I feel like life changed for you. Yeah. Yeah, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.520 and you got this Drake feature, which I know you've 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.040 talked about a million fucking times at this point, but 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.760 you and I haven't seen each other since then. Like, 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.440 how much has that feature? Because that record was number 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.960 one at radio? I mean yeah, it's one of those 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.960 songs that like, as a radio guy, like I'm Mike 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.160 tired of, which is a good thing because it's played out, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.520 you know what I mean, it can't played too much. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:08.200 How that record change your life? Bro? Uh? Just I mean, uh, 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.840 that's a lot of ways. I mean, you know, I 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.239 was on lock on Lockdown. It came out like doing quarantine, 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:20.000 so I didn't really get the experience like every everything 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.560 for real. But I think he's just kind of maybe 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:28.560 more richer. You know what I'm saying, probably beat by it. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.840 It's probably like, you know, that helps biggest thing. You've 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.080 been still doing shows though we were doing shows like 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:38.600 I saw you was in my I saw you was 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.680 in Tempee. You killed the Phoenix. That ship looked crazy. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.240 I don't think, well, I think I'm just thoughting about 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.280 to not do as many shows as I what I 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.880 was doing. But are you? Are you gonna be doing 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.919 like the solo headlining tour or yeah, That's what I'm 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.160 doing in August. So that's gonna be like the heart 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.560 of you. Is that gonna be like your first like 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.480 real hard ticket tours. I know you do our dates, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.079 you know, run around, get the bag and all that shit, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.200 but like this is like gonna be the first real tour. Yeah, 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.040 my first one. Yeah. Yeah, that's exciting man, that's gotta 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:15.160 be fun. Yeah. How's the entrepreneurial ventures going? I think 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.120 the last time we talked, we were talking about how 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.640 you ran out your tour bus. Yeah. I really ain't been. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.040 Ain't gonna lie, I really ain't been too much. Oh my, uh, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.799 like my other adventures besides music, you know what I'm 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.360 saying right now, But it's just because I got so 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.000 much with the music coming on, like with the album 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.639 and just running around every well like trying to, you know, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.400 just do everything for this album, so I ain't really 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.440 just get to So have you been neglecting the restaurant, 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.760 the food truck ship? Yeah, like I really I sold 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.480 my food truck like at the COVID. I ain't really 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.200 open my restaurant back up for really, I just ain't 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.320 had time to just even miss with it for real 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.800 like that. But you know, one of the things like 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.840 I can always do, like I really right, right, right right, yeah, 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.560 you know what I'm saying, really no theme for Yeah, 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.520 I think that that's like, you know, you're one of 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.800 the few artists that I met that that's coming up. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.000 That's like I didn't really understands, like, you know, how 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.680 to put your money in different places and and and 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.640 to kind of be a little bit more responsible than 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.600 most when it comes to, you know, not burning through 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.960 your bread like that. Let me let me ask you 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.680 this because I know, you know, you had experienced the 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.279 Columbia shit and then fucking with Empire and then the 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.080 Drake record happens, and then that goes over the Warner 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.159 a little bit and I'm sure you know, at any 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.400 given time, you could have signed with anybody. What made 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.880 you want to stay independent? Stayed down with Ghazi and 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.520 the team and Empire. I just had more freedom, Like 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.960 I had just way more freedom. Like you know, I 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.279 felt like I was, you know, just running my own show, 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.320 you feel me, And I was just doing what I 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.320 knew work did. They was just fun and whatever I 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.800 wanted to do, you know what I'm saying. So I 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.360 was like, I really ain't had no reasons to sign 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.560 to a major because like they was, you know, I 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.320 had I had like being oars with like other labels 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.120 and stuff like that, like major labels. You know what 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.520 I'm saying.

I was like, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:17.880 you know what I'm saying, Can you tell us who 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.440 was like number two you were considering? Oh? I think 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.880 it was it was It was it was hardball between 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:31.520 like Republican or Republican. Y republic I mean, I mean 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:38.320 Republican is like the Superstar label. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.200 Was there ever any discussions about you going over to 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.040 ovo at all or yeah we had. It was just 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.320 it was discussions. It was it was discussions. It was 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.440 like a theme for for a minute, something you were 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.320 seriously considering. Yeah, yeah, yeah I was. I was considered it. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.280 I feel like it, it could have happened, you know 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.880 what I'm saying. It was just like, uh, you know, 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.160 but I just used When I used to talk to 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.200 Drake about it, he was like he he ain't even 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.840 really used the pressure, but he was like, man, I 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.760 love you know what I'm saying, love to have you 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.880 over here.

