Speaker 2 (03:29):
Right? How do you twenty twenty? Oh you can't even
buy alcohol in it most places.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You're a child, yeah, but not child mentally.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
My son is nineteen. You are a child. I'm an
old man as old as me. It doesn't matter how
mentally ahead you are. You're a kid. So it's nice
to be say. Yeah, no, you're young for sure. What
so you said you've been rapping since you were like like,
how like how old were you when you started?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'd say fifteen? But I always been liking music.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Though, right, So what was like? Uh the inspiration?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Like you were just listening to music writing? Like what
made you want to get into making music.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
My father made music and he used to always play
his music when he'll drop me off at school. Oh
so he was a rapper and he wanted no rapper
cause he couldn't drop the music cause he would fighting
cases and he you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So, but he was just he had music that he made.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, he had music that he made and it was
actually hard. So it inspired me. Right, So I'm saying,
you know him with diamonds, you know, fast cards and
a lot of money, you know, big houses, all type
of stuff. So I'm like, I'm looking up to him,
and I seen he not lying in his rock. So
(04:54):
I wanted to rap like him. And then I finally
got the chance to sit down learn how to do
it when there and then when I did it, I
liked it, So I do. I wanted to keep pipping
the keyshit like I wanted to represent the key. You
know what I'm saying, my last name. You feel what
I'm saying. So that's why I say key.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like, So, your dad was getting money, but not necessarily
from hip hop. He was doing rappers more of like
a hobby.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
No, he ain't even he never dropped.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I'm saying as a hobby. Then yeah, it was a
hobby for.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
H Yeah, he did do any for fun, like yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, and this is in Atlanta, So like, was your
pops around any other artists in Atlanta at the time,
Like usually guys like that like have some homies that
are kind of on.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's something like that. Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Something like that. So are you you know coming up
in Atlanta? I feel like it used to be where
you had to kind of pop off through the strip
club circuit. But I feel like with the internet now
that's kind of gone away. Like it's helpful, right if
you catch one it, but it's not necessarily required.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Do you like care about getting your music played to
like Magic City these days? Is that like a thing
you give a fuck about?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Because me partially that's not the music I make, right,
But I still be seeing them play it though, Right,
But it kind of like I don't I just be
popping it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Are you old enough to get into Magic City?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah? I mean I've always been able to.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He's like, I'm Tony, I get wherever the fuck I
want to go.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's just not no conceded ship.
But they gonna they're gonna mess with me if I go.
But I just I'm not a club type nigga.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You know, smart guy, like you said, going to the
club is not very productive.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It doesn't get me. It's not it's not it doesn't
line where I'm trying to be a nick.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Well, you know, if you're if you're getting paid, that's
one thing. But if you're just going to go, you're
putting yourself in like harm's way for nothing exact and
then you're gonna spend money.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Exactly exactly, So it's pointless to me. And then you know,
I don't really one of the.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Most ridiculous things people can do is go to the
strip club because then you get as an artist, you
become like kind of peer pressured and throwing your money.
Like imagine if you just wanted to go and eat
at Blue Flame or Magic City and you just went
to get food, they would talk shit about you. They'd
be like, man, little Tony came in. He didn't even
throw no money, he just got wings back. Bitch, what
if I'm hungry dog? You know what I'm saying, Like I.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Mean, I don't give a forward gain, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But you know how it is, Like yeah, and then
you end up throwing three thousand dollars just on like
fuck out of here. You know what I'm saying, Like
you could.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It's just it just don't align with what I got
going on. Like I said, I'm pushing generational success. I'm
trying to learn paperwork and certain stuff that nigga don't
be knowing about. You feel what I'm saying, right, So
I'm trying to I'm trying to expand basically.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What sounds like. You kind of came from a background
where your dad was pretty successful, right, so you were
able to kind of pribably see a lot of you
know what it was, us.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And downs and everything. Yeah. So and then on top
of that, I will bless the ugh to also get
signed before all at eighteen, So I was rich before
I was eighteen. Well, as soon as I turned eighteen,
I signed, you, feel what I'm saying. Right before I
even became twenty one, twenty one on R you already
got money in your pocket exactly. So I've always just
(08:11):
been trying to outdo myself.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
What were the things you did with your first bag
when you signed? Because a lot of a lot of
eighteen year olds would probably you know.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The same shit everybody do. Fuck it up. I ain't
gonna lie. I got. I gave my dad on home
the thousand, gave my grandma thirty thousand. Then I went
and bought me a car. I cashed out my fault.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You're gonna push your ket a little six to your
face no more.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I cashed out on a on a beat up ass.
I think twenty eighteen nineteen diede charger, Like, shoot, it's
not the charger, so stupid shit. Then I had I
went about head of clothes. I think I went shopping,
probably spent like fifteen thousand on clothes. I think I
(09:00):
gave like five thousand to my little girl, like just
like in a little trust and a little fun, you
know what I'm saying. Then I gave like twenty five
hundreds for like child sport or something like that. You
know what I'm saying, Yeah, stuff like that. And then
after that I just kept buying guns and stupid shit
like that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So yeah it So did you blow through all all
of your advance like pretty quickly? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, nigga, Like I I got signed in celtemble. I
probably blew through that ship like January, God damn broke.
But I would blessed though, Like I say, to have
a good situation. I was in so I got the
money bag and then my grandma put me on games.
She ain't let me do that no more.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, well, I mean I guess you every I feel
like everybody gotta go through that ship, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, yeah, at least.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You got some clothes that you probably will never wear again.
Is there like three years old?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean I threw them bitches away. It ain't gonna
lie nine times out ten after after I give it
on the bros or I give it to a crackhead.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
As long I feel like, uh, I see you got
the white tea on. I feel like that's you know,

