Speaker 5 (03:30):
I'm from trenton, new
jersey man, about 30 minutes
from the city cousins rightacross the bridge, right up the
block same shit, just different,you know, yeah, different
language, but all the same shit,right?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
right for sure,
growing up in trenton dang,
that's not an easy place to comeout of, for sure, I mean that's
just not.
And so, growing up in Trenton,just give me a few of your
influence growing up and when Isay influences, I don't mean
like the people you see right onTV and shit like that.
I'm talking about like thepeople that's like even right in
(04:04):
your spot or like right outsidethe spot.
Give me a couple of them.
A few of them.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I mean, you know,
unfortunately, man, we was
influenced by all the wrong shit.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You understand what.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm saying so, you
know, from the porch.
We was influenced, of course,by the hustlers, niggas that had
the big cars, had the all thepretty women from the front seat
.
That was a fascination for anigga, that was a desire for a
nigga.
You wanted to be that,unfortunately, I say
unfortunately, because later on,as we journey through life and
(04:33):
we become men and understandthat some of the guys we put on
pedestals is really pieces ofshit.
You know what I'm saying.
Back door niggas that was aroundthem did all types of
underhanded things, had no moralcompass, no integrity, did
anything for the dollar.
But us, being kids, we wasattracted to the shiny shit, the
material shit.
You understand what I'm saying?
No, question you know what Imean.
I'll tell the young niggas nowlike it's a nigga getting up 5
(04:55):
o'clock in the morning beforethe sun come up on your block
you should be looking up toright now, because that's a
nigga.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
That's really really
on man shit.
They be the real man youunderstand what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
He'll phone call away
if the family needs some.
He checking on grandma once aweek.
You understand what I'm saying.
Yeah, he making sure therefrigerator full.
That's man.
That's the shit you reallysupposed to be like.
Damn, that's real man shit.
You know what I mean.
But yeah, my influences rapwise coming up in the city was
guys like Don Black, my man, DonBlack, Shout Out to Black.
He was like one of the guysterrorizing the mixtape scene
(05:26):
with Doo Wop.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Bounce.
Speaker 5 (05:27):

