0:43
yourself. What up? What up, man? I go by
0:45
the name Trader Troop, aka King Truth,
0:48
Houston's hometown hero. All right.
0:51
Listen, before we get started, man, I
0:52
want you to know I'm I'm a big fan of
0:54
your work, your music. My favorite song
0:57
from you is Swinging with Big Hawk. Like
0:58
that's swag. Yeah. Swag and swag. Swag.
1:02
That's what brought my career to the
1:04
national status. Right. That that that
1:06
record is dope. It's like it it defines
1:08
what Houston culture. Yeah. Yeah. The
1:11
cars, the label RP. Yeah. RP Big Hawk.
1:14
And um Yeah. I love that. I love that
1:16
joint. Yo, that's that's my favorite
1:17
record or whatever. So, speaking of
1:19
records, you got a new record out called
1:22
All Right. Yeah. Yeah. All Right.
1:24
featuring my daughter right here, Baby
1:25
Truth and Lra and Lraate now. Yeah.
1:27
Yeah. Got a few new records out, you
1:29
know, just all leading up to the album.
1:31
All leading up to the album. Now, how
1:33
did you how did you link up with LRA? Uh
1:35
me and Lra always been close, you know,
1:37
for for a long time. And then, you know,
1:39
he's from the city. Okay. You know, I be
1:40
big on making sure we support um each
1:43
other, right? And uh the record I had
1:46
did the record originally. It was two
1:48
verses and it was just
1:52
you know just giving God his glory and
1:55
in my testimony and I felt like with it
1:59
being that and it can also be classified
2:02
in the
2:04
gospel realm in the sense it's like man
2:07
it was a perfect fit. So right nobody
2:09
was uncomfortable everybody was right
2:11
with the record. No, no, I listen to it
2:13
and and it's definitely it's definitely
2:15
soulful. Was definitely in the gospel
2:17
lane or whatever. Now, what what
2:18
triggered you to do that? Is was it
2:20
anything related to um what you went
2:22
through with your daughter and
2:23
everything? Yeah, that definitely that
2:25
and life. But I mean, you got to ask
2:27
yourself when situations get hard and
2:30
stressful, the more you pray, you know,
2:33
God will make it all right for you. Make
2:34
it all right. Right. So, it's just kind
2:36
of self-explanatory, you know? Right.
2:38
Okay. Now, speaking of gospel, um, we
2:41
recently had the BET Awards. Yeah, we
2:43
did. And shout out to Glorilla King
2:46
Franklin. Glorilla, she won for best
2:47
gospel artist. How being that I mean,
2:51
being that she's not really viewed as a
2:53
gospel artist and she won, what what's
2:54
your take on that on her winning that,
2:56
man? Anybody who know me know I really
2:58
don't have many takes on stuff that
3:00
ain't necessarily my business. Okay. Um,
3:03
if that record impacted a certain way
3:07
and it was based on that record, then I
3:10
guess I, you know, I get it. You know
3:11
what I'm saying? Um,
3:14
and that goes to show how powerful the
3:17
man up above is because in any sense if
3:21
it was her or just like the the record I
3:24
got with Ronda Adams, like my album's
3:26
not a gospel album. It's just I I'm I'm
3:29
giving God his glory in certain songs,
3:31
right? And if if God put it in position
3:33
for that to be recognized, you got to
3:35
appreciate it. You got to appreciate it.
