Speaker 3: I always like to say this. This is one of
Speaker 3: the groups that you guys don't break up at all, y'all,

Speaker 3: a breakup.
Speaker 4: There's always man, we we like each other.

Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, shout out on the street.
Speaker 3: Let's I always like the stuff from the beginning when
Speaker 3: you guys come here. So how did y'all guys form
Speaker 3: the group? For people that don't know, how did Jagged
Speaker 3: Edge form?
Speaker 1: All? Right? Whoever want to take this?
Speaker 4: Well, me and my brother was in the womb, but
Speaker 4: we had this group when we first got to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: You know, we was about fifteen years old, like.
Speaker 4: First to somebody. So we were in another group when
Speaker 4: we first got to Atlanta, not we first got there,
Speaker 4: but when we first started singing, and it was two
Speaker 4: other guys and we sang it the church picnic. Kyle
Speaker 4: was at the church picnic. He came to at the
Speaker 4: church and said, listen, man, I got a group. Why
Speaker 4: once y'a dropped the other two and come get with.
Speaker 1: So we didn't know that though.
Speaker 4: We used to see kyl Ord anyway because me and
Speaker 4: him was basketball players and his cousin was playing on
Speaker 4: our team.
Speaker 1: So we knew each other from that in passing.
Speaker 4: And then once we actually sat down and talked and
Speaker 4: we realized he could sing two, we put it together.
Speaker 4: It was another member at first, and uh he fills
Speaker 4: with out somewhere along the way, and we picked that winger.
Speaker 4: And you know what I mean, I've been together ever
Speaker 4: since we about fifteen know, we've been in this group.
Speaker 1: That was.
Speaker 2: Now, where did the name come from?
Speaker 1: The name came from?
Speaker 4: If y'all remember, I think back to I think I
Speaker 4: want to say like ninety one ninety two. It was
Speaker 4: a group came out of Atlanta called a Few Good Men.
Speaker 4: They were signed to the face, So just the name
Speaker 4: of their group got me looking at movie titles. And
Speaker 4: during this time, I happen to be at Candy House, right,
Speaker 4: and she had all these movies, like all these just
Speaker 4: you know, rolls of movies, and I started looking at
Speaker 4: the movies and when I seen the movie.
Speaker 1: Jagged it It's almost like it jumped out, like hey,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And so I said to them and everybody was like yeah,
Speaker 4: Like not one person pushed back.
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, yeah, that's the dope.
Speaker 7: And this was after y'all were already signed to You
Speaker 7: had a relationship with Candy before?
Speaker 4: Yes, only like a year, like a year prior to
Speaker 4: us signing, Okay, And.
Speaker 8: What was the relationship was it just like music stuff
Speaker 8: like well we went to.
Speaker 4: School, We're gonna went to school with Candy. They was
Speaker 4: in high school together, graduated. So when we did our demo,
Speaker 4: he had took the Candy House just playing it for
Speaker 4: just like you know, getting her approval. Wasn't even trying
Speaker 4: to get a deal or nothing. She liked it so
Speaker 4: much she was like she called Win the one day,
Speaker 4: like you still in that group, y'all still you're still
Speaker 4: trying to get a deal. He was like, yeah, so
Speaker 4: we made the deal with Kenny. If you get us
Speaker 4: a deal, you can manage us. She got us a deal.
Speaker 4: So she was our first manager.
Speaker 7: She gets to the money in the business side. How
Speaker 7: was she How was she as a manager in the
Speaker 7: early days.
Speaker 1: I mean she was getting a seat with.
Speaker 9: But I'll always tell anybody, like as far as being
Speaker 9: an active artist and trying to manage, you know, manages
Speaker 9: somebody's like having kids, right, you know what.
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta be up for them.
Speaker 9: Five thirty phone calls and it's just a lot, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So, and also to shout out to Tiny too, because
Speaker 4: she was just as instrumental some them. Without Tiny she
Speaker 4: was like the direct link to JD on the business.
Speaker 1: Side, you know what I mean. So without her, when I.
Speaker 3: Did y'all want to sign a social death at the time,
Speaker 3: was that the goal? Like that's where y'all wanted to go?
Speaker 1: I mean, we had to be honest. We had a
Speaker 1: couple of deals on the table.
Speaker 4: It was rowdy Mercury Mercury at the time, remember Mercury.
Speaker 4: It was rowdy Mercury and then Social Deff came in
Speaker 4: there at the end of those offers, and I just think,
Speaker 4: you know, Kenny did what she said was what she
Speaker 4: was going to do, and that meant a lot.
Speaker 1: So we was gonna do it, we said we was
Speaker 1: going to do.
Speaker 6: How instrumental was the Jamaine de Prie Uh with y'all now, like,
Speaker 6: do y'all still like call him about music?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 6: For all original parts by one?
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, you.
Speaker 4: Know, Jamaine, that's our guy forever. But you know, as
Speaker 4: much as I love Jamaan, I hit Jamn about all.
Speaker 1: Kinds of ship.
Speaker 4: But you know, it's it's rough to get your man
Speaker 4: right if.
