[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's going on, y'? All? Corpus Christi Originals back at it again. [00:00:02] Speaker B: Yes, yes, we are located at Ink. [00:00:05] Speaker A: What's the name of your spot, bro? 4701, suite 202. Is it Ink? Ink Plug. Ink Plug. Yes, sir. Check them out. Thanks for letting us use your spot, bro. Appreciate you. We got let's words. [00:00:16] Speaker B: Let's words in the building, man. [00:00:18] Speaker A: Yeah, from all the way from episode 22. [00:00:20] Speaker B: Yes, yes. [00:00:21] Speaker A: Zoom meeting. Call if y' all remember. Go check it out if you haven't seen it, please. But we're here to see where you're at now. [00:00:27] Speaker B: Yes. [00:00:27] Speaker A: As opposed to then. So you reached out. It took me a minute. Sorry to get back to you. [00:00:32] Speaker B: Totally fine. [00:00:33] Speaker A: So I was just like. I was setting up interviews yesterday. I saw you just popped up. I was like, yeah, you know what? Let's do it now. [00:00:39] Speaker B: Yes. [00:00:39] Speaker A: So. So come on. On. So what's going on? How you doing? [00:00:41] Speaker B: Yes, I'm doing wonderful. How you doing? [00:00:43] Speaker A: How you doing? It's a good day, bro. [00:00:45] Speaker B: Good boy. Wonderful day. So basically, I just really wanted to share with the culture. First of all, we're gonna start it off like this. Shout out to the Ink Plug. You know what I'm saying? For real? [00:00:55] Speaker A: For real. [00:00:55] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? Without him, there's no me. Without me, there's no him. So let's just get that straight when it comes to the culture, man, y love everything that y' all doing. What we doing for y'. All. We have a lot of beautiful things coming. But I want to start this off by saying that from the transitioning period from episode 22, like my man just said, we are going to get able and ready to drop. Look, mom, it's raining me. D Green Films I'm pretty sure everyone knows in the region of where we at, but if you don't know, y' all, look that up right now. D Green Films we have a lot of things in work when it comes to the videos and the merch that's coming for look mom is Raining. So basically, the concept of the album that that came with that is that, you know, a lot of people don't notice. But so a couple of years, man, I got into a horrible accident, Fell four stories, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. From a building, you know what I'm saying? And broke my back, my wrists, my feet. Horrible experience, you know? And it put me in a situation where I didn't create any music for two years, you know, And a lot of people counting me out to the point where they thought it was just over for me, you know, for my career, for what we had going on, you know? And I could have took this in any direction that I wanted to from the recovery state of where I was going, obviously. Right. But I told myself that if I. If I gave enough passion to the music and if I gave myself enough time to recover, that I would come back. I will come back for what was mine. I will come back for what I lost, and I will come back for you. And when I say you, I mean Corpus Christi. You understand me? So not only that have I done that, but I've created a sense of clarity of the new album that we're going with. So. So the reason why it's called Look Mom, It's Raining, because it first started off as, you know, I felt that my trials and error that was going on with me was just raining so much that, you know, I just felt like I was slipping and I falling and I couldn't get up, you know? But now, right now, where I sit on this couch, you know what I'm saying, on this day, I could honestly say that I always meant that the blessings was raining upon me. And I want my mother to see what I've become. And when I say my mother, I mean Corpus Christi, the one that's birthed Last Words, the one that gave me this pedestal of who I am and what I've become and what me and my brother D. Green have, how far we have took in it and what we have given and gave back to this culture. I'm in a humble state to the point where not only if I'm in my prime when it comes to making music, but this is the beginning of the Last Words era that's going to reign forever. And I really feel that not only the people that had been holding me down and really helping me out to find myself, to find where I was at, to find my direction of where I was going. Not only did I did find myself, but I'm here to tell you thank you. Thank you for having patience with me, thank you for always listening, and thank you for your loyalty. So it's my turn to show y' all why y' all patience will be paid off tenfold. [00:04:14] Speaker A: Nice. What's the hard truth about your life that you've finally been brave enough to put in a verse? [00:04:19] Speaker B: No, definitely. Definitely. I mean, at first, it started off with just trying to show that I was still the best, you know, but now it's a sense of a true testimony upon What I am and what I'm not anymore. So not only that, this is a beautiful roller coaster that we are preparing ourselves for. Right. But right now, I feel like I'm waiting in the line for it. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Oh, wow. You know, definitely, man. It's. Yeah, I can. I can get that feeling, like two years away from music and. Dude, you're obviously a poet, man. Like you. [00:04:57] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you so much. [00:04:59] Speaker A: Your words are very well placed. [00:05:00] Speaker B: Yes, yes. Thank you. [00:05:02] Speaker A: So that's cool, man. To do that. So obviously you teamed up with D. Green. How did that relationship come about? Like, when did you decide? Or how did you decide? You know what? We gotta get D. Green on the project to make it happen. You know what I mean? For you? [00:05:18] Speaker B: Yes. Yes. So the relationship that I have with D. Green is shout out to D. Green, too. Shout out to my brother. But he's my brother behind closed doors. Me and D. Green started this off. I've always been the one that has anchored and pedestal my brother to become a filmer, to become the person that he had the patience to be. I just been humble enough to not just say it, you know, because it really, truly does. [00:05:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. You have that love for a. You have that love for a. For a man. Like a. Like a man, right? You know, no home or whatever you want to call it. [00:05:59] Speaker B: Facts, facts. [00:06:00] Speaker A: Like, I got brothers, dude. And there's. There's no other type of relationship that you could have with somebody that's another. That's a male. [00:06:06] Speaker B: I understand. [00:06:07] Speaker A: Like your brother. You know what I mean? It. Like, even. Even if you're friends with a female or whatever. Whatever the case might be, but that. With an actual man like the. The boys, you know, having that is. Is something that cannot re. Be replaced, bro. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Definitely. Nothing's bigger than a program. [00:06:22] Speaker A: Yeah. So that's. That's definitely awesome, man. So. So last album we were talking about was Summer's ending. [00:06:28] Speaker B: Summer's ending. That was the last album that we were talking about. A couple of alb after that, and we could go down a real quick. Summer's Ending Winners coming Free Rap, Volume two. Those are the albums that came after Summer's ending, which is on all digital streaming platforms. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:06:46] Speaker B: As I. As I say, under led's words, that's Ledsward, if y', all, you know, don't. Don't know that. [00:06:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:53] Speaker B: But for the most part, though, this is my 10th album. Yes. This is my 10th studio independent holy Smokes album that came off of my blood, sweat and 10. [00:07:05] Speaker A: Wait, wait, wait. How could. [00:07:06] Speaker B: So how. [00:07:06] Speaker A: What? What? 10th album? Wow. [00:07:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:11] Speaker A: Yeah. So how come you didn't stop after number 2 or number 3 or number 5? [00:07:15] Speaker B: Cuz I'm the best O. Cuz I'm the best to ever do it. You know, there's nobody like me. There's nobody that'll ever be like me, you know? And this is not me being, like, egotistic, you know, this is me saying that there only could reign one. One true tyrant, one true purpose that leads everyone out. [00:07:38] Speaker A: Wow. [00:07:39] Speaker B: It shows everybody the way. And it's me. It's always been me and it always will be me. I'm just here to claim it. I'm just here to say it and to let everybody understand that I'm not going to be the humble person anymore that just watches everything, you know, tenfold in front of my eyes. Oh. So I will be the one to direct everyone. I will give everyone purpose, and I will give everyone the reason of knowing that why. The reason why they stay so patient is because of what I'm about to give them. [00:08:07] Speaker A: Hey, that's what's up, man. Man, do you ever. I'm thinking music wise or lyric wise or even song wise. 10 albums seems like that's a lot of songs. [00:08:15] Speaker B: It is. [00:08:16] Speaker A: Do you ever feel like you're gonna run out? Did you ever come to that point, like, dang, I might run out? [00:08:20] Speaker B: Oh, yes. [00:08:20] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [00:08:21] Speaker B: How do you. [00:08:22] Speaker A: How do you channel that creativity? [00:08:23] Speaker B: Horrible feelings. Horrible feelings. You know? You know, whenever you're playing it at the tear that I do, you know, it's like you're living in the shadow, you know, being around Dean Green, it's like, you know, I'm trained and manipulated to feel that I'm the best. You know, I can never be around anyone. You know, I. I tell. Dorian tells me this all the time. I'm. I'm everyone's favorite rapper. Favorite rapper. [00:08:45] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:08:45] Speaker B: You know, I'm on the phone with probably the people that y' all listen to all day, every day, and they're calling, you know, me or my brother saying, you know, hey, you know. You know, is there any new music that you got? We can't wait for the album. [00:08:56] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:08:57] Speaker B: But that's the thing that I'm trying to get to is that, you know, I don't want to be hidden or gatekeep no more. You know, it's time for the world to experience less words, and it's time for me to stand up for. [00:09:08] Speaker A: For. [00:09:08] Speaker B: For what I truly am. And And. And to claim my rightful position of what I earned all these years. And that's why I'm doing everything. That's why I'm. I'm. I'm using the initiative and my power and my. And my reach to get there. [00:09:22] Speaker A: Yeah. You're gonna be on the Ride and High podcast, too, if you guys want to listen to local. Check them out. Yeah, they're also. Their interview would be different. Is mine different from mine? And that's the good thing about podcast culture. Yes. [00:09:32] Speaker B: Everybody's interview is different, and it's all for the culture. [00:09:35] Speaker A: Everyone shout out. [00:09:36] Speaker B: Yes. [00:09:36] Speaker A: Thank you, Corpus. For sure, man. Everything. Speaking of Corpus, bro, how has. How much is Corpus Christi's actual grid? And culture has, like, shaped you or helped you in a way, you know? [00:09:49] Speaker B: So I would. I would truly say this. A lot of people don't know this about me, but I'm gonna share with. On this podcast right now. First time, I was born, not born, but I was raised in Cal Allen, you know, right on the outskirts. Corpus, you know, everybody knows, but in this place called Alanis Gardens. And when. So I was shunned upon all culture of Corpus. [00:10:12] Speaker A: Wow. [00:10:13] Speaker B: Until I was, like, maybe a teenage. Maybe whenever. Eighth grade, that's whenever I moved right here to south park on ABC Streets, and I was introduced to everything that y' all know right now. Wow. You know, so when I say that I got a dosage of everything, you know, my first introduction to music wasn't what y' all think it is, you know, it was alternative rock. [00:10:31] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:10:31] Speaker B: You know, it was. It was. It was R and B. I was listening to Boxcar Racer. I was listening to Slipknot. I was listening, you know, Evanescence and stuff. [00:10:40] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:10:41] Speaker B: You know, whenever. When everybody think that, when everybody would listen to Zero and screw tapes and stuff like that, that's what I was doing. Wow. [00:10:49] Speaker A: That's amazing, bro. [00:10:50] Speaker B: That's what I