1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I got a lot of things in the works,

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: but I'm so I own. I'm one fourth the owner

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: at Creup Camp Creek Talk, You'll Talk, been doing that

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: now for a year. Got a candle line distributed through

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Simply Naked Candle Cold Black, owned off of Walker Street

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: by Peter Street. Been doing that since twenty twenty one.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to get into acting, but wanted to

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: be a great actor. So I now have the time,

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: once I deliver this last album, to become a prolific

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: great than that. And then, Bro, you know, I also

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: like to be uncomfortable because you can't say what's next,

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: because that's you. But when you don't know what's next,

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: that's God.

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: You know.

15
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: Faith isn't believing what you can't see music, Bro, I could,

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: I could write a I could do an album tonight

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: if I wanted to. You know what I'm saying, And

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: I want to look done. This is my last official album,

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: doing the press, going to tour the album.

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 3: I'm still to forever. Yeah, album wise, my last my last.

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:02,760

00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: Every now and yeah might.

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Catch the Holy Gott mixtape and y'all can have it

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: if y'all want it. Oh, but this is my last

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: official album, and I want to go out.

26
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: On my own term independent from here on that.

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: It's been independent, that's the thing. It's been independent. But

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: this is my last who rode doing it big the

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: way where it's it's a moment because it's just like

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: I've done everything, and also I just like to I'd

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: rather leave before it's my time than that this is

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: my time. I hate seeing artists. I hate seeing athletes

33
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: doing it one because they have to to survive. Two

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: they surpassed their prime. And now you know Michael Jordan

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: who used to drop sixty three and a given night,

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: it's only able to get eighteen nineteen. Bigga. Don't want

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: to quit, Yeah, but sometimes you just gotta know transition

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: to just to just to leave on top before the

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: internet hates you before Instagram or you didn't tweet it

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: the wrong thing or didn't.

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: We need you man.

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, they they looking to write you off though

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: they look at it's entrepreneurship too. I've always wanted to

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: be a Muncal too. I never wanted to just be Nah,

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: this is just a gateway to sell you this and

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: to pitch you this, and then having children has made

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: me also wanted to diversify my portfolio. You know what

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't want to have to just go

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: on tour to make money. I want to go to sleep,

50
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: like you said, and put a little something in the

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: stock that I learned, and I get money sleeping in

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: my bed or playing mad at the crib. It's just

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: that time to really, you know. I take care of

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: the family, bro, take care of a lot of people.

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 5: Bro.

56
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this music business is more fickle than it's

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: ever been. I got three hundred million streams worldwide in

58
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: those not bots, cause now I think everything is starting

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: to come to fruition as far as can you buy

60
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: certain things and pay for certain views? Is not that right?

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: But I ain't. I ain't make a million dollars off

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: three hundred million strange. And I wrote every song, vocal

63
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: arrange myself, sequence the project paid for the studio time,

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: which means Howard used to be the math is not

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: math and one plus one is not tooing for me, right,

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: And when you understand the evolution of the game and

67
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: how it's never really beneficial for us anyway, it was

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: they they they oh we gotta Sammy okay, And and

69
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: then Sammy runs out, then we go get this and

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: try to make him say right now. Fortunately for me,

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: God said otherwise, there's only one me, And I'm grateful

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: for that for sure, for sure, and I'm humble for that.

73
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: But I understand you evolve or you evaporate, and I

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: would hate and dread the day that bro this album.

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm like twenty nine songs in I started a year ago,

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: and it's I promise you, I'm dropping a forty piece,

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: maybe a fifty piece and put it out there. It's

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be like her you just like Nigga. Here you go. Yeah, yeah,

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: like a a side B side, honestly for sure, because

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: every day is a song. You just gotta look for it, right.

81
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: And the more I keep living, the more what I

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: have to sing about. But I'm also tired of manifesting

83
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: from a spiritual place right the things that I write

84
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: that's coming into fruition. I write my best from pain

85
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: and sorrow, but it might heal you, it might heal you.

86
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm tired of experiencing that I got a beautiful, two

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: beautiful little girls I look at every day that I

88
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: just wanna be my healthiest self mentally, spiritually, financially, and

89
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: then bigger than that. Freedom free from expectations, free from

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: having to be perfect, free to make a flaw, free

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: to make a mistake, and uh, leaving on my own

92
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: terms is the best way for me to do it.

