Pistol Po Talks Leaving The Streets, Independent Grind, Chicago Women & His Music Journey
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Pistol P opens the conversation by reflecting on his recent move from Chicago to New York, admitting that while he enjoys big cities and has received love there, the constant work schedule in New York is exhausting him compared to life back home. A lifelong rapper born and raised on Chicago's East Side, Pistol P explains that music was always his passion rather than a backup plan for sports or other careers; he started rapping as early as high school using low-budget studio time just to play around without taking it seriously until friends outside his circle validated his talent. This external encouragement eventually pushed him to take the craft more professionally, leading to a period where daily hustling and life responsibilities slowed down his music output before he recently locked in with viral freestyles that garnered significant attention from industry figures like Snap Dogg.
Despite the surge in popularity and engagement from female fans who connect deeply with his lyrics about money and hustle rather than traditional sad ballads, Pistol P remains independent and cautious about signing a major record deal until his numbers truly reflect massive success. He discusses the evolution of his sound, noting that while some listeners perceive a Detroit influence due to specific bass lines and themes in his music, he maintains an aggressive yet soft persona in real life by preferring "bad" but gentle women over aggressive types. Currently working on an album tentatively titled *Sign Myself*, which is scheduled for release this summer alongside singles like the recently dropped freestyle track *Freeloski*, he emphasizes that while major deals have changed, artists can still succeed through digital distribution and self-investment if they are willing to put in the necessary financial effort.
The interview concludes with Pistol P offering advice to aspiring artists about balancing their hustle with creative output, warning against letting life-changing opportunities distract from consistent work until traction is fully established. He shares his dream collaborations for 2026, naming Foxy Brown and Rod Wave as current priorities while also expressing a desire to work with Skilla Baby due to shared musical styles involving car freestyles. Throughout the discussion, he advocates for artists reaching out directly to one another rather than waiting for invitations, highlighting that many successful partnerships happen simply because someone takes the initiative to comment or message first. Ultimately, Pistol P remains focused on building his own empire through hard work and strategic independence while keeping his fans engaged with a steady stream of music from both Chicago and New York.

music?
>> I think it could be pressure, but it
don't be pressure though, because
Like the first couple ones that went
viral was just me just doing what I
regularly be doing. So, if I look at it
like that, like
it ain't no overly pressure to top that
one, cuz like [ __ ] y'all liked it that

all the [ __ ] Oh so you just that
confident that they going to like all
that [ __ ]

hit a certain or when certain people
tapped in or what was it?

of breakups combined in one but it
wasn't about one specific girl though.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Are are like do you feel like ladies
aren't expecting that from you like to
hear about them in your music? Do you
feel like you get a lot of cuz it seem
like you get a lot of lady engagement.
>> a lot of I got a lot of
a lot of girl following cuz I think
when when when people be trying to make
songs for girls, they they kind of go
with the regular slow I love you songs,
right? But
the songs that I got for girls is pretty
much me just doing me,
but I might like use the girl lingo. I
might talk about makeup and [ __ ] like
that. You know what I'm saying? And it's
they can relate to it, too. You feel me?
>> Yeah.
>> So, it's like [ __ ] will play it, girls
will play it.
>> Yeah, how many girls want to feel like
we getting money too with y'all?
>> Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Girls be
big dogs, too.
>> Type [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> So, that's that's the that's what you're
kind of going for, for real. You don't
want to go for the like the sad
sad
>> Nah, cuz I ain't no I ain't I don't I'm
not a singing ass [ __ ] You feel me?
>> You tried to sing it?
>> Nah, I never tried.
But, you know, like
the whole harmony thing, that ain't just
ain't my thing, so
I just try to relate to everybody.
>> Relate to everybody. Okay.
>> Or make [ __ ] that everybody can relate
to. That's a better way to say it.
>> Okay. So, being that you
don't
trap no more, do you feel like you
struggle with making those type of
songs? Or do you feel like you've been
experienced enough to where like you got
creative
>> I got enough experience. Yeah, I've been
doing this [ __ ] so long.
Second nature.
>> So, for the people that's like kind of
struggling trying to like make that
choice to lock in on music and
doing what they doing, whatever, what
advice would you give to them?
>> [ __ ] man.
>> Do you have any advice for them or
something?
>> doing what you doing, man, until you
start seeing some real changes.
You get them when you start getting them
phone calls, these life-changing phone
calls, then I'll say
man, wrap that [ __ ] up. Cuz ain't
nothing worse than getting them phone
calls that could change your life and
then you on your way to your play, and
now you got a case. Now you can't go,
you know what I'm saying?
>> Okay, so when you get some life-changing
phone calls
>> I think when you start seeing real
traction,
like real [ __ ] like damn, the [ __ ] that
you sending your homies and them, like
damn, look who commented, or look who
calling.
I think you should probably slow that
[ __ ] down then. Even if the bill the
bills got to get paid though, but
man, [ __ ] you might have to go sleep on
mama couch or something real quick, for
real.
>> Yeah, cuz you know, it takes a little
time for that [ __ ] to turn into money,
so
>> Yeah, for sure.
>> And depending on the type of lifestyle
that you're living already,
you kind of got to like keep up a little
bit.
>> Yeah, you might have to downsize a
little bit too though.
Even if it might be for 6 months, it
might be for a year.
>> I mean, I don't know. I feel like a lot
of artists, I feel like go through those
type of issues though. That's why I kind
of asked. Cuz you're you're you They
said that you unlocked a new method. Did
you say
>> They said I started a new method.
>> Yeah.
I think that. That [ __ ] was funny.
>> How you feel about that?
>> Don't try this [ __ ] at home, bro.
For real. [laughter] Don't try that [ __ ]
at
>> What? So, nobody You don't think that's
a new method unlocked? Cuz keep it buck,
how did you go from car freestyles to
label meetings?
Like, what's the secret?
>> I'll put a threat out today, yes, on
phone now. They was like, "Man, let's
get this guy in here."
But, how many times you think they going
to go for that?
>> Go for what?
>> Sending a threat Putting a threat, yeah,
you know?
>> You put a threat out?
>> Hell yeah. I'll put a warning out. Hey,

