Yeah, I like to because I got a lot of UH.
When I first started making music, I was I ain't
gonna lie. I was younger, so I was trying to
do what everybody else was doing, and bitches and holes
and all that shit. But then when I they like, bro,
you should tell you've been through some shit. You should
tell them like PC of your story, but I'm like,
I don't want that to fall on deaf ears. I
(05:33):
could talk about bitches and holes all day, that's easy,
But then I put out a record talking about some
real shit. So getting the d ms from that song,
fire that beat hard and then getting the d M saying, bro,
this song saved my life. Like I wake up every
day listening to this ship to get my day started.

I get all kind of dms now, like they touched
from the heart, Yeah, from the heart versus just you know,
that's a dope beat, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, that's that's like what a lot of artists, you know,
you would like a song, but you really like.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The song for the beat.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, And I like artists that have people that buy
into you. Yeah, not just the song. I want to hear.
I want to hear more of you because I want
to hear you grow.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We'll be right back with more of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You're listening to a special edition of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's your boy ya Lee, and you're now tuned in
to the Baller Alert Show. Where'd your name come from? Yah?
My sister, you know my family, that's your nickname? Really
my real name. I ain't gonna lie, but yeah, so
sensitive my teachers. So this is yeah, yah ya ya, Yeah,
my nickname, y'all Lee? My name, yeah, y'all leave is
your real name. Nah. It ain't on my driver's license,
(07:02):
but my whole life, that's what I've been called. Nobody
calls me my government name except when I get pulled over.
But yeah, man, I just wanted to make music that.
Like I said, that turn up ship is like a wave.
Waves crash. That ship that I do now is like
a lane. Like lanes don't crash, they go on and
then they branch off, you know what I'm saying. So
(07:24):
I'm trying to be a lane and not a wave.
What made you want to become an artist? My mom
a gospel singer. My dad rap in the day before
he got locked up. So my mom had like a
basketball scholarship, and then my dad had a football scholarship.
So my senior year in high school, I could have
played football, basketball in college somewhere, but I chose music
(07:45):
again I was young, and then you turned down the scholarship,
uh scholarship for football, but more like financial aid D
two basketball. But what I'm saying is like the high
school I went to, I thought it was going to
be like that in college. I didn't know, Like the
best didn't play at my high school. The the cafeteria
(08:07):
lady's son played because that's the cafeteria lady's son. And
we lost games because this this motherfucker, he asked, but
she you know.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then it Dayton.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, I'm not no Dayton, hard body and sports, you
know what I'm saying. But I'm saying, like certain schools
you go to politics. You know what I mean, because
my mom took me out the hood, put me in
an all white school for a couple of years. So
so you're like, why is he Yeah, why is he
playing over my nigga?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Right all?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Every time he get in, he forced a fumble, he
get an interception. Every time he get in, he forced
a fumble, get an interception. But buddy over here is
getting cooked every time. But he to train her son.
So I'm like, bro, if college is about to be
like that, nigga, I ain't about to go to like what.
I don't even like school anyways, and then I gotta
sit back and hope one you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But you went from one part politic to the next
because the industry politics is way crazier.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, I disagree.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It depends on what type of music, what type of
message you put out, because can't nobody tell me when
I can get in a game and when I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But also, do you feel like it's how far you
want to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Go at the end of the day. I feel like.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
If you can, if your music is hitting people here,
you're gonna keep to me, You're gonna keep climbing like
I pray a lot if you really listen to my music.
So God been opening up mad doors, like I really like,
not just got a message, but I'm really a foot
on ground type niggas. So if when I pull up
and do a meet and greet at a school, you
(09:39):
can look, you know it's two hundred three hundred kids
popping out. I got white moms DM and me telling
me the twelve year old white daughter missed out because
they took him out of school sick. What school you
pulling up to next because I want my daughter to
want to hoodie or autograph.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So it's like, wow, you know that's dope. And I'm from.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Ohioa segregated where, like a black kid in a white neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You you know what I mean, It's still like that.
