Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake that ass up in the morning Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yes, we are the world more Dangerous Morning Show, The
Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God just hilarious. DJ Nvy is
out the day, but we got our guy in the building.
He's got a new album coming out on July third.
Trade of Truth is hell.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
How you doing, man? You got your little one with you? Yes,
she don't even.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Got damn about nothing.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
She will pop in when she wants to. But on
that game, yeah, when she playing, she wants to go ahead,
You're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
How long you've been asking you for that trade?
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Because she chew it and then spit out gum there
and want more. She just should do it all day.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
But so how much softer has she made you?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I think that you got trade doing tiktoks trade dancing.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I love it, though, but this is what you want
to you know, this is exactly what you're getting, exactly
what you wanted, what you asked for and everything. So
it's good to see you and Dad moved.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Yeah, Mensal a full time job that people really treat
her as management.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So like I did.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I was doing the interview in Atlanta a day ago
and I couldn't do the interview unless they brought her
her boat Jangles hid.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So right now we're fulfilling her riders.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I know that's right now. The new album is called
Angel tell Us Why of course.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You know, it's inspired by my daughter, you know, my
whole the whole process of everything I went through. I
think this album probably people say, would be the most
vulnerable I've been as far as most just open about
everything I was going through. And it means a lot
to me. I mean, it means a lot to me.
You know, I've always been able to do dope music,
(01:51):
but this album was recorded in the process of what
I was going through. So this one definitely gonna be
And I think it's just a climate of the culture.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Man.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Everybody going through rough and dark chimes right now, so
everybody ain't always club wise or turned up.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
You know these days over Yeah, I'm gonna say because
Houston is the part.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Of what I'm talking about for our era, because you know,
we've grown, Like who are making the music for us?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Now? You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
What's what's in your deck right now? That's still it
depends because I ended up listening to songs.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's more than like projects, right, Like I'm listening to
that new Eric about doing Alchemists. I've been riding the
Ray Vaughn this year as far as the younger is concerned,
the good, the bad, and the dollar menu.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You've been listening to the flutes. Been definitely put.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
A piano album. The piano album, So that's probably that's
pretty much. I listened to like singles. I don't listen
to like full projects that much.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Is it because nobody puts something together as a whole,
you like.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think that's what it is. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Because if it's a full that I like, like I
listened to GNX, you know what I mean. Like I said,
I listened to Rayvaughond. But if it's not a full
project that I like, I'm just gonna go to singles.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
That was your album in story mode because I know
that was a long process that you had to go through.
Right now, is it in story mode? And is it
like when I mean by story mode from the beginning
to now?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I think I think each part touches just different moments
within that was happening in different moments within my life.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's not like necessarily.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
In the order of how things happen, but I think
it's set up to from start to finish, you you'll
get the feel that you need, you know, every every
every moment, and that definitely would be a different highlight,
you know. But for me it's it's a lot of
people say, you know, a lot of people have their
favorite picks of my album, but for me personally, this
(03:54):
would probably be one of my favorites right now.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, I mean because it's close to home for sure.
The therapeutic the write this project.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yes, uh, it wasn't even writing.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
What happened was when I when they finally got me
the to leave LA to take a break, you know,
because the main thing that was being pressed to me
was sometimes I could be in God's way if I'm
trying to do it my way. So I finally got
to understand and if I leave, go do something like
(04:25):
like like work getting the process of things I love.
So I went for like probably like three days and
I just recorded back to back. Wasn't even necessarily right now,
I ain't wrote music and so long I just go
in there and just get it off. So the two
things I did when I left LA for that short
amount of time, I did the album and then I
went to help with the hurricane and the Carolina so
(04:48):
you know those two things that give me my energy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, yeah, is it was it any song on the
project that you felt like, well, you broke down, like
it was very a challenging.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I think you.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I think through the project you will hear different stuff,
and I think it was displayed a certain way to it.
It almost makes other people break down on they here,
you know what I'm saying. So it's a lot of
moments in there like that, you know, but it's a
lot of proud moments too, like you know, I got
the record all right on there with Look Crazy and
Truth featured on that. Like you know, it's different moments
(05:25):
that it's just a whole roller coaster, but it's set
up the right way.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So baby girls on the album, yeah that a couple
of times Okay, she rapping or she just talking, she
popping her.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Gun, she was singing, but she sung on this album.
But you know she wraps, She do a thing whatever
she feels like doing.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's why she got to write her That's right. What
was that feeling like?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
When you cause you know she Truth was reported missing
back in all into twenty twenty four. What was that
moment like when you first found her, Like when you
realized she was good and you was about to go
see her.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Man was excitement, nervous, your brain moving a thousand miles
power because you're wondering, how is this first thing actually
gonna be?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is it gonna be? Man? I missed you, Pops. Is
it's gonna be? Uh, I've been away from you for
a minute.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I'm cautious. So it was just Man, it was a lot.
Funny part is when I got the car, jumped up
because I got it on New Year's I had just
went to church that night for New Year's and I
got up. I got the car like five from the
US MARSLS and they like, we found there and they're
(06:42):
close to the ball to Mexico. So I jumped out
the bed. I'm running from the bed to the bathroom
when all the while I'm supposed to be trying to
get dressing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
After twenty minutes of.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Going back and forth and absolutely doing nothing and living,
you know, I was in a whole world nervous. But
my youngest son, Houston, he was upstairs. I'm like, man, bro,
we gotta go. He there's thirty minutes. We went, We
booked a flight, we flew to San Diego.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
My bro Rob.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Picked us up in San Diego and we drove down
to the border. So when I get there, man, you know,
I'm nervous the whole time. So finally when we when
I first seen her, if if you've seen the video,
she was a little hesitant, you know, because you know,
at this point, I don't know what's going through. It
is so but at the end of the day, she
do know I'm Pops, and she know I'm always gonna
(07:32):
protect her. So she come to me. I can tell
she was with mixed emotion. But when I tell her
turn around and she's seeing her brother, it's like I
always forgotten At that moment, it was like she was like, yeah,
I'm back with my guys at that moment. And from
that moment to as we sit here now, we've been
non stop together. You know what I'm saying, It's a
(07:55):
lot because it it makes me a like to think
all of just you know, from being in the streets
to the music to everything else.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Now most of my.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Days, if I'm not sitting up watching cartoons of us
and taking her to a trampoline, making sure she.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Get through school.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Now, that was another hard moment though, Like when she
first came back, she didn't want to be around no
other kids. She was like, wow, I want to do homeschool.
