You don't see anyone young cooking the meals I'm cooking. Like traditional Mexican food passed down from generations. Where they're literally promoting people to not cook anymore. It's like damn near soon enough they're gonna lock up the vegetables. But every single day when I get home, I have a home cooked meal with my family and it just smacks reality back into me.

And then if I want to, I'll do a YouTube video about the whole process of the thing. Not the food part. Oh, my God. Just the vibe. And say, oh, my God. By the time I finish my food and by the time I eat... I'm done with work.

They're all working for themselves. It's like I tell some of my family members who sell like alfrescas and like food on the street. I'm like, if you were to just record, you would have to make it one time and you're going to get like $1,000 from that one time. You're the customer. Just drink it. Like every time I make agua fresca, I get like one to five million views on each platform.

So that generates enough revenue for at least a work day. You know, if you're out at the flea market selling awas and you don't have to be in the sun and then you can spend the rest of your day there with your kids or making more money if that's needed, you know?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
All right. The hardest part about that is literally... Just, I guess, knowing how to film it, the right angles or like editing it, you know, like most people know how to film. You just hit record. But like, it's the editing part where you're like trimming every little clip and you start realizing, is it really going to be worth it? But like, it's worth it to me.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Can you tell me some of the favorite things you like to cook? So for me, bro, honestly, I don't think you would like any of the stuff that I cook. That's nonsense. You like seafood?

That's the best part is like, people don't get it. Like at least say your city from home right now, right? And you're thinking, I got to wake up. I got to go to work tomorrow. This, that. But I'm going to watch Chef Sui's podcast because I love his food. I love his recipes. Or you're just Mexican supporting me or whatever. Or you're just a fan from the music or the clothing brand or whatever.

Bro, I literally started doing the cooking stuff. Like a year and a half, maybe two years ago, time went by so fast since then. But in the first month of posting these videos, I had an email from Gordon Ramsay asking me to be on Top Level Chef. And the only reason I turned it down was because I wasn't trying to go over there to Ireland and leave my pops.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Unbelievable. No, the ice bath is different though. The ice bath is different. I've been around a couple of athletes that try to get me in there and I'm like, like I've been in a hot Cheeto bath before. A hot Cheeto bath? Yeah, like full. Of Cheetos? Yeah, full pool of Cheetos, yeah. Why would you do that? It was for this music video for one of my songs called Brown Justin Bieber.

My pops is literally first month of training. By the way, my pops doesn't go to chef school or nothing like that. My pops doesn't have a restaurant. My pops is, he was a construction worker, you know, like he's just really Mexican. We're from Michoacan, like the center of food over there in Mexico. And like, just food has always been the most important thing, right?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
So back to what I was saying to you guys. We did this training for a month. I said, Dad, every time you cook, let me stand next to you. Let me record and teach me how to do this shit. I'm going to be sitting around talking to you while you cook. Anyways, I'm not just going to be in my room. Dinner's ready. I'm sitting right here like...

Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
pulling stuff out, trying it, I'm like, ooh, what, you're putting that, oh, okay, I thought you used olive oil, oh, okay, ooh, all right, that's what I like, right, started recording it, posting them, and like, it was a joke, like, is Chef Sui, like, you know, Sui's a rapper, Sui's doing the music stuff, like, so when I said Chef Sui, like, shut your ass up, you ain't a chef,
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
You just started, you know, like you just make this video one time. Now you're a chef. It's like if I went out there, it's karate suey. But at some point they took it all serious because they're like, bro, these are traditional bomb ass meals. How the fuck does this young ass kid know how to do this? When my dad's just coaching me through it, you know?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
And then, I mean, first month I had deals with El Pollo Loco, Avocados from Mexico. I had Gordon Ramsay. Hold on a second. What does El Pollo Loco get out of it? They get to post me on their page. why wouldn't they just post you on their page anyway? Because they can't do that. They have to go through industry standards of paying out every person who pops up on it.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
They paid me to try their new carnitas because they knew if they wanted to get to my community and their target audience is the people watching my videos, they're like, you make carnitas and go viral and teach people how to make the best ones, so you should come in and try ours. you know? Really? And they were actually bomb as fuck and they did their thing on them.
We're Out of Time

And I went in there, I tried them. It was actually really funny because when I went to go do that sponsorship, I pulled up to the store, I got the boy a loco, They paid me my money. I did my whatever. I went outside and I jump-started the car and went home. And I see the workers inside. Like, when I walked in, they're like, oh, my God. Like, everyone took pictures and everything.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
And I'm outside jump-starting the car and I'm just like, bye, guys. Like, it's real life. I'm new to this, too. They acted like I'm, like, a rich, famous superstar. I'm like, bro, I'm broke right now. You know, I'm just doing what I got to do. But you don't look broke. You got all that ice around you. Oh, no, I'm broke right now. Not right now. Oh, back then.