Hell yeah, Sundowntown's remember one of Georgia.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
The sundowntown is what is over there when when the
sun go down and you and I we can't be around.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That area, be outside.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, Sundowntown.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Look at watch a Lovecraft Country. They have an episode
about sundown, very scary.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's very white.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
White's only water fountain still, but you can drink from it,
but it's you and the wrong you know what I mean?
Like they don't, they don't, they don't, Yeah, they don't play.
And then when the George Floyd shit happened, all the protests,
So I was back home during that, and we had
a lot of white people, older white people speaking up like, look,
I've been wanting to say something. The deed on my
(10:47):
house say, I can sell my house to anybody.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But a colored person. Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So if if I if I got to live in
that city, to go to a good school, but you
can't sell your house to us.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
How to hell?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
We gonna you get what I'm saying. So really that
systemic shit really go hard back, you know, back there
in certain areas.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Hey, so love Lebron.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Do you think do you think that all the stuff
that you had to deal with effects and is the
reason why you are so articulate with your music?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I watch my pastor get murdered at eight years old
in church after Bible class.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That's had eight.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I watched two of my friends get murdered in front
of me before high school. I'm talking blood on my shoes.
You'll see it in in a short film. I kind
of try to portray it how it happened. So a
nigga really grew up, like part of my brain grew
up fast. Like man, you play video games, you see
guns kill people, but yes, cool, or you watch it
(11:45):
on TV. But when that shit happened in front of
you too many times, you know what I'm saying, it
it hits you different. So you like you know, you
look at life different, you move different, You don't go certain,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like you don't play you ple playing a fire, You're
gonna get burnt.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
That's why when I really be meeting some of these artists,
they be talking to shit on their records.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Like, Bro, you ain't really been through no shit.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You've probably been in a situation that had your adrenaline going,
but you ain't really being this close, you know what
I'm saying, Like, you ain't been this close enough to
be like, we do this shit to get away from
this shit, not to stay in it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You feel me?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So, how are you mentally? How do you deal with
living every day?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Shit?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Nigga?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I probably need therapy. The fourth song on the project
called mental health. But at the end of the day,
like that shit really affect your sleep at night, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Like PTSD. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I ain't know what PTSD was my whole life until
it became a thing. It's just something that I've been
dealing with. So if that's what it is, that's what
it is.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Is the music your therapy?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Hell yeah, okay, the response, the response from the music
is my therapy.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But as far as getting a professional to help you
and guide you through you know, your or your thoughts
and the things that you made, you know, with all
the things that you've been through, are you open to
seeking that type of help.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I know therapy can help me, it's just it's just
hard for me in my mind. I'm gonna try it
one day, please do. But it's hard for me in
my mind to pay somebody that don't understand all the
shit I've been through. Powert on top because after making
it out of Ohio, I had to live out of
(13:33):
my car when it hit rock bottom a couple of times,
living in a room with no windows. So it's like
my grandma was murdered while I was living out of
my car. I didn't get to make that funeral. So
at the end of the day, it's like it's a
lot of shit piled up, and it's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
It's for me. It's hard to.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Just talk to somebody and really believe that they gonna
understand what I'm going through when they ain't been through
nothing of this shit that I've been through or I
had to deal with.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You feel me, I think you'd be surprised if you
just like you're open to it and the followed show
with it, and just if it doesn't work with the
first one, there's many others, and just finding the one
that is best fitting for you. I just think that
the idea that you're open to it is a step.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, that is a step. Yeah, and yeah, go get therapy.
