"are you trying to get on your din?"
1). What is the meaning here of "are you trying to get on your din"? Can anybody tell me, please?
2). And can you give fee more examples with "he's on his grind"? The meaning, I guess, is "he has to work for a living". Right?

- Nah, he's just on his grind, man. I hooked him up with my old job at the warehouse.
- You should look for better job.
- Ren, don't care - job's a job.
- Hey, what's with you and Faisal now? What, are you trying to get on your din?
- Bruv, he just hopped up to me, asking for help. I couldn't turn him down, man.
