of these when we can so uh right here
next to me the man himself King James
what's up brother on with head we'll
have King James been real being real
welcome to the show man we've been
talking about doing a podcast for awhile
and I finally got you you're busy man
the kids got a job you don't say a
reverend doing not doing your things
that we finally got on the same schedule
where we can make it happen we lock and
load docking loaded so uh yeah man I'd
like to talk about friendship wise
spirituality wise music wise so I think
that we can definitely take up an hour
to you know I'm saying bringing for some
of these questions and stuff first of
all I'm gonna give you a shout out just
to kind of give some background on who
you are I always give you a shout out
man because like when I was going
through finding myself as a believer God
called me down a specific path it was so
hard on me man I was almost was going
crazy man like wanting to do this but
didn't want to do that though I wasn't
getting those phone calls from those
churches to come perform anymore but
then all my friends were and they kind
of did something to me man I didn't
people distance themselves from me you
know and that was hard and but through
that whole journey you've always been
there
you've always like some people wouldn't
do any music like nah can't even get on
song with them I'm just still do shows
and we killed shows together lately we
still did it man so you did it dying to
go you you never you you never left you
thought what you've always been a friend
like the Bible says that's closer than a
brother man shout-out to that this was
one of the real this is well or does
work this is why I retweet and reshare
all of this stuff that we work on
together even his solo stuff I love
that's what it's about so um
what about the world mean what can you
say cuz it's bad I'm a couple years
removed from it I know who I am now I'm
a believer but I'm aa I'd like to ask
the bigger questions like what what did
you see around that whole time of going
through that stuff man
so when we're going through all that
yeah cuz you know I mean you're all seen
it man I'm you know it happened all
right
Oh like you went through some stuff too
right I don't come help but all I see
like I just see that like it's a journey
all of you gotta go through things to
get to a certain point
well pull us through different
situations become stronger and through
that it make you stronger and also show
you that a lot of people ain't what they
say they are no one said what exactly
the titles don't mean nothing it does
the accent don't follow it so whatever
it is this show I've been doing and
where I grew up in the streets and in a
day I know really people scare easy you
know real from fake anyway and everybody
want to leave out traditional stuff and
sometimes something that we go through
in God use us we just ain't no
traditional people don't saying and
that's why we reach the masses in this
way and they reach them in that way yeah
because God uses a different way but I
want to take them time to understand it
you know I'm saying maybe that's where
you know the I guess the other personas
or other name that you use been real
yeah
there's that kind of where that's kind
of like a code of ethics y'all see what
he code you know things just something
what I get that from me is like I've
been here real tattoo on my back like
long time ago before everybody start
saying oh I'm real you know everybody
saying and I watered down because people
say that but they be fake and they be
doing they be lying I'll type stuff
telling well I been what I be saying is
I've been real you can check my
background from the way I raised to I am
today everything I do I'm always just
uninstalling and just straight up and
down with I can't lie in my model will
you can't fake being real so no matter
how much other people try to make them
say the same a certain way or a certain
way it always gonna show in the end so
at end of day when you get to know me
you be around me you know and you'll see
like they do have been real from
beginnings we make scientist a Yoda
hanging bee Barry jr. though my dad but
I mean that's the thing man like you
know meeting people it's a facade bro
that's so weird and the thing about it
you don't think that we know this fake
people in the street we know straight
people on the jobsite
they fake people here but you feel like
we come from like the church background
you feel like gotta be real in church
below you know there's a there's a quote
that uh what's name Lauren Hill always
said she said everyday people lie to God
too now what makes you think that they
won't lie to you so we feel like church
is a place of honesty and originality mu
and beat themselves but it be just as
many people do in the churches like that
right free tooling DQ linear body just
because they got a title not exempt that
they were the worst one but they were
exactly but not all but they would come
in would say the Bible tell you status
show yourself approved unto God work
need not be saying right dividing world
shoe no I'm saying instead for yourself
and get it for yourself because in
anybody can say anything but market
mouth can say anything but actually show
everything yeah so it in today you just
you baby tell you about it yeah as part
of almost like Jesus says like you know
saying you confess me with your mouth
but your order for your hearts fall from
me like you don't do the things you tell
people you do you talk you know what cuz
that was like you know it's applicable
man like Jesus always had a problem with
the people who said one thing and did
another mm-hmm like you acted like this
but you don't treat people that way or
you you have these rules and regulations
that you put on other people but you
don't hold yourself to those those same
standards right so shall i body holding
us down in the chat right quick I see
Jamie ruckman out there right now J
Rodman Zhang he said he's been there
from the street from the Jumpman he
never left
bin Laden Sadr Dame geo what's up G oh
brother
good to have you here too yeah let's um
so the thing is I'm saying whenever me
and you met I didn't know you in the
street I used to live in AB more
I went to school in a scam to kind of
middle school there's a third some time
you know I'm saying but I didn't know
you I'm a little years older than you
yeah how are you 31 31 I'm 34 so I was a
couple years ahead of you we know some
of the same people all our relatives you
know Roland's the Indians and stuff over
there so but I didn't know you in the
street I was somebody um I think it was
King David he had a yet he had one of
your album covers he was just telling
your album covers out no CDs just having
trouble with track listings on it they
do inside the key and Dave you know you
don't send the cover to this day is one
of the hottest covers I've ever seen is
you with a backpack on fully titled up
and you had the crown of thorns on your
hips out to be supreme I was awesome
awesome album cover man even to this day
I've seen that and I was like oh this
gutter right here is gospel and you chat
it up you know I'm saying I got to get
in touch with this dude so I called you
a this is what I have to offer I'll do
websites I do this we do shows and we
got up and that's just kind of world
friendship started oh it was in the
church I didn't know Eunice Street what
type of person was you in the streets
because you rap about it in your song
your songs is almost about living
vicariously through the past of who I
used to be that guy he's is he dead is
he buried is it you can he come back is
he still there where do you like like
what kind of person you don't say was
you man in the street cuz I don't I
didn't know that person y'all from the
street no I came with the album from the
street to the church because like when
you really change like if something
really gotta change about you and when I
did change when God pulled me out the
street it really changed my thought
process changing from who I was and the
things I had in my mind to do the people
they crossed me a certain way oh but my
just my whole thought process but like
I've always been a joking type dude I
learned to play a little laugh I love
have fun I love do all these things and
there never will change in my life but
like I've been through a lot like my dad
was in prison when I grew up no one
saying everybody else called me my mom
used to get beat don't send s called me
I grew up I seen know some people get
shot I seen friends die I say
my family members turned into addicts I
seen these type of things so whatever it
does scald me mentally in our type of
way but you can let your environment
change you to be a bad person or you
gonna need to change you to grow and not
wanna do the thing that you see but I
start falling to them ways because
that's just why I was wrong oh yeah
probably a violin but in the end like it
was on me if I wanted to be the same way
or change but like a ruthless man like
when people cry I ain't kill hurting
people and meeting the enemy shooting
somebody mean none of me I wanted a kid
like you know when you're young
everybody I wanna buy that I wanna buy
that you wanna back like in the hood
that's all you think I want about you
wanna kill somebody you want really yeah
I was a I was a bad kid and I was in the
girl I never like wanted to kill anybody
oh no no like y'all wanted to kill
somebody borrow it we've had like a rain
like a code of ethics like it just
something that you won't do for someone
watching all them gangster movies and go
Ryan gangster stuff so you like a white
guy to kiss me back yeah but like is it
weird when I like nah I've sitting at
Supercross but like did you what was all
I could get people getting tattoos end
of the teardrops yeah I got my army
killed some missile strike but like
there's this super like crazy thinking
in it Wow and like people never
understand you die tell us my last night
at the show we did last night
Oh shiny little for about redemption
last night man listen people don't
understand how much like this music that
watches you should support local rappers
and whoever would like do this and this
right up you never know how much this
keep them focused yeah you never know
how much like this keep people connected
to God and through my went through a
divorce I went through all court system
I went through our different type of
stuff
and like I said man like this is music
it's the main thing that kept me focused
it kept me connected to God and it kept
me safe if I have news I'll been back in
the streets being back in the street
easy cut my temper I do tell my dad's an
outlet or listen to other people music -
no writing write record yeah really
staying focused and let's know people
musing on saying because like it's so
minute song like to the day I can get my
phone right now and play that closer
song no song no I like it like these all
like did they keep you they keep you
afloat and they keep you rolling man
and then the Lord that like when we go
to these shows and do this thing like
that Lord we show each other I love it
because I never had too much of that
everybody was just hard it was our heart
gangster stuff no emotion no man I
appreciate you I love you know like it
just everything was let's just go crazy
yeah so like it's a different feeling
like no I'll be telling I told last
night right
I ain't only trying to be efficient
Nunley things but this all I'm used to
because I'm used to people being fake
and if you cross me I got to do this you
caught my god do that so I just stayed
from people but the thing is like I
learned through the process that
everybody ain't the same and you do got
to open up because that like so you
different have a move with people man to
show you that people really do care
about you really do you still have
standard standards too though deafness
like you're not like you just hang
around cuz it's shady people in the
child regardless you know but ain't
nobody there's a persona there they you
know you think it's a pastor the pastor
be doing wild stuff jump you know I'm
saying it so like you kind of think that
I don't for me it was like even with the
government thing I thought that like
these were good people
I righteous people or you think that
just cuz you go to church or you family
praying and I don't seen people praising
God and turn around in custom body I'll
go in the old folks in the middle of the
church and like had to be run out in the
middle of worship like we're all humans
man and we can I can always you know I
like to point out the little weird stuff
in the churches and all the stuff out of
bed we don't be I'm saying we like
traveling going all these serves a lot
of stuff people don't know oh but it's
just people in general man whether
you're in the street whether you're in
the church whether you know Islam or
whatever you have no religion this just
people are just weird in general you
have been through a lot of stuff and
psychologically might be all for shout
out you know you have to deal with these
people
in everything they're not just in
churches it's not just crazy religious
people mmm it's just crazy people
everywhere everywhere you know so it's
really hard to just pinpoint what were
these people are whatever the case I'll
only be here um
so being being in the street coming up
you know I'm saying I guess that's I
mean that's not really unique though I
mean that was kind of like the average
thereby hangs a verage story you don't
know an average testimony and whatever
but like what made you want to change
though because you was going down that
bad road just kind of it's almost like
like the path of default like this is
where we go this is you know what's the
promises the penitentiary or the grave
right if I keep keeping this lifestyle
up what caused you to want to change in
the water it wouldn't I'm sorry it
wasn't under God because I never like I
don't know that's good or not but I
still don't care about dying that's I'm
not no been scheduled yeah just being
honest why was y'all y'all y'all guy did
but I also got old I know like I got so
roofers I never care about dying under
stuff but the thing is like growing up
the way we grew up I never talked too
much about it but growing up the way we
grew up
no I'm saying no central heat no central
out when it's cold in the wintertime you
freeze you wanna be with the Bob to
quilt song what do you want bed with two
quilts on a jacket jeans on tennis shoe
all that stuff you don't you go to sleep
in when it's one Italian the house in
the house
no Santini rule when it rang by the
stove yelling oh you know you turn north
and wait for my arm stepdad to go out
the dope and chop some wood up and bring
it in and put it in a little log heater
well you know nor senator dying
quick like this is what we went through
but like I said I don't think I don't
look at the way I grew up like it's
tougher than everybody else could a lot
of people went through it too no I'm
saying when it Ryan get the packs down
on saying put the pack down to catch the
rain hold it right now but like I said
as I grew up I just look at certain
friends I had I never hated on the back
but I longed to have what they had no
I'm saying like a dad in my relationship
or my mom being able to do this
I work two jobs no I'm saying solder the
things that other kids can help we
didn't but she's doing that to pay the
bills and stuff and like I said I can't
say that I just went through this super
tough time then we weren't getting like
oh we got stuff we need a lot that we
won't it so I was normally it wasn't
like man Oh jack I mean maybe steam yeah
but it was just still glad it was
digging stuff we won't Arvin was an
eighth grade
no one said my mom out they had need
some special ops were playing about then
one mama came out of town and bought me
two new cobras and I'm nobody said her
back because like we already rats them
to pay the bills but she going her way
to make sure I still had the things I
want ain't need it yeah I wanted it and
she did it so like I said I always
salute my my mama's boy never I said
even when I turned eight of them still
be my mama's baby no I'm saying it
doesn't ever change because I salute
what she did and till the day she still
beyond once when she the bent elbow TV

