Speaker 1: the building. Yes, indeed, welcome. Hi. How you doing, I'm

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: doing good? Did you pronounce that right? Do? Yeah? You said,

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: you said, what's that mean? Do? Yeah? Really straight into it? Okay, boy,

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm projecting. Oh okay, okay, okay, okay. I don't know

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: how that sucked me up so much. I'm just it's yeah,

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean you want the short version? No, I want

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: the long version? Oh man, Yes, okay. I used to

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: get bullied a lot. I'm gonna rush through. I used

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: to get bullied a lot, and it was really bad.

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: And so one day I was like, you know what,

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: I'm sick of this. I'm gonna die one day, and

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: I want to die being myself, being happy, So forget

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: all of that other stuff. And then I think early on,

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: I was branding myself early and I didn't know it,

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: and I woke up one day and I was like,

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: forget Jayla, I'm dochy. And then I went to school

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: on the two two and I started doing music. Oh

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So you created a I mean, I

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: learned this in therapy because I've done it before. You

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: created a character to protect exactly as a defense. Yeah.

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Sixth grade. Oh, sixth grade yeah, sixth grade, yes, and

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: I've been ever since. Yeah, that's that's I wonder why

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: what is it about sixth grade? That was my turning point? Two?

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Kids are really mean? Yeah, yeah, it was bad. So

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: let's start from the beginning. What got you into music?

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: How did you sign? Let's start from the whole thing. Now,

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: you're from Tampa, Florida. Yes, I'm craziest people in America

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: come from the Bronx and all of Florida exactly. Come on,

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: where are you from? South Carolina? Okay? Sweet? Oh my,

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: I have family there really actually North Carolina. I think Greensville,

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: that's what it's called, Greensboro, South Carolina. Yeah. So, um,

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I grew up in the church and I started doing

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: music there. I was in the band. My mom had

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: me in like all types of different activities and stuff.

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: I did every sport you could possibly mentioned, like down

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: to swimming and like freaking lacross and stuff. And um.

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: From there, I think middle school, I started writing music,

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: but I wasn't taking it serious. High school, I went

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: to performing arts school and I really excelled there, and

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: then I put up my first song in like eleventh

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: grade and I haven't stopped since. Wow. Then when you

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: said you got bullied, did you go to a white

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: school where you went bullied or was it a black school? Yeah?

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean I got bullied my whole life. It was

48
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: really bad. So I did go to a private school,

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: and then I went to a private school, but I

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: grew up in the hood, so I would go to

51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: private school and like a different private town, and then

52
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: I would go back home with you know what I'm saying.

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like that type of experience. So

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I got bullied a lot in like predominantly white areas,

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: but then I would go around my black friends and

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: get like bullied too, and so um, yeah, I got

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: bullied all the way up until sixth grade. And then

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: I was like no mass, no more and why adult,

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Like what was that name? Like where did that name

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: come from? I don't know. It really was, like I

61
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: hate to sound super madic, but it really was like

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: spiritual for me. It just kind of came to me

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: and I wrote it in my journal and it resonated

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: with me because it didn't feel like an alter ego.

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: It really did feel like me, like a state of mind,

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: like a decision to live a certain way. Yeah, now

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: you signed with TD? Yes? Now how did that happen?

68
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: How did you hook up with TD? How did they

69
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: hear your music? Um? I had a song go viral

Speaker 1: lot of people got to see you and see you before. Yes,

114
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: how was that nerve racking? How long did you know? Practice?

115
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Sh I'm killed it. I wasn't. Okay. So I was

116
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: supposed to be on the small stage, but I mean,

117
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: in so many words, I just believed in myself enough.

118
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, when I do this,

119
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: I want to do it right. So I told him.

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: I was like, instead of being on the small stage,

121
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: I'll just wait until I have my chance on the

122
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: main stage. And now you pass, I said, let's postpone. Okay.