And I kept, I kept, you know, we were working,
but I kept personally like, man, just try to be around.
So when I finally got her a go, she agreed
to go for like maybe an hour or two a day.
So I would sit outside the door so she anytime
(08:38):
she come look through that crack, I'll be just sitting
on a chair Till she was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And we worked and she very short.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
So even missing all the months of school, like four
or five months, she came through, ended up graduating her class,
top of her class.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And she don't go nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Was there any conversations with them, with her mother. That's it, Dang,
you don't even know why she did what she did.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I'ma be honest man. I do my best not to
even go there to too much speak about it, you
know what I'm saying, As far as I just really
focus on making sure her days happy, making sure we
focus and I'm doing everything I can to be the
best fall I can, because I feel like when that
time comes, it'll come, but you know, at the end
of the day, it's silent in God's hands. And then
(09:26):
I be real big on what I say because we
never had a conversation about that, Like, you know, I
don't speak on that with her. It's strictly what we
got going on. And you know, with us, it's a
full time job, you know, truth from singing to acting,
to energy to nash you on her YouTube too, Instagram
(09:52):
to it be a lot, a lot with her. But
you know, it's a good thing because we blessed to
be able to bring our kids into our world, but
then to watch them do their own thing too. So
and I'm not forcing.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Herd with thathing, you know, yeah are you are you
giving the dad okay or the dad yes to the YouTube?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
One thing they know, I ain't playing with my baby.
So but the thing is she's always all my kids
always had their own fan base based off them being
my kids. So a lot of the world in Houston
and a lot of the world in the industry, they
watched them grow up as a whole because you got up,
we did the BT. You would think, of course everybody
excided to see me, but they're probably just more excited
(10:34):
to see us. So you see her on pictures with everybody,
So yeah, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, You've been through so many losses man battles with
you know, radio stations and lawsuits, but you always stay tall,
like like what kept you grounded during the moments when
people like really tried.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
To silence you with like just just hold trade back.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, God, definitely, God.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
God is the key to all man because what I've
learned and even now I'm going through the learning process
of having faith more because you know, I feel I
have faith, but I guess he may expect a little
more from me. So I'm working on having a lot more.
And I was telling someone the other day that my
(11:21):
spiritual advisor we called Gigi, she was on me hard
about praying for my enemies, everybody who did me wrong,
just being a lot more forgiving and you know, for
people like us, it's like, man, you did so much
to me, Like I don't like, I don't I don't
hate you, but I don't want to be in that aspect,
but I definitely humble myself and daily that's that's what
(11:41):
I pray for. I pray for for enemies and just
a lot of other things, man. And I think the
more that I do that, the more at peace I
be with my kids and other things, you know, because
I think the last thing I'm trying to master is
being unbothered. I ain't like I ain't mastered that part yet,
but trying to get there, you know, because it would
be certain stuff you say it is gonna trigger me
and it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, do you feel like.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
You get enough flowers or recognition for the things that
you do in the community.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I think when you don't look for it.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I don't really have a gauge of if I feel
I get too much, too little, if I feel I
need more. I think I just do the work. But
I can tell your moments that I be the most down.
It'd be moments like that that lift me up. And
you wouldn't believe how many in the industry. You wouldn't
believe how many just men and women across the world.
No matter where me and truth go, the first thing
(12:38):
they'll be like, Man, I was praying for you. I
watched everything you went through, so to watch people do
that and be happy and motivated, to see how strong
and how dedicated I was to get.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
To my child.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Moments like that bring you through and then moments of
coming across people and they'd be like, man, you don't
know nothing. I mean, you don't know you help my
ami here, you did this. Then that lady that you
did this for that was my relative. So stuff like
that would kind of keep me going, you know, because
it's like the work is really getting noticed.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Do you think more rappers would be involved in activism
if they felt like if they felt like.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It wouldn't hurt I guess hurt their brand, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
See the difference with me is I didn't care if
it because I always been me. You know.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You gotta think I'm one of the few rappers that
never never smoke or drink like I've always stood on
my own and been my own leader. So when I
did it, when I when I got out there, whether
it's fighting on the front line for people who passed
other disasters, I'm not thinking about what nobody else gonna feel.
I'm just doing me and I think that's what people respect.
(13:46):
But believe it or not, majority of the industry and others. Man,
they hit my phone on the regular. Man, next time
you go out let me come out. Yeah, like I
don't know, like it was a saying. Somebody told me
they're like, man, Trey, you made it cool. Give back
because if you go back to just looking when they
really got heavy, you start watching people from all over
(14:07):
like man, this holiday, this, this, I need to make
sure I'm doing that. So to be able to be
part of planting that seed for a lot of people
to follow that blueprint was definitely major because the thing
for me is it's a lot of people who need it.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
You know what I'm saying a lot Hey trade truth?
