00:00Yo, what's up, Jack? How you doing?
00:04What's going on, brother? Good to see you.
00:06You know, you've been going crazy ever since the Kendrick album dropped.
00:10And Peekaboo was featured in the Gatorade commercial.
00:14Oh, yeah. How does that make you feel?
00:16Oh, man, it's great. It's a surreal feeling, you know?
00:20It came out of nowhere. I wasn't expecting that at all.
00:23Was that like one of the easiest checks you've ever made, you know?
00:26Uh, probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30But it's great, man. I get to, you know, see the song being played during the playoffs and shit like that.
00:35So, it's cool, man. I'm happy to see that.
00:37And I think Kendrick is the first rapper to be featured in a Gatorade commercial.
00:41Yeah, I've seen that. You know, you're a part of that.
00:43Nah, yeah, yeah. It's good to be on the right side of history, bro.
00:46Yeah, yeah, I've seen that. That shit is fire.
00:48I gotta ask, Gatorade, do they pay good? Do they pay well?
00:51They pay great.
00:53Great, man. It was a nice check.
00:55Shout out to Gatorade.
00:56Big bag energy.
00:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:59I want to know, you know, you're now officially signed to Warner. Congratulations.
01:03Appreciate it.
01:04There's been a few artists, you know, like Isaiah Rashad, who's rocking both Warner and T.D.E.
01:08Bar.
01:09Any chance we see you linked with T.D.E. down the line?
01:11Uh, man, I already linked with T.D.E. Shout out T.D.E., man.
01:15Uh, the whole camp, so I'll talk, I just talk to Punch, you know what I'm saying?
01:19I'm gonna link with Punch eventually.
01:21Hell yeah, T.D.E., PG Lane, like, man, that's the whole team, you know what I'm saying?
01:25West Coast, like, most definitely.
01:26They killing right now, ain't they?
01:27Man, what? Top of the game, bro.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Being killing.
01:31I want to say, you know, some artists blew up after being featured on Kendrick's album.
01:35Yeah.
01:36You know, others not so much.
01:37Why do you think that is?
01:38Uh, man, you know, it's just being prepared, bro.
01:42And, you know, who take it serious and who don't, and you gotta know what you're getting yourself into, you know what I'm saying?
01:48Luckily for me, I was already prepared.
01:50I've been doing this for a long time, bro, you know what I'm saying?
01:53It wasn't too far-fetched.
01:55I had all my affairs in order.
01:57So, when it hit, I was ready.
01:59I was ready.
02:00I made sure it hit two times harder than what it was supposed to, so.
02:03And, just having the right people around you, bro.
02:05You know what I'm saying?
02:06So, you already had, you know, the music ready to keep the momentum going, keep the build off the hype.
02:10Yeah, yeah.
02:11I was already locked and loaded, bro.
02:12Everybody knows, you know, Kendrick is spontaneous and very private.
02:16So, even when he hit us up to do the feature, it came left field.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Nobody could have seen that coming.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah.
02:23How was your, you know, kind of reaction to that moment?
02:25Ah, man.
02:26Going away, lost some words, but I was ready, though.
02:30You know what I mean?
02:31Yeah.
02:32I knew going in and doing that verse, be angry, say something crazy.
02:36You know what I'm saying?
02:37I was locked and loaded, though, for sure.
02:38Are you hoping he brings you out on the tour once he hits the L.A. date?
02:41Nah, for sure.
02:42He better bring me out every day.
02:43You want to come?
02:44You want to perform at, I think it's three dates?
02:45You want to perform at all of them?
02:46Yeah, I think we do like three days, bro.
02:48So, yeah.
02:49He better, what?
02:50Every day, I better be in that whole show.
02:52I'm going to be on the sidewalk, scissor, performing.
02:54I don't get no dance.
02:55Right, right.
02:56Yeah, yeah.
02:57Lastly, I'm going to let you go, but I got to ask you.
02:59Peekaboo is really, you know, taking over TikTok.
03:01Yeah.
03:02What's your favorite dance that you've seen so far with the song?
03:06Or is there one?
03:08My favorite dance?
03:09It probably has to be the one where they do the, hey, hey, hey, that's my bitch.
03:13But they like clip it and it's like stopping with their head outside.
03:16That's probably my favorite one.
03:17Or the one I just seen, it was like a black family on a boat and the white dude was dancing.
03:22He was going crazy.
03:23That was my favorite one right now, though, for sure.
03:25Have you done one, a TikTok to the song yet?
03:27I did do it.
03:28I did the one I just showed you.
03:29Okay.
03:30I did do it.
03:31I did do it.
03:32I did do it.
03:33Okay.
03:34So you've been participating in the fight too.
03:35I got to.
03:36I got to, man.
03:37I got to let me know.
03:38I got to put a face to the name, man.
03:39I'm part of one of the biggest moments in hip hop history.
03:40But a lot of people don't know my face.
03:42So I got to get out there.
03:43I got to partake in everything that calls for me.