learned. To rap over beats like that. [00:10:53] Speaker A: Yes. [00:10:54] Speaker B: That's why I feel like I became so lyrical. [00:10:56] Speaker A: I love that about our culture, man, that I. I could be listening to metal one day, next day it'll be some type of boom bap or whatever. You know what I mean? That's just. That's. That's me. But we can morph, like, from metal to. To rap. You know what I mean? [00:11:10] Speaker B: Yes. Yes. [00:11:11] Speaker A: Those cultures. Mix those cultures. I love that about our. About Corpus, man. [00:11:14] Speaker B: It's a beautiful thing. Shout out to all the Rob bands in Corpus. Yeah. I mean, I really honestly feel that Cor has the best Alternative rock sound, when it comes to creating our own culture, I mean, it's a beautiful thing. Stand up, everybody. Yes, the world is yours, man. [00:11:27] Speaker A: Yes, sir. Yes, sir, man. I had a question, man. I was recently had another artist on here. He. We got into the subject of, like, being like a. Sounding like a Texas rapper as opposed to sounding like maybe east coast, whatever type of rapper. Do you. [00:11:42] Speaker B: What. [00:11:42] Speaker A: What's your. What are your thoughts on that? And do you feel like people try to put you in a certain category as far as that goes? I do. [00:11:50] Speaker B: You know, whenever I talk to people, I always hear them say that, you know, I sound like I'm not from here. You know, I sound like I'm not from Texas court. Definitely Corpus. I sound like I'm from up north. [00:12:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Maybe it's just because, you know, it's from my inspiration of the culture that I love, but you know what? I felt like I related to and, you know, some of the. Some of my mentors that, you know, when it comes to music or, you know, up north rappers, you know, Nas and things like that, you know what I'm saying? But for. Nevertheless, you know, I. I don't think anyone sounds like me. You know, I honestly feel that if it came down to it, I probably sound like an east coast rapper, but I feel like nobody sounds like me because not only do I. I rap, but I sing, I compose, I ghostwrite, I play the piano. You know what I'm saying? I mentorship myself. Yeah. You know, and I teach myself. I'm a student of the game, so I'm not even. I don't even know what I'm capable of. [00:12:49] Speaker A: How long. How long did it take for you to. To find that. To find your. Your, I guess, your voice? I want to call it a voice. I don't know what you call it, but how long did it take? Because obviously, when we started, we emulate a lot of what we hear. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Yes, yes, right. [00:13:01] Speaker A: That's true. So how. How long did it take you to find Led? Les Words, you know, Say your name, bro. [00:13:07] Speaker B: Yes, Words. [00:13:08] Speaker A: Let's. Words. [00:13:09] Speaker B: Yes. [00:13:09] Speaker A: How long did it take you to find Led's Words? That particular. [00:13:14] Speaker B: Okay, so everybody that knows me in the city knows that I had a daughter that died, right. Rip. Alicia, you know, but everybody knows that. So before she passed away and everybody. I was known in the city of being, you know, the freestyle king, you know, that Letty Lead, you know, things like that, you know, when it was fun, you know, but whenever she passed away and I created the syndicate which is known of Lord Gang, you know what I'm saying? Which is living our real dreams of what y' all know. D. Green Films, the Dask 1, LEDswords, Murph Cam. You know, these cultural shifting people, you know, these people belong to. You know what I just said? But once I created that, you know, and I created less words. [00:14:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I was thinking that, too. Like some type of. Like, in order for you to have your person like yourself in the music, you got to put yourself in the music. [00:14:14] Speaker B: No, definitely, you can't. [00:14:16] Speaker A: Like, you can. You can, like Cookie cut it right? But there's no substance to it. [00:14:22] Speaker B: It's no uniqueness. [00:14:24] Speaker A: There you go. [00:14:24] Speaker B: You know, I feel like everything has to be punctual. I always tell my son, you know, you got to say what you mean and mean what you say. You know, no vibration is closer than the truth. [00:14:35] Speaker A: Wow. Amazing. [00:14:36] Speaker B: So, you know, even though that it's an uncomfortable feeling, I love it here. I love it when it's uncomfortable. I love when people think that it's a game. I love when people think that they compare. [00:14:45] Speaker A: Oh. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Because it just gives me the space to show that they don't. You know, it gives me the confidence to show that I could really grasp them, because the moment that I show what I can do, they're mine forever. [00:14:55] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. I'm thinking about, like, your. The people that you associate yourself with. I know for sure. When did you realize, like, okay, maybe I need. Maybe I don't need to have this person around or be. Or I don't need to be around this person. You know what I'm saying? Like, when did you, like, start understanding that that was important for your career [00:15:14] Speaker B: shoe? When I moved to Houston 10 years ago. Whenever. We're not gonna go into traumatic experiences of Lead's words, because we could save that for another podcast. I don't even want this to get, like, depressing. [00:15:29] Speaker A: Hey, bro. [00:15:29] Speaker B: I go, like, right away. People don't. Like. I was about to say something real crazy, but you're about to be like, you know what? Cut the goddamn podcast. This is crazy. But, like, let's talk about the weather, bro. Yeah, yeah. So we're not going to. I'm not going to go in detail upon why, you know, but everybody that knows me knows that the pain is deep. You know what I'm saying? And it's very real with me. [00:15:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:15:50] Speaker B: But when I moved to Houston 10 years ago and I was put in, something happened to me, and I was put in a position where, you know, I was, like. I was. I was lost. And I had people around me where I felt that, you know, I was waiting for them to remind me who I was. And it never came. You know, it just never came. Some people, you know, it's not their fault. Most, you know why you're not here. You know why. But for the most part, you know, thank you. You know, thank you for everything. Because the confidence I have and what I'm about to do to the culture and what I become, I wouldn't have it any other way. [00:16:29] Speaker A: Yes, sir. So what do you want people to. Whenever they. Whenever they play your. Your music, your upcoming project. I'm sorry, what's the name of it? [00:16:36] Speaker B: Look, mom is Raining. