Speaker 1: we had like you know, there was like the Heat
Speaker 1: Makers and the Dipset Shit or Timberland. And you've had
Speaker 1: like a nice eight nine year run now. Uh, I'll
Speaker 1: say about like five six years. Like I've been making
Speaker 1: beats for ten years so well, because like what the
Speaker 1: first Migo shit that you were a part of it
Speaker 1: was twenty four. I mean that was like eight years ago. Goddamn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we're kind of in the Murder Beats decade
Speaker 1: here kind of. Yeah, man, it's kind of crazy. Well,
Speaker 1: welcome man. Yeah, I feel like it's long overdue. Shout
Speaker 1: out to the new record with Wale and Blast. Kind
Speaker 1: of like a different type of vibe for you as
Speaker 1: far as like just what we're used to hearing, like
Speaker 1: a Murder Beats tag on what was your inspiration? Obously
Speaker 1: you're out here in La so I'm sure I mean
Speaker 1: you hear Blast every Yeah I do. I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of Blast, you know what I'm saying. So I was
Speaker 1: actually six months ago, I was in Miami working with
Speaker 1: Rick Ross. We were at Circle House. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I love Circle House. Yeah. So I was
Speaker 1: cooking up some shit kind of the beat. The record
Speaker 1: kind of sounds like a Miami tropic hood does kind
Speaker 1: of sound like a feel good record. So someone was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you want to meet Blast. I was like, yeah, bring
Speaker 1: him in the studio. He came in the studio and
Speaker 1: I met him. I like pulled up that beat. He
Speaker 1: banged it out quick. I was like, this shit fire
Speaker 1: and then Walle was in the other room. I went
Speaker 1: and grab all A. He wrote his verse, did it quick.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, man, I'm taking this one. Wow.
Speaker 1: All in Miami, Yeah, wow, crazy, Like one day shout
Speaker 1: out to Circle House for people who don't know, it's
Speaker 1: like a house in a neighborhood in Miami. Circle House
Speaker 1: that's like a renowned studio that you would never even
Speaker 1: know was there if you never know normal ass Like
Speaker 1: it's just a it's like a really nice house with
Speaker 1: studios in it. Yeah, it's literally just like a normal
Speaker 1: crib and like a normal neighborhood. And you know, how
Speaker 1: did you Okay? So like you kind of obviously got
Speaker 1: introduced in the game, at least from my understanding. When
Speaker 1: I first started hearing you was through the Migos. What
Speaker 1: was your initial introduction with them? Being a kid from
Speaker 1: Canada being it at that time the Migos were active
Speaker 1: out here because I lived in Tampa when the Migos
Speaker 1: started to pop and them, dudes, was they was really
Speaker 1: out here. They were really out here, do mad shows,
Speaker 1: had their mcm bags on, fucking shootouts and ship all
Speaker 1: kinds of crazy shit was popping off. But how did this?
Speaker 1: How did those two worlds connect? So I just connected
Speaker 1: with them on Twitter like that. I was hitting up
Speaker 1: everyone on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, I was just hitting people up.
Speaker 1: So I just like hit up one of their boys.
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, play play some of the play
Speaker 1: some of my beats for them, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: give you some beats to rap on. At the time,
Speaker 1: this guy wasn't even rapping. He was like, I'm actually
Speaker 1: engineering them, So send the pack. I sent the pack
Speaker 1: and then from there, you know what I'm saying, that easy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy because nowadays way harder to do that. Think
Speaker 1: about like dming someone like, no one's gonna check your DM.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. That's where like people always ask me for
Speaker 1: advice and stuff. I'm like, I don't even know what
Speaker 1: kind of advice give somebody, because what worked for me,
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard to work for someone else.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, like there wasn't a lot of
Speaker 1: people trying to be a producer. It wasn't cool to
Speaker 1: be in music. It was very like unrealistic, so everyone
Speaker 1: kind of like stayed away from it. So like, but
Speaker 1: like with the Internet and how the Internet was working
Speaker 1: and stuff, I used that to my advantage because like
Speaker 1: I was just a kid from Canada. I'm from a
Speaker 1: town of thirty thousand people, like what part of Canada, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm from like Niagara region, So it's like, yeah, just
Speaker 1: outside of Niagara Fall. While you're a Buffalo fan, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There we go. So like I
Speaker 1: was like, I grew up on the border of Buffalo
Speaker 1: and a small town thirty thousand people. So I've been
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. It's a pretty fucking wild place. It is
Speaker 1: pretty wild. I'm not gonna lie. It's very like when
Speaker 1: I went there and like hung out with Conway and
Speaker 1: uh and Westside Gun and I was like I get
Speaker 1: it now, I get why you guys are real shit
Speaker 1: rap about the shit you wrap about, because that shit
Speaker 1: looked like it's like the it's the poorest part of America.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, when I think of Cleveland in
Speaker 1: my head, and then I went to Buffalo. I've never
Speaker 1: been to Cleveland, but I was like, this is what
Speaker 1: I'm when I think of Cleveland, I think of this,
Speaker 1: but it's Buffalo. So when I first started going to Chicago,
Speaker 1: I was like, and we were in the wild one hundreds,
Speaker 1: the South sidn all like these crazy plays you be
Speaker 1: hearing about. I'm like, this shit looks just like Buffalo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Buffalo's crazy. So I went back to Buffalo like damn,
Speaker 1: like you know, but funny story about Conway and them,
Speaker 1: I was like, I used to go to Buffalo first,
Speaker 1: trying to like go to America, get my get my producer,
Speaker 1: sit up, you know what I'm saying. I used to
Speaker 1: go pull up on them, and I pulled up on
Speaker 1: Conway in the studio one day and his boy tried
Speaker 1: to buy my drums on me for like fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: I remember, just just like like your file of drum
Speaker 1: like I was just playing. Be's like your drums are hard, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's like, can I buy him like, I'm like, shit,
Speaker 1: I'm watching like fifty bucks. I'm like no, not even
Speaker 1: like two fifties, like one's seventy five or some shot
Speaker 1: like was it Darrenger? Nah? I think it was DJ
Speaker 1: sha rip Oh shout out to DJ Shay rest in peace. Man,
Speaker 1: Shae's a legend for sure. It's crazy, Yo, that's wild.
