So you were born in Los Angeles. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.600 I was born in Los Angeles, raised in Los Angeles. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.120 I'm not like like when people come to l A 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.200 and they have like bad things to say about l A. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.400 I feel like, you know what y'all have been like 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.320 on the other side of Wilshire, like meaning Hollywood and 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.680 like you know, like where all the out of towners 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.039 be at. Like I'm talking about the other side of Wilshire, 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.800 like the real LA That's where I'm from. You know, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:48.560 it's a good Inglewood south Central like Midtown like Inglewood, 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.760 like Compton, like Long Beach, like. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.839 So what do you what would you consider what would 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.440 you consider Pasadena, Altadena. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.160 That's like, it's that's I mean, it's some homies from 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.080 over there too. You know, you gotta you gotta a 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.680 Pasadena guy in the in the booth right now, my 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.839 security Brown. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:11.000 I'm quasi Pasadena. I probably did like two or three years. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.400 And when I as a kid as. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:20.680 Well, I was also three, So it's not much I 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.440 think you needed it at that point. No, So it's 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.240 if I don't know, like I'm one of these people 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:32.360 that you know, because I'm in the industry and I 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.880 have a lot of industry peeps, I will say that 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.320 I think it's almost by default or fashionable for people 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:46.200 to sort of disavow or disassociate themselves from LA. But 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.040 for me, like I mean, whatever side you're on, either 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.160 the hood side or the Hollywood side or whatever, there's 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.440 always this thing of like, you know, LA is not real, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.760 it's superficial, it's fake and da da da da da. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.960 But you know, I'll say for myself, LA is like 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.000 probably one of four places that I still get excited 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.840 to go to. You know, Like now that I live 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.080 in New York, it's like I live here, so the 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.680 mystery's going up. Oh I'm going to New York. That 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.360 used to be a thing coming from Philly. But for me, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.080 I've always loved everything about going to LA and never 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.440 understood people that were sort of like cao whatever about it. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.320 Yeah, it depends on where you're from. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.200 That's why the song that you did about La that 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.599 was like the perfect way to describe it, like the 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.320 feeling like everything. But I think a lot of East 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.559 Coast people sometimes they come to La feeling in some 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:38.600 tipe of way because it moves slower. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.719 It's the opposite. It's kind of like the opposite. 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:41.920 It's more laid back. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.600 Like one thing I wanted to ask you is I 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.640 was talking This has been a couple of weeks ago. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.000 I was talking to Terrys Martin and he was like, Yo, man, 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.600 you gotta come to La. You gotta come out here. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.520 Like the air is different out here. That was the 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:53.000 exact quote. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.400 He's like, Yo, the air is just different out here. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:55.560 You need to come and lit's get in. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.000 Like Creative is always going to give you one of 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:04.719 them famous you know, terrorist quotes, legendary quotes. Yo. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.520 Man, that was his There is different, So like creatively, 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.360 what is it for you? 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:15.720 I mean for me, it's there like you said, it's 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.160 just like when I'm here, it's one vibe. Actually, when 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.640 I made that song La, it was here me and Kendrick. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:27.880 We both did up versus out here. But when you're 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.760 out there, it's definitely like a different vibe that you get. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.680 The beach makes a difference too. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.440 For sure. For sure, even though all the studios ain't 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.440 nowhere near to be right. 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.079 So what do you what are your views on New York? 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.360 Like when as an LA native, when you're traveling to 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:46.439 New York or whatever. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.319 Do you it's the same exact feeling that you you said. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.320 I think like I'm excited. I can't wait to get 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.320 out there and just touch the city. And you know, 0:09:55.480 --> 0:10:00.320 so you're the energy seven eight. I was out here, 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:05.440 me and my boy Parker, and you know, I was 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.520 like in the studios trying to, you know, see who 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.400 I could get a beat placed on it. At that time, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.560 I was just doing a lot of beats and I 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.920 sung and all that, but I wasn't like it was 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.480 more so like focused focusing on beats and all that. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:23.319 And that didn't work out. So I ended up going 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.240 back to l A mean, why g linked up? We 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.200 made Toted and booted and then you know everything from there. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.800 So I guess you should be noted that your father 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:39.960 as a member of Lakeside. Yeah, and like just growing 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.439 up in that he was was he original member in the. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.680 Group, He was an original memory he came later when 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:52.280 was his spirit all through the eighties, nineties, okay, two 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.960 thousands so around Like I guess when Outrageous was Yeah 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.000 by the time because he toured with that, Yeah it was, yes. 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.760 Okay, So were you a backstage kid as far as. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.880 Like, yeah, for sure, backstage kids, studio kids. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.560 Just to sall that period, Like what were you seeing 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.840 at in your formative young years. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.040 Young years coming up?

