You know, everybody knows Wu Tang, 54 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: so like that was our main thing for a long time. 55 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 2: But we do have a lot of up and coming 56 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: artists coming out now. Everybody's pretty much doing their own thing, 57 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: but everybody puts on for themselves. I wish there was 58 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: a lot more unity with everybody. That that would be 59 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 2: fire because then we could basically take over New York 60 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: no fund to anybody else. But yeah, growing up the 61 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: music scene is just it's always been there. It's always 62 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: been prominent, especially in my life. My high school life, 63 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: I was performing arts major so yeah, everything was, everything 64 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: was great. I just loved music. It's always been a 65 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: part of everything that I've been trying to do. 66 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: When did you first start tapping into your musical side? 67 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Because you know I and I hate this too. If 68 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: you search your name, it's always like meta Man's daughter. 69 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: Yeah that's what it says in front of everything, which 70 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: it's a gift and a curse, all right, because it 71 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: is a gift because your dad is amazing and people 72 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: love him, you know, as an artist, as an actor 73 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: and everything.

What did she think initially of 123 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: your music because it is a little different than like 124 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: what your brother's doing and then obviously what your dad did. 125 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: It's a whole new younger vibe. It's drill music incorporated. 126 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: So is that music that she was like, I get it, 127 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: I listened to this or was it like, okay, my 128 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: this is you know. 129 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: She's kind of like because we listen to a lot 130 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: of different music around the house, so she's like hip 131 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: to it, but to like hear me doing it and 132 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: like to hear my voice behind the things. She's like 133 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: one of my biggest supporters. So it's like she's like 134 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: always that voice of my ear, like yeah that's that stuff? 135 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: Was fire what you got. So it was good just 136 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: getting that support from her and just from my whole 137 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: family in anything that I'm doing because that's what I 138 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: feed off of. 139 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: Right. And then even with the Wu Tang next generation, 140 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: y'all actually had done some music together too, Like I 141 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: think it was ghost Faces. 142 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, ghost Face song, I know, Young Dirty YDB, and 143 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: then my brother FO powered my cousin into we're all 144 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: the technically second generation. We're like a step down from 145 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: our fathers who started this big legacy. So we thought, 146 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: why not come together and just do something that can't 147 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: be done by anybody else, because who else can say 148 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: they're the second generation but the actual second generation. So 149 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: to come together with all of them, it's like a family. 150 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: It's always been a family. Most of them are actually 151 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: my family, right, so it's it's never anything like weird 152 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: or awkward. It's literally like love all the time. 153 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: It feels like a reality show. 154 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just saying, yeah, it could be. 155 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: It could be, honestly some of the stuff that happens. 156 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: Because I feel like we've never seen no like Staten 157 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Island reality show before. And I used to work in 158 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: Staten Island when I went too Dang. I used to 159 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: work in the Bay Street office. It's definitely, Yeah, it's 160 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: definitely like a different whole vibe because I feel like 161 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: the way Stanton Island is set up, it's not even 162 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: as easy just to even take public transportation to get 163 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: to Manhattan Brooklyn. You got to take that ferry. 164 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the ferry, the train, the baits, everything. Yeah, if 165 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: you're not taking the for everything, you're paying a million 166 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: dollars for toll. So it's like, what are you gonna do? 167 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: M Now, how protective were your parents have you growing up? 168 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: Like as far as dating, Oh, they were very protective. 169 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: But I always kept in the back of my mind 170 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: that Staten Island is so small that whatever I do, 171 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: somebody knows. My parents definitely somebody's gonna tell them. I 172 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: remember when I first got my new car, my dad 173 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: took a picture of it in the parking lot of 174 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: my school and I'm like, how did you get here?

So what is some advice that you've gotten, 205 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: say from your dad or from your mom, because she 206 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: really grew up in this too. He was going to 207 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: start to get tampons and stuff at the early age. 208 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: You know that story yes, so they just like one 209 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 2: thing that my dad said to me that will always 210 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: stick with me is just stay in order to stay 211 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: relevant because you know, music changes over time. The nineties 212 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: doesn't sound like what we sound like today. Just be 213 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: versatile and be open to everything. And that's what I 214 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: try my best to do. So my EP or my 215 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: album that's coming up, when we finish it, it's gonna 216 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: have a little bit of everything, just so I can 217 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: have a variety of sounds for everybody to hear and 218 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: get to know me from and from my mom. What 219 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: sticks with me every day is don't slow down. Like 220 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: as soon as you sit back and like get comfortable, 221 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: it's like somebody else is coming for your spot. Somebody 222 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: is gunning for you. So just keep going and keep trying. 223 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 2: And that's how it's been my whole life.
