Alright, so first of all, you was mad hard to find on Instagram. I'm glad you changed your ad name. The real J.M. Was there a reason you changed your ad name? Because people couldn't find you, right? Yeah. Okay, because I was like wait, wait. Okay, so you went to the, so when you first went to the studio, you was in high school type shit? Yeah, that's the fact, high school. High school type shit?

It's 2023, like that, in the 2021. Okay. In the 2021, you probably started really rapping on the stools, making tracks, real tracks, to shoot and shit, like to shoot videos and shit. Okay. And how was your family feeling when they found out, like later, later? They found out when he was lit already? They found out right after like Niki. Okay. You mean like before that? No, I mean no, I ain't going to lie. I feel like, me personally, I feel like my mom and shit been knew I was rapping. She just never bought it up. Okay. But like after like Niki and shit, it was like, it was no way she could, oh, it was like, it was no way she couldn't bring it up. Okay. So after Niki, was you showing her your music or like, if she heard it, she heard it? Other people was showing her my music. Other people was coming up to her bringing me up. Her friends would tell her, her friends would tell her that, that her kids look up to me and she like that. Okay. So did you ever start playing her your music or like? No, I never really played her my music. Yeah, because you feel like it's not. Yeah, I feel like that's not what she want to listen to but for me, she is a poor me, but that's not her music. Okay. All right, so getting into the studio, I feel like y'all got your sound down pack right now. Y'all show mad love to y'all producer. How y'all met him? Like how that connected? It's another person from our block. Oh, he from your block? Oh, generated from one block. Oh wow. Okay. All right. So was y'all in the studio just trying shit? Nah, my son, him personally, he just, nah, he was fake rapping too. Like my first song was with my producer. Oh wow. My very, very first song, but then out of nowhere, I guess he just wanted to start producing. You know what I mean? He did his thing. He started making peace and shit. Okay. So it's like, so now that y'all, do you feel like everybody around you now is trying to rap? Yeah, I feel like more people around me now is trying to like do a little music and shit. But I jack it, though, cause for me. You jack all of it? Yeah, I'm jacking all of it. All of that cause for me. So you open the doors for them. More money for all of us. Do you feel like if somebody wasn't good, you would tell them? Yeah. I'm letting them just know. Especially if you want me to say, well, not this. Let them know it's not working out? Yeah, ain't gonna lie. Okay. That's good. That's good. All right. So y'all be making it clear, like y'all from Douglas, y'all not from Harlem. You know? So like what is it that like, I feel like Harlem, we remember them for the drip, for their charisma. What do you, what do y'all want people to remember y'all for? This dog Jersey shit. The new sound. This shit that we stint. This, this sound that everybody doing now. This all shit. And I want everybody to for me, remember that this is ours. We started this. Type shit. Okay. So before you were saying that like, you had never been on the plane before. I think you said that a couple months ago. But now you don't miss the Cali, Miami. Yeah. I've been on a few flights. So how you feeling traveling? What's it like out traveling? It's shit valid. I ain't gonna lie. I like traveling. I like leaving and shit. You like leaving the town. Yeah. I don't like being here. Favorite place Miami or Cali? Or you've been somewhere else? No, but out of those two, out of those two. Miami, you had a time. You broke your phone. All types of shit. I ain't gonna lie. I feel like I got more resources than Cali. But Cali pain too. Like I had a good time in Cali too. Okay. But I feel like there's just more people who go to Miami. People say Cali's good for work. Yeah. Miami's for fun. Yeah. People, I was about to say like more people go to Miami. To chill and shit. Yeah. So you're just chilling and having different vibes and shit. Okay. So going up right now, what do you feel like is the best part so far? My fan base growing. Growing? Yeah. Like I peep and growing. I peep people. Like people just be knowing me outside and be wanting pictures. I feel like that's the best part of everything right now. It'd be kids. It'd be all ages. It'd be kids. It'd be people of my age. Type shit. Gangsta. Yeah. So what's the worst