He signed to MCA.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
He from around my way
, Guys like Goldfingers.
He was signed to Nori.
He on the Reunion album.
My man, mike Meles, was signedto Soul Life Atlantic.
Sunshine Anderson All theseguys was some trend.
I was seeing them firsthand.
All of them was like big bros.
So seeing them firsthandwalking the same streets as them
you know what I mean beingaround them and then seeing them
turn up young was likeconfirmation for me.
(05:52):
Like you know what I'm saying,I could do this shit Like Fatal.
You know.
God bless the dead Fatal fromthe Outlaws from around my pop
way.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
So I will always see
the outlaws on the weekend, like
when I went to my pop crib.
Fatal might spin through withFoxy in the car.
You know what I mean.
It is what it is Fire.
You know what I mean.
But just you know them seedslike that, just planted them
seeds early on.
You know what?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I mean yeah, yeah,
okay, that's dope bro.
Shout out to Jaheim too.
So growing up with the localrappers in Trenton as early
influences and then you growinginto liking music and doing
music and those were your firstinfluences in music as well.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yeah, I'd say, jaheim
was probably one of my first
influences.
I was probably a nigga, I seenfirsthand.
You know what I'm saying,really, like you know, seeing a
nigga ride through and do a ridethrough singing and do an armed
robbery and ride off singingwas like some movie shit you
talking about Jaheim, thatsinger.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You know what I'm
saying?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Yeah, Like it was
like some movie shit.
So wait, you say, he what?
No, that nigga was like.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I heard them stories
too.
He was on some shit, yeah, Iheard that too.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Yeah, he was on some
shit, but he always sung His
whole family sung, his wholefamily sing, rather.
You know what I mean.
So the nigga literally ride upsinging like through an armed
robbery.
Ride off sound, you know whatI'm saying.
Like that nigga was really intosome shit?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, real shit.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
No real shit, but I
mean.
The thing about it was I was akid being around them niggas
right, and I remember that niggaplaying his first single on
tape, rob.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Markman.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Right Lil Jon, him
being like yo, I just signed
this deal with KG from Naughty.
By Nature, this is about to bemy first single.
I don't know what that means.
Then I remember coming homefrom school one day watching one
of those Sister Park new jointof the day, and from areas where
we don't see niggas make itvery often, we don't see success
(07:50):
very often.
So if we don't have them, earlyexamples of greatness, that
shit keep a nigga pushing toknow that I could do this shit.
I just seen my man make it.
I just seen my other man makeit, I just seen Fado in.
Then I'm riding my Popway.
I'm seeing Black in theprojects one day.
Then I'm seeing them on TV.
You understand what I'm saying,you need all that, rob Markman.
It's like it's a sense ofdirection.
Yeah, you need all that,Because what it does to the
(08:11):
nigga watching, the young niggaswatching, it's like I could do
that too.
You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Rob Markman yeah, so
that Okay.
So watching Jaheim and you gota front row seat to watching him
get on and that's inspirationalfor you to see him get on.
What gave you or what age wasthat where you started to play
around with music and spark todo music?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I started fucking
around early.
My cousin got shot and came tostay with us from North Carolina
and he put me on to like WuTang and like Muddy Waters and
shit Redman, shit right.
And I remember back in the dayyou used to buy the single CD.
It had the dirty version, theclean version, the instrumental
on that, motherfucker.
I had the little radio.
We went radio to radio.
(08:59):
You know how that shit startedfor me.
So like you know what I meanmean radio to radio, little
freestyle tapes then, ciphers inthe park lunchroom and all that
.
You know what I mean right youwent through.
You kind of like, like when Iwas growing up, you had to go
through the ranks right now justget in the studio, put a song.
I'll get some artwork done.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Drop a video and you
had to really earn the respect
yeah, because I think that's howlike, that's how like they um
were like coming up, that's howthey like waved it out, so like,
if you was asked, they tellingyou yo, you, you should, you you
gotta go home, work on your orjust stop rapping right now.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I mean so that you
either stop rapping or you went
home and work on your and I'mgonna keep it real, though, when
you you jumped in one of theciphers and they get no reaction
, that was them telling youwithout telling you, yeah, hell
yeah, yeah, yeah, you know whatI'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
You just watch one
for the book, that's nasty work
right there Go crazy foreverybody else.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
And then you start,
you let your clip go and the
nigga don't say nothing.
That's nasty work.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, man Rap
discipline.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Alright so Trenton,
New Jersey, you know, because
I'm familiar with New Jersey nowbecause I went to school out
Trenton.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
This nigga went to
school in Trenton.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, last year I
tried to do CDL and all that.
I went to school in Trenton andthey was explaining everything
to me like how Trenton is andhow it separated East, whatever
the projects and all that.
So how was it like?
Because they said it was likereal bad.
(10:39):
Like when it come to gangs,they said it was real bad.
So how did that influenced yougrowing up?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Good question bro For
me, right when the gang culture
hit my whole neighborhood wason that shit, like we seen
Gangland when they did theGangland shit in China.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
All that shit was
like based on my neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
You feel what I'm
saying.
So like I mean it just was whatit was at that time.
You know what I mean.
Unfortunately, you know we'veseen a lot of people die, We've
seen a lot of niggas go to jail.
That should just shook the citylike upside down.
The city small, seven pointfive miles.
So any times a wave comethrough and it's a negativity
(11:19):
wave is going to hit hard.
It's a positive wave, Whatevercome through, is going to hit
hard because we so small andit's so intimate.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You understand what
I'm saying.
Trenton, like South Philly, Ithink, probably like you could
put like just South Philly.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
You know what I'm
saying.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
That shit came
through, shook the city up, man.
Unfortunately, you know what Imean.
People still think it's likethat to this day, like I'm mad
for Philly with just something Iwaited every day.
He's like I ain't on no gangblocking.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I'm like nah, niggas
ain't off that shit, that shit
over.
You know what I mean?
No, because it was on gang, itwas just a wave man.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
It was a wave.
Yeah, it was a wave.
It lasted for some years, doneyou know what?
I'm saying, like the paper didit, the paper did an issue in
the paper but they had, likeeverybody face that died like
gang related murders.
Dang, that shit was likecollage, like you know what I'm
saying.
Unfortunately, though, we don'tglorify that shit.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
No, that's not good.
Yeah, that probably shook thecity up.
That shit was wild.
You know what?
I'm saying so like coming in,coming into the game and and you
know you rapping, coming intothe game and you know you're
rapping, it's early on for youand give me your mindset on,
(12:34):
like, okay, I'm big O, I'mcoming into the game, I want to
drop my first tape.
Give me that.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Give me coming into
that.
So I was working with a guythat in the.
I was working with a guy thathad, like he was doing all the
mixtapes in the city as far as,like all the DJs, k Slade, god
bless his day.
Who, kid Clue?
They would all come to him toget their tapes done, okay, so
he was like the mixtapedistributor at that time.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
So it was they all
come into him to distribute.
They mixed tapes.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
No, he's pressing
them up for them.
That's what I'm saying.
So like, so, so like adistributor clue will go into
the crib, do a tape.
Yeah, and then he'll call itand be like yo, I need 3000 of
these CDs done Right and my manwill press them up.
My man, my man.
Kareem, you know what I mean.
So.
So he was doing everybody tapesat the time they was rapping.
They had a group called FirstHalf so I used to be with them
(13:26):
on some young boy shit and theywas terrorizing shit and they
put a CD out.
They put all these songs on theCD and put it out in the
streets and I would ride aroundwith them while they sold them
and shit.
I'm like damn, these niggasjust sold.

was going in the studio likeenvisioning me sending it to him
.
You know what I'm saying.
I know he gonna with this youunderstand what.
Speaker 3 (16:28):

Like how, how was Trentonreceptive to you at that time?
Like that, your first tape.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Okay, so the part we
left out is before the tape came
out.
I was I was heavy on the battlescene.
Speaker 3 (17:15):

