00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: fucking show. The crowd was going crazy from start to finish.

39
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: And that particular day I remember, like yesterday me I

40
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: was at the cliff. Jerry Alimo was there that day.

41
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: I said that Nigga is a superstar. Damn that day,

42
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: I wish I could remember shit like that. What's the

43
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: name was there too? Backyard? Was there too? Yep? One

44
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: of us before I signed No you was you? Was you?

45
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: Was hot? You was cracking. It was loads of flyer

46
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: bromis the whole thing. You were cracking, and I said,

47
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I had never seen you perform, and seeing you in

48
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: that space packed out convention center doing an actual show,

49
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: and it's something you just said before the thing started.

50
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: It's like people don't understand music, and your understanding of

51
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: music in your placement and how you deliver it. That

52
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: for me, makes the difference in your in your artistry

53
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: why I believe you're so great. I appreciate it because

54
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: you're a hell of a musical entity. Your fire, crazy

55
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: dope lyricists and all of that, but your understanding of

56
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: music and where to put that shit, it's different. I

57
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: think I appreciate it.

58
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: First of all, we've me, me and my Kaz been

59
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: talking about this, like it's just like it's very strange

60
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: because even like on Calvin on stage interview, he was like,

61
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'm not dreaming, Like people don't

62
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: be knowing that, and that's weird to me.

63
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, of course people know that.

64
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: And now like it came out and you see the

65
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: comments and like it's like fifty percent of people don't know.

66
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: They're like, you know what I'm saying, My name is

67
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: not dreaming I've have.

68
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: I referenced it all the time, but it's still so

69
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: imagine the music acumen, Like they think I'll just be

70
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: showing up and like get lucky. Well, I don't know,

71
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So that's something I'm kind

72
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: of like this album I've been trying to I've been

73
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: trying to show people like yo, like you know, I

74
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: don't I might not know how to play out there

75
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: or whatever, but like i know exactly how to put

76
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 3: records together, and I've written for so many people.

77
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: I just don't.

78
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: That's just not my identity, you know what I'm saying.

79
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: So I appreciate somebody like of your stature saying that,

80
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: but like I'm about to prove that, like I'm out there,

81
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: like I have to maybe put it in their face

82
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: and put it on camera or what.

83
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's what I'm when I say,

84
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: And when I was saying mystery and the intro. For me,

85
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: it's like me and Ja can know because we're behind

86
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: the veil. We live in the space, so we have

87
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: a different understanding of what it is that you do

88
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: in the level that you're doing it all. And to me,

89
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: it's like that's the screen, right. I want you guys

90
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: to understand, Okay, the hit is the hit, but I

91
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: also want you to understand that he's deeply connected to

92
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: the science of it, of the house and wives, and

93
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: those are the conversations.

94
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: Nothing is actually nothing is accidental when you especially when

95
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: you talk about singles, you know what I'm saying, or

96
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 3: like little earcne and stuff like that. Nothing nothing, nothing, nothing,

97
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: Nothing is accidental, coincidental when when I'm doing stuff like

98
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: especially post twenty, like thirteenth, like maybe around like Gifted,

99
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: like my third album, nothing was ever accidental, Like I learned.

100
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: I was around Mark Ronson, you know what I'm saying.

101
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: I was around jay Z, I was around bra I

102
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: was around Amy Winehouse. I was around Backyard Man, I

103
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: was around listen Man. I was around UCB, like I

104
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: was picking up stuff, like even subconsciously, like I'm picking

105
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: up stuff and me knowing stuff like you knowing and

106
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 3: how to rock a crowd with a go go band,

107
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: like you can do it if you go rock a

108
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: crowd with a go go band and a rap and

109
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: you genuinely are learned trying to learn like all the things,

110
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 3: that's all who you be around. I think this is

111
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: what comes from it. But a lot of people don't

112
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: they you know a lot of people just like are

113
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: cool enough. It's just like all right, I'm come here

114
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: and do my raps and y'all do the hook and

115
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: then we put out them out like that's cool. Sometimes

116
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But like when you when

117
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm in it, I'm in it. I'm trying. I want

118
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: to be great with this ship.

119
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: Now, that's dope to hear you to say, to hear

120
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: you say that, really you're a student of the game

121
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: right where we don't have many of those and it

122
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: and it shows the that's the separation. Yeah, and the

123
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: longevity that you've had in this in this business bro

124
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: where you can you can have a hit.

125
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: Whenever you want.

126
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: To like that. But but I don't say.

127
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: I've been I've been fortunate enough.

128
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: I do.

129
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: I do.

00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: It comes at a car I'll be in that. I'll

Speaker 3: playing like a puzzle game or playing Maden or something

135
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: like like why you just don't go in the studio.

176
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: like like like that all like like I took it.

177
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: It's like, man, you really it's hard to actually like,

178
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: you know, R and B. It was never really a

179
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: regional thing. So even when you like like came out

180
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: and shook the game up, it was like it's not

181
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: that they never really be asking where the singer from.

182
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: So like hip hop was super like, yeah, you.

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying, And it's just like I just

184
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: even when when I was coming up, I was different

185
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 3: than everybody, Like I was wearing like Supreme and like,

186
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: you know, like just my my aesthetic was different. So

187
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: I already had to go through that, you know what

188
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 3: I'm saying to me being on stage wearing Supreme, wrapping

189
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: the backyard all these bands, nobody looked like me, know,

190
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: I just like me, And to get in the industry,

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: to be the only person from from the crib like

192
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: like it was, it was not.

193
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I still go through it.

194
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: I still think if I was from like a like

195
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: a uh music music city, like a hip hop city,

196
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: a lot of things have been different, you know what

197
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I probably, like like the microscope, it wouldn't

198
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: only be on my transgressions. It's probably be on like

199
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: the stuff that you just talked about, like my intention

200
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: to detail and my success rate of records to connect.

201
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: I think that said, I think that's I think that's

202
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit to do with us

203
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: not being from a real I mean, we got Marvin Gaye,

204
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: we got you, we got we got ROBERTA.

205
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Flat, we got but.

206
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: It's not known as you know what I'm saying, like

207
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: the Big Three of l A, New York and like Atlanta.

208
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like these these these you say

209
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: in New York, or you say in Atlanta, or you

210
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: say in La or you say.

211
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: Or even Detroit Motown. You know what I'm saying.

212
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna their people are gonna, let you.

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, no, we scream it, yeah loud. In the

214
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: Bay Area, we screaming if you're from the Bay streaming yeah.

