66
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: energy turned up. That was the first ever Angela Day.

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I was saying that this morning. That was Restoration Plaza.

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was fire.

00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 6: And I'm to really be performing alongside Yellow Man because

71
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 6: that's how I got interested in actually starting to get

72
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 6: into music.

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: That is such an interesting story to me, just your

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: history of how you even started doing music and how

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: yellow Man was an influence. Can you just run it

76
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: run it down for us a little.

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 6: Well, it's an interesting story because you know, living in

78
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 6: Jamiica where I was, I was like the lightest complexion

79
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 6: in the neighborhood. So I had to deal with a

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 6: lot of nastyims like you know, red Boy, Red Malata,

81
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 6: you know, red don Ducar, some kind of obliinium. Right,

82
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 6: So when yellow Man gillmo This started to call me yellow,

83
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 6: and it's almost like I felt good because yellow Man

84
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 6: was raining. So I began to feel some sense of confidence,

85
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: like I have like some kind of you know, like

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 6: I don't look so bad, you know, like this yellow thing,

87
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 6: I can't get done with it.

88
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: So I started to sing all these songs.

89
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 6: And then one day, this is about like ten eleven

90
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 6: years old, I started to add my own words to

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 6: his song. And then I realized I had the ability

92
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 6: to write. And then I started to write and started

93
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: to write my own material. And that's all I got.

94
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Just think about that, and now, yeah, that's amazing to

95
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: see how you could turn like something that was painful

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: as a kid, because you know, kids could be really

97
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: mean yes, yes, yes, with the jokes, but it also

98
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: makes you build the tough skin very yeah.

99
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because you know my freckles. They also thought

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 6: I resemble a banana. You know, I used to say specky,

101
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 6: specky banana. I used to have to be these things.

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 5: That's offah.

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know I grew up and up loving,

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 6: never think about myself for us, so it's a good thing.

105
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: You guys had been cool with each other for decades.

106
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: From day one.

107
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, yeah, that's my brother.

108
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: Do you remember when you're first linked up and hurt.

109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: Like that was? That was color color?

110
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because I came here in the mediati is,

111
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 6: so he was already like dominated, dominated, So you know

112
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 6: when I went out, I saw him performing, and then

113
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 6: one day I saw him and we introduced ourselves to

114
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 6: each other because I had my first song out was

115
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 6: at the time, and it was giving me some compliment

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 6: about my song, and you know, we were vibing a

117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 6: little bit time.

118
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: That's how I started, and.

119
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: That's how the crew came together.

120
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yeah, yes, people.

121
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Will act like it, so, you know, because I think

122
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: sometimes we don't look at how people really do come

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: together and help each other out. But y'all was locked

124
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: in from the beginning.

125
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 4: From jump and I do believe first this is something

126
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: I said to people all the time, like we as

127
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 4: a crew, we had nothing, It was nothing planned. So

128
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: I always always said to myself, you know what, the universe,

129
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: some forces out there put us together, and each and

130
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: every individual have like equal talent, Like everybody in the

131
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: crew was wicked lyric shaggy. Yeah, mister easy, mister easy

133
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Yes, that's amazing. I can't even imagine. Don't you wish

134
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: you had. I've seen like little bits of footage, but

135
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: you know how easy it is for people to access,

136
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: like with their phones. Imagine if some of those historical

137
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: moments that you have back then being able to capture

138
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: that it's not as as easy as it is today.

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: But yes, yes, I know you.

140
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: Have some time and unfortunately with you know, we got

141
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: some pictures captured and a lot of footage.

142
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

143
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 6: But some of these places like build more ballroom on church,

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 6: happing with starlight, they had forts, you know, cause we

145
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 6: started before.

146
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: The yeah, you know, get away with a lot.

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 6: You know, they would have a videom dot com sometimes

148
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 6: and capture the moment.

149
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: But it was a bitter sweet thing because h a

150
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: Western Brooklyn.

151
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: It took a while for you guys. Also, you did

152
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: a collaboration album like five years ago, right, and that

153
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,680

Speaker 3: so that.

157
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: Was you can't ever cough when we talk about COVID.

Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But what so what made you guys decide

160
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: that was the time to do it? Just because it's

161
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: something you could have done, you know, like a long

162
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: long time ago. Being the relationship that you have with

163
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: each other and the hit songs that you guys have

164
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: had together.

165
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: I guess I guess.

