where did you just come from from tour. I'mma move this down on you were touch. uh where we just come from Louisville. Kentucky oh yeah yes sir how was that. all right yeah it was it was good it was. good man I didn't think what was it so. out. no but they was it was. packed 95% yeah it was crazy though they. got a lot of horses up there too um.
I've been to the horse track up there. yeah I was just going to say don't they. do like deres and stuff yeah it's nice. some of the horses are strong some of. them aren't that strong. um what else has been going on yeah I. was just up in Montana we had some shows. up there met some Native Americans up. there okay you ever met any Native. Americans like a real life one no I. don't think so I don't think so we met a. couple up there they're pretty cool man. we was up at. uh I met we were at Auto Zone up there. and had a couple Native Americans up.
there and we met them and. uh yeah they're they're just wild and. they try to they have a lot of good weed. too A lot of times oh okay then yeah I. probably would have bumped into a few if. I but I heard this beautiful out there. shabuza that's one of my close friends. and he was just out there shooting a. video and he was like bro I think I'm. going to move out here it's crazy out. here so nice I got I got to make sure I. stop by there for sure yeah it looks. like you're like on another like I mean. it looks like you're on this planet but. on it just like on the best parts of it.
you look out there and they got all kind. of exotic animals too out there that's. why I think yeah yeah Native Americans. have the best weed I've always heard. that i' never gotten to smoke any with. them they got that [ __ ] that'll bring. your dead relatives back you know they. got that real they got that suay your. gas do I do I want to smoke that good. point bring your dead real back that you. want to smoke that that's true I mean I. guess if you owe somebody some money. maybe you just let them be where they're. at yeah not for sure and they had the. best pets too think about it Native.
Americans had the best pets man. Falcon um. Buffalo Eagles I'm scared of all that. all that type of stuff really I'm scared. of any animal that's for one bigger than. me so like horses cows I'm terrified. them yeah that makes sense and then just. Eagles and all that stuff like you can't. really do nothing about those so if they. fly down and grab you and rip skin off. you can't do nothing to them can't so. yeah know I I don't do bugs I don't do.
exotic lizards I don't do snakes I don't. really I could see you with a nice bird. man with a bird yeah I do have a bird my. daughter's name her nickname is bird so. that's as good as again I was terrified. right there oh wow yeah I was Terri you. far away on am from nor oh it is yeah. yeah you kept your. distance wow did you even FaceTime with. that thing first or they just brought. him straight up they just they just. brought it they just brought it yeah. that kind of stuff is a lot man horses. make me nervous too they're just so big.
and you don't trust them you know. exactly and I don't trust anything that. only can see out of the side of its head. that too that too you know that's how I. really feel about a lot of animals but. did you ever have any pets growing up uh. yeah a lot of dogs lot of dogs what kind. of y'all have R wallers right now I have. a k Coro I have two pocket bullies got a. Frenchie but just yeah yeah yeah that. actually looks just like my dog Sasha. that's at the house right now with the. white patches and everything.
and does yall have a chain on it no no. she's she's horrible she's bad so really. yeah yeah can you even pet her or. nothing yeah no you can pet her or what. not but she just if she don't know you. she going to go crazy oh God but once. you once she smell you and she good and. you locked in I don't wouldn't even risk. it see I get scared getting high around. dangerous animals that's one of my big. things you know I would have sometimes. trouble smoking with the brothers when I. was young because a lot of them would. bring a dog with them.
no and if we got high it was just made. me too nervous man I had to get out of. my own car and leave everybody in there. one time damn cuz I couldn't handle it. well you might want to stay away from. that weed in. [Music]. Mont yeah I stay off that native stuff. man um thank you so much for joining us. bro for sure I'm it's a blessing to be. here yeah congratulations on all your. success man sir appreciate it's exciting. yeah I love listening your your songs. like the they all have this beginning. that kind of creates this like it almost.
feels like it's a start of a movie it's. like before like you come in with um the. lyrics it's like there's. this each one has like this Ambiance. that gets going who makes that how do. y'all make that choice like how does. that happen uh man I just I've been with. the same producers for about two three. years now B playay uh Tony Co and so we. kind of just know each other's like. Souls at this point and so they just you. know they go based off of what what. they'll feel like I I would mess with in.
a song and then they go from there Tony. pick out the sample Man play do the the. 808 all the beatings on it and it just. just go they know I like I'm a buildup. person so that little that beginning. that's that's my build up yeah almost. feel kind of romantic in the beginning. some of them not for sure get you in the. mood get you ready and make you want to. hear what I'm about to say so the video. with the uh skydiving did y'all really. skydive in it no I would never skydive. in my life really oh you bung.
jump I'm one of those people who believe. in like I just feel like I would have a. heart attack before I got you know I. would faint or something so now I can't. pull my stream so I just rather not do. it I rather not do it yeah yeah yeah I. don't know why some people do it I. wonder if they have a lot of yeah the. video that was so tough man how did. y'all shoot it though did you guys have. like a fake Chopper or something a fake. a fake plane a lot of air and great. actor yeah anybody want me in the movie.
there you go yeah you could be in like a. paratrooper movie man for sure um and it. don't look like I feel that fast it. actually like I feel at a at a decent. rate there go there went I I Dro fast. right there it did seem like you that. cuz I was kind of when I was watching. back cuz usually if people are really. flying you see like the cheeks going. like that and I was like man it seemed. like he's kind of going at a casual. speed but that's when you know you got. when you got a Vibe bro when you can. Skydive at a c casual speed yeah yeah.
when you can do it your own way yeah um. what's happening in Texas. man uh still. hot. uh how has your life changed over there. like even in the past two years. probably I mean for me it hasn't really. changed I still do the same daily stuff. I would do if I was home but of course. it's everybody know me now so now. instead of going to Walmart I now have. to curbside pickups now you know stuff.
