Speaker 1: Smokers Club. Shout out to the homie Johnny shipes like

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: that was kind of I know that that's kind of

58
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: like a new offshoot of like what cinematic does. What

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: is like what was the motivation behind like working with

60
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: Smokers Club for this project, besides the fact that both

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: of you guys are degenerate stoner's Well, I've been a

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: fan of Smokers Club for a long time. I always

63
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of their festivals. But I

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: had great tours and shit, yeh had a bunch of

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: things going on back in the day. And when I

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: found out that they wanted to start releasing music, I

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: thought it would be dope to just kind of mix

68
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: what we got going on with what they got going on,

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: because down on the East coast, right here on the

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: West coast, so we thought it could be a dope, man.

71
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: And then you guys creatively, I mean when you when

72
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: you broke away from Funk Volume, or when everyone broke

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: away from Funk Volume rather and you started still moving

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Demrick was, I want to say, the first artist you announced, right, yeah,

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: as a part of the crew. What is like your guys' relationship,

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: your guys' friendship. You guys have made so much music together.

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: I think a lot of fans just automatically associate you

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: guys together, like it's got to be super easy to

79
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: just like knock Out a project, right, It's just like

80
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: probably natural. Like I feel like we tore. We spent

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time like out on the road together,

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: and we just kind of picked up the habit of

83
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: just you know, getting off the tour bus on days

84
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: off and renting studios so we can smoke and chill

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: and make music. And I feel like once we got

86
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: into the studios and we started making music, we like,

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: first off, this shit is fire and it's really easy

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: to create facts that's fair. It's almost like I got

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the vibe of like Method Man, Red Men, Blackout, like

90
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: the new era of that with this, you know what

91
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like it just had that energy, you know

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, That's the vibe he was going for. Yeah,

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, so if Funk Volume was still going, I

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: was trying to get Demrick signed the Fun Volume, So

95
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: that's kind of like one of the last things that

96
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to do before the label dismantled. So

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, just going over into still Moving was it

98
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: was kind of already happened in that way, So the

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: vibe was already there. We was already vibing off of

100
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: each other, So being able to bring it back for

101
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: a second time. That's just purely being on the road,

102
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: being inspired, looking at how the fans were responding to

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: the first one. Man, it's been four years, maybe we

104
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: could give them another one, you know, And that's kind

105
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: of that's kind of the motivation I wanted to talk

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: to you guys about, like each one of you guys

107
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: have storied independent careers like Demrick. Obviously, I think the

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: first time I met you, you were b Real's hype man.

109
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: This was like an O nine in Boise, Idaho. I

110
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: think I think Busybone was supposed to be on the show,

111
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: but he was super late. Yeah, and he ended up

112
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: not showing up. Yeah, by the way, wild Busybone story

113
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: to share with you about that night because I ended

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: up having to pick up for the airport later and

115
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: we did like a little offshoot like show across the street.

116
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: It was. That guy's interesting to say the least. But

117
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: obviously you have a storied independent career. Dizzy, Like I

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: remember being in Vegas and when you were Dizzy, d flashy,

119
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: and you know you kind of had like the youth

120
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: like turned up in Vegas and you know, then you

121
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: transitioning from that to dizzy ride and doing smokeout conversations

122
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: and your funk volume run. How how are you guys

123
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: able to like sustain what's going on with the COVID shit,

124
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: not being able to go on the road, Like, what

125
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: are some of the ways you guys are are are

126
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: are are I guess innovating to kind of keep keep

127
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: bread coming in on the music shit? Because I feel

128
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: like a lot of people who don't, who are artists

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: who might not necessarily have be the smartest with their money,

130
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: probably are like having a rough time right now because

131
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: you know a lot of artists depend on that bag.

132
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying to hit you know the back.

133
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: If you've burned through the bag and and you was

134
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: you was planning on other tours coming right up, you

135
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: might be in a bad spot right now. Yeah, you

136
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But I think for me, it's

137
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: just about getting consistent. You know. It's as far as

138
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: like always going you know, doing a project and going

139
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: out on the road, doing two tours and then coming

140
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: back and getting something else together and just kind of

141
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: like keeping the process going. You know. I realized that

142
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: the battles really won in the studio, so it's about

143
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: locking into the studio and seeing what I could create

144
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: there now that I have more time on my hands,

145
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, to just take out take away the road shit,

146
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: double up, double down. Like, obviously you got your story

147
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: that's going, like you got a lot of other shit

148
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: going on. But like, I do feel like you've you've

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: done a really good job of like navigating the indie

150
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: game throughout your career and even like since the Funk

151
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: volume shit kind of went away, because I know that

152
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: was still independent per se, but like I feel like

153
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: you've done a great job of like building like monetizing

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: your brand independently since since that had kind of gone away,

155
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what are the things

156
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: that you would kind of give pointers to artists who

157
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: are watching this like it even fuck the COVID shit

158
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: put that to the side, just like being independent, Like,

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: what are the things you think that that you might

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: might might see other artists making mistakes with that you

161
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: might have learned from, even mistakes that you might have

162
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: made that you learned from. Yeah, one hundred percent. Actually,

163
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: me and Demmock had a conversation last night that kind

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: of like relates to this question a little bit, And

165
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: it's like having a balance of knowing when you're doing

166
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: something for your soul and knowing when you're doing something

167
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: for the bag. You know, and all the bags ain't

168
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: worth going to get. All the bags ain't gonna be

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: good for your soul, and some of the things that's

170
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: good for your soul ain't gonna give you a really

171
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: good bag. So you got to have that balance on

172
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: being able to figure out, you know, what keeps you going,

173
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: what keeps you driving, like what keeps the wheels turning?

174
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Really and for me, it's always, you know, of course,

175
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: creating music. I'm always playing the head, so I'm always

176
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that COVID shit kind of did

177
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: to me. It kind of prevented me from being able

178
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: to plan ahead, which I wasn't. I haven't been used

179
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: to that ever since I got in the game and

180
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: I've been navigating. I'm always thinking three steps ahead, you know,

181
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: so I'm never running into that time period and kind

182
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: of looking around and figuring out like what I need

183
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: to do, but more just like you know, having a

184
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: plan in play, so when I get there, you know,

185
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm doing. So for me, it's

186
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: just really about like creating the music side of things

187
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: and utilizing this time to work with different artists and

188
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: be inspired by different artists. And you know, we're all

189
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: on different levels, so it could be somebody bigger that

190
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: can inspire you, somebody smaller that can inspire you, but

191
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: you know, figuring out that hunger, finding that hunger and

192
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: running with it. I wanted to ask you, Dizzy, because

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: you had like a there was a stretch right where

194
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: you were on the Freshman cover and the funk volume

195
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: shit seemed to be doing very well because the Warner

196
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: situation had happened, and your album I think you were

197
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the only Were you the only person who ended up

198
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: putting the album outrough Warner officially or did one of

199
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Hobson's album come up? I think one came Yeah. And

200
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: by the way, Warner dropped the ball on your album

201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: because I remember I couldn't find it the best buy

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: they did. I was trying to go by like buy

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: our best buy, and I was like, bro, what the

204
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: fuck they did? Hitting b Yeah. The coldest part is

205
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: that they told me that it was going to be

206
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: a real rollout, like it was gonna be in I

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't even have told people they could get it at

208
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: best Buy if you know, they didn't gass me up.

