Speaker 3: This work that you've done.
Speaker 1: My brother, I appreciate it. Yeah, let's be here. Let's
Speaker 1: start at the beginning. Man, growing up in atl where
Speaker 1: does your journey, where does your musical journey begin?
Speaker 6: So my grandfather, he taught piano in music at Morehouse College.
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, and he played in the church.
Speaker 6: So when I was like eight, he was like he
Speaker 6: really made like all of us learn the basics of piano,
Speaker 6: and then he made us all pick an instrument.
Speaker 4: So I picked the saxophone.
Speaker 6: So I was in the band, marching band all that,
Speaker 6: and then I changed to the Uh. Then I always
Speaker 6: tell Nick when drum line came out, I was like,
Speaker 6: oh no, no more.
Speaker 4: He was yeah. So then I joined. You know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying, I played sna get the girls. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm going that way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I did all throughout high school I did
Speaker 6: snare and then one year I played drum set and
Speaker 6: then you know, just was always in love with music
Speaker 6: and it was just always making beats. I probably start
Speaker 6: making beats about tenth grade, so about two thousand him.
Speaker 3: What were you making? Your what were you making? What
Speaker 3: made you want to make beats?
Speaker 6: I just knew I wanted to be in music, and like,
Speaker 6: you know, they make you go to them job fairs
Speaker 6: and stuff, and like I was just looking around and
Speaker 6: I was just like, I don't want to go to
Speaker 6: the Army of the Navy, don't want to do this
Speaker 6: that want to be a chef, Like I don't want
Speaker 6: to do none of this.
Speaker 4: And I was just like, I just want to make music.
Speaker 6: So I was just like, it's really either be a
Speaker 6: band director or a music teacher, or be a music producer.
Speaker 6: I feel like those are really like the only avenues.
Speaker 6: So I was like, I'm going to be a music producer.
Speaker 6: So my homie gave me f L Studio on the
Speaker 6: flash drive, and I don't think I ever stopped.
Speaker 4: I probably made beats every day since.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: See that's like I'm just comparing it to to you know,
Speaker 1: an analog you know, new digital guys, would you go
Speaker 1: to hand you a production interface on you know, with.
Speaker 3: Everything you need you need right?
Speaker 1: And I remember dreaming as a child, a kid, young kid,
Speaker 1: like looking at the NPC sixty like, man, I want
Speaker 1: one of those. My guys had an SP twelve. I
Speaker 1: was like, are you doing that? How are you making
Speaker 1: the I want one of those?
Speaker 4: They were expensive making.
Speaker 1: Yeah, expensively yeah for what you gotta.
Speaker 2: Think one thousand absolutely, So imagine seeing that at fifteen,
Speaker 2: sixteen years old, You're like, man, I don't what the
Speaker 2: fuck am I get impossible?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm making twenty five dollars a Sunday at church
Speaker 1: playing for the choir I have. I don't see two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars nowhere.
Speaker 4: That's how much they pay. I thought they paid more
Speaker 4: than that.
Speaker 1: Now they do, But that back then, they was getting
Speaker 1: me with the Jesus thing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, you're doing this for the Lord. You know,
Speaker 1: the Lord ain't got no money? Like what Lord are
Speaker 1: we serving? I heard they got streets of gold up there,
Speaker 1: like give me a brick, magg Like.
Speaker 3: This is crazy.
Speaker 1: So looking at that equipment back then, and looking at
Speaker 1: the keyboards that was thirteen fifteen hundred, I'll never get there.
Speaker 1: And you know it worked out to where, you know,
Speaker 1: I finally get a little deal. And the first thing
Speaker 1: I went to do is buy my equipment. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about a mac a thirty two channel Mackie board, NPC
Speaker 1: three thousand, XP eighty and I had my TV on
Speaker 1: top and I got it all plugged in and my
Speaker 1: Mama's unfinished basement and I'm making beats down.
Speaker 3: There, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And you just told me a guy handed you fl
Speaker 1: on a flash.
Speaker 6: Drive, right, And then I begged my parents to buy
Speaker 6: me some speakers, and then a little you know, a
Speaker 6: little forty nine key.
Speaker 1: Little forty nine y and you were in business.
Speaker 6: That's all I need my laptop half a school and
Speaker 6: I just used to be making beats as soon as
Speaker 6: I got home, just making beats all night.
