00:08:08.680know this our first podcast back and and in the same vein actually so you retired for basically
00:08:13.280the amount of time that i did that's it yes did you did you really retire by the way i did but
00:08:19.260it was like uh uh your 20s 20s are weird 20s is like a time where you're trying to find find
00:08:26.420yourself and you know i got a line on a song that's not even out yet but i said something that
00:08:31.280acceptance is is a drug and in my 20s i was od'ing and it's like this is a real thing you
00:08:36.520want to be accepted you want to be loved by everybody especially as artists and creatives
00:08:40.840like dude we want to be loved by everybody and that's just not realistic and once i finally came
00:08:45.740to terms with that and understood that um i was ready to kind of get the fuck out of the i can0.99
00:08:50.960cuss right yeah okay pussy i was i was just ready to to get the fuck out of like all the bullshit i0.99
00:08:57.080just wanted to raise my boy and while i was doing that i was making a lot of music so then i was0.99
00:09:03.980like well obviously i'm still making music because it's therapeutic and i love it so
00:09:07.420well what's going on here and then i realized what i really wanted to retire from or kind of
00:09:14.000in a sense have was just the bullshit of the internet just the negative comments in the0.97
00:09:19.280the the world of enough you know not good enough hood enough black enough rich enough1.00
00:09:23.780this enough that enough dope and whatever the fuck enough is and i looked in the in the mirror0.99
00:09:28.260and said not only have i had enough i am enough and then i was like i'm back bitch final days0.99
00:09:33.060and there it is was that was that desire to be accepted uh something that you can trace back to0.53
00:09:38.720your personal life prior to being an artist like was that something that you that you struggled
00:09:44.280with like a lot of people did uh like do their whole lives yeah but it wasn't like it wasn't0.52
00:09:49.020like jack harlow like in school like oh the girls didn't really fuck with me like that like that0.83
00:09:54.060it wasn't like that also shout out to jack harlow look that's the homie what i'm saying is it was0.98
00:09:59.280like my mother you know what i'm saying and like my dad and the neglect and growing up in a0.80
00:10:05.520household of like both of my parents being crack addicts and alcoholics and drug addicts and
00:10:11.140my mother was a prostitute and my brothers sold drugs to our dad and were in gangs and shot0.87
00:10:17.640did some shit i ain't gonna say on camera and xyz like that's that was a difficult thing0.97
00:10:24.060and not having that acceptance or a stable foundation from my own parents was very difficult0.99
00:10:31.460the easy part was being accepted you know being this black white boy being being a biracial kid
00:10:37.660who in my hood and where I grew up and with all my brothers and sisters and everybody I was just
00:10:42.100me and it was what it was that was amazing I was always accepted for who I for who I am and then
00:10:48.020I think getting into hip-hop it's a lot of people telling you you are this and they get mad and
00:10:54.000the vein in their head explodes you're not no this thing you say you are no you're not no you're not0.97
00:10:59.440and then for a long time i i cared so much now i'm just like man eat a dick yes i am this is me1.00
00:11:05.400fuck you i'm getting this money i'm paid you're mad at me because i'm successful man fuck your1.00
00:11:09.440life and yeah powerful place to be i like it now yeah i mean it's it's the best you can be comfortable1.00
00:11:15.400in your own skin you know who you are you know what you're doing you know how you're gonna get
00:11:17.720there or maybe you don't but you're still doing it regardless i'm curious how someone like you
00:11:22.200Because, you know, I've been one of the people watching your trajectory from the sidelines and admire everything you've done, man.
00:11:28.920And I said before you walked in that, like, today is a day where I feel like I want to be inspired.
00:11:35.080And I find you incredibly inspiring and also successful.
00:11:39.360And it's interesting to me how someone like you, who has had all this success, didn't have, didn't find that I am enough until, how old are you now?
