I really don't, because it's always more 180 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: love than any other energy. And we don't realize that 181 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: because this world is crazy, you know, actually in the 182 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: music world, this world has just we've been through a lot, 183 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: and that's why, you know, when we made the record 184 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: Staying Alive, I felt like that name of that song 185 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: and just you know, you know, how how how infectious 186 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: that hope is. Think about all the ship we've been dodging, 187 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: we're going down, were dodging Corona.

So this album is called God Did, 191 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: and I just felt like it's resonating with the people 192 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: that you and they connected with me and they know 193 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. What I'm saying, well, that title resonates 194 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: to an amazing title track that's its own. Bring out 195 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: another trip, listen another trail, one of them them theories. 196 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying. My thing is, you just played on some 197 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: of the album and again we'll get back to the 198 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: fact that you have already these anthems already done and 199 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: you're still cooking up to the last minute for last 200 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: minute man. But but focus on the title track because 201 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: me and beat I heard it and we are amazed. 202 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean, my thing is, like you accomplish in that 203 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: one track, then most artists can accomplish in the whole album. 204 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Like take us through that process of that song. Well, 205 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: that song. It's crazy because if you notice when I 206 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: dropped the album trailer, I don't know if you have 207 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: a chance to see the album trailer we had like 208 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: the God Did don Oliver right, No, no, that's not 209 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean in the trailer down trail, it was a 210 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: bunch of people in the trailer was Drake.

They don't believe in this guy did 215 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: Bump Bump. What happened was when I dropped the tailor 216 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: the trailer and announced the name of the album, took off. 217 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: It took off, resonated again like people resonated with the title. 218 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, and I always was 219 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna do it is make it into a song. You 220 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But I said I'm gonna make 221 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: that decision. After I announced my album title on the trailer, 222 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna do it not not not 223 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: the people that's on it back. I knew it's gonna 224 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: make a track out of it. So Boom that should 225 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: come out and people are loving them titled the energy 226 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: is good.

So 228 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: I went in the studio the same guy with my 229 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: team and made the dopest track. You know what I'm saying. 230 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about who's gonna go on it.

You know that Jada kiss is one 1001 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: of my favorites. So you know what I'm saying on 1002 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 1: my albums. If you notice every album I ever made, 1003 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: you notice that always got something from the era of 1004 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, our era you know I'm talking about, but 1005 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 1: as the foundation. But at the same time as these 1006 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: guys are times Jada Kisses times you can make a 1007 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 1: record to night tomorrow, don't matter what. He's one of 1008 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: the greats, and he gave me something special. Has there 1009 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 1: ever been a moment where you've received the vocals and 1010 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 1: you might be how to send them back like you 1011 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,320 Speaker 1: just weren't fans of the vocals um I have. But 1012 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 1: after I've been in the studio, if I see something 1013 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,760 Speaker 1: that's not going the right to I try to immediately 1014 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 1: stop it. If they accept my my critique and let 1015 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 1: me produce um and usually they do what I'm saying 1016 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,959 Speaker 1: and I'll explained Tom why you know what I'm saying 1017 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 1: and hopefully and usually you know, that's part of collaborating, 1018 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,760 Speaker 1: being in the room together. But then there's also times 1019 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 1: where I'm not might not be sure that I learned something. 1020 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 1: You know, KNA I got we know it all, especially 1021 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 1: with the new generation. You gotta respect the new generation. 1022 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 1: They come with a new sound. They might teach you 1023 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: something and they do. He's new generation. They've got different pockets. 1024 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,840 Speaker 1: You know, they go to the pocket that's like like 1025 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: I've done before, Like yeah, ship that you like? Is 1026 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 1: this real? Like you know the pockets they being like 1027 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 1: when a little baby did every chance I get you 1028 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,320 Speaker 1: know what I said when I said keep going, what 1029 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,479 Speaker 1: else I'm gonna say that he left a little piece 1030 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: of the beat breathe I was like natural, just like 1031 00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: keep going like this sh sounds so unbelievable. So you know, 1032 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: I think the most important thing when you make a 1033 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: record is the energy, and everybody know what we need 1034 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 1: to do is we gotta go here with it, not 1035 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 1: just coming here and say we made a record. And 1036 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: that I think when people know on a CAVT album, 1037 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,359 Speaker 1: that's what we do. We go here. You're saying absolutely 1038 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 1: why I feel like you're like one of the last 1039 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 1: prominitive DJs in the game, Like why hasn't there been 1040 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,399 Speaker 1: a guy to emerge?
