welcome Fat trail to the motherfucking couch First off, I just Want to start by saying Congratulations man, for all the shit that you Have been through, all of the trials and tribulations All of the ups and downs man, you stay Consistently you, and that's hard to do You know what I'm saying, especially with all the pressures That come from where we come from and all this shit That is easy to get caught up in You made your way through all of that through them hurdles I just wanted to give you congratulations And say man, I'm proud of what you've done And what you're doing Slim Man, I appreciate it, you know flowers coming from a nigga Like you, you know what I'm saying And being from home too, but like Your stature and everything that you Pursued in your career and all the Establishments and accolades you got You know that coming from you I love that man, I appreciate that Man, that's what it is man All the way now, I'm going to start The first question is man, for those who may not know Who is Fat Trail Fat Trail is Damn man What do I consider myself, I consider myself A good humble, good hearted nigga From North East or from the pentacles Bend and roll, 1600 block of East street And I'm just North East to the fullest You know what I'm saying, and like I like getting money And holding it down for my niggas And for the struggle and you know a lot of women That's just who I am That's just who I am My motto in music is just to be myself And just always be me All the way now, you know you're from North East And a lot of people don't understand the city You know the geography of our city Man, so I'm from uptown You're from North East, so If you could explain to people Who don't know and not familiar with DC How would you describe North East In contrast to the rest of the city Man, how would you describe North East in contrast to the rest of the city I guess you know like North East We really on paper and bitches We really on paper and bitches And just hustling hard Togetherness and you know what I'm saying Versus where you from Uptown niggas Just on straight getting fly Getting money, straight money and getting fly They don't care about no bitches or nothing Every day they running around chasing another dollar And they dressed In finest fabrics in the city Versus the south side South East is down and gritty and grimy You know what I'm saying It's the dirty, dirty south Everybody know what's going on in the south Watch your back and your front At all times, be on your P's and Q's It's the south and they ain't got no pics You know what I'm saying So that's just like the real demographic Of the city And you know for me growing up in the city I'm born and raised in the city So a lot of people don't understand that dynamic Because they see DC and they see the white house And they see how small it is And they don't understand the dynamic Of where we come from For me like George Avenue day was our day I remember I went to the first unifest And I was like where the fuck am I The south east side of it was just so different And so with you being The type of artist that you are And having the type of success that you've had Just within DC How did you feel like you bridged that gap Because niggas fuck with you all over the city So what do you think Point to one specific thing that you did To bridge the gap because a lot of people don't know Uptown niggas don't go over south side Unless they got to in vice versa So how do you feel like you bridged that gap What do you think you did Basically what I did was that I was just coming from a place where like look man I'm trail, I'm from E Street I understand our early hood Got different parts with different hoods But like almost some rap shit And I'm trying to take DC to the next level Because when I started rapping It wasn't cool And you know what I'm saying So what I was doing was I was just linking With everybody I linked up first with Uptown XO And he the one who got me introduced to the Uptown rap scene Uptown XO He got me introduced to the Uptown rap scene And all the open mics and shit You know what I'm saying And then I linked with Booby Shout out to OG Booby And he was bringing me around the south Introducing me to all the south And then like that's just how I was just going to different hoods like pulling up Let's shoot a video around that motherfucker man Let's let the world see the real DC On YouTube bro we could reach Nigga all across the season And all that and that's what I was on You know what I'm saying like Nigga started by them and was like oh no Yeah let's do put our hood cause You remember back in the day the old hood The hood DVDs I tried my best to purchase every hood The hood DVD there was But the trenches look like everywhere Everywhere you know what I'm saying And so that's what I did to bridge the gap But I just went to different niggas hoods Maryland Palmer Park You know what I'm saying Virginia 5000 I went all over and was just shooting videos Like let's put the city on So I wasn't afraid to put up on this I'm afraid to put up now You just spoke about Gogo And you know a lot of people don't understand that About our city like growing up I never wanted to be a rapper Our culture is so strong that Gogo shaped Our city so Like do you feel now In this day and age that Gogo Has lost something as luster and as thunder You know in the city do you think Not nationwide cause it's always been a cult You know an internal thing for us But do you think that in the city it still Gets the type of appreciation that it should Being as though it's so major for who we are As the people coming from DC Well as far as at home I feel like That DC rap has Took it over the city I feel like Rap shows, rap concerts Open mics, rappers and singers Period are being supported more As far as crowd wise Versus Gogo now So to answer that question I feel like Rap has took it over the city But Gogo is forever the Solidified bottom line of DC You know