Speaker 1: And when you first started making beats, who were you
Speaker 1: trying to be as a producer?
Speaker 3: For real?
Speaker 2: Everybody have the everybody got their person, got their person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mom was timbling.
Speaker 4: It was really both. I ain't gonna care it was both,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: It's so different, it's different, but like those were definitely
Speaker 6: like two of my favorite for reals.
Speaker 2: He just had a you shooting for the star, right,
Speaker 2: And so did you know anybody? No, not really, even
Speaker 2: being from Atlanta, you had never come across nobody that
Speaker 2: you know, like, Okay, the homie brother is such and such.
Speaker 4: Producer, you know what I mean? Yeah, so, my it's crazy.
Speaker 6: Like one of my producers that I signed, now, he
Speaker 6: was my best friend in high school and his dad's
Speaker 6: mister DJ.
Speaker 4: You know he did like bombs over that back.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we used to go over to his house.
Speaker 4: But you can ask him now.
Speaker 6: He never took a serious like he used to let
Speaker 6: us see the studio and like show us his Grammys
Speaker 6: and ship.
Speaker 4: Paying that ship in no mind, we used to be
Speaker 4: in that motherfucker.
Speaker 6: He used to be like, don't break my fucking computer. Right, yeah,
Speaker 6: we just in there. We're making noise to him, like
Speaker 6: he like, man, you know what I'm saying. Like now
Speaker 6: he takes a serious now, but like you know, back then,
Speaker 6: he was just like, look, y'all can work in here,
Speaker 6: but like, don't fuck my ship up.
Speaker 3: But he gave y'all a really cool space.
Speaker 1: Because I can imagine if he him, he's got a
Speaker 1: proper setup.
Speaker 6: Man, he just has every record on Earth just in
Speaker 6: bookshelves and just you know, he'd be sampling and doing
Speaker 6: all you know what I'm saying. He did all them
Speaker 6: crazy outcast songs, and he just used to tell us
Speaker 6: a lot of stories. And then just seeing the Grammy,
Speaker 6: like I was like, oh, yeah, this is what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: So it felt real to you, It felt it felt attainable, Yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, Because you know that's why that's why I asked,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, because some people come from places
Speaker 2: where they don't know anybody, or they come from a
Speaker 2: city where nobody from their city ever cracked off like that, right,
Speaker 2: But being from a place like Atlanta, obviously that's why
Speaker 2: I'm like, was there somebody, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: So that now that it makes perfect sense because for
Speaker 2: that it just it's something that frees the mind, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. You don't have that blockage that
Speaker 2: some people have from certain different places in the world
Speaker 2: where they're like, bro, nobody's ever made it from such
Speaker 2: and such, such.
Speaker 1: And such, so how.
Speaker 6: Do I even And then just seeing my grandfather because
Speaker 6: he played the organ in church, you know, he played
Speaker 6: funerals and like, you know, just you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: all types of stuff. So I used to always see
Speaker 6: him and I just was like, I'm seeing all these
Speaker 6: producers that.
Speaker 4: Are millions, all this making all this money.
Speaker 6: I'm just like, okay, so the gig stuff, it's a
Speaker 6: little slower money, you know.
Speaker 4: I know, you know, you probably did a lot of gigs.
Speaker 4: You know, they call it gigging.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So it's like I was like, you know, like
Speaker 6: that's cool too, Like I would love to do that,
Speaker 6: but I wanted I knew I wanted to.
Speaker 1: And another part that's crazy is like even as a
Speaker 1: as I'm a kid, and I got my keyboard, and
Speaker 1: I'm making beats and all of these things. You know,
Speaker 1: in the times that you come up in, you guys
Speaker 1: are doing the math rather quickly like we weren't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't doing them. I wasn't processing the math that fast.
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying. I mean, of course, I'm in d C.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't in Maryland. The market wasn't like robust
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, the artist and entertainments and
Speaker 1: people teaching it or giving the information. But I hadn't
Speaker 1: done the math on Okay, the musician thing is cool,
Speaker 1: but if I be a producer.
Speaker 3: Then I can really get to the back. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't even I hadn't even processed that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you calculating that at a very
Speaker 1: young age was very wise of you, because, like you said,
Speaker 1: as a musician, I've run myself into the ground.
