00:00You know, people always put me in this underrated, underground, oh he's so underrated,
00:04this, that, and the third. But I'm like, bro, I'm going to get big regardless. It's going to happen.
00:08I just know every time I drop, I'm only getting closer to my goal. To tell you the truth,
00:12I don't even want to be super big, for real. I just like making music, enjoying art, making art,
00:18putting it out to people, and making sure they love it. And you know what I'm saying?
00:21Come to the shows and enjoy themselves. Have a good time. That's all I'm on.
00:30I got a pack from F and Z, right? And I was going through the pack and they had a bunch
00:34of instrumentals in there. When I was going through it, that beat came up and it was made
00:37by them and Skip on the Beat. I wasn't trying to do the da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da that I usually do.
00:42When it came down to that, I was like, okay, I can make money from the comfort of myself.
00:46It just came to me. I just wanted something that people could just hear, quote, and just say,
00:50without overthinking it. I sent it to Ferg probably two or three times, and Ferg finally
00:55heard it and then he was like, oh yeah, I know what to do. That's when he came out with his
00:58verse. He was like, fuck a new chain, I got a new house. Oh, that's your boo thing,
01:02she need a new mouth. I bless the gold panes, that's just my root canal. Every time I get
01:07dressed, I got to move my bow. Shit on niggas. You know what I'm saying? I was like, damn,
01:11he killed it. It made me think like, damn nigga, should I redo my verse? And then when Tia came
01:15around, man, next thing you know, I get a text from Tia. Ha! I did it! Yeah! Right here! Boom!
01:21All the lyrics! Ah! Ah! Ah! And then that's how it happened. The one line that sticks out,
01:27dollar points! You know? She gon' kill me. She is gon' fucking kill me.
01:41When I was making that song, I was sitting down. That's what came to my mind. I could
01:45make money from the comfort of my sofa. That's just sound like some cool ass shit.
01:48So much drive, now I got to get a chauffeur. Everybody's just like,
01:51ugh, these elementary school bars. And it's like, it's not though. I'm saying that I got
01:56so much drive that eventually I will have to get a chauffeur because they're going to drive
02:00me everywhere. Also saying I'm making money to get that chauffeur. You feel me? But I'm also
02:06saying that I got drive because I'm on 5 for Life. Most people ain't on 5 for Life, man.
02:11They ain't dousing gasoline, nigga. They ain't goddamn like the matching, ugh, ah! They ain't
02:16do that. And I actually pulled up with a chauffeur today. So it's not like I'm not living what I wrote.
02:29Me and my boy Kenai Yada, we created this thing called Ultra Ground. And we got a few
02:33members that's on the project that's in Ultra Ground. So you have myself, you have Kenai Yada,
02:38and you have Play That Boy, Zay, that's also part of Ultra Ground. And he's on the song
02:41Hoodlums with A$AP Rocky. And then you have Mad World, who produced Wishlist. We're all part of
02:45this collective that me and Key created. And me and Kenai Yada are former Raider Clan members,
02:50you know? That's why I said, okay, he go by Mr. Don't Fold and I go by Big Ultra. I just felt like
02:55that just sounded like a hard ass name, like Big Ultra. But essentially, that's just me.
03:04The world is in my hands because I took it off your shoulders. Because it's just like,
03:08I got the whole world on my shoulders and I don't know what to do. Meaning they're stressed
03:11about life and what's going on. But me, I'm putting it in my hands to let them know the
03:16world is in my hands and I can do whatever I want. So I feel like everybody should have that
03:20mentality of like, hey yo, the world is in my hands. It's what you do with it is the real thing.
03:25Instead of having it on shoulders, it should be in the palm of your hand.
03:34Honestly, when you balling, everybody has an eye on you, just clocking everything you do,
03:40where you at, where you move, where you live and trying to take what's yours,
03:43you know what I'm saying? So, like Yachty, I gotta keep one in my holster. And that was one
03:47of the most fire songs I heard last year. Like that shit, that shit was crazy. I was like,
03:53like Yachty, gotta keep one in my holster. Strike, and the song is called Strike.
04:07Back when I was young, bro, I had a gun early as hell.
04:10Being from Cary City and being from Florida, you know what I'm saying? I was able to get a gun,
04:13like an AR-15 at 18 from a pawn shop. So that's why I was saying,
04:17ain't shit changed but the number on my front door. I'm still the same person.
04:20I just got a little bit more fame, a little bit more notoriety,
04:23critically acclaimed several times. It doesn't matter. I'm still the same person that I was
04:27then. I just, you know, matured a bit and kind of got my shit together.
04:32Even Lil Flip said it. If you gonna buy a chain, make sure you buy a gun. You see a lot of people
04:43getting robbed for their chain and not having nobody there, getting shot for their chain,
04:47getting killed over rocks and metal. You know what I'm saying? That's why I'm saying like,
04:51yo, this is nothing. Anybody could acquire this. It's how you acquire it is the thing.
04:55I worked hard to be able to look the way I look and do what I do. When you come in a society where
05:00everything's fast paced and you want it now, now, now, now, now, because sometimes you don't
05:05have too many options or you don't think you have too many options, then you go for the latter.
05:10Like, nah, I'm just going to get it right now because I really want it. And it's just like,
05:13you'll mess up your whole life just to acquire something that you could have easily got in the
05:17next few years. It's not going nowhere. Slow money is always the best money. I learned that from Nick.
05:23What the collaboration means, and that goes for, you know, with Key Nyata and
05:27A$AP Ferg and Rocky and myself. Four guys, two from each side, being able to come together and
05:33make something of what could have been back in the day if Rocky and Purp would have never beefed
05:37in the first place, you know? It was more so about the energy that was brought in 2010,
05:4211, and 12 that created this whole wave. If it wasn't for us, there'd be no X, no Ski Mask,
05:48no Suicide Boys, no Cardi's, nothing. There'd be none of that. We were the first. We was the first
05:53to do it. We was all young, so if we were all a little bit more sensible about how to go about
05:58things, then the whole game would be different today.
