house with a studio, and we just was rapping, like
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
One day he just playing beat Eye. You know what
I'm saying. I think I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
And he just used to tell me, like before I
went to jail, he was like, look, bro, do everybody

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Dog great? That was you were the hook God. Look kid,
I just don't think. I don't even think you hit

you know what I'm saying. And that was the first
book I did with him. He was like, man, you
know he shot him.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I was in jail.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
What's your favorite g Z album? This is it. There's
a debate here.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I know a lot of people say, you know, Thug
Motivation one on one, but I do think that it's It's.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
My favorite Z album is a mix tape which one
trap It Out Too, all right, I respect it trap
It Out to.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I'm a recession guy. There's just something about the recession.
I think on one of the recession or just the.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Recession, just one on one is like, you know, that's different,
Like I don't think nothing can compare to that. But
far as mixtapes, trapp Itout two was like when he
had to memory, he had the DV deal, he was
in the Macha Miry Man, that shit was cracked mind
de troit.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
That was like, yeah, I think GZ in the grand
scheme of like all time, Goat rapper doesn't get mentioned enough,
like he's in the top fifteen twenty ever, and I
feel like I feel like for certain people he's in
the top five, but I'm saying, like, you'll see a
lot of like you know, hip hop guys put together
their lists.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I'm like, how are we not talking about j Z?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
When Jezus got like fucking the catalog, then like Z
him and Tis catalog is so crazy?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Okay, look who you think of Wayne in the verses
zer Ti woh? Because you know what, I'm just seeing
a lot of people who said Wayne and Tiah.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You know, I think Wayne. I'm gonna be honest, Yeah,
I have a lot of love with Little Wayne.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I'm a fan of Little Wayne.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, but I think Lil Wayne kind of after no
Ceilings there.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Was like a drop off. Yeah. Now I feel like Jez.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Even if like you would say, like Jez maybe isn't
as popular as he was fifteen ten years ago. Jez's
quality to me never went down. NA like he got joints,
like the drama shit he dropped a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I was.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Like, g Z, Now the T I g Z conversation
is interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I almost wish Z.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I mean, the Gucci verses was legendary, so, but the
real verses would have been T I g Z.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That would you think?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
So?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I just think that I think it depends, man, I.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Feel like he just did Gucci liked the wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I mean, as a fan, listen, my first inclination is
like g Z wins, but t I got fucking joints.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I just think EZ got like swacked like us.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
That's what they were saying.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yeah, I got like he's got the Rihanna ship, He's
got fucking.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
He got big song. But I feel like g Z
got like impact song.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I feel like g Z could play half a thug
motivation one on one.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And just the whole thug motivation against any song. I
feel like they g play that for a second, like
it's like who you think, you know, what's all you
gonna go with?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, I also think like g Z has more, you know,
Like when I think of like all There, that's a
song that like is like a later GZ record that
like whatever club you go to in twenty twenty five
or twenty twenty six, if it's the right kind of
club man, you're going to hear all There in at
any point in time in the night.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But like that in Atlanta though, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Maybe and he's got like classics with jay Z, like
I've seen it all.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It's fucking crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Like, yeah, I don't know, man, lose my mind, for
fuck's sake, lose my mind.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That's another one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I wanted.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I wanted to see him in Tia. I feel like
that had been a good one. I mean, I feel
like Gucci want to Fear.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I do think g z uh and t I would
would be good. I think everyone keeps talking about this
TI fifty cent thing, And I said this yesterday. I
was like, t I is low key a little dark
horse in that, Like everyone wants to try to give
it to fifty, but I'm like, I don't know if
it's twenty for twenty. I feel like Ti I could
go head to head with that damn near anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean, how many guess some song that beggars not trying?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Oh for sure. That's another one of those albums. Like
what are you gonna do when he plays many men.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
For real? Or in the club? Like, I mean, Tiya,
what do we play for in the club?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Uh? What you know about that?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Maybe I don't know it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
He can play the Rihattabu for in the club, Like
do you think Rihanna sung compared to in the club?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
N No, I think his in the club is probably
it's probably what you know about that? Or where the
record the one with the jay Z sample the Swiss
Beats produced, Bring him Out?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Bring him Out? Yeah yeah, bring him out?
Speaker 3 (11:54):