Wait, So as okay, forget my ignorance. I would 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.600 assume that fruity Loops has updated since the days of 0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:10.680 Little Brother, right. 0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:15.760 I think so the last time, nine, oh, thank you 0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:16.080 so much. 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:16.840 I appreciate it. 0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.120 Yeah, nine, he sent me a bat.

He 0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.080 had went back on fruity loops because for a while 0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.360 Knife was using the MP. He left and he went back, 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:31.640 he went to the MP.

That machine is kind of like what everybody is. 0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:44.120 I mean, that's the thing now, which is kind of 0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:46.800 it emulates the MP a lot, But that's I think 0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:49.240 that's what he's on now. But I think, yeah, the 0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:51.160 interface has updated a lot. 0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:52.200 Oh two. 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.120 I mean when we were doing it on a compact, 0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:59.200 I mean shit, I would hope this shit didn't upgraded 0:29:59.240 --> 0:29:59.640 since then. 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:05.000 So you so and in making beats?

Uh that 0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:07.759 one situation to get back to it. When Ygi got 0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:09.960 his first like ten bands and gave me four and 0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:14.200 gave Musty four and I saw him walk away with 0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:15.960 the rest of that money, it did something to me. 0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:18.719 You know. I felt like, all right, it's time to 0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:21.239 like get out here and like figure it out and 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:24.360 do my own artist thing.

My 0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:34.720 homie Fuego had sampled Swedish House Mafia and we flipped 0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:37.640 it on some like la like drums and you know, 0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:40.880 tempo or whatever, and I did a straight smash to 0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:45.040 it and it took off like on the radio stations 0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:49.480 like from you know, the whole California, Arizona, moving on 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:52.319 to Texas, and then it got shut down. We got 0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:56.520 sued for putting it on iTunes without clearing it with 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.239 Swedish house Mafia, which I thought it was clear, but 0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:01.120 somebody lied. 0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:03.319 And you know, I was going to say, how are 0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:09.360 you able to move mixtape stuff to mainstream radio level on? 0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:11.919 Because I already had tutored and booted and already had 0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:15.040 by this time, already had all the DJs now because 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:20.359 from tutor and Booted, I'm performing at all the any 0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:23.640 event whatever, we're there, like we're just pulling up to 0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:25.320 make them everybody. 0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.640 Who's your who's your god? Like when when when you 0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:29.600 when you got a new jowin that you're ready to 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:32.719 yeah put out? I mean now it's different because you're 0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:36.160 an established you know, who's the person. 0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:40.160 For l A? Like who who? I always tell everyone, 0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:42.160 like who changed it for us? And like who gave 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:44.040 us another chance? Because when you look at it, like 0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:48.840 after the game, there was no l A. You know 0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:55.279 what I'm saying on radio period. So DJ Charisma my 0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:59.280 homegirl out there, she is the one, like who got 0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:03.320 like everybody's music played. I feel like shout out to 0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:07.279 everybody else, but definitely DJ Charisma, He's. 