He shiced the apple with that butter, boom, boom. After that, he ain't good. Just spent the blockin' as I should. Hey, what's up? Y'all, it's Frenchy, and you are tuned in to the twerk of the town. Today I had a very special guest. He's a bad ass himself. So like that? Actually, the battery goes against the thing. The battery? I heard that. So, how are you doing today? I'm good. I'm great. You're great? So, let's get right into it. Where you from? I'm from Brooklyn, New York. What part of Brooklyn? You gotta get specific. Houston, New York. Houston, New York. Oh man, I couldn't see you, you know. Oh man. Portland, New York, and Wraith, New York. Oh my gosh, you're so Brooklyn, I'm just kidding. So, how you came up with your artist name? Do we call you? Because I've been staying here, but you're filming it. You've been staying in shocky sometimes. You like the whole shocky bad ass, like. Yeah, shocky bad ass. All right, so how you came up with that name? When I was in shocky come from, since I was little, because I used to like football, and a football player that was one of my favorites, his name was Jeremy Shocky, so everybody just thought, quote me, shocky. But for me, I've been a bad ass since I was young. Oh, okay, I'm trying to see the bad ass. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not so bad as someone else. You don't wanna shake, how old are you? I'm 21, I'm about to be 21, how old are you? You're still overall? Also, you're definitely a bad ass. You wanna have a meet? That's great to me, that's good. So you got it from a football player and he's a bad ass. Got you for a shocky bad ass. That's dope. What made you start rapping? At first I wasn't really like in the rapping, well I was, but it was like, I got older brothers. So it was like when I was young, the stuff I was writing, it was trash. So like they used to tell me like, yo bro, that ain't nothing, stop, really. So I got into sports, but then I just wasn't feeling sports no more, you feel me? And then I just tapped into music. So what's the media inspirations going on as a kid, about us? What you mean? Music inspirations. Oh like music inspirations, like, well you know I used to listen to a lot of street stuff, so it's like, that's why my flow is kind of like, pretty like that, because like, everybody I grew up around, they was listening to stuff that I was supposed to be listening to, but I was listening to it still with them. So, well that stuff like, you know, like Staggongers, DMs, stuff like that. Yeah. Rest of these ads, and that. Real shit, that's dope. I'm happy to do that. I'm happy to do that. I'm shoutin' to you. All right, so how do you feel about rockin' your way right now? Like, would you, with the K-Flots, you know what I mean? Because they gonna have one day happening with that? Yeah, thanks, thanks. I'll fuck with it too, they goin' down, I like the residence, like it's for me, like it's pretty, I like it. So, should you feel like who started that, and maybe just take it over, or? No, I don't really, I don't really wanna get into who started it, but I feel like, you know, everybody do a thing, you know, like. You know what? What else you don't wanna get into? I mean, we are known for it, first. All right, so let me just get right to it. Who you think started your rap? Because that's been a big topic. So, to you, who, you 20, it was around, and you had all the brothers, so who you think started your rap? I say, I gotta go back, back, I say like Curly Savanum and B&B, no, no, no, no, because they was the ones that really started it, you know? Yeah. Hit it on the floor, Tastick, and all that, and so I'm happy to say you don't. You said, well, right, that's good, that's a good thing. So, what's something that you like? Lawyer beats. Yeah, I see that you would like one of them a lot. Yeah, that's my guy. I see that you should like it a lot. I like the lot, I like the show beats, and the makeup. All right, that's good that you got some, because I feel like people be doing that, and you don't want to produce, they shit over it. Yeah, exactly, because I always want to give credit to the producers, and I feel like I don't get enough, they don't get enough credit, you just take the B&U's, and... You ought to be wrong with it. You gotta get that credit. Okay, so what kind of music did you say you made? I made old types of music, I'm versatile, but what's out right now is a gritty flow, a gritty type of rap, like dream. So, do you want everything, we gon' see the first activity, you want to see it? Of course. I want you to say it one day, then you want me to say it for the lady. Of course, of course. I don't want to see the autumn tunes, this shit, we gon' see... Okay, right. You gotta reach out to the fan base, you got to. So, how do you feel about stamping an old song? Do you like doing that? Because you see that's kind of a thing right now. Yeah, I actually got some old songs, that's how I like send me some old songs. I like it, I like the twist that got to it. You know what I mean, that when that beat just come in, it's like how to just snap. Yeah, gotcha. So, I asked you about the drums, how do you feel about broken drumming, the shit that goes in that ear pain, did you follow it? I mean, I fuck with it, it's cool, it's a couple of people I listen to, I don't even really listen to it, I mean. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why not? Because I don't know, like I just, like, I be in tune with different music, right? A lot of people that I listen to is not really from broken drumming. All right, so, give me some people that you listen to. No cat, no ice cream, bezel. Okay, Detroit, would it? I don't know, face, brain, tail, so just go to Detroit. A lot of people from Detroit, really, a lot of people from Detroit, Chicago, Ludford, you know, Paddy, that's, that's, that's, you know, right? So, what should, would that be your top five harmony? Which is out of five right now? Now, my top five currently, doing that like, like, Paso Vino along, and on that one, so I would go DMX, like, on you. Okay. Third, I'll probably go Jada Kiddus. Okay. Four. Four. Yeah, four, five, go, no cat. Okay. I'm gonna figure out what's on my next line. It's always hard for the last one. Yeah, me. Me? Yeah. Tell me, can you share a map that you saw you, got you? Any artist you live in Calabria? Not really that, not really like, searching, but if it come like, if it come genuinely, then it's like, I'm with you. I got, I got, I got some features in the making though, but it's, it's like, all this, that's not, but you know, I've been coming just like. All right, so let me say, what should dream Calabria be? Industry wise, I'm gonna come out, like, what should dream Calabria be? Dream Calabria? Damn. I have no idea, that's what I really gotta think about. You never said, what about that, who in the studio, not dream, you said dream Chase, that you would like to sign a dream, but not me. I mean, for me, me, me. No, Jane, like, it ain't really a dream Calabria though, like, it'll be, it'll be nice of me to Calabria. Wow. So, yeah. So you ain't got no dream Calabria? Nah. So you ain't got no dream Calabria? Nah. All right. Is it genuine? Okay. I heard you. That's what it is. I heard you. I'm not shit. What's the hardest thing about being undue now artist? Kind of, it's kind of like, getting like, getting the attention, like getting the exposure. Yeah. Because it's like, if you got talent, that'd be like the only hard part. Yeah. Just getting the exposure and stuff like that. So, I'd say that's the only hard part for me. Yeah, that's true, that's true. What makes you stand out from the rest? I rap different. It's different. Totally different. It's different. Like, they ain't saying what I'm saying. Like, a lot of people saying the same thing. Really? We go rapping about the same thing, but that's how you put it. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. The way I say it, nobody say it like that. You got it, you got it. You got it. I was telling my mom that I would be you are talented. I'm gonna give you that. You don't do it. I feel like, I feel like I'm bringing it in. I'm bringing the punch lines, the balls back. That's what I'm feeling. That's true, that's true. So what's the three words to describe yourself? Badass motivation. Badass motivation? Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's very... Oh, and what you said? You wanted that? You said badass. Badass motivation. Isn't that a badass one word? I can't, I can't use the badass. No, no, no. Come on, D, D. Who is shocky, badass? You said motivation. Come on, three words to describe yourself. You took all this passion out. I can't, I can't, D, I gotta give you more than three. Nah, if you didn't give me more than three, you'd give me three, so just give me three. Come on. You're gonna use extra value as one word. That's true. That's true. It's gonna know what it means. D, I'm going to know what it means because I'm not into it. Because I know you got a song for extra value too. So what extra value means for the viewers that you have? That's like, that's something I mean. Okay. You know what I mean? I'm extra value, like, if you, I do three months, I'm hot. Okay, so you can say extra to describe yourself, shit. But I gotta add the value on it. Okay. All right, I heard you extra value. What's been the highlight of your music career right now? Something that you look back at, you're like, damn. Like, damn, I did that? Yeah. I say when I stop when I'm on my own, I drop, stay built in, and then up a class, I get the reaction to it. That's when I was like, yeah, I could do it, I could do it. And, all right, so what was it? I can't do it. No, so look at this. Look at this shit. Look at this shit, Shotty. I felt like, yeah, I could do this shit. And it felt good. That's what's up. So what was his reaction to the video? It was good? How anybody would react to it would