a Damn Killer aka Adam. Yes, because my real name
is Adam If it makes sense, Yeah, it makes sense.
So what's up? Man? I honestly, I ain't gonna lie
to you. I'm trying to like pride myself on being

(01:25):
like super hip to a lot of shit going on
in like music. But you know, every once in a
while you just be missing ship and I kind of
like missed your whole ship.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what's up.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
So I got put on you by the Hungirl Monica
and I was like.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Shout out Monica.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
But then I saw you do the arrest me Daddy thing,
and I was like, I think I've seen this day. Yeah,
where did this arrest me Daddy start? So?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I was in New York and I saw a police
officer and he had like his hand on his gun.
I was with this guy named Swath seven, and I
was just like, ooh, arrest me daddy. Because I was
making fun of him because he was like all tense, right,
And then I posted it and then it went viral,
and I was like, I'm gonna just keep doing it
because I had this other trend that I was doing,

(02:07):
like if your name started with an A or B,
doing all the letters, this is for you. And then
I was trying to think of what else to do,
but I just did that randomly and it just went up.
So I kept doing it, and then it became like
a trend on TikTok, like kids be doing it.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Has it? Uh like have you done it? And it
not gone very well? We're like somebody like, nah, not yet.
When your guy was just showing me he was torking
for the National Guard and they went away.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, we both did it forever man. Yeah, we was
in DC. We had to show in DC on this
tour with Chance the Rapper, and I did the arrest
me daddy to the National Guard. They just walked away.
He was talking to the national Guard. They just walked away.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Who would have thought, all you gotta do is make
them feel uncomfortable with uh some gyration and some yeah,
make him.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Uncomfortable with their own sexuality.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Like we got to get out here, had a deal.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, that's how you protest, make them uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Great protests strategy right there. So you're from Chicago, originally
from Chicago born, and you like you're not related to
Chance because you you look like and Taylor. You get
that a lot. I'm sure, yeah, I get it, especially
in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I used to get it way more like before people
knew me, because they were like people knew them first, right,
So like before people knew me, they would always say that, do.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
You feel like, you know, Chicago's kind of got like
this like interesting you know, dynamic of like the music
industry where it's like there's like one side is like
crazy drill ship and the other side is like Chance
and Common and VIC and you know, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's definitely side to it.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
But the crazy thing is we all still know each other, right,
Like we'd be knowing all the drill people and stuff,
and we all like grew up in the same neighborhoods
as those type of people.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Is it like for you, like, did you did you
ever like give it give a shot at like doing
some drill music?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Nah? That that wasn't never me for real.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I was always like the weird person in the hood
because I grew up in Roseland and I also lived
in Chatham in the low End and a bunch of
other places like this, So it was I was always
and I.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Had pink hair.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I used to have pink hair at pink Locks, So
people always thought I was just.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Like weird dreadlocks.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, yeah, people thought I was weird.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Was this like like a little Oozy era?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
It was like before like me and little UZI was
at the same point. At one point I got songs
a little loozy too, Yeah, shout out a little uzy.
But yeah, that was around that era. It was like
what they call it the SoundCloud era, Oh the dark times. Yeah,
because I had pink here in like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Do you look back at the SoundCloud era like positively? Yeah?
I was. I'm kind of indifferent about it. There was
some good shit that came out of it, and then
there was also like some of the worst, like shit
of all time. I feel you, how do you? I'm
thirty yeah, thirty eight now.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, so I'm twenty nine, so yeah, I get it. Yeah,
a lot of I remember they used to call us
like mumble rappers.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, I mean I don't think a lot of that
ship was fair. But I do feel like the music
industry like just started signing like anybody who was like
getting like views on like Instagram and ship, Like I
remember the Supreme Patty Kid kid I used to squirt
lemons in his eyes, like, yeah, I remember. I think
three hundred gave him like a single deal or something

(05:22):
back then, which is like crazy, I think crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I feel like they do the same stuff now with TikTok.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, I feel like it's it's chilled out a little
where they're like, yeah, they will give you like a
single deal. They like, we'll see if something's here. Yeah. Yeah.
And then you got Timbaland fucking you know, the AI artist.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I don't like that. That's kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, But now I feel like the SoundCloud error was cool.
I feel like obviously we got a lot of dope,
a lot of dope artists. I think Juice wrld's obviously generational, and.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
X was dope. It was Juice World, x XX was loozy.
I'm trying to think who else was. It was a
lot of people from that, you know, yeah, Cardi, It
was a lot of people and it was around for
like that. The whole thing because like I had like
a little wave back then too. That's why people are
now are like, how to he blow up like ten

