 What they gon' do with me now? I'm still a twerk of the town Holding the sisters, I'm hoakin' them down I'm reachin' the smiles and the frowns Gang hop out, then we clarin' the crowd Gucci, Gucci, Egg and Boogie I put dick all in her gut Like these movies, Call of Duty I got different clips in her gut We got a new episode of twerk of the town Today we have a special guest Too rare What's going on? So for the people that don't know Tell us like what part of Philly you from? From like the north side Like mixed with the east Like north, like north east You could say like north east So like tell us what it's like Growing up over there though It's like the typical Philly shit Drill and shit You know, trap and shit Like long story short If you stay in your lane Like you gon' be cool for real I used to play football So I used to be out the way on the block Like playing like streetball But they say like it was good in football Yeah I was sharp, I ain't gon' lie So like what happened? Like what stopped your football dreams? I'm story short A town like my 12th grade hurricane I was going through like little shit Around the neighborhood Like my old lady had got killed In front of the high school So I ain't really like Feeling me I ain't really want to go to school We feel a little bit of little words on But I slid out LA For like two to three weeks By the time like the third week came I was burnt out out there Going Beverly Hills People up around the door So LA the vibe? It was a vibe But where we was at It wasn't a vibe Like it's all old Like old shit Like you know we young We gon' have the fun Like you know like the Miami vibe I feel like LA is slow I mean Is it not smoking Or party my guess So would you move to LA Or not I don't think so I ain't lie Like my old head right now I don't give me out LA But I don't know But you want to stay in Philly? I don't want to stay in Philly I don't want to stay in Philly But where you been going to move to next? Like Touching some M's Where you moving to? Where you going? Probably Texas Where? Probably Texas Texas I ain't gonna lie I might go somewhere like Close to Kali though Probably somewhere around Kali But I don't know I'm gonna be moving around so much It's like I don't know Somewhere safe where I could live I hear that Aside from football Like Physically from football to music Like how is that Like how did you get into music Like what is some of your early memories Of music Going through the moves It's trying to find the right studio So how is that Finding studios and stuff like that Alright It probably took for me to like Go to like my temp studio In the city for me to really know Like that's the one for me So what would it be? It'd be like the engineer It'd be the engineer It'd be the quality It'd be the engineer Like when I first started making music I had a rapper And they get that engineer in my song Like sometimes he was It seemed like he used to be hating on me Sometimes the next one would be right If only one song would be right The other song would be like Damn bro you could have put More effort in this Like Like so when it comes to like recording Like you know the type of like I guess plugins you know You know how to record yourself Yeah I don't know how to record myself yet That's what I got to learn though Asin So you want to learn how to record yourself Yeah for sure So like you found the right studio When did you start dropping music? I started dropping music Like after my first song I recorded I straight dropped that shit like You didn't care? I didn't care I just dropped that shit like Fuck it So like how was your friends and stuff Transitioning from singing football To music now How was that? Like bro you gonna You gonna give football up Or you really gonna stop bro But me I always knew like If I just dedicate myself to it It's on Like with anything like Like it could be anything I feel like For real for real Acting You know what I mean Anything It's all about practice With anything for real So First song dropped it What was the traction like coming from me Like what made you keep doing it? Motherfuckers hating on me My old homies hating on me So hate is motivation for you Yeah Okay so like when did I guess when did your music start picking up Was people in the city fucking with you Or was it outside the city that was fucking with you It was in the city It was in the city for sure I dropped a song called Nobody Love It shot up Like I had like The hood The hood type fan base Okay Like I ain't had like No white people or nothing But I knew like I ain't really want that shit to like Be like the hood type fan base So I dropped a song called Big Bag And once Big Bag dropped it seemed like I got everybody like Both sides of the You know So And like so I don't know like what If you how to describe your sound I said How right here was death I would do describe your sound to her Got the bed but You know How would you describe your sound I don't know how to explain it Fun I got a fun sound I feel like Fun Cookout music Oh no That's gonna make your grandma Auntie's an uncle's ass too Oh shit oh shit So I So Repeat that again He's definitely just If you just how to explain the song Explain your sound I guess To a deaf person How you gonna