London Brown 0:55

me in the platinum school.

Appreciate it, brother. Thank

Unknown 1:33

you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Es$O 1:35

yeah. Yeah, niggas told me you rap. I thank you. Niggas told me you

London Brown 1:42

were rapping. I mean, I played an actor. I had a character who did rap. So, you black, you niggas going to rap. Niggas thought

Es$O 1:51

you was going on the radar when you left here today. Niggas told me you were rapping.

London Brown 1:56

I don't rap like that. I know niggas that really rap. DNA. Shout out to DNA. Them rappers. I don't rap.

Es$O 2:04

Yo, so you've been doing this for a while. What was the football show that you was on?

London Brown 2:10

Because that's when I first

Es$O 2:11

saw you. That was Ballers with Dwayne Johnson. Ballers, yeah. Oh, that was a great one.

London Brown 2:16

With the Rock. The

Es$O 2:17

Rashard Mendenhall joint. I think he did the story behind that. But yeah, how did you get that role? And was that your first role?

London Brown 2:24

So that was actually like my second TV series. I did the first one called The Hustle, where I played a Brooklyn rapper on there with my guy, Alon Noel. He's the dark-skinned guy who's on the show right now called Nemesis. So anyway, he and I, we started over there. And then Ballers came. I didn't know. Someone was looking for me. I guess HBO was looking for me, so I got a call from comedian and showrunner Chris Spencer. He said, yo... Oh,

Es$O 2:53

Chris Spencer.

London Brown 2:53

Yeah, he said, can I pass on your information? I was like, bet, because I didn't have an agent or a manager at the time. So I went and auditioned. It took about two months, but then... And God worked that out, man, because I handle agent on manager, so I don't even really know how they knew how to really find me. I guess through Chris, because I do stand up. So I think Chris was able to have a line on me, so it worked out that way. That was cool. I mean, that was a cool show, man. That show got me some bills paid, man. I ain't going to lie. It helped me out. Rob Markman That was one of the first... Real checks you was getting in Hollywood? Yeah, that was a nice little check. And then also we shot that in Miami, so it was just another life.

London Brown 3:40

How many seasons you was on? I did all five. So what was that first

Es$O 3:46

check? Because he was the homeboy, the football player's man

London Brown 3:51

that was

Es$O 3:52

always trying to get into some shit, like trying to get some money, trying to do some shit, trying to prove himself type of thing.

London Brown 3:57

And to your question with the check, Man, this is how broke I was. I had to ask, I had to borrow, I had to get my check in advance just to live. Because we had to move to Miami. So just to function, I was like, man, I need y'all to let me hold a little something. Pause, let me work this out. What's

Es$O 4:14

a little something in the movie world?

London Brown 4:17

No, really, what I was saying is just a few grand. Just to, you know, pay rent, figure this out. Just a little bit. But it was, that's a good, that was a good little check, man. That was good exposure.