So, you know, that was my situation right then and there. What'd you do with your money? So my mom and dad had been retired for eight years since my first song dropped. Mm-hmm. I told them to retire. I take care of the majority of my family, too. And then, you know, also my brother. I want a stay-at-home family. You know? So I tell my family, stay home. Kick back.

Anything I do, put your hands in it. We work as a team. If I'm selling hoodies, you guys help me ship them. Mom on the website. I'm designing. We're all working with materials. We're moving boxes together. We don't pay a facility. We ship a thousand hoodies if we have to. We've had to. I have like pictures of like stacks of boxes in the backyard. Like we're not getting a warehouse.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
A lot of rappers fall victim to that stuff. because they don't have a family around them. It's also why they move the way they move and do the things they do. That's why I put all my money not into security or not into foreign cars or paying friends to make me look cool or be around me. I put my money into my family, the foundation, the things that keep me me.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
We're doing this shit out the crib. We don't pay designers. We don't pay none of that. We just do it ourselves. I want a hoodie. I got you. I got you. No, no, no.

Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
It just felt right. I had to swim in Hot Cheetos for the video, and it burned so crazy. My skin was all red after. I would still rather do that any day than ice bath, so I feel you.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I saw these people in public before. and I was just looking at them, like, bro, he's looking at me weird, like, he might like me, like, a dude, right, and I'm just, like, I'm, like, chill, bro, like, let me just keep walking, and I'm, like, bro, like, he looks like this, and I'm, like, is this motherfucker's mouth watering?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I walk up to him, and I'm, like, what's up, bro, he's, like, yeah, let me get a picture, bro, deadass, bro, you made my mouth water, bro, you made my mouth water when I seen you, and I'm, like, pause, but resume because I know what you mean. I know what you mean. He's like, bro, it's because you always pop up with like all the food. So when I see you, I'm just like,
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Oh, I'm thinking about all the videos I've seen, you know? That's so good, man. But yeah, back to what I was saying, though, about the chef stuff, just so that we could close that topic in. It all started with the music. And then I did my clothing brand. Then I was in between doing content, YouTube, like stuff like that. And then I was just like, did the cooking videos one day.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
It just started blowing up. And then, you know, people know me as Chef Sui, and that's, like, my most famous gig yet. And, like, I really just feel like the reason why it's so much cooler is because, like, I'm just telling you, you could do whatever you put your mind to. Like, I was dead as a rapper on tour, dropping all these songs. I had a record deal and all this and that.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I did the clothing brand, sold so many that I'm stuck in the house shipping for weeks. Like, I've sold out all those products. And then I went and I decided to be a chef and Gordon Ramsay's hitting me up. So tell me about that. That Gordon Ramsay's done? Yeah. So, I mean, I got an email and I'm like, it's just fake, obviously. You're probably just fucking trolling me.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I'm barely learning the temperatures of how to cook and now I have to be on this show. They wanted me to go to Ireland for a month. And like, I don't even know where that is or what that is. I don't know. I'm not even gonna say anything about it, but like, I was like, bro, my dad, he can't go to Ireland with me. So like,
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I'm not going to go without the person who's teaching me how to cook to go on a cooking competition show. Right. Right. And then like a lot of the, I started talking to them more and I was like, maybe it'll be worth it.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
And I just talked to them and then they're like, yeah, bro, we're going to, uh, we're going to take this percentage after you come on our show because we're going to make you famous. I'm like, you're asking me to be a celebrity chef on top level chef. And you want to take my endorsements after that. Like, you're not putting me on, bro. I'm already getting endorsements. You guys are one of the few.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Yeah, I had all the Latinos trying to suck me out. All the Latinos. They were trying to get the Cheeto dust off my fingers, off all my fingers. Oh, that's so good.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
You know, like, I'm not giving that up and staying over there for a month at the peak of my chef career. You get what I'm saying? I'm just like, also, no one could go. And your first interview is going to be in the show, so be ready. You're like, Yeah, these people act... Like, they act like they're so, so big. Like, you're asking me for promo, literally. You're hitting me up for promo.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
