[Assistant] If you fuck with it, you do. If you don't, you don't. Just like hit me back if you do. That's smart. Not many people hit me back, but one DJ called Sian Anderson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who works for BBC. She hit me back and she's like a massive DJ, you know what I'm saying? Got a sick spot on the radio, like she's really what everyone used to listen to to get like the cool music. She's like one of the tastemakers. She hit me back, she's like, yeah, this is hard. I'm going to play it. That's it. Literally like that. And I saw it, as soon as I saw the email, I was like, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank god, like that paid off. That's like my moment, that's my in. That little seed was all you needed, right? Literally, literally. That little idea I had actually paid off. And then she started all her shows, like she started the next like 30 shows with my song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then everyone, by then everyone was like, who's this kid? Like, who is this? And then she started shouting out my name. I didn't even have Twitter at the time. I made a Twitter. Uhm, I like started building up my social, I made all my socials neat so they're all the same name. I had really like a blueprint laid out to really do this. And then uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, so I gained a bit of traction. I'm like, right, so now that I've got this little buzz, I've got to capitalize. I did the freestyle thing, you know what I'm saying? Done some collabs, I've done Dave, da da da da da, started building up my brand, dropped a little tape, and then what I did is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dropped the acapellas for the tape so that all the DJs could remix it. Ah, there you go. Exactly. So from there, I'm like, okay, I got this on lock now. I know what I'm doing. And I kind of just kept trying to go upwards really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this, before that time, I didn't even have a manager at that point when I was doing all that. And then my manager kind of hit me and he's like, yo, bro, look, you're sick, you're sick, but like, I can help you, you know what I'm saying? I can help you just get everything in line. And I really needed that. I was a stubborn kid. I was like, I didn't want a manager. But he helped me, man. Thank God I got a manager brother. He does a sick job, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I got an agent and I started getting bookings. And obviously my mum told me, actually my mum said to me, she's like, look, like I know you, you're lazy. You want to like do the bare minimum and get the most out of it. I am lazy. This is true. But she said, look, go to shows, like kill them, like kill them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows what the fuck is up in the music world and shit like that. Exactly, she's cool man. But she was like, yea kill it. And then the promoter started telling other promoters, the kids told other kids and here we are. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's cool, man. Pretty cool, man. She's very nice. You're out here just doing things with the YouTube community? Yeah, man. I'm with everything. I'm with everything. Literally. Like, if I like it, I'd do it. Like, I wanna do Twitch. I wanna stream some stuff soon. Really? I'm with everything. All of it. That'd be crazy. Yeah, crazy. You fuck with KSI? I do fuck with KSI. Really? You know him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, personally. He's my guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when you know you're really doing it, because the people who are expected to watch your shit, that's a given. But it's when it's the people who aren't meant to watch your shit are fucking with your shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually when I go in the studio, it's like, I have certain topics I want to tackle if I'm making a project, or if I'm just going in there to just lay whatever I'm going to lay, then it's really how I feel. So if I'm angry, then my music is obviously going to sound a lot darker. Most of my stuff is dark, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of recent, I've tried to be a bit happier, you know what I'm saying? Cause my life's good, man. It's good to show that. And uhm, when I went in the studio to do Labyrinth Grove, for example, I was like, yeah, they make music that makes everyone happy. I hope my mum hears this, like, in the kitchen in the morning and she like turns it up, you know what I'm saying? Whereas opposed to certain music I make,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I want people like my mum to turn it off. I want them to turn it off. I want the kids my age to hear it and to get mad and be like, you know what I'm saying, get gassed up. That's what I want sometimes. Just depends on mood, I mean really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think me personally I've always been interested in politics. Like my name's Che after Che Guevara. Oh really? So I feel like I have to be political. But it's a thing where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't really touch on subjects that I know nothing about. Right. I feel like you're just an idiot if you do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, I have to have some knowledge on it and I have to be passionate about it. So even if there's a topic that like I understand it and yeah, like it might be bad, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nothing to do with me. It's like, it's not for me to speak on, you know what I'm saying? And I just won't touch on it. Things like Grenfro, obviously that's my community, my friends who passed away, I'm going to talk on it. Things like Labour and like who's in power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm gonna touch on it because if I thought I can get the kids to go vote for who's gonna build us a better future, I'm gonna do that. You know what I'm saying? So for me, I feel like it's no one's duty. No one has to go and talk about politics. I don't feel like a rapper ever has to because some people say, oh, you should talk about this because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, yea, you can be his role model and he can listen to my music. If I'm his like, sole role model that he's, that's not great if a rapper is being your son's main role model, I forbid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, I've been knowing that the government don't care about like ethnic people, you know what I'm saying? But it's very clear and it's a very stark reminder when you see like a tower burn down which is mostly populated by like Muslims and blacks and they just don't do anything. They just like, okay, we don't care. Whereas if that was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously a tower, you know, it wouldn't even be a tower. If it was a street, like a white suburban street, they'd do everything they can. Like look at Notre Dame in France.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were so quick to raise all the money back to build it even better than it was before with a glass roof. But then when it's a tower block with poor families who died, you don't even want to do anything. It's kind of crazy. There's still blocks in the UK that had the same flammable material on the outside of the block. They haven't even taken it down yet. They just really don't care at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see all of that is not for me man. I actually like it when people dislike me because I feel like I'm doing something right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when people say, I hate that AJ guy. Like why, why does he get all these cool things? Why is he allowed to like, I love that. Do you see a bit of that? I always see it. I always see it. I don't care about it, but I always see it. Really? Yeah man. If I'm like having a bad day and then I see some shit, like aw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working on that gamer career? Yeah, literally. I fuck with Fortnite, Fifa, uh, my boy, Remark, wherever he's going, he's from Toronto, like, he's got me into 2K, so I play a little bit of 2K. Uhm, I really wanna stream though, I like CSGO and these kind of games, so I wanna get into that, man. I'm not really on your Tetris level yet, but I'm okay at these puzzle games, I'm okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not up there yet, but we'll get there. I play games. Uhm, I like to eat a lot. I like to go to different restaurants and try different foods. That's kind of my thing. Hell yea. Yea man, and uh, I guess comedy on Netflix. I'm a bit boring now, man. How you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to hit the clubs and do the whole rapper thing, spray alcohol everywhere and all that stuff. Really? You're over that now? I'm over that now. Yea. And also the buying drip thing, like, drip's cool and like, yea cool, like, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. But like, I'm kinda bored of that as well now. So now I just buy house drip. Really? Buy like, cool rugs and like, you know what I'm saying, like Murakami pieces or what not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming up man, I've got more music with J.Crich, I've got something with, uh, Mostac, I've got something with Notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, where's Skepp? Skepp, if you're watching this, we need to get it in, man. Same. We need to get it in, yeah. Him and then me, yeah. Legend. Uhm, I've got something, me and Asap Ferg going back to back. Really? That's a big one, yeah. Back to back, like, rapping in the same verse? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I think like that, it will never happen. That's what I feel like. I feel like, I like making things that I think are cool. One of my American homies is like, yo, that's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And usually a lot of them like, you know, like Denzel Curry, for example, he hears my music and he'll be like, I know this is super British, but I really fuck with it. You know what I'm saying? And like, that's, that's what I want people to take in. Cause even imagine if I made like an American sounding track, like a, um, I dunno, like a Lil Uzi sounding track and then it popped off in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the problem is that they know I'm British, but they expect American music from me. So I haven't really done anything for British culture. I'm just like an imitation of an American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been watching your interviews, you know what I mean? I've been fucking with you. Furthermore, I'm gonna tell you now live on air, if you look in your DM, I DM'd you before. Did you really? I said bro, I need to link up with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're not all young, but they're just people I really fuck with. Uh, Masterpiece, he's hard. He's hard to look him up. Uhm, Lancie Fo, obviously that's my nigger. Like, he's got his own clout anyway. But it's hard, you get me? I need to say he's hard. Uhm, young Fiume, very hard. Fiume, yeah. Fiume is hard. Good guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, who else man? Who the fuck? Oh, Slow Tie. Okay, yeaah. Slow Tie. Uhm, yeaah man, I think that's it for honourable mentions bro. Okay. Sorry if I forgot anyone that I fuck with man, but that's the ones that come straight to mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since this case has come to light, we've been doing a lot of, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're basically culpable and complicit in those actions. I'm in the process now of developing a new policy that will require that every Indian Health Service employee be a mandatory reporter


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of any potential child abuse, any sexual assault, any, uh, anything potentially criminal in nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've talked a lot about the difficulties we have recruiting providers. Uhm, this isn't going to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, how are you feeling? You okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's putting flowers on John Shepherd's grave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well. I'm the origami killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get my victims into my car, I drown them in rainwater, then I dump them on a wasteland with an origami figure in one hand and an orchid on the chest. I do that because I'm bored, Mr. Shelby, and it's a creative and entertaining way of having fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck no. Damn. That's his style though, that's what's so cool about him is that he's just ruthless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No dude, it's so weird. And like, we just did a bunch of interviews today and like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, it's like seven people looking at you in a fucking room, like, all the once a day, there's like three cameras, no one's saying anything, they're just looking at you, they're on their phone, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I try to, I try to like, make it just feel comfortable, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's, yeaah, it can feel like that sometimes too, and the whole process of like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, we were like a indie band, so now to like sign with a major, like it's a whole, whole different world. Right. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, any kid getting a check, you know, it's hard, hard to say no to that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, and it's like less pressure. Like at the end of the day, I just want to make music. Yeah, definitely. I don't want to be thinking about like how to strategize this shit or like fucking make our band bigger. I just want to like make songs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. Like there's just so much steam behind it too. And it's like, for me, like growing up, I think I just want stability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like with that all, at that point you have all the shit in your hands, you know, you have all like the responsibility of growing your business just like in my hands and I just don't, I just don't like that really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when I was starting out I would just like work shitty jobs as a dishwasher most of the time or make pizzas or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, so one day I was going to school for music, composition, and then I just realized, dude, I fucking don't want to go to work. I hate that. I hate school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just like dropped out and my rent was like 300 bucks in Sacramento, so I started like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing open mics and selling albums and street performing and shit so I would make my living just doing that and then after a while we played shows and built like a following.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, my first time I made it in my car and then I like lived in my car for a little bit so it was kinda, that was when I was like 19, so I'm 24 now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I had a, something like this was a Focusrite 2i2, so it was little teeny ones and then a, uh, condenser mic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I had a power through the computer, I wouldn't need anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Dude, the new iPhones are crazy. That sounds pretty decent, huh? Yeaah, there's an iPhone recording on my album.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I had a 94 Corolla, so I'd be crunched up in the back seat, and my trunk didn't open, so I'd have to like, be crunched up, and a lot of the time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My legs like almost every night would cramp in the middle of the night, so I'd just wake up to a fucking bad fucking cramp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, like, alcoholism kind of rubs on our family, and that's something that he's dealt with a lot when I was a young kid, so. My mom moved away when I was younger, so it was kind of just with my dad, just growing up, and he married kind of some random chicks all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, I don't think, like, a lot of that shit's genetic, you know? Yeaah. Like, it just gets passed down. So, I don't think I have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a lot of people where you just wake up and feel bad. Like, that's with me, I just want to feel bad tomorrow. So I try to like, just drink hella water or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, I can feel it too, like when I start to do bad shit, I can just feel my body's falling apart, I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, in Sacramento there's nothing you can really do over there, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we've had like, we'll play our festivals and kind of go off a little