Speaker 8: eleven years.

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,680

Speaker 5: in London, but I came to America when I was

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,000

00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 5: dmv PG county. I DK stands for ignorantly delivering knowledge.

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 7: I've always liked that acronym because I totally understand what

42
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 7: you mean when you say that, because I always say,

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 7: you got to be the perfect balance of ratchetess and

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 7: righteously delivering knowledge is like saying I got to put

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 7: the medicine in the right.

46
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Right kind of like that. Yeah, it was.

47
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 5: I was actually in prison when I came up with

48
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: that acronym, and so I was in the state prison

49
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 5: when I was younger, and I came up with the

50
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: acronym ignorantly Delivering Knowledge because I wanted people to be like,

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 5: what does I d K stand for?

52
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Like does that mean? I don't know?

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 5: And I always feel like if I prompt somebody to

54
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 5: ask a question and I answer it, you're more likely

55
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 5: to remember it than me just telling you you feel me?

56
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: Why did you get into rap?

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, I was going to say, you went to

58
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 9: you mentioned prison? Yeah there, you went to prison the

59
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 9: same year that you went to college.

60
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, one of the times I went, because

61
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: it was yeah.

62
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, So let's talk about the first time.

63
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 9: And then I want to know how the whole I'm

64
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 9: going to college but then I end up in prison,

65
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 9: Like what's that story?

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 6: How does that try?

67
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 1: Man?

68
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 5: First of all, I come from like a West African background,

69
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 5: so my mom, sincerely all, my dad from Ghana. I'm

70
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: literally the first person in my family to get locked up.

71
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: But that's not a good thing.

72
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, but also first person prison is not

73
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 5: a good thing. Fair, But you know, I turned it around,

74
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: so at the same time, that's true. But yeah, that

75
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 5: kind of was like something like you know, when I

76
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: was seventeen, I got jammed up, had some charges, you know,

77
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 5: stuff to do with you know, you know, robberies and

78
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 5: guns and things like that, and then pretty much I

79
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: went to prison of jail. But the thing was I

80
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 5: was on I got sentenced to fifteen years suspended the

81
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 5: three and they allowed me to do it on home detention,

82
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: but getting in trouble on violations and technical things.

83
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: But you made me, Yeah that's how I When did

84
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: you start rapping?

85
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: What made you say?

86
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: You know what, I want to lead the streets alone

87
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: and focus on this rap career.

88
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: I mean the first time I got locked up, I

89
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: realized it wasn't for me, like right away, like I

90
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: was like, no, no, I can't do this.

91
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: So you know you went back through more times.

92
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was like violation technical stuff. It was

93
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: like I'm not judging coming no, no, no, no, no times

94
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: judging technical though. It wasn't like I kept doing things.

95
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: It was just violations and stuff like that. But basically

96
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 5: the last time I was in before I went in,

97
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: I was listening to like Kendrick Lamar and like Jay Cole,

98
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: and you know where I'm from, people don't really listen

99
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 5: to that. But I had a friend that went to

100
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 5: like fam you and he would come back with like

101
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: more I would say eclectic rap, and I was like,

102
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 5: oh man, people rap like this, That's that's interesting. So

103
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 5: I remember being in prison. I was a tutor, so

104
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 5: I helped people get their GEDs, and also it was

105
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: a barber, and I just remember I would just write

106
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 5: music and everybody would listen, like see me like bobbing

107
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 5: my head right, and they'd be like, yo, spit rap,

108
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 5: like like I ain't know you rapped like and so

109
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 5: one day I just did it, and I was like, man,

110
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: if I could make people that's pissed off in prison

111
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: like music, maybe maybe it'll work for me when I

112
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: get out.

113
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: What lifestyle changes did you make?

114
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 7: Though, because you know, my dad used to always tell me,

115
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 7: if you don't change your lifestyle, you gonna end up

116
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 7: in jail, dead or.

117
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: Broke, sitting on the tree. What lifestyle changes did you mean?