If you're listening, we'll be right back. Stay tuned with
more of The Baller Alert Show. You're listening to a
special edition of The Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Let's talk about this music. So I was looking at
these videos. It's four or five parts for four part chapters,
four chapters, and it's a summary of kind of what
you've been dealing with your life. Yeah, just so you know,
who's this kid that's rapping the lyrics on part one?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
That's a little bro. Shout out to twenty eight Suce

I was living in Irvington, that's like the worst part
of Jersey.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
The kid reached out to me in the DMS and
I saw him and his little friend rapping. But I'm like,
they just need a little help. So I did a
verse for him so he was cool, and then we
just followed each other. I never met him, and then
I moved to LA after the pandemic and his family
moved to LA. So I'm like, buddy, followed each other
on Instagram. I'm like, budd, hey been visiting La a lot.
(15:47):
He's like, nah, I live here. After I DM hi,

favor from you. He's like, yeah, nigga, you look you know,
and he young, like seventeen. Need you to play me

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I thought I did, but I was pulled to the
side and said, and this would hurt. Like you performed
the other day two weeks ago. You killed that shit.
Then the main act came out your show. Your part
of the show was more lit then they part of
(17:02):
the show. So their team is like.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
They don't want you to go on on the road,
like you gonna outshine the main.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Act if that's politics though, politics talk about Yeah, but
that shit really hurt, as as the culture as the music,
because I'm out there trying to outshine nobody. I'm there
trying to you're trying to do your thing, trying to
be me saying my message. You feel me because you know,
I asked the crowd because I got a song called
from my grandmother.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I miss you.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I feel like God didn't take away from me, the
world did so a lot of people. I said, Yo,
who in the crowd lost somebody that feel like God
didn't take them away, the world did. So this me
on stage just two hundred people, three hundred people. So
I'm like, who want to share? Because I shared my story.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
So he liked participation.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And then the next one, I'm thinking, somebody gonna say
I lost somebody nine years ago, so that shit hit me.
I can't even look dude in the eye because I'm like,
that's a different type of pain you feel me. And
then the next dude like, my friend overdosed on man

Speaker 2 (18:43):
But after the show, like I said, getting them DMS
type shit like bro, like you asking my friend that,
Like I'm like.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
You really, Yeah, You're gonna have fans for life. Really yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
So And I wasn't even doing it for that. I'm
doing it because I understand, like we all go through shit,
and we going through it, we feel like we're the
only ones on earth going through it. That's just human.
That's just how it be. But when you know somebody
else going through it too, the kind of give you, Like.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Just just hearing your story, man, like you really got
a crazy story, just you know, just just sitting and
having this quick conversation and stuff with you.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm like, man, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
But now it kind of explains everything with your music
and like just what type of person that you molded
into because you said like you was making the type
of music that you was talking about women and drugs
and stuff like this, and then.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Not drugs, but.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
The typical way staying on the couch, turn up bottles,
pop out.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yeah yeah, but yeah, just you know, now everything makes
a lot of sense now when I see what type
of artist you is, like your demeanor everything.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
How old are you?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Twenty seven seven?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, okay, I would add I would also say I
thought therapy was like for crazy folks, people you know,
ain't don't got it all. But I would like to just
share with you that therapy gave me clarity on a
lot of shit that I was dealing with. It gave
me clarity, and like my past relationships, I realized that
(20:12):
it wasn't them, it was me, and I was immature,
and you know, I wasn't ready for a commitment.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And trauma type shit. Yeah, it was like trauma.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Like I never saw a committed relationship growing up, so
like I was just reacting what I was, just acting
what I saw and what I thought was normal to me,
which wasn't to be faithful, so I really But it
wasn't until I spoke to somebody professionally to help me
unpack that shit that I realized, oh okay, and I
wasn't even ready because I was doing all this at
a young age and I'm over here like making I'm
(20:43):
making babies, and now I'm over here like with baby,
multiple baby mamas, and I'm just realizing, oh as I'm
as someone's helping me unpack this. This could have all
been prevented had I would have had some clarity in
my life. And I couldn't blame my dad because he's
a product of his environment. I couldn't really blame my mom.
You know, these are my parents are from the island,
(21:04):
so uh, success to them, And I close it out
by saying, success to them was a little different than
success to me, Like my dad having a job with
health benefits was success me. I wanted to follow my dreams.
