I when I heard the call in they wanted
me I was like oh yeah I got to do this
for sure and then me after everything
that we done did today it was lit it was
so it's so stuff yeah look at you now
man you're sitting in what looks like a
castle but we're coming a long way from
where you're from man uh we're both from
New York yes born and raised for sure
you're actually born in Brooklyn born in
Brooklyn what part of Brooklyn uh I
forgot I would go to Brooklyn Hospital
okay I wanna I forgot what part okay
because I wasn't too familiar because I
really was raised in the Rocks but um I
I had my time I just looked out like a
Flatbush around Flatbush I used to like
be there a lot when I was running a
grown up before I moved to the Bronx oh
yeah and at that time you grew up in you
special time in the shelter is that
right yeah no at that time that was
actually before so funny story is I live
in Georgia now but who's in the shelter
it was also in Georgia oh so my mom was
going through a lot of stuff uh we was
in the shelter actually here where we
are right now and then after when we got
back on our feet a little bit we went to Brooklyn
Brooklyn
um and just like uh try to get things
done and then after that being after
everything changed we went right to the
uh the Bronx for how do you feel like
that experience in the shelter molded
you at all do you have memories of it
yeah glimpses it's glimpses I still my
mom still got the shelter sheets on her
crib like for me yeah like we still got that

um I just remember like look like the
craziest stuff that people from there uh

yeah in school was crazy you got the the
locks now but back then your mom would
only ever give you a light Caesar yeah
when I was how you like yo y'all are

I was bad and I used to love making
jokes I used to always love making jokes
making people laugh and um they gave me
Class Clown they give me class cloud or
middle school and they give me class
clown in high school no funniest person
in the high school yeah I think that did
they yeah they did they did they did so
yeah I used to always get that a
yearbook so you used to spend a lot of
time on 148 shooting Harlem you went to
FDA uh what was that experience like
being from the Bronx coming down to
Harlem where is there any Dynamics so
everybody know like everybody who's from
New York like it's a it's going to be a
stepping stone to where you're gonna
have to take public uh public
transportation Yeah by yourself like I
took it a little bit in middle school
and after in high school it was a big
step because I was taking the train from
the Bronx to Harlem so as a freshman
like you going to a whole another
section of New York City is like a big
step so I was hopping on that train
going straight to FDA and um it was cool
it was it was very cool freshman year
was pretty cool
um I was still trying to make people
laugh still out of doing stuff I was
doing skits in high school
um and it was pretty cool my principal
called my my videos garbage though
because she found out I was doing it in
school and then she looked at my videos
and called them trash like I would never
forget that like No Cap have you seen
her since nah nah I've never I haven't
seen her since I go camp have they ever
asked you to come back to the school
yeah to the school yeah yeah I will go I
will go for the students though I would
go for the students and I would go to
say like like know what I'm saying like
what was said but I would just go like
just to motivate students I was there
because I was in their you know their
position not too long ago no cap so it's
crazy how life just turns around what do
you think she thinks now when she sees
you as you know and and that you are I mean
mean
I mean I don't know I don't know what
you think but uh
I hope she still has the same opinion
you feel what I'm saying that's about I
hope she has to say you hope she still
thinks you're good yeah yeah I feel like
once you say something like you I'd like
it's just a lesson like you have to like
be careful with what you say to me like
the like it's very powerful so you have
to be careful what you say you never
know who you're talking to like who this
person is going to end up being you also
were inspired by shiggy and Randy used
to watch their skits on Instagram and
stuff like yeah I used to I wasn't
inspired about them but I used to like
see this kiss all the time like all the
time they had like oh what I was doing
like they was going crazy like shout out
to shiggy Randy Al Capri too like they
had the city going crazy for sure yeah
yeah so the First skit that you had that
popped off was like a parent-teacher
conference moment uh when you think back
to that skit and when you watch it does
it make you feel anything do you do you
look back at your old self and be like
oh yeah my oldest kids is like cringy
but at that moment of time it was like
one of the best ideas I ever had and
people supported it with that video like
that one was crazy because I was posting
a skit and it was going crazy and I was
going to school the next day and I'm