Speaker 5 (17:16):
So I was battling, I
was earning my stripes, battling
everybody I was.
I mean, I was killing niggas,okay, and I was killing niggas

what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Washing niggas?
Yeah, nah, I was killing niggas, I mean hanging around series.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Like at that time
that's what it was.
You had to earn your respect inthat way.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
It wasn't like a
SoundCloud, it wasn't no YouTube
, it was like, like you knowwhat I mean and there were times
niggas from around my way done,put up thousands.
We used to hear about you whenI was a kid.
Like you, know what I'm sayingyeah.
No cap.
You feel what I'm saying.
(17:52):
So that kind of like brokeground for me.
Everybody knew I rapped anyway.
Before I put my first projectout I got a CD for some people I
already knew.
Speaker 1 (18:02):

that really grabbed the people,yeah, so so now you know it's
crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I didn't even have
the people yet, because the
first tape was like, soeverybody knew me for battling.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
The question was can
he make?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
a record.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
You understand
everybody.
You know the mixtape game wasso heavy.
You remember we used to havethe freestyles.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I was a nigga like, I
would do the freestyles, I
would do the battling, I woulddo the cyphers.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
OK.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
And now it was like I
can't make no songs.
You understand what I'm saying,so now rest in peace.
Tony, that did like PoorWretches' Teachers.
He did like a lot of that.
He created like a sound for theartists in Trenton in the early
90s.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Real records.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So my uncle was
signed in the 90s in a group
called Boulevard Massey, so hehad ties to him as a producer,
so he linked me with Tony D.
Tony D gave me my firstoriginal record and it was
called Golden Child.
It's on that same project, butI'm just saying that to say then
I started.
Everything was a process,though you know what I'm saying
(21:47):
like we put out one tape, cameback out, put out another tape,
put out another tape, and then,like I say around, like oh six,
I went to atlanta, got asituation.
I was down there for like threeyears and that was probably
like atlanta was probably myfirst time really experiencing
the industry hands-on.
okay, you know what I'm sayingyeah like I was just around the
way dropping mixtapes up untilthat point.
Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, like I was just
around the way dropping
mixtapes up until that point.
Okay, you know what I mean,yeah.
So when you say you, you wasdone, yeah, when you see the
industry hands-on, what do, whatdo?
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
so that means from
going around right, just being
in my local area rapping andknow I rap putting out tapes,
going to staples, getting coversand getting cds pressed up.
Now I'm in the a, I'm in thestudio with Akon.
I'm in the studio with JusticeLeague.
I'm in the studio with DallasAustin.
I'm gonna, like you know, I'msaying like like I used to read
about yeah in the magazines andread their names on the credits
on albums.
(22:37):
And now I'm like this with themin the still Don Cannon and DJ
Drama, and you know what I'msaying.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want to actually
shine real quick.
I'm heavy, like you know I wasyoung, but people don't like my
man five said this earlier likehe'll need and be understanding
how, like I'd be knowing theseerrors are certain stuff you
know I'm saying and that's cuzyou just gotta be a student.
Yeah, and it was one personthat you know that was in the
(23:07):
mixtape scene a little bit.
When it come to the child stateand rapping and DJing, and I
know he like beneficial to yourcareer, I want you to take us
through your relationship withAP, ap, dj, ap, all Purpose.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Damn how you know.
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, because the
mixtape scene.
That's how I know about him,but with you we had to say it
off camera, but, being as thoughI know, I figured out other
things.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Yo, you know what's
crazy right?
Shout out to my nigga AP Snap.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Real red AP was DJing
like as a kid, small kid, this
ain't no internet search.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, this ain't no
internet search neither this
some off camera, but I felt outAP was in it.
I love this boy man.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
AP really was the
first studio I recorded in See.
Ever no cap, damn he had thestudio.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's right, my boy.
That's right my boy.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
He had the studio in
the basement, right Damn.
Yeah, nigga had two Rottweilersin the big ass cage, damn.
He had the motherfucking popperstopper was like a stocking.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, and this shit
right here was like a wire
hanger.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
And that shit was
attached to like the poles in
the basement.
We were sitting on crates downthat motherfucker.
God bless his grandmother.
His grandmother used to makesure we had all whatever
equipment we needed at the time,and there was a group of us.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
OK, so let me take
you down.
I was about to say I heard itwas you and like Up Power and
that.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
OK, ok, that project
came up, and that's actually how
I met the mixtape how oh.
That's the intricate piece thatI left out.
That's how I met the mixtapedistributor nigga, through AP.
But AP was DJing first as a kid, then he was rhyming.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
And he was also
producing first.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
He was a rapper.
Yeah, he was rapping, but hewas dj and he was producing, so
he was making the beats.
I sit down there with him allnight make the beats and they yo
how to count bars.
All that like we really was,like we really was like brothers
, that one time like no cap,like I was staying with him and
everything and how I heard it,that's kind of like where you
learned to, like how you learnedcounting bars and like I was
(25:22):
just broad talent by how youlearned counting bars and your
flow and your cadence.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I was just broad
talent you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Structure Like
structure, I heard an AP from a
rapper.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Nobody in his room
know, but he did something with
him.
I'm one of them.
Dudes, bro, I be listening tomusic.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Nobody knows yeah
facts, and I just remember AP.
Now you fucked me up with thatone.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
That's my thing
remember, yeah, so all right so
the ap shout out the ap.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
All pretty good um,
so all right.
So boom, I ain't lamborghini, Iturtle, like, I ain't speed.
I went back so you said you washands-on, you in a studio with
all these artists as you.
You know you hands hands onwith the industry and everything
(26:06):
, so all right.
So we notice a lot of artistsbe getting to that point.
You know, and everybody expectlike a hit song or blow up from
that artist, like, and all thetime it don't happen.
You know what I'm saying.
So you could tell stories allday about meeting this person
(26:27):
and doing that and that, but Iwant you to tell the audience,
like when you was hands-on withthe industry and stuff, what was
the things you thought wasgoing to happen from you being
in that predicament and itdidn't happen.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
That's a good
question and, to be honest with
you right being so naive,sometimes outside, looking in,
we think the game is this way,yeah, and we think what we see
is what it is and we think allthese niggas is really the real
niggas that they be rappingabout.
And when we meet these niggas,we going to rap and everything.
And to be totally honest andI'm telling niggas this on
(27:03):
camera, this is probably myfirst time ever saying this ever
If you do music and you lovemusic, that's a beautiful thing,
it's a gift.
But if you don't have no money,this is not the game for you.