118
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 5: I just started feeling like I needed to actually get

119
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 5: a job, So when I first got out, I didn't

120
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: care what it was. Actually my first job was McDonald's.

121
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 5: I was proud to go to McDonald's and word up

122
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: to be honest, like because I was like, man, I

123
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 5: got a job, I got like, you know, some type

124
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: of purpose, like let me try to just turn this around.

125
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: So that was like probably the first big one.

126
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 5: And then trying to go to school, like I was

127
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 5: going to PG Community College, So getting back in school

128
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 5: was another thing.

129
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 8: But for the first time that you went to jail,

130
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 8: what would you attribute like the why to Would you

131
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 8: say it was like the internet? Would you say it

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 8: was just your environment?

133
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: So it was the want for love.

134
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: Like my parents loved me, but I didn't know how

135
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: to comprehend the way they gave me love. Right, So

136
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: I never got great grades. I grew up middle class,

137
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 5: but I was surrounded by the hood and I went

138
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 5: to school in the hood, so I identified more with

139
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 5: the people that also didn't get good grades, and that

140
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: that comes with a lot of stuff because they coming

141
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 5: from different backgrounds and they doing different things. So I

142
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 5: felt like whenever I would do something bad, they would

143
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 5: show me respect, and that was the love that I wanted.

144
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 7: I'm glad you got had the explanation quick, because saying

145
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 7: you want to go to jail for love is crazy.

146
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: No, right, I'm glad. I'm glad that like you understand

147
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 5: like this nuance.

148
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: That you know what I mean?

149
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: So I was going to ask, you know, when you

150
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: started rapping, what did your family say at first?

151
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Right?

152
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 4: Were they behind you the whole way? They was like here, you.

153
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Know what, No, it wasn't as bad as you would think.

154
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right, it was like how much worse could this be?

155
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: They couldn't get no worse than what I already did.

156
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 5: So my mom was just happy I was doing something positive,

157
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 5: got you, you know. But she she passed away. She

158
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 5: never she never got to listen. Well, she's got to

159
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: listen to my music. She heard it once and she

160
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: was like, but she would brag about it, but she

161
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: would never listen to like to Like, my mom till

162
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: she passed never heard me curse, Like I never said

163
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: a curse word around her, But in my music.

164
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 8: What does it sound sound like at the time, because

165
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 8: you really dibble and dabble in all different genres, all

166
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 8: different sounds.

167
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: So what did she hear?

168
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: A lot of cursing, a lot of bad words, like

169
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 5: a lot of rap like I was just you know,

170
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: just rap.

171
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.

172
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it depends on how you because like again, the

173
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: whole ignorantly delivering all this thing. Depending on how you

174
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: first hear me, You'll think I'm one thing and it

175
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 5: might not be that.

176
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 7: You know, and you're growing in real time, right, cause's

177
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 7: like it's your fifth studio.

178
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this would be my fifth one. Yeah, what's the what's.

179
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 7: The evolution of id K Ben from that first project

180
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 7: to know?

181
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 5: It's like just this this idea of like finding like

182
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 5: what I actually want to express sonically. So I feel

183
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: like I've always been dibbling, dabbling, dibbling and dabbling in

184
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 5: different types of music, but this now is more like

185
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 5: I'm creating a sound, like a feeling.

186
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: You know.

187
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 5: It's like taking like a certain melodic like element and

188
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: then trying to put like different drums around it, maybe

189
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: to switch the genre up, but the feeling is constant, consistent.

190
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: That's probably the biggest thing that I've grown into now.

191
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: On is He Here? Is He Real?

192
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: Album?

193
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at some of the features on it

194
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: that people don't know. You had DMX on that album.

195
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well that was Actually it's so funny because I

196
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: have something with him that we're getting ready to put together.

197
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: But on that album specifically, it was something that I

198
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 5: sampled a prayer he did but I had to chase

199
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 5: him down like at south By Southwest and pull up

200
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 5: on him to get it clear, like yo, yo, I'm

201
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: alrighty K. So I had to find him.

202
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: How was that conversation?

203
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: He know who I was at that time?

