You snuck up here in our city. We don't even know, you didn't even check in, nigga? I didn't check in, I didn't check in. For real, I gotta do better, you know what I'm saying? Say, man, next time you gotta check in, man. What do you think about the checking in process, man? I always ask that. Depending on where you at, because I ain't gonna lie. If you come to Kansas City and you plan on hanging out, like, like say if I come here and I'm hanging out I might wanna know somebody from over there. I recommend the same thing in Kansas City. It's like, I don't call it just pure checking in, but you definitely need to tap in and make sure, you know, you sliding with some people that's gonna make sure you don't drift off to know where you don't need to be. Yeah, you get some work done while you was here working a little bit? Yeah, I did two studio sessions. I shot a video, and then I'm doing this right here. Man, check it, this the biggest thing that done happened, period. What, hey. Then boss talk, what a boss talk. I don't know what these other diggers doing, but over here, I'm getting it, hey, I'll move my flight for this. Why not? See, the niggas fly in for this. It's an opportunity. You know what I'm saying? It's an opportunity. Hey, let's go, man, let's take him there. So I wanna know, because I like to know you as a person, not always as an artist. Yeah, for sure. So growing up in Kansas City, because Kansas City, especially Kansas City, Missouri, is, because I saw something earlier today and it says it's ranked one of the top 15 cities the most violent, the most, I mean, it's not number three, it's not number four, it dropped down in rank. It probably was like number 10 or something like that. But let me tell you, you grew up there. Do you think that's correct? Definitely get some headbusses. You heard the name, C-W, the Young Blood, and you just knew the headbusses. No, no, no, I'm serious. I would definitely agree. I mean, I wouldn't contest it, or I believe it. It's not bad. Yeah, it's kinda, it's especially to be so small. I think our metropolitan area is a half a million people. So for the amount of problems we be having, it's one of them places though. Yeah, my boy, he call it misery. You know, Kansas City, Missouri, like, you know. Tell me about an incident that you saw there. Oh, that I saw? Yeah, would I call it no means if you can't call it? Yeah, I was gonna say that I ain't gonna be too specific, but somebody that's kinda like on my level, he's an artist in the city. Man, he was just got out of prison. You know, he was trying to turn his life around. You know, he's running around just getting back on the music. He was shooting videos, getting his feet wet, and then he started to do a couple shows. I believe it was maybe the second show he did. They called him coming out the show. They killed him and everybody he was with. You know what I'm saying? Just, and what hurts is like, we get to think like, was that show even worth it? Like, I know he was chasing his dream, but I just feel like everybody know, if you get deeper into the story, everybody know that's not where you wanna do a show really. Like, they tried to book me recently, and I said, nah, I'm not doing that. Oh, so it's a certain place. But if you're from there, you would think you would know where and where you can go, where not to go. Yeah. If you need to move, if you need to move with security. Nah, you know, sometimes you just get too comfortable. So you can be on your toes 23 hours of the day, but that one hour where you get lax, where you don't have a few drinks in the club, and you run out chasing after a girl, that could be it, you know what I'm saying? So it's just stuff like that. You really gotta even watch it, just pursuing your career around there. People get, what do you call it, bragging, brownie points, whatever, taking down somebody that, aw, this y'all favorite rapper? All right, watch this. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, that's the weird, you know, kind of like, man, you know, but. So were you raised with your mom and dad? I was raised with my mother and my stepfather. And your stepfather, what was your father? My father, oh, he lived in Dallas. Really? He's like, you just remember, like, oh. Hold on, I thought about it. He lived in Dallas. He lived in Dallas. Yeah, he just was one of the, you know. So you knew him, or you knew of him? I knew of him. Okay, so how old were you when you met him? My father? Yes. Or did you ever meet him? I don't remember meeting him. I remember being seven on Christmas in Best Buy, and we were about to spend our Christmas money, and I see him in line, and he just like, aw, what's up? He didn't give me no money or nothing. You know what I'm saying? I remember that. And then when I got older. So you must have had a picture of him, because when you saw him, you knew who he was. My mother pointed him out. You know, I was to the point where I had to ask my mother sometimes, hey, what's my daddy's name? Like, what's his name? Like, that's what kind of it was for me. I didn't, at one point I didn't remember his name. I did link up with him when I was like 25, and I kind of like confirmed what I needed to know. You know how you do that? Like, I'ma tap it. I came out to Dallas one time, and he had wrote me on Facebook. I'm like, man, I'ma go, you know. So he reached out? Yeah, he reached out, yeah. That's good. So he wanted to know you? He did, I guess, but I saw where it went after that. It wasn't really here. So it didn't fulfill. Do you know how sometimes when you were a kid, you're like, you had the questions like, why weren't you there? You know, I needed, I know you had a stepfather. Yeah, and that's the, that's the, that's kind of like the sad thing about this. He got big shoes, like to feel he, my expectations is high because my stepfather is one of them. You know what I'm saying? Great guy. Like, I didn't have no, I don't, I don't feel like I was missing any type of father figure thing or like that. So I wouldn't, I didn't have no daddy issues. But kudos to your mom because the reason why I'm going to say that part of it, because at least she pointed out and, and let you know that that's your father because there's a lot of women out here who I know of personally, who will hide that fact from their kids, be like, no, you don't even got a daddy. Oh yeah, my mother, my mother was the type to let us know like, hey, he said he going to do this. I'm going to let y'all see if he do it. He said he going to do this. I don't, you know, he said he going to send you a PlayStation. I don't know, you know, she kind of let us see, you know, she never really, she didn't talk bad to him. If they ever had an argument, she'd go across the, you know, house and close the door. Like it wasn't ever nothing like that. So we developed my own, like, you know, judging about a year and year for show. How many of y'all were there? I have a twin brother. Twin? That, that, and