What's the difference between the debut album and all the other projects you've been putting out?
Like, what's the difference?
I guess the label However, they do it like, I don't know the different I thought it was based on like the most songs, but.
I guess this is my first ALB man. I hope y'all appreciate it. You know what I'm saying. I put hard work into it, but did my best you think?
Yeah, I'm gonna say, do you feel like it's a restart? Because when you had your records out before, you was on fire, right every record in the club, I mean the joint with Future, the joint with everybody baby, and then you got locked up, So I don't think you could really enjoy how hot you were out there. So do you feel like you have to? It's almost like starting over. Yeah, I feel like I'm building like my momentum back up. I feel like people wanted to see if I could produce you know, the same type of music, good music, and I feel like I answered that.
You know what I'm saying.
You definitely shop on this album.
And I remember last time you were here you talked about perfecting your rap skills while you was locked up. Did this last bit help you shopping your skills even more?
Yeah? It just gave me.
It gave me more stuff to talk about, like more balance I thought about.
I had a whole book like what I thought.
I was going to do, you know what I'm saying, how I wanted to go by it. And when I got out, I'm like, man, scratch that, you know what I'm saying. I wanted to chill, I wanted to have I wanted to see my kids. And then by the time I was ready to go in the studio, I felt like, you know, I was ready.
Prior to this album, when you did have like the single Circulating, did you have a different project in mind, Like, yeah.
Yeah, I had.
I was gonna call it love Don't Live Here, And I was just making songs about you know, stuff like that, relationship stuff.
And what happened was with somebody and y'all broke up.
I ain't breaking up.
We just was, you know, up down, you know what I'm saying, so ithing like and you know that's time when we you know, got back, right.
She didn't want to be with you?
Yeah, yeah, no, for sure she did that.
It just was like, you know, you mad you in there, not even that, because I was gonna call it that before I went to jail, you know what I'm saying.
So, and when I went to jail.
Her being there for me like kind of scratched that.
I didn't about to drop a disc album.
No man, you want this out.
It was just like a different what was fame and like just the motion you were getting was that like stopping you from being able to give the love like your partner was looking for.
I mean, I say, like.
Just most more so lifestyleed like being out in different states, you know what I'm saying. Trying to take that into consideration, and it's just like it's a lot of stuff going on, you know what I'm saying.
So it's like you.
Actually gotta make that time. Like so somebody probably feels like you ain't making that time. You know what I'm saying. You like, well, I'm doing this. I might do be doing this, but I'm doing all this, you know what I'm saying. So I'm like, man, but I got right right having.
Having a girlfriend while doing the bid and make doing the bit tougher.
Right, Yeah?
Hell yeah, Cause you like what's going on, you know what I'm saying, You ain't there, so you like somebody might be there, man, somebody gotta be there, that's what you're thinking.
Like, but.
It's up to her like to keep reassuring you like, no, this ain't some girls. Let you know, Like look, man, as soon as you step foot in there, I'm gone damn.
Yeah, yeah that's how I be.
But you heard you heard the over support though when you were locked up, I mean people trying to get you out. They were putting the money.
What do you have?
Support because he.
Was in there only No, I was in a hole a lot.
So either way, when I was feeling a long, like I can't talk on the phone, I can't you know what I'm saying, I just going through a.
Lot fighting or no.
I was like certain jails are putting me in the hole, like just because who I am. Like they say it's a security rich to the compound, like everybody walking up on pictures, they feel like to see pictures like it's the club, yeah, something like that. But they like, I ain't gonna say pictures. I just want to kick it. You know what I'm saying. I ain't gonna say pictures. I just want to kick it in. And they'd be paying attention, like to the CEO's getting too close and they be like, we can't hear you out. You're worried about your girl, your girls should have been worried about you knocking off the female CEOs. That sounds like I want too much worried about because you know, you know you be like, you know, I ain't there forever, you know what I'm saying. So I'm worried about nobody. I was like, you know, I hope you stay on the right track. That's for everybody, though, Like even with your friend, you like y'all stay focused after you know what I'm saying.
Take care of the kids. You know what I'm saying.
You're doing what you can. You still gotta take care. That's the most important thing. You still gotta take care of everybody from there your mama, you know what I'm saying.
