Speaker 3 (05:37):
We appreciate you pulling up on us, man.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Where's I DK from.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I'm from the d m v PG County, Maryland.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Parents know my.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Mom from shit all, my dad from Ghana. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I was born in England. I came here when
I was two years old. Oh wow, I got three passports.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So you're kind of like a twenty one savage.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Sin in a sense. I guess that's what black people say. Yeah, uh,
how long have you been doing music?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
In?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Went twenty twelve when I got out of uh prison,
That's when I started really taking trying to do music seriously.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Oh why were you in prison?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Robberie was the the case that I had.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
But yeah, uh, what made you? You know, say, you
know what? H I'm done with that?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
He went to prison?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Let's go music?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Was this?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I don't weall? No? That was like my fourth time though.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So wait, it was the fourth time going to prison,
fourth prison in jail, So I.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Was state prison I came from.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I was in jail three hundred jail three times, and
then from jail the last time I went up the
road to y'all c I think y'all call it down
the road here, but up the road, yeah, up the
road to state President and I started doing music. What
was the point where you say, you know what, at
the first time, it's just that prison reform like all that,
like you know, people fighting for all that stuff. Is
(06:55):
it's real because I only got in trouble once, but
I had violations for not paying home detention, not coming
home on time, like.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Little stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So it's like it's like it's like a system exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's the system that Meek Mills talks about to where
they make it to where you're going to make a
small mistake to go back.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Exactly, That's exactly what it was. So I didn't really
get in trouble again. It just was more so like
the first time, I learned my lesson. But it's just
the way the system is set up. It's hard to
like stay out.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
So but it's been a while since. So what changed
that you said, you know what.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I wasn't on probation, no more parole.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Nah, But nah, to be fair, I haven't gotten in
any issues and nothing like that since you know, even if.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I was on probation and parole, so I parolled out.
I was supposed to stay there the last time for
a year. I got out in seven months.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Because of parole because mainly because I was already like
in school doing all like stuff like that before I
went back to prison. So they're all right, you could
function in the society.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So is that what parole means?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like that they look at you as like somebody who
can be functional in society when you yeah, out of.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Probation is different. Probation is way more mild. Probation is like,
don't smoke weed, you know, get pitted tests if you
even have that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It's way more lenient.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Parole is like, if you get in trouble, you're going
straight back to prison.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So that's like the three the three strike rule.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Nah, that's a whole nother thing. I think that's more
like la too oh god like, but three strikes is like,
you get in trouble, get out, Get in trouble, get out.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So I've seen I've seen that your video was posted
and you made a music video about you, you.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Know, having some altercation with the law. Was that real?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Nahn? That was real situations?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Though?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I thought that was that video looks real, man.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I was like, damn they was whooping your ass the police.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
The entire time when you was in prison. Was your
music popping off at any time?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Nah, I didn't even start doing music.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I started because I used to memorize the beats on
the radio, and so you got like the first when
I went in, there was like no Instagram, none of that.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
When I got out, it was Instagram and.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Chief Keith, you know what I'm saying, so real like
so like I was listening to the beats on the
on the radio sign and and I wo memorize him
and just start rapping. But I used to help people
get their GD so I was a tutor in prison
and I used to be and yeah, Hanna Barber, yeah anything.
(09:40):
Talked to some of the people that they still locked up.
Dan my man, my man, he was there eight years
before I got there, and this is eleven years now.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
He's still in. He still got five more years.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
So how were you able to adjust when you got out?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I mean I wasn't in that long, so you know,
but like.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
You said, you know, when you went in, there was
no Instagram. You know, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Got out, it's like a whole new world.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
People making money, getting rich off some medio.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I just well, it's funny as when Instagram first started.
So it's twenty twelve, so I think it started twenty
eleven or something like that. But basically, when I got out,
everyone kept telling me on the phone like, yeah, you
gotta get Instagram, like what is it like you just
post pictures?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
And I'm like, sound that shit sound dumb? Like I
don't know why.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So when I got I remember my first post I
posted it, and it's so funny because I look at
my Instagram now and I'm like, wow, I remember I
got forty likes and it's like, damn, nigga, you got
forty likes?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Is that picture still up?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I can find it, but it ain't on this algorithm.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I ain't nobody getting forty like so less stuff.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
So get you get out and now we're doing music.
What's your first song that you go to? You say, okay,
do you have money? Are you going to the studio?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Ah? My man shutout though.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Man he had studio in his basement, and I told
him before I got out, like, look, man, when I
get out, man, I'm really trying to make something of myself. Man,
I ain't got no money to do this. But like
did he believe out for me. Yeah, he believed in me,
and we just worked on that. I was trying to
go back to school and balance that out, but I
just stopped paying attention to school. It went from not
(11:19):
coming to class but being in the like.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
In school, to not coming to school.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Who were you at?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I was at PG Community College, and then from not
going to school at all to not registering for a semester.