like yo anybody seen that skit you can't
wait for the lunchroom yeah yeah I can't
wait you feel what I'm saying so because
you have your fit folded out on the bed
first thing now I'm in there for the
first day of school first day of school
I used to do that but uh my skits I
looked back at it and it was like really
cringy like I was like bro what was I
thinking like but it's who I am you feel
what I'm saying so I feel like that's
part of the process but you got to go
through you got to go through that
moment right there when was the last
time you feel like you looked back at
some [ __ ] and was like damn that was
crazy like that morning this morning
this morning my my first YouTube video
about my recommendation I said all right
let me just watch it real quick and I
watched it I was like damn like this is
my first YouTube video like looking at
the thumbnail and everything and I was
looking at the comments I love seeing to
see I love seeing like people come back
to our first music video and comment
like yo this way he started looking the
way he is now stuff like that I love
comments like that yeah it's fire yeah
it's been a long for the journey then
you went off to college you went to SUNY
Morrisville SUNY Mooresville yeah what
was the college experience like for you
I mean College was lit you're still
making videos and stuff I'm sure you had
a little bit of cloud on campus uh uh
Cottage was lit because and I and I feel
like I took it I should have been more
there because like the content on a
college campus like if I was in college
right now like and who I am and what I
do it would have been so lit like it's
just actionable you have freedom
um everybody on this campus like that'll
do mad stuff I was recording videos I
used to be embarrassed of recording
videos because it would be like a little
like I was a shy but it breaks off that
shell you feel what I'm saying and it
was lit they had parties girls on campus
all that business administration was
your major yeah uh what did you think
you wanted to do with that but when you
selected that just get money like this
like do some type of business I don't
know like I feel like anybody I feel
like YouTube business administration you
just want to do something like in the
business I already chose that because I
was confused on what I wanted to do like
I had a goal of being an actor and do
was something with the camera so I
didn't know what I really wanted to do
so I told the business administration
because it was just like a general field
and confirmed to anything but it seems
like your focus wasn't only on school he
was also staying up super late into the
early mornings editing videos trying to
stay consistent on a posting schedule on
YouTube and all of these platforms uh
how did you balance like it was hard it
was hard I was doing like like it was
often times where I'll have my laptop my camera
camera
I record that day
edit edit that same day and then after
like post by eight o'clock like I will
record in the morning edit that same
time and post by eight o'clock and have
it up and running and there was times
where I had to upload before class and
and have five minutes of Sprint from my
dorm all the way to the other side of
the campus for um for class so I can't
be late and stuff like that but it was
kind of hard balancing it because you
know I put so much effort into my videos
and I had school work to do so it was
kind of incredulated work yeah uh your
roommate Bach yeah he watched the whole
journey yeah wow yeah shout out to Bach
yeah he watched the whole thing happen
like I remember times when he recorded
me like in my door and like it was like
yo he's gonna make it like he was
recording me because he seen the grind
he seen me staying up he seen me editing
like that type I think that type of my
like anybody who like has blown up they
can relate to when you in your grinding
stage like that hunger is different it's
about if you could maintain it or not
like that hunger that you get is like a
different type of like I don't know what
it is like I all I wanted to do was just
work work work work so
um once you get that in you like it's
just like you can't stop
do you still have that same wonder you
think 100 yes I don't play when it comes
to like my content because people will
get comfortable and things can slow down
like I know that all this can go away
like this so I gotta keep my head
focused stay in the right path and just
execute every time are there ever
moments where you're like
not days but maybe moments where you
don't have that grinding you have to
remind yourself like all right let me
let me yeah of course of course that's
like um before streams uh I think my
hardest my push was my sabathon at 30
days of a thought
um I did a stream for like 24 7 for 30
days straight but
um that was definitely like a challenge
for me but I'm glad I pushed through
that but of course there's like times
where like I literally like stare at my
screen like do I really want to start
click Start streaming and it's up to you
like mentally you got to be able to say