Speaker 6: You gotta practice everything. You got to learn, all the songs.
Speaker 6: You got Wednesday Bible study, you got Sunday service.
Speaker 4: Come on, I'm saying. You gotta know. You know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Like I mean, I guess you could transpose if you want,
Speaker 6: but if you want to just be able to just
Speaker 6: I wasn't transposed.
Speaker 3: I was in every key.
Speaker 1: And then I'm carrying a double tears stand, two keyboards,
Speaker 1: and a pv amp in one trip. I'm carrying it
Speaker 1: up the stairs or whatever church we're going to. Let's
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, if I'd have known earlier, I could
Speaker 1: just produce.
Speaker 3: Get this monkey off my back. I mean, we're where
Speaker 3: we are for a reason.
Speaker 6: But yeah, that's why you're so talented. You know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying. You can play in every key. You know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. That's what that's something that you use
Speaker 6: to your advantage. You probably don't even realize how hard
Speaker 6: it is for some people to even learn how to
Speaker 6: do that, because you were already just doing it without
Speaker 6: even thinking.
Speaker 1: I had we I played on the piano so in devotion.
Speaker 1: When when you know a mother from the Mother's Boys
Speaker 1: starts singing her song, you gotta meet her where she
Speaker 1: at right?
Speaker 3: One?
Speaker 2: Three, Yeah, if that's an E or B or strange keys,
Speaker 2: you gotta make it right.
Speaker 1: You gotta meet her. Let's go, and you ain't want
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed, because if you got embarrassed and there
Speaker 1: was another more capable musician behind you, he will scoot,
Speaker 1: you scoot, you off that bench.
Speaker 4: You go to tambourine and.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 6: It's like the same in like band, in marching band,
Speaker 6: like you mess up. Like they were like, oh yeah,
Speaker 6: we're gonna let him play today. Like you go to
Speaker 6: bass anybody, yeah, and he's gonna place there.
Speaker 1: So I went from trumpet, Well, I could always play drums.
Speaker 1: I start playing drums at five, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to play drums in the band. It's
Speaker 1: just one drum. Like, but I'm went from trumpet then too.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, let me just do what
Speaker 1: I do. So I went from trumpet to snare then
Speaker 1: the set in band.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 1: Feel like, you know, I feel like drummers and DJs
Speaker 1: are the best beat.
Speaker 4: Makers really yeah, because of tempo.
Speaker 1: They just understand rhythm differently. Yeah right, Like like take
Speaker 1: a guy like Timberland who was the DJ doctor dre
Speaker 1: Doctor dre Y. Yeah. When when I saw Beacos going
Speaker 1: over to work with Jermaine in the beginning, he was like,
Speaker 1: you need to learn how to DJ.
Speaker 3: Jamaine.
Speaker 1: I used to go watch be Cox sit on the
Speaker 1: turntables for like three hours just trying to I was like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I gotta just learning rhythms and DJ.
Speaker 4: Right, see what he is is an art of DJ.
Speaker 1: People don't understand, but no understanding those bp ms, understanding
Speaker 1: how to move the crowd, understand like all that plays
Speaker 1: a part in the beat making process. Now you know,
Speaker 1: I have guys that can be lush on top of it.
Speaker 1: But that beat, Yeah, d DJs?
Speaker 3: What's the mo? Other guy? Uh? Is it bongo? But bongo? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Producer drummer is bango drummer? Drums who makes sense for
Speaker 2: his navy?
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I feel like that perspective, like you coming from
Speaker 1: from band and being a drummer has that gives you
Speaker 1: an insight that that a lot of producers don't have.
Speaker 1: And it's it's about space along with time signature, like
Speaker 1: being able to live in this space where since you
Speaker 1: started with the fruity loops, how you understand the digital
Speaker 1: space of it. But if you feel like getting natural
Speaker 1: on these niggas, then you know where that where that
Speaker 1: dance is too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll work with some outburg here too.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: You got a Jupiter, I got a melotron.
Speaker 6: I got all types of stuff, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 6: I'll get I.
Speaker 4: Get busy with it too, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Like I like to really just like to delve in
Speaker 6: like and just like be able to create freely, so
Speaker 6: I don't ever want to feel like I'm held in
Speaker 6: the box.
Speaker 4: That's why I like to make all genres.