So, how did your mom feel when she heard that my mama record off the for us?
Never did Mom?
I mean she you know, she just rocking with everything. You know what I'm saying.
She really ain't gonna too much focus on one song. She listening to a She gonna send me a text like you know what I'm saying.
This new album is hard. You know what I'm saying. I'm proud of you. Stuff like that.
Is that run the intro?
No, that's my principal.
Principal, Yeah, what was the call that you gave your principal that made her come back with that?
So my principal, she like she do like speaking, like motivational speaking. So when I was young, I had went to prison, like fifteen, I had a warrant, you know, and she the only person that gave me to turn myself in.
I'm like, I ain't going there.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm young, you know what I'm saying, Like, hell no, I ain't going there. She called, she came to my house, like I told my mama, like I got a friend in the police office.
You know what I'm saying.
He could turn her stuff into They gonna make sure they don't touch him, like he gonna go straight to the get him a bond, and y'all can get me back out. So then that happened. I got back and they're going to prison. And while I was in prison, my first time, she went to prison.
To principal, Yeah, is crazy.
To prison?
I want to say, was it money line something like some of the numbers between them lines. But she ended up going to prison, federal prison, and she you know, she when she got out, she was writing me, you know what I'm saying, just telling me like, I'm proud of because when I got out, I started rapping, you know what I'm saying, and I took off like kind of quick. You put money on her books. I was in jail, tell me, yeah, I was in jail. So we probably got out about the same time. Anyway, we was connecting social media. She I'm proud of, you know, stuff like that.
And then I end.
Up going back to prison and she's just writing me eight week eight two weeks telling me I did, sending me stuff about Shack, how you take care of his finally on her you know, stuff like that, sending me books, sending me songs. She thinks I should redoing just like no, I think you should let me talk on your as.
Oh, so this is the last time you went to prison in twenty twenty two. Yeah, you didn't want to turn yourself in there neither.
I don't blame it, but not wanting to go to prison.
But I mean, damn, though I don't know what I had.
I mean, I ain't gonna lie bro coming from like just coming from the hood, Like, bro, turn yourself into jail gonna be the hard gotta be the hardest thing walking into somebody jail knowing it's gonna be a minute, Like and I.
Don't feel like nobody likes follow that. You know what I'm saying.
I should have did it because it was six months, but you know it was hard though you had your career six months, but it would have been six months if you turned upon it probably would have been ninety days ideally, like because we're halfway house like home min.
But you know, I didn't know about the federal girlment.
All I know about the state in the state in Michigan, it's day for day.
So I'm like, it's like God, so.
You like, I'm on fire right now. I'm getting all this money right now. You know what I'm saying, Bro, I probably had like two million dollars in shows like just lined up.
So I'm like, you know what I'm saying, this one that catch me if you can't, damn.
You still regretted, Yeah, Like.
I just regretted the whole situation, Like yeah, when they tell me, you know I had I had a sweet situation. First, my approbation went, she was leaving me pretty much do my thing. She was leaving me pretty much travel. I really you know sometime I like they be on my bab like I really fucked up.
Like you know, I messed up like this.
Even in j I two people, my judge, he was so hard and I used to be like he really he really let me go.
You know what I'm saying, I really like just messed it up.
But I mean that's that's part of growth though, you know what I'm saying.
Sure you're older now, so you understand, like, you know what, I couldn't handled that a different.
Way, for sure, I wish I would have.
There's a line on your eye.
I can't remember who he was rapping about, but you was like, man, I bet you he wished he took that ten.
Yeah, skip, he got offered ten years and ended up betting thirty Jesus yeah.
And it just like you know, even with him, he like.
He felt like if I would have took that years, I probably would still end up doing thirty because I want to learn nothing, you know what I'm saying. So he like this time, being in here for this amount of time made me like curve how I want to live, Like made me see what I needed to do, what I was doing wrong, see what you need, you need to do what you do.
You know what I'm saying As far as everybody who.
Was he to you? My brother Okay, yeah, how long you're gonna do?
He been in the earth for fourteen damn man.
