Speaker A:And then I.
Speaker A:Sometimes you get lucky.
Speaker A:I make like 2, 3, 4.
Speaker D:Just depends, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:And then as your stock increases, the, the profit increases.
Speaker A:Like I'd rather sell 10, like cheaper things and make 20 bucks on purchase.

Speaker A:Like, I was like, I.
Speaker A:With supreme, tough.

Speaker A:Just hat and then these glasses.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:Yeah, the margins on Chrome right now.
Speaker A:Reselling your hands on any of those jeans.
Speaker F:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Not for sure, because it's one of those things where, like, you buy the jeans for eight bands and someone sells your favorite bands, but you can sell it for 10, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:But you do need, like a lot of money to even, like.
Speaker C:Do you front it?
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:And I'm not gonna lie, if I were to get into that crazy for sure had to take some losses because I mean, shout taking some losses with shoes.
Speaker A:Having to learn.
Speaker A:Having to learn what sells, what doesn't.
Speaker D:Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Especially when it's used.
Speaker A:When it's used shoes.
Speaker A:I've talked.

Speaker A:For sure.
Speaker A:Like doing this.
Speaker C:Talk about some of those losses that you.
Speaker C:You've taken for the better of your betterment of your business, though.
Speaker C:Like, have you ever, you know, taken losses based on who the person is just for marketing aspects or other things like that?
Speaker A:Nah, for sure.
Speaker A:I mean, what I mean, that's part of the game.
Speaker A:Like, I mean.
Speaker A:Well, I've for sure done.
Speaker A:When it comes to marketing, I mean, like, you know, I'll be trying to do promotion, promote promo videos and linking up artists, linking up with influencers, trying to think of anybody.
Speaker A:And some people aren't cooler than others.
Speaker A:Some of them don't pay off as much as I thought.
Speaker D:You Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:But at the end day I just look at it like you know what I did?
Speaker A:It's whatever.
Speaker A:Just keep it pushing.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:But part of the business.
Speaker A:But when it comes like learning how to do my business.
Speaker A:It was for sure just like designer shoes and designers ass.
Speaker A:Like no cap.
Speaker A:If you're really trying to.
Speaker A:If you spent a thousand dollars at Burberry or the.
Speaker A:Don't be trying to sell that for anywhere close to that.
Speaker A:Because I swear I'll be buying used designer from people for like 100 bucks.
Speaker A:157.
Speaker A:Like even shoes use designer Balenciagas for like 150 and I'll be.
Speaker A:I'll be.
Speaker A:They'd be selling for like 250 max.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:That's the biggest I'd rather sell.
Speaker A:It comes to Jordans and Nikes and like that they hold more value than.
Speaker A:Than those type of.
Speaker C:No, definitely.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:But I learned that because I want.
Speaker A:I remember one time I traded a chrome art trucker and it was for these ugly ass Alexander McQueen's.
Speaker A:I swear to God they're so ugly.
Speaker A:You know just because the dude hella talked me into it because he was like bro, look at the price at a thousand.
Speaker A:I'm like thinking hella dumb like it like somebody my boy looked at me when I came home, he's like Bro, you're hella cheeseburger bro.
Speaker A:You call me a burger.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:I think I ended up selling that for 80 bucks.
Speaker A:No one wanted to buy that.
Speaker A:I just dump it.
Speaker A:No cap.
Speaker A:But I just turned to the game.
Speaker A:Ever since then I know what's up.
Speaker C:Well that's part of the business though.
Speaker F:Like you said you take losses sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.
Speaker A:But that's when I was coming up too.
Speaker C:Yeah, it helps you learn better.
Speaker C:For the next.
Speaker C:You know, the next time though.
Speaker C:What are some.
Speaker C:What are some of the biggest learning lessons you've had while dealing with this career?
Speaker C:You know like have people tried to either finesse or like has there been anything that has really just taught you more about business and as a person too for surely.
Speaker A:Yeah, I mean I'm never.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna lie like knock on wood.
Speaker A:I've never been like Robin like that.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:But that's because I just know how to move.
Speaker A:I just being drive moving smart.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:But we're in the bay and because I come from up north.
Speaker A:I used back in the Day I used to drive up from like Paloma area.
Speaker A:Could drive all the way up here for all day.
Speaker A:I have a Ford Explorer packed, there's videos you really look back for.
Speaker A:Explorer packed your shoes.
Speaker A:Driving around the bay, stopping hood to hood, place to place, just like, you know like slanging like drips.
Speaker A:Hella shit.
Speaker A:I'll come back like two bands though, I swear to God.
Speaker A:But I would always just drive smart, you know, be like careful and always like, just like, you know, like read the, read the conversation.
Speaker A:You know.
Speaker A:If you feel like your gut tells you no, they're good, your guts probably right.
Speaker A:But nah, I mean I only had like people like honestly there's been some rappers out there that been hella weird, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker A:But I don't like Jane names.
Speaker A:But I remember one time pulled up on someone and he was like, yeah, I'm gonna pay you when I get inside.
Speaker A:It was like 800 bucks.
Speaker A:I was like whatever.
Speaker A:But that's player price too.
Speaker A:Like I gave him like whatever.
Speaker A:I wasn't making much.
