Speaker 1: Yo, what's up. It's your boy Blast. You could check
Speaker 1: me out on a Bulet Cab podcast, Boutlet Cab Show
Speaker 1: Special guests in here. Just drop the nice little four
Speaker 1: piece on the due Bulet cav Blast is back, baby, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: what's up? Just for clarity out right now? Oh taping
Speaker 1: shout already, shout out lerke Jie and Mustard. I feel
Speaker 1: like Martin, you and Roddy Rich together is like it's
Speaker 1: like the fucking mighty Morphin Power Rangers of like La Hooks.
Speaker 1: That's good compliment. I like that. I like that. I
Speaker 1: feel like people was waiting on this, but I feel
Speaker 1: like it was per perfect time and too. Everybody was
Speaker 1: like when are y'all going to little song together? That
Speaker 1: was like the one guy. I feel like everybody was like, Man,
Speaker 1: a Roddy and Blast record would be fucking nuts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: perfect time, man, how does that work? Does that work? Where?
Speaker 1: Like you send him the record because I know you
Speaker 1: like to work on your own, usually at the house, right. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I did a record with Roddy a minute ago that
Speaker 1: I just produce actually, but yeah, I just sent him
Speaker 1: a beatpack for this. I sent it to Keifa. Actually,
Speaker 1: they were sitting on it for a minute, and then
Speaker 1: Roddy was like, I got something perfect for us, sent
Speaker 1: that through. That was the one passionate. So how long
Speaker 1: ago did you have to beat with Roddy? Because you,
Speaker 1: for people don't know. I mean we talk about this
Speaker 1: a lot, but you're like a og out here for sure.
Speaker 1: Obviously you've taken off the last year or four years,
Speaker 1: but before that you were producing a lot, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: So I mean that's pretty much how I got my
Speaker 1: name amongst the city locally, just producing like the song
Speaker 1: Forcano for real, for real, right with it? Yeah, most
Speaker 1: of Beano's early catalog. But the Roddy situation, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of tripping on the initial question. I was gonna say.
Speaker 1: You said that you had originally produced a beat for
Speaker 1: Roddy back in the day. Oh yeah, yeah, just being
Speaker 1: around organically. How long ago was that though? That was
Speaker 1: probably four years ago at this point, because I knew
Speaker 1: Roddy a minute and the first time my medal was
Speaker 1: in Compton, you know Womanton Arms projects. Just randomly it
Speaker 1: was like yo, you do music, and I know his people,
Speaker 1: you know, we just connected like that. So just to
Speaker 1: see his grind and see everything come full circle like
Speaker 1: he's seen me before. I was anybody too, And I
Speaker 1: feel like this was a dope moment to you know,
Speaker 1: link up. But uh, they've been sitting on that beaf
Speaker 1: for like three four years. Oh damn. So the beat
Speaker 1: that you just dropped he got three years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh shit, damn. And then you could tell too, because
Speaker 1: the sonics of the sound is like my six tape
Speaker 1: one type vibes, like the early things I did with Beano.
Speaker 1: It's the same type of sonics. And now, okay, so
Speaker 1: the original beat that you produced for him, did that
Speaker 1: ever come out? No? I never came out. Never even
Speaker 1: dropped a whole different vibe too. That was a whole
Speaker 1: different vibe, but it never came Yeah. Well look, man,
Speaker 1: I do feel like you kind of have You do
Speaker 1: make timeless music. So a three or four year old
Speaker 1: song still sounds good. Absolutely not the song. The song
Speaker 1: was recorded more recently, but the beat was made three
Speaker 1: or four years ago. You go, there, are you still
Speaker 1: recording at home a lot? Absolutely? I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm used to recording that. Huh. That's like my
Speaker 1: safe space. You know how to engineer yourself if it
Speaker 1: ain't broke while I fix it. So like, will you like,
Speaker 1: if you're out of town and you go to the studio,
Speaker 1: are you like sitting at the board recording yourself or
Speaker 1: do you use the other engineer for the studio? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I still, you know, oping myself to work with other
Speaker 1: engineers and things like that. I got a couple that
Speaker 1: I work with. Shout out to the lance, shout out
Speaker 1: Chris at Paramount. But for the most part, yea, I'm
Speaker 1: outside the booth. I'm sitting like this with him. You know,
Speaker 1: I need that genuine often of connection when I'm recording,
Speaker 1: and it feels like I'm at home when I record
Speaker 1: like that, versus standing in the booth and feeling disconnected
Speaker 1: with the you know, I know you had said before
Speaker 1: that you were recording a lot of these early records
Speaker 1: on just that road like kit that you would get
Speaker 1: a guitar center if you're at Paramount, what Mike you
Speaker 1: picking see I'm not even that tapped into the names
Speaker 1: and stuff. But I like the Norman U eighty seven. Mike,
Speaker 1: that's what I just got hipped on to shout out tick.
