People might not know you by 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.959 your face, no, but they know you by your music. 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.920 You're a producer, yes, sir, and you're I would say, 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.920 the architect of a lot of the sound that Big 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.120 X the Plug has been, I mean the last few years, 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.560 just been putting in this work with these samples and 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.160 all that ship. Where you from? 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.480 You from Dallas? Dallas? I would say Norwich from hills 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.840 like North Forward. Okay, that's pretty bad, but I'll just 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.600 say Dallas because usually no people. 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.160 When people for sure, it's like when like people ask 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:34.880 O T like where he's from these like Houston but 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.759 Bay Cities. Yeah, yeah, that type of deal. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.720 Definitely that type of deal. But yeah, like I would 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:39.880 say Dallas Forward. 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.400 So how long have you been making beats? 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.000 Taking it? Seriously? Shit, I've probably been. It's just like 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.440 maybe like twenty nineteen, Okay, as far as like me 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.440 like saying, all right, I'm gonna see what this hit 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.600 can do for me. You know what I'm saying. Before that, though, 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.040 like I would make beats like in high school maybe 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.040 like starting like twenty seventeen or something. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.760 No, it was garage man, on my mom's phone. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.400 Was where it's on my phone. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.000 On my mom's phone. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.680 Yeah, because I didn't have an iPhone until like I 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:07.760 was a junior in college. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.560 So once twenty nineteen hits and you start taking it serious. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.919 What are you using? Yeah? By that time, yeah, I'm 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.519 using like logic, I'm on logic. 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.520 So you're a logic guy, right, like right to this day, 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:16.760 you do. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.920 You're on logic, straight logic. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.440 I know how to use FL but like logic is 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.679 like my my go to. People love logic. This guy 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:23.360 loves logic. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:25.399 My producer he does. 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.320 You're an FL guy, but you know how. 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.840 To use logic though, use or yeah. See, it's just 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.520 it's a it's like it's just different for different people. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.799 I think the workflow and logic is easier than FL 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:36.400 to be honest. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:41.160 So, uh, how long have you actually been like locked 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.360 in with X and the six hundred guys. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.720 I probably met X back and we met X right 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.120 after you got signed with you, so like twenty twenty two, 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.760 and we were actually talking about this not too long ago. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.800 Like I didn't realize how early I came in, Like 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.640 I was just I had just seen them and I 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.600 was like Damn, I got some beats already, like that 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.320 shit with me, see what I can do.

But now it's like 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.120 no production. Yeah for sure. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.160 What what would you say?

And so it's just like 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.400 now it's like currently the four of us working. 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.880 But so who's like uh like because some of these 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.240 samples you guys use are like pretty sick, like are 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.799 you digging for samples like on YouTube? 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.240 I ain't gonna lie, bro it come how I come. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.480 Sometimes it's like bro, bro like will already like have 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.680 an idea?

