the baby. What's up with the new album? Be more grateful?
More grateful? It is out. Yes, sir, I was just
telling you that you got this song pop that thing
which I feel like might end up being. I mean, look,
there's nothing like Peak Club when Sugar came out, Like
(01:06):
Sugar was like one of them, like played back to
back to back. Yes, but this feels like it's it
could be one of them ones.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Man hit for sure, it's a rocket.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
The ladies love it's going crazy on TikTok and all
that shit.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
A hundred percent. Yeah, it was time for one of them.
We overdo one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Talk about why the title be more grateful that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm just in the season of gratitude right now. Man,
I'm you know, just grateful for dthing around me, ead
thing going on, the journey alone, the way the character Bill.
I'm just I'm just in the season of gratitude. I'm
just grateful for I mean, because.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You've had so many piks and valleys and public public
shit going on, and yeah, when you go through all
of that, does it kind of be like, oh shit,
like I can't take advantage of this shit I got,
Like this shit is.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You see what I'm saying, Like that's how it be,
so you know, coming out on the other end of that,
like that's why I'm at right now. You know what
I'm saying, And it reflecting the music, like you know,
I'm you would listen to the music and just tell
like I'm all the way in tune with myself what
I got going on, and you know, just for a
moving everthing just just beautiful right now. You know what
I'm saying, I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Aull on that outro on the Kobe and O nine record. Yes,
so you kind of talk a lot about like not
jeopardizing some of the things that you stand on kind
of spite pressures to do. So, yeah, what do you
think would be like the biggest example of like the
game kind of pushing you to compromise your integrity what
(02:31):
you stand for. Because I feel like like you said,
I think you said something like I don't I won't
walk on them type of rugs or you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's really a lot of
it and it ain't really it ain't really like no,
it ain't nothing. Not really got to like single out
you know and and say something with the music industry,
you got this type shit.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You gotta make these decisions with whatever it is that
you do. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's the simplest thing, like even when like a lot
of like you know, the press that I'm doing, you
know what I'm saying, with the album rolling out and
all that, Like I only wanted to come sit down
with people that I really fuck with, people that really
fuck with me, you get what I'm saying, Like I
was telling them before we even started, like this my
guy right here, Like so I was just real selective
with that, like I just ain't you know, I ain't.
(03:13):
I ain't with you know what I'm saying, like going
anywhere when I ain't welcome or celebrated, you know what
I'm saying. So it's several examples of it along the way,
but you know, I don't. I don't make none of
them count no more than the other one. It's all
about just doing that shit your way, and you know,
seeing that shit through and then the other side of that, yeah,
thing would beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I don't know if you saw this recently, but obviously
it's sat Rocky dropped the number one.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Album, but also that's my dude.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He happened to mention that the only person he's let
help him write was you. Yeah, and he said, like
he looks at you as one of the dopest lyricists
and all the hip.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Power fuck with a sap Man and brusso, you know,
brushso musically inclined, like even like he had me pull
up on him.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I was working with him.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't know if it was for this album or
whatever he said was working on this album, but even
the way he put that message out there, bruh, so selfless,
like he got a niggas taking it. I wrote something
that's on the album. The shit we worked on it
ain't even on it, you know what I'm saying. So,
you know, just just hats off the Bruther just just
being just a you know, a real nigga man, even
just mentioning that he ain't even have to mention that,
(04:15):
you know what I'm saying. But definitely though, like getting
to get in the room with him and work with
them for them a couple of days that we did
get up and lock in. It's just dope to just
see bro creative process and how he got everything like
vision boards all that shit, Like Bro, really you know
where artists bro artistic as hell?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Do you like help with with lines? Do you like
lay a burst down like I think like.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This now it wasn't even like that, Like we was
really just vibing, bro like, and that's what I'm saying,
Like even the way that he you know, the way
he articulated hisself when he said that, like it was
just you know, it was just a selfless way of
just giving in their heads for sure, because there wasn't
no no you should say this like this, Nah, I
ain't do none of that shit. We just we just
(05:01):
vibed and collaborated, you know what I'm saying music wise
or whatever, But that's what I'm saying, Like the way
he like he'll take and then I pulled back up
on him, or I think he sent it to me
a while, like no, he pulled back up on me.
Maybe like a year, not even a year, I don't know,
like eight months after we did, like you and dude,
we did and he played he was just playing records
for me. I was playing with some of my songs
(05:21):
and shit. And he played a song and then it
had a part where like the beat like asap rocky,
shit right, or the beat like screw down and voices
changed and shit low pitch voices, shit like that, and
I'm hearing a part of the song and shit, I'm like, Dawn,
that shit sound familiar, and he like Nigga.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's you, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So it really like it ain't even like the way
that he even utilized like like Bruh picks songs apart.
You know what I'm saying, Like like the production pass.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You know what I'm saying, Like I know that it's
some shit I wouldn't even thought to do, you know
what I mean at the end of the day. So
you know, I picked up on just as much game
as whatever he made. It felt like he did, you
know what I'm saying, if not more. In the same time, You've.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Been around some creative geniuses obviously being around asap being
around Yay, what is like, what are the lessons you've
taken from being because those guys are so like attention
to detail orients and.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, like and I'm a sponge when I'm in the
room with these type guys, like and That's what I'm saying,
like to even get hell as such high regard, you
know what I'm saying from artists that like operate on
that level, you know what I mean, Like it's just
a good sign. Man, It's good to see like a
lot of the people who I admire they work and
their creativity, you know what I'm saying, and they musical genius.
(06:37):
To see that they got like the same level of
admiration for me, I pick up on plenty, Like I
don't even know where to start, but just that attention
to detail more than anything, you know what I'm saying
with these dudes, Like and it's really a lot of that,
you know what I'm saying. I permitted into the album
that I just dropped, because you know, I was real
