Speaker 2: you must be going to that party. I'm like, actually
Speaker 2: we are. They're like, yeah, we just probably had five
Speaker 2: or six planes. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, it was seven hundred I think and thirty something
Speaker 3: people that literally flew no one, No one there was
Speaker 3: from Minneapolis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was it.
Speaker 2: Was about the economy.
Speaker 1: That was great.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, listen, I listen.
Speaker 3: I am proud to mean something to somebody, and I
Speaker 3: think my evolution in this business and who I am
Speaker 3: the people, that's my legacy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Not just that I've curated and had some of the
Speaker 3: most incredible times, you know what I'm saying, celebrating or
Speaker 3: in a celebratory manner, but like I really mean, some
Speaker 3: of the people, I think they take value in the
Speaker 3: fact that I've been married twenty four years, the fact
Speaker 3: that I've been present in my kids' lives publicly, you know,
Speaker 3: in the right ways, not just for photo ops. I
Speaker 3: think all the these things are like, you know, things
Speaker 3: that really resonate with people. So I don't take seven
Speaker 3: hundred plus people flying anywhere, let alone. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, two three four, if you can effectively expired. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and look at god, though it was fifty degrees that
Speaker 3: night in Minneapolis October, I had heater, was like it
Speaker 3: was gonna be freezing.
Speaker 4: I had sludy vegan just because I knew people needed
Speaker 4: to put that. Did we not?
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And guess what.
Speaker 3: I didn't get one no way sloppy toppy until I
Speaker 3: got to the hotel. I didn't get nothing. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I didn't get nothing off the food.
Speaker 3: And you know, if it cost me eighteen thousand dollars
Speaker 3: put that truck on the truck. I just want to
Speaker 3: tell you, I hope you enjoyed it in eighteen grand Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that was a mon That part came for real, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: There was some things that happened at that part. I
Speaker 3: don't really want to get into that. But other than that,
Speaker 3: everybody had a good time.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, of course there's some behind the scenes, yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Know, behind the per the purple, purple, yeah, purple curtain purple. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was painful, man, it was painful, but nonetheless God prevailed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I think I think love prevailed man.
Speaker 1: People for sure. You know what I'm saying, You've, uh,
Speaker 1: you've shown authentic love, genuine love for everybody. Everybody, Yeah, everybody.
Speaker 2: I expected to see everybody that I saw at your right.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like I was like, oh wait they came, No,
Speaker 2: we all came. We were all supposed to be there.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. We're all supposed to be
Speaker 2: there celebrating our brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a you know, a spiritual moment for me.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'll do another one until the next
Speaker 3: big birthday. But yeah, I think, like, you know, as
Speaker 3: I've become more aligned with my passion and my purpose,
Speaker 3: you know, I.
Speaker 4: Just feel like it's another level, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So that was kind of my old to the party life,
Speaker 3: you know, and the next level will be more you know.
Speaker 3: Not that that wasn't me the for not that was
Speaker 3: an exceptional but I think there's some real like God's
Speaker 3: work and place for you know.
Speaker 1: So let's let's let's let's go back to the beginning.
Speaker 1: Let's let's go back to the house. Man, let's go
Speaker 1: let's go back to where it all started. I remember
Speaker 1: my first time seeing you at Republic Gardens. Wow, the
Speaker 1: shot to Mark Bard, shot at to Mark Bar. That
Speaker 1: was my first time seeing It's like, who's running things? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's running running, So he was scream called running thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. But even before that, man, you know, how
Speaker 1: did all of this begin? Because you know, you you
Speaker 1: you seem to be born to to be this.
Speaker 4: I appreciate this, you know, I was.
Speaker 3: I was always you know, conscious of my people skills
Speaker 3: and the value that came with the ability to move people.
Speaker 3: And it started in the streets. You know, I wanted
Speaker 3: to hustle to have right. I didn't, you know, necessarily
Speaker 3: want to be a hustler or want to be in
Speaker 3: the street doing the wrong thing, but I think it
Speaker 3: was a necessity. Like much of us at that age,
Speaker 3: you saw, you know, what you saw, and you wanted
Speaker 3: to emulate that on some level. So but being in
Speaker 3: the street taught me unmeasurable, invaluable lessons of how to
Speaker 3: move in life.
Speaker 4: And I just you know, I was.
Speaker 3: Always the good time, even on the strip, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, or even you know, in the midst
Speaker 3: of some danger, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It was always I was that relief for people.
Speaker 3: But when I was in the twelfth grade, I started
Speaker 3: relentlessly going to try and be a part of this
Speaker 3: party scene you mentioned with Republic Guards, the Ritz.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Killing the jar Row.
Speaker 3: Chicago's like all these places, and I'm like, you know,
Speaker 3: we in the street so we can pop some more
Speaker 3: at White Star, you know what I mean, and that
Speaker 3: shit all, you know what I mean. So then I'm like, Damn,
Speaker 3: I don't really want to be a hustle on. I
Speaker 3: want to be in its life because you know, our
Speaker 3: backdrop is Howard University. How do you not adore h
Speaker 3: you you I did not a lot of people think
Speaker 3: I did because we terrorized that motherfucker you.
Speaker 4: Know I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: But were at every party and big shot to Ron
Speaker 3: de Berry, God Rest of Dead, you know, Steve Solomon
Speaker 3: got a shout out, Danny Davis like, oh you know.
