Speaker 1: what going on? Bro? Appreciate you? Yes, sir man, it's
Speaker 1: been a You've had a hell of a year so far.
Speaker 1: For real, we're kind of just getting this started. But
Speaker 1: you know, like all years, there's a lot of plot
Speaker 1: and involved beforehand, one hundred percent. Man, talk about like,
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, Milky Way. It feels like
Speaker 1: it's been a few years. When would Milkyway come out
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen? Twenty eighteen? Yeah, so it's been like I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you've been active since then, you know, uh the
Speaker 1: Dream album. Yeah, so it's not like you ain't been
Speaker 1: you know, But but I'm sure this body of work
Speaker 1: that you're cooking up has got to be worth the
Speaker 1: way you know you're taking it's always trying to like
Speaker 1: evolve and grow and bring something new with every project.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, obviously everyone had a year
Speaker 1: where we had to take a step back. But I
Speaker 1: kind of put that to Youston and just try to
Speaker 1: keep reinvaying my style and keep adding, you know, keep
Speaker 1: adding new levels to it. Yeah. It's crazy because on
Speaker 1: Cole's album, like when I first press played, I don't
Speaker 1: think you could see the features on there. When I
Speaker 1: don't know, however, I was listening, I couldn't see any
Speaker 1: of the features, right, So I was just pressing play,
Speaker 1: And then I went on Twitter and I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: that was Boss on the like yeah, dipping into your
Speaker 1: melody bag, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to go out the comfort zone.
Speaker 1: I was down there with Cole. That's one thing, you know,
Speaker 1: we were kind of preaching, and throughout that whole process
Speaker 1: we actually did the Jackie. Like those same like three
Speaker 1: four days that I was down there working on on
Speaker 1: that record happened during the off season sessions. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was like Cole has like a very set time
Speaker 1: he'd be in the studio, so he got a lot
Speaker 1: of other things going on. So we had like thirty
Speaker 1: minutes left. I think we had just finished doing like
Speaker 1: some background vocals on one of the records. Might have
Speaker 1: been like let go my hand, and he was like, yo,
Speaker 1: let's pull up a beat and just like do something
Speaker 1: in like thirty. So you pulled up a T minus folder.
Speaker 1: First beat he played was the Jackie and we just
Speaker 1: looked at each other like yeah, like say less like
Speaker 1: pull that one up, got on the mic, and you know,
Speaker 1: just challenging ourselves not to to feel some things, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, as opposed to like be so
Speaker 1: clinical with the writing and just trying to push yourself
Speaker 1: out of that comfort zone like I usually the type
Speaker 1: of sit there and like get all my words right
Speaker 1: and the be like all right, you know, I'm ready
Speaker 1: to do my verse. And it was like, you know
Speaker 1: whatnot just get on there and do what you feel,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, do like what comes to
Speaker 1: you like naturally, and then you know, you can refine
Speaker 1: it from there and go back and work on how
Speaker 1: clever you want to make and whatnot. But there's certain
Speaker 1: things you can't replace, you know. And that's something like
Speaker 1: I'll even watch like some of the some of the
Speaker 1: younger kids, Now that's all they do, you know, that's
Speaker 1: all they do. They'll just go fill out the beat
Speaker 1: and the booth, yeah, and worry about feeling in the
Speaker 1: lyrics and later yeah, right right right, and there's there's
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's something learn from everyone's
Speaker 1: process for sure, and now something I was able to
Speaker 1: kind of apply to myself, like, you know, just just
Speaker 1: let loose a little bit, like don't even think about it, like,
Speaker 1: what's the melody that comes to you? What? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, what's the feeling that comes to you?
Speaker 1: And you know, we did the Jackie in like thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: so that's kind of new for your process. Usually you
Speaker 1: would just like, yeah, I'm gonna write some ill shit, right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go as hard as I can, right, even
Speaker 1: if I have the melody, Like I'll sit there and
Speaker 1: I'll write the song out, you know, and then I'll
Speaker 1: go like lay it down. And this was just more
Speaker 1: like all right, what are these first four bars? Boom?
Speaker 1: What are the next four bars? Okay? Now, how do
Speaker 1: we you know, take it somewhere different, you know for
Speaker 1: the listener? How do we keep it dynamic? Right? It
Speaker 1: was a It was a fun process for sure, and
Speaker 1: Cole was there the whole time, like just like you know,
Speaker 1: trying to keep pushing me out my comfort zone. That's
Speaker 1: how we did a lot of his records, and then
Speaker 1: it just kind of spilled over into the yn't say
Speaker 1: like like for his records, like was did he have
Speaker 1: like a vision for where you were like fitting in
Speaker 1: on the joint? Yeah. So I did this song called
Speaker 1: Risk with FKJ french Q we juice shout out. My
Speaker 1: guy did that like probably year and a half ago.
