scrat out of the gate. Man. We're gonna look right into your soul
and then we'll back it up alittle bit. But you mentioned, or
(05:53):
I think I heard I read somewherethat lost came to life after losing your
adding your sister. How has facingsuch intense lost change your perspective on life
and your artistry for world? Itcame off this magnam on life or like
(06:14):
a hundred percent because before I wasn'teven coming like I cared about life,
Like I was just this game wildand then the sad in year through the
years, and then looking at peopleand then this happened that going through it
and not be there then aar youknow, IM see them going nothing.
(06:35):
Then it just all like something thatI have to all deal with. Pluses
saying that I'm sitting on can beend of the facility and I'm in type
of feeling I feel you, yes, sir, I don't think people might
understand my pain, but don't meanit my bother don't, yes, sir.
(06:59):
So man, uh, let's backit up a little bit. Before
we get into the why you domusic and how you do your music,
we want to know about the whothat's doing this awesome music. So man,
give it to a straight. Howdid you discover your passion for creative
music? When I was younger,like that was something like I'll lighten it
(07:23):
like on to the studio, likewith my uncle and stuff like that.
But then it was just like asI got older, it wasn't like it
was like as I was going itwas like what am I going to be
talking about? I never really livedfor nothing, Like I'm so young,
I'm a kid. But then asI got older, this wasn't and to
me no more like I just gotinto the straight even though the people I
(07:46):
live in around was like telling meto like do dude and stuff, it
just wasn't for me. And thenI found it. I'll find my note
back in jail. And then asI'm saying there on the twenty six years
and I'm just conferre like what amI good at? And the only thing
that came back together, I justdon't like it. And then I just
don't keeping the lighting right. Thenthat's what I figure that. That's what
(08:09):
is that? Yes, sir,So you do you do you really discover
the passion, the writing part,putting things together and in jail? Are
in prison? Yeah? You neverreally had a chance to fully explore that
when you were out. It's notmoving though, is it? Because really
(08:31):
rap music doesn't pay in the beginning. You know, when you're building your
career, man, you know howit is, it doesn't pay. You're
you're spending more money than your Yeah. Word, that's really hard. Go
like the different now though from allthey back in the day, though,
(08:52):
what's different for you now? Howhow is it easier then some money to
get into now parking? All themthat they come up, they had to
do them, not to get out. Yeah, And you know what,
man, you just raise interest pointis it isn't that hard to come up.
But I also see a lot ofcharacters being created, and I begin
(09:16):
to question authenticity. How do youfeel about that? I feel that though,
like everybody did their own person.But I think everybody's just gonna go
off on higher the social media presentedlike they just go on to close,
like they feel like that to trendright now that they absolutely But man,
(09:41):
you're putting out dope music from behindbars. No one else has any excuses.
Yeah, let's talk about your trackLoss. It dives into personal loss
and pain. What made you decideto share something so intimate with the world.
Yeah, and man, Low,that's like then, I can't even
(10:03):
like this was a lot of emotionsgoing through me at the moment I'm making
that, and I'm still still goingthrough it at the time it said,
that's why I'm still in the mixand making more songs just like Lost.
Yeah, what does it dude foryou when you listen back to the song.
(10:24):
When I listened back to that song, it takes me a little minute
just to get past the hook.Man. Yeah, you're still feeling because
I know that it's not even justme going through this situation. There's millions
of us like this. Yeah,at some point you cave to screet life
(10:50):
and ended up incarcerated. You mentioned, you know, finding the things you
were good at. How long didit take you to figure out music?
Where's your thing to get back to? I've been locked up for these charges
(11:11):