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:08.440 The one who did it for She's the one who 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:13.480 different everybody. So that's important to you for LA just 0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:16.759 still have an identity, to still have a sound, to 0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:23.520 still have a figurehead representing because I just feel like, now, 0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:30.799 you know, between at least for my prime era where 0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:33.920 it was dangerous, between nine and no, it was life 0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:35.919 ThReD and you know, it's like east coast, West coast, 0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:39.759 you know, and then suddenly, you know, after after two 0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:42.560 thousand and two, just stop being so regional. And I 0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:46.919 know that the game's arrival. Yeah, the the Internet made 0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:53.040 everything regional or not regional anymore, and so you know, 0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:55.520 I know that's why the game was really being celebrated 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.520 because it was just like, okay, we're still you know, 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:04.879 but for the generation that you represent, even though you're 0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:09.319 kind of more like heartwise because you came in so young, 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:13.840 you're you're ahead on our level, but you also representing 0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:16.080 the next generation millennials or whatnot. 0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:16.480 Like. 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:21.080 Is that still an important thing to have? 0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:26.560 Like yeah, I think it's important to be yourself wherever 0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:31.560 you're from and to definitely represent your sound and your 0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:34.640 people and like, no, we're not all the same just 0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:36.879 because the Internet is like no, like I ain't trying 0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:38.919 to hear that. Like if you come from New York. 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:40.799 You're supposed to sound like you're from New York, Like, 0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:44.080 why would you sound like you're from l Atlantic because 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:48.520 we all have the Internet or Atlanta. That's corny in 0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:49.239 the streets. 0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:54.000 I was happy because at least for when you came out, 0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:58.200 I was shocked that. I mean, your your your first 0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:03.240 major single was like ninety eight beats per minute, which 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:06.520 as a deep you know, just during the period between 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:11.480 like two thousand and six and kind of now, uh, 0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:15.239 you know, everything was you know, trap level seventy b 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:20.240 pre pms and slower, and so I felt like, Okay, 0:41:20.320 --> 0:41:26.000 you're defiantly going against what mainstream expectations are and you're 0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:27.799 keeping it at that level. I mean, I'm just at 0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:30.680 a place where it's like ninety five to one hundred 0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:31.040 and ten. 0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:34.120 By like cookout jams, like it's like you get two 0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:34.759 step two it. 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:37.080 It was. It was actually danceable, you know what I mean. 0:41:37.160 --> 0:41:41.879 Yeah, that's always been you know. I guess like when 0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.640 you think about the LA sound, it would be doctor 0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:48.319 dre Quick, you know, when you think back back then 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:52.279 and now for us, you know, we had to like 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:54.720 when you're in the when you go to these LA parties, 0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:58.040 when you go to these Like I would say one 0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:00.480 of the things that runs the cultures to to this 0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:04.200 day has always been Timmy the Clown, right, and Tommy 0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:07.239 to Clown is like this guy that comes through with 0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:11.920 like this uh you know van or whatever and has 0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:13.799 speakers on it and these clowns get out and their 0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:19.440 clown dance. It's like everybody's music still yeah, still started 0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:23.560 when I was a kid, Like, hm, there's always been. 0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:25.440 Tommy the Clown going to parties out there. 0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:25.799 Yeah. 0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:28.680 Then wait then that that that ended up going into 0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:32.759 the what do you call that? The crump crumping and 0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:39.600 like they had a movie for it. Yeah, and if 0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:41.960 you pay attention, like they just speed up everything and 0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:44.880 like that's the LA sound. And then like even like 0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:47.480 the Bay, like their sound is the same thing, like 0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:50.520 sped up. Like, so that's where we come from. You 0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:52.960 there's that music too, you know. 