Yeah, it just been like we all went to jail two thous eleven. Like we all went to jail. And I feel like once I changed, like all right, luck everybody started like because a few people had life and they didn't came home like from life. Like you know what I'm saying that that's probably the hardest thing you're gonna do. That's why the hardest thing you're gonna do, Like, and I feel like all it take is like one person just to switch it up absolutely everybody.
Look no, for sure, for sure it's looking good right now.
Now when you got home, were you surprised at how Detroit is now? Because I think when you got locked up Detroit, that seemed like everybody was against everybody. But now when when I go to Detroit, I'm seeing those seeing people, everybody partying together. It seems like it's more welcoming the artists. And they gotta taste that money community, they gotta taste that money.
Like they don't funk the money up.
Yeah, Like I always used to tell people like I probably would be you know few and with somebody who probably ain't one doing as much, so they really ain't got nothing to lose, you know what I'm saying. Once they got tasted that money, they like for what everybody like what we're doing, like, you know, let's get this money. Like everybody feel like they're a song away, everybody getting followers up, everybody and their views up.
And you know what I'm saying.
I was telling.
Somebody like somebody gotta like be the next person like to go crazy, like don't just let it be close. Don't just you know what I'm saying, don't just let the last thing be like, oh they were so close, like you gonna go crazy, you know what I'm saying.
I feel like it's a few of y'all now for sure, you baby baby face, Like it's a bunch of y'all that seemed.
Like sure getting money to.
Why didn't you make a fresh from the fans the first song on that album?
Man, you think that you think that should have been Somebody told me spend that back should have been the first time. But I ain't put it on there what I wanted to be. I want to Need You to be the first song. Yeah, it's a song on their card.
That was that a tough record to right, yeah, because it was like by my people.
It was like those type of songs like you gotta catch that cadence to write like how It Come On? That was like the hardest part to record, Like how It Come On? It's a line where I had to say it just a certain way where I ain't like it like something in there saying it like you know what I'm saying. Then when I recorded, I gotta double it, like so I'm trying to make it man, I just I just said I had worked hard on that, so something like last minute, I'm like, I tell God in race, like I feel like this should be the intro.
You know what I'm saying. They like we can't change nothing.
Yeah, need you to. It's too sentimental to be the first song. I feel like that's good.
But I like to start my projects like that, like you know what I'm saying, Like even Freedom Boys, I started like or like with a Jill call, like you know what I'm saying like this, but the intro it had to grow on me. You know what I'm saying. I'm seeing people reactions to it. They like they're like no, we like.
We like what what need you?
Is?
That gonna be a tough record to perform, like when you're on stage.
You know, Uh, I don't know. I don't.
I ain't never thought about that, Like you might cry dougout that. I mean, that'll be a good a good moment though if it is. You know what I'm saying, everybody felt like that towards somebody. You know what I'm saying, somebody adn't lost a friend, so you know, hopefully we can catch that, me and the fans.
And I read somewhere too, you know, talking about the jail again that you were when you were locked up, you didn't like receiving fan bail?
Should it bothered you?
Well, they won't let me get it that much.
They'll keep it from me. So, like I said, a lot of time I was isolated. So when I do get it, I just read it like see what something talking about? And I asked a lot of letters. You know, people probably give my letters because they weren't sending them out. But I wrote back a lot of people like just telling them, like how I was feeling.
They're like you coming.
Close to her, you know, and I appreciated it. I tried to answer some many as I could some people. It's like I'm coming to your you know what I'm saying. You know, you try to people take their time out, like even your friends ain't gonna do that as much. And that was another thing you did that was pretty big. When you got home. You did that huge concert in the city and brought the city out, people working. People were grateful and thankful for that. How was that? How was that reaction?
Man?
That was crazy?
It was crazy just seeing it come go, cause you never know what you can do until you do it. Won't nobody believe you can do it until it's done, Like you know what I'm saying, So all the way up until the week they like, you know what I'm saying, he ain't finna. And it wasn't really about selling it out. It was just about putting on the show. Like everybody think my motive was like I want to just see if I'm instead of it out all, I'm like, no, it won't ever about selling it out. It was just about putting on this show, Like see what type of show we could put on.
You know what I'm saying.
You brought so many people to the city, so many people out that day. Were you surprised so many people showed up?
