How you feeling, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.679 you know, honestly, I'm feeling like it's about time. You 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.280 know what I'm saying.

You know what I'm saying. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.640 Like the tour sold out in like a day, I think, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:08.880 you know what I'm saying, Like, what's that like? And 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.160 then you just announced the second show at the Novo 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.960 by the way, which is crazy, you know what I mean, Like, 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.400 how does it feel though each of you guys a 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.160 just see each other like you know what I'm saying, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.960 Like I know, for me, it's it's kind of like, uh, 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.639 you know you always question your ear in this music shit, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.680 and for me, it's just like I knew it, you 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.680 know what I'm saying, Like back then, just tap it 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.239 in with bro and you know what I'm saying, that's 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.920 working and you always knew it was something that was there. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.280 Was you know what I'm saying, real, real detrimental and 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.680 essential for the city, you know, and the sound you 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.720 know what I'm saying, to represent the West Coast, so 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.200 all they knew it was there, you know what I'm saying. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.839 I'm just happy to see it on Folk. Sure, that's crazy, man. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.839 Blast How you know when it came to approaching six 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.000 to two or six tape two, what was like your 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.960 approach from like, you know, you just put out insane EP, 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.640 insane bonus edition. You're on a lot of hooks. You 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.160 got the MAZI record going crazy, the Jason Cash record 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.960 is crazy. I'm sure that there's so much stuff that 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.120 we haven't heard that's gonna be on some big projects 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.320 as well. But like, what's like your approach when it 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.760 comes to approaching a collaborative effort as opposed to like 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.320 kind of what you've been doing the last year and 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.800 some change. I mean, for the main thing for me 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.359 was really just sticking to the script. And what I 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.240 mean by that is just like knowing what got me here. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.719 And I feel like what the people really wanted was 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.240 a six tape part two because that really impacted the city. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.920 You know, being up gave me the aliu for people 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.080 to even know who I was. Like, I'm always give 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.000 him as much credit as I can because who knows, 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.440 you know. But I feel like my my main motive 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.800 was just making the impact over anything just being as 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.680 far as a solo artist, I'd rather make an impact 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.560 in the city. Yeah, what about you, Like, you know, 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.279 you put out a project outside which was crazy. He's 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.640 on it obviously, But did you approach this any differently 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.200 than the first tape or was it kind of like 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.039 picking back up where y'all left? I feel like now 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.120 it was it was a lot more excitement because you know, 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.000 we kind of out the pandemic and you know, not 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.520 necessarily out it, but we got a little more freedom 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.920 and a little more capability to you know what I'm saying, 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.320 do what we want to do out here, do a 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.719 show and really, you know what I'm saying, touch the fans. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.239 So I feel like this time around, we was juiced 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.279 up and ready to pop back outside, and uh, you 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.960 could hear it in the music for sure. Was it 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.799 tough for each of you guys putting out a project 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.880 during the pandemic, because I mean, I know you did 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.880 like a pop up shop and you know, you guys 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.440 did did things, but like obviously it's not the same, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.040 you know, especially in LA because ship is really shut 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.360 the fuck down. It was at least like what what 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.160 was that was that? Like? How was that? You know 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.000 what I'm saying. Did you guys feel like, you know 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.480 a little disappointed with some of the stuff you weren't 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.520 able to do or did you feel like everything was 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.480 was you know, for what it was you guys maximized. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.560 For me, it was I ain't gonna lie. It was 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:00.000 a little hesitation, you know, but overall I felt it 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.560 played in my favor because my music is more like 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.599 melodic and laid back, just like R and B type vibes. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.320 So I feel like people, yeah, could sit with it more. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:16.000 But I wish, I wish that shit really was not 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:20.560 going down when I dropped that project. Yeah yeah, I mean, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:21.920 you know, it is what it is. Man. I think 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.560 we finally kind of on the other side of it, 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.839 even though I feel like everybody, everybody I know has 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.279 got COVID in LA right now. It's like the ship 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.839 came back in the last month. It's crazy. It's insane. Man. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.279 What about on the solo tip obviously, what are you 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.080 working on right now? Because like I said, man, you're 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.719 on everything right now, and I know people are wanting 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.520 like a full a full length Blast album and right 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.200 now just working on being the best live performer. Like 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.560 I feel like that's what I've been missing or what 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.880 I haven't been given to people like that, that live 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.479 version of Blast so exactly. So I'm trying to just 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.240 perfect the show and just rehearsing a lot. Ye her, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.599 sitting trying to work out, get right, get in shape, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.919 all that type of shit. Vocal lessons is that the 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.039 hardest part about performing is like getting out of breath. Man. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.280 I don't know what it was about the pandemic, but 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.240 I'll be tired now for sure. What about you, like, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.560 you know, are you are you working on your follow 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.200 up project outside? Yeah, you know, I'm working on a 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.760 few things. I feel like mainly something that I want 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.560 to do is really tap in with more you know, 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.600 LA artists and West Coast artists in general, and you know, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.560 kind of build something that you know, we kind of 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.040 ordered foundation for it seemed like now and ranch off 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.600 of that. I want to say, when Draco was here, 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.360 he said, you guys are working on a project, you 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.880 and Draco, right, so there's going to be a Draco. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.240 I mean he said this on camera just so you know, 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:50.240 so it's not like but but so there, so there 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.440 is a Drake. He played me a couple of songs 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.680 that aren't aren't out yet, but Draco and Bino is 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.040 on the way. Huh. The thing what I mean, Draco, 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.400 It's like we spend enough time in other words, you know, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.560 if I just jump in the book and chord something here, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.960 I'm perverse on this and you know what I'm saying. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.360 So we got very effortlessly. Too effortless. I saw like 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.240 I was you know, I always was a fan of 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.840 his style because it's so unique. But I really when 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.680 I saw him record really like, I was like, Oh, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.640 this dude's like an alien. It just goes in and 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.920 just talks and then it hits it on. Like I 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.400 saw one takes some shit that was crazy, and I 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.160 was like, Bro, that was the most effortless shit I've 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.760 ever seen like a rapper do. Like Yo, So is 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.719 that something that's like official or is that something you 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.320 guys are just tossing around that you guys haven't really 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.160 decided if that's gonna happen or not. It's something we 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.480 definitely want to do. Like how many records do you 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.360 guys have together that are not out countys? Like, we 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.120 got a lot of songs. I couldn't even tell you. Bro, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.480 It's like we just make that much music to its 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.640 just like we could really drop a couple of taps 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.480 probably right now if we wanted to. That's crazy. What 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.120 about you, Blast? Let me ask you this question, who's 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.960 an artist that you have the most songs with in 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:04.719 the can that we don't that that aren't outa It 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.880 would have to be Mazi. I got a bunch of 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.640 joints on Mazi. Yeah, you and Mazi. Low kids like 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.040 jay Z and r Kelly before before she got weird. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:18.800 No for real, Like, you guys have fucking records man man. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.959 And that's another project I think of fans would love 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.920 is a Masi Blast project. That would be crazy. Yeah, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.080 I'll be seeing that a lot on Twitter, Like Mazie 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.360 and Blast project would be crazy. But shout on Mazi 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.520 for sure. What is it about Mazi? You think that 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:38.000 you guys have such a great chemistry? I just felt 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.679 like I'm able to step into his world and really 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.720 like speak on it from like a narrator perspective. And 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.680 it's mostly just hooks when I collab with them anyway, 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.760 So I just feel like I'm able to speak on 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.680 that topic and just give it an overall summary. That's 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.480 That's kind of how I look at it in the 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.199 hook form. But yeah, the chemistry is there for sure. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.439 What was it like, like, you know, rocking with Russ, 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.480 Because I feel like a lot of people kind of 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.240 compare you to Russ in terms of like what you 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.360 guys bring to the table as an artist, you know 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.200 what I mean, Like you're like a one man show. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.000 You can record yourself and make the bead and do 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.160 everything right, and he's the same way. And you guys 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:18.760 put out a crazy record. You know what I'm saying, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.480 I'm sure that there's more where that came from. Yeah, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.000 I mean we only did two records. I don't think 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.240 the other one was gonna come out. Maybe it's gonna 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.120 be one of these random songs he drops because he 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.000 puts a song ding a record every week. His work 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.680 ethic is crazy. But yeah, shout out russ I for 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.120 sure mirror a lot of stuff he do you follow 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.120 a couple of you know, shift from his blueprint? Did 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.559 you you know a lot of people kind of question 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.840 like when you did the Red Bull thing initially like wait, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.720 this is crazy, like you could sign with anybody, which 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.440 is true at the time, you probably could have signed 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.040 with anybody, right, But it's worked out like amazingly. You 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.240 know what I'm saying. Is that a relationship we're gonna 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.280 continue with the next project. Yeah, we're talking about that 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:07.000 right now, right now. My deal is you know, damn 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:12.520 near damn. But definitely the relationship there is solid, So 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.160 I really don't see myself going nowhere else. And the 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.760 resources are like limits, the resources you get free red 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:28.360 Bull from this guy all red Bull, Yo. Yeah, it's crazy. 