Speaker 5: UZI Bert, all these things happening. What's real, what's not?
Speaker 5: Did they really get into an argument? Was it over
Speaker 5: Ice Spice or was it for other reasons? Let's see
Speaker 5: what you believe. It's way up with Angela yee et.
Speaker 2: Nextay, yeah, she back at it, bringing the max.
Speaker 4: Way up with Angela yee is on what's up? It's
Speaker 4: way up with Angela yee I'm Angela Yee.
Speaker 5: Jasmine from the Jasmine brand is here, Yes, and we
Speaker 5: are doing Gurus of the Gram coach Kai Benji is
Speaker 5: talking about cheating.
Speaker 4: Let's see if you agree.
Speaker 9: Giving another woman attention is cheating. Making another woman feel
Speaker 9: like she has a chance is cheating. Cheating isn't always physical.
Speaker 9: If you're giving another woman your time and attention, you
Speaker 9: are cheating.
Speaker 5: Once again, Is this cheating? It's Gurus of the Gram,
Speaker 5: call us up and let us know what you think.
Speaker 4: Eight fifty fifty.
Speaker 8: I feel like anything that you ain't gonna do in
Speaker 8: front of your partner, or anything you ain't cool with
Speaker 8: your partner doing.
Speaker 5: The cheat Okay, okay, So even if it's not physical,
Speaker 5: it's just even conversations.
Speaker 10: Yeah, even if it's not physical, like it's anything texas
Speaker 10: setting them off me, I mean sending people mean tight.
Speaker 11: If you ain't cool with your partner doing all right?
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Hey, Jessica, how are you hi?
Speaker 12: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good? What are your thoughts about? Gurus of the Gram?
Speaker 5: Is that cheating if it's not physical but showing attention?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 12: So you know, first off, emotional cheating is way worth
Speaker 12: so physical cheating stuff with that. But also at the
Speaker 12: same time, it's like a very broad statement that he says.
Speaker 12: If we're going to be talking about as far as
Speaker 12: building on, like if you're having an issue with your
Speaker 12: girl and then you run into the next female basically
Speaker 12: trying to get comfort, then yes, that's emotional cheating. But
Speaker 12: if you like have a friend and you know it's
Speaker 12: like a strictly platonic thing, I don't necessarily consider that
Speaker 12: as cheating. You know, it's at the end of the day.
Speaker 12: I just feel like it's all about the communication on
Speaker 12: where you stand and to make sure like your girl
Speaker 12: is not like in picture and things like that. You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a fine line.
Speaker 5: I have to say that because sometimes people get upset
Speaker 5: over things like friendships that are platonic.
Speaker 4: It's a fine line. All right, So we have Z
Speaker 4: on the line. What's up Z. What do you think
Speaker 4: what's going on?
Speaker 3: I definitely think it might be it's like micro cheating.
Speaker 3: You're kind of like paying a little.
Speaker 13: Bit too much attention to someone that you definitely uh want.
Speaker 4: But you're not touching them. It's not physical.
Speaker 3: But let's say you're liking all their pictures on their profile.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, you did it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want my partner to find out about that.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of micro cheating.
Speaker 14: I like that term of micro cheating. Yeah, I never
Speaker 14: heard that, Okay, I figure Okay, all right.
Speaker 4: Macro cheating is when you get physical brows.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it?
Speaker 14: You see?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 5: Well that was Guru of the Gram. So again, thank
Speaker 5: y'all for calling. We learned a new term today, micro cheating.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna say it's a micro cheat. May all
Speaker 4: sound like minor.
Speaker 14: Also I found out that, uh, liking pictures is micro cheating. Fi, yeah,
Speaker 14: you were asking me that.
Speaker 6: Mm hm.
Speaker 5: Well they get a coach, Kai Vinci, a relationship coach
Speaker 5: for that, Guru of the Gram. Sometimes they around point
Speaker 5: sometimes we don't agree. When we come back, we have
Speaker 5: your yet, and let's talk about Kodak Black. He was
Speaker 5: booked at at a jail in Florida. But we're released
Speaker 5: and we'll tell you what the circumstances are. People are
Speaker 5: very concerned it's way up at Angela Yee.

Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's start it off with Kodak Black.
Speaker 5: He was booked at a jail in Florida, but he
Speaker 5: was released on a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 5: Now Bradford Cohen, who is kodak lawyer, by the way,
Speaker 5: I met him when I went to Fort Lauderdale to
Speaker 5: do a sit down with Kodak. Really, yes, we had
Speaker 5: a whole conversation about everything that's been going on.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 5: Kodak, you know, is uh having his He's on his
Speaker 5: pre chart release for his prescription drug case. He has
Speaker 5: to check in regularly with authorities and take mandatory urine tests,
Speaker 5: but he did not check in recently.
Speaker 4: And they actually went.
Speaker 5: To court over this issue yesterday, and Kodak went on
Speaker 5: Instagram live Sunday night complaining about that situation.
Speaker 4: Here's what he said, Nobody notify me.
Speaker 3: Where nobody, nobody yal, nobody hit me.
Speaker 13: You don't unassume emails of put no hats on alert
Speaker 13: like he needed to comptn't comp.
Speaker 4: You know, getting that that's what working on. Yes, people
Speaker 4: are very concerned by the way.
Speaker 6: I'm concerned based off of this. I'm definitely concerned.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so a lot of people posting it and their
Speaker 5: stories like please help Kodak, like make sure he gets whatever.
Speaker 4: It is that he needs.
Speaker 5: And you know, he is also arguing in court his
Speaker 5: lawyers to get rid of the pre child supervision. The
Speaker 5: judge agreed, but also ended up increasing that bond from
Speaker 5: the seventy five thousand dollars that it was to two
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So that's why he had
Speaker 5: to do a mugshot and get booked again.
Speaker 6: Oh got it?
Speaker 5: Okay, right, so you know, there you have it. And Pink,
Speaker 5: let's talk about her for a second. You know, we've

Speaker 14: I don't like I saw like people you know, God
Speaker 14: blas us, the you know person that is in along
Speaker 14: with us. But I just feel like people are trying
Speaker 14: to have moments and just outdo each other at this point.

Speaker 5: it's not really his mom's ashes.
Speaker 6: What if it is, it's just too much. I don't

Speaker 5: city of Memphis. I saw some people were like, wait,

Speaker 14: Is that because his mom? I mean sorry, because his
Speaker 14: dad has such a connection to Memphis.
Speaker 4: Is that the I don't know.

Speaker 5: want you to come there.
Speaker 6: Are you speaking from experience?
Speaker 4: Angela? Yeah, sometimes you get honored because people just want
Speaker 4: you to show up.

Speaker 5: isn't from the actual tear. He said, so as soon
Speaker 5: as the spasm stop, I should be good. He should
Speaker 5: be good to go.

Speaker 5: All right, now let's talk about Jim Jones. He was
Speaker 5: actually on the phone with Joe Button on the Joe
Speaker 5: Button Podcast and he was talking about his issues now
Speaker 5: with Push Your Tea and just to give you all
Speaker 5: the recapit it all started with Jim Jones saying that
Speaker 5: anything didn't think Push Your Tea was in the top
Speaker 5: fifty rappers. But then he got more personal about his
Speaker 5: style of dress. No one wants to look like him. Well,
Speaker 5: after that, pusha te did drop a song while he
Speaker 5: was at the Louis Vauton show that Pharrell did in Paris. Well,
Speaker 5: Jim Jones and came straight back at Push a t
Speaker 5: and I did a whole entire dis song with a
Speaker 5: video and everything, and he went very hard and direct. Well,
Speaker 5: now he's talking about what's going on, and here's what
Speaker 5: he had to say about it being all fun and games,
Speaker 5: but one time, I like.
Speaker 15: I'm in a place where I don't have to fumble
Speaker 15: with who I am. I don't got a fumble with
Speaker 15: my I could really just do music and have a
Speaker 15: good time. But it's all funny games and that's what
Speaker 15: I'm taking it as display of warnery.
Speaker 5: Well, people also want to know what's going to happen
Speaker 5: when pusha T comes back with a response? And do
Speaker 5: you think push your T is gonna come back with
Speaker 5: a response?
Speaker 14: I do think push your T's gonna come back with
Speaker 14: a response. And I don't know if Jim Jones is
Speaker 14: gonna respond after that, because I feel like pushing T
Speaker 14: lyrically is you know, he's can be very his words
Speaker 14: can sting, so I feel like he goes blow the
Speaker 14: belt and so he may go below the belt in
Speaker 14: the second round.
Speaker 4: So all right, well here's what Jim Jones has to
Speaker 4: say about that.
Speaker 3: If he says something foul, you have to be able
Speaker 3: to just respond on.
Speaker 8: F you say so sound. He got to be ready
Speaker 8: to play the game. It's a slight it could go.
Speaker 5: It also kind of feels like maybe it's time because
Speaker 5: when somebody beats with someone, does that mean the crews
Speaker 5: are beefing?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: It does. Okay, so what is it?
Speaker 14: Where does this leave Mano No Mano. Yeah, you know,

