I think can too. So I put out a post about that. I'm starting the podcast again. And then can he tagged you? I was like, who do I. Who do I bring on the podcast and can, too. He shouted. He. [00:00:38] Speaker B: Yeah, he told me to hit y'all up, like, I think, like, three months ago, and I was just busy. So, yeah, you hit me up at, like, the perfect time. And honestly, hell, yeah. [00:00:45] Speaker A: Yeah. And you were like, I got something going on. I don't know if I'm gonna make it. [00:00:48] Speaker B: I was like, I'm getting the weekend off. Thank God. [00:00:51] Speaker A: All right, right. Lucky, man. Yeah. Easter. Happy Easter, man. [00:00:56] Speaker B: Yeah, happy Easter for. [00:00:57] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome, man. Yeah. So what's. So what's going on, man? What's going on with you? [00:01:01] Speaker B: Not much. Just started this new job. I've been making a lot of music, keeping it on the back track, just deciding how I want to, like, structure it, how I want to put it out, you know? I mean, like, what song first? What song last? [00:01:13] Speaker A: On an album? [00:01:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm working towards the album, but I already have two out. So, like, I really want to drop some singles before I start dropping, like, songs from the album, you know what I mean? [00:01:23] Speaker A: Why is that? That's. That's. That's interesting to me because the last guest we had was saying, like, it would be her first album, and she'd been putting out singles, and she wanted to make sure that the album was. Was fire, you know what I mean? Because it's her first album. Yeah. Is there, like, a tactic that you use, like, all gotta do singles first before I do album? [00:01:41] Speaker B: No, like, when I first started off, I was like, I just want to album album out because. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:01:44] Speaker B: That's how I started listening to music. Like, I just, like, found out about people's albums, and I was like, I'm gonna go listen to those. So I thought that worked, but it. It got me a little attraction, but now I just wanna, like, put singles up and, like, show, like, my versatile my versatility through, like, singles before I drop a whole album with mixed sounds, you know what I mean? [00:02:03] Speaker A: Yeah, right on. Yeah, I was just seeing just some of your songs. I was like, oh, man, this dude got different words, like, different subject matter. Like, yeah, all intertwined. I'm like, oh, shoot. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. So do you aim for that whenever you're ready? [00:02:14] Speaker B: Yeah, honestly, like, I don't want to keep a three minute song under the same topic and just bore out the listeners. So, like, I like to switch it up and like, throw them off because it makes him want to go back and listen to it more. Like, what was he even talking about, you know? [00:02:26] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool. Yeah, I find myself doing that when I'm listening back to older stuff, like, oh, yeah, I didn't know that was there. Yeah, to begin with. Yeah, yeah, that's cool, man. It's cool how you think and think in terms of that when you're creating. Do you write your own music? [00:02:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I write my own music. [00:02:39] Speaker A: Oh, dude, everybody does. [00:02:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:41] Speaker A: Like, it's almost like everybody that rhymes. [00:02:43] Speaker B: I wanna. I wanna make my own beats too, but honestly, I just been working off of a King riches beats recently, so like, he just put me on a bunch of beasts that he had backstock. [00:02:52] Speaker A: So you said King rich? [00:02:53] Speaker B: Yeah, King Rich, 28. [00:02:54] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:55] Speaker B: He's been in corpus for a while. [00:02:56] Speaker A: No kidding. Yeah, yeah, no, dude, I don't know nothing about the scene, nothing like that. So I'm this. I'm learning all this stuff from. From you, from you guys, so. Yeah, that's awesome, man. So you've been working with him for a while? [00:03:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I found him through a writing high podcast, like my first time ever going up there from my own interview. Yeah, he just liked my energy and liked my group, so he was like, I'm finna send you like 50 beats and just choose. Throw him. I was alright. [00:03:20] Speaker A: No kidding. [00:03:21] Speaker B: Yeah, so he just gave me all those beats and I still use them to this day. [00:03:24] Speaker A: Wow. Do you purchase them from him or he just not. [00:03:27] Speaker B: He's like his game. Jeez, I hear bro, just shout me out for my name because he really does even do music for like the money, you know what I mean? So he has his own job, his own career. Like, everything's going good for him. [00:03:39] Speaker A: So yeah, it's kind of like he's. [00:03:40] Speaker B: A real good guy. [00:03:41] Speaker A: Yeah, that's cool. What's his name? [00:03:43] Speaker B: King Rich, 28. [00:03:44] Speaker A: King Rich, 28. Shout out. Appreciate you guys. You guys know him? Shout them out. Tag him on there. Excuse me. Yeah, man. So that. That's cool. So you write your own music. I find that interesting that you write. Do you call it rhyming? What do you call. What do you call yourself an artist? Or. I mean, how do you. [00:04:00] Speaker B: How do you look at that right now? I call myself rapper because, like, I mainly just rap, but, okay. I won't put a label on me as, like, an artist because I don't sing. I don't, like. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Right. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Do all that, you know? [00:04:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:12] Speaker B: I feel like there's, like, levels to calling yourself artists. Like, you got to actually prove yourself and, like, dip and dabble into different genres before you're actually, like, a real set artist. [00:04:20] Speaker A: Wow. Crazy. Ro. And, like, so I noticed your hoodie there says nBh, and you mentioned it, and I couldn't figure out what it meant, and then I found it on, I think, YouTube or something, and two other dudes. Right. [00:04:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Avery and my homeboy, big k. Yeah. [00:04:35] Speaker A: Shout out. Yeah. So I just come up with that name. What is it? Natural. [00:04:39] Speaker B: Natural born hustlers. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:40] Speaker B: Honestly, Avery came up with it, and I just put into, like, music terms and made, like. Oh, my bad. We made a music group behind it, and, like, we just been running with it. Yeah, natural one. Hustlers. Like, it just stands for, like, constantly hustling, constantly wanting more, constantly wanting better for yourself. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:55] Speaker B: Never giving up. [00:04:56] Speaker A: Oh, that's what's up, man. I like that there's a meaning behind it. [00:04:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:59] Speaker A: That's cool, man. Are you from corpus originally? [00:05:01] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm from Corpus. [00:05:02] Speaker A: Yeah. 22 years, bro. Which school did you go to? [00:05:06] Speaker B: I went to Woodlawn Elementary, Haas, and then I went to king my first year, and then I went to RMA after that army. [00:05:13] Speaker A: Okay, where was it at? At the. Is it. Is it where it's at now? [00:05:17] Speaker B: No, it was at that, uh, bank on Everhart. [00:05:21] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:05:21] Speaker B: Yeah, they. It was like an old bank, and then they turned it into the school. [00:05:24] Speaker A: The frostbite. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:26] Speaker A: No way. It was there. [00:05:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:28] Speaker A: Oh, crazy. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Next to the. The deli market or whatever. [00:05:33] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:34] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Right on, man. Yeah. So you want to so grit. So you represent that green and white, baby. Yeah, yeah. [00:05:43] Speaker B: It's kind of, like, weird when people would say, you rep king, but honestly, I do, just because, like, that was my main high school. [00:05:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely a different vibe out there, man. Yeah. [00:05:54] Speaker B: You got a little bit. Everything over there. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Oh, hell, yeah. Yeah, man. For sure. It seems like there's more there more anglos out there, too, then they're like. I mean, there is that Ray, but there's. There's more, like, richer ones that Ray. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:06] Speaker A: You know, I mean, at king, there's. [00:06:07] Speaker B: Not all the good, more middle class, like, vests and. [00:06:12] Speaker A: Yeah, like that. Did you play sports out there or. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Honestly, I played sports all through middle school, but once I got to high school, I just, like, got unmotivated and started messing up. [00:06:23] Speaker A: Yeah. When did you start rhyming? When you start rapping? [00:06:25] Speaker B: I started, like, messing around with it my sophomore year. [00:06:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:28] Speaker B: I didn't put out my first song. I was 20 years old. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:06:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:32] Speaker A: So what does that mean to you? Put out your first song. What does that mean? Like, you put it on Spotify or. [00:06:37] Speaker B: Yeah, like, put it on Soundcloud. Spotify. Cuz I. Soon as I put out my first song, I got on our platforms, like, did it right. [00:06:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:43] Speaker B: Cuz I don't want to. Just, like, I had a lot of friends that were making music, and then they just, like, put out, like, three songs and stop. So I don't want to be one of those. You know what I mean? [00:06:51] Speaker A: You want to keep it consistent? [00:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I want to be consistent. [00:06:54] Speaker A: So what's the plan? Like, do you have, like, a long term goal for it or. [00:06:57] Speaker B: Honestly? Yeah, but mainly my long term goal is, like, to build a group behind me and, like, be for them. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to just be for myself with the music because, like, I find it more interesting when you have, like, more people working around you and you're working as a team and, like, a big old group, right? [00:07:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's cool, man. Like. Like a network, like a community. Yeah. [00:07:16] Speaker B: Like, at first I wanted to be a solo artist, and then my boys came around and started doing it, too. And then when I got with the writing high podcast, like, I met all of them and, yeah, it was just dope. Working with all them. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a cool network. Yeah, that you can't mention. I don't go along without mentioning that podcast, man. And shout out to DJ King. He's gonna be out here soon to be on the podcast. I want to get the story behind that. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Yeah, story behind it. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, definitely, man. Yeah, yeah. Yep. Yeah, I've been over there two times already, those guys, but, yeah, that's good, man. So you got that going, man. I had something in mind, so. Oh, you. Oh, you were gonna put me on with the waffle? [00:07:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, wapo. [00:07:55] Speaker A: Okay. [00:07:55] Speaker B: He just set up a Kingsville festival. [00:07:57] Speaker A: Okay. [00:07:58] Speaker B: And, like, it was with the school. He's a senior over there. He's about to graduate in May night. [00:08:02] Speaker A: Oh, the a and m. A and. [00:08:03] Speaker B: M. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just set that up, and it was, like a crazy show.