Speaker 1: Did you ever end up having any records with Conway
Speaker 1: or Ben or any of those guys? Yeah? I did.
Speaker 1: I did a record on Kanye on Conway's last album,
Speaker 1: Oh you did, that's right, called Anzia Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So and that was just because like I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta do some shit. We still got to do
Speaker 1: more shit, like just Finny all these guys just for
Speaker 1: the region God to do some shit. It's so crazy too,
Speaker 1: because being on the Canada side of that border, it's
Speaker 1: a lot easier for you to go back and forth.
Speaker 1: I got people who are like, you know, some of
Speaker 1: some of the homies who are part of BSF for
Speaker 1: or Garzlle, They're like, man, we've lived in Buffalo our
Speaker 1: whole lives, and we can't even go to fucking Canada.
Speaker 1: We've never even been into Canada. Yeah, that's probably because
Speaker 1: they you know, they got felon the same thing with
Speaker 1: me though. It's like if I got a duy, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to come to America. Really, if I
Speaker 1: had a misdemeanor, I wouldn't be able to come to America.
Speaker 1: Like did you go to like did you grow up
Speaker 1: going to Buffalo a lot to go to games Man?
Speaker 1: People people people from Canada go to Buffalo to get
Speaker 1: fill up their tank of gas because gas is cheaper,
Speaker 1: go to the store to get groceries because y'all got
Speaker 1: way more fucking brands and everything. Like so like it's
Speaker 1: like when you're living on a border town, people go
Speaker 1: to Buffalo or America all the time. That's like here
Speaker 1: like border towns, Like people will go to Mexico to
Speaker 1: get medicine. Do you want or some shit, Because medicine
Speaker 1: you don't need a prescription to get like a z
Speaker 1: pac out here, you need a Christians You just go
Speaker 1: over to Mexico and just get viagra for like twenty dollars.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, there's people where everyone's fucking teeth. All
Speaker 1: these rappers with their teeth, they're usually going to Mexico
Speaker 1: to get them things. Done. Yeah, I've been. I've only
Speaker 1: been to Mexico one time. I went. Uh. I DJed
Speaker 1: a New Year's party in Cancun like last year during COVID.
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy it? It was? It was pretty lit,
Speaker 1: but it was like during like the crazy peak of COVID,
Speaker 1: it was like, I don't know if we should go.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we should be doing this. It
Speaker 1: might be a bad look, you might get shamed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it was fun. Are
Speaker 1: you you go back home a lot a little bit.
Speaker 1: I haven't been in like two years since COVID. Rap
Speaker 1: about to say it's probably a I mean because they
Speaker 1: pretty much shut the ship down. It Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: shutting down, opening up, shutting down. Raptors had to play
Speaker 1: in Tampa last year. That was crazy, Like what the
Speaker 1: fuck is going on? I wanted to go to some
Speaker 1: games I never did. That's what I wish they would
Speaker 1: have did limited edition like Tampa Bay Raptor jerseys. That'd
Speaker 1: be hard. That would have been hard drop as an
Speaker 1: NFT you know, yeah, that would have been crazy to
Speaker 1: the Raptors. So let's talk about your tag, cause you
Speaker 1: have one of the more iconic tags in hip hop.
Speaker 1: Uh and I always say, you know, I had a
Speaker 1: conversation with hit Boy and Hippoy was saying for the
Speaker 1: longest time he didn't have a tag, and I kind
Speaker 1: of heard him because you know, we think of like
Speaker 1: hit Boy as like one of the more legendary producers
Speaker 1: of all time, but some of his biggest hit boys
Speaker 1: don't have his name on him as you know, So
Speaker 1: he started using a tag. Your tag is very iconic
Speaker 1: at this point, how did you find your tag? Like
Speaker 1: like kind of break down the story of how you
Speaker 1: got your tag. So the the murder on the Beato
Speaker 1: is not nice tag? Me and Boka shout out Tobacca,
Speaker 1: shout out to Bacca. We were we were like recording
Speaker 1: in Toronto and then like he just said that on
Speaker 1: the track and I was like, I should kind of
Speaker 1: use that. Then one day Sunny Digital was in Toronto
Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, like should I use this
Speaker 1: to the tag? And I played the song He's like
Speaker 1: you should, you should try it out, and then started
Speaker 1: using it and then Drake told me to put it
Speaker 1: on everything from there on them That's all it came about.
Speaker 1: And now it but like my old mamma murder tag.
