Now it's just organically 50 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.879 just spreading. It's like it's like a wildfire man shout 51 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.360 out to the wildfires that we all got control of. 52 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:23.879 Eventually it was spreading, like, well, he respectful.

And then it was that mixed in all together. 206 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.840 And then when I got to twelfth grade or not 207 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.080 like eleventh grade, it was another music class and they 208 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.360 was telling me there was like, we allow you to 209 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:25.039 perform in front of all the seniors called senior recognition. 210 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.000 This is high school, the last day of school, and 211 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.279 the auditorium will allow you to perform it.

And 214 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.320 at the time, it was like a jerking era. Everybody's 215 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.039 wearing skinny jeans and rejects was popping jacks. Yeah, but 216 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.080 at the time it was a song that was popping 217 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.799 called Candy. 218 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.679 He forty Oh I love that dance.

I thought I was 228 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.600 the one went crazy. I don't even know if I 229 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.080 could pull up that footage. But back then we only 230 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.840 had like sidekicks and like chirps or it was crazy. 231 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.639 It was crazy that then.

I pulled my hamstring twelfth grade. I pulled 236 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.840 my hamstring on the field and I was out, and 237 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.039 everybody's telling me, giving me the little speech like yeah, 238 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.639 what football don't work. I was like, why, i'm'na cut hair. 239 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.000 So then the whole rest of the year, instead of playing, 240 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.039 I was cutting all the teammates here. I went and 241 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.360 bought some little Cortless clippers. I was cutting there. The 242 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.039 coach was letting me line them up. I was on 243 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.399 at the time. A lot of my teammates, even though 244 00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.080 we was kids, they had face with hair. Like I 245 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.440 was on the on the field with some owens. They 246 00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.639 had face with here. So I'm doing little lineups and 247 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.200 even coach like line me up. So I was like, 248 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.200 all right, when I graduated, I'm going to Barber College. 249 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.240 I pulled my hamstring. I was scared I was gonna 250 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.519 pull it again. I'm like, yeah, I play sports, I 251 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.399 hoop and all that, but I mean, let me go 252 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.320 to Barbara College just so moms don't trip. 253 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.960 I have something to fall back on if it don't work. 254 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:13.840 I went to Barber. 255 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.360 College and get a barbershop right in the barbershop right 256 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.919 after me and man and been going crazy ever since. 257 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.799 You feel I feel like you have so many like 258 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.720 different things that Oh no, I got that. You gotta 259 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.000 have different hats. You gotta have different hats. That's why 260 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.000 I look at this as a business. Even though it's 261 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.679 entertainment and it's fun, it's a job. You feel you 262 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.639 get the job done. You know what I'm saying, those goals, 263 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:34.919 this is. 264 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.399 Like, this is your coming out party here.

So I 271 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.399 don't I'm not mad at it. What I would I 272 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.879 would have probably been mad at it if it was 273 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.759 if it was someone else success that got me where 274 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.480 I'm back, that would have made me mad, like, oh 275 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.440 it was because it is or that, or he went no, 276 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.279 it's cool, go back on my artistry and look at 277 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:01.960 it and be like, damn, we was really sleeping on 278 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:02.320 this guy. 279 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.919 Cool, wake up, wake up, wake up.

And it's all freestyle organic. I don't 360 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.559 write nothing. All these songs y'all mixed in. I don't 361 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.200 write none of it. None of that I can write. Yeah, 362 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.240 I'm in Tellison is a month. I'm not gonna write 363 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.519 for people, but I don't because it's so organic and 364 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.799 the energy there when I hear to beat. Once I 365 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.919 create a concept a topic, I stay on top. Man. 366 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.360 That's a gift. Once you create a hook, the hook 367 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.799 is the song, stay on topic. 368 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.240 Is that why it's just you, maybe an engineer and 369 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.080 one other person in the studio when you're recording. 370 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:38.039 That's exactly why. 371 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.279 Because it's mo organic, I might just need somebody there 372 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.720 to capture the moment or if I got a big feature, 373 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.039 or I know, like it's not hangout time, but we 374 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.000 celebrating that. These verses then came in I'm not really 375 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.039 doing a lot of work. I might bring three four 376 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.919 people mass, but it's never a party. It's like, Nigga, 377 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.399 this is a listening celebration. You feel mean you want 378 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:57.399 to listen and you want to be a. 379 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:57.720 Part of this. 380 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.399 Take some little videos and then when I dropping, you 381 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:01.759 could be like, yeah, I was there when you did that. 382 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.120 That's cool. Other than that, I'll be so. 383 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.039 So everyone has so everyone has to serve a purpose. 384 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.440 Is they're going to be in the studio for sure, 385 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.600 somebody gonna hold the camera, somebody gonna go get the drink, 386 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.399 somebody gonna be able to go get let people in. 387 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.480 So I don't got to stop record. If not, I 388 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.039 don't need nobody there for what for? What I need 389 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.559 you there for? To just be sitting there waiting for 390 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:25.879 me to give you a blunt? That's the best part. 391 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.879 That's if you walking in here, you got a job. 392 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.960 That's what you call a team. It's like you got homies, 393 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.279 you got people, you got family, But what's your team? 394 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.360 Everybody can't be the same. Everybody can't have the same 395 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.519 job title. You can't have the same people around you 396 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.799 and call them the same thing. It's like my family. 397 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.399 This is my family because I'm with my family, from 398 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.559 my team, with my team, and with my people, you 399 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.840 can me. So everybody has a position, from the security 400 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.679 guard to the camera woman or camera guy. It's a 401 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.480
