Uh, go listen to Sue Young or Bullseye or Project Angels, one of them. Yeah. Okay. And what do you think makes a good artist in your eyes? Uh, just being creative, switching your flows up and shit like that. Like everybody can rap, but everybody can't be creative with it. Give them different vibes, you know what I'm saying? Like, when you can make love songs, trap music, drill music, when you can do it all, that's when you're an artist, you know what I'm saying? Artists ain't just rapping. That's rapping. Being an artist, you gotta really, yeah, get into that shit. So, um, so who was someone you feel like gave you good advice on your journey? Uh, my mom, God. Well I can't say my whole journey because it was a point in my journey where I didn't even believe in God, you know what I'm saying? I felt God when I, like, moved my family out the hood. I moved to Atlanta, and then that's when I found God, you know what I'm saying? So, like, when I first saw my deal and all that, I was like, you see this on my face? It's just they even thoughts. I was like, yeah, I was on a whole different time. So, what, moving to Atlanta, I guess, was you exposed to different stuff? Yeah, that shit just opened it, like, opened you up to the real world, you know what I'm saying? It showed you there's so much shit in just the trenches. You know, when you're in a project, that's all you see, you know what I'm saying? My fuck is like, I got old hands who never left the city. Like, old hands, they really, they damn near look up to me, you know what I'm saying? They never left the city. So it was like, when you move and go like, go other places, that shit show you that it's way more than just that. So, yeah, Atlanta opened my eyes up. So in Atlanta, I guess did you get more spiritual out there? Yeah, I got more spiritual. No, I don't go to church, you know what I'm saying? That's a scheme right there. No offense to people that go to church, but like, that's a scheme right there. But I'm just more spiritual with it. It's like religion, I ain't gonna lie. Religion is like some shit to keep y'all controlled. You know what I'm saying? If you get me, like, you know what I'm saying? Or you don't get me? You don't get me? I mean, I just know it's other religious people out there. They might think differently. It's over 4,000 religions. Who know who really right? Right, we don't know who's really right. You know what I'm saying? So what's some of your goals moving forward in music? In music, just to like get more creative, tap more into like the R&B lane, like I'm trying to jump out the drill, rap gangsta shit, like I'm trying to stop the violence. You know what I'm saying? Want to make love songs and shit like that. Certify a level boy type shit. Okay. Who you listening to when you in that mood? Future. That's toxic. Future. Yeah. You know, I'm the Philly future, you hear me? Okay. Okay. And then what's the some advice you would give someone on their way up or on the rise in Philly? Just be yourself. Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do because they can't do it. You know what I'm saying? Put your mind to where you can do that shit. Just be yourself and just trust your gut. Just keep working. Be consistent. Never stop. You know what I'm saying? That's all. Just keep going. You're going to get it. One day. I'm going to ask you a couple questions and say a first thing that comes to your mind. Most use curse word. Bitch. Three things you need in the studio. We... green light. Green light. It's just like some fire producers around. That's all. Fire producers. We... And then a little light. It don't even got to be green. Just a light. Fire producers and some weed. I'm cool. I'm bobbing. Yeah. I'm bobbing. I'm a favorite artist currently. Future. Most use emoji. Praying emoji. Okay. Okay. Praying emoji. Praying emoji. What's your toxic trait? Uh, you ain't going nowhere. Okay. Controlling. Yeah. You're not even just controlling. You're just like, you ain't going nowhere. Okay. What song do you listen to for motivation? I listen to myself all day, every day. And then I play Future when I'm not trying to be motivated. Like when I'm trying to be toxic and all that, I play Future. When I want to be motivated, I listen to myself. Okay. One sentence for your ex. My ex. Fuck you. Last thing you spent money on? Last thing I spent money on. Food. What's your favorite app? Instagram. What's a trend you wish that didn't exist? The bucket challenge. No, I just made that up. I don't even... I don't care about trends for real, for real, because I don't follow them, but... I just... That was the first thing that came to my mind, you know what I'm saying? Because I just saw the video when 50 Cent was trolling, Floyd, and he said something about the bucket challenge and threw the bucket and all that. So that's why I said bucket challenge, but no, that's not my... I don't know. Next question. Name producer that got a fire tag? Call up Tay. Okay. What age do you want to retire? I don't want to retire. As long as I'm breathing, I want to lock in. Okay. Yeah. All right. And last one. Tell me what's one of your bars that people could use as a caption? Uh, I got so many songs. Let me think real quick, hold on. A bar that could put as a caption. Yeah. I knew I was going to be the one. I knew I was going to be the one to give us millions. I said it wrong though. How I say my own bar wrong? That is crazy. That's for you. All my fans, I apologize, y'all. I just got my own bar wrong. Hold on. I got... You know, I freestyle my music. I haven't wrote a song since 2018. So, like, everything is freestyle, so it was all in my head and I be forgetting... So what song got a lot of captions? What you know every bar is a caption. Okay. I just did it on BlockworkTV. Y'all are going to see that coming real soon. All right. All right. Tell people where to find you. How can they tune in? Y'all can find me on Instagram, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Diamond Street, Chemo, everything. You might find me on your bitch phone. You know what I'm saying? If you're really looking for me. Yeah.
