Section 8 Baby on Being from the IE, Having Bricks, Not Gangbanging & More

0:00No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. I'm in here with my man Lush One today. And this is an interview with, I believe, one of the biggest talents coming out of L.A. right now. I think you're going to do some serious damage as soon as the world really figures out what you got going on. Section 8, baby, in the building. Section 8, baby, man. I appreciate it. Hell yeah, man. How you doing? Brick man, brick man. I'm doing good, man. I'm feeling great, OB. You feel me? I'm always in a good mood. You feel me? Part of my persona. Oh, yeah? On me. You're kind of merry. I'm like, Mary? No, like Mary.

0:31Oh, like jolly? M-E-R-R-Y, like you're just kind of jolly? I mean, I wouldn't say jolly because then I don't want to be known as a jolly person. For sure. I guess if that's a preference that works, then I might be a jolly person. You got a good vibe, a good energy for the most part. You have a lot of bad days or it's mostly good? Shoot, I don't really ever consider none of a bad day, you know? If it's a problem, it's a lesson at the end of the day, you know? There it is. Nothing really. It's never really a bad day. it gotta be a lot of going on for it to be a bad day like you gotta be looking at damn near life for it to be a bad day I ain't gonna lie hey life be life in some times life be life he just went through a breakup so life has life to him recently I ain't gonna lie but the bounce back being critical the bounce back hang out with the section 8 squad man you gonna have hella ass you feel me you gotta hang out with the MacArthur Parks scene yeah you gotta pop up pop up in the section you already know it's good find out who got the most junkies and the most babes oh yeah no like either this dude's gonna leave a multi-millionaire or with like several new indictments so i don't know damn that has been a pattern over there yeah let's just go with the first choice man let's just go with the first choice for me for sure all right so give us uh the rundown of like where you're from and everything okay so section i maybe grew up in a lot of like you know i'm from i'm ontario california because i went to high school and i did my last year of middle school out there so gotta represent as far as the inland empire i'm pretty much everywhere in the inland empire growing up i grew up in la cuente you feel me uh shit at a young age my pops uh ended up getting a life sentence you feel me so we moved out of there we moved to like uh victorville you feel what i'm saying so that was like when you know a young age so he's been down since 2001 you feel me so i've been moving around everywhere so that's just pretty much you feel me that so I moved from Victorville to, shit, I went from San Gabriel Valley to Victorville to Ontario to, you feel me, staying in that area.

2:29That was when you were real young, like when your parents were just moving around for work or whatever? Yep, that's like a real young age, for real. But as I progressed older, I was just in the inland. Was Pops a gang member and all that? Oh, yeah, for sure. He from over there? Yep, yep, yep. That's right. That's right, Free Pops, straight up. So were you raised in a traditional Chicano household? I mean, as far as being Hispanic, I mean, I guess growing up is always kind of somewhat traditional. You feel what I'm saying? But growing up, that situation was out. After I moved out of the area with moms and shit like that, it was just thugging.

3:09You feel me? Just to be real. You feel me? Well, the IE is super diverse. Super diverse. And that's amazing. You feel me? Yeah, I love it. Yeah, like you named all those different places you lived. Like, did you kind of experience the whole range from, like, sort of more nice places to, like, really grimy, treacherous places? I guess it's always been kind of, like, quote, unquote, like, treacherous, I guess. Because, you know, growing up is the normal issues. You feel what I'm saying? Somebody robbing somebody. Somebody, you feel me, sell dope. Somebody in the family do this. Somebody do that.

3:39So it's like as far as, like, treacherous, it was kind of like, yeah, normal. You feel me? I guess, yeah, you feel me? But shit, going out of this situation get better. What's the grimiest place you ever lived? The grimiest place I ever lived? Probably San Bernardino. I done stayed in some houses. Nigga, you ain't even supposed to be there, bro. But it's just been abandoned so long, man. You might as well just post up. You feel me? I've always got the sense in San Bernardino that if you go missing, they might not even go looking for you for a fat minute. No, yeah. You got to remember, as the inland and the hoe, it's a lot of places that you're going to get killed on accident.

