Speaker 3: and especially in this business, and as long as you
Speaker 3: guys have been a part of this business. You're you're
Speaker 3: one of the main brothers that gets mentioned because of
Speaker 3: your humility, you know what I mean, how loyal you

Speaker 3: like it don't have to be a conversation. It's like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, marian A, right right, And most people think
Speaker 3: you're the same person.
Speaker 2: Today. Still to this day, it doesn't bother me, you
Speaker 2: know you guys, just just in case you're wondering, because
Speaker 2: a lot of people, you know, I have a conversation,
Speaker 2: they'd be like, oh, wait a minute, I thought I
Speaker 2: was talking to Oh oh oh yeah. It's like, okay,
Speaker 2: it's all it's all good, it's all up. Yeah. Have
Speaker 2: you had like coming up though? Did you have those?

Speaker 3: like me and my brother are a little further in
Speaker 3: age five years apart.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you can tell that we're not the same person.
Speaker 3: You see you see us and you're like them niggas
Speaker 3: is definitely brothers and wait is that? But you can
Speaker 3: you can see subtle things with you and O Marion,
Speaker 3: y'are so close in age, and I feel like y'all

Speaker 2: think it's cool to have somebody like a brother in
Speaker 2: the business stuff, you know, who's two years older than me,
Speaker 2: which is it's pretty close enough to learn and also
Speaker 2: be a part of. So I was a part of
Speaker 2: a lot of things because of the leaps and bounds
Speaker 2: he decided to take.
Speaker 4: Yo.
Speaker 3: I love it, man, No, y'all've taken the journey together. Indeed, indeed,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And that's that's to be
Speaker 3: honored and appreciated. Man, Because this business, the first thing
Speaker 3: they try to break up is the family.
Speaker 2: Tell me about it, bro.
Speaker 3: You know, so seeing that meeting your mother when I
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, I've known y'all at
Speaker 3: this point, Bro, I've known y'all twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, like.
Speaker 3: Stuff easily, Bro, I just remember being like, Yo, this
Speaker 3: is really dope that they move as this unit.
Speaker 2: Shout our mom, shout out nana. Man. You know, that's
Speaker 2: that's how we came up. Real real tribal, real community
Speaker 2: like and like you know, growing up, my mom made
Speaker 2: sure me and Bro was close, like I was wherever
Speaker 2: he wanted to go. It's like, all, can you can
Speaker 2: you Bro go with you? Because he can't go that
Speaker 2: I'm gonna think about it. Yeah, So you know, having
Speaker 2: that upbringing, man just just allow me so many opportunities
Speaker 2: like crazy. So let's take it back to Inglewood. Let's
Speaker 2: take it back to the wood.
Speaker 3: Come on, man, high parking market. Yeah, let's let's just
Speaker 3: take it back. So coming up, obviously it wasn't like
Speaker 3: you guys were born in it. Y'all had to really
Speaker 3: jump into the industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, no family members that, No no singers in
Speaker 2: the fam, no musicians in the fam. Yeah. My my
Speaker 2: mom my my family. Hair. Hair was the family thing,
Speaker 2: you know, styling hair. So my nana, my mom and aunts,
Speaker 2: they all styled hair and that was kind of like
Speaker 2: our d you know. My mom started doing God's Property
Speaker 2: hair songs like celebrity you know, celebrity hairstyles. So we
Speaker 2: would be you know, kids being at video shoots and
Speaker 2: being around it, and you know, I think that really
Speaker 2: sparked the interest and gave gave us a platform to
Speaker 2: kind of like because we were good kids, but it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, you're good, you can behave, but what you're
Speaker 2: gonna do? You know? That's how the that's how like
Speaker 2: growing up in the salon was, you know, like Mom's
Speaker 2: being the hairstyles and growing up, you know, it was
Speaker 2: like all right, what y'all, what y'all got? So you
Speaker 2: know that was that was pretty much you know, dodging,
Speaker 2: trying to trying to stay out of the you know,
Speaker 2: street life or like you know, cause it was just
Speaker 2: me growing moms for for for a minute, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. And uh, she had us very young,
