Speaker 1: What type his way up with Angela? He and you know,
Speaker 1: this is a fun person to talk to. Eric Bellinger
Speaker 1: is here today. Take your headphones out and stay for
Speaker 1: a minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm chilling.
Speaker 3: Phone.
Speaker 1: You got airphones in Oh I.
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize. You know, you just have them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're just used to it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Do you listen to audio books and things like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, something moving all the time, especially like the little
Speaker 3: massage music that you'd be like, you know.
Speaker 4: You listen to that.
Speaker 1: Look you need to do one of those type of albums.
Speaker 1: You're right, because I felt like, yeah, you know, no,
Speaker 1: I really.
Speaker 2: Do so you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: If you've been around you know you just hear that
Speaker 3: little I'm beyonest, It's just it just does something.
Speaker 2: To the energy.
Speaker 4: Are you having a good time right now on tour?
Speaker 3: Such a good time. I'm living a dream. This is
Speaker 3: all the things I pray for.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Really, it's like.
Speaker 1: I feel like you've been, you know, excelling for quite
Speaker 1: some time though.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's it's like a good gradual slow build, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. I know, Wiz Khalif said, you
Speaker 3: know the quicker you here, the fast you go on.
Speaker 3: I think that's really the energy in with my okay line,
Speaker 3: it's just been an amazing steady pace.
Speaker 1: Well, before we get into your new music, because you
Speaker 1: have an album coming out August twenty first, yes, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about this list. So Essence is putting
Speaker 1: out this list of the fifty greatest R and B
Speaker 1: songs of all time, So every day they're putting out
Speaker 1: like another ten, So we're only at thirty so far
Speaker 1: at the time of this interview. From fifty to thirty,
Speaker 1: so I want to get your thoughts on what you
Speaker 1: would put on this list and what's already out there. So, okay,
Speaker 1: at number fifty is Jesse Powell with you like that?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 1: And I feel like this is such a hard list
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking about songs that I love and it's
Speaker 1: so subjective too, you know, And I think R and
Speaker 1: B has just too many different categories and time periods,
Speaker 1: like how do you choose? But forty nine was tell
Speaker 1: me regroove theory. Okay, number forty eight is folded by
Speaker 1: Kilani and we already said that came out like recent.
Speaker 2: It just came out.
Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be here Forever shout
Speaker 3: out to all the people that worked on Folded.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good.
Speaker 1: And yeah, And I just feel like that's the type
Speaker 1: of song. There's certain songs you hear in the first
Speaker 1: time you hear it, you're like, that's a hit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like even if you don't even realize who it is,
Speaker 1: that was one of those songs that you're like immediately,
Speaker 1: that's a hit.
Speaker 3: When I seen it, I was like, Okay, that's annoying.
Speaker 3: But it was for short warranty.
Speaker 1: Which one of your songs would you put on the
Speaker 1: list of top fifty crime for you?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: I think crime Friend of You is a timeless, timeless song.
Speaker 3: I got a lot of bangers, but when we were
Speaker 3: talking about Forever Crime Friend, you Ain't going nowhere, that
Speaker 3: thing could be in the mix of Motown Temptations and
Speaker 3: Today's Day in Air two.
Speaker 1: I actually really liked that song and it made me
Speaker 1: reflect because I'm sure for every woman, they're going to
Speaker 1: think about the person I'm with. Do I remember a
Speaker 1: time that he actually cried in front of me? Because
Speaker 1: I feel like men are programmed not to do that,
Speaker 1: even for you, you program not to cry in front
Speaker 1: of anyone, And that's when you know you really trust someone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And at first it wasn't a thing that I
Speaker 3: was like, babe. It was like me trying to sneak off,
Speaker 3: you know, get to a little cut maybe where I
Speaker 3: can just let all my emotions, you know, whether it's
Speaker 3: in a car balcony, in a bedroom and everybody downstairs.
Speaker 3: But somehow I think her intuition she always just like felty,
Speaker 3: like where's he at or something, because she would just
Speaker 3: come behind me and just it's okay, and you know,
Speaker 3: just rub my back and just be there, not necessarily
Speaker 3: having the answers, but just having the presence and the
Speaker 3: comfort for me. So man, after that, I was like, Wow,
Speaker 3: this is a different safety net that I feel, and
Speaker 3: I had to make a song about it.
Speaker 1: It's different too, because when someone cries in front of
Speaker 1: you, you don't know if you're supposed to just let them
Speaker 1: cry or supposed to be like, what's wrong?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: You know? Are you trying to?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Because I think the problem we have sometimes is somebody's
Speaker 1: crying and we're trying to like fix it. What can
Speaker 1: I do when sometimes somebody really just needs to feel
Speaker 1: safe enough.