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: I didn't deny, but I was just like, I will

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: wait until my time comes and they hit me up

125
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: three days before and told me that they would like

126
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: to have me on the main stage. And so I

127
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: was already out of town, so I had one technically

128
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: like two days to rehearse. Um. So I felt very

129
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: unprepared for the performance. But it turned out to be good,

130
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: and I was extremely nervous. It was a lot of

131
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: malfunctions in that performance, but I think it was still

132
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: like killed. Yeah, that's yeah, thank you. How does it

133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: feel to be there the first woman to rap on

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: T Yeah, I feel I mean it's a lot of

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: dope ass rapping ass rappers on TD. It is. It's

136
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, but it's a good pressure that

137
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: I put on myself because it's like such a dope legacy,

138
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Like it's TDE. They're like that's hip hop, like real Red,

139
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Real Red, that's hip hop. So did you have to

140
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: were you there, like you know, Kendrick was transitioning out.

141
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Did you ever get to connect with him in anyway? Um?

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Not in person, Kendrick being like Africa. Yeah, it's hard

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: to catch him. But he did say that he thinks

144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: that I'm amazing, and that was that meant a lot

145
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: to me too, So hopefully we can meet in the future.

146
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Who put the arm around you first? Like rap Wise there,

147
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah for sure, Okay, Yeah, he put me on his

148
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: song and that was dope. And then after Isaiah it

149
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: was Um Soul but we haven't made music together yet

150
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: um and then after Soul Scissor. So it's just cool.

151
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: It's just like really wise and like just really cool.

152
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: And he had like a leg brace and he looks

153
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: like a pirate and it's really cool. Like the name

154
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: of the project is she her Black b Yeah, I'm

155
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: not going to say the word. Yes. Can you explain

156
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: with the title of your latest project means? It means

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: so many different things, please. So going back to like,

158
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I like to address a lot of my trauma and

159
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: I like to like get through things and unpack and

160
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: work through things with a lot of my music. And

161
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: me and my friends came up with this concept for

162
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: a production company. We want to produce music videos for

163
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: different artists and do visuals and shows and stuff. And

164
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: we ended up calling it I say b right, don't

165
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: say it, Okay, I can say it. So we ended

166
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: up coming up with the name Those Black Bitches, inspired

167
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: by Kendrick Lamar's The little homies and we just thought

168
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: it was funny at first, but then we really started

169
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: unpacking it, and my friend at the time of Yenda,

170
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: she was like, um, what if one day we went

171
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: an award and like all these white people have to

172
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: present an award and say this is presented to those

173
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: black bitches. We thought it was like something about it

174
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: is like dark but empowering out the same way that

175
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out how to explain to

176
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: people or have those black queens. Um, you know, that's great,

177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: that's great. It's just that's great too, But it's like,

178
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's something about there's like an archetype

179
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: of a black bitch. When I'm talking about the black bitch,

180
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this character we're creating, or this this

181
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: character that people think we are. And I thought it

182
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: was kind of funny, so I get can so absolutely absolutely,

183
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm using it. I'm using it as a weapon. I

184
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: love it. I think it's I think it's iconic. Do

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: you think we can really turn those words into terms

186
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: of endiment. I mean I always debate about this in

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: my head because I'd be trying to stop saying the

188
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: word nigga. But sometimes there's no other words to describe

189
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: these niggas exactly. You know, I think it depends. I

190
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: think it depends. I say all the time, like I

191
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: do not expect for all black women to get behind that.

192
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: But if that archetype resonates with you and you get it,

193
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: or you've been oppressed by the slur black bitch and

194
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: it empowers you to take it back, then that's your business.

195
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: But not everybody is empowered by that. And I feel

196
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: like we are all entitled to choose and not every

197
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: black person is entitled by the word nikka, and we

198
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: should respect that. I was gonna ask, how did your

199
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: mom feel? You said, you grow up in the church,

200
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: and now that you're successful, how was your family with

201
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: your success? You know, my mom just hasn't addressed the title.

202
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: She just acts. She just talks about the music does exist.

203
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: She acts like it doesn't exist. We haven't really talked

204
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: about it, but I would assume that she wouldn't it

205
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't be something that resonates with her. But I think

206
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: that the fact that she acknowledges that her black daughter

207
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: finds empowerment and something that oppressed her, I think she

208
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: lets me be and she supports it regardless. Who are

209
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: your influences growing up? Was Nicki Minaj first of all,

210
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: one of your Obviously I talk about Nikki all the time. Right,

211
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: you know now that I got the shot, I'm nervous.