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.520 Because a lot of people, like I think, you know, 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.760 in La, the scene is this is probably the best 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.600 that it's been in a very long time. Man, as 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.079 far as camaraderie is concerned. You know, I was talking 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.280 to like Jason Cash and a few other guys just about, like, 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.040 you know, everybody in LA. It seems like they fuck 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.440 with each other, you know, And there's obviously politics that 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.600 come with a lot of shit, you know what I mean. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.040 But for the most part, I feel like you'll see 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.000 Rouchie getting on songs with Kaitlin, and you'll see you 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.000 guys doing a project together, and you're talking about doing 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.800 join with Draco, Like why do you think? Like now 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.920 the scene in LA seems so united as where in 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:12.480 the past it felt very divided. I feel like we've 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.160 seen it work, you know, in other places, you know 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.280 what I'm saying. We kind of see how they do 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.880 things and we're talking about you know what I'm saying, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.120 States didn't been on top for years now, you know 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.199 what I'm saying, and we kind of realizing that we 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.199 stronger together. So I feel like that's that's really the 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.439 spark of a lot of collaborations right now in the Wish, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.960 like Atlanta, Like Atlanta's had it for how long they've 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.200 moved together? Something crazy? What do you think blast? Yeah, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.559 I mean I just feel like it's it's that young 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.720 nigga energy. Like we we see what he said like 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.520 young Doug, like how he moved like a boss, Like 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.800 we feel like bosses now. So we're gonna run this 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.640 shit how we want to run it and shout out 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.679 to the ogs that paved the way. But you know, 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.440 we got to carry the torch for the next generation. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.080 So we've seen what they did wrong again, right, and 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.800 now we can add our sauts to it. You talk 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.400 about being a boss obviously got ego? Uh? Is that like, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.200 are both of you guys looking to sign artists or 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.000 have you signed any artists? Or is that something that's 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.040 even you know, you guys are still quote unquote new artists, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.440 but you know you came up under Nipsey, who you 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.960 know obviously laid the blueprint for a lot of shit 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.520 that a lot of rappers are doing nowadays. Is that 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.719 something you guys are interested in getting into most Definitely. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.920 I'm actually working with an artist right now, but we 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.000 just it's in the works right now. I don't I 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.800 want to run it out the right way, for sure, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.160 But shout out j Millian for sure. Oh fire? What 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.280 is what do you look for like in an artist? 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.720 Like if you if you make that decision to put 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.240 your standup on artist, like, what is the what are 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.160 the qualities? Man? My main thing is just not having 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.280 to tell somebody what to do, you know, so that 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.440 that natural work ethic and just consistency and of course 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:01.760 talent of course, but just not having a yeah, babysit exactly. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.559 And I feel like that's that's what I wanted around men. Yeah, 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.440 it's tough because you know, you have an artist that 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.280 has all the talent in the world. Yeah, but unless 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.960 they're told what to do, they're just gonna sit at 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.000 home and play NBA two care Call of Duty some ship. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.320 You know what I'm saying, shout out the artists game? 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.800 Where were saying J million? J million? Okay from out here? Yeah, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.080 that's crazy. How excited are you? You know you got 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.320 two shows at the Novo, first one sold out quick? 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.760 Are you going to be doing any tour? Ship?

I feel like 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.920 it's only right to kind of follow up with a tour. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.320 You know what I'm saying, I ain't. I don't want 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.040 to say too much about it, but coming to a 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.920 city near you for sure, And how excited are you 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.520 to finally do like because you've been doing some club ship. Yeah, 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.880 you've been doing like some radio ship, but this is 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:57.440 like your ship. Nah, Yeah, it's fire, especially like when 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.200 they know your words, it's a different type of thing. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.880 So I can't wait to see that they know my 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.840 words in New York, like, because I definitely wasn't expecting that. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.280 I feel like that energy give you the motivation to 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.040 go back and make some crazier ship. So they always say, well, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:17.360 you say you never heard a whack blast song in 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.640 your opinion, what's your worst song? Though that's out, that's out, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.840 What is your worst song? Like, what's your least favorite 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.960 blast song? I couldn't even tell you.

And we're not gonna 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.080 speak on that because I don't need people look at 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.920 that ship up on YouTube now if you know, you know, 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.200 it's still up to I don't know how to get 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.800 access to that YouTube account, but that motherfucker is up there. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.880 It's still up like under your name too.
