Brownsville, Brooklyn, yeah I thought you was from the Bronx Everybody always thinks I'm from the Bronx Why? I thought you was from the Bronx Why? Cause I'm half Spanish Like I understand, like Nah, cause I'm from Brooklyn And I'm like, yo, she... Nah, I'm from Bronx, from Brooklyn I've been together with Brooklyn So I'm like, yeah, nah Everybody always thinks I'm from the Bronx It's like, it's crazy I mean, no disrespect to the Bronx But I'm from Brooklyn No, disrespect to the Bronx Fuck it, disrespect to the Bronx I'm from Brooklyn But how did you get started into music though? Honestly, I always been into the culture I used to be a choreographer So I was always in tune with music Like since young, yeah Like I was always like Everything I revolved myself around was music Okay But if you mean getting really into rap Yeah Honestly, I just felt like it was time I have an event planning business And I was doing that for a little while And honestly, one day I looked at myself picking up boxes And I was like, this is not what I'm in this... This is not what I'm here for I'm meant to be something big I always used to write and shit So I was like, I'ma try it Okay And what was through your first studio session? Was you telling your friends you're gonna try it? Cause you went from an event planning Yeah They was looking at me like stuff You were in rap? Yeah They was like, you dead ass Like my manager right now He was telling me to stick to event planning So my first studio session That's when everybody was like, alright Maybe we could do this Yeah Alright So they were supportive of getting on board Or it took a little time? After my first session They were supportive But before, when I was telling them They were like nah Okay, so they had to hear it first Yeah, basically Okay And then when hearing it Did you release that first song ever? No So how do you feel about it now though? I hate it Honestly Even the first song that I ever put out It was called Running I'd be embarrassed Like my first two I'll say my like my first two tracks I'd be like, yo, can we like delete it? They like nah Like they like let people see your growth And you feel like You want to delete it though? I still want to delete it What don't you like about them? I just feel like I just sound so much better now And I feel like now I know the direction of music That I want to go Okay It's just I don't know Like when you first start something You'd be a little embarrassed Like You're not the first one Yeah Alright But you being a choreographer Makes sense Because I was saying like You be dancing in videos Yeah Because they gonna be Girl be getting down Yes And when you perform You always have dancers Mm-hmm So I think So dance is important to you For the whole Yeah, that's why like When people see that I have dances It's not like Oh, Steph just wanted to add Dancers in there It's really a part of who I am Mm-hmm Like I have to have dances in my Like, you know, whenever I could Because, you know, everything's a budget Or whatever So I try to incorporate them The most I can Okay And do you feel like Dancers don't get enough support In the industry? I feel like They don't get paid enough Okay I feel like They don't get the recognition That they deserve Because it's like, you know First of all It's a whole bunch of dances Mm-hmm Like, so it's You know, I always try to Shine light on them The most I can Because of that And do you think Tiktok Is helping or hurting? I think Tiktok Is helping My team Be on my ass because of that They be like, Steph I'm on Tiktok But I'm not on Tiktok If that makes sense I'm about to say If you want dancer Why are you not dancing? Yes Girl I need to get on it I need to get on it I ain't going to lie to you Okay So like Because you know like Dancers right now Are starting trends And stuff like that Mm-hmm So you You doing some of the trends Or you ain't doing nothing No, but I'm going to start You're going to start seeing me You know what it is? I don't know what it is Never going Tiktok Like my mind is like Going Instagram Now I'm starting to get on Twitter Now next up is Tiktok I'm going to be on there Y'all going to see me soon So you fucking with like The hips against 30 and all that stuff? Yeah Okay Well I can't really I feel like I'm too thick To get 30 I be trying Be like, yo I got to get it together Okay So do you feel like I mean you being a choreographer Was we doing that Back in the day? Like I don't remember that I feel like now Everybody know how to dance It's like I feel like it's more of like a broad Like everybody knows how to get sturdy Everybody know how to do Like the little hips or whatever I feel like back then If you know how to dance It was like, oh my god They could dance Now it's like It's like a requirement And Tiktok That's what I mean That's what I'm saying Like do you think Tiktok Was helping to hurt him Because like some people Don't It's some artists That don't dance That be like Now I'm not doing Tiktok Because I'm not dancing So I feel like yeah It could hurt Some people But I just feel like You just got to get in tune It is what it is So Before Well you was You was bartending too So that was before I've been playing it or after Yup So I started bartending And then I