Below the Surface Podcast
The Blueprint of Midwest Culture, Undiluted and Underground.
Before the algorithms and the streaming platforms, there was public access. Below the Surface Podcast is the direct evolution of The 411: Your Underground Connection, which originally hit the airwaves on Public Access Channel 16 in East Chicago, Indiana. Born from the raw, community-driven era of cable access television, the platform has spent decades documenting the architects of Midwest street and electronic music culture.
Now operating as a fully independent media network and LLC, Below the Surface continues its original mission: digging beneath the mainstream noise to preserve the true history of regional hip-hop, house music, and DJ culture. Through deep-dive artist interviews, vinyl archaeology, and unfiltered commentary, the podcast serves as a living archive for the innovators, the record collectors, and the independent collectives who built the Midwest sound from the ground up.
From Channel 16 to the digital landscape, we don't just cover the culture—we are a part of its lineage.

SPEAKER_03Yep. I mean, even before I I came around hanging with Rick Rock, Rick was already interviewing cats. Like I I I can't hate to keep saying it, but he was already interviewing Freddie Gibbs. Freddie Gibbs wasn't even on the mainstream like he is now. He was interviewing DMX, Onyx, Lincoln Park, Cypress Hill. I mean, dude, you you had big names under your belt, brother.

SPEAKER_06Can we call it Filthy Friday tonight?
SPEAKER_03Fifty Friday filthy Friday, motherfuckers.
SPEAKER_06Right, yeah, real.
SPEAKER_09That's definitely real, man.
SPEAKER_03Um talk a little bit about um, we've had Custom Aid on the show before. He's gave us a little background about himself. Talk a little bit about you, bro. Um, how you came up and got into the music game.
SPEAKER_10Um so I'll just start at the time when I first started taking like rapping uh serious. Uh I would say um probably like my senior year of high school. Um that's when I really first started like really jotting down, you know what I'm saying, bars or what have you. And then um I went to school in Nashville. I went to school in Tennessee. And so when I went to Tennessee, um I formed well, I didn't form a group, I joined a group. We called ourselves uh the starring artists. I was from Chicago, was one dude from Indianapolis, another dude from California, and another dude from Tennessee. And so we had got like three mixtapes there. And uh when I was in Nashville, I started kind of like you know, building a little reputation off uh for myself as far as a rapper is concerned. And so fast forward in uh 2005, I uh I moved back home to Chicago. Um once I moved back home, I just started recording. Like I didn't, I just uh my man had a studio at his crib, just started recording, just gave me a page, I'm just writing verses, recording songs. Uh and then I joined the um and I want to say probably around like 2008, 2009. Uh me and uh y'all know um Andreas Haley. Yep, oh yeah, yeah, Andreas Haley, man. That's my brother, man. Me and him. Oh, okay. That's what's up, dude. Yeah, that's that's that's that's my guy, man. Uh, but we was in a group together called Substance, and so we got a good group. Uh we did the group all the way up to like 20 2014 2015, and then that's when we uh you know branched out, you know what I'm saying, started solo careers. Uh so I would say my solo career started around 2016, but I've been doing it for real for real since probably like 2005.
SPEAKER_03Okay, hell yeah, dude. Well, um, how many uh how's your uh discography? How many uh projects have you putting out?
SPEAKER_10Um full plate makes my I want to say it's my 11th or 12th album. Oh damn, hell yeah, dude. Yeah, uh I made a couple of EPs in between, so like as far as like EPs and albums together, I probably got about 16-17 projects out.
SPEAKER_03Damn, that's what's up, dude. Putting that work, man.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh consistency is key.
SPEAKER_06It is, yeah, man. Yeah, you got a repertoire to prove that yeah, yeah, man.
