[00:03:47] Speaker A: Okay, well, that's what's up, bro. No weed.
[00:03:50] Speaker C: I smoke weed every day.
[00:03:51] Speaker A: Okay, all right, all right.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: Smoke weed.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: All right, all right. But that wasn't the problem. I know, I know, I know, I know. But that's really it. I mean, I'm the same person.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: Do you feel okay? I want to stay because this is important. I don't want to. Like, how long have you. How long have you been done with it?
[00:04:09] Speaker C: We ain't probably like a good, like, eight months period. Pills. Probably like a good two years.
[00:04:13] Speaker A: Do you feel different? Is your mental different? What do you feel like?
[00:04:17] Speaker C: Yeah, for sure. You know what's crazy? Like, last June, I got real sick, like, bad, like pneumonia type. And I wasn't eating or smoking, drinking, nothing. You feel me? And I felt, like, super, like, pure and clean. Like, it was crazy. All my dreams was vivid. Like, I smoke weed every single Day. So for that, like, month that I was sick, I didn't smoke at all. So every time I go to sleep, the dreams was like.
It was like real life. And that shit was scary. I had to hurry up and get back to smoking weed. I don't like that shit.
[00:04:50] Speaker A: What you mean? Like, you. It was too real. Yeah, but that's how, you know, you sleep for real.
[00:04:56] Speaker C: Reliving past moments in dreams.
[00:04:57] Speaker A: It was crazy, bro.
[00:04:59] Speaker C: I didn't like that shit.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: What was the process like for you quitting drugs, though? Like, did you go back ever? Like, what was.
[00:05:07] Speaker C: Nah, it wasn't a process. It was really just like, my surroundings to be real. Like, I stopped, like, partying like that a lot. You feel what I'm saying? Cause I'm not even like, it's crazy. Cause when I used to pop pills, like the homies used to pop pills, but I used to cheat it. I used to, like, take a little piece and, like, just a little. I was cheating it all the time, but it would get me fucked up. So then I started taking more. And when I started taking more, I started making bad decisions. So I was just like, yeah, it scared me.
[00:05:34] Speaker A: Did you go through a relapse? I mean, not relapse. I'm sorry. Did you go through, like, withdrawals? Withdrawals?
[00:05:38] Speaker C: Nah. Hell no. I don't think I was on it that bad, but I was on it to the point where I was partying every night and making bad decisions.
[00:05:45] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:05:45] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:05:46] Speaker A: And that combined with the liquor, all that.
[00:05:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I was drunk as hell last night. Oh, my God.
[00:05:52] Speaker A: Last night.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: Last night.
[00:05:54] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:05:55] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:05:56] Speaker C: I'm hungover right now. Like, right now.
[00:05:57] Speaker A: All right? So look, rouge you, my young homie. I'm gonna tell you the tr.
[00:06:01] Speaker B: When we quit, we just quit the pills.
[00:06:04] Speaker C: Just the lean and the pills. But the weed and the liquor is.
[00:06:08] Speaker A: Like, this nigga said I stopped cheating on my wife with my girlfriend.
[00:06:13] Speaker C: That's what this. That's what it be, too. If you, like, I be thinking a little certain shit I do is supposed to, like, be good and overall take away the weed and liquor. Cause we eat liquor is, like, every day. I mean, come on.
[00:06:24] Speaker B: But you're taking the right steps, though.
[00:06:26] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:06:27] Speaker B: So you cut out two things, and then next, if you wanna do that, you're.
[00:06:32] Speaker C: But I don't drink liquor every day. I only smoke weed every day. I drink liquor occasionally. It was like a housewarming last night for the homegirl, so got drunk.
[00:06:40] Speaker A: Don't cross the bone.
[00:06:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:06:42] Speaker A: Now, congrats.
[00:06:43] Speaker C: Thank You.
[00:06:44] Speaker A: I heard you worked on this for like two years or something crazy. Is that true?
