Fedd The God

Count money man, money man.

Signed, signed, told, trying to told him I'm a beast.

What's up gang?

Welcome back to another episode of the grind cast.

Get ready.

It's a new day.

And we got a special guest in the house.

Pittsburgh native sign Taylor gang rapper collage with with

with Khalifa.

We got the man to meet the legend fed the God in the house.

What's going on?

Y'all.

It's called as rapper in the bird right now.

Come on man.

Blaze is it.

He got skills too.

So let's open it right up.

You know, I maybe tell some folks a little bit about, you know, you, how you grew up, where

you grew up.

Well, some fed man from the north side of Pittsburgh grew up in North

U Heights, but I'm native to every area around there.

So I don't really just, I'll just put myself in one neighborhood.

I'm whole, I'm the whole north side.

So you know, I just grew up like I wanted to be a doctor for real.

I always had music in me, but I was never like, oh, I'm a rap.

So I wanted to be a doctor.

I wanted to be a surgeon.

I went into some trouble like in my teenage years.

Try to get...

Where did that come from?

Wanted to be a doctor.

So my grandparents, my grandmother's a nurse, my mom's a nurse, my grandfather's a preacher.

And then my uncle went to the mill, he was a marine, turned doctor.

So that's where all my aunt's book came from.

But you know, rough upbringing.

Sometimes you become a prodigal, you're a environment and stuff.

So like I was, I was very smart kid.

Like I was an honorable student.

But you know, I like money too.

Like seeing I had a little, I didn't have it as easy as a lot of people.

I'm also wanting to be a man, being in a single household.

I wanted to provide for my mother.

I've never seen a man had a job only see a man in the streets.

So that's the only way I know how to make money.

So I did what in devil and got into some trouble.

Before I caught my charges, I tried to enlist to go to the Navy.

I passed the test with flying colors like so they tried to get me in there.

They tried everything they could to get me in there.

But I just, my charges are a little too serious.

So I had to sit down for a couple of months.

And then once I got out, I still was, I was making music at that point.

But I wasn't taking this series.

So once I got out, you know, I did with them dead, but I got a couple of jobs.

I worked three jobs.

P.F. Changs, Max Armas and I caught catching a buzz downtown.

And at this point I got my child.

I have a son at this point.

So I was making it into me.

How were you when you had your son?

I was 19, going on 20 when I had my son, my first son.

He's 10 now and I just turned 30.

So it's 30 and 10.

Love it.

Young man, I had to grow into an adult very fast.

I had my son just working my jobs and stuff.

And then I just like, man, I got to do something that just makes me happy.

Like just working a job just never sit right with me.

Like having somebody younger than me or like just talking to me.

Like I'm just less of a man just because like, you know, I don't have the highest paying job.

But I'm doing my thing and it just didn't sit right with me.

So I just trusted it myself.

I went to the studio and I just started getting cracking and I started catching wave.

So from a year of me doing my thing, I was able to cut down on three jobs and I just took

it overnight job.

I was still working the job.

Like, so I went from three to one.

I went from three to one and then the one which is I was doing shows.

You already started making money.

I was making money.

I was making money going my music.

So I went from three to one and then the job was like, I'll be out of the week.

I would just go to this office building.

Like I could go every day, but I would just clean the whole building in one day.

Like cleaning building in one day, doing my job, get my paycheck and then go back to the

studio.

Love it.

What kept you from going back to things that got you...

Jammed up?

Yeah, James up in the first place.

My kids that thought of another man raising my son, that thought of another man dictating

how my son turns up.

That just kept me still to this day keeps me straight.

You mentioned your mom, single mom coming from a single parent home.

I was the same way coming up.

Did you ever have an opportunity to meet your dad before any?

I know who my dad is.

He's ending out.

He's ending out my life.

When he's in my life, it's more so for his benefit than I'm from Aaron.

So it's always weird.

But you know, Aaron, am I?

Let's see.

So what things did you grab and learn?

What'd you say from your mom?

From my mother.

I learned just like just great.

Just like failure is not an option.

It happens.

You stand on it.

You grow from it, but it's not an option.

Like you're not going to fail nothing.

You're going to see everything through.

Like everything you start, you're going to finish.

And just like just be family oriented.

Just respect because respect is Aaron.

It's not given.

Like you don't disrespect nobody blatantly,

but you don't respect nobody until it's Aaron.

Right.

Makes sense.

So how did you end up, how long have you been rapping?

Rapping.

I used to play.

It's like consistent.

Consistently since 2016.

But I've been doing it since like 2012.

So like consistent for seven, seven years.

Yep.

And when did you start working with Taylor game?

2020.

OK.

Right, but I got my deal February 11th, 2020.

And we all know three weeks after that, the real shutdown.

No doubt.

How did that happen?

Like what would let up to that moment?

Let up, leading up to the moment when we get in my deal

with Taylor game, I was just running in Pittsburgh.

I'm like, I am now.

Just running, like hitting the ground,

running like before COVID, we had a lot of clubs.

There was not one week you couldn't go down to my name.

Wasn't on the flyer.

There was on one club in Pittsburgh that you can go in.

That my song wasn't playing it, which is like, every week in, like,

and not just one show.

I'm doing four shows.

So sometimes I'm leaving the show going to the next club going to the next

show.

Yeah.

And I'm doing that from Friday to Sunday.

Just do do show, show, show, show.

And then I'm packing them out.

Like everywhere I'm at is where everybody's at.

Fat ain't there.

And nobody's there.

And then I'm like, man, my home is we also through house

parties.

So like on top of that, we just got the burger and locks.

So it's like if you're not coming to the club with us,

you're coming to our house party.

Everybody's in our house party doing that.

And then I'm, I'm printing a merch out.

I'm paying for my own merch selling it out.

Everything I'm doing is just like boom, boom, boom, boom.

So Will Holl is at me.

Like, like he, he first initially hollered me like, um,

if you just need anything, just house, will, wills to see you off

television, wills on back.

So he just was like, if you ever need anything, just hollered

me like, you know, then like, you know, so we start busing it up.

Right?

Like, you know, I, I know who he is at this point.

So I'm like, I'm really just trying to do my own thing for

around.

Really understand.

