0:56People love that shit. Yeah. You know, it goes with the little image, little rap image. Nah, exactly. Like, you're young, you're a joint, you're rapping, you gotta get your whole shit blasted. Why not? Yeah, yeah. Let them know. You're really about that life, man. I support it. If I had an artist, that's the whole face immediately. Like Baldacci? What's it called? Yes. Young Baldacci would be my artist for sure. I wanted to tell you a clip. My boy, Dopey, I don't know. You remember my boy? Oh, shit, Dopey. Yeah, yeah, because I met him outside. Oh, what up, bro? What's up? Lock one in with my boy.

1:28Let's see. It's gone, man. I'm supposed to interview him, too. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I brought him for you to lock him in, you know? Shout out to Young Dope. Because he's... I seen him outside of the jail when we were all doing a little thing on Brick Baby's birthday, and he was out there supporting one of his homies, too. He was locked up in the same facility. Okay. Damn. That's dope, man. So, yeah, for the people out there, let's get into it. Why so grimy? Where are you from? Where did you come up at? From the South Central, Florence District. That's really where I was raised in. I did move out for a little bit, for like two years with my pops and shit.

2:05But then I came back to the area and then started game banging and shit. Where did you move for a little while with your pops? To Rialto. Okay. Rialto, California. What was it like out there? Was it kind of quiet? It was kind of active out there too, I ain't gonna lie. Same old bitch. You know, she was really active out there too, I ain't gonna lie. But you were young when you were out there? I was like 15, 16. Okay. Yeah. And so then you, what were your parents like though? See, my dad was, he's from my hood too, but he was just like, he just didn't want me to be part of that life for me. So that's the reason he kind of like took me over to Rialto and stuff and moved out from the area and shit.

2:44But like, I kind of like, I had, like, we just had partners, like me and him, like we was in like, we was close, but like, it was like, we would have partners with each other type shit for me. like we'll get into it with each other and shit like that. You and your pops? Yeah, so like one time I just took off from over there and I left from his house. Like I took the bus all the way from over there. Like I think it was Union, all the way from Union. All the way back to L.A.? Yeah, all the way to L.A. And then I walked there all the way from like Alameda from where the Union is at all the way to my hood basically.

3:13Like that's like 50, 60 blocks. Oh, shit. I walked through 38 streets and all that. No phone, nothing, shit. So nothing popped off? No treacherous at that time? I made it safe all the way to like the 50s where the Pueblos is at and I caught a bus like more to the 70s to my hood and shit. So the quiet life out there just wasn't for you? Nah, it wasn't for me. It was like, that shit was different, way different, you know? What do you think like attracted you to the street lifestyle so much? Just like, like I was in the area like around probably like when I was in like 6th grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, and seventh grade, I was like, grew up around, I grew up in the hood and shit.

3:55And I just like, I already knew what it was and shit. So when I left over there, I was already like over there kind of like banging that shit. Right. Like claiming the hood over there and shit in the IE, you know? But were you somebody where like, you felt like you needed to be from the hood to like, just sustain, to like, for protection and shit like that? Or were you just like, in love with the lifestyle? Yeah, just cause like, I see, I see how my family, yeah, family time, yeah, that's it, really what it was. for sure um okay so uh did you just have like a lot of older homies or whatever that were already from there or how did that kind of play out like my my yeah yeah like like my popsies all his like his people's and his homies like that's how that's how i know dopey and that's how i know like a lot of people like because of my pops and shit you feel me because they like we grew up environment like the same environment yeah like and then i just seen other people come around you feel me like older people and i just knew everything what it was you feel me so i just wanted to follow to the footsteps and i guess should we get a mic for dopey too yeah yeah we all got good man we got a hell of questions for all of us you know oh hell yeah perfect man um so wait do you feel like the older dudes kind of like uh appreciated your energy because you were you were real active and turned up yeah yeah yeah really yeah because they see me like doing my shit so they like salute to my little thing i got popping i guess okay but so you you are officially from the hood when you're 16 when you start rapping when did i start rapping yeah uh really like man probably two years ago really how old are you right now i'm 19 just turned 19 last month okay yeah and was that always like a plan of yours you always uh were attracted to doing the music and everything yeah i was doing it but i wasn't taking it like serious i wasn't thinking it was gonna pop up but like by the time like it just started like developing you feel me at first it was just like people like some people look like certain little people from like around my area like started to recognize me and then that just started going like more mainstream type i guess not mainstream but like like more work people around the city yeah yeah a lot of areas people i get recognized everywhere like that's crazy definitely where where the name come from Really just like I don't know Just like I don't know I just thought like Why you so grimy Like I don't know Is that what people were asking you?

