Okay. Harlem. Okay. And what was it like growing up over there? Regular shit that goes on the streets. Niggas had a rough. Niggas made a way though. Okay. And so how you got into the music? I always fuck with the music back and forth and shit. I never took it serious until one day I was like, oh fuck it, I'm trying to go into the studio. I'm just gonna cop some equipment, meet no bros, grab some equipment and shit from online. Just made a little studio in my room and shit. And then shit went up after that. We just stuck on that shit. Just recording myself and shit. Making tunes and shit. All right. So around when was this? I'll say like 2019. The end of 2018, 2019. That's when Niggas really, that's how I really took it serious. I'm so serious, serious shit. Okay. So when you was getting the equipment, you was learning how to engineer. You was collecting beats? Yeah. Like my man's, my man's knew how to engineer ready. But I just picked it up from him and shit. Just watch him and shit. Watch him and fuck with this shit. Yo bro, how you do this? How you do that? Shout out to my, shout out to bro, my son Amati. Yeah, bro. I mean I just picked it up from bro after that I just started recording myself. I started recording the bros. Okay. So you recorded something you friends before? Yeah, it's a fact. Okay. My son, my son Jaja, my son Tombi. Okay. My son Bando. Niggas, it's so crazy. There's so many names, bro, like that. Niggas, I ain't took them too much, but Niggas really. Like they come in, they about to drop or what? Oh yeah, that's a fact. Are they dropping? I got a couple of the bros dropping some shit real soon. Okay. Tombi about to drop. I mean Tombi about to drop. A couple of bros about to drop. Okay. So from, so you was practicing in the house, so when did you go to like a real studio, like a fashion studio? It was like, nah, I gotta get it right. Or you always tried to better your equipment or like what? The real reason why I really started my own studio too for real is cause like, I was living in PA and shit in Allentown PA. So the studios out there wasn't really up to par and shit, feel me? So every time that's why I started coming started really fucking with the music. I started coming to New York every week. I come to New York with me every single weekend and shit. But like, I started coming to the New York studios. That's when I was like, oh yeah. This sound, this sound fire. This the sound I've been, I've been looking for a family. Okay. And so, so you was coming here, you was recording out of the studios, then you ended up investing your own equipment. So that was all like research on your own, basically? Yeah, you know the bros always in tune and shit, you're not from the hell and shit. So the bros been doing, I always got bros that do music and shit, you feel me? So the bros always been in tune and shit with the studios and shit. So I just fell right in there. Okay. And your rap name, how'd you come up with that? That's what people been calling you or what? I mean J-Star? Yeah. J-Star? Nah, I mean J-Star came from, I used to get light and shit. I used to dance and shit. Okay. Everybody used to be J-Star, J-Star, J-9. So I just ran, I just ran with that. I think everybody from New York was dancing at one point in time. Yeah, I just stuck to that. I just stuck to that. And then like, you feel me? You know, gang like. And Bulla came later? Yeah, Bulla came later. Okay. And so what's your relationship with Dee Dee and Naughty? Those are my little brothers. So like blood like our family? Yeah. We got the same mother. Okay. All right. And like, so you wanted them to start rapping or how did that start? It's crazy because they ain't really like, Dee Dee ain't really, Dee Dee ain't really, really never really wanted to take it on some crazy, crazy serious shit. It was really like Naughty on some Naughty always following me around trying to try to beg my mom, go to PA, shit like that. Y'all want to go over there? I want to go record with J-Star. I want to record with J-Star. He's pull up and shit. You feel me? He's record him and shit. You feel me? Like, and I said, Dee Dee was like, oh, nah, hold on this shit. That shit sound fire. Like hold on. I said, Dee Dee hopped on and shit. He's just cooking up and shit, you know, cooking up. I was molding on to be there. You know, greatness. Okay. So you, they was recording their first songs with you? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool. So you're still like adding your input or are you being more supported? Like how is that now? Yeah, I'm there for everything. I'm there for all the studio sessions, everything. Everything I go on with Dee Dee, I'm there. You feel me? And get into music. Was you worried about them getting into music? Being like, you know how new work is. But I don't think it was that bad around that time though. It wasn't as crazy as it is now. I mean, when they, when I heard Naughty start to start really taking this shit on some, he really wanted to do this shit. I'm like, oh man, you know, I had to, you know, I had to big bro sit down. You know, bro, you know, this is serious, bro. Like, Okay. So you had that talk already? Absolutely. Like, it's my little brother. So, you know, I had to sit down. You know, this shit is just serious, bro. You know, the streets ain't nothing to play with her. Like, you know, he told me he understood everything. I'm like, yo, bro, you're not the end of the day. You only growing up. You're not going to get no smaller. I gotta, I can't be that, I never wanted to be that annoying big brother. You feel me? Yeah. They don't even want to chop it up on me. Yeah. But she was there every step of the way though. So that was always good. So what happened when you, I guess, got the news or when did you hear about it or? I was in PA. And I was on over at corn. I guess, I guess my son corn was with him couple, couple, like couple hours before. My son corn called me a little star. I think something happened. Something happened to Nadia and shit. So, you know, I think a shout out shout out my son corn for you. For you to remember like my son a goofball. Like, so I was like, yo, bro, stop playing me, bro. I'll break you up. I'll stop playing. Yeah. He like, nah, bro, gangsta, bro. He I had in his voice though. He like, he tearing up and shit. So I'm like, yo, bro, like you playing me right now. Like, you know, start out. He banging on me. Call him back. He not answering. I'll call my moms and stuff. Yo, make sure I make sure everything's situated. There's some shit just now, bro. Like, I'm not out there for me. I can't get out there. You feel me? Like, I don't want to live in PA. Like, I'm an hour and 30 minutes away. So I rushed out here right away. And then, um, so do you feel like, do you want to move to New York being that you could be closer to your family? Or do you feel like you being. I'm currently in New York. Okay. But I'm saying like, but that was like more of a reason making you want to come back, right? Absolutely. Do you feel like you also want to keep a situation out there just for them to get away sometimes? Like what do you think? Of course. So you'll be coming back and forth for sure. Yeah. So are you signed though? No, I'm not signed. Okay. Cause y'all are celebrating. Like you had got signed too. So I was like, what's going on? I ain't get signed. I ain't get signed. But it's still a good thing. I know everybody probably acts. I ain't get signed. I ain't get signed. My son did he got signed. All right. Cool. But it's still a good feeling. That's a fact. I'm right there. We step out of the way. Yeah. They're definitely watching. So, um, so how was it? I guess I know labels probably been calling y'all been reaching out. Yeah, they've been, they've been on it for real. Like it just felt a little more secure. Little felt a little more safe, little more secure with Alamo. That's cool. So are you looking at that label? Are you open to whatever? Do you want to sign a deal? Um, right now I'm just chilling for real. Like, um, whatever comes my way. If it's, if it's for me, if it's life changing for me, if I feel like it's for the better, I'll fuck around. I ain't, but I'm just chilling. Like this guy was just chilling because y'all traveling. Y'all doing shit. Yeah. I was just working like we just working this old before this or everything I'm doing now is before the deal. Like, so I ain't really dwelling on the deal. Like, you feel me? Yeah. I should come. I should come. That's pain. You feel me? If not, I shame on nothing. I'm just chilling. Like, you know? Okay. Yeah. But you also, did you drop into? Absolutely. I just dropped God. Yeah. You know the vibes? Yes. You got a little Jersey club vibe on there. Yeah. So like, you fucking with the whole jazzy sound right now? Yeah. I ain't going to lie. I should fire. I'm jacking out. I'm jacking the little switch up in shape. I'm switching it up though. Like they just straight on Jersey time. So you've been hearing that sound because you was in Philly, right? Um, yeah. PA. Yeah. Yeah. When I met PA, we just got out. He's like a own little world out there. Okay. But you probably was hearing it a little bit maybe. Yeah. Yeah. It started spreading down here. Yeah. I ain't going to lie. Yeah. So, um, so like I said, y'all be traveling and stuff. So how was it like linking with Drake and y'all play ball and stuff? Oh man. What happened? First of all, how did the call happen? How did y'all know Drake hit y'all? Cause Drake in tune with all the New York people. So, um, shout out to my son, Brooklyn Johnny. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Um, DD was supposed to go to Miami. We, we, we had already, DD was already supposed to go to Miami. And, um, me and DDOT was like, Oh, fuck it. We're going to tie. We're going to pull up and shit. And, um, my bro, Roy Young, he, um, he DDOT, he like, you know, he like kind of like my manager, um, DDOT manager and shit. For me, so like, um, he really, really made the link. Cause Brooklyn Johnny, Brooklyn Johnny linked us do, do, do raw and shit. And niggas linked up out there and made a movie. I ain't going to lie. Like, and then when, um, Drake, I think it was like his album release party or some shit like that. Um, niggas just say yo, so DD now to pull up. So we pulled up to the spot. I said, embrace this with mad love and shit. Yeah. Like what happened? Like we work in a spot. Yeah. Like how did they welcome y'all? Like what was it? I forgot what spot it was, but we in Miami. So they start walking us in the shit. Brooklyn Johnny come to the door. I think it was, um, Charles who walked to the door. He came to get us. We went to the back. We see 21 Saturday. The first, the first person I saw was 21. I'm like, nah, what the fuck? It's like a 21. I'm just like, it's right here. Like, I'm like, all right. Say no more. It's letting it. So y'all didn't know Drake was there. Y'all just going there. Nah, we knew Drake was dead. We just Drake was nowhere in sight. We a full blown party. You see party next door. Okay. Everybody's dead. We led. We see all the, all the OVO niggas and shit. You see, and Drizzy just came out and shit. He pulled up. Man, um, you know, he gave Didi a hug and shit. He gave me a hug. He gave me a doc and shit. And then he was like, yo, y'all need anything and shit. It was great. I was like shot the Drake. Like, huh? Yeah. And the next day niggas played ball with him and shit. Niggas opened up Miami heat stadium. Stadium? Yeah. I saw y'all. Like I think the Miami heats was out of state and some funny shit. Like they opened the stadium for us. I felt like I wasn't playing the 2k. No lie. I was into the back and shit. And my career, my career coming out the toll bus. That shit was fire. I ain't gonna lie. I shot the Drake word. Okay. All right. So, um, any other like sluggies was hitting y'all and stuff? I know after that probably got crazy. Um, to be honest, um, Didi will be, I mean, like. I mean, hitting you. No, no, no. Yeah. I mean, like to be honest, I'm in soon. Well, a lot of you feel me like everybody for real. But as far as like you mean like specific select celebrity celebrities. No, nobody was just people commenting and sharing our music tapping in like playing our shit. A lot of producers don't start tapping in a lot of like people we met in Miami start tapping in for sure. Yeah. Okay. So, um, so how does your family feel about like you doing music? I mean, for my mom's a little overwhelming and shit. Yeah. Cause we just lost a brother and shit, but she, she learned out. She like, she accepted it. Okay. I'm just trying to make something positive. I saw negative. Okay. I saw a tragic. So what like motivates you to like keep going and keep doing it and stick through? I ain't gonna lie. My little brother really wanted to make it with this shit. Like that was his biggest shit. You feel me? You're always like, always to talk about just making it like I was going to go up. So that, so that should happen. But I'm mentally though, you feel like you okay? I mean, it's not even happening. Also, like we lost E dot this year too. That was crazy. That was crazy. So, um, I know we had a show that day. I guess when the news had happened and I see everybody leave. So like when did, I guess, how was you feeling about that whole situation? I mean, he was at the show using using Jersey. I think I think it was in Clifton, in Jersey. He's at the show and after the show, niggas found out. I was stuck. Like, I felt, I felt numb to it. I felt a little numb to this shit. Like, damn, like four months ago, like, I'm just lost now