00:29:27: You know what I'm saying?

00:29:28: Because most people don't be feeling like it makes sense.

00:30:33: so I don't feel like it's giving away the music.

00:30:36: I feel like the more content you got out there, the more they can click on.

00:30:39: So the

00:30:40: more you in their face,

00:30:41: you know what I'm saying?

00:30:41: So I'm

00:30:42: one of them,

00:30:43: you know, like, I be wanting to drop two, three songs every week, every day on the cool.

00:30:49: Like, you know, I got so much music, but yeah, I love the mixtape.

00:30:54: Every much miss.

00:30:56: Can we expect maybe a A mixtape from you like one of those days, you know, like kind of like a compilation of all the work that you've been doing, you know, for so the people can listen to the new shit, listen to the unreleased shit too.

00:31:08: I see where they at on what you need to do for as far as singles and albums.

00:31:12: You'll see like what they rocking with, like what kind of flag you need to go with.

00:31:17: Yeah, man.

00:31:18: So you work a whole.

00:31:19: like you say you could drop like two, three songs a day.

00:31:21: That's super dope, man.

00:31:23: Hey, honestly, one day I went to the studio.

00:31:26: I was in the studio probably like three and a half hours.

00:31:31: I recorded like eight songs.

00:31:34: Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:31:35: So it depends on how I'm feeling.

00:31:37: But I write a lot.

00:31:39: So I already be having a lot of music in my phone that I can record, but it depends on really how I'm feeling.

00:31:43: I can put you in too.

00:31:45: I do the freestyle or no more, but I can put you in too though.

00:31:49: okay dope dope.

00:31:50: and especially right now you know in twenty twenty five you always gotta be active.

00:31:55: you know like super active be active every week drop something or people will forget about you

00:32:00: man telling you the world they dumb down right now they ain't got.

00:32:04: no the attention span so short.

00:32:07: yeah and how do you how do you handle that pressure?

00:32:10: you know like to to be able to you know release songs all the time.

00:32:14: it's you know mentally sometimes it's uh It's a lot of pressure.

00:32:17: How do you handle that?

00:32:21: I be mad because I can't release like that.

00:32:23: Because my team don't be advising

00:32:25: on it.

00:32:25: So

00:32:25: I be mad.

00:32:26: Because I like to drop.

00:32:29: Because I know that.

00:32:30: I know that you gotta stay in their face with something fresh.

00:32:33: The song you dropped last week don't mean nothing to them this week.

00:32:36: Unless you drop something else this week.

00:32:38: You know

00:32:38: what I'm saying?

00:32:39: Then they'll stay on that too.

00:32:41: But then they'll completely lose a fan base waiting on single to single.

00:32:45: You know what I'm saying?

00:32:46: Yup, yup, yup.

00:32:48: And are you planning on working on a full length album or something like that?

00:33:14: It's just be on the team.

00:33:16: I'll be trying to see where we got going.

00:33:18: You know what I'm saying?

00:33:18: Like, I try to, for the most part, follow the protocol, but at the same time, I'm an A-wree, so I'm more heated.

00:33:25: No doubt.

00:33:26: I might make a picture on my phone and just drop something.

00:33:29: Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:33:31: Baby, I'm more heated.

00:33:33: Yeah, because you're passionate about music, too.

00:33:35: Dedicated about your craft, man.

00:33:37: So I understand that.

00:33:38: One hundred percent, bro.

00:33:56: All I know is I was a little kid and I could rap.

00:33:59: You know what I'm saying?

00:34:01: I can't even remember when I learned how to rap.

00:34:04: Nothing like that.

00:34:05: But all I know is I was a little kid and I could go up in my house and beat on the table.

00:34:10: and be loud as hell.

00:34:11: if my grinning them won't be telling me shut up they'll be urging it on cause it's like it's sad and I write you know they liking it so like.

00:34:18: that's what really I don't know.

00:34:19: that's what I guess I was born with it or whatever.

00:34:22: but what made me take it serious was like you know life situations went to prison you know trying to stay out the way.

00:34:29: that's what really made me take it serious like yeah that's what really made me take it serious.

00:34:35: that's good man trying you Bring positive vibes into your life and do something, you know, creative that can touch people, you know, across the globe, bro.

00:34:43: Definitely trying to break that cycle.

00:34:47: Now, yeah, you know, I'm out there in France, man, you know, across the globe, man.

00:34:52: And what do you think about like the European hip hop scene?