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:56.000 But it must make you proud R and B wise, 0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:58.880 because it feels like the West Coast are really taking 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:02.120 chances with R and B. You know, between you Anderson, 0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:05.080 you mentioned Dundeecat, like do you feel that do you 0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:06.799 feel like an R and B and soul music? 0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:06.920 Did? 0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:09.000 Y'all are kind of doing things a little differently over there, 0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:09.880 and it's working. 0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:13.399 I feel like we're all doing different things.

And then 0:47:47.120 --> 0:47:50.560 it just hit me, oh maybe he didn't do it. Man. 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:55.399 So I'm like, you know, if I want a must beat, 0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:58.120 I'll go get a mustard beat, like I don't want it. 0:47:58.200 --> 0:48:01.400 But then I ended up, you know, according to it, 0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.239 and I started loving it. And then I'm like, all right, 0:48:04.560 --> 0:48:07.000 just take off the mustard drums, bro, Like, let's just 0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:08.400 bring back the original. 0:48:08.000 --> 0:48:09.520 Original joint, you know, a joint. 0:48:10.080 --> 0:48:14.400 And yeah, I'm curious about how because as someone that 0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:17.120 grew up in the nineties, I always thought of the 0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:20.040 nineties as an era where it's almost kind of like 0:48:20.040 --> 0:48:21.399 you had to be there, you know what I mean. 0:48:21.440 --> 0:48:23.400 Like I just like KNW Jack swing as much as 0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:27.640 I loved it. I didn't think it translated into now, 0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:30.040 like you know what I mean, it's just like versus 0:48:30.080 --> 0:48:32.799 like the seventies when Castle sampling seventies, shit, I got it, 0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:35.120 when Castle sampling eighty shit, I got that. But the 0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:38.560 nineties just seemed like the most unlikely eraror to be sampled. 0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:41.400 But yeah, but like y'all, I'm doing. 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:43.120 It like it's kind of hard to like sample it 0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:45.200 because the swing that's when they was using that word 0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.440 as like you said, Jack say, it's like a little 0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:53.520 Corney baseline exactly, So like that is not going to 0:48:53.880 --> 0:48:57.160 work right now, I don't think. But the hook melodies 0:48:57.200 --> 0:48:58.719 and like you know. 0:48:59.080 --> 0:49:02.200 So that's what is drawing people generation to it. 0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:09.360 Okay, the harmonies in my head, I'm okay, yeah, okay, 0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:10.880 I got it now, Yeah. 0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:12.520 Because I heard you. I mean I was listening to 0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:14.000 it and I was like, he's singing over only you. 0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:16.600 But I'm like, man, like that's I never would have 0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:19.520 thought that that could be reappropriated into now. I mean, 0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:21.000 but I mean, the ship is dope. 0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:25.160 Though somebody will figure it out, I still appreciate the 0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:29.480 Jack didn I think I think I've read. 0:49:31.800 --> 0:49:35.520 At one point I didn't realize this that were you 0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:41.839 not almost going to sign which chea sounds uh. At 0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:47.040 the time, I think Dominic Trenier had a label he 0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:50.480 used to manage D'Angelo or someone associated with Venus Brown. 0:49:50.920 --> 0:49:54.560 Was he was part of that label or whatever? Like 0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:57.960 were you at not? At one point in the Okay, 0:49:58.200 --> 0:49:58.919 then there was. 0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:03.319 A rumor yeah, yeah, I was curious to know. So, 0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:05.520 I mean, because you kind of cover a lot of 0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:10.799 ground in genres, So how did you decide on Well, 0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:12.560 first of all, how did you and whiz Lin c 0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:16.560 Cup and how did you decide on the label that 0:50:17.440 --> 0:50:20.000 could say, Okay, this kid does this, he does this, 0:50:20.080 --> 0:50:22.560 he does this, he does this. And they were like, Okay, 0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:25.160 we can figure out how to market this because I mean, 0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:26.839 you can do R and B, you can do hip hop, 0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:28.360 you can do like house or whatever. 