Almost 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.720 two months ago? Now? Right? Men in June? Right?

Man, 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.760 you guys are fam I was telling Demrik this the 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.080 other day, like, this is a great body of work. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.440 Thank you, bro. Yeah. Thanks. Now you guys went through 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.840 Smokers Club. Shout out to the homie Johnny shipes like 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.239 that was kind of I know that that's kind of 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.840 like a new offshoot of like what cinematic does. What 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.960 is like what was the motivation behind like working with 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.399 Smokers Club for this project, besides the fact that both 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.800 of you guys are degenerate stoner's Well, I've been a 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.440 fan of Smokers Club for a long time. I always 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.280 wanted to be a part of their festivals. But I 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.320 had great tours and shit, yeh had a bunch of 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.120 things going on back in the day. And when I 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.560 found out that they wanted to start releasing music, I 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.480 thought it would be dope to just kind of mix 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.400 what we got going on with what they got going on, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.160 because down on the East coast, right here on the 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.520 West coast, so we thought it could be a dope, man. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.520 And then you guys creatively, I mean when you when 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.760 you broke away from Funk Volume, or when everyone broke 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.680 away from Funk Volume rather and you started still moving 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.640 Demrick was, I want to say, the first artist you announced, right, yeah, 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.960 as a part of the crew. What is like your guys' relationship, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.560 your guys' friendship. You guys have made so much music together. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.479 I think a lot of fans just automatically associate you 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.719 guys together, like it's got to be super easy to 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.640 just like knock Out a project, right, It's just like 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.200 probably natural. Like I feel like we tore. We spent 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.320 a lot of time like out on the road together, 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.479 and we just kind of picked up the habit of 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.240 just you know, getting off the tour bus on days 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.920 off and renting studios so we can smoke and chill 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.479 and make music. And I feel like once we got 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.000 into the studios and we started making music, we like, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.000 first off, this shit is fire and it's really easy 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:50.000 to create facts that's fair. It's almost like I got 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.080 the vibe of like Method Man, Red Men, Blackout, like 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.880 the new era of that with this, you know what 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.720 I'm saying, Like it just had that energy, you know 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.920 what I'm saying, That's the vibe he was going for. Yeah, 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.279 you know, so if Funk Volume was still going, I 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.640 was trying to get Demrick signed the Fun Volume, So 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.680 that's kind of like one of the last things that 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.680 I was trying to do before the label dismantled. So 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.320 you know, just going over into still Moving was it 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.520 was kind of already happened in that way, So the 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.359 vibe was already there. We was already vibing off of 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.200 each other, So being able to bring it back for 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.360 a second time. That's just purely being on the road, 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.960 being inspired, looking at how the fans were responding to 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.120 the first one. Man, it's been four years, maybe we 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.760 could give them another one, you know, And that's kind 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.600 of that's kind of the motivation I wanted to talk 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.799 to you guys about, like each one of you guys 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:42.640 have storied independent careers like Demrick. Obviously, I think the 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.960 first time I met you, you were b Real's hype man. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.800 This was like an O nine in Boise, Idaho. I 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.920 think I think Busybone was supposed to be on the show, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.160 but he was super late. Yeah, and he ended up 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:56.560 not showing up. Yeah, by the way, wild Busybone story 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.080 to share with you about that night because I ended 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.520 up having to pick up for the airport later and 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.200 we did like a little offshoot like show across the street. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.599 It was. That guy's interesting to say the least. But 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.840 obviously you have a storied independent career. Dizzy, Like I 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.920 remember being in Vegas and when you were Dizzy, d flashy, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.560 and you know you kind of had like the youth 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.120 like turned up in Vegas and you know, then you 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.560 transitioning from that to dizzy ride and doing smokeout conversations 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:29.719 and your funk volume run. How how are you guys 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.960 able to like sustain what's going on with the COVID shit, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.159 not being able to go on the road, Like, what 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.200 are some of the ways you guys are are are 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.719 are are I guess innovating to kind of keep keep 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.680 bread coming in on the music shit? Because I feel 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.160 like a lot of people who don't, who are artists 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.680 who might not necessarily have be the smartest with their money, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.159 probably are like having a rough time right now because 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:55.840 you know a lot of artists depend on that bag. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.000 You know what I'm saying to hit you know the back. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.520 If you've burned through the bag and and you was 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.240 you was planning on other tours coming right up, you 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.479 might be in a bad spot right now. Yeah, you 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.200 know what I'm saying. But I think for me, it's 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.880 just about getting consistent. You know. It's as far as 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.520 like always going you know, doing a project and going 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.559 out on the road, doing two tours and then coming 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.680 back and getting something else together and just kind of 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.480 like keeping the process going. You know. I realized that 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.880 the battles really won in the studio, so it's about 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.240 locking into the studio and seeing what I could create 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.680 there now that I have more time on my hands, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.400 you know, to just take out take away the road shit, 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.320 double up, double down. Like, obviously you got your story 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.720 that's going, like you got a lot of other shit 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.720 going on. But like, I do feel like you've you've 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.040 done a really good job of like navigating the indie 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.720 game throughout your career and even like since the Funk 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.320 volume shit kind of went away, because I know that 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.920 was still independent per se, but like I feel like 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.040 you've done a great job of like building like monetizing 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.640 your brand independently since since that had kind of gone away, 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.320 You know what I'm saying, Like, what are the things 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.960 that you would kind of give pointers to artists who 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.000 are watching this like it even fuck the COVID shit 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.000 put that to the side, just like being independent, Like, 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.920 what are the things you think that that you might 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.000 might might see other artists making mistakes with that you 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.160 might have learned from, even mistakes that you might have 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.240 made that you learned from. Yeah, one hundred percent. Actually, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.880 me and Demmock had a conversation last night that kind 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.600 of like relates to this question a little bit, And 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.000 it's like having a balance of knowing when you're doing 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.720 something for your soul and knowing when you're doing something 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:35.800 for the bag. You know, and all the bags ain't 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.920 worth going to get. All the bags ain't gonna be 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.199 good for your soul, and some of the things that's 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.040 good for your soul ain't gonna give you a really 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.520 good bag. So you got to have that balance on 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.640 being able to figure out, you know, what keeps you going, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.720 what keeps you driving, like what keeps the wheels turning? 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.720 Really and for me, it's always, you know, of course, 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.600 creating music. I'm always playing the head, so I'm always 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.199 That's the one thing that COVID shit kind of did 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.160 to me. It kind of prevented me from being able 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.839 to plan ahead, which I wasn't. I haven't been used 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.199 to that ever since I got in the game and 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.440 I've been navigating. I'm always thinking three steps ahead, you know, 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.959 so I'm never running into that time period and kind 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.760 of looking around and figuring out like what I need 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.040 to do, but more just like you know, having a 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.880 plan in play, so when I get there, you know, 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.640 I know exactly what I'm doing. So for me, it's 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:30.240 just really about like creating the music side of things 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.800 and utilizing this time to work with different artists and 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.240 be inspired by different artists. And you know, we're all 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.840 on different levels, so it could be somebody bigger that 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.440 can inspire you, somebody smaller that can inspire you, but 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.719 you know, figuring out that hunger, finding that hunger and 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.960 running with it. I wanted to ask you, Dizzy, because 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.160 you had like a there was a stretch right where 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.800 you were on the Freshman cover and the funk volume 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.320 shit seemed to be doing very well because the Warner 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.200 situation had happened, and your album I think you were 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:02.760 the only Were you the only person who ended up 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.199 putting the album outrough Warner officially or did one of 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:09.600 Hobson's album come up? I think one came Yeah. And 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.760 by the way, Warner dropped the ball on your album 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.480 because I remember I couldn't find it the best buy 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:15.640 they did. I was trying to go by like buy 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.440 our best buy, and I was like, bro, what the 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:22.160 fuck they did? Hitting b Yeah. The coldest part is 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.160 that they told me that it was going to be 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.360 a real rollout, like it was gonna be in I 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.320 wouldn't even have told people they could get it at 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.280 best Buy if you know, they didn't gass me up. 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.560 But you know, it's just trials and tribulations. I wanted 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.199 to ask you, man, because like I feel like there 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.320 was there's you know, you were I remember I think 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.320 the I want to say, the last time I might 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:50.600 have saw you live was with Logic in Orlando. Whatever 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.640 tour that was, Whatever Logic tour that was. Was that 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.560 for a second album? I think under pressures for his 0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:01.560 first album. Yeah, but I'm curious, Like, no, U incredible 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.320 it was the truth story, yeah, in incredible truth. But 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.080 I'm curious, man, because like you've obviously done records with 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.080 some of the biggest artists in the world, and like 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.520 with the Funk Volume thing imploding and then you having 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.600 to kind of figure this out for yourself moving forward. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.440 I'm sure you could have at that point in time 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.640 probably gotten a deal if you wanted one, and did 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.960 the major label thing, which would have been new to 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.200 you kind of right, but you decided to kind of 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.520 just hunker down and stick to the independent shit. Like 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.800 why why that as opposed to you know, trying to 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.960 go get a deal with Atlantic or whoever the fuck? Yeah, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.120 because I like, I don't have that. Sometimes I feel 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.760 like I don't have the same desires as some of 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.520 these other artists, Like I don't really want it all 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.880 too fast. Getting it all too fast kind of makes 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.320 me nervous. I grew up with the bare minimum, so 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.400 I feel like I know how to maneuver off of 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.040 what feels to me like a lot right now. Even 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.120 in the independent game, I feel like the love of 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.320 the traveling to being able to create the music, it's 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.160 what I want to do, being able to work with 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.600 different artists, and like having a range, a wide range 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.840 of like sounds that I can tap in with different people. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.800 And I just feel like this is what I want it. 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.920 You know, it don't It's not as glamorous from the 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.760 outside looking then, But you know, I make good money, 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.760 I own my masters, you know. I'm intact with my soul, 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.000 my spirit, you know, and I do what I want. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:30.800 You know. I can move in my own pace, Like 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.600 if something is something don't feel right, I could pull 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.440 the plug, you know. But I can also take chances, 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.439 you know, I can, Like I like being in control 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.040 of when I can when I want to, like maybe 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.120 take a chance, go out on the edge. A little 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.000 bit and just that kind of like slow paced grind. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:52.800 So I've always been I guess like content bro with 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.080 being independent and watching it grow slowly and just every 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.960 year is something new, whether it's the strains getting more strained, 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.680 or it's the store and people coming out to the store. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.400 I just see like if you just slowly keep pushing 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.640 at something, she would just keep unfolding. You know. I 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:14.000 was gonna say, like everyone has their own success is 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.719 and always we look at this music industry and it's 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.280 so superficial, right. It's like people will look at you 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.080 and be like, ah, man, like, well you ain't. You 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.720 ain't doing what this person's doing and this person's doing. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:31.800 But I think success for everyone and happiness is subjective. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.760 You don't absolutely for a fact. And if you think 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.560 about it, a lot of the stuff with some of 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.040 these you know, some artists that are signed, you know, 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.719 it don't when the curtain closed, it look a lot 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.400 different backstage and it looks in front of stage, you know. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.320 I mean, so it's it's like whatever you feel comfortable with, 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.560 do you always Sometimes those people don't have the right 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.120 control something. A lot of times they don't have the money, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.600 you know, you're taking money. You owe people a lot 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.520 of money. You know, the stakes are higher, you know, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.360 so everybody's in your business trying to tell you what 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.160 to do and what not to do. And it just 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.760 depends on how you want to do this music thing. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.640 You know. The cool shit is like you able to 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.360 do it. It's big enough. The pool is big enough 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.400 for people to do it every which way to get 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.680 to it. And at the end of the day, you know, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.320 it's your legacy you leave them behind. And how many 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.040 people you're gonna have involved with it? Yeah? Demmrick like you, 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.200 you've been around some of the more legendary I mean 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:34.080 obviously Cypress Hill, you know, Exhibit, serial Killer, Shit Dizzy 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.680 and shout out TDJ Hopper too. Man. I feel like 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.040 every time I see Diszey, I usually se DJ Hopper right, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.520 shout out to hop Man. Just put a new album 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.840 out too, hop in Friends part too, So go support 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.960 that man. That's the homie right there. But what I mean, shit, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.560 you were just telling me like serial Killers Force coming, Yeah, 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.160 fourth project man with dudes that I you know, shout 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.520 out Exhibit and be Real. It's like I just remember 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.040 wanting to rap for be real and just wanted to 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.000 just get into I was hoping that maybe I could 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.520 get into the studio with him and and do some 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.800 songs with him, to being on tour with them, to 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.520 travel into even tapping into uh, introducing me to the 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.040 songwriting or the or the touring and and all of 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.400 that type of stuff, and then actually being able to 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.440 loop it all the way around to being in a 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:27.920 group with them and four projects later. That's crazy. It's 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.800 crazy who you said, but the four like you a 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.440 doctor Dre might be touching something on the project. I mean, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.320 you know, I we'll let that unfold when it when 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.840 it folks. But I'll tell you this, maybe twisting some knobs. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.480 You know, we shall we shall, we shall see.