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Look, mom, it's Raining. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Look, mom, it's Raining is the new name of the album, and it will be on all digital streaming platforms, by the way. And we do have some merch 3D models for the fans, and we got some limited edition things coming. Be on lookout for the new videos that's coming. Repost and share, please. But look, mom is Raining. [00:16:54] Speaker A: Yes, sir. Engagement, social media. That's how we get the word out, y'. [00:16:58] Speaker B: All. [00:16:58] Speaker A: Clip this up, send it, share it, whatever you need to do. That's how we get our local artists out there, bro. The more engagement, the more comments, more shares, more reposts, the better, bro. [00:17:10] Speaker B: And we are greatly appreciated because we see everything. Don't ever think we don't see it. Just because we don't act like we don't doesn't mean that we don't. We see everything, and everything that doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you so much for the love. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Yes. [00:17:21] Speaker B: That's to the culture. [00:17:22] Speaker A: Yes, to the culture, man. For sure. I really. Honestly, man, let me get my soap box real quick. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Okay. [00:17:27] Speaker A: I really didn't realize how much people actually like Corpus and want to put on for Corpus until I started this podcast. Till I started this brand, Corpus Christi Originals. Okay. Because beforehand it was just me, like, not even caring about what's going on around me or whatever. And then when I got immersed in the people that came in the podcast, like, oh, shoot, they actually care about the city. Yes. And, you know, some of the circles that I was around when I was younger, it's like, ah, forget Corpus. We need to leave Corpus. Whatever, whatever. Which is a bad attitude to have now that I look back. [00:18:01] Speaker B: Very, very true, and. Cause I had it. [00:18:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:04] Speaker B: See, you know, I'm okay. I'm not. I'm glad I'm the only one. No, you're not. You're not. You're not. And I'm glad we're having this conversation. I'm so glad we're having this conversation. I did fall victim to the purpose. To one of the people that was trying to run away from the city. [00:18:16] Speaker A: Oh. [00:18:16] Speaker B: That was trying to blame the city of why I didn't have this. You know, they're not supporting me, and you know why they're not doing me like this. They support the bigger people. But the one thing I say. And I said this on Your podcast, episode 22. [00:18:30] Speaker A: Check it out. Okay. [00:18:31] Speaker B: But I said this, and I'll say it again. One thing about Corpus is that once you get the love here, it's yours forever. [00:18:42] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:18:43] Speaker B: Forever. We're the only city that does that. That's why it's so hard to get it. Just think about it. Think about all these big artists that still. These artists that were big, but they're not no more. But they come down to get 50, $60,000 for a show they're not even on the radio. Haven't been there for 15 years. You know what I'm saying? [00:19:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:01] Speaker B: Right now, little flick come over here. [00:19:03] Speaker A: He. [00:19:03] Speaker B: He. He could probably sell out a show if you want. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Wow. Amazing. [00:19:06] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? [00:19:07] Speaker A: Wow. [00:19:07] Speaker B: I could see his ass. Probably buying a goddamn burger and goddamn trouble. You understand me? You know what I'm saying? But you understand how this go down. [00:19:14] Speaker A: Oh, my God. That makes a lot of sense. [00:19:16] Speaker B: It makes the only sense. And that's why I always said, don't ever, ever put a time stamp on your time. When it's your time, it will happen. Just understand when it does, it's forever. [00:19:26] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:19:27] Speaker B: And I'm here for it. That's, like, here for it. [00:19:29] Speaker A: That's way more than just views, bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? [00:19:33] Speaker B: Like, it's called longevity. [00:19:34] Speaker A: Oh. [00:19:34] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? It's called legacy. You know, I want to know when I'm dead and gone and, you know, I'm trying to make sure when I'm dead and going that I don't want no mural. I want them to build a statue of me. I'm trying to be standing by Selena, put my arm around her. [00:19:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:47] Speaker B: You understand me? You feel me? Because that's where I'm going. That's where I'm headed, and that's where I will be. [00:19:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So obviously, there's people that push back. You get pushback from people that may say, like, I. You said that on the last Record I did. [00:20:00] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? [00:20:01] Speaker A: Like, there will be that. So what, I guess, what's the mindset? My question to people always on this podcast is, why are you the way you are? Like, how do you do this? Why do you continue? Like, I did say it last one. I'm saying it this one too. And what. You know what I mean? Like, how do you have that type of mentality? Do you know what I'm. Do you know what I'm trying to ask? [00:20:26] Speaker B: I do, I do, I do. I honestly just feel like, because I'm the best, you know, And. And I'm gonna keep saying it because I could prove it and I'll show it, you know, who would you be [00:20:34] Speaker A: if you weren't doing what you're doing now? [00:20:37] Speaker B: Dead. [00:20:38] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:20:39] Speaker B: There's not. There's nothing after this. There's nothing. There's nothing after this. And what was before this was a baby? [00:20:45] Speaker A: It's funny because, like, you, you, we find creativity and like, we cannot not do it. [00:20:50] Speaker B: No. Yeah, this is. This is my life, you know, and just to think that, like, I tell people this all the time. And this is for all the artists that think they're too cool to work a 9 to 5. I'm gonna say something to y', all, and I really want y' all to look at me and pay attention when I say this. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Come on, [00:21:05] Speaker B: don't get it misconstrued that, oh, my gosh, I'm too cool to have a job or I wouldn't, you know, take care of myself. You know, am I. I call it my real life. Right. And I was a whole chef, really. I worked there. I. I opened up five star restaurants, worked on cruise ships for 16 years. Wow. You know what I'm saying? I had a whole career before my accident, you know what I'm saying? Nobody ever knew. Nobody would never know until right now on your podcast. Oh, you know what I'm saying? [00:21:34] Speaker A: Yes. [00:21:34] Speaker B: I have children. I have people that depend on me now. I'm a natural hustler. And, you know, I'm getting money was never the problem. But it's about showing. Whenever people look up to you, you have to show them how to take care of themselves. You can't just show them that you could take care of yourself. You know, there's levels to this, and I've always played it at the highest level. So I want people to understand. Don't you ever rob yourself from your chance to actually putting yourself in position to really give yourself a fair chance out Here. Because if you're waiting for someone to help you, put something in your hand, show love or whatever the situation, the reason why you're not going up is the reason why you're going to stay down. [00:22:19] Speaker A: No. [00:22:19] Speaker B: And I say that to myself as I reflected to y', all, you know, up. [00:22:24] Speaker A: We got you, bro. Yeah, for sure. That's pretty cool. [00:22:26] Speaker B: Yeah, it's definitely. [00:22:27] Speaker A: You take you. If you choose. Like, you. You were working a job, right? [00:22:31] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Plenty of. [00:22:32] Speaker A: That's dope. That's like humble, bro. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Yeah, plenty of them. [00:22:35] Speaker A: It's like, same here, bro. Like, I've. I've got add, adhd, bro. Like, jobs, like, quick, bro. [00:22:44] Speaker B: I never kept them, obviously. [00:22:46] Speaker A: Well, see. Well, see, what I do is I advocate for people that have ADHD, ADHD, or whatever. Get a skill that is going to be marketable. Like, I'm a truck driver. [00:22:54] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:55] Speaker A: Okay. If I lose my job here, boom, there's 10 other truck driving jobs that I can go. [00:22:59] Speaker B: Very true. [00:22:59] Speaker A: You see what I'm saying? So I advocate, like, look, if you're like this, get a skill that is in demand, bro. [00:23:04] Speaker B: Yes. That way you can. [00:23:05] Speaker A: That way you can have money. [00:23:06] Speaker B: I do. I do. I. And listen to my man's when he said that. Get a skill that's in demand. And I honestly feel that, you know, it's so many artists out here, even the young bulls, you know what I'm saying, they think they too cool to go punch that clock or do anything to go get some money. Now. They. It's totally fine for you to risk your life and risk your freedom out here to go and trap your money and go get some studio time. But, hey, give your woman a break, man. Stop making her pay all them damn bills. Stop making her pay all her car insurance and all them goddamn lights and putting that food in that refrigerator. Stop eating them baby snacks and get your ass off that couch and get a job, man. [00:23:42] Speaker A: That's real. [00:23:42] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? The dream ain't waiting for nobody. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. For real, man. Grow up. For real. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Grow up for real, man. [00:23:49] Speaker A: Get a job. [00:23:50] Speaker B: And especially in the field that I'm in, you know, I play. Like, I say, we at the highest tier with this. When me and D. Green. So I see this all day, every day, man. [00:23:57] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:23:57] Speaker B: I see this all day. And you male groupies need to stop it. You feel me? Pushing women out the way for a picture. You're making it. You know what I'm saying? Your. Your duty to. To go out of your Way to please another man for likes, you know, the. It's unnecessary. [00:24:11] Speaker A: Wow. [00:24:12] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying, man? [00:24:14] Speaker A: Dude, let's. You're definitely on another level, bro. [00:24:16] Speaker B: No, factual. And thank you so much for noticing. [00:24:18] Speaker A: On another level, dog. [00:24:19] Speaker B: I appreciate that. Thank you so much. [00:24:21] Speaker A: Has, has there ever been anybody that's on a. And you're like, oh, shoot, man, this dude's got some, some, some skill I need to learn from. You know what I mean? [00:24:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. You know, it's one artist that I could honestly say, I wouldn't say skillfully because, you know, I'm in my own tier and obviously if I told y' all this, y' all be like, oh, that was full of shit. But, you know, it's one artist that I could say mentally that I am intrigued and I really listen to and I don't talk that much whenever I'm around them because I like their vocabulary and I like their structure upon what they became before me and D. Green and when we found them. And that is Virgil. That is Mexican ot. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:25:07] Speaker B: Yes, I, I, I do like who he has become as an artist because whenever me and D. Green found him and whenever we, you know, I'm saying, started working with him, you know, obviously he wasn't who he is right now. And the transitioning period of who he became is, you know, who I earned to, you know, try to remain to be once the money comes in, the fame. [00:25:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:31] Speaker B: So, yes, you know, I would say him. Shout out to Mexican ot. [00:25:34] Speaker A: Shout out, bro. Yeah, for sure. That brings up a topic as far as, like, money financial wise and stuff like that. How do you look at the future that in that perspective of your life, you know what I mean? Like, because if we people have a little bit of money, right? [00:25:51] Speaker B: Yes. [00:25:52] Speaker A: Once. And you hear stories like, once they get a lot of money, you know, they, they make wrong decisions, bad decisions or whatever. Very true. You know what I'm saying? Like, how do you, you know, I mean, do you think about that stuff when you're. [00:26:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I do. You know, this, this year I have been, you know, blessed enough where, you [00:26:09] Speaker A: know, [00:26:12] Speaker B: I've seen enough to change my life. Right. And it was my first introduction of, you know, some real, some real, real money, you know, and enough to see how people actually do change if, whenever it does happen. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Oh. [00:26:29] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? And I'm not gonna lie, it's an ugly feeling and it truly does scare me because, you know, I don't give a. About money. You know what I'M saying. And I don't give a shit about, you know, what. Only thing I care about is security, knowing that I could do what I want and my family can, and. And my hand is never out, you know, so if that is what the money brings me, then I'm a chase that. But, you know, as I see other people, how they act, the things that they do, and how they'll just slime over the people that they love and just, you know, how they act in public, you know what I'm saying, and how they conduct themselves, It's a very scary thing. [00:27:09] Speaker A: Wow. [00:27:10] Speaker B: You know, and. And. But I know I started to learn that. I always thought that people change, you know, when they get money. [00:27:18] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:27:18] Speaker B: But it's never that. It's the people around you change when you get the money. [00:27:24] Speaker A: Wow. [00:27:25] Speaker B: Yes. That's exactly what happens. [00:27:27] Speaker A: Dang. How do you know who's who? [00:27:28] Speaker B: You never do. [00:27:30] Speaker A: Wow. [00:27:30] Speaker B: That's why you pick who you want to and you just exploit them till you're done. Cause they're gonna do it to you. [00:27:35] Speaker A: Ooh, crazy. [00:27:36] Speaker B: Might as well have fun. [00:27:38] Speaker A: No, I'm serious. Wow. [00:27:39] Speaker B: I'm so serious. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Shoot. I was thinking about something there. I'm thinking about the. The lifestyle that artists have and their music, what the music says. Do you think there's a disconnect and how much, little or not, do you think there is a disconnect between the lifestyle that they live and what they're actually talking about in their music? [00:28:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I do. I do feel like there's a lot of. A lot of artists that potentially could, you know, really give the culture a sense of saving their lives type of feeling, and they choose to destroy it. [00:28:19] Speaker A: Oh. [00:28:20] Speaker B: You know, they choose to pick the idle frame of being, their lowest vibration whenever they're. They're at their highest of their career. And that's something that I just never understood. [00:28:31] Speaker A: Wow. [00:28:31] Speaker B: You know, I've been trying to save lives at the. In my lowest moments. So for me to transition, to destroy it whenever I'm at my highest will be just a slap in my fucking [00:28:43] Speaker A: face, you know what I'm saying? [00:28:45] Speaker B: So I don't not. I do not understand why people choose to, you know, destroy, you know, their own culture that gives so much to them, you know what I'm saying? With me, I'm trying to condition, serenade, and reward the patience of y' all choosing me. You know, that's why I say there will never be nobody like me again. And I will show. I will lead my people to greatness. I will lead Corpus to greatness. You know what I'm saying? I put this on my skin and my back, and I promise y', all, through all the pain, you did not wait for no reason. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Yes, sir. [00:29:19] Speaker B: Look, mom is Rainer. [00:29:21] Speaker A: Yes, sir. Check them out on Spotify. [00:29:23] Speaker B: You guys, anything, anywhere, you Telemundo, you know, it's gonna be less words on there. You understand me? I appreciate everybody that held me down and shout out to Corpus Christi Podcast for real, though, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's. It's. It's really a beautiful thing to know that I'm wearing a place where if you are doing enough in this city that you don't have to scream it on top of your lungs. World recognized real, you know, And I appreciate the real always recognizing me. It's just the assurance that I need to know that I'm going in. In the right direction. And what I'm claiming is not a sense of entitlement and an egotistic thing. This is just me. This is my birthright. [00:30:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it seems like, like, I want to say proud. Like, proud, like you're proud of who you are. Like. And sure, you're not going to change, like, you're gonna. You're not gonna change it for anybody. You know, that's what it seemed. That's. At least that's you from my perspective. [00:30:26] Speaker B: No, no, your perspective is right. Your perspective is right. [00:30:29] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. That's. That's what's up, man. I'm thinking about. I talk about AI a lot of my podcasts, different people, and then obviously you get into AI music, and then you get into only so certain types of artists getting. Getting all the listens on Spotify, all this other stuff. What's your take on the creativity, the creative aspect? Okay. Being around with AI coming out, you can just generate a song, whatever, or any thoughts around that. That topic. [00:30:59] Speaker B: I mean, with the AI, I'm not gonna lie with the creative frame of it, of using it to the point where, like, you could generate pictures and think of different things like that. I love it. You know, it makes things so easy for a creative person like me, because now it just cuts off the middleman. And I could be up 4:00 in the morning. My ADHD mind frame. I don't have to wait