I'm from Savannah, Georgia to Atlanta around like fifth grade.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Fifth grade.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
I could, like, you know, start my rap career in
my basketball now.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Of course, your dad is a very well known rapper,
one of the biggest rappers in the beginning ages of
Southern rap, Camouflage RP, the Camouflage. You are his only kid. Yeah, okay,
and you weren't born yet when he passed away, correct,
And so how was it like for you?

Speaker 4 (02:35):
That's how it all started, like in the city, Like
my mom didn't tell me my dad was. At first,
I just like found out the people telling me, like
you feel me like that he was a rapper, you
know what I'm saying, legendary rappers, legendary rapper. See, I
didn't know you know what I'm saying until like I'm
walking around, I'm getting like a little special treatment. They're like,
oh you flage daughter. I'm like, yeah, you know what
I mean, And I want to go listen. And I
did my research and I'm like, hey, he was hard though,

(02:56):
like you know what I'm saying. He wasn't like regular
and man, so I heard that, I was like, man,
I'm finna wrap like it was just it was that
the ending of his name camouflage flage, yeah in that.
So I just heard that and I was inspired to Matt.
I just got chill bumps, like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
How old are you at this time when you're learning
who your dad is?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Seven six seven? And then one day me and my
uncle was on the floor putting CDs and and the
DVD thing and it played played the instrumental and I
just started rapping over like the raps ain't made no sense,
But I was like, I like this beat, and my
uncle wrote me a song.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
It was over it. How did mom get involved? Because
she hesitated at first.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Or what She'll always was all in like, no, you're
not rapping, you know what I'm saying. She was like, no,
go read a book, go to school, act regular, you
know what I'm saying. And I was like, no, I
want to rap, like I'm a rapper, Like I gotta rap,
you know what I mean. So I was like, I
was like yeah, and I kind of me and my
uncle we convinced her because he like wrote me a
song and I wrapped it to her on the bed.

(03:53):
I was sitting on the standing on the bed rapping.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I was like, she laughing in the background. Just sounds
pretty afric.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
I was rapping on the bed. She recorded it, man,
I was like, man, this is my song. I went
to the studio, made a little EP and I put
it out and then I performed at my dad birthday
party she do every year for him, and like my
aunties and uncles and they so you know, they was
turning me up, hyping me up. But I was rocking
the stage like for real, and they was like, but
she got something. So my mama posting on YouTube. The

(04:19):
clip when a little viral like in the city back then,
probably ten thousand views, like that was a lot of views.
Yeah yeah, the whole population right right right, but you
know how y'all let but no, it was like it
was like I'm lit. So they was like does she
do birthday parties and stuff like that?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I was like yeah, like are you performing for
people's birthdays?

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah? So she went from not wanting me to rap
to being like, yeah, we take bookings, you feel me?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
So she.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Became she became mama during an instant and ever since
then she quit a job. Like when we moved to
Atlanta to go in the rap game, she quit her job.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Wow, so moms quit her job to become for you
to come on the rap game.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Full time, Like because we was in a rap game.
People don't know. We was in the rap Gann House
for three months straight, like we just had to move there,
you feel me? So like was she gonna tell her job?
Like you know what I'm saying, Like she had to leave,
so she became full on mama. She went from Dennis
to manage that's wow.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yeah, it was a lot of people's parents there, a
lot of kids, parents not.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
So the only person like parent was there was Roscoe.
I think, if I'm not mistaken, everybody else came with
their sister, they uncle and stuff like that. But my mama,
like my mama. Yeah, and King Roscoe shout out to
Mama DJ. They risk it all late.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
They Mama still be texting me Mama Rosco.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, they still I love Mama DJ. But yeah, and
they was the only two.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So how'd y'all get the call to to be on
the rap game?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
So let me tell you. I seen the commercial the
first one. When the first one came with like a
Loto peach little Nico, I was like, oh my god, Mama,
I won't be on that, Like you know what I'm saying.
It was like it was big because it was the
first thing with kids as rappers. I'm like, that's me,
Like you feel me. I want to be on that.
So the second season hit him up. They was like, nah,
show that one.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
No, he was.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
He was on the one after me. So the second
one they was like, she don't really fit the storyline
because they had like big city so it was like Brooklyn, Chicago,
you know what I'm saying. Stuff like that. So I'm
from Savannah. They was like that ain't gonna work. Like
all right, cool, third season they had me in consideration,
so I'm doing these zooms and stuff and then they
was like, no, you ain't make it. But you were
alternate though, so like something happened if somebody drop out