3:36
No, that's a good that's a good
3:37
observation. That's Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
3:40
Yeah. So I my cuz I'm not going to sit
3:42
on here one. I don't speak people
3:44
business. But I'm speaking from a
3:46
hip-hop fan. We all fans of hip-hop. I
3:47
get it. But even then, you know, man, I
3:49
tend to stay in my lane. That's that's
3:50
why I am respected the way I because you
3:52
know a lot of times we jump out there
3:54
putting our opinions and we may not even
3:56
put everything in perspective and we
3:58
already made a judgment or whatever that
4:00
may be. But what I will say that just
4:04
show the power of the man up above
4:05
because she do have all kind of big
4:08
records but for her to be recognized for
4:10
that record can speak volumes. Speak
4:12
volumes. Right. No, that's a good. So,
4:14
shout out that's why I said before I
4:15
asked you that shout out to Glorilla
4:17
because any accomplishment in my
4:18
opinion, you know, you you're winning,
4:21
you know what I mean? You know, because
4:22
you don't know you don't know who your
4:23
music music is going to touch, you know
4:24
what I mean? Right. So, um I I agree
4:28
with that. Now, I was I was talking to
4:29
um Paul Wall, right? And and the reason
4:31
why I have so much love for Texas, man,
4:33
because he told me he said, "Yo, Texas
4:35
is so supportive of the the culture of
4:38
Texas is so supportive." He literally
4:39
told me if he wanted to, he does not
4:42
have to leave the state of Texas to make
4:43
a living or doing shows. You know what I
4:45
mean? That's that's been a test of time
4:48
forever since right Texas was coming in
4:52
the forefront was in the forefront and
4:54
how we spinning back around to be in the
4:55
forefront again. The thing is um
5:00
we come from that independent era,
5:02
right? To where you can go gold or
5:05
platinum just in Texas alone, right? And
5:08
um a lot of us created a hustle like no
5:11
other independently to where we didn't
5:14
need to leave. So it was always amazing
5:16
the other artists when they come down
5:19
and when they go to other cities they be
5:21
so so big and they'll be the ones with
5:24
with the money and the ones that
5:25
everybody like ah but then when they
5:28
come to where we from even with them
5:30
being big we just as big thing. You know
5:33
what I'm saying? Right. Well, the reason
5:35
why I say that because that I don't not
5:37
that you're taking it for granted. It's
5:38
not a big deal in Houston, but nobody in
5:40
New York, no artist in New York can only
5:42
do shows in New York and sustain a
5:43
living. That's why I say this. It's like
5:44
that's amazing to be able to do that
5:46
just in in your state where you from cuz
5:48
nobody can do that here. You know, I
5:50
live and die for for Texas, for Houston,
5:52
man. So, shout out to all the artists
5:55
doing their thing, man. Because it's so
5:57
many waves. You have the independent,
6:00
you have the major, right? You got to
6:02
think we got some of the biggest. Let's
6:04
just go when you start from acting.
6:06
People didn't even know one of the
6:07
biggest shows, Cosby Show. Felicia
6:09
Rashard from Houston, Houston, Texas.
6:11
Then you go artistwise. Beyonce is by
6:14
far the biggest artist in the world. In
6:16
the world. Gospel wise, Yolanda Adams by
6:18
far biggest in the world. Right now in
6:22
the younger generation, you got the
6:24
Travis's, you know, right? You got the
6:26
Megs. You know what I'm saying? You're
6:28
right. independently. You got so many of
6:30
us that's just so right. There's no way
6:33
around it. When you when you speak in
6:34
Houston, the culture definitely
6:37
we impact the culture by far the most.
6:39
Right. And and and you definitely have
6:41
done that because your influence has
6:43
spilled over into other people's
6:44
mimicking Houston sound the chopping.
6:48
Yeah. And you know, I don't even want to
6:49
get on here and say it's mimicking.
6:50
Sometimes, you know, it's a lot of
6:51
people that pay homage. Yeah. Yeah. Pay
6:53
Let me let me let me let me rephrase my
6:55
words. Yeah. Yeah. And you know what's
6:57
crazy? feel like people don't understand
6:58
how important and how strong we are with
7:00
the culture because
7:02
when you go to think of trap soul that's
7:05
all came from DJ Screw because we would
7:08
slow down or R&B songs and then when you
7:12
hear these songs and you may hear a
7:14
quick something slowed in the song as
7:17
far as vocals or something all that
7:19
sample stuff comes from from how we do
7:21
our thing Houston Texas yeah right again
7:24
like me I'm a student of the game I'm
7:26
from New York But I'm a student of the
7:28
game like the culture of music in
7:30
different in different areas. So you
7:32
know like I know about Big Mo, Big
7:34
Pokey, Big Can we pause one second? Is
7:36
that possible? Cuz I don't miss the
7:38
disappoint. That was fake and little
7:41
C's. Wow. Wow. Family. So what was I
7:46
saying? So yeah, I was saying that um
7:48
the um the whole screwed up click. Um
7:53
Michael Watts,
7:55
Big Hog. Yeah. Big mole. Yeah, man. We
7:59
got a lot of trade the truth. Yeah. You
8:01
know what I mean? Scarface. I mean,
8:03
Houston is Paul Wall. It's like it's
8:07
incredible. I always said Houston, I put
8:09
it's there's a there's a couple cities
8:10
that say the home of the spitters.
