Drexthejoint is tired of people calling JAR a crew: 'Tell the big homies'

A roughly 30-second sit-down interview. Drexthejoint, in a black tee and an iced-out "DREX" chain, talks from an armchair in front of a plain gray backdrop, with the edit cutting between close-ups and wide shots that show a host in a cap and sunglasses listening from a second chair. He says people keep calling JAR a crew and tells them to take it up with "the big homies." A banner on screen reads "Drexthejoint speaks on JAR becoming a HOOD."

Drexthejoint is tired of hearing people call JAR a crew. In an interview clip Juice Unlocked posted July 2, 2025, the rapper pushed back on that label and told critics to bring it to "the big homies" instead of him.

"A lot of people try to tell us, oh, we're a crew," he said. His answer: "Don't tell me that, tell the big homies."

What he said

The on-screen banner framed the clip as Drexthejoint speaking "on JAR becoming a HOOD." He did not explain what JAR stands for or how it started, and the post did not say either.

Partway through, he made a point about consequences. He said he was not going to talk about "these politicians," but that "one thing you cannot do" is put a threshold on something "without consequences."

“A lot of people try to tell us, oh, we're a crew.”

Drexthejoint was already a big name on Juice Unlocked's radar. A month earlier, on June 2, 2025, the outlet's all-time ranking of the top 50 Orange County rappers put him at No. 6.

The post was tagged in Santa Ana and shared as a collaboration with @allfacts.podcast and @podcastfoocommunity, the account tagged in the caption.