okay no take a break you feel what I'm
saying go relax or like no you're just
being lazy like come on bro you're just
being lazy Abdul had times where I've
done been lazy and been like nah but
when I do spark it it ends up being like
the craziest dream ever like that's the
thing about streaming is like it could
be the it could be that day and you
would never know like where some crazy
[ __ ] would happen like there's always
some crazy [ __ ] happening while I'm
streaming right but you never know the
day that you decide you know what [ __ ]
it let me not do it yeah I might have
just lost out on one yeah okay greatest
moments ever yeah see I have a similar
experience when I'm going to the gym
because like I hate going to the gym
sometimes I pull up to the gym and I'll
be like man [ __ ] this I'm out and I
leave and I don't regret it at all yeah
because [ __ ] it like when you have so
much more and stay you can see do you
ever press start on the stream and maybe
a few minutes and they're like oh [ __ ]
this yeah they're doing it yes I think
every single at one point could relate
to that like
I've clicked start and be like like
during my intros there's like I play an
intro like it's just me like it's like
an intro screen and I'm like damn I
don't want to do this right now like
damn you ever back out and like say I'm
not Grandma nah I never do it I just do
it and then because because I stream for
like I've started I've seen like eight
to ten hours so like when I click that
start I better be ready to lock in for
eight to ten hours you don't ever cut it
sure I try not to I try not to but uh
but when I do click Start and I'm like damn
damn
um I push through and it gets to them
you can feel it it gets to a point where
it's like some [ __ ] happened and nothing
happened nothing happened nothing and
then by the time by the time you even
know it it's the end of the stream and
you're like yo I'm glad like I feel so
good that I stream so
um yeah sure I don't want to jump into
the streaming just yet because
chronologically we haven't gotten there
yet how many serious bookings did you
get to the email address send that24
gmail.com serious bookings yeah like you
had a graphic that was like follow me on
yeah I I had a lot of serious uh that's
no longer my business I know that's why
but yeah but I had I had like a lot of
people hit up that email like like uh on
my coming up days like I definitely had
like some a little like uh momentum when
it came to like people that wanted to
pay me to promote certain things so it
was it was useful it was useful like
okay at the time it worked different era
but it was just funny I was like man I
wonder how many at that time you were
still in college and [ __ ] yeah I was
getting like okay at that time I was
posting like promos on my story for like
twenty dollars ten dollars I was posting
stuff on my infeed for like
20 like 20 it was crazy like the price
was extremely low like it was crazy but
at the time that was like that's what I
needed like if you don't say that's what
I could get you feel me so what's the
going rate for something like that now
if somebody say hey I want a promo on
this story what would you charge I I
ain't gonna say no prices but even I
just talk to my team about that you go
and I'll say because it fluctuate you
know every day is a it's a new thing
it's so funny because
um I don't take all like like it like
bro I'm telling you like it could be
good it could be good money if I just
don't mess with the like the vision or
the product I would just say no yeah I
would just say no to it
um but yeah it does fluctuate so that's
something that my team can answer at the
time you know twenty dollars for IG
story ten dollars for a promo yeah
you've come up yeah wearing my book yeah
it used to be and that used to give me a
far away like bro that used to give me
the things that I like wanted like at
least or like just to say I have money
like just to say like this is like I
have some type of money coming in
um but that used to help me a lot no cap
do you remember what like at that stage
like a big deal that you had maybe
somebody was like yo I got a book for
you or like okay so the biggest deal at
that point there was these it was this
airpod company
it was like these fake airpods and they
want me to promote it I was like I they
they said they said all you need to do
500 500 to shout out in the YouTube
video I did it and they literally said I
thought it was like magic I thought I
thought I was scamming or something I'm
like bro like nothing so fast like I was
literally just saying like yo get these
pods and after like but like uh oh they
would give me 500 and then that was it I
did it every time and then
check it out yeah I don't think nobody
really ordered it because they knew it
was fake and stuff but it was a one for
me listen you did Georgia yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah
so yeah that was that was like one of
the biggest things I had for me no cap
and I had like this uh booking in New
Jersey to public to a party I got paid
like 200 to pull up I was like yo this