for my, you know, with my mama, my, my daddy, my biological father, he got like six or seven kids. I met one of them. Shout out, shout out common sense. He common sense on Instagram. Oh, okay. That's, that's my brother. But, you know, yeah. Well, it seemed like, you know, one thing about it, man, you know, I always sell the guys that come in here to have the issues with having, you know, I didn't meet my father. I didn't get, oh, he didn't do this or he didn't do that. You gotta always remember, man, that, you know, at least he got you here. You know, something, it was a reason why your mom connected with him. It was, it was, it was stuff to it. You know, I hadn't been into some relationship before I met my wife where if I'd have had a kid with this girl or that girl or whoever at the time we were doing it, it might not have had a situation where I could even came back into it. I mean, you know what I'm saying? So you have to force your way in. And sometimes you just never know, you know, you really don't know the whole deal until you really, you can always hear it. Like you always say it's three size story. You never know. No, no, I definitely, I definitely like, it's not, I don't even have a ill feeling about them for real. It's just like it is what it is. You know what I'm saying? Like you said, I understand. Like it's hard being a man, especially a man, a black man, let me say a black man. Yeah, a black man from wherever you're from, you know what I'm saying? And then you end up having three, four, five baby mamas. I already know, I understand. But then you think about it, you know, even with one, you know, like I said, I heard a lady saying this the other day about how the government preps it up to where a lot of times they ex the father out, the government even do that. You know what I'm saying? So I'm just with free Medicaid, different ways they can help you. If you get with the man, they're gonna take it from you. They don't know if they can trust the situation cause the man already been going through his stuff. And it's like hard to even deal with that. Hey, look, to the point where I feel like I was, I was corrupted in my head. Like, you know, when I first had children, I refused to sign the birth certificate because you automatically get put on child support. That's right. You don't know, but you try to figure out if it's yours or not anyway. So it's like, you know, you know how it worked, man. But what the crazy thing is with y'all saying that I was watching a movie the other day and you had some girls sitting down on the porch outside, you know, chit chatting outside in the country, whatever. And they dress all fly and stuff like that. You know that they're about the money, but they're like, oh, it's time, you know, patting their head talking about it. It's time for me to, and I'm like, you know, this is what they're showing people that we are. You know what I mean? And I'm like talking about, it's time for me to have another baby so I can get some more money from Uncle Sam. This, this, this, this, this. And I'm like, so that's the message we given to some of these people that, oh, cause one of the girls was telling the other girl, oh, you need to get a job. And she's like, get a job for what? That's the way it be. That's the way it is. That's the way it is. Like. And that's why you just gotta be careful, man, and make sure you find somebody and get yourself together too. It really ain't on the woman. I always put it on the man because the man says to presidents, if you gonna be with a woman, you need to have your stuff together. You need to know what you're not gonna put up with. You need to not compromise who you are as a man and focus on the fact of who you are with God and then you can figure the rest out. See, I like the way you put that because that shows that whatever situation you get into, you take accountability first. You know what I'm saying? You ain't just gonna, as a man learning how to do that more. You know what I'm saying? As I'm getting older, like any situation, first take accountability, analyze it, what you could have did different. Well, you compromise something. Yeah, for sure. It wouldn't, you're the man. Yeah. If you get with a girl today, you're the man. If she do something, I always tell her it's my fault. I never blame her because I'm the man. I ain't no reason if a woman walking down a dark alley and you walking down a dark alley, chances are, being a man, you could scare just with your voice, bro. You've set the presidents on a lot of different things. So be the man that you are. With God first, of course, I believe. And then you can learn how to, you know, help a woman to be your helpmate, I'll just say. I think a lot of people don't take accountability, like you said. I do agree with that because then in relationships too, if you're a man that know how to lead and not just lead by with your mouth, but actually lead by example, and even if she's not doing right and whatever and you're leading a certain way, you can encourage her to do right. And more times, yes than not, she will follow. Yeah, she gonna follow. If I see a man and a woman on the side of the road and a man out there asking for food for his family, I blame that man, I don't blame that woman. So that's why I tell you, you understand what I'm saying? It's the man who people look at if he's a white man, if you're an Indian man, if he's a black man, it's still always the man. I've seen Indian people sitting out with, where the man's on the side of the road asking for food and money. And I'm like, what's up with just doing this, kids, how did it get there? I'm being real. So that's the way I look at it. So we just got a responsibility as men to step up. You know, we wanna be the man, you know how we are. We wanna be the man, tell the man right on this thing. Yeah. But now I wanna get, I mean, I didn't wanna take you that therapy is something else, my wife, Love Miller Health. So yeah, she gonna snap you right there. I had it soon. She talked to you. That's straight, that's straight. Yeah, I fuck with it. But you've seen the show, so you already know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When did you first see Boss Talk 101? Well, the first Boss Talk, I was saying. Was it when Charleston White got ran out of here by the OG? I've seen you before Charleston White. Oh, it was, I started early with that ruckus. I had Mike Jones on here earlier. Oh, you know what? I was spending time in Dallas and they put me on mode three. Yes, sir. You need a post, no, no. First, Boss Talk was the manager. Rainwater. Rainwater, that was a good one. That boy, they're gonna always give you what you're looking for. Yeah, right. In an interview, oh, if you're a podcaster, he's one of those guys where if you can get him on your show, he gonna give you what you're looking for because you better have your mind set on straight because he gonna, and I think a lot of people think he's just doing this, doing that, but his character is like that. I don't think he's faking. You can't fake this alone, you know what I'm saying? But definitely went hard for mode three. Yeah, that's the thing. They had a chemistry. And still he's going hard. Still, he just did another project, so waiting to see what they do next, you know what I mean? But that, it's been a long run, man, thank you for watching the show. Yeah, not for a show. You, it's hard for y'all not to be in somebody's algorithm who actually watches like, you know, hip-hop content or anything like that. We keep the poppin' over. Y'all and every, y'all get delivered to this person, that person, it's gonna be somebody on here that you need. Oh yeah, we gonna rock out, man. I don't want everybody to know, we don't just do hip-hop, we do everybody. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We play with y'all about just hip-hop. We got doctors and lawyers and such on here, right? Yes, we do. Preachers too. Preachers, everybody, the Bible said, whosoever will let them come. Let them come. Yeah. They had some pimps on here, didn't they? I had some pimps on here. I had some prostitutes on here. Nigga, this is a world. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I think a lot of times people look at it as, you wanna, you gotta be specific on who you pick, but then you gotta do something to show that I'm not just picking people of one sort. You wanna make sure a melodic flavor is in here where people of every different nationality, race, not only that, just job opportunities, all kinds of stuff. We done had corporate people in here. Mayors, we interviewed that guy that going for president for Haiti. Like we go in, man. That's all, that's what it's supposed to be. But we don't get any of what you been doing though. Enough about us. I wanna know, how old were you when you started in the music? When did you find your passion for music? I always had like a little bit of passion for it. So early on in life, my mother found my rap book, you know what I'm saying? And she said, what is this? She didn't have the right reaction to it. So I was like, I ain't messing with that. But then I got around my cousin, Alan Wainer Prodigy, he was doing music. And he kinda like, so watching him do music. How old were you this time? I had to be like, man, I had to be like 11. Okay. I didn't do my first song until I was 16 though, exactly. That's when I did my first song, when I was 16. So what inspired you to try to take it serious? You know, I see that almost every black person in America, especially males, gonna try a hand at that rap game. Yeah, well, the thing is, the people I looked up to did it, you know, they did it at a high level. Like who? Technon is like probably the biggest artist in my family. You know what I'm saying? That you're looking at Technon? No, he is the biggest artist in my family. I'm in the correct color. You gonna come over here with that same thing, Life and Carter and Lustin came on. They come in here playing down to Technon. No. Mavado, when it come down to Technon. Ain't no bigger in Kansas, and I knew that. No, hold on, hold on, it depends on what section you went because I'll show you me and text messages, I'll send it to him. Somebody sent me a Spotify wrap up. I was number one, he was number two. Oh, so you bigger than him? In that house. In that house. So you gonna come over here and tell me you bigger than Technon. In that house. In that house. In that house. The date you live in. Hold on, now you are coming in. Hold on, now you are coming in. Hold on, now you are coming in. Hold on, now you are coming in. You live in the wildest house in Kansas. No, he's saying that he's in that house. I don't wanna hear that in the house. Hold on, now you are coming in. This is Friends House. I don't give a damn who else it is. This is Friends House. Let me be honest with you, bro. When life and Cardi and Lustin came on here, I said who the hardest rapper come out of Kansas in Missouri? They say, ain't nobody hardening rich to factor. I said, I ain't never even heard of no rich to factor. And they were like, well, he is hard. Well, after that, I did research and I locked in with him and I like what I see. But still, you got rid, you got- But he ain't as hard as tech. I got tech nine on the wall with me. We took pictures in 2009. What nobody hustling I seen during that time. So for me, I'm trying to figure out how in the hell y'all could just really, that's what they do to the sound for a lot of time. Erase the people out of the whole context. I don't get that, but you can't do that when the person did the work like a tech nine or like the like the Rappelite and Scarface and the ghetto boys. I agree with you. But it's a lot of time when it are big Mike and them for me, certain people down here, UGK, you can't tell me, they talk about the, oh man, you can go listen to this album. You don't skip a song. I hear these niggas on the East and the West coast and maybe even in the Midwest. I don't know, but I'm just telling you. They'll do their little list, but they'll leave out a lot of people that they shouldn't leave out. And I think that's horrible. So I always go off whenever I see people trying to do that. Hey, you know, that's when I followed you on Instagram. That's when you were hitting me out trying to, I didn't know who you, I said, who the crazy man here? Nah, hey, nah for real, because what you were saying was true that we have that debate once a week in Kansas City and someone about disrespecting tech nine and putting somebody over him. You know what I'm saying? But you know, you know how this tech nine elevated past Kansas City. Yeah, but take nine did that to itself too because he did a lot of underground marketing. People were coming to my store trying to buy clothes. I never heard of these clothes. He had them isolated to his own little old website, his own little way of doing things. So I couldn't, I'm like, who this weird nigga coming over asking me for this stuff I can't get. So you can't even call the nigga to get the clothes really unless you buy them off the website. The strange music website. That's right, you gotta buy them and sell them. He ain't giving me no double down. He should have been sending me some half off because it's half the tag time 2.2 in the game we in. I couldn't even get nothing from him. But at the end of the day, that's what people, they loved his stuff and they will come to my store. This store been here 17 years and they will come here to try to buy his merchandise. He got a lot of people that follow him, man. Oh man, yeah, you. But that's smart for him to have his own website and do all of that. Cause it makes everybody come to him. Co, when you're saying that, I think about YouTube and how everybody, so depending on YouTube and if YouTube turn around and say, okay, delete yours today. I don't, you've been messing up. Let them do it too many times. Let them do it too many times. Let them do it too