part? You feel like with all this new attention. The worst part is the haters. The new people that just don't like us. Because on some weird shit for no reason. Because we going up. Yeah. I should be crazy. I'd definitely be hearing y'all name a lot more. Yeah. I should be crazy. Yeah. Do you listen to the diss tracks about you or not? Nah. I probably hear it because somebody has sent it to me. Not the whole song. Probably like Sunday on Instagram. I'm probably hearing it. But I don't go listen to them shit. I don't pay them shit no more. I'll be getting tight. So you don't listen to respond. You just kind of like just see what the vibe is. You don't care to respond. Yeah. I should be getting me tight. Because we really be trying to get little for something. I should be making me mad. I don't go listen to diss tracks and shit. Yeah. I mean the last one I've seen where they actually say your name was Blackwood. I don't know. I must say ain't you all from Manhattan? Couldn't that be like? I don't know where he from. I don't know where I'm from. Type shit. Okay. So did you see Crooklyn List? Yeah. That's a fact. And you was number 11. Got eyes? Yeah. It was DitoSamaS.Cow, Kenzo, M-Row, E-K, Doodywell, Shaji, Tata, Bloody U, and then TG. Oh shit. It's a lot of... That's crazy. It's a lot of niggas that's not better than me that's before me. How many? It's a few. More than three? It's more than three. I ain't come a lot. I ain't about to do that. But for me though, that's crazy. Number 11 is crazy, but I feel like I proved myself. Okay. I don't even want to loot it though. I spoke to Crooklyn. Matter of fact. So y'all good? So you and Crooklyn good? I don't even want to loot it. I spoke to Crooklyn. That's Brody right there. Crooklyn bro, but you feel like you should be higher? I am. Like... 100%. And your eyes are on Crooklyn? His eyes. Okay. So he copped it on the phone. Type shit. Okay. I said no, Crooklyn. You know I stand on your shit. That's crazy. Nah, I ain't say that though. For me though. Alright, so that list went fake viral or whatever. What do you feel like makes a good artist? You've got to be what the people want to hear. Even if certain people think you're white. If your fan base is higher than a lot of others, and a lot of more people like him and your music than others, then that makes you a goddess. It's not specific shit that makes people a goddess. Everybody rap different. Everybody got different techniques. And certain people go up. Not everybody go up though. Certain people go up. So you feel like Anika could go up if he's not lyrical? Yeah, like... Something you should be catchy? Yeah, like... You just... People just got to like how you sound. It could be catchy. Blowing up. You're not even saying nothing. Type shit. It just be a vibe. What do you feel like is your best verse? Because on TikTok it's controversy on what your best verse is. Some people say... I don't know. I got a lot on release. So I don't know. So out of the ones that's out though. Because people say spin back is your best verse. What's spin back? Oh yeah. I was about to say that. The mic performance. Yeah, I was bugging on that. I feel like that's my best verse. But I feel like 150 is better. Nah, I feel like 150 I was just flowing with it more. I feel like spin back I was talking. I know it's more shit. I just can't think right now. Spin back I was talking though. That's pain. Yeah, that's what they say on TikTok. They say that's your best verse. I'm jacking out. So do you be on TikTok? Same shit. Here and there. I try to be on it a little more. I be on it here and there though. Yeah. So you know the UK guy, God's will. So he ranked you as his number one favorite sweeper. Are you surprised by that or do you feel like... Nah, my son... He just fucked a job? Yeah, I've been peeping him doing videos and shit. I'm not surprised. He really jacked us. Yeah. He do. And I didn't crew. Do you feel like you're the funniest? I don't know. I go viral a lot. Yes, you do. And I feel like you're about to go viral with the snacks. Because they always got you with some snacks. It'd be by accident. I'd just be hungry. I don't know. Yeah. My God's is funny though. They be having me crying. No, they definitely do. They definitely call you the funniest one. No cap. All right, so... And when y'all was first coming out though, people used to say y'all always sounded like... Did you feel like you have to work on sounding differently? Or you feel like you always sounded differently? Nah, I felt like I stuck to what I was doing. I feel like I never tried... Not even felt like... I