You already 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.280 know you know what I'm saying, but I ain't gonna lie. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.560 It's like, now I'm thirty four, Now you know what 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.840 I'm saying. So like boom, It's like it's a lot 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.000 that to happen. And then at the same time it's 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.160 like I'm still learning, but like like I took like 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.640 a little break off from like dropping music like just 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.959 so consistently. It was really like a minute, you know 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.840 what I'm saying like probably like my last album was 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.920 like seven years ago. Okay, yeah, so took a little 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.320 break off for that, and then I was just like learning, 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.920 like being able to articulate myself, man, because I have 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.880 like a whole company. I have producers, I have a 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.040 production company, I have a record label, you know what 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.280 I'm saying. And then it's like I lost my heart drives. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.799 And then when I lost my heart Drives, that made 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.679 me feel like that made me take a step away 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.440 from music. You know what I'm saying. I started buying 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.200 like real estate, start trying other like different different like 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.480 business ventures and stuff like that, you know what I'm saying, 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.880 and just not all the way just zero straight in 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.799 on music. It's not like I took a step away 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.519 from music and when it got burnt out, you know 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.760 what I'm saying, Like I want to sharpened up. 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:06.080 Just recharge your batteries and diversified your portfolio. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:07.160 You know what I'm saying. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.720 Congratulations is in order ahead of the current season, you 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.240 parted with ESPN for Music Custom Strategies to be their 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.960 first ever lead producer in current music. What's the first 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.040 thing you did after getting that call? I mean partner 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.480 with the NBA. I mean, you worked with a lot 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.160 of greats, but you're partnering with the league. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.200 That mean to you, man, it was dope. Bro. It's 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.480 just dope to be able to like combine music and sports, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.679 you know what I'm saying. I just feel like, man, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.360 that's everybody either watching the game, listening to somebody's new album, 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.480 new song, or like you know what I'm saying, Like 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.400 that's just it. That's just a culture. So it's like 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.960 it's dope to make that collaboration. And I always been, 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.600 always been a fan of the NBA. I was letting 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.440 them hear a bunch of different music that I was 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.200 working on, and then like that Sway Lee and Lotto 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.280 record really stood out to them. So they were like, man, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.480 you think they could do another edit for like the 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.640 commercial art and we want you to like give us 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.600 like a sound really, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.440 we usually go to like record labels and collaborate with 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.280 like record labels and tap in with their different artists 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:10.960 like that, but like we never really locked in with 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.080 a producer. So it was dope to like for them 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:15.840 for them to see that, And it was like I 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.120 came with a couple of different ideas, like I gave 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.920 him like our beat, you know what I'm saying, Like, y'all, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.479 I feel like he's have dope energy. We write down 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.599 a couple of names of artists that we hear on 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.640 like these beats. So after this way and a lot 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.760 of record boom, we came with the money bag yo 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.880 and watch TV fat Like, I just liked what they 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.719 got going on. So they had knocked out one of 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.679 the beats, and then we got a couple more songs 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.600 on the way and stuff, so it was dope. It's 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:41.320 a dope collaborator. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:42.919 At the end of the season, you guys will pretty 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.160 much have a whole album then if I'm not mistaken 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.919 round so you have that. So you're doing all the 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.120 national games, the big games all season, that will be 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:51.720 something you produced. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.800 It's not like a lockdamn project. It's something that we 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.919 talked about though for show, like man put all the 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:57.919 songs together. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.839 Just so we talking it into existence. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.080 Then yeah, it really really just manifested it, you know 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.720 what I'm saying, Because like they had they had liked 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.960 the idea because I was like, man, I just made 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.200 music that people can bow to you know what I'm saying. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.840 So it's like boom. I was like, man, I can 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:13.960 mess around to be an album. 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.680 Man, So what exactly does like the job detail? Like 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.840 do you dictate? Do you have to check in with them? 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.240 You give them ideas, they give you feedback, Like how 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:23.600 exactly does the partnership work? 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.480 It's really just like a collaboration. Man, I don't really 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.560 like the one that I don't want to go in there. 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.680 And just like man, I'm like put my mind around 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320 like making an artist because ESPN is not an artist, 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.120 you know what I'm saying. So it's like really like 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:37.920 they let me know the body that they're looking for 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.440 and then boom, like and now it never came about 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.400 because with the tournament, it was just like okay, man, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.800 it's like a tournament within the league, within the regular season. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.320 So it was like man, boom, Like they're like, man, 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.240 we need some high energy something like you know what 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.640 I'm saying, Like just imagine like a little side side 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.360 like tournament going on within the season and like this 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.799 is something mess up people fighting for like how Lebrown 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.359 went off last night, Like it's like, man, what the 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.280 hell out? You know what I'm saying, and it's like 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.960 he taking his eies. Like it's like the playoffs, Like 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.159 you know what I'm saying, so boom with now or Never. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.719 It was like they needed some high energy. So that's 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.040 how I mean, that's how we really chose that beat. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.960 Gave it the bag, bag nail, the nail, the concept. Yeah. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.920 Yeah, So how do you get in your zone? Obviously 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.560 as athletes, we have our rituals and routines we do 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.360 to get focused for a game. When you feel like 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.480 you're at your best making beats, producing Like what does 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.480 that consist of? Smoke? 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.159 Yeah? I smoked. You know what I'm saying. I smoked 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.320 some gas. I'm really like at my studio in Atlanta, 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.520 you know what I'm saying. I got a studio in Atlanta, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.400 like like West Midtown area. And then it's like it's 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.039 not really like your typical studios, just like open and 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.560 then it's like a bunch of different creatives coming through, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.960 like you know what I'm saying, but it's like my team. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.360 So it's like I can go to them and it's 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.520 like a challenging thing because like they might be making 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.600 beats and I'm like, bro, you hearing this? You know 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.400 what I'm saying, Like what room with this living? Like 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.480 how you feel like this is going to stand up? 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.159 Cause you know what I'm saying right now, you just 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.120 starting off like and I can like challenge them in 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.600 these rooms and I can start seeing like their sounds 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.960 like form into something, form into something different, and like 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.440 them start putting their DNA on there. So it's like 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.280 I like producing like that, and then I like for 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.720 show cooking up, like I go to the studio, made 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.240 about three three to five beats to day easy, Like 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.280 that's just like the regimen, like I try to make 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.360 five different bangers. But then it's like working with the 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.920 different team and coming with the different sounds and then 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.080 bringing in songwriters and then putting those different songs together, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.320 and then different artists coming through my studio and then 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.840 it's like I can challenge them and try to get 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.040 them a different sound and they doing They're coming in 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.080 there already looking like Yo, this studio is different, right, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.320 Like man, I got to do something different in here, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:53.160 like you know what I'm saying. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.920 And then so you're raising their game, You're challenging them competitive. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.560 That's the importance of like any producer, like when we're 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.560 coming up. I know when I was coming up, and 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.880 I'm just saying, like for real, you know what I'm saying, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.960 like Kanye or you know what I'm saying, any of 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.880 our any of our favorite producers, many fresh you know 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.400 what I'm saying, juicyj DJ, probably like they pushing it, 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.720 but they leaving their DNA, you know what I'm saying. 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.920 So you know we already know, like all those producers 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.080 are just name, you already know they sound or it's 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.840 a song that pops in your head with that.