[00:06:47] Speaker C: Like a year and a half.
[00:06:48] Speaker A: Why?
[00:06:50] Speaker C: So, like, even when I was making other albums and stuff, like, I wasn't locked in. I was just giving people music that I. That was logged in my email. Gang of that shit was just in my email.
[00:07:00] Speaker A: Clearing out.
[00:07:00] Speaker C: Yeah, just clearing it out. So for this, this project, I never really took my time with nothing. Like, so this, I just sat down and this is really like the album Don't Cross the Bone is like just me not going against myself, even my fans, not ever giving up on me and never crossing me, that type shit.
And the whole album was just basically like a nostalgic sound.
Old Ruchi kinda, but real aggressive. Like, I want to be super disrespectful without dissing. I didn't want to diss nobody, you know what I mean? So a lot of the records that I had, like, clearance, the samples, like, it was just too much.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: It was too much.
[00:07:39] Speaker C: Yeah. And then, like, everybody started dropping around the same time. Like, that's how. Like, I took so long that Peso dropped. Like, everybody dropped and they was like, I got all these people in my album, so I wanted to get them the respect. You feel me?
[00:07:51] Speaker A: I'll give it a little room.
[00:07:53] Speaker C: Yeah, got you. Yeah. But that shit ended up dropping a week apart.
[00:07:56] Speaker A: I like you and Peso.
Watch your bitch.
[00:07:59] Speaker C: Yeah, that's my little bro.
[00:08:01] Speaker A: I like you and Peso together, bro.
[00:08:02] Speaker C: That's my little bro. Like, for real. For real.
[00:08:04] Speaker A: I do have a question though.
[00:08:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: On Watcho bitch. Obviously it's about, you know, keeping an eye out on your girl, you know? Cause they choose up, right? So my question to you is, if I bring a girl around and she chews up, is she fair game if I bring a girl to the studio?
You want me to come listen to the album? I bring a girl to your studio session, she's choosing up with you, right? Is she fair game to you from your perspective?
[00:08:35] Speaker C: What you mean, fair game to me?
[00:08:37] Speaker A: Like, can you slide on it?
[00:08:40] Speaker C: Yeah, but I'm respectful though. I let you know, like, hey, head, she digging me type shit. But yeah, I do it for sure.
But I'm gonna tell the homie, right? Ain't that what I'm supposed to do?
What? That's what I'm supposed to do.
I'm supposed to tell you normally though.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: When the homie bring a girl to the studio, niggas don't even acknowledge the girl facts.
[00:09:01] Speaker C: That is true.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: That's Studio etiquette.
[00:09:04] Speaker C: Now that is crazy. Cause when the homies do bring girls to the studio, they don't say nothing to me. I don't say none of them, but they like a fucking follow me, like, three days later and shit. That's what I'm saying.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: So, okay, so in that instance, do you be like, your bitch just follow me?
[00:09:17] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: You tell.
[00:09:17] Speaker A: Okay, so you tell the homie.
[00:09:19] Speaker C: Yeah. Hell yeah.
[00:09:19] Speaker A: Okay, bet.
[00:09:20] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:09:20] Speaker A: And then if he like, I ain't tripping, then it's all good. Yeah, okay, but what if he like.
[00:09:24] Speaker C: Nah, bro, then I'll be on him. Like, why you tripping over. If she like. Like, she like me? Like, you know what I mean?
[00:09:30] Speaker A: Oh, so you actually gonna push the issue?
[00:09:32] Speaker C: Yeah, because it's like, if the homie. If the homie. All right, look. So if the homie like.
Like, she like you, but I don't want you to like her. Like, like what?
[00:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah, no, she like you, but she with me.
[00:09:46] Speaker C: But she like me.
That's more on your end. Like, you gotta. I feel you.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: That's why I'm asking.
[00:09:52] Speaker B: You gotta check that.