And then I just was like, I guess this is
what I'm gonna do. So, you know, I had to
really hustle me all my folks to figure out how
to get the money to get the music stuff rolling.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
And that took a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You know, that took like because I really my last
job was twenty fifteen. I started rapping twenty twelve, and
then I would say my first million dollars was twenty ninety.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
How did that? How did that feel?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
It was crazy?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I sent the screenshot about you almost tell your own
boys you got a million sitting in the tell them
because I got the friends where I could do that. Okay,
give me give us the play, Like what happened to
get you to that point?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Did you get that million?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You get that million?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
My boy?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I mean before I even made it to that point though,
I probably spent five hundred thousand of my own money
trying to get this moving on your own a lot
of different ways, a lot of different ways.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
One of the main ways.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Though, it was just like oh uh, doing like independent
deals one off deals and.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Getting like a couple of hundred thousand all and.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Stuff like that went off, like as far as music goes.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
On one album deal with like independent also you just
building it up.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
It's kind of like that, yeah, like writing or your
own music or my music.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, but I just I think like one thing I
was able to do, and even to this day, it's
like showing a lot of like really big artists.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
They look up to what I do and like respect
what I do.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So I had, like I remember I had a song
with Billie Eilish and all these things.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It wasn't it. It ever came out, but like I had
those kind.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Of stugs of the song.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I still got you better put that ship out. I
got the relationships. So like a lot of the stuff,
like people was willing to like take risks on me,
which it was never really a risk because they all
made their money back, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
So what was the song that put you in these
people's ears?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I don't have one till the day.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
There's a bunch of songs and a bunch of to
basically one hundred shows, like I've done like four hundred shows.
But when I just did Coachella, were I went over
the track list once, I rehearsed twice and the third
time doing that set was at Coachella on stage.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Wow, I'm just trying to understand the buzz, Like what
got you to these people's attention?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
A whole body of work?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, it really was like bodies of work?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Okay, because you build an underground presence.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What's a fan favorite?
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Because like you said, you built an underground presence and
you know they put you here.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
What is what's favorite? What's funny you say that, right?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
If I was a main more mainstream artist, I would
have like I would be like Drake in the sense
of my fans. I got so much music that they
like fan favorites. It's hard to even do a whole
hour set now because I don't have enough space to
put all of the songs in. So in my fan
base and in that world that I'm in, there's a
(14:46):
lot of them.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
And is this coming from SoundCloud or all that?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Were you?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Where are they usually finding you at.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music? I mean whatever, It's hard to say,
like I got a really unique situation and story. Yes,
it's just continuously like chipping away little by little and
never giving up. That's what.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
How did you realize that you had that you were
starting to gain fans and you start to feel like, Okay,
this feels, you know, a little bit different now.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I think, to be honest, it was a big turning
point was I got it randomly got a call from
Kanye and he was just.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Like, yo, I heard about your album. Album wasn't out yet.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
He's like I would love to hear.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, he was like at some point today cannot connect
with you. And I'm like bet And I went to
his house and he was eating lemon cake.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So you get a random call from Kanye and he's
like he heard you first of all, I know.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He was like, how know you heard my album here?
I know how you heard it eighty A Keys. Well,
he didn't hear the album. He heard about it. EIGHTIEA
Keys is like he heard it one time and it
was telling everybody sending pictures a house all this stuff.
So yeah, it was like more so that and then
and then yeah, you got a hold of it. And
(16:06):
then the next day Tyler the creator came to my
house to come listen to it too. It was like
the album before it came out was kind of making
its ways around, and then people kind of like heard
it when it came out. So it's like it's more
like I'm more like critical acclaim, Like people just know,
like the stuff I do is of a certain quality
(16:27):
and caliber.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
So I work for.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Warner Records and very rarely do I see the artists
on a call. Yeah, he talked about this because I
was like, yo, wet, I got his call and the
artist is on the call.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
We always talk about the artists, but we're.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
On the call and he's on the call, Like this
is this is strange, But I funk with that. I'm
over here like, yo, you want to know what we're
talking about, what we're doing?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
What where are we finna go?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You know?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I thought that was dope. I wanted to give your
flowers and I appreciate it very player. Why did you
want to be on that?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
To be honest with you. I thought that was normal.
I never like my whole career, I always been like that.
So to me, it's like I know my vision, I
know how to articulate it, and I know also, I mean,
I know you see in a group chat. I know
how to hold people accountable too.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
But one thing I will say, though, you'll never see
me go on social media and talk about my label
because that's a lot of people and not everybody falls
under the category of whoever might have sucked your shit up,
So I never look at it like that. But it's
family business, so it's staying there. When it's like when
you it rarely happens. But when I when it ain't,
you know what I mean, you're gonna hear it from me.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I thought that was dope, So idicate the businessman.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I wanted this shit so bad that I wasn't about
to wait for no manager or somebody to come along.
When I first started, I kind of sucked, so it
was like there wasn't no manager that was going to
come and do that for me. So I remember I
got my first video to a million or a song
on SoundCloud to a million of plays listens, and that
(18:06):
was a confidence and I just kept going that was.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
The breaker SoundCloud.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, And that makes sense now okay SoundCloud.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Okay, So if it's like, if we're breaking it down
like that, then SoundCloud is it breaks?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
A lot of artists don't like z or a lot
of the.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I feel like, like low Ki, it'd be breaking, like
because I used to always wondering, like when artists like
Uzzi and Playboy Cardi got big. I'm like, why is
just dropping a song on SoundCloud and you were like.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Breaking?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Like you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But you talked about earlier that you have a song
with billi OLiS. How did that come about?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Same ship?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Like, people just be reaching out to me man, like
all that fire. Wow, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's you.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You live a great life, man, have a life that
I feel like a lot of big artists wish that
these people were reaching out to them.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Can we talk about these shoes though, because that's your
camera right there. Uh?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Air Max made these for you? Correct?
