1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Wait that ass up in the morning Breakfast Club Morning, 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy and Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: We all the breakfast club, good morning. We got a 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: special guest in the building, Russo, I'm man, my guy, 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: what's up? My brother? How are you feelings? Time block 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: for a hot minute came and he dropped like a 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: good forty balls, sixty balls, and then you got the 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: new project out. I don't even like to say you 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: got a new project out because I feel like you 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: dropped every week. You know, we got to I hate 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 1: when life's going great? Yeah, what's this? Number twenty one? 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: Number twenty one? Why so much music? Um? Why not? Okay, right? 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: Why not? What makes this one special? More special than 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: the other twenty though? Um? I think they're all special 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: in their own way because they're different timestamps in my 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: life and in my journey. This one is very reflective 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: of my current process and just going through the journey 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: of success and vigating what I've been going through. So 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: it's just special because it's in this moment. It's now right, 20 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: We'll never get down again. Now. You also talk so 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: much about being independent and the value of that. Come on, 22 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: and starting your own businesses. We know you have a 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: good company, but you do have a deal. What's the 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: deal with Russ? And so I have a partnership with 25 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: Russ a fifty fifty split and that's for one project 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: which I'll probably deliver at the top of next year. 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: And he's just gonna, you know, do what he do 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: best and I'll do what I do best and delivering music. 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's partnered and just not the one I 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: thought this was the album. No, no, yeah, we got 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: a whole lot of it. We got a whole lot 32 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: of it. You said, well, made part up with him? 33 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: Um man. He was just early in and very um 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: very resourceful when just you know, he showed a lot 35 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: of love early in appreciation and being that he went 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: through this process, he understood what I needed more than 37 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: the majors, Like they weren't offering me what I actually 38 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: needed to get to this level. Right, it was too much. 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: It would have been restricting. I dropped fifteen albums just 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: from the period of me going viral till now. If 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: I would have signed to a label, I probably would 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: have only got three out and maybe they would have 43 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: got a bigger push, but maybe not you know, so 44 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: it was like they were stifling what I was actually 45 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: trying to accomplish. And he was very hands off. Most people, 46 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: when you signed a deal, you can only release music 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: under that deal. I've been releasing me everything I've been 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: releasing since then, I've owned completely, so I'm just still 49 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: able to do my thing. But is it lucrative because 50 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, you dropped so much music, right, do people 51 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: get a chance to really ride to it and understand 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: it and sit with it and live with it? Or 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: is it it's almost like it happened so much if 54 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: you sell ten products, you know, versus one during a 55 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: period of time. Of course it's lucrative because I get 56 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: paid in the perpetuity I owned it for the rest 57 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: of my life. I'd rather be getting paid rent from 58 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: ten houses than is one that real estate man real estate. Yeah, 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: absolutely of them, you know, But do people get to 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: digest it enough? Like, you know, because you sit with music. 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: But sometimes music like when when sometimes when artists have 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: too many tracks on the album, don't really get to 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: get to track twenty six, You know what I mean? 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: Because you know, I think it depends on how great 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the music is. The people who want to digest it does, 66 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: and the people who don't don't. You know, my my 67 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: thing is, I'm never worried about that. I'm just creating 68 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: from my heart. I'm not really creating with the idea 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: of can you digest this or not. This is just 70 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: what I'm feeling and I'm sharing it. You could either 71 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: accept it or not. It's a different day and as 72 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: two where artists have a lot more freedom because I 73 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: think there's so many more resources in ways to just 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: reach people directly and not have to go through a 75 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: whole system to get that done. Definitely, and it's beautiful. 