Speaker 1: Okay, my nephew, Nissan Nassan? Hello? But what's the connection though?

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Like as far as management, I know you have your

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: thing going on label all of that.

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you how it started. So my

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: studio having studios, you heard of it, the trick I

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: made it kind of like a hub for the younger

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: guys to come in and develop. And he was one

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: of the guys that was around. He just happens to

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: be my nephew. And he also just happens to be

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: the son of one of our prominent legends. I can't

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: even put into words how important he is to the city.

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: R I p proof. So if you look at his face, yes,

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: the exact same face like him. Yeah, So that's the

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: connection there. So this is this is my baby, you

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

23
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: So he waits.

24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: They probably could take me, but I'm never going to

25
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: try him.

26
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: So big money, you know, and actually I love Proof,

27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Like I knew Proof personally. Also, when I was on

28
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Shade forty five, he used to call in coming from

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: the casino with his mom, like when the show started,

30
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: he was leaving the casino and he was just calling,

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: like to check in while he was with your grandmother

32
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: his mom at the time. But I've been on tour

33
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, So he definitely was one of my

34
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: favorite people, like when he was alive, and we've had

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: some crazy moments, you know, on the road, being on

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: tour in Vegas. But he always was a type of

37
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: person who really held it down. Everyone liked him.

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, it's so crazy how many like people he

39
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: reached and just was like such a character too. I

40
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: find it so amazing. That's crazy that you knew and

41
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: then like all over the world.

42
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because you know, I used to work for

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: eminem and be on Shae forty five and so, and

44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I know your dad also was in a group with

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Jay Dilla too at one point, so.

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: He was in a group with me too. Well, yeah,

47
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: we were called the head Shrinkers.

48
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: Did I ever tell you that you didn't know that

49
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: the head Shrinkers?

50
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we never we never made any music like under

51
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: that group name. But yeah, that was like that was

52
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: like his thing. He just make groups with people.

53
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: So what you guys didn't make any music? Yeah, it

54
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: was way back in showcas Shrinkers. I want to know

55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: what the thinking was when you all were sitting down, like,

56
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: what's a good name for the group?

57
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: Yo? Who came up with that title? Can you know?

58
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: Was it? Was it Hussain west side Hussein or you don't?

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: You don't remember that. I was thinking to myself, I

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: don't really like the name, but all right, yeah we

61
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: can do it. We just we just started.

62
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Pre pause and the sign for you? Do you prefer like,

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: when you think about it, would you like to be

64
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: in a group? Would you prefer being a solo artist?

65
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: I tried the group thing. It's it's not for me

66
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: because I'm so like, I'm so vision strong, and I'm

67
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: weird about controlling other people's like journeys or like the

68
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: entire creative idea. So I'd rather just like steer my

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: own ship. So like I like the solo thing. Prefer

70
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: that to me.

71
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: That's his big his biggest strength, like his ability to

72
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: maintain quality control, the way that he sees the vision

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: from point A all the way to Z. You know,

74
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: he shoots his own videos, He edited them himself. He

75
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: does everything himself, everything that we weren't able to do

76
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: back when I was his age because of technology, you

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

78
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: It's that amazing fact that you don't even have to

79
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: own a studio to like.

80
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Record the things that he's able to pull off visually.

81
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: It would literally cost two hundred and fifty three hundred

82
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: thousand dollars back in the.

83
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: When you were saying, like one of your videos like

84
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: half a million dollars.

85
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Like I could do that for a.

86
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: Thousand crazy, that was nothing. That was the standard.

87
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Which video was half a million dollars on Rock City?

88
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: Okay, rock City because we did we did some stuff

89
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: and posts and host production that costed a lot of

90
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: money back then.

91
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, isn't it People used to spend like a

92
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: million dollars on videos back now. That's unheard of.

93
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: That's like my videos and all of that.

94
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: Andy william I remember because I used to work with

95
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: Wu Tang and I think when they did try and

96
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: that video and they were like, why did we spend

97
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: a million dollars on the video? That was the move

98
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: back then, that was the wave back and people like

99
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: to say that, like this video was a million dollars.

100
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't spend a million, and I say it.

101
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Now. Of course, we're also talking about three to one

00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: it was billions floating on.

160
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that might be nice for it's

161
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: your project all the way done. I know it's coming

162
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: out next month, Like.

163
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're making like a few little minor tweaks, but

164
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: for the most part, yeah, it's pretty much done.