be? You feel me? No jokes? No poses? You feel me? He had no jokes. That reaction to it, you feel me? It's just straight, you know, when you hear it, it's just like, damn, I can't pose it. I can't, like, that shit is crazy. Like, how you just said that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I see one incident on his reaction to one of his videos. He said that, how copyrighted it over will lose talent when he was watching the videos. You agree with that? Yeah. And they been true being overlooked because you're not a talker? Exactly. So, you know, you got to put in your work. Exactly. No funny shit. Yeah, I ain't complaining about it, you know? You always got to put that work in. It's like, I really just started, so I can't really, you know? Yeah. But that's how it went, huh? The only way is up. All right, so what advice would you give to somebody that would start and make you perform? What advice would you give them? Somebody that's sitting down and they look at you like, they all look like this. I tell them just focus, you know? Like, focus. When you right hand really, really think out the box. Say something that you ain't nobody really heard before. I always like to say, everybody wake up with two things in this world, a chance and a choice. And for me, the choices you make after you get your chance, you got to live without a second. And then you ain't gonna get none, not quit. So you might, even if you do it and you fail, at least you did it. No shit, no shit. So what's the goal, sweetie? What's the goal that you put in that music that you wanna achieve? Oh, Shabi? It's like, it's the main thing, you know? For me, I wanna get the views. I wanna have myself out there. I just wanna be heard, that's it. I just wanna be heard. What's the reason that you rap? What's the reason that you rap? Or you just do it? It's my passion. Your passion. Like, I don't really care about the fame and the money and all that. It's like, I really do it because it's like, it's something like therapy to me. Gotcha. Really? Gotcha. So, I feel like you said you don't really have too much goal. What is success to you, as an artist? Success, I say million views. I say interviews, like what I'm doing now. I say glad to be, what I'm doing. Stuff like that. Getting features with big offices and stuff like that that come genuine, I don't really know, you know? Yeah. I am, I'm not against like, extending the hand when it's like, if it comes genuine, it's more respectable to me. Would you be in a situation where you are now and say that, but you get related. Do you feel like it's a lot of politics when it comes to making music? And you probably can make certain music with certain people because it's a lot of politics in it? Yeah. So, I mean, when you get bigger, is it still gonna be like that or? It can't be like that. Because we don't own a different level. I mean, it can't even be like that now, to be honest. So, all that, I don't worry about all the politics and stuff like that. It's like, we're gonna do music, we're gonna do music. I was saying that, because your music is very slowly about like that. You know, your attitude and shit. And that's my thing. I don't diss nobody or nothing like that for me. I just, I come to rap. So if you come to rap, we can rap. How long does it take for you to rap? It depends. If I'm really feeling the beat, it's quick. Like I say about 10 minutes tops. It's times I don't walk in the school, I don't know what beat, but you put the beat on. I made the whole song right there. Okay. I was playing your Instagram and you dropped a freestyle. That was really a freestyle or you was chatting? You know about the video that I'm telling you? Well, I got the burgundy flag on. I'm a freestyle. Was that really a freestyle? What do you want to see? Did you say that or what they had in the catch? Was that really a freestyle? Yeah. It was a freestyle. It was a freestyle. I mean it was a freestyle. I'm watching this shit like Dan is doing. You what? That was a freestyle. Wow. That was a freestyle. I don't remember it now. Okay, but it was a pretty dope freestyle. The funny shit. The ancient. All right. So Shocking Badass, what's next for you? You got a couple songs like Ask Pooper, Extra Valley. What's next? What are we getting from Shocking? Something to hit the people's hearts. I say I'm gonna drop a couple more single tracks by myself and then I can look forward to some features and stuff like that. Okay. So, now the tape? You know the tape? I dropped a little tape with Royal Beats. That's on Apple Music and stuff like that. What's the name of that? What's the name of that? Fourth Quarter Clutch. Yeah, Fourth Quarter Clutch. Yeah. So, I feel like I'm gonna drop a tape but I just want the, I don't want to drop a tape in the attention. I want the attention here because I want everybody to drop a tape. I'll get you, I'll get you. So you got a network. That's a big thing too. You got a network and you'll get it.
