I like that.

I like that.

So I'm happy for you.

And you know, of course I did some research a little bit.

And you know me.

My platform, I don't know if you know a little about me is I focus on the foster youth.

I do a lot for the community with the foster youth ages 18 to 21.

And I house up to like 50.

And so I wanted this platform.

You know, I started for mental health services.

I feel like a lot of people don't have that access to that.

And for one my youth, the main thing they look at is what social media.

They see all y' all on there, they admire y', all, the TikTok, all that.

And so I thought it would be cool to get people.

Cause you known.

You known in the community.

They knows you, player.

They knows you.

I asked a few of my kids, they like, yeah, I know them, I said okay, okay.

Shouts out to the kids, man, they love them.

Shouts out to the kids.

They be doing all the dances and stuff like that.

But I thought people may see the outer side, which is like you on social media, you yiken and do this, da, da.

But do they really know who you really are?

You know what I mean?

Like coming up, you know, you know, just.

I did my research.

You came up in a military family, you was home to home, you know what I mean?

And I'm sure that was, it was tough as a kid.

You came to California young, right?

Yeah, definitely.

So I was born in California, but when my mom met my stepdad, he was in the Air Force.

Got it.

So then after being in the Air Force, that's when we started bouncing around.

So mainly from California to Washington D.C. i seen that for whatever reason.

Yeah, we just kept going.

They just kept station us back and forth, which is good.

Cause I love being in California.

So it was back and forth between California, Washington D.C. and then when I got old enough, that's when I decided like, oh, I wanna live in California.

So then when I moved back to California, Louisiana right?

Yeah, I had moved to LA.

Cause I was from the 805, you feel me?

And then I had family in the Bay Area, so that's how I knew about the Bay Area.

Cause I would always come up to the Bay Area.

But we stationed at 805.

So then I was like, cool, I've been to the Bay.

I was in the 805, I'm gonna go down to LA, you know what I'm saying, and see what LA is like.

LA is not like the rest of California.

Oh no.

I mean, it's a lot of opportunities.

No, no, no.

It's a lot of opportunities out there.

Yeah, for sure, in the industry.

But it's just different from the.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

It's different from.

Yeah, from Northern California and then Central.

Central California is more close to what LA is like, but Northern California is completely different.

So.

And then, you know, it's all the gang stuff and, and all that type of stuff down there.

So I was never involved with the gang stuff.

We'll just say if my friends was not, you know what I'm saying?

But say if my friends were like in la, it don't really matter if you hanging with the wrong people.

You low key can catch it.

Yeah, catch it.

So I found myself running from getting jumped hella times.

Just hanging out with the wrong n. I don't even know what's going on.

For real.

Cause I just low key move, you feel me?

Like I'm not a billion, I'm not a billion.

But these are just my friends who was already here, you know what I'm saying?

So I'm hanging out with them.

So then when things like that was just starting to get too wild, like some of the friends was going to jail.

Like some was, you know, getting shots that like things was just going crazy.

We're just like, yeah, bro.

Like this ain't it, gotta go.

Yeah, yeah, this ain't it.

So then that's when I moved back to the 805.

Cause my aunt was still out there.

So I went to go stay with my aunt in the 805.

And then she would let me stay there for like a little bit.

But it wasn't like a permanent spot, so she would let me stay there.

And then so I told her I was just gonna go back to LA because I don't want to get in their hairs.

But I really just didn't have a spot to stay.

I see.

So I was just staying.

Yeah.

In between friends houses, sleeping in friend's garage, like just wherever I could crash at.

Like trying to put it together, like trying to just figure out life and then.

Yeah.

How old are you?

Just at that time I might have been like.

Now I'm 39.

So at that time I might have been like fresh 19 maybe.

Fresh 19, 20.

So you feeling me for that big four?

Oh yeah, yeah.

This year, Next year.

Next year.

Okay.

Yeah, we got a year, we got.

A year, we got some time.

Life gonna be different.

It's different.

Each decade is different.

Life is already different in the 30s.

From the 20s to the 30s, each decade different.

Yeah, it's a tr.

It's a difference.

But it's cool though, being older.

Cause I feel like at this age we got to see everything local.

Correct wisdom, you feel me?

Yeah, I got to live.

My little nephews and them can't live without their phones, you feel me?

Me living with my phone is just a real capable option that I like.

You know what I'm saying?

It's a real convenience, but it's like shit.

Up until I was like 21, we wasn't really.

I couldn't get on no MySpace or no shit like that.

You feel me?

Like, I spent the whole bottom half of my life outside.

Outside.

For real.

For real.

Same same.

You know what saying, like really running out doing whatever, you feel me?

So even when we was.

I was coming to the Bay area, like when.

2005, When the hyphen movement came out, I was still maybe like 17, 18, but it was like I was 20.

Yeah, we was just running around having fun type shit.

It was definitely fun.

The side shows, the show hanging out the windows.

I had my scraper and my whistle tip.

Ooh.

I used to come up and visit.

I used to come up and visit my cousin.

He stayed in Santa Rosa.

That's how I ended up moving out to the Bay Area.

