Full Episode
If you want to do music, if you want to do anything that you want to make a lot of money, if you don't know what to do with it, it won't last long. My father has been incarcerated my whole life. You know, as a man growing up in the world, you don't have that male role model to look up to and say, hey, this is what a dad looks like.
Not having certain things and growing up without it will teach you scarcity and teach you survival. But then just having it handed to you, you might be ungrateful. I just don't want to see these kids out here having their world controlled by a pill. I don't want to see them destroying more lives. Straight edge, no lean, nothing.
The level of consistency I had before this started, I did that being sober. So I made a name for myself being sober.
Young Bands. Yeah. How you doing, man? Doing good, man. Thanks for coming. Sure. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. You're the only guy who's walked in here from the underground rap scene that hasn't walked in smoking a joint. Yeah. You're the only one. Sure. And then somebody here offered you to smoke and you said no. Yeah. Why? Probation, can't smoke, so.
How long have you been on probation? For like five years. How much longer you got? Five more, five more to go. Really? Yeah. And you're not smoking or drinking or anything right now? Nothing, like nothing at all.
Maybe a drink here and there, you know, like the champagne.
But no, but no drugs at all? No drugs. Pills, powders, nothing.
No straight edge, no lean, nothing. Wow. Clear mind. You know what I'm saying? It's just better for you. You take that time away. You can be high and have a phase and get caught up in that cycle, but then once you do the work to get off, because it is work, withdrawals, the mental... things that leave in your mind. You know what I'm saying?
But after you make it past that, you realize being sober and just the natural energy is way better. You know what I'm saying? The thoughts, like you're more clear.
