I appreciate it. Brother, Yeah, yeah, yeah that what two
times is crazy? Yes, sir? Got that sound, It's got
that hike sound you feel yeah yeah yeah, A little
growth to it is definitely there though. Yeah right, like yo,
thinking back to like my World twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen,
(00:43):
twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen, my world right from to now,
dog Yo, what a journey home. Yeah, the work is
being put in, brother, Yes, her skin Yeah, and I
know at first you wanted to be like a conscious rapper.
Yeah yeah, right, who's your inspiration? Was it like common?
I hate you sound so cliche? I said, it was
definitely just the whole TV when it was on like
(01:05):
the High Power era. You know what I'm saying. Definitely
GD A lot of people sleep on him. He don't
do it no more. But I'll give it to Big
Shan too. But I was really referring to Tiger, like
Tiger early days, like black thoughts and shit like that.
Like that was the vibe, bro, that's what you feel
me like for sure. Yeah, me and the homies we
(01:25):
prided ourselves on knowing how to rap, so the conscious
way it was was the move. But it started off
with as far as like rapping, it was a group.
You were in a group, right as is a group? Yeah? Yeah?
Is a group? Yeah. We started off like ten deep,
like crazy, like ten DP. Now is including me is
(01:45):
down to like three four you know what I'm saying.
But I love it, you know what I'm saying on
this strong survive you know? Yeah, for sure, it really
starts out that way right. You know when I got
in the radio, it was four of us. Now it's
just me all good? Oh good? You still keep in
contact with the other members, Yeah, yeah, them my brothers.
I talk to them all the time, play the game
(02:07):
group chat like my spare time. We just go out
and have fun random more. No, they all still rap.
They all still rap. Uh no disrespect. No, No, it's good.
They all still rap. Like you know, I'm very in
tune with that type of ship. I still give my
input and help them out, like you know what I'm saying.
Now that I'm at this level, it's like so much
free game I can give them. So yeah, yeah for sure, boys. Yo.
(02:30):
So at this point, do we have a stack of
songs that we're just picking from for for singles? Uh?
In a sense yeah, technically yeah, honestly yeah, yeah, due
just got a shitload of song We got an album,
right yeah. Yeah, I've been working, bro, I've been working
and I'm still working. I just hate to use the word,
but I just want to really perfect this ship. You
(02:52):
know what I'm saying, you have, I don't want to
rush it, and you know what I'm saying, it's just
it gotta be right, like you know what I mean,
just due to the men that I'm in right now,
you know, I got to come out the gates swinging,
like and since you know, this album has to be
my version of Good Kid Mas City, Like it has
to be that, and I'm not taking it nothing less,
you know what I mean? You want to drop a
(03:13):
classic and absolutely like I have to. I have to.
I absolutely, we have to.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Is that a mixture of both, like that pressure that
you put on yourself and everyone else putting that pressure.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
On you or yeah, but to be honest, again he
sound cliche, but I do love the pressure, Like you
know what I'm saying. I feel like if I don't
have the pressure, then I'm gonna get the sense of
kicking back. And I think it was just something I
grew up with, like even being in school, like if
my mom wouldn't on my ass, then I'm not getting
(03:46):
it done. And I had this thing like I was
very last minute, like it'll be the end of the
school year, and they tell my mom like, yeah, we're
gonna hold them back and I'll just lock it. I'll
be good. You're best under pressure. Yeah, yeah, I surely
got a third grade one. I did homework every day.
I never turned it in though I had a backpack
full right hand to god. My teacher called my mom,
(04:08):
told my mom, I'm like he do homework every day
and got my ass whup And then she was like
where your homework at? And she went through my bag.
We had these like these monthly calendars, right and you
fill them up and you get some free pizza from Domino. Yeah,
I kid, you know I filled up like four months
once I turned all my homework in.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you just didn't want to turn in your homework.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I don't know, Like I grew up shaw and just weird.
You have to stand up in front of the class
and like go drop it, and I just never turned it.
I don't know why you're reading out loud. Was fucking death. No, no, no,
I was cool with that. I thought it was just
more like the presentation ships and ship like that. But
I don't know, I just never but I will always
remember that, Like I don't know what I was on, bro.
(04:51):
That was very dumb with me. But yeah, you tell
your mom.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You need a poster board paper like the night before you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Need yeah yeah, or some type of project tomorrow. But
like yeah, lock in and I always get through it.
So like in times like this, I think about stuff
like that, like you know what I'm saying, kind of
stuck with me, but yeah, I feel the pressure, but
(05:18):
it's a good pressure, you know what I'm saying. I'm
mentally there and I don't have too much distractions, and
I got the right people around me, so it's not
for sure gonna work out. We've been dropping a lot
of projects, bro throughout the years, right, But do you
consider yourself a new artist? No? I don't, but to
others I might be. I would say I'm a new
(05:40):
artist growth wise, because this is the first version of
this hike, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, there's
I've never been this way before, you know what I mean.
