I don't think that either one of them 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.560 made a whack record ever. I mean all you hear 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.640 is hits after hits after hits.

The first record is Yeah, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.840 is that a single? Or is that like a warm 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.200 up record that you guys are coming from? Both? 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.640 Okay, first off. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.760 The record obviously reminds me of you know what I mean. 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.720 I remember when that record came out and I'm just 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:02.880 listening and I'm like, it sounds so refreshing, like even 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.440 though this beat has been out, but it sounds like 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:11.200 it right now. Liked, how did you'll, y'all, y'all orchestrate that? 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.880 That was really the catalyst of our working together. I think, 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.960 I mean, she's Erica first of all. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:27.400 I I mean I was. It was ninety six, ninety seven. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.040 I was on tour with Cyprus as a roadie, just 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.520 carrying records for Mugs Smoking Grooves tour and Erica was 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.440 on the tour and I didn't. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:37.720 Know it was just a. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.799 Kid carrying records. I used to be in the crowd 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.280 watching her sets every night. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.680 This was I think. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.480 Ninety seven, and I didn't even know her. I was 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.320 just a fan. And so it you know. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.520 Full circle all the way, all through the years, and 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.519 it was a guy by. 0:02:55.360 --> 0:03:00.640 The name Cole Chris who works in the camp with Erica. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.960 Shout out to Cole Chris. And he actually was in 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.079 a group in the nineties. Are you're going to remember 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.440 the group? You remember matd Flavor? 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:14.200 Of course that's not the original a group. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:14.760 From the nineties show. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.360 Long story short. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.160 My first tour in ninety three with Cyprus Soul Assassin tour, 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.520 the first show as the Hooligans.

So I 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.399 had met him in ninety three and we didn't keep touch, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.239 but it was like six years ago. I did a 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:36.680 show in Dallas with Action. Action.

