And what cam Mendocino is, when I was a foster parent, I used to.

Speaker A:

But no, Camp Mandancino was just a dope little thing for the foster youth.

Speaker A:

And when I spoke to you, you just supported the movement.

Speaker A:

And when I found out that.

Speaker A:

That you dealt with a lot of falsehood, that intrigued me.

Speaker A:

I'm like, okay, this young man is different.

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

Speaker B:

Okay, right?

Speaker B:

I'm me.

Speaker B:

And that's one of the main things to be.

Speaker B:

You know, a lot of people be gangster for a lot of other stuff.

Speaker B:

And for me, it's just always to just be myself and stand up for what I believe in.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I be a lot of heavy things in life, but, you know, try to make sure it get light.

Speaker B:

Try to be light, too, but don't ignore the heavy.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Just because you're trying to be light all the time, so.

Speaker B:

But don't be so all up in the heavy all the time that you forget the light.

Speaker A:

I like that.

Speaker A:

I like that.

Speaker B:

So I just know I always been brave enough to be a representative of that and step out and Be on the leader on that.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

You are.

Speaker A:

You definitely a leader.

Speaker A:

Create your own.

Speaker A:

I love a boss.

Speaker A:

To me, you are a boss.

Speaker A:

You are a young boss because you create your own Lane.

Speaker A:

And my thing about you, you don't care what nobody.

Speaker A:

Anything about you, you genuine.

Speaker A:

And that's what I like.

Speaker A:

I actually just seen that you were awarded something.

Speaker A:

Was that the county rebel who.

Speaker A:

Who is that that acknowledged you?

Speaker B:

I think her name is Lena Tam.

Speaker B:

Alina.

Speaker B:

Pam.

Speaker B:

She's a county supervisor.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker A:

In Alameda County.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And the Urban League or something.

Speaker A:

It was something on that.

Speaker A:

He didn't even know he even said it.

Speaker B:

He cousins like that.

Speaker B:

You know what I mean?

Speaker B:

It's all these worlds coming together.

Speaker B:

You know, in the Bay Area, it's like the land of nonprofits and the funding, all that type of vibe.

Speaker B:

Correct.

Speaker B:

It's a lot of organizations that get funding to do things here and trying to figure that out.

Speaker B:

And then you got the government.

Speaker B:

That's another system that worked different.

Speaker B:

And then you got AC Transit and the BART and these.

Speaker B:

All these different systems that could be working together.

Speaker B:

But it's like, yeah, that's kind of what it's on.

Speaker B:

I've been doing the work of getting us together with next to nothing.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

So I'm at that point where it's like certain collaborations.

Speaker B:

Come on, let's go.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker B:

Like, people got the resources.

Speaker B:

Come on.

Speaker A:

That's where I'm at, too.

Speaker A:

I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker A:

That's why, you know, even with the podcast, I've been trying to be different.

Speaker A:

It's not all about rappers and, you know, hyphae and all this.

Speaker A:

I don't.

Speaker A:

I really am not interested in all that, to be honest with you.

Speaker A:

I'm more or less interested in authenticity in the real.

Speaker A:

The real you guys.

Speaker A:

Like, even when I was asking Richie Rich, like.

Speaker A:

Like.

Speaker A:

Because what people see on the gram is different from what you do in real life.

Speaker A:

That's just like reality stars, what they see on TV is entertainment.

Speaker A:

But you in real life, what is a day like Walking with Love More?

Speaker B:

I mean, me is pretty much the same.

Speaker B:

What I do is share.

Speaker B:

I'm just sharing what I actually do.

Speaker B:

That's the biggest thing that I do is be transparent and show that you can still rise by being grounded and regular.

Speaker B:

You know, like those things.

Speaker B:

It's ordinary.

Speaker B:

You got ordinary, then you got extraordinary.

Speaker B:

To be extraordinary.

Speaker B:

That mean you just being extraordinary.

Speaker A:

I might throw them gems out there, y'.

Speaker B:

All, you know?

Speaker A:

I like that.

Speaker A:

I like that.

Speaker A:

No, it's fat.

Speaker A:

That was a good one.

Speaker A:

I really like that.

