Oh, straight. Say, man, I got a lot of things. Oh, no, he looked pretty confident, man. Listen, man, I got a little dude, man, that was on here the other week reminding me of him. And he go to Duncanville, and his name is Ziggy. Ziggy made it. He do beats for yelling all them boys. He did something for Mr. Lucci. And he's 17 or 16, he was just on the show. And I was trying to trick him up, you know what I mean? I got to stand behind this mic. Okay, young man, you did beats for who? And he was good. He answered the questions and he did a good job, man. So, hey, I believe the children are our future anyway, so this is good to me. So, just tell us a little bit about yourself, Cavante. Come on with it. I'm just a young person, trying to get it. How old are you? 17. 17. You're 17 years old. Now, without saying too much, you just come home. Right. How long was you in? A year. You been gone a year? All right, that's how much your heart on grew on a year. Yeah. I cut it off. Okay, all right. Yeah. So, while you was in there, what did you learn? Basically like, money, money don't buy your time taste. Yeah. So I take it you was in there for trying to get some money. Yeah. Yeah, trying to get you some money, huh? Yeah, I can relate to that. I've been there, you know what I'm saying? Where I was thinking about the money and pretty much put myself in a situation. And I talked to y'all when I came down and spoke. And the thing I could say is, remember I said you got to change why you're here. You know what I mean? The change in our side of here was not impressive. But while you was here, you had to make a change inside of those doors. I felt that way because it starts when you say I changed my mind. And you say, hey, I'm gonna do something different. And so what did you miss the most about being out here? You miss family? Yeah. Yeah. Is that big sister right there? Yeah, there you go, that's big sister. Big sister, big sister? Nice, big sister, nephew. Wow. Go ahead. So from what Ms. King told me, your mother and father is deceased, both parents are deceased. Wow. You the baby boy. Basically. Basically. Yeah. What is it? Go ahead. Tell us about Ms. King. Because they gonna be watching this later. Oh yeah, they gonna. They tuned in to Boss Talk 101. I don't know if they gonna watch Monica Hill, but they gonna watch both of them. Yeah, they gonna watch both of them because they be in this thing. So what was that experience like, man, being incarcerated and having somebody to really care and knowing they care? Like, basically, I seen her as a big any type stuff. Yeah. Like, she was always there for me. She was trying to put me on with y'all and this stuff. She was trying to help me out cause like she seen some of me me. Yeah. So like, basically, she was just there for me. Wow. It wasn't that much people in there like that was there for me, but she was there for me. Wow. All right, man. So the things that she's seen in you, have you seen that stuff in yourself yet? Mm-hmm. You have? And the things that you've learned and mentally changed your mind about things, how are you gonna use that to now that you're here and out, how are you gonna use that to make yourself better and to get somewhere? Basically, like, basically what I do, like, I ain't gonna care if sometimes you wanna give up on rapping. Like, some just tell me, like, just keep going and your time coming, right? Yeah, well, the thing you gotta understand here is it's okay to rap, I guess, but you gotta have balance. Right. So you still gotta think about other things, you know what I mean? I've met a lot of millionaires and people that basically have a lot of things, but most of the time they're doing this and that, they're not just doing one thing. So you gotta have your mind freed up to understand how to deal with balance, you know what I mean? And that's what everything we do. When you eat, you balance. Everything you do is balanced. And so that's where we come in at, you know, as a community, as a village, especially as men who have walked in your path. So that's where we kinda come in at home to help you transition into manhood without having to go to prison. Correct. You know what I'm saying? So that's why you're here today, to get you what you need so you don't have to try to feel that pressure of trying to get some money. Then we'll help you find a job where you can help big sister, where you can be an asset into the house and rather a liability. We'll help you get you a car when it's time to get you a car, homie. So that's what we're committed to as long as you're committed to do what's right. Correct. That's the whole game, man, just staying focused, man. Coming home and trying to transition back into society as young as you are, even as young as he is, it's still effective because you hadn't been dealing with different people interacting with way, you know, the freedom that you gonna have now. So you gotta be very careful not to get yourself caught up in recidivism. That means going back into the same behavior patterns. Just what it says, right? In Texas, 80% of juveniles are rearrested within one year after being released. I fell in those statistics. I got caught with 10 pounds, nine months after getting out. But I was going to college. I was on my way to go enroll in college but just trying to get some money, homie, just trying to fit in. So I'm telling you, if you want the grills, we plugged in on that. If you want a route, we got studio time. We plugged in on that. If you wanna get your chain, you ain't gotta do nothing wrong, homie. Like my mother, all