Speaker 4: To cry in front of you?
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, and I wasn't, you know, even
Speaker 3: looking for anything. So it was dope that she was
Speaker 3: there because these tears were specifically from losing my mom,
Speaker 3: you know, and tears of grief. So there is no
Speaker 3: answer in that case. So I'm glad that she was
Speaker 3: just there and didn't try to.
Speaker 2: Come with the solution.
Speaker 1: And sometimes it just happens out of nowhere, like you'll
Speaker 1: just be shunning and then you think about something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the part when you lose.
Speaker 1: Your birthday, maybe your mind's birthday, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're.
Speaker 2: Like this did that trigger me?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: The memories you never know, like you said, when they're
Speaker 2: gonna creep up.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you also got to look at like your
Speaker 1: mother is what brought you to somebody like because I
Speaker 1: feel like you also have a song on here called
Speaker 1: just like You yeap where you are actually referencing your
Speaker 1: mother and you want to be just like her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And do you feel like with Leamyah, she has a
Speaker 1: lot of qualities that your mother has.
Speaker 2: I definitely think so. Man.
Speaker 3: She's such a caterer and just a domestic, god fearing woman.
Speaker 3: A lot of the qualities that I I had seen
Speaker 3: in my mom growing up, and when you're looking for
Speaker 3: your wife and that person that you're gonna be with forever,
Speaker 3: you're subconsciously looking for little things that remind you of
Speaker 3: the way your mom did them.
Speaker 2: And that just means it could be anything.
Speaker 3: Small, you know, like whether it's prayer or just like
Speaker 3: I said that, comfort or just conversation. But man, I
Speaker 3: definitely think that my mom definitely had so much love
Speaker 3: for Lamayah because she saw a lot of hurting herself too.
Speaker 4: That's dope.
Speaker 1: You gotta feel like all the time, there's certain signs
Speaker 1: you get like God brought you this person. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you lost your mom, but you have somebody that's
Speaker 1: really taking care of you at the same time.
Speaker 3: Now, so true to be there for you. Got always
Speaker 3: got you. It may always feel crazy, but he got
Speaker 3: a plan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a plan.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: Well, now let's get into more of this list, because
Speaker 1: I know we were talking about that first. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but cry in front of you. I definitely could see
Speaker 1: that like that.
Speaker 2: For real, genuinely, not just because I wrote.
Speaker 1: It and it meant a lot to you, you know,
Speaker 1: And I think that is sometimes because you work and
Speaker 1: write for a lot of other artists. But I also
Speaker 1: feel like there's nothing like knowing that somebody wrote a
Speaker 1: song and it came from a place of their own story.
Speaker 1: And I know you do sit down with people and
Speaker 1: talk to them about like what they're going through, what
Speaker 1: they want to express, but being able to tell that
Speaker 1: story of like this is why I write the song,
Speaker 1: this is what happened and it inspired me.
Speaker 4: It's just a different type of feeling when you hear it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, for real, you got to get the backstories
Speaker 3: and the breakdown so you could know where the artist
Speaker 3: was coming from.
Speaker 2: So it's important.
Speaker 3: I'm about to start rolling out videos where I'm just
Speaker 3: explaining the meaning of the songs, why I wrote them, songs,
Speaker 3: the state of mind I.
Speaker 2: Was in, and all that too.
Speaker 3: So stay tuned if you're watching this roll out. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, laying out of some mashing class
Speaker 3: feel me.
Speaker 4: You know, and before I know, I keep on straining
Speaker 4: from the list.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I remember when we had you on lip Service, and
Speaker 1: I've seen you talk about this before with the AI artist,
Speaker 1: and you said, decided to do that because you had
Speaker 1: just an overload of so many songs. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: just wanted to be able to like put those out
Speaker 1: in whatever way you can. But there's been so much
Speaker 1: backlash since then against AI artists, like I mean, other
Speaker 1: artists who you work with and respect have also said
Speaker 1: that they're completely against it. Even you know, I've seen
Speaker 1: kayline he says, uh, really, just do not like that?
Speaker 1: What would you say to them?
Speaker 2: I'll say, I understand that you don't like it. I do,
Speaker 2: but I do. But yeah, but because the thing is.
Speaker 3: I hate to say this, but a lot of times
Speaker 3: you don't even know that the producers, the videographers or
Speaker 3: the mixing engineers is working and using AI. But they
Speaker 3: just you only know one dynamic of AI. Therefore, you're
Speaker 3: not even able to fully translate what AI is capable
Speaker 3: of because this ain't got nothing to do it lyrics,
Speaker 3: This ain't gotten nothing.
