Speaker 5: Whether it's like yo, try singing this or you know,

76
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 5: try not writing this, or you know what I mean

00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: or try taking it in this tone, like certain things

Speaker 2: there's like a.

92
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,720

206
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: is that, like artists, we like to explore so our

207
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: creativity in different ways. And it'd be like the most

208
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: odd ways, like one dude play a whole bunch of instruments,

209
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: the one dude one girl she liked to paint and

210
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: do anime. Like, what's something that you do in your

211
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: free time that we wouldn't think that you would do?

Speaker 2: I love movies. You can see probably not, but I

216
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400

224
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 6: I started off drawing, illustrating. I used to draw autist

225
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 6: get like I never knew that exception from them before.

226
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,080

227
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,280

Speaker 4: you'll be sneaking high and this ship.

229
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 6: I let that go and let that go, and I

230
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 6: started rapping all but yeah, that's what I used to

231
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 6: do to get like a reaction from this. I was

232
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 6: rapping at the same time, and I was like, yo,

233
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: if I could just use this as a door a doorway,

234
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 6: But then it never worked out.

235
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 7: Like they just like the art and that.

236
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: You gotta start doing your own artwork.

237
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 7: For sure, for sure.

238
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: Executive producer mode.

239
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: That's how I'm saying, what what do you want? To

240
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: tap into next, like where you see yourself or anything

241
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: you feel like doing next, Like you said, where there's movies, writing, produce,

242
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: executive producing.

243
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: I have a few ideas, but I'm just so into

244
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: the music right now, and you know, just time is

245
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 5: just you know, there's a lot of time constraints.

246
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: I still feel like I'm growing as an artist.

247
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: I'm learning a lot, so I still really just want

248
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: to focus on my artistry, but.

249
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,200

273
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 5: It's a war for attention more than it is a

274
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 5: war with you know, any certain person. I think it's

275
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 5: good for hip hop when you know we can draw

276
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: all this attention, we can.

277
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: For sure trending topics just to hear new music. Yeah,

278
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: it's good.

279
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: It's good for the genre, it's good for the culture,

280
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 5: it's good for the business.

281
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

282
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely. What about you, like as an African artist coming over,

00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: where do you see yourself going on? What's some things

285
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: that you really want to check off on your list

286
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: in the industry?

287
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 6: I think I say the most probably like the the

288
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 6: culture here is like so rich compared to always back home.

289
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 6: It's student, you know, because I do like hit pop

290
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 6: and R and B, so like the hip hop and

291
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: R and B here is just such a cornerstone of

292
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 6: everything else, all the pop, all the other things that

293
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 6: like spalling out of the hip hop, But hip hop

294
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 6: is like the main thing, you know what I mean,

295
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 6: And it's so rich and so many people doing it

296
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 6: so many people have done it to the highest level

297
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 6: that like, you know, it's only right to get you know,

324
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 4: bringing someone into that world because like I granted, like

325
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: you're used to it, it's something like that, but to

326
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: show somebody else.

327
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,560

Speaker 3: I know, you're just not bringing everybody around it.

331
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: So it's like, of course, but you know that's our

332

334
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 5: Like people brought me into it and gave me access

335
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 5: and introduced me to a bunch of people that helped

336
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 5: further you know, my career, So it's only right that

337
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 5: you try to do the same for you know, other people.

338
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,320

Speaker 1: You there the like.

344
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 6: With the stage, I meet these people, I'm seeing everything

345
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 6: that goes on behind it. I watched that whole thing

346
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 6: like twice, you know.

347
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: We did. We did both days.

348
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 6: I watched it both times, the whole thing through and through,

349
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 6: just you know, super inspiring first of.

350
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: All, but just definitely inspiration to be there.

351
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely a moment that's that I'm like, Yo, this

352
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 6: is I'm at the right place.

353
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: You know.

354
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: What's something that you feel like you've learned just from

355
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: like maneuvering through the industry, that's.

356
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: Far just being around your dog.

357
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 6: I think the main thing I had to learn is

358
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 6: probably that, like I'm not the same artist that I

359
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 6: am out in an essay for now, I guess, you know,

360
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 6: because it's a different crowd.

361
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,040
