thirteen songs on here.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Let's talk about how we got there? Man? What made
y'all want to do part two? Man?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I mean me, I mean we just always like, I
feel like the energy that the first movie brought. I
feel like that energy was just like needed, especially during
this time and especially during the summertime. And you know,
it was just something me and John always talked about.
But I feel like no other time is better than
like right now.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Absolutely, So you know, we just we put it together.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
We went out to Vegas for like a week, and
we just like pretty much like recorded pretty much most
of it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Y'all did all the album in a week?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, like pretty much.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, like beats and all this stuff, like pretty much,
like I mean, like a good portion of good chunk
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Was done in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But like there was like other stuff that we just
like had but a good portion of it for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So how do you plow for one, You're rapping on it,
and I've seen that it was basically fully produced by you,
with the exception I seen Nick Knack was on there.
You got a few other people that helped out and stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Like Nick Knack was actually one of the one of
the ones that like even pushed me to even really
do it, do the whole project. With John two, like
he like it was one night because he got a
studio like down the hall from me, and one night
he was just kind of you know he was he
was like a little loose off.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, he was a yeah, and he was just like,
br you gotta do the you gotta do you gotta
do movie too with cool John Like he kind of
like he kind of like pressed me, and I was like, yeah,
you're right, bro, Like shout.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Out Nick Knack man, let us find out putting.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
This equal together for us, you understand me.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I ain't gonna lie. Y'all both got stuff going on, respectfully,
you know what I'm saying. Besides just the equal to albums,
you just dropped the album I seen you toring you
with all kinds of celebrities all the ship. You got
your own stuff going on. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What made y'all or not even what made y'all do it?
You told me what made you do it? What was
what was it like making this project? I guess is
what I want to say. What was it? What was
the vibes? Like you say it took a week to do?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Like is that you making the beasts and you thinking
of the hooks at the time he making the beasts?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Like what's your process? Like you know, to go through it?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
It's like as collaboration like shit, like you know, up
a beat and we just started putting our minds together.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You feel me and living up with it, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Like how y'all be trading foes like that? Like I
can use the tiptoe, Like y'all was going crazy over there,
like he says something you just come in, Like how
y'all feed off here?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Like it's that chemistry when we get in the stool,
it just comes natural.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do you feel like y'all y'all chemistry is the best
at out of the whole crew. Like when I think
of the whole cross in HBK type shit. You know
what I'm saying, Like like because it's magic, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I feel like when we do a lot of stuff together,
it just it just it just just do numbers, you
feel mean. But I feel like I work with everybody
the same, Like we all got good chemistry and make music.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But when we just make stuff with just turn up.
So it's like, why not.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
What separates this project from any other projects that y'all done?
You know what I'm saying, Like, why is this the
equal to the one? Everybody needs to get behind it
and slap?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I mean, I just think it's like, uh, it's just
like you know, it's us like as grown as people,
and it's our best version of like ourselves right now
like in the moment, you know what I'm saying, And
that's what we want to share with everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So man, I'm just happy.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You know, we really got to get our full idea
out with everything, with all the skits and all like
all the all the stuff that we shot, like it
was like our full idea. We got to really just
like express ourselves, you know, most importantly, so who coming.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Out with them ideas? Because the skins. Y'all got is
hell of funny I've seen with a Friday skit. I
won't want to say Back to the Future or something
like that, but I've been watching y'all been doing little
movie skits.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Who's smoking the weed? That got y'all like we need
to do this skit? I mean both like everything, Like.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's putting our minds together, in two minds, you know
what I'm saying, it's greater than one. Yeah, straight up,
its working and putting our ideas together and make it magic.
Like just throwing stuff at the walk, just trying to
be creative, trying to push the envelope, trying to do
something different.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Let's talk about that doing something different, because that was
definitely different. I've never seen nobody do an album roll
out using movies and doing skits and stuff like that.
I mean I have don't tell me if somebody else
did it, we're gonna say y'all did it first. That's
what we're gonna run with that.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
You know, they always do everything. Yeah, but hey, but
like I feel like it's just like that's just trying
to just be creative and push the envelope. And you
know what I'm saying, trying to take it up a
notch and yeah, you know what I said, the standard.
You know what I'm saying, do something different.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Off top, like just yeah, like I think that's I
think that's what every like approach that I feel like
we try to do or I feel like that's the
approach of any what anybody should do that that's like
creating or like doing something. It's like you should try
to do something that like no one is doing because
like that there's too many people doing stuff that just
everyone everyone's doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
So it's like whoa what you.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Know absolutely makes different? Do you guys do either one
of you guys? You go first? Cool? John?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Do you guys have a favorite off the project?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean, like I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't really have favorites, Like I just like Kamar,
like you fe me all of them be my favorites.
But I guess, like I mean, like in my in
my mind, it gotta be like a song that like
I enjoyed recording that one, Like I ain't gonna lie
like that one.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We have fun on that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, I'm sure you have fun the whole album, right,
but it gotta be one out like I ain't gonna lie.
It might not even be the single, but I enjoy
we had I remember that night, it was lit, we
was young whatever.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I mean, Like I guess like shit like Tiptoe, Mighty Grass,
you feel me? Really all of them would really be
the same energy all the songs. Like I just let
the people choose what they what they want with the hottest,
you know, but I'd be having the same type of
energy every song.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I mean, I mean, yeah, it's like it's it's like, uh,
it's kind of hard to choose a favorite one because
it's like like the songs. I feel like songs are
like like kids and you like, you know, you don't
you don't necessarily like as a parent, you don't just.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Say every parent got a favorite. They ain't gonna say.
They ain't gonna say it.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
But it's like that, yeah, like me having three kids,
I don't got no favorite.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You don't. I know what I tell my mama all
the time. I know my brother your favorite. You don't
got to tell me when they already act right and
listen to the most.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's like that's what the one who's gonna you know,
get the most privileges and stuff. If you're doing what
I tell you to do, Like I don't got I
don't know, I never seen that like you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I mean, I can't pick my favorite kid. I don't
know smart and.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Is gonna get a whoop the most the privileges, I
don't know, like like whatever, y'all, whatever the fans pick,
is the favorite, that's my favorite for.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Surely, absolutely absolutely. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Uh, let's see how your relationship with y'all with the
rest of the group. You know what I'm say, And
I've seen cool not col John. Obviously, I've seen Sue
made the album. I didn't see Sage some of the
other HBK members of your relationship, Like is y'all solid,
y'all still.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Or yea off top We were just for Sage in
the studio the other day.
Speaker 5 (08:13):

