[00:02:42] Speaker C: We.
[00:02:42] Speaker A: We're gonna do, like, some motivational shit too. You feel me? Like, tell us how you got started with the Just Trap.
[00:02:48] Speaker B: Well, actually, I started in the clothing business in 2013, man. It was just an idea from my brother, man. He just had an idea. He. He. You know, I'm from Chicago originally. My brother's still in Chicago. He has a brand going on in Chicago called Fuck Fame.
And they was really inspiring at the time. Back in 2012, all through the Chief Keefer, they was all in those videos and everything. My brother was inspired by that. He was like, man, bro, I want to make a clothing brand. I see this doing it, man. I think we can do it. So it was just an idea. He threw it to me. I was coming off of being in the club business, man. I had a rise and fall of a club, man. You got to do your homework on the whole history of my background, but we ain't gonna get into that. But coming off that, man, I was looking for something else to do. I was doing pictures and shit in the club. And I remember that I was doing pictures, going around, doing pictures, videos, music videos at that time.
And he gave me that idea and I. And I started a brand called Dope first and the only pure elevation. That's what me and him did together. And we did that for a couple years. And in 2017, man, just trapped came. I was around my boy at Superline. Superline. E. Shout out to Superline, the big Chinese dude that all y' all clothing buy from now.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: That's where I got the idea. Just trapped from him, you know what I'm saying? And then I. And. And then I branded it in my own way, and it just went crazy, man. Somebody respect. You feel me?
[00:04:06] Speaker A: So, like, I don't think people understand that part of, like, the grind, bro. Like, when you find something that you passionate about, it don't feel like work.
[00:04:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:14] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? So was that something you you know what I'm saying? You consider this as
[00:04:19] Speaker B: I. It. It don't feel like work, but it's like, because I'd rather do this than go clock in at anybody else job, right? Like, so this is way easier for me, but it's also tough too, man. People don't understand because a lot of this is not documented. A lot of the behind the scenes, a lot of the hard nights, people see the results. People see the end. People see what you do when you step outside, you look good. People see the hard nights, the long nights. People don't see when I was by myself, trying to figure it out.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: Yeah, that like me, bro, when I first came home from prison, bro, I told my folks I wanted to do tattoos.
I ain't gonna say they laugh at me, but they were just like, boy, you ain't got enough people wanting a tattoo from you. The way you can quit your job, mind you, nigga, I work at hardest, right? Make like 130, 150 a week, right?
[00:05:03] Speaker B: Hey, you ain't gonna have enough.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: Come on, you feel me? Like, cover that. But, bro, you just got to believe in you. You got to believe in your vision. Your vision ain't for everybody to see. Glasses don't fit everybody, you know what I'm saying? Like, so when you find you something that you can real life grind with. Yeah, because that's what it was for me, bro. Like, nigga, I started, like, just like, getting money that I thought I was getting with, you know what I'm saying? Trapping or being in the way because I was in the way. I want them niggas in the way. They just don't be realizing that, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, certain, bro. You get 50 balls, brother gonna be rich. Me, I'll probably break even, you know what I'm saying?
I just keep the plug off my ass, you know what I'm saying?
Just waiting for me, you know what I'm saying? Like, and bridge, just something I had to give, you feel me?
[00:05:44] Speaker B: Like, some people can't admit that, but, yeah, that. It. It take a grind. It take a grown man to admit, like, you know what I'm saying? This ain't for me. I need to do something else.
[00:05:53] Speaker C: You can just start off just, you know, doing clothes like you started off in a whole different path, and you ended up doing fashion. So, like.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: No, but see, I don't think people kind of understand the part of, like, not being afraid to fail, bro.
[00:06:06] Speaker B: That's.
[00:06:06] Speaker A: That's a big thing that's that what be thinking? Oh, bro, I want to do this, bro, but everybody ain't gonna support me, bro. Them people. Hey, look, as long as I can say I gave that 100, bro, that's what it killed me, bro. If I knew I had more to give and I ain't give it. You feel what I'm saying? But if I give everything, bro, I can make peace with that. It just wasn't for me.