Speaker 3: It was so many promoters that like we were like
Speaker 3: in manti Wanza who managed Bizz and they were they
Speaker 3: would fuck with us, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 3: I got the opportunity with Manti and Biz to bring
Speaker 3: Biz's crazy. Now you can imagine I'm getting money. Don't
Speaker 3: nobody want to carry no crates. But if it means
Speaker 3: I could get into these clubs and be a part
Speaker 3: of this, I'm trying to figure it out. Eventually, that
Speaker 3: led to him taking us to Uva and all surrounding area.
Speaker 3: So I just was kind of like, you know, wanting
Speaker 3: to be around it, and one foot in front of
Speaker 3: the other led me to like opportunities. And I tried
Speaker 3: to grab the mic one night and Bez looked at
Speaker 3: me like I stole his you know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 3: beatboxing machine or something like. He was looking at me like,
Speaker 3: what are you doing. I was like, yo, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. He's like, all right, go ahead. So
Speaker 3: no conversation at all. You just why you just felt
Speaker 3: it in your spirit. Well I had kind of been
Speaker 3: inching up to it, saying I want to do it
Speaker 3: because of the reaction like Biz. You know, Bierz doesn't
Speaker 3: get the credit he deserves as far as an entertainer.
Speaker 3: He was playing theme songs from television shows at the
Speaker 3: party and it was going crazy. He was stopping the
Speaker 3: party because he couldn't really DJ all the way in
Speaker 3: the beginning, and just you know, doing some beatbox shit
Speaker 3: and then you know, bring the music back, I mean,
Speaker 3: whatever it was to make you have a good time.
Speaker 3: And me watching him, I'm like, I could do that.
Speaker 3: I might be I might not be a beatboxing mother,
Speaker 3: but I could talk that shit, especially to these women.
Speaker 3: So a few times I had snuck on, but not
Speaker 3: in the main kind of capacity. But I think it
Speaker 3: was one night at UVA that man did something He's like,
Speaker 3: you know, and I got the mic and I just
Speaker 3: went for it, you know what I mean, no permission,
Speaker 3: no nothing, and I did to throw your hands in
Speaker 3: the airwave you just don't care.
Speaker 4: And it worked and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, see, I told.
Speaker 4: You, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And I think from then on I just would I
Speaker 3: would tamper with it. But literally, like the DC thing
Speaker 3: was like a training ground because Atlanta became my playground. Atlanta,
Speaker 3: like Leo had called me my cousin, Leo Big Shouter,
Speaker 3: Leo Williams.
Speaker 4: He would go on to go to college. I got
Speaker 4: locked up my senior.
Speaker 3: Year, so he would go high Yah senior high school,
Speaker 3: and he would go on to Morehouse College, and he
Speaker 3: would always tell me, you gotta come.
Speaker 2: So Low got y'all to Atlanta.
Speaker 4: Yeah Leo went first.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Leo went to Morehouse and you know, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to go finish our basketball dream. I went to
Speaker 3: Montgomery College, you know, the community college, community college, and
Speaker 3: I was hooping. I pushed somebody out the air one night,
Speaker 3: caused the whole melee. You know, all this dumb you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So he kept calling me, you
Speaker 3: got to come down him and fuck that basketball. So
Speaker 3: you playing Morris Brown or Clark or Moore come to Morehouse.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't think I got the grades for that,
Speaker 3: but I'll come check you. So he kept asking me,
Speaker 3: and finally, in the spring of ninety two, he said,
Speaker 3: you gotta come to Freaknik. And I'm like, what is
Speaker 3: this magical thing that you just said, not knowing what
Speaker 3: it was, It's Freaknick. I'm like, but how do I
Speaker 3: sign up with.
Speaker 2: The sound like something you want to be?
Speaker 3: I'm nineteen years old. I'm like, freak Nick. He's like,
Speaker 3: come on, damn, and I'm telling you. So I got
Speaker 3: cleared while people let me go down to him. I
Speaker 3: was going to visit colleges and it changed my life,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I was going to visit collegists.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was, let me tell you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah right, but I see this beautiful black oasis
Speaker 3: of like you know, and by the time of me
Speaker 3: getting there, Lee had already told every Bible scarface he
Speaker 3: had told like he had it wasn't no social media.
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, he gonna be out, He's gonna get out,
Speaker 2: He'll benick.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So you don't want no social media? So he telling it?
Speaker 3: So I come, I mean, should kill Stewart off the plane?
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, a lot of people that
Speaker 3: end up becoming, you know, great friends and running this
Speaker 3: industry of ours, but fresh off the plans, like this
Speaker 3: is where I'm supposed to be, and we were just
Speaker 3: doing all the DC shit. And what I mean by
Speaker 3: DC shit is like we was knocking everything DWN Like
Speaker 3: it was just a who can we get?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: It was like so many beautiful women. Obviously you know, there's.
Speaker 3: An all girls school across from Morehouse, Spellman College, one
Speaker 3: of my favorite places to attend, you know, in that era,
Speaker 3: you know, And then he said they've been Clark Atlanta University,
Speaker 3: the most underrated HPCU on the planet. And it was all,
Speaker 3: you know, this one big congregation. It was all this
Speaker 3: one big you know what I mean. And I was
Speaker 3: trying to really plot on how I was gonna take
Speaker 3: it over. So I had to go home and I toltally.
