Speaker 3: got some things in the works for sure.
Speaker 5: We got the generation now backwards.
Speaker 2: Okay, who do you think or does you think on
Speaker 2: top of the game right now?
Speaker 3: Well, audit a lot of females sexy red Lotto, you know, women.
Speaker 3: Women are really running the game, you know, and it's
Speaker 3: really dope to see what you're doing.
Speaker 2: What's what's which one would you rather like? What you
Speaker 2: would do it? You think you'll do it hard, gangster
Speaker 2: real with.
Speaker 3: Any of them. I would love to do gangster girls
Speaker 3: with any of them. Actually have one coming out with Una.
Speaker 3: Shout to Anicia from AT I'm excited about that. I
Speaker 3: didn't do right way, But I don't know if way.
Speaker 3: He has a song that he I don't know if
Speaker 3: he put it out yet. But we we got some
Speaker 3: in the works. Yeah, we got some in the works.
Speaker 3: So when it comes to females, I rock you know all.
Speaker 3: It would be hard with with any of them. They
Speaker 3: are going crazy to.
Speaker 2: Cook up with you want to cook up with?
Speaker 5: That's tough. It's still a couple of people.
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to do a Brent Faiyaz gangster grills. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'd be crazy. Shot at my brother Black, you know,
Speaker 3: we just got off stage. I love to do something
Speaker 3: with him. I mean, you know with me, it's like,
Speaker 3: what's dope is that? I feel like I like working
Speaker 3: with a lot of new artists too, So you know,
Speaker 3: I think that's been such such an impactful thing when
Speaker 3: it comes to Gangster Girls. Is like, you know, being
Speaker 3: able to go through generations and still be part of
Speaker 3: new movements and everything.
Speaker 5: So you know, it'd be easy to say.
Speaker 3: A lot of the bigger names, but you know, I
Speaker 3: love when when new artists come to me and want
Speaker 3: to do tapes and you know, next thing, you know,
Speaker 3: they they the artists in the game.
Speaker 7: What's one of upcoming artists? You think like this, he's
Speaker 7: really dope. He's gonna be one of those worlds.
Speaker 5: Oh that's tough.
Speaker 3: I mean again, like I'm looking forward to doing this
Speaker 3: table with Anisia, so I definitely want to shout her out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's gonna be fire.
Speaker 8: So let me ask you a question, like, just going
Speaker 8: from back then and soil now, did you ever think
Speaker 8: that you would see a day where the mixtape wasn't
Speaker 8: as relevant to the artists as.
Speaker 6: It was back then?
Speaker 5: What explain that a little bit?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 6: Okay, so you know how like back in the day.
Speaker 2: Right, you know, like the only way.
Speaker 9: To get the music out here's somebody, or to even learn.
Speaker 8: The new artist or here the jack beats or anything.
Speaker 6: But now every thing is so internet based, right.
Speaker 8: So social media base is like sometimes it feels like
Speaker 8: people almost forgot about the mixtape.
Speaker 3: No, I can agree with you on one hand, but
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of like what we have
Speaker 3: or what we know today all comes from what mixtapes built.
Speaker 3: Like if you look at like playlists, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean those are the digital mixtapes. You know, when people
Speaker 3: go on to these streaming platforms and they don't know
Speaker 3: necessarily what to listen to, and they they might go
Speaker 3: to a rap caviar, to a most necessary or whatever,
Speaker 3: like that's like a mixtape format. And then you know,
Speaker 3: I do believe that like because of streaming like that,
Speaker 3: the lines got strewed, so people, you people would say
Speaker 3: I'm dropping a mixtape, but it would be the same
Speaker 3: as the.
Speaker 5: Album or something, so it just kind of became a
Speaker 5: word so and a.
Speaker 10: Lot they don't even put anymore.
Speaker 3: You feel me, So what we know is like a mixtape,
Speaker 3: Like you know, everything evolves in a way. But you know,
Speaker 3: I think like what Tylder creator did when he went
Speaker 3: and got me on his project was very influential because
Speaker 3: you know, even from after that, like I started doing
Speaker 3: tapes like it was six again, you know, so it
Speaker 3: was you know, and it became a like a format
Speaker 3: where even people were getting me to you know, talk
Speaker 3: my ship on on projects that were going on streaming
Speaker 3: platforms and stuff like that. So, you know, I never
Speaker 3: think it'll it'll probably never be like it was at
Speaker 3: the day where DJ's had such a prominent role in mixtapes.