Speaker 2: so growing up there was a lot of people that
Speaker 2: doubted her, doubted that she would make us anything, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like I could vividly just a
Speaker 2: young mother's stigma, bruh. Like I remember hearing conversations like
Speaker 2: you know, grown up converce stations, people talking about my
Speaker 2: mom and stuff like that, and just like us and
Speaker 2: like what does she you know, what I mean. And
Speaker 2: so yeah, like you said earlier, man, this was a
Speaker 2: journey that we all took together, you know, and I've
Speaker 2: just been able to learn so much and see see
Speaker 2: so much man through this.
Speaker 3: So was it a thing where you've seen O Mario
Speaker 3: already jump off the off the porch a little bit
Speaker 3: like all right, I gotta do it now?
Speaker 2: Or we at first? Were you hesitant? No? I think
Speaker 2: the way the way it happened, man, Like we we
Speaker 2: went to like performing arts schools like Shout Out Life
Speaker 2: of Miss Belinda. We went to all kind of little dance,
Speaker 2: little troops and stuff like that, so I had I
Speaker 2: had opportunities to do the same thing. Oh it's doing
Speaker 2: from the beginning off the rip. Okay. You know my
Speaker 2: mom was like, you want to you know what it's like?
Speaker 2: Let me let me, let me fall back. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna see. I'm gonna see how Bro does it
Speaker 2: has always been your personality. Let me, Yes, we're gonna
Speaker 2: get cau. We're gonna get to that too. We're gonna
Speaker 2: get to that, you know. So I'm like, we got
Speaker 2: we're kindred spirits in that. Okay. So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: boom and yeah, man, I just I just always had
Speaker 2: the opportunity and the option because of you know, bro
Speaker 2: being us being like night and day, meaning like when
Speaker 2: we were younger, he was he was always performing, always singing,
Speaker 2: always flipping off off. I mean I flicked too, but
Speaker 2: you know, like he was always like that. But I
Speaker 2: was just like quiet, reading books, chile, just trying to
Speaker 2: discover things. So a lot of people other than my
Speaker 2: mom and my family, they, you know, when I was young,
Speaker 2: they thought like, man, all right, he not like this.
Speaker 2: The first one you got he's black back flipping and
Speaker 2: singing and you know, and he's just chilling. So I
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to just kind of think about what
Speaker 2: I wanted to do. And once I got in like
Speaker 2: middle school, man, I was like, yo, I want to
Speaker 2: do this. I did my first performance, like dance performance
Speaker 2: Chocolate Nutcracker, a little Holidays and joint, and once I
Speaker 2: hit the stage, I was like, Okay, I could do this.
Speaker 2: And then that next year B two K went on
Speaker 2: the road and I was like, hey, I'll carry all bags.
Speaker 2: So did you did you ever have art? I won't
Speaker 2: to say never. Did you ever have the opportunity.
Speaker 3: To be in the group oh no, So that wasn't
Speaker 3: that was a conversation at all.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no, because B two K.
Speaker 2: I believe they they were a yeah, they were a
Speaker 2: group already, so they wasn't taking two of y'all.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I was there. I was there when they
Speaker 2: all met that first day when they met and they
Speaker 2: was filling it out and all of that, and I
Speaker 2: was just like, whoa, this is darn, this is happening. Like,
Speaker 2: you know, I see the three guys, they like, okay,
Speaker 2: but you're not singing yet. No no, no, I'm not
Speaker 2: singing yet, and not even thinking about it. I'm just
Speaker 2: kind of peeping, like all right, what's Bro gonna do
Speaker 2: with this? Because you know, he didn't start singing, He
Speaker 2: started rapping, you know, so I saw him started that
Speaker 2: way and then it pivoted to him performing and basically
Speaker 2: learning how to sing. Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So that was inspiring just off the rip, like wait
Speaker 2: a minute, Bro just hit a backflip. Now he's in
Speaker 2: a group, and now he moved out, like like yo,
Speaker 2: Bro moved out. It's like all happening, how fast? Bro?
Speaker 2: Like like I said, seventh grade, I'm on the on
Speaker 2: the stage doing it boo. By the time I'm in.