Speaker 1: I got that ship, like I like bought it off
Speaker 1: some guy on the internet for like twenty bucks. He
Speaker 1: like made it for me, and I wanted that because
Speaker 1: I was on mixtapes and shiit what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: when you're listening to a mixtape, no label, to some
Speaker 1: old kind of mixtape, you listen, you hear my tag,
Speaker 1: you'd see produced by Murder. That's what was driving like
Speaker 1: beat sales. People will hit me up on Twitter whatever,
Speaker 1: like yo' second advertising. You know what I'm saying. That
Speaker 1: was how I was getting money. So I was trying
Speaker 1: to like promote myself and build my brand. You know, No,
Speaker 1: you've done a good job at that when you first
Speaker 1: started to kind of like I always feel like with
Speaker 1: producers now, there's so many different avenues for you to
Speaker 1: be like support yourself as a producer because we always
Speaker 1: think like the placement game is like such a tough
Speaker 1: game if you're an up and coming producer, like chasing placements,
Speaker 1: going to the studio, trying to get your beats in
Speaker 1: the right people, especially now too mecaus. Now, it's like
Speaker 1: when I was coming up, there was probably like five
Speaker 1: hundred producers, thousand producers trying to do it on the internet.
Speaker 1: Now there's like ten million, it's wild, fifty million literally,
Speaker 1: like fifty million kids to do it. So it's like
Speaker 1: if you're trying to chase a placement on an album
Speaker 1: and you get that album cut on a big artist,
Speaker 1: like how are you supposed to even be the brand
Speaker 1: off that? Right? You know? Like I feel like the
Speaker 1: biggest way for a producer to build nowadays is to
Speaker 1: build come up with an artist and build a sound,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, Like find an artist
Speaker 1: that you fuck with, do the whole album. Then they
Speaker 1: blow up and then you know what I'm saying that,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's like the best way to build
Speaker 1: a brand, yeah, because you build a sound, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I think the uh, what's the one
Speaker 1: kid's name, Uh, Logic's producer him, Like Logics producer did
Speaker 1: like all of his shit, and like obviously that dude's
Speaker 1: got Grammy and all that shit. But yeah, and then
Speaker 1: and then you're like associated with an act and like
Speaker 1: that shit goes a long way, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you kind of like in a way kind
Speaker 1: of did that with the Begos early on you know,
Speaker 1: you were kind of synonymous with like what they were doing.
Speaker 1: Because the thing is with them is like back then,
Speaker 1: like they were only fucking with like three four producers
Speaker 1: and I was one of them, or like three to five.
Speaker 1: They had like a few, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: But like they were not fucking with anyone else's beats,
Speaker 1: and like no one could get ahold of them, so
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, just being a part
Speaker 1: of that was like very exclusive and like everybody wanted
Speaker 1: my beats. What was it like being like a round
Speaker 1: them in Atlanta in like the early years because it
Speaker 1: was fun. It had to be crazy, right, Yeah. It
Speaker 1: was fun though because they're running atl at the time,
Speaker 1: They're running the streets. Yeah, they were doing shows, shutting
Speaker 1: clubs down, going crazy. We used to have fun at
Speaker 1: the crib. She was fun. What was the first kind
Speaker 1: of hit that really popped in the club for you
Speaker 1: that you did for them? Was it Pipe It Up?
Speaker 1: Emms Smith? Emmitt Smith? That ship was crazy. I remember
Speaker 1: going on the road with them and like seeing it
Speaker 1: on like BT, like on the TV. It was about
Speaker 1: the first time I ever heard my tag on the TV.
Speaker 1: I was like, Damn, it's crazy. I had like no money.
Speaker 1: Everyone back home thought I was like rich like everyonellions.
Speaker 1: Of course. It was like this ship was crazy man,
Speaker 1: But Emms Smith, you know what I'm saying. That was
Speaker 1: like the first time I even seen people dabbing a
Speaker 1: music video. That was like when the dab that, they
Speaker 1: were like, oh that was yeah. And then Pipe it
Speaker 1: Up really blew up. The day was crazy, crazy a moment.
Speaker 1: That was my first hit though. Pipe It Up was
Speaker 1: like a hit. I remember like playing that ship in
Speaker 1: Florida and radio going crazy, Oh my god, pipe it
Speaker 1: Up was one of them. One I got my first
Speaker 1: like twenty thousand dollars check off that song. Wow, And
Speaker 1: I was like we were like, we made it. That's
Speaker 1: a nice chunk of change. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But we're talking about producers like kind of monetizing their shit. Now.
Speaker 1: You know, there's people would still do beat leases, and
Speaker 1: then there's like obviously like I feel like one of
Speaker 1: the more like slept on ways that people find beats.
Speaker 1: And I know this because we'll have artists come in
Speaker 1: and they'll be like, yo, yo, here's the YouTube link.
Speaker 1: It's like these type beats on YouTube. Hell yeah, A
Speaker 1: lot of upcoming artists and a lot of like made
Speaker 1: artists still be doing that going. They'll type in their
Speaker 1: own name, type beat, make a bunch of songs. You know.
Speaker 1: That shit happens a lot. We've had so many artists
Speaker 1: come in be like, y'all want to do a freestyle
Speaker 1: over this, but it's there's some beat on YouTube, and
Speaker 1: then it'll be like their own name type beat, and
Speaker 1: they'll be like, what the fuck do you even know
Speaker 1: this guy? Like na na just fuck with the beat
Speaker 1: on YouTube. I'm like, yeah, that's how I started. I
Speaker 1: used to do type beats. Every producer's type beat on YouTube,
Speaker 1: walk a flock of type beats, some dunkin type beats,
Speaker 1: all these type beats, and I used to like drive traction,
Speaker 1: like when Cheeky was hot, I do you keep type beat?
