112

113
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: his music?

114
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: I mean at first it's it's kind of jarring because

115
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: it's like, who's this guy with nails in his I

116
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: thought it was a week, but it's like really nails

117
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: in his head.

118
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: You know.

119
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: It reminded me of like early Andre three thousand when

120
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: he used to wear the wigs. Yeah, full shoulder pads,

121
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: the furry pants. Is just kind of really eccentric. But

122
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: will you give him a chance? Like, Okay, this music's

123
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: not too bad and of course I love them on

124
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: todl of the Creators album on run It Up, Yeah,

125
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: so I thought you know why not?

126
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you said that how do you sleep out?

127
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: And he just put out getting high praise from his peers,

128
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: Drake in particular.

129
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: You know, he tells his story.

130
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: I love how he tells stories about his interaction with

131
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: other artists, but he's always he's still also protective of

132
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: like telling too much information about them. Like we asked

133
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: about him playing Drake his album and getting Drake's feedback.

134
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: He was, you know, he gave us just enough, but

135
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: he didn't violate you know, any kind of behind the

136
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: scenes conversation or you know what Drake said in particular specifically,

137
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: you know.

138
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: Right, And I think you know, you can't judge a

139
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: rapper by his brades, I guess because the thing that

140
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: stood out to me the most in conversion with him

141
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: is like he's really a student of the game. Like

142
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 4: he's watch all of our previous interviews. You know, he

143
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 4: loves hip hop, he loves media. So it's like, wow, okay,

144
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: this guy, you know, he's.

145
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: Got a good head on his shoulders.

146
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you watch the video version, he drove us

147
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: crazy or produced a lore.

148
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: He was like assistant that he didn't want to sit down,

149
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: He didn't want to do the normal setup of a

150
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: podcast music due he won us all to stand up.

151
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: So it's like we'll standing up like it's a game show, right,

152
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: beat out about to hit the buzzer.

153
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: Like a little game show.

00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: After what we've done five hundred episodes the First War,

Speaker 2: guy has nails all through his head, Like you have

158
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: to be up closer to really understand how progressive and

Speaker 2: nuts it looks. And the funny thing is if you're

160
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: doing a conversation the podcast and like fifteen twenty minutes

161
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: into every moment, all of a sudden, you hear one

162
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: of the nails hit the ground.

163
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: Like pet, you don't be really dope. If we could

164
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: have like a nail counter for every time the nails dropped.

165
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: I think it was like three to four times. Man,

166
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: all the audio picks it up. But yeah, it was funny.

167
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: But I liked him though. Like you said, he's a

168
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: good dude. Man, he's a real student of the game.

169
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: His energy, you know, he's definitely a new artist that

170
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: has a lot to say, coming with a fresh perspective.

171
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: And I think people should really check out his album,

172
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's inspiring a lot of other rappers.

173
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: Even he was bigging it.

174
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: Up too, and you know, just such a creative approach

175
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: right with the music.

176
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, you know, I think that's the most exciting

177
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: thing about it was just he's different and not in

178
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: a way where it's like forced, you know what I mean,

179
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: Like it's yeah, it's just it's just a different take

180
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 4: on the game. So shout tis no touchdown.

181
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,600

201
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: Board it is like, so, what was your overall vision

202
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: with the project. How do you sleep at night? This

203
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: is your official debut.

204
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 7: Right official debut. The overall vision was just this album

205
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 7: is just my extending my hand out. I say it

206
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 7: was like an icebreaker to a very long conversation you

207
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 7: think about, like the brand you have for years, or

208
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 7: like a girlfriend or wife. You know, it all started

209
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 7: with that first conversation. So this is nothing to me.

210
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: We k extending my hand Hello, my name is too touchdown.

211
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 6: How do you sleep at night? This is an icebreaker conversation.

212
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 5: That's the that's the question for icebreaker conversation.

213
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it is. I think I think that translates

214
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 6: through the music.

215
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 7: It's a very you know, I'm taking your right to

216
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 7: the bedroom, a very private and personal space.

217
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 6: So it's I'm going right there with you. This type of.

218
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 7: Relationship we're gonna have, very honest, very open.

219
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 5: MM. How did you land on that? How do you

220
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 5: sleep at night?

221
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: I'm glad you asked that because at first I always

222
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 7: said that I pre trivel and success. You know, I'm

223
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 7: not afraid to try. And you know, if it doesn't work,

224
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 7: whatever stakes we keep and if not we r it

225
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 7: rolls off. So I was alred the mandre on after

226
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 7: we had a conversation about cause I had this rollout

227
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 7: that was showing depicted me at twenty eighteen, and at

228
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 7: first it was a it was an exciting start, but

229
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 7: as we kept going to engage, we started to go down.

230
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 7: And I remember Dante Ross told me when cause we

231
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 7: been had this idea of like doing like this biopic thing,

232
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 7: he was like, people aren't gonna care because it's so

233
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 7: early in your career. And then even after when we

234
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 7: go cut, when we shot that, I was like still

235
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 7: going back to my same places. So it's like I'm

236
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 7: showing this twenty eighteen thing, but like not much has changed.

237
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 7: So we had an honest conversation to say, Yo, this

238
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 7: is not translating and it's not connecting. We need to

239
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 7: make a pivot. So we made that pivot. We made

240
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 7: at the mandre on and we said, okay, so what

241
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 7: are we gonna What are we gonna do? And I

242
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 7: looked over right at the bed and the number one

243
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 7: question I get asked because of you know, my appearance

244
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 7: is how do you sleep at night?

245
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: Hm?

246
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 7: And I remember just hopping on top of the bed

247
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 7: when me and my manager, I'm all and door, and

248
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 7: I was like, what if I we named that the

249
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 7: album how do You Sleep at Night? And we do

250
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 7: like the the the art around, the visuals around it all.