Speaker 2: out and was like rehearsing every day with the group,
Speaker 2: and you know, I was at home at school like damn, okay.
Speaker 3: So are you having also because people don't talk about this,
Speaker 3: are you having those moment spirits like you happy for him,
Speaker 3: but you miss big brother because like you said, for
Speaker 3: a long time, it's just y'all to a mom.

Speaker 2: real fast.
Speaker 3: The cool thing for you, though, I'm sure, was that
Speaker 3: you had already experienced it adjacent exactly from your brother exactly,
Speaker 3: so you kind of knew what was ahead of you
Speaker 3: and y'all had and you were coming through the same system.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, well yes, you kind of knew. Yeah, got

Speaker 2: this is this is a real this is a real
Speaker 2: craft that if you're great at it, you can really
Speaker 2: you can really you know, make some make some moments,
Speaker 2: you know. And that's when I really just started going in. Man,
Speaker 2: just like recording and you know, hitting the road.
Speaker 3: And so did you immediately go scream forward with them
Speaker 3: or no?
Speaker 2: No, no, I did not because around the time before
Speaker 2: my album came out, the first song that actually released
Speaker 2: was on and You Got You Got, You Got Certain?
Speaker 2: Why wasn't you in the movie? You know, I don't know, man,
Speaker 2: If you don't know why they left me all bad
Speaker 2: and bougie that that you gotta asks the directors and
Speaker 2: the people who put that together, because that was definitely
Speaker 2: a drop the ball moment. They could have been doing
Speaker 2: it for a ride. That was a drop the ball moment.
Speaker 2: I don't know why that happened. But I had a
Speaker 2: song on there, and we there was a we were
Speaker 2: doing a tour to promote it, and I was like
Speaker 2: when I first started hitting hitting the shows and stuff
Speaker 2: like that, and our first performance at the Universal Amphitheater
Speaker 2: when with Haywire, when Hey Wire, I got off stage
Speaker 2: and basically B two K broke up right backstage. Well yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't think that's where the story was going. That's
Speaker 2: what happened. Like it was done done. It was done, done, done,
Speaker 2: showed that you were on with them. Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 2: that's why. So that's why you never saw B two
Speaker 2: K promoting O'Ryan B two K performing, I mean, Orian
Speaker 2: performing with B two K, Like it just you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. It was just after that. It was
Speaker 2: like after you got served, it was like, all right, O'Ryan,
Speaker 2: you over here. And I don't know if it had
Speaker 2: to do with me being signed to Universal Motown and
Speaker 2: being epic and I don't know, but it wasn't. It
Speaker 2: wasn't the cohesiveness that I imagined. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And it was just like, oh, oh snap, because I'm
Speaker 2: a solo artist and they're a group, but they're also
Speaker 2: all artists in their own right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But you had never been in a group. I had
Speaker 3: never You didn't even know what that experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was yeah. Yeah, So all I know is,
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, my first show, I was
Speaker 2: just like so excited, like oh, man blacked out didn't
Speaker 2: even know how I did what I did whatever. I'm
Speaker 2: like going back, like all right, you know, trying to
Speaker 2: ask the guys I know who I hadn't seen killed stages,
Speaker 2: how did I do? And it was just like, nah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't like that back there. I was just like, oh,
Speaker 2: it was just tense. It was tense. It was tense.
Speaker 2: It was tense. So I was like, oh, all right,
Speaker 2: all right, bet we're going this way, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. And then shortly after you know, you know, oh,
Speaker 2: every everything, you know, It's just kind of like I
Speaker 2: feel like because I was in another system. Kadar Massenberg
Speaker 2: actually signed me to Universal Man Legend and Legend bro Yeah, Legend, Legend, Legend,
Speaker 2: So I think he I think he left around that
Speaker 2: time once my album came out and in Sylvia, you know,
Speaker 2: start coming in making history. So after that it just
Speaker 2: kind of like fell by the wayside. I was just
Speaker 2: kind of disinterested honestly by the business aspect of it,
Speaker 2: you know, because I was just like, oh, it just
Speaker 2: wasn't what I thought, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I was just like because in your mind, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 3: once I put out my project, I got some success
Speaker 3: I'm rocking with the bros.
Speaker 2: Were going on door I open up for you guys. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was it went another way and I
Speaker 2: was just like, oh, okay, I didn't I didn't really
Speaker 2: plan for this, but it was it was. It was essential,
Speaker 2: I think for me. Uh and a test for me,
Speaker 2: like to see if I really wanted it right and
Speaker 2: if I was really just doing it because it was
Speaker 2: like the thing to do and you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I kind of appreciated the fact that I was
Speaker 2: able to stand on stand alone for a while and
Speaker 2: learn more. So during that period, what did you do?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 2: I was I would try to go to certain sessions
Speaker 2: and this is when I started hearing sounds in my head,
Speaker 2: and when I would go to certain sessions with producers
Speaker 2: and they just they were just not there. I just
