the Bucks beat my Phoenix Suns in the finals?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I remember that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that
Game six.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That was a very low point of time in my
sports fandom life.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Y'all got it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You and I mean Blast was the one who was
doing the trolling. You were there for that.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
He's looking good for y'all right now that I'm not
gonna I'm just saying it's looking I like it. I
like what's going on.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I mean, look, we got I own a night club
in Arizona. What you've been to.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I like the fact we got Drey Michelle's baby daddy
on the team now because at least I know, like
we could book Drea for like thirty five hundred bucks
every two weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Other than that, I don't know. I don't know what
you're liking that.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Maybe give me some optimism because I'm not liking shit.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I just like how bro, I feel like Jayalen gonna
get out there and flourish.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, a little double shooting guard for the seventeenth time. Yeah, yeah,
let's make Devin Booker play point guard more? Are you,
like full Lake a Clipper fan? Now that you know
obviously Harden's having a good run. The team looks really good.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I'll never not be a Laker fan.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Right, But you know, Okay, Clippers versus Lakers, watch and
conference finals, hypothetically your boys on the Clippers, who you
really going for?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So I'm at the game, sitting with the homies in
the Kobe Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But let's say hard and get you the seats courtside
Kobe Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Wow, I respect it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You gotta stay down.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Everybody gotta respect it. Man, that's Lake show, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I mean, we'll see what happens with the feels
like Lebron's not too happy right now.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
But le Bron is Bron. Lucas team man, Lucas on
Ozmpic looking good, Luca the Truth.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know, yes, I mean he is. He's all time
white for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Lucas Lucas the Truth.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, he's up there.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's an all time white guy in the NBA for sure.
It's like Larry Bird, Luca Jokic. I don't even know
if it's in that order.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It might be Jokic.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Jokic is probably the best white ever. I think when
it all goes down, we're gonna be like, I think
he might be the he might end up being like
top two or three center of all time.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's cold, bro, and then he just don't care.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's it just makes you so frustrated because he will
just launch these shots like he'd like. It looks so ugly.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I just I don't like how you discredited Steve Nash
and Jason Williams.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Listen, I'm a big nat First of all, Jason Williams
is not in this conversation. An and one mixtape highlight
reel Ah. We loved it though, like the white Chocolate
was great, but relax, Steve Nash, I'm a Sun's fan,
two time MVP. One of those MVP should have been Shocks,
but Steve Nash is up there. He's the top five
white for sure. But I don't think you could. I
mean when you got Jokic, Luca and then and then
(03:37):
the great White Larry Bird, then it's Nash and stocked
in and uh, you gotta chill with that. Kurtkur again,
great coach, better coach than player. What's going on though?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Man?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Obviously the new project's out. It's been out for what
about a month and a half now.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, man, the language man out now on. It's rolling
right now. We're getting ready to dive into Me and
Nip second album.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
YO, talk to me about this Nipsey project because we've
all been like hearing about there's there's a lot of
music in the Tuck that nip was working on.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
When is what give me the details of this Nipsey album? Man, Well,
it's you know from you know, back then, like me
and Bro is just creating and creating and creating it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Is there no pressure part two? Or you got a
new title.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Or it's definitely no pressure part two? But yeah, you
know we we we got so many ideas and so
many you know, playlists we put together. So this is
one you know, just coming together and you know, linking
with Sam, you know, Black Salmon and just all money
and in general and just trying to do it right,
you know, do do what makes sense and make sure
(04:52):
everybody feel comfortable with what's going on. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I think it's probbly important to know that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Like, you know, what I appreciate about what Sam and
those guys have done is they haven't just put because
you know, when Tupac died, there was so much music
that came out. Even when Biggie died, there was like
a weird album that had a bunch of verses on
it and I feel like they've been very intentional with like, Yo,
we're not gonna do nothing that Nipsey wouldn't have done
(05:18):
himself or wasn't already intending on doing.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, for sure, I feel like they stressed that, you
know what I'm saying, like wholeheartedly. I feel like, I
don't know, it's almost like we all got this this
thing we want to protect, you know what I'm saying.
We want to do it right, you want to do
it in honor it Bro, And you know, to be honest,
you know, it was hard to even think about any
(05:41):
music with Bro. You know what I'm saying, since it's passing,
You know what I'm saying. I wasn't just like musically,
you know, I kind of just left it, you know, right,
But you know Sam kind of reached out and he
was ready to do it. So it's like, you know,
pull speed ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So are these records records you guys had already kind
of started while he was here.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah for sure, because we already did. You know. It's
not like we took like verses and it's just big.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well maybe like I mean, looks, I know how the
studio is. Sometimes maybe you get like eighty percent down
of the song. Yeah, maybe you never finish it. Maybe
maybe there's like a brit maybe you cut a bridge
that you don't like, or like a melody, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I mean we we we linked with you know,
the goats, you know what I'm saying. We got Mikey Keys,
we got actual Folly fifte rants, my guy Mars. You know,
it's a lot of genius. It's mixed by Ali you
know in these rooms, you know a lot of creatives,
and you know, we just if anything just elevated the sound.
You know what I'm saying. Nothing, nothing, We can go
and change too much. We wanted to leave it like
(06:40):
as it was.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
For one hundred is his birthday is actually tomorrow, trout
to him. And it's got the Hey did the commemorative
metro cards for the bus?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
That's I think they're dropping tomorrow. Yeah, Fi, do you
have any idea when this album's gonna come out? Oh?
Well I do. I'm gonna just let it do soon.
I'll say soon, soon, soon.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, Okay, I love that is There are there any
other artists on the album?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
There are? Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Were these artists that those verses are already done and
did you guys say, hey, look we gotta go holler
at you know so and so because this be crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
These these these records are already done. Yeah, these records
were already done. There is like an interlot. This has
been added from a great artist. He's going crazy right now.
But I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He's going crazy, stadium crazy, arena crazy, noo crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
What's crazy? I think he's arena crazy crazy? Is okay? Possibly? Yeah? Possibly?
For sure? For sure arena crazy. Okay, you're going crazy
right now.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You're dropping a little like bread crumbs.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
My head's thinking, Okay, who would who would make sense?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Man? I hope already said too much, you saying, don't
even be bad if you man I hope always said
too much. But that we got some shit on there. Bro.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It is crazy because like you've had, like you have
such a great chemistry with Nip and then like you
roll into having this amazing relationship with Blast and you
guys have classics together. Six tape series has been incredible,
and then he's on the new single that you guys
are pushing to go best friend record? Could you speak
to just how easy is it for you guys to
(08:23):
get cause I feel like you guys could just put
a six tape out every six months if you wanted to,
because it feels like your guys, this chemistry is just
there where it's like, yeah, we're getting the studio, we could.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Probably bang out eight records, Like yeah, what's that? What's
that like?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
To just have somebody that you're able to kind of
mesh with on some like you know, Pipping and Jordan
type shit at all times.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You know, really it is just cheat code, bro. It's
like I remember the first time we got in the
studio together and it was just we couldn't believe it
was so easy, you know what I'm saying. So we
don't question it. Were just getting about you know what
I'm saying. We feel like if we start trying to
figure it out too much and might fuck it up,
you know. So it's just I don't know. That's that's
(09:04):
the most easiest creative process for me, the six day process.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Hey, real quick, we want to tell you about our
sponsors at odds Socks. That's our Day one family. Make
sure you follow them at odd Socks Official. I just