Speaker 4: To do it because you wrote the songs, you have
Speaker 4: the artists.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is totally different. But I mean just the
Speaker 3: capabilities and the possibilities of it.
Speaker 2: Bruh AI. You can do so many things AI.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what I think the main issue
Speaker 1: is is people getting trained AIS using your voice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you still can't compete. I mean, they can't
Speaker 3: compete with you. You're the real person. They can't do
Speaker 3: the shows. They came through the interviews, they came through
Speaker 3: the podcast, they came to the meet and Greece.
Speaker 2: Why are you worried?
Speaker 1: But I wonder if there has to be a way
Speaker 1: to monetize or control that, because if you're using my
Speaker 1: voice to train people.
Speaker 3: Nah, it ain't they voice. It ain't they voice to
Speaker 3: explain it to me, it's just not their voice. Like
Speaker 3: if it's if you listen to both back to back,
Speaker 3: there may be similarities because it's a female because it's
Speaker 3: a soft tone, but it's not the same voice that's
Speaker 3: listening back to back.
Speaker 2: And are you going to and tell me it's the
Speaker 2: same voice?
Speaker 4: Are you going to roll out these artists? Like what's
Speaker 4: the plan?
Speaker 2: No? They rolling out? Some people don't even know the
Speaker 2: AI they lit their favorite song.
Speaker 1: You know there's an artist right now that who got
Speaker 1: a lot of backlash because people found out his song
Speaker 1: was AI and literally this ain't like he had to
Speaker 1: cancel his tour.
Speaker 4: There was so much backlash.
Speaker 2: Who put the tour together? I don't managers was bugging
Speaker 2: they was they were starting to believe a.
Speaker 1: High ticket sales because of the backlash because people found out,
Speaker 1: you know, he said the song wasn't AI, but it was,
Speaker 1: And so I.
Speaker 2: See that's the thing.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just a thin line, of very thin
Speaker 3: line when it comes to AI. It just is because
Speaker 3: you don't you don't know, you can't tell what's AI.
Speaker 3: Like the naked ear can't hear it. I can hear it.
Speaker 3: I know, like some people that can like point out
Speaker 3: AI in one second of hearing it, like oh Ai,
Speaker 3: I definitely, and some people like how you know, like bro,
Speaker 3: it's too perfect.
Speaker 2: When it's too perfect AI.
Speaker 1: It's two perfect, I'd be like, wait, that person got
Speaker 1: three legs and be like.
Speaker 3: Oh this is a It'd be like like what we're
Speaker 3: doing something?
Speaker 4: Well, what about this new project? Did you use any
Speaker 4: AI for that?
Speaker 2: Zero?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: Zero zero zero. It's different things.
Speaker 3: I'm a person that is like a real creative, so
Speaker 3: I like to experiment when it comes to different songs
Speaker 3: and like what is the technology you have to offer
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six? And you know I can say okay,
Speaker 3: that's that. But it's a big separation like when you
Speaker 3: hear this album, you're gonna hear complete like.
Speaker 2: Organic drums, piano, guitar.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be like perfection on the one sixteen Quantiz.
Speaker 3: It's a real feel that you'll be able to notice
Speaker 3: the difference. So I'm excited for people to hear.
Speaker 1: All Right, So we're talking about this list now. Other
Speaker 1: songs on the list Escape, who Can I Run to?
Speaker 1: Genuine so anxious. I don't know if he's going to
Speaker 1: appear on this again.
Speaker 4: Let me give you oh.
Speaker 1: Ari Lennox made the list with New Apartment. Now, I
Speaker 1: like Ari Lennox. I feel like I wonder if she'll
Speaker 1: be on there again, or if this is because I
Speaker 1: might have picked a different.
Speaker 2: Are doubling up?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, because we only know, you know,
Speaker 1: thirty through fifty right now? Aliyah one in a million?
Speaker 1: This is what's because some of these artists, I'm like,
Speaker 1: which song would I pick?
Speaker 2: One in a million?
Speaker 1: Is amazing a Keisha Cole Love, I think that's a given.
Speaker 1: You know that to this day, that's the karaoke.
Speaker 2: Pick, even for ot Genesis Yea, you Can't keep Me Killing.
Speaker 4: Tony Braxton Love should have brought You Home.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, as we're looking at some
Speaker 1: of these songs, what are some songs that would make
Speaker 1: the list for you as like the top of all times.
Speaker 2: All time.
