The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Um, so yeah, after that, I just realized that that's not what I wanted for my life. And I started, you know, I got a job and I started working. Uh, where'd you work? Oh man, I had, I was working at like a call center, uh, I hated that job.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I don't necessarily have whatever the right answer would be, but to me what being a Christian means is to... I don't know. I guess it's kind of hard. There's a couple different ways you can answer that. You can say, like, it's not necessarily about religion. It's about your own personal relationship with God. You know, there's an answer.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
You can also say it's about believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins and accepting them. So, yeah, I don't really know one way to answer that.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
At the beginning of last year, my relationship with God was really strong. I truly had balance in my life. I would wake up every day and I'd work on music. And then after that, I'd...
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Play the game... Uh... With my friends... And then after that... Me and my friends would do Bible study... I was like... The leader of like a Bible study group... Um... That I had created with my friends... Um... Jesse was in there as well... Oh sick... And uh... Yeah we'd read the Bible... Every night... And then... It was crazy cause I was working on music heavy... And there was... No... Type of sign that I was gonna blow up... At all... I was getting like 40 views max on my music...
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
But when I quit my job when I was 18, I fully delved my life into music. That was my whole life. Yeah. Nothing but that. Sure. So I didn't have balance in my life and I needed balance. And when I realized that, that's when I started getting closer to God and started reading the Bible. Now, the story that I read in the Bible was right before I blew up was... It was Paul's journey.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I can't remember the exact scripture number, but it was his whole crazy journey that he went on. You know, he was thrown in jail and, you know, at first he was like a person that didn't believe in God. Am I getting it right? It's Paul, right?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So I worked for like a pharmaceutical company. Okay. And I needed, like old people will call me to refill their prescriptions. Gotcha, gotcha. Now, you can do it on the website. So if they're calling me, it's because they have a problem. Gotcha. So, yeah, oftentimes I'll have to break, you know, break the news to elderly people that they couldn't afford their medication.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And then he had that encounter with Jesus and then, you know, he died. Went to the other side.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Yeah, and he, just me and Jesse was reading about the crazy journey he went on. And while we were reading it, I was like, hey, man, you know, when I blow up and these record labels fly me out, you got to come with me. It's going to be a Paul-esque journey. And he was like, yeah, I'm right there with you. Now, I'm saying this as a joke. You know what I'm saying?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Like I said, 40 views max on my songs. We get done reading the story. Two weeks later, my music blows up.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Yeah, I had a couple different snippets of songs that were going viral, and I dropped an album, and that went viral as well.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So yeah, there's record labels calling me, trying to fly me out, and all that stuff, and then I ended up signing a deal and moving out here, and then...
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
asked Jesse I was like and this was like I asked him in the beginning of the year I'm like hey man like I think like at the same time that I asked him about you know flying out with me to the labels I said hey man will you quit your job and move out there with me And he was like, yeah, I will. And I'm like, all right. And so when it actually was time, I'm like, bro, I need you here with me.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And he quit his job and he moved out here with me.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
If I'm honest, unfortunately, it's not as strong as it was before. I tried to continue doing the Bible study, but... I don't really do the Bible study anymore. And yeah, I don't really have the balance in my life that I did before. And unfortunately, that's what we all fall into sometimes when we want something from God. You know, on the journey to get it, we're all with him.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
We're reading our Bible every day. We're praying. And then when we get that thing, we sometimes forget about it.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I'm feeling good, man. I'm feeling great.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
A good portion. Some of it is just, what's the word I'm looking for?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So that was like really stressful, weighing down on me. For sure. For sure. So, yeah. And then I quit that job and started focusing on music full time. OK. I was 18 when that happened.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Just something that sounds good. Yeah. But a good portion of it, I'd say about 80% of it is, uh, you know, real stuff. And then there's other songs where I'm just saying goofy stuff.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Um, well, it started off as just, you know, fun, you know, just started off as fun. Um, but then when I moved out here, you know, I was, I was around it a lot more than I was when I was back home.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So yeah, I guess it is kind of like a escape.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So my dad passed away when I was about eight years old. And just that whole thing was a really traumatic experience because at the time I was living in a shelter and it was around Christmas time when he died. So, you know, I know Christmas isn't about presents as an adult. You know, when you're a little kid, you know, you're eight years old. It's like.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I never said I was going to stop that. I said that I was going to, you know, focus on my health journey and bettering my health. And I actually, you know, I would always carry around this track suit. And at one of my shows, I just took off the jacket and threw it in the crowd. And that was really just a symbolism of me.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