two year anniversary of the most viral interview of all time.
Speaker 1 (09:40):

turned it down.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Shout out to that boy Big Boogie, a big college
in Jacksonville, and we just threw these on sale half
off for the five hundred episode t bootleg keV dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Go get you a shirt. Let's get back to the interview.
What when? Because you know you do have collab projects
shout the blue bucks?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
What is?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Because you you will like when you approach the solo records.
What's the difference between when you do these collab albums.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I feel like with the collab, I'm I'm a little
more considerate of you know what I'm saying, the other
party involved. You know what I'm saying. I don't want
to just wholeheartedly, you know, take full creative control and
say no, we should do that. You know, I'm more open.
I'm a team player, you know, so it's literally a collaboration.
So I don't just take on the I don't put
the Belichick hat on, you know what I'm saying. It's
(10:29):
where as I would on my own project, right, so
you know, it's kind of it's like a group project.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Was there a reason why it took a while to
get this album because.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It was like, sorry for the way to d're going
to be waiting a little bit longer.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was just you know everything bro,
you know, getting the business right, making sure the music
is everything we wanted to be right, you know what
I'm saying, And uh yeah, it just felt like perfect timing, bro,
you know right now, you know, it wasn't a long wait.
It's been with like three years. It's a solo yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But I mean obviously you've kept the fans fed because
you had a six tape three and the Blue Bucks record.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And yeah, so we was diving into all these other
projects and just you know, kind of having fun with
this shit for a while. And then when time felt right,
you know, me and the team got together and said
let's do this.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
For sure what happened, because I do feel like, you know,
I remember specifically covid Era the outside album dropping. I
forget which restaurant you guys did the activation at with
Bells yeh yeah, but uh, you know, it felt like
like death Jam had finally figured out this West Coast
(11:44):
thing with you and you know obviously didn't end up
working out. But what do you think kind of like
what ended up happening with the Deaf Jam situation. Is
it just like you just moved on duels up or
what happened?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah? With death Jam, it really was. I don't know,
it kind of just everything kind of just folded. You know.
It wasn't like a like, oh, yeah, we need to
get out of here, you know what I'm saying. There's
more so just you know, go floorish bro. You know,
they kind of just I don't want to speak on
too much of their business, you know, but yeah, like
(12:16):
a lot of us, it just feels like for whatever reason,
like major labels, they just don't understand how to work
West Coast artists.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I don't know what it is about it, Like it's
it's sometimes it's like deflating, cause you'd be like, yo,
Like Atlantic Records has had Ti dollar side for so long,
it's like, how the fuck do you not know what
to do with Tidla sign? But then he goes off
and does this Vultures album and fucking has the number
one song in the country and it ain't got shit
to do with his label. It's really got to do
(12:44):
with him and Yay, and you know, it's it's just,
you know, I think about that even like Roddy recently,
I'm like, fuck, man, like when.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Is the Navy coming out? Dog?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Like, let's not overthink this Shiita. But I just I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Man. It feels like I know a lot of these
labels are like New York based, but I don't know, man,
It's just like it just feels like there's like a
disconnect between like these major labels and like West Coast artists.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Sometimes in fact, you know, I feel like a lot
of everything plays a part. You know, the sonics play apart,
you know, the tempo's like some of the small as
a tempo play apart.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
But I feel like when West Coast artists, we never
like really highlight and I don't even know if he
really highlights it hisself. Is yeat. Yeah, he's from He's
from Irvorland. Where is he from? He's from Irvine. I
thought he was from Portland.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yo. Also, we gotta we gotta give it up to
Doja cat.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, Doga. I love Dogia for sure, and she could
rapprize them.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We just be forgetting that Doja cattle outbar everybody Like,
I'm like, beat your ass up. Let's not get it fucked.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Up by a Dolja fu.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
She is incredible. Hey, you gotta stop the interview. You
want to give a shout out?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
The only thing we smoke ladies and gentlemen is slapwod's.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Make sure you follow them at slap woods. And you
know the reason why we smoked flap woods, it's literally
because they slap. You can't smoke a slap woos. What