204
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: Are you on the Prayer album that they got drop?

205
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 5: No, I'm not on that? The feature for him after those,

206
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: so he got to know who I was after that.

207
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 5: I did a feature for him prior to him passing.

208
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: Did you have a relationship at all?

209
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 5: Like small, like just kind of through like you know,

210
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 5: people that we knew and things like that.

211
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was.

212
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 9: A conversation like when you ran up on him and

213
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 9: it was like, hey, I'm trying to get this cleared.

214
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: He was like it's done, literally just like that, like

215
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: you go to the bullshit. He was like, all right,

216
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: who I gotta go? Yeah, basically pretty much and he

217
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: got it done.

218
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 7: On the coolest What is I know that I knew?

219
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 7: I was called bravado and in timo, what does timo me?

220
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 5: It's like, uh, the Italian word for intimate, So bravado

221
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: is like kind of like bragged oshs, you know, talking

222
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 5: about stuff. But the intimo part is where it comes

223
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: from like like a lot of like why I care,

224
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 5: Like I like, you know, wearing certain things, and I like,

225
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: you know, style things like that, And it comes from

226
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 5: the like being made fun of when I was like

227
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 5: in the sixth grade but not having certain things. And

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 5: I just remember being like a kid going to school

229
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 5: depressed because I know they're gonna make fun of me.

230
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: So I remember ninth grade. That's before I started getting

231
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 5: into trouble and you know, and getting money. I literally

232
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 5: said to myself, I will never be made fun of

233
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 5: for dressing that ever again, for the rest of my life.

234
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 5: And that's that's explains the bravado side, because the bravado

235
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: side is you just see it. You just see the

236
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 5: floss and all that. But the intimo side is where

237
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 5: it comes from.

238
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: So and then you get money and realize you don't

239
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: even care about clothes.

240
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 5: Like that, right, that also starts to happen too, you

241
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like it's like you like stuff,

242
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: but like people put me in a fashion world because

243
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 5: I do a lot of stuff in that world, but

244
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: it's not by choice, Like I just know people they

245
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: like what I do, and you know, and then they

246
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: just asked me to do things, but I don't try

247
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: to do that get you could just do it, yeah, exactly.

248
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 6: Now another feature, you had Kanye West on the song

249
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 6: Celena and TRAPPI.

250
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: Well, no, that was another sample situation where pretty much

251
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: we got that was a crazy one because it was

252
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 5: a jay Z song initially, so it was everybody had

253
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: to kind.

254
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 9: Of that process, like because Kanye is kind of hard

255
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 9: to it wasn't as fast as the DMX.

256
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 5: Well maybe, yeah, it took a little while actually, but

257
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: I'll be real, like, Yay has reached out to me

258
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: and I've I've hung out with him multiple times, like,

259
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 5: so you know, it's not that that one is a

260
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 5: little different that I remember when I dropped is he real?

261
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: I was with eighty eight Keys.

262
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: And uh and and and and eighty eight comes up

263
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 5: to me and passes me the phone from my unknown

264
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 5: number and I answered and it's like Yo, it's Yay

265
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 5: And I'm like oh, and he was just like I've

266
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 5: been hearing about your album. It wasn't out at the time.

267
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 5: He's like, man, at some point today, I'd love to

268
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 5: connect with you. And next thing you know, I was

269
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 5: in Calabasas, uh, just hanging out at the crib you know,

270
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 5: so yeah, yay yay had had shown love and I've

271
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 5: actually like linked up him a.

272
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 8: Couple of times on a new project. What would you

273
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 8: say is your favorite record?

274
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: Miles Trumpet?

275
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: I like that one a lot because I'm singing, you know,

276
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 5: and I'm like kind of like that's a beat where

277
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 5: I listened to it. I'm like, I hear Griselda on

278
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: this beat, so instead of doing what they would do,

279
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 5: let me just sing.

280
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 6: It seems like a fan favorite too. I really like Check.

281
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 6: I feel like Check.