251
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 7: It has like this constant thread or beds. And if

252
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 7: you go back and look at like my garage content,

253
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 7: I there's always been this constant thread and that was

254
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 7: out of the necessity at first, but it kind of

255
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 7: I think that's where really, that's where you find what

256
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 7: the good stuff is when you don't have anything. Yeah,

257
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 7: so yeah, I wanted to have this constant theme of

258
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 7: how do you sleep at nights? So when that comes, alright,

259
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 7: comes dreams, it comes this very intimate space. So yeah,

260
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 7: in a madreal standing on top of the bed when

261
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 7: it just hit me in it just you know, glew

262
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 7: out like that.

263
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: It makes sense now when you look back on your

264
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: Instagram page, you like laying down on all the the

265
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: the clips for the for the songs.

266
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, we shot that.

267
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 7: We had that conversation about two weeks of planning and

268
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 7: then we shot all of everything you see in like

269
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 7: two days. Album covering included MM so my U again,

270
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 7: I gotta commit my team.

271
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 6: I have a great team.

272
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 7: The reason I shine, theory I shine is because of

273
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 7: the you know, the people behind the cameras.

274
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: How did that personal style develop s t to this

275
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: look you think you have now?

276
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 5: Like that, what was that journey like?

277
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 7: So that was when I came back from LA in

278
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 7: twenty nineteen, which I thought was the scariest thing. I

279
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 7: was like, my managers sending me back to Beaumont, they

280
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 7: gonna think I failed, and I'm gonna think they gonna

281
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 7: think I failed. But I just when I something hit

282
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 7: me when I came back that like, there's no other

283
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 7: place like this. You know, in LA and New York,

284
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 7: you meet a lot of different people, a lot of

285
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 7: different accents, but I never really ran into someone for Beaumont, Texas.

286
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 7: So I went home and I just started romanticizing where

287
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 7: we you know, my surroundings. And my dad is a handyman,

288
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 7: so he had like tools around the house, and I

289
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 7: started putting nails in my boots and like you know,

290
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 7: it first started the brim of my hats, and then

291
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 7: we started putting our shoelaces, and then like a few

292
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 7: months later, I was like, yeah, I'm thinking about putting

293
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 7: these nails in my hair. And it kind of went

294
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 7: from that and as far as like the fashion again,

295
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 7: when I went to when I came out to LA

296
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 7: for the first time, when Trip called me and said, yo,

297
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 7: like we got your flight.

298
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 6: I just took my laptop.

299
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 7: I had some skinny jeans and a white tank top

300
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 7: and that's all I went to LA with. And I

301
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 7: went at for a minute to the point, like a

302
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 7: few weeks in he was like, y'all, I know you

303
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 7: can't out here with nothing. If you wanna go upstairs,

304
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, you can grab a few things.

305
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 7: And all I went and grabbed was just some some change,

306
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 7: just to wrap around myself. Like so I wanna commend

307
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 7: him for just being so welcoming mm cause you know

308
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 7: I literally came out here with you know, the close

309
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 7: of my back and yeah, even then, like I think

310
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 7: the repetition are wearing the same thing over and over.

311
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 7: It's why I'm so confident and just seeing what works,

312
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 7: seeing what sticks. So like this all, if you go back,

313
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 7: you can look at my career on my journey and

314
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 7: see everything a a tiny thread goes back.

315
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 6: To the again.

Speaker 6: Congratulations on that. Congratulations on that, y'all.

395
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 7: And I do you know, I like to keep propacies

396
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 7: like when when we were creating, but I wanna say

397
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 7: when we created that, the AC was out in the studio.

398
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 7: And the reason I pointed to that because I always

399
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 7: say it reminded me of recording it.

400
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 6: What's the name house?

401
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 5: You know?

402
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's the name house? And there's no AC. Y'all

403
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 7: sharing headphones and it's some mic. So I always love

404
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 7: when I could see the similarities at this high level

405
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 7: that you would see at the beginning.

526
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 7: like while we're on the road. We ended up in Dallas.

527
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 7: A lot of great music history happens in Dallas. You know,

528
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 7: Prince and Rick James first met in Dallas. It's a

529
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 7: lot of things that happens in Dallas. That's the one

530
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 7: I can just come off the top. But we go

531
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 7: to the studio. Another studio story, cause there's a message there,

532
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 7: and the engineers weren't as as verse that we needed

533
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 7: him to be, you know, hm, But Don couldn't smoke

534
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 7: in the studio. But Don, being a true professional, I

535
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 7: was like, man, you can't. I thought he was gonna.

536
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 7: But Don, being a true professional, stuck there, stuck throughout

537
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 7: the whole thing. And that's where we started. Luckily, I'm

538
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 7: having But we ended up wrapping it up in Los Angeles.

539
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 7: And yes, you're a point of of me pulling up

540
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 7: to Don. I pulled up on him, s I had

541
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 7: the album probably like sixty percent done. But when I

542
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 7: pulled up on my playing something that I had made

543
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 7: like that last night instead of playing on like the album,

544
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 7: and he told me like, nah, too, you gotta stand

545
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 7: on your album. You gotta stand on it, like really

546
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 7: focus on this body of work that you got right now.

547
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 7: And when the album dropped, I called him and told

548
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 7: him like, Yo, thank you. Well, every time I talked

549
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 7: to him, I tell him thank you, Cause when I

550
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 7: go and I work on these projects, that's the first

551
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 7: thing I think, like, Yo, you got to stand on this.

552
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 7: You have to really be focused on this body of

553
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 7: work that you present, cause I have songs, I I

554
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 7: have probably the album worked with songs, but this is

555
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 7: my first body of work. So any advice I'm getting

556
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 7: on this, I'm taking it. And that was a solo

557
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 7: when he gave me. Did you feel like uncertain about

558
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 7: some some of the songs.

