You know what I'm saying?
That gave me the confidence to pursue art.
Amazing.
Now, drawing is a very hard space to make money in, right?
So when did that first opportunity arise?
So like, I started when I was a kid, but then I stopped drawing when I was like 13.
Then I started making music.
And then all the way to 2020, when it happened, it's what made me start painting again.
And then, but nobody knew I could paint because I haven't painted in years.
And I started painting.
I went to the art store.
I got the canvas.
I got the paint.
I started painting.
And then all my friends were like, what the f ⁇ , bro?
You're really good at this shit, bro.
You can make a lot of money.
so i'm like hmm yo they might be right so i just took it serious i started painting 10 paintings a day painting 10 paintings a day bro and yeah like it just from there it was history bro and what would you paint just different things yeah like i would paint like portraits of people so like i would um like i would message a hundred people a day on instagram like oh yeah like yo um let me make a custom portrait of you let me make a portrait of you i'll just mess a hundred people so that's how i was able to build like a clientele now i have over like 3 000 collectors that yeah people that own my paintings that's amazing yeah bro and that's that's the hustle that people don't see.
Yeah, people don't see that.
They call you an overnight success, but you've been DMing 100 a day for two years straight.
Exactly.
That's what I did too at first.
Yeah, 100 a day for three, four years.
Yeah, bro.
It's the same like door-to-door sales.
It was like DM to DM.
And then who was that first big celebrity client for you?
Man, it was, so this was in 2021.
My homie calls me.
He's like, yo, Drake is having his birthday party.
You should paint him and his son.
And I'm like, oh, shit, that's a good idea.
But the party was the next day.
And he called me at like 3 a.m.
So I only had like six hours to paint the painting.
So I painted the painting
and I pull up to the party around 7 p.m.
before the party starts.
And the security is like, yo, what the f you doing with this big painting?
It's like a six foot tall thing.
That shit's huge.
And I'm like, oh,
I had to come up with an excuse real quick.
I was like, yo, Drake's dad told me to surprise him.
So they let me through.
So they let me through.
They walked me to the green room where Drake was going to be.
I put the painting back there.
I leave.
And then I come back at like 11 p.m.
p.m when the party's jumping and then there's like a big line outside so i'm like that i'm skipping the line i went to the back to the front security remembers me so they escort me back there everybody's looking at me like i'm a celebrity or something because they escorted me to the green room yeah then i walk in the green room i see drake in there the paintings in there i'm like yo i'm the one that painted that he looks at it he's like nah i'm like yo for real i painted that he's like what for real bro i love it bro and like after that day bro like that's when I started charging like $20,000 for paintings and people just hit me up.
DJ Khaled hit me up.
I did one for him and his kids.
And like,
just went out the roof.
That's incredible, dude.
So what were you charging before the 20K?
$250.
So you 100x over 100K.
For real.
That's insane.
Yeah, I was only charging $250.
Dude, that's crazy.
Do you get mistaken to be a celebrity a lot?
Man, people come at me.
Yeah.
I mean, people already tell me that I'm a celebrity.
You get that vibe.
Yeah, like they just be like, yo, you're a celebrity now.
I just feel like I'm just normal.
Bro, when you were at my event last night, someone came up to me and they were like, is that Kodak Black?
No way.
i swear kodak oh my god
i was like what that's crazy yeah dudes straight jokes i don't get mistaken i mean i don't look like anyone no you hit you you look like yourself
but you went from uh paintings to cars right yeah so what was that transition like so it was crazy because i had an um an art basil event called art beast um in december last year and then this is the day before the event
my homie calls me.
He's like, yo, Artland, you want to paint my Lamborghini?
And I'm like,
yeah.
I'm like, yo, to be honest, I don't know what to do on it.
So I'm going to just throw paint on your car.
And then he was like, all right, let's do it.
So the next day happens.
He brings the car.
I threw the paint.
And then after that day,
my homie Neil was there.
Neil, have you heard of Time Peace Trader?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Neil, he was there.
So he's 6ix9ine's jeweler.
He sees me throw the paint.
And then he calls me a month later with 6ix9ine on the phone.
He's like, yo, Arlena, I got 6ix9ine on the phone.