(06:08):
years later, right, because like I was on tour. I
went on tour with Young Lean back then. Oh word,
and I did like world tours back then, and a
lot of people some people don't even know that I'm
the same person from then.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, I mean if you had pink hair back then.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
It is long, I'm sure, and I acted different. I
was more like mysterious and like you were like one
of them mysterious.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, which is do you feel like because that was
like a thing back then, Like you had to be
too mysterious. You don't want to overexpose yourself.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, that was like a thing back then.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
But that doesn't really work anymore unless you're like Playboy
CARDI right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Right, you kind of are. You got to kind of
be the weekend or Playboy card.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
That's what I'm saying, Like the weekend Playboy card that
works for them, but like nine times out of ten
is not going to work for you because they have
a lot of money behind them.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Essentially, you're kind of like uh, young Og at this point.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, at this point, yeah, Like some people look at
me like the.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, I mean you're you're twenty nine, so you're you're
not you know, you're not a kid.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, no, not a a kid.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Now. So how was your kid's four? Oh yeah you
got a terrorist at four. Yeah. Basically, three is the
worst year if you could survive. I was. Everybody always
says two's is like the terrible twos, not three is
when this little motherfucker thinks he's grown.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, I mean I feel like and he's getting stronger now.
So like he used to punch me and it did hurt.
Now he's like busting my lips.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah. Now he accidentally hits you in the balls you're
going down, Yeah, like hurts for sure. Yeah, I'm like
damn yeah. And he likes punching and what uh what
was because you know, it's got to be a big
deal for you to get asked to go on tour
with Chance coming coming from Chicago.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Oh yeah, that was a big deal.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Like when he had when like when we announced it,
since I'm from Chicago, like my phone like didn't stop ringing,
like especially like my parents and stuff because my parents
are fans in so they was like real excited about it.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
That's gotta be hinded. Like, yo, my parents, they fuck
with your chance. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, I feel like he's.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Probably like a lot of parents' favorite rapper.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, I would say so. My dad was calling me
about it. My dad met a one time too, I
like at a bar.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah. I feel like when I when I when you
first sent me your ship, I definitely was like, they
gotta be related. This gotta be a cousin.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
No nah, But people say it the even our parents, like, hey.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
We got to stop the interview to tell you about
our good folks. Odd Socks, man, Now, these are the
odd Socks basics, Ladies and gentlemen. Now, when I tell
you this is a product that every single day I'm
alive for the last five six years I have used
are these odd socks basics. Now, what odd Socks is
doing is they're kind of reinventing the sock game, if

(08:49):
we're being honest, and the underwear game. You know a
lot of times you'll hit Walmart, you'll hit Target, you'll
get some socks, you get some draws. They're affordable, stand
up with holes in them. They don't really feel great,
uh not. Odd Socks, Ladies and gentlemen, These odd Socks
Basics are the most comfortable socks I've ever had on
my feet. Not only that, but you're super affordable. Fourteen

(09:11):
ninety nine for a six pack. That's it oddsocks dot Com.
And if you don't believe me, sock check full. Wait,
that's the exes on the other side. There we go. Ah,
you see that. Sorry you had to see those white legs.
But it's so dope that you know, I get to

(09:32):
push a product that I use and that I love,
so odd Socks they got the six pack of socks
for fourteen ninety nine at odd socks dot com the basics.
This is the future of socks, the future of underwear
comfort and affordability. I'm talking about affordability without jeopardizing the
quality because they are the most comfortable socks you ever
put on your feet. Ladies and gents and the Etcetera's

