[00:01:55] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:01:55] Speaker A: They just be walking. Where do you get your showmanship from? I guess where I wanna start, you.
[00:02:00] Speaker C: Know, I guess just paying attention to other artists and shit like that. And like I say all the time, you know, you know, messing with Keem and them type of niggas, like, they gonna be on you. Like they don't even play that. And then like, even me and Sway, we just made it. Like we kinda like, you know, you know how nigga get fresh and n be like, yeah, I got that shit on like, n hit that stage, like, nah, n. I was really going crazy on that mother. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's a thing like, we make sure we not walk around that motherfucker with a cup on her hand, just Mr. Too Cool. Like, this is not the time for that. These people pay that good money and you know, you want to make remember this shit. For sure.
[00:02:38] Speaker A: You came in the game doing that?
[00:02:40] Speaker C: No, for sure.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: Did you hop in a crowd with your jury?
[00:02:42] Speaker C: Yeah, for sure.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: Do you. Have you ever lost anything?
[00:02:45] Speaker C: Yeah, when I had. That's why I don't got the gauges no more. Oh, I kept losing them. And it was like real diamonds and gold, so it was like six.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: So you say you kept losing them. Like you didn't learn after the first time not to.
[00:02:56] Speaker C: It was little like meticulous shit. Like, the first one was a show and it was ogz fault. Like we had to show bands. Come on. He throw his arm around me and knock it out my ear like, boom. Like, I stayed after the show till they start sweeping that motherfucker. I could not find it like. And then the second time, I used to throw like these crazy parties on my apartment and this girl was playing too much on the balcony. Boop. Out of there.
[00:03:25] Speaker A: Fell off the balcony?
[00:03:26] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: Into what?
[00:03:27] Speaker C: Just the street of downtown. Did you go down there? I did. It was gone. That's what I'm telling you.
It was gone.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: It's a bum right now in downtown LA with a gauge on it in his ear.
[00:03:37] Speaker A: It was gone, bruh.
[00:03:39] Speaker C: It was gone.
[00:03:40] Speaker B: We talked about this on whole fashions, but for the people who don't know the story, tell them how much those things cost.
[00:03:44] Speaker C: That was 6,000 a piece. And I lost from like four different occasions. So it's like around 20,000. That's 24,000 just in damages.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: 26,000?
[00:03:53] Speaker C: Yeah, just in damages. Like, I was like, fuck that. I'm like, these are just stitched up. And you know, like you said before, I went so well put together. So I didn't have insurance on my jury or no shit like that. Like, once it's gone, it's gone. I got to pay for that shit out of my own pocket every time. So yeah, it was a wrap. But I still get in there with that shit on for sure.
[00:04:14] Speaker A: And you brought up insurance. Is that something that you. That you're aware of now?
[00:04:19] Speaker C: Like 100%.
[00:04:20] Speaker A: Okay, 100%. So just. Cause I'm not there in my journey. Like, what does insurance on jewelry look like? Like, what the fuck does that mean.
[00:04:29] Speaker C: If anything happens to it, they give you the money back for it? But it's usually more than what the jury actually costs. Cause it's worth more? I don't know. I don't know the details of it, but let's just say a watch is 50,000, right? Your insurance on it, if you lose, it might be a hundred. You know what I'm saying?
[00:04:49] Speaker A: So why don't just lose the watch on purpose?
[00:04:51] Speaker C: That's insurance fraud. D.J. here, you go to jail. You go to jail, buddy. They not done.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: I'm just asking questions.

[00:05:03] Speaker C: They really investigate too, like.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: Oh, they do.
[00:05:05] Speaker C: They really investigate, like the insurance company or the police? The insurance company. Like, they got people and you got to put in a police report to even return. I mean, like, turn into the insurance, like, gotcha. It gotta all make sense. Are they on your ass? Are you just not getting no money or you going to jail? One or the other.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: Damn.

[00:08:44] Speaker C: Like, it's all a mental thing. Like, you might be in the club all the time. You gonna always see another nigga with more than you. So that's gonna put in your head, like, oh, I gotta do it up and. But if you a cool player, laid back nigga, you got enough pieces to where you ain't gotta wear everything at once. You just switch off. You know what I'm saying? If you got your cheese up, all right, go get something new, add some to the collection. But it's not mandatory. You get something new. You know what I'm saying?

It's just too much going on. No pictures, please. You know what I'm saying? And. But I never had, like. I mean, I had that, but I had a girl, like, she, like, trying to, like, start some foreplay or whatever, right?