4:14But in San Bernardino, you liable to run into some you know what I'm saying like yeah on me so as far as like Inland Empire places San Bernardino got it for sure I remember the first time I went to the Dino was with like a bunch of BMX dudes back in the day on a road trip and we went to like a random weed shop off the highway and then I like posted a clip where you could like see where I was at and all of a sudden my DMs are just flooded with people being like what are you doing in San Bernardino couldn't believe it and were really like warning me like that is not a good place to be leave because you know the people online they're gonna they do they search they're gonna tell you exactly where you at you're gonna be like what the like and they just seen some in the background so they probably like Adam you right here right here right here you're gonna be like uh yeah let's move from this I think I posted like the world's oldest McDonald's or something they got some like McDonald's that's like it looks super up and like old I can't remember but um alright so uh when you start getting in trouble or like where were you at when I started to become part of your life?

5:15I mean, I don't like getting in trouble, but I mean, as far as like dippling and dabbling, I've always been dippling and dabbing. You feel me? I'm, you know, a God-fearing man first, but I used to say I was a God-fearing drug dealer, but so I guess, I don't know. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how you got to the bricks because there's a lot of bricks being chopped up in your music. He starts with the nines. Yeah, but he must have had a lot of bricks. Bricks are left and right. Man, we trying to live like Scarface, man. Like we grew up watching like Scarface and paid in full and like that.

5:45So it's like, you know, coming from where we from, it's like, that's like really like up to say, but that's really to go. Like we trying to be the ones with this and that, this and that now strictly music. You feel me? But, you know, I guess what you're asking, like how I get from there to there. I mean, let's do like the bare bones, like first getting into sound drugs. I mean, so, so growing up, I got like a lot of uncles that got they popping off. You feel what I'm saying? So it's always been around. I ain't going to lie. Like, I ain't really like, I wasn't really like a trapping type person growing up.

6:18Like, I was more of on like, let's come up on somebody. Like, you feel what I'm saying? Like, or like on some, I ain't going to lie. You feel me? Might go, you know, make plans with somebody and go unlock the back door and act like we finna go somewhere and we never go there. And they get, and they come back and they get all that shit on. But as soon as, as soon as.

6:41But like, I had to grow out of that though. Like I had to grow out of that like super fast. You feel me? Cause it's an ugly spirit. Like I don't like looking at people. Like I used to look at people and be like, damn, like I deserve that. Like it ain't nothing wrong with feeling like you deserve something cause you do. You feel me feel like you're capable of doing something in life here, but don't look at the next man and be like, oh, I think what he got is mine. I feel like I should be there. Like that's kind of like, I had to grow out of that. So once I got out of there, being like, that's my shit.

7:06And then I started, you know, doing the little hustles and getting there. Mind you, we might've skipped a couple rows. Me and bro might've did some things to get us from here to there a little quicker than usual that I want to speak about. But you feel me? Other than that, we was just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I think off presentation, off who I be around, it just jump in the game quickly. You feel me? I started, my connections was like easier because I got this connection. I'm fucked with these people, these people, these people. And you didn't make any dumbass moves. You didn't like.

7:33Yeah. exactly like you feel me like i was kind of already laced up like even this last little situation i mean it was just it was i was more on some like not like no slap on the wrist but you feel me i ain't had to go through an issue where it's like you feel me where it's like damn but you took it on the chin like yeah i was just moving sloppy on my part you feel me i mean definitely we're Don't get into that. You feel me? So when did you first get locked up? My first time I got locked up when I was younger. Just pistols and driving around without a license at a young age. You feel me? Probably like 17.

8:12You feel me? Okay. Like around those years. But after that, I was pretty smooth. And then I got booked again. But shit, the drugs and the guns wasn't really the problem. You feel me? Until they started adding up more. You know what I'm saying? Was it like, I mean, being like, obviously the son of someone that's a prestigious guy from... So, like, even speaking upon that, right? Like, to be real with you, I don't even know my... You feel me? My father figure like that. And it's not until recently I started even reaching back on some shit like that. You feel what I'm saying? Because they'd never been around.

8:46Like, mind you, that was like, you feel me? At a young age. Right, right. He wasn't around because he got locked up, but he wasn't around before that as well. I mean, I was a kid, so I don't remember. Okay, so this is from when you were, like, really young. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he got hit with a crazy sentence? Yeah. Long story short, he did some shit that got him life. You feel what I'm saying? You already know what type of shit you got to do to get life. But the new laws and shit like that, it's been, what, 26 years, bro, been down? Damn, so you got hope that he might be able to get out?