Speaker 3: I said, fall, I'm coming to school. So I'm trying
Speaker 3: to enroll. No one would accept me but the newly
Speaker 3: accredited Morse Brown. Yeah, I love you, thank you. Big
Speaker 3: shout to Morris Brown College.
Speaker 2: Enrolled.
Speaker 3: I enrolled. Man got down there. The first week I
Speaker 3: got down there, we do we do a party at
Speaker 3: our apartment. And yes, my entry into school was not
Speaker 3: a dorm.
Speaker 4: We was living.
Speaker 3: We was in all Steale out there by six Flags
Speaker 3: and we had a two bedroom the pools right next door.
Speaker 2: It was the thing.
Speaker 3: So we do a party the first week that you
Speaker 3: moved in. First week, the first week. Now we'd have
Speaker 3: made an impression during freedomy leo them down and running
Speaker 3: the muck anyway, they already like that. Twenty six twenty
Speaker 3: is known. We do a party called twenty six twenty.
Speaker 3: Blunt Heill presents the cookout, and we did it out
Speaker 3: our house. I'm gonna provide the paper fly so you
Speaker 3: can show it right now. Okay, when I tell you
Speaker 3: this party was so legendary, not just because I ended
Speaker 3: the night and some spiedos and Timulus, but it was
Speaker 3: so legendary. Yeah yeah, yeah, I know, shit gets crazy,
Speaker 3: but it went. It went so dumb. They were like
Speaker 3: when the next party. Everything from that day for was
Speaker 3: win the next party. So Big Shot the Blue he
Speaker 3: Marco Blue Johnson. He owned Marco's Peter and he was
Speaker 3: like my first big brother. And Leo had a car,
Speaker 3: but Leo was kind of stingy with his car. So
Speaker 3: I would kind of link up with Blue to go terrorized,
Speaker 3: right because I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Be in there. I definitely need a car in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, you had to live in a Yeah, we
Speaker 4: lived in Austelle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I literally, like, you know, link up with Blue
Speaker 3: and we started doing promotions for the Phoenix, and you know,
Speaker 3: Phoenix Phoenix Night Club ended up becoming the warehouse where
Speaker 3: we made the legendary funk Clinic. But the Phoenix was like,
Speaker 3: you know, it was in the city and for Atlanta.
Speaker 3: If you know anything about Atlanta, all the popping parties
Speaker 3: outside of one twelve and maybe a few little restaurant
Speaker 3: spots like sports bars type things were outside of Atlanta
Speaker 3: all the popping clubs, right, So this club was by
Speaker 3: the AUC, the closest club to the AUC. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: I'm assuming things went on there, but it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It was more of an Atlanta crowd in the school crowd.
Speaker 3: So I'm making my bones getting to know the city,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So we do a Big
Speaker 3: Head in Blue Joint. That was the first party kind
Speaker 3: of collect I'm big here, Kenny, everybody what Kenny?
Speaker 4: That was why you didn't know that?
Speaker 2: That's why I.
Speaker 3: Literally on the flyers a Big Head and Blue Joint.
Speaker 3: That was like the first So long story short. My
Speaker 3: crew kept coming to the club, Leo, Damon, GJ. Like
Speaker 3: you know, everybody was coming to the club, and we
Speaker 3: just kept making a name for ourselves. This is why
Speaker 3: I want to say that all aspiring you know, lifestyle
Speaker 3: specialists people are the peace. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: to your success like I just was, you know, I
Speaker 3: knew everybody. I made everybody feel comfortable. To mind, it's
Speaker 3: not my party yet, I'm promoting for the club. And
Speaker 3: so long story short, man, we get an opportunity to
Speaker 3: get the actual club and do a night. So when
Speaker 3: when this happened, Steve Solomon that did Chicago's in DC,
Speaker 3: you know Steve, he came down. He's like, Yo, you
Speaker 3: need to meet my man AG. I'm like, who is
Speaker 3: this AG guy? He's like, he does parties of Ethiopian
Speaker 3: Vibrations and you know he's a great promoter. I was like,
Speaker 3: all right, cool, you know they about to give me
Speaker 3: the spot.
Speaker 4: What's up? Let's link up. So we ended up doing
Speaker 4: the party.
Speaker 3: We were called the fly Boys at first, right, and
Speaker 3: it was a whack ass name that Steve Solomon god
Speaker 3: rested dead made up.
Speaker 4: But I hated the fucking name.
Speaker 3: I always want the name of twentyes to twenty But
Speaker 3: I had to kind of like prove that I was
Speaker 3: the one noting to. So Alex get one who's now
Speaker 3: AG Entertainment does AG turing Steve Solomon. We went in
Speaker 3: and we started doing you know, I don't even know
Speaker 3: what the name is. I know we were fly Boys.
Speaker 3: But anyway, long story short, we got an opportunity to
Speaker 3: take the club. You know what I'm saying from this
Speaker 3: current partnership, and the owner was like, you know, he
Speaker 3: wanted to basically give it to the twenty six to
Speaker 3: twenty crew, and I was like, I don't know if
Speaker 3: I want to do that yet, but let me tell
Speaker 3: him we're gonna call it twenty six twenty and see
Speaker 3: what happened. So we end up calling him twenty six
Speaker 3: twenty percents and da da da da da. So my
Speaker 3: crew of course was like, they ain't twenty six twenty,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1: We need to own it outright.