Speaker 3: But you know, I think as a word, mixtape, like
Speaker 3: it'll it'll always be what it is because people even
Speaker 3: before they're ready to put out their album, they're gonna
Speaker 3: be like I'm dropping a mixtape, you know.
Speaker 7: So I wonder why they didn't, like like when the
Speaker 7: when the playlists first stuff, why they didn't get all
Speaker 7: the like the top DJ mixtape DJ to actually do
Speaker 7: the playlist. I think, like narrate the like you know
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, like Brain Gangster Grills over to play
Speaker 7: the Brain who it riched mixtapes over to.
Speaker 3: Playlist because I feel like at that point they it
Speaker 3: almost like they didn't need us anymore because like me
Speaker 3: and Scream coming from an error, me and scream come
Speaker 3: from an era. We can pretty much tell you like
Speaker 3: we probably made as much money, if not more money
Speaker 3: after the physicals, like during the live mixtapes and that
Speaker 3: Fifth Days, like you know, cause we was they was
Speaker 3: paying us to put our projects on those platforms, and
Speaker 3: then it became it all mixtapes almost became bigger business
Speaker 3: after like the physicals, and then you know, the artists
Speaker 3: started getting money. Like so when like Waane or Future
Speaker 3: or you know, whoever would would drop a tape on
Speaker 3: those platforms, they was getting paid from those platforms the same.
Speaker 3: And then once you know, Apple stepped in and you
Speaker 3: know that the artists started putting their quote unquote mixtapes
Speaker 3: on their you know, it kind of made it.
Speaker 5: There would there was no.
Speaker 3: More competition, Like everybody was just going to the bigger
Speaker 3: streaming platforms and.
Speaker 5: It was like they did they got didn't need us,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It was like, no, we can go we can go
Speaker 3: right to the artists and do a quote unquote mixtape.
Speaker 2: A lot of don't understand my bad Jay.
Speaker 7: A lot of the nia't understand and they knew it
Speaker 7: don't sound as good without the narration.
Speaker 2: Niggas don't understand that.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 7: It's the ship that the nigga said doing this album before,
Speaker 7: this song before, in the middle of it, and this
Speaker 7: nigga stopped.
Speaker 2: That's what kept us intrigued them.
Speaker 5: Narration absolutely could agree with.
Speaker 8: You more to where the streaming platforms understood your value
Speaker 8: and they.
Speaker 6: Just didn't want to pay you.
Speaker 5: I don't know what you think, Scream, you think that was.
Speaker 1: I think they just wanted I think it's a control thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the people that run the playlist, No, no disrespect
Speaker 4: to them or something like that, but it all just
Speaker 4: became more corporate, right, you feel what I'm saying. Even
Speaker 4: the staff they took at you was kind of like, alright, cool,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: When you went to the mixed stape. Shit, it's like
Speaker 1: we got to get back controlling, right.
Speaker 5: Right right, yeah, yeah, I mean we had a lot
Speaker 5: of control.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were our own we were running our own
Speaker 3: record labels, like you know, we were our own distribution.
Speaker 5: We was everything.
Speaker 3: But bang, you hit it on the head, like you know,
Speaker 3: I mean that that feel that the DJ brings to
Speaker 3: the project when you hear somebody like myself like scream,
Speaker 3: like bigger ranking, like.
Speaker 5: Talk that target. It's that excitement, it's that like you
Speaker 5: feel me. Yeah, it's just that go sign.
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm happy still to see when certain
Speaker 3: artists still come back around and want to do projects
Speaker 3: with me. And I'm you know, I'm blessed to this day,
Speaker 3: like when, like I said, when new artists or or
Speaker 3: legacy artists still wanted me and Wap just dropped the tape.
Speaker 5: Not too long ago.
Speaker 3: Last year, me and Jeezy did one like you know,
Speaker 3: so I'm blessed to and and for me it's like
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I'm getting label money, so I didn't
Speaker 3: have to be getting gangster real money.
Speaker 5: But if y'all still want to do mixtapes.
Speaker 3: Here, I can still talk my ship until the day
Speaker 3: I die, there's no problem.
