Speaker 3: You got that one. Oh my god, you can't see

51
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: Missouri obviously grew up, I can't city. My parents had

52
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: an old beat down piano. That's where I started. Uh

53
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: it's old Steinway that was in the house and that's

54
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: probably like four or five man, and I was see

55
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: it and so I was intrigued by it. I just

56
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: started banging on it. My parents like just give them

57
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 3: lessons like that, you know. I was going to church obviously,

58
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: as we all do, and I I was always intrigued

59
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: by the drums first, and then I got to the piano,

60
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: had some lessons and the teacher was like, yeah, he's

61
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: not focused enough. And my brother was taking lessons with me, Kevin,

62
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: because he's more calm, collected and more just he's more

63
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: you know, strategy wise. And I got kicked out the

64
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: pan lessons. Bro, that's my first got kicked out. It

65
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: was like, I don't think it's for him to the

66
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: point to where he's like he just doesn't focus. And

67
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: then after I got kicked out, I started going to

68
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: church again, started playing. I was like, oh, I'm listening

69
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: to the radio some Brian miannight or I'm hearing things

70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: like yo, I can play that star. I started just

71
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: picking the part and I was like, if I can

72
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: figure out at a young age, I knew, if I

73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: can figure out how to eliminate every wrong on this,

74
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: I can only get it right. That's not my mentality.

75
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: So I started just every day she started banging on

76
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: the piano. I was like, one day, this is gonna

77
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: sound like something crazy, and then more I started doing it,

78
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: and then moro, I started practicing. The marrows started feeling it.

79
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: And keep in mind too, I got you know, our

80
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: brothers listened to like rap, my sisters listening to like

81
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: some Kenny g My dad's mom listened to Temptations, So

82
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: it's always like some musical pharaoh. Faris will of like

83
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: just different inspiration. And then they started clicking droude. And

84
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: then at the church, I was like, young man, you

85
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: know your gift serve the Lord. I was like, how

86
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: much is this I'm gonna get favorites or not? You

87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: know type of thing you wanted to know that early well,

88
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: because I always figured man, because I've seen people gigging.

89
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: I knew a gigging was. I'm like people getting getting paid.

90
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: How old were you at this point, I like eight

91
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: eight nine.

92
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: I knew that at a young age.

93
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: But what what you got on on my on my

94
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: nerve set, because you know, I'm seeing people, you know,

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: getting a little money here you don't money.

96
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: But because I knew, I was like at this at

97
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: that time, I knew, I was like, I want to

98
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: be a musician for the rest of my life. I

99
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: want to do something. Then immediately because I was like,

100
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: I just love it too much, And I discovered a

101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: way when I was playing to feel something more than

102
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: just like the the excitement from no no no, I

103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: would actually get spiritually like I'm like, man, I feel like, dude,

104
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: I'm hearing the music, I'm feeling it, like getting like

105
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: like this is crazy that this does that, you know.

106
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: And then like you know, friends down the street come over,

107
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: and I remember one time it's a little girl right

108
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: down the streets to my friends from school came in.

109
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: I was like, let me play something. I'm playing. I'm

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: playing a piano and brose, she just started crying. I'm like, dude,

111
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: what the hell just happened. I'm like, what does this

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: even me? I'm like, you cool with what happened? She's like,

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: she's the way you play type of thing, and I

114
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: was just like, Yo, this is something more deeper than

115
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 3: just being adult. For me, it was never about like musicianship.

116
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 3: I love musicians, I love being part of the musician community,

117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: but I just can't It's an ego that comes with

118
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: that that I just can't identify with. So that's why

119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: I started taking like more contemporary and I still do

120
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: costom stuff too, obviously in church, but I was like,

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: I don't do something like Bruce Hornsby or George Winston Route.

122
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 3: But when when I saw that, I was like, well,

123
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: I can get If it's her, I get one hundred

124
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: more hers and I sell a CD. Then we popping.

125
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: And so I started a little jazz label that's like

126
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: twelve one Team.

127
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was was It's not because I seen the CDs.

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: I started this is wow. I did my album at

129
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: his house because I want my money. What Yeah, I

130
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: was like, man, I want to do this for real.

131
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: So what was was, was anybody in place to kind

00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: of give you any type of direction on how to

133

Speaker 3: us like tapes on stocks and stuff that I didn't

138
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: care about that, at least the way he was presenting it,

139
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: because he would read every day and he was just

140
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,560

146
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: hold on, man's good. But now he would sit down

147
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: with me and be like, all right, if you're serious

148

00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,400

152
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: middle school to learn the theory of it because my

153
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: ear is much faster than my eyes.