Speaker 3: So around this time is when I meet Wendell and
Speaker 3: when daw White came in to play, like you know,
Speaker 3: one as a big brother, but he also was outside
Speaker 3: outside like he's from Detroit whatever thought of everybody from Detroit.
Speaker 4: Everybody knew slick and he was getting it.
Speaker 3: I mean when we met him, O game went to
Speaker 3: another level because he had the black on black Lexus
Speaker 3: SC three whatever it was with the BBS. He had
Speaker 3: the land Cruise and the range rover, all the things.
Speaker 3: So you can imagine twenty six twenty playing without toys,
Speaker 3: and then twenty six twenty playing with toys. There's a
Speaker 3: whole nother offer. So then it was like, all right,
Speaker 3: I need to take this. So I asked Alex. I
Speaker 3: was like, Yo, I'm about to take this. Steve is
Speaker 3: making three thousand dollars a week for nothing. He don't
Speaker 3: come here, he don't promote. You know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 3: what's up? You're coming with me? It's like, I can't
Speaker 3: really do that to Steve. So I was like, all right, peace,
Speaker 3: We remain coolpt up, kept it moving. But that ninety four.
Speaker 2: So now you got your own club.
Speaker 3: I have the club, the main club in Atlanta that
Speaker 3: was called the Phoenix, and then that fall went to
Speaker 3: the warehouse, and the warehouse is where we created funk
Speaker 3: Clinic Friday. This is where the you know, the notorious
Speaker 3: Big Mac promo fight and all this shit with Mark
Speaker 3: Pitts who used to be called Gucci Don and him
Speaker 3: and then puffing them trying to you know, wolfing all them,
Speaker 3: trying to control the situation that's pulling them things out
Speaker 3: of me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is all yeah, this is all like fun facts.
Speaker 3: It's been in a couple of interviews, but it literally
Speaker 3: went to another level because not only have we did
Speaker 3: the groundwork in Atlanta and made bones as far as
Speaker 3: like being known throughout the city. But we had the
Speaker 3: auc on lot and anything that came to Atlanta came
Speaker 3: do me.
Speaker 2: A favor, Do me a favor, right, because you know,
Speaker 2: we always go back to our podcast being informative, in
Speaker 2: our podcast being something that you can learn from fact
Speaker 2: and that you can pick up. Obviously, your business grew
Speaker 2: to other things, but at this point you are a
Speaker 2: club promoter. Yeah, can you give us a little bit
Speaker 2: of a breakdown of how that works psych for a
Speaker 2: young dude, young girl who wants to get into art,
Speaker 2: not even young whatever, whoever wants to get into that space.
Speaker 2: How does that work right where you have your night?
Speaker 2: Do you actually rent the club from the owners of
Speaker 2: the Phoenix or is it just like, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get the door, y'all take the bar. How does that
Speaker 2: usually work for promoters that you can make you can
Speaker 2: make a living in this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely so, Like I mentioned the Bigger and Blue joint,
Speaker 3: we were doing promotions for the Phoenix. We got to
Speaker 3: the point where we're eventually rented the club and we
Speaker 3: benefited from having autonomy at the door. Right as you
Speaker 3: get bigger, you have options to also get pieces of
Speaker 3: the bar and things of that nature. And I haven't
Speaker 3: been a promoter in a long time, but if I
Speaker 3: was advising anyone on how to get into it, it
Speaker 3: would be to own your own right, Like if you
Speaker 3: can't afford to get a brick and mortar and do
Speaker 3: your own own version, get with a good partner that
Speaker 3: need your services. Understand your value and what you bring
Speaker 3: to the table. If you can put a thousand, two
Speaker 3: thousand people in the building, you know, you can get
Speaker 3: twenty five percent of the doll or you can get
Speaker 3: fifty percent of the door, you can get one hundred
Speaker 3: percent of the doing and get twenty five percent of
Speaker 3: the bars, all how you negotiate. So I think that
Speaker 3: ownership is key when you're getting into anything. But you
Speaker 3: have to start somewhere, So don't be scared to like,
Speaker 3: get involved in what somebody else is doing. Get noticed
Speaker 3: for what your talents and superpowers are, getting noticed for
Speaker 3: your ability to put people in the building, and then
Speaker 3: grow from there.
Speaker 4: But there's all types of scenarios that you.
Speaker 2: Can create for you And you were doing this once
Speaker 2: a week, once a.
Speaker 3: Week, yeah, okay, and then we grew into off you know,
Speaker 3: off of the or we moved from the warehouse to
Speaker 3: you know, we had an Olympic Nike Village of ninety six.
Speaker 4: For New Years, we did the Fox it was called
Speaker 4: Celebrity Fair.
Speaker 3: We partnered with Noontime and you know we started doing
Speaker 3: bigger and you know, better things. And we actually had
Speaker 3: the Snoop Tour when I was twenty years old. We
Speaker 3: got locked up. We had that the Omnis now well
Speaker 3: I think it's State Farm Arena now, but we had
Speaker 3: like when Jodish he was on tour and they was
Speaker 3: doing the whole things we had that. We end up
Speaker 3: not doing it because Snowpad got locked up. But we
Speaker 3: I mean we went from zero to hero quick.
Speaker 1: So when you were when you were building, like building
Speaker 1: the pieces right, in terms of growing as a promoter,
Speaker 1: what do you feel like was the most important nuance?