Speaker 1: And on that I was doing a lot of those
Speaker 1: melodies and stacking my vocals and you know, doing a
Speaker 1: bunch of that stuff. And when we came in to
Speaker 1: work on Col's album, he was like I want that
Speaker 1: buyas you know, He's like I want to I want
Speaker 1: you to work on that more and like bring that
Speaker 1: energy to these songs. So me and me and k Quick,
Speaker 1: who records me. He's a producer, engineer, all that, but
Speaker 1: he's also like an incredible vocalist, you know, so he's
Speaker 1: really good at kind of pointing out certain things or
Speaker 1: you know, try it in this tone, try it in
Speaker 1: that tone. We just sat there every night and we
Speaker 1: figured it out. Like whatever song Cole gave us, we
Speaker 1: would just sit in the room and be like, okay,
Speaker 1: like let's bring the wave to it. Yeah, It's crazy
Speaker 1: because the one thing that I took like from like
Speaker 1: the process for off season that I really appreciated about
Speaker 1: somebody who's as big as Cole is on the mount
Speaker 1: right now, you know, like, was it seemed like he
Speaker 1: really was extremely dedicated to making sure he was better
Speaker 1: at wrapping this go round, like you know, Like I
Speaker 1: watched the documentary, I was like, Yo, this fool was
Speaker 1: like really like almost like in the gym, like in
Speaker 1: both ways, because he was training in the gym as well,
Speaker 1: but like on some bar shit as well. Like I
Speaker 1: feel like this is the sharpest he's ever been on
Speaker 1: like lyrically, and it's crazy to say that so so
Speaker 1: so many years in. But did that inspire you and
Speaker 1: like your album or like the way you're kind of
Speaker 1: approaching I mean, yeah, it definitely, especially when I had
Speaker 1: spent most of the year just working at the crib
Speaker 1: by myself, and I'm a very collaborative artist, so it's
Speaker 1: good to get in again with Bro. And then also
Speaker 1: just to see like, you know, here's here's a dude
Speaker 1: who has the world and he's like so focused every
Speaker 1: day on getting better, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: what's your excuse? Yeah, that'll definitely like just light a
Speaker 1: fire under your or know, just make you feel like
Speaker 1: I can and I should be doing more. One hundred man,
Speaker 1: do we have there's the speculation that you're supposed to
Speaker 1: announce your album with Elliott One. This is gonna come
Speaker 1: out after that? Oh no, you are you announcing an
Speaker 1: album or Okay, I'm saying we're talking with Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not announcing, but we're getting any album before the end
Speaker 1: of the year, of course. Yeah, before the end of
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, for sure. I've just been in the
Speaker 1: zone though, honestly, where I try to be intentional with
Speaker 1: everything I do, and when I look at it and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'm very proud of the albums
Speaker 1: I've made and and when I look at the challenges
Speaker 1: that I've set for myself. It was a song like
Speaker 1: the Jackie. You know, I got another single in the
Speaker 1: works that I'm really excited about, and I'm just kind
Speaker 1: of challenging myself to make bigger records. Even like what
Speaker 1: we said earlier about the energy is different around this one.
Speaker 1: You feel me it's like trying to challenge myself, like
Speaker 1: what is the next frontier in my own career? What
Speaker 1: is the next you know, what are the next levels?
Speaker 1: I want to hear? What of the next thing is?
Speaker 1: I want to challenge myself as an artist to create,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm always going to be in love with making
Speaker 1: a cohesive body of work. You know, that's going to
Speaker 1: give you like my mentality. But a lot of what
Speaker 1: I've been challenging myself to do is like make make
Speaker 1: these big records. How do you elevate exactly? So that's
Speaker 1: that's been like a major focus on mine. I've tried
Speaker 1: to really stay intentional with that. Yeah, No, I think
Speaker 1: like I you know, I think you're you have an
Speaker 1: incredible fan base, but I still think in terms of
Speaker 1: like the grand scheme of who gets talked about your
Speaker 1: slept on Still yeah, absolutely, I agree, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, There's not a lot of people who have
Speaker 1: an album better than Too High a Riot. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Thank you, But like I think that
Speaker 1: I mean that You're right, like you gotta like, yo,
Speaker 1: you gotta get some people to come to the park.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't a lot to yourself. You gotta
Speaker 1: look at where you are, where you want to be
Speaker 1: and the things you gotta achieve to get there, you know.
Speaker 1: And then and the beauty of it is like the
Speaker 1: art of it is doing it, you know, within your sound,
Speaker 1: within like all the songs I make and even the
Speaker 1: Jaggie like my fan base don't hear that and be
Speaker 1: like what the hell? Yeah, like what is he doing? Man?
Speaker 1: It sold out? Not for sure? If you heard Milky Way,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a direct like percnding of of
Speaker 1: that kind of sound and that vibe and that energy.
Speaker 1: So it's like that's the fun part of it. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: like I know my sound. I figured out my sound,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the fun part of the artistry
Speaker 1: is just to keep expanding what you can do and
Speaker 1: what you can achieve, you know. So that was like
Speaker 1: the next frontier for me. I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 1: like I want to make some hits. How good did
Speaker 1: it feel to get your first solo plaque? Incredible? I
Speaker 1: got caught a couple. But because tribaling gold right, Tribal
Speaker 1: platinum platinum? Yeah, that's my job. Night job went gold.
