Speaker 14: girl eats and then you know, you got the glam shop.
Speaker 14: We about to reopen a glam shop on Peter Street.
Speaker 14: So we've been in Peter Street, West End for about
Speaker 14: what sixteen years seventeen, yeah, almost twenty years since I
Speaker 14: was sixteen years old. So we finally about to make
Speaker 14: them into Salon Sweet, so it would be ghetto girl

Speaker 13: Cream, and then we got Mustagon.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you literally don't feel nothing.
Speaker 14: But it's it's kind of crazy because I went viral
Speaker 14: in the hospital and everybody square it was the numb
Speaker 14: and cream And it.
Speaker 13: Was because of how big I got my tattoo.
Speaker 14: I just want to Yeah, it wasn't though, it wasn't
Speaker 14: Mausnon that's my other company.
Speaker 10: It wasn't Mausnon.
Speaker 13: It was how big I got the tattoo.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, ask you something.
Speaker 11: What's the biggest obstacle of being just being a female boss?
Speaker 1: Like heleny your business?
Speaker 3: What's the biggest obstacle?
Speaker 13: I would say the obstacle Like it's just what I
Speaker 13: don't like.
Speaker 14: I don't think it's really like obstacles. What I don't
Speaker 14: like is how much we don't support each other. Yeah,
Speaker 14: that's I hate.
Speaker 13: How girls don't really support each other.
Speaker 14: It's so lame to me because like I'm r I'm
Speaker 14: really from Inleanta, born and raised and growing up like
Speaker 14: we always like we are being so bortshit. But we
Speaker 14: always for the most part, stuff together, you know. And
Speaker 14: I when I see become as I became successful, and
Speaker 14: I see how like the industry holds.
Speaker 13: So much negativity, it's kind of weird.
Speaker 10: No, it really is.
Speaker 9: I think my biggest obstacle is trying to live up
Speaker 9: to the super woman role that everybody places on us,
Speaker 9: because like, as women, we gotta do everything for real,
Speaker 9: and if we don't do everything right, we get ridiculed,
Speaker 9: and it's by each other.
Speaker 10: So you know, there's that.
Speaker 7: I would you say, y'all have a ball because we
Speaker 7: see y'all come up. You see y'all just grow as
Speaker 7: black women. But how would you say? It's some positive
Speaker 7: ways y'all have evolved.
Speaker 9: I think just being able to use our platforms to
Speaker 9: kind of like create multiple businesses and inspire other women
Speaker 9: to you know, just be business women and entrepreneurs.
Speaker 7: But I mean on a personal level too, Cuz yeah,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, Like personally, like you know,
Speaker 7: I know you so like, yeah, bam ain't got let
Speaker 7: nobody play with her on social media or period or
Speaker 7: whatever the case is.
Speaker 3: But have y'all evolved to the point being so crazy? Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, you know what, that's a good one because
Speaker 9: for me, I went through like a crazy situation last year,
Speaker 9: like a divorce, and it was very public, and I
Speaker 9: had to learn to be quiet, keep my mouth closed
Speaker 9: because there's certain people out there that's committed to disagreeing
Speaker 9: with you. No matter what you say, they gonna find
Speaker 9: a way to disagree. So for me, I was just like,
Speaker 9: I don't care what people think. I'm gonna be quiet
Speaker 9: and just live my life. And the people who know me,
Speaker 9: they know what's up. So and I'm glad you just
Speaker 9: mentioned that.
Speaker 14: You know me, I would say like evolving people see
Speaker 14: me go through my divorced but I just feel like
Speaker 14: my baby daddy shouts out the good shooter. He's such
Speaker 14: a real person. Like I really ain't deal with like
Speaker 14: a lot divorcing him because he just really like he
Speaker 14: just real.
Speaker 10: Like I learned a life.
Speaker 14: Yeah, like I really learned a lot from him, you
Speaker 14: know what I'm saying. He really installed and poured a
Speaker 14: lot to me. Like my baby Daddy took his gambling
Speaker 14: house and made it my shop. Like the first ground
Speaker 14: Shop was was his one of his gambling houses in
Speaker 14: Oakland City. So I don't really got nothing bad stuff
Speaker 14: about my baby daddy. You know what I'm saying, He
Speaker 14: a good We didn't. We didn't you know, eleven year different,
Speaker 14: We didn't. We both grew like I became I was
Speaker 14: a teenager, you know what I'm saying, I became a
Speaker 14: woman and things started being a little different. But I
Speaker 14: would never forget the things that he instilled in me
Speaker 14: because it made me the woman I am today. So yeah,
Speaker 14: like I just feel like and shout out to my
Speaker 14: husband to process yes, because I just feel like I
Speaker 14: went from a hands from one good person to another
Speaker 14: good person.