165
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: Yep.

166
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: And it's still called Arafoil.

167
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: You have Ara four four yup, dropping like April twenty fifth,

168
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: April twenty fifth. Yeah, yeah, April twenty fifth, the official day.

169
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.

170
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: How are you with being patient? Because I know that

171
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: you've been working on things for a few years now,

172
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: like three or four years. But how is that for you?

173
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: Because I know you're probably like, come on, let's go.

174
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be like it geared over here. It's just

175
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: like you know what I'm saying, because yeah, I'd be

176
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: wanting to like just go, go go. But I'm realizing

177
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: because I'm just not getting this that like a lot

178
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: of stuff take like Royce tells me all the time too,

179
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: just like line your ducks up in a row and

180
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: like make sure that all the shots that you shoot

181
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: are going to hit. You know what I'm saying. So

182
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: I'm becoming more patient day by day.

183
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: I have too, So I think that on the Radar

184
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: freestyle probably really had you like I need to do

185
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: something exactly exactly.

186
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, after like just seeing all the attention from now,

187
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, what's next. We gotta go, we gotta go,

188
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: we gotta go. Just I so yeah, but nah, I

189
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: got a great team these guys, and they keep me,

190
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: they keep me in line as far as that.

191
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: So now I do have to ask you in that

192
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: freestyle when you riped that picture of Courtae, what was

193
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: that about? I'm curious.

194
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, it's so funny, bro, I

195
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 3: don't even got no problem with you. I actually like

196
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 3: him as a person. It's something I me and my

197
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: like I picked on him like a few years ago,

198
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 3: and then like my fans was just like they loved it.

199
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: So I just kept doing. It's like an inside joke.

200
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: But I told myself like, dang, that's messed up.

201
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: That's me.

202
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna stop so shut out of cordaough.

203
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Cordat is mine business. I know you were talking me

204
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: about the YBN movement previously, so it's more about the

205
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: movement and right.

206
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: Right right, it's just all more more so tho. It's

207
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: rooted in competition. It's not like no, like weird bfly

208
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: yo when I see you.

209
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: It's not personal you know.

210
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: Like, it's none of that. It's just more so competitive sport.

211
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: Okay, did he ever hit you? Like, bro? What did

212
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: I do?

213
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 2: Like?

214
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: No, no, No, We'll talk one day.

215
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: He probably at the studio ripping the picture.

216
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Because the worst you have a good relationship with Corde.

217
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: I love cord Yeah, I love corda. He's but he's

218
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: if I didn't know that he was so emotionally he's

219
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: very emotionally intelligent, you know what I mean. So that's

220
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 2: why I didn't think. I didn't think anything of it.

221
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: And you know how rappers are when when they're young.

222
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: It was the same way. Yeah, I was doing more

223
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: than ripping pictures up.

224
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: Yes you were, and the whole crew was Okay, you

225
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: guys were going at it. Do you feel like nowadays

226
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to hip hop? We had this conversation

227
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: at work some people t I was talking about how

228
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: it's over saturated and too many people have access to

229
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: make music or do you think it's a good thing

230
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: that people can now not even have to have a

231
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: studio or a machine behind them.

232
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: I think I think access comes with a price, you

233
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So I definitely think the oversaturation,

234
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: you're going to pay on some level for that. But

235
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 2: there are upsides to it, you know what I mean.

236
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: There are a lot of advantages that these guys have

237
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: by having that kind of access. The only thing I

238
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: don't understand is a generation with so much information at

239
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: their fingertips and so much access to information. This seems

240
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: like the generation with the least amount of knowledge on

241
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: like the business and just things in general, and.

242
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Even like maybe sometimes a history of hip hop toio

243
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: and artists that came before them.

244
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: They're the rewriters. They want to rewrite everything they want to,

245
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like they want to be

246
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: the first of their kind. So I mean it has

247
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: upsides in its downside. So I just love watching to

248
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: do both.

249
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: And it's sound for you. I know you have a

250
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: good relationship with Paul Rosenberg, Eminem's manager too. He tell

251
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: me about you a long time ago. Oh really, yeah,

252
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: he said, he said you were really dope. So what

253
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: type of guidance is there? Is there anything that you

254
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: might want.