209
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just trials and tribulations. I wanted

210
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: to ask you, man, because like I feel like there

211
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: was there's you know, you were I remember I think

212
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: the I want to say, the last time I might

213
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: have saw you live was with Logic in Orlando. Whatever

214
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: tour that was, Whatever Logic tour that was. Was that

215
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: for a second album? I think under pressures for his

216
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: first album. Yeah, but I'm curious, Like, no, U incredible

217
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: it was the truth story, yeah, in incredible truth. But

218
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious, man, because like you've obviously done records with

219
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: some of the biggest artists in the world, and like

220
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: with the Funk Volume thing imploding and then you having

221
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: to kind of figure this out for yourself moving forward.

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could have at that point in time

223
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: probably gotten a deal if you wanted one, and did

224
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: the major label thing, which would have been new to

225
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: you kind of right, but you decided to kind of

226
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: just hunker down and stick to the independent shit. Like

227
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: why why that as opposed to you know, trying to

228
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: go get a deal with Atlantic or whoever the fuck? Yeah,

229
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: because I like, I don't have that. Sometimes I feel

230
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: like I don't have the same desires as some of

231
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: these other artists, Like I don't really want it all

232
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: too fast. Getting it all too fast kind of makes

233
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: me nervous. I grew up with the bare minimum, so

234
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I know how to maneuver off of

235
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: what feels to me like a lot right now. Even

236
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: in the independent game, I feel like the love of

237
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: the traveling to being able to create the music, it's

238
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: what I want to do, being able to work with

239
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: different artists, and like having a range, a wide range

240
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: of like sounds that I can tap in with different people.

241
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: And I just feel like this is what I want it.

242
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: You know, it don't It's not as glamorous from the

243
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: outside looking then, But you know, I make good money,

244
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: I own my masters, you know. I'm intact with my soul,

245
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: my spirit, you know, and I do what I want.

246
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: You know. I can move in my own pace, Like

247
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: if something is something don't feel right, I could pull

248
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: the plug, you know. But I can also take chances,

249
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: you know, I can, Like I like being in control

250
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: of when I can when I want to, like maybe

251
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: take a chance, go out on the edge. A little

252
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: bit and just that kind of like slow paced grind.

253
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: So I've always been I guess like content bro with

254
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: being independent and watching it grow slowly and just every

255
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: year is something new, whether it's the strains getting more strained,

256
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: or it's the store and people coming out to the store.

257
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: I just see like if you just slowly keep pushing

258
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: at something, she would just keep unfolding. You know. I

259
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: was gonna say, like everyone has their own success is

260
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: and always we look at this music industry and it's

261
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: so superficial, right. It's like people will look at you

262
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: and be like, ah, man, like, well you ain't. You

263
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: ain't doing what this person's doing and this person's doing.

264
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: But I think success for everyone and happiness is subjective.

265
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: You don't absolutely for a fact. And if you think

266
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: about it, a lot of the stuff with some of

267
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: these you know, some artists that are signed, you know,

268
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: it don't when the curtain closed, it look a lot

269
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: different backstage and it looks in front of stage, you know.

270
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's it's like whatever you feel comfortable with,

271
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: do you always Sometimes those people don't have the right

272
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: control something. A lot of times they don't have the money,

273
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're taking money. You owe people a lot

274
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: of money. You know, the stakes are higher, you know,

275
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: so everybody's in your business trying to tell you what

276
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: to do and what not to do. And it just

277
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: depends on how you want to do this music thing.

278
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: You know. The cool shit is like you able to

279
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: do it. It's big enough. The pool is big enough

280
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: for people to do it every which way to get

281
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: to it. And at the end of the day, you know,

282
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: it's your legacy you leave them behind. And how many

283
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: people you're gonna have involved with it? Yeah? Demmrick like you,

Speaker 1: get into the studio with him and and do some

297
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: songs with him, to being on tour with them, to

298
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: travel into even tapping into uh, introducing me to the

299
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: songwriting or the or the touring and and all of

300
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: that type of stuff, and then actually being able to

301
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: loop it all the way around to being in a

302
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: group with them and four projects later. That's crazy. It's

303
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: crazy who you said, but the four like you a

304
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,440

305
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, I we'll let that unfold when it when

306
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: it folks. But I'll tell you this, maybe twisting some knobs.

307
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,480

322
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: are some things that you've learned from being around be Real?

323
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: Being around Exhibit because a lot of people don't know

324
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: man exhibits. Like a lot of people be like, well,

325
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: what happened to Exhibit? But like Exhibit is a boss

326
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: on some other ship. He got his alcohol shit and

327
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: his weed shit is out of here, like, and he

328
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: definitely did the movies and the television and just shot

329
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: the Triple X State whatever Triple X he was in

330
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: with all of these Cube State of the Union. I

331
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: definitely learned a lot from him, just on how to

332
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: like move through the game and just you gotta be

333
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: confident and get into it. And he's you know, both

334
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: him and be Real also taught me about diversifying and

335
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: having multiple different things and even Dizzy Dizzey's killing it.

336
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: By the way, we're gonna get to the guy damn

337
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: the dizzy o G. Yeah, well shit, you know, shout out,

338
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: shout out gas Cod because I got Demrix Gaslado and Demricks,

339
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: Mac Tonight and Cushco. We got Stony Point with Hapa

340
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: selling and the stores in Vegas. So it's like diversifying

341
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: and tapping into these different uh, just these different markets

342
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: that are natural to what you do. What you do

343
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: is is a big part of it. It's like, I've

344
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: been doing this shit already for a long time, so

345
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: it's just about doing it on on the next level

346
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: and trying to make sure that now you're putting a

347
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: stamp on it so that other people could try what

348
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: you think is fired. Yeah, I wanted Dizzey, I wanted

349
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: you to kind of give me some insight on like

350
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: on the on the weed side of ship, right because

351
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: you got your your strain that's doing really well. I

352
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: feel like I see a lot of dispensaries. I know

353
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: it's an azy, I know it's I mean it's everywhere.

354
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: What because I don't think a lot of people understand

355
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: how how the weed shit works like legally yet still

356
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: it's still kind of like wait what like so for you.