(06:25):
and you can come. It happened like somebody dropped out
and we did an interview. They was like, we love you,
get welcome to the show. And it happened like that.
And at that time, I was like, man, but get
y'all y'all want me on the show anyway? My mom
was like no, do it, Like you know what I'm saying,
the best thing she ever said. So you know, I
make it on the show. And like that was like
that rest was like history. How did your world turn around?

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (06:48):
Man?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Like I don't think people understand the magnitude of like
that show. Like we were like every Friday you watched
the rap game like in the Black household, like that's
where it was. I was like, you know what I'm saying,
Like it got to a point one time, remember when
our races was so high that the golf the Masters
was on and then we passed the Masters, Like you
know what I'm saying, viewership, So it was that big

(07:09):
and like that right there just stamped my face. You
know what I'm saying in the culture, you know what
I'm saying, and the kids and the parents and everything.
I still to this day, I Onlyn look the same
from the rap game, you feel me so like it
was just such a big platform and I wanted to
shout out JD for that because he really put kids
in the position to be able to be like noticed
on this large scale. Yeah, I just hit him. I

(07:30):
was like, Jay, you we gotta do something like for the culture.
And man, it was so big for me being a kid,
because it was no way I was gonna get my
music out there because nobody wanted to re listen no
twelve year old rap. Like my voice was screaky, screechy,
and like, you know, I wasn't really talking about nothing,
you know what I'm saying. So it was just a
good way to put my face out there for.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Yeah, I see JD was talking about that about how
you know he feel like that kids don't get the
recognition that they used to.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Back in the day.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
It was different me because we was getting a little
bad because like I on the TV show like they
were throwing that bag. Like kids shows was a big market.
It ain't as a big, biggest market as you are
gonna be when you like you know what I'm saying,
But it's still a big market because it's like a
whole bunch of little kids and when they come to
the show, they got to bring their parents, so that's
an extra ticket.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
So were you getting booked to like perform across the country,
like for birthday parties and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Birthday parties little kids showed, they used to put on
that little theaters, like you know what I'm saying. And
they actually did a Rap Game tour, but they left
me off. I was so mad, Bro, they got me
on a tour, but it was a dope tour because
they were doing amphitheaters and you know what I'm saying.
So it was a big market and people were really
coming to see it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
It was dope. So you're you're you're this big superstar
from the Rap Game and then all of a sudden,
I just start seeing you on my timeline hooping though,
Like when I'm talking about like hooping, like I'm over here,
like you crossing folks over late with the lay leg
I'm over here, Like, Yo, why didn't I never see this?
Like are you still hooping when the rap game is

(08:54):
going on?

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Or you just everybody think I just started hooping and
rapping out of nowhere. I've been doing this my whole life,
like you know what I'm saying. I've been hooping before.
I've been rapping for for like with the boys at
the Boys Club. So I've been doing it my whole life,
but I never put it on the camera, like you
know what I'm saying, Like no nobody knew. And then
I was hooping at LA Fitness, like you know what
I'm saying. So I'm playing against dudes every day, like
I'm going to the gym every day. I'm playing against

