Alright, so I'm gonna take it back. I remember at Caramont when I seen the big dog on the blue Chevy, Flow Rider, Pit Bull, Rick Ross, everybody, do it big. They went up. And ever since that day, I was like, damn it. But if they can do it, I can do it. So the music scene after that, it just went flat because everybody was waiting for the next wave of artists that's gonna come through.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that.

SPEAKER_04 4:46

It didn't happen. It didn't happen. And I kept wondering, I'm like, what the hell going on? A lot of stuff was said, a lot of things was going around, this, that, uh, but that wasn't it. The scene wasn't ready. We had to be nurtured. So, right now, how I feel about the music scene now, at how far it done came, man, man, we got so much talent down here. Boy, do we? Man, these motherfuckers say that we ain't got no talent out here before they dead wrong. They tripping. And you know who's showing them right now?

SPEAKER_01 5:40

We got plenty of artists down here. Everything is timing, you know. Everything is timing. A lot of time, a lot of people be wanting things to happen when they ready to happen. It's not gonna happen like that. Because time heals everything. Yeah, facts. Facts. So you are you you you are you're and I see you you write books. Oh man. What you got? What you got?

SPEAKER_01 6:37

He gets mad when he don't get gifted.

SPEAKER_04 6:39

I even got one for the cameraman and the camera girl. Because I knew it was a couple of artists, a couple of people that was here. And I really want y'all to dig in. Y'all get to know who I am.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_04 6:55

You know, it took me a minute to do that because I'm a very private, private, private person. Shots out of Ace Magazine. Shout out to Ace Magazine, my boy. That's my boy. I see him at the car show. And why you doing that? Why you sitting there reading about who I am? I became who I am. I want you to pop that bottle. Oh that's what's gonna bring you back.

SPEAKER_04 8:22

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

So hey, that's what's up, man.

SPEAKER_04 8:26

Man, it's just a blessing to just be here. You hear me? And uh when I seen them boys do it, I knew it was, I knew it was possible for me to do it. That's why I dropped my new book, my new memoir, they call it. You know what I mean? I I made it short so that way you don't get bored. That's what's up. You know, hard copy on the way, however, I made a little small memoir, 48 pages. That way you can go along with the album. Executive order, loyalty, respect, honor. Because that's what I represent. That's my code, that's what I live by.

SPEAKER_00 9:05

What does legacy mean to leave you on?

SPEAKER_04 9:07

Legacy is leaving something like right now today, so the people can see. Connecting with my fans so they can see, you feel what I'm saying, how far done came and where I'm going for my daughter. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought that wasn't gonna happen, but it happened. When I say God is good, He good.

SPEAKER_00 9:34

All the time.

SPEAKER_04 9:35

He good. So legacy means everything to me at this point. Because who's gonna stick around to tell my story? Who gonna tell your story? I wanna be around and tell my own story. I wanna tell people about who I am. I don't want nobody else to tell them who I am so they can fabricate it. So they can throw it, throw salt on it. I'm gonna tell you who I am and where I came from. That's why I wrote um executive order, so I can give you a glimpse about who I am, how I came about. And I learned from the best. Because I done seen him when he did it. I seen him when they all did it. And I'm just a student. I'm just watching. I'm soaking up all the game on how they do it. Executive order, loyalty, respect, honor. What what what yeah, what what loyalty, what loyalty mean to you? Loyalty means everything to me. If I respect you for what you do, and you tell me, hey, this gonna run you da-da-da. I gotta respect that. If Walt the Walt tell me, hey, man, this is what we do over here, you know what I mean? I'ma respect that. And I'm gonna I'ma honor that. And loyalty is everything. If I give you my word, that's what it is. Your word is your balls. Everything that's the area I come from. Yeah, exactly. Facts. My balls, it's my word. And that's all I can stand on.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

I like that. I like that. I pick loyalty over love all day.

SPEAKER_04 11:16

Every day.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

All day.

SPEAKER_04 11:18

All day. You got to. You know why? And there ain't many people out there loyalty loyal to anybody. They'll say yeah, in a minute. Go right behind you and say something crazy. Crazy.

SPEAKER_01 11:31

And you know, you're up, you know what I you know one thing that I believe in. Like I always say, loyalty is a two-way street. How you want to be loyal to you, but you ain't loyal to me. Exactly. That shit ain't no one-way street. And some niggas be want, some people be wanting to be loyal to them, but they ain't loyal to you though.

SPEAKER_04 11:50

Exactly. That's why it's a two-way street. When you come up, when you think about that whole Gucci situation, it's a business and an artist standpoint of how things went. Right, right. You feel what I'm saying? I seen it from the executive side. I seen it from the artist side. And loyalty is everything. Everything. Once you break that, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

It's over.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

It's over. Ain't no coming back from that. You break that with me, that's it. That's a wrap. I'd rather just keep it moving.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

You know what I mean? And it's all love. If you had a chance to start your career from the beginning, what would it be? How would you start it?