(09:55):
got to show love to the ETCeteras we like all
the stripes on the flag. There are odd socks dot Com. Man,
much love to my brothers over there. Make sure you
get some right now odd socks dot Com. Just get
back to the interview. I see you say that you
are the only major artist that replies to everything. Yeah,
is that is? Can that be time consuming?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Very time consuming? My screen time is like fourteen hours,
Like now I try to respond everything. So at one
point I was actually responding to every single message, and
now it's like I'll take like a couple hours and
respond to people, but I get dms like every minute now.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Every minute, so like what like essentially people kind of
like took advantage of like yo, he's replying, we gotta
hit him.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, it's literally every minute like I show. I don't
know who I show. I think I showed forever. Man,
it was like it's like every minute's like one minute,
two minute, three minute.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Four minute. That's crazy. Yeah, all day like NonStop. Did
you feel like that you being interactive with your fans
like kind of resulted in you being able to kind
of build like a following.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah that definitely helped because before when I wasn't doing that,
I had like a smaller, like cold following. But now
it's more like I'll say I'm gonna be here in
thirty minutes and four.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Thousand people pull up. That shit's wild. Yeah, So it's
like different.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Did you see the UCLA when I Yeah, so it's
been like that in every city.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So every city you're going to, you'll do like a
random like you'll pull.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Up here, yeah, and it's like that in every single
it's been the craziest place so far. It was one
in Toronto that was pretty crazy. I think it was
University of Toronto or u S in Chicago. Loyola was
crazy in Chicago too. That was the only one I
didn't I wasn't able to get out the car, like
they like swarm the car and like the police, Mami leave.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Damn. I just saw that. But did you see the
video of young Boy decided to go to Bourbon Street
with no security? No, but that's crazy. He's so wid Yeah,
he's CRAZYPS literally like kidnapped him, yeah, and like got
him up out of there. We can't have this, Like
you just can't be walking around like Bourbon Street and
your NBA Young Boy in the state Louisiana.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
I feeling though, because I'll be doing the same thing
and like people tell me, like NBA Young Boy is
crazy famous. But like people tell me to like stop
doing that, and I'm like no.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, like do you uh do you do a lot
of people I don't want to assume your sexuality. But
I assume you're straight man, yeah, because you have a kid, right, Yeah,
But do people assume that you're you're by or you're
gay because of the arrest me daddy memes? Yeah? Do
you get like a lot of dudes hitting on you?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
How do you like, you know, be polite and be
like yo, just fun. I'm comfortable with my sexuality. We
have some good suss humor going.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
But uh yeah, I mean I was just cool with everybody.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I like it. Have you got any Pride bookings off
the arrest me daddy shit? Low key? No.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
But I went to Pride and it was crazy.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I feel like Pride is really motherfuckers really be having fun. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
I went to Pride. It was like it was NonStop pictures,
Like people, you.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Little hip hop club, it's all about popping bottles and standing. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
I don't really like the I'm not even like a
club person, Like, I only go to the club when
I'm like bookes.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Right, if there's a bag to pick up? What do
you do for fun? Like, how do you unwind for
fun outside of you know, hanging with your kid? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Kids stuff? Basketball? Used to play basketball a lot. I
played baseball in college. I like baseball. I haven't had
much free time recently, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Like no TV, no games.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I haven't been watching TV or anything. Like yesterday I
did the show, went home, went to sleep, woke up,
came here.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
No binge watching. Not right now? What about like in
the past, is there any TV show you loved?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm trying to think, who's that one that got canceled?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
A lot of shows get canceled.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, I know, uh love Craft Country, Oh Ship on
HBO it was only one season, which was crazy. Yeah
that was a good show, but it got canceled.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Maybe yeah HPO be having some heat and they just
take it away. Yeah, that was like one of my
favorite shows and it got canceled, and I was like,
what the fuck? Yeah? Great, great single season though it was.
You're independent? Yeah, independent. I'm assuming that there's probably a
lot of opportunity for you to sign if you wanted to.
Is there anything that would, like, you know, what would
have to happen for you to decide to go and

(14:17):
do the major machine thing.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I mean, it would have to be a very great deal,
because I get offered deals all the time now and
now I'm like, at the point where I reached the
level where I'm very financially stable on my own. So
and I was like doing music for like fifteen years.
So I'm like I made it to this point without
a label, Like I might have needed them before, but

(14:41):
like now it's like I feel like I don't really.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I feel like, once you have the fan base, if
you can have four thousand people pull up and with
thirty minute notice, like that's that's what I'm saying, there's
nothing the label can really help you with.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
There's like signed artists that are way more like famous
than me that can't have that many people pull up
in thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I would say most are.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, so and they know that.
So that's why like labels hit me to help promote
other artists.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Would you like consult for a major label.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, I would do that. Yeah, I'm not against it.
But coach a rapper maybe yeah, but I would definitely
tell people that like they're trying to fuck you over.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
If it's like you know, like, hey, I know I'm
supposed to be working for the label here and coaching you,
but they're they're fucking.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
You, Like I would just feel bad, Like, but you.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Know what it is too, is like I feel like
a lot of the artists who kind of chase the advances,
they're kind of like lazy, low key. It's like you're
kind of like, don't I don't feel like some some
artists I feel bad because they signed too early and
they get kind of caught up in a situation that
they can't get at it for a while. But then
there's other artist where you're like, yeah, you probably should
have took the deal you took because you're lazy as fuck.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, you kind of if you're if you're not trying
to work more than the average person, you should definitely
take a deal because like being independent is a lot
of work and you have to be like business savvy.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
You can't be like a lazy dumb person for.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like in terms of the business model of like you
being independent, because I feel like streaming is like, you
know whatever, it's like cherry on top money. What is
the meat and potatoes of like how you're able to
kind of survive as an independent artist.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
So I get like a lot of brand deals. I
get like sinks, think merch merchant stuff, meet up shows.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Just because did SUBI give you a deal because I
saw you shot?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Should they giving me you clothes?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
They do give you clothes. Well, that's good. It's a
good brand to get free ship from. Yeah, they got
the jeans with the with the tag on the back pocket.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah, but we need a deal or somebody else's going
give me one and then I'll be wearing all their shuits.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Is that a Japanese company? I think it feels like
it's Australian. Have you been in Japan yet? Nah?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
But I'm they're talking about booking me in Tokyo, right,
was crazy?

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I just came back. I haven't been there yet. It's
a vibe. It's like going of the future.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Looky, that's why I heard I want to go.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, it's like walking into like I don't know, it's
it's wild. They got this area called Electric City where
it's like video games and like like it's like a
radio shack on like steroids.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Like pretty wild, but they're always advanced with like the
game and and stuff.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Definitely go to Tokyo. Are you a big game? Were
you a big gamer or a little bit? What were
you playing? I played like Gears of War. They just
dropped the new version of that on five.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, I played the old one.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, I used to be an Xbox guy just because
the Gears of War. Yea, Gears of War was a
good game. And then I kept getting that fucking red
Ring of Death. Yeah, and I had to had to
make the switch. Yeah. I only played the first two
Gears of War, but they just dropped like the re
uh like the red what do they call it when
they remax?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
You say on PlayStation five?