just like whoever's in the moment at the time, Like
whoever's in the studio was pretty much.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Everybody busy a ship, Yeah, everybody ship.
Speaker 5 (08:21):

his own, on his own bit oh yeah okay, and

Speaker 2 (11:11):
And you said all the boots Yeah, come on bre now, Cooljohn.
I've seen in a in a previous interview with you, bro,
you you spoke on you know, being shot multiple times
and what that situation was like for you and stuff
moving past being shot. How have you learned to maneuver
and you know, to make sure that you you you
rocking the right way and you're not slipping and people
(11:33):
not following you and stuff.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Like that just really just moving sharper away Sharper. You know,
you know, just watching my back more making making every
step of strategic, not just being accessible as I used
to be, you know, making it just really I'm just
and not thinking like it can't happen to me.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm cool, John, you know who gonna do this?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Let me He's moving smarter and just watching where I'm
going and just being more strategic on high move, you know,
protecting myself too, and just like you know, just not
going certain places.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You know it's in a certain time and night. It's
really just just correcting how I move. You know I
was moving.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I feel like I was just moving kind of a
little sloppy, you know what I mean, just thinking that
nothing can happen to me.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Because you don't bother nobody. You know what I'm saying,
that I don't bother you leave me along type shit.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
But I'm not funking with nobody politics and nothing like that.
Just get my money, my fun, taking care of my kids, man,
my business. But you know, the last last thing you
should be thinking is that it can't never happen to you,
you know what I mean. So once you get out
of that mindset, you know, you just move. Sharper and
everything like that.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Any advice either one of you good brothers could give
to up and coming artists around the Bay you know, uh,
what's the right way to move or or you know,
not like that, but you know in the industry, you know,
or make sure you're putting out albums instead of songs,
or make sure you' putting our singles instead of albums,
or you know, any advice.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
My thing is just like, really, just stay consistent, just
keep working, just keep producing whatever perfect your craft they
got the people being there, people people being there, who
with you, who with you? You a solid team around you,
and stay consistent, keep working no matter what you're going through.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Just stay consistent.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And man, oh man, especially if you're in the music business,
you know, and trying to create and all the stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Like, man, the.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Music is always gonna be the number one, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
If you always focus on that and put, you know,
put the right energy towards that, you're gonna you're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What's your favorite parts of being rappers? The freedom?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, me, the freedom to live my life on my
own court, you know what I'm saying, make my own schedule,
you know what I mean. Really, that's the best part
you know, and of course the money you feel me,
but you know I could come with anything, anything you're
doing with me. I feel like it's more freedom and
you get to do something that's easy, easy when it's
easy for me, Like for me it's easy. So it's like,
(13:53):
you know, why not get paid to do something that's.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Easy, make good money right right?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
You get to set your schedule up however you to,
you know what I'm saying, depending on success. You know,
you get to you know you can move up on
your time. You can, you can't, you know what I mean.
It's just the freedom that comes behind it. You know,
people don't know how value that is. Valuable, that is
to wake up and do what you want to do,
you know what I mean. And I got to come
to the radio station at a certain time. I feel
(14:19):
I'm about to start hating on y'all. Feel like everybody
in here gotta work. I feel like you.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I love this ship. I ain't gonna lie for show
for show, I do. I bet you.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I'm pretty sure you like this more than mopping flows
move the boxes and breaking your back.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Let me tell you something cool, John.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
When I was first trying to get in the building,
I had that mentality. Man, I'd be the janitor man,
just because once I'm in I know me once. Just
put me in the room, I do the I don't
need you to speak for me. I'm just put me
in there. I'll be I'll make it work.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
So uh, I was trying to intern here too. That
was my goal to be exactly what you're doing right now.
I swear to god intern and I got the internship.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But what year was this? I can't even care for
like three days, like four days? You actually showed up.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yes, I actually showed up. I think who else was
there around that time?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Was it?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I think I can't even remember. I gotta really think
about it. But our intern here got the internship.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Everything. As soon as I got the internship, the music
started playing.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
On the radio like I wanted to be like a
radio host, like wow that stuff. And you know, I'm like,
I'm going I'll be the janitor. Do put me in there.
I work my way up, yes, sir, for real.
Speaker 2 (15:34):