Speaker 13: So God just really got favor over my life and
Speaker 13: he really, you.
Speaker 14: Know what I'm saying, He's very just careful about who
Speaker 14: he put me in the hands of. So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, what would you tell
Speaker 1: your younger self?
Speaker 9: I would tell my younger self to be more persistent
Speaker 9: and consistent. I would just about to say that, yes,
Speaker 9: And it's just like, you know, close out the world
Speaker 9: everybody that say no, you can't, don't stop.
Speaker 10: Just shut all that out and just have tunnel vision.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 11: So oh, you're you're gonna say about the same You're
Speaker 11: about to say the same thing.
Speaker 13: Yeah, stay consistent for real and don't take no for
Speaker 13: an answer.
Speaker 10: Stand on it.
Speaker 14: You're gonna get a million ods, but that one yes
Speaker 14: is gonna change your whole entire life.
Speaker 10: And I'm a living witness.
Speaker 1: Big old facts period.

Speaker 7: Else Backwards backstage live for one music Fast. You know
Speaker 7: what it is, Big Bank, Baby j d J Screen.
Speaker 7: We are team Big Fast. Welcome and a family member backstage.
Speaker 3: His name is.
Speaker 9: Big Lloyd Man.
Speaker 4: Bank is an honor sit down with you. You a legend.
Speaker 17: You always giving me love and light whenever you see me,
Speaker 17: my dog, my first mixtape ever.
Speaker 4: I love you forever.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 17: It's great to be here. Yeah, it's great to be here.
Speaker 17: I've been watching y'all do y'all thing for quite some time.
Speaker 7: You reached out to me starting to ask why Lord
Speaker 7: won't coach'll y'all gotta ask Lloyd Man, I.
Speaker 17: I feel, I feel, I actually feel more comfortable out
Speaker 17: there than right here. And then sometimes and then sometimes
Speaker 17: you know, my mom would always say, if you don't
Speaker 17: got nothing to say, man, it's a to just be
Speaker 17: quiet for a little while. I mean, I do when
Speaker 17: I don't sometimes, you know what I mean. I mean,
Speaker 17: I think it's so many brilliant minds that come on
Speaker 17: the show. Sometimes I feel like they say everything that
Speaker 17: it is to be said, you know. So I'm not necessary,
Speaker 17: But today I thank God put us together, and I'm
Speaker 17: just thankful.
Speaker 4: Man, it's good to be here with you.
Speaker 3: Definitely. So what you've been primarily working on, you know,
Speaker 3: you always record it.
Speaker 4: Actually, big My biggest job is being a dad man.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 17: I lost my dad when I was a year a
Speaker 17: year and a half in the Calio projects in New Orleans,
Speaker 17: and all my life I dreamed about what that would
Speaker 17: be like to have a connection to my father. A
Speaker 17: lot of times I feel like I had to learn
Speaker 17: things the hard way because I didn't have my father.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm thankful for it. I wouldn't change it
Speaker 4: for the world. But it's just such a sacred job
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 17: And so I guess when you go without it, man,
Speaker 17: you just put a lot of value on it. And
Speaker 17: so now that I've become one, I don't play with it.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: I spend as much.
Speaker 17: I spent as much time it's humanly possible with those kids, man, because.
Speaker 4: You know, life is short, bro, and I want them
Speaker 4: to have.
Speaker 17: At least I want them to have if something was
Speaker 17: to happen tomorrow. I want them to have a great
Speaker 17: memory of their dad. So I spent a lot of
Speaker 17: time with them, take them on the road, We travel
Speaker 17: the world. We just came back from Trinidad and Tobago
Speaker 17: for the first time. I took them to meet their
Speaker 17: great grandparents. I take them to the studio with me.
Speaker 17: I recorded them.
Speaker 4: Doing some backgrounds the other day, and we just have fun.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 17: We just really been blessed enough to be able to
Speaker 17: live and then come back to the music when we're ready.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 12: Shit, So I know, like another one of your really
Speaker 12: big things is so during during your journey of like
Speaker 12: dealing in processing with everything that you have to deal
Speaker 12: with about not having your dad present and making sure
Speaker 12: that you replace that presence with your kids. What advice
Speaker 12: would you give to some of the guys out there
Speaker 12: that are president in their kids lives but they feel
Speaker 12: like they're not adequate enough because they might not have
Speaker 12: as much money, or they might not have the relationship
Speaker 12: with the mother or whatever it is.
