 So what does VTB stand for? VTB stands for born and born. I used to play basketball when I was younger. Because when I was a child, my friends would always just let me get my new cycle. So it was like born and born like a devil with me. Okay, so being actually doing music now, well I didn't know where to change that. Are you going to keep that? Yeah. So, what you're going to do with it? Like you still want to pertain it to music or? Music. I'm also like getting into music. Yeah, I'm not into basketball anymore. I can't do that. I can't. My kid wants to. So tell us about your earliest memory of music. Like when did you say you got into music or when did it start being a thing? Music, well music always been a part of it. It always been around when we say that. Like my whole family was like music being a clown. Growing up I grew up singing in the church like that. I used to be shot up. I was such a bad kid in school. So knowing he was bad, going to church was so bad. Yeah, I thought I was doing good. Yeah, I was bad. And then like growing up, girls was like bad boys. I thought of being a bad boy was cool. And I think I saw him one time with one of my best friends, Jordan. He like had me sing on Facebook and it went crazy. But all the girls like started to fuck with me. Oh shit, I want to start singing. So your first song that you dropped was a singer's song? Nah, it was actually a raise on the one song. Okay. So what is it? Okay, so growing up, so who is your summer inspiration? P.M. Urop. Okay. Michael Jackson. I like old school music a lot, like James Brown Temptation. So you were definitely a group in church. Yeah, I liked that. So how would you describe your sound of music? It's kind of like, kind of different, but not too oldy, different. Nobody really, like, for me like, people like, nobody like underground right now going, like me coming up right now. Nobody really like, I think sound of music. I play them on words a little bit. Like I drag it out. Can you play a nobody calling up a sound of music? You say anybody that sounds kind of similar to this, the sound now, like the new generation sound, like older tunes or like that. But like, I bring a different kind of flavor to it. So what makes you stand out from everybody else? Me? I don't do what anybody else does. They go right, I go left. You know what I'm saying? I don't do what everybody else does. So you got to see that off the rim. Okay, so in a lot of new music, you talk about materialistic girls and groupie girls. So what's, like, some experiences you've been through that inspired some of those songs? I need to ask that question, huh? What? I've been through some wild experiences, man. Girl, I don't, you know what I'm saying? You got to give us one, even though we know some of the songs, but what's one that inspired a song? Like my song, Stuck a Full Love on my teeth. That was my, like, I was in my bag on that teeth, because everything I was saying was factual. Like everything that I said on that song was factual. Okay. Do you still speak to that girl? I don't, man, I don't know. I don't know, like, I try not to. I don't know how to try not to, like, I just wish she just changed her things. It's just how you can't change people, like. Once a person is just a wrong person, it will be wrong for her, but, like, that's it. Them living, nobody can change? No, you have to want to change. You got to want to change for yourself. I guess that person don't want to change. Okay. So your most recent, your most recent project, Better Than My Last? What's your favorite song that you take? Hmm. It depends. Like, if I'm like, if I'm with the, if I'm with the, like, the gods, like, somebody say play some real shit, like you talk to them, like you talk to them, you show them, I play different. Okay. But if I'm like a girl, like, and she was like, I was like, all girls in the big day bag, I play, I can't cry no more, because, like, I would, I like that song a lot. Okay. I was gonna say in my head, this is my favorite. Not in my head if I had to, but in my head was like, I don't know why. Why you be holding on to music? Cause leave me laying. Cause I've even had a strategy, but sometimes I don't be falling through all the way, but all that's different now. Like, I'm about to drop on y'all, just system it crazily. I'm about to see different me and I will play with you at all. Okay. So I'm Better Than My Last. You speak a lot about struggling and making it up through our times. So like what led you to that or what, what would you say motivates you to keep going? I want my little sister, like, I really like growing up. I used to like die out of it. I was my famous, my famous super duper rich. Okay. So like my little sister, I know a lot. I want to like have a different, like grow up, bring it in. So I try to go crazy. So like, if I like, if I make it, and when I know I'm gonna make it, and I have my money lost, she was, she motivated me. So I'll leave you sister here. Okay. So, um, how was she? She's not even a baby, you know what I'm saying? She had a 16-year-old up in May. Oh, yeah. So she's not even a baby, but she's still my baby. I got you. I got you. I got you. So, um, what is your beat selection like? So first of all, it's like YouTube, you know what I mean? But then now, like, I'm a woman from like, like a real producer, like my son, Jabari, he's selling me silica package. Right now, it's like, um, my son Carlos. Carlos? Like producer Carlos. He up coming, up and coming up. You tell him. And that's with him right now. So you have a producer? Yeah, I still take a beat from anybody. Sometimes I'm like, because this is the whole thing. People send me beats here, even at hell when they be here. And they're like, I don't really like to like, like, feel me talk back, because I don't want to go like, like I'm down playing, they cry. So I just rather like, fuck, I don't want to talk. I just don't want to say nothing. Yeah, I just, feel me, if you got beats, good beats, send them in. But if you don't, hold them to yourself, beat them. What are you going to, just practice? Yeah, feel me like, do old practicing, nobody, you feel me? Okay. Or do you select your notes? I make believable music. My music, like you can relate to, if you really sit down and I listen to all my flow, I know I make a lot of flow, but if you sit down, listen to like my words, I mean, like you like being like, game talk, like, I relate to that. So I really make relatable music for people to like, to tell me, you know, it's like, yeah, practice. So in the project, but in my last, you don't have no features on there. No. Because, a lot of people doing that features, you know what I'm saying? I'm not reach out to nobody, but when I, when they reach out to people, everybody would like, to reach out to people. So you was reached out to people? Yeah, I reached out to a few people, I haven't seen them, so who I reached out to though? No, no, no. But I'm saying like, you do be trying to, show what you see. Yeah, you do a lot of things, but only, only mess with my name, only my name is, like my name is like, E.T.B.J., E.V.O.N.O.S.O., Cool Kills, B.G. Badge, Screamo, so I'm cool, I'm being really proud of, that's all I mess with, I mess with nobody else, my name is like, E.T.B.J., I'm not saying E.T.B.J., I'm not saying E.T.B.J., I'm tough, too. Yeah, okay. So, so who's like, some of your dream collab stuff? My dream collab. Main stream. Main stream. I want to ping you up, go for it. So, do you do that? Yeah, yeah, that was something crazy, I feel like, right? So, when you shoot in your musical videos, what's the process? Do you have like, a story line? No. It seems like you have, be flashy, but it's also creative. My first time doing videos, it was like, run and gun, everything run and gun. Like, my birthday, just passed, a shot move video, that was every run and gun, I just told them, put it up to my B&B, shoot it. Okay. Like different, I try to like, go a little bit with it, like a little treatment, like it would be different from my other names, the new ones, you already told them yesterday, like, straight movies, you know, my cousin T.D.

A lot of niggas be like, it will be buffered, it will be buffered, they can't tweet, you know what I'm saying, like, but they don't be knowing, like, you gotta really open your ears, like, listen, I'm gonna be talking, I'm gonna be talking. So, being that so many, like, lit artists from that style, do you feel like you have to hold it down, or do you feel like the style of being holding it down? Hmm, we need, we need one more nigga, we need one person to make some noise in the style. Yeah, we have like, we have like, ourselves move out, that was it. But, after that, I feel like.