Speaker 1: I had to beat. I remember I had to beat.
Speaker 1: It was like two hundred and fifty thousand views and
Speaker 1: shit like that's a lot on a vado. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: So you were kind of like already kind of doing
Speaker 1: your thing a little bit in the producer space. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I remember like there was like the Internet producers
Speaker 1: and shit. Yeah, like we were doing our thing and
Speaker 1: then I started like showing like what I looked like
Speaker 1: and shit, and I was like, oh shit, like who's this?
Speaker 1: Nobody ever would have thought you looked this way? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then like I feel like that was more like
Speaker 1: a wow, like damn, what the fuck he's from Canada,
Speaker 1: Like everyone else kind of just had like their graphic
Speaker 1: up on their on their Twitter and shit. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I want to build my face, caud. I don't want
Speaker 1: people to know what I look like. You know, who
Speaker 1: was with all the people you've worked with, You've worked
Speaker 1: with everyone, Drake, Travis, we can go on, Nikki, et cetera.
Speaker 1: As far as like in studio experience whose creative process
Speaker 1: is like the most meticulous where you're just like, yo,
Speaker 1: this this is like different because I always hear like
Speaker 1: guys like doctor Dre's creative process is insane, Like he's
Speaker 1: so particular about like the smallest ship. And I've been
Speaker 1: in sessions with artists that like care about ship that
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even like think of, who's that artist that
Speaker 1: you've been in with that's just very over the top
Speaker 1: with just caring about the small details them. Hmmm. Probably
Speaker 1: just like I don't know, I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of artists do, but definitely like the Atlanta artists like Quevo,
Speaker 1: the Migos, the Future, I feel like guys that just
Speaker 1: freestyle everything they do. But then like they're also like
Speaker 1: so like aware of like how they're saying it, like
Speaker 1: their tone and like their vocals and shit, Like that's
Speaker 1: pretty crazy, you know what I'm saying. I have this
Speaker 1: thing that I always say about producers, like I mean
Speaker 1: artists and shit, like it's like if they get it
Speaker 1: or they don't get it, and like it's like I
Speaker 1: feel like how like Party could like go in this
Speaker 1: freestyle whole song and it's like incredible, or like Juice
Speaker 1: World could like freestyle whole beat and it would be
Speaker 1: like an incredible song. Win W Melly the same. It's
Speaker 1: like certain artists just got it, Like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like like you can just pull up a
Speaker 1: beat for Juice RP or like Melly Party they were
Speaker 1: just going just nigul liarly freestyle the whole beat and
Speaker 1: it's like a finished song. That's crazy. That's incredible. Is
Speaker 1: it a different like when you you're in with a
Speaker 1: producer that does that, that does the punch in thing
Speaker 1: or does the the off the top thing as opposed
Speaker 1: to somebody who writes shit down. I don't even know
Speaker 1: who writes shit down anymore because it feels like most
Speaker 1: people just go in and they do they do the
Speaker 1: melody or do they do the punching thing where they
Speaker 1: punching line by line? Like is there like a big
Speaker 1: difference for you, Like being in the studio actually writes
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. So like it was like a gift
Speaker 1: that occurs with amgos because I was like so young,
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen twenty years old working with these
Speaker 1: guys their freestyle and everything, punching in and stuff. And
Speaker 1: then when I started working with other people and people
Speaker 1: were writing, I like didn't have patients in the studio
Speaker 1: for it because it's like it's a much more patience
Speaker 1: like driven process. Yeah, like I could go I could
Speaker 1: go in with Amigos. They could pull a beat half
Speaker 1: of the song done in twenty minutes. I was cooking
Speaker 1: up beats in like thirty minutes twenty minutes, so it
Speaker 1: was like our workflow is so quick, but our chemistry
Speaker 1: was crazy, you know what I'm saying. So it's like
Speaker 1: then going in with someone who has to sit there
Speaker 1: and write. Some people write for an hour. Some people
Speaker 1: aren't as quick with it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's not a bad thing. Everyone's creating. It's just a
Speaker 1: different process. I'd just be like, man, what the fuck
Speaker 1: are we doing? Move on to the next record, Like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Dave's Hot Chicken and come back.
Speaker 1: Let me know when you're ready. Hey, we know, we
Speaker 1: gotta stop the podcast real quick. Shout out to my bookie. Man, listen,

Speaker 1: be the MVP of the All Star Game? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you could bet on it. You could bet on anything.
Speaker 1: So make sure one more time that's my bookie. Double
Speaker 1: your first deposit up two thousand dollars using that promo
Speaker 1: code Bootleg place your bets. What are we doing bet
Speaker 1: on anything anytime anywhere with my bookie. Motherfucker, let's go.
Speaker 1: A lot of people get to your position, right Like
Speaker 1: obviously you came up making beats. Then there's I know,
Speaker 1: a lot of who end up getting to a certain
Speaker 1: point where they start kind of surrounding themselves with other
Speaker 1: producers to kind of just help with the creative process,
Speaker 1: whether it's loops, whether it's you know, whatever, it is,
Speaker 1: a lot more co production starts to happen. Is that
Speaker 1: a space you're in or you still very much hands
Speaker 1: on with everything you're doing. I definitely started like doing
Speaker 1: a lot of collaborating probably twenty sixteen, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I feel like music is a collaborative sport,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's just like when
Speaker 1: you have a band and we're making the songs. You
Speaker 1: play guitar, I played drums, you play bass, he sings.