Speaker A:He got hella shells or whatever.
Speaker A:He came one inside, never paid me hell excuses like whatever bro.
Speaker A: that time they only had like: Speaker A:I was on the come up like for.
Speaker A:It was like one of the first artists I ever linked up with.
Speaker A:But like yeah, I just charged the game other than that.
Speaker A:I mean there's been like little things like hey bros, like hey, I'm gonna repost this and hella never does it.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:But that's why I tell every like people trying to come up, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like a lot of these people are not good business, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:When it comes to.
Speaker A:When I deal with the.
Speaker A:That was like on the cone.
Speaker A:Now when I deal with like bigger type of content, like more professional type people that really don't have it much.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No for sure.
Speaker C:Because you know that that shit's.
Speaker C:It goes a long way when you run a good business, you know, like even us, like we deal with it coming up and everything.
Speaker C:Like in our space right now, trying to come up like we deal with people kind of acting weird or certain.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker F:And you know, you just charge it.

Speaker C:Mutually beneficial.
Speaker C:It was always, you're opening it up for them, them and they're opening up their side of industry.

Speaker A:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, definitely.
Speaker C:That's the best feeling, bro.
Speaker C:Honestly, like, when we did, we did our interview with Bootleg Kevin, just the way he treated us and, like, how cool he was after.
Speaker C:And like, I've seen that trying to introduce us to other people and stuff.
Speaker C:It was like.
Speaker C:It was like just to see, like, somebody who.
Speaker C:They don't need to do anything for you.
Speaker C:Like, them being on the podcast was enough, you know, but to still just, you know, he hit us in the.
Speaker F:Dm, like, hey, collab on this post for us, you know, just.
Speaker C:We didn't even ask.
Speaker C:He just would tell us, like, to collab with them and things that were actually beneficial for us and.
Speaker C:No, yeah, it's super dope, you know, when people that are more established in your industries, like, actually lend a helping hand because that's.
Speaker C:That's what's gonna sit with all of us.
Speaker C:And we're gonna do the same things in the future, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:And it's dope because, like, even that always makes me remember, like, when there's other people coming up to always show.
Speaker D:Love, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I feel at the end of the day, it's like if you see like the hunger and you see someone and someone, like, show love.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Definitely.
Speaker A:Because like, a lot of times someone be trying to.
Speaker A:I've had times people trying to charge me like $3,000 in hello Lamb.
Speaker A:And sometimes they'd be smaller than other people.
Speaker A:I'm like, damn, bro.
Speaker A:Like, this person showed me hell love.
Speaker A:But you're out here trying to make me do all this and it's like, bro, like, f that.
Speaker A:You feel me?
Speaker A:And then I just like, I'm like, bruh, like, this ain't that deep.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, for sure.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Some people are hella like about her back.
Speaker A:I mean, I ain't jogging it, but personally, me around there would be doing this for money.
Speaker A:So I would just show love if I want to.
Speaker A:Sometimes, rarely I'll be like, yeah, I need something just because sometimes it is like, you gotta make money, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Which is understandable, you know, but honestly, like, if you move intentionally and you do things for the right reason or just to help other people shine and stuff, it ends up coming back tenfold, you know?
Speaker C:See so many people who've helped other people early on in their career, and.
Speaker E:It always comes to help and it's good business.
Speaker E:Yeah, it's good business.
Speaker E:And it's good karma and all that, bro.
Speaker C:No, for sure.
Speaker E:Like how you're saying like I guarantee all some of those people and like how we've been in the same position like you they're putting on for us.
Speaker E:I guarantee somewhere, some along along the lines someone did that for them, so they're just passing it on.
Speaker A:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker E:It's good juju.
Speaker F:It's like, it's like the.
Speaker F:What do they do where they buy the person behind you people pay it forward.
Speaker F:I'll do the same thing.
Speaker F:When I'm ever in a position, you.
Speaker C:Know, and somebody wants some type of assistance, I would do the same thing.
Speaker F:Because ultimately, you know, they're going to.
Speaker C:Be the person that carries a torch eventually.
Speaker A:And no, sure.
Speaker F:You want, you want to be on their side in a sense.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:Yeah, I always do that too.
Speaker A:I mean I've done, I've done hella little things.
Speaker A:I've done the give up bacon back to the homeless.
Speaker A:Yeah, I know.
Speaker A:I think one of my first viral videos, when I bless one of good friends, she's a single mom.
Speaker A:I blessed her and her kids like free shoes.
Speaker A:And I'm gonna have a little bro.
Speaker A:I mean every time, even the other day I was just walking by, I was getting some tacos in Oakland.
Speaker A:I don't even know what taco truck, but I was, it was late night and I seen a, a homeless guy.
Speaker A:I seen, I was like, hey bro, you hungry?
Speaker A:Boom bomb some tacos, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Showing love, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Because not a lot, not everyone is.
Speaker A:Was as blessed to even be in.
Speaker D:Positions, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Something really just start from nothing, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:You never know.
Speaker A:You feel just because you see someone struggling, you can't just assume that like.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:That they deserve it or something.
Speaker F:Yeah.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:You can't always like assume that.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker A:Because God be watching all the time.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:And karma is a real thing, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:When you're a no for sure, you do right, you get right done by you.