Uh? Yeah, yeah, I was fan.
I mean, but why you clearly got fans, you got getting all this mail in jail, you got mad support from people on the outside.
Why would you be surprised.
Because the trade a tough city, man.
New York is tough city too, like out of reformed here before me and baby like they down there, like you know what I'm saying, they ain't gonna be going crazy, like you just gotta take it for what it is.
Detroit, they're a little better.
Than New York on that, Like first they are, you know what I'm saying, They get some type of effort.
New York they're just too fresh.
So and there I'm like, if they comings, they gonna go crazy, you know what I'm saying. And when I'm picking the artists, we like, who's gonna get them to go crazy? And I'm picking this urger I'm picking. But I had some good, good, good artists. I know, Jeezy, I know me, you know what I'm saying, bullsy like and everybody, I mean everybody. Bro that came was like, Bro, it's the best concert we ever. They're like, y'all want to let us sit down? Like soon we thought we were finna sit down, all right, you suld sit down somebody, you know what I'm saying, We can chill on it. Another person came out with Higgs, like and you know what I'm saying. Now I'm trying to do it again, and it's like, how do you compep with that?
Or do you even try to compete with that?
I mean, you could have a Doug trustable at this point in Detroit, the city something every year, Doug day something.
But do you think they're gonna get tired now if you keep bringing new artists?
You know?
So how do I do it? Do I bring new artists a year?
I would think? So?
Yeah, bring you ortists.
I mean the same thing what gott he does every year when he does did that show when everybody comes on out meet did it a couple of times in Philly?
Yeah, Drake got the OO, Drake got the Ovio Fest. And then it gives you an opportunity to introduce new Detroit artists every year.
Yeah that one, I'm uh see this year I might try to focus on like the newer artists, you know what I'm saying, the newer artists of the world. That was about like just I put.
My all in that one.
You know what I'm saying. This year, I feel like I know what they won't like. I feel I could do it.
Now.
I can say that you had Gez and you've always spoke about admiring Jeezy'll work together. He on the new album, The Being that record. When you look at how he evolved as a man, Yeah, if that inspire you, do you look at that and be like, oh okay, I see what Yeah, like niggas can go.
Man, Yeah, watching jez bro you know, Jeez my favorite artist. So it's like, you know, I just keep task. I don't trying to you know what I'm saying. I try to be on it too much. I just be keeping tasks and I just be you know, I've seen dropping books, I've seen you know, even having found you know what I'm saying, trying new stuff. So you know, I just admired it from afarm man.
You know what I'm saying.
That's my guy. Hit him up a chance, I get let him know. You know what I'm saying what I got going on? He telling me what he got going on, or even got him because we see the transition from God as well.
Yeah, man, these boys, these boys growing up. Man, everybody, Man, I'm trying to get there one day. Man, get that with them.
Boy, how did you feel when gott he uh, you know, publicly offered two million dollars than any lawyer who could help you get out of prison?
I was like, you ain't nobody setting this sh I'm like, man, God, I'm going there looking at him, counselors crazy.
I heard what he said. You know what I'm saying.
I was, Man, I wanted to get out so bad.
Brother, But you know, I mean just the fact he did that though, Just the.
Fact he did that like put me at ease. So it's almost over, man, you know what I'm saying. Let it's always good in there for people who got people in there.
It's always good.
Like to show that type of stuffort, even if it's just once a month.
You just let him know, like, bro, we miss you out her.
That's why I made we need you like fresh from the fear, Like you gotta let these people know.
These some of these people.
Feel like life is over bro, like they ain't never getting out done. Nobody love them, you know what I'm saying. So you gotta just reassure these people, like, look, bro, life ain't the same without you, know what I'm saying, Stay focused, coming to get you whatever it takes. And that's just what I be trying to That's why I feel like he did for me. That's and that's what I be trying to do.
So you felt forgotten for a little moment.
I want to say forgotten, but you know you you can get caught up in that because it rubbed off. Even though I probably got the most support, somebody else probably don't got no support. So that had you thinking, like, you're right man, you know what I'm saying. I remember I was in there complaining about having ninety more age and my bunkie ain't even ain't never getting.
Out you feed me. I'm like, why the hell they put me here? To him? What I'm like, when you getting out?