many times. There'll be a nigga like Mark Zuckerberg. He created third thread. I'm pretty sure he can create another YouTube. Yes, but then you're dependent on Mark Zuckerberg too. Let me tell you something, these people know. Whether they're having your own, like Tech Night, he has his own website. Tech Night got his own. Don't get it twisted. I think more people gonna graduate to that. But I'm telling you now, it's a lot of people with money and if YouTube or anybody try to play game, these folks will come together and debunk them. I'm telling you right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you get out of line too much because you monopolizing and you think it can't happen, go on and do it, keep playing. You keep playing with these folks and they money and they time and I guarantee you it's gonna find a way to be debunked. How much you bet? I think with anything, if you take a few powerful people from that, they can overthrow. That's right. That's right, they just, they respect in it, but they don't have to if you piss them off. Am I right? I don't want Mark to ever do something like YouTube. He can. He can, but the reason why, the reason why to me to seem like it's a monopoly now. It's always a monopoly. Meaning like, that's too many platforms, he alone. Listen to me, when the money gets so high up, they all hang together. They all talk, they all respect each other. They know what they're doing. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Gordon Buffett and that's why I trip off cause you got Robert Smith and he way down on it. He's a richest black man, American black man, but he eight billion, you talking to people that's got 200 billion. Yeah. It's a whole big, it's a big difference when they come down to people that don't look like us. And I think a lot of times people don't look at that and really be honest, but those people help each other. Don't never think these people don't help each other. They all rock out. Now they mad now, three had mad at Twitter, but they know what it is. So you don't think that we help each other in that realm? We're not as high like the Robert Smith, the Oprah Winstrees, the Tyler Perry. There you go, puff daddy. Yeah. Don't you think that they help each other? I think they do help each other, but we have a lot of us that are crabbing and bucking mentality. That's why we hadn't came together. Why Jay-Z is over here with heels. Kanye is over here with heels. They not really coming together. You don't see no, we are the worlds coming together when Trayvon Martin got killed or when George Floyd Nick got stung on. You don't see the rappers or none of these people coming together collectively as a group saying, let's do something. Let's do a tour for George Floyd. They used to do that back in the days, but they don't do that no more. Everybody is separate, because they don't want you to get up. They respect, they brand enough to know, if I help you, how am I gonna get out of it? If I help you, they don't do it just for the cause anymore. You know, Jay-Z went on the football thing and that, remember when he first went on there when he started helping? Yeah, I remember that. But it really kind of blew up in their face because Nike went and endorsed what's the boy that was getting on his knee? Oh, Colin Covenant. They endured, they started liking him. So when what Jay was saying, wasn't adding up to what they were saying. Think about it, you remember that? I remember that. Jay was saying, we got on knee all day, that's over with. Then Nike come behind and say, no, we basically riding with him and we gonna campaign the fact that he did the right thing and then all of a sudden now it just disappeared. It disappeared. You seen that, didn't you? Completely. I had to kind of remember as this guy had to come back to me, they buried that. Yeah, they buried that. So, you know, I'm gonna get back to the music. Like, you know, it's a thing where like I said, I took those pictures back with Tech Nine and Kansas City, I remember that day when I took that picture for some strange reason, I did not know who he was, but I did know that he was of value the way he carried himself. Yeah, he's a star walking around. Exactly. And I'm a star walking around. So, and I know you're like, who the hell does he think he is? But when I'm around these niggas, I don't play no games with who I am as a person because I believe that I'm a child of the most I got. She'll tell you that. So when I walk in, I ain't caring about who in there, I'm in there. But at the end of the day, when you see a king, he'll be like, what's up, what's up, how you doing, nigga, let's get this picture. Just like, people do me. So we just rocked out. That's the way that was, that was in, that was actually his, he was trying to do something with the clothes. I don't know why he was there when he was going to hide the clothes anyway. Because he was up there around us without a pearl. But you never see this guy. He probably was going to sourcing. And it was soaking game. Yeah, that's what it is. He was soaking up game up there. But so this is actually your cousin. Yeah, that's mine. Second cousin. That's like, when we go to the family unions, I just went to a funeral, he was there. Like that's, that's, that's really the most time I see him if it's a family. Okay, when I come up there, I come and do my show. He got to be on Boss Talk. I'm coming to Kansas City. He got to sit in and talk to me. I'm going to hold you to it. I'm going to call you. I got you. I'm going to tell you, I already told Bacore, Bacore said he'll pull up. I got you. He said, I'm pulling up. You called me, I'm coming. And I say, well, we're going to try to get rich to fight all of them. All of them. That's it. That's where it's supposed to be, man. Like we're trying to act like we can't come together as a people, man. I hate that, bro. You know I'm telling the truth. You telling the absolute truth, man. It's like the money is more important than just having relationships a lot of times. Some people's mind. But it's really not, for me it's not. I'm telling you the relationships is way more. If that was the case, I'd be charging. How many people would I be charging? How many people in my inbox? I don't even let you come over here. I ain't never took a dime to come over here. Man, that's respectful. Yeah, I never. You take pride in your platform. I like that. I just like people, man. If I rock with you, I rock with you. And if I don't, I don't. So that's the way it goes. You don't try to pay me because you can't come over here like that. That's crazy. I'll fuck with you. I'll fuck with you. No, I'll fuck with that. There's some features I wish I could take back. I wish I wouldn't take that money. Hey man, listen, I'm gonna tell you right now. The road told me the other day, I always keep saying that he never got charged for a feature in his whole career. And Silk said that Jay-Z gave him his feature for free. So it's a thing where