[00:09:53] Speaker A: Facts. But I'm just. I'm the reason. I'm just. I. Y' all was talking about.
[00:09:56] Speaker C: I ain't gonna even lie. You shouldn't even check her. You just might. We. We could both stop dealing with her. You what I'm saying? I let her go.
[00:10:02] Speaker B: Somebody got a hit, though.
[00:10:04] Speaker C: Facts, facts. But if it's you, we good, though. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying. Like, if the bro hit, then we smooth.
[00:10:11] Speaker A: So if you bring a girl to the radio station and she like me, you got it.
[00:10:16] Speaker C: And if you don't, you crazy.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: Have you been in a scenario where you brought a girl to the studio and then you looked up and she was fucking with the homie?
[00:10:25] Speaker C: Hell, yeah.
[00:10:26] Speaker A: You don't feel no kind of way.
[00:10:28] Speaker C: Hell yeah. I got villains.
Yeah. I would. It's crazy. Cause it's like, you're not supposed to act like.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: Yeah, you feel like you don't care.
[00:10:37] Speaker C: But me and my friends, we like, super, like, blunt with our feelings. Like, so, yeah, that has happened to me. And I'd be. But I don't be mad. After the homie head, though, it'd be like, damn. But if he choose up, she chews up.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: Is there a conversation between you and the homie?
[00:10:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:10:50] Speaker B: Or you letting.
[00:10:51] Speaker C: Yeah, it's cool. He gonna tell me. He gonna like the same thing I do to him.
[00:10:54] Speaker A: Like, hey, it ain't never been no static. Like, it ain't never been no problem.
[00:10:58] Speaker C: Nah. Because, see, with the homies, niggas be scared for you to see them on that vulnerable side and see them worried about a bitch. You feel me? Cause N probably really do be tripping. But they ain't gonna show.
[00:11:09] Speaker A: They ain't gonna let you know.
Well, but I'm gonna stay on the album real quick. Believe in Me is my favorite song on the project.
[00:11:19] Speaker C: That was the last minute, too. That was Jay Nari sent in that. And I just. It was really a record for, like, my boy, Boss man and all the people that did, like, BAE Squad.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Like, yeah, you shot N out and.
[00:11:31] Speaker C: Stuff at the time. Yeah. It was like, for the beginning. People like who? They never went against me type shit. Yeah.
[00:11:36] Speaker A: Nah. But Believe in Me was one of them ones. Cause I really resonate. I really feel the same way you was expressing, like, on that record. I feel like that a lot of times.
[00:11:44] Speaker C: Like, yeah, Tucking Holiday. Oh, my God. Yeah.
That was flip.
[00:11:48] Speaker B: A song that stood out to me was Put yout Through that. Because normally you and Chike do ratchet shit together.
[00:11:55] Speaker C: I see. I said that.
Thank you, G. Look.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: And it's like, y' all venting on there, like, for number one. I don't.
I may not be well versed in Chike's whole catalog. Cause you have songs like that where you on the. You doing the girl shit.
[00:12:08] Speaker C: Yeah, Tyke.
[00:12:08] Speaker B: But I don't think Chike does that. He doesn't really vent. And when y' all link up, it's usually on, like, some ratchet shit.
[00:12:14] Speaker C: So y' all pulled up on me that night, and I did party records that night. And he was like, let me get on that, like. And I was like. But I always ask Chike to, like, be more open to, like, stuff like that, because he do got, like, a side that a lot of people don't see. And it be. And then he could rap like a motherfucker. So you feel what I'm saying? So, yeah.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: Now, some random Chike question, but did you know that Chike was gonna be on gnx?
[00:12:43] Speaker C: No.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: So you found out when we found out.
[00:12:45] Speaker C: Yeah. So.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: So he didn't even tell you?
[00:12:46] Speaker C: No, he didn't tell me nothing.
[00:12:48] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:48] Speaker C: Yeah, he didn't tell me nothing afterwards.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: Y' all talked about it?