Speaker 5: but then to push your t obviously his brother no malice. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's for relling Bob now because it's hap at his
Speaker 5: Louis Bauton show.

Speaker 14: Pharrell's very he gives very peaceful vibes. I've never seen
Speaker 14: him be for nobody, right, I've never seen him.
Speaker 4: All right, Well here's what Jim Jones had to say

Speaker 4: think he meant that his wife did that.
Speaker 5: I also don't know that this is a real greenshot,
Speaker 5: they say a since deleted Instagram post.

Speaker 5: Carlisha was the victim in this case, all right, And
Speaker 5: as you can imagine, there's a lot of trauma. I
Speaker 5: was saying to you earlier, I can't imagine how this
Speaker 5: would affect a fourteen year old to come in see
Speaker 5: your mom being attacked and then shooting the person that's
Speaker 5: attacking your mom.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's trauma on multiple levels.
Speaker 7: Mm hm.
Speaker 5: And you know, Carlisha Hood, I mean imagine you now
Speaker 5: you're attack, your son, goes through this trauma, and then
Speaker 5: you get arrested in charge.
Speaker 6: With murder, right, it was yeah, mm hm was this
Speaker 6: was a wild story.
Speaker 5: But you know, we're getting more details about what happened.
Speaker 5: She was arguing with a man in line, and her
Speaker 5: son came in. He was watching from the doorway, and
Speaker 5: then police had witnesses said the man started arguing with
Speaker 5: his mom that was Jerry and Brown who was arguing
Speaker 5: with Carlsha and then started repeatedly punching her in the head.
Speaker 4: All of that was captured on.
Speaker 5: Cell phone video that went viral, which, by the way,
Speaker 5: nobody wants to have to see that.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's gotta be hard to have to see over
Speaker 14: and over again. I mean, it was hard for me
Speaker 14: to watch, and I just watched it briefly one time.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 5: Brown was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
Speaker 5: Carlisha Hood and her son were later charged with first
Speaker 5: degree murder. They said, no one else in the establishment
Speaker 5: did anything. I saw, so once you saw that happening
Speaker 5: to his mom, that's when he took action, all right.
Speaker 5: In addition to the murder charge, Carlsia had faced affect
Speaker 5: any kount of contributing to the delinquency of a minor,
Speaker 5: but they dropped all of the charges. They said, based
Speaker 5: upon the facts, evidence and the law, we were unable
Speaker 5: to meet our burden. Okay, Now, imagine something like this
Speaker 5: happens to your mom. Listen, I don't care what age
Speaker 5: you are, You're gonna do whatever you can protect your mother.
Speaker 4: Protect your mother.
Speaker 5: And according to a legal analyst from ABC seven, Gilsoffer,
Speaker 5: he said, but this video, what this leak video did,
Speaker 5: was it really flipped the prosecutor's view of the case.
Speaker 5: Before seeing this, they clearly were of the view that
Speaker 5: the defendant was the aggressor. Now they are of the
Speaker 5: view that the person they had formerly seen as the
Speaker 5: victim was the aggressor. And so yes, so anyway, they
Speaker 5: got to make sure from the trauma that they're going
Speaker 5: to have from an incident like this, you know, that
Speaker 5: the fourteen year.
Speaker 4: Old gets the help that he needs, absolutely, and the
Speaker 4: mom as well.
Speaker 5: I would I would find it very difficult to even
Speaker 5: have to go anywhere and do anything.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and she also she had license to carry, not
Speaker 14: that she shot, but she was she did have a
Speaker 14: license to carry for the gun.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 5: So again, they were just defending themselves. And it's a
Speaker 5: shame that all those people were in there and no
Speaker 5: one did anything, I know, you know, but fortunately for
Speaker 5: them that case was job, but unfortunately they had to
Speaker 5: go through all of that, and this has to be
Speaker 5: that that even happened in the first place, and now
Speaker 5: person is dead and a fourteen year old has to
Speaker 5: deal with that type of trauma.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, But we just wanted to give you.
Speaker 5: An update on the case and also let you hear
Speaker 5: what Carlicia Hood had to say in that press conference
Speaker 5: firsthand and the fact that she does plan to follow