they want to get paid

the market inside, watch howmany people see all this shit.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
We know that goes
back to what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, they want to
get paid everybody that's why
I'll be telling you you'll belike we gonna do, put I'll be
filling you like so.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
So I already know so
what you coming up and you know,
getting your craft, working onyour craft and now you like
known as one of the hottestniggas in Trenton, coming out of
Jersey too.
Not just Trenton, you, one ofthe hottest niggas coming out of
Jersey, the state.
I appreciate that you know whatI'm saying.
And then I mean we startgetting what you familiar over
here.
What was the first time youstart coming over the bridge and
(31:06):
who was the first Philly artistto embrace you and put their
arm around you?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
That's a good
question.
I'm going to keep it all theway tall.
When I came back from the A andmy situation went belly up.
I came back from the A and thiswas a time where I was working
with Shakira Stewart God blessher dad from.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Def.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Jam.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Right who I tell you
about the other day.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Yeah, who I tell you
about the other day.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, oh yeah, spend
two minutes on Shakir.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
God bless him.
So Shakir is the guy behindJeezy, behind Ross, behind a lot
of plays in the A for Def Jam.
He was signing all these guysand Shakir no bullshit.
I hate saying this, you know,because it's off the record, but
God bless him.
He was really trying to give mea situation, though.
You know what I'm saying.
He heard my music at StankoniaStudios.
We was getting a record mix.
He pulled my managers at theside at the time they was
(31:52):
pushing another artist.
He was like yo, your man cool,but this the nigga, we could go
get him a deal tomorrow.
You know what I'm saying, soGod bless him.
All that shit was confirmationfor me early on because, like I
said, these was guys I wasreading about.
So I always equate everythingto basketball.
It's like hanging up an AIposter and then you look to your
(32:12):
left and AI in the same roomwas telling you he the fuck with
your game.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Shock of one of them,
niggas.
I looked to.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
You know, like
getting that love from a nigga
you fuck with.
What was your question?
Again, my bad.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
On when you oh about
coming to the city.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
So I come back from
the A right Situation.
I went belly up.
We was just in the projects,now we down in the A 18 floors
up center city.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Living Now.
I got to pack up, take it backhome, so I come back, I'm in the
crib and I'm like damn Cosmic.
Kev don't know who I am.
And this was a time where theA&Rs would call the.
(32:48):
DJs and be like yo, you knowthis guy such and such and such,
and if they don't know you,it's like you got some work to
do, how the biggest DJ in yourarea don't know who you is.
You know what I mean.
And, coming from Trenton, eventhough we Jersey, our market is
Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Because we're Central
Jersey.
But when we go to the labels,our market is Philadelphia,
newark market is New York.
Yeah, you understand what I'msaying.
So they equate us withPhiladelphia.
So it's like if I'm callingCosmic Cab and he say he don't
know who you is, nigga, you gotsome work to do.
So long story short, I camehome, I'm in the crib.
I'm like, damn, how the fuckcan I tap in with Philly to kind
(33:21):
of, you know what I'm saying,get my buzz going.
So while I put my play together, tone Trump reached out to me.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
So Tone Trump going
crazy.
Shout to Trump.
He going crazy on Worldstar.
He come up my way, shoot avideo.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Worldstar.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Tony, yeah, worldstar
, tony Shoot a video.
So that was the first joint.
I had a record called NewSneakers so I said yo, you know
what, I'm going to remix it.
I'm going to put Gilly on it.
I remixed it, put Gilly on it,cut him a check.
So let's get that established,cut him a check right.
He plugged me right with Cav soI tell niggas all the time
(33:54):
right.
I did the business right andthe business created the
relationship to where Gilly'slast album.
I'm on that joint, me and Gillylike this.
I got like Gil family.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
But what I'm saying,
the point I'm making, is.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I don't know this
nigga from a can of paint.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
The fuck am I to come
in and lean in on him for a
favor?
The king of Phillies on, youwant it on.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
That's my man.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But what I'm?
Speaker 5 (34:14):
saying it came full
circle After a while Our
relationship got created off ofdoing business.
Seen Meek in the still Next dayI did a record with Meek and I
cashed.
Meek out, too Meek.
Still owe me a verse too.
That's my nigga.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Because you get
thrown right in the mix of that
Batcave.
Ever that Batcave Right.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
So I'm talking about
old Batcave.
I come in, I Meek, and O, Ipull him to the side.
I said, meek, I want to hollerat you bro.
No bullshit, right.
I probably shouldn't even saythis though.
No bullshit, right.
I'm just talking to cuz.
Last week, I think, I gave Meek$500, oj, feel what I'm saying,
that $500.
I gave Gil $1,000.
I gave Meek $500.
And guess what?
(34:59):
Everybody in the city afterthat fell in line $1,500, the
best investment I could havemade.
You know why?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I came into the
market with the top dogs in the
market, so everybody in Phillysaid well, if Gillian Meek won't
stand next to this nigga, hegot to be something.
He giving game out right, youknow what I'm saying.
Pay attention.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Everybody in Philly.
Look it up, anybody you canthink of.
In Philly I probably did arecord with Never spent a dollar
again, because I came in withtwo of the strongest niggas Back
to back then, and then theicing on the cake was Cosmic Cav
.
I probably did a come up showmore times than niggas in Philly
, no cap, and took all my niggasup there and let them rock out
(35:37):
Jay-Z style.
You understand what I'm saying,but the point I'm making is
Philly embracement fit the wayI've been embraced in Philly.
Right, niggas out my way, hatethat state.
They hate that shit.
Oh, they hate that shit.
Oh, you fucking Philly niggas,oh, they hate that shit.
Speaker 1 (35:54):