559
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 5: That you were creating?

560
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 6: Absolutely? Absolutely.

561
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 7: I felt like I had a period of time when

562
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 7: I felt like I was making music for my team,

563
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 7: m making music for my A and rs and the

564
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 7: people at the office, and not really making like what

565
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 7: I wanted to make. And that was just me when

566
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 7: being scared to fail when he get scared to get

567
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 7: dropped or whatever whatever. But I think my team was

568
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 7: very honest and he heard that and I and I

569
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 7: expressed that to him like they like, nah, you need

570
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 7: to one have fun and cliches the sound. Just have

571
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 7: fun and also embrace collaborations. Once you're at this level,

572
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 7: everyone's good. So it's something you can learn from everyone

573
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 7: in the room.

574
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: Is there a moment when you started recording this album

575
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: that it clicked it this is the direction or this

576
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: just seemed like I forgetting my confidence, this is why

577
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 2: I want to go with it.

578
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 7: It's not on the album, but it's when I recorded

579
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 7: I'm Just a Fan. That's when we had that conversation

580
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 7: with just talking about, Yo, you gotta have fun. I

581
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 7: know understand you have a producer background, but like, let

582
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 7: the other people in the room really collaborate because they're

583
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 7: here and they're here for a reason. So I would

584
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 7: say it starts from I'm just a fan. That's where

585
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 7: it starts. And as far as the rock and boom thing,

586
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 7: maybe like the best like potent example.

587
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 6: Of yeah, because we had this, I had.

588
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,200

Speaker 7: just working on this sound.

592
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 6: And I just said, I.

593
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 7: Don't want to have the ego and think that I'm

594
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: gonna have a second chance to make my first impression.

595
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 7: M So let me mess these two together so they

596
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,000

Speaker 7: my mom's friend had some had her like nieces come

631
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 7: down from like Chicago. So like this is the time

632
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 7: when I got I got my Infinity Q forty five.

633
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 6: With the rims.

634
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 7: Okay, uh, you know what I'm saying, showing these young

635
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 7: ladies like this time of Bowl went, you know, with

636
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 7: Drake being the soundtrack to that. So the fast forward

637
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 7: to ask me look him in the eyes and then

638
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 7: hear what he says about this album?

639
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 6: What more can you ask for?

640
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: What was it like playing it for him? He played

641
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 5: it for him backstage or it was exciting.

642
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 7: I played it for my DJ app so I was

643
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 7: I was like, my low end is getting you can't

644
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 7: really hit these books, so let me let me turn

645
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 7: it down the low end, then you turn up the

646
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 7: men's and the highest.

647
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 6: Cause I was very making this album.

648
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 7: I was very self conscious about the mix cause I

649
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 7: was doing a lot of research listening to the debut

650
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 7: album debut studio albums. I was like, Yo, my mix

651
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 7: isn't sounding like I get Richard I try and like Nellyville,

652
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 7: like what's what's happening? It's not sounded like B two

653
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 7: K bump bump bump. So I was just that's one

654
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 7: of my references. I love that, that very clear tone

655
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 7: of that song. So yeah, but now I'm so excited

656
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 7: about how it sounds like shot out to my my

657
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 7: mixed of Scottie Demerison in Boston. But yeah, you know,

658
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm protecting the prophecy of the absolutely respect

659
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 7: that absolutely Speaking of Drake, he brought you out on

660
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 7: the tour.

661
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I read that you said bringing him bring

662
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: you out was like one of the highest and lowest

663
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: points of your life.

664
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 5: No.

665
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, with the same day, No, yeah, it got higher.

666
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 7: So it was high playing the album and then I

667
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 7: went online and seeing just just the comments, the negative comments,

668
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: and I was literally curled him in bed, like hearing

669
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 7: it in the in like in the hater's ears, Like

670
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 7: wait a minute, what if they're right?

671
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 6: Like this is you know, I'm scared.

672
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 7: I literally went to the show and my teams like

673
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 7: have like we at the Drake Show like, and I personally,

674
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 7: I'm like, yo, like I think we might need to

675
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 7: go back to the drawing board. I don't think the

676
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 7: world is messing with it. And my manager Malwa was like, oh,

677
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 7: you know you playing it? And then Jay Hill was like, nah,

678
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 7: he's serious, He's serious. So but Monica, my hairstyle just

679
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 7: told me. She was like, once you if you got

680
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 7: a hundred people that love you and teen people that

681
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: dislike you, when you get a hundred thousand, that level,

682
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 7: that number of people who dislike you is gonna increase.

683
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 7: You just gotta she said, Are you gonna listen to

684
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 7: what Drake just said in this comment section? Are you

685
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 7: gonna listen to what a faceless person just you know,

686
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 7: but what.

687
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 5: They hate you online about? What was what was speaking of?

688
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 6: Just this wasn't. Is this what Drake called the best

689
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 6: music that he ever heard?

690
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm a TEASO fan, but I kind of expect

691
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 7: a little bit more from what, you know, what what

692
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 7: I was getting, Yeah, a lot of that, and it

693
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 7: got me down. But I would say, you know, charying success,

694
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 7: use me at learn from my mistakes, learned from my

695
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 7: from my corrections. I think once you first started, once

696
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 7: you first starting off, nobody's gonna care. Then the people

697
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 7: who do care probably gonna be in your immediate vicinity,

698
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 7: so like it's gonna be all great things. But once

699
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 7: you break past that level, you're gonna get the people

700
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 7: who are indifferent and don't really I think that's a

701
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 7: good sign, so don't really run from it.

702
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 6: I'm speaking from experience.

