70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 6: with the music coming from Nashville, Tennessee, not from Memphis. Correction,

71
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 6: there's a connection with Nashville, right, Yeah.

72
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,560

00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 6: Okay, I knew that it was a connection with the

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 6: Nashville So how did you get in a lot of

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 6: people have dreams to get into the music business. Very

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 6: few people are able to be successful, and it's almost

79
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 6: impossible to reach the level of success that you have reached.

80
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 6: So what was you how what was your journey into

81
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: you know, getting to become a superstar producer in the game.

82
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 7: It was a long journey.

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: I think it was just phases in my life, you know,

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: starting from middle school, you know, twelve eleven twelve, experiment

85
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: with sounds and computer programs and trying to understand what

86
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: direction I want to go to room from that to

87
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: me trying to record music. It went from that to

88
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: me realizing I can make beats, you know, producing music.

89
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: Who did you teach yourself?

90
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 7: Yeah? Everything was self talk.

91
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: So it went from net phase to me going to

92
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: college doing producing and then picking up DJing, you know,

93
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: and it just kind of all connected like my senior

94
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: year last semester, you know what I'm saying.

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 6: So who was the first lest that you really like

96
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 6: gave a B two and kind of like it started

97
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 6: to really spread.

98
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: It was like I said, it was it was multiple

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: scenarios going on because I knew I understood the power

100
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: of network very young. So I would say one of

101
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: the first people who I was working with at the

102
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: time was my homeboy baby Og and you know, he

103
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: was going back young Nick at the time, and basically

104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: he had did a hot one up seven it's like

105
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: the main hip hop really your station in Memphis. He

106
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: had did a competition and won a competition. It was

107
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: like top finalists for the competition, and that was like

108
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: my first time having my music on the radio in

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: some somewhat of a rotation, you know. In the mix

110
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: of that. I was working with Keith Glock also, you

111
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I was like in the tenth grade.

112
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: We was working putting our mixtapes on that Pith and.

113
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 7: You know that was hot at the time.

114
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: We was trying to get to live mixtapes, were trying

115
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: to get to like spin reelerhead just kind of got high.

116
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: So we was putting our music like that too, and

117
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: also in the mix of that. Around that same period,

118
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: I was working with Blockboard JB.

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 8: You know, so like you're saying these names that I'm

120
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 8: thinking like at this time because you're from Memphis, which

121
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 8: is not like most people are not gonna think, yo,

122
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 8: that's a hot bad for hip hop artists. But this

123
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 8: is a different time, right because you said Keith Clock,

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 8: but you got you got you under stay, you got

125
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 8: the off, you got gotty.

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 7: Obviously, like are these people.

127
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 8: Influencing how you're trying to make the music or is

128
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 8: it like are you listening to New York or what

129
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 8: Atlanta is doing?

130
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: That was definitely the Myphis influence in my music, like

131
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: the old Gotti and the old you know what I'm saying,

132
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: Like it was it's artist that y'all probably never even

133
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: heard of who influenced Myphis and it's the you know,

134
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: the culture like so much that it was like, damn,

135
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: you know, it takes.

136
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 7: It takes.

137
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: It takes people like Drake to put a player fly

138
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: simple in the song where y'all be like, oh, who

139
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: the fuck is playing Fly, y'all looking up. Play a

140
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: Fly now, y'all see all damn. So he has so

141
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: much influence in mephis especially in the nineties when my parents,

142
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, was coming up. He was

143
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: making music then. You know, play a Fly. You got

144
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: like people like Criminal Mind, Frazer Boy, you know, Skinny Pimp.

145
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: You know you got, you got like mac E, you

146
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: know the Lizen Gos. Only so many people like even

147
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: like O g Bu Dirty. You know what I'm saying,

148
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: y'all heard I thought got one of the biggest influence

149
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: in Memphis.

150
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 7: Y'all I never heard of Nah, we don't learn that.

151
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 7: I got the research.

152
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 6: I mean, it's important to know regionally was because every

153
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 6: every region has their own underground artists may not have

154
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 6: been you know, worldwide or reached, but they have a

155
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: strong influence there, like you know what I'm saying, and

156
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 6: especially like like you said, Memphis is like one of

157
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 6: the hard hottest cities right now when it comes to

158
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 6: music because of Gotti and all the guys out there

159
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 6: that's really you know, doing their thing. But previous it

160
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: wasn't always like that. So if you don't.

161
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 5: Have like La or New York or Atlanta.

162
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 6: Where you know, if you become hot in those cities,

163
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 6: you're going to be hot all over, Like you know

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. But a lot of time, like if

165
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 6: you're from Oakland, or if you're from Memphis or Houston, Texas,

166
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 6: Like there's people in Houston that was slim Thug was

167
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 6: already a millionaire by the time we heard of him,

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 6: but he was already big in Memphis, like you know

169
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So it's dope because each region kind

170
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 6: of influences. And then like you said with Drake, like

171
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 6: I think Drake, I think his stepfather is from Memphis, right,

172
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: his father his father from somebody he used to spend

173
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 6: someone's out there. So that's how his influenced to Memphis

174
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 6: influenced and him being the biggest in the world. He

175
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 6: when he does songs with black Boy JB or he

176
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 6: starts to put different influences in. That's a way for

177
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 6: the world to kind of see Memphis. So what's the

178
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 6: first song that really went crazy?

179
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 7: Though? What you would say?

180
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: I think I think one, Like what was the first

181
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: song y'all probably heard of me? I think it might

182
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: have been look Alive, Look alive. I think it because

183
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: that was like, there was just so many factors of that. Obviously,

184
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 3: the song it was crazy, Drake went crazy on it.

185
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: Then the dance, now the dance came from shoot Shot

186
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: and that was so that's yours too.

187
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 7: That was that was the original.

188
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 5: That's now.

189
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 8: When people heard that that they saw people doing it

190
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 8: and they were like, no, the movie is called the Shoot.

191
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 8: So I was like, shoot, sure, you got to go

192
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 8: listen to that record what Night Fortnight? And then it

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 8: went crazy. Yeah, so you said, is that the one

194
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 8: that you're gonna say something Shoots the dance?

195
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Shoot was the song I was gonna say, but

196
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to see what you got, you got you, you

197
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So Shoot was the original song

198
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: that went viral that me and Block put out you

199
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 3: know self destrode that we went viral, you know, and

200
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: that was like twenty seventeen. In the in the mix

201
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: of that, I was also doing records with Money Bag

202
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: Yo and Black Youngster. We had one of the biggest

203
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: club records in the South called Gang Gang. If y'all

204
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: heard of it or not, but you play Gang Gang

205
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: right now? Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, anywhere at Tennessee. They gonna

Speaker 3: it was. It was just put out on all spindriller,

208
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. It was just like some

209
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: I guess, like some last minute shit and it just

210
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: went crazy like that that shoot, and I say, like

211
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: after that, like Rover in the mix of that. Then

212
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 3: me and Keith Locke put out Russian Cream. All this

213
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: was in the same time, within a year span.