could personally tell you I never tried yet to change the way I rap. So like, from jump when we first started blowing up, I stayed. You just stuck to what you know. So if we sound different now to people, then I mean it was just saying shit before. Okay. I think y'all doing separate tracks makes it... Show them. Yeah. Yeah, because when it was all three y'all, I guess it was hard to tell. Who's your favorite artist at this moment? Like industry wise. Anybody. I like Lil Durk. Okay. I know you said you want to lock in with Lil Durk. Yeah, he got to tap in. Okay. There's him locking in with DD Osama Barrio anyway? Nah, it's business. It's business. I'll never stop money. Yeah, because y'all stand on business too type of shit. I feel like I said that. Anybody get in the way of money is haters and those are ops. Okay. What is it about Lil Durk that you like though? My son relate to a lot of shit that me, that I could relate to. You know what I mean? And then I like the way he put his music. I like the way it sound. So I jacked my son. So you've been listening to the Durk for a couple years now? Yeah, that's a fact. I ain't gonna say mad long but I've been listening for a while. Okay. So do you feel like you got to be in the mood to listen to him or you got songs that like... Nah, like I fake only listen to Durk. I don't know pretty shit. I fake don't really listen to a lot of other people. I ain't gonna lie. Really? Yeah. I don't know a lot of songs by other people. I just fake listen to Durk. Besides y'all, y'all be like... Gangsta. Okay. And whatever happened with the tape? Is the tape even coming? Like what's happening? Yeah, I can talk. That's still in the making. That's still in the making? They're gonna get better and better. That's what it is. So y'all getting better so y'all keep changing songs? We'll be updating it. That tape is coming real soon to watch. Okay. Any confirmed features or they just got a wait on it? Nah, they gonna see. Some features on there. Pain features. So the old tracklist is done. It's a whole new tracklist? It's a new tracklist. They gonna be excited with this tracklist though. They gonna like it better than the old one. Is there any out of town artists? On the tape? Uh-huh. To be continued. Okay. Any girls? To be continued. Are you gonna lock in with some females? That's a fact. Who's on your list right now to lock in with? I don't know. I just feel like I don't really have enough specific people I want to lock in with. I just feel like males rapping with females just make bigger fan bases, make bigger views. I feel like people like watching that more when males is rapping with females. So I work with a lot of the females that's going up right now. Who do you feel like is nice? Who do you feel like is nice? I saw Kenzo doing that thing. She's bugging right now. Young Devon there was texting me about doing a track 2. That's my son. She's bugging too. Okay. And what do you feel like makes you stand out out the group? I don't know. You gotta know. Like come on. Like what do you feel like you do differently from everybody else? I feel like the way I rap is more different than both of my like than my son, Doc. Like people say I rap like a little faster, but I say like a little more shit. Like they flow is different than mine. Yeah they take more pauses. Like yeah. I feel like that's probably what's pointing me out the group more when people be listening to that shit. Okay. Are you working on other type of shit? Cause you said you still rap the same from when you first came out. Do you want to like change the song? Nah yeah. I'll be in the studio. Not singing and shit, but like I'll be in the studio rapping about other shit though. Like I'll be trying to slow down shit. I'll be trying to slow down the way I rap. I'll be trying to rap about different topics. Yeah. I've seen the, I forget the song name, but the video with the girl got sampled. Yeah. That was dilemma. That's called tell the truth. Right. So you're going to do more shit like that? Yeah. I'll be, I'll be trying to do more shit like that. And not even shit like that. I'll be more shit that even females could relate to talking about females. They're going to talk about girls? Like yeah. Like they don't even bother to be just about me with a female. It could be just about them. So they could relate to shit for me. I'll be trying to shit like that. Okay. Do you feel like you have a girl fan base? Or do you feel like it's more naked? So what do you think? Nah I feel like my fan base is the majority. Most likely males. Not probably males, but I feel like I do have a big