Thank you. This is a question I never get asked because this is like a throw-throw back. Because I know the tipping point moment, like what Malcolm Gladwell would say was my moment, was a song called Save Me. Sure.

But I know what's my moment. Because we know our moment before everybody else does, right? Yeah. Like, as an artist. Like, we know a moment that's like, y'all might not have seen it then, but something in me triggered, like, I got something here. Yeah, yeah. I came home, and my buddy had bought a flip cam from Best Buy. His name's Chad Arms.

And he was like, hey, man, they got this new thing called YouTube that came out since you've been incarcerated. It was like, it's kind of like Facebook, but only for videos. I was like, fire. He was like, yeah, but you got to go to a laptop, right? So he turns on a beat, and I just got out of jail. He's like, yo, just start rapping or something. I'll cut it up later.

And I put out this thing called a 10-minute freestyle. It got taken down later because I said something about my parole officer and got in trouble. But I'm just like, you know, I'm a young kid out of jail, so I'm just talking shit, rapping. And he put it on YouTube. And at the time, it was called the 10-Minute Freestyle. And I won't make y'all do the quiz. I normally go pop quiz.

Why was it called the 10-Minute Freestyle? And it's because at the time, YouTube wouldn't let you upload a video longer than 10 minutes. That was the YouTube ban, which was 10-minute, 21-second videos. And at the time, they called it viral because it got like 40,000 views. This is baby YouTube infancy. So I was like, this is it.

That's it. That's powerful. It was easier when people knew you. Like in y'all's world, maybe like school theater. It's like, yeah, of course, you know, but like when you had to go do it at another high school, it's like, whoa, I might be onto something. I'm not a big hit here.

Man, I'll tell you how lucky I got, and I think y'all got lucky like this too, is that nobody's seen what was happening until it kind of happened. So by the time the labels were calling, I was making seven figures a year off my YouTube. Oh, wow. You know what I mean? So by the time they call, it's just like, then they call like, hey, we'll give you a million dollars. I was like, I made that.