He wants you to paint all his cars.
And I'm like, oh, so I paint all
five of his cars.
And then that's when the shit just went viral.
Wow.
Everybody's like, yo, paint my car, paint my car.
And then it just happened just like that, bro.
Yeah, you did Sean O'Malley.
You did Natasha Graziano.
You did a bunch of big people.
Yeah, bro.
And I saw you actually get some hate for it.
Bro, every day I get hate.
They're like, yo, anybody can do this.
Yo, my two-year-old can do this.
And I'm like, all right, go ahead, go do it.
but the thing is, like, it's, I'm not just throwing paint, you know, I'm saying people come to experience.
So when I do these cars, people come.
I have events called the Artland Experience where people come watch me live paint these cars.
And when I'm doing it, the art of the cars is like me performing.
It's like a performance art.
And I'm like throwing the paint and then putting all my energy behind the paint.
And I'm speaking life behind the paint.
So it's like that, whatever I speak into this throw, it's captured on the car.
Wow.
So now it's, it's captured for life it's not going anywhere so it's the intent intention behind the paint interesting yeah yeah art's very fascinating a lot of it is subjective right because there's pieces that sell for millions i'm like i don't understand it but then there's pieces that i think are amazing selling for like 50 bucks exactly bro yeah it's all subjective bro and like and you just have to know your worth you know what i'm saying because i can say this is worth 250 dollars or i can say this is worth 250 000 i'm the only one that can um tell people my value you know what i'm saying who's who are like the goats in the art space like people you look up to?
Right now,
Damien Hearst, Takashi Murakami, Alec Monopoly.
Yeah.
And I got some friends that are dope artists, like Yoast, Andres God,
Alan Berman.
Those are some upcoming artists right there.
And those guys that were high up, like what do they sell their pieces for?
Man,
they sell their pieces.
Damien Hurst probably has a piece for like 5 million.
What?
Probably like 10 million, honestly.
Holy
crap.
What is it?
Just a painting?
Yeah, it's just a painting.
He just
throws paint on a canvas as well.
No way.
Yeah, yeah.
And his goes for like 10 million.
Oh, my gosh.
So it's really just the marketing and branding almost.
Yeah, it is.
Because you're doing the same exactly, bro.
And it's like, it's the same thing.
Like,
Nike can sell shoes for $250, but Louis Vuitton sells shoes for $2,000.
It's all about the branding.
Yeah, it's the same quality, probably.
Exactly.
I don't know.
There's a quality.
It's a shoe, but it's just the name brand.
People are buying the artist.
They're not even buying the art.
right you know i'm saying you buy a piece of the artist that's what you're paying for yeah are there any brands you want to collab with in the future oh yeah i want to um i'm going to collab with louis vuitton wow i'm going to collab with nike
i'm going to collab with lamborghini so i'm going to come out with my own lamborghini no way yeah yeah yeah
called the lanorgini yeah so how many will there be probably like 20 in in the whole world and probably selling like five million a pop holy crap yeah you know how virgil came out with his own maybach yeah yeah like he did a limited series so i'm gonna do the the same thing with Lamborghini.
Like you're already talking to them, or you're just manifesting?
Yeah, I'm actually, yeah, dude.
Congrats.
I mean, so the sky is the ceiling with this stuff.
There's no limit to this.
Like, where do you see this going, man?
This is crazy to me.
Man, I believe that I will be the one of the greatest artists to ever live.
Wow.
Like, ever.
That's what I believe.
Dude, I could see it.
Yeah, bro.
So, and I mean, it's already happening.
Like, I just, it's only been 2020 since I started taking the series, you know what I'm saying?
So, yeah.
I believe it's going to happen.
I can see it.
You got the energy.
You got the branding, and you got the right people around you.
Yeah, exactly.
That's important, too.
And also, the cool thing with art is my friend has the biggest Basquiat collection in the world.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not even public, but we were talking about this earlier.
He takes loans against his art.
So I think each piece is worth like $2 million, $2.5 million.
So whenever he needs money, he just goes to the bank, goes to a lender.
Yeah.
$2 million out.
Exactly, bro.
Yeah, I can do that with my art as well, too.