So in a sense, yeah, I'm new thanks to the growth,
you know what I mean. Yeah, we're watching it, bro,
we see it. It's insane. I appreciate it. It's really happening, bro.
(06:01):
Yeh fact, how many variations of Pekaboo is there? Would
you say? I think it's only two, the one y'all
heard and the one we did. Yeah. I just think
he just shortened it, like the original Pikaboo was a
lot longer, and we did like more different flows and
different casuses, like more going back and forth. But I
(06:24):
feel like he just did that to have more to
work with, which is great too. Yeah, of course it's
better to have more than less. Yeah, but with y'all
here was literally the beginning of the song, like that's
how it start off. Like he didn't switch nothing around,
everything extra, he just literally cut off. You know what
I'm saying, Is there a line that didn't make it
onto the version that we have now, not that you
(06:45):
wish would have made it, Not that I could remember.
I know one of the other segments. I think I
did another like set of like rapping on the Pikaboos.
There was another segment like he had me like rapping,
like like it was back back back. It was crazy
that that was pretty dope. I wish that kind of
made it, But that's probably it. I mean, y'all, maybe
(07:07):
a remixed dog.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Maybe you don't like to be challenged that in that
sense one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Hundred percent, just because I don't feel like I get
challenged enough just doing what I do in LA. It's
pretty like standard, and I feel like I've mastered the
LA sham. Like you know what I'm saying, it's not
getting born. But what is life without challenges? You know
what I'm saying. Like I love sporring. I love becoming
(07:32):
better and it shows you how good you really think
you are, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, I
love the challenge. Yeah, I love the challenge and it's
okay to lose as long as you know how to
you know what I'm saying. So yeah, that always makes it.
I feel like losses make it stronger than wins, to
be honest, you know what I'm saying. That's the truth. Yeah,
So talking about something that all the time you gotta
(07:53):
lose to win. Yeah, one hundred percent. Unred Hazy Chick
is here my j Yeah, sir, man, game time, let's
go back to that real quick. So like when you
drop game time, right, like, what what what's the intent
for game time? I love the production on it, man, Yeah, yeah,
I appreciate shout it dupree. You know, it's all in
(08:17):
the name man. Just honestly, it's literally game time, Like
you know, it's time for me to lock in that
I've already been doing and it's just showing that I'm
not letting up, you know, front of the song to
the video itself, like you know what I'm saying, it's
just standing on that like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, it was crazy, by the way.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, that's to me, that's my best video today. Yeah,
that shit is crazy. But in the.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
YouTube Comms was like, Yo, you know he dropped a
bag on this video.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, sure, I'm glad they can do. Fact, we better
fucking notice how much we paid for this ship. Let's
put the working. We shot twelve hours eleven to eleven man,
Yeah that's that ship. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. That was
like my first real like it felt like a movie set,
like we took a lunch break and catering, like that's right,
(09:05):
real actors in there. So it was crazy. Did you
take a moment to like take that in? Yeah? And
I was working. If I wasn't shooting the scene, I
was changing clothes. I wasn't changing clothes somebody in my
ear telling me about something or I gotta I want to.
I'm very hands on, so I want to see how
sh it is being done, and you know what I mean,
it just makes me more confident in doing it. So
(09:29):
it was it was on the goals, moving fast.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You're always fitted to did you have were you like
your creative director for the.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Fits or yeah? Yeah, for sure, Like I take part
in that too. I don't. I don't like to be
dressed because you know what I mean, motherfucker don't know me.
You know what I'm saying. So, uh, we did have
a stylist come through. But my one rule with the
stylist you can pull the pieces and bring the clothes,
but I'm putting it together, you know what I'm saying. Okay, yeah,
(09:57):
fair enough. Again, it's just a confidence thing, you know
what I'm saying. And give me a little when I
go out there, you know, when I put this together.
So yeah, for sure? Yeah, Like, are you sure this
looks good? It's a thin line between fly and Corny
sog know, and to them, you look good, but you
(10:19):
don't feel good. Yeah, that's the problem, and that's the
loss right there. That's a lot. And if I do
end up looking at Corny, let it be on my
time because I chose to do that. Yeah. Yeah, so
there's no one else to blame but yourself. Facts. I
can live with that. Yeah for sure. What was it
like opening up and being on tour with Shortline Mafia? Man?
That was dope. Soon of the best times of my life. Yeah,
(10:41):
how were you? Uh, there's like twenty three, twenty twenty three,
y'all a wild and that was twenty three. Yeah, it
was crazy, It was yo, and nobody Nobody's never asked
you that question. Yeah, shut out the my guys. Uh.
(11:03):
It was crazy times. But I also took a lot
from that, Like you know what I'm saying, And I
always say, I don't feel like people give Shortline the
flowers they deserve, like like those was the first artist
I've seen like around my age, like the young niggas
like really torn the country off the West Coast, saying
(11:26):
like a lot of motherfuckers can't do that. Even bigger
West Coast artists that was bigger than them could not
do that. Like I'm watching them sell out the Webster
Hall in New York, I'm watching them sell out Missouri, Atlanta,
and I'm with him. I'm seeing this ship and it's
like it's not even like the people just showing up,
like no, these motherfuckers screaming the words word for words.
