You think of melodies. You think of Patterson, New Jersey. You think of even though we sponsored by 18001738 owes this man Robin Jeans, they oldest man. You think of several sold out key words, sold out stadiums and arenas. You think of somebody that when you usually. When you. When you come out and have such an impact, it's hard to hit another one out the park. Like my brother Crackerson. You think of this guy, he's constantly smacking them out the park. You think of a great father. Think of somebody that was able to overcome adversity. You think of somebody that's able to about to do it again, you know what I mean? Being on top is always beautiful. Being at the top of the mountain. When you're able to fall off and get back to the top of the mountain, you're a special individual. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for my brother, Fetty.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Wow.

[Jada]

Welcome to the Joe and Jada Show. My brother. What's good?

[Fetty Wap]

I'm easy on him, man. Easy style. You already know, man.

[Jada]

No doubt. I seen you in there working out, getting your mind right. Seeing you come home, you actually had a. A different kind of come home like him. I put him and Max B in the top. Come home, Max B came.

[Jadakiss]

French waited for him.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I don't know how much of a pause it is. It sound like something. Come on off. Rip release. Yo, Come on.

[Unknown Guest]

Come home.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Ain't no. He had one of the best come, homes. Yo, my man, that's why.

[Jada]

That's not forced. Cause your mother and my mama said it over 40 billion times.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Come on. I can never be a partner, okay?

[Jada]

But his release. We're gonna get our Harvard jargon up. His release from incarceration was one of the best and different and amazing that we seen. Like Max B. Where he actually went to see the lane. He went directly to the bag. Let me out. Let me go talk to these people and see how we gonna get back to the bread, you know what I

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

mean, man, Let me.

[Jadakiss]

Let me ask you something, man. So you go to jail, right? I don't know what you want me to say.

[Jada]

Nothing. My hands was tight.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

What happens with Fetty Bond, who has four number one hits? I'M not talking about urban. I'm talking about number one out the park. Cyndi Lauper, Fetty Wap. Right? Four in a row, right? In your worst day, in a crackhead day. I used to tell Remy this all the time.

[Jadakiss]

So, I mean, I. Crackhead, they will get 5,000 a piece to perform forever. We do four, we make 20,000.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You and your worst day for four

[Jadakiss]

number ones in your worst. In the crackhead day will be 20,000 the show.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You got four.

[Jadakiss]

Four number ones.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You do four or five of them a month, that's a hundred thousand dollars. That's a principal salary of a year.

[Jada]

This is in the worst. In his worst.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

No, this is crackhead. I could not understand for the life of me. How do you get into this trouble? Could you break that down? Us? Why did that happen? What. What put you in that position?

[Fetty Wap]

I mean. I mean, it's real simple, though. Like, it's simple as far as, like, how it happened and how I got to that point. Just doing too much with people. Like the saying, go. Like, I kept pouring out an empty cup, you know what I'm saying? Even though I kept filling the cup back up, it kept running empty until I could not fill a cup up no more. You know what I'm saying? At a certain point, it was like, you know what? Like, I'm doing more than I can handle by myself. Feel me? Like, I had to fire the management. I had to. I was just doing everything by myself, you know what I'm saying? Like, when it was coming to, like, the book shows, like, I remember a few times people was reaching out to me through the dm, like, yo, we've been hitting up your manager. I don't have a manager. You know what I mean? And I'm like, yeah, talk to me directly. So I got all these people calling me. I'm not knowing how to handle all this by myself. And I'm really booking every show by myself. So now I'm trying to figure out how to do it. I gotta figure out how to do, like, the W Nines and all this type of thing like that.

[Fetty Wap (Rap Segment)]

And I don't know nothing.

[Fetty Wap]

I'm like, no, it's too much for me. So it's like, the only thing I know how to do other than music was hustle. So I'm like, I still gotta feed the family. I still gotta feed the kids. And it was like, instead of me moving away from the pride and just asking for help, you know, I'm like, I'm gonna just do it by Myself, like I've been doing. So when it came down to it, you know, certain things happen. Certain people got caught up, my name got brought up. And this will happen.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

It's always gonna happen in hip hop.