Speaker 1: He just bought me that mic. It's a great MIC's
Speaker 1: like a three thousand mic. Yeah, I love it. There's
Speaker 1: that one, and then I think the other one everyone
Speaker 1: likes is that the eight hundred to Sony, that big
Speaker 1: black one. Yeah, with the big booty on the back,
Speaker 1: yep for sure. How often, like, okay, you, I feel
Speaker 1: like you've had a pretty insane run. When we think
Speaker 1: about just some of the legends you've been able to
Speaker 1: record with, You've been on records with nas Rick Ross,
Speaker 1: we can go on and on and on. How often
Speaker 1: are you able to kind of like step out of
Speaker 1: the moment and kind of appreciate the journey that you've
Speaker 1: been on in just the last three or four years.
Speaker 1: It's been crazy to see. Yeah, I don't think I
Speaker 1: ever well this far as far as I've been recording,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I ever got to that moment
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'm still living a dream. Bro
Speaker 1: Like I can't even nas is like my uncle's favorite rapper,
Speaker 1: you feel me, Kendrick is like my favorite rappers. It
Speaker 1: was like, all this shit is unreal. I'm still trying
Speaker 1: to unpack it off, still trying to create a name
Speaker 1: for myself, still setting my foundation, my infrastructure. So it's
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just look at it as reinsurance.
Speaker 1: You know that I'm that I'm on the right path
Speaker 1: over everything. I love it. Man, How for you, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like you're still hop like popping in on
Speaker 1: people's projects. But I feel like the last like six months,
Speaker 1: so you've been a little quiet. I'm like getting on
Speaker 1: other people sit. Is it because you're in an album mode? Yes,
Speaker 1: definitely in album mode. Okay, we're cooking up. I've been
Speaker 1: on tour, Hella, you're on tour. Yeah, you feel me.
Speaker 1: So I went to Australia for the first time. What
Speaker 1: we did around out there Melbourne is crazy. I heard
Speaker 1: that that's the best city I've ever been to so far.
Speaker 1: I heard all the women look like Iggy. I actually
Speaker 1: hear that, and I actually listen. I have friends who
Speaker 1: have gone there who are African American, and they say,
Speaker 1: if you look like us, you're getting all the pussy.
Speaker 1: I can't vouch for it a lot, but they did
Speaker 1: treat us like real here, and they just embraced the
Speaker 1: LA culture too. I feel like they knew about artists
Speaker 1: like Kayling. Yeah for real, for real. It was a
Speaker 1: group of girls liked there. To me, like we're kaling Man.
Speaker 1: That's how they said it. Accent. I can't do the accent,
Speaker 1: but I'm not feeling look crazy trying to do it either,
Speaker 1: is it? I heard if you say Melbourne, they get mad.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be like Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne. Yeah, make
Speaker 1: sure I stay it the right way. Jesus put some
Speaker 1: respect on them. So you were just in Australia living
Speaker 1: your best life. Yeah, we did Australia Run. We did
Speaker 1: like five four or five cities out there. How was
Speaker 1: the food in Australia? Said the same. Is it kind
Speaker 1: of like just America? But like not, I really don't recall.
Speaker 1: It was in and out. You feel me in terms
Speaker 1: of the vibe of Australia, is it like an American
Speaker 1: vibe or is it like do you feel like you're
Speaker 1: in like a whole other place. You definitely feel like
Speaker 1: you're in a whole different place, just even driving by
Speaker 1: certain sites of buildings, the infrastructures of buildings, everything just
Speaker 1: like different. So Melbourne is your favorite city been to? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So far? Just the people outside of everything, just the
Speaker 1: way they embraced us, the way they actually genuinely was fans.