154
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so here's what I want to say. What I

155
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: want to say to that because I experienced that as

156
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: a kid trying to take lessons. The thing about when

157
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I was in there taking lessons is that it wasn't

158
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: what I heard that made me excited about playing the

159
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: piano in the first place. When I got there and

160
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: they put me in you know, middle C with both

161
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: my thumbs and we started playing whatever this classical basicness was.

162
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: I was like a classical basics. I was like, no, no,

163
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I want to.

164
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you have you heard Charlie Brown? Yeah? I

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: want to.

166
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: How do we you have to start here? But I

167
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: don't want it? And it wasn't that what we're learning now.

168
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't that you didn't have the attention span to learn.

169
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: They didn't know how to get your attention.

170
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: They didn't promote the creativity.

171
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: They didn't know where to meet him.

172
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: Like my son when he started his piano lesson, the

173
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: first thing his piano teacher asked him was what do

174
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: you like? And he was like, I like, what's supposed

175
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: to the thing with the kids be flying in the rooms

176
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: and ship?

177
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: Uh Harry Potter. I like Harry Potter.

178
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: She was like, Okay, let's learn Harry Potter's tight and

179
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: here's the theory behind Harry Potter, and here's how you played.

180
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: This is what And he learned Harry Potter learns how

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: to read it and play it, transpose it.

182
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 3: See a teacher at a rusting lady was like if

183
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: you was in my country with chop your hands. I

184
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: was like, yo, yeah, this is like this is in

185
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: middle school. So I'm now I'm in middle school doing

186
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: my thing. And then I'm like yo, and she's being

187
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: super She's like, you have potential. And every time I

188
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: would do something like that, they couldn't process. It was

189
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: like what is this? What is this junk is? I'm like, yo,

190
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: this is this sounds like something. I'm like, I'm like, man,

191
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: what And then I just started So I started just

192
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: watching her and I just learned and started playing. Some

193
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: men learn to play this, so I can just pass

194
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: this class. So I became passive learning, so which gave

195
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: me the ability to recognize how fast I can learn music,

196
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: and I want to transfer that to like a business.

197
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: I was always trying to get to and not for

198
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: the sake of just game, but just like I want

199
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: to because I knew at a young age is like

200
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: I gotta, you know, prepare for life as much as

201
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 3: like I don't know why. I'm like my dad had

202
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: to go.

203
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who you are early but

204
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: my early businessman.

205
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, like my dad, you know. He was just like, yo,

206
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: this is no businesses. You know, you know, chores and

207
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: you know. So it wasn't it wasn't a do or

208
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: dim mentality. But I was just always fascinated, you know,

209
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: And I always one thing my parents do often will

210
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: take us open houses when we were young. So we

211
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: live in the inner city, you know, a nice house,

212
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: middle class. Now it's like popping all the way, but

213
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: we would go out to like North Kansas City and

214
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: look at these big mansions. So at a young age,

215
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, I won't live like this. One

216
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: day my dad was like, for sales, it don't say

217
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: for sale for who, so if you want it, you

218
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: gotta work hard for it.

219
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't say for sale for who,

220
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: it just has for sale.

221
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, do you think I can get

222
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 3: a BMW in high school? He was like, now, maybe

223
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: if you can afford it. I never got it, But

224
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 3: the point was I was just highly motivated, and then

225
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: somewhere along the way I just started feeling the passion

226
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: of it and then just getting into like this life

227
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: of it all. And so then the business kind of

228
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: doing it away a little bit. I just started focusing

229
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,600

Speaker 4: always and also something that I just always admired about you,

675
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 4: just seeing because we and Tank can tell you, we

676
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 4: see so many talented people that I don't really know

677
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: where they're going though. That's they jump on that hamster

678
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 4: wheel Man and it's tough man, and it's like and

679
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: and I and I have empathy sometimes for that. You know,

680
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 4: Tank has more than I because I'm just like, Bro,

681
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: you just at some point your land's got to get

682
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 4: tired of running in the same place. But but to

683
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: see you and to see that you had a clear

684
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 4: view of like, Okay, I'm trying to do this to

685
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 4: get to this, to get to that was really cool

686
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 4: because I just seen so many talented people, bro, and

687
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 4: it was just it was just it would hurt. It

688
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: would hurt to watch it sometimes, like damn, Bro, like nigga,

689
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: you still, yeah, I ain't figured this shit out.