Speaker 7: Hey, before we get out of here, young dude is
Speaker 7: trying to get in the game right up, even to
Speaker 7: be a DJ. Yeah, y'all, can y'all give them some
Speaker 7: game like because it's like a lot of dudes don't
Speaker 7: even want to be DJ no more. A lot of
Speaker 7: dudes want to be.
Speaker 2: Rapper, DJ's and producers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now it's like sh.
Speaker 7: Niggas don't even want to play records, no more, what
Speaker 7: would y'all tell him.
Speaker 4: Do lebron lebron Lebron James is like he's not a DJ,
Speaker 4: but like major like influences great records.
Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, because they'll get online and play records.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like academics, academics play on the street.
Speaker 3: He's he's a media outlet. Yeah, people like conson that.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I think at the end of it,
Speaker 3: at the end or the beginning of the day when
Speaker 3: you talk the most DJs, especially from our era, like
Speaker 3: I would hope so for the newer era. Like one
Speaker 3: thing about it that I feel like it's a little
Speaker 3: different from like rappers like DJ. Most DJs get into
Speaker 3: it because they love music, like we love music, and
Speaker 3: you know it really it comes from that passion. Like
Speaker 3: it's not like the money and the women and the fame,
Speaker 3: like we don't know about that at first. We just
Speaker 3: love playing records and breaking music and putting niggas on.
Speaker 5: And ship like that.
Speaker 3: So I would say, if if you love it, you know,
Speaker 3: go for it. And you know, dis guy's the limit.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm I'm sitting here. I'm a prom example.
Speaker 3: I started from mixtapes. I have a fucking Grammy in
Speaker 3: my house.

Speaker 13: You don't take no for an answer because that that
Speaker 13: that third question, that four question might be the yes
Speaker 13: that you was looking for. And don't be too personal
Speaker 13: like like like Bank said, don't be too personal. Just
Speaker 13: keep grying to keep building relationships because you never know

Speaker 16: hosting in the club, a lot of niggas said, bro,
Speaker 16: you can't host like this. And then it became a style,
Speaker 16: and that same style that people told me not to do,
Speaker 16: people loved it. So understand where you want to go
Speaker 16: and go there, no matter how many they says you got.
Speaker 10: People told me I shouldn't ask these type of questions.
Speaker 10: People told me I shouldn't do this, But.
Speaker 16: That same style, because I was that person, made me different.
Speaker 16: A lot of people want to be the next such
Speaker 16: and such. If you're gonna be the next such and such,
Speaker 16: we don't need you. I don't need the next Uzy.
Speaker 16: We got Uzy. So because it was different, people don't
Speaker 16: understand different and they neglect it. But I stick to
Speaker 16: it and they was like yo, Now, the same people
Speaker 16: that were saying I shouldn't do it, be like yo,

Speaker 12: in the spirit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so they could turn off for the rest of
Speaker 10: the day.
Speaker 14: Yeah, weeah.
Speaker 10: It was a good time.
Speaker 1: So listen.
Speaker 4: When I hear your music, I know, I know, I
Speaker 4: don't love classifications of music. I just do good music,
Speaker 4: that's it, and maybe not so good music. You're you're
Speaker 4: classified as a dospiel artist. But I hear soul like
Speaker 4: here R and B. I said, yeah, there's so many
Speaker 4: different vibes within your music, So how would you personally classify.
Speaker 12: I feel like I'm the same as you, like, I
Speaker 12: don't know, like I do idea like I'm grateful for
Speaker 12: being a gospel artist and everything that I did there,
Speaker 12: but I just feel like there's so much more to that.
Speaker 12: Like I feel like in this age we see what
Speaker 12: like Beyonce done with country and how you just jump
Speaker 12: from different genres. So I feel like that's something that
Speaker 12: I personally feel i'm grace to do. Everybody can't do it,
Speaker 12: but I feel like I can and you can tell
Speaker 12: from the music, Like from day one, I've always been
Speaker 12: just like a big pot of everything. So I'm grateful.
Speaker 12: I feel like there's purpose regardless of what you're doing.
Speaker 12: So whether R and B coundry, God still gave me
Speaker 12: what I'm doing.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, was it when you was on the voice?
Speaker 4: Did you ever envision or imagine that it would get
Speaker 4: this huge?