I did 7 and a half Okay But I got early kick out of nowhere So You know But I don't know I didn't think I was ready To get out? No, I wasn't ready. Why? I wasn't prepared. I guess it was out of nowhere. They gave me like five days notice before you go home. Really? You're lying. I looked and I went. It was true, so I wasn't prepared for it, you know?

10:06I didn't come back in a month. And you just went back to the regular world? You didn't put it in a halfway house or anything like that? And I just had a half years that time. I got out one month. Went back in, did three more, but he got out. I just went back to the county for some bullshit, but he got out too. Like last month. Like a month. For sure. So, okay, why you got the 64 on your face? It's my clique. Okay. It's clique, 64. And then the other one just says SS? Yep. Oh, okay. MDF. Okay. And what's the MK? More Town Killer. More Town Killer? Regular, yeah. And then with Mariano, but it's crossed out.

10:53Who's Mariano? One of my exes. Oh, shit. A long time ago, when I was in prison, my first term. Damn, and you got the tattoo while you were in there? Yeah, when I was in there. And she what, snaked you or what? Yeah. Damn. Fell off. Take a basic bit. That's too bad. I'm sorry to hear that. That's straight, you know. You just got to move on. Yeah, yeah, no. Life is hard. You got to get your heart broken a few times along the way. Right, Dopey? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pushing. Don't look back. That's right. Yeah, we always do better. Keep leveling up. Come out, keep buttoning out better, brother. Yeah.

11:25But do other girls always ask about that? Like, damn, you got another girl on your face, huh? I'm going to take it off and put something else. I mean, I want to cover it, but I don't put anything big, you know, in my face. But I'll probably just take it off. Yeah, you can get a laser a couple times. Get a new girl's name on it. Just go to Homeboys, you know? Oh, they do that for you, huh? Damn. That's lit. What's uh what's the loonies right here? It's six four loonies, you know? Okay, that's that's the name of the hood too, okay. And then what's there's one more here too. What's the name of the hood too?

11:56To activate it. Oh, okay. Yeah, to activate it. What's your definition of activated?

12:04Like in the hood, tent up, you know? What do we gotta do? You know out there in the streets? Trying to survive. Trying to survive, you know? And game ain't the same time. You know? Right. But I mean growing up now is different you know it's not the same like like back then we were you know What's the biggest difference? It's not the same. My fuckers a lot of days ain't gonna fight. As a youngster I could say the same shit. You know? Back then shit I would do a squabble you know? Yeah real quick. Fight each other and get up. Nah to do something you know? Hell yeah. He still squabber this shit too.

12:38Not that my fuckers gonna pull out guns and shit you know but. That's the way he was. Nobody wanna fight anymore? Nah shit. You can't be entertained no more. Nah there's a lot of you ain't still breaking the shit. game ain't got any change it's just I don't know shit really different ain't really nothing you can do out here now you getting caught up you feel me

12:58what changes have you seen cause you're a young I'm just a young I just know what I said from my shit how their generation was from our generation we still turned up young youngsters we still turned up but their shit was more I don't know, I could just say more, more crazy, you feel me? It was really more crazy, more vicious back then, you feel me? Right, because if I'm not mistaken, though, Florencia is like one of the older hoods in L.A. that's like a real legendary neighborhood, right? You know, you know. And even the fact that you coming in with somebody like him who's quite a few decades older than you, that kind of stands out, right?

13:36Hell yeah. That you guys are actually tapped in with the older dudes from your neighborhood? For sure, hell yeah, for sure. Hell yeah. And that kind of stands out because I feel like so many people that we talk to on some gangster They're basically like, yeah, we don't got no OGs. Nobody can tell us what to do I'm still young, brother Okay, I thought you were gonna be older Nah, but y 'all still a generation before me, so it's like, y 'all still like 10 years ahead, you feel me? Like way back 10 years back, you feel me? Dopey just comes off like, see, I assumed he had done prison time And I assumed that he was like probably closer to the lead 30s I lost the game.