703
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 7: When I first felt it, I've curled up in the bed,

704
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 7: But I can't really speak past level because of when

705
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 7: I'm at right now. No, yeah, I can, because the

706
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 7: album is out. I remember receiving good love in person.

707
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 7: So after you get past the internet part, you're gonna

708
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 7: start running to the people that actually tell you how

709
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 7: much they care for you, eye to eye and face

710
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 7: to face.

711
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 6: So don't even trip on.

712
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: That and no, family is important too, Like though it

713
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: was interesting that familiarity stuck around, right, that's one of

714
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: the earliest releases.

715
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 5: Why did that still need to be on the album

716
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: in your judgment, I.

717
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 7: Think just because story and just I want that story

718
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 7: to be. I think I need you, I need you

719
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 7: to know that about me. Like I said, this is

720
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 7: a very intimate album. I think you need to know

721
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 7: when I'm doubting myself, I think you need to know that.

722
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 6: And then also this.

723
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 7: Morning I was getting ready, I want I want to

724
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 7: correct myself on the line I said, I said, I'm

725
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 7: a little old for roommates. I want to send this

726
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 7: out publicly. You never your story ain't got nothing to

727
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 7: do with nobody else's story. However long it take. That's

728
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 7: on you. Don't don't trip on that. Don't put yourself

729
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 7: on the timeline. So this is me publicly said, I

730
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 7: apologize for putting that line in. So if you got

731
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 7: a roommate or whatever, it's all a part of your journey.

732
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 7: Don't even be ashamed of that. On the course of

733
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 7: that song, you said I'm not coming back home until

734
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 7: I'm a man.

735
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: Did you feel like a masculated that things weren't taken

736
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: off at the time, probably.

737
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 7: Not even mascualated, just felt small, I think before before anything.

738
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 6: But it's funny.

739
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 7: Before I before I left the hometown on this previous

740
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 7: trip that I haven't been back since I'm in jack

741
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 7: Books airport, I'm like, yeah, I'm like, man, I'm not

742
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 7: coming back home to star and I just said that

743
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 7: just you know, just it with that verbrido. But here

744
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 7: we are right now. I'm on rap Radar debut album,

745
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 7: and I think I think those words are I think

746
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 7: those words are definitely coming into paration for sure.

747
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 5: I love the scene. Is that really your dad in

748
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: the video? Oh?

749
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 7: No, no, no no, So so that's that's that's Thomas Bishop, right,

750
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 7: So we found we found Thomas By. It's funny because

751
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 7: you initially found him on TikTok because he he did

752
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 7: he had like stitched together as a video I did

753
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 7: on another interview our Generation Music, and he was like, cool,

754
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 7: hurt not it being hip hop for you to walk.

755
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: Around with these nails in your head. You probably can't

756
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 6: even probly do an airport.

757
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 7: But during that time, we were looking for the person

758
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 7: who was gonna play my dad during this stuff, and

759
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 7: I'm all knowing my managers like, yo, this may be

760
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 7: the person that we that we should that we should

761
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 7: use as your dad.

762
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 6: And it's funny that he said, like you probably won't

763
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 6: be able to.

764
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 7: Get on the on the airport and we flew him

765
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 7: down and pulled out the Texas to play my dad

766
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 7: and that thing. So like it's it's crazy how you

767
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 7: know how that works, how you can take something something negative,

768
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 7: you know, and use it for the positive. But I

769
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 7: also want to say, I don't want to keep rewarding

770
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 7: negativity because that fans who's been hitting me up every day, like, yo,

771
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 7: he didn't, he didn't, he didn't respond by I seen

772
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 7: he just responds to this negative comment. It's gonna make

773
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 7: that person wanna switch and say, oh, I see what

774
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 7: you react to. So it ain't gonna work again. That

775
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 7: was the one time, So stay with family.

776
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 4: Like your dad was a DJ, right, absolutely, He's the

777
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: one that kind of exposed you to all the the music.

778
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my dad was the first one.

779
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 7: My first like Christmas gifts and stuff that I remember

780
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 7: was like DJ Christmas, like Soriado and stuff like that.

781
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 7: Actually having a I remember we had like the digital

782
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 7: version then like I wanted viny just because you know

783
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 7: it's hip hop. So yeah, my dad from elementary school

00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 7: John and actual fight springing out.

809
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go, that's it, and.

810
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 7: Just feeling that, like that's one thing that I remember

811
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 7: just playing and then this, you know, someone getting slammed

812
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 7: into the wall on the side.

813
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 6: And I'm a kid, why this is happening?

814
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 7: So I think just seeing that, also DJing parties and

815
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 7: playing like a three six Mafie and hearing kids and

816
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 7: scream and terror.

817
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 6: Because they're like, no, this is the Devil's music. So

818
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 6: like seeing that.

819
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so I've seen like the extremes of what

820
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 7: music can do, which is really cool.

821
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: Was you into the screw and chop stuff?

822
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 7: Oh, come on, I'm glad you bought that. Of course,

823
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 7: Little Flip is my favorite rapper. Oh okay, my favorite rapper.

824
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think I used to be so fanned

825
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 7: out or like hearing like a big mo and hearing

826
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 7: him take breaths in between lines, like I remember holding

827
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 7: the radio to my ear just hearing them breathe, like whoa,

828
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 7: this is a human, like this is like a person,

829
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 7: and with them being from Houston, even when pictures get

830
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 7: taken to Houston, when artists perform in Houston. To me,

831
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 7: it looks so different, like y'all right down the street

832
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 7: from my house. So yeah, of course, I just I

833
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 7: think one of the real surreal things of this moment

834
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 7: that I have right now was being able to call

835
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 7: og Ran and see a few days ago and just

836
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 7: ask him about this R and B group that I

837
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 7: that I was asking about, and him being able to

838
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 7: like just tell me like who had been there firsthand

839
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 7: and be able to see this. So to be able

840
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 7: to still call those people and talk to those people

841
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 7: with this, I think that I'm a fan of What

842
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 7: more can I asks for her? So yeah, a huge

843

Speaker 7: group friend, hu, huge group end. Yeah, it seems like

844
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 7: you're a big fan of Janello Net. She's on the

845
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 7: album as well.