0:50:28.840 --> 0:50:29.560 And for a. 0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:32.040 Lot of labels, whereas as a music fan, for us, 0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:34.319 that's like Wonderland, but for a label that shit can 0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:35.040 be a kiss of death. 0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:36.879 Say, like, what the fuck do we do with all this? 0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:46.040 So after after the House of the Hill, I go 0:50:46.120 --> 0:50:50.200 to death Jam back to Jeff Jam right, and at 0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:54.560 the time there's Karen Quack. I think Maxicu's just left, 0:50:54.840 --> 0:51:01.279 says Karen Quack. And there's Chris and Akute right and 0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:04.440 I played in my record and. 0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:05.560 You're playing Beach House. 0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.399 Beach House right right before I drop it, the first one. Yeah, 0:51:08.920 --> 0:51:11.200 I mean House on the Hill before I drop it. 0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:14.759 And they're like, Yo, it's incredible, it's dope. You got 0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:16.960 some crazy songs. But it's like, Yo, you got a 0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:19.799 house record here, you got you know this, you know 0:51:20.000 --> 0:51:22.319 slow song, you got this l a song here you got. 0:51:22.520 --> 0:51:24.319 It's like, you got so many things.

But when 0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:37.920 I make Beach House one, I I get cool with 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:43.080 this dude, Sean Barn and Atlantic, and there's this one 0:51:43.160 --> 0:51:45.120 song that I didn't include on Beach House one, and 0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:49.799 it was called Fumble, and I end up giving, and 0:51:51.000 --> 0:51:53.200 since that song went and they ended up making a single, 0:51:53.640 --> 0:51:57.360 ended up going up. Atlantic was like, all right, you know, 0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:03.279 let's talk. So then I have Paranoid and you know 0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:06.200 or not, and everything went crazy. Beach House one, Beach 0:52:06.200 --> 0:52:10.640 House two.

He hits me on the DM on 0:52:28.320 --> 0:52:30.879 Twitter and he's like, Yo, we've been playing Beach House 0:52:30.920 --> 0:52:33.120 one on this tour, the whole tour, meeting the guys. 0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:35.440 When I get back to La, let's work. He ends 0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:37.920 up coming back and we make like eleven songs in 0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:39.200 one night and. 0:52:39.239 --> 0:52:42.960 Uh twenty four hours, yeah, like less. 0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:43.560 Than twenty four hours. 0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:44.840 How do you work that test? 0:52:45.480 --> 0:52:50.600 Cuz like literally literally, like if you have a like 0:52:50.640 --> 0:52:54.839 a pack right now in your laptop and we put 0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:56.640 on the mic, I'm gonna just lay hook after hook 0:52:56.680 --> 0:52:58.799 after hook after hook after hook after hook after hook 0:52:58.800 --> 0:53:01.319 after then we're gonna come back. I'm gonna see which 0:53:01.320 --> 0:53:05.000 one is worthy of a you know, a verse, you know. 0:53:05.520 --> 0:53:08.600 And then so that's your songwriting process, Like you listen 0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:10.480 to the beat and then you'll concentrate on what the 0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:11.520 hook is first. 0:53:11.400 --> 0:53:14.360 Your hook or verse like whatever just comes out, like 0:53:14.480 --> 0:53:17.640 just put it on. I'm going there, just you know, 0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:21.560 blaze up and figure it out. And then some are great, 0:53:21.880 --> 0:53:25.239 some are good and worthy of like selling to a 0:53:25.280 --> 0:53:26.160 feature and. 0:53:26.320 --> 0:53:29.000 Are all right, give me so give me an example 0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:32.360 for a song like Paranoid. Yeah, you're first hearing the 0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:34.480 beat and you're just at a live mike. 0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:39.879 A Paranoid. That was like the third song I made 0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:42.080 on that beat. I knew that beat was so hard 0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:44.480 and like certain times you'll make a song that's just 0:53:44.520 --> 0:53:47.600 like whatever, but you feel like that beat is so 0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:49.960 crazy that I need to give it another, you know, 0:53:50.320 --> 0:53:52.839 another swing. And then I was like the third one 0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:56.040 I did on that and I just knew it. 0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:59.000 It felt like the beat felt epic enough that you 0:53:59.040 --> 0:54:00.080 had to put yeah. 0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:02.719 Like when I when then when that hook came, it 0:54:02.760 --> 0:54:04.319 reminded me of when I was a kid and I 0:54:04.400 --> 0:54:09.279 first heard like Poison by BBB. I felt like I 0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:13.759 tapped into the this is hard, but I'm singing you 0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:16.160 know what I'm saying. Like it didn't feel R and B. 0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:18.560 It didn't feel like you had to feel like how 0:54:18.600 --> 0:54:20.399 when you say you look at me and it's like, yo, 0:54:20.480 --> 0:54:22.319 you look this way, but you're supposed to be R 0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:24.359 and B. Like I felt like, yeah, I can look 0:54:24.440 --> 0:54:27.120 like this and still sing and like be me. 0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:30.080 By the way that was me, I see whatever you 0:54:30.080 --> 0:54:30.879 want to be black man? 0:54:38.560 --> 0:54:43.680 So how long will you let the how many minutes 0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:48.600 or days or whatever will you let time go by 0:54:48.719 --> 0:54:50.640 before you're just like, it's not coming to me.

