00:00Hey, I thought it was all over.
00:04What's up, Douggie?
00:06Hey, Issa.
00:07You know, it's been a little while since you and I have had a chat.
00:10Oh, really?
00:11Probably since, like, your last EP, All the Places We'll Go.
00:14Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:15Yeah, I've been getting some calls.
00:16Oh.
00:17People are a little bit worried about you.
00:18Not worried.
00:19And I know that I was kind of that outlet for you.
00:20You were.
00:21So why don't you just tell me what's been going on?
00:23Okay.
00:25Remember old dude from 2019?
00:27Nice, clean nigga.
00:28Did me dirtier than laundry.
00:30Took a scroll through his IG just to get a DM from his wifey.
00:35I was so confused.
00:36What should she do?
00:37She didn't know about me, and I didn't know about Sue.
00:40I opened up the messages and had to hit the Zoom.
00:42Turns out the girl was really a dude.
00:45Nigga think he slicked back till I slicked back.
00:48Got my lick back.
00:49Turned a nigga to a knick-knack.
00:50I moved on, dropped a couple of songs, and then I went and got signed.
00:54Now it's 2021.
00:55Okay.
00:56I just feel like this is the perfect opportunity for us to just take a second
00:59and kind of unpack what's happened to you.
01:02You know, this guy cheated on you, and...
01:04Nah, fuck it.
01:06Plotting record this, viral record that.
01:08I'm making so much money, I'm all over the net.
01:11I'm moving so fast, no time to process.
01:13And no, I'm not in a gang, but I'm always on set.
01:16Wristwatch, drip drop, label want the TikToks.
01:19Now I'm making TikTok music.
01:20What the fuck?
01:21I need a cleanse, need a detox, but we ain't got time to stop.
01:25The charts need us.
01:26And they do.
01:27Fast forward me, 2023.
01:29I'm stacking lots of cheese and making money.
01:31My grass is really green, and honestly, I can't even fuck a cab no more, Issa.
01:35This is a really dark time for me.
01:37I'm going through a lot.
01:38By a lot, you mean drugs?
01:39Um, I wouldn't...
01:40Drugs?
01:41No, it's a...
01:42No?
01:43It's a natural plan.
01:44No, I'm not judging.
01:45I don't...
01:46I'm just saying.
01:47I'm not an addict.
01:48Wanna talk about it?
01:49Uh, I mean, fuck.
01:50I like getting money.
01:51I like strippers.
01:52I like to fuck.
01:53I like day drinking and day parties in Hollywood.
01:55I like doing Hollywood shit.
01:56Snort it, Pollywood.
01:57What can I say?
01:58This shit works.
01:59It feels good, and my self-worth's at an all-time low.
02:02And just when it couldn't get worse, my ex crashed my place and destroyed all.
02:07I, um, whoopsie, made a oopsie.
02:10$100,000 oops made me loopy.
02:13I ain't a killer, but don't push me.