8:11
Obviously, New York is one of them. New
8:13
York is the home of the spitters.
8:14
Detroit is the home of the spitters.
8:16
Detroit. Detroit. Hands down. We already
8:18
know who from Detroit. If you don't
8:19
know, then you don't need to be on this
8:21
channel. Yeah. Yeah. And Houston, Texas.
8:23
specifically Houston te Texas is the
8:25
home of the spitters. You know what I
8:27
mean? Yeah. Yeah. Like where did you
8:29
develop your love for hip-hop? Do you
8:31
remember the first time? Do you remember
8:32
your first hip-hop record that made you
8:34
even want to get involved with hip-hop
8:35
or the first time you were exposed to
8:37
it? I I don't know. You know, my my my
8:39
father was a diehard fan of gangster
8:43
rap. every back then albums used to come
8:46
out I believe on Tuesdays and every
8:50
weekend we would pull up the Sound Waves
8:51
of Sam Gooden he'd be getting the newest
8:54
stuff you know right and you know man I
8:56
can go back to
8:59
I was just always the fan of music you
9:00
know my mom used to sing so you know
9:02
whether it been R&B or rap I can't tell
9:05
you exactly what the first first was but
9:09
I've always been one of them dieh hard
9:12
fans And crazy or not, um,
9:16
one of my other biggest markets outside
9:18
of Houston was New York. New York. I was
9:21
one of the ones that can hold my own.
9:23
You know what I'm saying? So, if you
9:24
notice, I have a lot of music with with
9:27
with people on the East Coast for sure.
9:30
Right. Yeah. You you you um you rock
9:32
with my So, I don't know if you
9:34
remember. So, I had linked you and Ray
9:37
Korn from Wuang Clan. That's my brother.
9:38
I just talked to him the other day.
9:39
Yeah. I DJ for him. And I when he when
9:41
he moved to Dallas, he was asking me for
9:42
your number and I had that's I have my
9:45
brother cuz they just came through
9:46
Houston, you know, all of my brothers.
9:48
So yeah. So I've been running I've been
9:50
DJing for Ray for like 20 years. You
9:52
know what I mean? So that's that's my
9:52
brother. Shout out Ray. Shout out the
9:54
whole Yeah. Shout out the whole Woo or
9:55
whatever. But um I say all that to say
9:57
like I'm I'm I'm into like I still got
9:59
records with Ray. They ain't came out
10:00
yet. I know this. Listen, I know this.
10:03
Yeah. I know this. So I got man in my
10:06
phone.
10:08
No lie. I'mma let you do it on camera.
10:10
That way we ain't we do no lying. Like a
10:14
lot of people say I'm probably by far
10:16
the most
10:18
hardest working when it come to having
10:22
records. Records. So I'mma show you a
10:24
folder of unreleased music. This
10:26
exclusive right here. This the number.
10:31
Wow.
10:33
Damn. I have records with That's
10:35
unreleased. these records with every if
10:38
I decide to stop rapping it would be
10:40
decades and decades of music. So, let me
10:42
just tell you from what I the number I
10:44
just saw, you see how Tupac been putting
10:45
out records for 30 years. Oh yeah. Yeah.
10:47
He'll do 100 plus. When he when he when
10:50
he leave this earth, he going to have
10:51
like a 100 albums after that. You know
10:53
what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Tupac is at 30.
