Is 103 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: that Has it always been that way? This is a 104 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: newfound thing? 105 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: No, no, No, I've always been a man of faith, you 106 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. That's how I navigated my career. 107 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: It's how I manifested my life the things that I want, 108 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: you know, it's just really being God's guy for real. 109 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 110 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: I think that just got re energized and recharged recently 111 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: with my whole faith obviously like stepping away and having 112 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: you know, just reaching in different places spirituality wise, you 113 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So now coming back to the 114 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: full circle, like doubling back now in terms of like 115 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 3: what I know to be true about God? Would I 116 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: know it be true about my faith and how it 117 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: aligns with me now you see what I'm saying. So, uh, 118 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: it's always been a huge part of me, for sure. 119 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: How do you stay planted in that? Though? I think 120 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: that that still is something that you know, you can 121 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: wave off and you can get the questioning like well 122 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: why why? Though? I get it like if I've always 123 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: been this kind of guy, I've always stood on principal 124 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: morals and tried to put my best foot forward because 125 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: you your spirit doesn't give me a sleeze ball. Yeah, 126 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And sometimes you know, I 127 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: battle with questioning like yo, hold on but this, yeah, 128 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: and why? And so maybe you can give me some 129 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: insight or some of the viewing public some insight as 130 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: to how you can continue to stay grounded and level headed, 131 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, as you move through some of those times 132 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: where it's all and you ain't even looking for a 133 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: light switch, you know what I'm saying, just expecting it 134 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: to get light at some point. 135 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, that's a great question, brou I think what 136 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: I learned too, bro, is like, you know, not trying 137 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: to manipulate your situation, to manipulate where you are, but really. 138 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: To accept that. 139 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: So before there's acceptance, there has to be unacceptance. So 140 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 3: it has to be a space where it's like brou hurt, 141 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like I feel pain. 142 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: This is where I'm at. 143 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: I'm frustrated, I don't trust nobody like you gotta really 144 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: sit in those spaces, in those moments. And the only 145 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: reason I was able to rise to this space because 146 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: I allow myself full space to be able to feel 147 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: what I was feeling. So in those moments of darkness, 148 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 3: like I wasn't trying to turn on the light, you 149 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, just within the darkness, I was 150 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: hoping that God provide me the like as opposed to 151 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: me physics, like I physically need to do something because 152 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: oftentimes that's what we go wrong, is us feeling like 153 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 3: we need to change and we need to do something 154 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: that we need to be more as opposed to just 155 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: being on me. Just be don't even try to be anything, 156 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: Just be in that space. If you and your darkness 157 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: allow yourself to sit there because to me, the more 158 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: that you become and you build a relationship with the darkness, 159 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: now we can introduce you to the light because then 160 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: you understand. 161 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: What it's like to be in the darkness. 162 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: And I think just for me, I've really been in 163 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: the darkness, really been in the thick of it, really 164 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: been in the lessons of it, really been in the 165 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: emotional space trying to figure out, like I've really been there, 166 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: so now to be able to tell people of like, nah, 167 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: this is how I got through it.

Then I seen the light at 169 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel, but it didn't start that way. 170 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: It's one thing to develop when you got a lot 171 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: of help, but it's another thing to develop in a 172 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: dark room. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, And that 173 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: is a hell of a trade to have as a 174 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: human being, is to understand that now you know, I 175 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: can develop in this dog room because God is real, 176 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

I think it rubbed paining a little bit 329 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 3: of like maybe this is something that I'm not a 330 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: part of and or I'm not getting the recognition or 331 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: from it, you know what I'm saying, being that this 332 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: is my thing, you know what I'm saying, or y'all 333 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: attacking me using it, but they ain't attacking him using 334 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: it because I think Jay also was was you know, 335 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: loud about. 336 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: We off that he tried to kind of kill the auto. 337 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: Two right, right, So so that's what I'm saying on 338 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: at that point there, It's like, so imagine that, right, 339 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: So that's that's kind of hovering over the culture and 340 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: the energy, and it's like, you know, people feel some 341 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: type of way, you know what I'm saying, Like I 342 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 3: can imagine paying feeling some type of way internally. So 343 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: you know, when stuff like that happened in comparison to 344 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: and being that Brother was a part of the video 345 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: and then we're using the whip, it's like, you know, 346 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: it's something to comment on. You what I'm saying, I 347 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: didn't like that because I didn't love it neither. I 348 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 3: felt like it was not necessary for Brother to mention that. Uh, 349 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: but either way, I felt like I'm big on seeing 350 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: things from both ends of the perspective. Dog, you did 351 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, like ends of the spectrum rather so 352 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: it's like on one end, you know, in that moment, 353 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: I'm like, Bro's that don't even make sense for you 354 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: even be a right and that big a deal. 355 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: We were trying to hustle. 356 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 4: Bro. 357 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: This don't got nothing to do with who caught his 358 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: seals or whatever that is.

