Yes, that was his first band. I don't know if this FBI is his new band. That's kind of crazy. And he has another project, Weapons of Mass Destruction. You know more about my dad's shit than I do. This is crazy.

That was his first drummer name. That's wild as fuck. That's cool. He's into music and he's working on projects too. You're working on projects and so is your dad. It's crazy. My dad had a studio in Den and I had a studio in my bedroom. And we used to get into little fights and shit because he used to work on his music and I used to work on mine and shit. And it was pretty fresh now because it's like, man, there'd be times when my dad would knock down my door because we were playing music too loud and I was making beats too loud. It's fucking crazy you know that. It's fucking wow. That's crazy. I gotta tell him to change his group from FBI. It's kind of like scary.

And he was also into music as well too, wasn't he? Yeah, he was a jazz player. He played the piano and shit and he's like very talented and, you know, he was like my biggest inspiration in music, man. Like, he was like the one that taught my dad. He taught the flute player from the Quiet Storm shit. He was like the original Webster. He's the original La Flame. Rest in peace, man.

They're like, like my next door neighbor and shit, basically. So every Christmas he comes to fucking Houston and I walked and gave him the CD. But he never did nothing with it. He just wanted to give me like some merch and shit. Kind of like pissed me off. But yeah, that's my brother and sister, the twins, Jordan and Josh. Oh, gee, Travis Scott. And the all air hearty flex. Travis, you're also into Jean-Michel Basquiat, aren't you? Yeah, that's kind of like the old, this one, that's like the old Travis, man. I was into like the Basquiat, Keith Haring, yeah, like super early.

But now it's like way more iller shit, like Jim Joe and like even my homie Dozie, that nigga's ill, you know?

Something maybe you can sample as well. It's fucking crazy. Rare facts. So you'd be learning this shit on this shit as well. Steve Boys and Cypress Hill sampled it too. Okay, dope, dope. I noticed