Speaker 1 (40:58):
I really wanted 16.
I ain't want to play myself.
Speaker 5 (41:01):
I said chill.
So my man booked him out, myKiss again.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
You had him on that
mixtape.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
Yeah, yeah with Big
Mike, yeah yeah.
So my man Book, kiss, was thelocks I pulled in.
Sheik pulled me in, oh ah ah.
They didn't know who I was, butthey showed me love.
I really wanted to let a clipgo then, but I just you know
what I mean.
You got to read the room.
So I say all that to say I'm inBatcave, major Figures working
on a reunion album, so I hadjust laid a verse right.
(41:33):
So I'm in there.
They're playing my verse, backDoor swing open, gil and Kiss
walk in my verse playing throughthe big speakers and shit.
So everybody like mm, mm, mm.
So Kiss like Bump, who thatBump like?
That's my man, oh, he likethat's you, he like oh man.
And from there it was on.
(41:54):
You feel what I'm saying, butit was multiple times I've been
around.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
But that's the
reaction you wanted though.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Yeah, but it was the
right setting.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Right.
Speaker 5 (42:03):
It was a lot of times
I could have jumped out the
window and played myself Right.
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
But I, I know how to
read the room.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
I tell niggas that
too.
Read the room is superimportant, because that can
really get your access denied orget your access granted you
know what I'm saying.
Nigga, walk in your studiosession the beat playing, they
start rapping and shit.
You be like man.
Who the fuck, who the man isthis you?
Speaker 2 (42:24):
know what I'm saying?
Real shit, though, like who thefuck is this Calm?
Speaker 5 (42:27):

But now I tell niggas all thetime, once a nigga fuck with you
and fuck with your energy, itmake the music easier.
Yeah, so now me and you sitdown and doing this.
If a beat come on, I'm in thestudio.
I might be like, yeah, bro,what you got for this, because
we done already.

You got a feel for me as aperson.
The transition to the music isway easier Versus as you walking