255
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 3: To do as far as that, well, like just Paul

256
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: in general, Yeah, I'm I'm down. I'm game for whatever,

257
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I think it took me

258
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: time to grow though, Like when Paul first discovered me,

259
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: I was just like somebody who's just like really good

260
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 3: at rapping, but I didn't have myself figured out. And

261
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: I think like now more so I understand who I am,

262
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: just like, not only as an artist, but just as

263
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: a person. And there's more, there's more to steer and

264
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: guide now. So it's like now Paul, he's you know,

265
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: like he's helping and playing a part. But it's easier

266
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: now if you know what I'm saying, that he has

267
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: he understands what he's working with. So yeah, he's a

268
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: big homie for sure. He's always in my corner.

269
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: That's an interesting thing, Like you can be really great

270
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: at rapping, but then.

271
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it's like it's a million people rapping. I

272
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: went through it exactly, like, yeah, good at rapping, going

273
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: to do I remember, yeah, like doing the show, I

274
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 3: was just rapping so fast. I'm like, yo, nobody cares

275
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: and I's like and then I was just like yeah,

276
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, I got a chance.

277
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: How I do this?

278
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah that's funny. You just had that realization. And for you,

279
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: you said you've been through that too, races.

280
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. When I first got into the business, I

281
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: thought it was just about how good you cor rap?

282
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

283
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: So I was definitely not. Sometimes the best rappers can't

284
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: make the best songs really exactly.

285
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: And I realized that there were so many different facets

286
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: to the skill set for me to pursue and just

287
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: try to get better at I just knew I wasn't

288
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: really Marshall literally grabbed me and threw me into the business,

289
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like I was twenty years old,

290
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know how to make albums. I just knew

291
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: how to rap really well at open mics, right, you know.

292
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: So all of my development took place in the process,

293
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: right there in the moment, you know, right there in

294
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: front of people in the public eye.

295
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: So you gotta love it. Like being so young in

296
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: the game like you were. You guys have had like

297
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: your falling outs and then coming back together.

298
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: And then come on and you know, I'm a cancer.

299
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: Don't make me. Don't make that.

300
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: Look you have a Grammy nominated album for Best Rap Album.

301
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: You know that's a that's a big deal. And y'all

302
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: might be doing another project together.

303
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: You're talking about me and me and Marshall.

304
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: Well, you and Marshall, I know you and and Premiere are.

305
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, me and Preme working on it's a joint, a

306
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: joint thing that we do together called Prime. So we're

307
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: working on the third installment right now. As far as

308
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 2: me and Marshall, you know, all he has to do

309
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: is just send me a text message and I'm to

310
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: the studio whenever he's ready. We pretty much just do

311
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: that on his time. And he's always on some type

312
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: of time, you know what I mean. Like he's always

340
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: out there when I was in Detroit last time. I

341
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: loved that.

342
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: I love to see that.

343
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And how honesty is it? Even his journey, Like

344
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: we look at look at you, Rory. It's like not

345
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: drinking no more, being healthy, you got your business together.

346
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: How have things changed? I know we've talked about this before,

347
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: but now it's been an even longer journey for you.

348
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just I'm a little bit more adjusted to

349
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: it now, you know what I mean. But everything in

350
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: my life changed when I stopped. When I stopped drinking,

351
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: you know, alcohol was like the common denominator, you know.

352
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: Once I removed that, everything kind of went into the

353
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: form that it should have been to begin with. I

354
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: mean everything, even something that's minute is driving home and

355
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: not being pulled over by the police. Noman, I used

356
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: to think that they were targeting me.

357
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: You're like, no, I'm just drunk.

358
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they pulled me over because I'm black dog, you

359
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Not just a baseball cap, you

360
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's like, as soon as I

361
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: stopped drinking and driving, I stopped even getting pulled over

362
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: by the police.

363
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, what, have you spoken to Obi Trice at all?

364
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't, but I I bumped into him

365
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: a couple of times, but it wasn't an environment where

366
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: we could really like kick it. So I haven't had

367
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: a chance to really like kick it with him.

368
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: But I've heard some things, right because I saw him

369
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: on social media, I wasn't really sure what was going on,

370
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: but I was like, I feel like somebody need to

371
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: reach out to him or something like.

372
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: I've gotten that feeling a couple of times watching him.