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, because it was the Xbox.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Only, yes, five. Oh. I think I think the Xbox
is kind of just realized that they're like as a
console cooked. Yeah, I mean, no one's buying fucking Xboxes
right now.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
I feel that because PlayStation five had a lot of hype,
you couldn't even like buy one.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, it's still liked, no like that anymore. I think
the PS six is probably coming pretty soon.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
I remember I thought about buying one during COVID and
then I was like, you can't even buy one.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah. It was tough. Yeah, all the chips were there,
was like a chip shorts and ship. When you say
you have a most interactive fan base, what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I think my fan base is pretty crazy. Like when
people come and see it in person, it's different. It's
like you see, like I'm not like technically on paper
like the most famous person right now, right, but like
when you see how my fans interact with me, it's
like they've been like comparing it to like Michael Jackson.

(18:53):
That's crazy because it's like four thousand people that are
like all screaming, they're like grabbing me.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Anybody gets tattooed yet, Yeah? Does that trip you out
when you see someone like your name or your face tattooed?

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, that was kind of crazy, Like it was one
guy signed his arm and then he got it tattooed.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Does he get concert tickets in the future. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I told him I was gonna give them my jacket.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I mean that's a good.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, that's not bad. I just haven't seen him yet.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, next time I see you, I'm gonna give you
a jacket. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, when I see him, he's in Chicago. I told
I think I gave him my number. I told him, like,
just keep spam texting me. How did so?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
He wait?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Wait, you gave you gave the dude who tattooed your
name on his body your phone number?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, so I could meet up with him and give
him my jackets.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Has that turned out to be a good or a
bad idea? Well, my phone number leaked, so it's already.
You must have two phones now I need to I
need to get one. Yeah, another one. I'm not you
and I have two phones. You get to keep a galaxy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
No, I have like, like I don't know, like seventeen
hundred miss text messages and it liked my phone like
gets a lot of calls and stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I only have three hundred and forty nine. Yeah, but
it's like somebody leafed my phone number. Do you think
they did that to like, like, was it like a hater?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
I think it was just like fans happy. Yeah. How
did you get banned from the being in Chicago?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I had a meet up there and like they were
just like, yo, this is crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
They had like the helicopters and stuff because they thought
it was like a protest.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
I mean if it could have been, yeah, it been.
Chicago's fucked up right now man.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, And I'm also banned from the Bape store.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Which one in Chicago, all of them any bape store? Yeah,
because of you did a fan thing.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
They wouldn't let me in and then I made a
video and the video got like, I don't know, like
twenty million views or something that telling people not to
shop at Babe and then their management saw it and
then they banned me from all the stories DA. So
now when I walk up, they immediately locked the doors.
I went to New York. One of their people told
me like they had a meeting about me being in

(20:54):
New York, like, he's in New York, don't let him in.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
They probably got your picture like near the register. Yeah, yeah,
damn definitely about to say. I was gonna tell you
when you go to Tokyo, you gotta go to the
Babe store. But I guess you can't go to the
Babe store. I could wear like a disguise. You could,
I feel like, you know, maybe put on like a
I mean you already have a mustache.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
No I did that, though. I put on like a
beard to the one in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
You could go poo shisty, yeah, shisty on. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I wore disguis and they let me in and I
started dancing, and then they were like, oh, it's him,
kick him out.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
So you were the disguise just to get it and
get kicked out again. Yeah, it was like a thing.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
I was like day one of wearing the disguys trying
to get into the Babe store and they let me
in the first day.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Would you ever like do any acting or TV stuff? Yeah?
I was on south Side on Comedy Central. South Side
was on Comedy Central at first. Yeah, oh ship, that's fire.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Where is it at now?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Hulu? Wait, what's what was the show? I'm thinking I'm
thinking they is on the show time, That's what I said. Yeah,
so so so is that something that you want to
pursue more of? Yeah, definitely, definitely want to act more.

to the podcast. Do you feel like this tour has

(23:07):
because I feel like Chance, I feel like this album
has been so like special in terms of just kind
of Chance took his time with this album and it
kind of like, you know, when we talk about album
of the year, it's in that discussion. But what has
like been like just the coolest memory from because the
tour is over, it ended last night last night, obviously
yourself the Russell Chance, Like, what's been the coolest memory

(23:29):
from the tour?

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Coolest memory so far? Me and Chance.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Also we did a meet up in New York because
like he saw how crazy it was, so he wanted
to go to one. So he came to one in
New York and like people saw me and then they
like swarmed me, and they're like, what the fuck Chances
here too?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
So I thought that was cool because did it kind
of give you some relief because then they swarmed him?

