So Essence is putting 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.920 out this list of the fifty greatest R and B 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.000 songs of all time, So every day they're putting out 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.160 like another ten, So we're only at thirty so far 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.400 at the time of this interview. From fifty to thirty, 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.120 so I want to get your thoughts on what you 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.920 would put on this list and what's already out there. So, okay, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.120 at number fifty is Jesse Powell with you like that? 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:40.720 Okay? 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.200 And I feel like this is such a hard list 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.959 because I'm thinking about songs that I love and it's 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.360 so subjective too, you know, And I think R and 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.160 B has just too many different categories and time periods, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.080 like how do you choose? But forty nine was tell 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.120 me regroove theory. Okay, number forty eight is folded by 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:02.600 Kilani and we already said that came out like recent. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:03.200 It just came out. 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.080 But I think it's going to be here Forever shout 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.000 out to all the people that worked on Folded. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.600 Yeah, really good. 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.560 And yeah, And I just feel like that's the type 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.359 of song. There's certain songs you hear in the first 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.200 time you hear it, you're like, that's a hit. Yeah, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.440 Like even if you don't even realize who it is, 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.920 that was one of those songs that you're like immediately, 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:21.440 that's a hit. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.680 When I seen it, I was like, Okay, that's annoying. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.320 But it was for short warranty. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.000 Which one of your songs would you put on the 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.080 list of top fifty crime for you? 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:30.120 Okay? 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.839 I think crime Friend of You is a timeless, timeless song. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.520 I got a lot of bangers, but when we were 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.200 talking about Forever Crime Friend, you Ain't going nowhere, that 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.360 thing could be in the mix of Motown Temptations and 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.320 Today's Day in Air two. 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.600 I actually really liked that song and it made me 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.840 reflect because I'm sure for every woman, they're going to 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.200 think about the person I'm with. Do I remember a 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.399 time that he actually cried in front of me? Because 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.840 I feel like men are programmed not to do that, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.360 even for you, you program not to cry in front 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.720 of anyone, And that's when you know you really trust someone. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.880 Yeah, And at first it wasn't a thing that I 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.360 was like, babe. It was like me trying to sneak off, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.359 you know, get to a little cut maybe where I 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.120 can just let all my emotions, you know, whether it's 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.000 in a car balcony, in a bedroom and everybody downstairs. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.760 But somehow I think her intuition she always just like felty, 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.600 like where's he at or something, because she would just 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.080 come behind me and just it's okay, and you know, 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.680 just rub my back and just be there, not necessarily 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.040 having the answers, but just having the presence and the 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.480 comfort for me. So man, after that, I was like, Wow, 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:42.160 this is a different safety net that I feel, and 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:43.960 I had to make a song about it. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.440 It's different too, because when someone cries in front of 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:47.840 you, you don't know if you're supposed to just let them 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.400 cry or supposed to be like, what's wrong? 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:49.960 Right? 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.200 You know? Are you trying to? 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:51.520 Like? 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.320 Because I think the problem we have sometimes is somebody's 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:55.920 crying and we're trying to like fix it. What can 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.400 I do when sometimes somebody really just needs to feel 0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.040 safe enough. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.640 To cry in front of you? 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.560 I agree, I agree, and I wasn't, you know, even 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.240 looking for anything. So it was dope that she was 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:10.600 there because these tears were specifically from losing my mom, 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.240 you know, and tears of grief. So there is no 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.920 answer in that case. So I'm glad that she was 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.800 just there and didn't try to. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:19.799 Come with the solution. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.279 And sometimes it just happens out of nowhere, like you'll 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.719 just be shunning and then you think about something. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.560 Yeah, that's the part when you lose. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.760 Your birthday, maybe your mind's birthday, and then all of 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:30.480 a sudden you're. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.200 Like this did that trigger me? 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:33.240 Yeah? 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.120 The memories you never know, like you said, when they're 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:35.720 gonna creep up. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.400 And sometimes you also got to look at like your 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.400 mother is what brought you to somebody like because I 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.600 feel like you also have a song on here called 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.960 just like You yeap where you are actually referencing your 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.080 mother and you want to be just like her. Yeah, 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.520 And do you feel like with Leamyah, she has a 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:51.960 lot of qualities that your mother has. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.000 I definitely think so. Man. 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.800 She's such a caterer and just a domestic, god fearing woman. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.400 A lot of the qualities that I I had seen 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.200 in my mom growing up, and when you're looking for 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.640 your wife and that person that you're gonna be with forever, 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:13.200 you're subconsciously looking for little things that remind you of 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.320 the way your mom did them. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.600 And that just means it could be anything. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.719 Small, you know, like whether it's prayer or just like 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.720 I said that, comfort or just conversation. But man, I 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:29.480 definitely think that my mom definitely had so much love 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.560 for Lamayah because she saw a lot of hurting herself too. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:33.560 That's dope. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.960 You gotta feel like all the time, there's certain signs 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.320 you get like God brought you this person. Yeah, and 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.000 then you lost your mom, but you have somebody that's 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.719 really taking care of you at the same time. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.240 Now, so true to be there for you. Got always 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.680 got you. It may always feel crazy, but he got 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:50.039 a plan. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:51.400 Yeah, you got a plan. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:52.479 All right. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.360 Well, now let's get into more of this list, because 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.360 I know we were talking about that first. Yeah yeah, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.120 but cry in front of you. I definitely could see 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.039 that like that. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.560 For real, genuinely, not just because I wrote. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.359 It and it meant a lot to you, you know, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.120 And I think that is sometimes because you work and 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.159 write for a lot of other artists. But I also 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.159 feel like there's nothing like knowing that somebody wrote a 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.040 song and it came from a place of their own story. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.080 And I know you do sit down with people and 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.200 talk to them about like what they're going through, what 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.840 they want to express, but being able to tell that 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.479 story of like this is why I write the song, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.640 this is what happened and it inspired me. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.680 It's just a different type of feeling when you hear it. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.040 Yeah, No, for real, you got to get the backstories 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.440 and the breakdown so you could know where the artist 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:34.040 was coming from. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:35.000 So it's important. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.880 I'm about to start rolling out videos where I'm just 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.320 explaining the meaning of the songs, why I wrote them, songs, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:42.880 the state of mind I. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:43.760 Was in, and all that too. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.440 So stay tuned if you're watching this roll out. You 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.240 know what I'm saying, laying out of some mashing class 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:48.680 feel me. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.080 You know, and before I know, I keep on straining 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:51.560 from the list. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:51.880 Now. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.080 I remember when we had you on lip Service, and 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.640 I've seen you talk about this before with the AI artist, 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.000 and you said, decided to do that because you had 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.000 just an overload of so many songs. Yeah, and you 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.960 just wanted to be able to like put those out 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.520 in whatever way you can. But there's been so much 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.800 backlash since then against AI artists, like I mean, other 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.240 artists who you work with and respect have also said 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.960 that they're completely against it. Even you know, I've seen 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.360 kayline he says, uh, really, just do not like that? 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:22.800 What would you say to them? 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.280 I'll say, I understand that you don't like it. I do, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.840 but I do. But yeah, but because the thing is. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.360 I hate to say this, but a lot of times 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.480 you don't even know that the producers, the videographers or 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.680 the mixing engineers is working and using AI. But they 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.680 just you only know one dynamic of AI. Therefore, you're 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.280 not even able to fully translate what AI is capable 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.040 of because this ain't got nothing to do it lyrics, 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:50.880 This ain't gotten nothing. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.920 To do it because you wrote the songs, you have 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:53.680 the artists. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.200 Yeah, this is totally different. But I mean just the 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.320 capabilities and the possibilities of it. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.360 Bruh AI. You can do so many things AI. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.720 Yeah, but you know what I think the main issue 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.560 is is people getting trained AIS using your voice. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.640 Yeah, but you still can't compete. I mean, they can't 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.400 compete with you. You're the real person. They can't do 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.720 the shows. They came through the interviews, they came through 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.160 the podcast, they came to the meet and Greece. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:17.920 Why are you worried? 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.840 But I wonder if there has to be a way 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.200 to monetize or control that, because if you're using my 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:23.720 voice to train people. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.400 Nah, it ain't they voice. It ain't they voice to 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.520 explain it to me, it's just not their voice. Like 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.240 if it's if you listen to both back to back, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.120 there may be similarities because it's a female because it's 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.400 a soft tone, but it's not the same voice that's 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:37.360 listening back to back. 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.480 And are you going to and tell me it's the 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:39.920 same voice? 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.480 Are you going to roll out these artists? Like what's 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:41.880 the plan? 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.800 No? They rolling out?