I 1:04:48.760 --> 1:04:50.840 guess it's maybe like years ago, but you were talking 1:04:50.840 --> 1:04:55.840 about how you understand your pops more now that you 1:04:55.920 --> 1:05:00.440 have a daughter.

Like once I feel like 1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:36.840 once they get on you, they're just be on you 1:09:36.920 --> 1:09:39.960 and like they don't want to look stupid for being 1:09:40.000 --> 1:09:41.880 on you still figure out a way to like just 1:09:42.000 --> 1:09:46.519 make it solid, you know, without it even being solid, 1:09:47.640 --> 1:09:51.400 and he got, you know, put in the twist. But 1:09:51.600 --> 1:09:53.719 like I said, we're working on it, and God willing 1:09:54.360 --> 1:09:56.280 it's gonna happen. I swear we're working on it. That 1:09:56.360 --> 1:09:59.479 song is everything and free TC went gold finally, So 1:09:59.640 --> 1:10:02.559 shout out to Team Dollan and everybody that streamed it 1:10:02.600 --> 1:10:08.280 and bought it and hopefully purchase We're going to free TC. 1:10:08.800 --> 1:10:14.880 Yeah, that's the most important part running running a team. Now. Actually, 1:10:14.880 --> 1:10:16.080 I want to I want to bring this back to 1:10:16.160 --> 1:10:20.960 Sarah because I'll say that for me, one of the 1:10:21.000 --> 1:10:26.280 major most major disappointments I've ever had was watching their 1:10:26.320 --> 1:10:32.240 situation implode because for me, I always felt as though, 1:10:34.080 --> 1:10:39.200 UH tribes people people that move, people that move together 1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:46.200 UH can get to their destination faster than just individual artists. 1:10:47.080 --> 1:10:49.400 And if you look at the history, especially with hip hop, 1:10:50.200 --> 1:10:54.240 tribes move together. In other words, I mean Wu Tang Clan, 1:10:54.680 --> 1:10:56.920 you have to associate it with the individual artists method 1:10:56.920 --> 1:11:02.200 Man Redman, Yeah, like all of them as individual artists 1:11:02.200 --> 1:11:04.639 movement as a unit, and even for people that are 1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:08.639 not part of a movement necessarily, Like look at look 1:11:08.640 --> 1:11:10.920 at Puff's era. You might call the Jiggy era or whatever, 1:11:11.000 --> 1:11:13.200 but you still think of Flossie Rappers, you think of 1:11:13.280 --> 1:11:17.120 j you think of Puff, Fossy Kim like, and they 1:11:17.200 --> 1:11:21.080 all moved together the same with Native tongues, which was 1:11:21.160 --> 1:11:24.559 groups of groups tribe. They lost so old jungle brothers. 1:11:25.000 --> 1:11:29.000 And so when when Sarah came along, especially with them 1:11:29.000 --> 1:11:33.880 and their association with Jay Davey Georgia, Yeah, with Georgia 1:11:33.920 --> 1:11:35.200 Ann and all that stuff, I. 1:11:35.120 --> 1:11:37.639 Was like, I was just listening to Georgia like all 1:11:37.720 --> 1:11:40.639 Morning's amazing, man. 1:11:41.080 --> 1:11:44.160 Yeah, and it's like for me, I was so elated 1:11:44.160 --> 1:11:48.439 because I was just like great, Like someone gets the 1:11:48.479 --> 1:11:53.000 whole like gathering of the tribes together and and move 1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:57.400 it along. And then like, I mean, I have my 1:11:57.520 --> 1:12:02.840 thoughts on why who I mean, I'm not you know, 1:12:03.160 --> 1:12:07.679 like my fear was that because when I saw their approach, 1:12:07.720 --> 1:12:09.920 I was like, yo, they're so fresh. But I also knew, 1:12:11.320 --> 1:12:16.040 you know, like post j there's well sweat well swagger 1:12:16.160 --> 1:12:19.600 Jack and sort of became legal in terms of I 1:12:19.600 --> 1:12:21.640 mean you could say swagger Jack or whatever, but like 1:12:22.160 --> 1:12:25.439 where you just drink someone's milkshake and you know, they fresh, 1:12:25.520 --> 1:12:26.880 let me, let me see what they got going on, 1:12:27.360 --> 1:12:31.040 and then you know what I'm saying. And for me, 1:12:31.760 --> 1:12:33.800 I was like, and I told them, I said, yo, 1:12:33.960 --> 1:12:35.599 just I went you all to concentrate that a lot 1:12:35.640 --> 1:12:37.840 of people are gonna look at y'all like, yo, y'all 1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:39.439 the new thing out. I want to be down. I 1:12:39.479 --> 1:12:42.000 wouldn't be down. And I was like, just ignore it, 1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:45.559 get to the goal post first, and then branch start 1:12:45.840 --> 1:12:50.360 your associations and that bill and then kind of when 1:12:50.439 --> 1:12:52.800 Ya came along, I was afraid. I was like, oh man, 1:12:54.400 --> 1:12:59.839 I'm afraid. And I called what happened. I called what happened, 1:13:00.080 --> 1:13:03.280 and it's like they got excited and then and that 1:13:03.360 --> 1:13:06.280 album for three years and then yeah, I'm not gonna 1:13:06.280 --> 1:13:09.800 say the same. Also with uh with with uh, well, 1:13:10.040 --> 1:13:13.040 what would have been the odd future movement and that 1:13:13.080 --> 1:13:18.599 whole thing. So watching that situation implode, first of all, 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:20.439 how did that affect you? 1:13:20.479 --> 1:13:20.639 Really? 