Speaker 1: He ain't a part of it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I've had I've had a tough time.
Speaker 4: Getting his involvement in things that he wasn't really you know, spearheaded. Honestly,
Speaker 4: Jamaine is why we are writers and producers, well at
Speaker 4: least producers. We was always writers, But through dealing with him,
Speaker 4: we're not like, you can't just put us on the
Speaker 4: back bround. We're not, you know what I mean, You
Speaker 4: can't tie our hands, you can't. So we figured out
Speaker 4: how to go make beats ourselves, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: learn how to play the keys ourselves learn how to
Speaker 4: do this stuff for So he's a big reason why.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying the negative way, just understanding that
Speaker 4: it takes more than just one man to stop when
Speaker 4: we try to, you know.
Speaker 5: And one thing about us, man, we're not petty, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. For us, we kind of respect
Speaker 5: the blending, the chance, so we respect the blessing and
Speaker 5: keep it moving. But we was already a sel contained
Speaker 5: group already writing. It was already like what we're gonna
Speaker 5: wear on the show, So we really didn't need anything
Speaker 5: but the money, I guess.
Speaker 1: Nothing but everything.
Speaker 5: But yeah, but much love to ja. We just know
Speaker 5: it's a lot of bashing when it.
Speaker 1: Comes to none of that. We ain't doing that.
Speaker 4: What did y'all leave SoCal Death and why we actually
Speaker 4: Social death left us?
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: He had a situation with Columbia. They couldn't get on
Speaker 4: the same page, so he left and went to what
Speaker 4: do you go.
Speaker 1: First? Right?
Speaker 4: So he went to Arista, and Columbia basically told him
Speaker 4: if you want them, you don't have to pay it
Speaker 4: for a football team. And Jenny was like, I don't
Speaker 4: want him that bad. Let him take us in so
Speaker 4: we wanted to go, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: it wasn't in the cars at the time.
Speaker 3: When you left that time, that's when it completely stopped.
Speaker 3: He never said I'm not writing for your producers because
Speaker 3: you weren't on the label at that time.
Speaker 1: We got back together with you made two different times.
Speaker 4: We went we went to death genuine Jamaine, and then
Speaker 4: we did an album with E two of Jamaine. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean we've we've You know, music, the music game
Speaker 4: in itself is a complicated business, and I think you know,
Speaker 4: keeping your relationships tight is something that you have to do.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, if you can't get on
Speaker 4: the same page with somebody, you have your own goals
Speaker 4: and your own dreams, and that's what you got to follow,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 6: And that's what we did, knowing that you'll still like,
Speaker 6: let's get married and promised and all that, Like.
Speaker 8: How does that feel?
Speaker 6: The not that I just saw a video of the
Speaker 6: went viral with somebody had proposed to the girl.
Speaker 4: And the.
Speaker 6: Reactions from that other than it being funny and they
Speaker 6: should have picked somebody else, like.
Speaker 8: Like knowing that that ship still hit.
Speaker 4: It's love, I love, It's an amazing feeling like you know,
Speaker 4: we saw much the other day, Like we definitely didn't
Speaker 4: get it to be a one hit wonder, right, and
Speaker 4: we definitely wanted to have a you know, a career
Speaker 4: that was you.
Speaker 1: Know, filled with you know, longevity.
Speaker 4: So when you see things like that, you realize you
Speaker 4: don't hit your mark a little bit, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. But we ain't done, no, but yeah, it
Speaker 4: feels good though.
Speaker 8: Breaking twenty five years of the Jay Harbery.
Speaker 7: What are some like story because I know you guys
Speaker 7: have probably been like just reminiscent because it's twenty five
Speaker 7: years and celebrating. What are some stories that, like, we
Speaker 7: probably never heard in the making of some of the
Speaker 7: iconic songs.
Speaker 8: So let's get married. He can't love you like that,
Speaker 8: Like Brian, you're laughing.
Speaker 1: It's you were close.
Speaker 4: Like we got so many stories, but it's like, how
Speaker 4: many of them is really suitable for TV?
Speaker 8: This goes on TV through t B though, so you.
Speaker 1: Can say whatever the hell you want to.
Speaker 8: For you a drink? Are you comfortable?
Speaker 6: I saw an interview, Uh Beyonce, Dad like threw y'all
Speaker 6: off of a.
Speaker 1: You like when it happened.
Speaker 4: Somebody said to us, y'all gonna be talking about this
Speaker 4: for the rest of and then it was damn right,
Speaker 4: y'all still be talking about.
Speaker 2: You know what happened.
Speaker 4: So basically, we was on tour with Desty Child and
Speaker 4: at the time, Matthew was our manager, so we were
Speaker 4: sharing the tour.
Speaker 1: Bus, us and Child, we all on one to.
Speaker 4: Was that boss, and so, you know, I think it's
Speaker 4: probably well documented that LaToya has had different issues with
Speaker 4: you know, the crew. This particular night, Latoya's mom was
Speaker 4: on the road shot and ms Pam obviously had issues
Speaker 4: with the crew. So Matthew called, even though he wasn't
Speaker 4: in the city. He called back to the role manager like,
Speaker 4: you know, miss Pam ain't getting on that bus, and
Speaker 4: we was like, well, we're not leaving her in the
Speaker 4: middle of Louisa morning, so she is gonna get on
Speaker 4: the bus.