i'd be doing this, that's crazy. I swear a guy,
and that's how things happened for people though. That's crazy, like, yeah,
he I never thought I would be rapping. Look at
you exactly. That's hell of funny. Peolo, don't tell me
you was gonna work here too.
Speaker 1 (15:49):

But like I said, like you know what, I'm what
I think about for my life, the skill of life
is just like this is only the tip of the iceberg,
so it's more work to be done for I feel
like I could consider it because what I consider a legend,
they did way more than you know what I'm saying
what I've done, so I'm doing what they're doing. That's
when I feel it for myself. But I definitely appreciate
like all the love and like the impact that have
(19:02):
been put onto the fans and stuff like that.

thirteen songs on here.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Let's talk about how we got there? Man? What made
y'all want to do part two? Man?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I mean me, I mean we just always like, I
feel like the energy that the first movie brought. I
feel like that energy was just like needed, especially during
this time and especially during the summertime. And you know,
it was just something me and John always talked about.
But I feel like no other time is better than
like right now.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Absolutely, So you know, we just we put it together.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
We went out to Vegas for like a week, and
we just like pretty much like recorded pretty much most
of it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Y'all did all the album in a week?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, like pretty much.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, like beats and all this stuff, like pretty much,
like I mean, like a good portion of good chunk
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Was done in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But like there was like other stuff that we just
like had but a good portion of it for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So how do you plow for one, You're rapping on it,
and I've seen that it was basically fully produced by you,
with the exception I seen Nick Knack was on there.
You got a few other people that helped out and stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Like Nick Knack was actually one of the one of
the ones that like even pushed me to even really
do it, do the whole project. With John two, like
he like it was one night because he got a
studio like down the hall from me, and one night
he was just kind of you know he was he
was like a little loose off.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, he was a yeah, and he was just like,
br you gotta do the you gotta do you gotta
do movie too with cool John Like he kind of
like he kind of like pressed me, and I was like, yeah,
you're right, bro, Like shout.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Out Nick Knack man, let us find out putting.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
This equal together for us, you understand me.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I ain't gonna lie. Y'all both got stuff going on, respectfully,
you know what I'm saying. Besides just the equal to albums,
you just dropped the album I seen you toring you
with all kinds of celebrities all the ship. You got
your own stuff going on. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What made y'all or not even what made y'all do it?
You told me what made you do it? What was
what was it like making this project? I guess is
what I want to say. What was it? What was
the vibes? Like you say it took a week to do?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Like is that you making the beasts and you thinking
of the hooks at the time he making the beasts?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Like what's your process? Like you know, to go through it?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
It's like as collaboration like shit, like you know, up
a beat and we just started putting our minds together.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You feel me and living up with it, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Like how y'all be trading foes like that? Like I
can use the tiptoe, Like y'all was going crazy over there,
like he says something you just come in, Like how
y'all feed off here?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Like it's that chemistry when we get in the stool,
it just comes natural.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do you feel like y'all y'all chemistry is the best
at out of the whole crew. Like when I think
of the whole cross in HBK type shit. You know
what I'm saying, Like like because it's magic, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I feel like when we do a lot of stuff together,
it just it just it just just do numbers, you
feel mean. But I feel like I work with everybody
the same, Like we all got good chemistry and make music.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But when we just make stuff with just turn up.
So it's like, why not.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
What separates this project from any other projects that y'all done?
You know what I'm saying, Like, why is this the
equal to the one? Everybody needs to get behind it
and slap?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I mean, I just think it's like, uh, it's just
like you know, it's us like as grown as people,
and it's our best version of like ourselves right now
like in the moment, you know what I'm saying, And
that's what we want to share with everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So man, I'm just happy.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You know, we really got to get our full idea
out with everything, with all the skits and all like
all the all the stuff that we shot, like it
