Chapter 1: Did Xtsy ever have substance abuse struggles?
Like it's an art. You gotta really know what you're doing finances wise. So now the decisions you make have to be more sober. You got more to lose. That word sober, I like being level-headed. You make better decisions. I have not asked one person who's come here yet and someone said no. So it's prevalent in the crowd that you frequent. My homegirl's name was Iza.
Chapter 2: How is Xtsy going to make his dreams and goals a reality?
C-O-D. I will do a shit. Rank 17. 17. I don't want to fall off the map like a lot of other artists have. I want to make something out of this, and I am making something out of this.
Chapter 3: How did Xtsy's first LA gig go, and how does he view artistry?
So, Xanax, thank you for showing up, man. I really appreciate it.
Chapter 4: Why is the saying 'more money, more problems' a fact?
You do Xanies?
Chapter 5: What epidemic has faced the underground rap scene?
Oh, you used to do Xanax. Yeah. I don't have the pills at all no more, though. That slimmed me up. I was really skinny. Dude, skinnier than you are now?
Chapter 6: What is Xtsy's experience with fentanyl, and why did it change his habits?
Yeah. That's bad, bro. The reason you're on this is because you know people who have died of...
Chapter 7: Why is Xtsy becoming business-minded at 19?
Yeah.
Chapter 8: What future goals does Xtsy have in addition to his music career?
Wow. That's just Spotify, though. That's not, like, everything. I don't know how much it is everything. I know it's way more than that on everything. But I know, like, specifically, like, it's, like, two mil a week on Spotify.
So... You're a big shot, dude, at 19. Like you've done it. Like you're right there. Do you know what a J curve is in business? It's like you're putting money into it. You're putting money into it. Okay, you're starting to break even and then you blow up. You're right there on the J curve. You've already done this and you're right here. You're about to blow up, man. I appreciate that.
No, it's a fact. Here, you want to know how you can make it a reality? For sure. Thank God in advance. Close your eyes. I want you to visualize this. We're going to go through a visualization, okay? You're there on stage. You walk in and there's 50,000 people. You're in Dodger Stadium and it's packed to the gills. The last person that played there was Lady Gaga. And you're following her.
And you come out and all this smoke comes out and you walk through the smoke and you just do it. And everybody loses their mind. And then you're done with that. You ain't going to do the party thing because you're not about that. And you got other places to go. You got things to do. You got your next show. Okay.
And you just finished your set here in LA and you're on your way to Madison Square Garden and then you're going to work your way back. So you leave this place, but this is the way you leave. This way a big shot leaves. You're right there in downtown. So they take you. Wow, they take you to this building, right, with a helicopter pad.
And you get out, you get on the helicopter, and they take you right to Santa Monica Airport where you get on your own private jet. And you go, you land right there at the private airport right there where a car is waiting for you. And they go, Mr. Xanax, let me take your bags. as if you were carrying the bags in the first place, right? And then you go right to the hotel, okay?
And you're there at the Four Seasons on the top floor, right? Waiting to go to Madison Square Garden the next day, the next morning for practice. And then you're going to rock that show too. That's your future if you work for it. And if you thank God in advance. And if you cut off any other possibility. And the reason is, is because you're 19 damn years old.
Which means you don't know what you can't do yet. So don't let anybody tell you what you can't do because you can do anything you want to do. as long as you're not doing that stupid Xanax.
I appreciate that, bro. And also, my name is Ecstasy, not Xanax. And I don't... I know it's funny.