you gotta do is what's right so we can help take that burden off your sister, right? You help bring the resources to the house now because now you connected to the resources. Correct. And he not just talking cause like I said, Sergeant Jay who did bus, he was just here yesterday or day before yesterday? Day before yesterday. All these guys, you know, if you're really serious about your craft and you really wanna get it in, we got those resources for you. So you don't have to go out there and try to figure it out for yourself as long as you're trying to stand sturdy in doing the right thing. So you like our mascot, right? So you the first little nigga that called us up out to the facility. So you the one get to say, if we full of shit, if we lying. So you know what I'm saying? So you the one get to say, hey man, they lying, they ain't buying none of that. So you get to be the mascot, homie. Or you get to be the testimony that God is gonna use for us. That's right. Yeah, we trying to build a testimony. Correct. And like he said, man, like I said, you got an opportunity and that's what we're here for. You know, today we're gonna try to figure out some things and get you something a little care package to, you know. And we always here, you know, my store been here. This store been here for 15. Well, 15, 16 years. Going on 15 years, going on 15 years. So this ain't, this ain't no new spot. We've been here and I've been sturdy. You know, like I said, when I came out my situation, I didn't end up going back into anything. I was able, but it wasn't easy. Like I told you earlier, but I still was able to shake back and I'm here now. And I've been here and I've been consistent. But you gotta, you can do it. Right. And don't forget and don't get it twisted. The devil is gonna test you and come at you constantly. But you have to tell it within yourself to know that I'm not going back. I'm not gonna do this. I'm young. I can overcome this because there's a lot of people looking at you and by you overcoming it gives them faith to know that they can also overcome as well. So you're not just doing this for yourself because our time here on this earth is not for ourselves, but it's for other people who are watching. You have younger kids who are watching you who are trying to see, okay, is he gonna go back to what he used to do and stuff like that? But once you keep pushing, they might get out of their situation and start following you. You can be that positive road model in somebody else's life. I brought my son up here to meet you. He ain't not doing his work now though. He's in virtual school, but I wanted him to meet you. And he'll get to meet you before you leave, but I just wanted him to see you and just to shake hands with you so he can meet somebody like you, man. Somebody that know what it is, go through something, but then not only go through it, but you're gonna beat everything that you have. It's gonna turn to good. So I want him to see that. I want him to be a part of that. The transformation, man, it's gonna be incredible. And I believe in you. That's the whole game. When you do have a support since I didn't have that. Now he did. You said you had a support. Yeah, I had a great support. I didn't have that. My mom died six months before I got into any trouble and I didn't care. I was ready to do whatever. That's when your mind gone. You don't care. And so, yeah, yeah, but we here now. Well, I was before you was born. I'm out here, man. I'm out here, man. So yeah, man, with that being said, I just want to appreciate you all for having him on your man, sharing the story. And we go document the story. Yeah, exactly. So as he transitioned and move on, we'll catch him six months from now. Bring him back in and let the people and the listeners know how he's doing. And then we're gonna get that file that you're spending cause you're supposed to be. Do you come from the dome or do you write? Do you have something that you already wrote? Have you ever been to the studio? Yeah, I've been to the studio. You know Tony Gunners? Yeah, you a punch in, bro. You punch in? Sometimes. Because he can drop you a beat right now and see what you can do. Yeah, I can drop a beat. I mean, I don't play. Like, man, stop playing, man. You don't understand. You don't understand. You tell him what beat you want and he can do it. No, I got him. I got him. I know what he wants to be doing, man. I'm gonna get you a hit on me. Oh, you can get him a beat right now. I'm gonna get him right now. Yeah, you good to be an old fella. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you good. Yeah, I can't even do that. Yeah, I get that boy a beat, man. We're gonna get him going. We ain't gonna play with it. Yeah, I'm gonna realize. Look at him. He don't even look scared. No, he don't even look scared. He ain't shook head into that beat. When that beat drops, we gonna see what's gonna go out when that beat drops. You know, I ain't gonna lie to you. Who's your favorite rapper? I really don't got one. No, who's your favorite? It's somebody that you like. Who do you listen to? He go hard. The only two is... Lil Baby. Nah, I don't even listen to you. Okay, that's what I'm near. I need them folk. J.D. Young and the Bugatti Casino. Bugatti Casino. Shout out to Bugatti Casino, man. I feel the calling right here in the minute, man. They don't even say listen to Bugatti. So while you are gone, did you write any music? Mm-hmm. You hear it in the info? Okay. What do you think about that? We can kiss on Mel's name, will we? You got to feel it. You're...