282
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 8: It's braggadocious, it's swaggy. Yeah, but on it well, first

283
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 8: of all, actually the music video who came up with

284
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 8: the concept for that? Like why is it just a

285
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 8: girl shaking her ass the whole time? I'm really trying

286
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 8: to like what are you giving?

287
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: Well?

288
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 5: The great part about that one is like ignorantly delivering.

289
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 5: Now it's just a juxtaposition, like when I hear that

290
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 5: beat in that song, I'm really rapping, so you don't

291
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: really see that happening, but there has the I think

292
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: the rhythm is what I wanted to articulate by having

293
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 5: her do that. You know, because you listen to it,

294
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 5: you don't think you could do that to that song,

295
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 5: but then when you see it do it, you realize

296
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: you can, you know. So that was what that was about.

297
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: Were you a fan of out Davis all your parents.

298
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Were, Well? Yeah, I mean, like I have, you know,

299
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: records from him.

300
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: But I'll say this, I've heard a few different things,

301
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 5: and everything that I've heard from him has made me

302
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 5: feel a certain way. But I do need to dig

303
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 5: more into what he's got going on, because I did

304
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 5: see some stuff from like the documentary and stuff how

305
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 5: he would switch his bands around and all these things that,

306
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 5: you know, I thought that was inspiring. But yeah, I

307
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 5: want to talk about the No Label Academy, Yeah, that

308
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 5: you did at Harvard. Yeah, so Charlamagne loved this too

309
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: because you did two lectures on mental health.

310
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

311
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: Why did you feel like that was so.

312
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: Important to do? Well?

313
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 5: So the class is ten day experience that people from

314
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 5: all around the world. Students apply and then we pick

315
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: about twenty to twenty five of them, and then I

316
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 5: teach the class and it goes from branding, which I

317
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: call story in vision, to financial literacy to team building

318
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 5: and mental health is the last day. And we taught

319
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 5: that at the Medical School at Harvard. I think mental

320
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 5: health is really important because I always say this, like,

321
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 5: as human beings, we've evolved socially a lot of so

322
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: many different times since like you know, they say we're

323
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: about three hundred thousand seventy five to three hundred thousand

324
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: years old, like what we are biologically, we've evolved I

325
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 5: think way too much socially to keep up with where

326
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 5: we are biologically. So when you fame is something we created.

327
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: That's not something we were built for or made for.

328
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: So like a lot of times people deal with fame

329
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 5: in a way that could be detrimental. And I think

330
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: that people don't teach the aspect and the importance of

331
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: mental health when they're actually pushing them to be famous,

332
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: you know. So for me, this class was supposed to

333
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 5: prepare you from a bi business perspective for what you

334
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: or the artist you're working with could be dealing with

335
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 5: once they get in the game. And I think a

336
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: lot of the times labels will see like, oh, this

337
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: person's hot, they come from this neighborhood and all that.

338
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 5: Yeah that's cool and all that, but like and then

339
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 5: they not ready for corporate the corporate like they're not

340
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 5: understanding what that is. So now you're expecting somebody who's

341
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 5: manager might be like just homeinge to know how to

342
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 5: move within a corporate setting and be successful and then

343
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 5: sustaining that sustain that success. I think that creates a

344
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: lot of problems for a lot of different people.

345
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: You know, how has your mental been you know, because

346
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: you talked about kids making fun of you back in

347
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: the day. Yeah, and now being on social media is

348
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: times a thousand is as far as the amount of commons.

349
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes people just say negative stuff just to try to

350
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: get a reaction. So how you deal with social media now?

351
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I lost my mom. She died from

352
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: you know, HIV complications from that, and I didn't know

353
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 5: that until after she passed, so I never had that

354
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 5: closure of being able to talk to her about it.

355
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Right.

356
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: So when you look at that kind of stuff, and

357
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 5: then you look at like what I've been through with

358
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: prison and all this stuff.

359
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Man, like I'm kind of primed for It's like it

360
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really get much worse.

361
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: You've been through real shit.