00:34:56: Oh, I'm

00:34:57: not too really, I'm not really too tapped in on it, but I like, I like our music.

00:35:02: Like I do, I write from country, pop, rock.

00:35:07: The deep hip hop, the contemporary.

00:35:11: I do all kind of music.

00:35:14: So I like everything.

00:35:15: You know what I'm saying?

00:35:16: I don't really know who is a European artist, but I like everything.

00:35:23: No doubt.

00:35:23: I'll send you some stuff so you can hear, bro.

00:35:26: You know what I'm saying?

00:35:28: You might catch some vibes that you like.

00:35:30: that might inspire you to do something, man.

00:35:33: I like everything, though.

00:35:35: I even like that.

00:35:36: We can go band for band.

00:35:38: We can go here, I like

00:35:41: that.

00:35:41: Yeah, that's them guys in the UK.

00:35:46: They changed the game a little bit.

00:35:48: They brought something new in terms of instrumentals, in terms of flow, subjects.

00:35:55: I like what they did with the drill music.

00:35:58: Sadly, sadly, sometimes the message is a little too crazy and it might lead to some bad shit.

00:36:05: But musically, it's definitely interesting.

00:36:09: Yeah, most definitely.

00:36:12: Yeah, they

00:36:14: be talking and talking.

00:36:16: Yeah, man.

00:36:18: And to you, I know you're still young, bro.

00:36:20: But what do you think is the key to longevity in hip hop?

00:36:24: Consistency.

00:36:30: I feel like, you know, consistency.

00:36:31: You got to keep my own dropping.

00:36:34: I feel like I don't feel like I drop enough.

00:36:36: I really, I don't, I don't.

00:36:38: Like, it's not that I don't feel like it.

00:36:40: I don't drop enough.

00:36:40: You know what I'm saying?

00:36:44: Like, I used to go drop some and within a couple of hours it'll get the views that I get in a month now.

00:36:49: You know what I'm saying?

00:36:50: Like, I don't know.

00:36:53: I lit up.

00:36:53: I really lit up a whole lot because how dumb down the scene got.

00:36:58: You know, how dumb down music got it.

00:36:59: So, most of the music on the radio right now, I'm gonna say, eighty-five percent of the music on the radio.

00:37:09: When we was growing up you would have never thought that nobody would even made it.

00:37:13: Would have made that kind of music.

00:37:14: Like you'd be like, what the fuck?

00:37:18: Like you know what I'm saying?

00:37:19: Like you'd be like, man, how?

00:37:21: And you know, it's just like, it's the stuff the people on right now, the fans so stupid.

00:37:28: You know, like I don't want to call them there, but the fans dumb.

00:37:31: Like I seen yesterday where somebody just had a piece of... A piece of soap or something sitting on a calculator, picked up the soap off the calculator, and that's it on the video.

00:37:49: And this video got millions of views.

00:37:50: I'm

00:37:50: like, man, you know, it's that new TikTok generation, man.

00:37:56: Like, you know, some shit you just don't understand.

00:37:59: You see a million views on it.

00:38:00: You be like, why is this shit got so many views?

00:38:03: They really, if that's the case, they in our business.

00:38:07: Yeah, yeah,

00:38:07: yeah,

00:38:08: yeah, man.

00:38:09: And you know, I think people with real talent and they have something to propose to the audience.

00:38:16: They should have the millions of views instead of those guys, you know?

00:38:20: Real talent don't work no more.

00:38:22: You know, like that's after-picture real talent.

00:38:24: Like it's mostly, it's mostly how many names you can drop

00:38:31: and what you

00:38:32: willing to pay.

00:38:33: Like that's mostly what... right now the fans don't give a damn.

00:38:37: as long as you paying some bloggers and paying some DJs and they hand your name they on you.

00:38:43: you know what I'm saying.

00:38:43: like.

00:38:45: I mean you do have those few fans that stick to you and it's been there since day one like there's gonna always be one hundred inside it because they like real music.

00:38:54: but it's a lot of people that's adapting to the dumb ass music even even grown older people it's fifty sixty year olds going around doing a little like

00:39:07: Yeah, man, it's crazy.

00:39:08: It's crazy, bro.

00:39:09: Well, you know, it's that new generation, man, but we got to stay creative.

00:39:13: But like you said, you know, even back then, you know, the nineties, people say that was like, ninety percent skills.

00:39:20: It was.

00:39:20: It

00:39:22: was ten percent business back then.

00:39:23: Ninety percent business, ten percent skill.