is lit it's like what was the party set
the scene for was it a birthday party
okay like it was like a jersey party I
think it was about like
I was yelling I'm probably like bro I
was young I was like 17. it was like
just a whole bunch of teenagers and it
was just straight Jersey music like
Jersey like the like you know what
people remember something yeah it was
like Jersey music and it was going crazy
it was lit George you know how to get a
little when it comes to parties and it
was just mad people in there like it was
just crazy it like it looked like
Grandma I can remember it kind of like
it was like you know like basement like
a small ass basement but everybody was
in there getting lit so um yeah that's
what I can remember like that's how far
back two hundred dollars now generally
the way bookings go is like they give
you a front end and then you get the
other half when you get there but at
that point I imagine how did it work did
they just give you 200 when you came oh
no I just showed up and I showed up we
didn't do a lot of those ready to go you
feel what I'm saying that's it I go a
lot it was like life was like so easy
back then like yo like I just pull up
they give me 200 I get twerpa a little
bit to leave did you actually get lit
with it yeah hell yeah no the thing is
that's crazy is like I want to put up
regardless of the 200 a lot like I was
going to be in there regardless you feel
what I'm saying it was lit in there so
so when I went there and I got the money
it was just a win-win you got paid the
party you don't get no baby you don't
get no better than that so as this story
goes now you join ANP yeah uh by what is
it and it means possible okay and for
those who aren't familiar what is it
it's like a collect and it means it's
possible it's a six of us Duke Phantom
agent Chris eight all right Duke Phantom
agent Davis and me one more time all
right Duke Phantom agent Chris Davis and
me are you sure yes yes for sure okay um
but yeah it's a it's a it's basically
six people that we all do the same thing
stream and make YouTube videos and we
all came together and it's like the
craziest chemistry ever right now yeah
those are my boys right there so um oh
yeah that's what amp is and you've been
a part of them since when 2021 2021 oh
so it's fairly recent yeah 2021 I bet I
just joined like two years ago and
um like literally like I was in college
when I was in the middle of joining and
everybody used to be like yo why is Kyle
flying out so much like I was flying
from there to Georgia and then flying
back for class the next day like how are
you getting there what airport is uh
Syracuse okay it's near uh Morrisville
is like a 40 minute drop I seriously
Drive the Syracuse yeah and that's where
I was like I pay somebody to drive me to
Syracuse and then pay somebody to come
pick me up right and then you get to the
airport then you fly we're here to
Atlanta yeah then I come to Atlanta and
after like um uh then after that yeah
take an Uber or our me and Phantom drive
together to the to the house that we was
at the time and it'll go crazy it was
crazy the experience of me coming to
Atlanta was like yo what is going on
right now I'm sure especially because
you're a city kid never been to it or
you grew up in Atlanta you said earlier
on but I'm sure as an adult it was your
first time experience the South like
that was it like a culture shock room
yeah it was definitely a culture shock I
told the story all the time the first
time I came to Atlanta was with my boy
Phantom who was driving in the car and
no story sure I had got to my boy Aegis
neighborhood at the time agent was like
already like a good established YouTuber
he had to hit a mill he had plaques and
yeah like some uh he had a good amount
of views and he already had his [ __ ]
situated so I went to his neighborhood
and I seen so much like big houses and I
was like wow like yo because in New York
you only see apartment building that
leaves and stores and stuff like that so
I was in this neighborhood and I'm
looking out the windows I'm like yo
these are some big ass houses like some
Bank houses so I was looking at it like
yo this is crazy so it's up to your
shock for me and you got one now yeah
yeah now with now a little bit though in
the firehouse yeah yeah it's this
beautiful thing look at the journey yeah
um so at that point had you started
streaming it or you still hadn't started
streaming I was doing YouTube still okay
just strictly YouTube talk to me about
beginning to stream because I would say
I think I speak for a lot of hip-hop
culture in there like I really wasn't
familiar with like the streaming world
like that I hadn't really heard of it
until you and then I just kept seeing
your name pop up in my timeline you
passed this Benchmark of uh subscribers
and you pass this next Benchmark what
exactly is streaming and how did you
start doing it um the streaming is like
it act as if you're explaining it to
like my grandmother okay so streaming is
yeah so streaming is when you sit that
like and yeah like it can't be either