You know, so, like, I'll love to gorder out to do a video of him one day, give him some real Mexican food. But, I mean, I'm just not interested in being on the show because... Doesn't that guy yell at people on the show? Yeah. I'm gonna need a fade if he's yelling at me like that. I said, I'm gonna need a fade if he's yelling at me like that. I like vibes in the kitchen.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I like music on, everyone catching a vibe, you over here yelling at me. Mm-hmm. We'll pop off. That'd be awesome. Unless he's teaching me. But if you want to see how I cook, shut the fuck up. Sit down. Get your plate when it's time. Yeah, Muppet.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Never. Um, cocaine. You've never done any drugs. You don't do drugs. No, I don't do drugs. See, the thing is, a lot of rappers fall victim to that stuff because they don't have a family around them or they don't have someone who will smack the shit out of them. It's also why they move the way they move and do the things they do. For me...
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
That's why I put all my money not into security or not into foreign cars or paying friends to make me look cool or be around me. I put my money into my family, the foundation, the things that keep me me. Once I did this music stuff and blew up, I lost everyone. Every friend that I had has now become a customer. All they want is, hey, post me. Hey, don't forget about me. I'm like,
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
You like hot Cheetos? No.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Hey, why don't you answer? Because you're famous. You're a superstar. Oh, there's that. Like, no, my phone was dead. You know, like you lose everyone. So I wanted to make sure I kept my family close to me. So I always remained me. I knew the internet would chew me up and spit me out. But you know, my family is the thing that keeps me sane, you know?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
So like having my family there, like I have this video where I was like 13 years old in the strip club, eating cookies and milk to one of my songs in New York. And people are like, that's so crazy, this and that. How do your parents feel? I'm like, they're on the other side of that camera, like over there, sitting right there, having real drinks, their own personal bitch dancing.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
You know, like they're, you know, they're right there with me. I'm not going to some janky ass strip club in the middle of the night without my parents. I'm 13, you know, like. You're going to take your parents to a strip club? For sure, Austin. You'll take them right now.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
That's crazy. Like, you know, I actually never really been in the crowd at the shows until recently. Yeah. And I can definitely say that's true. Like I went to this one show where I was at Rolling Loud and I was backstage in like 2019. And then I heard Mo Bamba playing my Sheck Wes. I don't know if you know what that sounds like. It's the latest performance song, right?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
See, that's the thing. 58-year-olds will say that, I can't handle a bag of Hot Cheetos. And then you go to the backstage, back room, they're all doing coke and all different types of pills I've never seen. I'm like, chill. I can handle this shit, but no Hot Cheetos?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
So I tell my dad, I'm like, hey, we need to go to the fucking crowd for this. And he's like, fuck, all right, let's go. Let's get you in there. So we run from backstage to the crowd. We're in there. I'm like, yeah.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
dude falls on the, right, and I'm instantly, I was already thinking, nah, bro, like, someone's gonna try to, like, do something, you know, because everyone's all drunk and shit, I didn't know what they were on, he, like, like, it felt like he was pushing me, and I push him, and he just hits the floor, like, not head down, just, just rolls over, and I'm just like,
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
And I told my pops, like, hey, what's up with that? You know, like, boom. He's like, kid's on drugs. Like, I'm just like, what the hell, bro? I'm trying to enjoy the show, but, like, it looks like he died. You know, like, he just, like, lifeless body. And then they come, they pick him up on a wheelchair. I'm like, oh, my dad's like, you might be ODing or something.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
They put him on a wheelchair, like we told the security. And then they put him on the chair, and I never see someone on the chair like that. Like, they have the seatbelt on. And it's like, his body did not have, like, any bones. He looked like he was made of rubber. He's just like silicone, like a doll, just hanging out in the chair. And I'm just like, the whole song is playing.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I'm just looking at him being carried away in the wheelchair. And I'm just like, damn.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Honestly, a lot of older people that we know, especially girls in music videos, I hear, well, she died? How? It's always the most random.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
And it's more so like I feel like the harder part with the young generation and fentanyl is. Hip hop is glorifying it so great on a crazy scale to the point where it's like, that's why you're here. Big boy. Yeah. That is why you're here.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
They glorify it to the point where it's like, like kids want to pop perks to be like their favorite rapper, but your favorite rapper is not really popping perks or else he'd be dead by now because they're all fake. So it's like, how are you promoting something that a drug that doesn't even exist anymore?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Like doctors aren't even giving this shit out barely, you know, like to the point where it's like you're promoting,