But speaking to a therapist and a counselor helped me
navigate through all that shit, especially like I never really
my mom really really was with my mom like she
(21:26):
was like she worked a whole bunch of times. So
I was raised by my grandma a lot, so I
kind of gravitated more to my grandma. So like me
and my mom was like friends, you know what I'm saying. So,
but I needed someone to help me understand why me
and her had this type of relationship that we had
and why I gravitated to my grandma the way I did.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So it was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And I only wanted to share that with you because
I didn't think that I had nothing. You know, we
always just think, yeah, we all right, we're good, but
sometimes were not good, that's the fact.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
And we have to say I'm not good a lot
of times. We're not good. My sleeping. I already know
I ain't good, like you know what I mean. Yeah,
so I just wanted to sha.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Just try it though, like I want you to try
it soon because I think that will also make you
a lot.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think you're already dope. That's why you're here, bro.
I think with the right.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Level, I think it's going to it's gonna a lot
some other ship. So if we got anything from this interview, bro,
because I think you're dope and the content that you're
putting out is dope. And again I was telling them
my co workers, like I wanted to get you on
here before you blow up, because you're gonna blow up
for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's love. And I understand how this worked because you know,
we just know it just takes time. Bro. We gotta
be patient with your ship. But yeah, you're dope, Bro.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Trust everything takes time and a lot of you know,
a lot of people that's in your position. You know,
Ray can contest, Man, we've done see them, We're done see.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
A lot of youth. You'll be sitting right here. Then
he'd be like, damn you man. We interview him last year.
Now he's like he out of here. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
So, yeah, you know if saying yo, I believe in
this God, I'm like, I trust you because we can
name over a halfful of people that the same thing was,
like you see them now like damn this person is like.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
But like in in closing, what I'm gonna say is
when you were explaining your show and you have people emotional,
see those shows are people the shows that people remember.
That's why I think you're going to go far, because
it's one thing to go out there and just wrap
some ship. And then I appreciate y'all following me on
Instagram boom, but you shared an experience and you have people.
That's why your your followers and your engagement is a
(23:32):
lot more accurate.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
And yeah, there Core and you just continue water in
those seas, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And people always remember the way you make them feel.
People always remember how you make them feel. Whether it
be good or bad experience, they always remember it and
thank you for joining us. And before we get out
of here, we got a pep talk with Yi.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
My name ya LEI. Uh. The message I want to
leave is.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Hm, I feel like uh more, start to try to
become full of yourself. We put a negative connotation on
being full of yourself. I feel like a lot of
people aren't full of themselves enough where And it don't
mean no cocky or arrogant. But when you full of yourself,
(24:17):
can't nobody else tell you who you are? Or can't
nobody society can't steer you where they want to steer you.
And also I want to say, the man that invented
the light bulb didn't do it for money. He did
it because we needed light. The man that invented the
(24:38):
loaf of bread didn't do it for money. He did
it because we needed to he wanted to eat. So
create something eventual light bulb and just know every day
we wake up we walking around and using somebody else's idea.
So try to come up with something to invent you
feel me that's it.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I like the videos, the visuals it like I feel
like it like brings your lyrics to life.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, I like to because I got a lot of UH.
When I first started making music, I was I ain't
gonna lie. I was younger, so I was trying to
do what everybody else was doing, and bitches and holes
and all that shit. But then when I they like, bro,
you should tell you've been through some shit. You should
tell them like PC of your story, but I'm like,
I don't want that to fall on deaf ears. I
(05:33):
could talk about bitches and holes all day, that's easy,
But then I put out a record talking about some
real shit. So getting the d ms from that song,
fire that beat hard and then getting the d M saying, bro,
this song saved my life. Like I wake up every
day listening to this ship to get my day started.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And what song was this?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Uh Lamar Jackson Witness can't sleep. So it was like
which DM? Which DM?