(11:48):
So crazy it was. Yeah, it was an amazing experience.
And you know what I'm saying, we had hell of fun, Bro,
I'm sure there was a lot of fun going on.
God take me back so much doing bro you memories.
Uh and back then short Line too, they were they
(12:11):
were going crazy. Yeah yeah, Nah, that ship was nuts, Bro,
That ship was nuts. I don't know, I'll tell you
what crazy. I don't know. They're gonna be mad at
me for telling this, but I think it was in Missouri,
right and uh, I guess they like brought some girls
(12:34):
onto the bus, but they didn't know Phoenix and Jez
didn't know that they girls the actual girls full out there.
I think still remember this. They got them and they
girls followed the tour bus and got on the ass.
That ship was so crazy they got caught for sure.
(12:58):
That ship was crazy, bro. It was so much that
crazy shit because you gotta think about Shortline Mafia. They
was really like fifteen twenty deep in all time broh,
Like I fucked it all over it out yeah yeah,
yeah yeah. I don't know how they did it, but
they did it, bro. Like I said, that shit was epic.
I got to see like the rest of the country,
(13:18):
like my first time in Cincinnati and all this shit.
It was like thick snow and you know what I'm saying.
And also with them, it taught me how to work
a crowd because at times they did have a lot
of openers and the crowd would get wrestless, like Nigga
were here for Shoreline, Like they would start changing shortline,
and you rapping the people that are working the hardest
of the people that are opening up a toy. So
(13:40):
I did so many days. I just start learning, like
I never got boot off stage, and not because I
was just so crazy on stage. I just knew how
to read the room. You know what I'm saying. If
the crowd wrestlers, I'm not going to go do my
whole set. I'm going to go do my bangers, crowd
and gauge and I'm out. You know what I'm saying,
Bring someone out from their town. That's what I did.
(14:00):
They did Webster Hall. I kid you not, we did
Webster Hall. New York is a tough crowd. New York.
They don't play that shit. So I'm already hearing niggas
get booed off stage. And when I went I brought
out Rich from New Jersey, so they went crazy. You
know what I'm saying, Like Rich, he came out for me. Yeah, yeah,
I'm telling you I knew. I knew the playbook, bro,
(14:23):
like they wouldn't get me fu Yeah. I mean tonight,
bro Hell and they will boo New York. They talk
about your feelings. They don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
And don't give a fuck. Hey, Jack, you mentioned that
women will find out what you find out earlier on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
What about Yeah, I had I have an inclination of
how many features you already have on the album? Okay,
I feel like it's a solid three and correct me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So far, so far, so far, like officially.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Not officially, but I do think Rowdy is one of them.
I think is another, and I think Tyler is one
of them.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I would love to have those on the album. That
will be crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You confirming kind.
Speaker 1 (15:14):

somewhere around there. You know you're not off though. I'll
tell you that you're pretty close. Women will find out. Bro,
you're pretty fucking I get that. Look you're very very close.
But that's the stage I'm men right now for the album,
(15:35):
which is crazy bet that. Like I've done so many records,
I got real strong records already, I'm just missing those features.
So now I'm doing my rounds and you know, gathering
those up, getting it done. Bro. You pulled up the
Tyler creator and said a fade or a feature, what's
it gonna be? My ship? And then post for a
picture and told him say, gee, I'm not giving them

gonna put my life on the line. We're gonna squabble up,
shoot it out with you. Give your feature, We're gonna
fight my Yeah. As long as we can. Yeah, as
(16:21):
long as we can make beautiful, creative music, we can scarred,
knuckle up. As many times you want to talk, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
That's it man, Yo, this year is a pretty big
year for you too, with birthdays that you're gonna be
your thirtieth birthday or anybody.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, No, I'm not too big on birthdays. I really
don't care for God and usually birthdays bro. Yeah, usually
when I do like do something like very last minute.
The only time I really like playing something out and
did something for my birthday was twenty twenty three, Like, uh,
(16:56):
I just flew to Paris by myself, spend like four
or five days is up there and just was chilling.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah. I had like a morning routine, like I feel
I could live out there for sure. Like, yeah, the
people at the market already knew me because I was
going there every morning. Like you know what I'm saying.
It was dope, man, I had living another life for
a minute. Yeah, like it was dope, fucking feeding pigeons
and ship. It was crazy, man, Yeah, crazy reading a
book under the Eiffel Tower. Yeah, like it was yeah.
(17:28):
And I told you I was about myself. Like I
went to a restaurant the day of my birthday. I
kind of feel like it was like God, Like I
was just chilling the waiter. He was black. He looked
at me like you wrapped, but he friends, he got
the little accent and ship. He was fucking with me.
Then like another waiter came and I was eating dinner
(17:50):
by the Eiffel Tower. And it's like at a certain
time it started like doing a little sparkling ship and
the waiter lady was like, when me take a picture
for you? Like it was crazy, bro, it was crazy.