214
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 7: Sucking up. That's when you just.

215
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 5: You just one thing led to the next and it's

216
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: just crazy.

217
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: Hell God for real, because it was like its just everything,

218
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: just the universe just centered to me like everything I

219
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: was shit. I was working on five years ago, shit,

220
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: I was working on a year ago, shit, I was

221
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: working on two years ago. Things that just connected all

222
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: at one time.

223
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 8: It just so as that's happening up because you get

224
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 8: the success is growing, the records is playing.

225
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 7: There's the business side for it too. Yeah.

226
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 8: So being that you were so young at the time

227
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 8: when you were creating the music, did somebody put you

228
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 8: on the game? Was that something you had to learn

229
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 8: as you were going I was very naive to the

230
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 8: business side, and it took situations for me at a

231
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 8: young age to realize I need to get serious about

232
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 8: the business side.

233
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 7: You know.

234
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: It was times where it was I was on the

235
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: basically like the shit end of the stick, you know,

236
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 3: and I'm you know, under age at the time. God

237
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: took advantage of in the music situation, and you know,

238
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: it just I'm not gonna get too much in detail

239
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: a little, but it basically taught me the business, you know.

240
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 3: And I just I was like sixteen and shit went left.

241
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: You know, Memphis ain't had too many resources. My pops

242
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: tried to do what he could, you know, we just

243
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: it just something that just made me go so much harder.

244
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 7: And you know, probably like.

245
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: Maybe when I turned like eighteen, I started to know

246
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: more about like all right, you can get paid from this,

247
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: you can get paid from that, you can get publishing.

248
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, You can get you can

249
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: give mechanical ruorties.

250
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 8: Okay, so what I'm saying, yeah, those are the things

251
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 8: that and I'm glad, I'm glad you're bringing light to

252
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 8: that because when people make music, they don't know those things.

253
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 7: So obviously you can sell the beat.

254
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 8: So one are the other things that you can make

255
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 8: money from making the actual music.

256
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

257
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: So the thing is when you sell a beat, just

258
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: like exclusively, like to a label or artist or something,

259
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: you're selling the masters to it, right. You're not owning

260
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: the masters to the beat no more. That's why people

261
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: charge so much of a front forty fifty thousand dollars,

262
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: like big producers charged the much of a front because if

263
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: that was the case, if the artist was to put

264
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: out the song or the labels to put out the song,

265
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: the producer would be entitled to how much of a percentage?

266
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

267
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: He can get out of the scenario, but it's a

268
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: set rate when he's sealing the beat because he's selling

269
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: them the master to the beat. You know, it's part

270
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: of the song master. Can you what we said? Mechanical Yeah,

271
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 3: that's on the mechanical side, like the song. You're putting

272
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 3: out the song, the record, the actual record. Then you

273
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: got like the publishing.

274
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 5: Okay, So how important is it to so producers get publishing.

275
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 7: If you did the beat by yourself?

276
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 6: Yeah okay, So how important is that? Because that's something

277
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 6: that Ryan Leslie has talked about with us. He does production.

278
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: Ran Leslie I'm for me. Yeah, he real talented.

279
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, So how important is that for producers to keep publishing?

280
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: To know about publishing?

281
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: So publishing is what produces. Like I said, I said

282
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: this before, publishing is what I've made my living off

283
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: For the past five years. I have seen little to

284
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: no money on the mechanical side for various reasons. Agreements

285
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: not done, you know what I'm saying, Like labels, and

286
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: you know, it's just it's a lot of reasons, and

287
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: it's like holdups on a lot of it. So as

288
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: far as the publishing, you're in control of it. You

289
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: don't have to wait till the label get this cleared

290
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: and get this paid or whatever. You're in control of it.

291
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: So when it comes to a publishing situation, nine times

292
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: out of ten, if you get a hit, you're gonna

293
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: get a you know, a radio hit, you're gonna get

294
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: some money, a nice little lum sum. On the publishing side,

295
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: it's up to you if you want to do an

296
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: adme or you want to do a pub there the

297
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: difference would be it's, you know what I'm saying, what

298
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: you own it and how much you getting.

299
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 6: So the admin deals like an admin, they track it

300
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 6: down for you and they take a percentage for it.

301
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: It's the same thing with a co pub. I guess

302
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: the difference would be what they own and out of

303
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: it and what you getting up front. If you do

304
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: a co pub, you might say I want a million

305
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: dollars a front. You do an ad me, you might

306
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: they might be like, no, we can't give you a

307
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: mere would give you a couple hundred thousand. It's just

308
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: whatever situation you might you.

309
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 8: Know, be the inspiration from others drives us forward. Their

310
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 8: resilience pushes us to excel, and their path navigates the

311
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 8: way towards freedom. Ford is proud to celebrate Black History

312
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,040

317
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 6: And then so every time your record gets played, you

318
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 6: get some money for that, right that's like the publishing.

319
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 6: So if they're planning it on the radio, if they're

320
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 6: doing anything like if it's getting spent on the Super

321
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 6: Bowl ad, whatever, the portion of that the publishing that

322
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 6: goes back to you on a residual basis monthly, well whatever.

323
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, So.

324
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 8: As a producer, you're not at the time you're doing this,

325
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 8: you're independently doing this. You're not signed to a label,

326
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 8: and you're like the in house producer for that.

327
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: Like if there was no label, I wouldn't I didn't

328
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: sign you know, no no label. I just was trying

329
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 3: to do everything independently. So I learned the whole structure.

330
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: It was tempting, you know, right, people throwing money and

331
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: the opposite to you want to know, like if you

332
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: if you're throwing me this upfront, how much you're really

333
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: making up me?

334
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 7: You know.

335
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 6: So you said something like it was like a lot

336
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 6: of producers say that they they don't get paid for

337
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 6: beats or they waiting to get paid and they haven't

338
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 6: gotten paid, And you said something to that effect, Why

339
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 6: is that, like, what causes a producer to not get

340
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 6: paid for a beat?

341
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 7: The it's various reasons, you know.

342
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 3: Majority of the time, it just it just be like

343
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: the paperwork ain't done properly, you know, sick natures. Ain't

344
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 3: saying somebody else putting in a claim. It might been

345
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: somebody saying they wrote, you know, or whatever they want.

346
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: Another producer might come in the picture, like I did this,

347
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 3: or you know, somebody sampleed this. It's various reasons, but

348
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: it's a majority of the songs or you know going

349
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: through this process.

350
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 5: Now that's crazy.

351
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, that is tough. So even when you have like

352
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 7: if you're doing a song, you're producing it.

353
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 8: Somebody comes in, I guess they add maybe you know,

354
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 8: let's add a drum to that. Technically they co produce

355
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 8: it with you. How does that work through they get

356
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 8: like points from the It could be.

