Speaker 6: on the wall, writing a song, and then actually getting
Speaker 6: you know, producing, getting it, getting in front of a
Speaker 6: keyboard and get with somebody to make the beating and

Speaker 1: you get into it? Pretty Ricky?
Speaker 6: So I was shopping my my demo around just around
Speaker 6: Miami to all the local like Taed Lucas's and all
Speaker 6: those people, and I stumbled across their father. They were
Speaker 6: actually a group, and they was performing at a talent

Speaker 4: Onto the next I had that feeling.
Speaker 6: But at the time that, you know, we didn't really
Speaker 6: understand what the sound was going to go. So they
Speaker 6: were still right because they were still rappers and we
Speaker 6: had to figure out the sound part. But it was
Speaker 6: like we would we were We would rehearse, rehearse, rehearse,
Speaker 6: rehearse to open up for somebody. That's why I never
Speaker 6: shipped on the opening act. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: We rehearsed and get there. We can't put y'all loong,
Speaker 6: like damn.
Speaker 4: I rated perform sometimes.
Speaker 6: Sometimes yeah, sometimes we had to just all right, well
Speaker 6: we'll get we'll get at it on the next one
Speaker 6: or whatever.
Speaker 4: So y'all never showed on an opening act.
Speaker 6: But the guy from the radio station picked that song
Speaker 6: out of the show and played it one time, like
Speaker 6: on the night hour or whatever.
Speaker 4: Shout out to Teddy T for.
Speaker 6: Doing that and that that one, that one time or
Speaker 6: that one spin or whatever in the nighttime became the
Speaker 6: most requested song in the history of the station. So

Speaker 6: just starts spreading like wildflike yeah.
Speaker 1: So this song is getting played. Yeah, song is getting
Speaker 1: played before you'll have a record deal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this song is already like yes, up and running
Speaker 6: like we were own street team. We would go outside

Speaker 6: and we'll go to Orlando, then we'll go to Tallahassee

Speaker 6: groundwork in and then hard.

Speaker 1: beginning with the producers.
Speaker 6: Noah, No, exactly. They came on after something was you know,
Speaker 6: after they saw something. But yeah, it was us just
Speaker 6: being baby Blue in the studio pretty much.
Speaker 4: Wow. Hey, bro, I'm was a move.
Speaker 3: I'm liking the groundwork right, because that's the other part
Speaker 3: that is I think missing from from the new artist's
Speaker 3: standpoint is getting in the trenches and getting in the
Speaker 3: streets and really going to be seen and to be
Speaker 3: heard like that. Proving ground just builds a different type
Speaker 3: of artists. It creates a different type of longevity. You
Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying. It just it just builds something
Speaker 3: different that I think is needed for our Like, Like,
Speaker 3: by the time y'all got on the stage like a
Speaker 3: big stage, you had been on so many small stages
Speaker 3: and had done so many shows and done so many
Speaker 3: so much prepping groundwork, y'all was ready to go.

Speaker 6: that's just I'm pretty sure the Bay y'all got y'all,
Speaker 6: Uncle Luke created that kind of thing. So when we
Speaker 6: got in a position to do it, I mean, should
Speaker 6: we been doing it before the world seeing it on
Speaker 6: you know, on the screen tour, it's just it's it's
Speaker 6: some Miami ship.

Speaker 6: Jimmy Nchman was my manager, so I had him and
Speaker 6: you know, it'll be late payments, you know what I'm