SPEAKER_10So, like uh, if nothing else, I I want to say since 2016, I've at least put out an album every year. Hell yeah, that's what's saying at the bare minimum. One year I think I put out three. Hell damn, dude. Hell yeah. So yeah, man, just you know, and it's and it's it's uh I don't know, I can say it's weird. I guess it's weird to me because it's like I've been doing it for a minute now, but it's just like now with uh with uh with the release of full plate, and then um I want to say I was talking to one of my other producers, Decca Durves. He produces an album called Beautiful Dirt. And I want to say I dropped Beautiful Dirt. I want to say late 2024.
SPEAKER_03Uh oh like he froze up he lagged out a little bit. See if he comes back.
SPEAKER_06I think he froze up. Custom, you got anything to um to uh add with the conversation with uh Ilgord as far as uh uh coming up because we we did an interview uh what how you go in it?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, when we when we uh we did a cup uh actually you guys uh for solar five album. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, solar fives album. We uh we talked about that, yeah. But waiting for Gordo. So uh he you know, I met him, like I've known of him. Um I know well I know of him, you know, because of Andreas Haley, but like prior to that, like I was aware of like Andreas and and Gordo like through substance, you know, like I you know I knew of them in the scene, but I didn't really know him like that. And then one day, you know, I just reached out to Andreas and then we knocked out uh It's Nasty outside that we dropped. And then from there, like you know, I got to meet like their whole crew, you know, and that's how I met Gordo. And like I was always a fan of Gordo. He did a dope album with Decca Dirk, shout out to Decca Dirst. Uh it's called Um Beautiful Dirt. So, you know, when I listened to the album, like, yo, you know, Gordo's really dope. So, you know, it was just like you know, just saying what's up to each other, being cordial, and then um and he knew that I already worked with Andreas. So I just say, hey, if you want to try it out, let me know. And and then here we are, you know. But it was an interesting like process, um, you know, as far as like collabing on this, um, you know, because when essentially like it's a little funny story, kinda, because you know, when I make beats, like I always try to like, I always have an intention, right? Like, I put a beat folder together, and then I'd be like, okay, let me send this. And I always put like the stuff that I really want them to rap on. And then in this instance, like he only picked like one beat that I really wanted it to rap on. Oh damn. And he like, you know, he kind of just went a different route and he explained why. But you know, at the time, I was like, man, I'm like, uh, he didn't really like pick anything that I I liked, you know. But I also threw like a bunch of random beats in there only because like I always want to give the rapper, you know, the the chance to like pick the the vibe and and the whole style, you know what I'm saying? So like yeah, um, so yeah, like you know, when I sent him the initial beat pack and then what I initially intended and what what the end result was was not what I expected, but what Bordo did was like really, really dope. And you know, he like he had everything laid out. He showed me one song, and I'm like, you know what? Don't show me anything. I trust your judgment, just do you, and then send it to me when it's ready. And I was just like, damn, this is dope. Like, you know, he he picked beats that I I didn't really like care for, but at the same time, like what he did and the features he got and all that, it just like he literally like put a masterclass and like you know, being a conduit to like my my beats and him just like you know doing what he does lyrically. And like he he like it was like you know, it was like carving out a diamond type of thing, you know. Like he did, he did his work, man. And it's like uh, you know, not because he's rapping on my album and I'm the producer, but like, you know, overall, like the full plate is literally like something for everyone, like there's something you're gonna want out of it, you know. It's like a 10-course meal, you know what I'm saying? So so yeah, man, like that's basically how it came about and stuff, man. So yeah.
SPEAKER_03I was gonna ask about the production too, because I've heard the other albums you produce, like every album you put out, I've listened to the production, and this production was like any other that I've heard from you. So I was gonna ask, like, I was like, I wonder if he sent him all the beats and he just rapped to all the beats in the folder, or if he or if he didn't.
