Okay, so what goes through growing up over there? What's it like, the whole Memphis? Because I'm from New York, so I don't know. What's it like for you? Growing up in New York? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Okay, so out there, well, when we was coming up, it was like Twitter was hot back then, so Twitter was lit out there for y'all, too, growing up. It was on Facebook days. Little bit of everything. If it wasn't on Twitter back then, we were gonna have to check cheeky pay right quick. Get off the job. Okay. All right, okay, okay. So what goes through how you got into music before? In all separate ways. So you go first. How you got into music? I just been around music. Music junkie. Just grew around me. I love this thing. Can't be known without it, I ain't gonna lie. Okay. All my cousins were doing music and shit, so I just started doing music, too. Okay. They were forgetting to rap about certain shit, though, so I ran back to shit. They ain't rapping. We all rapped about the same shit, because we were right here, we were rapping the same shit, so. So, like, out here for New York artists, they be like, it was like this track, some stuff like that. Was it like that up there for y'all, too? Was it like rapping about hustling and stuff like that? Yeah, they were this and too. This way, right back here, though. Same shit like everyone else. Okay. Rappin' about what we saw. If a nigga rap about some this shit, though, you're gonna, the outside, like, you wouldn't know. Right. So it was like a little subtle one. The people on, they gonna know. Oh, okay. But other rappers would be on this shit, like, I should, you would know it in, because they see it, like, the other folk who I'm really into it, they gonna know, but you ain't gonna know. Okay. So in makin' music, who was, I guess, some people you looked up to growin' up? Trey Bonsam, all the bags, the goddess, man, shit, all on. Jeezy. Jeezy. Goochie. Goochie. Okay. There's no way y'all are gonna keep havin' the same answers, bro. Yo, what's going on? What is she goin' on with? What's she goin' on with? Yo. So, Tripp, walk us through your first studio session. The first time we ever went to the studio, laid down the song. Cray, I did my first song. Skat, bro. Did it, bro. Elbow. Did it, bro. So, my elbow, my first song. Skat, jizz. I did it out of cheeky beat, jizz. Got a beat out of YouTube. I continued it. Didn't know what I was doin', I was screamin'. I thought I don't know. I thought there was any I was makin' out of. What I was doin'. Okay. And you dropped that song, shot a video on everything? No. Or you was just tryin' stuff out and then you dropped it? I had put it on the sound. Somebody had put it on the sound cloud. I just kept goin' through there. Okay. My first time goin' through there, my nigga made me go. Uh-huh. I was chillin' on the couch. Then my grandma, I was just coolin'. And then they had, we was all usually hangin' over there. They put it in the session. They usually all put it in the session, so I used to just get up with them later. Uh-huh. But that time they made me go and do a song. Okay. It was weak, though. It was weak. But I kept goin' after that, though. Okay. I ain't want the next one to be weak, so I could show them I could bump a song I had to. Okay. And then, um, so when do you feel like you started takin' it serious? Uh-huh. What do you think you started takin' it serious? I took it serious. Uh, probably doin' it out of, like, probably doin' it out of just playin' with it three, four years. Then I took it serious. Okay. Just, I was like, let me stop playin' with it. Okay. Yeah, I'm shit like that. Let me stop playin', just stop. I won't come on, I can't take it with it. Just, okay. Then you would see other men really gettin' signed, like, you be like, hell nah. Yeah, exactly. I really did. Niggas your age. The black, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm gettin' signed from my city. Yeah, they life changin', like, oh yeah, come on. Yeah, life's really changin'. Yeah. So some people, like, all you know when you're serious, when you start investin' into music, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So it was something like a few things y'all brought up. You know, was it like big to pay for promo back then? Cause like, you know, we know about that now. But did you know about that comin' up? Like paying for promotion? I really didn't know about that. Oh, so y'all learnin' as y'all goin' out? Yeah, I was learnin'. Okay, so we're doin' interviews and stuff now. I knew it was serious when you had to, I say, I'ma shoot a video. Boom, you had to pay the video, man, he's money. Whole time, I didn't know you had to, buy the shoes, outfit. Like, you shit goin' to school. Like, you got to really buy shit for the video, dnsteer, pay for the video. You know, you really spend money. Okay. So, fat, your project is out right now. Yeah. Oh, shit. Who is fat? Yeah, who is fat? So tell us who fat is. Who is fat, you got to listen to the project. I can tell you right now, but you really gotta go