So I'm a listen man Man, hey, how was it man? Oh, let me show you man shawty live man. Hey, that's that's my dog. First of all men shawty low We might got about four or five songs really out in we shot videos So one time I pulled up to the eighth shawty low was a type of nigga. I'll pull up to the eight I'm shooting just a regular video. We did a song for a mixtape. I'm like, hey, bro I'm in a we did this song on the mixtape. This ain't even a song I'll put just a song on the mixtape. Yeah, he pulled up on me in the eight We somewhere and somebody hood in the age of shooting his version He pulled up on me and walker did a song. He pulled like shawty low was one of the niggas that I pull up on you for real You get what I'm saying? Same thing. Go to tv. He'll pull up on you for real Like you in the city. He's gonna pull up and I'm out of where you at He's gonna really pull up. It ain't one of those. Oh, I'm gonna pull up and you don't hear from He pulling up. So shawty shawty low. He pulled up. We probably shot about three or four videos So, you know, anytime I was in the a bro, like, you know, I went to a spot, you know, out there in Bankhead 26 10 bankhead, man, y'all see this shit y'all know You know, I was I was fucking with bro here. I'm going home. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, you know, we he just always show love But it was different. It's only certain people I could really everybody had always shown me love But it was certain different people that did it on different levels Shawty low is one of the ones that really pulled up. We did multiple songs multiple videos You know people fucking with you when they come in to your videos pull it up I ain't never paid for a feature in my life. Wow ever Ever not one time and I didn't did features with anybody in the industry I never paid for one. So that's really off respect Like when I do features for somebody for free is because I respect who you are and I respect your artistry That's how I want it. I used to tell myself if I can't get an artist for free that I need to keep working You know, I know I know if you if you really own your shit like the artist gonna fuck with you Like jz do only free verses. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? But you got to get to the level You know, I think you gotta get to that He ain't gonna charge you for no verse But if you get to the level to where so if you're artist you want to earn that so that's how I always looked at it So but I do know it's a difference like it's one thing to get somebody on your verse It's another thing for them to do the verse and come do the video video. Yeah, that's a whole another thing Because that's a whole so when when it's like did he I went to the a it was bt of what weekend Uh I hit did he and it was crazy because I'm like, I know bro ain't gonna do the video I want we ain't be mad. You know what I'm saying because he did the verse for me and everything But I was just I was just I'm throwing a Hail Mary. I'm just for the text. I'm fucking. Why not? I got his number Hello, I'm like a brahman a We we we for to shoot the video. I hit everybody else on deck. You know what I'm saying, uh I We were shooting it, but I just didn't expect to get did he so I text him He's like right yet man When I say did he pull it up in like an hour from when I text him and told him He was already dressed and everything. I mean, obviously was stuff going on. So he was already in that mode Man, I shout out the man. Oh, man on my nigga. How about man? Man on my nigga, bro, but he a real nigga because I He we were shooting a video and I had came out my pocket to pay for this video They cost a lot but my leg he won and pay for this because yeah, they didn't use this remix Right, I had to come out my pocket all on the spot in the a you know I'm saying now I didn't have to pay none of the artist, but I had to pay for everything on the spot You know when you're doing something right then and there it's gonna cause more it ain't playing that I'm like it was a dude named rage or something. He was like the top director and I had to pay You know, he hit me with a crazy price. He like right now in the a you want this this and this Well, if you're gonna do this, it's gonna be excellent. I said it was bt award It was bt award weekend and I'm like fucking I gotta do it. Like I can't you know, I said so I did it And then and then so when did he showed up Mano was shooting his verse, you know what I'm saying? But like did he was just like amen. I got to be in and out But so like when he came to get a whole thing stopped we had to stop manos Poor we let did he shoot his thing but man Mano on tripping though like because at the end of the day, you know, mano was another nigga I've been rocking with and locked in with Like it really brought the whole thing together because I'm like down Baby was there. Everybody was there and we and we was just like oh this shit for real now So it kind of turned up the whole shoot because now we really believe in and the whole thing because it was one of those Things where we just for the plot through it and get out everybody want to go to the parties Now this became an event at this point. We're out here So I never I never forget that and and to me to this day like did he was just a real nigga for doing that Like he could have he could have asked for X amount of money he could have you know I say he could have did away But he pulled up and show show love, you know I'm saying so that was a big Moment for me to really let me know where I stand in the industry as respect That's what I knew I really had respect in the industry when people was doing that Because like I say I'm an artist. I know it's one thing to To do a verse, but it's a whole other thing to pull up under a video Especially at this type of level. So when that happened, that's how I use it. I was like, okay This money was well spent. You feel what about it was bumby bumby will stand up. Oh bumby just stand up Yeah, he was there for sure And everybody met did he hit that shoot that was there like that was the first time I mean Drama met like link Goddy Bumby everybody was at that shoot Probably outside of man on commando from new york, right, you know, they was already locked in or whatever Everybody had just met Did uh did he at that shoot? Wow. So, you know, a lot of people locked in from that moment They should the niggas start becoming surrog boys right after that, you know, I said So I was glad about that. I'm like, okay. I created something where other niggas Was able to eat from that, you know, so it was just a fun time, you know, and that was another thing I was having fun at the time
