But it's it's more than just an album, 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I really I feel it, 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: like I just I feel the universe and the energy 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: like around it. Like I really feel like it's a 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: moment of triumph for me when I wasn't even trying 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: to celebrate it, you know what I'm saying. Like I 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: went through so much recording this project and just so 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: much in life, growing as a man. You know what 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying, and and and this album is a complete reflection, 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: a complete testament of who I am and have grown 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: as a man. You know what I'm saying. And I 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: feel it, you know, uh, paying off for me, you 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that I'm just trying to just 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: just ride the wave of that. You know what I'm saying. 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: It ain't about music or the Internet or numbers and analytics. 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to ride the wave of feeling good. 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: You know. You said one part of survival, one part 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: is remorse. So it makes me wondering, like how do 32 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: you celebrate your wins while while still being haunted by 33 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: like that Trump. It's hard to do it, you know 34 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because and I've always been that type 35 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: of guy, you know what I'm like early and it's 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: messed up to even feel like that. I have to 37 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: think like that man growing up. I started doing music 38 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: when I was sixteen years old. You know what, I'm sorry, 39 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: I started making money at sixteen year take. You know 40 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, Um, I wasn't able to you know, 41 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: grow into or just reach my full potential because I'm 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: always worried about what somebody else think or you know 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, what somebody else don't have, or what 44 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: I can't provde for somebody else. Because I've always just 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: been a person with a big heart. It's not like 46 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: that I had to do these things. I always wanted 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: to just look out for everybody around me, and I couldn't. 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That that's what survivals more 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: see it is ten years later, you know what I'm saying. 50 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm trying to say, Cholo, man, I've 51 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: never really been able to like celebrate my wins for real, 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: And and that's probably why I'm so humble, because I 53 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: don't live in a moment. I don't live in a 54 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: certain thing. I don't pat myself on the back. I 55 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: just try to get batter and like all right, it's cool, 56 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: it's cool. Um now I'm able to do it because 57 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: it's like now, it's like it ain't even it's this 58 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: is what I gotta do. Like now, I'm just trying 59 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to turn my life into a routine for real. Like 60 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: you don't mean just about because you know we are 61 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: getting lost in it. This ship, it's so much fun 62 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: doing we're doing. We're young, were able to like party, 63 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: do shows, club, do all this stuff every night. But 64 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's like it's a routine. 65 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: I hit so much fun less. I hate to get 66 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: up and be here right now. What I'm saying, like, 67 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: I can't really I gotta just make sure my life 68 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: is on point everywhere or you know what I'm It'd 69 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: be hard to explain, you know what I'm saying, because 70 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: it's like I can't get excited about none of this, 71 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, because I know where to get taken away. 72 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: I know at the end of the day, I gotta 73 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: be serious about everything I'm doing. You feel me, And 74 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: it's hard trying to balance that. That's really like all 75 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: in all its savals and mores. I can't even really 76 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: have fun doing something that's really fun to me my life. 77 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm blessed. I'm supposed to be having fun every day, 78 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But I gotta balance it, like, no, 79 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: it ain't fun. Yeah, I was tripping up if you 80 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: get what I'm saying now, I get it. I was 81 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: tripping off the song change because you know you talk 82 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: about like your PTSD in regards to I guess the 83 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: gun violence you saw that youth, but how it still 84 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: impacts you as an adult, getting your calls bulletproof because 85 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: you're afraid for your kids. Like I'm taking Lord that 86 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: merchant now for real. When I first played that song, Tan, 87 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: it was like whoa, But the reality of it is real, Like, 88 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, I believe in God, I'm cool. I'll be 89 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: feeling like I'm good and a lot of sense. It's 90 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: you're like, all right, but I'm good by any means. 91 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna do whatever necessary for me to 92 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: get home, and that's making sure I am secure, you 93 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. All that, But I think about 94 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: that type of stuff, like and I don't even want 95 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: to feel like I'll be having like wicked thoughts or 96 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: dark thoughts and nothing like that. But I really think 97 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: about when I got my kids, somebody will trying to 98 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: hurt me or what if this happened, you know what 99 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I hate to think like that, but 100 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: I got to because that's how I just make sure 101 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: that everybody's safe. You also talk about in one of 102 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: your songs, you know you're bigger than a lot of 103 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: artists that have bigger records than you, that are supposed 104 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: to be bigger hits. You have more fans, you have 105 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: more money. Do you feel like a lot of times 106 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: people don't necessarily what's the word I'm looking for, respect 107 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: you as you should be because of the groundwork that 108 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: you put in, the fact that you have a huge 109 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: fan base, you sell out all these conscious but you 110 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: don't have a number one record. Yeah, and it's crazy, bro, 111 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: And I don't really take it personally, but I know it. 112 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and I know this. It's 113 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: a it's a popularity contest. You know what I'm saying. 114 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: It it it ain't real. And it's like that don't mean 115 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't respect it. I respect the game, love what 116 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: I do. You know, I love the industry. But you 117 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: gotta understand, I know the industry don't love me back. 118 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: And that's cool. I feel like, not even the industry 119 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: don't love me back. I take that back. I take 120 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: that back. It's the industry is you can't take nothing personal. 121 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: You just gotta take the good with the bad, take 122 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: the punches and thud. Because what I mean by the 123 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: industry don't love me back is I know this industry 124 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: eat me a lot, It'll swallow me whole. One bad thing, 125 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: woman stake anything I do just being a human being. 126 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, so me just being myself growing. I 127 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: might make one mistake that just people don't like and 128 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: you would think it's over what you would feel like 129 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: it if you take it personally or you let your 130 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: emotions or anything getting the way. And that's what like 131 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: have to do with like a hit record or I 132 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: don't people.