(09:14):
grown men, like going at it, you know what I'm saying.
So when it was time for me to go play
with the girls on AAU, I'm running through them.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
But your girl.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
But the teams that I was on, they was like
they were no high seed teams or we were no
big eybl teams. So I wouldn't get no recognition until
like my damn, my junior year, you feel me, And
that's the last year you could play. Yeah, in high
school over aau because the next year you were seeing
you're done.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh gos right.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
So my sophomore year, I was playing on Bounced Nation
right with Jay. My uncle Mon got in contact for
street is six. So he was like, yeah, bro, fly
like you could play in college. And I'm right now
I'm getting a little bit of rapping. When I'm like, bro,
I'm rapping, I'm finna get a deal. I'm gonna go
to LA. I'm not worried about college right now. He
was like, if I get you on the phone, this
coach and she tells you she offer you a scholarship

(10:02):
what you're doing, or like, give me on the phone.
You know my first offer taught to coach you know
from Old Miss. She like, hey, this coachyo at Old Miss.
We offer you a full scholarship. Damn, Like this is real,
Like you know what I'm saying, Like college, Like I didn't.
It didn't register because I'm like, bro, like what girls
do in college? They don't hoop for real, Like you
know what I'm saying because like just like half the

(10:22):
rest of the country, I ain't watch remming basketball for
real for real, you know what I'm saying. And so
I was like, girls ain't talking about Like I only
knew boys go to go to college and go to
the lead and get it. Pray. I ain't hear no
girls doing this. I'm like, did my research, Dang, like
I could play in college, Like you know what I'm saying,
this could be something like I never knew I could
play on this stage. Like yeah, next thing, you know,
my offer started racking up, racking or racking up. I

(10:45):
got every offer in the country, like except for Yukon
in South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Like she remember, oh yeah they come out to South
Carolina with them dogs.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had every I did not get
the offer from South Carolina or Yukon.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Though, like the two ones right there.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah. She called me and then she like she was
like so, she was like, so, look, I like your
game whatever, but I ain't gonna offer you yet.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
And I was like what.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
And it's the time I got the big head because
I'm getting every from South Carolina name Don the Phone No, no, no,
coach Don legendary. But I was like, I was like,
all right, man, scratch that off the list. So I
was like, because in this moment, I'm like I'm getting
every off I won't you feel me? Like, but I
still ain't know where I was going to go to college.

(11:29):
And next summer I met Donald American played the Jordan
Brand Classic. I Want m v P Slam Classic. I
want m v P and he a the top girls
then and I'm ranked fifty five, like you feel me.
So I had a little chip on my shoulder like
I'm coming here and like it's like they bringing on,
bring me here because they know me and they know
my namely from the rap game, but they really want
to see, like what she talking about coming here? And

(11:51):
I'm marking them, folks, you got no more player here.
I don't want her on my team. Put on the
other team, you feel me. M v P. Snatch that
Emmy that yeah? Yeah, literally, yeah number one? Play on
that team. Oh yeah, I don't even want to play
with you. Let's go scratch that. Give me that m VP.
You feel me?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
So yeah, yeah, yeah yeah talk that.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
I had to let him know, like I'm not to
be played with, you know what I'm saying, And that
was just building that foundation in that rep as a
basketball player, because I ain't have none. They've been playing
on the circuit since seventh grade. They getting scouted and
you said, seventh grade, I'm rapping. I ain't. You ain't hooping.
So I had to get it out the mud. And
then I became like the number six guard in the country.

Man?

Speaker 4 (12:46):
I seen coach Mogi on TV acting crazy like she
wasn't popping it back then? How she popping it out,
but she still had her orange bright blazer. She was
cussing out the ref like, man, you know what I'm saying.
I was like, I need to play for her. And
then I already knew her resume, so I told my
coaches because she won where before Baylor twelve chips in
a row, Like you're in her conference? Like who does that?

