Man, so, man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man. You know, just, you know, the flavor down here, man, the swangers and the pop trucks and all of the stuff, all the tattoos and swangers and, hey, man, y'all got a lot going on down here, man. Yeah, this is the city of the hustlers, man. You know what I'm saying? That's where we are. We getting money and staying out the way and trying to make it on this rap shit, man. You know what I'm saying? All ready. Let's get to it. Okay. Born and raised in Houston, Texas? Yup. Northside of Houston. Northside? Mm-hmm. Okay, because I don't hear a lot of traction coming from the north side. What? No. Nah, it's real. That's real. I mean, I feel like, you know, the last one that really was putting on, like, heavy, heavy was, you know, Boss Hog and them, they really took it to the next level. Slim dog all, mother. Yeah, and then we got Fast Lane, you know, and other than that, like, I feel like the south side got it on lock right now, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like the north side, definitely, like, I'm trying to... They're sleeping on y'all. Yeah, they sleeping on this big time, you know, but, you know, this is the year where we gonna put it in their face one time, you know? That's real. So when you're growing up, were you raised with your mom and dad? I was actually raised with my aunt and my uncle, you know, the one I brought right here in the studio. Okay. With me today. My uncle Tito, you know, I was raised with him, kind of like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air story. That's kind of how it was with me, you know? So I was raised with them since I was, like, two years old. So where was mom and dad? I mean, my dad was living with my aunt at the time, you know? He was just, you know, having kind of a hard time and we're staying with them and, you know, my mom had... So you knew your dad and y'all had a relationship? Yeah. Yeah, we have a relationship, you know? Me and my mom, we have a pretty good relationship now, but, you know, she had her own life. Back then it wasn't... Yeah, she had her life where her kid's going on, she had other kids, and I understood, you know? Were you the youngest? I was the oldest. The oldest? Okay. Okay. How did that make you feel, though? Because, you know, boys usually be like, you know, love their mom or want their mom, you know? I mean, I was just having a conversation with my girl about this yesterday. As a matter of fact, I just feel like the lack of not having, you know, the love I feel like I should have had really made me grow into the boss that I am today. So I honestly feel like sometimes, you know, if you have too much of everything in the pot, I really feel like it can disable you as you being a man to grow up and actually get things accomplished, you know? So I feel like the lack of having everything I didn't have really made me grow into the man that I was supposed to be and become and understand the hardships of life and going through it and learning how to deal with it and how to adjust to certain situations of not having my mom there, how I wanted her to be, you know? Right. So you still had your aunt there. Yeah, yeah. So you still had that female nurturing part, because everybody needs that, you know? I always say, when a single father raises a little girl or a little boy and the mother, no female is anywhere around, that child grows up not knowing their sensitive side. You know what I mean? That's true. Because women are the ones who are nurturing in the beginning showing boys and girls how to, you know, self-care, self-heal, self-love, all of that. Men are usually like, you got to get it. That hard side, that's where the man come in. So I always feel like there's a balance. That's true. That's why each individual needs to have that balance. That's very true. Maybe. Maybe not. His views are always different from mine. It could not be true to be honest with you. Sometimes you don't need that. Maybe we need to get a little stiffer. The problem is the world needs more machete's more than men. That means men need to step up and be men. Women, it's cool. You know, we appreciate y'all, but yeah, we're going to do this man thing for real. But I definitely know you do need your mother. Ain't nothing like a mother. But at the end of the day, if you don't have her, God has a way of feeling those gaps. No, for sure. I feel like that. Like I feel like, you know, back then I used to question God a lot. Like I feel like why'd he put me in the position he did. But as I'm getting older, I realize that God had a divine plan and timing for everything that he put me in the right situation I needed