215
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: So that that is the difference we have. We've had

216
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: less of an industry there. I mean, obviously with Gazi

217
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: coming along and doing Empire, that turned it into a

218
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: different type of place and more of a destination for people.

219
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: But as far as.

220
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: We felt like outsiders too, but within us feeling like

221
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: outside of this, outside of y'all had Tony Independent, but

222
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: y'all have Tony Tony Tony.

223
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Like that y'all have, y'all had big artists.

224
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: Keep going, Okay, it's gonna start, it's gonna start getting slight.

225
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: It's in a sense of yes.

226
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 4: But but I said, all these artists you're naming independent

227
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 4: Hammer independent, he was independent, Well.

228
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: He didn't feel independent because he got listen, it's one

229
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 3: of the biggest rappers of all time, Like.

230
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 4: He did it independently, and that's what most people didn't know, right,

231
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: And so it came from he was the first out

232
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: the trunk for us.

233
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Right.

234
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 4: So within having that or even to listen to the

235
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: old mc hammon records, he was battling the system. He

236
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 4: was saying like, oh, they don't play you. Listen to

237
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 4: the intro. He's like, oh, they don't play you on

238
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: New York Hammer because we were feeling that same way

239
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 4: that a place like a DC would feel, because it

240
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 4: was really nothing that was in the industry, you know

241
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like we were close to LA, but

242
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: we were in LA same way y'all close to New

243
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: York but DC ain't job.

244
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: But but to us, to I think a lot of

245
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: people was like, that's California, California doing night California doing

246
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: night Edet Underground Park was running around.

247
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Wrapping that stuff like musical though, so we also listen,

248
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: we hear it differently, right, right, So when we heard

249
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: Tony Tony, Tony to me and you, what the fuck

250
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: is that? That's excellent? Yeah, that's excellent. But I understand

251
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: what you're saying too in terms of it was a

252
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: fight because it was just yours. Yeah yeah, and me

253
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: being from the DMV, it's like I'm always waiting for

254
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: the There's support there for sure, But there is a

255
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: difference in being from a New York and an Atlanta

256
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: and in LA it's just something different.

257
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the ecosystem for real, Like when I

258
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: was coming up, like even still in a big twenty six,

259
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 3: Like it's not you can't just roll out of bed

260
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: and get like a high quality studio and not saying

261
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: you need one now, but like some people that some

262
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: people need space, some people need to you know, you

263
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: can roll out of bed and get get into something

264
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: like this in LA easier, you know what I'm saying,

265
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: Like you couldn't do that, You still can't really do that.

266
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: In DC, you still can't.

267
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: Has there ever been a DC based label?

268
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a lot, and I don't going any

269
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: more because somebody gonna get mad because that's what we

270
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: do back going. But there's been a lot of been

271
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: a lot of labels, a lot of niggas. Was I

272
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: came from one, A lot of a lot of niggas

273
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: did a lot of good stuff. And if I say

274
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: one I got, say malls, I'm just not so. But yes,

275
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: but you know, like like it was, it was it

276
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 3: was again, it was a door like it wasn't really

277
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: like you know.

278
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.

279
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: I remember, like you know, like ninth grade. Like I'm like,

280
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: I've started playing Circle Boys every day, Like I got

281
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: that joint from the Benner Road all days and you

282
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like everybody was playing that Jone

283
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: my cousin played for roles. He was playing, he was

284
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: playing that jont So. Circle Boys was going from everywhere

285
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: fro Montgomery County to PG County and northeast and all that.

286
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: Like to me, I was like, Yo, what's what's different

287
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: than this than no Limit? You know what I'm saying?

288
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: But they never made and oy boys? What's different than

289
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: this then cash money? But you know, I'm I'm growing

290
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: up listening to this and I'm like, how come these

291
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: guys can't get what that is when I'm saying on

292
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: BT and you know what I'm saying, you like, and

293
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: they wasn't getting locked up like they was. They was

294
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: all free men at the time. So again, I just

295
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: think that DC music never really got like they once

296
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: like like you know what I'm saying, they tense, They

297
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: never really got it for real, like for the movement

298
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: that was happening when I was coming up, Like a

299
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: lot of people just didn't get didn't it didn't go.

300
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: Is it is? It is it somewhat on us as

301
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: the creatives that we've never collaborated in a way that

302
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: makes it feel like we're we're being the leaders of

303
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: of corraling the troops in a sense.

304
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: Well, I'm seeing it can go two ways, because you know,

305
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: I've probably done over forty features thirty something features for

306
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: people back home or put them on stuff whatever, you know,

307
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: like Faster, Big Fella, Black Cobang a gold Link.

308
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: I've worked with our Elennix. I've worked and see that's

309
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: my thing though with you, it's like Nigga, You're you're

310
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: you're ingrained in the fabric, right. You don't see what

311
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

312
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: It's just to me personally, like I just be like,

313
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: it's just stuff that makes me just just scratch my head.

314
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: Like remember during the pandemic, it was a young end.

315
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: I just liked how he sounded and I just like, man,

316
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: let me let me do a verse form whatever. He

317
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: was in a lot of trouble whatever, but like I

318
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: did a verse form and the Jones sound it sounds excellent, good,

319
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I even said, Ross, can

320
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: you post it to Ross? Posted it it's young and

321
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: posted the jont one time and like just went back

322
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: to whatever he was doing and like he didn't even

323
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: know the value of that. And then he hit me

324
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: like like two years later, like yo, I was tripping.

325
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: I should have like you think you think I got

326
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: nothing but love for you, but like you think I'm

327
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: going to do anything like and it be like that sometimes,

328
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: like people don't I try to embrace I tried to

329
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 3: embrace people. Man, I'm not trying to sign on nobody.

330
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, well you don't. I don't even

331
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: want to sign nothing. But I'm just saying, like, here's

332
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: my advice on da da da like and it just don't.

333
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: A lot of times it be like that, like back home,

334
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of talent, a lot of talent,

335
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: but I mean there's like the rap style that has

336
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: become popular back home with the youngest It's something that

337
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: I kind of understand, but I don't know if it

338
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: has legs. I don't know if it has legs beyond

339
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: a certain place, like you know what I'm saying.

340
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: And I think that could be it too, because because

341
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: because the style, it always reminded me of it.

342
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: But that's just my that's my producer executive mind working.