and I'm like come on, cuz.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Like you blow my shit
, right?
Speaker 5 (42:53):
You understand what
I'm saying.
We ain't even chopped it up.
I don't even know your name yet, or nothing.
You know what I'm saying Like,but it's just.
You know music etiquette though, man.
You learned that from trial anderror, yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
You know what I mean.
No, go ahead, go ahead so whenyou finally do meet Kiss and you
get the proper introduction orwhatever you know, because you
was going on with Kiss at onepoint in time.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
Yeah, I was with the
so Raspy.
I was with the so Raspy camp.
So when we met Kiss after I metKiss at the thing, my man, on
my way, did a feature with himand I happened to be on the
record, so I lined that up webrought Kiss out the train and,
um, from there our relationshipgrew.
Okay, you know what I mean.
Organically though, but yeah,but business organically, but
(43:42):
also with business right, andthen from there it was all love,
from there say no more so allright.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
So what?
What year would you say that?
Was that so raspy?
Speaker 5 (43:55):
uh, this was probably
like right before the pandemic,
damn oh shit, okay, so allright, boom so oh damn well when
you started, but go ahead.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
No, no, I wanted to,
um, to touch on a specific part
of your career.
So like I'm not going to lie,like you know, I'm 26 years old,
so I always like heard these,knew like how, how hard you was,
(44:36):
how was OT you and OT the realcollabs on, because OT the real
was real close with Dunny, whichwas my engineer, and then my
brother Zeke worked in therewith Dunny and then my brother
Zeke worked in there with Dunny,so OT the Real was in that mix
(44:57):
with us and he just was smokingman and I remember you was
somebody not, if not the most,you was somebody.
He really was like, yeah, hehere.
So how did y'all even meet?
How did that even come about?
Speaker 5 (45:11):
So OT, ot was
recording.
So for those that don't know,we was all recording in the same
studio 444 building.
It was Mike Jurge.
It was PI's studio.
Rug was around the corner.
Then Mike Jurge moved to Cali.
Rug took Jurge's room over.
Pi was right here and Dunny wasaround the corner.
So, that building was like andthen Pop Trax and then was
across the hall too.
So that building was constantlymotherfuckers in and out, in
(45:35):
and out.
Once I linked with PI, myaccess was so granted, bro, I
was coming up here with a weekworth of clothes.
So I come up here with a weekworth of clothes.
Cuz, catch the train up thisjoint, go shower at PI Mob Crib
in Camden and be right back inthe studio every day All up to
my flight.
I tell niggas all the time thatwas college for me.
Speaker 1 (45:55):

Mom Crib, no bullshit, I comeright back to the store.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
That shit was like,
that was my college for me, bro.

That's work, that's
mobbing, but that's how I was
able to be in everybody'ssession, like Kour, like Chorus
Sessions or Melody Sessions,lights, jermaine, louis V I was
in everybody's sessions.
Everybody Lee Mazin, everybodyfucked with me.
So I was able to be around, sitin their sessions and shit.
So, long story short, ot wascoming in there, started coming
in there to record and OT thisis where I was fucking with Fat
(46:24):
Joe.
Ot pulled me to the side andwas like yo man, let's do a tape
.
And at first I was like damn,let's do a tape.
But I fucked with OT.
It was hard.
I was like, yeah, fuck it,let's do it.
We did five songs.
We knocked that shit right out.
And then what I say about OT OTput me on.
Ot I think was managed byBreezy at the time.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I think he still is
man Shout out OT man Right right
, so they kind of put me on tothe rollout.
Speaker 5 (46:51):
After we did the
music right, they lined up mtv
jams and bt jams and all theradio runs and that was like my
first time kind of releasing theproject the right way.
I was like, oh, okay that's howyou're supposed to do this shit
.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
You feel what I'm
saying and that was kind of yo
I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna telly'all something right, it's 2024
, we, we are in the 2020s.
Hip-hop was born 50, 51, 50years ago we are at a point in
hip-hop where you can't just behot and be signed.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
Yeah or be?
Speaker 1 (47:29):
hot and be hot in the
.
You gotta have them rollouts.
You gotta have them conceptalbums.
You gotta have that.
You gotta have certainknowledge, because I be seeing a
lot of you dudes just makingyou know okay.
So even if the song's hot,y'all just be making them and it
(47:50):
just be a bunch of music.
It just be a bunch of songsstacked up.
Your album name don't reallymean nothing, it don't really go
with no story.
There you go.
You didn't really lock in andgo on that interview and that
freestyle and that you feel me.
There, you go, it's the 2020s.
Speaker 5 (48:07):
And a lot of you
niggas get cute.
Don't forget that part.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (48:10):
Niggas, get a little
wave and get cute.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
If fucking Meek and
Travis Scott and A$AP Rocky's in
the weekends doing fuckingrollouts and shit what makes you
think you ain't going to haveto?
Do it, you're going to have toput extra mustard on your shit
Because they the top of the topFacts.
You know what?
Speaker 5 (48:30):
I'm saying Artist
development is very important,
bro, because a lot of niggasdon't understand that outside of
the studio is when the workreally starts.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Yeah, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (48:42):
You got the record,
all right, cool.
Now the work is how we get itto the masses.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
And how you're going
to conduct yourself doing it.
Speaker 5 (48:50):
You know what I mean.
Right, and on some real shit,everybody that hits you right
now.
You need to be doing theseplatforms.
I don't give a fuck who he is.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Right.
Speaker 5 (48:58):
Because you're not in
a position to turn nothing down
right now.
Right?
You know what I'm saying.
Every, every time a camera onit, it's somebody that don't
know who you is that you walkingaway from.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Man, when I see
somebody like on a on a rollout,
like when I see like they aboutto drop, I might reach out to
him and then and then respond.
I get back.
Boy, I'd be like only in phillythis will happen, yeah,
anywhere else.
People, where is that?
I'm there?
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (49:29):
like is this shit is
important, bro, but see this
what's going to separate theniggas that's going to be around
10 years from now versus niggasthat's?
I mean you might get lucky andget a run.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:41):
But what happens is
you get a run, you get cute and
you show your ass when you cooloff.
People remember that Facts andthey can't wait to remind you,
like no, no, no nigga.
Don't come back around withyour humble shit.
You got cute nigga youunderstand what I'm saying.
So it's like at the end of theday, I tell people I mean, of
course we can't do everything,but when you want a promo, run,
you know.
Look at, for instance, look atthe motherfucking political
(50:03):
campaign.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
The presidential,
that shit get on my nerves, but
they killing it.
Speaker 5 (50:09):