166
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: The time, and I guess it was that time. And

167
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: again nothing planned, like it's not was not long term plan.

168
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: You know. It was.

169
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: Red Fox and Potexts linked up and they was doing

170
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 4: some some some recordings and decided, you know what, won't

171
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: you just go out full length?

172
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

173
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: Me, I screeched, bug out some songs and put it,

174
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 4: put the album together, and that's how it came about.

175
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, the music business is so different now. I'm

176
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: also thinking about you both had record deals early on

177
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: back in those days.

178
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: Yes, so Electra, Poly.

179
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Yes listen and both of those. I know, Electure doesn't

180
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: exist anymore, you know, it was an elected I think

181
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: old Dirty Bastard was when I yes, okay, and then

182
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: polygrammed Pogram. So I want to know about your deals

183
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: because I know sometimes especially you know, being young, and

184
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: everybody's dream was to sign to a label. And I

185
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: also think at certain times it was hard for some

186
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: labels to know how to even market and promote you know,

187
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: dance hall and reggae music. So I would love to

188
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: hear what your respective experiences was like for you on Elektra.

189
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: What was that.

190
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 6: Well, first and foremost, I want to say a big show,

191
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 6: because I said, I always forget this name and I

192
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 6: don't want to forget it to the rock San Shante, right,

193
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 6: she saw me at a studio Manattan and I was

194
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 6: recording and she told I think his name was Fred

195
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 6: Bogs at Cold Chilling Records. So that was my first

196
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 6: introduction to the mea Jazz where I went up there,

197
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 6: you know, seeking a deal, and then it led me

198
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 6: on to got into Erskine Isaac, who became my manager.

199
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 6: He was working for Famous Artists Agency, and then he

200
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 6: took me to shop and you know, Columbia wanted me

201
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 6: and Electra wanted me. So eventually we went with Electra

202
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 6: because I already did a record with Brand Nubian. I

203
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 6: was on the in God We Trust album, right, and

204
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: then you know I knew Bust really well.

205
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

206
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 6: So you know, it was a classical album, you know,

207
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 6: as a matter fox at the time though, there was

208
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: a big merge between East West Records and Electra Records.

209
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 6: So I think Sylvia Room came in and all the

210
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 6: people that was working the project, you know, they you know,

211
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 6: a lot of them got fired and you know that

212
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 6: kind of like put a little the promotions there. So

213
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 6: but otherwise from that, you know, there's a lot of

214
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 6: classic songs on it, and I believe that I got

215
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 6: enough out of it that propelled me on my journey.

216
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Okay, And what was PolyGram like.

217
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: Well, the PolyGram was an experience.

218
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: It was actually Payday Record, Patrick MAXI Payday Record, and

219
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: I'm distributed by PolyGram, which is London Records, the PolyGram Umbrella.

220
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: But how I got the.

221
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: Deal now, we spoke to We spoke to Patrick Maxi

222
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 4: and Patrick Maxie. When we when we left Patrick Maxy's office,

223
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: we get a call. He said, all right, we're gonna

230

258
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: So I say, yeah, although they will find a way

259
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: to not recoup no matter what.

260
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: No, but guess what, but guess what. No, they gave

261
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: like seventy thousand dollars non recoup pepper w worked that out.

262
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,840

264
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't have to pay nothing back. Okay, I

265
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: like that.

266
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I was early on in your business and

267
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: did it. I'm sure didn't help to have each other

268
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: to to kind of like discuss things.

269
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: With Yeah with PolyGram.

270
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: No, I mean like just having a whole crew oh

271
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: this old.

272
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, m to pass on experience each

273
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 4: other and stuff like that, but nothing getting materialized. Where

274
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 4: with PolyGram we're putting out out.

275
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: But I got myself.

276
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: My manager got fed up and you know, he went

277
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: to pay day with some badanist thing and all of that.

278
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: So so he said, you know what, I'm done with

279
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: this business. So he moved and went to the West

280
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: Coast leave. I was by myself.

281
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, so the so he was done with the business.

282
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you couldn't take anymore because the you know, the

283
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: drama between us and the labor people.

284
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: Don't understand how this business can break you down mentally

285
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: because it's not even just about talent, yeah you know,

286
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: it is so many other things that come into play.

287
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I find myself off the label, by myself,

288
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: I figure it out.

289
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Esh And so then what happened, I was free? Yeah, okay,

290
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like as far as figuring

291
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: it out, You're like, what are the next steps that

292
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: you have to take after that? Because that's also a

293
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: tough position to be in.