to be at. He put me through the hardships that I needed to be put through. He put me through a whole bunch of things just for me to have a story to tell. That's why I feel like right now I've got the organic following that I do and packing out concerts without having no radio support and stuff like that. I'm having five, six hundred people at my show. Every time I throw an album release, so, you know, so it's really just independent that really got me to the level that I'm at today and understanding that ain't nobody going to give it to me. You know, this is the cards I was dealt and I had to make it happen with the cards that I had in my hand, you know, so I complained about it. I had to make it happen. So did you always wanted the music as a kid growing up? Um, yeah. Honestly, I did. My grandma, she is, you know, used to sing with the mariachis, you know, Oh, and, you know, I come from a family of, you know, a lot of musicians, but they never did anything serious as in recorded music. And actually I'm the first in the family. I feel like really took it to that level on. But everybody sings my aunt. She's been on songs with me to live and die in the age with a ESG and J dog. And, you know, that song has over like six hundred, seven hundred thousand views. So, I mean, she was so happy when you asked her to be on that song. Oh, yeah, she was super happy. It was like, because I mean, she grew up like my idea back in the day. She had this, uh, Buick Le Sabre. It was like a old school Buick Le Sabre. She'll pick us up from school and, you know, everybody knew my idea. She was the cool, you know, so she was over there jamming ESG, you know, flipping through the neighborhood. I know the flavor good. Like just pulling up and everybody just she put me on the music and and my uncle Tito, you know, he honestly is like, you know, I feel like when I started rapping, I was showing some things and he was like my biggest critic and it really helped me because I feel nowadays. I'm like, I don't feel like I put anything out there as weak, you know, because I'll go back to a Tito check this out. He like, man, it sound like you freestyle, bro. Go back in there and do it again. You know, so he put me on the NWA, you know, street military and and ESG, you know, Swisher house, as you see, you know, he put me on a whole bunch of music and ghetto boys. And so I feel like I didn't even get a chance to even try to come on some weak stuff. If I was to try to even do this rap with having my uncle Tito put me on so much stuff like Devon, the dude and all kinds of good music that you put me on, you know, so salute to uncle Tito, man. So you you caught a lot of the older names. But like now in the city, not even in just this city, but now with the music industry. Tell me a young cat who you see doing their thing and you love their music. Man, to be real, I salute everybody doing it in the city. But to be honest, like I'm so, you know, just like ton of vision of what I got going on. Like I really love what what everybody's doing in the city right now. But to be honest, when I came in the game, I went straight for the old G's, you know, so like all my songs, my first album, I got Kiki. I got, you know, ESG. I got J-Dog, you know, and then, you know, I just really wanted to chase after the old G's first, the shoulder that I appreciate and paving the way. Because nowadays, I feel like a lot of times they don't say this new Houston like everybody's so quick that, you know, oh, we knew Houston. Like they know such thing, bro. It's new waves, same water like J-Dog say, you know, I feel like we're we're we're riding the wave right now and that they created. So we got to show love to appreciate them for even paving the way for us to even have a name out here. So, you know, Salute the Slim Thug, you know, J-Dog, Paul Wall, you know, Big Pokey, all the ones that really paved the way for us to even be able to to have a platform, you know. So without them, I feel like it ain't it ain't no us. You know what I'm saying? So but OK, so when you started venturing off into the music industry and you say you have all these different people that you did features with. But how hard was it for you to build these relationships to get these connects to to get those features? Man, to be honest, I'm a show like I always bring it up every time, you know, but I just want to let them know like Salute the Kiki, you know, but when I first started off, I remember they had this contest that they were doing that that it was like a talent contest type thing. And the winner won a verse from Lil Kiki. And I was the only Mexican up in there, you know, and it was so many it was so many people