Speaker C:If you do wrong, like people are going to turn on you just as quickly.
Speaker A:Sometimes even getting done wrong is like a blessing.
Speaker C:Oh yeah.
Speaker A:Because sometimes they make you learn.
Speaker A:And you know I'm saying you just.
Speaker A:It'll come back in a different way.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:We all been done wrong.
Speaker A:I'm not going to lie.
Speaker F:Word takes the people out of your.
Speaker C:Life that you didn't need in it.
Speaker C:Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like that always teaches you something, you know.
Speaker A:And if you're learning so many people is even doing this because being young and from a small town where like not a lot of people do what I do, but yeah, for sure.
Speaker E:I mean you sound like you got a pretty level head on your shoulders, bro.
Speaker E:Like your mind's in the right spot, you're doing good business with good people.
Speaker E:Talk a little bit of like how, how you got that mindset?
Speaker E:Was it like the upbringing or, or did it mold you along the way?
Speaker E:How'd you be like that?
Speaker A:Honestly, just seeing my parents like work so hard on the dealership.
Speaker A:Growing up like 6am waking up, not getting home to like 7.
Speaker A:Like, just like seeing like my dad working two jobs and so he would like my.
Speaker A:He would like go to work his other job in the city.
Speaker A:My mom would take care of the dealership and I, I couldn't like stay home alone so I would just be at the dealership like all day.
Speaker A:So I think just always being around.
Speaker D:Like business, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Because my parents, they came from like whole different like country.
Speaker A:Came here and started new life and like I'm not gonna lie, like I seen it like we started off on each other part, now we have a house and other.
Speaker A:So just seeing that just kind of always motivated me and just I think just always made me like study how people do like business and just kind of be sometimes just trying to be direct.
Speaker A:But there, I mean I just learned.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Over the time like you dealt with.
Speaker A:I've dealt with shitty people.
Speaker A:I've been scammed like I've had people like lie your face or just be hella weird.
Speaker A:Like people act telling nice and the whole time they're really like on some malicious like intent.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:And then honestly, bro.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's honestly just that bro, just.
Speaker A:I'm just learning and then for sure just.
Speaker A:Oh then oh my God, I forgot about this.
Speaker A:It was a big part of my life.
Speaker A:I remember when I was, when I was younger, when I was.
Speaker A:I ended up doing like technically two years of freshman year, first year of high school.
Speaker A:I ended up getting expelled, hella got sent to county school, ended up getting sent away to a camp out in Tucson, Arizona.
Speaker A:For a year in my life, no phone.
Speaker A:I only talked to my parents like once a.
Speaker A:Once a Month for the first two months, and eventually I got two phone calls after, like, four months.
Speaker A:It was a whole program.
Speaker A:It was a year program.
Speaker A:It was out in a ranch.
Speaker A:And that honestly made me grow a lot, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Especially being taken away from, like, society in a way, and just kind of just having to be there.
Speaker A:A bunch of my boys, I still talked to a couple of them and.
Speaker A:But, yeah, that really just made me mature a lot, having to live alone for a year and just having to, like.
Speaker A:But, like, honestly, when I got out after a year, it was hard to adapt, for sure.
Speaker A:But I was sure way more smarter than a lot of people because I had to sit there constantly dealing with therapy groups like anger management and, like, all this that I hate at the time.
Speaker A:But I think it was a blessing in the long run, you know?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Taught you a lot about, like, emotional intelligence and things, for sure.
Speaker A:Hell, yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, at first it was hard, though.
Speaker A:You're like.
Speaker A:I'm saying, they're like, damn, hell.
Speaker A:He's like, I think 14.
Speaker A:I'm like, what the I do to get here?
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:And I was just like.
Speaker A:Then I got out, and then I was like, man, that just went by a blur.
Speaker A:And then, I don't know, just.
Speaker A:At first I thought everyone was gonna look at me different, but then I really had to grow myself again, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, people, when I got up, no one just thought I was gonna be instant because I came back healthy, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I came back in a good head, but everyone still thought of the old.
Speaker D:Me, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Because that's the last impression I gave.
Speaker D:Them, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, definitely.
Speaker C:And talk about, you know, honestly being so young.
Speaker C:What separates somebody who's young and successful oftentimes is somebody who's willing to invest in themselves, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:And obviously, that's something that's big for your story.
Speaker C:Like, you had to be willing to invest in yourself to get a return out of these things.
Speaker C:What.
Speaker C:What do you think?
Speaker C:What do you credit that to?
Speaker C:Like, you know, the fearlessness to be able to say, like, I'm putting money on the line.
Speaker C:Like, a lot of young kids in high school struggle to do that, right?
Speaker C:Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, not for sure.
Speaker A:Honestly, he was just taking that risk and just.
Speaker A:I'd rather spend money on inventory for my business than money on myself, you know what I'm saying, like, even if I end up taking a loss or I just take that risk, you know, I'm saying, like, I rather cash out on a hella, like, especially for me when I'm out here doing like buying stuff off people.
Speaker A:And I rather, if I say I'm up like two bands for that day, I rather spend all that on new inventory that could potentially make more money.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:In the long run.