Speaker 2: was like, man, all right, I'm out. I gotta leave. Bro,
Speaker 2: You're not You're not you know. You know I can't
Speaker 2: sing this. I'm not. I'm not you know. So I
Speaker 2: kind of got a little frustrated with it. And are
Speaker 2: you still signed at this point? Yeah? At that point
Speaker 2: you still got it. Yeah, still got the deal. Albums out,
Speaker 2: We're starting to work on a second album, right, and
Speaker 2: I'm getting sent to these sessions, and every session I
Speaker 2: go to mind you, me and my brother were you know, close.
Speaker 2: So if whoever he's recording with, I didn't heard the
Speaker 2: song I'm hearing, I'm hearing where the music is going. Yeah,
Speaker 2: with the premier artists.
Speaker 3: So I thought you, I thought you were going to
Speaker 3: say that they were trying to play you songs that
Speaker 3: he maybe didn't take you saying you're not even getting
Speaker 3: the level of records, no ship, not even and I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is this is weird.
Speaker 2: Why why am I not working with that person? Why
Speaker 2: am I not working with that person? You know? And
Speaker 2: it basically what what I uh understood. But when I
Speaker 2: stood when I kind of stood back, was you know,
Speaker 2: when you're a young entertainer, if you don't have if
Speaker 2: when you're a young talent, if you don't have like
Speaker 2: a a big executive that kind of believes in you young.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, to a major and they
Speaker 2: don't and they don't know your vision, they don't you know,
Speaker 2: and not or even gar to sometimes yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, And not that I didn't feel like anyone
Speaker 2: didn't believe in me or didn't like, oh I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know, that wasn't a thing to me. It was
Speaker 2: just like when you look at the game, you see like, okay,
Speaker 2: you know, all the executives that bring in these legends
Speaker 2: like you know, Kadar and Erica, you know, or Chris
Speaker 2: and Tina. You know, like everybody has somebody that's like
Speaker 2: YO behind them, right. And when I when I recognized
Speaker 2: and I saw that I didn't have that, I was like, oh, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: that's all that's all it is. And I feel like
Speaker 2: when you don't have that, then you have to get
Speaker 2: in your super creative bag, you know, and just just
Speaker 2: create something, you know. So that's what I started doing.
Speaker 2: The deal kind of like fell apart. They were asking
Speaker 2: me to.
Speaker 3: Like cut my hair, and so were they trying to
Speaker 3: separate you from O Mario in a sense from it
Speaker 3: looks sense.
Speaker 2: You know what, I think so? And I think the
Speaker 2: issue was because me and my brother had the same
Speaker 2: management but signed two different labels. They were trying to
Speaker 2: manage O Marion because the group broke up, but they
Speaker 2: were never planning on managing O Marion, but they had
Speaker 2: to at this point. So I think that that was
Speaker 2: just too much, you know, to try to juggle. And
Speaker 2: you know, so I just kind of started finding my
Speaker 2: own people I wanted to create with shout out Jay
Speaker 2: bining on my bro, kind of moved in with a
Speaker 2: friend for a while, started creating, started like exploring music,
Speaker 2: and then and then I just I just kept creating, man,
Speaker 2: I kept creating. I kept creating, And by the time
Speaker 2: I turned twenty, I had a baby. You know, you
Speaker 2: kept creating, created a baby. Yeah, you kept creating.
Speaker 3: And then that's and that's a whole another oh thing,
Speaker 3: that that that I was. You know, we speak about
Speaker 3: that too sometimes, the difference between the men of our
Speaker 3: industry and the women of our industry having babies and
Speaker 3: it being a different type of experience. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 3: feel like in yours you really fell into fatherhood. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, which don't always happen because, yeah, the men
Speaker 3: of our industry are so focused on that work. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: and staying and staying uh, staying in the game.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, And you know I thought about that, man.
Speaker 2: But honestly, my co creator in Parenthood at the time,
Speaker 2: she's also an artist, so watching her cultivate her story
Speaker 2: and what she where she was going in the midst
Speaker 2: of being pregnant all of these things as an artist
Speaker 2: and also a friend because we we've known each others
Speaker 2: just like elementary school and same management, like we've come
Speaker 2: up together. So for me, it was just like let me,
Speaker 2: let me, let me stay home because I ain't really
Speaker 2: have a hands on type of situation growing up with
Speaker 2: the male so I was I was shutting it down.
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, this this is my time to
Speaker 2: shine on this. You know, I can. I can be
Speaker 2: the father I didn't have. I could do the things
Speaker 2: I always wanted someone to do with me. I could
Speaker 2: do that with my daughter. And that's that's immediately what
Speaker 2: I what I saw. Yeah, you know, so I locked
Speaker 2: in with that. And you know, like I said, when
Speaker 2: when Jane, when she even prior to her getting pregnant,
Speaker 2: like I just saw, I've watched her grind it out.
Speaker 2: So I'm talking about thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, like all
Speaker 2: these years, I'm like damn and singing like talented, you
Speaker 2: feel me? So once that happened, man, I was just like, yeah, nah,
Speaker 2: you go, you go first, because you are hot and ready.
