What struggles with mental health does Lil Gnar discuss?
I'm signing Chief Keef, and he's executive producing my new project. I got a lot of features on that, too, but I don't want to give them all away yet. I've dealt with depression as well, too, though. For a long time, I was super unhappy. I'm actually so happy these days. I have a house and a little dog and a recording studio in my house so I can go downstairs and work, because me, I love to work.
How has Lil Gnar found happiness despite his past?

People go, like, downhill from drugs, just really spiral out and just let it kind of control their life, and you just see them start burning out. You know, you can do one thing one time and completely check out. So it's a little scary landscape now. I don't really get anxious or scared to do anything.
What is the impact of drugs on the rap industry?
I more so deal with maybe anxiety, wanting to do something and I can't. I'm not able to at the time. More like an impatient type of thing. And that'll kind of make me feel weird. I have to act like I like Boba because pretty girls like Boba. So I like Boba.

Is that new? Yeah, it's new. So nobody knows about it. No, not really. We just broke news. Yeah. The full details. Yeah. Right here. See, Lisa, you wanted breaking news. You just got it right out of the gate. All right. Yeah. So you're successful. Yeah, I'd say so. You want to be more successful? A thousand times. A thousand times, right? A thousand times. Okay. You want me to teach you the rule? Yeah. Okay. Show up. See, 80, 80, I think it's 80% of the people don't even show up. Yeah. You did great. You showed up, but show up on time. Right.

And then you're in the top 1%. Okay. Yeah. That's it. Show up, show up on time, show up on time with a plan and execute it. Yeah. There's like one or 2% of people that do all those things. Yeah. Now you're there. You are the one and you've got a ton of talent. Like everybody loves you. Yeah. Like I talked to kids in the last 24 hours. Yeah. And I told them you were coming. Yeah.
And they started to shake. Like I thought they were going to have a seizure. Yeah. Okay. So people love you. Yeah. All right. So let's talk about, uh, NAR. Yeah. So I saw something about a clothing line and it said narcotics. Yep. Okay. Yeah. I was looking at it. I'm like narcotics. That's, that's not cool. That's glorifying it. And then I saw it was NAR. Yeah. Cotics. And I'm like, well, how do you not do that? That was like perfect. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But I did see somewhere that, um what'd you do with the nitrous um oh i threw it away it was like i like uh it was a viral video actually because the galaxy guy was just getting so popular in atlanta with the young kids and so i did a video kind of just saying it wasn't cool and like just like opened it and like chucked it into a dumpster and it's kind of like blew up everywhere online well that's not bad dylan
That was pretty good. Yeah. Why'd you do that? Just to show kids, like, sometimes it's cool not to do what everybody doing. You know, like, I mean, nitrous is bad. Gallic gas is terrible for you. It fries your brain, you know. And so normally a rapper won't tell you to do it or it's cool or something. So I was like, I don't know, take a stance at least this one time and just throw it away.
