Speaker 1: for them, no disrespect. But you know, I don't this
Speaker 1: passed my generation. I just know I grew up and
Speaker 1: my daddy would like put me down with all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, okay, nod, nod, nod, No they notice.
Speaker 1: So I know the names and you know a little
Speaker 1: bit of their catalogs, and I was like my dad

Speaker 1: so your dad had to put you on the Lauren Ship.
Speaker 1: And yes, Jerry like produced like they major, Like he
Speaker 1: produced something I can't remember, but I made him coolest
Speaker 1: for humble as hell, like yeah, your pop, Like was
Speaker 1: he like a huge music head? Did he have like
Speaker 1: a lot of yeah, like he it was more like
Speaker 1: not just overall music, just like more like hip hop,
Speaker 1: you know everything else, Like I learned like the R
Speaker 1: and B ship from my grandma. My mom was so
Speaker 1: that was putting up on the rap ship. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then he didn't really fuck with too many females, but
Speaker 1: like the ones that I know I know from him,
Speaker 1: like that nigga when he fucked with a bitch, Like
Speaker 1: he loved Left Eye. He loved Lauren like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Who else he loves Kim Like we're
Speaker 1: his favorite, like just rappers in general, Like what was
Speaker 1: the ship that you were like jumping in the car
Speaker 1: with your dad and it was his favorite song? Ever?
Speaker 1: Is like something bone Thugs, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Yeah,
Speaker 1: something probly cross Roads, something like that ice Cube Today
Speaker 1: was a good day or a good day. We need
Speaker 1: to move your dad to la because both of those
Speaker 1: artists perform at some festival in Ontario, California, once every
Speaker 1: ninety days. There's like a Toyota Center West Coast Fest
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, so he like he from Ohio though,
Speaker 1: but he like loved like West Coast Ohio bones from Ohio,
Speaker 1: so that makes sense and he do love him some
Speaker 1: bone shot, but he like he go crazy for n
Speaker 1: W a pug Like, Yeah, so I grew up on that.
Speaker 1: My parents were like in the like Death Leopard and
Speaker 1: like yeah, no, I got you know, my mama's side,
Speaker 1: on my daddy's side, So I got like a little
Speaker 1: bit of everything. I'm not too familiar with everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you're you're mixed, right, So your mom what was
Speaker 1: she listening to? See? My mama was more like all
Speaker 1: over the place, like she loved like R and B,
Speaker 1: oh school R and B. But like she grew up
Speaker 1: on like country music, like that side like her mom
Speaker 1: and them they like country music. Like when I go
Speaker 1: out there for like and during the summer stuff, it'd
Speaker 1: be like country pulling out guitar Like yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny because like I just started watching this show
Speaker 1: called Yellowstone. Have you heard of the show. It's with
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner. It's about this ranch in Montana, some gangster shit.
Speaker 1: It's like powerful with cowboys about a ranch. There's some
Speaker 1: gangster ass ship. There's these motherfucking cowboys that be killing people.
Speaker 1: It's fucking wild. But it made me like be like, dang,
Speaker 1: I need to start listening to country because it is
Speaker 1: I feel like country is kind of like rap music
Speaker 1: but just for rednecks. No, I think I think it's
Speaker 1: it's with all the music genres, like we be talking
Speaker 1: about the same shit. It's just like our beats are different,
Speaker 1: our flows are different. You know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 1: all talk about fucking getting money and all type of shit.
Speaker 1: We're just saying it different. If you had to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, give me like your top three influences just
Speaker 1: as a rapper that you you know, because you, like
Speaker 1: I said, you've been doing this a long time. Like
Speaker 1: who was who was like very influential to you in
Speaker 1: your style? Top three I'm gonna say for sure, Nikki,
Speaker 1: because you know, I grew up like I was saying,
Speaker 1: like my dad taught me about all these feelings that
Speaker 1: came before me. But it's like it's different when somebody
Speaker 1: come out during your generation, because it feels like he
Speaker 1: touched me. She used to go like definitely heavy influence.
Speaker 1: I used to what Nikki Gucci. Gucci always been my
Speaker 1: favorite rapper, like that slow Southern aesthetic like and then
Speaker 1: you know I grew up around that lifestyle, so it's
Speaker 1: like I appealed to that. Then I will say I'm
Speaker 1: stuck between. I probably say t I, t I T Y.
Speaker 1: You see t I is doing stand up comedy. Now
Speaker 1: he was on stage the comedy. Is he give me
Speaker 1: the yeah, give me words? You know Gucci? Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Gucci to me is the greatest an R and hip
Speaker 1: hop history. I think he's got the best ear we've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Yet don't find him an artist that nobody
Speaker 1: heard of and they're gonna blow yeah. And like if
Speaker 1: you even just think of the people he's put his
Speaker 1: arm around early, like the Egos or even like Ni
Speaker 1: yeah Nikki exactly, Like what was it like to have
Speaker 1: him put his arm around you and have him on
Speaker 1: one of your first records that really commercial? That ship
Speaker 1: was solid because Gucci ain't just gonna stamp no bullshit,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, you can't just pay
Speaker 1: Gucci to do a feature and he just gonna do
Speaker 1: it because you're paying him type shit. He got to
Speaker 1: actually fuck with you, you you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: when they was like, actually know a case in which
Speaker 1: he did take some money from a Korean pop band.