Speaker 1: I don't see down bad is platinum and Costa Rican
Speaker 1: now I think too, that's huge man, Yeah, thank you, bro.
Speaker 1: You pull it to the crib. You got your your own,
Speaker 1: your own plaques. Yeah, that's it's definitely. It's a blessing, bro,
Speaker 1: It's a blessing. Like shout out to the whole team.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been at it for a minute and
Speaker 1: it you know, I'm somewhere where people really believe in
Speaker 1: that artists development. You know, you gotta get ship is
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing because you know a lot of labels
Speaker 1: they're not you know what it is, man, They're they're
Speaker 1: looking for that well, and they're also looking for something
Speaker 1: that's already on fire so they can just put some
Speaker 1: gasoline right, something that's already viral. Yeah, dream Dreamville. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's done a superb job of growing each artist,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It yourself or Ari or
Speaker 1: cars Like, it's like, man, it's like you see your
Speaker 1: guys is just come up. Yeah. Everybody's got a touring base.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone's got an album naked tour, several albums
Speaker 1: they can tour. You know, we're kind of like in
Speaker 1: phase two now. It's like Marvel, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's the MCU. It's just going in the phase two.
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying. It's crazy. It's a good a good comparison. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh you mentioned like being a home a lot during
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and shit, like how did that affect you?
Speaker 1: Just you know, because some people I know fucked with
Speaker 1: their mental like especially being an artist, you're not able
Speaker 1: to you know, you probably would have been a road
Speaker 1: like there would have probably been some sort of Dreamville tour,
Speaker 1: right for sure, you know what I'm saying, Like, you
Speaker 1: know what I think creatively, it helped me tap into
Speaker 1: some very like introspective raps that I was I was
Speaker 1: missing in a sense because my life prior to that
Speaker 1: was like six seven years on the road and kind
Speaker 1: of ingesting all these road experiences and they're coming out
Speaker 1: and just gave me a lot of time to just
Speaker 1: sit back and reflect and like dig deeper on things
Speaker 1: I wanted to say. But you know, in the same token,
Speaker 1: I was missing the other side of it. I really
Speaker 1: like traveling is like probably the biggest part of inspiration,
Speaker 1: one of these other country cities whatever, liking with people collaborating.
Speaker 1: So I missed that a lot. I missed out a lot.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think you just got to make
Speaker 1: use of every situation. So for me, it was like,
Speaker 1: all right, how do I dig deeper? How do I
Speaker 1: talk about what's really on my mind? How do I
Speaker 1: talk about the things I know, you know, other people
Speaker 1: are going through right now, just being isolated and feeling stagnant,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, man, shit, I mean
Speaker 1: I have my fucking kids and my wife, and I
Speaker 1: still feel like this shit sucks. Yeah, especially being in LA,
Speaker 1: because LA was like super shut the fuck down. Were
Speaker 1: you out here most of the pandemic? Yeah, most of it.
Speaker 1: I was gonna go to New York. I was gonna
Speaker 1: go back home. But every time I'm called IM just
Speaker 1: be like, bro, like, don't even do it. So like
Speaker 1: I flew my parents out here and had them out
Speaker 1: here for like a couple of months. I mean, that's dope.
Speaker 1: You probably got to spend some time at your parents. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my nephews, like you know, they're like two and like one,
Speaker 1: and shit like forced you to hang out with your
Speaker 1: family more for sure, for real for sure, and even
Speaker 1: like your close friends, you start to realize, like them,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things we don't even talk about,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I learned more about
Speaker 1: some of the dudes I've known fifteen twenty years in
Speaker 1: the past year that I did knowing them like you
Speaker 1: know most of my life. It was just people were
Speaker 1: in like a more vulnerable mental state and you feel me, like,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's why you gotta support system facts. Man.
Speaker 1: Now It's crazy because like outside of just getting fat
Speaker 1: as fucked during the pandemic, I just just trying shit.
Speaker 1: Bro was like I tried mushrooms during the pandemic. The
Speaker 1: hell yeah, I was just had a good ass, a
Speaker 1: few good ass and trips. Yeah yeah, yeah, like that
Speaker 1: shit is you know, I think, like you said, like
Speaker 1: there was pluses and minuses, and it just depends on
Speaker 1: your perspective, cause some people let that shit really like
Speaker 1: just take them out, you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: take them off the map. Yeah nah, I mean you
Speaker 1: just you know, like we say, you gott keeping perspect
Speaker 1: Everybody was going through the same thing, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean those times where, like I said, you have
Speaker 1: all these plans and all these thoughts and all these
Speaker 1: goals and you gotta realize, like nothing's advanced for anybody
Speaker 1: right now, like just chill, enjoy this moment. I even
Speaker 1: started thinking we need like once a decade, if it's
Speaker 1: not a pandemic something like that, just give people like
Speaker 1: six months off. Feel me, like, let everyone work from
Speaker 1: home for six months and everybody regroup, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Get a bad idea though, once a decade. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. You say you had some some so you
Speaker 1: you fuck with the psychedelics? Yeah? Acid as a mushrooms?
