You know, the last time we seen each other was
before the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, you told me I was You told me that
capricorns were boring. Yeah remember that? Yeah, I remember. I
held that in my heart. It bothered me. I've been
really living my life since now. I've been living my
life out lowed since then, going crazy in the streets
because of that, you gave me a complex. Now that cool.
Now I understand capricorns. Now what do you understand about them?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That they basically patient and scheduleized, like know how to
make sure everything is in order, right, and that's what
I need in my life. Yeah, but it was before
the pandemic. Was the last time I've seen you. So
since then, you know, uh, music was kind of like,
you know, it was hand and there.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It wasn't really kind of setting stone for me.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It was kind of like.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Not really knowing what direction I was going with and
life kind of caught up to me because I kind
of got a little distracted and.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah and then's boom seven years. Yeah, but what do
you mean life? Because I know you you've been pretty
public about some health struggles, right, and then I hear
something I've heard some of the music. I know we
dropping Friday, but like there's some stuff out there. I
don't know how much you want to share about that
or a lot of it is on the album.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You know, just a point in time in my life,
I was just kind of too consumed and you know,
negative energy and just moving fast and consuming alcohol a
little too more than I usually do a lot of
personal issues. Was you know, I was dealing with and
kind of you know, using alcohol and partying and escape
(02:45):
and you know, you know, situations like that, and you know,
it eventually caught up to me and.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I just had to you know, fight through it, get through,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And was it something serious? Was it like a health
thing that happened, or it was just you trying to
make some changes and.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yet no, it was it was the alcohol caught up
to me like it was liver issues.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I mean, yeah, it was liver issues. Yeah, it wasn't
that crazy. You could be going about your life and
have these big plans and you think this is what
this is, how this is what I got planned and
set up, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And taking taking things for a joke, you know what
I mean, thinking you know, nothing's gonna catch up to me,
just being in the midst of the moments and I
had to like, you know, get that. God had to
sit me down and say, yo, hey, you know, need
to slow down, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So that's how I kind of look at it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I don't really see it as like something that was
like ruin my life because I was. I was in
the situation like I was in that mindset of knowing,
like I'm gonna get through this, like it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I didn't feel like the end, you.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Didn't feel defeated. Yeah, I didn't feel defeated. I felt like, yeah,
let me slow down, let me rejuvenate myself. And then
I just feel like it was a lesson, a life
lesson learned for me to move different from from now on,
because I was, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Was going, well, something had to stop you, right, like
it must have been serious enough for Yeah, it was.
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, I was in the hospital and it was, you know,
on the verge of death.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Really wow, you know what I mean. I looked crazy
And did they say those words to you?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
No, but in a way yeah, you know, I don't
think they want to say those words. But just knowing
the you know, the stuff that was on that paperwork and.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
That all the procedures I had to do in the medicines.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I had a failure.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Were you having like yeah, it was like liver failure. Wow,
it was getting to that point.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah I had yeah, Wow, yeah, Wow, I got I
just I just I know somebody who just passed from
or from organ failure. It's on Thursday. You could be okay,
and then in two weeks you have some type of
situation and you have organ failure. Yeah, they caught.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Everything got caught just in time. I felt like if
I didn't go in, when I did go in, yeah wow,
I mean so yeah, for sure that'll wake your ass up.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
What did you learn? What was the not? Because you
know what, God hit you and it strikes you down
like that. I'm not saying it like that, but it
was when you get sat down like that something, there's
lessons that come in.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It was really like my physical appearance.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It was just like like I'm like, this ain't even me,
Like what the hell?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Like you know what I mean? How you look?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
How I look? How I felt.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's like even thinking about it right now, it's just
like it's a it's like a totally different place.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
To be in, like down there somewhere, and it's.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Like, but where did you get lost? Cause here's the thing, right, Like,
you're a young rapper, you're talking that ship on them songs,
you in the streets drinking, partying, and you built the
lifestyle literally around that. You built a career around that lifestyle. Well,
like when where did it go too far? Like what
did Like was it just too much alcohol? Like were
(05:52):
you drinking that much? Was it at that point in time? Yeah?
Like like at that.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Point, yeah, it was you know, prior today, it was
was occasional turn out with the Bros Type vibes. But
then I got into you know, I was dealing with
life and personal issues that it went to that lane.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It was like, it wasn't nothing I knew I was doing.
It was just something I knew.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
When I drink, I forget about things like I don't
bother me as much.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And I realizing the more I'm doing that, the more
I'm compressing.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You know, what I'm going through. I'm not facing I'm
not dealing with it. I'm trying to escape it, you
know what I mean. And that caught up to me.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah and yeah, and then you're in the hospital and
I'm in the hospital, and in that moment, I know
you're worried about your life more than your career or
music or anything like that. But is that coming out.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I wasn't thinking about my life. I'm not even gonna
hold you. I knew I was gonna get through. I
was thinking like then when I get out of here,
I need to get it together. Yeah I wasn't. Yeah
I wasn't. I was really still felting. I still kind
of felt normal. I just hate what, you know, what
was the circumstances at the time for me, you know,
physically and you know, the pills had to take, doctors
I had to see, and being in the hospital days
(06:57):
and weeks and stuff like that. But mind I was
always thinking about when I got out what I was
about to do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I didn't sit in that mindset.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's good, that's help.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
If I had a lot of people there to support
me too, you know, like family and you know, personal
people that I you know, know gonna be there for
me through those situations.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I feel like I've gotten on not just me, I
feel like people we have gotten like little pieces of it.
