Speaker 5: My age. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: My era and uh ay Man and I guess, like
Speaker 1: I said, we did that ship.
Speaker 4: You damn right, you did it. Let's go back to
Speaker 4: the beginning case, go ahead. I want to go back
Speaker 4: to me being a kid in a church somewhere in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4: I want to say race sing, We'll sing Wisconsin, and
Speaker 4: we went to see Little Cedric and the Haley singer.
Speaker 4: Yes man, and I watched y'all run down the middle aisle.
Speaker 4: You didn't walk down the middle aisle. Oh yeah, for
Speaker 4: those of y'all who know anything about church, church folk,
Speaker 4: you don't go down the middle aisle. That is, that's forbidden.
Speaker 4: You don't walk down the middle church. Been going on
Speaker 4: the side.
Speaker 5: Next time I go to church, remember that.
Speaker 4: So the usher say, you know, sure you're seeing the
Speaker 4: ball like he does instructions for the middle hour. Not
Speaker 4: only did they come down the middle aisle, they ran
Speaker 4: down the middle aisle to assault the injury Jojo had
Speaker 4: a ball head and ear rings.
Speaker 3: We said, what in the worldly? What in the fleshy
Speaker 3: business is.
Speaker 1: Going on there?
Speaker 4: And y'all proceeded, for lack of a better term to
Speaker 4: talk about gospel music kick ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah man, we had to do that too, man, we
Speaker 1: did that. So how did that start? Give me Casey
Speaker 1: and the Hally say, go take me back to the beginning,
Speaker 1: at the beginning like this, Well, those you don't know
Speaker 1: it started out and Alltimore and Maryland our professional singing
Speaker 1: career study in Baltimore, and Maryland. My mom had a group,
Speaker 1: my dad had a group, and me and Joji would
Speaker 1: be around house singing all the time. They had a
Speaker 1: back in those days, they had a Friday night spade parties.
Speaker 1: Mama and the man had the spade party. I know
Speaker 1: y'all know about that. But anyway, when our uncles and
Speaker 1: non they'd be playing spades and all that, me and
Speaker 1: Jojo will be in the bed sleep with it. Used
Speaker 1: they thought we were, but we can hear everything that's
Speaker 1: going on there. But one or two every Friday night
Speaker 1: and my uncles and they are juiced up now, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So they want to hit the
Speaker 1: little boys sing. So Mama would wake us up, like
Speaker 1: it'd be like one sometimes two in the morning, wake
Speaker 1: us up, turn our favorite gospel group on, which was
Speaker 1: the Gospel Keynotes at the time. You and me and
Speaker 1: Joe Joja would be Paul Beasley. I would be the
Speaker 1: lead singer, Willy Neil so and Willy Neil was the one,
Speaker 1: like the the aggressive one, the lead singer. So they
Speaker 1: would ask us to make us sing those songs. I
Speaker 1: remember one night I got bull headed, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I got bullheaded and it wont to sing. Man,
Speaker 1: So believe it or not, my mother, my mother a
Speaker 1: lover for doing this. Some people these days might ridicule
Speaker 1: her for doing it. But my mother she went upstairs,
Speaker 1: got her leather belt, leather belt, and man, that belt
Speaker 1: kept me singing today. She said, boy, if you don't
Speaker 1: go downstairs and sing them songs, but them people want
Speaker 1: you to sing and mine now they was giving me
Speaker 1: a jojo fifty cents to sing. She said, if you
Speaker 1: don't get your tail downstairs, she took that belt. Man,
Speaker 1: she used that belt to this day. I never been
Speaker 1: shame or shy to open my mouth to sing for nobody.
Speaker 1: So fast forward, like I said, my mother had a
Speaker 1: group from Baltimore Female group, and my father had had
Speaker 1: a male group in Baltimore Quartet. And my mama told
Speaker 1: my daddy, she said, I think you need to put
Speaker 1: centric in that group. That boy ready, That boy ain't ready,
Speaker 1: she said, he ready?
Speaker 5: She said, he ready.
Speaker 1: So she asked me, if you want to be in
Speaker 1: your daddy group.
Speaker 5: Man, yeah, I want to.
Speaker 1: Be in the group at eleven years old. Who wouldn't, yeah,
Speaker 1: eleven years old? Then, so my daddy let me in
Speaker 1: the group. I went to the couple of rehearsals and
Speaker 1: we did that first gospel you know back in the
Speaker 1: day call him programs. You know, we did a program.