357
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: Is it like they're licensing your name? Is it another

358
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: company you're working with? Like how hands honor you with

359
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: the strain and the actual brand and the actual weeders,

360
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: because you know a lot of times people will just

361
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: like license your likeliness for whatever. The fuck? Right is it? Like?

362
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: What is that? It's similar to that. Yeah, it's pretty

363
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: much like that where they're license and my name and

364
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: my face pretty much. But back in two thousand, I

365
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: think it was thirteen or fourteen, I was hands on

366
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: deck with like helping create the strain, you know, finding

367
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: the right strain. They were crossing a lot of different

368
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: strains to try to find what would be the diz Og.

369
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: So shout out the Crown Genetics because the Crown Og

370
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: and the King Louis is the cross that we use

371
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: to get diz og. And it's been that way ever since.

372
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, we knew back then that we was futuristic.

373
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: You know, it felt like it was just strong as

374
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: fuck potent and it was like the next level of weeds.

375
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: So we knew that it would it would it would

376
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: live for a long time. So Dizzy o G has

377
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: been doing really great and now we got the cookies.

378
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: Now we're doing Dizzey cookies. Okay's my first train of cookies.

379
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: So we tapping into something like that around here, starting

380
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: in California. So I'm excited, man, Just taking of the

381
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: day at a time, not moving too fast, you know,

382
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: and really trying to build the brand. You know, my

383
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 1: face is on it, like your face is on it,

384
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, being able to walk in the dispensary and

385
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: see my smiling face. Man, I'm like, I'm gonna push

386
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: this ship to the death for sure. Yeah. Man, So

387
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: it's been cool for a lot of fans that don't

388
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: know behind the scenes. I don't know where you're at

389
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: with the situation, but I had a conversation with Dame

390
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: and him and Hopson are back kosher. Yeah, they're back talking.

391
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: There might be something happening between them two, not necessarily music,

392
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: but something which I never thought would ever happened. Me

393
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: and you, I mean, obviously you're really close to the situation,

394
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, you guys are my guys

395
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: and Dames. You know, I've had a good relationship with

396
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: Dame for a long time, and I thought that that

397
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: was like when he called me and told me that

398
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: they were called was like You're for real the fuck now,

399
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: I had asked him, like, so, does this mean the

400
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: gang is getting back together? Now? This was like a

401
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: month ago and he and he had told me that

402
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: you and him might have had like some weird energy.

403
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Now I don't know you and Dame, but like, what

404
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: is that? What is the By the way, shout out

405
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: to Jared Jaren for being one of the best people

406
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: in the world, But what is like your interest in

407
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: getting the crew back together? Per se you Hopson and

408
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: Jaren And maybe even if it's just a song, not

409
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: even like Funk Volume coming back or on the album,

410
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: like just the record something like that, what's your interest

411
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: in that? I would be I would be down. I'm

412
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: not gonna say that my interest is crazy high. Like

413
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm just extremely looking forward to, but

414
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: I would like to see it happen eventually. It's crazy

415
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: because as close as I was to the situation, I

416
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: disconnected myself so much. You know, when me and Dame

417
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: kind of had our little falling out and the energy

418
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: was kind of where between us, I completely just kind

419
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: of detached myself from all thoughts of moving forward in

420
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: any kind of direction with like Funk Volume with that

421
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: old shit. Yeah, with the old shit I was trying

422
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: to figure out. I kind of felt like it put

423
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: me in a funk a little bit because the fans

424
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: were kind of like, you know, I had never did

425
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: nothing to have the fans you know, on my page

426
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: or coming at me with so much negative energy. This

427
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: was kind of this kind of happened after the breakup,

428
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: so it was kind of all like, I didn't do

429
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. Yeah, it was all kind of new for me,

430
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, new energy. So I had to figure out

431
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: how to shake that and like do my own thing.

432
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: But I absolutely don't know the details about Dame and

433
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: Hop right now, like I was supposed to. Actually, I

434
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: was gonna get with Dame a couple of weeks ago

435
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: in Vegas, and we weren't able to make it happen.

436
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: But he's probably stuck at the craps table. Probably man

437
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: is a gambling man. Oh yeah, he gets his money,

438
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

439
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: I definitely think that it's a I think it's a

440
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: beautiful thing to see Hop step into his own you know.

441
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: I know that he's been doing some soul searching. He's

442
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: been traveling, and I really wanted that for him as

443
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: a hummy, even back when we were on the same

444
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: label together. So you know, if he was able to

445
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: like tap into some some higher energies to make him,

446
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, see things a little differently and feel better

447
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: about himself. Like I'm off, I'm all about getting around

448
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: that type of energy, and you and him had recently

449
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: kind of correct me if I'm wrong, but you and

450
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,800

451
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,480

00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: communicating because I feel like there was so much man

454
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: during that time. I remember, like that last tory y'all

455

Speaker 1: of I guess it came to a good place more recently.

461
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: Is that's true? Yeah, Yeah, there was some things that

462
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know about the fallout that wasn't made really

463
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: clear to me that I found out maybe two years later.

464
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: I hadn't talked to Hopson in like two or three

465
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: years or some shit like that, and then I finally

466
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: hit him and asked him a question. And from there,

467
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: you know, I have realized that there was it was

468
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: some extreme miscommunication when when funk volume was like falling apart.

469
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: So we was able to kind of hash things out

470
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: from there. And then last year I did go pop

471
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: up on him. Well, he actually popped up on me

472
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: and a lambbo. Yeah, I say, I'm on my tour bus,

473
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: but my boy popped up in the lembo. So I

474
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: was just super proud of him, and we was able

475
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: to just you know, get on good terms. And you

476
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: never know, man, you never know the fans might get something.

477
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: Is it kind of like a gifted a curse having

478
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: fans like that? Oh for sure, because it's like like

479
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: you said, it's like yo, they're hitting like like I

480
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: feel like like those kind of fans like you know,

481
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: shout out to strange music or like like those kind

482
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: of fans are so crazy. Yeah, I tried to shift

483
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: away from those kind of fans. Actually, I kind of

484
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: let them weary theyself out of the dizzy, right, vibes,

485
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, if that wasn't what they was into. Cause

486
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not like a I fuck all the

487
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: other rappers, but we fuck with you, you know type

488
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: of dude. Like I don't want those kind of fans.

489
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: I want fans that are real, like like music, enjoy music,

490
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: and know how to pick the shit they like and

491
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: know how to stay away from the shit that they

492
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: don't like. But I don't want to be a part

493
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: of like, ah, fuck, this person fucked this person, but

494
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: you to go, you know what I mean? It was

495
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: just But then again, you can't you can't control how

496
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: people think, and you can't control what kind of fans

497
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: you have, so you gotta kind of roll with the punches.