I 137 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,559 Speaker 1: always felt like my lifestyle was bigger than my music 138 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: for a lot. You know, a lot of times I 139 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: was saying, that's why I just try to be solid. 140 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: Just stay a solid, dude, because at the end of 141 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: the day, if you just be solid, it don't matter 142 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: what hiccups come with the game or how long it 143 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: take you to grow.

For real, You 615 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: think that people don't respect the Chicago music scene the 616 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: way that they should. You know, I was. I was 617 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: just at that Chella's birthday party, my girl Chella, and 618 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: I've seen Sasha Gohard was there, Katie got Bands, you 619 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: know you was there. Um, But you guys have a 620 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: lot of great artists. But Charlemagne, you guys can have 621 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: this discussion about the whole chief key thing that went viral, 622 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: And so what are your thoughts on that you think 623 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: people aren't giving you guys the credit? Um, and you 624 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: know what, it's about accountability too. I don't.

We're not really like laying out marked the 627 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: way we're supposed to do films. And I'm just saying 628 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: that because I feel like we just need to unify 629 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: more Chicago. That's what we need unity, you feel me, 630 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: And that's what makes other cities stick out, you know, 631 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: like even New York. New York probably not like people 632 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: they say, like New York not really unified when it comes, 633 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: but it is you feeling like you could really see 634 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: fad ten artists from New York on stage together, in 635 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: a studio together. You're probably a him on one song. 636 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: You're not really gonna hit it in Chicago, if I'm 637 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: saying men or women, you know, And I ain't even 638 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: gonna say that we don't get the respect because people 639 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: see it. They just waiting on us to go crazy, 640 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: Like Katie got a song with Nicki Minaj right now. 641 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 1: You feel we always hit the respect that we deserve, 642 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: but we just gotta like on it, you know what 643 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm saying it, And I think that's what we're missing, 644 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, we just get too caught up in ourselves 645 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: from Chicago.

But it's 655 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: hard to be cocky and confident when you're really going 656 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: through some personally, but you don't want to, like I 657 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: can't fly, I ain't on never, I ain't never not 658 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: hearing money or not hearing things to be confident in cocky, 659 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: But that's just not my character, that's just not me, 660 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: you feel, I'm saying, So I gotta snap into something 661 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: mentally to even be a rapper or feel like a rapper. 662 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 1: You feel I'm saying it, and that just come from trauma. 663 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: And I feel like a lot of people from Chicago 664 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: gonna go through that, me and women. You feel me, 665 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: So I think that's what we're missing, you know, Man, 666 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: I feel like Chicago's always gotten credited music, while Yeah, 667 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: I've never los because we always got our credit. Like 668 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 1: Reesee always got it. He has Drake record, Rick Ross record, Dirt. Oh, 669 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: everybody always yay, like everybody, like everybody from our generation 670 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: to the generation before. We always got our flowers in Chicago. 671 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, I just feel like we never really capitalize 672 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: off of it because we not together. We need to 673 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: really get united. You feel me like, I don't know. 674 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: I really don't know, man, what you think? Jab you 675 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: gotta tell me you'd be spending that knowledge when you 676 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think we really need 677 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: to unify. As Yeah said, a lot of times, these 678 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: kids go on their own and they uh, they hard 679 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: because of the trauma. It's hard for them to trust, 680 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: you know. I've been around herb making out since he's 681 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: been fifteen, and around all the guys since they've been fifteen, 682 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: so I've seen them grow. But I think the difference 683 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: in what Herb has is that he has exacts that 684 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: have been around the business that can help him, that 685 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: can coach him and let him see what he needs 686 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: to actually see in order for him to grow. And 687 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: I think that as we continue to do that with 688 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: all these kids and more exacts come along, I think 689 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: that you will begin to see how we can grow 690 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: as a community in the business. I mean, we're extremely 691 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: successful as an independent label. We've done deals that nobody 692 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: has done, you know, in these buildings, and will continue 693 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: to do that. But it's how do we continue to 694 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: share and spread the knowledge? But these kids to grow. 695 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: So I think that as the executives get better and 696 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: we learn better, then we can lead better and you know, 697 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: these kids to the next level. And with like the 698 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: Champian on what he's saying, with like exacts or just 699 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: building bosses under you, you know what I'm saying, like 700 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: turning us into exacts and bosses because it's hard, Like 701 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: with trust, it's hard to trust each other, it's hard 702 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: to unify. Like say, for example, if we want to 703 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: put a tour together with all the artists, the first 704 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: thing you're gonna say is what the money gonna who? 705 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: You know, what I'm saying, we gotta learn how to 706 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: already protect ourselves financially, you know what I'm saying, in 707 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: the business and everything, so we could really unify and 708 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: get the money together. You know what I'm saying. It 709 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: ain't no big as a little use. Ain't nobody thinking 710 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: about how we're gonna get money together. But because we're 711 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna get money together and it's gonna make sense, you 712 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: feel me like they gotta be that simple and that's 713 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: your cousin, but that's your artists to her. Yeah, yeah, 714 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean the last time I saw that from Chicago 715 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,959 Speaker 1: when Dirk was up here with Vaughan, Yeah, you know 716 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: what I mean, and just Vaughn sitting in on the 717 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: interview and people were like, oh, shoot, that's barn.

Yeah, I mean, for sure, 719 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: and especially in the city, it's a win, you feel 720 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: me because people know where we come from. You know, 721 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: you know what it takes to be able to to 722 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: be here myself personally and forament, Like people don't know 723 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: his story.

Not saying he's not influential. I 754 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: just don't think he's one of the foremost influential rappers 755 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: of all time.

Like a lot of us 772 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: are not really able to reach out full potential because 773 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: we go through so much.