Speaker 3: Usher, okay, quaestionions, I would go music, soul, child love
Speaker 3: like Stevie Wonder, Ribbon in the Sky. I like the Temptations,
Speaker 3: the way you do the things you do.
Speaker 1: Ooh, the temptations I might do. Just my imagination of
Speaker 1: that was just mom.
Speaker 2: I love that song.
Speaker 4: That's such a classic.
Speaker 3: It is, you know, I like the way you do
Speaker 3: the things you do because of the songwriting on it.
Speaker 2: Oh, such a good.
Speaker 1: Song, and you're looking at different things than I am
Speaker 1: the consumer.
Speaker 3: But the but the just my imagination, that's probably the big,
Speaker 3: big one.
Speaker 2: I love that one too.
Speaker 1: There's such a difference between what's the big big song
Speaker 1: and what's the impactful one too. Sometimes yeah, like the
Speaker 1: song that might be the biggest might not be the
Speaker 1: one that you would want to make the list.
Speaker 3: Everybody has their own preference and opinion because listening to
Speaker 3: one song from one person, they could say I hate
Speaker 3: that song, the next person I love that song.
Speaker 2: Like wow, people's opinion there.
Speaker 4: Is just crazy. What would be your number one?
Speaker 2: Number one? R and D, R and B? Who should
Speaker 2: I say? Let me think about it. I might go
Speaker 2: Whitney Houston.
Speaker 4: Which one?
Speaker 1: What's the song called I don't want to sing along
Speaker 1: with you because I'm not Ai.
Speaker 2: I love said, I'm a y bodyguards. That song is
Speaker 2: like quite the best one?
Speaker 4: What about okay not? What's the song where she was
Speaker 4: like the side piece?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Uh? That one?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: You know that? Or Whitney.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking about Whitney the song where Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: because my mom used to love this song and I didn't.
Speaker 1: You know how you don't and I will always love you. No,
Speaker 1: you don't know what the song is about until later.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you grow up.
Speaker 4: And that's what I was.
Speaker 1: Talking about all that time she was in love with
Speaker 1: a man who was with somebody else?
Speaker 2: Somebody else?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Am I forgetting the name of this song that.
Speaker 3: Has become the norm? Now I'll be hearing them phone calls.
Speaker 3: I'll be doing Lord.
Speaker 1: Jesus, Oh you mean tell us a secret? Been some
Speaker 1: crazy and it beat a regular voice.
Speaker 3: I'd be like, yo, you know how many people have
Speaker 3: had to be like, what's this?
Speaker 2: Oh? So what I'm saving? Yes?
Speaker 4: That one?
Speaker 1: Saving all my love for you? Right, because you realize
Speaker 1: that song is about.
Speaker 3: Her being Yeah, but look I will say a lot
Speaker 3: of moments is.
Speaker 4: All that he has. You got your family and.
Speaker 3: They need you there insane, it's diabolical.
Speaker 2: A lot of lyrics are diabolical.
Speaker 3: And the artist, I would say, the artists sometimes they
Speaker 3: hear the song and they just love the song.
Speaker 2: It's not always the artist.
Speaker 4: Story so beautiful.
Speaker 2: This is true, This is true.
Speaker 4: You know later on, I know you there's some songs
Speaker 4: you like.
Speaker 3: Dang.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that's what they were talking about. Everybody
Speaker 4: always talks about s w V.
Speaker 3: You know the one for me, Yeah, but it's who
Speaker 3: else next me say, you're making it.
Speaker 2: I thought it was just making difficult for him to
Speaker 2: get the number.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, in the very beginning of that song,
Speaker 1: the way that it starts, it's a little ad lib
Speaker 1: and she goes, I wonder if she could tell I'm
Speaker 1: hard right now?
Speaker 2: Not you didn't know.
Speaker 4: In the beginning of that next song, they say that.
Speaker 2: No, that would have explained it all. That would have
Speaker 2: explained it, because I was just like, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: It was just like this is like, no, they really
Speaker 4: say that. Listen, listen right now.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 4: Once they intro it with that, I know I forgot.
Speaker 2: I forgot who you're talking to.
Speaker 4: Live right there.
Speaker 2: I missed that. I was still putting my head on land.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: You're the censored version.
Speaker 3: That's probably what it is, because I have never heard that.
Speaker 3: Lord geez, I only have this song on the radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you have it. So your number one
Speaker 1: song would be Whitney Houston.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's that song called Bodyguard soundtrack? That's the best
Speaker 3: song ever?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: All Right, I don't really need to very much.
Speaker 2: I just love it.
Speaker 1: If I had a I could sound amazing. I just
Speaker 1: want to put we could get you right with the
Speaker 1: AI too.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine?