362
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, So for me, it's like second nature almost dealing

363
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 5: with some of the stuff that's nothing to me. When

364
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: they like COVID, I'm like I was just I was

365
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: actually on twenty three lock twenty three hour lockdown at

366
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: one point, like this is nothing to me with a book,

367
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 5: you know what I mean?

368
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: So for me, like I love a.

369
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 10: Good quarantine, yeah right, yeah, so to me, it don't

370
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 10: really get much worse.

371
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: So so you know, I just try to like figure

372
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: out how to express that to people who haven't gone

373
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 5: through those things. That's what my class is mainly for

374
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 5: when it comes to that aspect.

375
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: I like what you said too, because I never thought

376
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: about it. But it's true.

377
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 7: Fame is a social construct, and nowadays everybody thinks they're famous.

378
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: Not on need that everybody kind of is because you

379
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 5: got to think about it. If you have social media,

380
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 5: when you post something, even if it's just the local before.

381
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: You, they had to see you do it.

382
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 5: Right now, you can just be like, yeah, I was,

383
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 5: I went and ate this ice cream at so and so,

384
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 5: and then people comment like, ah, why'd you get that flavor?

385
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Like that's what everybody.

386
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 5: Has, some form of fame if you have social media,

387
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 5: And then you think about high schools, like the popular

388
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 5: kid in the high school would be popular when they

389
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 5: walk in school, or maybe certain things happen after school.

390
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: But now it's like, oh yeah, he got fifteen hundred

391
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 5: followers and the school was like three thousand people, so

392
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 5: that after school, you know what I mean. Like it's

393
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 5: just like, so everyone's dealing with some form of fame

394
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: right now, and I think that that's an issue.

395
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 7: And I feel sorry for these kids because it makes

396
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 7: them overthink everything. Example you gave is like you shouldn't

397
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 7: be having a question. Nobody should be questioning you about

398
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 7: the flavory ice cream you want, right, you don't want

399
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 7: to get, but every single thing you do is question.

400
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 7: So therefore you're questioning every single thing you do in

401
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 7: your mind, every little mundane thing you do.

402
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: You're overthinking it.

403
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.

404
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 5: Like, biologically we haven't evolved, but socially we're constantly evolving,

405
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: and we're dealing with AI and all these things starting

406
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 5: to happen. It's just it's only going to get faster

407
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: and faster.

408
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 6: And that class at Harvard, that's the class that Virgil

409
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 6: came to.

410
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 5: Yes, Virgil before he passed, He's supposed to speak for

411
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 5: thirty minutes.

412
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: He spoke for an hour thirty minutes. Yeah, shut out.

413
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 9: So you saw the that this happened, like a few

414
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 9: months ago, almost a few months ago, when the Blue

415
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 9: Star Alliance acquire Off Whitey. Yeah, yeah, and so people,

416
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 9: I know you said you don't like being put in

417
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 9: a fashion lane, but I just will love to get

418
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 9: your opinion on that, because people were upset about that

419
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 9: because they felt like it was going to devalue the

420
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 9: brain and what Virgil that worked for.

421
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 5: How you think about that, Well, you know, whenever, whenever

422
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 5: art meets commerce, it's always going to get watered down.

423
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 5: If I signed to a record label, there's songs that

424
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 5: are better singles than the song that I might believe

425
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: because of the range of entry points people could have

426
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 5: to that song. You make that decision once you decide

427
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 5: to do art, because we could do whatever art we

428
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 5: want and be homeless if we okay with that, that's

429
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 5: cool too. I say that to say with that particular

430
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 5: situation one, I don't know the details to it. I

431
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 5: don't know too much of it, but the idea that

432
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 5: something could be watered down, it depends on the details

433
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 5: of the deal and what they got going on and

434
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: who controls what. I think that that came from Virgil's

435
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: brain at the end of the day, and Virgil is

436
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 5: not here, So there's always going to be some type

437
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 5: of difference, right, But yeah, when art mes commerce, that's

438
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: what happens. You know, it's a battles t when I

439
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 5: always look at everything is don't look at it as

440
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 5: an on and off switch, look at it as a percentage.