do it I don't know how to do that shit To someone To someone that never heard your music How would you explain it What vibes should they be expecting from you A good vibe I don't know Like You gonna feel good I don't know how you could explain to a deaf person Bro He's still cooking this Oh shit Now I'm like When did you Because everybody takes time to find their sound How did you know this sound was your sound I still don't feel like I found my sound yet You still feel like you're trying stuff out Yeah I'd just be trying different vibes If you really go through my catalog It's like different types of I feel like you Go like fast paced I feel like it's like very Yeah I'd definitely like faster paced You're not going to be on here Trying to just ride with us You know Yeah I do have a couple songs like that That slow down Slow down but you know You dropped them No I ain't dropped them yet Exactly So you like having fun You like doing like people dancing So you still feel like you found your sound I ain't found it I know I did Wow I'm shocked you said that Because you've been doing music for how long now Like Three going on four I think then Three years going on four years Yeah I think so Some shit like that I started when I was like 19 18, 19 21 there Okay So then um so Cupid is like the most Viralist song right now Right So like how did that I'm start picking up TikTok I posted a sound on TikTok I got a couple people to like dance to it Once these two Chicago boys Had made like the challenge It was like up Like it was from like 1,000 to 1,000 to like 10,000 From 10,000 to like 20,000 They just started like doubling Going up So you reached out to them Or they just did it No they just did it Okay I feel like when you do that It don't shoot up Like if you don't do it the organic way Like Cupid still ain't got No money put into it enough Like that's all the organic stuff So did y'all get that cleared No we ain't get it cleared We about to get it cleared now though So like does that like discourage you Like if you work on a song and it's fine And it doesn't get cleared Hell yeah So you're gonna like stay away from samples No No I ain't stay away from samples I ain't go a lot like That's just like the vibe right now But it do like discourage Or like sometimes it do like have me like I gotta stay away from this shit But I still do it Like anything I like I do that shit And then the Cupid beat Like I feel like after you did it I see like so many people doing it Do you feel like people copying you And do you No people definitely hate this stuff But I feel like you kinda like Are spreading like I don't know people feeling me to be creative And a lot of people start hopping on like the Like the club type beats more like How you feel about that It's a good job I don't fucking keep it relevant I don't care You feel like Philly did that first No Philly ain't doing it first He still got Baltimore He still got Jersey But I feel like Motherfuckers ain't really start doing it Repeatedly until Philly Did it like me, Zahar so sisterly Cause I feel like we made that shit Turned like to a whole different like Ballgame like commercial type shit Like People rapping on club beats But like who really like solidified That type shit I feel like we did that I ain't gonna lie So like you said you said Baltimore's doing it Jersey's doing it and y'all So how do people differentiate the difference Like how do you know this is a Philly song This is a Jersey song No I feel like No I feel like the difference is Well with me I feel like I turned it to like a melodic Type feel on the beat Well other motherfuckers just punching And they just rapping all hard On the song That's probably like the difference Where you park it here I don't know What you just gonna have to tell Like if the artist from Philly or Jersey I don't know Yeah it's really hard to tell So how do you go about picking it Like what's the creative process Like we in the studio I always make sure I hear it a beat Before I go in there I always wonder in a type shit Well sometimes when I do Probably do a drone that I did want to do I probably like Go to my email Listen to some drones Or I don't know It's like I should be different Every studio session Every studio session be a little different So what was the Cupid studio session Like you been heard to be Did you tell somebody to make that sample specifically I was then cause listen That's like part of the music That's like part of the music And I then had it like When Sturdy and them did like shake that I heard it They had sparked the idea in my head Cause I then had the Cupid song Like saved in my sound club I'm like man let me try this shit I did like two songs before Cupid I did Cupid like 15 to 20 minutes Some punching in Freestyle and shit And when I did it I just uploaded that shit And it seemed like you saw me What I was going to do And then you also got the Uchi Kuchi song Inspired that song The nigga Mike on the beat He had No I had A's Mike like yo We got to put like some tiktok shit in this drone Like Around that time it was that viral shit That was going like That we got Money bottom on with some shit like that It was me being me I said Koochie When I said Koochie wants to beat drop I just