Because I'm in there, like, man, I got ninety it's killing me, bro, I need to go now.
I'm like, when are you getting out?
Bro?
He ain bro got life? I'm like, what you know what I'm saying? Then you get to think like that was the strings man, like walat one.
Man, you feel me.
That's all it takes, bro, All it takes you getting there with the wrong person.
How important is male?
Very the most important thing, probably more important than phone calls. Damn mal cause it's like, you know, somebody put that effort into their time out. You know what I'm saying, you smiling the whole letter.
Who wrote you that you were surprised that they actually took the time out to write you.
Uh, my man, it's Gotti, my homeboy. He wrote me on a letter and said, like he had his name on her said young and turn entertainment.
You know what I'm saying. He wrote me.
It surprised you.
Cause, like I said, these people young in the streets. Like you know what I'm saying, No for sure, like because it's hard for me to write like you.
I ain't damn herd.
I don't know if I'm right, bro, Like unless it's you know, you got the text and that now so you can write off your phone. But to see him actually put a letter in then everybody else saying like you know, we need you. That's the only thing I wrote, you know, I said that in the song, so they just you know what I'm saying, that was cool.
They only wrote me a couple of times, but that was all.
That was it.
That was all I needed.
You know what I'm saying, All you need is one letter from somebody.
Man.
You got somebody like that just right on one side on.
The record of Wrong right, you said you don't even smoke anymore that cause of probation or you just want to get to keep your Haaird clicked.
I don't do no lean or I don't do nothing like cause of provation.
But anyway, I don't know if I be doing it anything. Yeah, no, not nothing like I ain't even thought about it.
On the intro the principal, I was just gonna say why the title Forever Us Never Then?
I mean, you know what I'm saying, like like y'all saying, like Detroit big right now?
You know you're trying to.
Do everything and I feel like I'm a I want to say, big enough person, but uh aware enough person like that, I could say it like Forever Us Never Then seen we did on the concert. You know what I'm saying, y'all seen everybody can't hear the rock.
Or it's like let's do it. US is Detroit, Yeah, that's Detroit.
This is my homeboy, my family, US is just whoever you wanted to be like forever us never then it might not even beat them, like you know what I'm saying.
That's how I wanted to put it on.
The intro you talk about, well, the principal talks about probation being a trap. And then you know, we also saw you on social media being vocal about the conditions that were going on in prison. So what's making you want to speak out about that that?
Now, boy, it was a hard time.
They had me in there and no mic awave you gotta eat warm your food up in the shower like.
Imagine that. Imagine having to use the water and the shower like. And even when I was complaining, like they comeing in there, tearing my.
Room up, getting mad, I'm like, how y'all mad at the conditions y'all got?
I was living in We already in jail. But you know what I'm saying, how would you expect jail to be? You know, it's jail, Like, don't what they tell you, like, don't come here.
You know what I'm saying, It ain't no, it ain't gonna be a sweet it ain't gonna be a hotel. So I'm like, you know, I took that consideration, like, you're right, I should still humans though, Yeah, they don't care.
Are you using any of the god these resources like the Reform Alliance and all of that though may be improving you the conditions of prisons in Michigan.
Well, my principle, she like being on that. She going back into prisons and stuff like this.
Right now we leaning on her man leaning on wallow Man. You know, yeah, they got it going on. Man, they gotta change it.
You said something on that record with EStG Man. What's the record called since when it's win? You said, you got a chick who gives your head with two missing teeth.
I gotta like eat, like both her teeth missing, Yeah, I said, like her like both her teeth missing.

No, I was just like, you know, you know, when you're growing up, you hear the old people like man, crackhead, don't.
Nobody get a head like girl no teeth? Like you know what I'm saying. So I felt like that was a little sleep.
I mean, you know, the life, man, it's something to that.
It's it's definitely something to that.
All right.
No, so the record with me, because I don't know what's going on, it's going to go crazy. I definitely like the features that you got on it. Rylo, I liked the record with me. Talk to me about that in any conversations that you got shared and tell them the truth what you said.

And I feel like.
I feel like music always circle back, like you know what I'm saying, So I feel like going back. That was a good one. I ain't hurt nobody. I heard somebody use the title, but I ain't heard nobody actually.
