Was 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.360 you were you ever in that lane? Um? Nah, I 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.480 don't feel like I was over in that lane. I 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.280 never wanted to be in the lane of outcasting goody Mark, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.080 But most definitely I respect what they do and I've 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.400 learned a lot from them. Absolutely. Now, at what point 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.480 did you did God tell you he was blessing all 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:18.240 the trap? Man? Like? When did you? H? Man? It 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.080 was just me being creative and just trying to find 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.000 another way to reach the people. You know what I'm saying, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.400 by giving them something inspirational to look up to. So 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.680 it just me like, God blessing the trap. You've been 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.000 at the radio station, this is your trap. I feel 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.799 like people are always when we when we're back in 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.280 the day, you say trapped, You trapped in the situation. 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.400 You know what I'm saying. So I'm just adding light 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.640 and making the word bigger than what it is. And 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720 so it's just like, if you trapped in a situation, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.320 God gonna bless you to get out of it. I'm 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.040 glad to hear that because I'll be tweeting out God 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.639 blessing all the radio because right, I don't feel like 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.519 I'm in the trap, but I understand what you're saying. Yeah, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.720 and now I can tweet trap. I'm feeling like I'm front. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.680 There was a period of time that you had moved 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.720 to lay Did you feel like you had to move 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.000 back to Atlanta because you were getting away from the 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.440 roots of what it is that you doing or Nah, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.320 I feel like, uh man, I'm just missing family. And 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.120 you know what I mean. Like once you once you 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.760 do a few things and you're not comfortable with it, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.480 you just have to go back to what you're comfortable 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.160 with doing. And it comes to me being at home, 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.680 being around my my grandparents and being around my kids, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.720 majority of my kids in Atlanta and my family and 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.720 my brothers, my nieces, my nephews. They look up to me, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.919 and it's hard when I'm all the LA. I'm spending 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.920 majority of my time in LA. So I had to 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.040 just come back to Atlanta when your music come out. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.880 I mean, you got so many clubs. Yeah, it's clubs. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.600 There's so many clubs. It's it's different vibes in Atlanta. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.640 You know what I'm saying. LA Nothing wrong with LA. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.240 It's a pieceful vibe. When you go out there, I 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.800 feel like you can get a lot of business done. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.040 Now that was I used to talk to DJs in Atlanta. 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.040 This one, like the Me Goals and Young Doug were 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.360 like popping popping. I was like, what happened in the future, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.000 and it was like future in Hollywood. He said that 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:09.520 what DJ said that from No Atlanta, but he didn't 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.040 mean it in a bad way. He was just like, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.600 you moved out to LA you haven't been around in 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.359 a while. I wonder what he'd think now. They're probably 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.760 playing your hunt exactly like man. People are gonna always 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.159 they don't see where you're going. When you hit it today, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.200 they're gonna tell you, hey, you're doing this, you're doing this, 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.360 but they don't see what I'm gonna be at next year. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.400 It's impossible. I know what I'm doing, I know the 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.039 work I'm putting in. Did you did you purposely choose 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.000 not to do no features on none of the mixtapes 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.279 fifty six Nights? Yeah? Because I had so many features 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.840 on honest, and I dealt with so much with having features, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.360 and you got to deal with so many egos and 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.520 lawyers and such and such managers you deal with like 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.719 ten other people. When you deal with artists and you 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.479 have five artists, you're dealing with fifty different people and 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.080 fifty different egos, and just be so much. I didn't 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.000 want to go through that again, just wanted to be 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.320 all about me. What made what made you come back 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.640 so hard with the music? Was it the response to Pluto, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.400 Because I mean, as a guy that's been listening to 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.279 your mixtapure to get it, I was disappointed and Pluto 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.280 I loved. I deserve it. I told them yesterday on Pluto. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.360 I wasn't disappointed with Pluto, but I knew I could 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:09.719 have did it a different way. It sound like the 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.640 label made you do that album, Like like I want 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.120 to say that, yeah, like it wasn't even the label, 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.120 because I feel like at the end of the day, 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.440 like right now, I'm not I'm not taking no advice. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.160 I did take advice before, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.880 So turn On the Lights. It could have waited it. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.720 Turn On the Lights was a big record. It was 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.800 number one record. Never End was good for me. But 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.520 I feel like I could have waited to the next 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.800 album after that and introduced them to Turn On Lights 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.880 another because they was gonna be hits anyway. Whenever they 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.679 came out right same damn time was already on the radio, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.520 Magic was going top ten, Tournament Town them was on 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.000 the radio. Just had came off, you know, what I'm saying, 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.839 Like I had been put out the mixtapes, so going 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.160 into Pluto instead of having a parachute or a song 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.320 like that, Hey post have been with another street record, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.120 you know what I'm saying. So a lot of records 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.440 that was commercial that I'm trying to chase that lane. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.320 It just I was doing it taking advice, thinking this 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.800 the way I need to get it, This is way 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.279 I need to do to have success, when you probably 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.960 just want to do it your own way so you'll 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.760 be more comfortable. You're gonna wake up and feel good 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.120 about it at the end of the day that you 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.560 made all the right decisions to a market that it 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.360 might not have known. But I had to come back. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.040 I feel like a new artist right now. Yeah man, Yeah, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.240 everything that I went through, it prepared me for what 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.279 I'm going through now. But I had to take a 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.200 step back, Like I had to go back to mixtapes. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.720 After you drop album, you're planning on never dropping the 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.360 mixtape again, supposed to keep going, you know what I'm saying. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.840 But I had to come back. Drop the months to 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.960 be smoke. If it's just six nights and now I'm 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.560 back on my back on track we're dropping Dirty Spright too. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.200 Now it's a mixtables, it's an album. It's an album. Confused, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.200 did it start off as a mixtable us? Now? I 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.359 never started off a mixtape. I wanted people to feel 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.080 like it was a mixtape. So Jake is the only 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.480 feature you have on this mixtape. But there are other 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.920 people who you considered but they didn't make the cut 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.600 or you consciously said and Jake, that's my brother. I'm 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.440 putting only Drake on here. I wasn't planning on having 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.080 any features. He called a day I was about to 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.520 turn an album, and I was like, I gotta turn 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.240 an album.

They was 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.600 cool with it, but they were just like, man, we 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.720 can't promote dirty. You should tell him don't not get 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.480 till you try to prod and cod We got to 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.480 find out way, but I do.

Now, how did you and drinke resolve 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.160 your issues because you made the cop Well, they said 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.960 the comes with taking another context. Yeah, yeah, it was 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.840 still board about drink drinks. Music doesn't make people feel 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.960 this and where yours? Does I say make hits? I 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.600 didn't say that his music didn't make he would feel 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.840 the same way. Um, they didn't make my music make 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.480 people feel But at the same time, man, we resolved 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.360 the issue. We waved past that. They're back on the 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.240 road with each other now. Yeah, back on the road, 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.120 back doing music, shooting videos over your face on the way. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.400 So it shouldn't it be that kind of friendly competition 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.040 or like, shouldn't you feel like, yeah, I make better 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.400 music than you, and he should feel like you make 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.000 better than you. It should be that kind of competition, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.320 all right. At the end of the day, man, I 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.480 feel like what you talk when with me and him 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.040 sit down and have a conversation about that's the only 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.319 thing that world should already. I always worry about you 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.079 know what I'm saying. When you try to get in 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.200 these interviews and you speak on a person that can't 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.160 speak back for theirselves while you write that, then the 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.160 non't need to talk about it. True. Do you feel 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.240 like a lot of artists took your sound? Because I'm 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.120 hearing a future a lot of future issue sounds, and 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.240 I don't think they took my sound like they didn't 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.839 take it. I probably inspired I was in I was 0:08:54.960 --> 0:09:03.679 an inspiration, That's definitely. That wasn't talking. But I always 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:08.240 say I feel like future. Yeah, I probably inspired him. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.920 I'm not for sure.

