Speaker 1: And we are back here at the Backwoods backstage with

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: none other than the man himself, him.

00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,400

Speaker 1: to set up grills throughout the spot.

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000

00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: Gotta keep us safe, man.

66
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: It's not even just about like, not just the safety,

67
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: just the people who in positions and they taking it

68
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: real serious. It's a few ladies who won't let nobody

69
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: go past the women.

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: Security out here is not playing, that's right.

71
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: I ain't no said nobody come back here.

72
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: I don't care about no rich bands or none of that.

73
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: You got a lot of crazy fans, man, so we

74
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: got to make sure.

75
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: Y'all appreciate it. You know what, I'm saying, appreciate it,

Speaker 3: Gotta keep you all secure.

78
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: Now, you always held one music fest in Atlanta, but

79
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 5: and you've been here quite some time yourself, but you

80
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 5: aren't necessarily an Atlanta native.

81
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 6: You're from New York.

82
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: Why did you choose Atlanta as a place to start

83
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 5: one music fest and continue to make it his home?

84
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

85
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, if you think about it, I don't

86
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: think one music fest could have started anywhere but Atlanta.

87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: But I moved to Atlanta when I was in ninth grade.

88
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: I mean I went to Miller Grove and readam in

89
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: high school period. I mean that's kind of Atlanta as

90
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: you gonna, yeah.

91
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: That's going so. But I mean I think Atlanta is

92
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: a perfect backdrop.

93
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: Man. I mean, this is it's just baby Wakanda phar Real.

94
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I mean, as when you

95
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: look at the black professionals, mayors, U a city council,

96
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, it's it's it's I mean, it's this.

97
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: It breathes black excellence, you know what I'm saying. Could

98
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: this have happened in New York? Honestly, probably not. You

99
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So I think I think this.

100
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: I think Atlanta says the perfect stage for one music

101
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: fest and also a stage to let the world realize

102
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: that black culture is bigger than what media depicts on

103
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: television and and and everything else.

104
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Atlanta just one of them cities. Man. Like you said,

105
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: the black excellence, That's right.

106
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: You will see a black man backing up a fire

107
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: truck like a Cadillac in the.

108
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Middle of the street.

109
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just beautiful. It's love that blackness, ultimate blackness.

110
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: That Janet Jackson said last night.

111
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: Was the chen She crushed the man. You know what

112
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I think she was also a little excited

113
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 4: about being there.

114
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Man.

115
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 4: I mean when you typically think about your your standard

116
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: Janet Jackson audience a crowd.

117
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: It probably don't look like that, you know what I'm saying.

118
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: I mean when the last time we seen the Kodak

119
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: Black Fan Club at a Janet Jackson show, you know

120
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

121
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: So, I think that's the other thing.

122
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: It's it's the unity, man, Like how we just try

123
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: to take different pockets of our culture and just bring

124
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: them together in a safe space to feel celebrated.

125
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm saying.

126
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: But you know, people always ask you when you get

127
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: when you have things like this, It's like, did you

128
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: ever see it this big?

129
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: Uh? I'ma be ima be truthful when we wanted when

130
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: we started building this thing out, I never limited it.

131
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I never said how big

132
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: it can go?

133
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: I mean I was inspired by Bonnerou, by Lollapalooza, by Coachella.

134
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. The first one only had

135
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: like twenty five hundred people. You know what I'm saying.

136
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: We got one hundred thousand people this weekend. Man, So

137
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: can it be? Can it go bigger? Possibly? I'd love

138
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: to see it bigger man.

139
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: So I think too many times black folks, you put

140
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: limitations on how big something can be and how.

141
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: Far can go. I never did that with this brand, man.

142
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: So I think this is a good showing of don't

143
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 4: limit yourself.

144
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: Man, let's keep going.

145
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: It's truly amazing to see what you put together in it.

146
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 6: I see the trickle down effects.

147
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 5: So once Beyonce went on tour with Renaissance, they created

148
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: a term called a halo effect, meaning all the businesses

149
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: that reap benefits because of this event being taken place here.