you know, shedding, I guess some of the old things that were holding me back and, you know, stay focusing on like my health journey. Yeah. Um, as you can see, I have the purple suit again. Uh, the reason why I have the purple suit again is because, um, I just felt like some sort of separation anxiety from the suit. I would wear this every day, everywhere I go. And I just kind of got used to it.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And then because I didn't have it, I was... You know, there was, it was about last week where, you know, not even last week, just the beginning of 2025, I was just having a lot of back and forths with people. And it was going viral and it was in the media. And I was lashing out a lot because of the situation that I was going through with the, you know, the heartbreak.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
it wasn't really more sadness it was more anger yeah that somebody would do that do that and embarrass me publicly yeah like that and then also because of the suit yeah you know i was i was angry because i didn't i didn't have my suit i love my suit man i love the suit too it fits you man like it's like you yeah i feel like i feel like i wouldn't know you unless you had the purple suit
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Yeah, so when I had the boys in the lab cook me up another suit, because this is one of one. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like I sold these, but they sold out. Wow. So there's no more left. The distributor is in China. They got a whole thing going on. So I was like, can we please get me another one? I don't feel right without it. Yeah. And the boys cooked me up another suit.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Ever since I've put it back on. I haven't been lashing out on people, you know, because it was, I guess you can say lashing out, but there was a lot of people who were saying things about me.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Now, in my responses, I didn't have to go as far as I did. You know what I'm saying? So I didn't, it was just, you know, it just means something I struggle with is when somebody says something to me, I got to say something back.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
no Christmas presents and my dad died dang what's going on here dang you know and so and just the funeral was really like traumatizing to me you know it was like my first realization of what death really was you know yeah and yeah
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Um, well, no, I don't believe it has superpowers, you know, it just, it makes me, uh, makes me feel good. Yeah. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel like, uh, you know, it just makes me feel like me, you know, it's, it's my thing. This is something that I created. Yeah. And, uh,
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
You know, I didn't like hand stitch it, but I made the design for it. Right, right, right.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Well, do I think that I am lean? No. I don't think that I'm lean.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
No. I'm definitely myself without the lean and without the suit. But, you know, I just like it.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
the suit yeah it's nice it's comfortable and uh yeah i really feel like that was part of the reason why i was lashing out is because not only that here's here's the here's the reason why i feel like i was lashing out a lot of people was telling me that they was they they wanted me to take the suit off that they wanted me to change what i was wearing come on man you've been wearing this for months take it off
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So that was me kind of like listening to what other people said and not being myself.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
You know, the reason, the whole reason why I have enough money to buy other clothes. The reason why I don't is because when I moved out here, I didn't, I didn't have enough money to buy other clothes and, uh, or I did, but when I first came out here to visit, uh, I didn't have enough money to buy other clothes because I was just I got flown out from a label. Yeah.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Before I signed, I didn't have any money. So I thought I was only going to stay here for two days. I packed the tracksuit, which at the time it was wasn't the purple one. It was black and gray.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And I packed my tracksuit and I packed one other outfit. I got sick while I was out here and I threw up all over the other outfit.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
oh dang and i was staying in the hotel didn't have anywhere to wash it so i just had the track suit and i ended up staying out here for like a week yeah and then so yeah i just wore the track suit for that week and then that week i shot a couple music videos and when those music videos came out they're like oh he's wearing the track suit in every video so that kind of just led on it was like a staple yeah yeah and so then when i moved out here
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I didn't want to carry all my clothes and stuff on the plane. So once again, I came out here with one tracksuit and one other outfit. Yeah. And yeah, it took... I was just going to have my mom ship my other clothes to me. But I was like, you know what? I'm going to keep wearing this because...
