Jayy Wick on Blowing Up as a White Rapper, His Signature Haircut, Pooh Sheisty Co-Sign & More

25:46Cause like, you know, my few, I didn't have a bunch of family, my few direct family that I have and a couple of my friends like, except for like where I grew up, I did hang out with a couple white folks too. So like, you know, they like, I would be around their parents and their grandparents. You know, they're listening to old Hank Williams, like the old country and shit. So I've been, whenever I tell you, I've literally been in the whole mixing pot of all that shit whenever it comes to music. I've literally been around it all. Yeah, that's kind of a crazy thing too because I'm from the East Coast, but like my mom like kind of just started listening to country at a certain point and her explanation why was basically like, they don't make, like she grew up listening to, you know, classic rock and shit, but she's like, They don't make music that really just talks about relationships and normal shit like that anymore.

26:27Country kind of hits a chord that she just felt like she wasn't really getting from the type of music that she grew up listening to, so she sort of fell into it. For sure, and it does to an extent. In a way, that's one of the reasons I don't really fuck with country music as in being my favorite genre. I feel like a lot of country music is the same shit. Like, you know, my girl left me. But then again, you know, motherfuckers say the same shit about rap music. Yeah. So it's all down to down how you look at it. Because when I was like explaining to my girl why I don't really like listening to the country that much.

27:00And I'm realizing as I'm saying shit that it's just purely like what you affiliate or associate yourself with culturally. Because it's like as soon as I hear a dude start singing a country song about drinking beer, it just don't really register with me. Because to me, I never really thought drinking beer was all that cool. and then I'm like as I'm saying that I'm thinking like okay but there's a million songs that you love about smoking weed and drinking lean and it's like okay well like culturally I just kind of like affiliate myself more with that kind of stuff and think that kind of shit's cool and same thing like if you're singing about you know driving around in a pickup truck I don't really got anything against a pickup truck but it just doesn't really like strike that chord with me.

27:38It's relatable yeah that's a big thing with music and like that's why a lot of people feel like they have a connection to artists because like you know music music makes shit feel relatable. Definitely. You can never meet somebody and hear a song and be like, damn, I feel like I know this motherfucker. Mm-hmm. Facts. Okay, so where'd the name actually come from? Is Jay your government name? Yeah, I mean, so my name is Justin. So I just took the Jay. And the John Wick thing? Is that kind of where it came from? Yeah, they gave me the Wick thing. So yeah, I tell people I did not name myself. That's a real story.

28:09So that's normal shit where you're from that you can just walk around with a gun on your hip and it's no big deal? We live in Georgia. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so like, yeah, we got open carry, like, yeah, yeah, hell yeah, we love guns. Do you think open carry is good for society? I mean, yeah, like, I feel like, I'm a big believer in guns don't kill people, like, you know, that kind of thing, like, man, you give a stupid motherfucker a gun and he go to show his ass, it's not like, it's stupid motherfucker's fault. I feel like, you know, as society as a whole, like, guns is very big for like, you know, where we live and shit like that, like, Especially in the South, man.

28:46Everybody, grandma got a gun down that bit. It's just literally like a way of life. So yeah, I'm here, yeah. When I'm down in Texas or whatever, it's definitely a feel of people are not gonna around as readily because of the reality of the fact that probably a large percentage of the people here are strapped. But then I was let down when I went to Nashville and we were going to a lot of different places and there was like no firearms allowed, signs in front of everywhere. and I'm like, oh, okay, it's not as chill as you'd think. That's like insurance purposes. That shit, them bitches everywhere in Atlanta.

29:21You guys believe there's some shit in that bitch. Any mile you go in Atlanta, you're going to see a sign that say no firearms. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we've heard plenty of stories that would say otherwise. Unless you're going to metal detect everybody on the way in, which is such a huge pain. I have heard about doing that in Atlanta in certain malls and stuff. You got to go through metal detectors and shit. We really don't have no issues walking through nowhere for the most part. You know, but shit. If it's one of them shit and the week is not going in, we won't turn around and go back in the car.