Speaker 6: was just so much animosity between what he will be
Speaker 6: telling them versus I'm telling them, this is what's this
Speaker 6: is what's up with this?
Speaker 4: This their dad? So they finally it hard to believe
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty much on ice cube if this was n
Speaker 6: w A, you know what I'm saying. And yeah, the
Speaker 6: Late Night Special album we recorded it, and I went
Speaker 6: out to promote on the hot Line and those couple
Speaker 6: of records, and I was like, I'm not doing this
Speaker 6: shit no more, you.
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying. And they went solo. I went solo.
Speaker 6: They got it, They replaced me with another member, and
Speaker 6: I just got to work, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: That's when I started putting out that I did you wrong.
Speaker 6: I did get you at replies I did. That's vibe
Speaker 6: with Yogay all my street hits rock bottom with Lil Wayne.
Speaker 6: I'm around Lil Wayne every day. They want to sign
Speaker 6: me the young money, but I'm tied up into the
Speaker 6: contract with this guy.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: He trying to make it hard for me for anything
Speaker 6: that I do in terms of features and business. Like
Speaker 6: Birdman wanted me on a song called BOSSI on this album.
Speaker 6: I did the hook. He said, Yo, how much you
Speaker 6: want to want for this? The man told him I
Speaker 6: want one fifty my make up say no unless they're
Speaker 6: gonna give it to me. Shit like that. So there's
Speaker 6: a lot of songs that I was supposed to be on.
Speaker 6: Please excuse my hands. My background is still on that record,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, cause I recorded it, you know.
Speaker 4: Shit like that.
Speaker 6: Certain certain things I was supposed to do, they were
Speaker 6: they were kind of just taking from me.
Speaker 4: And yeah, that was a tough time. But I had my.
Speaker 6: Mixtape out and those songs is bubbling and I'm finding
Speaker 6: the streets getting money. I'm getting money now, I'm getting
Speaker 6: twelve five a show and I'm getting compared to what
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So I was getting I'm
Speaker 6: really getting money every So I was like, well, I
Speaker 6: don't care, I just put another mixtape song.
Speaker 4: I don't care. I never drop an album, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: And Craig them was like, man, So during our lawsuit,
Speaker 6: he tried to depose.
Speaker 4: Julie Greenwall, which was a bad move on his part.
Speaker 6: What he yeah, exactly after they gave him all that money,
Speaker 6: he did that, and then ship, did you wrong?
Speaker 4: You know, I went to radio digit wrong? Did you wrong?
Speaker 4: It is top twenty. So right now they don't know
Speaker 4: if they're gonna be atlant it gonna pick me up or not.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like, oh, you don't have no
Speaker 1: deal as a solo artist at this point, I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is your mixtape? Did you wrong? It's on your mixtape?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is this is me? That's my
Speaker 4: word shit.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, so then it's top twenty. Then Craig
Speaker 6: them finally says, okay, we're in. We're in the pleasure
Speaker 6: be business. And then you know they took that to
Speaker 6: like number two, and I signed that contract for that
Speaker 6: and my solo shit and basically.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget it. Baby.
Speaker 6: Blueting was going around saying, oh, well he's still signing
Speaker 6: to us, so you know the same shit easy he
Speaker 6: was doing the Ice QB. And for me, my ego
Speaker 6: is intact like nah, nigga, I wrote this record the
Speaker 6: top twenty. You know, y'all niggas had nothing to do
Speaker 6: with that. So you know, it was a thing to
Speaker 6: where his imprint would be on my album. If you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, why is this imprint on the
Speaker 6: on the charts? I ain't signing him, you know whatever?
Speaker 1: Whatever, Because Atlantic ultimately had to do a deal where
Speaker 1: he had probably had an override on your new project
Speaker 1: and so that he would allow them to do your
Speaker 1: solo album. So that's how you in a sense ended
Speaker 1: up at Atlantic still.
Speaker 6: Right, So I said, you know what, man that you know,
Speaker 6: I'm thankful for everything he did for me. If it
Speaker 6: wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now.
Speaker 6: So I gave him five hundred thousand dollars. Go your way,
Speaker 6: I go my way.
Speaker 4: And that was it, bro, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: That was it. Yeah. I never had to go to
Speaker 4: court after that.
Speaker 6: We never we never had to go to court. But
Speaker 6: I could have. You know, I had the money, you
Speaker 6: know I'm saying I have. I had the money to
Speaker 6: bury this guy.
Speaker 4: But I just forget.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm unforgiving, bro, I'm a forgiving person, you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So I just kind of looked
Speaker 6: at the futures like, you know what, I'm doing this
Speaker 6: and doing that.
Speaker 4: You can keep that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, brought your way out, my.
Speaker 4: Way out of that, Yeah for sure, ship listen it.
Speaker 1: So people don't understand about the music business too though,
Speaker 1: Like you you really have to. You gotta read that contract,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Why I wouldn't they brought myself out? Started off in debt.
Speaker 6: Put it like that, started off in debt Atlantic.
Speaker 1: You know, because they needed theirs back.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I started off in debt, some million dollars
Speaker 6: in debt before my I don't even my first album
Speaker 6: even come out.
Speaker 1: Come on speak on that because that's the that's the
Speaker 1: that's the business side of this. That is the business
Speaker 1: side of this. Yeah. Where now you have Now you
Speaker 1: have this debt that you like you said, you're starting
Speaker 1: off before anything because you had to get that half
Speaker 1: a millionaire and then obviously whatever the budget is or
Speaker 1: whatever the advance is from Atlantic for your new for
Speaker 1: your new solo project, right, that's what you in.
Speaker 4: The red on that.
Speaker 1: I'm red that's before you ever even record a song.
Speaker 4: Well, I had did you wrong out? So did you wrong?
Speaker 1: I'm talking about as far as you're so.

