All right, Mr. Blankenship. Today we are joined by one of the most influential Philly natives across music. I like that. Sports and entertainment. I like that. Your Philadelphia Eagles unofficial hype man, Gilly Da King.

443.173 - 464.668 Gillie Da King

I like that because a lot of people will be like, he's the mascot. And I'm like, what? Like, I'm not the mascot. Y'all take it a little too far. I don't want to take my guy's job, you know what I mean? But I appreciate y'all for having me, man. How'd you get the nickname, Gilly? I got it from, I was always Little Gilly in the hood of North Philadelphia.

464.908 - 491.753 Gillie Da King

I used to be Little Gilly from North Philly. But when I started rapping, I was always intrigued by this movie called Young Guns and Billy the Kid. He was a smooth-faced gangster that looked like he was young, but he really wasn't that young. And I was very intrigued by that, so I went with Gilly the Kid when I decided to start rapping. So it was Gilly the Kid. And then I grew up.

492.133 - 497.984 Gillie Da King

At some certain point in time, I had to become a man, you know what I mean? I figured I'd change it to the king.

498.004 - 500.726 Reed Blankenship

So what was it like growing up in Philly?