big on like the production and where I left drums
and where I took drums. I really I could I
(07:00):
could end up getting like producer credits on damn there
the whole.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
A lot of this production is pretty different for you too,
you know what I'm saying. It's not like typical whatever
you would consider it. The baby sound. You know, people
say it got sound. You know a lot of these beats,
I'm like, oh, this is different pocket.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And it brings out a whole different you know, animal.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And you're like in your bag melodically and a lot
of these records.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, yeah, I ain't shy away from that either. So
you know, I look at this project, and you know,
I see every single box that shit checked.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know what I'm saying. Sure, every single box is checked.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And that's why I ain't really like I would never
put out a project with twenty three songs.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, it's a lot. That's a lot of music.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So like even me like after dropping it, and I've
been working on it as long as I've been working
on it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But last year Ship was just a mixtape, which is why.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It was all the exactly. You know what I'm saying.
That was just a mixtape.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That's something I did all right then and there cool boom.
A couple of these records on this album I have
like two three years. Like I saw somebody like comment
on something like, oh you took my you took my song.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I did it, and I dropped it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Like this shit is old.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Just jumped like I did this shit in like twenty
twenty two. You know what I'm saying, I didn't drop
so much bullshit when I've been sitting on certain records
like this where it's like you get what I'm saying,
But like all that just come back around for a
circuit of like me being like, you know, back to
a point where I want to put out a body
of work, and you know what I'm saying, I kind
of fell out of love with the business side of it.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I feel like the battery has been back in
your back for the last at least since last year.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I've been cranking up man, been.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Going crazy with the freestyles. Yeah and yeah for sure,
staying consistent with just all the music shit. But was
it for you to draft to fall back in love
with it or did you just kind of have to?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I had to, Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I ain't realized it until I put the album out
that it'dn't been four years since I put out an album.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like that's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That is kind of wild.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like I spent more time not putting out an album
than I like my first three albums I put out.
I put them out within a year. I'm number one,
number one, number one, right, you get what I'm saying.
So it's like, you know, I put everything I did,
all that, got all the accolades I didn't got.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I did that ship within such a small.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Period and I run, like absolutely and run that bitch
down to COVID and had to come save.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Covid Mike I had the Covid mask on the album.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Covid had to get me off, they ass I'm telling
you so you know, it's just it's it's a beautiful
space that I'm in, bro for real, for real, Like
I'm just unapologetically me and back to you know, the
gorilla marketing that I'm into, Like that's my way of
doing shit, like the way I've been doing it at
fer That's that's me all day long.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Did you ever let the critique because you would always
see like fans say, like all the all the baby
shit sounds the same. Yeah, did you ever let that
bother you?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Or like when these niggas can't fuck with me that
that type shit be like like knowing what I know?
Not like you know people really like people put marketing
dollars in the ship too, like so I don't know,
I don't be knowing what certain It's kind of.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Funny how like the same thing will be posted on
twenty blogs at the same time.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Like so at this point, like I kind of know,
like when the people or whatever type shit, but you know,
whether that came about organically or not, Like niggas when.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
All that ship was great I'm like, I like the
baby sound.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Niggas get picked they whoever they think the highest of it,
don't matter who it is, and just put that nigga
in the room with me with a microphone and some
beats and with.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Safe to say, Jetson got a lot of placements off
of your sound with other one.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Hundred percent, you know what I'm saying, hundred percent. But
Bro got his own thing. I'm saying, by the way
we collaborated, that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So yeah, But in terms of you know, that sound
the same ship like that don't even make sense, Like I.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Got to come up, but then you come out with
rockstar with you.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I got a catalog, Yeah, I got a real catalog
like that type shit. I don't even really got attend
to that type of ship like you can go. You know,
I got levitating with doua Leap, But take something sound
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Don't nothing sound like nothing for real In terms of like.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think it was just that year where you had like.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I was just like, yeah, I was on the ass and
lockdown with a certain type of production.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So you know, but they served me well.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I did serve you well.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
These are songs that you know, five years later, that's
half a fucking decade, Like I can still go anywhere
in the world, and you know, and make a living
off these songs.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So hey, we got to stop the interview to tell
you about our good folks, odd Socks man. Now, these
are the odd Socks Basics, ladies and gentlemen. Now when
I tell you this is a product that every single
day I'm alive for the last five six years I
have used are these odd Socks Basics. Now, what odd
Socks is doing is they're kind of reinventing the sock game,
(11:39):
if we're being honest, and the underwear game. You know,
a lot of times you'll hit Walmart, you'll hit Target,
you'll get some socks, you get some draws. They're affordable,
stand up with holes in them. They don't really feel great,
not odd Socks, ladies and gentlemen. These odd Socks Basics
are the most comfortable socks I've ever had on my feet.
Not only that, but they're super affordable. Thirteen ninety nine
(12:00):
for a six pack. That's it oddsocks dot com. And
if you don't believe me, sock check full. Wait, that's
the EXUS on the other side, there we go. Ah,

