59
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: period where we go in the studio and like we recorded.

60
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,200

63
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: I have to do is pick songs that I have record,

64
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Pick the vibe. And when

65
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: we're thinking about the album name and the the theme

66
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, it was like, what time is

67
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: that already? I was like, you know what, my boys like,

68
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,919

69
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: the fifth album, right, you know. Five is the symbol

70
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: of hope. You know what I'm saying, It's my favorite number,

71
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: my lucky number. It signifies, it signifies a lot of

72
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: other things, you know saying. So we're like, yo, it'll

73
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: be dope, you know what I'm saying. We could do

74
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: a nice rollout with it. So it was just about

75
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, picking songs. But with this album, I was

76
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, I used to be a producer. So with

77
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: this album, I really you know, focused on production. I

78
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: feel like that you were hands on. I feel like

79
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: all the nos. Yeah, a lot like into the production,

80
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: went into the production. But we excited, you know, about

81
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: to get back on the road again, and yeah we're

00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: just out here in elation in the video. Yo.

83
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: When like for you, like taking the approach to be

84
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: more hands on on the production with your background for

85
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: this album isn't like like you said, the fans will

86
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: be able to tell the difference, but for you, is

87
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: it like because I feel like so many of our

88
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: favorite artists are so multi talented, like j Cole came

89
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: in the game producing a lot of his own.

90
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Shit, you know what I'm saying, Like my first single.

91
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: Producer, it's got to feel a lot more personal to

92
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: you to put a body of workout that you have

93
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: your fingerprints all the way in for real, you know

94
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: what I mean.

95
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when you like, like I'm around a good

96
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: space now musically, Like I've met some real dope producers,

97
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: co producers as well writers, you know what I'm saying.

98
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like with this album, it was a

99
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: lot of you know unity, right, you know that that

100
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: came into the process of making this album. Another thing

101
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: I like about it is that, you know what I'm saying,

102
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: we didn't rush. The album was actually meant to come

103
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: out last year. You know what I'm saying, We've been

104
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: done since last year. But my team and I were

105
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, let's take our time. You

106
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's not rush, that's playing well.

107
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. The music has always been there,

108
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So with this one, you know,

109
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: we took our time and I feel like, you know,

110
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: we selected the perfect set of songs. It's about to

111
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: hear that.

112
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: Talk to me about getting married, because I got married

113
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. It's a big step in life. Yes,

114
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: especially for somebody like yourself, who's you know you got,

115
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: you got so much going on, and I feel like,

116
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: especially for somebody who's got some sort of public notoriety

117
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: and a level of success. I'm sure it's a lot

118
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: more harder to like find that person through all the

119
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: shit that comes your way. What made you kind of,

120
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: you know, say this is my soulmate this time.

121
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm one of the lucky ones because like

122
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: me and my partner, like, we've been together for a

123
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: long time prior to so she's been rocking with you

124
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: for a month to get married, you know what I'm saying.

125
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: So we've been living together since we were like basically,

126
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: so she saw the glow up. Yes, you know what

127
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was a little bit you know what

128
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And I met but I was young. I

129
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: was very young, you know what I'm saying. I was like,

130
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: well my third year in college or so. Yeah, and

131
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: that's what we met. Went to the same school. So

132
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: I think I was it was lucky enough, you know,

133
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: for us to move in together early, very early, like

134
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like eight years before you know what

135
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Even getting married, for sure, the transition from

136
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: it's still different. You know, getting married is still no joke,

137
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: like you said. But and you know we have you've

138
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: had three kids. So it's like the transition from you know,

139
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: living together, first of all, being good friends. I feel

140
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: like that's best, the number one thing that's very important,

141
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: and then transitioning to living together, which is a huge step. Yes,

142
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: living together. And throughout all the time we was living together,

143
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: I was touring on the Yeah, I was really on

144
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: the road like every like real, real busy. So I

146
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: is what I gotta do to work, you know what

00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And she also knows that that's one of

148
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: the most happiest moments of my life is when I'm working.

149
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: She knows I love you know, music, just like when

150
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: she's in the kitchen. She's a chef, you know what

Speaker 2: When I first moved in with her, she's a hell

156
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 2: of a cook, and all I was eating was Mexican

157
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: food because she she's Mexican. I like, I put like

158
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: fifty pounds on in two years. Man, just fucking up

159
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: my wife's food. I had to slow down.

160
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Crazy. Yeah, so that transition wasn't too crazy for me.

161
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, you know what I'm saying, just

162
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: having to be you know, being such a you know,

163
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of popular people are real vulnerable,

164
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So just having to be

165
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: careful doing that. You know what I'm saying. Now, this

166
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: is bind the union for sure. What I'm saying. We

167
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: had a whole wedding. We've invited everybody from all across

168
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: the world to celebrate. Where was the wedding at and

169
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Nigeria fire. It was on some crazies wounded ship like

170
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: some mad crazy like it was like a holiday, yeah ja,

171
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: like that was one of the best days in my life.

172
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Anybody flowing from all over the world. So just even

173
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: looking at my kids, you know, my daughters again older,

174
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: they got to go to school. My daughters, both of

175
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: them have iPhones. You know what I'm saying on TikTok,

176
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So as we get older,

177
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: obviously having to be mindful of you know, things we

178
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: kind of do in the public eye.