[00:06:26] Speaker B: And the only way you really fail is when you quit, though. You really never fail as long as you keep on trying different things and trying different ways to. To get your results. You know what I'm saying? Like she said, I didn't start off making clothes. I quit my job in 2008, man. I was working at a gas station, man. You know what I'm saying? I said I'll never work another person job again. I didn't ran a club. I didn't did camera work, photography, videography. So I didn't sold CDs and DVDs, man. And so
[00:06:53] Speaker C: you always had some type of hustle even after you left your job.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: So yeah, I knew I was gonna
[00:06:56] Speaker A: say but that'd be. That'd be the definition of just like falling and getting back up, bro.

[00:19:55] Speaker A: You could tell somebody one of your ideas, and niggas like, I don't think you. You. I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think that's this.
But these same people who scared to take the risk.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:04] Speaker A: So it kind of like, you know, you just got to bet on yourself. Bro. And that's when I bet on myself. When I went and tapped my face, I was like, fuck it, I ain't going nowhere. I'm not going to nobody else. Job interviews and no, no tattoos on my face. So I ain't got no choice, right?
[00:20:18] Speaker C: That's how you looked at it. You ain't got no choice.
[00:20:20] Speaker A: I ain't got no choice. I ain't saying that, but, like, you know, you ain't gonna get the job. You, you.
[00:20:24] Speaker C: Plus, I just feel like a lot of people who don't know you're gonna support you more than the people who know you. Like, you just gotta put yourself out there because that's how I wasn't beginning. I'm like, dang, what if I started? Nobody really with me, but I just had to keep doing. Like, I still had a job when I started off doing my business, right? So, like, once I seen, like, I was making more money, you know, cooking versus what I was doing on that clock, I said, oh, yeah, I got to get off these people clock, because I'm not about to. Like, no, I'm not doing that. I could be putting all my money into that and just make my money there.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: Gotta learn from every risk. That's a fact.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: I think for me, it's similar to what you said, but I would say, man, don't listen to people.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: Don't listen.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: Don't listen to shit people say because it's going to be a person that you love that's going to talk you out of what you want to do.
[00:21:02] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:21:02] Speaker A: Oh, my God. That's a word, bro.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: It's going to be. It ain't going to be a stranger.
[00:21:05] Speaker A: And you were just looking to that person for some. For some love and support.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: Anyway, they going to tell you, don't do it.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: Yeah, it's too hard.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: They going to put their fears on you. They're going to put and see. That's why I think what helped me is South Carolina helped me because when I got taken away from everybody that I knew, I was here by myself. So it wasn't nobody I had to look to for approval. Nobody had to ask, oh, you think this is going to work? You think I could do this? You think I should take this risk so they can talk me out of. I was. I was on some isolated. And I feel like sometimes if you want to be successful, you got to isolate yourself from every distraction from everybody.
[00:21:38] Speaker A: And listen, that's a distraction on God, bro, That's the part of prison that I appreciate the most.
[00:21:45] Speaker C: Facts Just.
[00:21:46] Speaker A: Just having to, like, be isolated and kind of like now. Now at 33. I went to prison. I was 19. I'm 33, bro. I feel like I get better with isolation. I don't feel like I need nobody if I'm going through some. I kind of just want to be by myself because I need to. I need to process this, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't really need, like, everybody telling me gonna be all right, because it. Sometimes it don't be. Yeah, but you got to make peace with that side of the. The stick, too.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: No, for real.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? Like, you got to make peace with. You. You. You. You might not come out on top of this one.
[00:22:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:19] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? But, like, bro, that just. That's just the. The part of being a man that don't embrace.
[00:22:24] Speaker B: Gotta find a beauty in the struggle.
[00:22:26] Speaker A: Real talk, bro, if you ain't. You ain't going through. You ain't gonna appreciate.
If I. If I woke up with life goals in my hand, you. You gonna run through that.
[00:22:36] Speaker B: Run through it.
[00:22:37] Speaker A: You gonna it up.
[00:22:37] Speaker B: You learn your biggest lessons in the darkness, man, in the dark time. You know what I'm saying? When it's all good and real men, bro.
[00:22:44] Speaker A: Real men, Real men. That's when I don't know about a lot of. I kind of learned through, like. Like. Like triumph and, like, just going through. If I go through something, bro, I' ma learn something. If it easy for me, I ain't gonna learn.
[00:22:58] Speaker B: Oh, you ain't?