Yo, they got CEO Duke
on there, like I just feel,
with Kamala.
Come on, shut the fuck up what.
Speaker 3 (50:25):

important states.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Picking up back when

Speaker 3 (50:48):
So yeah.
So look that right there whereyou was just talking about where
, um, where where was it?
Where, where was your time?
Ot the rail right the, the i-95, that that's like one of the
most classic drones that y'alldid together.

because I started seeing a lotof niggas going off that beat
after that joint, that joint.
then they got a million viewstoo, and that shit was just like
I said.
We was preparing to run aroundand promote the album.
So this is the platform.
It's like when you rap nigga,okay, go to the platforms where
they want you to rap.
(51:36):
This is what we do.
This is second nature.
You understand what I'm saying?
So OT had the line we jumped onthe road me, ot, my man, og
Dave shout out to OG Dave at thetime and we did a little tour
in Boston.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
I'm about to say
because that platform at Boston,
yeah, you know what I mean andwe just ran around.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
But you know, like I
said, more importantly, I
learned from that situation andI applied it to my projects.
After that, everything got tobe set up the right way.
Like I said, of course we can'tcompete with the major artists
and the major labels, but we cando what we can't compete with
the major artists and the majorlabels.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
But we can do what we
can with our resources and what
we have I mean and make it onyour level.

Speaker 5 (54:54):
It's on all platforms
.
I knew Slay for a long timethrough DJ Radio.
Dj Radio was a guy that wasworking with under Slay Shade 45
.
He was pushing my music a longtime, like when I was in the A
the first time, and all thatshit.
So I knew Slay from then andthen me and Slay had went
through some shit and for real,for real, my man Pesh from
Atlanta shot the Pesh and MikeKnox really got us back together
(55:16):
Okay, no cap, I can't evenfront Got us back together and
my man Smitty, my man New York,smitty Talk is cheap yeah, for

And then after that we linkedup, Slay did the tape.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
And we was about to
lock in, shoot a couple of vids,
and and then you know one thingabout docs he always get people
together, bro.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
No, that's a fact.
He, you weren't up.
Man shout out not, that's a bigone, um, so all right.
So after the, after the ot therail you know you want ot the
rail y'all collab, um, I'm notgonna lie to you, like when you
search big o on platforms it'sjust too much, it's forever,
(56:02):
it's too much, never ending toomuch so I'm gonna keep it real
with you.
I don't even know likespecifically what project to
actual about, but what I, butwhat I am going to say is Like
you put your work on.
Yeah, bro, like you really likeit ain't even like when you say
(56:24):
oh one is this only in 2024 seefacts.
A lot of people can say that,like there's a lot of artists
that can say they've beenrapping since then, but not
releasing.
But they not releasing, theynot putting in the work, they
not rolling it out they gettinglazy for two years and then
coming
Speaker 4 (56:42):
back and you not on
that and it costs money you feel
me, yeah it costs money youknow what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
So what?
All right, so all right.
So so what?
All right, so, all right.
So you never had a major labeldeal, right?
Speaker 3 (57:01):
no, you never had e1
entertainment.
That's a big independent or anempire.
Speaker 1 (57:03):
That's what we're
going for all right, so for sure
, yeah, being that you're goingfor it now, yeah, being being as
though that said what gives youthe job to not quit like what
gives you the job to not say notright here it's been two
decades.
I ain't gonna say it ain'tworking out for me because I'm
big goo, you feel me, but I'mtrying to take care of my family
(57:26):
, all right and it ain't it'slike we'll give you the job that
don't be like man F this.
Speaker 5 (57:31):
First of all, I pride
myself into just putting your
head down and grinding.
So that's why I always said Isaid yo, if I upload this joint
on YouTube and it get 200 views,I don't give a fuck.
I'm still dropping Because Iknow, once my moment come,
people going to do the backlog.
Speaker 3 (57:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (57:50):
And they going to go
look at all my old shit.
Once one album take off for me,they going to listen to all the
old albums, the same way Nipseydid with the Victory Lap shit.
Once Nipsey had his moment,everybody went back and listened
to all his old shit.
So that's what.
On that aspect, keep me going.
I think for me, to be totallyhonest, giving up was never even
(58:11):
an option for me coming intothis shit, and if if you pay
attention to what I was sayingin the beginning of the
interview, it was about theexamples of greatness and the
seeds being planted early onyeah early on.
That's why people like withchildren right.
They say take your children onas many trips as possible so
they don't fall victim tothinking that the world is just
where they at when they becomeadults yeah well, they well
(58:34):
travel.
You know what I'm saying.
So with me, with those seedsbeing planted early on, I seen
people make it early on, so Iknew that it could happen.
So, the, so, the, the, thething in my head to say what if
this don't work?
Was I never even there?
You know what I'm saying.
I know it's gonna work, it'sjust not gonna work on my there.
You know what I'm saying.
I know it's going to work, it'sjust not going to work on my
(58:54):
time, right you?
Speaker 4 (58:55):
understand what I'm
saying.
Speaker 5 (58:55):
So it's like at the
end of the day.
I seen multiple people win, win, win.
You can't.
There's nothing you could tellme that's going to deter me to
be like yeah, bro, that shitain't going to work for you,
because I seen niggas get it,and way more niggas than not
mention.
You understand what I'm sayingso, at the end of the day, that
keep me going, the love and thepassion for music keep me going.
I think now, in the aspectwhere I'm at now in life is just
(59:18):
more so understanding thebusiness aspect of it.
And then looking at my city andlooking at artists like Fly you
know what I'm saying like Plaga, like Doe Stacks, like Bad
these are four battle rappersfrom my city that we're putting
together a group project withthem and putting a record
together with them, but just mebeing able to get in the game
and the knowledge, so it don'ttake them as long as it took me.
(59:40):
You know what?
I'm saying and that's the shitI'm working on the
behind-the-scenes shit.
You know what I'm?
Saying the love keeps me going,though I'm going to keep it
real to answer your questions.
Speaker 1 (59:49):
What's the biggest
song you wrote for somebody?
Because I know you pinning outhere, oh man.