female fan base too. Because I see it for myself. Yeah. Like on Instagram and shit. Yeah. I think she and Nikki definitely helped all of that. Yeah. I do got a big female fan base. I feel like the male fan base is bigger though. It's mad male. It's mad little kids and shit. Yeah. Mad little boys. I mean, yeah. And it'll be like 18, 19 types of it. Yeah. So it's like all of that all together. So when you dropped tell the truth. Emily dropped that same week and he also did a Nelly sample. Do you feel like that was a coincidence? I think it's be watching New York artists and what's your thing? I don't know. I was crazy. You ain't know that? You saw that though? I saw it. Somebody show me it. You thought nothing of it? I ain't care. I mean, I ain't really think of it. It is crazy though. Like, like, damn I just did some Nelly's in it. Right. A few later he did that. It was literally I think the same week or the week after? One of them. Nah, I think I was thinking about it like nah, that's crazy. I'm thinking about it like nah, he did that. Do you any like out of town artists reach out to you? Like you see somebody being stories or anybody like from out of town that be hitting y'all up or hit you? I can't really think of none right now. But it be people like watching my stories and shit though. Watching face. Yeah, but a lot of people don't be texting me though. They don't hit you? Yeah, but I be seeing people like you. Do you think they're shy or scared or what do you think? I don't know like I don't know what it be. Certain people just don't text artists. They probably feel like I'm not going to answer. I don't know. Okay. But you're not Hollywood, you would answer. To me, certain people. Certain people? Okay. So like one thing I do like about you though is like, I don't know if there's ever any issues in a group but like y'all never take it to social media. Yeah. So do y'all talk about everything under wraps or they don't really be no issues? Nah, nah we do go to shit. I mean we going to shit is behind cameras. Yeah. It's not for nobody to know. So is that a red flag of niggas bring it to the net or like y'all have that talk before like this is done and it'll be good? Nah, we just never think about bringing it to the nascar shit while we bringing shit about us. Knowing we going up is mad people watching us now. Why are we even doing shit like that? Yeah. Is that annoying that so many people be watching y'all now or? Nah, it don't even be in the bad way so it's not annoying. I like it. I feel like I just look at people as fans. I just feel like I got a lot of fans. You got a lot of fans so you really have to watch what you do, watch what you say. The fact. So is that like do you feel like you're limited? You got to be more private now or you feel like you was always a private nigga? Nah, I'm used to it. So I don't even know like I'm used to this. This year my like my social media life right now is regular to me. I'm cool with it. It's nothing stopping me from doing shit. I still be talking about social media. Okay. And do you feel like the bitches change up? Are they like, because I remember it was a video that went viral. I guess you used to link some bitches and they had posted them. So like do bitches be like trying to post y'all when they with y'all or like y'all not with that? No phones. I only see females that are like functions. Okay, so. So like if females always record they self have functions. Okay. I don't take it no way. Females always show they self and they out doing something. Alright, but if y'all indoors though, if y'all in the crib together, she can't post you? Nah, females not about to just say record me. Hell no. I'm not jacking out. And if they do, red flag? She out of there. She out of there? Yeah. No question. And she got to delete that before she get out of there. That's the fact. What if you didn't peep? Like what if you were sleeping or something and you find out later? I got to address that. I got to get on time. I got to be mad. I got to get on time. Okay. Alright, so are y'all signed yet? Are you signed yet? Nah, I'm still independent. Still independent? Yeah, I'm just J-heim. So y'all thugging it? So y'all going to like keep being independent? What you think? It's a fact. Working right now. Do you want to sign a deal? Do you feel like you need to? Nah, not that I need to. It would be cool to sign a deal. I'm just not rushing it for me. Wait till something really. Something really worth it? Yeah, really. Are you big on signing a deal with your niggas? Or you feel like y'all can all do y'all own thing and still be locked in? What do you think? I feel like both ways are going to affect us in a good way. It's going to help us build. So either way it doesn't matter? Yeah. So you're not tripping? Like if somebody go before you? Yeah, that's a fact. I'm proud of my niggas regardless. Okay. Yeah, y'all seem very supportive of each other. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so y'all got the Jersey Dark Drill downpacked. Yeah, that's awesome. And y'all be showing Jersey artist love. Have they reached out? Because y'all ain't working no Jersey niggas yet. Nah, I never heard from none. I can't speak for Nas and my son, but I never heard from Jersey artists. I never heard from none. And I thought I'd be cool. And I thought I'd remember. I'll never really heard from Jersey artists. Do you care? Or you just on some like y'all had it, but we got it? Or you don't care? Nah, I feel like they, for Jersey they probably still, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I don't hear it. But like, I still get on their props. They still got things. Yeah. That's what I like. Because the Jersey shit we got is not their Jersey shit. The Jersey we got is Dark Jersey and Drill. They still doing their own little bop shit. Type shit. All right. So we did a song with, okay, can you explain this line? Trying to line me. You gotta be Rella. Are you never going to explain that? Or like, if you know, you know. For me. So Rella is like your type? Like, that's you on that? Or like, Booba and you seem cool though. So like, what's the? That's my son. So you were shooting your shot or you was trolling? Nah, I was trolling. Rella my son too. But if he wasn't your son, you on that? Nah, she had it. You on that? Nah, nah. You put her in that song. You don't mention her old body. Like, I'm curious. Nah, for me, that shit ain't even about nothing. That shit's just funny. And you said Spanish girls are your type. So I'm just acting. Yeah, I was trolling. That's my son. How you trolling? Yeah, that's my son right there. He know it about us. Yeah. Do you feel like you would ever get into like a public relationship though? Like seeing them? They kind of going out, you know? Oh, I got a phone. It gotta make sense. Yeah, that female gotta be perfect. Perfect. I don't even believe in relationships. Yeah, by the way, perfect is like an understate in my life. That's what I'm saying. I don't believe in relationships. Okay, that's what Nick is saying. All right, so you did a song with... You got the song with Boo, but ever came out? Nah. But the song with Prince Raheem came out? Yeah. And then you did a song with V Boogie, did y'all drop it? Nah. Okay, so I just gotta ask. I fuck with them, no shade, you feel me? But like, why you do the song with them? Because it's content. Content? Yeah. But like, you're an artist and you're like serious about music, so... I like you too. You like YouTube shit? I like watching myself. Okay. So you would do like vlogs and stuff? Yeah, and I like helping people. Okay. So they didn't drop it because they didn't drop it or like you just was busy or... Nah, that's... The bros ain't drop it, for me. Do you feel like you would do that again or like you did those three and ain't done? What, do you do what music? Yeah. Are the YouTubers and shit? Yeah. Except for content and shit? Yeah. And like, the booboo shit is recent, so... Yeah. It's not even fun and love. Yeah, and y'all cool, but like y'all do mad stuff, y'all do boxing, y'all do old stuff. That's what I'm saying, it's not... It ain't like we doing the music to really start a whole new rap career. We doing it just for fun. Just for fun. Yeah. Yeah. So, when you was boxing, they was like, do what? You don't be on TikTok, but like they was fucking them. They was talking about your stance when you be fighting. Was you fighting a lot? Nah, that's not how I really fight. I was playing with booboo. People think I was really fighting. You was just playing? Yeah, bro. Are you a fighter though? Like, did you fight when you was younger? I don't like fighting. You don't like fighting? I'm not a fighter. You shouldn't. Like, that's not a thing. Alright, so we're gonna play a game. So this game is called Trendsetters, so I'm gonna name a topic and you tell me who you think started that trend. Or who you know started that trend. Okay. So, Riz, who you feel like you've seen was the first person to say Riz? Yeah, I was about to say that. I don't know who started it, but like on Instagram and shit. Yeah. I was hearing like my son, wait, who? I was hearing my son, Mr. Don't Touch That saying that. Mr. Don't Touch That? I didn't have a million YouTubers on my Instagram, but I was hearing my son saying that a lot. I mean, he was a person saying that a lot. So that's who I was seeing, really saying that. Okay. And who you feel like started New York Drill Music? I feel like that started in... Or some of the first people. They could be more than one. Who's some of the first people? I feel like that started in Brooklyn. Brooklyn? 