Man, you know right there, you know 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.440 what I mean. So it's crazy Man, what can I say? Man, 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.080 We're proud and exciting for people to get what we've got. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.360 How long was the clue? How long? Like I guess, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.200 when did the conception of this album start? How long 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.359 have you guys been working on this project? And I 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.200 know all of you guys are aware of how important 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.880 this is to Dungeon family fans, outcast fans, Goodie mob fans, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.560 fans are real hip hop. So I'm sure you guys 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.800 took the time. When did y'all start first working on 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:19.600 this project? To be freal with you, we did this 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.919 project in the last five months. Okay, so this was 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:28.080 under quarantine. Yeah, this was under quarantine. Oh shit, Okay, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.120 everything on this album is brand new. I mean, I 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.600 guess that makes sense. You know a lot of the 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.359 content that I heard, and then obviously the name of 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.640 the album, that would that makes sense? Yeah, so that 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.760 that does. Just lets you know, we once this quarantine hit, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.160 we made a decision that we was gonna come together. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.479 We got we got in a secret location on the 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.120 south side of Atlanta and once the Beat Star flowing, 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.360 the first record we recorded it was Survival Kit, the 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:56.479 one survival kit to the Avalanche. The Avalanche Ca. It 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.520 was just like we just kept going, We kept going. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:06.240 So it is again November. There's a long time coming. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.600 It's a it's a long time coming. Like you said, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.080 uh ce Lo the original nine on the project. You know, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.520 we've we've we've noticed how hard it is to get 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:24.160 an Andre versus fans over over x amount of years. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.200 You know. We sometimes will get one a year and 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.480 just be super excited. It might pop up on a 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.360 Jeez album or a remix or something. It's only right 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.880 that he's on the new Goodie Mob album. But how how, 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.160 how how the Andre verse come to be? And like 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.600 was it was it difficult? I know it's not difficult 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.880 because you'll have a family, but like you know, that's 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.880 an important verse to have on a Goodie Mob album 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.000 with organized noise behind the production. Man, we won't even 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.960 speak about the difficulties or whatnot. I mean, like you know, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.960 we were just only speak about the end result. I mean, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.760 like you know, and the end result is the camaraderie, 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:04.679 the connection, you know, the respect, the dignity, the love, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.239 you know what I mean, like you know, the blood. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.000 I mean, like you know that we it's a it's 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.280 a family thing. You know what I mean, like, and 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.320 you know, we we embrace each other's in differences. Man, 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.160 That's that's part of what made us very special. Man, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.760 Like you know, everybody's unique in their own right and 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.560 reserves the right you mean, like to be that you 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.120 mean like and voice that you mean like and so 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.640 like dreams one of those highly interitable people. Mean it's 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.880 an artist artist, you know what I mean. And I 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.720 also like to consider myself as such. But like since 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.520 you know, since we speaking of him, you know what 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.520 I mean, Like, you know, we've grown to grown to 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.000 just embrace the fact that man like something that he's 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.640 truly not into, you know what I mean, Like you 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.280 know he into it, and I've seen dog like just 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.960 just like you know, just for fun, I just tell you, man, 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.920 we see more turned down multi millions of dollars. Everybody 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.439 know that, you know what I'm saying. Like, we get 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.319 also abody to laugh at that because it's like yo, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.360 like you know, and that way the ball was set. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.400 So anything that he decaid that he don't listen to 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.400 want to do, who got no passion for it, you 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.439 know what I mean? Like, nobody couldn't really argue with 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.800 that because we don't see him turned out no. I 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.560 was so excited. You know, it's crazy because as a fan, 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.000 I was afraid that I was going to die without 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.000 ever seeing Outcasts perform in my life. And then a 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.800 few years ago they did that festival run and I 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.360 got to see them in Tampa and I was like, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.680 all right, that's off the bucket list, you know, But 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.559 I feel like there's been so much energy that's led 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.760 up to your guys' moment here. I want to also 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.480 shut out. I feel like casts coming together for that 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:40.160 festival run, and then the importance of the documentary that 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.480 came out about Organized Noise. I think that also brought 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.439 a lot of awareness to just that whole wave of 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.000 of what you guys brought to the game. And then 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.800 now we're here and we have a new album, Survival Kit. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.280 I want to go back to the early Dungeon Family days. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.520 There's a couple of people who a lot of people 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.840 don't know or associate with Dungeon Family, and I want 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.640 to kind of get your guys with some contexts and 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.400 some takes on being around because I heard Usher was 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.840 a part of the Dungeon Family at least around y'all 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.840 super early, and the same thing with Future. Obviously Future 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.760 just got a tattooed on his arm. But but can 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.400 you guys kind of talk about like like being around them, 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.280 like Usher obviously was a kid from what I I 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.600 think I talked the big boy about it. But you know, 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.719 just the important historical context of what's come from your 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.200 guys's tree. We could throw Usher in that, we could 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.640 throw Future in that. What was it like being around 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.640 those guys before we all obviously you know, knew who 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:47.240 they were. Who got it was family, man, You know 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.600 what I'm saying. It wasn't really nothing exciting about being 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.240 abound none of who was excited because we loved each other, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.400 you know what I'm saying. Nobody had really accomplished nothing 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.480 great in that particular time, So you know what I'm saying, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.240 The magic was just just being around people that you love, 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.360 people that support you, and people that support you know 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.360 what I'm saying. And they were younger than us, little brothers. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.480 They used to watch us, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.120 They used to come to the studio.