[Jadakiss]

People don't understand. Like, I try to tell them all

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

the time, you in a club, look, I just told you about me getting arrested. I didn't even finish that story with Remy with. I got arrested for no reason. They beat this guy up. They locked me up. I think, yo, Fat Joe robbed him this and this and that. Shit happened to me about 10 times. So they kept. They was coming up to me, I'm rich. And they were saying, yeah, robbed him for the skinniest chain never created somewhere. I'm like, yo, bro, this don't even make sense. You coming to my album release signing to lock me up, talking about I stuck a guy up for a 300 chain. All right? So the point is, used to a lifestyle, and you out there, you making a bunch of money, but you spending

[Jadakiss]

a bunch of money.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

And it got overwhelming to the point

[Jadakiss]

of where you was, like, you was

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

used to that money. So you said, yo, let me go hustle and get that type of money right there, right? So now, the new Fetty Wap that came home, you know, you gotta adjust.

[Fetty Wap]

That's a fact.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So there's some times where we doing great. We're the family. I tell the wife, yo, go get the Birkin. Go get the this, go get the that. Then there's times she gotta sip through

[Jadakiss]

a straw, and instead of noble, you

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

gotta go to the diner. I've had those times in my life where I gotta adjust to say, all right, shit is slow right now. Let's start eating some diner food, tie shit, get back up. These are like the adjustments you gotta make throughout your career. Because in this career shit, it's not guaranteed, but there is something guaranteed. You have four hits. Your generational artists, there's. People grew up and started rapping, just singing and rapping because of you. There's people who looked up to you. I feel like you birthed the whole genre of music. I want you to know, yo, it ain't so bad. 20,000 a show or something like that. If you get four of them a month, five of them a month. I've been there before. You know, when I got caught with taxes, they took all my money, millions of dollars. And niggas was playing with the same guys who spam me 50,000 a show. They're like, yo, how many times you think people want to Hear? Lean back. I got 12,000. Huh? Romania, 12,000.

[Jadakiss]

Shit.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Bangladesh, yo, we got 12,000. Same guy been paying me 50,000 for 18 years. They play with you like that. But I had to say, all right, until I get another one, it ring off crazy.

[Jadakiss]

And I get back my life, and I got them all back. So when all the Way up came out.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Oh, God, I wouldn't even take they show.

[Jadakiss]

Yo, Joe, we want to book the show. I'm like, you, sir, cannot book the show.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Unless. Guess what, guys?

[Jadakiss]

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You pay 175 to 200 on purpose. No, that's not fair, Joe. That's what it is for you.

[Jadakiss]

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know, I told him outside, I said, yo, some guys go in there, they get f. Fat.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

How do you go to jail and get fat when everybody works out all day?

[Fetty Wap]

Some people ain't got that motivation.

[Jada]

Fat in the world.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Is this not true?

[Fetty Wap]

It's not true. No, not really.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

It's not true. Because when you wake up in jail, the whole jail's working out. Like, there's no way to avoid it. Hey, basketball's here. Race is here. Like, bro, for you to sit there for four years just eating your face out, you know, like, you gotta be a lazy motherfucker.

[Fetty Wap]

I mean, but some people can't come out. They sell, though. You know, you got the head of the Muslim father. He won't allow you to do nothing in the jail, though. Like, you can't get no money. You can't move around. If you want to take your shahada, you want to come over here, sit in your cell. They can't go nowhere. So you know what I mean? Cause you really. You did this for protection. You ain't did this because you believe in Allah, you know what I'm saying? It be like that. It be a lot of them in there. So, like, it'll be them type of that can't come out. They said, we're gonna protect you.

[Jadakiss]

Keep reading and like that.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, you feel me? Like, they gotta do, like, the cleaning. They be cleaning, like, right down the table.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I had Hong Kong Mongolia wipe my. While I was gone. Big yo, wipe this down. I want that spotless, man.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, but they, They. I mean, but you know, they stand. They still stand on business, though. Like, as far as, like, the. The real right ones. Like, they still stand.

[Fetty Wap (Rap Segment)]

They.

[Fetty Wap]

Not just because I say that. Cause, you know, some people that's on the outside that never been to jail might have something to say about that

[Jada]

comment I don't understand.

[Fetty Wap]

You know what I'm saying? Like, jail definitely made me realize, like, you know what I'm saying? Everything I was doing, like, everything I was doing wrong about myself for the family, for the kids, you know what I mean? Like, I got a chance to sit back and reflect on everything I was doing. Like, I'm going in there thinking, like, damn, I just spent this money on.

[Jadakiss]

I remember, I bro this, I bro this. I bought bro this.

[Fetty Wap]

And I'm like. I'm like, I only did this for my daughter. I only did this for my son. Only birthdays or whenever I was with him. It was never just, I'm outside, let

[Jadakiss]

me just buy them.