Speaker 1: Then like sometimes the drummer would help write the lyrics.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like collaborative effort, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I feel like collaborating and music is very important
Speaker 1: because we all just trying to make the best shit.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It don't matter if I
Speaker 1: make it by myself, and then you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: if that results will matter, It's like, and you make
Speaker 1: the better work, you're the smarter guy. We gotta work smart,
Speaker 1: not hard, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Still though, It's like I definitely surround
Speaker 1: myself sometimes a lot of producers, but I still just
Speaker 1: like I like workflow, just like being by myself, pulling
Speaker 1: sit up, maybe like talking to people on FaceTime this
Speaker 1: that like I like to get in with people, you know,
Speaker 1: but then I just get distracted. I feel like, what
Speaker 1: are your well, like, your creative process with beats? Is
Speaker 1: it fruity loops? Is it pro tools? Is it logic?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you fl eleven? Forty loops? Eleven?
Speaker 1: So you'll still be just cooking up on the laptop
Speaker 1: and your headphones, cooking up speakers on the kitchen table,
Speaker 1: cooking up like just having fun with it. You know
Speaker 1: that's amazing, Just trying to like stay inspired and stuff,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because I feel like where
Speaker 1: I'm out of my career is not all about just
Speaker 1: like making thirty beats a day like I used to.
Speaker 1: You know, I got a lot more like DJing, brand
Speaker 1: and stuff, trying to drop my own singles. It's like
Speaker 1: a lot more to it than just like making beats
Speaker 1: every day. You know, you and Shorty Shorty did a
Speaker 1: very slept on collapse project. Shout out to Shorty Shorty
Speaker 1: shut Shorty, my boy? What what like? You know, when
Speaker 1: it comes to someone like Shorty Shorty, who obviously to
Speaker 1: me is like one of the more slept on guys
Speaker 1: in the game, I feel like maybe it's because he's
Speaker 1: from Baltimore. I don't know what it is, but he
Speaker 1: got bangers. But what inspires you want to do like
Speaker 1: a project with someone like him, just because like I
Speaker 1: feel like he was slept on and he's so talented,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I've been a fan of
Speaker 1: him for years, so I just like finally hit him
Speaker 1: up side. He was in La. We locked in. I
Speaker 1: think the first studio session we made good evening. I
Speaker 1: just thought that was such like a cool different record
Speaker 1: where I was like, man, let's shoot this video in
Speaker 1: Malibu in two days. I'm like, let's just bang on
Speaker 1: the album. We bangedo the album like probably like two weeks.
Speaker 1: That's so crazy. Is there anybody else who would want
Speaker 1: to do a collab project with at this point? Definitely
Speaker 1: some people, like so maybe someone who's kind of in
Speaker 1: that same space where you feel like they might be
Speaker 1: a little slept on, Like yeah, no, you might be
Speaker 1: able to shine some light on what they're doing if
Speaker 1: you collab. Probably like no Cap. I think no no Caps.
Speaker 1: I think he just got a plaque too for vaccine
Speaker 1: shout yeah, shout out, no Cat. I think he's super talented,
Speaker 1: got the craziest bars. No, he's crazy, and I hear
Speaker 1: his freestyles everything too too. Yeah. It's just crazy though,
Speaker 1: because all like listen to his music and then like
Speaker 1: every time I listened to his shit, I'm like listening
Speaker 1: dissecting a new bar, like, damn, that shit is crazy.
Speaker 1: The way he flipped that. You know, No, he's crazy
Speaker 1: for sure. You obviously working with NICKI has gotta be
Speaker 1: I mean, she's one of the greatest of all time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's super talented. Yeah, shout out to Nikki. How weird
Speaker 1: was it being like, uh, you know with all the
Speaker 1: six nine should happened? Obviously you're a white kid from
Speaker 1: fucking the Niagara region, So like whether or not the
Speaker 1: dudes the snitch or not probably doesn't matter to you.
Speaker 1: But did that kind of like uh, because I feel
Speaker 1: like that was his biggest record? At least that to
Speaker 1: me was the Thief. He's one of my biggest records.
Speaker 1: Diamond Well Fiefe's like the only record I feel like
Speaker 1: he ever dropped. That Like was like I really had
Speaker 1: real crossover like potent. I was like, Yo, this ship
Speaker 1: is like undeniable at that point. But like, what was that?
Speaker 1: I think it was just perfect timing, great timing on
Speaker 1: his behalve coming off nights for what he was super
Speaker 1: hot NICKI obviously you know what I'm saying. That's just
Speaker 1: a knockout. What was like the story behind how that
Speaker 1: came together was did the Nicky have a lot to
Speaker 1: do with it? Or was this six nine thing? First?
Speaker 1: Like I pulled up on him, we made the record
Speaker 1: in New York, and then we were like just like
Speaker 1: brainstorming who we should get on it. He really want
Speaker 1: to get Nikky on, and you got Nicki on and
Speaker 1: then yeah, it was over because it was this prior
Speaker 1: after you did No Frauds. I did know Frauds, like
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen. This was like we did the
Speaker 1: Fife record probably like eighteen twenty eighteen. Yeah, No Frods
Speaker 1: a banger too. No Frauds was so hard. That was
Speaker 1: a banger. I remember, like Drake called me, He's like, yo,
Speaker 1: he sent me the record, and I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: this ship wants to be crazy. I got one when
Speaker 1: Nicki Drake and one Way and it was like a
Speaker 1: statement record for I was like yeah, it was like
Speaker 1: look because that was what she was going through, the
Speaker 1: rimy mas shit. I was like, I remember I remember
Speaker 1: playing that like and like my parents, I was like upstairs.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, this shit crazy. That's fucking wild
Speaker 1: now that you're doing like live gigs right, Like, it's
Speaker 1: a whole different game. It is a whole different game.