to somebody to respond to a text or something. I get right there on Chad gbt. [00:31:20] Speaker A: Boom, boom, boom, boom. [00:31:21] Speaker B: Y' all see it, y' all know, you know, the culture. [00:31:23] Speaker A: Love it. Yeah. [00:31:24] Speaker B: But when it comes to creating what I'm trying to give to the culture, like my music, my pain, my passion. No, never. You know, I think that that is something that's going to ruin us as creators whenever it comes to us feeding into. Because there's two sides of this music making. There's the artist that do this for clout, you know, those are the hype bees. Those are the people that want a whole bunch of likes. The people that want that they look at other people's life and they just want their position. We. We see them all day, every day. [00:32:02] Speaker A: Yes. [00:32:03] Speaker B: And then there's the let's words. [00:32:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:05] Speaker B: There's the people that are, you know, going to set the standard of being the best and great. You know what I'm saying? And I would name a couple of people that have done this at the tears and I'm about to play it. You know, before Kendrick Lamar was Kendrick Lamar, he was just a, a, a nobody in Compton. You know, before Drake was Drake, he was just doing the goddamn Degrassi in Canada, you know what I'm saying? And for Nipsey, Hussle was who he was. He was just a crip walking on Slauson. Remember who I was and remember what I said when I become who I am, man. [00:32:39] Speaker A: Bro, that's awesome, man. Yes. It makes me think of like jazz, like how jazz is like a super artistic thing and it's only and only. It's like underground. I want to say. It's not pop, you know, and it's not like getting these millions of people eyes on it. It's only for the people, like the purists that understand music, enjoy music and stuff like that. It's almost seems like it's like that for different genres to say the genre that you're in. Poss, I'm thinking rap, hip hop. I'm not sure exactly what genre you're [00:33:12] Speaker B: in, but I called it Lossless. I think I'm in the lost genre. It's a new john. It's called. [00:33:17] Speaker A: Yeah, tell me about that. Tell me about that. [00:33:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it's called Lossless. So basically it's like the music that's like the fork music nowadays that we listen to, you know. So basically if I had to give like a couple of names that are like, like the, the excess, the xx Astincion type of vibe, the Juice World type of vibe. Whenever you know, it would be like that type of losses. But I don't do it such in a childish way where it sounds like I just go in the studio and take Percocets. And sip drinks. [00:33:44] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:33:45] Speaker B: You know, we're not. We're not doing that. You know, we're saving lives. When I go in that booth, wow. You know, I'm in a. I played at a tier where whenever you're about to cry, right. The feeling of whenever you're about to drop a tear and cry, but you don't. That's the feeling that I'm harnessing and I'm putting on wax. [00:34:03] Speaker A: Wow. So you want people. So what do you want people to feel like? What do you want them to. You know what I'm saying? [00:34:09] Speaker B: I want to save their lives. That's what I want to do. I want. Whenever people listen to my music, I want them to feel that I made my story their story. That's exact. And that's what. And that's. And that's. That's where I'm going to take it until I don't do this anymore. You know, I really want everyone to understand that not only that, I'm doing it for our city and I'm doing it for Corpus. That as they listen to. Look, Mom, It's Raining. It's all of our story. It's all of our experiences, you know, every. Everything I'm talking about. I promise you that y'. All. So everyone will have something that they. They can identify themselves with in this. In this album that they could feel in this album. So basically, it's our testimony. This is our album to the. To the world. [00:34:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:57] Speaker B: You know, so as you share it and you tell your friends and you tell people, don't say, oh, this is less worst music. You say, this is our music. You understand me? [00:35:06] Speaker A: Yes, sir. It reminds me of our humanity, bro. Like our. The community that we have, like, we're having right now, bro, and the people that are watching and can feel that community, sense of community, which is one of the things that I. That kind of is kind of the pillar of this podcast is conversation. Having conversation with another person. You know what I mean? That may not come from the same walk as you, you know what I mean? You can still talk to somebody that. That's maybe different from you. You know what I mean? [00:35:33] Speaker B: Like, yeah, yeah. [00:35:34] Speaker A: I grew up old school, Central City. I. I don't know nothing about Cal island, you know? Yeah, yeah. Or. Or Southeast south park, for that matter. I'm like, Lindell. I grew up Lindell, you know, I mean, near Ray High School, but just to be able to. To talk to somebody that's in our city that can have a different culture from us. Is possible, you know what I mean? Because we may think all them Southsiders or those Northsiders or those whoever, whatever, they're like this. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Yes, yes. [00:35:59] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? No, bro. [00:36:00] Speaker B: Like, dude, and I like how you said that. I mean, I caught you off. [00:36:04] Speaker A: It's all good. [00:36:04] Speaker B: But I like how you said that, because I've been seeing a lot of that being like that in the, in, in the culture of people saying, you know, everybody from the north, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, if we had to say I was from somewhere, I would say there. Right, Right. Because, you know, that's where my birthright is. That's where my family is. Right? So I would say that. But I'm. I'm here to say this. I am the barrier breaker of all of this. When less words since I've came back, there will be no north side, south side, east side, west side, none of that. You know what I'm saying? I am the Kanye west to the corpus when I come. I'm. I'm. I'm assembling the Avengers. If you are the best in the field that you do, you're going to show up at the Ink Plug right