker went viral. Got like a hundred something thousand views on that motherfucker.
Speaker 1:That motherfucker. It was so real. He coming through, coming through, all black coming through, and it was just the emotions were so real and I feel like a lot of folks, you know, a lot of people can't really stand and say like you know how it raw emotion of actually having someone that they've traveled with and they've worked with for so long, a loved one, coming out.
Speaker 2:They do their time with you. They do, they do.
Speaker 1:The difference is somebody gets to go home every night and somebody don't. And I think that's important that you have a support team that really rocked with you, checked in with you and really loved you and showed love to you. Yeah, for sure. So you know. Know another thing as well. I definitely know I'm curious on as well, and you know we're gonna, we're gonna chuckle back and joke a little bit, you know, I mean have a good time with as well. How do you feel about? How do you feel about? You know, with the music, with the music game? How was it with you being in on the inside, was you able to know what's going on social media wide? Like? Was things slow in there? How was that lifestyle for the most part? Like, for example, with social media, because I don't know, I'm green to this part of it Like, I know.
Speaker 1:Like, for example, we know who the president is, for example right, but let's say like all this Diddy shit going on, for example, like do y'all get news? That's I got social media still.
Speaker 2:Like put it on game. Oh yeah, you know, you know shit, of course, tv. You know, in prison we got TVs and shit. So you know TMZ gonna put you up On a lot of shit and then if you Some type of nigga that's having some type of motion, you know there's other ways that you gonna be able to see what's going on In the free world.
Speaker 2:And then, like you know, prison still Like because you still get magazines in prison, so motherfuckers, getting all different type of magazines, hip-hop, weeklies and shit like that, that's going to keep you up on a lot of shit. That's going on, you feel me, so you're able to keep up with the freeware, and I'm one of them type of people I want to know I had my brother in them send me pieces of shoes and clothes, what they wearing out there. Oh yeah, send me this.
Speaker 1:Woo-doo-doo Because you don't want to come out looking like you still in 2001 and shit. You feel what I'm saying On me? Yeah, Because, yeah, because, if you think about when you first had went in and then coming out, like you know, the president was different. You know what I'm saying. It was Obama Facts. You know what I'm saying. Now we got you know. Now we got, of course, Biden. You know what I'm saying. I was 19. And just thinking about everything I went through from 19 to now and everything you went through growing, Like you know, tell people how you feel like you're going to want to make a change in your music, with people's lives when it comes down to that Hopefully, hopefully, it touched somebody.
Speaker 2:Hopefully to the point where you know what I'm saying and to be to the point where it give you motivation, where it's to the point where you know what I'm saying. If I could do this shit and get out and maneuver and make this shit happen and stay free, you know what I'm saying. I'm trying to do a life sentence on the town. I'm trying to be out for life. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to do a 51 year sentence at this motherfucker, rob Markman. For them people behind the walls. For them, people that stealing that motherfucker and don't feel like that their end date is never coming. Or for the ones that's got life and waiting on them appeals to come through. Shit like that and the people on the street, because you got people that's out here that's really incarcerated, that's stuck with a pattern that they do day in, day out. That's incarceration. That's a prison in your own mind Just being able to promote good things, health and longevity, all that type of shit. You know that's where I'm at with it.
Speaker 1:Well, that was deep right there, I ain't thought about it. When he said that, Hold on wait, he said this folks that's free, that's incarcerated living life. Hey, that's deep as fuck right there. I I ain't never really looked at it like that, but a lot of folks is facing demons on the outside, though Not, as you said it, like that, no bullshit. So you know, with you out now, give me at least three artists, if you could, right now that you want to work with?