Speaker 1: What is? I've never done acid? I heard it's like
Speaker 1: more like extremely visual. Yeah, I feel like so it
Speaker 1: lasts a good bit longer than mushrooms. You're high, Its
Speaker 1: probably twice as long the trip. But I feel like
Speaker 1: sometimes with mushrooms you could kind of get into like
Speaker 1: a dark spot in the trip where you're like facing
Speaker 1: these these demons or whatever you've been running for, and
Speaker 1: then you know, usually come out the other side of
Speaker 1: a better person for it. With acid, like you always
Speaker 1: know it's the drugs. You know, like you'll start tweeting like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's the drugs. Man on to the next. I would
Speaker 1: be like questioning your whole life's purpose. Take too much,
Speaker 1: just some moments where you really have to look yourself
Speaker 1: in the mirror. Acid is more like I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: some ass I can go to the bar. Yeah, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you go to the bar, you can go around strangers.
Speaker 1: I could have a full, like intellectual ass convo with
Speaker 1: a random stranger on that. So the mushals, I kind
Speaker 1: of just want to be with my core group for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I had a bad trip and I was in
Speaker 1: Texas tripping the fuck out, man, when I decided to
Speaker 1: go bar hopping after I ate a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: shrooms and an an edible yeah, bold, worst decision in
Speaker 1: my life, you bowld. I was freaking fuck out. It
Speaker 1: was a start looking at people in the bar like
Speaker 1: this dough faced or something crazy. No, there was a
Speaker 1: lady dancing and her face looked like you remember on
Speaker 1: cops back in the day they used to have their
Speaker 1: faces scrambled. And there was this bitch dancing in front
Speaker 1: of us, and uh, I was with I was with
Speaker 1: Freddi Gibbs, and I was like, yo, friend, is is
Speaker 1: that bitch just we're both on shrooms. I was like,
Speaker 1: is you see her face? And he's like, we saw
Speaker 1: the same thing. He's like, Nah, it's all fucked up, bro,
Speaker 1: And then some dudes came in. I was paring as fuck. Bro.
Speaker 1: I thought, bro, I was, I was. It was a
Speaker 1: bad look that I'm never doing shrooms ever again in
Speaker 1: like a social area. It ain't that. But you could
Speaker 1: do acid. You can do d MT nah. I have
Speaker 1: so much of it in my freezer that my homie
Speaker 1: got me on my birthday. You have a bunch of
Speaker 1: your freezer. I have a bunch of my freezer right now.
Speaker 1: You're don't have to get a crack pipe, you know that, right,
Speaker 1: I'm like trying to trying to you know, I like
Speaker 1: to do psychedelics, like when I when I'm either reached
Speaker 1: a certain like usually like if I wrap up a project,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it seems like I'm
Speaker 1: putting a bowl on like a moment in life, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I like to pick my moments
Speaker 1: or maybe if I'm starting a project kind of deal,
Speaker 1: so I like to pick. You gotta pick and choose
Speaker 1: that ship because yeah, it's almost like you you do
Speaker 1: it as as you like when you feel like you
Speaker 1: need it exactly, like maybe if there's a wall or
Speaker 1: something or that you can try to break through, or
Speaker 1: you know what, right right, or if it's like all right,
Speaker 1: what's next? Right? Exactly? Like, give me a little bit
Speaker 1: of clarity. Where am I going with this? This guy
Speaker 1: got a freezer for a DMT I do right now?
Speaker 1: Just that moment hasn't hit me yet. That shouldn't hit me.
Speaker 1: That sh it's like I heard it. I've never done DMT.
Speaker 1: I want to do it. I just can't get my
Speaker 1: fucking hands on any of it. But oh shit, I
Speaker 1: got you. I say you got some. But also I'm
Speaker 1: like scared because that's what I'm saying. That's where I'm
Speaker 1: at with it too, Like I don't know, you literally
Speaker 1: have to freebase that ship. And then I heard for
Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes, you're just gone. Yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: want no one around with you, like you're gone. Like
Speaker 1: I had a homie who said he he had like
Speaker 1: a six month like like lived out six months of
Speaker 1: his life and his DMT trip and then woke up
Speaker 1: and it was only fifteen minutes long. He said he
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend, he had a job, all kinds of shit.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. So that's why I'm like, damn do I
Speaker 1: I don't do I want to just I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: exactly where you at with it, Like I want to
Speaker 1: do it, sitting there. You know what I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: be opened up my fridge and get some ice and
Speaker 1: that's just be staring at me. But I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I'm ready. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm ready. I don't know if I'm ready
Speaker 1: to maybe when I put this next album out, Okay,

Speaker 1: was an email thing? It was like in the midst
Speaker 1: of you know, COVID, so no one was really like
Speaker 1: linking up at the studio like that. But yo, I
Speaker 1: heard during first of all, obviously the the Dreamville sessions
Speaker 1: or legendary at this point everybody who got flown into town.