Speaker 3: That they have going on.
Speaker 17: Well, one of my biggest motto is something that I
Speaker 17: subscribe to every day, whether it's in relationships or life
Speaker 17: in general, is I focus on the things I can
Speaker 17: control and I let go of all the things I cannot.
Speaker 17: And you'd be surprised how much you actually do have
Speaker 17: control over, even though it might feel like you don't.
Speaker 17: So I just think that the most important currency in
Speaker 17: life is time, Yeah, because that's the thing we spend
Speaker 17: and we don't get it back.
Speaker 4: So I think just.
Speaker 17: Being present, taking time, spending time, giving time, you know,
Speaker 17: that's that's like the greatest form of showing love to
Speaker 17: a person other than just the words.
Speaker 12: And I feel like now as you say that, honestly,
Speaker 12: I feel like even outside of like parenting, in fatherhood
Speaker 12: or motherhood or whatever, you can apply that to every aspect.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 17: And I also think it's important that your children see
Speaker 17: you living a purpose driven life. Yes, you know, it's
Speaker 17: like that's the way to lead by example. So they
Speaker 17: see Dad get up and go get it every day.
Speaker 17: They see Dad pour as hard and soul into something.
Speaker 17: They see Dad come out in front of a bunch
Speaker 17: of people and go crazy leave it out there.
Speaker 4: So it inspired him, whether you know it or not.
Speaker 17: And I think regardless of what other kind of noise
Speaker 17: is going on in the child's life, they a lot
Speaker 17: more intelligent than we give them credit for, and they
Speaker 17: pay attention to a lot of stuff.
Speaker 11: So I'll always ask this question since since we around dustry, like,
Speaker 11: what do you think it takes?
Speaker 1: Like what does it take to brinan beale artists?
Speaker 17: It take a mental amount of belief, almost to the
Speaker 17: point where you kind of crazy, because you know, when
Speaker 17: you have a vision, A lot of times in the beginning,
Speaker 17: a vision is singular.
Speaker 4: No one else see it but you, so you kind
Speaker 4: of got to be the only.
Speaker 17: One in the room that's on your own wave in
Speaker 17: a sense, and that's okay. I think you can't be
Speaker 17: afraid to look bad or make a mistake in front
Speaker 17: of people.
Speaker 4: A lot of times we so prideful we.
Speaker 17: Won't even jump because we don't want to look crazy,
Speaker 17: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So that's a part of it. And also I think having.
Speaker 17: A moral compass a spiritual guy, you know what I mean,
Speaker 17: whether that be in the form of a person or
Speaker 17: a hobby or something that you could tap into that's
Speaker 17: bigger than the physical realm.
Speaker 4: Because a lot of this is spiritual.
Speaker 17: It's like you can't even describe or explain how scream
Speaker 17: do what he do. When he, like I said, screamed
Speaker 17: some music, he sent it back, I'm like, how do
Speaker 17: you do that?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 17: It's kind of bigger than us. It's kind of God
Speaker 17: working through us. So you gotta really embrace that concept.
Speaker 17: And man, I just think being accountable for your actions,
Speaker 17: your thoughts, your intentions, your words, how you treat people.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
Speaker 17: You gotta you gotta stand on your word, You gotta
Speaker 17: be on time, You gotta really care, you gotta care,
Speaker 17: You gotta care.
Speaker 1: What some of your biggest obstacles that hurdles.
Speaker 17: Like myself just getting in my own way sometimes sometimes
Speaker 17: overthinking things, sometimes not trusting the process. Sometimes, you know,
Speaker 17: just being human man, just being a flesh and just
Speaker 17: you know what I mean, I'm a man, but I
Speaker 17: could be sensitive sometimes, you know, let stuff hurt my
Speaker 17: feelings or.
Speaker 4: Just take me out of my game.
Speaker 17: You know.
Speaker 4: But I think.
Speaker 17: That's the biggest obstacle to all of us as ourselves,
Speaker 17: because only really we can stop us.
Speaker 1: What reason y'all think God gave us emotions?
Speaker 7: Why you'll have a thought about that to balance us out.
Speaker 10: I think God gave.