Speaker 2: I promise it's not even an imagination.
Speaker 1: What were we Okay, if we were in the studio
Speaker 1: right now, what is your process? Let's just say I
Speaker 1: was an artist and I was like, all right, I
Speaker 1: want to, you know, write a hit song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say first, I would say, you gotta
Speaker 3: be willing to sound crazy, all right, So talk to.
Speaker 1: Me like I'm in the studio, So Eric, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do a hit song.
Speaker 2: What's the first song that you would think to sing

Speaker 4: It good to you? Is that in juice?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: I need that type of vibe.
Speaker 3: Hold on, give me a melody, even because I gotta
Speaker 3: find your regis. I'm right into you. I'm not even
Speaker 3: gonna give you nothing that ain't even in.
Speaker 4: Your yeah from juice. Okay, all right, here you go.
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, this is my song right here, I
Speaker 1: want something that is in.
Speaker 2: The similar It's so Janet. I can hear some channels, Janet,
Speaker 2: So is it right there?
Speaker 3: It can do that? Is it?
Speaker 2: I think again? Just go just go La la la
Speaker 2: la la la la la la la la la.
Speaker 3: La la la la more confident la la la la
Speaker 3: hit it, hit it, hit it.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: Okay, So now that with a little bit of all
Speaker 3: those them is gonna get you completely right.
Speaker 2: So you know, all right dead Nah, I don't know
Speaker 2: what they talking about very live.
Speaker 3: Ask anybody that's singing, please lying if they say it
Speaker 3: ain't all right. So now you got the la la
Speaker 3: la that sounds like a comfortable register.
Speaker 2: I would be like, what about this la la la
Speaker 2: la la. Let me you say that that's more comfortable
Speaker 2: to me for you?
Speaker 3: So now la la la, So I go if I say,
Speaker 3: if I, if I see that, that's already like a
Speaker 3: good singing voice, good register. If I was just random
Speaker 3: words that I pulled, the next thing, I would be like, okay,
Speaker 3: do you wanna we gotta listen to some music?
Speaker 2: You know, So now I will play some beats like
Speaker 2: do you like this beat? Do you like this beat?
Speaker 2: Do you like this beat? I probably play like five
Speaker 2: to ten beats until you love beat.
Speaker 4: You pick the beat first before you decide the content.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to write to the music, so it
Speaker 3: kind of gives me somewhere to go. Okay, really, music
Speaker 3: can tell you what will fit the chords, you know,
Speaker 3: the chords out of fit, and you can help find
Speaker 3: a melody. So now I have to have to be
Speaker 3: and I know your registered. So now I would literally
Speaker 3: just freestyle.
Speaker 1: Are you like a therapist somewhat when you're talking to
Speaker 1: somebody about what's going on in their life, like, so,
Speaker 1: what's in love?
Speaker 2: You just broke up?
Speaker 3: What's going on? Talk to me like, actually, I'm happily.
Speaker 3: You know, I've been with somebody for six years and
Speaker 3: I don't know. This might be the one? Okay, cool
Speaker 3: boom you said might be the one. Now of a
Speaker 3: suddenly be like, all I got.
Speaker 4: The song what's called might be the one?
Speaker 2: Simple?
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So conversation leads to the
Speaker 3: song be the one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, it's a hit.
Speaker 3: Ok.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: I like to just understand the process of getting in
Speaker 1: the studio with Eric Bellinger and seeing what that's like.
Speaker 1: How do you prefer writers camps or do you to
Speaker 1: prefer just you being one on one with the artists?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Fifty with the artists. I'm gonna nail it, guarantee. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna talk to you. I'm gonna figure out what you like.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna act you along the process, like do you
Speaker 3: like this melody? Because I'm about to go let it
Speaker 3: you know, so you already have approved. But if it's
Speaker 3: a camp, that just turns up the competitive friendly competition
Speaker 3: amongst the studio and Room A and Studio B and
Speaker 3: Studio C, and we all in here going and then
Speaker 3: later on we know that Chris Brown or Usher anybody
Speaker 3: is gonna be walking through and listening. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: let's see what y'll work on. Let see what y'all
Speaker 3: wked on. Let' see what y'all worked on. And by
Speaker 3: the time they get to my room, I just want
Speaker 3: to say good luck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm yeah, I'm trying to just annihilate. I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to be on the album. I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to write a song.
Speaker 3: People like I'm trying to come in there and they
Speaker 3: have the whole vision, Like, oh my god, I see it.
Speaker 3: You can have the video. This is a single. Now

Speaker 3: about people and like their kids feel like Michael was
Speaker 3: just discovered, like he just dropped last week and that's
Speaker 3: my household.