left bartending I started my own business Was there a reason you left? I just felt like I don't know I just felt like It was My time was up I feel like I didn't even do it for long I literally did it only For a few years I got my name up What makes you feel like Your time was up though I just felt like That's not what I wanted To do anymore It was just a lot of bullshit Going on So the drama wasn't worth it It was just It was just too much People say they make good money No You make great money In bartending So you saying the drama Was not worth the dollar It was not only that I just felt like It was time to move on Okay But then you never Planted Yeah So I started my own business It was going good I stuck that first And I make sure I become good at Whatever I'm doing So I got really lit I started doing my You know I still have it It's just You know I do both now Okay So you were still doing Event planning Planning things Well now I don't have the time To actually Go doing myself Yeah But I have a team Yeah That handles it And then music So you been doing music For how long now I'm fresh I have like a year And some change Okay Yeah What's it going for you In the next like five years Where Steph G I'm gonna be big Okay Like what's big to you I'm gonna be a superstar Megastar Yeah Like I definitely See myself everywhere I see myself international Especially with the type Of music that I do I feel like I'm not just New York I feel like I'm more worldwide And you know It's just gonna take a little Time But it's gonna get there Yeah And I see you incorporate The Spanish into you Yeah I'm gonna keep doing that So everybody loves it It's creative It makes you stand out Yeah That's what I be trying to tell my team I'm like Everybody tells me the same thing Which you just told me They be like Even the labels They be like saying Like oh the Spanish drill That makes you different So I still Definitely want to still Incorporate it But I Don't want it to be where People see me Like that's all she does Okay So I'm still gonna do it But I'm still be doing Other stuff too Okay so they saying Spanish drill Labels I'm hearing labels That's what they're saying So you feel like you drill I don't feel like I'm drill Like I feel like my drill is different Okay And what do you feel like Makes the song drill though I feel like the cadence These lyrics Or just the cadence The cadence and some lyrics too Like I feel like when I jump Jump on drill People don't really Look at it like Oh she's drilling I feel like they just Like okay she makes it Sound good Or whatever You know it's like a bop But when other people drill I feel like It's like alright now Like they're talking about Really you know Spending the block I'm not really talking about that So it's you know It's different for me Okay So what type of artist I guess would you want to Be known as Definitely versatile Yeah definitely So artist overall Yeah I don't want to put Myself in a box So do you feel like You're still figuring out What lane you're going in Or are you just trying To work on being versatile Now Or like what do you think Well in my tape I feel like my tape Definitely showed The lane that I'm trying to go Which is I have like a little Like trap R&B I have I still have drill And I still have like Boppy music Yeah So I feel like That's the lane that I'm focusing on So Boppy music Definitely something to dance to Yeah Like club music Right Cause then And then I have some Heartfelt shit in there too Because then P Y'all was dancing Which one P Push It's not pushing T Or power Oh P power P power That's for the ladies Yes Yeah that's for the ladies You know it's crazy A year ago I just put it off So you behold the music I behold the music I have an issue with that though A year ago I did that when I first Started rapping Okay So people I think nowadays People are struggling With making Thomas music Do you feel like You're making Thomas music Or do you feel like You could hear something from A year ago But like now I want to fix it Or I want to do it over Like what do you think And that's my problem I always hate my music But my team Like stuff You have to put it out You might not like it But they're like Your fans might like it So put it out So that's really like A constant battle Between me and my team It's like We'll be making you Not like it though Like is it you I get older music Cause I just feel like I get better I feel like Now I understand The type of music That my fan base like Okay So And so They're like In the pop We need stuff That you're doing right now I feel like They still like My real shit But that's my thing Like it's like Real music But now I'm trying to transition To a more commercial space Okay So it's like Because Danger Zone Was the That was the one I love Danger Zone I haven't gave up on Danger Zone By the way No Nothing you gave up on it But I feel like When I hear you That's the first song I think of Yeah People be like Yo I'm like I know Like I still have faith In Danger Zone Not for real What does that mean though I'm like I'm like I'm like A woman that takes advantage Of men Like she It really means abuser But that's not how I'm using it Like The way the original song uses Is like Oh like a girl that she just Knows she could get what she wants So she abuses the power That she has Okay Towards men Okay So you think that's a part I feel like Is that the way you brand In yourself Is that kind of the image You want Well the image The image that I want Is just like that fun girl That doesn't give a fuck Like I'm out here I'm having a good time Say what you want The reason I ask is Steph G What does the G represent to you though The G Well Number one is my last name But of course You know my slogan is Like a G So you know it's just a person Like me It really defines me Like I feel