That's that's part of the culture, right. And 371 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't think you guys positioned it like it's my Bugatti. 372 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: It's just like I woke up in a new Bougatti. 373 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: It was a smash record, and. 374 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 3: The reality is is we're gonna have We're gonna have 375 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: a Bugatti that regardless exactly, So that it didn't it didn't. 376 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: You understand what I'm saying. So it didn't. It didn't matter. 377 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 3: The song was a smash in itself and it hit. 378 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: So it's like, I think, you know, sometimes you want 379 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 3: to be a part of something. 380 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: Man. 381 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: I understood that whole situation. I understood the frustrations that 382 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 3: Bro was going through. At that time too, But uh, 383 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 3: it didn't. It didn't affect me, It didn't hinder me. 384 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: I did. 385 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: I never got any questions about it, Like nobody never 386 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 3: said and brought that up like. It was never no energy, 387 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: So it was never anything that I had to deal with. 388 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 3: It was never like bro was trying to suppress this 389 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: or why Bruh doing that? It was never no energy 390 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: like that. It was just like a couple of people 391 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: mentioned that, Hey, that was paying vibe in in a 392 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 3: in a video. 393 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: That was it. Yeah, that's for me. That's as a 394 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: big home man, as someone that lend out calls and 395 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: lend out jeur and lend out certain things. You know, 396 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: I just want to speak against that in our culture. Right, 397 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: Let's not do that to the youngsters coming up, because 398 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: at that point, what records did you really have? Was 399 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: that one of your one of your first like. 400 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: What it all was before that? Oh it was already 401 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: the record. I was already him, you know what I'm saying. 402 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 3: And then Hustle and then cash Flow was before that arrived, 403 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 3: so you was already meelish. Yeah, twenty thirteen was was 404 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: Uh so when that record came, it was just another 405 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: massive record for another. 406 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, you smoked that junt. Let me ask you this. 407 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: I heard also on the Joe Button podcast because I 408 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: don't understand this and maybe you can, you know, help 409 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: gain some clarity. But you said that when you were 410 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: getting out of the CALLI situation, that it was seven figures. 411 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Like, how does that look as 412 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: far as like contract negotiat What does that mean you 413 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: just need to pay a million dollars? Is that what 414 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: the verbage is that U that it is? Or what? 415 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 3: Well, at that time, it was just the number, right, 416 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So before any negotiation anything 417 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: went down, or any discussion around the contract, this is 418 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 3: what bro it initially. But again, I'm a guy, I'm 419 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: a young man who understands the both ends of this, 420 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 3: you know spectrum. So I'm understanding, like, this is just 421 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 3: a fluff number, This is just something to scare me. 422 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: This is something coming off of currently it's frustration and 423 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 3: how we feel and boo boom boom. 424 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 2: But also too, it. 425 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 3: Was very real, very real for me, so and I 426 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 3: knew at the reality at that particular time, I couldn't 427 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 3: just up and give a bro meal. You see what 428 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 3: I'm saying for the situation, and I feel like it 429 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 3: and I feel like that would have been just taking 430 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: advantage of. 431 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: A nigga too. 432 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 3: At that point too, I'm like, you know, to give 433 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 3: you an M for real, like you know what I'm saying, 434 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 3: what I know, my work done spoke for itself. 435 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying. In the rig you 436 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: you understand, yeah, kind of paper with this, especially because 437 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: you may have been in a deal that wasn't that 438 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: lucrative and it just bopped right right, So they still 439 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: are winning from that perspective, you know. So it's like, 440 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, if we right have something, you've built something right, 441 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: which is incredible. You know, the moment when you want 442 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: to like slide out, I think for me, it's like, 443 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: oh no, Like anybody, depending upon who they are, they 444 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: gonna make it difficult for you.

And 450 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 3: then once the you know, the hot heads cool down 451 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: and everything like that.

But 491 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: there is no relationship, not to say that there will there. 492 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 3: There won't be a relationship nor a conversation, which I 493 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 3: feel that maybe there will be God willing to see 494 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 3: it so that it will be a conversation between us 495 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 3: two to mend some things out. Or just have a conversation. 496 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 3: But you know, nah, there's no relationship at this current moment. 497 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: But what's holding it back? What's what do you think is? 498 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: I mean? Because if you you cleared the debt, you 499 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: pay whatever was ass you guys negotiated a number, would 500 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: you guys seeming to be so close during that run, 501 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: what would make it at this point we haven't even 502 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: spoken right, right, Like, what is what? What would you 503 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: contribute that to? Uh? 504 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: Well, I would say there's a few things that contributes 505 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 3: to that, right. So that was a moment in time 506 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: for me where I took a step back from the industry, 507 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: right to just go more introspective, to learn about myself, 508 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 3: to recreate myself, rebrand and all of that stuff. So 509 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 3: that was that whole process that when down right, when 510 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 3: I became independent. So I went on my own personal 511 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: journey to find me, and I feel like he went 512 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 3: on his own personal journey as well. 513 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: To find him. 514 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 3: We just have yet to meet or be in the 515 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 3: same environment or space, you know what I'm saying, So 516 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 3: like that's really just the difference. But when I've seen 517 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 3: him out, our last time interacting was love, It was 518 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: big hugs, it was my brother. It was I appreciate you. 519 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 3: That was our final interaction at that particular time. But 520 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: it ain't no like bad Blood is just I'm doing 521 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: me bro doing him. We just haven't seen each other 522 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 3: in that environment. But I've I had other homies who's 523 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 3: connected to me that's seen him again. 524 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: And callin is always based on love. 525 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 3: Man, He's always like that sort of guy, the the 526 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 3: no non confrontational you dig so so yeah, they've seen 527 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 3: him out and it's been all love, you dig what 528 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 3: I'm saying.