Speaker 1: It's crazy how certain artists can transcend like every single generation,
Speaker 1: and he's one of them. Yeah, And because now, like
Speaker 1: we have young Kayla in the room, she's only twenty two.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff that she doesn't know. But
Speaker 1: like you never heard this song. You never heard this song,
Speaker 1: but she'll know all the Michael songs. And in the

Speaker 1: you're right.
Speaker 2: See you're just singing it. You're not even thinking about
Speaker 2: it when you're young.
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, And you know what's interesting too is
Speaker 1: the conversation people have been having lately. Somebody was asking
Speaker 1: me about who was asking me about my thoughts of
Speaker 1: young Miami because I turned into such a huge conversation
Speaker 1: about and you know, I'm I love that song.

Speaker 4: But yeah?
Speaker 2: I think I love it.
Speaker 1: Men have been saying way crazier things. Remember the song
Speaker 1: you put it in your mouth?
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I don't think that's I don't think people
Speaker 3: are saying that that song is bad, like sexual wise,
Speaker 3: like we're past that.
Speaker 2: I think it's just like the illegal business that people
Speaker 2: for the kids.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's all right. I get that for the kids, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, But scamming is bad, especially you've been scammed.
Speaker 1: That song might be like, yeah, that's all.
Speaker 3: But the song is fire. It's a hit, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: Will It gets the people going, It gets.
Speaker 4: The conversation going. Have you ever been scammed?
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 3: I'm loky still thinking I'm gonn getting my fifty rags back,
Speaker 3: Like I'm waiting, like what can I get that back?
Speaker 2: Is it coming back?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. Sometimes you got to just chalk
Speaker 4: it up as a lot.
Speaker 2: It's been six years, but no it's over.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what happened?
Speaker 3: I might get the fifty because you know how safe.
Speaker 3: For example, you back in the day, it was a
Speaker 3: little vibe. I didn't know what was going on hand.
Speaker 3: My man's this amount and we're gonna give you that
Speaker 3: amount back.
Speaker 2: It worked a couple of times.
Speaker 4: I was like, that's how they get you, because then
Speaker 4: they up the money. That's what happened, right, Hey, bro, Bro,
Speaker 4: how's it going?
Speaker 2: You got that empty body? No, alright, I'm calling you
Speaker 2: back next week. You know the person though, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know the person. So I'm like, bro, what happened? Bro?
Speaker 2: I don't know?
Speaker 4: But then he got got to or.
Speaker 2: Said he got got to Okay, So I'm like, you
Speaker 2: do mean to do? I got got too? I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Gangs gang, They're like, no, a lot
Speaker 2: of people already got him. I'm like I want to
Speaker 2: get him too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you know what happens when people, oh
Speaker 1: a lot of people. That's when you really could feel like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ever get more money.
Speaker 2: Bag.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm loky, Like it's like in there in
Speaker 3: my head. But I wouldn't have thought about it if you.
Speaker 1: Didn't said and what about so you never thought like
Speaker 1: let me try to sue or do nothing?
Speaker 2: No, we can't do that. This was it was like
Speaker 2: years ago. Okay, So I can.
Speaker 1: Understand you not loving the idea of that song when
Speaker 1: you're on the other side.
Speaker 4: Of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right? If you done came up?
Speaker 4: You came up, you like, this is my song?
Speaker 2: But this is my song?
Speaker 4: But I took a l then maybe not.
Speaker 2: I don't want to know where this game is now?
Speaker 4: What is Eric Bellinger still learning?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like you have been so consistent with
Speaker 1: everything that you're doing, and of course we always want
Speaker 1: to be still learning growing. So in what ways would
Speaker 1: you say that you're learning and growing still?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think I'm learning more and more that it's better
Speaker 3: to like just be you, be raw, be real, as
Speaker 3: opposed to trying to present like this perfect image or
Speaker 3: this perfect persona or this perfect answer that just adds
Speaker 3: so much stress to your life when there's really still
Speaker 3: no such thing as perfect.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: So, I think me just embracing reality and embracing my
Speaker 3: imperfections has made me a lot more just comfortable every day,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm saying in my own skin, so
Speaker 3: be you.
Speaker 1: You know, the first song, and I don't have this.
Speaker 1: I only have those songs that came out. I need help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta tell me what that's about.
Speaker 3: I need help is so my whole slogan is it's easy.
Speaker 3: Everything it's easy. But there's a line in first verse
Speaker 3: I say, no one knows what it takes to be
Speaker 3: me because I make it look easy. But I worked very,
Speaker 3: very very hard to make it look easy. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm covering so many different areas of you know, just
Speaker 3: job hats, just to make sure it's all good.