[00:12:51] Speaker C: Yeah. Hell yeah. Every time I see Chike, I got a few, like, homies, like Chike Kalen. Every time I see them do anything, I'mma just text them the biggest, like, proud of you shit. Cause it's like, we came up together. So to see. I seen my boy Kalen on the jet. I seen Chike in London. So it's like, I love it.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: How it feel for you? Kalen was just up here, and we was talking about cause. Okay, so I've been with Kalen two birthdays in a row. I've been with you probably, like six birthdays in a row. Whether it's you doing something, I'm doing something, or I come to the studio to bring my birthday in. And Kalen made me remember while we was talking about it, that we basically started together, like, our careers.
And it's the same thing with me and you. We started together.
So what is it like, the Expo?
[00:13:37] Speaker A: The Expo, nigga.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: We was in the hospital together.
[00:13:39] Speaker C: Exactly. Real shit.
[00:13:42] Speaker B: What is it like for you, though, to see all of y' all coming up and to be so successful? Cause, like, one of them moments have to be, like, the pop out where we was all backstage together.
[00:13:53] Speaker C: It's beautiful. Cause a lot of people don't even know. Like, even everybody that came up with me, like, we don't.
Like, we knew we can do this, but we don't be so big on showing it because we humble, and we, like, kind of always had this feeling that this was gonna happen. Like, back then when we was touring, Caitlin was in sprinter vans, like, with the PS5 and everything. So, like, people always treated us, even you, like, bigger than we were. You know what I'm saying? So when we touch these, like, new goals, it be like it's supposed to happen. Like, you know what I'm saying? I seen that coming type shit. Yeah.
[00:14:30] Speaker A: Do you have any.
What's your. The standout memory for you from the pop out?
[00:14:38] Speaker C: That's when I was super sick. Y' all don't even know that you was sick. Yeah, bro, I wasn't even. I was. I had pneumonia, bro.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Like, it was for real.
[00:14:44] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:14:45] Speaker B: You was about to pass that motherfucker around.
[00:14:46] Speaker C: I ran on.
No, I didn't know. Listen, that was the thing. Remember? I was like. I was telling Holiday. Cause they was like, bro, first of all, I didn't believe shit. Anything.
First of all, like.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: You got the. How'd you find out?
[00:15:02] Speaker C: I was on my deathbed. My mama was sitting in the chair next to me. I'm laying down in the bed, drinking water all day.
Holiday hit me up like, hey, I think they want to. With you with the Kendrick. I said, what Kendrick? Cause I seen Blue Bucks posted already.
So I'm like, what Kendrick? He like to pop out. I'm like, shut the up. Yeah. Then he like, nah, they're gonna do a rehearsal tomorrow. I'm like, what?
I'm like, who all gonna be there?
I'm like, who all gonna be there? They sent in that list.
Like hell not. That's. No, I promise you. I didn't believe it until I got there, and y' all niggas was there.
He was like. And then he was like. It was like. It was a DJ Head thing. And I'm like, if I see DJ Head, then it's real. Like, that's all I was worried about. Cause I'm like, a lot of niggas we can gather up. But if I seen. I seen salads. And I'm like, oh, yeah, it's up. Like, you know what I mean? But I was fucked up. I ran on stage with a water bottle, bro. I've never done that in my life.
[00:15:55] Speaker A: I did see that.
[00:15:56] Speaker C: Yeah. And then as soon as I got off stage, mustard security guard, the big, big white. He carried me to the trash can. I just was throwing up as soon as I got off stage, I promise to God.
[00:16:06] Speaker B: Oh, you was down bad.
[00:16:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I was super down bad.
[00:16:09] Speaker A: But, shit, I could not tell, bro. You did rehearsal.
[00:16:14] Speaker C: I slept in the trailer the whole time we was there.
[00:16:16] Speaker B: You was low.