Speaker 1: It was a nice bag. Yeah, shout out to him.
Speaker 1: But anyway, it was, it was, it was, it was
Speaker 1: a great bag. So anyway, yeah, if you independing what
Speaker 1: kind of money were talking about what I'm saying. But no,
Speaker 1: like they was like, no, he fuck with you, like
Speaker 1: he gonna pull up to the video, he gonna like whatever,
Speaker 1: and he was just humboys hell. And then that's big
Speaker 1: for Atlanta, Like you're talking about a nigga like being
Speaker 1: from Atlantah, Gucci is legendary period. Like I feel like
Speaker 1: he is kind of the mountain, the mount Rushmore in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Like we could talk about GZ and t I, but
Speaker 1: I just feel like in Atlanta, it's Gucci and then
Speaker 1: it's everyone else respectively. Yeah. No, maybe nationally when we
Speaker 1: think of Atlanta, you put Gez up there. I just
Speaker 1: think in Atlanta, Gucci is the he is the uh
Speaker 1: he is that, He's the one. He's him, duncan he's him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure for sure. So with this record, Big Energy,
Speaker 1: this is a record that as soon as I heard it,
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, she finally got her crossover record. This
Speaker 1: is it, this is this is your moment. Like I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, this shit is like a layer you
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna do. This is a layup. The sample,
Speaker 1: everything about it was just great, like it's you know,
Speaker 1: I was talking to Lauri earlier and she was like,
Speaker 1: it's just such an easy song to work. Like if
Speaker 1: you don't play this song, you're a fucking hater. Did
Speaker 1: you know that right away? As soon as you cut
Speaker 1: the record like that, it had that potential, you know
Speaker 1: what I did. But I would only say I did
Speaker 1: because I'm so hard on myself. I'm so hard on myself.
Speaker 1: The only reason why I feel like I knew that
Speaker 1: is because first of all, I was working on this
Speaker 1: song for like a week, like every day going to
Speaker 1: the studio working on this same song eight hours. But
Speaker 1: every time when I went back home, well to the hotel,
Speaker 1: I was like humming that shit. So I'm like, this
Speaker 1: shit means something. This shit means something. Because I'll get
Speaker 1: frustrated and then leave a song, you know, and then
Speaker 1: come back to it a couple months later. Wall I
Speaker 1: did like that song but that why I did not
Speaker 1: leave it alone because I'm like, I keep humming this
Speaker 1: ship for a reason. So have you ever had a
Speaker 1: guy have big dick energy and end up not his
Speaker 1: energy not necessarily lining up with his actual physical uh situation?
Speaker 1: You know, I ain't gonna lie. I've been blessed in
Speaker 1: that department. I feel for my sisters. I read out
Speaker 1: stories on Twitter, like I thought they had big, big,
Speaker 1: big energy, and then we went to this crab and
Speaker 1: then ship kind of was a little disappointing, and I
Speaker 1: asked like a question like that on Twitter. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, like, have you I ever been in a
Speaker 1: situation where it wasn't big dick energy and the stories
Speaker 1: I was reading, child, I'm like, babe, I'm blessed. I'm blessed,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like bless like like what is the
Speaker 1: energy you think? Cause I know I know guys with
Speaker 1: little dick energy usually they have they have like really
Speaker 1: big trucks or like it's just like do too much.
Speaker 1: Like it don't even gotta be like a material thing
Speaker 1: or like what you own. It's just like a more
Speaker 1: of a like person, like like it's a charisma. Big
Speaker 1: big dig energy is a charisma or personality. It's just
Speaker 1: like how you walk, how you talk. It's not even like,
Speaker 1: oh I gotta chain, Oh I got a Ferrari like
Speaker 1: nine times out of tender little dick Nick. They gotta
Speaker 1: they gotta compensate, you know. I can't deal with that
Speaker 1: little messy drones shit. Yeah, well you've been blessed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very blessed. Shout out to you. Is there gonna
Speaker 1: be a remix for this record? Because it feels like
Speaker 1: the kind of record there should be like a maybe
Speaker 1: a Doja Cat feature on the remix you guys on
Speaker 1: the same label. No, we're definitely working on a remix.