690
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: I'm at that place.

691
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 4: You still ain't hit the pivot, because that's the other

692
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: thing in this business. You gotta be at a pivot.

693
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 4: It may not just be a record deal, like people

694
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: literally get caught on one a deal.

695
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's real. You taught me. In fact, you told

696
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: me that. Two things you told me that switched the

697
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: game for me. One time you were like a man

698
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: play the piano, Like you can't play the piano. I

699
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: was like, what this dude to tell me? Like he's like, no, simplified.

700
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: You did a lot of work with me, bro, like

701
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 3: I know you added it up sore, but he was like, yo,

702
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: just simplified and don't put too much energy on it.

703
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: And then you said something else, and I remember it

704
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: was probably like a can City placement or something. I

705
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: was like, this is the song something something he was like, hey, man,

706
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: don't fall in love with one song. I was like,

707
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 3: what do you mean. He's like, just don't. It's many

708
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: more songs. Youre gonna have some songs that go left

709
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 3: to go right. But just that day, I'll just keep

710
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: it moving all right, next next that triggered something. Whatever

711
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: you said trigger that moment.

712
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: But now I've only fallen in love with one song

713
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: and I bring it up all the time on this

714
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: podcast because it didn't make his album.

715
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: That's my one song I fell in love like it's

716
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: for real, you know, it's crazy.

717
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 4: My my young partner, djb Easy hit me and he

718
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: and he just randomly sent me a text and he said, Jay,

719
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 4: what's your favorite song you've ever written? And I hadn't

720
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 4: even thought about that in years. And the first thing

721
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: popped in my head was Injured Reserve right, And he

722
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 4: was like, where's the record? I said it's probably on

723
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 4: the internet somewhere, and he found it and he hit

724
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: me back like, Nigga, this song is incredible.

725
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: But I was like, yeah, I.

726
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: Think it's from when your ship got Everything got You

727
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: still got your version, Eric, my Eric Dowkers might have

728
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 4: somebody has my version somewhere. But I say that to

729
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: say like that was the only record for me out

730
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 4: of all the music that I've written that really was

731
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: just like I really like, I really love love this.

732
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 4: And the song never went anywhere, damn partially because of

733
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 4: him because he held on to it for two damn long.

734
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 4: But that's whatever, no it, But I had to learn

735
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 4: that lesson early, like, as great as I think it is,

736
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 4: as great as multiple people think it is, it may

737
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 4: never come out.

738
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: That's literally the energy in the conversation. And I was like, Huh,

739
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: how do I prepare myself for this? It's not easy, No,

740
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: not at all. But that's when I started switching gears.

741
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start doing different genres. I've always did different genres,

742
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: and along the way of all the success that I

743
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: was having, it was going up.

744
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 2: So let's talk about the success. Though.

745
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: We're not gonna we're not gonna brush over that, you

746
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, because absolutely your story is extremely

747
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: important and and we're going to continue to go into that.

748
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 2: We also got to give them the bars.

749
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: Tocha'll let you flex? Okay, you know, after you get

750
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: your first placement, do you do your publishing deal right?

751
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 3: After that or do you wait it's it's already emotion.

752
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: It's emotion.

753
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. OK, so I do my first one with the

754
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 3: with the scope of that being the cut, not not

755
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: not predicting was around the corner and I was in

756
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: motion to do a said production deal with someone and

757
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know, I kind of want

758
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 3: to take my own route.

759
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 2: And it was like, man, so a bigger producer offered

760
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: you an opportunity.

761
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had. I had a fortunate to have a

762
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: couple opportunities from different producers or not. And I was like,

763
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm just gonna just have a choice

764
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 3: I have to make. Either I'm gonna do it, I'm

765
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: not gonna do it. And I was like, I just

766
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: wanna just wait a little bit longer, even though I

767
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: felt it was necessary to have someone bigger to help opportunities.

768
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: But that song came out, so I was like, let's

769
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: just see what happens. And I remember that day that

770
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not gonna do this particular deal.

771
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 3: I was like, man, something else gotta give. And I

772
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: was like, I'm gonna turn this up a little bit.