76 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: So this last album we actually sold prior to releasing 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: to DSPs through a platform called even and I sold 78 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: it direct to my fans. We sold four thousand albums 79 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: and did a hundred K and revenue prior to even 80 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: coming out. Most artists would have to wait for DSPs 81 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: and wait for streaming. To make that amount. Through streaming, 82 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: you'd have to stream twenty five million times and streaming 83 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: pay quarterly, so you wouldn't get that. I wouldn't see 84 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: what I made until next year probably if I had 85 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: to rely on streaming. It would be interesting to see 86 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: what the NBA Young Boy would have done. If you 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: want to be insane. He puts out as much music 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: as you did. He doing. If any of them, Drake, 89 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: Kendrick Cole, any of them run display the way I've 90 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: ran it, they'd make four times more than they should. 91 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: Like you should buy the art from the artists. There's 92 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: no way, there's no reason you should want a L. 93 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: Russell product, but got to go somewhere else to get it. 94 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. It's like my shows, we 95 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: sell our own ticket and if you want to see L. Russell, 96 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: you have to talk to L. Russell. Can we talk 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: about your growth as a human being and as an 98 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: artist and how that's reflected in your music even in 99 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: your name using your real name? Now? Definitely, I mean 100 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: I'm just able to speak on things I wasn't able 101 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: to prior because I didn't have the knowledge or the 102 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: insight or the information or the emotional intelligence. Like a 103 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: lot of people hit me about certain songs, They're like, man, 104 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: this was exactly how I'm feeling. A lot of us 105 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: are feeling these things, but we can't express it because 106 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: we don't have the ability. So, you know, as I've 107 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: grown as a as a person, I've just been able 108 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: to express more and the music has gotten better just 109 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: because it's closer to home, it's realer. That's one of 110 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: the things I love about you, the fact that you 111 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: are able to talk about your the traumas you've experienced, 112 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: but more importantly, the healing you've received. When when did 113 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: that journey start? When did you start getting that language? 114 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: When you start doing that work on yourself? Man Um. 115 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: I was working at this job called UTC, and I 116 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: sat across from this girl named Rita, And it's like 117 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: an aerospace company and they do a lot of contracting 118 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: for military different stuff. But I was working across from 119 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: this lady name Rita. She was from Singapore and like 120 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: her English was broken, so people used to really talk 121 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: to her much. But I used to chop it up 122 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: with her. And one day she gave me this book 123 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: called The Freedom Simplified. It was a short read, but 124 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: that shit changed my life. It was like, it's kind 125 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: of like Buddhist text, just like life principles. And that 126 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: was the first time I read in a long time. 127 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: I used to be like, I'm not reading because in 128 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: high school I always had to read, you know, stuff 129 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: based on school that wasn't interesting, but that just shook 130 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: me up. I went on Amazon and end up buying 131 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: hell of books after that, and it just start slowly growing. 132 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: I start getting around people who had similar thoughts, and 133 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: the homies start pouring into me and just life through experience, 134 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: just naturally growing and learning more therapy or anything like that. 135 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: I just recently start going to therapy, and I don't 136 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: know if it's for men. I don't know if I'm 137 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: getting I feel like I had an expectation going into it, 138 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: and you know that always kind of deviates the process 139 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: a bit because you may not get what you expect. 140 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how it is for me. But 141 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: I started going recently. What made you go? Um, just 142 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: wanting to kind of work through some of the emotions 143 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: I've been dealing with and just kind of like, uh, 144 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, some days you wake up and you tired 145 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: of doing trash stuff or like being in a certain 146 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: way for that moment you feel me and and and 147 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: then the moment it's like, I'm gonna go to therapy, 148 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: right and then you start, and then you know through 149 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: that process you either love it or you don't. Your 150 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: title of the new project, man, it's it's it sticks 151 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: out to me just because I feel like self sabotage 152 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: is that in all time high? I hate when life's 153 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: going great. Yeah, you know that's something that I had 154 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: to talk through with with with my therapist. Like, you know, 155 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: when things are going good, embrace it. I don't think that, 156 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, the other shoe was about to drop of, 157 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: something bad is about to happen. Just embrace it. Is 158 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: that what that title of signifies. Definitely, that's exactly what 159 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: it is. You know, I've struggled throughout this journey