00:39:26: Yep.

00:39:27: Yep.

00:39:28: Definitely change, man.

00:39:29: But that's good that you're actually aware of that, you know, and you told me that, you know, you rock with different types of music.

00:39:37: Have you ever told about like doing songwriting for people on the side?

00:39:42: I don't doubt about it, but ain't really nobody's just tapped in with me like that, like, you know, as far as about that.

00:39:47: I wrote for

00:39:48: a couple of people,

00:39:49: you know what I'm saying?

00:39:50: But I can't just, I can't just, you know, say,

00:39:53: but

00:39:53: I wrote for a couple of people, you know.

00:39:57: But I ain't nobody just really tapped in with me like that, but I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure eventually somebody gonna tap in People pride to be right now and then right now you ain't got to say too much.

00:40:07: You just say some dumb shit and

00:40:08: go viral.

00:40:18: How do you stay motivated?

00:40:20: When you see bullshit like that on the internet, getting millions of views, how do you keep the motivation to go hard and stay working on your music?

00:40:29: I just genuinely like music.

00:40:31: And it's always been something for me to vent.

00:40:33: You know what I'm saying?

00:40:34: So I'm gonna do

00:40:35: music

00:40:35: regardless of if I'm gonna do it on a big level or just do it for myself.

00:40:39: You know what I'm saying?

00:40:39: I'm gonna always record some music.

00:40:41: I don't know if it's something I like to do.

00:40:44: You know what I'm saying?

00:40:46: I do music really for me.

00:40:48: And then if somebody like it, they like it.

00:40:51: Yep.

00:40:52: I think that's one of the keys, man.

00:40:53: You gotta, you know, have pleasure, you know, in doing your music and believing in yourself before trying to, you know, like trying to get the people's attention.

00:41:03: At first of all, I think you gotta make something that you like, you know, that comes from your art, man.

00:41:08: Right, right, right.

00:41:10: Right, right, right.

00:41:11: Those people feel like.

00:41:13: a lot of people feel like I haven't found my sound yet.

00:41:16: but I don't really have a sound.

00:41:20: I do like, I'm one of them tri-artists.

00:41:23: I just go

00:41:24: in the booth with a beat that I ain't never, this kind of beat and just try something, make up a style or flow that I ain't never done.

00:41:32: You know what I'm saying?

00:41:32: That I ain't never heard.

00:41:34: So, I don't know.

00:41:37: I just have fun with it.

00:41:39: I

00:41:40: think it's one of the hardest things, man, for an artist, especially a young artist like you, to find your sound.

00:41:47: And sometimes, you know, it takes years to accomplish that, but once you've found it, you just gotta stay in your lane and focus on that.

00:41:55: I got a certain sound on certain type of beats.

00:41:58: Like, if I'm on a Detroit beat, I sound a certain way.

00:42:00: If I'm on a beat, it's... Damn self, I sound a certain way.

00:42:04: If I'm on a New York beat, I sound a certain way.

00:42:06: If it's R&B, I'm gonna sound a certain way.

00:42:08: You know what I'm saying?

00:42:09: So I got a sound, I got an identity.

00:42:13: It's not a smile box, like what they expect from new artists now.

00:42:17: It's not a smile box type of category that I'm in.

00:42:20: It's a broader horizon than what people looking at.

00:42:24: You know what

00:42:24: I'm saying?

00:42:26: And if for the people that are listening in there like if you if you could define yourself Define your sounds in a few words like what could you say?

00:42:35: I don't even think I could define it in a few words though cuz I be confused.

00:42:45: Okay,

00:42:46: like I'm gonna say.

00:42:50: I'm gonna say energetic

00:42:51: I'm

00:42:53: gonna say different.

00:42:59: That's what I heard, you know when I when I played your your single on the show watch.

00:43:03: I want to.

00:43:04: that's the energy that caught my ears, you know

00:43:07: Wait some substance.

00:43:08: I'm always gonna talk about something.

00:43:09: I'm not just gonna rap and put a bunch of words together that sound good and round.

00:43:16: So I'm gonna say substance energy and I'm different.

00:43:23: It's dope.

00:43:24: You gotta be different, you know, it's so many hardest out there.

00:43:28: I'm weird.

00:43:33: Yeah, we all are, man.

00:43:37: Very much so.

00:43:37: I'm weird.

00:43:38: I'm a weirdo.

00:43:40: Well, I think, you know, every people that makes music is kind of some type of weirdo, bro.

