That's what I'm because I don't got the Like I don't I don't I haven't developed that love and patience that the car guys have so I be calling this nigga Like that what I'm supposed to say like what I'm supposed to do like I'm asking you put a new Transmission in it didn't you you put this in it? You know, I mean, but I just I respect the patience that comes with being in the car building because it's so Much that you got to go through and learn and there's so many different things like he was here We're sitting I was telling him man He got the to do Tahoe with the 6-0 LS swapping With the 4L 80 transmission with the AC major ship. Yeah, major He's about to have the time Major I don't even know what that means.

I want to go with no worries I wish he hurry up. That's gonna be worth it So what would you say is your crown jewel? I as low as all the time with his crown jewel is of all the cause of the gap What would you say is your one that if you only can have one it would be that one I Fuck see he always essence and tough ass If we've been technical I have to say my my F 100 Okay, because the way that up before it's a Ford F 172 it's on top of a crown Vic frame. I got a Mustang mold in it I got new interior but outside is patina rusty, but I got clipcode over it So that's that's like that's my color to flex in the car while and be like oh this nigga got some paper But if I pull up in the hood at the gas station niggas ain't gonna be asking me for a dollar Right, you don't think I need a dollar cuz it's been rusty, right? But it get down. Okay. Okay, like a sleeper If you're a car person, you know what I'm doing, but if you don't know you just like In the Sanford and Sun truck all the way so like you know being here, you know being from New Orleans, I just asked Currency this being from the city and having a spot that's in the city man It's a lot to come with that But what would you say is your is your favorite part about being a part of a brand that's that's imprinted in New Orleans The way that it is and being able to come to us Brick and mortar like this and be able to know that you had a hand in Creating something for your city. Yeah, I'm from I'm from the east of New Orleans. So that's like 15 20 minutes away. So only time I was on Canal Street is shopping Catching the bus getting off the bus getting on another bus. So I get to come to this bitch every day You know, I'm saying come chill park my car in the front see people walking Just be on Canal Street. You're in the middle of the city. You ain't in the French quarters, but you're right though You know, I'm saying then I saw the shit From the beginning like I remember when we was in that bitch on chef making the shirts with the Rollin, yeah, the board and you know, I'm saying so and to see spitter like I Saw him when he first started doing this shit, you know, I'm saying to see it now like Shit, it's your type like it's the best shit. Now you say you from the east like Break down the difference in the city like because this is canal will part of the city with this be considered This downtown downtown. So I feel like it's either downtown CBD first quarter area. You got Downtown project area uptown project area. You got uptown like magazine Like that's like the judge for our part. You got the east you got like the West Bank That's across the bridge. So that will be west of us But I feel like if they was if he was from the West, this will be considered West from them Okay, so the east is the further at one part the east was like Like a suburb type shit, you know Not no more like But everything here Close it ain't like when I was living in Atlanta. It took a nigga 45 minutes to go eight miles Yeah, fuck my mind up forever and it helped me out. So now if I got somebody that's on the West Bank I'm about driving but the average motherfucker not driving on the West Bank They're not going. It's like it's too far Damn, so I'm when I moved to Atlanta bitch everything fall. Yeah, everything. I'm saying so 45 minutes. I'm bomb. I'm taking a ride Sunday you stuck in traffic like what church is letting out now like we are coming from That's the city man. It's how that's the difference. It's close But it's far because people stuck in a in the area, right man. I love the city atmosphere is just Amazing people are great man. What's some of your favorite things about Shit, my favorite thing is really I don't I will I will say the the just a The shit that you normally have to trip about We don't really got a truck Driving these motherfuckers like in another city if you won't go on a neutral ground with your truck and barbecue and Sell burgers you got to get a permit out here. They let that shit slide when I moved that line They put boots on my shit just for I'm like at my apartment like I live here. What the fuck like that's wild to me Like that's some pity shit and being out here. You just it's just laid