Have you done it yet?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get it appraised.
And then say this art is worth $60,000.
I need $60,000.
I go to the bank.
They'd be like, what are your assets?
And I'd be like, oh, I have this painting.
And then I get it appraised, 60,000.
Okay, go to the bank.
They give me the 60,000 for the loan.
Insane.
So you're like a real-life money printer.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, there's not many things.
I can't think of anything else where you could just create it within a day and get a loan out against it.
Yeah, bro.
It's the art, the master of art.
Yeah.
So now that you're getting all this money, all this attraction, like, what's that lifestyle been?
Man, I mean, I feel like me,
I just upgraded my lifestyle, but me personally, I never changed like inside of me because I came from nothing.
nothing.
Wow.
And I'll always remain humble, like grew up dirt poor.
My parents moved from Nigeria, like
slept in a studio apartment.
My mom had eight kids.
All eight of us were sleeping in one studio apartment.
So like, that's what really made me who I am today.
I feel like poverty created my drive and my hustle and the fire inside me.
So I will always remain humble.
I just from coming from poverty, like I always wanted to have things.
So I treated myself to a brand new house, my cars and all that stuff like that, just to experience that lifestyle.
Right.
Do you still talk to all your brothers?
Yeah, yeah, every day.
Yeah.
Wow, seven siblings.
That's a lot.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, I'm an only child, so that's a whole different lifestyle.
Wow.
Yeah.
But growing up in poverty must have really motivated you to want more.
Yeah, bro.
Made me hungry.
They've done studies on this, man.
Like, it's actually a benefit.
to grow up kind of poor.
Yeah, I heard about that.
It's nuts.
Like if you look at the data, like people that grow up with money, they don't usually end up as successful.
Yeah, because they're like, oh, I know, I'm going to be good.
So it's like, but if you don't grow up with anything, you're like, you have nothing to lose.
So it's just like, you go all in for everything.
Absolutely.
What's the most expensive car you've painted?
It was either the SF90 Ferrari or
SBJ Lamborghini.
They were both about around $1 million at the time.
I told you.
Oh, crap.
Yeah.
Million dollars.
What if you like mess up?
People always say that, but the thing is, it's like, art is not even perfect.
So there's no mess-ups.
Right.
Like, it's just, it comes out how it's supposed to be.
interesting yeah because i'm just throwing the paint on the car so so you literally
bucket of paint yeah you're just dumping it like yeah like i put it in a cup i have a certain cup i call it the magic cup and i just throw the paint and then like and then the way i throw it it does a certain technique of splatter and it creates like different types of techniques of splatter when i throw it now when you paint a car does it increase the value of the car yeah yeah yeah it actually does because one of my friends i painted his rose royce and he just sold it for an extra a hundred thousand dollars no way yeah because my art was on there.
Dude,
if you were smart, you would just paint a few cars right now, hold them for like five years.
That's what people are doing.
That's what 6ix9ine is doing.
He doesn't even drive the cars.
He's just
keeping them cars.
Wow.
So he's still got money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's some rumors that he went broke.
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Damn.
Yeah.
Are you into watches?
I know you mentioned Neil earlier.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love watches.
I love it.
I have five.
I want more.
Yeah, AP.
Very addicting.
AP is my favorite watch.
Shame.
Yeah.
Yeah, AP, and then probably Rolex.
I don't buy the Millie hype, dude.
Yeah, the Millie.
Yeah, the Millis are cool.
I don't like the strap.
Yeah, it's kind of like a toy.
Yeah.
What else are you spending money on?
Honestly, like.

Just like traveling, that's where all my money goes.
Like, I go to Dubai all the time.
I'm in Tokyo.
Like, we're on tour right now.
We just go to New York.
Now we're in Vegas, Miami, LA.
We're going to LA on Sunday.
Like, just traveling and then spending money traveling.
That's really where all the money goes to.
I think that's one of the best ways to spend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like, of course, I have investments as well.
What kind of stuff you investing in?
I just bought a property in Atlanta.
Yeah, that.
I invested in this one tequila company in Miami right now.
So, yeah, I got a couple of best.
And mostly I just invest in myself because I believe like I am my best asset.