to you four months ago. I felt like, damn, like, like, eat out really the, eat out really the soul to this shit for like my son really started all this shit for, you feel me? So it was like, I should really hurt like. Yeah, that's, that's the fact. Do you feel like people wait like too late to like start being supportive? That shit happens all the time. Like, I should, that's the way life is for real. Like, that's how I feel about that. Like, but yeah, like in a way, how are you? So do you feel like it's like pressure on y'all to be like strong and like keep pushing through? Cause fans be saying stuff and blogs be posting shit and you got a shot of still filming. Like y'all still in the grieving process basically. Like, do you feel like it's a lot of pressure on y'all to like stay strong and keep pushing? Every single day. This shit a little, this shit a little crazy. It is a lot of pressure. I feel like everybody always, everybody always expecting us to win, win, win. But niggas will be going through shit. Like niggas will be real life shit going on. Like, apart from this music shit for me. We just got to deal with that shit though. That's how I feel about that shit. But on the music tip though, you traveling and stuff like that. I guess who would you say like influence your sound because you don't really sound like them. You got like, you could, you could switch your vibes up. I see you do the drill shit and I heard the little Jersey club shit. So like, who influenced your sound? To be honest, I really don't, I got really like, I don't want y'all to think I'm lying. I really can't name nobody at the top of my head I influence how I sound for real. Like, you feel me? I could definitely name some of my local, some of my local favorite like rappers and shit. Like, I definitely fuck my son Shawnee for real. Shawnee? Shawnee Shawnee. I fuck with... You feel like growing up, who you was listening to? Like, who was, who was they playing? Like, who's, who's on your playlist back in the day? Who's on your playlist now? To be honest, I was listening to Jadakiss. I ain't gonna lie. Okay. I was listening to like 50 cent and shit like that. Okay. You know what I mean? Lil Wayne and shit, Lil Wayne is a problem. Like, I ain't gonna lie. Certain songs you blow my mind, but I ain't gonna lie. My son go crazy. Nah, Lil Wayne's a goat. So do you, do you like try to focus on lyrics more? Do you want to tell a story in your music? Like, what, what, what would be your goal? Like with certain songs, I guess? Because Godday, you telling the story, but you still get to the little party vibe and then some songs... It just comes on the beat. Like, because Godday was like a smooth laid back vibe. Yeah. But when that shit with my son, shout out Lil Na too. Like, Lil Na, that's my producer. He goes crazy. Like, when he turned that switch on that shit, like, he know how to activate me, you know? Cap, like, no freaking, like, my son go play, feel me? It was a calm vibe, but once he turned that jersey, like, nah, hold on, we gotta get crazy, like. So I was like, I gotta turn up. Okay. All right. And what's the vibe? Like, what'd be the vibes in the studio? Like, what could you do a studio session with J-Star? Um, I ain't gonna lie, we be sticking. Define sticking, like, what that mean for the people that don't know? Sticking is whatever you wanted to be. Come on, come on. I'll do that. Like, I'll describe sticking. Like, right now, this Migos got me sticking right now. So it got you active, turned up, like... And, like, the person acting crazy, I ain't gonna lie, you're sticking right now, bro. That's what I'm gonna say, Bucking. So it could mean different things. Yeah, it could really mean whatever. Me and the members, feel me? Me and the members, it could mean whatever you want for real, like. And it's really one of those, if you know, you know. Yeah. Like, don't you think? Okay. Okay. All right, so y'all definitely be, like, really having your own movement for real, I feel like. The shows be crazy. Movie. The shows be crazy. Have you had any, like, crazy fan interaction yet? Holy shit. Tell us a story, tell us a story. So, I think it was Connecticut. We went to CT. And we go to the back stage and shit. After the show, we just, oh, we all sweaty, we all drenched up. And we keep hearing somebody out. We keep hearing people out the window. It's like a mosh pit out one of the side windows. So, it's mad hot. So I just peeked my head out, not knowing that it's a thousand fans outside. And I just peeked my head