Speaker A:Yeah, because it's like, I just, like, I just say take that risk, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Because I'm so.
Speaker A:I was so young at that point.
Speaker A:I didn't have to pay bills.
Speaker A:I don't have to do much.
Speaker A:Like, I have my car and.
Speaker A:But I'm not out here, like, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I was like, man, I might as well use this free money instead of spending it at the mall for like a whole new fit.
Speaker A:Let's just, you know, I'm saying just.
Speaker A:Just cash out for this 30 day run.
Speaker A:Just keep buying and just taking that risk with that money and just trying to make at least flip, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, definitely.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Really?
Speaker A:Just honestly taking the risk, like.
Speaker A:Well, it's like I seen my dad growing up.
Speaker A:He was by a car, taking that risk right there and flip it.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:No, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker A:That's dope, bro.
Speaker E:You ever get into all that, like, you'll be seeing it going viral.
Speaker E:The coin flip.
Speaker A:Hell yeah.
Speaker A:Hell yeah.
Speaker A:I've always been.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna lie, I need to start doing vlogs.
Speaker A:I think I coin flipped.
Speaker A:Literally, like four days ago.
Speaker A:It was either I was on my Snapchat.
Speaker A:If anyone was like me, I said just B, A, Y, S T, O, C, K. But I did a coin flip for a thousand or twelve hundred.
Speaker A:And then I was like, I ended up winning.
Speaker A:I've hit a coin flip for like some Travis Scott sometimes.
Speaker A:It was like not that long ago free or 700, and I lost.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker F:What's the biggest coin flip loss?
Speaker A:Yeah, that one.
Speaker F:Do it hurt?
Speaker F:Like, you're just like.
Speaker A:I was just like, okay.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker A:Once I turned 21, I start going to casinos because we have graying out there.
Speaker A:I was like, it.
Speaker A:I was looking at, like, taking charges of the game.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I'm not saying no one's against.
Speaker F:Me.
Speaker F:Yeah.
Speaker F:When you start gambling, you'd be like, yeah, all right.
Speaker A:I was looking like this.
Speaker F:I lost it, but I could have won it.
Speaker A:It's like it.
Speaker A:Especially when you come up big and then you look lose hella big the next time.
Speaker A:It was just free money in my eyes.
Speaker F:That was the money I won last time.
Speaker A:Yeah, I give it back.
Speaker A:I bought it for a little bit.
Speaker A:That for sure is something else.
Speaker C:That's dope, bro.
Speaker B:What's your favorite table game?
Speaker B:Like what's your favorite thing to do at the casino?
Speaker A:Baccarat or blackjack?
Speaker A:Blackjack.
Speaker A:At first I mentioned I learned bakara.
Speaker C:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker A:Drones.
Speaker A:I want to hit up my first dragon.
Speaker A:I was like, all right, this is Liz, bro.
Speaker F:One of our homies.
Speaker F:Had to drag it off like 25 or 50 bucks, hitting for like hundreds of dollars.
Speaker F:I was like, holy.
Speaker F:I won.
Speaker A:So what?
Speaker A:25 times 40?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:You walked out of like 300, 400 after.
Speaker C:Everything is crazy.
Speaker A:No?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Other than that, I mean, what else?
Speaker A:Honestly, bro, it's just doing the whole content and just being young and then top of that, juggling like my personal life.
Speaker A:And then they like, obviously I was with females, having had hella friends, fellow hella friends, like, but the whole time I used to like just go by myself, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I don't have a lot of friends.
Speaker A:One thing I really did was just cut off a lot of people and just kind of like focus on myself.
Speaker A:Like I would really drive from here to San Francisco, Minnesota, drive from here to Santa Cruz to pull up on a show.
Speaker A:I was always tip by myself and I just like juggling all that, especially being like people came back out of nowhere because I mean, I feel like people always laughed at what I used to do because it's like I'll come from a town where there ain't really no one, bro.
Speaker A:Like doing a lot, especially when it comes to content.
Speaker A:Like there is people that are actually popping from where I'm from, but they don't rep it, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:They're probably in a different lane doing some other.
Speaker A:They're not really like Bay Area based.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:They're probably just like a tick tocker or some like that, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker F:I know.
Speaker B:You know, after this conversation that we've had so far, like we've been talking about, you know, you selling shoes, you getting content and stuff like that.

Speaker A:If that, you know, I'm saying bless people with some Anthony.
Speaker A:They're repping the brand, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, like this is based on.
Speaker A:But you wouldn't know this is based on, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Only way you would know is if you see my logo on the, on.
Speaker D:The sleeve, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, I'm not really, I'm not really doing it just to like represent me.
Speaker A:It's the day I feel like based on.
Speaker A:Because I got a logo, but it's also like a phase.
Speaker D:Like it's me, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker E:What influenced you style wise, growing up?
Speaker E:Like what, who, who'd you look up to?
Speaker E:Like, damn, they dress hella clean.
Speaker E:Like their face is always fire.
Speaker E:Who gave you that inspiration?
Speaker A:Honestly, I'd always see like asap Rocky, like Lil Wayne and all them.
Speaker A:Growing up, I never had the swag or like the sessions for real.