about just how you move you did you know what
(12:04):
I'm saying? Right, It's like you sold what you read,

So as long as you stay out the way, and

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Killer Mike's the guy man. I feel like he's gonna
be president one day, or at least the governor.
Speaker 1 (13:10):

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Hey, I think he could be the governor of Georgia
one day for real. He has political aspirations, so oh,
I know, so hell yeah that feels led like hell

Killer Mike is tapped in on the politics for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Shout with Bernie Sanders and I gotta do some research.

The swag shop is the name of his barbershop.

the Hawks. I ain't know that. Yeah, I ain't know that.
I'm from to see that. I ain't know that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You gotta go, man, swag shop is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Swag shop.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I mean it's a really cool spot. Yeah. I
feel like Boozy has become like a honorary Atlanta mentioned. Yeah,
because he's front front row at all the Hawks.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Games, Like Boozy from Bad Ruge.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I know what I'm saying, But he's always that one
from Yeah he's from Baton Rouge. Yeah yeah, so yeah, No,
I know what I'm saying, but he's like the hawks
number one fan. It seems like front row every game.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Was shout you know, I don't know, I don't really
pay attention to you know, what other folks be having
going on with?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So when is the fit? When's the name change happening.
Do we have a date on it?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, man, but I do got a date for the
deluxe on the deluxe album for eleven April eleven. If
you didn't what I'm saying, it's Kyle Born Again with
the twenty two tracks. Twenty two tracks everything everybody going.
I'm pretty sure it's like four four three three to
fourth features on them.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, because you don't have features on the original, right,
I got?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, I do, I got, Actually no, I don't. So
who's on the deluxe Nino paid h and the nickname
Rocket and my artist, PC of Man.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Man, So you have a label sign an artist? Yeah,
let's see you are you? Because at the end of
the day, it's a big responsibility to sign somebody, right,
kind of like semi responsible for their success. Yeah, it's
a big responsibility.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Have you ran into any like headaches when it comes
to doing the label thing yet?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I mean only twenty so yeah, yeah, most definitely. I
mean just like what you say, man, you want when
you want good for a nigga, they don't want good
for theirself. That be a be a discrepancy, you know,
But when they have a good potential to kind of
be frustrating. You feel what I'm saying because you'll see
something in the nigga that they don't see themselves. Yeah,
(16:32):
you feel what I'm saying, or you'll want it for
them want it. Where my problem has or issues I've
run into, is seeing the potential in the nigga, helping
them out, but helping them out before they realize their potentially.
You doe know what I'm saying, right, So I'm giving
them a platform before they understand how for they really
(17:00):
they really understand how how big this this opportunity is.
You know what I'm saying. They don't really understand how
big opportunity be, so they get on and play with it.
But that well, you know niggas that have to live
and learn from shit like that.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And then you can't you can't want it more than
they want it, you know what i mean.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, But that's where that'll be. That'd be why sometimes
you'll see artists will come up and not really go
for real because they don't be hungry. They don't want
it for real, you know what I'm saying. And that's
how you'll see some somebody try to bring up artists
and they artists don't do what they do. Because the
(17:38):
artists might have talent, but they might don't want it
for real, or they might have an attitude, or it
might be some shit going on in the background.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's like a very small part of Obviously, you gotta
have some talent, right, you gotta make music the marketplace
once they hear. But you also have to have like
all of the other ship almost more because there's some shitty,
shitty music that's cracking because the artists be grinding. Yeah,
and like everything is subjective, you know, but no, for.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Sure, talent is a quiet taste though. You know what
I'm saying. Every everything subjective. So what I think is
good or whatever? You know what I mean exactly that's fair.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Damn. Yeah. So you said that your your your mission
is like kind of more trying to like be on
the entrepreneurial side. You figure out, you know, paperwork ship,
are you investing in anything? What are you doing with
what your uh, what's your extra income? Man?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I can't put you on with that right now. I
can't put niggas on. But get what do what I
will say, I gotta I got a mentor you know
what I'm saying, I gotta financial advis and a mentor,
and I just been learning. I got my credit together
if you haven't, all of your niggas out there and
make sure y'all boy get you all credit together.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, you gotta have good credit, man.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And really, what I do is I just be living
on credit. I live. I live for free Cone spens paper.
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So, so do you? You like have like an AMX,
just run it up, pay off.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The zero exactly so you know, I get rap chests,
so I get I get rap chests, you know what
I'm saying. So I might get paid X, Y and Z.
I might have a credit card that has a balance
of ten thousands. You feel what I'm saying. Okay, Well,
I don't spend ten thousand in a month, right, I
don't do nothing for real. I might buy a fit
(19:22):
for a video, right, and I might shoot four videos
in a month. You feel what I'm saying. One of
my fits might be filteen on it. You know what
I'm saying, That's not too much. Besides that I go
out and eat and I pay for gas and I
pay my bills. You feel what I'm saying. So Okay,
I know how much I'm gonna spend this month. I
(19:42):
get that times four on a rap check, So I save,
I save, I pay the bills off, and then I
just put the rest up so it should be profit
every month. So I'm making fifty seventy thousand dollars profit
every month, you feel, I'm saying, because all I'm doing
it to live and off the credit that they give me.
(20:03):
You feel, I'm saying, So your credit.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Cause, yeah, and then you pay the zero every month.
That's the thing. You gotta be disciplined because you don't
pay the zero.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Make sure y'all need to be disciplined. I get money,
and what I'm saying is I get the money to
pay my credit cause off, you use.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Your credit card to live on, but you pay the
zero every month, build your credit score, and then you
get all the benefits to points. Then you you know, fuck,
I just went on like a seven day vacation for free,
exactly off of them points. You know what I mean.
But the problem is most people get those credit cards
and they live beyond their means, and then they end
(20:37):
up racking up that debt because it's like twenty eight
percent interest rate and then they be all fucked up.
It's like, now, get you're getting this because you would
rather use this than your debit card, because there's benefits
off you use this. Plus, if you ever a debit.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Card is a hard debit carse or shit.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well that's what I'm saying. If a debit card, like,
if some fraud happens with their debit card, it's a
lot harder to get your bread bag. If some fraud
happens with your credit card, they'll just give you that
your back, like right away, because it's not even your money,
so it's not coming out of your account, I mean exactly. So, yeah,
that's smart man, you got to figure it out. You're