9:16Oh, no, he getting out. Oh, really? A couple months. I mean. A couple months? Ooh, let's go. So are you planning on, like, really trying to fully rekindle the relationship and everything? Well, I guess you never really had it in the first place. Yeah, I mean, I don't got no animosity toward anybody. Like, I got kids too. You feel me? So it's like, it was like, I was just thinking back, like, damn, like, even being in the county or whatever, like, I'm like, damn, I want to be around my son. I feel f***ed up. And then my grandma, she's like, damn, you're doing the same thing. You're positive. I'm like, thinking about it.

9:42I'm like, damn. So how I miss my son, this nigga might have missed me the same type of way this whole time. I'm like, damn. I mean, it's pretty obvious that, like, anybody would in that scenario, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. And you missed a lot of the important, you know, like I was just somebody said to me the other day, like you got to think like as a dad, think about the role that you have in your kid's life where to your kid, every little thing that you can do, like the fact that you can think of a joke off the top of your head that actually makes the whole room laugh or the fact that you can throw a ball or that you can drive a car or ride a bike or whatever, like to your kid, you are a superhero to them because they don't know how to do.

10:20and meanwhile from their perspective you literally know how to do everything on earth and you kind of miss that but like does that make you want to like rekindle that to a certain not rekindle it because yeah like it's crazy because you don't really know like i ain't gonna lie though like shit like that kind of regular though you feel me like i preach like section eight babies is like a foundation like you feel i'm saying like we speak for the people that came up the same way mom not having no money dad not around like you feel what i'm saying so we kind of like trying to if we we come from the same shit but we're also trying to break a generational curse as well like you feel me so rekindling is for sure like that's at the end of the day it's like of course i want to have that relationship so that that's dope that you have that maturity and you're not like there's a lot of people in that scenario they're not able to like remove themselves from the trauma of the whole scenario yeah and then they wind up like being super like I get bitter you know what I'm saying oh yeah yeah yeah yeah you feel what I'm saying like but if it's section eight what that really means like is like pretty much government assistance like if you like if you're a mother yeah yeah raising a family and you ain't so it's like the kids that grew up in the low-income apartments that are you know subsidized by the county or the state type right that's like that's what that means to you essentially right so the people that didn't really get a chance or were overlooked or you feel me and then like guess what we here and we all live right there yeah we missing out on opportunities but at the same time we're gonna figure out how to get to where we need to go you feel me and it might be looked upon in a negative way but honestly it ain't shit that negative to us i ain't gonna lie shit i mean do you ever tap in with that clothing company section eight oh no i'm gonna plug you in with them yeah that's Obvious collab, right?

12:09That'd be super sweet. No, they been around for a second, too. They been around. I like that brand. I like that brand a lot. I'm me. For sure. I'm me. Okay, so when you start thinking about rapping? I, like, to be real with you, bro, I did not grow up on some rapping shit. I wasn't niggas just trying to make beats on the counter. I love music, though. You feel me? I'm very diverse when it comes to music. I love all types of music. I listen to the average shit probably somebody listens to. but I listen to R &B, women's R &B. You feel me? I like all types of shit. But as far as being a rapper, I really had to see it for myself.