I like the Kingsville one and San Antonio the most. I did a show with, I don't know, Jeffrey and Black Smurf, and it was, like, a real good show. Like, there's, like, 300 people out there. [00:08:39] Speaker A: Wow. [00:08:40] Speaker B: Yeah. I was like, what was that? [00:08:41] Speaker A: Like? Wow. [00:08:42] Speaker B: It was pretty crazy. It was my first big, like, crowd and everything, but, yeah, they're rocket to us. I'm vibing now. Like, at first, I was a little nervous and shaky because it was, like, a whole different scene than just, like, performing in front of, like, 2030 people. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:55] Speaker B: And then, like, once you get up there, everybody's, like, looking at you, like, who are you? You know, put on your music, and then they're, like, start bobbing their heads. Everybody starts tapping each other. [00:09:03] Speaker A: They're. [00:09:04] Speaker B: They're just vibing to it. [00:09:05] Speaker A: Yeah, man, that's awesome. So, yeah, so you're doing that. I keep forgetting. It's getting labor of my. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Nah, you're okay. [00:09:13] Speaker A: My old. My old man. Mine is like, that's all good, man. So an essay to 300 people, bro. Was it at a venue or, like. [00:09:22] Speaker B: Yeah, I was at a venue called 210 studios. [00:09:24] Speaker A: Okay. [00:09:25] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a pretty new venue, but it's, like, basically like a club almost. And do, like, when we first got there, there was, like, a crowd just wrapped around the venue, just waiting to get in. [00:09:37] Speaker A: To get in. [00:09:37] Speaker B: Yeah, it was crazy. Like, San Antonio shows love out there. [00:09:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Was it. Was that your first. So is it, like, one of the first, biggest shows that you've played at, or. [00:09:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that was, like, my first, like, first show with over a hundred people. [00:09:50] Speaker A: Wow, man. [00:09:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:52] Speaker A: Did they hit. Did they call you? Hey, you want to come and open up for us? Or, like, how did you get into playing out there? [00:10:00] Speaker B: Oh, I hit up the. I hit up the promoter of it, and then I showed him my music, and he was like, yeah, man, I would love for you to get out here, just pull up. And then I had to pay like a $100 entry fee, but then I got 35 tickets and then got rid of the ticket, so I basically made money off it. [00:10:17] Speaker A: Hey, Maya, which. Which platform do you think you hit the promoter up on? [00:10:22] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely. We were talking about that earlier. Yeah, that's how you get a hold of everybody. [00:10:30] Speaker A: Yeah, well, Instagram crazy. Yeah, well, in fact, that's how we were communicating through Instagram. [00:10:34] Speaker B: Yeah, for. Yeah, I I performed with. For them out there and I came back in Corvus and did it and I was like a whole different scene. Like, seriously? Yeah, like, corpus didn't really come out like that. Like, wow, it was wild as far. [00:10:48] Speaker A: Oh, oh, is the scene out there and. [00:10:50] Speaker B: Yeah, like, yeah, everybody in corpus, they're just sitting down like at a table because the Nellie's urban. Urban bar, whatever. And everybody's just sitting down eating food, drinking. And I was like, yeah, bro. [00:11:04] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. Anthony Diaz out. Then Facebook says I need to set up my Instagram. My Instagram game. Yeah, bro, for sure. I rarely hit people up on Facebook or you. There's some people I hit up on tick tock, which are not honest. They're more on tick tock. Instagram. [00:11:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:11:19] Speaker A: So I guess it's the platform that, that the people that are on and especially like your. Your audience d find that your audience is mostly on Instagram or. [00:11:26] Speaker B: Yeah, my audience is mostly on like, Instagram for sure. I'll say. [00:11:30] Speaker A: Okay. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Cuz I'm not really consistent on Tick tock, which I should be, cuz that's a good way to like capitalize. [00:11:35] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, for sure. [00:11:36] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:11:36] Speaker A: You don't know who. Who's, like, who's where. [00:11:39] Speaker B: Yeah. For. [00:11:39] Speaker A: And TikTok is. It seems like it's more. It's less regulated as far as, like, cuz with Instagram, it seems like you put a post and. And like, they limit your post. Okay. We can only show to this many because they want you to buy ads. Yeah, you know, I'm saying they want you to buy ads so you can push it out to more people. [00:11:55] Speaker B: Most my support and like, on my, like, true, like, listeners that consistently listen to my music, they're from Austin because I went out there to Austin at ACL. Yeah, I passed out like a thousand business cards. [00:12:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:07] Speaker B: And I was just like there to listen to the music. Like FKJ perform, Lil Yachty and Kendrick Lamar. And it was like a badass show. But yeah, I was just out there promoting myself and then people just started listening to me, and now I get like 200 monthly listeners from them. Just straight now. [00:12:26] Speaker A: You were hustling, bro. Damn. [00:12:29] Speaker B: Business cards on my cure, what they are called. Yeah. And I have my link tree with, like, my Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and all my music platforms. [00:12:38] Speaker A: I need to do that, bro. [00:12:39] Speaker B: That's a good idea for. [00:12:41] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. And I was talking to the producer I had on the last show, cuz my wasn't here without. He was somewhere else. But I was like, man, you cuz your gen Z or Gen X? Which one are you? Do you. [00:12:50] Speaker B: I was born in 2001. I don't know. [00:12:52] Speaker A: Okay, so anyway, anyway, I was telling him, I was like, dude, you guys get a bad rap, bro. [00:12:57] Speaker B: Yeah, we do. [00:12:58] Speaker A: Y'all do, right? [00:12:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:59] Speaker A: And I'm like, no, dude, these dudes are at the forefront of technology. What's going on? You need to have some of them on your team. [00:13:04] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. [00:13:05] Speaker A: They can help you. [00:13:06] Speaker B: I think that's why riding high put me on there, because I had some good, like, at the newer. The new generation. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Hell yeah. I mean, I guess it's like any generation, you got the good ones, you got the bad ones. You got to figure out who's who, and you got to keep. Keep constantly growing because, dude, if you forget, if you lose technology in your business, like, if you lose track of it, your business is gonna go because it's gonna go under, bro. [00:13:34] Speaker B: Just stay local. [00:13:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Like, my brother, he owns a business out there in Arkansas, and, like, he doesn't do any. Any big, like, promotions about it. Like, he doesn't push it to any, like, of the outside cities. So he just gets, like, his locals to mess with them and go get their cars tended because he attends windows for a living. [00:13:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:53] Speaker B: And he has, like, a couple of. A couple contracts with dealerships. So then he'll, like, tint their cars for, like, a certain amount of money a month, and the rest are just, like, locals that are in the area. [00:14:06] Speaker A: Okay. [00:14:06] Speaker B: Yeah, but that. That just goes to show, like, if he were to, like, do a mobile service, then he'll probably, like, get a lot more people around this certain areas and that he could just go to and actually, like, just take it to the next level. If he went in and did it on, like, promotion with a Facebook Instagram. Tick