Speaker 1: Would it be DJ in terms of music being able
Speaker 1: to hold those people there, or how many women you
Speaker 1: were able to get into that spot to make the
Speaker 1: dudes come along, or a balance of making sure you
Speaker 1: have the right dudes in there to like, yeah, those pieces,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Like, really, I think great music is sets the tone
Speaker 3: for the party and then you have to have the people.
Speaker 4: I think women are the catalysts for a great party.
Speaker 3: I think they make men, you know, move, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean if you not woman anywhere. Yeah, in
Speaker 3: our time, if you had the women and they were celebrating,
Speaker 3: the men had no choice or they looked lame, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And this is hard dancing. This ain't just that. This
Speaker 4: is your sweating, like you are busting a.
Speaker 1: Movie party shirt.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and women man have you know, And I always
Speaker 3: say this, they were the best promotion, you know. I
Speaker 3: think we were like twenty five deep and so it
Speaker 3: wasn't nothing ween touched. But our goal was to have
Speaker 3: women talk about us, not just in that way, but
Speaker 3: just in the you know, if you want to have
Speaker 3: a good time, you gotta go. I mean even when
Speaker 3: I never forget. I met my wife at Howard University's
Speaker 3: homecoming nineteen ninety seven. Her best friend, I'm not best friend,
Speaker 3: but her friend at the time. When she inquired about me,
Speaker 3: said that, oh, I wouldn't make him your man, but
Speaker 3: he's good for a good party, or he'll be good
Speaker 3: for you know, get you into all the hot events.
Speaker 3: I was like, no, you didn't just try to ruin
Speaker 3: my life before it even started.
Speaker 4: You know, to bear.
Speaker 1: I don't know where you at.
Speaker 3: It's twenty four years of love and happiness too, great
Speaker 3: function in humans.
Speaker 4: I appreciate your high five halfway high five.
Speaker 3: Yea, you almost killed it before it begain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, sorry, I just had to get it off
Speaker 4: my chato.
Speaker 3: You know, sometime the reputation proceeds love is love is
Speaker 3: is love us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is how it goes. That's how it goes.
Speaker 2: So you're promoting in Atlanta and obviously you're coming across everybody.
Speaker 2: When is the turn to say, not only do I
Speaker 2: want to have the night life, I also want to
Speaker 2: have the music that creates the nightlife.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, that's a great question. You guys are getting
Speaker 3: good at this. I really applaud you and you professionalism.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, you know what.
Speaker 3: I was in the parking lot of one twelve one
Speaker 3: night and big shout to Dave Gates and god Rest,
Speaker 3: Claude Austin Dallas Austin's brother. They used to come to
Speaker 3: my club every week, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 3: at this time they had Monica. They had y'all so
Speaker 3: stupid they had, you know, I think illegal may have
Speaker 3: been almost was signed but they tried to put out
Speaker 3: Monica for the second time with Don't Take It Personal,
Speaker 3: because I guess the first time it didn't didn't It
Speaker 3: didn't click, and so they were like, Yo, do you
Speaker 3: want to promote this new artist we have now? Mind you,
Speaker 3: They were hiring me because of what I did on
Speaker 3: the party scene professional wise, and I was like do
Speaker 3: I you know what I mean? And he was like
Speaker 3: all right, cool. So one night I'm in the one
Speaker 3: twelve parking line. I'm promoting Don't Take It Personal, and
Speaker 3: I ran into the guy that actually curated and was
Speaker 3: responsible for the Black Expo and you remember the Black Expert.
Speaker 3: I was like Coachella in the South, and so, you know,
Speaker 3: got Monica on that thing on that you know, on
Speaker 3: that little tour spot dates or whatever, and they asked
Speaker 3: me to come in and run you know.
Speaker 4: Street team promotions.
Speaker 3: I was like, hell, yeah, you know, And so I
Speaker 3: think that that kind of piqued my interests, not necessarily that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was in love with Monica's song and
Speaker 3: she was fourteen. She looked at me like a big brother.
Speaker 3: I loved the energy I brought and how I made
Speaker 3: people feel, but I didn't know what I wanted to
Speaker 3: do in it, you know. And at the same time,
Speaker 3: Clark Kent, who used to book all the time to
Speaker 3: DJ he had introduced me to Dame Dash and Kareem
Speaker 3: and Jay and and How'm I forget his name, Vegas
Speaker 3: Jones Emry Jones, and so they're talking about they got
Speaker 3: this label they're doing. Jay Z had a song called
Speaker 3: twenty two Two's and they wanted me to help them,
Speaker 3: you know, promoting the South. So I would go back
Speaker 3: and forth to New York Maria Davis mad Wednesdays. I
Speaker 3: was like in their mix too. So I'm doing the
Speaker 3: rowdy Records thing with Monica, consulting with Jay and M.
Speaker 3: And I loved what Jay and M was doing because
Speaker 3: that's like my life, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, this is kind of Then he came,
Speaker 3: you know, with reasonable doubt. I had no idea that
Speaker 3: when I'm going to D and D here and you
Speaker 3: know these you feel me and so like it became like, damn,
Speaker 3: I'm really curious. I really think I can can help
Speaker 3: these people, you.
Speaker 4: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So I ended up helping Ray Ray figure out some
Speaker 3: other markets for the street teams.
Speaker 4: I held down Atlanta, and it started to grow.
Speaker 3: Man, and everything kind of led to me starting to
Speaker 3: feel myself in the space and how I can contribute more.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't gonna happen at Roddy Records. So one
Speaker 3: meeting at Rowdy Records, they were talking about Dallas, this, that,
Speaker 3: and the third and I felt like Monica's popping.
