Speaker 2: might come.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, because it's like it's a it makes
Speaker 1: sense and it don't look like here. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that now we got what's that industry
Speaker 1: plans they're calling people?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that narrative was going around with you me plant
Speaker 3: me right right whatever?
Speaker 1: Whatever plant soil is the plant me and that like
Speaker 1: I don't even about that.
Speaker 2: I hate that ship.
Speaker 3: I hate a plant water.
Speaker 2: I don't I hate that.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, you know, just because you didn't see
Speaker 1: me grow doesn't mean you know what I'm saying, It
Speaker 1: wasn't the work wasn't put in.
Speaker 2: It works like that, but I don't care.
Speaker 1: Like if you call in somebody industry plant, that means
Speaker 1: something working, because some niggas not getting caught.
Speaker 3: Nothing means you on fire, right, It means you're on fire.
Speaker 3: That means everybody noticed.
Speaker 2: It means you're growing.
Speaker 1: It means you're growing. You're growing too fast. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you're growing too fast. So they don't,
Speaker 1: they don't, they don't appreciate it. I don't give a fuck. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I'll be like for show whatever that is, whatever. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is like, once you start creating that momentum.
Speaker 1: And I thought I had momentum because I have a
Speaker 1: lot of viral moments, people think like I've just got
Speaker 1: I've been viral.
Speaker 3: For for years and years and years and years viral crazy.
Speaker 1: But now it turns into from virality to momentum where you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh I can you can.
Speaker 1: It keeps going to where everything I do people tuning in,
Speaker 1: We're like, oh what is this?
Speaker 3: What is this? What is this? So it's kind of
Speaker 3: like that, Yeah, man, Yo, the Good, the Bad, and
Speaker 3: the dollar Menu. Yeah, it's a story. It's a brutal story, man.
Speaker 3: It's honestly real life is sharing the six piece chicken
Speaker 3: nugget with the kids. It's crazy. It's real life. You know,
Speaker 3: dying must be easy because living is hard. That's fucked up. Now.
Speaker 3: That had sleep for dinner. Yeah, that was the most real.
Speaker 2: Shit telling you you ever had?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like that's That's like human music.
Speaker 1: It's like we got a lot of music that people
Speaker 1: put out and they talk about what they got and
Speaker 1: what they could do. Don't get me wrong, once I
Speaker 1: get up there, I probably have a couple of songs
Speaker 1: like that too. But I've like, to my core audience
Speaker 1: and to my famis that's what they want from me,
Speaker 1: where they want me to talk about the real life
Speaker 1: ship that we're going through on of course, of course,
Speaker 1: and when I was going through that ship, I didn't
Speaker 1: have music that was current to actually go listen to
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh damn, I feeling this.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling them.
Speaker 1: When I had a conversation about you, I was talking,
Speaker 1: I didn't have music like that. I didn't have music
Speaker 1: to be like, damn, who can I live to? Who
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with this? I gotta go listen to old
Speaker 1: songs that was made previously because the sounds and the
Speaker 1: topics of music was changing directions, just like right when
Speaker 1: the SoundCloud rappers and all that shit everything took off.
Speaker 1: Not no disrepect to them, but it just changed it
Speaker 1: sounds sonically and what people wanted to hear. Everybody, drug addicts,
Speaker 1: everybody did everybody. I'm like, I don't even do Druss,
Speaker 1: how to fun I'm supposed to do with it? How
Speaker 1: do I make a song about that?
Speaker 2: So it just changed into like.
Speaker 1: A tool to help other people navigate where I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just talk about what I went through rap
Speaker 1: and other people going to be able to relate because
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not the only person going through this.
Speaker 3: So figured out trauma though into a masterpiece.
Speaker 2: Yeah I bottled it up and so did its Coca colas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you really did. But walking around with all
Speaker 3: of that and then be able to translate it so
Speaker 3: vividly into music later on in life, that's a lot
Speaker 3: to hold. That's a lot to carry.
Speaker 2: I think. I'm like, like, what is that?
Speaker 1: Well, just let's shit come up fall off me though,
Speaker 1: I'm not like the person who's like, I take it.
Speaker 1: What's I hate that saying? I take it a day
Speaker 1: at a time, because you can't take it a week
Speaker 1: at a time. You can't take it a month.