441
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 9: Knowing him personally, do you think that Virgil will be

442
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 9: happy with like just where off White is right now today?

443
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 9: That's also been a conversation too. They've had like different

444
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 9: leadership in and out and stuff like that.

445
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 5: You know, there's people that are friends of mine who

446
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: could answer that question far better than I could, because

447
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 5: I don't have enough of it. I didn't have that

448
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 5: relationship with him where I would know what happiness is

449
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 5: actually to him when it comes to that brand.

450
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: How did you meet that? He followed me.

451
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 5: I did the cover GQ's uh British GQ and it

452
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 5: was a Louis Vuitton exclusive, and so I debuted the

453
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 5: NBA collab that they have and from there he followed me.

454
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: And then I got a made back and brought it Virgil. No,

455
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 5: I got one, just regular one, and then he was like,

456
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: welcome to the club.

457
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: And then that we started talking.

458
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: From I got to slide out with it was a

459
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: pleasure meeting.

460
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 5: Of course your headlines and maccolate, I appreciate it.

461
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: You to you, to you too a lot of that.

462
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 2: Man, Now has the industry changed since you first came

463
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: out and did your first mixtape?

464
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: How have you seen how things change? Because you know,

465
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 4: usually when.

466
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 2: Artist first do the mixtape is their core. They only

467
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: care about their core. But now it's something different. Now

468
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: you're looking for a radio record. Now you're looking for

469
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: something that's gonna go on the charts. Now you look

470
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: for those things. So how has things changed for you?

471
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 5: I mean, look that when I first started, like streaming

472
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 5: wasn't really a thing like that, Like it was still

473
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 5: kind of iTunes and people reviewing the song or album

474
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 5: or whatever. Things have changed a lot because people and

475
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 5: the algorithm dictates a lot of what what a lot

476
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 5: of the decisions you could potentially make. So now we're

477
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 5: in a place where we could, like think a song

478
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 5: sounds like a single, but that doesn't matter anymore. Like

479
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: you know, I can't rely on like DJs to break

480
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: the record the same way as before.

481
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of like this is.

482
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 5: The record based off of the algorithm and streaming and

483
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 5: the fans. So now we push it. You know, I

484
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: think in a lot of it's good. In a lot

485
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 5: of ways it's not good.

486
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: That makes it difficult.

487
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: But you know, the DJ now he follows an algorithm,

488
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: He follows what people are listening to, what's streaming, instead

489
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: of just you know, what somebody's feeling, which makes it difficult.

490
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: And being from the DMV area, how difficult is it

491
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: for that, especially being a rapper. You don't really see

492
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: too many from the DMV rap that a huge, but

493
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: there's a lot of talent in the DMV area.

494
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny.

495
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 5: I think I was just talking to Jaha and No

496
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 5: Idea about this, like they were like, Yo, you know

497
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: what's crazy?

498
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: What's your situation?

499
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 5: One you don't have If you look at rap, there's

500
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 5: a lot of people who have some kind of co

501
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: sign by somebody that they're aligned with, especially when you

502
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: make the type of rap that I make. And then

503
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: another thing is if not that at least they have

504
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 5: like a really big city that they're coming from. That's

505
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 5: huge in music. And right now we're growing obviously in

506
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 5: the DMV, but it isn't like New York or Atlanta

507
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: or La Right, So it's like they basically, it's like, yo,

508
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 5: you kind of have to make your own way in

509
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 5: a way that a lot of people don't. Not saying

510
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: that people don't make their own way, I'm saying like,

511
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 5: in a way that most people don't. And I thought

512
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 5: about that and I was like, wow, actually there is

513
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 5: you have a point. The good thing I'll say about

514
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 5: where I'm from, though, is when it comes to originality,

515
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 5: there is a lot to pull from.

516
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: There's a huge culture.

517
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 5: I come from, Go go That's why I started doing music,

518
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 5: Go go bands and.

519
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: Stuff like that.