10:56
He'll do a hundred. This is how many
10:57
records he has out. That's crazy. Yeah.
10:59
And then, you know, the good thing is
11:01
it's timeless music. So it's not like it
11:03
had to come out right then and there. It
11:05
can always come out and still feel good.
11:08
Even even when we get a new album, a lot
11:09
of people don't understand when we get
11:10
music or a new album, we don't know when
11:12
they recorded that. It's new to us. You
11:14
know what I mean? So music is only new
11:16
when you haven't heard it. You know what
11:17
I mean? It's no such thing as an old
11:18
song. If you never heard it, it's new.
11:20
Yeah. You know what I mean? So I'm sure
11:21
you put out stuff in on an album or on a
11:23
record that you probably recorded years
11:25
ago or maybe the day before the day
11:27
before yesterday. Does you know what I
11:28
mean? It just it it's just it does it
11:30
coincide with what's going on, you know,
11:32
when you put it out. You know what I
11:34
mean? A lot of that stuff has to connect
11:35
or whatever. So, yo, tell me about um
11:38
because I obviously I never met DJ
11:39
Screw, but um tell me about DJ Screw.
11:41
How did you how did you meet DJ Screw?
11:43
Oh, man. I met Screw. I probably was
11:46
maybe
11:50
16. Okay. 15 or 16, somewhere around
11:52
that. And um we started um my first time
11:57
being heard on the screw tape. I
11:59
probably was 19. 19. Um I was part of uh
12:05
a group Gorilla Mob. And Screw really
12:08
introduced us to
12:11
that was our form of radio. He
12:12
introduced us to the streets and just
12:14
the city because when people hear the
12:16
songs, they'd be like, "Man, that's
12:17
jamming. Who is that?" Right? And then
12:19
you know the wave got to getting around.
12:21
Oh, that's who that is. You know what
12:23
I'm saying? And it worked. But as a
12:25
person, that's just that was genuinely
12:27
my partner, my my brother, my friend.
12:30
Um,
12:32
at times, you know, when you can
12:35
be discouraged being an artist, just
12:37
discouraged with life in general, man.
12:39
He would always be there to support. You
12:42
know what I'm saying? And then at
12:44
moments when I was going through
12:45
situations, you know, it'd be late
12:47
nights, he'd pull up to holl at me and
12:50
my little brother Jayton. Like he it' be
12:53
different stuff, but he definitely um he
12:56
definitely was one of my close bros. And
12:59
people don't know before he passed, you
13:02
know, he was doing his label thing and
13:04
we actually was supposed to be signing
13:07
to him. You know what I'm saying? That
13:08
would have been a that would have been
13:10
an honor. But, you know, the the the
13:12
good thing is I make sure every chance I
13:15
get, I make sure we keep that that
13:17
legacy going, you know, just as well as
13:19
everybody else. But on my behalf, I you
13:21
know, I let it be known and it's going
13:22
to forever be that. I mean, they
13:24
nickname Houston, Texas. Screw Texas.
13:26
You know what I mean? I hear it all the
13:27
time. Screw Texas. You know? Yeah. I
13:29
remember, man. I remember Screw came out
13:31
here. People don't understand like it
13:33
was a um I forget what year it was. It
13:35
was a DJ battle. He ended up winning. He
13:37
came back with a ring. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
13:39
You know what I'm saying? So people
13:40
understand he was a real he real DJ real
13:43
DJ right right creative creative on top
13:45
of that like a lot of people could be
13:47
real but he was and can rap you know he
13:48
didn't I didn't know he could rap that I
13:50
didn't know he didn't he didn't rap much
13:51
but when he raped you got you got you
13:53
but in that folder I just saw n no no no
13:56
I wish I wish I just know the few time
13:59
he did the few times he did it's no way
14:02
of denying his the whole city know it
14:04
you know what I'm saying so right now
14:06
let's talk about your um community
14:07
efforts like how's that
14:10
I mean, I'm I'm working at all times.