Speaker 1: And but I heard that Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh pulled up.
Speaker 1: Chris pulled up and made some beats. Yeah he's he's
Speaker 1: kind of hard too. I ain't gonna lie. He was
Speaker 1: in there with like with Cole and T minus and
Speaker 1: and Diesel shout out the bros. Was that like the
Speaker 1: most random dude to pull up. No, nah, who's the
Speaker 1: most random? Random dudes? Chris Bosh Making beats is pretty random,
Speaker 1: Chris Bosher. I mean that is kind of up there
Speaker 1: on the random scale. But like a Conn was in
Speaker 1: there at some point with like his family, like just
Speaker 1: chilling the whole Milwaukee Bucks. Joannis was there. Ye came
Speaker 1: through nice. Not making any beats though, Nah, but they
Speaker 1: catered like a whole dinner for us. Oh shit, yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. It was a love shout out to the
Speaker 1: bucks Man for real. I mean, I got issues right now,
Speaker 1: but we're up to one right now. You know what's
Speaker 1: crazy about the Bucks is I was telling this to
Speaker 1: my homie. Were at the game of Game two, like
Speaker 1: earlier this week or whatever it was, and I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: you know, I hated people on the Clippers right, like
Speaker 1: you know Sports eight, which is not the same as
Speaker 1: like actual hate, right. I couldn't stand fucking Yokic on
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. Uh. You know, I'm a Lebron fan, so
Speaker 1: I kind of was indifferent about the Lakers series. I
Speaker 1: was like, look, worse case scenario, Lebron wins. He's my
Speaker 1: favorite player, even though I've hated the Lakers my whole
Speaker 1: life because I'm from Phoenix. When Lebron went over there,
Speaker 1: I looked the other way for my sports. I feel
Speaker 1: you on that. But the Bucks I got nobody to
Speaker 1: like hate, Like I really fuck with Yanni's. PJ Tucker
Speaker 1: used to be a son. Yeah, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I like how Drew Holliday Drew Holidays dope, Like
Speaker 1: he's very humble, you don't talk shit. Chris Middleton is
Speaker 1: like someone who like has come up in the league
Speaker 1: has been so crazy. I'm like, Damn, I don't even
Speaker 1: I can't even. I want a chance fuck the Bucks
Speaker 1: at the game, but I can't. I don't feel it.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I feel you on that.
Speaker 1: They definitely got that kind of makeup. Like you're like,
Speaker 1: who hates Gianni's He's like the nicest dude. He stayed down,
Speaker 1: he re signed. You know what I'm saying, Like, it's crazy,
Speaker 1: what what are you? A Nick fan? For sure? So,
Speaker 1: I mean, shit, man, the Knicks fucking you know that
Speaker 1: was unexpected. I don't even you know Nixon six. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie when when y'all won that one
Speaker 1: game in the series and acted like it was the championship.
Speaker 1: Outside I knew it was over, it was, I know,
Speaker 1: but the city needed it this series. The city needed it.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, that's that's about as
Speaker 1: good as we've been. Oh for sure sometimes so you
Speaker 1: know the city I riled up, and then it was
Speaker 1: it was reopening. It was like the perfect timing. Everybody was, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they brought all the all that COVID energy outside. Have
Speaker 1: you been, because I've noticed a lot of my Nick
Speaker 1: friends they've transferred to the nets, which I've now, first
Speaker 1: of all, shout Kate's my dog. I don't hate on
Speaker 1: the nets. I'm not one of those Knicks fans that
Speaker 1: hates on the nets because I you know, I know
Speaker 1: some players on the team and I rock with them,
Speaker 1: so personally, I just want to see them be great.
Speaker 1: You feel me? But nah, I'm still a Knicks fan.
Speaker 1: But you noticed a lot of people like going over
Speaker 1: to the side. Yeah, yeah, my sports chaff I showed
Speaker 1: you our sports chat right now. That's that's a big
Speaker 1: that's a big point of argument. That ship is crazy.
Speaker 1: I imagine if like the Clippers want to ring this year,
Speaker 1: and you started to notice like what I will say
Speaker 1: because it would be the Brooklyn niggas you feel me.
Speaker 1: So it's like if you're from Brooklyn and you're like,
Speaker 1: like co Vane's talking to me, like yo, the Nets,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get your sons in the finals, And I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: you're what you a Knicks fan? Fight? Like what from Brooklyn? Okay? See, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you gotta give you gotta give them a past
Speaker 1: because if a team pops up in your backyard, you
Speaker 1: know kind of got to just ride with him. That's fair. Whatere?
Speaker 1: Are you from Queens? Queens is? I feel like Queens
Speaker 1: is one of the more interesting boroughs in all New
Speaker 1: York because because it's like everything is there. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's the most diverse county. So diverse in the world.
