Speaker 2 (01:40):
Right? I'm curious like for you, man, like what has
changed for you? You know, just when I feel like
obviously you know you've had success Voll trial, it was
a moment a little baby getting on the remix was
a moment. You know, you've been doing your weekend in
New Orleans. But I feel like you're just like at
a different level now where it feels like now's about
(02:01):
the time people might start to get kind of weird
around you. You know what I'm saying, money start to
get bigger. Is there been anything that's changed.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I ain't gonna lie. I had that change already, like
probably like last year. Okay, probably like right the year
before last. And just you know what I'm saying, falling
out all type people or whatever like that. But I
think right now I'm so cleansed. Yeah, like I'm comfortable
cutting like anybody else. I don't care, Yeah, because I
know I'm such a good person now, Like you know
what I'm saying. It's it's just people take advantage of
(02:31):
if you let them. And I came to that understanding.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
What do you think I had to happen for you
to I kind of mentally get to that place for
You're like, man, I got to protect my peace first.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You just got to let people do what they do,
like you got to go through it because you will
never understand it. Yeah, Yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That's fair. Did anything change? I feel like, you know,
there is a big moment you being on your TOPI
it was like a turning point where like you were
opened up to like a whole lot of new fans.
Crazy record. I mean I've never see it being performed
live and be like damn, but like that moment specifically,
(03:09):
obviously everybody been fucking with you, but to be on
like one of the biggest albums the last few years, Like,
did you just notice like the fan base like getting crazy?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Definitely anymore. I definitely understand it was people like, yeah,
I met you from Tobyae. I'm like, what, like, you know,
not how long I've been up before that? Yeah, Czy,
I love it because it's a whole new demographic of
people that's going to listen to you. I don't care
if I take twenty fans from Travis, Like, I'm okay
with that, right, you know what I'm saying. It's more
(03:40):
than I have before.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Was tobya too in something that he brought to you
ors the record you already had, Like how what was
the dynamic recording that was it? Y'all? In the studio
recorded in La It was you had to kind of
be together to record that together.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, and he was just playing with his old album
he was telling him to get on there. He played
Hyena for me, he played so on him of the
week and he played everything for me, like play whatever
you want. And I heard Tobya twins and it's sounding
like it sounded like a mellow song, but like the
last ten seconds it was like he just switched it
up and went crazy. I'm like, tray, we put this
at the.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Beginning, yeah, like the end of that needs to be.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Needs to be the song. Yeah, and that's how we
made a twin man enough. It's just yeah because he
was you know, it's fun. I want hit the original
again because it was good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
We probably never hear the original unless it gets leaked
or something.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Right, I need to hit it original.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You just need to have it in your phone.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I probably never hit it, Like literally, I probably never
hear I can ask though, I want to ask.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Him, what the helly is a banger? Yeah? I love
at the end of You're just like you just be
saying like like you're like Lebron, what the helly?
Speaker 1 (04:43):

Speaker 2 (04:46):
It feels like one of the ones too, especially for
the club and like just some like real classic like
rob fotnine energy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's fun fun, you know what I'm saying, yeah, you
know what's funny when we was doing it, like the
end of it, like what the hell of bron Jane?
What the helly I came up with the helly brin Jane.