the fuck are you doing? Get back to you. How
have you felt like the has there been a tide
turning since to pop Out? And I guess kind of
(14:19):
the light that Kendrick, I guess kind of brought to
a new generation of these LA artists. Have you felt
that tide turning in terms of just like the respect
and like maybe the opportunity that people are getting.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, of course, I feel like as a coast in general,
you know what I'm saying, we all look look really unified,
you know what I'm saying. And more so, I love
how you put them artists on this album. You know,
it's just people kind of look at us different, you know, yeah,
like especially traveling like you hear you an LA rapper
or right, you know, it's kind of it's kind of
just on you, like you just carry that that jacket now,
(14:53):
you know what I mean. So do I feel it?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Do you feel like.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Because I feel like there was you know, I remember
Head was saying this, like now that we have this moment,
everybody got to fucking deliver though. Yeah, you gotta move
with intent, you know what I'm saying. And I feel
like there's been a few artists wh would really kind
of take, Like I feel like Peso has done a
really good job of like taking that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is going crazy, Shi going crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah yeah, azy Chike Man shout out the Hike and
Hike's like like kind of like a new o g.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You know, I mean, like it ain't like Chike's been
been around, Like I just feel like I feel like
it's a good a good time for l a hip
hop man. You know I love Uh, I love Roucie
just dropped. Uh, You're you're going crazy. Blast, I hear
Blasts has a new situation. I don't speak on it,
but you know, shout the blast man.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
For you.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Would you guys do a six tape?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Four? Yeah, it's it's it's only right six fo Yeah,
it's only right, Bro.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Is that something you guys already like it's like the
paper paperwork dry on that or I feel like it's
easier for him to move around now for what I'm
hearing is correct.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I mean me and Blast Bro, we just getting there
and we just make the music Bro when it once
it's time for it, We just getting there and do it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I want to ask you, man, because the first time
I had ever heard of you, well not necessarily hurt
of you, because I had heard of you, but the
first time I had ever really had any sort of
like idea of who you were like and how serious
of a person you are. There is an engineer of
mine who I don't know what ended up happening, but Nonetheless,
some guys you were with shaved his eyebrows off. According
(16:33):
to him, he could have been lying. And I'm like, oh,
oh this, you know guy serious. This was probably like
eight seven, six years ago. But fast forward, you're you're, you're,
You've matured so much. And I feel like in today's
media landscape, we have so much of what was sacred
(16:58):
in terms of some of the culture that is la
driven in terms of you know whatever, affiliations and politics
and all that, and I feel like it's so openly
discussed and outwardly on these podcasts on TikTok, and like,
like I just wonder, like, having the background you have,
how do you kind of feel about you know, I
(17:20):
guess the commercialization the podcast era of like of of
the gang shit.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I mean, no disrespect to the guards to do that,
which you ain't never seen me on.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
There, you no, I know, That's what I'm saying. Like,
I just wonder because it's like it's just crazy. It's
like to me, it's like you see so much shit
getting like worked out on the internet, and it's it's
like somebody put to get a mic put in front
of them, and they just they just leave all of
their their code behind They're just like, Yo, give me
all this clout, bro, I need this clout.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I really ain't into that, bro. Like in that shit period,
I'll barely post on socials like the homeies.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Like you probably got somebody who like, Yo, you gotta
post man.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Like I barely post, you know what I'm saying. And
it ain't even like I'm just I'm not gonna post nothing.
It's just I really don't got ship to post, you know,
if it ain't you know, substantial, I feel like, you know,
I ain't posting it. But I'm not into the the
to the internet ship, bro. But no disrespect to the gods.
Just doing that, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
For you are you like pretty conscious about like like
I guess maybe like not not going on certain platforms
because they could be messy.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
It's just you know, like I'll pull up here because
I fuck with you kid. No, No, for sure, you
know what I'm saying. I'm not messy.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I A'm stirring up.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, you know, how much should I take out of
interviews or I'm like, hey, I know this to good views, we're.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Good over here, like like it's more on the on
the relationship. Just just genuine organic shit. You know what
I'm saying. I'm into that. You know, if I could
vibe which you have a conversation with you off camera,
we can get on the camera and chop it up,

