Dylan: I'm doing pretty good I'm tired

Adam: Let me move this a little closer to your face

Dylan: I'm doing pretty good I'm tired!

Adam: hahaha so I've had a shit load of people uh requesting me to get you on the podcast over the past couple months so it's uh very very very nice to finally get you in here. What brings you uh down to Los Angeles?

Dylan: I had a show with Blaze Ya Dead Homie last night.

Adam: And how was that?

Dylan: It was good.

Adam: Yeah?

Dylan: Yeah it was a mile stone

Adam: Because this was your first interaction performance wise with the juggalo scene?

Dylan: With the Juggalo community in general. I did uh, when I first started out doing shows seventeen and eighteen like back in Ohio. Uh. there would always be like a lot of juggalos and shit due to the region. But uh yeah this is my first show like actually fucking with the juggalos

Adam: Right and so..
Dylan: And uh its one of my childhood heroes

Adam: Blaze?

Dylan: for seventeen years yeah

Adam: Right. Damn so uh how did you first? So lets go back to Ohio. What kind of area did you grow up in? What was the town?

Dylan: I grew up um about forty minutes outside of Cleveland like on the west side in the country and then around 10 my parents bought a house in a Northwest Ohio so I moved I lived about forty minutes from like Cedar Point, Sandusky. The 4-1-9. So I had like two very different, drastic Ohio's.

Adam: Two different Ohio's okay yeah. So what kind of kid were you?

Dylan: A really fucked up kid that stayed inside because I was only in public school for two years and my brain didn't work like other people. So my Mom took me out of school and I was home schooled for most of my life

Adam: Were you diagnosed at a young age with anything in particular?

Dylan: Yeah a lot of things

Adam: Yeah, what just uh

Dylan: Just like mental things y'know like Autism. So thats why I'm so good at rapping.

Adam: So you were never able to function in a school environment?

Dylan: No, fuck no
Adam: No? Not at all. Were you like acting out like getting in trouble, fighting, anything like that?

Dylan: I didn't fight I mean I got in like one physical altercation that I remember
but it was mostly like I didn't understand why I had to do things that I didn't wanna do
and I didn't understand why I wasn't allowed to call the teacher by her first name
and I would like question the typos and shit like that so it just caused too many problems
Too many problems with authority

Adam:

just kind of lacking that comprehension of like why you should respect this person's opinion

I never really had that as a young kid like it never made sense to me as to like why I should have this unwavering respect for authority figures y'know

Oh yeah definitely

over time I was able to take charge and like plan my curriculum

So you had traditional parents

So but they just understood what the had to do

and be able to function as an adult

When did you start to get interested in music
They were similarly into playing instruments

I have like kind of young Generation X parents

I had a goth dad

he had a fashiopn degree and everything

My dad was like a Carhartt wearing

Clutch and Helmet, Hardcore MadBall Dad

he exposed me to like Skinny Puppy and

but he had a fashion degree

subculture kid

Which is what I'm just

When he fell in love with my mom he just uh got his shit together

is that they
