He's a music videographer, photographer, and social media influencer who has covered some of the most famous music festivals in the U.S. and has been involved in some of hip hop's most influential music festivals, such as Lollapalooza, Summer smash, and Oblock, one of the biggest music festivals of all time.

Transcript

00:00:00.000 you went to chicago right yeah back in the day i covered a music festival called lyrical lemonade
00:00:03.760 or summer smash and i went to oblock the next day and somehow that became my like most watched video
00:00:08.140 of all time 13 million views yeah that was sick i love it it's sick yeah why do you think it was
00:00:12.720 so special why do you think it did so well well oblock is like the genesis of drill music you
00:00:16.660 mind if we played yeah sure rob go ahead and play go ahead you're saying oblock is the genesis
00:00:20.380 oblock is the genesis of drill music which is a sub-genre like a of rap which is hyper violent
00:00:25.260 and focuses on like real life violence it's actually been a pretty destructive uh cultural
00:00:28.700 force to be honest with you but you know oblock is where it started so it's kind of like you know
00:00:33.420 how people would go to mississippi to document the origin story of blues or they go to new orleans
00:00:38.180 for jazz or they go to uh nashville for country chicago and south chicago is like that for drill
00:00:43.160 music i think that in 100 years there's going to be like drill tours in the same way that there's
00:00:47.680 like a kentucky bourbon trail where people will like drink the whole way and go say this is where
00:00:52.060 uh pot pappy van winkle put his 15 year barrel up for sale in 1798 they're going to do this
00:00:58.680 in oblock and be like this is where chief keith was born in the year 1995 and there's going to
00:01:04.420 be people in 2150 like oh my god that's so crazy what is that peak rob go back on the video at the
00:01:09.980 beginning there was a peak all the way to the about first first part first two minutes oh sorry
00:01:13.940 what is that what is that peak what happens here press play
00:01:17.480 eehe the k gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk gdk유� expanded that shit
00:01:26.640 to you like what is drill music we started the word drill with our music like that's
00:01:31.500 let's do a drill we started that shit like how would you explain drill music to someone who doesn't
00:01:35.160 know um music that make you want to kind of get outside and go just the outside you know
00:01:43.780 make sense so so means what meaning you can go outside and cause mayhem kill somebody that's
00:01:53.200 literally what he's saying yeah it's pretty dark but i mean drill has now become like the
00:02:00.720 one of rap's mainstream sounds how how safe did you feel pretty safe honestly only because like
00:02:08.020 you know people don't understand this now like all hoods in america all like you know poor
00:02:13.360 neighborhoods that have music in them and have like micro influencers they recognize content as
00:02:18.520 a viable avenue for income you know back in the day if this was 2005 pre-youtube you could never go
00:02:23.700 to somebody's hood just as a as a warrior and and film with them but now there's kind of an informal
00:02:28.600 agreement that is that's why there's so many hood vlogs now is they recognize that being featured on
00:02:33.200 a predominant like a major youtube channel could be their take it out people are going to see them
00:02:38.080 it could be their uh you know um it could be their moment for more exposure and attention and especially
00:02:43.400 obloc is probably the most famous housing project in the u.s and i had a big youtube channel so it
00:02:47.920 just happened really fast the one of the craziest things you did is when you went to uh who's the
00:02:53.960 keys uh what was it kia's i'll break it down so the kia boys are a car a car we talked about on
00:02:59.900 the podcast go for the beautiful coastal town of bridgeport connecticut that's right they're in high
00:03:03.940 school uh for an update i heard the kia boys aren't stealing cars anymore part of that has to do with
00:03:10.720 the security update that was installed in the push to start system you can't do it anymore yeah you
00:03:14.520 can't do it anymore unless somebody hasn't gotten the software update but one of them's in jail
00:03:17.840 one of them just disappeared and the third guy is working at a factory and he bought his own car
00:03:22.480 and it's not a kia he bought an american-made car so that's the real message of this documentary
00:03:27.220 him being in the car rob when you're in the car where is it where you're in the car well i should
00:03:32.840 have put two and two together but um yeah they picked me up in a car and they're like yo let's
00:03:37.380 let's hang out and i got in the car and i'm sitting in the back seat and i thought about it and i'm like
00:03:41.760 wait a second this is a kia holy shit i'm in the back of a stolen car with three juveniles window with a
00:03:47.340 special tool and clears the broken glass a little bit before back up a little bit
00:03:50.800 so this is a crazy scene so back up like maybe uh yeah this shows what they were doing so they
00:03:59.860 picked me up at the mcdonald's in bridgeport i'm riding with them in the back of this car
00:04:03.700 sometimes i don't realize what's happening until it's too late for example and i don't want to jump
00:04:07.400 ahead too much but when i hopped the border i didn't realize that i had to hop it with the coyotes
00:04:10.660 until i was at the rio grande i'm sitting in the back of this uh stolen i think it was a mazda
00:04:14.780 actually not a kia and i'm thinking holy shit they stole this car and then i look around i look
00:04:19.560 in the uh the rearview mirror and there's a cop trailing us and so i say to these kia boys i say
00:04:24.360 hey guys pull over i gotta hop out because i'm thinking like i'm 25 these kids are 16 i don't