Hey y'all question of when you are going through different
things right and people expect this like perfect symbol of
what trade of truth is, Like what are what do
you lean on when you know you're trying to let
people know like, hey, I'm not perfect.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I think the hardest thing and it's about what Charlemagne
is seeing. I don't know if y'all seen it. It's
a one on one sit down that's gonna come out
with tip and I think being at a point where
you can take accountability and growth, I think people can
appreciate that more to understand I'm human and I make
(15:01):
mistakes like anybody else do, and mistakes don't necessarily stop
you or define you as a whole, because you still
can keep doing the work and become better than what
you are in that moment, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
So I'm just trying to be me.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You think that interview is going to be received.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I think it was just it's honesty, and it's honesty
to the point where I felt like you can see
me and him don't necessarily.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Agree on everything, but you get the real.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
You know what I'm saying, And I think that always
out weigh in the end. Of course, in this day
and time with social media, it's different. You know, people man,
people be so weird on the internet, But as a whole,
I think you never can override just being authentic and real.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Sometimes it may be blunt and may be brutal, but
at some point you have to be like, yeah, all right,
I get it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Are there any relationships you hope to heal with that interview?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I think I hope to get to a point where
I have no issues, which in my mind right now,
I ain't got no issues with nobody. I'm past that,
you know, because the thing is, man a lot came
with those, with those prayers, with those fighting moments to
even get to the point where I am with little one,
(16:24):
And you got to ask yourself, man, in these situations,
what's worth more? And for me, my kids and my
family is worth more than anything. So at this point
it's like, hey, do I want to run around with
pride and ego and stay focused on this way or
(16:45):
get to a point where, man, if it ain't affected
me in mine and I'm not gonna let nothing jeopardize
me in mind, then I'm cool. So I think I'm
at a point I ain't got no issues with nobody actually,
like I don't. I rarely even think about anything with
anybody else. Like my days is strictly trying to keep
up with my kids.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
You know, what are you taking accountability for?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
You talk about accountability and anything man regardlesss So that's
why I say it's crazy when you finally get to
see the thing with men tip I think I think
they may start releasing it this week, pieces of it.
But even with accountability, right, no matter even if in
that situation you were wrong or you felt you was wrong,
(17:31):
or regardless of the situation, you can't worry about what
nobody else do. You just got to take accountability for
your part, you know what I'm saying. So I'm gonna
stand on my team for whatever I did in any situation,
you know, from being young to now, and just keep
it moving. You know, I think that's just where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Are you happy?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I think there's probably the well happy and stress because
you know, the thing is you For my kids, I'm
their biggest idols, so I gotta make sure I don't
fail them, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So, and then you said.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Some earlier that that that also well to the aspect
of what you said. It's like it becomes to a
point like you get kind of you can get frustrated
at times, right because it's like, no matter what I do,
you still do have people that just want to tear
(18:24):
you down. And then to when you you're doing stuff
in a righteous way, just to watch you still get
some of the bad end of the sticks that that
can get overly frustrating.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
But you know, I'm working through it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
What's the symbolism of the dropping angel on your birthday?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
It was supposed to be promoted way before, but I'm man,
so you know they say man delayed, ain't denied so
from God. So the thing is, I feel like maybe
it didn't align at the right time, so maybe it will,
(19:05):
you know, maybe it will the ligne now, whether it
be you know, my birthday and you know trade they
coming right around.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
The corner two July seventeen, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, July seventh, and this is gonna be a big one.
That's always just gonna be your number sixteen, man. And
that's to even take that in to be sixteen years
to take care of the people crazy. Yeah, but uh, honestly,
you get to when you get these moments in the
situations that I've been in. Sometimes just being transparent with y'all,
(19:34):
you can get to doubting yourself a lot, you know
what I'm saying. So you gotta get through them moments
to know it's gonna be all right. Because if I
would have dropped the album right when this was happening,
it might have been the perfect time to drop it.
But of course me, I was very hesitanting on it
and I wouldn't even really think about music at the time,
and I was getting ready to drop it, and then
(19:55):
I realized I ain't doing nothing nothing I'm supposed to do.
So I'm just like, man, at this point, I'm gonna
drop it on my birthday and I'm gonna get in
with you know, this is the new day and the area. Anyway,
you don't have to promote months in advance when you drop,
so sometimes you can drop and then come back and promote.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
So I'm gonna make the best out of it.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Yeah, and for trade, the dad's matt y'all talked.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
About the we ain't got the trader yet. I was
gonna say, you know you're gonna be on top of it.
I'm proud of you because I'm watching you. You're doing
your thing, But yeah, I know you're gonna be on
top of it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I've been out of the interviews.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I didn't want to reask any questions, but I was
the dad's matter, the conversation that you're gonna focus trade
around this year. What other dads are involved that we
might know.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Corey hard It, Ricky Smiley Compton from Black Ink, uh Man,
Reggie Brass, he's out of l A. He he's an
advocate for fathers and children. That's who actually helped me
(20:59):
to get a lot of knowledge when I was even
before I got to the process of the situation I
was in. He helped me for years. It's gonna it's
gonna be It's gonna be quite a few. And the
reason I'm doing that is because throughout my journey man,
there was so many fathers that was like, man, I
wish I had the strength of you, because I got
(21:20):
so frustrated. I just back the way they want me
out the picture. I'm gonna just get out the picture.
And it's like for me, they want to go that way. Yeah,
I can't do that, But I understand because they feel
like they don't have the money, they don't have the means,
they don't have the knowledge, they don't have the motivation
to do it, you know, because you know, different people
(21:42):
built to handle situations in different ways. But I think
this conversation is never the bast woman at all. But
it's about to show fathers. It's gonna be a bunch
of legal people there too. It's showing fathers. Hey, these
are some of the processes you can go to. These
are some of the things you need to know, because
the thing is, sometimes you can get in there and
(22:02):
represent yourself if you just take the time to instead
of getting frustrated, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And know they rights.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
You know, you gotta think so many people pay child's
report and don't even get to see their kids, you know,
just and they don't know the rights that they have.
So I think that and I'm working shout out my lawyer,
Stephan their profit. I told her, and I was dealing with.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Black and missing the Black misfoundation.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah, Natalie, I was saying, I want to work to
go to legislators so we can try and find some
of these laws that give dads a fairt shot, you
know what I'm saying to a because believe it or not, legally,
when it comes to custody situations, man, officers are they
(22:50):
ain't gonna eat.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You can be all the way in the right and
to have.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Your baby, and they'll be like, yeah, this ain't a
this ain't that criminal type of matter. Out on your own,
y'all figure out, you know, And sometimes they may place
a child in the wrong hands by just simply not caring.