And you know, 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.919 I'm a you know I love old school music. I 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.160 didn't like, I really didn't start listening to rap music too. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.159 I was like, maybe like in high. 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.599 School old school to you, then old school to me 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:04.279 is like. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.359 Steve Wonder Okay, that's that's actual Michael Jackson like sometimes 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.800 old school Nelly. Yeah, No, I'm I'm like I'm old 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.160 School's fifty sack like in my brain, you know, I'm 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.640 back then, you know what I'm saying, Like all that 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.719 seventies eighties music, Like that's that's what I love for, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.800 like with the you say, Nelly and stuff like that, 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:32.200 like that whole generation likes because how are you twenty four? Okay? 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.240 So yeah, so that's that's quite literally old school for 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:35.560 you though. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.279 Yeah. But even like even like ship that came in 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.560 made a little afeel, like the like the graduation ship 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.920 with like Kanye and shit like that's. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.560 Do you feel like do you feel like because the 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.360 other thing that I really obviously you know, X does 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.080 what he does. I just had real soon and I 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.600 was just giving him props because you know, obviously those 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.800 guys rap what they rap and bang with they bang. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.839 But I feel like what I appreciate about, uh, the 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.680 six hundred entertainment out of Dallas is while it is 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.640 street rooted, it feels very positive in terms of the energy. 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.520 Definitely, we're yeah, we're trying to change like the whole. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.440 Man Dallas man. Fuck, it's like every time up up, 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.200 before X, it just felt like there was just so 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.200 much violence and so much negativity, and it's like already 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.720 kind of like a city that didn't really have an 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.280 identity for so many years. It was like Dureaux, you 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.360 know what I'm saying, and and the Dougie Dude by 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.240 Dougie Lil Will oh yeah, yeah yeah. But like it 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.440 was really like there really wasn't like and then obviously 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.400 there was a few artists that really got big and 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.800 they all ended up beating with each other, and you know, 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.280 not to get into the specifics, but it felt like 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.080 there was just a lot of negative energy out of Dallas, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.720 and like X comes through and like you guys are 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.320 wrapping your ass off and just doing like I guess 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.280 just that's one thing. It's like this dude came through 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.760 and just kind of the Texas record is what really kicked. 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.680 That's what kicked it off, for sure. Yeah, that's what 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.680 kicked it off. But I can attest to that for sure. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.840 Like we're trying to, especially with the next project we 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:04.480 got coming out, like it's all get money, all elevate yourself, 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.320 all get better, whether it is financial or not. Just 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.360 make yourself better. Like we're on. That's what we're on. 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:10.080 You know what I'm saying. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.440 Even like the storytelling on like two am, it's so fire. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.720 It's like, yo, who's fucking telling stories? Like we need 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.119 more storytelling? Yeah right, I would push the radio. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.320 That was definitely all all him on that he was 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.840 because he had heard the beat and he was like, 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.200 I think, I think I know I want to do this. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:23.440 I think I know I want to do this. So 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.760 you know the way he the way he prepares, like 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.560 he'll he'll sit and write for a good minute, Like 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.160 we'll have the beat play for a good little minute 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:31.040 and he'll. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.480 Just write to it, and we would never know like 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:33.480 how he's going to write it? 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.199 No, who do it on his phone? Wow? 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.720 But he's right, he's like type it out lyrics. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:38.320 See. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.040 To me, that's another important thing because I feel like 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:45.360 punching in has ruined lyricism to an extent. I kind 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.400 of agree with that because you'll be in the studio 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.839 with someone and you'll watch them. I have a studio here, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.080 so like I'll be in the studio and I watch 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.920 people punch in, and it's like there's not really much 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.840 thought into like what you're doing because you're just trying 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.280 to like fill in the melody, just get to the 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.600 next line, as opposed to like really trying to. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.560 See Yeah, like I said, like that, in my opinion, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.360 there's like there's different vibes for rap. I'm saying, like 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.440 you know, you got your turn up music, or they're 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.880 not really saying nothing, you got your you know, you 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.840 know you're real like intricate, like well thoughts. So it's 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.680 all it's all different vibes, you know what I'm saying. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.480 But I think, yeah, punching is kind of like there's 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.240 a there's a time for it, you know what I'm saying. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.160 Do you feel like, uh, you know, I feel like 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.040 the other cool thing. I was just talking with somebody. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.240 I was just talking with Jelly about this because I 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.480 know him and Next keeps sending each other records and 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.880 they can't they haven't met on one yet, That's what 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.160 Jelly said. But what I like about X is the 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.120 ship he's doing in the country world. It's not like 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.840 he's like bringing country damn near to like his world 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.959 because he's not like these are like trap beats he's 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.480 rapping on, you know what I'm saying, Like the ship 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:56.000 with shaboozy this new record, like like he's not fucking singing, 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.760 he's wrapping his ass off on these countries. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.680 It's it's exciting in a way because it's like it's, damn, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.920 You're new genre exactly like it's it's it's a as 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.680 we're going through trying to make and finalize like the 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.200 country shit, like we've been basically okay, what does this 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.280 even sound? Like? Like what is this even and as 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.840 we're going along, okay, well this is kind of like 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.520 maybe the vibe going for And it's like you said, 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:24.520 created up, created, created, It's created a whole new genre, 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.679 new vibe, new sound. What I'm saying like me being 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.120 a person who's like I love all kinds of music, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.880 but like country, I want to say it's the first 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.760 thing I play when I get in the car, but 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.320 like being able to merge these two vibes and be 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.840 able to create this sound on top of us already 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.160 having a new sound and new vibe, like it's. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:46.040 Was the Bailey Zermanman records something that you guys said 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.960 to him or how did that? 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:49.320 How did that? 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.480 I know you didn't do the beat, but was that 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:52.679 something where because. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.319 Oh we actually I think we actually pissed it from 0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.720 Morgan first. Yeah, and whoever is probably in his his team, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.319 like what about this guy? What about Bailey? Yeah? So 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.960 I can't remember how I just remember because so much music. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.920 What has been your first what was your first plaque? 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.679 You got, first certification? 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:17.440 First certification was I think it was Levels Gold? Yeah, 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.280 Levels Gold, which I think Levels now is double platinum 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.560 or it should be certified as double platinum now or 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:24.640 almost for sure. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.640 But his Levels the record where he runs out of 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.480 breath at the end, been popping. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:30.160 My ship on a whole nother. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.120 No, I know, I know, yeah, but no, there's what's 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:40.280 the record where he's like banging crip like that? What's 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:45.600 the Hey, I don't mean I played hot hockey, yees 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.200 something like Ricky Babby. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.000 Why I should be able to know that? 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.920 Did you do that record? No? That was that was 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.760 before I came that before I came in. Yeah, that 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.360 was the one that was the coolest thing I ever 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.079 seen a rapper do where he ran out of breath 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.640 and kept the take. Yeah, what I don't remember. It's 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:01.280 not a big step. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.600 It's safe house. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.000 Safe House was his his? 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.880 Like it's a city like in the city like popping. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.000 You know what I'm saying, Like, oh. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.920 This shit hard? Yeah, sod. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.480 So for you, like what would be advice you would 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.000 give up and coming producers, because I feel like I 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.559 feel like the best way to pop is and correct 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:24.959 me if I'm wrong, if you think, but what kind 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.400 of the route you guys are taking? And that's like 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.360 building with an artist on the ground, for sure, That's 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:31.640 the way I did it. For sure. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.640 I think that's like a very good efficient way. 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.679 Like if you find someone in your city that's got 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.400 some motion, build with them, build. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.440 A sound, build with them, build a sound. Like you know, 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.560 you can always shoot out beats and emails and stuff 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.360 like that, but I think actually getting in locking in 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.400 with somebody is good. Now I'm not going to say, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.240 like go exactly do that because like I don't know, 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:49.800 like I was going to. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.520 Say, everyone has a different path, right exactly. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.880 And that's why it's kind of hard for me to 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.880 like give advice in a way because it's like everyone's 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.400 life isn't curated the same way, Like everybody don't have 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.040 the same schedule. So it's like but I mean, I'll 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:01.600 show you what work. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:02.839 I can tell you what worked for me. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.560 You know what I'm saying, locking in with one artist 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.760 and just punching and see how it goes. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.400 You know, been uh like a nice like have you 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.200 been able to expand like working with other artists just 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.439 based on the success you've had, Like. 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.040 That's actually that's where I'm in the process of it 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.480 right now. There's I got stuff. I actually can't talk 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:19.760 about it. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.520 Right There's a lot of people are tapping. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.120 In, there's stuff on the way, and then you know, 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.400 as my personal career is going along, I'm you know, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:27.319 developing too. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.040 But yeah, any other producers tap in with you and 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.480 be like yo, absolute like what you're doing is crazy. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.520 So you know, some I want to say like directly 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.600 like DM with hey, bro, you're doing anything type of deal, 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.280 Like I don't know. I also don't really look for 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.000 that either, so it's like, yeah some of them do, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.240 Like bands is really like the person I work with. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:49.959 You know, there's I can't remember. There's other producers you. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.719 Do you do you take loops from other producers, Like 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.480 if someone has like a dope sample and they're like, yeah, 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.160 someone's got. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.240 A dope yeah, and it's hard. Yeah, I'll use it for. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.199 Sure, but for the most part, you're chopping your own. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.679 Either trop my own sample or just make my own 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.840 loops because I can play keys too. So it's like, 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.640 but if someone has a hard as sample or it's 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.199 in a it's in a different like uh like what 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.720 you say, like a different not different genre, but like 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.719 it's in a different like vibe outside of what I'm 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.240 already doing. Then like I'll take it, and then I'll 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.840 use that to either just learn you know what I'm saying, 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.640 and be like, Okay, what can I do to probably 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.520 make it myself now? You know what I'm saying, Like example, 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:28.880 like young Boy, Like if I want to make a 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.600 young boy loop, like I'm not, I would say I'm 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.800 the best at young boy loops, but I would listen 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.600 to other people shouldn't be Okay, those are the elements 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.040 they are using, you know what I'm saying. I'll still 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.000 use the loop, but then eventually I'll did. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.880 You ever upload touff on YouTube? Like any type beats 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:42.640 or anything like that? 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.560 Uh? I really did start doing it till like a 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.840 few years ago, but like, yeah, I would a long 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.800 time ago. You know, I probably had like one or 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.600 two I do and then now it's like I got, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.800 you know, just whatever I posted, but I do need 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.360 to do that more. I feel like I want to put. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.720 More on you, just like a just you know. I mean, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.680 but I'm sure you could get the leases cracking if 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.120 you really wanted to. Yeah, no, I could, I could. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.080 I just I don't know. But it's like this at 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.280 this point, you could. You have all this success, It's 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.480 like you might as well start tappening with other artists. Yeah, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:14.800 that's that's really where we are right now. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.880 For the people gets first DIBs, Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.880 he definitely gets first DIBs for sure. All like the 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.640 hottest anything that's hot that I made. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.760 Roll Sma said, you guys are working on a new compilation. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.480 New compilation, Yeah, new six Yeah uh.

It's a little forgot about. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.080 It's you got to think about Texas. You guys got 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:03.480 to be why I. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:08.480 Be going, right, it's for me.

But I was working seven days 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.600 a week for like five years strong. I was working 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.840 at Chapotle in this place called Cowboy Chicken.