Speaker 1: People don't realize that. Shit. I love DJing now, man, Like,
Speaker 1: were you ever djaying in the past? No, So I
Speaker 1: wasn't djaying and like people were telling me to start
Speaker 1: DJing because people want to start seeing me. So we
Speaker 1: were getting booking officer and shit, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't really want to DJ, right, And then we
Speaker 1: finally we took on like five years ago. It was
Speaker 1: like a New Year's gig in Hawaii. I was like
Speaker 1: teaching myself how to DJ in like the fucking hotel
Speaker 1: room before sound check, and wow, I was like learning
Speaker 1: in soundcheck. I like brought somewone with me and like yeah,
Speaker 1: like from then, even like I didn't really fuck with DJ.
Speaker 1: But then like when I started going on tours and ship,
Speaker 1: like I started to having a good time. And then
Speaker 1: like Coachella, like I brought out like d MX and
Speaker 1: for Where's the Kid Tie and like that, shit was
Speaker 1: just like so incredible. I just started like to like
Speaker 1: the feeling you know what I'm saying, and like controlling
Speaker 1: the energy and like, you know what I'm saying, you
Speaker 1: could play certain records get the crowd going, and you're
Speaker 1: like you could play just a lot of your own
Speaker 1: ship like that. Yeah, that's like like when I when
Speaker 1: I when I play in like so like my Birthday's Friday,
Speaker 1: I'm performing at Hakasant on my birthday. I was about
Speaker 1: to be well, might as well dj already on my birthday,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because I'm going to party
Speaker 1: out of the way. So it's like when I'm DJing
Speaker 1: in Vegas, I played for like two hours. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's a long time. So I'll play
Speaker 1: some of my records and stuff. But I just really
Speaker 1: wanted to just like play what I think everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: go crazy too, you know, Like I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: curate like a crazy party for sure. Yeah, like you
Speaker 1: want to play your own ship, but like you also
Speaker 1: want to make sure like you don't want to be
Speaker 1: the guy that only plays your ship. Like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I just like you want everyone, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want everyone to have for you. You know. I
Speaker 1: love the party, man, Like I love to turn up
Speaker 1: and have fun. So like I just feel like when
Speaker 1: I'm DJing, I'm like I'm on the ox court. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You gotta rewind a little bit.
Speaker 1: When you did Coachella, I didn't know you brought DMX
Speaker 1: out crazy. Well, how did that happen? That's a wild
Speaker 1: generational difference there. We were trying to figure out who
Speaker 1: to bring out, and I think it was my manager ID.
Speaker 1: He was like, man, we should bring out d MX.
Speaker 1: I heard he's like in the Bay. So we ended
Speaker 1: up like booking him a sprinter from like the Bay
Speaker 1: to Coachella. Oh wow, And like he made it like
Speaker 1: just on time, like like he made it like just
Speaker 1: like like we didn't even know if he was gonna
Speaker 1: make it so like that whole time at Coachell, like
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I didn't know if certain people
Speaker 1: were even gonna pull out, kept looking back like X here, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he came out on staying is you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. He did his thing too. That was crazy.
Speaker 1: That was like I feel like that was like the
Speaker 1: first like big performance back that he had because and
Speaker 1: I know after that he did some rolling unds and
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But that was like that
Speaker 1: was a big one man. All Right, It's crazy you
Speaker 1: mentioned your birthday because I used to work with a
Speaker 1: weed company in Arizona called Vapin and they sponsored your
Speaker 1: birthday party. Yeah. So my guy Tie owns a company,
Speaker 1: Yeah twenty eighteen, so I was there, and were you
Speaker 1: in Arizona? No, I mean yeah, I mean I'm from Arizona,
Speaker 1: but they threw a crazy party in Arizona. The house
Speaker 1: party that was Liz. I canceled my YG was three
Speaker 1: hours late to our interview out here in La, so
Speaker 1: I was either going to stay in La and interview
Speaker 1: YG and missed my flight to go DJ that fucking party,
Speaker 1: and I ended up doing the YG interview and then
Speaker 1: Dre Sinatra covered for me and DJ. That ship I
Speaker 1: was on tour with g Eazy tye Y Buzy Uzzy Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that ship so they sponsored. Yeah, yeah, that ship
Speaker 1: was mad fun. Man. They took us to the the
Speaker 1: Weed warehouse and ship saw like so much fucking weed.
Speaker 1: But they sponsored your birthday out here. I think by
Speaker 1: that time I was working with them and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a lip party. There was a while. That
Speaker 1: was when I first met the Milk Boys. They had
Speaker 1: just moved from Canada to here. Melly was there, Kodak
Speaker 1: was there, They were lit. That was That was actually
Speaker 1: crazy that Melly and Kodak were both there at the
Speaker 1: same time. Yeah, that ship was, man. That was right
Speaker 1: before I want to say that was right before Melle
Speaker 1: got locked up. Because we were the last interview. Did
Speaker 1: he did? And I think we interviewed him like the
Speaker 1: day or two before that, and then I feel like
Speaker 1: he got locked up like a week after that or something. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he definitely he wanted to come turn up real quick,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, Yeah, that was a pretty epic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know how to party for sure, Free my boy, Melly. Man,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on with that. I just know every every two weeks
Speaker 1: there's like an update, and some of them sometimes they're contradicting,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know what's gonna you. You
Speaker 1: and you and Mellie, like we'll talk about that relationship.