that they had to divide it into three first rounds. So I remember going up in there and, you know, I performed a song and I won the first round, made it to the second round and I made it to the last round, which was a freestyle to the Southside beat. And I ended up winning, you know, and I got the verse from Kiki. But before that, you know, I didn't know it was going to take so long. We're going on two and a half months. And I was calling the promoter like, hey, man, what's going on? What's up with Kiki? Like, what's up with the verse? And I said, like, you know, it got to the point where, you know, me and Kiki were on a three way and he's like, man, you know, I ain't going to miss you over, bro. You know, I'm on tour right now with Dog Pound and Ice Cube. But I was just so anxious because I remember being so hungry at the time, trying to start a name for myself that I was like, Brillock, bro, if the money's the issue, I know I won fair and square, but I'm going to put the money up. I'm not tripping. I just need this verse. And I remember him telling me, like, what are you going to do with the verse? I bet you're just going to put it on YouTube. Like, I'm pretty sure you're not going to put it on no platform. None of that. I'm like, man, look, bro. So long story short, it was a little bit of words exchanged. And then I told him, man, you can't forget about the times where you were starting up as you see and you was coming up and you was trying to hop in front of every DJ and show him your music. I'm hungry right now, you know? So at that time, I got my verse from Kiki and Kiki's the only one I don't got a video with, you know, because that kind of, like, put a strain into our relationship. But now we're like super cool. Like, you know, he sees me now. I feel like I earn my respect coming into the game because I wasn't just so easily like, oh, just give it to me when you want to give me the verse. Like, I was on on like, hey, man, you know, I need the verse, you know, I want fair and square. So and then that's when I had ran into ESG and I felt it was going to be the same thing. And ESG is the first one I paid a feature with that took me to the next level. So I had got a verse with ESG and I remember I was kind of nervous. Like, man, I don't want the same thing happening. But ESG, super professional shot him the verse. He shot me the shot him the money. He shot me the verse in 24 hours. We shot the video and it was history from then, man. Like I was on the radio that same week. So it just felt like everything was just God's timing, you know, when you said in that competition that you said you were like the only Hispanic. How many times you're put in a place where or and do you feel intimidated being the only Hispanic in a lot of these rooms that you go into, especially in this industry? To be honest, I love it. You know, I love being I love being the one that because I feel like when I first started off, like, you know, I know Salute the Pesso, I got a song with Pesso Pesso, too. But I feel like I was one of the first Mexicans. I feel like that was really in the mix. Like, you know, the DJ is trying to cut my time off and I'm going up there like, hey, bro, you ain't going to cut me off. I'm paying duty slots to come hop on with Kiki and and it was a little old and I remember doing those comp, those shows. And then I remember earning my respect out here for, you know, for them to respect that I can actually flow. But it's just like the the right when I hop off stage, the amount of love I get from the from the, you know, the black community is just amazing. Like they show me so much love and they're actually accepting me as not just a Mexican rapper, but rapping for the struggle, rapping for the, you know, giving them some real shit. You keep talking about this rapping and how long you've been doing it. Let me go on and put my let me put my blue tooth. You know, I hear niggas talking all the time. Yeah. A lot of talk going on. A lot of talking. Yes. OK. I'm going to go ahead and run me a freestyle thing going here. Let's do that. I think we're ready to go. But he rappers. They the ones, boy. Let's do this one, nigga. Let's go. OK. Which one you say you would? Which one? My deep quiet storm. Everybody liked that one, don't you? Hot Boy West to pick the same damn one. And who else was it? Spaceboy, Spaceboy, the same one. They they think they mob deep around this hole. Yeah, for real. I love, I love the rap. You know, I like to, I like to spit bars. I don't know. I'm going to go there. I don't know. Let me get it. Let me get it pulled up since you picked that one. Mob deep, what is it called? Quiet storm. That's the one they pick. Mm