[00:22:59] Speaker A: I'm not. You know what I'm saying? And that's just me, you know what I'm saying? Like, I needed to go to prison. I needed to fall a couple times on the face. I needed to tell me, oh, Brian, you ain't gonna be better than so and so. Yeah, I didn't have. Bro, listen, I remember one time I first came home for jail, bro, I lost. We had a dice game. I done lost my last 200. My homeboy in that. He's so stupid.
Got a trash can right here. They ball up a paper bag. You betting 300 we out of high school. You ain't no basketball star no more, you know what I'm saying? Like, so you betting 300, you can make this in the trash can. You lost about a thousand, but you still going like. Cuz you need to chill. Tell me in front of everybody where your money at?
That did something to me, though. Could get. Well, I know I didn't allow that about seven times, right? You know what I'm saying? But, bro, that be more. A lot of get jealous, bro. Some get motivated. I just get motivated on my mama. You'll never talk to me like that again. You will never handle me like this again. No, no, I. Now I'm ready for whatever you lost. I give you that. To lose again. You just owe me something, you know what I'm saying? Like, for sure. Like, bro, I'm. Hell, no, boy. It take one time for a To go through something like that for me. You play me like a broke in front of all these broke ass. All these broke.
You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, I don't know. For a brother that set a different type of, like, fire underneath me, bro.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:28] Speaker A: Then realizing, like, everybody ain't your friend.
You know what I'm saying? Like, and that's why I'll be telling females, females, y' all be. Y' all be friends for real sometimes. Or y' all be.
A lot of times females link up because they pretty. You know what I'm saying? Like, as a.
[00:24:44] Speaker C: That's true.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: You kind of like, your friend group can kind of switch the older you get, you know what I'm saying? Like, especially, like, y' all ain't challenging me no more. Like, I ain't gonna get nothing out this. I'm probably the smartest in the room. I don't want to be around y'. All. I need to be challenged, bro. I need to be the who asking me, bro, what you doing? You. You know I. Roth, Ari, you know about. You know about business credit. You know about so and so, you know what I'm saying? Like, be hitting me. That's why I hang around my Uncle Titan so much. Yeah, boy, that get. Who y' all think we just get to turning up that get drunk, get to ask me all type of. And then some good info, too. And then I tell me, you ain't doing you a little ass, boy. You know what I'm saying? You relying on your cash. You better get on this credit for sure. You know what I'm saying?
[00:25:25] Speaker B: Like, yeah, it's funny you say that too, because a lot of people, like, man, why you close the store? Why are you going to land? I'm going to Atlanta for another challenge, bro. I go to Atlanta and pull up somewhere and hop out the car and put a rack outside, and they start regular again.
[00:25:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:25:40] Speaker B: Act like I ain't never did.
[00:25:43] Speaker C: I'm so glad you said that, because what made you start going. I see you going City to city, state to state with your clothing brand and you're doing well. Like, what made you start going to these like pop up shops and these, you know, big events.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: I love you, bro. You know, it's all love.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: I want to challenge myself to, to, to grow bigger than this town. I felt like, I feel like this town right here is like a lake and I feel like a shark in a lake. Yeah, I need to be a shark in the ocean, right?
[00:26:08] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:26:08] Speaker B: I need the Atlantic Ocean. I need the Pacific Ocean. I need other sharks. Yeah, it's other sharks here too. But it's a small. We all shark, we bumping heads and all the sharks.
[00:26:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:19] Speaker B: With all the fish. And I'm trying to get where the sharks at too. Well, a lot of sharks. There were some sharks that's bigger than
[00:26:25] Speaker A: me, some sharks with some room, nothing.
[00:26:28] Speaker B: If I'm the biggest on the biggest bread right here, how the. I'm gonna learn how to.
[00:26:31] Speaker A: But you know, like, sharks only grow
[00:26:33] Speaker B: in the bigger place.
[00:26:34] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:26:35] Speaker B: If you put it, if you put a shark in a, in a fish
[00:26:37] Speaker A: tank, that gonna go two feet, he
[00:26:39] Speaker B: gonna grow to that size of that tank, as big as he can get in that tank. But if you drop the same shark in the, in the lake, you're gonna get a little bigger drop. So you're gonna get a little bigger. I'm saying. So you gotta just go to a bigger environment.
