The way "Ruthless" started, I mean Critch was a way bigger artist than me.
So, I mean he just hit me up.
He just reached out and was like "Yo, let's get a session in."
So he pulled up to the studio and it was just.
The chemistry right there was just, you feel me, we knew it was a hit.
I don't know.
There's some beats that you just be like "Damn a'ight I been goin through beats too long,
lemme just rap on it and see what happens."
And then there's some beats you be like "Nah, lemme... this is the one."
Know what I'm sayin?
So "Ruthless" was one of those beats where it's not like I'm just like "Damn...
I been in the studio looking for beats too long.”
I'm just like, "Nah, this is it."
I been through a lot of stuff.
It's like, If you my brother, and we going through a situation, I'm gonna stay with you
until the end.
Treat me like the money wasn't here.
Gimme the same loyalty, y'know what I'm saying?
And I'm gonna give you the same thing.
Money's not gonna change me and I just hope it don't change you.
If you my man, people will leech on you just to get to me, so I'm tryna keep people aware
of that.
I tell my friends that all the time, like, Who's this person?
I never seen you chillin’ with him.
Loyalty is everything.
That's why I said I stay on my day ones, and tryna be with my day ones until I die.
You feel me?
That’s our group.
I don't need no new friends.
I definitely got a lot more responsibilities but I like it though, 'cause I like being
the man in power, and that's what I was working for and I got it.
So it's like now, who's telling me what, you get me?
Who's telling me what?
They don't wanna see the young boy win, like, I don't even, it's crazy bro, I don't know
where the hatred come from it's like 'ssss', damn bro, like, I mean, hate if you want I'm
doing my thing for me, but it's just like damn bro, like why?
I started out with making music next to a fan and a bed and a closet.
Shout to my big bro, his name Murder, he gave me the keys to his crib, he had this studio
in his crib, I learned how to mix my own music, and I was working, working every day.
I'm definitely thinking about a whole lot of investments.
I wanna get into real estate.
If you hold your chicken it's not going nowhere, so I'm just not, I don't know what's the right
investment yet, but it's something up here.
Nah, my mom won't go nowhere, I ain't gonna lie, when the weather starts getting a little
warmer she gonna try a dip, but right now she a house lady.
She like being in the crib watching TV and stuff like that, but I'm tryna get her out.
Sometimes I listen to music, other artists, and it's like I don't feel it, I don't feel
it's genuine, like that's real pain, feel me?
Like I really was on the block jugging and it's like I talk about it, but I talk about
it more in a happy way.
But it's like that's real shit.
If I could say something to all my guys locked up, I'd just say keep your head up, man.
This system, it's not built for nobody, you know what I'm saying.
So it's hard in there.
So that's why I try to make music cause I even get jail calls to this day and they'll
be like, "Yo T, we heard you on the radio," bros be so proud.
And it be like damn bro, you need to come home.
We miss you.
Desiigner that's my big bro, we was talking about the broads in Atlanta, shit like that
you feel me?
So that was just like let me shout out bro, shit like that, you know what I'm saying?
Get off my - nah if I could say anything to the dick riders I'd just say I ain't worried
about y'all.
I be seeing comments be like, "yo, he dress so regular," cause that's fly to me.
I ain't never have to- all the real, real drip, I never had to do that.
I feel comfortable in a white tee and some Nike's and if you don't know, I got Nike's
on right now.
I just don't got the white tee on.