It was crazy. It was cringing. Yeah, Like it was like, honestly,
didn't even need nobody, Like you know what I'm saying,
But it was crazy. I found me a never I
could never do. You could never do nothing like you
(18:14):
never do. I would love. That sounds so good when
you got a wife and kids at the house. I
would love to do that. Yeah. I'm the first born though,
so it's like, oh, yeah, you used to doing ship
by myself. You know what I'm saying. You have to
be your own grown up. Yeah, yeah, you have to
sign your own permission slip and I found a photographer
out there on TikTok like I have to. I was
(18:35):
the searchion on TikTok founder. She was cold. It worked out, dope,
it worked out, man. Sad. That sounds like when you
went to Italy, Bro, you went your son? No, yes,
fire people on them for they think they hit Americans.
But yeah, I had a great experience. It's like yours.
No fact, food is great. Did you ask cargo or
(18:56):
anything local from there?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I did, I I think I did. I think I Bro,
Really is it good? What it taste like? You know?
I did that? That's the nail. Hell, we're not doing
snail right. I didn't eat it. I would have tried,
and fuck it, I would have tried to. Is there
anyplace else he'd like to kind of travel? Maybe do
one of those again. I do want to go to
(19:21):
I think I want to go to like West Africa.
Like even when I went to Paris that was my
first time going out the country. I'm like, you a
fucking sellout. Why do you come over here first? Take
your staff beca like you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
you're a fucking shoutout, like you want to come over
here and ball out in front of the mirror. But
(19:42):
you know what really hit me is that it's the demographic. Yeah,
it was just a demographic. It was a lot of
black people out there. But I'm like, pars sit on
top of Africa, like it was a lot of colonizing
going that way. And I'm like, so it made sense.
So it even hit me harder. I'm in the airport,
I'm saying, all these black people and they don't even
(20:04):
know they speaking straight French. I'm just like, damn, that's crazy.
So I gotta go to Africa, bro, Like I have
to my man, that's what. Yeah, I gotta go. You
learn any French? Fuck No, I start trying to learn
French once I'm leaving, Like it's crazy. I swear to god,
you want to come back? Yeah? Yeah? And I'm like
I was like I was at the airport early so
I'm just like buying ship and I was trying to
(20:25):
talk to the ladies. I'm like, let me learn why
I'm here, Like, it's a little too late for that.
All I knew was Mercy. That's it, Mercy, Gee, that's
rank you. Yeah. I just keep saying thank you, Mercy.
Oh Mercy. Yeah yeah, come from France, Mercy.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They knew I was a foreigner, bro, they knew it. Yeah. Yeah,
Well when they know that, don't they try to overcharge
you for ship? And like, don't they try to scam
in Mexico to me in Mexico? Right, definitely happens in Mexico. Yeah, definitely,
no facts. Fact, you feel me? You know what I mean?
What up? Last? Yo?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
So I your vegan? Right, how do you go about?
Like I feel like it's vegans get a lot of
a lot of shit usually from people. Yeah, I have
a hard time dealing with.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That, uh in a sense. But I'm not like the
the the overly proud vegan, like you know what I mean,
meat tucks T shirt or like you know what I'm saying, murder.
We were talking about game time, you like, damn game
times a whole record. I'm like you know what vegan like,
you know, I don't. I don't put it out.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
There try to get everybody on the same boat.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
No, no, no, And I don't have my spots that
like I like to take my people's too, and I'm
not you know, I make dude, like even when we
go out to eat places and they might not have
nothing from me, I'll just eat side or some ship.
But like there you go. Yeah, I'm like, I'm not
like too vocal about it, but it's just like my
thing because a lot of people can't do it. But
you know what I'm saying, it's just a meat thing.
Yeah for sure. Yeah. Yo, the video of you sitting
(21:57):
on the couch with your people watching kinder Reform Peekable
with the Super Bowl and then he does your verse. Bro,
Yeah that was crazy, crazy man, Like I got you.
I don't imagine what you were feeling. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
that was insane. It was. It was a rush, bro.
You know, we didn't we didn't think he was even
gonna do that. My manager stud it was like, we're
just gonna watch it and to see if he's gonna
(22:18):
even do Peekable, Like we just thought maybe he gonna
do peopable. There's no way chance he thought he was
gonna wrap my verse. So that that shit was crazy, bro,
Like that's an honor, right, Like all right, Like being
there would have been crazy, but like him doing your
verse makes it so much more important. Yeah, that's even
better than me being there, bro, because he's doing he's
(22:38):
going out his way to do my my verse. Like
you know that shit is like that shit is like
a good stain to have, a good score to have
like in a sense of like that shit's gonna live
with me forever, like you know what I'm saying, Like
that doesn't go nowhere, Like you know, it's now a
staple in my career and.