it.
I'm really writing a lot of R&Brecords.

picking his brain, seeing wherehis brain at coming up with the
(01:01:04):

you, a lot of y'all out therewho you trying to be the main
act, or you're trying to make itas an R&B artist or a rap

You ain't got to have on allthe clothes and the valencies
and guess what put that pin?
Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
they gonna make sure
that check clear too.
All right, which one I heardwhich one?
Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
I heard what you
mccall.
It was a exclusive writer overat atlantic.
Like, like people ain't evenbelieve he wrote his own songs.
Rest in peace, rock.
Like he was a great songwriter.
He was great, great songwriter.
He was great, great songwriter.
I'm going to tell you how thelabels work, though.
Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
It's common sense,
though.
A label will cut you a check asa songwriter right Just because
you're a great songwriter andI'm a record label that got a
hundred artists.
I'm going to need you to writefor these artists anyway.
So why not give you a deal?
Because a lot of the greatsongwriters want to be great
artists, right?
So why not?
If I'm a label, why not justsign you?
Who cares if your album comesout or not?
(01:03:06):
I need you to work with myartists anyway, you understand
what I'm saying, so you're inhouse.
You understand what I'm saying,but I tell people all the time a
lot of artists don't understand.
I'll be like yo, bro, if thesongwriter is presenting the
lane for you to make some money,get the money and reinvest it
into your artistry.
And because, at the end of theday, you're making money, you
(01:03:27):
can reinvest it into you as anartist and you're gaining a
relationship with the artistyou're writing the song for.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
You understand what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (01:03:30):
Mm-hmm, Like this
shit is chestnut checkers, bro.
Everybody that make music got ahundred songs in the clip that
ain't nobody gonna hear.
Somebody can use them hooks,them ideas and some shit.
Speaker 3 (01:03:41):

hundred on them, j-zero still

This is probably the lastquestion I got for you Right,
your first one being the growthof ego, your last one being
being the Groove for Big O, yourlast one being don't tell me.
All I Can See Is the Money.
Speaker 5 (01:07:30):

German canon.
But what happened is I justuploaded a lot of my old

okay, okay, from Vegas.
All right, so your last one isFrom Vegas.
First one to grow for Big O.
What is the main?
Like the number one.
I guess you could call it arule or like a type of a motto
you go by when they come to thismusic stuff, with all them
(01:08:03):
years you put in um, I guess theone thing I go by when it's
kind of making music is justquality first.
Speaker 5 (01:08:13):
Um number two just be
yourself, bro, be yourself.
It's a million people out therethat see the world like you.
See it just gotta tap into, tapinto it.
You understand what I'm saying.
Niggas be thinking they got to.
Oh, niggas doing this, I got todo that.
Niggas doing this, my nigga, beyou, whoever you are, because
that translates to the music.
When you fortunate and tryingto be other than self, niggas
(01:08:34):
going either, if we don't catchyou through the music, when we
get around you, we're going tocatch you and we're going to
know, like this, nigga, $3 bill.
You understand what I'm sayingBe you.
Quality first.
I love the music.
So at the end of the day, Ialways want to put out the best
quality and as long as I keephearing myself getting better
each project, I know I'm headedin the right direction.
You know what I mean.