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
literally fentanyl at that point you know like we had this drop on our clothing brand that was like when perks were super popular and it wasn't all you know fentanyl out we did a perk 30 and it was a heart and it was like just it was just a heart but it looked like a perk 30 it had the line in the 30 and then Like everyone loved it and everyone was buying it.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
And like these people who don't do perks, it's just the hip hop culture, you know, like. Were those yours? The hoodies? Were those your shirts? Yeah, yeah. From the clothing man, right? And then how do you feel about that now? That was a mistake, you know, now that I see what it's doing and all that.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
So we stopped selling those and we're like completely away from the perk wave or anything like that.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
That's actual stats?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
um but it's like it wasn't just that it was like we did all it was a whole drug drop where it was like some were xan some were molly like all different pills it was like car fresheners i smelled like uh promethazine you know like it was just great flavor and people were like that's so cool and then like um i dropped some pillowcases that were like um like a holder for like a gun box i'm basically dropping toy versions of like
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
hip-hop culture things they glorify so I'm not speaking from someone that is just talking shit about them you know I've been in that situation before where I'm the actual person glorifying it and my explanation for doing so is I that's what everyone's doing in hip-hop and I'm a kid literally when I was 13 my first song you know what I said
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
The first opening line of my song, Pull Up With The Molly I Got Perks. Perks. That's the opening line of my first song ever. Right? This is in 2017. How old were you? I was 13. Well, I was 12 when I made it, and then I turned 13 and dropped it. But that's what you're supposed to say at 12 or something. You know why I said that? Because you were 12 or 13. Yeah, no.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
So I was in the car on the way home from school. And I was really motivated this day to make a song. And my aunt is the only person in my family who plays hip hop. Because it's like on the radio. And she happened to pick me up that day. And I hear in the car, I hear Future. He goes, Marley Perkis sits. Perkis sits. Chase a chick. Never chase a bitch. And I'm like, Perkis sits. Perkis sits. Okay.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
That's what they like. I go and I'm watching all these videos of rappers. Oh, look, perks. Look at these hands. Oh, drugs, drugs. Everyone's like, woo. And I'm like, all right, well, if I show my family life and, you know, my fishing and how big the bass are that I'm catching and how cute my dogs are when they lay around, you know, like, or like, then no one's going to give a fuck.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I got to go do something else. You know, like, go write a book or keep it to yourself. Because in hip hop culture, it's that.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
The Fano? Yeah. I feel it. And like, I'm trying to just explain from like the deeper depths of someone who was actually like, I could understand the, like I was someone that was glorifying it. You know what I'm saying? Now I don't talk about it. Now it's, obviously it's a whole chaos, but like, Every time I would go somewhere, they're always like, oh, Molly and Purse, you got that?
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
You want to do drugs? It's cool to see that. And then I was always never doing drugs or never even like, I was around them all the time. Not a pot? Yeah. Not right now.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Uh, if I get any weed nowadays, it's like directly from growers and stuff. Okay. Lucy, I don't know what the hell that means.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Cause that shit, they're just going to grow it and sell it to the dispensary. But it's like, mine's like private labeling people, you know, like it's like something trustworthy, but you're certain it's not, it's not laced with fentanyl. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I've never even heard of that. Okay.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
No, yeah, for sure. If that's really true, then I'm staying away from anything that's not in the dispensary. Just get it at the dispensary, dude. Yeah, it's easy. Yeah.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
No, you're right. Yeah. Thanks for telling me about that too, though, because I would have never known that was actually for real. There's many people around that smoke. Nobody ever brought that up.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
But, um, no, yeah, I've, I've seen it all. Like just people glorifying it. The only reason I stayed out of it is because I understand how bad that is. I grew up with like my parents, the way they are, they will take in all their like friends and family that were dealing with all these drug issues that are addicted. They would take them in. Like, You can come stay with us. We don't have that much.
We're Out of Time