29:53We won't go to South Lake. So you still just have one kid? Yeah, I got a little boy. Okay. And how old now? Two and a half. Two and a half. It'll be three in September. Okay. So is that like extra gratifying just that you're starting to see success musically as a result? Like just the fact that like now you can do things for your kid that you haven't been able to previously? or just knowing that like at some point they're going to look at your life and be, damn, like my dad actually really did something with the music. I mean, for sure. You know, that's always the goal is just like I feel like any parent relates to like how the fuck am I going to take care of these kids?

30:26What the fuck am I going to do to really like provide? And my whole thing is like my pops work a nine to five. I watched my dad make like$19 ,000 a year at one point and like stood on every fucking bit of business they ever had to be stood on. So for me to know, especially now with the position that I'm in, I can't be nothing but thankful and give all praise to God for me being in a position where I can handle all the business without really having to lift a finger at this point. So yeah, it's definitely probably the most gratifying thing I've ever done, bro. To really know that I'm my biggest critic, you feel me?

31:05So to really be able to pat myself on the back and be like, you did it, boy. It is a nice feeling. But did you grow up thinking that a normal 9 to 5 was like a good outcome? Or did you look at that as something that you were kind of dreading? Like that would be your backup plan? I mean, I always knew. I mean, it was definitely a backup plan. Like I always knew that like. When you want your spring break to feel like. And your kid's pool day to feel like. And your hotel bed to feel like. Ooh, and room service to feel like... Because at Hilton, hospitality feels like... Your cabana's ready. Would you like fresh towels?

32:03The treat you deserve. Pepsi, Wild Cherry and Cream. Treat yourself. Bills had to be the landlord wanting that motherfucking money. And like, you know, I grew up with like, my dad was a real like nine to five, like stick to the book type of guy. And then like, I grew up around dope boys and gangsters. So like, you know, as having like the whole mix, what I always knew was like, you got to get some money. But like my pops didn't steal in me. And like, I don't work the ass load of jobs. I done did a bunch of shit. So my pops really instilled in me, ain't nothing wrong with going to work. If you broke and you ain't got no hustle or you're not in a position, you could really be hustling.

32:44Hell yeah, you need to go get a damn job. But in the same time, I'd be at jobs writing music. I got fired from a job just because I was in my notes writing music so much. So it was like, this job shit's cool. I always had that real passion to be like, man, this is not where I'm supposed to be. For sure. um did you ever like being that you kind of grew up around people who are really hustling like was there ever times that you look back on where you were like on the verge of maybe like getting fully in the streets like on some serious serious level or i mean like did what they've had to do like you know like the bills have always been paid regardless of what job i was working like you so like i ain't never really but like that's like I said bro I just I've always I'm gonna get me some money I know that I have responsibilities a younger me was to a point where he didn't give a f*** about responsibility so like you know I was really like there was a point where I was f***ing 18 fresh out of high school s*** sitting on the couch and realized I had folks doing for me and like didn't really care and so like nah I know I got responsibility I got s*** that I gotta do so yeah I'm gonna get the f*** off my ass You always smoked weed since you were super young like do you feel like like when you think about it you're saying make it six seven hundred dollars a week i'm like damn that must have been at a certain point like you gotta really conserve if you want to smoke weed on that kind of budget enough so it's weird yeah it's definitely budgeting like a lot of a lot of shit's just like it came down to points but it was like hey like i need you to front me to next week yeah you know there's been plenty of those situations but like yeah i've smoked weed like probably i'm 25 probably the past 12 13 years of my life i probably started like dabbling and smoking weed when I was like 12, 13 years old.