Feel better? Like this one really feel better? You feel me?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Like like this nigga really just said you know, like
I get all kind of dms now, like they touched
from the heart, Yeah, from the heart versus just you know,
that's a dope beat, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, that's that's like what a lot of artists, you know,
you would like a song, but you really like.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The song for the beat.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, And I like artists that have people that buy
into you. Yeah, not just the song. I want to hear.
I want to hear more of you because I want
to hear you grow.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We'll be right back with more of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You're listening to a special edition of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's your boy ya Lee, and you're now tuned in
to the Baller Alert Show. Where'd your name come from? Yah?
My sister, you know my family, that's your nickname? Really
my real name. I ain't gonna lie, but yeah, so
sensitive my teachers. So this is yeah, yah ya ya, Yeah,
my nickname, y'all Lee? My name, yeah, y'all leave is
your real name. Nah. It ain't on my driver's license,
(07:02):
but my whole life, that's what I've been called. Nobody
calls me my government name except when I get pulled over.
But yeah, man, I just wanted to make music that.
Like I said, that turn up ship is like a wave.
Waves crash. That ship that I do now is like
a lane. Like lanes don't crash, they go on and
then they branch off, you know what I'm saying. So
(07:24):
I'm trying to be a lane and not a wave.
What made you want to become an artist? My mom
a gospel singer. My dad rap in the day before
he got locked up. So my mom had like a
basketball scholarship, and then my dad had a football scholarship.
So my senior year in high school, I could have
played football, basketball in college somewhere, but I chose music
(07:45):
again I was young, and then you turned down the scholarship,
uh scholarship for football, but more like financial aid D
two basketball. But what I'm saying is like the high
school I went to, I thought it was going to
be like that in college. I didn't know, Like the
best didn't play at my high school. The the cafeteria
(08:07):
lady's son played because that's the cafeteria lady's son. And
we lost games because this this motherfucker, he asked, but
she you know.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then it Dayton.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, I'm not no Dayton, hard body and sports, you
know what I'm saying. But I'm saying, like certain schools
you go to politics. You know what I mean, because
my mom took me out the hood, put me in
an all white school for a couple of years. So
so you're like, why is he Yeah, why is he
playing over my nigga?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Right all?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Every time he get in, he forced a fumble, he
get an interception. Every time he get in, he forced
a fumble, get an interception. But buddy over here is
getting cooked every time. But he to train her son.
So I'm like, bro, if college is about to be
like that, nigga, I ain't about to go to like what.
I don't even like school anyways, and then I gotta
sit back and hope one you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But you went from one part politic to the next
because the industry politics is way crazier.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, I disagree.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It depends on what type of music, what type of
message you put out, because can't nobody tell me when
I can get in a game and when I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But also, do you feel like it's how far you
want to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Go at the end of the day. I feel like.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
If you can, if your music is hitting people here,
you're gonna keep to me, You're gonna keep climbing like
I pray a lot if you really listen to my music.
So God been opening up mad doors, like I really like,
not just got a message, but I'm really a foot
on ground type niggas. So if when I pull up
and do a meet and greet at a school, you
(09:39):
can look, you know it's two hundred three hundred kids
popping out. I got white moms DM and me telling
me the twelve year old white daughter missed out because
they took him out of school sick. What school you
pulling up to next because I want my daughter to
want to hoodie or autograph.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So it's like, wow, you know that's dope. And I'm from.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Ohioa segregated where, like a black kid in a white neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You you know what I mean, It's still like that.
Hell yeah, Sundowntown's remember one of Georgia.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
The sundowntown is what is over there when when the
sun go down and you and I we can't be around.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That area, be outside.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, Sundowntown.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Look at watch a Lovecraft Country. They have an episode
about sundown, very scary.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's very white.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
White's only water fountain still, but you can drink from it,
but it's you and the wrong you know what I mean?
Like they don't, they don't, they don't, Yeah, they don't play.