I was trying to line and see I didn't but
I did. But all man, all my partners in the studio,
there was like eight of us ship the boot was
probably like this small eight of us standing in the
boot were like they had a burden. I'm like, yeah,
(05:15):
see that that sounds good, Like we just coming up
with all different ones. So all of them come from
every one of my partners.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Like, yo, how uh dope has it been to curate
this weekend? You do ever your for your birthday in
your hometown. Like I've seen it grow over the last
few years. It's becoming like a real staple.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You know. It's funny. They own my ass because I
don't want to do it this year.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Your fans are on your ass with the city or
who the.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
City and everybody, because I don't want to do it
this year just because it's so much work and I
got so much more things to do.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I know your mom is like a big help too,
But like I'm sure she's dealing with a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Boy. She mad at me too, She's like, what you
talking about? You? But I don't know. I think right now,
I just need to be focused on my music, just
focused on just going hard for real instead of chasing
the bag like you know what I'm saying, not even
chasing it back, just just sitting down for a minute
and really having to promote and stuff. I ain't got
time for that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Apply yourself to the album, getting to finished, getting Yeah,
I really have to be on Its a lot of
band with to put that ship together. You had a
basketball game, it's a whole.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
If you got to make sure they're on these flights
for real, right, and you the only one could do that, right,
get on his flight to go to sleep. You don't
get right? His manager can tell them, Lizzy, get the
cough and Rob like, get up right. You feel me?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And I ain't got time with that obviously. I saw
you did a Louisiannfest, which is amazing considering I feel
like you're the most successful New Orleans rapper of the
last at least ten years. For sure, we can go
all the way back to cash money. I'm just trying
to think I might be forgetting some folks. But you know,
now that's literally since Little Wayne.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I know, I'm forget you didn't have nobody.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Like what's what's y'all conversations like when you meet Little
Wayne when y'all talk like obviously doing Louisiana for it's
a big deal, but like, I ain't really talk to
him like that. You guys haven't had like like like
that that convo yet? No?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Was it cool doing the festival though?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah? It was cool. I ain't even talk to him
that day.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Damn was that when he had the hot boys there?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, that's what was so lit though?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, seeing Wayne performed like his old songs was crazy
to me because I'm a real Wayne fan. He don't
even notice, right because I didn't get a chance to
tell him because you know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He seems like he's not the easiest guy to like
get in a room alone. So we got like, hey, man,
I just want to holler at you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I ain't even that type of person, right, but I mean, shit,
if you're going to be that type of person, but
anybody is Lil Wayne, you know, what I mean. No, no, no, no,
I think I'd be that type of person that, like,
I know who I wanna be that type of person
that The Weekend, The Weekend, I'm a fan of you, brother,
Like I'm screight sitting out the blue.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know what's crazy is I had two instances where
I got to meet the Weekend. The first time I
met him, he knew exactly who I was. He was like, hey,
I appreciate what you do. You're doing everything like good vibes.
And he's like, you're a lot taller than on camera,
and I'm like, damn you watch my ship. That ship crazy.
And then I just saw him at a at rolland
Loud and we were talking in this trailer for like
(08:09):
thirty minutes, such like the coolest dude ever, gonna lie man, Yeah,
he's the best Ocean Frank, you are you a Channel
Orange Frank Ocean fan or Blonde Brother. I've been on Frank,
but like, which album do you prefer? Because a lot
of fans are split.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I've been on Channel Orange, but I like Blonding more. Yeah,
here I've been. I've been on the Channel Orange, but
I like Blonding more. Yeah, it's just I don't know,
it's just blonde.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, it was like the Frank Ocean like had to
like grow on people. But people think it's better.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
For sure, people think it's better because I know why.
Channel Orange is like a more upbeat song. But blond
is something that you listen to when you're on the
plane and you're trying to go to sleep. You know
what I'm saying, Like it's a it's it's a real
what is called when you meditation song? Yeah, and that's
that's a difference between it.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's crazy that your music is so turned but you
love Frank Ocean. I don't think most people.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Will listen to Honestly, I listened to Scissor. I listened
to No Rock. I'll show you my playlist.

Shout out the Scissor. She's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Diamond Boy, it's crazy that's on Diamond Fire even I
was on it before that, Like, I really feel like
she should have dropped another, like just full album.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I feel like kind of that's what it was. It
was two years later, it was we got a whole new.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Artwork, but it wasn't doing You should have just separated
right made Diamond bought it insure like.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's like the SOS Deluxe, but it has its own
name Atlana. It's like it's like it's it's it's it's
about as much of its own thing as it can
be without it being its own thing.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And themselves look crazy going Michael Jackson sales right now.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh yeah, that's his albums ended up Diamond for sure.
Between the two.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Theob that was going for, that's what they was going for.
The Diamond.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, plus the stadium tours coming. It's like, you know,
they had to put out something something because that's a
West she already tore. That's so Wes, you know what
I'm saying. So did you like gn X Kendrick's album?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah? Hell yeah, my brother real big fan of Kendrick. Yeah,
so great album. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I think I had the most like replay of any
of his albums because it was just like he was
going for like bangers. He was like, yo, man, a
lot of people, a lot of people don't think I
could do this ship, but it's like a whole album
of ship.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
You know what I like the most about it? I
like that he like he won the studio. He not
trying to be lyrical in that, like, I'm about to
show you I can have fun with this, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And make it that though, yep, And and put some
ship in there. But make it that though, because he's
done all the lyrical ship. Uh huh. Yeah, that was crazy.