bit or do that, but it's just like, I think a lot of it's this grandiose idea of like what that even means, like being a rock star, being like a, like a popular singer. I think it's all like a, just a giant fucking mirage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like I think, like, I've in the past have been in relationships or been having my life and imagine like what it could be and then I'll like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Break up with my girlfriend and do all this shit. And then I go and try and live that and it's just not, it just makes me feel worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally, totally. Like I was dating this girl that I loved a lot and then I just broke up with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then went on the road and started just, like, fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing will make me happy other than myself, you know? Like I gotta, I gotta really like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Figure out, like, being, having good friends, or like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having good relationships or whatever, instead of like, running around doing stupid shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially on the road when you leave and like you come back or like sometimes different where you like when I'm on the road I feel like I stay exactly the same and then I kind of virtually and then I come back and everyone's like Doing different shit. Yeah, and I feel like I like missed out on like being a friend to like so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally, yeaah. That feels like that all the time. That's why it's, it's, that's why it's so important to get back and like, go home and fucking talk to people and get out, cause then it's like, yo, years doing that and now it's, you don't even fucking know anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally, and it's like, a lot of it too is just me experimenting. Like the last video of a typical story is this dude who spent so much money on this video, like I wrote the treatment but it's just well produced and I kinda realized I don't really like that, like I didn't think it had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enough feeling, you know? Like, I feel like our fans can really tell, like, when I make something. So, like, all the rest of the videos, I got a bunch of film equipment on me, and I try to, like, shoot ourselves. But, fa- dude, like, people are gonna sniff shit out. If you're being, like, somewhat ingenuine, people will just... I know, I can tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's fuckin', yeaah. We just gotta keep it like normal. I got another song coming out. I'm shooting the video for it, it's called Super Cross Check. I bought a Super Cross Check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? It's a fucking car. Oh, okay. Yeah, but I like wrote the whole video, I'm gonna shoot it, direct it, like, do all the photography for it, so I'm pretty excited about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, kind of, yeah, I don't know where the fuck I'm at, cause I don't feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel like I'm on the rap side, I don't feel like I'm on the rock side. So it's, I don't, I kind of have always felt that I'm just, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My own thing, though every artist probably wants to say that about themselves, you know? But, I definitely am straddling the line, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally, yeaah, and it's a bit of both, like, I really got an enchanted one, like, asterrap. I feel like a little bit of that people can hear, but also like bright eyes. Oh wow, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, uh, 2004. That's the one with the, uh, with the red and the white houses on it. It's with the big hit. What's the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was he doing? Painting? He just started painting after the band?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not a drawer? No way. No, it's always, always been that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, yeah, so we were just some fucking band from SAC. Uhm, no one really cared about. And then, we did the contest for the first time. And just first day, dude, we released it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we watched it on the first day and it was doing pretty well and then the next day we woke up and it had like a million views. Wow. And they just kept, dude every day for like, I could scroll my phone notifications and it would just continuously, every second, it was fucking insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was where you were living at that time? That's my friend's backyard. I lived in Oak Park too, but I lived down the street. That was my friend Derek's. He's the guitarist in the band.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, dude, just sharing. It got half a million shares. I think now it's got like total on Facebook, like 80 million views or something. Woah. But uhm, dude, just shares. Cause people shared it and shared it and shared it and shared it and I think a lot of people like thought it was hella bad. So it was a mix of like that polarizing aspect where it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the most, like, catch-22 thing I've ever seen in my life. Like, finally people like my shit, and then also people hate me and that makes me feel bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, before, now it's like I don't really care as much, I don't, I don't really pay attention to it, but. How old are you now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally, totally. At first, dude, I was completely mind blown seeing all this shit, but yeah, I mean, what's the point? I realized too, it's like, doesn't matter. At the end of the day, it's like, I still get to like live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the trade-off is like, now I'm always stressed out. I do have moments of like fucking bliss. So like when we're on stage or we play festivals, I love playing festivals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like every time we're at a festival, there's always like a few moments that like, pure happiness for a lot of the rest of the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like stressed out trying to make sure that all our band shit's going well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just, it's that trade-off. I do feel like sometimes I wish I could go back, because before it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I feel like the chase, not that the chase is over, but I don't, I don't think I care about like having the big song on the radio or being the biggest band or playing bigger rooms. It's, I think the chase is the funnest part. So now I'm trying to figure out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like other avenues to do stuff, like I wanna get into film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a mind-blowing fucking process, dude. And Billie Eilish too, it's like, that's so much shit. She's so young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't imagine. If I'm stressed out with the shit that I'm going through sometimes, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The social interactions are just completely cut off pretty much. And everyone's nice to you, and everyone's treating you the right way, or people trying to use you and make you do shit you don't want to do. Right. Yea, it's a pretty like weird, weird thing to go through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I like, there's some moments like, when we, after every show I always make sure to go out and talk to everyone and like, take pictures and sometimes if we're playing like 2000 cap or something, it's like two hours of me just after a show just standing there. So after a while, I mean, there's some moments where people just are treating me bad or like, be just inconsiderate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes everyone's day, you know? Yeaah. And like, if I have the power to do that, like, I might as well sacrifice however I feel to like, make someone feel better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, that's just crazy. You gotta sell them here too, right? Sell all the shit. What? The jewels. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but uhm, yeaah. But it's cool, it's cool to, it's cool to fucking make people feel better, that's wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a lot of production and you play the tracks and you like, just sing your songs, I think it's a bit harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, like to me it's fun, like I always run off and jump off the stage and run around and fucking... It's just easier, I can see everyone's eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, to me it's way better, like, I try to play as much as we can. Retch by Lala, it's pretty exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Absurd amounts of alcohol. Right. Dude, and they just go fucking insane every show. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll smoke it a little bit. If I'm trying to go to sleep, I'll smoke a indica thing. Kinda makes you go to sleep. Yea, indica's a worm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I'm such an anxious person. Are you really? Yeaah, I'm such an anxious person when I smoke I just get way more anxious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People go fucking insane off the edibles. Yeaah. I've seen the people, yeaah, eat a whole brownie and just lose their mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda, I mean, it's just more, the ones that are, this is a lot chiller, but a lot of the other ones, man, it's like, they got fucking four cameras, they got the manager, assistant manager, camera operators standing there, like, it makes it just feel like it's like, I'm just, like a, like a product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, this is cool, this is so low-key compared to a lot of the shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was on, yeaah, so I was living Oak Park for a couple years at this point, three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then someone just wanted to write an article on me. It's a local newspaper called SNR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They called me and when I saw it, I was like, but I didn't say anything. That's kind of the problem. Like, I didn't, back in the day, like, I didn't like the idea of, like, the public perception of me having a say in it or having to deal with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I've like, that really made me realize like everyone freaked out, got really mad. Or some people freaked out, got really mad. Uhm, and I shouldn't, I shouldn't be labeled as that, but uhm, it wasn't like me, I don't dictate my fucking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean with me, it's, it's, it's like also me not saying anything is kinda fucked up too, it's like me, it's like the privilege of not, not having to say anything, you know? Right. So, it's, it's a really complex situation, it's not even like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem like, the problem is in Sacramento, the Oak Park is just getting gentrified like so quickly. Right. So it's like, it's not even me is the problem. Like maybe, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's so many businesses moving in and not even hiring, like, local African American kids or whatever it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, uhm, just, I think just was the easiest thing to throw it on, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad, like, at the end of the day, like, open conversation, and that's progressive. Progress is the whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, not really. I mean a little bit, a little bit. I've had some problems at like bars late at night. You know, someone will be drunk and talk shit. Yeah, but it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, like before all that shit, they even said that shit, like, I was in Oak Park doing like, recording, like, teaching kids recording, like at the, at the shelter or whatever, like, teaching me as much as I can, so a little bit of it's like, dude, I was like, trying to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and before I was like donating my time and making sure that like, we recorded not a whole album, I think I did like six or seven songs for like, at a homeless youth center, so it's like fucking, dude I'm trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of in the middle of like, they're not session players, but they're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not in like the production process really, so it's basically if I need a guitar part or like need someone to play bass, they'll come and play on it and it's like, but we try to, we try to like figure out like, it took a while to figure out the boundaries of everything, you know, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we do interviews or stuff, like they're not really invited from the people and like I try to get it sometimes and, you know, it's kinda, it's a bit difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's extremely, it's been one of the hardest things for me to deal with, is that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're all my homies and we had to figure out money shit and like, at first, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting signed and what that looked like and the money of, money of the records, money of live shows. It was just like, to do with your best friends, like out of nowhere, knowing we all got, you know, 50 bucks to show in the next moment, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a little bit. It's kinda, you just get in your head a little bit. I gotta like, get away, I think, to right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, every- you just talk shit, you know how like, someone says something fucked up about you? I mean, it doesn't happen anymore when I was younger, like, someone says something like, character fault, and then I'd think about it for like, you know, a couple weeks or whatever. It's kinda the same thing where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People say my flaws on fucking Twitter or whatever it is, and I don't usually care, but I think what I write, it just sticks in the back of my mind a little bit, and I try to, I think it's actually what made the new album sound so different, is uh, I try to make sure that like, every song is different. Like every, the stylistically like, this song is a little bit more hip-hop, this song is like a straight rock song, this song is like folk song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, and if it ever gets to that point, I'll just leave. You know, I'll just like do something else. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like anymore, like, I used to tweet a lot, but now it's like, what do I, it's just like throwing words into the void, I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that's just a problem with the internet in general, like everything gets taken out of context, I feel like. But it's also, like, I really see that social media is like this fucking false place, like this facade of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, the closer you can stay to real life, the better I think. Cause I'm a scroller too, and like, I'm a scroller. I'm a scroller. Can't even scroll in peace. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I get anxious, dude, I'm just scrolling all day, I'll be on my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All it is, every post that I see is just someone's opinion. I think that's the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eh, kinda, not really. We just have some other stuff tomorrow and then, uhm, we have a festival in a few days, so. The Lollapaloo Zone? No, we're doing, we're opening for, uh, it's a, it's a festival in Minneapolis for, uhm, Tim McGraw. Woah. Pitbull. Who else? Like, Aerosmith. And then us, or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if they say that, but. No, they still say that. Really? Yeah, I heard that. No, that's gonna be sad. I can't wait to see him, dude. Holy shit. In a suit, just fucking just tuxed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. I know, and there's gonna be a bunch of fucking, dude, who goes, who goes to a fucking Tim McGraw shit? Who goes to an Aerosmith Tim McGraw shit? Like, right in front of moms, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of it was like what you're saying, like young kids, and then fish playing, you know, fish. Yeah. Fish playing, it was just like all fucking old people. You a fish fan? Not really, they had a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, I listened to that cover that they did of gin and juice when I was younger. Wow. I know. That's all I know about fish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see, I don't think I've heard a lot of