don't miss when you guys like Grayson, we paid her
two I mean we paid as a fucking put it
in the rafters. It's up there.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It's like it's like a retired dream.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
No. We were just talking about the song, Like I
was telling somebody when we made this song, it wasn't
no hook, so it was my verse that didn't go
straight into his burdy, right, And then he like, no,
we got to put a hook on there, and I
think he.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Came up with it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, we paid, but hearing it like saying
it was like, what the hell.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Like it doesn't if you just say it, it doesn't sound
as hard.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
As yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it ain't sound as
hard as it was. And when he was like, I'm
putting this because the one we all was going with.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Was Grace, great record.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
We all thought Grace was do you know what I'm saying?
Because I did my verse over the rip. My homie
was like, I was like on some metally shit, but
like just straight out the gate and my homie like, man, no,
I go do it over. He like, I feel like
you can do it better than that, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, So I'm like, all right, bet. And
you know when we recorded the first part, like we
(15:12):
was in the studio and it was just like no
light song and that bit like that's how I come on,
Like how Grace come on?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's how it was.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Like I'm just in there, don't light song and I'm
just rapping. And when I did, I did the first
part and I left. I went back to Detroit and
he was like, man, you know, I hopped on there
and he sent me a song. He's like he's like,
come down here so you could finish the song. We
took a jet down there. He got to show a future.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We took a jet.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Donner and I did the verse and my homiy ain't
like it, And I went back in and I did
the verse over, and when we played it went and
woke up like that's the one you feel me?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Everybody was like that's the one.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Obviously, you kicking around the idea of doing an album
with Jeez, you and EStG did an album. I feel
like the four two Doug Little Baby album has got
to be the number one thing on the docket from
a fans perspective, You guys locking in for like twelve
or fifteen records would be.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Fucking yeah, not even not even just me and him,
like all of us like me, that's what we really
thinking about right now. That's what we really like, being
all like me and him Rollo visz V's is so crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You know what I'm saying. So we all been there.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
When I think of you and like a baby, I
just think of like that picture of Dwayne Wade like
this with Lebron Dunney.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
When yo, I always am curious because back in the day,
we used to have the little Wayne lighter flicker where
we'd hear the lighter flicker and they come on, you
have the whistle. Yeah, and this whistle is fucking legendary.
I'm trying to see, like we in this dude is
stop though the little Wayne shit ever stop. I don't know,
but your whistle man, I feel like when you hear
that whistle, you know some shit's about to happen. How
(17:01):
did this start?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Just me trying to catch the beat? Like some beats
used to have the delays, you know to the beat drop.
I used to when I first started. I used to
like getting on them beats when they dropped. So in
order to catch that drop, I used to whistle. Let
me know how long it is before I stop and
by the time I run out of breath this ole stuff,
(17:25):
And that's how I used to start it.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
So did like an engineer just keep it in one day?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah? I think so. Like I don't even know if
I told nobody to every keep day.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Because now it's like you hear the whistle, You're like,
oh yeah, yes, and now it's your thing that you have.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You got a whistle now.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I was just looking at the video and like they
showing a video like a lot of shit happened.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
The whistle coach gave before the song was like, no,
that looked hard. Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I think back to like, uh, the last six seven years,
and like how Detroit has kind of had hip hop
and a stranglehold. I feel like you have a lot
to do with that. You know, we talked about ps
you know, Grizzly first day out was I feel like
the first record kind of really kicked off that wave nationally.
(18:16):
But I think what's been most important of the last
couple of years is to see a lot of the
main guys moving in Unison, because that was kind of
the one thing about Detroit was it like, yeah, there's
some dope shit out of Detroit, but everybody's got beef.
And when I saw this video you got You're at
the Pistons game, and I want to say, it was
you next to Sada Polo.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, yeah, random, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I just thought that was so cool to see you
and Sada. Can you just speak to you guys kind
of putting your issues behind you. You're working with skill
of baby and just Detroit moving together more as a
as a unit. Yeah, she get Pettier.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It was a ship like that, Like you know what
I'm saying, even from the begin in and it was
always like it ain't nothing to fight, come fixed, right,
you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I never know. Me and Hommie talk, man, Hommy.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Just talked before came my heir for real, He said,
he gonna try to come to the game and ship.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So one of the most hilarious humans of all time,
by the way, Yeah yeah for a show.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I mean, you know, there's just one just too much.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So this is this is why, like Detroit's winning right
now because all the main guys are like on the
same page. Finally you got like you got Vesel going crazy,
you got Peasy going crazy. You know, obviously Rio's from Flint,
but Rio's out, Like it just feels like.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And all we were just you know, I was just
making that well. Vezzl just called me and he was
like overly trying to put it like, bro, you gotta
show bro. We all pushing up, like you know what
I'm saying, We gotta be more like that. Even though
we liked that, we gotta you know what I'm saying,
they gotta see it like that. I'm like, no question.
And I was telling them, like you feel me. Everybody
(20:03):
had been like Detroit got away, Detroit got away.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But and I was telling everybody like, what good is
the wave.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
If we ain't dropping his Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like,
motherfucker's gonna say like they had they did a wave,
but ain't nobody come through, Like, ain't you know what
I'm saying, When Lanta had way, you had Pluto doing it,
you feel me, you had gta everybody doing they post
something like, shit, we gotta produce.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I think you and Skiller have done a good job.
Obviously it's you guys are playing on the same team together,
but I feel like you two specifically have records that
have cut through nationally in the last four years.