Speaker 1: So when I did that, man and my uncle, which
Speaker 1: was the manager of my dad group, his uncle, so
Speaker 1: he told my daddy, oh, yeah, that's gonna be our
Speaker 1: little showstopper. Yeah, we're gonna keep him. So by that time,
Speaker 1: like I said, my mama had a group. She had
Speaker 1: to kill a band. So my mama told my daddy, look,
Speaker 1: I want to take him out your group and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get my band because there was more contemporary you know,
Speaker 1: all that players, young guys. She said, I want to
Speaker 1: take them out your group, and I'm gonna get rid
Speaker 1: of my band and let them play for Cedric. Mm hm.
Speaker 1: So dadd was like, we see how it is. I
Speaker 1: think the group my daddy group kind of figured what
Speaker 1: was going on. Cause for me, Daddy and Jojo got
Speaker 1: to rehearsal, believe it or our tank man, they had
Speaker 1: our papers waiting on us saying we fired.
Speaker 5: Oh y'all was getting kicked out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got kicked out when they found out that,
Speaker 1: you know, little Cedric and the Haley things was about.
Speaker 2: But did they kick you and George? They kick your
Speaker 2: daddy out here, and yeah, hold on you and your son, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You and your sons out the group just because of that.
Speaker 1: So my DAD'SID, okay, cool, we got this. They handed
Speaker 1: you papers. They handles papers a rehearsal when we walked in.
Speaker 5: That's crazy, you know.
Speaker 1: I cried like a baby man. Look eleven years old
Speaker 1: getting fired. Come on now, when something I love to
Speaker 1: you want to do. But though it was God's playing,
Speaker 1: of course it wasn't their plans. Because at the next day,
Speaker 1: here we are, my mom and dad telling me one
Speaker 1: of it. We got my Mama said Timmy. Then Timmy
Speaker 1: them gonna play for you now. So I'm like half
Speaker 1: because Timmy, though they was young, they was funky, you know,
Speaker 1: so I'm like cool. That was the birth a Little
Speaker 1: Cedric and the Haley Singers signed a gospel record label,
Speaker 1: which is Air Records. Now, so I got that deal
Speaker 1: twelve years old. Did our recording man and Little Cedric
Speaker 1: and Haley Singers blew up? I mean we blew up
Speaker 1: in the court TP Field man. I would like to

Speaker 1: we took the world by storm man. What Dre did
Speaker 1: by getting al in and like on some of the
Speaker 1: cuts co produced with Davante, what he did was put
Speaker 1: that picture in a frame.
Speaker 3: You give you what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's all he did. Put that picture in a fresh
Speaker 1: fe get that fine tune.
Speaker 3: Needs because.
Speaker 1: And then he had a night and day, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Then he already knew how to make records.
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you go Davante. He he knew
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing. He knew it. But like I said,
Speaker 1: you want to you know, you know, put that put
Speaker 1: a coat and put the lack on it. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that's all And that's what I'll I'll
Speaker 1: be dead and and all. And DeVante worked there. You know,
Speaker 1: they bumped head but of course they had that ego.
Speaker 1: But then he got you know, and he just had
Speaker 1: it like I gotta listen. We told her you gotta listen, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta listen to him.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: And I had.
Speaker 1: R exactly exactly and so and and then when Al
Speaker 1: came in with that mature lyric like mine. Now everybody
Speaker 1: think Ill wrote Forever my Lady? What all did Forever
Speaker 1: my Lady was already written. Fether Lady was already written before.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we had before we got a deal.
Speaker 1: What our diad was? He put that that version in.
Speaker 1: You know that that kind of messed by At first.
Speaker 1: It messed my head up. When it's so you're having
Speaker 1: my baby, We're like, whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 5: Whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 3: I wasn't ready to give him a baby yet.
Speaker 8: No, got my deal. I just got my deal, no
Speaker 8: child support. Why that's the way, And that's that's that.
Speaker 1: Really, y'all. That's what really, really, really, I think set
Speaker 1: us apart from a lot of younger.
Speaker 5: With nobody we're talking about.
Speaker 4: That nobody was saying. Nobody was saying, nobody was saying.
Speaker 4: I mean, they might have saying, they might have been saying,
Speaker 4: somebody's having my baby. Somebody might have been having a conversation,
Speaker 4: but they weren't saying right behind it, and it needs.
Speaker 2: So much to me, Yeah, ship nineteen when somebody having
Speaker 2: your baby, trying.
Speaker 4: To you're trying to figure sure, yeah, sure, sure, yeah,
Speaker 4: I saw what's it?
Speaker 1: Ain't computing?
Speaker 3: You know, y'all used to talk. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: don't mean that much to me.