Speaker 1: Is it in the world in the world? Yeap, that
Speaker 1: ship's crazy. Yeah, we got a little bit of everything
Speaker 1: and and quite possibly I always like, you know, what's
Speaker 1: the better burrow hip hop all time? Is it Brooklyn?
Speaker 1: Is it? I think it's I personally Queens is a
Speaker 1: certain brand of rappers too, Like I mean Ship Nas Mob, Deeps,
Speaker 1: fifty Tribe Run dmc ll no nor He's not from Queens.
Speaker 1: Norie's from Queens. Norse, he is from Yeah yeah, list,
Speaker 1: the list goes on. Man, Brooklyn is just very top
Speaker 1: heavy though, and we claimed Cold too. Don't forget that.
Speaker 1: That's fair. Cold Cole came up and got busy with us.
Speaker 1: So that's another queen's rabbit, you know. By way of
Speaker 1: I think that's cheating man, how he sounded like a
Speaker 1: queen's rabbit listening to Cold, he sounds like he's from Queens.
Speaker 1: He's from Vyeville. Bro. I'm just saying though, But you
Speaker 1: know he came up when he was with eighteen seven.
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair. That's fair we claim. We claim
Speaker 1: with you know, like half that are Is there any discussion?
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Eve for I you know,
Speaker 1: I had to hit him when the Dreamville project came
Speaker 1: out because I know that he kind of helped arrange
Speaker 1: that and and it was such a cohesive project and
Speaker 1: I know how hard that is to do with all
Speaker 1: the moving parts, and I'm sure the pull of songs
Speaker 1: to choose from had to be crazy, and it just
Speaker 1: it just it was. It played so well fronts of
Speaker 1: back Yeah, I was like, bro, you killed this ship.
Speaker 1: The sequencing that like everything was like even just like
Speaker 1: some of the artists that you wouldn't even expect when
Speaker 1: you see the track, look like what what like wop
Speaker 1: dads on this album? Yeah? No, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: I just thought it was such a great uh you know,
Speaker 1: it almost feels like an impossible feat to have a
Speaker 1: compilation be so just front to back. That's you know,
Speaker 1: there's been dope compilations and hip I even think of
Speaker 1: like Diplomatic Community. There was some ship on there that
Speaker 1: I skipped. I think this too was the one that
Speaker 1: was like most of the skips, you know, the Dreamville
Speaker 1: ship was so crazy. Has there been any discussion of
Speaker 1: like doing it doing a Volume four in the future,
Speaker 1: For sure, we gotta do that. I feel like three
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, opened a lot of people's eyes too,
Speaker 1: because the first two were super slept on. Yeah, very
Speaker 1: much so. Yeah, but you know, everything happens for a
Speaker 1: reason and you know, within its timing. I feel like
Speaker 1: when three came around, we had a lot of artists
Speaker 1: on the label to have reached just new levels on
Speaker 1: their whether it was myself, ri Jed Earth Gang, we
Speaker 1: said Cozon and Loop and then going back to what
Speaker 1: you said about how cohesive it was, I think that's
Speaker 1: because we did it all in those ten eleven days
Speaker 1: that we together. Yeah, everyone was together. It was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm walking into this session, all right. You guys already
Speaker 1: got like two verses in the hook. Let me do
Speaker 1: a bridge or you know, I'm walking into this session,
Speaker 1: all right, you know you guys need a hook. Let
Speaker 1: me try this hook idea, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: As opposed to like sending tracks back and forth and
Speaker 1: trying to put this piece of it was just literally
Speaker 1: like who's in the room. Who stumbled into the room,
Speaker 1: Like you know, some of those tracks are like eight
Speaker 1: people on them. That's real, you feel me? So all right,
Speaker 1: well just keep it the eight bars. We ain't all
Speaker 1: doing sixteens on this. It was a lot of that,
Speaker 1: and it was cool to see people's just process. You know,
Speaker 1: artists have such a wide range of creative processes. Like
Speaker 1: some people don't want no one around, and then you
Speaker 1: see those people like come out of that show, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they almost have no choice. Like imagine being the
Speaker 1: guy that goes all the way to Atlanta, right, I
Speaker 1: hate everybody. Yeah, that wasn't gonna happen, right, you know.
Speaker 1: So it was cool to see people just adapt to
Speaker 1: each other's creative process. Nah, I think it was. It was.
Speaker 1: It was done to I mean Volume four. Hast gotta
Speaker 1: gotta be I mean Volume three. It just performed so
Speaker 1: well too, like such a big deal. Man. Besides Jackie,
Speaker 1: which has Little TJ and Colon and you just mentioned
Speaker 1: the gun. Is there anybody who's not on your album
Speaker 1: yet who you would love to get a verse from what?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people. Let me think I got
Speaker 1: this record. I really want Sway Leon. I want to
Speaker 1: get Snow. I like snows Amazing. He's incredible. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: would love to get a whiz Kid on the album. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whiz Kid. It might have the song in the Summer. Man.
Speaker 1: What that album? That album got me through the whole pandemic.