to 160 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: stay on a high, and not that you're supposed to 161 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: stay on the high. You know, you're supposed also to 162 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: kind of go up and down and stay kind of 163 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: neutral button. I'm usually extreme, I'm very high on very low. 164 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: And that title is very reflective of just that process, 165 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: going through the changes that comes with success and and 166 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: just all the anxiety and all the pressures that come 167 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: with it as well. It's a lot of work for 168 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: you too, the way that you operate, it's a lot. 169 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: It's more than the average person. But people feel like 170 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: they can really connect with you. I said, you did 171 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: a pop up show in Brooklyn, and they said you 172 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: were outside greeting everybody.

Yeah, And 176 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: I saw the tickets to a platform our own equity 177 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: and it's called what's TBA Black Owned Tech, and um yeah, 178 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: I was like, I want to do a pop up 179 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: And originally we thought it was gonna be like fifty 180 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: two one hundred people, just some light and we end 181 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: up doing over five hundred tickets that stuff. And I 182 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: see that you actually do research to see where the 183 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: demand is so you know where you're gonna go next 184 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: because you can see where people are huge Larussell fans, 185 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, it makes sense to go here because then 186 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: we'll sell those tickets right, and and our base is 187 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: really tapped in, like you know, we I'm able to 188 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: go to a city and say hey, I'm here and 189 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: get a whole bunch of you know, like we we 190 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: have a high engagement rate. And you do to pay 191 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: what you want? Deal, right, did you do? Show? These 192 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: shows are offer based, so we do pay. We do 193 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: proud to pay shows where you could pay absolutely anything, 194 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: and sometimes like at home, we'll do that. Like right now, 195 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: we're doing a cafe. You can pay whatever. But these exactly, 196 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: but these shows are offer based. So you go through 197 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: the site and you make an offer on what that 198 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: ticket is worked to you, and we either accept or 199 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: decline the offer. Is that Is that lucrative because I 200 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: see you do that. You do that with your mom's cafe, 201 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: you do that with the merchandise. Is that lucrative? Very 202 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: because you're like, so for the backyard shows across a 203 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: span of four backyard shows, people people don't hold the 204 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: bay shows. Just explain I built a residency in my 205 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: backyard so we don't have to deal with the politics 206 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: of the venues. And we did four really big shows 207 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: in the summer. I was coming out this is my crib, 208 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: my childhood home. And across the four shows, we generated 209 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: about seventy five thousand dollars. And it's because off the person, 210 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: only two hundred people can come to each show, so 211 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: off eight hundred people, right. And it's because when you 212 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: do offer base, you never know what you're worth to 213 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: someone else. Right, If I change your life through music, 214 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: or if you just really loved Larussell, you're gonna shoot 215 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,599 Speaker 1: me a little bit mole. You know a lot of 216 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: artists my size, they go do shows, and their ticket 217 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: price probably like twenty five dollars, fifteen dollars. My last show, 218 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: the average ticket price was seventy five dollars. And that's 219 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: because we allow the people to choose. But that experience 220 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: is worth but we also provide so much more. I'm 221 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: at the front door doing wristbands after the show. You 222 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: could actually talk to me at the crib. My pops 223 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: is cooking, my mom's here, so it's a different extent. 224 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: You're putting the wristbands on people, and I'm wrist banding people. 225 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing that everything. I'm kissing babies. Man, come on, 226 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: are you putting them tight so they can't slide it 227 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: off and pass it to somebody else? But man, my 228 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: fans don't even do that. We don't even have to 229 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: worry about it. We built great energy. They fuck with me. 230 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: You don't feel a way with people knowing where you live, nah, 231 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: because I've lived there in my whole life. Just more 232 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: people now already know. But I mean, what we've built, 233 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: it's like a safe keeping the hood, Like everybody looks 234 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: out for it. It's like na this is this is ours. 235 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: You feel me, so we don't have to deal with that. 236 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: Have you had anybody like just pop up when it's 237 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: not a show, like I want to meet Lar Russells. Yeah, yeah, 238 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: a couple, a couple of half, a couple of half 239 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: and you know that's nothing but a trip outside. I 240 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: didn't Hey, don't you come around here again? But I'm 241 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: gonna show you that love. We're gonna embrace you and 242 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: tell you something. Man. I love l Russell Man. I 243 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: love for a bunch of reasons. Number one, there's a 244 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: dope lyricists, very intelligent young man. But also, it's not 245 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: about what you say yes to. It's about what you 246 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: say no to. I saw you say no to some 247 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: really I'm no need to say no names to some 248 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: really incredible shit earlier that I know would make the 249 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: average young man be like, oh, I'm absolutely doing it. 250 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: And I remember you hit me like nah, it's ain't right. 