should be missing going live like you're
just going live on a platform but what
it really is is like you have like a PC
set up with like some monitors one or
two depending on like it's always
interesting setups because it depends on
your come up like if you have money or
not so like you don't have no money here
we say it's gonna be ghetto but it's
good though like being like having it at
like a uh not too expensive over the top
point and then getting there is a good
thing like you always supposed to just
use the resources that you have so it's
just like you a chair a desktop a setup
you click live it'll just hook it to the
screen like from a third person from a
third person perspective it looked kind
of stupid like it sounds nice like if
you walk into my room while I'm
streaming I'm just literally talking to
two modelers like it's weird but you
have the chat and the chat is like
you're friendly and I'm assuming it's
just like you just do whatever you want
like for me honestly there's like Gamers
who game game and all that stuff but for
me I'm grateful enough to be able to do
whatever I want like so um that's
basically what it is okay and so you
press start streaming you have the chat
which is people who are watching from
wherever in the world they want and they
can interact with one another and with
you uh but what exactly
makes up to eight to ten hours that you
stream like what are you doing yeah so
rough schedule I spark stream I get on
uh I'll probably react to some videos
react to some things that's going on
right now and everything everything is a
news is something new so I'm on YouTube
rather for a little bit then I got this
little Reddit thing for my community
they drop a whole bunch of memes and a
whole bunch of funny videos anybody that
you know mentioned me or anything like
my name on this or I watch that then for
the rest of the stream I just gain like
I just play video games and well I just
call people mid-stream or people call me
or people text me my stream or like so
crazy stuff what happened like I could
let it be streaming and then somebody
like yo this person just rushing you
this person especially I'm like you're
lying and I go over there and I see it
and it's like a domino effect like you
never know what's gonna happen yeah so
wow okay and who would you say is the
target demo like who is watching this thing
thing
um it's a uh it's a lot of it's a lot of
kids that I watch but why my audience
right now has been like I've been seeing
it they've been getting a lot older and
stuff like that but I love having the
youth because you got the youth it's
like you got the next
a generation you feel what I'm saying
but um it's a good mixture now that I
got like um everything that I've done to
accomplish this stuff it's a good
culture I have I don't brought like a
lot of people that never heard about it
to the platform when they and they gotta
hear about it now everybody's watching
you know yeah so that's fire you got the
whole world looking yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah so now on the twitch side there's a
lot of phrases and things that you've
said that I don't know what what they
mean or or maybe the audience wouldn't
know what what it means so like when you
say spam uh you said that there was
fan-made chat what does that mean
spamming chat means like you're
repeatedly saying something over and
over again so if I say like yo uh spam
W's if you want to see this or spam
elves and you don't I'm saying like yo
everybody say w if you want to see it
and say l if you don't so like when you
spam or something like you keep on you
keep on doing it over and over again
gotcha yeah and do you collectively
refer to them as chat when you're trying
to speak to everyone well Jordy majority
of the time I'll be saying chat but my
community called is like they're called
yeah so everybody was like oh yeah yeah
we got motion they come with the name
they sells and they just they just roll
with it and I just wrote it but majority
of the time you'll hear me say like go
chat what you think about this chat what
you think about this chat but that's the
majority of streamers I might be saying
that okay now it seems like the twitch
and the stream Community doesn't
necessarily look like us I had never
knew of any black streamers prior so do
you feel like you're uh kind of helping
lead that charge in a certain way oh in
terms of bringing attention to light on
it for sure
um but there was a lot of this this a
couple our community
um with black she was just isn't as big
as you know having the white the white
uh she was and stuff like that the the
diversity is not too crazy but
um yeah there's a couple there's a
couple like African-American streamers
that that are my friends now like raised
and a whole bunch of people
um amp we all stream now but with me personally
personally
what I was doing is I was bringing a
crazy light to the culture being on the
platform and dominating and doing
everything I had to do
um especially doing all the uh Black
History Month you know I had I had hit