tock. I tried to tell him to do that, and I was like, I could. I could basically run everything, edit your videos, and post them for you. [00:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:35] Speaker B: And he was like, no, man's okay. I got. I got a good groove. I want to get overwhelmed. [00:14:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I had another client too, who was on the yellow page, and Maya and I were talking about that. I do. He's got to be on Facebook and TikTok right now. You know what I mean? Yeah, yellow page. You know, the yellow pages is. [00:14:51] Speaker B: No, I barely know. [00:14:59] Speaker A: Man. Road. The phone book, you open it up. There are actual pages with actual numbers. [00:15:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:15:08] Speaker A: You make me feel old right now, bro. [00:15:10] Speaker B: My mommy's at one of those. [00:15:12] Speaker A: There you go. [00:15:14] Speaker B: That's how you order pizza and everything. [00:15:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Someone used to have the coupon on the. [00:15:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:22] Speaker A: That'S funny how Anthony Diaz says, how old do I feel now? Don't know what the yellow pages are. Yeah, definitely. What I even to like to run all those things, it takes a lot of work. We were talking about that earlier, right? [00:15:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:35] Speaker A: Like, it takes a lot of work and you're not even monetized on it. It sucks, dude. Ah, man, I wish. Anyway, you just gotta, you got to work at it to get it out there. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Yeah, to get. [00:15:44] Speaker A: To get your name out there, which is what you're trying to do with your music, right? [00:15:47] Speaker B: No. Yeah. [00:15:48] Speaker A: So you're sure you're basically promoting your own. Your own stuff. And I saw that you had a lot of songs on Spotify. [00:15:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:55] Speaker A: Which to get it on there, you use like what, distrokid or. [00:15:57] Speaker B: Yeah, dish. Okay. [00:15:59] Speaker A: Okay. And so what does that mean? You own the rights to your own music or. [00:16:03] Speaker B: It depends. If you own the beats, then you own the rights. Yeah. [00:16:05] Speaker A: Okay, so so you're basically your own record company. [00:16:09] Speaker B: Yeah, basically. [00:16:10] Speaker A: Okay, wait, which, which do they still make records? How do you listen to music now? You listen to it on Spotify or sound. [00:16:17] Speaker B: Spotify, YouTube music, apple music, basically like Soundcloud, little stuff like that. Like nobody really has CD players in the car anymore. [00:16:26] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:16:27] Speaker B: And that's cuz I was looking at new cars and I seen, I was about to get this subaru and it had a CD player and I was like, man, I really want that. I ain't gonna lie. Rare to see CD players in the car. [00:16:40] Speaker A: Oh my God. [00:16:41] Speaker B: I'm about to go make all my albums and CDs and just listen myself. [00:16:45] Speaker A: Do you know about the Drake Kendrick beef and how you feel about it? [00:16:49] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I'm with Kendrick on that one. [00:16:51] Speaker A: What's going on there? [00:16:53] Speaker B: Basically, like, so in first person shooter with the song with J. Cole and Drake, J. Cole said like he caught out or he basically said his name, jerry and Kendrick Lamar's name all in like, the one verse, and he said, it feels like we're the big three, but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali. And so, like, basically, he went off that and took it as an insult, like, how you're not gonna put me in a big three with y'all. Like, it's just me, and, like. [00:17:23] Speaker A: So he's crying? [00:17:24] Speaker B: Yeah, he's basically crying. But I think another thing is that, like, his record label was holding him back, and he couldn't drop for, like, couldn't drop an album consistently. So it's, like, a lot of built up frustration because everybody's out there moving freely in the game, like, dropping consistently, and they, like, ducked him off to the side. So I think now that he's record free, record label free, he just wants to come in the game solo and just, like, basically say, I'm still here. You know, like, keep his name relevant. Like, that's what he's doing. [00:17:53] Speaker A: So Cole's doing that. Who's doing that? [00:17:55] Speaker B: Kendrick. [00:17:56] Speaker A: Kendrick is doing that. So you're on his side? [00:17:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm on his side. I like the bars I like. [00:18:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:18:01] Speaker B: I like his old. His old record label called TD. They're all fired at me. Like, that's who I grew up listening to. [00:18:07] Speaker A: So that's. So he's one of your main. One of your influence? Main influences? [00:18:10] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:18:10] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [00:18:11] Speaker B: Him and Mac Miller. [00:18:13] Speaker A: Mac Miller. [00:18:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:14] Speaker A: All right. [00:18:14] Speaker B: I like J. Cole a lot, but he's on Drake's. I can't. [00:18:18] Speaker A: He's on the Drake. Which side are you on? Yeah, that's what it is. [00:18:25] Speaker B: You haven't seen all the memes. Like, they put, like, the marvel versus DC. Nah, and they put all, like, everybody who's going with Kendrick and everybody who's going with superheroes faces. It's pretty buddy. [00:18:39] Speaker A: Wow. So. So in the. Mentioning all these names, you got to mention Eminem, right? [00:18:45] Speaker B: Yeah, right. You have pretty much. Yeah, he's the one who started off. [00:18:48] Speaker A: It's almost like we're avoiding it, but we have to say it. [00:18:50] Speaker B: Yeah, just out of the mix. He's like, I ain't with none, basically. I haven't seen him. Said nothing. [00:18:59] Speaker A: So I seen him. I seen him in a picture at the Hollywood walk of Fame with the other three dudes, Snoop, Dre, and 50 cent. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:19:08] Speaker A: And then I. And then I seen him on another post on the Jimmy Kimmel show of. [00:19:22] Speaker B: Him and Drake when Dre got his, like, star on the walkway. Yeah, he was like. He looked a little upset. Like, he looked like, hello, sad he's just, like, sitting there like this. [00:19:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:33] Speaker B: Like a mug shot for him. [00:19:37] Speaker A: Point blank right there. Yeah. [00:19:40] Speaker B: You don't get the respect that he deserves. Oh, that's how I feel. [00:19:43] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, he was real popular, like, when I first started listening to him, which was the Marshall Mathers, I think that was a regular album, the original album. Yeah, yeah, the. I can't remember which one. But, Stan, all that dudes coming out when I was in high school, even, like, still Dre. That still Dre track, was it still Dre with the one that has Eminem nowadays? Everybody want to talk. Oh, yeah, that one was coming out when I was in high school, and everybody liked it, bro. Everybody was like, oh, this is fire. [00:20:10] Speaker B: My mom always told me Eminem was her favorite ever. My mom said that Eminem was her favorite rap. [00:20:15] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:20:16] Speaker B: Biggie. [00:20:17] Speaker A: Well, somebody I was listening to, too, somebody was saying that, like, he got kids, like, from the midwest that started rapping. You know what I mean? [00:20:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:20:24] Speaker A: You know I'm saying. Yeah, it makes. It's crazy, dude. And I listened to Michael White, and I seen him rapping somewhere. I don't know where. Where it was at in the midwest. He was, like, battling against, and it was all white. Mostly white people there, bro. [00:20:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Yeah.

