Up, Bro? How are youfeeling? What up? Nuggets and five
Nuggative nuggets in five nuggets are problemthis season, That's what God damn sure,
my boy joking is not playing.But usually we have Tony D in
the building. Unfortunately he was notable to make it in today. He's
running sound for us in the background, you know, being being the backbone

(00:56):
of the whole organization. So TonyD is in the building, but not
quite in the building. As farour guests. Today, we've got another
Florida legend in the building. Youknow, to know to personally know Jafar.
You really got to be tuned inwith the with the Florida Underground,
you know what I'm saying. Wegot my boy Jaffar aka Kee Pooky in
the building. How are you feeling, my bro? I'm good man,

(01:19):
good man, appreciate it and blessingme on our platform and time with yall
already know Chevron here Hell yeah,man, it's always a pleasure when we
link up, man, just justto get into it. Man, this
guy's an artists. He's doing bigthings. Man, he makes a lot
of like different kinds of music.Uh, Spanish background, New York background,
Florida. You know what I'm saying. Are you Spanish? By the

(01:40):
way, I always assumed you Spanish? Yeah, I'm Puerto Rican and black
improuvie Okay, yeah, because I'mlike, I don't know, man,
Man, I don't I think aboutit. He might be Irish fall I
know, only he's a month forreal, he said, Puerto Rican black
and Peruvian. Only Puerto Rican Peruvian? I know? Is my wife?
You're the second person that's crazy.That's crazy, so so funny thing about

(02:04):
me and Jafar we go pretty farback, like I say, probably about
almost ten years, if not tenyears. And the funniest thing was we
both lived in Florida for a longtime. But we met in the Bronx
in the weirdest way back on mycousin's block, which I called my other
block, you know, because Iain't even lived there, but I was
there every day. You know.I knew him through his cousin. You

(02:24):
know, one summer we was chillingand we met outside and he told me
he was rappings from Tampa. Iwas like, yo, I'm like Tampa
area. That's what we say,you know, because people don't know the
random like Brandon and all the motherscities nearby. You know, he just
generalized it, and that's how That'show we met back in the Bronx and
we come back to Florida and youknow, we've we've been cool ever since.
Man. I've been watching movement.I've been seeing what you're doing with

(02:46):
the music, man, So tellus about what you got going on with
the music and all that fun stuff. And honestly, I just been trying
to keep everything containing and get everythingindustry ready, bro, because like I
said, you know, I've beenthe deaf jam already. I've been a
heart and the empire. I've beenan empire. I've been to labels already.
And it's just like, that's whyI got one thing to tell artists

(03:07):
like Brother pushing one record, becauseI got so much music out and they
did keep telling me, but themore music got dropped, them just wasting
my own talent. They don't wantto market. They can't market your music.
Got do you try to do it? By yourself. They want you
to have that bag so when theyget you, then they don't have to
throw you people to write you musicand stuff like that. So I just

(03:28):
been you know, stending in thestudio. I was supposed to drop.
My EOS team has been ready.I've just been holding them back from the
single fact that I've been listening to, you know, the higher powers behind
the ship as far as like don'twaste material. So like I'm ready to
drop. That's why I keep droppingslingers and videos and stuff like that.
I know my fans hating me forthat, but it's just like I wouldn't
make money just like everybody else.Man. I got to feed my family

(03:51):
too, so I just can't keepwasting the ship. So my thing is
you. You touched on the subjectreal quick, and I used to be
a toward DJ for some hip hoplegends, and a lot of people don't
realize this day and age, youhave to push the same song or the
same track for years, whether it'syou know, you made it back,

(04:14):
you know in let's say twenty twelve, right, but you're still pushing that
same track, You're still performing thatsame track or whatever, only because that's
the momentum that you're going on rightnow, and that's what the labels or
you know, the big exact shortor where like you said, the bag
is gonna come from. And alot of people don't understand that the song

(04:36):
that you're pushing right now that mightpop to the rest of the world,
it's gonna be a song that youprobably hate performing. You probably are sick
of it because you've already done itfor ten years. So on that aspect,
how would you tell, you know, people that are in your shoes
right now, like you you probablyhate a song that that you're like tired,

(05:01):
like why why do we have toget it on the head? Get
it on the head like my wholefirst mix tape. That's where it got
me, Like buzt. Everybody lovesit, but you know, like to
me, I went to prison andcame home. You know, I started
doing shit different. I wouldn't.I was doing everything in home by myself,
you know, like with my boardsand ship like that. But when

(05:23):
I started going to professional studios andgetting that professional sound, it's like my
old project. I don't want towrap that ship no more because it don't
sound up to par Like where Iknow my new ship is out and where
it's supposed to be. But ontop of that, like that's where everybody
loved me for it was like thatfirst tape, you know what I'm saying,
Like when I came home, thatshit was crazy. So that's it.