Like, because it's like this is a label all of that, you know,

like, like, she's insurious.

Right.

So, you know, he started inviting me to the studio and stuff.

And um, you know, I wasn't really comfortable in that environment

yet.

Like, in the industry, like beats, like trying to make industry music.

Like, so I wasn't comfortable in that.

So like, you know, I didn't really produce right at that point when

he initially hollered at me.

And then I dropped another mixtape that was crazy in Pittsburgh.

Like, when music, I, like, more so dead myself.

So ways comes here to invite me to, um, I think it was like, uh,

opening thing they do for pit for basketball.

Wiz comes here and performs there and invites me to the studio.

Man, Wiz makes the song, yeah, yeah, that night.

That's the first, first time we ever met each other, we make a banger.

Like, we make a banger and one crazy.

So, you know, we're listening to that and then I'm going crazy pushing the mixtape that

I got out.

It was called North Sashite.

I dropped that on Halloween of 2019.

So I'm pushing, I'm pushing, I'm pushing that.

The day before New Year's, I get a text from Will, I get, um,

Pack your bags January 6th.

We fly you out to Cali to work or curse on music from January 6th,

February 11th.

I made 60 songs and I got my deal.

Grande.

I was in a studio every day.

So like, like, what's that look like?

You know, I was sitting here thinking I'm like, you know, you probably met people that

can rap, right?

Yeah.

So what's the difference between people that you've seen that can rap and people that actually

make it?

You know, pressure.

How can you handle?

How can you handle pressure in the rooms?

How can you handle vices in the rooms?

You get tested.

Like, um, if you're not really focused on rapping, you just want the glitz and glamor.

You would have felt that test.

So like, there was days where Wiz and them would go out to events that I knew I

wanted to go to.

I can't go.

I'm going to studio.

I'm not out here in the party.

Like, I'm out here to get it cracking right now.

Like, you know, I left my kids for this, like, this is the longest I've ever, like, besides

Jill, so long as I've ever been away from my kids.

Like, I was going for a month.

Like, and I didn't even have it to be out there.

So like, I'm living, figuring it out.

And I'm just grand.

And so I'm getting it on, going, going, going every day in a studio.

I mean, I went out one or two times, but this is when I knew I had to hate the play in

the club.

Yeah.

So I made the song 42.

Yeah, it's discipline.

Yeah.

It's discipline.

I can be kicking it.

You know what I mean?

Using this to have fun.

People with people have fun.

You know, whatever.

And I was you're staying.

I was staying.

Granted.

And it like, I don't get it wrong.

I had fun.

But it was more so work based.

Like, I had fun in my workplace.

Like, you know, like, how are you?

Am I bringing the party to me?

So like, we out there, man, we, they rap.

This is before COVID, too.

So everybody's still around.

Like, you know, like, everybody outside and ain't no mess.

Ain't no, we six feet apart.

Like, no, we was in our studio and it was cracking.

Like, you know, I mean, they're just rapping, rapping.

Like, I'm, I'm, you should give me the same before.

So I'm a great at performing.

But this is different.

I'm like, so I was impressed.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I know the game enough to where people are like, you know,

this person's good.

That person's good.

And most of the time, I'm let down.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

Right.

I'm like, man, when I saw you, I'm like, man, this can't got it.

Go, go.

You got the energy and everything aligned.

Yeah.

You can perform and rap.

Thank you.

Some people can rap, they can't perform.

I wonder how much it has to do with being able to handle the pressure.

And like, what do you mean by handling pressure?

Just really just understanding, like, the moment could be bigger than you.

So like, fun fact, when I first met you, I got kind of nervous because I was at the David Island fashion show.

The songs David Island picked were a little vulgar.

And then, you know, I'm coming into a fashion show, not understanding there's going to be children there.

Yeah.

So on the fly, on the fly, I had to clean the song.

The song wasn't clean.

I had to clean that on the fly.

Like, I'm performing.

I'm seeing your daughter's into it on a port where it gets vulgar and I had to boot, shake her hand.

And while I keep the crowd in the tree, so I'm like on the fly, I'm cleaning the song.

Like, I'm poop, poop, poop, poop, poop.

And I'm like, oh, yeah, I got it because I was super.

Like, I said, there's like, not like teenagers in there.

There's children in there.

I'm like, I can't be a recursion and stuff.

And like, in bombs everywhere, I'm like, I can't do that right now.

I'm in a tuxedo, everybody's in a tuxedo.

We heard from fundraising event.

I got to clean this up.

So like, that's why you're saying this year, I came with a whole different approach and it was super crazy.

Yeah, no doubt.

So you think the biggest two things that stand out from what you think is being able to handle the pressure.

Yeah, to it.

And adapting.

You have to be able to adapt.

You have to be able to just make fly decisions like being an athlete.

Like you got to be a quarterback on that stage.

Like I had to audible everything while not letting y'all know I was freaking out on the inside.

But you're honestly me sweating on one time.

I've seen a great smile.

Right.

Somebody kept his composer and I was just on point in the pocket.

What are things that people don't see, you know, things that you've had to do or, you know, go through.

Go through.

The craziest thing about performing is to, when you're performing to an unknown crowd to somebody who don't know you.

You have in a push through a 30 minute set when nobody's reacting.

They're just staring at you and you got to keep your energy up just to make them be like, okay, he's cool.

Like I like him.

Like because sometimes people won't react.

It's not because they don't like you.

They just don't understand.

They don't know who you are.

So you got to keep going.

You got to keep going.

People don't understand.

That's very hard to do for.

Absolutely.

Like for 30 minutes straight.

Like 30.

So you perform and bring in energy when other people are bringing in.

Like there's people just like this.

Yeah.

Just because they don't know you.

Yeah, I know.

So like if people don't understand how hard that is, like 30 minutes on stage is a long time.

Like it's short when everybody's having fun.

But it's very long when crickets.

And everybody's just like, hmm, he's cool.

We don't care about him.

Like it's hard when you perform a four-crowd.

That's not easily impressed.

Like you got to do something.

So what's going through your mind when you do that interaction?

I can see that I can break it.

Yeah.

Interaction.

Interaction is the most important part.

So like when people aren't or interacting, you have to interact with them.