Speaker A:

Well, I think you're definitely extra, extra extraordinary.

Speaker A:

I do, I do, I do.

Speaker A:

I think that you've been putting in the work.

Speaker A:

I see you.

Speaker A:

I think that was the.

Speaker A:

I forget what little.

Speaker A:

I don't know if it was first Friday or something.

Speaker A:

And I think it was a couple black men with some horses out there.

Speaker A:

And you were in support of that.

Speaker A:

I thought that was so dope.

Speaker A:

Dope for our culture.

Speaker A:

Like you don't see too many black men riding these horses.

Speaker A:

I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker A:

I have, but I be kind of scared.

Speaker A:

Cause one threw me off.

Speaker A:

But I love the cowboy, you know, black culture thing.

Speaker A:

What's up with that?

Speaker A:

Like, I seen you supporting that.

Speaker B:

I mean, that was growing up in Oakland.

Speaker B:

That's something you'll see every blue moon.

Speaker B:

You know, you got the uc, black people on cowboy, on horses, running through the east, on going down 73rd.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Just.

Speaker B:

It's just a culture that's there.

Speaker B:

And even going to camp, I was able to see that everybody not exposed to that.

Speaker B:

And for them to just be able to show these different images because all the, the cowboys was black people.

Speaker A:

It does.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

So that's the other side of it.

Speaker B:

That's the main thing.

Speaker B:

So I just, instead of me trying to make these bold statements, I'm just like, I ain't going.

Speaker B:

It's nothing to debate.

Speaker B:

Look at the reality I just showed.

Speaker B:

I just showed.

Speaker B:

It ain't nothing to debate.

Speaker B:

It's the reality.

Speaker B:

It's us.

Speaker B:

It's really hella cultural out here.

Speaker A:

It is, it is.

Speaker A:

And this started it.

Speaker B:

That was Richmond Cowboy.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker A:

I seen that's what it was.

Speaker A:

Shout out to Richmond Cowboy.

Speaker A:

You know, I've been seeing a lot of just posts going around and certain things.

Speaker A:

So I be like creating questions in my own head because.

Speaker A:

Because I be dealing with my own struggles in like, you know, trying to support people and wanting support from people.

Speaker A:

And the lack, I think in our culture, the lack of support, I think that's one of the number one things right now that breaks my heart.

Speaker A:

What is something right now that breaks your heart that you see every day from the town?

Speaker B:

Something that break my heart.

Speaker B:

It's just a self hatred.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Like sometimes you like in it to be like, I'm for the town today.

Speaker B:

And then next day somebody, you know, something happened and you just be like, man, forget the town.

Speaker B:

I love the baby.

Speaker B:

But then I ain't never coming back.

Speaker B:

And woo.

Speaker B:

So it'd be that kind of wishy washy energy is what be breaking my heart, you know?

Speaker B:

Cause it's like stand on something.

Speaker B:

Which one is it?

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

But just even to speak on that, like, you saying, like, just support and feeling support.

Speaker B:

We gotta be our own support.

Speaker B:

That's why that song solo, even though we in a room full of people, but we these individuals that come together, you know, so the whole energy of that song solo is about you be feeling like you by yourself.

Speaker B:

And at the same time, it is just you when you wake up, go to sleep, you know?

Speaker B:

And these people is your reflections to show you who you are and who.

Speaker B:

And if you really built like that, you know.

Speaker B:

So, yeah, people, I've been changing it.

Speaker B:

I've been changing that atmosphere of.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Of people tapping in with each other, because just.

Speaker B:

That's why I'm gonna do the video.

Speaker B:

I post us together.

Speaker B:

That's.

Speaker B:

Now it's gonna support Joe Spy.

Speaker B:

It's gonna support Richie Rich.

Speaker B:

It's gonna support him.

Speaker B:

All them behind the scenes, they gon and see we working.

Speaker B:

So it's a real thing.

Speaker B:

That's what I could do, is platform everybody.

Speaker B:

And they work, you know, and that love is there, you know, And I get motivated by that.

Speaker B:

I get inspired.

Speaker B:

Cause y' all giving me confirmation, like, okay, I'm making an impact for real.

