Like there was, if I had been maybe 24 in the same mindset as her, I probably would have, Because the chemistry me and this chick had was like, you know, I'm thankful that I have better chemistry with my girl than with now. But, you know, as far as that, that would have never lasted because she was on drugs. So that relationship never would have went anywhere.
19, done with her, sipping lean, if I'm going to be honest. I was sipping promethazine codeine around that time. I was drinking lean on my partners, you know? We were sipping lean and popping Xanax, you know? And you're making music then. And I'm making music then. I'm rapping at the Basement 818. Shout out to Basement 818 on Ventura Boulevard. Oh, I've driven past that.
I'm a freestyle champion, you know what I'm saying? That's a club. It was a paint store slash record shop. I sold paint and they used to host battles every last Sunday of the month. Really? So I would go out there with my big brother, Top Notch, and we would rip heads off. I'm known in the Valley for sure. Besides my eyes, I'm like an underground MC.
I'm an underground rap legend from the 818, San Fernando Valley. So if people didn't know me from my eyes, which caught on later, years later, but I was known for my lyricism.
Um, in my thirties, looking back on all the years I've smoked marijuana, um, I have no regrets on doing it, but I do it moderately. Now I don't, I don't smoke as much as I used to. I will smoke like an ounce every other day. We're smoking like big, like I'm, I'm calling it with my brother. He's has a big weed brand. Like, We smoke pounds. I smoke weed. But it's all in moderation.
You shouldn't stress the brain. I've been smoking for so long that at some point in time, you have to tell yourself when to stop. You got to take a break sometime. And that's part of that addiction. You know, weed is a very addictive drug. And it's not really that. It actually takes the back. It's not really the weed. It's the tobacco mostly for me because I split my weed.
So I'll say I'm more addicted to tobacco than I am smoking marijuana.
No, I'm a strong person. I'm strong minded. I've been through so much bullying. through my childhood that I've never ever got too strung out because at the same time I was, I've done drugs to escape certain situations, but I've seen it in my family firsthand. I've seen drug addicts in my family. I've seen what it does. It's two things, dead or in jail. I've seen that. I don't want to be dead.
I don't want to be in jail. It's a fine line. Pick one. So it's like it's moderation. I'm not going to sit here and let anybody say I've never done drugs before because I have. But am I a drug addict? Do I use drugs every day? No, I don't.
To a certain degree. How does that make you feel? I love it because everything's perception. You know, one of my favorite comments that I love seeing, I love, I pin it every time I see this comment is a grown man, by the way. And they're referring to, you know, my videos like this is a grown man doing this. And I love it because in the end, I'm a kid inside. I'm never going to grow up.
And if you've grown up already, well, that sucks for you. And I just I pray for you because growing up sucks.
It's OK, man. Just growing up sucks. It does. It does. But you can't let that be the end all. You know, we live. We came here not knowing we're going to leave not knowing. So just be that kid at all times. And keep that kid and you keep that kid alive. You can't want you. I feel like once you once that kid dies, you die. A secure man is cool with being underestimated. Right.
There's nothing out there, man. I figured as I lost my mom two years ago. Rest in peace. Teresa Jackson's tattoo I got on my face right here. It's my mother's name. I put a bunch of the reason I even have face tattoos because I told myself. I was like, when I first titled myself, I said, I'm never going to work a job again. I was working at Time Warner Cable. Oh, that's awesome.
I was making $100,000 a year in sales. I was living a good, chill life. I'm 27 years old. I'm making $100,000 in sales. I'm killing them. I got the gift for gab. You know what I'm saying? I'm on the phone. I'm killing their ass. All right. I'm killing them so bad that they don't want to bring me up in the bracket. They don't want to make me supervisor. They don't want to make me a manager.
They want to keep my ass right there on the phone. And I said, that's a problem. So I said, I can't work here anymore because I'm never going to own this business. I'm never going to be the owner here. I'm always going to be the yeah. So I tatted my face. I put my son's name. I have my son, Julius, back in 2004. And I tatted his name on the side of my face.
And I said, after this tattoo, I'm never going to work a job again. I tatted my son's name on my face. I literally made a video. Me and my buddies were sitting in the studio. And we're like, my boy's like, bro, he's like, you got all these talents, bro. You can rap. You're smart. You're this, you're that. But nobody knows you. He's like, you can pop your eyes out of your head, bro.
He's like, let's go viral tomorrow. Let's do something. He's like, put it on the internet. And I was self-conscious about my eyes. I was doing it. Like I said, I'm a legend in the Valley. Everybody knows a guy that pops his eyes out at raps, but they don't know me on the internet. So this day, we all go to the store. We make a video. And I'm like, tomorrow we're posting it. This is it.
We post the video in the morning. I wake up. It's a million views. I quit my job. And I've never worked a nine to five job since then. And then I continued to tat, you know, because I fell in love with the art. I got tats all over my body. It's covered. But the last tattoo I said I was going to put on my face was my mom's name. So that's the last one on my face.
Music that I have continued to drop. I'm finally in a dropping zone. Check my music out. It's on all streaming platforms at Chef Boy Bones. Continue to follow me on all social media platforms. The only handle that I have is at Chef Boy Bones. And I just want to encourage people, man, to stream. I want to encourage people to drop content.
I want to encourage that fellow content creator, that rapper that's looking at this podcast, is watching this right now, man, put your shit out there in the world because you never know who's going to like it. That circle that you have of 10 friends or 20 people in your circle, the world is bigger than that. And I never knew how big the world was until I posted and believed in myself.
