I like the artist like Jesus Gucci Yo Gotti Then I like to like the executive side to like the artist that play like the executive roles to like the masterpiece Burrman Jay Prince all them people So, um, so, you know the pandemic is like sort of kind of coming to an end now Do the pandemic like shift your creativity or change anything or was everything still flowing Everything was still flowing like I was still like still recording Still like traveling when I want to I remember like when airports was like Empty like nobody was in there like you still flying when the airport is empty. Yeah Still in there just flying. It'll be like one or two people on the plane When I was still out. Yeah, that's cool. So um, so Did you ever think that you would be to where you at now? Like what is it ever a point where you want to stop rapping or like? Was what kept you like going motivated? Yeah, I always feel like I was gonna be the like Why I'm why I'm mad and why I'm going cuz I know it was gonna be like no rap shit I know I was gonna get some money some kind of way Yeah So I'm so money more so keeps me motivated than anything. Yeah money and like just Having a new challenge period like in this a like whether whether whether it's money that come with it But it's like I just like challenging myself sometime. Okay. Yeah, so you said goals and deadlines to yourself Yeah, yeah, so all the time So what's something like that's like on your like deadline list right now? I know you got artists now He's starting up your label. So like what's something like on your deadline right now? um Ready to get no rich get the cup a company get my whole company rich like starting a real brand I've been late. I just been watching a whole lot of like like Like bad boys back in the day death row back in the day like real labels that came up from the bottom Like like I said masterpiece Even to the people that's doing the new shit now like goddess and all them doing what they're doing Stuff like that. So what was like one something I stood up to you that realize you made up the hood like When this happened everybody like felt it or you felt it When I feel like I made it out here Traveling people stopping all the states like what was it like? Oh snap. This is worldwide now. I mean I feel like I made it out here like when I when I moved out But it's like I felt like I was doing something like when I go to other states and Like people know who I am and I know it's from music. It ain't from got nothing nothing to do But music and social media and shit like that. So that kept me motivated to keep going because I'm like if I can get This person on me then I know this person to get on it. It's just be a consistent grind like every day Okay, so um, so but you did sign a label before when are you signed store? Are you independent now? I'm still signing in the score SMG in the score Okay, so um, so what does it mean to like? What does it mean to the rap game to you? Like how important is music for you? I love music. I feel like the world wouldn't be the same without me So it's important and it's so much Legitimate legal money you can get and wrap so it's like why not So who's like your all-time top three dead or alive right now music artists rappers That name of top three Yeah, that's hard. I Like one I like one dude you probably don't even know like do be from Alabama. He died like He was young his name don't be okay. He was so hard like But don't be for so Without put myself in Whole it's gonna cover up the whole three cuz I'm gonna say me All right, that's not a bad answer So, um, what's something that you regret now in career or something? Could have done better Really feel like I regret nothing as far as like my career as far as awesome rap Like I know I can't say I really no regrets. Yeah, like you you made every decision thoroughly Now I feel like I made it every decision thoroughly, but I learned from them shit. So It was a lesson learned. I ain't took a loss from it. So it was a lesson learned Okay, so how difficult is it is it difficult being a CEO in artists? Now I wouldn't say it's difficult because I think it's really it's really like better cuz like I Can connect with them on a different level because I'm an artist too versus what the fuck a CEO or just an executive person. Yeah, all they care about it. Hey It's the music selling like that's just selling but I can connect with them in different way because I'm a artist too So and I came from being independent and coming up like from the bottom and having to learn that shit taking losses And keep going having to fight with myself like down. I want to stop. I want to keep going want to stop So it's like so you definitely super hands on with your artist. Yeah. Yeah so um what like you guys do artists development or just having them on road with you or Just the whole experience in itself Shit, they probably tell you like I am the artist development I'll be on anything I hear like that. I don't be in agreement. I'm gonna say something about it Whether and they gonna say something how they feel back. So you have a good communication Yeah, so a lot of us complain that you know labels not in tune or don't really connect with them So you definitely tune all your artists. That's good. So um, do you have like any upcoming features on the way or any? We should be expecting I'm about to drop we just dropped the walk down game. That's out right now Me fat Eli, we just got that make sure you go get that But yeah to pop videos is job See you tuned in I like that So that's what I'm saying. How does the video process go be out playing our job videos? Have a director or step with y'all. Yeah, we're playing out that video My brother was already going out that he had a little freak he was with so I was like I'm come out there with you And we're gonna shoot a video. We're gonna why we're gonna work while we're going out there So we went out there and um, but that video it was a hundred and twenty degrees Like in the desert that shit was crazy. So you would never shoot in the desert again. No Not around this time Right now this time maybe the winter time Maybe I still a part of the hesitant about doing that shit That's it with Christ. So what some advice you would give upcoming artists That's probably want to do your same shoes be a CEO and still be an artist and managing label Like what some advice you would give them like some tips? Just whatever whatever goal you got whatever you believe in like Just do it like it's up to you. Nobody can't tell you what they what you can do what ain't work for them Yeah, it may work for you and you just gotta not be scared to invest in traveling like just Think outside the box sometime. So think outside the box very much. So, yeah Yeah, I feel like the music again again kind of saturate now For so we got like do something differently. So what's next for you? That's your artist coming got your songs coming any projects You're gonna drop a collab project I'm a I'm a drop I'm a drop album next But in the midst of me dropping who knows you might just still drop Eli fat low autumn, but Yeah Like right now we're just working on just trying to get their face You know I'm saying build them up some more so when they drop to really make sense But it's it in we still gonna be dropping like singles after singles Yeah, but as far as a project like We ain't gonna really rush that too much because we got to build that up.