357
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: Both sides, you know, it just depends on what they

358
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: negotiate with me or what you know, they actually put

359
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 3: in on it, Like if they did us signy have

360
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: to get part or you know, whatever the case might be.

361
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 3: And they for Shure are tied of the publishing, you know.

362
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 6: So as far as a lot of I've heard before,

363
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: producers they'll send beats to artists and then the artist

364
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 6: will pick it or artists to like it. And then

365
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 6: obviously some artists they'll reach out to producers for beats.

366
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 5: What what have you done? Have you done that?

367
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: Where you just send a package of beats to set

368
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 6: artists and then let him go through it, Like, what's

369
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 6: your process for that?

370
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: Like like when I when I'm getting placements with people

371
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: and being in the studio with artists, you.

372
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 5: Know, you do it, you do it in person?

373
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 7: Both? Yeah, yeah, I do both.

374
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, it just depends on the

375
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: vibe or the artists or really it can be the

376
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: vible what I mean. You know, I might be like

377
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: I'm in I'm in a mold where I can just

378
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: make way more beats and a better vibe, you know,

379
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: at homework in the studio by myself and send it off.

380
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: Or it can be a vibe where I'd be like,

381
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: all right, I got a link with this artist in town.

382
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 5: Let's going on cook up? Then the way, how is

383
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 5: it working with Beyonce?

384
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 7: You going there?

385
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: He just asked it out, you said so blatantly. You

386
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: can't said, because before we get to Beyonce, like we.

387
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 8: Got to like the Black Boy JB record is big.

388
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 7: Obviously Drake's on that.

389
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 8: But there's a transition and you obviously from your life

390
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 8: from that point to sickle mode because sickle mode is

391
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 8: something that's very rare for producers. Right, you have sold

392
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 8: ten million records, that's ten that's a diamond record, So

393
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 8: talking about the journey from from from that moment would

394
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 8: shoot and look alive to sycle mode and like now

395
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 8: that they know that tagline, like how many people are

396
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 8: coming after you? And then boom on top of that

397
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 8: fast paced like success as it seems to us, you know,

398
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 8: you have the biggest record to date that you've you've made.

399
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 7: So what was that like their process was was was cool?

400
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: I think I look back on it like everything was

401
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: kind of like a blur for me because I was

402
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: in school. I'm having to fly out of town every weekend.

403
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm getting back the morning of from the airport

404
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: the morning of, you know what I'm saying, trying to

405
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: make sure I get the class, and I'm just working

406
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: with everybody. We're going, you know, doing interviews. Were in

407
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: New York, We're in La we in Miami.

408
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 7: You know.

409
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: On top of that, I'm trying to balance personal life.

410
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: I feel like that moment was a real like challenge

411
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: for me. You know, I was going through a lot

412
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: at home too with my mom at the time. She

413
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: was battling some mental health issues. So I was in

414
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 3: the process of getting that situated, trying to get school balanced.

415
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: You know and also work with these artists Light Travis Scott,

416
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: you know, getting in the studio and lock in and

417
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: work and still keep a smile on my face and

418
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: understand what God gave me and bless me with. You know,

419
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: I can't take it for granted, so keeping out it

420
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: in mind, I just was full for us, Like grind Mode,

421
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: it was a blur. I just knew I had to

422
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: get to the next level. So, you know, I think

423
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 3: they came out on this summer. When was it like August?

424
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 3: I feel like eighteen August eighteen. That was my last semester.

425
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 3: I was taking summer class. I wanted to ask him, like, YO,

426
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: what point you like, yo, this school thing? Like I

427
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 3: was taking summer classes too, So I was like, you know,

428
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: at that point, I had my you know, my record

429
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: Travis and Drake, and I'm like, it is my last semester.

430
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 7: Let me get through it.

431
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: But I'm glad I stuck through it because at the

432
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: end of it, the last literally the last week, my

433
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: last week of college, the song went number one, you

434
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So that that just told me,

435
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: like if anything is shown meet God wanted me to

436
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: stick with it and keep going. Because I feel like

437
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: it got me so much further just being able to

438
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: be like, I got a degree and I got a

439
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: number one record. I don't think nobody else did that

440
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: in history. I remember the same week. Yeah, it was

441
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: like a college student has number one record. Remember that

442
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: the headlines for it.

443
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,560

470
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 8: Did so she put out she did the Coach Oller performance,

471
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 8: and then right after Coach she called it the Homecoming album.

472
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 8: And then at the end of Homecoming it was it

473
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 8: was like a documentary on Netflix that we watched and

474
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 8: that's the first time that the song played. And it

475
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 8: was when it was it though I can't remember. It

476
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 8: must have been in April of yo, you research that one.

477
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 8: For me, it's in April of maybe nineteen or eight,

478
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 8: somewhere around there.

479
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: I just remember a moment where the record came out

480
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: and it was I don't want I don't know if

481
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 3: it was fourth of July or what. But when I

482
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 3: went with my family, like went home, it was it

483
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: was what it was what April twenty eighteen, by the

484
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: fourth of July, I'm assuming that's when it was. When

485
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: I went with my family. They had knew the whole song.

486
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: It was crazy dance too. Yeah, and think about that. Yeah,

487
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: and it was the perfect moment. It was changed black music, right.

488
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 8: That plays every party, every barbecue, any gathering as black people,

489
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 8: that song's coming on. When you were making it, did

490
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 8: you understand like the ramifications of what you were doing.

491
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: It was a good sample too.

492
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it was three samples. Actually it was

493
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: it was three samples in there. But I think with

494
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: that song, it kind of let me prove I guess,

495
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: like how versatile I was, you know. And I was

496
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: very satisfied with showing the world that because I feel

497
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: like I had got boxed in. I take keep making

498
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: the same type beats, you know what I'm saying that

499
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: the mythis shit or whatever people wanted to criticize me about.

500
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: But I felt like when it came to the Beyonce

501
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: song and producing it, it really got to like showcase

502
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: my true talent. That's what I feel like was the

503
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 3: most achievable moment for me in that situation.

504
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 6: Okay, so let's talk about the business side. So at

505
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 6: what point do you say, Okay, I'm making music, I'm

506
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 6: making money doing music.

507
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 5: I want to start investing in tech companies.

508
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

509
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: Uh, I think what it was is me just looking

510
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: at Let's take it back to like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.

511
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: I had about like half a bigcoin, okay, and it.

512
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: Was two point sixteen, said it was.

513
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: It was somewhere around there. I had about it, spent

514
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: some of it, you know what I'm saying.

515
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 7: It was.

516
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 3: I was just trying to you know, I guess learn it,

517
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 3: learn the market.

518
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 7: You know.

519
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: I had about like some ethereum like what you on

00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: crypto nobody. I just was looking it up.

521
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

522
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 3: And this was like when I was like broke, but

523
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: I was I was making some type of money out

524
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: of me. I knew I had enough money to try

525
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: to invest in the crypto space, you know. So I

526
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 3: had a coin base account. In some way, somehow the

527
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: money got lost, you know, transferring it or they lost

528
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: the money whatever, and I had got completely discouraged, you know.