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
a lot of times when i was in school i would have to i would have like three outfits and i'd wear the same thing like every week yeah i would get made fun of for that yeah you know and this time you know it's the same thing again i only have one outfit but I'm still going up in music. You know, my career is still going up. And I have people that look up to me.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So I want to show them it doesn't matter what clothes you have on. It doesn't matter what you look like. You know, you can be overweight. You can be skinny. You can wear the same clothes every day. You can wear the same track suit with Walmart house shoes. And you can still be successful.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So that's why I wear the suit. Gotcha. And people were trying to tell me, oh, bro, you got to change it up now. That was me listening. to what people wanted me to do instead of what I wanted to do. That's why I was lashing out. Cause I'm like, bro, I'm not even myself.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Yeah. And I'm a very self-aware person. I know that I don't need lean. I mean, if I really want to escape, open up my Bible. That's how you escape. you know, and you give everything to Jesus Christ and, you know, he takes all of the anxiety and all the depression, he takes it all away.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
However, like I said, I just, moving out here and just everything, just my relationship with God has not been where it should be, so. Yeah. And, you know, this is a very fast-paced lifestyle, so. Yeah, LA moves so fast out here, man. Especially if you're an artist, you're around a bunch of A bunch of drugs, a bunch of things. So... Yeah. When you're, you know... And rappers are nocturnal.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
You know, we're up at all night and we sleep during the day. Yeah. So when you're at these studio sessions at 2 and 3 in the morning and, you know, you're around other rappers and they want to offer you things and drugs, you know, you...
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
you you partake in them and then when you partake in them you develop a habit yeah and i was already not as close as god as i was before and when you're not close with god that's when the devil will attack you know what i'm saying because he knows that you're you don't have that armor up you don't have the armor of god around you anymore so yeah
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I think I will. You know, I don't do it as much as I used to. You know, so I'm trying to wean myself off of it. Yeah. Yeah, I think I will sooner rather than later. Yeah. But there is something that you said. You said you were lovesick. I'd say that's probably something that I'm going through right now as well. In what way?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I don't really want things the things that I want aren't materialistic you know I don't really care about classic rapper things like chain or a car anything like that so the things that I want are things that you can't really buy you know love and like stability and stuff like that so yeah which is which is why like Uh, I've just been like, like in 2024, I was probably in three relationships.

Right. Back to back to back. And now I'm just kind of like this, the state that I'm in now, I'm just, you know, I'm a rapper, so it's being thrown at me in several different directions, speeds, all that. If I'm honest, and I'm being honest, now I'm still looking for love, but now it's more casual. It's more casual. I'm just picking through things that are coming to me.

The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
You know, I'm doing pretty good right now. You know, I'm doing pretty good. You know, I'm on, like, a health journey to, like, lose weight and just live a healthier lifestyle right now. But, yeah, the Juicero Day thing, that was pretty crazy. I had an oxygen tank and everything. That was pretty crazy. I actually drove from L.A. to Chicago. It was 30 hours. Whoa. That was insane.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I had the oxygen tank with me the whole time and everything.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
you know there's still people that think that was like a publicity stunt it wasn't i was in the hospital right before i went to juice world day and i found out about the juice world day thing uh before i went to the hospital i went to the doctor you know just to make sure everything was okay like ah you probably need to go to the hospital so i was in there and then it came time for me to go to start driving for the juice world day and i'm like
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I can't be in here. There's no way I'm going to miss out on this opportunity. And they're like, well, you're on oxygen. And I'm like, is there any way that I can go? And they was like, well, if you take the oxygen with you, you can go. I'm like, all right, let's do it.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