520
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 5: So you got a lot to pull from. And when

521
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: it does work and when it does break, it's going

522
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 5: to be beautiful. However, you know, you know, you got

523
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 5: to roll up your sleeves. You know, you got to

524
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: remain poised.

525
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like the DMV area doesn't get heard

526
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: like it should, you know, And I honestly, if I

527
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: didn't go to Hampton, I would have never understood the

528
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: DMV area.

529
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you.

530
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: See all this like wile that took a long time

531
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: to break through, or even push it that took a

532
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: long time to break through. It's like it comes so

533
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: last with the respect and I think because it's such

534
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: a small area but a big area.

535
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

536
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: Man, it's a melting pot of a lot of beautiful things,

537
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: you know. And I think that like there is a

538
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: certain level of i say, like segregation within the type

539
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 5: of thing that you may do versus the type of

540
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 5: thing this person might do. But I think when we

541
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 5: find when we figure out how to kind of bring

542
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 5: it all together, that is going to also I always

543
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 5: I have this theory we when the Commanders start winning,

544
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 5: we'll start to see our industry.

545
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so. I think. I think it's, you know,

546
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: around the corner.

547
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 9: Like that's la like la. Everything is so celebrity. They're

548
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 9: the team, so they celebrity lifestyle.

549
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 8: So the only reason why I don't think that's going

550
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 8: to be a thing is just because the DMV just

551
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 8: doesn't have the structure for it. Like we don't have

552
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 8: home base for media. I had to go to New

553
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 8: York to do media. We don't have a home base

554
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 8: for artists, like we have recording studios, but industries you

555
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 8: want to make get La Atlanta New York like to

556
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 8: actually be a part of an industry algorithm.

557
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 5: So I agree with you from that perspective. But the

558
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: one thing I will say is that's the industry part

559
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 5: of it, but artistically sound wise, right, that's the first

560
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 5: thing that has to happen regardless, right, And I think

561
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 5: that there are people that are willing to travel to

562
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 5: kind of get those other things done.

563
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: I think that, like, like just.

564
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 5: Even recently, like they got like El Cousto with the

565
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 5: song and then Earl Sweatshirt was on it and then

566
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 5: it started blowing up and I remember I saw the

567
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 5: Earl part of it and I was like, this sounds

568
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 5: like he like rapping, like he's from the city.

569
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Like this really sounded like.

570
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 5: I didn't know that the dude whose song he was

571
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 5: on was from you get what I'm saying. So I

572
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 5: think like that opens people's eyes to the sound. And

573
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 5: I think that or ears and I think.

574
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 6: It's a good thing.

575
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 8: Like I think the lack of the industry is a

576
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 8: good thing because it keeps us having a regional sound

577
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 8: or a regional flavor and a lot of cities like

578
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 8: that because they have those outlets.

579
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

580
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 5: And also look man rappers they saying right now, rapp

581
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 5: is very regional like base, like they've got people in

582
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: France that's the superstars now and they ain't looking at

583
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 5: what's happening in New York to see who the superstar

584
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 5: is now, you know, So I think building on that

585
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 5: is probably one of the most important things now.

586
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: Coming up in the d n V area, where those

587
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: artists having open arms for you, like like a Wile

588
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: or Push.

589
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: Ready to push.

590
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got like two of Yle brought me out,

591
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 5: Like the first year I started popping, he brought me

592
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 5: out to do his Wile and Friends show. I remember

593
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 5: that he's one of the first to embrace me Push.

594
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: I had to push Push.

595
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: I feel like follow me on a gram and we

596
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: just kind of was chopping it up and asked him

597
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 5: for a record and he's like, I got you and

598
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 5: he sent it through. I got definitely got embraced. I

599
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 5: think that the thing is that, like again, it's kind

600
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 5: of segregated in the sounds, so certain people only listen

601
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: to this sound and then certain people are more open

602
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: to other sounds. I think as we start to progress

603
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: that that'll change, hopefully, But that's that's what i'd say.

604
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, you sit on this project. Once you turn forty,

605
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 8: you retire, and you disappearing Like is that really the angle?

606
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I'll disappear.