they just respectin' each other on that level. It's more organic that way too. I like, it makes it more organic. No, I don't, I don't, I don't, I'm not against people saying they got a fee or whatever for what they doing. You got to respect it. You know, when it's completely organic like that and they just respect your movement or they respect the way you came at them or you know, just, it could be anything that makes them respect what you're doing. They can, you know, but yeah. I think you cap, to be honest with you. What you mean, cap about what? I just don't think, I mean, you know, some people be talkin' and that's cap. Man, I think if you get up on your feet or whatever and you blow up. Oh no, no, no. Hold on, hold on, blow up and then you go, you gon' turn around and charge. No, no, no, no. You gon' charge, take that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You gon' charge. No, ass. I don't know. Hey, I want everybody to, what a camera, what camera are we on? All these cameras are on you. Hey, comment. And this one. If I ever gave you a free feature, comment. They from Kansas City, obviously. If you in Kansas City and I gave you a free feature, tell them about me. I'm over, I done did help. Oh, he did, I done did over, I had to do at least 60 free features, bro. Really? At least 60, at least. This year, this year, I already been, this week I did a free feature. You know what I'm saying? It ain't really, I ain't really. One of them songs blow the hell up to a billion, two trillion streams and people is calling you knocking your door down. Hey, even better. I just did a feature of what I did a few weeks ago. One of his homies hit me up a couple of weeks later. That was only one person. I still appreciate it. That was somebody who wasn't up on me. He said, I heard you with such and such, man. I'm a fan now. I'll take that one. That only took me 10 minutes of my life. That's what it's all about. I'm just, I'm giving the people something to think about, about how you approach these situations cause it's business. I know it's business. It costs, it costs us. I do want my publishing though. You know what I'm saying? Yo, here we go. I can send you my ASCAP member ID. Oh, the publishing becomes a big issue, boy. I want my publishing though, boy. Well, you just gotta, you gotta get that right. At least he gon' get it one word either. It's tough though, cause I think the game wasn't like it is now too, cause a lot of time back in the days, these bigger labels handled a lot of your business and that made it even complicated. Now we're handling it on our own now. So that even makes different barriers be put up. But it's good because back then, you didn't know anything about the business. You were just an artist. Yeah, for sure. For sure now. So now you have your hands on everything. Yeah, everybody start off. Now, everybody, 99% of all the artists start off independent. Like everything you doing is independent. Okay. I got a question. What have you ever said to you to help you to, you know, kind of understand? The business? The business. Yeah. I would tell you one funny thing. Something that he's done to help your career. Let me tell you one funny thing about that. I just was Don Tess talking to me. That's what they call him, you know what I'm saying? I was on, I had seen him maybe three or four times within a month span. And the first time he said, hey, send me whatever you hear me on. I'm on it. Well, that was, that was a, we was outside his tour bus. The next week I see him. I'm like, bro, I sent you the record. He said, I got you. I see him again the third time. I don't even say nothing to him. He say something to me. I'm going to get you on that record. The fourth time I'm like, man, what's up? What's up with that record? He said, hey, I'm, I just got turned down by Shade. I'm waiting on J. Koda, send me back a feature and every, hey, everything going to happen when it's supposed to. I got you. He kind of like told me like, hey, matter of fact, send me another one. You know what I said? Send me something else that's going to make me do it right then and there. Man, I respected him right there for that. Cause he was just keeping it straight raw with me. You know what I'm saying? He was, he was, he ain't going, I don't, I'm, and I never wanted to handle. I didn't even tell nobody that was my family. Wait a minute. You got cousins. I got cousins, right? Yeah. I got cousins that I really, I'm cousin with the niggas. Yeah, yeah. But I really don't know the niggas. See, see, I'm. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I got, I got, that's good right there. Like out of big, I got cousins right now that I ain't seen but one time. Oh, okay. That's my first cousin. Okay. In LA. Yeah. And they ain't never even seen their mama. And that's my auntie. Hold on. Listen, man. Yeah. If your cousin niggas say your cousin, don't really mean y'all have to say both of them niggas. No, no. No, like you can't, you call that niggas in. I just called them. You know what I'm talking about? I just called them. No, I'm just giving them in. We don't got, we don't got no, look, he just sent me a picture. We don't got like no. Oh, so the niggas really rock with you? Yeah, yeah. But that nigga need to do the song. Man, he do what he feel like. Man. He do what he feel. Hey, he's a real, that's one of the. Get that trillion stream song and watch out for it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, all right. That means you gotta step your game up. You got a hundred project, you got a hundred albums. Send that nigga a hundred of them and say, send them on that. Send from that. I ain't worried about it. I ain't worried about the world. Hey, I'm pushing, I already, hey, how I go down. You know, it's gonna go down. I ain't really. Man, you can't worry about, man, listen, man. It's gonna happen. Man, it don't really matter if it do or if it don't, man. You putting it down. You got a hundred projects and I'm gonna tell you something. It's always been for me content over create. So a lot of time when you putting that content and how many videos are you doing with these projects? I'm at least doing one. You need to be doing three. Three to five. How many songs on the project? Lately, I've been, see, we, you know what I'm doing. How many songs on the damn project? Hold on, it switched because at the beginning of the year I had a project with 33 songs on it. That was my 33rd birthday. So I put 33 records on it. That's a whole lot. And then, you know, sometimes you do 20. This summer, I started four weeks ago. I'm dropping every week until September. I forgot what the date is. I love your work. 13 weeks straight. I've been doing 10 a piece. So I've been dropping 10 every week. So then 360, you did 360? Yeah, I did 365. I did a, and hold on, and I want you to be clear on this. I recorded a song every day and put it out. I didn't have nothing sitting there. I didn't do two this day. I did a song every day. I