What do you think you bring to the table at the BWS?

I bring my position, on every championship team everyone must play their position. I'm a role player and I play to win.

What is your place in hip hop?

Ask me that same question in 5 years.

This time last year you were getting ready to drop your first independent album. Do you think you've accomplished a lot in your short time in the rap game?

In my short time in the rap game I did the unthinkable. I don't think anybody in this world can do what I do. I'm a fast learner and I just get better every single day. If anybody out there heard my 100 Bars, I'm ten times better than that right now. My short year in this shit, I been doing the unthinkable, creating this buzz and doing nothing but getting better everyday.

How do you come up with some of these lines you spit?

Alot of people ask me that. When I'm listening to the beat, I do what the beat tells me to do. It's not that I sit there for hella long trying to come up with hot lines throughout the week. That shit just comes to my head right when the beat comes on. I just do what comes naturally. Alot of people say Im not a rapper, I kind of feel like that sometimes cause I don't think about rap at all during the day. Sometimes I feel like I need to though. As soon as I turn that music on, I'm in my own world. It's like the Butterfly Effect. I just black out and wake up 10 minutes later with some classic shit wrote down.

What producers have you been working with?

I been working with my main dude,  J.R. Rotem.  He is a beast.  When me and him get together it's like Karl Malone and John Stockton in their early days. We're about to stir some shit up in hip hop. I got another producer out of North Carolina named D1, he's crazy. I locked him down on my Precise production team. Niggas betta holla now, because  in a minute D1 will be pretty damn exspensive. He my age too, a young producer. DJ Lethal is another one I fuck wit. I got a smash hit with him.  I'm also working with Scott "Da Great" Storch. I've been working with alot of producers. I'm definitely gonna put together a straight classic.  And last but not least, I will have at least 1 from my great uncle the Doc!

You been staying in LA this whole past year, who have you collabed with so far?

Of course Game. I really don't collab with too many people. I'm finna do some shit with my dude Bishop Lamont from Aftermath. I probably got like 90 songs of me, just by myself. I don't fuck with too many people but I'm sure I will collab with some people.

Whats the whole LA scene like compared to the bay?

The bay is home, LA is like a big dangerous field trip.

Once you hit that next level, did you notice a huge jump in people recognizing your music and accepting you?

Immediately! I really sensed a change when I went to the biggest hip-hop market in the world: New York. I couldn't walk a block in Times Square without gettin' recognized.

Who do you make music for? What's your target audience.

Real niggas and real bitches. I make real music. I make all kinds of music. I make it for the hood, mostly cause I'm from the hood. I make music for the girls that they can relate to. All types of people. If you like music you gonna like me. You could be a big rock fan and you gonna love Ya Boy. Country singers is lovin me out here. It dont matter, if you real you gonna fuck with me. White people, Black people, Mexicans, Samoans, Asians.

You got this mixtape coming, what do you got in store with that?

All I'm gonna say is WOW. This next mixtape with me and DJ Skee is crazy. My uncle Phat Rat is hosting it. On some real  shit, it's just epic. Huge. It's gonna be a huge mixtape. I'mma do some shit nobody has ever done. If I offend you, I'm sorry. Fuck you. Mixtape is gonna be crazy.

Your new music - looking back at your first solo independent album do you think you've grown musically?

I definitely grew. I broke out the cocoon. When I first started rapping I was just a kid. 18 years old, didn't know the ropes, I didn't do anything but just rap. I grew. I been studying niggas, I'm in the industry now. I'm looking at things differently. I'm vibing, traveling. I get better every day. You can from my shit back in the day to 100 Bars.

How did you decide to record that?

My big brother Game. He came with the 100, 200, 300. It's not too many people that can do that. I felt like I could come with my 100 too. Follow in the footsteps. That really proves that you can rap. If you could do 100 bars and keep people interested, you are definitely good. Alot of people aint' gonna be fucking with you after that first 30, or 16. Me and Game keep people listening throughout the whole 100. I was just excersizing my lyrical skills.

How are things between you and San Quinn?

Solid as a rock.

Talk about your big uncle Phat Rat. What is his role in your career.