Speaker 2:Oh, of course you know I'm a 90s baby, you feel me. So, man, you know I'm boosted all the way I'm boosted. I'm boosted all the way I'm boosted. Then I fuck with Honeycomb Braze or something. So when they free Honeycomb Braze, I'm trying to link in with him so tough because I fuck with dude. I heard his moves and be like damn dude done been through some shit. You know what I'm saying. You can hear a nigga rapping. You be like he said some shit we done did and that motherfucker, you feel what I'm saying. So, yeah, honeycomb Braze. On the third person, I ain't going to lie, let me see, man, the third one, let me see, I ain't going to lie. Who out there popping they shit man that I fuck with. I fuck with Rilo Rodriguez. I've been on Rilo Rodriguez. Yeah, I've been on him tough, you feel me. And ESTG, you said three, but I forgot about it, that's all right.
Speaker 2:So yeah, it's a few of them. I wouldn't mind jumping in that stew with him. I wouldn't mind dropping some hot shit. Of course I was different.
Speaker 1:Rob Markman. So you know I'm going to show you something. Honeycomb, my boy, PB Pluto, I done produced for PB Pluto. Pluto actually got work with Honeycomb they got a track together. That nigga actually is before he went. That nigga tough for real. That nigga actually is talented as hell.
Speaker 2:Definitely he got me through so much shit on the yard I'm working out. I'm full of that. Hunnicon brazen, turn you, hear me, I fuck with brazen Free brazen man hey on me Free brazen.
Speaker 1:No cap. So you know as well as you know what I mean. Give me, you know and this is just us having a conversation on how it went down and everything. When it came to being in there, like what was, maybe you'd say, if you could, what was one of the most. This is a young you.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I'm pretty sure after the first three to five, you kind of like and maybe not, maybe it was six, seven. That's why we want to hear your story. But a young you first, in what was maybe one of the most craziest but also like whoa moments that you seen up in the penitentiary.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, the first time I seen a nigga get killed, first time I seen a nigga get killed, I knew. Then I was like damn, I could die in this motherfucker. That woke me up, you feel me. So now, my, you know what I'm saying. My alertness is up to the point where, oh shit, I ain't finna be in this bitch shoe shoeing and playing, and shit. You know what I'm saying Because, at any given moment, the same nigga that you playing cards and spades with, that's the op. That'll be the same person that you're going to be sticking a knife in, or he's going to be sticking a knife in your back. You know what I'm?
Speaker 1:saying God damn, yeah, so prison.
Speaker 2:Prison that type of mindset, like we having a standoff in front of each other, where this shit finna go down and it's your friend, this is a nigga. You in the cell with smoking weed and y'all grew a bond, y'all just two different type of sex, you feel me? Now it's to the point where, yeah, you go your way, I go my way.
Speaker 1:Hopefully we don't end up meeting up. Hopefully we don't end up meeting up.
Speaker 2:So we ain't got lie. I ain't letting know if I with you, I'll leave.
Speaker 2:I'll let them know that I'll close but yeah, like I ain't really just let too many people know. And then it was to the point where I didn't want to get excited about it because I went up for parole probably like seven times and got hit every time. You feel what I'm saying. So I was just I didn't go lie to the point where when I went up, I was like shit, even if they don't give it to them, I'm going to flatten out in like six, seven months. So I went to the point, went to that motherfucker parole her, and like shit, whatever happened going to happen. And shit, that motherfucker came back, that final season came back and them folks were freeing me. So then I think my nerves kind of kicked in.
Speaker 2:you feel me To the point where I'm getting my people together hey, make sure you got this, Make sure you got this. Hey, why you ain't did this yet? You know what I'm saying, To the point where why y'all ain't you know. And then I just had to realize, man, pump your brakes, you know, because shit ain't going to go my way, Shit ain't going to go what's planned, but it's always another route. You know what I'm saying. If not, we're me pop up like mario he said pop up like mario through the green nothing.