Just watching your health, I feel like you're on a
health journey right now and your in shape, and you're like,
I don't know, I feel like we've seen that part
of it, but I'm sure the lows nobody really sees
that right exactly when you're in it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, And that's why on this album, you know, I
speak on things, I get vulnerable and I know I'm
due for a documentary. You know, that's one thing for
sure I want to get you know, I mean, even
though it's something we're about to do, but I know
that's for sure. It's going to kind of paint the
picture a little more, just understanding my life in general,
you know what I mean, and seeing why these circumstances
(07:55):
may have happened at one point.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So and then when you're in the middle of this,
like are you thinking about the music? Like are you
thinking about like because you know, seven years is a
big window. I'm sure the people on your team. I'm
sure people in your surroundings were like, Yo, we gotta yo,
come on with or not really oh man, they was
getting getting right, like you get it together, like for
(08:19):
your health, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Music wasn't really the priority at place at that time.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They was more concerned about what was I doing to
my body, you know, and they knew I was going
to get back to that music, man, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So it's so crazy because we always hear about people,
you know, especially in our music. It's like drinking and
lifestyle and outside and all that's part of this part
of music right, But like, I don't know. I just
wonder where you think when somebody should be like, yo,
you might be you might be an unsafe. It's not
(08:55):
like like you're crossing a line of something that's like
vibes and party and good time and you crossing the
line to like really being in danger for yourself. And
I just wondered if you had any kind of idea
of ye you're talking about at the time when I
was just in that mix, like what you would say
that even young you, what would you say to you
seven years ago? Man, I knew like I knew like
(09:22):
you knew you was. I knew I was wiling. Man,
couldn't tell me how, tell me how bad?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Because I was I was thorough with the drinking like
I was. I would drink any like you know what
I mean, Like like after the long ass man like you,
I think.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I was like, yeah, I don't know how you do it.
I'm like, man, we do this, you know, having that,
and you were doing and you were doing that all
the time, and then it became it became no, it
actually became a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I think what made it bad was when I was
consuming alcohol for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It wasn't about the just occasional party, you know, good
time viobes, because.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It wasn't like I was addicted to liquor.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I just had a pointed time where I was trying
to escape with the liquor, you know what I mean.
It's like even before when I was like the times
I was with you and so I can chill and
I drink for a week, like I ain't drinking this week.
We did too much party the other day and chill,
But it was to a point where I couldn't put
the bottle down because I didn't you know, I didn't
know what the hell I was going through.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And then you got like the withdrawals too. That's scary, you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So it was just like something I never experienced before.
And too much consumption, you know, it messed with me internally.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So where you at it? Where you at with it now?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh, I don't drink at all at all? Yeah, And
I think it's more so it's like at a point
where now I'm like, like I had to get out
of that whatever that friend, Like I had to learn
how to.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Get to a peaceful point in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I think I always kind of avoided that reality, like
facing reality. And when I finally realized, you know, what
reality was, and was able to live through it, like
alcohol just no more was no longer fatter.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, it didn't serve me like so, and I don't
like to go out no more for real. So I
feel like, you know, there's no reason for me to drink,
you know what I mean, Like going out to the club.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I feel like you gotta drink to enjoy the club.
You back outside right now?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I'm back outside, but I've been outside. I've been outside.
I could be in the club and I see everybody drinking,
I'll be good. I'm like, no, I don't smoke.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Nothing, nothing. So you so you just be in the
club and looking at the club, looking around. If I
got booked, do you have like a club soda water?