like the girls Definitely do anything And I feel like y'all Moving a lot more Than the guys on it right now I feel like people Are accepting women more Which is like It's a great thing But Yeah I don't have a problem with that At all Okay And so like What would you say is I guess your biggest accomplishment This year overall Mmm Definitely put it on my tape Honestly put it on my tape Have you been sitting on it For a long time Yes That's the thing I've been sitting on it But I've been sitting on it For good reasons Because The last additions To the tape Were one of the best Additions to the tape So I feel like It was like Okay You're waiting to make sure That your project Is perfect But I feel like it was solid And was it that You always felt like It wasn't ready Or you wanted more features Like what was No it wasn't even about features I just I just wanted it to be The way I imagined it Okay And when I first Because I wanted to put on My tape the first Two months that I came out I wasn't ready Okay And I feel like Nobody was going to listen to It's like People I'm still You know I'm still growing A fan base to this day So I feel like I just needed time Okay What was the right time Was you feel like You had the body of work You feel like you Improved enough To where it was ready To release the project I feel like it was time It was just like That feeling Like I can't even explain it Yeah it was just like Alright it's time Put it out Just put it out Yeah It's definitely Unexplainable And then Hmm Okay Your music videos Creative Every time What's your favorite one My favorite one I think is power P Only because Y'all was in the gym P-Power Yes And y'all had the moves And then I liked it The graffiti on the T's It was really like Yeah I tried to get Recreated

in Texas Oh my God I knew it was like She's crazy Y'all traveling with it too Yeah So do you like Like People say like New York Is like Kind of like Crabs in a barrel bucket Crabs in a barrel type of thing Do you feel like that Do you feel like You get more love When you go out of state Or like what do you What are your thoughts on that I definitely I love my city But I feel like Every time I go out My city I get crazy love Hmm And I just be like Damn Like I want this From my city Okay Like I don't want it Just when I go To Texas Or when I go to Connecticut I want it in my city And I learned that just It is what it is And the city will follow eventually How do you feel about the whole King of New York thing The king in like Queen of New York Yeah when people were like Oh I'm the king of New York And six now I was doing it Now with TJ then five It was just like a lot of King, queen, things Yeah I mean I even said it in my song I feel like it's like A eagle type thing Hmm Um I feel like Nobody could Really take that title Okay I feel like we have one though Or nah it's nobody In versus like King Yeah like King and queen of like New York I guess Do we have one If like it's not Everybody doing anything I feel like of course There's gonna always be Somebody that's more Relevant like You know Niki She got that So with King I don't know about King To be honest Yeah the guys be They be arguing about that Yeah Yeah the guys just be They be going back and forth with it But I feel like A lot of people agree When it comes to like The queen and shit For sure for sure So you feel like you're a barb Um I wouldn't say a barb But I fuck with Niki Okay Because the bars are going crazy They do They be going in That's why I wouldn't call myself a barb Because I'm not there like In the internet I'm not doing that But I fuck with her Okay Okay So Okay Do people confuse you with Chef G? Oh the mother Hi I be like It's Steph G Stop playing with me Not Chef G Steph G Okay Oh this is This is Chef G Little cousin I be like No the fuck is not Yeah like Stop playing with me Oh she from Brooklyn too Okay It's Steph G Stop playing with me But has he reached out Well he been in jail The funny part is that I don't know if you saw my video No Emotions That was like when people first Started paying attention to me Go back to it but He was supposed to be on that Oh What happened Um well Like we was just doing a lot of back and forth And then he went to jail so Mmm Yeah That's Yeah but I wanted it Cause I was like alright Y'all gonna keep talking about Chef G and Steph G We're gonna do a song together That's nice And I'm that type Like you compare me to somebody Alright we're gonna work together now Okay so since you said that What's up with you and DreamDaw Are y'all gonna get a song That's Eventually that's gonna happen too Cause people always They love comparing me to her Yes Alright so long as we're gonna