Speaker 1: You don't mean that much. Befall the rest of the lyrics,
Speaker 1: Man Devon Penn is sick with the stay and come
Speaker 1: and talk to me, and that I'm still waiting, and
Speaker 1: that you and ies and my heart belongs to you,
Speaker 1: the feelings and the freaking us that that's all.
Speaker 4: D hold on, let's stop right here, let's let's stop
Speaker 4: right here. Okay, God to love his the streets got.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I don't know why they singing
Speaker 4: this hard on this up tempo, but I love it.
Speaker 3: I love it. And then what that Forever my ladies?
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, because there's a period where as new artists,
Speaker 4: you know, you're opening, you're doing venues, and maybe it's
Speaker 4: just you for a radio show, it's maybe two hundred people,
Speaker 4: three people. But there's gotta be a moment where when
Speaker 4: that Forever my Lady hits that you see the difference
Speaker 4: from that two hundred and this small radio shows and
Speaker 4: the openings to the venues getting at sure he's going
Speaker 4: to the thousands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you know you know where I'm going. I
Speaker 2: want to know what he bought, but I got come on, man,
Speaker 2: I want to know when.
Speaker 1: You first tore it? What what did I get? I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta. I gott a BMW, man, see what
Speaker 1: it was? I got a BMW Jojo gotta bm J
Speaker 1: Dialvin gotta be in w that damn de Vune. He
Speaker 1: brought her something crazy and they gotta.
Speaker 2: Lama, y'all be as cool.
Speaker 4: Man got to get the lamb on him.
Speaker 1: He just stop at one. You got like a couple
Speaker 1: of them, man. That was That was that was the
Speaker 1: first tour, the.
Speaker 3: First tour, man, Who's the first tour?
Speaker 1: First to Hammer MC Hammer and then and then and
Speaker 1: then we broke off from that and then we did
Speaker 1: on Jodicy tour which was jo Toasy and Mary and
Speaker 1: I think it was on that tour with us, I think,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to say Biggie, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to but did Yeah, I think it was Biggie. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were they was openness, yeah, Joasy, Yeah, man we
Speaker 1: Josey was that Joasy, We were that well.
Speaker 5: It was crazy.
Speaker 3: So give me, give me the give me the puff player.
Speaker 1: Oh when pop okay, give me. That goes back to
Speaker 1: when Puff was doing when Papa was intern. So Puff
Speaker 1: was like it was to the street. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you how I got in love.
Speaker 5: Came in and puffing as Dre.
Speaker 1: Yo. You told Dre said, Yo, you shouldn't because d
Speaker 1: was gonna come out the first single. He would come,
Speaker 1: come and talk to me forever, my lady. So Puff
Speaker 1: told him, no, Dre, don't do that. I want to
Speaker 1: do that. If I was you, I would put them
Speaker 1: out with God of Love that song God of Love man.
Speaker 1: So Dre like, why would you do that we didn't
Speaker 1: even want to do that, and why, he said, because
Speaker 1: the video concept could be like they could be dressed
Speaker 1: like you know, you know in the hood, you know,
Speaker 1: with the boots, the little thuggish or whatever. So that
Speaker 1: got of Love was set the world up, you know,
Speaker 1: because they didn't want Dre even said that, Dre really
Speaker 1: he really, he told us, I don't want y'all. We
Speaker 1: told Dre, we don't want like no boys to man,
Speaker 1: not no, you know, just some boys.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: We didn't want to We didn't want want it like that.
Speaker 1: Even Puffs said, yo, man, you don't want them like
Speaker 1: boys men in suits. You don't want them in suits, man,
Speaker 1: he said. Puff told us that, yo, man, when I
Speaker 1: see them, when I see them, man, I want to
Speaker 1: see them like four of my homeboys on the corner
Speaker 1: singing the girls and stuff like that, you know, on
Speaker 1: the stoop singing the girls.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: So Puff's I think you should come out with God
Speaker 1: of Love first and be like just have on it
Speaker 1: like some hip hop gear on. So I thought Puff's
Speaker 1: gonna get fired for that, man. But then after we
Speaker 1: heard what Puff I did was, yeah, Dre, I think
Speaker 1: we should go God to Love man. So God of
Speaker 1: Love work. And what it really did is set a
Speaker 1: tone so the world could see, Okay, you put everybody
Speaker 1: on this, Yeah, this is how they're gonna be looking. This,
Speaker 1: how they're gonna dress, they're gonna have on their boots,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have on their vests, chase in their baseball cap.