No, it wasn't a routine thing. It became my routine, but it's not like a routine thing. Yeah, I've been in the hospital a lot, so... When I'm in there, I usually just bring my studio equipment with me and I'll be recording in there and I'll be chilling.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I say in a day I can probably record six songs.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Yeah, yeah. All I need is my laptop, my little interface, and my microphone.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Just to get closer to God because he'll handle all that.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And I know that. Like I know that I don't need it.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Well, the thing is, I've always been open with my feelings, so people would know. You know what I'm saying? And I guess it was just the answers that people were giving me to... You know, I'm telling them that I'm hurting, and just the answers that they're giving me is not really helping me.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Because I didn't really understand my feelings at the time. And I'd say I was really severely depressed all the way up until... I was probably, I want to say like 19 and I kind of got out of that depression. Um, after I stopped, like after I stopped smoking weed is when I got out of that depression and that's when I got really closer with God, you know?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Yeah. And actually, I've always had a relationship with God, growing up in the church and all of that. But I got really close with God when I had nobody. So I would just talk to him, just have conversations with God. Really just pray all the time. My full name is Davion Blessing. I'm the only person in my family with that last name. Everybody else has a different last name.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, but I was raised in Iowa.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I don't know the story exactly, but I know that during my birth there were some complications. I almost didn't make it, so that's why my mom named me that.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
What did that look like? I grew up in the church, and it's unfortunate for me, just to be honest. Every church that I've went to, unfortunately, there's been nefarious things going on in the congregation. But I've never let that stop me from believing in God. You know what I'm saying? Because I realize, let's say that... Let's say that you're giving money to the church.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Um, uh, I mean, there's not really a whole lot going on out there, you know, but I, I was, I grew up, you know, very impoverished, you know? Yeah. Uh, yeah.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And the pastor is spending it on things that shouldn't be spending it on.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
He's not cashing in my blessings that I'm going to get from this. You know what I'm saying? No, I get it. I understand what you're saying. So it's like, you know, you still go to church and you still give because that's what you're supposed to do. You know what I'm saying? No matter if the pastor is, you know, doing nefarious things with the money. Sure.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
So, yeah, every church that I've been to, there's always been... Like I said, nefarious things going on in the congregation, which has been unfortunate. And but I still that never stopped me from believing in God and, you know, truly knowing that he's real and knowing that Jesus Christ died for my sins.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Well, actually, I didn't graduate. I dropped out of my senior year.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Well, it wasn't necessarily cheating, but yeah. So I performed on stage at Juice WRLD Day, and she was on stage with me. We went viral and stuff. And then we were just... She was just, you know, telling people that she didn't like in screenshots that she only used me to go on stage. And at the time, you know, the screenshots was going viral. And I was asking her, like, what's going on with this?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I went to every year except my senior because I didn't have enough credits to graduate.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And she was just like, it's fake. It's not real. I didn't do that.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
and i'm like i had to just i was asking people like how easy is it to fake screenshots yeah and like it is easy it is easy and then the screenshots didn't necessarily look real because they like blocked her name out of it but you could still see her picture so i believed her and then turns out that was true and then yeah i just found out she was doing other things as well so yeah yeah i had to end that and how'd that affect your heart man i mean
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
And so after I dropped out of high school, I just started hanging around the wrong people, doing the wrong things out of, I guess I was looking for guidance. You know, I didn't really grow up with a dad or even a father figure. So I looked up to, you know, some of my older friends in guidance and fortunately they were leading me down the wrong path.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
I was hurt. I mean, I was hurt. You know, I was somebody who I thought really cared about me because, you know, constantly told me that they did and I thought showed me that they did. But, yeah, that was unfortunate. It hurt. Yeah. But especially her, because it was like the second time something like that has happened.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Back to back. Like literally, I met her like a month, like not even a month, like literally a day after this other situation that I was in.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
For sure. Yeah. I feel like that's something that, you know, as I'm now a celebrity that I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life, unfortunately. But...
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
um well not necessarily i'm gonna have to deal with because you know if you give it all to god and then you don't have to worry about anything that's why he wants us to come to him for anything small or big yeah uh because you know we won't have to he'll handle it for us yeah sure so sure that's just what i gotta work on is going to him
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
Um, well, like you said, uh, you know, trust, I guess. Yeah. I got severe trust issues, you know? Yeah. So that's something right there.
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
But they're on the boat with Jesus, you know what I'm saying?
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
The Dave Blunts Interview (EP 80)
