MikeDaJit says growing up on Anaheim's Beach and Ball made street life feel normal

A vertical clip under the headline "Growing up on Beach & Ball in Orange County." The top half shows four men at the Juice Unlocked podcast desk in front of the outlet's neon signs, laughing as the conversation goes. The bottom half shows a street-side photo of four women walking along a wide boulevard at dusk. In the audio, MikeDaJit is asked whether he saw a lot of sex workers growing up there, and he talks about how normal it was, a childhood counting game and the slang for it.

Anaheim rapper MikeDaJit (@mikedajit) says the street scene around Beach and Ball was just part of growing up. In a clip from the Juice Unlocked podcast, posted Saturday, May 16, 2026, he was asked whether he saw a lot of sex workers growing up there. His answer: his whole life.

"That's just been for me normal," he said, adding that he also grew up around "tweakers." The post was tagged to Beach and Ball, the area where Beach Boulevard meets Ball Road.

What he said

MikeDaJit described it as something anyone from the area would recognize. "Anybody grows up right there, you're gonna see them, you know what I mean," he said.

He also brought up a game from his childhood: counting the women working the street while driving down it. The table then got into slang, calling "hookers" the old name and "304s" the newer one.

The clip closes with a shout-out to "my 304s out there" and the view that what people do with their bodies is up to them.

“That's just been for me normal.”