1:13:21.120 --> 1:13:22.760 Just like, uh, well, if that did, weren't, let me 1:13:22.960 --> 1:13:25.760 move on and you know, start my own thing, Like 1:13:25.800 --> 1:13:28.479 how do you keep your tribe and your family together 1:13:30.240 --> 1:13:32.639 and working and active? 1:13:32.800 --> 1:13:36.960 You see, like I've been through many tribes. Man, I've 1:13:36.960 --> 1:13:40.600 been through many tribes. I had to just keep on 1:13:40.760 --> 1:13:43.880 working when other people like give up and feel like, 1:13:44.040 --> 1:13:46.080 you know what, I put my all into this, I'm 1:13:46.120 --> 1:13:48.479 not about to do it again. Like I still have 1:13:48.680 --> 1:13:51.880 some more you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So now 1:13:52.040 --> 1:13:54.679 I found like the right drive, like the right team, 1:13:54.760 --> 1:13:57.280 and like that's that's important. 1:13:57.439 --> 1:14:00.200 Now because I mean your stuff, man, Like I want 1:14:00.360 --> 1:14:01.880 I was going to ask you was just like with 1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:05.360 the time Corey stuff, with that situation not working out. 1:14:05.760 --> 1:14:07.160 I know a lot of casts that would have called 1:14:07.200 --> 1:14:09.559 it quits right then, like because y'all were making some 1:14:09.560 --> 1:14:12.760 cool shit and a lot of times the thing that 1:14:12.800 --> 1:14:14.400 I want people to just I guess I kind of 1:14:14.439 --> 1:14:17.840 understand about your story. Like a big reason why we 1:14:17.840 --> 1:14:19.080 want to get you on the show is because I 1:14:19.080 --> 1:14:20.760 think like a lot of people don't really know it, 1:14:20.800 --> 1:14:23.120 Like they just see you as like the hit maker 1:14:23.240 --> 1:14:25.960 that where you are now, but they really don't know 1:14:26.040 --> 1:14:28.080 your grind. And like I remember the first time I 1:14:28.120 --> 1:14:30.680 played I played and diff for like a friend of 1:14:30.720 --> 1:14:32.240 mine and I'm like, yo, you know who that is? 1:14:32.320 --> 1:14:32.559 Right? 1:14:32.800 --> 1:14:36.960 He's like I'm like, Yo, that's tied do I'm like, no, 1:14:37.040 --> 1:14:39.840 that's Todd. That was before he was who he is. 1:14:39.920 --> 1:14:42.840 But this has been a process. You know what I'm saying, 1:14:43.640 --> 1:14:48.480 it's been it's been a grinds. It's really been a grind. 1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:53.400 So how did you not get discouraged to? Because I 1:14:53.840 --> 1:14:58.679 knew people now that even on their fifth attempt at 1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:01.439 climbing mountain they can't you. 1:15:01.479 --> 1:15:04.840 Know where I fucked up? Because like I put so 1:15:05.000 --> 1:15:09.200 much time into like doing music and learning music and 1:15:09.280 --> 1:15:12.120 only caring about music that that's like what I knew 1:15:12.120 --> 1:15:14.040 how to do, so that if I didn't do this, 1:15:14.120 --> 1:15:18.040 and it was like all right, okay, I'm selling weed 1:15:18.120 --> 1:15:20.240 and I'm doing all that, but like this doesn't really 1:15:20.240 --> 1:15:22.000 make me happy. I really have to kick it around 1:15:22.000 --> 1:15:23.479 these weirdos. 1:15:22.880 --> 1:15:24.519 Like like. 1:15:26.240 --> 1:15:28.720 You know, so I just stuck to this. And then 1:15:28.760 --> 1:15:34.559 once once YG's things started taking off, that was like 1:15:34.600 --> 1:15:39.400 so inspiring and then like all right, I don't want 1:15:39.400 --> 1:15:42.960 to make pizza anymore. Jacazo died then must have started 1:15:43.000 --> 1:15:45.439 taking off, and that was some inspiring. It's like, oh shit, 1:15:45.800 --> 1:15:49.240 we could do this. Like it was timing, Like I 1:15:49.320 --> 1:15:52.040 just came in at the right time, and you know. 1:15:52.400 --> 1:15:56.960 So technically all right, just treat me like a five 1:15:57.040 --> 1:16:04.439 year old with this question. Uh yeah, I'm lieing no. 1:16:04.600 --> 1:16:10.720 But in my head, like I thought that Mustard was 1:16:12.160 --> 1:16:17.000 starting a crust of a new movement. Yeah, but is 1:16:17.000 --> 1:16:21.040 he still rolling with the original cast of characters that 1:16:21.240 --> 1:16:23.439 came in the door with him, with YG, with you 1:16:23.520 --> 1:16:26.720 and anyone else that was associated with all of his 1:16:27.720 --> 1:16:31.479 sonic assault of twenty thirteen coming in the door? Like, 1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:35.519 are you still going to work continue to Yeah? 1:16:35.560 --> 1:16:38.519 I think like the sonics are changing and like everything is. 1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:44.640 You know, Mustard got his whatever he's doing YG. You 1:16:44.640 --> 1:16:47.280 know he's got four hundred Mustard's ten summers. I got 1:16:47.280 --> 1:16:51.240 the movement, and we come together as full hundred summers 1:16:51.240 --> 1:16:57.280 the movement. We're gonna work, Ygi and Mustard working right now. 1:16:58.360 --> 1:17:00.640 I just said, wyt GI's some new music. When I 1:17:00.680 --> 1:17:04.920 was out in Dubai like two weeks ago, me and 1:17:05.000 --> 1:17:07.559 Neil linked up and we just like made songs for 1:17:07.600 --> 1:17:10.080 a week. We said, wy G something. 1:17:10.560 --> 1:17:14.400 So what's your creative presence? Like do you write and 1:17:14.479 --> 1:17:17.160 record every day? Is it just kind of when you 1:17:16.640 --> 1:17:17.479 feel it? 1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:20.400 Like whenever I see something like this, I get excited. 1:17:20.439 --> 1:17:24.840 Man, Like the people, the room. 1:17:24.720 --> 1:17:28.280 The people, everything, like it's like this a couple million 1:17:28.320 --> 1:17:32.000 dollars right here, you know. Well besides that, like he 1:17:32.160 --> 1:17:32.680 was like. 1:17:32.840 --> 1:17:36.400 Oh man, I could we look at it? Like man, 1:17:37.600 --> 1:17:42.120 right right, man?