I ain't listen to it.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
It's interesting, very I actually fucked with it, and I'm
not a big fan of his, but this this album
has got some the productions insane. Some crazy motherfuckers produced
the funk out of that album. I don't understand a
lot was being said. You know what I'm saying, some
little more noises than lyrics, but survive. You know, it's
great workout music, but I fuck with it. Like I
(24:50):
saw him rolland loud, it was like very it was
very a lot of fire. You know. There was like
a flying skinhead who ate ship. He saw the video
He had this guy. He's got this guy on stage
and he's like telling him the stage dive, and the
dude runs and he jumps and he misses the crowd
and just hits the fence. It's a bad look, but Nah,
(25:14):
it's a good album. When is the DeLux coming out
April eleventh? Right?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:19):

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Wow? Yeah, I mean you got a high output man.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, i'd been making and hat shit.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
How often are you? You must be recording a lot?
Are you just recording any spare time you have here
in the studio trying to work?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah? Well I got my own studio in my house,
So whenever I feel like recording or I feel like
saying something, I just sit down and say it.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
You record yourself?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, and I make my own beats.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Oh that's dope. What are you making beats in?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
If you'l studio pretty loops?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah? Are you recording and tracking in free loops too?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
No? I record on Pro two.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
That's what's up. Yeah, what's your home studio set up? Like? What, Mike?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You got Apollo or not Apollow? It's that it's Apollow,
right Apollo? I think it's eighty seven or Slight.

Oh no, I ain't talking about no interface. I'm talking
about it. Mike.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
The mic is the U eighty seven and his his
interface probably in apollow. Yeah. More artists need to learn
how to do to do that ship because save you
a lot of money. So you don't have to buy
a studio time, you have to worry about paying an engineer.
You just do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh, apollow interface. I'm tripping. I got the apollow interface too.
I'm talking about what Mike, that is?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Like you have annoyment U eighty seven Newman, I know

then I got I got a custom built PC.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh dough.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You save a lot of money making your own beats too,
and you get to run up that publishing a lot more. Yeah,
because you already got published as a writer, but you
get the producer side.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Which is already overstood. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Do you make up beats for other artists or just
for yourself?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Now? Hell no, just me. The only other artist though,
my artist Spinny Kenny Kenny Ceo JPC.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Do you have two artists name Ken on the on
the label.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
No, no, no, my fault hit new name Kenny Ceo.
My fault hit new name Kenny Ceo.

Yeah, okay, he did? Yeah, got it? Yeah, shout a
fresh home. He's ceo, you know he ceo? Shit, you do?
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So they get your beats anyone on the label, get
your beats plus yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
But if somebody wanted to purchase a beat from you,
you would.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Say twenty twenty it's a lot for a reason, or
want a nigga to say, hell, I ain't paying that.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah yeah. And then if they say yes, you're not tripping,
You're like fucking.
Speaker 1 (28:05):

Okay? Why? Okay? First of all, your name is actually Tony, right, so.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Now she look right, I'm a little Tony because that's
my parts. You feel what I'm saying? Your dad is
big to my dad bit Tony. You know what I'm saying. So,
when I was a kid, as I'm going around, people
calling me little Tony.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Just because you're the kid, you're with them all the time.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Exactly, and then I start rapping. When I'm young, I'm
still the kid. So my identity at the time is
I'm a little Tony. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
But your actual name isn't Tony.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
My real names kai you know what I'm saying. But
I'm a little Tony, you see what I'm saying. So,
but I'm grown now. You feel what I'm saying. CEO
and boss now growing up. So I don't want to
be known as key just me. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I respect that. Yeah, you can't be a little Tony forever.
It's almost like, you know, at what point in time
is juvenile not juvenile anymore? And he's grown man.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know it's perfonal preference.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Of course, there's a lot of littles. It's not really original,
you know.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah I thought the same thing, but.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I mean it worked for you. You're here, so that
name popped for you, man, But.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It's more so about ye who are with you feel
what I'm saying I feel you about.
Speaker 2 (03:03):