343
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: Like I hear it, I'd be like, yo, I get

344
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: it kind of, but it doesn't seem like something that

345
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: could whereas like circle Boys or boys or the ogs

346
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: in front of me, like I could see why I

347
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 3: could I could see that work. I wonder why that

348
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: didn't work because it's it's on part with what I'm

349
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 3: hearing on the mainstream or even nonchalant five o'clock in

350
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 3: the morning, like like I don't to me, I'm like,

351
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: why she should have had definitely had a like a

352
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: more fruitful run than you know what I'm saying, and

353
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 3: just I mean, she got that, But I'm like this,

354
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: this woman is speaking about stuff that's going on in

355
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: the city, in the in the area that needs to

356
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: be heard from around this time in the nineties, and

357
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: it's like, why can't that go further?

358
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Why did everything have to stop?

359
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: Like why they like junk Yard got signed to depth

360
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: Jam like what happened?

361
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: Like what happened?

362
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: Like what and maybe it could have been some internal

363
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: who knows, I don't know, But I always wonder about

364
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: that because like these were our opportunities for things to

365
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 3: happen for us on a regional way, and and and

366
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: and go go had two chances around that time doing

367
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: the back all that chucked a little bit around that

368
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: and then ain't Marie like and Beyonce Rich Harrison time

369
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: like you know people that they're like kind of cherry pit,

370
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: like can a little bit of go go a little bit?

371
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: Like I would have thought like it was some more

372
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: would it came from that? Like I thought Rich was

373
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: gonna change it, like for real, for real, I thought

374
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: he was going. I thought he was gonna really like

375
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: bring that sound like to another level. I often wonder

376
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: what happened, But you know, in.

377
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: The same we gotta get in there, because that's the

378
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: definitely same question I got because Rich was on.

379
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 3: A tear I think with that sign, I think I

380
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: think he maybe didn't. I don't know, maybe because because

381
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: even tone the Craig from b KS from back Home,

382
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: like my first misake, my first big mix safe, like

383
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 3: we did it. We had a lot of go go

384
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: but it was so it was like jazz samples and

385
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: we would like put Timbali's and like congos, but like

386
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: reveral subtlely like like almost as if knife one that

387
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 3: made go like put put use go go drums like

388
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 3: but and it was people loved it. But them two

389
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: niggas started bumping heads, and now we lost a couple

390
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: of potential legendary hip hop group.

391
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

392
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: Tone's doing doing his thing, Crags still doing this thing,

393
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 3: but what could have been?

394
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Wow? I brought them.

395
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: I brought him the rock Nation and I remember Jay

396
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: Jay was trying to do something with them and they

397
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: was like, we don't know, but you don't know. Yeah,

398
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 3: I ain't trying, you know what I'm saying, Like it's

399
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: be stuff like that, you know what I'm saying. The

400
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: Crags still doing great. I think he got places on

401
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: Kendricken his albums. He's doing good. Tone, he's doing what

402
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: he's doing. He could definitely be a lot bigger. But

403
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 3: you know, there's sometimes people have gotten their own way,

404
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 3: and a lot of these youngers right now they just

405
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: cannot stay out of trouble. It's it's it'd be like that,

406
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: I think you know. When I was coming up and

408
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of making my bones in the

409
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: city and and learning and figuring me out. When I

410
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: when I saw an opportunity to try and go to

411
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: another level, I was like, well, where can I go

412
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: where the competition is so out of control like that,

413
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I won't I won't get no sleep. And when I

414
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: came to LA for the first time and made my

415
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: rounds and saw how many dope everything there was, and

416
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: saw like going away to college, bro, I said, I said,

00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: he do? What ship? Whose times? It allows you to

419
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: see further, and I was like, I was like, because

420
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: it was the destination where everybody wanted to create. And

421
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta be I gotta be here.

422
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: I got to be here because anybody who's doing anything

423
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: on a on a on a level that's out of

424
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: this world, they're here and I need to be able

425
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: to see them. I need to be able to understand

426
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: what they're doing, and I need to be able to compete.

427
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: A lot of niggas can come in and lose their mind.

428
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 3: Well getting I'm not saying I didn't. I ain't gonna

429
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 3: lie to you and say what Dre Club didn't get

430
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: all my money.

431
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: It's what dreams come to die.

432
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: Man, Like a lot you know what I'm saying, A

Speaker 3: lot of people done took that l men in lab.

434
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: If you don't, you gotta find a balance, you know

435
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And so I felt like if I

436
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: was at home. I felt like if I was at home,

437
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: it just would have been different.

438
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: Oh nah, for sure, But that he has a depth

439
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: in extreme no like LA is like DC, like the opposite,

00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: Like you can't find no way to record, like you know,

441
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: like and even if you do, it's like I mean,

442
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: like you can't. I can't even explain how many times

443
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: I'd be in the studio like and like I could

444
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: feel the engineer like he has no idea like that

445
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 3: I'm like what I'm about to do? Like what I'm

Speaker 3: just met with jay Z last week, Like I'm getting

448
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 3: that energy of like, oh here's a rapper, he's in

Speaker 3: a there's a there's a there's a there's a there's

451
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: a hopelessness that's in the that was in the air

452
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: a lot, like there was a hopelessness that I had

453
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: to deal with, Like that was just in the air,

454
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: like like what you want to be a rapper?

455
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: All right?

456

Speaker 3: But like you know what I'm saying, Like even when

457
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: I did have a little bit of motion, like it

458
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 3: was like a hopelessness. It's like and I feel like

459
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: I probably took that mentality with me, like that hopelessness

460
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 3: even when I was making even when I was doing

461
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: cool stuff, like I still had that like mentality of

462
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: like you know, it's like probably impositive syndrome because it's

463
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 3: like you you you your whole come up.

464
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: You just hear like how you not going to do it?

00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: Or are you?

466
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, that's a fluke. That's not

467
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: gonna happen a game. That's a fluke. You know what

468
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

469
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: That's the crib type shit.

470
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 3: That's that's where I got where I got that from.

471
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: M hmm.

472
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: Like I I would imagine like when you the difference

473
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: you experienced me from a crib from the crib to

474
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: here was like like probably saying chills to your boy,

475
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: like like out in the night and day. You know

476
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like people like really understand like like what.

477
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: They take to make it here, Like you know what

478
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

479
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know though, it's crazy because we we

480
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: we we got we got so much time. We got

481
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 3: kids that learned instruments at like twelve years old. In

482
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 3: go go bands, you could literally be the next for real,

483
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: but you probably don't. See you probably don't probably don't

484
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 3: think of yourself that well. You probably never applaud yourself

485
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 3: that way, and that this is we're talking about what

486
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 3: what are is I'm probably like like bit like mid

487
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: nineties to like early two thousands, Like that's that's the

488
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: that's the vibe that I was getting, you know what

489
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 3: I'm saying a few people here and there. It was

490
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: like putting the battery in my back, like a lot

491
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: of the radio State Caress nights were putting ninety salads

492
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: a quick silver iron. They was you know, keeping me,

493
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: but like without them, like there was nobody saying like

494
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 3: until it was too late.