started like mumbling Like the melody of that shit And I just put words on that shit And that's how that happened Oh Mike so I got to go I'm going to get to Koochie by tomorrow How you go about doing that What you mean who Like if you have a girl You got to get this by tomorrow how you go about doing that How do you Something to be linking up is on I ain't know it No dates no Something to be linked up is on What you mean like if she my girl Or if she like a random girl Random girl got to get this Koochie by tomorrow Some girls don't be Don't be asking for dates and shit like that They just be wanting to catch the vibes And be around niggas Well I'm sure that happens more now So how you go about that How do you know this is a groupie versus This is somebody I want to How they come off in the DM Or how they act like When you talk to them Screenshot and shit It's different ways like That screenshot shit real Of course it is Y'all lit You could text and then it's smooth Damn you look good as shit or something That's just a screenshot You know what you was doing Delete that shit So girls be sliding in the DM So you do be on the checking the DM stuff I don't be checking my DMs for them I check my DMs for like Reposted videos and shit I'll be missing out on certain stuff So they could shoot a shot in the DM You might see it you might not Yeah I might see it I'll be scrolling through that shit Check my little hidden request Do you feel like That it'll be a distraction from you Are you in my shirt or are you single I ain't gonna lie I should complicate it That's the thing I was saying So why is it complicated Because you're focused on your career No I'm not even that Somebody sent some screenshot Of this weird shit So it's like I'm living life right now I ain't gonna lie but It's like I ain't saying it like on some nut shit Like if you gonna believe what this bitch saying And all that like just go ahead Okay so you're not My sister go above and beyond Yeah Okay I'm with another ass nigga You're being the artist girls are crazy But I'm like So So how do you go about like marketing promote yourself Get your name out there Marketing promote myself Yeah I don't like It's not really no special way I do it I just I either upload a snippet Post this shit on tiktok Let it build up on tiktok And probably drop Like right now I got another sound I had remixed it like that I like The little sample drum One thing I did was Got somebody like a tiktok influencer Post that drum on his drum I just dropped it And they just like they making videos right now So I should probably be like 2000 videos in like 3 days 2 3 days So like you feel like tiktok definitely Helped your career Yeah hell yeah it did So do you encourage like more artists to get on tiktok Or you gotta just figure it out Or it's different ways you could Take off like but me I'm seeing tiktok from the rip Okay Like an easier way If it build up If it don't build up On tiktok like don't get discouraged Type shit And do you feel like a way like when people People be like oh it's a lot of tiktok stars nowadays Did that turn bother you It's like You on you on Either way you get on I kinda cared about that Like I don't consider myself a tiktok Right because I've been had to wait Before tiktok tiktok just made my shit Like a whole Different But I don't know They label me as that Like fuck it bro I don't know what I'm saying That's like a thing people say Like without tiktok artists It's another platform Yeah just promoting yourself Yeah you promoting yourself I think back then like people used to compare it a little techer Yeah That used to frown me Like big Like I ain't gonna lie I don't know what part it was The braces and how my hair I don't know So like do you like So I mean You feel like the second inspiration You listen to him I fuck with him but he ain't no inspiration to me You know Who was some of your inspirations growing up Growing up Getting in the studio Probably say like Drake Like when I First started making music though That's when the baby like first we started Popping up I was watching his shit like Heavy I think cause your music videos be super creative Yeah like he kinda like made me like really think Super outside the box like I watch hella movies So watching him just had me think Of like Shit I've been seen and all like On the music video tip so Like all your music videos be super creative If you got your peoples coming out Y'all have storylines, props How much you be spending on your videos Big I used to be big I used to be a lot of Amazon Pearl, everything Got wheat And so you planning out straight through I ain't gonna lie sometimes I come

planned out We had props And in Cupid y'all had like the dancing mouse Cupid we rushed that drone Cupid we had the like the way that drone was taking off It was like I gotta get my face on this record So we kinda rushed that video like So do you feel like you wish you Wanna spend more time on that one On Cupid Are you happy the way it turned out I ain't happy I ain't gonna lie Cause they like they killed my sound On tiktok they started Taking my stuff off a spot I felt like the shit did 500,000 streams the same day it dropped Took it off But I still I still need a remix on it You still need a