373
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's a that's a slippery uphill slope, you

374
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like, I don't want to step

375
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: on toes or say anything that's going to offend anybody,

376
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: and I certainly don't want to I know how us

377
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: as addicts, we get defensive when people come at us

378
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: in any kind of way about our problems, you know

379
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: what I mean. So if ever, the opportunity for me

380
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: to speak to him, if he ever, you know, if

381
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: he ever feels the need to speak to somebody, I'm

382
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: certainly somebody he can definitely reach out to. I'm always

383
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: available for that, you know what I mean. That's like

384
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: a big thing for me too as well, just not

385
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: only being sober, but taking the steps through my sobriety

386
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: helping other.

387
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: People, you know, yeah, because you've been there, you know,

388
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: are there people that you have to go double back

389
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: and be like you know what you were right?

390
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: Like yeah, And it's so tough to do because you

391
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: don't want to seem like one of those people who

392
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: got sober and now you're coming from a place of judgment,

393
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I'm sober now, So everybody

394
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: need to get sober. You know, you gotta kind of

395
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: let them. People do things on their own terms for

396
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: a minute, and then when they ask you for your help,

397
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: you know, that's when you come in with the with

398
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: the good words.

399
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: They have to be ready for that assistance.

400
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: A lot of people who don't necessarily understand addiction. They

401
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: think that people close to the attic can just fix them.

402
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: Why don't y'all, Why don't y'all get him on the

403
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: right track. Why don't y'all. Nothing anybody can do but

404
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: the person. The person has to be ready, first, first

405
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: and foremost to stop, and then you know from there

406
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: great things.

407
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Can happen and a sign for you. Do you keep

413
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,600

Speaker 3: off my balcony too. Like we had like this two

420
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,200

421
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: like never cross this lawne, don't ever go in here.

422
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 3: I don't know why black families be like, don't.

423
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: Sit on my.

424
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: He seemed. We grabbed the nice pillows off the couch,

425
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: threw them on the floor, and we jumping off the

426
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: second the second floor into the like off the balcony

427
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 3: into the pillows on their nice pillows, and he just

428
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: walked in the front door. He looked at me. He

429
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: gave me some money to leave. I'm like, yo, you know,

430
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: just random stuff, just a little random stuff.

431
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: It was the significance of the money.

432
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, go buy something that sounded like proof. Yeah,

433
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

434
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: It probably just came from some money, like break everybody

435
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: off with some money.

436
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: He was a character.

437
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: Man, do you think, like when did you realize that

438
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: this is what you wanted to pursue?

439
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: Actually, like, man, my second time in eighth grade, Man,

440
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: I was, I was. I was a knucklehead, but like

441
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: just just like freestyling on the back of the bus,

442
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 3: like you know how they doing, like wilding out, just

Speaker 3: like little one liners. And every time it was my

444
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 3: turn to go, like people would be super excited. I'm like,

445
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 3: a I may not seem like it, but I'm like

446
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: an ego centric dude. So like, I like, I'm a leo,

450
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: just like, yo, I want to keep doing this. So

451
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,880

Speaker 3: I remember Yachty. He was like he said. We sat

454
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: at the lunch table. He was like, bro, your song

455
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,840

471
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,639

472
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: just turned into like this big, like random weird weirdness

00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: in our DM. But yeah, yeah cool, I ain't mean U.

Speaker 1: So what do you think is like for you when

477
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: you think about the plan as far as coming out,

478
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: because I know you're thinking about now the patience that

479
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: you have to have, but also putting a project together,

480
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: having some great people in your corner who have been

481
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: in this business for some time. Where do you see?

482
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: What do you visualize for in the sun?

483
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: Man?

00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: I just really right now because I me, I've always

485
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 3: been a person. I just like think one step at

486
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: a time. Next it's like a big goal for sure,

487
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: Like just want to be a like super big artist

488
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: and just known like almost like a renaissance man because

489
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: I do so many different things. Like Rus was saying, like,

490
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 3: I'm I'm directing the video, I'm taking it home them

491
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: editing it. It's like half of the beats I'm producing myself,

492
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: recording myself. You know what I'm saying, and I just

493
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: want to show kids more so just like be a

494
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: role model that like there's a will, there's a way,

495
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: and just like just be yourself.

496
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 2: Man.

497
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: It's like I'm in here with like stickers on my

498
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: faces and stuff and like just weird stuff. You know

499
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Just be yourself. Whatever you feel like doing,

500
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: go do that, blah blah blah. So it's more so

501
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: just like what I want to mean to the world.