SPEAKER_04 12:36

I'm gonna give y'all a story I ain't never told nobody. I remember I was in the studio, I was recording on the FUP mob album, Shots out to Reality. FUP mob. Ross hit me. He was like, eh. Boy, we need to do something, boy. I just seen that billboard. It was up for a whole year. He said, hey, we need to do something. I say, man, I just spent die, I spent like 40 racks putting together that thing, trying to put it out, then we went on tour. It was successful. But if I can restart my career, I would say, boy, hey, meet me over here at 8 o'clock, boy, let's do it. If I can restart that. So that's something that you should have done. And I took that to heart. Three months later, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling. I say, God damn it. But he left me a drop though. He did that off the screen. He said, Man, I respect that. Do your thing. But then I say, damn, I could have had one. But I ain't give up though. A couple months later, C Rod seen me in the studio inside the club one night and was like, Eee, boy, we need to do something. Say, boy, when you want to be? I got a studio time set up right now. I'll never take that. I'll never take that chance again. You hear me? I never take that chance again.

So I I got with the publishers, we sat down, we chopped it up, and we came up with something good. And I had a lot, and it was like, nah, I say, no, I want to put too much out. Because I want to do a series on this. I say, I want to bore people because people's attention spares.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

I can't do it by myself. You know what I mean? And I know I know the God, I know the promise that God made me. So He made me that promise, and I know it's gonna happen, and I'm just sticking to it, and that's the executive order. Go cop that. It's everywhere. Go cop that. The album is out right now.

SPEAKER_00 34:56

When the the the what how could the word when the cares of life, when everything's kind of weigh you down the burdens, you know? You know when the discouragement, the man is just gonna work out. You know what I'm saying? How you able to like overcome all that? Like, like where you pull energy from with all the the the flawless, the you know, the pretty much that the hating and everything that you ain't trying to hear, but it still comes your way. So when you do hear it, what where do you pull that strength from to be like, I'm still pressing through because you said this or because you think this is. Well, what where do that strength come from in the other stuff, man?

SPEAKER_04 35:50

I look to the hills in which coming my help. And I know my core comes from the Lord. You hear me? He made that promise to me. I prayed to him. He answered me. I didn't know what I was gonna do when I jumped. But guess what? He made it happen. He showing me in every way. He taught me lessons along the way. He built my character. He built everything. He showed me the people that are actually doing it right now. He put them right in front of me. So now that's what drives me to get out of bed every day and go in the studio and make it and keep going. Even when people hate and say, boy, you ain't gonna make it. Oh boy, this person doing this over here, I applaud you. Or this person doing over there, man, salute. You feel what I'm saying? But when they see me, you know, it's just, hey, what's up, biggie? Oh, I feature on the uh on the record, you don't even come back. It's cool. I get that. I understand. You feel what I'm saying? But I'm gonna keep going. Because I know in my heart that nobody don't owe me nothing. I know that nobody don't, don't, you know, there's nobody don't owe me anything. I gotta keep grinding, I gotta keep hustling. And that's what's gonna sustain success is what's gonna kill them. And I gotta keep going, just keep rolling, no matter what. Episode after episode, after episode, after episode.

SPEAKER_01 37:20

This one is episode is that so I need to talk big e all day long. All day long. I I don't even want I'm not even gonna look at this shit no more.

SPEAKER_00 37:36

So that energy in his in his oracle does it. Yeah, it's different. It's different.

SPEAKER_01 37:42

It's different. It's different. So let me tell you, Biggie, Biggie grew up. Let me let me let me ask you something, right? Where you where you want to go with this? Other than I know you want to be successful, of course all of us want to be, but what you what you really of this here.

SPEAKER_04 38:07

In the end, I told my dog, I'm gonna just put me in a in a position to be a boss. At the end of the day, I mean, I know it's business, I know we do business and stuff like that, but just put me in a bit in a position to be a boss so I can be able to do the same thing and inspire the the youth. You feel what I'm saying? That's out there. That's that's seeing my grind, seeing my hustle, letting them know like when I see them boys up on them Chevies up at Carroll Mont, I say, I boy, ooh, that's gonna be me. You feel what I'm saying? I want to get them that same inspiration. You feel what I'm saying? And that's the reason why they put the billboard up. They inspire.

SPEAKER_01 38:53

It's the reason why I do these shows to inspire. So, so e not to cut, so did so writing this book, did it change your outlook on on your career, on things, anything?