ever have any times where you will go
spend a night with rich friends coming
from nothing and then you go stay with
rich people or people that had a mom and
dad and you got to see how they interact

onto my light you II didn't gotta be
thinking about me I'm eating a bologna

be Who I am now and it also taught me
how to raise my kids right out ready I
got four kids no one saying taught me to
really kill little hard and work hard so
they won't never any life gotta go
through then I went through period yeah
I should have because I've you know that
was me like I was come from the trailer
park my mom raised and she was always
working you know and I would we didn't
really have a lot of stuff either but
there be times where I would get invited
to sleepovers mm-hmm and I'd go there
and there was just they like the houses
were like a mansion to me like a nice
home and you know I'm saying I remember
the first time and I've talked about
this a couple of times on here like I
was over at some friends house and I had
to be seven or eight maybe and they were
wrestling with their dad you know saying
he's put him in a headlock doing there
well yeah oh oh no I mean I was with him
like I was fighting with AJ I felt it
was just weird connection night man
mmm was a heavy I mean I never had that
in a wrestling with their dad and stuff
and like but you but you saw my like you
know now that you're a father like you
want to you're conscious of the things
you didn't have all the things that you
did have that you want to instill and
your kids as well I've talked to people
and these were people who were
struggling with issues may be on drugs
mm-hmm and it was just weird notion
somebody called me up and said that they
wasn't gonna be there for their kid
because their dad wasn't there for them
but for me my mind is wired otherwise I
didn't mean a person literally said I
didn't have a dad so so why should they
have a dad and I'm like and that's the
reason I need to be a dad it's because I
didn't have when I know what it does to
somebody to not be you know saying in a
new child's life were different that's a
weird mind said that had drugs talking
the horse was going through some stuff
had to be but some people think like
that man some people some people do own
tail light I say it always be based on
the person
and I will be based on like what you
take from it some people he can scarf to
go negative way some people can start to
go a positive way yeah
Milan said my stepdad no so he came in
he been up forever but like he was that
missing piece that I didn't have but he
working so much but he also took time to
teach our basketball teacher no one sent
little thing like it one like you know
you want your daddy man yeah you feel
I'm saying but over the years I learned
like okay this Monday he doing
everything that I'm wanting my other dad
to do so I'm good with it yeah and I
learned to just the setup date and I
being happy and I love the deal yeah but
I also learned this and I'm glad we
talked about this I'm glad we to my
death I talked about my birth dad all
day about this I'm saying a lot of stuff
I want y'all to understand that a lot of
times you really don't understand what
your birthday that was going through she
won't pass when we on we just want our
daddy wound testing that story hero
that's it I won't can't do no wrong but
you never know at the time what they
were going through see as I got older
more mature I've been mad at my dad I
want music Carl he'd be on the phone
right now I want to talk to him yeah I
made sure he hit me say it yeah
I wanna talk to him ain't got nothing to
say to him he know he none to talk about

started taking my match okay let me God
never did I said let me go into his man
well he was going through it this time
and I went bad I made my dad like

love my kid a little my fellow here but
I ain't got nothin against nobody ain't

it's just weird a man for us like it was
weird because and I just had to come to
a realization that mmm like maybe two
years ago but having a conversation with
Watchmen a friend of mine so uh you know

reason that what I said I thank God for

music about of me your brain outlet in
his real I don't rap nothing fake every

I've been through a scene of being
around everything it's crazy man oh man
he was he came down and it was like I
wanted him to play Mario with us cuz I
had me show you how to play Mario you
know I played with y'all in the morning
woke up I was gone man

big handful of a ripped up card like
Fred he
jarick and she was crying right yeah you
know and and I in that was man I haven't
heard from a sense of whatever but there
was always this thing was struggling man
because my dad in my head was the hero
right my mom they got into it he left