SPEAKER_02Well, that was the thing. Like, I had like, you know, I initially sent him a certain amount that I wanted him to rap on, but then I also throw in like the equal amount of things that he might be interested in, but you know, I never like I throw some curveballs in there, but you know, there was other stuff that I had just in case because like I said, and what I intended and what what the outcome was were two different things, you know what I'm saying? So, and then like you know, through the process, like of what he explained, you know, it's like he wanted to go a different route, he didn't want to remake what he he's already done, and you know, so like it's crazy. Like, I literally make a bunch of beats every day, and then you know, when I have someone in mind, I'll definitely put stuff together for them, but then I'll also throw a bunch of stuff that I'm not sure about because like you know, it might be a little too edgy or too soft or you know, too mellow or whatever. So, you know, but I don't ever want to take that option away from an artist, you know, like from a rapper. Like, you know, sometimes when they hear shit, they're gonna hear it, and if it talks to them, they're gonna do it, you know what I'm saying? And to me, that's that's the initial move, you know. So I respect that. So that's exactly what happened, though. Like, you know, Gordo will tell you, like, I had intended a whole different sound, and he's like, nah, bro, I got this, and he did his thing, right? So, yeah, and you know, so so yeah, like I'm I'm just I'm super proud and like you know, really like happy that like he did what he did, and it's dope to like have a rapper that knows what he has to do, and you know, there's not a lot of hand on like it was on my behalf, like it was very effortless. Like, I just sent him the beat pack and he got he worked on it what he had to do and he did him, and like from the features to like the way he arranged everything, you know, it was really dope, you know. And then shout out to the homie Dr. Mindbender too, you know, for putting the finishing touches, but like overall, man, like you know, you know, Gordo's a vet, bro. Like, you know, he'd been in the game for a minute, yeah. So like I didn't expect anything less, but I definitely didn't expect what we have. And it's always dope, it's always a surprise, like, you know, when someone kind of like he literally took took it to another level in regards to like what we could do sonically, you know what I'm saying? And it also showed people a little bit more of my range because I literally like to stay in one type of lane, but like you can't sit, like if you were to listen to this album and you didn't know who we were, you would assume that there was different producers on this album, and that's another thing too, you know, because like I like making all kinds of stuff, but there is a particular lane I stay in, but you know, Gordo saw some, you know, he heard different things, so and here we are, you know what I'm saying? So it was dope, it's dope, man. And I hope you guys listen to it and like you know, um, you know, vibe off with it. There's some summer bangers on there, there's something for everyone, man. Like, you know, there's there's some life shit.
SPEAKER_06There's some title of the album is is is hits on point, yeah. Because what you said, what I said, what Jay said is like there's different vibes encompassed in one plate, you know. The plate has different you got your meat, you got your veggies, you got your potatoes, and that's how it is, man.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and overall, even got some vegan food in there, too. It's all there, bro. Soul food, Mexican food, Greek food, all that shit's in there, bro. It's yeah, no doubt.
SPEAKER_06That's what you truly be proud of.
SPEAKER_10I appreciate it. Yes, uh, yes uh, yeah, that was uh that was the whole thing, man. I know I got uh booted off, I was having some technical difficulties, um, but yeah, to Custom's point, man. Like when um when he sent me the beats, I think you know, I think he sent me uh a 50 pack, you know what I'm saying? He said, and out that 50, I chose 20 initially. I chose 20 out the 50. And so then out that 20 I chose, I said, okay, I already kind of had an idea of how I wanted the album to sound. Um I knew which direction I wanted to go into before I even heard the beats. So as I was listening to the beats, I was already listening for specific types. Um so out that 20, I then eliminated the 10. I think I eliminated nine that would be the typical beats that I would rap over, like with my typical style aggressive bars, boom bad. Uh and so once I nailed it down to those uh the 10 that made the album, um, I literally just let the song kind of tell me which direction to go in. Um I could have definitely got on my typical, you know, bar heavy stuff, but I was like, no, I want this just to be a dope album, period. Like I want it to be hip hop by default. I want people to hear it and be like, man, this is the album was thought out very well. Yes, yeah, yeah. I was this was probably this out of all of my albums, this is probably the one I was the most intentional with.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I was doing that listening to the album, and I'll tell you like this. I I listened to it this morning and I just let it play. I didn't look at it, I didn't check out the name or anything, I just let it play and walked away, and I just see what resonated. And you know, when you when you catch it, it catches you, you be like, Oh, you know, you get that stink face, you know.
