I grew up in one of the most treacherous parts of the Bronx, bro.

Grew up in Harlem.

Back in your day, you had to have been a Decepticon.

You had to have been a Decepticon.

One glove.

When you in those neighborhoods where we all come from, it's easy to fall into bullshit if you don't know who you are.

For sure, for sure.

I think that we all have the, if you're mentally healthy enough, you know when you're doing something and it's wrong.

Your nervous system will be like, yo, that ain't for you.

I'm going to ask you this question, though, because I asked a lot of people coming up from that environment.

I always had those type of dialogues as I come up in, you know, growing up in D.C.

in the streets and all that and was active.

But I also understand that a lot of what I didn't have to go through was because of nepotism, because of who my people were.

Were you the beneficiary of that as well?

Of nepotism?

stayed away from in the streets not not you know I mean as far as like the actual definition of it but you know your brother being who he is and your people being who they are that benefits you at all and being able to stay away from a lot of the things you're able to stay away from it benefited me in the sense that my brothers you know when they was in the streets I was still very young but they never glorified that to an extent like they didn't like my brother might have punched me in my face if he knew some of the shit I was doing away from them mm-hmm

That's how, like, they never wanted me to even think about going that route.

It was dangerous, nigga.

Exactly.

It was the dangers of it.