But I just recently just start doing it every day because you never know. And once you're in a groove of just dressing all the time, it come easier when it's really time to, like, put something together.

[00:12:42] Speaker B: So what kind of kid were you in school?
[00:12:46] Speaker C: Getting fly. Was my mom Idea. That's all my mom, like, she the older sister of my uncle, like, and he like, nigga out. So she taught him how to get fly. She taught me how to get fly. She had me real young. So, you know, this back in the day, we taking the mall pictures. We got the outfit matching the background. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was a whole thing. Like, she taught me, you gonna get fly, you gonna keep your hygiene up, and this how you talk to women, et cetera. It was kind of a. A thing with her and just rubbed off later on. For real.
[00:13:17] Speaker A: My mom didn't do none of that.
I'm rough around the edges.
[00:13:20] Speaker C: My mom was young, bro. She was young. I'm keep. My mom was a dope girl. Like, okay. She was a part of. Like, yeah, yeah. Like, she was a part of that. That. That epidemic that happened in the 90s, you know what I'm saying?
She had to throw a tally and go corporate. That was it.

[00:14:02] Speaker A: You don't wanna be the 50 Canaan.
[00:14:04] Speaker C: Nah, nah, nah.
[00:14:05] Speaker B: So how was your childhood being raised by a mom that's involved in the game like that?
[00:14:12] Speaker C: To be honest, she was like.
How can I put it? Like, she wasn't really around like that, but when she was, she'll make it count. Because I kind of feel like it was like her subconsciously knowing, like, oh, I haven't been here, or, let's go to the circus, or let's go to Knott's Berry Farm or some shit like that. But outside of that, she was outside. Like, she wasn't really home like that. Like, I'm probably either with my grandma or I'm with my. And she got four kids, four cousins of mine that's older than me, so I'm over there all the time, so it differs. Like, you know, she wasn't really around like that until probably. Like, probably, like, middle school, like, seventh grade, maybe.
[00:14:55] Speaker B: Remember the little nigga on Minister Society? Was it Kane who saw his daddy shoot somebody?
[00:15:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: Did you See anything crazy like that?
[00:15:03] Speaker C: I seen my mama stab somebody.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Oh, shit. Okay. Yeah, tell me more.
[00:15:10] Speaker C: What you.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: So what was that like, bro?
[00:15:12] Speaker A: There's no statute of limitation on attempted murder.
[00:15:16] Speaker B: They don't know who his mom is?
[00:15:20] Speaker C: Nah, it was just some.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: It was about some money.
[00:15:23] Speaker C: Nah, she. She is who she is. Like. And, you know, niggas is niggas. And he thought he was too much of a nigga that day. And she showed him. That's all that was.
[00:15:34] Speaker A: So let me ask you a question, right? Cause I have psychological trauma from.
[00:15:40] Speaker C: Why you laugh. If it's trauma.
[00:15:44] Speaker B: Why are you laughing?
[00:15:45] Speaker C: That's nostalgic. Ain't no trash.
[00:15:47] Speaker A: That's how we get through it. We laugh. We laughing right now. We laugh through the bullshit. So my mom.
I have a desensitizing, like, personality right? Where? Oh, I know.
That's how I'm able to say, like, oh, nigga, that shit. That record is trash.
[00:16:01] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that.
[00:16:02] Speaker A: Because my mom would just come in the room and hand me some batteries and flashlights and be like, hey, the power finna be off for a week till I get paid.
[00:16:08] Speaker C: That's what it is.
[00:16:09] Speaker A: And she was going in her room, like, it was like, Tuesday, right?
[00:16:11] Speaker C: That's crazy.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: So I have that in my brain. After you see your mom, like, break someone's skin with a blade.
[00:16:19] Speaker B: Buck 50 a nigga, right?
[00:16:23] Speaker A: Like, do you start taking the trash out on time or do you, like, how do you adjust to that? You know what? I'm finna wash these dishes. Cause she be tripping.
[00:16:34] Speaker C: Not really. Like, around the time she did that, she was still, like, active, like, in the streets or whatever, right? So it wasn't like. And I'm the first born, so, like, my little brothers are more closer together. So I had to be outside. I had to go make friends and shit like that.
Like, I mean, I was scared of my mama, but I'm gonna still do what I'm gonna do. Come home, get my ass whooped. That's just what it is. Oh, you still get my ass whooped.
[00:16:58] Speaker A: Okay, so you wasn't running from the fade with moms?
[00:17:01] Speaker C: Absolutely not. It's broomsticks, race car tracks, Whatever she can find is Gordell.
[00:17:07] Speaker A: Okay, so black man to black man.