846
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 4: You said, uh on Twitter, I can't believe I have

847
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 4: a song with Janell Monet.

848
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, just you know, talking about debuts, like I remember

849
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 7: how they how Janemo on the debuty and her showmanship.

850
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,400

00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 7: Continues to do that, to still continue to push to

852
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 7: p uh push what artistry is in the self expression

853
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 7: and to meet her. And I always say that the

854
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 7: great people who are who are who are ran into

855
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 7: they have these three qualities, and now these three qualities

856
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 7: are what I stand by. They all have hospitality, they

857
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 7: have professionalism, and they have to twinkle in their eye

858
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 7: because they.

859
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 6: Love what they do.

860
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 7: MM and Genemo, they definitely has that. I was honest

861
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 7: that that was the first person who I played for

862
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 7: on this album.

863
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 5: Why was she the right voice for the US for

Speaker 5: that song?

865
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 6: I think that's just her talent.

866
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 7: I think I think my team reached out and was like, Yo,

875
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 7: it was a rabbit that grabbed me from the front

885
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: on this time around, right.

886
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, out of fear. Out of fear and uh, just

887
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 7: of asking for things. I'm working on it, but yeah,

888
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 7: that was just out of fear of just being scared

889
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 7: to ask someone to It was to the point that

890
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 7: I wouldn't even I was like, I'm not even gonna

891
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 7: make something with them in mind because i know I'm

892
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 7: gonna have this fear of asking. So I'm working on that.

893
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 7: So like Janel Monee, I didn't come up with a fear.

894
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 7: I have my you know, our teams connected bouchet. We

895
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 7: just had a relationship of just being friends and so

896
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 7: that was natural.

897
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 6: And then Isaiah Russ, I'm a fan of him.

898
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 7: He's the front man of a punk band and he

899
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 7: used to fade them all. So it's like with my peers,

900
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 7: I don't get that that that.

901
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 6: That bubbui feeling in my stomach.

902
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 7: But like with the stars, me being so many years

903
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 7: of being a fan, they're still stars to me, and

904
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 7: I'm still scared.

905
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: I'm still scared. Were you scared of stuff?

00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 7: something that I always tell people who are like going

00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 7: on the first tour or just about the gone stage.

911

Speaker 7: They're gonna be looking at you.

913
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 6: Don't take it upfins to it. They're just processing you.

914
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 7: So as an opening act, Yeah, that took away any

915
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 7: fear or worry of going on that on on that stage.

916
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 7: My man concerned was just giving these people a great show.

917
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 7: But then him telling me that took away any stage

918
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 7: fright or fear that I have.

919
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 5: I read before you go on the show, you listen

920
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 5: to gospel music.

921
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 6: I haven't done that in a while.

922
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 7: But what I do now I just call my dad

923
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 7: and we say the Lord's Prayer before I go on.

924
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 7: So we still got God in the room.

928
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: fame looks like, right in terms of celebrity or getting

929
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: noticed and still dealing and being there for family and

930
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,960

00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 7: is crazy. But I was the first one they were

944
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 7: able to, you know. And I always commend him. I

945
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 7: was like for me to be the you know, the

946
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 7: first child that y'all raised together and y'all make a start.

947
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 7: I always come in them and tell them thank you

948
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 7: so much. A lot of the hosperciity that I have

949
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 7: all comes from, you know, my parents. So when I

950
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 7: did like a song with Dandy Mama Drama and I say,

951
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 7: you know, when I turn thirteen, they say, when I

952
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 7: turned thirteen, I just stopped caring. And my dad told me.

953
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 7: He was like, yeah, man, it's like I want. When

954
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 7: people tell me they got kids, the first thing I

955
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 7: ask him is they made that change it when they

956
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 7: just stopped liking your parents stop liking themselves. So mm

957
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 7: hearing that, I'm I'm also afraid of of having that

958
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 7: moment when there's thing that you have seen and you

959
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 7: held one day just whatever happens to it's just, you know, stops.

960
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 7: But that's support system for my for my family. I

961
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 7: think I'm thankful for it. I think out of fear,

962
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 7: you know, they they want you to go to college,

963
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 7: you know, yeah, they just want you to be alright.

964
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 7: So for for just to start happening for me, they

965
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 7: become my biggest supporters. And I think for the next generation,

966
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 7: you know, when we start having kids, I think they'll

967
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 7: have a little bit easier because we are to live

968
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 7: and breathing thing that it's possible support the kids like,

969
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 7: let them do whatever they want. And you know what

970
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 7: I'm saying, lead by example.

971
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, going back to being from Texas, Like a lot

972
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: of times we'll see you could be successful in Texas

973
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: and have a career, right, but you seem like you

974
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: from jump Addup ambition. You want to be bigger and

975
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 2: be bigger than just the home state.

976
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 7: Like absolutely, in Texas, we definitely have that privilege of

977
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 7: we can basically survive just by being you know, big

978
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 7: in Texas. But we also have that standard of stars

979
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 7: that come from Texas.

980
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 6: We have Beyonce, we.

981
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 7: Have Aerykabaddu you got, Larry Graham, you got, the list

982
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 7: goes on and on and on. So we do have that,

983
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 7: but we also have these stars that want everything is

984
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 7: bigger in Texas. I think our aspiration and our drive

985
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 7: is also big as well.

986
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,640

1003
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 7: on and so forth, I think that's when I started

1004
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 7: realizing that I was probably moving and doing something.