14:11
Literally pulling up here, I was on the
14:14
phone doing what I could do, making sure
14:16
um
14:18
me and uh Matthew 25 ministries and be
14:21
good, you know, I was out there helping
14:23
with the tornadoes in St. Louis. So, I
14:26
got a 18-wheeler going out there with
14:28
more supplies for all the families. Um,
14:31
you know, I just did recently, shout out
14:33
to the Source LA, Brandon Lamar. Um, we
14:36
did the fires in LA. So it's like I'm
14:38
I'm always working man. And then trade
14:41
day coming up and that's day let's talk
14:42
about trade day. Let's talk about it.
14:44
That's focused on the whole community of
14:45
Houston. So the thing now is like
14:48
I've outgrown just Houston. So now when
14:51
disasters hit all around they calling
14:54
for me, you know, to assist. Now have
14:57
they gave you the key to the city yet? I
14:58

15:06
even knew, right? Like they have a a
15:09
certain belt belt buckle that comes. I
15:12
got all kind of different stuff. I think
15:14
at this point it ain't really many
15:16
awards. It ain't nothing Houston can do
15:18
for me as far as awardwise no more. Let
15:20
me do that cuz I I like people see far
15:22
too often people get things named after
15:24
them or murals after we're gone. I say
15:27
people need to see that while they're
15:29
still living. Oh yeah, man. It's a
15:30
blessing. I got seven holidays in
15:32
Houston. Okay. And one in Milwaukee.
15:35
So, shout out Milwaukee to my family out
15:38
there. Hey, this is royalty, man. This
15:40
is Texas royalty right here, man. Yeah.
15:42
Yeah. But the thing is, it's not just
15:44
me, you know, like I feel like when I
15:46
win, we all win. You know, anybody who
15:48
came from this lifestyle, I feel like
15:50
it's a win for us all because it wasn't
15:52
designed for somebody that look like me,
15:55
that come from where I come from, that
15:56
even do what I do to be recognized
15:59
throughout the world and accomplish a
16:01
lot of things that people wouldn't
16:03
expect us to accomplish, right? Okay.
16:06
Like musically, who influenced you you
16:09
like to right now like like where do you
16:10
draw your inspiration from to get to do
16:12
music artist wise right now? Life. Life.
16:16
Okay, just just living life, you know,
16:18
cuz that's that's how I get my music
16:19
off. Um, when I started, I was rapping
16:22
behind my older brother, Dinky. And um I
16:25
used to recite his raps, you know, he
16:27
would send him home from jail and then,
16:30
you know, I learned them and kicking and
16:31
then it led to me doing my own thing.
16:33
And um now being one of the greats cuz
16:37
when you think about it, I've been in
16:39
the game, man, doing music with probably
16:44
almost 30 years. And you got to think
16:46
I've had music from the youngest to all
16:51
the way up. Like you got to think from
16:53
back in the day being the young and
16:55
having
16:57
being on songs all the way from a coogi
16:59
rap to to one of the albums had Pac to
17:03
all the way to the youngest of the
17:05
youngest now. You know what I'm saying?
17:07
So I I've been blessed to be able to
17:09
maneuver and be in the game this long.
17:13
Or or do you feel intimidated to get on
17:15
like you know they say like like one of
17:16
your say one of your idols like whoever
17:18
your idols were you were you ever
17:20
intimidated to work with them like No
17:22
I'm never intimidated to work with
17:23
anybody because I'm up for that
17:26
challenge. It's like it's damn like
17:28
sparring in a sense you know you got to
17:31
be able to hold your own right. And um
17:33
I've always been blessed to do that
17:34
because
17:36
I can go from rapping to singing to
17:39
rapping fast to whatever to just being
17:41
lyrical punchline like. So I've been
17:43
able to do it all and it's been a
17:45
blessing. Right. So let's let's play a
17:47
hypothetical game real quick and because
17:49
let's say yo Trey, I got this record,
17:50
right? I'mma produce a record. You could
17:52
put any artist on this record. So it's
17:54
hypothetical, but the artist could be
17:55
dead or alive from any era in any genre
17:58
of music. Don't have to don't have to be
18:00
hip-hop. It could be Calypso, Country
18:01
Soul, Dance Hall, Reggae, Salsa, Trap,
18:05
whatever. But it could only be one
18:07
artist, dead or alive, from any era in
18:10
any genre. Who would you do a song with?