So now, like I said on the fly, instead of me going out thinking everybody knows now I got to make them know.

I got to make them respected.

So that's why when you see some of my clips, if people aren't interacting, you see I'm jumping the crowd.

I'll get real personal with you.

I mean, your face, like, all right, you just staring at me on stage is different than you see me.

Rat my lyrics.

Word for word in your face.

Right.

All right.

I wrap it so you do, do, do, do.

They're like, oh, okay.

Now the whole crowd.

Now I built the crowd.

Now everybody's into it.

Like so that's that's some things people don't see.

And then some people don't understand the preparation of sound checking every microphone and every sound setup is different.

So sometimes you got to hear your voice.

Like sometimes I'll go on stage.

I'll perform on the left side real quick.

I perform in the middle.

I perform on the right.

Then I'll go out and aggressive perform to see how see how my voice sounds in advance.

Yeah, I see how my voice sounds.

See how my voice carries just to just to bring it all together to know how much energy I have to exert because it's not all vocal sometimes.

Sometimes it's body language.

So like if the sound system is amazing, I can talk on a mic like this because I'm doing show track.

So I don't have to yell.

I don't have to overexert my voice.

So now I could conserve my vocal energy and I can bring out the physical energy to the dancing and the shaking and then the.

Hey, left side, right?

I could focus on that.

It's a whole game plan to it.

It's crazy for real.

It's like it's really manipulation for real.

If like manipulating out on people for real, it's crazy.

So when you think of like work ethic, if you're trying to explain to somebody that's like, man, I think I want to do that.

I want to be a rapper.

And you like, well, there's a work ethic piece that comes.

How would you explain like, let me give you an example of what I'm talking about with like work ethic.

So because I've seen like clips of, you know, 50 cent and low-wing, you know, talking about like, man, we spent days on days in the studio.

It's literally like days not barely coming out like that.

I've seen the clip where I said, beyond say didn't eat for a couple days.

It's literally like when they say 10,000 hours, it's literally 10,000 hours and some like, like I said, I was out in LA for a whole month.

But barely $100.

And that's LA.

That's not you can make it pitch-berg for $100.

You ain't going to make it an iron LA with $100.

So like, you know, I'm out there living like I said, like, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I heard for a purpose.

So grand, grand, grand, grand, grand, and grand harder,

like harder, harder, harder.

How many hours?

Like what does that look like for a man?

Sometimes it's 72 hours.

You in a studio, they got a shower in there.

Yeah, 72 hours straight.

Like 24 hours straight.

Taking that back out.

Taking that, you got food in there, like you lay down.

And then like you know, you got to eat, sleep, and die music.

Like when you want to make music, you got to go all in.

You got to go all in because you got to test yourself.

Like because there's like, there's things that I'm comfortable with doing.

And as studio, I had to get uncomfortable.

Like you know, certain beats, certain beats I've never heard, certain pockets I

didn't try before, I had to get uncomfortable because you don't, you don't know what a hit

is.

Like you can make a great song and that's only opinionated because that's just what you

think.

So when you put the song out, it may not connect.

Now did you put all your eggs in one basket or do you got a thousand more songs?

Like you know, that's what makes a breaker a rapper because you know, or any kind of artist,

you could put a song out that you that was a hit and it could be a total dud.

Right.

Now how do you follow up?

Do you just go in a corner of a crowd?

No, I got more.

That's cool.

I fell right there, but it's cool.

Now that's where consistency comes from.

Boom, hit on with another one.

Oh, I like this one.

Boom, hit on with another one.

Oh, I like this one.

Boom, hit on with another one.

I didn't fill that one.

Okay, cool.

Boom, hit on with another one.

You got to keep going.

It's like, you got a rapid fire, rapid fire.

You got to keep going.

You got to go all in.

All in.

But in the process of going all in, you might not be getting paid.

You might, yeah, at all.

So you got to do the work first and before all that comes and keep your mind on still

staying consistent with the work before the money comes.

Exactly.

And then the best artists don't do it for the money because you got to understand it's

like, it's one in a billion jans.

You're going to get real pay from this.

Like, you know, there's only like probably ten, like you're going to make it live enough.

It would like, like you, like a hundred thousand a year, you can get at the, um, at the lowest

area if you're a good artist and you get, you got a fan base.

But everybody's not getting a millions of dollars and stuff.

Everybody's not getting it.

It's all perception.

Like, you know, so people in this area get caught up because the cars, the jewelry, but

you got to understand a credit can bow to that.

Credit can bow to that.

If you don't got credit, like when you go, when you're going to go sign up from cars,

cash don't mean nothing.

Unless you really know that person at the dealership, cash don't mean nothing.

And that credit mean everything.

So what people don't understand is like.

Like a lot of jewelry, even with me, like, jewelry's are giving me that stuff.

Like I have to pay for a lot of that shit.

Like, oh, here it's because it's promotion.

Like, so if you don't got to, if you can't market yourself as a brand, then you really

ain't going to be nothing as an artist because like music is only three percent because

you ain't going to be able to make music forever.

You ain't going to wrap it till you 60.

Right.

Like after you done wrapping or singing country, anything, what else can you do?

Right.

Or you, or you a person or person can you, can you, can you brand yourself?

Can you do a commercial?

Can you get in the movie?

Like it's a, you got to keep building it.

Like, what, what obstacles or adversity would you say if you look at like, man, here's

a couple, when I, when I think of adversity in my life or obstacles in my life, here's

a couple things that I think I can remember that I had to overcome.

Um, just getting your music played is the hardest thing to do because like keep your mind

right.

Keep growing and keep before before it.

Before it's played.

But you got to understand like a DJ has to like your music first to play it.

You can, you can, you can pay, I'll play my song, play my song.

That don't mean it's going to connect.

If somebody don't, you got to believe in your product.

But if they don't believe in your product, then you ain't going to never go.

So that's super, that's crazy.

Averse thing I had to go through.

Um, how long?

This is about four years before I even got a song played.

So like, so think about that, man.

Yeah.

Like that cuts a lot of people out of the game right there.

Like I can't keep grinding.

Mm-hmm.

For four years straight, believing in his dream, believing in what I see, believing

in what I'm doing.