1005
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1006
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: Ah, so I feel like twenty twenty, you know, during

1007
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: the pandemic is when you really start to make waves.

1008
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 4: He shot like eight videos in front of the garage. Yes,

1009
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 4: did the pandemic afford you that opportunity to create?

1010
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 6: No, so to jump back to one hundred drums.

1011
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 7: I shot that and then Trip was like come to

1012
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 7: LA and it's like that momentum was going, but I

1013
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 7: didn't have anything else to like follow it up with.

1014
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 5: MM.

1015
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 7: So when I went back when we shot those videos,

1016
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 7: I was about to go on the road. On the

1017
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 7: road trip, he offered me to like to just you know,

1018
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 7: I feel like when Trip.

1019
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 6: Brought me to LA.

1020
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 7: He didn't say what his intention was, but to me,

1021
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 7: how I took it was like I want you to

1022
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 7: see this up close. I want you to see this,

1023
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 7: this thing that you're chasing up close. That's my perspective.

1024
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 7: We still haven't talked about why, but I think I

1025
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 7: know why. He's a loving and caring person, so I

1026
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 7: think that just shows his heart. So I was like,

1027
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 7: I am about to go on the road and I

1028
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 7: want to shoot something so I'm able to post while

1029
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 7: I'm stilling the road and I won't lose that momentum

1030
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 7: being away from the garage, being away from my team.

1031
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 7: So I just shot those and again me speaking, I said, Yo,

1032
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 7: I'm gonna drop these videos and I'm gonna get so

1033
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 7: hot they're gonna have to pull me off the tour.

1034
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what happened.

1035
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 6: That's exactly what.

1036
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 4: Happened, right, And people still want you to shoot videos

1037
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 4: in front of the garage.

1038
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 7: Still, they asked about it, and they think that like

1039
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 7: this is like a this is like me moving on

1040
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 7: and moving forward. Oh yeah, I also want to say hero,

1041
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 7: right Brad or I own that garage. Now at first

1042
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 7: we used to trust Pass, we used to trust Pass,

1043
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 7: but I own that garage.

1044
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 5: I haven't said thank you, but you wold shooting her

1045
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 5: for the community?

1046
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely not.

1047
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, because like I said, the money one hundred dollars

1048
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 7: by the time I edited the video and got it

1049
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 7: back to your money is gone. So a big part

1050
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 7: of why I was one hundred dollars was because I

1051
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 7: couldn'tford videos and I knew my other like other artists

1052
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 7: AROUNDMIC come there for video, so it's.

1053
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 6: Not a money thing with me.

1054
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 7: Yo, spend a little hundred dollars so I can get

1055
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 7: something to eat and put gas in my car and

1056
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 7: be able to go to the studio myself. I'm gonna

1057
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 7: edit that video and I'm gonna have it to you

1058
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 7: in the next day, just because I don't want to

1059
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 7: hold up your dreams. I didn't pay I used to

1060
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 7: pay like music videographers. I probably still ain't got a

1061
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 7: video now I want my video. I still ain't got

1062
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 7: my video yet, but I wanted to. I always felt

1063
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 7: I didn't want to hold up nobody's career, Like I

1064
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 7: knew we all chasing something. So let me shoot a

1065
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 7: video for you and go do your thing. You go

1066
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 7: to my YouTube page right now, I gotta playlist all

1067
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 7: of those and it's like twenty you had twenty videos,

1068
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 7: and I was like, I don't never remember having one

1069
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 7: thousand dollars. I don't loan two thousand dollars. So that's

1070
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 7: closed to show you doing all of that work. But

1071
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 7: the money, it wasn't for me to have money in

1072
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 7: my pocket. It was just to support its all.

1073
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 4: Was that you still keep the old stuff up on

1074
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 4: YouTube like you're not archiving them or taking them down.

1075
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 7: Like yeah, that's because even how I talk about interviews,

1076
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 7: and I could talk my interviews, I was in boment

1077
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 7: watching y'all talk to these artists and watching them get

1078
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 7: that game, watching those j Z those straight interviews, watching

1079
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 7: that and knowing that I couldn't search up how will

1080
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 7: TISO touch down?

1081
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 6: Blank blank blank, But there was.

1082
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 7: A lot of great interviews that were a lot of

1083
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 7: great journalism that I could go out and the study.

1084
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 7: So the reason I leave that up, the reason I

1085
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 7: do my interview so well is for that next person

1086
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 7: who's searching up how do I want to do?

1087
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 6: How what's my story going to be?

1088
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 7: So I want to show you that I say I

1089
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 7: believe in trial success, watch how I mess up?

1090
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 6: Learn from him?

1091
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: Right?

1092
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: Is that what tisos Suave did? How did we evolve

1093
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 4: from tvOS Suave into Save was just abhoor invitation in

00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 7: Okay, and my boy, my boy Sewn Lewis, who was

1098
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 7: a football player, we would always joke about, like, yo,

1099
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 7: band ain't a sport. Now we're talking about how bad

1100
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 7: the football team is. But at the end of the year,

1101
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 7: at the end of the season, all of the football

1102
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 7: players were getting together their highlight tapes because they were

1103
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 7: all going to the They want to go to the

1104
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 7: next level. And here I am making a mixtapes and

1105
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 7: stuff because I want to go to the next level.

1106
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 6: So the reason my name is t Tho.

1107
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 7: Touchdown is because that that that similarity of like the

1108
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 7: athletes putting together these highlight tapes to go to the

1109
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 7: college and then go to the NFL to take care

1110
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 7: of their families.

1111
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 6: I feel like musicians we do the same thing.

1112
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 7: We put together these highlight tapes, like these albums in

1113
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 7: order to go to the next level.