back and then I'm part of your life So it ain't no we got no security. We ain't no violent type niggas, you know, I'm saying so we just be Living like I ain't got no 10 on my cars. You feel me? So it's just like it's small. So I know what's going on. So I know what not the politics Like growing up here though, you know, when you grow up somewhere, it's a little different when you come back with success So do you think then New Orleans? You know, you always hear about how People don't embrace they own. Do you think that there's different here then brace the child gap from your city? New Orleans is is probably one of the most fucked up cities. I've been to I really don't know like Like far as that part embracing the the the success. Yes, sir I I lived in Atlanta, but I'm not from there. So I feel like New Orleans people don't accept New Orleans people like Like we we here But motherfuckers ain't We get the most fraud cases in New Orleans The most fraud cases. Yeah, like people coming in by shibble not coming in but on the online Okay, and music When I was in Atlanta for kovat Niggas was selling our shows in the parking lot Right and New Orleans. I feel like they they accept the music. It's a little Everybody'll start here. So you they don't give a fuck about your success nigga ain't got five hours But he eat a man, you feel me? So it ain't it ain't like you got to worry about somebody trying to Take something from your niggas feel like fuck you here So they're not in a good way though. They're not praising you You know I'm saying it ain't like you go you in Linux and you see a bunch of people you see on TV Right, you know I'm saying we ain't even got them kind of stores You know, I mean, I don't know I disagree being from outside of the city You know coming down here is so much culture that come out of New Orleans for people who not from New Orleans Like so when I come down here like it's so many people that I think of that are stars Well, you're not from I'm not from here So they're gonna they're gonna accept you better niggas a roll of red carpet. I'll let you fuck They hold bring your body mom damn hold on nigga from you're like, I'm I'm from the East, but I can't go in the Cali and shoot no video Yeah, I mean, but why would you want to why would you let Rick Ross do it? Good point good point Good point Yeah, I think it's probably proximity because you know Atlanta to me is the only place that exists that's like that Atlanta To me is the only place that you can go to from somewhere else and set up shop and become successful and not be a target because there's so many people there that's Successful that you know, you got a Bentley is nine other Bentley's in the parking lot when you go to the club, but if you from DC or New Orleans, you got a Bentley you the only nigga in the city with a Bentley So imagine how you imagine how that is so a nigga came til they hadn't be like I'm proud to see that I that's motivate me thinking I could get one because it's whole looking like oh shit That's what kind of car not nigga Joe's might you feel me because it's not it's not seen when it's got so much You like all that it's none of them in Atlanta like a Honda right cuz it's so many right Like it's kind of like the politics is kind of like fucked up But I mean y'all still embrace the city so heavily though So what makes you do that when you when you get that type of response from your people? What makes you say not be influenced to say man fuck this shit? I'm going to Atlanta. I'm gonna set up shop here I feel like you can't let if you're a good nigga. You can't let nobody Fucked up ways turn you into what you don't like in them like if I feel like he'll fuck nigga I can't let him turn me into being one. So I'm gonna be extra Trying to get trying to convert you actually trying to be like look I'm chill a bit like it's some pleasure going on like sit back and hang you know I'm saying all that rah rah Right, you know I'm saying but that's only gonna go so far Right, and you know like fucking that a nigga job to be out here trying to be a motivator Exactly you gotta motivate though man. Yeah, you got to you. Well, you gotta you gotta know how to defuse the situation So if I'm gonna pull up and I and I sense his tension. I'm how was our fellas how y'all doing? You know, I'm saying I'm gonna speak letting niggas know instead of clutching like they clutching You know I'm saying so it's just you got to know how to move Really, that's really everywhere But the city's like I say I've been everywhere. I still rather be in this bitch Still rather be because it's just it's home. Yeah, no place like home. It's just it's nice like it's cool It's laid back. I told you nigga thing. They ain't bootin a nigga call man You got a you got to pay the park everywhere. You know So you gotta pay the park here. We're here. You just know you don't you don't You don't follow him.