They was from San Francisco and ended up moving out to Santa Rosa.

So I would fly from D.C. to Santa Rosa to go visit them.

You feel me?

And then we would go down to San Francisco and, you know, go to the functions and do all that type of stuff.

And that's why I was like, man, this is way better than la.

Not like LA was weak, but it was like, I go to.

I'll say it like this.

I'll go to a function in San Francisco with my cousins.

By the time we leave, if I went to the party with, like, we'll just say some weed and a drink.

By the time I left, I was cool with like four or five other niggas I'd never seen before in my life.

You feel me?

Like, I'm smoking.

You like, yeah, bro, where you from, bro?

Like, oh, you from dc.

Like, you know, they.

Hell.

Hella.

Are you from dc?

Oh, you.

What up, son?

Had that you.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, it was hella love.

Off top la.

It was really that same type of love just from, you know what I'm saying?

From moving there, kind of, or even from being around the area.

So, yeah, I just found real fanciness into the Bay Area from coming to visit my cousin.

So then I was in D.C. and one of my friends that was in Southern California, he got out of jail.

But when he got out of jail, I ain't gonna say his name because he a good guy now.

So he'll probably.

He got a great job and all that now.

So we just gon.

We just gonna call him Friend for the story, you feel me?

So friend gets out of jail and he like, yeah, my mom kicking me out, and I'm like, for real?

Like, yeah, he making me go live with my sister.

She live in San Jose.

And I'm like, oh, that's not far from where me and my cousins be.

You know what I'm saying?

I'll be flying out to Santa Rosa.

We'd be going to San Francisco.

He like, oh, for real?

And I'm like, yeah.

He like, next time you come, let's link up.

So then we flew out there, went to San Francisco, you know, he drove from San Jose.

We linked up.

We just talking, like, happy to see each other.

He like, man, I'm out of jail.

I'm not doing, like, none of that no more.

Like, I'm.

I'm squared up.

Like, you feel me?

I'm going to Deanne's, I believe it was called.

Yeah, I'm going to Deanza.

Like, I'm a pizza boy.

Like, you feel me?

Like, I'm just chilling, just stacking my money.

Like, you should just move to the Bay.

I'm like, hell, no, I ain't come back to California.

Y' all wild down here.

Like that LA shit.

You feel me?

LA shit's wild, bro.

I ain't coming back here no more, bro.

Like, it's crazy as an adult.

Yeah.

Like, it's just.

He like, nah, the Bay, not like that.

Like, the Bay, not like that at all.

Like this and this and this.

And my cousin like, yeah, bro, come down here.

The Bay show you love.

And I'm like, hell, nah.

Like, I don't know.

You feel me?

And then so I just kept coming back to visit, and I started making friends as I was coming down to visit.

So I started making friends with hella people in Santa Rosa and hella people in San Francisco as I'm coming down to visit.

So as I'm coming to visit, they like, oh, what's up, bro?

Yeah, come fuck with us.

Yeah.

Wooty whoopty whoop.

So then I'm like, fuck it.

I'm about to end up just moving down there.

You feel me?

So then I end up moving in with my cousin in Santa Rosa.

We end up.

Santa Rosa is like Bushwood.

Like, it's just tree up there.

Yeah, it's nothing but tree.

Nothing but tree.

It's deep in the 707.

You feel me?

So, yeah, it's.

It's deep in the seven.

You know, it's Vallejo and then it's 707 stretch.

Hella far.

So it go.

Yeah, it go.

It.

So it's like Santa Rosa, Windsor, Ronald park, like, all the.

Yeah, that We.

We was.

Yeah, we was wing over there.

Oh, that still Sonoma.

Oh, that's still Sonoma County.

I think so.

Oh, yeah, we was.

Or Petaluma.

Like, Ro Real park is Sonoma County.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it still might be all Sonoma.

Then I think so.

So we was wiggling out there.

One of my friends from San Francisco at the time, and this is back in the days, taught me about bipping.

Oh, God.

And that's before me too.

That's.

I just learned about it.

Not even a couple.

Just recently.

Yeah, see, this was.

Maybe he taught me about it.

Yeah, yeah.

This was back in the day.

This was back in the day.

Are you serious?

Yes, but just wasn't.

It wasn't as bad.

And this is the thing.

And because the.

The.

The people who told me about it, I just say.

Or the people.

I don't even who was doing.

See, it was called bipping.

But the term bipping was really for if you was driving and say, like, if you hit the corner, you'd be like, oh, I bit my car on a corner.

Correct.

You know what I'm saying?

Correct.

That was the original, like, term for bip was like he was hitting something low key.

Yeah, exactly.

So then somebody hitting your window.

I think they just.

My window got bit.

Instead of saying, oh, I bit the front of my car.

It was just my window got bitch.

So, yeah, so he tell us about that.

But the thing was, what they was doing is they was just getting tourists.

It wasn't a lot of people.

Like, it wasn't like now how we go out.

And then our back cars broke because somebody just pulled up to the club where all the is at and did it.

Yeah.

Like, it was like they went to like the tourist spots.

So they went to wherever the case may be.