34:31Just like, whatever. My adopted parents divorced when I was 11. I stayed with my pop. So by the time I'm like 11, turning into 12, he kind of like started letting go of the leash a little bit. I started walking to the project. The apartments that I live was right here. There was an elementary school right here. And then the projects was right down here at the bottom of the hill. So I didn't do nothing but walk down past school and all my folks and all my friends live right down the projects. So as I get older, he started kind of letting me go and i then it got okay would you come back when the street lights come on okay come back it'd be back at 10 o 'clock so i was 13 years old out there at nine waiting on the damn sun to go down middle of sometimes smoke weed yeah yeah that's a hell yeah man it's a people ask me all the time why do you smoke and like i feel like i asked a lot of different answers like you know is this you smoke weed like i smoke every every day all day for 15 years and that stopped like a month and a half ago or some shit yeah i still with the the wax pen a little bit but yeah i just stopped like because i smoked blunts and spliffs and shit for so long now i got this little guy on me just in case but uh i don't know i was just like felt like i really wanted to start taking my health as as serious as possible like i still smoke a little bit but i just kind of had to fall back i don't know yeah facts i've i don't know you're young yeah keep going keep going now and everybody tells me that they're like bro you're young as well i am to the point It's just part of the routine.

35:54It's just like I wake up, I brush my teeth, I shower, I roll the blunt. Just like you eat breakfast. And I feel like a lot of people that smoke weed, like shit, it'd be days you'd be like, man, I need to smoke. Oh yeah. I mean, I will say though that there are, like I just have a lot of memories of my life of like waking up and smoking a blunt and then having to go do something that was like kinda complicated or high pressure. And like when I look back on it, I'm like, why the fuck? where you like like like i'm like doing these crazy interviews with these big names and shit i'm like why did you face a blunt before you did that like you didn't have to do that that was like you made that a lot harder than it had to be but i feel like with the lifestyle of an artist going in the studio rapping making music and shit that shit is kind of like really lends itself to to that you know it does it doesn't like my uh my mind's always been really fast paced so like whether whether it's thoughts or whether it's like what do i got to do today or whether it's like a real like mental health level it's always been super fast paced for me so like the weed kind of slow that shit down definitely you with other drugs or uh not really not really i uh i had a whenever i was young i was on adirav prescription and then uh i came off of it whenever i was like 16 and then you know whenever i was like 18 21 i kind of back and forth i used did for more like when it could benefit me because like especially as I really tried to like get into I did a lot of like night shift jobs and like I was working I'd be working like four to five hours at a day shift job catch like two three hours of sleep go do a night shift job and then sleep eight hours really and uh yeah so like that was I took I'd take Adderall before I went over but no I ain't really what kind of night shift jobs oh I did I did electrical work oh like yeah like oh so like come in here with all these ties in, like they have the big light trays and shit, we try not to change all the lights, do all the fucking motion sensor bullshit.

37:46Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What about drinking, you a daily drinker? Or are you a... Really like, I'll drink for like social, and like I walk around with this big ass bottle of tequila, but I'll drink two like drinks out of it the whole fucking day. I'm not really big on like drunkenness and shit like that, but like, I mean, I'll drink, you know, for the vibe. Yeah, no, that's what I would say is that like, i feel like the challenge with alcohol is that a small amount is really great as like a social lubricant but you know if you get drunk as shit like especially in the music industry when you're gonna be meeting people that are important that you want to make a good impression on etc like i have memories of just geeking off molly meeting like super important like music industry people and when i look back on it i'm like damn they were probably looking at me like such a tweaker damn i was out there yeah no no no for sure yeah i just with alcohol man it's like a you got to know your way you are with alcohol and like your limits and shit because you you definitely get past that point man i don't like i don't like people to see because i look like a real jackass i'm trying to get drunk man i'm slapping falling asleep i don't like shit like that no i feel that for sure um okay so you got caught stealing from the store when you were really young hell yeah was Was that the first time you got in trouble?