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Nah, because then they still like swarm me. It was like,
my fans are like crazy and I feel like we
have like two separate fan bases, right, So like they
kind of swarmed him still, but it was like they
were like still like swarming me too.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I've seen you been like who's been the most random person?
Because I saw you linked up with like Jason Tatum.
I think you just were Squirrella yesterday. Who's been the
most random person that you've been able to hit with
with your uh your online antics.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Jason Tatum was probably ran the most random Maybe or
Pink Panthers. Yeah she's dope speed, but yeah I like
Pink Panthers.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Is it like, uh, you know, I do feel like
there has the gift in the curse of going viral.
The way you go viral is like people might look
at you as like a comedian or like a they
might not take you serious as an artist. Do you
do you feel like that kind of like challenge where
it's like, Okay, people might know me for this, yeah,

(24:55):
but like getting them to the music and to get
them to take you serious as an art artist, is
that something that is difficult?

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, definitely, because, like especially since I started only focused
on my music, so like people only knew me for music, right,
and then like I just saw for years that that
didn't work without like money behind you for for sure.
So I was like I have to do something different
since I am independent, to like get people's attention. So

(25:24):
now it's kind of like some people don't know about
my like my face is bigger than my music right
right now. But I feel like that's a good place
to be because like now people just like whatever I do.
So now I can like put out new songs people
who listen to it. I could do acting, I could
do a bunch of different stuff. But it is kind
of tough sometimes because I am a person.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
That was just like I just want to do music, right.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
You're like a musician at heart, like that's your first love.
If you.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah, like I heard like I've been in like writing
sessions with like Kelly Rowland and like that type of shit.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
So it was cool.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
She's very nice, she's she's a g Yeah, she's but
like it so like coming from like doing shit like
that and then to this. Yeah, it's cool. But yeah,
I definitely am a musician or so please listen to
my music.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Was the last time you dropper was of the Generational Run? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Generational Run?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Are you working on new ship? Yeah? I got a
new single coming out.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
November, some November somewhere in November, New Friday? Yeah, coming.
Have you and l Russell been able to power out
on this tour and like kind of compare because you
guys are kind of independent but in your own ways. Now,
I met him, I love you.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Met him for the first time yesterday.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh really, did you guys get the chat at all? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I told him I liked this music, and then it
got busy. We were gonna make videos within like we
both got busy.

Speaker 1 (27:00):

he does, like the Yeah, he's got his little dance. Yeah. Yeah,
I like him. He's nice. Yeah, he's incredible. Yeah. He's
also like, you know, independently, he's kind of changing the
way a lot of people view like, yeah, how they
can like monetize their fan base. Yeah, because he's independent.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
He's performing at like basketball games and stuff like NBA games,
All Star weekend. I'll start weekend. That's what I'm saying. Normally,
that's like a signed artist thing.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I feel like, yeah, it's like doing a thing where
it's like I think a lot more artists are independent
where it's like an offer based live show. Yeah, oh yeah,
like donation base. Like so it's like, yo, put an
offering for your ticket and we'll prove it or deny.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Oh that's fire.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
So it's like some people might pay twenty bucks, another
person might pay a thousand dollars. Yeah, that's fire.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
He's smart.

And then he's like, yo, I like to perform in
the afternoon so the concerts at two PM.

But I have just been out of town, so I
haven't seen them. I've seen the videos.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Videos are wild.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
The videos are crazy, and that's why I was trying
to go find them to like do the videos too.
And I saw they had like the no Kings protests
and it was like hundreds of thousands of people in Chicago,
Like people were holding them up my sign like saying
like they said, arrest.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Me daddy with a picture of me on it. Fire.

Speaker 2 (31:40):

tour's over, you're going back home or where you going? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Well, I'm here for a week.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Hanging out in LA getting Elisha done.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, meetings, and then I got a booking I gotta
do Saturday, a college party, and then I got another
show in DC, and then I have a show back
here November sixteenth, and then I was a show in
Chicago December.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Staying busy Yeah busy.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah. Do you feel like you having the word killer
in your name is like a little uh? Is it
good or bad?

Speaker 3 (32:15):
I used to overthink it, like I used to, like,
cause back before this whole TikTok shit, I used to
have meetings with labels and they would be like, that's
not very marketable.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well, I mean ghost Face Killer is you know, one
of the ghats.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's why I was.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I was like, it's gonna be marketable for me, like
and I mean I showed how it could be marketable
because now I'm like the most viewed person on the internet.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Did you ever think about like just just being just
a damn? Yeah? Yeah I did that.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
I actually did that for a second, like during COVID,
and then it didn't do too well because I didn't
get all my shit like switched over.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I like started. That's the hardest shit ever for people
who don't know. If you're ever an artist and you
have a lot of music out and you're trying to
change in your fucking name, yeah, getting your ship like
the Apple profile and all that ship is the biggest
headache ever. It was a lot.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
I didn't feel like doing anything, and I put out
a tape under a damn and it did not that good.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
But is that still on its own profile?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
It's called designer closing money loads under just a damn.
It's like on Spotify, Apple Music.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Who do you do your distro through? You just doing
like distro kid or to that one I did. In general,
I have been doing tune did a ditto nice. I'm
all about hearing about new distros because I feel like
a distro kid and tune Core kind of got its
fucking locked up.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, but distro kid, they I hate them.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
I'm not gonna lie. You know what they did though,
because I heard I do hear that they're very shitty
in terms of like the rate that they give you
on your streams and there they do a lot of
other whole ship. But what they did do that made
people want to fuck with them is you're able to
cut in producers and ship them the split ship whatever
your court does. Now, you could do it. They were

(34:02):
dis jo k was the first to do it, but
they're the first to do it. You could do it.
People were like, yo, man, because you know how difficult
it is to deal with producers and yeah, like, hey,
I'm gonna just get throw you cut what your dis
kid email?