Use that, you know what I'm saying. I feel like the old people appreciate it. The old people, Yeah, like the older you.

Do you hate the Internet?
Man?
I don't want to say I hate it. I just probably hate how I was used, Like I don't know how to use it. You know what I'm saying.
I might get on there in a wild, but I ain't been doing it, like I just talked shit now, you know.
But it's like it's tricky, man, Like internet changed the well life.
Because it seemed like every every so often they come at you about something like the last thing I.
Saw was I don't know what they beef with me.
You was not playing with your daughter and they started saying you and your daughter was the.
Same, Like yeah, like, I don't really get too mad at that type of stuff. I don't get mad at jokes at all. I just get mad at like that.
Just the fire.
Like you know what I'm saying, A joke is the joke.
I can take a joke, any joke really, But the crazy stuff I be like, you know what I'm saying, don't really, But it's the Internet, so you you're always gonna be opening that type of stuff.
Being like a celebrity.
You know, they always gonna come at you with this, They always gonna come at you with that. So you gotta think these people ain't got nothing else to do, man, nothing else to do. Like you said that the beats and hip hop have declined. Think you think producers are are not making beats so good caliber anymore?
Yeah, I feel like they ain't trying. Like I remember, we used to go to.
The studio, used to take us like two three two three beats. We picking a song and it's almost probably gonna be a hit, Like you know what I'm saying. Now, we in there listening for hours, two hours, just going through them, and it's just like, man, I feel like I did good though my tape, Like I feel like I always do, but it took me longer than they usually take me, you know what I'm saying. So you know, hopefully it get better. I've been hearing like music, music and all like just been declining the music says, the more people listening, Like I just been hearing like people just I don't know what it is.
People putting on trash, not putting enough effort into it. Yeah yeah, you know you see who doing or not?
The girls shifting over, like girls putting out the heat like a it's then the like ay thing they put out a heat almost like.
You know what I'm certain girls like it's like we competing with them.
I think because they seem to be having more fun.
Yeah you know what I mean, Like like the dudes are still being too tough a little it.
When I was talking to somebody, I'm like, man, what they should do is how to dudes do? What you mean like sexy you need to go make a mixed tabe with Glorilla?
Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, like they need to now. I was telling guy, like they need to do it while they can do it, Like you know what I'm saying, Like how Drake was how did deal with Future? They get the record Future that he did one with twenty one, you know what I'm saying, Like they I don't know if they think like that, but that's why I was like, that's how you you really put your foot.
On this ship.
Why you didn't use Glorilla instead of sexy Rade, Like it's just a matter of like.
No, we got we got glow, we got on a few songs.
It just was like she ain't.
Going no, I ain't got her on my I ain't got on that, but me and her got a few songs, you know what I'm saying.
And you know it's just a matter of balance.
Like.
I think doing her thing.
I think when it comes to your point about production, sometimes production carries the beat for certain artists, you know, sometimes the artist carry Somebody told me that.
About Future, like, uh, this guy, this producer. I'm like, I'm like, man, I don't really been liking to beat. We was talking about this. I'm telling how he like Bro like PLO can make any song like all Bro. Like you know what I'm saying. He was saying like that, I'm like, I got what he was saying, right, Maybe I should start rapping on anything I see. God, he's not on the album. God didn't want to. God don't want to rap no more because got he's done done.
No I want that.
I feel like God he always gonna be you know with me, like he will never you know what I'm saying.
It's just like it just was. I have so many other songs features.
Bro, it was hard noar and this song, this stuff down because I don't be liking to put that many songs out because I be like, Bro, they gonna skip over these songs. I'm gonna be mad, like you know what I'm saying. But now that I put it out like that, I'm kind of glad because I'm seeing people like man, no skips, they like front the back, they like every song, you know what I'm saying. They like, Look, these are our favorites. But Bro, we listen to the whole thing. Bro, we like the whole tape, and that be keeping other people probably be having bigger songs than me on they tape. But God he was telling me like, by you putting out good music, your tape, be up, your tape, be on the church a lot longer, Like you know what I'm saying.
So I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna keep that. Man. I just want to make good music instead of big songs.