So then they coming through leaving 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.200 that same DNA like dope right up. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.440 When you make a beat, is it with someone in 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.680 mind or once you create the beat, then you try 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:36.440 to put a name to it. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:37.320 Or don't even to both. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.640 I don't even think, Okay, you're just out there doing 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:40.040 what you do. 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.679 Yeah, I don't even think. Like I literally had the 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.480 beat machine right here, I'll be like, yo, say a 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.679 number between one hundred and two hundred, you know what 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.080 I'm saying, and then boom, you could just say anything 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.559 one thirty eight. Well, you know what I'm saying, one 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.760 forty nine, one seventy six. I make a beat right there, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.640 you know what I'm saying, that's the tempo. So so 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.040 whatever number you say, boom, got damn boom, put the 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.200 tempo right there, put the click track on there, and 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.720 just make something. I even think, just try to do 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.439 something out of pocket, as long as it's out of 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.679 pocket and it feel new and fresh. And they got 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.680 the room like this, and they got the people in 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.880 the room that don't rap acting like they wrap. You 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.080 know what I'm saying, That's when you got some shit, 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.240 yeah for real, because that's that's the vibe for real, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:21.839 you know what I'm saying. And then it's always good 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.240 to have like a musician around as somebody who's like 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.120 good on the keys or like I like to collab 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.240 like that, so had them plug up too, I might 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.880 just I might just do that boom. Somebody might be 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.480 playing the guitar, playing the piano or playing playing on 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.520 the keyboards or something like that, and it's just adding 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.360 to it and just adding the layers, because that's essentially 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.240 when you're making the song, that's all you doing, you 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.640 know what I'm saying, Just stacking rhythm and melody. 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.360 Your family has a deep musical background. Talk about your 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.920 upbringing and your musical background with your family. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.160 I definitely had like cousins I was looking up to 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.720 for show that was like you know what I'm saying, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.480 rapping and trying to start their record was in there. 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.360 My mom she she's sung with the Dotty People's Choir. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.400 But my mom never made like any money after the 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.400 music industry or anything like that. It was just like 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.280 it was almost like her going to church, Like you 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.280 know what I'm saying, She singing with dotted People's choir, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.080 and they moved around to different churches and different stuff 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.360 like that. In my pots, he always had like he 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.920 always he was like a DJ. So he always had 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.200 hell of rap records and stuff in in the crib. 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.360 So like all the earth wind the fires, all the classics. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.400 You know what I'm saying, Bobbie won't make like all 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.800 the classes. Yeah, he had all the vinyls. Somebody used 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.920 to see him like just put a vinyl on, play, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.080 play the record, and then when he leave, I want 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.200 to do the same thing, but I want to hear something, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.840 so I'll put it on there and think I know 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.360 what I'm doing. Break his needle, like damn, you know 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.079 what I'm saying, ruar it up. I got two older sisters. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.560 So my sister that's closest in age to me, like 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.640 she always listening to like R and B pop that 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.440 kind of stuff, like some rap stuff, but like she 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.960 was like more that leaning. Then my older sister would 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.840 be more rap, you know what I'm saying. Like, but 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.599 she'll be like she was like out cast, you know 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.839 what I'm saying. Like her husband put me on like 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.000 jay Z, Like you know what I'm saying, Because at 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.200 first I was really like just down South hip hop, 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.880 like all the way. But then her husband put me 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.320 on like Blueprint, and that's when I really started rocking 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.760 with jay Z. I fucked with him on that Juvenile album. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.080 But like when I heard that Blueprint, I was like, 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.120 oh no, he hard. Then I went back to reasonable 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.360 doubt and then I just started, you know what I'm saying, 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.400 tapping all the way in the right way. I was 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.240 always like a down South hip hop artist or like 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.360 a West Coast or like I like New York artists too, 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:38.199 like Nas and DMX, Jadykiss like off the rail, you 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.480 know what I'm saying. But yeah, so it was like that. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.560 So it was always like that mix, that mix up 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.160 in the crib. I remember my pops had took me 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.839 to my first hip hop concert with Bone Thust and 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.120 Harmony Bone Thus in Harmony whoopd somebody's ass in the 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.120 crowd and everything like the whole concert ended, we had 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.880 to leave and all that. But my pops was like 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.679 in the car, he was tripping because he was like, yo, 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.280 music's about the end. I'm like what you mean. It 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.640 was like yo, there was no instruments on stage, and 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.200 I was like so what man? That shit was hard, 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.240 Like you know what I'm saying, This is like ninety 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.440 four ninety five. But he used to go on the 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.280 Earth Wind the Fire concerts and all this, so this 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.120 is his first hip hop concert too. But that just 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.800 stuck with me, like because I always was like listening 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.320 to music, but when I started making music, that stuck 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.480 with me, you know what I'm saying, Like and that 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.760 that really like that stuck with me because I realized, like, Okay, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.959 things are like changing and evolution, like you know what 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.240 I'm saying, and like that's what I even had to 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.719 look back on, like over these last seven years, it's 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.640 like looking back and being like, Yo, we actually pioneered 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.360 some shit, like we actually like ye, like we weren't 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.240 a part of that movement, you know what I'm saying, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.880 but like I was like the early stages of that, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.240 but like being a student of that, seeing it and 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.280 not even understanding like there was anything else out there, 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.320 you know what I'm saying, and then being able to 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.280 come in and make our own imprint in that shit. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.760 Like what do you think when you have these lines? 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:07.760 Mike Will made it. Gucci Man slated start status, everybody upgraded. 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.439 I think about Patchwork. First day I met Gucci man, 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.800 Gucci at what Not? Another first that I met Gucci 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.960 first time. This is the first day me and Gucci 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:21.400 ever recorded. He was working on the mixtape called No Paying, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.719 No Pencil, And I remember he had called me from 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.440 Walker's phone because me and Walker used to hang with 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.120 each other all the time, so like he called me 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.120 from walker phone early in the morning. He was like, man, 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.079 wake up, Like I'm like, who this is? He was like, man, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.760 they gooch be at Patchwork at two o'clock, pull up 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.480 with with some hard beats. But at this time I 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.000 had already knew Goots for a couple of years. I 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.080 already knew Walker for a couple of years, but he 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.240 never had got on my beats or anything like that. 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.280 Like you know what I'm saying. It was like feel 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.000 like getting that call? 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.360 Is it goosebu? 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:51.200 Damn? 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:51.760 I got what? 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:52.960 Man? 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:53.480 Man? 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.120 You want to know?

Boom, give me a 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.719 beat CD, I'll passed him out. So one day I'm 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.679 getting pressed up.

They finally said it's going on the album. 0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:44.000 So then boom whole It's crazy because Whole rock with 0:45:44.080 --> 0:45:47.920 his engineer like the long way, like Guru, you know 0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:50.399 what I'm saying, Guru a goat. But at this time 0:45:50.440 --> 0:45:53.960 I'm trying to like really stamp that sound. Like so 0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:57.960 I don't want anybody to like mix any any records 0:45:57.960 --> 0:45:59.600 of mine because you know what I'm saying, I had 0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:02.440 this injury there that I worked with Jason Joshua, and 0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:04.680 you know what I'm saying, Like with him, it was 0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:07.960 like we already went through a thousand songs already and 0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.879 we didn't already he like we got this sound, now, 0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:14.399 we got our product supply chain going.