Speaker 1: Honestly made it legos that got me through the whole
Speaker 1: the whole pandemic. I was running that. Let's see, man,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot honestly that these songs I'm making,
Speaker 1: Like like I said, I'm making him from that standpoint,
Speaker 1: like how do I make these joints? Like how do
Speaker 1: I make these like major joints. So I'm doing things
Speaker 1: that I'm always hearing somebody on. So I want to
Speaker 1: get Routy on the record. I really want to get
Speaker 1: on the record. That'd be crazy. Yeah, I'm working man.
Speaker 1: Hopefully those people I named when the album come out,
Speaker 1: we can look back and see you've also been like
Speaker 1: I feel like you've also haven't been like greedy with
Speaker 1: like doing like collapse like you know you, I saw
Speaker 1: you you were on that record where that Wakota and
Speaker 1: I think Joey was on that. What what are some
Speaker 1: like like like you mentioned whiz Kid album on the
Speaker 1: hip hop side, where is like the ship that you've
Speaker 1: really been just that's on repeat in the whip for
Speaker 1: you on Spotify a lot of like the Brooklyn drill scene. Honestly,
Speaker 1: that shit's going up, man. I just I just went
Speaker 1: and hung out with Dusty Locine and Canarsi and yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and who else we were hanging out with Ross Wish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that ship is going crazy. As far as like the
Speaker 1: hip hop I've been been running through all those catch
Speaker 1: the drill yet crazy Yeah to Gez, I know, like
Speaker 1: they got that's a problem. Definitely, Like everybody got their issues.
Speaker 1: But bro, I had no neutral party. I'm over here
Speaker 1: listening to all that, Like, I had no idea how
Speaker 1: crazy that ship was, like the Woo's and the Chows
Speaker 1: or whatever in New York. Yeah, yeah, it's going up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we went We went to New York for like a week.
Speaker 1: We went to Buffalo and chill with Griselda and then
Speaker 1: like I'm doing some original content almost like some hip
Speaker 1: hop Anthony Boardaine ship with Empire. So we like we
Speaker 1: did a bunch of stuff with the Drill guys, and
Speaker 1: we were just in the hotel room like like let's
Speaker 1: see what's going on, you know, and watch this whole
Speaker 1: documentary about that whole ship. I'm like, this ship is crazy.
Speaker 1: That's why they wouldn't let No Wady do that Rolling
Speaker 1: Loud a couple of years ago. Remember that was Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when they took Yeah. Yeah, that shit's crazy, though,
Speaker 1: I had like no idea, bro, Like I think it
Speaker 1: was a chef was a chef you either got stabbed,
Speaker 1: you got stabbed in the head or some ship. Yeah
Speaker 1: it was damn. I don't even know all that. Yeah, shi,
Speaker 1: it is nuts. Like meanwhile, but they're making really good music.
Speaker 1: They're making great music. You know, you gotta hope. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, everybody matures to the level past that. But
Speaker 1: you know that's ship that we don't even know about,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's just like shit they've
Speaker 1: all been dealing with. I imagine imagine Bozz doing a
Speaker 1: drill record though. You know what I'm saying that I
Speaker 1: got something in the tuck that'd be so random. I got,
Speaker 1: Oh it's coming, come, don't even worry about it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't worry about it. How you feeling, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously you're a big basketball guy. How do you feeling
Speaker 1: about my Phoenix Suns man? You know, Book is my dude.
Speaker 1: Book Book Book is like you say, he's your dude,
Speaker 1: like he's your friend. Yeah, somebody been rocking with drink
Speaker 1: from like early, like early, like I remember, I think
Speaker 1: it was in Vegas once and like Book wasn't even
Speaker 1: twenty one yet. You know, the Vegas clubs don't play that, right,
Speaker 1: So like he's a he's a dude that been like
Speaker 1: just supporting us from jump. So I really want to
Speaker 1: see him win and CP three. But then I'll see
Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot of homies on it. Mean,
Speaker 1: obviously they've catered you guys dinner, and Devin Booker didn't
Speaker 1: come to your fucking session. Yeah you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I mean, so you're you're just
Speaker 1: kind of like whoever wins, you're cool with. You know what,
Speaker 1: I do want to see Chris Paul get one because
Speaker 1: I think out of everyone playing, his legacy would gain
Speaker 1: the most solidified. It'd be so solidified. Top five point guard.
Speaker 1: I think he's the top five point guard already, but
Speaker 1: that nobody can say, especially the way he's led that
Speaker 1: team and the way he's made those pieces. Like even
Speaker 1: like last year on the Thunder, they were a five seed, bro,
Speaker 1: they thought they were gonna tank and be in the lottery,
Speaker 1: and Chris Paul had them their motherfuckers playing bro. He's
Speaker 1: what year sixteen now, So like that window, it is shringing.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm I'm ruining. I'm ruined for the Suns.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think Giannice is gonna get his.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have their time. Yeah Nice is
Speaker 1: still young man, exactly. I want. I want to see
Speaker 1: Chris Wall get one before it's so Yeah, CP three
Speaker 1: is that guy who would you consider to be the
Speaker 1: CP three of rap, the CP three of rap. Somebody
Speaker 1: who's like, maybe doesn't get that acknowledgement, but it's like
Speaker 1: an all time great and what they do? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's a great that's a great one.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, who's the Chris paul a Rap?