Like a lot of people be like, well, 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.440 what happened to Exhibit? But like Exhibit is a boss 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.320 on some other ship. He got his alcohol shit and 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.320 his weed shit is out of here, like, and he 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.440 definitely did the movies and the television and just shot 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.320 the Triple X State whatever Triple X he was in 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.320 with all of these Cube State of the Union. I 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.480 definitely learned a lot from him, just on how to 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.560 like move through the game and just you gotta be 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.960 confident and get into it. And he's you know, both 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.120 him and be Real also taught me about diversifying and 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.080 having multiple different things and even Dizzy Dizzey's killing it. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.400 By the way, we're gonna get to the guy damn 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.040 the dizzy o G.

We got Stony Point with Hapa 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.160 selling and the stores in Vegas. So it's like diversifying 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.240 and tapping into these different uh, just these different markets 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.960 that are natural to what you do. What you do 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.520 is is a big part of it. It's like, I've 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.639 been doing this shit already for a long time, so 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.919 it's just about doing it on on the next level 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.600 and trying to make sure that now you're putting a 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.119 stamp on it so that other people could try what 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.320 you think is fired. Yeah, I wanted Dizzey, I wanted 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:40.840 you to kind of give me some insight on like 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.040 on the on the weed side of ship, right because 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.840 you got your your strain that's doing really well. I 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:52.560 feel like I see a lot of dispensaries. I know 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.840 it's an azy, I know it's I mean it's everywhere. 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.080 What because I don't think a lot of people understand 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.920 how how the weed shit works like legally yet still 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.600 it's still kind of like wait what like so for you. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.600 Is it like they're licensing your name? Is it another 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.200 company you're working with? Like how hands honor you with 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:17.880 the strain and the actual brand and the actual weeders, 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.600 because you know a lot of times people will just 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.359 like license your likeliness for whatever. The fuck? Right is it? Like? 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.520 What is that? It's similar to that. Yeah, it's pretty 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.080 much like that where they're license and my name and 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.040 my face pretty much. But back in two thousand, I 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:38.399 think it was thirteen or fourteen, I was hands on 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.359 deck with like helping create the strain, you know, finding 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.280 the right strain. They were crossing a lot of different 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.399 strains to try to find what would be the diz Og. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.679 So shout out the Crown Genetics because the Crown Og 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.639 and the King Louis is the cross that we use 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.600 to get diz og. And it's been that way ever since. 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:02.560 You know, we knew back then that we was futuristic. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.840 You know, it felt like it was just strong as 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.879 fuck potent and it was like the next level of weeds. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.840 So we knew that it would it would it would 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.359 live for a long time. So Dizzy o G has 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.160 been doing really great and now we got the cookies. 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.440 Now we're doing Dizzey cookies. Okay's my first train of cookies. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.639 So we tapping into something like that around here, starting 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.720 in California. So I'm excited, man, Just taking of the 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.040 day at a time, not moving too fast, you know, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.960 and really trying to build the brand. You know, my 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.239 face is on it, like your face is on it, 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.480 you know, being able to walk in the dispensary and 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.920 see my smiling face.

I don't know where you're at 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.240 with the situation, but I had a conversation with Dame 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:00.640 and him and Hopson are back kosher. Yeah, they're back talking. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.560 There might be something happening between them two, not necessarily music, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:10.080 but something which I never thought would ever happened. Me 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:11.879 and you, I mean, obviously you're really close to the situation, 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.320 but you know, I mean, you guys are my guys 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.439 and Dames. You know, I've had a good relationship with 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:16.840 Dame for a long time, and I thought that that 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.320 was like when he called me and told me that 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.800 they were called was like You're for real the fuck now, 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.399 I had asked him, like, so, does this mean the 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.760 gang is getting back together? Now? This was like a 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.720