607
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 5: But I think that while I retire, people think I

608
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 5: mean like stop rapping, and I don't know if I

609
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: mean that. I mean right now, I'm constantly competing with

610
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 5: myself to do better every time, like to the point where, like,

611
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 5: you know, family may get neglected.

612
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't, you know. I talk to my family on.

613
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 5: Like like like the holidays and stuff I don't like

614
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 5: my Grandma wants to hear from me more and things

615
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 5: like that.

616
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 6: Oh my god, every day, Nah, not every day.

617
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 5: Like I'm not even in the mental space with how

618
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 5: I view success to be able to tap into that

619
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 5: every day every day? Is what can I do to

620
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 5: make sure that when I'm forty my family. I don't

621
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 5: have kids or anything yet, and I'm not in a relationship.

622
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 8: But in Billy, everybody thinks, y'all dating?

623
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: What dating Billy? No people. I did see something one

624
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: time about that, but I don't that was like a

625
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: while back.

626
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: Okay, nah, yeah, she's an amazing, amazing artist. But yeah,

627
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 5: like when I get.

628
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 6: Uh, you already talked about this, so you knew people thought.

629
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: That I said that said people said it.

630
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, sure, But I guess it's because they were trying

631
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 9: to piece together like photos and I guess the way,

632
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 9: which was crazy.

633
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's not my house, girl in my house.

634
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,680

636
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,080

638
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 5: I am forty and I decided to it's like everything

639
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 5: is structured and laid out for me in a way

640
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,240

685
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 5: something the other day was being funny about you. I

686
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 5: didn't do nothing. She thought something happened, but like a

687
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 5: song leak or something like that, and she's like, who

688
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 5: did that? But it was a funny press. It wasn't

689
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: a real press. It ain't like not full crowd half.

690
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 9: So you're gonna retire at forty, right, And this is

691
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 9: nothing to do with BILLI olish. Okay, you're going to

692
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 9: retire at forty. At forty, then you're going to start

693
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 9: reconnecting more with your family for sure.

694
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 6: Then you're going to have it. You want to you

695
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,520

698
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 6: Thirty two?

699
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 9: So are you like taking are you dating somebody? Are

Speaker 6: But what age is that coming?

703
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: That's not an age, it's a feeling thing.

704
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 9: It can happen, right, because you got to age for

705
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 9: your retirement. You got to age for when you plan

706
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,600

00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: Definitely not a timeline on something like love and connecting

712
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 5: with the right person. It could happen right now.

713
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,920

723
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,440

724
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,000

725
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: I do.

726
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 8: Before we wrap, I kind of want to talk about

727
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 8: super Nova with the artist.

728
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Okay.

729
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 6: The artist is so fire.

730
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 8: I'm glad that you guys collapse because you guys both

731
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 8: are like very talented.

732
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 6: Talk to me about just shooting super nova.

733
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: What's so so funny with her? A friend of mine

734
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 5: was like, I was like, I want a girl on

735
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 5: this song. I just feel like he was like, yeah,

736
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 5: you should check this person out.

737
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: And I checked her on and she was fire, buddy, Yeah,

738
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: she's new.

739
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was like, y'all hit her up. She's

740
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: like excited. She sent me the verse like probably in

741
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: three days. And then I was just like, Wow, she

742
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 5: like really killed this. So for me, that was like

743
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 5: a risky song because I don't really go all the way.

744
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's R and B.

745
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: I guess it is R and B.

746
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 8: And I was going to say, like, do you see

747
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 8: yourself leaning more into that now?

748
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: I like stuff like that.

749
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 5: Man, I like stuff I could play with, like a

750
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 5: woman that i'm with for something like that, And it's

751
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 5: not it doesn't have to be negative because I think

752
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 5: like I would always do this thing where I would

753
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 5: start saying nice things and then be like but and

754
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 5: I was like, nah, I'm not doing it.

755
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm going all the way. Like I'm going all the way. Like,

756
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: So that was what that was about.

757
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 6: Nice. I think you should lean into that.

758
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I'll take your advice.