And you know, I feel like that's that's a serious
situation because if it was their child, they gonna want
people to take stuff a lot more seriously. So it's
just trying to get the knowledge and just starting the
(23:15):
pre steps to get things together for but Dad's because
I feel like a lot of parents, a lot of
parents need they a lot of kids need their parents
in their life because if we ain't got role models,
that we ain't got our pops off family like that,
that's what make us wrong and do the things that
we do, you know, And that's what make a lot
(23:36):
of a lot of the young homies last shop because
they feel like they ain't got nobody. And then a
lot of times they feel like they ain't got nobody
because they've been taught and told things so long. So
when they finally do have that conversation, they like, I
had this all wrong. You know, I was made to
believe you ain't care about me at all, and that
don't necessarily be the case.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I got a couple more questions now that you have
a new manager, how was the dating life?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Uh? Man, I've been single for so long, and you
know what she told me, I don't need nobody else.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
She's all I need.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's the only time she's responded. She's been stoic, and.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah she not she ain't going forward, but it is
what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I mean, as a parent, you're gonna sacrifice everything for
your kids, meaning even if that means put my career
on the back burner to raise my kids. But yes,
and no, man, I've been single so long. It's the
new norm because I feel like everything I'm doing not
gotta be purpose. So if it ever gets to that point,
first and foremost, they gotta be somebody that my kids
(24:44):
really that that's genuine with my kids and the rest
of all and play. But when I tell you a
full time job with this one here, I think I
think female to be here tell me because they're like manly, like.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
The options we have is slim because you ain't give it.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
You ain't gonna be able to give us no phone time,
no no in lifetime.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It's just I'm always daddy. I want you to have
somebody one day. It's not right now, is truth?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I love?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
She was like, I'm sitting right here, okay, let me ask.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You true truth?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
How old are you? I'm sick?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay? And and dad is the only one.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Who's forty four?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
About train?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Little train? Has she heard letter the truth yet? Did
you play it for good to get the mike anyway? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, she believe it or not.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
You know, she's probably one of my biggest critics of me,
so like when you're going up all my music and there,
but yeah, I definitely, I definitely be trainings paying with
my kids so they can listen to it they you know,
so they get their own understanding. I've never really had
a conversation about that song in particular, but I think
(26:10):
in moments, you know, she she knows for sure, my
pops is is there? You know what I'm saying because
a lot of times when people ask a matter of fact,
you what is your dad?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
When when it comes to your dad, what is he
supposed to do for you? What does he do for you?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Statue of liberty?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
So when people ask her like my job and stuff,
she'd be like, man, when it comes to my dad,
he protects me, you know what I'm saying. And that's
the main thing that I always want her to know,
so other than her running me crazy, it's.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Definitely he always knows.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
What do you want to say sometheop?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
What does daddy do? He's knows any fought.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
The funny thing is you never know what she's gonna say.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
But the good thing is I always let them beat them,
you know what I'm saying, because it's I can I
be doing interviews. Sometimes you may see interviews. I got
stacks of napkins on my head. Sometimes I'm doing interviews.
She taking apart my beard. So it's like I just
let her be her, you know. I think kids deserved
be unbothered, unstressed. Yeah, however that may be, but yeah,
(27:40):
that's the main thing. Long as she know and what
she joking out, as long as she know at the
end of the day, Pop's gonna protect her, she's good,
you know, because if I was to leave out the room,
you know, she for sure I ain't gonna want to
stay in here. But if I told it's good, she know.
Pops ain't gonna ever tell me I'm my height if
I'm not, like you know what I'm saying. So that's
(28:01):
that's that's really important.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Joking, she ain't joking, but this is really.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Dope to see. I'm very very happy that you stuck
to your guns, you and got your baby girl. I'm
very happy last time you did not have her and
you were just stressed and you just to see you
from afar go through things and it was such a
long process.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Who were you talking to and let it the truth
part too though I'm still talking about okay.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Okay, And it's another one on there actually on the
album called Daddy Mischie. I wrote that actually right before
well I even wrote recorded it right before she came back.
So it's actually just a conversation as if she was there,
you know what I'm saying to me of me talking
to her, man. I think that's that's the dope one
you should check out. On the album's dope it self.
(29:01):
I released the record thank You with me Alan da
Adams chance to wrap up, uh, the record with Jeremiah Hancho,
I love Papa and Khaki Kai. You know he from here,
so he doing this thing. Another exciting record on there
is with Dave Chappelle Amen, which we was with me
in truth, was with him last night. So no, I'm
(29:23):
just blessed to be working.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You want to play right now?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You know this Nigga asked you who he was talking
to you on a letter to talking about.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Yeah, yeah, I was sorry. You know, it's just just
a situation the whole. But I always talk to my babies, man,
so matter of fact, because even though truth with me,
you know, all my kids that they my ASA, So
shout out Nico, shout out Houston jeered.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
So you know we're doing our thing, man, but that
on here.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
But you know, and it's crazy round. I never whipped
the kid in my life. I don't believe in that.
But I tell people on the funny note, if anybody
deserved one that's gonna test me, is right, because if
I was to tell you, hey, don't knock that over,
She'll look at me and she.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
All right, bro, you just gonna keep trying. If anybody
this one is definitely the one that stressed me out.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
That's what I tell my nine year old time was
a girl. You lucky you wasn't raised in the nineties.
If you was raised in the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, And it's crazy these days because they believe any
whoopings tortured.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
They don't know we used to go through it back then.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Man, Oh yelling, If you yell, they think you doing
something that you ain't got no do.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I remember I remember one time with me having the
discipline her. You know what the discipline was, what you
put this iPad down and you go outside and play.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
You know they do not believe and none of them.
You know, this is what she's with twenty four seven
to day, that phone, that's what she loved doing. But yeah,
so this this is what I'm I'm dealing with every day.
And yesterday was exciting because I went and paid for
(31:08):
a billboy yesterday. So for her to to see her
face through times.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
You need to see.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Got the billboard?
