I'm a total traveler yeah me too yeah I can't even count how many elementary schools I've been to and how'd you do you identify with a specific neighborhood or are you just mid city mid city LA yeah Hollywood mid city yeah that's like my my dad always lived there so I'd move everywhere with my mom and come back to my dad move somewhere with my mom come back to my dad so Fairfax District Melrose CBS you know that's my my neighborhood yeah yeah Farmer's Market yeah exactly of the beast yeah Farmer's Market was cool when I was a kid man it doesn't it's changed it still is it still is the Grove they're two separate parts they're still the Farmer's Market you stay away from the Grove but it's all good yeah modernized America but the Antique Row went away yeah yeah the toy store and yours I mean I guess you'd put it down your title would be a rapper but you got a lot of stuff going on man yeah I mean I work with everybody you know and it kind of tends to limit me I guess by calling myself a rapper but but it is what I do you know I know a lot of people that don't want to call themselves rappers but it's like if you're rhyming over a 4-4 beat in certain cadences and you're not hitting notes you're rapping you know so just because you got a band doesn't mean you're not rapping you're a graffiti artist as well yeah yeah graffiti writer CBS yeah last 22 years of my life in CBS alone and yeah I've been writing for 30 something years now excellent and that's how that's actually how I come to be acquainted with you as a neighborhood-love.com founder else also also a member of the CBS can't be stopped crew new inductee to the family yeah he's pretty yeah he's pushing it man I think he's pretty I think he's pretty happy with his home Cobras and yeah oh you went out to Vegas huh yeah that was a big thing last weekend Cobras vs. Lords Lords are our family crew from San Francisco TFL the fucking Lords but we you know we're Cobras they're Lords and it's just like it's not a battle we call it a battle but it's not we just go get together and paint together and kick it and there was like about 60 of us practically out there no competition at all nah nah they're literally like excuse me a lot of their members are in our crew and a lot of our members are in their crew they're our brothers like you know we love them so it's all good no sibling rivalry nah nah it's all good we have more problems within our own crew than we do with them and let's let's talk a little bit about let's just talk for a minute about what you brought you uh this is new stuff with producer Paris Sax yeah that's the Dirt Road Holiday project I've been working on that for about four years it just turned into something it was supposed to be a free album that we were gonna do in a couple weeks and it just turned into this whole other thing people kept contributing to it and making it a bigger album so yeah um yeah I owe you a little bit of an apology man cause uh cause I'm aware of your material and so I was like okay and this is primarily the basis of this show is primarily is primarily about soul and funk and you know I'll dabble in some other music but you know I mean to name the cliche man it's gotta be funky and so I was like okay I'm gonna fit be able to fit in something over here cause cause you're the stuff that I knew of which actually turns out is pretty old yeah you know is a lot more like weird hardcore I guess shapeshifters backpacker but this fucking qualifies thank you no question anyway this is uh Existerio and Paris Sax and uh first tune you're gonna hear is called Blue Soul Blue Soul Baby don't love me Baby don't care Baby wants nothing But to stay the night Baby don't love me Baby don't care Baby wants nothing But to stay the night Yeah Go get em in Go get em out Don't let em win Don't let em shout Smell the cinnamon on lips When she pouts Better shake her little hips For the scout Get another round Avoiding all the doubt All the little things They think it's about Can't add another total The amount And every single tear Can't possibly count Some flowers But we're waiting For the drought And fight a title bout And scream it off the

don't love me Baby don't love me Baby don't care Baby don't care Baby wants nothing Baby wants nothing To breathe the night in Dance Looking at my Gucci, it's about that time Rolling down the avenue, it's a half past nine Ask me what's up, I'll say I'm doing just fine Holding out that cup, so just keep pouring that wine My mind does hard time to find lines and borders You might find the nighttime design sliming hoarders So roll your quarters down the boulevard of destruction With all your evil ways, think of the souls that you're touching Barking out your orders, old lady purse clutching Looking for them diamonds, it's just cold that you're crushing Hushing all the hush puppies and cubbies in the river Piranhas making promises they know they can't deliver I live with sober souls, hopeless in the alley As cold as it gets, it stays cold in Southern Cali So pal, we better take a shelter before the panther blitz Sitting on my rooftop watching how the panther sits You know the night has fallen under some evil spell You hear the wolves are calling From where you cannot tell You know the night has fallen Under that evil spell You hear the wolves are calling From where you cannot tell Double dutch disco breakers, makers of the fake sound Fuck with LA heads, you best be ready for the takedown Rattlesnakers shake round, motherfucker break down Never understood why all these silly suckers stay round The devil's pit, the lion's lair The devil's pit, the lion's lair Turn up the volume, turn up the slayer Like a virgin, like a prayer Step off the ledge on a dare Fall into your death, just put your hands in the air Looking at the pavement with a thousand-yard stare SOS signal shooting off your last flare And thinking about the times that they told you beware My life is