Speaker A:

No, for real.

Speaker A:

You are def.

Speaker A:

I definitely give you that.

Speaker A:

I feel like we both are.

Speaker A:

You know what I mean?

Speaker A:

Even me creating this platform for people like you that are.

Speaker A:

You're an artist.

Speaker A:

So for people like you that are artists to come and give the authentic side of them all on what the world want to know.

Speaker A:

Like, what was your childhood like growing up?

Speaker A:

What was your childhood like?

Speaker A:

Cause I see, like you said, you deal with a lot of foster.

Speaker A:

You.

Speaker A:

You said you didn't come.

Speaker B:

I mean, I feel I'm from acorn, so I'm from West Oakland, and then I moved to San Leandro, and then I moved to Tracy.

Speaker B:

So I had, like.

Speaker B:

I feel like I got the best of both worlds, everything, you know, and it was gradual.

Speaker B:

So to be ACORN is like one of the only hoods, you know, not hoods, but only projects.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker B:

Oh, hood.

Speaker A:

You said it right.

Speaker B:

That's a hood, you know, so.

Speaker B:

But it is a hood.

Speaker B:

But I'm saying it's the only projects, you know, to be there and in the Oakland, and it's just prominent.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Everybody know what's up and what's going on there.

Speaker B:

And I'm hella rooted my whole family.

Speaker B:

You know, it's a thing.

Speaker B:

But then to go to San Leandro and be so close but so far, you feel me?

Speaker B:

Some people don't go from West Oakland to East Oakland to the lake, you know, to San Francisco.

Speaker B:

They gonna go to that next city.

Speaker B:

So, yeah, I got to get that experience there in San Leandro and then to go to Tracy, that's now we in the Valley, and I put a lot of energy out there, you know, and coming back out here now, people that.

Speaker B:

When I was living out there now, people got to go live out there now, and I'm back out this way.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Like, that's what a lot of people move moving at.

Speaker B:

And so I know the fabric.

Speaker B:

A lot of this area, even going to Sacramento and just, you know, all that, just Antioch, all that, man, I'd have been all through here, you know, through the bay.

Speaker B:

So just.

Speaker B:

Just stitching it all together.

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

That's why I'm here.

Speaker B:

You know, I'm like, okay, I see you got a platform, people behind it.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna bring my part.

Speaker B:

You feel me at least right now, you know, when I glow up and have more, I could have more to offer, you know, but ultimately, it's like I could do at least give somebody something.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Everybody something.

Speaker B:

That's that support.

Speaker B:

That's what I do.

Speaker B:

I give at least everybody one.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Yo, look like.

Speaker A:

You look like a baby.

Speaker B:

And his spirit, that's part of it, too, though.

Speaker B:

I remember some Brad work.

Speaker B:

I was working as an electrician, and one of the bros from the other trade was like, no, I thought you was younger.

Speaker B:

I thought you was younger because your spirit ain't broken.

Speaker B:

That's the part of it.

Speaker B:

But that's the part where I go out there and show it and share, you know, Because I see that a lot of people.

Speaker B:

When I was looking for guidance out here by a lot of OGs up in the.

Speaker B:

In the situation, in this environment, did you feel supported?

Speaker B:

No, I'm just saying when I was looking for them, looking towards them, they.

Speaker B:

They will say, like, man, I remember I was just like you until this happened.

Speaker B:

Like.

Speaker B:

Like, reality had to set in, and that was the, like, divide.

Speaker B:

I always felt that was frustrating.

Speaker B:

It's like, damn, for me to succeed, I always gotta make this conversion.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

But that's the thing I didn't do.

Speaker B:

I stayed.

Speaker B:

And that's the thing that most people like.

Speaker B:

Okay, for sure.

Speaker B:

And they need that.

Speaker B:

We all need that reflection.

Speaker A:

We do.

Speaker B:

It ain't on me.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Cause it took Richie Rich to do what he doing.

Speaker B:

It take for y' all to do it.

Speaker B:

It took for Hook Mitchell to jump over the car.

Speaker B:

For me to have any type of anything, I'd be motivated them days, you know what I'm saying?