So I'm like, shoot, I'm out here in Santa Rosa.

We go up to like the little Rohner park areas or the nice little areas in Santa Rosa with the houses.

You feel me?

We just go out there late at.

Night and that just make more sense.

What you gonna get in the hood?

Like, I'm just.

I just confused.

Some fake bags or stupid stuff.

I don't know.

I didn't even understand it was stupid.

We should not even be doing dumb stuff like that.

Like, it was just young and dumb.

So he ended up getting caught.

You feel me?

While I'm at work.

Cause I had a 9 to 5 at the time.

So he ended up getting caught.

And then clearly, you know, gramps wasn't happy with that.

Was like, oh, this ain't never happened till you moved here.

So then they end up giving me the boot out of.

They ended up giving me the boot out of it.

But I was always a good kid.

It wasn't like I was doing it trying to be like, tougher.

I was just like, I wanted some new shoes.

Yeah, I wanted to get some new shoes.

And it was like, oh, I know a quick way to get some money, you know what I'm saying?

Like, little young, dumb nigga shit.

Like, I always knew better.

It wasn't like I didn't know better.

My parents ain't teach me better no type of shit like that.

Like, I knew better.

I just wanted different.

Just immature.

Yeah, just immature.

Typical.

Typical, typical young nigga shit.

Yeah, basically.

But as I grew and got older, that's what completely stopped all that stuff.

So he got in trouble.

He ended up getting on like some type of like little probation.

Whatever you get from breaking in cars or whatever the case may be.

And yeah, his grams kicked me the out.

They.

They like you guys to go, you feel me?

And then my friend who was in San Jose had just got his own spot in Daly City working for a temp agency.

He's like, I'm working for a temp agency at this apartment complex.

They gave me a one bedroom.

So I'm like, it.

I'm finna just.

That was a blessing.

Yeah, I'm gonna just come out there with you now.

Was this the time where you were struggling with housing, like, as far as being homeless and stuff like that?

No, this was.

This was after.

So this was about to be the.

So that's why after, when she kicked me out, I was like, yeah, I don't wanna go through that no more.

Yeah, I don't wanna go through that no more.

Like, I'm about to escape back to D.C. and he's like, no, no, no, you can come stay with me.

That's a cold feeling.

So the first time through that was when I was younger and it was like, it's one of those things that you don't understand till you go through it.

About how low you could really just feel about yourself or just feel about.

Like you blame yourself for everything.

Cause you still young, so you don't know that the world just got circumstance or like certain things are going to happen outside of your power.

Like you could do as good as you can do, but like, you may still not get the results that you want.

Like, when I was young, I figured if you really did what you were supposed to do, you would get the results that you wanted.

That is true.

You feel me?

So when I figured out didn't work like that, it was like, you know, you'd be hard on yourself.

Like, damn, I Should have did this.

Damn, I should have did better.

Damn, I should have did this, this, and this.

So it's like, it's a mentally jarring thing to go through things like that, just to be that low and kind of be like, damn, like, what I'm even do tomorrow.

Like, I know tomorrow's coming.

But it's like, I bet you it built you, like, that was a hardship that, you know, created the man in you now today for sure.

That's why I'm so calm now, so chill now.

That's why I don't do no type of negative stuff.

That's why I always try to be positive.

Yeah, 100%.

Because like, bro, when people be like, oh, yeah, you do all the party stuff.

You do all of this.

I'm like, bro, if you really know what this shit is, like, you really seen what this shit on like, like some crazy levels.

You seen some shit.

You, you, you not gonna want to be with this shit.

Like, I don't want to say it's gonna turn you into a dancing, but if you start to get popping, you like, bro, I'm about to make party songs and fun shit, bro.

Like, I don't even wanna.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't even wanna.

Cause, bro, I'm not cut for that.

You know what I'm saying?

Some niggas is cut for it, and I give them props and I applaud for it.

It's like, yo, I'm a real ass nigga.

Cause I know I'm not cut for that type of shit.

So instead of pretending to act like it and trying to be all in they face when they doing what they.

Doing, I'm just gonna be the party guy.

Yeah, yeah, exactly like, yo, I know what y' all doing.

Y' all gotta go on.

I'm gonn bring some funding and bring some energy.

Cause y' all ain't even trying to get mixed up with all that kind of stuff.

If something happened, y' all g enough to take a rap, I'm gonna go through it.

I'm bro, that I ain't cut that cloth.

You know what I'm saying?

I ain't cut that cloth.

So it's like, most people ain't gonna tell you that, right?

They gonna try to act tough all the time.

Nah, I ain't telling nobody.

Nah.

That's why I got no problems with nobody in the Bay.

That's why all the rappers, all the promoters, everybody.

Yeah, they love it.

They respect it.

Cause it's like, yo, he Stay in his lane.

He do what he do.

He don't never try to act like no.

He don't act like nothing.

He not like what you gonna get from him is exactly what you gonna get.

What he rap about is exactly what you gonna see this do when you run across him.

Do you have any kids?

No, I ain't got no kids.

Really?

Fit to be the big four.

Oh, come on, man.

I don't know how I survived this long, really.