Speaker 1:I think that's. I think that's dope as fuck. I know a lot of folk. They was like um, I know a lot of people when they I got home was just the dumb bids, but it was in detroit and I know like it's different for, like people that's doing the time and maybe like, for example, you, you did your bid, you did the straight way, the narrow way, the only right way. You went in, you didn't do no talking, you did it the right way for the people. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I feel like a lot of folks with you being in there. You see a lot of that all the time People in there doing a lot of talking, people in there waiting.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, and I think it's a lot of respect. And I tell people this all the time. People be getting mad at me because I ain't never did, no time. But I tell people, as a man, there's two things you can't do and you can't mess with another man and you can't snitch. And as long as you don't do them two things as a man, then you cool. So I feel like you got a lot to stand on when it comes to who you are, to your music.
Speaker 1:So I was talking, I was talking to school about this, uh, and I remember, um, I know he brought up to you know, remember the last time a long time ago. I'm gonna see, because you know you'll get married last time we've seen each other oh yeah, we just came off a mission, I was just yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was just on a mission. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I was just on a mission.
Speaker 2:It was a whole bunch going on A whole bunch going on. I had to get the fuck out of the dog. Fact fact.
Speaker 1:And you know I tell a lot of folk for me, for me, and just everything like you know that was the last time I physically saw. You know, I told Kel, you know what I mean. I'm ready to work. You know what I'm saying in any way shape possible. As a DJ for you, I'm definitely down to do whatever it takes. As a producer for you, I'm down to do whatever it takes. You know, I feel like you got the team behind you. I know School. You know he been always in the music.
Speaker 2:Oh, he day one, Since it was Hunter Squad. Oh shit, oh shit, that was he threw one back for real.
Speaker 1:That was way back. Yeah, for sure, my little thug. So you know, being from the H and actually having the most you have and everything you have, what would you bring on to people that's wanting to do and follow in your footsteps with music now, Like what's something that you would give them?
Speaker 2:Oh, don't give up. Keep at it, man. You know what I give them, rob Markman Jr. Don't give up, keep at it. You know what I'm saying. You got to iron, sharp and iron, so you know it's a work ethic. It's like with anything just because you don't see no progress, you just build your portfolio up and keep rapping, even if you know what I'm saying. Somebody tell you them bars ain't hard. Oh, it's cool. They should put a fire and get to writing that shit down again. Rap about them saying yo, shit ain't nothing. You know what I'm saying. Like I do my best music when I'm mad or when I'm going through some shit. Like I come up with the hardest shit ever when I'm going through something. Or I'm mad like that's when I come up with the hardest bars ever. So, yeah, just keep at it. Don't let up. Stay on them four, nick.
Speaker 1:You know you ain't coming for the ladies, of course, most definitely I got a few of them coming for the ladies.
Speaker 2:No, that's like I'm trying to build my fan base up with the women more than anything On me and I ain't just saying niggas, be hating. But a nigga, brush your shit off, be like I don't want to hear that shit. A female, she'll bump your shit everywhere, everywhere. A female to put you on music Like I? I'm like, damn that mind snapping on that motherfucker. He ticking and you hear it and you be like man. Now you done became you know what I'm saying a fan of his music and shit like that. So, yeah for sure, yeah, I got a few shit for the ladies, all type of shit, you know.
Speaker 1:I think that's the move because I know, for example, like Boog for example, I remember Boog first came out and I know a lot of people listen to bull music and like he's gravitating towards the women with this this type of sound and everybody bumping. He's still certified what he's doing, but it's like a different sound where everybody's bumping towards you and I feel like, um, what you got going on and the sound you got because you right, you definitely do sound.
Speaker 1:You don't sound the same on nothing you do yeah from the tracks I've heard and I feel like is that, is that because of like example I know it's authentic of what you're doing, but like production wise, do you feel like, hey, if it's this type of beat, it's this type of key? I might do something, this right here, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, it's the beat for sure. Like I heard a beat and I feel like it's already saying what I need to say, like the beat already got words to it. I just got to the versatility, because I hate rappers that sound the same on every song. Once you get to sound the same on every song, like he sound like that one song, I'm passing that shit on. I don't want to hear that shit.