was like our full idea. We got to really just
like express ourselves, you know, most importantly, so who coming.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Out with them ideas? Because the skins. Y'all got is
hell of funny I've seen with a Friday skit. I
won't want to say Back to the Future or something
like that, but I've been watching y'all been doing little
movie skits.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Who's smoking the weed? That got y'all like we need
to do this skit? I mean both like everything, Like.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's putting our minds together, in two minds, you know
what I'm saying, it's greater than one. Yeah, straight up,
its working and putting our ideas together and make it magic.
Like just throwing stuff at the walk, just trying to
be creative, trying to push the envelope, trying to do
something different.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Let's talk about that doing something different, because that was
definitely different. I've never seen nobody do an album roll
out using movies and doing skits and stuff like that.
I mean I have don't tell me if somebody else
did it, we're gonna say y'all did it first. That's
what we're gonna run with that.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
You know, they always do everything. Yeah, but hey, but
like I feel like it's just like that's just trying
to just be creative and push the envelope. And you
know what I'm saying, trying to take it up a
notch and yeah, you know what I said, the standard.
You know what I'm saying, do something different.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Off top, like just yeah, like I think that's I
think that's what every like approach that I feel like
we try to do or I feel like that's the
approach of any what anybody should do that that's like
creating or like doing something. It's like you should try
to do something that like no one is doing because
like that there's too many people doing stuff that just
everyone everyone's doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
So it's like whoa what you.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Know absolutely makes different? Do you guys do either one
of you guys? You go first? Cool? John?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Do you guys have a favorite off the project?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean, like I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't really have favorites, Like I just like Kamar,
like you fe me all of them be my favorites.
But I guess, like I mean, like in my in
my mind, it gotta be like a song that like
I enjoyed recording that one, Like I ain't gonna lie
like that one.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We have fun on that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, I'm sure you have fun the whole album, right,
but it gotta be one out like I ain't gonna lie.
It might not even be the single, but I enjoy
we had I remember that night, it was lit, we
was young whatever.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I mean, Like I guess like shit like Tiptoe, Mighty Grass,
you feel me? Really all of them would really be
the same energy all the songs. Like I just let
the people choose what they what they want with the hottest,
you know, but I'd be having the same type of
energy every song.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I mean, I mean, yeah, it's like it's it's like, uh,
it's kind of hard to choose a favorite one because
it's like like the songs. I feel like songs are
like like kids and you like, you know, you don't
you don't necessarily like as a parent, you don't just.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Say every parent got a favorite. They ain't gonna say.
They ain't gonna say it.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
But it's like that, yeah, like me having three kids,
I don't got no favorite.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You don't. I know what I tell my mama all
the time. I know my brother your favorite. You don't
got to tell me when they already act right and
listen to the most.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's like that's what the one who's gonna you know,
get the most privileges and stuff. If you're doing what
I tell you to do, Like I don't got I
don't know, I never seen that like you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I mean, I can't pick my favorite kid. I don't
know smart and.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Is gonna get a whoop the most the privileges, I
don't know, like like whatever, y'all, whatever the fans pick,
is the favorite, that's my favorite for.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Surely, absolutely absolutely. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Uh, let's see how your relationship with y'all with the
rest of the group. You know what I'm say, And
I've seen cool not col John. Obviously, I've seen Sue
made the album. I didn't see Sage some of the
other HBK members of your relationship, Like is y'all solid,
y'all still.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Or yea off top We were just for Sage in
the studio the other day.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
We just did a song like we all worked together,
just like whoever's in the moment at the time, Like
whoever's in the studio was pretty much.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Everybody busy a ship, Yeah, everybody ship.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
So it's whoever pretty much there while we're creating, probably
gonna be on the project.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, no, like even that the the Sue song, so
like were in Vegas suit happened to be in Vegas
at the same time, he was just out there on
his own, on his own bit oh yeah okay, and
we were like, hey, we in Vegas, like pull up

we're kind of trying to keep it like in the
moment and like just real natural.