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Is this a collaboration? Is the you designed these air Maxes?
Where can people buy them? Can people these are friends
and family? I don't have the they not coming out.
I'm working on something that will probably be out. That's
the best way to explain that. How did you get
a air Max? How did you get to be able
(19:29):
to create I d K? Is this whole interview.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
We don't know how he got how he got the
whole I guess, so yeah, like, what how did you
get how'd you come up with your name?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
My name in prison? You know, I don't know now.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
In prison, I just was thinking about what I wanted
to name myself, and I wanted to name myself something
that will prompt people to ask questions. So I named
the I d K. But it stands for ignorantly delivering knowledge.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So wow, So.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
How do you get getting all these deals?
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Man?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Every nobody just likes you, That's what it seems like.
It's like everybody likes you.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Kanye is calling you up to your crib. Airbacks is
just giving you a deal for yourself.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
You design, design, you design an Airmax Like, come on, yeah, oh,
I designed five of them in two hours, correct me.
But but no, the whole ship is I don't really
like reach out to people unless I got something to
offer that makes sense, and I make it make sense.
So like a lot of people pick up my calls
(20:30):
because they know like if I'm I'm calling you the
bad it makes sense. Yeah, not even just the bag,
it's just whatever the idea is. I really think about
my ideas and and before I come I don't just
be calling people asking people for stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I have to have something to offer or something that
makes sense for you if I ask you for something.
So I've been doing that and I built a reputation
doing that, and as time progresses, people start to see
like vision wise, like I really like make ship that's
in my head come to life, Like so this deal
is with Nike that's like five years and making deal
(21:08):
with Nike. Yeah, I'm signed to Nike officially, a long
term deal with them. That that happened in last June.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Last yun close.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
If you're around it's easy everybody around me. I definitely
need the Maryrior Maxes. I ain't gonna like.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Max, how did you get this deal?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It was like it always starts with like I put
it on my phone, like right now, I got Michael
Jordan's I mean, it ain't really like crazy, like nobody
really I ain't really announced this yet, but I'm one
of the three artists in the history of Nike to
have a joint deal with Nike and Jordan. So I'm
(21:53):
a Jordan. I have a Jorinding deal and a Nike
deal together.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
The people that got.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Basically wants to know how.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
You before I get into that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
The only people that have it is me, Billie Eilish
and Travis Scott like in entertainment, and the only other
person outside of entertainers is Virgil rest in Peace. So
I got that because uh, I literally man so many
(22:25):
ways to kind of explain that. So the main thing
is I've obviously been down with Nike and supporting them
and really mainly just posting their stuff for like years,
so you post them on your social media. Yeah, before
I even had it the deal. But what I did
was I believed in it and wanted it that much
and stuck by them and then proved how much I
(22:48):
would be valuable to them for years.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
And and and I never let it go.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
And in my background on my phone right now, it's
Michael Jordan used to be a Nike check until I
got the deal. Then I changed it to Jordan, and
then I got that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I gotta change your yo.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That's that's how I think six billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
It was like manifestation, that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, No, I think manifestation is a really big part
of what I do. Like, I really like you guys,
anybody around me, I'll be saying emost ridiculous ship tip
to you. At first you hear it, but I'm like,
really make it happen. That's why I send it. In
the group chat, I'll be showing you all the progress
like of how we live in that chat.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, what advice would you give, like some up and
coming artists that's like looking at because I'm like the
way Rory described you as like man, this dude disappears
is man like he's on the call.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
His hand's own.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You know, I don't see a lot of on the
way ain't gonna definitely definitely.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Gonna be on that type of time. They'd be like, ah, yeah,
just let me know what.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
My advice would be gratitude because everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Not business savvy. I was a hustler of my whole life.
Like I'm talking about life, I used to. I did
a lot of things and hustle for a very long time.
COmON was always good at it, So that was in me.
Not everybody's like that. But the one thing I say
everyone can adopt is gratitude, you know what I'm saying,
being thankful for the little things that you have and
(24:13):
then and then when things are going wrong, never giving
up because you have gratitude for what you do have.
Like that shit probably is at this point. You can't
tell me nothing after Coachella what we did with all
of that stuff and the collaboration with Loanvaughan and all
that shit.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's like a nigga, really like did some shit?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You know?
Speaker 8 (24:34):
And how important is it for artists especially to pay
attention to their business.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
The best way to explain that is if you're good
at that kind of shit, that's very important. If you now,
you better find somebody that is that you trust, because
I can't say everybody can do that. You know, It's
a gift for me to be able to really think
the way I think in the space that I'm at.