18:13
You say one artist, one artist, dead or
18:15
alive, because we talking hypothetical,
18:16
dead or alive from any era in any genre
18:19
of music. Who would you do a song with?
18:22
I would say just because
18:26
I rep Houston to the fullest, um I would
18:29
definitely say screw just just because I
18:32
got to stand for our culture, right? Um,
18:36
let's just say if I decided to do a
18:40
a powerhouse record with a with a few of
18:43
us
18:47
I would how see I'm able to put records
18:50
together that people never could
18:52
imagine. You know, I and Jada kiss and
18:54
if you ever seen he'll tell you all the
18:57
time um Jada and Ross and Jeezy and them
19:00
they'll tell you that I probably got one
19:02
of the craziest ears when it come right
19:05
to track selections and stuff like that.
19:07
And I've been blessed to know when I
19:09
hear a track I can instantly hear who go
19:10
on that track. You know what I'm saying?
19:12
So a lot of times people don't
19:13
understand I can actually put records
19:15
together. You know what I'm saying?
19:16
Okay. But um if I had a powerhouse
19:22
I would I would tend to want to mix some
19:26
stuff like
19:28
I would have brought Michael Jackson to
19:30
doing that's the number one up here.
19:32
Yeah. I would I would I would have him
19:33
doing something. I would take him back
19:36
to his
19:38
Gary Indiana days. You know what I'm
19:40
saying?
19:41
Imagine mixing him in with with Pac with
19:46
um of course my brother Nipy. We even
19:49
though we got a lot of records just to
19:52
to to bring it back. I would I would
19:56
blend in and mix even down the big I
19:58
would blend in and mix so much and I
20:00
just make cuz if you familiar I got the
20:02
Ammon series and I'm able to put 10 12
20:05
artists on there and create something
20:06
crazy. So what would you call that song
20:08
with your with those artists you just
20:09
name? Give me a title off the top of
20:12
your head. I don't know. It may it may
20:14
it may just be some reality pain type
20:16
music. You know, it just it it just all
20:18
depends. But it for sure it wouldn't
20:22
have came out no less than classic. You
20:25
know what I'm saying? I I you know, I'm
20:26
a perfectionist when it come to that.
20:27
Okay. Now, let's talk let's talk car c
20:30
car culture. So, I don't know if you
20:31
ever heard of um the car club here
20:33
called the BBS boys. I'm not sure if
20:34
you're familiar with the old school.
20:35
Yeah. When I did the um the car shows
20:38
with Envy. Envy. Yeah. So, I'm the owner
20:40
of that. That's that's that's my
20:41
company. Yeah. It's me and my partner
20:42
Rich. We run that. And shout out to Envy
20:44
cuz we um we doing um y'all did a car
20:46
show in Houston together. So we're doing
20:48
a car show and we need to do another
20:50
one, man. I told Envy cuz I feel like
20:52
you know I I believe in what Envy doing
20:54
and I know he he really loves cars and
20:58
you know it's big for the the the
21:00
community anyway with that's the other
21:02
aspect of it. So definitely hopefully at
21:05
some point get to doing that again. No,
21:06
we definitely going to do that cuz we we
21:08
have um car show BBS boys DJ Envy um
21:11
August 16th. Yeah. And um in I'm sorry,
21:13
July 19th in Hampton, Virginia. Oh, you
21:16
know that's trade day weekend. Oh, see.
21:17
Damn. Yeah. And then but but then the
21:20
following month, August the 16th,
21:22
Saturday, we we here in New York. Okay.