Speaker 3: I gotta be a dad.
Speaker 2: How else are you supposed to take it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I take it about five minutes at a time.
Speaker 3: I can crash out at any second. I don't crash
Speaker 3: out at any moment. Bro. I'm barely hanging on my bro.
Speaker 3: But I'm I got my friends here.
Speaker 2: Bro, and we're just waiting for my thirteen threes.
Speaker 3: And to be honest, I don't talk like that.
Speaker 1: Jesus said, Yeah, like my that was dark. But I
Speaker 1: with it no, but like for like, I don't, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't carry that like I carry it.
Speaker 1: But it's like like package somewhere deep.
Speaker 2: It's very deep.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that y'all probably never get
Speaker 1: to see people. Some people never know that because I
Speaker 1: was walking the room. But it's not because I'm asking anything.
Speaker 1: It's just like I know where to I used to
Speaker 1: say a compartment compartmentalize that word too. Compartmentalize it until
Speaker 1: into until its own into its own thing because I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really walk around you walk around me. I'm
Speaker 1: like jokes, laughs all the time, and it's not to
Speaker 1: mask anything. It's just like, bro, I know what it
Speaker 1: is when it gets bad, so.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have a guard up. I just feel like
Speaker 1: it's not you don't. It don't bother me as much
Speaker 1: as like it was normal to me. Then when you
Speaker 1: get out of it's like when you're a kid, when
Speaker 1: you're going through like rough shit, you eating peanut butter.
Speaker 2: Sandwiches and then it turn the syrup sandwiches and then
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Noodles, lights off, all that type of shit. Sleeping on
Speaker 1: the floor. To you, that's normal.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's a normal thing. Until you get older and you'd
Speaker 1: be like help realizing the moment au traumatic it is,
Speaker 1: so you're like, oh, then you unpack it later on.
Speaker 1: But it's like it was normal to me. So I
Speaker 1: ain't complaining about it because I'm here. If I wasn't here,
Speaker 1: then I would have something to complain about. But I'm here,
Speaker 1: and I'll be like, damn, I'm not even worried about
Speaker 1: how much gas costs. And I got cousins who still
Speaker 1: worry about how much gas costs, and they picking, Okay,
Speaker 1: we can't go over here. This's ten cents more than this. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't do that. So when I'm looking, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what am I really ungrateful about?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, you got to put your mindset too. Yo.
Speaker 3: I get to make this album. I get to be
Speaker 3: doing an interviews.
Speaker 2: It's part of the story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, anything that traumatic happened, anybody disrespect me,
Speaker 1: You're going in a fucking song and like, no, no,
Speaker 1: for real, anybody anybody like any type of bad ship
Speaker 1: that happened to me.
Speaker 2: I just put it in music for you. It's part
Speaker 2: of it. It's part of the do it.
Speaker 3: That's the way to do it. That's the way to
Speaker 3: do it. Good for you, man, Flockers. I love the
Speaker 3: way you open the album.
Speaker 1: I love that skit too, where you call an album,
Speaker 1: well not with a song, right, but you call the
Speaker 1: project and album though?
Speaker 2: Was that you called the project and album?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: It's a mixtape.
Speaker 3: It's an album.
Speaker 2: It's a mixtape. We don't how this debate? Oh yeah, debate?
Speaker 3: Yeah. The album The way you did that, bro, and
Speaker 3: those skits took me.
Speaker 1: That's like high quality. What do you think my album
Speaker 1: is going to shout?
Speaker 3: Like? This is an album?
Speaker 2: What do you think sound like?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 2: This is crazy.
Speaker 3: It's an album to me, bro, because it's got these
Speaker 3: skits in it, right, and it's not this truth in it.
Speaker 3: And it kicks off with flockers and it's like, Yo,
Speaker 3: you're thinking about robbing the burger spot and Yo, like
Speaker 3: the way the homie says, dummy, dog, I couldn't get
Speaker 3: that ship, Bro, that's damn down.
Speaker 1: Heel me, yo, he was just like dummy, hey, free

Speaker 3: skits that you got throughout the project, right throughout the
Speaker 3: mixtape album, right throughout his masterpiece. Right, it's brutally on
Speaker 3: his piece. No. I love that, right, Like YO, Like
Speaker 3: creating those skits for a project to kind of narrate
Speaker 3: the project is very important.