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah yeah, And now tune Core now does it. But yeah,
dis jow K was first. I was using them, and
then they deleted four years of my catalog.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Oh that's some whole ship. And then they don't have
anybody even get ahold of no, unless now, I could
definitely get a home. Yeah, unless you're like super lit. Yeah,
they give you like a representative, but otherwise you're like
a lot of independent artists. Ship was getting deleted off
distroc Kid.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
That's what I'm saying because now like Tune Corps, I
know everybody like distroke Kid, I could definitely have a
rep now, But like back then, when I was like
a smaller artist that people didn't know as much, they
treated me terribly, Like they deleted four years of my catalog.
I'll never work with distoke Kid. I don't I low key,
I don't care how much money give me. That's a
big ship because they deleted four years of my catalog.

(34:56):
And then it was when I had to ship a
little uzzy and then it was like his fans like
spam reporting my shit, and the email was like a
spam email. I'm like, this clearly is not a real email.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Oh so essentially, because I know they'll do that, like
if you have a song with like a major artist,
they're like damn near, like you need to somehow prove
to them that you have the clearance otherwise like they'll
take your shit off.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, but it was just other songs not even related
to him, Like his fans were like mad at me,
and they were like reporting all my shit, and then
they were like the only reason, the only way we're
gonna put up this music again is if you take
this random email to Court Improved to us.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
That this is their song. And Johanne got time for that.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, and that was four years of my catalog.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
So then after that, I took a year off from
music because that shit just pissed me off so much.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
What did you did you did you have a like
like go through something with the oozy thing? Yeah, like
I can't.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I was trying to get it cleared and then DJ
Drammer then wanting like fifty thousand to clear, and I
was like, I'm an independent artist.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Can y'all do?

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Like I didn't even try to get them to do
it for free. I was like, can y'all do like
twenty thousand, ten thousand? They were like no, So I
was like, all right, I already spent like a good
amount on the song as an independent artist. And then
I was like, okay, let me go try to get
a deal for it, like a single deal.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, because if you get a single deal, you can Yeah,
and then.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
I found a company that was gonna do it, but
they wanted a video to go with it, and that's
more money, more money, but they were gonna pay for it.
So I was like hitting them up trying to get
Uzi to do it. He wasn't responding. Deal came off
the table.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
So songs that out, what's on YouTube? I'm assuming somewhere.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
It's out, just it doesn't have his name on it,
called Cheerio. But yeah, that shit pissed me off for
like a little minute.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
So I stopped doing music for a year.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Damn that shit like three off off the.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, cause it was like my kid was like four weeks,
so four years my catalog got deleted.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
They offered me like two hundred thousand for.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
The song if I would have got a video done
to change your life Yeah at that point, yeah for sure.
And then it didn't happen. And then I started doing
like uber eats and shoot, so uber eats Grind's real.
They ever do the ye the instacart where you go
shopping for people.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
No, but I did that same thing on uber eatst though,
because they do that on ober eats too. How long
did you do aubrets like two years, like I did
Uber eats hand like regular Uber and like lift.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I've always thought about, like just for fun, driving Uber
just to like but like like document it, like vlog it.
That would be great content. But that shit was terrible.
The funniest, low key kind of dangerous. The worst shit
ever is when I get into an Uber and like
the drivers a rapper and knows who I am. Yeah,
and then the whole time they're just playing their ship

(37:46):
and I'm just like, yeah, yeah, man, I feel like
keep going dog now because most people like like would
you play your own ship? When people would get in
the car, I was picking up fans, they is such
a good song. I would pick up fans and they
would be like, why the fuck are you driving Uber?
And I'll do what you do? You got a kid?
I got a kid. Yeah. And then capa donna from

(38:06):
the Wu Tang clan was driving taxis in New York
for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Yeah that's what I'm saying. I was like, I got
a kid. You know, the shit ain't paying right now,
so I'm doing this.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
When did the for you, like the money change where
you were able to be like, oh shit, this is
like working and I am financially stable now where I
can do what I want.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
It was low key, like because that was my first
job I ever had, So I was like living off
music since twenty sixteen until coach.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Just what about this recent wave where you have caught
this like virality and been able to monetize it.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Yeah, recently.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
So I was doing Uber and shit, and then one day,
I remember, I worked twelve hours and then I made
like one hundred and seventy dollars damn. And then I
had to pay for gas and I had I had
a Mercedes truck, so I.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Spent very insufficient.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah that's what I'm saying because I bought the car
and wasn't doing Uber and then I had to do it.
And then I spent like one hundred and twenty on gas,
and I was like, I made I profited fifty dollars
off twelve hours, and I was like, bro, I could
do anything and make fifty dollars literally anything.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
I was like, I'm like, what am I doing?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
And I just quit And then it was literally it
was my decision because I feel like you feel like
you have to do certain things because you think you
have to do it. I feel like you could do
whatever you want to do, and I feel like that
was like what I thought I had to do at
that moment, and then I decided it wasn't what I
had to do, and then after that my life changed.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
We'll shait congrats on everything, man, Crazy Journey a new
single coming out in November. Yeah, I'm Up. It's called
I'm Up. That's gonna be the next one generation. Run

people to just pull up, you get all these peop
going to buy a fucking ticket. I'm about to do

