Speaker 1: in here, but I ain't gonna waste my time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You seem to have gotten a lot of motion
Speaker 2: out of the Bay, which is you know, I feel
Speaker 2: like I feel like I was hearing about you, like
Speaker 2: independent of Bay area people, which is different because most
Speaker 2: of the people from the Bay you hear about them
Speaker 2: because some people from the Baby telling you about him, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you've caught you caught a couple of records that
Speaker 2: been going crazy, but uh while being independent, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 2: like fully independent. Yeah. Like there's like people who are
Speaker 2: from the Bay that are like independent ish, Yeah, but
Speaker 2: you're like independent independent like distrc kid independent yep, yep,
Speaker 2: I upload my own shit. Yeah. So what do you
Speaker 2: think is kind of like the secret to like your success,
Speaker 2: Like things that you've been able to kind of do
Speaker 2: that you know, you feel like have worked for you
Speaker 2: outside of making good music, Uh, to be honest, consistency.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just keep dropping, I keep dropping,
Speaker 1: keep dropping dropping, and then like, bro, I'm a student
Speaker 1: of the game before anything, So like I study like
Speaker 1: the popular music right now. I study certain ship and
Speaker 1: how certain shit go viral or what song go viral,
Speaker 1: what they talking about in the song and what they're
Speaker 1: doing in the song, and what they're doing the viral
Speaker 1: tiktoks to the song, and then I just cater to
Speaker 1: that in a way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So you're you're like, for example, like this new record
Speaker 2: you got, Natalie just jumped on the remix, was that
Speaker 2: a record you like intentionally made, Like, Yo, this shit's
Speaker 2: gonna go absolutely thousand. This is the formula I know.
Speaker 2: I know how to make this work on these platforms.
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely absolutely, And it's crazy, right because shout out
Speaker 1: shout out Natalie none too. But like when I made
Speaker 1: the record, I was in it. I was in the
Speaker 1: lab with my engineered combat.
Speaker 2: And uh and uh.
Speaker 1: I made it all right there, and I'm like, all right, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna let it. I'm gonna let the second.
Speaker 2: Floor the hook breathe, bro, and add add.
Speaker 1: The camera sounds because the camera sound's gonna make them
Speaker 1: pose when I say posed for me, right, So I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: it's TikTok right here. And then I did it, and
Speaker 1: then I dropped it. It start going viral. I wrapped
Speaker 1: it on Instagram first. It did like six hundred thousand
Speaker 1: of me just wrapping in the car, right, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm about to drop it.
Speaker 2: So I dropped it.
Speaker 1: When I drop it, it's start going viral, right, And
Speaker 1: then Natalie tapped in with me. And so when Natalie
Speaker 1: tapped in with me, she's like, I fuck with this,
Speaker 1: like you did a video to it, I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: I didn't she like let me jump on it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, bet, she like write me a verse, feel me?
Speaker 2: So you wrote verse yep.
Speaker 1: So I went to the lab and then I'm in
Speaker 1: a stool when I when I make her verse, and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like like TikTok shit. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm saying this because I'm piggybacking off the TikTok shit.
Speaker 1: But I'm in a stool and I'm thinking of like
Speaker 1: TikTok shit that I make the girls like go crazy, right,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I got to
Speaker 1: explain something on a girl body part to make them
Speaker 1: like feel themselves as fat, slim diick no, tell me
Speaker 1: you feel me, and that's something that that they eat up.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, that's hard. And then come on
Speaker 1: with a chant feel me. And that's when that's when
Speaker 1: that baddies, you know what I'm saying. And so then
Speaker 1: when I made it, bro, I kid you not. I
Speaker 1: told my brothers and my engineer. I'm like, bro, I
Speaker 1: guarantee you this go viral. I promise, bro, I promise.
Speaker 1: They're like all right, Bro, it's good let's see feel
Speaker 1: me right, we drive that motherfucker did numbers. Shout out
Speaker 1: Natalie too, she'd go, she got, she got a following man?