Speaker 1: Who is right? You got to answer that one? Because
Speaker 1: also Chris Wall makes everyone around him better. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think of that person too, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. That is really tough. Night Train.
Speaker 1: You ain't got nobody Cole, he said, Cole Cold got
Speaker 1: his rings. Though Cold got his rings. Man, you got
Speaker 1: a few of them rings. Yeah, I got them rings.
Speaker 1: You had the rings. Yeah. I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: someone who might be like less appreciated. Yeah, maybe, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe somebody like he forty, You do
Speaker 1: he make the bay forty made the big jump for real?
Speaker 1: Yeah that's hard. I like that. That's not a bad
Speaker 1: one for Yeah, I'll let you have that, man, I'll
Speaker 1: let you have that. Yeah. Yeah, I'll let you have that.
Speaker 1: Barrier over there. This guy tried to tell me mag
Speaker 1: Dre was the most influential rapper of all time. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't say one of them. No no, no no, no no,
Speaker 1: no said no he said no, no, no, you didn't
Speaker 1: say that when we now you're saying that because no,
Speaker 1: he said the most influential rapper ever. You're fucking on
Speaker 1: drugs whatever they're smoking on in the bay. We got
Speaker 1: to talk about he on d M T for sure.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Shout out to mac dre,
Speaker 1: rest in peace. He's a legend, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: icon in your area for sure. But he is one
Speaker 1: of those dudes though, Like as you know, as a
Speaker 1: New Yorker, like when you're thinking of Babe, you think
Speaker 1: of mac dre, you're thinking of Madre. Like nobody in
Speaker 1: New York's playing it on. Yeah, in a certain part
Speaker 1: of the country, they go crazy, But you can't say
Speaker 1: he's the single most influential rapper ever for the region. Okay,
Speaker 1: are you accepting defeat in the argument? So he's more
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got on, you know, So he's more
Speaker 1: influential than Hove or Tupac or fucking rock him. You
Speaker 1: didn't say that, though, Funk out of here, bro, You
Speaker 1: didn't say that now you say Little Wings more influential.
Speaker 1: Come on, bro anyway, Well look hopefully in any timeline
Speaker 1: when we're gonna get the album. Besides just before the
Speaker 1: end of the year, I'm hoping for like Q four Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: things I want to I want to get out. There
Speaker 1: is everyone working, like everyone on the team right now
Speaker 1: working on on on projects d O d O D
Speaker 1: everybody everybody going crazy. Yeah, I thought it was super
Speaker 1: dope to see Earth Gang have like one of them
Speaker 1: records that like did well on radio options, did it? Gang? Uh?
Speaker 1: Ghetto guys on the way, And you know, obviously Jedd
Speaker 1: j I D is one of the He's an alien.
Speaker 1: I always say there's like certain people are like uh
Speaker 1: jedis and hip hop and he's like lyrically a Jedi. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that record he put out with Conway's fucking crazy. He
Speaker 1: went crazy on it. So he's working on his ship. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Cole's probably relaxing right now. I'd assume I don't even know.
Speaker 1: You never know what cold You just never know, right,
Speaker 1: You never know what Cole he got. You know, he's
Speaker 1: on that path to the fall off. I think he's
Speaker 1: trying to get everything off his chest that he wants to.
Speaker 1: I want to see I want to see Cause and
Speaker 1: Reason do album together. Man, me too, me too. I
Speaker 1: would love it. I would love that. I really love that.
Speaker 1: Lambo Truck is like such a great like it was
Speaker 1: like such a perfectly executed concept. I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: y'all got to do the album. It was on somebody
Speaker 1: how to rob Ship, but like the West Coast version,
Speaker 1: they got to do an album. Bro, they I think
Speaker 1: I know Reason said he's down. I think you know
Speaker 1: obviously there's two teparate camps. Well not even I think
Speaker 1: it's feasible if you know, if those two made the music,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would stay. It would be the
Speaker 1: col and Kendrick album we never got, but on a
Speaker 1: lesser scale, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I feel that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that that's what it would be. Who would
Speaker 1: you if you could do a collap album with, Like, like,
Speaker 1: anybody who you got real chemistry with, who you really
Speaker 1: funck with? Like, who would you do a collab project with?
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna happen. I'm saying like, if
Speaker 1: you have me, the easiest colla project will probably be
Speaker 1: with Cold because we just got we already damn there
Speaker 1: got one. If I got to pick anybody, yeah, Cold
Speaker 1: would be a layup. That's easy though, for real, for real. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like I want him rapping on a skateboard p
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, not just on the production side, like there
Speaker 1: it is man. Well look, hey boss, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: pulling up. Hopefully we get this album sooner than later. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the song Jackie is out. Let's get it. It's going crazy.
