Speaker 3 (00:07):
Come on, man, let's go best of both worlds. Congratulations,
crazy joint man. You got some feelings out there, right man, Yeah,
a story to tell. A lot went on in there,
nine songs, man, and you poured it all in there.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Facts most definitely, I was just talking to them.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
This process was kind of different because a lot of
these songs came from a lot of different times, like
legendary foes and.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Came out of beasts hell who really make it?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Recorded all of those through the same night right after
I won championship, and then Damage I recorded that in
my room.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You know what I'm saying this season. So this project
has been a lot of years, and.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
These songs are pulled from different spaces of in your
life time.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, which is crazy. When I was still like the
music I made during my freshman year.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's probably like all the realist music because yeah, that's
that's the time I moved away from my family, went
to college, had to regroup, readjust and so that was
probably the craziest.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's time to be a big girl. Huhah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Literally, my mama said, you put your big girl.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, talk about that process. How much have you gone
from that freshman now man?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I grown so much. But the most thing I've seen
in my growth is my confidence.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know, like you come from high school and you
have all met down, All American, you bigged, all time
scoring leader, feel me, and then you go to college
and you with Okay in their state there to Metdwnald
All American, they're the all time scoring leader. So it's
like a whole lot of ones on one team and
you just gotta you know what I'm saying, like adjust
to that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And so for me as a freshman, it kind of
like kind of like it was hard. I was calling
my mom mo, I'm like I'm ready to go home, Like, ma,
come get me, like feel me.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Like my mom taught to coach moke coach Mokey, like
this this is just what happens.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Like you know what I'm saying, just gotta let her grow.
And I'm just glad that I stuck it through a
lot of kids.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
They hit the portal, a lot of kids, they do
all that, but kind of just stuck it through.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It turned out good for.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You and your father, right shot the camouflage no longer
with it? Right, But did your mom ever remind you
your dad would never allow this, Like you're not coming home.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You got to put the work in, yeah know, Like
you know, I never got to meet my dad, So
the only thing I could hear is from when my
mama tell me, you know, she I listened to his
music a lot, though.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
His music is that never give up, Like you know
what I'm saying, You got to put one foot in
front of the other, you know what I'm saying. So
you know, I always have that in the back of
my mind, and I ain't even quitting. But it's just
like you know, when life hits you for real, you be.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like, like, you know, sometimes it feels like, shoot, do
I gotta quit? You feel me?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's why you need your people around you. And that's
why my mama always been like my bigges support.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Who else is your people?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Man?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Just like my team?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Honestly, like I kind of got to a place where
I kind of realized. I realized, like family is not
always blood, Like you know what I'm saying, family is
the people who come by come to you and never
leave your side.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And home isn't always where you grew up at exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think home is we making Like I travel a lot,
so you know, I'm not I'm kind of like a
no mad like especially in the summer when I'm not
you know, at school and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So but like my team, my family, flock old dads.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yea gee, you know what inspired you behind legendary flows?
What was that inspiration?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah? I really did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Did you have in mind?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I freestyted that song look at You when I Yeah,
that was just from the heart, like I felt legendary
because that was right after we won a championship, you know,
and I just I just felt legendary. And then I
heard it was like that pop look and there and
I was like, that's a legendary beat, like and I
had and I was like that session was the session
I freestyled like the most.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Songs ever freestyle. I freestyle like thirteen songs that night, and.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So once I felt like that was the last song,
and I was like, it's been a legendary session.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's why I just started off.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Like that crazy. What came first, the uh, the want
to rhyme or to ball.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Basketball was always first, like I always been an athlete,
Like you know, my uncles they used to play and
they never used to let me play, right. And I
wasn't introduced to my father's music until I was about
seven or eight because the content was crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I probably still shouldn't have listened to.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeahh yeah yeah, and people are on the city was like, bro,
your dad was a rapper. So my mom got to
telling me everything that happened. And once I figured that out, bro,
I was like, n this is what I'm doing. So
I wasn't about seven and eight until I really start rapping.
But I have been playing basketball since I could walk.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah yeah, And they both kind of just collided or aligned,
right collide.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It crazy, yeah, Like and I tell people they just
like which one you want to do? It is like
I've been doing both my yeah both, don't ask me
about it how yeah, literally.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Like it's just something.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I like how you do it, And it's like for me,
I'm like, bro, it's easy, but for them it's like that,
But that ain't easy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's not normal, But that's my normal, you know what
I'm saying. So then I always had a good word.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Something tells me okay with that work ethic. Right, you
want to do music, you want to play ball. You
also want like your real estate license, you want to
go to like you there's a lot that you want fast, right,
you want to get it all done.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I want to do everything. That's why I go to
business school.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, l s U.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And I've been taking all kind of like accounting classes
and sports marketing And where does.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
That need come from? Where does that need come from?
Where you need to do all of this?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
A desire, man, I just I like to be the
best at everything that I do. And I don't like mediocity.
And I feel like if something is in my reach
and I'm able to have the tools, like use the
tools like you know what I'm saying, some people don't
get an opportunity to have the to I got the
opportunity to go to college and play for free.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Pay get my school paid for, Like that's not light,
you know what I'm saying. And to be able to
just use my platform, that's the most important thing. I
think a lot of times we get these opportunities and
we don't take it. You know what I'm saying, we
don't take it as far as we can. I'm the
type person Mama always told me do it first, as
for permission later, like you know what I'm saying, and
so like, I kind of just take that pro So
(05:36):
I'm gonna go push it as far as I can
to forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ask for forgiveness later. That's my mom
always say. And so I'll just been trying to go
as far as I can till they stop me.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know, I've gathered that it comes from a good place,
So I don't think anybody will stop you when.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It's good and it cuts from a good.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Place everybody, if everybody really want to help you more
Like I always use analogy.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
With my friends.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
They were like, you know, I just feel like my
parents don't understand, and I'm like, bro, Like, think, if
you see a car on the side of the road,
right and you see a car and they just doing
like this, you're not gonna stop. But if you see
somebody on the road and they pushing their car, you
be like, but let me go help and push.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Them and push it with see the work, Yeah exactly.
So that's the kind of mindset.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, if I see someone pushing in their car, like
you just feel in clinent. Yeah, Like but if you
see someone you're standing there, you're like, all right, well
you figured it out. You feel I never heard of
that and not, but it makes a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Of you want to help people who are helping themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
That's it. That's it, that's the fact. Yeah, at fourteen,
you get the golden buzzer. America's got talent, change my life,
change your life. Crazy after that, every it was on,
it was on, but fourby come on.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's that's why I changed my life because it gave
me confidence. I never really thought that I could do
music for real, Like you know, it's always I mean,
you know you could do it, but it's always like
when the only person that supporting you was your mama,
you ain't kind of be like mom, you probably lying,
like you don't be blowing my head.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You know what I'm saying. I supposed to say, you
know you're Yeah, You're not supposed.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
To tell you special.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, do good things.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But when I heard Sam and Cowle say fly like
you're gonna be a.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Superstar, that was like you were scared of him?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, because right.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Before everybody, right before I'm still he hit the X
on somebody was like, this is terrible right before I performed.
So I'm like, oh my god, I had already been
watching the show.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So crazy to get that kind of confirmation.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
At what age were you throwing up a thousand shots today?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
High school?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Now school? Great? Your boys throwing up a thousand shots today?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
They better be? They should be should be.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And that's not a thousand shots a thousand weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So that's about the teen shots dedication right there.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
That's what I'm trying to teach him.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
I think I was just gonna say to like, what
advice you know, would you have for someone who's going
into their senior year right now? They're looking around to
figure out what's next, male or female? Like you've been
through that process and it was hard. You played all
them damn tournaments day, trust but.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I loved it like that. That never felt like worked
for me. Like I love basketball. So a kid always
tell me like, how do I get to where you're at?