Speaker 2: Yeah? For show, Yeah, I feel like people be underrating,
Speaker 2: like people fuck with Natalie, they do she got. I
Speaker 2: don't even know what show she'd be on because I
Speaker 2: don't watch that of that ship, but I just know
Speaker 2: she fuck you book her out a club. People come
Speaker 2: go crazy for it too. For sure. For show. Yo,
Speaker 2: that's crazy because I feel like there's like a uh,
Speaker 2: there's like a thin line between like doing something like
Speaker 2: on purpose, like I guess you would say like you
Speaker 2: would always hear like certain artists say, when you chase
Speaker 2: a hit, it never it comes across integrator inorganic as
Speaker 2: opposed to when you just do it organically and then
Speaker 2: it happens to be it. Right, So you're kind of
Speaker 2: doing like you're you're kind of walking the thin line
Speaker 2: because would slow it down like for you because that's
Speaker 2: all I mean, that's two years old, right, So it's
Speaker 2: like for a record like that, was that something that
Speaker 2: you made with that same approach or did it just
Speaker 2: was it a record that just kind of took off?
Speaker 2: It was a record that just took off. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So like at that time, I was just recording like
Speaker 1: hell of different shit, and that one I just recorded,
Speaker 1: I wasn't even gonna drop it, and I didn't like it.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, at first I did not like it.
Speaker 1: I recorded it and it was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: second verse on it, but I told my engineer, I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: just just just render this, just bounce this shit out
Speaker 1: and then just send it to me very it's good,
Speaker 1: Like I'm cool, I'm not even feeling it. And then
Speaker 1: we bounced it out. I ended up keeping it. All
Speaker 1: My people around me was like, bro, that's a banger.
Speaker 1: Bro dropped this.
Speaker 2: I'm like real, They're like, yeah, wrote the fuck send
Speaker 2: this to me.
Speaker 1: So then I ended up dropping it on a time
Speaker 1: where I needed something to drop, and I just dropped
Speaker 1: the MP three with a lyric video, and that motherfucker
Speaker 1: went fire.
Speaker 2: Roy a year later, a year later, a year later,
Speaker 2: what the fuck that shit it was? You already move
Speaker 2: off of it because it was already out, Like you
Speaker 2: were like, man, it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it just came back yeah, like like but
Speaker 1: it was like one of it was one of those
Speaker 1: things to where you know, you check your U yo. Uh,
Speaker 1: what is it Apple for artists is Spotify artists? So
Speaker 1: it was always at the top in one of my
Speaker 1: top stream songs, right, So I see I added in
Speaker 1: little videos when I do certain ship, certain highlights with
Speaker 1: my cousins or something, I put the song behind it
Speaker 1: and ship and then that motherfucker just ended up picking
Speaker 1: up catching steam And I'm like.
Speaker 2: What the fuck? That's crazy? Wow, Yeah, that's crazy how
Speaker 2: that works, man, especially with like the internet, Like you
Speaker 2: have a two year old song that just goes fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: How many remix did you did you end up doing
Speaker 2: with that record? Like a hundred?
Speaker 1: I know it was pretty no babies on one Mazi
Speaker 1: Mike Sherm uh heen busy damn, And I think I
Speaker 1: think that's it.
Speaker 2: That's that's a lot. Yeah, that's like five. So between
Speaker 2: like all of the remixes, which one did the best? Uh,
Speaker 2: Mike Sharam the sher Man. Yeah. By the way, Mike
Speaker 2: Sherm is very underrated. Yeah. I feel like when we
Speaker 2: talk about the Bay, that dude's got a couple of
Speaker 2: platinum records. What's the that's the guy and he's like
Speaker 2: he's also independent as fuck. Yep. It's crazy. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: they try to figure out how he do it. Bro,
Speaker 2: he still sell shit out. Yeah, for sure, he's been
Speaker 2: doing music just like he been popping, just like twenty
Speaker 2: seventeen or something. I don't know. Asshole is just one
Speaker 2: of the greatest club songs of all time if you
Speaker 2: are on the West Coast, especially if you're in the Bay.