And the studio's not cheap.

It ain't cheap.

Invested.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

You got to have consistent, consistent income like, and I don't know if some people will

do for industry or a job, but you got to be willing to do the inevitable.

Invest.

Yeah, you got to invest.

You got to invest up front.

Mm-hmm.

Who, who would you say you learned the most from, you know, in the, in the rap game, in

the music industry right now?

Myself.

Cause being around a lot of these people, like, you understand it's like high school.

It's a popularity of context.

That's all it is.

It's not who has the greatest music.

It's who's the most popular?

Who can communicate with the most people?

Who can rub the most shoulders to get the word or need to go?

Like, so that's the, uh, I learned a lot from myself, like just being in rooms, like,

being around a lot of people who's, um, used to getting paraded and, like, I like sports

on my athletes.

So I come in that mindset like, what would you play?

Basketball and football.

So I come in that mindset like, I'm better than you.

Like, I don't, I'm out of asshole, but I'm like, I don't really have to blow you or

beg you up to fill, make you feel bigger of a man.

Oh, hey, what's up, bruh?

I'm a fan in your music and blasey blasey.

If we can work, we can work if not, I'm going to get there regardless.

So learning that about myself, because you know, a lot of people will get in that moment

and parade and just, you know, gaslight that person, like, oh my god.

Like you're, man, like, no, you don't have to do all that.

Just be a man.

You got to be a man in situations and stuff.

And don't, don't be shallow.

Don't be egotistical and not take the opportunity.

Because when the opportunities at hand, you take that opportunity, but you don't have to

do the most to get that balance.

So balance.

Yeah, so it's a, it's a great humility, humility and confidence.

And you have to have that humility.

You have to have that because it's like, that can't make or break you sometimes.

Like, you know, because you're going to be around or certain people, because, you know,

black barons are real thing.

You can be around certain people.

He was as holy, just felt like he was better than the moment.

And nah, like, nice.

I'm like Drake, walk in her, the wind, walk in her.

Oh my god, you were my favorite rapper.

Like you're my favorite rapper.

I'm going to definitely tell you that, but I'm not going to blow you and try to hang

around you just for cloud.

Nah, hey, is it cool?

We take a picture.

If not cool, thank you for even grace to me, which are presents.

I appreciate that.

I aspire to work with you one day.

And I see it.

Like I just business casual.

Like business casual, because like a lot of people in this game will get wrapped up in,

oh yeah, we were super cool.

We're then if they got a problem with somebody in an ACU, communicate with somebody,

they got a problem with they picture in the middle of that.

I'm not in the middle of nothing.

I have nothing to do with nothing y'all have going on.

I don't even know you.

Right.

Like, yes, we rap and we're cool.

And I appreciate your art.

But I don't know you.

So it's like everything is business casual, everything is on business.

And if we can grow to be friends cool, but even if we grow to be friends, that's where

I cut my line and I'm not in between your stuff.

Drama.

Yeah, I'm standing out there.

Yeah, I'm standing out there.

What things have you had to cut off or people, I know I can't speak for anybody else myself,

but I know from where I was at in Youngstown till today, there's been some people that

got to roll with me.

Yeah, and some people I can't.

I can't connect the wit and reconnect the wit because I had to go for a minute and

there's some people I completely people places and things.

I had to completely cut out.

Did you have any?

It's the same.

It's literally the same because it's like growing up, like I said, I was more introverted.

I was always popular.

I was always popular.

I was always cool, but I was never like, never the hardest guy.

I was in no sucker, but I was never like, oh, I'm going to kill you.

I'm running around with token guns.

I mean, that's just a pride of environment.

Everybody has one.

So I had to cut off a lot of that just because a lot of people, like I said, I'm neutral.

I'm very neutral.

I stand on what I stand on.

I'm more so on family.

If you ain't do nothing to my family, you ain't doing nothing to my mother and my brother,

my sister, I don't really care.

You feel me?

It's not that I don't care.

I'm not going to say that I do care.

I don't care.

So I stay out of that.

So I cut off a lot.

Even with doing music in Pittsburgh, I don't, I like everybody's music, but there's

some songs.

I won't do music with you.

We're just talking about somebody else.

I don't care about that.

See, we're going to make a song, like a real song or we're not like, you know, and you're

not going to pit me in between which I got going.

So I cut off that off.

That's why you don't hear me.

I stay out of drama.

I stay out of drama.

Yeah, that's why you don't hear me do music.

There's a lot of people I want to do music with, but you send me a song and I hear it

and I feel like you're talking about something cool, bro.

I don't care how hard the song is.

I'm cool because that's not my brand.

Like, I can do.

I could perform in the most ratchet place or I could perform in the most corporate

place because how I position myself.

That's unique.

That's very unique.

Not everybody can't do that.

Like everybody can't do that.

But you got to be very, you got to be a chameleon in this.

I think I blend very well with both sides.

I would the left-handed rate and I can be in the middle to bring everybody together.

I had to cut that off.

Even family.

Having to cut off a lot of family.

That's tough for people.

That holds people back.

It does hold people back, but I'm a person who I only grew up with.

My mother, my brother and sister.

And then both my parents were adopted.

So I only know my adoptive family and my mother said, and I know a couple cousins where

my father says, so I've never met my real grandparents at all.

I don't know nothing about me.

I've never met real cousins.

I met my real cousins on my father's side.

But my mother said, I don't know no family.

I don't know her mom.

I don't know her dad.

I don't know her biological brothers and sisters.

All I know is my brother and sister.

So it's very easy for me to cut people off because it's like,

before I became who I was today, don't be wrong.

I had family, but only a person who was ever there for me was my mother.

So anybody even reach out to me.

It's your at arms reach.

I'd be like, you could acknowledge you, we family, but I ain't got nothing for you.

You've never had nothing for me.

You knew me.

I'm 30 now.

So you knew I existed this whole time.

I was never, oh, my favorite nephew.

No, it was never that.

I've never had that with no family.

It was always me, my mom and my sister.

So it was very easy for me to cut people off.

But you handle, I know you had to hear, I think he's better than everybody else.

You know what I mean?

I'd be like, cool, if you think I'm better than everybody else.

That's what I tell him.

