OK, so like who are some people that you feel like you would like to work with in the future? Because you already mentioned like being on with friends. And on being on with friends, you had nothing but features on there. Who are some people that you would like to work with? Coming up. We on the talk of town, right? Of course. Shout out to my nigga, Matt Global, my nigga Nino. On the side, Nino. Gino Montana, 504, ether to connect. I'm saying my nigga JJ. So you don't, go ahead, I'm sorry, I don't want to kiss you.

OK, well, I'm just curious, because you are signed, you know, to Fabio's label. But you just mentioned him as somebody that you would want to work with. Why is it that we don't got no music from Yahoo? I say that just to bring it up there, like me and Fabio got a couple of shit done. They just not released yet?

OK, well, we're looking forward to it. That's crazy. All right, so you, in your song, you got a song with Lola, you like, it's the hips to me. Shout out to my nigga Lola Brooke, man. That was a buzz. That's my nigga Lola. How did that come about? How did you and Lola go? Slow, slow, man, she hungry like me for me and she, she shout to the all the female MCs out here for me that's going hard, I fuck with y'all for real. You fucking with female, right? Yeah, I'm jacking out, I'm saying. Who else are you jacking? I'm jacking out, I'm jacking Lola Brooke right now, I'm saying. That's it? Yeah, I just, it's sick to trade my nigga Kate Goddess. That's about it, I don't really, because the girls be like, I don't know if they think I won't fuck or whatever, but I don't know if they think I'm gonna throw up or whatever, but it's like, my door's open, my arms is open. But Lola was just more so like, I did the song and I wanted a feature, but I'm like, I don't want a nigga on it. I don't want no man on it, I don't want no nigga voice on it. I was thinking. I mean, with a song like that, I think it was appropriate for you to have. You know what I'm saying, I'm like, who I could put on this and just came to my head and I'm like, yo, hit Lola. I said, yo, what up gang, I got some shit for you. Sent it, that shit was done the next day. Oh, shit, this was on it, that's good. And the way she came with it, I was like, oh, I wanted to write up, I'm like, yo, write. Crazy, well, shout out to Lola. So in the vein of the song, for the people that want to know, what is it for you? When you looking for a girl, what kind of stuff is it that you looking for? Love yourself, I'm saying, don't get caught up in a hype. If you're going to hinge your shit, make sure you do it right, I'm saying. So you saying, no boss, BBOs. No, I'm jacking Lola, I'm jacking her, I'm saying, I'm jacking her. So what you mean do it right? Like for example, girls like to do makeup. To make you do what you like, make sure you look cute. You're saying, I'm like, you know what I'm saying? It's that for me and it's the face beat for me and it's just all type of, it's for me. So be yourself, baby. Okay, are you in a relationship? Yeah. Yeah, so how is it? I think that's so interesting. And how is it as like an upcoming, you know, you viral, everybody watching, how is that being in a relationship in trying to navigate your career? That shit, that shit right now, I ain't gonna lie, it's just like, I thought I could get away with shit. I thought I could get away with mad shit. You know what they say about what's done in the dark. I ain't gonna lie, she put a lot of like stops to like the way I was like moving and shit. Throwing game at me like nigga, it's done third and it just had me like, damn. A real woman, that's what a lot of you just need out here. So I tighten up. Okay, so, but it's been, how would you say overrode it has been to navigate though? It's good, it's good, yeah, it's good. Okay, all right, so you put on social media. Shout out to relationships, like let's get relationships popping, like it's just real, like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Nah, it ain't even about Durk and India, they just a relationship, like they just wanted them, it's real relationships, it's like those doors are real. Like let's normalize people being in relationships. People are jacking like side niggas, main nigga, main bitch, side bitch, like that's cap. Like think about it, back in the day, niggas used to have relationships, then they cheat. Get caught, tighten that shit up and don't cheat no more. Remember, it wasn't oh you're a side nigga, you got to go out cheating. Now it was a straight side nigga, get away with the side nigga. So it's a thing. You didn't normalize it. It's like a thing, yeah. So you heard it here first and I really think it's a first. Let's make relationships great at getting y'all. Okay, so you put it on your Twitter. I said y'all answer that, I'm saying the people that's pushing that, when you sing when you wanna do your thing, do your thing. Right. Relationship, relationship. Okay, well you got a good one cause you was talking about that for a little minute. I love that for you. All right, so you said being over 30 and looking younger than 30 is a flex. Is that applicable to you? I feel like I've met people that's like 32, 33. I thought it was like 24. Oh, I thought it was about you. No, how do you? I can't even tell you my age. I'm still a baby, I'm still a baby. I'm still a baby. Okay, well, I'm just gonna still ask you because it depends on what you consider to be a baby. Cause something that I would say is like I've noticed a lot of the upcoming artists and people who are lit right now, they're really, really young. So I'm just curious, like how do you feel about what hip hop, especially New York hip hop is looking like right now with, you know. Cause everybody. I'm jacking it, like I'm jacking the bop, like. Yeah. It's the meaner, like I'm jacking that flex, like for me, like it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, they trying to stop us, like for me. Who, who's they? I don't even wanna get into that part cause I got open cases of shit, but this, this is, this is hip hop now. That's what it is. Drow is hip hop. Drow is hip hop. What do you consider to be Drow? What, what is Drow to you? When you hear the word Drow, what does that mean? No, no, man. I'm saying like shit. With me, this shit come with indictments on me. Like this shit come with motherfucking lives being taken, niggas taking lives. Like, get lucky and get rich off this shit. You know what I'm saying? That's Drow. You know what I'm saying? It ain't talking about what he or she did. Cause you got females that drill too. Oh yeah, I know. So that's what that is. Okay. But, well, I'll leave that on. Okay, so you performed at Rolling Loud twice, which I thought was dope. You did Miami and you did New York. How, how was that? I said it was fun. It was real fun. You know why? Why? Cause I was nervous. You didn't look mute while you, you ate it. You was like. Check this out. Shout out to Connecticut. I did a show in Connecticut, two days before the Rolling Loud. And at the show in Connecticut, it was only like, it was like fucking like, like a good 30 people. Oh really? Yes. And I would say like at least 15 artists was performing. So it's like each person had just they people. It was two, two audience members. Type shit, type shit. And I was the only one that killed it. A few artists, a few other artists killed it, but I was the only one that like really killed it. You know, New York, nigga, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was having so much fun. Like I was having so much fun. I did a acapella and the Rolling Loud shit come about five, like random. Yo, you open it up for me. I'm thinking, Captain, yeah, yeah, yeah. He saw a call and they can say, yo, what you not being, this one, send this one. I went straight to the bathroom mirror. I'm in the bathroom mirror, I'm going over side to side. I'm rapping it, acapella, side to side. I'm like, this shit crazy, I'm gonna do it loud. Wait, so this is happening same day? This is the same day. Oh wow. This is the Miami one. Very. Get there, get to the stage. My mother fucking nerves. I don't know what the fuck. It's like my nerves are starting to get crazy. Yeah, yeah. So I seem to cry. I want to see the people.