Speaker A:So it was like kind of hard for me to put that on, but I always like, respected it.
Speaker A:But I think back in the day, since we're True Religions, bro, I was wearing True Religions, a pro club, like some Js.
Speaker A:And I was like that.
Speaker A:But that was simple.
Speaker A:But then when I kind of like realized like, this is like I'll play, I started just being like more like myself, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, I used to, like, I used to always just try to dress hella different, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I wasn't always trying to always be matchy stylish.
Speaker A:You know what I got like, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker E:That's dope, bro.
Speaker A:That's dope.
Speaker A:Nah.
Speaker A:But also growing up, one thing is like the Paloma area for sure, that always like kind of got me like tapped in over the whole rap and the whole rap community.
Speaker A:Other was because we had the Phoenix.
Speaker A:The Phoenix Theater in Paloma.
Speaker A:So like we.
Speaker A:I remember my first ever rap show when I first started with rap was mozzy came when I was in seventh grade.
Speaker A: y were first popping out like: Speaker A:And then like, I don't know, I kind of just got tapped in.
Speaker A:Like I always was into the Bay music and just was hip with it.
Speaker A:Like always slapping anything else popping.
Speaker A:Mike Sherman at the time was going crazy.
Speaker A:Jibo, he still is going crazy.
Speaker A:But everyone like Sean Mafia went through.
Speaker A:They wanted to come up.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:And that kind of died down.
Speaker A:And then they.
Speaker A:I think they're just back up.
Speaker A:Started back, I think.
Speaker A:I think that we had db.
Speaker A:I was a DB show.
Speaker A:They had to do each other a little bit.
Speaker A:Little beans they bang.
Speaker A:That'll be.
Speaker A:I think that's already started.
Speaker A:I think Little DZ and little Killer coming up.
Speaker A:I don't know that having the Phoenix there just kind of kept it like more Bay Area for sure.
Speaker C:Is that.
Speaker C:Is that like a big part of how you were getting in touch with some of these artists?
Speaker C:Was going to their shows and touching them in person or were you using social media to leverage like those connections to get in to touch with?
Speaker A:Now before I was based Doc, I would just go to that.
Speaker A:I was a fan.
Speaker A:Like, I was like Literally a fan in the crowd and I would be like, damn, like only one day I got to meet them.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Yeah, I was just like, literally just fan.
Speaker A:Like no cap.
Speaker A:I was just a fan.
Speaker A:And then I think to this day, I mean, they just kind of started doing route.
Speaker A:I think they.
Speaker A:I think I talked.
Speaker A:I met a little cool donor guys to kick it there at that spot a little like they can skate there and when it's like there's not shows going around.
Speaker A:But I talked to them.
Speaker A:They stopped doing the rap shows and.
Speaker A:Or the hip hop shows because it was just hella dangerous.
Speaker A:I don't know the cops, but they just started again.
Speaker A:But now, I mean now it's either out of show.
Speaker A:Like I for sure show love, but nah, but I really would just link up people out here in the bay and okay, that was just like growing up.
Speaker A:Like, that's why.
Speaker A:Yeah, what.
Speaker A:I would go a lot and it kept me like, like being like, oh, this is lit.
Speaker C:That's lit, that's lit.
Speaker C:So do you use.
Speaker C:You use social media for the most part to get tapped in with.
Speaker C:With the artists you work with and the.
Speaker C:The content creators and yeah, social media.
Speaker A:Honestly, just how I really came up was just like, y' all know, like stepped up.
Speaker A:Like I show love to.
Speaker A:Like, I first started showing up to my dog buddy bands from the city.
Speaker A:I pulled up on him and eventually I started like meeting bigger people just from like, like.
Speaker A:Because you can't just start from zero to honey, like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I can't just be out here barely doing content, tap in with like a.
Speaker A:Someone hella famous and expect them to show me love, you know?
Speaker A:I'm saying you got to start from somewhere, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:So I was just starting up and like, over time, my connects and like my like me networking and got me open doors to bigger things, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, I never would have met someone like, hey Boogie photos if I met Lil Pete.
Speaker A:Yeah, I would have never met Mike Sharon if I didn't meet.
Speaker A:I think Sean F. Sean Nev hooked that one up.
Speaker A:There's hella like type of.
Speaker A:That's like.
Speaker A:It stems from me and someone else, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I met Jaybo.
Speaker A:I was really there when JBO filled Boogeyman at that Santa Cruz show.
Speaker A:He filmed it and I was like, well, I didn't think that was gonna be hit, but I met EBK JBO just from literally tapping in with Sean left again.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna.
Speaker D:Sean.
Speaker A:They have said some plays coming up.
Speaker A:Yeah, he's from Fresno.
Speaker A:509.
Speaker A:Is that first one.
Speaker A:There you go.
Speaker C:Bro has a lot.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker C:Because he do do his own music.
Speaker C:He do videos and then he'd do.
Speaker F:Like shows for people and everything.
Speaker F:So.
Speaker F:Yeah, he got some coming, right?
Speaker A:No, yeah, he'd be doing.
Speaker A:Hell, he'd be doing the show, I doubt.
Speaker A:I hella want to get into booking my own shows and Me too, bro.