So, is there any other, like, people here in the town that. That you. That you like to listen to, or. It's kind of hard to bring that conversation up because some people are like, oh, you forgot about me or whatever. You know what I mean?

Like longevity and, like, not to sound, like, greedy, but you got to go where the money is when you got priorities and stuff, like. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. In the industry out here, it's like either refinery or the hospital or, like, the schools. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Facts, you know? [00:23:18] Speaker A: I mean, there's really not. Not much out there in the refinery. You can deal with that. You got to deal with something. [00:23:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Thanks. You know, I mean, gotta pick your poison. [00:23:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Being responsible with money. And you were telling me, like. Like, basically, like, saving to help your music. Yeah. And I was like, what? Your music? And then you're like, I already got a studio, which is cool to me because, man, you got your own studio, which means you can record whenever you want to. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:48] Speaker A: You know what I mean? It's. When. I'm telling you, bro, when I was younger, dude, we had to go to somebody's house. [00:23:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:54] Speaker A: You didn't have a studio. [00:23:56] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. [00:23:56] Speaker A: You don't have the money for it, either. [00:23:57] Speaker B: I was for, like, the first year and a half, and then I had a good kitchen job, and I basically just invested into, like, a laptop. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:24:05] Speaker B: A mic. Mic stand. [00:24:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:07] Speaker B: Good speakers and a good interface. And I was like, yeah, it's my studio. [00:24:11] Speaker A: Which laptop do you use for the studio? Is a Mac or. [00:24:14] Speaker B: Yeah, Mac. I use a MacBook. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. Is that, like, one of the best ones for recording, do you think? Or is that, like, an ongoing battle? [00:24:19] Speaker B: One of the most, like, easy. Easy to, like, access? You know what I mean? Like, you get on the go, you come take it to a hotel if you're out doing a show somewhere. Yeah, yeah, I got you anything like that. So that's why it's the best for me. [00:24:34] Speaker A: Which kitchen did you work out? [00:24:36] Speaker B: Fins, vans. Fins, Finns? Yeah, it's in Puerto Ricans. [00:24:40] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:41] Speaker A: Oh, they got a different vibe out there, too. [00:24:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, they do. [00:24:47] Speaker A: Wow. I like your story so far. It's cool, man. Did. Were you complaining on going to college afterward or trade school afterwards? [00:24:56] Speaker B: Because I didn't finish high school, so, like, school really was never, like, for me, so. [00:25:00] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:25:01] Speaker B: I really had no plan, so I was like, I'm gonna try this music thing out. [00:25:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:05] Speaker B: And then I just kept on getting frustrated working in the kitchen, so then I got sober. I stopped smoking weed. [00:25:11] Speaker A: Oh. [00:25:11] Speaker B: I was. I'm gonna just go in there, find. See if I can make a career out of that. Like, a plan, you know? I mean, my dad did real good off it. Like, my stepdad, he, um. He's the one that basically motivated me to get in the refineries. Like, he's like, you gotta stop playing and come work me. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Do a real. Stop working that. Fans. [00:25:28] Speaker B: Yeah, stop working at fans, dude. [00:25:31] Speaker A: Yeah. You mentioned stepdad, bro. That's. That's very common around here. [00:25:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:35] Speaker A: Having a stepparent step mom, but. Yeah. Did you know your real father, or did you like. [00:25:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I met him, like, when I was, like, 14. And, like, my. Him and my mom broke it when I was, like, two. [00:25:51] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:25:51] Speaker B: So, like, my mom really didn't like him and didn't want me around him like that. [00:25:54] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:25:56] Speaker B: But I see why he's a mess up. My stepdad, he's been there for me since I was five years old and just, like, looked after me like I was his own.