Speaker 2: And it was inspiring because once once I started seeing
Speaker 2: her go for it, man, Like it was just hitting.
Speaker 2: It was just like all of it was coming. It
Speaker 2: was all connected. It was all coming to fruition for her.
Speaker 2: And I couldn't be more happy and just like damn, yeah,
Speaker 2: like just inspired because you know, for you know a
Speaker 2: little part of me. I didn't give up, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, But I gave in more to my
Speaker 2: personal life at that time because you know, like you said,
Speaker 2: when you when you have when you're trying to be
Speaker 2: a hard throb out there and you got a baby,
Speaker 2: it's a little different, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: And finding that balance is tough. Yeah, finding that balance
Speaker 3: is tough. And you know, man, I think that big
Speaker 3: part of me falling back on my artistry as far
Speaker 3: as from being a singer, was me raising my kids too.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. So you know, I wanted
Speaker 2: to be there.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to miss no first days in school
Speaker 3: and no, you know, the tooth fell.
Speaker 2: Out and it was great.
Speaker 3: I want to want to give them the ten dollars
Speaker 3: twenty dollars for the tooth and you I mean, you know.
Speaker 2: The chieftain went up. Hey, hey, they went up. Man, very.
Speaker 3: Is so but all those moments man, my son's basketball games,
Speaker 3: my daughter's volleyball and soccer, Like, yeah, it's not it's
Speaker 3: almost damnar impossible to chase that.
Speaker 2: And to be at all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 2: is what I mean to chase, To chase it, you
Speaker 2: know what we're trying to chase from a career standpoint,
Speaker 2: from an artist standpoint, right, because artist has to say
Speaker 2: yes way more than they have to they then they
Speaker 2: can say nohing. They got to be available. They gotta
Speaker 2: be available.
Speaker 3: They gotta be at the radio, they are, they gotta
Speaker 3: be at these interviews, they gotta go do the shows.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of it's a lot of guy, I
Speaker 3: gotta got yeah. Right, So you can't make your schedule.
Speaker 3: Artists don't make their schedule.
Speaker 2: Until, let's take get to a higher level.
Speaker 3: And the funny thing even about that is that when
Speaker 3: an artist has the opportunity to make their schedules, now
Speaker 3: people call them difficult.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, because it's like they've earned this,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, if you are a
Speaker 2: multi platinum artists or somebody who's making millions of dollars,
Speaker 2: you've earned the right to say, hey, this is one,
Speaker 2: I'll be there. I'm tired.
Speaker 3: Yeah, facts, I'll see y'all next week, oh god, or
Speaker 3: you know what, I'll see y'all later whatever. That is, right, So,
Speaker 3: being a being a parent and a but just even
Speaker 3: more importantly for us as men, being a father, an
Speaker 3: active father in this business is really tough from.
Speaker 2: An artist side. Yeah, it really is, especially when you're
Speaker 2: trying to build.
Speaker 3: Now, when you get to a level, yeah, and then
Speaker 3: you're trying to build, it's tough.
Speaker 2: Bro, It's tough. It really is.
Speaker 3: So I can That's why I said you and I
Speaker 3: are kindred spirits and ways of pivoting.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, you gotta look, I'm different. Your pivot
Speaker 2: game is crazy. I've been seeing you people for a
Speaker 2: long time, and it's only certain people I feel like
Speaker 2: I've been able to know and see in this business
Speaker 2: from my standpoint, you know, having a brother, having access
Speaker 2: but not the platform, so to speak, or being a
Speaker 2: part of the background, or being you know, it's certain
Speaker 2: people I always see, you feel me. It's certain people
Speaker 2: I always acknowledged because it's like, oh, yeah you you okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: we you know we in this. Yeah, I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: in the room I'm supposed to be okay, every you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, every time. I will not be
Speaker 2: in every room but the one I want to be.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like, I know if I see
Speaker 2: you in the room, I've been right really like Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna be here tonight, absolutely, Bro. So I and
Speaker 2: why are you here? Man?
Speaker 3: I want to I just want to commend you for
Speaker 3: that though, for making that decision and insanity yourself, like listen,
Speaker 3: like this is this is what I'm going to focus on,
Speaker 3: because you could have listened.
Speaker 2: Man, you could have chased and chased and chased in
Speaker 2: a different way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think, and you can tell me if
Speaker 3: I'm wrong. I feel like you always found satisfaction in.
Speaker 2: Old success too, Oh for sure. So as long as
Speaker 2: bro cracking, Oh we crack, it's lit, it's lit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Because you know, like I was saying earlier, Man, I
Speaker 2: I remember hearing damn, it's certain family members. Oh it's singing,
Speaker 2: singing in the house, jumping around. Shut up. I remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I was quiet. Didn't nobody tell me to show
Speaker 2: up because I was already quiet. But I remember that, man,
Speaker 2: So whenever I see him doing anything. I'm like, yeah, nigga, Like, Bro,
Speaker 2: it's okay, Bro, all right, well a hold on, hold on,