1114
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: Be getting probably prior for your pen Like what thing

1115
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: draws me a lot of the records the album, it's

1116
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: that opening line that draws you in. Like we were

1117
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 2: talking about Spider Man this, so maybe you could have

1118
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: been a painter, like speak to that as the right

1119
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: like how important it is to kind of grab the

1120
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: audience with that opening ball.

1121
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 7: I think this is my first album. I understand my championship.

1122
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 7: I understand like a few like similarities and repetitions that

1123
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 7: I have, but I haven't gotten down to the point

1124
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 7: of like, this is why you know what? No, I

1125
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 7: think I have a My first love is music, secondest film,

1126
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 7: thirdest journalism, and my fourthest comedy. So I think a

1127
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 7: lot of that comes from watching comedians and not looking

1128
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 7: past the joke, looking at the timing, looking at you know,

1129
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 7: looking at their timing, their writing. I just went to

1130
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 7: the comedy store for their first time so I can

1131
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 7: see it up close, and then I went again and seeing, oh,

1132
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 7: you're doing the same jokes, like they're working on their

1133
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 7: on their craft. So I think a lot of that

1134
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 7: wit comes from wanting to evoke one of the emotions,

1135
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 7: ether it be happy, sad, anger, or laughter. So I

1136
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 7: think right now I'm going to credit that to my

1137
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 7: love for my love for the comedy and timing.

1138
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 5: You said one girl was a comedian man, excuse.

1139
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's funny. It feel like I'm being a comedian.

1140
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 7: Yeah with the laugh track. Yeah, I love comedy.

1141
00:43:58,840 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 5: Who's your favorite comedian?

1142
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 6: I don't really have one. I think I just love

1143
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 6: the arts. I haven't really found one.

1144
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 7: I think I'll probably find that as I go to

1145
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 7: more shows and see them in person.

1146
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, what song.

1147
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: Albums you are you most proud of? From a lyricism standpoint.

1148
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 6: I'll probably say I want I loved.

1149
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 7: Like I said, I created thousands, not thousands, but a

1150
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 7: lot of songs.

1151
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 6: I feel like already always say, yo, thousands.

1152
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 7: A lot of one on Yeah, a lot of songs.

1153
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 7: But I am proud of this is being like a

1154
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 7: complete body of work. But I want to say I

1155
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 7: think neighborhood, neighborhood, that's my favorite.

1156
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, neighborhood. And that was.

1157
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 7: That was just a just stream of consciousness, like just

1158
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 7: I I didn't understand when I when I.

1159
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 6: Got the first verse done.

1160
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 7: I was like, Okay, here's an opportunity to talk about

1161
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 7: I guess perspective. I have this trend in my writing

1162
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 7: where sometimes the first verse is kind of like the

1163
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 7: second verse.

1164
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 6: But that's that was.

1165
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 7: I feel like that trend being graduated and just expounded upon.

1166
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 7: And I think a hard second after Neighborhood was going

1167
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 7: to be Impossible, the last song that I recorded for

1168
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 7: the album, and that's when the budgets running out.

1169
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 6: I don't know if I can afford my engineer anymore.

1170
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 7: Like something out to shake right now, And I think

1171
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 7: I want to give love to Andrew Keller, my engineer,

1172
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 7: who did a lot of like the vocal production and

1173
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 7: stuff on this.

1174
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 6: But like that's the last session.

1175
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 7: I was like, you know what, let's trip it down,

1176
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 7: none of that crazy, crazy stuff we've been doing for Impossible.

1177
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 7: I was like, let me just you know, talk to

1178
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 7: the perspective of the first person who told someone you

1179
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 7: can't do this. I kind of I wrote that song

1180
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 7: from the perspective of the first person to say, well,

1181
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 7: that person, but the person that told them they couldn't

1182
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 7: do it, and like and so on and so forth. This

1183
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 7: trend of just projecting that you can't do that to

1184
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 7: the next person.

1185
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 6: So those two I probably say, I love depending on that.

1186
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like, okay, cause it seems like it's a

1187
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 4: middle finger to all those nays says.

1188
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 7: Probably probably uh huh, okay, I'm gonna do it anyway. Yeah,

1189
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 7: I think subliminity It definitely was that. And you know,

1190
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 7: I say this is my Icebreakers, so like even the

1191
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 7: first line on my debut album is someone stopped me

1192
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 7: and said, hey, do have you seen this spider Man?

1193
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 7: Like yes, it gets as straightest level as that all

1194
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 7: the way down to like a daddy mama drama.

1195
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: MM.

1196
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 7: So if you listen to if you haven't listened to

1197
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 7: it again with that perspective, I literally started reading Icebreaker

1198
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 7: for this album.

1199
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 4: Right, what's your dad think about all the success that

1200
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 4: you are experiencing right now?

1201
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 6: He loves it. He loves it.

1202
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 7: I remember, like right before, I remember the conversation you

1203
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 7: had with me once, say maybe twenty eighteen or twenty yeah,

1204
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 7: like into twenty eighteen when he came in and brought

1205
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 7: the chair in the room and said, yeah, your mama said, what.

1206
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 6: Y'all was talking about?

1207
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 7: Your saying, you know when we just had that conversation

1208
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 7: with your parents, when you were able to process your childhood,

1209
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 7: you just wanna have that conversation with him.

1210
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 6: And he came like, your mama said, well tell me

1211
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 6: what you was saying. You put the chair down.

1212
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 7: You was like, but you need to find out what

1213
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 7: you're gonna do, cause usually if it don't happen for

1214
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 7: people around this time, it usually doesn't happen mm.

1215
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 6: And a few months later for him to.