SPEAKER_04 39:07

It changed everything because I'm always looking for a different way to reinvent myself. Because I put out so much to the point I get tired of the the other stuff. It might be new to y'all, but it's old to me. So I'm consistently trying to work and work and work, just put out music, put our gut music, put our gut product so that way in the future, you feel what I'm saying, it can it can inspire. You feel what I'm saying? And we can keep going. And we can keep, we can just keep rolling. That's my goal.

SPEAKER_00 39:43

That's real. Keep building. That's it, Joey. Keep building.

SPEAKER_01 39:49

SPEAKER_04 39:58

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

You you want to elaborate on it, talk about it?

SPEAKER_04 40:03

I will. So when you say it's a specific life lesson on that book, everything in that book I put in there is real. From every story, every chapter. I went through some stuff. You feel what I'm saying? But uh end of the day, I want you to know that if you end up, if you ask him for something, when I say him, I'm talking about that big man, the book. You hear me? You ask him, he gonna deliver. No matter what. He gonna deliver. And he gonna make it happen for you. And that's just real, man.

SPEAKER_00 41:43

A what?

SPEAKER_01 41:44

An author. What made you become an author, man? What the hell you was thinking about where you want to become an author?

SPEAKER_04 41:52

Man, because I know certain people don't read. Oh, shit. So I want to put it in the book. Damn, that nigga just made me scratch my head. I just ran into one of my dogs. I ran into one of the one the guys from 2 a.m. Entertainment, right? Right, yeah. Who first gave me a shot? His nephew, Charlie P, right? So he like, he telling this, he had he telling his homeboy at the open mic, like, man, that's Big E. Man, my uncle started him. Oh shit. And he was with him. Oh shit. I ain't had to say nothing. They talking for me. You feel what I'm saying?

unknown 42:29

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:31

That right there.

SPEAKER_01 42:32

What what what part of your story were you was it difficult for you to talk about that you really didn't want to talk about, but you talked about it anyway? A lot.

SPEAKER_04 42:43

But I had to connect with the I had kind of poke. I had to I'm trying to poke him as you poke him like the Pillsbury Doughboys. I'm trying to poke them. Man, I really had to, I really had to analyze what I'm what I was gonna say, even when I talked to the publishers. What I was gonna say, how I was gonna say, how I was gonna put it. You feel what I'm saying? Without shitting on motherfuckers, you know what I mean? Without exposing myself or self-snitching, you know what I mean, on certain things. And because people looking, they like, I'm going there to go see what it is. Nah. They looking for something. And when they get in there, they see a whole nother story. That's just like the G, the big G. When they get in there, they think it's something else until they get inside there. When they get in the organization, then that's when they figure out who he is. And guys. What made some of the things kind of hard for me to talk about, especially the betrayal from my cousin. That shit really hurting me. You know what I mean? That hurting me big time. Well, I definitely gotta read it. When I get to the crib. I ain't realize it to a couple of years later. When I'm sitting in a 23-hour lockdown, one hour wreck time. Wow. Thinking about it. Like, damn, bro, this motherfucker set me up. But I had to learn how to forgive though. Forgive. Forgive, but don't forget. Let go. Don't forget. Don't forget though. But tell a story so that way somebody else don't fall through the floor. Fall for that banana tailpipe. It's a lot of stuff that was difficult for me to talk about. And even the second, when I put out the next series, gonna be a lot of things that don't be difficult for me to talk about, but I'm gonna connect with my fans, I'm gonna connect with the people. So they'll see that it's real. I talk about what I what I talk about is real.

SPEAKER_01 44:54

What what what but okay when you saying that right there, what makes your story different than other street stories or the other stories?

SPEAKER_04 45:06

Well, some dudes ain't really lived this life, ain't never been through what we all went through. You feel what I'm saying? Some of them been on the streets, they really been, you feel what I'm saying, just regular people on the streets. You feel what I'm saying? So they don't know the struggle that you had to go through when that when that door closed. Boom. And then you gotta be, you gotta be that person who you say you was on that side. You feel what I'm saying? You gotta go through those things that people don't know what you had to go through, loneliness, betrayal, distance from your family, trying to survive just to get out. You know what I mean? That's what made me different from all of that. You feel what I'm saying? So, and then I ain't scared either. Because I done been round, been around where it's a lot of chaos, but I know how to focus and lock in. You feel what I'm saying? And keep going. They ain't none of my business, keep moving.

SPEAKER_01 46:13

SPEAKER_04 47:36

You don't want nobody else to tell your story a different way than how you will want to be put. And then there's certain things you want to try to protect. People you're gonna try to protect. So that way they don't get hurt in the in the long run. Like, like I said, I'm gonna bump them a dog. I could have easily like said some, but I didn't. But I protect them boys and I learned something from them. Only thing I said that I would never put myself in a position ever again, in that position ever again, and that's the reason why I'm here today.