529
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 3: So you know, maybe like two years after that, I'm like,

530
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: you know, I got a little bag. Now, let me

531
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 3: try to start, you know, like putting some money in there.

532
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: I tried, you know, putting a couple a couple of

533
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: thousand here and there, you know, they went to me

534
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: getting into like early twenty one, me getting into the

535
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: the crypto space and also with the NFT too. So

536
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 3: when I got into NFTs, I had about I had

537
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 3: about uh a board eight well me and eate if

538
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: y'all for me with it, and they did like a drop.

539
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: It was some type of drop where they gave us

540
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: apecorn and it was like thirty or forty thousand dollars

541
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: at the heights.

542
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 7: I'm like, I really need to get into this.

543
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: I just made you know what I'm saying, the most

544
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: money I didn't, you know, online digitally.

545
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 7: Like.

546
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: So then that's when me and me and uh my

547
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: manager Camper and started talking more about on what we

548
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: should invest our money into. Like you know, at the time,

549
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: we had just did our uh what it is the

550
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: life insurance policy. We put some money up and it

551
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: sounds like he was watching releigion. Uh we put we

552
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 3: put some money up in and some stocks and you

553
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, uh eat what it is

554
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: ETFs And and I had bought my property. I had

555
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: about my first house cash and you know, I just

556
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: I wanted to know what else I can do get

557
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: some money in. So you know, we was like, let's

558
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 3: focus on for the next couple of months, let's focus

559
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: on trying to realize or figure out what we can

560
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: do with these investments and startups and private equity, you

561
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: know it.

562
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 8: Which makes sense as to where we first met. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

563
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

564
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: So so from there, did you start investing in companies

565
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 6: like yourself or did you start going to like people

566
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 6: like A sixteen and then let them invest for you.

567
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 3: Both We was doing a couple like I had. The

568
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: first company I had invested into was this company called

569
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: what was it earth Rise, you know, and it was

570
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: a list of learned you know what I'm saying, And

571
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: you know it was it was a good situation with

572
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: the beginning of it. But I learned to just kind

573
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: of like go more with I guess like companies who

574
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: backed by venture capitals, you know what I'm saying, Like

575
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: I'm realizing, like, all right, if this company can get

576
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: potential funding and all this and that that's better than

577
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: me trying to be a good friend and invest in

578
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: somebody ideal and you know what I'm saying, go from there.

579
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: It's business. At the end of the day, I ain't

580
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: wasting money. I ain't doing I ain't getting into this

581
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: shit to lose, you know. So that's when we got

582
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: introduced to everybody and Teresa. Yeah, we was like, all right,

583
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: what companies could we invest in to kind of get

584
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: our feet wet and learn more?

585
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 7: And then I did.

586
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: I had did sound x y Z, which is like

587
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 3: kind of similar to the NFT space that on me

588
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 3: and basically you put out a song as the NFT

589
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: and sell shares of and you can resell you know

590
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. That was the first company that I

591
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: did with a VC. Then I ended up basically getting

592
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: into path Water, which is kind of like my favorite

593
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: right now. Pathwater basically is this company they sell alk

594
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: line water, you know, out of recyclle can and they

595
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: got it in our stores.

596
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

597
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: You probably go down the street, up the street or

598
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: some CVS or Wild Greens or some get some Kroger

599
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: you know y'all know Kroger, Yeah, wherever. But Pathwater was

600
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: one of the companies. I was like, all right, I'm

601
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: kind of getting in the groove or I'm feeling it more,

602
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: you know, I'm getting comfortable with it, like just to

603
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: be able to be invested in something like this.

604
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 8: So when you when you're looking to invest in a company, like,

606
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 8: as like is it innovation or is it something that

607
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,800

Speaker 3: You know, who is a part of this company? You

611
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: know who who like I can build a good relationship

00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 6: So, like, did you have a mentor in the space

627
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 6: that was like when you first started that was educating

628
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 6: you or even who introduce you to a sixteen like

629
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 6: how'd you get their relationships or the knowledge to even know?

630
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: Well, it really was just me and me and Cambrian

631
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: just figuring out who we can get in contact with,

632
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: you know, and just trying to I guess, like meet people.

633
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: We met Derek and then who is we met that

634
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: Megan Megan, Meghan Derek, and they introduced us to other people,

635
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: you know, in addressing, and we just kind of like

636
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: went from there. So we just been learning from them

637
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 3: as we go. They know we hunger for it and

638
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: we probably like the only you know, young black dudes

639
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: in the music industry who are really serious about it

640
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: right now.

641
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 7: You know.

642
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: Everybody else kind of like, you know, getting to it

643
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: when they're a little bit older, were just trying to

644
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 3: get the hair start in it. You know.

645
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 8: It's interesting you said that because as you're talking, I'm thinking, like, Yo,

646
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 8: this is dope. Because we had a conversation with Timbaland,

647
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 8: obviously a legend in the game, especially in the world

648
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 8: of producing, and he was talking about some of these

649
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 8: states he's made because he didn't really have the education

650
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 8: and when I had you talk and shout out to

651
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 8: Turbo because I met were saying.

652
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 7: Like, yo, that's my bro.

653
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 8: And the way he was talking, I was like, yo, oh,

654
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 8: this generation is completely different, Like they're really serious about

655
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 8: it because they're getting the money. He also has a

656
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 8: diamond record and he was like, look, we know what

657
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 8: to do with the money. We're finding out what to

658
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 8: do with the money. We're not just wasting on anything.

659
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 8: So do you see that amongst other young producers coming up,

660
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 8: because I know y'all too have that connection exactly.

661
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 5: Yes.

662
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 3: I think when the young producers come up, they kind

663
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: of look up to like me, I'm from the you know,

664
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 3: the music side. But also when I get the talker

665
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: to him and they get to knowing how I am,

666
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 3: they get to looking at me like this nigga seriously

667
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: like he owned his business. So I like to put

668
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: him on game, you know, let him know, like, all right,

669
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 3: you get your bus as manager, make sure you pay taxes,

670
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 3: you need to do this, you need to do that.

671
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

672
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: If you, I would advise you sign here, don't sign there,

673
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: you know, like and so I always put the youngins

674
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 3: on game because like I'm twenty six. Now it's new

675
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: producers making hiss who sixteen you hear me, seventeen eighteen

676
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: you fear me?

677
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 7: So even my producer signing them same shit.

678
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 3: So I think now it's more about like me spreading

679
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: the information, like letting them know, like it's ways you

680
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: can invest his money rather you, you know, do it

681
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 3: this way or that way.

682
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 7: It's ways. You know, it's up to you. You know.

683
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 7: That's what I had to tell my producer.

684
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't, but I'm like, he yo,

685
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 3: You're gonna get this money in one way or another.