495
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: M hm.

496
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

497
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: Like I was like I started.

498
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 3: Really like you know, I made like I made the

499
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: Go Go Fusion song, and you know, I be do

500
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: neon with Backyard, and then I go do platinum with

501
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 3: with the non Go Go people and just it just

502
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: and at that point it was unstoppable. But like it

503
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 3: was very very hard to like convince niggas that like

504
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be I'm gonna do it. Watch it's hard.

505
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: So I can't imagine.

506
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to answer this question or just make

507
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: this an assertion. I guess I've always felt like I've

508
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: always felt like you were more received, more well received

509
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: than you realized. M h. I've always felt like you're

510
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: as dope as you think you are, and there are

511
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: more people who think the way you think and the

512
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 1: way we think than you realize.

513
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 3: Well some days, right, but then you gott I gotta

514
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: zoom out and be like, dog, I know I'm good,

515
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 3: I know real good. I think there's like things that

516
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: people will use to discredit be a lot sometimes or

517
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: they'd be like if I ever dared to speak up

518
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: for myself, oh he's complaining whatever, like and also I mean, brouh,

00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: I've been. I don't think there's no been in I

520
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: don't think there's no active artists that's been on more

521
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: labels me. You know what I'm saying, I've been discarded.

522
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: You feel me, bounce back. I've been like discarded again,

523
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: bounce back I've been. You see where him, you see

524
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: where that artists? Okay, we're gonna take that artist this okay,

525
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: cool like and then bounce back again. So like to

526
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: be a nigga that been discarded and I have to

527
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: show niggas again. You know, I know a lot of

528
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: people I came in the game with they don't even

529
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: have to have no big single, like there's all eyes

530
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: on them when they drop. I always gotta have a

531
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: big single just to get into conversation again. So that

532
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: happening to you enough, you'll be like, I'm not trying

533
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: to hear all this, Like, yo, you better than You're

534
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: better than you to go. I don't be trying, like

535
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: I don't. I can't cause it's like somebody told me

536
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 3: last week that I wasn't tiying no more, like you

537
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like I can't even you know

538
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Like, But again that's why I try

539
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: not to get too out and not to get too

540
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: low at this point, Cuz again, I've been through some

541
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 3: shit in this industry. This jo't over really do it

542
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: some damage on. I'm just one of the niggas that's

543
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 3: honest enough to say it, like I'm I went my

544
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 3: heart on my I'll tell you how the truth. So

545
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: it's like, it's not that I think I'm not. I

546
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: think I'm one of them, but best rappers. I think

547
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm one of the best. But it's almost to the

548
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: point that like and theig like me say that they

549
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: can like what does this guy think he is? Like

550
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

551
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: Most a lot of.

552
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: People can say that, but every rapper is supposed to

553
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: say to me for some reason, like who does he

554
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 3: think he is? Like, so I just be like, all right,

555
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 3: I won't listen to the good or the bad, Like,

556
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: just let me just do what I do. So that's

557
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: probably why you think that I feel that way. Yeah,

558
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: And I don't think you have to stop saying it though.

559
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: Either.

560
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: I just told HIMNI go on Twitter this morning, I

561
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 3: got the album yea, and they be like rap out

563
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I said album because I'm not living.

564
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: I don't like it's an album, not rap, I said,

565
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: album Spriena Garbage, I'm on your ass, like, yeah, like

Speaker 3: an album Olivia Dean, I fuck with you, Charley, but

567
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be in Listen all that shit, cool

568
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,240

569
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so listen to this.

570
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: Listen to the album and tell me that we're not

571
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: jeenre Bendon telling me not we're not telling consistent stories.

572
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 3: Tell me the production ain't a one album Album of

573
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: the Year Grammy voters, that's an album.

574
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 5: Let's let's talk about this new album. In the new

575
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 5: space that you're in, right and and you.

576
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: Going to a new label, being in a new situation,

577
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: do you feel like that allowed you more freedom from

578
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: a creative sense to go and you know, be in

579
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: partnership with a guy like Tunji. One of the biggest

580
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: misconceptions about my time with MMG is that I didn't

581
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: have freedom because you know, my first album attention deficit

582
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 4: was with Mark.

583
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: I didn't really know what I didn't. I was just

584
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: really good at writing verses and then I you know,

585
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: I like, I liked what I like, like I'm I'm

586
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: in London with him for three months. I'm like learning

587
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: with Justice and MG team that DM will sounded like,

588
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: so I like that. So I was kind of like

589
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: a lot of these things. And looking back, it is like,

590
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: you know, I don't think Jimmy Iven knew what to do,

591
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: Like he just didn't know like DC, but he's wrapping

592
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: on MGMT and all this other stuff. So you know,

593
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: cool left Interscope and went to this Warner slash MMG.

594
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: Like I'm in a studio, we're making We're making self

595
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: made one. I'm like looking, I'm just I'm I'm like,

596
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: I'm I'm have access to beats that I ain't of

597
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: it like half before. So I'm just like I'm learning,

598
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm learning and picking up on stuff. And you know,

599
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: after that joint, I went to New York and just

600
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: made that album and that didn't nobody tell me what

601
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: songs to pick, No, nothing that creativity then, you know

602
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So I don't know, I don't think

603
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: nothing ever really changed. I just think that I knew

604
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: that Niggas wasn't it might be like pulling a little

605
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 3: bit of teeth to make a song like Blanco on

606
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 3: uh at that at that point, because you know, I

607
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: just think it might've been a big ass you know

608
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: what I'm saying my and also my sining just got

609
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: better just because of learning what I can do. So

610
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: but I don't really see that much because I was

611
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: doing stuff like chain music and I rapped from the

612
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: perspective of a Jesus chain like you know what I'm saying,

613
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: Like that's that's artistry. I rapped from the perspective of

614
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: crap in the eighties and DC like it was a

615
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: woman like these are strongs that I did when I

616
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: was on MG. That's creativity, you know what I'm saying.

617
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: But I think the aesthetic is all people were seeing,

618
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: even though my esthetic was my esthetic. I'm coming through

619
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: one of my phone posits that got my two strands

620
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: twins to Goma. Whatever he was wearing, I was wearing

621
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: sob and everything, like you know what I'm saying. So

622
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: I think it was them seeing that, like like I don't.

