SPEAKER_02

It feels good, man. Like, it feels good to receive that love, you know, the love that you that you thought wasn't gonna be there, you know what I mean, just from just from past experiences and the way everything was going beforehand. So to receive all this love like this, to be able to still move around and you know I mean, still be able to provide for the family the right way this time would feel real good. For sure.

SPEAKER_04

Let's do it. Well, I've known Fetty for some time, man. So let's let's let's do this. Let's let's let's get to know a little bit about Fetty. Where you from?

SPEAKER_02

I'm from Patterson, Julius from 12, Hollywood.

SPEAKER_07

12 Fab, shouts to Patterson. Oh, yeah. Very, very familiar with Patterson. Patterson is one of my homes away from homes. Shouts to all my guys out there. Names that would be synonymous with me. He dealing with all naming names, but you know what? If you're from Patterson and you know what we mean. Um Yeah, so I've I've seen you from the beginning. Uh uh actually before I got to meet you and know that you were actually further Patterson and uh I believe I did a show with you uh in Jersey uh and I saw a young kid come out and light the stage so much that I was a asking why did uh you let him perform after. It was almost amazing to see that uh I believe it was a college show. All the kids were in there singing your song World for Word. Uh I don't think I even knew you s you s what your song was at that time. And um it was just amazing to see. Um and then uh I tried to try to uh do business with you, try to get you to sign a deal with you and shit like that. Um you was already in the works of doing the deal. Uh and then take off.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was crazy, bro.

SPEAKER_07

How does that be? What are you doing from the first take off?

SPEAKER_02

Man, that was different back then. It was 20, 2014, 2015. It's it's so crazy because like a lot of people don't understand or like everything we was doing to get to that point. You feel me? Like, you know, back then we still doing physical copy, uh, physical copy CDs. So we we we out the trunk with the CDs, we had the Remy boy sweatsuits, we had the trap point sweatsuits, and I think uh Dage Loaf was the first person to really get like like she had the pink trap point joint. You know what I mean? So when she posted it, it kind of like, wait, hold on, like who the who was this kid Fetty? Like, you know what I'm saying? That that they got Daige, you know, Dave's the hardest thing out at this time right there, you feel what I'm saying? Even though she's still doing her thing though, but you know, back in 2015, you know, that trauma record was going crazy, you know what I'm saying? So when she posted that, it was like we started shooting out Atlanta, Baltimore, um, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, you know what I mean? And then to come home, I think one night we coming from the studio in Clifton, and everybody called him my phone, like, yo, yo, yo, I'm like, what's the girl? They're like, yo, turn the radio on. I mean, we turned the radio off, you know, where while we parked the car, hop off, like, it's oh, we made it.

SPEAKER_09

Like, we made it. We ain't got no money, but we on the radio. Like, no feeling, bro.

SPEAKER_07

I remember the first time they played certified games, it's the first time the enough played that shit. I did the same thing. I had to park the car. I know that feeling was like uh like this, like uh a weight off his shoulders, and then but that's not the end of that, that's not the end of the battle when you first hit your record, and it's like, man, trying to get the deal. So you got your deal with 300, right?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, 300.

SPEAKER_07

Shout out to Kev Last, man. Incredible soul. Helped me out tremendously in my career from all that giving me some hell of an opportunities. Um and then um you sound too uh a few people from past, right? Yeah, uh are you still as close to them as you were? Uh I know I'm familiar with Niddy because I knew Niddy since he was a teenager and shit like that. Him, hard luck, all of those guys and around from when I was out there. This is way before rapping, way before anything. You know what I mean? Well, Hardwork always been rapping, you know.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_07