And I'll be seeing them girls you be having on there.

They be on you.

The little cute little ones.

They be on you.

I'll be seeing it.

Amen.

No babies.

You want babies?

Yeah, we'll see.

See, See, it's like, I don't got a problem.

It ain't.

I don't like kids, right?

Cause I'm the oldest brother.

So it's like, you feel me?

I got hella little.

You know what I'm saying?

Hella little tadpoles.

Yeah.

My sister got kids, my nephews.

I love my nephews.

My DJ and all they kids, I treat them like, you know what I'm saying?

I'm the big uncle, you know what I'm saying?

Come around, give them little noogies, run with them, all that type of stuff.

But mom, it's a responsibility and a big one.

Yeah.

And it's like, do you see it.

In your future at least?

I gotta.

It's almost like I gotta like somebody first, kinda.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, I gotta like somebody like.

So you're single?

Yeah.

Okay.

So it's like, I gotta, you know.

Ladies, he's single.

You wanna yike?

Let's do it.

So it's like, yeah, I gotta, like, to that degree.

Like, of course I like people, right?

I'm ain't gonna front and act like it ain't no good woman in the world and not no good woman I ran into.

It's plenty of great women, but I just ain't never ran into the point where it's like, oh, this is who I'm gonna marry.

This who I'm gonna be with.

And this is who I wanna have a kid with.

You feel me?

Well, you're still young, you know, I got hope, you know?

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna get there eventually.

I don't think.

I'm not a. I don't think this world is like, worse.

You know, A lot of people, they like, man, nowadays, relationships, these people.

I'm like, man, every generation, bro, it's.

What's for you, is what's for you.

Yeah, I go to the grocery store every day.

I see families in there married, bro, go to your apartment complex and knock on the door.

80% Of everybody in there is married.

Are you in a relationship?

In a relationship or this on you running around saying it ain't no more good people like how the hell I'm in the line in for amusement park and it's hella families in this.

How they find all their families.

You're going to manifest that a lot of women that I may be around that got trauma and going through girl f these dudes, they ain't cool.

But that's.

If you continue to say that that's.

What you going to get 100%.

That's what I'm saying.

Get married and meet me a good husband.

Just like you.

If you, you are what you believe.

That's what I'm saying.

That's what I've been telling all my friends.

No 100% I believe in manifestation, all that type stuff.

I meditate every single day.

Not a day go by that I don't meditate.

So that's why I be telling my bros, I'm like bro.

And they be like, man, all these women are horrible.

Like bro, there's a million bajillion good women.

It's just for whatever reason your experiences, you're not coming across them, you are doing something that's not attracting them.

You know what I'm saying?

That's true.

That's all it is.

It's like salt sitting down saying, oh, ain't no bees coming to me.

They attracted the honey.

Yeah, that's fact.

They just, you know what I'm saying?

Like you gotta attract what you trying to get.

So it's like if you.

And then a lot of people that do it don't like taking accountability.

It'll be a shady person doing shady, shady.

And 80 people running a shady business, you feel me?

Doing 80 things.

It didn't say I can't find a good person.

Like good people don't hang out where shady are existing.

I literally was just saying that.

Like you gonna have to find somebody that's just bad but has the same characteristics as you.

Like you're not gonna find a good person dancing with the devil.

You're not gonna find an angel.

Not gonna find it.

Yeah, you want a God fearing man, but you at the club, at the strip club down in East Oakland on this just where I don't think.

No, no man, that's going be to.

He ain't gonna be there.

He Ain't gonna be there.

Exactly.

I was just saying that you have to surround yourself with people that you admire.

That's.

We call it a winning circle for surely.

So I think when you, you know, surround yourself with that type of crowd, you're gonna attract that type of crap.

Exactly.

And then that's when you never know who's gonna come.

Cause that's like, anything people don't realize.

It's like, say, like, if I'm hanging out with the wrong people, right.

But I'm a good person.

It's like, people think, like, ain't nobody.

If it's a pack of lions, you think someone gonna sit here and try to decide which line is the good one out of the whole pack of lines.

Nah, lions is known to do this.

So even if you not gonna do that, they're known to do that.

So I'm not gonna complain.

The jungle, you know what I'm saying?

Like, I'm not gonna complain at all.

So that's why I've been trying to tell my friends, like, oh, a lot of people that are.

We'll just say that a regular.

That's how they think.

You know what I'm saying?

It's like, yo, that's too much of a risk.

Or, ah, that looks nice, but it's just too much of a.

And they're like, dang, I only attract bad people.

That's like, well, what's the content that you're talking about every day, even if you're playing?

So say, like, if I'm a guy and I'm like, oh, I just want to get money out of.

But I'm playing.

It's like, do you think any girl that's really a nice girl will find that joke funny?

Like, she ain't gonna.

Only girl that's gonna find that joke funny, is it?

Is the type of girl that that joke applies to that part.

You know what I'm saying?

I like how you put that.

And there's nothing wrong with that if that's what you're going for, right?

Correct.

Like it.

Ain't everybody got something for something.

But it's like.

Like, don't put out, like, bait for goddamn tuna.