773
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 3: And and me and Te Whiz were still working we're

774
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 3: still building and have a pub deal. So I was like,

775
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do I'm gonna'm gonna be on some Kansas

776
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: city ship. I was like, I'm gonna get apartment way

777
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 3: out somewhere. I moved out to, like Valencia or something.

778
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: I just got in the corn Agor's rope. It was

779
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 3: like for lost, like five five. I was like, what

780
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: is this is a little quiet area. I said, I'm

781
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: I'm a little live over here. I'm gonna just duck

782
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 3: off and just build and create. And and I remember

783
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: at the time, I'm still working with Polo Chris Dre

784
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 3: married Rabbe and so I'm going back to the student

785
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 3: I think it was there was a record plant and

786
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: now I'm from Valencia. From Valencia. Now, I keep in

787
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: mind there's an underlying health issue that I'm dealing with

788
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: that I don't know i'm dealing with yet, and so

789
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 3: I'm tired, I'm frustrated. I'm like, yo, man, work in

790
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: the studio late takes a toll because I'm thinking, like

791
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm young, so I don't there's definitely nothing wrong with

792
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: my health. And so I was always like sleeping or

793
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 3: I fall sleep in the studio or I'm like, people like, yo, BK,

794
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: that's not normal, bro, you shouldn't be I'm like, I'm

795
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 3: just tired, y'all taking too long type of thing. Yeah,

796
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: y'all need to hurry up. You know what I mean?

797
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 3: In my mind, I'm like, I could have done this

798
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 3: a long time ago. But I but that's also not egotistical.

799
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: But it's a very I've done this for so I've

800
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: been making music for I've been writing songs at five

801
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 3: or six years old. So I understand so many different variations.

802
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 3: Not from a standpoint of like I'm a consumer. I

803
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: like to observe, but I also understanding this stuff, like

804
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 3: like left and right, and so I fall asleep on

805
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,279

Speaker 3: knew had the ability to understand that this is not

849
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 3: a normal moment. But I have to normalize this moment

850
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 3: at the same time, which is a hard thing to

851
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: do because it's like all of it or nothing at

Speaker 3: gave them my letter. Like two or three doctors came in,

1001

1011
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm straight. And they put the ivy drip and they

1012
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: dropped my blood pressure and I was looking at my

1013
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 3: text messages and the words fell off. So I was

1014
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 3: going like a little mini stroke episode and I was like, yo,

1015
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't feel good at all, and so

1016
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 3: my dad, you know, next time, my mom and Dady

1017
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 3: flew up. But before and then the doctor that I

1018
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 3: was working with a first was harassing me like why

1019
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 3: are you here, like while you're at this hospital, like

1020
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 3: you're just talking like Google, you might have this, you might.

1021
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: I mean literally, I was like, dude, this is kind

1022
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 3: of hostile. But at the time I didn't know what

1023
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: it was. You know, my dad came the next day

1024
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 3: and he's like, we gotta do a bop see because

1025
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 3: something's up. And so we did a BOBC Monday and

1026
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 3: I tested. It was a reno kidney failure. FSGS is

1027
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: the most rare and effective and dangerous kidney disease, one

1028
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 3: of them ten percent function.

1029
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: Bro.

1030
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: Literally, they was like, yeah, you gotta switch to gears

1031
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 3: right now. We're gonna get Yournallasis. We're gonna do this.

1032
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna do that. I'm sitting back like, no, you know,

1033
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 3: I got a session in a couple of weeks. In

1034
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 3: my mind, I'm like yeah, in my mind, I'm like no,

1035
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 3: I didn't come this. I'm like, hold on, is this

1036
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 3: so this is the price of success? Like I have

1037
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: to is this really what comes with it? And I

1038
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: was like I manifested everything, but who I wanted to

1039
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: be when it happened. And my dad alway said, they said,

1040
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 3: don't worry about making it, worry about who you are

1041
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 3: when you do make it. And I neglected that. I thought,

1042
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: you know, the industry is like you gotta come studio late,

1043
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: pull up, you know, just you know, like eating what

1044
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: you want to eat. You guys had a good regimen.

1045
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 3: Throw Jay always been cool. Man, He's already been chilled.

1046
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 3: Like he was like, you never I feel like you

1047
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 3: never let this shit affect you in the same man,

1048
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you probably went your thing. But I

1049
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 3: always when we had a conversation, it was definitely necessary

1050
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 3: because that's when I was going through a manic episode.

1051
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 3: So when you called me, he was talking to me.