He's been doing this thing, that's been outside white T errors, Niddy with the brace. But I'm just saying that it's like, uh, are you still because I don't know the ins and outs. I know you've been through a lot of ups and downs and a lot of shit that could cause trauma. I'm just asking for clarity and shit like that before we get out of you. Like I know there was Monty, you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Monty Siloran. Monty Silarin, that's my guy, man. You know, I just dropped the album, the Zay Vere joint, Monty up there, Oskama up there, Hardy up there, you know what I'm saying? Like, I showed a lot of love to the city on that one, you know what I'm saying? Um, as far as me and Greg, you know, it's no bad blood, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't have no bad blood with anyone. You know what I mean? Like, um, you know, we was just ambitious. We was both, we we both had a vision, you know what I'm saying? And you know, like we was like, we was like yin and yang, you know what I'm saying, like yin and yang. Like, so it was like he saw, he saw one vision one way, I saw one vision this way, but for some in some way, some way, shape, form, or fashion, our visions always collided and it and it and it became great. You know what I'm saying? Like it was never like a head bump, like we never got in each other's way. We always elevated each other, you know what I'm saying? So for that, I'm forever grateful for that man. You know what I mean? Like, I don't I don't talk bad about nobody, no matter the current situation of what's going on, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, if it wasn't for bro, you know what I mean, it would be no fatty wop. So, you know what I mean? Like, a lot of people, a lot of people get in their feelings and they try to discredit people, they try to discredit people or try to disown what they what they did to uh help the foundation. You know what I'm saying? So for me, like I never had no bad blood, you know what I'm saying, with nobody, you know what I mean, because all in all, this wouldn't be, we wouldn't even be having this conversation if it wasn't for Niddy. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00

So do you do you take everything you went through as a learning experience or do or you do you be bitter about some of these things at times?

SPEAKER_02

No, I I take it all as a blessing, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, coming from nothing, bro, I ain't have nothing. You know what I'm saying? Nothing, nobody with nothing. You know what I mean? Like, so just a just a young kid from from 12 dive, like, you know what I mean, just trying to make my way, like, whatever I had to do with that the time, you feel me? Like, coming from nothing to like even going through the situations I had, I went through, just to say I had multi-million dollar problems, you know what I'm saying? Just to put my name in type of type of conversations like that is a blessing. Some people don't understand that, you know what I mean? Some people will understand that coming from the type of areas we come from, the way we grew up, to be a part of those conversations is still a blessing, even if the even if it was a bad thing.

SPEAKER_07

You know what I'm saying? As you can see, everybody takes things different. Some people might take the the for what you went through as the finances and from the picture that's painted, because I don't know the ins and outs, but I know how it could be for artists and for anybody to take advantage of you, especially somebody that you fuck with before, can be a lot. I mean, it's heartening and shit like that. Some people take it as a lesson, some people take it as I need to get back. But to hear you talking is great. But I do know that you go through it, man. I do remember uh you talking about uh how you learn harmonies and shit like that.

SPEAKER_02

Should we get into that cultural background and shit like that? Yeah, my grandfather, my grandfather was an apostle, you know what I'm saying? He he had his own church and everything. My mother's a singer, my father played a balls, my brother's a singer, both of my sisters a singer. My brother and my two sisters on the album, too. I put the hope there.

SPEAKER_08

Y'all hear cheese. Y'all hear cheat.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, but I don't know if a lot of people know that. I just remember that from uh few deep conversations we had in the beginning before. Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_03

He actually how do you even get that harmony like that? You say you really had a church background. Yeah, for sure. I grew up in the church also. I never w was good at harmony, no matter what, could be in the choir, probe and banana. It was a duck.

SPEAKER_07

I had to learn how to rap though, and shit like that. So I'm I wanted you to give people a taste of where your uh musical background started and shit like that.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

From doing that, when what turned it into you want to become an artist?

SPEAKER_02

Really? I ain't never born to be a rapper. Like I never thought about it. It was never like a plan. This happened in 2006. This was 06 or 07. I meant Monty. My Monty at the Dominican Parade in Patterson through one of my homies' house party. And Monty is the one that introduced me to everybody. That's when I met uh Hardy and I met uh I met Niddy and all of them. I met all of them at the same time down at Q Studio on Bunker Hill. You know what I mean? Like I was in there, I'm in there, I'm like, oh, this, this is how this gets done. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, this this fire right here. Like, you feel me? So it was like I went back, I'm like, I'm about to try to rap. I see everybody in there, you know, this the this the notepad, you know what I mean? Notepad era. Everybody got their notepads, papers, little scribbled up papers. I mean, I'll go back. I'm on YouTube, let me listen to some beats.

SPEAKER_04

And I remember uh my bro bro wanted to uh had brought a studio for uh Hardy and then when he was Hardy with Santana and shit like that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that was all that was on Q joint. Yeah, that was Qjo Joint, right? Oh boy.

SPEAKER_04

I remember it. History used to make that. It was like, yo, you need to telepunk. I was like, nah, I got I've I've known this show, man. Let's do some session stuff.

SPEAKER_06

Let's get listen let's let's let's let's let's get into it a little.

SPEAKER_04

Wow, we can do it.