686
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 8: I want to talk about that because you said, like

687
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 8: your producers, yeah, and so at what point do you

688
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 8: decide to say, all right with let's create something where

689
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 8: I can actually sign the talent and help them develop

690
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 8: that sound.

691
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: I think it was when I was twenty. I'm like,

692
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: let me go on. They said it like that's like

693
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: a long time ago. Six years ago. I came up

694
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: with the idea like, you know, I need to build

695
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: my label, start my label. And you know, by the

696
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 3: time like a year after that, I was like, all right,

697
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 3: let me form my company, let me gone off, sign

698
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: the producer to start off, I signed the Narrow Loves.

699
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 3: I signed him, and then like maybe like six months

700
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: to a year later, he produces first hit with money

701
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 3: Bag Yo and make the stat the Stallion all that.

702
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: So that was all of him, like just me helping

703
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: them develop them, showing them what to do, what not

704
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: to do, work your moves, and me introducing him the

705
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: bag and him building his own relationship with him, you know,

706
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: and they just getting to that point.

707
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you opened a studio, yeah, in Nashville, talk

708
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 6: about that.

709
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: So I got a good deal on the building. You know,

710
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: it was my first commercial property. I own five properties,

711
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 3: you know in total, but this was my first commercial property.

712
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 3: So it was a different type of experience, you know,

713
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 3: just like the interest rates on that and with the

714
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 3: down payment and all it. So I had basically found

715
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 3: the good build. I had a perfect real to you know,

716
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 3: commercial realtor, and she basically found the off market property

717
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: for me and I just when it went alone and

718
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 3: gone on get it, put like fifteen percent down, you know,

719
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 3: and put like a extra fifty thousand and renovating it

720
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: and it's almost done now it don't open yet, but

721
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 3: it's almost done.

722
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 7: We got one room done.

723
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: So we you know, it was just basically like time

724
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: for that their foundation, their space for me, you know,

725
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: Cam office. You know, we just had it their space

726
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: for our producers to come in town and we just

727
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: needed that, you know we I feel like you spend

728
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand on jewelry. You spend you know what

729
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 3: I'm saying, two hundred res on cars and shit. You

730
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: go buy property, you go buy commercial you gotta just

731
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 3: buy cribs. You buy commercial properties your least money.

00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,560

Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 7: So you can do is is rent them ount you

795
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying.

796
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 6: So the idea is to rent it out to artists

797
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 6: and producers that's looking to, you know, make music. Obviously,

798
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 6: why Nashville not Memphis because Memphis is so hot right now?

799
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 5: Basic, I'm not sure.

800
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 6: I haven't heard of anybody that's come out of Nashville

801
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 6: since Young Buck.

802
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 5: No, no disrespect. Yeah, I just have heard of.

803
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 3: It, and I'm glad you asked me. So NASA is

804
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 3: known as music city. Why is it on this mississ

805
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 3: City because it's the home capital for country music and pop.

806
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 7: You know.

807
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: The thing is is, like you have all of these

808
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 3: big pop records and you know, big country artists blowing

809
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 3: up out of Tennessee. Right, Nashville, Tennessee. Why can't it

810
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 3: be first black hip hop own studio in the middle

811
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: of two. So I was like, all right, it's a

812
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 3: it's a it's a big fish, small pun all these

813
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: artists coming in town. I ain't just talking about no

814
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: rap records. I need pop.

815
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 5: Once said, not understand it now, it's not just hip hop.

816
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 7: It's music in general. And I didn't.

817
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: I didn't work plays with certain artists out there, and

818
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 3: you know, rub sodas with certain artists and got songs

819
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: cuts with certain country and pop artists. But as far

820
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: as like hip hop, like that's my niche. I'm a

821
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 3: black you know what I'm saying? Studio hip hop, hip

822
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 3: hop studio owner in Nashville, Tennessee.

823
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, when you were looking for the well, let's not

824
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 8: I want to breeze over this. You said you have

825
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 8: five properties. So I want to congratulate you on that

826
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 8: because I don't want to just breeze over. But when

827
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 8: you're looking at for the property in Nashville, we were

828
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 8: in Nashville, we went to the New African American Museum,

829
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 8: which is incredible, and you know they got the stadium

830
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 8: right next to that, and it's potential development for the

831
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 8: new NFL Stadium.

832
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 5: For Black Black Music Museum, Black Music.

833
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 8: Mu Seum, and the new Titan Stadium is potentially where

834
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 8: you looking at all those things happening and saying, this

835
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 8: is where we need to see, let's find a development

836
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 8: property here.

837
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: Because when I first I got to I got to

838
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 3: like the Nashville area twenty fourteen, you know what I'm saying,

839
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 3: Like fresh out of high school with MT like this

840
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 3: in Mumpetsboro, it's like, you know, thirty thirty minutes away.

841
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 3: So when I was in like coming to Nashville, I

842
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 3: started seeing something like what's going on basically in Myths,

843
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: which is gentrification. You started seeing them build the houses

844
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 3: in the hood where it was the projects they turned down,

845
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: the project still there. You know what I'm saying, properties

846
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: and all type of shit. So you know, six five

847
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 3: six years ago pass I'm come to Nashville, give me

848
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 3: a spot downtown, you know, rent a spot, and I'm like, shit,

849
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm paying five thousand a month this shit, and I'm

850
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: looking around the whole hood gone.

851
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 7: All the hoods in Nashville gone.

852
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: They only got a couple of projects little and they

853
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 3: done bought everything and redeveloped it. So I'm like, all right,

854
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: where the people like me who got the opportunity to

855
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 3: do this?

856
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 7: How can I be a part of this?

857
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 3: And you know by back the block like me understanding,

858
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: like all right, I got God bless me with this,

859
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 3: Let me do right with it.

860
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 7: Let me invest and be a service to this shit.

861
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, me put in the studio

862
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 3: and in Nashville one of the you know, the most

863
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: like I guess, like what you would call it, like

864
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: country music, pop music, dominant cities and putting rap in there,

865
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But it don't get me wrong,

866
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 3: it gets black studios in Nashville's with you know.

867
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 7: Artists or whatever.

868
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 3: But just me buying a property was different in the city,

869
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like that was major. So

870
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 3: on top of that, like, let me touch on Mephis too.

871
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: So while I'm on the topic, the first property that

872
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 3: I bought in Memphis was in the area where I

873
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: started seeing it Gentrify teen, maybe like ten years ago,

874
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 3: when I was in high school. It's this area like

875
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: our saun coop over there by Overton Park in Memphis.

876
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 3: Like it's like kind of about being Hampton. That's where

877
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 3: my mom and daddy from. So all that's hood. It's

878
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: nothing but hood. But it's like if you come like

879
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 3: ten blocks up, it gets like super nice, like super prestige,

880
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 3: like you know what I'm saying, kind of like the

881
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 3: almost midtown area. So they start to find the hood

882
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: like building different property. So I seen a property on

883
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 3: the other side of Summer Avenue, which is like the hood.

884
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 7: You got like straight hood on this side.