Speaker 1:I know a lot of artists that be on that yeah yeah, yeah, and I ain't knocking that. What works for you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it works for you, but as far as what I like listening to you feel me that shit's slapping, you know what I'm saying so, shit like that.
Speaker 1:So my other question as well, because I know we're getting into you and your legacy and your music Where'd the ad-lib come from?
Speaker 2:Where'd the ad-lib come from, I knew I had to brand myself Like then, when I had came up with it, I'm like, damn, I got to Because that one Jeezy was doing hey and all that type of shit, like everybody had their own sounds. I'm like, damn, what the fuck? I was like oh yeah, and that motherfucker just came out flowing and with that I ran with it and since then it's been oh yeah.
Speaker 1:When Lucci was out. He shit, he was he was saying oh, yeah, he's trading me.
Speaker 1:Of course it didn't sound like me, but you know, he had his own, he had his own, he had his own, though, and we were still fucking with it though, and I, and I tell folks when I, when I hear it, and I, you know, just listen to music, listen to people, you know, ad libs and even niggas. That's in the industry. Nobody got that. So for me, so for me, it's like I, if I was your, trade, go ahead, trademark it, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, get that thing.
Speaker 1:Trademarked. You know what? I'm saying Mr Oye, go ahead, get it trademarked. Because to me, when you really hear it and the way you coming On to the beat and everything you're doing, it's really you. And for me, when I hear it, I know, oye, I'm listening to Black. I already know who I'm listening to. We already I know you went on and beat some cheese Fresh out the Listen.
Speaker 2:You going to give me a trade?
Speaker 1:I ain't going to give you a trade. I'm just saying yeah, for sure, though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, though, of course, shit.
Speaker 1:Man niggas been free for the last. Niggas been free their whole life. We get mad after a goddamn A weekend or two, but but 12 years. Shit mad after goddamn a weekend or two, but, but but 12 years. I then I said I know, hey, listen, came out free, ready to go crazy I thought about that.
Speaker 1:I was like man. I said you know, I gotta ask this, is this a podcast? We, we crack, have a good time, of course you know. So I said, man, I know, I said I know my black camera, I said I know he might have some water. Yeah, that was a good water, yeah.
Speaker 2:I know he might have some water.
Speaker 1:Got some good water yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying, man Rejuvenate, let me hit the water right now.
Speaker 1:I'm going to get a few sensations. So, you know, as we, you know, we got a part of the podcast where, every time, we always have usually a Left on Red with Bucko. It's part of the podcast where we're we go into a scenario where people um give us something that's going on in their life and we, we talk about it. But there's a topic I want to talk to you about, um, when it comes to and it's just something to parlay in, how do you feel, how do you feel right now in the music industry? What do you feel like from when you first? Well, for example, like back in the day, selling. What do you feel like from when you first of all, for example, like back in the day, selling the tapes, mixed tapes, actually working your grind. And now, with social media, what do you feel like is your next step with social media when it comes to your brand?
Speaker 2:My next step with social media would be with, I'd say, as far as marketing and branding myself, a lot. You know what I'm saying Because I ain't going to lie with social media. I hate social media, you feel what I'm saying I'm really not the.
Speaker 2:But then my team, they're like oh bro, you got to get on there and do this, you got to get on there and do that. You got to damn near post every day. I hate that shit. I hate that shit. I'm not that nigga to be posting every day, you feel me? So I got to do that. As far as you know what I'm saying, let the world know and the social media, let them folks know. You know what I'm saying. Come into my life, because people want to see that. They want to see your day-to-day like how you grew up, or what your social circle like, or the people around you and shit like that. So you know what I'm saying. Like mostly with that, just for us opening up. And you know what I'm saying letting people in my world and shit.