623
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if some people knew that I see

624
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: myself as an urban act. I think maybe they saw

625
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: me as a pop at endoscope at first.

626
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

627
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: That's the only way I can make sense of it.

628
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: But the creativity has always been there to me. I

629
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: think it's flourishing more on an album because I have

630
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: been by my completely by myself, you know what I'm saying,

631
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: Maybe they're receiving it differently or allowing myself to hear it.

632
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: Oh.

633
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: I pushed the creativity just with songs like Blanco and

634
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: Lonely and Corner Bottles, but it was always there.

635
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: And I also think that like sometimes and I experienced

636
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: this in moving, whether it be a label or it

637
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: be a you know, a agency, you know what I'm saying,

638
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: a booking or whatever, there's this new excitement. There's this

639
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: new building of people that are like, oh, we we

640
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: know what to do. We were lined up, and for me,

641
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: it gave me something extra in the spirit of motivation

642
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: and this newness of this new relationship, you know what

643
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Like when you get in, get in this

644
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: new relationship with this, with this, with this new girl,

645
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, let me let mean you know what

646
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I mean flowers, Let me get some flowers.

647
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: You ain't got flowers in a long time, you know

648
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like you ain't. You ain't you normally

649
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: open the door, that's normally your thing, but you you

650
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: really getting the door. It's time of no, let me

651
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: get that for you know what I'm saying. You know

652
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, get her, get her the tomahawk. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

653
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's that newness that that happens,

654
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: I think organically because you feel this new influx of

655
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: appreciation and love and commitment that I think sometimes lines

656
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: up with the timing of where you are artistically, and

657
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: that magic alone, it just does something different that it

658
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: just hasn't done before. Like now you drop this song.

659
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: First of all, I was angry. I was angry because

660
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: I told Guapole I was going to flip that too lately. No,

661
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: it's not, and it's not. It's more than one way,

662
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: skin cap Listen. No, y'all did it. It's done. It's

663
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: fucking done. This motherfucking here. And I said, Nigga, you

664
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: and him together, so it's done. I appreciate it.

665
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: Y'all make great records together too, though you and Leon

666
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 5: make great records together.

667
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: I think it's that that musical mind. It's like, that's

668
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you that I'm understanding what you're saying.

669
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: It's people are not really, they're not understanding the musicality

670
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: that you're connected to. Like the way you're creating this ship.

671
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: And that's why you and that nigga, two fucking musical

672
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: geeks can come together and create some ship that's all

673
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a fucking samaranthem.

674
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not at summer yet, but when you might

675
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: tell me it wasn't on billboard. Yeah, so that's why

676
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. We don't count our chickens.

677
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, ship, You don't want billboard

678
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 3: bill boy. Yeah, things that make it, things that make

00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: it go anyway, don't let me see Hey, listen, listen

680
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: what one thing. One thing that thing can't tell you

681
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 3: is what the people say.

682
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: Right. Oh, well, you see what I'm saying. Hard tickets.

683
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: That tell you what the people talking about. Hello, hello,

684
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: hard tickets. You see what I'm saying. When the tourists booked,

685
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: that means the people are talking. Yeah, we come see

686
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: it's on tourists. Everybody starts shout it, shout it shouted.

687
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: May twenty fifth, Yeah, oh month of June. Me and

688
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,279

00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: of beautiful gals. I like the rooms I like. I

691
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: like all of it. I like all of it, like

692
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: the record, like the direct, complete direction of the album.

693
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: Like and maybe I'm speaking biased, you know what I'm saying,

694
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: because we're from the same place and I've always thought

695
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: you were super dope, But I feel like I feel

696
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: like now now, now, whatever's around you, whoever's connected to you,

697
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: this timing for you is a very very important time.

698
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 3: I'm super agree with that I got like I know,

699
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: like I have I've had like multiple times where like

700
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 3: a boy, you got one. You better know what I'm saying,

701
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 3: This one's different because it's like I took a little

702
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 3: bit off. So I'm I'm holding onto my my little tribe,

703
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 3: my people that that's around me, and I'm trying to

704
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: kind of leave it like that, like let's just keep

705
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: doing it, like you know what I'm saying, Like like

706
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 3: I'm very aware of like what's happening right now, you

707
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I'm trying to keep that like

708
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: community like that so the output can still be and

709
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: I don't have to deal with different energies are different,

710
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: you know. I wish I really like it'd be a

711
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 3: dream to have my like my own like soul quarians.

712
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like somebody who I know

713
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: can do this whenever somebody can do that, and I

714
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: could do that for them, but I don't know the

715
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 3: way twenty twenty six is set up. Everybody just like

716
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: be out for them and like that. But you know,

717
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: I'm hold on to who's around me for shure.

718
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 4: I feel like you're putting that out there though it

719
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 4: comes back you saying you want that and it's something

720
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 4: that you that you're looking for. It could be people

721
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 4: that because that's the other thing too, right, Like we're

722
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 4: all in this industry, but sometimes everybody got their things

723
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 4: that they're doing.

724
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: It's it right.

725
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 4: But then when you put that out there and that

726
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 4: is somebody else that may be on the same frequency

727
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 4: as you says, oh you know what I heard? Why

728
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: I like say that, let me tap in with it.

729
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: Even somebody that may already you might be cool with,

730
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 4: just don't know that you're open to that.

731
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, you know what I mean.

732
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 4: Like one thing that Tricky said when he was on here,

733
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 4: when he said, you know about needing a team and

734
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: putting that team together, you know what I mean, Like

735
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 4: in figuring out what that is, and being honest and

736
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 4: open enough to say that, like, Yo, this is something

737
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 4: I want to do outside of or on top of

738
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 4: what I'm already doing that because it's like I just

739
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 4: I really want to push black music. I really want

740
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 4: to push it, like I really want to, like like

741
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 4: shit gets stale, like like we got somewhere else to

742
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: go or like make that next album. It's like a

743
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 4: complete other sound like you know what I'm saying, Like

744
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 4: we all know the music nerves. We know like Mike,

745
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 4: he really wanted to separate from his brothers and really

746
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 4: put these new sounds together and he found Quincy and

747
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 4: like he really like he knew exactly what he wanted

748
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 4: and he it can't sound nothing like what I've done before.

