00:46How is 2025?
00:47How is the beginning of 2026 for you?
00:51It's been a grind, you know.
00:52We've been putting in work a long time, you feel me?
00:54It's starting to show now, though.
00:56But it's been a grind, though.
00:57So, 2026, we're going up.
00:59I've been a little chill, you know, taking a break on and off.
01:02But I'm on and I'm on the gas, though, most definitely.
01:06All right.
01:06So, tell us about the name, Boss Man Pop.
01:09What does it mean to you?
01:11Really, you know, like I said, my son, Michael Phelps, you know, everybody around me turned bosses.
01:17You know what I mean?
01:17I mean, it used to be Y-I-G-Pack, and I used to stand for, you know, young niggas getting it.
01:22I don't know if I can say that.
01:23I don't know.
01:24No, you're good.
01:24You're good.
01:25Do what you got to do.
01:26No, you stand for young niggas getting it.
01:27Now, we boss us, you know.
01:29I used to be a worker, you know, went from a worker turned to a boss.
01:32You know, it's a blessing.
01:34I love that.
01:35Now, are you from where D-Lo's from in Florida?
01:38We both from the same hood, Porcelano, Florida.
01:41Shout out to my hood, Porcelano, Florida.
01:44Yeah, I love it how you guys go back and you touch the city.
01:48And how important is giving back to, like, where you come from?
01:52It's very important.
01:53It's very important.
01:54Can't forget where you come from.
01:56That's what molded us.
01:58You know what I mean?
01:58It's a lot of real people that played a lot of real parts to get us here, you know.
02:03So, what motivated you to get into the rap game?
02:05What was some inspiration and kind of, like, you know, helping you mold your sound
02:10and kind of create, you know, the vibe that you're putting out right now?
02:14You know, it's really my hood, you know.
02:16I'm really a part of my hood, part of where I'm from, you know.
02:20And really, I was pushing my dog for a long time, you know, Boss Mandela.
02:25I was pushing him for a long time, so I saw the grind that went into it.
02:28You know, I saw the hard work that went into it, the late nights, the studios.
02:32So, I kind of just molded myself into what I needed to do.
02:36You feel me?
02:37I laid it all out.
02:38Got to respect that, too, man.
02:39Like, especially seeing D-Lo's success and you being, like, kind of a fly on the wall at first.
02:43To see it and then kind of, you know.
02:45And it's not easy for a lot of guys, like, coming up into rapping.
02:48Like, rapping, they feel like they got it.
02:50They got to have it right now.
02:51They got to, you know, get the motion right away.
02:53But it's like, you know, you support the team, support the cars.
02:56And look, now you got your own shows.
02:57You putting your high singles out right now.

03:02I was a sponge for a long time, just soaking up the game.
03:05I love that.
03:06Stay down till your turn comes.
03:08Because a lot of people like to give up.
03:10Most definitely.
03:10And the entertainment industry is so hard.
03:12Like, you could be grinding for, like, 20 years.
03:15And in that 21st year, you might blow up.
03:17Most definitely.

07:32So, you know, I really take everything from them.
07:34So, I really depend on them to show me the right way.
07:36You know what I mean?
07:37So, it's really a blessing to have these type of people around me, especially people
07:41that's good at what they do, and they know what they're doing.
07:44So, I'm in good hands.
07:46I'm in good hands.

08:02So, what you got planned for us this year?
08:05Tape.
08:05I'm going to drop my first tape this year.
08:07That's going to come probably about three, four more months.
08:10I want to give them a couple more singers so they could get the vibe, they could get the
08:14sound out.
08:15But once we got that established, man, tape, man, features, we're going to do some features.
08:20We're going to go out, though.
08:22You got any dream collabs that you want to do?
08:27Probably like Kevin Gates.
08:29Okay.
08:30I like Kevin Gates.
08:31That was one of my favorite rappers going up, Kevin Gates.
08:35Have you been shocked by any celebs that may slide in the DMs?
08:41They've been like, bro, I'm fucking with the music.
08:43Any celebs?
08:43Dropping flame emojis and whatnot.
08:46I mean, I've been seeing a couple people here and there, but to be honest, I don't really
08:50be on the...
08:51I don't really pay.
08:52They told me when I first got in the game, don't even pay attention to the comments and
08:57the likes.
08:58So I can't even tell you who coming in and who not liking.
09:02I'm just focused on the music right now.
09:05Now, Port Slerno is a small city in Florida.
09:09What would you tell that young boy that wants to grow up and be a rapper like you?
09:14Well, stay at it.
09:16Stay down.
09:17Don't let nobody tell you different.
09:20You know, a lot of people said we weren't never going to be in this position.
09:23A lot of people used to ride by us like, man, I don't know what they doing.
09:27They need to get a job.
09:28They need to figure it out.
09:29The whole time we had it figured out.
09:31You know what I mean?
09:32But just stay down.
09:33Stay at it, man.
09:34Stay focused.
09:36Keep working hard.
09:37Keep chasing your dream.
09:39Keep having hope.
09:40That's all you need.
09:42All you need is a little hope, man.
09:44A little hope.
09:45One person, one or two people that believe in you, man.
09:49That's all you need.
09:51I love that.
09:51Now, before we wrap this thing up, can you tell us like a piece of advice that Boss
09:58man D-Lo may have given you?
10:01Like the greatest piece of advice you feel he's giving you?
10:05The greatest piece of advice?
10:07Save my money.
10:09That's important.
10:10That was the greatest piece of advice he gave me.
10:13Save my money.
10:15Yeah.
10:15Gave myself like a boss at all times.
10:19Saving money is super important because, you know, I'm starting to notice that a lot
10:23of rappers that I thought had money really don't have money because they be blowing it.
10:28Yeah, most definitely.
10:29So crazy.
10:30Yeah.
10:30So save that money.
10:32Most definitely.
10:32Save your money.
