But I ain't gonna lie like like I 34 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.120 don't know, I was just the girls would always hit 35 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.359 me with the oh, he's too shy, and I'm like, 36 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.480 I ain't like that. And the thing was, you know 37 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.519 what it was is because when I was younger, I 38 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.319 was always like crazy, like funny, and people would tell 39 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.719 me I'm weird and it made me like afraid to 40 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.840 be myself. Ever since I started being myself, that's when 41 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.840 everyone just started gravit towards and towards me. You know. 42 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.879 So how does that make you feel? Going from that 43 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.760 kind of big transition of at one point when you 44 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.239 being yourself wasn't the cool thing to do, and people 45 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.120 were kind of like making fun of you and all 46 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.319 these things whatever, and now that you are able to 47 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.640 grow into who you really are and now you're bringing 48 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.200 an artist and have one of the top songs, how 49 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.040 does that make you feel? 50 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.680 It makes me feel good. You know. It's crazy, Like 51 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.840 my mindset, it's so different, Like now, it's like I 52 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.359 expected this, but b Jacks from like ten years ago 53 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.599 won't believe that this is who he is now. Growth. 54 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.159 That's awesome though. I feel like I love speaking to 55 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.400 artists that are like up and coming as well, where 56 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.000 it's like where you kind of still obviously know where 57 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.800 you come from and where those tribulations are and what's 58 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.400 kind of made you an artist and how you're into 59 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.039 your craft. What is like some of the first introductions 60 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.919 into music and when did you know that this was 61 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:25.400 your path? 62 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.199 All right? So it's funny like in seventh grade. Well, 63 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.759 first off, it goes way back before that, Like I 64 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.120 was always a music head, Like like you know what 65 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.159 I'm saying, Like when I was in like first, second, 66 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.680 third grade, I was like watching MTV trol all that shit, 67 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.159 you know what I'm saying, And like I would be 68 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.240 on like MTV hits watching with my oldest sister and 69 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.759 then one time the channel flipped the MTV jams and 70 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.919 I remember they were playing like this is why I'm hot, 71 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.439 and I'm like, oh nah, like like you know, and 72 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.319 I already was messing with rap, but that made me 73 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:55.400 mess with even more so. 74 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.400 So did you start doing your own like remixes with 75 00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.120 it or did you just like bop to the music 76 00:02:59.199 --> 00:02:59.919 the beat of it? 77 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.080 I was just watching the videos and I was like, nah, 78 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.560 like I love this, like the lifestyle, like it looks amazing. 79 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.159 And then as like years went by, I just started freestyling, 80 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.240 like when I was like in sixth grade and I 81 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.759 was like, hold on, I'm rhyming. And then seventh grade 82 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.800 I wrote a remix for Where Is the Love by 83 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.599 the Black Eyed Peas and it made sense and I 84 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.000 was just writing like, so. 85 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.719 Did you show that that remix too? Did you show 86 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:25.159 it to anybody? 87 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.360 Do it? One of my math teachers. 88 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.800 Okay, and what did you say about it? 89 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.120 He was like, nah, this is it? 90 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.319 But did you think that it was? 91 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:34.479 Like? 92 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.199 He said that because he was like a teacher like 93 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.800 trying to uplift you or were you really like nah? 94 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.599 He was like nah, this is cool. I knew it 95 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:41.000 was cool. 96 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:42.879 So what did you do with it after that? You 97 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:44.319 just left it at the math teacher. Did you go 98 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:45.680 to the English teacher, the science teacher? 99 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.280 Did you? I don't know. I just left it in 100 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:47.840 my notes? 101 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.960 So can is the public going to be able to 102 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:50.919 hear that song somewhere? 103 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.039 It's not a song. I just wrote the lyrics down 104 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.039 and like said it to him. God, I didn't make 105 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.599 like my record music till like twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen. 106 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.360 So how did that process started where you just tired? 107 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.319 Did you like write your own stuff and just wanted again? 108 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.919 So basically it was like I never knew how, Like 109 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.599 you know, I was in high school. I had no money. 