(05:45):
The tape was stupid. And tothis day, the only reason I
don't record, like still perform thoserecords is because the quality is stuff like
that. But I sit back andcontemplate all the time, like, bro,
I still want to be studio droppingbo records. Why don't I just
rerecord that album, that mixtape,you know, Like, why don't I
just rerecord that and keep pushing thatrecord because that record is where everybody loved

(06:06):
like my most famous record, Idon't perform the more, and that's my
most famous record. I'm supposed tokeep pushing that record. So my question
is, why don't you go backand record it and remastered. It's just
a it's just a personal issue,like I'm I feel like I'm in a
different vague now, Like you know, those are old balls and stuff like

(06:28):
that. But that's the problem thatyou're bringing up to. Its like we
can't get like that. We needto we need the HT songs or high
songs, whether we don't like themnow because they're five years old or ten
years we performed them so many times. We gotta understand it. That's still
us and that's how I work.We can't, we can't. We came
got nothing that we did because I'vejust seen an interview the other day where
um who was dude saying it takesone song man, just one song,

(06:53):
that's it. One song. I'ma millionaire bro, one song, you
know what I need Once. Peoplesay one hit wonders all the time,
but that's the only thing you gotto say about that person. That person
is still rich, that versons stillgot it yea, hopefully depending on how
you spend your money. Yeah,they might be rich. But you know

(07:14):
one like I didn't even know thatTank. I seen the thing yesterday.
Did you know that Tank did theaddives on the League record? Yeah,
I definitely, I had no ideaI do that. He did the background
vocals on Marion's. Oh I neverknew that, Like I thought the whole
time that was on Mario And that'swhy he's just fall back and still collect

(07:35):
collect collect, you know, Like, yeah, that's that that that gets
into the writing bag that gets intothe the production bag that gets into the
you know, like you know,I was just talking to Jay and uh
tone before we came on, likethis is not really my voice. My
voice is messed up because but whenI talked like this, everybody loves it

(08:00):
because me and kids have a relationship, and niggas are like, yo,
can you do a drop for mewhen you sound like this because they can't
get a drop from Kiss, sothey're like, yo, you sound like
him while your your voice sounds likethis, And I'm like, nah,
bro, I'm not trying to,like, you know, disrespect my man
Kiss. But he's also told mesometimes like yo, you can get your

(08:20):
bag, like don't just don't chargehim out the crazy, but you know,
do the little you know and dowhat you do. And I'm like,
nah, bro, I can't dothat. But well, you know,
you gotta, you gotta, yougotta sometimes you gotta reinvent yourself and
you gotta, you know, yougotta understand that you know um, because
to me, the king of ofof ad libs is Jim Jones and he's

(08:46):
on so many records before he becameJim Jones from Dip set to duels to
Cam early Cam and Mace and allthem. He's in his He got all
that paper and he's still sitting onthat paper. You get what I'm saying.
So sometimes you gotta take a stepback because your own worst critic is
yourself from No, that's a fact. That's a fact. Definitely going to

(09:13):
ask you a question. Why didn'twe dropped that to? Is me?
It ain't got nothing to do withnobody Else's just me. I feel like
I've been walking a different direction,but really I need to stick through what
I know and I have him rock. So what if? So what if
I suggested this? What if yourecorded re recorded that hit that that popped
you off right, and then takea couple of other songs that you have

(09:37):
on there, and maybe they don'tyou don't have a feature, but then
put somebody new on it. That'sa new feature, and now you have
both where you're now and now you'rethen. But that's about to elevate you
to the next level because you're gonnaget your BMI, you're gonna get your
ass happy sounds more crisp. Butnow you have some new niggas you know,

(10:01):
like Jay, you know what Imean that might be on it on
a on a remix, and nowyou drop a whole new project and now
you can get both backs. Becausethat's what artists are doing that you you
once you re record something, it'sa switch second of something, and you
can catch a whole new bagg andyou could both put both of those on

(10:22):
Spotify and it'll be two different pointsthat you get on your b of mind.
As that's smart, that's actually interesting, right, right man, I
got to get back into that oldtape that King isn't take. I got
to get back into that old tape. Everyone, it's crazy. I still
got CDs. I still got likekind of promotion from that run. I

(10:43):
still got a whole bunch of thatship. Yeah. I got so many
CDs in my first mix tape inmy garage box stuff, and I'm like,
I need one of those one ofthose. I'm gonna figure out how
to play it, but send ofit. Yeah, right, you're gonna
have to find an ancient device.All the CD players like how old I

(11:05):
love about that was? That's liketwenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. But like
that's why I got people will betelling me anytime he's getting my car,
you'll put this on, I'll belike, I don't let me hear that
ship. So I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give you a little background
on me. Right, So Iwas component Oriega's sword. The t O
n Y came out and Niggas ison the block, still hustling. But

(11:28):
while we're hustling, we're listening tot O n Why why Niggas is buying
shit? They're blasting that and wehate that song. Just imagine that,
right, you got a big assbill. You're still on the block,
but Niggas is bumping up, Likeyo, you gotta make sense of it

(11:50):
real quick, like I was young, but like you gotta make sense of
it, Like how how Niggas iscoming pulling up on you buying work and
they're bumping your ship but you're stillon the block. That don't make sense.
You did what I'm saying. Thatdon't make sense. So you gotta
go back into your bag and yougotta re record that. That's my advice

(12:11):
team, my most definitely, andI'm gonna listening to that because I out
of honesty, like I said,I've been meaning to do it. I
just been doing so much other stuffthat I haven't even jumped back into that.
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna get backto it. They wanted try to
give it to you, right,So what's up ject? What we're talking

(12:33):
for sure? For sure? Soas far as uh upcoming shows, festivals,
anything like that, can we expectto see you out anytime soon?
You already know vibes, GMTV,anything heat going. I got my might
pull up on a live on sevenfrom Age of them boys this small you
know what I'm saying stuff like that. But honestly, like I ain't got
name, but I up steed.I've just been chilling, laying back working

(12:56):
and you know, recording and stufflike that. I really ain't been popping
out shot because I've been just beenchilling. But once I get back out,
you know, I already we've beendoing this for so long. I
have performer every thank you everywhere.So was like I took, I took
a year, Paul Black, andyou stack bread and get get back on
that aspect of the time instead ofjust fitting like crashing out and going all

(13:16):
out on everything behind mused, becauseyou also got to live a real life
behind this as well. Yeah,that's the tough part man a lot of
and that's that's that's the crazy partfor me. It's like I see a
lot of these artists and they're ableto just throw their all and one hundred
percent, and I respect it.But at the same time, it seems
so selfish to live like you knowsome yes, music industry is crazy.