get back to the interview. What is your writing process like,
because you do so much melodies? Do you do like
(21:18):
will you go in and lay the melody down and
then punch in the lyrics or like what's that? What's
that recording process like for you?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Nah? I kind of just getting that bitch out mumble
you know what I'm saying to some feel right and
the words just kind of go with it, you know,
just go go as I go along. Because in my
in my verses, I kind of switch melodies a lot,
like well, I'll switch like cadences right, like patterns and shit.
So literally it's me just on the spot, like just
figuring it out as I'm going.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, do you ever, like, will you still or I mean,
because I know a lot of artists don't write anymore,
do you ever if you get an idea, will you
do voice note it or you write it down? Like
if you're writing down fucking sunset and a fucking crazy
melody or a crazy thought in your head, you don't
write it down?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Nah, I see the thing, the thing like you're gonna
overthink regardless. I feel like. So it's like if I
do a voice note and I say it, by the
time I get to the booth and I'm trying to
lay it and trying to capture that vibe is not
gonna hit the same.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
So it's like you gotta be in the moment, yeah, bro,
and catch the vibe on the spot.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Now that I know what that feels like, just like
unapologetically getting in there and doing you like I don't
want to do it the other way.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Do you ever like go in there because you know
you'll hear like a lot of mcs will have like
writer's block and then they're like, fuck I can't think
of nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Do you ever have like a creative block where you're like,
just I just ain't feeling it today, Like this shit
ain't the way, like like like let's revisit this shit
next week type shit.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah. I mean I don't say I put it off
like that, but definitely if I'm in there and I'm like,
I pop out, you know, try to catch a vot,
you know what I'm saying, Smoke some, drink some you
know what I'm saying, and just not force it because
once you get you put your's like shrooms, bro. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. Once you go down that
negative you know what I'm saying, You're gonna stay in
that bitch, Yo.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's the best I get it now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, because it's funny because everybody, if you eat too
much shrooms. And I had like four nights in a
row in Austin, Texas last week where I was the
last night, I.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Took an eighth and I was fucking.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And there was a moment in time where I was
at this bar and we're about to go to a
strip club, and I was at that crossroads where I
was like about to freak out. I was like, yo,
pull yourself together, dog, the night is young. We just
getting start, and then I just started thinking of like
good shit, and then like the rest of the night
(23:33):
was great. But I was like, there's that point in timer.
It's like, man, if you dive into that negative that
you're gonna be crying. You'll be calling your homies like
hey man, my bad bro.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
As soon as you psych yourself out of it, man,
the rooms start lighting up and shit.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
For sure. But there is yeah, yeah, that's funny. Yo.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
What was cause you know, there was a lot to
be made about the pop out. Obviously you're one of
the artists who was able to be there. You know,
there was a lot of people were like, yo, soch
a big unification for LA to have everybody there.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Was was did you have any idea you were going
to be on stage? Like what was the like, like
what was that day?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Like, uh well really the first time we all got
in the same room was the rehearsal.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, and is there some people got pulled in last minute.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, we get up there and everybody was just you know,
it's like Doc made the call, you know, you know,
so everybody was respecting the situation, respecting what was going on,
and we was there to get a job done. So
everybody was super professional. Bro, it wasn't it wasn't no bs,
it was smooth.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm very surprised Lebron didn't make his way on stage
up there. I saw Russ. Russ was up there doing.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Your shot.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Do we know where your boys signing yet?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Man?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Has he decided?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I don't know, man, just I feel like the Clippers
just need to bring him back for the culture talk.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
He was good with the Clippers and.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Then I think what was was it the Clippers he
beat in the playoffs when he was on the Nuggets
with Denver?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, what is it more solid? Are you more tight
with Russ or James at this point?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
You know both my guys.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I remember when you brought Russ out at your show
that it was.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Legendary rush Man. He for sure like like both of
them for real, just been loved from the beginning. Yeah

All right, let me see what's my favorite one? Man?
Like a lot of people don't know, nip was funny
as shit, bro, all right, and it's something like Nipped
and did often. You know what I'm saying, because like
sometimes me and Nipper be working on the record, I
lay like a hard as verse. This just in the
beginning like when we first start working together hard as Verse,
and I'm like, Nipper come and feeling it, like hyping
(26:38):
me up, like oh, jumping the booth like three of
the hardest bars you didn't heard, you think, and it's
just about to and here just bounce out like all right,
I'm gonna be back. I'm take this call real quick,
and it's never come back, you feel me. So one
time he told me like, come pull up on me.
Let's go put up on this nigga Toy. We go
put up on Toy Tory Lanez. Yeah. So it's funny
(26:59):
because Toy he was getting the haircut like in the
stew and you know, everybody just chopping it up. And
so the record actually released, it was a record featuring
five I don't remember the name of it, but Toy
featuring five Banger and yeah, Nip was supposed to leave
Verse on that and so I'm there, I got my
big brother with me, Nip with me, you know, so
(27:20):
we just kind of strew chilling for a minute. Toy
played the record. I was all right, bet they're like
a hold on, take this car real quick. We're sitting there,
Toy still talking. You know what I'm saying, we all
just chopping it up kind of thirty thirty minutes past.
You know what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm going to
the bathroom. I'm walking to the bathroom. You know how
in studios they got the little guest rooms with the
(27:40):
couches and shit. I walked past the guest room. Nip
laid out asleep. He knocked out. Bro. I'm like, damn,
I gonna used to buy it. Roomen I come back,
Nip gone, I go out. Look the car gone with
me and my brother are still in the studio, so
we have to make our exit. Like you know what
I'm saying. But yeah, that's my dog, Bro. He's known
for doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
We did the Irish goodbye and we call it like
he was like, Yo, where everybody go?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Man, Whenever it's time for me to get up out
of somewhere, I don't want to be man, I'm thinking
about it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What would do do the Irish goodbye?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
You don't say goodbye to anybody, You just yo, what happened?
Especially if if you have a high night, you know,
a shrewd knight. It's the best thing to do. You
just get up out of there.
Speaker 3 (28:19):