[00:26:48] Speaker A: My thing be, bro, just can't be scared to fail, bro. That's just like the main thing. Like, bro, if you sit here worrying about like, what the fuck somebody gonna say to like appease you. You got to understand, bro, everybody ain't meant to be put here to appease you. I just literally told y' all the formula. Just not that I don't really give nobody a lot of get motivated. Some get jealous. I just get motivated.
[00:27:11] Speaker C: Not only that, but everybody's not meant to be an entrepreneur. You got to have some workers. Everybody can't be the head of everything. It has to be some worker bees, you know, out here handling things. Like, that's just what it is. Like, everybody cannot run their own business.
[00:27:22] Speaker A: Too many, Too many chiefs not run their own business.
[00:27:25] Speaker B: Who going do the work? All of us bosses who going to be the ones doing the work
[00:27:31] Speaker A: think they going to start a business, bro, and just be successful.
[00:27:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it don't work.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: You going to work for a year breaking even into real life, get into that life.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: That's the co era, man, that co people up when it came to what people expectations Was.
[00:27:51] Speaker A: That's a fact.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: What people thought should happen fast because so much was given so quick, and people just did everything and thought it was gonna last forever. But you see now you see who lasts. You know what I'm saying?
[00:28:02] Speaker A: You see, I always try to just say. Try to just say, always choose discomfort and fear. You got to understand, like, everybody ain't raised like that.
Everybody don't know that they can, like, go to the bottom and come back again. Nigga, I don't need, bro, my mom, you can get me down to zero. Negative 2000. It. We can go negative 2000. I ain't got.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: I didn't been there.
[00:28:22] Speaker A: Let me sit. Like, how y' all be sitting at your mama house? Like, oh, God, let me sit at my mama for six months. I'm be back on you ass. I swear to God, bro, I'm just, like, not satisfied, bro. I'm never satisfied. I got everything that I prayed for right now.
I'm still not satisfied. Now I'm praying for more. God, God, I appreciate it. Thank you. But you know what you put me here for? You put me here to be ambitious. You put me here to take care of the family. So let's get some more.
You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, I'm never that. I'm never the who want money to.
You know what I'm saying? Like, ho, ho, ho. What going on?
[00:28:59] Speaker C: Oh, there you go. Okay, so I got a question for you, Mitch. So with all the places that you've been with your brand, which city would you say is the best place that supports you the most that you think?
[00:29:08] Speaker B: Atlanta.
[00:29:09] Speaker C: Atlanta.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: I love Atlanta.
[00:29:11] Speaker B: I love it.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: That's the black Mecca, bro.
[00:29:13] Speaker C: I love Atlanta, too.
[00:29:16] Speaker B: I like Atlanta. Got a scene for everything. Well, if you were a car, they got the car people. If you a clothing, they got the clothing people. If you were the scammer, they got the scamming crew. You like, whatever you do is a group. And the people in Atlanta that do it, too, that you can get with and everybody be on the same.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: But that's crazy about, like, a bigger city, bro. Like, bro, them don't be out that hating on each other.
[00:29:37] Speaker C: Nobody's in competition in Chicago.
[00:29:40] Speaker B: They do.
[00:29:40] Speaker A: Do Chicago different, bro.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: Chicago is not like, Chicago a kill you for doing better than him. Chicago to kill you for doing better than him.
[00:29:49] Speaker C: So when you go to Chicago, like,
[00:29:51] Speaker B: when I go to Chicago with my clothes, I don't go to my old neighborhoods. I go to. I. I meet with my brother and certain people that I Know that's going to have my best interest. But I don't go do neighborhood. I don't go. I don't put myself in a position because it's easy to die. But you can. You, if you smart, you can learn how to stay alive too. It's easy to die. You know what I'm saying? It's easy to get killed out about this. But you can be smart enough to not put yourself in certain situations.
Your chance of dying people put yourself in situations. And you gotta know how to be a diffuser too. You gotta know how to diffuse. As I grew up, I started learning how to not be as hot and learn how to be cool. Yeah, how to diffuse. Because that's how you stay alive and that's how you survive.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: But listen, bro, I don't think understand that part of the game, bro. And see, but see, ain't never had nobody like, be in the game either.
You trying to like, figure this out on your own. This is not something you can figure out on your own, bro. This game called life, bro. Bro, you need people. I ain't gonna say need people for like you can depend on, but just for like mental support. Cause you could fall off your balance.
