Summary
Fly Soldier and Kodak Red 4x became known as the Island Boyz for obvious reasons. From ages 15 to 17, they were in and out of jail a lot, mostly for robbery but once they discovered instagram they started to gain traction where they would go live with random people, sometimes artists, sometimes real gangsters, but when I discovered them was last year.

00:00:33.120
red 4x became known as the island boys for obvious reasons when i first came across them i thought
00:00:38.800
they were soundcloud rappers that are trying to bring back 2016 2017. this image that they're
00:00:43.760
going for was once considered unique because the people who had it backed it up with good music
00:00:49.120
but then it got flooded with people who had the look but not the music it seems like these two
00:00:53.760
almost went through the soundcloud rapper checklist to make sure they got it all face tats check
00:00:59.760
interesting hair check drug use check i did a lot of per i did a lot of perks um when i was 17 i was
00:01:06.560

in our county but we can barely consider these guys rappers were you guys trying to be rappers wait
00:01:24.880
do they actually rap or nah y'all with them are they better than young boy
00:01:38.320
before you got locked up see this is this is the thing i didn't really know what i was going to be
00:01:42.240
i'm so young i just wanted to be lit you know what i mean being lit is the number one priority for
00:01:47.120
kodiak red it's not achieving musical esteem enhanced rapping ability maybe making a great
00:01:52.800
album or even showing the world that he is built in auto-tune i don't use too much auto-tune i sound
00:01:57.920
like i have automatic auto-tune like it's called harmonizing look i could do it i i say j with all
00:02:03.280
my nine they like money when you shine some people would just call that singing now like everything
00:02:07.840
else that's trendy tick tock is the reason you see them all over the internet so i have a lot of
00:02:12.720
people saying that i look like cynthia the dog but once i started to do a bit more digging i kind of
00:02:18.960
felt bad for the island boys well my my dad died at like an early age like i turned 18 my mom kicks
00:02:26.560
both both of us out out the crib i know i mentioned that their story was very typical soundcloud rapper
00:02:32.560
ask but there's no doubt that their reality was bleak they obviously made choices that landed them in and
00:02:37.200
out of jail but it seems like they needed a little bit of guidance and considering how ridiculous they
00:02:41.840
portray themselves they're very self-aware are you guys i seem self-aware like for what like if you
00:02:47.760
look at you two in a mirror you'd be like i don't know what's going on these guys heads i mean it's a
00:02:51.200
very unique look you gotta be unique you gotta be you gotta literally you gotta stand out so then are
00:02:56.880
you supposed to feel bad because they had a rough upbringing and needed guidance or are they hiding
00:03:01.200
in plain sight looking and acting ridiculous on purpose because they know it brings in the views
00:03:05.440
my name is patrick cc and on this island we drink water let's get one thing straight the island boys
00:03:10.960
song is kind of fire they may be speaking in doctor's handwriting but the melodies are on point
00:03:15.680
if it wasn't obvious the twin brothers are from florida specifically palm beach they claim that they
00:03:20.400
were always popular they liked it they are natural entertainers and potentially clones of various other
00:03:25.520
rappers from ages 15 and 17 they were in and out of jail a lot mostly for robbery but once they
00:03:31.040
discovered instagram they started to gain a little traction where they would go live with random people
00:03:35.440
sometimes artists sometimes real gangsters but when i discovered them was last year when this
00:03:40.640
blue collar joe schmo served up some real life lessons for fly soldier i'm a full-time rapper
00:03:46.080
you know oh you're a full-time i think you're a full-time idiot is what you are you're not a full-time
00:03:50.400
rapper dude how do you treat your girl i treat her well i provide i'm like a normal adult and you're
00:03:57.440
sitting in some dirty room like trolling people like you're doing the whole like six nine method but
00:04:02.720
you ain't trolling nobody who's important so like for what you're just wasting your own time you're turning red
00:04:10.640
who me no i'm laughing your face is turning red and your teeth are turning green i'm asking you a
00:04:15.120
question is my face right now i can't tell you got writing all over
00:04:22.160
that was literally just a who is this guy he's funny as
00:04:28.960
he's like bro oh my god it's funny random dude who spent 40 minutes of his day trying to convince
00:04:34.960
nfl young man that he was making some poor decisions the hero we don't deserve the live
00:04:39.280
stream would get posted on worldstar and youtube which got a lot of new attention from real
00:04:43.120
gangsters who were not very fond of fly soldier acting tough man stop acting bro stop acting
00:04:56.880
but then that same guy is just here chilling with them acting cool later on so it's just so was was it
00:05:02.640
ever real you'll notice that starts that w script
00:05:07.680
ironic i know ironic shut the up bitch comma trend from here on out a lot of their ig lives would get
00:05:14.080
screen recorded and posted on youtube which would sometimes gain them some new traction so once their
00:05:19.360
buzz started increasing they just kept doing these ig lives and doing what exactly where's your mom
00:05:25.200
where is she in bed can you call her for me please she's i need her to tickle my twin girl tell
00:05:33.200

00:05:44.960
actually just weird like what the it's not even funny on god it's not funny it's just weird
00:05:49.600
chad if you laugh at that you're like five years old that was not funny on god
00:05:52.800
a few hundred people would actually come back to watch these live streams and we started to see
00:05:57.520
regulars that came on the lives which became sort of an instagram reality show for example
00:06:03.280
this guy that i mentioned before he became known as green hat guy who is now a literal
00:06:08.640
influencer with more ig followers than me so follow me on ig and let's change that