He said yeah, you 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.960 know because he was from a part of the scene 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.880 in Dallas early on, and from that moment on I 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.760 connected with him and we stayed in touch, and I 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.280 was just like anything, let's just stay in touch. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.280 Whatever we worked together back then, Okay, yeah, yeah, don't 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.200 work No, this is the first time y'all working together period. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.160 Me and Cole Chris used to right and listen to 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.000 lots of music. 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.400 I'm a huge Mob Beef fan, of course, and I 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:32.640 always wanted to sing over this the Realist and he goes, 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.200 I know the guy that produces it. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.800 He goes, I say okay, and he gets in touch 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:39.200 with you. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.559 And that was three or four years ago at least, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.920 and he just kept the conversation going. How did it 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.359 by sending music every time he thought about me? 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.840 And I finally got around to it. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.599 And when I wanted to record to the Realist, I 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.280 went to his studio in La. When I got there, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.360 I just felt like, okay, well this is happening. So 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.040 he had seen me by then about ten fifteen songs, 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.839 and I told him I wouldn't come to the studio 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.640 waste time if I didn't have ten or fifteen songs. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.599 So you weren't lying. It wasn't that one record was 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:18.240 the catalystic? 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:18.480 Was? 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.080 That's right? 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.440 So shout out mob Deep. 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:27.320 Funny. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.119 Last week we had ha, it like that lazy. 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.320 So when you first announced the collab album, I remember 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.640 people speculating and everyone's saying Andre three thousands, and they 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.760 saying Jay Electronica, and they saying all people. Everyone was 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.560 kind of thrown off when it was like you and 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.839 the Alchemist, if you had a chance to probably do 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.480 a collab with anybody, what made you choose Alchemists? 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.200 See, I wasn't trying to do a collab per se. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.200 And I didn't even know that that was like your 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:02.479 hustle collapsed, right, you know what I'm saying. I was 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:09.960 and super bow profession, you know, personal collab among other things. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.240 But I didn't know that. So when I got the 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.640 idea to do it, it was sitting there in the 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.960 in the thing in the studio, and go down, this 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.279 is something we should do. A collapse. And I ain't 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.160 never put nobody else's name on my ship ever. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.880 I was. I was very I mean, but you have 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.440 to understand, like she and I discovered this once we 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.559 started working. First of all, the first couple of days, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.880 I was kind of useless, but you know, you first 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.760 meet her, I was useless because when you first meet her, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.560 everybody you know, I had to work through that first 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.799 couple of days I get to know him, became friends, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.800 and but once we started working, it was like, yo, 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.760 she does everything. I don't think people know this, Like 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:58.839 her beats are insane. She basically can do everything. And 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.000 we became friends quick on the way where it was 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.720 like I wasn't playing her beats to sing too, I 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.520 was just playing her ship like I would play evidence 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.520 of one of my people, like YEO, check this beat out. 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:14.400 We were just and that's how I discovered. I discovered 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.160 how like we produced this album together. Let's just say 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:18.920 I'm gonna put that route there right now. This album 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.680 is produced by Eric and Alchemistow and she she. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.400 She had her hands. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.920 In every record, like everybody knows what I do. I'm 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.040 gonna come to the table and bring the beat. But 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.200 you know, if that is not where production starts, where 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.720 it may started, doesn't end there. And I learned a 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.800 lot working with her, just like in the early days 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.360 working with Mugs when I was a kid. Working with Mugs, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:42.840 it was like he used to know how to like 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.239 apply to shoe, string to the shoe and tie the shoe. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.560 It was like the packaging and the whole He would 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.640 step back and listen to the record in the way 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.640 where I wasn't paying attention producing, and she taught me 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.600 a lot of that on this record, and it's a 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:58.440 real collap. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.640 Now, is this is an album or this is a mixtape? 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.840 A album? Full flood? Always okay? So all right? Well? 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.280 Is it more records like that, like samples a hardcore 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.960 beasts like that? And and and that's that's a beat 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.800 you made correct for my originally? 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.280 Yes, for mob and g rapping. 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.160 So is it more of that type of stuff or. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:20.240 Or what is it? 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.560 Well? His compositions already kind of tell a story, you know, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.760 and people are rapping over them and it's so melodic 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:38.240 and beautiful, atmospheric without even anybody doing anything. So you 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:43.079 already have that composition and he allowed me to paint 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:48.680 on it, and anything that I contributed is an extension 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:53.120 of my voice, whether it's strings or horns or drums 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:58.160 or whatever it is. And he was a very gracious partner, 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.320 like kind of okay, cool and encouraging, and I love that. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:04.360 More of that, but. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.280 Yeah, I know both of you guys could do anything, 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.160 But did you feel like you might have softened up 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.040 and you might have hardened up working together. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.080 I know, I don't notice. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.040 I mean I think you see. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.600 That I learned a lot working with her in general 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:28.000 in a short period of time, just how to like, 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.920 you know, I do a lot of my own ship, 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.880 run the show, you know what I mean, do everything 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.120 from ages. And when I got with her, it was like, Wow, 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.920 you could know so much and then you can meet 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.120 someone else and realize like I'm at the age or 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.880 I can still. I learned from my young homies. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:43.440 I learned from my older friends. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.280 I learned from people. I learned, and I realized when 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.640 I linked with her that it was like okay, but 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.640 I didn't change. And I think people when they hear 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.120 the album, they'll see like it sounds like we met 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.559 in the middle. You'll hear my shit, you'll hear her stuff, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.200 and you're real like, right now, I. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.120 Ain't gonna lot that thing. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:09.400 Wo sounds so good, Like I already I'm already throw 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.199 the pressure on y'all.

I don't know who the 0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.760 engineer was, I don't remember, but he didn't like it, 0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:10.560 and he told him to move out the way and 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:15.800 he just did the board like Domino's. Then he said, 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:21.200 put it on the bigs. They played it and. 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:28.080 He was satisfied that it was incredible, this one, you know. 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:29.400 Just impressed. 0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:31.119 I try it sometimes. 0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:35.520 He tried to do that on the boards, put it on. 0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.720 Just the other part to say, put it on the big. 0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.440 The bigs really big, let me hear that, and Riz 0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.000 is uh.

It were like certain 0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.160 nuances of each album that were different. 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:09.080 An interview in time, he said, he said, I. 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:13.320 Try to make mephan man beats violence so he has 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.120 to fight back to the beat.

I didn't know about RAMP until 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.200 they sampled it. And you know there's like certain records 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:59.280 that we discovered later. Yeah, he dug deep and it 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:01.160 was funny because when we were young, I thought that 0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:03.160 he was doing the beats. 0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.400 That's what until one love we didn't realize. 0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:09.200 You know who put me on large Large he was 0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:12.040 a lost professor.