Speaker 1: So that really set the world up. But once again,
Speaker 1: I think you said it like when they when they
Speaker 1: saw sing from My Lady, they probably said, oh, that's
Speaker 1: that croup that got on the yellow and in that
Speaker 1: video with the boots and stuff. Okay, we get it,
Speaker 1: that's them, And that really set us apart from thumb
Speaker 1: Boys to men and whatever groups that was coming out
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 2: Which is genius stuff because most time in this business,
Speaker 2: and we all know this, we've been in this game
Speaker 2: a long time, when something works, everybody does the exact same.
Speaker 2: There you're going because it's.
Speaker 5: The cheek hode.
Speaker 1: It can get you, it can get you in, It
Speaker 1: can get you in.
Speaker 3: It might not keep you in.
Speaker 2: But for you guys to be the polar opposite made
Speaker 2: so much sense. Yeah, and for for Puff to be
Speaker 2: an intern at the time recognize that, Yeah, he was
Speaker 2: already showing that he was a.
Speaker 4: Taste maker and the other other genius in it too,
Speaker 4: in it being polar opposite is that now you're immediately
Speaker 4: in a conversation with some guys that are already selling
Speaker 4: millions of records. So it's like now it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: what's what's getting.
Speaker 3: Ready to happen? Yeah? Yeah, now it's two, ain't just one? There.
Speaker 4: We got some guys over here that they come in
Speaker 4: the bad became the bad Boys Army, so we got
Speaker 4: the good guys in the bad.
Speaker 3: Who who you want to go see? Right? Who you
Speaker 3: want to go see?
Speaker 5: That's great?
Speaker 2: And I'm a church kid, so like, so did you
Speaker 2: know of Obviously you knew.
Speaker 4: Of Little but I didn't know that Little Cedric and
Speaker 4: the Haley singers with your You didn't know that. Had
Speaker 4: no idea. I had no idea until I got out
Speaker 4: of high school and did some research and I was like, well,
Speaker 4: because I got you, I got your sets, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So once I made that connection, I said,
Speaker 4: that's why it makes so much sense to me. So
Speaker 4: for me, I started being Jo tosy in church. Okay,
Speaker 4: I started sounding like y'all in church. I would go
Speaker 4: to visiting churches and play and you know, add my
Speaker 4: divante cors and all that like this, you're like one
Speaker 4: man jodusyud, God bless you.
Speaker 1: Because because.
Speaker 4: As much as I loved boys to men who were
Speaker 4: you know, I mean ultimately just talented, just a freaking.
Speaker 1: Charge, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: I was drawn so much to that feeling that was
Speaker 4: so familiar to me. The core struct, the vocal arrangement,
Speaker 4: the arrangement and how that like I come from that,
Speaker 4: I come from courtet that you go Baptist kojic and
Speaker 4: I was like, that's in there.
Speaker 1: And we definitely coach it. That's in there, definitely coach it.
Speaker 1: So it it made my soul happy. Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to shout. I wanted to shouts came off. So y'all
Speaker 1: don't hear this, y'all don't want to lift no offering
Speaker 1: I got if you change a few some words, if
Speaker 1: you change words our song, guys.
Speaker 3: Talk to the law.
Speaker 1: You can have an altar call, yeah, can instrumental.
Speaker 3: You can. Let me ask you a question, did the
Speaker 3: commission have any.
Speaker 1: Most definitely commission the whinings and then you know, and
Speaker 1: I had my quartet groups. You know, the gospel, keynotes,
Speaker 1: the volunteers, you name, the quartest man, I was a
Speaker 1: hardcore quartet. But then like in the late eighties, I
Speaker 1: started listening to like, like I said, Commission in the Whinings,
Speaker 1: you know those cats Clark Sisters, you know, And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: and that's what we did. But think about it. When
Speaker 1: we got an R and B, when we got in
Speaker 1: RB Man, we were. However, Jose's you really really really
Speaker 1: got our sound. Jojo was the deal in Babyface fanatic.
Speaker 1: M m okay listen the late the late nineties, I mean,
Speaker 1: Davante was fanatics of God.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: So what we do is if Joe to sleeping in
Speaker 1: one room, this is not my mom house. Now, Joe
Speaker 1: to sleep in one room, He'll go to sleep with
Speaker 1: all Babyface in the in the Deal stopped playing in
Speaker 1: his cassette player, I mean Avante in another room. We're
Speaker 1: going to sleep listening to Teddy, Teddy and er. So
Speaker 1: I'm in the vante like, okay, I'm doing Teddy, I'm
Speaker 1: doing Teddy.
Speaker 5: Ship. You just some a ship mm hmm. Okay, so
Speaker 5: this is all late ladies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what we did we combined the wines commission guy
Speaker 1: in the deal and the deal.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it all makes sense.