And then when the George Floyd shit happened, all the protests,
So I was back home during that, and we had
a lot of white people, older white people speaking up like, look,
I've been wanting to say something. The deed on my
(10:47):
house say, I can sell my house to anybody.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But a colored person. Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So if if I if I got to live in
that city, to go to a good school, but you
can't sell your house to us.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
How to hell?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
We gonna you get what I'm saying. So really that
systemic shit really go hard back, you know, back there
in certain areas.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Hey, so love Lebron.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Do you think do you think that all the stuff
that you had to deal with effects and is the
reason why you are so articulate with your music?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I watch my pastor get murdered at eight years old
in church after Bible class.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That's had eight.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I watched two of my friends get murdered in front
of me before high school. I'm talking blood on my shoes.
You'll see it in in a short film. I kind
of try to portray it how it happened. So a
nigga really grew up, like part of my brain grew
up fast. Like man, you play video games, you see
guns kill people, but yes, cool, or you watch it
(11:45):
on TV. But when that shit happened in front of
you too many times, you know what I'm saying, it
it hits you different. So you like you know, you
look at life different, you move different, You don't go certain,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like you don't play you ple playing a fire, You're
gonna get burnt.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
That's why when I really be meeting some of these artists,
they be talking to shit on their records.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Like, Bro, you ain't really been through no shit.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You've probably been in a situation that had your adrenaline going,
but you ain't really being this close, you know what
I'm saying, Like, you ain't been this close enough to
be like, we do this shit to get away from
this shit, not to stay in it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You feel me?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So, how are you mentally? How do you deal with
living every day?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Shit?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Nigga?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I probably need therapy. The fourth song on the project
called mental health. But at the end of the day,
like that shit really affect your sleep at night, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Like PTSD. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I ain't know what PTSD was my whole life until
it became a thing. It's just something that I've been
dealing with. So if that's what it is, that's what
it is.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Is the music your therapy?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Hell yeah, okay, the response, the response from the music
is my therapy.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But as far as getting a professional to help you
and guide you through you know, your or your thoughts
and the things that you made, you know, with all
the things that you've been through, are you open to
seeking that type of help.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I know therapy can help me, it's just it's just
hard for me in my mind. I'm gonna try it
one day, please do. But it's hard for me in
my mind to pay somebody that don't understand all the
shit I've been through. Powert on top because after making
it out of Ohio, I had to live out of
(13:33):
my car when it hit rock bottom a couple of times,
living in a room with no windows. So it's like
my grandma was murdered while I was living out of
my car. I didn't get to make that funeral. So
at the end of the day, it's like it's a
lot of shit piled up, and it's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
It's for me. It's hard to.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Just talk to somebody and really believe that they gonna
understand what I'm going through when they ain't been through
nothing of this shit that I've been through or I
had to deal with.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You feel me, I think you'd be surprised if you
just like you're open to it and the followed show
with it, and just if it doesn't work with the
first one, there's many others, and just finding the one
that is best fitting for you. I just think that
the idea that you're open to it is a step.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, that is a step. Yeah, and yeah, go get therapy.
If you're listening, we'll be right back. Stay tuned with
more of The Baller Alert Show. You're listening to a
special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 3 (14:37):

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Independent as in is it your situation or yeah? Okay, yes, sir?
All right, So.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Let's talk about this music. So I was looking at
these videos. It's four or five parts for four part chapters,
four chapters, and it's a summary of kind of what
you've been dealing with your life. Yeah, just so you know,
who's this kid that's rapping the lyrics on part one?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
That's a little bro. Shout out to twenty eight Suce
you're real little bro.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Nah, okay, because he's wrapping great job I was in
when I was in Irvington, New Jersey. Shout out to Irvington,
shut out the Nork. Shout out to jerseys But when
I was living in Irvington, that's like the worst part
of Jersey.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
The kid reached out to me in the DMS and
I saw him and his little friend rapping. But I'm like,
they just need a little help. So I did a
verse for him so he was cool, and then we
just followed each other. I never met him, and then
I moved to LA after the pandemic and his family
moved to LA. So I'm like, buddy, followed each other
on Instagram. I'm like, budd, hey been visiting La a lot.