Tip was really the one because 0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:22.160 back then we always start to put the DJ jaking 0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:24.800 the beats and shout to Alisi. I'm sure he had 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:28.160 a hand in it, but cute Tip man can't say, 0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:29.240 you know, he's. 0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.120 Sorry, Jada subject a little bit.

Willing to learn or willing 1:36:05.040 --> 1:36:10.000 to share, or willing to step down.

Okay, Well, 1:39:34.600 --> 1:39:37.519 incense and candles and things have always been a part 1:39:37.560 --> 1:39:41.919 of my esthetic. I did not create it, any of it. 1:39:41.920 --> 1:39:44.240 It was just a part of you know, if you 1:39:44.320 --> 1:39:47.439 came into my world that that's what's happening. But I've 1:39:47.479 --> 1:39:51.080 always been associated with candles and incense. And then there 1:39:51.160 --> 1:39:53.920 was this urban legend, of course, as you all probably 1:39:54.040 --> 1:40:00.720 know about that, my pussy make niggas change gods and jobs. 1:40:02.840 --> 1:40:06.599 I don't know why didn't No, I heard it all 1:40:06.640 --> 1:40:10.240 around the industry.

You know, 1:40:36.560 --> 1:40:40.560 a legend that I make men change jobs and gods. 1:40:41.160 --> 1:40:47.280 Come on, that's only half the legend. Women too, children 1:40:47.320 --> 1:40:53.080 and animals, any living breathing thing. I feel cheated on 1:40:53.120 --> 1:40:56.840 that legend because they didn't tell the whole story. 1:40:58.360 --> 1:41:01.400 Everything everything. 1:41:02.000 --> 1:41:03.400 I'm not sure we're talking about the. 1:41:04.000 --> 1:41:06.400 I don't know what we're talking about either, but we're 1:41:06.400 --> 1:41:08.520 talking about everything. 1:41:09.520 --> 1:41:10.320 Taking a shot. 1:41:12.479 --> 1:41:20.040 Taking already, but everything.

And I think 1:41:50.520 --> 1:41:53.400 that's hard for people to understand or accept that. 1:41:53.520 --> 1:41:54.360 Is a mental connection. 1:41:56.200 --> 1:42:00.519 Perhaps, yeah, it's mental. It has very litt to do 1:42:00.600 --> 1:42:03.800 with any of these other things.

Like myself, I'm 1:55:27.720 --> 1:55:31.160 a performance artist. That's I came from the theater theater. 1:55:31.240 --> 1:55:32.680 Yeah, I got that in my notes. 1:55:32.840 --> 1:55:35.600 Yes, I majored in theater in high school and in 1:55:35.640 --> 1:55:40.680 college HSBCU, I did Grammlin State University GEUS. 1:55:41.920 --> 1:55:43.840 I can't say that, right you round upon right? 1:55:44.360 --> 1:55:47.400 Ought you knew what college is that.