like that but as far as me and my home. and my family ain't nothing really. changed we still everybody kick it when. we can you know if not I'm at home with. my kids chilling you know nothing too. major I don't I'm as basic as it get I. you know I don't treat myself like a. superstar or nothing like that so is it. does it feel overwhelming sometimes with. people knowing you as much is it. sometimes a little bit like what is it. like does it feel kind of like alarming. sometimes does it feel like what you.
thought it would feel like cuz it's a. lot of people don't get to become get to. have that much popularity right it just. so it's interesting when it does happen. to somebody because it's just a rare. thing yeah right I mean I mean as far as. like I was popular in school but then. it's like after that era faded out I. started doing stuff that it's like you. kind of don't want people to to know. like to know who you are and now it's. like I got to let people get this close. to me before I know if they're friend. the four so of course it bothered me but.
I mean it come with the come with the. job so yeah I just got to keep big guys. like him around me so yes sir yeah yeah. that's a good choice there and um and. yeah is it more dangerous because I. think like it's funny sometimes if. you're just like a regular guy nobody. will try to shoot you but then when. you're a rapper people try to shoot you. yeah yeah you you definitely and I it's. just a lot of you know just like it's. God in the world it's devil you know.
it's the devil too and you know the path. that some people decide to take is not. always the right one so you know you. just got to kind of be prepared for it. yeah you're a Target because everybody. feel like you got all this money all of. this with people don't even know like so. a lot of these major artists all they. have is that chain and that watch I. don't got no money you know so you just. did what you did for a chain and a watch. me I try to treat everybody as equal so. like when person walk up on me I'mma.
give you that picture I'm going talk to. you as if you're a normal person cuz. that's what makes somebody want to get. you when you no I'm good I you know. that's what set when you when you show. them that separation that's when they. want what you got when you're too fancy. yeah exactly exactly for rappers it just. feels like d it just feels a little bit. more dangerous I feel like you know like. do you have to keep like a EMT with like. like do your people know CPR in your. team and stuff like that or what is it. like.
uh I ain't gonna lie fellas if I if we. get to that point don't y put y' lips on. me don't y'all put y'all lips on me. y'all find the nearest woman and y'all. teach y'all teach her how to do it but. don't y'all put y'all lips on me you. have some girl sitting there watching a. YouTube video yeah yeah I can't no I. can't go through that so bro you ain't. GNA feel it bro you goingon to be just. but when I come to that's a question you. got to ask you know when you come to and. you say what happened there's there's.
going to be that guy that's in the back. of the room like you know and I want to. deal with that yeah that's true you GNA. have to look him in the you got you have. to and you don't you don't know whether. to say thank you or let's fight you know. hey chill bro exactly exactly hey next. time ask first and then my my partner is. so funny that they ain't going to do. nothing make a joke about it I almost. died and y'all talking about but y'all. kiss though y'all kiss you know so you. alive but you a little zested now just. find a near woman find the nearest woman.
for me I don't care how old she is just. find the nearest woman. please yeah that's what I just wonder I. think I would keep if I was a rapper I. would have somebody bow and arrows. somebody with a couple uh choppers on. them everything Draco everything guns. [ __ ] um little ninja thing yeah. [ __ ] H bro magic metal [ __ ] ninja. stars all of that [ __ ] boy I mean you. just you know you just pray for the b x.
I would have everything bro I'd have. somebody just walking around look like. they were in one of those video games. where they have all the weapons behind. them like that like when they get ready. to go to war they pack all of the. weapons but then they don't use none of. them yeah I know even cops now they got. so many things on them they got a taser. they got a gun they got a a slingshot. they got a uh pepper spray they got a. [ __ ] you know a thing of marbles they. got all kind of [ __ ] on them bro you'll. see they got a I've never seen an. officer with a bag of marbles but they. got they got so many things now bro he.
got a camera he they got a little. spatula um you know a thing of Just. Breath man dude he's just shooting. Mentos at people you know they got I. don't even I could even imagine running. around with all that stuff on me now. yeah man yeah they do they got to chase. people there and a lot of yeah that's. crazy on top of the V that's already. yeah they're built like a 7-Eleven and. they got to run around and chase. everybody down it's too much everybody. would get away from me if I. was I'll catch you eventually you know. hey I'll catch you in the future yeah.
yeah now let me see you again cuz I. could I wouldn't you know did you uh. what was like a first job that you had. man my first ever job was Taco cab I was. 16 I was getting paid seven I was. supposed to get paid 725 but when I. started working my first day he said 725. no you're too good of a worker I pay you. 750 really and I just thought I was that. guy. 750 that my first ever check my first. first check was like $200 two weeks work.
bro when you got that first check it was. nice huh no I was so upset it was like. $2 $300 oh two weeks of work yeah I was. so mad but I kept going I kept going and. how long were you in over there at the. at the Cabana maybe like a month May. month and a half damn you didn't keep. going at all I've never had a I've never. had a drive over four or five months. really what was it about it you think. did you'all have some like was it uh. contractual issues what was the deal of. it as bad as it sounds it's just.
something about somebody telling me what. to do you know what I'm saying. especially in that aspect it's like. you're not even the big dog you you work. for them just like I work for them and. you sitting here telling me what to do. exactly I just always feel like I. watched my mom and my pops growing up. they was all they entrepreneurs so they. you know they was their own bosses and. here I am working at Taco cab getting. paid 750 when I would rather be my own. yeah so I think that's probably me.
having that first job is probably what. made me start wanting to do stuff to. just be my own entity My Own Boss. because that was horrible having. somebody telling you when to come in. telling you what to do at the job I just. I couldn't do it yeah I couldn't do it. and was the any of the food pretty good. or was it like yeah yeah they used to. have this little uh I don't even know. what the bowl was called but it's like a. bold shell M like it's a bow but it's. like the the bowl is a shell and inside.