2014. Like, who's some Brooklyn artist you feel like? Who was out like 2014? 2015. It was people like... Who was out back then? Who was out back then? Like Chef G, you know? Yeah, like Chef in them, right? Chef in them was out back then. I was listening to Tutu, but like... Tutu in them was out back then. But it was niggas like... Curly Sad was dead out back then, too. You feel me? It was niggas like, can't be it. But I don't be hearing about baby in them shit like that no more. That's why I didn't really want to say it a lot, but it was... They was rapping, though. That was back then? And that's... That was the early movie. That's the fact. That's where the drill was at. That's what everybody was listening to. All right. Sample drill. Who you feel like was the first you heard on some sample drill shit? Sample beats, but on some drill vibes? Shawnee Bin Laden. Shawnee Bin Laden? Yeah. People don't beat y'all when they're not much love. How you heard about him? People on my block like him. Like him? Like he go viral a lot. Uh huh. People on my block, y'all listen to him. Shawnee. All right. The deep Batman voice, that dark shit. Who you feel like? I be doing that? Do you feel like you be doing that? People tell me I do that. To some extent, yeah. But who you feel like was doing it first? Who was the first person? I feel like we started that. I feel like because everybody uses their own voice to rap. Okay. So you're not faking it. That's your voice. I didn't say that. I said everybody uses their own voice to rap. I'm not saying that we came out and people be saying to be a sweeper you gotta have a deep voice. Uh huh. We started that rapping like that. That little demon voice shit. Uh huh. So do you feel like it's just a Bronx thing or do you feel like it's a sleeper thing? That voice shit? Yeah, the deep voice, the Batman voice. Nah, I feel like that's our shit. I heard a person or two in a Bronx do that. I feel like that's ours. Okay. We started that. That's fair. All right. Niki. What about Niki? Who started that trend? Who made that a thing? That's me. That's us. That's our shit. Like Stan Niki. Niki is us. Niki is me. Niki is Sweepers ENT. Type shit. All right. Treisha, who do you feel like you heard that from first?

When did you start seeing that? The Bronx. The Bronx? For the Bronx alone? Yeah. I feel like people was always dancing and shit. Like in Brooklyn, people were dancing and shit. Barely. Like getting sturdy. I think I feel like started like in the Bronx. So do you think it's a difference between getting sturdy and geeking or it's kind of the same thing? Nah. I feel like it's two different things. Okay. I feel like getting sturdy is doing shit. Yeah. Like really doing moves, but geeking and just bugging out in the video. Like just wilding. Just bugging out. Yeah. Okay. And Jersey drill. Who was some of the first people you heard on some of the Jersey drill shit? I don't listen to Jersey people, bro. I don't know a lot of artists from Jersey. I know D-Rose do Jersey drill. Yeah. Okay. That's really all I know. I know about being me, but I don't know that's drill. Like he talk about certain drill shit. Yeah. You mean? Yeah. And that's the last one. That was the last one. So how do you feel about the like drill divide, I guess? Cause like it's like it's over here. It's like it's over here. Everybody rapping, but like it's real separate in New York. What's your mean? You don't feel like it's separate? I feel like y'all work with everybody though. But I feel like it's certain things that y'all wouldn't work with. Oh yeah. It's a lot of haters out here. And it's a lot of people that rap. I don't like certain people. So they wouldn't do music with those certain people. And then it's a lot of people that don't like certain people. So that stops them from doing certain music. That stops them from doing music with other people. Cause they cool with like them. Okay. You know what I mean? What do you draw the line between like beef and business? Like what do you draw the line between? That's two different things. I feel like that gotta stay away from each other. All right. So when it's beef, what's they? Munching your mans. It has something to go