498
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: It's just a learning experience, that's fair. Man. You guys

499
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: together this new project. You guys just dropped the video yesterday.

500
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: We did day before yesterday. Yeah, don't worry. Has it

501
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: been hard like pushing like obviously putting a new album out,

502
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: not being able to do the normal shit you would do, Like,

503
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: has it been hard to like push this project the

504
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 1: way you want to? Obviously? You guys fuck with us.

505
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: Look at me fucking with your mike man, we're in

506
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 1: close proximity. This is a first interview with multiple three people,

507
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: so excuse us, but I mean even like shooting videos

508
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: and shit, like I remember like March April, like motherfuckers

509
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: would get frowned upart if they're doing a video shoot,

510
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: like you're a selfish motherfucker. Tell this, just thinking, Deren,

511
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: we was looking at the situation, you know, I'm in

512
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: Vegas and like, we got this project and we had

513
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: this whole plan put in place. You know, we were

514
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna start shooting videos and how we were gonna roll

515
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: it out, and what we were gonna do, how we

516
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: were gonna get the fans involved, all the shit, you know,

517
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: and then the pandemic happened, and I was kind of like,

518
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the right thing to do

519
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: to come and shoot a video, and then you know,

520
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: we had to kind of figure out like do we

521
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: let this time consume us? And then we like, you know,

522
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: then sitting in a couple of weeks kind of looking

523
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: like damn, I wish we would have shot that video

524
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: at least so we could have something to promote, you know,

525
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: instead of like not having anything. So we end up

526
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: pushing through it. But it was weird. It was definitely weird,

527
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: fucking weird. And if you if you even see the

528
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: All Night video or the the we ain't the same.

529
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: Like there's not a lot of people. There's no extra

530
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: people in the video. You know, it was very small set.

531
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 1: We shot with one director, mad Alonzo, and uh, you know,

532
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: we first one we rely heavily on the concept of

533
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: like playing these characters and kind of having fun with it.

534
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: And then the second one was a lot of graphics.

535
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: So we made sure that, you know, because at that time,

536
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: nobody was even trying to book out a spot or

537
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: that's this thing, so it was like, you know, we

538
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: had to maneuver to try to make it happen. It's

539
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: it's being more relaxed lately, I feel, yeah, it's kind

540
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: of getting into I see people kind of maneuvering a

541
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: little more. But yeah, a couple of months ago, you

542
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: ain't know, how was it you just did a show

543
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma? Right, Yeah, I don't know what the by

544
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: the way shot Oklahoma a great weed state now, a

545
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: lot of dispensaries there. I went there to do a

546
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: weed show. I was gonna ask you, like, what was

547
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: that like doing the show during these times. Was it

548
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: like social distancing? Like, yeah, it was, And I was

549
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: a little nervous at first, but you know, they made

550
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: it very clear. You know, I could they had a

551
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: spot for me that was kind of away from everybody,

552
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: and I didn't have to do some of the obligations

553
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: that I had agreed to originally before the like the

554
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: meet and greed and kind of like sitting down and

555
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: judging some of the shit, you know, some of the

556
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: things that I just naturally would go do at the

557
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: weak events. It ended up just be it just ended

558
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: up being me and Hapa and my boy Peanut popping

559
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: up and you know, kind of just staying ducked off

560
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: in the room, jumping on stage and doing the show.

561
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: But I will say this, like the show for me

562
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: personally felt really good because I'm like I hadn't been

563
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: on stage. Yeah, it was super therapeutic. Bro, I damned there.

564
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: Didn't Like I like I was supposed to do a

565
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: thirty minute said, I think I did forty five just

566
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: off the shrink because I was just like having a

567
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: great time on stage and I just realized how much

568
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: I really like being on stage. So, you know, they

569
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: were kind of far back and like they had them

570
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: all social distance and like, you know, people it's a

571
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: weed event, so you know, people were stone and kind

572
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: of just staring. But I was on stage, like you know,

573
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: like I was at a festival because it's right, it

574
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: had just been so long and when this when this

575
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: concert ship come back around and we could tour again. Man, shit, whoever,

576
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: at the first couple of shows, they're gonna be in

577
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: for a treat, because people gonna be going crazy, gonna

578
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: be going for Are you guys worried about like because

579
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, Live Nation announced that they're gonna cut artists

580
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: pay next year, are you guys like prepared to like

581
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: make less money from promoters or maybe because I feel

582
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: like at the very least, a lot of venues are

583
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna close, right, and a lot of promoters are gonna,

584
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: like I don't know how many are gonna survive, especially

585
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: like the smaller promoters. And then I don't know how

586
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: long it's gonna take for people to be super comfortable,

587
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: like fuck it, I'm gonna pull up to a show,

588
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, even when shit is quote

589
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: unquote back, Do you guys think like that might affect

590
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: like either a like the bag that you guys are

591
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna get, or just the structure of the bag, like, hey,

592
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: if it sells out, you guys get a botus. I

593
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: know that those already exist, but like, yeah, even more

594
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: so that than like usual. That's why. That's why it's

595
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: kind of like that balancing. You know, the shit is

596
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: good for your soul exactly, and the ship that's like

597
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: for the bag. You know, like if you a nigga

598
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: like me that like thrives off of the fans' energy,

599
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, being able to get on stage and get

600
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: off stage and fuck with the fans is everything for me.

601
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: You know. That's how I keep going. That's how I

602
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: keep pumping out the music. Put because I'm inspired by

603
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: just the every day struggle to everyday life people that's

604
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: just inspired that's coming out to just all come to

605
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: one place for the same thing. So I feed it.

606
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: I kind of need that for my spirit. I found

607
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: myself kind of like feeling a little lost at the

608
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: beginning of this because I was just like, damn, I'm

609
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: not used to dropping the project and just being behind

610
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: the keyboard the whole time. Yeah, exactly, It's extremely difficult

611
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: for me, and like my store was shut down, you know,

612
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, this is just didn't feel right,

613
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's really I think

614
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: once the shows come back, you know, if long as

615
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: you can make some money where you can walk away

616
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: with some money and you're not losing money, it's a

617
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: dub to me. Yeah, fans again, sell some merch. That's it.