1052
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 3: I was not even I was kind of like, dude,

1053
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 3: you know some money or I probably had a hospital point. Man.

1054
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: I was feeling jittery from the steroids and like all

1055
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 3: these different medications they put me on, and so now

1056
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: I'm like a zombie kinda. So I started putting the

1057
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 3: mask on and be like, all right, I'm gonna still

1058
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 3: kill it. And so I have my doctor's appointments every

1059
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: other week. I had my session, so I just scheduled

1060
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 3: my session, so Hits Hospital, Grammys Hospital, blah blah blah hospital.

1061
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 3: And then I just got really depressed and I started

1062
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 3: feeling like I don't feel nothing like my whole life

1063
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: I did this, I don't feel I feel nothing. How's

1064
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 3: that impossible? You know? I'm getting calls. Kelly Clarkson was

1065
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 3: working on the Pink Monster media and all these things

1066
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 3: I ever I thought was supposed to be was supposed

1067
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: to be, didn't feel like nothing to me. I said,

00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: too much. They've been like he's back he's back. I'm like,

1081
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: how many years I gotta do to make people know

1082
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 3: that I'm for real? And then and then also I've

1083
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 3: been top lining I'll be keeping it cool man, because

1084
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: I just you know, I was raised to be modest

1085
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: and be humble. But I be like, y'all don't have

Speaker 3: no niggas, don't know like what this is for me

1087
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 3: and what I understand it to be. And so that

1088
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 3: I moved to Nashville years ago, and the Ryane was

1089
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 3: on that too. Uh So I like the new Nashville Surgeons.

1090
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 3: But I'm like I kind of helped get that started,

1112
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,319

1113
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 3: let's go. So I started imitating bors get to the chorus.

1114
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 3: I started emulating songs. I started playing and singing and

1115
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 3: I would joke, but they would be like, that's really good.

1116
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, you're thinking so. And I said,

Speaker 3: you know what, I'm here to do pop music with y'all. Yeah.

1118

Speaker 3: know they got they got. They're not about the money,

1121
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 3: it's just you know, you just have a good time working.

1122
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 3: Rhianna and Chris Brown and Christopher out to be You're

1123
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 3: amazing to work with. Him. So I started working on

1124
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 3: pop songs with them and give them their community, like

1125
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 3: you know, collaborations. And I was like, and they was like,

1126
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 3: we should do country music. I'm like, you don't. I

1127
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 3: don't care. I'm like, y'all, don't don't let me do

1128
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 3: this because I'll do it for real. And so started

1129
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 3: doing it. Rescual Flats girl named Maggie Rose got on

1130
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 3: her project Kelly Clarkson did Mister Notales, hitting both genres

1131
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 3: pop in country. And then at the time, my health

1132
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 3: started getting worse. So I'm now I'm in Nashville, got

1133
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 3: a whole new life. And then I just like, I'm done.

1134
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 3: I can handle the pressure of trying to maintain that

1135
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 3: energy and have a headache. And I started thinking about suicide.

1136
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 3: I was like, I was half I found a new thing,

1137
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 3: and then that ain't complete it. I'm like, yo, what

1138
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 3: is this? Why can't I get around this thing? And

1139
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 3: I just was avoiding it. Man, I was just not

1140
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 3: paying attention to the rules. And it's not like for

1141
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 3: you know, I was drinking. I was somemore gonna do anything,

1142
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 3: taking away as girl I was. I thought I was

1143
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: being a good samaritan.

1144
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: Man.

1145
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna just be here. I'm like,

1146
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: so God, I'm I'm confused about while I'm in this

1147
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 3: space and you put me and get me to talent

1148
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 3: and uh And it was until lifegu life moved on

1149
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 3: and I met the person home with now you know

1150
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And I was almost seeming like seeing

1151
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 3: through a people. You see energies and people. And Jay's

1152
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 3: always been a constant and every time I saw you tanking. Actually,

1153
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 3: after I got out the hospital, I saw y'all I

1154
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 3: think a rock Nation Frinch or something and I was

1155
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 3: skinny of it whatever, and You was like, we need

1156
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 3: you to hear me. We need to hear bro you're good.