251 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: It wasn't right, and I was like, I mean, it 252 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: don't be right, it don't be right. And that's the thing, 253 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: like when you don't say no, later on, you're gonna 254 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: feel it no matter what, and you're gonna have to 255 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: sit with it and I'm somebody it'll bothering me. It's 256 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: gonna absolutely bothering me. So those nos early really saved 257 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: me because, like I said, if I would have took 258 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: them early deals, I would have been hindered. I wouldn't 259 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: have been as big as I am. Now how long 260 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: ago that? It hasn't been a year. It's been about 261 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: a year rough, Yeah, it's been one year. You know 262 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: we started. It was like three thousand followers at that 263 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: point to now almost over five hundred k, so it's 264 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: been one year. I remember when Jova first hit me 265 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: about you. He sent me the freestyle that that that 266 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: Wallow posted. Yeah, and I didn't get a chance to 267 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: listen to it because I was traveling and he hold 268 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: on ever duties. He takes me back, like, you ain't 269 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: listen to that free stuff, but right clearly because he 270 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: knew that if I heard it, I'd be on it. 271 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: And I'm like, God, damn, who is this? Come on? 272 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: And it was you come on? And I saw you 273 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: say on a Power one or six that you were 274 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: willing to die to try to get as big as 275 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: Drake independently. Yeah, you think that's possible. I think it's 276 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: very possible, especially now. Like early when I was thinking 277 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: that I was, I used to tell we used to 278 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: go on label meanings and I used to ask them, 279 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: do you think it's possible to be as biggest drake 280 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: as an indie? And we used to get a lot 281 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: of doubt and like, I don't know, you'd have to 282 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: go through this, this dude through this system. And it's like, 283 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: if I got here independently, I can only get bigger. 284 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: You know, I know what I did to get here. 285 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: So if I do at times ten, that means I'm 286 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: gonna get it ten times multiple on my growth. If 287 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: I do that times a hundred, I'm gonna get a 288 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: hundred times multiples. So yeah, I definitely believe Saw. I mean, 289 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm completely independent. You feel me on 290 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: this platform. Most of the people who come on here 291 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: have a label behind him as part of their pr 292 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: rollout there press, but we don't have a label behind it. 293 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: What are some of the stresses that you deal with? Though? 294 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: Like I said, it is a whole lot more work 295 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: when you do run things independently, but I understand the 296 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: financial payout is greater. But what are some of the 297 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: stresses um? Life just not having adequate time to to 298 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: cater to everyone and everything, Um, dealing with the emotional 299 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: trauma that kind of comes with the changes that come 300 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: with success, like just the change of dynamic and relationships, 301 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: not being able to do certain things like I usually 302 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: take my daughter to school and pick her up, so 303 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: like when I'm out and gone, I don't get to 304 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: do that and get to cultivate that situation and just um, yeah, 305 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: it's really the time spot that stresses me most. And 306 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: just um, whenever I do something that's like against my 307 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: soul or feel like I'm not being the greatest human 308 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: or I didn't I didn't acting my best interests of 309 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: a situation. Could you see yourself doing a more long 310 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: term situation, a deal, a partnership, Yeah, definitely, But I 311 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: think the way that we structure it would be kind 312 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: of different than labels do deals. So they like to 313 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: do things and like four albums or five albums versus 314 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm somewhere where it's like if we do long term, 315 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I'll release music with you for a 316 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: year or so and we'll split back in But you know, 317 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: it's just it just has to be restructured a different way. 318 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: Because how they do it now doesn't make sense. Like 319 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: one offer, I got offered a three sixty for like 320 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: ten percent of three of me, right, but they didn't 321 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: offer me a percentage of the company, which is crazy. 