I know I know But then you still got to do that though Oh yeah, we got it inside of your studio Yeah, yeah, we still got that So how did you get into music? What was your first time in the studio? First time in the studio Was 2018 Early 2019 January Somebody from my hood And I grew up with them Opened the studio and I came out of work On there and I said we'll be teaching back for them Two weeks So I came out of the chain scene Fixed it in the studio and I'm like You know, I'm much in shit I was just singing shit And I went around Okay He said, my gosh, you can come for free And she was like, okay So I had to already open it And I put it up And that day we just started freestyle You remember the first song you made?