down. I don't even beat beef. I should just be hating and wish it. I don't even beat beef. I should just be people talking. Okay. I should be sad. So what's the difference between like a hater and like your opp? Like your opp had to do something, but a hater just hate him. Or like what's the, you know what I'm saying? I don't know. I feel like the opposite person you've been had problems with. Personal problems. The haters are just people that just talk and don't even know you. Okay. So like you'll let a hater go by, but you won't let your opp go past type shit. It depends. It depends on the situation. Okay. Okay. That's honest. All right. So now y'all getting booked up for shows. Boston. We had Jersey. We had filming. How are you feeling like now? You got on the plane already. Now you're going state to state. I feel like this shit getting active. Is there any place that you want to perform? I want to go to the UK. Yeah. Yeah. I heard Riga Mad Fiends out there. Yeah. Do you listen to artists over there? Nah. I done heard songs from like Miss Boy Name Charlie C. That's his name. Central C. Whatever his name is. I don't know. I don't listen to him. And I know the boy beef with two. I heard like a song or two by them. But I heard like they viral songs. But I don't go search them up and listen to them. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah. Okay. All right. So. Filming. So the New Jersey show got rescheduled. We got a new day. Yeah. Right. That's a fact. Okay. I think it's August 30th or 29th. I forgot. I think it's the 31st. 31st, yeah. Wow. He got to get his dates. He's too booked and busy. He can't keep up. But like. Filming. Like I was there at the Jersey show or whatever. I feel like it was a lot going on that day. Yeah. It's a fact. Thankfully, you know, Shaji is okay. But like in that situation, no. Looking back at it, do you feel like there was anything you could have did differently or you feel like everybody did all they could type shit? No, I feel like we was all doing our part. Like we had the show bugging. Oh, yeah. For sure. She just went left. She just went left. Is that like, you know, you and Shaji, I feel like y'all been cool. Did you ever notice that or you didn't like, that was the first time that ever happened type shit? What? Did I ever see something like that before? Yeah. No, that was fake. That's why I was so surprised. That shit was crazy. That was what I ever felt. Looking back at it, do you feel like you would have still performed? So do you feel like in that situation, you could have still performed? No. Or it was too much on your mind where like. No, that shit scared me. That shit made me not even want to perform. That shit was scary, but I'm like, no, I gotta make sure he Gucci. Can't do no more performing. And then how did y'all find out he was okay? We took him to the hospital. So y'all went to the hospital after? Yeah, we went to the hospital. Okay, okay, okay. And then so you basically set up a lockdown and a new date. So basically you're gonna make it up to all those things. And we gotta make it up to the fans. Yes. Because they was waiting for a mad look. We got some for them. We got some for them. Okay. So you're gonna turn up in Jersey one more time. That's the fact. Make it a little bigger show. So like, you know, when that being happening, like, you know, like, I feel like being a rapper, it's inevitable. You're gonna smoke. You're gonna drink. All that shit is regular. But are you like a little bit more cautious now? Taking drugs and shit? Yeah. I don't even. You don't do too much? Yeah, I just smoke. I don't even do other crazy drugs. I be chilling. Okay. And so how do you feel like mentally? How do you keep up with like everything? Do you talk to your family? I'm sure. Yeah, I keep, I keep, I keep my people that I'm comfortable with close. So like, be around them a lot. Like, I'm not sure. I just make me more comfortable. Just being around them. Okay. So your mom's up to date on everything type shit. You talk to your mom about everything. Yeah. That's good. That's good. Let y'all have a good relationship. So like, Meena, you do music. All your friends do music. You know what I'm saying? Do numbers discourage you? Lots of me. Like if you drop a song and they don't hit a million views or it don't hit, does that bother you? I be overworking myself. I feel like I be stressing myself out. Because I do begin to tell you when I look at some of my views and I'll be like, like, why that shit don't got this. Like this shit was supposed to have this. I do be stressing myself out sometimes. I definitely