(04:17):
used to the dry. So that'sright. I feel home, man,
I feel home. Yeah, youcan move to Los Angeles moving with let
you man, he's got a niceplaces out of you. Explain to us
(04:38):
you're diverse background of music, likeyou grew up doing different kinds of stuff,
Like where'd you get that from?Oh? Man, it's just like
living through life, I guess,because like even in high school, like
there was so much music that wouldjust populate, like you know, going
on like trends, like these kidsdancing and all with everything. But for
me, like what I grew accustomedto like at the time, Uh,
(05:00):
it was metal music that really caughtmy ear like early on to really want
to dive into a specific area ofartists. And that was like straight high
school and then started with that andthen went to college, started trying out
get a little closer to the Micahno problem, sorry. So in high
school started out with metal and that'swhen I first like started getting addicted to
(05:25):
listening to music. And then whenI was skating, it would be metal
and rap, like you know,hardcore rap and and basically I was just
transferring all what I was listening to, like into physical work like you know,
out out in life. So untilI got to college and swear I
started to like put it on wax. I tried making metal music, like
(05:47):
I made a lot of records actuallybefore then, and when the kind of
thing wasn't working out, you know, not too much money in it,
and then like I started rapping tojust copy in my favorites, like you
know, some m I didn't evensound like how I sound like now before
because it's like an identity crisis,you know, like because I was promoting
(06:11):
like metal from the Philippines to whiteboys here in the States and like Norway,
you feel me so like it's kindof like bleeding into that firs.
So I sounded like, uh oh, I don't know if I guess I
sounded like this bro kind of rapping. You understand me, Like, yeah,
(06:35):
so like how I promoted metal backthen, That's how I tried to
rap because I wanted people to understandme and I didn't know. Like even
mixing like how I would speak Tagalogor like that, like in mixing it
up with the English is like evensells more than what the heck that was?
You feel right? I feel thatbecause it's because you're genuine, you
(06:56):
know, and people will gravitate towardsthat, you know, no matter where,
you know, even if they don'tspeak the language. They love rap
music, you know, and that'sjust the universal thing. Yeah, I
feel so too. I'm just thankfulthat, like, you know, what
I'm doing, people just messed withit for real. Yeah, bro,
people feeling it. It speaks toa lot of people. Do you still
have your death core voice? Canyou still do it. Yeah, what
(07:20):

Bro, he's like a fucking chimney. I don't know what You're gonna forget
where you are, who you are. You're gonna forget all the languages you

whatever on something like if I startspeaking something else in front of like yo,
I don't want that languages. Idon't know what languages do you speak?
I got look, so that's liketwo in the Philippines and then in
(20:00):
English. Yeah, so that's likewhat I said in twenty seven Bodies like
three. I would say, that'sright. Lets does that beat your record?
I mean I do I speak threeas well, but probably not as
fluent as his other two English,Spanish, and a little bit of French.
But I do probably to learn likea lot, like yeah, probably
probably probably like equally in the samelevel as you with that. Yeah,
that's probably the like out of bothof those, uh, Filipino languages,
(20:25):
which is harder to learn, youthink from like outsider perspective to Gallo or
was it the other one? Itwould definitely be Ilorano because that's only native
to like Filipino people. It's adialect, like you know, first coined
as a dialect, but it's soAustronesian like how it's like comprised as a
(20:45):
language. It mimics a lot oflike even Japanese in Spanish, and some
of the words like I pick acup, I pick up on like some
things that I'm like that means somethingelse in Japanese. Huh, we were
compact, we would could buy japanor like in something in Ilohana that sounds
like Spanish. Oh, we werecoming about, Like it's weird like how
(21:07):
it came about. It's like justthe mix of it because like in like

Bro, he's like a fucking chimney. I don't know what You're gonna forget
where you are, who you are. You're gonna forget all the languages you

whatever on something like if I startspeaking something else in front of like yo,
I don't want that languages. Idon't know what languages do you speak?
I got look, so that's liketwo in the Philippines and then in
(20:00):
English. Yeah, so that's likewhat I said in twenty seven Bodies like
three. I would say, that'sright. Lets does that beat your record?
I mean I do I speak threeas well, but probably not as
fluent as his other two English,Spanish, and a little bit of French.
But I do probably to learn likea lot, like yeah, probably
probably probably like equally in the samelevel as you with that. Yeah,
that's probably the like out of bothof those, uh, Filipino languages,
(20:25):
which is harder to learn, youthink from like outsider perspective to Gallo or
was it the other one? Itwould definitely be Ilorano because that's only native
to like Filipino people. It's adialect, like you know, first coined
as a dialect, but it's soAustronesian like how it's like comprised as a
(20:45):
language. It mimics a lot oflike even Japanese in Spanish, and some
of the words like I pick acup, I pick up on like some
things that I'm like that means somethingelse in Japanese. Huh, we were
compact, we would could buy japanor like in something in Ilohana that sounds
like Spanish. Oh, we werecoming about, Like it's weird like how