feel some type of way if you like changing the.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Name mm hmm anything. He won't be saying.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He's like, you know, it's my fucking name. I want
to back.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I didn't name you that ship he proud. He proud
of me, you know, wanted to be like him, but
he must a liked. And now it's time to grow up?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Right? How do you twenty twenty? Oh you can't even
buy alcohol in it most places.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You're a child, yeah, but not child mentally.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
My son is nineteen. You are a child. I'm an
old man as old as me. It doesn't matter how
mentally ahead you are. You're a kid. So it's nice
to be say. Yeah, no, you're young for sure. What
so you said you've been rapping since you were like like,
how like how old were you when you started?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'd say fifteen? But I always been liking music.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Though, right, So what was like? Uh the inspiration?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Like you were just listening to music writing? Like what
made you want to get into making music.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
My father made music and he used to always play
his music when he'll drop me off at school. Oh
so he was a rapper and he wanted no rapper
cause he couldn't drop the music cause he would fighting
cases and he you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So, but he was just he had music that he made.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, he had music that he made and it was
actually hard. So it inspired me. Right, So I'm saying,
you know him with diamonds, you know, fast cards and
a lot of money, you know, big houses, all type
of stuff. So I'm like, I'm looking up to him,
and I seen he not lying in his rock. So
(04:54):
I wanted to rap like him. And then I finally
got the chance to sit down learn how to do
it when there and then when I did it, I
liked it, So I do. I wanted to keep pipping
the keyshit like I wanted to represent the key. You
know what I'm saying, my last name. You feel what
I'm saying. So that's why I say key.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like, So, your dad was getting money, but not necessarily
from hip hop. He was doing rappers more of like
a hobby.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
No, he ain't even he never dropped.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I'm saying as a hobby. Then yeah, it was a
hobby for.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
H Yeah, he did do any for fun, like yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, and this is in Atlanta, So like, was your
pops around any other artists in Atlanta at the time,
Like usually guys like that like have some homies that
are kind of on.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's something like that. Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Something like that. So are you you know coming up
in Atlanta? I feel like it used to be where
you had to kind of pop off through the strip
club circuit. But I feel like with the internet now
that's kind of gone away. Like it's helpful, right if
you catch one it, but it's not necessarily required.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Do you like care about getting your music played to
like Magic City these days? Is that like a thing
you give a fuck about?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Because me partially that's not the music I make, right,
But I still be seeing them play it though, Right,
But it kind of like I don't I just be
popping it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Are you old enough to get into Magic City?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah? I mean I've always been able to.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He's like, I'm Tony, I get wherever the fuck I
want to go.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's just not no conceded ship.
But they gonna they're gonna mess with me if I go.
But I just I'm not a club type nigga.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You know, smart guy, like you said, going to the
club is not very productive.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It doesn't get me. It's not it's not it doesn't
line where I'm trying to be a nick.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Well, you know, if you're if you're getting paid, that's
one thing. But if you're just going to go, you're
putting yourself in like harm's way for nothing exact and
then you're gonna spend money.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Exactly exactly, So it's pointless to me. And then you know,
I don't really one of the.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Most ridiculous things people can do is go to the