[00:17:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:10] Speaker A: At what age did you start getting swung on? Cause I think it was 12 for me when my mom stopped, like, spanking me, and I just too, too. I was like, oh, shit.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: Like, you mama squaring up with you.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: She just swung. No, she just two pieced me.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: Whoa.
[00:17:24] Speaker C: I don't think my mom ever like, swung on me, but I'll tell y'all some crazy shit. I think I was probably.
[00:17:29] Speaker A: She stabbed you?
[00:17:33] Speaker C: Close enough.
I think I was probably like 10, maybe 10 or 11, one of those. But she choked me out, so.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: Wait, wait, wait. Did you lose consciousness?
[00:17:44] Speaker C: I'm about to tell you, okay.
[00:17:46] Speaker B: I'm about to tell you.
[00:17:47] Speaker C: I'm about to tell you some crazy shit. She said something to me and I told you. She don't be around me like that at the time. So I say something crazy backlit, you know? Cause who you talking to at this point? You the homegirl. You don't even be around like that. Who you talking. You ain't talking to me. I'm 10.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: I'm. Girl, you the homegirl is crazy.
[00:18:08] Speaker C: She not talking to me.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: I'm 10.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: I'm a grown ass man. I remember, I could see it in my head, like right now. She must have turned around so quick and, like, choked me and was like, who you was talking. Who you talking to? Da, da, da. I pass out and pee on myself. It's over with. Oh, God. Right hand of God. And she was like, face scared, like, trying to wait me up. Now, like, it's over with.
[00:18:28] Speaker A: Wake your ass up.
[00:18:30] Speaker C: I should. I should have just. You feel me play dead at that moment, get my little sympathy out of there. But she did some crazy.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Has that. Well, you don't. You don't have kids, but do you feel like you a parent the same way that she did?
[00:18:43] Speaker C: No, but not as like, the whooping or whatever. Like as bad or shit like that. But I will be like, strict though, for sure. Like, I mean, I know how to give space and all that, but none of the. Please, you know what I'm saying? None of the. For sure.
[00:18:59] Speaker A: You know, this whole year we've heard a lot of crazy shit. Like, yeah, the back and forth. I heard a lot of crazy shit on Meet the Grams record. I've heard a lot of on, like, all these other records that came out. I've. The craziest top three list now is, you ain't talking to me. I'm 10.
[00:19:22] Speaker C: Oh, God.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: You the homegirl.
[00:19:24] Speaker C: Oh, God.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: That's top three crazy shit I done heard this year.
[00:19:28] Speaker C: You gotta understand, bro, I grew up on 86 and fig. And then.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: I don't give a fuck where you grew up.
[00:19:32] Speaker C: I'm telling you, that's just what it is. And I'm outside with the homies. And then from there, when that happened, I Was living in Watts on, like, 110th and Avalon. Like weed outside. You know what, mama? What? You ain't been here for two weeks. I know you ain't telling me what to do.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: You ain't talking to me. I'm 10.
[00:19:52] Speaker C: What?
[00:19:53] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: We gotta get into this track, Peekaboo. So me and Head, literally, while everybody going crazy on the timeline, talking about the album and stuff, we are on air with Sway not knowing what the hell is going on. We thinking Dot just dropped a snippet. So we sat here, we set up everything. We listened to a lot.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: I thought GNX was just a song. Not to cut your. But I thought GNX was just a song.
[00:20:15] Speaker B: That's what we thought.
[00:20:15] Speaker C: That's crazy.
[00:20:16] Speaker B: That's what we thought. But we listening to it, and I just hear Peekaboo. It's a. Yeah, chicken cheese. Peekaboo. And we went crazy. Cause remember, initially, the track list didn't have features on it.
[00:20:27] Speaker C: It didn't. I knew, though. I knew.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: You knew already.
[00:20:30] Speaker C: I seen the Peekaboo name. I knew.
[00:20:32] Speaker B: I knew for sure, man. It was an amazing feeling for me. I'm literally telling Head, like, we saying it like, this nigga Chike is going back and forth with Kendrick Lamar. Like, that is hard.
[00:20:42] Speaker A: You didn't get slept.
[00:20:43] Speaker B: You did. You low key.
[00:20:45] Speaker C: You lowkey him up.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: I put my thumb.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: We didn't have faith. Not that we didn't have faith in you.
[00:20:52] Speaker C: I mean, it is Kendrick.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: Yeah, but I feel like. So let's. Let's remove you from the song, right? If I hear the song without you in my mind, this sound like a track that Chike's supposed to be on.