It 1031 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 3: would be that back and forth, like did you lose 1032 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 3: any of that? Like some of it some of it? 1033 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 3: Let me say, did I lose any of it? 1034 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: Some of it got diluted? Yeah? 1035 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 3: Right, So there was moments, There was a time where 1036 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,760 Speaker 3: like when I did separate from the whole label, there 1037 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 3: was like, you know, but I also didn't try to 1038 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 3: reach out. There was some artists that I did try 1039 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,399 Speaker 3: to reach out to, you know what I'm saying during 1040 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 3: that time, whereas like man niggas weren't really trying to 1041 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,280 Speaker 3: show love in that way. You did, what I'm saying, 1042 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 3: but it wasn't crazy, crazy pushback because I didn't really 1043 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 3: try to cert I really didn't try to reach for 1044 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 3: the higher up artists, if that makes sense. But why 1045 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 3: is that because you were protecting your peace or because 1046 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 3: again I just named off you Future three one hundred 1047 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 3: and eighty five. 1048 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 1: Million, right right right. 1049 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,879 Speaker 3: I think a little bit of it was like I think, 1050 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 3: a little bit honestly bro from being transparent, was like 1051 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 3: I didn't know where I stood with those artists anymore. 1052 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 2: I no longer knew. 1053 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 3: Our relationship at that particular time and how strong that was. 1054 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 3: So a part of me was a little bit in 1055 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 3: fear of actually reaching out to particular people to be 1056 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 3: able to want to connect with them and say, hey, bro, 1057 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 3: let's get on this feature. Because of the vibe of 1058 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 3: being rejected, you know what I'm saying. I didn't want 1059 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 3: to be rejected and reach out to something, you know 1060 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, and just go through that. So for me, 1061 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 3: I just kind of focus on my landscape and what 1062 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,440 Speaker 3: I can do now. So I still took the steps 1063 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 3: to reach out to certain artists and some you know, 1064 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 3: wouldn't respond, and some would, but a lot of those 1065 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 3: guys that I working with before, I didn't go back 1066 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 3: and reach out to them guys because of this to 1067 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 3: the idea of rejecting or the idea of like them 1068 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: being slow motion, you know what I'm saying. 1069 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: And like whatever I thought I had with these individuals, 1070 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: and like you said, there's a fear associated with that, 1071 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,879 Speaker 1: and I don't want to feel a way about you, dudes, 1072 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: because I'll stop then I'll stop performing the songs, which 1073 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 1: then hurts my fans and then probably hurts my shows. 1074 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 1: Like it's a domino effect. So I'm gonna just leave 1075 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 1: that alone. But that's unfortunate, bro, It's so unfortunate. You 1076 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: and Chris Brown should be able to get another one 1077 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 1: in you in future. Like we're talking about records, that 1078 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,800 Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty five is not nothing to sneeze at. 1079 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: Like that's a very big deal, bro That's you dig 1080 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 1: almost a half a billion views and that's just on YouTube. 1081 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,479 Speaker 1: That don't count Spotify, Apple. We may be talking about 1082 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: a billion streams if you, you know, put them all together, man, 1083 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: And I hate that. I hate that this industry moves 1084 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: that way. But I also won't expose that to the 1085 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: artist that's out there that really live in the moment 1086 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 1: and build your team while you on that journey, because 1087 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: you could be next to some of these people and thinking, no, 1088 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: it's always going to be like this.

So that's why it's important 1128 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,760 Speaker 1: to nurture those relationships because now I'm playing independent ball 1129 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,840 Speaker 1: and and I'll be in a situation to be able 1130 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: to capitalize off some of the things now that I've 1131 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: built in the past that he won off of.

The 1135 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 1: chemistry was great, the songs did amazing, and sometimes these labels, 1136 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 1: that's what they're looking at. We just spoke about. They're 1137 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 1: looking at the analytics. So it's hard to say no 1138 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 1: to the money because they all look at money around here. 1139 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: Three hundred and eighty five million on that junt, five 1140 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: hundred million over here, seventeen million over here, you know, 1141 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: and millions are not something to just sneeze at.