12:45Different people that's coming up. Obviously, you see a bunch of young people coming up, being around. And I kind of just wanted to figure out my own lane because I'm like, I know what to talk about. You feel me? I just don't know how to lay it down. You feel me? But now I do. But you feel me? So I didn't start rapping shit. From before I went to jail, my music career timeline to the outside view, my first tape I dropped five five months before I went to jail so the world so if we're not counting jail time or anything like that I've only been doing music for six months so what year was that that you dropped 2024 okay so you dropped the project and you got locked up for two years yep okay so okay so when this dude dropped like I don't know what page it was but it was one of like the the new west coast type shit yeah yeah it was one of them like yeah exactly shout out shout out all them the new west coast shout out to you feel me because they they showing love off the strength like you feel me and that's a good i've never asked like sometimes i ask and shit like that but i like all that was no promotion like i never paid for none that shit was just off the strength so i was like damn good looking and i ain't gonna lie i thought that you maybe did pay for promotion at that stage because it was like your music didn't have when i no traction yeah it had no views yet it literally like 2 000 views you feel me and i was like who the hell is this kid popping up out of nowhere you feel me like like no those pages know that they need to create characters or they need to get behind people so that they have people to talk about you know because a lot of those food pages let's be real they like get by on talking about lefty you know so it's like if they're just sitting around waiting like nah we're not gonna post him until he pays us then they don't really got somebody to talk about but i feel like with him they kind of identified the star power probably pretty early yeah i get you apparently they did because like as soon as i seen it i was like first of all you don't rap like anything that we hearing out here right now at all you feel me like and like okay like i'm just gonna say it being rasa like you don't rap like any mexican i ever heard you feel me like because like i mind you i'm hispanic you feel me so i love being hispanic you feel me you're like guatemalan or something these other i'm hispanic and i'm native american okay oh that's what it is so uh but even as far as that i got i'm not an essay you feel me so it's like i'm not gonna make a similar music to you know a couple people around i love their music it's cool it might not be something i i listen to all the time but i can dig it you feel me because i'm hispanic at the end of the day i got hispanic parents i got family that's a part of you feel me that that type of lifestyle too you feel me but well yeah clearly yeah i mean like come on like yeah but i mean beyond that like just the cadence delivery like i was like it really stuck out and i instantly was like i was hitting everybody up i was hitting this fool up i'm hitting brick baby one of the first people like we were just talking about before the interview started i showed brick baby i was like look at this kid right here you feel me and he was like damn we played it on the no jumper music stream instantly i was like this is my favorite rapper right now you feel me and i want to say that's maybe within a week of you getting locked up damn like right before you feel me like Like we reacted to that.

15:54I think it was the Feet Tender video. Yeah. Yeah, I think it was Feet. Was that the first one? Everybody liked that song. I ain't going to lie. Everybody did. Everybody liked the Brickman song. I hate that song. Brickman. Chill, dog. I swear I do. I feel like I'm being attacked right now. No, like, and it sucks. Like, I just feel like I got way better songs than that. But like, but when I did that song, though, that's when I realized like, oh, like, I had to dumb it down on that song, if that makes sense. Like I wanted to be a little more cartoony or I was like, I was like, man, I want to, I don't want to grab attention from this group of people.

16:26I want to grab attention from, you know, the younger, the younger crowd. And I feel like I made a song where it's like, I could still talk my shit, be me, but be on to where it's like, okay, this person might not sell drugs or this young might look, look up to shit like this. So let me purposely try to format this and hopefully you feel me. Now that shit got 80 ,000. It probably would have been up more if I was able to, you feel me, do all this that they doing now reels and all that shit because that shit really they wasn't really doing too many reels like that before especially since i'm 75 but yeah yeah i mean yeah like especially now like everybody just making short form content to try to get people to watch their for sure well like when did you really start to feel like people were latching on like as soon as you drop music did you feel like oh like you could feel the fan base accumulating it was really that song I ain't gonna lie Once I did that song Like I busted Just a little quick Freestyle video It went up I took that little post down But that shit went up Then I posted the video And I was like Damn like okay Like that's what really like Oh you could do this bro You feel me You could do this I think you just need To put your face on the screen And talk crazy Cause I'm different You feel me Like you Like I'm not rapping Like nobody else You know No disrespect But like most people Ain't really on What the fuck I be talking about You feel me Cause I'm not Really I'm playful with it But I'm not kinda wasn't really fabricating shit too much either.