618
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: That's it. And I look at it like even with

619
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: dropping Blaze with us too, it's like we see the

620
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: numbers and we're like, okay, and you see the comments

621
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: of people saying that they fucking with the music, but

622
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: nothing's like going to that concert or going to that show,

623
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: or really meeting those people and seeing how much the

624
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: music is inspiring them, or seeing them singing the lyrics

625
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: like like oh this ship, this ship hit in Tulsa,

626
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: those of every word off a project. I just drive

627
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: that part. I'm doing this for a reason. Yeah, that

628
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: ship will keep you going. And then like getting fan

629
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: paintings and ship yeah oh yeah, and I take them

630
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: all home and hang them up. I cave them all

631
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: this shit. I mean I cherished that ship. What was

632
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: the Disney you Tourtech nine a couple of years ago

633
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: I did. I did, and uh that's its own kind

634
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: of world, right street music thing. And then also just

635
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: touring there like with them, like the rules are crazy,

636
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: like the bus rules and they'd be fineing motherfucker like

637
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: Travis don't play. Oh yeah, Like I know a lot

638
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: of people who have either just quit those tours or

639
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: gotten kicked off the tours. And how how was that

640
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: experience touring Retecht nine and just getting getting into that

641
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: world and then also kind of just dealing with all

642
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: the strange music shit. Man, It's like inspiring, but it

643
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: was also extremely tough. You know, you can't smoke on

644
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: the bus, right, yeah, you can't smoke smoking on the buses.

645
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: And what bothered me, I think it's the going to

646
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: venues that I went to by myself that you know

647
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: they have they have rooms for me to smoke in.

648
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: You know, they got ducked off areas for me to be.

649
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: You know, they know they like dizzy coming. We got

650
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that we got a fan upstairs and

651
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: we open the windows and let them be you know,

652
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: upstairs and away from everybody. And like, you know, some

653
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: of those places we were coming to that had like

654
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: those setups for me Strange Music was shutting it down,

655
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: and that shit was eating at my spirit a little bit,

656
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: because you know, I I thrive off not having no

657
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: weed problems. I know I talk a lot about weed

658
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: and shit, but it's not cool to get in trouble

659
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: for this shit. You know. You gotta be smart, you

660
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: gotta move smart. And I you know, I dropped the album,

661
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: my first album on four twenty in twenty twelve, and

662
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: I ain't never had a problem, never had a run

663
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: in with the police about weed, not once. You know,

664
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: in my whole career. You're not gonna I'm not bragging

665
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: or like showing off. I'm just just trying to make

666
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: it apparent like on how serious it is, you know,

667
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: and especially in some of those ran the market you

668
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: be in and what I install on my team, you know,

669
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: because it's not just me, like I ain't never had

670
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 1: nobody on the road with me getting too no weed trouble,

671
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, like personally somebody that I brought nah a nigga.

672
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: We all on the same page, you know what I'm saying.

673
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: For years, so being on the road with Strange Music

674
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: and having doing this for so long and always finding

675
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: a way to stay out of the way. I felt

676
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: like they kind of you know, they don't want you

677
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: smoking in the venue. They don't want you smoking backstage,

678
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: they don't want you smoking on the bus, they don't

679
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: want you smoking in the hotel. So it's like, where

680
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: do you want me to smoke? You want me to

681
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: go outside in front of and you might get the fans,

682
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: in front of the people, in front of businesses. It

683
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: felt more like I was being put in danger kind

684
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: of like instead of being ducked off normally, you know,

685
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: and I had I would call Travis a trip with

686
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: him about this shit because I'm like, man, Travis, I

687
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: feeling like, you know, you you Nigga's putting us in

688
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: like dangerous situations. He just like, you know, the room.

689
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: It's just like, yo, is that the toughest story to beyondest? Oh?

690
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: Very very much, so very much. So. I was inspired

691
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: by Tech, you know, and just what he was able

692
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: to build. You know, I'm just so inspired by you know,

693
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: him and what he was able to do and how

694
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: he's able to get up there and the show he's

695
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: able to put on and every single city. Yeah, it's

696
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: really inspiring. And he don't complain. He loves what he do.

697
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not like, you know, he's not pressed,

698
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: he's not you know, complaining, he's not drunk, wilding out.

699
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: He's just tech. You know, he's working out, he's fucking

700
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: but you know, shit, I feel the same way. I

701
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: feel like I'm an easy person to work with. You know,

702
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: I just need to be able to, you know, do

703
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: my little smoke dang when I need to do my

704
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: little smoke dang, and you know, maybe not blow it

705
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: down on the bus where it might bring some extra

706
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: attention to other people. But you know, when you at

707
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: these shows, you definitely want to be comfortable, especially before

708
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: you get on stage. So it was inspiring, but it

709
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: was also extremely tough for me. I can imagine, hey, bro,

710
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: that honestly, that's the thing that's like, we live in

711
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: we live in LA and Vegas. People legal and you

712
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And like when we traveling and

713
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: shit like that, you get some places and you see

714
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: how that actual state really frowns on this shit. And

715
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: then imagine not being able to smoke in the venue

716
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: where you tucked away, like anything could happen to you

717
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: out there on the streets if you're in one of

718
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: those states, and it's a shame because six hours away

719
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: you're good. Six hours away you good, and then six

720
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: hours here you like, oh, you know, so much is

721
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: on the line and something like they don't even allow

722
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: smoking outside in some of the places where they kind

723
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: of wanted us to just kind of smoke outside. Yeah,

724
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's not my thing. You know, I try

725
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: to do well with kind of stand duck off and

726
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: out the way. You know what I'm saying. I don't

727
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: need to be blowing it down all in everybody face

728
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: and things like that. You know. So, but you know,

729
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Strange Music runs they

730
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: ship the way they want to run they ship, and

731
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: it works and they've been successful, and they run it

732
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: that way so they can keep law and ordering what

733
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: they got going. And you gotta respect that if you

734
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: want to be a part of that. I went to

735
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: be a part of they ship. It was you I

736
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: signed up for. Now. Don't get me wrong. I was

737
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: told that I could do my smoke thing. Now now

738
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: I agreed to not smoke on the bus. You know,

739
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would have I don't know

740
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: if I would have signed up to not for it

741
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: to be for me to be me and my team

742
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: to be put in those kind of situations because you know,

743
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: Nigga was raining and snowing and the type of ship

744
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: and they're like, Yo, I'm gonna get fined if I

745
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: smoke in the spot that they that the venue says

746
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't because on you to perform right right,

747
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: So Edibles, this is like a sangerous I like Edibles

748
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: when I'm getting ready to go to sleep, you know,

749
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: so when I'm operating during the day, you know, I

750
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: just need to puff it down a little bit. I

751
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: was just kind of like shressed out more than I'm

752
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: normally shressed out on the road, you know what I'm saying.

753
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: So other than that, it was all love. I feel

754
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: like a natural thing that you and Berner have a

755
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: great chemistry on records, both of you guys. Actually, I'm curious,

756
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: like Burn's knowing to drop just hell with collab projects.