me the heads up, for sure. I was That was
crazy to have you there, man. We appreciate that for sure,
of course. Man. So the album on its wife. We're working. Yeah,
we're worried hard hard Bro. I'm doing as much as
(27:45):
I can as possible. Definitely, with everything going on, it's
either you know, stuff of this nature, just doing my
press or a show or album. Like you know what
I'm saying, like I'm not too much fucking off or
just going out my way to have unnecessary fun. As
(28:05):
dull as that might sound, me, being focused is fun
for me because you know, I get to reap the
benefits of it, and no locking an equal success. Yeah,
I gotta make this shit count at the end of
the day, you know what I'm saying. But I'm working.
Like I said, I got a lot of strong solo records.
It's the feature side now that I need to execute.
(28:26):
And I feel like it's coming up. Like you know
what I'm saying. It's a lot of stuff and talks.
A lot of big artists have reached out to me,
see me opens to different things. I guess it's just
really seeing what fits the world of the album. Like
it could be a great song from a great artist,
but if it don't align with the album, it's gonna
(28:46):
make it a little more difficult because you you know,
I mean, I would love that, but I don't want
to be thirsty and just throw off the whole vibe,
you know what I mean. So there's so much to
be considering it, would you so hands on? Bro? Yeah? Bro,
like it to be considerate of. And but I know,
once I get the features, then I start synchronizing. I
(29:09):
started doing all the in between stuff that's basically the
glue to the pieces of the album. Like you know
what I'm saying. So I'm working hard. I'm telling you,
we believe it, Bro, We believe it. Man, you can't
wait to hear it. We watching though. No, Yeah, it's
gonna get right man. We're gonna see you at the
gr next door. Yeah, see you on stage. We'll be

I appreciate it. Brother, Yeah, yeah, yeah that what two
times is crazy? Yes, sir? Got that sound, It's got
that hike sound you feel yeah yeah yeah, A little
growth to it is definitely there though. Yeah right, like yo,
thinking back to like my World twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen,
(00:43):
twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen, my world right from to now,
dog Yo, what a journey home. Yeah, the work is
being put in, brother, Yes, her skin Yeah, and I
know at first you wanted to be like a conscious rapper.
Yeah yeah, right, who's your inspiration? Was it like common?
I hate you sound so cliche? I said, it was
definitely just the whole TV when it was on like
(01:05):
the High Power era. You know what I'm saying. Definitely
GD A lot of people sleep on him. He don't
do it no more. But I'll give it to Big
Shan too. But I was really referring to Tiger, like
Tiger early days, like black thoughts and shit like that.
Like that was the vibe, bro, that's what you feel
me like for sure. Yeah, me and the homies we
(01:25):
prided ourselves on knowing how to rap, so the conscious
way it was was the move. But it started off
with as far as like rapping, it was a group.
You were in a group, right as is a group? Yeah? Yeah?
Is a group? Yeah. We started off like ten deep,
like crazy, like ten DP. Now is including me is
(01:45):
down to like three four you know what I'm saying.
But I love it, you know what I'm saying on
this strong survive you know? Yeah, for sure, it really
starts out that way right. You know when I got
in the radio, it was four of us. Now it's
just me all good? Oh good? You still keep in
contact with the other members, Yeah, yeah, them my brothers.
I talk to them all the time, play the game
(02:07):
group chat like my spare time. We just go out
and have fun random more. No, they all still rap.
They all still rap. Uh no disrespect. No, No, it's good.
They all still rap. Like you know, I'm very in
tune with that type of ship. I still give my
input and help them out, like you know what I'm saying.
Now that I'm at this level, it's like so much
free game I can give them. So yeah, yeah for sure, boys. Yo.
(02:30):
So at this point, do we have a stack of
songs that we're just picking from for for singles? Uh?
In a sense yeah, technically yeah, honestly yeah, yeah, due
just got a shitload of song We got an album,
right yeah. Yeah, I've been working, bro, I've been working
and I'm still working. I just hate to use the word,
but I just want to really perfect this ship. You
(02:52):
know what I'm saying, you have, I don't want to
rush it, and you know what I'm saying, it's just
it gotta be right, like you know what I mean,
just due to the men that I'm in right now,
you know, I got to come out the gates swinging,
like and since you know, this album has to be
my version of Good Kid Mas City, Like it has
to be that, and I'm not taking it nothing less,
you know what I mean? You want to drop a
(03:13):
classic and absolutely like I have to. I have to.
I absolutely, we have to.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Is that a mixture of both, like that pressure that
you put on yourself and everyone else putting that pressure.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
On you or yeah, but to be honest, again he
sound cliche, but I do love the pressure, Like you
know what I'm saying. I feel like if I don't
have the pressure, then I'm gonna get the sense of
kicking back. And I think it was just something I
grew up with, like even being in school, like if
my mom wouldn't on my ass, then I'm not getting
(03:46):
it done. And I had this thing like I was
very last minute, like it'll be the end of the
school year, and they tell my mom like, yeah, we're
gonna hold them back and I'll just lock it. I'll
be good. You're best under pressure. Yeah, yeah, I surely
got a third grade one. I did homework every day.