out to catch some air. And there's literally a mom, like somebody's mother. With a whole tray of pizza. Of L.E.O.'s, it looked like L.E.O.'s pizza. Mad pizza. You're like, J-Star, I want to give you this. I'm like, what? Niggas is, I'm like, yo, niggas is hungry? They're like, fact. I literally, I know, I literally, no, we was like on the third floor. I literally told my security to bring her upstairs. She came upstairs. And she was like, I ain't gonna lie, she was crazy. Okay. So it'd be like, cause I know that's probably crazy, cause it'd be moms, it'd be kids, it'd be little kids, it'd be grown kids. Yeah, so how are you dealing with all of that now? Cause I know you can't go to certain, but you gotta wear ski mask up everywhere now. I mean, I should be, I ain't gonna lie, I should fire. It's fire until it get a little overwhelming for me. A little overwhelming for me a little, like, like, I hold on to shit a little crazy. All right, boom. So how can you tell when somebody is like really being supportive of y'all or people just looking for clout? I can't really, oh, I know everybody who's around me. Like, I know literally everybody who's around me. You can't come around me if I don't know you or if one of my man's man's don't know you, can't even come around. If you're looking for clout, you could probably come to a little function on some once in a while shit if that's the agenda. But I'ma know, like my niggas, my niggas is already sanctioned. Like, I know who my niggas is already, so everything's already, everything. I know who's genuine, I know who's not. Okay. And like, how did you, I guess how, if someone is like doing too much, how do you like decide for like when they doing too much? Like, when is the time for a nigga to lead a circle? Basically. I'ma tell a nigga. I'ma tell a nigga. I'ma definitely warn a nigga. Cause I always believe in second chances, you feel me? Okay. I never really got a lot of second, a lot of chances for me. So I believe in you, you feel me? I ain't gonna tell your bro, I ain't gonna lie to you. I don't like the way this is going on. And if I feel like you playing with me, like not even on some trying to be tough shit, you feel me? I feel like you're playing on some, we had this talk, bro. Yeah. And you feel like we, after the talk, you, after that, you gotta be playing with me. Right. So you gots to get caught off. Okay. Okay. Definitely. So like, so how do you feel about like blogs right now? Yo, please don't lack, suck my dick. Okay. Okay. Where to my dad when I catch him and break your fucking neck? Yeah, I don't know who that is. But like, but like overall though, do you feel like, like... Everybody else I'm jacking. Okay. What makes you say that though? Like they just... They just be captured, like they just be trying to post the most, like the most, like, I don't know. Every other blog page be posting positive shit. You're posting bad shit too. But it seems like please don't like this. Be trying to really catch the motherfucking lack and like, for whatever motherfuckers posting my moms. These motherfuckers just crazy, bro. Like, because it's wild. And that's only crazy. I was, I was saying that more so on the sense that like, you know, like everybody's like, everybody just trying to drop diss tracks now. So like, you know, like people will post that and post y'all like, or do you feel like that's kind of a job or what do you think? I don't really pay attention to the blogs like that. Okay. That's good though. That keep your mind at peace. Shit, fuck it. You don't want to see that, you don't want to see that. I'll barely be on a grand for real. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. So like, even fans too, because y'all be all on Tik Tok. Like, after the show though, after the shows, y'all be turning on Tik Tok for like five days. No cap. But I don't even, it's crazy. I don't know how I got 40,000 followers on Tik Tok. I never used it. Like, I don't even use it. You never posted a video? Nah, I did. I do be posting, but I literally just post like, like my, like I post my music videos. Like, you feel me? Like the little snippets on my music videos. I don't ever post like me actually doing shit. Yeah. And my shit like 40K. I don't. Cause y'all be trending on Tik Tok after the show. Tik Tok will be like, I went to DDNM show. And it'll be all y'all. It'll be all y'all. That shit been cool. So people in New York tend to always argue about, oh, who's the king of New York and who got it in New York? What do you have to say? How do