757
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he just put out shit with Currency this

758
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: year and another beat real project, like he's with either

759
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: of you guys. Has there ever been a discussion of

760
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: doing like a Fool release with Berner. I haven't personally

761
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 1: talked to Burner about doing the full release. I talked

762
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: to him about maybe like executive producing because his beat

763
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,439

823
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,880

824
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,879

825
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: the earth. I know. I know people always tell me

826
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: that maybe, but shit, I don't have no desire to

827
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Some people just like, oh, it'll

828
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: make you get through your day better, or maybe it'll

829
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: make you look at things a little differently. And I'm like, shit,

830
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: right now, I like, yeah, you know what I'm saying.

831
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: What about I've done I've done shrooms twice and I

832
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: had one great experience and I've had one not so

833
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: good experience. So I'm all I'm like, was what happened

834
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: with the not so good I just had? I had

835
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: it just a piece of chocolate. I didn't know how

836
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: much it was. And then, uh, I just was watching

837
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: a movie and it felt like the person in the

838
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 1: movie tell the person though. Samuel L. Jackson was yelling

839
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: at me, and it tripped me out man big time.

840
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: And I was I was in Philadelphia and it was

841
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: winter and you're in a row You're in a row

842
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: home in there, so you can't really get out nowhere.

843
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: And that's the first time and uh, yeah, you know,

844
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: homies had to sit me down, you have relaxed, give

845
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: me some water, tell me it's all in my head

846
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: type ship. And then I was like, I'm not going

847
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: to judge it off of that experience, because uh so,

848
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson was like, coming out the TV on you

849
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: ain't motherfucker with something. I'm like, damn movie where you're

850
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: watching it, because that also might be like I forget that, Yeah,

851
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: one of them ones. And right anyway, he felt like

852
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: he was talking to him. Yeah, black snake moan. I

853
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: don't know, man, he's got something that I can imagine.

854
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: We're way more intense if you're on truth. But I

855
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: realized though that you got to be able to be

856
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: around the situation where you can move freely and it's

857
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: good to you know, do it in like outside and

858
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: nature and ship like that, and really enjoyed full spectrum

859
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: of the situation. So I went back and redid the experiences.

860
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: It was better. Yeah, it was way better, man, I'm like,

861
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: but it's still I realized you gotta be able to, like,

862
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: you know, people who like could have control over a

863
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of shit. Probably not gonna like psychedelics in my opinion,

864
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: because you don't got no fucking control over that. You know,

865
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: your mind start going where it's going and you just

866
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: gotta go with it, hit the button and just go.

867
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: You'll get a bad trip or some shit like that.

868
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what always made me like I

869
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: feel like I'd be one of them niggas that have

870
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: start panicking, like and I don't want to take no

871
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: motherfucking chances, so I don't do shit. Have you ever

872
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,160

890
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: bar open and put the block of hash in there

891

Speaker 1: and then close it up and eat it, eat it,

892
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,520

Speaker 1: with him, I never I never, I never tried it.

894
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: And so we were all a shot out problem. He

895
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: was out there, we was all out there, and I said,

899
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: got back to my hotel room and I started to

900
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,080

901
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: above my body and uh you know, and then I

902
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: just I just laid there and just let it, let

903
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,640

Speaker 1: It was a Ritz and Yellowolf concert, and I felt

915
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: like I could hear everybody talking in the concert. I

916
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: could like hone in like there was like two thousand

917
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: people in this ventu. You know, maybe maybe like one conversation.

918
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: I'd be on the other side of the venue and

919
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: I like look in the middle of a concert, just

920
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: look at somebody on the other side of the building

921
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: and hear exactly what they're saying. Yeah, you was tripping.

922
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was tripping, though I felt

923
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: like I was like yo, I couldn't move my legs. Though.

924
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: I remember when I had the hash niggers, like, I

925
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: was like, fuck it, I feel weird. I'm not to

926
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: throw on like some YouTube and watch like a little

927
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: movie or whatever. And slowly but surely the words stopped.

928
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: I stopped being able to understand what was being said

929
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: in the movie. Right, just sounded like shit just started

930
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: off like what am I even watching? Just cut it

931
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: off and it was a dangerous because you can't like

932
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: eat to get it to go away. You know, got

933
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: to like just let the high pass. There's no other choice, bug,

934
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: you can't. I tried to get in a shower and

935
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: watch that ship. I had to look at myself in

936
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: the middle and everything. I was just like off of Bonghad.

937
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: Though off of Bonghad, Bro, are you not a big dabber?

938
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: I imagine now I became a big dabber. This was

939
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: before dabs was dabs, you know, it wasn't dabbing yet

940
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: when I did this. Uh, And this was actually in Minnieanapolis.

941
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: I had first got with shout out to Prince with

942
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: the funk volume Niggas, and it was like my first

943
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: time going out there, and like Dame kind of had

944
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: me running around watching what Hopson was doing. You know,

945
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: as far as Meet and Greens skating, right, listen, you're

946
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: gonna play skate with fans, Disney. You don't know how

947
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: to skate, figure out how to skate. You're just gonna

948
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: go show up at the fans house and play them

949
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: and skate fags fags, bro. But I remember I just

950
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: started making my little fans, you know what I'm saying.

951
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: And I went to go smoke with one of my

952
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: fans and filled the bong up and tried to hit

953
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: that big ass bong and was fucked up. Whole world

954
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: tilt the sideway. Jesus, I don't like being that high.

955
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: How was the experience of you guys doing the the

956
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: album a couple of years ago with Audio Push and Jaring.

957
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: Everybody was in the house together. You're the only one

958
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: who didn't show up to freestyle, by the way, everyone

959
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,479
Speaker 1: came into the radio station. But you blame blame Dame,

960
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: blame Hey, I'm telling you, if Dame doesn't make some

961
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: merg that just us blame day. He's cripping. But but

962
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: how was that experience because that obviously I can imagine.

963
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like staying in Austin and the

964
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: recording process. I mean, all you guys are boys. Audio

965
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: pushed the great guy shout out to Price at octane

966
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: and was great when we all went out there. We

967
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: originally milia Rohaus was there too. Yeah, we was originally

968
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna get in the studio and then the studio didn't

969
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: allow smoking, so we all brought studios. So we just

970
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: set our studios up at the crib and just kind

971
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 1: of turned it into like a little musical trap house,

972
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: you know. And we we were there for the whole

973
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: week and just feeding off each other energy from sun

974
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: up the sundown, you know what I'm saying. And it

975
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 1: was dope. Then we like we were loving the record

976
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: so much that we started going out and shooting videos

977
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: and stuff like that and like really adding to it.

978
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: It's very similar to what j Co did some years

979
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: later with the Dreamville project. Yeah, it just invited a

980
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: bunch of people. Yeah, when I seen that, I was like, damn,

981
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: we essentially did something like that, you know what I'm saying.