Speaker A:Like booking a venue and just kind of getting artists and just make them like that.
Speaker A:But I want to do it for like Paloma San Rose area.
Speaker A:Like, be the.
Speaker A:Be the main guy out there.
Speaker A:I think that's for sure one in my books.
Speaker A:Like, attack that and take it as a challenge.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, definitely.
Speaker C:You got to, bro.
Speaker C:You got to use your connections already.
Speaker A:Because my 21st birthday last year, dude, like, when the boy just got out from SOB the boy and I had him pull up to my a party I threw and like, perform and that was cracking.
Speaker A:And I feel like, damn, bro.
Speaker A:People.
Speaker A:People showed up.
Speaker A:I tried $5 at the door.
Speaker A:I think I made like 600 that night just off that.
Speaker A:Oh, $5 only for guys.
Speaker A:Girls are free.
Speaker A:You know how to bring the chicas.
Speaker A:How to bring the chicas.
Speaker A:That were you feeling, but yeah, so.
Speaker F:You get the guys.
Speaker A:Yeah, but now it's dope.
Speaker A:I was like, it quick, quick cheese.
Speaker E:I mean, so you're talking about, like, you want to throw them shows and what else besides the clothing brand?
Speaker A:What.
Speaker E:What are your like, next endeavors that you're.
Speaker E:You're trying to pursue?
Speaker A:Honestly booking shows and is one of them clothing brand.
Speaker A:I am trying to.
Speaker A:Hopefully by this year, I'm gonna open up a private shop.
Speaker A:Like a private shopping experience.
Speaker A:Like a little private studio where people can actually pull up on me and shop.
Speaker A:Not just like famous people, like anyone.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:You set an appointment, pull up shop.
Speaker A:Because I want to be more like, accessible to everyone.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Damn, that's lit like chrome hearts type.
Speaker A:And I want to start vlogging more.
Speaker A:Like, honestly attacking more at YouTube side, like picking up the camera.
Speaker A:Because I feel like some days be like, honestly, hella dope.
Speaker A:But it's hard because I can't really.
Speaker A:I'm not really a vlogger.
Speaker A:I really just kind of be chilling.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:It's just me pounding.
Speaker A:I edit my own videos.
Speaker A:I record everything.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I pull up.
Speaker A:I don't have a team right now.
Speaker A:I'm keeping it.
Speaker A:But I think that's good.
Speaker A:Like, I'll eventually find someone.
Speaker A:It's just hard to trust someone.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:100.
Speaker A:Because then they represent you at the end of the day, and I feel like it's hard.
Speaker C:They have to care about you, you, your and your brand just as much, if not more than you at the same time, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:To make sure that works.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:No, definitely.
Speaker C:But not with the.
Speaker C:With the private little storefront.
Speaker C:And that should help a lot with content.
Speaker C:Look at, like, Cool Kicks and the.
Speaker C:They're able to pump out just from, like, the storefront.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:And the only thing that was hella hard for me to do it is because a lot of, like, resellers, shoe stores are getting robbed, and especially in the bay.
Speaker A:So it's like.
Speaker A:It's like I'm like, damn.
Speaker A:Especially because someone at my name, I feel like I'll have a lot of.
Speaker A:It's just a lot of like, I'm like, damn.
Speaker A:But if I have a private shop, I don't gotta pay for all that.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Or worry about as much.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, no one's gonna know it's there.
Speaker A:I mean, unless you've been there.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:And I'm just trying to figure out the location.
Speaker A:I was like, I kind of want to do it in Petaluma just because it's close to me and I can just keep it simple and kind of start a whole movement out there.
Speaker A:Because I've had people that, like, just wanted to pull up for support.
Speaker A:People drive an hour.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:And hella, I sometimes drove out to people for like an hour or two.
Speaker A:So it's like, damn.
Speaker A:Because it's like, if I do in the city or the bay, it's like, there's already so much out here.
Speaker A:It's like, I don't know.
Speaker A:But no, actually I might just do two.
Speaker A:Like, you have two spots.
Speaker A:I'm gonna use one.
Speaker A:But for sure.
Speaker C:And what about with the content where you don't want to go with that?
Speaker A:Honestly, I need a thing.
Speaker A:I want this vlog, bro.
Speaker A:I need to just get out of my shell and just kind of vlog and, like, do that.
Speaker A:I think vlogging would be dope.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:Because sometimes, I mean, there's days where, like, I'm not even recording enough.
Speaker A:I'll pull up on a bunch of like dope ass people, like artists and on some casual like I around me, like three artists in one day, like selling them and.
Speaker A:But it's like so that it's like iffy to me because it's like it'll be dope for the vlog kind of people.
Speaker A:I want to see that.
Speaker A:But it's like when I, I build connections with these type of like people, especially when they got clout where it's like I'm not doing it for the class.
Speaker A:I don't like putting this camera at their face and like it's more personal and that we're actually like friends, like we're cool.
Speaker A:You feel me?
Speaker A:Like if you don't even.
Speaker A:He don't gotta worry about me trying.
Speaker D:To like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, definitely, like, it's just respect.
Speaker A:I just respect like their space.
Speaker A:Especially like sometimes where like they stay.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:For us, I mean we, we try to get into vlogging a little bit too and stuff.
