00:00What's up with you bro, how you doing?

00:03I'm good, I'm blessed.

00:04I'm going to a con because I'm a big nerd.

00:06I saw that.

00:07I was thinking like, what's like the greatest, because not a lot of people, you know, in

00:13the rap community are big like comic con people.

00:16You know what I mean?

00:17Yeah, because they're not nerds like me.

00:18Yeah, but what is, what draws you to that?

00:21Because you actually are pretty cool though.

00:23Deep down I would probably say it was just a dope way to escape when I was a kid, so

00:27I'd watch like anime and like, you know, I don't know, sci-fi and shit like that because

00:31I'd rap about it and now it's cool because I can go meet my fans and make a fire bag.

00:37So this is in Detroit, everyone can go check you out.

00:40Yeah, man, it's going to be tight.

00:41You got a new record that just dropped.

00:43Shout out Dilla by the way.

00:44Yeah, yeah.

00:45He's from the Dicks.

00:46Yeah, Ultra 85, I put it out and it was fun and fans have been waiting for it for a really

00:53long time.

00:54Yeah.

00:55And I put my heart and soul into it.

00:57How many years?

00:58Yeah, really, really long time.

00:59But what I've noticed is like, I've been on a run of doing like super hip-hop music.

01:03Yeah.

01:04And that shit doesn't pay the bills.

01:05Really?

01:06Fuck no.

01:07Really?

01:08But it's because I made all my money before doing pop and turn-up shit.

01:10Right, right, right.

01:11And then I've been blessed enough to be in a position to be able to make music from my

01:15heart.

01:16But next year I'm going to fuck them up.

01:17I'm about to drop all this like Playboi Carti trap turn-up shit.

01:19Get a bag and have fun.

01:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:22I mean, it's like if you go, if you play what they want to hear, you know, you get

01:28the streams.

01:29For sure.

01:30But I feel like artists like you has always kind of been, like you said you did pop stuff,

01:35but you never were a panderer.

01:36You know what I mean?

01:37I always feel like you did a good job of saying something with your projects.

01:41You went that way.

01:42I did.

01:43I did my best and I feel like it's really important to speak from the heart, but it's

01:48okay to get money too.

01:52It's okay to get money.