00:43:45: You know, it's like that.

00:43:46: We're different, you know?

00:43:52: And I know you're still young, man.

00:43:54: But so far, like, what has been the biggest challenge in your career?

00:43:59: Challenge is for his work.

00:44:02: I mean, like, you know, the obstacles in life, you know, to, before you accomplish your goals, you know, like, you know what I'm saying?

00:44:08: You know what I'm talking about?

00:44:11: Like, obstacles to get to

00:44:13: it?

00:44:13: Yeah, I mean, in life in general.

00:44:17: You know how it is in the music industry, you gonna, like, like, it's like you meet brackets of people as you're going up, you know what I'm saying?

00:44:24: I don't know how to break, y'all know how to break that down.

00:44:26: When you at a certain level, you first come in, you meet a bunch of the rats and the roaches.

00:44:32: You come up a little bitch, you start meeting snakes, the people who want money, money, money, money, money.

00:44:37: You grow, you get bigger

00:44:38: than that, you start meeting

00:44:39: the lions, and then they really want you to eat because they want to eat.

00:44:42: You know what I'm saying?

00:44:43: They're like, it's levels to it.

00:44:47: You start off at the bottom, with the bottom feeders, the rats and the roaches.

00:44:51: You know what I'm saying?

00:44:52: come up to the snakes, you know, to eat the rats, and then you come up to lions, you know, tigers and burrows and shit like that, you know,

00:45:02: vampire.

00:45:03: Oh, yeah.

00:45:03: And how do you navigate through all that?

00:45:05: Like navigate through the sharks, man.

00:45:08: I mean, we don't hit a bunch of real roads where we took some

00:45:15: lousings,

00:45:16: dealing with certain situations, but for the most part, if my word is listened to, and my team would tell you this, If my word is the word that you take first, we not gonna hit that, we not gonna hit that wow.

00:45:28: But most of the time it's not on me, cause I'm not the financial, you know, manager, you know what I'm saying?

00:45:34: So I don't, I don't, I don't make the financial decisions, but I got an input on them, but I don't make those decisions.

00:45:41: You know, I just either agree to it at the end.

00:45:43: Sometimes I'm not gonna lie, I'm a asshole.

00:45:46: So sometimes I agree to see just to show them that they shouldn't have came back to me with it.

00:45:51: You know what I'm saying?

00:45:52: I'm gonna ask, I'm really part of the reason that I ain't the superstar yet.

00:45:55: Yeah,

00:45:58: man, but you know, you're working on it, man.

00:46:00: And I like the music that I heard, you know, like I told you, man.

00:46:03: And I think I'm ready to hear a full-length project, you know, but I think, you know, dropping singles, it's cool.

00:46:11: But, you know, when I check out a new artist, I like to have like a full body of work, you know what I mean?

00:46:17: Like too

00:46:18: crazy.

00:46:19: I got a couple projects that I dropped, like what they owed them.

00:46:22: Like, so, you know what I'm saying?

00:46:23: But I got so much music, they're like, so, so much music.

00:46:28: So, like, man, it's crazy.

00:46:31: Like, it's crazy.

00:46:33: Any moment now that, like, as soon as we finish with this situation we working on right now, we get this situation done.

00:46:39: I'm gonna try to immediately give a full link project.

00:46:43: Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:46:44: Like, immediately.

00:46:45: Nice, nice.

00:46:46: Well, I'll be here, you know, to listen to me and give you my feedback for sure, bro.

00:46:51: I'm

00:46:51: like, I already know what my next single that I want to push is.

00:46:54: I want to push that now.

00:46:55: Why y'all pushing this one?

00:46:56: Like, I'll just be one.

00:46:58: But my team want to push this one for a little while.

00:47:00: This one probably better about a week.

00:47:03: You know?

00:47:04: Yeah.

00:47:06: Yeah, yeah.

00:47:06: You working a lot.

00:47:07: And what can we expect from you, like, for the rest of the year after that?

00:47:15: Oh.

00:47:15: I'm trying to drop some more music, some more videos.

00:47:18: I'm trying to solidify this deal.

00:47:20: Once I lock this deal in, it's up.

00:47:21: I know I'm telling them what we're going to do.

00:47:27: My manager, Black Silver, and Tatch, they working, they trying to get some shows booked in.

00:47:35: Some situations, but we don't be filing for the dummy situations.

00:47:39: I'm all the way to California for

00:47:44: the five hundred.