Speaker 1: That dude had the police called on us, had us.
Speaker 4: Removing So yeah, I mean, but you know, we just
Speaker 4: felt like, whatever the issue is, it can't be that
Speaker 4: serious that you're gonna leave somebody out here and you're not.
Speaker 1: Even here with somebody.
Speaker 10: If it was your mom, hey man, you know we're
Speaker 10: from I mean originally, but We're from the South, and
Speaker 10: you know, so we kind of felt that, like man,
Speaker 10: Mama's boys an obligation, but we wanted to Matthew, you
Speaker 10: by the bath through them at one of the concerts,
Speaker 10: shouts out to Matthew.
Speaker 1: But not going by that bath.
Speaker 2: Story.
Speaker 7: So because you were doating a tabby at the time, Brendon.
Speaker 7: And then so she told the story in the radio station.
Speaker 7: She was saying that you took up for the group,
Speaker 7: like you you were the one about to go off,
Speaker 7: so you was at the.
Speaker 4: Bathroomall we all did. But I definitely I went in
Speaker 4: the room with the girls. You know, I just seen
Speaker 4: it like like I said, like if it was my mother,
Speaker 4: it would have been worse than that, like I would
Speaker 4: have turned it would have it would have gotten nasty
Speaker 4: and ugly.
Speaker 1: So I didn't want it to go that far.
Speaker 4: So I tried to have a conversation with the girls.
Speaker 4: I couldn't talk to Matthew. He didn't he didn't make
Speaker 4: hisself available. But you know, I tried to make the
Speaker 4: other girls, who you know was in the group with LaToya,
Speaker 4: you know, support her, and they all just kind of
Speaker 4: let me know that they had different issues with LaToya.
Speaker 1: And her mother, And that's why it.
Speaker 4: Was this bad, even to be fair to them, because
Speaker 4: I talked to Kelly about this after that, and it
Speaker 4: got to a point where she even felt like, well,
Speaker 4: at this point, it's out of my hands. Once Matthew
Speaker 4: took control of it, they didn't feel like they even
Speaker 4: had much of us say anyway.
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to ask too. They used to put
Speaker 3: Pick One twelve against you guys, right absolutely, and it
Speaker 3: was it was a thing.
Speaker 2: Was it ever a beef or was it just always fun?
Speaker 1: It was Charlemagne did it? Man?
Speaker 11: Man?
Speaker 4: It was never a real beef, Like I don't know
Speaker 4: how many people knowing this with them guys like brother stuff.
Speaker 4: Like out of all the male groups we've been on
Speaker 4: shows with or just been around or in our era,
Speaker 4: I should say One twelve is our closest friend.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it was never a real beef. But it
Speaker 1: got a little testy.
Speaker 2: Right at what point it What happened?
Speaker 4: What was the reason When we was coming back from
Speaker 4: a tour we was on and we was pulling into.
Speaker 2: The city, men, y'all kicked them out.
Speaker 4: We just heard them on the radio talking to talking
Speaker 4: to trash and me and Cot just being a bee
Speaker 4: line and where they was at, I'll take my brain.
Speaker 4: It was just me and here we knew how far
Speaker 4: was there. We didn't even care. We was ready to
Speaker 4: do whatever had to be. That of remote one.
Speaker 1: Three, Ryan Cameron playing in Hollywood.
Speaker 5: He was playing in hollywoods you know how old that
Speaker 5: is planning Hollywood. So they was doing the album I
Speaker 5: guess the release.
Speaker 1: It was something. They were doing something. They were doing
Speaker 1: something and live remote.
Speaker 5: They was subliminately talking and he said, uh, well, you
Speaker 5: know whatever.
Speaker 1: No he said this, I'll never get it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if Ryan camera had asked him the question,
Speaker 4: but you said something like how could Jackie be the
Speaker 4: best group they got to They only got two lead
Speaker 4: singers a cheerleader.
Speaker 1: Man, and I said, hey, wow that guy. None that happened,
Speaker 1: like nothing happened. We wanted bro. I was sleep that day.
Speaker 4: I don't know, ain't written nobody else.
Speaker 9: And I honestly think like Ryan, because they was trying
Speaker 9: to pick they were trying to put us on tour together.
Speaker 9: So Ryan was trying to create something to like to
Speaker 9: drive the traffic.
Speaker 1: But you can't telling nothing like he was taking a
Speaker 1: second and we'll talk ship back really good, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But you wouldn't say that nowhere.
Speaker 9: I mean because I actually I was the first person
Speaker 9: ever seen that group before, you know what, I'm the
Speaker 9: one turned them onto that management.
Speaker 1: They had to did before us, you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like this liked he was almost in one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they were gonna try to put me in there
Speaker 1: for something that you know. I mean again, and this.
Speaker 9: Was before I was in Jagged Edge, you know what
Speaker 9: I'm saying. So again like we do need guys yay high.