They just wrote an article about me on Forbes and
(25:01):
they said thek is a polymath and broke down what
that is. And I didn't know what that was at first,
but I learned what it was, and it's basically a
person with wide arranging knowledge and the whole article is
about how I use the left brain and the right
brain equally as good and not. Most people can't really
do that. Like if I go, if I play basketball,
(25:22):
I could really literally shoot.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
With my right m I left. Not everybody could do that.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
So it's like, if that's not you, you got to
find a way to that works for you. In the
conversation of the business, it is important to know. But
some people get so good at the business that the
art suffers over years. Over the years, I had to
learn how to balance that properly. Like I'll be on
a zoom. We could be on a call right now
(25:46):
and all this shit. I'll be able to go in
a booth, like give me a second. I don't really
write my music, so say the lines whatever like jay
Z Yeah, like honestly, truthfully, like I ninety percent of
what I make, it's from the top of my head.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
So I do that shit.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
And then had somebody else come, had somebody else come,
and I'll tell the engineer this, this, this is this,
I'll be back, finish the call, come back to the music.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
With this last album, I started just recording that night
when everybody sleep, nobody bothering me, I can really record,
So that's the new thing I do now. But I
used to be able to balance that really well.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Question does IDK have a personal life? Does is IDK
have kids? I ain't got no kids, I don't have
no relationship. If I do have a relationship, I'm pretty
good at balancing it, you know.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I've learned how to really like.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Utilize time, like properly want that if it's the right
person for oh, kids for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
That's why I'm on this earth.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
My goal is to retiring when I'm forty, and the
reason why is because everything I'm doing right now is
to build a foundation for my family.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
And I want to be forty and travel.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
The world and focus on my family and wife and
all that stuff. And then my goal is to like
right now build the best foundation that I can for
us to be comfortable and healthy for when I, you know,
give turn forty. I could have kids tomorrow with whenever.
I'm just saying, I'm grinding til I'm forty. My retirement
(27:23):
is forty years old, are you now thirty?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Ten years ago?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Why it's forty to cut off date because I'm like,
it's shit is lit already right now imagine ten years
going harder, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So I look at it like a lot of us
chase this shift too long, like it'd be like it
never like.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Your uncle that's like thirty seven, still trying to rap you, like,
come on, man.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And even at that, it's not even just the rap part.
It's the money part. It's the like success. It's like
at a certain point, man, you did it, Like when
I look at like yay, you know, like I'm it
ain't nothing. You got to prove you made those first
three albums. You good for real? You know what I'm saying,
Like it's the Grady idea of gratitude, you know, like, well.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Let us know about this project.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So F sixty five is the album F is as
in like F one racing. And then sixty five is
the year Malcolm X was assassinated. And before he got assassinated,
he was switching from Nation to Islam to Orthodox Muslim
and he was about to change the conversation he was
(28:32):
going to start having, which was more inviting and easier
to have and inclusive to really bring change. But he got,
you know, assassinated before that could happen. So this album
is a continuation of that. That's why I like the
songs the Police. It's like it sounds so like smooth
and shit, but I'm saying some real shit and it's.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Like, yeast I listen to it. I really liked the song.
I like the message, and I liked the visuals. Like
I told you that. I was like, man, I was
watching it and I thought I was like, damn, he
was beating the ship out of him, and I thought
it was real.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, everybody, my lawyer, everybody hit me like, damn, you
didn't tell me this happened.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
What's crazy?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
They so they thought that the video was real too.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Everybody thinks it's real. But the thing about that video
is that it is real. It just didn't happen to
me in that moment. That's real, Like that ship happened,
you know what I'm saying, Like that feeling like no
matter what car, you and I could be in a
Toyota or a Lamborghini, the same ships gonna happen fast.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
And that's what I'm a little spoil because I heard
the whole I heard a lot because we got a
little a little pre empt. Yeah, I was telling him,
belove it. What's the name Pano Santana. Yeah, I think
they gonna You're gonna hear it. You're gonna hit him
on the left with that one.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, I already know people are gonna be like you
got on your album. I heard the be and that's
who I heard on the song. I thought he was fire,
you know, I thought it would work, and he did
his verse as I think you could do it, go harder.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Here's the game again, Juicy Fruit, Juicy Fruit.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Both of them did two verses.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
So you hold everybody accountable, the artists, the label, everybody
they sent a version you don't like you, Like if
I'm upset with you, you really fucked up like you
didn't you really didn't do something right. And if if
I if I happen to be upset with you and
it wasn't your fault, I apologize and fixed that immediately.
But if not, like you, you know, like you could
(30:26):
have did something better right. So that's how it is.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Accountability is probably like my strong strongest asset in terms
of like the is what I've developed as a man.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Before we go, is this merch right here to ax?
I see your camera has ax?
Speaker 4 (30:41):

Speaker 1 (01:14):
They would say, put down the weed. No, I think
you can.

spouse is support.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
We're all gonna have to come for me. I'm going missing.