Speaker 1: We're definitely working on It's just this song is like
Speaker 1: it's opened so many doors for me. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: and I'm already just hands on with my career, Like
Speaker 1: I irritate everybody. Everybody gets some No, I get on
Speaker 1: everybody's line. They don't want to too, but I know
Speaker 1: I get on everybody now. So you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: like very particular about it. It's like, I'm not just
Speaker 1: gonna just let anybody. I could hear Doja Cat on
Speaker 1: this though. Have you guys talked there been a little chat,
Speaker 1: maybe some sort of music in general. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say yes. I feel like it'd be such an
Speaker 1: easy play. You guys are on the same record label. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's just put it in the air. Doja Cat on
Speaker 1: the Big Energy Remix? I like the way that sounds.
Speaker 1: I like the way it sounds. I haven't even made
Speaker 1: like a for sure decision on who I want. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure you could put a man on that. Tell me,
Speaker 1: could you put a man on the on the Big
Speaker 1: dig Energy Remix? I'm not sure you could because because
Speaker 1: you would, but you would have to, wouldn't you have
Speaker 1: to kind of like be like listen, man, you can't
Speaker 1: have no medium dick down there. If you can be
Speaker 1: on the remix out, I don't know. Maybe you get
Speaker 1: only fans girl that test it out like a I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about him for the I saw that he was
Speaker 1: like and your big I'm curious. No, I think I
Speaker 1: think it would be cool to hear a boy perspective too, though.
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair, that's fair to be a girl.
Speaker 1: What would the girl if a guy made a remix
Speaker 1: to your record and but he put the male perspective
Speaker 1: on it, what would it? What would it be what
Speaker 1: would be like instead of would it be like clean? No.
Speaker 1: I feel like they expecting it to be clean because
Speaker 1: it's like big radio record. No. I mean like, would
Speaker 1: it be like clean pussy energy or would it be
Speaker 1: he said it would be the male Yes, oh big
Speaker 1: dig energies. Because it can't be big clean energy because
Speaker 1: that's not a track that sounds like you got a bodybuilder,
Speaker 1: a bodybuilder growth or mo. Yeah. Probably like clean, like
Speaker 1: like good a balanced pH energy, Balanced pH Energy. I
Speaker 1: liked the balance page Energy. I like that. You know,
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people have used the
Speaker 1: pandemic as an excuse to be lazy or why they popping,
Speaker 1: or why they're broke. You know a lot of motherfucking
Speaker 1: rappers who's struggling, right. I feel like you really just
Speaker 1: gluw up on a whole other level career wise in
Speaker 1: the last two years. Yeah, like what do you? I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, what, Like, what was your mindset going through?
Speaker 1: Because I really put that pressure on myself though, like

Speaker 1: We was in Atlanta in January last year, and I
Speaker 1: was it was like it was like being in a
Speaker 1: different world because we live here and over here's fucked up,
Speaker 1: Like you can't go nowhere, you gotta We were in
Speaker 1: Atlanta and I was like, Jesus Christ, I'm a fucking
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna say that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: It's a bad thing. It's just a different thing. I
Speaker 1: ain't mad at it. It's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of those cities kind of blew up,
Speaker 1: low key, like I know a lot of people who
Speaker 1: were just going to Atlanta the party, going to Miami
Speaker 1: to party because they couldn't party here. We're going to Arizona.
Speaker 1: Even like Scott Steele, that ship just a sensitive subject.
Speaker 1: Have you caught the Rona yet? I did have Corona? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. I feel like everyone's gonna catch it right
Speaker 1: the end of November early December. Was it a mild case. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mys was like the new variant whatever, that's like the
Speaker 1: only Yeah, the O Marion Marion Marion's nothing right. It's
Speaker 1: like a It's like a couple of coffee, only like
Speaker 1: I only tested positive for like three days. Well, I
Speaker 1: think no, no, I tested positive for like a week whatever,
Speaker 1: but the like contagious stages on like three days, and
Speaker 1: it just really feel like a cold, like I had
Speaker 1: the old school where I couldn't smell. Oh yeah him so.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I woke up one morning and
Speaker 1: my wife was cooking breakfast and I was like, you're cooking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't smell nothing, and I have like a little
Speaker 1: small pump about taste. I could still taste, but it
Speaker 1: was it was like seventy percent like normal. But so
Speaker 1: I have like a little Pomeranian, like a little dog, right,
Speaker 1: and he shat on the grass outside, and I said,
Speaker 1: this is the real test I got. I got on
Speaker 1: my knees. I took a sniff of his shit and
Speaker 1: I didn't smell nothing. I said, well, looks like I'm fucked.
Speaker 1: Well Ali, I mean you know what I'm saying. That
Speaker 1: could be a good thing, though there's nothing good out
Speaker 1: of not being able to taste. There's nothing yet. So
Speaker 1: I I do have a friend who allegedly can't smell.
Speaker 1: His name is TJ. Complex. Allegedly I say, because allegedly, yeah,
Speaker 1: he says, because he can't smell. He says that he's
Speaker 1: never had to worry about woman odors in his life.
