He was a beast at basketball, I went to elementary school, middle school and high school with him. The day he dropped out of high school he said, “I’m gonna go be a rapper.” Now look at him. Representing SA!

@@KaeEssKlassik San Antonio is the 7th biggest city in the US … but being from San Antonio just like any other rapper he’s frontin on everything. Parents had a lot of money, I knew kids that had robbed him , he ain’t never sell juice like that & damn sure ain’t selling his own orange juice or we’d all be on that . He tryna be Larry June or sum . Dudes like 5 feet tall btw

Doing merch for the first time. 44:37 - Did a project deal with Empire and now independent with his own label 45:15 - Anyone can be a Hoodlum fan. Latino kids see themselves in him. People recognizing that coming on No Jumper is a big deal 46:02 - Coming out of San Antonio is harder than other places. Didn’t want to leave, felt like he could make it from home. 46:48 - Came up with his evil whisper voice by being high. Influenced by Lil Wayne. 47:36 - Feels like beat selection is what makes him stand out. Feels like he could make beats but he's not good with computers. Can make samples though. 48:25 - Ace the Shooter makes an appearance. Watching Hoodlum blow up. Planning it all out before it happened 49:35 - Met when they were 13 yrs old, Ace was rapping first. Became a cameraman because he wasn’t all the way passionate, saw other cameramen in the city and felt like he could do it. 50:34 - Both still feel they’re still only getting started. 51:11 - Hoodlum has a girlfriend and a 6-month-old daughter. 52:07 - Adam knows Hoodlum's security JB from back in the day in San Antonio, Hoodlum and JB grew up together.