Speaker 1:No, I think. I think as well a lot of folks be hitting folks on social media because you know you not being, you know on social media as much yeah. Actually, like you know I think that's a different term because people be like man why I got a post where I'm at all times, why I got to show what I'm doing and I feel like, like you said, it's for people to know who you are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, most definitely who you hanging with what you like to get into you know I'm saying you could be. You could have a whole post where y'all on there shooting dice whole time. They're like oh yeah, oh shit, black light shooting dice. You know I'm saying it'd be different things. It's for your people to grow and get to know who you are as a person for sure so with you actually being, you know you still shooting, you still you still get down to shoot the dance.
Speaker 2:oh yeah, my wrist, I'm breaking on something. You still got like One cause off Dice Gang For sure.
Speaker 1:He said he's still shooting them things.
Speaker 2:Y'all see him on the story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's still getting the wrist work out.
Speaker 2:Y'all know he ain't missing a step. Make some side bits Bit on black.
Speaker 1:Bit on black and make sure to call those. Hey, make sure you got those. Yeah, make sure to call those. Hey, make sure you got those. Yeah, definitely, catch the dice with your hands Hands. So now is there anybody I know with you being out you know what I'm saying and people gravitating towards you. Anybody like you know that you was like damn, like when they hit you up and was like welcome home, that you was surprised. Or people like you know what I'm saying, that maybe it was like damn, I didn't think that was going to hit me. Anybody like that.
Speaker 2:Nah, it's go back to that saying Out of sight, out of mind. So yeah, I already knew. Like once they see me back in, you know what I'm saying In the flesh, and back again, yeah, I knew that was going to happen, like that, you know what I'm saying. I knew that was going to happen For sure. Facts, facts, facts.
Speaker 1:What do you, what do you want to Ac 90 days right now I know we got the mixtape popping, but accomplishments, Anything that's like fresh on your mind right now, the next 90 days, you're going to say I need this to be done and properly done. To put yourself because this is fourth quarter and I tell a lot of artists this all the time we in Q4. Q1 is when all these labels going to have this money.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I tell a lot is when you're really building for Q1. Because Q1 is when everybody want to go ahead and have that next pop, the next song. So you really came home the right time. So what, in the next 90 days, is going to get you ready for Q1, to be ready to be heard across the world and everybody know who you is?
Speaker 2:Out of my arm. I'm going to have to keep working Like the drive, Like I ain't letting up, like my foot on that motherfucker, I think the accelerator stuck on that motherfucker, you feel me. So I'm just going to keep smashing the gas. That's what I got to do. The same routine that I got. The same shit. We do all the time I'll be doing it. We dropping videos. I'm going to the studio. So that's what I want to accomplish. I want to accomplish doing dropping this tape, getting that tape finished and being ready for the next one. You feel what I'm saying? I'm trying to come like no limit After I drop this motherfucker, in the next 45 days. I got another tape. You feel what I'm saying? Like I'm back to back with this shit. So you know, like if somebody want to put their bread behind me, of course with a label, I want them to be able to see that.
Speaker 2:Damn my dude right there. You know what I'm saying. He taking this shit serious because that's what I do. Like I don't got no plan B. Like this shit got to work, this shit going to work, it ain't no way. You feel what I'm saying. So you know, like that's my accomplishments that I'm trying to reach, I just keep working. Stay at it, Grind basically Go ahead and make sure we grind.
Speaker 1:It's not possible. No, I get that completely. So going on and the work you're putting in and you home, Is there any party going on for you? Anybody through your good old party, a little get together? Is there anything that yeah, they were trying to.

I think the growth you're gonna have now it's gonna really turn back the clocks of what you want to do with your music and I think you're're going to get. When you said the accelerator, I think you brought up a good point. I feel like you're going to get time back with doing music and actually grow with what you want to do with your music and everything that you have going on. I think that's going to be the biggest thing. Go ahead and let the people know they can follow you on social media. Oh yeah man.