179
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Of course they could see it.

180
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, as well as also you know, juggling the other

181
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: side of it being a superstar, right, and this is

00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,320

Speaker 1: in the bucks and right as well. You know what

184
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440

185
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm married, but it's like, you know what I'm saying,

186
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: But you're an entertainer, yes, but she's always been around that.

187
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. That's important. Man.

188
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,240

189
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are, for sure.

190
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,320

201
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,520

00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: we use our hands to eat it, dip it.

203
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,040

Speaker 2: Yeah, they got good food. Man that curry, man curry.

210
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah that curry be hidden yo, something that's dope. Your

211
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: dad he open the power plan that gave three million

212
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: people power in Africa?

213
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Was it through? I don't know exactly.

214
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: I saw something like it. If the capabilities are up

215
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: to get like essentially helpteen percent helping three million people

216
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,239
Speaker 2: have access to power.

217
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: Fifteen percent of the electricy that we build them one

218
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: more and when that is completed, I think we're going

219
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: to be supplying about if not more, I think the

220
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: number is like fifty percent.

221
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: It's a big deal.

222
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, of like I think to West Africa, all Ninegeria.

223
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about the number, but like, how cool

224
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: is that? Because like for people who don't know, I

225
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: mean a lot of your fans know about your pops.

226
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 2: Your pops is very successful.

227
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: Yeah guy, you know.

228
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: But I think it's important to be able to highlight

229
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: like not only are you who you are, but your

230
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: family is also like helping a lot of people.

231
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: It's crazy, and I've seen them build that from just

232
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: being young. I remember him just having the idea. A

233
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 1: lot of people discouraged them from the idea because he

234
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: was a banker, right and that was going so well

235
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: for him already, so like they said, if it ain't broke.

236
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: Them right, right right.

237
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: And then he just always believes in just a power generation,

238
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: which is electricity of course, et cetera. So yeah, he's

239
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: more working on this project. I remember him going to

240
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: China on trips to get like investors and stuff like that,

241
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: and then I remember the first one coming, the second one,

242
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and then we just getting lit.

243
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: It's like, you know what I'm saying, Like quite literally

244
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: a lot of people are getting so.

245
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: And eventually they became something the country dependent on. You

246
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Oh, let me just move. They

247
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: became you know, the power plans became something the country

248
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: eventually dependent on. You know what I'm saying. It's just

249
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: like right now, before all their electric cars all around America,

250
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: somebody had had had the idea to have a charging station,

251
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: but like nine.

252
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Years ago, it wasn't it was it wasn't a thing.

253
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: Now but now it's no thing, you know, supplying their

254
00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: minds amazing.

255
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: So I saw him just blossom into that, you know,

256
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: an electricity tycoon that he is, and it's just amazing.

257
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: It's funny too, because you told the story last time

258
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: you were here about how you were kind of like

259
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: on the run, kind of from your parents when you

260
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: dipped out from school. Yeah, do you remember, because you're

261
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: because with your dad being who he is, like, at

262
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: what point in time did he fully say, Okay, son,

263
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: you're onto something with this shit.

264
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't there like the exact time, but

265
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: everybody just had that feeling. I feel like it wasn't

266
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: even a feeling about him feeling that way. Yeah, I

267
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: think everybody felt that way. Yeah, like it's undeniable. It

268
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: was like it was like a mutual feeling, not only

269
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: in the country and my family, to my peers, everybody,

270
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: and you're like, yo, you know when you have something,

271
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: and everybody like they don't have to tell you, you

272
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it did get to that

273
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: point where he was like like I couldn't even really

274
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: be in school.

275
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: I was distracted because you could have worked for him

276
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: and kicked it easy, you know.

277
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. But this is what I love, like,

278
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: this is what gave me them, this is what gave

279
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: me energy. You know what I'm saying. You know, this

280
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: is what I was about music. So it was kind

281
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: of too late by the time, you know, he wanted

282
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: me to, you know, do something else. But I always

283
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: say that he was never really against me being an entertainer.

284
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: He was just big on principally, big big on education, principled.

285
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: It's it's my family. You go to school, you finish

286
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: up on time, and there's an office waiting for you.

287
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: It's just this is how it goes. I'm the last

288
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: kid of five, you know what I'm saying. So for me,

289
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: it much happening. You have five kids.

290
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: The first kid they're they're following, they're following suits, and

291
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: the last kids like, Nope, I'm gonna go sing the

292
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: last one.

293
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, I'm like, I'm

294
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna go sing.

295
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: And then it worked out.

296
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Though it worked out, you know what I'm saying. He's very,

297
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: very active involved in my career at the moment, you

298
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's been blessed to have

299
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: him in my life over the years.

300
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: Did he get the album first?

301
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Of course, he's heard everything. What I do when I

302
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: get the link, Like when I finally decide, like, okay,

303
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: this is these other songs, Like the album is seventeen songs.

304
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: So I put a link of like forty songs and

305
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: I send it to my family.

306
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: Members, the crew, all the homies, Hey check it out.

388
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: the Caribbean, you know what I'm saying, And that's real.

00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: So it's I just came from Trinidad Tobago. You know,