here. And, and we. And we're making music because Last Words is here and God is my witness, and everybody that was here, they will tell you that if you really doing what you say you doing, you in this shop right here and you working, that's how we know that you really who you are, who you say you are, because there's no barriers to creativity, you know what I'm saying? People that isolate themselves are not the best in their field, you know what I'm saying? If you're the best in your field, iron sharpers, iron. And I like to be around people like me. You the best. Wouldn't show me, you know what I'm saying? And if you're not, we. We will weave you out. [00:37:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:24] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? Welcome to the Lions, then. [00:37:25] Speaker A: Yes, sir. It's hard. It's hard, man. Because people, we're prideful. We're prideful to the point where, like, we don't want to hear no advice from anybody. [00:37:32] Speaker B: No facts. [00:37:33] Speaker A: And, dude, where are you gonna get your inspiration from? Like, how are you gonna. You can't. I mean, it's. It's impossible, I think if you're just doing. Going at it alone with. With no wisdom at all from anywhere. [00:37:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:45] Speaker A: It's like, bro, you're leading on your own understanding. You know what I mean, you're that biblical term, but, like, you're just think you're only in your own mind. I love that, bro. [00:37:53] Speaker B: Like, nah, for real. I was on the. [00:37:55] Speaker A: I was on the Riding High podcast last night. They were. Who was it? Creon Martin was interviewing me. Okay, so, like, stuff like that. [00:38:03] Speaker B: Shout out to the og Shout out, bro. Like. [00:38:05] Speaker A: And I'm learning from. From that experience how to be on the other side of the microphone, because I have always been the interviewer, never been interviewed. Okay. You see what I'm saying? So that's just. That's the learning aspect for me. Like, I. I can. I. If I can put myself in that situation to learn something new about my craft, why not, bro? [00:38:23] Speaker B: Not for real. [00:38:24] Speaker A: Why not? [00:38:25] Speaker B: You know, student of the game, Right, Exactly. Student of the game. And one thing I want to say about that, you know, Iron Sharper Iron, you know, is that because I feel like I haven't brought his name up, and Lord knows that he is my twin, and I'm so sorry for this, but shout out to mugging E. This is who I Sharpen Iron with, you know, E Mugging. I love him so much, man. I love Bro so much because he played a big factor of waking up the monster, you know, inside of me. Because, you know, when I fell four stories and I broke myself, you know, my confidence was like, oh, you know. [00:38:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:55] Speaker B: Horrible. You know what I'm saying? Being treated differently. Just ugly, you know? And when I. When I nurse myself back, Eve was the first and probably the only person that really came around me and just reminded me who I was, set me down, inspired me, put his pride aside, told me that he was he. That I would, you know, that he always looked up to me, that he always listened to my music, that when he was young, that he. That he was who I, I, he was listening to. Not only did that, you know, wake me up, but it showed me that, you know, the culture needs me, the culture loves me. You know what I'm saying? And shout out to my gang, E, man, for real, man. I can't. You know, I really love dude, man. You know, he really looked out for me when it comes to, you know, just being there as a human being. And I can't repay you enough, man. [00:39:44] Speaker A: Yeah, shout out, bro. Appreciate you, man. That brings up a topic where the culture needs you. I really like that, bro. Facts. Because we can think that, oh, I'm just gonna be another. Like, I'll just end up being like this or whatever. The thoughts may be broken. Like, no, get out of your. Get out of your show and go do that creative thing that you want to do, whether it's podcasting, you know, music, whatever, dog. Just because the culture needs that. Put it on the cat, you know, Put it on film, bro. Put post it. Because people could see us and be like, oh, shoot. They're kind of like us. I want to do that, too. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're influencers, you know? Understatement. You know. [00:40:23] Speaker B: Entertainers. [00:40:24] Speaker A: Yeah, entertainers. We're part of the culture, dude, here in Corpus. And it's not just one. Like, you were. Like, we were talking about the different sides. It's not just that side. [00:40:33] Speaker B: No sides. There's no sides. [00:40:35] Speaker A: There's no sides, bro. Like, everybody is. We are the culture facts here in Corpus, and we need to, like, you. Like you say, stand up, bro. Yeah, we got to stand up. [00:40:45] Speaker B: And. And I feel that. And everybody that has been standing up, you know, I appreciate y'. All. Everybody that been setting the bar and. And showing that they played this game in a different field, you know, I appreciate y', all, too. You know, one thing that I can honestly say about corp is that is, you know, for the 10 years that I've been going in Houston, that it has grown a lot. You know, whenever. Excuse me. Whenever it comes to the talent in these young people, they're so driven of being famous and big, and they believe it, you know, you cannot tell them that they're not, you know. You know, how many times I'll go to the club, out for a drink, they'll see me and my brother, you know. You know, hey, we're trying to work, take a picture, and they'd be like, listen to my music. And I, you know, you know me, I'm. I'm probably trying to talk to a little thing or something. I'm just chilling. [00:41:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:41:30] Speaker B: And they. And. And they'll take it like, no, you know, remember my face. Remember me, you know, And I feel them, because it's like, pop your man. You know what I'm saying? Like, leave a stain in my brain, you know what I'm saying? You feel me? Don't ever put yourself in a position where somebody downplays your greatness. If they didn't react the way that they want to, cool. But you let them understand that, you know what I'm saying? That they will remember you, you know what I'm saying, Right now or later.