get a song Yeah Yeah I fuck with DreamDaw Alright So Halloween You viral Yeah You dressed up as Christiana Rock Was you expecting that That whole like Woo Nah I ain't expecting to go that crazy Like I knew it was gonna make some noise Cause I was like nah like You know what's crazy Nah I gotta tell you You know what's crazy I did this look a week before Halloween Really Yes so we held on to the look Okay We held on to it and then I seen Lizzo on the blogs I was like oh fuck Like I was like damn I thought I was gonna be the first one to do it Cause you know Everybody always want to be like The first one to do something Right When I seen her I got type But I was like fuck it I was like it is what it is I was like I got the missing tooth Ain't nobody fucking with my look So I put it out like two days later And then the shit just went Crazy Did she hit you? Did she like it? Did she come in? Yeah she did She was like she was honored or whatever So what made you do it? Like you been thought of that or like I've been thought of it So you plan to be Christiana Rock So you like her? Fuck her I thought it was a cool idea Okay Yeah I thought it was a cool idea Nah yeah I fuck with her too What do you feel about that whole relationship? She reminds me a lot of when I was younger Like on some real shit Like I was like that I was in a relationship and I was You know I was infatuated with my man So she really reminded me of me When I was young Okay So that's one of the reasons why I was like I gotta be her for Halloween Do you feel like it's a face That we all get over as women Or you feel like it might stick with you Or you feel like what do you think? It's a face So you think it's definitely get overable? Yeah For sure I'm telling you I was there Okay And I would never touch that man Ever in my life again Okay you do think Christiana will get to that point? She will Okay She will Cause right now it don't seem like Nah right now she She still love him So she's still gonna be there But eventually that's gonna pass Eventually So How do you feel about relationships in the industry? Honestly I don't like I be having a whole bunch of guys A whole bunch of rappers in my DMs I'm that I fucking that Yeah like I don't I'm I'm not saying it won't happen Okay But I just rather not right now I feel like it's a distraction to be honest So like what's been like The I guess the most craziest way That they been shooting shot Or they trying to get at you They always try to hit you with like Less work So it's all less work And then it's all Come to my crib Let's do this No, ain't no crib Ain't no none of that What a studio What we want to the studio is a dub Okay So yeah It always starts off as just less work Cause they know that's how they gonna get me But you know Niggas might even go to excel Like y'all I pay for a feature Like they They do that too Yes They even willing to pay But I read through people Like I be like alright so Send me the song Send me this You ready? Let's go And then it be It just be all cat So is it because you're more serious About how you want to push your music Or is that you really not interested In the whole dating or rapper thing Or whoever in the industry Or do you feel like the time Will come when it comes What do you think? Well honestly right now I'm just really focused To be honest I don't need no distractions at all Okay It could be a rapper It could be a nine to five I just know I don't want it No nothing right now Not right now I don't want it So I just feel like When it happens That's it Okay And what do you feel like is the most Common misconception about you People think I'm stuck up Really? They think I'm a bitch I watch your interviews And they don't give that though People still think I'm a bitch Well maybe if you watch my interviews It's a little different Yeah But off like my Instagram And You don't really like go live Or like we don't really like Who talk about your Instagram Maybe that's what it is It's been a while I ain't gonna lie I used to go live a lot Okay It's been a minute I've just been so busy With my tape And you're right I need to start going live more Maybe that's why they think You're stuck up Yeah they just look at my pictures And they're like Oh she's stuck up Okay So Do you want to change that narrative Or you don't care Nah I definitely I feel like my team Like they be honest They be like Steph you gotta show your personality More Like they like People need to see Who you really are Not just in videos Not just On your pictures You know Being a little bit more out there How do you feel like You want to do that though Because people are doing The YouTube shit The pranks Yeah I have a couple things In works In the works So definitely like Broadcast my personality But you know I'm gonna definitely go live More too You know what I'm gonna go live Right after this Just for that Yeah I was there I don't really see it go live I was here took But I had to see it through So So Yeah definitely going live And talk to the people Do you feel like A lot of artists Are going on Twitch now And doing all this other stuff Yeah I've been hearing about I think that's a good thing about Bad thing I've been hearing about Twitch Little baby was on Twitch You should definitely