1157
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, it was y'all together. He was like,

1158
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 3: we need you hear Come on, man. I was like, thank,

1159
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 3: appreciate it. But I was fresh at the hospital. That's

1160
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 3: that's when I seen you. It was brief. But you

1161
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 3: always make sure y'all tap One thing about y'all is

1162
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 3: like brothers, y'all make sure y'all tap in, and that

1163
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 3: don't it's not happened like that. And I use that

1164
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 3: now when I meet. When I have I measured someone's energy,

1165
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 3: I try to be intentional and be present about it,

1166
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 3: because I was all the other shit man, people turn

1167
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 3: up studios all that, that's cool, But it's like RO,

1168
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 3: It's deeper than that, man, because once you understand the

1169
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 3: deconstruction of life itself, and from my experience, it's like

1170
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: none of this really matters other than like Western Mission.

1171
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 3: And then I remember thinking to myself like, man, I

1172
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: got hits by needs of heal, and so what does

1173
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 3: that look like. I was like, I want to go

1174
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 3: from making hits to healing. Didn't make a hits and

1175
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 3: so I created a nonro profit called Hits Dealing, where

1176
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 3: we reach, we teach, we connect the medical with the community,

1177
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: pharmaceutical with the foundation because there's a whole bunch of

1178
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 3: misconceptions about how communication works within the space of medical

1179
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 3: in our community. Because they all hit me up after

1180
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: my surgery and was like, we would love for you

1181
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 3: to be the frontman to this or to that, and

1182
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't think I'm capable of doing

1183
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 3: that if I don't have the information. So I posted

1184
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 3: my story online and the comments were going up and

1185
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 3: people would hit me up and I was getting messages

1186
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 3: like yo, I have kidney failure. But what would you

1187
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 3: suggest for clinical I was like, WHOA, I don't know.

1188
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 3: I just shared my story and I was like, Okay,

1189
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna do this, I gotta educate myself. So

1190
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 3: I quit how quit music again? I quit music like

1191
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 3: four times. By the way, I was still doing it

1192
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 3: for fun, Like I quit again. This is it, this

1193
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 3: is the moment. Everybody's quitting again. I'm like, he's gonna quit.

1194
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 3: New Revolution, the Revelation and I started teaming up with

1195
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 3: the National Kidney Foundation recently and then neft KRE Kidney Foundation,

1196
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 3: Northwest Kidney Center, America Art Association. I started looking at

1197
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 3: their you know, their their messaging and it was similar

1198
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 3: to my messaging, but they had the power and the

1199
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 3: understanding and the connections. And so I started working with

1200
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 3: them closely. And how did you even get to them?

1201
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 3: Were no check this out? I was on a high

1202
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: profile list and like it on my transplant, but I

1203
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 3: didn't know about that. And so a pharmaceutical company reached

1204
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 3: out to me. So what does that mean? That means

1205
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 3: that they they h they just put you at a

1206
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 3: certain tier, right, didn't know that. I was like, this

1207
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 3: is wild, Like you know who you were I went

1208
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 3: too some system whereas like he is, this is accomplished. Yeah,

1209
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 3: because they need it. They need that, they need because

1210
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 3: they for their funding, their collaborations. But with the truth

1211
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 3: be told, man, it's a lot of people want to help.

1212
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 3: They want to build. I don't know how. I don't

1213
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 3: know how and don't know. And I went in a

1214
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 3: couple of It was one particular organization that I didn't

1215
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 3: like I was working with, and the messaging was just

1216
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 3: I was like, hold on, I read an article and

1217

00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 3: else's dusty hands on the piano keyboards like Brian. I

1219
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 3: was like yes, man. I was like, yo, man, I've

1220

Speaker 3: like you. I can just give you a picture playing

1222
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 3: the piano. And it was like hypertension comes from blah

1223
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 3: blah blah smoking and it was just too close. My

1224
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 3: face was too close to let all the drugs and

1225
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 3: all the things. I was like, yeah, that that's not why.

1226
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 3: And so I had to call them and within like

1227
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 3: an hour, I was on the phone with the whole

1228
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 3: entire in it from this this division, that division, and

1229
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 3: I was just telling them like I think it's a

1230
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 3: lot of tone death energy going on, and it's like,

1231
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 3: what do you mean? It was like, you're not communicating

1232
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 3: with the community. I can tell when these commercials come

1233
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 3: on that they're commercials. I can tell when there's no

1234
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 3: content build around health equity. What'd you do? I said,

1235
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 3: this is what I do. I started a media company

1236
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 3: and I started telling my own stories scoring It's doctor

1237
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: it up, man, I do want to do my shows.