strip club because then you get as an artist, you
become like kind of peer pressured and throwing your money.
Like imagine if you just wanted to go and eat
at Blue Flame or Magic City and you just went
to get food, they would talk shit about you. They'd
be like, man, little Tony came in. He didn't even
throw no money, he just got wings back. Bitch, what
if I'm hungry dog? You know what I'm saying, Like I.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Mean, I don't give a forward gain, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But you know how it is, Like yeah, and then
you end up throwing three thousand dollars just on like
fuck out of here. You know what I'm saying, Like
you could.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It's just it just don't align with what I got
going on. Like I said, I'm pushing generational success. I'm
trying to learn paperwork and certain stuff that nigga don't
be knowing about. You feel what I'm saying, right, So
I'm trying to I'm trying to expand basically.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What sounds like. You kind of came from a background
where your dad was pretty successful, right, so you were
able to kind of pribably see a lot of you
know what it was, us.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And downs and everything. Yeah. So and then on top
of that, I will bless the ugh to also get
signed before all at eighteen, So I was rich before
I was eighteen. Well, as soon as I turned eighteen,
I signed, you, feel what I'm saying. Right before I
even became twenty one, twenty one on R you already
got money in your pocket exactly. So I've always just
(08:11):
been trying to outdo myself.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
What were the things you did with your first bag
when you signed? Because a lot of a lot of
eighteen year olds would probably you know.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The same shit everybody do. Fuck it up. I ain't
gonna lie. I got. I gave my dad on home
the thousand, gave my grandma thirty thousand. Then I went
and bought me a car. I cashed out my fault.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You're gonna push your ket a little six to your
face no more.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I cashed out on a on a beat up ass.
I think twenty eighteen nineteen diede charger, Like, shoot, it's
not the charger, so stupid shit. Then I had I
went about head of clothes. I think I went shopping,
probably spent like fifteen thousand on clothes. I think I
(09:00):
gave like five thousand to my little girl, like just
like in a little trust and a little fun, you
know what I'm saying. Then I gave like twenty five
hundreds for like child sport or something like that. You
know what I'm saying, Yeah, stuff like that. And then
after that I just kept buying guns and stupid shit
like that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So yeah it So did you blow through all all
of your advance like pretty quickly? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, nigga, Like I I got signed in celtemble. I
probably blew through that ship like January, God damn broke.
But I would blessed though, Like I say, to have
a good situation. I was in so I got the
money bag and then my grandma put me on games.
She ain't let me do that no more.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, well, I mean I guess you every I feel
like everybody gotta go through that ship, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, yeah, at least.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You got some clothes that you probably will never wear again.
Is there like three years old?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean I threw them bitches away. It ain't gonna
lie nine times out ten after after I give it
on the bros or I give it to a crackhead.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
As long I feel like, uh, I see you got
the white tea on. I feel like that's you know,
you just buy a pack of those.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I stand on it. I could be over billion dollars
them still, t.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you wear air forces more than once?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No? No, you can't. Really, you can't get three wears
I give them away. You can't get three wears. I can.
I can, except not low tos. I don't wear me
only wear low tops more than once. I wear mid toss,
though I doubt my mid toss.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So low top air forces. They're getting thrown out or
given away.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, or given away. But I doubt the mid toss.
I wear them bitches toll they beat.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
So what if they're the Black forces? Do you even
do you even mess with it? If I got Black forces,
can you get you can get to two out of those.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The old Hell yeah, the old forces that I got
the old Black Force out wanting them bitches and today.