what I'm saying There's a Gogo every night Seven nights a week in DC In DC I was so sick man I remember when I was in Younger I was mad at what happened to the life Niggas with the fuck type of moves Oh yeah they tried to put up moves Wrong niggas And that's just like an uptown nigga To be on point what's up I got too much money You know what the fuck Y'all got the whole Shit, y'all make sure y'all Get there right man get the lights back right I got too much money on me I was so sick when Chuck Brown Because Chuck Brown I was always I used to watch the abex tape when I was young And I was always geeked out to go to a Chuck's show When he passed before I was old enough to go But just that part of the city Like you know I feel like The rap has taken over but For somebody like you to still say that Gogo is the bottom line and it gives it You know it still breathes that heartbeat that we need For that because it's so big in our culture Absolutely I also wanted to ask you man People don't understand we come from We deal with a lot of pain man I think that plays into like we were talking about Before we start shooting just Our mentality coming from the city And how fucked up it can be at times You know what I mean and I think that comes from a lot of You know untapped trauma that we've been through Like for example you know I done lost so many friends The violence in the streets my father got killed Uncle's cousins friends You know seeing it being around it Being a part of all types so If you can give the people watching An example of what help you get through A lot of the shit that you done been through What would it be? An example of something Something specific that you do That gets you through the trauma that we go through Because I think a lot of people need those Pointers to get through the shit that they go through Out here and they don't a lot of niggas speak on it That ain't ever been through it but we didn't really Been through it so I want to get some of your shit So I think one of the biggest things For me to help me get over the You know the violence in DC Throwing myself into my work Throwing myself into My job like the studio Time shooting videos Interviews whatever just Constantly trying to evolve my craft It It didn't ever blindside me from The facts of what Went on in my life in DC But it helped me cope with it better Because I try to implement Like you know my brother got killed While I was in prison I tried to be a recipe's booster You know I try to Keep him you know make song titles Out to him, tape titles out to him And I got him in my chain like Just to always keep him close to me You know what I'm saying but my chain Is a part of my work too you know what I'm saying My music you know boosters keep I'm creating a whole album title Boosters keep you know in that whole track I'm just pulling my heart out about My real life situations you know what I'm saying These ain't no club songs That I wrote in prison you know what I'm saying So that helped me cope With it a lot you know what I'm saying Just staying busy with my work now I know A lot of people in the world like Deal with things different types of Ways but like that was just one of the main Ways for me personally just throwing myself Into my music all the way and speaking Of the music man like I'm a fan I've been a fan for a long time I remember the first time I seen you On YouTube with that fat food That's all nigga no scholarship But I balled nigga clock don't come out To fall nigga hollow tips go through walls Nigga I mean like I was like oh I know With that nigga from before I even I mean you with this shirt off in the Motherfuckin apartment with your phones On I'm like that nigga look like me I'm telling you what I'm saying Like from that point to now Like what do you think you've learned In your journey that you would say Is most important of that trail Still being as sharp as you Are on your pen and in the studio What do you think is the thing that Make you from being that raw young nigga Out the streets of DC to now being Somebody who has accomplished all that you Accomplished what do you think keeps you Still raw as you because you know a lot of People get on and then lose that lust And that ability to be able to be You know to make you fill them in the studio You haven't lost that not one bit So how do you think you kept that I think for me personally First of all like music Is I actually love music You know what I'm saying I don't This is my job this is my I make a living off of it so I feed my family And pay my bills but Music first is my first love First you know what I'm saying like Before I turn it into a business I just love music you know what I'm saying So number one like I hate to sound Clichever like perfect In my craft like practice make perfect You didn't actually say that to the younger Kids all the time or you know You hear lawyers come Beaches at class or whatever and they tell y'all Like stay at your work and practice make perfect And it sound corny but it actually Like work you know what I'm saying Like because when you dedicate yourself To one thing and one thing only How can you not become great at it You know what I'm saying and so I feel like man music Saved my life so you know That's why I gotta go hard and stay With it because it saved my life And it's like a coping mechanism For me you know what I'm saying Yeah how to ease the pain Some people cut themselves to ease the pain Some people run You know people run in a day and a night To ease the pain me it was always music Music every move Angry sad happy Turned up whatever it was always music That took me all the way now Coming from the city man I don't know if this is a plot of you but A lot of people always be on me because I ride around listening to old school music All the time snub like I'm 70 years old I ride around Listen I'm talking about I'm pulling up all All the 102 Jet you know I mean that type of station