Speaker 1: Like he's obviously a very uh I wouldn't say misunderstood,
Speaker 1: but very man. He's a talented He's like a super
Speaker 1: talented artist. Man. Like I just like started listening to
Speaker 1: his music. I'm like, man, this kid's fire. Ended up
Speaker 1: finding some time when he was in LA, pulled up
Speaker 1: on him. We did like five records, I'd say four
Speaker 1: or five records, and like he was kind of like
Speaker 1: the same thing, like freestyling everything going crazy. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: this Gid's talented ship like super talented, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And then he ended up getting locked up
Speaker 1: and ship, So uh, I released one record I had
Speaker 1: been in a split record I had that I put
Speaker 1: Dirk on and dropped that like during COVID, and then
Speaker 1: he dropped a couple of records. And I think there's
Speaker 1: like one or two more records we got in the
Speaker 1: vault that are that are probably coming out soon, So
Speaker 1: stay tuned. Do you still like tap in with up
Speaker 1: and coming producers for like loops or ship like that?
Speaker 1: Like someone has like a fire loop pack, Like, were
Speaker 1: you still like tap in with one hundred percent? Man? Man,
Speaker 1: my email is fucking crazy. I feel I swear these
Speaker 1: kids are selling my email. Swear they selling my email
Speaker 1: or something. Because there's always just something about coming kids
Speaker 1: producers sending me shit, and I always just fuck with
Speaker 1: them like I'm like, man, might as well you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like just like when I was a
Speaker 1: young kid, It's like, boy, wonder you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I hit wand up and then one is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: pull up on me, I go pull up this grip
Speaker 1: cook up. It's like the same thing, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. The youth man, music's a young sport, it is, man.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know what I'm saying, these kids
Speaker 1: are amazing at making beats. Now, Like I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: they're making up my shit sound kind of you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I got to figure out how
Speaker 1: to make my shit more special because these kids are
Speaker 1: thirteen years old making the hardest shit. What is like
Speaker 1: the secret to your run being as long as it's
Speaker 1: been and continuing because there are is Like I said,
Speaker 1: there are people who have errors, but there are a
Speaker 1: lot of producers that will have like a two year
Speaker 1: spike and then they just go away. That's happened a lot.
Speaker 1: Like what do you think has kind of been a
Speaker 1: secret to yourself for longevity? Just being grateful god, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and just like building a sustainable
Speaker 1: brand that's like here to last, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like it's not like I like I just think I
Speaker 1: had I had my little run, but like I'm still
Speaker 1: like pumping shit out, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: just gotta stay grateful, stay down, keep working, stay focused.
Speaker 1: You know. But and I think a lot of it's
Speaker 1: just timing, you know, like coming out of like I
Speaker 1: started to like get build my brand during the end
Speaker 1: of the mixtape era and that and then I had
Speaker 1: my running like the very beginning of streaming. Streaming, yeah
Speaker 1: for sure, you know what I mean. Yeah, two different
Speaker 1: eras for sure, Like the dat pif era all the
Speaker 1: way to the stream I was always mixtapes, that pip SoundCloud,
Speaker 1: all that shit SoundCloud, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: still use the dat pitf app for certain shit I
Speaker 1: can't get on the DSPs. It's like the only place
Speaker 1: I listened to it. And like I even caught like
Speaker 1: the SoundCloud era, like when it was like at his
Speaker 1: peak to like even Butterfly Effect, Like I remember when
Speaker 1: that was straight to soundclouds. Travis dropped a three pack.
Speaker 1: I remember he dropped off three I'm like, damn, I
Speaker 1: don't know. These other songs are fire to the next day,
Speaker 1: Butterfly Effect had like fourteen million plays on SoundCloud and
Speaker 1: one day and they were like yo, this single, push
Speaker 1: it like they were just like from there, pushed it,
Speaker 1: unmixed straight to radio everything. Remember when that record was
Speaker 1: like crazy, I've never seen some shit like I think
Speaker 1: out of my whole career, like that record, like the
Speaker 1: first day was like the craziest shit, like yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's still researches really well because we still play the
Speaker 1: funk out of it in LA on the radio like yeah,
Speaker 1: and the thing is too with that record, I feel
Speaker 1: like it didn't do as good on radio or like
Speaker 1: the chart wise as it should because it was such
Speaker 1: like a cultural song for like shows and like live performance,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Hey, we gotta stuff the
Speaker 1: podcast man, real quick. Appreciate y'all for watching, really mean

Speaker 1: get back to the interview. You know, I I think
Speaker 1: of like certain producers beats like a when we think
Speaker 1: of like just blaze like exhibit A. See is like
Speaker 1: his like magnum opus, like like what you are, in
Speaker 1: your opinion, your favorite or your best beat that you've
Speaker 1: ever made, that like not the biggest, but just the
Speaker 1: one beat that you're like, this shit is so crazy.