Speaker 2: But it's like, man, I need some help. I need
Speaker 2: to be able to delegate.
Speaker 3: I need to be able to call on somebody say hey,
Speaker 3: can you handle that for me because I'm over here
Speaker 3: and I can't get it done. But I think it's
Speaker 3: just and my nature to always just want to be
Speaker 3: the one to do it. Like I know it got
Speaker 3: done because I did it. But now I'm feeling more
Speaker 3: comfortable with the team around me that I can just
Speaker 3: like oh they got that, Oh they got that.
Speaker 2: So I think I need help.
Speaker 3: Is the first song on the album because it's in
Speaker 3: order to get the entire project.
Speaker 2: It had to start with that. It's also the first
Speaker 2: song that I did for the album.
Speaker 3: First song was I Need Help, and it came from
Speaker 3: a conversation with Troy Taylor and he was like, talk.
Speaker 2: To me, what do you want to write about? What's
Speaker 2: going on in your life?
Speaker 3: And then I just said, well, this is the first
Speaker 3: time I'm doing a deal with a label. The first time,
Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, reaching out like I need Help, and
Speaker 3: we wrote that song.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize this is your first time doing a
Speaker 4: deal with a label. What made you decide? Now when
Speaker 4: everybody's going the opposite.
Speaker 3: Round, So everybody about to go Indian and they gonna
Speaker 3: be like figuring it out, and I'm gonna be like.
Speaker 4: I already figured it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not only did I figure it out, I
Speaker 3: got help.
Speaker 2: Now y'all figuring it out?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: So it's a weird time.
Speaker 3: So it's like now that I you know, everyone's doing
Speaker 3: the Oh I want to be independent. It's cool, but
Speaker 3: I know what it really takes. Everybody don't even really know.
Speaker 3: Y'all have no idea what you're getting yourself into. But
Speaker 3: put that time in because it is worth it if
Speaker 3: you do know all the tools and you're able to
Speaker 3: do it. It's just a lot more effective when you
Speaker 3: have a conglomerate of people that are believing in the
Speaker 3: same vision as you.
Speaker 2: Lock and Key.
Speaker 1: Did you go looking for a deal or did something
Speaker 1: just come up that you were like, actually, this sounds good.
Speaker 2: No, it was that. It was so in the beginning
Speaker 2: of my career.
Speaker 3: The very first major session that I had was with
Speaker 3: Rodney Jerkins. So now I'm signed to him again. Well
Speaker 3: not again, but now I'm signed to him. And this
Speaker 3: entire time we've been in communication and it's been dope
Speaker 3: because he's been a mentor, he's been a friend, he's
Speaker 3: always given me advice. I've been working with him throughout
Speaker 3: the process and he recently got a position at the
Speaker 3: label and they were like, Yo, we need your expertise.
Speaker 3: Who do you want to sign? He said Eric Bellinger.
Speaker 3: So period we've been building it up and I didn't
Speaker 3: even know it.
Speaker 1: And I feel like you could have a position like
Speaker 1: how hit Maker had his position Atlantic Atlantic.
Speaker 4: And then Empire.
Speaker 2: That's what I want to do.
Speaker 1: I could see that being something you could do, because
Speaker 1: you know how many artists are probably like, oh, we
Speaker 1: have Eric Bellinger on the label. It's a twofold thing
Speaker 1: because now you're in house being able to get like
Speaker 1: first DIBs on some of these projects.
Speaker 2: Joints with them exactly. That's my goal for sure.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I know, yeah, I'll take a share,
Speaker 3: take a chair for the show.
Speaker 1: And then you close it out with everything is in Order.
Speaker 1: So it feels like throughout the course of this album,
Speaker 1: it starts off with you needing help and then by
Speaker 1: the end of it.
Speaker 3: Yep, it's all good. Last one too, it was really man,
Speaker 3: we wrote these songs so intentionally. The last song was like,
Speaker 3: everything's like, what else? What can we say? What's the
Speaker 3: song that we could write about to close it out?
Speaker 3: So with Everything is in Order, it basically just talks
Speaker 3: about everything that I've went through and how it's prepared
Speaker 3: me for now and where we're at now. You know,
Speaker 3: the first line is I'm set up for the next
Speaker 3: six years. I used to pray to be right here,
Speaker 3: work my way up to eight twenty credit my payments
Speaker 3: song on automatic debit.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Everything is in order.
Speaker 3: But these are things that when I was first starting out,
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I was just trying to make sure
Speaker 3: I hit the bill, make sure I can pay my bill.
