I learned a lot from them, especially DaBaby. It was always me and brother just moving around, but once I got with a team, that’s when everything started picking up and going the right way. I spent so much money and ran into people who said they can do this and that for me, but they couldn’t and I never had a team. Once I started taking rapping seriously, I had to learn it. So it’s like I always had it in my mind that I couldn’t live that lifestyle forever. But you can really make that money by being a rapper. Not everyone can be a Pablo Escobar or El Chapo, so if you’re not them, you’re not making any real money in the trap. With rap, you can make so much money off it that you’ll probably never have to experience being a drug dealer.

When did you know you had to leave the trap life behind and pursue music full time? North Carolina is doing its thing now too. Atlanta is, like, two or three hours up the street. The city isn’t known for music, so you have to go somewhere that’s known for that. You have to make people want to listen to you so it’s like I don’t ever use anything as an excuse. I used to get frustrated with DJs that wouldn’t spin my music or people who weren’t rocking with my music, but you have to realize, DJs are probably getting thousands of songs a day. I don’t try to have an excuse for anything because I don’t do that at all. With someone that has shown love to the Carolinas as much as you do, does it make you look at your city differently because you have to get popular elsewhere? I just know it came from grinding and being strategic with this s–t. I’m kind of like in that stage now because at first, I felt like everybody was against me, but now, even when I know it’s fake love from somebody, I will still rock with them. In Columbia, you have to really grind and d–n near get popping somewhere else to where they’ll accept you back home. Where I come from isn’t like Atlanta or anywhere else where you make some music and people are going to embrace it. It’s a good feeling because I’ve been doing this s–t for a while. How do you feel getting this recognition now?
You’ve had a long journey to get to this point in your career. I didn’t even know what studio equipment consisted of, but I just knew what was going on in that kitchen. That really influenced me to make music, period. I think I was like, 13, when I made my first song and it was about my mama or something like that. It made me want to get into it and try to make a song. We lived in an apartment and it was right in the kitchen so I couldn’t help but hear the bass and the music that they were putting out.