I don't think I'm better than nobody.

I've been the same person.

If you come around me, I'm going to be very jolly, very giggly.

I'll crack jokes with you.

But as soon as you ask me for something, it's no.

I've never been able to get that from you.

And I don't judge you on that.

But no.

Just because I can do that now, like, I tell people this, my mom's been in crazy situations

where she couldn't call on none of y'all.

And her calling on y'all means y'all was helping us.

She couldn't call on none of y'all.

So why would I help you if you've never helped my mom?

I'm like, that's the only person I had.

So like, nah.

Even my dad, my dad will call me and, no, I don't get it for you.

If you ain't about to be homeless and then if you hungry, cool, call a place to order,

I'll pay for it.

I'm not giving you nothing.

A lot of people can't handle that.

Yeah, people can't handle that at all.

Say no.

And hear people talking, you know what I mean?

How they think they better than everybody else.

No, I don't think I'm better than nobody.

Because I'll help anybody.

I'll help anyone.

But like, when it comes to people who've never helped us, you got to come to me with

business planning.

They got to be on paper because I want my stuff back.

And it's going to be on paper.

I want my bread back.

I want anything.

I want anything you gave me back.

And I come from growing.

And I come from like me helping.

Even my children's mother, like, love her to death.

But you got my kids.

That's cool.

But you, like, you got a business, there was times I was down and you slandered me.

I'll never give you nothing.

Like, never.

Speaking of slander, have you had, you know, anything on to come up where, for sure

to talk about you or say anything about you or anything like that?

You got to not give it light.

People slander me even still to this day.

People slander me and then see me in public and want to shake my hand.

And I just, everything is what a grain of salt.

I see you all like, oh, cool.

You'll never say that to me.

Like ever.

Like, see me face to face.

You'll never say that to me.

So I'll be like, it's cool.

Like, hey, what's it going on?

How you doing?

How your family, you cool?

You good?

How your business going cool?

And then I keep it going.

I don't have nothing bad to say about nobody.

So it'll be like, you can slander me all you want.

That spirit, man.

Yeah, it's like you can slander me.

Stand above that.

Yeah, just stand above water.

Get a vibration.

Literally, like, good vibe.

Literally.

Literally.

And then like, we all have our negative days, but it's about how you, how you go through

it.

Like, my negative is put into the music.

So you might hear a song that make you, like one of my music songs and make you go crazy.

You be like, he's going nuts on this.

That's probably because I was angry.

Like so I learned how to put negative energy into a positive and making something beautiful

early.

So like whoever's watching this, just know if you, if you anger me or you bring something

negative, I'm putting it in a song.

Spinning it into a positive.

I'm spinning it.

I guess.

Use that energy.

Yeah.

Like thank you.

Right.

A lot of the greats use that energy.

Like you a sports fan, right?

So you know, like you watch Jordan.

Jordan.

He, he, he, he thrive off a hate.

Brady.

Like literally.

Oh, you hate me.

Please.

And I tell a lot of people, like a lot of people who slander me, I'd be like, if you

don't want me to do good stuff, hate me.

Like because literally.

Right.

Literally.

And that's the, that's the difference between the greats.

Yeah.

I was just talking to somebody.

I was saying one of my favorite things, business clips on YouTube.

There was a dude that that was talking about, you know, the greats.

Uh-huh.

The difference between the greats is they can perform at a nine or a 10 on good days.

But on bad days, when things ain't going right or things may have gone wrong.

They're 20 people talking that they still stay at a high level.

Yeah.

Other people, they drop.

They're mean they drop that stuff.

So I've said the same stuff of like, man, if you really want to see us not be successful,

then don't, don't say that.

Don't say that.

No shit.

Because that's just that's locker room material.

Literally locker room material.

It's like, ooh, you don't, you don't think I can do this?

Watch.

Watch me do it times 10 and you're going to be sick.

Like, um, uh, uh, something was going on on Facebook, you know, social media is, is

this generation staying?

So they were, uh, going crazy like, yeah, we're sounding people who like trash people

and stuff.

So you know, I killed them with kindness.

Um, I posted on the comments of the, of the posts, of them talking about me, a sold out

crowd with everybody with me in the middle of the crowd and 19,000 people's hands in the

air at my command.

I said, and I just said, maybe one day once you get out of hate, out your heart, you'd

be here.

That was it.

I was like, I say, like, I ain't about to do that with you, bro.

I'm like, right, especially the little kid had talent too.

I'm like, you know, you can learn something from me, bro.

Straight up.

Straight up.

Like, I ain't about to do that with you.

I don't have to do that with you because everything that you say you can do, I did it.

I didn't say I can do it.

I put my, my money where my mouth is.

Amazing.

Like, I worked jobs for this like, I granted for this.

Nobody gave me nothing.

Like, thank God that was and, um, Will came and sent me with, Will and Josh, they sent

me.

But before it was Taylor gang, this was me, me and Mike, like, like me, Mike and Stevie

being icy and ass go like, they nurture me into a rapper, grow me into a rapper.

Mike, seeing a vision of me still working a job, me having an incredible song out.

He'll initially helping me with my first ever, like, first person who ever puts some money

into it.

me pay for my first video, like the Bobby Wu Say video.

He paid for that video and then from there,

seeing me take somebody,

putting 300 into me, turning it into $40,000

within the next year.

And me trying to pay him back,

I hate never to take it.

He said, Brad, just believed in you.

Like, and he was like,

you believe in yourself, but it's like you a man.

Like I understand,

I had right responsibility.

So like I'm taking my checks.

Like it wasn't the most, but I got kids.

Like my kids is growing.

I got two sons too.

So like you got kids,

so you know, it's not cheap to have children.

No, no.

Like, and they constantly grow some.

Like, man, I got stuff to take care of.

Like just just growing into a man.

And then like I just really had to just take that leap of faith.

So I'm like, and when people slam to me,

I'm like, bro, you don't even know the half

of how I had to do this.

Like what you had to do to get from here.

Hair to there, like literally from making lots of money

being in the streets,

to the half and a humble myself.

It's a plan.

Yeah, like literally turn it down.

Like, I'm not selling dope no more.

Like for what?