Speaker 1: I think I feel like it's a mything art piece
Speaker 1: because I think some people O d on it. They
Speaker 1: like put like two minute skits. Me like, bro, turn
Speaker 1: this off. Can we get to the song already?
Speaker 3: That's not a song, that's a skit, like it don't
Speaker 3: make it two minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, yeah, we don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1: But minds, I feel like the first one is like
Speaker 1: the longest one where you kind of like it just
Speaker 1: sets the tone so you understand like every other piece,
Speaker 1: and then everything else is.
Speaker 2: Like ten fifteen seconds.
Speaker 1: I tried to keep it very short and succinct so
Speaker 1: that you can get to the next song, but you
Speaker 1: still understand where it's navigating, like.
Speaker 2: Good Kid in My City.
Speaker 1: Even then, though they had like some skits on that
Speaker 1: that shit, it's not like a movie. But that was
Speaker 1: at a time where people were able to digest that
Speaker 1: long of skits. I feel like now people are so
Speaker 1: over like they don't want to hear It's like everything
Speaker 1: is quick. I don't want to have an album that's
Speaker 1: like six songs because people don't want to sit down
Speaker 1: and listen to a full body of work. So I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get my fans conditioned to understand that, like
Speaker 1: a full body of work for me is like ten
Speaker 1: songs up, you know what I'm saying. So it's like
Speaker 1: again where we can have three verses on the song
Speaker 1: like Jankie Moore Compass, you know what I'm saying, where
Speaker 1: it's like you can there is good music, it's just
Speaker 1: you don't want to hear three verses of somebody talking
Speaker 1: about killing each other, killing us, drugs, fucking bitches, Like
Speaker 1: you don't want to hear three verses of that. No more,
Speaker 1: people act like they don't want to hear that. So
Speaker 1: it's like what about real life? Like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Somebody said there's a trauma dump, but I'm
Speaker 1: not even whatever whatever whatever.
Speaker 3: I mean it is, I mean, you know you're you're
Speaker 3: dropping off a lot of that trauma, but it's created
Speaker 3: a story and it's created this victory.
Speaker 1: I feel like if you're watch a movie or somebody
Speaker 1: writes a movie and they write a movie where it's
Speaker 1: like precious, is that a trauma dump? No, that's just
Speaker 1: a good fucking movie where side ship going on with
Speaker 1: a story. It's a good story going on. Yeah it is,
Speaker 1: but it's to follow the trauma. I'm like, come on, bro,
Speaker 1: like it's art. This is this is this is how
Speaker 1: we create art. If I make it like this and
Speaker 1: I made this in a movie, you'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, that's a good fucking movie. I love that movie.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they gotta make it. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what trauma dumb. But I didn't know what that was.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what love. Somebody said, what say love vomit?
Speaker 1: I was like, what is that?
Speaker 3: A lot?
Speaker 2: I was like, when you come to somebody and you
Speaker 2: give them gifts and you chat them, I'm like.

Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's men like.
Speaker 2: This really strong. And then you're like, but what if
Speaker 2: short he changed?

Speaker 1: your little attitude because females do that.
Speaker 2: You hide your little attitude, and then.
Speaker 1: You start liking a person, and then the attitude start
Speaker 1: coming out more.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm not buying you that.
Speaker 3: Because there's no consistency with it.
Speaker 2: It's just is like and then done, it didn't do
Speaker 2: it didn't happen because it was love moming. It happened.
Speaker 1: Maybe it could have been something you've done, you just

Speaker 3: why because you know, dude can obviously wrap. We've interviewed
Speaker 3: him before, right, It seemed like a good guy. We
Speaker 3: don't know him personally, right, and I'm sure we'll interview

Speaker 1: when I kicked off. Yeah, That's when I was like.
Speaker 3: Paying attention then, right, But I don't know. I think
Speaker 3: at a certain point it's like, all right, what else
Speaker 3: do we got to say? Like, we can only mention
Speaker 3: top and and and and dot so much. Let's move on.
Speaker 3: We got a project out. I call it an album.