(13:41):
Yeah, it's like you gotta havethose mental health days. You can't just
be all day on go man,and some people really just live like that.
And I respect it, but atthe same time, it's concerning,
to say the least. That wasreal tough. I've been at this ship
since I was thirteen years old.I did my first club when I was
thirteen until I was thirty, andI the way like, yeah, I

(14:03):
love that, but I'm I'm letme switch it up real quick, Jake.
I've seen him pulled back. Hegot the heat. He got the
heat had on you. You wereyou were a heat fan. No,
I hate bus like that, butlike I told you, my stepfather,
he used to work out. Youstayedium, bro. You used to cut
baseball players, and like I'm abaseball fan, couple football like that,

(14:28):
but anything in New York, I'mwith it. Like I said. One
thing I stopped doing was betting onthe Giants Stow. But I love so
much money they got even when theywas in the playoffs. Last I ain't
betting all your niggas until you showedme different. So what's up? What
teams you rocking with? The Bigthree sports? What team used that and

(14:48):
three sports? Yeah? Yeah,basketball, football, baseball? What you
what you team? Is forever right? To be honest with you, My
favorite football team was the Open Raiders. But that's went back with Charles Woodson
and warn stapping on the wards.How I just watched football just to gamble
on that. I don't buy theplay right, And that's the basketball team

(15:13):
and basketball I like Brooklyn, butlike I said, I don't really know
too much about basketball. This thenbe like, oh, I'm not like
a sports ball they type to do. I'm more outside. It's normally Jay,
it's normally Jay. That that thatsays how old I am. So
when you said Charles Woodson, Iwas like, here we go, he's
about to say. I ain't sayingJay always gives me the push on NIGGI

(15:37):
you know you old right. I'venever said nothing like that, bro.
It might be how my my statement. That's how his statements and his demeanor
comes off. Every time he sayssomething, I'm like, I'm raising the
day of line wire. He's like, come on, bro, I'm like,
damn, I ain't even say nothingbro like, but I feel hey,

(15:58):
So all right, let's get rightinto this one. So we're gonna
take it back to the hip hopreal quick. Oh wait, did you
give your teams? Yeah? TheRaiders, Yeah team No, No,
not that he what's your team?Jay? Basketball? Team? I'm saying,
I'm sad. Okay, yeah,you know, you know, the
guest is always gonna put it onout he said his seams out there all

(16:19):
right. Obviously I got the Giantsand New York. I literally got a
Yankee logo tattooed on my arm.So that's a that's a that's a giving
right there. And then for footbasketball gets a little weird because I love
the Bulls, but I really onlylove the Bulls because they got like the

(16:41):
Flyers. Merchant he starts saying.The moment he starts saying, Lebron just
cut his camera and Michael, nowI don't really watch too much NBA man,
so start cutting his start cutting itoff tone if I had to pick
a team, though, I saythe Bulls. Man. I rocked through
the Bulls at de Ros. Youcan stay alive right now, So yeah,

(17:03):
that that would be my three.What what about your show you got?
Um? Well, I grew updown the block from Yankee Stadium,
so I'm a Yankee fan. Um, I'm a Bulls fan because I grew
up in a Michael Jordan era.So but I had to like my dad.
So this is the thing with meand my football team. My dad
is a Mets fan because he's fuckingmental, so I'm I'm a Yankee fan.

(17:30):
Um. My dad is a Knicksfan because he likes to lose,
and I'm a Bulls fan. SoI asked my dad when I was like
eleven years old, and I said, hey, we don't like the same
sports when it comes to these twothings. Who's your favorite football team?
I'm a ride with you, thismotherfucker, said the Miami Dog. Oh

(17:55):
oh, Bud, So I am, And I tell you I am a
die hard Miami Dolphins fan. I'mriding with the Dolphins all day every day.
So we can't question like like becauseand the only reason and the only
reason he's a Dolphins fan is becausehe won some bet when he was like

(18:18):
in fifth grade, like when JesusChrist was still fucking walking this earth.
This motherfucker want to bet and decidedhe was gonna ride with the Dolphins.
And I'm like, all right,cool, because I'm like, you know
your man's I was. I wasan Opener Raider fan, like I'm hip
hop like the Raiders. What's up? Like we we out, we outside,
and I looked and I was justlike, all right, maybe the

(18:41):
Giant because I'm from New York.But then I got old enough to realize,
like, dang, I ain't gotno sports and my dad is a
big sports fan. I ain't gotno sports from my dad. I played
little league. My dad was mycoach, you know what I mean.
I played basketball. My dad waslike the assistant coach. And I was
just like all right. I gotto high school and I realize I can
hurt niggas and not get in troublefor it. So I was like,

(19:03):
oh, this is my favorite spot, Like I can hurt chip and I'm
not gonna get in trouble. Andthen I got to you know, my
dad, and my dad was likeDolphins, So I'm a dolphin. That's
what's up sentimental value to that choice. Say it is what it is.
So now let's let's let's turn itback to the music real quick. Usually
on the show, the show bringsus up. But I'm gonna steal hit