For the first thing, I asked them how many.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Times you work out a week? They were like probably
for five times. I said, I got you beat.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I said, in high school, I worked out four times
a day, like literally five am to eight pm. I
was working out every hour I could, so I did
I go and I changed their perspective. So I'm like, Bro,
I got twenty workouts over you by Friday.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You don'e did four? I do undid twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You see what I'm saying, So you can never catch
up with me. And I got that mentality from Kobe
I found when I found Kobe Bro that changed my life,
like his whole mindset, because I just felt like I
wanted like my talent was carrying me, but it got
to a point where I started playing better competition. I'm like,
your talent ain't gonna carry you, no, mo fo, Like
you gotta get skilled, like you gotta get hard work exactly.
(08:46):
That's like what wrap like. I know I'm talented and rap,
but that ain't gonna carry me.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I still got to write every day to get.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Is that the wrap work? What's your wrap workout? Man?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Just writing every day, freestyling every day. Jada Kiss actually
told me, like, I just write something every day even
when you even when you.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Just think you got writer's block, you can't.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You gotta do it, like you know what I'm saying,
and that that basketball. Being disciplined in basketball helped me
with that cause I felt like I ain't got to
write every day. It's natural, like because I can write
a song ten minutes and it's you know what I'm saying.
But it's like, you have a you have the potential
to do something crazy, like don't let that pride and
that like be like, don't let that stop.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You from what you could be. Like I won't be
one of them, Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So it's like if you can work on it and
get better, you don't know what that's gonna help in
the future.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So that's kind of the mindset that I do.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You ever, you're gonna have to choose one day, Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, right, like in a sense of I'm one may
be too big, right, But.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Honestly, I think that we kind of create our own reality.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So it's just about what I what I'm gonna be
able to do, and how if it's gonna be able
to hold up.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Like one of my dreams is to go play in
the w.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
N V A game during the day and then perform
at the same arena.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That like how crazy would that be?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Right, let's get it? How time? That's crazy?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I think.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Over time, that's one of my dreams, and I feel
like if it worked like that, then it could work.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You know what I'm saying. It's no telling, So I don't.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I don't think I have to choose, but I think
I would just like, how long are you going to
keep up being a handle?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I think if the approaches like what if obviously if
they both think you happy?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Right, yeah, I feel like I would have to choose
if it became just like too too much, like too overbearing, like,
but I don't. I don't think that, you know, I
could say right now, only because it's just never been
done before, Like you know what I'm saying, It's never
been something that has been.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So it's like I can agree exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I could create my own blueprint. And I've been thinking
about it. Like the w n b A season is
from like April to September.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Plus games or day games, right.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That I know you have this already figured out in
your head.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I already know, and I'm trying to tour from September
to whenever, and I just work out off season.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
It's like like they're playing the w n B A
then the off season they go in other countries.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I just get to stay in America.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And work on She's right, no one's ever done that.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I mean, like Dame Little to put out a song
or an album, but they don't tour.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yeah right, especially during the season.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I mean big shock you feel me all right?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So you know yeah, that's why people always try to
compare and let who do I'm like, nobody doing it
like me, Like like you know, these are NBA players.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
They like to make music. Okay, cool, and you.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Got rappers they like to hoop, but like at the
same level and trying to do that be done before.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Who's the best rapper athlete?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Me?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's right, that's what you should.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Pop.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Quiz me, that's right? Yeah he so yeah, and Wayne
all came out of beast right like yo, whoa, he's
got that mentality as well, that that that hunger and
that I'm gonna win mentality as well.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I asked him, like, what's your greatest advice from me?
He was like he was like, don't let them change you.
Like you know what I'm saying, Like, always be you
because that's what you that's what got you there. And
look at this like homework and like all you want
to do is bring an a home to mama.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
He was like, that's how I think about it still
to this day. I want my mom to be proud
of me.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So that's kind of the you know, hearing that from him,
it's like one of the greatest of all time. And
him even blessing my check was crazy. Him quoting my
lyrics was crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
When the vocals came in and you get to hear
for the first time before anyone else, right over the
phone or through email, whatever, Are you going crazy? Who's
in the room.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I'm going say, my grandma, my auntie at my auntie
Jakey house. I'm going crazy?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
He FaceTime.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
He text me, I know where like it is, Wayne,
I'm about to call you. I'm like what Like, I'm like,
y'all Wayne about to call me? Like you know, he
was like, just let me know if you like it.
If you like let me know if.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I like it. Bro, But y'all ain't hearing. But I
love it. And then I listened to it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
He said my name, he said, you know, he quoted
my lyrics like four times. I'm like, bro, like this
is what I needed, Like you know what I'm saying.
Because it was it was hard for people to take
me serious. Like with the music, I'm not listening to that,
you know what I'm saying, Like, but when you got
the greatest on there and he snapping like that on
it and you holding your own and track with Wayne and.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Kind of just give you that, you know what I'm saying,
that little pushy Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
That wasn't charity.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Facts.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
He wasn't looking out or helping. Yeah, exactly right, he was.
He was. He was with a peer, yeah, facts, you
know what I mean? And got to it. Who else
you want to work with?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Man? So many people?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What else on that listen? Wayne? Who else?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
J Cole?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I want to work with Adele, I want to work
with Tims Shaboozie. I want to work with like different
Kidler Roy like Roadway like.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I want I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I don't want people to box me in just HyET
like you know what I'm saying, Like I do the
R and B stuff, I do a lot of different
stuff that I got stuff coming up, like, but I
wanted to let people know at first with this project,
like I really raped, Like you know what I'm saying, Like,
if you want to go hear somebody rap.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
For nine song straight competitor? Yeah, Like yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Fact like and so you know, it's just about now
how I'm going to keep putting it out there because
like once you drop, Wayne, like you can't go back down,
Like naw, you gotta keep that momentum going, Wayne, momentum.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Is it is it too early or too soon to
think of who you could go one on one with
as far as rapping uh one on one?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Like what and like what?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Back and forth?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Too soon?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Me and Wayne basically just track. So I don't know
if there's too many other.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
People that's been to do what we did on my chow,
I'm not I love that. Like when I go on
the track, I'm looking to annihilate you.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You want to win on your own ship, right.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
On anybody's stuff. I want you to go listen to
my verse and go rewrite yours and go back in
the studio. Like that's what I want you to do
when you hear my verse.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Don't features.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
That's why I don't do features because I take them
too serious. Like I just did a song with like
being Leakey on Coach of Gyms and and that whole
thing is like, okay, it's it's it's a it's a
dope track. It's the w NBA anthem, but they give
me eight bars? How can I annihilate these eight bars?
Like what can I do? So that's always my mentality,
even on the court, even my teammates, like how can.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I be the best that I could be on this court?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Because I know it's only gonna make everybody else better,
you know what I'm saying, everybody gonna bring their best.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Yeah, that's right. W NBA getting a lot of looks,
which is a fucking about time. About time, about time, man,
because there's legends already and there's legends in the making. Yeah,
and it's time that women's sports w NBA gets that
look like the NBA, because it's crazy you girls are
putting in that.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Absolutely it was. It was a shell shop.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I really realized how big it was when me and
my uncle was literally me and my uncle, Oh man,
we're going in about the Rookie of the Year race, Like.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You know what I'm saying, it's real big, Like you
know what I'm saying, We're going in about it. He's saying, well, no,
you got to check out these numbers. And I'm like, no,
you got to check out these numbers and position and
all of this.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So even that being like a big conversation like that,
you know what I'm saying, that's.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
A big deal.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
That's how we used to.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Talking about Curry and all of them, and now is women,
you know what I'm saying. The it's men talking about it.
Then you got little boys that's looking up like wow,
like these they're not saying like these are dope women athletes.
They're just saying, no, she's a dope athletes, you know
what I'm saying. Basketball player, Like that's where it's coming.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So it's just dope to see sports.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Like a few w NBA games, man, and you see
little girls and their brothers there and they're wearing the
jerseys and they're happy to be there and they're cheering
and they're going crazy every time their favorite player makes,
you know, scores, and it's just it's great to see, man.