Speaker 1: on performing or doing anything. I'm just like my brothers

Speaker 1: we do slow anything. I had sang live anywhere anything
Speaker 1: probably damn to ten years. Yeah, Anute, I had not
Speaker 1: been on the stage, performed or doing that type probably
Speaker 1: about ten years, like for real. And I'm knowing what
Speaker 1: versus is. And I'm knowing because I'm the nigga in
Speaker 1: the comments on everybody else versus talking shit something like
Speaker 1: oh now now I'm wanted the niggas they gonna be
Speaker 1: talking shit about. Give us this scene from your lens,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, of that night and where we had not
Speaker 1: to No, kid, what's at the at the Novo Downtown
Speaker 1: La gang Banger Central, Man, It's all the gang members
Speaker 1: from the last thirty forty years look.
Speaker 5: Like no R and B backstage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't don't.
Speaker 1: Tell us about that night man. From your perspective.
Speaker 6: From my perspective, we never got a sound check of nothing, right, Okay,
Speaker 6: we go start there, so we get the call, okay
Speaker 6: with the dude versus all right, cool, were flying there over,
Speaker 6: it's time for sound check. No sound check, no sound checking,
Speaker 6: little sound check, right, So we finally walk on the stage. Right,
Speaker 6: these niggas got dancers.
Speaker 4: A band, they got all kind of shit going, and
Speaker 4: we're like, well, we only came with the DJ. I
Speaker 4: thought this, that's what this was about.
Speaker 6: So then that's when it became my competitive you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like, oh, these niggas trying to pull
Speaker 6: on you know what I'm saying. And then, like you said,
Speaker 6: we never got the mic check or whatever the or
Speaker 6: whatever the case may be.
Speaker 4: So Mario brought a sound man and he stood out.
Speaker 4: He's an incredible singer.
Speaker 6: But you know, I just wish everybody would have had
Speaker 6: the same you know, the same uh, the same rollout,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, And you know, I just
Speaker 6: wish that everybody could have shined the way that we
Speaker 6: know that everybody can you know, the way that we
Speaker 6: know everybody should have shined. But for me, I mean
Speaker 6: that's just how I seen it. I seen it as
Speaker 6: it wasn't. It wasn't one hundred percent fair, But you
Speaker 6: gotta work with what you got. So hey, I got
Speaker 6: I got a lot of his.
Speaker 1: It got aggressive, yeah, yeah, aggressive, aggressive side of it though.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think that there was too much liquor?
Speaker 4: Nah? I think it was. See that's the thing about me.
Speaker 6: They think I turn up right now as common as
Speaker 6: I am right now as somebody walked into something happened,
Speaker 6: I'll turn up right now.
Speaker 4: Just it don't. It got nothing to do with no liquor,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. I just think that it
Speaker 4: wasn't fair. Bro, it wasn't fair.
Speaker 1: And they weren't on yet though, right because for you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mario and Mario and Mario weren't on yet.
Speaker 4: I'm talking.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about what I'm talking about with them with
Speaker 6: with my set, within our set, the Niggas came with
Speaker 6: a whole band who had a band and.
Speaker 4: And and dancers and all kind of ship raggie dancers. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they had like a whole production.
Speaker 3: Remember j Is he was walking back and forth across
Speaker 3: the stage. He did it at least sixty two times,
Speaker 3: and I was like, where the fuck is Rajie going?
Speaker 3: Where does Jie keep on?
Speaker 4: Because we because we ain't see the set. We ain't
Speaker 4: see I didn't see the settings. I walked on.
Speaker 1: Nobody else was walking across. You didn't see the team
Speaker 1: you walked on?
Speaker 6: Yes and nothing and yeah, no sound. I ain't literally
Speaker 6: just walked on the stage, and it's like here we go, nigga.
Speaker 6: We got to dances, and we got damn nigga. You
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, I'm I'm hot now.
Speaker 4: And then and then.
Speaker 6: They like skipped the skipped the song or turn or
Speaker 6: something like that, trying to play. I was like, y'all
Speaker 6: ain't gonna sit up here and play, you know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying, Like, no, bro, And that's just how I
Speaker 6: felt about it, and then formed the group. Yeah, we're friends,
Speaker 6: we're friends, but it's it's competitive right now. It's like
Speaker 6: we're playing basketball. We shipped talking basketball, we ship talking football.
Speaker 6: We shipp talking R and B too.
Speaker 5: Like I was like, somebody's gonna fight.
Speaker 4: And we got the most views too.
Speaker 3: Though, people asking me, and I was like this, listen,