Speaker 3 (40:04):

You went to the minor league.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
I probably could have. I played on the USA team
when I was younger.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Oh that's fire. You were serious with the baseball. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
I had some workouts with the the through Kansas City
Royals and the Texas Rangers.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I mean, baseball's the one sport where there's no salary cap.
So if you can make it, they gonna pay the
fuck out of you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
No, shout out Kevin co He's one of my old coaches.
He's like he's like an MLB scout. He posted me
yet two days ago he used to work for the
White Side, so I don't know who he works for now.

good at baseball too, and that's coming from like an
MLB scout.

you a white Sox or Cubs fan? White so White Sox?
Weren't they good this year? No, they're horrible. The Cubs
were good. They were in the playoffs. Right, weren't the
Cubs in the playoffs? Yeah? I feel like recently the
coach Sam what was Ryan Sandberg, the guy who died

(43:41):
legendary cub.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
I played with somebody on the coast to Ed Howard.
But I think he got injured and got Sam back down.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
I think Sammy Sosa, Yeah, Sammy Frank big hurt Thomas.
He played for the White I know that. I'm just
throwing out Chicago players here. What was the other that's
the only white Sox player I know. Michael Jordan was
on the White Sox. Yeah he was. I'm a Michael
Jordan white size jersey. That's fire.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
I got it as a kid.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
And you don't have a fucking Derrick Rose white Sox jersey,
do you?

Speaker 2 (44:08):
No?

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Now, you're right? I mean you got me on that one.
I'm not me personally. I'm a Michael Jordan fan.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
I was just thought the younger who's better, Michael or Lebron?

Speaker 3 (44:19):
I mean Michael Jordan, Like I feel I don't, but
it's debatable because it's like it is it master debatable
because Lebron low.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Ki at this age to be that dominant saying. I
feel like if you compare, like, like what Lebron's doing
is like like no one's done it.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
At his age.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Yeah, and for this long, like at his age and
still being one of the top players in the NBA,
that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yeah, And like you know that Wizard's ear was was
sneaky solid for Jordan, Yeah, but May the All Star
team almost pushed him into the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
But Lebron isn't sneaky. It's like highlights every game, like
he's like That's why I think.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I think Lebron like we've never seen And I also
think Lebron's level of competition is a lot higher. Yeah,
I could agree.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
That's the same thing they say about baseball too, like
Babe Brew versus like Show Hal tany Oh, yeah, Show
he is a fucking we never seen anybody like Show
Hal Tony Listen.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
I don't like baseball because I just think it's an
old fucking sport that is boring as shit. But the
fact this dude through six shutout endings, ten strikeouts and
hit three huree game three for three, it's not even
people doing that in high school. You know how hard insane?

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Do you know how hard it is to even do
that in high school?

Speaker 1 (45:30):
But that's insane to do.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
That in high school or to do that in college,
but to do that even like, it's hard to do
that in travel ball when you're like thirteen.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, I'm from Arizona, so like I'm a default just
Diamondbacks fan when they're good. Yeah, you know, we got
Corbyn Carroll and what's the other dude, Martel Martin. But
who they used to have? It wasn't like Adam Dunn
or something. I don't know. We had fucking Randy Johnson.
Who was he?

Speaker 2 (45:58):
He was on a different team too. At some point,
I'm thinking somebody else.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
But but I fuck with the Dodgers with this, with
the with the fucking yo. I just went to Japan
and I was like, Yo, Tani was everywhere in Japan.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
I mean, he's like, you want to say Michael Jordan,
Like he's like Michael Jordan and baseball right now for sure,
Like probably he's gonna be bigger than Michael Jordans.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
I don't know if that's true in baseball. I don't
know if that's true.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Nobody to compare what he just did people, people are
not doing that. As a thirteen year.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Old, I get it, like I get it, But to
do that, you tell me when Otani got motherfucker's running
around with oy seven's on they do. It's New Balances.
Nobody wearing no fucking New Balance.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
The New Balance cleats anybody else playing baseball. They're getting
the show. Heyltani and whatever he's wearing.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Like I'm saying, people were wearing the Ken Griffy Junior
nikes with their normally.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Outside the turf shoes.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah, they got to put some Otani kicks out that
people could wear. When they do it, no, because they're
gonna just be like like people who wear Steph Curry's
fucking under armour shoes. You're be like, what the fuck
are we doing here? How the fuck would he sign
with New Balance?