Speaker 2 (02:59):

depends on how much money he got, man, it don't matter.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Don't nobody want to pay six hundred thousand, agreed, And
he's paying for her lawyer and legal fees, and he

I don't think he's gonna get that big ass check
from that. Yeah, yeah, he's not getting diesel.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
But isn't it based off your income and stuff the
reason why he has to pay someone?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
But if it's it's a talent though, so you don't
pay some ship is a talent.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That's like randomly somebody telling you, hey, you're back six
hundred thousand in the whole You're.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
What's up Everybody, It's side Ek and you're tuned into
the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Ball Alert Welcome to the Baller Show podcast, available everywhere
you get your podcast I d K is in the building.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
We appreciate you pulling up on us, man.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Where's I DK from.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I'm from the d m v PG County, Maryland.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Parents know my.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Mom from shit all, my dad from Ghana. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I was born in England. I came here when
I was two years old. Oh wow, I got three passports.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So you're kind of like a twenty one savage.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Sin in a sense. I guess that's what black people say. Yeah, uh,
how long have you been doing music?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
In?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Went twenty twelve when I got out of uh prison,
That's when I started really taking trying to do music seriously.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Oh why were you in prison?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Robberie was the the case that I had.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
But yeah, uh, what made you? You know, say, you
know what? H I'm done with that?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
He went to prison?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Let's go music?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Was this?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I don't weall? No? That was like my fourth time though.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So wait, it was the fourth time going to prison,
fourth prison in jail, So I.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Was state prison I came from.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I was in jail three hundred jail three times, and
then from jail the last time I went up the
road to y'all c I think y'all call it down
the road here, but up the road, yeah, up the
road to state President and I started doing music. What
was the point where you say, you know what, at
the first time, it's just that prison reform like all that,
like you know, people fighting for all that stuff. Is
(06:55):
it's real because I only got in trouble once, but
I had violations for not paying home detention, not coming
home on time, like.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Little stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So it's like it's like it's like a system exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's the system that Meek Mills talks about to where
they make it to where you're going to make a
small mistake to go back.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Exactly, That's exactly what it was. So I didn't really
get in trouble again. It just was more so like
the first time, I learned my lesson. But it's just
the way the system is set up. It's hard to
like stay out.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
So but it's been a while since. So what changed
that you said, you know what.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I wasn't on probation, no more parole.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Nah, But nah, to be fair, I haven't gotten in
any issues and nothing like that since you know, even if.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I was on probation and parole, so I parolled out.
I was supposed to stay there the last time for
a year. I got out in seven months.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Because of parole because mainly because I was already like
in school doing all like stuff like that before I
went back to prison. So they're all right, you could
function in the society.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So is that what parole means?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like that they look at you as like somebody who
can be functional in society when you yeah, out of.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Probation is different. Probation is way more mild. Probation is like,
don't smoke weed, you know, get pitted tests if you
even have that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It's way more lenient.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Parole is like, if you get in trouble, you're going
straight back to prison.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So that's like the three the three strike rule.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Nah, that's a whole nother thing. I think that's more
like la too oh god like, but three strikes is like,
you get in trouble, get out, Get in trouble, get out.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So I've seen I've seen that your video was posted
and you made a music video about you, you.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Know, having some altercation with the law. Was that real?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Nahn? That was real situations?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Though?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I thought that was that video looks real, man.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I was like, damn they was whooping your ass the police.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
The entire time when you was in prison. Was your
music popping off at any time?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Nah, I didn't even start doing music.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I started because I used to memorize the beats on
the radio, and so you got like the first when
I went in, there was like no Instagram, none of that.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
When I got out, it was Instagram and.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Chief Keith, you know what I'm saying, so real like
so like I was listening to the beats on the
on the radio sign and and I wo memorize him
and just start rapping. But I used to help people
get their GD so I was a tutor in prison
and I used to be and yeah, Hanna Barber, yeah anything.
(09:40):
Talked to some of the people that they still locked up.
Dan my man, my man, he was there eight years
before I got there, and this is eleven years now.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
He's still in. He still got five more years.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
So how were you able to adjust when you got out?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I mean I wasn't in that long, so you know,
but like.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
You said, you know, when you went in, there was
no Instagram. You know, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Got out, it's like a whole new world.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
People making money, getting rich off some medio.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I just well, it's funny as when Instagram first started.
So it's twenty twelve, so I think it started twenty
eleven or something like that. But basically, when I got out,
everyone kept telling me on the phone like, yeah, you
gotta get Instagram, like what is it like you just
post pictures?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
And I'm like, sound that shit sound dumb? Like I
don't know why.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So when I got I remember my first post I
posted it, and it's so funny because I look at
my Instagram now and I'm like, wow, I remember I
got forty likes and it's like, damn, nigga, you got
forty likes?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Is that picture still up?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I can find it, but it ain't on this algorithm.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I ain't nobody getting forty like so less stuff.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
So get you get out and now we're doing music.
What's your first song that you go to? You say, okay,
do you have money? Are you going to the studio?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Ah? My man shutout though.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Man he had studio in his basement, and I told
him before I got out, like, look, man, when I
get out, man, I'm really trying to make something of myself. Man,
I ain't got no money to do this. But like
did he believe out for me. Yeah, he believed in me,
and we just worked on that. I was trying to
go back to school and balance that out, but I
just stopped paying attention to school. It went from not
(11:19):
coming to class but being in the like.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
In school, to not coming to school.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Who were you at?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I was at PG Community College, and then from not
going to school at all to not registering for a semester.