Speaker 1: And then we made and plus we had of course
Speaker 1: we had Jodasy.
Speaker 5: It was so aggressed. Yeah, if you can hear it, man.
Speaker 4: It was like I tell people all the time. Everybody's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's you hit him, jousy army.
Speaker 5: I said, yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 2: But that's your way of saying, you don't here, you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't because it's just nice to me. I'll be like,
Speaker 3: this ain't no jous.
Speaker 4: Here's here's two things right, because it's it's too two things.
Speaker 4: First of all, you can try the arrangement, right, but
Speaker 4: the but the vocal, the casey and and Jojos vocal
Speaker 4: are so distinctive that she'll never you'll never have that
Speaker 4: combination of tone make it what it is. And two,
Speaker 4: the misconception of anybody, from groups to anybody trying to
Speaker 4: be Joalasy is that they confuse.
Speaker 5: The fashion with the music. With the music.
Speaker 2: Y'all was making love, man, y'all screaming. Start treat them
Speaker 2: like they're supposed to be treating y'all are screaming that though,
Speaker 2: screaming that screaming forever, my lady screaming stay.
Speaker 5: Those are all love to know.
Speaker 1: What that's stay church, that's coach.
Speaker 4: That sounds like sometimes yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the way we stack our stuff.
Speaker 3: How many stack give me the stacks?
Speaker 5: Come on?
Speaker 4: Give me because y'all on the on the board, y'all
Speaker 4: on tape, y'all on real too, y'all y'all using the
Speaker 4: whole y'all using.
Speaker 2: To man flying over No nah nah, I want to say,
Speaker 2: on one note, give me how many how many times
Speaker 2: you stacked one note?
Speaker 1: One note?
Speaker 3: One note?
Speaker 1: The melody Davante will have a stack.
Speaker 5: On one note.
Speaker 1: The least man this might sound crazy, Man Davante would
Speaker 1: have us clus to ten.
Speaker 5: Ten stacks on one note.
Speaker 4: I believe every word you sing. I believe every word
Speaker 4: you were saying, yeah, yeah, say.
Speaker 2: About during y'all stacks? Are y'all trying to match the note?
Speaker 2: Are y'all just singing it with a different feel every time?
Speaker 2: Because that's the other thing.
Speaker 5: People go in.
Speaker 2: And you stacking, stack and stacking, and you're trying to
Speaker 2: make all the notes sound identical.
Speaker 1: But sometimes we'll be like we'll do like, uh, we
Speaker 1: do like five, Like tonight we do like five.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The sixth times other to know, you know, just.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very yeah, yeah, yeah, so it just feeling those yeah,
Speaker 4: those sonic holes and panem PanAm all. You know, I
Speaker 4: ain't stacking enough, That's what he's just saying. You're not
Speaker 4: stacking enough enough. Stacks, you gotta stack. Ain't no ass
Speaker 4: on your background, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: As far as as far as.
Speaker 1: Harmonies arrangements, see DeVante plays chords all five fingers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we gotta, man, Jojo gotta sing every note every
Speaker 1: that he's playing ship and then Jojo going there. He's
Speaker 1: that's one thing about Jojo. He's so creative. Jojo just
Speaker 1: dropped something in there. Even when we record, he'll just
Speaker 1: drop something something for you fall off, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: keep that and yeah, keep doing next thing.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: That's a harmony. Yeah, and that's a harmony.
Speaker 1: So you know, man, sometimes we have like what some
Speaker 1: people lose, use five part harmonies. Man, we'll we'll make
Speaker 1: it away. We can use six or seven absolutely, because
Speaker 1: like mine, now we got the regulars, we got the
Speaker 1: regular notes. Now mine, Davante gonna play five chords. You know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna play five chords on the harmonies and then
Speaker 1: like I said, the extra stuff that Jojo would do,
Speaker 1: and you know that that it's just you gotta be
Speaker 1: in one of our sessions. Man, you'll be like, whoa.
Speaker 4: You know, the first time I got a I gotta
Speaker 4: just maybe even a slight glimpse of it was working Virginiaine. Okay, okay,
Speaker 4: he will know he came from that school and I
Speaker 4: watched him.
Speaker 1: Stack stack stacks.
Speaker 4: He got different d and he was like he was like.
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, you're doing the same
Speaker 4: note again. He said, Nah, I'm doing it a little
Speaker 4: different this time. Watch when I watch what I do
Speaker 4: at the end, I'm like, oh, okay, okay, he said,
Speaker 4: all right, now give me, give me, give me three
Speaker 4: more of a whispered ease.
Speaker 5: Should I just tell you that? Yeah, what are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The whole thing before you came from the school absolutely