Speaker 1: If you take the rappers off, this shit is just
Speaker 1: a banger buzzing by party next door in Lil YACHTI
Speaker 1: I feel like that beat is just crazy, the bounce
Speaker 1: and everything about that beat is so different and it's
Speaker 1: just so hard. But if we're talking like big beats too,
Speaker 1: like I think Motorsport, man, that beat just smax. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did. I think I had
Speaker 1: to kick way too loud and then then when they
Speaker 1: mixed it, but that shit knocks in the club. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Motorsport was a crazy moment. The only time we've heard
Speaker 1: Nicky and Cardi on a record together. Crazy when you
Speaker 1: when you did that record, did the Migos late, Like,
Speaker 1: did you have any idea that that was going to
Speaker 1: be the plan to like put them to on the
Speaker 1: on the song or even uh nah? So I made
Speaker 1: the beat in Toronto, I mean that shit on like
Speaker 1: a little last speaker man, like this big and my
Speaker 1: boy's conda. I sent it to a couple of urt
Speaker 1: Then I ended up pulling up on the Migos in
Speaker 1: New York at Quad and I pulled up that beat
Speaker 1: and me and Quevo made Motorsport right there. And then
Speaker 1: I think, like a couple months later, he told me
Speaker 1: like he's like, yeah, I got Cardi and Nicky. You're like, man,
Speaker 1: you're crazy, man, you know what I'm saying. But out
Speaker 1: of anybody that could have did that. He did it,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So he did do it.
Speaker 1: He did that shit that probably never is gonna happen again.
Speaker 1: That shit was crazy. That was a That was a moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: real shit, that was a fucking moment for sure. What
Speaker 1: is like now that you obviously are working on your
Speaker 1: new album, are you going to be uh? Are we
Speaker 1: just doing singles? Are we doing a project? I'm definitely
Speaker 1: trying to gear up for a project, but I definitely
Speaker 1: want to keep just dropping singles and I definitely want
Speaker 1: to like showcase like new talent too, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Because I dropped one project ever. It was
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. I dropped Keep God first. It was a mixtape,
Speaker 1: and like I had like a lot of people on
Speaker 1: there before they were really big, Like like I had
Speaker 1: like solo offset songs on there before Bad and Booze.
Speaker 1: I had like played with Cardi on there before he
Speaker 1: really popped off. Like everyone was kind of like, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, had some people from Kids from
Speaker 1: Toronto on there before they popped off. So I feel
Speaker 1: like it's important as a producer to drop a project
Speaker 1: and like put people on like give them. You you're
Speaker 1: using your platform, you know what I'm saying. So with this,
Speaker 1: with the new music, you want to make sure you're awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean you did that with Shorty Shorty. I feel
Speaker 1: because I feel like Shorty Shorty. I mean obviously I
Speaker 1: bet you it was a golden platinum record. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was already doing his thing. I still feel like he
Speaker 1: kind of you know, it was it was. It was
Speaker 1: dope to see him collaborate with you because I knew
Speaker 1: it would bring new eyes to what he does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I feel like it worked out perfect. So you know,
Speaker 1: who are some of the new artists that you're like,
Speaker 1: really you know, because you've got a great year that
Speaker 1: you're really fucking with that, Like you know, you kind
Speaker 1: of feel like you're in a similar space that you
Speaker 1: were in twenty sixteen to kind of put them on
Speaker 1: or help at least. There's this kid Doov in Toronto,
Speaker 1: super Far. He's like, he's probably next up in Canada.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Doov. He's dope, definitely like no cap,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I fuck with him. There's
Speaker 1: there's so many people, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: we've got to see who who I work with. What
Speaker 1: I appreciate about you is that, at least not to
Speaker 1: my knowledge, you haven't done the low hanging fruit DM
Speaker 1: shit yet Or is that just edm like like a
Speaker 1: murder beats, like fucking fist pump vegas anthem that like
Speaker 1: like I feel like you know, you know what I mean, right, Like,
Speaker 1: because now that you're DJ, and I'm sure it's like
Speaker 1: you you might get the itch to be like, man,
Speaker 1: I need one of these because you know, all the
Speaker 1: MD because all the DJs are stealing from hip hop shit,
Speaker 1: all the DM guys are making rap records. I fuck
Speaker 1: with a lot of the DJs though, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, shout out to all the DJs. Know they're
Speaker 1: all cool, but they're still they're still all making rap records.
Speaker 1: It's just hard for me because like I'm like a
Speaker 1: hip hop DJ, so it's like I'm not even playing
Speaker 1: like DM and ship at my shows. Do you feel
Speaker 1: some type of way when you see some of these
Speaker 1: DM guys like making rap records You're like, well, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like this is not what you do, Like no, really,
Speaker 1: I don't know it is what it is. Music is
Speaker 1: music at the end of the day. That's fair. It
Speaker 1: only matters who does it better, right, that is true.
Speaker 1: That is true, whoever does it better? Pretty much? And hey,
Speaker 1: I would give I'll give. I gotta give props to Skrillics.
Speaker 1: Scrillic is a fucking beast of a producer. He is
Speaker 1: a beast of a producer. I've been in the studio
Speaker 1: with him a couple of times. He's a monster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll be playing guitar a bunch of shit. He could
Speaker 1: do all kinds of ship. What about like a placement wise, like,
Speaker 1: do you got any big records coming? I got some
Speaker 1: shit going, some ship coming. I'm not gonna lie my
Speaker 1: next single I'm really excited about. I'm going to drop
Speaker 1: some ship. When is that coming? Some ship? Uh? Probably soon?