with my mom or she would whip us or she
would have mental breakdowns and
Superman

out there somewhere we can go live with

I wanted to be there so in our head our
whole childhood up till recently I
looked at him as being this this
picture-perfect guy come to find out

right now and yeah dudes alcoholic
somewhere like yeah so in Watchmen told
me he said uh you know maybe that was
God looking out for you man yeah your
daddy might been a ruthless ass dude
y'all you know I'm saying like no your
daddy could have been beating y'all and
owning your mom and what if God saved
you anyways I've been assigned away you
know I look at I was like reality ain't
no Superman like yeah you know I'm
saying like and yo and it was just like
just like at the drop of a dime coming
to this revelation of light mandy's a
whole childhood we thought he was like
gonna save us one day yo you know I'm
saying and stuff and then he never did
mm-hmm but he was probably he is the
roofless dude you know I did walk out on
the kids you super uber yeah
the mamma's part you know I'm saying
like y'all grandchildren now and this
stuff goes deep man yo you know I'm
sayin so it's about learning from that
stuff saying look what I didn't have
i'ma give you talking about the kids
right I didn't have this in my life
I wanted it I seen other dads do it and
I'm gonna give it to you
because I didn't have it and then but
what I did do and I do this now like
there's stuff like there's a bunch of
just some small little creeks and rivers
and stuff over at Moore yeah I'll get a
spur a moment that where we grew up I
love this one out and that's a good
drive is about 45 minutes to an hour I
have more sentry over there I'll get my
daughter and bring them to little places
and let you experience
y'all stuff that I experienced tough and
you want to give them that there was an
interview man with a jay-z and I was him
and in someone else I think it was the
Rick Rubin which is the guy over one of
those big labels and it was asking about
his fears and stuff and he was talking
about that he still fears being a father
you know because he don't know what a
real father looks like cuz he never had
like that example so he's kind of made
he has to kind of make it up as he goes
well you don't know he said even jay-z
man yeah somebody successful as him is
still scared of being a father and
wanting to make sure that he don't mess
it up you know I understand it on both
side because like when you think about
like when you talk about all stuff you
been through in your past
I can relate that to like I had surgery
on my on my wrist right no once I had
surgery by Hill it will swole it was
hurting it was up some real pain I had
to take medicine for like it hurt he was
swelling me I don't think I was down bad
bad real bad but over time the swelling
went down it went down way down way down
and now that's gone it's done but it's
heal but it's teared up yeah
so when you say you forgive people and
all these time like you can get past all
this stuff but it still that's
disgusting
regardless nonsense it's in your melter
he steal that regardless so then watch
them alive on music from me like I don't
got no hatred like I'll be reverenced
about that it was enough then I ain't in
my feeling about that no more
no I'm saying but it's good because
other people are still going through
these same situations no one say
anything people are people don't know
how to or don't have nobody to vent to
about these situations no sale
Indians happen yeah it's a good source
of help and life people don't have it
and they hold it in forever and now this
car don't go from I'm healing this
little scar it's Dale steals world
because I don't got no outlet yeah you
know what and like you know I just kind
of linked it to this day I like to have
a drink every now and then I'll have a
margarita you don't have a couple beers
whatever chill out watch the game played
video games whatever my life wine we'd
like to have a drink but there's some
people who you try to have a drink with
and they drinking to forget yeah it was
still open like we can drink and just
kickin it whatever get a so buddy trying
to like no do that to forget about
reality yeah the wounds they still hurt
they still Oakland named Colorado sure
you gotta get in quarter odds with the
fire of God man to man is it for me it
was it's kind of a blessing because
there's the scripture says that arm that
Yahweh that God will become a father to
the fatherless mmm it's almost a special
blessing for those who came up without a
father that God said look I'll step in
and I die daddy oh you know and it
worked it works with anything like any
like whatever you need God it will be
that you need a provider God will be
Jehovah Jireh your provider if you need
a strong tower I guess a shelter or
defense whatever he'll become that for
you and for those who have grown up
without a father he becomes that and so
literally I can look back over my my
young adult lives of coming-of-age and
see how when I gave my life to Christ
and started reading the scriptures and
praying and getting into worship and
just growing in my relationship with God
how he orchestrated everything in my
life
and he kind of like came through as a
father and like he would give me I would
go work at jobs mm-hmm and while I'm
there
that's why I'm gently just doing the job
but when I leave that job or months
later I said man he taught me how to do
things that my dad didn't come to me
I'll change the whole cut grass dig a
ditch no you know whatever the case
stuff that I think men should know how
to do that you know they didn't know I
could see how God orchestrated like lead
me to these different jobs that teach me
ethics and
and there's still things in me man that
that wasn't there you know you can look
back over your life and that's a
blessing man so you take you reverse the
curse me off there's a true Christ and
you can stop it and you can stop it with
you
you ain't gotta pass that on to your
kids out that hurt pain turmoil hour
that passed oh you can stop it right
here this way in we start fresh love joy
peace and happiness with our kids and
our generation push it forward instead
of being adding the burdens in the oh
hang on won't be no dad because I ain't
had one you can stop it right now yeah
start afresh yeah I will Fred got to be
conscious of a man and it did instill
something I'll send you man mm-hmm