322 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: It's like, why would you want a percentage of mind 323 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: without giving me a percentage of yours. People want to 324 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: sign to, you know, the Rock Nations and the Death 325 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: Chams because of the artists that was there prior, but 326 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: they don't have equity in those companies. I'm only going 327 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: to go sign a rock Nation because Cole was there, 328 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: Rihanna was there, Yay was there, but you're not going 329 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: to give me equity for bringing me here, right, So 330 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: TDE everyone wants to be there because Kendrick was there, 331 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: but either he may not have equity and TDE so 332 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: it's like they're they're offering that s these scenes that 333 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: just doesn't fully make sense. But instead of the equity, 334 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't they be investing in you? Wouldn't they be giving 335 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: you probably money, resources, access to things that you mad 336 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: And that's a that's a one time loan for a 337 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: lifetime of equity on day end, two hundred and fifty 338 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: thousand dollars right now, for a lifetime or equity. Ain't 339 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: no fun. That that's not that's nothing. But they're getting 340 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: able to arrest of their life. Label will say that 341 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: that you know when they make an investment, but I 342 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: mean you're different. But when they make an investment into 343 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: an artist, you know, they might sign a hundred artists, 344 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: nine of them brick out nine of them. We never 345 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: hear about as fat as that. What that got to 346 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: do with me? My dad ain't got decisions. You feel 347 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: me like, nah, that that's not real. And it's like, bro, 348 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: we make the product. I don't really care what you're doing, 349 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: Like you selling my shit. I mean what you're selling, 350 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: everything that you're making money off of is something that 351 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: I made. How am I getting the lesser end of it? 352 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: So what would be a fair deal to you? Um? 353 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: I think fifty fifty profit shares are fair fair with 354 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: the proper amount of equity to establish what you're trying 355 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: to create. I think that. I also don't have a 356 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: problem with people getting paid in the perpetuity off of 357 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: houses they help build, right, But if you come into 358 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: a system that's already fully established, you should be assistive. 359 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: You should have been taken over. We created this already 360 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: got this motion. It's different when you help build someone 361 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: in front the ground. But if you didn't help build 362 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: a house from the ground, why would you, you know, Like, 363 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: they're just something that don't make any sense. I wonder 364 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: if it's in the future, it's gonna be like more 365 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: licensing deals that labels do with artists. Yeah and established 366 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, yeah, And that's starting to happen now. 367 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: You're seeing a lot of that, Like people are licensing 368 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: in music, and that's because they understand. Like, man, we're 369 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: getting to the point now where we're realizing the labels 370 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: really it's not much that they're offering when you're somebody 371 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: who has something going already beyond capital, it's not much 372 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 1: they can really do for you now, because you get 373 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: the visibility, you get the eyes. You know, it's not 374 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: too many platforms you can't get on. I've seen you 375 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: do everybody just about you know what I mean, So 376 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: I get it. And you also practice what you preach 377 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: with your business. So I saw you've been for a 378 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: while now filming videos with artists as well, and you 379 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: don't charge them, right, you guys just on the back end, 380 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: not even fifty fifty. Sometimes it's less than that, like 381 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: I'll split the back end, however makes sense to accommodate 382 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: what we're getting done. So like, especially with us, we 383 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: don't walk away with fifty because we have a whole 384 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: team that help. So some of us are only getting 385 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: eight to ten percent. Then yeah, the artists get the 386 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: greater hand half of it because they created the product. 387 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, we don't charge anyone, We just split the 388 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: back end. No, he's really about it. He's tried to 389 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: give me splits on problem. I'm like, no, bro, I 390 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: don't do that. But in second, I wouldn't do that. 391 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't take that from you anywhere. Wich is just crazy. 