[Fetty Wap]

You know what I mean? Like, no ignorant shit like that, you feel me? Like that I was doing when I was younger. And now it's like, it just made me realize, like, you know what? Like this time when you come home, you know what I mean? You owe them that time back. I mean, you owe them that time back the same way you were spurging on the guys and everybody robbing Jane Doe. Like he said, you know, all that type of shit. Like, I mean, let's. Let's take the babies, let's go. Let's go get some Chanel purses for the girls. My daughters.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Did a lot of guys disappoint you

[Jadakiss]

when you went and did your time and you like that? You thought they would write you a letter or something like that?

[Fetty Wap]

Of course they did.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I had one of my guys, one of the most Realest guys in the world. He catch a murder case. All these guys he used to think he was cool with, none of them showed up to court. None of them came around. Nobody visited him. Nobody this and this and that. By miracle of God, he beat the murder case. He came out, he's hanging out with all these dudes. I'm like, yo, my man, you're lying to yourself. But they already proved to you. God put you in a position so they could prove to you if they real family, if they real friends or not. What my man said, who was that?

[Jadakiss]

Was that George Bush?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Fooled me once, huh? Shame on me. Fool me twice, you know, in my life, I learned to not forgive those guys. It took me three times.

[Jadakiss]

I went rich, broke, rich, broke, rich.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Till I finally saved.

[Jadakiss]

That was four. That was four.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

No, no, that was three. But it took me a long time to. You just learn from my experience. Those guys, they know good.

[Jadakiss]

They never gonna turn around and be good. They're never gonna be loyal.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You wasted your time.

[Fetty Wap]

That's a fact.

[Jada]

Now you get out new music. How was it in there? Was you able to think of songs? Was you able to think of shit? Cause everybody I know be like, I can't think of nothing. I didn't. My mind wasn't even on music while I was in.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, I was in the hole. I was in the shoe for six and a half months. I was in the shoe for six and a half months. And that's when everything started coming to me. Like, that's when I really had that sit back time. Like, all right, that's really around the time where. It's crazy because my first two years in, I was so, like, how I could put this, Like, I was so much on go time with the guys. I wasn't even, like, thinking about music. Like, I'm. When five o' clock come, once you hear that door unlock, tie your boots. Like, it's none of that. Like, you don't have that luxury to just like I said, unless you go to a different section of the jail. You feel me? Like, so once you start coming down the levels, like, it was like, all right, whatever. And then, like, as soon as I got to, like, a good jail, like, where I was where I could chill with the champagne and all that like that. Like, they locked me, right? But I only. I ain't even make it there 20 days.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's when they. That's when they sent you home?

[Fetty Wap]

Nah, they sent me to the shoe.

[Jada]

I sent them back up.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, so I went to. I got to, like, a camp. I got there. Like, I was there for 20 days.

[Jadakiss]

They.

[Fetty Wap]

They tried to say I escaped the camp for me. So I beat it, though. So, Yeah, I beat it funny. No, but they still set me in there.

[Jadakiss]

Like, all right, look, you got.

[Fetty Wap]

You got too much influence. You got too, like, you know what I mean? Like, I hate that.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah.

[Fetty Wap]

And that's how they. That's how they get us.

[Jadakiss]

Like, that's how. Especially, like, I was like, us. That's how they get us. Like, influence. He could do this. Whatever.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

They hating on you and they setting examples on you.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Just because of who your name is and it ain't you as a person,

[Jadakiss]

they don't necessarily mean that you're like that. But they.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

They play that game with everybody. Like, Remy, she was in parole, right? On TV with a family, number one song in America. This. They would not let her go do a show. And these bum ass parole officers just like, nah, no, this. And she's on. Like, you see, she's trying to change her life. She's trying to be a boss. She's trying to.

[Jadakiss]

This.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

She's on a TV show. This. That. They fronted on her for, like, I think. What was it? She had like, three years of parole. I went with her when they had an ankle bracelet on her three years later. Like, you know, it was incredible, bro, but they were just abusing the power. So you came home. Is it a new style, Fetty Wap, or is it the classical Fetty Wap?

[Jada]

You finished talking about jail? Cause I'm gonna start asking about the album.

[Jadakiss]

Okay?

[Jada]

You just want to know about the rapsy.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That 1800 Jada kiss.

[Jada]

He talking about the news to eat his own bottle.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

1800.

[Jada]

How you pronounce it? Xavier.

