This is the definition of what we call a “Veterano” he’s been there and about that but has learned and speaks humbly. Not flashy just real

Shoutout from the BAYAREA

U can tell this brother is 100% his energy is str8 too. Wish this dude a very successful career. Great interview adam salute to both of yall

Pretty dope interview.. I like interviews like this when the person is actually talkative.. kinda hate when ppl come on to get interviewed and they don't even care to talk or answer with short word replies or just be too high to talk

More 🇲🇽on no jumper appreciate you Adam👏🙌

Damn this is truly a great interview man, props. I thought I’d skip after a couple of minutes but I sat through the whole thing soaking it all in. Real shit!

Adam got a real L.A gangsta on his show now! Not that lil xan shit eSe

This was a great interview that showed you def can’t judge a book by its cover cause this dude seemed like a really solid good human. Plus thank you for turning me on to a dope ass artist to add to my play list.

If you look closely the tattoo has a man behind it.

Crazy how someone so dangerous can be so humble and respectful.. he's the definition of a real gangster.. you show respect you get respect.. these new school kids need to learn from this because they've gotten outta hand.. gangs are all about "kill everybody" type shit. You gotta better your community 💯

A damn you have to get CONEJO on no jumper he is well known by almost everyone in LA I PROMISE

One of your best interviews for real Adam, keep releasing stuff like this. We don't care about people's fancy cars and lifestyles, we want real people like this.

Adam 22 You’re Invited To The Kick Back Ese ..

This dudes really soft spoken and is covered in art from head to toe, some of it earned and given from the big home boys in the back. In other words this dudes been there and done that and is a real G.

Baldacci is such a down to earth guy his humbleness is so admirable

This is how real Gs carry themselves like gentlemen not a bunch of skinny Jean wearin tough talkin junkies

This is why no jumper has its own lawn not like Vlad and these others, NoJumper for the streetz the slums the culture. 1Hund0

My boy Pelón I never thought the homie would be out here doing it like he is but I knew he was special just didn’t know how

Good interview 💯💯💯

Hes from florence 13. Those guys dont fuck around

The face of LA literally

He said his birthday was February 13. Damn he was born to b F13 bet his pops tripped on that.

Baldacci your jefe looking down smiling and proud of you eSe.

I don’t know much about this guy other than this interview. But here is what I was able to see: This guy is a really smart individual. He is definitely not a dumb human being. And I also feel a positive and charismatic aurora comes from him. I hope he has really got his life on the straight and narrow. Because he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders. I could just have a cool conversation with him about shit. And feel comfortable, regardless of the tattoos and look. 💯💯💯💯

This foo Adam keep interrupting a Florenciano. Let the man tell his hood storys .

Straight fire bro Adam thanks for supporting the Chicanos out there being open to do an interview that’s awesome bro really opening doors Baldacci the Beast

Adam needs to get a young dopey interview

Cool interview I dig the mexican culture stand up people

Ur telling me his bday is the same as his varrio ? F13 February 13 ? thas fucken dope 😂

I was a Norteno in Wichita, Kansas. During my falling out with them I met a Florencia 13 Member named sir youngster. (Same name as me) he was one of the coolest cats I ever met. Shout to them.

What a crazy coincidence he is from Florence 13 and his birthday is February 13

Damn Adam is for the Culture bro thank mane!!!! For branchin outt!!🕸🕸🐍🐍🤝✊🏽

I’m not saying first impressions are always right, but I’m willing to bet this dude has a few bodies under his belt

Adam is reaching out and putting raza on the map . He’s invited to the quinceañera and Carne asada 💪🏼

I grew up in La Jolla California to old money. I'm not going to look down on this man because he was raised in the opposite environment. He has found a way to ( I'm not even going to call it overcoming adversity) become the best person he can be. Isn't that all any of us can hope for?

