The Bay Area legend opens up about the beautiful chaos of fatherhood, the responsibility of community leadership, and the transformative power of perseverance.With remarkable candor, Mall shares fascinating insights into Vallejo folklore, including his chilling revelation about likely crossing paths with the infamous Zodiac Killer who called the same small city home. This conversation evolves into a powerful discussion about addressing community violence through positive action rather than empty words. "Words without opportunity is just wasteful," Mall emphasizes, explaining how true leadership means creating paths forward for younger generations.The conversation takes a deeply spiritual turn as Mall recounts surviving a shooting that claimed his friend's life. "I don't believe in God, I know God," he declares, distinguishing between faith as concept versus lived experience. This profound gratitude shapes his approach to both music and mentorship. Hip-hop historians will appreciate Mall's breakdown of how Bay Area slang terms "Yee" and "Cuddy" originated and spread globally through the influence of artists like Mac Dre.Looking toward the future, Mall discusses his upcoming book "Fizz or Die," his commitment to never selling his masters ("that's my generational wealth"), and his evolution as a performer now working with live bands at historic venues. From a child with a severe stutter to a respected voice in hip-hop, Mall's journey exemplifies the transformative power of dedication, community support, and divine protection.