Speaker 5: a lawsuit after the Cook County State Attorney General Office
Speaker 5: dropped the charges. So again we will keep you updated
Speaker 5: on what's happening with that.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: We do have Eric Bellinger still joining us this morning
Speaker 4: to make things very pleasant.
Speaker 5: Yeah for us, ye, change the mood a little bit.
Speaker 5: We are in Detroit, so we got a lot going
Speaker 5: on out here today. So thank y'all for rocking with us.
Speaker 5: And when we come back, we do have Eric Bellinger.
Speaker 5: It's way up with Angela yee.
Speaker 4: It's way up with Angela yee. I'm Angela Gee. And
Speaker 4: Jasmine from the Jasmine Brand is here. Hey, Jasmine, Hey Angela.
Speaker 6: I love the Troy By the way.
Speaker 5: I know I told you, I'm like, listen, We're about
Speaker 5: to really be outside. You know, I've been love Detroy,
Speaker 5: but the Troit. I like when my friends come with
Speaker 5: me here and they're like, I'm coming back, And how
Speaker 5: many people come back here without me after they come
Speaker 5: with me for the first time.
Speaker 6: I have yet to be here without you, but I
Speaker 6: look forward to it.
Speaker 5: All right, Well, we do have Eric Bellinger coming up,
Speaker 5: and he's a singer songwriter. But I realized some of
Speaker 5: my favorite singers are also really big songwriters, like first
Speaker 5: and I was just thinking about some of them, like.
Speaker 6: The Dream he writes hits.
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, people like I guess WECo Love I would
Speaker 4: say too, Sean Garrett.
Speaker 6: You know who I love?
Speaker 5: Money Long, Missy Elliott, Missy Elliott. Yes, Babyface. You know
Speaker 5: one of the most iconic, legendary ones, Smokey Robinson.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's not forget about that.
Speaker 5: But Babyface, Victoria Monette, just so many people who are
Speaker 5: singer songwriters. If you guys want to hit us up
Speaker 5: to so we can shout out some of the best
Speaker 5: ones who we know. I'm just thinking, I realize there's
Speaker 5: a lot of people who started off you know.
Speaker 4: Who else, Pink Sweats.
Speaker 6: I didn't realize that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's really Also, you know, I was gonna say
Speaker 5: from TGT aur.
Speaker 6: Guy Tank, Yeah, Tank has a lot of hits.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So shout out.
Speaker 5: To all the singer songwriters, okay, because I feel like
Speaker 5: sometimes you are more connected to somebody when they write
Speaker 5: their own songs because they're writing about their life.
Speaker 6: Right for sure, you know.
Speaker 5: Or but collaborations are good too, Like I think Tony
Speaker 5: Braxton when she did her album and did that with Babyface,
Speaker 5: we were able to see where she was in her
Speaker 5: life and we were like relate to that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, you know who also was amazing. But
Speaker 6: I mean tail us with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, we do have to give it up.
Speaker 5: He Yeah, we got starting about all her exes, yes, yes,
Speaker 5: can they be mad?
Speaker 4: But though and Carrie Hilson, Yeah, I just carry baby
Speaker 4: all right. Well listen, guys.
Speaker 5: With all that being said, Eric Bellinger has written some
Speaker 5: of your favorite songs, but he also is a great
Speaker 5: artist in his own right, and we'll be talking to
Speaker 5: him when we come back.
Speaker 4: It's way up and Angela Yee, Angela, what's up?
Speaker 5: It's way up with Angela Ye, I'm Angela Yee and
Speaker 5: Jazzmine from the Jasmine Brand is here, Maino is here,
Speaker 5: look at you doing interviews, and Eric Bellinger is here.
Speaker 4: It's easy, but thank you for joining us.
Speaker 5: I think I've only had I've had you on lip
Speaker 5: Service previously. I believe the episode you were Almos with
Speaker 5: Trouble also, right Trouble. Yeah he was there, Yeah, Trouble
Speaker 5: was there. That was a wild episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just listening.
Speaker 4: When I see, all right, well let's get into it.
Speaker 5: Because you have had really your pretty long career, and
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've seen a lot of artists come and go. Yeah,
Speaker 5: during time that you first started, what year was like
Speaker 5: the first single or song that you had out.
Speaker 3: In a group in the group. This was the group. Man,
Speaker 3: that's like two thousand and three.
Speaker 6: See, you can't forget how did you come up with
Speaker 6: that name?