Like just to go to jail, like cool, the money's cool,

but I can't even spend the money in a way I want to.

Because I'm just saving it just like,

I got hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Right.

It's no point like it was no point for real.

What, what things would you,

would you say motivated you the most?

Would you say on the come up?

My children, my children, what's um, like so,

I gauge my music when I play for my kids,

you know, the kids order the future.

So once my son's like, my son's now have phones.

And they can listen, they got TikTok now,

they can listen to any other rapper.

I still, all these great musicians are here

still to this day, no biased.

I'm still their favorite rapper.

That motivates me bro, like it's like, you know, like,

as an athlete, like if I was, if I was a per...

Their friends listen to you stuff too.

Your friends listen to my stuff, like, I'll be on.

You gotta deal with any, hey, they gotta get any shit talking.

They deal with shit talking and they deal with, um,

a lot of people trying to beat their friends

for the wrong reasons.

Yeah, both of those.

Both of those, like, you know,

and then I went to public school.

So once they get in the high school,

I'm gonna get them in a different school.

But I want them to go through what I had to go through.

But I didn't, so I tell them not be lucky.

I didn't have a father.

Y'all have a mother and a father, like, who cares for y'all.

Big difference.

Big difference.

So I'm like, everything, I see myself in them,

but I'm happy because they go through the same stuff

I went through, but now they have somebody they can come

to, like, to fulfill comfortable.

Like I used to have to go to my mom

or I used to have the turn a little way

to figure out how to be a man.

Snoop Dogg, forgot about being a man

or watch LeBron, forgot how to be a man and stuff like that.

They come to me.

When they're feeling a little weird,

when they're feeling different, when they're feeling emotional,

they come to me.

And I let them understand it's cool to be soft.

It's cool.

You don't gotta be the hardest.

You just gotta be you.

Like, so I love that.

They go through all of it, though.

They go through the hate.

They go through, like, when I go to school sometimes,

the teachers just like, oh, I know you're dead

and they know you're not, and I know the teachers.

So they go through all that.

Love it.

Love that you comfortable, you know, in your own skin.

Super.

Yeah.

A lot of people feel like they got to put on a certain hardcore,

you know, sod, you know, of being a rapper.

So I gotta, you know, I gotta talk about, yeah.

So I gotta talk about that.

I gotta be a certain way, you know what I mean?

It's still, you know, like you were saying, it's like,

I ain't saying I'm gonna just roll over

and be a push for something.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

I ain't, I'm not trying to do that.

I know these people around, off somebody saying something.

Yeah, no.

That's what I said.

That is all love.

I hate nobody.

Just man, bro, people say like, in an crazy,

the worst part about being a rapper is the attention.

So it's like, you know, like, even,

the worst part.

That's the worst part.

And that's the worst part.

Like, people think like, oh, you like it.

No, I don't really care if we're like,

cause if-

So what have you had to do to move different to watch?

Stop, stop coming around.

I just stop coming, stop coming around.

Like, stop being around like, I love to party.

I love it.

Now it's like, I go out and,

I saying people who praise me, I've seen people who

wanted to be a part of what I got going on.

And then all cause of a woman, you hate me now.

Like, not even my wife.

You feel me not my wife, not my girlfriend.

See the money or that.

Literally.

And then, you know, I could see, you know how,

you know how, man, or we're, we're man, we like to brag.

I could see if you did something with my wife,

my girlfriend or my child's mother.

You're doing something with someone who I just have

conversation with and you're bragging on it.

So now look at you.

First of all, you're corny.

You want to have a problem with me cause it is.

And I'm just a herchilling.

You want to.

Yeah, you want to.

I'm a herchilling like, my presence is bothering you.

And then,

and you can't respond.

Yeah, you can't respond.

That people want you to respond.

And people want me to respond.

So like,

I had somebody tell me like, man,

you know, if the dog is out there barking at the moon,

yeah, that's what it is.

Like the minute that the moon barks at the dog, it's crazy.

The dog is famous.

You know what I'm saying?

So you got a lot of stuff.

You got to let, I have to let a lot of stuff roll.

I got to let a lot go then.

You know, like,

you know how it is.

We as man, you let something go to people who wouldn't have

let it go to crash dummies.

They'd be like, all your sucker.

Right, bro.

Like, you serious?

Right.

Like, I'm like, ain't nobody never put their hands on me.

Nobody never harmed me like,

right.

I go here with that.

Like you feel me like like, like,

because I can tell it like, man,

the moment you make me feel third and third,

that's going to be the worst day ever for you.

Like, I don't want to do that.

Like I'm a good dude, but I want to party.

I want to have fun.

Right.

I'll see somebody like, I had a,

I had a mutual misunderstanding with somebody.

I wouldn't even say,

I had a problem.

It was a mutual misunderstanding on both parts.

And I just wanted something in my head was just like,

yo, just highlighting and just greeting with a smile.

So we're in the club in the hostile environment.

Like, you know, here's how he's just staring at me.

Like, I'm gonna go to the boss.

I'm gonna go to the big dog, the one who control all y'all.

I want straight to him with a bottle of liquor.

I'm like, bro, what's the problem?

He said, no, man, I'm just matching energy.

So I'm like, bro, there's no problem.

Let's pop this bottle together and take a shot.

So I had two bottles popped and both of them

gave him one of the bottles and clinked it.

And we took a shot.

And I'm like, we ain't got no problem no more, bro.

When you see me, there's no problem.

Like you feel me?

And every since then, it was cool.

Like all the other stuff, Brian gets the time for that.

Now, I think I last time I told you,

you said you weren't on Tour of Time Travel.

Yeah, I bet you'll like that.

Well, when you do do that or you have done that,

what's that life like?

It's like, it's fun.

Yeah, I can't even look.

It's straight up fun, bro, because it's like,

I love the travel, I love experiences,

I love just going to different cities,

eating different food, bro, be the best time ever, bro.

Like, what's been your favorite city?

Surprisingly, or to be in?

Albuquerque.

Albuquerque.

New Mexico.

New Mexico, bro.

New life.

Bro, the love.

I go to Albuquerque.

The love and appreciation out there for it was crazy, bro,

because it's like they're so appreciative of just everything.

Like, it was nuts out there, bro.