392 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: Why is it illegal? Because it would sway what DJ's 393 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: play or what personalities talk about. Like I like to 394 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: keep my stuff organic, Like if I'm talking about you, 395 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: is because I actually genuinely enjoy you. You know what 396 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying. You can't pay. You can't pay for my 397 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: opinion on something, right, But if you talked about someone 398 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: and show them love and then they give you equity 399 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: after right, they can't sway you because you already did 400 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: the d You feel me and I feel like you 401 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: should own equity and things that you helped build, like 402 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: you posted me so many times at my platform grew right, 403 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: Why didn't you have equity in it? Now? I remember 404 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: you were striving towards veganism. Yeah for a period of time. 405 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: Did you get there yet? I think I'll lasted a 406 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: good two three months and then I start missing the 407 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: good things in Nah, but I did pretty well. You know, 408 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: black bean patties really helped me get through that. It 409 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: was rough. I didn't have all the proper knowledge, so 410 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: I went into it um amateurish, which led to me 411 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: just kind of eating the same as I was already eating, 412 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: just without the meat exactly. So what made you even 413 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: want to do that? What was that damn doc? The video? Right? 414 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: Did it? Did it piracy or something like? It didn't? 415 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: To me? I was like, I was to change my 416 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: life's what's meat? What was the name of that doc? 417 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: Didn't make you feel any different during that period of time? Um, 418 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: things was a blurred in that period of time. Life 419 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: was life? All right? What the health? What the health? 420 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: That was the name of the health? The health? I 421 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: ort to go back to the name of the album. 422 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: I hate when Life's going great? Yeah, you know, people 423 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: assume that that's what you live for. With life is 424 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: going great, you say you hate it? Right? What moment 425 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: made you hate life being great? Not one specific moment, 426 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: but like a culmination of things, Like I say, just 427 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: having to seeing your relationships change and some relationships where 428 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: you want like this and now you start to kind 429 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: of grow apart. That's really the most tedious part for 430 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: me because I've started this with a large group of people. 431 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: But as you kind of progress in scale, everyone can't 432 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: go to the top of the mountain, and it's like 433 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: you start to realize that everyone wasn't climbing. Some people 434 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: was on your back right, and you just can't make 435 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 1: it up that way because it's not the same journey. 436 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: So just really as you go and progress, that's the 437 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: biggest part for me is having those relationship dynamics change 438 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: and just like I say, having to go through the 439 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: different emotions that comes with that. Who in your family 440 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: is a pastor man? Because you got a level of 441 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: spirituality about you that that I can tell it's just 442 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: rooted in you. Somebody is in the church or somebody's 443 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: a passage, I'm not sure, man, It's a lot of sad. 444 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: Guru I'll be watching a whole lot of sad Guru 445 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: and a whole lot of reading. So when I first 446 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: got back into reading, I would only read books I 447 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: was by Indian mystics, so I was getting a lot 448 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: of like Eastern wisdom versus R and Um. It's just 449 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: really changed the way I view life and see the 450 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: world and the way that I navigated. How does it 451 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: change the artist that you used to like? Because I 452 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: know you've referenced that too, that we're your heroes, but 453 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: now you're like, I can't really relate to that type 454 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: of right anymore. Man. It changes it a lot, But 455 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: it also makes me um just more receptive to how 456 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: human everyone is. Like, you know, you it's really great 457 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: to see your heroes without their cape, so you don't 458 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: you don't you know when they stopped being super you're 459 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: not let down and disappointed because you realize, oh, that's 460 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: a regular nigga. You feel me. But when you're not 461 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: looking at it like that, you see them as this 462 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: big thing and you give them some sense of hierarchy, 463 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: and I could really just destroy everything you once felt 464 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: for them. So I just no longer put people on 465 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: that pedestal. It makes you realize that the success is 466 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: probably more attainable than you ever thought it was. Oh man, 467 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: very much. So. I don't I don't feel like there's 468 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: anything I can't do. If it just comes down to work, 469 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: there's nothing I can't do. And that's why now we 470 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: feel it's like, you know, we don't need a label. 