39:03Not in trouble. The first time the cops came? Yeah, yeah, type, type shit. Just some young, petty shit, bro. And then one of my homeboys and f***ing around and took some shit. Then motherf***ing tried to take the blade for some shit. Was that like a reality check or like your parents get pissed off at you for it? I mean, they're definitely pissed off. It was just petty shit, bro. We just f***ing. We ain't get f***ed. I was back doing stupid bullshit. Whenever I tell you there's literally nothing to do where we from, like, absolutely. We're as bad as f*** for no reason, but we should do s*** just to see what we can get away with.

39:34Yeah, yeah. No, you definitely reached that point. Because you're a young kid and you think that you're just supposed to follow all the rules and then somehow it comes into your mind at a certain point. For me, I think I was probably 11 or 12 where it was like, oh, you can get away with s***. I could go to the store and steal s*** and get away with it. And nothing's going to happen. And nothing's going to happen. And then I caught the reality check of like, oh, no. Something will happen. Yeah, something will happen eventually. what does your adopted dad think about you kind of getting all this notoriety and stuff and people pay attention to you now do you think he gets it yeah yeah for sure he's always like I said he's real like southern gospel real Christian real real big into the church but like at the same time like shout out to my pops he's always known who his son was and like he's never really like he's never knocked me for who I was he never he never really rode me too hard for it and it just kind of got to a point where he was like you know my son's a white boy to be rapping and now this shit's pop man he'll call me all the time like some lady just stopped me in walmart told me you know oh you're you're jay wick's dad really so yeah it feels good bro it's definitely i pulled up on him i gave him some money you know oh no i'm finna i'm finna go buy him a car whenever we get back to georgia so just doing being able to do shit like that feels nice That's what's up.

40:53So yeah, okay, the Pork Chop Sandwich song went viral. Like, how did that kind of play out? Because you did like a hanging mic for a couple of your different songs and stuff. Like, did that really kind of help it go to another level? That was really like the, hey, we should actually do this moment. So it was really my son's birthday. And we was down there in the country. I looked at my baby mama. I was like, I don't want to just go to the city. Take birth to the city. We took him to the aquarium. He showed up for his birthday. And we had this. I got this nice ass hotel room, balcony and everything.

41:23And I was like, shit, I could really do a little mic drop while I'm up here because I knew brother lived in the city. And I called him and I was like, bro, what's the schedule? Let's just do a little mic drop. I got like three or four songs I want to choose from. Let's just see. And he was like, fuck it, I pulled up on him. He pulled up on me at the hotel and I walked down there to get him and he's just blaring pork chop sandwich. I'm like, I haven't sent it to nobody. He's got it, like two other people have it. And he just pulls up beating it. And he's smiling, I hear it, cuts down. He's like, bro.

41:51we need to do this one bro and so we walked back upstairs and i play all the other songs he's like no no we need to do this porch out sandwich and we just we shot the mic drop right on the balcony and the numbers did good enough on like facebook and where we put it on youtube i was like okay you know like folks is with this and so we decided to turn around shooting music video like two weeks later and it did you know decent with just me putting it on youtube by itself and then uh i had one clip go viral on instagram and it went from like 10 000 to like 50 000 like whatever i could share i was like oh shit man it just constantly was going up every every 30 minutes definitely i mean is it a coincidence that both of the songs that are really taking off are like food titles yeah i mean all flats being a wing reference i'm not the food guy bro i tell you this all the time bro i'm uh that's why i'm so ready to drop this project because there's so much of this folks that are going to see it and be like, oh, shit.

So like, you know, I'm one of them just like, whenever I say shit, if I rap about it, bro, I rap about my real life. Like whatever aspect that is, like whether it be food or like, well, what I'm doing that day or whatever. So like whenever, whenever you hear shit like that, just know like, man, that's one country ass white, bro. That's more fucking rapping about flats. Nah, facts. Do you really like those more though? I feel like I'm always been like a...

44:12My partner a drum guy too. Hell no, I'm f***ing with them flats. Yeah, yeah. I love them flats. Really, I need a mix though. Like I'm trying to... Like the mix? I'm trying to kind of bounce back and forth. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, if it was all just one, I would be like a little bit let down. Yeah, variety of textures, you know? I f***ing with them flats. But what kind of sauce do you prefer? A hot lemon pepper. Okay. Yeah, with like lemon pepper sprinkles. For sure. See, that's another thing too where it's like I kind of crave variety. Like if you can go wing stopping at like three... Three, three, three.

