FEATURING LONELY

You guys met Lonely when I interviewed the since disassembled Gorgeous Records . He was the young nigga with the big head who was too funny to have a serious conversation with . Well two months later , nothing has really changed . I lost my SD card with their video interview on it , so you just had to take my word for it in September . Well now , you can see for yourselves how much of a fool he is . I had already contacted Lone weeks ago to see when we could plan an interview , but that night it just happened . I had literally just interviewed Heze Le Flair like an hour ago , and then him and his team dipped off to make it to a show , where Lone was also set to perform .
So I contemplated going for about 20 minutes . My phone was on 25 %, I didn ’ t really know if there was going to be good lighting to record , and I was tired from the interview I just did . Regardless , I decided to boss up and go get another interview , and I could also get footage for their interviews in the process .
Moments later I ’ m in a Lyft , and I ’ m abruptly being told that this is my stop . I didn ’ t really know where I was going in all honesty , so I ’ m telling the driver like nah man this can ’ t be it . Nonetheless it was , and ya boy got out the car . Luckily there ’ s a lot of people outside , which is a strong indication that this is the place . I walk in , and immediately I ’ m being pressed for $ 5 . I don ’ t mind , it ’ s a part of the experience , so I pull out my card to be told my least favorite words in the world : “ Cash Only .” So now I ’ ve got to find an ATM , and I don ’ t even know where I am . Keep in mind that it is also 10 something , and I ’ m walking around Atlanta with a nice ass camera basically wearing a sign that says “ Rob Me .” Luckily , as I ’ m leaving Lone spots me and says watsup and that he ’ ll be ready for the interview after his performance . It works with me , so I head to the CVS down the street , so I could get cash back . And let me just say , whoever ’ s idea it was at CVS to do $ 5 cash backs is the GOAT . But yeah , I ’ m back at the venue now , and I pay my entry fee and get ready to record some footage .
Nope . None of that . The lighting was pure ass , with nothing my but ready lights , and not even a lot of space around performers . So I just chill and watch the show . Sadly , I don ’ t even know who was performing due to the fact that it was almost pitch black and there were no announcements as to who was on the mic . I wasn ’ t impressed with the up and comers , but it wasn ’ t entirely their fault . Time passed until it was time for Heze and Lone to do a joint set .
Everything that happened next was a total bur . The DJ started playing “ Spook ” while I tried to manipulate the red light into giving me good footage . Nope . None of that . And then everything just went crazy . I ’ m still mad I didn ’ t get any of it on camera . Lone basically says “ Fuck this weak ass function , I ’ m out !” and puts the mic down and storms out , with Heze following suit and also calling the party lame . The DJ blamed the unlitness on them , and people was officially ready to fight . And that ’ s exactly what people got ready to do .
Somehow , we all made it through the hate and craziness that aspired , and we ended up filming all of Lone ’ s venting directly behind the venue . His venting was ignorant as hell , but there were some valuable gems in there as well . At the end of the day , everything was good , and the interview came with authenticity , humor , and a crazy ass story .