1238
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 3: I play it before and people were just like, oh

1239
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 3: my god, it's human. It's the human experience. And that's

1240
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 3: what I've been up to, man, Like I mean, I'm

1241
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 3: still making hits, but my attention behind it. It's hits

1242
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 3: and using music as a activation to get people interested,

1243
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 3: but really tell my story and help other people tell theirs.

1244
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 3: And also, we ain't got to kill ourselves for music,

1245
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like we know this already,

1246
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 3: but not everything comes from pain, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1247
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 3: there's happy moments that we can take and utilize. And

1248
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 3: so I've been scoring movies and stuff and building in out.

1249
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 3: But I've been tied to some in my first sorry,

1250
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 3: my first grant was come from the Giant Rocket Feller

1251
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 3: front too, and I got to my homiead On. He

1252
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 3: was just like, yo, like I'm loving what's going on.

1253
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 3: Have our conversations and there's a lot of people who

1254
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 3: want to help, and I'm like, cool, let's go. And

1255
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 3: so now that I have that going on and music

1256
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 3: and then also ip in between, so I'm trying to

1257
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 3: understand back to the business. I'm back in my business.

1258
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 3: Shit but crazy now because I'm understanding, like I want

1259
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 3: to build, reach, teach, connect medical centers, and help us

1260
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 3: as a community understand that it's preventive health care. We

1261
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 3: got a genetic test. We got to know, like just

1262
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 3: like we know stats. We got to know our health

1263
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 3: and that's important. So for me, you know, I slip

1264
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 3: up sometimes and just like don't be on it like

1265
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 3: I should. But I check my blood, pursure, I drink

1266
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: my water, get my sleep. I check in, you know,

1267
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 3: and I make sure I'm on the up and up.

1268
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 3: But for the most part, man, this is the new

1269
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 3: chapter for me. It's not like the it's not like

Speaker 1: a similar thing where I felt. I thought I felt amazing.

1274
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: I felt amazing, I looked I looked great. But that

1275
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: blood work, dude says something totally when I say different.

1276
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 3: They was asking me. I was like, so, are you

Speaker 1: charts and I was like, no, you are not.

1284
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: And if we don't, we don't. We don't know how

00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: long whatever you own or whatever it is, is going

1287
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: to last. So we got to get you right from

1288
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: the inside.

1289
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: And that and this is this is this is me

1291
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: at forty something years old, just discovering that. Of course,

1292
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: you go get checked from your doctor and all of

1293
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: these things, but there's so many other answers and questions

1294
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: that you need to ask. That's it, because that's it

1295
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna treat you for. They're gonna treat you for

1296
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: what's happening now.

1297
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 2: And such does this hurt?

1298
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: Yep?

1299
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: Cool, let me fix that. Let me give you something

1300
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: for that. But most of the time, they're not warning you. No,

1301
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: the things around the corner prevented it.

1302
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 3: Because now because you gotta realize it's like for some

1303
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 3: it's smart as clienteles. It was like come on back,

1304
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 3: come on, come back, you know, and it's like experiencing

1305
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 3: that as wild because I never did diallass. I turned

1306
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 3: it down. I was like, you didn't do it, you

1307
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 3: never did. I was like, I'm good, I'm so glad

1308
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 3: you did. I was just like, and I would you know,

1309
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 3: I will always say, do your research, talk to your doctor. No,

1310
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 3: I'm not going to work for you what works for you.

1311
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 3: And for me, I was like, man, what I'm not

1312
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 3: about to do is take my travel restrictions away. I

1313
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 3: didn't came up here and did all this stuff.

1314
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: And you have to decide in your mind how hard

1315
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: you're going to fight to not have to go on diallasas. Yes,

1316
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: that's a different fight, Yep, that's a different clean up. Yeah,

1317
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And that's that's literally what I was

1318
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: doing with and then I'll go back. I was in

1319
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: and out of like binging, like in out burders. I'm like,

1320
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't care no one like then, But I was

1321
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: like you know, water workout.