Speaker 4: She wasn't before me, you know.
Speaker 3: Not realizing there was Arister Records along with Rowdy Records
Speaker 3: pushing this. I'm thinking, I'm doing you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So I'm in a meeting
Speaker 3: one day and it wasn't on the way I wanted
Speaker 3: it to go. And you know, being young, I think
Speaker 3: it was twenty one years old, was like, man, fuck
Speaker 3: Dallas Austin. Yeah, and I'm thinking, I'm just in the
Speaker 3: room family, I'm gonna tell my brother, fuck you if
Speaker 3: I don't agree with you.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, I'm not thinking it's gonna call.
Speaker 1: The shot way right.
Speaker 3: So he wasn't at the meeting, and then I guess
Speaker 3: whoever it was in the meeting when told him what
Speaker 3: I said. And you know, at this point, I think
Speaker 3: Claude had passed and he was always my champion.
Speaker 4: Claude Austin and Dave Gates, and they knew.
Speaker 3: How passionate I was, how hard I worked and what
Speaker 3: I wanted to do, because you know, once you find
Speaker 3: out you good at something and you can't you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 2: Make money doing it on it and it's.
Speaker 3: Legal, like you want to hold on it. It becomes
Speaker 3: your passion. And I wasn't doing nothing but being passionate.
Speaker 3: And I think if he even would tell you the story,
Speaker 3: he would look at it too, like maybe his ego
Speaker 3: was involved.
Speaker 4: But Dave ain't like that, bru.
Speaker 3: Like as soon as they got back to us that
Speaker 3: Dallas Herd, Dave was tipping over, you know, desking fire
Speaker 3: me mother for fuck you, like it was a whole thing.
Speaker 3: But that also for me, and I want to shout
Speaker 3: Dave Gas out because we didn't have father figures in
Speaker 3: the business. When I came into the business, or even
Speaker 3: as I grew in the business. It was people that
Speaker 3: wanted to take our flavor, our ideas, our creative abilities
Speaker 3: and use that not necessarily to reward us for you
Speaker 3: feel me, not to build you up, but to take
Speaker 3: for that game. Yeah, but for Dave to do that.
Speaker 3: It allowed me not to be taint it from being fired.
Speaker 3: It allowed me to know that shit he believed in me.
Speaker 3: He now saying fire. You know, fuck dude, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? And you got to stand on something
Speaker 3: and if you don't, they gonna keep you under their thumb.
Speaker 3: And for me, that exit was the beginning to my
Speaker 3: ascension and what I ultimately became.
Speaker 2: So do you start studio forty three after that? After
Speaker 2: you still you're still doing your twenty six twenty things
Speaker 2: in the streets with the clubs and your promotion. But
Speaker 2: now that you're you're not that routed anymore. You didn't,
Speaker 2: you know, fuck that up. You lost your mind. You know,
Speaker 2: you had a moment, got your ass fired. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: where do you go from from there?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Again, great question, because I was on probation.
Speaker 2: Were you you're still in probation.
Speaker 1: I'm still on the whole time. Whole time.
Speaker 3: I had ten years probation, Okay, yeah, yeah, ten years.
Speaker 3: They want to lock you up, they want you to
Speaker 3: fuck up ten years probate, ten years, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I literally, I literally my mom had moved to
Speaker 3: Atlanta at this time, and she's in three A. We're
Speaker 3: in like two B.
Speaker 2: She moves in building.
Speaker 3: But my mom is like my sister. I mean you've
Speaker 3: heard that. I'm sure like my mom was like we
Speaker 3: grew up together. It wasn't you know. She's literally exactly
Speaker 3: twenty years older than me, and we learned a lot together.
Speaker 4: But anyway, she lives in like three A. We live
Speaker 4: in two B.
Speaker 3: And the police came looking for me about my probation.
Speaker 3: This is around all the time I got fired. You know,
Speaker 3: the Rockefellers are you know, as sending, I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to really move to New York and be there, so
Speaker 3: I'm trying to really figure it out. Well, Clark is
Speaker 3: going to Motown Records, right, and he's like, yo, I
Speaker 3: want to, you know, fuck with you, and it's gonna
Speaker 3: figure out how to bring you into Motown Records. But
Speaker 3: I'm like, I got to get out of Atlanta and
Speaker 3: get backwards. You know, extradition they can hold you up
Speaker 3: to six months.
Speaker 4: Before they take you, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So like I got to get home, So I go

Speaker 3: was ladies, gentlemen, I just want to tell you my
Speaker 3: age through this story. I was faxing my probation sit right.

Speaker 1: The dream is real. That sounds exciting. It was amazing.
Speaker 3: That was ninety six seven, Yeah, right after.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we went from you know, two million records.
Speaker 3: I think when two million don't take a person, when
Speaker 3: two men got fired, then yeah, like the rocket full thing,
Speaker 3: I ain't want to move. Then I went to DC
Speaker 3: because of the probation. That was all ninety six, and
Speaker 3: then I met Jessica right after the motown right in
Speaker 3: the middle of the motown thing. So yeah, ninety seven
Speaker 3: was that fall ninety seven I met her? So, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was ninety seven, but a year ninety seven, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah.
Speaker 2: The nineties, the nineties yeah, oh yeah, nineties period because
Speaker 2: there was.
