So when I create it and then play it, I have a different feeling. Lil Baby: That shit is crazy. Rob Markman: I want to try something with you, I'll put you on the spot, don't be scared.

The talk is money, black, you want some? Rob Markman: Hey, Lil Baby here with the Jeezy, man, look, that was cool.