And it feels a little late, but it's great to see.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, I mean, like it does feel late, but it's
only I think, like I said, perfect timing, you know
what I'm saying, Because I think like when Sue Burden,
it was playing like it was thousands of people showing
up to their games too, but it was about the
media coverage and things of that nature, like it was
supportive but not how it is now.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Yeah, now it's like that the first second story on
Sports Center instead of.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It being a tenth story and they playing the game
and like eleven at night and.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Nobody you know what I'm saying, like you getting prime
time or right?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Who do you look up to that? I mean, there's
so many good players. You think of Aja, you think
of Diana's Ross. If there's so many, who did you
like to kind of model your game after when you
were coming que.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, Maya Moore when I was younger. But Arique uh right, now,
she's been my favorite player for a couple of years now,
but because I feel like she really showed what like
real basketball is about, like from outside of the exis
and ohs and all the you know, technical like she's
like that, she's skill on every level.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So that's definitely somebody that look up.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
How are you with your money? Are we going crazy?
Or we said, oh are we saving? No, I'm just
urging for no reason.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I might sell me right there credit and think about
it later.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Literally, but my mom she got me on my credit early.
Like you know what I'm saying I stopped using a
debit card kind of like my first year of college,
and she was like, put everything in your credit card.
You gotta pay it back. But so you know, man,
I don't. I won don't let me see my money.
Like the first time I seen my money was is
she in charge of the finance? Yes, yes, yes, her
and my financial advisor.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But she first time I seen, like, you know, she
sold me a screenshot of my bank.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Account, was like, oh my gosh, I got this much money,
Like you know, I didn't even know. Yes, literally, she
pays me, like you know what I'm saying, she paid me.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
So it's like I'm an employee.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So I didn't even know how much money I had.
I'm thinking, I'm saving up my love. Got like a
couple of bands here, bands.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Here, and I'm like, my way rich, Like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
But were rich?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It was?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It was it was dope to see that. And then
I went writing my song and when I said, okame
out of be so I'm like, man, man, I ain't
got a degree because she had just she never showed
me my money.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
So when I seen that, I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
You know, it's motivation, right, why did she show you.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That for that purpose? I was kind of like I
be hard on myself.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know what I'm saying, Like, I be really hard
on myself, and it's just because like I want to
do so much, like you know what I'm saying, so
much that I want to accomplish. But sometimes she got like, baby,
like look what you did, Like you know what I'm saying,
You're not twenty one yet, Like give yourself some grace.
That's what she tried to tell me. So she just
kind of just showed me. You know what I'm saying,
you know what we're doing, and we just literally bought
like set eight acres in Georgia, so we gonna be building, yeah,
(19:04):
building a complex.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So yeah, like mama, mam, mama, she knows what to do.
If I am.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Your mom helped you with your credit. My parents used
my credit when I had an apartment under my name. Yeah,
you laugh, but it's true.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Does any dude that you date have to have a
good credit score? Because let you got eight fifty.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Hey, let you got a fire credit.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It was a process you get there.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's fire though, Yeah you got that's still like he
got an Listen, I started with like a one hundred dollars
credit line on Cole's like cold, you.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Got a platinum.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I do have a plan.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm coming right next.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
But it was you got good credit.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I try, I try.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The credit score is important.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
My credit score is trash. I know you want to
your recovery. Yet I'm still trying to recover from all that.
It's crazy. And then and then of course I fucked
it up too, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I
didn't like make it better.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Credit is definitely important.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Actually, I just did like a give back and we
do like give away like six figures worth the shoes, beautifugs.
But we also did this thing where we had like
fly Bucks it was like four Bucks and the kids
had to like spend their money wise, like you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Learn, you know what I'm saying. And so I think
it's dope, and that's something that I.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Want to, you know, pour into the community because if
you know, you know, but you really don't know, and
it's something that you need in life.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
We're not tired, I think. Well, I wasn't taught until
it was until it was too late. I was on
my ass when I really had to learn about how
to deal with money and my credit score and all that.
And it couldn't have come at a worse time. And
but that's where I had to like get started. Had
I been taught at a younger age.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Most definitely, most definitely, and they started to teaching more now.
But I think it's important for rappers to show and
basketball players, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what I mean. Basketball players go broke. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Rappers go broke, like half hundreds and million dollars and
go broke because theyre going to buy a twey taxes.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
That of matters. So that's something that I've always been
cautious of.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And boy, that's so good. Handle that money. I see
you spending it a little bit though, I see, yeah,
just a little watch. Yeah we're buying a few.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Its just like rapper stuff though, like you know, it's
only when she does. Yeah, I don't read it usually
a rap watch. Literally, I want Apple Watch because I'm
always working out. This is this is like a conversation starter.
Like I would never by absolutely no, I tempted to.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Buy one some time of time.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Like I said, what happened to the tonight route, I'm
gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Go to whatever, to the fake Rolex. It was. It
was a social experience. It was a moment I got over.
I got more ass than sounds like it doesn't it.
Don't even worry literally for the I mean, yeah, flashy,
I mean, I guess it's part of what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
It's just a part of the persona like and I
literally it is though because like people like, oh, you
got a certain kind of watch, you got a certain time,
they don't want to like oh like, but honestly, like, you.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Know why, I don't really like wearing that kind of
stuff because I feel like you attract certain people that
are good for you.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
That is a fact. But like in the music industry,
it's just about a look.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yes, at the end of the day, it's just like costume.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Like people be saying like it's bad financial, but it's
really not, because it's like for your looks for now.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
You'll be surprised a lot of these rappers and R
and B singers this is it's like hip hop costplay.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yea literally literally it's hip hop. Like literally usually I
wear my little smiley for his necklace.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You got jewelry from Claire's Yeah for them, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I don't never buy a real ring.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You gotta remain humble somehow, right, It'll keep you grounded.
Are you? Are you a role model? Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Is it is?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
That? Is that okay to be viewed as Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I mean I feel like once you get in the
position and people got eyes on you, you automatically willcome
even if you don't want to be and so, and
you still gotta take that responsibility head on, cause that's
what comes with the fan and that's what people.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I don't like when people just like I never wanted
to be a bro.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's literally in a job description, like you know what
I'm saying, Like you wanna be famous, you gonna have
some type of influence.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Like it's like what you're gonna use your influence for?
You know what I mean? That's why I respect.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Rappers like uh, you know, Little Dirk and twenty one Savag.
These guys, even though they're rapping about their environment, where
they come from and all of that stuff, they still
try to pour into the community and be like, hey,
but don't try to do what I did, because I.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Mean that's how I made my money. But this ain't
what I do like Lord you.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
See to take care of his kids and starting foundations
in Chicago, Meek Mill even trying to do it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But you know me, I don't be like bro. I
gotta rap what I live about. I mean, are like
live like rap what I live, rap about where I live?
You know what I'm saying. And so I'm not in
the streets.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I'm in the gym, like so you know what I'm saying.
My music, I can only tell my story and my
perspective and motivate you. So you know, even if I
didn't want to be a role model, kids look up
to me. So it's my job, it's my responsible Your.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Mission, yea, exactly becomes part of your mission.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And it's something that I want to do. I love kids.
Feel like kids the future.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
They need that inspiration and that whope you have babies
on of your own.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I have four little brothers.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Wow, they are young and they look they they I
love that and the that that's what that's nothing like
I want to change the world that they gonna grow
up in.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
It's not really about me, but like how they gonna
grow into this world and what can I change to
make it better for them? You know what I'm saying,
because it ain't really about us, it's about our future
leaders and people.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I think I shared something along the lines that I
was like the struggle maybe who I am today and
that same struggles what makes you want to change somebody's tomorrow,
you know what I'm saying, Because it's like we've been
through that kind of like ship but like, yeah, let's
make the world a little better.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, and then you come from where I come from,
You already lacking resources, you already kind.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Of like we're born into that.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, you already started behind the but behind the start lines,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And then you got all these obstacles and hurdles. So
a lot of people don't make it past.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Those obstacles and hurdles.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
A lot of stuff take people out. And so for me,
I feel like I got a chance, and that means
that made me special and that made me. Let other
kids know that you got that chance to you just
gotta keep your head.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
On the straight, you know what I'm saying. And that's
another reason why I wear the jury and stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I go down there and talk to the kids I have,
I'd be like, but look at this, bro, I ain't
got this from selling drugs.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I ain't got this from doing the wrong thing. I
got this from playing basketball and making music. You see
what I'm saying. And I'm about to go get my degree.