885
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I talked to my real to

886
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 3: Shannon she you know, my Memphis real to shes like

887
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 3: she she she said, a property, it's like forty thousand,

888
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna buy it right now cash. It's a what

889
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 3: you call it a turnlock turn turnkey, Like it's a turnkey.

890
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: You just buy it and changed the locks on it.

891
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 3: I'm like, shit, where is it turn key? I bought

892
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 3: that property and then like a year later, two years

893
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 3: later when I came back, the house was worth one

894
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 3: hundred thousand. So when from forty two thousand, I thought

895
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: a cash to one hundred thousand you know what I'm saying,

896
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 3: like that quick, So what I did, I started, I

897
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: got I got a rental management company, so I'm hands free,

898
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 3: pay them ten percent.

899
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 7: They running.

900
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Whatever need to be done

901
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 3: in the house, they change it, they build me. You

902
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying that they just take tempercent out

903
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 3: of the commission and I get a check from there

904
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: and I'm just.

905
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 7: Letting it build up and up and up.

906
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 3: But that basically ties back to me buying a property

907
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: in Nashville where it's like I'm on the end of

908
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: the stick when it came to like the gentrification. But

909
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 3: it also was a good deal because when I bought

910
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: the property and they got a praise, it was already

911
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: like twenty five thousand more than what I purchased it for,

912
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 3: so I already had equity in the property. The wind

913
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 3: was built. The huh, the wind was built. It was

914
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: already built then, yeah, so and it's a fairly new property.

915
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 3: It was built in twenty twenty, So you know, that

916
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 3: was like a cool investment for me.

917
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 8: When you're investing, is there a certain level or do

918
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 8: you have like an allocation?

919
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 7: I'm saying, like this is the money I made.

920
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 8: This is how much I'm investing or is it just

921
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 8: like this is a good deal, we can afford it.

922
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do it.

923
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 3: This is what I do cause I mean when one

924
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: thing you would learn about the wrap game when it

925
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 3: comes to getting money, that shit up and down and fluctuate.

926
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: You might get this amount this quarter, you might get

927
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 3: that amount the quarter. If you got it then, and

928
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: if it's an investment, gone on do it. Because I

929
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 3: just seen me turn forty thousand to one hundred thousand

930
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: in like a year or two. So I'm gonna take

931
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 3: my money now and put it somewhere else where. You

932
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 3: basically looking at it like you putting it in at

933
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: a bank account that's gonna make you two times, you

934
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, what you was gonna ten times

935
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 3: what you was gonna make and keeping it in you

936
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, just a regular bank account. So

937
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 3: I always looked at it like that, like if I

938
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 3: got the money, I got the liquid funds to gone

939
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 3: on invest in something, why not gone on do it?

940
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 6: So did you always have like this business mindset, because

941
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 6: like you're involved in tech real estate, so you are

942
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 6: as crypto like growing up. What made you like say

943
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 6: like I'm I want to be in the business.

944
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 3: I think it was just like my mama, Like she

945
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 3: was a hustler. She did her She always like hustled.

946
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 3: My daddy he you know when he got out of prison,

947
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 3: and he was a hustler. Like my dadd only worked

948
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 3: one job we were at that taco bill when it

949
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 3: was like fifteen. So he been a hustler his whole life.

950
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 3: So my seen my parents like even through the stroggles

951
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 3: like still make away.

952
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 7: You know.

953
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 3: It's just like when when I got older, when it

954
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: came to my mom, like her having her issues and

955
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 3: me having to deal with it. I had to learn

956
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: to be a man much younger, you know. So I'm

957
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: sixteen now trying to figure out how I'm buy my

958
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 3: own clothes for school and also like make sure I

959
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: give my mama some money too, you know what I'm saying.

960
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 3: So having that mindset, like at sixteen, all right, I

961
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 3: could see a beat. I can say this before one

962
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: hundred fet of dollars two hundred dollars hurt this much.

963
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: You know, I got enough money where I basically can

964
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 3: make a decent amount to get my clothes.

965
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 7: My drill for school.

Speaker 3: pay my phone bill. Like, so I'm having this business.

968
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 3: Oriit to mindset. So by the time I get to college,

969
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, I know I'm not moving back home.

970
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,479
Speaker 3: I know this old I can't really move back home.

971
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,239

Speaker 3: You know, I'm telling you, whatever you had, it would

992
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 3: get So I was trying to get it soul. But

993
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 3: you know you got to think at the time I'm

994
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 3: trying to I'm trying to basically, uh, save up to

995
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 3: get a car, pay my rent, you know, send my

996
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: mama money. Keep you know what I'm saying, keep keep

997
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 3: my drip up if you like, I'm throw So that

998
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 3: basically taught me, at eighteen how to hustle, how to

999
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 3: get my money, how to maintain and be on your own.

1000
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 3: So I have done by then, And by that time

1001
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 3: I had done probably like what most of my perers

1002
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 3: haven't even thought of doing. I was eighteen, you know

1003
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. In my life, sit by by the

1004
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 3: second by the semester started the second year, I had

1005
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 3: enough to buy my car.

1006
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 7: My uncle, it was my daddy brother.

1007
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 3: He told me if I had enough, if I made

1008
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 3: enough money to buy a car, he will go half.

1009
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 3: So my uncle gave me half on the car. Like

1010
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: he gave me like it was like the call, like

1011
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred. He gave me nine hundred dollars. So that

1012
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 3: was a plus for me because I had saved up

1013
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 3: the whole money to buy the car. He told me,

1014
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 3: if I saved it up, you know, he gonna make

1015
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: sure straight. So I did there, paid on my rint,

1016
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 3: got my refund check, you know, and just made it

1017
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 3: do what to do. But that I basically broke it

1018
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 3: down to show y'all how I maintained and learned to

1019
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 3: be more business oriented when it came to just being independent,

1020
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

1021
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you created a system for yourself because

1022
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 8: of it was a knee basis, which is now helped

1023
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 8: you with the structure of Now obviously that you you've

1024
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 8: taken more income, you still have those disciplines that you

1025
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 8: can continue doing. I wonder this though, right, this is

1026
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 8: kind of like a music but it's a business question

1027
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 8: as well. You had successful hits obviously, Diamond records, number

1028
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 8: one records, but you also are now creating a business

1029
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 8: where your producers are having hit records. So which one's

1030
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 8: more gratifying, right? So like you I give you like, yeah,

1031
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 8: Jimmy Crooks number one record, it's been for you, top

1032
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 8: five record, not yours but your producers. Yeah, which is

1033
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 8: a business. So what I mean, is it a different

1034
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 8: feeling or is it equally as gratifying.