982
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: But the rollout and when it came time, just things

983
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: kind of went left field. Like me and Dame had

984
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: a falling out, and then I wasn't a part of

985
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: the Free Styles and I wasn't a part of a

986
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: bunch of different shit, And I think it took a

987
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: lot of momentum away from what we were doing. But

988
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: as far as building it up to get it where

989
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: it was, we had a lot of fun. We had

990
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: the creation part of it, just even tapping in with people,

991
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, somebody producing right there, another person coming up

992
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: with a chorus, and then other room people working on

993
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: the song, and yeah, people did still go two on

994
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: the mic. Man, So I can only imagine like the

995
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: like the friendly competition, Oh yeah, had the level of

996
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: every times it's gonna be like what you got. Oh yeah,

997
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: oh you had. You had the hardest verse yesterday, so

998
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: that means today I gotta had the hardest. Nigga was

999
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: in there, he was doing it. It was a lot

1000
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: of fun. You had mentioned earlier that you were attempted

1001
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: to meet up with Dame a couple of weeks ago.

1002
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: What was the because obviously you had stuck you kind

1003
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: of stuck with Dame after the Funk Volume thing. What

1004
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: was the like, what was y'all's issue that you know

1005
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: made that kind of split because I remember he stopped

1006
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: fucking with you and it was with Futuristic for a

1007
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: little bit, and he's doing his Entreneur music club thing,

1008
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: But like, what what had happened between you two? Obviously

1009
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: it's better now, I'm assuming, or at least on the

1010
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: way to be in bad. Yeah, it's on the way

1011
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: to being better. It's definitely. I definitely don't got no

1012
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: hard feelings for Dame or nothing like that. I guess, Bro,

1013
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I was the one to kind of

1014
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: ride with Dame definitely. And then, you know, finding out

1015
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: that Hopson wasn't making any money off of Dizzy Right

1016
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: was kind of like the big bang for me, because

1017
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, Hopson made it seem like there was money problems,

1018
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: but he never said that he wasn't making a dollar

1019
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: from Dizzy Right. You know, I'm on Hopson's label, and

1020
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: I respected Hobson so much, and I respected him so much,

1021
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: and I was very appreciative for him allowing me to

1022
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: come out and do those shows with him and get

1023
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: my feet wet as an artist. You know, I just

1024
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: wanted to get out of Vegas, Bro. You know, we

1025
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: was just out there all kind of doing the same

1026
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: little bubble. I feel like it's hard to get out.

1027
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to get out of it. And not only that,

1028
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to get with an artist that has like

1029
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: fans in a platform for you to travel the world

1030
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: without it being like a major artist or like having

1031
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: to have like some crazy stipulations to it. So I

1032
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: felt like he kind of opened up his platform to

1033
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: me with open arms, you know, and finding out that

1034
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't a part of the come up with me financially,

1035
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: you know that he was pieced out of that. It

1036
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: just changed me and Dame's relationship forever because I thought

1037
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: Dame was the fairest nigg in the world, you know,

1038
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: But I didn't know the logistics on the problem. And

1039
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 1: that's why me and Hopson had to have a conversation

1040
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: because I had to call him like, Bro, did you

1041
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: ever make any money? He was like, Noah, and that's

1042
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: my fault. I should have told you. And I'm like,

1043
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: you let three years go by a nigga with me

1044
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: running around with this nigga and you didn't let me

1045
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: know thinking that this nigga was the fairest nigg in

1046
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: the world, and it kind of blew my mind when

1047
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: I you know, I had to just ask dam like

1048
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: was Hopson cut out? And its just like yeah, you know,

1049
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: because he pretty much felt responsible for finding me and

1050
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: giving me the opportunities, even though it was Hopson's platform

1051
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: we was using. So I just felt some type of

1052
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: way about that shit and I wanted to like separate

1053
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: myself from that. What I didn't do is I didn't

1054
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: say anything to and I didn't like make it a

1055
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: big thing. I didn't get on my hops and ship

1056
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: and and like, Yo, fuck this nigga, Dad, I'm not

1057
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: fucking with him no more. I just stopped fucking with him.

1058
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move accordingly now. But a lot of people

1059
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: felt like Dame was still in my corner kind of

1060
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: helping me out. And I seen the fans responding to

1061
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things thinking that Dame was the one

1062
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: moving with me when I was moving by myself for

1063
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: so long. So I just felt like the best way

1064
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: to get out of that was to just keep working,

1065
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, just keep working and keep doing things for myself.

1066
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, it was a tricky little situation. Was

1067
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: it was that the same I mean, I don't know

1068
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: if you know this or not, because I'm not trying to,

1069
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: But was it was that a similar situation with Jaron?

1070
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: You think, where like, did you know if Hopsin saw

1071
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: anything off of Jaron? I don't know. I don't know,

1072
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: to be honest. I always thought we all had similar deals,

1073
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: and that's why I always thought it was fair, and

1074
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: I just thought that what was fair. Hopson didn't think

1075
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: that was fair anymore. So that was alway, Hey, from

1076
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: his perspective totally right from his perspective, totally because he

1077
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: deserved to have a team behind him instead of just

1078
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: one person. So I completely understand paying one person for

1079
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: what a team could be doing and getting one person's

1080
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: results instead of a team results could make you feel

1081
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: like that. So I definitely, I definitely just learned a

1082
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: lot from that shit, bro and then going into doing

1083
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,959
Speaker 1: still Moving records, my own label and shit like that.

1084
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: At first I was going to do it with Dame,

1085
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: and then I just learned more about the business. And

1086
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: as I was learning about the business, and I don't

1087
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: want to make it seem like I'm throwing Dame under

1088
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: the bus because we're passed this and I feel like

1089
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: you live and you learn right or like I have

1090
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: no hard feelings or anything. But at the time, oh yeah,

1091
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: I was salty than the motherfucker, you know what I'm saying,

1092
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: because I felt like I have road with somebody and

1093
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: I didn't know the full truth and I didn't know

1094
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: how to feel about that. Damn. Yeah, that's crazy shout

1095
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: out to I mean, I, like I said, I'm just

1096
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 1: happy that at the end of the day, like there's

1097
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: some sort of roadmap to everyone just talking again. I

1098
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: guess yeah, I think everybody. Everybody could have did better

1099
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: and everybody still can do better, so you never know

00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: called Sick of Complaining. I'm excited about that. Let's say,

1134
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: just working with different artists, saying creative, you know, and

1135
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: staying inspired by people's hunger. Demrick when it's Serial Killers

1136
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,439
Speaker 1: for coming out, it'll come. It's called a Summer sam

1137
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: so it'll be out sometime next month. So we were

1138
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: we're still locking in the exact day, but it's for

1139
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: sure coming out in September. What is I know, Demrik

1140
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: could be doing a lot of writing for a lot

1141
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: of artists. Like when you do that, like is it,

1142
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: uh do you ever like like how how do you

1143
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: approach that creatively compared to when you work on your

1144
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: own shit, It's really the same process. But I just

1145
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: think kind of like tapping into the energy that, you know,

1146
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: the goal that that artist is trying to get accomplished,

1147
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: and just trying to more essentially write, get creative with

1148
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: that person, you know, and kind of just keep that

1149
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: in mind of the direction that they're going to go with.