502
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: This is one of the means, you know, I want

503
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: to set that example for kids who look at me.

504
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: And you grew up in Atlanta.

505
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: I did, yep, so when did you?

506
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: When did you?

507
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: I went back to Detroit. So after my dad passed

508
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: I was like seven years old, like two thousand and six,

509
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: we went down south because my grandma lived in Atlanta.

510
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: So I moved back twenty twenty one to Detroit. I

511
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: was just like, man, because at this point of my

512
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: at the point of my life, I was like kind

513
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: of like running from the idea and the fact that

514
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: who my father was. I was weird about that because

515
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: I feel like people will try to like neglect the

516
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: credit and just be like, yo, you ain't do this

517
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: that that that, But then I realized, like, yo, that's

518
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: actually a gift and a lot of people love my

519
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: father and it's home court advantage, and it's like why

520
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: neglect like the blessing that you were you were giving,

521
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: Like not everyone has that hand, you know what I'm saying,

522
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: or the blessing. So yeah, I came back in twenty

523
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: twenty one and just like linked up with these guys

524
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 3: and it's been to my advantage, you know what I'm saying.

525
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: I learned a lot from these guys.

526
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's important to continue that legacy because

527
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Proofs never got to exactly to really live up to

528
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: his full potential, right for sure, you know, unfortunately, but

529
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: he had.

530
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: It all yeah exactly.

531
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so now you're like the next do you

532
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: feel like ever you get any type of like I know,

533
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: sometimes it's weird, but like some signs or do you

534
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: pay attention.

535
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 3: To those type things? Maybe not, but like no, I

536
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: definitely do. I feel like he's with me, just like

537
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: on this journey throughout the entire time. I pulled over

538
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: on the hollway the other day, bro and just cry,

539
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: like just thinking about him because I just feel like

540
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: he's so proud of me, and it's like I'm trying

541
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: to cry right now, hold on too if I cried,

542
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: because this up, it's okay, now I'm playing. But yeah,

543
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: it's like because I know, like you're saying, like he

544
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: didn't get to do a lot of the things I

545
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: know he wanted to do. He did a lot, but

546
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 3: like he had a solo career that he wanted to

547
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: like blossom fully, and I feel like I'm kind of

548
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: getting to like I'm starting to live out that dream

549
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 3: for him, like for us.

550
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I remember he was really adamant about wanting

551
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: to make sure he was he did it independently, so

552
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: nobody was thinking like, oh I got this label to

553
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: really prove that when you think about being independent or signing,

554
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on how you want to do it.

555
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: See that's where I'm have to disagree with my man

556
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: a change. Yeah exactly. I like I like having like

557
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: a machine and label behind me. Like I said, I'm

558
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 3: someone who deals with so many things on the creative front.

559
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: I like the idea of just like having the business

560
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: on the back end and then like they just setting

561
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: things up and I just have to like show up

562
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: and just be myself and you know what I'm saying.

563
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: So, yeah, paying attention to the business. But as long

564
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: as you have good people in your corner, you know,

565
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: they could tell you about all the mistakes they made.

566
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: They can make sure you have everything right.

567
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: I made them all.

568
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

569
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you look back, some of the things that

570
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: you did, like, what would you say are summer like,

571
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: let's just say the three biggest mistakes you.

572
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: Made, the three biggest mistakes taking taking that first drink

573
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: with doctor dre That's that was. That's my magnum opus

574
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: of mistakes.

575
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: That was your first drink, yes, doctor years old? Do

576
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: you know what you were? What were y' all dorinking

577
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: Hennessy or I remember.

578
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: That Bacardi straight CARDI like or something? Is there a

579
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: Briccardia like? I don't know something Bacardi Marshall. Marshall had

580
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: me drink.

581
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so it was that drink.

582
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: What's another? What's another classic one?

583
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh? Balls out?

584
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: Oh? Thanks for reminding me of that?

585
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: What do you do?

586
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: No, probably we want to hear that story, probably pulling

587
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: out a rocket launcher on camera.

588
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: Oh, that's great.

589
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: That was that was a big one. Okay, that one

590
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: haunts me still. Thank you. I appreciate that. I need

591
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: to hear some good things about my my mishaps.

592
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: What happened that day?

593
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: Benzinoino, he pulled out a He pulled out a big

594
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: gun and a video clip toward me. So I pulled

595
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: out an even bigger gun video clip toward him. That

596
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 2: was so silly. But then what was what?