Just kind of I feel like you're in a unique
position because you have a situation where you're working with
Baby and you're working with Gotti, and both of those
guys are staples in the game, staples as executives. Has
there been anything you've learned from them too that you're
you're able to apply to your own shit?

that at like Rolling Louts. Yeah, like Detroit Arena. They
gonna word for word that for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
What's a good song.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Why do you think Detroit and the West Coast have
such a thing going on? Because y'all wrap on the
same temple of beats, you know what I'm saying. Like
it feels like there's a real marriage, especially.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
That tempo to drop.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I was just telling somebody when we got out here,
somebody's playing some music for us. I'm like, I'm like, damn,
we need to get back on some Cali beats.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
They got even the box, like the something about the
Bay Area and Detroit, and I think a lot of
it is like the packs in the you know what
I'm saying, the back and forth with the wee game
ship with a show. The Bay and Detroit are like cousins, bro.
Like Izzie did a lot with Empire with a lot
of the Detroit artists.

did for the Gang out in Cali, like I did
free Wood, and I did a lot of ship in Kelly. Yeah,

Kelly were just out here, like you know, it's a
cool vibe out here, like for sure.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Sure big fan? Yeah, funk with him, especially the old
ship Like now for like he just rap overly.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Rapping, overly rapping. That's a good that's a good way
to put it.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, it's like he just but back then when he
had that not saying h don't got our sustance now,
but back then when he was going through that ship
that's staying in and that ain't mild, and that boy
right there was different.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Did y'all watch eight Miles his Kids and be like, hmmm,
we ain't understand it because it's different side of the Troit.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Right, Yeah, yeah, we like, what the fuck? I just
found out that ship was shot in Detroit recently. I'm like, man,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Where was that shot, but I went to the trailer
park where it was shot at, I think.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
But I why.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I did see grass though, so I knew that growing up.
I knew the grass apart I was talking about really
too much of the shelter. We ain't know about that.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh yeah, that was Like, you know, the thing that's
really cool about Detroit as a city and the hip
hop scene is there's two hip hop scenes.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
There's like this.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Underground backpack side and then there's the street side.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
So like, you know, there's Jay.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I don't know if you know who Jay Diller is,
but Jay Diller is one of the greatest hip hop producers.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Of all time. He's from Detroit.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
So he produced for trib Call Quest, he produced a Calm,
and he was in a group called slum Village from Detroit. Yeah,
but that's a whole other side than the dope boy
cash out and.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yeah, like we was more so paying attent to the
streets at right.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
The Eminem kind of like came up in that underground
world of Detroit.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
He introduced us to that first on the Big Show.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeah, and then like Royce the five nine, someone who
also kind of came from that world.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And yes, we ain't know about none of that shit.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
We knew about the Blade Ice was shuttle boys right
about them, Like we thought that was on the ground, right.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
But it was in its own way, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
It's just it's just two separate sides of like Detroit
is like a crazy It's it's one of the only
cities that has like two separate scenes that are very
important but don't Yeah, and I think it's been dope
because like Emine Big Sean did that Detroit Cipher.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yeah, you put everybody on that moment.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think I.
Speaker 2 (32:25):

quarter that made it interesting. It was it was over
and under that I just know that the Seahawks covered.
It was minus four and a half and they won.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
They cut it was the freeze money. Everybody that said bet,