(13:08):
So she had three national championships Hall of Fame coach.
I'm like, I'm going to play for her, like you
know what I'm saying, Like that's what I need. But
at that time, she was at Baylor moving to LSU
and I was like, this is perfect, Like nobody over there.
I can help build something, you feel me like I
was the first person to come over there. That was
the first McDonald American, you feel me. So I was like, well,
I can build something with her. And then like coaches,

(13:29):
they didn't really want to take a chance on me
in basketball, like they always asked, like what what you
want to do? Most though, like you know what I'm saying,
what you love right as soon as they say that,
scratch you off because you a done deal. You know
what I'm saying. But the different coach mooke you was,
she was I ain't putting in no box Like on
my visit there, she took me to the studio. You
feel me, Like, yeah, she took me to the studio.
She said this one you're gonna record that, Like you

(13:51):

championships telling me this and you win. You ain't got
no championship. You telling me that you I can't even
because you know, she see what she sees.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
She said, in the season, you mine off season, go
do what you want, be the biggest rap star. You
know what? I'm saying, and I respected it, and we
weren't good quick questions.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
So now you were a freshman, right, correct me? From
I know, it was kind of the upper classman was like, man,
hey man, you know what I'm saying. She ain't gonna
come over here and take my spot a rapper.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
They ain't give me a hard time. They just give
me a little side out because they knew I was
gonna come in. They was like, bro, she's gonna come
in acting boogie ye y.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
But nah, I'm like, bro, I'm kicking it like I'm
from Savannah, Georgia, like you feel me. I'm from the city,
like I'm you know what I'm saying. So I came
in there, but I came in there like yo, you
know this this me like you know what I'm saying.
I met Donald American. I'm coming here this you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
This is also Angel Reese's first year too, because she
transferred from Maryland.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, so in my head, but you this how you
think though In my head, I'm like, I'm a freshman,
Like this is gonna be hard like that they're gonna
be hard. How I'm gonna how I'm gonna start. How'm
I take over the team? This is my head like,
but out there I'm telling them, yeah, what's up, like
you know what I'm saying, popping like that, but it's.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
I'm like.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
Dog, so you know, it was like a respect thing.
But I came in and I was talking crazy, like
first crazy, I'm like, mater, none of y'all can't guard me.
Let's go line it up like you feel. That's where
my head was at, and I was popping it like
I was crossing up talking Cray. It got to a
point where like they didn't wanna play with me, like yeah,
I was talking too crazy like a ball. But I'm like, bro,

(15:36):
but this on my mindset was at tell you why man,
I worked too hard? Like I'm up five am. I
got another train in that team. I got another train
that one. I got another train that you know what
I'm I'm doing four days, I'm shooting a thousand shots today.
You ain't gonna tell me I'm not finna shoot the ball,
like you know what I'm saying, cause I feel like
my percentage gonna better because I shoot more shots. And
that's when my head was at, like Kobe had filled

(15:58):
up my head. You know what I mean. But I'm
putting in the work and I don't see none of
y'all in the gym with me. So it is what
it is, you know what I'm saying. And I had
to learn, you know. Andrew had to tell me, like
you know what I said, like you could talk to
me like that, and I respect it because I'm cut
from that cloth. But some people not cut from that
same cloth, so they not gonna take it away. I'm
gonna take it. So I had to learn how to

(16:20):
get my message through. I never changed my message. I
just had to find another way to deliver it. And
once I did that, we had a little come to
Jesus men. You know what I'm saying. I told him like, bro,
y'all got a problem, Like tell me, like I'm a poppy,
but I'm gonna listen to I want to learn from y'all,
like because these dogs don't get me wrong, like you
know what I'm saying, but like you know, I was like,
just talk to me, tell me. And then that's when
we kind of like came together and they realized like, nah,

(16:42):
she she she cool. You know what I'm saying. She
ad listen, you know, what I'm saying. But they knew
I was a hot head, like coming in like I'm
trying to take.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
A spot too, like somebody somebody spot getting taken.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, but it really wasn't no spots to take. It
was like your spot was up for grabs because it
was a new team. Oh you mean because she just
had came the team we had before she inherited those players.
This is the team she recruited, you feel me?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
So really just the first year that she put a teach,
she assembled the team, you feel me, So a spot
was up for grounds. She don't know none of us
except for the point guard Alexis.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh so no, wonder why you had to go in
there and talk shit.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Like yeah, I man, like you know what I'm saying.
So it was like that was my the way that
I approached it, you know what I'm saying. So, but
everything worked out perfectly, like we at the end, we
were sisters and we won a chip.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
So speaking of winning and losing, how did you feel
about both teams being offered to go to the White House?