SPEAKER_08What's going on, bro?
SPEAKER_11What up, fellas? Oh damn, oh damn, what's up, baby?
SPEAKER_02What's good, Dre?

Master is that what it's called?
SPEAKER_08I think I'm gonna sit back.
SPEAKER_03So um that shit, yeah, because the album, like I said, when it started off, I was sounding custom. Or I don't know if I was sounding custom or Rick Rock. I was like, dude, I I caught like a West Coast vibe right off bat. And I'm like, wait a minute. Okay, and then it like completely changed. And I'm like, oh, there we go, there we go. And then it changed again, and I'm like, oh shit. And then I was like, damn, yeah, the album was definitely a roller coaster vibe. So we're getting into that shit, man, right now. House of Chen.

And um, you know, obviously I had to have Andreas Haley on there, man. That's that's my like I said, that's my bro. And when I thought about the joint, I'm like, I legit thought about times when me and him was out kicking it somewhere, doing some some bullshit, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02What's good, fam?
SPEAKER_11Listen, when Godot sent me that beat, and he sent the title with the whole thing. Oh my god, he gave me the whole I say, man, this nigga custom is ridiculous, man, because I know I remember all the shit you gave me, right? I know all the shit I'm featured on. I didn't listen to I Am God shit. I didn't listen to so much of your shit, bro. And then I come across his album, I'm like, this my customer's crazy, bro. I just wanted to come back on and say that, man, and thank you for for the feature, bro. You know what I'm saying? It's a it's a vibe, but mind you, I I got a pack from you right now. Again, a new pack. This man is crazy. I just want y'all to know that.
SPEAKER_03Damn, flipped it up on somebody, man.
SPEAKER_02I'm just trying to I'm trying to just make something happen, you know what I'm saying? But man, I appreciate these guys, man. They they're some of the hardest working dudes. They really talented, you know, they're they're dedicated to their craft. And the best thing about it is like they're like the most like humblest dudes ever, man. They ain't not no bullshit like that. They don't, they don't, you know, they're always trying to build with people, you know what I'm saying? So like it's like anyone that messes with like Gordo or like Andreas, like, I just know off bat, like they're just not some cool, like hardworking shit, you know, like they they're just laid back, but they all got like they all got their own shit, man. They got their own style, you know, they got their own hustle, you know, they they know how to rap, they know how to, they know how to perform, and they just they, you know, like when we did the release party on May 15th for Gordo's album, you know, it was very wholesome, but it was really real too, because like, you know, his people showed up and showed out, and it was just like a dope vibe, you know what I'm saying? Like it was it was very like humbling because like, you know, everybody was just chilling, vibing, and you know, it was a good time, man. So, and you know, and it was very similar to like what we did with Andreas' album. So it's like the right people were there, and the people that really wanted to be there were there, and that's that's what made it dope, man. You know what I'm saying? So it's always dope to have to have those kind of connections, you know. So, like, yeah, man, I I I relish all this stuff, you know what I'm saying? Like, I relish this stuff. I might not say much, like, you know, I always tell Goro, like, I'm fucking hella antisocial, but when it comes to this shit, like, you know, like I I really love like you know, just the whole process and building with people, you know what I'm saying? So it's really dope.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, man.
SPEAKER_06You get lifted, you know? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, because I think me and Custom got cool on Facebook too, and and we were like we were like each other's posts for a long time, and then we finally started connecting, like messaging each other, and that's when we got. I was like, hey man, you gotta come on the show, dude. Yeah, man.