Speaker 13: The group was called a New Ak and U slip.
Speaker 13: I never I ain't never understood. We signed the epic,
Speaker 13: we signed the Max Goose and it was a vibe.
Speaker 13: It didn't it didn't work out. Batk broke up. It
Speaker 13: was tough for army groups at WOW and yeah, after that,
Speaker 13: I just got into another group and I got into
Speaker 13: another group. I was like group after group and then
Speaker 13: twenty ten, I was like, I gotta just do me
Speaker 13: drop the other groups. So you got o Ay and
Speaker 13: then another one called Avenue, But none of the songs
Speaker 13: never really surface like that, you know. It was just
Speaker 13: like working so long and trying to get a deal,
Speaker 13: and it got a deal and it got shelved, and.
Speaker 6: It was just like, were you writing when you were
Speaker 6: in those groups?
Speaker 3: I was writing. I was engineering for the groups.
Speaker 5: When you finally made that leap, yeah, okay, what made
Speaker 5: you say okay, forget all this other stuff. I'd have
Speaker 5: been in three groups when you finally said I'm gonna
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 13: What was the reason why writing? Like I had a
Speaker 13: passion to write songs for other artists. A lot of
Speaker 13: my friends was getting placements on like huge artists, and
Speaker 13: I was like, and I couldn't go right because of
Speaker 13: the group. It was like they didn't want me to
Speaker 13: go outside, and it was like, nah, we gotta do
Speaker 13: everything for us. And after a while I started getting.
Speaker 6: Tired, like I'm doing all this, like I feel you.
Speaker 3: We got songs on songs, but they saying didn't feel right.
Speaker 6: Who's the first big artist that you wrote for? And
Speaker 6: how did you get that look, Chris.
Speaker 13: Brown, No, Usher, Usher, Usher was first I did, let
Speaker 13: me see first, and then everything else kind of trickled
Speaker 13: down because a lot of the artists that I work
Speaker 13: with after that, my son RCA as well. So Mark
Speaker 13: Pitts was like, Okay, cool, he killed it with Usher.
Speaker 13: Let's get him with Justin Bieber. Let's move him with
Speaker 13: Chris Brown. And I was knocking him out.
Speaker 5: Right now we are talking to the legend Eric Bellinger,
Speaker 5: And how was your publishing situation at that time in
Speaker 5: writing and knowing how to turn I know that.
Speaker 3: Was a little bit of a that was terrible. You
Speaker 3: gotta go through your your little horror stories low key,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 13: Like I did a deal and it was the worst deal.
Speaker 13: But I didn't have no placements, I have no songs out.
Speaker 13: They looked at it like giving me, taking a.
Speaker 3: Chance on you. So let's, you know, give you this
Speaker 3: little deal. See what you do.
Speaker 13: Nine years later, twenty nineteen, I finally completed the deal.
Speaker 3: Wow, nine years, nine years, And you gotta understand.
Speaker 13: I was getting placements after placements like a dang, but
Speaker 13: they was just like, oh, that don't count. Like there
Speaker 13: was finding stipulations like the ndr C, or it has
Speaker 13: to be on a single, not just on the It
Speaker 13: was so many things in the in the put mixtapes
Speaker 13: and then yeah, if it's a mixtape, they don't count
Speaker 13: as a real album.
Speaker 3: Like I did my part though, like he cut the song,
Speaker 3: he dropped the song, Yeah, but it was on a mixtape.
Speaker 3: I'm like.
Speaker 13: It was just so many little things like that that
Speaker 13: I was like, this is crazy because technically I had
Speaker 13: finished recouping like in a year, so I was like
Speaker 13: doing my my quota.
Speaker 3: But it was like, nah, the percentage of the mdr C.
Speaker 6: What's the MBRC.
Speaker 13: It's basically when you think about how many percentages, So
Speaker 13: it's one hundred percent of a song, right, say for example,
Speaker 13: I have four hundred percent NDRC is what they call it.
Speaker 13: I had My deal was like one hundred percent four songs.
Speaker 13: But when you break it down, one song is fifty
Speaker 13: percent producer, fifty percent artist I mean, wrote songwriter. So
Speaker 13: now that four songs turns to eight songs. So now
Speaker 13: out of that fifty percent, if there's three co writers,
Speaker 13: seventeen percent, you know what I mean. So now it
Speaker 13: just keeps getting diluted and deluted. Once you start looking
Speaker 13: at the find print on the contract.
Speaker 5: And sometimes when you work for bigger artists, they want