212
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Oh don't usually you say chance? You put

213
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: the cups to somebody. Have you had breakfast? No? No,

214
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: doc you gotta have breakfast first, and name that Docie

Speaker 1: dope che I said, do che No you didn't. I

216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: don't really influences warm you up. Oh um, Tyler's a

220
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: gospel influences, Ti trebet I love Kent and Jones. I

221
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: grew up on a lot of Kent, Jones, Clark's sisters,

222
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: et cetera. At the Killer Shall kicking your ass. You

223
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: know they're trying to talk. I'm gonna let it fester

224
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: in my stomach. Now that's all you say. Really, early on,

225
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: you was in tune with your feelings. I could know

226
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: where the vibe was, I could feel the presence of love.

227
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm a churled with my mother. I watched her go

228
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: through years a really bad relationship. She didn't trust anybody

229
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: or herself. I watched her get older and mature, transition

230
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: and find her spirit. She's my first example of what

231
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: a woman is. So what the maturing would your mother looked? Like?

232
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: Where did you get that? I don't know. Wow, I

233
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: think that was like I think was tweet and delete actually,

234
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: but anyway, um, what was the experience? Yeah, with the maturing?

235
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: Would your mother looked like? My mom is a single mom.

236
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm the oldest, so me and my sisters are seven

237
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: years apart. So like, my mom was a young mother too.

238
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: She got pregnant with me at eighteen, So like, I

239
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: literally watched her grow up and it was so interesting

240
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: because we were like really close friends, grew up together,

241
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: we grew up together. It was so interesting watch her,

242
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: watching her grow up, and like, to this day, I

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: want to be like my mom. Like it's not even

244
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: about my career. She's just like such a fascinating woman.

245
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: She's so poised, graceful and kind, but also like roaring

246
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: and you're scared of her, And I want to be

247
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: that poise one day. But yeah, that experience really shaped

248
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: who I am now. And just like how I love

249
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: and how I approach life, I'm embodying my mother. Yeah,

250
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I grew up like real close friends more than mother daughter,

251
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: more like best friends. Nor. My mom doesn't play that. Um,

252
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: she's very very adamant about I am your mother. But

253
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: at times when she was younger, before she matured, that

254
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: did feel like a best friend. Like I was growing

255
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: up with my sister because she was she was wild,

256
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: had a mom act went when you were getting bullied, um,

257
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: because she was a younger mom. So she's the type

258
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: to pull up at the school. And absolutely my mom

259
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: was very protective for me. But it got to a

260
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: point where she was like, okay, girl, how many times

261
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna get beat up? Like how many times you're

262
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna get beat up? Are you? Are you gonna keep

263
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: letting people bully you? Are you gonna stand up for yourself?

264
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: So eventually I saw her kind of fall back and

265
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: just allow me to stand up for myself, like you're

266
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna fight back or you're gonna get beat up. And

267
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I got tired of getting beat up. You can only

268
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: get drugged through the dirt so many times. You remember

269
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: the day you fought back, the first time you fought

270
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: it back. Remember that first day? What happened at that

271
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: first time? Oh my god? Okay, So you know, how

272
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: were you with your cousins? They make everybody fight, absolutely

273
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: so I was the person they used to literally throw

274
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: me out because they knew that they could just beat

275
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: me up like it was bad. I just wouldn't fight back.

276
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why. So one day I think I

277
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: was fighting my cousin. I don't want to say her name.

278
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I was fighting one of my cousins long time ago.

279
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: You can say her name now was no because she

280
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: could fight, I don't want I was fighting her and

281
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: she was going end of me, dragging me, dragging me,

282
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: dragging me, and I was like, you know what to

283
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: get it? So I picked up boomed what boom? Boom? Boomed?

284
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: Would you pick up? I picked her up? Slammed or boomed?

285
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm on talking for a fame, my mom, all my

286
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: cousins laughing, they think it's hilarious. That was my first

287
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: time like fighting back, And then after that, every time

288
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: somebody tried me, I wasn't having it. So she didn't

289
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: want to fight you no more after that, No, she did,

290
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: okay that it's just my first time winning. After that,

291
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: she was like, okay, you got it, but never again

292
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: got back. Oh yeah, absolutely. It was your cousins that

293
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: was bullying you. All other people like everybody was gracious, No,

294
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: everybody was on me. But you know when it's from

295
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: your family is kind of out of love. Like there

296
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: was just like my step brothers. They used to always

297
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: try to like make me fight and like teach me

298
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: how to fight, just to like, you know, talking you

299
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: up a little, toughing me up a little bit. So

300
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: it's like I got to a point where I can

301
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: really eat hits. I lost more fights than I would

302
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: I really can't really bad. But it made me real

303
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: tough and I used to started fighting boys, and then

304
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: I started fighting people and that became a whole thing play.

