Yeah, like the first day, you know, 'cause it went viral, but I knew I could do this by rapping the first song about me like I was saying I made a song. I was in the studio with friends driving and I made a song with them, yeah, it got like that, ha, and then I just took over, yeah, I made a song and then I went straight to the block, tried it and everyone went crazy, Like I'm saying you should have this dance, yeah little leg. kicks it once they start doing it you know Clem you always got all the money after me after that man and then they like yeah so I knew what you guys saw and how do you know how long you guys been playing you know writing raps is just there before you made your first real song.

loud

stage, yeah, what, what kind of thing happened there, what happened, inspired man, because it was for us in the west who always we were looking and why and and yeah.

I guess in any city we want the best from that city to be able to be on that big stage. It was disappointing for us, man, as fans of yours, so I couldn't, so I know that very well. You know I was excited myself, but unfortunately. you know, the authorities mm-hmm no, they don't look at me like he's a super bad guy, so I'm not right, yeah, I say that, but inside it's cool because you know that hopefully he'll change. I'm saying, I'm saying, but I hope that next year it rolls a lot. They will say, son, I will rule it

loud

ly.

Have you talked to anyone? Do you know anything about the NYPD? Did you talk here? Not really, there is no correct data from the police, but what I am saying is that if I manage to have a dialogue, you could definitely talk. I'm not against talking mm-hmm with them about you know how I can improve my career. You know, I'm talking to you like I'm telling you that we could definitely place this. This seems like something low they're going through, so I might know. I'm sure like my family, yeah, they should be informed, they should be informed of all the quality that you're doing for yourself, your family, your community, and yeah, man, I think I think that some dialogue like Cosme's, You know, show us you were there, Chef Dawn.

You know, we come from certain places where it's like it's not the sweetest thing. I say it so we try to understand it. Hmm, when you stop doing it, when you stop us from doing shows like that, you heard us, but I'm saying. Like you're trying to keep us there, you know, it's almost like you're being forced back to the right. I say it, but I don't think I'm quite sure that you don't see it that way, that's why I don't understand it, I don't really take it personally, right, it's probably another reason, but I hope we show it, I wish we put a announcer that morning, in fact, yes, and what do you know, speaking of performances?

It's been the one place you've ever gone to perform that surprised you the most and and just like you're like oh oh, I'm not crazy yet, but I mean, I went, I did a show in Albany, uh-huh, when while I was. Like 7,000 people, yeah, crazy, so shout out, opener Tony's been the best spot, yeah, so far, yeah, thanks, there was a party you did here in LA where that video clip went viral a couple ago of weeks and I think it was booming. It was the strip club, something like that, that made me wish I was there at that moment, the way you all swayed, but I love watching it because there was so much energy around it and, you know, seeing me I sat back. embracing your movement that's how it was, it was exciting to see you, man, yeah, congratulations on that man we're looking forward to, we're looking forward to the volume.

Is there a date for that yet? There's no exact date, but it's coming out, so hopefully next month okay, okay. I'm excited for that man, thanks for coming, we appreciate it, there's always open doors when you're in LA and we need to get some food or something next time there's smoke. Master the Leakers in Power 106, good luck.