Yeah that song uh reincarnated as wild though that hey,
because he gave you some ship like Gloria is literally
the whole song about his pen. That song Gloria was
the ultro. It's the whole record, is him rapping a
boy his pen prominent.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's crazy. You know how deep you gotta be in
your thust even I ain't even about to get that
deep with y'all on here.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Do you feel like you could ever like sit down
and be like, yea, I'm gonna do a whole concept
album or concept.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I was thinking about doing it. I was thinking about
doing it. I was gonna call it I submit or
something like that, I submit, but really getting it. You
ever heard that Andre Drew thousand and Kanye song.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Of course, one of Andre's best versus ever.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
The best brother. Oh my god, my dog. Yeah, that's
why that's why I kept my dog that's probably his
I ain't gonna.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Say it's one of the deepest verses.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's one of the deepest verses I heard of my life.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, I remember the first time I heard that ship.
I was damn here, like because I'm a big outcast fan,
I got equipment right there. Uh, that shit gave me goosebumps.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'd be feeling lame when I gotta like, man, did
you hear what he said? Like listen, you're trying to
see I'm feeling lame because why you don't get this,
Like but you ain't been through you don't understand it
because it's so like I don't know, man, he got
deepest hell.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, I just feel like we just need more more
of that ship dog ship for sure. I mean, it's
fun to have fun. That's one thing I appreciate about
your records be fun too, though, like because that's also
something we're missing, Like what's Happening to Baby is a
fun song? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, Like that's what I'm on, dude. We definitely missing
like stuff that's like just I do what I want,
Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, I feel like Vulture Island was like the kind
of song you would like tear a club up to
and then like, what's happening to baby? In this What
the helly is like a song that you have fun
in the club?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
For sure?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Work on a bitch, you know what I'm saying It
What was happening baby? You know what I'm saying? Or
have her work on you rather? But you say the bitch, No,
have her to work on you rather. That's what I
meant to say. I'm not working on a bit that's
not happening. That is not happening, And it would be
my wife who's working on me clearly, clearly? What what's
(12:52):
We're talking a little bit. I know you got some investments.
You said you got to a lounge in New Orleans? Yeah?
Are you? Are you being pretty smart with your bread?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You know, I think I am. My mama helped me
a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's important to have your mom close, Liken, bro.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's so important. I'm not gonna lie. I think my mama,
I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes I'd be thinking
like but I think if she wasn't around it, it'll be
like I had to be living like a young nigga's
been at my man. But she tell me like listen, like,
and I'd be having to tell her sometimes like this
should have died to day, like be very mindful of
(13:26):
how we handle it, you know what I'm saying. But
she'd be on it. We got houses. She didn't bought
a lot of houses.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And stuff like you guys got a lot of real estate.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I feel like the real estate market out there too
is probably pretty cheap. Like you probably could come up
like well in New Orleans. I only got two houses
in the US, so you're just buying houses all over.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, I got I just bought a house in Houston.
I bought a house in Atlanta. My house in Atlanta's
gonna be like a matching studio house.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is that gonna be like home? They just somewhere where
you could be like, Y'm gonna work on an album.
I'm gonna go to go to Atlanta house everybody lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And it's a real it's a real business house because LLC.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Out Like, I just bought my first investment property in
my LLC name, first one. So I'm like.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You want me tell you something just to just to
sell somebody give you those sauce naked a studio, recording studio,
and deck it out, deck it out to what niggas
like me won't come.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I don't know what that means. I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm just saying like like like niggas is just like
you know what I'm saying, like bigger niggas, like right,
they got budgets right?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh and then yeah, well then and then and then
you don't Yeah, yeah, for sure, I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I got studios here though, That's what I'm saying. Like,
and so I about the house. I about the house
of an investment property for my parents to live in.
So my parents are just gonna pay the mortgage. So
whatever the mortgage is, my parents are gonna pay, which
isn't much. And then you know, the equity is just
gonna grow for uh. The new album is gonna be
called let Me Fly.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, explain, man, I'm just doing some ship like what
the hell is wanted? Like my first singles from the album. Yeah,
and it actually is doing with what let Me flyes about.