you're out here trying to be a gangster, you know
you're gonna get We'll come to you.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Killer Mike's the guy man. I feel like he's gonna
be president one day, or at least the governor.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Of it should say president.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Hey, I think he could be the governor of Georgia
one day for real. He has political aspirations, so oh,
I know, so hell yeah that feels led like hell

You gotta go, man, swag shop is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Swag shop.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I mean it's a really cool spot. Yeah. I
feel like Boozy has become like a honorary Atlanta mentioned. Yeah,
because he's front front row at all the Hawks.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Games, Like Boozy from Bad Ruge.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I know what I'm saying, But he's always that one
from Yeah he's from Baton Rouge. Yeah yeah, so yeah, No,
I know what I'm saying, but he's like the hawks
number one fan. It seems like front row every game.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Was shout you know, I don't know, I don't really
pay attention to you know, what other folks be having
going on with?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So when is the fit? When's the name change happening.
Do we have a date on it?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, man, but I do got a date for the
deluxe on the deluxe album for eleven April eleven. If
you didn't what I'm saying, it's Kyle Born Again with
the twenty two tracks. Twenty two tracks everything everybody going.
I'm pretty sure it's like four four three three to
fourth features on them.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, because you don't have features on the original, right,
I got?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, I do, I got, Actually no, I don't. So
who's on the deluxe Nino paid h and the nickname
Rocket and my artist, PC of Man.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Man, So you have a label sign an artist? Yeah,
let's see you are you? Because at the end of
the day, it's a big responsibility to sign somebody, right,
kind of like semi responsible for their success. Yeah, it's
a big responsibility.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Have you ran into any like headaches when it comes
to doing the label thing yet?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I mean only twenty so yeah, yeah, most definitely. I
mean just like what you say, man, you want when
you want good for a nigga, they don't want good
for theirself. That be a be a discrepancy, you know,
But when they have a good potential to kind of
be frustrating. You feel what I'm saying because you'll see
something in the nigga that they don't see themselves. Yeah,
(16:32):
you feel what I'm saying, or you'll want it for
them want it. Where my problem has or issues I've
run into, is seeing the potential in the nigga, helping
them out, but helping them out before they realize their potentially.
You doe know what I'm saying, right, So I'm giving
them a platform before they understand how for they really
(17:00):
they really understand how how big this this opportunity is.
You know what I'm saying. They don't really understand how
big opportunity be, so they get on and play with it.
But that well, you know niggas that have to live
and learn from shit like that.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And then you can't you can't want it more than
they want it, you know what i mean.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, But that's where that'll be. That'd be why sometimes
you'll see artists will come up and not really go
for real because they don't be hungry. They don't want
it for real, you know what I'm saying. And that's
how you'll see some somebody try to bring up artists
and they artists don't do what they do. Because the
(17:38):
artists might have talent, but they might don't want it
for real, or they might have an attitude, or it
might be some shit going on in the background.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's like a very small part of Obviously, you gotta
have some talent, right, you gotta make music the marketplace
once they hear. But you also have to have like
all of the other ship almost more because there's some shitty,
shitty music that's cracking because the artists be grinding. Yeah,
and like everything is subjective, you know, but no, for.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Sure, talent is a quiet taste though. You know what
I'm saying. Every everything subjective. So what I think is