Know a little something about Twitch Yeah honestly I haven't really tapped Into Twitch like that But my boy He just told me He was like that They be sending him money For no reason How they do I need to get on Twitch That I But people are Kind of like Joke at those artists That do get on Twitch Check them out Like then that's not Being a rapper I guess Well they say the same thing About reality TV Like I got some offers For reality TV And I turned them down Because I feel like Sometimes Reality TV Definitely takes away From your whole Like rapping Persona They don't take you serious I heard a couple people Talk about it too So Maybe that's the same Situation with Twitch But you definitely Would never do Like reality TV I'm not saying I Never would But not right now Okay And Because you just Focus on music right now I'm focused on music I feel like I need to gain my Full respect I feel like a lot of people Are starting to respect But I want to gain My full respect As a rapper first And then maybe I could do Other shit on the side So would you do acting Or Yeah I definitely Want to do some acting Okay Okay So You sampled If I ruled the world You was fucking with it Yes I was How do you feel about Sampling Iconic songs like that Do you feel like It's harder to write Do you can write as well Yeah of course I know but like Sampling Iconic songs too It's harder Okay Like It's harder because People have such A high expectation When it's Something that an icon did Like if you Not gonna out wrap them Or make it creative In a certain way I feel like You shouldn't do it Yeah Even then That was like My beginning stages I was like fuck it But I feel like My video Was so creative And I actually Pay homage That people accepted it Because of that reason I still be getting backlash though You think so They still like Yeah they still be like Oh you cannot You cannot do this This is Nas Like I still got A couple of those But for the most part It was good Okay do you feel like It's any song That absolutely Should not get touched though No I feel like Really You feel like Any song is valid To get touched Listen the way Everybody's sampling everything No Nothing is I know I don't know if I like that though Yep nowadays Nobody has They don't care I think like I feel like if you're gonna do it You just have to do it right And you should pay homage That's what I feel Yeah nobody really Paying homage If you pay homage I feel like it's cool But you gotta do it right Mm-hmm Like what song You think should it be touched Probably like a couple Michael Jackson songs Oh Michael Jackson I love him Oh my god I like I think this is fucking with Aliyah's song So I can't even say her Yeah But um I don't think those should have really fucked with it Like Aliyah and Michael Jackson Some people that passed away That had like You know But what funny is they still touch it Yeah I know Especially in drill They're touching anything Yeah How do you feel about that whole like Um I guess drill How do you feel about drill overall Let me say that Um I feel like it's something that Um I just go back to like When I was younger Mm-hmm And um People like Especially like my aunts And my uncles They'll be like Oh yeah music is trash Mm-hmm So I look at it the same way Like You can't judge the music Because this is what The youth likes right now Like Right So I feel like You just gotta respect it I'm telling the thing When my mom was playing music Did I used to feel like it was trash Some songs Some songs we thought was trash We were just like Okay like We probably listen to like The coolest shit But a lot of songs Probably thought was trash Yeah like We listen to like The few iconic songs Probably that we thought was good But I just look at it like You know The generation Is changing Every Few years So you just have to adapt Um I do feel though Like drill I just wish it was A little bit more broad I don't see it Being international That's the only problem I have with drill Well It kinda is Because from UK drill I guess Yeah but Do you see it like global? Um I would like to hope so one day I feel like it has a potential too But people just have to accept it Okay And what's the reason you think it won't go global And I'll say my reason I don't know I'm just looking at how people Like Overall what people listen to And um I look at numbers I'm very Statistics or whatever So I just look at numbers like Everybody has to accept it For it to be really global It has a potential Now let me tell you Definitely good I was gonna say I think it's It's gonna take a while to go global Because This thing and people don't understand That's a thing And people are trying to get into it With the voices Yeah cause it's new It's new But I feel like people just have to adapt Even the whole Batman voice thing I guess How you feel about that I mean It's not what I would do But I respect it Okay Because it's different Okay And it's definitely something That makes people stand out Okay I'm not really hearing that everywhere Yeah you're not hearing that Yeah so I I respect that it's different So remember when The mayor and stuff Trying to like Be in drill music And stuff like that Yeah Was you a little worried Since people kinda say You like a drill artist Was you