And then get mad when you catch a motherfucking.

You know what I'm saying?

Sea turtles and shit.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, that's not the bait for everything in the world and nature work like that.

Like, you folks facts.

That's facts.

I like that you said that.

Now, I am curious when you said the difference between La Cause it's still West Coast.

Oh, yeah, it's always West Coast.

Love the West Coast.

You feel it's West Coast.

But I'm curious to the difference.

Like you said, the BAE in la, now, I know they do Gang Bang.

I think little, you know, Lil Easy was on the show and he was saying how, you know, it's different with Gang Bang, for sure, but it.

It's.

It's this.

It's.

It's kind of the same out here, too.

Like, it is, but it's, you know, it's a little different.

This is what I could say from.

What's the difference is what I want to know.

This is what I'll say from my perception, because, like I said, I. I lived in LA for a little bit.

I'm not from la, though.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

So it wasn't like I was on this street corner.

This street corner.

I don't got, like, a.

A valid perspective to, like, give.

Like, if I could give a valid perspective of somebody who just lived there for a little bit, it wasn't with the shit, right?

It's like, okay, like the Bay Area, we can go to a function and it could be at a bar, and, like, it'll be the baddest bitches in the bar, the baddest hoes in the bar.

You know what I'm saying?

And it could be a nigga that come in with just a white tee and his haircut, but he's still cute and handsome.

He could still pull that bad bitch if he got the right mouthpiece, right?

In la, that bad bitch ain't in a bar.

That nigga ain't in a white tee.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, they.

It gotta be, oof.

Like, it's almost like it got it to me right from my perspective, like, it gotta be bigger than life.

Like, even when you see them on the podcast, they like, man, don't nobody dance in the clubs no more.

The club seems dry.

They just stand in vip.

I'd be like, where?

Every time we go outside, you'd be seeing my.

It's popping in the base.

Still.

Even if.

Even if the party's kind of dry and it's only 20 people in there, you still see them in there?

Yeah, they doing.

Yeah, it could just be a bar showing the warriors game.

And they say, oh, the crowd at the warriors game and is in there.

Yeah, going stupid.

Yeah, going stupid.

You feel me?

So it's like, oh, yeah, in la, they.

So they just bougie.

I Guess you do.

You could.

I'll say that.

But that's their culture.

So I don't know if that's bougie or if it's just la, you know what I'm saying?

Like, it'll be bougie if.

If the Bay started acting like that.

Because, like, y' all don't act like that.

Y' all from the town.

Yeah, for sure.

You feel me?

So it's like, even in la.

Like, I remember when I was down there, and I think we seen one.

I won't say no names.

Gotta be forgetting I'm a rapper now.

So me saying the name is like, I'm dissing somebody.

So we seen.

And I'm juiced to see him.

Like, oh, that's blah, blah, blah.

And they like, man, that's what that driving.

Oh, that's what.

But.

And I could be in the Bay.

We could see whoever this could be walking down the street, chilling.

They like, oh, bro, that's.

Hey, go up to him.

What's up, bro?

I respect what you do.

And, hey, Big for the culture.

You a legend.

Much love.

They don't care what the nigga got on.

They don't care how the dress.

They don't care nothing.

And in the same thing, like, the Bay Area, like, our music scene is super like the Bay Area.

You could be a for sure.

Like, you could be a nigga like me.

Like just a chili square nigga getting money.

And everybody will still respect you.

You could be a weed smoker, hippie.

Everybody's still gonna respect you.

That's true.

You could be the street gangster nigga.

They'll still respect you.

As long as you're being what you tell us you're being, they gonna respect you.

LA is like, n. You gotta be this or we on your ass.

Oh, nigga, you gonna do this?

Nigga, you a square, then you a sucker.

You'll never get nothing if you ain this and this and this.

You feel me?

I done been in a room with hella beiges and they talk about something.

I'm like, oh, nigga, that ain't for me.

I'm finna get up outta here.

All right, blood.

Yeah, this ain't for you anyway, then.

Cause I'll hit you later, you know what I'm saying?

Like, they don't got no offense.

And I'm like, oh, nigga, I'm not cut out for this.

They like, okay, thanks for letting us know.

Get up out of here.

You tell a LA nigga I ain't cut out for you.

A Bitch ass nigga, you, you know, like, they, it's like, you feel me?

It's just way more tough.

I feel like that actually sounds rewarding being from the Bay Area.

One thing I learned being from the Bay growing up all my life life, you just, I think with us, you stay in your lane.

You respect it, facts don't.

When you hop outside the lane, that's when stuff you can get.

Yeah, that's when for sure.

But if you in yourself and stay, mind your business.

Larry June kilos, pricelesses, All Blacks, there's you good range.

Kalani to hers.

Like, the range is so vast, cuz.

It's like each of these people are them.

Like when you talk to them, they, they personality.

When you watch them online, they personality.

Fake up in the town.

Like, like, I think that's why people flock to us.

Like, we are genuine, we authentic out here.

And most importantly, y' all know I'm working on my.

Myself and everything, but we don't give a, you know what, 100%.

And I think authentically be us, period.