As far 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.760 as interviews and stuff, at at one point you couldn't 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.600 find a future interviews. Man, I never wanted to do interviews. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.480 Even doing this interview. I was like, Man, I'm doing 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.840 only the breakfast Club and I'm doing one more interview, 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.920 so whatever y'all want to do. It was like, man, 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.679 let's do breakfast Club. I'm like, I'm with it, but 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.240 I'm not doing a bunch of interviews. And every interview 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.600 I walk in and ask me the same questions. I'm 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.480 not doing that. As like, I've been doing these mixtapes 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.560 without doing any interviews, and I'm doing great. Don't you 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.199 feel like a lot of times a lot in the interviews, right? 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.280 You did? Like a long interview with Humpington Post Live. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.839 It was like forty minute song. I watched the whole thing, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.880 but all the headlines are like youture talks about Sierra 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.920 and why they broke up and how they prayed after sex, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.720 and it's like that's the headline, But what about everything 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.920 else that's about exactly life? Man. That's why I don't 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.680 even be wanting to talk about it, because why y'all 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.520 even bring it up? Fun y'all knew these people are 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.120 gonna say this, right, I mean, you already anticipate that. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.320 I anticipated it, but I just wanted to speak on 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.120 my side. It was my side of the story. Now 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.800 I'm over it after I speake spoke my side because 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.440 she wasn't telling the side. It was just like she 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.880 was just letting it go along whatever the people thought 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.240 about me. She wasn't saying, hey, don't say that about him. 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.199 You know when people have when people they have, they 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.160 come together and as a couple. When you when you separate, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.640 y'all put out like a statement saying like let us 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.560 live our respectable lives, like don't leave us alone. We 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.080 went out separate ways because of issues that we had 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.360 and we want everybody to keep our privacy. Yeah, like 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.320 she just went along with the cheating rooms and never 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.560 say anything like issue a statement saying leave our personal 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.280 life alone and I wouldn't have to say anything about it. Well, 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.920 I feel like a statement you wished out him. I 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.600 could be wrong. The song throw Away, the second half 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.520 of that song was that record about Sierra when you 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.120 know it wasn't it was about any girl to feel 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.120 like that's what it's all about. If it's about just 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.760 get it over with, because that's what it's like. If 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.240 it's about anything, I'm not gonna worried about Now Charlemagne 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.800 has a theory about Sierra well the future. Actually, you 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.360 tweeted out a couple of weeks ago you said you 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.400 got that curse up off you and now you're back 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.760 like you never left. So I feel like Sierra maybe 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.880 curse because you look at what happened with Amar Star 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.880 de Maya by Wow fifty Music even fell off a lot. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:43.880 I'm back. I guess you gotta have a baby, not 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:48.520 the curse. But I'm bad. I ain't thinking about her, man, 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.480 I swear it. Man, I'm not thinking about her. Man. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.040 I want her to be totally happy. Like you gotta 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.560 understand you want a person to be happy. You're like 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.520 you have an ex girlfriend that you had, but you're 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.200 gonna have to be happy. You're gonna still be better 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.959 because she moved on. I'm not better. He would think 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.880 I'm better because she moved on. I'm good. I'm taking 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.079 care of me. I don't need him. She needed him. Yeah. Now, now, 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.160 it was it true when you did you put a 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:17.560 gun emojis with a football emojis? Man, I didn't. I 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.560 didn't do that, but they thought I did it. I 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.120 wouldn't do something like that, but if you see another 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.000 man pushing your baby cats, it might make you feel 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.960 a way, a little bit fe It'll make you feel away. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.319 But they wouldn't go to the point one for and 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.400 put some emojis on a Facebook It was a fake 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.800 Facebook page. They put it on me that she even 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.160 thought it was real. She got lawyers started calling about 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.280 that man everything. It got serious. You know what I'm 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.720 saying for something that I wouldn't even do, Like, so, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.840 of course I wouldn't want somebody to push my son, 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.600 Like that's the number one rule. Like, I agree. If 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.360 I was a kid and my MoMA a dude pushing me, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.679 I would have jumped out of the stroller slot out 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.000 of I agree. I felt you never do that in 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.040 our community. You don't even bring a man around. I 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.120 ain't your son, for you don't even know this dude. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.720 A few months and you're bringing around your kid. Who 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.640 does that? Nobody does that as a man. He shouldn't 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.360 do that. He should be like, nah, I'm doing that. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.320 But you know he probably didn't know that. She set 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.920 him up. He got nanny's, you got assistance around you. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.400 Anybody could have pushed the stroller, you letting them people 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.960 catch that because you know what it is. But at 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.480 the end of the day, I'm not for the publicity stunts. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.840 Leave my son out of all the publicity stunts. Just 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.480 leave him out of your relationship because we don't need 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.240 your relationship for anything. I can take care of him 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.480 on my own without any help. I don't need no 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.160 help taking care of my son. Is that one of 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.839 the reasons the relationship didn't work because of all the 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.559 paper Rozzi. I wouldn't say the popa rights. It is 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.360 just I do it. I do my thing a different 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.600 kind of way. You move like a drug dealer. Future 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:53.959 people still, oh man, that's a money now It's okay man, Yeah, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.920 but man, you gotta stick to your loose man. What 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.960 you know? This is what I know. I know the streets. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.239 I don't know about the paper rose out of Zetoven, 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.839 Metro Booming, eight Away, Mafia, Mike Will made it. Who 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.880 you think brings out the best in future? Um the 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:11.600 best man. That's hard because at times Mike Well, Mike 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.480 Will made him would die for you, man, Absolutely, he 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:20.480 talks about you like that's my brother. Yea forever forever man, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.760 Mike Well, we got history. We communicate on a dirty Sprite. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.360 He not on the album, but we have something playing. 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.360 You know what I'm saying, Man, Mike, we're great friends, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.880 and so him bringing something out of me at times 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.440 it is a great a great saying that. It's not 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.680 bad to say. But Metro he do inspire me. And 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.160 Ate Away Mafia they inspire me. Also. Now, now what 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:41.520 Mike does he get? I mean, I'm sure he don't 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.760 get up set because that's your man. But out of loyalty, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.360 do you feel like I gotta have him on just 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.480 even if I just gotta have him on the record. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.760 Now he understood, He understood. I told him, Man, we 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.640 built something great. We gotta uh, we gotta continue to 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.360 build on that. He got Ray Shreman, he got his 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.240 own record label. Now, when we started, he didn't have 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.240 a record label. It was just me and him coming 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.080 to my sessions. He probably give a beat to Meat 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.440 or Gucci, and that's the only people he probably was 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.960 working with at that time when I first was coming up. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.360 Then he started spreading Now you go to Mildest sires A. 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.800 Zack produced my album, Beasza produced my album. So we're 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.680 good in business, we're good. Our friendship is great. The 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.440 way he didn't fit the sound of this album, or 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.600 I just wanted to go another diuration and like he's 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.240 not super busy too. I'm sure he's super super busy. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:26.720 It's like we can't get in the studio for a 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.520 week straight because you have obligations that the he have 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.440 to attend. Now, how much do album sales matter to you? 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.680 Like you said before, your mixtapes do incredible? Singles do incredible? 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.560 Doesn't matter to you? Are you like, well, I need 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.280 to sell this amount to feel like you know, I've 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.640 this is successful, or I need to redegotiate my deal 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.000 to feel successful. You renegotiate your deal and get more money. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.000 That's when you're successful. Well, I have to do it 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.960 this time around. It But isn't it hard to renegotiate 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.560 your deal with these labels because they don't really got 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.440 to gauge on what's going on in the street, you 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.800 know what I'm saying, Like, like, but I'm a writer, 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.800 so I pretty much set the trend. You know what 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.520 I'm saying. If I'm not writing for my stuff, I'm 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.200 writing for another artist and so they know that, you 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.680 know what I mean. They're like, man, he can write 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.800 a hit I can make a hit for me and 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.240 for others or for that that reason alone, You're gonna 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.640 be around for a long time. What was the conversation 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.400 like with you and with you and hold we saw 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.640 the picture of you and Jay. Now I wouldn't talk. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.400 I was at this crib. I was actually working with 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.760 b and he was there. Oh yeah, So it wasn't 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.520 a conversation with Jay met him out a dope conversation. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.320 We had actually sat down. He was like, man, I 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.800 love what you're doing. Keep doing what you're doing. Man, 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.440 Jay is a great dude. I always wanted to know 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.200 what um now. He said, you're working with be you 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.440 got a new album coming out. I don't know if 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.360 she had a new album coming out, but as an artist, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.120 I know you want to just continue to being creative 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.280 and make songs and make music. I was gonna ask that, like, 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.080 how do you decide where songs go? Like you you 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.960 wrote Body Party and Sierra Kip did that song and 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.160 it was a big record. How do you decide where 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.080 song goals? Like you could have gave Body Party to 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.400 Beyonce at that time, at the time when I was like, man, 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.640 this is what she needs. She need by the party. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.880 She need that. I promise she needs that ride it 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.600 she need that ridet. I meant she to jump her 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.960 album off. She had dropped four singles and all the 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.800 singles just wasn't doing anything. Then I came in and 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.600 I was like, hey, Mike, Will was like, I got 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.959 this body part of the beat. He was like, I 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.480 have a beat. Then when I heard the beat, he 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.199 was like, man, I think Sierra need is beat. Like 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.040 I'm working with her today. Then we did the beat. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.679 That was the first song we ever did. What um now, 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:25.879 I ain't charging for that? You wish you had charged now? 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.879 It was a great it was It was great for 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.359 the both of us. Man, I feel like it was 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:30.920 a great thing for the both of us. What happened 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.919 after that because we never heard any more music like 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.560 that after that different direction, She went a different direction. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:41.240 I saw you. I think it was no it was Wilson, Yeah, yeah, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.400 And you said she wanted to go chase the popline. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:45.639 She just felt like she wanted to take her album 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.600 in another direction. How do you feel about dating celebrities now? 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.080 Is it something that you're like, I don't want to 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.080 do that again and getting mixed up with that they 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.840 have to accept me just how I am and I 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.880 try to change. Did you try to did she try 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.120 to change you? Did you try to change? I tried 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.720 to change, which with the fashion shows and Paris not 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.200