listen to the project. Okay. If a person didn't do it, I think he's going for it. Because bankroll is in body. God. Yeah. Yeah. Bankroll is in body. No, it won't get you. What do you feel like is your favorite song on the chart? Get your dope off nigga. What you waiting on? And why that's your favorite? Cause it's like when you play this and you get the, you get your hype, you get ready to show your mother off and shit. Go to the mirror at the house and what inspired you? What inspired this project? Do you feel like you had to let people know who you are? Yeah, yeah. I feel I had to stand my night. Okay. I feel I had to stand my night with the Marouchie. I had always been standing my night gambling and putting everybody in a hood. I feel I had to stand my night with the Marouchie to let people know how he really can rap. Mmhmm. Shit like that. Okay. And then What do you want them to think? Yeah, nigga, baby. I really want to be honest with you. When this shit all said and done, when my name popped up in the room, I really want folks to say that, you know, nigga, really take care of your folk. At the end of the day, you know, nigga, really take care of your family. They really want folks to say. I feel like a lot of the Memphis artists do be saying that, though. Y'all seem real big on family out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like we interviewed Big Homagee, too. He said the same thing. He said, Big G? Yeah. He don't play about hate folks. I know, that's what he was saying. She don't play about hate folks. That's what he was saying. You don't play a little boy for everybody. Momma, if your momma do it, don't play about hate folks. I don't want to be around you. For real, though. I don't want to be around your kids. I don't want to be around you for real, though. So somebody not on that, or not checking them with their family. Are y'all checking them? Like, yo, check on all you people? We want to know what the money she wants. Now, nigga, be happy, especially if you really get money, like, uh, like, uh. We really say, like, $30,000 to $50,000 a week. Like, if you really getting this type of money and you ain't checking on your folks, then we're really finna have a problem. Because why are you not checking on your folks if you getting $30,000 a week? Me, like, your kids, boy, they're like, you like. I'm like, yeah. So trip star, your project is not here yet. But is it done? Yeah. Shit, like. Son of a hustler. So I guess, is there something you learned from your father? Are y'all close? My annihilation, my mother. My mom was just hustling, like, shit, working at McDonald's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, whatever, like. Just a hustler, like, you know, give up, like, still going to school, graduated, just still, college, like, whatever, still. He really can't go back to that, man. I can't, he's live, man, he's live. It should've been to be so live. He really can't go back to his hood, I can't. So, um, so, when people hear your project, what do you want them to feel? What's the vibe you're giving? Are you trying to give it motivational? Are you trying to give, like, instilled? I'm showing the motivation to get some money, like. Are you going to make it to get some money? Get some money, man. You just don't never stop. I don't care, like, you don't never stop. OK. Just, like, keep it going. Yeah, just keep it going. So, on your project, you have Offset, NoCap, SourceWalker, right? Yeah. All right. Keezy. All right, so how do you go about picking features for the project? Both of y'all. How y'all go about picking features? You really need to make a relationship first, like, on some real shit. Before you even, before, like, we need to do, before they even come out, you really need to have awesome checking on this person every day. Make sure they call you, call them, like, bro, you good, bro, you good. Then, so what happens if y'all be in the go? Like, y'all locked in. Get some shit in here. OK. And so, locked in, so are you traveling more and meeting different people, or how's that? Because people come to Memphis, too, so. Y'all don't stay in Memphis. Little while with me, yeah, I'm not here. But I'll go. When you meet folks, you gonna meet them on the road, you ain't gonna meet them in here for a while. OK. OK. What do you know? Not in Memphis. Yeah, people say, like, Memphis is divided to some extent. How y'all feel? It's like that anyway. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's in the world. So you feel like that's a good or bad thing? It's good. It's good, huh? Yeah. Organize, like, it might not be all of Organize, but it keeps, it's staying online that way. That's what I hear, like, everybody make their money on their side, and, yeah. But if the whole city was on some, like, the whole way, Memphis, or Memphis, if they was on some real one-manish, like, it's, it's real, it'd be way more millionaires. Yeah, yeah. Do you think that's possible, or it's, like, too late, too much stuff been done? Never too late. Uh-huh, you're too late. OK. All right, so.