Speaker 12: Us emotions to make everybody individual, because if we didn't
Speaker 12: have emotions, then.
Speaker 10: We'd all be the same.
Speaker 17: Basically, I think emotions is what really make us alive
Speaker 17: and let us know we're feeling something, even if it's pain.
Speaker 17: Sometimes the pain remind you that you're alive, you know
Speaker 17: what I mean.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you just walk.
Speaker 17: That's why I like tattoos so much, because I come
Speaker 17: out of the experience feeling like, damn, I'm alive.
Speaker 4: Man, Like I just went. I just took.
Speaker 17: Myself to a place that I didn't know if I
Speaker 17: was gonna make it out, and here I am.
Speaker 4: I'm still here, all right.
Speaker 7: Some of the super ogs in the R and B
Speaker 7: game looked at Lloyd and said, man, Lloyd makes me proud.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. He's carrying the torch. So
Speaker 7: now that you're a og slash super og in the games,
Speaker 7: who are some of the young boys that make you.
Speaker 3: Proud in the heart.
Speaker 17: Somebody called me the other day, man, I almost kicked them,
Speaker 17: kicked them in there as man, I ain't nobody an man.
Speaker 4: I'm still want the homies.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 17: Man, I did a show at Southern University. Girl was
Speaker 17: feeling she said, mister Lloyd.
Speaker 2: I said, no, mister.
Speaker 4: Lloyd, I ain't that old.
Speaker 17: But you know that the beautiful thing about about loss
Speaker 17: in my life, which was at the law after I
Speaker 17: lost my dad, and I draw I draw back to
Speaker 17: that a lot of times. My mom was like, this,
Speaker 17: ain't it We leave in New Orleans. She moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 17: She was the first in our family come to Atlanta.
Speaker 17: And that pretty much just saved my life, man. I mean,
Speaker 17: for real, it put me in a great environment of
Speaker 17: people who I could kind of tap into, I could
Speaker 17: I could draw from, I could learn from real early
Speaker 17: and I'm just really more thankful for, like I'm not
Speaker 17: ashamed to say I got ogs man like people that really.
Speaker 4: Gave me time and love.
Speaker 17: And whether that be in business, whether that be in
Speaker 17: the streets, whether that be just whatever, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
Speaker 17: But Atlanta is like, to me, you can find a
Speaker 17: lot of great OG's in Atlanta, man. And so I
Speaker 17: guess people come up to me, they say that to me,
Speaker 17: Jacquez always calling.
Speaker 4: Me o g It's love. I know it's love, but
Speaker 4: it feel weird.
Speaker 2: It's still weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's embracing.
Speaker 17: It is embracing, and it just let me know I
Speaker 17: meant something to to them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I inspired them.
Speaker 17: And and that's the three levels of life. Man is
Speaker 17: the student, the master, and then you got to pass
Speaker 17: on the information. So if I inspire one person that
Speaker 17: I did, I did more than another. What's nick I'm
Speaker 17: working on the double album. I never told nobody about it.
Speaker 17: It's dedicated to my family. It's called Rivers and Oceans.
Speaker 17: My son name is River, my daughter name is Ocean.
Speaker 17: The the album Ocean is like a love letter to
Speaker 17: her mom, me kind of showing her how to be
Speaker 17: loved through how I love her mom, you know what
Speaker 17: I mean. And she's got her own little skits and
Speaker 17: interludes on there. And then Rivers is me and my
Speaker 17: son having a conversation about what it means to be
Speaker 17: black in America and kind of preparing him for manhood.
Speaker 4: And I'm really proud of it. I produced it.
Speaker 17: I recorded a symphony orchestra in New York a few
Speaker 17: weeks ago with a black conductor named Iggy. I recorded
Speaker 17: an Atlantic kids choir.
Speaker 4: On one of the.
Speaker 17: Tracks playing the instruments. So I'm proud of that I
Speaker 17: think I'm gonna drop it first quarter.
Speaker 7: You still you're still fully vegan, vegan vegan?
Speaker 17: Nah, I start having dreams. I had a dream. I
Speaker 17: was at a rock concert. I was in the crowd
Speaker 17: and I was doing this and I look on the
Speaker 17: stage and the whole band was chicken wings.
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I gotta.
Speaker 3: Give me some damn American deli.
Speaker 17: Man, Man, I don't win in order every flavor American
Speaker 17: deai Man. I was so sick, bro, I was so sick, man.