You can stay with us, and as long as you're not doing drugs, we'll keep the roof over your head and feed you. These are grown men, 30-year-old people that I had to share a room with. I'm already sharing a room with my brother. Now we have to share a room with this 30-year-old person who's trying to come back off drugs, you know?

Yeah, and I grew up with just different people. We loved them so much, and we took them in like family, and we tried to do the best for as many as we could. I like your parents. Yeah, I should have brought them.

I wanted to ask you, what made you bring rappers on here? Because obviously you told me you're 58 and you have a lot of different references and different type of vibe to you that I feel like I wouldn't expect to see you around rappers or choosing rappers as a preferred guest on your show.

Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I feel that. I really had to ask that question because throughout the podcast, it kind of pointed to that direction. Yeah. But I had interest if you actually cared about hip hop or anything like that. I care about kids.

I think you gotta just, I think, damn, bro, it's hard. I'm just, like, giving you straight Mexican advice. That's what I want, Mexican advice. Mexican advice. Damn straight. You got it, bro. If you're going to give your kid some, like, chips or something, just sauce them up. You just know everything can be sauced up. Like, look at this orange juice, right? Uh-huh. Just orange juice.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
But if I were to just rim it with some chamoy and dahin or some margarita salt... It's over. It could be the worst. See, you gave me the best orange juice in the world. Fresh squeeze. The oranges came from the Himalayan mountains and filled me all different types of things used for this orange juice. You could have brought me the worst orange juice in the world.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Just rim it with chamoy and tajin or some margarita salt and lemon. Put a little wedge on that. My son does it. I would have went crazy. I got the tajin to rub that on. Okay, see? Yeah. So I would say just get saucy. Number one, get saucy with it. Number two, get your bases together, like your beans, rice, get those formulas together because they're way easier than you think. Right.

Yep. You love her? Yep. I'm a family guy. Huh. Well. Damn, that's creepy, bro. If that normalcy is for real, be careful out here. When you're doing concerts, you're doing shows? Not right now. Not right now? No, yeah. I put down the shows and concerts for a while. It's been maybe three years. I'll come out when the homies have a show. I'll come out and perform my song with them.

And the last tip I can give you is turkey's ass, you gotta put some fucking bologna in there or something. Bologna. I like them straight prison sandwiches. Slap the bologna in there. Leave your little air one tomato out of here, bro. Just bologna, cheese, mustard, mayo. Throw some hot cheetos in that bitch for the crunch. Look at that. You see that, guys? It's beautiful.

But I haven't really been doing any concerts. You're done with it? No, I want to go back. I just want to... I don't like performing for people who aren't my fans. It sounds stupid. Of course, go perform for Travis Scott's fans. You're going to get publicity. They're going to love you after my game followers. But I just feel like that's the part where I'm like, damn, I hate this shit.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I'm sitting there rapping these songs and these people don't... They don't feel it, you know, or they don't even know me. And it's like, I can make them feel it or whatever, but it's like, bro, I'd rather do this for my supporters. I'd rather go on live or I'd rather, you know, talk to them.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
I knew the internet would chew me up and spit me out. But you know, my family keeps me sane. I'm just telling you, you could do whatever you put your mind to. Like I was dead as a rapper on tour, dropping all these songs. I had a record deal and all this and that. I did the clothing brand, sold so many that I'm stuck in the house shipping for weeks.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Yeah, so what I do is, like, rather than doing something like that, is I'll go live on Instagram and just play them some music or churn up with them. Or, like, I was doing this one thing for a while with Encore where we were doing, like, a show every Friday, but it was a digital show. And, like, we'll bring, like, the top fans backstage, like, on virtually. And then we would, like, have, like...
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
people like all competing for different money and then we'll give it to like the best one. But it was like something for my fans more like my, not just fans, supporters, you know, or people trying to chase the same dream as me. Right. So like, I don't know. I like, I like being close. Even if it's 10 people, I'd rather it be like this than 3000 people who are Travis waiting for Travis Scott.

And they're just annoyed that I'm performing, you know? Right. I want to go out there when they know my songs are here, when they, you know, they feel my vibe. I'm not just going to pop out and do a show and just, Like, it's not like the old days where, like, you go, you perform and perform and perform until you get your name out there. You sell CDs. You sell shit in real life, word of mouth.