17:47Like, you feel me? I'm just making it fun, but at the same time, it's like, before the rap probably boomed because I'm really out here, people know me for a certain type of, you feel me? But you have to have studied hip hop in some capacity. Oh yeah, always, always. I just never made music myself. Saying things like I ain't trying to be stuck up in the can like some chili beans, you feel me? Like, you have to have like an understanding of metaphors and some of these. Like, I knew what to say. It was more of like just laying it down. that was really the only part but she didn't got that figured out it's only one way to go now you feel me up because okay it's such a cliche thing to tell people that they rap like draco or that they remind them of draco or whatever but i feel like a lot of the people that we say that that they're draco clones or whatever we're kind of talking about the flow and that they rap in like a specific style but i feel like with you you do rap in a way that i see as being kind of influenced by Draco but I also feel like you say inventive funny weird things and that is really actually like the biggest contribution from my perspective Draco is like yeah he flow wise and everything he was really interesting but also like to me a lot of it was just the creativity and like the sort of bizarre style linguistically I'm actually you don't even know how much I appreciate that you just said that you feel me cause I ain't gonna lie that's my goal you feel me that's like that's what I want to put out That's what I want to be No I want to be Talking that shit But I want to put my own Into it I want to make it funny I want to make it Like you feel me I want to Like that I'm glad I heard that right now Me For sure Hell yeah For me Nah for sure I feel like When I listen to your That is a It's like a similar Reason why I still go back To listen to Draco And I love Draco too But I love Draco As far as like As an individual Like more than rapping Like you feel me Cause I just Like that's the type of lane Like it's only a few people That be like California whether it's IE, LA, whatever the case may be, where it's like, oh, yeah, he probably really on that or people know he really on that or he doing that and he independent, he making rap money.

19:48You don't know what else he's doing, but you feel like he probably doing something on the side. He's somebody, you feel me, for sure. Right, and you also kind of remind me of Draco too because you're not technically from a gang, right? Well, I got a collective, Section 8 Babies. Okay, but that's like your own thing. Same thing with him. He had Stink Team. Exactly. He created his own movement, but he didn't get it with a traditional hood. If they want to label it, what they want to label it, it's fine. But to me, it's a collective, all like-minded people. You feel me? But especially when you were younger, that must have taken some courage.

20:23I'm sure at some point there was somebody trying to get you to be from somewhere.

20:29I mean, yes. Actually, you 100 % right. I ain't going to lie. Everybody want me to be. I'm so loved. they like oh yeah just me but at the same time you type shit yeah but it's like yeah i'm on my own damn at the end of the day i'm my own man i make my own decisions for myself you feel me i don't listen to nobody especially somebody that i don't know or don't practice what they preach you feel me like but over here nigga we all in the same tip do you feel like like the ie is a little bit more open-minded to things like that you know i'm saying because like like what well as far as like there's so many hustlers out there and people really get into the money and all that And I know there's like a lot of gang politics out there, but it's like it's different in L.A.

21:10where it's like, OK, some of these gangs and like the structures they have been around since the 1970s. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. On me, on me. Gotta give respect to those. You feel me? But it's so much new going on. It's like, you feel me? 2026. Yeah. It's like probably hundreds of new different shits, different. I don't know. Just changing. You feel me? Whether it's for the good or for the better, you know? But do you feel like part of it is because you moved around as a kid so much? Yeah. No, that's really what it is. I ain't going to lie. That's really what it is. You feel me? Kind of showed you that there was more out there.

21:43But I'm thankful for that, too, because I'm going from so many different areas. I only fuck with joints. Like, I only fuck with, like, you know what I'm saying? Somebody that's validly credible. You feel me? That can go boom and boom and ask somebody else and be like, oh, yeah, I know, bro. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, you feel me? What was like the influence As far as like Ism Considering like You know You got Holt right there That's one of the biggest blades Oh yeah And Pomona and all that Shit I hear a lot of ism In your raps Yeah Like you know We Section 8's We on Shit we was on the bricks We always on the hoes You feel me Bricks and hoes Nigga you feel me They just always be lying That nigga I only rap about hoes And bricks And this and that And this and that That's all I know That's all I know Nigga I'm trying to say I'm trying to get in this rap shit.

22:30Save me. Shit. Come on. Come on. Come on. But yeah. So like, was like sugar free and all that? Sugar free hard on me. Is it influence? Yes, for sure. Like on me, him, who else? We already said Draco. Oh, I love Rio. Rio like really like this, like my wave type shit. Like him, like his shit might have went down, but that's for sure up there with me, bro. Shit. That's really where I get an inspiration from. people like that on me yeah real legendary crazy as a rapper exactly he changed the game exactly exactly so it's kind of crazy because like as soon as you started really getting like you drop your first video you feel me you start to get a little bit of motion and then within a matter of days you get snatched up basically yeah so like long story short bro like i was kind of living life on and on top of that i was getting hard and i ain't like i'm from southern california ain't like we do drugs.