So now what Like you know what I'm saying, This
is what I got this from.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
So, like, I think kids need to see it, Like,
you know, I didn't get to see it, like until
my mom put me in private school. My mom put
me in private school. That's the best thing she could
have did, because I'm going back to the hood.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
But private school. I just seen the Rolls Royce pull up.
I just seen a billy pull up. I'm like, bro,
what is this? Like, this is not the cord that
got like what I said, that what I want like,
and so I just.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Started hanging around them type of people. I started like, wi,
how y'all get this? Like I came to Beverly Hills.
It was a total like shell shock for me. Like
every car you see is a foreign car and people
You're like, it's money like this out here, but it
really is really And so I'm like, if I'm thinking
like this, imagine how my people with Savannah thinking. They
(26:08):
probably ain't think it ain't nothing outside.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Of right right, right, they know that's their world. Yeah,
you got to private school. You also see how other
kids talk to their parents, and you're like, oh ship
I would yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, but private school talking to his mom this way,
I don't get beaten.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I don't get.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Before.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Literally.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
But also private school taught me how to like be
able to communicate with all people, right, people from all
walks of life.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
You know what I'm saying. I'm able to relate, like.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You, how to have conversations, which is very important exactly
so that yeah, man, you know, with with your with
your outlook. Right, are we paying attention to politics?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Are we all in with Kamala Harris?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I mean yeah, Like you know what I'm saying, I think,
like I don't really like to get into politics too much,
but yeah yeah, but like I mean, it's just it's
just about for me being a woman, you know what
I'm saying, Like, I think that it's a lot of
things in the future that that can be at risk
for women, for my minorities, black, brown people, and just
(27:16):
in just our country as a whole, Like infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
That has already been built being taken down. Like I don't,
I'm not, I'm not righting with that, you know what
I'm saying. So I think, you know, it's a time
where people are gonna come together, you know what I'm saying.
I think we have to.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
We have to, And I like to talk about the
futures and future generations like I want to. I want
to help a country that's my brother's got to live in,
like you know what I'm saying, and their kids and
their kids kids, So it's generationally, it's like, we can't
be breaking down infrastructure, you.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Know what I'm saying now now especially not now too much?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Hey, L s U.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Man, it's just a factory for amazing athletes and me.
You think about the last year alone Jaden Daniels and
and Malik Neighbors and then Paul Schemes even in baseball. Crazy,
do you have like a and then think about all
the past to Joe Burrow and the Angel Do you
have a mount rushmore of L s U athletes?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Maybe your top three that's harder, but like.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's so hard, bro, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go,
Shack Pete Merrivich, Joe Joe Burrow, I think you gotta
go Angelies because, like you know what I'm saying, she
mayor Mark and we won a championship there you know
(28:36):
she's doing it again, So that would be definitely my
Mount Rushmore. But you gotta think we got so many
people Chase Essin, Jefferson, Honey Badger, like we got so
Paul Skins. I think I gotta add Paul Skins honorable
mention in there too, like Hayley Bryant Jaya, Like what
I mean, it just never stopped to even be a
(28:58):
part of that. Like bro, Like literally i wake up
every morning at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I'm in my room scratching whatever. I get to the track.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I see people on the track already at six. That
makes you want to get up early, Like, nah, they
beating me, Like you know what I'm saying, Like it's
just that winning culture, like people just want to be great,
like and it kind of just rub off on you.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Like that's what l s U is for real, really, legst.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
You call it a factory. That's true, the factory.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It's crazy speaking of LSU. I'm a segreate from trophies
to turn up. What is an LSU party?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So I never went to take us? Okay, what's a
college party?
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I never experienced that.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Man, LSU is legit. I've ever went out about three
times now.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I don't go out a lot because I don't really
like going out, But when my teammates dropped me out.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like, oh, I have so much fun, but I ain't
gonna lie. It's low key kind of split up.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Like like a lot of the like black people like
go to the Basin, you know what I'm saying or
different stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Then like some of the white people that go to tiger.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Land and what are the Tigerland is like a spot
where it's like a whole lot of different places.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I don't know. It's like, yeah, but I love Tigerland.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Like I love that's where they found the girl.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's definitely a place. Definitely that's like that type of vibe,
like you know what I'm saying, But I love.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Tigerland, Like Tigerland friends like you hear you know, you
know you already know, but I love Tigerland.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It's just a vibe.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
But like the Base, it's like a whole lot of community,
Like you know what I'm saying, even when it's separate,
it's still everybody loves LSU like it's it's I mean,
our fans are crazy, like we have the best fans
in the world. I don't know if y'all ever been
to L s U on a Saturday night on Death Valley,
we have earthquakes, Like do they record, yes, because everybody
(30:51):
be drunk having a good time.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Like they sell alcohol. So it's like you know what
I'm saying. Hotel Gate, they feed you right out the
trumps gumbo like you it's insane. No, like it's not.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I'm not over exaguated, Like my god, college life is different,
bro l she was different. Ls you is different real
I've never been like like I haven't been been on
visits and stuff and scene.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
But no, like they take it serious.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Did you almost somewhere else? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Sure, almost went to Miami.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah that I was with the Miami And right when
I was making my decision, I was like, you gotta
think Miami too fast for you. Right now.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I was taking turn up like I was like no, no,
and that work popped back in their.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, like no, I'm gonna be on the beach, I'm
gonna be outside Miami got like clubs and stuff like,
I'm like, no, let me just go somewhere.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I could still have fun, but make sure that's.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Right, that's right. You don't disappoint nobody.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I made a bigger decision.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Yeah, another big girl decision. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But it was crazy because Miami had like the top
five music school in the world. So that's why it
was called Frost Music School.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And they was gonna mentor me and let me take
my have my degree in music and everything. And that's
why I was really wanting to go.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
But you know, I said.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Then she watched her thirty for thirty on the U
and then Michael everyone was doing it.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
She said, no, I just I realized, like you could
be outside on a Wednesday, and I'm like, nah.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
No, hell no, that's a child a Wednesday now. No,
Wednesday is not a New Saturday. That's not what we're doing. No. No,
if you if you could take your pick right for
a feature, is it Drake or Kendrick Drake.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I mean you could say what you want, but Drake
still like one of the maker. Drake Drake is a
hit maker. Sure he you know, you know he taking
this lead.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I take a little time off, you know, let thing
down down, But I feel like you're gonna come back
with a classic again and reminds everybody want Drake.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Is just like in sports, right, you may you may
may get dunked on. Yeah, look crazy in front of
the world because you're on TV on on the inn
that right.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's the game.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Gotta recover from part of the game.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I don't I'm the type of person. I don't think
it's boy you falls, how you bounce back up?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
But I love Kindred though, Like.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I always liked Crick like his music always resonated with
me because he's a real lyricist.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
But man, this whole run that he put together, I.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Pop out was crazy. We were there insane. Man, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
The energy, Like I think music is energy. He brought
back that energy. Like you know what I'm saying. You
gotta respect that.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
That makes HI one of the greats definitely.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
And the layers to all the pettiness in every song,
It's just like that was a lot of work.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
You just didn't write something.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Deep research mode in order to make these bars sound
like this and this.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Mean is y. Yeah it was. It wasn't just oh gosh,
literally it was a thirteen page term, like yeah, he
went straight to business. Yeah no, And it wasn't like
research on just Drake. It was like history. Yeah, like
he was.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
He was serious with it.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
But I love that because that's what hip hop about.
Like we started in New York, battle rap, like it's
a contact sport.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Fact.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
You do a podcast with your mom, Yeah, it's called
best of both both worlds?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
How is that?