Speaker 2: But absolutely, yeah, but they play his shit.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: He played shit everywhere. Yeah, I'm you know, I want
Speaker 2: a club and AZ that shit goes up there. See Yeah,
Speaker 2: that shit crazy bro. For sure. It's interesting too because
Speaker 2: there's these records that, like, you like, like uh, Little Blood.
Speaker 2: Third World is like a record that like you won't
Speaker 2: understand until you see it get played at like a
Speaker 2: concert YEP in the Bay and then be like what
Speaker 2: oh shit, or like New Oakland from like mister fab
Speaker 2: Like YEP. There's like those records that you're like, you
Speaker 2: don't understand how big these songs are unless you're there
Speaker 2: when they get played, because you can even like those
Speaker 2: two songs you could play in LA in the Bay. Though,
Speaker 2: Shit's hit different, crazy crazy Little Blood performed that when
Speaker 2: I opened up for YG.
Speaker 1: I think it was New Peerish or something like that.
Speaker 1: Blood Little Blood performed there. Yeah, Bro, they went insane. Yeah, insane.
Speaker 1: His podcast is dope.

Speaker 2: new some Yeah that's crazy, It's fucking wild. Shout out
Speaker 2: to a Little Blood for you, man, Like, what is
Speaker 2: it about being independent that you enjoy? And I'm assuming
Speaker 2: you've turned down tons of deals at this point, so
Speaker 2: like where are you at with that in terms of
Speaker 2: just like are you keeping it pushing? Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, right now, Bro, we just really focused on like
Speaker 1: just building, Bro. I'm trying to I'm trying to like
Speaker 1: dial in on my brand and just just build report.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't want to sign right now for a
Speaker 1: couple of pennies. I'm a stay indie. Put me and me,
Speaker 1: me and the team gonna put our own bread behind
Speaker 1: it and just push this ship because we got this
Speaker 1: far doing it, so like why would I just fuck it?
Speaker 1: I'm about to sign right now for a few hundred
Speaker 1: thousand that's crazy, No, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: we just building brom I'm gonna be Indie for the
Speaker 1: next like however long and then when the labels talking,
Speaker 1: would you ever.
Speaker 2: Do a single deal just a one off? Uh? It depends, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it depends. Yeah. I mean I feel like that'd be
Speaker 2: the only thing you should consider. Yeah, that's it. Otherwise
Speaker 2: they're gonna fucking Like you said, you might get a
Speaker 2: couple of hundred thousand, but then you know you're chained
Speaker 2: to the machine, and exactly then you can't drop how
Speaker 2: you want to drop. And I got to ask permission
Speaker 2: and get clear and fuck all that. Exactly uh do
Speaker 2: you have? Is there is there a body your work
Speaker 2: on the way I know I was looking at your
Speaker 2: Spotify you this is something that I saw you did
Speaker 2: that a lot of people I think should do. And
Speaker 2: that's if you're just sitting on songs that are never
Speaker 2: gonna come out, you drop something. It was called like
Speaker 2: empty in the Vault a couple of years ago, yep,
Speaker 2: which is like, yo, if you got, if you got,
Speaker 2: like like fans, don't leave that shit on the fucking
Speaker 2: hard drive though, like, just drop it.
Speaker 1: Get rid of that shit. You might as well for
Speaker 1: me too. I don't be wanting people to think my
Speaker 1: old songs is my new songs because I got better
Speaker 1: since then and I changed since then, so I gotta
Speaker 1: label it something like empty in the vault.
Speaker 2: They know it's old, so they understand it's not some
Speaker 2: current shit. Exactly, are you working on a project right now?