Speaker 2: started loving music like like a music lover and not
Speaker 2: like a music maker. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 2: know what you mean? You know what? So I'm like, okay,

Speaker 2: back in the venue. But and a whole nother Like
Speaker 2: you said, I'm not walking on I'm not backstage. Now
Speaker 2: I'm on the stage, but I'm okay, a whole different function. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a whole nother, another aspect. So so you dive
Speaker 2: into the DJ, dive into the DJ in bro just
Speaker 2: like going hard with the DJ in doing back on
Speaker 2: the block, doing clubs, doing little little diners, doing like
Speaker 2: doing all these little gigs. Man. And and are you
Speaker 2: playing your records? No, that's the crazy. You never mix

Speaker 3: Were you trying to get away from the Orion Moniker?
Speaker 2: What are you going by the DJ? Well? At first
Speaker 2: I was going by DJ Poppa right, Oh, so you
Speaker 2: was oh yeah, you're completely away from DJ POPA. You
Speaker 2: know that the acronym was like parent and party animal
Speaker 2: like that was the act that parent and party animal like,
Speaker 2: that was the act I was. I was not going
Speaker 2: to I wasn't out of the lineup. I wasn't gonna
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, okay, because you're daddy, now
Speaker 2: you just call you some DJ pop parent Parmy. That was.
Speaker 2: That was the you know what I mean. I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna go with this, and like I said, man,
Speaker 2: it started putting me in the rooms again where I'm
Speaker 2: I'm with all the people. I know, they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: oh wait you over there. Okay, okay, but what you
Speaker 2: doing though, you know, and I'm like, you know, I
Speaker 2: was low key, man. I was trying to get away
Speaker 2: from that because I felt like, you know, what the
Speaker 2: game needs from a solo artist, you know, at you know,
Speaker 2: it's just a lot you feel I want to do it.
Speaker 2: It's a lot.
Speaker 5: And I was just like, I'm gonna just play everyone
Speaker 5: else's records, you know, because it was fun, man, and
Speaker 5: it was it was inspiring, but you know, it came
Speaker 5: to a point where you know, bro, you know, bro,
Speaker 5: was like, Hey, you're trying to, you know, DJ for me.
Speaker 2: I'm like Bird, I'm like all right that. So that
Speaker 2: wasn't even a given at first, Like no, no, no,
Speaker 2: Like like I dj for maybe like three or four
Speaker 2: years before I started DJing with Bro as his DJ
Speaker 2: and as DJ Popper No just as see not Love.
Speaker 2: So so DJ Popp is that that. I'm so glad
Speaker 2: you said that, because, you know, I had to make
Speaker 2: a decision because a lot of people wanted to book
Speaker 2: Oriyan because they saw me DJing and They're like, what
Speaker 2: are you gonna sane? Are you gonna you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? And I'm like, no, that's a whole nother hit. Neck,
Speaker 2: that's a different You don't need my dad? Is I
Speaker 2: need my you know? And well I went on on
Speaker 2: on tour with Bro as this DJ. There was an
Speaker 2: opportunity for me to sing take It Slow, pop Out,
Speaker 2: and it was like the response every Bro I already
Speaker 2: know I was, that's a fucking jam. I was Bro
Speaker 2: got one and once I didn't eed, I wouldn't. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna say I didn't know. I'm gonna say that
Speaker 2: because at that time when it came out, I'm talking
Speaker 2: about the young singers were on fire, right, I'm talking
Speaker 2: about Lloyd Rio Brown. It was it was so lit.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so many I'm forgetting the name. You like,
Speaker 2: it was lit, you know. So it was like, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't really get to flourish in that
Speaker 2: because I felt like, you are you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Are you like you glad that you didn't really like? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I feel like the way my story needed to go,
Speaker 2: Like my fatherhood, my my maturity, my DJing, It's like
Speaker 2: all of that needed to go into my store and
Speaker 2: it had to happen that way. It had to happen, man,
Speaker 2: you know. So like I said, when Bro, when I'm
Speaker 2: singing taking slow Man on on a millennium tour, man,
Speaker 2: and I'm and I'm every night people are singing it
Speaker 2: back to me, I'm like holding back tears because you
Speaker 2: had never fully experienced I never experienced it, bro, like
Speaker 2: I didn't. It's a grown man record too though.
Speaker 3: I mean that's the other part, bro, between being sixteen
Speaker 3: or twenty six singing that way different And that's.

Speaker 2: and like I said, man, I don't regret anything. I
Speaker 2: don't wish nothing happened different like it all happened I
Speaker 2: was supposed to happen, and it definitely didn't happen like
Speaker 2: I thought it would.
Speaker 3: Okay, speaking of things happen when they're supposed to have it,