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Working with mom?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Man, it's great. I ain't the boss, No, not on
my podcast. Yeah, but let me tell you fact all
the way. But no, it's like just I put it
on there just to show like a different perspective. You
know what I'm saying. I love podcasts like.
Speaker 2 (34:36):

Speaker 3 (35:50):
That's right now, it's coming, It's on this way.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
It's coming. Just you know, if it happens. It happens.
That's where I'm at right now. Whatever for me is
gonna come for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Why do you think you take things so personal so fast?
I do.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I don't know, maybe because I'm a little scuffy, I'm
love motional, but I take everything the heart, like yeah,
telling them like, I take everything the heart because I'm
just so passionate about what I do. Like everything that
I do, it comes from my heart. Everything I do
is genuine, Like if I don't want to do it,
I won't do it. So you know, that's why I
take everything in the gm. My mom be telling me, like,
you can't take it. Business ain't personal Like business is
(36:28):
personal you for real, like your moorials and your principles.
How you do business is about it's a personal reflection
of you. So I take everything personal because I do
everything from the heart and I just want everything to
be good.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah. So I think that's why things are gonna work out,
or things are working out because your heart's in it. Yeah.
You know, if your heart's not in it, man, it's
gonna fall flat.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
It comes over because you your heart gotta be in
it because that's what's gonna keep you disciplined when you
don't want to do it. It's so many days I
don't want to get a bed six am and workout.
But you know what I'm saying, it's like my heart
in it.
Speaker 3 (36:57):

gives you that jolt where you just got to get up.
Need it? Yeah, man, Cause you think your boys can
take on.

lot of people.

We do a lot of high schools too. Yeah, and
we do like a little high school thing. We go

crazy joint man. You got some feelings out there, right man, Yeah,
a story to tell. A lot went on in there,
nine songs, man, and you poured it all in there.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Facts most definitely, I was just talking to them.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
This process was kind of different because a lot of
these songs came from a lot of different times, like
legendary foes and.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Came out of beasts hell who really make it?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Recorded all of those through the same night right after
I won championship, and then Damage I recorded that in
my room.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You know what I'm saying this season. So this project
has been a lot of years, and.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
These songs are pulled from different spaces of in your
life time.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, which is crazy. When I was still like the
music I made during my freshman year.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's probably like all the realist music because yeah, that's
that's the time I moved away from my family, went
to college, had to regroup, readjust and so that was
probably the craziest.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's time to be a big girl. Huhah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Literally, my mama said, you put your big girl.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, talk about that process. How much have you gone
from that freshman now man?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I grown so much. But the most thing I've seen
in my growth is my confidence.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know, like you come from high school and you
have all met down, All American, you bigged, all time
scoring leader, feel me, and then you go to college
and you with Okay in their state there to Metdwnald
All American, they're the all time scoring leader. So it's
like a whole lot of ones on one team and
you just gotta you know what I'm saying, like adjust
to that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And so for me as a freshman, it kind of
like kind of like it was hard. I was calling
my mom mo, I'm like I'm ready to go home, Like, ma,
come get me, like feel me.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Like my mom taught to coach moke coach Mokey, like
this this is just what happens.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Like you know what I'm saying, just gotta let her grow.
And I'm just glad that I stuck it through a
lot of kids.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
They hit the portal, a lot of kids, they do
all that, but kind of just stuck it through.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It turned out good for.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You and your father, right shot the camouflage no longer
with it? Right, But did your mom ever remind you
your dad would never allow this, Like you're not coming home.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You got to put the work in, yeah know, Like
you know, I never got to meet my dad, So
the only thing I could hear is from when my
mama tell me, you know, she I listened to his
music a lot, though.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
His music is that never give up, Like you know
what I'm saying, You got to put one foot in
front of the other, you know what I'm saying. So
you know, I always have that in the back of
my mind, and I ain't even quitting. But it's just
like you know, when life hits you for real, you be.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like, like, you know, sometimes it feels like, shoot, do
I gotta quit? You feel me?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's why you need your people around you. And that's
why my mama always been like my bigges support.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Who else is your people?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Man?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Just like my team?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Honestly, like I kind of got to a place where
I kind of realized. I realized, like family is not
always blood, Like you know what I'm saying, family is
the people who come by come to you and never
leave your side.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And home isn't always where you grew up at exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think home is we making Like I travel a lot,
so you know, I'm not I'm kind of like a
no mad like especially in the summer when I'm not
you know, at school and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So but like my team, my family, flock old dads.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yea gee, you know what inspired you behind legendary flows?
What was that inspiration?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah? I really did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Did you have in mind?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I freestyted that song look at You when I Yeah,
that was just from the heart, like I felt legendary
because that was right after we won a championship, you know,
and I just I just felt legendary. And then I
heard it was like that pop look and there and
I was like, that's a legendary beat, like and I
had and I was like that session was the session
I freestyled like the most.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Songs ever freestyle. I freestyle like thirteen songs that night, and.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So once I felt like that was the last song,
and I was like, it's been a legendary session.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's why I just started off.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Like that crazy. What came first, the uh, the want
to rhyme or to ball.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Basketball was always first, like I always been an athlete,
Like you know, my uncles they used to play and
they never used to let me play, right. And I
wasn't introduced to my father's music until I was about
seven or eight because the content was crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I probably still shouldn't have listened to.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeahh yeah yeah, and people are on the city was like, bro,
your dad was a rapper. So my mom got to
telling me everything that happened. And once I figured that out, bro,
I was like, n this is what I'm doing. So
I wasn't about seven and eight until I really start rapping.
But I have been playing basketball since I could walk.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah yeah, And they both kind of just collided or aligned,
right collide.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It crazy, yeah, Like and I tell people they just
like which one you want to do? It is like
I've been doing both my yeah both, don't ask me
about it how yeah, literally.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Like it's just something.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I like how you do it, And it's like for me,
I'm like, bro, it's easy, but for them it's like that,
But that ain't easy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's not normal, But that's my normal, you know what
I'm saying. So then I always had a good word.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Something tells me okay with that work ethic. Right, you
want to do music, you want to play ball. You
also want like your real estate license, you want to
go to like you there's a lot that you want fast, right,
you want to get it all done.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I want to do everything. That's why I go to
business school.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, l s U.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And I've been taking all kind of like accounting classes
and sports marketing And where does.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
That need come from? Where does that need come from?
Where you need to do all of this?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
A desire, man, I just I like to be the
best at everything that I do. And I don't like mediocity.
And I feel like if something is in my reach
and I'm able to have the tools, like use the
tools like you know what I'm saying, some people don't
get an opportunity to have the to I got the
opportunity to go to college and play for free.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Pay get my school paid for, Like that's not light,
you know what I'm saying. And to be able to
just use my platform, that's the most important thing. I
think a lot of times we get these opportunities and
we don't take it. You know what I'm saying, we
don't take it as far as we can. I'm the
type person Mama always told me do it first, as
for permission later, like you know what I'm saying, and
so like, I kind of just take that pro So
(05:36):
I'm gonna go push it as far as I can
to forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ask for forgiveness later. That's my mom
always say. And so I'll just been trying to go
as far as I can till they stop me.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know, I've gathered that it comes from a good place,
So I don't think anybody will stop you when.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It's good and it cuts from a good.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Place everybody, if everybody really want to help you more
Like I always use analogy.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
With my friends.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
They were like, you know, I just feel like my
parents don't understand, and I'm like, bro, Like, think, if
you see a car on the side of the road,
right and you see a car and they just doing
like this, you're not gonna stop. But if you see
somebody on the road and they pushing their car, you
be like, but let me go help and push.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Them and push it with see the work, Yeah exactly.