(15:47):
He's like, nah, I live here. After I DM hi,
I'm like where you live? He lived six minutes away. Wow,
that's crazy, right, So I'm like, brod, I need a
favor from you. He's like, yeah, nigga, you look you know,
and he young, like seventeen. Need you to play me
like ten years ago. I need you to learn these
lyrics like it's your song. So then that's why you
see the flashback between me and him, and he kind
(16:08):
of understand it because where he from.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
So now you're dope, bro.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I'm definitely you know you're here because we think you're
dope and definitely think that you have a future ahead
of you. Now, what's the plan though, Like, what's what's
your next situation like, what do you what you're planning
to do to do? What are you plan what are
you planning to do? I just can't wait to go
on tour. That's on your by yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Open I don't care who open up. I ain't gonna
say no names. But are you already y'at something in place? Nah?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I thought I did, but I was pulled to the
side and said, and this would hurt. Like you performed
the other day two weeks ago. You killed that shit.
Then the main act came out your show. Your part
of the show was more lit then they part of
(17:02):
the show. So their team is like.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
They don't want you to go on on the road,
like you gonna outshine the main.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Act if that's politics though, politics talk about Yeah, but
that shit really hurt, as as the culture as the music,
because I'm out there trying to outshine nobody. I'm there
trying to you're trying to do your thing, trying to
be me saying my message. You feel me because you know,
I asked the crowd because I got a song called
from my grandmother.
Speaker 3 (17:30):

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I feel like God didn't take away from me, the
world did so a lot of people. I said, Yo,
who in the crowd lost somebody that feel like God
didn't take them away, the world did. So this me
on stage just two hundred people, three hundred people. So
I'm like, who want to share? Because I shared my story.
So Buddy like he raised his hand. I'm like, what happened? Like,

Speaker 3 (18:11):
So he liked participation.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And then the next one, I'm thinking, somebody gonna say
I lost somebody nine years ago, so that shit hit me.
I can't even look dude in the eye because I'm like,
that's a different type of pain you feel me. And
then the next dude like, my friend overdosed on man
vetanah last week. So then I'm like, man, drop the song, bro,
so we shot out of his friend.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You dropped the song?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I performing the song, Buddy crying this dude crying, a
girl crying, and I'm like I can't look at them
because I'm a fuck around it, you know, I start
thinking about my grandma.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You feel me.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
But after the show, like I said, getting them DMS
type shit like bro, like you asking my friend that,
Like I'm like.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
You really, Yeah, You're gonna have fans for life. Really yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
So And I wasn't even doing it for that. I'm
doing it because I understand, like we all go through shit,
and we going through it, we feel like we're the
only ones on earth going through it. That's just human.
That's just how it be. But when you know somebody
else going through it too, the kind of give you, Like.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Just just hearing your story, man, like you really got
a crazy story, just you know, just just sitting and
having this quick conversation and stuff with you.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm like, man, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
But now it kind of explains everything with your music
and like just what type of person that you molded
into because you said like you was making the type
of music that you was talking about women and drugs
and stuff like this, and then.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Not drugs, but.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
The typical way staying on the couch, turn up bottles,
pop out.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yeah yeah, but yeah, just you know, now everything makes
a lot of sense now when I see what type
of artist you is, like your demeanor everything.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
How old are you?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Twenty seven seven?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, okay, I would add I would also say I
thought therapy was like for crazy folks, people you know,
ain't don't got it all. But I would like to just
share with you that therapy gave me clarity on a
lot of shit that I was dealing with. It gave
me clarity, and like my past relationships, I realized that
(20:12):
it wasn't them, it was me, and I was immature,
and you know, I wasn't ready for a commitment.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And trauma type shit. Yeah, it was like trauma.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Like I never saw a committed relationship growing up, so
like I was just reacting what I was, just acting
what I saw and what I thought was normal to me,
which wasn't to be faithful, so I really But it
wasn't until I spoke to somebody professionally to help me
unpack that shit that I realized, oh okay, and I
wasn't even ready because I was doing all this at
a young age and I'm over here like making I'm
(20:43):
making babies, and now I'm over here like with baby,
multiple baby mamas, and I'm just realizing, oh as I'm
as someone's helping me unpack this. This could have all
been prevented had I would have had some clarity in
my life. And I couldn't blame my dad because he's
a product of his environment. I couldn't really blame my mom.
