00:00I'm about to put you on a story. See, I'm really from Africa.

00:05I came over here from Africa to the hood and I started this rap thing.

00:10And I'm going to take it to the top. This is the history you're looking at.

00:18Us watching America as kids.

00:22They sell you the dream.

00:24They don't show you that behind those buildings there's the nightmare part.

00:27It's like gladiator school. You either pray or you're a predator.

00:31All four of us had one room. It was the grind of all grinds.

00:35I was an immigrant with no papers. I can't go to college. I can't get a job.

00:40My pop didn't like the way French was going and he wanted to leave French.

00:45I just remember my mother working two, three jobs.

00:48I walked in on my mother one time crying, praying.

00:51You don't want to see your mother like that.

00:53What other options you got?

00:55Hit the streets.

00:58We were all slaying whatever we got to slay. Guns, coke, music.

01:05As he was getting hotter in the streets, he turned into an artist.

01:10Next thing you know we hooked up. We got in the studio and we was like brothers.

01:14At this time, me and Max would be running the city.

01:17It was him and his people against whoever.

01:20This young, untouchable mob boss from New York.

01:23Music controls the streets.

01:26I just see two dudes on the corner.

01:28He's like, yo bro, I got to come in and tell you something crazy.

01:31They just shot your brother.

01:33From that point on, I just seen his whole life shape.

01:36That was the breaking point.

01:39I got to stop and I got to start building my empire for my family.

01:49Shot Caller came out.

01:51It was his time, his first album.

01:52Everything he got, man, he earned it.

01:54French Montana has been named the most streamed African born artist.

01:58Feel like I'm fresh out the booth.

02:01Imagine her being in the States alone.

02:04Imagine not seeing your brothers and sisters for 20-something years.

02:07My brother locked up first.

02:09Chinks had just died.

02:11Max B, got 75 years.

02:13I was in the worst place you could be at.

02:15I met these kids.

02:17It's not about the notes you can hit or the raps that you can write.

02:20It's just people have to believe something about you.

02:23When my father left, a part of me died.

02:26And I never looked back for that part.

02:29This is the history you're looking at.