[00:21:03] Speaker C: That's what he said. That's how he did the track. Like, he did it the night. The day before I went. He said he did it in New York and he thought about me then. He said he was gonna hit me up then. But he was like, he was in New York and he wanted me to pull up. So he waited until he got to la. The very next day, he told me to come over there and we did the shit and the parts. He already had his parts on there. The parts where he wanted me to rap on. He already was mumbling how I rap. So, like, he really tapped in, bro. On, God.
[00:21:32] Speaker B: He really tapped in.
[00:21:33] Speaker C: Like, he be in the shadows watching niggas, but he's indeed watching niggas. Yeah. Yeah, from God.
[00:21:39] Speaker B: Let me tell you where you got me fucked up at, though, because When a beef was going on, we was talking about everything. You was like, yeah, I been over there, whatever. Da, da, da, da. You never told me that you was over there. Over there.
[00:21:51] Speaker C: No. At the time. No.
[00:21:53] Speaker B: I mean, that was why the beef was going on.
[00:21:56] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no. We did. Peekaboo. October 8th. Exactly.
[00:22:00] Speaker B: What?
[00:22:01] Speaker C: That's why I'm saying GNX came out almost like a month later. Like, that did that fast, bro. Like, I'm not gonna lie. And he told me asap. Like, I asked him, like, I'm like, so when you plan on dropping this? He like, asap. I'm thinking this around Super Bowl. Like, that was not playing. And he was talking about tomorrow. Like, you feel me? But nah, like, I'm cool and kind of close with, like, the whole TD camp for the most part. You get what I'm saying? And Sway is like, that's his family, so that's my brother. Like, you know, I am close over there. But I've never talked to Dot before or, like, when that was happening, I had never talked to Dot before. But it was funny you said that. Cause I just seen a stream of Keem saying he sent Dot my songs in 2018. Like, are you up on bro? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, damn, that's crazy.
[00:22:50] Speaker B: So that's like burnt rubber time.
[00:22:52] Speaker C: Yeah, that's, like, right after. On, God. Oh, God. That's, like, right after, but now, yeah, that shit was crazy. I'm not gonna lie.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: The actual recording, because you said that he wanted to work with you on it. Like, physically be there.
[00:23:04] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: Did y'all, like, how did he kind of sit. Did y'all sit down and chop it up and be like, all right, this is how I want the song to be. Did you know about the song before you even got to the studio? Like, how did that work?
[00:23:14] Speaker C: No, and I haven't said this yet, but this is.
This is kind of my little subtle flex. Because I know for the most part, him reaching out to the other artists, he was, like, reaching out to their team, or he reached out to somebody who knew them. Yeah. You know, N. The person who called me and told me Dot wanna fuck with me was Q. You know what I'm saying? That's a crazy line. Like, yeah, Schoolboy Q FaceTimed me to let me know Kendrick Lamar wanna fuck with me. Like, you get what I'm saying? Like, first of all, Q never FaceTimes me. Never.
[00:23:48] Speaker A: Q don't FaceTime nobody.
[00:23:49] Speaker C: Like, I might Text him. He might say a little something back, but, like, he never FaceTimed me, nigga. It's like 1pm on a Monday afternoon. Like, he FaceTimed me. I answer. He like, what you on? I'm like, I ain't no shit. He in the Rolls Royce. I see the stores in the ceiling. I'm like, I ain't no shit.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:08] Speaker C: I don't see, like, you around anybody. I'm like, nah. He like, well, you know, Doc wanna fuck with you. I just got off the phone with him. He just, you know, I just wanted to let you know before I send your number over. You ain't gotta let me know nothing, Mr. Q. Send that number.
[00:24:22] Speaker A: Send that number.
[00:24:23] Speaker C: Send that number. He like. He like, all right, I'm gonna send it over. And he like, bro, whatever you do, whatever he have you do, nigga be on that. Like, be on that. Like. But to answer your question, that's the only, like, sit down. Of, like, what do you want to do? What should you do on this record? All they gave me was go crazy for the most part. Like, Q told me to be on that when I got there and work with Doc, Doc said, like, just be you, but make sure. Whatever you rap, make sure you say something to where when they hear this, they be like, who the fuck is this? That's all he said. Walked out the room, walked out the room, walked out the room.
[00:24:59] Speaker A: So was like, what you mean, like, he left or like, what you mean?
[00:25:03] Speaker C: He walked out of the room. He's like, I'm gonna let you do your shit. I'm gonna go handle this phone call. I'll be back.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:25:08] Speaker C: He just kept coming back in there, in and out. To listen to each verse, he'd be like, oh, yeah, that's hard. Now do this part. That's hard. Now do this part.