you feel about that whole conversation? Sure, man. Whoever want to hold that crown, man. I think it's going to have to earn that shit, man. Okay. That crown, that's a different type of crown right there, right? King of New York is crazy. Okay. So you feel like we don't have one? Or they just not working for it? Or what do you think? I don't feel like we got a king of New York right now. And like, because people ain't doing enough or because there's so much artist here, you can't really pick on, like what do you think? The second thing you said is way too much talent. How you going to be able to save one person in King of New York and the next person probably got some shit that's way better. That don't make no sense. Right. So yeah, it doesn't really have one of those. Yeah, I feel you on that. So I guess, so what keeps you grinding? Are we going to project this year? Like what's going on? Yeah, ain't going to lie. Hell yeah. Got definitely game. Got definitely game with project. Project? Got a title? Nah, I only got a title. I was trying to name a title. I was trying to call it a title last minute. Nah, I don't got a title for you. But before the year ends, maybe next year, top of next year, like how you feeling? Nah, I ain't going to lie. The year about to end in a few, in a few, the year about to end in a few days. So I can't promise. A month and some change. Definitely, a month and some change too much for now. Definitely, I definitely expect a little EP. Okay. A little non song EP, something like that. Okay. And doing collabs lately. You got any sneaky features in the cut? Like what's going on?

Sold out shows. So the first... So you performed at the first show with Edad, right? When I was in Brooklyn? I performed at every show. Every show, right?

Y'all booked and busy? Keep moving. Y'all keep grinding. They ain't still working on music too. Do you think you want to start a label? You think you want to sign more kids? Because the youth is working with y'all right now. Yeah, I'm definitely... I really... I'm going to start working on my artist. Okay. I got a couple artist. Oh, you do got artist already? Yeah.

You know, got a lot of artist that's tough. You feel me? Mm-hmm. You know? The world. The world got to see them. Got to see what they talk about. All right. So do you like... So I guess when it comes to business, who's I guess like a good business person to you that you, I guess, look up to? Who does good business you think? I ain't going to lie with Mama Love. Mama Love is always business-orientated. Mm-hmm. She's always into business. Always have own businesses. Yeah. Open the salons and she's like that. Do a lot of shit. And my step-ups too, my step-ups, for me my step-ups go with business until you go with numbers and shit. You feel me? How he like to say? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. My parents for real. Okay. And then do you feel like you're going to prioritize music more or you want to get more into the business side of the music industry? What do you think? Because it seemed like you do a little bit of both. Yeah. That's literally exactly what it is. I'm just like whatever's the task at hand. Okay. That's how I feel about it. Okay. Feel a lot of business that contours my way. You know business contours your way, you got to handle it. Right. You feel me? But for the most part, I'll just be on my music. I'll definitely be on my music shit, you feel me? Okay. I'll be in a stew with the bros cooking up. You feel me? Okay. So if you didn't do music, what do you think you would have did? I would have definitely started my own label. Okay. I'm going to start my own label though. For sure? Yeah. That's a fact. Like 100%. You feel me? In time with, in time do. In time do? Okay. And then like, I guess what, like how do you know, I guess when a person is a star? Because I got a different type of ear. What's it? Because you saw your brothers with stars from when they first started. I got a different type of ear. Is it, is it, is it, is it ear? And you got a certain, you got a certain distinctive, like personality, persona. Okay. Because like, you got to have a certain charisma. You got to have to be a star. There's a certain, there's a certain hunger. You got to have to be a star. Okay. You could be an R. You could be a rapper. Everybody could just be a rapper. You could just wake up and be a rapper. Yeah. To be a star. That shit get, you know, you got to have a certain type of eye. Like I think it's a star right there. Okay. Like when I knew Naughty