Speaker 6: Like you know what I'm saying, I'll do some medium
Speaker 6: pop stuff like I just like to just feel free
Speaker 6: as a creative.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what were your first beats? Where they were they
Speaker 2: hip hop beats or what they like? Listen, listen to
Speaker 2: the young to the young kids that's out there just
Speaker 2: starting right now.
Speaker 3: Let them know like this is it starts somewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah they're trash.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was just making whatever.
Speaker 6: Like to be honest, I just another motherfucker just playing
Speaker 6: chords and just trying to throw drums on it. I
Speaker 6: didn't know how to mix. I wasn't even throwing stuff
Speaker 6: in the mixer. No panemeric EQ, no reverb, no nothing,
Speaker 6: and just and then I you know, you gotta do
Speaker 6: the car test, so I play it in the car.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, this just sounds terrible.
Speaker 1: And you didn't know why it wasn't translating.
Speaker 4: But luckily, the advantage that we have, thank god, is YouTube.
Speaker 3: I was just about to say that.
Speaker 6: So I started taking advantage of YouTube and like how
Speaker 6: to mix beats on fl studio. And then that's when
Speaker 6: I really like started learning, like, oh, you gotta eq
Speaker 6: this out, you gotta do this, you gotta do that,
Speaker 6: And that's when my production started elevating.
Speaker 3: Y'all have so many advantages.
Speaker 1: Like I'm watching like our good friend Jason Joshua, I'm
Speaker 1: watching him do YouTube tutorials, him and him and Pensada
Speaker 1: of how to get that track from here to Heaven?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you guys.
Speaker 1: Are got it.
Speaker 4: What's that? What's it called? What's his BST called?
Speaker 3: Charicle? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like, I get a beat now, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: don't touch.
Speaker 3: It, right, he's ready, Yeah, don't touch it.
Speaker 1: Sounds mixing messive, So let me sing mixed my vocals.
Speaker 3: We're done. Mhm.
Speaker 4: I got a lot of two track mixes out.
Speaker 1: Here, listen a lot of them. Did you said cardiac
Speaker 1: earlier when we two track?
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm not gonna lie. I don't know what
Speaker 6: that nigga cardiac? Does that sound like it sounds like
Speaker 6: that ship is a fucking movie theater and you're like,

Speaker 6: For Yeah, that ship sounded made and every song he produced.
Speaker 1: Like it's two tracks get on my nerves. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: should come through. And I got to a point to
Speaker 1: where I just said, I don't care. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to try to make my beat sound like that. I
Speaker 1: don't care. Jason Joshua was gonna mix it anyway. I
Speaker 1: don't care, because I was. I was losing my mind
Speaker 1: trying to get my beat there. There's too many You
Speaker 1: guys are too well versed in the out out for gear,
Speaker 1: you know, into the presets and all these things. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have that, and honestly, I don't have time
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 4: I don't get too much money.
Speaker 3: I gotta go to the gym.
Speaker 1: Fact, I can't work on my pictorials.

Speaker 1: And that's like, like you gotta fucking believe bro. Like
Speaker 1: that moment was so defining where it's like you can
Speaker 1: just keep with this program or you can do something
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy and walk out a calculus. So now I'm
Speaker 1: going to the studio and whatever it is is what
Speaker 1: it's going to be.
Speaker 6: But there was a time in between that too where
Speaker 6: my parents made me have a job. So I worked
Speaker 6: like random odd jobs like I worked at like Abricomy
Speaker 6: and Fitch. I worked at Macy's, I worked at Forever
Speaker 6: twenty one.
Speaker 2: So what the clothes was though, and where the girls
Speaker 2: were yeah, yeah for sure retail, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 3: Give him some of that, yeah, give him some. Yeah
Speaker 3: he was on that. I love that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was divided.
Speaker 6: So, like you know, I was like, it's just like
Speaker 6: dumb shit. But like then I was like, man, I
Speaker 6: don't want to be in the workforce no more. Like
Speaker 6: I was like, I want to just make music. So
Speaker 6: I was just like I was, but I was going
Speaker 6: home and I didn't have a car, so I was
Speaker 6: riding the train. I was riding the train to the
Speaker 6: bus to the train station near my house and then
Speaker 6: taking the bus to my house every day, every day
Speaker 6: with your Okay, that was my routine. And I go
Speaker 6: home and I make bets all.