So that's the kind of mindset.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, if I see someone pushing in their car, like
you just feel in clinent. Yeah, Like but if you
see someone you're standing there, you're like, all right, well
you figured it out. You feel I never heard of
that and not, but it makes a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Of you want to help people who are helping themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
That's it. That's it, that's the fact. Yeah, at fourteen,
you get the golden buzzer. America's got talent, change my life,
change your life. Crazy after that, every it was on,
it was on, but fourby come on.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's that's why I changed my life because it gave
me confidence. I never really thought that I could do
music for real, Like you know, it's always I mean,
you know you could do it, but it's always like
when the only person that supporting you was your mama,
you ain't kind of be like mom, you probably lying,
like you don't be blowing my head.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You know what I'm saying. I supposed to say, you
know you're Yeah, You're not supposed.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
To tell you special.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, do good things.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But when I heard Sam and Cowle say fly like
you're gonna be a.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Superstar, that was like you were scared of him?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, because right.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Before everybody, right before I'm still he hit the X
on somebody was like, this is terrible right before I performed.
So I'm like, oh my god, I had already been
watching the show.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So crazy to get that kind of confirmation.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
At what age were you throwing up a thousand shots today?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
High school?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Now school? Great? Your boys throwing up a thousand shots today?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
They better be? They should be should be.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And that's not a thousand shots a thousand weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So that's about the teen shots dedication right there.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
That's what I'm trying to teach him.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
I think I was just gonna say to like, what
advice you know, would you have for someone who's going
into their senior year right now? They're looking around to
figure out what's next, male or female? Like you've been
through that process and it was hard. You played all
them damn tournaments day, trust but.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I loved it like that. That never felt like worked
for me. Like I love basketball. So a kid always
tell me like, how do I get to where you're at?
For the first thing, I asked them how many.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Times you work out a week? They were like probably
for five times. I said, I got you beat.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I said, in high school, I worked out four times
a day, like literally five am to eight pm. I
was working out every hour I could, so I did
I go and I changed their perspective. So I'm like, Bro,
I got twenty workouts over you by Friday.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You don'e did four? I do undid twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You see what I'm saying, So you can never catch
up with me. And I got that mentality from Kobe
I found when I found Kobe Bro that changed my life,
like his whole mindset, because I just felt like I
wanted like my talent was carrying me, but it got
to a point where I started playing better competition. I'm like,
your talent ain't gonna carry you, no, mo fo, Like
you gotta get skilled, like you gotta get hard work exactly.
(08:46):
That's like what wrap like. I know I'm talented and rap,
but that ain't gonna carry me.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I still got to write every day to get.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Is that the wrap work? What's your wrap workout? Man?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Just writing every day, freestyling every day. Jada Kiss actually
told me, like, I just write something every day even
when you even when you.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Just think you got writer's block, you can't.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You gotta do it, like you know what I'm saying,
and that that basketball. Being disciplined in basketball helped me
with that cause I felt like I ain't got to
write every day. It's natural, like because I can write
a song ten minutes and it's you know what I'm saying.
But it's like, you have a you have the potential
to do something crazy, like don't let that pride and
that like be like, don't let that stop.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You from what you could be. Like I won't be
one of them, Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So it's like if you can work on it and
get better, you don't know what that's gonna help in
the future.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So that's kind of the mindset that I do.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You ever, you're gonna have to choose one day, Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, right, like in a sense of I'm one may
be too big, right, But.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Honestly, I think that we kind of create our own reality.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So it's just about what I what I'm gonna be
able to do, and how if it's gonna be able
to hold up.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Like one of my dreams is to go play in
the w.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
N V A game during the day and then perform
at the same arena.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That like how crazy would that be?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Right, let's get it? How time? That's crazy?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I think.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Over time, that's one of my dreams, and I feel
like if it worked like that, then it could work.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You know what I'm saying. It's no telling, So I don't.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I don't think I have to choose, but I think
I would just like, how long are you going to
keep up being a handle?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I think if the approaches like what if obviously if
they both think you happy?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Right, yeah, I feel like I would have to choose
if it became just like too too much, like too overbearing, like,
but I don't. I don't think that, you know, I
could say right now, only because it's just never been
done before, Like you know what I'm saying, It's never
been something that has been.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So it's like I can agree exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I could create my own blueprint. And I've been thinking
about it. Like the w n b A season is
from like April to September.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Plus games or day games, right.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That I know you have this already figured out in
your head.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I already know, and I'm trying to tour from September
to whenever, and I just work out off season.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
It's like like they're playing the w n B A
then the off season they go in other countries.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I just get to stay in America.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And work on She's right, no one's ever done that.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I mean, like Dame Little to put out a song
or an album, but they don't tour.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yeah right, especially during the season.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I mean big shock you feel me all right?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So you know yeah, that's why people always try to
compare and let who do I'm like, nobody doing it
like me, Like like you know, these are NBA players.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
They like to make music. Okay, cool, and you.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Got rappers they like to hoop, but like at the
same level and trying to do that be done before.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Who's the best rapper athlete?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Me?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's right, that's what you should.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Pop.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Quiz me, that's right? Yeah he so yeah, and Wayne
all came out of beast right like yo, whoa, he's
got that mentality as well, that that that hunger and
that I'm gonna win mentality as well.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I asked him, like, what's your greatest advice from me?
He was like he was like, don't let them change you.
Like you know what I'm saying, Like, always be you
because that's what you that's what got you there. And
look at this like homework and like all you want
to do is bring an a home to mama.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
He was like, that's how I think about it still
to this day. I want my mom to be proud
of me.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So that's kind of the you know, hearing that from him,
it's like one of the greatest of all time. And
him even blessing my check was crazy. Him quoting my
lyrics was crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
When the vocals came in and you get to hear
for the first time before anyone else, right over the
phone or through email, whatever, Are you going crazy? Who's
in the room.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I'm going say, my grandma, my auntie at my auntie
Jakey house. I'm going crazy?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
He FaceTime.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
He text me, I know where like it is, Wayne,
I'm about to call you. I'm like what Like, I'm like,
y'all Wayne about to call me? Like you know, he
was like, just let me know if you like it.
If you like let me know if.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I like it. Bro, But y'all ain't hearing. But I
love it. And then I listened to it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
He said my name, he said, you know, he quoted
my lyrics like four times. I'm like, bro, like this
is what I needed, Like you know what I'm saying.
Because it was it was hard for people to take
me serious. Like with the music, I'm not listening to that,
you know what I'm saying, Like, but when you got
the greatest on there and he snapping like that on
it and you holding your own and track with Wayne and.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Kind of just give you that, you know what I'm saying,
that little pushy Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
That wasn't charity.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Facts.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
He wasn't looking out or helping. Yeah, exactly right, he was.
He was. He was with a peer, yeah, facts, you
know what I mean? And got to it. Who else
you want to work with?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Man? So many people?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What else on that listen? Wayne? Who else?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
J Cole?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I want to work with Adele, I want to work
with Tims Shaboozie. I want to work with like different
Kidler Roy like Roadway like.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I want I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I don't want people to box me in just HyET
like you know what I'm saying, Like I do the
R and B stuff, I do a lot of different
stuff that I got stuff coming up, like, but I
wanted to let people know at first with this project,
like I really raped, Like you know what I'm saying, Like,
if you want to go hear somebody rap.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
For nine song straight competitor? Yeah, Like yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Fact like and so you know, it's just about now
how I'm going to keep putting it out there because
like once you drop, Wayne, like you can't go back down,
Like naw, you gotta keep that momentum going, Wayne, momentum.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Is it is it too early or too soon to
think of who you could go one on one with
as far as rapping uh one on one?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Like what and like what?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Back and forth?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Too soon?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Me and Wayne basically just track. So I don't know
if there's too many other.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
People that's been to do what we did on my chow,
I'm not I love that. Like when I go on
the track, I'm looking to annihilate you.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You want to win on your own ship, right.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
On anybody's stuff. I want you to go listen to
my verse and go rewrite yours and go back in
the studio. Like that's what I want you to do
when you hear my verse.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Don't features.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
That's why I don't do features because I take them
too serious. Like I just did a song with like
being Leakey on Coach of Gyms and and that whole
thing is like, okay, it's it's it's a it's a
dope track. It's the w NBA anthem, but they give
me eight bars? How can I annihilate these eight bars?
