That's why I blew up at the time, because of the music. It was going crazy. They like to see the rowdiness, the flashiness. All of my cousins was in the streets, but, you know, my grandmother didn't want that for me, so my mom had me at 15. So young. Your grandparents proud of you? My grandmother was who raised me. She let me drop out when I was 16 and bought me a studio.
She believed in me since the beginning. My grandfather invested everything that I needed at the time, and I still chose the streets. It's becoming hard to kick the cup. How long have you been doing it? Heavy since about 2022. You want to start doing it? Yeah.
Please don't do drugs, kids. I'm telling you because of experience. What I've been through and what I've seen, it can be less than a year and somebody can be completely gone. Never come back.
It all started, you know what I'm saying? I'm from Maryland, Prince George's County, Maryland. And I'm from a hood around here. It's called Brycey Road. It's in a city called Landover. So my upbringing, you know, I seen a lot. You know, my grandfather was in the streets. My cousins, all of my cousins was in the streets. But, you know, my grandmother didn't want that for me.
So she's kind of shifting me away. My mom had me at 15 or 15 or 16. So she is so young. She was so young. And, you know, my grandmother took legal guardianship over me. So I was with her and her and my grandfather raised me.
You know, she was young, so she was around. You know what I'm saying? Like, she... I say for her being the age that she was, she definitely was trying. But wait, hold on a second.
Maybe due to being rebellious. She was with me for a while, but she wanted to be outside, do her thing. She's enjoying her teenage years. Are you close with your mom now?
They are. My grandmother was, you know, who raised me. She let me drop out when I was 16, actually, and bought me a studio for me to, you know what I'm saying, to do this. Because, you know, she believed in me since the beginning. My grandfather invested everything that I needed at the time.
And I still chose the streets, you know, because what I was surrounded by from my friends and things that I was doing, I was kind of always the leader, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, come with stuff like that. But, yeah, my grandparents are very proud of me. Are they still alive? Not my grandfather. He passed away in, he was what, 56? He passed away in 2020.
Leukemia, hair cell leukemia came back for him after being in remission for about like eight to 10 years. He was on life support at first. And it went away, then it came back, hit him like a rock. It only took him about like a month and a half or two to take him out. I'm sorry. Yeah. And how old are you? 24.
It did. Like, that was my dad. You know what I'm saying? Like. That's, I don't want to get emotional and all, but, you know.
Yeah, and that was my dad. He taught me how to move, you know, from what he was doing, even from back then, you know.
how to be sharp be on point to watch out for certain signs because he was in actively in the street so he was just telling me on what to look out for and never answer the door for any of my friends any of his friends no matter who it is you know make sure that you know coast is clear looking out for these type of people and even told me how to use my first firearm at such a young age you know what i'm saying but it was um
I took it and ran with it because it is in a more educational use. You know what I'm saying? Like, Hey, let's go hunting in the backyard. Um, let's go to this place 30 minutes away and go hunting, shooting, you know, at our aunt Shirley house. So she lived in, um, she had her own farm in Virginia. Shout out to you and Shirley. Yeah.
So she had her own farm in Virginia and we used to go up there and shoot all of that. Me and my cousins, you know, where's your dad? My dad in prison. He actually, within the same year, my grandfather passed away in, um, in May of 2020. You know, in March of 2020, right before and right after his birthday. Uh... This was... That's when he went to jail? No, that's my grandfather.
So my dad, he'd been locked up in and out all of my life. So he in one of the worst prisons in the world. He in Florence, Colorado. So it was about... If you don't know about Florence, you know it's only about like three to four hundred inmates. He told me that you have to have at least three to six months of consecutive good behavior to get a phone call. You know, so it's been...
that i seen with my dad you know i'm saying it really made me take a turn for i say the worst you know i'm saying it made me violent like he made me violent but um With the drug thing, that was always kind of going on.
Nah. Straight up, how to be violent. Like, me and my cousin... I'm sorry, bro. I'm sorry. Like, Like, he is, like, even my uncle, you know what I'm saying? Like, Craig, he rest in peace his soul as well, you know? We used to do shit in, like, the neighborhood, do things in the neighborhood.
Like, he'm like, man, go rob him with a hammer, like, and walk up behind a random civilian, put it on their neck. He's like, they ain't gonna know the difference because it's cold steel, you know? They don't know if it's a gun or what, you know? And I was doing that. Young age, I'm talking about, like, Maybe 12, 13, you know? So, I mean, I've always been smart, though.
I've always been, like, how can I say this? Like, well-spoken. Okay, so you're smart.