Speaker 3: Night and then how far was the QC studio?
Speaker 4: I used to have to borrow my mom's car to
Speaker 4: go there. That was on North Side Drive. Okay, so
Speaker 4: like midtown.
Speaker 3: My mom was letting you, she was letting you rock.
Speaker 4: Mm hm, you stole the car.
Speaker 6: They I just think that, like I always tell people that, Like,
Speaker 6: I think it's hard for like people to comprehend what
Speaker 6: making the beat is.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: So like my parents weren't.
Speaker 6: Really comprehending the noise they were hearing in my bedroom.
Speaker 6: They just hurt me just.
Speaker 3: It sounds like.

Speaker 6: he said, son, turned that down.
Speaker 4: Some of us had real jobs.
Speaker 6: I would sign back up, probably signed I probably I
Speaker 6: dropped out maybe like a year or two for.
Speaker 4: A year a year year.

Speaker 6: I was sleeping there two three days at a time,

Speaker 4: He gave me five thousand one day and I gave
Speaker 4: like four of it.
Speaker 1: To my mama.
Speaker 6: You're older, bro, ship, you're older, so y'all stopped telling
Speaker 6: me turn it down.
Speaker 2: I wonder I wonder how that felt for her, man,
Speaker 2: for you to handle some bread like that, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 6: I think it made her realize, like, Okay, this could
Speaker 6: be something. Okay, you know what I'm saying, Jack's opposed to, Like,
Speaker 6: is my son just wasting his life? Yeah, because I know,
Speaker 6: like I don't have kids, but I can see as
Speaker 6: like as a parent, like how you can feel like
Speaker 6: you want your son to be successful, and it's harder
Speaker 6: when like the talent isn't like like, for instance, like
Speaker 6: when your son is Lebron, it's easier to like see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jack's supposed to being a musician that's making beats
Speaker 6: and you don't even know what it is.
Speaker 2: Right, what I'm saying, No, listen on the AA you circuit.
Speaker 2: Everybody think they sound is Lebron.
Speaker 3: I thought I was Lebron. But it's so funny.
Speaker 2: It's it's a really interesting thing that now we're about
Speaker 2: to have a conversation on because I'm an au father.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, like, and I get to
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 2: But I'm also a music executive, so I've seen like
Speaker 2: the kid artists, I've seen the kid basketball players.
Speaker 3: And I'm the father that listen.
Speaker 2: If you don't want to hear what I got to say,
Speaker 2: don't even start the conversation with me.
Speaker 4: Are you the coach?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not, but I'm the you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm at every game.
Speaker 2: And if we start talking and you start talking about
Speaker 2: these dreams of grandeur.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know that nigga can't shoot?
Speaker 4: Right, I'm that father you say that to your son?
Speaker 2: No, no, my son should shut out the ball. But
Speaker 2: are you talking about to the other kids? No, not
Speaker 2: to the kid, but to the other fathers. Are the
Speaker 2: mama that's like, oh, well, you know, I was like,
Speaker 2: my son needs more shots. I'm like, you know, he
Speaker 2: just missed five in a row. Right, I'm that father.
Speaker 2: I'm not think, yeah, the coach be tripping. Hey man,
Speaker 2: y'all probably find a shoot coach. You know what I'm
Speaker 2: saying or whatever it is, it's it's constructive, but it's
Speaker 2: very real. I'm not that nigga, but I'm like that
Speaker 2: in music, and I see. But I feel like in
Speaker 2: music we can identify a little different from younger, like
Speaker 2: the younger artists to me, I mean, I don't know
Speaker 2: if you agree with this, but like if I see
Speaker 2: a certain artist, I know there's certain things that maybe
Speaker 2: might might need some tweaking and can fix he or
Speaker 2: fix or fix that. But like with sports, it's like,
Speaker 2: man that na get hurt next week, maybe if he
Speaker 2: was six five instead of five ten, maybe, if you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, there's so many other little things
Speaker 2: that make it unsure.
Speaker 6: I think it might all be unsure because look, you
Speaker 6: could have you could have the look, but you might
Speaker 6: not be able to sing all the way, or you
Speaker 6: might not take like constructive constructive criticism, and like you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, people can't work with you in
Speaker 6: the studio.
Speaker 4: It's kind of the.