SPEAKER_02It's just crazy because like you know, like I know all y'all because of Yoda, and then like you know, um, it's just like because of Psalm and all that. It's like everybody got is connected somehow or another, you know. So it's just really dope how like how far the reach goes. Like they always say you're only five people away from knowing the whole world, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, it's dope, man. It's dope.
SPEAKER_03Hell yeah, man. For sure, for sure. Um damn, I gotta play another one of my favorites, man. I'm sorry, bro. I'm like, I want y'all to pick some tracks too, but I I'm like, I know what I want to hear too, man.

SPEAKER_10We can get it, pop it like I'm playin' with some quick clack. Losing not an option when I'm playing that's big facts. Tell them all sit back, oh I go and get back. We can get it, pop it like I'm playin' with some quick black. Loser's not an option when I'm playing with that six facts. Oh, you know what I'm on. My soul like touchdown, rapid is bust down. Do anything that gets in the way, we're gonna last one round. Yes, chicken weak like cutting power. I'm like, wow, this is like when I see I don't think what I'll do now. Cause I guarantee it gets worse. Yeah, I got my rap custom cars. Cause I got somebody to move. Cold cap it with the coffin just like them left door. Stick with me up to the world when you don't have a wall. Niggas really move weird, get up to a score. Tell you dude, I rap niggas like a core. I'm doing numbers like there with no bodies and so it gets old. Don't wanna be a laptop that you took a hole. So I'm out sick back. When I got it, as a cleaner thing before I get back. What can get it, stop it like I'm playin' with some flip facts. That's fixed back. Tell them all sit back. So I'm gonna wake it back. When I got it, as a cleaner thing before I get back. Wicking get it, I feel like I'm playin' with some fix facts. Yep, I'll start with that. My balls in fact, I'm still gonna rap you dig like more facts. My cut of a fact is more sight because niggas don't flow. But I the main reason that I don't go right, it's so right. We have to be a hill on a cold night. Don't let up start to play me, but you think it's a cold fight. I rap in my whole life, so you can't stop me. I bet niggas don't like west into your arts, she find me. When I think you win my face, and that means anywhere, anytime any breast.
unknownNo time to waste like I gotta rich the mill on the west. I'm stuck in the space, and so I gotta mill in the space. I'm still in the space, I'm dominant, the future is proper set.
SPEAKER_10So when I've done it, we'll be a monument. Well it's gonna get that much of compliment. I'm coming in for comedy. We can get it up like I'm playing with some quick facts.
SPEAKER_06I like that instrumental man. Do some beat juggle to that beat, man.
SPEAKER_10Hell yeah. What's crazy?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, oh no, man.
SPEAKER_10Um that song, that song flew. Like that that took me all of maybe five, seven minutes to write. Um because legitimately, once I got the the feel of it, the pen just was it was effortless at that point. It just it just flowed out. That was the easiest song for me to write on the entire album. Wow. And it's you know, it's that's why that's one of the ones we got a video too. Oh, hell yeah, man.
SPEAKER_06Well, we'll do it, we'll come back. We'll come back soon. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, click clax is that's that's one of the ones that was like, let me get you know, let me get back in my bag. Definitely.
SPEAKER_06How many videos you made for this album right now?
SPEAKER_10I have two out right now. A third one gonna be dropping soon. My goal is to shoot at least seven.
SPEAKER_06Oh shit. Well, when you get it done, just get back with us. We're playing like back to back. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_03Have a whole video show.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, it'll be a whole video show.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, that's that's the uh that's the goal. And then even when I think about the album and I think about the songs, I'm like, I legitimately can do a video for every song in the album. Damn.
SPEAKER_02That's fine.
SPEAKER_10Like every song has that has that feel to where you know it deserves a video.
SPEAKER_03For sure, man.