And we don't care what they.

It seemed like each rapper's selling personality is their actual personality correct.

You know, some people say, oh, they got had a bit of a side of this.

Or it's like, oh, go look at the background history.

It's like, man, he was talking like a gang banger and he was never banging.

It's like you don't really get those stories from Bay Area rappers.

Like, it'll be like, oh, he went to this high school, he went to this to play football.

And then they could tell you himself like, oh, yeah, I used to play football.

I used to this like, it's no shame.

And nobody's past the history for being a regular per.

Exactly.

Private.

Prime example.

Prime example.

You know what I'm saying?

It's like, yo, long as you, you ain't tripping.

Whether if you was selling pussy, whether if you was goddamn breaking it, whatever you was doing, we don't give a damn long as you standing on what you doing and say, hey, this is me cool.

We actually highly respected for that fact.

Because I feel like I can kind of understand what you say about la.

All due respect, we still west coast.

We not this.

And we just talk about the difference.

Reality though, it's fabricated.

But I will say out here though too, we got, we got something that be kind of fabricating on the gram and all that.

Everywhere.

It's definitely fabrication everywhere.

We are more.

I feel like, like you said, we are more authentic and we don't really care what people think.

Like LA is prestige.

Like, everyone you know are being.

They're judgmental or they.

They're being watched because it's a celebrity town.

All the celebrities go to LA first.

When you say west coast, they say Bay Area now.

And honestly, shout out to E40, I feel like him and Too Short is the ones that put us on the map.

Oh, yeah, definitely all day with Hyphy movement.

And now all the other.

I think me and Lord Rat was talking about that.

Shout out to Lord Rap.

We was talking about that.

Literally how a lot of the times they still are culture.

The hyphen movement.

And I'm gonna say it.

Oh, listen.

Okay.

And they still.

This is the.

We been Yiken.

We've been.

We started it.

Listen.

100.

Like, and this has come from somebody who's in the military, right?

So I got to move around.

And this is why I always tell people like.

Like, so they think sometimes it's just like a prejudice because I come from the Bay now and I love debate.

They're like, oh, you just.

It's like, bro, I moved around my whole life going to the Bay area included from LA's.

I got my first driver's license in Cheyenne, Wyoming, you know what I'm saying?

My mom's from Queens, you know what I'm saying?

My pop's from Buffalo, New York.

My grandpa's from Harlem.

You know what I'm saying?

I just came back from Harlem.

Yeah.

So it's like, bro, I got to move every single where from LA to this and this and this.

And I could say 100%.

Washington D.C. is my second favorite place.

Washington D.C. is fire.

I need to go there.

I haven't been.

Yeah, Washington D.C. is fire.

So shouts out to the Capitol in D.C. is fire.

That's why I learned a lot of hustle at too.

But the Bay Area, bro, we started.

It's when I say the uniqueness is like.

Like it's like nothing.

Like it.

Yeah.

Like, it's like.

Okay, I'll say this.

It's words in DC that they say in DC that I've never heard nobody say outside of dc.

Like, name one.

Like, they'll say like junk.

You know what I'm saying?

They might say Chicago.

They say like, jump for something.

Like, oh, this junk is.

It almost sound like it would be saying junk, but it's like junk.

So they'll say something like that for like, U N T. Yeah, sound like J U N T. But like when they punch somebody, they'll say glass.

Like, oh, you got glassed.

Ah, yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Okay, yeah, for sure.

So it's like I'll say that when I was around in the, like, I didn't really hear those words.

Even when I went to like New York.

I want to hear like those same words necessarily travel to D.C. or even in Baltimore, right?

D.C. and Baltimore this close together.

And it's like the in.

In D.C. ain't saying Baltimore words.

You know what I'm saying?

But it's like I came to the Bay, I go to every city surrounding.

They're all saying Bay Area.

Like I'm in vape.

They saying hella.

Oh, that's dumb.

You can hear.

Yeah.

Every single wear where it's like, bro, I lived in New York.

They're not stealing New York language like this in like Florida.

Like Florida ain't really saying hey, son, hey, this and this and this.

But it's like Florida are saying hella now.

Now.

Or Florida are saying, oh, that's smacks or you know what I'm saying?

Or oh, that's slap.

Especially slap.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Everybody's saying that they had it mixed.

Up, but they were saying food slap for a minute.

You remember that on Tick Tock?

Absolutely.

So that's what I'm saying.

Like whatever they call eating food in Chicago, we ain't calling it whatever they say music is.

When it bumps in Chicago, we say smack.

That's what I'm saying.

Smacking.

Yeah, we say smacking.

They were saying slapping.

They still try to mimic what they took off.

They even did it wrong.

But I'm not saying it in a bad way.

I'm just saying that they.

That's what I realized.

When I would go other places, it was always Bay Area words or some type of Bay Area thing.

But when I come back to the Bay Area, in the Bay Area ain't trying to talk like no, like even love la, but even like LA takes a lot of the Bay Area style in the Bay.

Ain't wearing khakis and chucks and low riders.

Like we ain't take a goddamn thing from the nigga style.