Them type of music so like Did that influence you at all? Does the Music that we grew up on and that old School flavor that we come from out the city How big of an influence was that on you Of course absolutely and I'm not saying This to answer that question right I'm not saying this because I'm saying it with you All my men from around my way All my parents bitches I done dealt with All I do is ride around and I need a baker Marvin Gaye all day all night When I got my first car My mother made a CD I didn't even know You could do this at the time My mother made a CD people like 130 Old songs on it 3 Yeah but it was a CD though I didn't know that you could put 130 songs On one CD you know what I'm saying But she gave it to me like That my first car that's all I rode around to I grew up on the need to bake a man Every night of the week my mother come Home from work she put that a needle on I used to think it was my aunt I used to say she was a part of my family Because every time you come in the house Coming from outside riding around Whatever we was doing you come in you hear that All day long And I can hear that and I ask you that Because I can hear that in your music The melodic nature of your music One of my favorite songs about you was Phyllis And you can hear the melodic nature Of just the influence that You know I just wanted to know where it came from If you had that old school influence It's definitely an old school influence But it's also mixed with Go Go Everything ties all the way back Into Go Go you know what I'm saying I started rapping on Go Go beats I started you know I used to play for a band called Hardcore Band You know what I'm saying like when I was young Like in the 8th and 9th graders See they weren't called Hardcore Band 3 letters H-C-B I used to loop to all the members of H-C-B Wherever you think it's a success Yeah Earl was the lead mic But um My other influence as far as my music It ties back to Go Go You know what I'm saying Chuck Wink from Back Y'all You know what I'm saying I forgot his name, T-C-B I think it's Corey from T-C-B Like hearing them sing You know what I'm saying Yeah nigga, yeah all the way Or even with the When the beat come You're the first to run Like nigga you hear that That's not your gun It belongs to All the way So uh You know just all of that man is I gotta ask you this What was your first Go Go What was the first Go Go you went to What was the tunnel The O-G-C star And the band Was T-O-B T-O-B man My first one was the black hole Back Y'all I never forget I'm a nigga The bitches from the 40's used to wear The army for T-Shit And that's the thing a lot of people don't know About the Go Go Slim I always tell people all the time If you in the city and you beefing With it's gonna be it Am I seeing the The girls from the 40's Whoop niggas It was like where am I I'm like 14 and that bitch I ain't even supposed to be in there I'm like man this is amazing And that shit was turned And it's the crazy that it don't affect That's like a lot of people would see that And that's what I say about our mentality A lot of people would see that and be like And we be like niggas I ain't gonna screw them all That's the thing that I take with me When I go everywhere because I haven't been all over the world Man and you know I wear DC on my back Everywhere And you know for me I think one of the most important things That I like to get out about the city Because we went through a lot of gentrification And a lot of the shit that places that we grew up Loving I dare no more Like I try to express and be a walking You know personification of the culture That comes from our city so if you could say What is one of your favorite things One of your favorite DC The cultural things that only we know What is one of your favorite One of my favorite things That only a Washingtonian would know I guess it's like Whatever having a day In the city You know what I'm saying we going to East Street day We going to Surgeon Court today We going to 640 day y'all Southwest got a day y'all We talking about the summers That's what made the summers Summertime Every hood had a day and a day We go around a hood and everybody just Deep the shit in this out there We all love we got the crap man We got the bitches down the street Niggas making sales over here But like it was just a turn day In the city you know what I'm saying Peaceful everybody all having fun That's one of my main Number one things I love about the city I used to keep We bought outfits for the day What I was about to say for me Is the clothing The man is the all day The shooters and then how you can identify What section of the city a nigga was From based on what he had on And a lot of people don't know that That part of us is so important That's why I say DC is his own world We never had to leave for nothing We had our own clothes, our own music Our own way of doing everything But for me I'm glad that We are in a position to be able to Spread that around the world because in my opinion A lot of the reasons why Any city I haven't been all over America Was everywhere twice The places that you don't know is because You never had nobody come out and narrate That city story and you were One of the narrators of DC man And you have been doing an amazing job At it man and I can't tell you enough So I'm like from coming from the city So driven by Gogo for you to make The transition that you made And be one of the pioneers of DC rap It can't never take that away from Them all the way and Speaking of the music because that's what we hear about now Why did you pick the songs you performed Why them three because you got so many Why those three that you picked to come And show the people on 85 You know I think Festa is one of the Our first singles that's dropping off My next project, you know what I'm saying Nightmare on E Street 2 You call it Nightmare on E Street 2 Yeah I'm taking it back Uh oh You niggas is in trouble I'm