It's just like, man, I won't show you that I
ain't dropping two years like last year. I want to
last year. I went on to run that you just
(15:16):
said a run now didn't drop new music. She was
on a run feature run.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Right, Yeah, he was on everything.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So I'm like, I'll be feeling played with, like you
feel what I'm saying, Like I understand Rob can't rap
for whatever you think, but you can't never say I
ain't who I am.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We've also improved a ton, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I feel like I don't even hear that yet. You
didn't even hear it yet. That's the funny part.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Like noah, but I feel like even when I because
I don't think people understand you. I've been rapping that long,
not for sure, so it's like you're like improving in
real time.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I've been rapping like four years now, which is fucking crazy,
and I've been dropping two years, right, which is wild. Yeah,
oh yeah that is well. Now I think about it,
you heard me two years then to actually making my
first song, right, But now I think I think let
Me Fly is like man like give me my chance.
It's just my chance. And now I'm about to show
you like I'm not to be played with like one percent,
(16:04):
and I'm not taking note breaks. I'm not taking two
years of dropping out. I'm dropping four albums twenty twenty five,
four albums twenty twenty six, coming back three, Like I'm
not playing. I don't want to play no more.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Do you already have everything? Kind of like in the chamber,
like not for sure? Yeah, I'm even working.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
So I got all my moves. Just set out like this,
i'ma do this, this home to do this. Take over
the screechs, take over the rock star laying, take over
the R and B laying, and you just just punish
the whole world. Is uh?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Is the album done?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It's andy. Can you give us one feature? And they're
not gonna gi us all them give us one on
the album I got.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I got a lot of features from people that's hot
right now, like big, But my favorite feature is like
probably for Meek, just because I always in my life
wanted the Meek song. Of course you feel what I'm saying.
I feel like y'all two on a record together got
me crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It might be a lot of yelling.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
It was. It's a lot of yelling, you know what
I'm funny. I was like, I told him, I called him,
I'm like better. I didn't got to do more songs
because they gonna be getting on ours about all this
was gonna go viral.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
You would make me on a song together, very loud.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Like damn, damn. I literally said that, but I'm like,
that's that's why, that's why we.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Makes a legend, past legend. Yeah for sure. He up there, dog.
Were you guys in the studio together? Did you said?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
We was in the studio. He played it for me
because he told me, was like, man, there want to
be something getting on. I look up around for nine
type beats all day and he actually showed me and
he's like, man, I did this one to day and it.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Was on a rock for night type beat. It was
on YouTube, yeah, which is funny. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, So we had wound up getting a beat off
YouTube and he had already did it and we ain't
even make no song when we ain't did no song.
When I had went to his house that day, but
I called him, he said he called me for my birthday, real, nigga.
He called for my birthday, Like, look at your phone open,
He like, have a birthday and that's the song that
I wanted.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So that was when he had played you when you
fuck with it? Yeah, and he's like, yo for your birthday. Hey,

bless me.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Do you you do a lot of YouTube type beats?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Like no type beats?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Honestly, I feel like a lot of artists like they,
but like, y you pull that sh up on YouTube.
It's a it's a it's a Roddy Rich type beat
or something, And I'm like, I wonder how you like
like the business side of that, like you have you
got to DM the guy on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Post some music who made this beat? I'm not playing
like that no more. I don't want to do that. Yeah.
I already just put like my friends on and make
my friends make beats. Now they got half my album.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I'm curious that a dude from New Orleans when you
heard uh jell O's tweaker, Yeah, it's very much like

stock ish. Has there been anything wild that's happened where
you're like fucking trips to the hotel room. Maybe there's
like ten fans in the lobby or something, or.

my chuck, Damn, I was like, no way these girls
run behind my chuck, No way.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Right? I'm curious like for you, man, like what has
changed for you? You know, just when I feel like
obviously you know you've had success Voll trial, it was
a moment a little baby getting on the remix was
a moment. You know, you've been doing your weekend in
New Orleans. But I feel like you're just like at
a different level now where it feels like now's about
(02:01):
the time people might start to get kind of weird
around you. You know what I'm saying, money start to
get bigger. Is there been anything that's changed.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I ain't gonna lie. I had that change already, like
probably like last year. Okay, probably like right the year
before last. And just you know what I'm saying, falling
out all type people or whatever like that. But I
think right now I'm so cleansed. Yeah, like I'm comfortable
cutting like anybody else. I don't care, Yeah, because I
know I'm such a good person now, Like you know
what I'm saying. It's it's just people take advantage of
(02:31):
if you let them. And I came to that understanding.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
What do you think I had to happen for you
to I kind of mentally get to that place for
You're like, man, I got to protect my peace first.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You just got to let people do what they do,
like you got to go through it because you will
never understand it. Yeah, Yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That's fair. Did anything change? I feel like, you know,
there is a big moment you being on your TOPI
it was like a turning point where like you were
opened up to like a whole lot of new fans.