93
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: If understand that if three four five years from now,

94
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about music, bro one hundred three thousand

95
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: retired and he came back playing the flute, you know

96
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, so true, and and and he he

97
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: had this whole That's what I'm saying. So when you

98
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: say retired, that's a that's a infant to me. It's

99
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: just I'm going out on my own terms. But however,

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: if God tells me to come back and create another

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: R and B project, so and I've lived a life

102
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and I have the content to do, so I'll come back.

103

Speaker 2: I think you built for it, though, I think it's

109
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: built for it. Though.

110
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: Last no, I'm built for everything.

111
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: You built for it.

112
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: Man, you know exactly what you supposed to do along.

113
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I play all some joints for for sure. Sure,

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: but that's all. It's not like A. It's never uh.

115
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Ain't no quitting me.

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: Ru Yeah.

117
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: We all have our days. R. You feel what I'm

118
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: saying where you're tired or you're mentally and spiritually depleted.

119
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: But uh, this is an A. It's how we're supposed

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 1: to celebrate funerals. We supposed to right celebrate the life.

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: But y R, the flesh feels like you're supposed to

122
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: live eternally ruk because the spirit does ru That's the

123
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: same thing with music. Music is a universal language. Everybody

124
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: in his room speaks music, hip hop, R and B, rock, gospel,

125
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: et cetera. This is me listening to my spirit and

126
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: God saying I need you to be uncomfortable, cause you

127
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: too comfortable.

128
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 3: Mm.

129
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I need you to tap into the other point where

130
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm really called you to be right. We all chosen.

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: I just learned that a couple. We're all chosen because

132
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: we're all here for a reason, but few answer the

133
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: pol because that call is a pool. There's something pulling

134
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: me to talk more and sing less. So maybe I'm

135
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: supposed to start a foundation for young men that don't

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 1: have a father, don't have a uncle or a man

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: kingdom man figure to preach to. And I don't wanna

138
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: be in nobody's pool, pitt. I've saying more than most.

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, right, But I desire to

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: be godly. I desire to be a righteous man. So

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: maybe that's man I'm supposed to move to mm hmm.

142
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: And where I'm doing things from my honest and righteous,

Speaker 1: the Church of Christ right right, Everything again for me

166
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: is starts with God ends with God. And that's my

167
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: in between. Uh. I sung on a Sunday at a

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: program where you get to sing or tell a testimony. Right,

169
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting down, but I just see my cousins

170
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: go up there and my Auntie's give a testimony. I'm like,

171
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: I could sing. I know one church song. It's called

172
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: troubles Don't Last Always, right. So I told my cousin Frankie,

173
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, I'm about to go up there, and

174
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: I I'm for it. He's not gonna stop me. So

175
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: they let me go, right and I started singing, and

176
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: they was like, all you need is to step that one,

177
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: hey boy? Yeah?

178
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah amen?

179
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: That fueled me. You know what I'm saying, and I

180
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: really was just like one key and doing little rifts

181
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: and runs right. And from that day forth, everyone was like,

182
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: he really has a voice on him. Fast forward four

183
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: years and it really you know, numerology is a thing

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: for me too, because God is very intentional on the

185
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Bible about numbers. Four years from that, I'm humming during

186
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: the test second grade. Ms. Allen goes, do you want

187
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: to share with the class? I'm living in Miami, Florida.

188
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Brown's up going to early to heights. I didn't know

189
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: what she said, but naturally I was a mannerable young man,

190
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: so I was like, yes, ma'am, and I'm singing now

191
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: a song that I was humming during the test that

192
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to do. Sends me to the office

193
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: sing to the principal. The principal sits me down correct, correct, correct,

194
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: and I've said yes, ma'am. So now I think I'm

195
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: in trouble because now I'm in the principal's office. Principal

196
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: has me sing yeah, correct, But no one says anything

197
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: like no feedback, just.

198
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,080

540
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: This is before internet. These are cassette tapes in CDs.

