00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: So we were at Summer smash here in Chicago, which

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: you should play next year.

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: If you haven't played it, that would be insane.

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: But north was there, which is so funny that you

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: just said that, And so we saw her there and

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: literally we drove on a golf cart pass. I was like,

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: that was freaking Northwest, Like miss Westy is here, Like

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: that's insane. That just made me like it just like

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: came rushing back to me that I was the same,

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: like in the same air as Northwest.

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: But welcome. How are you today?

20
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'm doing aesthetic. I'm so exciting and

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: I'm just breaking the sign up.

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: A great time.

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god, I love your energy and your

24
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: music is everything. It is everything that I want from

25
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: like hip hop right now, Like it's feel good vibes,

26
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: but you're also you're talking your shit and you're.

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: Just doing what you need to be doing.

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: I want to just sort of go back a little

29
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: bit because I think Piano Tiles is a song like

30
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: everyone is hearing right now and it's on everyone's for

31
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: you page and everyone is streaming it. But before all

32
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: of that, like, what sort of made you start doing

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: hip hop?

34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Like did you had you been doing this a minute?

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: Did you? Was it always like you'renating you?

36
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Or was there a turning point that you were like

37
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: I want to do this, Like what made you sort

38
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: of getting this lane?

39
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 4: You know what, I've always been interested in music. I

40
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: used to like during quarantine was like everyone's in a house,

41
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: so I just kind of felt myself, you know, just

42
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: making reps with my friends online and stuff like that.

43
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: But it really came when I graduated high school. I'm like,

44
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm going to college in LA for acting,

45
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: and I pursued something on the side. So I was

46
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: in the summertime just making freestyle songs and rapping on

47
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: TikTok live and the girls is liking it. So I

48
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: pursue my dream and I'll drop the EP. When I

49
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: was in college and it was ever since.

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's nuts. So you wanted to do acting?

51
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: You still want to do that?

52
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Have you done any of that?

53
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: Honestly?

54
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: Acting is like my really I really want to act,

55
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: really really bad. But I'm so one on like my music.

56
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: I'm just like, look at a rapper girl, and I'm

57
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: just really to take over the world.

58
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: Yes, And you're gonna do it one way or another.

59
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: You could take take it over music and acting because

60
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: you're hilarious and just I just think you're so entertaining

61
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: that I could definitely see that happening. So are you

62
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: in La right now or where are you?

63
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: I'm not in La right now. I'm actually Ohio right now?

64
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: Oh Ohio?

65
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I see Taylor and Travis are supposedly buying

66
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 2: a house there.

67
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: Taylor, Travisty me.

68
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: I love it. Little Thanksgiving I live.

69
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: I love you so much.

70
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: So I want to talk a little bit about piano Tyles, okay,

71
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: because like I said, that is the Bob, that is

72
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: the song in the summer, that is what I can't

73
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: open my TikTok app without hearing that song, which I

74
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: am obsessed with I love, and that would make me

75
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: sort of like dive into the rest of your music.

76
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: So I want to just talk.

77
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: About what did it feel like to I always envisioned

78
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: like when a song like pops up overnight like this

79
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: on TikTok, Like you open your app one day and

80
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: you're like.

81
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Holy shit, look at.

82
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: All of these people using it and dancing and making

83
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: their own videos, Like what does.

84
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: That feel like? That'd be such a cool feeling.

85
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: No, it's definitely surprising.

86
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: It's so like it's fun, Like it's just really it's

87
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: so fun to happen to see because I mean, I

88
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: dropped this song like it was on my project. It

89
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: got leaked last year and I couldn't even have it

90
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: last year. So I'm like, you know what, it's been here,

91
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put it out on my album. It's been

92
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: like four months. I'm like, whoa, it started going up

93
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: out of nowhere. I'm like, I'm so I'm overall blessed.

94
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 4: But it was just so crazy and just so like,

95
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: you know, just a ghost star for me.

96
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just nuts.

97
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: Because then I feel like I want to talk a

98
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: little bit about like the social media of it all,

99
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: because I feel like there's like a really bad side

100
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: to it, but then there's a really good side. And

101
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: I think the really good side is like artists like

102
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: you who should deserve the recognition and people hear your music,

103
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: like it allows your music to be amplified in a

104
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 2: way that wasn't possible like five, six.

105
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Seven years ago.

106
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: What is that experience like to be able to like

107
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: connect directly with your fans and you're independent, right, So

108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: it's like you don't have a major label pushing you know,

109
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: you don't have you know, all the people working radio

110
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: and all the shit that they do with them, which

111
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: you don't even need anymore, right because your showing that

112
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: you have the streams, you have the fans, you have

113
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: the listeners whatever. What I guess is it really important

114
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: to you to like stay independent or how do you

115
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: sort of see that going? Because you're crushing it as

116
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: is and you can tell that you are authentic and

117
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: you get to pick what you want and look how

118
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: you want things to look, and release things the way

119
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: you want them to talk a little bit about that.