Speaker 1: And I, while I do understand that could be a positive,
Speaker 1: to me, it's a serious negative because you have no
Speaker 1: idea what you're signing up for. Down like you wouldn't
Speaker 1: like you would know, like if something was crazy, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, I gotta rethink this. But for him, he's
Speaker 1: just and he can't taste either. So he's just kind
Speaker 1: of had coronavirus his whole life. Allegedly he was born
Speaker 1: like this, Hey, some shit happened. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Oh, so the don't have nothing
Speaker 1: to do with he can't taste. He can't smell, like
Speaker 1: since I've known him, it's been like since O eight.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that, like that's a good thing to
Speaker 1: not be able to smell. I agree, But he acts like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a good thing, man, you know. I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: it's not a good thing. Yeah, no, it's not a
Speaker 1: good thing. Tasting would be the worst. Though. What do
Speaker 1: you like to eat? I don't like your mind went there.
Speaker 1: I see where it went. I just met. I just met.
Speaker 1: I was coming from a fat guy perspective talking about
Speaker 1: actual food and see I'm talking about it. If he
Speaker 1: can't taste, so that's another thing. If he goes down
Speaker 1: there and it's and it's sour, you won't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be bad. And if you're
Speaker 1: at the chick like let's say he's in a relationship
Speaker 1: with a girl, she low key could be like, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't even fucking showering and he's gonna eat my
Speaker 1: pussy anyway, what's the matter? This ain't that's saying balanced
Speaker 1: pH energy, not balanced pH energy at all. But in general,
Speaker 1: what you live in Atlanta, which is one of the
Speaker 1: best food cities. I love going to Atlanta and eating,

Speaker 1: Let's get back to the podcast. It's pretty dope. Well,
Speaker 1: like the last few years, I've just noticed how Atlanta
Speaker 1: is fully behind you, like you are, like they take
Speaker 1: pride in you. They show up, they see me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so you know, we always hear about, like I
Speaker 1: feel like ninety percent of well, first of all culture,
Speaker 1: hip hop music, all of this has been at Atlanta's
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years. Oh yeah, since like two thousand.
Speaker 1: It's been a very long time. You guys have had
Speaker 1: the rains. But we always hear about, like how important
Speaker 1: it is if you're coming out of Atlanta to and
Speaker 1: it's very heavily saturated market with artists because a lot
Speaker 1: of people move there too to try to make it
Speaker 1: in the rap game. What were the things you had
Speaker 1: to make sure you did to pop off in your
Speaker 1: own city before you had it, before we got big energy,
Speaker 1: Because I know it's a very it's a it's a
Speaker 1: very tough place to I mean as much people are
Speaker 1: like it's easy as a lot of competition, that it's
Speaker 1: oversaturated because everybody that live here want to rap, and
Speaker 1: then you got people who come here to pursue their
Speaker 1: rapping dreams or singing dreams or whatever. But I think
Speaker 1: I really had the easy way out because I've been
Speaker 1: doing it so long, Like it wasn't no thought process
Speaker 1: into this ship, Like oh, like I'm an adult, now
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do? Like I want to do it
Speaker 1: like I it's all I know, Like I've been doing
Speaker 1: like real. When I say rapping at eight, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about like for my mom and shit. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about like I would get picked up from school, do
Speaker 1: my homework in the studio lobby, and then go record
Speaker 1: type shit like full blown open mics, talent shows like
Speaker 1: my daddy had me doing everything in Atlanta. And that's why,
Speaker 1: like every artist in Atlanta that seen me somewhere like
Speaker 1: I didn't did a show opened up for something with
Speaker 1: every artist in Atlanta. So that's why I get so
Speaker 1: much love and respect the seen you grow up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this ain't no microwave overnight. Like she put in her
Speaker 1: fucking work for this ship. So they respect you, do
Speaker 1: you because we always think of like when you're coming
Speaker 1: up as an artist, right, you have opportunities to open
Speaker 1: up for artists. Sometimes you got to pay to open up.
Speaker 1: Did you ever have to do that? My daddy for
Speaker 1: short and paid like two honey here, three honey here
Speaker 1: to like that just to get you. Do you remember
Speaker 1: the first show you opened for when you were young,
Speaker 1: where you were like, oh shit, I'm opening for this
Speaker 1: person mm or somebody random you opened up for somebody random.
Speaker 1: Let me think there's a lot of random rap concerts
Speaker 1: it is, but it's gonna be like the niggas. That's
Speaker 1: more like, oh, that makes sense. Like I didn't open
Speaker 1: up for Future. I didn't open up for Gucci way
Speaker 1: way before our song. Like, had you told me you
Speaker 1: opened up for Pete Poblo, I'd be like, h how
Speaker 1: was that show? And enough for Past de Troy for
Speaker 1: Travis Porter fire shout out to Travis Porter, Man, I
Speaker 1: wish they would have kept they had a wave. What
Speaker 1: We were just talking about that in the studio the
Speaker 1: other day because this nigga I'll be working with London Jay.