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Did you approve of it? Truth?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I approve.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Okay, let me say, and that's her on it. Oh wow,
baby girl, that's your face.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
But you know the good thing too, because if I
have music and she don't like.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
It, she's gonna be like, they don't put her on it. No,
she would be I don't like the song. She either
donna like it like they'd be brutally.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
How you doing, man? You got your little one with you? Yes,
she don't even.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Got damn about nothing.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
She will pop in when she wants to. But on
that game, yeah, when she playing, she wants to go ahead,
You're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
How long you've been asking you for that trade?
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Because she chew it and then spit out gum there
and want more. She just should do it all day.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
But so how much softer has she made you?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I think that you got trade doing tiktoks trade dancing.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I love it, though, but this is what you want
to you know, this is exactly what you're getting, exactly
what you wanted, what you asked for and everything. So
it's good to see you and Dad moved.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Yeah, Mensal a full time job that people really treat
her as management.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So like I did.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I was doing the interview in Atlanta a day ago
and I couldn't do the interview unless they brought her
her boat Jangles hid.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So right now we're fulfilling her riders.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I know that's right now. The new album is called
Angel tell Us Why of course.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You know, it's inspired by my daughter, you know, my
whole the whole process of everything I went through. I
think this album probably people say, would be the most
vulnerable I've been as far as most just open about
everything I was going through. And it means a lot
to me. I mean, it means a lot to me.
You know, I've always been able to do dope music,
(01:51):
but this album was recorded in the process of what
I was going through. So this one definitely gonna be
And I think it's just a climate of the culture.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Man.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Everybody going through rough and dark chimes right now, so
everybody ain't always club wise or turned up.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
You know these days over Yeah, I'm gonna say because
Houston is the part.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Of what I'm talking about for our era, because you know,
we've grown, Like who are making the music for us?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Now? You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
What's what's in your deck right now? That's still it
depends because I ended up listening to songs.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's more than like projects, right, Like I'm listening to
that new Eric about doing Alchemists. I've been riding the
Ray Vaughn this year as far as the younger is concerned,
the good, the bad, and the dollar menu.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You've been listening to the flutes. Been definitely put.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
A piano album. The piano album, So that's probably that's
pretty much. I listened to like singles. I don't listen
to like full projects that much.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Is it because nobody puts something together as a whole,
you like.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think that's what it is. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Because if it's a full that I like, like I
listened to GNX, you know what I mean. Like I said,
I listened to Rayvaughond. But if it's not a full
project that I like, I'm just gonna go to singles.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
That was your album in story mode because I know
that was a long process that you had to go through.
Right now, is it in story mode? And is it
like when I mean by story mode from the beginning
to now?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I think I think each part touches just different moments
within that was happening in different moments within my life.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's not like necessarily.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
In the order of how things happen, but I think
it's set up to from start to finish, you you'll
get the feel that you need, you know, every every
every moment, and that definitely would be a different highlight,
you know. But for me it's it's a lot of
people say, you know, a lot of people have their
favorite picks of my album, but for me personally, this
(03:54):
would probably be one of my favorites right now.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, I mean because it's close to home for sure.
The therapeutic the write this project.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yes, uh, it wasn't even writing.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
What happened was when I when they finally got me
the to leave LA to take a break, you know,
because the main thing that was being pressed to me
was sometimes I could be in God's way if I'm
trying to do it my way. So I finally got
to understand and if I leave, go do something like
(04:25):
like like work getting the process of things I love.
So I went for like probably like three days and
I just recorded back to back. Wasn't even necessarily right now,
I ain't wrote music and so long I just go
in there and just get it off. So the two
things I did when I left LA for that short
amount of time, I did the album and then I
went to help with the hurricane and the Carolina so
(04:48):
you know those two things that give me my energy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, yeah, is it was it any song on the
project that you felt like, well, you broke down, like
it was very a challenging.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I think you.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I think through the project you will hear different stuff,
and I think it was displayed a certain way to it.
It almost makes other people break down on they here,
you know what I'm saying. So it's a lot of
moments in there like that, you know, but it's a
lot of proud moments too, like you know, I got
the record all right on there with Look Crazy and
Truth featured on that. Like you know, it's different moments
(05:25):
that it's just a whole roller coaster, but it's set
up the right way.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So baby girls on the album, yeah that a couple
of times Okay, she rapping or she just talking, she
popping her.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Gun, she was singing, but she sung on this album.
But you know she wraps, She do a thing whatever
she feels like doing.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's why she got to write her That's right. What
was that feeling like?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
When you cause you know she Truth was reported missing
back in all into twenty twenty four. What was that
moment like when you first found her, Like when you
realized she was good and you was about to go
see her.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Man was excitement, nervous, your brain moving a thousand miles
power because you're wondering, how is this first thing actually
gonna be?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is it gonna be? Man? I missed you, Pops. Is
it's gonna be? Uh, I've been away from you for
a minute.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I'm cautious. So it was just Man, it was a lot.
Funny part is when I got the car, jumped up
because I got it on New Year's I had just
went to church that night for New Year's and I
got up. I got the car like five from the
US MARSLS and they like, we found there and they're
(06:42):
close to the ball to Mexico. So I jumped out
the bed. I'm running from the bed to the bathroom
when all the while I'm supposed to be trying to
get dressing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
After twenty minutes of.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Going back and forth and absolutely doing nothing and living,
you know, I was in a whole world nervous. But
my youngest son, Houston, he was upstairs. I'm like, man, bro,
we gotta go. He there's thirty minutes. We went, We
booked a flight, we flew to San Diego.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
My bro Rob.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Picked us up in San Diego and we drove down
to the border. So when I get there, man, you know,
I'm nervous the whole time. So finally when we when
I first seen her, if if you've seen the video,
she was a little hesitant, you know, because you know,
at this point, I don't know what's going through. It
is so but at the end of the day, she
do know I'm Pops, and she know I'm always gonna
(07:32):
protect her. So she come to me. I can tell
she was with mixed emotion. But when I tell her
turn around and she's seeing her brother, it's like I
always forgotten At that moment, it was like she was like, yeah,
I'm back with my guys at that moment. And from
that moment to as we sit here now, we've been
non stop together. You know what I'm saying, It's a
(07:55):
lot because it it makes me a like to think
all of just you know, from being in the streets
to the music to everything else.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Now most of my.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Days, if I'm not sitting up watching cartoons of us
and taking her to a trampoline, making sure she.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Get through school.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Now, that was another hard moment though, Like when she
first came back, she didn't want to be around no
other kids. She was like, wow, I want to do homeschool.