worried? Um I wasn't worried Because You knew what you had in the touch Yeah It was like It was like Okay I do drill But I have other stuff too So it's like It's not That's not my only Form of rap So I wasn't really too worried Alright but what are your thoughts on it? Do you feel like It's possible to Be in it? Do you think people should be in it? Or what do you think? Nah I don't think it should be in it Yeah Yeah I I was not okay with that I was like You know like That's a form of expression I feel like that's Something that Defines New York too Like New York is drill Okay So I felt like That's That's fucked up I wasn't agreeing with that Okay Maybe change it up a little bit Maybe if they have to But I don't think it should be in it Do you feel like We'd be setting trends in New York? Hell yeah Okay People love people from New York Every time I go out of state They love me So What trends do you think we set? The Timbs The what? The Timbs The Timbs Definitely the Timbs Um The weight or swag I feel like our swag It's just different from everybody Right Like you could tell when you're from New York Right Um So the reason I asked Was cause Diddy Went on a breakfast club And he was like New York and really No trends He was more so talking about The music though I saw that So what do you think on that On the music side of things? I feel like that's kind of Crazy of him to say because The way we do our drill Nobody else do it like that So that's already a trend So for him to say that We not setting trends Is kind of crazy Yeah And how do you feel about like I guess the OGs kind of Tapping with the newbies That's coming up I feel like it happens sometimes But it doesn't happen much I feel like it should happen more often More often Yeah of course Um Like how In what way I feel like Um I feel like The older people should definitely mentor More of the younger people because You know The older people are so quick to always be like Oh the younger music generation is trash Okay so mentor us And what made you great Okay Why was you great Help us become great too Like maybe with my little flavor And your You know Like your mentorship It could be something fire Would you be open to someone mentoring you Hell yeah Like who Give me an example Um definitely Um Lauren Hill I would say like Missy Because I love her creativity On her videos Okay I see that Yeah I see that If Aliyah was alive Definitely Aliyah Okay Um Nakey too Any guys Or just more girls Any guys yeah Drake I love Drake Okay Drake Yeah You know The thing I like about Drake is He be tapping with the young people But they don't always be music So like he did I seen he just did He got a clothing brand coming And he put like Um D.D. Osam and all the kids From Harlem and then That's fire yeah But he also remember He was the first to kind of Do the song of Fabio And stuff like that too Yeah I feel like he always Try to tap in What was going on Yeah But that's what makes him great too Yeah Cause it's not like He's not like In his head like no It's just My type of music And I don't know He knows he has to Tap in with the youth The youth is Was lit right now Yeah So I do know that you're a mom You have a daughter or something Son Son Okay how old Six Okay Yeah Okay I don't talk about my son too much Okay Cause I know cause I've seen the previous But I don't see like No pictures though It's real private I have two But I don't talk about them Okay That's why Cause Music wise So When they On like YouTube And shit like that And I hear something like Like if I just hear curses period Okay But what you listen to What you listen to Whatever So I try like Like I try to filter it But I'm just like Whether I'm not I'm here or not They're gonna listen to it So I just try to talk to them a lot Like I just be like You know like You shouldn't be saying that You shouldn't be listening to that Though this is not good It's not what you're supposed to be doing I just try to talk Okay And then Do they know your music? Or do you You ever play them your music? Yeah they know my music So they fuck with it? Yeah Okay so that's cute Yeah Okay Do you try to make songs That they could also listen to too? Or Nah Okay At least you cap it a buck At least you cap it a buck At least you cap it a buck That's like some songs I be like Yeah you can't listen to them It's like It's not for you Okay But is that something You want to work on though Like in the near future Maybe What you want to work on is Just like kids Trying to be a little bit more commercial Okay Where it's like Even if the chorus At least the chorus could be Kid friendly Okay Cause I feel like Kids are a big part of music Mm-hmm In TikTok And everything So I'm definitely trying to Make music where the kids Could dance to So everybody can dance to Okay So you definitely want to Make dancing music though For a fact Yeah Okay How you feel about the whole Jersey sound I'm fucking with it I did one Downfall I did it as a freestyle I didn't really put on my tape Or anything like that Cause it was like a test But I'm gonna I'll fuck with it Any artists from it specifically Or just you just fucking What the whole thing Nah I'm just I'm messing with the music I don't really know The artist is too much Okay But my engineer