Crazy record. I mean I've never see it being performed
live and be like damn, but like that moment specifically,
(03:09):
obviously everybody been fucking with you, but to be on
like one of the biggest albums the last few years, Like,
did you just notice like the fan base like getting crazy?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Definitely anymore. I definitely understand it was people like, yeah,
I met you from Tobyae. I'm like, what, like, you know,
not how long I've been up before that? Yeah, Czy,
I love it because it's a whole new demographic of
people that's going to listen to you. I don't care
if I take twenty fans from Travis, Like, I'm okay
with that, right, you know what I'm saying. It's more
(03:40):
than I have before.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Was tobya too in something that he brought to you
ors the record you already had, Like how what was
the dynamic recording that was it? Y'all? In the studio
recorded in La It was you had to kind of
be together to record that together.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, and he was just playing with his old album
he was telling him to get on there. He played
Hyena for me, he played so on him of the
week and he played everything for me, like play whatever
you want. And I heard Tobya twins and it's sounding
like it sounded like a mellow song, but like the
last ten seconds it was like he just switched it
up and went crazy. I'm like, tray, we put this
at the.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Beginning, yeah, like the end of that needs to be.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Needs to be the song. Yeah, and that's how we
made a twin man enough. It's just yeah because he
was you know, it's fun. I want hit the original
again because it was good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
We probably never hear the original unless it gets leaked
or something.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Right, I need to hit it original.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You just need to have it in your phone.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I probably never hit it, Like literally, I probably never
hear I can ask though, I want to ask.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Him, what the helly is a banger? Yeah? I love
at the end of You're just like you just be
saying like like you're like Lebron, what the helly?
Speaker 1 (04:43):

It feels like one of the ones too, especially for
the club and like just some like real classic like
rob fotnine energy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's fun fun, you know what I'm saying, yeah, you
know what's funny when we was doing it, like the
end of it, like what the hell of bron Jane?
What the helly I came up with the helly brin Jane.
I was trying to line and see I didn't but
I did. But all man, all my partners in the studio,
there was like eight of us ship the boot was
probably like this small eight of us standing in the
boot were like they had a burden. I'm like, yeah,
(05:15):
see that that sounds good, Like we just coming up
with all different ones. So all of them come from
every one of my partners.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Like, yo, how uh dope has it been to curate
this weekend? You do ever your for your birthday in
your hometown. Like I've seen it grow over the last
few years. It's becoming like a real staple.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You know. It's funny. They own my ass because I
don't want to do it this year.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Your fans are on your ass with the city or
who the.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
City and everybody, because I don't want to do it
this year just because it's so much work and I
got so much more things to do.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I know your mom is like a big help too,
But like I'm sure she's dealing with a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Boy. She mad at me too, She's like, what you
talking about? You? But I don't know. I think right now,
I just need to be focused on my music, just
focused on just going hard for real instead of chasing
the bag like you know what I'm saying, not even
chasing it back, just just sitting down for a minute
and really having to promote and stuff. I ain't got
time for that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Apply yourself to the album, getting to finished, getting Yeah,
I really have to be on Its a lot of
band with to put that ship together. You had a
basketball game, it's a whole.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
If you got to make sure they're on these flights
for real, right, and you the only one could do that, right,
get on his flight to go to sleep. You don't
get right? His manager can tell them, Lizzy, get the
cough and Rob like, get up right. You feel me?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And I ain't got time with that obviously. I saw
you did a Louisiannfest, which is amazing considering I feel
like you're the most successful New Orleans rapper of the
last at least ten years. For sure, we can go
all the way back to cash money. I'm just trying
to think I might be forgetting some folks. But you know,
now that's literally since Little Wayne.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I know, I'm forget you didn't have nobody.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Like what's what's y'all conversations like when you meet Little
Wayne when y'all talk like obviously doing Louisiana for it's
a big deal, but like, I ain't really talk to
him like that. You guys haven't had like like like
that that convo yet? No?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Was it cool doing the festival though?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah? It was cool. I ain't even talk to him
that day.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Damn was that when he had the hot boys there?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, that's what was so lit though?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, seeing Wayne performed like his old songs was crazy
to me because I'm a real Wayne fan. He don't
even notice, right because I didn't get a chance to
tell him because you know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He seems like he's not the easiest guy to like
get in a room alone. So we got like, hey, man,
I just want to holler at you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I ain't even that type of person, right, but I mean, shit,
if you're going to be that type of person, but
anybody is Lil Wayne, you know, what I mean. No, no, no, no,
I think I'd be that type of person that, like,
I know who I wanna be that type of person
that The Weekend, The Weekend, I'm a fan of you, brother,
Like I'm screight sitting out the blue.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know what's crazy is I had two instances where
I got to meet the Weekend. The first time I
met him, he knew exactly who I was. He was like, hey,
I appreciate what you do. You're doing everything like good vibes.