the Milestone on the last day and that
was like a big cultural thing yeah uh I
I imagine that your experience on there
is different from someone like a white
streamer you feel like it's been more
difficult for you to build up or do you
feel like it's kind of like an even
playing field when I was starting like
when I was coming up I used to get
banned like crazy and people used to
think it was like like due to like
racing and stuff like that and um the
way it was looking it was like okay yeah
like this something
something's going on like something
going on everybody used to get banned
left and right and and stuff like that
and it's uh a person
um that wasn't black will do it and they
wouldn't get banned you know it was like
a weird type of like Vibe so I'm not
gonna lie like and that's how it was
looking and right right now for me I I
could speak right now I'm I'm chilling
now like I'm I'm good nothing be
happening to me
um I'm chilling but every time I get bad
like I I go on every blog though like
every blog post is when I get mad it's
weird but but I'm chilling right now
though yeah okay good yeah you are
currently the most subscribed to
streamer in the world yeah do you
remember though your very first
subscriber like the first time you you
got a notification or maybe the first
couple were you sold him what's actually
funny is if I if I spark stream today
and my first like 10 subscribers comment
they have a badge next to the name that
says first so you can see who subscribed
first about first ever like first started
started
um so like I remember uh my boy walking
uh I'm married I have a couple people
that subscribe they're not my moderators
so they helped me control the chat and
they do what they got to do and yeah I
remember that and I used to be like dang
they they don't even know me like that
but they're spending five dollars to
just get or they get no ads and get all
these nice emotes and get um and be able
to watch me so I was like I really
respect it okay
do you remember the first time you took
a fan picture and you're like yes uh
yeah when I was doing skits when I was
doing skits I used to take pictures with
people what was that first ever fail
interaction like I can't remember the
very first one but all the ones that I
can't remember it was like yo wow like
people people actually like me like it
was crazy like people actually like want
to take a picture with me like at first
it was like like why me out of everybody
but like I'm forever grateful for
anybody who supported me and everybody
who does like it's a it's a good look
yeah do you ever get in a mode where you
feel overwhelmed with so much love that
you don't know how to balance it
nah I would say the only times where I
feel overwhelmed is and I don't even
think I would feel around but like in
person like if I'm in a if I'm at a
large like Gathering and people
everybody just know me and everybody
wants a picture of me it it it it does
get like on my like everybody sends a
picture but I but in my head I'm like yo
I gotta take a picture with everybody I
got security and then sometimes they be
trying to like be like nah Bobby like yo
come on like this they I never know what
else gonna see me ever again or like you
feel me I don't know what it means to
them like with me and what when I went
through enrollment and stuff like that I
remember that feeling so other people
just having it for me I could never take
that for granted like never so I just
gotta take it like for sure explain to
me how the twitch side works so there's
followers and there's subscribers what's
the difference yeah so everybody usually
confuses it so father was just like okay
let me follow you when you subscribe you
paying to like oh to like don't get any
ads so like you can just watch the shoes straight
straight
um you get like the inspired emails that
I created and everybody gets to use it
and um and it's and it's just a whole
bunch of benefits you get uh that
somebody who follows us a half how many
followers do you have on Twitch yeah I
think I got like I think I'm closing in
on 5.6 million 5.6 million yeah okay and
then how many subscribers do you have uh
subscribers I have 80 81 000 81 000
people that are paying five dollars a
month so when you do the math it's like
400k a month what happened it is a month
and that just comes to you or is there
some sort of split that that uh Nah when
people don't uh so so twitch have like
uh so the whole thing is this is a well
when I come I talk about money and stuff
I don't like talk about it but this like
people with twitch is like with a
subscribe with a sub is like originally
it's 50 50. people in the trip space
have different splits okay I'm not gonna
say mine but people have different
splits and um that's how it is and then
a lot of the other money come from like
ad watching and all the other stuff
other revenue streams yeah it's a
leverage thing I'm sure if you have
bigger influence you can negotiate it
yeah they're split in just 50 50 that no
not necessarily like on Twitch not
necessarily but the other yeah I like