like rap shit that I really liked recently. I think the last project I really liked was uhm, The Waters by Mick Jenkins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, that was like my f- my last favorite one. I mean, yeah, none of it really. I don't like, I haven't thought anything since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I used to like every, like Vic Mensa's internet tape, like Acid Rap, Born Sinner, like Section 80, uh, Oxymoron, like that, I feel like that time I only listened to rap and since, I just can't find shit that I really like anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, it was such, like, for me, being like a hip-hop fan, was the most mind-blowing, like, album to ever listen to. It was so, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different than anything else that I feel like anyone could like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's probably like, I think, top three best albums ever made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, just the old gray dad, yeaah, I remember those back from elementary school. Meanwhile, like, if you knock a girl up at 17... Dude, you're gonna be able to like cross your kid up when he's like 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it is, your kids are always better looking than you. But I'm like, that's my main thing is being like afraid of having a kid and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, not being able to play basketball with my kid, you know. I feel like that was, me and my dad did that about, like, a lot when I was a kid. So I've, for some reason I want to like have a kid soon, mainly for that reason. Really? To play basketball with them, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve decided to show my face. He threatened that he was gonna mute my mic and not show my face. Or show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all they didn't fly me first class, but they flew me, but this week I'm driving because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I didn't know is, after the show was over,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you're, that's it. Like you can leave. Like I'm thinking it's like meetings, conversations. Like see you next week. So I had, I flew to Purdue and I had to drive, which is an hour from the airport, so I had to get in the car, drive an hour, then sit in the airport, wait on my flight. And it was a three and a half hour drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so when you get up by 21 points, game over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you. Uhm, I'd get a slight edge to Cincinnati's D-line as well because the thing about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year, when the, when the, when the Bengals played the Browns last year, in the first game, you remember, DJ Reader wasn't there. He was, I think he was hurt. He missed a few games this year, yeaah. And the Browns rattled over him. It was over. Second game, he was there. And I think it might have been one of Chell's worst games. So, I think that, having that guy in the middle,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And obviously the Browns have to come up with a plan to try to get him out of there. But when you got a defensive tackle that can penetrate like that and get in that backfield and make that running back stop his feet, that's like the worst thing for a running back. And he does a great job of doing that. Uhm, I don't know, maybe we can blame it on the health of the offensive line, but I just think DJ Reed is a really good tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I would, for that reason right there. And then on the outside, I mean, Jared Wills and Jack Conklin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They hit or miss, you know, so it's, I wouldn't get a slight edge to Cincinnati's D-line because Trey Henderson is one of those guys that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he get going, for the Saints, he was really productive. With Cincinnati, he's been very productive, and you're right, he's one of those guys that don't, his name doesn't get mentioned in the top DNs, but he's just outside that category, and he can be a problem. And Sam Hubbard is a guy that got a great motor on him, who's gonna keep coming and coming and coming and coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, they're, they're very seldomly are they not gonna make the play. Right. Like in a one-on-one situation, more times than not, they do a good job of tackling. It's like a Bobby Wagner. If Bobby gets a one-on-one and it's clean, he's gonna, he's a for sure tackler. Right. So. That's what Dequel Jackson was. Exactly. Dequel always made


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns are going to have to have a way, it really comes down to the center. You know, Ethan Pochett is going to have to, he's going to have some times where he's going to have one-on-ones. The guard might give him a little bump, but he got to get to that next level to help get to that linebacker. If he gets hands on the linebacker, that's how you create those alleys and that's how the running backs hit it, which is what Chubb is looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also com- it also comes down to... what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was only interested because I was like, you know, maybe thinking about dang, we did lose J.C. Tredder and you know, did that, is it the center position that, that's kind of hampering the run sometimes? Like, you know, cause that's a big part. If the center can handle the tackle by himself, then that guard is free to push up to the next level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since they've been playing, obviously the Browns have always rolled over even in the loss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I don't think they D-line look dominant over our offensive line. No. So yeaah, with that being said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead Tyves. Uhm, I give the slight nod to the Browns as well. Outside of everybody, Mark Cooper is the guy. Obviously he'll go up against Cheeto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Cheeto and Coop played together in Dallas, which I played with both of them in Dallas for a preseason. And I remember we used to talk about how Mario Cooper was unguardable, so it'll be interesting to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those two go back and forth at it, even though Cheeto is coming off of a serious injury. So I think it's going to take a while for him to get back to him being what he was anyways. He got to get back in the groove with things. So Mark Cooper gets that slightish. My favorite guy is Mike Hilton out of this matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna have Elijah Moore. Now the interesting thing about that one is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ultimately, I think I get a slight nod to the Browns because of the fact that they got Deshaun Watson. And Deshaun's gonna put that ball in the spot where only his guys get it. Uhm, we've seen him in the preseason and I got a chance to see him in practice. He looks really, really good and I'm excited to see him get back out there and do that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just from the simple fact that I think Deshaun Watson will be back, that's why I'm going to get a slight advantage to the Browns receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I just, I gotta see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just think that at that safety position...