[00:30:49] Speaker A: That's so your family, do they'll support you on out with all this stuff? [00:30:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, definitely. [00:30:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Mainly when I'm doing, like, radio stuff and, like, shows and stuff. Like. But, like, not daily. They won't just, like, send me a video. My music's. And really not their style. They like country, they like rock. [00:31:07] Speaker A: So were you the only one that liked it, like, this type of music? [00:31:12] Speaker B: Kinda, but, like, I was like, yeah, the main one who was, like, dedicated towards it and, like, always invested into it. [00:31:20] Speaker A: Wow, that's interesting. How did you start first start listening to it? Like, did somebody say, hey, check this out? Or, like, think. [00:31:27] Speaker B: Cuz my cousin Cameron, he. He used to always have the Lil Wayne CDs in his car, and he was always ordering me. So, like, when he was 16, I was like, maybe eight, nine. And, like, he's always put on little Wayne every time we're in his car. And I just liked it. I was, uh. So I went to my mom and I was like, can you give me a little Wayne CDs? Can you give me a 50 cent CDs? Like, yes. All these a little different she was getting for you. [00:31:51] Speaker A: Like. [00:31:53] Speaker B: She likes music, too, so she's like, she's a big help with my music. Because when I. When I'm, like, second guessing a song, I could play it around her. I'm like, hey, mom, let me know what you think about this. You've been listening music for a while, and she'll be honest. Sometimes she'll be like, nah, I don't like that one. But a lot of times she'd be like, that's real good. Yeah, she just tells me, keep. Keep going, keep striving for different sounds, and, like, she really wants to hear me do rock. She really wants to hear me do a. Wow, really? Yeah. So that's cool. That's basically what I'm waiting for. Like, just getting that confidence to actually sing or, like, do rock and expand out the genre. [00:32:30] Speaker A: Wow, cool. That's pretty cool, man. [00:32:32] Speaker B: Appreciate it. [00:32:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Different. Different genres. Instead of that. Yeah, I like the heavy stuff, meant to be honest, but, yeah, that's. That's dope. So you said your song wasn't based. It wasn't on ready. Y'all would say it wasn't ready. What do you mean by that? Like, the lyrics weren't ready. [00:32:46] Speaker B: Like. Like, the first. The first two verses for both of us. We liked him a lot, but, like, coming towards the end of the song, we want to close it out to where, like, it makes you, like, kind of like a handcliff, you know? I mean. Okay, I want to listen to that again. I want to listen that again. But, like, yes, it's kind of like, just a strategic move that we're trying to make and, like, just make ourselves, like, look more professional and, like, look like we have a. Basically, that one's gonna be introduced to the next upcoming album called dedicated. [00:33:16] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:33:17] Speaker B: Cuz my first. My first album was everyone's equal. My second one was motivated. And this one we want to put dedicated. [00:33:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:24] Speaker B: Just, like, show them that we're dedicated. [00:33:26] Speaker A: Do you feel like the scene or even people don't take y'all seriously when. [00:33:31] Speaker B: We first came out, definitely. But, like, now, like, we're getting a lot more respect. And then, like, all these other groups are just hitting us up, telling us, keep going. Like, offering a show is like, almighty public zoo. And Bopo put us on the festival, and he's, like, getting us all these different connections. And people wanted me to do their shows out there in awesome. People do shows in Houston for them, like, promoters for, like, for free. [00:33:57] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:33:57] Speaker B: But I just don't have the time right now, so it's just all about working around my schedule. [00:34:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's tough. See the almighty public zoo, are they, like, a group? I've seen them. I've seen them around, like, on Instagram and stuff, but, yeah. Is it, like a group? Is that what they. [00:34:14] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a. It's a older group. They've been around since, like, when I was born, honestly. [00:34:18] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. Okay. [00:34:20] Speaker B: They've been doing music since, like, 2000 to 2001, something like that. [00:34:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:25] Speaker B: So they've been around for a while. [00:34:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:27] Speaker B: Like, a lot of producers under their group. They have a lot of videographers, rappers, all different types of stuff. [00:34:33] Speaker A: Wow, man, it's like a community. [00:34:35] Speaker B: Like a community did a battle rap. Like, I saw that in December for a freak man one or something. [00:34:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow. [00:34:44] Speaker B: It went pretty crazy. Like, they got the whole city out there. It was packed. Everybody was like. It was like eight mile type of eyes. [00:34:52] Speaker A: Yeah, that's cool, man. [00:34:54] Speaker B: Yeah, they're bringing. They're bringing back the energy, you know, Corpus, for sure. Yeah, come some music and rap. [00:35:00] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. So is the. Do you think it's like that for a reason? Like, in Corpus, like, because it seems like you try. You're trying to make it grow, but then it's like it doesn't want to. I know. I think it's like that for every scene, not just the rap. [00:35:12] Speaker B: I feel like the biggest problem with the corpus rap scene is that everybody wants to be on top and everybody wants to be, like, the number one and the most looked at. And, like, they don't really, like, network networking like that. You know what I mean? So they don't like doing features. They don't, like, send up shows altogether. And if it does, and it's, like, bias and it's like, their homeboys that they grew up with, you know, I mean. [00:35:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, turn down his mic here or whatever, you know, some stupid, like. Yeah, that's a yes. Yeah, man. That's messed up, dude. Yeah, that sucks. It's like, do you get. Do most of these people, artists or whatever, do they get paid in doing all this stuff? You know? I mean, like, is there a reason they would want to be like that? Maybe because they would lose money or, like. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't think they're losing money. [00:35:59] Speaker B: But I think it's about, like, oh, I don't want. I don't want to make it look like this person's doing better than me. You know what I mean? Like, it's like. That's how I see it. [00:36:09] Speaker A: That's petty. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. It's just petty. [00:36:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:36:13] Speaker B: I like working with everybody. Like, even if you have, like, no followers, you don't have no social media. But I like your music. I'm still gonna put you on my song. You know what I mean? [00:36:22] Speaker A: How do you find yourself, like, dealing with people that are like that, like, say, haters or even like, that where they're petty because you have. [00:36:30] Speaker B: I just keep them away the way from the circle. I just keep them away from, like, my scene. You know what I mean? [00:36:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:36] Speaker B: But because, honestly, I dealt with that with a couple people from almighty public zoo. Like, freak. Freak, man put me in connects with one of the co owners from there, and his name is Junior. He owns that Sweet Bay Easy eats. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:36:53] Speaker B: And he was. Yeah, he was trying to get me in the. On the show, like, a while back because they're sending this up, like, around January, so they're, like, putting it in the works, talking about it, because, I mean, I really want you and your crew to come and get on the show. Me. And then there's, like, two older artists from Corpus. [00:37:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:12] Speaker B: And they're just like, they ain't been doing enough. They ain't doing this. And then. Yeah, so, like, that started problems with junior on the group, so he split up from them for a while. [00:37:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:23] Speaker B: And then, like, they were gonna put me on, and they ended up having nobody else, I guess. So they just, like, asked me, I guess, do. That's what. Yeah, exactly. It's just a bunch of drama that I just stay away from it. [00:37:37] Speaker A: You said sweet Bay. Sweet, sweet bay. Easy. [00:37:40] Speaker B: Sweet bay. Easy. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Eats there a trailer, right? Or. [00:37:43] Speaker B: Yeah, he's like a little food truck. [00:37:44] Speaker A: Okay. Was it, like, southern style or what is it? Trying to figure out what it is. I see him around everything. [00:37:49] Speaker B: He has, like, chinese food. He has, like, burritos, like, american food, you know? [00:37:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:55] Speaker B: There's a whole bunch of different. Little bit of everything, man. He has these dumplings with. [00:37:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Sweet sauce is crazy. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Post up at. [00:38:06] Speaker B: What's this? One of these bars down here, like, right down the street. [00:38:09] Speaker A: Okay. [00:38:10] Speaker B: And then he also goes, you ever heard of fizz? Fizz? [00:38:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:38:14] Speaker B: He posted up right there. [00:38:16] Speaker A: Okay, okay. I know exactly. A staples and. No. Is it airline? [00:38:19] Speaker B: Airline? [00:38:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I think. I. I don't know. It seems like every time there's a business there, it always, like, it stays and then it goes. Like, it flops. You know what I mean? I don't, but, yeah, that's cool, man. So do you eat anywhere else local? [00:38:38] Speaker B: Really? I just be bouncing around from everywhere. [00:38:40] Speaker A: Yeah, right on. [00:38:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I can't really name. Yeah, there's this place called eight a. Like the letter a text, and it was right there on airline in McCardell. [00:38:51] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:38:51] Speaker B: That place went hard, but they shut down. I don't know how they shut down. Yeah. [00:38:54] Speaker A: What? [00:38:55] Speaker B: I love that place. [00:38:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I was wondering what that was. I was like, what is that? Cause I seen the ate. [00:39:01] Speaker B: They had the best buffalo chicken sandwich, bro. I swear. Yeah, that was my shit. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So. So, tech tail. I was thinking about Texas rapper. It made me. Your accent there reminded me of Texas. Was it mexican ot or whatever? [00:39:16] Speaker B: Mexican ot, yeah. [00:39:17] Speaker A: Do you like that guy? Some people don't like him. [00:39:19] Speaker B: Some people. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. He's been a lot of podcasts. [00:39:22] Speaker B: Yeah, he's been going crazy right now. Like. Yeah, you know his videographer, D. Green? He's from Corpus, right? [00:39:28] Speaker A: Really?

[00:39:35] Speaker B: I don't know how he got in connect with Mexican OT, but he found him when he was, like, first coming out, man. [00:39:40] Speaker A: That's because I shot mexican ot. A message. I was like, I know this is probably a long shot, but you want to be on my podcast? [00:39:46] Speaker B: He'll do it. Probably just for some money, though. [00:39:49] Speaker A: Give him. Give him some money. Wow, dude. I was like, well, shoot that video August from corporate. Let me hit him up. Say. [00:39:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Hit him up. [00:39:58] Speaker A: D green films network, right? [00:39:59] Speaker B: Yeah, that's why I do his network. [00:40:01] Speaker A: Network it. [00:40:02] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. [00:40:03] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, that's what's up, man. So I always ask the people that the corpse question about heb here. So which he be do you shop at or which one do you avoid?

And plus I live on in the jaws, and so that's like, right around the corner. [00:40:24] Speaker A: Yeah, right on.

So would you own a Tesla? [00:41:17] Speaker B: Probably, but I think my issue is, is I drive a lot. Like, I drive a lot for work.

[00:42:34] Speaker B: Okay. [00:42:35] Speaker A: They had a truck. I don't know if they still have it, but he said they were gonna try to run the truck and the. The restaurant there. At the Riley's pub? Yeah, man. Dude, there's a lot of eateries here in town, man. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:46] Speaker A: There's even drama around them people, too. Oh, my God. It's in every industry. [00:42:52] Speaker B: Even. Even junior for Sweet Bay easy eats. He was having problems because some girl came in. [00:42:58] Speaker A: Wow. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Came to this bar and was like, can I. Can I pull it behind them and work. Work at the same spot? [00:43:05] Speaker A: Oh, damn. [00:43:06] Speaker B: If you want the spot, you could just have it. I'm not even making a lot of money sharing it, so, like, yeah, there's definitely problems in every industry. It's just like, I worry. You go to a kitchen, have problems. You go to the refineries, have problems. [00:43:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I was gonna say something, so. Yeah, they have that there. Yeah. I appreciate you coming on the show, man. [00:43:29] Speaker B: No problem, brother. [00:43:29] Speaker A: Yeah. How'd you feel when I invited you on the show? [00:43:31] Speaker B: I was excited. I was happy. [00:43:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:33] Speaker B: Yeah. I like meeting new people. I like getting on new networks, and, like, it's honestly impressive that, like, you have different opportunities, like the radio, you have corpse Chris, the originals, like, writing high, like. Yeah, it's good to see everybody working within the city. [00:43:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:48] Speaker B: And, like, trying to go somewhere with it, you know? I mean. [00:43:51] Speaker A: Yeah. And I always make it a point to shout out the Ryan High podcast, cuz I don't want. I mean, I don't want to seem like we're competing or anything, like. [00:44:01] Speaker B: No, yeah, definitely not. [00:44:02] Speaker A: Nah, definitely not. And I like that. I mean, I know we had differences and whatever, but at the same time, they do. Like, there's no reason to. To be petty or, like, you know. [00:44:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Facts. [00:44:13] Speaker A: No reason to be like that. So even just having, like, even having, like, dj king on and the people from the Ryan Hot network is. I think it's good shot. Not other podcasts, too, because he's another podcast. And there's several other guys, like Anthony Diaz, who's on the Facebook chat he's got his own Paul. He does, like, conspiracy, like animals. Like, over in all 50 states. [00:44:38] Speaker B: Bro, that's dope. [00:44:39] Speaker A: Yeah. Like the. The snally gaster. I'm thinking about that one. [00:44:42] Speaker B: He lives here in Corpus. [00:44:43] Speaker A: Yeah, he lives here in Corpus. [00:44:44] Speaker B: Okay. [00:44:44] Speaker A: He's a. He's a vet. He's a veteran from the Marines. [00:44:47] Speaker B: Oh, shit. [00:44:48] Speaker A: Yeah. So he's doing his thing. Check him out. 50 states of terror. [00:44:51] Speaker B: 50 states of terror. [00:44:52] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. He's an author also, so he writes, and he started another podcast where he reads, like, you know, clips from his book or whatever he's writing and. Yeah, so that's hard. Yeah, I know. Like, cuz he writes. You know what I mean? That there's another network right there. Like, you're a writer, he's a writer. You know, whatever you can. Oh, and I even. I even put him on. Not put him on, but I mentioned him to Droopy last time Drew Bree was here. [00:45:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:15] Speaker A: Cuz I. You know how he's in the conspiracy podcast? [00:45:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:20] Speaker A: Are you into that type of stuff? [00:45:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:26] Speaker A: So do you think about the pyramids? [00:45:28] Speaker B: I can't even answer that. I know that the. I know that the pyramids is a speed of light, though. Like, the coordinates. Yeah, that's pretty wild itself. I don't think humans built that. It probably had to be aliens or something. [00:45:41] Speaker A: Droopy was saying, like, nobody questions how the. The pyramids in Mexico were built. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Fag. So no cap. Or even, like, the ancient china statues, like. Like, before Christ and, like, 500 BC. Yeah, like, they're freaking huge. Like, the twin. The twin tower size. Like. [00:46:02] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:46:03] Speaker B: It's insane. [00:46:03] Speaker A: We think about that boat wrecking into that. That bridge. [00:46:07] Speaker B: Oh, no. I've seen conspiracies on that, too. That it was planned and. Yeah, that the bombs on it or something, that, like, collapsed it all the way or something. Like that bomb. [00:46:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I saw somebody showing, like, the boat. [00:46:21] Speaker B: Turned into it, honestly, if you ask me. But. But they say even if the. Even if the engine fails on the boat, that you can still steer and you can still, like, turn on it. So it's like, basically not like a car. Like, where if your engine shuts off, then your steering wheel is gonna lock up. Like, it's not like that, you know? I mean. [00:46:37] Speaker A: Oh, wow. Yeah. It didn't even look like that boat could fit under that bridge. Like, I don't hear it. Yeah, it's weird. [00:46:46] Speaker B: That's why they're building this new bridge in Corbett's because supposedly they're. They had like, a couple business boats. I wanted to come through here, but it wasn't big enough. Bridge wasn't big enough. So that's why they're building the new one. [00:46:58] Speaker A: You know when they're gonna finish? [00:47:02] Speaker B: They started that when I was like, sophomore in high school. It's crazy. Yeah, man, I heard they are. They stopped it for a while because they caught the pillar sinking or something like that. [00:47:15] Speaker A: Yeah, something like that. Some kind of inspection with dot or something like that. [00:47:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:19] Speaker A: Crazy, man. I just hope it doesn't fall down whenever they finish. [00:47:23] Speaker B: I'm going to ferry way. [00:47:28] Speaker A: Yeah, man, if we. If nothing else to show, even have anything else to share, man, we'll wrap it up. [00:47:32] Speaker B: Nah, don't, honestly. [00:47:34] Speaker A: So we find. How do we find you online? Kai serving guy. [00:47:37] Speaker B: Serving the name, basically. Just like, serving a purpose. Like Kaiser. Yeah. So, like, my real name is Kyle, and, like, I just put it short. Kai servant. And I wanted to go for, like, I'm pretty sure you notices to, like, go for original name like that. You can search this name up and it's gonna be the only artist name or, like, Corpus Christi originals. Yeah, it's gonna be the only podcast and the only platform that you're able to find, like, a tag. [00:48:01] Speaker A: Like a tag that's available everywhere. [00:48:03] Speaker B: Yeah, because, like, you can go on YouTube and search up some rappers names and you're gonna find a whole other rapper. So, like, that's what. Something I wanted to avoid from the junk. [00:48:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw one of your tags had a g on the end. Like, maybe. Maybe somebody already took it or whatever. [00:48:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I think so. [00:48:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:17] Speaker B: Yeah. So there was, like, this random Instagram page that had Instagram kai serving, and it was like, four followers are on it and all. Why you even gonna make that name and not use it? That's a legendary name, bro. [00:48:38] Speaker A: Money on this one. [00:48:39] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. One day I'm out to buy it, I ain't gonna lie. [00:48:42] Speaker A: Yeah, right. Did you try messaging them there? [00:48:46] Speaker B: Yeah, he never responded. Yeah, he has no pose on it or nothing. He probably doesn't even have access to the account I shot. Reported to hang a lot. [00:48:56] Speaker A: Shoes. Your livelihood, bro, you got. So that's how we find you online. You're mostly on Instagram or Facebook. [00:49:03] Speaker B: Or mostly on Instagram. But I'd be on Facebook too, when they're. Mbh. Kai servan. [00:49:07] Speaker A: Mbh. Okay, so is that another page you have? Nbh.