471 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: I do feel like I could become as big as 472 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: Drake as an end because I know it's just work 473 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: and that's one thing I'm willing to do. And you 474 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: be getting calls from a lot of the big the 475 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: big dogs. You don't want to know. Just you know, 476 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: back to back to to your childhood crib when you 477 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: called your moms, I said, Mom, I want to do 478 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: a concert in the backyard. How was that conversation? What 479 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: the how? How did you reply? Uh? Exceptional? I said, 480 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: Ain Nigga was about to build a purgle in the 481 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: back grabbed the himlet. He said, what's the burglar? I said, 482 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: You're about to see the next thing. You know, we 483 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: built it up. You know it was. My mom is 484 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: just the realist, coolest in the world on earth. And 485 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: you know it's like, whatever we say we're gonna do, 486 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. She ain't got no issue with it. 487 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: And you y'all put out the tail from the Town Project. 488 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I was doing the People's Project. Yeah, okay, 489 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: what's it called? The People's Projects? So they're they're a 490 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: group in Oakland that really really helps the community, really 491 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: serves out there, like they feed the community, they give clothes, hygiene, 492 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: and they've been building for a long time and they 493 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: just tapped me in to be a part of that project. 494 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: So it was a really dope community thing. They got 495 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the Bay on there. Who's going to 496 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: whop Dad? All black offset gym? It's it's a it's 497 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: a heavy Bay lineup. How do you become such a 498 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: lyricist coming from the Bay, Not like, you know, the 499 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: guys from the Bay weren't snapping, But your sound is 500 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: different than a lot of them. Man. When I was 501 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: growing up, my pops played a lot of holes and 502 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot of nois. Like, I grew up on a 503 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: traditional base last, but also grew up on just a 504 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: range of music. And when I got to the age 505 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: where I started being able to consume music on my own, 506 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: I was heavy on the Kanye's and the fifty cents, 507 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: and then I finally got in the hole and and 508 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: you know Drake Wayne, so I didn't really um. All 509 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: of my influences was was a lot of heavy lyricists. 510 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: And you wear crocs like brothers in Brooklyn? Right now, 511 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: when did that start? Probably like twenty eighteen. Uh. I 512 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: don't even remember how I got to the crocs. I 513 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: think my daughter's mom sister had bought me something like 514 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: the first pair she has. Something. I was like, man, 515 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: let me try um, and I put my foot in them. 516 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: Things comfortable. I should do something with make your own crocks. See, 517 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that, but I really love crocs. 518 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: So hopefully they just taff in because you know, they 519 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: do a lot of the little things that jewelry and stuff, 520 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: not jewelry but whatever that you can put on in 521 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: those really well. So we made our own. We actually 522 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: have some yep buttons. We got jib you know what's 523 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: so crazy? Like I love I love the easy slides, 524 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: and I always say I hope the easy slides don't 525 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: become a symbol of hate. And every time I say that, 526 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: somebody be like, buy crops. Where the crocs? Right, I'm like, word, 527 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, not crocks is cool? And then they 528 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: got the little piece on the back. So if you 529 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: gotta move, you got kids, you gotta move, Just put 530 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: the thing in the back and out of there. When 531 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: you think about that, though, since you yeah, can you 532 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: separate a person from the music that you love or 533 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: even from the brand that you love? Like maybe somebody 534 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: is like, I still love the Yeasies, I'm still wearing 535 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: my Yeasies, or are you like you know this person 536 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: did this? I don't mess with them anymore. So therefore 537 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: none of their products or music. It depends on to 538 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: the degree of which they've done. Um, Because I feel 539 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: like throughout life we have to separate product from people. 540 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: A lot of these people are kind of sick. We 541 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: just don't know the people behind the product, and they 542 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: all have the same that you're like, we don't know 543 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: who owns a lot of radio and probably tell if 544 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: you do, you know, we never know how didn't even 545 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: it's a lot there, but yet we still support it 546 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: and we consume it. So I think it just depends 547 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: on the degree of what they've done. Um, I'm able 548 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: to separate the art until it's like, ah, you're you're 549 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: a little extra sick, and I just can't support it 550 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: because I'm putting money in your pocket and I'm generating 551 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: revenue for you to continue doing what you're doing. You know, 552 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting to me and I want to discuss this 553 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: to how you look at women right and your growth 554 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: and maturity in that respect and taking accountability for things, 555 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: but also saying I'm not using the word bitch anymore 556 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: to refer to my girl because a lot of people do, like, Yeah, 557 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: that's my supposed to be a compliment and the intention 558 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: is not supposed to be. But words do matter. So 559 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: can you discuss your growth in that area? Uh a 560 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: journey that I'm still traveling. I haven't been the best 561 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: towards women like previously, just throughout my journey and sometimes 562 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 1: even now, but I think that's something that's self reflective. 