Like I'm saying, and I kind of sort of don't necessarily feel like you gave me just the answer in a sense of the area.

Because, of course, you're saying you definitely let us know from the beginning your mom and dad was there.

You got three older siblings.

It was music playing in the crib.

So it was, yeah, I was doing that.

You know what I'm saying? But your younger brothers and sisters put you on whatever they were saying you couldn't listen to, ignoring that all of the damn music they was listening to is what was helping you through your puberty because the song was playing while you was rubbing.

Anyway.

And they ignore that.

But in Strong Island, what type of music was really, really kicking, possibly? Was it a certain sound when you actually saw yourself jumping into it to where it was like, I got to make sure this is on it? Or you kicked through the door like, nah, this is Tev Doll.

I'm from Strong Island, but this is what I'm doing.

Um, honestly, what I can't really say the music in Long Island that influenced me really is more of like, it's more of like, new york city like specifically specifically biggie biggie has always been my favorite rapper

But we walking past Tevdala's Mount Rushmore.

So who would be the four artists you put up there that are alive, that really influenced you or really impacted your career to be who you are? And you already gave us Biggie, so keep on going.

Why Biggie?

Yeah.