And then I just was like, I guess this is
what I'm gonna do. So, you know, I had to
really hustle me all my folks to figure out how
to get the money to get the music stuff rolling.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
And that took a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You know, that took like because I really my last
job was twenty fifteen. I started rapping twenty twelve, and
then I would say my first million dollars was twenty ninety.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
How did that? How did that feel?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
It was crazy?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I sent the screenshot about you almost tell your own
boys you got a million sitting in the tell them
because I got the friends where I could do that. Okay,
give me give us the play, Like what happened to
get you to that point?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Did you get that million?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You get that million?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
My boy?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I mean before I even made it to that point though,
I probably spent five hundred thousand of my own money
trying to get this moving on your own a lot
of different ways, a lot of different ways.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
One of the main ways.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Though, it was just like oh uh, doing like independent
deals one off deals and.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Getting like a couple of hundred thousand all and.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Stuff like that went off, like as far as music goes.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
On one album deal with like independent also you just
building it up.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
It's kind of like that, yeah, like writing or your
own music or my music.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, but I just I think like one thing I
was able to do, and even to this day, it's
like showing a lot of like really big artists.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
They look up to what I do and like respect
what I do.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So I had, like I remember I had a song
with Billie Eilish and all these things.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It wasn't it. It ever came out, but like I had
those kind.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Of stugs of the song.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I still got you better put that ship out. I
got the relationships. So like a lot of the stuff,
like people was willing to like take risks on me,
which it was never really a risk because they all
made their money back, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
So what was the song that put you in these
people's ears?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I don't have one till the day.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
There's a bunch of songs and a bunch of to
basically one hundred shows, like I've done like four hundred shows.
But when I just did Coachella, were I went over
the track list once, I rehearsed twice and the third
time doing that set was at Coachella on stage.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Wow, I'm just trying to understand the buzz, Like what
got you to these people's attention?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
A whole body of work?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, it really was like bodies of work?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Okay, because you build an underground presence.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What's a fan favorite?
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Because like you said, you built an underground presence and
you know they put you here.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
What is what's favorite? What's funny you say that, right?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
If I was a main more mainstream artist, I would
have like I would be like Drake in the sense
of my fans. I got so much music that they
like fan favorites. It's hard to even do a whole
hour set now because I don't have enough space to
put all of the songs in. So in my fan
base and in that world that I'm in, there's a
(14:46):
lot of them.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
And is this coming from SoundCloud or all that?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Were you?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Where are they usually finding you at.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music? I mean whatever, It's hard to say,
like I got a really unique situation and story. Yes,
it's just continuously like chipping away little by little and
never giving up. That's what.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
How did you realize that you had that you were
starting to gain fans and you start to feel like, Okay,
this feels, you know, a little bit different now.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I think, to be honest, it was a big turning
point was I got it randomly got a call from
Kanye and he was just.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Like, yo, I heard about your album. Album wasn't out yet.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
He's like I would love to hear.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, he was like at some point today cannot connect
with you. And I'm like bet And I went to
his house and he was eating lemon cake.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So you get a random call from Kanye and he's
like he heard you first of all, I know.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He was like, how know you heard my album here?
I know how you heard it eighty A Keys. Well,
he didn't hear the album. He heard about it. EIGHTIEA
Keys is like he heard it one time and it
was telling everybody sending pictures a house all this stuff.
So yeah, it was like more so that and then
and then yeah, you got a hold of it. And
(16:06):
then the next day Tyler the creator came to my
house to come listen to it too. It was like
the album before it came out was kind of making
its ways around, and then people kind of like heard
it when it came out. So it's like it's more
like I'm more like critical acclaim, Like people just know,
like the stuff I do is of a certain quality
(16:27):
and caliber.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
So I work for.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Warner Records and very rarely do I see the artists
on a call. Yeah, he talked about this because I
was like, yo, wet, I got his call and the
artist is on the call.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
We always talk about the artists, but we're.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
On the call and he's on the call, Like this
is this is strange, But I funk with that. I'm
over here like, yo, you want to know what we're
talking about, what we're doing?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
What where are we finna go?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You know?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I thought that was dope. I wanted to give your
flowers and I appreciate it very player. Why did you
want to be on that?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
To be honest with you. I thought that was normal.
I never like my whole career, I always been like that.
So to me, it's like I know my vision, I
know how to articulate it, and I know also, I mean,
I know you see in a group chat. I know
how to hold people accountable too.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
But one thing I will say, though, you'll never see
me go on social media and talk about my label
because that's a lot of people and not everybody falls
under the category of whoever might have sucked your shit up,
So I never look at it like that. But it's
family business, so it's staying there. When it's like when
you it rarely happens. But when I when it ain't,
you know what I mean, you're gonna hear it from me.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I thought that was dope, So idicate the businessman.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I wanted this shit so bad that I wasn't about
to wait for no manager or somebody to come along.