Speaker 3: No blueprint, there was no algorithm, there was no Googles.
Speaker 4: You couldn't google for answers. You have to really have
Speaker 4: the answers.
Speaker 3: And if you did have the answers, people would amplify
Speaker 3: that you knew the answers. That was the beauty of
Speaker 3: the era. It wasn't just like you could get by
Speaker 3: because you googled and you posted and it looked good. No,
Speaker 3: you had to be him.
Speaker 1: You have to really be him.
Speaker 3: And you're talking about when gangsters were starting to come
Speaker 3: into the music business.
Speaker 4: There were already gangsters. That's about real gangsters. I mean,
Speaker 4: you I mean you look at the stories of Jean
Speaker 4: Griffin and you.
Speaker 2: I think more so than more so than that they
Speaker 2: were starting to come into business. I think that they
Speaker 2: were out front. Yeah, they had never been out absolutely right,
Speaker 2: because we can go back to the beginning of this
Speaker 2: ship that it's been gangsters, right, but they but with
Speaker 2: gangsters used to they used to you know, the curtains.
Speaker 2: Now they were standing in front of it like no, no gangster.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and we're gonna need all of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I think Gene Griffin did that first.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think that's the nineties is when that
Speaker 2: really became a thing where it was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: and the executive or an executive producer, like people even
Speaker 2: know what the executive producer was honestly into the nineties, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because you were going to see the artists or try
Speaker 3: to see who you saw with the artists.
Speaker 4: You didn't go to the credits, right, the A and
Speaker 4: R is such and such executive producer, does you know?
Speaker 4: You didn't even know the functions.
Speaker 3: And that's one thing I'm so proud of my experience
Speaker 3: and time in Motown because I learned the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something that I want to ask you about
Speaker 2: that too, because, like you said, you learned the game
Speaker 2: and it's something I want to I want to spotlight
Speaker 2: and highlight Andre Herrell. Yeah, man, he does not get
Speaker 2: the credit he deserves in my opinion, in R and.
Speaker 4: B facts, he brought Champagne to the game.
Speaker 2: He absolutely brought Champagne to the game. But just the
Speaker 2: fact of like he was a savant when it came
Speaker 2: to R and B music, Like I had the pleasure,
Speaker 2: through my relationship with Larry Jackson to meet him later
Speaker 2: on and really have some conversations with him and be like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, h the way he breaks down R and
Speaker 2: B music and the way that R and B should
Speaker 2: be done and the ideas that he has damn near
Speaker 2: second and nothing second, Like it was special. And the
Speaker 2: way that, just like you said, the way his personality
Speaker 2: articulated came through, oh man, be hilarious.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, And the craziest thing about it.
Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna say Andrew was the most fashioned
Speaker 3: forward motherfucker, but he was probably the flyes mentally I'd
Speaker 3: ever met. And because of him, I learned Boskyoch. Because
Speaker 3: of him, I collect art, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like when I met him. He had an apartment on
Speaker 3: the West side of New York, and we all know
Speaker 3: how expensive and what that was not for black people.
Speaker 3: Then he had a whole top of the apartment building
Speaker 3: was his crib. He had a driver with the Rolls Royce.
Speaker 3: The taste level was something that I adopted and possessed.
Speaker 3: I would not be the lifestyle specialist. I would not
Speaker 3: be as important to all these brands and these people
Speaker 3: if not for Andre and as it adheres to music
Speaker 3: without Uptown Records, sonically, I don't think Church in the
Speaker 3: sounds that came from Church would have been magnified in
Speaker 3: the way that they did. Jodosy arguably right. You know,
Speaker 3: I was just listening to something that boys and men
Speaker 3: were saying. They like, we came with bow ties and
Speaker 3: cardigans on. These motherfuckers had on leather with bats, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, talking about they gonna get your girl,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But I think that there.
Speaker 3: Was a exercising of freedom that came with Uptown in
Speaker 3: a celebratory way. I think we've had many amazing songs
Speaker 3: that celebrated life and culture, but Uptown was special, man,
Speaker 3: And when people think about it, they don't think about Andre.
Speaker 3: They think about the artists. But Andre, to your point
Speaker 3: of his expressive nature and his passion for black people
Speaker 3: in culture, right, he would explain why there's no Puff Daddy.
Speaker 3: With all Andre, the confidence wouldn't be there for Puff
Speaker 3: had he not got.
Speaker 4: It from Dre.
Speaker 3: The problem I had with all that is that no
Speaker 3: one towards the end helped him with his confidence. You
Speaker 3: can imagine having all the success Andre had, all the
Speaker 3: amazing triumphs. I mean strictly Business was a movie and
Speaker 3: a time where we weren't doing movies. New York Undercover
Speaker 3: was a television show that was wildly popular for them
Speaker 3: there a decade you know what I'm saying, when we
Speaker 3: weren't doing that, And this was all Andre's vision and
Speaker 3: what he wanted to do.
Speaker 4: And for me, the end of the day.
Speaker 3: For him to die not knowing he was a superhero,
Speaker 3: or to not feel the love and respect for an
Speaker 3: industry he gave his life to, you know it really
Speaker 3: it broke my heart because I was with him the
Speaker 3: last three years.
Speaker 4: Of his life.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't feel like he was celebrated enough.