I never turned it in though I had a backpack
full right hand to god. My teacher called my mom,
(04:08):
told my mom, I'm like he do homework every day
and got my ass whup And then she was like
where your homework at? And she went through my bag.
We had these like these monthly calendars, right and you
fill them up and you get some free pizza from Domino. Yeah,
I kid, you know I filled up like four months
once I turned all my homework in.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you just didn't want to turn in your homework.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I don't know, Like I grew up shaw and just weird.
You have to stand up in front of the class
and like go drop it, and I just never turned it.
I don't know why you're reading out loud. Was fucking death. No, no, no,
I was cool with that. I thought it was just
more like the presentation ships and ship like that. But
I don't know, I just never but I will always
remember that, Like I don't know what I was on, bro.
(04:51):
That was very dumb with me. But yeah, you tell
your mom.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You need a poster board paper like the night before you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Need yeah yeah, or some type of project tomorrow. But
like yeah, lock in and I always get through it.
So like in times like this, I think about stuff
like that, like you know what I'm saying, kind of
stuck with me, but yeah, I feel the pressure, but
(05:18):
it's a good pressure, you know what I'm saying. I'm
mentally there and I don't have too much distractions, and
I got the right people around me, so it's not
for sure gonna work out. We've been dropping a lot
of projects, bro throughout the years, right, But do you
consider yourself a new artist? No? I don't, but to
others I might be. I would say I'm a new
(05:40):
artist growth wise, because this is the first version of
this hike, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, there's
I've never been this way before, you know what I mean.
So in a sense, yeah, I'm new thanks to the growth,
you know what I mean. Yeah, we're watching it, bro,
we see it. It's insane. I appreciate it. It's really happening, bro.
(06:01):
Yeh fact, how many variations of Pekaboo is there? Would
you say? I think it's only two, the one y'all
heard and the one we did. Yeah. I just think
he just shortened it, like the original Pikaboo was a
lot longer, and we did like more different flows and
different casuses, like more going back and forth. But I
(06:24):
feel like he just did that to have more to
work with, which is great too. Yeah, of course it's
better to have more than less. Yeah, but with y'all
here was literally the beginning of the song, like that's
how it start off. Like he didn't switch nothing around,
everything extra, he just literally cut off. You know what
I'm saying, Is there a line that didn't make it
onto the version that we have now, not that you
(06:45):
wish would have made it, Not that I could remember.
I know one of the other segments. I think I
did another like set of like rapping on the Pikaboos.
There was another segment like he had me like rapping,
like like it was back back back. It was crazy
that that was pretty dope. I wish that kind of
made it, But that's probably it. I mean, y'all, maybe
(07:07):
a remixed dog.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Maybe you don't like to be challenged that in that
sense one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Hundred percent, just because I don't feel like I get
challenged enough just doing what I do in LA. It's
pretty like standard, and I feel like I've mastered the
LA sham. Like you know what I'm saying, it's not
getting born. But what is life without challenges? You know
what I'm saying. Like I love sporring. I love becoming
(07:32):
better and it shows you how good you really think
you are, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, I
love the challenge. Yeah, I love the challenge and it's
okay to lose as long as you know how to
you know what I'm saying. So yeah, that always makes it.
I feel like losses make it stronger than wins, to
be honest, you know what I'm saying. That's the truth. Yeah,
So talking about something that all the time you gotta
(07:53):
lose to win. Yeah, one hundred percent. Unred Hazy Chick
is here my j Yeah, sir, man, game time, let's
go back to that real quick. So like when you
drop game time, right, like, what what what's the intent
for game time? I love the production on it, man, Yeah, yeah,
I appreciate shout it dupree. You know, it's all in
(08:17):
the name man. Just honestly, it's literally game time, Like
you know, it's time for me to lock in that
I've already been doing and it's just showing that I'm
not letting up, you know, front of the song to
the video itself, like you know what I'm saying, it's
just standing on that like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, it was crazy, by the way.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, that's to me, that's my best video today. Yeah,
that shit is crazy. But in the.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
YouTube Comms was like, Yo, you know he dropped a
bag on this video.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, sure, I'm glad they can do. Fact, we better
fucking notice how much we paid for this ship. Let's
put the working. We shot twelve hours eleven to eleven man,
Yeah that's that ship. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. That was
like my first real like it felt like a movie set,
like we took a lunch break and catering, like that's right,
(09:05):
real actors in there. So it was crazy. Did you
take a moment to like take that in? Yeah? And
I was working. If I wasn't shooting the scene, I
was changing clothes. I wasn't changing clothes somebody in my
ear telling me about something or I gotta I want to.
I'm very hands on, so I want to see how
sh it is being done, and you know what I mean,
it just makes me more confident in doing it. So
(09:29):
it was it was on the goals, moving fast.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You're always fitted to did you have were you like
your creative director for the.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Fits or yeah? Yeah, for sure, Like I take part
in that too. I don't. I don't like to be
dressed because you know what I mean, motherfucker don't know me.