Speaker 3 (00:56):

Game six.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That was a very low point of time in my
sports fandom life.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Y'all got it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You and I mean Blast was the one who was
doing the trolling. You were there for that.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
He's looking good for y'all right now that I'm not
gonna I'm just saying it's looking I like it. I
like what's going on.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I mean, look, we got I own a night club
in Arizona. What you've been to.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I like the fact we got Drey Michelle's baby daddy
on the team now because at least I know, like
we could book Drea for like thirty five hundred bucks
every two weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Other than that, I don't know. I don't know what
you're liking that.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Maybe give me some optimism because I'm not liking shit.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I just like how bro, I feel like Jayalen gonna
get out there and flourish.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, a little double shooting guard for the seventeenth time. Yeah, yeah,
let's make Devin Booker play point guard more? Are you,
like full Lake a Clipper fan? Now that you know
obviously Harden's having a good run. The team looks really good.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I'll never not be a Laker fan.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Right, But you know, Okay, Clippers versus Lakers, watch and
conference finals, hypothetically your boys on the Clippers, who you
really going for?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So I'm at the game, sitting with the homies in
the Kobe Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But let's say hard and get you the seats courtside
Kobe Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Wow, I respect it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You gotta stay down.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Everybody gotta respect it. Man, that's Lake show, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I mean, we'll see what happens with the feels
like Lebron's not too happy right now.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
But le Bron is Bron. Lucas team man, Lucas on
Ozmpic looking good, Luca the Truth.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know, yes, I mean he is. He's all time
white for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Lucas Lucas the Truth.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, he's up there.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's an all time white guy in the NBA for sure.
It's like Larry Bird, Luca Jokic. I don't even know
if it's in that order.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It might be Jokic.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Jokic is probably the best white ever. I think when
it all goes down, we're gonna be like, I think
he might be the he might end up being like
top two or three center of all time.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's cold, bro, and then he just don't care.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's it just makes you so frustrated because he will
just launch these shots like he'd like. It looks so ugly.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I just I don't like how you discredited Steve Nash
and Jason Williams.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Listen, I'm a big nat First of all, Jason Williams
is not in this conversation. An and one mixtape highlight
reel Ah. We loved it though, like the white Chocolate
was great, but relax, Steve Nash, I'm a Sun's fan,
two time MVP. One of those MVP should have been Shocks,
but Steve Nash is up there. He's the top five
white for sure. But I don't think you could. I
mean when you got Jokic, Luca and then and then
(03:37):
the great White Larry Bird, then it's Nash and stocked
in and uh, you gotta chill with that. Kurtkur again,
great coach, better coach than player. What's going on though?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Man?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Obviously the new project's out. It's been out for what
about a month and a half now.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, man, the language man out now on. It's rolling
right now. We're getting ready to dive into Me and
Nip second album.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
YO, talk to me about this Nipsey project because we've
all been like hearing about there's there's a lot of
music in the Tuck that nip was working on.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
When is what give me the details of this Nipsey album? Man, Well,
it's you know from you know, back then, like me
and Bro is just creating and creating and creating it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Is there no pressure part two? Or you got a
new title.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Or it's definitely no pressure part two? But yeah, you
know we we we got so many ideas and so
many you know, playlists we put together. So this is
one you know, just coming together and you know, linking
with Sam, you know, Black Salmon and just all money
and in general and just trying to do it right,
you know, do do what makes sense and make sure
(04:52):
everybody feel comfortable with what's going on. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I think it's probbly important to know that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Like, you know, what I appreciate about what Sam and
those guys have done is they haven't just put because
you know, when Tupac died, there was so much music
that came out. Even when Biggie died, there was like
a weird album that had a bunch of verses on
it and I feel like they've been very intentional with like, Yo,
we're not gonna do nothing that Nipsey wouldn't have done
(05:18):
himself or wasn't already intending on doing.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, for sure, I feel like they stressed that, you
know what I'm saying, like wholeheartedly. I feel like, I
don't know, it's almost like we all got this this
thing we want to protect, you know what I'm saying.
We want to do it right, you want to do
it in honor it Bro, And you know, to be honest,
you know, it was hard to even think about any
(05:41):
music with Bro. You know what I'm saying, since it's passing,
You know what I'm saying. I wasn't just like musically,
you know, I kind of just left it, you know, right,
But you know Sam kind of reached out and he
was ready to do it. So it's like, you know,
pull speed ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So are these records records you guys had already kind
of started while he was here.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah for sure, because we already did. You know. It's
not like we took like verses and it's just big.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well maybe like I mean, looks, I know how the
studio is. Sometimes maybe you get like eighty percent down
of the song. Yeah, maybe you never finish it. Maybe
maybe there's like a brit maybe you cut a bridge
that you don't like, or like a melody, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I mean we we we linked with you know,
the goats, you know what I'm saying. We got Mikey Keys,
we got actual Folly fifte rants, my guy Mars. You know,
it's a lot of genius. It's mixed by Ali you
know in these rooms, you know a lot of creatives,
and you know, we just if anything just elevated the sound.
You know what I'm saying. Nothing, nothing, We can go
and change too much. We wanted to leave it like
(06:40):
as it was.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
For one hundred is his birthday is actually tomorrow, trout
to him. And it's got the Hey did the commemorative
metro cards for the bus?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
That's I think they're dropping tomorrow. Yeah, Fi, do you
have any idea when this album's gonna come out? Oh?
Well I do. I'm gonna just let it do soon.
I'll say soon, soon, soon.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, Okay, I love that is There are there any
other artists on the album?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
There are? Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Were these artists that those verses are already done and
did you guys say, hey, look we gotta go holler
at you know so and so because this be crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
These these these records are already done. Yeah, these records
were already done. There is like an interlot. This has
been added from a great artist. He's going crazy right now.
But I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He's going crazy, stadium crazy, arena crazy, noo crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
What's crazy? I think he's arena crazy crazy? Is okay? Possibly? Yeah? Possibly?
For sure? For sure arena crazy. Okay, you're going crazy
right now.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You're dropping a little like bread crumbs.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
My head's thinking, Okay, who would who would make sense?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Man? I hope already said too much, you saying, don't
even be bad if you man I hope always said
too much. But that we got some shit on there. Bro.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It is crazy because like you've had, like you have
such a great chemistry with Nip and then like you
roll into having this amazing relationship with Blast and you
guys have classics together. Six tape series has been incredible,
and then he's on the new single that you guys
are pushing to go best friend record? Could you speak
to just how easy is it for you guys to
(08:23):
get cause I feel like you guys could just put
a six tape out every six months if you wanted to,
because it feels like your guys, this chemistry is just
there where it's like, yeah, we're getting the studio, we could.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Probably bang out eight records, Like yeah, what's that? What's
that like?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
To just have somebody that you're able to kind of
mesh with on some like you know, Pipping and Jordan
type shit at all times.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You know, really it is just cheat code, bro. It's
like I remember the first time we got in the
studio together and it was just we couldn't believe it
was so easy, you know what I'm saying. So we
don't question it. Were just getting about you know what
I'm saying. We feel like if we start trying to
figure it out too much and might fuck it up,
you know. So it's just I don't know. That's that's
(09:04):
the most easiest creative process for me, the six day process.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Hey, real quick, we want to tell you about our