Speaker 4 (17:36):
I was like, bro, like I had one question, one
question on it. If we lost, we have been invited
as well, and if the answer was yes, then okay.
But if the answer is no, didn't think about it,
you know what I'm saying. So that was really it.
I think that you know, winners go to the White House,
losers go home?

Speaker 6 (17:53):
Did the school make y'all go? Because everybody I felt
like was real rebellious and then y'all just jumped the
gun put our statement we ain't going. Yeah, it's like
wait come back, and yo were going like this school
was like no, they going no.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
So so you know, Angel did the interview and she
was like, nah, we ain't going, Like you know what
I'm saying. I was like, I guess we ain't gone.
But then like Doughter, but you know, she she she
was like you know she she was a real leader
about it and was like I added out of emotion.

(18:27):
I spoke out of emotion, and I won't take this
opportunity for people who actually want to go, you know
what I'm saying. So she deal with a county supposed
to do. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I wasn't when y'all went to the White House.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
What was your experience?

Speaker 2 (18:41):
It was cool, we're going back, Yeah, going back for sure?

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Did you get like a tour. We ain't get a
tour like we ain't no tour, Like I just has
to a room and the moment ain't no food or nothing.
I seen the Kansas City of Chiefs mean food. We
got some derbs, you know what I'm said, But like
Trump had got them McDonald's. That one time we was
done for like a happy meal. We was only there

(19:06):
for like an hour and a half. Two though, so

but like, don't get me wrong, like this the White
House really happened. I had on a crazy outfit. I
had stars all in in my pants suit looking crazy,
but nah no, they had to send a secret service.
We had to go through two check points, you know

(19:27):
what I'm saying. We had the band playing and all
of that. Like it was real presidential, don't get me wrong,
but like you know, I would like to tour or

play like you know what I'm saying, pick up or whatever,
but I pick up game.

Speaker 2 (20:00):

the guy. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
It's good, And we got to talk to the Vice president.
His will got some real encouraging words. You know what
I'm saying, coming from a black woman in the White House,
Like that's a big deal. So it was a good
experience just to see levels Like it's levels. Like I'm
a young small girl from Savannah and I'm in the
White health so it's different, you know what I'm saying. So,
and I'm here for a good reason. I'm here for

(20:27):
a reason.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Where does basketball come from?

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Where they have something for rarit?

Speaker 4 (20:32):

Speaker 4 (21:12):
For sports fanatic.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I love the sports observing of that, and I want
you to go to w NBA because I want to
go to the game. You know, me and Mama were
sitting next to each other's drink. You know what I'm saying,
and turn up and like job marand Dad. I'm gonna
be like jo, oh my god, it's a foul. I'm
coming on the court. You know what course? Do you

(21:35):
want to go to the w.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
N B A as a competitor in basketball?

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Who you want to play? The mass I would love
to buy your jersey from the.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
You know what I'm saying, Like you want to that's
a I feel like that's only natural. Yeah, like you
want to be. But you get this business woman that
I am.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know what I'm saying, as the business yourself, answer
this answer, diroughtly.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Now, I'm as a business woman, like it was like, Bro,
you gotta make sense, Like you know what I'm saying.
Like if I'm making how much money I'm making in
college and I got to go to the league and
take a pay cut, you know what I'm saying, It's like,
how does that really? Like you know what I'm saying,
How that do? What that do for me? Like I'm
out here risking my you know, my safety and I
could you know, injuries, anything, and I'm taking the pay