You know what I'm saying. So, uh, we did have
a stylist come through. But my one rule with the
stylist you can pull the pieces and bring the clothes,
but I'm putting it together, you know what I'm saying. Okay, yeah,
(09:57):
fair enough. Again, it's just a confidence thing, you know
what I'm saying. And give me a little when I
go out there, you know, when I put this together.
So yeah, for sure? Yeah, Like, are you sure this
looks good? It's a thin line between fly and Corny
sog know, and to them, you look good, but you
(10:19):
don't feel good. Yeah, that's the problem, and that's the
loss right there. That's a lot. And if I do
end up looking at Corny, let it be on my
time because I chose to do that. Yeah. Yeah, so
there's no one else to blame but yourself. Facts. I
can live with that. Yeah for sure. What was it
like opening up and being on tour with Shortline Mafia? Man?
That was dope. Soon of the best times of my life. Yeah,
(10:41):
how were you? Uh, there's like twenty three, twenty twenty three,
y'all a wild and that was twenty three. Yeah, it
was crazy, It was yo, and nobody Nobody's never asked
you that question. Yeah, shut out the my guys. Uh.
(11:03):
It was crazy times. But I also took a lot
from that, Like you know what I'm saying, And I
always say, I don't feel like people give Shortline the
flowers they deserve, like like those was the first artist
I've seen like around my age, like the young niggas
like really torn the country off the West Coast, saying
(11:26):
like a lot of motherfuckers can't do that. Even bigger
West Coast artists that was bigger than them could not
do that. Like I'm watching them sell out the Webster
Hall in New York, I'm watching them sell out Missouri, Atlanta,
and I'm with him. I'm seeing this ship and it's
like it's not even like the people just showing up,
like no, these motherfuckers screaming the words word for words.
(11:48):
So crazy it was. Yeah, it was an amazing experience.
And you know what I'm saying, we had hell of fun, Bro,
I'm sure there was a lot of fun going on.
God take me back so much doing bro you memories.
Uh and back then short Line too, they were they
(12:11):
were going crazy. Yeah yeah, Nah, that ship was nuts, Bro,
That ship was nuts. I don't know, I'll tell you
what crazy. I don't know. They're gonna be mad at
me for telling this, but I think it was in Missouri,
right and uh, I guess they like brought some girls
(12:34):
onto the bus, but they didn't know Phoenix and Jez
didn't know that they girls the actual girls full out there.
I think still remember this. They got them and they
girls followed the tour bus and got on the ass.
That ship was so crazy they got caught for sure.
(12:58):
That ship was crazy, bro. It was so much that
crazy shit because you gotta think about Shortline Mafia. They
was really like fifteen twenty deep in all time broh,
Like I fucked it all over it out yeah yeah,
yeah yeah. I don't know how they did it, but
they did it, bro. Like I said, that shit was epic.
I got to see like the rest of the country,
(13:18):
like my first time in Cincinnati and all this shit.
It was like thick snow and you know what I'm saying.
And also with them, it taught me how to work
a crowd because at times they did have a lot
of openers and the crowd would get wrestless, like Nigga
were here for Shoreline, Like they would start changing shortline,
and you rapping the people that are working the hardest
of the people that are opening up a toy. So
(13:40):
I did so many days. I just start learning, like
I never got boot off stage, and not because I
was just so crazy on stage. I just knew how
to read the room. You know what I'm saying. If
the crowd wrestlers, I'm not going to go do my
whole set. I'm going to go do my bangers, crowd
and gauge and I'm out. You know what I'm saying,
Bring someone out from their town. That's what I did.
(14:00):
They did Webster Hall. I kid you not, we did
Webster Hall. New York is a tough crowd. New York.
They don't play that shit. So I'm already hearing niggas
get booed off stage. And when I went I brought
out Rich from New Jersey, so they went crazy. You
know what I'm saying, Like Rich, he came out for me. Yeah, yeah,
I'm telling you I knew. I knew the playbook, bro,
(14:23):
like they wouldn't get me fu Yeah. I mean tonight,
bro Hell and they will boo New York. They talk
about your feelings. They don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
And don't give a fuck. Hey, Jack, you mentioned that
women will find out what you find out earlier on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
What about Yeah, I had I have an inclination of
how many features you already have on the album? Okay,
I feel like it's a solid three and correct me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So far, so far, so far, like officially.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Not officially, but I do think Rowdy is one of them.
I think is another, and I think Tyler is one
of them.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I would love to have those on the album. That
will be crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You confirming kind.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Of I want to have on Man, for sure, it's
somewhere around there. You know you're not off though. I'll
tell you that you're pretty close. Women will find out. Bro,
you're pretty fucking I get that. Look you're very very close.
But that's the stage I'm men right now for the album,
(15:35):
which is crazy bet that. Like I've done so many records,
I got real strong records already, I'm just missing those features.
So now I'm doing my rounds and you know, gathering
those up, getting it done. Bro. You pulled up the
Tyler creator and said a fade or a feature, what's
it gonna be? My ship? And then post for a
picture and told him say, gee, I'm not giving them
(16:00):
no time to think about it. Let's take this slip.