Speaker 3: you can look at it one of two ways, right.
Speaker 3: You can look at it as you know, the aggressive
Speaker 3: side of it and the competitive side of it kind
Speaker 3: of overshadowed you know what these guys are capable of musically,
Speaker 3: I said, Or you can look at it as like
Speaker 3: that many people tuned in, that many people are now
Speaker 3: streaming their songs, that many people are now going to
Speaker 3: pull up to their shows. And I said, that's the win,
Speaker 3: because when you go into a versus space like the
Speaker 3: verses was more so kind of created in rap format.
Speaker 3: Sure wasn't totally designed for R and B guys, So
Speaker 3: R and B almost had to figure out a way
Speaker 3: to be seen, you know what I'm saying, to to
Speaker 3: have interaction in that space, and you guys organically did it.
Speaker 5: Y'all.
Speaker 3: Wasn't trying to be anything. Y'all was just really then
Speaker 3: people didn't know that. People didn't know that no niggas is.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the confusing part for most of
Speaker 1: the public, is not realizing that the artists that you see,
Speaker 1: no matter what genre of music they're doing, we actually
Speaker 1: all come from the same place. We come from the
Speaker 1: same neighborhood. One just chose to rap about it and
Speaker 1: the other chose to sing about it our hoop or whatever.
Speaker 1: But we all literally come from this same places. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna react. We're going to react, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? I just think that, Oh well, y'all s
Speaker 1: you know you sing love songs. I'm like, listen, man,
Speaker 1: I've been to music ban it's a long time. I've
Speaker 1: seen more R and B niggas fire on somebody than anything.
Speaker 1: Than anything, I won't even just say that, than rappers.
Speaker 1: I've seen more R and B niggas get off than
Speaker 1: any other genre of music.
Speaker 4: I don't know why, but for some reason, who's we
Speaker 4: thought about the whispers?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the whispers they weren't playing, whispers wasn't playing,
Speaker 1: had them things on them?
Speaker 5: What's happening?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: That sound check and what I don't wait.
Speaker 4: To the show.
Speaker 1: What I mean, you don't think the temptations to whoop
Speaker 1: your ass, we're shooting. You'll think, oh, this is stump
Speaker 1: you out, stump you out your niggas, worry about David Robin, David,
Speaker 1: Oh this Ben and put your ass in the choke
Speaker 1: hold man but it's just it's just interesting how that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think Versus kind of
Speaker 1: put a spotlight on that side of it of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well you know he's still.
Speaker 4: Young black men out here. Don't play with them, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean? They could go left on you
Speaker 4: now cold.
Speaker 5: Now what's the business right now? Pete? What's what is?
Speaker 5: What is? What is the movement?
Speaker 4: Right now? You what I'm doing right now? Well, I
Speaker 4: got like six albums recorded.
Speaker 1: You're gonna record, I record? You know what.
Speaker 4: I don't believe in waste the music.
Speaker 6: Okay, So if it ain't gonna get put out the
Speaker 6: right way, okay, I'm gonna just hold off into you know.
Speaker 6: You know, it's a lot of people to say they're
Speaker 6: gonna do stuff. We're gonna do this, we're gonna do this,
Speaker 6: we're gonna do that, and it never happens. So I'm
Speaker 6: just to a point to where I'm about to just
Speaker 6: you know, I gotta kick.
Speaker 4: The door down.
Speaker 3: Brother's always R and B money, man, I got to
Speaker 3: kick the door down. It's always your brothers, man. It's
Speaker 3: always the people who actually show up for you every time.
Speaker 3: For sure, every time you you you are not without
Speaker 3: my brother at all by any means. Yeah, it's your
Speaker 3: world now for sure. For sure I would love.
Speaker 6: Here and then and then it's and then it's and
Speaker 6: then it's also figuring out this new this new thing,
Speaker 6: you know, all these fake streams and all like that.
Speaker 6: You know, it's it's different than you know, having relationships
Speaker 6: at radio and getting your record play at radio and
Speaker 6: then going to touch the people.
Speaker 4: And it's so much it's different now, So to figure
Speaker 4: that out that's the hard part.
Speaker 5: Adapting.
Speaker 3: That's not it's not for new artists. There is, you know,
Speaker 3: the different the conversation that involves a lot of that.
Speaker 3: But you've been able to build an audience like you've
Speaker 3: been able to build, you know, a venue full of
Speaker 3: real people.
Speaker 5: That's that's all that matters, right.
Speaker 3: Because you can They can manipulate streaming numbers, they can