SPEAKER_06I for sure, why not? So you have the vision of what uh what uh the whole video will be about and messaging it.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, so right now, realistically, I'm thinking anywhere between five and seven. Um but if I can't push uh video for each joint, that yeah, that would that might happen as well.
SPEAKER_03Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_10I'm with it, dude.
SPEAKER_03We'll play them on here.
SPEAKER_10Absolutely. I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_03So everything's on bandcamp, right? For for for purchasing merch and all that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, crack. It should be hitting DSPs pretty soon.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, I'm uh I'm probably gonna hit DSP sometime next month.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_10Still wanna uh, you know, push the album, uh the vinyl and the merch and everything else. And I plan on doing like a uh towards the end of the summer, early fall, I plan on doing uh um a performance of the album. Like I did the entire album. Uh I'm trying to get a drummer and a bass player as well to perform the entire album from beginning to end.
SPEAKER_03What what part of Chicago are you are like Illinois are you from?
SPEAKER_10Uh I'm on the South Side.
SPEAKER_03So I think my homie Keith King stays out there, he's a drummer. Okay. So Keith King and um what's the other cat's name, Rick Rock? Tim Lee. Okay from uh baby brother.
SPEAKER_06Okay, no shit. They're from Northern Chicago.
SPEAKER_03They're fucking badass, dude.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, they'll bring the pain.
SPEAKER_03Okay because I used to have a rock band back in the day. We were called Dirty Energy, and we had uh bass player, guitar player, drums. It was me and another MC, and we had uh a dude who played percussion named Funky Phil, man. I didn't know Funky Phil, he's related to Keith Jackson, which is a cousin of Michael Jackson. Wow, it's crazy.
SPEAKER_10So yeah, there's there's that separation we were just talking about.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Keith Jack Keith Jackson, man. You should check him out. He's he's super dope. Okay, yeah, he's on his own thing.
SPEAKER_02Totally random and unrelated, but I heard that Samuel L Jackson is actually related to the Jackson. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, like I think he's like a he's like a cousin.
SPEAKER_10He's like a cousin, he's like from one of the family. Oh well, you know what? I can see Samuel and Joe being related.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_10I can see that.
SPEAKER_02It's crazy. Yeah, I could have sworn I saw uh an interview with Janet Jackson like a few years ago, and that she said it, you know, straight from the horse's mouth. She's like, Yeah, he's our cousin, and everyone's like, What? And it's crazy because Samuel L. Jackson never says that shit. No, he's a need to, he's his own entity.
SPEAKER_06He's writing anybody's all.
SPEAKER_02He needs to say is motherfucker.
SPEAKER_06That's it.
SPEAKER_03Fucking Samuel L. Jackson. That's all he gotta say.
SPEAKER_02I think I think he's like uh the most he's got the most movies than anyone in Hollywood under his belt.
SPEAKER_10Probably, yeah.
SPEAKER_02He does, yeah, probably. I believe it too.
SPEAKER_10He does, and I heard I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that it's actually in his contract that he has to say, motherfucker. I wouldn't, I would have doubt it, bro.
SPEAKER_08I would have doubt it.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, because I'm trying to think of a movie where he has not said it, yeah.
SPEAKER_03For sure.
SPEAKER_10It's like I don't know if they pay him extra or what, but at this point, there's something in his contract where he says it pretty much in every role he plays.
SPEAKER_03Right, right. Samuel L. Jackson.
SPEAKER_06Oh man, can you have him narrate books on on fucking uh yeah yeah, have him read children's books, yeah.
SPEAKER_10Hell yeah, that would be wild.
SPEAKER_06Mother goose motherfuckers, right?
SPEAKER_02Right, see, I'm bringing it up because Gordo's got everyone sliding through over there, so I'm hoping Samuel L. Jackson would just pop over there.
SPEAKER_03Oh shit, man.
SPEAKER_10If Samuel L. Jackson slides through, then I'm doing something right.