And he's like, you're a lot taller than on camera,
and I'm like, damn you watch my ship. That ship crazy.
And then I just saw him at a at rolland
Loud and we were talking in this trailer for like
(08:09):
thirty minutes, such like the coolest dude ever, gonna lie man, Yeah,
he's the best Ocean Frank, you are you a Channel
Orange Frank Ocean fan or Blonde Brother. I've been on Frank,
but like, which album do you prefer? Because a lot
of fans are split.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I've been on Channel Orange, but I like Blonding more. Yeah,
here I've been. I've been on the Channel Orange, but
I like Blonding more. Yeah, it's just I don't know,
it's just blonde.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, it was like the Frank Ocean like had to
like grow on people. But people think it's better.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
For sure, people think it's better because I know why.
Channel Orange is like a more upbeat song. But blond
is something that you listen to when you're on the
plane and you're trying to go to sleep. You know
what I'm saying, Like it's a it's it's a real
what is called when you meditation song? Yeah, and that's
that's a difference between it.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's crazy that your music is so turned but you
love Frank Ocean. I don't think most people.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Will listen to Honestly, I listened to Scissor. I listened
to No Rock. I'll show you my playlist.

she should have dropped another, like just full album.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I feel like kind of that's what it was. It
was two years later, it was we got a whole new.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Artwork, but it wasn't doing You should have just separated
right made Diamond bought it insure like.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's like the SOS Deluxe, but it has its own
name Atlana. It's like it's like it's it's it's it's
about as much of its own thing as it can
be without it being its own thing.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And themselves look crazy going Michael Jackson sales right now.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh yeah, that's his albums ended up Diamond for sure.

of his albums because it was just like he was
going for like bangers. He was like, yo, man, a
lot of people, a lot of people don't think I
could do this ship, but it's like a whole album
of ship.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
You know what I like the most about it? I
like that he like he won the studio. He not
trying to be lyrical in that, like, I'm about to
show you I can have fun with this, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And make it that though, yep, And and put some
ship in there. But make it that though, because he's
done all the lyrical ship. Uh huh. Yeah, that was crazy.
Yeah that song uh reincarnated as wild though that hey,
because he gave you some ship like Gloria is literally
the whole song about his pen. That song Gloria was
the ultro. It's the whole record, is him rapping a
boy his pen prominent.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's crazy. You know how deep you gotta be in
your thust even I ain't even about to get that
deep with y'all on here.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Do you feel like you could ever like sit down
and be like, yea, I'm gonna do a whole concept
album or concept.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, I remember the first time I heard that ship.
I was damn here, like because I'm a big outcast fan,
I got equipment right there. Uh, that shit gave me goosebumps.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'd be feeling lame when I gotta like, man, did

see I'm feeling lame because why you don't get this,
Like but you ain't been through you don't understand it
because it's so like I don't know, man, he got
deepest hell.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, I just feel like we just need more more
of that ship dog ship for sure. I mean, it's
fun to have fun. That's one thing I appreciate about
your records be fun too, though, like because that's also
something we're missing, Like what's Happening to Baby is a
fun song? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, Like that's what I'm on, dude. We definitely missing
like stuff that's like just I do what I want,
Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, I feel like Vulture Island was like the kind
of song you would like tear a club up to
and then like, what's happening to baby? In this What
the helly is like a song that you have fun
in the club?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
For sure?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Work on a bitch, you know what I'm saying It
What was happening baby? You know what I'm saying? Or
have her work on you rather? But you say the bitch, No,
have her to work on you rather. That's what I
meant to say. I'm not working on a bit that's
not happening. That is not happening, And it would be
my wife who's working on me clearly, clearly? What what's
(12:52):
We're talking a little bit. I know you got some investments.