Speaker 2: I'm just working on music period, bro, Like I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not really planning on dropping a project just because
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm big enough to drop a
Speaker 2: project right in my own head, because like, attention spans
Speaker 2: is so short now. Yeah, always say if you don't
Speaker 2: like you just said, like, I mean, look, you, I
Speaker 2: think you're big enough to drop a project. But if
Speaker 2: you have that thought process and you're like, Okay, if
Speaker 2: I put out a twelve song body of work, that's
Speaker 2: one impression to the algorithm, Yeah, as opposed to dropping
Speaker 2: twelve songs exactly, having twelve shots exactly, Yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: That's how I think of it too, just dialing on
Speaker 1: each song. Now, if you drop a body of work
Speaker 1: or some ship you drop in the next fucking five months,
Speaker 1: you drop five songs, and then that sixth month you
Speaker 1: give them them five songs.
Speaker 2: With like two extra right, that's different for sure, something
Speaker 2: like that. But if I don't do that, then it's
Speaker 2: just straight singles. Yeah. Have you been able to connect
Speaker 2: with the rustle at all out there? No? I haven't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's fucking going crazy. Yeah, he been going crazy for

Speaker 2: over the years. Is there anybody in LA? I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously you work with three with No Baby, But anybody
Speaker 2: in LA that you you feel like you've you've got
Speaker 2: a good relationship with that you want to make some

Speaker 1: I'm saying, so I fuck with Kaylan shit too heavy?
Speaker 2: And would you say most of your fans are chicks? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Majority majority? Yeah? All right, so you got, uh, has
Speaker 2: there been someone who's done a TikTok to one of
Speaker 2: your records that tripped you the funk out where you're like, oh, ship, uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah Kylie Jenner, Kylie did a TikTok? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kylie ye, Kylie was one, and I was like, god damn.
Speaker 2: And Haley Haley Bailey. I think Haley Bieber and Haley Bailey.
Speaker 2: Oh oh that's uh yeah, Chloe and Haley yeah a
Speaker 2: little mermaid.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I think she was doing no, no. The
Speaker 1: other one her sister, her older sister.
Speaker 2: Right, I don't know which one's Chloe. Which one? I
Speaker 2: think that's Chloe, Uh, the older one. The older one's Chloe.
Speaker 2: The younger one's Hailey. Hailey is a little mermaid. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Haley was is DD's baby momy Yeah so Chloe yeah
Speaker 2: shouts her. Hey, what is the is the Kylie Jenner
Speaker 2: effect real? Like what? I'm just curious, like because you
Speaker 2: always would hear like that. The Kardashians and the Jenners
Speaker 2: have like the power to change the record's trajectory. So
Speaker 2: from like the day before she posted TikTok to like
Speaker 2: the day after, what is like in the estimation, what
Speaker 2: is the spike you get off of something like that?
Speaker 2: To be honest, I don't even know, bro, See, I'd
Speaker 2: be geeking on that shit. I'd be like yo, because
Speaker 2: I would like it's like a stimulus package. Yes, it's
Speaker 2: like you know Drake post you're something.
Speaker 1: Oh no, absolutely, that's everybody was in my in my
Speaker 1: DM and sending it to me.
Speaker 2: Everybody hear me like, bro, congrats as if I just
Speaker 2: got a fucking multi million dollar deal. For sure, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I like that. And you did all that without signing,
Speaker 2: which is amazing because you know, most people they feel
Speaker 2: like they have to sign and get those bigger opportunities
Speaker 2: because they think there's some like you know, secret deal
Speaker 2: between the label heads and the Kardashians or these It's
Speaker 2: like nah, dog, like sometimes it should just be happening.
Speaker 2: I wonder for you, do you feel like because I
Speaker 2: feel like the one thing that like labels help with
Speaker 2: or district companies can help with is like sink opportunities
Speaker 2: and like maybe like putting songs in like NBA two
Speaker 2: K shit like that exactly. Is that something that you
Speaker 2: feel like you've noticed is like a little harder to
Speaker 2: make happen. Yeah, being just you and your team Yah. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's definitely, uh on the difficult side obviously, because
Speaker 2: with that, with every path you take, right, there's like
Speaker 2: there's good and bad. Yeah, you know, so there's like
Speaker 2: easier things like obviously you know, you might get an
Speaker 2: upfront bag instead of you. I'm sure you have a
Speaker 2: nice monthly check that hits that account every every every month.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I always wonder because to me, that's like
Speaker 2: the main thing that sticks out of my head. Well,
Speaker 2: like it's like, well, those video game companies they usually
Speaker 2: deal with like a certain amount of folks, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, So, like you're like super stripped down independent.