Speaker 5: a bigger percentage too for not writing a boss.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm like, you do write nothing, I'm trying to
Speaker 3: meet my quota.
Speaker 5: Right, But you'll be like, look, I'll right for this person. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and take a lower percentage because that's a huge Look.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 13: Because even with lower percentage, like the money that I
Speaker 13: was making from the songs, it was like a lot
Speaker 13: to the point where they got their money back from me.
Speaker 13: So it was like I always had recouped, but it
Speaker 13: was just that the percentage rule with the money. But
Speaker 13: now you know that was that's an old fashioned thing
Speaker 13: that deals don't do that no more. It ain't no
Speaker 13: more n DRC. Most deals is just straight recouped. So
Speaker 13: you've been in the game a long time and you've
Speaker 13: been I listen to your music. You you really consistent.
Speaker 13: Do you feel like you underrated though I'm an independent artist,
Speaker 13: I feel like it's a different energy. I don't think
Speaker 13: I'm underrated. I just feel like it's maybe under promoted.
Speaker 3: I don't know, like people don't.
Speaker 13: Know, like people don't know as much as you would see,
Speaker 13: like you're not gonna drive by billboard and see everybody,
Speaker 13: You're not gonna drive by a buzz bench and just
Speaker 13: not because the budgets that I'm doing.
Speaker 3: It ain't that you know.
Speaker 4: Do you want that though? Like do you want to
Speaker 4: have people drive by and see you want a billboard?
Speaker 3: Or do you like it? It'll be cool? Yeah, it'll
Speaker 3: be cool coming out, so see that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would imagine you could get that type of situation.
Speaker 5: That's why I'm asking.
Speaker 3: I never tried, I never took Why God though, if.
Speaker 5: That's what you would want, Like, what what made you
Speaker 5: say I'm gonna I'm staying in this independent where you're
Speaker 5: still going on tours, selling out shows, you can, you
Speaker 5: have major artists on your albums and you're on theirs.
Speaker 4: So what made what holds you back from even doing
Speaker 4: all that?
Speaker 3: Well? I don't know. I think I fell in love
Speaker 3: with the freedom. It's like a partnership.
Speaker 13: Impart does like a partnership to where they're like, whatever
Speaker 13: you want to do, we're gonna support it, you know.
Speaker 13: So the budgets just ain't as grand, you know what
Speaker 13: I mean. But it's still like me feeding what I
Speaker 13: need the necessities. Now I'm recouping faster. Now I'm getting
Speaker 13: monthly payments. Like artists signed to majors they're not.
Speaker 10: Getting right, and you're feeding your core core base corbette
Speaker 10: so you're able to tour. Your shows is always sold out.
Speaker 4: So some artist sign those major deals, I don't never
Speaker 4: see no money from.
Speaker 3: There right ever on their actual label. So now you
Speaker 3: think about it.
Speaker 13: I done to drop thirty seven albums, and now I
Speaker 13: got all these streams that have accumulated over the years,
Speaker 13: and I own the masters. So now I can say, hey,
Speaker 13: let's do a deal where we sell a couple of
Speaker 13: albums now chipped off with millions of dollars, and I'm
Speaker 13: buying cribs and I'm doing all these things and I'm
Speaker 13: owning it all because I own the music. Now you
Speaker 13: could think, okay, you would be more famous maybe if you,
Speaker 13: you know, had them pumping all this money into your music,
Speaker 13: into your studio sessions, and now you're huge, but you're
Speaker 13: not gonna get the famous.
Speaker 4: But Broke exactly seen you recently on TMZ.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I was like, maybe they won't post it,
Speaker 3: yeah right, he.
Speaker 4: Like, Okay, Like I know that people are going to
Speaker 4: keep on asking you.
Speaker 5: First you're you know, you're married to make a good sister,
Speaker 5: and then everything that's happening with her.
Speaker 4: I was like, I know everywhere he goes now they're
Speaker 4: going to be like, so, what do you think about?
Speaker 3: It's crazy? And I was like all right.
Speaker 13: At first, so I was like that was crazy, Like okay,
Speaker 13: I didn't think it would happen again, and then it
Speaker 13: happened again again happening I was like, oh, this is
Speaker 13: like the usher thing, the tiny ds. Not everybody hit
Speaker 13: the note bro hit the note It's what do you
Speaker 13: think of?