But it's so dope that, you know, I get to
(12:21):
push a product that I use and that I love,
so odd Socks they got the six pack socks for
fourteen ninety nine a odd socks dot Com. The basics.
This is the future of socks, the future of underwear
comfort and affordability. I'm talking about affordability without jeopardizing the
quality because they are the most comfortable socks you ever
put on your feet. Ladies and gents and the ETCeteras.

back to the interview. Why is it you know? I
always say this to people. You know, I've obviously I
booked you up my club a bunch and yeah you're
(13:05):
the best. But you're the best. You are, Like I
always say this to anybody who asked me, how's the baby? Like, Yo,
first of all, he's the best because I don't deal
with anybody except you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I just I'll just be like, yo, fah, you want
to do this date? This is how much? Send me
a video time. We don't need a contract.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm like, yeah, no, I'm fucking up showing up late
to you this month.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Why is it that?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't know. Man, you give a fuck so much.
Even at at the club Dog, you be in the crowd,
run like it's we gotta do an album released part
the live show. Killer ship is so real. But it
doesn't matter how big or small it is.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I want to do one like next week. We got
the next week. Yah, don't matter tho. I definitely like
leaving it all on the field, like when it comes
to performing, you know what I'm saying, Like like definitely
especially like you know, like when that's what they want
and that motherfucker like anywhere we didn't been.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You give what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You brought me to Like it's always like they they
be yeah and waiting to see this nigga, like that beat,
the vibe. So I'm gonna always overplay my part when
they come to Last night, I made him kick me
out the motherfucking club keys.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yes, I remember the first time you headline in La
was at the Roxy and you had the mascot and
then you have the fake packs on stage Genesis came out.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's a good night, like five hundred people.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah right, yeah right, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yo, this clear this ship record? Were you sampling Flashing Lights?
Which is first of all crazy? Listen, you did justice
to it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
For sure. That ain't something you could play with.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's nothing you could play with it.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I don't even think he had cleared it if you
play with it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So I'm curious, right you you decide, like what inspires
you to jump on the beat? First of all?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Just doing me?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Are you in the studio listening to ship? Does the
producer play it? Is it like you're in the car?
Comes on the radio?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
What was like? Man, I need to I need to
hop on that.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now you know what.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
DJ Kidd produced it, So I don't know what the
fuck made them sample that. You get what I'm saying,
because I really be trying to stay away from simples
because I hate when I when I do a song,
I follow love with it and that ship can't get
clear like that shit really be breaking off. I got
some legendary ship I did I did some ship on
like a Tupac beat, and I ain't even simple Tupac beat.
(15:17):
I really just kind of did like an interpolation of the.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The That's just the way it is.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Oh shit, br did that ship like two years ago,
two three years I had already shot the video for
it and couldn't get the ship clear. That shit broke
my heart that song and changed people likes, but it
make my buckers cry. Hell yeah here, yeah shot the
video me top dollar sign so top dollar signing. That's
just the way it is. We got to revisit that.
Now they may they may fuck with me. Now, we
(15:44):
got to revisit that because like, but I be trying
to stay clear to go not rumble off. I just
be trying to like stay clear simples. But it's a
lot of legendary simples that they got cleared on this project.
So you know, I'm I'm more, you know what I'm saying,
like open to them or whatever. And at the same time,
like that's like another that's like a business thing, that's
like the business side of it, the where like that
(16:05):
shit kind of be you kind of really just I mean,
what I didn't learn, you know, on hindsight, like just
apply pressure on it like nah fuck that, like get
it clear, like I be feeling like a lot of times,
you know, and not to throw like the label under
the bus or whatever, like when they come to like
clearing the simple like it's me though, it's a meat
thing because I changed my mind quick about some shit.
(16:26):
So I think, like that's what it is, like just
a thing where they like, man, you ain't even gonna
use the song type shit, so we ain't gonna go
through all the legal shit that we gotta do to
get it clear. But you know, I think I think
with this album might have probably made myself clear that
like look when when that nigga do it simple, like
like go with that shit like handle the business. You
(16:46):
know what I'm saying, because everyone of them shout out
to the legal team and let's go too.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
They got all them busious clear?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Did you first case Jojo to the the Kanye when
I wasn't even thinking about that one. I'm like, man,
like cause I already it's like the like I say,
like I don't be trying to I don't be trying
to fall to in love with the ship.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Help me out, Help me out, Help me out fuck
it up. But there is.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
But yeah, I'll be shout out my nigga, big X man,
he was just here. Yeah, but yeah, they got every
last one of them business club.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You know what I'm saying, Do you like, do you
tap and be like No, I ain't.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Even have let him.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I ain't even I kind of And this one thing
I know about Kanye though, like he's into like when
it comes to sampling and all that type ship, like
he's a thousand scene. He's into that, like it wasn't
gonna beat him. He's the one I was at least
worried about, you know what I'm saying, especially like when
I say in the song, you know what I'm saying,
like people ain't gonning to hear his ship, but ain't
gonna have no true and Kanye Clear his ship like
(17:41):
a an artist like that, like and it ain't no
artist like that, Like he's himself right, like he's he's
gonna respect like the artistry and that and and just
you know me even saying that in the song, I
ain't gonna have no fucking like I already just now, Yeah,
y'all niggas in trouble when Kanye Clear this ship. You
get what I'm saying. I know he hurting him, uh clear,
matter of fact. Yeah, I'm about to send you an
(18:03):
open man fuck with me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You know what I'm saying. On the remix Killed Jack,
I should be running into him, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I feel like he's on his uh his redemption.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Right, Yeah, yeah, he on the way back to him
and me both.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You know what I'm saying. So it's all good. We
aligned you guys were redeeming at the same time. Yeah,
it's all good, you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
a legend, man, especially when it come to like like
that era, like like when he's making flashing lights and
all that, it was a whole different, whole different thing,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
So definitely, bro, I appreciate him for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
When people because there are a lot of fans who
like your verse on Jail more than Hove's that song
is I mean, your verse is like crazy, come on,
super crazy. Obviously jay Z killed it too, but was
it like, did you already know that the whole verse
existed when you laid that down or did you just
lay it down? And because at that time there were
so many different versions of shit coming out.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Did out here his ship? I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I did this ship like in a warehouse, Like that's
when my brother was like just working out of like
warehouses and ship, which is the dopest ship.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Never seen like super inspired by that ship, but like
with just like a studio on like a little cart
around the corner.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't know if bru Versus was on there when
I did it.
Speaker 3 (19:15):