Absolutely, man.
I really feel like you're going to be top five all time.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
And I have a good sense of like seeing, seeing winners, dude.
Yeah.
I appreciate that.
I think that's why the podcast has done well because I could spot people and be like, yeah, he's going to blow up.
Yeah, people say that all the time.
Is it true?
Kim Kardashian hit you up?
Yeah, bro.
Bro.
What was that like?
Yeah.
I mean, bro, I was in New York and in my hotel bed, and I'm just going through my DMs and I'm like, yo, it's Kim Kardashian.
I'm thinking of this fake page, though.
My message requests for Kim Kardashian.
I'm like, it's verified.
300 million follow up.
Like, what the
she wants me to paint her Lamborghini.
Did you paint it?
Not yet.
Yeah, we're in the works with it.
I'm speaking with her management and stuff like that.
How did she find out about you?
Bro, honestly, I don't even know.
Bro, like, it just happened.
Like, people just be DMing me out of nowhere, bro.
Like, just out of nowhere.
That's so cool.
Finding me.
Has anyone tried to mimic or copy your style?
Actually, no, I haven't seen it because it's new, right?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, right now, I'm one of one, so like, if somebody copies me, they're gonna know, yo, you copied Artlanda.
Yeah, so it's like, nobody's really doing what I'm doing.
Wow.
Have you done any Ferraris yet?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've done a Ferrari SF90, the Ferrari is the SF90.
Yeah.
What's been your favorite one, like, just that you did that you really liked?
So hard because I have multiple favorites.
Like, like, the Brabus G-Wagon I did for 6ix9ine.
That's one of my favorites.
Rolls-Royce Cullen, I did for one of my my boys, Keo.
The SVJ
Lamborghini I did for 6ix9ine.
Bro, it's just, it's so many.
I have like over 60 cars that I painted.
Wow.
So you've probably done like every color at this point.
Yeah, bro.
So it's like, it's crazy, bro.
Yeah.
And this is since last December.
It hasn't even been a year.
It's been 11 months since I started painting the cars.
Damn, you did 60 cars in a year?
Yeah.
How long does each one take?
Like 30 minutes.
Oh, that's it?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought it was like a full day thing.
Nah.
I mean, it takes like an hour to prep, like tape up the lights and the windows and stuff, but the painting is only like 30 minutes to paint it.
So you're making 20k an hour.
Yeah.
Must be nice.
Yeah, bro.
It's crazy.
I created my own lane and like nobody's doing this.
Wow.
You know what I'm saying?
So what's your advice to aspiring artists to kind of just find their own lane, basically?
Yeah, like find
your lane and be yourself.
You know what I'm saying?
Don't look at other artists and try to copy.
Try to create your own image, create your own brand so people can gravitate towards that.
And it's organic.
You know what I'm saying?
Because people can tell if you're faking it or you're copying or you're organic.
You know what I'm saying?
So people can like read that energy.
So if you're organic to yourself, to your brand, to who you truly are and it aligns with your vision, I feel like you can be successful.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And that goes with anything in life.
Yeah, anything.
Yeah, it's with anything in life.
Yeah, I mean, look at you, man.
You did art your whole life and people just see the past year or two.
Exactly, bro.
Like it takes time.
People want to get successful in like a month.
Yeah, they do.
It takes time.
It does.
It just takes time and dedication and focus.
Like, if you cut out all the distraction in your life, I feel like you can achieve anything in this world.
I believe anything and everything is possible.
Absolutely.
So, like, cut out the distractions.
Keep great people around you.
If you have greatness around you, then you will be great.
If you have losers around you, you're going to be a loser.
It's really that simple, but people don't like doing simple because some people are just lazy.
They're on the phone all day.
They don't want to do.
Yeah.
It's so simple.
You know what I'm saying?
People overthink it.
Yeah, it's not rocket science.
It's not.
It really isn't.
So did you even go to art school in college?
No, I didn't even go to.
I dropped out of high high school.
Of high school?
Yeah.
Wow.
Dropped out of 12th.
I could have graduated.
That's the crazy thing.
I dropped out of 12th grade because I was like, I don't want to go to college and waste my time.
I wanted to go chase my dreams.