And I kept, I kept, you know, we were working,
but I kept personally like, man, just try to be around.
So when I finally got her a go, she agreed
to go for like maybe an hour or two a day.
So I would sit outside the door so she anytime
(08:38):
she come look through that crack, I'll be just sitting
on a chair Till she was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And we worked and she very short.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
So even missing all the months of school, like four
or five months, she came through, ended up graduating her class,
top of her class.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And she don't go nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Was there any conversations with them, with her mother. That's it, Dang,
you don't even know why she did what she did.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I'ma be honest man. I do my best not to
even go there to too much speak about it, you
know what I'm saying, As far as I just really
focus on making sure her days happy, making sure we
focus and I'm doing everything I can to be the
best fall I can, because I feel like when that
time comes, it'll come, but you know, at the end
of the day, it's silent in God's hands. And then
(09:26):
I be real big on what I say because we
never had a conversation about that, Like, you know, I
don't speak on that with her. It's strictly what we
got going on. And you know, with us, it's a
full time job, you know, truth from singing to acting,
to energy to nash you on her YouTube too, Instagram
(09:52):
to it be a lot, a lot with her. But
you know, it's a good thing because we blessed to
be able to bring our kids into our world, but
then to watch them do their own thing too. So
and I'm not forcing.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Herd with thathing, you know, yeah are you are you
giving the dad okay or the dad yes to the YouTube?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
One thing they know, I ain't playing with my baby.
So but the thing is she's always all my kids
always had their own fan base based off them being
my kids. So a lot of the world in Houston
and a lot of the world in the industry, they
watched them grow up as a whole because you got up,
we did the BT. You would think, of course everybody
excided to see me, but they're probably just more excited
(10:34):
to see us. So you see her on pictures with everybody,
So yeah, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, You've been through so many losses man battles with
you know, radio stations and lawsuits, but you always stay tall,
like like what kept you grounded during the moments when
people like really tried.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
To silence you with like just just hold trade back.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, God, definitely, God.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
God is the key to all man because what I've
learned and even now I'm going through the learning process
of having faith more because you know, I feel I
have faith, but I guess he may expect a little
more from me. So I'm working on having a lot more.
And I was telling someone the other day that my
(11:21):
spiritual advisor we called Gigi, she was on me hard
about praying for my enemies, everybody who did me wrong,
just being a lot more forgiving and you know, for
people like us, it's like, man, you did so much
to me, Like I don't like, I don't I don't
hate you, but I don't want to be in that aspect,
but I definitely humble myself and daily that's that's what
(11:41):
I pray for. I pray for for enemies and just
a lot of other things, man. And I think the
more that I do that, the more at peace I
be with my kids and other things, you know, because
I think the last thing I'm trying to master is
being unbothered. I ain't like I ain't mastered that part yet,
but trying to get there, you know, because it would
be certain stuff you say it is gonna trigger me
and it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, do you feel like.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
You get enough flowers or recognition for the things that
you do in the community.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I think when you don't look for it.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I don't really have a gauge of if I feel
I get too much, too little, if I feel I
need more. I think I just do the work. But
I can tell your moments that I be the most down.
It'd be moments like that that lift me up. And
you wouldn't believe how many in the industry. You wouldn't
believe how many just men and women across the world.
No matter where me and truth go, the first thing
(12:38):
they'll be like, Man, I was praying for you. I
watched everything you went through, so to watch people do
that and be happy and motivated, to see how strong
and how dedicated I was to get.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
To my child.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Moments like that bring you through and then moments of
coming across people and they'd be like, man, you don't
know nothing. I mean, you don't know you help my
ami here, you did this. Then that lady that you
did this for that was my relative. So stuff like
that would kind of keep me going, you know, because
it's like the work is really getting noticed.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Do you think more rappers would be involved in activism
if they felt like if they felt like.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It wouldn't hurt I guess hurt their brand, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
See the difference with me is I didn't care if
it because I always been me. You know.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You gotta think I'm one of the few rappers that
never never smoke or drink like I've always stood on
my own and been my own leader. So when I
did it, when I when I got out there, whether
it's fighting on the front line for people who passed
other disasters, I'm not thinking about what nobody else gonna feel.
I'm just doing me and I think that's what people respect.
(13:46):
But believe it or not, majority of the industry and others. Man,
they hit my phone on the regular. Man, next time
you go out let me come out. Yeah, like I
don't know, like it was a saying. Somebody told me
they're like, man, Trey, you made it cool. Give back
because if you go back to just looking when they
really got heavy, you start watching people from all over
(14:07):
like man, this holiday, this, this, I need to make
sure I'm doing that. So to be able to be
part of planting that seed for a lot of people
to follow that blueprint was definitely major because the thing
for me is it's a lot of people who need it.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
You know what I'm saying a lot Hey trade truth?