I was into your answer. 1:56:12.680 --> 1:56:19.480 H What do we say performing or perform recording? 1:56:20.240 --> 1:56:22.080 I prefer performing. 1:56:22.560 --> 1:56:27.760 I think recording gives you an opportunity to perfect a moment, 1:56:28.680 --> 1:56:33.360 where performing gives you an opportunity to just create a moment. 1:56:34.160 --> 1:56:36.760 That's why we don't have any cameras in our shows, 1:56:37.720 --> 1:56:41.600 or the press can't have any uh equipment, They can 1:56:41.640 --> 1:56:42.240 only have. 1:56:43.720 --> 1:56:45.040 Digital What was it. 1:56:45.720 --> 1:56:47.720 You said, You said disposable cameras. 1:56:48.440 --> 1:56:50.720 Yes, we want to be able to create that moment, 1:56:50.760 --> 1:56:53.640 to stay in your mind and urge the audience to 1:56:53.640 --> 1:56:56.680 write about it, you know, because I think that it's 1:56:56.800 --> 1:57:01.640 very special, takes us back to another time, and I 1:57:01.680 --> 1:57:04.760 love performing a lot. It's where I get the immediate 1:57:04.800 --> 1:57:07.760 response from the audience. It's kind of like we become 1:57:07.800 --> 1:57:12.120 one living, breathing organism together. It's a feeling that cannot 1:57:12.120 --> 1:57:17.320 be duplicated anywhere else, not even on an album. Yeah, 1:57:17.440 --> 1:57:20.480 it's different. There's a special feeling from a record, recorded 1:57:20.560 --> 1:57:23.360 record or an album because you get to kind of 1:57:23.800 --> 1:57:26.520 relive that over and over again. But the performance is 1:57:26.560 --> 1:57:32.240 one time, and I really like that kind of energy. 1:57:32.520 --> 1:57:39.720 It changes something from Yeah, from another point of view, 1:57:40.840 --> 1:57:43.560 listening to it over and over again, you get the 1:57:43.600 --> 1:57:44.480 perfected version. 1:57:44.680 --> 1:57:48.120 But performing is just once. It's only that time. 1:57:48.480 --> 1:57:49.800 No cameras is crazy. 1:57:52.320 --> 1:57:55.040 It's like the lyricist lounge type of thing, right, but. 1:57:55.040 --> 1:57:58.880 Does it No, It's it's actually better because the crowd 1:57:59.000 --> 1:58:00.120 is completely. 1:58:01.160 --> 1:58:03.040 You forget because we can't from the era. 1:58:02.920 --> 1:58:05.040 When it was no phones, right, and forget it when 1:58:05.080 --> 1:58:08.200 you when you do showing now with no phones, niggas. 1:58:07.920 --> 1:58:11.280 Can't catch nobody crowd surfing with them phones right. 1:58:14.240 --> 1:58:17.600 Hard you try to jump in with the phones, they. 1:58:17.400 --> 1:58:19.640 Had to like protect the phone for. 1:58:21.760 --> 1:58:24.920 So let me ask, because we live in real time, right? 1:58:25.600 --> 1:58:26.600 We live in real time? 1:58:26.720 --> 1:58:26.880 Right? 1:58:27.000 --> 1:58:29.400 So meaning like you know, you guys can perform a 1:58:29.440 --> 1:58:32.880 new album and can see there's great reactions to certain songs, 1:58:33.080 --> 1:58:36.760 but there's like subtle reactions to other songs. Do y'all 1:58:36.800 --> 1:58:38.400 live in real time and say, let me chuck this 1:58:38.480 --> 1:58:41.120 song or let me like replace this or what do 1:58:41.160 --> 1:58:42.600 you do like? Or do you stick with it? 1:58:42.760 --> 1:58:42.880 Like? 1:58:43.080 --> 1:58:45.000 How does this go? Because we live in real time, really, 1:58:45.000 --> 1:58:47.920 we can switch the record like and an album could 1:58:47.960 --> 1:58:49.400 be live in a sense now. 1:58:50.040 --> 1:58:55.200 Yeah, so I haven't experienced any of that yet. Everyone 1:58:55.360 --> 1:59:01.040 is so present because there are no phones that you 1:59:01.160 --> 1:59:05.480 are absorbing every single thing, you know, and we're doing 1:59:05.480 --> 1:59:10.760 the same thing too. We're absorbing the audience's reaction and 1:59:10.880 --> 1:59:15.720 becoming even more inspired by that. What do you think? 1:59:16.440 --> 1:59:19.960 Yeah, not changing nothing, but and is it live band 1:59:20.160 --> 1:59:20.880 or DJ? 1:59:21.280 --> 1:59:24.440 It's like a mix okay, so we like nobody's heard 1:59:24.480 --> 1:59:27.240 anything before anyway, playing with some of the beats live, 1:59:28.720 --> 1:59:31.200 you got to see it.

But when 2:03:24.600 --> 2:03:30.400 there's a it could be a duel like us, but 2:03:30.520 --> 2:03:35.320 when there's a vision and the main concern is getting 2:03:35.360 --> 2:03:39.080 everybody on the same page so that everybody moves in 2:03:39.120 --> 2:03:42.280 the same way, and you look like you have a 2:03:42.320 --> 2:03:45.840 group of people here that really believe in what you're 2:03:45.840 --> 2:03:52.520 doing and have found fun inside of it. And that's 2:03:52.520 --> 2:03:55.200 what it's all about, and that's what we try to 2:03:57.120 --> 2:04:00.240 continue to create within our And. 2:04:01.880 --> 2:04:04.080 So did I name it like a new group or 2:04:04.120 --> 2:04:05.840 it's not.