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As safety at the most is the most communication because you see everything, you know, maybe a corners out there and he's in his own world, but as a safety, you got to see the whole picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or that wide receiver has a reduced split. Let me tell this corner, hey, be alert for this over. Tell this linebacker, be aware for this over route that's about to come. It's a lot of communication that goes on at that safety. And for it to be two young guys, it kind of concerns me. So I can see it potentially being a coverage bust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then on top of that, even though Lew is such a great defensive coordinator, it might be times in that game where he says, you know, I can't necessarily call that because I don't know how they can handle it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now as the season goes on, obviously they'll get better, but as a first time out there with the Bullets live flying where games and stats actually count,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta call things that your players are comfortable with and knowing that they have a grasp on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder, is Mark, is Mark Keith playing? Do y'all know that? Do we know that? Mark Keith's good one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think that's the, that's the good thing about Elijah Moore. If you blitz now, like Mike Hilton is such a great slot blitzer. But if you blitz him now, we throwing the check, we throwing the out or the screen right to Elijah. He's got to get there right away or he'll be in trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well Leroy, you know that Kevin Stefanski came out on the podcast and said like, you know, back in the day where you had to run to set up the pass, he passes to set up the run now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you saying this year we're going to see Nick Chubb carry the ball 20 plus times majority of the games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I see, that's it, yeaah. He, uh, anyways. What are we doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I, can I, let me ask you this question and we'll circle back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It better say or. Are players looking at that? It better say or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These is your boys that you went through camp with, you went through ups and downs with them, so you kind of don't want to let them down. And you know it's like, and I get people like, well you need to be concerned about your health, but that's, it sounds crazy, but you're not thinking about that. Not when you're 24. Yeah, I'm like, I'm young, like I'm good, like I want to play this game. So if he can go, if he finds a way to clear that protocol, I definitely think he's going to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if he not playing and we got Martin Emerson, I think that it would obviously be tough on Jamar Chase. And don't get me wrong, this award is good. I'm not going to say he's necessarily going to shut down Jamar Chase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But having a guy that can at least be there step for step with him kind of affects maybe a quarterback think, okay, maybe it's not there. I think Martin Emerson or Greg Newwood, probably Greg Newwood because he'll probably be in the slot more. Greg Newwood, he's going to have to do something. I mean, Jim Schwartz is really going to have to earn his money. You got to really depend on that defensive line getting home because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to cover Jamar Chase one on one is a tough ass for anybody in the NFL. So I think at that point, maybe you do a thing where you got G new, you know, playing underneath routes and you got somebody over the top. Maybe you have a Dale Pitt spot shadow and looking, coming down, cutting routes and stuff like that. Like you, you just got to be creative with a guy like that. G, what did you think when you saw the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One running back, one tight end, three receivers, eleven personnel. So a lot of nickel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know why he gonna have a good year? Steve, let me see the camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause De'Quel Jackson worked with him during OTA's and if he don't, I got De'Quel Jackson's number personally and I will give him a phone call and tell him that coaching is not in his future if he can't fix J-Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Miles Garrett is the key to the defense. I mean, the way he's been playing for his whole career, but particularly this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this is the first year that a defensive coordinator has put him in a, in a technique, in a scheme where he can thrive. I don't even know how necessarily much you can double team a guy that's in a wide nine, because if he goes out around you and the tackle in the tight end tries to go around, like that's over the top for a slice down the middle. So I think Jim Swartz is smart enough to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That if, if you want to be, if you try to make Miles Gere the decoy, like you're going to hurt yourself by sending blitzes and stuff like that. So I think this could be Miles Gere, it should be Miles Gere's most productive year. You know, he's come out many years and said, it's up to this defense. We got to carry this team. You know, they said that last year and obviously it was a huge letdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this year it can't be that. Like they, it's so much they've done from a front office standpoint to get this defense to where it could, where it needs to be for them to take that next step. And he's a key part of it. I mean a guy who's gonna live really in one on one, maybe two, maybe try to get double teamed a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns' offensive line this whole year, which has made them better. And I just think that if he don't get defensive player of the year this year, it might not happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, last year, it happened last year, you know, coming into the season, the defense was supposed to be the focal point and he was supposed to be a big part of it. And then obviously, with the quarterback situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you go around the league, and you look at guys like Michael Parsons. They lose Dak Prescott, and Michael Parsons becomes that game record. Now, don't get me wrong, he's faced double teams, but you know, Miles Garrett is getting tripled. And he got more help on his side. He got Demarcus Lawrence. Exactly. A star player. And then you think of T.J., or T.J.Y. He's like, he's such a game record, and it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stopped, he went with, I guess the record with him on the field is their wins and losses is totally different and blah, blah, blah. And everybody looks at Miles Garrett and says, well, why is he impactful like that? And I think you hit it on the head. No, no, no, it's not the quarterback. I mean, yes, but that's not what I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. It's been the D line and not a, and I think this is the first time as a front office, they looked at it and said, let's go ahead and get everything we can from a coach and a scheme and player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful. Will it be, will it be a Coach Tyva segment next week? Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get lined up, cock his stance, and either come at me full speed where he can bully me or go around me. Like that's, that's tough. Like, or if, and if I get too far, he's just gonna go underneath. So why don't we just do it then? That's a great question. Maybe they don't have the DN, the athlete of a DN to do it. That's fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say maybe four steps. Four steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I get stopped in Columbus, it's... It's for being a Buckeye. No, actually it's for being on the radio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You come out there, or the one thing I used to hate was the check with me. So you get up there, line up, see what they in, then everybody look to the sideline, I hate to stand there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why? Cause you got the defense. If I pin them down on the one yard line, they shouldn't move. And then they gotta punt it back to us. We get the ball on the 50 and now it's only 50 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I disagree. Yeah. Oh, really? You know what he gon' do? They gon' be like, hey Miles, come on, you know what he gon' do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what that mean? Go back to that side. I'm not coming out. That's just seems like the type of guy Miles Garrett is. So, I expect him to be out there on the field. He's probably going to do the first, like every one that he can. If he goes three plays and it extends, maybe he'll take maybe a one or two play blow, but outside of that, he ain't coming off that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Empty did so for anybody for NFL rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime you see empty, it's quick game until it's not. Everybody, this is crazy that I'm giving out these DB tips. As a DB, when I see empty, I'm telling you right now, the ball's coming out early. Why? Because there's nobody to protect the quarterback. So the clock in their head is quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the reason why that you will, you probably will see more empty backsets, that's why Elijah Moore is the important part because he'll come out, they'll come out with three receivers, one tight end and then they'll have him as the running back. So he'll come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line up at running back. What does that do? That makes you think, oh my goodness, they, the linebacker gotta check this dude. So then they'll go here, space him out, boom. Now that linebacker is going, cause Mike Hilton's already checking the slot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking, I'm talking like, let's just put it in perspective. They come out with three receivers plus Elijah Moore in a tight end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that's what, that's what the card would be on the defense. 