Speaker 4: It's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 5: I'm Angela Yee and Jasmine from the Jazzmine brand and
Speaker 5: made No are here with us and we are talking
Speaker 5: to Eric Bellinger. We were having a conversation the other
Speaker 5: day about posting your significant other on social media. There
Speaker 5: was like a study that's like people who post all
Speaker 5: the time are trying to get validation. It was like
Speaker 5: something that said, those are the people who usually aren't,
Speaker 5: you know, as happy, and you know clearly you've been
Speaker 5: in a relationship for a long time. You guys are
Speaker 5: It seems like we never know, but it seems like
Speaker 5: you guys are good and stay. But when did you
Speaker 5: get to the point where you were like, Okay, now
Speaker 5: the world can know.
Speaker 13: We have been dating a while, we have been doing
Speaker 13: all that, and somebody else actually posted us first, and
Speaker 13: I was like, oh you just still. It was like
Speaker 13: a congratulations joint, you know what I mean, Like congratulations
Speaker 13: y'all are having a baby.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, you know they did not. That's okay, No,
Speaker 4: I invite you to the baby shower.
Speaker 3: This is all family.
Speaker 5: Because especially announcing a baby, y'all. I didn't people didn't
Speaker 5: even know you guys. You and La Maya were dating
Speaker 5: until she was pregnant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, I don't know if they.
Speaker 13: I don't know if they it was announced, because we
Speaker 13: don't be announcing, like we don't be like like how
Speaker 13: you said when people post, that's not our thing. We're
Speaker 13: not against it. We're just not like look at us,
Speaker 13: look at us, look at us. And I think that's
Speaker 13: why it's just organic, and I think that's better.
Speaker 3: You don't have noth has a.
Speaker 6: Different reason for not posting.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 6: The same place.
Speaker 19: It's the same thing because at the end of the day,
Speaker 19: we're not seeking validation, like why he doesn't some people
Speaker 19: be on there trying to like get clout exactly, you know,
Speaker 19: like really be like get something like yo, I'm dating
Speaker 19: this person. I'm dating this person, and you sleep your
Speaker 19: way to the top, right, But ours is really like
Speaker 19: this is just my partner for real, Like if somebody
Speaker 19: catches us on camera, if we go so where, we
Speaker 19: might post.
Speaker 3: It, but it's never for y'all.
Speaker 6: How did tiny desk benefit you?
Speaker 13: Like I said, independent, you know, like like it's an
Speaker 13: underground thing. When you think Eric Bellinger, if you know,
Speaker 13: you know, you know, it's not like number one, number one, Yeah,
Speaker 13: the songs, thank you, the songs is just like undeniable music.
Speaker 3: And it's never been about anything other than the music
Speaker 3: with me.
Speaker 13: So now when you think like Eric Bellinger, the underground hero,
Speaker 13: usher calls now I'm on the main stage. Now I'm
Speaker 13: in the spotlight. Now He's like, I want to introduce
Speaker 13: you all to Eric Bellinger, incredible singer.
Speaker 3: Songwriter brother. I want him to do his thing, you know.
Speaker 13: So that literally hit like a reset button and made
Speaker 13: the people that being supporting me have something to champion,
Speaker 13: and then the people that were just finding out about
Speaker 13: me discover that discovery point is always important for an artist,
Speaker 13: you know, like where did you first find this artist?
Speaker 13: Where did you first hear them? And so for me
Speaker 13: to be right there with us, sure, it's like it's
Speaker 13: like a co sign that's they don't get no higher.
Speaker 3: It was organic.
Speaker 4: We are talking to Eric Bellinger.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 5: Normally we would have asked after this, but instead we're
Speaker 5: gonna grace you with some more Eric Bellinger when we
Speaker 5: come back.