of that you got like your Meats your. guacamole your rice beans like you can. just crush the bowl uhuh exactly hey. whoever's doing that is doing a great. job oh we about to pay that dude 750 an. hour I'll tell you that. I we keeping him get a new job get a new. jobes look good that's like a little. magic hat or something filled with a. damn little Thanksgiving in a little. Mexican Thanksgiving in there was my uh.
every time I would leave work that's. what I was taking with me yeah caban B. and what y'all had dessert choices up. there too uh SOA pi oh yeah SOA Pi God. bro with the ice cream with them uh not. ice cream but like it's some little. Icing at their head I love those but. yeah soapas that was my first time ever. having a soia was at that job my. favorite thing to make there yeah you. got to drop it in some Grease come out. like the little perfect little square. thing dipp it in the sauce you good oh. yeah. and y'all could smoke on the job was.
that allowed or not no this was I was a. football player at that time so I wasn't. really just smoking I a't really I was I. was on a whole some old other stuff see. whenever I had jobs is when I was kind. of like on a different path whenever I. didn't have a job it was a different. path I I was trying to be my own boss at. that time so what was uh you said one of. your folks they had their own business. what what work did what was their. business they had. uh I mean it wasn't nothing that you.
could like write off on your taxes you. know you could do taxes or what not you. know but yeah yeah they they paid the. bills they got the bills paid nobody. fell out of W9 no no no no no no no no. no. no but the bills was paid it was closed. on my back and it you know it was a roof. over my head so I can't complain about. it yeah not at all man um did your are. your parents still married or no no uh. they was broke up before I even came out. the room oh wow but you know they still.
good friends they they both helped take. care of me got made me the man I am. today so I mean it worked out for me. when um what when you had cuz you have. how many children you said you have one. daughter yeah I got a I have a newborn. little girl she's about to be eight. months and I got a little boy he's about. to be six nice yeah yeah oh I think I. saw one of your videos maybe oh that's. that's my dog right there is he is he. cool yeah yeah what does he like to do. H cause Havoc so my little boy got.
autism so he just he's just real he's. him you know like he he's theing he'll. sit here and be quiet one moment and. then the next moment he trying to take. something from you and run around with. he just he a character man he his own. entity within himself yeah Carter yeah. oh he's handsome guy just like his. daddy but yeah what uh if he has so. autism does he have like um is it almost. really interesting having a child with. autism cuz it almost seems like it's.
more of a complex relationship or. something so they actually actually some. of the smartest kids in the world. smartest people in the world it's oh. yeah Elon Musk had all those guys out. autism the guys that are making all the. Machinery now you got to have autism. even get a damn job at some of these. joints but so so like with him it's just. it's more like of his speech like I. could tell him turn on the TV I could. ask him what you want to watch you can. point it out it's just his speech like. like his words don't all the but if you. tell him I love you he'll say I love you. like he can repeat anything you say.
whether it's good or bad he can repeat. it it's just like he can't put it all. together himself you know what I'm. saying but he's he's his normalist could. be he's smart as I don't know what he. know any kid that can that knows how to. jump a fence you see what I'm saying to. go get in the pool yeah that that knows. how to say I want to go to dad's house. and then when he gets to Dad's house say. pool like I only came here for the pool. only reason I came he knows how to get I. don't have to put thumb print codes on.
my pantries cuz when he with his mom he. eats like a lot of organic foods and you. know when he come to that house you got. the good snacks yeah so now he know how. to get in my pantry and climb up the. yeah he Carter is a character but that's. my dog man that's my dog were you scared. about having children when you was going. to have them like cuz I you know I would. like to have children I don't have any. yet but I would like to have some but. sometimes I'm like man is it just going. to be such a big change you know I mean. you got to you got to you got to leave a. leg see you got to I've always wanted to.
I grew up in big families like so on my. dad's side it whenever we did Christmas. together everybody was spending the. night at you know at Grandma house. everybody was like my granny got I got. what one two three my granny got five. kids my dad got six. kids you know what I'm saying like so. that just it's just big over there on my. mom's side everybody just got kids so. it's just I just grew up in big family. so I knew I always wanted a a big family. I had think I was going to start as. early as I did but I really feel like.
I'm doing better cuz my mom and my dad. they was my mom was 15 my dad you see. what I'm saying so yeah a lot of we had. in our Yeah in our town a lot of the. young a lot of the sisters they got a. little bit pregnant early yeah yeah yeah. yeah you didn't even we didn't even know. we thought a lot of them just got kind. of thick or. whatever like one summer or whatever and. then we were like damn everybody's thick. all of a sudden yeah everybody got that. baby yeah and everybody had a then they.
all had a baby yeah they had a lot of. them babies in our area um yeah I think. that would be the Wild Thing D so were. you already rapping when you when you uh. had your son no wow so was it kind of. nervous like how I'm going to take care. of him or it wasn't like it was yeah I. was I was. sleeping I was in my granny house. sleeping on the couch I had just got a. job at UPS oh yeah and uh they got good. benefits over there no man not unless. you manager or like something to that.
sort or you got to work there a certain. amount of time it's it's it's it's not. good it's not good but um yeah I had. just I was staying in Austin Texas. whenever I went to school got kicked out. of school I went to stay in Austin Texas. with the mother of Carter and uh I went. to jail got out where she was saying. that I was I wasn't supposed to go to no. more like the I had a restrain order. from the the apartment complex cuz what. I had did was in the apartment complex.