597
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: What?

598
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: What would you say? It's the third one? Can you

599
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: know it's been so many?

600
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: Mm hmm man, yeah, sure, where do you get a

601
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: ride here at the front.

602
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: Detroit Brojack.

603
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 2: The third one was if I could, if I can

604
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: just group this act all together in one, like the

605
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: infidelity like with me, like the way that I kind

606
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: of came into the business and kind of did as

607
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: the as the romans do, and I did a lot

608
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: of things against my better judgment.

609
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Seems like it's normal because you want to fit in things, right.

610
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: Like the drink with doctor Dre. I just said yes

611
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: because I didn't want to say no. It's not like

612
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to drink, you know. So I never really

613
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: been like the kind of guy who like chases women

614
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: around like a bunch of I never needed a whole

615
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: bunch of women, and I certainly never liked the obligation

616
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: or responsibility of having to micro manage all of these

617
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: different people calling my phone right being demanded my time.

618
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: It was a very very stressful, self inflicted stress type

619
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: of situation that I put myself into. And then on

620
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: top of that, just the disloyalty to my wife, who

621
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: I love very much.

622
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad that y'all got that back on track even

623
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: stronger hopefully now.

624
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: I almost lost it.

625
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember in a situation like that. Does she

626
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: still bring up things from the past. It's hard not to.

627
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: We finally got past the point of her doing that,

628
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: but that that drove me crazy too. But that's one

629
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: of the things that you got to go through because

630
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: you can apologize, you know, which is great. That's a

631
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: great thing, that's a noble thing. But that's step one,

632
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: step one. Those are just your words, not worry about

633
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: your actions. Your actions have to line up for a

634
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: long enough period of time to where that thought is

635
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: in her head anymore. And this is a.

636
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: Process, right and family matters a lot.

637
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, Yeah, you don't realize it when

638
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: you first come into the business.

639
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: Somebody that was with you through so much, and that's.

640
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: Why I like something that you said earlier. It was

641
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: just when you were talking about bringing your whole self

642
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: across on camera, because I felt like I divided myself

643
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: up into many different people to fit into different frames,

644
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, instead of just being the

645
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: same Royster five nine all the time, no matter what

646
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: room I walk into, the same Ryan Montgomery, you know

647
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: what I mean. I should be able to talk the same,

648
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: I should be able to dress the same. I should

649
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: be able to act the same. Like my behavior and

650
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: my demeanor and everything. Shit totally be applical, applicable, applicable

651
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: to any situation.

652
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: Right you know, Listen and Nissan, you said something in

653
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: your on the Radar freestyle too, what why are you

654
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: looking like?

655
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: You said it?

656
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: I felt about your falling out with your mom.

657
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah over money, right, yeah, I mean it

658
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: gets it gets stressful. I feel like being an entertainer,

659
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: I think so many people have an expectation of you,

660
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: or like a perception of you that because I'm still

661
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: in the early stages. So it's like, man's ain't got

662
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: it like that right now, you know what I'm saying,

663
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: But like, yeah, it's it's those things that can create

664
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: over wedge between like just relationships. You know what I'm saying,

665
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: Like one thing turned into another thing miscommunication, and like, yeah,

666
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: eventually fell out, but we we we we've we've reconciled

667
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: and like improved our relationship.

668
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: Bro, that's good.

669
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

670
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Did she hear that and was like, come on son, like, uh,

671
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: you know.

672
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: It's crazy. She she actually messages me and is like

673
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: you think you corract n She's like, you think you're sweet? Hunh.

674
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'm right, but I'm not. She

675
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: must have missed it or something.

676
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, okay, sorry, you know where

677
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: we're at.

678
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 3: So maybe that's what it was. She's not going for

679
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: the negative feeling.

680
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's good. I'm glad to hear that. Man.

681
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing just to see the two of you here together.

682
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: And so listen, three one, three day. I will be

683
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: in the building at the Pistons game. Also, I'm gonna

684
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: be wearing my new hoodie, giving me something to where

685
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, maybe I don't wonder, but it's gonna

686
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: be fun regardless.

687
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: Even if I got to get out there on the

688
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: floor and play myself.

689
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to borrow some jewelry for

690
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: this game or something. I could be on it.

691
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna be on the floor, right, Yeah, yeah,

692
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: you know that Detroit. Nobody does it like Detroit in

693
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: terms of just visual display of glitteriness.

