<v Speaker 3>No, yesterday was my first day and I can feel

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 3>like the sportsmanship in the city of Boston.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna ask that, how does it feel when

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 4>you know there's so many banners here and like the

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.160

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 3>you know what I'm saying.

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Pfg's here right now. You got a new album out

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 4>right now, fully produced by j Cole. Obviously you're getting

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot of new fan base now with this, with

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 4>this tour, with the co sign and stuff like that.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 4>Let's go back back. How did this all come together

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 4>with you too? I know he's really supporting his hometown.

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 4>But I'm sure there's a lot of rappers out there,

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 4>So let's go back to the beginning real quick.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I know you've done this probably one hunred Ti.

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So actually and then my man

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 3>nerve helped me correct this. So I was supposed to

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 3>originally be on the fall Off, the album he recorded

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 3>in Miami. The sequence didn't match up with the record

0:00:58.360 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 3>I was on, So he was like, hey, yo, Man,

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry you didn't make the fall Off, but instead

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:03.959
<v Speaker 3>let's go to New York and knock a whole album out.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 3>So we just went to New York and we not

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>never say die out and like maybe like two days man,

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 3>and it's a classic the rest of the system.

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 4>So talk about that, like, I know, being behind the scenes,

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people do a lot of records all

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 4>the time, you know, and things you're going to get

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 4>to that place or you probably aren't that place where

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 4>you got artists that have jumped on your records, and

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 4>then you're like, I didn't make the cut, right, right, right?

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>So did you? What was that feeling like when you

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the fall off?

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 4>But then before the call that the exchange when it

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 4>didn't make.

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>The fall off to getting in the studio.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 3>With him, genuinely, man, I didn't have no emotion where

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I found no negative energy.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's my brother. Man he always look out

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and he always have positive vibrations.

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 3>So when we build, we just build. So when he

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>told me, I was just like, Nah, that's what's up.

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>He's like, but you know what I mean, I'm like, Yo,

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 3>either way, we rocking.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I know he's been working on the fall Off for years,

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean? So every sound was very

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 3>articulate to him, you know what I'm saying.

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 4>So now when the record doesn't make it at that moment,

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 4>I know people hold on to records for four or

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 4>five years something, right, right, right, So you guys have

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 4>something in the stash that you might go back and

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 4>tweak up.

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I got a couple of them, maybe

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 3>like two or three joints that might have been on

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 3>the album.

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Alls on that that's in the stash, you know.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So now to talk to me as an artist

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 4>that's now with Cole and you're on this big tour,

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 4>what's the what's the pressure or I know you probably

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 4>prepared for your whole life of this, right.

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>But you're straight. You came to Boston, you did the

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>TV Garden.

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, fact facts, facts, facts.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Talk about that, Like we hear when people come to Boston,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 4>you do this room called the Paradise. Actually you do

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Middle East first, then you do Paradise, then you do MGM, yeah,

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 4>and then this and then Gillet.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Like yeah yeah, yeah, yeah right, and now, you know,

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 3>there's definitely a lot of pressure. But when someone like

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Cole you know who, who's deemed as the goat, believing

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 3>you would just take all the pressure off for you,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 3>and it just feels like easy.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sorry, that PFG is in here right now. Actually

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm with them in the studio. Yeah, there's a dressing room.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Did you have to you know, I know when you

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 4>record and you were talking about your your grow up

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 4>and you know the struggles that a lot of rappers

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.239
<v Speaker 4>sometimes go through it, right, how did you get away

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.079
<v Speaker 4>from not choosing that street life because this is a longer.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not the quick money. It's an investment and you

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's gonna pop if.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 2>It's not for sure for sure.

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 4>So how did you how did you focus yourself to

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 4>like I'm gonna go towards this and not get in

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 4>that street life and get get messed up, you know

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 4>what I mean?

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, and you know, to be honest with you.

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I did get into the street life, but I didn't

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>stay rooted in it. You know, I always know in

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 3>the back of my mind that it was a bigger

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 3>purpose for me.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>So you know, the universe wouldn't let.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Me completely just always indulge in it, and you know,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I just stay blessed, stay protected, and I just focused

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 3>on the music. And that's why the name of the

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 3>album is called Never Say Die, and that's why we

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>hear right now.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 4>So Never Say Die? Like, what what brought that up?

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Like you were you going through some stuff that you

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>could have been killed?

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, just a life side.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, you know, cold story, Nerve story, my story,

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Like we all have a story to where we like

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 3>believed in ourselves and it's just really like and it's

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 3>is to anybody like you know, like never give up.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It don't matter your age, don't matter your circumstances. Like

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 3>you just never say die and if you believe in that,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>you will be whatever you want to be.

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 4>I know your record label, you guys are very you

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 4>guys really support each other.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to owning stuff.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, but.

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>It's still a business, right of course. Curve Nerve has

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>a label yeah. You know, people invest in artists, but

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, it's.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Still a business, correct, correct, correct, So talk about.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 4>That and how when you shut your own artists right right,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 4>are you going to completely give them.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, you got to take something back.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Right Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 3>I feel like when you sign, the biggest thing is

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 3>it's important to have a relationship. So you know, some

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 3>people are just signed just because they want the exposure

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 3>and sign for the wrong reasons. I think the best

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 3>thing you should do is make sure that the people

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 3>who was involved with you like they have your best interests,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean. So at the same time,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 3>but it's business and you got to know how to

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 3>separate the two. So to your point, communication is key.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 3>And you know, like I said, I just recommend people

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 3>to know the business because the rap game is ten

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 3>percent it's ten percent music and ninety percent business. So

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 3>just understand that, you know, and.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>How did you learn that business side? Man?

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 3>I just love to read and educate myself anything I do.

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Even when I was in the streets, I knew the law.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.239
<v Speaker 3>So anything that you.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't care if you buy a car, read the manu.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. So that's just my logic

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 2>to everything I do. You know what I'm saying.

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I love that the album's out right now.

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 4>We always end with the show with any positive quotes

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 4>that you always resonate towards.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Never say die.

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>The album that's out right now? What is it? Fully

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>produced by J Cole?

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>He produced the whole album, man, you know what I'm saying.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Everything, So as a Dreamville fan, as a Cold fan,

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 4>obviously everyone knows he's a real dope beat maker.

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 4>But when he gets to the studio, do you think

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 4>that's where he's gonna go next him like with the

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 4>fall Off. Now he's obviously doing this tour, he's gonna

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 4>get behind you guys like he has been.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you think he's gonna just go behind the scenes?

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I really don't know what he's gonna do.

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. He's so talented. Whatever he

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 3>choose to do, I know he's going to excel, you

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 3>know what I'm saying. So I believe that he loves producing,

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.679
<v Speaker 3>and it was a blessing that he did my whole album.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully we can do another one in the future.