okay so when I got out we did what we. did the one last time I left to go back. to Dallas she caught me 3 months later. telling me that she was pregnant wow I. said I'm sleep on the couch of my granny. house and I'm all I could tell was all. right bet I'm going to move you out here. I'm on somebody couch right now you come. sleep on this couch with me but I'm. going to get us right yeah she came I. think she slept on the couch with me. maybe 2 3 weeks damn and then I I had a. sell apartment it was no furniture. first week or two s what on a pallet on.
the floor I be the chair you be the. chair take turns exactly and so but we. made it we made it work so wow that's. wild man that's take some commitment huh. yeah yeah that's why she's forever. taking care of we not even together now. she got she got everything she could. think of you know what I'm saying times. times 10 so you have a lot of respect. for her it sounds like for sure for sure. if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't. be here yeah and that's just me being. honest what uh what did you go to jail. did you said you went to jail what did.
you go to jail. for uh so well how about this what were. the holidays like in. jail uh what holiday did I spend in jail. did I spend the holiday I think I spent. oh I did I spent Thanksgiving in jail oh. yeah what's it like do people get up. early is there anything special like on. that uh you know what that I think about. it though I was in solitary confinement. though for that Thanksgiving so boom no. no no yeah yeah I was I was. yeah it was so it was just a bunch of.
screaming from door to door would you. just hear people voices do people at. least sing like. uh I mean you got there's people that's. sitting there that's actually crazy you. know what I'm saying so they actually do. scream and do all that other stuff and. they scream anything special like. because it's Thanksgiving that's what. I'm wondering I guess oh no no no no no. no no I was screaming something special. on the day I got out it was a Tuesday. like the day I was supposed to go to. court it was a Tuesday yeah so when I. woke up to take my shower I was just I. was singing. Tuesday Tuesday like if you ever seen.
Norbit he was in the shower knowing that. he had to go to the water park with old. girl on a Tuesday that's exactly how it. was and everybody that was in their room. was just dying laughing it's a happy day. then yeah it was a happy day wow so yeah. thanksgiv what about Halloween were you. in there nah n Halloween I was out. Thanksgiving yeah so y'all get a special. meal or like is there any I mean yeah. they they give you a little scoop of. dressing and that but it's it's just not. the same as do yall go around the table.
like say what you're thankful for. anything like that nah I doubt that's. how it went you see there you go a who. are those guys I don't know them oh I. don't know. them yeah look I mean it definitely yeah. it seems yeah I guess it wouldn't be the. be like it wouldn't be the best like. really holidays holidays in jail I feel. like they're not really celebrated. because that's the time where everybody. wish that they was with family you know. what I'm saying so that's when everybody.
it's kind of intense cuz everybody is. upset everybody want to be with their. kids their moms their you know what I'm. saying so everybody just kind of try to. get through the day yeah that's a good. point I never thought about that you. kind of almost pretend like it's not. that day exactly did they have like a. lot of gay activity in jail did you see. any of it or you hear about it sometimes. on the inter there was one gay. experience for me in jail and it was a. older dude that had he was in there from. stealing a bunch of uh wood from Home. Depot. damn probably gonna build him a little.
gay Hut I don't know but he had been in. there he had been in there I don't think. nobody knew that he was like that or. whatever but you could tell he had been. down a lot like he had he don't went to. jail a bunch of times yeah yeah and. there was a uh there was a guy that came. in there that was a dentist but he was a. member of the lgbtq community okay and. he came in with nothing though like he. was from this is right when he was a. dentist yeah but he was illegal dentist. you see what I'm saying like so he knew.
how to do teeth but he didn't have he. didn't have a storefront or the. paperwork or anything he just you know. what I'm saying exactly he just knew how. to do but he was from he's from Mexico. this is when they were this is when the. whole ice situation was going on and. they were catching a bunch of the. illegals and send sending them back and. so my my P was a bunch of illegals and. he was one of the illegals but he just. happened to be a part of the you know. what I'm saying so right he was a gay. gentleman but he also was a he did he. did. he did dent and he would do dental in.
the in the no no no that's what that's. how he got AR when he got pulled over he. had a bunch of dentist equipment and. dentist stuff in his trunk and he just. there was no license wow yeah so that's. that's what got him but then on top of. that like I said he was illegal yeah so. but yeah he uh didn't have nothing and. the OG the old school he had some stuff. and so he just basically took care of. him and he had to take care of him so it. was just kind of like a prison kind of a.
love story almost exactly and we Wen. even in prison we was just in jail but. that yeah that kind of that messed me up. though yeah that messed me up yeah so. not but even then at least you get to. see somebody having some romance I guess. almost I didn't see anything yeah or you. get to or I guess it's yeah I don't know. I didn't see anything I just you know. you kind of put put two togetherly but I. bet some people get a little bit envious. like at least he got somebody you. know I mean I hey I don't know I didn't. think that way yeah I just you know me.
Nei dude I just but if yeah but that's. Love Is Love though yeah if people are. in for a long time I could see how if. somebody's in for a long time and. they're not going to get out they say. I'm just going to have to figure this. out over here and call I mean if you in. jail for the if you're in prison for the. rest of your. life no I can't even say that cuz that. insinuates that if I was to ever go to. prison for the rest of my life that I. yeah yeah so I don't know we're here now.
yeah yeah Happy Thanksgiving Happy. Thanksgiving wow man yeah I guess I. wonder what the holidays are like in. there and stuff like that but um is. there anything that you missed wait. what's the difference between jail and. prison I've never been to prison so I. can't really tell you how how bad prison. get but from what I've. heard it's just I mean you got to it's. it's see jail you possibly going home. you know what I'm saying like you you. can can go home prison you know you. there for a little bit so that's when.
it's more hostile it's more gangs it's. more you know what I'm saying that's. where that stuff takes a a play and like. the the gang wars and there the racial. stuff that stuff is real in prison you I. hate all that some people say that the. the feds is better than prison just cuz. off the strength it's for one I guess a. lot more people with money there so and. there just a lot more stuff there like. tablets you know well I mean everybody. got tablet now even in even in prison. they got tablets but it's just you know.
what I'm saying for a while swings. recess type [ __ ] Outdoor stuff that's I. have never been to prison I've never. been to the Fed so I don't know I'm just. going off of what I've been told but I. know if jail suck prison got to be worse. yeah and the FEDS got to be worse than. that damn you know so it's just like but. if I ever go down and do some time I. rather go to the feds because they just. look like they they're not free but. they're Freer you know what I'm saying. so little more relaxed yeah. exactly yeah I don't know if I'm going.
to ever go to prison or not I mean I you. know overall I would probably I would. hope I didn't yeah but don't [ __ ] try. me yeah no for sure for sure so that's. how I think about some of that they say. first impressions are important what. about Lasting.