I ain't gonna hold you.

It was nuts.

It was nuts.

Like there was a lot of stuff he was doing.

Like just the people down there just fun.

Like so like, he was been fans of my music.

You know, I love people.

So I'm down there and went into fans

that ran out of bowling out there for us.

So I, like, didn't think we was gonna show up.

So me, all the homies we showed up,

we went there bowl, like Chevy and all of them came through

for Albuquerque.

Like, we had a ball down there, bro.

Albuquerque was fired, New Hampshire was fired.

It was real like, all the unconventional cities, like,

Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut was crazy.

Like, then you know, like,

Why do you think that is?

Just more appreciative?

It's more appreciative.

It's more appreciative.

Cause they don't get stuff like that every day.

Like, you know, like, Hartford would appreciate us more

than Alaywood.

Cause everybody's like,

You can just wake up and go see whoever you want to go see.

Hartford, you can't do it.

You gotta go to New York, you gotta go to Boston,

you gotta go to Philadelphia and like, get all that.

You done anything in Youngstown?

No, not yet.

Not yet.

Not yet.

We gotta get you in New York.

I'm trying to do the yo, we, I did Akron.

And we're, I think we're working on Dayton.

So I did Akron Cleveland Cincinnati Columbus

that ended up.

You gotta have got even that Athens.

I was even up on Ohio State.

Okay.

Yeah, you did Athens.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

And oh you, they said they could party down there.

Yeah, but they can't party more than Penn State.

Penn State went hard.

Oh my goodness.

Okay.

I usually do Penn State once a semester.

So I've been chilling this year because I was,

I got three projects dropping next year and I finished.

So I've been chilling.

With three projects.

albums.

Three albums.

Okay.

One's caught on.

So I'm dropping at the top of 2024.

Uh-uh.

EP caught Wersfet.

So it's like, it's gonna be three songs.

It sounds totally different from each other.

None is going to sound the same.

One song's a man with, another song's with chief keys,

artist, Lil Nora.

And then I just got a song.

What's it like working with Wers?

Amazing.

Amazing.

It's like a teacher like, like, like, like, if you had to say,

like, why, what you see in him, this like man, I can see how

I got, how I was successful.

Like what traits, what things you think in Wersfet.

Hey, because you know what that, what the come up is like.

Yeah.

Right.

So you know what probably had to go through to get there.

What things do you see in his life?

His comability in his own skin.

He don't care what nobody got to say.

He's unapologetically hum.

Like, and he, and he can, like, I can look past the hate,

but he really looks past the hate.

Like, he just be like, I don't care.

I got a son.

I got a mom.

They're taking care of.

I don't care about nothing you'll have to talk about.

And that is how he got to where he said, like, he really don't

carry.

It doesn't weigh on him.

He smokes his joints.

He hops in his Ferrari, goes to his crib, and he, so being

himself, right?

But there's a lot of people that, you know, they, they, they beat

himself.

Mm-hmm.

But they can look past.

Hey, what are the other things?

His business, his business man.

He's very business oriented.

He's very, very smart, like, very smart.

He's, he's like a head of the curve real like some of this stuff

he'll do.

And I'll watch him a lot of the cast that make it super smart.

It's smarter than you think.

Yeah, literally, like, just talking to you, I can tell you.

I tell the truth.

Like, you know, so you could, some of these guys that you would

never think, you know, to the naked eye, people look at

and look at him crazy.

And then he has, he just has a no excuse mentality.

I've seen this man.

No excuses.

No excuses.

I've seen this man do a tour.

Shoot a movie, film two TV shows and come to the studio

and make everybody in the studio drinks and bust out six songs.

Go home, take care of your son and do it all again the next day.

While I go to the gym.

His work ethic is crazy.

It's crazy.

No, it's literally nonstop, no excuses.

And there'll be days like, you know, he won't,

he won't be feeling too good.

But he still pushes through.

He'll come through with a remedy.

Oh, I need water, I need tea, I need this, I need that.

And go in there, no excuses.

I'll knock it out.

Okay, I think no excuses.

What, what, what things, what advice would you give to young people

out there?

You know, that are listening just in general.

Just in general.

It's just to be successful.

What you've seen, what you mistakes you've made.

Yeah.

Things you've done right.

Things you've done wrong.

What, what advice would you give to, to the youth?

To the youth just like trusting yourself, trusting your vision.

Like if you have a vision, don't compromise it for nothing else.

But you can also take notes.

So drop your ego once you get into business, drop your ego

because your ego will fail you.

And don't forget your ego, just drop it

because you have to come to a common ground

with everybody in business.

And just, you know, support yourself most important.

Like you have to support yourself.

Because if you don't support and believe me yourself,

then nobody else will at all.

Like, how do you keep up with the mental?

Like how do you keep up with the mental aspect of like,

when I'm putting in this work and I ain't getting a result yet?

I'm putting in this work, I ain't getting, you know what I mean?

I ain't paid yet.

I'm putting in the work.

Yeah.

Like, what was going on in your mental?

It still goes on.

That's everyday battle.

Because it's like, you know, people don't,

like from outside looking at everybody,

might be like, he's rich.

People don't see that.

I'm still kind of regular.

I'm just popular.

So it's like, that's an everyday battle.

It's like, wow, I'm hair.

I'm doing this.

It's not pan off.

At this moment, it's not pan off.

But next year, it can probably be paid off super.

So now I gotta keep bracing myself and push through.

So the mental part is very horror

because it's gonna get you.

It's gonna get you.

You just can't let it suck you in.

Cause like, you gotta take your proper,

now I see a therapist, I read books

on how to strengthen the mental.

I've learned different coping mechanisms.

So the mental part is crazy, bro.

I'm crazy.

I'm taking care of the mental.

Yeah.

Love it, man.

I'm proud of you, man.

Thank you.

Whatever it's worth.

I know what you've explained to me, you know,

on that journey, what you've said to go through,

to get to where you are.

I got a lot of love for that, man.

A lot of respect for that.

Work as somebody finds you that ain't hip to your music

or you got Instagram and all that.

Instagram, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,

it's all fed the God, F-E-D-D, THG-G-O-D.