You think about it on your way home. Furet for
either Yeah, yeah, yeah, this music is my life. We're
gonna put my life on the line. We're gonna squabble up,
shoot it out with you. Give your feature, We're gonna
fight my Yeah. As long as we can. Yeah, as
(16:21):
long as we can make beautiful, creative music, we can scarred,
knuckle up. As many times you want to talk, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
That's it man, Yo, this year is a pretty big
year for you too, with birthdays that you're gonna be
your thirtieth birthday or anybody.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, No, I'm not too big on birthdays. I really
don't care for God and usually birthdays bro. Yeah, usually
when I do like do something like very last minute.
The only time I really like playing something out and
did something for my birthday was twenty twenty three, Like, uh,
(16:56):
I just flew to Paris by myself, spend like four
or five days is up there and just was chilling.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah. I had like a morning routine, like I feel
I could live out there for sure. Like, yeah, the
people at the market already knew me because I was
going there every morning. Like you know what I'm saying.
It was dope, man, I had living another life for
a minute. Yeah, like it was dope, fucking feeding pigeons
and ship. It was crazy, man, Yeah, crazy reading a
book under the Eiffel Tower. Yeah, like it was yeah.
(17:28):
And I told you I was about myself. Like I
went to a restaurant the day of my birthday. I
kind of feel like it was like God, Like I
was just chilling the waiter. He was black. He looked
at me like you wrapped, but he friends, he got
the little accent and ship. He was fucking with me.
Then like another waiter came and I was eating dinner
(17:50):
by the Eiffel Tower. And it's like at a certain
time it started like doing a little sparkling ship and
the waiter lady was like, when me take a picture
for you? Like it was crazy, bro, it was crazy.
It was crazy. It was cringing. Yeah, Like it was like, honestly,
didn't even need nobody, Like you know what I'm saying,
But it was crazy. I found me a never I
could never do. You could never do nothing like you
(18:14):
never do. I would love. That sounds so good when
you got a wife and kids at the house. I
would love to do that. Yeah. I'm the first born though,
so it's like, oh, yeah, you used to doing ship
by myself. You know what I'm saying. You have to
be your own grown up. Yeah, yeah, you have to
sign your own permission slip and I found a photographer
out there on TikTok like I have to. I was
(18:35):
the searchion on TikTok founder. She was cold. It worked out, dope,
it worked out, man. Sad. That sounds like when you
went to Italy, Bro, you went your son? No, yes,
fire people on them for they think they hit Americans.
But yeah, I had a great experience. It's like yours.
No fact, food is great. Did you ask cargo or
(18:56):
anything local from there?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I did, I I think I did. I think I Bro,
Really is it good? What it taste like? You know?
I did that? That's the nail. Hell, we're not doing
snail right. I didn't eat it. I would have tried,
and fuck it, I would have tried to. Is there
anyplace else he'd like to kind of travel? Maybe do
one of those again. I do want to go to
(19:21):
I think I want to go to like West Africa.
Like even when I went to Paris that was my
first time going out the country. I'm like, you a
fucking sellout. Why do you come over here first? Take
your staff beca like you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
you're a fucking shoutout, like you want to come over
here and ball out in front of the mirror. But
(19:42):
you know what really hit me is that it's the demographic. Yeah,
it was just a demographic. It was a lot of
black people out there. But I'm like, pars sit on
top of Africa, like it was a lot of colonizing
going that way. And I'm like, so it made sense.
So it even hit me harder. I'm in the airport,

(20:04):
know they speaking straight French. I'm just like, damn, that's crazy.
So I gotta go to Africa, bro, Like I have

learn any French? Fuck No, I start trying to learn
French once I'm leaving, Like it's crazy. I swear to god,

the the overly proud vegan, like you know what I mean,

like I like to take my people's too, and I'm
not you know, I make dude, like even when we
go out to eat places and they might not have
nothing from me, I'll just eat side or some ship.
But like there you go. Yeah, I'm like, I'm not
like too vocal about it, but it's just like my
thing because a lot of people can't do it. But
you know what I'm saying, it's just a meat thing.

verse makes it so much more important. Yeah, that's even
better than me being there, bro, because he's doing he's

what I'm saying. It's a lot of stuff and talks.
A lot of big artists have reached out to me,
see me opens to different things. I guess it's just
really seeing what fits the world of the album. Like
it could be a great song from a great artist,
but if it don't align with the album, it's gonna
(28:46):
make it a little more difficult because you you know,
I mean, I would love that, but I don't want
to be thirsty and just throw off the whole vibe,
you know what I mean. So there's so much to
be considering it, would you so hands on? Bro? Yeah? Bro,
like it to be considerate of. And but I know,
once I get the features, then I start synchronizing. I
(29:09):

glue to the pieces of the album. Like you know
what I'm saying. So I'm working hard. I'm telling you,

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