00:47:44: I will file for that.

00:47:47: So the pool is smaller, you know the pool a little bit smaller because I'm not a big artist, but at the same time I'm not gonna get low ball.

00:47:55: Show me.

00:47:55: you got and you know, believe in yourself man and get your money.

00:47:59: I know, you know, especially nowadays Traveling and all that that cost money.

00:48:03: You got a

00:48:04: lot to like this.

00:48:05: the crazy thing And anybody who ever seen me perform can tell you this I'm probably a better performer than ninety percent of the superstars.

00:48:15: Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:48:15: Like, I really perform.

00:48:16: I don't just stand in one spot and rap.

00:48:18: I really rap my music.

00:48:20: I don't mouth.

00:48:21: I don't just move my mouth.

00:48:22: I know all my words.

00:48:24: Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:48:25: I like when the DJ cut the beat and let me be heard.

00:48:28: I like, you know what I'm saying?

00:48:28: I really give a show.

00:48:29: So, like, I don't know.

00:48:31: I don't get, I don't get what it is with me.

00:48:33: But, you know, it's always, you just gotta wait till it's turned, you know?

00:48:38: Yeah, what is it like somebody in your entourage that introduced you to hip-hop culture?

00:48:44: Because you know, like you said, man, if you know how to rock a stage and all that, that's the basics of an MC right there.

00:48:51: You know what I'm saying?

00:48:52: That's being a real MC.

00:48:54: I

00:48:55: ain't in for this.

00:48:56: I don't do rehearsals.

00:48:58: None of that.

00:48:59: I just go with my moves.

00:49:02: Oh, yeah.

00:49:04: I think it's in your blood, man.

00:49:07: You know, because I've seen a lot of MCs, they actually, they do good music, but on stage, they're not moving.

00:49:13: My daughter

00:49:15: hard.

00:49:17: My daughter the hardest female Dallas rapper.

00:49:19: I would be one of them.

00:49:20: My daughter.

00:49:24: That's dope.

00:49:25: What's her name?

00:49:26: She does music?

00:49:27: Like, can we hear something on the internet?

00:49:29: Yeah, she got some music on YouTube.

00:49:31: Le Peaches Wire is.

00:49:32: It's here at A.A.

00:49:38: So I'll check that out.

00:49:39: I'll check that

00:49:40: out.

00:49:41: I'll check that out.

00:49:42: She just dropped something so it should be on our platform.

00:49:45: Okay.

00:49:46: And tell the people man because you're in Dallas man how's the hip-hop scene out there and how do you manage to get your name out out there?

00:49:54: Is it like different from other parts of the States?

00:49:57: Dallas.

00:50:00: at first I used to pay a lot of attention to trying to Get Dallas on like behind me and on the bandwagon with me, you know, but like over the time you see that Dallas is like Dallas really a crab in a bucket city like like they.

00:50:19: They try to pull you down and try to keep you from making it until you make it and then they want to piggyback Like or they want to.

00:50:25: I know him I be cool with him But this was a lot of people don't understand the people who know you like and been knowing you all your life seeing you grow up.

00:50:34: A lot of them don't feel like you deserve, like, you know what I'm saying?

00:50:37: Nothing bigger than what they got going on.

00:50:39: Because you can't, from what they came from, you know what I'm saying?

00:50:41: Like, they might feel like, oh, he didn't do shit in school.

00:50:44: Or he was in, you know what I'm saying?

00:50:46: Like, and they feel like they went the extra mile in school.

00:50:50: And so they feel like that they're supposed to get the extra benefits in life.

00:50:54: So they don't feel like you deserve, like, you know, certain situations for your life because you came from where they came from.

00:51:00: So.

00:51:01: Okay.

00:51:01: I don't know.

00:51:02: I feel like your city be the last person, the last people that ride.

00:51:05: It just look like they've been riding the whole time once you blow up because they act like it.

00:51:10: Okay.

00:51:12: It's weird because you know, it's so much, there's so many differences with a city like Dallas and Houston, which is in the same state of Texas.

00:51:21: Houston gonna show that they ride

00:51:23: with you

00:51:24: until you get beat.

00:51:25: Then they gonna start hating.

00:51:27: Okay.

00:51:29: On their own city.

00:51:30: Then they start hating.

00:51:31: Dallas hate the first, and then once you get big, oh, I been listening to him.

00:51:35: Oh, why you didn't say nobody?

00:51:38: Why you didn't put my songs on your live video?