749
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 4: Like that mindset is something out Like it's like I'm

750
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 4: obsessed with it because it's like there's so many ways

751
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 4: to do so many things, like and it's like it's

752
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: rare that like I'll be in the studio a lot

753
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 4: of people and I try to explain certain things and

754
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 4: it's like I can tell us like this messenger, you

755
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, And I hate that. But it's

756
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 4: like sometimes like a nigga, like Eric Bellinger one of

757
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 4: the best voices. I'll be like like whenever, whenever, like

758
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: he get to doing all his melodies and I start that.

759
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: When that, when that w and I start putting the

760
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 4: poetry in, I feel so like vindicated, Like I want

761
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 4: to I want to do that on a more like

762
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 4: more often with people that like trust this process or whatever.

763
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 4: Like that's like a big thing because I'm the next

764
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 4: thing that if I can do the next thing what

765
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 4: I'm trying to do right, it's gonna shake it up

766
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: even more because I gave hints.

767
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Of it on his album, but it's more to be done.

768
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: As we're talking to ell Mean earlier, it's a great

769
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: time to be creative. Yeah, it is like now it is.

770
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: It also is like around sometimes it's a little bit

771
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: frustrating though, because it's so much music coming up. It's

772
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 3: so much like it really shouldn't be a job of

773
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: a consumer that's spent like an hour and a half

774
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: trying to find what they like, you know what I'm saying.

775
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: Like it shouldn't.

776
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 3: And it's like people like music for different reasons now,

777
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: like there's a good population that like something just because

778
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: it's ironic. It's like it's kind of not good and

779
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: it ended up blowing up a little bit, like it's

780
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 3: just in a weird place and like you know, you

781
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 3: see Leon Thomas on stage with it, like he's just

782
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 3: like stokedly all over again, singing, play guitar, play the drums, crazy,

783
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: like you should be talking about this actually more than

784
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 3: we are talking about it.

785
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: But there's so much.

786
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: Coming out that there's about a hundred there's a hundred

787
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 3: fuckers that sound exactly the same, a hundred like the

788
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: whispers sing girls like the Whiskey's in the jar and

789
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: I got it going, park Man, I'm going like like

790
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, like that it's cool, but

791
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: it's like a lot and you know what I'm saying.

792
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of shit in a way. So

793
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 3: it's like when you are creative, if you kind of

794
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: can get lost in the lost in this thing. So

795
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: what's your thoughts on gatekeepers? Like do we need them

796
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: because some people say we don't. Uh, it depends because

797
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 3: I mean I'm a nigga. That's like, man, these niggas

798
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 3: is like like the y'all gate keeping the access to

799
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: what I really like, like I wanted I wanted to

800
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 3: work with Jimmy jam Terry Lewis so bad, and I'm like,

801
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: I'm asking a couple of people like and it was

802
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 3: like I can feel, you know what I'm saying, gate

803
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 3: keeper Boom, Now Rogers, I want to work with Now Roders,

804
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: I want to do some black pop, like black disco

805
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 3: stuff and just write it and da da da. Taming Paul.

806
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get the tame Paul. I'm trying to

807
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 3: mix him like with some stuff from home. And I

808
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: got some ideas. So I can't access a lot of

809
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: niggas that that people think I can that I reached

810
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: out to. And that's gate keeping right there, you know

811
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But I just like, but I'm also

812
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 3: trying to I don't think that's the same gatekeeping. We

813
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 3: ain't it when when somebody saying you can't, I'm.

814
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 4: Talking about like control right where you're like like like

815
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 4: putting put and less stuff like left them uploading less

816
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 4: stuff on the e streaming services. Yeah, I mean where

817
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: you have we're obviously we have right where you have

818
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 4: people that you had to take it to and it

819
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: had to pass a certain level.

820
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 3: We had on Julie Green walls andre stuff like that

821
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 3: we don't really have all we don't because we.

822
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 4: Exactly with the Wild West and it's been pushed out.

823
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 4: So that's why I asked, like.

824
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: What he said, there's so much coming out because there's

825
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: no's no getting it's so easy.

826
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: It's so easy to upload, upload it from your room,

827
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: like there's no process to print it out and do

828
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: the photo shoot and do all the stuff. Like it's

829
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 3: just kind of easy, like the process has got cheaper.

830
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, like maybe the gate keeper,

831
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 3: like maybe the fact that it is the wild Wild

832
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: West is making niggas work harder, but the niggas at

833
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: the top work harder. But to me, it's just sad

834
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 3: when it's like I hear like some music that's well

835
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: thought out, well produced, well arranged and everything, and it's

836
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 3: it's like stuck on a playlist with like a troll

837
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: song and the song that's like not good, Like that's

838
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: it frustrates me to see artists go through that.

839
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: I also think that I also think that on the

840
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: positive side of it, it separates separates the week from

841
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: the tear, like because in order to be heard amongst

842
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: all of this noise, you gotta be special. Yeah, there's

843
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: a special spectrum, and then there's this is absolutely ridiculous

844
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: and it's just gonna cut through. Right. But when I'm

845
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: just talking about the truly special things and the people

846
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: that are truly special, those conversations speak like the people

847
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: who are who are being heard. And as we go

848
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: back to Leon Thomas, like that's an unavoidable conversation because

849
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: it's just that special. Yeah, and like you said, it

850
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: needs to be screamed more. Yeah, and it's and it's

851
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: cutting through, not because so much of the screaming conversation,

852
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: which he deserves, but back to it's just fucking incredible.

853
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's it's it's up to us all

854
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 4: too to be a part of that, Yeah, to be

855
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 4: a part of that conversation, to be a part of

856
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 4: the promotion of it.

857
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 5: And toot.

858
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 3: There's there's platforms, man, you know, there's platforms that again

859
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 3: that that won't reach until like well you know he

860
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 3: got the multiple grammy so and the mmkay kline like

861
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 3: they both in another conversation. But I've seen Kate work

862
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 3: for ten years to get to what, you know, what

863
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So, yeah, it's it's It's a tricky thing though,

864
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 3: and I don't want to be the person to say

865
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: because I am the messenger that they're going to kill,

866
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: so I don't don't it's no, don't kill the messenger.

867
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 3: They already lined me up from like fifteen things I

868
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: said already is already gonna be like I'm happy today,

869
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: I'm just happy to my phone off.

870
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: But no, I think that you know everything, everything that

871
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: you're saying. Like for us, it's like it's like giving

872
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: given our guys an opportunity to to speak context, you

873
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean. A lot of people want a

874
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: lot of people want these sound bites and these clicks

875
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: to create some type of dissension or negativity and use

876
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: that as an algorithm builder for that platform. And that's

877
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: why we wanted you on our platform, because we wanted

878
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: you to be able to speak in context and and

879
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: have your voice heard, the entire thought of your voice heard.