Like what can I do? So that's always my mentality,
even on the court, even my teammates, like how can.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I be the best that I could be on this court?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Because I know it's only gonna make everybody else better,
you know what I'm saying, everybody gonna bring their best.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Yeah, that's right. W NBA getting a lot of looks,
which is a fucking about time. About time, about time, man,
because there's legends already and there's legends in the making. Yeah,
and it's time that women's sports w NBA gets that
look like the NBA, because it's crazy you girls are
putting in that.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Absolutely it was. It was a shell shop.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I really realized how big it was when me and
my uncle was literally me and my uncle, Oh man,
we're going in about the Rookie of the Year race, Like.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You know what I'm saying, it's real big, Like you
know what I'm saying, We're going in about it. He's saying, well, no,
you got to check out these numbers. And I'm like, no,
you got to check out these numbers and position and
all of this.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So even that being like a big conversation like that,
you know what I'm saying, that's.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
A big deal.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
That's how we used to.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Talking about Curry and all of them, and now is women,
you know what I'm saying. The it's men talking about it.
Then you got little boys that's looking up like wow,
like these they're not saying like these are dope women athletes.
They're just saying, no, she's a dope athletes, you know
what I'm saying. Basketball player, Like that's where it's coming.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So it's just dope to see sports.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Like a few w NBA games, man, and you see
little girls and their brothers there and they're wearing the
jerseys and they're happy to be there and they're cheering
and they're going crazy every time their favorite player makes,
you know, scores, and it's just it's great to see, man.
And it feels a little late, but it's great to see.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, I mean, like it does feel late, but it's
only I think, like I said, perfect timing, you know
what I'm saying, Because I think like when Sue Burden,
it was playing like it was thousands of people showing
up to their games too, but it was about the
media coverage and things of that nature, like it was
supportive but not how it is now.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Yeah, now it's like that the first second story on
Sports Center instead of.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It being a tenth story and they playing the game
and like eleven at night and.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Nobody you know what I'm saying, like you getting prime
time or right?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Who do you look up to that? I mean, there's
so many good players. You think of Aja, you think
of Diana's Ross. If there's so many, who did you
like to kind of model your game after when you
were coming que.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, Maya Moore when I was younger. But Arique uh right, now,
she's been my favorite player for a couple of years now,
but because I feel like she really showed what like
real basketball is about, like from outside of the exis
and ohs and all the you know, technical like she's
like that, she's skill on every level.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So that's definitely somebody that look up.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
How are you with your money? Are we going crazy?
Or we said, oh are we saving? No, I'm just
urging for no reason.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I might sell me right there credit and think about
it later.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Literally, but my mom she got me on my credit early.
Like you know what I'm saying I stopped using a
debit card kind of like my first year of college,
and she was like, put everything in your credit card.
You gotta pay it back. But so you know, man,
I don't. I won don't let me see my money.
Like the first time I seen my money was is
she in charge of the finance? Yes, yes, yes, her
and my financial advisor.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But she first time I seen, like, you know, she
sold me a screenshot of my bank.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Account, was like, oh my gosh, I got this much money,
Like you know, I didn't even know. Yes, literally, she
pays me, like you know what I'm saying, she paid me.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
So it's like I'm an employee.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So I didn't even know how much money I had.
I'm thinking, I'm saving up my love. Got like a
couple of bands here, bands.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Here, and I'm like, my way rich, Like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
But were rich?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It was?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It was it was dope to see that. And then
I went writing my song and when I said, okame
out of be so I'm like, man, man, I ain't
got a degree because she had just she never showed
me my money.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
So when I seen that, I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
You know, it's motivation, right, why did she show you.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That for that purpose? I was kind of like I
be hard on myself.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know what I'm saying, Like, I be really hard
on myself, and it's just because like I want to
do so much, like you know what I'm saying, so
much that I want to accomplish. But sometimes she got like, baby,
like look what you did, Like you know what I'm saying,
You're not twenty one yet, Like give yourself some grace.
That's what she tried to tell me. So she just
kind of just showed me. You know what I'm saying,
you know what we're doing, and we just literally bought
like set eight acres in Georgia, so we gonna be building, yeah,
(19:04):
building a complex.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So yeah, like mama, mam, mama, she knows what to do.
If I am.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Your mom helped you with your credit. My parents used
my credit when I had an apartment under my name. Yeah,
you laugh, but it's true.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Does any dude that you date have to have a
good credit score? Because let you got eight fifty.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Hey, let you got a fire credit.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It was a process you get there.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's fire though, Yeah you got that's still like he
got an Listen, I started with like a one hundred dollars
credit line on Cole's like cold, you.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Got a platinum.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I do have a plan.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm coming right next.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
But it was you got good credit.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I try, I try.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The credit score is important.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
My credit score is trash. I know you want to
your recovery. Yet I'm still trying to recover from all that.
It's crazy. And then and then of course I fucked
it up too, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I
didn't like make it better.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Credit is definitely important.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Actually, I just did like a give back and we
do like give away like six figures worth the shoes, beautifugs.
But we also did this thing where we had like
fly Bucks it was like four Bucks and the kids
had to like spend their money wise, like you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Learn, you know what I'm saying. And so I think
it's dope, and that's something that I.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Want to, you know, pour into the community because if
you know, you know, but you really don't know, and
it's something that you need in life.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
We're not tired, I think. Well, I wasn't taught until
it was until it was too late. I was on
my ass when I really had to learn about how
to deal with money and my credit score and all that.
And it couldn't have come at a worse time. And
but that's where I had to like get started. Had
I been taught at a younger age.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Most definitely, most definitely, and they started to teaching more now.
But I think it's important for rappers to show and
basketball players, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what I mean. Basketball players go broke. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Rappers go broke, like half hundreds and million dollars and
go broke because theyre going to buy a twey taxes.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
That of matters. So that's something that I've always been
cautious of.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And boy, that's so good. Handle that money. I see
you spending it a little bit though, I see, yeah,
just a little watch. Yeah we're buying a few.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Its just like rapper stuff though, like you know, it's
only when she does. Yeah, I don't read it usually
a rap watch. Literally, I want Apple Watch because I'm
always working out. This is this is like a conversation starter.
Like I would never by absolutely no, I tempted to.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Buy one some time of time.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Like I said, what happened to the tonight route, I'm
gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Go to whatever, to the fake Rolex. It was. It
was a social experience. It was a moment I got over.
I got more ass than sounds like it doesn't it.
Don't even worry literally for the I mean, yeah, flashy,
I mean, I guess it's part of what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
It's just a part of the persona like and I
literally it is though because like people like, oh, you
got a certain kind of watch, you got a certain time,
they don't want to like oh like, but honestly, like, you.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Know why, I don't really like wearing that kind of
stuff because I feel like you attract certain people that
are good for you.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
That is a fact. But like in the music industry,
it's just about a look.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yes, at the end of the day, it's just like costume.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Like people be saying like it's bad financial, but it's
really not, because it's like for your looks for now.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
You'll be surprised a lot of these rappers and R
and B singers this is it's like hip hop costplay.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yea literally literally it's hip hop. Like literally usually I
wear my little smiley for his necklace.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You got jewelry from Claire's Yeah for them, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I don't never buy a real ring.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You gotta remain humble somehow, right, It'll keep you grounded.
Are you? Are you a role model? Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Is it is?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
That? Is that okay to be viewed as Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I mean I feel like once you get in the
position and people got eyes on you, you automatically willcome
even if you don't want to be and so, and
you still gotta take that responsibility head on, cause that's
what comes with the fan and that's what people.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I don't like when people just like I never wanted
to be a bro.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's literally in a job description, like you know what
I'm saying, Like you wanna be famous, you gonna have
some type of influence.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Like it's like what you're gonna use your influence for?
You know what I mean? That's why I respect.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Rappers like uh, you know, Little Dirk and twenty one Savag.