Speaker 6: Same with a basketball player because like let's say you
Speaker 6: six two, you can shoot. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: You got good defense, but you got an attitude, right,
Speaker 6: I know you've seen that shit on Netflix. What's that
Speaker 6: shit called last? You know what I'm saying, dude, is
Speaker 6: talented attitude. Like there's a lot of things that I
Speaker 6: think and goes into everything.
Speaker 3: To everything for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: But we're also in a space where with basketball, as
Speaker 1: we're talking about the sport, with basketball, you need the
Speaker 1: infrastructure of basketball. With music, now, wild West, you don't
Speaker 1: need the infrastructure of music. Yes, Random, it's a hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Right you And you've seen it up close to where
Speaker 2: someone literally gets something going and it's it's and it's cracking.
Speaker 2: Like you said, Maco getting on changed your life. Yeah,
Speaker 2: think about that.
Speaker 4: The only reason I'm here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't even put together the whole Ogi Maco
Speaker 2: O G. I hadn't even connected that until you just
Speaker 2: talked about it. But that instance just right there where
Speaker 2: music like nigga, I know niggas that was the number
Speaker 2: one tenth grader in basketball, the number one twelfth grader
Speaker 2: still didn't make the league.
Speaker 6: I literally is about to say this exactly, and this
Speaker 6: the polar opposite. I know niggas, that colde on the keys, guitar, bass,
Speaker 6: can sing, make samples, do drums.
Speaker 4: They made a hit song. It's the same.
Speaker 2: Shit, but they got action at it though. Because there
Speaker 2: are hit songs available. You gotta be you gotta tell yourself,
Speaker 2: I'll go get me one and this is the thing,
Speaker 2: this is the thing that separates the music and the sports.
Speaker 2: In music, if you hear that motherfucker, you bet if
Speaker 2: you got a chance to get it, you better rap
Speaker 2: it or sing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all fuck. If you hear it and you
Speaker 3: see some ship moment, you say.
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe if I did a verse, Maybe if I
Speaker 2: asked him, can I feature on this motherfucker?
Speaker 3: Listen? Because hit records are out here.
Speaker 2: Hit records are out here, right, you get what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 2: you can go get that hit record.
Speaker 3: You can't just enter the NBA draft. You can't enter
Speaker 3: the NBA drap. You can bet it fresh out of
Speaker 3: the penitentiary.
Speaker 2: That was the Michael Jordan of such and such but
Speaker 2: had to go through two years and now into the
Speaker 2: NBA drap. No, my brother, it's not going to happen
Speaker 2: as as good as you are. But in music, bro,
Speaker 2: and listen, I just look at it like I don't
Speaker 2: I'm not their manager, I'm not that executive. But I
Speaker 2: see artists and I'm like, oh, if they just wouldn't
Speaker 2: got that song, they straight.
Speaker 3: And it's really because this ship is based around what
Speaker 3: you do make music. This ship is not listen artists.
Speaker 3: I love y'all. I am an artist, but it's not
Speaker 3: based around artists. It's based around songs.
Speaker 4: A hit song change.
Speaker 2: Hit songs change everything. You don't have to be the
Speaker 2: best singer. You don't have to be the best dancer,
Speaker 2: you don't have to be the best rapper. You might
Speaker 2: not even have to be able to keep the beat.
Speaker 2: But if that song is jamming you and the people
Speaker 2: around you, lives change immediately.
Speaker 4: I sing with my own eyes.
Speaker 6: City girls make act up, blow up, yachty mate co
Speaker 6: like Minnesota, blow up, little Baby, make my dog blow
Speaker 6: up like I'm talking about. I've seen them in the studio,
Speaker 6: just chilling every day, just making songs, making songs. Make
Speaker 6: one song. I come back to the studio. Nigga and
Speaker 6: the Lamborghini.
Speaker 4: They got eight chains on. I'm like, Nigga, what the fuck.
Speaker 2: It's not possible for anything else. We see it all
Speaker 2: the time. This is the closest thing to the lottery,
Speaker 2: the lottery. This is the closest thing we'll ever get
Speaker 2: to the lottery.
Speaker 4: Me meeting og Maco on.
Speaker 6: The side of the road changed my whole life, and
Speaker 6: my whole I pay my families for it.
Speaker 3: Said, y'all to even go to Georgia State together.
Speaker 4: Though I met his homie.