hmm. Well, they think that I meant to your metal. Hot Boy West? No, mob deep. Mob deep, no. I'm metal. That's always been like something I want to do. I look up to the, you know, the New York rap because I feel like they really spit bars and I feel like that's what I be doing. I'm all about really, you know, spitting something, not just, you know, so I'm ready for this. There we go. Let's go, man. Hey, boss talk on the one, man. Yeah. Check it, man. Yeah, you don't need to be on the one. Yeah, yeah, man. How you feel when you go down through that like that, man? Man, it takes me to that zone. It takes me to that hunger. It takes me when I first started off and feeling like I was one of the hardest out the north, man. So, you know, I had to show up when I was first coming up. Man, I loved it. What do you be thinking about? Because a lot of times I always see everybody when they're, when they be freestyling and they be like so zoned out. I'm like, what be running through your mind whenever you be rapping? Man, it just, it's just I get into that zone. It's just, it's just a whole another feeling like I remember starting off and feeling like if I can just get a chance to show people what I'm capable of, I know I could take it to the next level. So that's exactly what I did. I got a hell of a fan base right now. So salutes all my fans, man, you know. Where is your biggest fan base out of? Man, really all of Houston, everywhere I'm going. We went to Galveston yesterday because I just got a new whip and we went out there and there's people in Galveston just, hey, man, can I take a picture with you, bro? Buying my girl shots. I don't drink or smoke. So I was like, man, you know, you can go ahead and give baby a shot. I'm good. And I appreciate y'all took pictures with the whole little crew they have right there. They were super excited to see me, you know? And, you know, so I really got all of Houston. I feel like really be jamming for sure. Man, I love it, bro, man. You went down through there, man. I got hype too big. You know, I love that music. Yeah. Yeah, man. So, man, what's it, the thing, how was it working with J-Daw, man? Man, I love J-Daw, man. J-Daw, one of them guys, man, that really he's so street and he's so just so what you see is what you get. Man, I'm gonna tell you about this. It was another time we had did this thing and there were like J-Daw's gonna perform. So I remember going over there and DJ Pat, it was his show, you know what I'm saying? So we went out there and I remember feeling like I was so tired of DJs trying to play and like cut my time and having to go up there, get my money back and do stuff like that. When I went with DJ Pat, he was like, nah, bro, you gonna get your whole time with me. So me being nervous, like, man, I'm gonna end up cutting my time ago, make sure I do my whole set. J-Daw wasn't even in the building. So boom, J-Daw comes in there. I say, man, what would it take for me to be able to perform in front of J-Daw? They say, $150. I said, all right, cool, boom, pay that, spit my flow, the one I shot at J-Daw in, the next thing you know, we doing minutes in society. That's like a song that's over 600,000 views on YouTube with me and J-Daw and working with him and it's just like, it's on a whole other level, man. I feel like he's one of Houston's best, like Houston DMX, you know, that's what I feel like. He got so much game and if you just sit there and listen, I feel like he's dropping a whole bunch of gems. Salute to the hog, man. Nah, that's real, man, because he one of those guys that I've been watching for a long time, man. Behind 5%, 10th wonder, never go down. I mean, slow down. You don't talk about that. Yeah. Man, that boy was sitting first, he bought eight, man. You know what I'm saying? Just some real spiel, man. So I just love the way that he go down through there and ESG was here last night, man. I've been, like I said, I talked to, since I started Boss Talk 101, I talked to J-Daw a few times and just, I got a lot of love for him. If I can ever get him on the show, that'll be hard, you know what I'm saying? That's my dog, man. You know, that's my boy. We got like 22 songs with each other. Yeah, that's my dog, man. That's hard. We got a whole tape called Ghetto Prophets. Excuse me, we got a whole tape called Ghetto Prophets. We done did the remix to that Master P. I feel like somebody's watching me. We did one to Street Military Dead in the Year sample. You know what I'm saying? Like we got some hits, man. We got a whole tape called Ghetto Prophets. Everybody's like, how do you get J-Daw in the studio? It's one of the hardest people to get a hold of, but I promise you, whenever he