Speaker 6: F now I was a.
Speaker 12: Kid like I was a baby, Yeah, I definitely, Like
Speaker 12: I remember being on a voice and never thinking I
Speaker 12: could be a gospel artist, like when I was a kid,
Speaker 12: just hearing like growing up listening to Yolanda Adams and
Speaker 12: Mary Man who I love dearly, but like I just
Speaker 12: always feel like I don't sound like them, like, so
Speaker 12: I don't know, I feel like there was a reason
Speaker 12: or me even being in that because God had a
Speaker 12: plan for that, But I think his plan was always
Speaker 12: to expand me outside of that. And I feel like
Speaker 12: being on the voice just kind of taught me that,
Speaker 12: like I can sing any song and people can still
Speaker 12: feel God through you if it's there.
Speaker 10: So yeah, I didn't imagine it though I died.
Speaker 6: I died.
Speaker 12: And what, Like, I think everything that we're talking about,
Speaker 12: I think because I started off and still am here
Speaker 12: in gospel. My goal is to expand that, Like I
Speaker 12: don't want limitations to be on it. Like I feel
Speaker 12: like now when people hear like you're a gospel artists,
Speaker 12: you immediately gonna think about your grandmama, are being in church?
Speaker 12: Are Kirk Franklin and which we love Kirk. I love Kirk,
Speaker 12: He's my uncle. But I just feel like it's so
Speaker 12: much bigger than that, and we need to get respect
Speaker 12: just like every other artist because.
Speaker 10: Our music be good.
Speaker 12: I know, my stuff be fired. So it's like sometimes
Speaker 12: people kind of just prejudge it. They don't really give
Speaker 12: it a chance. So I think that my goal is
Speaker 12: to make it as big as it can be, like
Speaker 12: how far can we take it? And I think I'll
Speaker 12: feel good about myself. I think everything I just said
Speaker 12: just being prejudged, which is crazy, but also having to
Speaker 12: like live this cookie cutter life because people expect for
Speaker 12: you to look a certain way, be a certain way,
Speaker 12: talk a certain way. And I feel like I've already
Speaker 12: broken those boundaries down because that is not what the
Speaker 12: love of God is about. That is not what the
Speaker 12: gospels about. If people read the Bible, you'll see that them.
Speaker 6: This was messed up.
Speaker 10: It is what it is.
Speaker 14: They was tore up.
Speaker 12: So I feel like that that's the biggest obstacle, is
Speaker 12: kind of just dealing with traditional standards of like it's
Speaker 12: supposed to look this way and that's just not That's
Speaker 12: not what God wants.
Speaker 1: You to quote unquote again these labels. But do you
Speaker 1: listen to.
Speaker 14: I do?
Speaker 12: I mean I grew up like I told you, like
Speaker 12: I up in church, but like my biggest musical inspirations
Speaker 12: Mary j. Blige to carry Underwood and I was old
Speaker 12: Sol so Edda James and James Brown Beyonce obviously like
Speaker 12: that's like my bread and butter for like why I
Speaker 12: do what I do?
Speaker 1: So of course, yeah, yeah, okay, that's.
Speaker 12: What it is.
Speaker 7: Hey, before we get out of here, won't you tell
Speaker 7: a young girl that's trying to come up in the
Speaker 7: music industry what should they do?
Speaker 10: I think, honestly, just stay true to who you are.
Speaker 12: I feel like this is such a tough time in
Speaker 12: life period, whether you're in the music industry or not.
Speaker 12: Think social media is kind of crazy and we're dealing
Speaker 12: with a lot of identity struggles and looking at everybody
Speaker 12: telling us who to be be or so I think
Speaker 12: I would encourage them that they have purpose regardless of
Speaker 12: what the world is telling you. God has a specific
Speaker 12: purpose for your life and find that out. It's like
Speaker 12: the best journey ever. It's not always going to be easy,
Speaker 12: but when you find it, that is what life is
Speaker 12: made of.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 5: Yeah, fact's it, fact, big facts.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
Speaker 6: Thank you guys.
Speaker 14: You're so cool.
Speaker 1: You must continue to success.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Backwards backstage is going down, big facts. We're here, we're
Speaker 4: in hot thorts loop on the streets, exactly.
Speaker 5: It's a big facts, no capt bitch.