Speaker 2: you know, I wish the stage was bigger because I
Speaker 2: feel like that's why BK did for me. Yeah. You know,
Speaker 2: all I saw from B two K is like I'm like,
Speaker 2: they looking they like, okay, we were about to you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, But the stage was so small
Speaker 2: and the and and you know they gave us like
Speaker 2: ninety seconds. That's that's what was crazy.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: Why y'all tell us ninety seconds and then and then
Speaker 2: let them just go on for one hundred and forty seconds.
Speaker 2: I wasn't right. I was counting bro, because that's something
Speaker 2: they told us in the in the in the sound check,
Speaker 2: they're like, all right, ninety seconds and then we gotta
Speaker 2: rimp it whoop, And I'm like, all right, bet you know,
Speaker 2: I'm almost stick to the rule. Other side in twenty seconds,
Speaker 2: I'm like, dang man.
Speaker 3: I also like, while we're here, I just also like
Speaker 3: to say, man that you know, listen up.
Speaker 2: Was the last song that was played, and I appreciate
Speaker 2: it went. I mean, I made my third verses. Hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: come on, that's how I say reverses at this point.
Speaker 2: That's you gotta get in versus Jersey needa versus Jersey
Speaker 2: knee one knee one because bro, that that was not
Speaker 2: like them nights on tour, Like, yeah, but it's great.
Speaker 2: What I will say though, versus great for the coach.
Speaker 2: It's fun.
Speaker 3: That's what I wis was I wish. I wish people
Speaker 3: did have even though you said you shouldn't. There shouldn't
Speaker 3: be your intentions. Yeah, I wish people actually did have
Speaker 3: fun on it though, right right right, even when you know,
Speaker 3: when we did it with Tank and Tyrese, yeah it turned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like it wasn't mean it wasn't fun, but
Speaker 2: then it was like it was so many jazz. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was just like, you know what I mean, so
Speaker 3: because I hope even even I think it's because that
Speaker 3: because of the name versus makes me feel like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: instead of a celebration, yeah and yeah. And I think
Speaker 3: the audience comes to the verses to what that is,
Speaker 3: staying on their side and to go against, you know,
Speaker 3: instead of actually partying together and being like oh yeah,
Speaker 3: So for me, man, that that that's something that in
Speaker 3: the future, because obviously they're going to do more oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I just I hope that it shifts a little more
Speaker 3: towards that more of a party.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yea. Even even watching like Game and YG, them
Speaker 2: niggas had a good ass time. You know. That was
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: They wasn't going at each other, and that's honestly what
Speaker 3: I feel like people expected because of them. Niggas probably
Speaker 3: had the most fun in a while that I've seen,
Speaker 3: probably since Snoop and d m X Oh yeah didn't Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was that was epic. Snooper didn't, Max Fort and
Speaker 3: Short those were ones to me where.
Speaker 2: It was just like, that's what we're celebrating this ship, man,
Speaker 2: we have a good ass time exactly, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Yeah, because all the R and B versus
Speaker 2: have been very tense, so.
Speaker 3: Niggas is wild too, you know, yeah, they ain't where
Speaker 3: there is that but yeah, he.
Speaker 2: Be Took had a big stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they need they need room to hit that that that
Speaker 2: eight count because you know, the moves is is epic,
Speaker 2: the music is epic, and you know, yeah, like I
Speaker 2: just felt like pretty ricky man that that was there.
Speaker 2: That was more their arena for sure, because they had
Speaker 2: them songs that that live in that space. You know
Speaker 2: that space. Yeah, it's hood yeah versuss hood Yeah, in
Speaker 2: this hood R and B oh all the way hood
Speaker 2: R and B all the way the day the hood
Speaker 2: R and B ghosts. So so next man, you just
Speaker 2: up to your acting back, Yes, sir, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: We've talked about how they didn't put you in and
Speaker 3: uh you got served, which is crazy, wild, insanity, insanity.

Speaker 3: in that movie. But now y'all got wild rolls.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. So on All Black, Yes, sir, All Black,
Speaker 2: on the All Black app Apple TV, Come on man,

Speaker 2: And I'm playing the older brother. I ain't even peep
Speaker 2: that you're the older brother, sir. I'm the older brother
Speaker 2: this time. So that was I would say that was
Speaker 2: probably the most fun part about doing this show with
Speaker 2: Bro because we went in with the same acting coach,
Speaker 2: so he would he would go with her maybe like
Speaker 2: an hour before and I'll go, I'll follow, and then
Speaker 2: sometimes as we'll do it together, and it was so awkward,
Speaker 2: like you know, like you know, looking at Bro like
Speaker 2: I'm the older Bro. I'm you know, I'm like, this
Speaker 2: is awkward. Hold on, I got it. I gotta be
Speaker 2: older Bro, So I have I have. I think they
Speaker 2: purposely wrote it like that, so y'all would have that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know, because some other
Speaker 2: actors actually auditioned for his older to play his older brother,
Speaker 2: you know, so I auditioned a little after and Neil
Speaker 2: did shut out Daisy. I think I think they might
Speaker 2: have wrote it like that on purpose, But it was
Speaker 2: it was a crazy experience, Bro, because we did it.
Speaker 2: We did it in like forty forty five days or something.
Speaker 2: The whole season, whole whole joint sit night after night,
Speaker 2: not like like like a student, like like you know.
Speaker 3: So who produced the Daisy?
Speaker 2: Uh? What is my man? I'm sorry to Daisy's the
Speaker 2: writer too though, right, yeah, I'll be days wrote wrote
Speaker 2: it too, and he he he was on tour with us.
Speaker 2: So that's why I feel like, yeah, he was on
Speaker 2: tour with us when when we when B t K
Speaker 2: did that first tour, uh, and they came back together
Speaker 2: that first time. He filmed the documentary. No man, he
Speaker 2: filmed the documentary and I don't know how he did.
Speaker 2: He had about eight cameras out there. The shots he
Speaker 2: got was crazy. So he did that and then wrote
Speaker 2: the show Man and it was it was the It
Speaker 2: was the the most eye open experience because you know,
Speaker 2: me and Bro we've worked on songs here and there,
Speaker 2: but like a production like that, you know, having different
Speaker 2: call times, having you know, seeing each other only at
Speaker 2: work and the uh in North Hollywood. Yeah yeah, yep, yep,
Speaker 2: yep so and and some like in Hollywood and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. So it was crazy, man, just like locking
Speaker 2: in with Bro on a project like that and seeing
Speaker 2: it come out and people receive it and loving it,
Speaker 2: and it's just like, well, bro, I'm locked in. Bro, Bro,