you're obviously a good communicator so. you have that that was built into you. when did it start to become lyrical for. you so uh remember I told you I was in. solitary confinement for Thanksgiving I. had missed my son first birthday being. in jail and so when I got out I knew I. never wanted to work a real job. obviously and on top of that when I got. out I just couldn't do what I was doing. no more like all the street activity I. was doing I had made a promise to my son.
that like you'll never not see your dad. again I'll never miss another birthday. I'll never miss another anything even. though I kind of told a story cuz here I. am here and he's in Texas you know what. I'm saying but this is me doing what I. got to do to benefit him you know what. I'm saying so. but yeah yeah so uh I got out made the. promises to him and so I just had to. figure it out I had a my he's not my. artist but he also my cousin it was just. you know good friend at the time he just. was like he been rapping since he was 9.
years old he he your real cousin yeah. okay and so he had been telling me. forever you need to rap you need to rap. cuz we would do like Little Freestyle. sessions and whatnot and I would. freestyle and it'll be a group of us but. he'll just look at me and be like bro. you need to rap for real but I'm like. bro you been rapping you since 9 years. old you ain't blew up yet why would I. why would I do that you know why would I. I'm not going to listen to you exactly. but whenever I got out and I just really. didn't have nothing else you know what. I'm saying what I was saying that I I. was really trying to live up to that.
promise that I made to my son so. whenever he was like rap I was like all. right bet and I tried it did maybe like. three songs I like the I like the the. feedback I got from it you know what I'm. saying just from the our friend group. then it went past that to just people. that we knew from school then it went. from that to people that we didn't know. and so I was just like okay just doing. something so you just gave it to friends. first was it even like close friends or. do you have like enough confidence. you're like all right I'm going to put. this I'm going to I mean of course I I.
just I didn't even know how to drop. music Ro told me Dr kit so I just went. through Dr kit but like I said I when I. was dropping them it was just I was just. telling my immediate friend group yeah. but then when I started noticing that I. was getting tags and stuff from people. that I didn't know that's wild huh yeah. I was like okay this it's doing a little. something it's doing a little something. then just to walk around my own City and. everybody know me I go in any club. everybody knew me I was all right you. this is really it's really happening.
crazy yeah then I got my first I got my. first deal in like in 6 months my first. distribution deal under six months so. once that happened I just went from. there I just I see I had made a little. bag off of it because I done I done. touched a lot of money in my life but I. ain't never touched nothing like I've. never had a $100,000 sit in my hand that. one point in time yeah and when I did. that distribution deal I had that and so. I was like me doing something non.
illegal I just touched $100,000 at one. time you must have been like dang this. is it yeah and then like 3 months later. I was. broke you we get a water slot or. something no I just was you know I doing. for everybody everybody buy some wild. [ __ ] when they get a little bit of money. now they tell you I didn't even I didn't. have no big chain I didn't even want no. chain to this day I wouldn't had this. chain if they wouldn't tell me bro you. got an image that you got uphold you're. the biggest rapper in Texas you can't.
but I don't I never cared about none of. that at first I kind of got addicted. after I start paying for yeah you get. some nice carpet or whatever you get a. rug nice table you start buying all kind. of [ __ ] lamps ex exactly silverware with. your name on it yeah yeah so with my. name on it is crazy but no uh yeah so I. had the smallest chain I just was doing. for people around me I go in the mall. you I it I couldn't even find nothing. for me to wear in the mall I would go to. the mall to buy shoes and just tell my. my friends hey y'all get whatever y'all.
want you know what I'm saying like my. mama anytime she would ask for anything. giving it to my pops anything I was just. doing it you know what I'm saying then I. looked up one day and I was down to like. $25,000 I was like oh [ __ ] go fast too. and you got to pay taxes you don't even. think about that I didn't think about. none of that I didn't think about none. of that and so I just had to I really. just put my foot down and grind it and I. got it all back and then next thing I. know that 100 went to. I just we went crazy after that you know.
so our independent so all my money come. to me hell yeah yeah we do we did good. yeah that's the same we work for. ourselves here too it's inspiring I see. a lot of guys out there like that L. Russell you ever see him yeah yeah he go. crazy bro his bars are good man and he's. so like inspirational he's got this. whole thing man he does half the [ __ ] in. his back he already he's sewing half the. sweaters himself that he's sing man he. puts it together he's really inspire and. I like watching him um do you see that.
Trump thing that happened with the guy. what made the joke yesterday I have not. been in a debate situation at all. actually well this a comedian they just. had him in yesterday this is Tony. henchcliffe he's a friend of mine and he. just uh said they put him up at the at. Madison Square Gardens last night in New. York City they put him up to speak and. then this was a joke that he told it's. just everybody's going crazy about it. today like I don't know if you guys know. this but there's literally a floating. island of garbage in the middle of the. ocean right now yeah I think it's called.