So now, like 1:17:50.160 --> 1:17:52.200 I finally bought a drum set and like I got 1:17:52.200 --> 1:17:55.599 it fully miked, and I got a baby grand and 1:17:55.840 --> 1:18:01.160 it's fully miked, And I've been buying a little drums 1:18:01.160 --> 1:18:03.160 from everywhere I go. I just came back from Kenya 1:18:03.240 --> 1:18:04.360 about to bring something back. 1:18:06.080 --> 1:18:10.839 You're performing in King just I want can I tell y'all. 1:18:10.920 --> 1:18:15.160 The like Live Nation is really planning their feet in 1:18:15.280 --> 1:18:17.400 the African market now, So like. 1:18:17.400 --> 1:18:20.600 I'm wondering why they've been so late, But it's cool 1:18:21.120 --> 1:18:23.760 late why they've been so late on bringing me there 1:18:23.800 --> 1:18:25.560 because I know I had that many fans, Like it 1:18:25.680 --> 1:18:27.799 was like five thousand people out there going. 1:18:29.120 --> 1:18:31.880 It was just like initially, I mean there's always been 1:18:31.920 --> 1:18:34.479 a desire for artists to go over there, but you 1:18:34.520 --> 1:18:36.920 would have to have a lot of money. Like there 1:18:36.960 --> 1:18:39.400 was a point where I think, like when mis education 1:18:39.600 --> 1:18:43.040 was really popping, like Lauren and the roots. We're going 1:18:43.040 --> 1:18:47.400 to tour Africa like in ninety, nineteen thousand whatever. But 1:18:47.880 --> 1:18:52.000 because there wasn't a Live Nation, there's not a promoter 1:18:52.120 --> 1:18:53.120 there and. 1:18:53.120 --> 1:18:55.639 The governments real money. 1:18:55.960 --> 1:19:01.760 Yeah, there's a lot of funny money over there.

And 1:19:26.320 --> 1:19:30.360 suddenly like Live Nation has reps over there and they 1:19:30.439 --> 1:19:34.920 come back. So now, yeah, like Africa is now an 1:19:34.960 --> 1:19:36.559 option for artists to go to now. 1:19:36.920 --> 1:19:40.920 Employing people, not just flying people in the best energy ever? 1:19:41.120 --> 1:19:43.080 Contin have you done South Africa yet? 1:19:43.760 --> 1:19:47.360 I haven't, Man, they want it, so I'll be out there, 1:19:47.439 --> 1:19:48.360 so y'all don't. 1:19:48.479 --> 1:19:50.519 Now you'll kill it over there there.

Because at first Campaign was a 1:24:37.360 --> 1:24:40.479 mixtape and then Atlantic put it out, Like how do 1:24:40.520 --> 1:24:43.800 you differentiate between what's a tape and what's an official album. 1:24:43.800 --> 1:24:45.559 I would have loved it to count as the album. 1:24:46.479 --> 1:24:49.360 That's some of my favorite shit is on campaign, But. 1:24:49.400 --> 1:24:52.719 I guess I didn't do my business right at the time. 1:24:52.840 --> 1:24:57.880 I'm learning teachers. Okay, you have to like go through 1:24:57.920 --> 1:24:59.960 the album cycle with the lawyers and all that, but 1:25:00.000 --> 1:25:01.680 before you can't just give them a record and be 1:25:01.760 --> 1:25:03.879 like this is the album whatever? 1:25:04.960 --> 1:25:05.320 All right? 1:25:05.320 --> 1:25:05.599 Cool? 1:25:05.680 --> 1:25:09.120 So so you basically said here and they were like, 1:25:09.160 --> 1:25:09.960 no mixtape. 1:25:10.400 --> 1:25:12.639 Yeah, Like because I wanted to drop it immediately, and 1:25:12.720 --> 1:25:13.479 like they. 1:25:13.400 --> 1:25:15.240 Were like, if you want to drop it immediately, you 1:25:15.280 --> 1:25:16.439 have to do the mixtape, you know. 1:25:16.680 --> 1:25:18.800 Yeah, Like it just couldn't get cleared in time or 1:25:18.800 --> 1:25:21.439 whatever the case. So you know, it came out as 1:25:21.439 --> 1:25:26.080 a tape and still I had campaign on it and 1:25:26.200 --> 1:25:29.599 Zaddy and you know some songs that people love so 1:25:29.640 --> 1:25:32.200 shout out everybody the stream campaign. 1:25:33.160 --> 1:25:37.280 But does but does that also mean uh that you 1:25:37.320 --> 1:25:42.960 get to control your uh mixtapes? Like do they own 1:25:43.000 --> 1:25:46.040 the master to the mixtape? Or is it just like like, 1:25:46.120 --> 1:25:48.920 how how is that I've never released a mixtape? 1:25:49.120 --> 1:25:51.679 Wow, that's fascinating.