if I'm if if Kanye get me to get on
the song period, like I'm yeah, and the production value,
it's gonna be there, like it's gonna be you know,
so any in a song where you know it got
like high level production and it got like open space
(19:36):
for me to create my own pockets and get in
and out of, like I'm I'm gonna do me.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Do you realize at the album release at the what
was it the Falcon Stadium when you're when you're standing
outside of the house, do you do you do you
chop it up with Maryland Manson at all?

To nig you got the hardest verse on the album
and the hardest verse on the albums and shit like that.
Just you know, it just be confirmation and like how
I already feel for real, like you know, but to
get it from them type people like like them, level
of artists like you know, for for you, is.
Speaker 2 (20:31):

like Asap Rocky to say that, is it like because
you know you here, I think you're underrated when it
comes to like when we talk about who's Who's you know, incredible, Yeah,
but I know you give a fuck because you would

And I get it from all of them niggas, a
lot of them.

Niggas.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You know they'll tell me, like behind closed, a lot
more people would tell me you know what I'm saying
like that, they're they'll holler and give me the flowers,
like not publicly, so you know when somebody do like
like got the confidence and you know, the give me
my flowers and the really speak on how they feel
about me as an artist and a lyricist like out loud.
(21:12):
I just I got the utmost respectful it because I know,
I go, you know what I'm saying, niggas gotta niggas
gotta you know meggas seem like they the.
Speaker 2 (21:18):

You and young Boy drop the whole album together going
into the new year. You have some amazing chemistry with
a lot of artists too. If you could drop another
joint project with anybody, who would.

of people was.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
But it was like so it like it was time
for me to turn shit in you get what I'm saying,
Like it was time for me to meet my deadline
or whatever. So but like niggas like him, like like
I told him, like I ain't trying to send them
no music, like let's just get in there. That's really
what I'm on period. I ain't really trying to send
nobody ship like we just get in there.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, let's work on something from Scratches.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, because you know, like like we didn't at this point,
Like you know, like niggas is at a certain level,
you know what I'm saying as artists, and like the
magic gonna come from like that collaborative effort and shit
like getting in there. So you know that'll be a nigga.
I enjoyed doing one with of course Young Boy for
show really anybody bro like I can you And with

Kanye Oh yeah, like that'll be crazy, like it need
to I want to do it with giants you get.
Speaker 1 (23:02):

Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's like that nice ep full of ratchetness.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, that'll fuck the world up. Yeah yeah, that'll flip
ship upside down. It really ain't nobody like that. I
can't you know that, I can't collaborate with I can
go anywhere, you know what I'm saying. So it's whatever,
but I would definitely wanted to beat somebody that. God Damn,
they go crazy. You know what I'm saying, They go crazy.
You got got range, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You got baby daddy music on this album.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You keep me, babe, b That's the song that I
had three years ago. I've been had that ship for
so long. Really, the label and a lot of people
the label been telling me drop that ship. Though shout
out the my boy a mirror he ain't wait in
the skull no more.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But when I when I shouted to a mere boy.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
When I teased the ship, look last week, when I
first teased, I teach I waited till like the week
or the album released to tease that one, because I mean, already,
it's so many different ways I could have like led
off with the project, but I knew as soon as
I made Pop that thing I just made. Pop that
thing that's like the last one I made. But yeah,
like I already knew, like okay, boom hit, I just
(24:08):
let that one. You see what I'm saying, Take them
over into the release, then start teasing everything else when
it get closer. After the ship dropped. But when he
see me post the ship though, he he commented, No,
he commented right there to coming like, oh, nigga, you
want to wait till God damn I leave to drop
this motherfucking hit. I been told you drop this ship. Nigga,
you're gonna wait time, leave and ship. That ship ticked
me man, shut out to my boy and milk. I
(24:29):
have finally dropped all ship.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Bro. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
You are a historical baby daddy.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And see that's another reason why I waited to drop
that ship, because I don't want it to get mixed
up with no boys. It ain't no yeah motherfuckers be
trying to call it a this song or somebody.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I feel like your baby mama drop has been pretty
chill for the last couple of weeks.