120
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: You know, one thing I preach is be yourself or

121
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: nobody will. I feel like everyone else, like everyone else

122
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: is taken, you know, like it's nothing else to be yourself.

123
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: And I just really love the world build.

124
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: And I love being personal and having all authenticity but

125
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 4: being genuine as well, like having like my close supporters,

126
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: even though ones that been knew me from when I

127
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: dropped my first EP, they're still around and they're like like, oh,

128
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: I knew all money before that, and I it's like love.

129
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: I just love that cause it's like y'all are loyal

130
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: to me. I'm lower to y'all. And it's just really

131
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: a fun experience when it's about the hate though, like

132
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 4: of course this is like the most hate, like hey

133
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: ever got in, but also it's the most love I've

134
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: ever got.

135
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: In, you know, Like it's.

136
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: A community, and I was in a community I'm introduced

137
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: to I didn't know nothing about, you know, when it

138
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: came to the trends of animation and our culture, I

139
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: was always surrounded by your well, I was never indulged

140
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: in it. So it's like what I got, you know,

141
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: my music, my art to their art. It's like a

142
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: whole different space. And it was just like a one

143
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: time and meeting so many new people and people are

144
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: so many, it's a different thing. So I'm just so

145
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 4: exciting and everything is just it's just a whole bunch

146
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: of love. So I know, hey, y'all can put away

147
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, I'm give hey, I shall,

148
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: I shall love.

149
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: But sometimes when people need to be clocked, they need

150
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: to be clocked.

151
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: Speak up and speak out always you drive voice like

152
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: I'll speak up and speak out, like.

153
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: Yes, how do you I love that you sort of

154
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: like turn from you know, you're focusing Yeah, like I

155
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: get bad comments right now then, but the love, like

156
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: really focusing in on that? Is that sort of how

157
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: you compartmentalize because I can for a small time, like

158
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: we've had some videos that we've done tiktoks or whatever

159
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: go viral, and it's so hard because I'm in the

160
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: comments like all this person says about me or this

161
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: person like blah blah blah, you know, and it's like

162
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: it's really hard to.

163
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: Focus on that.

164
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: How do you sort of, I guess, compartmentalize it to

165
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: be like Okay, I need we're going to keep it positive,

166
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: We're going to focus on this when it's.

167
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: So hard to do it sometimes, you.

168
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, honestly, I count my blessings, you know, I

169
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: count what's here because it was a day where I

170
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: was getting two streams. It was a day where I

171
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: was depressed and I'm just trying to be someone that

172
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: I wasn't. I was in a really bad hasdspace with

173
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: like when my first like ever album, I have an

174
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: album called America's Next out Rapper and my most personal

175
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: album because a lot of things went down, I made

176
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: a whole documentary about it and stuff, and I was

177
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: like really going through it. I was trying to be

178
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: someone I wasn't, and when I realized that that's not

179
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: going to give me nowhere, Like I'm not doing it

180
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: for them. I have to do it for me. And

181
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: if you try to cater to everyone, you cater to

182
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: no one like you don't. It's not there. So I'm like, ya,

183
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: what I count what's here? Because one day it can

184
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: all be gone. And it was a day where I

185
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: was wishing like I had that, Like I was wishing

186
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: like I had a million views on YouTube. But at

187
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: the end of the day, like I'm so humble and

188
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: I'm just so blessed. I just can't wait to go

189
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: up for more. And I don't really care when it

190
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: comes to other people else because my path is my path.

191
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: And Ika years, five years, two days. I'm gonna get

192
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: you where needs to go.

193
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and someone that's a fan too, I can tell

194
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: you because now.

195
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm your fan. You know.

196
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: It makes people like me want to uplift you and

197
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: want to be like, okay, like this is someone that

198
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: deserves it because you're hustling, your grinding, you're doing what

199
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: you need to do and it's coming off as authentic

200
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: and it's what you want to do and it's your

201
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: voice and you're working hard for it. So I think

202
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: like once you reach that point where you're like, holy shit,

203
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm playing stadiums right, You're gonna look back and be like,

204
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm really fucking proud about how I did that because

205
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: it feels so much better versus the opposite way where

206
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: sometimes people just get.

207
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: Handed to them or it's a way easier road, you know.

208
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's awesome.