Speaker 3: No, No, and I wouldn't. I would have never done
Speaker 3: business with Puff because I never really liked him, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But I never would have done
Speaker 3: business with him had it not I've been for Dre
Speaker 3: me signing the girl group Dream, the highest debut of
Speaker 3: girl groups, only behind the Spice Girls. Ever, I'm talking
Speaker 3: about Destiny's child and all the one you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And what I heard was the free like
Speaker 3: him getting his master's back. That group helped him get
Speaker 3: his masks. Of course LA had something to do with that,
Speaker 3: but like, I wouldn't have went to Revolt and launch
Speaker 3: Revolt Television if it hadn't been for Dre, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So I look at like how he
Speaker 3: ended his time here on Earth. It's heartbreaking when you
Speaker 3: think you give your all to something and you're not appreciated,
Speaker 3: fuck rewarded. I'm talking about the people you put in
Speaker 3: the game with the people that was there for you most.
Speaker 4: But I loved him man like a father.
Speaker 3: And I don't think there'll be another because you know,
Speaker 3: this generation, the leaders are falling short with pouring into
Speaker 3: humans and teaching them about life and how to handle
Speaker 3: fame and how to handle success.
Speaker 4: And I don't think we do it anymore. I think
Speaker 4: it's a money grab.
Speaker 3: The artist is gone, and he was one of the
Speaker 3: greatest artists of our time. I agree with you, artists,
Speaker 3: cultural here's your brush, have at it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's just it's crazy. Man.
Speaker 3: I don't want to call out individuals, but I just
Speaker 3: I'm so sadden that he doesn't even I mean, there's
Speaker 3: those statues this man like he's that caliber.
Speaker 2: That absolutely How long were you at Motown?
Speaker 3: I was at Motown as long as it lasted with
Speaker 3: his reign. I think I left six months before they
Speaker 3: ousted him. He actually suggested I leave. That's how dope
Speaker 3: he was. He was like, don't burn up with the ship.
Speaker 3: He's like, people are at you right now, take some
Speaker 3: take some meat.
Speaker 2: Did you do so for real?
Speaker 4: No? So for real was uptown? That was still that
Speaker 4: was Uptown? Yeah okay, yeah.
Speaker 3: But I had, you know, the pleasure to work with
Speaker 3: seven o two Terreal Hicks.
Speaker 4: Yeah real, so dope, yea.

Speaker 2: they did with the Bronx Tail and they left Terrell
Speaker 2: Hicks out.

Speaker 4: loud and clear. I received that.

Speaker 3: me loving it being the soundtrack to my lifestyle. It's
Speaker 3: just a business that has never really fulfilled me, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. You know, even with the success
Speaker 3: I've had in it and the thoughts of you know,
Speaker 3: Uber's success, it's just, you know, it's just certain things
Speaker 3: that I can align with, you know, I put my
Speaker 3: hands on somebody. So leaving the music business probably the
Speaker 3: best thing for me, because it's just, you know, they
Speaker 3: don't play fair. There's no appreciation. That's why I honor
Speaker 3: your relationship. They're getting rid of whoever along the way,
Speaker 3: you know, like just different things. It's just not my thing.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I was working with somebody and this person you know,
Speaker 3: might be an icon or not, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But I'm on this island and you know, we're in
Speaker 3: the midst of creating you know, and I thought I
Speaker 3: was catching some energy, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 3: you know, at this time I'm not in a position
Speaker 3: to do anything about said energy. But you know, because
Speaker 3: this is such a you know, enormous figure, I'm like,
Speaker 3: damn at, please let me just see what you're talking
Speaker 3: about if it actually is what I think it is.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: And so you know, we go through a couple of
Speaker 3: rounds of dinner and yachts, and you know, this is
Speaker 3: the life, you know what I mean, This is what
Speaker 3: I signed up for, you know.
Speaker 4: And you know, one.
Speaker 3: Night in the club, you know, the beautiful Island Capri,
Speaker 3: after about a week and a half of you know,
Speaker 3: just being around each other, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm dancing in the club and who comes dancing.
Speaker 4: Up on me? Yes, I'm like, this is this is
Speaker 4: not what I'm.
Speaker 3: Expecting, but kind of expecting a little bit, right, but
Speaker 3: not in public, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, okay, cool, yeah, all right, cool? Were dancing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, oh okay, cool? All are you so
Speaker 3: might be a little more than dancing? Huh okay, all right?
Speaker 4: Cool?
Speaker 3: So about to leave the club, you know, and there
Speaker 3: were two routes to go, you know, to my room
Speaker 3: or to the yacht. You know, next thing, I know,
Speaker 3: somebody's grabbing my hand and I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 4: You know, and.
Speaker 3: It's fucked up. I couldn't really do anything about it,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I couldn't really you know,
Speaker 3: I went to my room. I didn't go to the yacht,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But I did the responsible thing,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because that's what I should
Speaker 3: have did. And I can't say anything else because it's uh,
Speaker 3: what is it names?
Speaker 4: But it would have been legendary.
Speaker 3: And the and the gangster thing is is that all
Speaker 3: the fields that I thought that were coming my way,
Speaker 3: all the energy that was coming my way. I ended
Speaker 3: up leaving because of you know, I you know, I
Speaker 3: couldn't do anything, and I didn't want to be there
Speaker 3: with the pressure, and so I ended up sending someone
Speaker 3: else from the company to kind of be in pocket.
Speaker 3: And I jokingly called back and was like, you know,
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks later after he had been there,
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, with life scanning that, you know