off for the five hundred episode t bootleg keV dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Go get you a shirt. Let's get back to the interview.
What when? Because you know you do have collab projects
shout the blue bucks?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
What is?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Because you you will like when you approach the solo records.
What's the difference between when you do these collab albums.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I feel like with the collab, I'm I'm a little
more considerate of you know what I'm saying, the other
party involved. You know what I'm saying. I don't want
to just wholeheartedly, you know, take full creative control and
say no, we should do that. You know, I'm more open.
I'm a team player, you know, so it's literally a collaboration.
So I don't just take on the I don't put
the Belichick hat on, you know what I'm saying. It's
(10:29):
where as I would on my own project, right, so
you know, it's kind of it's like a group project.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Was there a reason why it took a while to
get this album because.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It was like, sorry for the way to d're going
to be waiting a little bit longer.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was just you know everything bro,
you know, getting the business right, making sure the music
is everything we wanted to be right, you know what
I'm saying, And uh yeah, it just felt like perfect timing, bro,
you know right now, you know, it wasn't a long wait.
It's been with like three years. It's a solo yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But I mean obviously you've kept the fans fed because
you had a six tape three and the Blue Bucks record.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And yeah, so we was diving into all these other
projects and just you know, kind of having fun with
this shit for a while. And then when time felt right,
you know, me and the team got together and said
let's do this.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
For sure what happened, because I do feel like, you know,
I remember specifically covid Era the outside album dropping. I
forget which restaurant you guys did the activation at with
Bells yeh yeah, but uh, you know, it felt like
like death Jam had finally figured out this West Coast
(11:44):
thing with you and you know obviously didn't end up
working out. But what do you think kind of like
what ended up happening with the Deaf Jam situation. Is
it just like you just moved on duels up or
what happened?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah? With death Jam, it really was. I don't know,
it kind of just everything kind of just folded. You know.
It wasn't like a like, oh, yeah, we need to
get out of here, you know what I'm saying. There's
more so just you know, go floorish bro. You know,
they kind of just I don't want to speak on
too much of their business, you know, but yeah, like
(12:16):
a lot of us, it just feels like for whatever reason,
like major labels, they just don't understand how to work
West Coast artists.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I don't know what it is about it, Like it's
it's sometimes it's like deflating, cause you'd be like, yo,
Like Atlantic Records has had Ti dollar side for so long,
it's like, how the fuck do you not know what
to do with Tidla sign? But then he goes off
and does this Vultures album and fucking has the number
one song in the country and it ain't got shit
to do with his label. It's really got to do
(12:44):
with him and Yay, and you know, it's it's just,
you know, I think about that even like Roddy recently,
I'm like, fuck, man, like when.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Is the Navy coming out? Dog?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Like, let's not overthink this Shiita. But I just I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Man. It feels like I know a lot of these
labels are like New York based, but I don't know, man,
It's just like it just feels like there's like a
disconnect between like these major labels and like West Coast artists.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Sometimes in fact, you know, I feel like a lot
of everything plays a part. You know, the sonics play apart,
you know, the tempo's like some of the small as
a tempo play apart.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
But I feel like when West Coast artists, we never
like really highlight and I don't even know if he
really highlights it hisself. Is yeat. Yeah, he's from He's
from Irvorland. Where is he from? He's from Irvine. I
thought he was from Portland.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yo. Also, we gotta we gotta give it up to
Doja cat.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, Doga. I love Dogia for sure, and she could
rapprize them.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We just be forgetting that Doja cattle outbar everybody Like,
I'm like, beat your ass up. Let's not get it fucked.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Up by a Dolja fu.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
She is incredible. Hey, you gotta stop the interview. You
want to give a shout out?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
The only thing we smoke ladies and gentlemen is slapwod's.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Make sure you follow them at slap woods. And you
know the reason why we smoked flap woods, it's literally
because they slap. You can't smoke a slap woos. What
the fuck are you doing? Get back to you. How
have you felt like the has there been a tide
turning since to pop Out? And I guess kind of
(14:19):
the light that Kendrick, I guess kind of brought to
a new generation of these LA artists. Have you felt
that tide turning in terms of just like the respect
and like maybe the opportunity that people are getting.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, of course, I feel like as a coast in general,
you know what I'm saying, we all look look really unified,
you know what I'm saying. And more so, I love
how you put them artists on this album. You know,
it's just people kind of look at us different, you know, yeah,
like especially traveling like you hear you an LA rapper
or right, you know, it's kind of it's kind of
just on you, like you just carry that that jacket now,
(14:53):
you know what I mean. So do I feel it?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Do you feel like.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Because I feel like there was you know, I remember
Head was saying this, like now that we have this moment,
everybody got to fucking deliver though. Yeah, you gotta move
with intent, you know what I'm saying. And I feel
like there's been a few artists wh would really kind
of take, Like I feel like Peso has done a
really good job of like taking that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is going crazy, Shi going crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah yeah, azy Chike Man shout out the Hike and
Hike's like like kind of like a new o g.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You know, I mean, like it ain't like Chike's been
been around, Like I just feel like I feel like
it's a good a good time for l a hip
hop man. You know I love Uh, I love Roucie
just dropped. Uh, You're you're going crazy. Blast, I hear
Blasts has a new situation. I don't speak on it,