If you game, you can find me on PlayStation

and fed the God for one two on Xbox, the Fedro.

TikTok fed the God, Apple Music fed the God,

Spotify fed the God.

Everything is fed the God, but just remember, F-E-D-D.

2D.

2D.

2D.

Because that's my last name, you know,

so that's just what it is.

That's where fed the God came from.

Yeah, so James Fett is my whole name.

So Fett is my last name.

All right.

Who named, did you name yourself?

No, well, I named after my father, but I named myself

the Fedro.

So the God comes from not God, but anime.

I'm a dragon ball see, I'm a huge dragon ball see fans.

So like there's gods and dragon balls

the universe and like so I'm like the God of my universe

and my house like I have got in me.

Like I'm not God, I don't think I'm God.

I don't think I'm over anybody, but in my universe,

I am my own God.

Like, you know, I like it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What's the vision, man?

The vision.

What's next, you know what I'm saying?

Like, I'm about to rent this table for surely.

I'm about to rent a table in this music,

but the overall vision is I don't like homeless.

I don't like seeing homeless people.

So I want to figure out how to build communities

like in lands where we're just not doing nothing

for homeless people.

I don't believe there should be any type of homeless

and I want to have a label in Pittsburgh

like a major label like I want to have my own version

of an Atlantic, a capital records in Pittsburgh

and my model with that is.

So on record label?

Yeah, on a record label like CEO.

So my model with that is take young musical kids

from 9th grade, sign them to a deal,

let them know you can't get that money

until you graduate college.

So you have to run a table, you have to learn how to market

yourself, you have to learn the business,

you have to learn music, you have to go to the artist

development.

So from 9th grade to senior year of college.

is from ages of 14, 15 to 24, you'll get a deal and you won't be able to get the money to

your 24 if you don't complete that. That's growth, that's the vision. That's the vision. Like basically

like a like a rapper college but so as you get out of here, you go on through artist development but

like you know once you get 18 we'll give you something like we ain't going just like oh you want

to do you ain't getting none now. So from 9th grade to 12th grade artist development college

is business development, learn how to promo yourself your college now there's probably

on average just 20,000 kids at college. If you can't get your music to 20,000 people then you

shouldn't be doing this especially when you have the tools to do it because colleges you got student

unions you got oh college has the money to bring people when so you can open there you can build

your brand there's houses there we all know a college we party so a house party do all that

build your brand build your brand build your brand it by time you 24 you should be ready to

be a global superstar. How would you how do you think people can build their brand?

Market you got a lot of market yourself if you don't know how to market stuff you know what you mean

like tangible for me. Example example so prime example I know I had I know I had a hit coming out so how

market it was you got to spend money to make money so like I said I was working jobs I'm saving money

well I went around every store first I built a repertoire oh hey I'm about to do some about it

stupid things I might buy a pair of socks and they don't got to be like I'm about some Louis Vuitton

buy a pair of socks but I went around every store where I knew they were playing rap so I'm building

and then I'm coming in like give me an example a couple stores refresh Pittsburgh okay I was going

around refresh Pittsburgh buying things then they started to want to know who are you like oh you

going there buy some stuff buy some stuff build you know check out my not even check out my music just

really just coming in there a lot just making conversation oh hey like what music do y'all listen to

like I'm really like filling the market out before I went into the market because I knew I had a

product I was ready to sell filling the market out seeing who my customers was because I knew a lot

of people who I wanted to listen to my music shop in there so I'm building it up building it up building

it up building it up and then I found I was like hey I got a music coming out oh cool we like you let

us get the song first I give them a song now to play the song then now I get that done now that's

bang now I'm in the now I'm in the stores just off of me just being a person so

took it to the club going around club club club hey hey what's up DJ you want to shot

we're getting to DJs it's a shot oh yeah bro what's up you got some music yeah here cool now I'm

in rotation how you want me to play this song just play the song don't announce it as a new song just

play the song put it in there where the song it sounds like see how they vibe out to it now the

song's in a club now I got something building now I got something brewing boom boom boom that's

brewing now all right cool now let me see if I can bring the party to me yo bro you invite four

girls you invite four girls you invite four girls you invite four girls you invite four girls there's

10 guys we got enough guys around we need women to spread the song like welfare we throw a house

parties drinking games boo boo boo boo boo now I'm planning I'm putting it on somebody's house and

somebody's crib so boo boo boo boo boo now we playing a song bad the song is crazy when you drop

in it cool now I got that now I got the clubs the stores and uh every day life playing my music they're

just playing it now time for a video now the not a footwork is done now the song is a circulation

now we want to do it now drop the video house party video spawns her back one of the stores

built the brand I didn't have to do too much they brought in this stuff they provided my outfit

I had the DJ that was planted that spent the song initially at the party in the video everybody

in the video wanted to be a part of the video now when the video came out I had 60 people to push

the song with me for free just because me being a genuine person that's how you can build a brand

a lot of work goes into that a lot of work goes into that so it was a six that's why you say you

can't worry about the money you can't worry about the money you're going to have to do all that

it was a before I dropped the song Bobby Boucher pre I dropped the song February 2018 that's

the that's the song that initially got me cracking so pre that I probably spent out of my own pocket

20 grand just getting to know people like just getting to know people like 20 grand just to get to

know just to get to know people just just to get my song in the air and then once the song came

the month of song was out that was pretty much oh this song is crazy showbooking bang oh I want

this much a cool we got 500 for you cool I'm not nobody yet like I got a hot song but I'm nobody

only got a hot song in Pittsburgh I'm nobody 500 so that one five hundred dollars show

I turn it to a seven fifty three times a week seven fifty that's twenty two hundred dollars every

weekend so I made it all back quick what do you do with that you put it back in you shoot more

videos to make the big song grow the money back into it that's another thing they get the money

they get the local family they start spending not yeah spending to re-up money no right I got

more back into I got to make more product now make more music I got to shoot another video just

to keep the big song going so now they got to see he's consistent so while the Bobby Boucher song is

the main focus I have other bodies are worked to show him versatile oh he can really rap oh we like

him oh he's a person okay another thing how I built the brand I don't take disrespect lightly so

at this point I was a little I was a little bit fill out myself but I can pick my money where my mouth is