14:13Yeah. I'm falling. Bang, right to the floor. That's amazing, brother. I'm on some other s***. I guess also because I met you. I met him outside of a jail. I'm hungry, brother. Persuaded me. Definitely. So, yeah. Yeah, like, I mean, as far as, like, being from that neighborhood, though, does it feel like there's a lot of pressure in a way to, like, maintain the image and everything? Like, it's really on you to make your s*** look good, right? I should be crazy out there game like yeah I'm gonna recognize but we began recognize by so many people who like it be crazy like we're running into enemies all type of I'm over here driving in a uber going going down the going down right there yeah some full from watch banging on me through traffic yeah you would get put over to being honest I'm like any videos was like oh look yeah he put up he can he put over by the cousin the random he's passing by just taking their head out this you know it should be like it's not i'm not saying like you know how their generation it's the it's the dangerous i mean i feel like you could have maybe been more low-key if you guys didn't both have your blasted all over your faces yeah you know we know we know we signed the for and shit like so why put a k after a w in your name not your favorite letter i mean you just mentioned some dudes from from watts so is it like is that what it primarily stands for because somebody told me it was from something else okay because i'm familiar with all the the black hoods and watts but not really what's going with the mexican side of oh yeah we but man we'd be for all the all that's like the whole side black neighborhoods mexican neighborhoods from that side all that right dude y 'all it's like damn enemies everywhere did y 'all grow like from your perspective do you guys grow up like having smoke with black gangs or just mexican hoods everybody yeah some some black some black hoots be tripping too you know for sure hell yeah for sure i never i never got into my education but it'd be tripping yeah now it's changed man yeah because it used to be a lot worse yeah so many candle lights every corner that's why i say it's more it was more dangerous but think for me like every corner brother she was really everywhere For sure I mean would you consider one of the things that made you kind of pop out as a rapper to be the the hood vlog that you do with DC baby draco over there She yeah, she kind of did help like what's on she could as how money I think they started going about it So good off that vlog I was like doing that we did that vlog and she I know you know dad getting our name out there, you know at the blue strip on thing they did pictures that people do work.

17:19Yeah, yeah I was already but I was already kind of known like a little bit you feel me like but yeah that vlog did do a little more you feel me helped out more you feel me do you have to get permission from anybody to film in the neighborhood or I mean I do like no we don't not really not necessarily we're not just talking about we're not talking about nothing wrong and shit okay so like you but you understand what you can and can't show in that sort of environment for sure yeah yeah for sure all right that's what's up um so who set that up you know anyone set it up for you or that was just like uh nah cause okay it's dc baby draco he posted on his um story he posted like oh who's um hood day y 'all want me to pull up to and it was like on hood day that same day like i just i just read his story i didn't even follow him with i just read his story and then like he posted on on his story like right away like 20 everybody was up for like 20 minutes and it was like oh what hood vlog what hood day y 'all want me to pull up to him i just hit him up because it was our hood day you feel me so i told him like hey pull up same day he pulled up and we got it we got it the first one with my real birthday yeah yeah i don't know friday 13 it's his birthday there is any awkwardness about having somebody who's not from your there on the hood day or it's all good it was cool it was all homies right there it was all homies and he was chill ago yeah man we had this girl on the podcast last night and she just starts telling us that dc baby draco's her boyfriend and she's like just talking about how good his is i couldn't believe it she's surprised the i mean i had no idea she was gonna say that and then she started just talking all about it i'm like damn good for you what who is she like her name is uh uh chunky barbie oh you know i'm talking about the one from 90s yes never it's crazy to be like even just hanging an hour with a girl who's got big hk on her hand i'm like every girl i spend time with is you know basically just like a regular person like a chill just chilling like casual ladies having that shit in your hand like just i don't know it's just like like i can get used to being around a dude like cript mac but to be around a girl who got that kind of shit on him is crazy I don't know.

19:33Oh, you were with Krimack? Yeah, in the studio. I got a song with him too. What? That's legendary. That's an iconic verse right there. Nah, for sure. We about to do the music video, everything to me, Blanco, and Krimack. Oh, that's the first black rapper you did a song with? Yeah, and then I got a song with G Money too. G Money, I guess he's considered it for me. Yeah, wait, oh, kidding from a black hood, right? Yeah, yeah. Nah, you and G Money together is good. You guys are like the most lit Edgars coming out the city right now. All right. We doing our shit, yeah. Right. I could call you an Edgar.