and Diddy was stars. Like, you feel me? When they just, there's a certain thing about people, you know, like I know my niggas, I know certain of my niggas are stars. I knew Eat Up. When Eat Up, Ben knew Eat Up. I knew when Eat Up, Rest in Peace. I knew he was a star. Like, you feel me? Move. Shout. Free move. You feel me? Free my son, King. Free my son, Corn. I knew King was a star. So really just certain aura, certain energy. Just certain stuff. How are you? Yeah. And then like, all of y'all, I guess from the hill got like lit. Probably like kind of not at the same time, but because Eat Up was in it and King. So like, it seemed like Sugar Hill got a lot of artists that stars. So like, so like, um, I guess do y'all be like helping each other? Like, how do you feel like the support system is out there? We really, we're really a family for writing on a lot. I should really, the hill, the hill, the hill really feel like, I should really family vibes. I should really feel like, heavy on, heavy on that help. One hand, watch the other vibes. You feel me? Like we in the studio and I just booked three hours. And I know bro, I know bro been beasting to record that song that he wrote. And he telling everybody on the block. And I got, I just booked three hours. I'm going to try to finish my song in two hours. So you could try to squeeze that, that little song in the, in the extra hour. You feel me? Yeah. You'd be surprised a lot of hits been made like that. Yeah. I mean, like. Okay. So you got an example. Give us a story of one. I ain't gonna lie. Like I give you example gangsta. We in Pennsylvania. Uh huh. We in still city studios. And my son, I mean, I had just recorded a song called what's the vibes? You feel me? And my, my, my producer was making a beat. So Keem, Keem sleeping. He slumped out. He all the way in PA. He wake up. He like, oh, stop the fuck where I'm at, bro. I say, oh, bro, we over in the stool, bro. What the fuck you talk about, bro? You know, we was coming to PA, bro. He like, oh, shit. How much time we got left? I like, oh, we got like 20 minutes left. So he like, yo, bro, I could cook up real quick. He literally just woke up. I think it just woke up snoring, drooling on. I'm like, yo, bro, I say, bro, we got 20 minutes left. What you about to do with 20 minutes? He like, oh, bro, watch this, bro, please. Okay. So a producer. He like, yo, nah, bro. I want to, you know, you know, producer, he already knew he had already heard from about Keem. So he wanted to do a beat for Keem. So I'm like, yo, bro, we got 20 minutes left. 20 minutes left. He like, yo, bro, I could make a beat. Yo, think of something that's mad New Yorkish, that the first thing company that has New York when you hear it. So nigga said the ice cream, nigga said the ice cream truck. Oh, wow. So I'm like, what the fuck do you mean the ice cream truck? Nigga cooked the beat up in 10 minutes. This nigga Keem recorded that song in 10 minutes. 10 minutes. Okay. He recorded that ice cream, that ice cream song that went viral. Yeah, that's still viral. That's still viral right now. That boy recorded that song in 10 minutes. You know, he put the words together. 10 minutes though. You feel me? But that's another example of one hand watched the other. Like it was on some, you know, I could have packed it. You feel me? Or he could have just been like, yo, start we out. Or we would have got that song later down the line. Y'all would have probably got that song never for real. Because it was just like, it was, it was an in the moment thing. Like the way it played out was like some crazy. Yeah. Because the producer was there at that time. The producer was there at the moment. It was on some like, y'all should was fire. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah. And then DD, no, DDOT made the dance. Yeah. DDOT made the little dance. So he made the dance on purpose? Or like what, like what happened? To be honest, I felt like. Because it's a TikTok. DDOT be sticking. So I feel like he really just made that. He really was just. Dancing, geeking. Dancing. Nigga just made the dance. That shit went viral. That shit went crazy on TikTok. Yeah, that definitely, that definitely went crazy on TikTok. Yeah. Celebrities doing that shit. No, yeah. Real. That shit tough. So like, and then they couldn't now, like, I guess Cardi was, I guess stealing the dance. What do you think? What do you think she was showing love? I don't know. What do you think? I don't really know how to talk. I mean, to be honest, she, she definitely