Because when with the water bottle whenever I'm not drinking,
because sometimes I don't be feeling like drinking. Sometimes sometimes
I do enjoy a cocktail, but when I'm not drinking
and I don't want to be bothered about it, I
(11:44):
just get a club so that with a splash of granberry,
and I'll be in there with my line. I put
line like like a freak, a fake drink just because
I don't feel like arguing you're not drinking. I don't
even I don't even want to have this conversation with you,
so I just be doing a fake. I ain't a
lot of club it's trash if you don't drink. It's
like everybody you see, everybody's like.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You out, You're on the outside of everybody's bodies, just
really paying attention and see everybody just in that bubble
having a good time.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Does it look does the world? It's definitely different.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When you drinking, you in the club, you don't know
you in the club, you kind of like just in
the music, you around the vibes. When you not drinking,
you in the club, like you see the clubs, everything
you smell, ship like all type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's not a good time, it's not for so what
do you do for fun these days? Then? If it's
not the club.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Well, I've always like I've always kind of been like
a home body, like for real, like I go out,
you know what I mean, like if it's necessary and
if I'm bored, But like now I'm like more so
about business and money and and family. You know what
I mean, Like I'm kind of in that mindset. I
be good in just the crib chilling, chilling, you know
(12:59):
what I mean, like for real and if I got
to you know, if I get some type of you
know business or or music booking or something like that,
then you know, do what I do.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So what does the business look like it was? Was
that business affected by that whole season?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
No, for you, I got more into the business things
after that situation.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I was a little more focused.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What do you mean, like what business? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, like like real estate. Now I got the fitness
thing that I'm doing. So I got a fitness line
that I started up. It's called Canar Fitness. Is where
my brother in issues, so it's basically through him. And yeah,
like just stuff like and the of course back into
the music again, back where I left or.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What is that like? Doing the music? So yeah, yeah,
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's tough because most musicians, musicians, uh sometimes need a
smoke or drink to kind.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Of get the vibe.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You used to have both, right, Yeah, I would smoke
a hooka pen vape type thing. I wasn't crazy on
you know, smoking weed, like that was like sometimes when
I have a drink, I smoked some weed, but I
was never a heavy weed smoker.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Really, yeah, there's I don't I put that on you.
I thought you was I did you know? In and
out didn't that? But I'm not crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
But yeah, a little vague and a little drink, you
know what I mean, and be in the studio. I
could be just by myself and just get into that vibe.
But now you know, sober, I mean, I've always I've
been making mutic I was a kid. I was drinking
when I was a kid, tell me. So I know
it's in me to do it. Wasn't like that was
always necessary, but it does take the edge off quick
and you kind of feel the more comfort in your
(14:33):
in your zone. See, being sober now and doing the music,
you kind of gotta find that, you know, that inspiration. Yeah,
you kind of gotta find it. But it's in me
so like that dog is in me regardless. So it
ain't take no time for me to get comfortable in
that zone. So yeah, it ain't about nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So you on your leg. So this so this project
is like I don't know, is it like the accumulation
of the past seven years or the past this, Yeah,
yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, tapping in on you know what it was and
you know what was the situation then just also you
know re Rea, you know, picking up where I left
off and still good music, still fun music.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
It ain't all the way depressing and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And then I'm kind of I'm kind of kind of
I'm kind of more in my bag with you know,
the females, like women, I'm trying to go more into
the vibe for them, like you know with music.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You know what I mean, what does that mean? I
don't even know what is it? Because you always say
I'm making music for the women. I'm like, I like heart,
like I like bars, and like I'm for me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'm gonna say more so for me because I haven't
really too much tapped into that lane a lot, you
know what I mean, like making music for females specifically,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So that's really it not really like.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You mean in terms of storytelling or be so like
the sound of the music.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's the actual song in itself, Yeah, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So, yeah, because a lot of my music of it
ain't really is you know, it's it's diverse, like it's
for men female, but I'm kind of talking about songs
that specifically.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
For females, like what give me some subjects? Like you
do be talking to dudes like a dancer, Oh, like
a dancer, like.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Dancer, strippers, a baddie. I mean, you know, I got
records like that, but I'm saying, like on this album,
I kind of got like a good three of them
on there on one album. You know, I'm kind of
more into that, to that side of things when they
come to those type of records.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
But yeah, and then I'm popping it, you know what
i mean, letting them know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm still independent, and I'm still the Queen, still the
King and the Queen still from the towns. I'm still
you know, big New York, big Brooklyn, and I ain't done.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's not over. I feel like we feel like people
thought you were done.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think it's people who thought, like, you know, you
know what's going on with her, you know what I mean.
And then I don't think it was majority. I think
majority was just rooting for me, you know what I mean.
That's basically what I've seen. But you know, it's people,
you know, praying on your downfall.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You felt that, I ain't knowing. I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I don't think I feel it because you know, I'm
covered by God. But I know it's out there, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But yeah, yeah, Also, the music business is so even
from seven years ago to now, I feel like everything's
so different.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
So different, so different. I speak on that kind of
on the album too. It's very different.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So how you navigate? Like is it? I don't know
what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I know how to adapt, you know too, At the
same time, like you know, I kind of do my homework.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Like having all this.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Time, I kind of was able to observe everything and
know how to jump back in it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But yeah, what is it? What are you feeling right now? Like?
What is I don't know what's motivating you? What's aspiring an?
You want to know what's going on? Like what's not
what's motivating you? It's making you want to work? I
don't know. I need that's always motivation? Is there anybody good?