1035
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 3: Now it's a better feeling because it's like I said,

1036
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 3: then let me know, like if I've done it with me,

1037
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 3: that's the chances was slammed Anne, then I made you

1038
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, another person another help another person

1039
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 3: get to that level, like it like hearing a lot

1040
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 3: of it twice you seeing it happen, the moment happened again,

1041
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 3: Like you don't get to see that even with the

1042
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 3: narrow seeing it happened, then you know it was it

1043
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 3: then hit me till later like I did it multiple

1044
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 3: times with multiple producers, even DJ Meetch, like producing rumors

1045
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: for him with Gucci and Little Dirt and that being

1046
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 3: a big record going go and just seeing my homie

1047
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 3: who I came up with life change and we made

1048
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: this beat together in the living room, and just seeing

1049
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 3: it like that's the moments that I care about. Like

1050
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 3: it's different than you want to see your team, you

1051
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 3: want to see your home boys and your niggas eat,

1052
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 3: but they gotta work for it too. They gotta understand

1053
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 3: this principle behind things. You ain't finna be no fucking

1054
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: leech you you not. You're not depending on another man,

1055
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 3: especially a man who made it. And you know for

1056
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 3: a fact you had more than him, you know. So

1057
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 3: the thing about my circle, they know what struggle I

1058
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 3: came from and how it overcame it, and that pushed

1059
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 3: them and motivate them enough to be like, nah, I

1060
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 3: can't bullshit. They did this he and have half the

1061
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 3: resources I had, you know what I'm saying.

1062
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 6: So let's talk about music. Going back to the music.

1063
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 6: You have legendary tagline. You stop using the tagline?

1064
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1065
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 5: Why what's your process in doing that?

1066
00:54:59,160 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 7: So?

1067
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 3: I mean still use it, I just certain certain songs

1068
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 3: I choose not to because I didn't want to burn

1069
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 3: it up. I wanted to be where if somebody listening

1070
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 3: to my my beats, they can recognize it or have

1071
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 3: the thought of damn, this kind of sounded like to

1072
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 3: take he beat and then look it up and it is.

1073
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,919
Speaker 3: It becomes more nostalgic, It becomes more of a respect thing.

1074
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 3: It becomes more of an appreciation of the art, you know,

1075
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 3: instead of hearing the tag like oh yeah, we know

1076
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 3: it's gonna be take he yah, yeah, yeah yeah.

1077
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 7: In two weeks, they probably ain't listening to it no more.

1078
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 3: But since it was more of a nostalgic mama for

1079
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 3: them finding out, like damn he did produce this, I

1080
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 3: knew I was right.

1081
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 7: Well, I knew, I heard. I knew. I figured they

1082
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 7: would take Keith beat like who becomes a first.

1083
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 5: Start using it?

1084
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 6: Because I mean that wasn't always like Timberland never had

1085
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 6: a tagline, Swiss never really had a tagline, especially at

1086
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 6: the beginning stages.

1087
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 5: He would talk on the beat so you were hear him.

1088
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 7: But I think that's what it was the.

1089
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 6: First because a rotant to have a tagline, right, these

1090
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,760
Speaker 6: are all super producers in the two thousands, But who's

1091
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 6: the first producer, because then everybody started having tagline?

1092
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 5: You know.

1093
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have to think about it, but I think

1094
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 8: what he what you just asked, is what he's trying

1095
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 8: to not do, right, because like when you hear Timberlands drums,

1096
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 8: you know Timberland.

1097
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 6: No no, no. But it's interesting if anybody can look

1098
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 6: that up.

1099
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 7: The first half I just know there's some great ones.

1100
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 5: Everybody started doing it.

1101
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 7: How about for your generation, Mustard.

1102
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 3: Must have had one, you had to Yeah, well, the

1103
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 3: first producers in my generation probably was like the lax Luga,

1104
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 3: uh south Side Away Mafia era, you know, like young

1105
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 3: Child it was.

1106
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 7: It was it was DJ Spin.

1107
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 6: While you just throw away Muster like must not He's

1108
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 6: he's from that from the era, right.

1109
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 7: He a little bit older than you? Right?

1110
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 3: Well, I was. I was, Yeah, I mean I was.

1111
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 3: I would say Mustard came in and run the era too,

1112
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,439
Speaker 3: you know. That was that was like, yeah, so muster

1113
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 3: can include Mustard, but I was thinking like the so

1114
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 3: Muster when must Sound came, it was like also tags

1115
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 3: was was already kind of like already when these producers

1116
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 3: were coming up. It was like the mixtape era. This

1117
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 3: was like you hearing this ship with DJ Drops too.

1118
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 5: Is it drama? Well, drama is not really a.

1119
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 3: So cannon can drama boy from that.

1120
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 5: With them yesterday.

1121
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 3: That's our guy, druma boy, real legend and he you know,

1122
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 3: I look up the drumming Boy because he he was

1123
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 3: He basically did what I did fifteen years before me.

1124
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 7: You got something cool? I think that.

1125
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 6: No that's that's that's a good one that I don't

1126
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 6: think Red Alert is a producer.

1127
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 8: He produced, He produced the Buggy Down Productions for sure

1128
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 8: clear Yeah, and then it changed to the sound and

1129
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 8: then it came back.

1130
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 7: I think it was.

1131
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 3: It was probably like just Blaze, one of the Blade,

1132
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 3: one of the.

1133
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 8: Earlier Yeah, just Blaze definitely just had the joint, but

1134
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 8: Kanye had the sound then David Banner David Yeah.

1135
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 3: So you know, tags had needed beats. You know, it

1136
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 3: had been around, but as far as like the you know,

1137
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 3: trap trap is fairly new trap music and like the

1138
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 3: the eight O Waight Knocks and ship like that, that's

1139
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 3: kind of a newer thing. So when when they came

1140
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 3: like got introduced, I feel like the tag just like

1141
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:50,959
Speaker 3: took over.

1142
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 8: Everybody has it now, just please?

Speaker 7: That's how everybody in the city knew me. Take he

1169
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 7: produced it? Like I had two versis of it.

1170
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 3: I had one version that I did like some text

1171
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 3: to speech ship, you know, like the I was on

1172
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 3: that Ai way TikTok. I was on that ship fifteen

1173
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 3: years ago. So I had I had I had basically

01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 3: did this ship like and like high school, like the

1175
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 3: the uh text to speech and type in take he

1176
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 3: produced it. It was like a robot British woman saying it.

1177
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 3: I just added some of fix to it, and I

1178
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 3: went from from that point on using it, and they

1179
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 3: just built a little wave. And then my sister Re said,

1180
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 3: Re said the tag in like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen,

1181
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 3: like a couple of years after I started using the

1182
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: first one.

1183
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 7: So I started using that one.

1184
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 3: And then when I got to college, I'm like, no,

1185
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm djaying and shit, man, that tag don't sound right

1188
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 3: I was very focused on getting a new tag, so

1189
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 3: I tweeted that I needed a new one. Little Juice

1190
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 3: take Beasy, whatever y'all want to call him. He stayed

1191
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 3: probably like an hour away from he had hit me up.

1192
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 3: It was like, bro, you fuck with me up some beats,

1193
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 3: I do a tag for you. I'm like, here, yeah, like,

1194
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 3: shuld send me some tags. He sent me like three

1195
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 3: or four options up to take. He fucked these niggas up.

