5:46
okay because that's very touchy yeah you

5:52
little cousin might not like how you
5:53
mention my
5:55
name you heard and then he might want to
5:58
slap a dread out your head just because
5:59
cuz he don't understand that you using
6:01
my name for fame and he don't understand
6:03
that yeah there's a certain way to go
6:05
about certain things when you're using
6:07
certain people name I'm not I'm not
6:09
promoting violence right you say that
6:12
I'm just saying that when you do certain
6:14
things is a reaction for every
6:17
action yeah and you don't know who loves
6:20
me to the death that they don't want to
6:21
hear nobody mention my name in no type
6:23
of illite on no type of social media or
6:26
anywhere like that you heard mhm I got a
6:29
family right he got a family right he
6:33
wouldn't want nobody mentioning his name
6:34
in no ill light now if you want to have
6:35
a conversation it was a way to go about
6:37
doing that what's the best way it's out
6:39
now it ain't no best way to have a
6:41
conversation he got to see me when he
6:42
see me now okay if he reached out he had
6:46
he had the chance he could have reached
6:48
out that that Avenue of talking to me is
6:50
out that's out you heard yeah I would
6:52
have loved to have a conversation with
6:53
that young man to Enlighten him on
6:55
certain things when he was mentioning my
6:57
name I had the same conversation with
6:58
farak
6:59
M how did that go he summoned me uh-huh
7:03
for saying his name oh okay yeah yeah
7:08
yeah you dig yeah if you know not what
7:10
you talking about young man let me
7:11
school you to what you're doing you
7:14
heard and he told me I once said things
7:16
about certain people that I wished I
7:18
didn't as I got older that's what the
7:21
honor honorable Minister Lis far after
7:24
schooling me to a whole bunch of other
7:26
things that he was schooling to me at
7:28
that time when I had that me and he
7:29
opened my eyes to a lot of things would
7:31
you be open to a conversation PRI prior
7:34
I'm talking about like if an artist
7:35
wanted to talk to 100% got in touch with
7:37
me somebody to call me like always got
7:39
this kid want to have a conversation
7:40
with you we think it's very important
7:42
and [ __ ] like that and yeah we have a
7:43
conversation and afterwards you have a
7:44
conversation you can tell people about
7:45
the conversation we had and where it
7:47
went you heard but I don't think he went
7:48
about it the right way especially not
7:50
talking about like people like Rick Ross
7:51
and Meek Mills and the platforms that
7:53
they have that they've been helping
7:54
people with like I watch Meek Mill go
7:56
through so much [ __ ] in this industry is
8:00
including going back and forth to jail
8:02
numerous amounts of times because
8:03
whatever was going on with the with with
8:05
with with in Philly and things like that
8:07
and on top of that he came back out on
8:09
top like a champion and started to do
8:10
things for others that can't afford to
8:13
help their self in these type of
8:15
situations how could you ever talk bad
8:17
about people that's doing these type of
8:19
things if you want to have a
8:21
conversation with them have a
8:22
conversation with them you talking about
8:23
Rick Ross Rick Ross has helped so many
8:25
people and put so many people on how to
8:27
become a businessman how to become a
8:29
business owner like I watch him share
8:31
that wealth I watch him share that game
8:33
like I admire the way he hustles I see
8:35
where he goes that boy don't let no
8:37
money slide like these are people you
8:39
should look at and and and you could you
8:41
could see by the the example that we've
8:43
been setting okay yeah our music is
8:47
rough yeah we grew up in rough places so
8:50
when we talk about these rough places we
8:52
talking about things that we went
8:53
through so you don't have to go through
8:54
it you heard a simple person could
8:57
understand that we're not glor
9:00
what we're talking about these are

14:02
to do holl at at us we could do it right
14:05
now after this if you're looking at this
14:07
we ready right now if you want you heard
14:09
champ we leave out of here you come
14:10
downstairs be downstairs with the bag of
14:12
money and we could do it damn all right
14:16
it's like covered every all the bases
14:19
what do you but what do you look for do
14:20
you look for a spitter like somebody a
14:23
ferocious MC or someone who can make
14:26
songs like as as a CEO so many different
14:29
variables I look for in the artist um I
14:32
the artist could just be stylish I just
14:34
I could just like like he could just be
14:35
like oh he got a hell of an aesthetic
14:38
and if that's his aesthetic it it might
14:40
work for him we might put some music
14:41
behind you and things like that and
14:43
that's being honest but for the most
14:45
part of course we look for some for the
14:47
person that has the the the the illst
14:50
rhms and things like that but I just
14:51
look for a dope artist man at the end of
14:53
the day um there's so many variables
14:55
like I said like sometimes it might just
14:57
be the way to make music some sometimes
14:58
they got I don't I I can't necessarily
15:01
pinpoint it but I know I can tell you
15:02
who a star is I know I can tell you who
15:04
is nasty at rapping I know I can tell
15:07
you a lot about a person when it comes
15:09
to music I'm very good at that and what
15:11
I seen in Keen uh is is something that
15:15
we don't see anymore yeah in this music
15:18
industry in this climate right now and
15:20
not saying that that's a bad thing I'm
15:21
just saying it's not seen as much it was
15:24
when we was coming up we came up in a
15:26
day where these rap lyrics were
15:27
everything and you had to have a pocket
15:29
full of them in case you bumped into a
15:30
crowd joint some
15:33
hiop these these these artists nowadays
15:36
they don't go through that and you know
15:37
things change so I can't shun them or
15:39
talk bad about them for not having that
15:41
aspect of the rap game but when I do
15:42
find artists who do have that yeah oh
15:44

he's Relentless when it comes to making
16:05
music putting music out he's very smart
16:07

16:10
helped me do the whole bird gang two 2.0
16:13
album like we wouldn't had it if he
16:15
didn't put it in the air and he was just
16:17

16:22
whole new generation of husters out here
16:24
whole generation of [ __ ] that's
16:26