Any mute? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
That's and that's something I was talking to my people
is about.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I'm like, yo, it ain't like back then it would
be something I see and be like, oh yeah, nah,
let me.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You know what I mean that it was not that
it's like you gotta.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Really search or you got to look for old stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I gotta look at my old stuff to kind of
find that that motivation for you know, new vibes. But yeah, man,
it's ain't really nothing that motivates, you know, and and
gott to find that. We gotta fond it because everybody's
on on on podcasters and everybody's talking about their life.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yo, you should do a podcast. You should do the
young man. I want my health all my health ship.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Man, that's what I got came for. Y'all gonna see me,
you know, working out and stuff like that. I'm not
you know, clothes and you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Don't you just want to talk about it. But you
know what I mean, you can have I'm just saying
this works for rappers. It's like on the side in
between projects people, we've got podcasts. You don't see this
for yourself, nah, not being out not having a podcast. Nah,
I don't know. You don't even like you don't even
like too much doing interview.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't even yeah exactly, I don't even really go
crazy with sitting down doing interviews and speaking on stuff anyway,
like that's what the music is for.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, I just like to you know, I'm gonna show.
I gotta show. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I gotta show myself more, you know what I mean.
Like kind of being low key in out the spotlight.
Isn't you know now isn't as you know what I mean, popular,
not popular, but like valuable as it was then. Like
now you kind of gotta keep you know, being seen
in a sense. But I'm gonna still know how to
balance it because I'm still not gonna oversaturate myself. I mean,
(19:43):
my supporters be they always there to support they know why,
No know, when I need that time, you know, they
be patient with me and they respect it, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So that must feel dope when you're in the middle
of going through that, to know that there is like
you got fans, that you got people that's like.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, man, they like family man baby rooting for you
right byby in the comments. If somebody say something like
wear the music, they be like, be patient, she gotta
she's coming.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Like doing that. You don't even have to argue that's
not that's so good, all right, So tell me about
the business thing. So what how do we cause.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
There it's called cannar Fit right now, I'm in the
works of getting the paperwork right far as like for
the merchandise and production and stuff like that. So I
should be because it was like a lot of back
and forth because a lot of stuff I wasn't you know,
proving of, and you know, the business has gotta be right,
and I don't want nobody to feel like this is

this year. It's a New York thing.
Speaker 2 (29:17):

A little more less gimmicky gimme yeah, it was a
little more funneran like cool.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Now. No, Okay, you're in the studio. Somebody digs into
your food delivery without asking checking. You're just checking everything.
I'm checking that because it's not okay, because what are
you doing? Next?
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Someone texts you and then sends another text message after
you not responding in a timely fashion.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Do you check out or you let it slide? I
probably let it slide, you know, why because I just
don't just still ignore it again.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I'm not about stop texting.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
It's just like, oh yeah, you you definitely getting ignored
now doing too much.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Can't say, let's see what you got here. See somebody's
relationship with your girls here, So we're not gonna do
that to her. All right, all right, you're going it. Okay,
this is not for you. This is just generic girlfriend questions. Okay,
(31:51):
check it on the side. Your girl says, if you
really love her, you would give her the cold to
your phone. Do you check that or do you let
it slide? It's like kind of both, she read, but
(32:11):
it's a sort subject. I'm sorry if I brought up something.
I mean, I let it slide. Really nothing to hide,
no no nothing, no no no no. Sometimes it could
be nothing to hide. But you just read things wrong.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
That's why I said I was trying to think about it. Yeah,
because she would kind of read things wrong.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But no, it's nothing hot, so you let us let
us lie. Wow. I love that for y'all. Yeah, for sure,
Like I love that for y'all. I haven't been there.
I haven't been there yet.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Someone new in your circle can't stop recording every moment
on social media.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You already. No, she's checking that ship. She don't want
to have that ship. Uh, check it or let it slide.
Let's see another girl, friend, another relationship one, let me
see I get it. Okay, hold on, hold up, now,
let's go on another rapper. Let's call it another rapper.
You hear a new song just came out on the radio,
(33:17):
and this new rapper is using your exact flow and style.
Do you check it or do you let it slide?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
No, I'm gonna say let it slide, because can't nobody
be me, can't be me, You cannot be me, So
I doubt that I'm gonna let that slide.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
You got that, man, for sure, you got one more.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You find out your girl went and see your phone
without you knowing.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They be in the phone, in the phone, be in
the phones.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I know your girl went and see your phone without
you knowing and shared your location, so she knows where
you are all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I'm checking, why are you doing all that? And now
you're looking at her. She didn't do it. She didn't
do it. It wasn't the game. That's what I think.
In the past, she would have DoD that. Now, I
(34:18):
don't think she would do that, but she didn't do it,
just so we don't want to put that on. Wasn't her,
wasn't aboard the game? The game, let's check it out.
Albums out on Friday. We got chor dates on the site.
Anything else people need to know. Oh man, that's it right,

(00:28):
did the interview for sure? No, we really because we're
talking small problems. That's right. I love you. That was
a good time. That was my sh No. But then
there was another conversation that we had after that. Maybe
it was off air, maybe it was off I feel
like we have connected, and I know you've been through
(00:49):
a lot in the past. However many years, but shiit
seven that's seven damn seven years for sure? All right,
give me the give me the headlines of the past
seven years of your life. What's been happening? Was life?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah? Right, yeah, I think you know it was right before.