Did you see uh? I gotta ask because you from Detroit? Did you see Skiller Baby say that? Most people in Detroit wouldn't say Eminem is the best rapper.
I ain't see him say that, but that's probably you know what I'm saying. How they feel?
Why just because it's different generation or or not relatable? Yeah?
Probably both.
Some people ain't like the new kids don't even know about him and them, Like, you know what I'm saying, How would they? You would have to like really be a music person, like to go back?
I know. So that's always my card.
When somebody get to bringing up somebody from somewhere else, I'm like, yeah, we got him them.
You feel me.
I feel like he did.
He did go, but he also didn't make you know, he didn't make street music. Yeah, probably he.
Made deep music.
I feel like listening to that type of stuff is the reason I can make songs like need You and Fresh in the Fits because I always was them type of songs like.
I go listen to Toy Soldiers or staying like You.
It was my favorite songs. So when it's my turn to make real song.
Like I already you know, I already damn there know how to challenge it, like because I know it.
I'm looking for I'm looking for a stand type of vibe or I'm looking for a toy, you.
Know what I'm saying. And people probably ain't. I mean, you know, it's a new generation of kids.
They probably don't even I ain't even probably listening to eminem nothing, you know.
Skiller Baby also said something else and you said something earlier that made me think about it about the Detroit rapper, like becoming that next next person. And he said he don't feel like the trait rappers are as consistent as they should be.
You feel that way, Yeah, but bro, I don't know if people know I heard it is to get a banger, like you know what I'm saying, it's it ain't that easy. Like these people trying, I feel like they're dropping the music. It just ain't connecting. It just ain't a big song. They can't help it. We can't help it. Like all you you just gotta do your best, man, you know what I'm saying, Keep trying, man.
Like if you going there with the mentality, I'm trying to make a banger. How often do you act and we come out with one?
Honestly, Like, I go on there like I'm trying to make a good start. Well, I go in there like I'm trying to make a banger for the studio.
You know what I'm saying. Say, if we all in the studio.
I'm trying to make a banger for y'all. You know what I'm saying, And hopefully you know what I'm saying, it connected with the world when you did.
We paid, and maybe that was the mindset, like let's just turn up in the studio.
Hell no, I ain't even think. But sure I ain't think none of them No.
Wow, I hell I made we pay, Like I was telling somebody, we felt like when I maybe paid, I was kind of uncomfortable rapping on that type of beat because it's so slow.
It just won my bound.
I didn't see I didn't see it with with that one either, because it's so slow. When that first kick hit, it's crazy.
Yeah, I want my bounds.
So me and baby in there, we just freestyling, really, you know what I'm saying. So as I'm freestyling, as he's freestyle, just going back and I'm like, before I go broke like Jock, you know what I'm saying.
I say that, and he like, you gotta put that on there.
And I.
Was just saying it like I was just trying to say some Atlanta stuff. So befo, I go broke like Jock that dog like and he like put that on there. And I had left that song alone, like we had rapped all through the song.
He came back to it like, look, let's put a hook on her.
So he must have like like this, you know, he must have felt like he was like, let's put a hook on there.
We go back in, and that's why I came in like still a bit.
If you listen to it, you can hear me like still a bed in my last shoon dice in the hood. That's the whole new added parton his verse really came after that, you know what I'm saying. It was straight me his verse. So he like asked some more, then we're gonna be the hook. And when we got to the hook, I'm like, yah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we paid. I'm like, hell no, Like you know what I'm saying, I'm like you like that. I ain't like that. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I feel like it was just so cheesy. You know what I'm saying. Man, you know that's like you just never know.
Bro ran in the job after that. No, No, I don't know what Jack Drop might try. Ship been talking over.
There that man. I'm like, Bro, I ain't got no problem.
Bro, God damn yeah.
You and Baby he tells you down your bed your whole bid for sure. Yeah.
But even then, you know, like I said, jail the dark place. So you don't want to keep calling people living life. You You know what I'm saying. You might shake in and want to say three weeks. I'll just take it in so he won't get out a time, you know what I'm saying.
So, so you know what I'm saying.
As soon as you got out, that's what I thought. I saw him give you some money or something.
Yes, you got me something got it you straight?