I always thought there was some bullshit Paying a part. Yes, man Yes, like you going out to eat the parking dick man. Yeah, man coming from my city. They got them speed cameras. That's the that's the Biggest hustle ever money now. I'm saying like certain cities the laws is like More intensified, right? You feel me like out here. It's laid back like you get pulled over with our sweet They're gonna get your ticket. Oh Well, oh, yeah, yeah, I Got pulled over and then I had to also eat in my book sack. I had a half in my pocket I was smoking right in a rap driver. You're doing too much You doing way I was that was definitely was but you know I was in the in the neighborhood area. I wasn't in the CBD Speaking of writing raps man That's that's you know, always a process that I find to be interesting when you talk to artists So like you just said you riding writing a rap. So are you writing in your mind? Oh, I'm writing on the paper. Oh, yeah, you definitely was doing driving and driving and writing on a notepad Fuck everybody else. I mean, what song was that? I know that bitch Go so fast you got red lights every fucking mile. I'm cruising So so what would you say like? You know, I What was your greatest verse if you had the the one that you wrote that you go back to and be like man that Yeah, this the one if I had to put this one up This gonna be the one that I put up as my entry into the you know verse Hall of Fame man, I Would have the answer that would like a verse that kind of got me more Recognition and more props like more respect like people who wasn't really fucking with me Then they heard that verse and like, you know what that nigga nice? Well, you know, I'm saying so like a song called cassette that Okay, I did it And I was touring around that time. So I was always performing it So people when I dropped that particular record the people that would normally be like what the fuck is this You know I'm saying there was more like tilting they had like like you know, I'm saying oh, he liked that for who influenced you Who was some of your influences? Yeah, like pimp see juvenile BG Wayne sound like some of my shit. Yeah, that probably is your shit You know I'm saying just I like a lot of the older guys like new niggas I like a future like newer than that. I feel like I'm Proud of like ETSG Dope boy somebody like that. It's hard to like new rappers This shit competition. I ain't liking no nigga like that. You think so. I'm I'm competing I'm on the field to compete. I don't want cuz niggas don't know me So rappers like to me they the clout chasers. They only won't fuck with niggas who wave They're not reaching down to no hungry nigga who liability to have a better verse than them on the song So sure y'all competition so I can't really like get out my body To listen to a nigga now when I go to the club, I won't hear everything new But when I'm in my car, I'm not listening to the niggas at all like But I'm saying like even what you saying that like y'all especially jet life specifically y'all have created a lane and a Following that most niggas who are major artists don't have once that back in leave Y'all ain't got no major label back in y'all and y'all already have established a following to where y'all can tour all over the country and sell out shows so Does that not make you feel like you're ahead of the competition? That would make me feel like I'm better than them So that made me feel like if I was on the same playing field niggas will see like if you could put the stats I Can't compete if I ain't on y'all feel So y'all over that doing that so I gotta stay was was what's on my place So I got to keep my my circle tight keep my shit growing now when I'm on a playing field Then we could you know I'm saying we play like an all-star game You know different Jersey type shit other than that shit them niggas fool got you them niggas rich awful shit I do I'm doing this bitch. I'm sweating on stage. I mean this bitch writing raps them niggas in that they get on stage and Hold the mic out. You know I'm saying in that bitch is saying whatever so now we fuck that Yeah, I can't fuck with that right now. I respect that I respect I respect the game though.

I'm waiting on right now celebrating 50 years of hip hop. Yeah, some of your favorite hip hop Hip hop moments hip hop moment It's so fucked up man. It's it's 50 years. So from the time I became fans of shit Niggas broke up. Yeah made up and I don't like none of that. You know I'm saying so I say I Say the the everyone when when when the when the music meant something when when when you was Anticipating that the artist like with no limit was putting them covers in the back when the dynasty album came out Like you know I'm saying that type shit when niggas was you ever niggas stole your shit You was going see about him, you know tape your CD, you know, I'm saying like nice It's a little different so I like that part like some of the like early 2000s and like the the 90 the 2009 like When the double XL cover, alright, that was the last thing to me that that I felt like was something Special because the blog ever is how I came up. That shit gone They ain't even no underground market for a nigga like me You're filming you got mainstream niggas doing 15,000 in first week and getting praised You know I'm saying so I feel like when probably like the cover one or two covers after When spitting them did the double XL. I felt like it meant something Yeah, before the majors took everything if it was if it was any album or any, you know Piece of work you can see perform live. What would it be hip-hop wide? If you can see a nigga perform something live What would it be my life after that life after that big that's a good one that was like the probably the one of the best Bodies of work. What like every record you feel? Yeah for sure. I go to a Luke show a Luke show freaking man Freaky man. No, you cuz that's a moment in history that'll never be repeated Yeah, you can't do that no more. If I never do that if I can go to anything see anything live it would be that source of wars with when 100 3000 said I got something to say it should got on stage and say if you want to You know come be an artist and I had an executive producer all in a bit I would want to be in that environment to see what that was like that that specific sort the 95 source of war I would want to be there live see what that felt like in there You know, I mean just because of that era of hip-hop It was like the rap crew was the thing that you know, I mean like and that was one of my favorite areas you know because you look at you know, like you said the no limits the The death rose the bad boys the you know, I mean The swab houses and you know all of that like that era of hip-hop for me was what raised me So I would want to be able to see what it felt like to to see that in real time. You know, I'm saying I should be love What she man you hear all these fast-ass cars flying by man And you see they pulling up with some shit. You won't go check some rats out.