Hey y'all question of when you are going through different
things right and people expect this like perfect symbol of
what trade of truth is, Like what are what do
you lean on when you know you're trying to let
people know like, hey, I'm not perfect.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I think the hardest thing and it's about what Charlemagne
is seeing. I don't know if y'all seen it. It's
a one on one sit down that's gonna come out
with tip and I think being at a point where
you can take accountability and growth, I think people can
appreciate that more to understand I'm human and I make
(15:01):
mistakes like anybody else do, and mistakes don't necessarily stop
you or define you as a whole, because you still
can keep doing the work and become better than what
you are in that moment, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
So I'm just trying to be me.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You think that interview is going to be received.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I think it was just it's honesty, and it's honesty
to the point where I felt like you can see
me and him don't necessarily.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Agree on everything, but you get the real.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
You know what I'm saying, And I think that always
out weigh in the end. Of course, in this day
and time with social media, it's different. You know, people man,
people be so weird on the internet, But as a whole,
I think you never can override just being authentic and real.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Sometimes it may be blunt and may be brutal, but
at some point you have to be like, yeah, all right,
I get it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Are there any relationships you hope to heal with that interview?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I think I hope to get to a point where
I have no issues, which in my mind right now,
I ain't got no issues with nobody. I'm past that,
you know, because the thing is, man a lot came
with those, with those prayers, with those fighting moments to
even get to the point where I am with little one,
(16:24):
And you got to ask yourself, man, in these situations,
what's worth more? And for me, my kids and my
family is worth more than anything. So at this point
it's like, hey, do I want to run around with
pride and ego and stay focused on this way or
(16:45):
get to a point where, man, if it ain't affected
me in mine and I'm not gonna let nothing jeopardize
me in mind, then I'm cool. So I think I'm
at a point I ain't got no issues with nobody actually,
like I don't. I rarely even think about anything with
anybody else. Like my days is strictly trying to keep
up with my kids.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
You know, what are you taking accountability for?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
You talk about accountability and anything man regardlesss So that's
why I say it's crazy when you finally get to
see the thing with men tip I think I think
they may start releasing it this week, pieces of it.
But even with accountability, right, no matter even if in
that situation you were wrong or you felt you was wrong,
(17:31):
or regardless of the situation, you can't worry about what
nobody else do. You just got to take accountability for
your part, you know what I'm saying. So I'm gonna
stand on my team for whatever I did in any situation,
you know, from being young to now, and just keep
it moving. You know, I think that's just where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Are you happy?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I think there's probably the well happy and stress because
you know, the thing is you For my kids, I'm
their biggest idols, so I gotta make sure I don't
fail them, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So, and then you said.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Some earlier that that that also well to the aspect
of what you said. It's like it becomes to a
point like you get kind of you can get frustrated
at times, right because it's like, no matter what I do,
you still do have people that just want to tear
(18:24):
you down. And then to when you you're doing stuff
in a righteous way, just to watch you still get
some of the bad end of the sticks that that
can get overly frustrating.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
But you know, I'm working through it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
What's the symbolism of the dropping angel on your birthday?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
It was supposed to be promoted way before, but I'm man,
so you know they say man delayed, ain't denied so
from God. So the thing is, I feel like maybe
it didn't align at the right time, so maybe it will,
(19:05):
you know, maybe it will the ligne now, whether it
be you know, my birthday and you know trade they
coming right around.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
The corner two July seventeen, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, July seventh, and this is gonna be a big one.
That's always just gonna be your number sixteen, man. And
that's to even take that in to be sixteen years
to take care of the people crazy. Yeah, but uh, honestly,
you get to when you get these moments in the
situations that I've been in. Sometimes just being transparent with y'all,
(19:34):
you can get to doubting yourself a lot, you know
what I'm saying. So you gotta get through them moments
to know it's gonna be all right. Because if I
would have dropped the album right when this was happening,
it might have been the perfect time to drop it.
But of course me, I was very hesitanting on it
and I wouldn't even really think about music at the time,
and I was getting ready to drop it, and then
(19:55):
I realized I ain't doing nothing nothing I'm supposed to do.
So I'm just like, man, at this point, I'm gonna
drop it on my birthday and I'm gonna get in
with you know, this is the new day and the area. Anyway,
you don't have to promote months in advance when you drop,
so sometimes you can drop and then come back and promote.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
So I'm gonna make the best out of it.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Yeah, and for trade, the dad's matt y'all talked.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
About the we ain't got the trader yet. I was
gonna say, you know you're gonna be on top of it.
I'm proud of you because I'm watching you. You're doing
your thing, But yeah, I know you're gonna be on
top of it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I've been out of the interviews.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I didn't want to reask any questions, but I was
the dad's matter, the conversation that you're gonna focus trade
around this year. What other dads are involved that we
might know.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Corey hard It, Ricky Smiley Compton from Black Ink, uh Man,
Reggie Brass, he's out of l A. He he's an
advocate for fathers and children. That's who actually helped me
(20:59):
to get a lot of knowledge when I was even
before I got to the process of the situation I
was in. He helped me for years. It's gonna it's
gonna be It's gonna be quite a few. And the
reason I'm doing that is because throughout my journey man,
there was so many fathers that was like, man, I
wish I had the strength of you, because I got
(21:20):
so frustrated. I just back the way they want me
out the picture. I'm gonna just get out the picture.
And it's like for me, they want to go that way. Yeah,
I can't do that, But I understand because they feel
like they don't have the money, they don't have the means,
they don't have the knowledge, they don't have the motivation
to do it, you know, because you know, different people
(21:42):
built to handle situations in different ways. But I think
this conversation is never the bast woman at all. But
it's about to show fathers. It's gonna be a bunch
of legal people there too. It's showing fathers. Hey, these
are some of the processes you can go to. These
are some of the things you need to know, because
the thing is, sometimes you can get in there and
(22:02):
represent yourself if you just take the time to instead
of getting frustrated, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And know they rights.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
You know, you gotta think so many people pay child's
report and don't even get to see their kids, you know,
just and they don't know the rights that they have.
So I think that and I'm working shout out my lawyer,
Stephan their profit. I told her, and I was dealing with.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Black and missing the Black misfoundation.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah, Natalie, I was saying, I want to work to
go to legislators so we can try and find some
of these laws that give dads a fairt shot, you
know what I'm saying to a because believe it or not, legally,
when it comes to custody situations, man, officers are they
(22:50):
ain't gonna eat.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You can be all the way in the right and
to have.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Your baby, and they'll be like, yeah, this ain't a
this ain't that criminal type of matter. Out on your own,
y'all figure out, you know, And sometimes they may place
a child in the wrong hands by just simply not caring.