44:40Yeah, yeah. What's your like top three? Oh shit, I like really, really hot. For real? Like the hottest food they got on that motherfucker. It kinda depends though, yeah. Yeah, maybe one of 100. I ordered a Thai food recently, and it said like one through 10, you could pick your spice level. Yeah. And I think I picked five, and this was a serious mistake. Like it was so much hotter than I ever could've imagined. I can't even fathom what 10 would've been like. It should've been like an eight or something. That's false advertisement for a five. Yeah, I was just like, I don't know. These Thai people, they got up standards for hot i didn't really expect that um so okay like did you do a bunch of label meetings and stuff before you landed with empire or what was the thought process on that yeah we did we did a little bit of running around uh i got invited lvrn reached out uh i kind of we kind of knew a mutual person and uh i was like yeah i haven't come through and especially like an hour-long meeting and it turned into like a six-hour meeting and we sat in the studio played to ask for a load of unreleased, talk business.

45:42And after that meeting, I was really, like, explaining to my team, you know, all the, like, who all is messaging me right now on Instagram. And I was like, man, like, we just, we really need to go talk to everybody. And so we didn't, I say talk to everybody, but there was a bunch more people we could have went and talked to. We did Miami. We left Miami. We left Atlanta, went to Miami. I was in Miami for like three days, left Miami, went straight to California. I was in California for like two, three days, and we was getting ready to fly home. And we missed our flight in the process of us trying to get back to our next flight.

46:20My manager was talking to guys and everything. Guys was kind of like, let's figure something out. I don't want to go nowhere. And we went back, chopped it up, and we definitely figured something out. I don't know 100%, but I feel like Empire, like the appeal, is kind of that you have more control, more ownership, versus some of the other labels might kind of promise you more, but they're also probably going to take a larger share of your income? Yeah, I mean, that's a big thing to me. I didn't do nothing but make the music, bro. That was my whole life. I didn't understand the business. I never really known anything about all the meetings and shit.

46:58I was just kind of there. and then it got to a point where like I started kind of like peeping out like okay this is how it works and then once I realized how like Gazi's got a structure over there and how Empire's like set up I was like okay well this makes a lot of sense in the eyes of somebody who knows that they want to make some money like this makes a lot of sense and I f*** with Gazi and I said like he's a hustler and like Gazi's still hands on like Gazi still love f***ing with the music right so that make it way more interesting no 100 um so when you look at like what you're really trying to accomplish musically like like i'm sure you have like giant dreams for the music and everything does it feel like hip-hop is in a weird place because people like to push this narrative out there that rap is in like a relative low spot historically does it feel like that or does it feel like when the labels are looking at you they're kind of excited because they haven't necessarily it's not 2017 again where they're just flooded with new artists every day i mean i'm definitely something new yeah you know to like what the f**k's going on right now and like i think that's why i get a lot of love is because like people be like boy like we ain't really seen nothing like this yeah but uh as far as like hip-hop being in like a weird spot man i feel like as long as this folks making the music and telling their story, like the culture's always going to beat it.