Speaker 2 (47:07):
I feel it, But the seven hundred million that they
offered him.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
They already made back in one year. I saw Look,
I get it, Michael Jordan, Tokyo, Otani's fucking country. They
got a Tokyo twenty three store that's gigantic. It's literally
a one of one Jordan's store. It's only in Tokyo,
and they have their own line of clothes. In Otani's country,
they don't have a fucking Otani fucking store there.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
But he's new.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
They will. Maybe they are, I'm telling it. They are, like,
it's nobody's gonna be bigger than Jordan.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Well he just did that one game. You're probably we're
never gonna see that in our lifetime. I don't think
he might do it again. It less it's him, That's
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Yeah, who else is good at baseball?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Because since.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Who always plays for shitty teams? Is? What's the fucking uh?
Is it the Trout? Mike Trail? What's the other guy?
But Trout's the guy who like was on the Angels.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Right, Yeah, Mike Trail is good.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yeah, but like he never plays for any good teams.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah it happens sometimes.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
I mean it happened with Tony he was on the Angels. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying, but what he's doing is like
you see it, you're an expert in baseball, not me.
I mean maybe in baseball. You're right, But he's not
gonna be bigger than Jordan. That's funny.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Look, the only person they're comparing him to is Babe
Ruth and who's not bigger than Jordan. And do you
see how long ago that was? But he's not bigger
than But that's the last time they saw anything like
the out there.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
But I'm Baby Ruth solid. He was playing against.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Construction workers, plumbers, Babe Ruth And this is the last
time somebody has I agree when it comes tos to
what he's doing, he's going to be that guy.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
That's what that's like over a hundred years ago.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
He won't be he won't be bigger than Michael Jordan's
in baseball. And of course Michael Jordan only played for
the Barons and the and the He actually played for
the Phoenix, uh Firebirds for a little bit and the
scott Stale Scorpions.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Who Michael Jordan. H oh yeah, So you're like a
deep Michael Jordan fan because those are like was it
like single a, Well, I'm from Arizona, so I remember
that independent ball it was single sing Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
I remember we went to try to as a kid,
we try to like pull up and try to get
some ships autographed. Yeah, now I feel it. But in
like in terms of anybody that watches baseball, No, he's
gonna be the biggest ever on that. But baseball, yeah,
I don't think we're ever going to see any Baseball
is not that par like like baseball as a sport,

(49:39):
it's kind of cooked. It profited more than the NBA
last year. Yeah, but it's like it's still baseball. Yeah.
Have you been to a baseball game recently?

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I haven't exactly.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Let me at you something random, random Saturday night. You
can go watch the Bulls play the Warriors, or you
can watch the White Sox play the Cincinnati Reds. Which
f tickets are you're taking.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
I mean, if I'm going by myself, I might go
play baseball. But if you're taking somebody, they're not gonna
want to watch baseball.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Nobody wants to watch base unless you played it. I'll
agree on that. Yeah, Baseball's it's just so long and
there's one hundred and sixty.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
I went to the World Series when they won in
two thousand and five the White Sox.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
That's tight. I've never been to a World Series game.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Yeah, season tickets. They seen you the the.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
World Series tickets every year. I didn't even know. Yeah,
you shot to the White Sox. I forgot. They won
a World Series two thousand and five. Jermain Die Diamondbacks.
He was the MVP.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Jermaine Die. Yeah, wy yur rebay Ti Hido Gucci.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
No Japanese dudes could fucking play baseball though.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah, I remember Tai Gucci because we had Ichiro Suzuki goat.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I bought a Tokyo Giants hat each year.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Let's talk about each year.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
I saw I'm taking baden practice when they played the
White Sox and he was hitting only home runs a
whole bat in practice.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Damn Mariners, right, Yeah, she's got their heart broken yesterday.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
Doesn't even coach for them now? Probably no Eachi bro
I saw him in a uniform like coaching. I think
he's like a hidden coacher.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Okay, let's leave this interview with one question. Should steroids
be allowed in baseball? So are we talking in terms
of entertainment or like peer like? Just like obviously they
should be allowed in baseball so people will watch again.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Yeah, I mean to make it entertaining. That will make
it very entertaining.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Do you remember how big Barry Bond's head used to be?

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Yeah, but think about it. So okay, yeah, let's talk
about Barry Bonds. Yes, he should be in the Hall
of Fame. Of course, Barry Bonds to do what he did,
even on steroids, steroid shit, he still would be good.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
He was.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
He was hitting forty home runs. He was like fortyfore steroids,
the Pirates.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Like, and he was like skinny, and he had like
a normal size head. He was still amazing.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
You're not You could give somebody steroids, they're not going
to be as good as Barry Bonds.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I agree, nobody you give him steroids. I don't know
what he would be doing. I just remember as a
kid caring about Mark maguire and Sammy Sosa.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Yeah that's because like those turn like pop flies to
home runs. So if they were him, like seventy home
runs a year.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Right, well listen man, Yeah, good baseball talk. Yeah, with
somebody who doesn't watch baseball, it is what it is.