[Fetty Wap]

Xavier.

[Jada]

Xavier.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Xavier.

[Fetty Wap]

No, Xavier. Like Xavier, but just take the X out and put his

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

petty bump.

[Jadakiss]

What was that

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

how you come up with that name?

[Fetty Wap]

Xavier.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, Xavier.

[Fetty Wap]

So that's like. That's like my alter ego. So, like, when I started doing music before, like, I. I used to do this thing, like, Zubi, like, a lot of my oldest songs. Like, and it really came from, like, Gucci used to be on, like, Gucci Man Lafleur. So I'm like, I can't say Fetty Wap Lafleur. Like, I was like. I used to be like, Zoover. Like, everybody called me Zoo. I mean, so it's like, just put it together. So it's like, at one point I was changing my name anyway, so that was my name. Zavir.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I get it.

[Fetty Wap]

See what I'm saying that's fine.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I get it. But sound right?

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Jadakiss]

I'm curious.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

What, are you doing some new type shit or you doing Fetty? Why?

[Fetty Wap]

It's a little mixture of both, you know, it's just a more mature version of me, that's all. Like a more mature version. Like, I'm still me. Just. Just, you know, I got a few. I got a few different bops in there. You know what I'm saying?

[Jadakiss]

Like, let me tell you something. I tell you in your face, man. I always been a fan of you. I've always thought you was a great person. I know you gonna come with a hit record. And if you don't, you talking to a guy been around 30 something years. You got four number ones, you get

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

yourself a book, you get. All right.

[Jadakiss]

I'm just telling you the truth. What I'm saying is facts.

[Fetty Wap]

No, I respect that, though.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jadakiss]

You get your money.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

How it come? Either you gonna make a ton of money, you know, we all looking for the hit record to make a ton of money. Or we take that slow.

[Jadakiss]

Good money, which is better than a lot.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

99% of Americas.

[Fetty Wap]

No, I gotta. I got a good team behind me now. Like, I got a great scene behind me.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, I see you got about 76 people with you over here. You even got white people in the entourage.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, I'm doing, like, a documentary.

[Jadakiss]

Oh, yeah, I'm doing a documentary. Tell me, so what's the documentary called?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Where's it coming out? I don't know yet.

[Jada]

It's getting that footage.

[Fetty Wap]

So it's just like. No, I'm just taking this crowd. I'm taking my craft serious this time. I mean, like, I already. I did what I did outside of it. I mean, nobody can't take that from me. I did my time. I stood on my tent. Nobody can't take that from me. So it's like, all right, now do something for Fetty. Like, I mean, like, the same way I was confident and going to grab the. I mean, and hitting the kitchen and going outside had that confidence level. Like this. What I do, like now, I mean, like, I know I can make this. I got that same confidence with the music, man. You feel me? So that's how I'm on it.

[Jadakiss]

I don't know how crazy that was. I don't think you even understand how crazy that was.

[Fetty Wap]

Nah, I didn't.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I'm not, yo.

[Fetty Wap]

Cause I don't look at myself how everybody else look at me. Feel me? That's always been my problem. Like me as a person. Like, I remember one time we had Kane bro had invited me to his hood. We came out there to Yonkers like and like everybody looking at me crazy. Cause I went to the Chinese store.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Like I've been there like four chicken wing fresh.

[Fetty Wap]

You feel me? But it's just like, you know, certain people got this, got this aspect of how they view me because they hear the songs but they don't know where I'm from.

Life on the other side of the hill is giving grown up vibes. But over here on my podcast, Untraditionally Lala, I'm still that Lala, you either love or love to hate. I've been full on over sharing with fans, family, and former frenemies like Tom Schwartz. I had a little bone to pick with Schwartzy when he came on the pod. You don't feel bad that you told me I was a bootleg housewife? I almost flipped a pizza in your lap.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Oh, my God. I literally forgot about that until just now.

[Fetty Wap]

Sorry. I don't want to. I don't want to blame alcohol, that

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I got to blame that one on the alcohol.

[Lala Kent]

Listen to Untraditionally lala on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

But I'm glad you back and. And you got a good team. Let me tell you something. I've invested millions in artists, me. So I've been in the other guys. And when the artist tells me y'

[Jadakiss]

all don't want to be here, I say, not a problem. You sure you don't want to be with us? Not a problem.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

All right, here you go. I've had a. Several artists I spent millions of dollars on that turned around was like, yo, I don't think this working out. You sure you don't think this work? All right, it ain't working out. I'm gonna go do whatever. Oh, damn.