294
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: Well, I went back doing what we always do, like

295
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: because I always tell the president of a London record.

296
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: I went to him and.

297
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: I said, yo, Payday are supposed to get a check

298
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: from Payday at certain times, but like months past and

299
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 4: I'm not getting this check. And London is sending the

300
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 4: finance too to Payday and they're holding holding on to

301
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: it for some interest reason I don't know.

302
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: So I went to the I went over.

303
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: Their heads and Patrick MAXI was fist. Yeah, I was like, yo,

304
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: I was Peter Copkey. I was like, mister Copkey before

305
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 4: I signed, my fridge always like loaded with food since

306
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: I signed only one rotten tomato.

307
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: In my friend and it was like laughing.

308
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: I was saying, no, I exaggerated a little bit, but

309
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: it's kind of like that. Mm hmm yeah, just to

310
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: show you I'm not seeing any food come in my way, right, Yeah,

311
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: So we used to we used to tour on our own, yeah,

312
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: and get it and getting by What do you.

313
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: See is a big difference between how touring and the

314
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: music business work back then and now, because obviously now

315
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: you have a lot more of an ability like thinking

316
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: about I know unfortunately it was COVID when the Reset

317
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: came out. Oh yeah yeah, but also just even being

318
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: able to access like your audience or let people know

319
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: what you have going on, or even put out songs

320
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: when you feel like it.

321
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: Ah, the social media platform something probably there's something like

322
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: whatever events going on, you just go live and involved feo,

323
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: you know.

324
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: You know it is like what's his name? Who did

325
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: that d night when D Nice Oh yeah revolutionized that.

326
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: And that definitely is yeah, you know from Jamaican culture

327
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: to be able to do with d Nice, well not

328
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking about versus because that was

329
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: different nice and then awesome versus.

330
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, something like that.

331
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: You know, speaking of versus, like a lot of people,

332
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: most of Jamaicans feel like it is sound class cultures.

333
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: It's a tone for tune.

334
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: Like for and I was thinking, like, do you think

335
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: Jamaican artists do enough gatekeeping when it comes to like

336
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: the soul culture because everybody uses it.

337
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: Dancehol culture from them merge.

338
00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: To now versus to tune even the way DJ is MC. Yeah,

339
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: do dance or artists do enough control of.

340
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: The culture or have enough the artists?

341
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, not too much, not compare to the amount of

342
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: artists out there.

343
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: Not too too many artists.

344
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: When you say have control, I'm just trying to understand.

345
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you have business people. You have because artists.

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: Like the country, right, any country artists come and gotta

347
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: go through Nashville. All right, Okay, if anybody when you

348
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: use your making sounds, there's no one to report to this.

349
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know, there's not a lot of

350
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 6: control over the music because you know, there's still now presently,

351
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 6: the youths are much more eduquette thane.

352
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: Before.

353
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 6: You know, before people used to just produce a song.

354
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 6: You know, you have a little money, you got a

355
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 6: little beat together, you recorded, you put it out, but

356
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 6: there's no copyright, there's no this, there's no doubt.

357
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: It's just you know.

358
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 6: So now the youths are much more knowledgeable, so they're

359
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 6: doing the necessary paper work, you know, stuff like that.

360
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 6: I've been more control over there, you know material.

361
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always been weird to me, how like everybody

362
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: will be on a rhythm and I'm like, who gets

363
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: paid the producer when so many people are using it?

364
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, because I'm it's always confusing.

365
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 5: Well, it's the same.

366
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 4: I mean, if you, if you, if you, if you're

367
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: down with a whatever society it is when ask you

368
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: have some in exchange whatever your registered song, I mean

369
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 4: you know, you could get paid that way, but not

370
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: these days. Yeah, you might have to say fifty billion.

371
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

372
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 6: Like if you hear like about ten artists on the

373
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 6: same beat, that's the produce actually recording the ten artists

374
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 6: on the same beat, saying it's just a thing in

375
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 6: the culture where you know, for the DJs to mix

376
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 6: and then may the best song win type of thing, right,

377
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

378
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 5: But most of the time it's the producer that does.

379
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: It has to be a DJ.

380
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: I mean from that, I mean, when you have a

381
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: couple of songs, like just like Red Fox, if you

382
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 4: have a couple of songs that have some company to

383
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 4: see and reading where everything is hot and everything get played.