SPEAKER_03All right, that's what I'm saying, bro. Hell yeah. Um, I want to let you guys pick the last track we played for tonight, man. So you tell me what we haven't played, I'll play it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I think I think I let me do this one, bro. Let me do it. We're gonna go with track number one, Trolls. That is a very powerful song. It sets the precedent of like what's to come and listen to the lyrics, man. Like, just listen to the lyrics, it's a very powerful song.
SPEAKER_03All right, we're gonna get into it with trolls, man. Below the surface, let's check it out. I hate the whole plate. The whole plate.
SPEAKER_10Okay, yeah. You know, it is what it is, and a lot of times it's just about the cry. That's real. Yeah. Yeah, because this is me always this upper scrolling. When they know my body's shit at any given moment. Kill them all, send the family of my condonants. I will not lose no matter who is my opponent. Yeah, cause this is me, always this rapist point. When they know my body shit at any given moment. Yeah, cause this is in me, you always disappear. I will not lose no matter who with my opponent. Just win your dope be then you know I'm opposed. I'm not running this trap, just like I'm just a young. Always make my points and I always don't have to go. I'll make it stand up once, it's kinda like a tour. No it's always stand up with a nigga for it.
unknownIt's so perfect, and it's not to make it on the worst. You can see the picture of the worst, yeah, that's the first bit. But they will it changes battle, man. They like it with it, like it's not a bit. Yeah, it's on the bottom. Uh a shit, I just take it out of the way.
SPEAKER_10I got the audience to do what I say I'ma do. I can stay wrong when I came up to board. Yeah, cause this is in me or with this I'm showing. When they know I body shit at any given moment. Kill a boss in the family or fucking donuts. I will not move no matter who is my opponent. Yeah, cause it's in me or with this I'm going. When they know I bought this shit at any given moment. Yeah, cause this in me or with this app is going. I will not move no matter who's my opponent. They will say anything, so they can get attention. I'm running circles where they at like they need a message. These niggas scary, they yellow belly like homosexuit. I'm just selective, I know my victims before I kill them. So know the difference, they reckless, I'm moving with intention. So when they say I'm the illicit, don't need no convention. I get away with killing you, I gotta kill the winners. So I can get booked in this jungle like I'm booed up in place. Cause I'll be fucked in them ass sit when I think attended. My imperfection looks good like the perfect limit. It only adds to the aesthetics of my image. My whole squad don't play that's how you know we win it. We play a little bit rap, but it's like then similar. So if they say they want static, we move in the hit, don't go holler. So if you get offended, know every word in the sentence. I'm still we miss it. Yeah, because it's in me or with this upper points. When they know what body shit at any given moment. Kill a boss in the family of fucking donuts. I will not move no matter who's my opponent. Yeah, because it's in me or with this application. When they know I body shit at any given moment. Yeah, cause it's in me or with this appetite. I will not move no matter who was my opponent. Yeah, hell yeah. That was a great choice, Custom. Hell yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, man. Gordo makes it easy, man.
SPEAKER_03I think you both make it easy, man. Production once the top.
SPEAKER_06Hey, present and bars, man.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. I mean, honestly, like um, I knew that uh I knew I wanted to work with custom. So it was two projects that custom was a part of that really kind of piqued my interest towards them. It was the uh I think a project he did with I Am God, and then um the project he did with uh Andreas Haley. Um when I heard both of those projects, I'm like, okay, cool. First of all, I was like, who is Custom? You know what I'm saying? Like who is this person? You know what I'm saying? Uh but I feel like the opportunity presented itself when um when Andreas dropped uh his nasty outside. Um that's when I actually first met him. I came to the listener party to support, and that's when he and I first met, you know what I mean? Uh at that point, he didn't know I was already a fan of his production. Uh and at that point, I didn't know if he had ever heard anything from me. Oh, you know, period, you know what I'm saying? Actually, side note honestly, because I didn't even know if uh you knew this or not. I didn't think custom rocked with me at all at first. And I'm gonna tell you why. And Dre can attest to this story. Hey Dre, what the what the hell?