[00:25:15] Speaker A: So he did give you some coaching?
[00:25:17] Speaker C: He gave me coaching when I was supposed to. I was supposed to do.
And I think that's why they, like, at the end of Peekaboo. It was like, me him going back and forth on the hood. Like, they had me do the hook, and they had me do the peekaboos. Like, he was definitely coaching me on that, though.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: I remember I saw you saying that you couldn't really hit that hook, though.
[00:25:34] Speaker C: Hell, no.
[00:25:35] Speaker A: Cause even when I'm like, what? I have trouble saying it, like, you know what I'm saying?
But when you tried it, I mean, you did it. You hit. You did the hook, did it take? Did he tell you like, no, that ain't it?
[00:25:53] Speaker C: No. They would tell me, do it again. Or I tell myself, that ain't it. Like, I know when it's some trash or I'm just not feeling confident in it. And when I first tried to do it, it just wasn't working. I couldn't even catch it. So I'm like, nah. I'm like, play the backtrack with Kendrick seeing it and then I just go under it. I thought it was just gonna be that they was like, no, take the backtrack off now. You do it by yourself. So I'm like, okay, bet. Yeah, yeah. I end up eventually, like, catching it a little bit.
And then, I mean, obviously it was good enough. He put it in there. But I was overthinking the whole situation. Not even gonna lie to you.
[00:26:29] Speaker A: When did you. When you was. Were you nervous, like, to do the verse?
[00:26:34] Speaker C: No, I was more nervous on the way there. Like, if anything, like the day before. Cause he hit me up on a Monday.
[00:26:42] Speaker A: So he texts you himself?
[00:26:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I still text the nigga to this day. Sometimes he just texts me, like, bi weekly. Just like, yeah, same. Yeah, what's the deal?
[00:26:49] Speaker A: Like, say, what's up?
[00:26:50] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I just talked to him, but yeah, Q told me, like, he gonna call you. He like, sometimes he be bullshitting, but he gonna call you. I'm waiting all day. I'm waiting all day sitting by the phone. Well, I'm pacing back and forth. I'm telling all my folks, like, they tripping.
I little lo and behold, around like, 9pm I get that text. What the deal? What the deal? I was like, you feel me? And then, like, that next day, you feel me?
I had actually went to the studio with him, but it was just that moment before that, I was like, all the jitters was out. And I told him that, like, I think, like, all my nervousness or anything I could have been dealt with. I got it all out. When I worked with Q.
[00:27:35] Speaker A: Fact.
[00:27:35] Speaker C: Cause Q told me that. I told him, like, bruh, I ain't gonna lie.
Nigga shaking in his boots. He like, for what? Like, I'm a nigga. Like you. Like, I'm normal. Like you. Like, you feel me? And I stayed with Q in the studio for like a week. And I told Doc that shit too. Like, bro, I already got all my jitters out the way. Like, I did the whole homie treatment with Q and he like, yeah, if Q fuck with you, I know I can fuck with you. Cause he don't fuck with nobody. And he like, maybe that's why shit already feel so natural. Cause you already got the jitters out with him. You know what I'm saying?
[00:28:07] Speaker A: Nah, Q going to put you to the test too. Q kicked me out the studio. So, like, I know he don't be fucking around.
[00:28:13] Speaker C: Nah, he don't play Ain't no. And I pick up little shit like, ain't no being on the phone.
I don't want to hear no tiktoks in the back while I'm writing his song. None of that shit. Don't answer the phone.
[00:28:24] Speaker A: It's work time.
[00:28:25] Speaker C: Like, I seen him get on Musa. Like, Musa answer a call. Musa probably on business. He answer a call, he look back, look crazy. Like Musa just stepped out. Like, you feel what I'm saying? So, like, you know what I'm saying? I respect it though. It makes sense. It really do make sense.
[00:28:39] Speaker A: They take it serious.
[00:28:40] Speaker C: No, for sure.
[00:28:41] Speaker A: How long did it. How long were you at the studio.
[00:28:42] Speaker C: All in with Die? Probably like it was like. Probably like a full day session. Probably like 8 hours. I got there at like 2pm, stayed till like 8.39ish.
[00:28:54] Speaker B: There's a fan theory.
[00:28:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:28:57] Speaker B: That you guys, the features were talking to the opposition, the other side.
Is that true?
Because you said some shit like, see, heard what happened with your man. Not sorry for your loss.

[00:29:15] Speaker C: I mean, it could be.
[00:29:16] Speaker B: When you say he on the ground, I praise God and start stumping feet.