Speaker 9: But again so but like I said, you can't it
Speaker 9: start something without letting us know and.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 5: With the fake beef. A lot of people.
Speaker 1: Doing that.
Speaker 8: I ain't tell y'all wouldn't have been with.
Speaker 3: RMB singers because I mean I've seen y'all go crazy
Speaker 3: turn a lot of times. But do you feel like
Speaker 3: as an R and B singer, you think people take
Speaker 3: a soft and sometimes you got to prove yourself situation.
Speaker 5: Get jumped, you want to your getting jumped, But pretty
Speaker 5: much nothing.
Speaker 4: And I talked about it sometimes, you know, like that
Speaker 4: stigma to me is no one us play it out
Speaker 4: Number two. I don't know them RM niggas. Who'll be
Speaker 4: talking about who is them? Niggas Like, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know who they are? All get it in.
Speaker 12: I don't know. Of course, we know Tred come on down.
Speaker 12: We know crazy ass Chris come person, Gen.
Speaker 1: Plaguy. Everybody can think up. I really know. I don't
Speaker 1: know them niggas. It's not easy win what it is.
Speaker 1: We're from the same places around. We grew up in
Speaker 1: the R and B.
Speaker 7: How often do people bring up the Cisco fight?
Speaker 1: They spared that man his way because that's my man.
Speaker 8: You know, we're from whatever.
Speaker 4: Message to do some clips in there.
Speaker 5: We're trying to do something about how you say I
Speaker 5: had the sun them.
Speaker 1: It wasn't about nothing. It was messing around.
Speaker 9: Yeah, ended up getting you know, I guess he end up.
Speaker 5: He said, yeah, yeah, he was getting Actually I was
Speaker 5: chilling and I ain't fnnadue. I know I wasn't the aggressive,
Speaker 5: but I want with the bullship either like chill out
Speaker 5: and if you can it's on the video if you
Speaker 5: can see, I'm like, yo, man, chill out. And he
Speaker 5: was trying to like, oh man, I'm losing this. You
Speaker 5: gotta lose.
Speaker 1: He didn't throw not one.
Speaker 9: He wasn't really doing the ura, the walk out on
Speaker 9: the fast, and that bodyself.
Speaker 1: Was already gone. Your squashed all yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: You know, you know, quiet as it's kept. We fucked
Speaker 4: with all the groups. Some of them have had issues
Speaker 4: with us, with everybody, man, straight up, I got respect
Speaker 4: for all of them all.
Speaker 3: Now, there was a time where I feel like R
Speaker 3: and B died out a little bit. Right now it's
Speaker 3: back like crazy, everybody doing an R and B party, R.
Speaker 4: And B every city.
Speaker 3: So during that time when R and B died a
Speaker 3: little bit, how did you guys survive?
Speaker 2: Because I seem tours slowed down, music slow down for
Speaker 2: R and B. Everybody's saying R and B died.
Speaker 1: How did y'all none of it?
Speaker 4: Like us, we never had a period where we wasn't booked,
Speaker 4: you know. I think that's probably why the music hasn't
Speaker 4: come as often as it should, because we've been on
Speaker 4: the road, you know what I mean. So at this
Speaker 4: point we kind of looking at our career like would
Speaker 4: we be happy, like just torn for the rest of
Speaker 4: our lives? No, because we creators and we really and
Speaker 4: we really are musicians, So you know, that's why we
Speaker 4: that's why we came with this out. And I ain't
Speaker 4: gonna lie. I never respected it, no way. You can't
Speaker 4: just shut down the whole time. What's your complaint? What
Speaker 4: all R and B sound? Don't all hip hop sounded?
Speaker 4: Don't want country?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 4: What what does that mean? Thats why it's the genre exactly.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what genre that's going to be inside that.
Speaker 8: So what is gonna be?
Speaker 6: What can we expect different from all original parts? Like
Speaker 6: where did that title come from?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 6: And just for the record, y'all know they're not bumping
Speaker 6: this in the trains disco all original parts?
Speaker 1: You stupid?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Crazy. It's like then I was like, they're gonna come.
Speaker 1: That's too that it just signifies the fact that.
Speaker 4: You know, even not even not even just our era,
Speaker 4: since groups have been a thing, they've all broken up,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And Jackson's broke even Jackson,
Speaker 4: So you know, us being the one group who's never
Speaker 4: broken up, we wanted to kind of capitalize on that.
Speaker 1: That's why it's called all original part.
Speaker 8: Do you ever get worried that?
Speaker 1: Oklahama, No, no.
Speaker 7: Do you guys ever get worried that like trying to
Speaker 7: top the how big your other songs are?
Speaker 4: Like no, no, no, I mean I guess you know
Speaker 4: there's a possibility that we might not ever have songs
Speaker 4: bigger than It's.
Speaker 2: A possible you know, music that ever again.
Speaker 4: Right, But I just think we don't let it stop
Speaker 4: the creative process.
Speaker 1: It's the same for us because.
Speaker 4: And I mean we was were people understand, like one
Speaker 4: hundred percent responsible for our music. So it's the same
Speaker 4: same chemistry, same guy, same you know, same wheels on
Speaker 4: the car, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So we don't look at We just go in there
Speaker 1: and do what we do.