150
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 5: So it's like it's given opportunities to other business owners,

151
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: entrepreneurs like artists, nail texts, you know, stylists, all these

152
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: people that are employed. But even specifically, I know that

153
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: you yourself made it a point to do that with

154
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 5: one music fat in general were partnering with black brands

155
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: and other businesses. So tell us about like what partnerships

156
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 5: you've made sure that you.

157
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: Wanted to implement.

158
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: No, that's another great question.

159
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: But I mean we got an entire market merchant village

160
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000

00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: the city. That's a big deal, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6: That's so beautiful.

173
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 5: As an Atlanta native like I was, telling last when

174
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 5: we were riding over, Like my mama grew up Boulevard,

175
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: you know what I.

176
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 6: Mean, little girl on the project.

177
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 5: So just to be riding through, to come to a

178
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: black owned event at this magnitude, and to be as

179
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: a creative, a black creative doing don't work with brands

180
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: that see the potential in the in the value in us.

181
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: It's a real moment.

182
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: It is absolutely you know, even even backwards being here,

183
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: I mean, this was brought here by a black owned agency,

184
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

185
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: The you know, some of the other brands that we

186
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: worked with.

187
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: We got Proctor and Gamble out here, we got Coca

188
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: Cola and Spright out here.

189
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

190
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: The executives that's out here from those companies that understand

191
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: the important to this are black. Like we've been pushing

192
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: one of the festive brands for for years, you know.

193
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: But the problem is the people.

194
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: That was in those in those offices that we were

195
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 4: talking to don't look like us, so they don't understand

196
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: the value.

197
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: We set. The trends, you know what I'm saying.

198
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: From goddamn the TVs in your cars, We were doing

199
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: that before it was called the entertainment cho.

200
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want the factory package or you want the

201
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: sport package. We started that, you know what I'm saying.

202
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: So we set the trends, but we don't get credit

203
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: for that, you know what I'm saying. So certain executives

204
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: understand our importance to the culture, to economics, to the economy,

205
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: so they understand the points of what we're doing here

206
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: and black culture altogether.

207
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it takes other Black creatives like yourself

208
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 5: that start ideas to make sure they're intentional.

209
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 6: About incorporating us and highlighting us in the best way possible,

210
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 6: the entire way through.

211
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 5: And I know that you also have like an HBCU

212
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: background graduating from family. So did that going to an

213
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 5: hbc you ever shaped your mind or thought process when

214
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 5: it came to like how you went about your business.

215
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: I ain't change my life going to family, you know

216
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

217
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 4: I mean, I grew up my younger years I was

218
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: in Harlem and then coming to Atlanta still was a

219
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 4: black experience, but I ain't never seen nothing like fam

220
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: at that age. I saw a FAMU for the first

221
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: time when I was like fifteen. I saw the campus beautiful,

222
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: black people ever educated.

223
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: Black folks, palm trees. It blew my mind.

224
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: You know, I was meeting black folks from Portland, black

225
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: folks from London, black folks from Toronto.

226
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

227
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: Delaware folks, you don't you know so understanding that, you know,

228
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: the different cultures and energies of of that black experience

229
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 4: in different cities, all culminating in one spot in Tallahassee, Florida.

230
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: But you know what it's it was.

231
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: It was very similar to to One Music Fest. It

232
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: was a safe place to win in, a safe place

233
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: to fail, and a safe place to collaborate with other

234
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: black folks, you know, like minded black folks. And and

235
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: I was really one of the reasons for One Music

236
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: Fest as well. How do I bring us all together,

237
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying and kind of create that connectivity.

238
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 4: And I just think so much powerful stuff comes from connectivity.

239
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: And uh and in that intersection of blackness and culture.

240
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,880

286
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: I think you in certain environments and you know, it

287
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: just feels special.

288
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: So I know it to them it feels special.

