 It's time to do it, you ain't gonna see for sure. I was gonna say, so how do you stay motivated to drop music? How do you stay motivated in the studio? You feel like you're never gonna run out of music or you just don't know? You can run out of words, if you can't run out of words, you can't run out of music. A new episode of Talk of the Town. Today we got a special guest, 2-6, Mr. Drinch. He made me sit on this side today. So last time we sat down was probably like a year from now. The first interview was when you first came home before, probably like a year ago. So how's life changed from then to now? I'm saying you can see how life changed. See how I'm coming, how I was coming before, how I'm coming now, it's long, I'm big, it's long. Yeah, so like how you been adjusting to the new fame now? I know stuff is different now, people know you fans, stop it. I'm the same person, I ain't never gonna change, but if I change how they gonna love me, they love who I was, right? You're definitely the same, I see you with the same people, I see you, keep your fame ties close. So what's something you had to get used to with all the new fame? Something I had to get used to, probably like random people stop me and shit like that. That's something I had to get used to, cause I ain't used to that. When a random person stop me, I think I hear Abbasong. So like, so is it more like God stop me, or is it girl stop me? Or is it just me, a little bit of everybody, kids? I'm saying, the girls don't really, the girls be shy, so they don't really stop me, they just, I just hear them saying. But the guys they gonna stay be shy, and they be like, oh shit, they be stopping me. I mean I'm just being honest. Abbasong, you think you threw game stuff at a girl? Nah. Nah. I don't know what it is. I don't know. Okay, so you say in a lot of interviews, you been in and out of jail since young. So when you was on your prom, I feel like you had got locked up again. So like, what was that like, did you know you was gonna come right back out cause you was used to it? What just now, when I got locked up? Yeah. Nah, that was crazy. It felt like back in the days all over, yeah. You know, I wasn't treated like, I was treated like a regular person in there, like, you know what I mean? I mean, there wasn't acknowledging your artistry. And I ain't gonna lie, they're all in crazy right now. So we was again out of bed minimums, none of that. So it was crazy just now. I was just on, I was back on bullshit, back on gangster time. So, but you quickly changed up when you came home, got back into the music, back in the studio. Right back. How often is you in the studio? Shit, we always in the studio, whenever, whenever I get bored, I'm in there. I was gonna say, like, you drop in every week, visuals, every week. And how do you feel about that? Like, you feel like that's your way of being consistent or you drop music because you just enjoy music? Like, why you drop every week? I'm saying, it's just, yeah, I just enjoy doing that. I don't know. Like, even when they be telling me chill, my team be telling me chill, but I just be like, fucking nah, we going crazy. As I said, do you think your fans are keeping up with all the drops? I'm saying, yeah, I don't know what they be doing. They always asking for more. I mean, you throw up a little snippet here and there. So, yeah, but they don't even be knowing you just dropped a week ago. That's a fact. They don't even know the words, they just want more. Yeah, I like that music. Like, if you a fan of me, you got to know my new shit. But you dropped so much shit. So, like, how do you know when someone's truly a fan? Just now, how she was just turning up on the stage. That's how I know. She know all the lyrics and she like that. She dancing. That's how I know. So, like, if they don't know you last week, but they know the week before they valid? Yeah, they bad. I get on a pass. I get on a pass. Yeah, they go. Okay, okay, okay. So, I remember you made a post. It was like how you see people dropping every week now. You feel like you started that? The drop in every week type thing? I'm saying, I don't know. I started a lot. I don't know what I really started. But for sure, I'll be saying the truth. For sure. I'll be saying them probably, but... They gon' see. You heard? They gon' see for sure. So, how do you stay, like, motivated to drop music? Like, how do you stay motivated in the studio? You feel like you're never gonna run out of music, or you just don't know? You can run out of words. If you can't run out of words, you can't run out of music. That's how I feel. So, you feel like you're gonna be on that mission every week? Mm-hmm. Are you ever gonna slow up, or are you just trying to improve a point right now? Nah, I'ma slow up. I'ma tell you when I get what I wanna be when I feel like I'm at what I wanna be where but I'ma always drop music. That's it. Yeah, I mean, as you should, always drop music. So, like, when you did the AZ freestyle for Shooters Only, your freestyle was called King of Drill. You feel like you're the King of Drill right now? Shit. Yeah, that's a fact. That's why I named it that way. Big facts. They just locked me up for a drill that I don't know nothing about, you heard? That's why I came home. I'm saying, though, they still locking me up for a drill. Fuck it. I'ma as well, Jackie. I'ma as well, Jackie. They locking me up for it. I'm going down for it. Okay, okay, I get that. But it could be that because you be talking hot in your music, though. Nah, that's not why they locked me up. I know what they locked me up for. For a drill. Got it, okay, I got it. That I don't know nothing about. So, the King of Drill, what do you feel like it takes? What are some qualities you feel like of a king? Of a king? Like, everybody's trying to jacket a king of this. A king? Is it stand-up dude if I take care of everybody around me? A king? Make sure, you know what I mean? I ain't think situated. And as me, I got some qualities, bro. I'ma stand-up dude. A lot of these niggas ain't no stand-up dudes. That's a good answer. So, wet dropping every week. I'm sure you got a good relationship with your producers. Mm-hmm. Do you have a favorite producer? A favorite producer at this point. No, you wicked a lot of people. I don't know, I don't get no money for that. Yeah, I fuck with my peoples. I fuck with Eli. Eli, what the fuck? Amru.

So, you been going crazy with the samples in your comments, your fans are saying like you stamping the samples with the drill right now. That's what they saying, I ain't even see that. Yeah. That's what they saying, so what you think? If they saying that, that's what's going on. Shout out to them. Do you read your comments a lot or not? Sometimes, I read them, yeah. When I'm bored. Is that a good or bad thing you think? What? Some artists get bad comments, some artists get good comments. What you think? As long as they commenting. They there, you heard, they there for a reason. You comment bad every time you're still there though. Shout out to you. Okay, okay, okay. So, you hit the Made in America. Mm-hmm. I want to stay, I don't know what that's called.

One of my idols got me in there. Jay-Z Ho, yeah. Jay-Z pose you in there? Cause I ain't really seen no New York artist in there. Is Jay-Z curated? Who else gonna put me in there? I don't, whoever put me in there. Shout out to them. Is Jay-Z like on your bucket list to do a song with? Who won't want to do a song with him? So like right now Jay-Z went on I think the title thing again and he was like how nobody can match him in the verses. Yeah. What you think? Nobody. They can't sell that man. I mean they did too much. They ain't doing enough. Yeah. So you said you got a lot of realness in that. So do you feel like the beef is stopping the money in the long run when it comes to music? The beef? Yeah. Yeah. But that's the fact. It is stopping the money. Cause if it was less beef it would be probably more shows. Stuff like that. Yeah. So you think that hip hop police is real? Hip hop police is definitely real. When I got locked up, they came to me. They knew I was locked up. I don't know how they knew. They just came here like we hip hop police. I'm like what? That's definitely real. You a witness you can confirm that. A lot of fans think it's fake. Nah they real. They real they know when you locked up they know everything.

I ain't gonna lie, that's very unfortunate. It's very unfortunate that I got to get that because it was definitely a banger. It was about a million plus views? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was one of those ones. Honest way to being like right under Manuva. I think it was too hot. That's why they had to take it down? At this point, I wouldn't be able to tell you. I wouldn't be able to tell you, but I ain't gonna lie at this point. I don't know. As being an artist... Anything happen for a reason? I believe that.