You know, these are my parents are from the island,
(21:04):
so uh, success to them, And I close it out
by saying, success to them was a little different than
success to me, Like my dad having a job with
health benefits was success me. I wanted to follow my dreams.
But speaking to a therapist and a counselor helped me
navigate through all that shit, especially like I never really
my mom really really was with my mom like she
(21:26):
was like she worked a whole bunch of times. So
I was raised by my grandma a lot, so I
kind of gravitated more to my grandma. So like me
and my mom was like friends, you know what I'm saying. So,
but I needed someone to help me understand why me
and her had this type of relationship that we had
and why I gravitated to my grandma the way I did.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So it was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And I only wanted to share that with you because
I didn't think that I had nothing. You know, we
always just think, yeah, we all right, we're good, but
sometimes were not good, that's the fact.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
And we have to say I'm not good a lot
of times. We're not good. My sleeping. I already know
I ain't good, like you know what I mean. Yeah,
so I just wanted to sha.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Just try it though, like I want you to try
it soon because I think that will also make you
a lot.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think you're already dope. That's why you're here, bro.
I think with the right.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Level, I think it's going to it's gonna a lot
some other ship. So if we got anything from this interview, bro,
because I think you're dope and the content that you're
putting out is dope. And again I was telling them
my co workers, like I wanted to get you on
here before you blow up, because you're gonna blow up
for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's love. And I understand how this worked because you know,
we just know it just takes time. Bro. We gotta
be patient with your ship. But yeah, you're dope, Bro.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Trust everything takes time and a lot of you know,
a lot of people that's in your position. You know,
Ray can contest, Man, we've done see them, We're done see.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
A lot of youth. You'll be sitting right here. Then
he'd be like, damn you man. We interview him last year.
Now he's like he out of here. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
So, yeah, you know if saying yo, I believe in
this God, I'm like, I trust you because we can
name over a halfful of people that the same thing was,
like you see them now like damn this person is like.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
But like in in closing, what I'm gonna say is
when you were explaining your show and you have people emotional,
see those shows are people the shows that people remember.
That's why I think you're going to go far, because
it's one thing to go out there and just wrap
some ship. And then I appreciate y'all following me on
Instagram boom, but you shared an experience and you have people.
That's why your your followers and your engagement is a
(23:32):
lot more accurate.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
And yeah, there Core and you just continue water in
those seas, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And people always remember the way you make them feel.
People always remember how you make them feel. Whether it
be good or bad experience, they always remember it and
thank you for joining us. And before we get out
of here, we got a pep talk with Yi.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
My name ya LEI. Uh. The message I want to
leave is.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Hm, I feel like uh more, start to try to
become full of yourself. We put a negative connotation on
being full of yourself. I feel like a lot of
people aren't full of themselves enough where And it don't
mean no cocky or arrogant. But when you full of yourself,
(24:17):
can't nobody else tell you who you are? Or can't
nobody society can't steer you where they want to steer you.
And also I want to say, the man that invented
the light bulb didn't do it for money. He did
it because we needed light. The man that invented the
(24:38):
loaf of bread didn't do it for money. He did
it because we needed to he wanted to eat. So
create something eventual light bulb and just know every day
we wake up we walking around and using somebody else's idea.
So try to come up with something to invent you
feel me that's it.