880
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's the important part of it, because

881
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: people will have to be able to hear the whole conversation,

882
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: and that's what that's why we wanted you here. I'm

883
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: like the nigga's dope. You just you have to listen

884
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: to what he's saying, but your listen to the whole thing,

885
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: and that's what we're about. That's why you're here. That's

886
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: what nigga. When you say you are who you are, nigga,

887
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: we actually wanted to believe it. I appreciate that and

888
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: support it. I appreciate that, you know what I'm saying,

889
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: and I just I just need you, man, I need

890
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: you know. I'm not gonna go to that. You know.

891
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: You know I'm right here, man, and I'm right here

892
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: that uh as we as we as we speak music.

893
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm also like, as I alluded to, in terms of

894
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: your artistry, I feel like you're you're one of the

895
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: rare ones that that that are complete artists because it

896
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: doesn't just stop in the studio for you, like you're

897
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: always I think artistry is so many things like and

898
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: it starts first with when you walk in the room

899
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: and people see you. That's the first thing. And every

900
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: time I see you, I'm like, oh this about to

901
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: get on stage? Man? What does that mean? They compliment me?

902
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: That's why I get nervous.

903
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: What I mean, Like my Jay Rok, that compliment got

904
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: me on the road.

905
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: What what's that? What is that?

906
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: Positivity? Is supposed to mean something positive, but that's the

907
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 3: that to me, like that can get lost for artists.

908
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: How do you mean, because how you present yourself as

909
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 3: an artist.

910
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: Is so important and so key because a lot of

911
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: times the conversation can be about your music, but then

912
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: also the conversation can be about you as an individual,

913
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: like you're you're the things that are organic to you,

914
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: your style and your move and how you move and

915
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: all of these things. Although that is directly a correlation

916
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: within your artistry. And I think I'm celebrating you and

917
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: giving you a compliment all at the same time, I

918
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: think you do a great job of that. You don't

919
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't you don't chase, You don't chase in that space,

920
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: Like to me, you have a thing that is very

921
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: wilaya that it's connected organically to the music.

922
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it's being stubborn. I guess you

923
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 3: Like this is really like I ain't never really I

924
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 3: never really been like a clique person in this industry,

925
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 3: Like I kind of just be doing my own thing

926
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 3: because I seen too much like early, so you know,

927
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 3: I never really got too much influence from from nothing

928
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: but nobody, especially in the industry.

929
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

930
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 3: I think I think I look home and influenced me

931
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 3: more than anything.

932
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, which leads me into and I want

933
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: to make sure I'm saying that's right. This this Nike

934
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: collabse Yeah, I mean you gotta say something about that.

935
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: It's fun.

936
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 3: It was cool charging my man Malachi, you know, Don

937
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: and everybody here, But uh it was it just good.

938
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 3: It was like a little they wanted to launch a

939
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 3: new model. You know what I'm saying. It's not easy

940
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 3: to launch my new model. It's easy to do colorways,

941
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 3: not easy to launch a.

942
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: Brand new model. So was they model model off their

943
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: new model? So it was good.

944
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 3: My man Frank you know, you know them good guys

945
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 3: in Nike basketball. They put to play together U kaz Andy.

946
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: They worked with my creative director Pier and they put

947
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 3: it together and that was a little moment for the city.

948
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 3: And then we got like a really really really really

949
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 3: really limited Nike boot.

950
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 4: So I don't know, was that something you always set out,

951
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 4: uh like earlier because you said you worked at shoe stores.

952
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 3: I set out. I set out to do some things

953
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 3: in the sneaker business. Yeah, I still I haven't achieved

954
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 3: them yet, but you know, this, this was this was good,

955
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 3: this was cool. Well, this Nike thing that we just

956
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 3: did was good. But I got big dreams. It's a

957
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: hell of a start though. Yeah Nike, Yeah, it's not normal.

958
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: It's good. Good called me. They can't call me do

959
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: nothing like. It's very few people that don't play a professionals.

960
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: I can only name two.

961
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 5: Kevin Hart, three, three who you Travis?

00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: And yeah? Four so four four that's off the top

963
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: of my head. I can name more. But that would

964
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: that would that would?

965
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 3: You know? I don't want to take away from what

966
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: you'll point you're trying to make. It's a good thing,

967
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: not just a good thing. I just I don't get it.

968
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 3: I don't get like overly excited about stuff that I

969
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: know that it could be way more. It's a colorway

970
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: to a shoe. They launched it, I got, I got

971
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 3: a gazillion people are mad at me because they ain't

972
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 3: get them. You know what I'm saying.

973
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: Who knows if we're going to do anything else, it

974
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: might just be that. So I don't know, you don't know.

975
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get excited. Well, if we do more with Nike,

976
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 3: I will come in here doing cartwheels. Let's see what

977
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 3: you think about right, You're all right?

978
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: Then? Is that right? Then I answer?

979
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: Then I answered, I don't want you to get no

980
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 3: car likeey huh okay, yeah, cause now you know it's

981
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: like you know, you know, like there's a lot like

982
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: a lot. The major shoe company has been trying to

983
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 3: do something with me for a while, but you know,

984
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to do stuff for like more stuff

985
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 3: DC culture, more stuff like soccer not Jeria soccer like

986
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: more stuff like just more ideas, more camps, more like

987
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: fashion like DC fashion like a CGS like more innovation

988
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: more or more just like I know, I know what

989
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 3: I know what I bring to the table. They know

990
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 3: what I bring to the table. That's why they launched

991
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 3: a new model with with us so and it was

992
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 3: it's very successful. So if I can get into my

993
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 3: sway back, no where you're going? Are there any you

994
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 3: got the dancers?

995
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: Are there any hold ups in terms of you you

996
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: you're doing your own putting this moving together? What with

997
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: everything you're talking with me?

998
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: Not really not really maybe a little bit maybe resources

999
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 3: maybe or you know, the partnership, like you know, those

1000
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 3: things don't happen. It's like they're easy, but there's you know,

1001
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 3: there's a couple of hurdles. It's not like you can

1002
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 3: just roll out of bed and start something like that.

1003
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 3: But you know there's something that depth that's definitely like

1004
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 3: on the move board, like you're trying with this.

1005
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: This is a strong possibility.

1006
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 3: But you know, the main thing, the main thing right now,

1007
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 3: touring big records, got it, got it, a little film

1008
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 3: mantle say this little film, little.

1009
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: Film, and what's what's going on?