Speaker 1: He was like, man, you need to make a song
Speaker 1: for the college girls, and I was like, nigga, Travis
Speaker 1: Sporter had their ass on lock hell yeah do that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, shout out Travis Sporter. That's legendary a Linda ship.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't opened up for them and every everybody,
Speaker 1: even one hit wonders out of Atlantic. I didn't opened
Speaker 1: up for him, for sure. There's a lot of one
Speaker 1: hit wonders out in Atlanta. It is. Everybody is we've
Speaker 1: been running it, but everybody ain't had the loan chevy.
Speaker 1: Everyone like there's been guys who caught one. This one crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's like, where's the follow up? And by the way,
Speaker 1: I just want to use this interview to acknowledge the
Speaker 1: goat rich Homi Kwan, who I feel like. I feel
Speaker 1: like rich Onemi Kwan is like the most one of
Speaker 1: the more under underappreciated artist. Oh yeah, for sure, he
Speaker 1: is his wave. I was living in Tampa, Florida when
Speaker 1: rich On mc kuan was popping. Yeah, and nobody in
Speaker 1: the world was bigger than rich On Kwan for about
Speaker 1: twelve years. That motherfucker was on fire. I think I
Speaker 1: was in like middle school. I hope he catches one
Speaker 1: soon because he is very talented. He talented as hell.
Speaker 1: One thing about it, you ain't gonna play with that man. Pin.
Speaker 1: Y'all know, we got a lot of them, like underrated niggas,
Speaker 1: like rich kids, y'all probably don't know about them, but
Speaker 1: like schooly like we got a school is incredible man,
Speaker 1: talented as hell, Like talented as hell, like niggas who
Speaker 1: just never got their fucking props, like people be trying
Speaker 1: to play with them, Like school is still going in
Speaker 1: Atlanta don't give schooly a little legend. I don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. That's facts. His paining's crazy. What that man
Speaker 1: talented a fuck then he started all this shit. But
Speaker 1: you know this day, Well, did your dad put you
Speaker 1: on the outcast when you were younger? Hell? Yeah, my
Speaker 1: daddy loved fucking Andre. That's definitely gonna be probably, if
Speaker 1: not his number one, top three like to me, the
Speaker 1: top five greatest rapper of all times three stacks and
Speaker 1: he's from your city, so oh man, what but maybe
Speaker 1: a bit before your time, you know what? I want
Speaker 1: to say. My daddy was cool with so many people.
Speaker 1: I could be tripping up, like, but this is how
Speaker 1: I even started wrapping up my daddy in a little
Speaker 1: street nigga type shit. So we would be I'd be
Speaker 1: running around with him like at Dada House. At Dadada House,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I've been to Big Boy House when
Speaker 1: I was like a kid. I feel like that sounds
Speaker 1: right because I went to Atlanta one time, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I ended up in Stink on You, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I was taking pictures and ship I
Speaker 1: was there listening to kill you know. I met up
Speaker 1: a killer Mike there. But I was like, this is
Speaker 1: fucking legendary. Yeah. Oh yeah, I've been finishing up my
Speaker 1: well right now, I'm in La finishing it, but I
Speaker 1: was just in Atlanta finishing it in on you too.
Speaker 1: How was the album coming along? So good? So good,
Speaker 1: so good, just trying different ship, right, it really being done.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, but I'm a capricorn. I'm a perfectionist,
Speaker 1: so you know, putting finishing little tweaks. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: like i'd be like waiting for the Beyonce future. Yeah
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Wink wink. No. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: coming along real, real good. Though, Like do you feel
Speaker 1: like you know, you have like your core fan base
Speaker 1: that knows you for like the ship you've been doing
Speaker 1: the last five or six years, right, and then you
Speaker 1: catch this crossover banger like like Big Energy is, Like
Speaker 1: it's it's very much a smash, but it's also kind
Speaker 1: of like a little different, right from what you're like
Speaker 1: kind of used to doing, very different. Do you have
Speaker 1: any like are you kind of starting to try to
Speaker 1: lean into more like doing Yeah, I'm open, but you're
Speaker 1: more the pop ship yeah, hell yeah, because I want
Speaker 1: to be ship this ship give me some money, different money,
Speaker 1: so you know what, checks got bigger, checks got bigger.
Speaker 1: Price went up, Price went up, price went up. So
Speaker 1: hell yeah, we finished dippling dad up being that shit
Speaker 1: some more. I ain't mad at it, So you would
Speaker 1: just say I'm of a ninety nine percent nine. I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie to me, like if you ask my
Speaker 1: an rs and be like, bitch, shut up, it's done.
Speaker 1: But I think I would say probably, Like I say,
Speaker 1: probably ninety five because I really just want to like
Speaker 1: beat out maybe like two songs type shit, like if
Speaker 1: I like these songs, but if I can make like
Speaker 1: two songs better than these, I'll be straight. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you this. You're an amazing MC lyrically, You're gifted.