1216
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 7: Come home from work, I'm like, yo, Daddy, I about

1217
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 7: to dip child be read about to reing me to

1218
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 7: uh l to la. I just remember him sit down saying, man,

1219
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 7: it's it's all happened so fast, but I wanna go

1220
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 7: back a few a few weeks before that, when I

1221
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 7: told him, like, yo, Dad, I really don't want to

1222
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 7: work at a gas station anymore. I really want to

1223
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 7: put all into my music. And he told me, like, yo,

1224
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 7: the reason I'm doing all of this because I notice

1225
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 7: what you want to do. And Barry Movie s he

1226
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 7: had this map of Boma in Texas and I didn't

1227
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 7: know what it was. It was just a big scroll

1228
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 7: and he got it and he like hold his in

1229
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 7: of it and he held it and then he dropped

1230
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 7: it out was a map of Boma and he said,

1231
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 7: you gonna put both money on the map.

1232
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 5: Wow.

1233
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I wanna when I talk about Daddy Mama drama,

1234
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 7: and I want to show the whole spectrum of your

1235
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 7: parents as you're going through this, and your family and

1236
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 7: your friends accepting this to always say what we're doing

1237
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 7: is achievable, but sometimes it can be unbelievable. Whatever we

1238
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 7: are here, So don't be jaded, don't take it a

1239
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 7: personal that people don't see it. As long as you

1240
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 7: see it, that's all that matters.

1241
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 2: You also touch on relationships and women and what do

1242
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 2: you think the feedback has been from that side of

1243
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: things in terms of making that type of content.

1244
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 7: From the the women who talked to me about the album,

1245
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 7: they they love the R and B.

1246
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 6: They they just love it. So I think that's just me.

1247
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 6: I think that's tea.

1248
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 5: But is this some vulnerability in it or is it?

1249
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 5: Is it just more save to you? Oh?

1250
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 6: No, definitely vulnerability.

1251
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 7: I think I gotta go back to giving Drake the

1252
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 7: credit of making that cool and acceptable to be that.

1253
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 6: Like I remember, like I.

1254
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 7: Said, when those girls showed me Drake, like I was

1255
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 7: immediate in the studio, doing my horrible impersonation of the

1256
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 7: behindest vulnerable, putting voice memodes.

1257
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 6: From my dad and my boy like, doing all of that,

1258
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 6: you know.

1259
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 7: But I think just you know, with his offering to

1260
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 7: the game, you know, there's many students who just took

1261
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 7: that and expounded upon it. So I think that's what

1262
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 7: That's definitely where it comes from, for sure.

1263
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 4: And there was a girl that was real significant in

1264
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 4: your life that passed away.

1265
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

1266
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say how important was heard? Yeah,

1267
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 7: you know, very important, very important. I want to give

1268
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 7: a give love, give love to the family.

1269
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 6: You know, I don't want to.

1270
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 7: I've not been saying the name just you know, I

1271
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 7: don't about absolutely to the family. And that was the

1272
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 7: person she really when I was out of prayer view

1273
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 7: just still DJing off my phone and.

1274
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 6: Like she but she took that seriously.

1275
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 7: She would go with the people like y'all, I know,

1276
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 7: you'll got a party like ts don't need to be

1277
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 7: like the DJ like y'all need to have T was

1278
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 7: like I'm telling y'all tso, And she would be that socialite.

1279
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 7: And I give a credit to a lot of while

1280
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 7: I work the room the way I do because of her.

1281
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 7: So she I think she was the one who was

1282
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 7: like who kept telling me, like, yo, you need to

1283
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 7: really really do this. But I was just being a

1284
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 7: college student, you know, just turning up. But I give

1285
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 7: a lot of credit to what you see today, to

1286
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 7: that family and to her absolutely.

1287
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 5: Because you should, like once one hand of this and

1288
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 5: like you keep to yourself.

1289
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 2: And then you had a line there about new they

1290
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 2: talking about why are we talking in the club.

1291
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 5: It's music's too loud in the club.

1292
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, I think definitely probably I gotta get

1295
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,839

1343
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 7: I think I'm just having a hard time. I'm not

1344
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 7: saying yes so fast cause I hate letting people down.

1345
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 7: So I'm always like, yeah, let's do it. But it's

1346
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 7: like I just have to instead of giving them a

1347
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 7: yes or no, just like you give me a second

1348
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 7: so I could check on my team and make sure

1349
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 7: that my schedule even allows it, because I would hate

1350
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 7: to let you down.

1351
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 5: M that's a good one. I'm about to use that.

1352
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 6: I would hate give me a second.

1353
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, what made you close the obum out with? The

1354
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: original's better? And what's kind of the message find it for.

1355
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 6: The original was better?

1356
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 7: I think that goes back to my t that's all

1357
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 7: of my loves, you know, the love of film and comedy,

1358
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 7: and you know when you were here like, oh they're

1359
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 7: doing another remake. Oh, Like it's just the idea of nostalgia.

1360
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 7: And you know what we usually when nostalgia the reagion

1361
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 7: we love these albums, are these movies is because it's

1362
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 7: connected to a memory. That's why when I dropped my album,

1363
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 7: I was like, I want for your first listen, put

1364
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 7: on some pajamas, wind down, and really take on this experience.

1365
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 7: Because when you attach your memory to the music or

1366
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 7: the art, it's gonna be with you forever. So I

1367
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 7: think the original was better with just like a conversation

1368
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 7: about nostalgia. It's a it's a sonic punchline as well,

1369
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 7: you know, being there with uh with Dylan for a

1370
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 7: hundred from a hundred x R y two K, being

1371
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 7: in there just joking, like having it the song start

1372
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 7: off like this, doing this idiom remix in the middle

1373
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 7: of the song and then going back to the original.

1374
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 7: So that's and not only is it a lyrical punchline,

1375
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 7: it's also a sonic punchline.

1376
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 2: Can go back and listen to it, m Well, I

1377