544
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,919

Speaker 1: me speak, You gotta hear my music in person. This

549
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: internet thing is easy. I could record a song to

00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: night and put it out tonight at the same time, rough,

551
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,240

Speaker 1: Never been on drugs, I've never been wrongfully touched. I've

617
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: never question who I am because of her too, so

618
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: I paid more attention to Okay, my mom mighta been

619
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: a hard ass, but she saved me from a lot

620
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: of demons and a lot of harmful things that I

621
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: know some of my peers have experienced. And that has

622
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: way more materialistically and monetarily mm monetarily Uh, but I

623
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: my soul is rich, my spirit is rich. I wear

624
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: crocs and hoodies and basketball shorts. I'm a real Flordaboard

625
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: slides with the hot socks every day. I ain't into

626
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: no designer for real. I got some pieces, got a

627
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: little rolly for myself, a little van Cleet, But I

628
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: ain't never even looked at this for time in my life,

629
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: and I've had it for three years. I'm looking on

630
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: the iPhone when you say that. So I think my

631
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: mother for saving my soul over me being thirty eight

632
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: with thirty eight meal and I'm soulless and unhappy and

633
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: miserable and trying to find myself. I'm found. My purpose

634
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: is to spread godliness. My passion just so happened to

635
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: be music, and that's where people get like misconscrued. So

636
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: there was a part of me in my youth where

637
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: I was feeling a way. I never verbalized this to

638
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: my mother to this day, but as I learned how

639
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: cold the world is, how cold this industry is. Bro

640
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: we came in this world, broke, we're dying, broke. M

641
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: money came by you into heaven. You feel what I'm saying.

642
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: So I'm more purpose driven than I am passion driven.

643
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: My passion is music. My passion is art. I'm good

644
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: at it and it's always good at it, great at it.

645
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: Comes easy to me. Never surprised myself musically, haven't written

646
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: my best song yet understood I did twenty six years

647
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: later from doing it professionally. But now in hindsight, thank

648
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: you Mama, you know what I'm saying, and for saving

649
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: my soul because that's not for sale and I wouldn't

650
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: be happy and complete if I knew I had to

651
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: do something that's less than who I am and whose

652
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: I am to garner it understood. Yeah, so shout out

653
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: to my mind understood. That was a that was a

654
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: mouthful here. Yeah, yeah, Paul, true story.

655
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: So that's heavy.

656
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: But the it you it it it it.

657
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 5: It shows them the maturity of the mindset of where

658
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 5: you took it.

659
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of things you could do, and

660
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: everything is about choices. We all have decisions work. You

661
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: feel what I'm saying right, perspective, bro and being able

662
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: to control the mind cause thoughts become things and then

663
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: things provoke action. Before we do anything in life, we

664
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: thought at first you thought, then you acted upon that thought.

665
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 4: Right.

666
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: So if I can shift my perspective to find God

667
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: and anything which I find God and everything, right, that's

668
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: my new self. This is me probably doing a month's work.

669
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: Me and you had a conversation outside about something. I

670
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you pulling me to the side, praying with me

671
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 1: and giving me church, cause where true or more gathered,

672
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: he is there, there were gone, and what's crazy? I

673
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: was gonna do that anyway. You did it first, which

674
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: came from a genuine place, and I appreciate that for sure.

00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: That's where I bask at. Brother. I pray f I

680
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: pushing on. How can I quit right and my brother

681
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: still going. I woulda never had this moment if I

682
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,520

683
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: I ain't see you keep going. It wasn't my time

684
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: to speak outside. You feel it was pointing to me,

685
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,399

Speaker 3: So cause I hear you.

851
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: Cause as a singer, we do.

Speaker 2: Oh so well?

859
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: I did was to even develop it right right? Uh,

860
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: it's the best decision I made when I decided I

861
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna go to college and I was gonna come

862
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: back to singing. Right. I joined the choir at my

863
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: high school and we went on competitions. Now we singing

864
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: like classical music, singing things in different languages. They made

865
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: me the sec s uh uh, the section leader, and

866
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't still to this day, know how to read music.