48:24Like that shit, that shit's stamped, that shit's firm. Like you can't really shake that too much. So like it's just about like the amount of authenticity you have coming through the people that's making the music. Now that's where like shit get a little shaky. Like the hip hop itself's never been an issue. It's just the couple people that come in and go to f***ing up the narrative. Yeah. that's that's really the issue yeah it's a wild time too because i feel like so much of it is just the labels not investing as much like it feels like a couple years back the labels were still just dumping money into new artists so like from somebody like me's perspective there was always just kind of new artists that labels were building up and like turning them into stars and shit and it feels like that process just happens way less now but we also just live in like such a fragmented like information landscape in the sense that there's just so much shit to pay attention to that it's hard for people to become superstars whereas like i look at my childhood it's like all the rappers that i can remember were big names because they all like you just wouldn't know about a rapper unless they had millions of dollars being pumped into already there yeah yeah but that comes back to like us living in this viral age where like you you you really the the labels is damn near like you got everything you need like if you if you're really talented you can really put out good music you got you got platforms that you can put your shit on you can build a fan base yourself like at this point they're looking for you to do all the groundwork so like by the time you've really made a name for yourself then they're kind of like all right let's see let's see let's work together definitely um so your your best songs are like like are they all like 100 % you or do you ever get any kind of assistance in the studio or do you just punch in or you write before you go in there?

50:19No, I just feel like the process used to be I'd write because like Studio time was scarce. Exactly. So I had to be able to go in there and do what I had to do. It was also like I was working 9 to 5 so like I couldn't go to the studio until Saturday or Sunday depending on how it was, especially after my little boy. So Monday through Friday I'm at work. I'm either writing while I'm at work. I'm trying to find a beat. I might not find a beat to like Wednesday for that week and then like really like you lock in with a producer actually get a beat done and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday I might be writing everything I might have seven days to do one song but then I got to a point where my writing process got a little bit quicker and I could do I could have four or five songs ready by the time I got to the studio and shit you know you get to the studio one to take everything and it's like okay I actually made use of this two hours in the studio I had to pay for out of my pocket rather than i just go into the studio and be like i'm finna punch in and then i leave do two hours and leave with half a song or one song yeah yeah definitely you gotta make your money stretch when you're uh at that stage in the career for sure though especially like like i said it was real nine to five like i was really like balancing my bill money with the money that i was using for my kid for how the go to the studio so it really had to stretch Nah, facts.

51:41So, like, how quick would you say it takes you to make a song on average? Oh, shit, man. I ain't gonna lie to you. We're getting to the point where, like, I'm really figuring out that punch and shit. Nah, because, like. This episode is brought to you by Redfin.

52:51I tell people all the time, this is kind of like getting to the league. Like whenever you're up here, it's like, okay, it's time to perform. Like this is what you want. You want the money. And kind of like, I've been throwing situations with, like I told you, you know, I used sometimes to have five, six days to do one song. Yeah. these folks will throw you in a room with 20, 30 people, cut a beat on it and be like, hey, make a song. Yeah. And so I've kind of had to adjust to that, but my punching in process is getting pretty nice. I'm getting to like, if I'm in a good mode, like 45 minutes to an hour for like, but I'm also like extremely hard on myself.

53:25Some rappers would be like, I go in there and I can do a song, I can punch in a song in 15, 20 minutes. And be like, I'm so, I beat myself up so much, they'll have to come in there and tell me like exactly what you're saying is hard just leave it alone right and i'd be like no i think i can do it a different way yeah do you have to like intentionally switch up your flow in order to kind of make your song sound different or does that kind of thing just sort of come naturally so sometimes like sometimes i'd be once again we're all my biggest critics every time i'd be like you you got to switch you got to switch it and then that's having to be like brother why didn't you just vibe and like just natural on that is exactly how you need to do it yeah so it's definitely like i've always had that like sense and like feeling whenever it comes to music just like okay like i've always i've always told people i feel like i have a pretty good ear whenever it comes to music as far as like what sounds good and what don't for sure what uh who's the craziest rapper that's shown up in your dms rapper celebrity whatever uh man it's been a it's been a couple folks that you know i've been like i am uh my boy push ice has been pretty pretty that's hard lately yeah yeah uh shout out shout Shout out to Atlanta, bro.

54:26I've been around TI. You know, I love Luchi, showed a lot of love. So it's a lot of real, you know, big names. It's like, especially like folks that I looked up to, you know, or listened to when I was younger. So it's just pretty crazy. Do any of them have like words of wisdom for you or kind of let you know what they think you should be doing? I mean, yeah, definitely everybody I talk to has been like, everything's been real genuine, bro. Like from like Luchi giving me advice from like, you know, bro, like just performing and like you're going to get used to this to like TI giving me real like life advice and like mental health advice and business advice.