305
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if if when we talk about toughness, does

306
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: it have to be physical, give me more emotional mental,

307
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: Like to me, that's the real that's what helps you

308
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: get through. I feel like I was really tough at

309
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: that age because I wasn't even letting them beat me

310
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: up because I was mainly scared at first. I was scared,

311
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: but then I started feeling bad for them. I was like, wow,

312
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: this is sad. Can't we just go play tag? Yeah?

313
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Because they were projecting, they probably was getting their ass

314
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: kicked somewhere at home or some place. That's like Florida culture.

315
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: People just love to fight. I really like it too.

316
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun when the last time you got

317
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: into a fight. Um, actually a couple of months ago.

318

00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: to look for it. But you know when people are drunk,

324
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: they take it the wrong way. So they was like outside,

325
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: lost the purse outside because we pulled up on the scooters.

Speaker 1: nothing to do with music, you know what I'm saying.

411
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: It's about life, it's about your spirit. So it's like, yeah,

412
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: how are you loving the industry so far? Meeting new people,

413
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: people being fake and having to do all that stuff.

417
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: why I'm like, Okay, when I was gonna do his name,

418
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: can you imagine what if his name is seven and

419
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: we don't know it is that his name? Oh made

420
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: y'all get to seven. It's his favorite number. And he

421
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: gave me like this deep reason about why it was important.

422
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: And I got really attached to that reason too, So

423
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: I was like fine. And then he was like, we

424
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: gotta get his tattooed, and I was like, fine, let's

425

Speaker 1: get his tattoo. He told God's number, right, Um, yeah,

426
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: he was like the earth was made in seven days,

427
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: and like seven is just like a really prominent important

428
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: and his birthdays on the seven. So yeah, we got

429
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: the seven, and I mean it still resonates. But yeah, exactly.

430
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: We were friends for like what like maybe three four years,

431
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: and we were together form I think like a little

432
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: over a year. Okay, Yeah, well y'all like not to

433
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: be personal, Well, y'all like just friends or like friends

434
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: friends for those three peoples, like we were like friends,

435
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: like friends, friends, like nasty. Yeah, but then we started

436
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: having sex. That's what I meant. Oh yeah, we were

437
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: like friends, but it was like casual. It wasn't even nothing.

438
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: It was just like this is what friends do. Yeah,

439
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: and then we grow in some more and then no,

440
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: it went from being friends. And then he proposed to me,

441
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: like randomly, really, and I was like, why not? Say, yeah, absolutely,

442
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: what happened? We didn't? We broke up? Interesting, Yeah, is

443
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: that do you think he's about? I say, do you

444
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: think he's the one? No? No, not at all, you know,

445
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: at least not who he is right now. People can change,

446
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: and like just the person he is right now, absolutely not.

447
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: And I think the person I am right now is

448
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: like not fitting for the type of relationship that he wants.

449
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: Since has changed the relationship, I think so blowing up

450
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: and on tour on the road, I think so I

451
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: became way more busy, that's way way Yeah, I became

452
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: way more busy, And I just I think he started

453
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: to feel like he wasn't a priority because I'm working.

454
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: Has he been doing any of the work that, like,

455
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: I guess process maybe some of his unhealed trauma or

456
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: some of the childhood wounds that he has. I don't

457
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: think so I would hope, so, I would hope. So

458
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: we don't talk now like I have. I don't even

459
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't call him if I wanted to. Yeah, I

460
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: feel like you're very in tune with your feelings though, absolutely.

461
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: What do you think got you in tune with your

462
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: feelings so early? My mom really taught me, like how,

463
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Maybe church. I just like

464
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: I was speaking in tongues when I was like ten. Mm,

465
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: so like I just have always, like had a longing

466
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: to connect with spirit and God, and I look for

467
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: God and everything that I do. I mean, God isn't

468
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: everything that exactly? Yeah, did you ever want to be

469
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: a pastor or anything? You ever thought that? You know?

