 Here we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Here we gon' talk. Where did the name come from? Double A? Mm-hmm. So, of course, my name's Aaron. So that's where double A comes from. Double A. But it's spelled different, because when I went to copyright my name, the regular way D-O-U-B-L-E-Dash-A was already taken. So I was like, I can't copyright that. So how I'ma spell it, you know what I'm saying? I gotta spell it different. So that name is really like a conversational story. Like is it Duba, ah, ah, ah? Or you know what I'm saying? Is it Duba? Is it, you know what I'm saying? So double A, A, you know what I'm saying? So it was just a dope way to, you know what I'm saying? To have people talking, you know what I'm saying? And a lot of people will talk. Like how do you say it before I say it? Because I was mentioning it up, but he said it right off the rim. Yeah, yeah, most do. So I was like, but it makes sense. Yeah, well I've been watching and looking him up and seeing what's being said. I'm listening and looking and trying to make sure that we definitely don't leave nothing out. And did it come out in college? The name? Nah, so my cousin gave me that name when we was kids. So when I was in the group, right before we was in the group, shout out to Chris the Great and my name, she was like, I'ma call you, she was joking. I'ma call you double A. I was like, cool, I stuck with it. And then she was like, I'ma call his little, her little brother, I'ma call you C-Lo. She was joking, you know what I'm saying? We thought, we didn't know who C-Lo was at the time. So it was double A and C-Lo. And then we realized it was like C-Lo like from Dungeon Family C-Lo. So he had to change his name to H2O because he flows like water. Then that didn't stick, you know what I'm saying? Then he went to Chris the Great, you know what I'm saying? But I always kept my name, you know what I'm saying? But I just had to later on, like once I kind of got some money, I had to copyright my name and that's what I came up with. Let's talk a little bit about double A day. What that means to you and just kind of how that all came about? Double A day is honestly, probably one of my most prized days because it's on my birthday, one. Double A day is definitely on my birthday. Check it, man, money most is in the building, man. We gave him a grand entry, man. Never come late, but he here. That's my co-host right there, man. Don't play, man. He really love the music, too. And he from Louisiana. So, you know, at the end of the day, man, I just got to make it out of announcement every time. Everybody know the niggle was late. I try to make sure they know that. This niggle might just show up any time. Hey, that's all that matters. Hey, never let him go, though, nigga. Don't think he ain't gonna have a job, you know what I'm saying? I love to be here. I'm a kid in the car, so we got to go. What? Yeah. Wow, that niggas wanting to meet you, bro. These kids in this car, niggas stop playing. That's why you hear a niggle, hey, you go hard for the kids, too. You don't have kids, so you know. So, I just want to know about this, it's like the double A day, like just when it came about, and I know you talked about the book, I'd heard you talk about the backpacks and just doing, and that's what really matters, man, cause that's really important to be able to give back. Most people, you know, they don't understand it. That's how you really, really start to grow. You know, anytime you see people that's the mated to the top, man, you gonna hear about, like my boy Robert Smith, y'all don't know, but he in Austin, Texas, let me go and just plug that in. Rich is black, man, in America, really, to me. Robert, he paid that money at Morehouse for all those years. Y'all stop playing, he in Austin, Texas, so what I'm saying is giving back is real important, it's big. It makes you go up further and further, so I love when I heard that about you. Yeah, man, it's something that I had to do, you know what I'm saying? Just because being in South Florida, we don't really have too many entertainers. We got a lot of football players, Matt Elum, you know what I'm saying? All the Elums, and you know what I'm saying? I went to school with a lot, you know what I'm saying? Like Scotty Barnes, you know what I'm saying? He just came in the league, you know what I'm saying? And there's a lot of people, you know what I'm saying? Jacoby Brissette, you know what I'm saying? But I literally rub shoulders with these guys like as a youngin', you know what I'm saying? But they give back in a different way. So I know a lot of kids want to be entertainers too. So to see myself in them, you know what I'm saying? When I give back, I get a 500 to a thousand boot bags, free hat cuts, free food, I have a fund a family initiative, because I know when my dad left, you know what I'm saying? My mom, she had to go to school, you know what I'm saying? She had two jobs and I was, you know what I'm saying? She was kind of struggling. So like every year I have a raffle where I go in there, whoever got the ticket, I pay your rent for one month, you know what I'm saying? So I do a little stuff like that and I have a contest as well where the third place winner gets a 250. Okay. Second place winner gets 500. First place winner gets a thousand and they come to wherever I'm at. They have a studio session with me. I take them out to dinner and stuff. You know what I'm saying? Just to let them know like whatever you aiming for is possible. It's possible. What made you start doing all of this? What made me start doing that? Honestly, the music is gonna stop at one point, right? Nothing lasts forever. So I want my legacy. That's what I'm doing it for right now. Everything that I'm doing is about legacy. You know what I'm saying? Once I'm gone, what will stand? You know what I'm saying? You got people like DJ Screw. His legacy is forever. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, what do I want to be known for? You know what I'm saying? Not just the nigga who got the chains and the teeth and all of that. I wanna be able to have double A day every year on my birthday. You know what I'm saying? So people can know like, well he came from here. He did this blah, blah, blah. Same thing with going to school and being a part of different organizations and doing certain little things. You know what I'm saying? I do stuff for my last name now. Do you have a double A day on the same day every day? I mean, every year? Well, it all depends. You know, there's a kind of change. Like, this year it's gonna be on the 23rd. That's the Saturday. My birthday on the 24th. So last year was on the 24th. But now it's gonna be on the 23rd. I think you should keep it on one day, one specific day. So when they know that day come around, they know you're coming. But let me ask you this though. What if it's on a Wednesday? Yeah, no matter. It's what your legacy. Okay. What you're saying is your legacy. Your legacy, no matter what day it is, your legacy, you came for that day, that day only. Well, it is in the summertime. Yeah. It is in the summertime, you know what I'm saying? But I just feel like it's kind of hard when people got jobs and, you know what I'm saying? That's why you make it during the evening. Late on the night, people don't have jobs regardless. But it's the whole day though, right? It's the whole day. It's a trade day. I got the trade day the same way. I got the keys to two cities. So I do one, you know, it's kind of like, you know, being in Atlanta and then in the outskirts of Atlanta. Okay. You know what I'm saying? I go to one part half of the day and then I do the other half, the big concert in the main city, you know what I'm saying? So that's the only problem. You know what I'm saying? That's the only problem. I think it's dope that you're even doing it, man. That's a big deal for me. Like that's the whole game when you get to a certain level, man. You got to be able to show that, hey man, you care about what goes on with who's coming behind you for sure and what's going on in the community.