Speaker 5: check that you've gotten for a song? Like, what song
Speaker 5: would you say has brought you the most.
Speaker 4: Money long term?
Speaker 3: Oh? Like overall overall?

Speaker 5: the kids through college and everything.
Speaker 13: Nah, maybe goat my song go for me, like that's
Speaker 13: like my that's my biggest song. And that song definitely

Speaker 13: song song angel Like have you heard this?
Speaker 4: Like don't you?
Speaker 16: Of course?
Speaker 6: I didn't know that?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, And I think it's tough to scale how
Speaker 13: much you made from one song like that, you know
Speaker 13: what I mean? Like when you write a gang of songs,
Speaker 13: the company being my ass cap, whoever you with, they
Speaker 13: sending you a.
Speaker 3: Check that has like all the income from all the.
Speaker 4: Many Yeah, but it's from your own song, not oh
Speaker 4: no no no that I mean.
Speaker 3: From my own song. It's easier to judge, but like
Speaker 3: other songs, it's tough.
Speaker 6: Do you ever want to keep stuff that you write?
Speaker 3: I have wanted to.
Speaker 6: Is there any song that you regret giving away?
Speaker 3: Like you wanted to keep it? Not regret, not regret.
Speaker 3: But it is songs that I reached out, like, Hey,
Speaker 3: what's up with love more? Are y'all gonna use that?
Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, we just got Nigma Na never
Speaker 3: mind that, but like I have asked for that one before.
Speaker 3: Let me see, I really liked that one.
Speaker 13: But it was like my first time actually going to
Speaker 13: a studio like Righte for Usher, and I was like,
Speaker 13: I was like, man, I want this, you know. I
Speaker 13: think after hearing him cut it, that birth something new
Speaker 13: inside of me to where it was like, all right,
Speaker 13: I want to keep doing that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 13: And if you know, I run out of bars. I
Speaker 13: don't need to be in the room. I don't deserve it.
Speaker 5: Right now we are talking to the legend Eric Bellinger.
Speaker 5: What do you do outside of because clearly you love
Speaker 5: being in the studio. But outside of all that, what
Speaker 5: does Eric Bellinger do in life?