Speaker 6: His homie was like, come to the crib Ogi Maco
Speaker 6: there because he knew like niggas at Gegia State, no
Speaker 6: I make beats. He's like, oh shit, I'm going to
Speaker 6: the studio. Oji Maco and Key they were doing that.
Speaker 6: Give him help the EP his name THEO and he
Speaker 6: was like, shit, come to the studio tonight. And I
Speaker 6: went to the studio and I met Oji Maco and
Speaker 6: we locked in and that changed my whole family's life.
Speaker 3: Well that's part of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say hard work too, and also you
Speaker 6: always got to say even if that didn't happen, maybe
Speaker 6: it could have happened too.
Speaker 1: It's a couple of things, you number one being ready
Speaker 1: hm and you saying yeah.
Speaker 3: Every day, let's do it.
Speaker 1: That's it again. That's a different level of belief and commitment.
Speaker 1: That a different level of sacrifice that you have to
Speaker 1: have in order to do this ship.
Speaker 4: I would have put up to anything. I would have
Speaker 4: pulled up if a if Taco Bell called.
Speaker 3: Me, come on.
Speaker 2: Your camera's right there, cameras right in front of you,
Speaker 2: right because I am sometimes I am considered the hard ass,
Speaker 2: the guy who, oh, you don't give no grace to this,
Speaker 2: that and the other, because there is no grace in
Speaker 2: this if.
Speaker 3: You really want it.
Speaker 2: In anything you want to be successful at, you have
Speaker 2: to be willing to show up, do your job until
Speaker 2: you reach your.
Speaker 1: Goals, until you are valuable.
Speaker 2: Until it And as my brother Jasper said on here,
Speaker 2: be of service service, like you said, when other producers
Speaker 2: wasn't there, the bigger producers, they was like, what you got,
Speaker 2: and be prepared to give them that beat, to give
Speaker 2: them that beat because you're just like listen, I just
Speaker 2: got to get on or a lot of people and
Speaker 2: let's you know, because we really highlighted.
Speaker 3: Bro, I'll say it. You doing that deal, just just
Speaker 3: doing the deal.
Speaker 2: It's probably not the smartest thing, right, but it was
Speaker 2: probably the best thing.
Speaker 4: Happen.
Speaker 2: It had to happen because sometimes you gotta go clean
Speaker 2: up the house later. Yeah, Niggas be thinking like oh
Speaker 2: nig yeah, bro. By the time you by time the
Speaker 2: lawyers start.
Speaker 4: Lawyering, they're just gonna cut you off.
Speaker 3: Niggas like, hey man, who up next? Who up next?
Speaker 2: All you say to yourself, you know what my gift
Speaker 2: gonna get me through it. My hard work gonna get
Speaker 2: me through it. Okay, listen, you know what the deal
Speaker 2: is gonna probably be lopsided in the beginning because I
Speaker 2: don't really have nothing to offer.
Speaker 6: There's no value, not like I have a huge hit
Speaker 6: song or nothing. It's not like it's a crazy deal.
Speaker 6: And if I say no, the niggas gonna be like,
Speaker 6: forget that gate code.
Speaker 2: Let you know, if I hear I got a pet pee, Bro,
Speaker 2: if I hear one more nigga mentioned a three sixty
Speaker 2: that they know nothing about.
Speaker 4: They don't even know that means.
Speaker 3: You don't even know what it means. You just heard
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: You you don't come take a shot on that.
Speaker 3: You don't hate that ship, Bro, They don't even.
Speaker 1: Know what it means. Listen, three sixty the master's do you.
Speaker 3: Even know how to license your masters? Masters? They don't know.
Speaker 2: Talking to talk because they heard somebody said in an
Speaker 2: interview or rap about it in a song. And the
Speaker 2: nigga that you probably heard rap about it in the
Speaker 2: song probably doesn't own his masters because he doesn't know
Speaker 2: how to license them at all. If we gonna really
Speaker 2: have a real conversation, Oh.
Speaker 3: Like, Bro, there's a means to an end.
Speaker 2: When you're trying to get somewhere and you're trying to
Speaker 2: change your life, and there are people in front of
Speaker 2: you that are life changers, you just have to make
Speaker 2: the decision for yourself.
Speaker 3: If it's worth it or not.
Speaker 2: I've never judged the next person's deal, because we all here, we.