Speaker 1: We did like an after party after It was cracking,
Speaker 1: Like everybody that came to the show was at the
Speaker 1: after party too. It was lit. Any tour stuff coming
Speaker 1: up this year, it's gonna be a light year. I
Speaker 1: felt like I definitely am dedicating this year to be
Speaker 1: more creative. You feel me. It gave my debut album. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do select dates, different festivals and college shows,
Speaker 1: things like that. So I'm still outside. But we're not
Speaker 1: even considering you having any albums out yet. Yeah, call
Speaker 1: it what you want. But I felt like I haven't
Speaker 1: put out an album yet, Like I haven't sat down
Speaker 1: and genuinely been like album mode. Everything I've been making
Speaker 1: been on the move. So like now you put out
Speaker 1: the four pack just to kind of appease everybody yet, like, yo,
Speaker 1: I got these four where you did it before obviously, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is kind of the appetizer to the debut albums,
Speaker 1: the advertizer, and you can tell too, I'm staying true
Speaker 1: to my sound, but for the for the album, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be more experimental. Definitely still standing true to my
Speaker 1: sound for the album too, but it's an elevator version
Speaker 1: of that. So I'm excited for the fans. So I
Speaker 1: feel like they can predict what I'm doing. But I'm
Speaker 1: feel hit on with a left jab real quick. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, how are you experimenting? Because I do
Speaker 1: feel like you have your signature sound. Yeah, you have
Speaker 1: your I feel like you have your pocket. If we
Speaker 1: think of like what a blast bpm is, like we
Speaker 1: kind of know what your pocket is. How are you
Speaker 1: expanding the sound? How are you experimenting? Man? For me,
Speaker 1: it's just opening my mind to different creators as well.
Speaker 1: A lot of the times I be in the house
Speaker 1: by myself, Like it's only so much inspiration you can
Speaker 1: pull from a bedroom and isolation, right, So I'm opening
Speaker 1: my mind with different writers, different producers, different creatives, even
Speaker 1: just people with good conversation. I'm just you know, putting
Speaker 1: myself more out there. I'll be to myself a lot,
Speaker 1: so you know, it's a challenge for me, but I'm
Speaker 1: willing to go over that hump. Would you say you're
Speaker 1: an introvert, I'm like an introvert extrovert, Like if you
Speaker 1: know me, you know I'm goofy. You know I'm extra
Speaker 1: talking and playful. But you know, the people I'm not
Speaker 1: really comfortable with. It may take some time for me
Speaker 1: to get open with you. You You and Righty Richard very similar. Definitely, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we just we just shot the video to passion it

Speaker 1: We got producers and artists like Grandmaster, Vic j Pilot,
Speaker 1: so we pushing them out in different endeavors as well.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be working on my project too. But and
Speaker 1: then we got the you know, the investment side of things.
Speaker 1: We were heavy on that side too. Are you guys
Speaker 1: investing in We got the Creative Wreck in Philly? Okay,
Speaker 1: what's that Philly Reck? Philly? It's a creator for gems.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a jail for creators. My bad. So
Speaker 1: when you say it's a gym for creative yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like where people who are creative go to like lift weights.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a workshop for creatives. So you
Speaker 1: may go in. You may want to know. You could
Speaker 1: come here, you can lift weights. No one's gonna judge
Speaker 1: you if you got paid on your hands and ship. Nah,
Speaker 1: it's like a gym for creator. So when I say that,
Speaker 1: it's like a workshop where you may link with somebody
Speaker 1: who know how to print up some merch. You may
Speaker 1: link with somebody who's a producer, or you know, somebody
Speaker 1: who's on the brander side of things. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 1: like a hub for that. But they also just partner
Speaker 1: with a with Diddy for Miami Wreck as well, So
Speaker 1: we're part of that, or you're just part of the
Speaker 1: Philly location. We're part of the whole thing. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so check you out in business with Diddy? Kind of yes,
Speaker 1: you can say literally, you can say that. Have you
Speaker 1: ever talked to Diddy? No? Not personally? Why not? I
Speaker 1: mean never, It's just it hasn't been a hard encounter yet.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we're gonna run into each other something.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be putting out an R and B album. Man,
Speaker 1: he's going crazy. He going crazy with jos Zy too,
Speaker 1: Shout out Joe Love Records. They're going stupid. You gotta
Speaker 1: be on the Diddy R and B album I work
Speaker 1: with Jazz shout out jos Zy. Have you uh, because
Speaker 1: I do feel like you're kind of like when we