Puerto Rico oh okay so that's jokey told. right at like a Madison Square Garden. rally I guess yeah so people are up in. arms about it cuz a lot of people are. Puerto Rican in New York yeah yeah that. was that was yeah that was a very crazy. statement just see yeah that seemed like. a unique choice to me but I don't know. I've made some poor choices but I. haven't made that one. that's I think we've all made a poor a. poor choice you once before I made a ton.
do you guys do you feel like Texas rocks. with Trump or you feel like are you a. political guy I'm not a political guy I. just listen I keep my head down I make. the money that I can make how I can make. it as long I can keep taking care of my. kids I don't care about what you know. everything hey we we got to go to war we. got to go to war we don't we don't I you. just got to be ready for whatever come. you be a paratrooper dude looking at. that video of yours we'll we'll send you. in feel like I'm to the point.
now where they wouldn't even ask me you. know like if if if the world was to end. you know how like in all the world. ending movies yeah there's always like. those two ships or two boats I think. I've made it to get on one of those now. like I'm on the list right they're going. to keep you exactly like plus two you. know so and you have to bring your. children probably yeah obviously. obviously or do or do I bring bring two. women oo so I can repopulate start more.
children yeah one kid one woman and the. other kids no no no I got to take both. my kids how you do I got to take both my. kids that that's the best answer to end. on I think for that um yeah people bet. on it now two people betting on the. election they have uh you ever seen this. so this cuz a lot of it is it's like. well where's people's money at cuz. that's where they're really that's where. you follow the money everywhere. everywhere that's where you really learn. things I find and they have caly this is.
a website where people bet on the. election and it's yeah Trump's at 62%. now there and kamla is at. 38% um what else do they have on there. Trevon if you can bring something up oh. how many number one songs this year on. Billboard but you can bet on all all. types of stuff Grammy nominations for. album of the. Year who's that cowboy. Carter uh Casey has 93% Casey Musgraves.
Chris Stapleton will uh big X win a. Grammy right you could bet on that you. could bet on anything you know and they. probably have some of it on there but. what is he at right now what's it at. right now go. back oh it's Trump 62% and the money. that's been bet $86 million that's crazy. that's crazy bro that is so crazy um. like as your life has kind of taken some. new turns you've had new opportunities. have you have there been any new mentors. that have come into your life or like.
people that you start to see like this. person I I feel something that they're. doing is interesting or I could learn. from it yeah and that you kind of have. created relationships with yet. uh like I said I keep my head. down I mean I just recently did a. interview with uh you know the million. dollars worth of game wallow and Gilly. man yeah I saw some of it but I mean. it's I don't really. I know I'm not a big industry person man. I'm not going to lie to you I don't like.
I I keep relationships that are meant to. be kept like you know that I'm not I'm. not going to overextend myself it's just. got to be genuine and a lot of this. stuff is not genuine you know oh yes the. worse I just I just kind of stay to. myself I don't know I feel like if I if. anything my biggest Mentor is like my. son you know what I'm saying just cuz I. feel like you go through everything you. going through and you still you get up. and you smile every day. yeah even though you might not know. what's going on you just you know you.
you get up and smile every day not even. knowing you know what I'm saying so. right I have to say my him yeah. everybody else I feel like I don't know. I did everything that I've done to get. here I feel like I do it on my own. like so yeah you don't need I guess an. industry you don't yeah maybe you're. your own Mentor that's interesting your. son could be your Mentor in a way. because it really is a mentor is just. kind of a source of inspiration kind of. no for sure cuz there days that I don't. want to get up I don't want to do none. of this you know what I'm saying but if. my son can get up every day and go to.
school and had a biggest smile on his. face and have good days why can I not. you know so do you um you ever listen to. jelly roll you ever met jelly roll man. I've never met him but I've heard I've. heard that he loves me man I love jelly. roll I got y'all would make a sick y'all. could put something together I don't. know if you do that kind of stuff oh you. have you have some collabs right um yeah. bro he's he's the one of the most. genuine dudes I'm actually I'm supposed. to be doing a uh a country tape next and.

out there do do a lot of you believe in. aliens do you believe in aliens my. friend I don't know cuz you got to think. man they got a lot of space out there. man they do do I believe that there's. another. uh like Planet out there with life on it. of course I think so aliens I think they. might look just like us yeah I think. they might look just like us they might. just speak different.
and yeah yeah I ain't going to say they. just look. like you know I'm not going to say that. but yeah like a Teletubby or something. yeah yeah they might look like yeah yeah. I'm not going to do that but they might. look like the guy with the ears yeah him. down there down there right there they. might look like that oh damn he look. like he cut his own hair. [Laughter]. that guy cuts his own hair man maybe.
what what if they don't have to cut. their hair that's just how their hair. naturally is they just snapping it falls. off how they want it to be wow this is. that's is as alien as it'll get for me D. we used to have a bus driver he cut. everybody's hair he was the barber in. our town so like once a month he pull a. bus over $2 everybody get cut up $2 I. don't know if I want I don't know if I. would want that haircut oh it want a. gray cut but it's the only cut they had. man but it's like what can you give for. $2 yeah I mean you get what you get he. was just sitting a bowl on your head and. just cutting around it well he could do.
it off a sight he didn't need a uh you. know dish wear or nothing but he could. he he he he he he did it he didn't have. that much faith in himself though cuz. $2 that's you get $2 that don't even get. you no dip that don't get you nothing. but this was man this was 25 years ago. though too 22 years ago okay okay so he. had yeah he really I thought he did a. pretty good job but he pulled that bus. over bam everybody years. how old are you I'm. 44 really I'm an adult man I'm in a d.
soon I'm an. adult man you you you look good the end. thanks man I feel good but I'm just just. getting older I got to get a wife soon. yeah you all have to I know you don't. have to you don't think man I I it's. like part of me feel like. this I don't know man I'm in a I got two. women right now and I just feel like I. probably would be be better with with. none right now you know yeah you know.