0-1 person, no running backs, one tight end. And if Elijah Moore is the running back, that means that defense gotta come out and dime. Yup. They gotta come out and dime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means that the box is light, the linebacker gotta check the tight end. If you kick the tight end out and pull it in the spread and keep Elijah Moore in the backfield, you hand the ball off to him, you got one on one with a DB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, they ain't trying to hit like that no way, so he make him miss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's about as official as it gets. And I'm mad about it. Why? I'm really mad, I'm mad, not at the fact that he's retiring, like I understand, you know, he got a lot of stuff going on, but I'm mad at the way the Guardians did this, man, because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like they, it was like a spit in the face this whole season. Like they started off with such high expectations. Things went south. You trade all these guys away at the trade deadline, leaving with nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then y'all go out there, lose twenty to six to the freakin' twins, and y'all tryin' to fight back, y'all blow a game last night. It's just like, the whole thing to me just been like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause if you get out there and get touched and you get bumped again, then it's like, you gotta start the whole process over again. So it's like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think that's what they're trying to do, because I think they're saying that he'll be able to pass his tests. Like, he must feel really good that he'll be able to pass his tests in the next two days. But, yeaah, he ain't, as far as team and all that stuff, he is not doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's got this no holds barred attitude and the other side would be damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they didn't want to give our members any shot at claiming legislative victories in the political game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's no holds barred politician that was about partisan warfare 100% of the time. Rahm Emanuel helped put down steroids for her on the floor of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She saw early on that the harder she fought, the more attractive she was as a leader for her caucus members so they could go home and represent to their constituents that they're fighting hard every single day and not giving an inch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at that point, the White House was following what Nancy Pelosi wanted to do and jamming everything they wanted. They weren't getting our help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obamacare was the thing that carried us into the majority and Nancy was a big part of allowing that to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's got this, uh, no holds barred attitude that she's gonna go run the tables and the other side be damned. Uh, and that came to cost her the majority in 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's the democratic leader, somebody he has to reckon with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she didn't give up any opportunity to make a real spectacle of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I think cause it's Kidda Cuds. Right. That's what the British people call it, but when I was making the name it was Kidda Cuds, so you said it right.

But I got, I got, I got like a step mom and a, I have two half brothers. So the thing was that I was the only son for my dad, if you know what I mean. So one of the ones that my dad just wanted to move me out of Nigeria. So when I, I came over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually went back, by the way, because I didn't understand it, you know what I'm saying? Honestly, me, I've been with my mom all my life, so now I'm moving to a different country, and I have to leave with another mom. Having to relearn everything. Yeaah, and my mom is alive, so I'm like, no, I'm just gonna go back to Nigeria. So I went back to Nigeria, then I won a talent show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

I needed to go back to Africa, like I needed the noise, like the stuff. I loved it, you know what I'm saying? Cause that's all I knew, you know what I'm saying? But after that I moved there, then me and my dad, I kind of ran away from where I used to live, so I couldn't do it.

So I wasn't really like, oh that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everything just worked out. Yeah. And even then when I was in the house, my mum got locked up in Nigeria.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I appreciate, I appreciate the fact that you actually accepted, cause I thought, I messaged Casper like about an hour ago that bro, does it, does it have clues coming there?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as I said, a good girl that has your back, that's the most important thing. And most girls out here don't really have your back, you know what I'm saying? So like, there's really nothing out there, if you're being honest. People are telling me, okay, I want to be set with it as well. I'm like, bro, like, it's a lot of work. Don't get me wrong.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm still fresh in the, in the, in the relationship stuff here. It's still, I'm still trying to, you can't be a baby boy and be a man at the same time. So you have to just find a balance. So it's like, when she pisses me off, I just want to get angry. But as a man, you just have to just take some things in and just know, that's shot, man. You know what I mean? Just ignore stuff. But I'm learning.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

I feel it within myself and for like Radio 1 and the other day I was at, I went on Top 40 on iTunes and I was like on number 1 on Shazam and this collab I did for like, you're still on number 2 now by the way on Shazam in the UK and 27 on Spotify, uhm, uhm, artists, whatever, but it's just one of them things that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never, I'm never like scared to like say stuff the way it comes out of my head. Cause I'm African and there's a lot of things that I can never change the way it sounds in my head.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've worked on my sound, cause it was hard for me bro, I don't like to use that, me coming from Africa then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you're just a freshly like, you don't understand anything, then do a lot of listening to music, try to find, before I was doing Nigerian music in the UK, it wasn't working for me. You understand what I'm saying? And I had to find, okay, no, I live here now, let me find a balance of what Nigerian people can fuck with and people over here can fuck with. So I just, I'm not losing anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and, and that's why, and that's the reason why I'll just keep, cause, like I said, shout out Playbo, Playbo Kart and Ace of Rocky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things like that, yeaah, I was old until, even this, I was old until forever, cause this is, these are places that they never see you get to, from where I come from, and I'm saying like, shout to the older artists doing their thing, like other big Nigerian artists, but when it comes to how I came up, it's different. I didn't have no AOP names from nobody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got, I got boxers as well. Oh wow. Yeah, I got boxers, I got tracks. I just- I can do that. Literally, like, the way of I dress, I don't know, cause there's something, like, about this industry, like, people, like, so I never get excited when brands aim me up and stuff, cause I'm like, why don't I just make my own stuff, like, you know what I mean, like, and that's what I did, I'm like, I wear this hat so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I already done that, so after, you'll never see me wear this next time you see me, you know what I mean? This is gonna be my stuff, you know what I'm saying? Rapping my stuff, I'm just trying to push.