(22:16):
cut for what I'm doing music And I'm doing music,
but I love what I do so much that I
probably take it because I've always been my dream to
play in the WNBA, to play against the best of
the best, Like you know what I'm saying. So I
want I want to be in a position to help
the w NBA grow and not be bigger than that,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
As much as LSU is going viral, it's definitely shining
the light, you know, to help people, you know, get
better deals.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Man, man, women, Man, yeah, women, women's basketball is in
a new light, and it's it's about the people. It
ain't about Like, Bro, I know folks out here that's
killing scoring thirty a game all American, no deals, you
feel me. So it's just about building that brand, you
know what I'm saying, Like we have superstars now in basketball.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah it's dope. You had me and BT watching the
championship game saying like that, and I never watched women's basketball,
so it's like.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Wow, you got like you got like Kaitlyn Clark, Like
she's like a generational type of player. He personally haven't
seen nothing like it from a female, you know what
I mean. Like just and it's just like and for
women's basketball, you gotta be in that situation. She had
a perfect situation where a coach like, yeah, you got degreen,
like you know, build a team around you, do what
you want to do, you know what I'm saying. So

(23:28):
that's good for the game, you know what I'm saying,
creating superstars. You got men arguing over the game, men
doing this over the game. So it's just growing the game.
You're being a part of that change in real time.
How did that feel?

Speaker 6 (23:39):
Man?

Speaker 4 (23:39):
It feels like it's like them like I gotta make
sure that I I'm doing everything in a way where
it's like strategized, you know what I'm saying, Because it's
like right now, we're creating a blueprint. Anything that I
do is something that somebody else is gonna follow or
something else that can make this go big. So you
know what I'm saying, just like strategizing and trying to
make the best of the situation because it's hotter than
Greece right now.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Now with your basketball, it was I feel like, man,
that was like more controversy like basketball going on now
because you know, with they didn't.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Like y'all talking with Kaylen Clark did it. I feel
like I feel like it's like it was a big deal.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Man, It's not at It wasn't a problem for hoopers
per se problem for other people.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Maybe that's what I'm saying. That's in the media. We
made it.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
It was like the media like you know what I'm saying,
And it was it was a double standard type of thing,
you know what I'm saying, Like, you know how that
go a young black girl doing It's gonna be amplified more.
You have a negative connotation on it, but you got
to realize, like them two are hoopers. Kaylyn Clark is
a hooper, you know, and she's a competitor. Damn it

(24:52):
was a hooper she's a competitor. You know what I'm saying.
It's so off of me. It was like, now it's
just building the game, like, but you can't crack down
on just one per person when both people are doing
because my teammate, that's coming Haley Van, what's Haleyit? No
it to Haley?

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh so where did Haley play at Louisville? So you
got y'all grabbed her? Did you? How did y'all get her?

Speaker 4 (25:18):
She wanted to come where.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I saw that.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
You know what I'm saying. You know people at LS,
you like we just created something people to be a
part of it. Like they want to be a part
of them. They want to be able to express themselves.
Like every time I recruits see me, they be like,
I love how coaches let y'all do y'all thing. And
you know what I'm saying, Like, how is she? I'm like, bro,
she's she. We disciplined, don't get us wrong, but she
let it be ourselves. And you don't see that in
a woman's game. It's real. You're gonna it's my way

(25:45):
of the highway, you know what I'm saying. But coach Mochus,
you know we're young women were outspoken, you know what
I'm saying, But she meant she let it be known
that she the biggest alpha dog. You know what I'm saying.
We she on the court, so you know we respect
her because she got that the resume. So she she
just sold. She let us be us.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
Man.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
That's why I say she brought me to the studio.
I knew what type of person she was.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Like yep, I'm on the way.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, she let she let Angel be angel. She let
you know what I'm saying. So that's why people want
to be a part of that.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
So what going back to the music side, what label
would you like to sign to if you could pick.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Mm really live just like a label that understand, like
a label that's not gonna limit me. Like I look
at labels like official visits, like you know what I'm saying,
going to basketball like going to school. I don't know,
you don't get it.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
You don't get because they need to accept you as
an athlete as well.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
And a rappers. You know, some people don't want to
take that, take that barring, you know what I'm saying, Like,
you know.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
The right one will because I think a lot of
labels now they accept because we have some artists that
act too, So you got to acting schedule and you
got the right.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
So just the person who understands, just like school was like.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And now it was a music video being shot. I
don't know, I see I seen one of your partners
in the video. Were you in the video?