289
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: But but representation is is is hell of important, you

Speaker 5: What I'm saying, even as adults like me and my

300
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: homegirl shed another host ready of personality. We stopped over

00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 5: we didn't grow up with it and see it, We're like, dang,

310
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: this is amazing that it everbody empowers us as people

311
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: to know that we can because I think black businesses

312
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: or even sometimes gets such a bad rep with our

313
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: customer service, or if we have the logistics down all

314
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: the way right the first time. But what advice would

315
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 5: you give to other creatives and entrepreneurs that's starting. It's like, hey,

317
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 5: I'm trying to.

318
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: Figure it out. Because what means the best didn't start

319
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 6: at pe.

320
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: Mind, Nah, not at all.

321
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: I would say persistent to keep going, you know what

322
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I mean when y'all started the podcast, like

323
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: how many how many listeners. How many streams do y'all

324
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: get That's a real question versus like where y'all at now.

325
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: But I think the name of the game is consistency,

326
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And you knew the endgame.

327
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: I don't know if you that you're gonna be selling

328
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 4: millions of dollars of merch, you know what I'm saying, numbers.

329
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: I'm let me not blow here. Security We did, all right,

330
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: but but you know what, y'all had no idea that

331
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: is gonna lead two tours, that's gonna lead to the

332
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: merch business, that's gonna lead to you know, having your

333
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: own digital platform, you know what I'm saying.

334
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: So I think it's consistency, man.

335
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: I think it's it's it's you're gonna hit some bumps,

336
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

337
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: Y'all done change out.

338
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: The office, the location of the studios for whatever reason.

339
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: You know, we changed location for the festival for whatever reason.

340
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: You know.

341
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: I mean, hell, we lost money the first five years,

342
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: and if I would have.

343
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: Stopped, you know shit, we would be obviously wouldn't be

344
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: sitting here right now.

345
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: So I think it's just consistency. A lot of times

346
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: we try to talk to people.

347
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 4: That's I don't want to say above us, but maybe

348
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: more powerful and in a better position, more resources, more resources.

349
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: But sometimes the resources up is just looking left and

350
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: right right.

351
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: And that's what I had to do because initiate with

352
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 4: the idea, you know.

353
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: What I'm saying.

354
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 4: I went to a big ass company with this idea

355
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: because I knew I needed a lot of money to

356
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: pull this thing off.

357
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: And they was like that shit ain't gonna work.

358
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: I said, all right, cool, And these are folks that

359
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: didn't look like us, and so I said, let me

360
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: just go to the homies in My homie over here,

361
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: he's in he's in the music industry. My homie over

362
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: here owns a couple of venues. My homie over here

363
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: has a has a transportation business. My homie over here,

364
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 4: uh understands lights and and production.

365
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: Well, hell, why can't we just figure this out together?

366
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 4: We got we gotta pull, you gotta pull together, my

367
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: mayor black, let me call and get the.

368
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: Permis from them and the license license that I need.

369
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: So I just use the resources around me and uh,

370
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: and I said, fuck it, you know, we'll.

371
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: Do it ourselves. And that's really that's really what it was.

372
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 4: It's just staying consistent and sometimes looking looking lateral instead

373
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: of looking up all the time.

374
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what's the next step.

375
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Are we gonna take this thing to the media or

376
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna put one music fest on? Is it a

377
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: TV show? Is it a is it a live stream?

378
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: What's the next step that is?

379
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? So definitely.

380
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: So we got a few folks out here now that's

381
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: kind of examining one music Fest for the live stream experience.

382
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: So I would say next year probably will be live stream.

383
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: We're gonna do a spin off event in UH in

384
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: the Southwest as well.

385
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: UH.

386
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of cameras out there, so there's

387
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 4: there's a documentary being being.

388
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: The US to put together now as well.

389
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you be interested in doing like a one

390
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: music fist, like a whole school type, an old school joint.

391
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: The oldies music you just had Elder Bars I what.

392
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying, the whole joint, but.

393
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 5: Like that, but like just us Patty classics.

394
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: Give you give me an example of the classic.