SPEAKER_06

You gonna set it off? Let's do uh let's go uh um pull ups to push ups.

SPEAKER_10

All right, so sure. Send no more, we can definitely get a real car.

SPEAKER_07

See, we could do a good test test while we get this uh energy going. You're playing like you're acting like this man ain't multi-platform, stupid pack packed dog. How many players you got?

SPEAKER_06

You have I done lost cow, bro.

SPEAKER_02

Man, I just went uh uh track playing double diamond. Six and nine just went dominant.

SPEAKER_05

Yo, listen. You all know what double diamond is, bro. That's ten million copies. You want double diamonds? That's 20 million copies, bro. 20 million copies.

unknown

Are you dumb?

SPEAKER_05

Like, that's why the Ferrari's in here, bro. I don't even know how to say that shit record a cycle, whatever it's called, it's in here, bro. A dumb, you ain't even gonna talk with me the upper record. That was one record. You say you want two diamonds on. God damn, God bless you, my brother. So, how does that feel?

SPEAKER_10

Feel like a good job's done. You know what I mean? Like, I work hard for that. Like, everybody doubted that record, you know what I'm saying? Like, everybody. Like, oh, that bone, that's not gonna make it.

SPEAKER_02

That sound ain't gonna make it. Oh, they was frightening on that record? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, they wasn't rocking with that.

SPEAKER_01

Did I kind of throw you off when you when you see people with the label like kind of funning on it too?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, nobody believed in that song. Oh, it's just a sound cloud, just going up on sound cloud. So, was I got to die? Once trap queen went, they like, all right, what else you got? You show you, I mean, sure. I'm like, I got you, I got another one. That if I'm not mistaken, I think it was Trap Queen 679. Hit him with 679. They like, hold on. 679 is just one uh one diamond.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, like skip this straight. Niggas don't even get a million in their whole career on none of these weapons. You got 30 million on two records, bro. It's crazy. So let's get a little bit deeper. So it's not about putting your business out there, but I know that you've been through a lot of things when it comes to the setup of your business. So the hell you did 30 million copies. How did I feel when you knew you could get out of industry and all the hard work that you put in it? I know that gotta be that got it has to fuck with you. Cause I've been there. I I I had some hell of a success, platinum success, and then everything's slow, so and you slowly see yourself drowning. And I haven't garnered near the success that you had when it comes to your platinum success. So I know for you to be all the way up at the top of the world and then find yourself back, so you put yourself in all types of things on the street to siege your family. How does that play on the psyche?

SPEAKER_02

Um at this at this point in my life right now, uh man, I kind of buried that. You know, like, and I and I'm I'm being honest with you, like I buried those thoughts I had about that. You know what I'm saying? Because one thing I learned about being a prison, you can't live for yesterday. You know what I'm saying? Like, yesterday happens, it's a new day. I'm a day, I'm a day closer to coming home. So with that, it also taught me mental awareness, you know, how to how to uh subject yourself around people. You know what I mean? Like dudes I'm in there with 20 years in, 30 years in, before they leave the table, they, you know what I'm saying? And it's just a mannerism thing, like, excuse me, thank you. You know what I mean? Because you don't never know. Homie right here got life. Don't say, go walk past the cell and look in there and see how you act. You know what I'm saying? Because you don't never know what could happen. So I learned how to, I learned how to put myself in a today mode. You know, like I did what I did. I'm not proud of what I did, but I stood on what I did. You know, and during those four years of me being incarcerated, I read a lot of books. You know, I smartened up, I tightened up my mental, I tightened up my uh contractual reading. Like I tightened up everything around me. So when it was time to come home, whether I was gonna go back to doing music, whatever I was gonna do in life, nobody was ever gonna play with me like that again. You know what I'm saying? Like, so to come home and be able to, yeah, all right, well, I remember this right here, let me pull a files for this. Oh, I got the copies for this, I got these statements for this, I got the bank statements for this, I got this over here. Where my money at? You know what I'm saying? Like, to be able to do that as a man by myself without having to hire somebody else to do it, hire this person to do it, hire this person to do it. You know what I'm saying? I feel like I accomplished something in those four years. And not just not just being away or being away from my kids. I never looked at it like that. I looked at it as all right, it's time to tighten up. You know what I'm saying? Like, God set you down for a reason, figure it out. You know what I mean? Are you grateful that you got left? I am. I am. It's crazy. Some people might say it sounds crazy, but you know, it slowed me down, man. Like I just I was crashing out, bro. Like I was crashing out and I was going nowhere real fast.