You know what I'm saying, period, hands down. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.800 Can't nobody argue with that, you know what I mean. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.280 And it's lovely to know, you know, we saw him grow, 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.360 and the good thing about it when we team this 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.719 day is still the love and respect there, you know 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.920 what I'm saying, because you know, he a real gentleman, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.199 a real guy, you know, real Dunblon family member. And 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.680 then you know what I'm saying, that's how we rolled. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.200 But yeah, man, Usher, I don't remember seeing him around there, 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.840 but I do remember seeing he wrote something on that 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.959 hot water hitter. He wrote Usher was trying to figure 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.840 out who was Usher? What was that? You know? I 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.880 never knew what that meant that I remember meeting him. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.640 He was a little kid. Yeah, yeah, he was a 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.679 little He was a child, just like oh yeah, who 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.560 else came out from the under that you didn't know 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.680 about it? You ain't say nothing about that's mister Barbara Valentino. Okay. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.079 They used to come over there all the time. Remember 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.360 they were little kids, you know what I mean, coming 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.600 over there. You know what I'm saying, sucking up game, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.839 you know what I'm saying, getting tracks, you know what 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.360 I'm saying, learning, learning the ropes, learning how to move, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.240 you know what I mean. And Bobbit held on to it. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.520 You know, I was closer to him because I knew 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.960 me and Koujoe and Gilt graduated from high school with 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.920 his older sister. So that's family. That's little Marcella to 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.160 the end, you know what I mean. So you know, 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.839 we all family, we all brothers, we all love each other, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.600 we all support each other. Man. That's just how it 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:35.840 is right here around the Dungeon family. Man, I did. Wow, 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.240 it's a beautiful thing to see it. Man, it's a 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:44.360 beautiful thing. What was for you guys, Like when obviously 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:45.880 you say you got any of this ad? All right, 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:51.240 we got to make an album having organized noise handle 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.480 the production? Was that, like I'm assuming there was just 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.640 a mutual understanding that like, if we're gonna do this, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.800 there's only one way we'll do it, and that's the 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.600 of them be behind the boards. Is that is? That was? 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.439 It was that that would have to be the easiest 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:12.839 decision I'm assuming with this project. Yeah at the time, Yeah, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.599 go ahead, Joe. I mean, you can say something to 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.240 it just felt good. Not they had the big motherfuckers 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.400 for beats or big motherfuckers for tracks. You know what 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.160 I'm saying. I have to worry about, man, how much 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.480 I charge for a track? Sit just one hundred thousand, 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.920 Oh damn for real. So they felt good, Man, to 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.000 just go back in the ring, man with somebody we 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.680 were familiar with, Man, go ahead, yep, familiar with is 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.440 all the way. I think that that that brought the 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.640 comfort down for everybody. It really gave everybody in this 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.680 group a real chance to sit back and say, Okay, 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:53.880 what am I gonna do? What am I gonna bring 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.160 to this project. At the same time, you and they 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.640 were doing the same thing amongst them, you know, sleepy 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.200 and rat you know what I mean, like and like 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.920 even doing the app like on some song. Bro, we 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.600 got up to nine weeks on just one record, you 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.200 know what I mean. So that's how that's how diligent 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.520 they was going. That's how they was working on a 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.440 night and day, you know what I mean. So we 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.400 get this beautiful project. At the end, it's like, man, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.720 I can't we can't wait till Friday. The thirteenth, so 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.080 people get hit the survival kick because we know it's 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:25.640 gonna be just like the rest of them. It's gonna 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:30.600 be a classic twenty five years from now. Yeah, you 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.640 guys have have classic in your I mean listen, man, 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.640 I listened to Soul Food still like it just came 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.840 out often. You know, you know it's it's it's a 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.440 timeless body of work, still standing, timeless body work. I'm curious, Celo, 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.280 I know that your solo success has been and shout 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.920 out to Get too.