(19:25):

I had to pick a side.You know what I'm saying, Like,

There's a told difference. And ifyou want to blame us because we sold
your mama and daddy the drugs,that's fine. But you still a fucking

(23:07):
crackhead baby. I'm not gonna liethough. I was thinking about it,
and I'm pretty sure. I'm prettysure Wootang was smoking woollies back in the
day. But anybody and everybody inthat era was shouts out to the wood,
shouts out to the wood. Thoughit was the time the niggas ain't
know what they was doing, andniggas knew what it was dorm Come on,

the buyer niggas a paid ten thousanddollars for playing the league. That's shit
crazy or buy your daughter calls somethingnigga like, that'sh truth. That's why
I with Tupac man, he gotone of the hardest lines ever, bro
one of the hardest. When Ihear this ship, this ship fucking resonated

(25:00):
with me, well not resonated withme personally, but with a close loved
one that I had nearby. Anyways, he said, And even as a
crack theme, Mama, you alwayswas a black queen. Mama. Now,
I just gotta disclose, fully disclosed. My mom wall never smoked crack,
you know well either, but Idid have Like at my wedding.

definitely nearby, and to see peoplego through that, you know, and

like those types of drugs as atleast close to me. But you see
it with the pills and all thisother fun shit. People think because the
doctor will prescribe it, that's fine, But really that's not the case.
You know what I'm saying, Bro, I told you out here in Baltimore,

it's fucking crazy, like the zombieswalking around, like the zombie apocalypse.

(26:11):
And if we put all our moneytogether, I'm gonna be real with you,
we could buy a whole block.And I know people say they could
buy a block. No, wecould buy both sides of a whole block,
the buildings and everything like It's it'sreally that crazy. So but let's
let's let's move on to the nextthing. Jay brought up your top five
um hip hops artists. So I'mgonna ask if you can have one producer

(26:40):
to work with and one feature towork with. Who would that be?
But do some sky stores. That'sgonna give it. Wow. I didn't
expect that from you. Yeah,I needed sky Stores rep. Like,
what's your favorite Star Stores work?Why would you say that one of my

(27:02):
favorite Scott Starts records. To behonest with you, bro, I probably
can't even name it. It's beenso wrong. But I've been staring fatuated
with his beats and everything. BrodMan that touched us. That man touch
everything in the industry everything, Andlike that's what I'm saying, Like to
be honest, like to name asong, I can't even be honest and

(27:26):
tell you if I knew it wasthe perfect record or not, because I
just brought back Alicia Keys. Giveme Alicia Keys, give me something like
that. You know who's doing thatScott on the piano? Yeah, just
shit, Like that's it right that. So that's why I say, if
it's not, if it's not himon the piano, was her, But
he's doing the background beats too.He's laying down that Ye Alicia, most

(27:51):
definitely Alicia kills everything she does onthe He's a beach with that ship.
Well you know what I'm saying,Like when she was first saw coming up
with her wrecords and squishy Scotts andknow that like them them first them.
The ships was classic. Like Isaid, like everybody's remixing all these old
you see, they're going sample beatsthat were on you everything like that.

(28:11):
Ain't nobody sample the Scots like that. Ain't nobody. It's an open market
over there. That shs hard.That's hard to do. You know.
I heard Scott Stories don't slip,don't clear his samples. That's what No,
I'm just playing. I made thatup. Who's Who's the feature you
would want to be on the record. One of my favorite rappers, Jadis.

(28:34):
I'm sure I gotta get Jada kissis one of the longest running performing
And I know, I know JadaPerson. You know what I'm saying,
Like i'd be every time you comedown here the Florida you can be the
same second, be the Save Rouleball, like be the Save Studio. I
know, Jada Person. I keepsucking with about I hear. I hope

(28:55):
you listening to this in the head. This They in London. Theyre in
London right now. They got theygot some shows in London. Yeah,
my dude, that's my dude.But I definitely tell you like Jada Jada
Reppers used to have me like Goosebumps, like smoking gun all them ships.

(29:15):
And I was a kid and sheused to like really make me feel
like, yeah, I gotta getout of you. Up man, I
died, you know, like youstruck better than this ship. He was
just talking before we got before westarted rolling. We was just talking about
when he did that fifty cent track. But he did them and you know
that person was so hard. Hesaid steel comfortable with your own skin.

(29:37):
Yeah, in the garden and Nassafighting the chimp with the glass job.
Bro, my boy went off.Bro that she was that sh was wild.
Bro, Like after that, kidsgoes in. Yeah, after that,
I was like because it wasn't nothingpersonal. It was just straight up
bars, just like Yo, I'mI'm better than you. Back up,
He's not like he started dropping shitlike when you would snitch you this you
had not He's just not better thanrapp at you, Bro, I'm better

(30:00):
than you have. Right. So, So with that being said, so
two of your top fives is kissingfat so to speak, right because the
locks and fat Right, So,how did you feel about that? Freddie
versus Jason mixtape no album. You'retalking about fabulous Freddie versus Lation yea it's

(30:23):
theirs, It's stairs together, Freddieversus Jason kissing is it is dope?
Though right, it wasn't project.It wasn't their hardest project, but definitely
your Jackie definitely most definitely, butlike it wasn't their hardest project. The
only reason I feel like Kiss cameout on top is because Kiss stuck to