Speaker C:And for us it has been a little difficult just not having like somebody.
Speaker F:Who'S always has the camera on or something like that.
Speaker F:Because you always have to think like.
Speaker A:Oh, let me get the camera or.
Speaker F:Like, oh, let me put it away.
Speaker F:Or like just so many different things.
Speaker F:It's really like an art to know what to shoot, when to shoot, like get the right moments.
Speaker F:Because like the best moments we always miss.
Speaker F:We always get like the, the standard like, oh, what's going on guys?
Speaker F:But we never get like the funny or whatever.
Speaker F:It's like if you had somebody just right there recording the whole time and then it wouldn't feel as awkward too because it wouldn't feel like camera in their face.
Speaker F:It'll feel like having to carry the camera around too.
Speaker B:And then it's like you don't have.
Speaker A:A designated camera cameraman.
Speaker B:You just gotta carry the camera around.
Speaker A:Yeah, I know.
Speaker A:That's the one thing too.
Speaker A:Then it's like, damn, where you at?
Speaker F:For real?
Speaker A:It's more dope to have someone follow you around.
Speaker A:But then there's like also downsides, like it has to be something cool.
Speaker A:At least not a film.
Speaker A:Or like someone that's like, knows how to like be cool because you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like I can't just be pulling up on someone and they don't know how to act.
Speaker A:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, and that's a big thing.
Speaker A:You gotta, you gotta end out or something.
Speaker A:Like, you know what I'm saying, hella, like, unprofessional.
Speaker B:These streamers be dealing with that on a daily.
Speaker A:No, I bet.
Speaker B:Can't they?
Speaker B:Sometimes they.
Speaker B:I mean, I don't really be watching that many stream.
Speaker B:I just be like, whatever.
Speaker B:Like, it's on, like, Instagram and stuff like that.
Speaker A:But no, that's obviously the same way.
Speaker B:You see, like, all these cameramans and stuff.
Speaker A:Like, they.
Speaker B:They be, like, knowing, like you said, they'd be knowing when to get the good clips, and they'd be like, oh, we gonna clip that.
Speaker B:Like, you know, so honestly, the streamers.
Speaker A:And that's a whole entire different.
Speaker B:Different zone.
Speaker A:And no, for sure.
Speaker A:Especially filming content.
Speaker A:Once you, like, post it, people got to realize, like.
Speaker A:Like, you might record it, but once you add sound effects and edit, it just, like, makes it look that much cool.
Speaker A:You feel me?
Speaker A:Like, it might feel awkward at first, the camera.
Speaker A:Especially when I have people that aren't used to making content.
Speaker A:I'll have them in my skits or some.
Speaker A:I'll feature them.
Speaker A:Or sometimes I reach out to, like, models and like, hey, let's do a skit.
Speaker A:You feel me?
Speaker A:Like, I'll bless you with whatever this, like, this collab.
Speaker A:And when I pull up on them, they're like, oh, I never really do this.
Speaker A:I'm like, it's good.
Speaker A:Like, don't trip.
Speaker A:Like, once, it might feel awkward, but once you really edit and.
Speaker A:And that sound effects, it just, like, it'll all make sense.
Speaker A:It'll be like.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:It'll come together.
Speaker A:Like, that's what's one thing too.
Speaker A:Like, it might look awkward, me holding the.
Speaker A:Like, a camera like this.
Speaker A:But, like, once you slap a little song over or like, whatever, like, everything is fun, it feels better.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker E:More natural.
Speaker F:And that's another thing I feel like, for everybody, like, even coming on the Potter stuff, some people will be like, oh, was I talking about heads too much?
Speaker F:Or, like, worried too much about, like.
Speaker F:Like, even us, we thought that at first, but it's like, bro, nobody watches it just zooms in on you the whole time.
Speaker F:It's just looking at you the whole time.
Speaker F:Like, they're watching it for the whole experience.
Speaker F:Like you said, the sound.
Speaker C:They're watching it for what's going on.
Speaker C:They're probably looking at everything as a whole.
Speaker A:They're not subtitles.
Speaker F:And, yeah, they're not as, like, scoped in just on you as you are scoped in on you, you know, for sure.
Speaker A:Once you find your Style with content.
Speaker A:Like the people that follow you, they're like.
Speaker A:With it.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Nah, for sure.
Speaker A:That's one thing for sure.
Speaker A:Content, it's like, like you got to just, just do it.
Speaker E:Just do it and do it.
Speaker A:Put it out there.
Speaker E:Let the people see it.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Flood it.
Speaker C:Cuz if you don't, nobody notices.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:What other questions y' all got?
Speaker B:I would say like, what's some.
Speaker B:What's some things you.
Speaker B:At least you know, some of your following that you know, might not know about you or some, some that you know you.
Speaker B:You got in your pocket or something like that?
Speaker B:It doesn't have to be like.
Speaker A:I mean, I mean, I think a lot of people when I first got.
Speaker A:They actually thought I was like, like white and I really was like full Mexican.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Yeah, like I really.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:It's because my mom's.
Speaker A:My mom is Weta, but she comes from.
Speaker A:My dad comes Tabasco.