Speaker 17: But yeah, fuck me up, to fucked me up. But
Speaker 17: I think it's really about balance. It ain't so much
Speaker 17: about extremity, you know. And the vegan thing was me
Speaker 17: just trying to try myself, trying to say, dang, can
Speaker 17: you even do that? You love food so much, you
Speaker 17: grew up in a house that smelled like bacon and butter,
Speaker 17: and can you do? Can you really withstain? It's like
Speaker 17: a self discipline. It was almost like Ramadan for me.
Speaker 17: So that's how it started off as a fast, which
Speaker 17: I was inspired by my Muslim brothers. So yeah, I
Speaker 17: still I still implement it. I like that chicken man.
Speaker 3: Got your own regimen for work.
Speaker 4: For that's a fact.
Speaker 16: Hard.
Speaker 4: It's hard. It can be hard.
Speaker 1: He before we get out of here, Man, get it.
Speaker 1: Just give your nephews some of that game. Man, what
Speaker 1: you tell a younger youth.
Speaker 17: Okay, this is music. Music is the source. It is
Speaker 17: the most inspiring thing in the world. Is you can
Speaker 17: go anywhere in the world do music and you can
Speaker 17: connect with somebody.
Speaker 4: But this is also the music business.
Speaker 17: And the main thing is when you decide that this
Speaker 17: is what you want to do, you need to really
Speaker 17: give yourself time to learn the game as much as
Speaker 17: possible so that people can't tell you what you don't know,
Speaker 17: because ignorance is the number one thing that make people
Speaker 17: rich in this game. It's a game of pirates and
Speaker 17: thieves and it's built like that. And the quicker, you
Speaker 17: understand that, the quicker, you can identify with what your
Speaker 17: strengths and weaknesses are, and you can kind of go
Speaker 17: into a meeting self assured, so nobody can tell you
Speaker 17: about yourself.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. And if they're not talking
Speaker 4: what you want to hear, it's okay.
Speaker 17: To say no, you know what I mean, because sometimes
Speaker 17: it takes a little longer to get to your destination.
Speaker 4: But you know, slow motion is better than no motion
Speaker 4: and no struggle, no progress.
Speaker 17: So the first thing I did was I grabbed Donald
Speaker 17: Passmans everything you need to know about the music business
Speaker 17: when I was like fifteen years old, and I learned
Speaker 17: about royalties, mechanical royalties, splits, budgets, writing things off. Sometimes
Speaker 17: people put things on your budget. Don't got nothing to
Speaker 17: do with you. They put their cell phone bill on
Speaker 17: your budget. You don't even know why you're shit so hot.
Speaker 17: But if you're not paying attention, that's really like the
Speaker 17: number one killer. And if you don't know, yeah, ignorance
Speaker 17: is not bliss, you know what I mean. So I
Speaker 17: just say, not only hone your craft, but also hone
Speaker 17: your mind, you know what I mean, and just kind
Speaker 17: of prepare yourself because this shit'll take your spirit from
Speaker 17: you if you let it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 17: And I've seen it happen to a lot of great people.
Speaker 17: So that's one thing. But also, it ain't about where
Speaker 17: you at, It's about who you win. So don't value
Speaker 17: what's going on across the street. Don't look at somebody
Speaker 17: with a name or because they shining that that's your
Speaker 17: that's your access. Like it's got to start from inside
Speaker 17: and work its way out, and a lot of times
Speaker 17: you got to tap into the resources God put in
Speaker 17: your circumference.
Speaker 10: You know what I mean.
Speaker 17: I always love stories about people that be with each
Speaker 17: other from the from day one. You see me, I'm
Speaker 17: still with Ryan. Everybody know me and Ryan. We're gonna
Speaker 17: be like that forever, you know. So I like to
Speaker 17: see people pretty much like value the relationships that they
Speaker 17: have because relationships is currency. People are currency, and time
Speaker 17: is currency.
Speaker 4: Hey man, I need my boat. Time man, y'all got
Speaker 4: me feeling like I'm wrong one. Yeah, that would be great.
Speaker 17: I was trying to wait for that, but y'all being here,
Speaker 17: me being here, just had to come say with something.
Speaker 4: They tell you, thank you, I love you.
Speaker 3: Always salute my brother. What shure big thought for its backstage?
Speaker 7: Say that from you, say that what was gona me
Speaker 7: was the on stage what is.
Speaker 3: On the streets exactly.
Speaker 1: It's a big fact, No.