[00:29:19] Speaker C: I mean, it could be dot Dot is just. I don't know.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: I'm asking you, was you talking to the other team?
[00:29:27] Speaker C: Man, I just be rapping sometimes and I get inspiration.
[00:29:33] Speaker B: So who inspir? I put my thumb with her.
[00:29:36] Speaker C: Ah, man.

I'd even wear AZ chain.
[00:37:01] Speaker C: Oh, my Lord. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta get to that.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: I wanna go back to. Before we wrap up, I wanna go back to the pop out. Because that was, like, a huge moment, I think, for everybody, which kind of snowballed into this momentum that we see now. And I wanna public. I mean, I know that I understand people. They always say I'm not. I'm like, try to act fake humble or fake aware. I am aware that my name was on the marquee. I was one of three acts on the show Facts. I had a huge task in having all of y'all as a part of my set. I had 28 minutes to get a hell of niggas on stage and off stage. We had one day to rehearse, and.
[00:37:41] Speaker C: You had 28 niggas at rehearsals.
[00:37:43] Speaker A: And I just wanna say to you publicly, thank you. Because when I made the decision to combine your set with Ruchi, it was just like, all right, let's do it. It was no, like.
Like, oh, nigga, I got songs and this now. And it was just like, all right, whatever you need us to do. Let's knock it out. Let's get to it. And I just respect that so much. Cause I only asked that to, like, four of y'all. But I had 28 minutes to make a miracle happen. You know what I'm saying? And we were able to pull it off. We made history. But, you know, to your point, like, I mean, to the point I just made about how you are and why you deserve the blessings. Thank you.
[00:38:20] Speaker C: Nah, I appreciate it, brother.
[00:38:21] Speaker A: That was like. I was talking to Wacko about that. Yes. Two days yesterday, actually. And I was like, bro, we really pulled that off. And I, like, it wasn't an impossible task that I had, but it was more like, okay, I gotta figure this out, because I had more niggas than I had time.
[00:38:38] Speaker C: It wasn't possible, but it could have went crazy. It could have went left. It could have went left. It could have went left. Like, on the artist side, behind the scenes, we gotta get into, like, the logistics of it all. But Office show was telling the homies, like, don't do that. That's not cool. Let's not do that. That's not the place. And, you know, they didn't bring us out here for that. And the point of this was to, you know, bring United. Yeah. So, yeah, definitely. I seen some shit, heard some shit. Yeah. But niggas would be niggas. That ain't really about nothing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Would be niggas all the time.
[00:39:12] Speaker A: No, I got all. Trust me. I got every phone call in the city.
[00:39:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:39:15] Speaker A: About all. Everything. And it was just like, bro, I was given a task, we executed, it went down. It was great.
[00:39:23] Speaker C: I think it really shocked niggas at the rehearsal because everybody thought, for the most part. I know. I thought it, too, that we was coming to rehearsal and it was just our shit. Like, all right, we want you to come at this time because that's the time we want you. And then you can dip next person come. When we got there, it was everybody there. So niggas is. Yeah, like, you know, I don't blame. Certain, you know, scoping the scene. I did the same thing. I parked in the corner with the homie. Like, it was very.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: It was very mixy.
[00:39:54] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm like, what was that like? Yeah, Like, I didn't get out the car until they said, like, headset, where you at? I said, okay, let me hop out. You know what I'm saying? But, nah, that was actually very incredible. And then at the show, like, in the trailer, everybody was like, you know, Kumbaya. Like, it was fire, bro. Not gonna lie.
[00:40:14] Speaker A: And the thing is, I don't know where the footage is, but I know they recorded the blast. Keep telling me, like, he saw that footage of. Or he saw me make that speech. You remember the speech at the beginning where I rounded everybody up?
[00:40:26] Speaker C: They had that camera out.
[00:40:27] Speaker A: Yeah, they had a camera out. I don't know where the footage is, but I wasn't trying to be aggressive. I was just trying to let niggas know, like, hey, this ain't that. Like, egos, like, where you from? I don't give a fuck about none of that. I got 28 minutes, and I need y'all niggas cooperation. So if you don't wanna get down, like, please leave now. Yeah, and I just appreciate your cooperation because I didn't ask everybody to combine their set. I only asked, like, four of y'all to do that, and y'all did it, and I just really appreciated that.
[00:40:57] Speaker C: Nah. Yeah, that shit came up crazy, bro.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: Why do you think you've been able to, like, move around and not have any, like, issues? Like, you've never been in no drama. It ain't nothing, like, ever chaotic with you. What is it about you that you think like. Like, people just, like, they not on that with you.