[00:16:18] Speaker A: You were low. There was no footage.
[00:16:20] Speaker C: Yeah, I slept in the trailer the whole time when y' all came in. I. You know what I'm saying? But other than that, what? Yeah, I was whooped.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: You wasn't finna tell nobody, and I wasn't missing that.
[00:16:28] Speaker C: I promise you.
[00:16:29] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:16:31] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:16:31] Speaker C: So thank you again for that, too.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: I want to thank you, too, because I had Kalen up here.
Two reasons I want to thank you. One is because I didn't know that. I didn't know you had pneumonia. I definitely wouldn't have had you on the show.
[00:16:43] Speaker C: I would have been mad if you didn't let me know.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: But the other thing is, because you and Kalen are the only two people I asked to share a set with Chike. You with Chike, and then Kaitlyn and Perico, and it was no. You didn't have no problem with no pushback. It was just like, hey, bro, whatever you need me to do, like, I'm. Let's do it. Because I had 28 minutes, so I was like, I had to figure this shit.
[00:17:04] Speaker C: But I seen how you was, like, in that moment, figuring it out, so all I could do was do exactly what you needed me to do. You feel what I'M saying, like I said, it was like Inglewood. The form.

[00:17:58] Speaker A: So when you got off stage and you threw up.
[00:18:02] Speaker C: Yeah, I was throwing up.
[00:18:04] Speaker A: Cause you came back on stage when we took the picture.

[00:18:25] Speaker C: Was I down bad?

[00:18:37] Speaker A: That's a whole new respect for you, bro.
[00:18:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: So I had a very emotional moment end of July. Your mama hit me up.
[00:18:46] Speaker C: Yeah. Did she tell you? Nah. But my mama is very in tune with everything that goes on with Ruchi. So if she hit y' all up, like, she really mean that because she really in tune with everybody. I promise you.
[00:18:57] Speaker B: She hit me up and she. Cause it's like, like, obviously I know how far we go back.
[00:19:02] Speaker C: She gonna love this right here. I promise you. Oh, my God.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: But she. She had DM me on the big boy when I had posted a clip of me and big boy. And then she just said, I'm very proud of you, you know, watching your journey and st.
And I just thought, it's just so crazy that your mom is very much involved in your life and your career, and she's very, very supportive. Remember when you did the.
You did a release party at Laced?
[00:19:28] Speaker C: Uh huh.
[00:19:29] Speaker B: She did content with me that day too.
[00:19:31] Speaker C: My mom, bro, I'm telling you, she. She told me, not like that. But she low key was like, nigga, if you don't want to drive, I mean, if you don't want to go to school, go do music. I will help you, I promise you. And when I dropped out of school, my mama gave me everything I needed for music. She paid for studio time, everything.
[00:19:48] Speaker A: So like, she been in it for.
[00:19:50] Speaker C: Since I was a kid. She would buy me the XXL magazines. Like she was just so.
She loved my dream.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:57] Speaker C: And she still liked that. My mama still liked that to this day. That's why I said she gonna love this. She gonna post this like five times.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: Like, I promise you, I love your mama.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: Shout out to Mama Ru. Yeah.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: Shout out to Mama.
[00:20:06] Speaker A: Ruchi, I remember when you came to the radio station, you years ago, I think you put out. Was it Taco son?
[00:20:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: And your dad had got deported. And it made me think when you was coming, when I found out he was coming up here, I'm like, oh, all the ice rays and stuff is going on. Have you been in communication with your family over the border? And have you been affected by everything that's going on?
[00:20:26] Speaker C: So that was the last effect that I had actually was with my dad. And that was back in 2014. So it was like when it first. First went down, when Trump first got in office type shit. But. But it is kind of different because I don't explain to a lot of people that my dad is deported.
So when I see I'm very. I get in my feelings about shit to myself though.