Speaker 1: think of like West Coast the last five years or so,
Speaker 1: it's really like you and Roddy Rich in terms of
Speaker 1: commercial success. Do you feel like, really, I really, I
Speaker 1: mean commercials we leave out Tyler the creator. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: Fuck everyone does that, including me, apparently just I would
Speaker 1: say this, it's literally Tyler, yeah, and then Tyler. We
Speaker 1: gotta put Tyler number one of these. I just got
Speaker 1: to his own festival, the Drama's listening party, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Bro, every time we speak about the West,
Speaker 1: I don't know why people leave your name. I don't
Speaker 1: even like mentally see him as even like I didn't
Speaker 1: mention Kendrick right now, I guess I'm thinking like I
Speaker 1: don't though, Yeah, I understand what I'm talking about, like
Speaker 1: the new generation. Like I feel like you and Roddy
Speaker 1: have obviously each kind of hit your stride in the
Speaker 1: last five years. But do you feel do you feel
Speaker 1: like the pressure of like kind of like because when
Speaker 1: we think of LA, I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: who aren't from LA feel like LA has a certain
Speaker 1: sound that isn't necessarily palatable nationwide a lot. But then
Speaker 1: you got guys like yourself and Roddy who come through
Speaker 1: and are making these like anthems that everybody all over
Speaker 1: the world are being able to like consume. And like,
Speaker 1: do you feel like any pressure in terms of just
Speaker 1: representing the West on that scale or do you not
Speaker 1: even think about it? You're just making music. I don't
Speaker 1: even think. I don't even think that deep into it.
Speaker 1: I just do me for the most part. But I
Speaker 1: get it though, you know, But I also feel like
Speaker 1: it starts with the producers as well, Like we have
Speaker 1: a certain sonic that we are, you know, like not
Speaker 1: letting go at all. So we just got to get
Speaker 1: more experimental, and the producers got to be more mindful
Speaker 1: of that as well, and also collaborating with the artists.
Speaker 1: Got to collaborate producers outside of LA Yeah that part.
Speaker 1: Get on them YouTube beats man that use a lotsarati
Speaker 1: success you. I mean, they couldn't box some men from
Speaker 1: the jump, so you can't predict what you're finna do.

Speaker 1: artificial intelligence yet? The AI? Have you seen this? I've
Speaker 1: seen that you're talking about, like where you kid like
Speaker 1: he just did a whole verse. He wrapped it as
Speaker 1: himself like he was Kanye, and then he ran it
Speaker 1: through artificial intelligence and it's it sounds like a fucking
Speaker 1: Kanye song. So people can literally be out here with
Speaker 1: bootleg blast versus I swear cap. It'll be probably it's
Speaker 1: probably easier raps, but like singing, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta let you find out a singer AI singer.
Speaker 1: If someone like hypothetical situation, somebody puts up a fake
Speaker 1: blast record. Yeah, and it goes crazy, right, they write it,
Speaker 1: they sing it, then they put their own verses on it.
Speaker 1: It goes crazy, though, are you making them take it down?
Speaker 1: I mean, if I could be a part of it,
Speaker 1: let's get this back. Okay, like yo, get that bag.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hate on it, but I gotta be
Speaker 1: a part of it for sure. Do you ever look
Speaker 1: up blast type beats on YouTube? Yeah? Dude? Ever anything fire? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you may come across something. I always wanted that. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, heo, if I'm a rapper, I'm just like
Speaker 1: type beating myself on YouTube or pause all the time.
Speaker 1: You got a sick one. No, I'm just saying. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't talk about beating myself on the internet. Nah, Nah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's like I feel like
Speaker 1: you gotta go to the originator for that, for the
Speaker 1: blast type beats, you know, with shout out all the producers,
Speaker 1: that's you know, taking as sauce and running with it.
Speaker 1: Would you say in twenty twenty three, because I do
Speaker 1: feel like being a producer, it's a very heavily saturated
Speaker 1: game and unfortunately, as a producer, I feel like you're
Speaker 1: kind of underappreciated in the same way that photographers and
Speaker 1: videographers are underappreciated in it producers the same way. Like
Speaker 1: what would be some advice you would give producers in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, whether it's having their business right or
Speaker 1: you know, I think some people chase placements as opposed to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's other routes to monetize your talent. You
Speaker 1: know what I love and shout out to hip Boy
Speaker 1: because I feel like he's pinpointing this. But like producers
Speaker 1: that work with that artist and just build a whole sound,
Speaker 1: a whole sonic, like what he did with Benny the Butcher.