When I first started, I kind of sucked, so it
was like there wasn't no manager that was going to
come and do that for me. So I remember I
got my first video to a million or a song
on SoundCloud to a million of plays listens, and that
(18:06):
was a confidence and I just kept going that was.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
The breaker SoundCloud.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, And that makes sense now okay SoundCloud.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Okay, So if it's like, if we're breaking it down
like that, then SoundCloud is it breaks?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
A lot of artists don't like z or a lot
of the.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I feel like, like low Ki, it'd be breaking, like
because I used to always wondering, like when artists like
Uzzi and Playboy Cardi got big. I'm like, why is
just dropping a song on SoundCloud and you were like.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Breaking?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Like you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But you talked about earlier that you have a song
with billi OLiS. How did that come about?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Same ship?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Like, people just be reaching out to me man, like
all that fire. Wow, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's you.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You live a great life, man, have a life that
I feel like a lot of big artists wish that
these people were reaching out to them.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Can we talk about these shoes though, because that's your
camera right there. Uh?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Air Max made these for you? Correct?
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Is this a collaboration? Is the you designed these air Maxes?
Where can people buy them? Can people these are friends
and family? I don't have the they not coming out.
I'm working on something that will probably be out. That's
the best way to explain that. How did you get
a air Max? How did you get to be able
(19:29):
to create I d K? Is this whole interview.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
We don't know how he got how he got the
whole I guess, so yeah, like, what how did you
get how'd you come up with your name?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
My name in prison? You know, I don't know now.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
In prison, I just was thinking about what I wanted
to name myself, and I wanted to name myself something
that will prompt people to ask questions. So I named
the I d K. But it stands for ignorantly delivering knowledge.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So wow, So.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
How do you get getting all these deals?
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Man?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Every nobody just likes you, That's what it seems like.
It's like everybody likes you.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Kanye is calling you up to your crib. Airbacks is
just giving you a deal for yourself.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
You design, design, you design an Airmax Like, come on, yeah, oh,
I designed five of them in two hours, correct me.
But but no, the whole ship is I don't really
like reach out to people unless I got something to
offer that makes sense, and I make it make sense.
So like a lot of people pick up my calls
(20:30):
because they know like if I'm I'm calling you the
bad it makes sense. Yeah, not even just the bag,
it's just whatever the idea is. I really think about
my ideas and and before I come I don't just
be calling people asking people for stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I have to have something to offer or something that
makes sense for you if I ask you for something.
So I've been doing that and I built a reputation
doing that, and as time progresses, people start to see
like vision wise, like I really like make ship that's
in my head come to life, Like so this deal
is with Nike that's like five years and making deal
(21:08):
with Nike. Yeah, I'm signed to Nike officially, a long
term deal with them. That that happened in last June.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Last yun close.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
If you're around it's easy everybody around me. I definitely
need the Maryrior Maxes. I ain't gonna like.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Max, how did you get this deal?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It was like it always starts with like I put
it on my phone, like right now, I got Michael
Jordan's I mean, it ain't really like crazy, like nobody
really I ain't really announced this yet, but I'm one
of the three artists in the history of Nike to
have a joint deal with Nike and Jordan. So I'm
(21:53):
a Jordan. I have a Jorinding deal and a Nike
deal together.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
The people that got.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Basically wants to know how.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
You before I get into that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
The only people that have it is me, Billie Eilish
and Travis Scott like in entertainment, and the only other
person outside of entertainers is Virgil rest in Peace. So
I got that because uh, I literally man so many
(22:25):
ways to kind of explain that. So the main thing
is I've obviously been down with Nike and supporting them
and really mainly just posting their stuff for like years,
so you post them on your social media. Yeah, before
I even had it the deal. But what I did
was I believed in it and wanted it that much
and stuck by them and then proved how much I
(22:48):
would be valuable to them for years.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
And and and I never let it go.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
And in my background on my phone right now, it's
Michael Jordan used to be a Nike check until I
got the deal. Then I changed it to Jordan, and
then I got that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I gotta change your yo.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That's that's how I think six billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
It was like manifestation, that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, No, I think manifestation is a really big part
of what I do. Like, I really like you guys,
anybody around me, I'll be saying emost ridiculous ship tip
to you. At first you hear it, but I'm like,
really make it happen. That's why I send it. In
the group chat, I'll be showing you all the progress
like of how we live in that chat.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, what advice would you give, like some up and
coming artists that's like looking at because I'm like the
way Rory described you as like man, this dude disappears
is man like he's on the call.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
His hand's own.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You know, I don't see a lot of on the
way ain't gonna definitely definitely.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Gonna be on that type of time. They'd be like, ah, yeah,
just let me know what.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
My advice would be gratitude because everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Not business savvy. I was a hustler of my whole life.
Like I'm talking about life, I used to. I did
a lot of things and hustle for a very long time.
COmON was always good at it, So that was in me.
Not everybody's like that. But the one thing I say
everyone can adopt is gratitude, you know what I'm saying,
being thankful for the little things that you have and
(24:13):
then and then when things are going wrong, never giving
up because you have gratitude for what you do have.
Like that shit probably is at this point. You can't
tell me nothing after Coachella what we did with all
of that stuff and the collaboration with Loanvaughan and all
that shit.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's like a nigga, really like did some shit?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You know?
Speaker 8 (24:34):
And how important is it for artists especially to pay
attention to their business.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
The best way to explain that is if you're good
at that kind of shit, that's very important. If you now,
you better find somebody that is that you trust, because
I can't say everybody can do that. You know, It's
a gift for me to be able to really think
the way I think in the space that I'm at.
