 I was in a real dark place, very dark place. My album is called Wicked Ways. I still got a tattoo on my back that say Mr. Wicked. They called me Black Ghosts. I had songs like Total Shock. And this is how we mob. If you ride with me, that mean you die with me. Tried to be on point at our times in the Mr. The Robber. And terrorizing these mobs. You know what I'm saying? That was how I was living. Like that was the environment I was around. We on Boss Talk 101. So I got to ask you about just that whole project you did on your own. The South Circuit of Mr. Mike. Now who got love for them ballers in them so-called Gs? Turn around, let me fix your collar, y'all get along with me. You know, how was that doing it by yourself? And when I say by yourself, having your own project coming out, was that the first and only one? Which one? The Wicked Ways? Yeah, yeah. Now I flew out to Oakland to do most of that album with EA Ski and CMT producers out of Oakland. OK, OK. You like them West Coast producers? I mean, I like East Coast producers. I just, that's who I was vibing with at the time. So hey, it is what it is, man. Wow, yeah. So you, like, on that, is that one of your favorites on that project? What's that? That Wicked Ways. The one with Cube, me and Cube? Yeah. I would say so, yeah, because Ice Cube on it. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, if he wasn't on it, I don't know if it would be, but because it was there. Did that make you, did you think that made, like, when you was doing it, do you think that that strung up some jealousy over the years? Because you think. Bro, I'm just that kind of, I've been jealous of me since I was a baby. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm just that kind of, I've been trying to figure it out all the time, you know what I'm saying? And I stopped trying to figure it out. I say, now you know what, I'm going to concentrate and make sure I get these things up to hate me for. I'm tired of not understanding why y'all hate me. I'm about to say, why don't it, why doesn't it affect you? I give you something to hate me for, so when the hate come, I'm cool with it, because I understand why you're hating. Mm, yeah. They're going to hate even more, but it's so crazy because some people can't deal with that. Some people crumble when they get hate. So you try to elevate when you get hate. Without the devil, we wouldn't really know the power of God. I love that. That's hard. That is so true. Man, when I look at the album and the cover, I'm looking at the cover of how you did it as a young man, a young mind, this was you put this together, right? Yes, sir, me and the label. And the label, what made you go with that whole look? Because I was that at that time, like I was really in a dark place. Yeah, yeah. I was in a real dark place, very dark place. My album is called Wicked Ways. I still got a tattoo on my back that say Mr. Wicked. They called me Black Ghosts. I had songs like Total Shock. This is how we mom. If you ride with me, that mean you die with me. Tried to be on point at our times in the midst of the ride, but we... And terrorizing these moms. You know what I'm saying? That was how I was living. Like that was the environment I was around. Like Wicked Ways. Wicked Ways, but... The world is evil. The world is Wicked, especially that when you come and start becoming a part of that music business and all that, and just coming from a little, a young girl from the country, from church. And this is Wicked as hell. That's another thing, because I hear a lot of people talk about the music industry. And so many people get discouraged because once you become into the music industry, no matter what level, or should I say the higher up you go in the music industry, they realize that it's so much, and this is from other people's personal mouth, they realize how much corruption is in it, how much hate, how much, I mean, deceit, how much fee-fury, you know, how true is all of that with your experience? It's very true, but it's, you know, it's, you can find some of that same stuff in the church. It's just a life. It's just the nature of the beast, you know what I'm saying? You gonna get the truth, you gonna get lies, you gonna get real, you gonna get fake, you gonna get love, you gonna get hate. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.