Speaker 1: I mean the Super Gramen freestyle was fire. The La
Speaker 1: Leaders freestyle was special. When it comes to crafting like
Speaker 1: big hit records, were you ever hesitant about like maybe
Speaker 1: having the label bringing someone to help you with a hook? Hell? What?
Speaker 1: Because you're like, what I do? My shit? What is
Speaker 1: that even something that's in bounds? Like? What would like?
Speaker 1: Because because I know you had and J who I
Speaker 1: was just talking about? He he adopte ass writer from Atlanta. Like,
Speaker 1: but my whole thing is even. Well start from the beginning,
Speaker 1: I was like, hell fuck no, y'all got me fucked up.
Speaker 1: Y'all trying to turn me into this industry bitch. But
Speaker 1: then you like, yeah, I write my shit. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: you like, man, hell no, but you mature and you
Speaker 1: see the bigger picture. You're like, Okay, you know what,
Speaker 1: this does make sense whatever, And this is these people life.
Speaker 1: You know. They feed their kids off of this shit.
Speaker 1: They ain't feed it just off of me. So I
Speaker 1: start learning like, oh, everybody do that. That's how y'all
Speaker 1: need to be dropping fucking ten number ones in one year.
Speaker 1: Oh So I'm like, okay, I do it. But it's
Speaker 1: never gonna be no situation where you just bring me
Speaker 1: some like a song like some ghost writer. Ass right,
Speaker 1: we gonna work together and we collaborate exactly so where
Speaker 1: I still have my authenticity to my song, know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not gonna just say what you tell
Speaker 1: me to say. Hell fuck yeah. I think like a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize, like when you get to
Speaker 1: a certain point, like it's a lot of collaborative efforts
Speaker 1: in the studio that are very organic it's not like
Speaker 1: you said. It's not like someone sends you a song
Speaker 1: and say, yo, just record this no like And I
Speaker 1: think a lot of times too, when you say writer,
Speaker 1: people think that's what it is, and that's not always
Speaker 1: what it is. Like Nigga, I did that might be
Speaker 1: a melody, right, Yeah? I did a session with Pharrell
Speaker 1: and he's like giving me like I'm in a booth
Speaker 1: and he like to say this, say this like it
Speaker 1: don't always mean like I'm finna write it, and you
Speaker 1: say it like, it's not always that like ABC maybe
Speaker 1: even help like how you say it, like yeah, o god.
Speaker 1: Like then I started learning about what is that called?
Speaker 1: They just tell me vocal whatever the hell it's a
Speaker 1: name for that Perton you were in the studio for.
Speaker 1: How was that crazy? What's in Miami? Yeah, he fucking don't.
Speaker 1: He fucking don't, but he doesn't and he cool. It's hell.
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, when they told me he wanted to
Speaker 1: work with me, I'm like, nigga, you're talking about Pharrell.
Speaker 1: It was like, yes, I'm thinking it's it's some new
Speaker 1: producer to call himself for real, some shit that's already
Speaker 1: for real shit. But it was fucking for real. I'm like,
Speaker 1: why he want to work with me? Chum? What it's like?
Speaker 1: Like when? Because Pharrell's is one of the goats, right
Speaker 1: and we always hear about so intimidated. Yeah, he plays it.
Speaker 1: He's just going through beats and you're like, I like
Speaker 1: this one? He like which one you like? And you
Speaker 1: just like, nigga, anyone to fuck give me your throwaway.
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I'm gonna make this shit work.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be anything he does. You see, have any
Speaker 1: work on the project? I think so? So Pharrell was
Speaker 1: on the album? I think so Yeah. I know some
Speaker 1: people who have been with him recently and he's been
Speaker 1: lending some vocals to them. Is he did he lend
Speaker 1: you some vocals on the record on the bridge? Maybe?
Speaker 1: Like we did like five songs one that I'm choose,
Speaker 1: we still like we'nin five percent, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But the one that I'm pretty sure I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: on there that he's not on it. But there was
Speaker 1: ones that you guys cut that he was on. That's
Speaker 1: fire blest. What the hell like that sound crazy for
Speaker 1: me to to be saying right now, like what, yeah,
Speaker 1: what was there a can you tell us any other
Speaker 1: producers maybe that have made the cut. I know you're
Speaker 1: not going to give me any features, so I'm not
Speaker 1: even gonna ask, but producers, maybe let's just say like
Speaker 1: I made it a point to, like, you know, how
Speaker 1: people be like focused on the features on the album.