Smoking, press out, do peck, leave my arms dying. And knock corona free, they know I ain't lying. If that top of the line kick, you know I ain't buying. If that pistol do not blow, you know I ain't buying. All right, man, say it, man. Check it, man. Wait a minute, I'ma get you a beat for that. You don't have a beat yet for that? Say it, man. Okay, I'ma send that for somebody. And I'ma listen, I'ma get you a beat for that. I'ma get it made for you, I'ma pay for it. And I'ma see what you gon' do. Let's say they look, look, I'm talkin' about it. They like it, look at it. They like it, all them 100s. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm telling you, what we gon' do, we gon' make them a beat for that. I got the catering scene now. I gotta do a take-up. I'ma send it to my partner, he gon' put that beat together. It almost sound like something that I've heard a beat. It's like the whole time he's doing it, it's like I'm hearing the beat in my head. Oh, so you're a producer now. I'm hearing the beat. I got it, I'm hearing the beat. Oh, you're a producer now. It's some pain behind that song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's some pain in them lyrics. That's the whole game, man. Like I said, I told my little cousin, my little Kenfolk up in North Carolina, cause he talk about the streets, the struggle and everything and he let it become him. And I was telling him the other day, I said, look here, Kenfolk, he my first cousin. We got the same name, my cousin in Florida. We the same age and everything. But his son is in North Carolina and he raps. And I said, man, you get it together. I'ma rock with you. Cause I got so many people. Like he said, we connected with all these different resources. We just need somebody that has a willing mind that want to do right. And I told him, you can't get caught up in the music. You got to understand it's a business. It's a business and you got to understand that when you're dealing with it, you stepping into a character and then you coming back to who you are. Dumb. You know what I mean? So you got to remember that. That's important. And so, high school with them grades gonna be like, you think you got this? I'm on A honor right now. Oh wow. Are you serious? Boy, I tell you, you're my daughter. She on A honor roll and my son in there too. Yeah, you with the right group. That's good. Keep it up. So if you got some little partners that don't have no felony convictions, we got a partnership with American Airlines out at the company called Prospect, right? Well, we helping kids get jobs out there in the airline industry. So we helping 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 year olds get jobs out at the DFW airport. So if you got some little partners and they talking about doing wrong or getting into some trouble, you got to say, no, man, we y'all gonna work out here at the airport on me. They starting out anywhere from nine to $10 an hour. Yeah. That's good stuff. I was gonna ask you about that. That was the main reason because I heard you saying, talking about that. And I feel like that's something that people need to know. If they know, they can get involved. No, they have choices. Yeah. A American Airlines employee representative told me about a hiring process that they was having through a company called Prospect that was gonna be hiring young people through American Airlines employees. Okay. So they know what I do working with children. And so we're creating kind of like an apprenticeship where we can help kids get on out there through Prospect and through good work ethic and character and attendance. They branch off into the airline industry. That's life. That's good. That's life. That's life. You know, that's a start, man. They get to travel and see the world and all of that fun stuff. Yeah. So that's what we're working on. That's important, man, for our people to have a bridge to walk over into something special like that. So what do you think, man? What do you, this music thing, how you think you want to take off fast so you willing to take your time and be patient with it? No, really, I ain't really... You got to be patient, brother. You got to have some faith, but you got to have patience with it. You know what I'm talking about? Because it might just go, then it might go slow. Right. Yeah, but pray don't go too fast because a lot of people who go too fast don't know how to handle it. Yeah, they get famous before they get famous. Right, you got to take your time with it so you can keep your mind straight. Put it like this, homie. I introduce one of my Hispanic friends, nephew, Terrain Water. He put the Hispanic kid music on his page, freestyling just like you. They already offer two deals. But if you take these deals, it'll get you some money now, but that may all you may get. Right. So you be patient with it, homie. You have to be. You have to be patient. You just coming home for being incarcerated a year. You shouldn't be in a rush to do nothing. Exactly. But learn who these people are right here. Reconnect with your family. They got to re-know who you are because you ain't the same person you was when you went in. You're somewhat of a new man. But a new mindset, a little bit more mature. They know to owe you. So you got to introduce them to the new you, right? So they can have a little bit more confidence and a little bit more trust in who you are today compared to who you used to be yesterday. That's good. And that's true. And do your research. Do your research, study. Anything anybody offer you. You have something called the World Wide Web. You need to always do your research. Look everything up. Don't always take everybody's word for it. Do your research and come to, you know, give yourself knowledge. And if you need me, I'm here. I told you I've been here for 15 years. I'm here. Listen, I'm talking about, if your sister puts you out in the middle of the night. I'm here. Get out of here, Nick. John, come get me. She done put him out. She done put him out. She can call and say, come get him. I'm sick of him. I'm sick of him. Man, okay. Yes, man. We're coming to get him. Yeah. He's sleeping on the floor in the stove. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We got to have you. Cause we love you. That's what it's about having somebody who really, about what they say. A lot of people be talking, but when you really got somebody who gonna do what they say. Yeah. I stand on it. Yeah. I stand on it. I stand on it. So yeah. So yeah, we ain't gonna keep you up no more, man. We won't go and let you pick something out of here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We definitely true to what we say. I want you to know that we hear. I'm here. And that's the whole game for me. Now look, you think we might send them over there to the spa? Yeah. I'm pretty sure we can. You think we can get a thing? Yeah. Yeah. Yo, they want a massage. Yeah. They gonna do the facial. They gonna do everything, sister. Yeah. They gonna do the massage.