do. So like, how do you keep peace, I guess, and all of that? Do you feel like you just got to keep working? Like, I'll get over it. Yeah. It's not going to ruin your day. Yeah. I'll look at it. I'll be tight. Mm-hmm. And then I'll just be like, I just got to go make some catchy show. I got to go make some party show. I got to go make something that they want to hear. I'm like, fuck it. I got to go make something else. Some better shit. Okay. Okay. You going up, watching your friends going up. I'm sure you know, you got peers going up, like, for me. So like, is there any, I don't want to say mistakes, but is there stuff that you see that should be like, yeah, I'm not doing that? I'm like, I know, like, working in my career, like, what to do moving forward. Like, did you learn anything from them, you feel like? Well, rapping, I've seen a lot of... It could be in business too. It don't got to be just rapping. Yeah, rapping, I've seen a lot of bad, bad, like, deals and stuff. Okay. That's another reason why I'm still independent. I know not to just sign anything. Anything. You feel me? I've seen a lot of people angry or shit. But for me, that's one thing I learned. Okay. So what does a bad deal look like? Have you seen a sign that he's still in the hood? Not a lot either. Or like, with what? Not a lot either. It just... So what does a bad deal look like? It don't even be shit that you can really see. It'd be inside personal shit that would make a deal, a bad deal, you feel me? That people, a lot of people don't know about. Okay. But I learned about a lot of that shit. Just rapping, being, seeing shit. I learned about a lot of inside deals, a lot of shit like that. Okay. And then, I feel like, you know, as y'all keep being people, I feel like people give you advice, people show y'all love and shit. What do you feel like is some of the worst advice you got? Like, what's some shit? Somebody tells me, like, this nigga's chatting. I'm... I... A person on told me to stop rapping about drill months ago. And that was before I even done hit, like, my second million song, my third million song. Yeah. And after that, I had like five different million songs. And I'm like, bro, he was chatting, really. Yeah. That's where I came from. This was bringing me up right now. This is y'all original shit. All right. What do you feel about blogs right now? Because I feel like blogs, we catching y'all every day, all the time. Do you like blogs? Do you don't care for that shit? Or like what? I like blogs because I feel like, like you said, it shows people what we do without the everyday basis. A lot of people think bad of us. And then blogs just show that we be having fun, be chillin' and shit. Yeah. Do you feel like it's some stuff that they should impose? Or what you feel? Not really. Because then again, there's logos that's respectful that they'll ask you about certain posts. Like, yo, I'm gonna block this out. Like if something happens while they're recording, like they'll tell you, I'm gonna block this out. I work with respectful logos. Okay. At the show, we had to stop mapping from recording. Yeah, but those be like fans and shit. Yeah, it'd be like we had fans and shit that I don't care about nothing. So they just still, those don't be vloggers. I'll be around. So the bloggers that still posted, do you like not fuck with them? I don't really know personally who was posting those videos. A lot of them are anonymous. Yeah, I just see shit like that on big pages. Like please don't like or shit like that. I don't see who personally, who got this video out. How the fuck can you get this video out? You don't care to like look for those people, right? Because some people are really mad when they post a business. It'd be me looking through 500 people. Yeah, and nine people will see it. Okay. Never gonna find them. All right. And then, so what are you working on right now? What's next? What should we look forward to this year? Just more, more, a little more Dolos and a little more singles and more videos. I ain't gonna lie. We got more group work coming too. Like y'all said earlier, the tape coming. Tape is definitely coming. Do you feel like you're gonna do part three to Niki? Get somebody on the remix? Or are you kind of like down with that song? Nah, it's gonna be a part three. You really gonna do part three? Oh, is he gonna put somebody on it? Or are you just gonna queue? That's a Dolly. That's you. This shit gotta be different. I feel like I'm not even about to do some OD drill shit on Niki part three. Okay. You wanna switch it up a little bit? Okay. All right, back.