23:28Like you feel me? Like anywhere, yeah. Like just, shit, I'm not doing no fetty. So let's clear that. Let's, let's, let's. And I don't be doing, and no crystal, not on purpose. You feel me? Mind you, I'm an A popper like back in the day. If I'm on the road, I'm chewing on some E. So did Section A accidentally do some crystal? Maybe, like you feel me? Like, but accidentally. I ain't over there like, yeah, rack me up. Yeah, nah. The MA and MDMA. You being a powder, you, we blowing down thousands. we up the club. Yeah, we bound us. Not everybody. I can't speak for everybody because these two individuals don't fuck around.

24:02But sex mate, I might bust a Chris Brown in the club like. You feel me? I knew I liked this guy. I'm a slow stash. But you decided to leave that behind at a certain point? Yeah, I don't fuck around no more. I'll just be smoking and shit. I drink. I shouldn't even be drinking. So at that time, you were just kind of like. I was everywhere, bro. I was doing too much. Like, and I'm popping it and should probably been a little more humble. Well, you got a snowflake for your earring. That's got to be a Coke reference. No, that's from before. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we just icy, man. We just icy, man. Like, you feel me?

24:39Like, the snowflakes, like, it ain't. You like snowboarders. Oh, yeah, you got it on you, too. All right. Yeah, I be around the snowboarders, man. The people that love to ski. You feel me? Aspen is beautiful to this time of year. Oh, me. Oh, me. In the Feet Tender video, were you buying that chain right there? No, I had bought another chain that I got at the house. I just, you feel me? Hard times come to the hard shit. So I ain't got a rope for that one. You feel me? So, but yeah, I had bought another chain out there in Vegas. Because that's like right before the time we're talking about or right during in like the midst of it.

25:12So I was like, and I can kind of tell like this dude is like. I ain't going to lie, bro. Like it was so organic. Like I could wake up the budget good. like I could wake up and be like we could shoot a$3 ,000 video we can go blow this shit we can go blow that because the budget and the daily you feel me what I'm daily you feel me getting is like nothing you feel me so I you know exactly so like right now it's like you feel me I'm trying to stay strictly music which I am you feel me and it's gonna work out but before it was like I didn't need to go ask for a management or I didn't need to go try to reach out to a label or I didn't need a label or even when the labels reach out to me like I didn't nigga my Even when I was in jail, my girl was like, you don't see who's in your DMs?

25:53I'm like, who? He's like, this person, this person, they trying to get you to, the least he give out is 200 ,000. I'm like, damn, I never really cared. You feel me? Like now it might be - Is it because it didn't seem real to you or what? Nah, because it's like, we talking about 200, 300, like I ain't gonna lie. Me, let me not say too much, but, nigga, Cody Million, like, it was, you feel me? Oh, it was already good at Stone. Like Millionaire, it was already on the way. You feel what I'm saying? Like, without this music, but. But did that get f***ed up in the situation that got you locked up? Or was that, like, your hustle?

26:29Like, did that just basically come to a screeching halt when you got locked up? Oh, yeah, man. That s*** is over with, man. It's Section 8 pure rapping. That's right. Even if you don't think he's not rapping, like, this is all music. But you just, did you, what did you actually get locked up for in 2020? So, two pistol cases, some work, you feel me? obviously some birds and shit like that and uh just bricks and holes shit they rated the studio? is that accurate? no so a studio nah nah nah okay that's like the rumor on the playground nah nah see that's the crazy thing I don't even you feel me I only conversate with my collective of people but yeah you know they gonna make speculations oh yeah for sure for sure for sure long story short I guess I was around with the wrong people at the wrong time uh shit jealousy got involved whatever the case may be i'm over there moving fast snorting getting drunk all types of driving around stupid you feel what i'm saying hot boy you know yeah and so uh they ended up putting a tracker on my you feel me and booking me at a you said where studio no no no studio um i ended up getting booked at this little telly i was running up and then uh i ended up getting booked again for the same during the same time and then that's that was pretty much it but you know i got the back in Riverside County, I had got the best at Greenbergs and the Greenbergs, they help you out every single time.