You know, the last time we seen each other was
before the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, you told me I was You told me that
capricorns were boring. Yeah remember that? Yeah, I remember. I
held that in my heart. It bothered me. I've been
really living my life since now. I've been living my
life out lowed since then, going crazy in the streets
because of that, you gave me a complex. Now that cool.
Now I understand capricorns. Now what do you understand about them?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That they basically patient and scheduleized, like know how to
make sure everything is in order, right, and that's what
I need in my life. Yeah, but it was before
the pandemic. Was the last time I've seen you. So
since then, you know, uh, music was kind of like,
you know, it was hand and there.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It wasn't really kind of setting stone for me.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It was kind of like.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Not really knowing what direction I was going with and
life kind of caught up to me because I kind
of got a little distracted and.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah and then's boom seven years. Yeah, but what do
you mean life? Because I know you you've been pretty
public about some health struggles, right, and then I hear
something I've heard some of the music. I know we
dropping Friday, but like there's some stuff out there. I
don't know how much you want to share about that
or a lot of it is on the album.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You know, just a point in time in my life,
I was just kind of too consumed and you know,
negative energy and just moving fast and consuming alcohol a
little too more than I usually do a lot of
personal issues. Was you know, I was dealing with and
kind of you know, using alcohol and partying and escape
(02:45):
and you know, you know, situations like that, and you know,
it eventually caught up to me and.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I just had to you know, fight through it, get through,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And was it something serious? Was it like a health
thing that happened, or it was just you trying to
make some changes and.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yet no, it was it was the alcohol caught up
to me like it was liver issues.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I mean, yeah, it was liver issues. Yeah, it wasn't
that crazy. You could be going about your life and
have these big plans and you think this is what
this is, how this is what I got planned and
set up, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And taking taking things for a joke, you know what
I mean, thinking you know, nothing's gonna catch up to me,
just being in the midst of the moments and I
had to like, you know, get that. God had to
sit me down and say, yo, hey, you know, need
to slow down, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So that's how I kind of look at it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I don't really see it as like something that was
like ruin my life because I was. I was in
the situation like I was in that mindset of knowing,
like I'm gonna get through this, like it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I didn't feel like the end, you.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Didn't feel defeated. Yeah, I didn't feel defeated. I felt like, yeah,
let me slow down, let me rejuvenate myself. And then
I just feel like it was a lesson, a life
lesson learned for me to move different from from now on,
because I was, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Was going, well, something had to stop you, right, like
it must have been serious enough for Yeah, it was.
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, I was in the hospital and it was, you know,
on the verge of death.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Really wow, you know what I mean. I looked crazy
And did they say those words to you?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
No, but in a way yeah, you know, I don't
think they want to say those words. But just knowing
the you know, the stuff that was on that paperwork and.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
That all the procedures I had to do in the medicines.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I had a failure.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Were you having like yeah, it was like liver failure. Wow,
it was getting to that point.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah I had yeah, Wow, yeah, Wow, I got I
just I just I know somebody who just passed from
or from organ failure. It's on Thursday. You could be okay,
and then in two weeks you have some type of
situation and you have organ failure. Yeah, they caught.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Everything got caught just in time. I felt like if
I didn't go in, when I did go in, yeah wow,
I mean so yeah, for sure that'll wake your ass up.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
What did you learn? What was the not? Because you
know what, God hit you and it strikes you down
like that. I'm not saying it like that, but it
was when you get sat down like that something, there's
lessons that come in.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It was really like my physical appearance.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It was just like like I'm like, this ain't even me,
Like what the hell?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Like you know what I mean? How you look?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
How I look? How I felt.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's like even thinking about it right now, it's just
like it's a it's like a totally different place.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
To be in, like down there somewhere, and it's.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Like, but where did you get lost? Cause here's the thing, right, Like,
you're a young rapper, you're talking that ship on them songs,
you in the streets drinking, partying, and you built the
lifestyle literally around that. You built a career around that lifestyle. Well,
like when where did it go too far? Like what
did Like was it just too much alcohol? Like were
(05:52):
you drinking that much? Was it at that point in time? Yeah?
Like like at that.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Point, yeah, it was you know, prior today, it was
was occasional turn out with the Bros Type vibes. But
then I got into you know, I was dealing with
life and personal issues that it went to that lane.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It was like, it wasn't nothing I knew I was doing.
It was just something I knew.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
When I drink, I forget about things like I don't
bother me as much.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And I realizing the more I'm doing that, the more
I'm compressing.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You know, what I'm going through. I'm not facing I'm
not dealing with it. I'm trying to escape it, you
know what I mean. And that caught up to me.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah and yeah, and then you're in the hospital and
I'm in the hospital, and in that moment, I know
you're worried about your life more than your career or
music or anything like that. But is that coming out.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I wasn't thinking about my life. I'm not even gonna
hold you. I knew I was gonna get through. I
was thinking like then when I get out of here,
I need to get it together. Yeah I wasn't. Yeah
I wasn't. I was really still felting. I still kind
of felt normal. I just hate what, you know, what
was the circumstances at the time for me, you know,
physically and you know, the pills had to take, doctors
I had to see, and being in the hospital days
(06:57):
and weeks and stuff like that. But mind I was
always thinking about when I got out what I was
about to do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I didn't sit in that mindset.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's good, that's help.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
If I had a lot of people there to support
me too, you know, like family and you know, personal
people that I you know, know gonna be there for
me through those situations.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I feel like I've gotten on not just me, I
feel like people we have gotten like little pieces of it.