(30:49):
the subject um. He stuck.He understood the assignment, so to speak.
Right, because there's one record onthere um that they have together,
and Fab talks his ship and I'mI'm a big sab than um. Fab
talks his ship, you know aboutBuccatti's you know everything. But Kiss breaks

(31:11):
down how he's gonna walk to you, get you with the machete and do
this to you. And he paintsthat picture in your mind for that one
song and goes, this is whatJason would duty if he was to get
you. He's not running, he'swalking to you. He's going through this,

(31:33):
He's going through that. He's gonnaget you the machete. Like bro.
Once I heard that, I wasthis thing is on a whole new
level. And I love I loveFab. Fab is definitely bar wise one
of my favorites, but I feltlike kiss held it down on on that
on that Freddy g Yeah now andI definitely I tell you right now,

(31:56):
I put anything I got you youwant, you tell me we're going to
that bottle and I'm putting at myold mic savings with Jay because I'm firs.
That's one of my favorite I feelyou know, I love Cassidy too
that you want to ask me fora six, I say Cassidy too,
But that's just that's just Cathy whoCassidy the hustler there. It's like you

(32:22):

But when he got up there withGoods, I watched Goods take that
nigga. So yeah, that broke. Yeah. Likewise, Bro, that

(33:27):

the day, and I'm sure youknow he's still got I ain't. I
ain't about to see that man onthem mic I'll tell you that even with
that, anytime he wanted, I'llput my life, I'll put I'll put
a leader salary against it. Cassidy. Yeah, man, nigga stuck in
nineteen ninety seventy ship man like I. Nigga don't get out of big.

(33:49):
He's so he's in a time warpthat I would. I'm willing to bet
anything. Like I said, theNuggets are gonna win tonight, Like Bro,
I'm not even I don't even raplike that. I will be Cassidy.
The freestyle and tone. You couldput this as a as a fucking
uh, a little script or whatever, to promote this shit, Cassidy,

(34:15):
you want it, come hot letme this. This is my thing.
This is my thing with Casside isthe last two time niggas booked you down

what happened to Hotel perform that aboutthe hustler perform that? Like I'm telling

(34:58):
that Cassidy is. Cassidy is notwhat niggas think. He's not. He's
not prepared for that ship. I'mtelling y'all right now. And we could
put this as a hot take.Cassidy's not prepared for me, because I
can name I can even at leastI can even at least three to five
rappers that would take Cassidy out.Cortez take Cassidy out hit man. Holler

(35:23):
could probably take Cassidy out to umshit conceited could take Cassidy out. He's
that conceited exactly. That's what I'msaying. Like you could take Cassidy out.
Murder Moot could take Cassidy out.I don't know what move could take

(35:49):
Cassidy out. Bro the old movement, not Cassidy. You want to know
what Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right. You want to know
why move has been falling off becausehe's fucking with Dame Dash too much.
He's believing all the ship that DameDash for putting out. But whatever,
that's my cousin, Dan. Yeah, she hit him up because we're yet.

(36:13):
You know, I've been waiting ona call back for Dame for like
ten years. Uh. Like Itold you, I'm Puerto Rican black and
per union man. You know howblack people live, man, Like I
said that, that's my that's mysecond cousin. But my family and his
family, I don't know. Iwouldn't need born here, So shit happened.
Generations to go where they don't fuckwith each other. Mom like his
aunt n, that's his mom ismom my heart. I know I know

(36:37):
Dan, No, Damn personally too, because it's like, you know how
he is. He's a real he'sa real stub on dude, and my
family stuff. He's he's he's he'snot stun He's a fuck. He's a
fucking He's not stubborn. He's abasket case. Bro. That nigga.
That that that nigga, fucking thatnigga sister Jim Jones Juice from the original

(36:58):
Jim Jones not a rapper beating thatnigga SIPs that from the moment I was
born, From the moment I wasborn, you know I'm related to the
game. That's definitely my family,bro, from the moment I was born.
My family never had no ties.And because because if you can't do
nothing from him, if you can'tdo nothing from him, you don't want

(37:21):
to do nothing for you. He'sI mean, I'm not gonna talk ill
your family, but to me,and I don't watch so many interviews,
I see the type of ship.You know, you see the type of
body he walks. Yeah, there'speople his own, his own sun don't
like him. So like that sayswhat it is right there. I'm telling

(37:43):
you, bro, it's a blackfamily being black and being Spanish, but
you see both sides and shit likethat. Bro, And it's just I
always I always told people I'm onehundred percent Puerto Rican, but I'm the
blackest fucking Puerto Rican You're ever meetin your life. Like this is where
I grew up, you know,I mean, like this is me I
embodied about so but so I getto the point. But to the point,

(38:06):
I don't even give a fuck because, like I said, I don't
get tired of me. You know, everybody, everybody asked me the whole
thing, what you I tell PuertoRican? And I don't even telling that
peruvieca auto man not say I'm PuertoRican and black and anybody adventially black.
Look at I ain't. I ain'tgonna keep aving with you what you were
on white shit. The moment yousaid you peruvin, I was like,

(38:27):
all right, cool, so youand my wife can get me this disconnect
for this cloth that I'm trying toget because that Peruvian cotton, it's something
different. You did what I'm saying, like a lot of Mogreters don't know
about that Peruvian cotton, bro,that Peruvian cott. J you know about
that Peruvian cotton. Bro that Peruviancotton, my dude, it will it