>> Right now, I'm just working. I'm just
>> when you made that freestyle, did you
want to sign a deal? And now that you've
been in there, have you changed your
mind a little bit?
>> When I made that freestyle, I was just
trying to get [ __ ] to put their
eyes on me for
You know what I'm saying? So.
I think right now,
I'm still just working, just doing what
I'm doing, until I'm real real real,
you know?
>> Real real what?
>> Until them real real numbers get to
kicking in. When they start kicking them
out there,
flashing them checks in front of me,

like limit you a little bit?

>> He did sign with like Roc Nation or
something.
>> Yeah, and it was like, I'm never signing

that check I was talking about that
changed a [ __ ] mind.

You want to You don't want to be
misleading to your fans. That's all.
>> Yeah, but
man, life be happening too, though. So,
you could say you could say one thing
and really really mean that [ __ ] today.
But next year, [ __ ]
They probably had some [ __ ] that made
sense at the time.

you artists grace as far as like [ __ ]
happens.
>> They don't though. I ain't going to lie,
the fans be hard on [ __ ]
>> be very You have to be a certain way.
>> They put some [ __ ] in them terms that
made sense.
>> Yeah, even though
he probably was sharing and doing it
solo, but yeah.
>> I probably would have kept that [ __ ] to
myself though if I was him, I don't
know.
>> I know, Roc Nation did a big amount of
time.
>> oh, yeah.
>> He signed with Jay-Z, [ __ ]
>> Oh, yeah, I did I see that [ __ ] I see
the blue backyards and all that [ __ ]
>> Yeah, so it's it's a distro deal is
different from like a major deal, but
it's still a deal.
And he was going hard on some like, I'm
>> It's more like a partnership thing.
>> That's what he tried to say. He sounded
like a [ __ ]
>> Like I said, [ __ ] is stalling him out,
man. Stalling him out.
>> I mean, you could do a distro deal, too.
But you're not signed to yourself.
>> Yeah, true. So.
>> You know what I'm saying? So, it's
depends on how you take You might come
up with But, you know, the industry is
changing so much right now. Major deals
ain't even what they used to be no more.
So, a digital deal is kind of like the
best thing to
>> A lot of [ __ ] catching on. I think
that's what it is.
>> A digital deal?
>> Back then, that's why the deals is
different and [ __ ] cuz a lot of [ __ ]
catching on. They ain't
Back then, [ __ ] ain't really know too
much about deals and all that.
>> Yeah.
>> You see what I'm saying? Now that we
done seen what they went through and
[ __ ] now a lot of [ __ ] be like,
"Shit, I could just do this shit." Sign
myself. I could sign myself.
>> And you can.
>> You really can though.
>> Yes, you can. Long as you got the money
to keep that [ __ ] going. How much would
you say you invested in yourself this
far? From when you was 15 to today right
now?