Just watching your health, I feel like you're on a
health journey right now and your in shape, and you're like,
I don't know, I feel like we've seen that part
of it, but I'm sure the lows nobody really sees
that right exactly when you're in it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, And that's why on this album, you know, I
speak on things, I get vulnerable and I know I'm
due for a documentary. You know, that's one thing for
sure I want to get you know, I mean, even
though it's something we're about to do, but I know
that's for sure. It's going to kind of paint the
picture a little more, just understanding my life in general,
you know what I mean, and seeing why these circumstances
(07:55):
may have happened at one point.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So and then when you're in the middle of this,
like are you thinking about the music? Like are you
thinking about like because you know, seven years is a
big window. I'm sure the people on your team. I'm
sure people in your surroundings were like, Yo, we gotta yo,
come on with or not really oh man, they was
getting getting right, like you get it together, like for
(08:19):
your health, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Music wasn't really the priority at place at that time.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They was more concerned about what was I doing to
my body, you know, and they knew I was going
to get back to that music, man, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So it's so crazy because we always hear about people,
you know, especially in our music. It's like drinking and
lifestyle and outside and all that's part of this part
of music right, But like, I don't know. I just
wonder where you think when somebody should be like, yo,
you might be you might be an unsafe. It's not
(08:55):
like like you're crossing a line of something that's like
vibes and party and good time and you crossing the
line to like really being in danger for yourself. And
I just wondered if you had any kind of idea
of ye you're talking about at the time when I
was just in that mix, like what you would say
that even young you, what would you say to you
seven years ago? Man, I knew like I knew like
(09:22):
you knew you was. I knew I was wiling. Man,
couldn't tell me how, tell me how bad?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Because I was I was thorough with the drinking like
I was. I would drink any like you know what
I mean, Like like after the long ass man like you,
I think.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I was like, yeah, I don't know how you do it.
I'm like, man, we do this, you know, having that,
and you were doing and you were doing that all
the time, and then it became it became no, it
actually became a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I think what made it bad was when I was
consuming alcohol for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It wasn't about the just occasional party, you know, good
time viobes, because.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It wasn't like I was addicted to liquor.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I just had a pointed time where I was trying
to escape with the liquor, you know what I mean.
It's like even before when I was like the times
I was with you and so I can chill and
I drink for a week, like I ain't drinking this week.
We did too much party the other day and chill,
But it was to a point where I couldn't put
the bottle down because I didn't you know, I didn't
know what the hell I was going through.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And then you got like the withdrawals too. That's scary, you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So it was just like something I never experienced before.
And too much consumption, you know, it messed with me internally.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So where you at it? Where you at with it now?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh, I don't drink at all at all? Yeah, And
I think it's more so it's like at a point
where now I'm like, like I had to get out
of that whatever that friend, Like I had to learn
how to.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Get to a peaceful point in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I think I always kind of avoided that reality, like
facing reality. And when I finally realized, you know, what
reality was, and was able to live through it, like
alcohol just no more was no longer fatter.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, it didn't serve me like so, and I don't
like to go out no more for real. So I
feel like, you know, there's no reason for me to drink,
you know what I mean, Like going out to the club.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I feel like you gotta drink to enjoy the club.
You back outside right now?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I'm back outside, but I've been outside. I've been outside.
I could be in the club and I see everybody drinking,
I'll be good. I'm like, no, I don't smoke.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Nothing, nothing. So you so you just be in the
club and looking at the club, looking around. If I
got booked, do you have like a club soda water?