More grateful? It is out. Yes, sir, I was just
telling you that you got this song pop that thing
which I feel like might end up being. I mean, look,
there's nothing like Peak Club when Sugar came out, Like
(01:06):
Sugar was like one of them, like played back to
back to back. Yes, but this feels like it's it
could be one of them ones.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Man hit for sure, it's a rocket.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
The ladies love it's going crazy on TikTok and all
that shit.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
A hundred percent. Yeah, it was time for one of them.
We overdo one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Talk about why the title be more grateful that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm just in the season of gratitude right now. Man,
I'm you know, just grateful for dthing around me, ead
thing going on, the journey alone, the way the character Bill.
I'm just I'm just in the season of gratitude. I'm
just grateful for I mean, because.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You've had so many piks and valleys and public public
shit going on, and yeah, when you go through all
of that, does it kind of be like, oh shit,
like I can't take advantage of this shit I got,
Like this shit is.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You see what I'm saying, Like that's how it be,
so you know, coming out on the other end of that,
like that's why I'm at right now. You know what
I'm saying, And it reflecting the music, like you know,
I'm you would listen to the music and just tell
like I'm all the way in tune with myself what
I got going on, and you know, just for a
moving everthing just just beautiful right now. You know what
I'm saying, I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Aull on that outro on the Kobe and O nine record. Yes,
so you kind of talk a lot about like not
jeopardizing some of the things that you stand on kind
of spite pressures to do. So, yeah, what do you
think would be like the biggest example of like the
game kind of pushing you to compromise your integrity what
(02:31):
you stand for. Because I feel like like you said,
I think you said something like I don't I won't
walk on them type of rugs or you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's really a lot of
it and it ain't really it ain't really like no,
it ain't nothing. Not really got to like single out
you know and and say something with the music industry,
you got this type shit.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You gotta make these decisions with whatever it is that
you do. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's the simplest thing, like even when like a lot
of like you know, the press that I'm doing, you
know what I'm saying, with the album rolling out and
all that, Like I only wanted to come sit down
with people that I really fuck with, people that really
fuck with me, you get what I'm saying, Like I
was telling them before we even started, like this my
guy right here, Like so I was just real selective
with that, like I just ain't you know, I ain't.
(03:13):
I ain't with you know what I'm saying, like going
anywhere when I ain't welcome or celebrated, you know what
I'm saying. So it's several examples of it along the way,
but you know, I don't. I don't make none of
them count no more than the other one. It's all
about just doing that shit your way, and you know,
seeing that shit through and then the other side of that, yeah,
thing would beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I don't know if you saw this recently, but obviously
it's sat Rocky dropped the number one.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Album, but also that's my dude.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He happened to mention that the only person he's let
help him write was you. Yeah, and he said, like
he looks at you as one of the dopest lyricists
and all the hip.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Power fuck with a sap Man and brusso, you know,
brushso musically inclined, like even like he had me pull
up on him.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I was working with him.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't know if it was for this album or
whatever he said was working on this album, but even
the way he put that message out there, bruh, so selfless,
like he got a niggas taking it. I wrote something
that's on the album. The shit we worked on it
ain't even on it, you know what I'm saying. So,
you know, just just hats off the Bruther just just
being just a you know, a real nigga man, even
just mentioning that he ain't even have to mention that,
(04:15):
you know what I'm saying. But definitely though, like getting
to get in the room with him and work with
them for them a couple of days that we did
get up and lock in. It's just dope to just
see bro creative process and how he got everything like
vision boards all that shit, Like Bro, really you know
where artists bro artistic as hell?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Do you like help with with lines? Do you like
lay a burst down like I think like.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This now it wasn't even like that, Like we was
really just vibing, bro like, and that's what I'm saying,
Like even the way that he you know, the way
he articulated hisself when he said that, like it was
just you know, it was just a selfless way of
just giving in their heads for sure, because there wasn't
no no you should say this like this, Nah, I
ain't do none of that shit. We just we just
(05:01):
vibed and collaborated, you know what I'm saying music wise
or whatever, But that's what I'm saying, Like the way
he like he'll take and then I pulled back up
on him, or I think he sent it to me
a while, like no, he pulled back up on me.
Maybe like a year, not even a year, I don't know,
like eight months after we did, like you and dude,
we did and he played he was just playing records
for me. I was playing with some of my songs
(05:21):
and shit. And he played a song and then it
had a part where like the beat like asap rocky,
shit right, or the beat like screw down and voices
changed and shit low pitch voices, shit like that, and
I'm hearing a part of the song and shit, I'm like, Dawn,
that shit sound familiar, and he like Nigga.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's you, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So it really like it ain't even like the way
that he even utilized like like Bruh picks songs apart.
You know what I'm saying, Like like the production pass.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You know what I'm saying, Like I know that it's
some shit I wouldn't even thought to do, you know
what I mean at the end of the day. So
you know, I picked up on just as much game
as whatever he made. It felt like he did, you
know what I'm saying, if not more. In the same time, You've.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Been around some creative geniuses obviously being around asap being
around Yay, what is like, what are the lessons you've
taken from being because those guys are so like attention
to detail orients and.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, like and I'm a sponge when I'm in the
room with these type guys, like and That's what I'm saying,
like to even get hell as such high regard, you
know what I'm saying from artists that like operate on
that level, you know what I mean, Like it's just
a good sign. Man, It's good to see like a
lot of the people who I admire they work and
their creativity, you know what I'm saying, and they musical genius.
(06:37):
To see that they got like the same level of
admiration for me, I pick up on plenty, Like I
don't even know where to start, but just that attention
to detail more than anything, you know what I'm saying
with these dudes, Like and it's really a lot of that,
you know what I'm saying. I permitted into the album