867
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: So I was just looking and this is how you

868
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: get your vowel right cause I'm trying to do uh,

869
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: which is a rift, but it's Oh, it's about how

870
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: you position all these things that I was like, I

871
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: was naturally gifted with m with music. I used to

872
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: just listen to Bridman night Boys men and I can

873
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 1: hear usher and I can just mimic it. No one

874
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: taught me. I never went to like vocal training until

875
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: I got a deal. Then they told me how to

876
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: run on the treadmill and sing at the same time.

877
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: Run up a hill, shout out to Marvin McIntyre. If

878
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: y'all don't know who that is, new addition, Sammy Lloyd

879
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: Seattra and really it's too many to you. I got, yeah, yeah,

880
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: it's but yeah, en scene and control the breath. So

881
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know what a false was. Like a falsetto

882
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,959
Speaker 1: is when most men, well not even just men, because

883
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: women do it all the time, but particularly it's more

884
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: impressive because a man is going out of what his

885
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,479
Speaker 1: natural is. So if you can't hit this key that's up.

886
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 8: There, you could cheat it with you could seat it right.

887
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: Staccato is when you chop it up. Bravado is some

888
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: things that.

889
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 3: What Trey does.

890
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: He sings with a lot of evado and crescendo, is

891
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: when you ascend come from. It's all these things I'm

892
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: learning in chorus. I knew how to do all of them.

893
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: I just didn't know what they were called. And then

894
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know the placement and when to do it.

895
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: So once I learned the chorus game, it took my

896
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: R and B game to another level. Go back now

897
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: and listen to all my backgrounds. They're not R and

898
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: B backgrounds.

899
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: Like and for delity one on them.

900
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually called face to face, but the hook

901
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 1: is infod t. You know what I'm saying. But listen

902
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: to my background vocals. They're very choral created. Got a alto,

903
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: you got a tenor?

904
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: You wrote?

905
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: I write all my music.

906
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah you know.

907
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: I was around Jazzy Young Dallas, Austin Young Dre and

908
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Vadell Young, B Cox Young mm JD. I was twelve

909
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: years old, already trying to figure out how to formulate

910
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: my own record. Jasper Cameron was the first one that

911
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: was like, man, you don't need me to write for you. Shouty,

912
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: you already got it. So I went downstairs and I

913
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: started working on mistakes and writing on my own, and

914
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: I started to learn when the beat would change, from

915
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: the verse of the B section be sexy in to

916
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: the hook hook back to the second verse, or maybe

917
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: there's a post hook. And back then we did bridges,

918
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: which was when the core tane just happened. I met

00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: and I just study it so I can and if

925
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 1: I could steal a little bit of usher, a little

930
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,960

931
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: you to embody and study and become a student. And

932
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: then sometimes the student becomes greater than the teacher or

933
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: can teach the teacher something. And for me to have

934
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: lasted this long, I was able to evolve every time.

1004
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: and floating, and I.

1005
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 3: Was like, how you niggas, that's gift.

1006
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, right, But I wrote my

1007
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: posson about fifteen minutes and I only go one way.

1008
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: That's another thing, like what I hear first, it's either

1009
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: that it's not that, and ninety percent of the time

1010
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: it's that. Every song that y'all talking about. It was

1011
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: my first idea, cause I feel like music is not

1012
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: a thought, it's a feeling. Remember, I'm coming from the

1013
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,479
Speaker 1: spirit every time. If I gotta think about this too long,

1014
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm good. Nah, that ain't mine. Go to another track.

1015
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: He played it, I wrote it, I sang it, did

1016
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: the harmonies, and then he was like, I knew you

1017
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: as me. And that was my greatest compliment that I

1018
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: got from one of my favorite writers, because in artists,

1019
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: because I was like in my head, like, man, I

1020
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: don't come with it, bro, you know what I'm saying.

1021
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: He gonna let you, gonna let me know. He was like, nah,

1022
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: I knew you was a same beast. That's that's a

1023
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: and And to me it felt like how Jordan probably

1024
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: rep recognized Cole. I love Eric Bellinger cause there's nothing

1025
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: there's no box you can put him in. Yeah, and

1026
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: he's underrated, but he's such a great guy for sure,

1027
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: for such such a humble guy, such a uh h.

1028
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 1: There's no ego. There's only art and ethics and morals,

1029
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: and that's the principles I stand on so uh su
