Like, you can't tell me luck doesn't play a little bit of it.

I think luck and timing are huge.

Yeah, luck, timing, and then you also need talent and self-awareness.

But, dude, that luck and timing, that universe's kiss, you need it.

I mean, bro, I came into the scene with no love.

My best friends not showing any love on music, people not sharing my shit at all.

So I had to deal with a lot of, and that's why it's like you have to be in love with yourself and be like, that delusion comes in, but I'm very self-aware.

I know my music's lit, right?

But it's like if they don't show the love, a lot of people will confuse that with, oh, maybe my music's just not good.

But people don't want to see you like especially people you grew up with right?

They're like, oh this guy, you know, he's you know They just look at you as that fucking goofy kid really, you know Like and I feel like all of us and it's it's you have to get through that heartbreak, right?

But it's to the point where now everyone's sharing my music all of my friends like do people I don't even talk to like they'll post it in their reel just like doing their own shit playing Ilya in the back and I think it's a really good feeling as an artist, but it's like damn

took so long just just for and i'm just getting started it just took so long to get to the ground level you know so it's like i definitely relate i feel with entertainers a lot of them are misunderstood oh yeah and you deal with a lot of them too i'm sure you see you see like uh people in a very different point in their lives too you know a lot of them could and i feel like you almost have to be to be an artist yeah you got to be different see that too but then there's like that whole like

persona like how do i look like a dick like you know i'm saying like i have my sunglasses on right now i'd be like yeah man cool like yeah for sure yeah like cool it's just like what are we trying to get done here so it's like i think like because we've um we've glorified that like super mysterious not giving a shit yeah versus people that actually try and we give them shit for it that was a look at him he's trying yeah no that was definitely an error especially in rap with uh yeah