20:06That's not offensive, right? Nah, hell not. Oh, okay. Fat Edgar. Fat Edgar. But yo, like, Edgar's like, is Edgar like a Southsider thing only? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I think he is. That shit is. I don't know what guard, I feel like if I go with an egg guard over, I feel like my shit look too cut, and it look stupid. And then like Dobie. Oh, I have to start doing it. Okay, the only reason why I say that is because I seen a clip the other day that I was interviewing this Norteño rapper, right? And I said something about his haircut. And I was like, oh, it's kind of like an Edgar in the front.

20:42And I didn't notice it when I was doing the interview, but he got mad uncomfortable and was like, nah, you can't put the word Edgar with me at all, bro. He was really not feeling it. And I'm like, I didn't really think about it at all until later. And I'm like, oh, I guess maybe that's an L.A. term, so they don't like it being applied to them. No, that's crazy. That's crazy. Oh, no. All right. All right. So, yo, that vlog that you guys did, that you had the cops all harassing you and shit. Like, what's your relationship with the police in your area? Shit, they're weird. They get up on us all the time, but shit, they be letting us go like nothing.

21:19We'll be... They just went on shit. Shit. We'll be out the way quick. I don't need to try to be seen, though, but... We'll be trying to get out the way. When they see me, they even pull us over. Regardless. Right away they see our face and they gonna pull us over Just cause they know like who we are in that area They just wanna see what we up to They just wanna make sure we not They have such a car They just wanna do this They just search your car like Randomly, regularly? Probation? Yeah They do Depends who it is Some kind of be just like whatever They just be like They just be like, you know, let's get this shit over real quick.

22:02We'll just be right there, just listening. So music like your full-time thing at this point? Do you graduate high school? No, I didn't. You didn't? Me neither. No. We could still do that shit. Oh, you might want to go back? No, we could do that homeboy. Shit, that shit. It was easy. Why not? Wait, so you could get your high school equivalent diploma through homeboy industries they got school and everything oh they do okay they help yeah they obviously the homies that there's some ways that we're gonna get us in there late you know that's what's up yeah i feel like i wouldn't i probably would but i probably wouldn't at the same time if the music she goes good you feel me right i just think to do later yeah yeah yeah time when i'm already successful you feel me yeah i'm not gonna lie this is probably a waste of time at this point at this time you feel me especially especially i got this like for myself so i could I don't gotta be...

22:56Yeah, that shit's gonna take time on my, you feel me, music things and shit. Nah, definitely. So what kind of music would you grow up listening to? Shit, like the usual shit like Draco, fucking Bravo, Frosty, all that shit. Baby Stones. Fools from Hoover, I listen to them, Fools from Hoover too. Yeah, J-Five, Shaze Poke, Trey Way, yeah, all that. Okay, so mostly like LA artists love for the most part are you listening anything that's from like down south and like that or not really Like what, like whatever Uh, just anything from like outside LA. I'm just curious if that even like applies to you or if you just strictly Or like B.O.E.

23:36Sosa, alright Okay From the Sacramento, shit, I get, he's from Sag, right? Yeah, yeah He's from on that side, yeah Shout out B.O.E. Sosa, man, I had him on here one time, he's actually just hit me up Yeah, he had just recently like my post too, my little picture I posted with my outfit and shit Okay I'm gonna tap you over there. I'm gonna send him a little message. Try to get a little feature. I'll pay you. That's what's up. That'd be a legendary collaboration. I got my little first album coming out soon, so I'm trying to get all type of rappers on that shit. You feel me? Okay, so is there anything about a Mexican dude who's from a black hood that rubs you the wrong way, or is it just whatever?

24:14You don't give a f*** at all? That's damn it. That's them, you feel me? I didn't choose that way. I didn't choose to go that way. Because I just had a rapper on here, Rich Rabbit, who he's from, you know, he's a black dude from a Mexican hood. We got gang of those too. That's regular for y 'all? We got gang of those. That's normal thing, brother. Yeah, we got a lot of them. Prison is too loud. And nobody gives a f***ing name, like the old heads? There's nothing controversial about that? Nah, because they really move, like, south side of the way, you feel me? They don't act black They don't act black They're like straight Mexicans They'll be acting more Mexican than a Mexican person Define act black though Like shit like just try to They don't act I'm not saying like damn You got yourself in a corner a little bit Nah I'll save you though Cause when I was interviewing Rich Rabbit He was kinda saying that like He rocks like acai and purple jeans And like basically just dresses like a regular LA dude And I was asking him like Is there any kind of pressure where they feel like because you're from a Mexican hood that you're supposed to abide by that dress code a little bit more?