an album bro from the streets to the
church it's iTunes physical albums are
available at King James live.com and
people can check that out it's doing
really good I'm hearing I'm hearing a
lot of I'm seeing a lot of retweets and
a lot of screenshots and huncle who are
getting your stuff now that you're
there's one thing as far as you being an
artist and I've tried to step in and
help you because like you have no you
tell me you don't hit writer's block it
just comes in here we've got so much
material yeah and you can knock songs
out it's good material but well we're
faced with it's like trying to get that
music out to people like what's the best
ways to do it we don't have a label we
don't have a huge budget behind us
using the internet and whatever the case
shooting videos to kind of get this
stuff out to people
you've kind of struggled with can I've
always been like man like not just you
everybody man everybody we know that's
money in it it sucks because like you
put out an album mm-hmm okay you're
you're like writing a new album right
now yeah it probably almost done with it
right from done just by doing right this
album just came out July 30 and you and
you ain't gonna be like really pushing
it and you know because you really focus
on the next one so getting the music out
there to people and kind of promoting it
as an underground artist it's hard man
who you tell the deadline telling them
Leonidas old I like man because like
it's even harder when I'm just like
naturally off to myself quiet dude so it
is even harder than like working at the
prison my work so many hours it's like
trying to network and get the linking up
with people be kind of hard but god I've
been like bless me to like link up with
a lot of people and like be more active
on my social media to me they help out a
lot
they help out a super like I've been
being a tool but that what is easy to
know saying link right though
so just pushing it sharing stuff and you
know just oh like when people put stuff
on nails you said else to throw on their
lower back and that they help out a lot
but like I said my god gave me music
after music music music it roll it roll
it rolled man and like I don't want to
shed it just Mona God gave me like last
month end of the month he had told me
said I want you to do 24 balls for 24
days straight so I'm like oh that's a
lot of write him I said I know I can do
it cuz you're gonna give it to me who
told me to do it I know you're gonna get
- yeah but I like my house so my going I
don't like my man start trying to roll
us and all just stop I stepped back from
that I said pray you told me do it I'm
gonna do it when you want me to do it so
he never gave me a time the days and
kept going like me start this so just
one day I don't keep up with no dates at
all I don't keep up with no dates no I'm
saying God know that - so is that one
day that boom I woke up one morning like
I wake up folks I'm gonna wanna go
but he woke me like three something
you're like right now and I woke up and
start right and I said okay boonies in
24 bar so I'll start right here from
then I've been going and today is the
21st day you know I'm saying
24 bars a day the day the 21st day I got
three more days but the thing is like I
see the growth in it oh man yes I'm
awesome rock music man
it rocked but now he's I feel like he's
starting to trust me more with the music
because I use I go through stuff then I
pull away from the music and I focus on
what I'm dealing with cuz I don't like
putting out no all right what I'm
feeling one more right yeah I can't make
it if I go through some fake I'm gonna
write it down yeah so I said now I'm a
fullback but like no he showing me
through whatever you going through I got
you going through stuff for a reason
push it out oh I think he trusts me more
than us and I appreciate that that's
something the body man it's like you got
to know what to talk about like and if
you don't know what to talk about talk
about what you're going through
cuz now people are going through the
tube is that we think that it's just you
oh it's me ain't don't nobody nobody I
feel like this ain't nobody been through
this but when you start speaking about
it you start seeing people here man I
really decided on yeah you think of just
you guys like until you let me show you
something so crazy
I'd say they lay at night - under bro I
said may know so crazy about problems
problems ain't print it out I don't care
you white a black you can go and get it
no I'm saying
and then what I'm saying with then is
just Oded the black America's do you
want think though there's white human or
whatever racism or go any anybody know
I'm saying go through the different
thing but they don't have fathers
neither they got families on drawers too
like we does work yeah talks about that
yeah yeah we all go through the same
things man
you go through the same stuff like
problems ain't prison at all yeah oh you
don't get it too close man
it may look a little different but it's
the same you're saying they're white and
it will maybe really think about it
could like Oh Dylan James shot - oh hell
no same beat supports in
was in front line no I'm saying
supporter Dylan Giants out to him he was
telling me to like man I hope still
going through it on going through it and
I like and my mind goes straight up man
oh wait no I'm saying like but you
really do be going through that stuff
man and I'd be appreciated people have
vocal about telling you man your music
help me no one saying because they also
in like my mind is I'll be on I need get
a lot of people a lot of people help
allow me to help a lot of people yeah
but I already let you know it one yeah
just one man so Deborah does help me
like it calmed me down from thinking I
got a resold many people and once they
called me down to just think about that
once you start reaching a lot of people
I know because I told my hands on from
that god I have to have to continually
remind myself that because like there
were times where like my podcast would
and it was because of the bigger names
probably but we would get 10,000 you
know 13,000 views and you know in you
know just a couple weeks or whatever now
some of my shows get 400 views right and
a part of me is like man I wish they got
well you know what want um said well I
can't do those numbers consistently like
I used to do it yeah but I have to check
myself and slap myself with 400 people
that's a lie there's a lot of people
don't saying so like 600 people whatever
you know I'm saying the shows the
streams that I get my number I'm a
number guy like if something's working
do I need to do more do I need to fix it
do if I'm doing something that's not
working like you know I'm saying trying
to find what's new what and different
outlets or whatever but I have to check
myself and say and you know to you know
say not that I'm doing it foot for the
numbers but you don't want it to sway
you you don't want it to you don't want
to do it for the numbers but you know
before hundreds of a lot of people in
the oven I mean I'm saying for those a
lot I mean after we do a live stream a
lot of times the numbers change here
like who's watching live but 120 people
may watch and it comes down to we judge
ourselves amongst ourselves oh I'll go
to somebody else's live stream who's
talking about nothing not awful like
yeah and they got 600 people listening
I'm like man why can't reach 600 people
and they're saying thingy I plight like
I pulled myself from that too but yeah
I'll see somebody every I don't view my
name yeah then I don't know like the
stuff that God gave me this bit I don't
like man it's a real rock museum but
like I had put out a video like long
time ago doing me wrapping stuff and
Dana did like a honey like you know on
Facebook views a little honey somebody
they're not like oh watch it and now I'm
happy
mmm see that's the humble you you gotta
always go back to that humble you yeah
so like when I started looking at my
video I pulled now it's true - mm quick
no I'm saying I'm like oh man
2 9 3 9 no sound like nah man [Â __Â ] go
back to when you were happy about that
100 people yeah because that's 200 eyes
and ears you feeling saying yeah
so in we're still looking for that one
just that one that it can help because
I'm not having and then like dumb people
that's looking at it or people who want
to look at actually see a lot of people
just looking at putting on you're
exactly the people who watch it before
they said I'm gonna try to download it
for free
makeup are they gonna hear about you for
for you yeah burn me we love you bro um
you listen to yeah he shares on my way
but I'm though that's what it's about
man having those those superfans man he
will believe in it like they get it you
don't only if you got 10 of them it's
better than have a hundred of people
just clicking watching and uh I've done
a lot better on that you don't saying
cuz I see the numbers but I get the
messages and the in boxes and stuff you
know I know you probably getting flooded
a lot more chill out that you kind of
you know somebody told me a little bit
more I wrote when man told me said hey
whatever you do please don't start
wrapping your music help me and pull me
out of my mess what I was in never adult
like never does change this that's where
my mind went back to that one I said man
is always Imran trying to think about
50,000 people open a store really
targeting this person yeah no one's
thinking he really feeling what I'm
saying and stuff I've been
so I started like you really being
Comeau connected to like Rhino more and
dealing with on the one-on-one basis
versus just acting like I'm this big old
superstar do and I can't really link
with you people like okay by my news but
I'm not finna be messaging you you
feeling saying by my music but I'm not
gonna be conversing with you like that

please trying to win out on the way here
man
just the album Coppola covered the front
part just the first couple yeah 275 yeah
so I'm not trying to like anything
anybody bio see for me it was it goes
straight to the moon that's it go
straight to it that's something I
learned and that you know what locally
that that set me apart from a lot of
people yeah and even to this day I mean
we've been doing this for a long time
man I started by started backing like oh
form an eBay and and some of those
people who when I started they're still
there they're still doing it King David
was there yeah early date he's still
there you've seen him last night
Retta you know I'm saying and uh but
even with his groupies told me this you
know and other people have and other
people kind of look at your sideways but
I've always um I never wanted to go into
my family's bill money hmm to put
towards my hobby we'll call it in the
church we call it our ministry like feel
better that's for my ministry that's
what your hobby sorry like you ain't
making no money on it like it's both I'm
saying you know I'm saying to preaching
the gospel is your ministry the music is
your hobby and your outlet on how you do
it but I've never wanted to like take
away from my family and our bills we've
always like been tight with bills and
stuff so I never want say I need a
hundred dollars for the body cities or
300 body cities and let me invest it and
I'll pay it back to the bills so I've
always been like let me take let me make
money off of what I'm doing let me
monetize my songs let me upload them to
sound click back in the day was soundly
this before iTunes and all that yeah
like and being able to make money off of
it and maybe would be able to sell merch
and we go to shows and I had merch I
have posters I'm doing autographs and
I'll just sign up would have come up
there with a CD to put in yeah and they
burn their CDs to sell and I got the
whole backhoe and I made sure that out
to always took her to the next level
with excellence like then you know I've
been able to keep building and building
and building but one of those guys told
me I had a conversation when it be said
should i buy this new mic or take my
daughter to Disney World I was like bro
you should take your daughter to Disney
man's like you can get you can get a mic
inside but your daughter will never
forget that enjoy a full bottle mic
something like so for me like I bought a
mic to you don't say I bought lights I
bought a lot of stuff but I've never
dipped into what you need you know the
family's gonna say there's money or my
daughter's bill you know what they need
to fund my hobby it's always like do and
so and I say that to encourage people in
a sense because you need to you spend
the money to make money scared money
don't make no money you got to spend
money to make money you gotta better to
flip it to invest in yourself if you
believe in yourself and be able to
sustain your own I'm saying yourself as
a little business as a like a little
entity you know I'm saying even with
just the artwork that draw people yeah
like your eyes just trying to son
together real fast man whoa
well their artwork draw people out we're
talking now because it's all word I did
on your first album cover yes King David
would have handed me a white cover one
knows how to do it oh it's in there will
I say again shout the big cereal big
supreme that's for two and I see it like
and with this front street to the turn
out I won't say it because like I said
in a day like we talked about how we met
and already saying I always tell people
that I said you one really do out and
dealt with I don't care about no color
none of that junk no I'm saying the way
black man who do I like that one brother
don't say you my brother Peter I don't
care what nobody say I do what they
think about you none of that junk
because I know when I did my Front
Street to the church album you recorded
that hell no I'm saying you put the time
into it you uploaded my stove when I
feel Orlando they're trying to finish it
for my birthday bird grind it was up to
3:00 in the morning with me
you know I'm saying when I was falling
asleep is active when I was on the road
finna go enjoy myself
push play is that good hey like being
reading on Santa when I was on the road
going salento to relax for my birthday
he was still here put my stuff in upload
and then grind and sending emails out
trying to get out of stuff done man I
appreciate for everything now I always
tell you yeah but like from my heart
appreciate everything anybody do for me
but especially when you watch away like
that man I never sit in a in a bad place
with me to our being it's a weird thing
man I'm not here I'm in this weird place
I know you've seen my post I'm a dad of
the day I was kind of in yeah I get mad
sometimes we we hope so we grind um you
know I'm saying like we just go above
and beyond
I beat I do I do good I do good for
others I've always done it oh I've
always helped people with album covers
I've always recorded people I mean I was
the one we had like a gospel rap
coalition back in the day night
everybody
I booked all the shows if I got a show I
called everybody we had we look like no
limo called me we have eight nine order
some stage rotate the songs we like we
had we had a fun time I loved it I
enjoyed it I did it because I loved it
right I love the scripture says like
when you have a brother that you're
going through this stuff where you can
glory together you can go do your show
or rap all you want but when you got
some alley man we killed it wait wait
follow me and you we've done shows
together back in the day I would book
shows invite everybody but then those
same artists would would get shows and
they wouldn't call me oh you know I'm
saying or I would help people but then
they wouldn't help me or they would want
something for free or then they'll talk
trash about you or whatever the case is
and going over backward for people and
I'm in this weird place because I'll
just be giving out unsolicited advice
and that a lot of people will charge you
for yeah I'll be giving away for free oh
I do without that I won't say the
kindness of my heart but I enjoyed this
I enjoy seeing people succeed I enjoy
helping people deep down I know that God
blesses me because I do it yeah I know
that if you pay me or whatever the case
is there's ethics that should be
involved in friendship and just beat
letting people use you mm-hm but I know
deep down God orchestrates everything he
says all part of me is one check myself
okay nothing for free yo I'm not I'm
just people to hit me up like even the
other day like somebody hit me they want
to know you connects they want to know
and I'm usually hey this is it do they
Kukoc whatever yeah whatever you got I'm
gonna help people but now I'm like hold
on man like part of me wants to draw
back yo and say hold on man these folks
and use me but did they use you I had to
do hit me up god bless him but I posted
that thing about you know I had a
paranormal TV show hit me up want me to
be a host and a judge on a panel for