Speaker 3: Boom the thirtieth come around again, what we're about to do?
Speaker 3: So now it's like, nah, we got it set up
Speaker 3: in advance. We think about that like okay, we get
Speaker 3: a check, it's like all right, cool a right, you
Speaker 3: should be good til twenty twenty nine January.
Speaker 2: I'm like that for you.
Speaker 1: Are you an extravagant person when it comes to spending
Speaker 1: money too?
Speaker 2: Trying to get better at not spending it? But my
Speaker 2: I just be like, that's wavy.
Speaker 1: You know it's so hard, right, I want to not
Speaker 1: spend You know how you can really justify it? You
Speaker 1: gotta start selling stuff that you don't use anymore.
Speaker 3: Because why are we piling up?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because I definitely had an appointment at my house with
Speaker 1: the real Real yesterday.
Speaker 2: Like hey they pulled up.
Speaker 4: Yes, they'll come to your house and get oh.
Speaker 2: The real real, Yeah, come through.
Speaker 1: To do is put everything together and they only take
Speaker 1: certain brands. You could look online and see what they'll take.
Speaker 1: They list everything and you get and it's like to me,
Speaker 1: I was like this feels great.
Speaker 3: No, there's places in LA that's like, yo, we buy clothes.
Speaker 2: We buy clothes. But man, they be trying to get
Speaker 2: you the percentages.
Speaker 4: So what else are you doing though?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, you take that.
Speaker 4: And the more you sell, the higher percentage you get.
Speaker 4: And then it's it's like a super like high end brand.
Speaker 4: You can kind of name your price.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a real real I say, I never did
Speaker 3: a business. I've always been on the buying end, whichever
Speaker 3: I need to be on the selling end.
Speaker 1: No, I'm telling you it's a good idea because it's
Speaker 1: a great way to clear things out. But then you
Speaker 1: can get some money to buy yourself something else.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you just you just did it. They
Speaker 3: can come through the house because think about it. The
Speaker 3: places I go I have to pack. I'll be packing
Speaker 3: up clothes taking it. Hey, I want to buy these
Speaker 3: clothes and then they take what they want and I
Speaker 3: got to take the other clothes bag.
Speaker 1: No, they'll let you know, we'll take this, but not this,
Speaker 1: and they take it.
Speaker 4: They take a picture of everything, and that's that all.
Speaker 2: Right, real real I'm coming.
Speaker 3: Might as well do a little, a little add or something,
Speaker 3: a little partner.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, Eric Bellager always a great conversation as a
Speaker 1: great time with you, and I love to see like
Speaker 1: every single time you're in town. You always got to
Speaker 1: come through because I feel like we can talk about whatever.
Speaker 4: But you've been so consistent throughout your career.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say I would have put focused on
Speaker 1: You in the top fifty.
Speaker 3: Ooh, I like focused on you. Focus on you is
Speaker 3: crazy because I have like a weird I got a
Speaker 3: weird like no, because like and focus on you.
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be the joint in my head.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I need New York. I need to figure
Speaker 2: that out.
Speaker 3: So we did the Ochilly and then at the same time,
Speaker 3: we dropped it the same week.
Speaker 2: And Chris Brown and Kidding dropped Oh.
Speaker 4: Damn, hey, gay, can I get a weak you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
Speaker 3: But it was like, ah, that was the joint. But
Speaker 3: I love that song.
Speaker 4: So you're still trying to give us this.
Speaker 2: I love that joint. The body Guarden. What's it called what's.
Speaker 4: Called oh I have nothing?
Speaker 3: It is I have nothing? What's the other one called boom?

Speaker 4: out of these side chicks songs. What we sound it
Speaker 4: so good?
Speaker 2: They do know they do? They do? They do? They
Speaker 2: be hits too.
Speaker 1: There's the perspective you can't write fround because you've been
Speaker 1: such a good guy for so long.
Speaker 2: Boo listen when it comes to writing a song.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I could just execute this song because I
Speaker 3: know how to write a song.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I could do whatever.
Speaker 3: Miss Molly Matt roll roll roll your bowl.
Speaker 2: I'll make it a hit. All right.
Speaker 1: But Eric Bellinger, ladies and gentlemen, and the date is
Speaker 1: it's twenty first.
Speaker 2: That's right, August twenty first.
Speaker 4: You're going to go on a too. You got to
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, show is no joke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting people ready appreciate that.
Speaker 3: So the next twitter, I do believe me, a lot
Speaker 3: of these songs or all of them will be performed.
Speaker 3: I think I think this is the album that will