21:24
So, if you if you know what I mean, pull
21:25
up if we going to get out there to
21:27
Houston to get a get another one cuz he
21:29
he told me that was his biggest win.
21:31
Houston City. Yeah. I got to I got to
21:33
get him get him back out there, man. Get
21:35
him motivated just as a brother. But
21:37
yeah. Right. Now, listen. So I said I
21:38
want to talk car culture like the cars
21:40
like so the cars here we do the BBS we
21:42
do the BBS's you know the Europeans that
21:45
eat the Benzes you know things like that
21:48
the BMWs Texas y'all do the you'll do
21:50
the the slabs or whatever you know what
21:52
I mean things that the candy candy paint
21:55
like the swingers wheels yeah the fifth
21:57
wheel right do you remember when I
21:59
started from your from from that was
22:01
before our time from your discover you
22:02
know what I'm saying but when did you
22:03
discover do you remember your first lab
22:05
you saw no I I like I say it before
22:08
before our time when you go talk about
22:10
the the real gangsters of Houston like
22:13
it was you could be on the sale of
22:15
swingers and like people was dying
22:17
behind them back then you know um but no
22:20
that was before that before my time but
22:23
just watch my brother was one of them
22:25
slab heads wanted to take the whole
22:27
backseat out and just have a dome from
22:30
there to the trunk with music right on
22:32
swinger so definitely with that um
22:36
definitely with that it's like
22:39
my first time. I don't know cuz I I I've
22:42
I've been introduced to the street
22:43
family my whole life just through my
22:45
brother and everybody else. So, right.
22:47
Yeah. But right that was it like in
22:50
Houston for those who who come from
22:54
where we come from that's really into
22:56
the Houston and the culture. You feel
22:58
like you didn't even make it till you
23:00
was able to ride slabs to ride slabs.
23:02
Right. Yeah. All right. I I feel that.
23:03
So, another record I like by you had a
23:06
verse on it. Paul Wall swinging in the
23:08
ring, the remix. And you said something
23:10
about you you still knocking pictures
23:12
off the wall.
23:14
Robert Davis is what my sound is like.
23:16
You remember that verse from it was
23:17
called Paul Wall Swinging in the Rain.
23:19
It's the remix. It's it's uh it's Lil
23:20
Kiki. You and Staly if I'm not mistaken.
23:25
It's um it's called Swinging in the
23:27
Rain. It's Paul Wall. No, I don't know
23:28
if I'm on that. No, you're on that
23:29
record. You're on that. No, I'm sorry.
23:31
Yeah, it's a remix to um You see me? No,
23:35
I'm sorry. It's the remix to um with
23:36
with Stallley the um yeah it was Stal
23:40
I'm sorry I got I got it confused
23:41
Stallley's um yeah what's it called
23:44
Swing? What what the hell is this record
23:45
called? I'm not sure what the record was
23:46
but I remember you see me swing and
23:49
whatever. Yeah, that that record the
23:51
remix of that when you was like I'm
23:52
still knocking pictures off the wall
23:54
like the bass in that was cuz the beat
23:57
switched up to you referencing knocking
23:59
pictures off the wall. So the 808 was
24:01
like it was just crazy. So you really
24:03
you really capture the you know you
24:04
really capture the essence of Houston
24:06
when you rap. Like you paint pictures. I
24:08
see it. I mean but um what I do want to
24:11
say is
24:13
Angel is going to be something different
24:15
man. This is probably one of my prized
24:17
possession albums only because I went
24:19
through so much and I think the climate
24:21
of what everybody feeling and dealing
24:23
with. I think this is going to touch
24:25
close to home. Okay. You got like it's
24:27
real big records on there. You know what
24:29
I'm saying? And it's like I'm still able
24:31
to do me, still able to uplift God in
24:35
certain records, right? And still able
24:36
to just convey my pain, you know, but
24:39
make dope classic records like, you
24:42
know, it's a a record on there called
24:43
Amen with Dave Chappelle. That's super
24:45
big. Like it's it's a lot of stuff on
24:47
there, man. So when can we expect that?