You said you got to a lounge in New Orleans? Yeah?
Are you? Are you being pretty smart with your bread?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You know, I think I am. My mama helped me
a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's important to have your mom close, Liken, bro.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's so important. I'm not gonna lie. I think my mama,
I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes I'd be thinking
like but I think if she wasn't around it, it'll be
like I had to be living like a young nigga's
been at my man. But she tell me like listen, like,
and I'd be having to tell her sometimes like this
should have died to day, like be very mindful of
(13:26):
how we handle it, you know what I'm saying. But
she'd be on it. We got houses. She didn't bought
a lot of houses.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And stuff like you guys got a lot of real estate.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I feel like the real estate market out there too
is probably pretty cheap. Like you probably could come up
like well in New Orleans. I only got two houses
in the US, so you're just buying houses all over.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, I got I just bought a house in Houston.
I bought a house in Atlanta. My house in Atlanta's
gonna be like a matching studio house.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is that gonna be like home? They just somewhere where
you could be like, Y'm gonna work on an album.
I'm gonna go to go to Atlanta house everybody lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And it's a real it's a real business house because LLC.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Out Like, I just bought my first investment property in
my LLC name, first one. So I'm like.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You want me tell you something just to just to
sell somebody give you those sauce naked a studio, recording studio,
and deck it out, deck it out to what niggas
like me won't come.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I don't know what that means. I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm just saying like like like niggas is just like
you know what I'm saying, like bigger niggas, like right,
they got budgets right?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh and then yeah, well then and then and then
you don't Yeah, yeah, for sure, I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I got studios here though, That's what I'm saying. Like,
and so I about the house. I about the house
of an investment property for my parents to live in.
So my parents are just gonna pay the mortgage. So
whatever the mortgage is, my parents are gonna pay, which
isn't much. And then you know, the equity is just
gonna grow for uh. The new album is gonna be
called let Me Fly.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, explain, man, I'm just doing some ship like what
the hell is wanted? Like my first singles from the album. Yeah,
and it actually is doing with what let Me flyes about.
It's just like, man, I won't show you that I
ain't dropping two years like last year. I want to
last year. I went on to run that you just
(15:16):
said a run now didn't drop new music. She was
on a run feature run.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Right, Yeah, he was on everything.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So I'm like, I'll be feeling played with, like you
feel what I'm saying, Like I understand Rob can't rap
for whatever you think, but you can't never say I
ain't who I am.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We've also improved a ton, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I feel like I don't even hear that yet. You
didn't even hear it yet. That's the funny part.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Like noah, but I feel like even when I because
I don't think people understand you. I've been rapping that long,
not for sure, so it's like you're like improving in
real time.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I've been rapping like four years now, which is fucking crazy,
and I've been dropping two years, right, which is wild. Yeah,
oh yeah that is well. Now I think about it,
you heard me two years then to actually making my
first song, right, But now I think I think let
Me Fly is like man like give me my chance.
It's just my chance. And now I'm about to show
you like I'm not to be played with like one percent,
(16:04):
and I'm not taking note breaks. I'm not taking two
years of dropping out. I'm dropping four albums twenty twenty five,
four albums twenty twenty six, coming back three, Like I'm
not playing. I don't want to play no more.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Do you already have everything? Kind of like in the chamber,
like not for sure? Yeah, I'm even working.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
So I got all my moves. Just set out like this,
i'ma do this, this home to do this. Take over
the screechs, take over the rock star laying, take over
the R and B laying, and you just just punish
the whole world. Is uh?

not gonna gi us all them give us one on
the album I got.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I got a lot of features from people that's hot
right now, like big, But my favorite feature is like
probably for Meek, just because I always in my life
wanted the Meek song. Of course you feel what I'm saying.
I feel like y'all two on a record together got
me crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It might be a lot of yelling.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
It was. It's a lot of yelling, you know what
I'm funny. I was like, I told him, I called him,
I'm like better. I didn't got to do more songs
because they gonna be getting on ours about all this

an old school cash to get on fron of. I'm
just curious because that's when I heard that, I was like,