But 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.200 I was able to, uh just do what was right 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.039 for my career for real, like that children Drake like 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.919 make an official offer. No, No, they never did. I 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.120 never really After he said that, I never really like 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.440 pressed on it for really you know what I'm saying. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.919 I never really pressed on it, So it was like 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:56.200 just a conversation of like quick conversation. Uh. His team 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.640 was just like, you know what I'm saying.

Do you feel like you 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.680 get enough credit when it comes to kind of like 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.320 kicking off a lot of the ship is hot right now? 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.120 Like I feel like you've been doing this, this this 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.480 singing and love shit for before a lot of people. Yeah, 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.560 because people look at you as a new artist, but 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.800 you're you're really not a new artist. You've been putting 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.520 in work for like the last seven or eight years, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.560 you know what I'm saying. Do you feel like you 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.360 get the flowers you deserve when it comes to kind 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.679 of doing a lot of this ship before everybody else. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.720 Uh No, I don't feel like I get the you 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:03.000 know what I'm saying, the the the flowers like through 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.520 like the media and stuff like that. I feel like 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.880 it shows when you go out into the real world. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:08.880 You know what I'm saying, when you go out in 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.560 the real world, Like Internet don't matter, you know what 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.800 I'm saying when it come to packing out a club, 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.480 like none of this stuff matters, TikTok, don't matter that 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:22.960 none of this stuff matters. It's about catalog and have 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.360 you been through these trenches before, you know what I'm saying. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.160 So it kind of shows when I go out in 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.199 person towards then you know what I'm saying on the 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.520 internet for real? What about from your peers, because like 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.719 I feel like obviously Meek tapped in early, Drake is 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.120 tapped in. Like I think I think a lot of 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.199 people within the industry at least who have been tapped 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.559 in kind of know if you know, you know, I mean, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.199 even people like who just love music, who's just done 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.040 their research on me. I feel like that's why I've 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:53.040 been able to do like collab with more people that 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.360 people probably just feel like it's too early in my 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.959 career to collab with I feel like that's kind of 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.160 know why because they see why, you know what I'm saying, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.120 how far it came and just how far my roots 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.040 go into music. You know what I'm saying. It make 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.080 you want to work with me. So I feel like 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.880 some of the people like that may work at like uh, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.640 you know what I'm saying. The companies and stuff like 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.120 that don't really know. But the people who tapped in 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.840 the music industry, they really they really know. And I 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.000 feel like you're also tapping in with young artists like 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.000 I know, I saw you tapping with the Honey from 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:34.000 Tampa Taliban Duda. What is it like? First of all, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.120 we talked about this last time, Like you come from 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.480 the school of boozy, so you are if you're in 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.720 the city. I don't know anymore. But at the point 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.040 in time, if you at your bag right, you could 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.959 pull up on blue and get your get you get 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.480 your get your issue. You know what I'm saying. But 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.800 when it comes to like you know, like when we 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.480 see you on other people's records, like like is it 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.040 something that you have to want to do at this point, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.560 or are you still like, hey, look if the price 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.360 is right, I'm on that thing. Uh yeah, it's really 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.080 somebody had to to do for like right now, you 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.480 know what I'm saying. And then but it's still I 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.640 still get the bag doing it. But it's like, you know, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.120 I'd have been offered to be on a lot of 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.160 records that I just passed on, you know what I'm saying, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:18.280 just because it probably just makes sense for me, you know, 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.040 not anything against the artists and nothing like that. It 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.440 just it adn't really make sense what I have going on. 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.600 And then I'm really backed up on stuff right now, 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.480 Like I'm so backed up on features and it's stuff 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.000 that I just don't want to over. Like I'm talking 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.920 about features from big artists, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.440 When you just had the Future come out with was 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.760 it with her?