Shout out to Amrit He's trying to put me on He's alright So if you're gonna be doing Jersey music You have to do songs With this or this So he's like putting me on Okay Yeah you seem like You only really Like listen to yourself And like You know what I mean Like close circle Yeah It's bad right Um Just I just wonder like Where you get your creativity From then I don't know Like I still listen To other people Right It's just not how I used to listen to it Before Like before I was like a music fanatic Like anybody drop I'm listening to the tape The same day Oh so you're not there At 12 am No I'm not at 12 am No more Like I'ma listen The next two days Okay The next three days I'ma listen But it's just not like How it was before So I still listen to other people Music But like I'm outside I see videos Yeah so I'm still in tune Okay are you listening To projects Or are you listening to singles I'm more of a project person Okay Yeah So Drake 21 You was sucking with it Yeah Favorite song I would say A major distribution Okay Yeah Okay I think Mons is like Rich Flex Oh Rich Flex was fired too That one too Yeah Yeah So like Joint projects How do you feel about that Do you feel like you were doing If I wanted to Yeah Eventually not yet though Who would you want to do I don't know yet My dream feature is Drake So whenever he ready I'm ready Whenever he ready Whenever he ready I'm ready Okay Alright Okay So So basically You know industry The industry is very cutthroat Have you learned from experience Or is that just what you hear I've heard stuff Or whatever but I don't like that should stop me Like it's not It never been something so big Where it's affected my work Maybe I haven't experienced it yet So where it's like damn This shit is really cutthroat Cause Yeah Whatever happens I just keep going I'm gonna play Have you ever been in a situation Where you had to get G On a situation in the industry Or you felt like they were trying to Play with you When you had to put your foot down Or any ever There was definitely this one time That we was in a showcase And they were trying to play me I was like the beginning too Like they were trying to play me Like with my music And when I was going It was just It was some real crazy And me and my team You know you had to get a little crazy Okay I felt like once people know They could play with you They keep playing with you So sometimes you just have to stop it So once you set the record straight It never happened again No Okay good That's good Okay So So how What are your thoughts on like labels right now I respect the labels I respect what they do But I feel like I don't need them right now Not right now Not right now Yeah Do you feel like an artist Can make it like without a label though I think it's possible It's just definitely going to be harder Okay Because I feel like the labels They just have like Certain perks And they could just push you to another level That's why I respect the labels Because they I feel like labels could do things that You by yourself You can't do Okay yeah Yeah like You know like when you drop The labels is going to Make sure everybody sees it Versus yourself It's going to be a little bit harder For you to be out there People are scared of labels I guess because of deals And certain contracts and stuff like that Are you got a concern of you Do you feel like you know your research What do you think Yeah this is why I'm very careful And this is why people be like Oh are you planning to get signed I'm like Yeah if everything is right Everything has to make sense for me If not I'm not signing So what does being right look like People say Oh I want a million dollars advance Yeah honestly for me It's not even too much about that advance It's also about like I definitely want to keep Most of my masters Okay I definitely you know It's just certain things that Publishing Yeah publishing all of that It has to make sense for me Okay Do you want to keep your team Are you open to that I definitely want to keep my team That's another thing Okay Yeah I'm very loyal Like the people that's Grinding with me I definitely want them to be With me When I'm signed as well Oh okay Yeah So Well I'm as well So Let's say Sign a deal Mm-hmm What is a big I guess Give or gesture You would do for your team For them being with you Every step of the way Well I always say They here so precious now Yeah No so My ideal thing is I definitely want to get Like a big ass mansion Okay So you want to live with them Yes I want my whole team I want my whole team To live with me Okay Even if it's not with me I'ma have my own house too Don't get me twisted Like I'ma have my own crib And I'ma come When I need my team around I definitely want to get I want to take care of them Okay They've been with me So it's like It's only right And definitely want to put them In position to make money Everybody's getting a certain job Okay Being in the spotlight Does it ever get annoying That you can't like The most annoying part I ain't gonna lie to you Is when I'm in the half And I look like shit And people be like Steph G Yo That gets me so upset Cause I'm like I'ma be forgetting Like people Like you know now I'ma look It's a little different Like people do recognize me And I just