[00:41:14] Speaker C: I wouldn't Say that I probably just don't give this attention. And I'm the bigger entity. So if I feed into it, everybody's gonna see it, right? Or if I say something about it, everybody gonna see it.
And I've said this before, just, you know, dealing with people from tde, the Mooses, the Kings and shit like that. Being on the Internet with the monkey shit is lame.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:40] Speaker C: What's up, homies? It's all that like, you feel me? Like, not like that, but even the beefs past beefs I got into, like, they didn't get up on me about it, but they let me know they seen it. And that kind of still made me feel away, like, all right, let me not. If it is gonna be something, leave it over there. Don't hop on the Internet. So it do be shit happening, granted.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: But you not problematic though.
[00:42:02] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't. And it still be happening. You know what I'm saying? It's niggas will be niggas. Niggas is jealous, niggas is envious, niggas is broke. It's just the territory we in. And, you know, it's either you gonna separate and elevate from that, or you gonna, you know, take risk and find out what's on the other end of that bullshit. You know what I'm saying? And we've came too far for like that and too high up to, you know, get that type of drag down. But do be happening. It just never hit the Internet.
[00:42:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:30] Speaker C: A lot of stay in the street or it stay between me, whoever is going on until somebody do some weird. It's always the little weird that's gonna hop on the Internet.

But it's all positive right now. It wouldn't be me if we didn't get messy.

[00:48:14] Speaker C: Didn't care.
[00:48:15] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:48:16] Speaker C: What am I stopping for?
[00:48:17] Speaker B: Did she care?
[00:48:18] Speaker C: Yeah, she was in pain.
[00:48:20] Speaker B: Did it. Oh, did it break?
[00:48:22] Speaker C: No, it didn't break.
[00:48:23] Speaker B: It's solid.

[00:48:28] Speaker A: Yeah, that hurt.
[00:48:29] Speaker C: I know it hurt.
[00:48:31] Speaker A: At what point did you. Did you not stop at all?
[00:48:35] Speaker C: Like, like for. For brief words. Oh, damn. Move it all the way back to it.
[00:48:41] Speaker A: You know what's interesting is you would probably stop a show if a fan was in need of medical attention.
[00:48:46] Speaker C: Of course.
[00:48:47] Speaker A: But you didn't stop.
[00:48:52] Speaker C: In that case, pleasure is pain, you know, so it all goes along the line just. Cause I Ain't causing it. Don't mean it don't count. You know what I mean? So that's just what that is. You.
[00:49:03] Speaker B: You like, you back there at this.
[00:49:05] Speaker C: Point, I'm back there.
[00:49:06] Speaker B: So it hit her in the back of the head.
[00:49:08] Speaker C: That's what I'm saying.
[00:49:10] Speaker A: Okay. Never mind.
[00:49:11] Speaker B: Imagine leaving a house with a concussion.
[00:49:13] Speaker A: I ain't gonna ask you that.
[00:49:14] Speaker C: She probably had a little lunch or something. Who knows?
[00:49:17] Speaker A: Did y'all? My last two questions. Number one is, now that you got the project, I mean, the. The big announcement, the deal and everything like that. Are you approaching music differently?
[00:49:28] Speaker C: It's funny you asked that. I was approaching music differently when Blue Little Drop.
Like, I already was on that. Like, I already told myself there was no more dropping music the same. Like, I just really don't want this.
For me to have such a year like that with the Q and the Dot for this type of shit to go in vain. So, you know, like, I really gotta, like, strap my boots and really get to it. Because they'll probably say, like, they don't look at it that way, but I don't want to, like, let them down. You get what I'm saying? So it's just like, you can't rub shoulders with the greats and not be great yourself, I feel. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I'm making it my business. Nothing is done the same. Nothing is done the same at all.
[00:50:16] Speaker A: I feel that you got more records with Q&.in the tuck.
[00:50:21] Speaker C: Yeah, I definitely got more records with Q. Probably won't ever see the Deadlight Dot.
Not necessarily. I know after we did Peekaboo, he had hit me up and told me he wanted me to come in the studio to see if I could bring a record to life, but we just never did it. He was like, back and forth in New York at the time. But Peekaboo was, like, four minutes long, bro. We got, like, an extra, probably extra four verses. Our extra three verses from me and him. Each, like, word kept going back and forth, like, on the track. That's why when it came out, it came out. I feel like probably is what he felt was best. But that song is a lot longer, bro. Like, yeah, like, remember I told you he keep coming out and down the room. He would come in and he'd be like, that's hard. All right, do this part. And there's parts of the beat I never knew was there. So, like, it was different shit. Like, different flows, like, different pockets. Like, he was doing a lot of Shit on that beat, bro. Like, that nigga cold. That cold, dog.