And that's what I did.
I just left Atlanta and went to LA.
Like, I was homeless, didn't know a soul in LA.
I just left.
Went to LA, slept in IHOP, sleeping on the street, just hustling, grinding, grinding until I made a name for myself.
Holy crap.
Yeah, bro.
Dude, what a story.
So you didn't even come to LA with like an apartment or anything?
Nothing.
Wow.
And that was the plan?
Just to...
Yeah, bro.
I just believed.
I just, I had so much faith that I was going to be a star.
And I just left.
And I was like, yo, I have nothing to lose.
I just left and went to LA.
That's insane.
And what was that like mentally on you being homeless, sir?
I mean, I mean, at first, it was kind of hard until like I started to see like people, when people met me when I was homeless, they didn't even realize I was homeless.
They thought like, oh, I had money and shit like that.
But I was broke.
You know what I'm saying?
I was homeless and shit.
So, but that kept me going.
You know what I'm saying?
That kept my faith going.
Like, okay, people are believing in me yeah so that's what really um helped me uh go through that damn so how long were you in that phase before you got some shelter um like two years two years yeah dude yeah then i'll start meet people then i'll start couch surfing sleeping here my homie's couch here then my homie's couch there for like a year and then yeah most people would have given up yeah bro i couldn't give up because i believe like you got to keep going that momentum you stop like if you see a rocket like a rocket takes off it doesn't stop in the middle of the air it keeps going So you got to just keep going.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
You really had that belief, man.
Yeah.
Early on.
Yeah, bro.
And you didn't want to come back home like kind of ashamed.
Yeah, hell no.
I was not going to, not going to go home.
I feel that.
So did your parents support this?
Yeah, I mean, my mom, because I lost my father when I was five years old.
So I didn't really grow up with a father, but my mom always supported me.
She always knew when I was born, she bought a sign that said a star was born.
So she always knew that I was going to be a star.
You know what I'm saying?
That's incredible, man.
Yeah.
Damn.
What do your other siblings do?
I have a little brother.
He makes music.
One of my older brothers is the actor.
My other brother has a successful clothing brand.
Wow.
Some of my other brothers are like a real estate.
They're all entrepreneurs.
Yeah, they're over.
Everybody's an entrepreneur.
That's cool, man.
That means you had a good environment.
Yeah, bro.
Growing up.
That's cool.
Are you still doing the canvases?
Yeah, I still do canvas, but I'm doing less canvas now because I don't need to do a lot of canvas anymore because now my clientele is like high-value networked people and like and my art is expensive.
You know what I'm saying?
Not everybody can afford the art.
So I sell less art, but I make more money now selling art.
So
you just sold out your art Basil event like a few minutes ago.
Yeah, bro.
It's like 1,600 tickets right now.
Holy crap.
And that's just me.
Wow.
That's no marketing agency, no labels, no ad, no paid ads, no nothing.
Just me.
Just, yo, I'm going to be here, Art Basil, and then boom.
Some people spend months trying to sell out their basil events, yeah, bro.
And then my shit is like going crazy.
You might have to have two now.
I know, and I had to get a bigger venue.
So at first, the cap was a thousand, and then we maxed out a thousand so quick, I got a bigger venue.
Now it's two thousand, but right now, I'm at like 1600 tickets.
I'm gonna check it right now.
That's nuts, dude.
I'm at like when I checked, it said sold out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I added, I had to get a new venue and I added more tickets.
Wow, and how much was each ticket?
Uh, so there's like uh tiers, it's like general missions, twenty dollars, VIP is um
uh
100 250 oh yeah 250 vip wow yeah
1601 tickets holy crap yeah bro that's nuts man and that's just one post that's just bro one post it's on my page one time dude so what i can't even do the math but
yeah yeah it's crazy bro man so what's the uh the plan there you're gonna paint a car live basically yeah yeah i'm gonna paint a rolls royce colin and then auction it live yeah i'm gonna auction it have you done an auction yet not yet not yet those are crazy i heard yeah i heard into some charity ones people like uh to bid pretty high on those
yeah it is bro but no once i get in the auction space it's over yeah
dude yeah some of those auctions are sotheby's i think yeah sotheby's gonna like create like 100 million yeah it's just like insane what's the process to get on there I mean, it's all about who you know, I believe.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I can meet somebody at Sotheby's tomorrow and they'll be like, okay, bring one of the cars there.