25:21But then somebody like you, first name comes in your mouth when you're talking about the rappers you listen to, Draco. I feel like a lot of the younger Mexican cats in LA, they listen to a lot of black music and they don't really give a f***. Not hell yeah. They all give each other a couple of swag and shit. Like that, I guess.

25:45who you haven't really got a chance to work with or anything like who stands out to you that you feel like you can make some dope with it can't even be like people that passed or just like just anybody yeah somebody alive i guess I like um They answer me on that shit Who's really doing that shit? Shit Lefty Oh yeah Lefty I'll do social I know Lefty I know in prison They were in the same Same prison and shit Okay You feeling You like Lefty's music Or are you more into like The antics and the social media shit? I like fuck with his music He's too Right I mean he got a Grammy I'm scared to like mention Different rappers around y 'all Cause I don't know who y 'all beef with Shit, fuck It don't matter We won't let it be known Right You couldn't do a song with an op Even if they were really popping?

26:34Nah There'll be an answer for you He's like, no sir Nah, we done some With some great Nah Richie Yeah, Richie done some shit With some Project Baby Twin You know Project Baby Twin Yeah, yeah, yeah He got My uncle did some shit With that nigga Right, definitely But Yeah Oh, okay. So I forgot to ask this earlier, but um, so your mom actually lost custody when you were nine Yeah, yeah, so what what led to that situation? You know She was just in the streets Yeah, one way or another she from she from a water to I turn around any time for mom. I like that But she from me she from the absolute from she from my eyes.

27:23She is But that's my mom. Was that awkward ever at any point? Nah, not at all. I just grew up like, you know, living my mom, so it was nothing like it for me. Chunky Barbie told me that if I was her boyfriend that I couldn't hang out with anybody from Hoover. Oh, shit. I asked her that last night. Damn. That's when I realized I could never date a girl like that. I'm like, I'm gonna fucking hang out. Like, you gotta stop hanging out with people for me. I'm hanging out with whoever. I'm a journalist, man. You can't tell me shit. I'm fucking whoever you want. Right? Yeah, real shit. That's crazy.

27:55I don't know. Chunky Barbie. I was trying to convince her that Chunky has a K in it. What's the name? Normally, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. She has a C. She's like, no, there's no K. And I'm like, there is a K. She has a C? Yeah, she's C-H-U-N-C-Y. They're the K. Oh, man. Yeah. She's like, Adam, you better not say what comes before the K. Oh, okay. I'm like, okay, I got you. I got you. I'm not fully from here, but I can figure that out. all right yeah you feel like you always date mexican chicks or you could you date a black woman i never did i never did no right i don't even lie i never did anything i never did you think you could though or you think that the the cultural differences would be too much no i could i don't see why not i'm not active did already i know this i know these fools did you guys I feel it, man.

28:52My uncle in the pen, too. I done told him that fool talking about he smacked females from Hoover and some other shit. He already been down for like 10 years, imagine. Okay. That was back thing, generation. He was smacking females from... Pussy's too important, man. You can't be turning up just because of where they're from or the race, you know? For sure. Yeah, pussy's too important. We got to override some shit. It don't matter, man. It don't matter. It don't matter.

29:21So, you grew up saying the N word, I assume? I did, because I just grew up around fucking... I was just going to the IE, bro. IE fucking... I'm going to say nigga regardless. It's a normal thing. A lot of people... They get mad in prison, too, when you talk to that. But I don't give a fuck. Some folks are trying to check these. You do have to watch who you talk to, you know? but like if I fuck with you or like close to nobody I'm here you know but you do that respect so basically nobody could tell you that's just how you came up you're gonna talk okay it's essential you know yeah it is weird because I feel like everybody in the streets pretty much for the most part don't give a and then it's like you see people online complaining about it and that makes like the whole because I'm gonna be real like every Hispanic person I've been around my whole life when I was on the East Coast and out here.