Speaker 1: I made it a point to be like focused on
Speaker 1: the producers on Abduction. I want you to be like
Speaker 1: when you read my track list, you're like, oh, the features,
Speaker 1: and then you read the fucking track list and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: the producers. You know what I'm saying. Not on some
Speaker 1: like just do whatever it's tip. I want you to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, this beach did her research. This beach, Oh,
Speaker 1: she and she from Atlanta. She using these niggs. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You don't see the thought process
Speaker 1: in a production. There was this discussion and I'm asking
Speaker 1: you this cause obviously for people who don't know your history,
Speaker 1: you kind of came up. You and Jermaine de pre
Speaker 1: will always kind of be related in some aspect, right,
Speaker 1: always JD versus Diddy in a versus. So they was like,
Speaker 1: I can't no, it's never gonna It's never gonna happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but wasn't they on Live Like yes, But I was
Speaker 1: very much in the camp that JD could upset Diddy.
Speaker 1: Low key, I'm not saying it would happen. I can't
Speaker 1: even say nothing about it. It would be very Uh.
Speaker 1: I just feel like Daman, some people got to put
Speaker 1: some respect on JD's name because they forget Yeah, just
Speaker 1: go listen to Confessions. My gee, Oh that's it. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's like you don't got to say it at the
Speaker 1: Confessions And yeah, there's so much other you know, what
Speaker 1: made so obviously you say you signed in twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: into twenty nineteen, What made you finally make that decision
Speaker 1: like to sign, because I'm sure everyone was trying to
Speaker 1: get at you for a very long time. You're building
Speaker 1: up and running it up Indian in Atlanta? What was
Speaker 1: people don't even be knowing? Like I did Bitch from
Speaker 1: the South Independent, I did Bitch from the South Remix Independent.
Speaker 1: I already had putting them shits out Independent, so it's
Speaker 1: like I had everybody at my door. I think I
Speaker 1: just came to a point where it was like I
Speaker 1: feel like I've maxed the Independent route, Like I feel
Speaker 1: like my potential is bigger than this. I need a
Speaker 1: team and departments in this machine behind me working twenty
Speaker 1: four seven. Yeah, for sure. Someone to brush your hair
Speaker 1: before an interview, you know, shit like that. Just shit's
Speaker 1: like and then like just different people working for you
Speaker 1: and working with you is like that, just open your
Speaker 1: mind to different stuff. Like I know, I probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: have tried a big energy two years ago, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So just like just people just inspiring
Speaker 1: you like, and just the roster on the label, like
Speaker 1: I looked at it as inspiration and just like leveling up. Yo.

Speaker 1: as it is right, not too long ago. I feel
Speaker 1: like when I was a kid and when your dad
Speaker 1: was Obviously me and your dad are probably closer in
Speaker 1: age than you and I, but you know, there was
Speaker 1: like Missy Elliott, there was the Brat, there was Little Kim,
Speaker 1: there was like a cool female Foxy Brown. But then
Speaker 1: there was like an era after that where it was
Speaker 1: really just NICKI and let's put some respect on Trina
Speaker 1: as well, because Trina is there. I know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, but like it felt, it felt, it felt
Speaker 1: like up until a couple of years ago that like,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, hip hop only had room for one
Speaker 1: pop and female at a time, And now I feel
Speaker 1: like we're in the greatest era of female artists in
Speaker 1: hip hop, where it's you, it's May, and it's Cash Doll,
Speaker 1: it's Nikki, it's city girls. I mean, sweetie, we could
Speaker 1: just keep going down, right, Cardi B. How is it
Speaker 1: do you feel like it's still like like harder to
Speaker 1: be a female MC in today's climate, Because I do
Speaker 1: feel like there is always like people are gonna judge
Speaker 1: you harder for whatever reason. It might not be fair,
Speaker 1: but they're always gonna judge you harder. It's hard to
Speaker 1: talk about that because it's like, yeah, it'll always be harder,
Speaker 1: but you don't want to like take for granted the
Speaker 1: progress that we have made, because for sure, you know,
Speaker 1: we got it a lot easier then I'm sure Kim
Speaker 1: and them, did you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the progress, but it is still always harder,
Speaker 1: Like when we do these awards show performances, and we
Speaker 1: do it and then fucking little whoever young whoever do
Speaker 1: it the same stage. Y'all ain't picking apart his performances.
Speaker 1: I ain't telling this nigga he need to put his
Speaker 1: lean cup down and run on the trademill, but y'all
Speaker 1: gonna be like she's shopping too much. She needs to
Speaker 1: be an artist development. Wait, like there's like you could
Speaker 1: be the biggest rapper in the world and have a
Speaker 1: lean gut and be sloppy as fucking late to everything
Speaker 1: and perform like shit and no one's gonna say anything
Speaker 1: if you're a female and you put it together an
Speaker 1: amazing performance. But like you fuck up once or it
Speaker 1: just feels like every single thing it's under the microscope,
Speaker 1: like let us do something, But niggas do the ship
Speaker 1: all day, y'all. Don't be trying to cancel the ass
Speaker 1: or pick a part day performance ship. So, yeah, we
Speaker 1: do got it harder, but in the same sentence for
Speaker 1: where we've come, because you've kind of been on the
Speaker 1: come up throughout that whole era. Yeah so I didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, Like I seen like it's easy to
Speaker 1: catch one now like you can't. But that's male and
Speaker 1: female though it's easy to catch one. But yeah, TikTok's
Speaker 1: got everyone some of the shit on TikTok. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what is going on? Kids getting record deals and disappearing? God,
Speaker 1: what happened to the board in the house. Guy niggas
Speaker 1: gett what a little million dollar deals you never heard
Speaker 1: never hear from them a couple of months later. But
Speaker 1: that's that's also tricky too, because you can like get
Speaker 1: excited about it like that and chase that like the
Speaker 1: TikTok wave and shit like that. But that ship not longevity.