cuz it's just like as you get as as it. get better it get worse. yeah but there's something also. admirable about a guy that's that's able. to make that work though too I think if. I see that and the guy's able to make it. work that he's able to take care of of. his wife or ex-wife or I I feel like. there's almost something a little bit. admirable about it I struggle every day. yeah I struggle every day they see it. every day I struggle but you know I feel.
like it's making me a better a better. person cuz now like I feel like the past. me didn't know how to treat women now. that I got a daughter it made me want to. treat women better and it will happen. right when I have two women so now I'm. treating them both like Queens obviously. but it get to a point where you know but. that's another that's another combo look. everybody started listening and N yeah. that's another convo man something else. bro definitely take take as much time as. you need cuz once you get. married it's a RP you there it's a rrap.
my dad just told me he going to propose. to his girlfriend on uh the Dallas date. on stage uhuh and what song you going to. play a special song for him if she says. yes u i mean he's the voice on Texas so. I probably just play. Texas first off will you marry me you. know yeah Dang if you got to meet some. aliens what songs would you play for him. you think mhm yeah mm I'm from Texas.
Texas. and and what about some other artists. the biggest the largest yeah I would. that for them they would like that but. if they pull up with a big ass large ass. alien you going to have some competition. though he going to like the song though. he going to like the song that's all I. know but uh I definitely will play gotta. play some Lil Wayne. I would. play yeah dude you got to play some.
little way we used to live not far from. Juvenile and he chased a woman down the. street One Night in our neighborhood oh. Jesus we just going to say she did. something wrong oh I'm assuming she did. yeah yeah and we can probably take that. out I don't want to hurt the guy's. feelings I don't know if that's still. pending either. um what. uh yeah I'm trying to think of what else. man you've had so much uccess this year. do you start to feel about different. goals or you just stay you just kind of. stay in in the pocket you're in like.
what do you feel like do you feel a. responsibility to keep up with your own. success now because that's interesting. once you start to have some success you. you almost set the bar for yourself. without even realizing it right you're. just trying to achieve some goals but. then you set a bar kind of uh I mean. like I said I I didn't I didn't come in. this one to be the best rapper ever I. didn't even want to be a rapper it was. just something I had to do something to. take care of my child and so like it's. just to the point where it's like like. as long as I'm taking care of my child. I'm good I I still don't feel like I'm.
treating this as the NFL cuz like I said. I wanted to I thought I was going to be. a football player the NFL stands for not. for long yeah so I gave myself five. years in this I tell them every day man. I can't wait to retire in this rap and. they be like yeah you got like 10 more. years and I'll be like no I got two and. they be like no I'm like yeah I only got. two cuz after that I'm just I feel like. movies you know like I'm I'm just. setting myself up for other things to. bring more Revenue to. my family when I'm gone my kids going to. be serious they ain't got to do nothing.
but it's going to like I've I'm going to. have I'm been done so much like as far. as music movies. commercials voiceovers whatever you know. what I'm saying that it's going to make. them want to do something you know what. I'm saying man my dad did all of this I. got to go do this I got to do something. to make my own name I want my kids to. want their own name yeah so it's like. what everything that I'm doing right now. I'm basically doing it to make it hard. on them obviously what you're saying cuz. if they if they're as competitive if. they have that competitive spirit and I.
don't know that's in me cuz it got. passed down from my dad my brother the. it's all it's just I know I know that's. going to be there exactly yeah and so. when they when they when they nice and. ready I just know they going they going. to put their [ __ ] for forth and they. going to figure it that man but if they. don't they got p and cash on if they. don't you know so what about a Christmas. album man you going to do something like. that for everybody man I did do a. Christmas song one time when I feel like. it went crazy I just dropped it at the. wrong time. when do you drop it in the. summer uh no it was cold it was cold I.
actually dropped it right around. Christmas it just was earlier in my. career so like when I had less eyes you. know yeah but it's I think it's over a. million something right now now that. I've become who I've become maybe it. could pick up then this year yeah yeah I. think what it got 1.5 a year ago and. would you ever do a mall s or something. like that like for children or for. charity I would I would that's actually. a great idea that'd be sick bro that's a. great. idea yeah dude if you got to be a mall.
Santa that would be pretty. good. um yeah I don't know if we can listen to. it or not because we'll have to it'll. get claimed or whatever um what's your. show like man what's the show like uh I. might pull up tonight you should you. should uh n it's more like now at first. my shows were just like turning like a. lot of dancing lot of towel and all that. shaking a toil there's always that one. guy that's just who the towel guy or.
whatever like on the rap stages is that. one dude and he just oh you talking. about like a hype man yeah yeah yeah I. guess Ro is my hype man it's good though. you got to have him no but now it's we. we're more like put together like I. don't I don't know what it is me and Ro. we've been performing together. since my first ever performance he was. on stage with me so I don't know it's. just the chemistry is there we know we. with. everything that we done put together it. just happened it wasn't nothing that we. said like we just for the first time did.
rehearsals before this tour and we done. did three tours before like my tour. Kevin Gates tour key loock tour we never. rehearsed nothing it was just we went on. stage and it just happened wow so now we. finally rehearsing it so I just feel. like that made like now he come out on. stage in a FedEx uniform you know what. I'm saying like it's crazy we just put. more to it my yeah yeah it's just you. should come I'm going to come to see a. big guy my size move the way I move and. to you wouldn't even think that it was.
an hour set I do hour sets and you. wouldn't if I wasn't sweating so bad you. wouldn't even know I was tired like I. don't know it's just kind of like second. nature to us down there we all we were. football players so we always been under. the the lights you know what I'm saying. and so I don't know that just it just. make you want to put on more of a show. do you have some ballads in there too. some love songs like that uh I guess I. used to but now like so the take care. tour is basically it's I mean it's off.