Big John like, look, Mike, this ain't 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:22.600 the time to be difficult. Man, like this whole man 0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.560 like just send the files, like, don't don't try to 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:28.319 be difficult. I was like, broh, listen, I'm not trying 0:46:28.320 --> 0:46:30.080 to be difficult, you know what I'm saying at all, 0:46:30.200 --> 0:46:33.040 Like if hole fuck with guru like Google mixed the 0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:35.640 vocals that my man mixed the beat. I just need 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:38.200 to beat the sound how it's supposed to sound like, 0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:40.520 you know what I'm saying. So he like, man, I'll 0:46:40.600 --> 0:46:43.960 high light him. I see what's up. So boom. Finally 0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.120 they say like okay, cool, go ahead and do it. Boom. 0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:50.040 We mixed the beat, you know what I'm saying. They 0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:52.239 send the vocals over that's mixed, We put it with it, 0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:55.960 they send it back. They're like, yo, man, this shit 0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:58.640 is crazy. You know what I'm saying. So next thing, 0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:01.160 you know, they ended up reaching out to my man, Jason. 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.160 Jason ended up mixing a couple more songs on the album. 0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:05.960 That shit ended up playing out. You know what I'm 0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:08.400 saying right up, which is better. 0:47:08.719 --> 0:47:11.320 Do a lot of do. A lot of rappers send 0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:14.040 you their vocals without the beat and you bill beats around. 0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:16.440 They do that a lot. It's different every time, you 0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:18.520 know what I'm saying. But I like doing that. 0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:22.040 Though that's that's a hard process or it's easier for you. 0:47:22.360 --> 0:47:24.120 I love that it's easier for me, you know what 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:26.960 I'm saying, because we could just I got the tempo, 0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:29.000 I got the temple that rap too, you know what 0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:30.840 I'm saying. We got you know what I'm saying, we 0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:33.160 got the click track. We could just make a beat, 0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:34.839 like you know what I'm saying. I feel like every 0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:38.000 song is always different because sometimes like like with a 0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:40.560 super producer, right to me, like a super producer is 0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:43.360 like somebody who could be like hands on or hands 0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:45.719 off with the record, you know what I'm saying, and 0:47:45.880 --> 0:47:48.640 go through the whole process. Like you can make the beat, 0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:51.480 you can write the lyrics, you can engineer, you know 0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:53.480 what I'm saying. You can mix the song, or you 0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.839 can be hands off and get the right engineer to 0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:59.000 mix it, or get the right person to make the beat, 0:47:59.080 --> 0:48:00.800 or get the right person to do the melodies, and 0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:03.040 get the right person to do the drums. Or get 0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.640 and be able to communicate with the engineer and see 0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:07.759 it all the way through. You can't even communicate with 0:48:07.800 --> 0:48:11.000 the engineer if you don't understand what revert delay. You 0:48:11.040 --> 0:48:12.520 know what I'm saying. All that kind of stuff is, 0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:15.000 you know what I'm saying, like verify or you know 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:17.080 what I'm saying, the tempo or speeding it up a 0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:19.400 couple of bpms. All that kind of language is like 0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:21.960 you can't even communicate or even know what you're looking 0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:24.239 for right there if you don't even if you're not 0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:26.680 if you're not that you know what I'm saying. But 0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:29.160 like I feel like with a super producer is automatic, 0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:31.640 you know what I'm saying. You can communicate with anybody 0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:35.200 from like I said, the musician in the room to 0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:37.480 the drummer, to the person that's on the beat machine, 0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:41.560 to the songwriters to the artists and knowing like put 0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:44.200 this artist with this artist because this is rare, and 0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:45.680 like you know what I'm saying, this is going like 0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:48.480 Midas Cyrus whiskyly from Juicy Jay is like they don't 0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:50.680 see Midy Syris rapping, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:53.200 they don't even know who to go to get to 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:55.440 write a rap for Miley Cyrus's song or you know 0:48:55.480 --> 0:48:58.480 what I'm saying, who to get to get that beat 0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:00.680 and make it super futurist, you know what I'm saying. 