[00:20:46] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:20:47] Speaker C: So when I see people on the Internet and they like got the jokes and stuff like that, like I be getting mad, I be just.
But I keep my composure. Cause a lot of people don't know about my situation, but my dad is deported. He can't come back. So he. But he good though. He good. My dad chilling, you feel what I'm saying? But it affected me.
Cause it's like my dad, like he did some fucked up shit in his life, but my dad also like been through a lot since a kid even being born in El Salvador, you know, so he don't deserve to not be with his family, so. And it kind of hurt him a lot. And even my uncle just came home too, so he really want to be with everybody, you know what I mean? So. Yeah.
[00:21:33] Speaker A: Is it still running?
[00:21:35] Speaker B: It's not picking up.
[00:21:38] Speaker C: Okay, we good?
[00:21:40] Speaker A: All right, well, you wanna do cards?
[00:21:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
So, Ruchi, you are One of the first people to play the game before it was a card game.
[00:21:50] Speaker C: What is that?
[00:21:50] Speaker B: The whole fashions cards?
[00:21:52] Speaker C: Okay, okay.
[00:21:53] Speaker A: Before it was a card game.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: Remember when you came on. I think I forget if I had popsicle sticks or the little index cards.
[00:22:01] Speaker C: Was it? Yeah.
No, was it? I forgot what it was. It was one of them, though.
[00:22:04] Speaker B: Well, we was taking the shots.
[00:22:05] Speaker C: So you turned this shit into a card game.
[00:22:07] Speaker B: Now I got a card game.
[00:22:08] Speaker C: That's crazy.
[00:22:09] Speaker B: You done been a part of every era. I was literally sitting here thinking. I'm like, I probably have the most Ruchi interviews out of anybody else that I ever, ever interviewed. Way from you, so.
[00:22:19] Speaker C: Nah, this right here, though.
What?
Y' all the shit.
Nah, for real. Y' all the shit, man.
[00:22:27] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Thank you. I swear to God, you been. Remember when I had Social Hour, the red studio, and you was freestyling? It was you, Draco and Akright.
[00:22:37] Speaker C: The times. Huh?
[00:22:38] Speaker B: The times.
Oh, well, actually, before we play this. Cause I didn't realize. So obviously I'm subscribed to the Mack Rucci YouTube account. I didn't even realize y' all was still using that YouTube account. That's not going nowhere, is there? Are we ever going. I know this probably so far. So far. But we was supposed to get a Sean Mack album some years ago.
[00:23:03] Speaker C: Probably not. Yo, I ain't even gonna cap. Because it's like, the way I am with his music. I can't let nobody touch his music. I don't know, like, but I. It'd probably be some features. I'll probably put them on, like, an album or something.
[00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah, give us something like that. Yeah, just one, maybe two, three, four, or just send me the shit.
[00:23:23] Speaker C: But even me, like. Even, like, my manager, you know, tucking them newbie. They real sacred with his music.
So I don't know that. It's really not in my hands, though.
[00:23:33] Speaker B: What is the holdup, though, or the situation?
[00:23:35] Speaker C: It's just. I don't know, like, nobody has took time on it. Nobody has sat down and took time to do it because it was being supposed to happen.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: Right, right, right.
[00:23:44] Speaker C: I wish I could have did it, but it's just hard being, like, a rapper and, like. Cause I want to write for people. I want to do, like, different stuff for people. I got an artist named say Baby, like my little sister.
But it's just hard to do rap and do other shit at the same time.
And that's what it was with that. But I wish I would have took more time on that, though, for sure.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: Well, there is a project coming that might be as old as that one should be, so I think y' all should figure that out.
[00:24:15] Speaker C: Okay, I got it.
[00:24:16] Speaker B: Especially with what we about to get. Like, you should figure that out.
[00:24:19] Speaker C: Okay, but.
[00:24:20] Speaker B: So this is the game.
[00:24:23] Speaker C: So what am I doing? Reading the question.