that I just dropped, because you know, I was real
big on like the production and where I left drums
and where I took drums. I really I could I
(07:00):
could end up getting like producer credits on damn there
the whole.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
A lot of this production is pretty different for you too,
you know what I'm saying. It's not like typical whatever
you would consider it. The baby sound. You know, people
say it got sound. You know a lot of these beats,
I'm like, oh, this is different pocket.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And it brings out a whole different you know, animal.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And you're like in your bag melodically and a lot
of these records.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, yeah, I ain't shy away from that either. So
you know, I look at this project, and you know,
I see every single box that shit checked.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know what I'm saying. Sure, every single box is checked.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And that's why I ain't really like I would never
put out a project with twenty three songs.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, it's a lot. That's a lot of music.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So like even me like after dropping it, and I've
been working on it as long as I've been working
on it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But last year Ship was just a mixtape, which is why.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It was all the exactly. You know what I'm saying.
That was just a mixtape.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That's something I did all right then and there cool boom.
A couple of these records on this album I have
like two three years. Like I saw somebody like comment
on something like, oh you took my you took my song.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I did it, and I dropped it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Like this shit is old.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Just jumped like I did this shit in like twenty
twenty two. You know what I'm saying, I didn't drop
so much bullshit when I've been sitting on certain records
like this where it's like you get what I'm saying,
But like all that just come back around for a
circuit of like me being like, you know, back to
a point where I want to put out a body
of work, and you know what I'm saying, I kind
of fell out of love with the business side of it.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I feel like the battery has been back in
your back for the last at least since last year.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I've been cranking up man, been.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Going crazy with the freestyles. Yeah and yeah for sure,
staying consistent with just all the music shit. But was
it for you to draft to fall back in love
with it or did you just kind of have to?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I had to, Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I ain't realized it until I put the album out
that it'dn't been four years since I put out an album.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like that's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That is kind of wild.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like I spent more time not putting out an album
than I like my first three albums I put out.
I put them out within a year. I'm number one,
number one, number one, right, you get what I'm saying.
So it's like, you know, I put everything I did,
all that, got all the accolades I didn't got.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I did that ship within such a small.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Period and I run, like absolutely and run that bitch
down to COVID and had to come save.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Covid Mike I had the Covid mask on the album.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Covid had to get me off, they ass I'm telling
you so you know, it's just it's it's a beautiful
space that I'm in, bro for real, for real, Like
I'm just unapologetically me and back to you know, the
gorilla marketing that I'm into, Like that's my way of
doing shit, like the way I've been doing it at
fer That's that's me all day long.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Did you ever let the critique because you would always
see like fans say, like all the all the baby
shit sounds the same. Yeah, did you ever let that
bother you?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Or like when these niggas can't fuck with me that
that type shit be like like knowing what I know?
Not like you know people really like people put marketing
dollars in the ship too, like so I don't know,
I don't be knowing what certain It's kind of.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Funny how like the same thing will be posted on
twenty blogs at the same time.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Like so at this point, like I kind of know,
like when the people or whatever type shit, but you know,
whether that came about organically or not, Like niggas when.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
All that ship was great I'm like, I like the
baby sound.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Niggas get picked they whoever they think the highest of it,
don't matter who it is, and just put that nigga
in the room with me with a microphone and some
beats and with.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Safe to say, Jetson got a lot of placements off
of your sound with other one.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Hundred percent, you know what I'm saying, hundred percent. But
Bro got his own thing. I'm saying, by the way
we collaborated, that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So yeah, But in terms of you know, that sound
the same ship like that don't even make sense, Like I.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Got to come up, but then you come out with
rockstar with you.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I got a catalog, Yeah, I got a real catalog
like that type shit. I don't even really got attend
to that type of ship like you can go. You know,
I got levitating with doua Leap, But take something sound
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Don't nothing sound like nothing for real In terms of like.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think it was just that year where you had like.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I was just like, yeah, I was on the ass and
lockdown with a certain type of production.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So you know, but they served me well.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I did serve you well.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
These are songs that you know, five years later, that's
half a fucking decade, Like I can still go anywhere
in the world, and you know, and make a living
off these songs.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So hey, we got to stop the interview to tell
you about our good folks, odd Socks man. Now, these
are the odd Socks Basics, ladies and gentlemen. Now when
I tell you this is a product that every single
day I'm alive for the last five six years I
have used are these odd Socks Basics. Now, what odd
Socks is doing is they're kind of reinventing the sock game,
(11:39):
if we're being honest, and the underwear game. You know,
a lot of times you'll hit Walmart, you'll hit Target,
you'll get some socks, you get some draws. They're affordable,
stand up with holes in them. They don't really feel great,
not odd Socks, ladies and gentlemen. These odd Socks Basics
are the most comfortable socks I've ever had on my feet.
Not only that, but they're super affordable. Thirteen ninety nine