Because when with the water bottle whenever I'm not drinking,
because sometimes I don't be feeling like drinking. Sometimes sometimes
I do enjoy a cocktail, but when I'm not drinking
and I don't want to be bothered about it, I
(11:44):
just get a club so that with a splash of granberry,
and I'll be in there with my line. I put
line like like a freak, a fake drink just because
I don't feel like arguing you're not drinking. I don't
even I don't even want to have this conversation with you,
so I just be doing a fake. I ain't a
lot of club it's trash if you don't drink. It's
like everybody you see, everybody's like.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You out, You're on the outside of everybody's bodies, just
really paying attention and see everybody just in that bubble
having a good time.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Does it look does the world? It's definitely different.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When you drinking, you in the club, you don't know
you in the club, you kind of like just in
the music, you around the vibes. When you not drinking,
you in the club, like you see the clubs, everything
you smell, ship like all type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's not a good time, it's not for so what
do you do for fun these days? Then? If it's
not the club.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Well, I've always like I've always kind of been like
a home body, like for real, like I go out,
you know what I mean, like if it's necessary and
if I'm bored, But like now I'm like more so
about business and money and and family. You know what
I mean, Like I'm kind of in that mindset. I
be good in just the crib chilling, chilling, you know
(12:59):
what I mean, like for real and if I got
to you know, if I get some type of you
know business or or music booking or something like that,
then you know, do what I do.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So what does the business look like it was? Was
that business affected by that whole season?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
No, for you, I got more into the business things
after that situation.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I was a little more focused.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What do you mean, like what business? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, like like real estate. Now I got the fitness
thing that I'm doing. So I got a fitness line
that I started up. It's called Canar Fitness. Is where
my brother in issues, so it's basically through him. And yeah,
like just stuff like and the of course back into
the music again, back where I left or.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What is that like? Doing the music? So yeah, yeah,
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's tough because most musicians, musicians, uh sometimes need a
smoke or drink to kind.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Of get the vibe.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You used to have both, right, Yeah, I would smoke
a hooka pen vape type thing. I wasn't crazy on
you know, smoking weed, like that was like sometimes when
I have a drink, I smoked some weed, but I
was never a heavy weed smoker.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Really, yeah, there's I don't I put that on you.
I thought you was I did you know? In and
out didn't that? But I'm not crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
But yeah, a little vague and a little drink, you
know what I mean, and be in the studio. I
could be just by myself and just get into that vibe.
But now you know, sober, I mean, I've always I've
been making mutic I was a kid. I was drinking
when I was a kid, tell me. So I know
it's in me to do it. Wasn't like that was
always necessary, but it does take the edge off quick
and you kind of feel the more comfort in your
(14:33):
in your zone. See, being sober now and doing the music,
you kind of gotta find that, you know, that inspiration. Yeah,
you kind of gotta find it. But it's in me
so like that dog is in me regardless. So it
ain't take no time for me to get comfortable in
that zone. So yeah, it ain't about nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So you on your leg. So this so this project
is like I don't know, is it like the accumulation
of the past seven years or the past this, Yeah,
yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, tapping in on you know what it was and
you know what was the situation then just also you
know re Rea, you know, picking up where I left
off and still good music, still fun music.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
It ain't all the way depressing and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And then I'm kind of I'm kind of kind of
I'm kind of more in my bag with you know,
the females, like women, I'm trying to go more into
the vibe for them, like you know with music.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You know what I mean, what does that mean? I
don't even know what is it? Because you always say
I'm making music for the women. I'm like, I like heart,
like I like bars, and like I'm for me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'm gonna say more so for me because I haven't
really too much tapped into that lane a lot, you
know what I mean, like making music for females specifically,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So that's really it not really like.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You mean in terms of storytelling or be so like
the sound of the music.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's the actual song in itself, Yeah, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So, yeah, because a lot of my music of it
ain't really is you know, it's it's diverse, like it's
for men female, but I'm kind of talking about songs
that specifically.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
For females, like what give me some subjects? Like you
do be talking to dudes like a dancer, Oh, like
a dancer, like.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Dancer, strippers, a baddie. I mean, you know, I got
records like that, but I'm saying, like on this album,
I kind of got like a good three of them
on there on one album. You know, I'm kind of
more into that, to that side of things when they
come to those type of records.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
But yeah, and then I'm popping it, you know what
i mean, letting them know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm still independent, and I'm still the Queen, still the
King and the Queen still from the towns. I'm still
you know, big New York, big Brooklyn, and I ain't done.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's not over. I feel like we feel like people
thought you were done.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think it's people who thought, like, you know, you
know what's going on with her, you know what I mean.
And then I don't think it was majority. I think
majority was just rooting for me, you know what I mean.
That's basically what I've seen. But you know, it's people,
you know, praying on your downfall.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You felt that, I ain't knowing. I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I don't think I feel it because you know, I'm
covered by God. But I know it's out there, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But yeah, yeah, Also, the music business is so even
from seven years ago to now, I feel like everything's
so different.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
So different, so different. I speak on that kind of
on the album too. It's very different.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So how you navigate? Like is it? I don't know
what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I know how to adapt, you know too, At the
same time, like you know, I kind of do my homework.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Like having all this.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Time, I kind of was able to observe everything and
know how to jump back in it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But yeah, what is it? What are you feeling right now? Like?
What is I don't know what's motivating you? What's aspiring an?
You want to know what's going on? Like what's not
what's motivating you? It's making you want to work? I
don't know. I need that's always motivation? Is there anybody good?
Any mute? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
That's and that's something I was talking to my people
is about.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I'm like, yo, it ain't like back then it would
be something I see and be like, oh yeah, nah,
let me.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You know what I mean that it was not that
it's like you gotta.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Really search or you got to look for old stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I gotta look at my old stuff to kind of
find that that motivation for you know, new vibes. But yeah, man,
it's ain't really nothing that motivates, you know, and and
gott to find that. We gotta fond it because everybody's
on on on podcasters and everybody's talking about their life.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yo, you should do a podcast. You should do the
young man. I want my health all my health ship.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Man, that's what I got came for. Y'all gonna see me,
you know, working out and stuff like that. I'm not
you know, clothes and you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Don't you just want to talk about it. But you
know what I mean, you can have I'm just saying
this works for rappers. It's like on the side in
between projects people, we've got podcasts. You don't see this
for yourself, nah, not being out not having a podcast. Nah,
I don't know. You don't even like you don't even
like too much doing interview.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't even yeah exactly, I don't even really go
crazy with sitting down doing interviews and speaking on stuff anyway,
like that's what the music is for.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, I just like to you know, I'm gonna show.