It started being more focused that actually knew me pulling out the cameras, like the lights to the cameras. And I started seeing bad lights. I was like, it's Beano, Beano, I just ate it up. So Miami was fucking with you? I ate it up, shout to Miami, ate it up. So from Miami to New York, how was it performing in New York? They went crazy, New York went crazy because there's people, I know the security, I know certain niggas that's dead. They recorded me. My nigga T-Dot jumped in the stands. You know what I'm saying? I beat the T-Dot. Yeah, that shit was crazy. Both of them shit was fun. So you like performing? Yeah, I love it. I love it a lot because I was one standing in the audience looking at the performer, bro. So it's like, I love that shit so much. Like, if I could, I'd bring the whole audience on stage. Come on. I just love having so many people on stage. Why? Take your shirt off. Rip your braid out. Rip your braid out is crazy. So, OK, so since you love performing so much, what's like ultimate dream performance? If you could perform on any stage that has ever been created, where would it be? Gotta go with the legendary Madison Square. Madison Square. OK, hold on. So let me rewind that back.

Something that's already out there. Let's go with the, yeah, let's go with like the, the awards, the BT Awards. BT Awards. You type of stuff. All right, so that's, so we got that down. Now, if you, you already said Madison Square Garden, so we're going to set up a hypothetical scenario. You on tour, you could put four people on tour with you at Madison Square Garden because you said that that's your dream location. Who's going on tour with you? This is, this is industry and underground. Only industry. Mm. This talk of the town. Only industry. Yeah, because you're about to say all your friends. I'm going with my son, Favi.

You know, the cameras is mad fucking fast. So he took the picture right there. OK. So what has been like so far like your like the most memorable interaction that you've had with someone as you've been coming up? Now, this could be like a fan. This could be someone who you may have looked up to in your career, but just something that you will never forget, a moment that you would never forget. In terms of your career, though, you don't got to get personal. My niggas, man. My nigga flip go to sleep. Gino go viral. Like, it's just that shit just is all in my head. I'm saying shit.