00:06:42.640
this is the dark side of florida oh these are all people from florida royce chico this is like the
00:06:49.520
degenerate universe of unsuccessful rappers with face tattoos basically this whole ecosystem just
00:06:55.520
exists and they go live together oh why are they all tatted up like boom boom boom boom every day
00:07:02.720
sometimes it's just two or they do groups of three and four most of the time it's boring as
00:07:07.280
shit but once it gets dry they start beefs with each other i can't even tell who's friends and who
00:07:12.160
isn't because they're always threatening each other pointing guns on screen and acting like internet
00:07:16.960
gangsters then the next day they will just be chilling on live all buddy buddy but the most
00:07:22.000
interesting character is chico chico is an older gentleman from north carolina at some point in
00:07:26.640

00:07:56.640
instagram they would do their ig live streams and post on tiktok while working and that's when they
00:08:01.600
really started to take off fly soldier went back to florida to take care of his child and red stayed in
00:08:06.160

00:08:33.840

00:08:38.400
he brings him to some real gang members to check in basically all you guys think you're dumb first
00:08:43.120

00:08:48.880

00:08:53.920

00:09:04.320
come for me baby girl and stayed with chico but red started to claim to be a real gang member
00:09:10.160
a blood specifically chico wasn't having that one day chico kicks in red's door and decides
00:09:14.960
he needs to make this right you can't take a fucking joke
00:09:18.320
check my basically he was just trying to scare the out of him and it worked bro why are you guys
00:09:22.720
putting blm really bro why you guys realize that makes you racist right
00:09:32.880
kick this door what's up what you claim in the internet uh sex money but why you doing that
00:09:40.800
this is commonly referred to as the kidnapping incident that you'll see them talk about in
00:09:52.720
interviews but it really wasn't kidnapping you know he did punk this
00:09:56.240
wait he's a pedophile he gave out free candy bro why did it just these two are the i-hole
00:10:02.480
fucking hate this mouse bro wild and red stayed in carolina
00:10:05.840
men here it is where the is the uh sex money but why you doing that
00:10:12.960
what the am i watching chat this is where royce lives royce this is these are your people
00:10:20.960
can i stay with you bro bro come on bro i can't do this this is commonly referred to as the
00:10:26.400
kidnapping incident that you'll see them talk about in blm it really wasn't you know what i'm done
00:10:30.800
chat matter of fact every time i react from now on i'm just not gonna say anything bro i'm not gonna do
00:10:34.960
it she's not gonna do it she's not gonna do it kidnapping he did punk the red though chico is
00:10:43.760
kind of like their toxic stepfather there's videos of him hitting red and being verbally abusive but at
00:10:49.120
the end of the day he did give them a place to stay money and a job when they were down bad the most
00:10:54.320
i don't know everything that happened but there's something deeper there because you can see it in
00:10:57.680
soldiers eyes on this specific live stream he respects chico and he just looks guilty or sad
00:11:03.520
because chico was in legal trouble and the island boys left him in the dust currently chico is in
00:11:08.000
jail free chico i haven't really mentioned it on the chat what do you get locked up for
00:11:25.040
there isn't really much to say they're all just cosplaying as rappers
00:11:30.960
which literally just consists of people commenting on their videos and them responding to these comments
00:11:35.520
i think the best theme of their tiktok is that they reply to these comments seriously as if people
00:11:40.880
aren't drawing the out of them but it's kind of the same situation as any of these other gimmicky
00:11:46.000
influencers we've seen like bad baby whoa vicky and others they basically allow themselves to get bullied
00:11:51.920
over and over and eventually a small percentage of the people start to kind of root for them
00:11:56.800
like they're an underdog and if you keep sticking it out eventually the bullies go away
00:12:00.880
and you're left with an inflated follower count and a small fan base or people just secretly like you the
00:12:05.680
whole time because in recent interviews they don't seem that bad they actually seem very nice and
00:12:09.760
self-aware if you close your eyes you might think wow i would love to take a nice walk in the park with
00:12:15.360
these two gentlemen that's why the boundary between what is real and what isn't is so thin for me
00:12:20.720
is this all just one giant act for internet clout are they letting people just make fun of them
00:12:26.240
or are they actually very dumb violent and dangerous people they love to start beefs they have
00:12:31.600
incredibly toxic relationships did they really do all of that to their bodies just for some instagram
00:12:36.880
fame i can't be convinced that these two are just rappers and they're doing it for the music
00:12:41.680
even though that's what they claim because the music is so bad
00:12:45.360
i mean sure the island boy's jacuzzi tape slaps but the rest of their music is horrible
00:13:08.000
and maybe i'm biased because i just love rap music so much and i think these two are being
00:13:12.000
rappers as an excuse to justify their image and antics i mean kodiak red did get the kodak black
00:13:17.840
cosign they linked up in florida and kodak has publicly supported him it's actually the reason
00:13:22.880
why he changed his name from red 4x to kodiak red and kodak does have the musical respect so maybe he
00:13:28.720
can help them make a listenable song i honestly have no idea what the future holds for the island boys or
00:13:35.040
any of these marvel universe facetat unsuccessful rappers i can't see anyone taking them seriously
00:13:42.960
ever but what do you think 80 of you are not subscribed new videos every tuesday
00:13:50.240
these two are the island boys tick tock okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay
00:13:56.880
see like i like when you guys tell me to watch these types of videos y'all got any more videos for me to