384
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 4: So I mean, you know, good for the artists because

385
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: the less known artists is on that track, right, he's

386
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: getting paid from his society whatever society's done with. Get

387
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 4: some exposure, get some exposure. Plus you kind of can

388
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: I check if your people works is intact?

389
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: You know?

390
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean, and I do feel like, especially

391
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: right now, I've seen a lot of artists are able

392
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: to come that previously couldn't come to the United States

393
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: and come out here and like take up and get

394
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: their money and go on tour. And I also feel like,

395
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: just like the eighties and nineties were great, it feels

396
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: like there's like a rebirth in a way right now.

397
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: I feel it too, right, I feel it like.

398
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 6: Me too, me too, I feel it when I explain why,

399
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 6: But I'm feeling something. Yeah, I think after a while,

400
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 6: you know, people want substance again. You know, I'm not

401
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 6: saying that the younger general wasn't bringing substance, but after

402
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 6: a while it got a little bit you know, crazy,

403
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 6: and people are searching once again for something that they

404
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 6: could feel within their soul. And you know, we're opening

405
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 6: that the younger generation now it's paying attention by you know,

406
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 6: researching you know, where we took it from, so that

407
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 6: they could really put some of these elements in the music.

408
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 6: Because before we didn't have a phone, we didn't have

409
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 6: all these social media. We were just completely focused on

410
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: the music itself coming from our souls. You know, we

411
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 6: weren't trying to record ourselves before we go into booth.

412
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 6: We were just thinking about, you know, the vibration. So

413
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 6: you know, we're opening that the youth's moving forward, we'll

414
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 6: more get their energy and you know, soil into what

415
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 6: they're doing instead of just thinking about marketing the sound

416
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 6: before you actually make the song, right, you know, because

417
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 6: we got to.

418
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: Speaking energy because I like thee all tunes give Thanks

419
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: drum song with them boomom shorts.

420
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: It's a specific woman.

421
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: We forget we have to applied him in and not

422
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: too many people knows that that coming from the drum

423
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: song original you know where I'm from, Yeah, original?

424
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: All right, continue, is there one specific woman that songs

425
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: about or is it just women in general? Like was

426
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: there one woman who.

427
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Walked past one day? It was like, you know, how

428
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: did that so even happen?

429
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: You know, let's let's fox elaborate and Fox elaborate.

430
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: The inspiration.

431
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 5: So it was a little an Eastern park and.

432
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, president and and and during these days we would

433
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 6: have big song systems that is set up and we

434
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 6: will just go on freestyle over the beat. And you know,

435
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 6: so there were these girls coming in their carnival outfits,

436
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 6: all right, So Screecher was just joking around while they're passing,

437
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 6: but he was under mic saying.

438
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 5: Girls then so shopping and.

439
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 6: Tell you So, you know, we kind of forgot about

440
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 6: it because it was like a freestyle.

441
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 5: So in the night.

442
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 6: I was listening to the recording this this guy called Paularassi.

443
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: He recorded the whole the whole thing.

444
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 6: So I was listening back and I heard, you know,

445
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 6: Screechy saying it, and I was like, this can work.

446
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 5: So I started to come up with like the boors off.

447
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 5: Then a boom boom shot.

448
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 6: So I saw him at this clash in Bilmore Ballroom

449
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 6: and I told him about it. I said, you remember

450
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 6: that little thing, and then I sang the piece that

451
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 6: I had to it. And then we just went to

452
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 6: the studio with Stinging International and recorded it.

453
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Man, I love it. Organic story like something like that happened.

454
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: It's just freestyling. It was a moment. Those women probably

455
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: don't even know they were the inspiration.

456
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 3: The thing is the magic.

457
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: It hits the charts so quickly, like before we even

458
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 4: started the song. The first the first performance was the Palladium.

459
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: It was a Chamar was on a tour, but we

460
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 4: end up on the the Pilady. I'm part of the

461
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: tour and I don't know the song. So I was like, girls,

462
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 4: you look so I don't even think. I just probably

463
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: said girls, I remember welcoming. After the crowd starts singing

464
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: the whole song.

465
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: You were like, Wow, that's amazing to this day. You know,

466
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: there's a few songs in the culture that's like.

467
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: That Forever party in Florida. I had to play like

468
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: three times.

469
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: I wouldn't write anything because when we went to the

470
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 6: studio would be as a colored song, everything off the

471
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 6: top of her. I'm like, we didn't even like, you know,