Speaker 3: It's got it's got some crazy ship on it. Let's
Speaker 3: pay attention to that. Yeah, so that's where I was. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I decided to pay attention to the music. That was
Speaker 3: a music though, so and listen, we got bars out
Speaker 3: of it. You know, how do you assess it? How
Speaker 3: do I assess the situation?
Speaker 2: I fuck with it. I feel like it was I know,
Speaker 2: you fucked with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah you had a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm bound wick you know, so I feel like
Speaker 1: I was like it was fun, it was good for
Speaker 1: hip hop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really was, But I think it's I think
Speaker 3: that's it. I think we had a good run. And
Speaker 3: what's what's left?
Speaker 2: What now for who?
Speaker 1: For anyone, for any one of us in that situation
Speaker 1: far as fans, like what now? Oh no, we just
Speaker 1: we just keep rapping, just keep wrapping, keep it moving, rappers,
Speaker 1: we both. It's like it's this good for the coachure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it almost felt like a rap Olympics.
Speaker 1: Yeah you feel me, Yeah, because you had like two
Speaker 1: hundred other people jumping in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was that too. Yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 1: Feel like but I for all, it made everybody focus
Speaker 1: on rap. I feel like that's one time this year
Speaker 1: like where everybody focused on rap.
Speaker 2: It wasn't about like who's clouded up?
Speaker 1: Because you see people who not even who don't even
Speaker 1: have clout, who didn't even have numbers or no type
Speaker 1: of label behind them. They just rapping, just jumping down
Speaker 1: the wheel words and everybody getting reacted to by people
Speaker 1: with millions of subscribers. You get what I'm saying, to
Speaker 1: give them those looks, And I feel like that's what
Speaker 1: hip hop was built on, Like rap battling, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So formula. Yeah, so it's like four yeah,
Speaker 1: it works. So it's like people love as much as
Speaker 1: we like we push for positivity, we love drama and
Speaker 1: it's just real. Like you somebody's flight night, It's no,
Speaker 1: it's just real.
Speaker 2: Somebody.
Speaker 1: If you got a comment full of like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that show is fired, then somebody comment that shit, fuck
Speaker 1: it sucked, you're gonna respond. You're gonna feel more prone
Speaker 1: to respond to that person who said that sucked because
Speaker 1: you're like, who is you talking to?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 1: I go there, type down the time out of your
Speaker 1: shd like you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Turn it like fabricated drama, like that.
Speaker 1: Fabricated is crazy because it was fabricated. It's fabricate. Fabricated.
Speaker 1: Fabricated drama is movies.
Speaker 3: Hm hmmm.
Speaker 1: I feel like all drama gonna get attention because it's
Speaker 1: like we just as humans, what's going on over there?
Speaker 1: Don't let you be a nosey nancy. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: paying attention to every fucking thing moving. So I feel
Speaker 1: like for hip hop, though, everything everything centered around you
Speaker 1: see like Shade Room posting it. You see people who
Speaker 1: who most of their ship is about drama, this, this, this,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have anything to do with rap now,
Speaker 1: but it was built off rap.
Speaker 2: It doesn't.
Speaker 1: We don't get those type of looks from those channels
Speaker 1: or platforms. You don't get those looks for everybody. But
Speaker 1: at that very moment, I feel like everybody was like
Speaker 1: tuned in to hip hop, like, oh, these niggas is rapping,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 2: And we did We didn't. We didn't need it. It's
Speaker 2: not because it's very disposable at time, and it's not
Speaker 2: it's not as big as like Drake and Kendrick.
Speaker 1: Where tears like nah, you know what I'm saying, the
Speaker 1: tears that it's like its own.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, this is like, this is just fun hip.
Speaker 3: Hop, you know what. I was grateful for it too,
Speaker 3: because pop music is on such a run. So when
Speaker 3: there's when there's a rap battle going on or some
Speaker 3: tension or some fun going on, right some some like
Speaker 3: you know, a friendly fade if you have you right, like,
Speaker 3: it brings the attention back to hip hop. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: I do too. That's what That's what the whole moment
Speaker 2: for me in pop.
Speaker 3: Music is having a moment dog and I need it
Speaker 3: back or what it was.
Speaker 1: I feel like we ain't gonna get it back until
Speaker 1: people start rapping. Okay, Like we don't got music. That's
Speaker 1: like moo the love of startists. You heard that you