1322
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 3: I had had a got hired a chef, and then

1323
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 3: I started had a trainer, and I was doing all

1324
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 3: everything I thought I was supposed to do. But I

1325
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 3: was like, I'm not doing it. He's like, there's there's

1326
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 3: ones you can take in your house and look, I'm

1327
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: like this not sexy to me. I'm like, I'm not

1328
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 3: doing this. And maybe it was a moment of where

1329
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't want to inconvenience of having

1330
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 3: to be somewhere else, Like if this, if I'm going out,

1331
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm going out the way I always imagine doing music

1332
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 3: and being free. I didn't. I didn't come in here

1333
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 3: to like to be in a jail in a sense,

1334
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 3: but you know, some people don't have the choice, and

1335
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 3: so yeah, you know, so I still I still work

1336
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 3: with other organizations that's tied to Dallas's, but for me,

1337
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 3: I just want to go and accept it. I was

1338
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 3: like nah. And then it's almost like the therapist was like,

1339
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 3: but you are you depressed? Like he said, are you depressed?

1340
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 3: Like I'm like, nah, should I be? It's like, maybe

1341
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 3: you should be depressed because this is that. And then

1342
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 3: I just had my support system, my brother, and my

1343
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 3: sister Biggie Victor Charlie, all my parents stuff is like

1344
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 3: all right, cool, but I was still like, still feel

1345
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 3: isolated though, because they would never really know because no

1346
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 3: one is checking on you for your medications, like taking medications.

1347
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 3: So I said, it was a battle. It's and and

1348
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 3: it's and it's ongoing. My my transplant is a treatment,

1349
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 3: not an actual care. So I'm still say it again.

1350
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 3: The transplant is just a treatment, but it wasn't a cure.

1351
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 3: It's not a cure, not a care at all. So

1352
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 3: my brother is lifespan, but the fact that my brother

1353
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 3: was an identical match, it was crazy. And so I

1354
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 3: still to take care of it the same way I would,

1355
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 3: you know, any other thing. You know what what percentage

1356
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 3: is is I'm fully functioned now fully functioned. Yeah, he

1357
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,960

Speaker 3: and then there's the plan that guy already has for you.

1367
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 3: And then also it's like not trying to control too

1368
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 3: much because if I had in my mindset, if I

1369
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 3: never went through that because my mom was on the business,

1370
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 3: I was alridy about to flip half of the city.

1371
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna get this house. I mean,

1372
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 3: I was already on this whole monopoly thing. I was like,

1373
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 3: had this vision. But God was like, nah, that's not

1374
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 3: the vision I got, Bro, You're about to sit down.

1375
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 3: You're about to take it. And so it took away

1376
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 3: my ability to care about things that I thought I

1377
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 3: should have cared about. So it kind of slowed me

1378
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 3: down enough to realize that I had to go come

1379
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 3: back to the beginning. So this is actually living at

1380
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 3: the beginning again. However, hits were still being made, you know,

1381
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 3: things were still being going on the residuals, right, and

1382
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 3: so I was able to take that and utilize that

1383
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 3: and started focusing on the future. But uh yeah, straight up, man,

1384
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 3: that's I feel every day I'm alive. I'm like, it's

1385
01:02:58,280 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 3: a blessing, dude.

1386
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 4: So where is it that people that are maybe going

1387
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 4: through some of these certain things, where would you suggest

1388
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 4: that they look into, like what are some good organizations?

1389
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 3: For sure? Yeah, hitstealing dot org. That's what it is. Yeah,

1390
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 3: because what it is is well that and is anything

1391
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 3: that's related to their actual disease. Where are they going

1392
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 3: through there is an organization that's so if it's kidneys

1393
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 3: and it's like all these kidney organizations, if it's you know,

1394
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 3: heart's heart organizations, which is high pretension. But for sure,

1395
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 3: what we're doing and his stealing is just creating more

1396
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 3: accessible and relatable content and conversations. Because the problem with

1397
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 3: I always say doctors are like musicians, Like when musicians jam,

1398
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 3: they're doing it for each other and not the people.

1399
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 3: And doctors are talking to each other, not the people.

1400
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 3: And so for me as a even as a pianist,

1401
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 3: as that correlate. When I play, I want to pour

1402
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 3: into people. I don't care about esthetically, what you brought.

1403
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 2: What you up.

1404
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, you're going somewhere, bro, it's cool. I

1405
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 3: just want to I want to make sure who, including

1406
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 3: the if we affected by it, then I did my job.

1407
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 3: My god, stel freaking enough to say it going. That's

1408
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 3: going down. Man, I've been writing, I've been like composing stuff.

1409
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 3: Everyone's I want to see the magic. I want to

1410
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: see it like you feel it. I can't see it,

1411
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 3: you gotta feel it. And by the time they realized

1412
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 3: it all right, like you know, so that's why I'm

1413
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 3: all right now and just doing the whole thing like that.

1414