These guys, even though they're rapping about their environment, where
they come from and all of that stuff, they still
try to pour into the community and be like, hey,
but don't try to do what I did, because I.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Mean that's how I made my money. But this ain't
what I do like Lord you.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
See to take care of his kids and starting foundations
in Chicago, Meek Mill even trying to do it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But you know me, I don't be like bro. I
gotta rap what I live about. I mean, are like
live like rap what I live, rap about where I live?
You know what I'm saying. And so I'm not in
the streets.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I'm in the gym, like so you know what I'm saying.
My music, I can only tell my story and my
perspective and motivate you. So you know, even if I
didn't want to be a role model, kids look up
to me. So it's my job, it's my responsible Your.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Mission, yea, exactly becomes part of your mission.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And it's something that I want to do. I love kids.
Feel like kids the future.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
They need that inspiration and that whope you have babies
on of your own.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I have four little brothers.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Wow, they are young and they look they they I
love that and the that that's what that's nothing like
I want to change the world that they gonna grow
up in.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
It's not really about me, but like how they gonna
grow into this world and what can I change to
make it better for them? You know what I'm saying,
because it ain't really about us, it's about our future
leaders and people.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I think I shared something along the lines that I
was like the struggle maybe who I am today and
that same struggles what makes you want to change somebody's tomorrow,
you know what I'm saying, Because it's like we've been
through that kind of like ship but like, yeah, let's
make the world a little better.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, and then you come from where I come from,
You already lacking resources, you already kind.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Of like we're born into that.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, you already started behind the but behind the start lines,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And then you got all these obstacles and hurdles. So
a lot of people don't make it past.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Those obstacles and hurdles.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
A lot of stuff take people out. And so for me,
I feel like I got a chance, and that means
that made me special and that made me. Let other
kids know that you got that chance to you just
gotta keep your head.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
On the straight, you know what I'm saying. And that's
another reason why I wear the jury and stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I go down there and talk to the kids I have,
I'd be like, but look at this, bro, I ain't
got this from selling drugs.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I ain't got this from doing the wrong thing. I
got this from playing basketball and making music. You see
what I'm saying. And I'm about to go get my degree.
So now what Like you know what I'm saying, This
is what I got this from.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
So, like, I think kids need to see it, Like,
you know, I didn't get to see it, like until
my mom put me in private school. My mom put
me in private school. That's the best thing she could
have did, because I'm going back to the hood.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
But private school. I just seen the Rolls Royce pull up.
I just seen a billy pull up. I'm like, bro,
what is this? Like, this is not the cord that
got like what I said, that what I want like,
and so I just.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Started hanging around them type of people. I started like, wi,
how y'all get this? Like I came to Beverly Hills.
It was a total like shell shock for me. Like
every car you see is a foreign car and people
You're like, it's money like this out here, but it
really is really And so I'm like, if I'm thinking
like this, imagine how my people with Savannah thinking. They
(26:08):
probably ain't think it ain't nothing outside.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Of right right, right, they know that's their world. Yeah,
you got to private school. You also see how other
kids talk to their parents, and you're like, oh ship
I would yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, but private school talking to his mom this way,
I don't get beaten.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I don't get.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Before.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Literally.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
But also private school taught me how to like be
able to communicate with all people, right, people from all
walks of life.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
You know what I'm saying. I'm able to relate, like.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You, how to have conversations, which is very important exactly
so that yeah, man, you know, with with your with
your outlook. Right, are we paying attention to politics?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Are we all in with Kamala Harris?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I mean yeah, Like you know what I'm saying, I think,
like I don't really like to get into politics too much,
but yeah yeah, but like I mean, it's just it's
just about for me being a woman, you know what
I'm saying, Like, I think that it's a lot of
things in the future that that can be at risk
for women, for my minorities, black, brown people, and just
(27:16):
in just our country as a whole, Like infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
That has already been built being taken down. Like I don't,
I'm not, I'm not righting with that, you know what
I'm saying. So I think, you know, it's a time
where people are gonna come together, you know what I'm saying.
I think we have to.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
We have to, And I like to talk about the
futures and future generations like I want to. I want
to help a country that's my brother's got to live in,
like you know what I'm saying, and their kids and
their kids kids, So it's generationally, it's like, we can't
be breaking down infrastructure, you.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Know what I'm saying now now especially not now too much?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Hey, L s U.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Man, it's just a factory for amazing athletes and me.
You think about the last year alone Jaden Daniels and
and Malik Neighbors and then Paul Schemes even in baseball. Crazy,
do you have like a and then think about all
the past to Joe Burrow and the Angel Do you
have a mount rushmore of L s U athletes?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Maybe your top three that's harder, but like.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's so hard, bro, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go,
Shack Pete Merrivich, Joe Joe Burrow, I think you gotta
go Angelies because, like you know what I'm saying, she
mayor Mark and we won a championship there you know
(28:36):
she's doing it again, So that would be definitely my
Mount Rushmore. But you gotta think we got so many
people Chase Essin, Jefferson, Honey Badger, like we got so
Paul Skins. I think I gotta add Paul Skins honorable
mention in there too, like Hayley Bryant Jaya, Like what
I mean, it just never stopped to even be a
(28:58):
part of that. Like bro, Like literally i wake up
every morning at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I'm in my room scratching whatever. I get to the track.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I see people on the track already at six. That
makes you want to get up early, Like, nah, they
beating me, Like you know what I'm saying, Like it's
just that winning culture, like people just want to be great,
like and it kind of just rub off on you.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Like that's what l s U is for real, really, legst.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
You call it a factory. That's true, the factory.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It's crazy speaking of LSU. I'm a segreate from trophies
to turn up. What is an LSU party?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So I never went to take us? Okay, what's a
college party?
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I never experienced that.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Man, LSU is legit. I've ever went out about three
times now.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I don't go out a lot because I don't really
like going out, But when my teammates dropped me out.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like, oh, I have so much fun, but I ain't
gonna lie. It's low key kind of split up.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Like like a lot of the like black people like
go to the Basin, you know what I'm saying or
different stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Then like some of the white people that go to tiger.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Land and what are the Tigerland is like a spot
where it's like a whole lot of different places.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I don't know. It's like, yeah, but I love Tigerland.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Like I love that's where they found the girl.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's definitely a place. Definitely that's like that type of vibe,
like you know what I'm saying, But I love.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Tigerland, Like Tigerland friends like you hear you know, you
know you already know, but I love Tigerland.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It's just a vibe.
Speaker 2 (30:31):

was called Frost Music School.

back that energy. Like you know what I'm saying. You
gotta respect that.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
That makes HI one of the greats definitely.
Speaker 6 (33:30):

It's just like that was a lot of work.
Speaker 5 (33:35):

Deep research mode in order to make these bars sound
like this and this.

went straight to business. Yeah no, And it wasn't like
research on just Drake. It was like history. Yeah, like
he was.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
That's right now, it's coming, It's on this way.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
It's coming. Just you know, if it happens. It happens.
That's where I'm at right now. Whatever for me is
gonna come for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Why do you think you take things so personal so fast?
I do.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I don't know, maybe because I'm a little scuffy, I'm
love motional, but I take everything the heart, like yeah,
telling them like, I take everything the heart because I'm
just so passionate about what I do. Like everything that
I do, it comes from my heart. Everything I do
is genuine, Like if I don't want to do it,
I won't do it. So you know, that's why I
take everything in the gm. My mom be telling me, like,
you can't take it. Business ain't personal Like business is
(36:28):
personal you for real, like your moorials and your principles.
How you do business is about it's a personal reflection
of you. So I take everything personal because I do
everything from the heart and I just want everything to
be good.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah. So I think that's why things are gonna work out,
or things are working out because your heart's in it. Yeah.
You know, if your heart's not in it, man, it's
gonna fall flat.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
It comes over because you your heart gotta be in
it because that's what's gonna keep you disciplined when you
don't want to do it. It's so many days I
don't want to get a bed six am and workout.
But you know what I'm saying, it's like my heart
in it.

gives you that jolt where you just got to get up.