Speaker 3: manipulate YouTube numbers, they can do all that and only
Speaker 3: two hundred people pull up. That's when you know, ain't no,
Speaker 3: ain't no true connection. You've had a true connection with
Speaker 3: the people who are now waiting to be reconnected to you.
Speaker 3: And that's not rocket science. That's you showing up with
Speaker 3: that shit, and that's putting it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, like I said, for me, yeah, it come to
Speaker 6: the shows, so we know proof that these people out
Speaker 6: there After the shows, I said, let me look at
Speaker 6: see how many new followers I gained.
Speaker 4: And it just stays the same, you know what I mean? Like, bro,
Speaker 4: it stays ain't like something wrong with this?
Speaker 5: No, no, something Bro?
Speaker 1: We are I look at I look at my Instagram
Speaker 1: and do the same thing.
Speaker 4: That ain't it. It ain't that, ain't it. I can
Speaker 4: tell you.
Speaker 3: Listen, there are artists that thousands of people show up
Speaker 3: to see that are sitting on fifty thousand Instagram followers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our money in in that box, Our money is
Speaker 1: in those streets.
Speaker 6: We get in to conditions I should get back to.
Speaker 6: How do you get back to connecting with the streets again.
Speaker 5: It's really really simple.
Speaker 4: Your road to.
Speaker 1: Listen, the road and the radio.
Speaker 4: That's it. That's it, that's it.
Speaker 5: Listen.
Speaker 1: They are still they are still doing love that the
Speaker 1: radio is still doing.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Come meet, come pull up and see they're still doing that.
Speaker 1: Because most of the artists in this space now too,
Speaker 1: they they don't want to meet the people for some
Speaker 1: odd reason. I don't know what that's about. Like, how
Speaker 1: could you not want to meet your fans? How could
Speaker 1: you not want to embrace and have conversations with your fans?
Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, Like that's always been
Speaker 1: a part of you know how this thing goes for
Speaker 1: somebody to tell you, oh the experience they have from
Speaker 1: your record or oh when you wrote that one song
Speaker 1: and all that like that that how could you not
Speaker 1: want that? How could you not want that real interaction
Speaker 1: with the people who have given you.
Speaker 4: This life everything?
Speaker 5: And you do that.
Speaker 4: I do that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: That's how you So now it's just about servicing your artists,
Speaker 1: your audience, and that part is don't hold on to
Speaker 1: the music. And I'm speaking from my own experience now
Speaker 1: moving back into the artist space and me and Tank
Speaker 1: having those conversations where you're like, bro, like, let the
Speaker 1: people have the music, let the people hear the music.
Speaker 1: Like it will never be what it was. The music
Speaker 1: business has changed absolutely, But what it does is it
Speaker 1: keeps you current, It keeps you fresh into space because
Speaker 1: there are people who are waiting for new music, are
Speaker 1: waiting to hear something that you're doing.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: They love what you've done absolutely, but they supporting that
Speaker 1: and they you know what I mean, And they gonna
Speaker 1: tell a friend in this. But if you stay consistent
Speaker 1: at it, because that is the one thing that the
Speaker 1: music business has changed in When Lil Wayne and Chris
Speaker 1: Brown Trey Songs decided to just start unleashing, going all
Speaker 1: the music, take all of the music. Everything I'm recording
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, you getting on Friday. They just it became
Speaker 1: a fucking what do you call that? When the snow
Speaker 1: just builds up an avalanche of music and they rolled
Speaker 1: over everything and really became superstars off of things that
Speaker 1: years before, or Michael Jackson was giving you every two years,
Speaker 1: every three every this artist is giving every two every
Speaker 1: It was even crazy for person to give you an
Speaker 1: album every year. Now it's like, yo, I'm giving you
Speaker 1: these albums quarterly.
Speaker 5: Rap two albums in the same year. We was like,
Speaker 5: what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Three albums in eighteen months, right, it's crazy like that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but now the consistency is now the new currency. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and with you having six of them, come on, bro,

Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, it's there.
Speaker 1: These people want it that, they want that news got.
Speaker 4: A piece of mind, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 4: some songs like that.
Speaker 6: Yes, come on, man, you're telling me it's like now