Speaker 1: What are you doing with nas? Things like that? I
Speaker 1: feel like we need to get back to that, like
Speaker 1: Timolin and miss Yelli, Like we don't really get those
Speaker 1: full bodies of work like that. So that's what I'm like.
Speaker 1: If you're up becoming producer in like Indiana or something like,
Speaker 1: find a dope artist that's in your city and like
Speaker 1: try to build a sound. I think that's doper than
Speaker 1: just getting that one hit record with that popular artist already.
Speaker 1: It's like it's better when you build something from the
Speaker 1: from the mud. Well you checked Riddy off the list
Speaker 1: of artists that people want to see you work with.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody else you really want to work with it?
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, it just hasn't aligned yet. Uh, nobody specifically.
Speaker 1: I mean I always say for real, but that's like
Speaker 1: more so I want him to executive produce a project
Speaker 1: later down the line if I'm able to, if he's
Speaker 1: able to. But nobody specifically right now, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: focus on myself. Yeah, nobody on the R and B side, Nah,
Speaker 1: pretty much work with a lot of people. I gotta
Speaker 1: get back to the blast story for sure. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I've been going for I've been I've been feeling
Speaker 1: like t Pain last year feature crazy Future Crazy. Nowadays,
Speaker 1: let's say major label calls it's a new artist they signed.
Speaker 1: You have no idea who it is, but they're on
Speaker 1: Atlantic and they want that blast sauce. That fucking what's
Speaker 1: that hitting for? You know? I never charged for a
Speaker 1: feature ever ever. No, really, So you're doing it only
Speaker 1: if you truly want to truly like the song. You
Speaker 1: have to like the song, you have to like the artist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about up front. It's a back end cause
Speaker 1: but if I like the song. I'm not gonna give
Speaker 1: you that hash So you feel me? The back end
Speaker 1: is just like the bag or is it the It
Speaker 1: may be the video, it may be the wardrobe for
Speaker 1: the video, things of that nature. You feel me. You
Speaker 1: still got to show up as Blast. I'm still a brand,
Speaker 1: I'm still a company. But on the front end, I'm
Speaker 1: not fee to be like I need fifteen just to
Speaker 1: record the first I need you know. Yo. It sucks
Speaker 1: too because a lot of artists will pay that to
Speaker 1: these features and then the song doesn't get clear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's cold games. They got the money. Hey, get your money?
Speaker 1: How you get it? Couldn't be met a What about
Speaker 1: you and T Pain? That'll be crazy? I love T Paying.
Speaker 1: Have you seen his any of his covers? He just
Speaker 1: did a whole album. Yeah, I've been watching that. He
Speaker 1: didn't get the Ozzy Osbourne war Pigs, Yeah he did.
Speaker 1: He did at Sam Cook, Sam Cook, he did Chris
Speaker 1: Stables in the country guy, Oh come man. Yeah, T
Speaker 1: Paying a legend. You guys have never connected never can.
Speaker 1: I think we were supposed to. I think I know
Speaker 1: his manager actually, but he never got on the table officially.
Speaker 1: You gotta make that happen. Man. Yeah, because you're kind
Speaker 1: of like the hook guy now, you know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: need some songs. I need to ask him a thousand questions.
Speaker 1: When I did the video of Rick Ross, I asked
Speaker 1: him a thousand questions. What questions did you ask a cross?
Speaker 1: I was like, what did you do with your first million?