You know, let's player.

And you said all the boots Yeah, come on bre now, Cooljohn.
I've seen in a in a previous interview with you, bro,
you you spoke on you know, being shot multiple times
and what that situation was like for you and stuff
moving past being shot. How have you learned to maneuver
and you know, to make sure that you you you
rocking the right way and you're not slipping and people
(11:33):
not following you and stuff.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Like that just really just moving sharper away Sharper. You know,
you know, just watching my back more making making every
step of strategic, not just being accessible as I used
to be, you know, making it just really I'm just
and not thinking like it can't happen to me.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm cool, John, you know who gonna do this?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Let me He's moving smarter and just watching where I'm
going and just being more strategic on high move, you know,
protecting myself too, and just like you know, just not
going certain places.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You know it's in a certain time and night. It's
really just just correcting how I move. You know I
was moving.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I feel like I was just moving kind of a
little sloppy, you know what I mean, just thinking that
nothing can happen to me.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Because you don't bother nobody. You know what I'm saying,
that I don't bother you leave me along type shit.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
But I'm not funking with nobody politics and nothing like that.
Just get my money, my fun, taking care of my kids, man,
my business. But you know, the last last thing you
should be thinking is that it can't never happen to you,
you know what I mean. So once you get out
of that mindset, you know, you just move. Sharper and
everything like that.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Any advice either one of you good brothers could give
to up and coming artists around the Bay you know, uh,
what's the right way to move or or you know,
not like that, but you know in the industry, you know,
or make sure you're putting out albums instead of songs,
or make sure you' putting our singles instead of albums,
or you know, any advice.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
My thing is just like, really, just stay consistent, just
keep working, just keep producing whatever perfect your craft they
got the people being there, people people being there, who
with you, who with you? You a solid team around you,
and stay consistent, keep working no matter what you're going through.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Just stay consistent.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And man, oh man, especially if you're in the music business,
you know, and trying to create and all the stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Like, man, the.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Music is always gonna be the number one, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
If you always focus on that and put, you know,
put the right energy towards that, you're gonna you're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What's your favorite parts of being rappers? The freedom?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, me, the freedom to live my life on my
own court, you know what I'm saying, make my own schedule,
you know what I mean. Really, that's the best part
you know, and of course the money you feel me,
but you know I could come with anything, anything you're
doing with me. I feel like it's more freedom and
you get to do something that's easy, easy when it's
easy for me, Like for me it's easy. So it's like,
(13:53):
you know, why not get paid to do something that's.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Easy, make good money right right?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
You get to set your schedule up however you to,
you know what I'm saying, depending on success. You know,
you get to you know you can move up on
your time. You can, you can't, you know what I mean.
It's just the freedom that comes behind it. You know,
people don't know how value that is. Valuable, that is
to wake up and do what you want to do,
you know what I mean. And I got to come
to the radio station at a certain time. I feel
(14:19):
I'm about to start hating on y'all. Feel like everybody
in here gotta work. I feel like you.

the fans who always tell me that I thank them
for that, you know what I'm saying, my you know,
whatever I contributed to their to their life, whatever like that.
I always get told like I'm a legend and this
and that and all the thing. I'm thankful all this stuff.
I personally feel like I got it. I got more
work to be done. I mean, it's more work to
(17:53):
be done. But I do take it as like a
lot of people say that, you know what I'm saying,
So I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I mean, it's not really up to me to be honest,
Like I just you know, just like John said, like
I feel like I feel like I got so much
like more left to do.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And but yeah, same thing. Like I feel like people
always tell.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Me like, oh, like you're a Bay legend, bro, but

But like I said, like you know what, I'm what
I think about for my life, the skill of life
is just like this is only the tip of the iceberg,
so it's more work to be done for I feel
like I could consider it because what I consider a legend,
they did way more than you know what I'm saying
what I've done, so I'm doing what they're doing. That's
when I feel it for myself. But I definitely appreciate
like all the love and like the impact that have
(19:02):
