Wassup World.

This is your boy YP

Mr. Certify Yo Hustle himself.

And I'm about to let you out
and into my world.

So fasten your seatbelt. Come on in.

Let's get started, baby.

What's up, world?

We live in Bali, and I'm about to give you
all the background of my life

because nobody really know who's behind
the Shot series and who YP really is.

So I'm going to give it to y'all
exclusively right here in Bali.

Certifyu films, let's go.

The shot series.

Shot series is a super new dope show.

I actually call it
the Urban Law and Order because

This unlimited shows,
unlimited stories that we can tell.

It's true stories
from victims of gun violence.

They live to tell a horrific story
and survive it.

So we interview them kind of like
in a setting like this interview and get a

true story of the day of them being shot
and two of them being in the hospital bed.

So we shoot the day they wake up because
people have been victims of gun violence.

I found out that they remember that day
to the tea from the time they woke up,

from what they ate and everything,

so we could show things
maybe that you can change or be

cautious about in different situations.

You can have a kind of hindsight on things
and bring awareness to the major

problem that we have in America
and around the world.

And that’s gun.

The inspiration for the Shot series was

so many friends and family members
have been victims of gun violence.

And when we get together
almost at every family event

or a gathering,
someone's always speaking about being shot

or who was shot or and they always go
into details of these stories.

And me being a creative mind,
I'm always thinking big and above.

And I heard so many stories just like,
you know what?

Maybe I need to bring it to life
because I am a film freak, you know?

I mean, I watched so many films
and all of those those type stories

and like the Law and Order
and and the first 48 and things like that.

True stories that bring awareness
to many things in this world.

Say the slogan. I don’t know what it is?

Certified yo hustle!

You can stream the shot series

on Tubi, Lookhu, EmBlaze
hopefully Hulu real soon.

We kind of doing a negotiation
right now so hopefully Hulu pick it up

y'all need to

because if you don't HBO Max is gonna get it
and then you're going to lose out

You know how HBO, I mean how Blockbusters
lost out with Netflix and all that.

So don't lose out on this one
because it's going to be big.

All you got to do is like, share, comment,
leave a review.

We watching you. Certify Yo Hustle baby.

My childhood was kind of rough.

25 of us

in a four bedroom for about 1500 square
foot house.

We had boys room well,
it was called the Boys Room because of ten

young boys in one room,
like we had two bunk beds

and we had a coach on the side
and a pallet in the middle,

but we all stay there and it was hard,

but I wouldn't change it for the world, you know
what I mean cause it made me who I am today.

I love it. You know what I mean.

and just being in that home,
even though it was a home of love,

it was still drug usage in the house.

Alcoholic. Alcoholism.

It was a domestic problems.

It was it was just crazy. Crazy.

And then the drugs came.

We started selling drugs.

Then the jail came
and the prison came.

And then from there it was just
I had to change something.

I couldn't do it anymore. Plus,
I wanted a better life.

What I really want to do it
is to changed my life.

Got out, what, 2011

Got out and I opened up my clothing store.

Where do have the clothing store
Certify Avenue Boutique.

That's in Las Vegas.

I also I was selling
the certified hustle brand out of a fleet

like kind of like a swapmeet, per say.

and from there

I opened up my own brick and mortar
and it's taken off pretty big right now.

So you got your brand going
and you rock and roll it.

This is the spot for you
to pull up on a weekend, tell

you crowd to come over here and get Joe
merchandise right here on Certified Avenue.

Check us out.

I used to do music and

and I opened up my own clothing store
but it kind of the clothing store.

The story is before that
because I develop a music group.

called Eternal Clip.

It was a member of five of us

Dawn Riley

Rest in peace.

My best friend, he died in a car accident.

We traveled the world.

We got features with too short.

We have features with three time
crazy major producers

on our album and everything.

Music is my passion.

That's really where I come from.

Yeah, I did music for like 13 years, so

I'm all into the music world
as far as production and

all little things like that.

And but it just never turned over to being
that big stardom that I really wanted.

So I kind of backed off of the music.

Wasup, this is your boy YP

Alchoholic representing that
Certified Hustle to the fullest.

You know what I am saying.
Better bust your heads

-with this new Certify...
-It just didn't work out for me.

Like I said before,
I probably should have put a little bit

more certified hustler into it,
but I wanted to chase other dreams

and started the clothing brand,
which is Certified Hustler.

Check out the website to and from there.

Everybody used to come to our shows
and love our T-shirts.

Certified Hustle, actually just like this.

“CH”, certified hustler on a t shirts.

And I think I sold about 1000 to 2000.
When I was going to show the stuff.

So I was like, You know what?

Let me

open up my own store
and sell my own clothes, shirts, shoes.

I mean, not shoes, the shirts,

sweatsuits, t shirts, garment,
even female clothing.

And from the first year
I made probably about 30 grand.

It's not a lot of money,
but having your own business.