SPEAKER_03

You think if you wouldn't have got left up, you wouldn't have got back to the music? Nah.

SPEAKER_02

Nah, I can't, I completely lost, I completely lost the feeling. I I didn't even know how to do music no more. Like I'm I'm chasing, I'm chasing 6'7 now, I'm chasing my way, I'm chasing Trap Queen. I'm trying to figure out, like, yo, why do I got all these good hits, but I can't, I can't do no shows nowhere. I'm not getting booked. It seemed like they just burying me. Nobody ain't, everybody forgot. Oh, we mentioned oh, the 2020s and the 2010s and the 2015s, and it's like, wow, no Fetty Waving there. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, and you start to draw yourself more and more and more, you know what I'm saying? So prison just kind of like, you know, now this time, don't chase now and reinvent yourself. You know what I'm saying? Reinvent your brand, like be a brand this time. You know what I'm saying? Like how I used to, you know what I mean? The homies can't get in, I ain't coming. Now, all right, listen, bro. This business, bro. You know what I'm saying? If you can't respect that, then don't be around me. I gotta go do this, I gotta go do this show. They only let me come in there with five people, five people coming in the rest of y'all go stand on line. I'll go home. You know what I mean? Like this time is it's about the brand, it's about being a businessman, it's about showing people I'm more than just the artist. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_07

Man, it's it's at some point, we gotta learn to be selfish. Like this shit you talking about, I've been through all of it. Crazy records and the shit. Like niggas are dragging you out and like shit and trying to take care of everybody and you just but when you fall off, where them niggas went? Well, who was them niggas at when you fell off? Crazy, bro. Where the niggas was at when you got locked up? Where the niggas was at? After you took these niggas around the world, gave these niggas everything. And I'm only saying that to say this is sometimes we come to a realization that we gotta start being selfish for ourselves. Because guess what? If we don't take care of ourselves, then who the fuck could we take care of?

SPEAKER_10

Nobody.

SPEAKER_07

You heard and uh if that doesn't happen, then shit, you gonna bury yourself. So I always ask people that question I had been locked up, they bust or not being in situations. But when people come out and make the best of what they did, I know that it was a blessing for them to be out there. Cause being out here, you ain't got time to do nothing. You continuously chasing people, you don't have the time to sit down and think about anything or figure out anything and come through better in your life. We just stuck in this paradox, and that's where so many about black niggas fail and shit like that. Cause we don't have time, and not to say jail is outgrave, no. But for some people, they figured out how to take that time to rebuild themselves, come back out here and take up everything that was old. And it seems like that's the path that you're on right now. That's a fact. But maybe actually one question. Your first day you had to go in prison, what the fuck went through your mind?

SPEAKER_02

My first day? Uh let's get it over with. No bullshit, man. It was just like, alright, I'm here now, whatever. It is what it is. You know what I'm saying? Like, as soon as they put the curse on me, I was like, alright, well, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07

That's that's how you ask the people in your call and stuff with you doing that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, my sister, man. I had I had a few of my guards with me, but every day, all day, my sister. Yeah, shit. Every phone call, every commissary. Um, she drove, she drove six and a half hours, maybe, uh, maybe nine, eight times, seven months pregnant. You know what I'm saying? To come visit me, make sure she was there to give me some chicken wings on the Sunday. And that never questioned it.

SPEAKER_07

Let's let's let's get another sense. Chat, we about to go to law, chat. Sorry. I'm sorry. But some of the mistake gotta be saved for the television. We'll get back to you, Chad. Think about it. I'm trying to sleep.

SPEAKER_02

I was trying to sleep. Did it feel like Christmas? Man, it felt like every holiday you won't land. Any holiday.

SPEAKER_07

And leading up to that day was the did you was you ready for it? Because I know you was prepping. Did you have all your ducks in order? You know exactly what you wanted to do when you step out of there.