Realize you took a left when everybody took a right. And if somebody who took a left with you, bro, and just be like, all right, bet, bro, you took that left. So understand your. Your path gonna be a little harder. It ain't gonna be as easy as these. These got plugs.
The plug died. These ain't got no motion no more. You know what I'm saying? Like. Cause get. You know it ain't them. Yeah, bro, A lot of come up, bro. If you come up, bro, off the muscle, just you, you putting this together. Appreciate what you got.
Real talk, bro. A lot of these be depending on. I ain't got no people who depend on why I can't call my mama, tell my mama shorter. No rent.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: I can't come.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah, what's she gonna do? Okay, baby, like, you know what I'm saying? You got it. I raise you. You, you, you get this together.
[00:31:39] Speaker C: So with your clothing brand, do you have a team or you just solely doing this by yourself?
[00:31:43] Speaker B: I never had a team. That's the one thing I'm lacking. That's what's standing between me and 100 million, right?
[00:31:49] Speaker C: A team. Yeah.
[00:31:50] Speaker A: I'm trying to be on your team, though.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: You talking about team? Because I can't do it by myself. I didn't stretched out my arms and legs as long as I can Stretch them out.
[00:31:57] Speaker C: Listen, you know what I'm saying? You need a team to really take you to that next level. Like, you know, you doing your shit now. So imagine if you had three, four people who's helping you really get that shit out, you know what I'm saying? Like, even with me with food, like, if I had a team that could help me prep more food and help me get plates out faster, like, I really would be doing my shit. Like, I'd just be thinking about that too. Like, damn.
[00:32:17] Speaker A: But you got to understand, you got to start, you got to start somewhere because some people just don't require a team.
[00:32:21] Speaker C: Yeah, but see, he said it's hard to find a team because what?
[00:32:23] Speaker B: It's hard for me to find a team because nobody, like everybody won't. Like I can find right now if I want to pay a budget to everybody, if I want to pay you to be the cameraman, if I want to pay you to be this, if I want to pay you to be that, if I. But if somebody like a team of people, like for example, a clothing brand like Tool and S. I don't know if you heard of them, but these guys.
[00:32:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I with them, I with now I with them.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Those guys seen a vision together and built on a vision, you know, say it's hard to do that. So it's like when you build some to a.
A six figure brand by yourself, then it's like, damn, how do you include other people in there?
[00:32:58] Speaker C: Yeah, because they ain't gonna see it how you see it.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's all.
[00:33:03] Speaker C: Yeah, especially when it comes to like if I have help, like even when it comes to plating. No, you gonna plate my how I play my. Because this is my brand and I need people to understand. Like yaya made this plate.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: I got a homeboy. I got a homeboy that do that cooking. I was like, you better go look at what yaya be doing.
Present a plate to you, make you want to buy that bitch. I don't give a how.
[00:33:24] Speaker C: Cuz I feel like you eat with your eyes first.
[00:33:26] Speaker A: I worry about how it tastes later on. But for like what going on right now, Sprinking the parsley flakes on that, you know that give you a little, that little greenery. Stop playing. You know what I'm saying?
[00:33:37] Speaker C: That little greenery.
[00:33:38] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, man.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: So like bro, you know, like that entrepreneurship, bro, it ain't for everybody, bro. It's hard, but it can be for you. You just can't be a weak minded a lot of them be wanting a solution, bro. The entrepreneurship don't come with solutions.
You have to be the solution.
You know what I'm saying?
[00:33:56] Speaker B: Like, so solution you got to be solution.
[00:33:58] Speaker A: You know how many times a that sat on his ass, bro? Don't even really know.
I don't know. I don't know how this gonna go. It Monday. It Monday. I got to pay bills by Friday.
I don't know how this finna go, but the finna grind. And I ain't gonna ask nobody for it. I'll drop a special, and then boom, Friday and you try to come it. We. We good now. We got 30 more days.
Don't look at it like that. We got 30 more days. You better create some cushion, bro. Create that cushion where you got 2:30 days in between you, bro. You'll be all right. If you could survive for 60 days, bro, and not make a dollar. Oh, yeah, you smooth. You feel me? Like, because especially if you're a hustler, come for one, you didn't got so much money already, bro. You ain't gonna feel comfortable sitting on your ass for two weeks, and then as a hustle, even enjoy a vacation.