Speaker 2: it was meant for me to get greater later, you know,
Speaker 2: because I feel like if I would have went off
Speaker 2: the handle a little sooner, you know, I might not
Speaker 2: have been disciplined enough to handle it, or you know,
Speaker 2: mighta I don't know, something else might have happened. But
Speaker 2: what I was able to receive by supporting people I love,
Speaker 2: you know, my brother's I was able to learn so much,
Speaker 2: like I said, seeing someone you know become a mother
Speaker 2: and then still be that artist become a better artist,
Speaker 2: Like I was just inspired, Like damn, okay, hold up,
Speaker 2: you did that, and yeah, man, I got inspired, bro,

Speaker 2: things are planning out, you know, because I didn't I
Speaker 2: didn't see any of this coming the way it did.
Speaker 2: And that allowed me to stop focusing on what it
Speaker 2: should be, what it could be, and just being present

Speaker 2: and do your thing now in the moment. Yeah, you know,

Speaker 2: a little different, you know what I'm saying, with the
Speaker 2: grab on there and just you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: you got you know what I mean. So so the
Speaker 2: vocals is hitting a little grown. So just just getting
Speaker 2: back to it. Man. My kids is older, you know,
Speaker 2: they're teenagers now. So I have the space and you know,
Speaker 2: in in the in the mental fortitude to be like, okay,
Speaker 2: you know, because you feel guilt.

Speaker 2: role that I'm working on, you know.
Speaker 3: So we locked into the into the television, yeah bro.
Speaker 2: And and I'm slowly writing the Orion you know story,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, because people I feel like,
Speaker 2: need to see people, people need to see visually what
Speaker 2: it looks like. So it'll be loose based. Yeah, loosely based,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Loosely based, but it'll be
Speaker 2: my story. But you know from just you know, young
Speaker 2: kids coming up in California, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: having opportunities, you know, being ready or not that.
Speaker 3: And I might have told them that in private art
Speaker 3: on on the on the pot. But it's different when
Speaker 3: you're from l A.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I've noticed that from my folks that are
Speaker 2: from here. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So for you to fall back in a city like
Speaker 3: la it's very different. Yeah, because it's expected. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like once you're on your own, yeah yeah, go, and.
Speaker 2: Even when you're not on, you're supposed to be because
Speaker 2: it's like you can't just be a regular person, a
Speaker 2: regular life cool like yeah, doing regular cool ship. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a different it's a different type of pressure. Oh
Speaker 2: oh mind for for people that I know that are
Speaker 2: from southern California, absolutely because I feel like we get
Speaker 2: to see inside of the business in a different way
Speaker 2: that somebody from another state, you know, or another place,
Speaker 2: like they're not maybe privy to certain things, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So we see we see it all,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. We see the people not
Speaker 2: get credit. You know, we see like we see people
Speaker 2: get credit for maybe what they don't do, or we
Speaker 2: see somebody really grinding and they deserve it, but they
Speaker 2: got it, you know what I'm saying. All because they
Speaker 2: people they got with them like people in LA see
Speaker 2: the business like the dirty side, the dirty you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So yeah, to be from LA and
Speaker 2: actually still want to pursue it, you definitely that that
Speaker 2: in out. You gotta be a soldier.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, you know, not bro like And like I
Speaker 3: said even earlier, I'm proud of you. I've known you
Speaker 3: than i've known you seen your teenager yeah fact, you

Speaker 3: it means something. It means something. And to see that
Speaker 3: you still got your mentals, you got you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, then that's something that we also should speak
Speaker 3: more about. Absolutely right, absolutely what the toes that this
Speaker 3: takes on people. And it's really hard, man, It's really
Speaker 3: hard to see our peers man years later and be
Speaker 3: like damn man.
Speaker 2: Yeah it got to them. Yeah yeah, whooped them? It
Speaker 2: got them? Yeah, you know what I mean. It's hard.