Speaker 5: And to add to what Brian is saying, I mean
Speaker 5: we this album said that other day? Was that an interview?
Speaker 5: You can't look at this eleventh album all the original
Speaker 5: parts like you look at Jay Hartbury. You feel what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like, give yourself a chance to sit down,
Speaker 5: listen to the song and just let it flow. You
Speaker 5: feel what I'm saying. A certain songs grow on you
Speaker 5: slow and before you know it, you be like, yo,
Speaker 5: this ship. You know what I'm saying. At first it
Speaker 5: wasn't but now you know what I'm saying, So please
Speaker 5: don't come up to us talking about this ain't got
Speaker 5: to be.
Speaker 1: If you want to hear that, take your head.
Speaker 3: Remember when y'all made some of those classic records, and
Speaker 3: do y'all know they were gonna be smashed as soon
Speaker 3: as you made it? Like when you made Let's Get Married,
Speaker 3: made promise, did y'all know like, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 3: be it?
Speaker 1: We did.
Speaker 4: Kind I ain't gonna lie like you know, and you
Speaker 4: know even when you look at songs like he can't
Speaker 4: Love you right, every so on we ever put out,
Speaker 4: we understood what it should be doing like we understood
Speaker 4: the only reason to drop he came before Let's Get
Speaker 4: Married was because he can't sound that like nothing on
Speaker 4: the radio. We knew Let's Get Married was gonna be
Speaker 4: the biggest, but we knew if you come in a
Speaker 4: song like this it sounds like nothing, it's gonna make
Speaker 4: that role for Let's Get Married even bigger.
Speaker 3: And we kind of get married gonna be that legacy
Speaker 3: song that whre y'all going, your kids.
Speaker 1: Going, your kids kids going to heavy.
Speaker 4: This man was mad that we dropped he can't love
Speaker 4: you Let's Get.
Speaker 9: Married it just did something to you know what, I'm like.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 1: You don't want to drop this on But that's why.
Speaker 9: I never put my opinion on the record like that.
Speaker 9: You know I'm saying because at the end of the day,
Speaker 9: I knew he can't love you.
Speaker 5: Was super dope.
Speaker 1: It was a smash. But let's get married.
Speaker 9: And you know again, I'm one of them anxious guys.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: It's the set up about now that brocause let's get married.
Speaker 8: Long time we're all doing those songs.
Speaker 1: What was right?
Speaker 4: You understand, like we was writing song eighteen nineteen years old, listen.
Speaker 4: So we talked about one reason we went there route
Speaker 4: is because what preceded us was what Josie freaking you are,
Speaker 4: Kelly freakingly that was. It was so prevalent that that
Speaker 4: was the thing.
Speaker 1: Like how do we we don't want to do we
Speaker 1: don't want to just spit in with you.
Speaker 5: Know.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that back then.
Speaker 2: A lot of that was sex.
Speaker 6: You know, y'all were young, and uh, promise, Brandy, you
Speaker 6: wrote that for.
Speaker 1: No for me, for me, for me. I've been feeling
Speaker 1: this question. She did that interview. Listen. We're we're a
Speaker 1: team song.
Speaker 4: We're a songwriting team, right, So no matter what my
Speaker 4: piece of the song may be about, that, don't mean
Speaker 4: the whole.
Speaker 1: Song is about that.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Because I think when you're
Speaker 4: a songwriter, it's not always an exact story. Sometimes it's
Speaker 4: pieces of a story that you're turning into one story.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, there was a piece in there about the Yeah,
Speaker 1: but my part wasn't. But I love.
Speaker 2: You know, I was going to ask you, do you
Speaker 2: have a problem.
Speaker 3: I feel like nowadays, brothers don't beg for the vagina.
Speaker 1: They don't. We girls don't make them. The girls don't
Speaker 1: make it.
Speaker 6: Not even that they don't, is that the girls don't
Speaker 6: make them.
Speaker 8: He can't you.
Speaker 1: He was outside her house.

Speaker 5: just like you know, take about.
Speaker 4: An hour and a half, so you were you were
Speaker 4: like hell, press to not let it go.
Speaker 1: Just a lot different.
Speaker 3: Now, how does that affect the right now? Because now
Speaker 3: it's nobody's begging for nothing no more?
Speaker 1: Right, I mean.
Speaker 4: Next week, I mean with us, you know, we're trying
Speaker 4: to like even on when our last independent releases, we
Speaker 4: had a song called I forgot what it was called,
Speaker 4: but we talked about. They talked about how you know,
Speaker 4: love ain't cool no more. Our goal is trying to
Speaker 4: make it cool again.
Speaker 1: If you love too much?
Speaker 4: To me, that's how can how can you loving somebody
Speaker 4: make you a simp? Like that thought is some simp
Speaker 4: ship If you asked me like that, don't make no
Speaker 4: sense to me, you know what I mean. So that's
Speaker 4: what we're still coming from, coming from the then, and
Speaker 4: we're still coming from that same point.