was just explaining to the dude at the studio. I just met a dope engineer. I think it was a BC studios. I can't remember what it was. It was around a quarter, it's an old clip or something like that. And I was explaining to him, it didn't matter what we was doing. I was in Vegas. We missed a flight. So we're supposed to be at home at a certain time. Instead of sitting at the airport to get my song done for the day, we went right now, we went right back to the, cause I had the studio with me. I take it everywhere I go. We went right back to the hotel room, checked in, and did the song, then went back up to the airport. You know what I'm saying? No matter what we doing, like, I didn't even want you to around me if you wasn't gonna stop me and say, hey, we gotta go do, knock that record out for today. Why can't you just drive to do that like that? I ain't gonna lie, bro. I think it was God. I was really, you know, I was just sitting, I was just sitting around like it came to me. I don't, I don't know how, I don't even know. I think you secretly was in competition trying to catch up with Tech Nine, cause all the stuff he done. I'll pass, I'll pass Tech as far as dropping content. I know the content, but he got the bigger song. Yeah, he got the bigger, you know, yeah. So you, you was like, I'm gonna, So to get to him, I gotta drop it, you know, I knew that on the program. You know, you gotta drop it. I'm gonna drop it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you don't ever know which one's gonna hit. Well, one of them I'm gonna, No, push up, push up. Somebody might come back later on and grab one that might just go. You never know. Have any one of them just took off and you didn't even know it was hitting like that? Yep. I got a song called, Insane, I believe. It did a million just, it was kind of out the blue over a few months. But I guess my sample was pulling up in a lot of chazams and people were getting right into the song. And then it made, you know, the algorithm on YouTube. It was just that record I had was in the algorithm. What's the name of it? Insane. It had a video and everything. No, it was just the audio. See what I'm saying? It's just the audio. That record was just a random, on that tape I had 30 songs. Wow. You know what I'm saying? It was just a random song. So, How do you remember all of your songs? He don't. I know what it is. Hey, they do it to me all the time. It's gonna be on this YouTube video. If I make a, people say my lyrics to me all the time. I go like, did I say that? Or are you just playing with me? You know what I'm saying? But most of the time I did say it. Wow, that's crazy. If the song cut on though, I can remember it come back to me. It does. You know what I'm saying? Out of all of them? All of them. If you cut it on, I'm gonna give, Oh yeah, I remember this. Yeah. Wow. Let me ask you this, man. What caused you to move up to Arizona? How long ago did you move? God moved me over there. I moved to Arizona in 2012. I was 22 years old. I had literally left one of my homies funeral, left the next day. It was kind of on the table before then. I was like, man, I ain't never leaving. I was one of them dudes who never aspired to lead a city. I never even been to St. Louis. I wasn't on no, I'm not. I didn't care to travel. Like I wasn't seeing that. You know what I'm saying? Everybody I knew was just stuck. You know what I'm saying? We around here. We gonna make the best of this. You know what I'm saying? I heard my mama went on the cruise before. I didn't care about none of that. You know what I'm saying? I ain't never traveled. But she came back home. Yes, she came back home. I didn't even, I don't, you know, I didn't care to travel. So you got to Arizona, it's hot. It's sticky? Yeah. Well, no, it's that hot dry heat. It's the dry heat. It's that dry heat. That's just like Vegas. Just like Vegas. It's the desert. It's the desert. Y'all got that Now we got that steam out here. Yeah, yeah. So how was it? What was you doing up there? Like, did you, I know you worked. Uh, when I, yeah. When I first got out there, my, let me see. One of my partners say, bro, you just got pulled away from the leeches. Anybody who was, you know, bringing you down from you, perfecting your craft or really pursuing it, you got away from that. When I, when I moved to Arizona, I was really just able to focus on my craft. I, man, a lot of people don't believe it. How I made it in Arizona initially, cause it's hard to move to a state where you don't know nobody. That's what I was just about to ask you. I went to Walmart my second day there. Somebody said, hey, they said my real name. They said, hey, I just knew they weren't talking to me. I know nobody in Arizona. You know what I'm saying? I kept going. He ended up hitting me on Facebook or something. It was my boy. Like he had moved, he had moved from Dallas, that's funny, to Phoenix. And he was like, bro, I'm out here. And that's my boy, I call him Gunner. That's my boy Gunner. And me and him, that was kind of my glue to stay there. And then of course, my time being there, I ended up linking with my boy, DeRess. He just, Vietnamese, got real dope talent. He's actually the graphic designer for URL. He's like, he's the graphic designer. But I met him early on and I did a video with him after the video shoot, he asked me for a feature. So I did the feature for him and he mixed my vocals. I've never sounded like that before. So I kind of stuck with him. I was like, bro, can you mix this song for me? And then we just built on that to the point where we just started doing videos together. We did a lot of music together. I'm at his house. I'm at his mother's family. You know what I'm saying? He would call me if his car break down. You know what I'm saying? I became my boy. He really enhanced my presentation of everything. He did my graphics and mixed my music and did the videos. You know what I'm saying? How long did you stay in Arizona? I'm still in Arizona. I just, I just, You never gonna move back to Kansas City. I'm never, I got a song called I'm Never Leaving Phoenix. You know what I'm saying? So you know what is it about Phoenix that you love the most? I thought you loved the most. Man, I'm stuck. That's why I take one, take nine. Hold on. All right, Tech, is he in? He in the city. Nah, he in KC. That's why. I've been in KC. See, you ain't got no love in the city, bro. Hold on, hold on. Before I came here. You ain't got no city love, bro. Before I came to Dallas, I've been in KC for four weeks. That's fine, bro. I've been in KC for a week. That's why. I wonder why you didn't do the song, which I wouldn't do now with you either. Nah, nah, he already know what it is. Left on me. You the product of the song? When you coming back. Hey, you can't be mad. Is it cause the crime rate up? Me and you spoke on that earth. Hey, I was, I was going to jail, seemed like every six months in Kansas City. You gotta get out of there, huh? Nah, for real, I was going to, Hey, I left on parole. Like, you know what I'm saying? See, I was going to ask, I was going to ask you how, could you say you had a good family? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That daddy, mama. Yeah. With a crime rate the way how it is. How did you stay out of trouble? How did you not get in trouble? He did. He just, hold on. See, my mother was amazing. So she made sure, one thing you got to do with these kids, you got to keep them busy. That's right. I played every sport. What happened to me was, when you get to the point where you think you too grown and you telling your mama, whatever, I don't want to do what I do. I got a car, I'm making $8 an hour. I'm hard. But step daddy there, he can pull you up. Nah, he can't do that. See, not my daddy. No, hold on, that was it. No, look, that was the thing. At that point, when I was 16, him and my mother, they was kind of in a rocky spot. So he really didn't have no say so on it too much. I did try to go live with him though. When I left my mama house, I tried to go live with him. It's the same for me. You know what I'm saying? He's saying my homies can't come over. Like, what are you talking about? I didn't know back then, but I see why he's saying now, but he don't trust them niggas. Hell, I wouldn't have trusted them niggas either. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, but. So, I just really, like, I get it. Arizona, Kansas, how did you and big court meet? Shout out to big court holding court. Shout out to holding court podcast. Shout out to big court. Look, I caught a case and my co-defendant is related to him or something like that. He hit me up and said, hey, my uncle, you know, he with no limit, blah, blah, blah. All this, I'm like, I don't give a fuck about none of that and shut up. I ignored him. You know what I'm saying? I don't care about him. A few years later, court get into it with this dude in our city. And they really going back and court put the full court press on him. I'm like, man, who is this dude? He pressed it like, nigga, I'll come see you, Jack. No, I'm talking about shot a real music video, had him tied up in the video and all types of stuff. And it's your homeboy. We just court, yeah, I guess. But really, before I'm to do that, you like, who is this nigga to do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was somebody I was acquainted with, you know what I'm saying? So I'm like, man, what's up with dude? So I kind of court on my radar. He did the movie with Master P. What was that, I got to hook up my son. I told court that was the worst movie I ever seen. I said, bro, I said, bro, this movie was terrible. Like you making the city look bad. You over here promoting this, like you just making us look bad. That's how I felt about it. You know what I'm saying? So court like, man, who is this dude? So, you know, he get to see me a little bit. So he start following me just a little bit. So he stay kind of cordial online. He flew out to Scotchdale. He don't be in Phoenix. He be in Scotchdale. You know what I'm saying? Okay, okay, that's the uppity part. He's in Scotchdale. He's like, hey man, come have dinner with me. It's a little spot by my hotel, you know what I'm saying? Let me know what you want to do with this music by my line. So I go out, I meet him, you know what I'm saying? And we really just chop it up. And I fucked with him instantly because he came at me on some, he respect what I'm doing. He don't want, he don't want to take from what I'm doing. He want to build on top of what I'm doing. He didn't want to just sign me to TME and make me a part of, he wanted to see what he can do to enhance what I already had going on. I feel like he respected me as my own boss, you know what I'm saying? As an independent artist, you know what I'm saying? So I stayed tapped in with him. So me and him really built our relationship simply off me executing. Like if I had a press run, like I think I did one in LA and in Atlanta. He was there, you know what I'm saying? He would do the shit like he'll fly the cameraman out or he'll like, just how you know, did this right here. You know what I'm saying? He would do stuff like that. He, when I did dirty glove, you know, he was right there. He, he told me what a EPK was. You know what I'm saying? I didn't even know. You didn't know? No, I never, I never heard of it. You ain't seen me once, I figured you didn't. No, I got one though, I got one though. I need to get it up. I need court to update it actually. Court, who did my EPK? I need that one for the updated, but yeah. So yeah, it's just, it's rare to run into dudes who do what they say, you know what I'm saying? And just genuine. They don't ever try to get nothing on you. He'll call me and just check on me. Like, hey, what you working on? Are you a real? What happened to what you say last time? Did you follow through with that? You know what I'm saying? It's that little stuff. A lot of people in our city got this weird thing about him. They're like, shit, what the shit? Won't he just give us 10,000? And, and posters, they give us an interview. Man, this nigga ain't did a shit nothing in their life. Talking about what ain't on the whole court podcast. Like, who the fuck are you? What? Who don't want to sit and watch you talk about nothing? You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, man, I think a lot of times you can't take that. You got to take everything they say with a grain of salt, you know, cause it'd be salty. You know what I'm saying? That's naked body. And then, you know, they talk, they talk that shit, but it kind of died down cause courts started popping up in the city. Hold on, this is when he started, he started, he'll pop up in the city and go live everywhere he at. So you got to stop talking to niggas like that cause you talking all this shit, but he just showed you where he was at, Tim. And you ain't done nothing. You didn't do nothing to him, like. So he moved like that a little. He don't really do it as much as you see. Nah, I'm glad he don't. I'm glad he don't, cause he don't have nothing to prove, man. Nah, man, he proved it though. But he don't have anything. He didn't have much work this man, everybody in man. Hey, you know them, if you go to KC and you get to know them niggas from the 40s, he from the 40s. Don't let them play. I know he all, them niggas from the 40s, boy. They serious. They got this other side to it. You know what I'm saying? And you'll be with court at the Cheesecake Factory or something. He just snapping to this mode. Like, man, let me tell you about this one time. All of that. You know what I'm saying? I love to record that. That's my boy, man. Like I don't play about court. Ever since we met, we locked in. There ain't no games, man. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But I think that's what God do for me, man. He put the right people in my circle. Yeah, for sure. And it be so real. So I know he's God. You know what I mean? So that's dope. That's why I asked you about him. But I got to ask you this. Because you were mentioning that you were in a court case that you had. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How old were you at that time? And was that your first? Yeah, that was my first one. I was 18 when I called it. What was it for? It was for robbery. OK. Stick up, kid. I was 18. Yeah. I did change the robber. I rep the robbering crew, but it's not for robbing. It's for taking what you want. You know what I'm saying? I was 18. I messed up the whole papers, ended up getting my time. But the way I worked it, I was only in prison for like eight months or something like that. You know what I'm saying? I didn't do that long. You know what I'm saying? I did it. It was enough for me. You know what I'm saying? So you've never been back since that? No, I ain't been back. No, I ain't. I've been arrested maybe one time since then. But I really, when I moved to Arizona when I was 22 years old, that's what kind of saved me. Before then, I was headed down. I was doomed, you know what I'm saying? Because you said that it was because when your partner had passed away, you moved the next day. So something must have happened really bad during that time while you just like, this is the last straw. Look, before that, the bounty hunters came to my big mama house. She lets him in the house and she says, he don't live here. My city covers are sitting on the table. You know what I'm saying? So I get mad at my big mama, moving to my homey house and just have my stuff in the basement. So I'm at my homey house. I can't even go home. You know what I'm saying? And then my homey died. And I just, I'm like, man, I'm gonna try this. My goal, I took just a basket of clothes. My goal was really just to stay for like a few weeks or something like that. But I just never, I never left when I went. I didn't come back to KC for like two, three years. What is it about Arizona that you would love for people to know? Why should people come to Arizona to visit or is there anything at all? It depends on what type of person you are. Other than the desert, what else do y'all got? No, I mean, when I got- There's soup bowl over there last year. Look, when I first got there, I just felt like the weed was damn near free. I've never seen those prices a damn long life. You know what I'm saying? That was like the first thing I see, you know what I'm saying, definitely that. But it's a place where you can expand. If you're from a city where I'm from KC, where I'm from the part of KC, it's just all black people. I didn't grow up, it was three white people in my high school, you know what I'm saying? I didn't grow up in diversity, you know what I'm saying? So it was a way for me to get to mess with other people. I ended up going to college. I went to University of Phoenix, you know what I'm saying? You know, where you do the one day in, you do the rest on the line, I did that. I got to be around other people. I just got to see a different side of life. I had never been out of Kansas City at that point, you know what I'm saying? And I really just loved it. And I kind of to see, I started to see the pieces fall together for me like, man, I was meant to be here. And I wasn't fighting what was happening, you know what I'm saying? Let me, let me, let me, let me put a wrap it up. But I'm gonna ask you about the Robin Crew, the clothing, merchandise, like how is that, how is that going for you Steve? Man, it's going lovely. I am in a, I don't know if you ever went through this, my drop shipper dropped me. You know what I'm saying? I had a drop shipper, he was showing love. And he got tired of doing it. I think so though, I think, I think. Yeah, I think so. He really cut me off all the way. So it's kind of more difficult now for me to do the drop shipping. But robincrew.com is up right now. You know what I'm saying? You know, sometimes I get flooded with orders. I took everything off the web. So I got like five things on the website that I can really manage. You know, really easy. You know what I'm saying? You need a hoodie, you need a t-shirt, you need a hat, I'm sending them to you ASAP. But I used to have like 50 items on there because my drop shipper, he'll, you know, he'll get it done and get it to you. I think, I think like T-Rail from Topeka, Kansas City, Missouri, my shout out to Coop, shout out to Luston. Like I said, them little cats came in her life and caught in them. Man, I love them young niggas, man. I'm kind of throw up, bro. I just love our people. I liked how you mess with them. I watched that whole interview. I rock with every one of y'all the same. I'm saying what we mentioned is just when you, if you're able to get in, you in. Yeah, for sure. But if you're out, you out. For sure. I'm in, I'm in. You know what I'm saying? But no, like, I just, I appreciate you for coming on the show, man. How can people get a hold? Top three artists of all time, Dead or Alive, we gotta ask you that. Top three artists of all time, Dead or Alive, like who is your top three, any genre? Top three. Bro, I came up different. So I'm going to say Tupac number one. Tupac number one, shout out. He right there to your right. I'ma go. Or to your left, I'ma smile right. I'ma go Tech Nine. Tech Nine. And then just because this is what. It's the first person that ever got me a rap check. I'ma say Messy Mawr. Messy Mawr. Yeah. Shout out to Messy Mawr, man. You been announced on Boss Talk 101. So that's Tupac Tech Nine and Messy Mawr. This top three artists of all time. Hey, listen, man, check it, man. How can people get a hold of if they're trying to rock out with you? Just Google CW the Young Blood, CW the Young Blood. I'm on Instagram, the young monster. Yeah, whatever. I'm on the auto streaming platforms. You know, just type in. You know, whatever you use, type my name in. I'ma pop up. If somebody was doing a documentary for you and you weren't able to even talk or be a part of it, what would you want people to say about you? I'ma do everything in my possibility not to die broke. That's what you want people to say about you? Yeah. That he was paid? No, no. I'm not gonna die broke. Oh, that you just said he didn't die broke? That ain't gonna be the whole documentary though. What else is Tupac about to? That's gonna, hey, I'ma teach my sons not to die broke. Like just don't die broke. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes when you keep chasing that paper and you're chasing well, sometimes you can miss the most important things like, you know, building memories and spending time with family and stuff like that. They can lose all that money that you left them. It gotta be a balance, but I think for certain men, a lot of us, we need to focus on achieving goals. They don't even gotta be monetary. Like you can die broke spirited. You can die broke, you know, broken anything. What is your wealth? Wealth is, I honestly. Health is wealth.