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it goes in this industry, like that's why I'm already aware of it. Cause it took me nine years to get here. So I'm like, you know what, before people start getting tired of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just try and make sure I'm finding the balance. I'm doing the right songs and at the same time I'm like investing in other things that can help just in case things goes wrong.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you doing? Ever since then, yeaah, it has really changed because it's fed off my energy to understand that them things don't really make you somebody. Right. You see what I'm saying? It's cool to wear, like, them brands here, but, like, it's not, I like, I like Balenciaga Triple S by the way. Cause at some point they're just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, in, in, is it Rodeo Drive? When I went to LA. It wasn't my plan by the way, it was this shit plan. It was like, what's wrong with you bro, just buy something. Because I go to the shop and I never buy nothing. Because I'm like bro, like what's this man? Like, because I still have that, that mentality of bro, like life used to be crazy, you know. So don't let, don't let this, this, we're not rich here, but okay, don't let this, don't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smoke! And then just smoke on yourself and dip and go yeaah. So I still got that mentality of, of, of, of, of a broke guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying, I'm still like, I'm still moving very correct. I think that's important, honestly. Yeaah, I'm still moving correct, cause bro, like, I've seen so many people, like, got money, and next minute they're just down the drain and shit, and they're sad, and they're DMing me, asking me for stuff. Really? I'm like, I thought you actually, I thought, that means I'm actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, bro, it's crazy, man. And everyone, when you say no to people, it becomes a problem. Now, I know people that they enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, probably, people I've met off, like, music, the musician out there in jail, they DM me and say, oh bro, I mean, can you send me social, some money? And I, bro, I just done, like, a family shopping, like, like the other day, I just bought new sofas in the house, I just did the most important thing, make sure there's food in the house, make sure that my baby stuff are ready to go when it lands. So I'm, I'm doing the things that, that key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when people never see me floss or anything, I'm never in the club. Like, if I go clubbing, I'm just there to perform and get the fuck out. Like, I don't, cause when I was, when I was 14 years old, I've been in clubs from Africa is normal. So like, it's one of the ones that I'm like, what am I doing in clubs? Now I got a girl, what am I looking for? You know, I said, I said, gee, when you go to the club, you know, you're trying to get drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, I'll never go broke again, bro. You know what I'm saying? How can I double up this little money that I have? How can I make it something? Cause trust me, like, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

You see what I'm saying? Back in the day when I was out here doing my thing, it was like, whatever happens, happens. Like, we could record a song today and drop it today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no like, oh yeaah, we gotta plan this, yeaah, we need radio plugs, em, em, PR for online, um, artwork, that, that, that. So now it's like, alright cool, but thank god, last year I was working crazy bro. So I, I've actually, I finished my mixtape since last year, and I've finished singles for the next project since last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So everything I'm just doing is just like, I'm just working on other stuff. So because I'm having a baby now, I'm not in the same mentality I was, or the same mindset I was last year by just recording. But now I just wanna, I'm trying to prepare to be a father, like, and this is my first child, so I'm like, I don't know what it's gonna be like. So right now I had a lot of, a lot of breakdowns.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like in a long time, so I was adding a neck, bro, like, and even girls were scared to speak to me because when I woke up to you think I'm gonna fight you.

They're like, dude, you're gonna end up fucking your life up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just so long. When I go to gym, my phone is going off and I'm like, bro, like, I'm not meant to be in here, you know what I'm saying? But the thing is that it works out a certain way, you know what I'm saying? Cause I, cause my music, I might use my brand to like, to like, to like make money in any way.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was kind of shocking actually for Pelosi early on in her tenure as a leader to go to Democratic members and ream them out to chide them for co-sponsoring bills with members of the other party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whether she was actually going to become the speaker was an open question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump sees that Nancy Pelosi is weak at that moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump is literally saying like, hey Nancy, you know, you need some help getting over the line there, we'll, we'll help you out. It would have been infuriating to Nancy Pelosi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In part from his feeling of vindication and that he could do whatever he wanted with impunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a maximum moment of fury I think for Nancy Pelosi. If you want a visual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do no worse, I think, than to have this image of the Speaker of the House literally ripping up the words of the President of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a moment of profound fury on Pelosi's part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt that she had been warning and warning and warning about Donald Trump


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought that McConnell and McCarthy finally saw what she had seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have the overwhelming power of the pro-Trump chorus in the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is clearly the premier vote counter in Washington today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's ending her career at a time where expectations are trimmed, both for Democrats and therefore for Pelosi herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I choked up at dust yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, says the man in Washington, it belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican, it belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow, it belongs to everyone. I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose rapture.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think about that, there's been so many players that were like good players for a couple of years. And like the other sports, like baseball and basketball, if you're a good player, you can play 10, 12, even 15 years in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's good NFL players who only play for three, four years sometimes. Or maybe they're only good for three, four years, then they have one or two


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright yeaah, we got, we got a lot to get to today. We got the, what's the name of the game again? It's real or fake player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, so we'll get to that. Obviously we'll talk about the cuts that we didn't get into. The biggest one being Hurst, which we'll get into in a second.