Speaker 6 (26:56):
No?

Speaker 4 (26:56):
I wasn't in the video.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
How come how come you wasn't in the video? I'm
talking about the lotto Song'm talking about lot.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Oh click oh not put it on the floor. I
did a rerisk called clickbak. How come how come Angel
Reese was in there but you one in there? Are
you a lot o cool?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I thought?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
We was like, I mean Angel like she loves like
being in videos. She's a cute girl, you know what
I'm saying. Like that's her thing, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
And I was like, I was like, I've been seeing
y'all together.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, lot so, yeah, a lot of She hit me
by it like the day before, so she did, Yeah,
she hit me. She was like, you be in video?
You feel me about to do I'm like, I'm in
la right now, but I'm like, yeah, I can make
it happen, Like you know what I'm saying hit my people.
But I was like, so when it came out, I
was like, I was like, we didn't make it happen,
like her people never hit my people or whatever. And

(27:44):
but I had seen like she had asked Angel before,
like a week before, you feel me, And I was like,
I was like, I was like, Okay, maybe she really
ain't want me in the video for real, but she
had to ask me because like we had kind of
a relationship with four and she put Angel in, you
know what I'm saying. But I was like, I didn't.
I didn't. I didn't really care because Angel was in it,

(28:07):
you know what I'm saying. And that was a big
moment for women's basketball. But at the same time, it's like,
you know what I'm saying, why why when you put
me in it? Like it just makes sense, you know
what I'm saying. Like I did the remix, you know
what I'm saying, It went viral. You know what I'm saying.
I'm a rapper, I go to LSU. You know what
I'm saying. We got rap game history, you know what
I'm saying. So that that situation, I felt like it
was a little weird, But you.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Think maybe y'all should have a maybe you should talk
to her about it maybe, or you just you ain't
worry about it.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
No, I ain't tripping off it because like it's shd
light on like women's basketball, Like you know what I'm saying,
Like that really just bridged a gap in the culture,
Like you know what I'm saying, Like it made women's
basketball and LSU basketball go to another level. But I
feel like nag, like you know what I'm saying. If
we was you know what I'm saying, it should have
been like that.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
But now y'all have y'all talked in before the video came.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Out, Yeah, like like you know what I'm saying here
and there, like like I did the remix to her song, she.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Was like, what is fire? Like you know what I'm saying.
So y'all do communicate?

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah, yeah, like you know here and there like DM so, Yeah,
she hit me. She told me it was fire. You
know what I'm saying. I wish it could have him
with it.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Then y'all do a song together. Yeah, that's how y'all
make up for that. Yeah, you just make you just
make up. But y'all doing the record together. I've been
seeing the Streeters X change. Yeah, you ain't wearing it today?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, are you signed the Streeters X.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
No, I'm not signed the Streeters X. But that's my
uncle company uncle moan our moan no l g ol,
that's my man actually my yeah. Yeah, actually my necklace broke,
my chain broke. That's why I ain't wearing it.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
But nah, that's my people could speculate that because I
see you wear it all the time. I was over here, like, oh,
she must be yeah the Streeters X or nah, he just
signed the street Ever since I was a little family, yes, family,
ever since I was little. He anything I needed, like
studio time. I haven't paid for studio time in years.
Like you know what I'm saying, Like I know when
I come to the city.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
You know what I'm saying. So I'm repping it.