loved me to go my past to go to war with
God over me my face demons for me like
they really like they leave it yeah yeah
you know y'all the gullible yeah you
don't know it see but not I was like
that one point to when I was thinking
like everybody some people really see
for me but I think like my lesson came
from I'm gonna say my lesson came from
my first cut went behind me with my
girlfriend yeah
after that girlfriend I got no yeah my
second cousin went behind with my
girlfriend yeah after her I got another
one
my homeboy that I grew up from head
start with 20 years of a friendship at
the time he went behind me with that
girlfriend yeah so I've never I said oh
we all turn old mo Duru yeah after that
the dude that his mama one let him stay
with her he moved in with us he did some
old shady time yeah so it took some
trial and error me to get to like no one
like people just faith like that ya know
saying like don't be saying like don't
want stuff in the air now be knowing
people just saying you ain't in solid
man than your real anybody can pass it
on your back bro be called ahead don't
worry like you man it takes discernment
man it really is a part of the gift of
discernment is year but to be around
people groups you know and what have a
controversy this is but you learn people
groups ya know when you know when you
meet a car salesman hey brother how you
doing man your pockets you know these
type of people
oh and you because you've been around
them or like if you never been around
those people
a man watch out for them to tell you
what you they tell you what you need to
hear to get what they want from you then
they're gone to find another person just
like you
the bad thing is even what isn't is in
the churches for me because like what I
just said do it for God God's gonna
bless me at the end of the day God is
gonna is gonna bless me whether I help
people but I but still you
let people take advantage of you it's
kind of like in the churches they have
like the worship teams right and so you
have a the sanger the piano player the
guitarist the drummer you're all these
other people like ten people on the
didn't acquire a hold like a whole choir
of people who sang to they only pay one
person the director there's a lotta
y'all gotta come to practice three days
a week y'all got to do this y'all got to
do that and I working and it but we know
who you got to do it for no you do it
for God's gonna tell you but not your
service to God yeah not hell nothing
getting paid but we got to do it for God
at the end of the day I do believe that
God will bless you if you he does cuz he
orchestrates everything yeah um but you
don't want to be gullible and be taking
advantage of y'all see she solicited you
know I miss energy y'all know I'm just
giving it away box it out like what I'm
saying like what you doing in the way
you help people start that it's super
great don't say what you're doing do it
from the heart the god bless you store
up your treasures in heaven not Hill
yeah don't saying so you definitely
write about that but what I'm saying
like when you got a operand opportunity
don't let people in invading it because
they will find some kind of way to mess
it up that's why and whether it's out of
paranoia or whether it's out of wisdom
those two can be maybe cousins
cuz like I don't I try not to even even
though I made I made that post I'm
usually in tow people know I usually
don't tell nobody nothing until I'm done
til I've done it boy over yeah because
I've ran into situations where people
will try to take it out from under you
um and this was me coming out when God
was pulling me out of all the church the
gospel rap and pulling me out of the
churches and stuff I kept trying to go
back because it was easy it was always a
crowd I just show up in as a crowd God
had a different plan for me yeah it's
not better or bigger it was just mop
what he had for me but I kept trying to
go back and they would put my name on
flyers and I had got a reputation for
myself here we'll talk about anything
and people would call the church even if
it wasn't at a church people would call
and say hey you got a guy named true
seeker on your Lana I seen it on
Facebook he's gonna be performing there
he just did an interview where he or he
did a concert where they cursed or
something they try to like close you out
of smoke yeah I don't even like that
like no give me happen a lot man though
and so that's why like I had it you know
I just recently did an interview and I
don't want to do out of paranoia but out
of wisdom because I got people I just
talked to a dude I've been listening to
since 2001 mmm and it was an honor and a
blessing for me to be able to have that
man on the phone and talk to him and
this is a guy he's pretty high level
yeah I talked to him like a friend on my
podcast I wanted to tell people before
hey I got this lined up yeah but I know
people who would try to they will yeah
sounds rosy oh you just don't you just
you're just overthinking it no don't
fails out of calling people say hey
watch out for this dude this guy I'm
telling you do isn't it yo this guy's a
dissonant and I'm like you know I move
in silence man it's got a most of time
what you get is what is it's in a rap
like yeah most people that we do that we
even these interviews I have had a lot
of big names to people they want to they
want to get me oh god man and so the
Bible says I'm that God would make you
the envy of all nations
yo people want what you got I try to
give people game I think just the way I
got you have to work for it it ain't
free I can give you the game and you you
mind still might not be able to do
nothing with it no but um however bad
you want it you you're gonna work for it
and you're gonna make something out of
it happiness a job career music album
that's work man people I don't have that
work that work ethic and I were on even
with patreon I mean I have a soft toe
people like I have a lot of supporters
on patreon people who support my work
and allow me to do this this way and
I've told people you know this is how
it's done and bah bah bah bah and so
everybody else goes out and starts their
own paid patreon that everybody's doing
it the people they see my model shows
think you can do it
I can do it yeah it's true you can you
know if you work hard enough you can't
go start it and expand you'll be sweet
supporters I'll not give nothing and not
yo fine-tune it and stay and I'm still
trying to find ways to just to be
interactive and stuff but like you kind
of give people your your your formula
and see them trying to recreate it
whether it's for free or whatever man
it's uh it's weird man but at the end of
day hard work pays off you know I'm
saying like if you're not gonna bless
you either way God's gonna bless you man
if you don't if you don't work hard at
it
and iing or get nothing all week cuz I
always I've been talking about this a
lot of my podcast man I feel like