Speaker 1: What are you saying? It was like the first thing
Speaker 1: I did, I saved it. But he was telling me
Speaker 1: it was like because I told him I lived in
Speaker 1: la He was like, that's the worst place to buy
Speaker 1: real estate. Get something in Atlanta. Atlanta's for sales. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of land. So also the state taxes here suck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tell me about it. Are you realizing that now that
Speaker 1: you're rich? I wouldn't say that, but you've got that
Speaker 1: guy Vic over there. He will give you some terrible
Speaker 1: tax advice. According to Fuck with Viral, you could write
Speaker 1: your drawer. You know how many CPAs were that he
Speaker 1: cleared it up on the last interview. You know what
Speaker 1: you gotta do. You gotta set up the address in Nevada,
Speaker 1: buy a house out there, just let it sit or
Speaker 1: just have some people rent it. But all the bills
Speaker 1: are in your name. Hey, I take all the advice
Speaker 1: and then you past no state tax because Nevada's that's
Speaker 1: what you do. No, but a rapper who you have
Speaker 1: a lot of songs with does that? Yeah, he's from
Speaker 1: La and like a lot of songs more than two. No,
Speaker 1: I think you only have one or two with them, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think yes, whatever, Yeah, not a lot of songs.
Speaker 1: Speaking of a lot of songs. Have you talked to
Speaker 1: Mazzi if you wrote him since he's been in jailer,
Speaker 1: I haven't. Haven't talked to Mazzi free Mazi man. I
Speaker 1: talked to Davo though, and uh, you say, you know
Speaker 1: he good spirits. So when he gets out, I think
Speaker 1: you guys should do another like dude, just for clarity
Speaker 1: three just all Mazzi features. That'd be crazy. Nah. I
Speaker 1: definitely want to check that off my list sooner or later,
Speaker 1: like a Mazi some type of project, whether it be
Speaker 1: four songs, ten songs, something, because I feel like the
Speaker 1: chemistry we got we ain't missed yet. I feel like
Speaker 1: to Mazzi was like an early believer in you in
Speaker 1: terms of like just like collaborating, and you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like Mazi has a huge following and I feel
Speaker 1: like he put you on some shit that you know
Speaker 1: at that time. I remember a lot of people found
Speaker 1: you through MAZZI definitely shout out Dava for really making
Speaker 1: a play, but I always stay between Mazi and Eric Bellinger.
Speaker 1: That was the first two artists that gave me that platform.
Speaker 1: What did Eric do for you? He gave me a
Speaker 1: feature early. This was before Beno. Eric's great. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: gave me a hook early on. He give you a
Speaker 1: hook early, just through to you. Well we swapped, you know,
Speaker 1: I gave him a hook as well. Has he put
Speaker 1: yours out? Yeah? Okay, I didn't know if he was
Speaker 1: like holding on to you because I've been hearing random
Speaker 1: hooks or years they are like four years old. When
Speaker 1: rappers play me songs, they'd be like, yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a record with Blast. I'm like, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did this shit in like twenty seventeen, right right right?
Speaker 1: Why haven't you released it? Did you ever like have
Speaker 1: to take shit down online because it's old or unauthorized?
Speaker 1: I did that early on. I did that early on.
Speaker 1: I had a lot of you know, unpolished music up
Speaker 1: and I felt like as a brand, it wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean like an artist who maybe has
Speaker 1: had a hook for like oh no, no, no no, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know that they've never had to drop on somebody.
Speaker 1: I feel like we are tight knit company. We don't
Speaker 1: really leak too much. We have a small circle anyway
Speaker 1: as far as the creative team, So none of that
Speaker 1: ever happened to me. They did try to leak the
Speaker 1: The Passionate record though, me and Roddy before it came out.
Speaker 1: It was like two days before it came out. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was also on the Insecure show, like maybe
Speaker 1: a month or two prior so, somebody had it. It's
Speaker 1: been through a lot of hands, yeah, it was, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we got it under control. Yeah. Once it's on
Speaker 1: a TV show. Who knows how many people have touched
Speaker 1: the song or had it in their email at that point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much. Damn. I remember I used to shout I
Speaker 1: got my name because I used to get the lead
Speaker 1: and made a whole brand off of it, stealing met
Speaker 1: seventeen studios and everything. He doing a bit you're the
Speaker 1: rich one. No no, no, no no, no, you're the rich one.
Speaker 1: Ever since you got that that platinum plaque behind you,
Speaker 1: E've ben running up the bag yeah, what's the next
Speaker 1: song that's about to that? I can get a plaque
Speaker 1: for what's the next song? You gotta have some more certifications.
Speaker 1: Have the the die hard mm hm plaque. That'll be legendary.
Speaker 1: They have they done plaques for that. Not that yet,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's a legendary situation right there. I'm excited
Speaker 1: for that one. Is it already platinum? We can look