00:04:29.640 know what they're gonna charge me with and so and the kid's sitting in shotgun named swervo he looks
00:04:34.820 at me and he goes homie you shouldn't have hopped in the car if you weren't ready to do the dash
00:04:38.420 meaning you know go on a high-speed chase and so they turn the lights off and they just go 105 miles an
00:04:43.940 hour and the cop stops following them are you play i want to see this rob now i'm going to go back 30
00:04:48.960 seconds press play let me hear the audio for cops they said they'd had the car for over a week now
00:04:54.660 that's 105 miles an hour reported no no no not yet this is before the cops was getting hotter and
00:04:58.800 hotter to drive by the day no less than two minutes into our drive i began to hear police sirens
00:05:04.140 perhaps naively i assumed the kia boys would just pull over and try to talk their way out of it but no
00:05:11.600 swervo dipped onto a service road and hit the gas approaching 110 miles brenton
00:05:16.040 you're sitting outside or you're inside i'm sitting in the back seat
00:05:20.540 by some stroke of luck the cops stopped pursuing us i'm not sure why oh now i know why my adrenaline
00:05:28.660 the cops don't pursue time seems to move in hyper speed chases with stolen cars because they figure
00:05:32.880 like it's such a public safety risk you know what i mean if it's a residential street they don't want
00:05:36.460 two cars going 105 miles an hour because that could like kill a pedestrian or something so the
00:05:40.600 cops they abandoned us uh not abandoned us they stopped following us and then i told them to drop
00:05:45.600 me back off at the mcdonald's and then so my plan was like i want to document these guys but i don't
00:05:49.860 want to be in this situation again so i gave them my camcorder for the night and i said you guys i know
00:05:54.400 you guys are going to go steal cars i don't want to come with you i don't condone that but just do me
00:05:58.400 a favor and take this camcorder from best buy and just film yourself what a great concept yeah literally
00:06:05.120 yeah and were they honest enough that they brought it back to you yeah you want to watch the footage
00:06:08.460 do you have it yeah it's on it's in this video where's it at at the end or if you skip ahead
00:06:12.520 10 15 seconds right right there press play let's see what they this is then goes to put a cheap usb
00:06:18.800 cord into the ignition let's watch this i think it's got the update he says the car is a dud the driver
00:06:24.780 recently installed the anti-theft software so this is all they had to find something just a few cars
00:06:30.260 down he locates a 2010 kia forte and starts all over
00:06:34.160 oh he cut himself
00:06:43.400 after successfully activating the engine with a usb cord swervo's on the move that's me and i'm
00:06:53.580 following close behind genuinely curious as to what his plan is
00:06:57.280 swervo begins driving as fast as he possibly can then comes to a stop and tells me it's time to
00:07:07.440 turn up all right let's turn up
00:07:10.200 yeah so yeah that's their plan is they just start swerving they're really like 16 years old
00:07:21.360 like they swerve for like 20 minutes and then they just abandon the car you're joking so they don't go
00:07:26.260 sell the car they just well apparently like they sell it to their like older brothers for i think
00:07:30.740 250 then they go to the mall and get shoes and the weed socks and what do the older brothers do
00:07:36.320 crime real crime well not this not i'm not saying this isn't a real crime but like you know robbing
00:07:42.060 people you know just low-level stuff yeah they sell drugs i don't know what did you what was your
00:07:47.940 experience when you why when you're on the flight coming back what are you saying to yourself well i
00:07:51.420 didn't even put this in the documentary but i guess the cops had still been following us so i go back
00:07:55.400 to the red roof inn in in bridgeport and the cops knock on the door and they're like do you see
00:07:59.960 anybody with a stolen car around here and i was like dude i don't know what you're talking about
00:08:02.860 yeah i was wow i flew home so you didn't get arrested even when you put this up cops never
00:08:09.240 got a hold of you no they might after this podcast though so but i might have to this thankfully the
00:08:13.000 kia boys are no longer stealing kias but uh yeah well after that that was a classic example of just me
00:08:18.060 taking it too far in the field with the documentaries like if i was to look look back or looking forward
00:08:23.160 in my own life i'm not going to get in the back of any stolen cars with uh 16 year olds in connecticut
00:08:27.240 or any other state for that matter maybe in fort lauderdale maybe oh broward county's got some
00:08:32.600 pretty good drill music i don't know if you know about that is it really yeah it's called 954 fast
00:08:36.760 pitch it's like broward's kind of version of drill they take rap songs and they speed them up 1.25
00:08:42.140 times so it kind of sounds like alvin and the chipmunks but that's like the pompano beach like
00:08:45.980 waterhill sound oh shit you got to get one of those guys on the podcast you ever listen to ben shapiro
00:08:50.580 i i used to yeah for sure when i listen to him he sounds like he talks on 1.5 ben shapiro talks fast
00:08:56.100 his speed is so fast like you know when you watch a podcast on spotify you can listen on 3.5
00:09:02.000 and i can handle it the only person i can listen to 3.5 is is him yeah i have to put a 1.5 because
00:09:07.860 he's like i can't slow it down they got to go to 0.75 with him because he's so fast in a different
00:09:14.080 world he could be a rapper he tried to be a rapper did you hear his rap song i heard it
00:09:18.980 the guy he did it with is actually good what's his name what's the guy he actually did it with

00:09:57.000 favorite right wing mc right now right wing mc you like little pump yeah but i wouldn't call