694
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be interesting to you, for

695
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: you and to sound too, because now you have that

696
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: Detroit side of you, that Atlanta's side of you. Those

697
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: two things coming together is pretty interesting.

698
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bridging it'd be weird. It's like because in a

699
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: way it's weird. It's like, in a way, I feel

700
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: like I grew up in Atlanta, so I know a

701
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: lot about Atlanta and I'm like learning a lot about

702
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: Detroit now that I'm back and I'm older. So yeah,

703
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: just like bridging those two things make for a unique

704
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: blend for sure. I don't I don't know who I

705
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 3: am who has better food at.

706
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: It's hard, Okay, So look, I'm gonna say this. I

707
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: feel like Detroit is underrated when it comes to food.

708
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: I will say that there's some amazing restaurants in Detroit.

709
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: But Atlanta, you know, it's like a restaurant by restaurant

710
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: based basis, Like there's places when I go to Atlanta,

711
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going, you know, to eat at certain places,

712
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: but Detroit shows me a lot of love, and so

713
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: I think after the game, have you been to Craig

714
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: Cafe yet?

715
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: Creg Cafe?

716
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, Like we gotta go there. You got it's

717
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: like a speak easy and they have a secret like

718
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: you have to have like a password to get to

719
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: the back room. And it's huge when you get into

720
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: the back of it. But yeah, where's that.

721
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: You know?

722
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't be know. I think it's on Jefferson. I

723
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta look it up for you guys. But

724
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: after the game, we got to have some fun. Shout

725
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: out to my guy prevailed to who opened up a club.

00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: Prev We're gonna have something. We're gonna be outside on

727
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: three one three days.

728
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: That place looks amazing.

729
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a lot of money alligated. You got to

730
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, like on the chairs, I'm like, what's

731
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: happened when somebody stands on it?

732
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: He said he said that the court was inspired by

733
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: my studio. Did he ever tell you that?

734
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yes he did. I just have

735
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: his back.

736
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm wondering as he's just trying to blow my head of.

737
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 1: What probably was serious. I can't see him.

738
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: Just he initially asked me to do the interior design

739
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: on it. Okay, he asked me to do it, and

740
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna do it, and then I realized that

741
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: it's too big of a task. So I hooked him

742
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: up with Nephew. I hooked him up with nephew walk.

743
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: He's actually designing my house in Brooklyn.

744
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so that house is going to be amazing.

745
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. But I think they didn't end up

746
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: working together because Prevail is on go mode and he

747
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: didn't give her time to Yeah, but Detroit is I

748
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: feel like so much opportunity and like so many amazing

749
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: things you know, that are happening there. So I think

750
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: it's dope. For how do you feel like having moved back?

751
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: And just it feels good. It's like it's a lot

752
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: different than Atlanta, but like being around these guys and

753
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: just like seeing different things. It's like Detroit culture is

754
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: way different too to me. So I don't know, it's fire.

755
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it a lot.

756
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: I almost don't call me for this butt almost. I'm

757
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: starting to like it more than Atlanta. Is cool.

779
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: He's a young artist in Detroit. He signed a Monarch

780
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: as well, I mean, I'm sorry not as well. He

781
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 2: signed the Monarch he signed to as Symbol Atlantic. So yeah,

782
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: I executive produced his album, So I like working in

783
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: that capacity now. As far as the executive side, I'm

784
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: not all the ways sold on just jumping diving all

785
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 2: the way into into that side of it, just because

786
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: I still have aspirations as an artist myself, okay, And

787
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to like both. Yeah, yeah, I don't

788
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: want to. I don't want to try to multitask in

789
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: that way. Anytime previously that I've tried to multitask, I

790
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: didn't really hit the mark that I wanted to hit.

791
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 2: And I don't want, you know, like, I don't want

792
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: other people's careers intertwined with my inability to be able to,

793
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: you know, do a whole bunch of things at once.

794
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: I like diving into one thing and kind of like

795
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: hyper focusing on that until I hit my mark and

796
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: then moving on to the next thing.

797
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Premier said, you call him all hours of the night,

798
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: just like.

799
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: What ideas when I'm in album mode. Okay, when I'm

800
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: an album mode. So right now, this is the first

801
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: time in the history of me and prem working with

802
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: each other that I've been up to my ear in

803
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: prem beats that I haven't even gotten to yet.