this yeah yeah yeah okay what's been
would you say the best part of all the
this maybe it's getting to go somewhere
for free or meeting someone or what what
specific experience for you has meant
the most so like meeting people like
first of all first of all I would not
even think I'll be talking to Nicki
Minaj or Drake or or people of that
stature like like it kind of feels weird because
because
I've seen these people like blow up and
I've listened to these people enough and
I know them their whole careers he has
seen what they got going on and for me
to even be friends with these people is
like yo that's insane you feel me so
yeah we're meeting people yeah meeting
people is inspired yeah now a quick
Google search shows that your net worth
is nine million dollars
is that accurate I'm not saying nothing
about that
I'm not saying nothing
but you're doing all right for yourself
yeah I'm doing I'm blessed yes I am
blessed for sure yes what is that like
being able to you know take care of your
family what type of things can you do
it's amazing when I bought my mom a
house it was like her house her cars
that she wanted it was like wow like you
feel what I'm saying like
like my mom could call me with anything
they she needs and I'm able to like
provide it it's like insane so I pray
every day and I'm just thankful and I
just thank God every single day like yo
I used to say about like five dollars
from school every single day just to get
like an Uber ride so like I could be
able to go home on Fridays and stuff
like that I used to say every minute you
know I would get it to it now it's like
I'm truly blessed like on like so many
levels like blessed you feel what I'm
saying so it's a great feeling what was
the most fire thing for you being able
to to to get was it maybe something for
your mom maybe something for your sister
or my mom I would say my mom like her
house she has a like to say that she has
a house to herself is like crazy like in
a nice backyard that she can just chill
on privacy like that's the craziest
thing ever yeah congratulations bro you
were once uh uh a member I guess of EOP
when you were in Dallas
yeah yeah
honest I was tell me about your theory
about why it's best to go to the strip
club right before they close okay yeah I
I did some research you know I'm saying
okay it's best you never go to a strip club
club
early so no why why because you go to
strip club early unless you want some
like crazy stuff you go to Crystal curly
all right you throw your money you feel
the same by the time it's time to close
everybody else gonna come in they gonna
throw any money or you're going to be
done it's not gonna be the money it's
always best to throw it at the end
because by the time you get there first
of all everybody who was already in
there they've done everybody's stuff
they already blew they back yeah yeah
anyway let's get everybody to end you
just go crazy you just go crazy in there
and then other all the dancers just love
you you know that they just love they
just love you right so it's it's by
coming late you weed out the
competitions yeah not many of them so
now you have to sign the fun you always
got to go most close close at like 3am
you always gotta go at 2 A.M 2 A.M yeah
2 A.M is a good time to send it home
okay yeah next time I want to go with
the guys and we'll go right into it cool
yeah we gotta go right at 2AM bro or 2
30. 2 30 is kind of crazy because like 2
15. 215 is a good one yeah two pitching
is a good one no Team 15 they did
um right now would you say that the
twitch landscape is something that
anybody could do or do you think that
there is some element of luck to it is
there some element of uh skill that you
have to have oh so so most people think
streaming is easy you just spark it up
you know anybody can do it
um I think first you have to I think first
first
anybody could give it a try for sure I
think people that want to give it a try
100 should give it a try one I wouldn't
recommend shooting for anybody who just
generally doesn't fall in love with it
or just generally doesn't have any
interest in it and just wants to do it
for money or wants to do is do it
because they see it's a new trend I
don't think anybody should do it um who
just does it like that if you generally
fall in love with it then I would say Do It
It
um when you start off you cut it as at
your own pace and I started off I was
doing like three hour streams four hour
streams like like doing it and that was
a lot for me but when you talk about
serious streaming you have to think like
entertaining thousands of people for as
much hours as I do it's crazy like to
keep the ball rolling and to do what you
like I'm a just shot achiever mostly so
I'm not usually gaming and stuff like
that I'm usually just talking to the
camera stuff so just to be able to do
that is crazy
um it takes hard work and you gotta be
able to we have competition people
stream two you feel what I'm saying so
you got to be able to like keep up with
people and do what you got to do yeah
and make sure your community is good and