55:01And motherfuckers telling me like, bro, like I've been doing this shit for this long and I've worked with this many people. Like, bro, you hard as hell. Just to hear shit like that is like really, hell yeah. It's just really make you feel like, okay, this is what I'm supposed to be doing. When you put out that project, is there going to be any features on it? Yeah, I'd probably go one or two. Oh, yeah? I'd probably go one or two. We're trying to go Port Child Sandwich Remix. Oh, yeah. We're trying to get it locked in on which way we're going to go. You're being tight-lipped about who's going to be on the project?

55:29Probably me and my boy T.I. is probably definitely going to have one on there. That's a big look? That'd be much. Yeah, that's the biggest feature. As soon as you said Pooh Shiesty, though, too, I was like, man, that'd be f***ed up to hear you on a song with him. That could be crazy. I just did the FDO. Oh, your remix? Yeah, like two days ago, yesterday. Right as soon as we landed here in California. Yeah. I mean, I feel like that's actually kind of crazy. That's like seeming like it's gonna be one of the biggest first day out songs ever. I do know it's true. Me and my homie talk about that shit all the time.

55:58And it's like people give me a headache like pork chop sandwich was the biggest song to end the year. I'd be like nah that boy Shisey dropped and kind of fucked it up. Like we said people have such short attention spans right now. Yeah. For him to go five minutes is like... And I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of hating on the length of the song to one of my homies at first. I was like man it's too long. He should have came with like two minutes. and then like when I find myself listening to the whole thing and still noticing more bars I'm like he knew something with that yeah for some reason that makes it stand out way more he really did five minutes and like motherfuckers will play the whole five minutes in the club you standing on it rapping the whole so yeah nah my boy did it there's so many bars that you just kind of need to think about that shit's crazy he's the last of a dying breed man there's not as many dudes like him man hats off to brook that shit crazy yeah nah facts um okay so uh yeah i guess uh i don't know like where do you feel like you're going from here like what's what's the plan like you got what kind of stuff are you focused on just making more music or just doing promotional shit at this point or what's the what's the plan i mean to be real with you bro i'm just i'm just blessed and happy to be here yeah i'm just kind of you know like going with the punches i'm uh i'm up to two pretty hot singles right now i'm two for two i'm striking it and I really want to perfect this project.

57:19Folks, it's on my ass, like, go ahead and drop, go ahead and drop, go ahead and drop. Yeah. And I'm ready. I'd be on my team's ass and the label's ass about, like, how quick can we get this done? But everybody's stressing to me, like, you know, you get to drop your first project one time. So I'm really trying to keep that in mind, and I really wanted to be a body of work that whenever I presented it, not only represents me well, but it represents all the work that I've been putting in there. For sure. Yeah, I mean, you definitely have, like, and it was weird, because I would have kind of guessed this just from like seeing you in the videos and stuff, but like you have like a very like cool, chill personality that I feel like people are going to really want to fuck with you and get behind you.

57:55Just like real humble and low-key, you know? Yeah, that's the matter. I just try to be genuine, bro. I'm big on morals and respect. You know what I mean? I treat a mother fucker just how they're going to treat me. And like I just, man, like I said, bro, I'm just blessed to be here. Like I told you, I was just working my ass off 50, 60 hours a week for$600. So like to be sitting here doing shit like this is crazy. nah nah for sure I feel like you know it's gonna be uh it's gonna be a big year for you for sure and uh I'm excited to see how it goes yes sir yes sir yeah man um all right anybody you want to shout out anybody anything you want to put out there to manifest into the universe hey man I just want you know continuously shout out to my team shout out to God first and foremost for the opportunity all the blessings my kid my family my my pops my hood my man shit free free little D, free little Scar, free Rx, free JB.