But sel I 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.520 want to touch I know your solo success or ship 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.120 would obviously your solo your first solo project was crazy, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.200 then n Als Barkley came out, was crazy, and you 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.640 were a superstar in your own right. How how like 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.920 is it dope to be able to introduce fans of 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.000 yours that might not be Goodie Mob fans to Goodie 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.320 Mob twenty five years later, Because there are fans of 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.080 yours that might not They might be just surface level 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.640 Selo fans, Then I might not like dig into the 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.040 fact that you came from Goodie Mob. How dope is 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.360 that to bring a bunch of new fans to the party. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.120 Because my mom is a is a se Loo fan. 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:35.760 She don't know what the fuck Goodie Mob is, but 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.480 she knows who you are. You know what I'm saying, 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.480 right right? You know, I don't mind surface level Selo 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.000 Green fans, but I do mind superficial Selo Green fans. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.640 You know what I mean. And that's a difference, you 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.440 know what I mean. Like the ones that are truly 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.640 aware of me, they are aware the root of you 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.760 know what I mean, like in the forge, the way 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.160 it comes from. You know what I mean, Like you 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.680 know why you know, why not why not followed me back? 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.080 Why why not trace me back to the beginning what 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:05.120 I'm saying, Like you feel me? So you know it's 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.760 not it's not a conflict of interest, not not not 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.879 to me, you know what I'm saying, like or anyone 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.760 for that matter. You know what I'm saying, like you know, 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.840 like it's only weight to leverage with you know what 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.639 I'm saying, like you know, and weight weight distribution. You 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:25.240 know what I'm saying. So you know I believe that personally, 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:29.359 I believe that you know, any any win you know 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.240 on this side of it, I mean, like it's a 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.679 win for everyone. So you know, I believe that Nol's 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.320 Barcoley see little Green, you know what I mean, Like, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.760 and any success associated with it, you know, extends itself 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.560 from Dungeon family. So it's essentially and ultimately a Dungeon 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.920 family win. No different than when outcas it, like when 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:54.399 speak about flood be logo to to it's rather amal year. 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.720 How we got album of the Year. You know what 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.200 I'm saying. That's that's how I look at it, you 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.399 know what I'm saying, And and that that that's it. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.159 That's me trying to really keep that simple, you know 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.160 what I mean. But like, but no, man, it's it's 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.399 it's all relative and it's derivative of where something started 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.560 from a starting point, you know what I'm saying. So 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.760 you know, having the support system, having the success ratio 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.040 I mean, like, and the strength of the mob and 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.800 of the Dungeon family you know behind me. You know, 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.919 I'm saying, like is what propelled me to those heights. 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.600 You know what I'm saying, Like, you know, even if 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.520 it was used as a barama of something I wanted 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.879 to do better or do more of, you know what 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.399 I'm saying, but all in an effort to represent you know, 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.720 not only my family saying like you know, but our city. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.840 You know. I mean, like to the best of my 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.520 natural ability. You know what I mean, And so what 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.119 you hear is just the humility that that come along 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.520 with that. I mean, like, so like I wasn't I 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.440 ain't never really tripping and say you feel me, like 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.760 because my feet my feet in the dirt. Man, I 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.600 could the dirt. I'm just a I ain't an trip 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.160 off starter man. Like you know, I'm a tall tree, 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:07.879 you know what I'm saying, like or a tall and 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.960 even taller antilla. So I'm up there. Why pick up? 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.040 I pick up a signal, you know what I'm saying, like, 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.560 and I get the message and I transmit and transcend 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.320 and that's it. Hey, When I was coming up, man, 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.600 I remember as because I'm a I'm a diehard Outcast fan, 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.960 diehard Dungeon family fan. When when you guys all came 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:31.600 together for even in darkness, right, I thought that was 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.280 I mean, I'm even like I remember cool or Cool 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.800 Breeze is East boys finest album that watched for the 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:39.880 hook was my ship. I'm a huge Dungeon Family fan, 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.440 so when everybody got together and made even in Darkness, 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.000 it was crazy. Can you guys give me some like 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.760 a story or two about the making of the actual 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.119 Dungeon Family album, because I think that that album is 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.159 very slept on and doesn't get enough I don't hear 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.000 enough conversation of praise about how dope that project was. 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.320 That's a good example. And using Cool Breeze Eastports Gradies hit, 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.560 I mean, that's song watched with a hook man like 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.960 you know, that's when you know his project was launched 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:11.159 off the back of Organized Noise, you know, you know, 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.639 uh opening up the doors, you know, cutting the ribbon 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.240 on their new label, Organized Lowse Records. You know what 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:24.200 I mean, Like you know, uh Organized Noise, uh via Interscope, 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.040 you know what I'm saying. So that was that was 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:27.399 a big look, you know what I mean. And so 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.480 we all came together, you know, like with the camaraderie, 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.919 with the teamwork to make that dream work. You mean, 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:34.600 like for the homie, you know what I mean. No 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:36.840 difference than he showed up for us when he coined 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.320 the phrase dirty South what I mean like and linded 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.639 that them saying you feel me to uh to to 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.080 Goodie Mob's debut album, So like you, I mean, like 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.479 you know the love is reciprocated, you know what I mean, 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.320 Like you feel me always acknowledge it where it's due, 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.320 you know what I'm saying. So you know, like you 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.000 want no egos and that and none of that kind 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.159