Speaker 1: Of view, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I think that's you know, there's too much homeboy love
Speaker 4: out that man. It's all good to have your homeboyler.
Speaker 6: Kick it with the home about the guys.
Speaker 4: Not necessarily like you need your team, right, that's necessary thing.
Speaker 4: You don't want to put too much attention there and
Speaker 4: then your girl feeling some type of moment.
Speaker 5: But you see in the club, I mean v I
Speaker 5: p stess for the girls are like back in the day.
Speaker 4: Used to be you see like everything because because like
Speaker 4: sometimes I see them talking and he was like, man,
Speaker 4: I'm a killing niggas when I hit the streets.
Speaker 1: And then we used to be like, I'm gonna kill
Speaker 1: them all.
Speaker 8: How I used to dress back in the day, they
Speaker 8: used to.
Speaker 6: You know, when you think of like an R and
Speaker 6: B group, you know it's nice and you know and
Speaker 6: all that. Niggas used to dress like they about to
Speaker 6: shoot the game.
Speaker 2: Like some thug.
Speaker 1: I used to love saying about the video, like all.
Speaker 3: Right, you got into a car wrecks and we broke
Speaker 3: your neck. Yeah, man, break there, what happened?
Speaker 6: I break that down after you said, come on, take
Speaker 6: that down, comedian, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: When I was in two car accidents inside of like
Speaker 4: nine months, damn. The first one, I just broke my
Speaker 4: leg in two places. I had some risk contusions and
Speaker 4: a not on my head. And then the second.
Speaker 2: One, what happened in the card you fall asleep on.
Speaker 4: I was coming down the street, like you know how Atlanta,
Speaker 4: we got all those you know doing you turn to turn.
Speaker 4: So I'm coming this way. It's a car sitting right here,
Speaker 4: and I'm knowing he see me. I see him, and
Speaker 4: as I get this close, then he wants to turn.
Speaker 4: Even though I stopped my breaks as hard as I could,
Speaker 4: I still hear him. He was at fault, like I said,
Speaker 4: just tore my car up, tore me up. But the
Speaker 4: next one was really that's what really messed me up
Speaker 4: my jack knife. No tea to call a t bone
Speaker 4: when somebody righting a million car.
Speaker 1: I was sitting down a light and that accident.
Speaker 4: I'm sitting down a light and I hear these shots
Speaker 4: rang out and next thing you know, I guess the
Speaker 4: person who got hit he lost control of his vehicle
Speaker 4: and he just right into my vehicle on the driver side.
Speaker 4: I broke my neck. I had five broken rivers on
Speaker 4: this side. One on this side. I got a scout
Speaker 4: laceration right here. A lot of it was a lot
Speaker 4: with that one.
Speaker 7: I know, it's pretty emotional for Hall and you talked
Speaker 7: about it, and you got emotional for the rest of
Speaker 7: you guys when you all heard about the second accident,
Speaker 7: Like what were you guys reaction and like kind of
Speaker 7: what was that like for.
Speaker 8: You all as well?
Speaker 5: I was. I was scared because I didn't know what
Speaker 5: to expect. You know what I'm saying, And I'm gonna
Speaker 5: keep it. I don't have my license, but don't worry
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 1: This ma ain't never had a license. But but I.
Speaker 5: Mean, you know, my wife was like, you know, once
Speaker 5: I heard it, I'm like, babe, I got to get
Speaker 5: out of here. I'm damnar falling down the steps to
Speaker 5: get in my ob and but in my mind I'm
Speaker 5: just praying. I'm like, Lord, please don't come. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's such a cliche, like I say to hear about
Speaker 5: artists playing accident, motorcycle, accident, car wreck. So I'm and
Speaker 5: then it's like this is the second one, you know.
Speaker 5: And so we got up there. When I got there
Speaker 5: because I know the other guys are showing up, I
Speaker 5: seen him and I'm like, okay, okay, he's not well.
Speaker 1: But it's still him.
Speaker 5: He won't take a nick brainstor take this up. I said,
Speaker 5: what need to good?
Speaker 4: I'm like, he was in pain, you know, And like
Speaker 4: for me, you know, it was the worst day of
Speaker 4: my life. I ain't gonna lise you because the way
Speaker 4: I heard, because somebody told me. First they told me
Speaker 4: he got shot because they heard the gun shots. They
Speaker 4: said he got shot. Then he got hit. So you know,
Speaker 4: you know, this is my guy, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I can't say about it either.
Speaker 9: Yeah for me, I mean, you know again, I'm gonna
Speaker 9: always say this man, a family that prays together stays together,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean? So I merely just dropped
Speaker 9: on my knees man and sent one up. You know
Speaker 9: what I mean, God fixed this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: That's leave it and put it in your hands.
Speaker 2: The guy that got shot that he make it or.
Speaker 6: I don't know what kept you, uh during your healing process,
Speaker 6: like what.
Speaker 1: My girl, my kid? Yeah, I ain't a lot. They
Speaker 1: took care of me everything.
Speaker 4: It was when I first got to the house, it's
Speaker 4: all good.
Speaker 1: Been a hell of a year man.