27:52How much dope they actually catch you with? Some keys. Really? Yeah. How'd you only do two years? Damn, Adam. What? It's a drug case. What you think you're going to do life for some coke? A key sounds like a lot. A key is a lot, but like a key a lot back in the day, like you're going to get booked for a key, but you feel me? If you ain't got no 10 keys, you either going to the feds or it's a nonviolent crime. Like, you feel what I'm saying? Keeps a key for personal use. Yeah, that's like three days. But yeah, no, if I get caught up now, though, I'll probably get booked for some time. You feel me?

28:25Well, yeah, was that your first offense? But hold on. No, no, no. We're not just going to scratch and move ahead like you didn't just ask me. Bro, I'm just trying to figure it out. Like, let's just be real. Like, you feel me? At the end of the day, Section 8, the Section 8 collective, nigga, we don't condone or no, like, you feel me? You handle your shit, you get in trouble for something, bro. You feel me? You stand on that shit every time, bro. never be around no weirdos no people that got to say anything that talk with none of that not i mean i don't know if that's what she was implying but i was just trying to picture what what whack 100 would say oh yeah i mean if whack 100 he know his shit so he know like oh he just got hit with a drug charge so yeah that is like i mean like like you said if anything i ain't get caught up with no like 15 bird five birds like you know i was just hustling like got caught up You feel me?

29:12Aren't they also pretty lenient when it's your first drug case like that? Yep. I mean, yep. They're not going to just give you 30 years for your first offense, but then if you have a couple. I don't even think you can do 30 years to begin with. For real? They don't do it like that. No, you're not going to get 30 years. At the time, though, in 2024, bro, my lawyer told me, he was like, it's the best time to sell coke. You feel me? No, my lawyer really told me. But she would have told me. I got the best lawyer in the city. I can call him right now type shit. Like, if people really want to feel like they want to ask too many questions, like, now you.

29:45I wasn't like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying. But, you know, the outside looking in, always going to think of some crazy shit like that. But, I don't mean. But, I mean, like, ultimately, if anything, they going to let you out. And then you on the radar at that point. Yes, for sure. Exactly. See when he started. You're on that board. Mandatory. Mandatory. Hey, this dude's free. You feel me? Keep a lookout. Tight shit. And that's why they won't give you a super stiff sentence your first time, which I'm like, okay, you feel me? All right, Brickman, let's see what you can do.

30:16That shit was so funny, though, because mind you, I still had to hustle up some money. I only had to do five years. You feel me? So half of that. You feel me? So boom, boom, boom. It was so funny, though, because I was supposed to turn myself in and I need to get to the dough. At the time, I already had a kid, just had a kid, and my girl was pregnant. You feel me? so I was like I gotta get this dope man they can wait you feel me wait is this the legendary baby shower hell nah I threw that baby shower before that was the first one or what yeah that's the first one but yeah long story short bro I went out to Vegas nigga was hustling in Vegas bro I woke up one morning I'm drenched nigga it's hot in Vegas you feel what I'm saying I'm drenched in sweat I'm like damn baby what the fuck you ain't paid electricity or something I'm like where the electricity box I went outside to go turn my electricity on I was like damn That's how they got you So I was out there in Vegas Stuck for a little bit On me Regular But wait so I do want to talk about Adam did you see This was super viral Maternity pictures I did yes Actually it was before I knew about your music for sure I just thought it was like some crazy dude with a face that's so sad i just thought it was like crazy i was there making fun of him so yeah oh yeah i didn't get here on the making fun of it i was just like damn a solid like that now like saying that's how i've always seen atm richie with the a solid face tattoo is i'm like oh like it's like that now i didn't know a solid was going to become the level of a face tattoo or a baby shower yeah okay but like obviously like what i think a lot of people are missing is it Looks like you spent an insane amount of money on that baby shower.

But I had it at the time, so it didn't really matter. You know what I mean? They were like, I think the main thing was like, okay, it's one thing for you to be dripped in a solid, but Shorty is dripped in a solid as well. How do you think people know? I didn't see nothing wrong with it. I'm like, I'm going to be older and looking back at this like, son, look at this. Yeah. Yeah, we looking crazy right there.