Do you obviously you guys can bet in Detroit?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Right?
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Do you gamble a lot?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I used to like on sports.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, I used to think I had that ship figured out.
I thought I had that ship figured out. The boy
put a belt down on me.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
There's a reason why they have casinos, you know, and
all the commercials and sponsored they win. They you don't
got to figure it out. They gotta figure it out.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I know.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I stay out of that motherfucker.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
What is the worst belt to ask loss you've taken gambling?
Because I've had some really bad I.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Betted one hundred thousand dollars on a parlay and I
bet it on Jalen Hurts and he got injured in
the first quarter. And when they said he coming back,
he needed like a hundred yards. They said, is he
coming back? He said, his stomach was hurting and he
ain't come.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Back for a hundred thousand. I say, I would never.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Ever been on this day one hundred on a parlay
is cralh God, but that's how I used to I
used to bet bookies, so that's how I used to play.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I used to so I had like a twenty twenty
five thousand dollars l but not a hut.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
But it was on some like.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Man, That's why I shout to James Harden. But man,
James Harden ate shit Christmas Day one year and I
can never forgive him.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
The worst Christmas in my life.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I was downstairs in my office and my whole family
was wondering why I was so fucking angry, and I
didn't want to be honest and be like I just
lost fucking twenty five thousand dollars because the fucking beer
didn't show up against the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Everybody was fucking injured. It was Jordan Pule and a
bunch of nobody's.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
On Christmas and the fucking Warriors beat the Rockets. It's
fucking crazy. I'll never forget them. Yeah, gambling is rough, though, gambling.
Now y'all got the cool ie.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Man, go a lot. We stayed at the MGM in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
That ship was a vibe no for MGM, like the

the parking lot every summer.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Gonna do it all right?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
So this album is out, dropped obviously last month? Are
you putting out anything else the rest of the year?
Are you gonna just work this.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Adds of the year.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
I'm gonna try, Like, are you like actively, because what's
your writing process? Are you doing punching in or you
always create the fruit styling? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I punch in whe stage alright, but if it's the idea,
I'll write.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
It down, like if a melody coming.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Minna say, are you ever driving?
Speaker 3 (37:37):
And something pumps up and you do a voice note
all the time.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I never use them though, really I never use them,
but I got a phone full of them.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Though.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Is it when you were locked up? Were you able
to because obviously if you're not writing, do you think ideas.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
While you're locked up?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah? I had a sweet ass first day out so
and they ripped.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It up, They ripped up the lyrics, they ripped it up.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Man, I had so I take a plane, like you
had to get airlift to Oklahoma's crazy shit and you
wasn't allowed.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
To have nothing, and you're like, this is my first
day out song, this is.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
My first I had just went to jail and I
already had a first day out. I'm like, I was
in there buyer one day.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I was crazy on that motherfuck out and they ripped it.
Killed me, damn killed.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Did you remember anything from it?
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I remember one line? This shit was so hard. I
remember writing it.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Do you feel like, because because I always feel like writing,
you're a little more intentional when you put it to paper.
Have you tried to like fuck around and be like,
you know what today in the studio, I'm gonna have
a pen in the path and I'm gonna write some shit.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I see you, baby, try to do it. I'm like,
it's too hard. I'm like, it's too hard because it's
not your process. No one right, it's freestyling when you right,
it ain't your process. So it's alright, Like, damn, I
couldn't even think about writing shit. But when I put
in my notes, uh, and I started off in the
(39:13):
B to B plant, I be at it, you know,
I bet it write a quick I freestyle arrest but
I bet it right.