1010
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 3: I can't really say, but like you know, I'm not

1011
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 3: all the way down with that yet.

1012
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: I just think in this, you know, I don't. I

1013
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: don't especially in that that organically makes sense to you,

1014
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 1: Like if while if while they dropped the line, I'm

1015
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: checking to see what that is, absolutely man, But that's

1016
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: why I like, you do that, me, I do that.

1017
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: I need to do that right.

1018
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 3: I need to do it one hundred percent right, yeah,

1019
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 3: the first time, but now as a as a gazillion

1020
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 3: sneaker company. So you know, but that that's that, that's

1021
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: that's something that takes a lot of time, a lot

1022
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: of band with a pretty decent team to do it right.

1023
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: But it also takes it also takes an entity that

1024
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: we trust, right, so as we as we as we

1025
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: said with Yea, like we had seen him doing so

1026
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: much in terms of evolving from a fashion point to

1027
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 1: where when he dropped something, it was a certain trust

1028
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: that we had in wearing his name. Yeah right, yeah,

1029
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: And so for you, you've always been in this space

1030
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: of Nigga from a fashion standpoint, I do something different

1031
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: than nobody else. Does. I own this space right here?

1032
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: And so that's what that's my mind saying that Nigga,

1033
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: if you drop something, we're trusting that.

1034
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1035
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 3: I was like like a lot of companies like like

1036
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 3: we're bet on that. But you know, I've been in

1037
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 3: the rooms when they they don't they don't say they

1038
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: don't see it like that, you know what I'm saying. So,

1039
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 3: but you know, I much just see how this year

1040
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 3: play out. But you know, we want to do what

1041
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 3: we what we want to do bigger things, that's all.

1042
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 5: Did you set out out musically.

1043
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: To mix.

Speaker 5: Was that like A Was that like a thing that

1047
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,200

00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 5: these type of records.

1049
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: No.

1050
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 3: Never, all I wanted to do was made like when

Speaker 3: just me rapping and I remember like being so proud

1072
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 3: of that. Jont and I remember playing it in there,

1073
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 3: and I remember Marlin told me like a little later,

1074
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, he said, all you could do is rap,

1075
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 3: like you can't make a song song. So like that weekend,

1076
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: I made dig the like I just I was like,

1077
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 3: I'm on the way to work and I got to

1078
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 3: beat from Southeast Slim.

1079
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: I was just like, I just made it. I was like,

1080
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a song. I'm much just make this.

1081
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 3: Jump crank for no reason, just absolutely just crazy, just

1082
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 3: make and they started playing it blew up immediately. Then

1083
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,479
Speaker 3: they started saying he a go go rapper. You can't

1084
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 3: make like you know what I'm saying. So my whole

1085
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 3: that was my introduction to what Nigga telling me I

1086
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 3: can and can't do. So from that point on, it

1087
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: is like when I make a song, that's that I

1088
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 3: want people to enjoy in these places, I'm gonna make

1089
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 3: it the best way I can. If I'm rapping, I'm

1090
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 3: just getting my shit off. I'm going to make it

1091
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 3: as good as I can. They're gonna relate or not.

1092
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 3: If I make some that I think might be leaning

1093
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 3: to girls, whatever, I'm gonna make it as best as

1094
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 3: I can. Whether that be saying enough that make them

1095
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 3: get go or laugh, run it back, or make it

1096
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: enough that enough men will relate to what I'm saying.

1097
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. It's just whatever the arena

1098
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 3: is that I'm in, I'm gonna make it the best

1099
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 3: I can. I just think that women are more receptive

1100
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: because they just it's a song good, or that it's

1101
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 3: not like, oh, you know there's other thing like niggas

1102
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 3: be having crushing off crushes on these other like rappers

1103
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 3: for them to like the song whatever. Like women just

1104
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 3: like the song it's good. So I've had success there.

1105
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 3: But I also think I have some of the best

1106
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 3: verses out of every year for the past fifteen years.

1107
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 3: I got some of the best verses of the year.

1108
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: So you know, whatever is like, I get a knife

1109
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 3: one to be, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to smoke it.

1110
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 3: If I get you know, I get to Tony Tony

1111
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 3: Tony sample, I'm gonna want you try to give it.

1112
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 3: Tell us, tell a story, make it consistent, put a

1113
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 3: little put a little ear worm here and there. Like

1114
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, I just make it the

1115
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 3: best that I can. Like whatever is in front of

Speaker 3: me that I'm excited about.

1117
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: H what's just the overview right now? What do you?

1118
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: What do you? What are you trying to tell people

1119
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: with this project? Everything is a lot I'm trying to

1120
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: tell them everything when you're manager walking bestaid. That is

1121
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: a wildlife title I've ever heard one.

1122
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 3: But from a from a from a but artist perspective,

1123
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 3: like just like, don't like stop comparing me to certain

1124
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 3: people from a music standpoint, like like stop putting me

1125
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 3: in this box of Like just like this is just music.

1126
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 3: Like Blanco was like a blue song. Lonely is like

1127
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 3: another blue song, you know what I'm saying. Like there's

1128
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 3: a lot of genre bendon Like I write these I

1129
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: come up with these concepts like like look deeper into

1130
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like like I see y'all break a

1131
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: breakdown a lot of other people's music, like break this

1132
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 3: down just because I got the records on the radio.

1133
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 3: Don't like, listen to what I'm saying, Like, listen to

1134
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 3: it sound good, it feel good. Yeah, that's the first test.

1135
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 3: Now really go into what I'm saying. That's what I'm like,

1136
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 3: and I know, I know it hasn't really happened to

1137
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 3: the highest level yet because there's some there's things in

1138
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 3: that album people ain't gonna get into, like maybe like

1139
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 3: in the summer.

1140
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1141
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 3: It's all in there though. That's that's what I'm really

1142
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 3: saying as an artist on this album. Again, it's a

1143
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 3: great time to be creative, great too, great toom just

1144
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 3: just creative TikTok, dance with it too though. I like

1145
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 3: creativity is cool for me. The algorithm, toad. Fuck your

1146
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 3: creativity wears with your camera and your angle, look in

1147
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 3: your lighting look like give your dad bigger better, Dan,

1148
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 3: you better make something up man something marketing unfortunately, streaming

1149
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: like Lincoln with streamers. That might be the thing too.

1150
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: I think that might be like kind of plateau on

1151
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 3: but it ain't just creativity. Well yeah, I mean I

1152
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 3: just think that.

1153
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: I just think that the side of the time, you know,

1154
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: with Caliney, with with with Leon, with the way Chris

1273
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,480