470
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I am a pastor right now. Oh yeah,

471
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: in my music and as an artist. It's just not

472
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: in the traditional way that other people see it. I

473
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: think it's in the way that, uh, it's the best

474
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: way actually, because I don't think there's nothing that can

475
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: get messaging across more than music. Yeah, So I feel

476
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: like I'm ministering in my music, even when people don't

477
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: feel like it's gospel. I think it is m as

478
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: a child, did you make up fake characters because you

479
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: got bullied and have different characters? Just a fake character? Well,

480
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a character character. Um Nah,

481
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: I was that the imagine it? I'm trying to It's

482
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: like everything in me wants to say I didn't. Effects

483
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: are amazing, imaginary imagine. I don't know. I think I

484
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: did do that, but it sounds cooler if I say

485
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't want people to think I'm wearing

486
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: because I was an only child for seven years, So yeah,

487
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: I probably did. I can say because your sound effects

488
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: are amazing. You talk like miss Yell and a little

489
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Wayne rap. Really yeah, see you make your own sound

490
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: effects and everything else. That's what I said, is it's

491
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: because that's the only child sound effects. I did the

492
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, I used to like because you play

493
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: with yourself pose exactly like set up. I've been playing myself.

494
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, if you play with yourself, you play with yourself.

495
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: I know, yes, yes, when you were a child. No,

496
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: I mean even now, but not with no don't you

497
00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: what are we having this conversation for exactly exactly? Yeah?

498
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: Now do you think do you think the craziest people

499
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: in America come from Florida. I think the most liberated

500
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: people come from Florida. Explain, I don't think that Floridians

501
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: are crazy. I think that we are free. We are free,

502
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: and we don't give a damn. I think y'all need

503
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: some rules and regulations now. I think it's too much

504
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: freedom in Florida. Really. Yes, I don't know what people

505
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: do the British accent all the time. You live in

506
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: Florida now in La No, I don't live in Florida, right, Yeah,

507
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: I don't live in Florida. Is that sage? Yes, it

508
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: is Florid sage here all the time. You know, you

509
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: gotta keep you keep the energy right in the room.

510
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: What the sage means to you? Protection? Um, cleansing, Um,

511
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: that's it protection in cleansing. For me, it's like just

512
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: a representation. Yeah. It helps you set your set your

513
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: intent exactly. You know, Okay, you sage a lot sometimes

514
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: What do you do? What do you do when you

515
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, Like, what do your aff

516
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: for me? Like, what do you what do you do

517
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: to set your intention for the day you have like

518
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: a good day? Yeah, I go with the vibes. I

519
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: don't believe in routine, at least not for this stage

520
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: in my life. Too much routine, It's just it makes

521
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: you so stiff. So I try to be in the

522
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: present moment. But on a good day, my morning routine

523
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: is like waking up, apple side of vinegar shot open up.

524
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: I have to turn the ac off, open up all

525
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: the windows in the house, let the air in, pilates,

526
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: hop in the pool, skin routine, buff a bath, and

527
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: then I get to work. Do you feel like it's

528
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: hard growing up in this era where it's like everything

529
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: is and you pray? Do you feel like it's hard

530
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: growing up in this era when you where everything is

531
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: so like transparent, it's like every second in your life

532
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: is damn near on social media somewhere. It's not hard

533
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: for me. It is a little odd sometimes, but it's

534
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: not hard for me because I'm like, I'm an internet baby.

535
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: So even before I was doing music, I had a

536
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: YouTube channel where i would just talk about all my

537
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: business all the time. I'm extremely transparent, and it's not

538
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: hard for me to be transparent at all on the

539
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: Internet because that's how I've been communicating with the world

540
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: since I was literally like able to talk. Is that

541
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: good a bad? Though? I wonder m it can be bad.

542
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: It's been positive in my life though it doesn't affect

543
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: it helps me even so. It makes me like really

544
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: honest and brave, and I feel empowered by it. Sometimes.

545
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if when late nowadays, gonna label signed a

546
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: younger artist and they'd be like, okay, let's go scrub

547
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: you in in that history. So before you think so,

548
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: just in case, I would hope they will. They they

549
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: didn't do it with me. Yeah, Well you think's gonna

551
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: like I'm walking right. I'm not saying I mean when

552
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: I say cancer, I mean it's not gonna do anything too.

553
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be people. People gonna get mad. Let him

554
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: find out on it. Nothing could cancel me. Yea I