[00:51:23] Speaker A: What's the. What's the thing that you took away from working with him in that close proximity?
[00:51:28] Speaker C: I took away a lot. I really had, like, my day to day. Stella just told me, like, make sure you get advice. And we really, like, had like a. A kind of like a heart to heart, but like, it was like he was waiting. Like, he wanted. He was waiting for me to ask or, you know what I mean, to holla at me. But I took a lot. I kind of feel like I haven't said this. I don't know. I could be wrong. I kind of feel like I gave him some thought or some inspiration on the HART Part 6. Because I asked him about, like, homies and coming up, like. Cause I got my own problems and my own show, my own homies. And I asked him that. And I even asked him about the transition from TDE to PG Lane, and he was just going into detail, telling me all this shit. And then I hear the hard part six. I'm like, nigga, we was just talking about that.
You know what I mean?
If A motivated, you let me know. But I. I got a lot from that, though, as. As far as, like.
As far as, like, music, it. It's just really taking time. Like, if I do a song, usually I do a song. Whatever I do, then, all right, cool engineer makes it. Whenever it drop, it drop. Now, like, I'm taking my time. Like, I'll come right now. He'll tell you, I got, like, three versions of each song. Like, you know what I'm saying? Just to broaden the options and really create a record and make sure it lives for a long time, you know what I'm saying? That's what I got from. At least from Kendrick Q is just. I could never drop the same again. Like, it gotta be packaged different, you know what I'm saying?
[00:53:05] Speaker A: Hey, bro, I'm so impressed by your growth.
Like, I am, bro. You really, like. You like a. Like you a vet. Like, at this point, you not just you not one of the little homies. Like, all that shit is out the window, and you. And you get it. You moving accordingly. So I'm happy for you, bro. I'm like, I'm proud of you. I can't wait to hear, you know, the new stuff that you. That you've been really meticulous about and congratulations again on the deal.
[00:53:31] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:53:31] Speaker A: And the crazy year that you've had.
[00:53:33] Speaker B: Yeah. It seemed like you keep getting, like, just from witnessing everything from the beginning. Like, I remember when Burn Rubber dropped, and I remember Burn Rubber again. I remember when all that happened. I remember when you and Ruchi did Light it up, and that's one of the LA, like, anthems. Like, Light it up is one of those songs I love when y'all perform that shit at rolling Loud. Like, it's just. It's literally in the whole fucking every. It light. It literally lights up. Like, that's one of the ones seeing it at the pop out. Like, that's one of those ones that, like, our era, at least. We're gonna be playing that shit forever.
[00:54:06] Speaker C: Yeah, for sure.
[00:54:06] Speaker B: And then you get this situation with the gnx and now you in Mustard in the studio.
[00:54:12] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:54:13] Speaker B: What's up with that?
[00:54:15] Speaker C: He cold too, bruh. I just pulled up. The nigga gave me, like. He gave me, like, 17 beats to choose from, and he kind of did the same shit that was doing, like, well, but that was all in the same room with him. We was, like, in separate rooms. He, like, in the back room still doing beats, and I'm in the front room just, like, knocking him out. He's just coming out, like, yeah, that's hard, like, but he working on something, for sure. Like, he working on something on some west coast, for sure. So I'm glad he even called me in, you know, with him, and I knocked out, like, five, you know, just to lay the foundation of it. And I'm pretty sure we're gonna do, like, more to it, depending on what records he want to use. But, yeah, we definitely got it in for the day after Thanksgiving. Whoop. Stomach full. I'm still eating leftovers, but, yeah, we got it in. Yeah, for sure.
[00:55:02] Speaker B: Congratulations, man.
[00:55:03] Speaker A: Hell, yeah, man. Also, can you give us something out of the album? I mean, now that you got the deal and stuff, are you looking at a drop? Like, you looking at a time that you want to actually drop a project or with the new situation.
[00:55:15] Speaker C: Yeah, it'll definitely be before summer. Probably, like, March or May. Like, I told you. Like, all this shit, they moving fast. This shit's moving fast. Really? Because they want to, you know, they want to do this while the gun is still hot. You know what I'm saying? Like, with this shit still going on and. Yeah, most likely, like, May or April. Really?
[00:55:36] Speaker A: Well, I'm looking forward to it, bro. Yeah, I'm happy for you, dog.
[00:55:40] Speaker C: No, I appreciate it, brother.