Speaker 2: I just wonder if it makes it a little tougher
Speaker 2: to kind of get into some of those like situations.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 1: That's because it comes with resources for sure, So if
Speaker 1: you don't got to miss a little more difficult versus
Speaker 1: like being with them and they already having those resources.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's fair. I want to be in two
Speaker 2: KO bro, you will be Yeah, absolutely, two K always
Speaker 2: shows love to the bay. Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, yeah, Yo,
Speaker 2: your hair is interesting. I say that because I've never
Speaker 2: seen the fake Look there you go, and then the
Speaker 2: standalone the stand alone sideburns, the ice pigs. So it's
Speaker 2: the ice picks. Is that okay, I've never seen that.
Speaker 2: It's it's original. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the ice pigs.

Speaker 2: and that's that's a lot. And and you know like
Speaker 2: I said, there's a lot of people from the Bay
Speaker 2: and they're independent ish for sure. It's you independent as fuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, uh that that shit's dope to see, man,
Speaker 2: So keep keep keep on keeping.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I know you got a new record out, uh yeah,
Speaker 2: and then I'm assuming you just got more singles coming.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, hell is hit. My question to you is
Speaker 2: give me some advice for other artists that might be
Speaker 2: watching this. Let's say you do have a record that's
Speaker 2: going crazy, is it? It's I feel like people think
Speaker 2: mentally that they can only push one thing at a time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they're like, well, if my song is going crazy,
Speaker 2: if I drop something new, then I got to move on.
Speaker 2: That's not the case, and you could push old shit exactly.
Speaker 2: So like, what is that strategy for you? Because I
Speaker 2: feel like a lot I feel like artists overthink this
Speaker 2: content shit that overthink promoting their own music for some reason.
Speaker 2: It's just like it feels like for some people it's
Speaker 2: like the hardest thing to wrap your head around.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I get like that sometimes too, But you just
Speaker 1: gotta do it, bro, just do it. Just you don't
Speaker 1: got none a louse, Like promoting your music is not
Speaker 1: losing anything. The worst come to worsh it don't go viral,
Speaker 1: but we're not. We're not trying to get a viral
Speaker 1: moment anyway. We're trying to get them to you know, surface,
Speaker 1: towards the towards the old ship. I still promote old, old,
Speaker 1: old songs, like I shoot content for everything and still
Speaker 1: post my old songs from two three years ago, and shit,
Speaker 1: so smart is so like it's like, now I got
Speaker 1: a bigger buzz than I had two three years ago.
Speaker 2: So you might be able to You might be able
Speaker 2: to catch it another hit.
Speaker 1: From hell long ago, you feel me, because they ain't
Speaker 1: never heard it, so if they hear it, they might
Speaker 1: be like, the fuck it's new.
Speaker 2: They gonna think it's new and then gonna listen to
Speaker 2: it and be like, oh this old.
Speaker 1: I fuck with this. So it's like, just promote those shit, bro.
Speaker 1: Even when you drop a new single, you don't have
Speaker 1: to wait fucking three months to drop another one. Fuck
Speaker 1: that four weeks, drop another one, two three, you know it.
Speaker 1: Don't just keep promoting both. So now you got content
Speaker 1: for two different songs, so you're not posting the same
Speaker 1: song the whole time. You could post a different one
Speaker 1: real quick, switch it up and then go back to
Speaker 1: that one and then you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I love it, man, Yo, artists take notes, all right.
Speaker 2: Did you ever see that clip of Tyler the Creator
Speaker 2: saying that, Like, there was this clip of him talking
Speaker 2: about how like how crazy it is that that artists
Speaker 2: are so passive with promoting their own ship. Damn, I
Speaker 2: don't see that. He was like, Yo, it's your ship
Speaker 2: and all you're gonna do is throw some shit up