Phat Rat is one of the smartest dudes in the whole music industry. He got alot of game. He been around for a minute and knows the ins and outs. He's a very smart dude. He definitely helped better my career. He plays a big part in my career. He coming with me all the way to the top. If you see Ya Boy, you gonna see Phat Rat.

Talk about BWS. How did you end up rolling with Game?

As you know, Phat Rat is my uncle. One day I get a phone call from him sayin' The Game is looking for me with a flash light in the day time. The rest is till death do us part!

Who are your influences....who do you look up to musically?

Pac. I listen to him and just get goosebumps. I'm trying to give that same feeling. I'm trying to send chills down people's spines cause it's so real. That flow. I was influenced by him alot. He gave me goosebumps when he rap. I know yall know what it feel like. You hear some music that's just so good it gives you goosebumps. I stopped gettin that from rappers. I'm trying to give that to people, I'mma be that nigga to give you them goosebumps when I rap. I was definitely influenced by Pac alot.

I'm trying to have my music live forever just like his. Tryin to have people listen to my music in 3020.

Do you feel right now is the perfect time to enter the rap game on a major level? Your getting major love from Bay and LA..

It's all written. It's on the higher power's time, not ours. LA is my home away from home. Oddly to say so is NY and ATL. Furthermore, I'm spending more and more time in Texas.

Talk about the label Precise Music Group.

Precise Music Group is my own label started by me and Phat Rat. As you already know, the Precise Music Group is under the umbrella of the Black Wallstreet. With the blessing of the higher power, the Precise Music Group will be an imprint in hip hop for years to come. We fuckin with everybody with talent. All genres of music.

Are you in talks with any major labels? How are they reacting to your music

First of all, my uncle Phat Rat doesn't believe in talks. He has taught me to focus on perfecting my craft and if the real is the real, the strong buzz will be there. That's my focus, I'm still in development. It's more groth and buzz to come.

What do you think of hip hop right now?

It needs me! That's all I got to say.

One of the things I really notice, as far as reactions to other interviews and how you carry yourself - some people think your too cocky and into yourself. How do you respond to that?

All I say is, if I was to sit here and be a modest mothafucka. "oh yea I feel like other people are better than me" What kind of leader is that? I'm a leader, I'm supposed to think I'm the truth, I'm supposed to be cocky. If you don't like me, then fuck you. I am cocky, just look at me, you can't do what Ido, that's how I feel about that. If I was to sit up here and say other people are better than me and not tell you I'm this good, you would feel like you aint fuckin with me. If I don't believe that I'm the best, nobody else will. If you ain't feeling me you can go listen to something else cause only real niggas is feeling me. From Australia to Europe, all over the world. Japan, to Miami to New York.

One thing I see alot of is fans worldwide hitting you, do you plan to take it overseas?

We definitely going overseas. I'm gonna be just as big over there than here. I'm doing this for the world, not just the US. I'm looking for property in France as we speak.

What is the rap game payin like, are you living off rap money? You get alot of requests for collabs?

I was fortunate to come into a secure sitation from my big Unc. He blessed me with love so I'm straight while I'm developing. Plus I'm learning corporate America busines. Yeah I get alot of requests for collabs. Due to conditions to my development agreement, I'm not supposed to do collabs, except company approved ones. I'm from the streets though so sometimes offers are too good to pass up.

If you weren't rapping what would you be doing?

With my worldplay, I would be pimping from Frisco to Spain.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years. Where do you want to be in that time..

10 years wiser. Whatever my status, I'll remain humble.

How the girls reacting to you?

The girls love Ya Boy and I love them back. It ain't hard to tell. Google me. It's a few superstars at me and I'm at a few superstars.

When somebody enters the rap game one of the things that come up is confrontations and beef. Where is your stance and do you have beef with anyone?

No beefs! To tell the truth, I don't eat beef, I eat turkey, fish, and chicken nigga. On the real tip, to battle is to go to war. There's no middle. So therefore I understand that in war, you go all out and a nigga don't want to see me go all out.

I hear from different places that people think your the next best thing and the second coming of the west coast. How do you feel about that title and the pressure that comes with it, are you ready for it and do you agree with that statement.

As far as statements, I stay humble. I was brought up on the saying "If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready." Nevertheless, I know I'm the second coming, protege of the Hurricane!!!