(38:49):
will make it almost feels like satinlike on your like, and they make
shirts out of it, and broam, I lying, bro that Peruvian
cot Okay, pretty this way,you know how didn't make those little Mexican
poncho ships you put over your head. They got the front, Yeah,
like from Mexico and the water pool. Totally different, totally. I got

(39:12):
to look into the prog I'm tellingyou, look like, look a look
up Peruvian cotton. Then look upregular kind ruby and cotton. There's so
much more money in the US,but it's downgraded in Peru because it's a
regular cot. Bro. Trust me, you see, you see, I
have my own murch sometimes. Trustme, some of that shit is ruby,

(39:35):
and I'm not telling you where Iget it from. So just earlier
you told us you're kind of inthe process of a rebrand. You know.
As long as I know, you'vebeen pushing this as like King Pookie
and stuff like that. But latelyI've been seeing you will you know,
push your stuff as too far.I always just assume it was because you
know, Facebook skin will lockdown withwith you know, your names and stuff.

(39:58):
But is there anything that caused thatrebrand where you decided you know what,
Maybe I want to is there astrategy behind that or is that just
something you felt like you just changed? Yeah? No, I go back
to what I was telling. It'sthe same shit. It's like, but
you gotta look at it, right. We ain't gonna be no better than
than than anybody else that's beside it. Or look at every story you go
look at look at the banks youbank with Wells and Fargle, But those

(40:20):
are two partnerships or the two lastnames. It's all about branding your name
when when you're when you're born inthis world and your parents named you what
they named you, you need theLLLC that ship first quarter. When you
have kids in this world, youneed the LLLC their names first quarter because
at the end of the day,that could be the next biggest franchise in
America. You know what I'm saying. It's all about you and how you

(40:43):
prepare to take. So I'm like, okay, I'm over here calling myself.
You know what I called myself.Keep everybody knows, miss people,
you know, everybody knows, butmy name Foy. I'm gonna can't.
Everybody knows that. So that's whatI came from. But my name is
Jafar Book. My dad is ablack man that was a Muslim. You
know what I'm saying. He diedwhen I was six years old. Noah,

(41:04):
But that what I'm saying. Forthat simple fac get the mind of
my dad and I got it.Ys the brand this name and me I'm
over here coming up and I'm brandingsomething that niggas called me in the streak
when I got a child, thisname after me and my father. So
it's like, okay, now thenwhen I when I got old and got
into that boden, It's like,what am I doing here? I need
to brand something for my family,you know? So that way, when

(41:25):
when if I made this Jafar Booka brand, go crazy, create these
lobos, create these this ructa label, this music, you know, drop
this ship, let this ship gocrazy. You know. My son name
is Jafar Book as well. Guessfrom far's right next in line to this
power though by now, I guessfor his job is to orchestrate the same
instructions on his chick. And I'msaying just to make sure that you forever

(41:50):
keep a brand out here. There'sbeen a Bank of America for how long?
More and more than our life generations. There's been a Dunkin and go
Nuts for how long those two people'slives name. That's not a fucking something
they made up with. So myquestion something donor. And there's one dude
they've suthing dumb and that partners inthe company that they glanded and got a

(42:14):
franchise all over the United States andreburb forever money. So my uh,
yeah, they sponsored today's episode.So my thing is this, right,
Um, you just you just saidsomething to me that resonating with me.
Right, Um, I'm writing thebook all my life and I'll put it

(42:38):
out there and this probably the firsttime I put it out there, and
my bad tone. You're not apart of this right now. But my
my government name is David Quabos andI'm a junior. And one of the
things that I really, um Iasked my parents was was for uh substance

(43:00):
of their view on things that happenedthat I don't remember from the time they
met to the time they had meand then up until I think I asked
them when I was I think Iwanted to take it until like I was
like ten twelve years old, becauseI felt like that's where I remember so

(43:22):
right, And my dad decided toput in One of the things that he
sent me was I named my sonDavid, and he and he thought that
it would be a great testament becauseyou know, David in the Bible is
you know, you know to dothat, you know, got Goliath and

(43:45):
all that, and lo and behold, his son me decides to change his
name. And I didn't legally changemy name, but everybody knows man a
show, and even my parents inpublic call me show like I don't even
you know, when I'm on fourwalls of someplace, I'm comfortable, you

(44:07):
can call me David and me andme and my dad will turn around.
But when I'm out and about,like my parents have been the shows with
me. My parents have been theconcerts, my parents have been whatever,
and they show and I turned aroundbecause that's second nature for me, right.
But he was almost embarrassed that whenhe sent it to me, he

(44:30):
said, you know, um,my son decided to change his name when
he doesn't realize David defeated Goliath.They David did this, And then I
got saved, you know what Imean? Like I walked with God like
more than probably a lot of people, and I realized that David wasn't always

(44:52):
like the person that everybody wants himto beat. Like he cheated on his
wife, you know, anybody Davidcheated on his wife. He decided to
have a baby with somebody else.He decided to act a fool, you
know, being naked and spine onchicks, you know whatever. I'm using

(45:15):
my own words, but my dadwas like disgusted that I decided to use
the name Show instead of David,and I had to go back and be
like, bro, do you knowthe story of David? So my question
to you is, now you werenamed after somebody, and now you named
your son after yourself, right,um, what do you think or what

(45:40):
what would you want that legacy tobe? It's a real question. Honestly,
I don't even think that I cananswer that because I feel like every
human being does their own that's theirown thing. So I could say that
my dad probably wanted to leave alegacy for me, right a roll?