Speaker 3: All be into music.
Speaker 2: But oh, you know they got five million? Okay, well,
Speaker 2: what are the terms? Do you know the terms? Do
Speaker 2: you know what they signed four to get the five million?
Speaker 2: Do you know if that deal was in perpetuity? Do
Speaker 2: you know if they're ever getting anything back? Or did
Speaker 2: they sign their life away for five minutes? Did I
Speaker 2: just jump in a deal that maybe I didn't get
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of money, but I got the opportunity
Speaker 2: and I can work my way out of it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna sign for thirty five albums.
Speaker 6: Nigga like, then he'll know what the buddies are for.
Speaker 1: Hey, my first deal could have been that. I was
Speaker 1: just like you white guys. Showed me that paperwork. I said, this,
Speaker 1: this is good. He said, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 6: With y'll. I'm telling you that just wasn't even optional.
Speaker 6: My parents were like, you don't want to get a lawyer.
Speaker 6: I was like, yep, I'm the lawyer.
Speaker 3: Had nothing resembling a lawyer, were.
Speaker 1: You know, good lord, the good lord lawyer.
Speaker 3: Don't get a lawyer.
Speaker 4: Get a lawyer.
Speaker 1: We have good lawyers, don't. Yeah, but I'm just sharing that.
Speaker 1: I'm just sharing that. We share that. Like, I just
Speaker 1: felt like I gotta get to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, forward progress. I gotta get to it.
Speaker 1: And and if if this contract is going to help
Speaker 1: me get to it, whatever is in it, I'll whatever
Speaker 1: is in it that needs to be cleaned up, I'll
Speaker 1: get to that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll figure out.
Speaker 1: But right now I need to get cracked and I
Speaker 1: need to get off this bench.
Speaker 3: And in the game I make enough money to get
Speaker 3: somebody else to clean it.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on now, somebody thought me out of
Speaker 1: this thing.
Speaker 6: Somebody give me out the facts and it worked out.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this list here, brow, it's it's too many.
Speaker 3: You've been going crazy. You have been going crazy. Bro, Okay,
Speaker 3: you have.
Speaker 1: You have a few songs listed here, but I kind
Speaker 1: of want to go in order. What's your first hit record?
Speaker 6: The first song I ever heard in the car on
Speaker 6: the radio was uh one hundred by K Camp and
Speaker 6: Fetty Walk. That's the first one I cracked for you.
Speaker 6: That's like the first year I signed the QC.
Speaker 3: And that and they're not even through QC, neither K
Speaker 3: Camp or wasn't. So how did you I think?
Speaker 6: He pulled up to work with Cebo and I was
Speaker 6: just like, let me see some beats. He got his
Speaker 6: number and sent him to his.
Speaker 3: Phone, still hustling. M hmm, just hustle. I love that.
Speaker 4: I just to be chilling, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you look like you be chilling,
Speaker 1: but you be plotting.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you okay back to the night talk though.
Speaker 2: So now this is your first, you know, one of
Speaker 2: your first runs that crack off. At this point, what
Speaker 2: are you charging anybody outside of QC because you're signing
Speaker 2: QC and you got your deal with them, but like,
Speaker 2: what is your like was you doing the three hundred
Speaker 2: for the beat? Was you doing the five hundred? Did
Speaker 2: you jump fifteen off the off the porch?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Hell?
Speaker 6: No, I was doing one hundred and fifty dollars leases
Speaker 6: and then three hundred dollars exclusive leases.
Speaker 3: Nigga do you remember the first time you heard about that.
Speaker 3: That shit blew my mind. Yes, it blew my mind.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait wait.
Speaker 2: So they could sell it a couple of times to
Speaker 2: a couple of different artis, but if they want the
Speaker 2: exclusive one, yes, a little more.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's how I got to.
Speaker 3: Nigga. Listen.
Speaker 1: Shit, they dove deeper into music business than we've ever.
Speaker 4: Thought to go.
Speaker 3: Early, early, early.
Speaker 1: You're leasing a beat and you're gonna possibly use it
Speaker 1: multiple times on multiple artists.
Speaker 3: It's contracted, but if you want the exclusive.
Speaker 2: It's Did any of those ever catch heat like the
Speaker 2: ones you were leasing?
Speaker 3: Hell no, No.