They just wrote an article about me on Forbes and
(25:01):
they said thek is a polymath and broke down what
that is. And I didn't know what that was at first,
but I learned what it was, and it's basically a
person with wide arranging knowledge and the whole article is
about how I use the left brain and the right
brain equally as good and not. Most people can't really
do that. Like if I go, if I play basketball,
(25:22):
I could really literally shoot.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
With my right m I left. Not everybody could do that.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
So it's like, if that's not you, you got to
find a way to that works for you. In the
conversation of the business, it is important to know. But
some people get so good at the business that the
art suffers over years. Over the years, I had to
learn how to balance that properly. Like I'll be on
a zoom. We could be on a call right now
(25:46):
and all this shit. I'll be able to go in
a booth, like give me a second. I don't really
write my music, so say the lines whatever like jay
Z Yeah, like honestly, truthfully, like I ninety percent of
what I make, it's from the top of my head.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
So I do that shit.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
And then had somebody else come, had somebody else come,
and I'll tell the engineer this, this, this is this,
I'll be back, finish the call, come back to the music.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
With this last album, I started just recording that night
when everybody sleep, nobody bothering me, I can really record,
So that's the new thing I do now. But I
used to be able to balance that really well.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Question does IDK have a personal life? Does is IDK
have kids? I ain't got no kids, I don't have
no relationship. If I do have a relationship, I'm pretty
good at balancing it, you know.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I've learned how to really like.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Utilize time, like properly want that if it's the right
person for oh, kids for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
That's why I'm on this earth.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
My goal is to retiring when I'm forty, and the
reason why is because everything I'm doing right now is
to build a foundation for my family.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
And I want to be forty and travel.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
The world and focus on my family and wife and
all that stuff. And then my goal is to like
right now build the best foundation that I can for
us to be comfortable and healthy for when I, you know,
give turn forty. I could have kids tomorrow with whenever.
I'm just saying, I'm grinding til I'm forty. My retirement
(27:23):
is forty years old, are you now thirty?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Ten years ago?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Why it's forty to cut off date because I'm like,
it's shit is lit already right now imagine ten years
going harder, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So I look at it like a lot of us
chase this shift too long, like it'd be like it
never like.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Your uncle that's like thirty seven, still trying to rap you, like,
come on, man.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And even at that, it's not even just the rap part.
It's the money part. It's the like success. It's like
at a certain point, man, you did it, Like when
I look at like yay, you know, like I'm it
ain't nothing. You got to prove you made those first
three albums. You good for real? You know what I'm saying,
Like it's the Grady idea of gratitude, you know, like, well.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Let us know about this project.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So F sixty five is the album F is as
in like F one racing. And then sixty five is
the year Malcolm X was assassinated. And before he got assassinated,
he was switching from Nation to Islam to Orthodox Muslim
and he was about to change the conversation he was
(28:32):
going to start having, which was more inviting and easier
to have and inclusive to really bring change. But he got,
you know, assassinated before that could happen. So this album
is a continuation of that. That's why I like the
songs the Police. It's like it sounds so like smooth
and shit, but I'm saying some real shit and it's.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Like, yeast I listen to it. I really liked the song.
I like the message, and I liked the visuals. Like
I told you that. I was like, man, I was
watching it and I thought I was like, damn, he
was beating the ship out of him, and I thought
it was real.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, everybody, my lawyer, everybody hit me like, damn, you
didn't tell me this happened.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
What's crazy?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
They so they thought that the video was real too.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Everybody thinks it's real. But the thing about that video
is that it is real. It just didn't happen to
me in that moment. That's real, Like that ship happened,
you know what I'm saying, Like that feeling like no
matter what car, you and I could be in a
Toyota or a Lamborghini, the same ships gonna happen fast.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
And that's what I'm a little spoil because I heard
the whole I heard a lot because we got a
little a little pre empt. Yeah, I was telling him,
belove it. What's the name Pano Santana. Yeah, I think
they gonna You're gonna hear it. You're gonna hit him
on the left with that one.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, I already know people are gonna be like you
got on your album. I heard the be and that's
who I heard on the song. I thought he was fire,
you know, I thought it would work, and he did
his verse as I think you could do it, go harder.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Here's the game again, Juicy Fruit, Juicy Fruit.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Both of them did two verses.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
So you hold everybody accountable, the artists, the label, everybody
they sent a version you don't like you, Like if
I'm upset with you, you really fucked up like you
didn't you really didn't do something right. And if if
I if I happen to be upset with you and
it wasn't your fault, I apologize and fixed that immediately.
But if not, like you, you know, like you could
(30:26):
have did something better right. So that's how it is.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Accountability is probably like my strong strongest asset in terms
of like the is what I've developed as a man.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Before we go, is this merch right here to ax?

My advice everybody and I've been saying is make sure
you have gratitude for all the things that you have.
Like I feel like, you know, I come from immigrant
parents and all that. And if you're if you get set,
if your feet on American soil, you got it better
than ninety percent of the people and the rest of

the world. So no matter what you're going through, always
have gratitude for what you are, what you were able
to accomplish, or what you do have.