[Jadakiss]

I don't think none of them ever

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

popped off when they left. But the point is, I never believed in holding people against their will or because I signed a talented person. Hey, you gotta take some credit because

[Jadakiss]

you signed it, right?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

But, you know, it's crazy. I. I see it all the time. I see it with. I see men, Men handling female artists that they signed up to. Yo, I don't care. Yo, I signed it. It's like, yo, all right, you gave her.

[Jadakiss]

You know, you gave her a shot. She blew up. You made millions.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

She don't want to be here. Let's move on, work out some shit

[Jadakiss]

and keep it pushing.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know what I'm saying? So, you know, that's something that's been

[Jadakiss]

the ugly in the. In the hip hop game.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Somebody feel like they signed you, man, it'll be a guy who signed you. Never seen you again.

[Fetty Wap]

That's a fact.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

And then you blow. And they like, yo, that's it happened. Somebody wrote a hit hook for me, right?

[Jadakiss]

Hit hook. I thought I was like, damn, this thing about to be rich, right?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Cause I'm giving up the right publishing

[Jadakiss]

to him and everything. Yo, you wrote. Don't worry. This, this, this.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So about a honey.

[Jadakiss]

Guys came up to me like, yo,

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

you know, I own the guy. You know, I own the guy. You know, I gave him ten grand while he was drunk in the gambling spot. I own him. I. This, this, this. I'm like, yo, he got nothing.

[Fetty Wap]

That's crazy.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

He's supposed to make millions of dollars. I swear to you. They kept coming up to me. Like I said, yo, I worked with him.

[Jada]

I know. He told me. I happened to notice when I had

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

to say, I'm giving him the publishing.

[Jada]

I don't have to say, yo, you looking. I know,

[Unknown Guest]

I know.

[Jada]

And I'm not telling you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yo, listen, but it's the craziest I ever seen about now. I'm happy for the guy because guy works hard. He's a great guy. I'm like, all right, this guy gonna be caked up. He came out the woodworks, yo, I own him, yo. I octopus hands. Octopuses. And I'm like, you know, and so what's so important is for artists out

[Jadakiss]

there to not be in the position that most people be in is you

[Jada]

be going, what it is that you not saying is we all, us three up here, whoever's back there, that's artists, you gotta learn. We don't. We didn't come in and shit. Learning. So the faster we know we getting done wrong, the faster you can get out of that situation. But it's to learn from there and then to educate those that's coming up. Because it's going to keep happening as long as you don't have the knowledge. They looking for talented.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Most important you need to do is get a lawyer.

[Jada]

Stupid even. Sometimes the lawyers down with the label. Then you get caught in the triple cross. So you gotta. You gotta learn as much as you can. Pray and surround yourself with some good people, because they're gonna keep doing it. That's the up part. It's never gonna stop.

[Fetty Wap]

That's their job. Yeah.

[Jada]

And then that's fucked up.

[Jadakiss]

You know what I mean, man? I had a lawyer I really trust.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I was with him for about 10, 15 years. He introduced me to the guy who

[Jadakiss]

lined me up for the.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

For the tax case.

[Jadakiss]

I never trusted him again. I got rid of him. I said, yo, this guy lined Me up. I don't know if he got caught up in some shit and lined me

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

up with the accountant who I never seen again in my life, who didn't pay my bills, robbed me and I went to the feds because of him, man. So I gotta agree with Kiss when he says sometimes you can't even trust your own lawyer. You know, some of these guys be connected. It's the craziest shit. Trust is a hard thing in life. It's crazy because I still trust me. I'm dumb enough to trust.

[Fetty Wap]

I can't do that. I don't got it in me to do that.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I caught two accountants robbing me for millions of dollars. After I caught the Fed case, I caught another accountant that we treated like family stealing like $3 million from me. Like. Like this shit is legendary. Like this shit.

[Jada]

What's the. How many accountants get killed a year?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

How about they don't even go to jail, bro? That's why you can't even sue them. You can't even ish in a couple counting funerals. Let it calm down in a Calm down.

[Jada]

A couple counts gotta get That's a Kiss ass.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, Kiss is crazy, but I ain't lying. It's like a loophole with these accountants, how they get away with this shit. You know what I'm saying? But you got a team. You on the go. We got some new music.

[Jadakiss]

Oh, yeah, let's hear that shit.

[Jada]

[Jadakiss]