We're going to auction it out.
Wow.
I feel like it's that simple.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not no full whole process.
You just got to know somebody.
And if they like you, they will help you.
You know what I'm saying?
Life's all about who you know.
Yeah, it's all about who you know.
And people try to focus on other shit.
Yeah, bro.
It's like focus on your network and your value.
Yeah, your network is your net worth.
You know that 100%.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
How do you choose the people around you?
I'm sure you get a lot of people trying to leech off your energy.
Yeah, I mean, I just, because my circle is so tight, I mean.
The people that I keep around me is my team, like my Art Beast team,
my manager, my CMO,
and like my videographer.
like that's just
all the people I hang out with every day because we're always working on the goal, you know what I'm saying?
So we're not distracted.
We're not, oh, let's go party, let's go do this and that.
We're like, let's focus on the vision, let's build, let's do that every day, every day.
So that's how I keep myself focused.
But if you have people around you that support you, but they want to go out and party and they want to, but they're your friends, but they can be a distraction to you.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, you got to be careful and you got to separate friends with business kind of.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, and Atlanta and Miami are big party scenes, so you got to stay disciplined and lost.
Exactly, bro.
Do you go out a lot?
Nah, because I moved out of the city.
I used to live in Brickwood, but I just got a house in Miami Lake.
So now I live in a house and it's like 30 minutes away from the city.
So I don't go out.
It gives me an excuse.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, you could get lost in the sauce in Miami, man.
I know people that pretty much give their souls away out there.
Bro, for real, bro.
It's serious out there.
No, they literally look like zombies because they're in the club till 6 a.m.
6 a.m.
Like Space Doesn't go.
You know, but, bro, 11 a.m in the club I'm like what the
they're at 11 at 11 a.m
I'm like hell no if I don't get my sleep in I'm pissed the next day you need that sleep for sure yeah but I like your work ethic man so do you even drink or do anything I mean I don't drink a lot but um I drink sometimes yeah I don't smoke weed though yeah I gave up weed yeah I stopped smoking weed like four years ago same dude it I mean, I don't know.
I feel like there's more cons than pros.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, especially like the next day just kind of rubs over.
I know, and you're like, oh, like, lazy.
You just chill and like don't care about shit.
I feel like that's what weed is.
It just makes you relax and just don't care about anything.
It's like La La Land.
Yeah.
You like Miami better than Atlanta?
Yeah, way better.
Miami's the best city in America.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I lived in LA too for six years and Miami's way better.
I've only only been there for a year and eight months now.
Damn.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, that's a statement right there.
I feel like LA is, people choose LA over Miami, but.
I don't know.
I feel like LA is soulless.
There's parts of it that are for sure.
Have you been to any weird parties out there?
Yeah, it's just weird out there, bro.
LA is weird.
There's some weird party stores out there.
Some weird shit.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, I hope not to encounter any of those people.
Yeah, just stay, stay with your circle.
But when you reach a certain level, they kind of approach you.
I know.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
It's probably going to happen to you.
With your influence, man, I wouldn't be surprised.
I know, bro.
Yeah.
So what's next for you and where can people find you, man?
Man, what's next?
So, yeah, like we said, December 8th, I'm having my Art Basel event.
It's going to be crazy.
I'm building my art label right now as we speak.
You know how music labels, they sign artists, but I'm doing that with painters.
Like I'm signing painters to the label, giving them a platform to expose their art and teaching them how to sell their art.
You know what I'm saying?
Building the brand.
That's what I'm building right now.
I'm working on building my own art car museum.
So I'm going to have a museum in Miami full of like all the cars that I did.
People can like come through, buy tickets, take pictures of the cars and shit like that.
Oh, that's sick.
You're working on a lot, man.
Yeah,
a whole bunch of other stuff that I'm working on.
Yeah, I can't wait to keep an eye on it.
I know you're going to crusher, man.
Next time I see you, you'll probably be a billionaire.
Hell yeah.
Let's do it, man.