I remember one of his bars “Packing heat and cracking bones I’m pelon fuck a bitch a got use to being alone Several years of doing time I ain’t tripping on a snake “

Mans been through a lot, didn’t know who he was before the interview but I’m deffo tapping in

My boy Lil Baldy...Much Luv perrito... Baldacci the Beast is a Master in the work... Im very Proud Baldy and myself growing up in the same District..FLORENCE DISTRICT... PUTTING THE HOOD ON THE WORLDMAP 💪🔥👑💯

Converse is a small but active street starting on Florence Ave and ending on Slauson Ave

Yoooo WTF Adam your dad went to jail for a year when you were 12 lmaooo for what????

Baldacci is a real emcee! 🎤 🏆🥇 Bro is a heavyweight with the mic!

What a nice guy, despite his appearance, clearly he is changing his life in a positive way..many wouldn't, so many kids would remain in the criminal lifestyle because they never really stood a chance. I wish him all the best for the future. Also, great interviewer! Sending love from England 🇬🇧🙂

Adam22 definitely fucks with the Ese'z TUFFLY! Much love & respect to you homes!

Out of all the "Gangsters" in the rap game I know for a Fact HE'S A REAL ONE !

He looks like a fine gentleman I would hire him to watch my children

Never heard of this guy. But this interview was mad interesting I couldnt stop listening. 👍

Been rockin' wit this dude since he was known as Pelon!

These guys were notoriously known for decapitating the Crips in South Central LA.

Baldacci and Sad Boy are the 3rd and 4th most interesting No Jumper interviews

Dope he from a very infamous Gang Florencia 13 i believe but dope i hope he continues to win

Baldacci representing F13

Bro besides this dude being the realest cat that I've seen on this show I really hope he blows up considering his age because man would be nice to see someone his age blow up on the scene because I'm sick of these f****** 16 and 17-year-olds getting famous off to talk and making millions after 3 months of rapping does anyone stay with me on that? Plus this dude's hella f****** smart and after I listen to over half this podcast homie is hella smart and extremely extremely wise and genuine. I wish the best for this dude and guess what LOL? I don't know any of his songs right now I just clicked this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shout out to Bullet from Florencia X3 Homie from back in the day middle school and high school. 🇲🇽 SUR TRECE

This was a hard interview respect outta 🤘TX 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Still remember that lil baldy cd 💿 back in 06 before it was uploaded all over RU-vid

What a nice dude. His voice pretty much just mesmerized me. Just fell in love 💯

Just started listening to his music. His shit is fire! Especially that song Sideways! He definitely has a future!

This is a really good interview. Big respect to Baldacci.

Thats the homie his sis and brother in law were my neighbors, i lived next door my brother is from Florence too from the GEEZ. Same click. Thats crazy I once had him sign my toy car and cd his sister gave me a pic of him before he even had tattoos he was locked up

About time Baldacci gets recognized, my dude can outrap anyone of these top 10 rappers nowadays

Idk Who Oh Buddy Is But I Fucc Wit His Vibe Tho!

That right Adam real one right there!!! That my boy frm f13 true. Blue soldier

Yo you guys need to interview Skinhead Rob, not sure if he would but that one is needed.

Saw him on LA Originals and Bourdain, seems like a real cool dude

Adam once again gracias for putting our people on nd seeing us out here.

Bro I ain’t never knew this was lil baldy and I been bumping hist shit since 2010

Another fool put on the pedestal....let this mishap decay in the shadows?! Wtf you put him up on here for?!? No Jumper/Clout chaser.

Baldacci a real 1 💯 humble dude Much Respect keep doing your thing Homie

No jumper showing love to the brown community Thats dope

Always watched no jumper. But I gotta say watching you interview my raza makes me support you even more

Adam fuck with the Latinos heavy s/o Adam

Seems like a solid and well rounded guy. Much respect. This shows how much inequality there is especially in America bc he could be high class successful if he was born elsewhere. I'm blessed to not be from the hood and I know it, and I salute those like him that don't give up and stay driven and hopeful and even those who struggle. That environment is unimaginably tough. Happy 2022 God bless.

All I'm going to say is face and head tattoo are not suited for everyone.. Seems like a niceguy though, genuine energy.

Ohgeesys dad

The only man on earth who can make sipping a Starbucks ice coffee look Hard

U really can't judge a book by its cover. He talks like he has a PHD but this was a gud ass interview