SPEAKER_02

Nah. I can't remember nothing, bro. I ain't had nothing. I ain't had no clothes. I ain't had nowhere to stay. I ain't had nothing. Whatever. So I lost everything when I was in there. Storage units got hit, lost all that. All the cars gone. Drury gone. Nothing, bro. I ain't had nothing. I wasn't going to go stay at my sister's house. I was going to stay at my sister's house. Um I was going to finish up my HVAC program. I had two courses left. Um yeah, I was going to actually uh ask one of my guys that look, let me use a van, start the business up, get a few dudes to come work with me, start my business and keep going. You know what I'm saying? Went from there, go to Florida, open up another van, another van, that was my plan. That was my plan. Uh, when I came home, well, right before I came, like two days before I came home, uh one of my close friends, you know what I'm saying? I did a lot of business with him, uh, legal business, a lot of business with him. I bought a lot of my cars from him. That's the one I got that from him too. Um, he was like, bro, you ain't coming home like that. You know what I'm saying? Like, you ain't coming home like that. Bro put me, uh, got me the flight, you know, all the jet and everything. Came with some jewelry, gave me a couple dollars, gave me an apartment and a G-Wagon. You know what I'm saying? That was my vocal home gift to him, man. Apartment, G-Wagon, a couple dollars in the jewelry. Like, don't worry about it, just, you know what I mean, when everything gets back right, you know, of course I done gave him anything back already. Like, I mean, like, I can never, even giving him whatever he gave me back still will never be enough. You know what I mean? So, uh, just to have, just to have somebody like that that had that much faith in me, you know what I'm saying? Like, like I can't, I now I can't even let myself down, you know?

SPEAKER_08

So God that got that much faith in me. And he would see the God ain't, you know that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, everything you're gonna get when you came home, you deserve it. He's gonna come to you with the bundles and shit like that. And God just wanna make sure you can do the right thing with it. That's why he gives his strongest battles to his toughest story.

SPEAKER_07

Just only to see that they can handle the next level that he's about to get. And you've been to a high level, right? So I don't know where he's about to take it away. You heard? And I'm not telling you it's not by chance. And it's great that you came back and had a plan, and then God showed you what's a real plan to touch the people. That's what you hear. But on the flip side, you should finish up the HVAC, you should take the last two courses you had. You should really get that business going because it don't take nothing for you to have that business that's still top the world. That's a fact. You're there, and it takes nothing for you to get in the shore, and you got the money for it now. By your own band now, but somebody else that needs a job, put them through the H-VAC school, put them in position. It's a real business. That's what the music is for. It's to get all these ancillary money, building businesses and brands and shit like that. They didn't make a shitload of money on the music, but what are we doing with the money that we make? That shit goes facts. Of course, real quick. You know, you already had a full plan, nigga, stick to that plan.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I ain't breaking from it. I ain't breaking from that at all. Like, you know, right now, you know, uh with certain uh certain conditions right now, you know, I just gotta wait until I'm able to, you know what I'm saying, wait until I'm able to really, really do it. You know what I mean? So you put a project out of ready. Yeah. How you feel about that? Um, I feel I f I really feel great about it. Because everybody told me not to do it. Like told you not to put out. You know, it was like the it was like a big thing where, yo, I feel like Freddie should just put out a single and then wrote the single and then do this. I'm like, bro, listen, I'm gonna give, I'm gonna give y'all 17 singles and we're gonna see which one y'all like. You know what I'm saying? And out of these 17 singles, every last one of these tracks is gonna be a different vibe. None of these gonna sound the same, you know what I'm saying? And without really, you know, like coming home, you know, I I tried to, I try to make people uh lose their sense in a s in a way. Like everybody's like, oh 27, uh 2026, the new 2016, or something like that, they were saying. And I'm like, all right, yeah, let me let me let me let me show them something different real quick. You know what I mean? Everybody wants that that old sound, I gotta show them like, you know, at a certain point I had to elevate. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07

You're doing different shit. I mean, uh a great sound is a great sound, and definitely people fans always do that though. Y'all we need the six five show. But it's like, yo, when you're doing music, you only about elevating and shit like that. But it's great to hear that to know that they love the music and they still in tone with your shit like that. Uh you got a great sound no matter what, like you. But records you did the other night and shit like that, the record that we left like the records you did for me, like I think you're about to catch another dominant and shit like that. Especially now. So you were making you were making TikTok music before TikTok.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, for sure. That that was that's something that I wasn't expecting. Like people don't understand. I made that song March, I made that song March 18th, 2013. March, March 15, 2013, I made the Trap Queen record. It didn't really go to the world until about like 2015. Like 2015, that's when the whole world knew about the song. You know, the East Coast, like tri state, 2014, it was already moving around. But um, like when I made that record, it was the same thing. Like, like, oh, we don't know.