SPEAKER_03Right, this is your life, custom.
SPEAKER_11Right, hey, come here, come here real quick.
SPEAKER_10Look, this what happened, G, when Dre was making is nasty outright. I'm gonna just get to the the the quick version of it. I I was featured on the joint, you know what I'm saying? And Dre uh took the uh his project to custom, I mean, took it to custom, took it to the label, what have you, and it was between my joint and another joint that made the album, and it was like, yeah, gee, go on Gordo, you gotta go ahead and walk out, you know what I'm saying? You gotta cut out. I was like, damn, you know what I'm saying? So at that point, I wasn't sure if custom rocking or not. Granted, I knew it was for the betterment of Grace Project, you know what I'm saying? It was kind of like this song, I don't know what the other song it was, it was like this on Fitzmour, etc. etc. Uh so at that point it's like, man, I don't even know because the one song I was on most of the song, we didn't make the album. Um so at that point I went to cool. But then once we met each other at uh his release party, that's when you know we kind of met. I told him the album's dope or how you then shortly after that, we kind of linked and he put it out there like, man, what's up? It was kind of just like, you know, at that point, I knew that I wanted to create something special. Because for me, I was like, bro, I know what he did with Iron God, I know what he did with Dre. I can't be the fall. You know what I'm saying? I can't I can't be the like, okay, you know, that project goes, that project goes. When he did with Wordo is um nah, I couldn't be the fallout, so I knew that I uh I wanted to uh do something special, and that's probably why I went into this project with a lot more attention.
SPEAKER_02All right, that's dope, that's dope, man. You learn something new every day, man.
SPEAKER_11Really, that shit like my fault. You know what I'm saying? You know, I took too long to kick in the track, and it was all type of track because I don't even think you never recorded the track, did you? Nah, you never even recorded it, yeah, yeah. Nah, man. Hey, bro, hey Andre, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, becoming shit.
SPEAKER_02Man, you didn't take you didn't take long at all, man. Like everything happened at the time it needed to happen to, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like life sometimes life happens, man, and who am I to fucking tell someone how to live, you know what I'm saying? So I'm just saying, like everything happens for a reason, and everything ended up coming full circle anyway, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, you dropped the album, I met Gordo, you know, I listened to Gordo's beautiful dirt over and over, and then you know, we we collapsed, and here we are, and it's it's just gonna keep going, bro. Like, you know, custom may present custom may present substance, you know what I'm saying? So let's get it.
SPEAKER_08You know, let's go.
SPEAKER_02So yeah, man, like it's it's all love, man. It's it's always gonna be shit going on, man. Like, I ain't worried about it.
SPEAKER_03All right, yeah, hell yeah, man.
SPEAKER_06Shout outs on the um once again, uh let everybody know where they can get uh music and merch. Yep.
SPEAKER_10Oh yeah, man. You got a customer. That's all you, fam. Yeah, I mean definitely you get uh let me get the uh the music and the merch. Uh on band camp, I got some uh some crew necks, some t-shirts, uh some a couple CDs left, a couple vinyls left. Uh but uh for the vinyls, I think we definitely still got some CDs left on the band camp. I think uh on band camp, all the vinyls are sold out. So if anybody do want to buy, they just hit me up directly, anywhere on social media, Instagram, Facebook, wherever you hit people up at you, just hit me up and I can get that to you. Um same thing with the CDs and the uh merch, but like I said, I'll be having some of those up. The download of the album right now is exclusively on band camp and nowhere else. Um and we'll probably be making it available for streaming within the next month or so. You know what I'm saying? We really want to max out on uh this opportunity with the vinyl and the band camp first. Then once that kind of you know, died down, then we're gonna put it down and stream and whatnot. So right now, band camp, hit me up for those merch and vinyl and CDE.