and we just make the music Bro when it once
it's time for it, We just getting there and do it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I want to ask you, man, because the first time
I had ever heard of you, well not necessarily hurt
of you, because I had heard of you, but the
first time I had ever really had any sort of
like idea of who you were like and how serious
of a person you are. There is an engineer of
mine who I don't know what ended up happening, but Nonetheless,
some guys you were with shaved his eyebrows off. According
(16:33):
to him, he could have been lying. And I'm like, oh,
oh this, you know guy serious. This was probably like
eight seven, six years ago. But fast forward, you're you're, you're,
You've matured so much. And I feel like in today's
media landscape, we have so much of what was sacred
(16:58):
in terms of some of the culture that is la
driven in terms of you know whatever, affiliations and politics
and all that, and I feel like it's so openly
discussed and outwardly on these podcasts on TikTok, and like,
like I just wonder, like, having the background you have,
how do you kind of feel about you know, I
(17:20):
guess the commercialization the podcast era of like of of
the gang shit.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I mean, no disrespect to the guards to do that,
which you ain't never seen me on.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
There, you no, I know, That's what I'm saying. Like,
I just wonder because it's like it's just crazy. It's
like to me, it's like you see so much shit
getting like worked out on the internet, and it's it's
like somebody put to get a mic put in front
of them, and they just they just leave all of
their their code behind They're just like, Yo, give me
all this clout, bro, I need this clout.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I really ain't into that, bro. Like in that shit period,
I'll barely post on socials like the homeies.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Like you probably got somebody who like, Yo, you gotta
post man.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Like I barely post, you know what I'm saying. And
it ain't even like I'm just I'm not gonna post nothing.
It's just I really don't got ship to post, you know,
if it ain't you know, substantial, I feel like, you know,
I ain't posting it. But I'm not into the the
to the internet ship, bro. But no disrespect to the gods.
Just doing that, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
For you are you like pretty conscious about like like
I guess maybe like not not going on certain platforms
because they could be messy.

I fuck with you kid. No, No, for sure, you
know what I'm saying. I'm not messy.

interviews or I'm like, hey, I know this to good views, we're.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Good over here, like like it's more on the on
the relationship. Just just genuine organic shit. You know what
I'm saying. I'm into that. You know, if I could
vibe which you have a conversation with you off camera,

Speaker 2 (20:08):

intro dog Yeah, and then I still feel like stick talk.