of the you know it's based off the album. and my album wasn't more of a it wasn't. a Turn Up album it wasn't a a for the. women album it was just me speaking on. me in this industry you know speaking on. me and the now and so like now I feel. like my shows are more. like personal like a lot of people that. come to my shows now they come because. they felt the same way they feel the. same way exactly and so like I did it. myself I've been doubted and I still. believed enough in myself to get things. exactly so now I speak like now I. perform with what's that what the thing.
called that you sit the mic on mik Mike. stand yeah my fault I had I had a brain. F my fault but yeah so now I come out. Mike stand like I'll show you my my. intro now you'll be like okay yeah. that's crazy that's crazy if you can. pull my Instagram up you actually can. see it yeah let's pull it up and I'm. going to come see tonight man we make. sure y'all follow me at Big X the plug. oh as. well wow bro so exciting man it's really. awesome to see all you to see just you. have so many need opportunities that.

that's crazy I should have got in I had. a little bit of a chance but I. didn't but hey it happens it was if you. ask me it was this is the easiest thing. I've ever done in my life no cap if it. wasn't for all the extra stuff that come. with it this is the easiest money I've. ever made in my life yeah cuz I don't. it's it's different when you got to lie. and make up stuff and cuz now that's a. whole another process you got to do oh. yeah but when you just talking about.
what you've done what you've went. through like it that's just coming off. that's coming off my head I don't got to. think oh what would sound like you know. what I'm saying I don't have to do that. if you're saying true to your own life. then you you don't have to manipulate. anything exactly and it's just so much. easier you can go in the studio you can. you basically writing a story about. yourself yeah it's easy man that's a. great it's a it's interesting I think. people can understand what you're. talking about too they can sh they can. uh you just communicate so well that I. think it just it reaches a lot of people.
you know um X congrats on all the. success man appreciate you yeah congrats. on the tour album out now man y make. sure y keep running that take care of uh. we got uh we only three days in the tour. we still got 29 more dates and a lot of. these are sold out by now a lot yes a. lot of these are sold out so y'all try. to get in where y'all can fit in huh. oh definitely get those Mee and greets. oh do people yeah how do you guys you.
guys do that after the shows uh I try to. do them before the show because after. I'm all sweaty and yeah so I like to do. it before but I I don't know also feel. like after it's more like genuine you. know what I'm saying before I feel like. it's me it's just kind of like trying to. get it and this is coming from this is. me being honest about me yeah before. it's kind of just feel like it's like. I'm going through the like oh soundcheck. then meet and greed then but after the. show it's like it's just more genuine. because you tired and it's just the real.
you now you you had the show already. exactly and they've gotten to see it too. exactly exactly so it's like whenever. they come up like I had a a guy a grown. man last night walk up on me and tell me. bro I love you I appreciate you because. of what you got going you you helped me. I love you told me you love me twice you. know so it's like that's that's that's. real love before if we would have did. the meeting GRE before he wouldn't have. went through the show and he said I. might love you yeah yeah hey great job. you this all I have got but he he listen. to the show he listen to the lyrics and.
yeah after that the Energy's been there. there's been that connection I think a. lot of people you don't think about it. from their perspective though they're. just excited to get to see you some. people it's like you want to hear their. music but also I think you just want to. be in the same building as them and I. think that's some of the energy that you. have I think some people it's just their. songs yeah I want to go listen for their. songs I don't know if I really have have. a sense of them as a person but to me it. feels like and it's just my thoughts. that there's something else where people.
like oh I also want to be in the same. room as him I just you know I feel like. it's um and and it's different when you. got like when you're actual like when. you're genuine like it's you humble it's. you know it's just you it's actually you. it's not. no right you know what I'm saying when. you just taking a picture getting out. the way know you enjoyed the show how. did you like the show what was your. favorite part of the show appreciate you. coming out man people love that that. make them feel. like you're they're a person and you're. a person you know what I'm saying when.
you taking a picture and moving them on. out the way or not even that just make. it seem like you're a robot like you the. machine is running you oh yeah and these. days that's some of the best artists is. just everything that's outside of the. machine The Machine's dirty man that's. why I feel like everything that we doing. right now is you doing it yourself is. storyed cuz it's it's all us we're doing. it completely independent who's your. team uh I mean I know a lot of them. right here but just okay so I got a. distribution deal through United Masters. okay so they don't do nothing but.
distribute my music uh I mean they they. gave me a small marketing budget you. know what I'm saying nothing too major. like a major label they pay for. everything you know like this tour I. paid for out of my pocket like wow the. bus that's $200,000 on the bus I know. dude that bus is damn expensive I take. the whole bus what yeah grahan was 60. it's. $60 to get to. Rochester that's smart or FedEx you be. mail yourself.
overnight not different me I don't know. but I just feel like I don't know I'm. kind of glad we did The Bu though cuz. you know it's just no you have to do it. yeah you have to it's hard to start to. spend that money on yourself like we. toour with comedy we just got back from. Montana some different places but it's. like you just cuz at a certain point. you're investing just in your own Co you. have to be comfortable you can't show up. like you're like rattled you know it's. like cuz you have to put the show on no. you're right you're right. not trying to preach at you I just I. tried to nickel and dime we [ __ ] was. on motorbikes one time we was on all.
kind of [ __ ] trying to save money man we. had a camper we had all kind of [ __ ] no. for sure now yeah I mean this was. cheaper than flying everybody everywhere. so yeah and we just I just I went. through the Sprinter experience and I. just couldn't do that again it's hard. hey man yeah we did all that van. Sprinter and then finally you just have. to make sure you're comfortable enough. to show up y wow what a journey big a. thanks for just letting us Enjoy your. music man I love uh yeah just how humble. you are man and just um yeah people to.