24:49
The the project the album July 3rd on my
24:51

25:16

25:22
yeah, he told me I need to do vinyl. No,
25:24

25:26
mean limited edition vinyl. You know
25:28
what I mean? Like colorcoded, whatever.
25:30
Like collector's item. You know what I
25:32
mean? That'll, you know, I mean, that'll
25:33
be dope. Like Rick just did that. He
25:34
just put an album out. He did limited
25:36
vinyl or whatever. So, listen, man. I
25:38

26:10
you know. Um just tap in, man. Tap in.
26:13
It'll all work out. Real quick, any
26:15
acting coming up? Any movies? Any
26:16
movies? I got a movie out on uh Tuby
26:19
right now called Soul. Okay. The cartoon
26:21
movie Trey. And uh we working on new
26:24
stuff now. Okay. Um, so we doing a
26:27
little bit of everything. Plus, you
26:28
know, my daughter feel like she missed
26:31
out the first movie, so she won her. She
26:33

26:34
take over. I'mma put I'mma put together
26:36
something so we can give her her
26:38
opportunity to do her thing. So, real
26:39
quick, y'all got KD. We We going We
26:41
getting a chip this year. What we doing?
26:43
What the Rock is doing this year? And
26:45
shout out KD. That's my brother, right?
26:47
Um, I I believe if they find a way to
26:49
mesh well, right, it'd be all right cuz
26:51
we already had
26:53
even before KD, I felt like we just had
26:56
a younger team, but they definitely was
26:58
on their way, right? But now with him,
27:00
if they end up meshing a certain way,
27:02
right, then we definitely Well, they say
27:04
that y'all just needed a closer. KD's
27:06
definitely a closer, you know, I mean,
27:07
in a big situation. So, we'll we'll see.
27:08
Yeah, because you know, you got, man,
27:10
you got all them over there, man. Stars,
27:13
right? Um,
27:15
hey, man. You got uh Jabari, you got Van
27:18
Fleet, Sangun. I mean, it's so many of
27:22
them over there that Yeah, we'll see
27:24
what happens. You know, I I never get
27:25
caught in the super teams because I
27:26
don't always correlate to a champion.
27:28
Well, you know, at this point, I think
27:29
it's mandatory super team. It ain't It's
27:32
even though it's not like the old days
27:33
when
27:35
who don't got a super team right now at
27:37
this point. So, it's like, well, OKC
27:38
really don't have a super team. OKC,
27:40
they just want to shoot. No, they don't.
27:42
That's not really a super man between
27:44
SGA. Yeah, no kid a superstar. But but
27:47
no, all all of them are stars in their
27:50
own, right? They own right. I'll say
27:52
this. So when Katie when Katie was here
27:54
in Brooklyn, you had KD, Kyrie, James
27:57
Harden, Blake Griffin, and it still got
27:59
knocked out the first round. But what
28:01
happens is
28:03
sometimes it can be too super of a team
28:06
because you don't know who's who who's
28:09
the role who what role the leader. Yeah,
28:11
the leader, right? You know what I'm
28:12
saying? People don't know their roles.
28:13
That's why that's my key word. if they
28:14
mesh together a certain way, right?
28:16
Okay, fair enough. Be perfect. You know
28:18
what I'm saying? All right. So, yo, man,
28:20
thank you for coming out, man. Speaking
28:21
of that, man, shout out uh shout out my
28:23
bro Jason Tatum, man. Jason Tat. Oh,
28:25

28:30

28:34
That's one of the bros, man. I'm Dame

28:56
speak with Tatum um time to time. Like I
28:59
told him, man, you know, it's just a a
29:02
minor setback, man. God got ways of
29:04
doing things and his comeback story may
29:07
be even even crazier. You know what I'm
29:10
saying? Cuz he's a star, period. No,
29:11
he's a super. He's a mega star. He's a
29:14
franchise player. He might be the face
29:16
of the league besides him and Anthony,
29:18
man. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.
29:20
So, definitely, man. So, shout out to
29:22