good or whatever? You know what I mean exactly that's fair.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Damn. Yeah. So you said that your your your mission
is like kind of more trying to like be on
the entrepreneurial side. You figure out, you know, paperwork ship,
are you investing in anything? What are you doing with
what your uh, what's your extra income? Man?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I can't put you on with that right now. I
can't put niggas on. But get what do what I
will say, I gotta I got a mentor you know
what I'm saying, I gotta financial advis and a mentor,
and I just been learning. I got my credit together
if you haven't, all of your niggas out there and
make sure y'all boy get you all credit together.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, you gotta have good credit, man.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And really, what I do is I just be living
on credit. I live. I live for free Cone spens paper.
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So, so do you? You like have like an AMX,
just run it up, pay off.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The zero exactly so you know, I get rap chests,
so I get I get rap chests, you know what
I'm saying. So I might get paid X, Y and Z.
I might have a credit card that has a balance
of ten thousands. You feel what I'm saying. Okay, Well,
I don't spend ten thousand in a month, right, I
don't do nothing for real. I might buy a fit
(19:22):
for a video, right, and I might shoot four videos
in a month. You feel what I'm saying. One of
my fits might be filteen on it. You know what
I'm saying, That's not too much. Besides that I go
out and eat and I pay for gas and I
pay my bills. You feel what I'm saying. So Okay,
I know how much I'm gonna spend this month. I
(19:42):
get that times four on a rap check, So I save,
I save, I pay the bills off, and then I
just put the rest up so it should be profit
every month. So I'm making fifty seventy thousand dollars profit
every month, you feel, I'm saying, because all I'm doing
it to live and off the credit that they give me.
(20:03):
You feel, I'm saying, So your credit.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Cause, yeah, and then you pay the zero every month.
That's the thing. You gotta be disciplined because you don't
pay the zero.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Make sure y'all need to be disciplined. I get money,
and what I'm saying is I get the money to
pay my credit cause off, you use.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Your credit card to live on, but you pay the
zero every month, build your credit score, and then you
get all the benefits to points. Then you you know, fuck,
I just went on like a seven day vacation for free,
exactly off of them points. You know what I mean.
But the problem is most people get those credit cards
and they live beyond their means, and then they end
(20:37):
up racking up that debt because it's like twenty eight
percent interest rate and then they be all fucked up.
It's like, now, get you're getting this because you would
rather use this than your debit card, because there's benefits
off you use this. Plus, if you ever a debit.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Card is a hard debit carse or shit.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well that's what I'm saying. If a debit card, like,
if some fraud happens with their debit card, it's a
lot harder to get your bread bag. If some fraud
happens with your credit card, they'll just give you that
your back, like right away, because it's not even your money,
so it's not coming out of your account, I mean exactly. So, yeah,
that's smart man, you got to figure it out. You're
doing anything with Krypto.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't know nothing bad. It too heavy yet, run away, runaway,
I ain't trying to fuck Yeah, smart guys, that.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Should be you think you got to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Then it was you're not doing sports betting. I don't
be smart man. Good good, stay out of the sports
betting too good. All that price picks, all that ship
be fucked up.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I was sticking to what I know you feel. I'm
getting into real estate, smart. I want to build my
own apartment complets.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's all I'm really looking forward to. Right, besides that,
I want to build my own apartment complets and uh
make sorry I build up on my artists. Besides that,
I ain't really worry about too much.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Right, would you? I don't know if you are you