Speaker A:So my dad like, I'm just like, came out white.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker A:Like white skin.
Speaker A:But I feel like that's one thing.
Speaker A:I feel like it was kind of annoying at first.
Speaker A:I'm like, bro, whatever.
Speaker A:But other than that, I think, I mean, I think everyone that's been there since day one, they kind of recognized it.
Speaker A:But I feel a lot of people get like confused with what I do sometimes.
Speaker A:They probably just think that I just make content.
Speaker A:But then they'll see me like pull up on like a rapper, like some of them shoes.
Speaker A:So sometimes I feel like people getting mixed up and because I do do skits and hella, that has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker A:And I also like will do like videos, like trying to do things people and because that's how I really started.
Speaker A:And then I was like, man, I need to do something funnier, like something different.
Speaker A:But that just did lit for sure.
Speaker A:I don't know, just doing different things.
Speaker E:What's one of the biggest lessons that the game has taught you so far, bro?
Speaker A:Don't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker A:For sure.
Speaker A:I mean, what I pulled up on a bunch of people having it, like thinking that they would like be way different.
Speaker A:You get there and it's like, bro, Instagram's a joke and a day like Instagram is not real, bro.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:I pulled up on people that look like they have a lot of money or like hella cool.
Speaker A:And then I pull up on them in person.
Speaker A:It's like a whole different story, bro.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:So I feel like just don't, don't judge a book by its cover and like in the day, keep it more.
Speaker D:Real, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, I feel like a lot of people come to me like, hey bro, I'm gonna buy this off you.
Speaker A:I'm like, bro, I think they.
Speaker A:I don't give a about all that.
Speaker A:Like, as long as you're supporting and follow me, I'm happy, bro.
Speaker A:You don't gotta stop at me in the day.
Speaker A:I don't like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, it's one of those things where it's like sometimes people be living like a false Persona.
Speaker A:I definitely noticed that on Instagram.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And it's like, it's cool and all.
Speaker A:Like, I just charge it, but I for sure remember, like, dude, like, that just reminds me to like always put real life first and what to show other people, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Yeah, like, I don't gotta always stunt on just.
Speaker A:Just to st gram, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Because I know a lot of people that they'll around cash out and next, you know, they're selling me all their.
Speaker A:And I feel bad, but it's like, damn.
Speaker A:Because they couldn't make the bill that much.
Speaker A:Like, bro, like in the day, it's like, don't buy something you can't afford.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Just for the.
Speaker A:Just so you can look good, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Be smart then any money.
Speaker A:I know a lot of people that don't even dress hella.
Speaker A:Don't even dress that like crazy, but be having hella money in that, you.
Speaker D:Know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, you don't even know they're stacked.
Speaker A:So once seeing that humbled me for sure, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Then I pull like a Persona.
Speaker A:I'll pull up, dripped up.
Speaker A:That's just me, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:But I'll around and like, I'll wear something and sell it.
Speaker A:Like I don't give a. I'm not out here like keeping a whole collection.
Speaker A:Some people, sometimes people.
Speaker A:Some people really, their ego's high that they feel like it's embarrassing to sell.
Speaker A:I'm like, bro, it's not that deep.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:As long as you have like your.
Speaker B:Cars nowadays, you have so much access to sell.
Speaker B:Like, oh yeah, you can sell anything anywhere for sure.
Speaker B:It's million ways to make money off clothes.

Speaker F:Become your new girl.
Speaker F:You could get something else just office, so why not?
Speaker A:Nah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:For sure.
Speaker A:Like, I feel like that's the biggest thing.
Speaker A:This is like, for sure.
Speaker A:Because I mean, shot pull up on rappers that thought were hella had it good and then you pull up on them, it's like, bro, a whole different story is like, bro, like, I don't know.
Speaker A:I'm for sure seen, like, because growing up, I used to like, think that she was all like, all this fool's rapping about this, so he for sure has it.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:But then you look, I met them and I'm like, bruh, it's not.
Speaker A:It's a whole different story.
Speaker A:Yeah, I'm not even talking about anyone particular.
Speaker A:It's just like, you know, it's just like the whole, like, this is what it is.
Speaker C:I got a question for you, bro.

Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:There's been days I want to quit.
Speaker A:There's been days I don't want to pose.
Speaker A:There's been days where I want to quit Instagram because I've dealt with it all.
Speaker A:Like, I've dealt with being recognized.
Speaker A:I've dealt with bad experiences of being recognized.
Speaker A:Like people trying to just like, be on some weird, like, talk and just hell, a little shit.
Speaker A:I mean, I one time I never told anyone this, but one time, I am right now fighting a little case because someone tried to pull up on me, talking hella shit, recording me.

Speaker A:I met a scout.
Speaker A:I didn't know he was a fan or not, no cat.
Speaker A:And yeah, he ended up.

Speaker A:I mean, bro, sometimes I do business where I could run off with, like 10 bands and be like, a piece of.
Speaker A:But there's times where it's like, bro, I gotta keep it cool.
Speaker A:Like, it's like, bro, like.

Speaker A:Like, especially when you want to level up.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, what?
Speaker A:Why would I cut this door off, just make this little, like, whatever money when in the future I can end up making more with him, you know what I'm saying?