if you don't believe me, sock check full. Wait, that's
the EXUS on the other side, there we go. Ah,

the best. But you're the best. You are, Like I
always say this to anybody who asked me, how's the baby? Like, Yo,
first of all, he's the best because I don't deal
with anybody except you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I just I'll just be like, yo, fah, you want
to do this date? This is how much? Send me
a video time. We don't need a contract.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm like, yeah, no, I'm fucking up showing up late
to you this month.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Why is it that?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't know. Man, you give a fuck so much.
Even at at the club Dog, you be in the crowd,
run like it's we gotta do an album released part
the live show. Killer ship is so real. But it
doesn't matter how big or small it is.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I want to do one like next week. We got
the next week. Yah, don't matter tho. I definitely like
leaving it all on the field, like when it comes
to performing, you know what I'm saying, Like like definitely
especially like you know, like when that's what they want
and that motherfucker like anywhere we didn't been.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You give what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You brought me to Like it's always like they they
be yeah and waiting to see this nigga, like that beat,
the vibe. So I'm gonna always overplay my part when
they come to Last night, I made him kick me
out the motherfucking club keys.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yes, I remember the first time you headline in La
was at the Roxy and you had the mascot and
then you have the fake packs on stage Genesis came out.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's a good night, like five hundred people.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah right, yeah right, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yo, this clear this ship record? Were you sampling Flashing Lights?
Which is first of all crazy? Listen, you did justice
to it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
For sure. That ain't something you could play with.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's nothing you could play with it.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I don't even think he had cleared it if you
play with it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So I'm curious, right you you decide, like what inspires
you to jump on the beat? First of all?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Just doing me?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Are you in the studio listening to ship? Does the
producer play it? Is it like you're in the car?
Comes on the radio?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
What was like? Man, I need to I need to
hop on that.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now you know what.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
DJ Kidd produced it, So I don't know what the
fuck made them sample that. You get what I'm saying,
because I really be trying to stay away from simples
because I hate when I when I do a song,
I follow love with it and that ship can't get
clear like that shit really be breaking off. I got
some legendary ship I did I did some ship on
like a Tupac beat, and I ain't even simple Tupac beat.
(15:17):
I really just kind of did like an interpolation of the.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The That's just the way it is.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Oh shit, br did that ship like two years ago,
two three years I had already shot the video for
it and couldn't get the ship clear. That shit broke
my heart that song and changed people likes, but it
make my buckers cry. Hell yeah here, yeah shot the
video me top dollar sign so top dollar signing. That's
just the way it is. We got to revisit that.
Now they may they may fuck with me. Now, we
(15:44):
got to revisit that because like, but I be trying
to stay clear to go not rumble off. I just
be trying to like stay clear simples. But it's a
lot of legendary simples that they got cleared on this project.
So you know, I'm I'm more, you know what I'm saying,
like open to them or whatever. And at the same time,
like that's like another that's like a business thing, that's
like the business side of it, the where like that
(16:05):
shit kind of be you kind of really just I mean,
what I didn't learn, you know, on hindsight, like just
apply pressure on it like nah fuck that, like get
it clear, like I be feeling like a lot of times,
you know, and not to throw like the label under
the bus or whatever, like when they come to like
clearing the simple like it's me though, it's a meat
thing because I changed my mind quick about some shit.
(16:26):
So I think, like that's what it is, like just
a thing where they like, man, you ain't even gonna
use the song type shit, so we ain't gonna go
through all the legal shit that we gotta do to
get it clear. But you know, I think I think
with this album might have probably made myself clear that
like look when when that nigga do it simple, like
like go with that shit like handle the business. You
(16:46):
know what I'm saying, because everyone of them shout out
to the legal team and let's go too.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
They got all them busious clear?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Did you first case Jojo to the the Kanye when
I wasn't even thinking about that one. I'm like, man,
like cause I already it's like the like I say,
like I don't be trying to I don't be trying
to fall to in love with the ship.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Help me out, Help me out, Help me out fuck
it up. But there is.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
But yeah, I'll be shout out my nigga, big X man,
he was just here. Yeah, but yeah, they got every
last one of them business club.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You know what I'm saying, Do you like, do you
tap and be like No, I ain't.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Even have let him.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I ain't even I kind of And this one thing
I know about Kanye though, like he's into like when
it comes to sampling and all that type ship, like
he's a thousand scene. He's into that, like it wasn't
gonna beat him. He's the one I was at least
worried about, you know what I'm saying, especially like when
I say in the song, you know what I'm saying,
like people ain't gonning to hear his ship, but ain't
gonna have no true and Kanye Clear his ship like
(17:41):
a an artist like that, like and it ain't no
artist like that, Like he's himself right, like he's he's
gonna respect like the artistry and that and and just
you know me even saying that in the song, I
ain't gonna have no fucking like I already just now, Yeah,
y'all niggas in trouble when Kanye Clear this ship. You
get what I'm saying. I know he hurting him, uh clear,
matter of fact. Yeah, I'm about to send you an
(18:03):
open man fuck with me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You know what I'm saying. On the remix Killed Jack,
I should be running into him, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I feel like he's on his uh his redemption.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Right, Yeah, yeah, he on the way back to him
and me both.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You know what I'm saying. So it's all good. We
aligned you guys were redeeming at the same time. Yeah,
it's all good, you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
a legend, man, especially when it come to like like
that era, like like when he's making flashing lights and
all that, it was a whole different, whole different thing,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
So definitely, bro, I appreciate him for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
When people because there are a lot of fans who
like your verse on Jail more than Hove's that song
is I mean, your verse is like crazy, come on,
super crazy. Obviously jay Z killed it too, but was
it like, did you already know that the whole verse
existed when you laid that down or did you just
lay it down? And because at that time there were
so many different versions of shit coming out.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Did out here his ship? I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I did this ship like in a warehouse, Like that's
when my brother was like just working out of like
warehouses and ship, which is the dopest ship.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Never seen like super inspired by that ship, but like
with just like a studio on like a little cart
around the corner.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't know if bru Versus was on there when
I did it.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I think it was just the beat and Kanye Versus
for real, for real, but that don't matter anyway. Like
if I'm if if Kanye get me to get on
the song period, like I'm yeah, and the production value,
it's gonna be there, like it's gonna be you know,
so any in a song where you know it got
like high level production and it got like open space
(19:36):
for me to create my own pockets and get in
and out of, like I'm I'm gonna do me.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Do you realize at the album release at the what
was it the Falcon Stadium when you're when you're standing
outside of the house, do you do you do you
chop it up with Maryland Manson at all?