not a big fan of his, but this this album
has got some the productions insane. Some crazy motherfuckers produced
the funk out of that album. I don't understand a
lot was being said. You know what I'm saying, some
little more noises than lyrics, but survive. You know, it's
great workout music, but I fuck with it. Like I
(24:50):
saw him rolland loud, it was like very it was
very a lot of fire. You know. There was like
a flying skinhead who ate ship. He saw the video
He had this guy. He's got this guy on stage
and he's like telling him the stage dive, and the
dude runs and he jumps and he misses the crowd
and just hits the fence. It's a bad look, but Nah,

So whenever I feel like recording or I feel like
saying something, I just sit down and say it.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
You record yourself?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, and I make my own beats.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Oh that's dope. What are you making beats in?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
The mic is the U eighty seven and his his
interface probably in apollow. Yeah. More artists need to learn
how to do to do that ship because save you
a lot of money. So you don't have to buy
a studio time, you have to worry about paying an engineer.
You just do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh, apollow interface. I'm tripping. I got the apollow interface too.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You save a lot of money making your own beats too,
and you get to run up that publishing a lot more. Yeah,
because you already got published as a writer, but you
get the producer side.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Which is already overstood. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Do you make up beats for other artists or just
for yourself?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Now? Hell no, just me. The only other artist though,
my artist Spinny Kenny Kenny Ceo JPC.
Speaker 2 (27:28):

Speaker 2 (27:45):
So they get your beats anyone on the label, get
your beats plus yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
But if somebody wanted to purchase a beat from you,
you would.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Say twenty twenty it's a lot for a reason, or
want a nigga to say, hell, I ain't paying that.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah yeah. And then if they say yes, you're not tripping,
You're like fucking.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
You're the way your labels, that's that's a headache for them.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It probably will be.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
But that's why they get paid, right. Yeah, they're like, yo,
I need you to switch all this ship over. Yeah,
I mean they I've had to do that for an
artist I was working with. We changed his name. Oh