drops that track, it's just like the process, seeing him write is just like a real artist at work, you know? Like we'll be in the studio and he'll be like, hey bro, just run that beat. And I'm like, hey bro, you don't need no pen, no pad. And he's just like nah, bro, I'll write in my head. Gets in that zone, cut the lights off, leave them by itself. And then boom, I'm ready, man. Press record, boom. He goes in, man, you know, so. And it's like a three hour wait to get J-Daw to get something come out of his head, man. It's a long time. A lot of patience comes with working with the hug, but I promise whenever he drops something, it's like a whole another level. Like I've never experienced working with something, but I done worked with a lot of big people in the city and I gotta admit, the favorite person I've ever had a track with was J-Daw, that's why we got so many. We got like 22 tracks. Wow, that's crazy, man. So do you have any music with anybody else outside of H-Town or just H-Town? Yeah, just, I feel like just H-Town, like yeah. Will you work with other people or no? Yeah, I really wanna work with Highboy West. Like I feel like me and him got some. Have you reached out to him or you haven't? Nah, I haven't reached out to him. I really feel like. You got a link to him? Uh-uh. I really feel like, I had nothing to get ahold of him. One of my boys did a song with him. Exactly. So I really wanna. Yeah, he be posting on his top on his top. Yeah, I always try to do so. He's like anybody who wanna feature, reach out. I really wanna do some with him, yeah. Him, that's one of the ones I feel like he's just real raw and real. Like that's what I'm on. Like his music that I got coming out, is on a whole another level, bro. And I really feel like, like Highboy West, that's one of the ones that I feel like when you asked me early, who's music I messing with? Highboy West is the truth, man. He's from Texas, you know, so. Waco, we been up there, you, did you see him on Boss Top? I haven't seen him on Boss Top. You gotta have a few times. Yeah, man, he's the truth. This that platform, this platform and embracing, for real. I've been all up to Waco, man. I deal with those. This Texas, man. This is for us, by us. Like, boo back in the day, man. This is it. You know what I'm saying? This is your platform. Yeah, man. He is true, bro. And that's why when Aldi called me, I had got home real late, real yesterday. We went out and Aldi. Try that Aldi 300. Man, that dude right there is the truth. Since my boy Dizzy Mayaki, that's how we know each other. He shot all my videos, Dizzy Mayaki. And he came out, he was like, hey, bro, you heard about my boy Aldi, man. Look, check him out. And I told him, man, like, soon as I heard Aldi, I'm like, oh, this dude is the truth, man. You know what I'm saying? Like the way he raps. And I tell him, like, look, bro, I feel like I done got the, like I've earned everything that I came in this game. Like I got songs with Sauce Walker, Pesso Pesso, Boston George, J-Doc, Slim Thug, Paul Wall. You know, I got songs with Lil Jeremy. I got songs with Pesso. I got songs with Kili Callion. Like I done worked with the whole city, man. So I feel like whenever Aldi came in, I see everything that's going on for him. I honestly feel like I told him, bro, I'm so happy for everything that you got accomplished, man. Cause I feel like he deserves everything, especially his story and where he came from and how he came out and got straight to it. I mean, I don't know anybody who's dropped over nine or 10 albums in a little time that he's been out of prison. Salute to Aldi, man. You know what I'm saying? The hardest worker in the game for real, for real. Man, so how was it working with Paul Wall? I'm going to tell you the truth, man. Paul Wall is one of the realest dudes in the game. I remember I was like, look, bro, I got this song called Dreams to Reality, The Fat Pat. And I put Slim on there. I got J-Doc on there and I got Paul Wall. And I told him, hey, look, bro, we got all this thing, I'm about to turn my album in. Man, Paul signed me the thing. He said, check your email, it was already done. And Paul is one of the realest ones in the game. I honestly feel like if anybody wants to know what's Houston, I feel like Paul Wall is definitely one of the way he embraces the culture and the way he ain't got no hate and bone in his body. Man, that's the way I feel like I want to be in the game cause I show so much love to the up and coming. And I got so much, I use my platform to help the up and coming grow. Like I got so many features with the young up and coming that I've done show them love and show them to the video shoot and did more