didn't make the dance up. No, she wasn't saying she made it up. She did the dance and she was like, this the little dance y'all be doing. Some shit she's done on Instagram. Yeah. She gave it that little extra push anyways. But that's shout out to you, Cardi. You gave the hell a little more. I ain't. Yeah. That was that little extra push. But I don't really care about if she said this or that. Nigga's know the real. Like, if you know, you know, like, the, the. Nah, fans was going crazy. Blogs going crazy. Everybody was like, yo, she's doing keen dance. Like, they know. Right. They knew. Like, everybody know for real. Like this, you do this. Yeah. You know, that's the move. Look, you know. Yeah. So how have you, I'm soaking the keen lately. How? Yeah. I talk to both the twins. You hear me? Mm-hmm. They be home soon though. Okay. That's good to know. That's good to know. So how do you feel about like, I guess people dissing off a clout? Yo, it's so crazy at this point. I don't even like, there's so many people we don't know. It's like more sleep. Everybody we don't know. Like, it's don't know these people. Okay. So it's not like, it's one, it's a difference. If the people's dissing, it's people that we get, like people that niggas know, niggas don't know these people. Mm-hmm. Like, I don't really want to, I don't really be trying to name Joppa niggas, give niggas clout and shit. You feel me, bro? Yeah. Niggas who made that niggas know, niggas who made that dance, like niggas don't even know them niggas for real. At all. Niggas just fan thought what happened. So what happened? Like, you can start. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Niggas woke up one day. Niggas woke up one day. Niggas got a song. A moment. Like, just mimicking how my brother died. That shit is crazy. I feel like niggas ain't have static, niggas ain't have static with child niggas. Y'all definitely ain't do it. So it's like, that was weird. But niggas be fed, that was for real. Like, and remember I feel like niggas just try to hold on to something. Soon as niggas start dying out, niggas try to hold on to something for dead life. And I feel like that's what they did for real. Yeah. And I feel like, you know, you being older and they being younger, I feel like, you know, you got to like, I guess, not, you got to try to stay out of that stuff. But in the same token, it's like they're still being disrespectful. You know what I mean? Because like y'all got to stay out of jail and keep working and shit like that. Niggas could go do some shit and should have go left. So I guess how do you, I guess stay strong and stuff like that because people was making jokes about it and shit. So like, I ain't going to lie. That goes, that goes to what I said. Like, I, we don't know these people. So it's not like, we can't retaliate. You can't sit there and pull up to a nigga. Yo, you took crazy off. I'm pulling up to your crib. Come downstairs. It's like, you can, but it's like, You don't know them. You don't know them. So it's like, what the fuck? Like, I just, I've learned to, I've learned to, I've learned the beauty of ignorance. Okay. Lately. Okay. I've lasted that. And that's been keeping you at peace for show. Yeah, definitely. Okay. That's good. That's good. And then even still, like when every time Diddy dropped, he goes like trending on YouTube. Like every time. I know the song with that y'all did went trending too, no? Yeah. Brother on the real brotherly love. Yeah. Yeah. I ain't gonna lie. Baby boy, you're a star. He going crazy right now. So it's trending for real. Yeah. So that's, so that's good. How was that feeling finding out you was trending? How'd you know? Yo, how'd you find out that people told you? You just looked it up. Yeah. Like, it's so crazy. My man's, my man's like your star. He called me like your star. You trending number 17 on YouTube right now. I'm like, nah, never. He like, yeah, go look, bro. I'm like, nah, what the fuck? At that point, I'm like, what do you mean? Like on YouTube, like for the whole YouTube? Yeah. On just like. On number 17 on YouTube. He like, yeah, nigga, what else doesn't mean? Like I'm like, oh shit, this shit is real. Okay. And then when I seen it hit numbers, I think it was like number six. What's your accomplishment? Do you guys have any other big accomplishments this year? So far. To be honest, my, my, my engagement on my YouTube is going crazy. Crazy. On my own YouTube. Like my shit is like, everything's going up. My Instagram going up, everything going up. Yeah.