and make sure you're in your own leg
did you invent the word Riz came okay so
my it's okay so look rich came from me
and my group of friends me and my group
of friends used to always say it and
stuff like that and
um I definitely popularized popularized
it on my stream I feel arized popular
yeah yeah how do you say that one was a
popular popularized popularized
popularized popular
popularized the word and when I was
saying it on stream and stuff like a lot
it started going crazy you feel what I'm
saying then um yeah it went crazy
internationally everybody say it now
it's just uh it's just in people's
vocabulary and that's what it is where
did the word derive from though like
where did y'all get it where did you it
just like from us being at home like
just talking like me and my friends to
talk and then like one person said it
and the other favorites and said it that
I said it on the stream and then it went
crazy but it's not like short for
something else or not not so when I had
when I had when I heard it nah it was
just rhythmic game you feel me people
say it's super Charisma okay but it's
what was that experience like being
interested in hip-hop now but you know
little baby coming on the stream I spice
you know yeah it was inspired because
um I think I have a good I have a fire like
like uh
uh
like way that people look at me is like
my like with music I'm doing my own
thing with the entertainment but for
music just adding to a loop and then the
culture behind that is so fire to me
without um told me he wouldn't be in a
music video it was fired because when I
when I just want to rock for the first
time I was doing that dance every single
day on my stream like when it first came
out like if you could find it I was
literally doing that dance every single
day on so I said yo this is going to
blow up this is actually going to blow
up I kept doing it kept doing it kept
doing it and then he invited me for the
music video and it got crazy and a whole
bunch of people he had a lot on me he
had he had made me posts where he's
gonna be at I said bro you Uzi why don't
you just post it he was like this is
just city right go ahead and post it it
was at 1am everybody popped out and I
was like surprised like it was crazy
beautiful thing yeah to a certain degree
you have to fake it until you make it
for your first ever YouTube video you
had some screenshots up that yeah uh yo
bro when you're gonna come on you yeah
but those are really you texting
yourself yeah yeah so I in my intros in
my intro stuff I say yo people are
texting me these things saying yo
remember to start YouTube I think the
messages said yo start YouTube
um you gotta you gotta make a YouTube
channel you got to start uh creating
videos on YouTube but that was it was on
me I was just texting myself
screenshotting it cropping it and then
putting it on the screen you also did
that for a q a when you submitted a
question to yourself as did I if you had
a baby
did I you said that uh and then you made
a video saying I had a baby
in college yeah I probably did that in
college for those kids watching out
there why is it sometimes important for
you to fake it until you make it no okay
okay so for YouTube it's bad to
clickbait I gained to learn that it's
actually bad to clickbait you never want
to clickbait because when you grow up
when you actually blow up and clickbait
click bait it's bad because people will
watch the videos no more because they
think you're just lying on the top but
in a certain degree you got to be able
to be able to know how to twist it so
you can get attention and then make sure
they [ __ ] with you for that attention
like with the Q a [ __ ] I had said like
bro I gotta just make up something so
like I don't got no thumb doing title
for a q a something gotta something
gotta happen you know what I'm saying
it's hard like like and to anybody who's
doing content creation or doing YouTube
right now it is the hardest time right
now to to even like blow up or come up
with ideas that haven't been done yet
like it is the hardest thing right now
like to do that so um so whoever's doing
it like you gotta just be able to choose
it wisely and know what to do and just
be smart what you do for what I'm saying
test so my last question for you man
what's the deal now so you're you're on
Twitch it seems like people Bounce
Around similarly to like basketball
where you can go to this team and that
team and there's other streaming
platforms are you on Twitch exclusively

show that's exclusively on Rumble and my
boy speed

uh we have a show a rumble is um is I'm
super blessed to even have that
um it was a big move and uh we got that
show of Rumble and I still should want
to Twitch or yeah any stream of platform
what's the relationship with screen like
is he is he really like he's like my
little brother he's like my little
brother he I just like with speed is like

experiencing things like he's very young

through things and he always asks me

a great content creator you know and he
he's just growing up and I'm seeing it
in my eyes and to have a show with him