preacher
you ready yeah let's go God got you we
start from well we started from a house
ministry yeah all same from the most
good churches do y'all on the bottle
from a good place and this like my whole
concept by the way I wrapped the well
leader
everything I always started from Hill
then why like unlike the way the only
too many people know me for real yeah I
like it because like it showing me well
me I like that I know what I'm puttin I
know what kind of work I put in though I
know why brands to the table yeah but I
like that huh they keep me humble no so
I love that low-key
noise and just like start from the
bottom tight feel like with the church
with the way I was raised up everything
we started from the bottom working our
way up so once you get up everything you
got a foundation you know saying you got
a foundation you ain't just jump up to
the top and on say you ain't got an
understanding on I got a lot to stand on
you see the picture of the house I
posted where I used to live oh I'm gonna
pull it up and I'm gonna show people in
the chat and I'm gonna show you - you've
seen the video izd switches yeah yeah
Road yeah this the house how you stay
sane looking hard with that back we have
no back though that is all wood panel on
the back with your nail so you know what
kind of wind coming through that yeah
yeah I'm gonna uh right there babe okay
I can show people in the chat to this
house so uh let's see
so for you guys who are watching on
YouTube you'll be able to see this and
I've posted it on my social medias you
can go there if you're listening and
I'll post it in the show notes as well
if you just want to check this out but
I'm gonna show it here so here's my
Instagram this is the house that I grew
up in what was born in look at that I
just went back to visit it I bet winning
a hot boy like a song in that one maybe
it was alligators all just a small bro
like ten feet you can see behind oh yeah
it's walk there and the swamp here is
like an island a long peninsula oh they
will use you wrestling Gator when you
live no they would come out and watch me
and want to eat me but that looks I
don't know what that is that is
craziness
mm-hmm that's where we started our
humble beginnings we recently have I
been say I want to go back to where I
used to live just so I can remember it I
was a little kid now we moved out had we
got a trailer trust when the trailers
even better than that they don't turn my
written there's our minds all in that
and all that stuff anyway we I went to
Louisiana I had to go to my cousin's
funeral I had that speak give some
little words there I was like I'm gonna
go check out this and by you gosh
Louisiana on the bayou
so I wanted to go back and visit it and
uh you told my starting from the bottom
I got to get a hitch up man and there
guys I remember this that's why I came
from you know I'm saying so in order to
know where you going you got to know
where you came from there cuz you'll
forget you'll forget you forget where
you started like that even with your
faith man like it's easy to be like ah
everything's good I don't even really
need Jesus that much anymore like oh I
needed him you're in like 2001 or 2000
thousand and five I'm pretty good now
I've got life down pretty good I know
how to treat people I got to go to
church or read the Bible but you inis
this weird notion of that you have to
still be you have to remember where you
brought you from will be desperate meet
him as much today as you need we needed
him help damn
and as super Christian and as powerful
in the spirit and as smart as we are
mm-hmm we in an instant you could do
something stupid yeah if you ain't
walking in the spirit if you don't play
your cards how they dealt you could
easily pick up a pistol
you could easily deuce yeah it's not a
tweet no I'm saying you can easily cut
all your fans out anything that's crazy
man and so that's why walking in the
spirit and and being close with Christ
as much today as you needed him when you
was begging no you know you still need
them and remembering that never getting
where you came from you got to directly
and spiritually keep your home will keep
you moving forward man and then it
helped him bless you even more because I
okay I can trust the Joker yeah hey yeah
I gave him a little bit he wasn't raised
off the pitch I gave my wolf and again
Nick yeah he went crazy I did a little
pinch I gave ya that hard no like
mouthing do the 24 ball for 24 days I
like man when the world long beard come
on with it like that but I'm knowing
like if he told me to do it he gonna
give me something yeah so I'm like okay
what I walk around I was going hard but
now I see like this little pen or thing
you can eat is only gonna get better and
better
yeah okay he can trust you more you know
I okay my son doing what I want to do I
can give him a little bit motion on so I
put a little bit more on this plate and
through that is helping me are we're on
a boat spiritually dealing with people
no I'm saying not holding onto stuff
like just make stuff move let's keep on
moving forward for real yeah that's
that's what it's about man and always I
mean that's it's just like I'm seeing a
law of the universe if it's a scripture
if he could trust you with a few he'll
make you ruler over more
it also says those who have been
forgiven of much they love much you
don't know where I came from
y'all see the polished up version y'all
see um James wearing nice polo you know

was you know I'm you know I was one of
the brothers man they don't know so I
was in mr. Floyd's class and um we
didn't have a lot of money right I
wanted to try to still be fly do what I
can or whatever I would wear a
hand-me-down Nikes just because they
were Nikes my cuz I wore girl Nikes in
school cuz they just could air Nike
doesn't say well yes our lad we do them
once I wore deny but check this out so
speaking about the girl Nikes and girl
clothes um my sister's friend come over
and she had these brand new pants they
were they looked fly they had like a
pocket on the side they were real baggy
yeah but our girl pants were they were
bagging the legs but around the waist
and hips they were real tight but I had
wore a long longer polo shirt kind of
hung down and um so I wore her pants to
school want to warm to school so I had
these nice uh nice jeans on right they
bag getting about but tight it stop cuz
the shirt hung down you couldn't see the
hips
so yeah they about it for like anything

and this was in like 94 you know 95 we
didn't have those rules at school I was
in mr. Floyd's class and we had to turn
in money for a project and he's like
collinear by his name you got your money
said mr. gross car you got your money
and I had to stand up and I reach my
hand in my pocket and put it in your
pocket like this to get it straight I
had to put it had to be like straight
going down cuz I couldn't get my hand in
the pocket just reach in I had to pull
the shirt up and stick my hand in pocket
I think with that Tonto Crenshaw turn
around say hey he got girl bezel and
everybody started laughing and I thought
I was looking clean like one of the
fellas what we are wearing and uh yeah
that's one of my uh middle school
memories of Atmore middle school and
over town man yeah and who else was that
arm big hairdo he had a big head oh he
ain't named Courtney oh hey see one
quote I remember him but it was another
dude um
Fernando what Nando another Apple here
man Mario no I'm mad thing over later
but I'll go back and forth trying to
think of his name anyway man funny
stories like coming up the struggle the
struggle is real at the end of the day
um Justin Caldwell's here now I was
gonna take Justin but it was to see if
you wanted to come over and kick it with
us cuz he I think we're gonna record
those couple bars for your feature here
now Justin call wells in the chat here
so so me King James we did an album
called take my life make you bright and
it's a collab album so half of the songs
of mine have for his and then the third
of the songs are all of our features we
have a handful of features that we've
done together
so that album is available hunter says
that he loved that album a lot of people
appreciate I love that album it's not
one that I promote a lot anymore but
it's a there's some gems on that arm
it will probably be performing that some
of that stuff on the on November the
second that the day and all the info was
I
truth-seeker calm we're gonna be
performing in Mobile Alabama and Justin
called me Justin Caldwell and King James
will be there performing so we'll do
some of that stuff live so go to the
website to get the info there $5 at the
door but he's asking if we're gonna do
another collab album that album was a
little stressful for me because the
writer's block issue with this guy he
can write a song like that and it's
nothing and he can just keep knocking
them out me I struggle over my lyrics
sometimes and I beat myself up and I
don't want it to be corny and I don't
want to repeat myself so but when you
come out with it y'all hear would it be
mm-hmm he's gonna be beating yourself up
for no reason
well I mean that's the process of it
though like oh because I can easily
throw something together and there's
their songs that I've done that I feel
like no just a feature you know I'm
saying it's not like I just kind of let
it slide Regas - you scream you your
biggest critic but that's good though
yeah right that's great you know and um
so I don't I don't think we'll do
another full collab on we're definitely
gonna do a lot of lot more collabs
together yeah and I just thought show
them a beat today or that we're gonna be
probably doing together then we're about
that way out Justin so well yeah do your
homework man definitely go check out
that I'll take my life out we did
several videos to that stuff too and a
lot of people know that stuff um I know
some people have been comin here let me
just see my ally Graham wants to know uh