209
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about like your

210
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: inspirations because for me, and I'm probably i'm older than you,

211
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: but for me, a lot of your visuals and a

212
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: lot of your music takes me back to that time

213
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: where I used to like go on people's pages on

214
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: MySpace and like the early two thousands and like discover

215
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: music or whatever. Is that sort of like the vibe

216
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: of like when you're looking at that type when you're

217
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: either when you're doing a photo shoot or visuals or

218
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: something or whatever, like it's very two thousands? Was that

219
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: was that the intention or where do you sort of

220
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: pull inspiration from that from?

221
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm gonna be honest, I am a gamer. So

222
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: one my first ever game to ever play was just

223
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: Dance and that's how how I kind.

224
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: Of like dip my funt into music. That's what my

225
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: music like.

226
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: You know, back then I didn't really have like no

227
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: the Spotify d da da I had, Yeah.

228
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: So that was the music I was listening to, so

229
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: we can.

230
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Rihanna umbrellas you know to call me babies.

231
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: I'm so obsessed with that sound, that look, and like

232
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: that aesthetic of that. I'm like, yeah, I just love

233
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: to live by that because it was a once upon

234
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: a time where again not not even in my music,

235
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 4: but in my real life I couldn't be who I

236
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: was because you were around and you know, just being

237
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: like so young and knowing who you were, people were

238
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: afraid of that. So you know, now I'm older and

239
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 4: I'm able to live in my truth and I'm able

240
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: to just exemplify that and put that out in my art.

241
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: And I just love that because it kills me inside

242
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: and it can be also healing someone else, So you

243
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: know what I can do for somebody else.

244
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: But the twenty the early twenty hands, the late.

245
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: Two thousands, Yeah, I'm just I'm just experience it for

246
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: the like as an adult now, like yeah, I didn't

247
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 4: really know, so now it's like whoa, yeah, like y'all.

248
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: Was right, we had some good ship going on. There's

249
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: some ship that can stay back there, but we had

250
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: some good ship going yeah, second right exactly. And I

251
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: actually thought of you over the weekend because we were

252
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: at Lollapalooza and her backup Black was playing.

253
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you are familiar with her or

254
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: remember her. I love her.

255
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: No, yes, that was yeah saying guys.

256
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: So now she's like this hyper pop like DJ, and

257
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh shit, like herself was insane and I

258
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: was like I literally thought, I was like, oh my god,

259
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: and ARMANI Rebecca Black collab would be absolutely insane. So

260
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: I'm manifesting that, like I need that for you because

261
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: I feel like when you guys would link up like

262
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: that would be insane. Like I think like you with

263
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: that hyper pop like that Charlie XX made really famous recently,

264
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: or like Addison Ray like whatever, that's so like you're

265
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: like like that would be so iconic.

266
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: I'm actually upssed with hyper pop right now.

267
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm upset.

268
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, icons Like it's everything.

269
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: So I dove into your album a little bit. The

270
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: last one that came out earlier this year, right Mania

271
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: and I have to shout out a Fame was like

272
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: literally a standout for me, like the bars, the production,

273
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: like that beat, Like I was like, holy shit, I

274
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: have to ask her about this because this song is everything.

275
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: And just like your production too, I think like most

276
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: of the songs they've done, all these songs they listen to,

277
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: like there's it's so intricate about like not only are

278
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: your your versus like amazing, but then like I just

279
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: love when there's like little sounds and like stuff in

280
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: the back to like make it a full experience.

281
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: Like so when you write a new song.

282
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: Like are you really focused on like the production first

283
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: or the writing first? Because I feel like both are

284
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: so intricate. So how do you go like or does

285
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: every sort of situation against different.

286
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: You know what when it comes to like songwriting, cause

287
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 4: I'm not like a punch in tipe rapper when it

288
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 4: comes to them type of rappers, I feel like there's

289
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: two types of rappers, the ones.

290
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: That write the ones to like punch in.

291
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm such a writer, like I used to write

292
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: why pip fictions, Like I'll that type of girl. What

293
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: I love to write, and I learned how to write

294
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 4: music and I'm just so focused on like what I'm

295
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: saying my bars like first and foremost, but I always

296
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: listen to to be beforehand of course, and I like

297
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: to just play a puzzle.

298
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: It's like a puzzle to me.

299
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 4: It's like, let me see when I say a word

300
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: like this, how does it sound on the beat that

301
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 4: you just piece it up and move some things around,

302
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 4: you know, it's the whole things. So honestly, it just

303
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 4: collapsed and it goes into into my eyes.

304
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: And then I do want to shout out Danny Phantom

305
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: that song because I was like this, this is a

306
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: pop song like this literally like we would play that.

307
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: I was like, this is getting obsessed.

308
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god. Immediately adding it to my favorites. Okay,

Speaker 2: so I want to Piano Tiles. You have a remix out. Now,

310
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: how did that all come about with the collapse and

311
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: and what made you decide to work with these artists

312
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: to sort of take that song to the next level.

313
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,040