563 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: I don't think men can respect women until they respect themselves. 564 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: And a lot of men can't respect themselves because they 565 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: don't know how. They've never been respected throughout their journey 566 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: in life and through their child childhood. They've never been 567 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: nurtured or nourished or it just poured into so it's 568 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: very very difficult for you to go pour into someone 569 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: else and you don't even know what. That's like, that's true. 570 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean healed people, healed people, right, like you know, 571 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: like if you can the people all talk about you 572 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: projecting hurt, you could project healing as well. Definitely. Yeah. 573 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: You um, you open up your mom's cafe, and that 574 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: cafe is paid with No, not my mom's. It's called 575 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: MOBOs Cafe, Okay, but it's a pay what you want cafe. Yeah. 576 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: So we just made it proud to pay to the 577 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: end of the year and I just covered the bills 578 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: for the next three months so everyone can just go eat. 579 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: Where is it. It's in Valeo. Yeah, it's been there 580 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: for years. Yeah, it's one of my favorite spots to 581 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: go to. And the owner there is a big fan 582 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: of the platform. Man. He just man. I tossed him 583 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: an idea earlier this year to do like a one 584 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: day brunch, right, and a bunch of people came out 585 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: and pay what they wanted. So this time we're just 586 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: in a grander position and it's like, let's make sure 587 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: people can eat at the very least, we just want 588 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: to make sure everybody can eat. You shouldn't had to 589 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: go through the day hungry. I thought you bought the place, 590 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: Na but next year we're actually going into partnership. So 591 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: I just bought it out. We know that. Yeah, we 592 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: know you love a partnership. Yeah, partnership. What at what 593 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: point do you think you'll love when life's going great? 594 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: I think that's something that can happen any day once 595 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: the work is done internally, because life is actually exceptional 596 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: right now. Just some days I can't fully accept it 597 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: because I'm still working through things that I've done or 598 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, still trying to get past things that I 599 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: feel emotionally about the past. But once that's through, I 600 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: think I'll really be able to enjoy it. And I'm 601 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: currently on that journey of just working through all that. Now. 602 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: I bet you just helping you to appreciate the money 603 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: more because in famous you said, you know, money can't 604 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: money can't make you rich at all. Money cannot make 605 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: you rich. And yeah, man, I'm very appreciative because the 606 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: money is just a tool, you know, Like it allows 607 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: me to do a lot of things that I wasn't 608 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: able to do, like I could feed the community for 609 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: the next three months. Now, you know, some money to 610 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: me is just a tool. I don't really I don't 611 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: really splurge or get excited. I'm not impressed by most things, 612 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: so I'm really able to utilize this money to truly 613 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: help and cultivate my team and have my homies with 614 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: me and change my family's life. What was the significance 615 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: of dropping on your birthday? Man? Universal alignment? I don't know. 616 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: It just it just felt right. It just felt like 617 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: the time, you know, on my birthday, I always tried 618 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: to do something somehow, always end up giving a gift, 619 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, instead of giving one, And it just felt 620 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: like universal alignment. It was the right time. I feel 621 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: like I was. I'm just coming of age and life 622 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: is just kind of traveling right now, so everything just 623 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: kind of aligned for it to happen. And I'm still 624 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: waiting on the little Russell Symbol project. Come on when 625 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: he's that coming go on?

It's never really on music. 631 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: I don't really collaborate much. I like to just be 632 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: in my space when I create and make music, and 633 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: if I feel inclined, I send stuff sometimes, but it's 634 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 1: never really about music. To me, music is just an 635 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: extension of who I am and what I do. Any 636 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: produces you you want to work with.
