Like like, well, yeah, yeah, it's a difference 95 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: because Conway's more late than anybody.

Man, Hell yeah for you? 446 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: Was there? What was the catalyst to make you kind 447 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: of realize that it wasn't about all the politicking, that 448 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: there was an actual road to not being on a 449 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: major label, not doing things a conventional way, but yet 450 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: still getting to the money get into a career. Yeah, 451 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: that's all. It was like. Man, once I made a 452 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: couple of dollars, that was it for me. I was like, 453 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: all I gotta do is multiply this. Whatever I did 454 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: to make this amount started with me being able to 455 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: pay my bills off of music. You know, that was 456 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: which is a big deal. That was a huge deal. 457 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: If you can support yourself on your music, you made 458 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: it right that period and you know it started was 459 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: like oh wow, like and I would. That's when I 460 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, changed my whole lifestyle. I said, 461 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: if I could pay my bills off this, I'm not 462 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: gonna do it. If I'm doing anything else, I'm being greedy. Yeah, 463 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: you're being greedy, You're and you're jeopardizing them, you know 464 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So so so that's where it started. 465 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: So then it was like a if I pay my bills, 466 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: maybe if I work harder, maybe I could obtain a 467 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: lifestyle different if I'm doing if I'm doing enough to 468 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: get the bills paid, if I do a little bit more. 469 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: So you know, with that and with me making that 470 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: my only hustle, that was another thing I had to 471 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: because you get all the energy in one thing. I 472 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: had to put all the energy in the one thing. 473 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: I couldn't have no uh no plan B. See. I realized, like, 474 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, you get what you're plan for, yeap. You know, 475 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: so if you if you're like, yo, this might not work, 476 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a plan B, You're gonna get the 477 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: plan B. Subconsciously, Yeah, you're preparing for the plan for. 478 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: So you're gonna get what you're prepared for, you know 479 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And if you're and you're gonna get 480 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: what you put into it exactly. So if you're if 481 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: you're putting twenty percent of your energy into whatever else 482 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: it might be right, and you're only giving the music 483 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: shake eighty or seventy, right, you're cutting yourself short. Right. 484 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: So that's basically was my turnaround when I was like, 485 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: all right, let me let me give my all to 486 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: this and see what happened, and each year I started, 487 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, things start getting a little better, you know 488 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And that's basically what it is. When I, 489 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: like I said, when I made it my only source 490 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: of income, I started educating myself on every way I 491 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: could make some money because it's the only way I 492 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: can make money. Now. See, when it wasn't my only 493 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: source of income, it was like, I'm just talented and 494 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: figure it out. Figure it out. Well, you ain't making 495 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: no money from nowhere else, right, You're not going to 496 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: leave a rock on turn You got to turn out. 497 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: You're like, let me see what's going on here, How 498 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: they did that, how they did this. You become extra inquisitive, 499 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: and that's that was like the whole turning point for 500 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: me when this was all I had. Did you ever 501 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: pay attention to There's an R and B singer named 502 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: Ryan Leslie. Definitely. He was doing a lot of monetizing 503 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: his fan base away from the major label system. I 504 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: feel like early, real early, yeah, real early. He was 505 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: on it before you know, a lot of guys was 506 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: really you know, he was one of the first that 507 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: was really like doing that too. He had his website, 508 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: Quality Club, I think where you can go in like 509 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: I think he was putting albums out you can only 510 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: buy from him. But for you, you see the benefit 511 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: of having the streaming platforms eventually get it as well, 512 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: of course, because you know, that's a whole other source 513 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: of income, and that's the game that the labels plays, 514 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: and that's a way for discovery to be hired for you, 515 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: of course, because if you have Lebron, I'm not sure 516 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: Lebron's buying the album on PayPal checking it out, Yeah, right, 517 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: so Ron's streaming it on Apple Music of course, the discus. 518 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: You gotta have that visibility, you know what I'm saying. 519 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: So like I'm not you know, I'm not opposed to 520 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: dealing with the streaming sites, you know what I'm saying. 521 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: You just want to make sure you get as much 522 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: as you can.

I don't 620 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: think you can pay Whiz to get on the record. 621 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: I take that back. You could definitely pay anybody to 622 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: get on the record if the bags right. But for 623 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: the most part, you see Wiz jumping on something, that's 624 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: because he wants to do it, right. Yeah, so he 625 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: must be you know, tapped in, locked in you guys 626 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: chopping up at all? Was it more of a hairy thing? 627 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: It was a thing. Yeah, you know what came out Dope. 628 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: Appreciate that came out super Dope. Now this year at 629 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: least three projects, three joints. How many songs is on 630 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: this new album? Nah? So I kind of like how 631 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: you keep it? Yeah, manageable. I'll be trying to tell guys, 632 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: you don't got to give him too much. If I 633 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: gave him twenty, right, you could do two albums. And 634 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: even if I gave him twenty, yeah, it's only gonna 635 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: last the same amount of time. They ain't gonna appreciate 636 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: it the last the same amount of time. What's good 637 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: about your fans though, is that they consume projects, right, 638 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: So I think that, like I agree with you, eight nine, 639 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: ten records is enough right certain artists. To me, it's 640 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: the same thing with when I think of seeing when 641 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: I see artists was zero fans putting out albums. It's 642 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: frustrating because I'm like, yo, that's like one impression. You 643 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: take that album and put out ten singles if you 644 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: don't have fans, and then let each one of those 645 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: songs equal a new impression. You know what I mean? 646 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: For you, you have fans, so they wanted your body, 647 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: and you're really good at putting together bodies.

Are we trying 666 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: to because I think you could low key do a 667 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of consulting for like some of these labels or 668 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: some of these artists who need help with figuring out 669 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: how to connect with their fan base. And I agree, 670 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: I agree, and ship. You know what I'm saying. Maybe 671 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: when I get a little more time on my hands 672 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: and ship, you know what I'm saying, I be more 673 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: open to, like, you know, dealing with more artists and 674 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But right now it'd be 675 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: hard to focus on me. And you know, what's the 676 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: distro situation for you? Are you doing like a straight 677 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: distro kid tune core? You got? So I deal with 678 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: I deal with I deal with a few different I 679 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: got a few different distro situations. I deal with Orchard, 680 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 1: I deal with mone Art which was E one yep. 681 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: I deal with Empire as well, So you know, I 682 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: dealt with them all. You know what I mean? You know, 683 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: but yes, that's what I do. I don't really do 684 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: the distro kid or the tune call for several different reasons. 685 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: And ship because you know, a lot of artists don't 686 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: know that when you want to build come up, you know, 687 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: those platforms ain't gonna give you the visibility that you 688 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: really need. Well, they're not gonna pitch you. They're not 689 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: gonna pitch you, right, and that's a big deal.

I just think I think with distroal Kid, 694 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and I work with Empire, so I got 695 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: love for Gazi in that whole team. I just think 696 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: that the upside for distal Kid, if you're an independent artist, 697 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: is an easy way to pay people because they have 698 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,959 Speaker 1: the split system.