And you know, I feel like that's that's a serious
situation because if it was their child, they gonna want
people to take stuff a lot more seriously. So it's
just trying to get the knowledge and just starting the
(23:15):
pre steps to get things together for but Dad's because
I feel like a lot of parents, a lot of
parents need they a lot of kids need their parents
in their life because if we ain't got role models,
that we ain't got our pops off family like that,
that's what make us wrong and do the things that
we do, you know, And that's what make a lot
(23:36):
of a lot of the young homies last shop because
they feel like they ain't got nobody. And then a
lot of times they feel like they ain't got nobody
because they've been taught and told things so long. So
when they finally do have that conversation, they like, I
had this all wrong. You know, I was made to
believe you ain't care about me at all, and that
don't necessarily be the case.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I got a couple more questions now that you have
a new manager, how was the dating life?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Uh? Man, I've been single for so long, and you
know what she told me, I don't need nobody else.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
She's all I need.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's the only time she's responded. She's been stoic, and.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah she not she ain't going forward, but it is
what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I mean, as a parent, you're gonna sacrifice everything for
your kids, meaning even if that means put my career
on the back burner to raise my kids. But yes,
and no, man, I've been single so long. It's the
new norm because I feel like everything I'm doing not
gotta be purpose. So if it ever gets to that point,
first and foremost, they gotta be somebody that my kids
(24:44):
really that that's genuine with my kids and the rest
of all and play. But when I tell you a
full time job with this one here, I think I
think female to be here tell me because they're like manly, like.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
The options we have is slim because you ain't give it.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
You ain't gonna be able to give us no phone time,
no no in lifetime.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It's just I'm always daddy. I want you to have
somebody one day. It's not right now, is truth?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I love?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
She was like, I'm sitting right here, okay, let me ask.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You true truth?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
How old are you? I'm sick?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay? And and dad is the only one.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Who's forty four?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
About train?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Little train? Has she heard letter the truth yet? Did
you play it for good to get the mike anyway? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, she believe it or not.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
You know, she's probably one of my biggest critics of me,
so like when you're going up all my music and there,
but yeah, I definitely, I definitely be trainings paying with
my kids so they can listen to it they you know,
so they get their own understanding. I've never really had
a conversation about that song in particular, but I think
(26:10):
in moments, you know, she she knows for sure, my
pops is is there? You know what I'm saying because
a lot of times when people ask a matter of fact,
you what is your dad?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
When when it comes to your dad, what is he
supposed to do for you? What does he do for you?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Statue of liberty?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
So when people ask her like my job and stuff,
she'd be like, man, when it comes to my dad,
he protects me, you know what I'm saying. And that's
the main thing that I always want her to know,
so other than her running me crazy, it's.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Definitely he always knows.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
What do you want to say sometheop?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
What does daddy do? He's knows any fought.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
The funny thing is you never know what she's gonna say.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
But the good thing is I always let them beat them,
you know what I'm saying, because it's I can I
be doing interviews. Sometimes you may see interviews. I got
stacks of napkins on my head. Sometimes I'm doing interviews.
She taking apart my beard. So it's like I just
let her be her, you know. I think kids deserved
be unbothered, unstressed. Yeah, however that may be, but yeah,
(27:40):
that's the main thing. Long as she know and what
she joking out, as long as she know at the
end of the day, Pop's gonna protect her, she's good,
you know, because if I was to leave out the room,
you know, she for sure I ain't gonna want to
stay in here. But if I told it's good, she know.
Pops ain't gonna ever tell me I'm my height if
I'm not, like you know what I'm saying. So that's
(28:01):
that's that's really important.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Joking, she ain't joking, but this is really.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Dope to see. I'm very very happy that you stuck
to your guns, you and got your baby girl. I'm
very happy last time you did not have her and
you were just stressed and you just to see you
from afar go through things and it was such a
long process.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Who were you talking to and let it the truth
part too though I'm still talking about okay.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Okay, And it's another one on there actually on the
album called Daddy Mischie. I wrote that actually right before
well I even wrote recorded it right before she came back.
So it's actually just a conversation as if she was there,
you know what I'm saying to me of me talking
to her, man. I think that's that's the dope one
you should check out. On the album's dope it self.
(29:01):
I released the record thank You with me Alan da
Adams chance to wrap up, uh, the record with Jeremiah Hancho,
I love Papa and Khaki Kai. You know he from here,
so he doing this thing. Another exciting record on there
is with Dave Chappelle Amen, which we was with me
in truth, was with him last night. So no, I'm
(29:23):
just blessed to be working.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You want to play right now?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You know this Nigga asked you who he was talking
to you on a letter to talking about.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Yeah, yeah, I was sorry. You know, it's just just
a situation the whole. But I always talk to my babies, man,
so matter of fact, because even though truth with me,
you know, all my kids that they my ASA, So
shout out Nico, shout out Houston jeered.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
So you know we're doing our thing, man, but that
on here.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
But you know, and it's crazy round. I never whipped
the kid in my life. I don't believe in that.
But I tell people on the funny note, if anybody
deserved one that's gonna test me, is right, because if
I was to tell you, hey, don't knock that over,
She'll look at me and she.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
All right, bro, you just gonna keep trying. If anybody
this one is definitely the one that stressed me out.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
That's what I tell my nine year old time was
a girl. You lucky you wasn't raised in the nineties.
If you was raised in the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, And it's crazy these days because they believe any
whoopings tortured.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
They don't know we used to go through it back then.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Man, Oh yelling, If you yell, they think you doing
something that you ain't got no do.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I remember I remember one time with me having the
discipline her. You know what the discipline was, what you
put this iPad down and you go outside and play.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
You know they do not believe and none of them.
You know, this is what she's with twenty four seven
to day, that phone, that's what she loved doing. But yeah,
so this this is what I'm I'm dealing with every day.
And yesterday was exciting because I went and paid for
(31:08):
a billboy yesterday. So for her to to see her
face through times.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
You need to see.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Got the billboard?
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Did you approve of it? Truth?
Speaker 1 (31:22):

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Okay, let me say, and that's her on it. Oh wow,
baby girl, that's your face.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
But you know the good thing too, because if I
have music and she don't like.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
It, she's gonna be like, they don't put her on it. No,
she would be I don't like the song. She either
donna like it like they'd be brutally.