Speaker 2: So seriously, when you're breaking neck, you just like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I said, when I got there, you
Speaker 4: know one thing about him, you.
Speaker 1: Know, he was trying to be in the best spirit.
Speaker 4: Still it was hard, but he was trying, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So that got me too, just seeing
Speaker 4: how strong he really is, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, do you look at life differently as a
Speaker 3: group and just people, because it's it has to change
Speaker 3: the way you look.
Speaker 5: And the way you move.
Speaker 2: So when you say goodbye to your girl and your
Speaker 2: wife and your kids, it has to change all of that,
Speaker 2: all of us. You just never know when it's that
Speaker 2: time and think it wasn't.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something, man, were so blessed to
Speaker 5: be here. You gotta think like fifteen. We met each
Speaker 5: other at fifteen. You know, we had our love fights
Speaker 5: and gripes, but we understood the mission and that's to
Speaker 5: stay together first, well, keep God first, stay together first
Speaker 5: again after that, and we love what we do, but
Speaker 5: we love each other. And we knew our mission was,
Speaker 5: like you said, a lot of songs back then, R
Speaker 5: and B was a little soft. It was still good songs,
Speaker 5: but still it was kind of soft. And then you
Speaker 5: had song it was kind of freaky, and so we
Speaker 5: definitely came up with the concept where we won't speak
Speaker 5: on behalf of brothers like dj inby Jagged Is you
Speaker 5: wear Timbo's, who wear Jordan's You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: We know we're just not throwing on the suit and
Speaker 5: be more relatable about hey, I'm hurt, you hurt me, baby,
Speaker 5: and we need to talk about this, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, or you know, or I promised to stay
Speaker 5: there with you, although you know you may be going.
Speaker 5: I want to learn what I need to do better.
Speaker 5: So we knew that the message was more powerful coming
Speaker 5: from something real instead of something that the label or
Speaker 5: the audience kind of expect we know it's a little
Speaker 5: deeper than that. You know, usually has a message behind it.
Speaker 1: I'm super glad of the rock we took. Man.
Speaker 9: We never wanted to wanted to exclude anybody from from
Speaker 9: my music or you know what I mean, like the school,
Speaker 9: this certain sale, to this certain our block, or this
Speaker 9: certain type of people.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 9: One thing about we all have a common is we
Speaker 9: have love somebody or wanted to love somebody, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean. And that's a universal language for us.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Love. So that's what we're going to promote.
Speaker 3: And I always want to know how how you'll always
Speaker 3: stay so humble, right, been in this industry a long time,
Speaker 3: and every time I see y'all or you see your fans,
Speaker 3: you guys always smile, You always take you always shake hands,
Speaker 3: and you don't see that A lot put that into
Speaker 3: you because like I said, I know you guys a
Speaker 3: long time, and you guys treated me the same when
Speaker 3: I was on.
Speaker 2: Radio, and y'all don't know, but I has to tell
Speaker 2: people all my cousin, but you're.
Speaker 8: Not is here.
Speaker 1: I used to tellybody else my cousin for real, like.
Speaker 4: That one other time, somebody said to me that y'all
Speaker 4: actually could because because you are you from up top
Speaker 4: to you're from up North, you're from up They're just
Speaker 4: saying like it ain't a lot of y'all up top
Speaker 4: like that you'll might be late somewhere.
Speaker 7: That maybe that's really crazy to.
Speaker 8: Really crazy, but that's really.
Speaker 1: Really important to us our fans.
Speaker 9: Man, We we do recognize that, like that's that's one
Speaker 9: of the main reasons we're still here as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know what, like that's part of the
Speaker 4: reason for us for our image being what it is.
Speaker 4: Like we felt like the acts that came a force
Speaker 4: was almost like this fairy tale untouchable thing. We never
Speaker 4: wanted that. We just spoke regular niggas this sing you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, That's all we wanted. We want
Speaker 4: to look like.
Speaker 7: So, I know, y'all chose the songs that you made
Speaker 7: because you said you wanted to cut through, But how
Speaker 7: did you choose who you worked with in the song
Speaker 7: it's already for y'all, y'all are all la together. But
Speaker 7: y'all were very particular about who you featured on songs
Speaker 7: and who he worked But how did y'all at eighteen
Speaker 7: nineteen choose that.
Speaker 1: Now a lot of a lot of time was Jamaine
Speaker 1: who chose that?
Speaker 4: But when it wasn't you know, even back then in
Speaker 4: our early twenties, teenage years, we sit down at a
Speaker 4: table like a boardroom, and we have ideas and we
Speaker 4: toss them around, and you know, some don't make it,
Speaker 4: some do. But we're very intentional about the things that
Speaker 4: we're doing. So we sit down, we discussed it.
Speaker 1: Y'all.
Speaker 8: Got a favorite song on the album It Changed.
Speaker 1: Every Day to me is the single I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: it real. I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Love the singles that's going on.
Speaker 1: He's like that on every album.
Speaker 9: Cheese Burger with cheese from the heart, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean.
Speaker 1: But so when the time we get a man, we
Speaker 1: get a bop.