I saw him over there, you know? It's not like that. You're going live. I'm going to have fucking 5,000, 10,000 people in there. I mean, what? You think I could sell out 5,000, 10,000 people, like, in one second? You know? So that's the best way to get the reach to my audience. Especially the people who are far away who could never see me in real life. They live in the UK and Brazil.

Those are the biggest supporters because they're like, dude, I love this guy. We have nothing like this out here. The swag, the lyrics, the vibe.

Honestly, I feel like me being in the game early was the best thing that could happen for me because I was losing my mind growing up. I felt like Literally from kindergarten all the way to when I dropped out in freshman year, like, I could not be there for eight hours a day chasing something that isn't my dreams. You know, like, I know multiplication. I know division. I know English.

Like, let's go get this money because my parents, they struggled for a long, long time. And it's like, I couldn't see past Lion King. I didn't want Lion King Part 2. I didn't want to watch Finding Nemo. I just wanted to get some more money so my mom's not sitting in the car crying, you know? More money, more problems. Nope. More money, less problems. Oh, that's... You weren't that broke.

If it made more problems, if I got to do this, got to do that, hey, at least I got the money. If you don't have money, you can't eat. If you don't have money, you can't pay your dog's vet bill. If you don't have money, you can't go to the dentist. If you don't have money, you can't even live. So there's no problem.

It's like driving on the freeway. Like the stakes get high. You know, obviously you always want a car. You always want a bike. But then you're on the freeway. One second to the next. you could crash out. That's what you mean, like more money, more problems in that aspect, right? It's, it's,

kids to just go out and get their food like that. It's even easier when the meals come in little packs at the stores. They're literally promoting people to not cook anymore. And it's like damn near soon enough they're going to lock up the vegetables. Right now I'm enjoying the fact that ingredients are still Bullshit. They're going up, but they're available.

And growing up, I would do all this music shit. We were saying it would kill the vibe. All these business people and all these suits and all these dickhead rappers we have to be around. All the people that we had to work with would kill our vibe. But every single day when I get home, I have a home-cooked meal with my family. And it just smacks reality back into me. And I'm like, oh my God.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
It's not even about the food. I'm not... I'm not filming Big Barry. I'm not Big Barry. I love the vibes.

Hey, coming soon. Coming soon. I got you. Coming soon. Unreal. I'm saying, though, like, let me be the one to tell you that food isn't just about eating and getting fat. Because every time I bring up food to someone who's not a foodie, they're like, no, that's too much sugar, but it's too much fat. But there's that, like, can you vibe for a second? Can we just enjoy the moment?
We're Out of Time

Like, put the big-ass plate, put the cartoony there. Let's not eat it. The charcuterie, whatever the fuck you call it. Put that shit there. And just let's have a picnic. Let's drink our mimosas, eat a cracker, and throw it away. Whatever. I don't want to waste food, so we all eat it. But I'm just saying it's about the vibes. We don't do sushi on Sundays because sushi just pops up at the door.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
It's because we're going to watch movies. We're going to watch our shows when they come out. We're going to eat the sushi. That's part of the vibe.

What's your name, by the way? It's Richard Tate, right? Richard Tate. Richard Tate. Okay, you never know, because you've never seen some people, they come up with these little names. Like, I thought Drake's name was Drake. It's not Drake. What is it? Aubrey Graham. Really? Yeah, so I thought you were pulling a Drake on me, bro. I need to know if it was the real name or not.

Right? Honestly, you know, that thought would come to my head, right? For a second, like, You're not going to send this plate to Africa if I don't finish it. And he's like, oh, but your cousin's sleeping on the couch and he's hungry when he wakes up. Oh, six of my cousins come running in.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Okay, but if your cousin is in the house, wouldn't you want to save some food for the man when he woke up off the couch? Hell no, he's going to get his one way or another. You're going to fall asleep and you're going to wake up and they're going to be sick. Oh, really? That's the way it works.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Yeah. But we have so many, like, Mexicans that we know for having, like, a lot big family, you know? Yeah. So, like, people tell me, like, in the videos, sometimes I'll do 10 videos a day. They're like, what do you do with the food? I'm like, bro, I just call, make one phone call. They come running in like a fucking... Like cockroaches, like boom, boom. Everything's gone quick.