1196
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, which wouldn't sound better? I just added, like

1197
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 3: some reverb to it, Uh, delayed to it. I'm like

1198
01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 3: this the one, and I sent them some beats. We

1199
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 3: just kept in contact then ship probably like six months

1200
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 3: later when I put it on Shoot. That's when I

1201
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 3: realized I need to keep using it. When people see

1202
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 3: you like, that's the first thing they say.

1203
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 6: They say that, that's the first thing I said.

1204
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 5: When when I'm at him, what I say, I.

1205
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 8: Was like, Yo, I'm like, ships, did you trademark that?

1206
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1207
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 7: I did. That's that's the first thing I have.

1208
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 8: That be the business part that people they do these

1209
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 8: things like Pedro once like we got a trademark that

1210
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 8: so nobody else can use it.

1211
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 7: You did that right away?

1212
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's important. Trademark your name extremely important.

1213
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 6: And you got to see if your name is already

1214
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 6: being used, because that's the worst you're using it.

1215
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 5: Six months later you're getting sued.

1216
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 7: But now I'm thinking about trademark.

1217
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 8: When you saw the shoot go crazy so in Fortnite,

1218
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 8: how that makes you feel right because you're seeing somebody

1219
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 8: take advantage of something that y'are pretty much create it.

1220
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and weren't compensated. I mean, honestly, it never really

1221
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 3: affected me. I didn't really give a fuck. I mean

1222
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 3: when it came to Block, I know, Block was pressed

1223
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 3: about it because he the one who created the dance,

1224
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 3: you know, but of course, like that's that's the industry

1225
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 3: we live in. It's full of vultures and copycats, you know,

1226
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 3: in its situation, it could be somebody again, you know

1227
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, like copy resembled or whatever. It's a

1228
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 3: part of it. So I never really got a thing.

1229
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 3: I thought it was cool actually fortnite using it, But

1230
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 3: when I realized like what they had to pay for

1231
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 3: that shit or something, I'm like, well, but like you

1232
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 3: might need to gone on and see.

1233
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 7: All the law is bro.

1234
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:47,960

Speaker 7: No, that was lit.

1236
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie that. That was an eye opener

1237
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 3: for me. That's why I really just got see it.

1238
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 3: When I got back, I was like, you know what,

Speaker 3: I'm gonna get serious about this fashion shit.

1240

01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 7: It's all based on how you do it.

1394
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 3: So it's just like me, I'm very strategic with how

1395
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 3: I'm doing I'm putting my tape together. You know, it's

1396
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 3: gonna be some extravagant ship, some versatile ship, you know

1397
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And I just want try to know

1398
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 3: like I'm focused on that, but I'm focused on the

1399
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 3: business too, the business, the music being the business.

1400
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 7: But I'm gonna do it both.

1401
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 6: Then you have it. Your future looks promising. Definitely, definitely

1402
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 6: see a lot of good things in the future.

1403
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 7: I appreciate that. Keep up the good work.

1404
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 3: I got any other questions y'all want to ask, Let

1405
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 3: me ask y'all want to ask you us do it?

1406
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 3: What do y'all see this? Like the your leisure and

1407
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 3: in five years what y'all see that?

1408
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 5: Good question?

1409
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 6: So I look at e y L as a media

1410
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 6: conglomerate that's getting bigger and bigger, so as big or

1411
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 6: bigger than Complex to the point where we could start

1412
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 6: doing a variety of different things, not just business related.

1413
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 6: And we did something like we did a show in

1414
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 6: New York Fashion Week last year, so you know, getting

1415
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 6: into fashion, getting into children, a cooking show, a travel show,

1416
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 6: different things that nature right, and really expanding it, producing

1417
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 6: content for other people, explaining the network. And the ultimate

1418
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 6: goal is to take the company public and have it

1419
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,719
Speaker 6: on the stock market. You know, have people you know

1420
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 6: now you can invest in and earn your least like

1421
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 6: you know, I think that would be dope for them

1422
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 6: because they watched our journey. They watched it start from

1423
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 6: the dining room table by iPhones, ring the bell, ring

1424
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 6: the bell on the New York Stock Market as a

1425
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 6: ticker e y L.

1426
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,679
Speaker 8: Ticker I mean ready to got the ticket. I think

1427
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 8: global domination in five years. I mean we can see

1428
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 8: it happening now. And people were kind of laying the

1429
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 8: footprints for it, right. So when you see it's in London,

1430
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 8: you see it's in Nigeria, you see it's in Egypt,

1431
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 8: you see it's in Jamaica, there's a reason we're going

1432
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 8: there because we know that the message that we're delivering

1433
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 8: is not being delivered at the rate it could be.

1434
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 8: We're trying to expect that that and we want to

1435
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 8: give it to the people in the way they can

1436
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 8: understand it but actually execute on it. And so why

1437
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 8: can't we be in al Jaziez right that reports on

1438
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 8: world news specifically for regions, And so we feel like

1439
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 8: we you know, it's a revolution for a reason, and

1440
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 8: we are the financial missionaries of it.

1441
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 6: And it dope to see people like you know, yourself

1442
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 6: and other people that's champion financial literacy in their own way.

1443
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 5: Everybody's got their own way.

1444
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,559
Speaker 6: But you know, I feel like it's picking up momentum

1445
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 6: and steam every day is getting bigger and bigger and

1446
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 6: bigger and more people talking about investing and talking about crypto.

1447
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 6: They're talking about Web three point zero, we're talking about

1448
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,640
Speaker 6: real estate. So that's important, you know what I mean

1449
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 6: because a lot for a long time that wasn't part

1450
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 6: of the conversation. So for us just to add that

1451
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,839
Speaker 6: to it, and you know, it's just like a ripple effect.

1452
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 6: You know, see different people doing their own spin on

1453
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 6: it and adding to it, and now it now becomes

1454
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 6: a real momentum for change because ultimately that's what the

1455
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 6: platform was before, to help change people's lives, to provide

1456
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 6: them with information that could change their family dynamic, you know,

1457
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 6: and change the whole you know, mindset of how people

1458
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 6: look at themselves and how people think. So that's important

1459
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,919
Speaker 6: and I feel like that's that's happening.

1460
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 8: That's why when I first when we met, I was

1461
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 8: smiling it straight. I'm like, oh you got oh you

1462
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 8: get it. Yeah, oh you really get it. But you

1463
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 8: getting it. There's gonna be a trickle effect as the

1464
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 8: young guys that are watching you trying to follow the

1465
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 8: path that you laid. And even though guys that are

1466
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 8: older than you, oh, like wait, this young guy's figured

1467
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 8: it out. Oh we need to tap in with him,

1468
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 8: or we need to figure out what he knows. What

1469
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 8: changes everybody's trajectory. You know what I'm saying. I show

1470
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 8: that for sure.