00:51:40: Why you didn't do the TikToks to my, you know what I'm saying?

00:51:45: Like, I don't know.

00:51:46: It's weird, but I done adapted to it, so I get it.

00:51:50: But when people feel

00:51:51: like, oh, they don't

00:51:52: want to do no verses for nobody, whoa, whoa, it's because how y'all act?

00:51:55: I don't want to fuck with y'all, how y'all fuck with me?

00:51:58: Oh yeah, that's crazy man, that's crazy.

00:52:00: I remember the dude from Dallas was Doro Music, if I'm not mistaken.

00:52:07: I know Doro

00:52:07: personally,

00:52:08: we were supposed to do a song and everything.

00:52:10: I don't know what happened with that.

00:52:12: I think somebody got in the way of that, but it wasn't him.

00:52:15: It wasn't him cause we cool, but I think somebody kind of got in the way of that.

00:52:19: Okay, okay.

00:52:21: I remember like, yeah, ten or fifteen years ago, he was like the big name out there in Dallas.

00:52:25: You remember when Doro got the key to the city?

00:52:29: You remember the artist that was next to him with the red dress?

00:52:31: That was

00:52:31: me.

00:52:32: Oh, okay.

00:52:33: Okay,

00:52:36: dope.

00:52:36: He got the key to the city.

00:52:38: Nice.

00:52:38: Nice.

00:52:39: Like somebody got in the way of like the situation we were from the.

00:52:43: we were from the drop of sound, but somebody got in the way of it.

00:52:45: So, you know, that's that.

00:52:48: Yeah, it is what it is, man.

00:52:49: Maybe, you know, next time you'll be able to, you know, get something done with him.

00:52:54: And if not, you know, that's cool, man.

00:52:55: You know, just do your thing on your home.

00:52:57: It's cool.

00:53:01: Yeah, it's nothing wrong.

00:53:02: It's just a question of timing.

00:53:04: You know, sometimes the timing is not right.

00:53:07: It's like that, you know.

00:53:09: And I know you're, like I said, you're a young MC, man.

00:53:13: But maybe we have some younger MCs listening to this interview right now.

00:53:19: And what could you say to the ones that are trying to pursue this music dream?

00:53:24: Man, don't sign no paperwork.

00:53:31: Don't sign no paperwork until you fully understand it.

00:53:36: And it makes sense to you.

00:53:39: Stay consistent.

00:53:41: Don't let nobody tell you not to drop.

00:53:43: You dropping too much.

00:53:44: None of that.

00:53:45: Stay consistent.

00:53:46: I lit up and lost a lot of fans.

00:53:47: I'm gonna be one hundred.

00:53:51: Just stay true to you.

00:53:55: Just stay true to yourself.

00:53:57: And fuck everybody who don't understand you.

00:54:01: I don't want to understand you.

00:54:03: I ain't gonna say if they don't understand, you know, if they don't even want to try to understand, fuck them.

00:54:10: Fuck the group.

00:54:11: You know what I'm saying?

00:54:13: Yeah, man, I agree with you.

00:54:15: You know, sometimes, you know, you're not supposed to take the other people's advice because some people may be talking shit.

00:54:21: I mean, there are some people that'll give you some jewels out there, give you the knowledge, but I think if you really want to make it, you know, you gotta believe in yourself and just follow that lane.

00:54:31: You know what I'm saying?

00:54:32: Don't listen to people.

00:54:33: follow that lane and do your

00:54:35: thing.

00:54:36: When they line to you, the information gonna come south.

00:54:39: You know what I'm saying?

00:54:40: Oh man, you can do this.

00:54:41: It's gonna come real south.

00:54:43: Because it's a finesse.

00:54:45: When they telling you the truth, it's gonna sound harsh.

00:54:48: It's gonna sound like they trying to handle you.

00:54:50: But them, the ones who really giving you the juice, the juice sound hard.

00:54:54: You know what I'm saying?

00:54:55: But pressure, pressure make diamonds.

00:54:56: You know what I'm saying?

00:54:57: So the juice sound hard.

00:54:59: But... The people tend to listen to what come gentle and you know, that'd be the finesse, you know finesse, finesse ain't

00:55:10: never been hard.

00:55:12: Yup, I agree with you man.

00:55:13: Sometimes it's gotta be hard on you.

00:55:15: so you can, you know, think about this stuff, you know, think about it one time, two times, three times, rethink and maybe it's gonna help you to get to that next level.

00:55:26: Definitely.