(46:02):
Right, Yeah, that's what Imean. Like, what what do you
think your dad wanted you to be? Naming you that and that, what
do you want to your son tobe going forward? Anything but me,
to be honest, anything but me. I don't want my son to feel
like you gotta rap because my sondon't come from that. My son don't
come from that. My son likeyou said, my son come from a

(46:25):
nice home. My son ain't gotto do none of that job rent bullshit
on the internet because that nigga heplaying basketball. He playing basketball what I'm
saying, and then that's what that'sthat's what he knows because he hain't been
evolved into that other stuff. Soonly thing I can say, it's like
the legacy that I want to leavefor my children from behind for them would
be for them to be financially statewardas far as any anything that you want

(46:49):
to do, anything that he wantedto do, I want behind him one
hundred percent. I said, Icould say here he said he wanted to
be a builder. So for thatI rock with that. Like you want
to build house with my brother andbuildhouses, name your construction company to fall
Booking Construction, whatever youone naming andthen keep it coming like that, like
however you want to come, that'show we come. Because as a count.

(47:10):
That's your duty as a pain.If if you see your kids take
a like in or something, thenyou need to go ahead and put that
every back towards that because that's whatthey like. If you don't want to
give a kid what they liked,that's what they're gonna do. Find something
else like. And when they findsomething else to like, it might not
be what you liked and what theyliked the first and they might not tell

(47:30):
you about it this time because theydon't want you to get what I'm saying.
So, like I said, we'recoming from wherever where we have to
evolve. Man, we definitely,I'm pretty sure. But I hope people
come with the same mindset and mindstaking or as gentleman like us. I
know I'm not talking to now foods. You know, we all grown in
here, So what I'm saying hasto make sense. The only only people

(47:52):
that come on here is it's liketrying to prove a point of that we're
coming here saying nonsense, Like ithas to make sense to me for me
to even walk that way right aroundwalk for god like, man, if
I don't see no light over there, with the fuck, I'm walking that
way. Yeah, I'm saying,and that's why I can buy every day

(48:13):
like I wake up every day,graceful, appreciative. You know. I
called him my kid. Make sureI tapping with machildren. Hey, what's
up, my kid? My sonbeen in karate football, soccer, flat
football here, and I'm doing allthat because I'm like, okay, you're
gonna play baseball next. What youwhat you like? What did you like
out of all those experiences? Andthen whatever he tells me he liked to

(48:34):
do. You know, if myback it up, back it up?
Absolutely, we are talking about checkmy back. I thought completely still in
my mind, but I just wantedto say that that's that's that's real advice
right there, and I like tohear it. I know it's it's pretty
general, but no, you definitelygot to be supportive of your kid.
I'm about to have a daughter intwo weeks. By the time of this
episode airs, it'll be one weekaway. And I'm you you do you

(49:00):
know your your your baby of yourbaby's about to be a daughter? Yeah?
Yeah. The whole time you havea you have a you have a
gun, you have a gun.A couple. You know what I'm saying.
No, look, Blake, Imean we I know tone is probably
like, don't answer him, butlike legal guns were good? Yeah yeah,

(49:24):
yeah, because stal deal show,Deal show will show up. Bro.
I never I never met you faceto face. You know, Like,
I don't care what anybody feels aboutthis, but Jay's my homeboy.
His wife is my home girl,and their daughter is my niece. And
anybody that got problems with Jay gotproblems with me. So just you know,

(49:46):
deal show will show up like wegot this. I appreciate that.
Man. I'm not even trying tothink about all that shit. I have
a twenty two year old daughter.I mean, they're like what you're talking
about? Yeah, that's it.Even time, bro, time is such
a scary concoct. I got mydaughter when I was eighteen. I'm forty

(50:08):
one right now, twenty two yearsold. I'm just the box off more
than me right now because he's stillin that error. He's like, yo,
I'll kill you, and if mydad finds out, he's gonna kill
you too. Let me ask you, because you say you had your kids
and you want your kids, sothat means you do you think your kids
were the reason. And I'm kindof assuming low key, But your kids

(50:32):
are the reason that you kind ofstepped away from the street life because I
know back in the day, youknow he was you know, you was
making moves, you know what I'msaying. And do you think your kids
heavily influenced that or was it beforeyou even had your kids? Most definitely,
man my kids on because you know, when you don't got no children,
man, you outshide by yourself likeyou gotta be competing. Honest.
I'm pretty sure every day when youwalked outside in New York, you wasn't

(50:57):
thinking about your mom and your dadgoing outside, like Nigga, this is
my buyer. Like what I'm doing, like where we're going on streamon Nigga,
we broke up, We did it, you know what I'm saying,
Like that was the hood aspects,so that whatever act up at one seven
eighth on the way, shout outdo the boys to the gun Shout out

(51:17):
to the Gun Hill Boys. I'msorry, I'm representating Ji on this side.
I'm gonna trying to get some ofthe one seven eight boys on the
on the show. We'll get adjustedme though, you know, like,
because like I said, since Ihad my kids, I went back to
prison again. You know what,I'm cancer, it looked like it really
ain't nothing that a man being aman, that's gonna you're gonna You're gonna
take a certain risers, You're gonnafall. When you fall, you gotta

(51:39):
be a man. But at thesame time that most definitely my children inspired
me to be totally different than theman I used to be, because boy,
I used to be something totally different. Everybody knows that. Most definitely
back to what the question you wasasking me, my kid, my kids
definitely showed me all the way down. Man, I was running a hunting
my eyes five hour No, I'mdoing twenty five for ask you a question.