To nig you got the hardest verse on the album
and the hardest verse on the albums and shit like that.
Just you know, it just be confirmation and like how
I already feel for real, like you know, but to
get it from them type people like like them, level
of artists like you know, for for you, is.
Speaker 2 (20:31):

like Asap Rocky to say that, is it like because
you know you here, I think you're underrated when it
comes to like when we talk about who's Who's you know, incredible, Yeah,
but I know you give a fuck because you would
have been dropping freestyles.

And I get it from all of them niggas, a
lot of them.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Niggas.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You know they'll tell me, like behind closed, a lot
more people would tell me you know what I'm saying
like that, they're they'll holler and give me the flowers,
like not publicly, so you know when somebody do like
like got the confidence and you know, the give me
my flowers and the really speak on how they feel
about me as an artist and a lyricist like out loud.
(21:12):
I just I got the utmost respectful it because I know,
I go, you know what I'm saying, niggas gotta niggas
gotta you know meggas seem like they the.
Speaker 2 (21:18):

You and young Boy drop the whole album together going
into the new year. You have some amazing chemistry with
a lot of artists too. If you could drop another
joint project with anybody, who would.

of people was.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
But it was like so it like it was time
for me to turn shit in you get what I'm saying,
Like it was time for me to meet my deadline
or whatever. So but like niggas like him, like like
I told him, like I ain't trying to send them
no music, like let's just get in there. That's really
what I'm on period. I ain't really trying to send
nobody ship like we just get in there.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, let's work on something from Scratches.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, because you know, like like we didn't at this point,
Like you know, like niggas is at a certain level,
you know what I'm saying as artists, and like the
magic gonna come from like that collaborative effort and shit
like getting in there. So you know that'll be a nigga.
I enjoyed doing one with of course Young Boy for
show really anybody bro like I can you And with
(22:55):
Kanye Oh yeah, like that'll be crazy, like it need
to I want to do it with giants you get.
Speaker 1 (23:02):

Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's like that nice ep full of ratchetness.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, that'll fuck the world up. Yeah yeah, that'll flip
ship upside down. It really ain't nobody like that. I
can't you know that, I can't collaborate with I can
go anywhere, you know what I'm saying. So it's whatever,
but I would definitely wanted to beat somebody that. God Damn,
they go crazy. You know what I'm saying, They go crazy.
You got got range, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You got baby daddy music on this album.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You keep me, babe, b That's the song that I
had three years ago. I've been had that ship for
so long. Really, the label and a lot of people
the label been telling me drop that ship. Though shout
out the my boy a mirror he ain't wait in
the skull no more.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But when I when I shouted to a mere boy.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
When I teased the ship, look last week, when I
first teased, I teach I waited till like the week
or the album released to tease that one, because I mean, already,
it's so many different ways I could have like led
off with the project, but I knew as soon as
I made Pop that thing I just made. Pop that
thing that's like the last one I made. But yeah,
like I already knew, like okay, boom hit, I just
(24:08):
let that one. You see what I'm saying, Take them
over into the release, then start teasing everything else when
it get closer. After the ship dropped. But when he
see me post the ship though, he he commented, No,
he commented right there to coming like, oh, nigga, you
want to wait till God damn I leave to drop
this motherfucking hit. I been told you drop this ship. Nigga,
you're gonna wait time, leave and ship. That ship ticked
me man, shut out to my boy and milk. I
(24:29):
have finally dropped all ship.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Bro. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
You are a historical baby daddy.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And see that's another reason why I waited to drop
that ship, because I don't want it to get mixed
up with no boys. It ain't no yeah motherfuckers be
trying to call it a this song or somebody.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I feel like your baby mama drop has been pretty
chill for the last couple of weeks.