110 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.439 I didn't know how it would even worked to go 111 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.960 to a studio. I had no car. I didn't And 112 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.040 then one day my boy called me when I was 113 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.480 a senior in high school and he's like, yo, my 114 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.160 boy brought a mic to the crib, like he's recording music. 115 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.199 You got pull up. So I pull up and I 116 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.839 record like a song, one take the freestyle. I put 117 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.639 it on SoundCloud ten minutes after, go to school the 118 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.839 next day and everyone knows it and everyone's talking about 119 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.720 it all my teachers and my classmates everyone. It's got 120 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.639 like a thousand, two thousand plays on SoundCloud of a day, 121 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.360 which was ill at the time. You know, it's like, damn, 122 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:45.079 that's dope. 123 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:46.959 For sure. It's one of those things because again, you're 124 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.959 in high school. You don't know what it's really doing. 125 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.040 I'm sure you even just recording it. You didn't think 126 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.959 anybody was going to really listen to it but your 127 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.439 friends and do you know something whatever. But I think 128 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.319 that that's the cool part of what these platforms also 129 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.639 do didn't do and provide for people who don't have 130 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.839 a start, and also give us like a little leg 131 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.120 to like kind of get your edge because now you 132 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.439 see what that does right now you see the thousand 133 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.360 little views and stuff, So it kind of motivates you 134 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.240 a little bit more maybe to go harder to get 135 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.759 to another platform another thing, you know what I mean, 136 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.959 Because you know, when you hear your high school friends, 137 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.879 you that's not always the end all be all, but 138 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.800 when you hear like the masses of more people and 139 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:24.240 you're like, oh, we got something here. 140 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.199 Yeah, it was crazy because like I ain't even like 141 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.120 I wasn't really like public like they knew in my 142 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.319 school that I would rap on some battle rap shit. 143 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.120 But like I didn't post it on Instagram or nothing. 144 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.199 I just put it on SoundCloud and just you know, 145 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.680 it became like a little bit the song was ass too, 146 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.600 but like it was just funny because it was me, 147 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.879 like people already fucked with me, so like it was 148 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.279 just a little anthem from my high school that whole year. 149 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.639 So you say, you come into this whole like new 150 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.160 part of like now really feeling yourself of like you 151 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.319 know who you are, you're worth, You've got like some 152 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.720 people like you know, SoundCloud behind you, people know it 153 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.279 liking your music.

Yeah there's that, 374 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.440 and there's this other song album called Popping My Ship. 375 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.840 Because I was. I was, I was rouled up, I 376 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.480 was mad. You know, certain labels would try it. They 377 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.360 was they was acting funny towards me, you know what 378 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.120 I'm saying. But I'm happy. I didn't even sign that though, 379 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.840 which was good. I'm still not sign independent. Well obviously 380 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.039 I'm signing like cash code bang, But I'm talking about 381 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:55.279 in terms of major labels. 382 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.919 Yeah no, But I think everything happens for a reason, right, 383 00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.840 And then it's something that you talk about energy whatever. 384 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.879 I feel like something. 385 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.679 Sometimes your energy isn't warranted in certain places. But energy 386 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.519 is transferable, so you got to do that what you want. 387 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.080 And the more you speak it into existence, things will happen, 388 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.559 even though you don't know if it's going to happen exactly. 389 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.759 I spoke this into existence, did you hell? Yeah? 390 00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.320 Were you at the same time or were you I 391 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.279 was at an afterthought like the post party, which one. 392 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.159 I don't know, It's just it was just one of 393 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.679 the ones. 394 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:26.840 It was one of the ones. 395 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.480 I was just like, damn, it's just like cause you know, 396 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.600 it's crazy. Lately, it's like so many full circle moments, 397 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.519 like I met I've been meeting a lot of my 398 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.080 favorite rappers, like from growing up hearing them tell me 399 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.080 they fuck with me, but the ain't none of them, 400 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.240 None of them hit like this. 401 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.639