[00:34:41] Speaker C: People need to understand, like, you ain't gonna make the same money every week either. As an entrepreneur, people be thinking you got a set pay. Like, no, this ain't no job where you. I got a salary.
[00:34:49] Speaker B: I can't say how much 40 hours gonna pay.
[00:34:51] Speaker C: Yeah, 40 hours might pay me half of what you made during the week.
[00:34:55] Speaker B: I might pay me 10,000 or 600.
[00:34:58] Speaker A: I might get a good.
I might get a good 10 and then May. What you make in two weeks, so it ain't the same. You know what I'm saying? But niggas ain't willing to take that risk. Cause, nigga, just because I done made this in two weeks, nigga, I could have two more weeks when I ain't making shit.
[00:35:12] Speaker C: Well, I made shit.
[00:35:13] Speaker A: I ain't make nothing, but I done sat my ass down and prepared for the first two.
[00:35:17] Speaker B: I just had a week.
I just had a month like that. The west month is this. This is what? April.

I had to turn my other businesses on.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: I gotta turn up I around the maze. I made a lot of money last year from between, like, let's just say, like, February to September as a tattoo artist made that. Made buku cheese from October to tax time I ain't made right because everybody's
[00:35:53] Speaker C: saving for the holidays.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: Yeah.

[00:36:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:01] Speaker A: But guess who got to sit down and budget.
[00:36:04] Speaker C: That's not bad though.

[00:36:23] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure.
[00:36:24] Speaker A: You think that you think you fit to have a good bike week Rain here.
You know what I'm saying?
[00:36:29] Speaker B: People want a tattoo, they don't need it. People want it.
[00:36:31] Speaker A: That's not something that you need.
[00:36:33] Speaker B: You can, you can get a shirt from Walmart. You don't have to get a 50t shirt from just trying. You can get a Walmart shirt if you just need a shirt. So depending on how people paper is, that's how you gonna eat.
[00:36:42] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:45] Speaker A: Don't realize that part about that entrepreneurship, you taking that risk.
[00:36:49] Speaker B: And Brandon is making people want to spend their last on your.
That's what branding is. That's the difference between being a business and a brand.
[00:36:59] Speaker C: And it's just like, okay, piggybacking off of that with your party. When you threw that first just trap party, what made you say all right, it I'm throwing a just trap party and I, I know this gon go off. I know this gonna be lit. You really didn't know for your first party.

[00:37:36] Speaker B: Then I went to the crib and I started thinking about like maybe I should throw a party.
[00:37:39] Speaker A: Cuz I don't think you realize how much you impact the decision.

[00:38:17] Speaker B: When I started putting it out there and it started getting hype. And I remember that first Just Trap. I got a hundred tickets, advanced tickets, and when. No. And they kind of sold at first. I had got the tickets, like, a month in advance, and they wasn't really doing too much. But, like, two weeks to the party, they start going. But then, like, the week of the party, this went stupid.
[00:38:36] Speaker C: Stupid.
[00:38:36] Speaker B: Two days before, because I remember you
[00:38:38] Speaker C: had to get a physical ticket back then. You gotta hand the ticket to the person.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: Yeah, bro. They was coming.

[00:42:51] Speaker A: I think that's one of the city's like best promoters.
[00:42:54] Speaker C: Yeah, Rico used to go crazy. I mean because everybody, every party he really would be there.
[00:42:58] Speaker A: And actually he was genuine, bro. Like, you know, if you. If it's a Rico house party for one is you not only gonna see Rico, you gonna see the who he be with.

[00:43:36] Speaker C: And I can't wait to see everybody in the new and the new. The new just trap. Oh my God.
[00:43:41] Speaker B: I would say this. I think this year is probably gonna be less. It's gonna be more people without just trap on than with it. Because 1A I'm not gonna be the customer. I don't have a location influence where I can just keep on. I can't just. You can't. I can't. I'm not just sitting one place where you can just bring it all to me and I'm just going to sit there and work on it.
Then the way I drop stuff now, I only got certain pieces right now. So it's not going to be like how it was with everybody getting every. I'm still going to print on a nice amount as much as I can do for people. But I know it's going to be not as much as it used to be. But I'M fine with that. Because this. Times change, man. We on a different. We're on a different wave. Everybody that they don't have to wear the brand to still come.
[00:44:23] Speaker C: That's true too. And nobody better not come with no. Just trap shit on from somewhere else