(52:01):
So my question is this, andyou can and you can totally side
step this question. And you know, I don't mean to get into your
business, but I volunteer with youknow, certain certain communities and certain kids
that um don't have dad's moms orthe perfect environment. But um, what

(52:27):
you go what you go to prisonfor? And on the on the other
side, you know, what wouldyou say to people that are watching this
right now that might stumble upon youknow as a kid, what what they
shouldn't do or why they shouldn't doit. I wanted to prison twice,

(52:49):
all right, for what for guds? Two prisons? That'll do it's but
both times both times, okay,time I was sixteen years old. The
second time I was what twenty sevenyears old? Right? And what was
both of those bits us? Thefirst time, the first time I went

(53:14):
to prison for my pistol, Idid three and a half years. The
second bed I did, I dida year of the day. Because it
wasn't it wasn't necessarily the same situation. I'm saying. It was like constructive
possession on the second But at thesame time, I sucked my whole ship
up when I was sixteen years oldthe first time. Why would you say

(53:35):
that? Because I was a minerthat got caught with a pistol and I
went to prison. You know whatI'm saying, I was only sixteen.
I'm living in the state of Floridaat each time, in the state of
Florida, when you get to thedenot this is the lesson for the children
here that you know, in thestate of Florida, eighteen years old,
you are legally able to travel witha shotgun in your back seat in your

(53:57):
trump anything like that I'm saying,when you're how old you said eighteen years
old? Good? If so,if I were away the two years and
got a shot run, it's better, motherfucking I'm little me, And whether
it got pulled over, I hadhave been good in the state of floor.
You know what I'm saying. Butthen once you hit twenty one,

(54:19):
Florida just passed the bill way.There's no you no longer have to get
a license to carric. When Iwas growing up, this time to get
a license to carric, I'm saying, like the best thing to do,
brother, if you like us,you want to toe five? You want
to ride in the car with fivedrake those two a yard officials and nine
fucking doesn't even you legally can doit? Stay out of trouble to you

(54:42):
twenty one years old, star enoughfor it, they get a license to
straight. Anytime you get pulled over, you're gonna be pulled over for three
to four hours, but you're gonnacheck all the guy again weapons, But
you legally garrid like that. Mymind buying a right said, don't don't
try to buy no fire when youknow you ain't ready for no fire,
because the moment you try to buythat gun and you know the legally you

(55:04):
can't obtain it. To suck itup for the rest of your life.
You can just let anybody around youhave all that ship and you just there
and would let you go stone through. You know what I'm saying. Get
to be your age and get itlegal the once you legally obtain it,
anybody you shoot with it. Youyou explained what I'm saying that ain't snitching
If you kill somebody with a firearmthat belong to you, but you it

(55:27):
floor the law, called the police. I just shot somebody had gotten them
Walmart. You know what I'm sayingLike that, ain't snitching. I just
killed somebody. I ain't gonna dolife behind this, nigga. You gotta
go ahead and report that. Butyou legally are able to do it that
way. If you if you getthat gun from your friend and you do
that shit at Walmart like that andyou're only nineteen years old, you're going

(55:50):
to jail for life. So mything is, why did you feel growing
up the way we grew up thatyou needed to carry a pistol at that
point? My environment? Yeah,like I come from New York, bro
I've watched it is getting buck figgy. I watched my mom and my aunts
David and like, come on,like, I come from a place where

(56:13):
you walking with your cold and getsnuff for your coat. Like I got
ribbed from my chain when I wasseven years old. By my days.
That's friends. They found him.I didn't even know I got robbed,
and I was in a schoolyard.You know what I'm saying. The nigga
took my shit off my neck,I'm thinking, but playing basketball. They
found out he was right around thecorner. Time to sell my ships to

(56:34):
some frock and beat the ship out. That nigga got my ship back.
But fortunately, you know, wehad niggas in the hood that was like
that. So you like, youcan't pass people like that. You can't
like, come on, man,you I could be on your square at
all time. So with that said, I got two more questions, my
bad Jake. One of one ofthe questions is how does that resonate into

(56:57):
your music? Everything You've been mybars and I said my bars. They're
speaking to that now before we leavethis podcast. Man, Like I said
my tape being ready, I justsaid dropping for label reasons and shit like
that. I definitely known y'all sendme y'all emails, and I know what
y'all love the now y'all see,bro, the lyrics is dead. Like

(57:19):
I told you, I come heremy favorite rappers. So my bars is
definitely not signing like no Rich theKid. And like I said, I
getting every vague reggae country music onthe sign sign me, they ain't getting
country. You know, country musicis just country music is hip hop,
just in in in the in thein the But that's what I'm saying,

(57:42):
Like I just that's the type ofmusicians that I turned into. It's just
like, you know, instead ofdropping because the normal people do it strong,
then they want to, you know, go outside with the show.
Everybody go through this, this andthat. To me, I go and
I'm like, I can stay hard, write my music, go to the
booth knockout six records, and I'moh, yeah, that's what I did.
Okay, well you know now I'mstrapping up, getting ready. It's

(58:06):
like lacing up your chuff. I'mjust lacing up. But that day when
I did get that next opportunity,and it's like, nigga, you can't
tell me. You're like my musicbecause I got everything. So basically,
from where we come from, youjust got that work and you're backing it
up and getting ready to put iton the street. I got that metaphorically,
