King, Carmen, it's been ninety five, man, Compton av in
the building. How you doing so doing fantastic. The very
first thing you said to me was living.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
A dream, living a dream, you know, man, being able
to be out here again with another one. You gotta
be blessed in this industry, for sure. I'm living a dream.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Ain't that the truth? Let's talk about that because I
mean when we first were introduced to you, it was
all about running that money, your money. You'll get your money, right.
But I mean over the last few years, the industry
hasn't always been kind. And now you find yourself with
a hot one. You find yourself with one that's going viral.
(00:38):
You find yourself with something that's catchy, that good. Yeah, yeah,
I mean everybody's singing it, everybody's rapping along with it.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
How does it feel? And talk about over the.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Last few years from when you were introduced and we
got to know you to.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Now most definitely really really young, right, I was able
to grow up do some really good things for my family.
You know what I'm saying. I'm a businessman, a boss man,
a student that I'm still am no matter what, still
learning the business and being able to make this thing,
especially when me being independent, like I say, that's why
I walked in. The First thing I say is living
a dream. Yeah. When you walk through doors like this
(01:12):
and you see familiar faces and you see the crowd
responding like they did seven eight years ago, that's always
a blessing. Bro. So living a dream.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, let's talk about it, man, because this is one
of those songs in my opinion, it's going international. You
see people from Nigeria, you see people from Thailand where
you recently went to Thailand. You see people over in
Europe talking about that good yah ya. This is that
song that takes you to that next level if you
feel me. What about doing international going to Thailand, seeing
(01:42):
people from Africa hitting you up talking about yeah man,
that's that good. Yeah right there.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, that's the new. That's the new. I've been, you know,
pretty famous where I come from from a long time.
But the sun crossover Germany and Australia, old soccer, Japan
and Thailand and Nigeria, Africa just in general like to
see it other, you know, and they speak more languages.
Being able to see them on my comments reping their
(02:08):
flags like where they're from and stuff like that. It's
like it's a it's a I keep going back to
living a dream. I see more than the How can
I say that I'm humble by being able to with
the technology today to actually show everything so I see
all the tiktoks everybody like we are were what one
hundred and seventeen thousand people did tiktoks to the record
(02:30):
over three hundred views ndred three hundred million views, three
hundred million, ye million views on TikTok, watching ESPN, watching
all the sports, everything, jump on it. Like I said, man,
I can ask for more right now, I'm living a dream.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And that's what I was going to ask you about
because where you're from, you don't see these stories right
all the time. Where you're from, you're happy to make
it to a certain age. How do I know that?
Because that's the way it was for many of me
and my friends. So with that being said, what is
it like, knowing where you're from, being able to take
(03:05):
care of your family now and looking back and saying,
not necessarily that we made it, because at the end
of the day, we're going to continue to strive to
be even better, but to look back and say, you know,
what I made something out of myself.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And this is just the beginning validation that that thirteen
year old boy that they thought it was crazy that
chose rap, he was right the whole time. Right, you
know what I'm saying, I finally get to say that,
and you know, just looking out for the youth, all
the kids that look up to me now as I
was a kid and I looked up to Dre Snoop Quick.
You know what I'm saying, Rest in peace Mossburg thing
like that rest in Peace pot So not even a
(03:42):
West Coast thing. I'm a big Nelly fan, so let
me go ahead and throw that out. Just people that
got talent and having this melodic form of being able
to express So, like I said, just to be in
the shoes right now being a leader of the new
school or you know, whatever the case may be. I
feel good about it. I feel good the fact that
I can keep coming with these unlimited ideas. Right as
(04:03):
far as my creative me never falling out of love
with this thing. I'm still in love like when I begin,
and I fight to fight like everybody else no matter what.
And I've seen you mention that, Yeah, I made it
to a certain point, Do I have some more work
to do? Yes, we always have work to do because
this is gonna be a generational thing for me. I'm
doing this thing for my daughter's kids. Kids came in
(04:27):
one thing.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You said, you're gonna continue to learn, You're gonna continue
to get lessons, and I know that you're close with
Snoop most definitely. With that being said, he's the guy
that I look to and you think about from where
he was with Doggy Style Murder was the case to
now being on shows like The Voice.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
My brother is.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Going to the Olympics again. I'm sure you've learned some
tremendous lessons from Snoop. What are some of the gyms
that he's taught you over the years.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh, let me give you a gym outside of Snoop first,
take something that he taught me. Also, So I did
a show in right before COVID in Australia, okay, and
I had a layover in Fiji and I went up
here and talked to the hotel person that was checking
us to our room and stuff, and she was like,
what do you do you rap? You look like yeah,
And I'm like, you know rappers like from you know
(05:18):
LA area like counting area, and I start mentioning, I
don't want to say the names, don't disrespect nobody. But
I mentioned everybody right and I said Snoop. She said
no to everybody else kind of and she was like,
I said Snoop. She said, everybody knows Snoop Dogg exactly.
That's when you know he's mega. And one thing I
(05:38):
could share, which you as far as a gym that
he told me was he actually always called to congratulate
me and give me validation. Now I was doing the
right thing because I chose an independent route, which is
going to be a hard route even moving forward with
him having death row. Right now, I was able to
speak to him less than a week and a half
a week and a half ago, and he dropped another
one on me. He was like, bro, he was like,
it's easy to be like I can sign you, you know,
(06:00):
but I'll be a partner iv I be. You know,
he's he's I've worked that hard to where Snoop is
telling me I've done all the right things to where
he would do partners and be a partnership and things
that I have right now. So big shout out the dog.
We had a lot of other conversations, and on the
way here, I told my boys, there's a lot of
things that I feel like are just meant for me
and Dog right. No, the world doesn't need to know
(06:20):
it exactly. And that's a trophy when other people will
clout chase things that dog has said. Like dog told
me some stuff, and I got some stuff on camera
that I can put out right now and go viral.
But that moment wasn't for everybody. Me a dog and
I cherish that and I share that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So big shoutouts are snoop humble, Yeah, positive, definitely, Compton

you started to where you are now. I appreciate you

a word that is all encompassing and it can mean
multiple things. But to me, that ya ya is the
prize at the end of the rainbow. Okay, And I'm
gonna leave it. It's the prize at the end of
(08:24):
that rainbow, whatever that rainbow may be, but what you
may be going through in life at that time. Like
you said, you can be on that couch and you
can add a long day at work. Work is over,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