Like same thing from like Detroit maybe a little bit with like the glasses and the beat style and all that type of stuff.

But for the most part it's like.

We got everything fashion.

Yeah.

We're not.

We're not necessarily taking other people's styles when they come here.

But you'll go to other places and you'll hear some of the Bay Area sty.

Silent side of it, which is nothing wrong, right?

Because that's hip hop.

But it's just you still got to give the Bay Area its credit for that, though.

You know what I'm saying?

That's all I say.

Give us our credit.

Fact.

You know, jerking movement started from the whole Bay Area sound.

Because, you know, I'm 43.

I be trying to keep up with you.

I'm jerking.

Oh, yeah.

Jerking.

You're a jerk.

You're a jerk.

Okay, my bad, my bad.

I gotta keep so many you, right?

The jerk.

Oh, yeah.

So I think now it's just considered like a West coast sound, though, you know?

Absolutely.

I don't want to be a Bay Area Harper and be like, it took our sound.

They dissing this and this.

Because it's all West Coast.

So I think it's really like a West coast sound now, which is dope.

But the origination of, like, the kind of 808.

Yeah.

And the claps and this and this and this.

The first sound I was ever hearing it when I was traveling around was definitely like the Bay Area, you know what I'm saying?

Like, that's the first time I heard.

And I'm like, oh, like, this is.

This is it.

Yeah.

Like it stands out.

Shout out to the Bay Area.

So shouts out to the Bay Area, man.

I like it.

I like it.

Well, listen, I'm so glad you came.

And before we go.

Cause I just had to get you on here, you know, Like I said, I deal with the foster youth and, you know, you've had it.

You had a tough little life coming up.

You know, I did my research on you.

Just, I think being, you know, home to home and moving around, dealing with, you know, maybe a strict home with moms trying to do her thing and pops moving with military.

That's a lot on the kid.

And then you got siblings, you know what I mean?

So I think I always ask my guests a few things.

One, do you think you found your purpose?

Yeah, I think that I have found my purpose in a weird way.

And I think it sounds crazy, but my purpose is to exist.

You feel me?

And then I'm gonna do good through that because I have a good heart.

Like, I'm a good person.

You feel me?

Like, I don't try to.

I don't argue with nobody.

If I don't even know when's the last time I got into an argument with somebody.

My nigga, DMACC, RP.

My DMACC.

He passed.

We was friends since he was 17 years old.

18 Years old.

He died.

Never seen me argue with nobody.

Wow.

Never.

Never seen me mad.

Never lose my temper.

Like, wow.

You feel me so.

Well, you know, y' all water signs are known to not be confrontational.

Yeah, Like, y' all just let it.

I already know how y' all get down.

Y' all not confrontation.

I'm not the toxic at all.

I never been in a toxic relationship.

Y'.

All.

Y' all flee the scene before it even.

Yeah, yeah, Complete calm, man, I'll argue you don't butt heads with nobody.

I've barely been in physical altercations with people.

Like, I like the barely in front of that.

Yeah, yeah, barely.

Barely.

You know what I'm saying?

Barely.

You know, because when I was younger, it used to be a little bit more just.

Well, you were young.

You were young.

Exactly.

That don't count all the time.

But yeah, as you find your purpose and you grow and you find out your purpose, then, yeah, that's when you start to calm.

You start to be like, man, whatever.

My purpose is to exist is not to be evil.

It's not to be me.

It's not to inflict pain.

It's not to like, terrorize on nobody.

Just love.

Yeah, just love and fun.

So that's why I make the fun music and all that type of stuff.

Well, what can we see from you in the next, let's say, two years?

Oh, man.

Cause I know you're a rapper.

We need another Yiker, right?

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Next two years is like, I can't even tell you what the next two years like.

Just blessings.

You feel me?

Like, I'm gonna just continue to just try to work as hard as I can and be the best person I could be and just try to just.

Any new music?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

100%, Duh.

I tell the people this.

You already know.

Come on, man.

The new album is dropping this year.

The party never ends.

I know everybody been waiting for it.

I got hella means of views on songs, but I barely drop albums.

But it's only cuz I be DJing, throwing parties, like, doing hella stuff.

So I feel like everybody see what I'm doing.

But then they'll be like, when's new music coming?

I'm like, I thought you was happy just going to parties.

They'd be like, no, I still want slaps.

You feel me?

Like, I thought you was happy just dance videos.

They be like, no, I still want.

You know.

So I'm like, okay, cool.

So it's coming this year, this year is like, I'm being a full rapper this year, where I'm like, I'm gonna just drop hella stuff.

Not the full rapper.

Yeah, Like, I'm hip hop.

It don't stop.

This year, like, I'm dropping the albums, the mixtapes, the whole nine.

You feel me?

Like, listen, do it all.

20, 26 Rapper, DJ dancer E40.

Stay behind him.

You know, that's a good look.

I'm sure he believe in you.

Yeah, it's been fun dancing for E40.

40.

Oh, I bet that's been dope.

Oh, that's bro.

E40 is like, that's super dope.

1.

He was one of my favorite rappers growing up.

So just to even be a dancer for one of your favorite rappers, he hella cool.