Man, hell no. Do you like shopping or you don't like shopping? Yeah, I love shopping. OK. I love shopping. Not every damn show, though. Every show, we're a hell no. We're going to stack this mud in there. Yeah. What the hell are we going to do on this side? We going to stack this mud in there. OK, so we're going to bag and we're going to, y'all Goddy, what's something that y'all learned in the process and growing in the music and anything? Well, I ain't going to just be in quite a distance. You go ahead. Stay in Goddy and Muddy Bay and just, they ain't never told me no wrong. Yeah. Everything they say will work. OK. Really, they change. I remember one time, everybody in there said, it's 200% whatever you do whole time. You know we think it's 100%. 100%, yeah. God is saying some shit like, it's 200% bro, with this shit. I'm like, what you mean? But he like, 100% leave the streets alone. They're 100% already gone. So I'm like, damn. He like, so now it's 100% left. 200%, 100%, leave the streets alone. Other 100%, have them to be in this. Other 50%, have them to be in other 50%. Make sure your family's great. Take care of your family. So what do you feel like it's some bad advice that you got? Well, it could be from the homies. It could be from somebody else. You know how when you're coming up, people be trying to give you advice and it don't be? With some bad advice. I've got a lot of times when boys, you can't tell me. I don't listen to how he says shit. I was on this. It's hard to move me. You got to really make sense to me. I mean, I got some bad advice though, a lot of time. Probably don't remember it, right? So what are some of the pros and cons of being in the spotlight now? Because now I got traveling. Make sure there's shit together. This shit is dangerous too, now. Yeah. It's shining, you know, we look good, this shit. There's some real robs out here. The true size of this shit, now. Some real robs out here. No, I'm sure. They got to play different. Yeah, that's the only point. So bag, of course, is in a high profile relationship. You were hurry. So how do you feel about that? Do you feel like on something like, do you feel like you would date another celebrity or you were like a low-key girl? How do you feel about relationships right now? Or you just focused on music? Yeah, I just focused on music. I focused on music. I think I had that. I don't know. If it happened, we know. If it happened, it happened. Not that you're looking for it, but like, you know. But I know if I make you mad by you being on the same level as me, you get on my ass on the internet, it's going to get off. Yeah, for sure. And now I'm going to want to beat your ass, like, career deal. Because you're going to go viral. So I might got to go with the low-key girl. OK. So a lot of artists, some artists are 50-50, because some artists don't like social media, don't like everybody in their business. And then some people say, oh, you got to be on TikTok. You got to make posts and all that. So how do y'all feel about social media as a whole? Social media is needed for all of this. It's needed, though. It's needed for all of this. I just do what I do. Probably got to be being on the location. Oh, let the internet get to me. Some people let the internet get to them. They see shit they want. They might go crazy, lose their mind. It's all about how you deal with the internet. It's a little bit of a melancholy. I'm trying to get a laugh at it, though. Yeah. So, how do you deal with the internet? So I'm trying to internet it, making it a mad head a little bit, though, like a little bit. Like what, like reading comments, or just reading blogs, or like just everything altogether? It's really Facebook, brother, blog, comment. They don't tell me nothing on the ground, because it'd be fake pages on the book. You just notice, you notice paid. From the rear of the ear, like Facebook, no filter. I'd be going to have to leak that whole. I'd be so mad on that whole. OK. Oh, my God. OK. And make it music. Of course, you know, everybody got their creative process. But what do you feel like are three key things in a good song? Three keys in a song? Three key good things. What are just three things every song must have, or three things one of your songs has over them? What you think, bro? What's the most important? Top three. Shit, they got to make sense, bro. Oh, my God. You only got to have, like, you got to make sure the word play right, like the delivery. Lyrically? You got to have delivery, right delivery. Yeah, you kind of, like, got to make sense. I can't even think of three key points. Some people think beats are more important than lyrics. Beats are more important than like this, like. Yeah, like, some people think beats are more important than lyrics. Some people think longest you got a good video, good, like, what you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it really just depends on. Yeah, it gives you love. Some little, some little beats, some little beats that ain't none, though, if you slam it on the junk, you can make it hard. Yeah, like, some people can make a beat sound good. It's a lot of power, little songs out here to beat ain't none. Yeah, make a beat sound good. We can make a beat sound like, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, so out of all the songs that's out right now, what song do you feel like has your best verse? Not a whole song, but a best verse. Something like, yeah, I did that. My A.B., really, it really be like the featureful, like. You look crazy on your feature. The featureful unknown man, know what I'm saying? From the unknown man. Like, if you do a song, like, I would do a song back. Damn, I coulda did, bro. But the unknown man, you gonna do that verse, man, slam that, that's how it be. Ham on that whole. You go like that, I don't know why. You feel like you be having, like, rightest block? Or do you feel like you nervous? Or is it pressure? Like, what is it? Love? Just, I don't know, bro. I don't know what it is. I don't know. I don't know what it is. It's just, you probably, I don't know what it is. I go hard on features, I ain't gonna lie to you. I think these slanted on features. I go hard on features, they're my stuff. They're my shit, they're for real, I'm God. So what is it? So you feel like you gotta keep your name up? Like, what's it? I don't know what it is, man. We getting the money too, but it's the money. So money motivates you, I'm for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess so. I think it's like, you do your own shit, you know you're gonna put it out, but when you get this feature, you know you finna hand you this $10,000, $15,000, you finna go hard for this one. You finna go hard for this one. So I guess it's the money transaction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He really wanna show it again, like why he bought this feature.