0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:04.000 So it's like being hands on her, hands off of 0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:06.239 that shit, like cause like black Beaters, Like I made 0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:08.200 that beat quick, you know what I'm saying, Send it 0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:10.520 right this way, booms, you know what I'm saying. So 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:15.400 it's like it's different processes on producing every song, like 0:49:16.360 --> 0:49:18.840 and you got different ways, Like the new joint I 0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:21.680 just did with Sexy Red, perfect match. That was a 0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.279 song that she already had in her head, so she 0:49:24.440 --> 0:49:28.400 just went in. She she wrapped it a cappella and 0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:30.000 now I made a beat around it right there. You 0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:31.880 know what I'm saying. At the studio, just doing your 0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:34.920 process and just knowing, like I'm big on a product 0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.160 supply chain. Now that's what I picked up over these years. 0:49:37.280 --> 0:49:40.319 It's like just looking at everything like the product supply chain, 0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:47.120 raw material supplier, manufacturer, distributor, retail consumer. You know what 0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:51.239 I'm saying, and knowing that I need to live I 0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:53.040 like perfect it and I live over here in the 0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:58.279 left space, like in the raw material supplier manufacturer. So 0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:00.920 sometimes I'm the raw material where I might make the 0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:03.719 beat and then it might go to the studio and 0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.560 be the supplier and bring that beat, or sometime the 0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:09.759 artist might be the raw material and like Sexy Red, 0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.640 like have this song that she wraps a capella and 0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:14.640 then she supplies that and then I make the beat 0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:16.759 around it and then add different features on it. She 0:50:16.840 --> 0:50:19.279 added two more features on there, and you know what 0:50:19.320 --> 0:50:23.640 I'm saying. So, and then you have certain processes where 0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:25.800 it's like I got a whole production team, you know 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:27.880 what I'm saying, where it's like I pull up on 0:50:28.360 --> 0:50:30.680 P Nasty or I pull up on Mars. I'm like, bro, 0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:33.920 I hear this person on this beat, and then I'm 0:50:34.000 --> 0:50:36.880 the supplier. I'm taking this raw material. I'm the supplier 0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:39.439 and I'm bringing it to this and we're manufacturing something 0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:43.000 right here. And like like move that dope was like 0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:47.240 a sound like that. It was just like like different pieces, 0:50:47.280 --> 0:50:48.400 like you know what I'm saying, Like it was like 0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:50.680 Future laid the hook and then I had an old 0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:52.880 Future verse, you know what I'm saying, And it was 0:50:52.920 --> 0:50:55.000 like we were trying to wrap up, honest, so I 0:50:55.000 --> 0:50:57.680 had this Future hook on this one beat, and then 0:50:57.760 --> 0:51:00.120 p Nasty had a hook on the same beat that 0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:02.320 he was that he was writing for Shrimp. That's not 0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:05.680 popping bottles? Don't it make you feel good? Like him? 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:08.759 And Shrim wrote that. So like Boom I was like, man, 0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:10.960 this is sound hard under this one hook that Future 0:51:10.960 --> 0:51:13.279 did on the same beat. Pee, you know what I'm saying. 0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:16.640 So Boom took that made that the ad libs took 0:51:16.640 --> 0:51:20.200 this old Future verse, put it right here. Let Pharrell here. 0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:22.600 Pharrell like, oh shit, bro, I gotta get on this. 0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:25.839 I'm like, all right, bet Boom ad Forrell on here. 0:51:26.080 --> 0:51:28.080 I'm not even telling Future the whole time, Like you 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:30.480 know what I'm saying, Like add Forrel on this joint 0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:33.120 the next thing. I'm not next thing I know. I'm like, yo, bro, 0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:35.800 man see it. Push your ad verse on here. You 0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:38.720 know what I'm saying.

So Boom 0:51:47.480 --> 0:51:49.720 I took parts of pharrell first verse in the second 0:51:49.760 --> 0:51:52.480 verse and piece that shit together and send it and 0:51:52.760 --> 0:51:56.120 I sent it to Forrell and I'm thinking he heard it. 0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:58.120 I'm thinking like, cause he gave me the thumbs up, 0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:00.279 so I thought he heard it. Man, he ain't even 0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:02.960 hear it. So when the song came out, he was 0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:06.680 like like, what the hell? Like what is this? 0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:06.920 Bro? 0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:09.400 Like, this is not what I sent you? Like, I'm like, Bro, 0:52:09.440 --> 0:52:11.160 I sent it to you.