395
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: That clean up, that Saturday morning clean up.

396
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 5: I'm telling you the people like you got Jill Scott's,

397
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 5: you got Patty Labelle's. You got Diana Ross, you got

398
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 5: Elder Bars, you Gotley Brothers like.

399
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: This, you know, I think so, I do think that.

400
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 4: I think that exists to a to a point, I

401
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 4: think that already exists.

402
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: But but I love the idea.

403
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: Have a Carter version though, But this is the J.

404
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: Carter verge, right, So it is Janet Jackson. You know

405
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I think that's the I think that's

406
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: the power of it. Man.

407
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 4: Like when you go to like a like and no

408
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 4: shade to rolling loud. You know what I'm saying.

409
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: You ain't nobody even rolling loud or.

410
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: They're rolling loud on them, they rolling, But it's it's young, right, right,

411
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 4: Like if I was to go there, I'd probably be like, man,

412
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: give me the fuck.

413
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: Out this mospit, you know what I'm saying.

414
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 4: But I think I think when you have, you know, uh,

415
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 4: an experience where you got a Semino fan base, a

416
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 4: Meghan fan base that also can pull up and enjoy

417
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 4: somebody like an Elder Bars, somebody like a Janet Jackson,

418
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 4: somebody like a uh a Big Daddy Kane on other stage,

419
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: Like it almost feel like a Roman museum, a black culture, right,

420
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like, open these young minds

421
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 4: up to Like, yeah, that that that sample you heard

422
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 4: on that on that track that you love.

423
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 3: That that that that Travis track.

424
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that was Elder Bars Young Young Cat, Yeah

425
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: that was that.

426
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: That that came from brand Newbian who just performed on

427
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 3: that stage. So I think, yeah, Pool just walking.

428
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: Around chill, Okay, y'all, Lord Jamar, how it came through

429
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: on his couch came through.

430
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: That was awesome. That's all. That's what it's supposed to be.

431
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 6: Man, Are you intentional about that?

432
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 5: From the start of it though, Like I wanted to

433
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 5: be all inclusive of him.

434
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

435
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: The tagline from day one was unity through music, and uh,

436
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 4: I just I think there's so much more power that

437
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 4: we gained from from collaborative efforts, you know what I'm saying.

438
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: So if I only move in certain spaces that I'm.

439
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 4: Only gonna get what I'm gonna get from that group,

440
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But if I but now,

441
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 4: if I put y'all in the space with y'all, got

442
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 4: proct and Gamble standing over here. Proct and Gamble is

443
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 4: the biggest advertising not in America in the world in

444
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: the world world, like they dwarfed everybody in marketing dollars

445
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 4: by billions of dollars. You know what I'm saying, Like,

446
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 4: would you be in that space at a rolling loud.

447
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: Probably not. Probably sit on the couch.

448
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: And bring me about six hundred million dollars.

449
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: I guess some stuff I love advert you know what

450
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

451
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: So I think I think it's being I think getting

452
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 4: out of what we're used to and being in different spaces.

453
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like you said, we need the spaces to

454
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: be able to do that.

455
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's what it is.

456
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 5: That for sure, And I think you don't even realize

457
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: how you do need it because as a creative, myself and.

458
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 6: Other musician, young musician Money Loan, we were over there

459
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 6: watching Janet last night.

460
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 5: We were like, this is so amazing that we get

461
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 5: to learn from another. And she's telling me how she's

462
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: learning as an artist right now watching her, and I'm

463
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: telling her like even as a creative, I'm learning from

464
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 5: her performance and how she's engaging and other little things. So,

465
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 5: like you said, just bridging that gap, even as on

466
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 5: the creative side, like to bring old school and new

467
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 5: school or just you know what I mean. Wrapping all together.

468
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 5: That's what the dope.

469
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 6: I like how intentional you work throughout the entire process.

470
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you so man.

471
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: And after seeing how you rock and how you put

472
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: stuff together, I hate that it's only one time that

473
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: we get to come here.