1150
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people that I like to make music.

1151
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: I can make a lot of music, hit the studio,

1152
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: and just get creative. So if one day it's going

1153
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: down this lane, next day we're doing some stuff for

1154
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: some television and film, or if I'm plotting on something

1155
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: that I want to do, then I'm just always putting

1156
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: a plan together. Really, is it still like extremely uh

1157
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: taboo to like ghostwrit or like if you're like a

1158
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: rapper and you have a ghostwriter. I just I don't know.

1159
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so, just because I just feel like

1160
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: songwriting is songwriting. You know, people get it. Feel like

1161
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: the Drake thing kind of made it like a little

1162
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: bit more okay, even though he got shipped for it

1163
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: at first. But now it's like, yo, fam, Drake's still

1164
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:37,479
Speaker 1: the biggest rapper of the world. Fans made it clear

1165
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: that they don't care. Yeah, and like low key. If

1166
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: you go back to like Kanye's first album, Ryan Fest

1167
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: wrote Jesus Walks and people didn't give a fuck, and

1168
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: a lot of those people be in the room would

1169
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: get creative. You know. There's some people that like to

1170
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: sit in the room by themselves and they got the

1171
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: whole plan on how to get to a to Z,

1172
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: and then there's other people that like to get creative

1173
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: with people. You know. I'm one of those people that.

1174
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: That's why I have a lot of projects with different people,

1175
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: because you know, whether it's a producer or different artists,

1176
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: and I'll be in groups. And then also even when

1177
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: I do my solo shit, I kind of like team

1178
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: up with certain people to do it because I like

1179
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: the team effort of creativity. You know. It's like I

1180
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: don't think that I ever was, you know, sitting in

1181
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: there just writing, you know, writing raps all by myself.

1182
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, saying I was just gonna change the world

1183
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: like that. It was something that I always did with

1184
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: my homies, that I always did with other creatives, and

1185
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's helped me in this industry,

1186
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: do you know, just be able to hop on some

1187
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: with somebody's team and then also do my own thing

1188
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: and then do like it's you know, just should be happening. Yeah, Yeah,

1189
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: that's it. That's what. Oh I love. I love tapping

1190
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: in with a with a producer and uh kind of

1191
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: working together on a on a vibe and energy, and

1192
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: that's how you get Stony point one and two and

1193
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Blaze with US one and Blaze with US two and

1194
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,040

01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: came from a group, so that that always says just

1196
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: been in my heart. I guess the way I create. Wait,

1197
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: which group did you come from? I was. I started

1198
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: early in a group called Tangle Thoughts. So we live

1199
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: in Philly and we moved out to LA together and

1200
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: we actually released a Corrupt Presents album with with that

1201
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: group in two thousand and seven. Bro, So that's how

1202
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,320

01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,040

1207
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: just didn't feel real, you know, it didn't feel like

1208
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: we could take it to the next level. So to

1209
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,320

01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: And he could like rap rap. Both of them can

1216
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: rap rap. But like I mean, obviously, you know, it's

1217
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: just it's it's crazy when you think of Corrupt and

1218
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: like how like I always remember on the Eminem Show

1219
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: when Eminem like named all those rappers that get put

1220
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: ahead of him, like Corrupt was one of them, red man.

1221
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: But I just I guess I wish Corrupt's career would

1222
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: have shook it out a little bit differently. Hey, bro,

1223
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: But if you look at them plaques and them records,

1224
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: that he's no for sure. I'm like, damn, like there

1225
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: was a point in time where he was on everybody's

1226
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: album that like so many goods and shout out to

1227
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: Corrupts moon Rocks. Hello, those moon Rocks ain't no joke

1228
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: and they've been booming for a long time. Yeah, last question, Dizzy,

1229
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: this for you. Logic just retired to be with his family. Obviously,

1230
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,439
Speaker 1: I know you're a big family guy. Like, could either

1231
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: of you guys ever see yourself just stepping away from

1232
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: hip hop? It's not making albums, just like I'm done,

1233
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: I personally can't see it right now for me. Just

1234
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: that's why you gotta just do things for your soul. Man.

1235
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: You gotta make sure you know. I was there. I've

1236
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: seen Logic's whole you know, I was even on tour

1237
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: with him, and I really just you know, I watched

1238
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: how you move. I paid attention. I'm an observer. You know,

1239
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: you really gotta move at your pace and make sure

1240
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you're doing things that's right for your spirit. If you'll

1241
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: get into a position and it'll be overwhelming, you know

1242
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And I feel like you'll find yourself

1243
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: needing to step away or take a breather. I don't

1244
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: think Logic's done forever. I think Logic just needs a

1245
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: break from all the judgment that comes with him. Probably. Yeah,

1246
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: he's been getting mad, you know, and he's been getting

1247
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: it for a couple of years many. I feel like

1248
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: ever since Everybody album came out and he kind of

1249
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: started to talk about his biracial like, just been on

1250
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: since then on his head. Bro, it's been o. He

1251
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: ain't been getting no slack from there, and it was

1252
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: already tough for him before then, just with the stigma

1253
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: of being like a white rapper, you know, but I'm

1254
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: also I'm biracial, right, But you know, he wants to

1255
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: be known for what he is. So not to get

1256
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: too deep or go to off subject, but I personally

1257
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: can't see myself stepping away right now. I want to

1258
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,959
Speaker 1: keep inspiring and I feel like I'm getting better. Right,

1259
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Could you ever retire? I don't think so. I'm always

1260
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: going to be involved in this shit in some kind

1261
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: of way. I mean, this is this gave me life,

1262
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: gave me purpose. Right. It's like, once I started doing music,

1263
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: I fell in love with it. Then I had a

1264
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: direction in life. Before that, I just was I just

1265
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: was out here, so I think that I couldn't see

1266
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: myself in the same thing like I see myself. I

1267
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: gain more fans, more traction, get more opportunities, and understand

1268
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: even my story better about what I want to talk

1269
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: to people about. As the years progress, you know, I

1270
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: still got to I wake up every day trying to

1271
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: get behind the mic or or at least find a

1272
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: play to do with some music that I got going

1273
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: or something. So my mind's in the game, but different levels.

1274
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: You know what, shit, you might catch me behind making

1275
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: a beat one day. You never know. Come on, I