than just take their money. I'm putting them on my platform, posting them on my wall, give them a swipe up on my story for a whole week. And that's what I feel like. How long, like when you reach out to Paul Wall, cause you know, you said the little Kiki thing kind of it took, it didn't go the way you had planned but when you had gotten grown a little bit more when you reach out to Paul Wall, right? Oh yeah, me and Paul already knew me by name. That's the difference. You know, little Kiki, I understand he's a, you know he's a big artist and he's one of the pioneers of Houston and ain't nobody got a hustle like Kiki. You know what I'm saying? Kiki is one of the, you know the artists that really showed you how to get some money up out of here. Like, you know, he's a successful rapper in the Houston community and just all around. So I understood where he was coming from because sometimes ain't nothing worse than a rapper trying to waste your time. So I feel like now that he's seen, me and Kiki got like three more songs with each other and they all worked out fine. Like I got a song with him and Flip that never came out instead of coming down with PMC and then so honestly feel after I've earned my respect with Kiki. Oh man, it's on a whole nother level. I done did the album release party where I had Kiki come out and like I said I just feel like honestly feel he probably thought I was trying to waste his time but man, you know, here I am now still in the game and being one of the voices I hear if you know, underground and actually scratching the surface out here in Houston. So you're doing a great job for what I hear, man. You don't name everybody that I could really think of down here like you don't work with everybody. Everybody, everybody, you know. And then all off of myself too like honestly feel like coming in this game. A lot of people try to ask me, you know what's the, you know, how did you get to where you was at and honestly feel like you got to have your back right even before the rap, you know because it's investing, it's going to the studio and getting the right mix and a master and not just going to record somewhere and then just putting anything out getting good graphics, getting good video shot. That's what it's all about, you know and not being scared to invest your money. And I felt like my whole life was a gamble. So I honestly started with nothing. So I felt like me rolling the dice on myself was just like the only thing I can do and I'll always roll 7-Eleven, you know what I'm saying? So I'm good at taking a chance and it worked for me, you know and I could have got a song with ESG and it didn't do nothing, you know so when I did that song with E, boom, it blew up. I was in the Gold Toes office getting a distribution deal and then with DJ Michael Watts for four Sundays in the row him playing Samoa, you know so and then, you know ESG is one of the realest in the game too, man. I can't talk about Paul before I talk about ESG, man. I remember when we first started off and we did Samoa he introduced me to Gold Toes and then Screwfest was coming up and y'all know how crazy Screwfest gets. It was like over 3,000 or 4,000 people and ESG's like, man, salute to one of the hardest young essays working man in the city. My boy, Young Easy, he brought me in front of a whole bunch of people, man and brought me on stage and I always remember I'd be so excited to perform one song and people don't know, that's what it is. You get that one song and you show the people how you rap and how you're so passionate I started gaining fans like that being at the Screwfest, the day of unity with SPM. ESG brought me to that, you know and then now having a personal relationship with SPM him calling me from jail and showing love and being so involved with everybody I grew up listening to that I can only imagine working with them, having relationships with them and it just feels amazing, you know what I'm saying? I'm so respectful, I definitely respect what you've done. It's an honor and a pleasure to be here with you top three artists of all time dead or alive before we get off here. Number one, J-Daw. Number one dead or alive, ever in life. I feel like, what a nigga, little J-Daw, we ain't playing no games about J-Daw. Period, nigga. That's my D-Daw, man. That's my D-Daw, man, I ain't gonna lie, like. Number two, Phat Phat. Any genre, this is all about any genre. I don't care what you just named that J-Daw. Yeah, I'm still going with that, nigga. I'm still going with that, man. Number three, POT. POT, yeah. Really it's POT number one, J-Daw and then Phat Phat. That's hard, man. Man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man.