with him we didn't have a pass my whole
life because like growing up in at Moore
and I was dividing I was all my cousins
and stuff and friends we get bored I
love to shoot bodies which I want to do
is I ain't man that's what I would tell
them let's walk through the quarters
let's walk through the quarters to get
home come on say we got scared
y'all scared to walk through the hood
yeah no we're not scared we're just not
stupid
yeah cuz I I'm grew up watching all the
the gangster movies you know ministers
society I'm excited about black culture
and game culture so a and C D yeah so I
would walk through there and it would be
like walking through a movie I'll be
walking through menace to society and
feel like I'm there and I'll get all my
friends to do it and we did that for fun
you know we didn't have a pass we got
chased out of there Gaja y'all god say
there was one time arrow
about a car wash I might even told you
about this but on right off the highway
there's that car washes in that
neighborhood back there
forgot what they call it though over the
old project yeah yeah and so we walk
back a little bit we played some dudes
in a basketball game and we beat them
we're in the hood it's the white dudes
against the black dudes in basketball
yeah nobody in the first place if we
beat them and they don't win yeah we
beat them and then you know that last
point they were foul and trying to knock
him down and choking us and I just crazy
but we won and we put money up on and
they took the money then some other guy
came I said ain't you the guy who took
something for myeloma some crazy it was
a friend of mine who was with us in like
they get is him and he started they
grabbed one of them all my cousins and
everybody ran to towards the highway to
get back to life yeah yeah I ran with
the dude they were chasing deeper into
the hood wait wait he's right beside me
I'm running that's net money they all
chasing him he stops and turns around
say wait wait let me explain bump up
knock him down they all start stomping
him and kicking him I'm running by
myself through the hood don't know where
I'm at to the hole I jump a fence
there's folk courts drinking and just
through this white kid just lost walking
through the hood yeah well I ran as long
as I could and then I did eventually I
had to quit running just start walking
try to find my way out they've neither
eventually man like 20 minutes later I
come out on some Street my mama pulls up
slams on the brake I was happy to see
her because like I couldn't I wasn't
with my friends no more I was like in
trouble they date because she wanted to
pick me up everybody else had made it
back home you know I didn't made a house
my Akari mama baby was my I heard
everybody don't have a pass but I have
went back in that area wit King James
with the pass and had didn't have the
three or nothing using very saying so
was one of my experiences that happened
to us all the time and walking through
at more did you have no one were younger
like you got a fight-or-flight the
behavior a lot of fight black folks one
against three you better know how to
move your legs a little bit a lot so a
lot of white folks are scared to drive
through Prichard or to drive through
where the black folks stay right we're
scared to do it they won't do it
you tell them it's money and they're not
going mm-hmm but the weird thing is a
lot of white folks don't understand this
a lot of black folks are scared to drive
through the country no they got that
same you told me they go to the same
store J I see you beat up by the
rednecks in jail yeah cuz I only white
guy would imagine black yeah no I don't
like that oh yeah yeah I used to get
jumpin exactly yeah with it but I mean
coming out here I had friends who
wouldn't come to my house because they
know he said that's where they hang
black folks they don't do that around
here they they wouldn't come over and
they were scared to drop through the
country get lost and go down a dirt road
with a old racist white guy and so you
know it's kind of the same play right
you should be bad like it I had a little
time with the Poli one time you know
brother walking down the road you know
Poli came behind on stopped us we have
some sticks out here you know you won't
when y'all we walk everywhere yeah so it
was always loose dogs chasing you yeah
so he had sticks you know we did a lot
of wrestling so we had a litter don't us
we'll we had sticks walking for the dogs
won't good and it probably stopped uh
but you're hoping to go no we had at
home oh yeah I'm gonna go beat somebody
ate like he cuts the northern I know man
we took out a stick for a dog now give
me that Steve stick what you're gonna
take it no give me no stick y'all watch
it man oh man so we went to how mad when
my woman don't say we went to the police
station no I was like wait bodies I was
talking crazy
yeah you know that yeah so we in the
back yeah so we dealt with this
situation
the chief held it and we got paid that
it was overweight though I don't really
I'll be like I don't believe in all that
police brutality only vote
yeah I don't I don't believe that it is
I wish war many choose I wish one lying
abyss
No Oh trust no no no both March and died
vote yeah okay Jesus died on the cross
but you say what's Northern Soul yeah
yeah I feel about going a to man
well what about let me ask you this
cause like we are this was something big
for me to get over like you know with my
old channel like before my channel got
deleted I eventually started doing
gaming videos you know and showing
people the laid-back side cuz whoo there
is a deep spiritual side there's a time
for war there's a time to laugh a time
to cry a time to play China can a lot of
it we play a lot we joke a lot me and
you joke on each other you know we have
funny stories you know this is who we
are and we're comfortable with that but
when it's time to be spiritual when it's
time to pray we're not and uh you know
we don't simply focus or whatever
there's a disconnect there for a lot of
people or your pastor your your
spiritual it's always spiritual you
can't laugh you cannot tell jokes
we've jank on each other oh all the time
it's fun all the time and and we do it
for fun and we try not to you know make
people cry but I hope it sometimes you
know but um you know that's just this is
who we are but even when the my old
channel I was gaming and me and you man
I wish I still had those videos cuz me
and you were sitting here on sitting
here playing a 2k yeah I was doing are
you man no got mad I beat you to death
so we'd be gaming and just playing video
games and it's live streaming and uh
Jenkin on one another and I'm Duncan I'm
in scoring so many points he was losing
yeah but people you know they didn't
want to see their and I know that's
because what I built up like it was all
serious meditation Jesus all series of
and then then when you hit them with
some humans who K basketball they don't
think you
they don't know because they've never
seen that side yeah and it was like
where's the balance there man for you
like is there a balance or they take
this is who I am
some people may think you're not as
spiritual okay you guys are true so you
could just set ass you know I'm saying
yeah and you know where does that to be
to be human but still be spiritual and
clean and and it's even deeper when you
work is out of prison because I don't
know that I'm saying they know hardly
they know that but I also know like man
when I go to some store like we got
chaplains at our prison yeah so when
it's Doulos said mama man and all he
couldn't go to throw nothing so they're
like we want you to talk to the chaplain
they're like no I want to talk to the
chaplain I want to talk to King Johnny
no I'm saying they happen with a few guy
that I don't want to talk to the chapel
I won't go talk the King yeah yeah no
wasn't nobody called me it worked - yeah
so we'll sit and talk we'll go down to
the like they know on that I do it joke
jack and play but they know but you
knows about God you'll never drink too
far with them no don't kill your witness
no I'm only members about what they do
I only read a stove oh no I mean like
like you drink too much today they can't
take you serious no how's it be be I'll
just me like imma take all they got is
lower the inmates back into the store
with inmate I'm gonna take all day long
because they make your time row exactly
and when are they gonna do it too and
they are you Kings of Comedy they
imprison you pay for yeah but he wanted
me at home on my jack all day long but
when we get on serious subject I'm
serious yeah don't say it I say it's
time pay for everything when I'm serious
I'm seal like before like when we being
up in Iraq or would be joking hard way
to the mic come on
once they come on sweet teeth in the
same thing go for when I'm telling PBOT
lifting your moves on to though it's in
your music because like because like
Johnny Cage you're talking about video
games in your mail and you're talking
about basketball players you're talking
about cartoons you know you have fun you
have some that make you laugh no and
then you have something about
so-and-so got killed I never seen him
again shout out to his family um so you
have like these deep subjects and then
the light heartedness I think it's about
balance me know that would a deal is it
definitely we did people see that people
they put a distinction that is either
one or the other
yeah you can't have both be light
hearted you can't play your video games
you kill a shake and then with with one
of the one on the to you is another one
now thank you for be like a fashion like
real affectionate type person like I
love it a little hard
whoever I'm dealing with I love like
super hard then if I'm dealing with a
female no say we on the cruise and there
are stuff people be looking like oh I
know you do stuff like that like man is
believing I got a big old you down go to
go to church pray y'all it's only cause
ain't seen it before y'all
nobody gets around it but like I don't
really have these type of all really
have them problem because people like
most people know me true you just always
put it any like if you see my facebook
you see like oh I got seeing a sauce