Speaker 1: It's good records in real time. I feel like we
Speaker 1: think about who's been around forever. It's the the cream
Speaker 1: of the crop is always around, talent the fucking long route.
Speaker 1: Think about like the Mount wes Moore rap it's always
Speaker 1: been the last ten years. Is Cole's Kendrick and it's
Speaker 1: Drake and all three of them are murderers on the microphone,
Speaker 1: think about, well, you know, Megan is an amazing MC.
Speaker 1: I feel like I think Megan isn't with Megan pen Now,
Speaker 1: Oh she's nice? What? Yeah, she's nice? What that bitch delivery?
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. She wanted them? Who inspires you
Speaker 1: to get better as an MC? Not not even just females,
Speaker 1: just in general, like something like maybe someone you've heard recently.
Speaker 1: We're like, damn, that motherfucker's nice, Like I got I
Speaker 1: gotta get on my ship. Shed these bitches like we
Speaker 1: gotta be with you, like you're not Finna had No
Speaker 1: turned up whack ass female rapper, Like if she turned up,
Speaker 1: that bitch talented because we so fucking analyzed Thojah Thojah
Speaker 1: killing shit. That bitch can rap sing pop ship performed.
Speaker 1: She she her perform I feel like her performing is
Speaker 1: like the I think she's the best performer I've seen
Speaker 1: in a long time. Fucking Chloe, what about just money?
Speaker 1: You don't have to be females? Like what has it
Speaker 1: been anybody else? Like that just is just like inspired
Speaker 1: your panel little where you're like damn, Like I just
Speaker 1: heard this dude go in on this record and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I need to get my ship together or I fuck
Speaker 1: with Rod Wave. I feel like he made me want
Speaker 1: to be on some like authentic shit like yeah, talk
Speaker 1: about my life and shit like some shit that people
Speaker 1: feel because his music give me that like it's not
Speaker 1: going nowhere, like this ship be there forever. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: he got some ship that I'm gonna play for my
Speaker 1: kids and be like, hey, you don't know nothing about it.

Speaker 1: I fuck with Rod Wave. I don't know. I'll be
Speaker 1: paying more attention to the females because that's my that's
Speaker 1: my line. I get it. You're getting ready for a
Speaker 1: big tour. Yeah, what should be fun? Yeah, this would
Speaker 1: be my first headline tour, first headlining tour. Uh. What's on?
Speaker 1: Lotto's writer child? Pineapples, Hallopenyo, kettle chips, core water, a
Speaker 1: veggie tray and I and I had to take my
Speaker 1: manager too, and I told him I needed to update
Speaker 1: it before to two because I need to add strawberry
Speaker 1: pop tarts on their two strawberry pop tarts. I feel like,
Speaker 1: if you're eating any other kind of pop tart, I
Speaker 1: judge you. You ever go to the store with somebody
Speaker 1: and they grabbed the pop tarts with no frosty, Like, who,

Speaker 1: this can't be no bullshit, Like too many odds gonna
Speaker 1: be on me with this tour, like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's a little pressure, But you know,

Speaker 1: Yeah you know that hookahs fa the hoop. I forgot
Speaker 1: about that song. I swear to god, I said that too,

Speaker 1: was in like middle school maybe, so I wasn't even
Speaker 1: if I was singing the ship, I didn't know what
Speaker 1: he was saying. Anyways, What is it? Rather just I
Speaker 1: always listen. I never understood the hookah thing because my
Speaker 1: thing is if I'm a smoke I'd rather just get high. No,
Speaker 1: because it's like, we don't want to be paranoid and ship.
Speaker 1: We ain't trying to be tripping. We just want something
Speaker 1: to dude. When you smoked, you get paranoid weed. Hell yeah, hookah,
Speaker 1: No you don't feel you know what I'm saying. When
Speaker 1: you smoke weed, you get paranoid Hell yeah, wow, I don't.
Speaker 1: And and then I just don't like the action of
Speaker 1: smoking like it, just like i'd be confident, like how
Speaker 1: the fun do y'all do? I don't like that. I
Speaker 1: think a bug on me. Every two seconds, I'm jumping
Speaker 1: like the door like you might have had angel dust. No, no,
Speaker 1: every time I hit the blind, I'd be like that.
Speaker 1: You know what, though, I started doing like little, like
Speaker 1: if I'm in La, not just like doing like little,