That's the thing.

Like, he hella chill.

Like, sometimes you'd be like, damn.

Like, you forget you with somebody that's like a legend and just the ambassador.

And so.

Because he's just so down to earth.

So chill.

Hella funny.

Like, bro, it's a blessing.

Every time I'm around this, I'll be just soaking game.

Just like.

Like, I'm around you, 40, bro.

I'm just appreciating the moment.

Yeah, I'm just.

That's big.

I'm just basking in the moment.

Being around this.

I love to see.

Just like, back to what I said, the winner, circle 100.

That's how you.

You stay in circles like that, then you know it's gonna rub off on you.

You know, your.

Your creativity, your thoughts, the things that you want to do in life.

It will start progressing because you see it in front of you.

You see what I'm saying?

So shout out to you, my good guy.

I love it, man.

Shouts out to you.

I've been seeing all your podcasts, seeing what you're doing, man.

You've been putting on for the West Coast.

Thank you.

You know what I'm saying?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Putting on, you know what I'm saying?

So it's great to have some.

Some of this type of content stuff going on out here in the west to have these types of conversations.

Well, I'm kind of almost the first female to do it, I think.

Yeah, you might.

As far as the podcast thing definitely might be.

I'm just playing.

Let me not.

Let me not do too much.

No, you.

You might be.

First YouTuber was getting indie.

We always have to recognize that.

First YouTuber in the Bay Area was get indie.

Y' all not never gonna forget about getting indie.

Get Indy started all this social media.

Y' all was watching.

Indy trying to learn how to dance.

We ain't never gonna forget about Indie.

I don't care.

That ain't no all time.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Put respect on you, respect on my girl's name, man.

None of this would exist without.

Get it.

Indie would be watching.

It's crazy you said that because, you know, with the YouTube thing, I just kind of started mine too.

I got my little 5,000 fucking disguise, you know, I'm trying.

There you go.

Shout out to Percy, who's been helping me with that, you know what I mean?

And so I think, like, you gotta start somewhere, you know, Even me doing this to me, just cutting on the tv.

I think I just seen a post yesterday Day Podcast has taken over.

It's the new platform for everybody rappers for.

It's.

It's even more than dang near people listening to music.

Podcasting is it?

Then went up and so I started it, of course, like I told you, the mental health.

But my first one was Lord Rab.

Oh, that's your first one.

Watching and paying attention to.

And I liked his conversation.

I liked, you know, everything that he did on his.

And I was like.

So then I started looking.

I'm like, well, what females is doing?

And this.

You know what I mean?

I'm looking.

I'm like.

I don't see no females.

Shout out to though Quinta.

And I think her name's my.

Is it my Percy?

They're coming today too.

Those were the only two females I seen podcasting, but theirs is different from mine.

I don't feel like they kind of hood, you know, like, you know, I'm from the streets of you talking, you know.

Yeah, we all got our own little.

Little lanes, you know, but they're really cute and they're, they're.

They're, you know, stepping their game up.

So shout outs to them.

But it's just like.

Like, you know, it's a whole thing.

This podcast thing is a whole movement, as you can see.

This is serious.

This is like the new network.

It's the new network.

This is the new Network 106 and Parks, the new TRL.

Yeah, all that.

But it's good, though.

And I honestly, I look at it as.

It's really like, listen, if you got a sad story, you could tell it.

If you got a good story, whatever it is, it's just a platform to talk for.

Sure.

I like it because it's showing people that, like.

Like, we're all unique.

Like Everybody not saying everybody's a superstar, but it's like everybody's a superstar.

You can sit down here with every.

Anybody and it's like you're gonna hear that individual story, correct.

You feel me?

And it's like, I think people like that more than a script sometimes.

Or like being knowing that they're watching a movie, even though it's entertaining, knowing it's fake.

I feel like when somebody's talking about a story that you went through and you can relate to it too, and then you watching it, it's like kind of healing.

Yeah, it's healing for sure, 100%.

And then especially if it's not like not saying, you know, cause I'm a rapper, but not saying.

We're kind of all tired of, like, rappers and it's like we all tired of hearing famous people advice kind of.

Or like people try to act like life coach advice.

Or like we don't want to hear information from like.

Like, if I'm trying to lose weight, let's just say, right?

And I'm a big person.

I want to hear about losing weight from somebody else that used to be big and that's now skinny.

I don't want a nigga that's been skinny forever trying to tell me how.

To lose some other.

Cause you don't know.

You don't know each step that it's going through.

Like, you don't know each thing that, like, you don't know how hard it is maybe to stop eating this.

And I really like it.

You know what I'm saying?

It's other things that is with me that you don't know, cuz you already skinny type shit.

I like that.

That's the perfect analogy.

And I think that's why again, I stay in my lane and I just try to be a support system to everybody.

But listen, I thank you for coming.

My.

And you already know if you've really watched the ending on what I do, so of course.

Look under your seat.

This be my little favorite part of my little show.

Look under your seat.

I don't even know if.

You probably don't know, to be honest.

Oh, no, I. I thought.

I thought only one person got it.

I didn't know everybody.