that on my open book so what you see
what you get don't do the open like I
don't realize none for real what I go
through I see it I'm feeling i'ma say it
well I'm thinking I'm gonna say it but
I'm go off the deep end but I'm gonna
speak my mind you just know who you are
Peter see a lot of people like if you
work in the prison most people don't
want to never go in the ward office
principal I was in school principal
Hollister I don't care why I go you're
human on my head let's talk regular yeah
that's how I feel and I just you know
who you are exact and I treat people the
same way like la people at mommy I just
want to meet you I didn't want to talk
to you and I'd be looking like and I'm
this simple I'm simple no I'm saying it
ain't meant to me but they look like oh
man you this no you know however they
look at ya I mean I like being here you
know what's funny though I people can
relate to you because we've always seen
people like I've seen people and I
always point to Benny Hinn as me and
someone blessed the Lord and being real
spiritual and being able to take you
into the presence of God he can you know
and there's a lot of other people who
can but that's all you see oh they got
footage of them dudes just hanging out
you know saying talking being
though they don't you know you don't get
to see that a lot yeah and so if he was
to see you if you was to see that it may
kill your this false idea it's a
falsehood she's only one side he's not
always nobody am I see you not even
Jesus and you read the scripture Jenkin
and being honey and using metaphors and
saying you just love this guy and uh
that's kind of what happened recently
with TD jakes yeah TD jakes has been on
like an entrepreneurial kick lately
he's got a he wrote his books or and now
people are getting to he's opening up
yeah this is how we built the church
this is how we did this and this is how
and people are getting to see the
business side TD jakes that's always
been there no he doesn't what you've
been supporting for years it's always
been there but he's felt led to kind of
open up about it open up about it and
people are just like oh this is not the
gospel this is something else oh we only
want this TD Jacob we don't want that
one and us we want the one that when we
when he preaches we cry yes it is holid
and Hooten that's the only one you want
cuz that's what you used to and that's a
big thing I just I just the last podcast
that I did was a solo one but I was
talking about the the scapegoat effect
and the the whipping boys you always
want to point you want someone else to
take the blame for what you did and then
misery loves company yeah but at the end
of the day it kind of comes down to like
when people when you step outside of the
norm of what's expected of you and you
do something different brings something
different to the table
I've always done that yeah well my music
I mean I albums were screaming on it
yeah you know been listening to that in
the hood like boy gospel all them dudes
was like hey man I don't feel like
that's yeah and I guess gospel gospel
music like there was nothing outside of
Jeff stylistically they would always you
know they day wasn't feeling it but it's
right rightfully so that was you know
for a particular group of people yeah
but I've always done stuff to kind of
push the envelope and but it's always
been there man taste of war
you know just being eclectic yeah at the
end of the day do you listen to um do
you listen to new music on the radio
only to radio for real how do you hop
how do you or how would you stay
relevant to the culture but do you try
to change them I was hot
no just whatever you have to style I
just stick to what God give me what
would change my flow or change the way I
do something the beat the beat of move
like different people about beat from
different people that move me in
different ways like I only saw something
to do like that the mixtape I'm working
with right now Karl born wanna you're
gonna see a whole different rap tone you
know it's different no I say it's it's
me it's still saying stuff but I don't
have fun on on run real I'm getting
loose I'm I'm winding down a lot I'm
really gonna get real loose with the
punch lines with the rapping little
faster no I'm saying little mo dance
tight feel bit it ain't based on what
anybody else doing because I don't
really try to fight no trend because
like did you got we got you ever no I
know been in today you always do your
voice you didn't listen without trying
to like find of well let me try to sound
like this y'all never did that listen
listen to all from beginning to naw I
start I sound the same y'all say he does
yo so he definitely does always been
true I can play you my old stuff it
sounds like crazy and I always been true
to myself like coming into what I do
everything I do I like to stick to being
me no I'm saying cuz I can I'm the best
me like if anybody won't do it moving
something I'm the best person to do it
to play my role yeah on the bench me I
can't be anybody else so I always stick
to just being me I love me nothing so I
just critique what I'm doing with
different beats change up little song
and run with it but like I don't go
listen to know like it's like look crazy
there's a few times like these people
like you listed like you listed a singer
like man hold on man
sound like I know I sound like a never
adult when I hit it that made me not
even listen to me - because I don't like
nobody trying to be like nobody I liked
it and you can't lie that even like the
new-look read some good songs on their
home atte it is anybody people take how
they want to take it but lyrically and
pushing my lyrics to a different level
in different like because it'd be hard
before push myself put myself it's
different rappers I listened to they'd
cut a super lyrical in a row yeah so I
play okay then he cuts him but I ain't
stunting their cousin problem this is
what he's saying yeah can he be
metaphorically going crazy man music so
take it some influence yeah I love tech
tech 9o likes can take from beirut him
in Miami okay these dude you listed only
black but a time I some praised up but
like I listen to them the flow and
they'd like make me up my balls I'm a
retail you know I'm the same way too and
I know I caught flak for that we talked
about this in the Colorado while back
but I would listen to uh Ritz or jelly
rolls over tec-9 technology just because
of the speed um I don't listen to too
much new stuff that's and that's newer
stuff that still sound it has been a 90s
feel somewhat because of bone
thugs-n-harmony and florals and stuff so
I do love Bone Thugs but I listen to
that to get influence for the most part
and people will say mm are you listening
that man they talking about this I told
my daddy talk about this and those same
people route who are calling me out and
friends but their music is dated like I
listen to their music it sounds like
Nursery Rhymes
hey my name is Stone of the beach or
think think think think think it's like
weird stuff yeah see but now by me
saying it people can categorize a
holiday but it won't put it but you live
to our music like oh I like this but
then you go back and listen what I'm
saying you like why do they listen to
roles to live to some new stuff you like
okay I see the growth versus like you
said people got to nurse around you
won't be
stuck on what you stuck on you got to
step outside Ibaka I know believe in
listen to the radio no cursing I've been
beat begins yeah a big instead but like
this laugh felt like I said God help you
grow in certain areas and then I started
I okay let me go on this try and it
helped me I like yeah you helped me out
of hole yeah because if not you're gonna
sound a tit no majority of Christian
music does because their music sounds
like it when they got out when they got
saved you know if you got saved in 2007
you still sound like 2000 cell cuz you
ain't listening no secular music you
listen to gospel radio no and you
listening to sermons but I only listen
that stuff to influence me I don't
listen to that because this while oh I
live to work I like the style in the
clothes that I listen to because I own
it then it's different
they from bedroom nonsense oh they got
different thought process they go
through stuff that we go through a
different stuff than we go through and
all the rabbits all the people - no I'm
saying like the crazier stuff but like
when I hear you start rapping like other
people it pulled me away the crate thing
I have to have to give much credit cuz
look race good and that's his latest
work as y'all it's really good yeah but
when you switch a song and say okay
that's the Drake song yo that's the
Wayne is he really song right here t
grizzly this is the moneybag
to hit flow what's that what's that
guy's name um this is the Big KRIT song
when you got a Big KRIT song mixed right
after your Drake song oh my god like C
into like oh like what I had stopped
doing I thought goods and what they do -
because they all look like whatever god
use nothing to do it might be reaching
another oh definitely dunno it's people
like that I mean I I enjoyed it helping
it's not that I don't enjoy it it's the
fact that I hear it you know not
everybody here we are artists yeah cuz
know where artists I was talking to
somebody about making beats the other
day and they're like be always on me
about my beats because I don't um I
don't put like a lot of plugins to kind
of like change the tone and pull the
loads out of my melodies and stuff I
tweaked it I mix it as
I go any like man you don't you don't
you don't you don't saying you're mixing
it's like listen like it sounds good at
the end of the day like I'm playing it
turned up yeah it sounds good no the
reason we're like that is because we get
that it's different for us because we
get to see no they hear the music yeah
we get to see the music yeah when we
record it and we look at the bars and
how the vocal looks and we get to
actually visually so it's a different
experience then just you hear in the
finished product or watching the video
it's a it's a lot that goes into it
vocally well so yeah we go ahead we
don't did about a hour and 45 minutes I
think we're good may have been wanting