I gotta show. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I gotta show myself more, you know what I mean.
Like kind of being low key in out the spotlight.
Isn't you know now isn't as you know what I mean, popular,
not popular, but like valuable as it was then. Like
now you kind of gotta keep you know, being seen
in a sense. But I'm gonna still know how to
balance it because I'm still not gonna oversaturate myself. I mean,
(19:43):
my supporters be they always there to support they know why,
No know, when I need that time, you know, they
be patient with me and they respect it, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So that must feel dope when you're in the middle
of going through that, to know that there is like
you got fans, that you got people that's like.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, man, they like family man baby rooting for you
right byby in the comments. If somebody say something like
wear the music, they be like, be patient, she gotta
she's coming.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Like doing that. You don't even have to argue that's
not that's so good, all right, So tell me about
the business thing. So what how do we cause.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
There it's called cannar Fit right now, I'm in the
works of getting the paperwork right far as like for
the merchandise and production and stuff like that. So I
should be because it was like a lot of back
and forth because a lot of stuff I wasn't you know,
proving of, and you know, the business has gotta be right,
and I don't want nobody to feel like this is
something that's gonna.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Be a partnership.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Like it's more so I just need you to move
get the product done for me. I'm gonna do all
other stuff, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But what is it? Is their products or it's gonna
be products. It's like it's a lifestyle thing.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So it's like you know, fitness, working out, eating, right,

you know, that's that's kind of part of the game.
But I'm actually creating a gym because I was going
to the gym by my house, and I had like
a little room set up, but it wasn't enough. So
now I'm in the process of turning my garage into
a gym. It was kind of almost done. Now I'm
just so I could be hands on, like home with it.
(21:22):
And then I was going to Miami for like a
month training with a trainer out there, going yeah, yeah,
not Miami is kind of like the home of that
type of stuff. Like it's a lot of that out there.
It's very active with fitness and stuff like that. I
met a lot of people out of networking and stuff
like that. So yeah, so yeah, it's not just about

physical working out.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Someone texts you and then sends another text message after
you not responding in a timely fashion.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Do you check out or you let it slide? I
probably let it slide, you know, why because I just
don't just still ignore it again.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I'm not about stop texting.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
It's just like, oh yeah, you you definitely getting ignored
now doing too much.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Can't say, let's see what you got here. See somebody's
relationship with your girls here, So we're not gonna do
that to her. All right, all right, you're going it. Okay,
this is not for you. This is just generic girlfriend questions. Okay,
(31:51):
check it on the side. Your girl says, if you
really love her, you would give her the cold to
your phone. Do you check that or do you let
it slide? It's like kind of both, she read, but
(32:11):
it's a sort subject. I'm sorry if I brought up something.
I mean, I let it slide. Really nothing to hide,
no no nothing, no no no no. Sometimes it could
be nothing to hide. But you just read things wrong.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
That's why I said I was trying to think about it. Yeah,
because she would kind of read things wrong.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But no, it's nothing hot, so you let us let
us lie. Wow. I love that for y'all. Yeah, for sure,
Like I love that for y'all. I haven't been there.
I haven't been there yet.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Someone new in your circle can't stop recording every moment
on social media.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You already. No, she's checking that ship. She don't want
to have that ship. Uh, check it or let it slide.
Let's see another girl, friend, another relationship one, let me
see I get it. Okay, hold on, hold up, now,
let's go on another rapper. Let's call it another rapper.
You hear a new song just came out on the radio,
(33:17):
and this new rapper is using your exact flow and style.
Do you check it or do you let it slide?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
No, I'm gonna say let it slide, because can't nobody
be me, can't be me, You cannot be me, So
I doubt that I'm gonna let that slide.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
You got that, man, for sure, you got one more.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You find out your girl went and see your phone
without you knowing.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They be in the phone, in the phone, be in
the phones.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I know your girl went and see your phone without
you knowing and shared your location, so she knows where
you are all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I'm checking, why are you doing all that? And now
you're looking at her. She didn't do it. She didn't
do it. It wasn't the game. That's what I think.
In the past, she would have DoD that. Now, I
(34:18):
don't think she would do that, but she didn't do it,
just so we don't want to put that on. Wasn't her,
wasn't aboard the game? The game, let's check it out.
Albums out on Friday. We got chor dates on the site.
Anything else people need to know. Oh man, that's it right,
that's we're back. No no, no home strutch that we
(34:40):

We're just picking up what we left. That is young everybody.