love in wartime Hidden in darkness You better have enough Bullets hit to start this There's only so much that one person can take Don't leave me at the place where I decide to break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break Break the bank I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. I thought I was, I don't know, I thought I was making songs. I thought I was getting things done, but really I wasn't. You know, there was something not happening or falling. It was all for a reason for me to kind of find my way, you know, because when I was getting successful and doing really well and being in Europe six to nine months out of the year and going on between Bright Eyes and Wu-Tang Clan and doing huge festivals, you know, playing with 15,000, 20,000 people, it was overwhelming for me, and I just wasn't ready for it. And I kind of, having a drug problem and everybody kind of supporting the fact that I was out of my mind because it was entertaining, you know, it just, I come home wrecked, you know. Now it's just a lot more, I have a better understanding of that it's a privilege to do this and that people care, not that I deserve it, you know what I mean? Where do you see yourself in another 20 years? That's so hard to say. It's weird, you know, because, you know, you look like De La Soul or KRS-One and, like, they're still rapping and they look good doing it, you know, but there's not too many good-looking, like, 50-year-old, white rappers, you know what I mean? Like, I love the Beastie Boys to death, but, you know, they didn't age so gracefully in certain instances, and, you know what I mean, being like, you know, I don't know, it depends, really, but I don't want to be touring, you know, other countries doing my hits from the, you know, now, you know what I mean? Well, what about on the other side of the board, you know? Well, I mean, I always, it's so weird. I don't know, I have no more plans. I've had so many plans that don't work out. Like, my brothers, I have two brothers, and one of them's an amazing producer in the space. He's an incredible, talented engineer producer, and my other brother's really great, you know, in film, and he's a set designer and all that stuff, and so between the two of them, I thought we had our own little business, and, like, it was going to be like, oh, we'll get production and video, we'll be an in-house team, you know, things like that. There are plans in the works, but when I try to force them to happen, they don't happen, so I just kind of learned to, like, sit back and go with it instead of swimming upstream and trying to, you know, have expectations of where I should be at, you know. Yeah. You mentioned being in Europe. You're pretty much of a globetrotter, right? Yeah. You've been all around the world? Yeah, everywhere pretty much. All the continents? Except I never went to Japan or Australia, but pretty much everywhere else that I can remember to the best of my ability. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of good soul coming out of Australia and New Zealand nowadays. Yeah. It seems a little bit unlikely, but reggae, too. A lot of good everything's coming out of everywhere these days, you know. It's hard to envision. Imagine, like, such great reggae coming out of a place like Australia where pretty much everything can kill you, you know, like the amount of predators that are there that do it. I try to feature, like, something from that continent at least once every two weeks. Yeah. I played a tune earlier from New Zealand. Yeah. Yeah. One of our guys from CBS, Decipher, he's a big old New Zealand boy. Oh, yeah? Yeah, the Kiwi. A Kiwi. Yeah, he don't like that so much, but super talented guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm American, but Kiwis, Geordies, like, they all had it, depending on where you come from, everybody had some name, and it was freely, you know, we don't call people from, we don't have names necessarily for, like, if you've got a buddy from Nevada. Yeah. It's not like you automatically have a name. Cracker Hick, that's about it. Yeah. it's not a nevada well there's oaky and there's you know there's some there's a couple yeah yeah hoosier um so you mentioned bikes what do you what do you ride oh brother uh at the moment i have

Our conversation bounce around and their opinions change. When they realize I don't cling to no facts, then I'm just saying. You follow what they put in front, you may be gained. In a losing curtain, hiding the actors that run the plate. Preview up with brain and the traffic that get them paid. No different when you fish in the hook, you apply the bait. I wait for opportunities, but then within that state. The state of depending on people accumulates the weight. So heavy, yeah, so heavy, like a thousand pound cake. So an ounce, a thousand, forty ounces, drink till you can't think. We want. To not know what we do not know, cause we afraid. That truth gonna keep you up at night and sleep you cannot take. What's chicken meant to bake? What's eggs meant to lay? And get eaten by humans alone with onions laid on steak. No vegetarian, I do love cow's milk. I drink, I love titties, and I lick them like I'm out to rob a bank. My pockets say they tired of licking the empty plates. My debit card retired, ain't have no 401k. My acquisition fired the freer to ventilate. And that Kia, I be driving, don't wanna replace them brakes. By God, for heaven's sake. Who made? All these religion, it's so hard to regulate. Don't wanna admit it's a business. My life within this frame, my picture made of shame. Painted with the blood upon the tears we remain. A race we love to hate, where the future won't marry. And the birth you can't afford, know the day you get buried. It break. Lord, I've been on this earth about 28 years. And you said that you would one day wash away my fears. The Lord is with me. The Lord is with me. The Lord is with me.