And then I'm gonna put my thumb in a butt.
The whole crowd sings it.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah. Man, come on, It's like I don't know the
future can't do no wrong in the records man, for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:27):

Broken Cannabis dot Com. Go give them a follow. It's
nothing but that good gas. Check them out at your
local dispensary. Broken Cannabis dot Com salute to them. Let's
get back to the interview. What is your writing process like,
because you do so much melodies? Do you do like
(21:18):
will you go in and lay the melody down and
then punch in the lyrics or like what's that? What's
that recording process like for you?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Nah? I kind of just getting that bitch out mumble
you know what I'm saying to some feel right and
the words just kind of go with it, you know,
just go go as I go along. Because in my
in my verses, I kind of switch melodies a lot,
like well, I'll switch like cadences right, like patterns and shit.
So literally it's me just on the spot, like just
figuring it out as I'm going.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, do you ever, like, will you still or I mean,
because I know a lot of artists don't write anymore,
do you ever if you get an idea, will you
do voice note it or you write it down? Like
if you're writing down fucking sunset and a fucking crazy
melody or a crazy thought in your head, you don't
write it down?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Nah, I see the thing, the thing like you're gonna
overthink regardless. I feel like. So it's like if I
do a voice note and I say it, by the
time I get to the booth and I'm trying to
lay it and trying to capture that vibe is not
gonna hit the same.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
So it's like you gotta be in the moment, yeah, bro,
and catch the vibe on the spot.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Now that I know what that feels like, just like
unapologetically getting in there and doing you like I don't
want to do it the other way.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Do you ever like go in there because you know
you'll hear like a lot of mcs will have like
writer's block and then they're like, fuck I can't think
of nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Do you ever have like a creative block where you're like,
just I just ain't feeling it today, Like this shit
ain't the way, like like like let's revisit this shit
next week type shit.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah. I mean I don't say I put it off
like that, but definitely if I'm in there and I'm like,
I pop out, you know, try to catch a vot,
you know what I'm saying, Smoke some, drink some you
know what I'm saying, and just not force it because
once you get you put your's like shrooms, bro. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. Once you go down that
negative you know what I'm saying, You're gonna stay in
that bitch, Yo.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's the best I get it now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, because it's funny because everybody, if you eat too
much shrooms. And I had like four nights in a
row in Austin, Texas last week where I was the
last night, I.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Took an eighth and I was fucking.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And there was a moment in time where I was
at this bar and we're about to go to a
strip club, and I was at that crossroads where I
was like about to freak out. I was like, yo,
pull yourself together, dog, the night is young. We just
getting start, and then I just started thinking of like
good shit, and then like the rest of the night
(23:33):
was great. But I was like, there's that point in timer.
It's like, man, if you dive into that negative that
you're gonna be crying. You'll be calling your homies like
hey man, my bad bro.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
As soon as you psych yourself out of it, man,
the rooms start lighting up and shit.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
For sure. But there is yeah, yeah, that's funny. Yo.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
What was cause you know, there was a lot to
be made about the pop out. Obviously you're one of
the artists who was able to be there. You know,
there was a lot of people were like, yo, soch
a big unification for LA to have everybody there.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Was was did you have any idea you were going
to be on stage? Like what was the like, like
what was that day?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Like, uh well really the first time we all got
in the same room was the rehearsal.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, and is there some people got pulled in last minute.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, we get up there and everybody was just you know,
it's like Doc made the call, you know, you know,
so everybody was respecting the situation, respecting what was going on,
and we was there to get a job done. So
everybody was super professional. Bro, it wasn't it wasn't no bs,
it was smooth.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm very surprised Lebron didn't make his way on stage
up there. I saw Russ. Russ was up there doing.

I don't know, man, just I feel like the Clippers
just need to bring him back for the culture talk.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
He was good with the Clippers and.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Then I think what was was it the Clippers he
beat in the playoffs when he was on the Nuggets
with Denver?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, what is it more solid? Are you more tight
with Russ or James at this point?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
You know both my guys.

that it was.

Like a lot of people don't know, nip was funny
as shit, bro, all right, and it's something like Nipped
and did often. You know what I'm saying, because like
sometimes me and Nipper be working on the record, I
lay like a hard as verse. This just in the
beginning like when we first start working together hard as Verse,
and I'm like, Nipper come and feeling it, like hyping
(26:38):
me up, like oh, jumping the booth like three of
the hardest bars you didn't heard, you think, and it's
just about to and here just bounce out like all right,
I'm gonna be back. I'm take this call real quick,
and it's never come back, you feel me. So one
time he told me like, come pull up on me.
Let's go put up on this nigga Toy. We go
put up on Toy Tory Lanez. Yeah. So it's funny
(26:59):
because Toy he was getting the haircut like in the
stew and you know, everybody just chopping it up. And
so the record actually released, it was a record featuring
five I don't remember the name of it, but Toy
featuring five Banger and yeah, Nip was supposed to leave
Verse on that and so I'm there, I got my
big brother with me, Nip with me, you know, so
(27:20):

played the record. I was all right, bet they're like
a hold on, take this car real quick. We're sitting there,
Toy still talking. You know what I'm saying, we all
just chopping it up kind of thirty thirty minutes past.
You know what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm going to
the bathroom. I'm walking to the bathroom. You know how
in studios they got the little guest rooms with the
(27:40):

of somewhere, I don't want to be man, I'm thinking
about it.