Speaker 9: Come on, man, that's the that's man like, that's a bop.
Speaker 2: What is what is the.
Speaker 1: Just might get it?
Speaker 9: Be careful what you wish for, because you just might
Speaker 9: get it.
Speaker 1: Okay. I think for me right now, it's forever love
Speaker 1: love for me.
Speaker 4: Right now, for me, I'm gonna go with she said
Speaker 4: what she said, what she said.
Speaker 5: I just text me and said they can't get past
Speaker 5: that she said.
Speaker 4: What she said, it's gonna grab me. It's one of
Speaker 4: those songs like if you ain't ready.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be crying. You don't know why you might cry.
Speaker 11: We're playing that yesterday.
Speaker 1: Talk about it.
Speaker 8: You guys don't have any special guests on the tour
Speaker 8: all the way, all the way, what's your favorite song?
Speaker 5: Let me tell you signing you turn up loud enough.
Speaker 5: I'm not lawyer to to what's favor because I mean,
Speaker 5: we was playing the album the other day, the song Whrror.
Speaker 1: He didn't switched.
Speaker 7: Oh, special guests on the tour, like y'all bring anybody out,
Speaker 7: anybody popping out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's a couple of things been offered to
Speaker 4: us we just haven't necessarily accepted.
Speaker 1: So we'll see.
Speaker 8: Even with Jagged, absolutely that's.
Speaker 4: The whole point of it, and we plan on doing that,
Speaker 4: you know, throughout the spring. We probably take out a
Speaker 4: bigger tour later, you know, midsummertime or something. But this
Speaker 4: is just for to celebrate the twenty five years of
Speaker 4: Jay Heartbreak and just still being here, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. Honestly, you know, this idea was kind of live,
Speaker 4: It was kind of Liven's idea, and you know, we
Speaker 4: just kind of fieled it and we thought, yeah, that
Speaker 4: would be dope.
Speaker 1: So, like you.
Speaker 4: Said, it's only a few it's about nine dates on
Speaker 4: that tour, right, and then when that's over, it's it's
Speaker 4: probably out for the rest of the song.
Speaker 7: You got some some songs that people love that I
Speaker 7: don't know you're gonna be able to do on the tour,
Speaker 7: not like the Nasty Girl to trade it and if
Speaker 7: I come, you know, like you took the words right
Speaker 7: out of my mouth.
Speaker 9: But that's the next thing I was going to say, Like,
Speaker 9: we pay attention to our fans. I mean, we've had
Speaker 9: people hold up signs like with Remedy on it. We
Speaker 9: actually got cussed out one time overseas. A dude was
Speaker 9: shooting a bird of us in the audience. He was
Speaker 9: giving us a finger the entire show. So of course
Speaker 9: you know we're gonna go.
Speaker 1: Out the entire show. I mean, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean we've seen it, you know, verbatim.
Speaker 9: So we went out in the crowd and after the
Speaker 9: show whatnot, and we've seen approach was up. It was like,
Speaker 9: hey man, what's going on, Like, you know, shooting us
Speaker 9: giving us the finger Time show.
Speaker 1: He was like, because y'all.
Speaker 4: Y'all my life, you know, he said, I know the
Speaker 4: way y'all was running through those numbers.
Speaker 1: Y'all won't gonna do my song, your song? He was like,
Speaker 1: we don't even do this song. But now we've added
Speaker 1: that in the show.
Speaker 9: We've got like a lot of a bunch of new
Speaker 9: records along with what we are.
Speaker 1: But that's not what she was a louder and I
Speaker 1: know she was.
Speaker 7: I'm asking the question because I think you know people
Speaker 7: I know for me, if I come out into midnight
Speaker 7: with you guys, I do want to hear trade it
Speaker 7: all is my song, day girls, my song.
Speaker 4: Let me just say this too, right, because we just did.
Speaker 4: We just had this conversation.
Speaker 1: Last night, right with each other, No with another.
Speaker 4: With the radio station. Diddy, that's you know, that's my brother,
Speaker 4: that's our brother. Like we've had a good relationship. I
Speaker 4: can't speak on nobody else's you know, it ain't my business, right,
Speaker 4: But at the end of that, I can only deal
Speaker 4: with my interactions with the man, and I'm talking about
Speaker 4: plenty of them. After being around them thirty forty times,
Speaker 4: I never seen nothing offended He's never offended me. He
Speaker 4: always made sure if he was in his space, we
Speaker 4: felt welcome and like I said, all the other things
Speaker 4: that other people they can have that. No, I had
Speaker 4: an uncle win to Jeff for eleven let me shot
Speaker 4: up my uncle Leric. I had an uncle win to
Speaker 4: Jeff for eleven year and he was always still just
Speaker 4: my uncle Lariic and then changed to the point where
Speaker 4: he's some different guy because he did some some messed
Speaker 4: up stuff. He's still my uncle Eric. And it's the
Speaker 4: same with Diddy to me at this point. You know,
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's in itself he's guilty, but
Speaker 4: that's my brother, and that's that's all I can say.
Speaker 2: But I do want to ask trade it all y'all surprised,
Speaker 2: he called y'all.