But there's a line in first verse 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:57.840 I say, no one knows what it takes to be 0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:02.800 me because I make it look easy. But I worked very, 0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:06.120 very very hard to make it look easy. You know, 0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:11.840 I'm covering so many different areas of you know, just 0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:14.520 job hats, just to make sure it's all good. 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:18.480 But it's like, man, I need some help.

But I think it's 0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:27.640 just and my nature to always just want to be 0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:29.360 the one to do it. Like I know it got 0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:32.120 done because I did it. But now I'm feeling more 0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:34.280 comfortable with the team around me that I can just 0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:36.320 like oh they got that, Oh they got that. 0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:38.280 So I think I need help. 0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.400 Is the first song on the album because it's in 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:43.280 order to get the entire project. 0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:45.440 It had to start with that. It's also the first 0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:46.760 song that I did for the album. 0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.640 First song was I Need Help, and it came from 0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.800 a conversation with Troy Taylor and he was like, talk. 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:53.960 To me, what do you want to write about? What's 0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:54.920 going on in your life? 0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:57.520 And then I just said, well, this is the first 0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:00.680 time I'm doing a deal with a label. The first time, 0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:03.680 I'm like, yo, reaching out like I need Help, and 0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:04.640 we wrote that song. 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:06.680 I didn't realize this is your first time doing a 0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:09.680 deal with a label. What made you decide? Now when 0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:11.560 everybody's going the opposite. 0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:14.440 Round, So everybody about to go Indian and they gonna 0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:16.400 be like figuring it out, and I'm gonna be like. 0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:17.440 I already figured it out. 0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:20.360 Yeah, but not only did I figure it out, I 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:20.880 got help. 0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:23.280 Now y'all figuring it out? 0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:23.840 Okay. 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:25.000 So it's a weird time. 0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:28.240 So it's like now that I you know, everyone's doing 0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:31.160 the Oh I want to be independent. It's cool, but 0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:33.760 I know what it really takes. Everybody don't even really know. 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:36.080 Y'all have no idea what you're getting yourself into. But 0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:38.600 put that time in because it is worth it if 0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:40.400 you do know all the tools and you're able to 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:45.400 do it. It's just a lot more effective when you 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:50.680 have a conglomerate of people that are believing in the 0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:51.520 same vision as you. 0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:52.840 Lock and Key. 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.520 Did you go looking for a deal or did something 0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:58.120 just come up that you were like, actually, this sounds good. 0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.440 No, it was that. It was so in the beginning 0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:02.080 of my career. 0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.600 The very first major session that I had was with 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:09.359 Rodney Jerkins. So now I'm signed to him again. Well 0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.000 not again, but now I'm signed to him. And this 0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:16.760 entire time we've been in communication and it's been dope 0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:19.000 because he's been a mentor, he's been a friend, he's 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:22.160 always given me advice. I've been working with him throughout 0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:27.440 the process and he recently got a position at the 0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:31.640 label and they were like, Yo, we need your expertise. 0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.560 Who do you want to sign? He said Eric Bellinger. 0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:37.640 So period we've been building it up and I didn't 0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:38.120 even know it. 0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:40.319 And I feel like you could have a position like 0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:44.360 how hit Maker had his position Atlantic Atlantic. 0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:44.960 And then Empire. 0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:46.000 That's what I want to do. 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.360 I could see that being something you could do, because 0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:49.960 you know how many artists are probably like, oh, we 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.600 have Eric Bellinger on the label. It's a twofold thing 0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:55.600 because now you're in house being able to get like 0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:57.720 first DIBs on some of these projects. 0:34:57.360 --> 0:35:00.759 Joints with them exactly.
