Speaker 5: I mean, I just feel great. I feel amazing in
Speaker 5: the space. I mean, I've been in the game now,
Speaker 5: it's going twenty four years. So to be consistent for
Speaker 5: twenty four years, that's that's a lot. And I love
Speaker 5: all the girls you guess out today. When I started,
Speaker 5: it was maybe like six of us or something, maybe
Speaker 5: seven at the most at the same time, and now
Speaker 5: it's almost one hundred girls. Yeah, Like it's so many
Speaker 5: female artists and just different, you know. And I just
Speaker 5: feel like that consistency, that consistency is a key power
Speaker 5: to stay on your game in the game. And yeah,
Speaker 5: it's changed a lot, you know, social media all this
Speaker 5: stuff has changed. So it just got you just got
Speaker 5: to find that energy to just kind of like find
Speaker 5: your path and navigate that through your music.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: So talk to us and tell us what it was
Speaker 6: like growing up in Day County.
Speaker 5: That was the best Miami. Like everybody wants to come
Speaker 5: to Miami, but Miami where I grew up, that's Liberty City.
Speaker 5: That's the real Miami. Right, It's not South Beach, that's
Speaker 5: not Miami Beach and none of that. That's like the hood.
Speaker 5: That's the rich time. Yeah, that's when you go get
Speaker 5: down and dirty. Yes, but it was just a great place.
Speaker 5: You know, It's Miami was just fun. It's hot all
Speaker 5: the time. You know. It was always parties, music, just
Speaker 5: all kind of stuff. And when I was real real
Speaker 5: young growing up, like you know, before we was able
Speaker 5: to go to like a club or like see, we
Speaker 5: didn't really have like I don't remember. We didn't have
Speaker 5: like house party kind of vibes. It was more like
Speaker 5: clubs and you know or whatever. But if you couldn't
Speaker 5: go that where Luke came in and paid the big
Speaker 5: played a big part because he had the Pat Jam,
Speaker 5: which is for teenagers. Was that that was just a
Speaker 5: club for teenagers, like from fourteen to like I think
Speaker 5: seventeen or eighteen, you had to you couldn't. It was
Speaker 5: no drinking or nothing. It was just chips and not slacks.
Speaker 5: And so it was the place where like So what
Speaker 5: it was is DJs. They'll have like two sets of DJs,
Speaker 5: and DJ's will come out and bring all these big
Speaker 5: speakers and they like dotting it out in the in
Speaker 5: the space, and so one side is playing something, then
Speaker 5: they'll stop, they'll play. So that's what we did growing up.
Speaker 5: So that was our excitement, like having fun. So and
Speaker 5: it's Miami, so you know, it's always the beach and
Speaker 5: always that kind of stuff. But that was the real
Speaker 5: choice of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, what you think your mark on the game is like,
Speaker 2: that's train of shit.
Speaker 5: I feel like it's stamped, you know everything. It paved
Speaker 5: the way for a lot of the girls that's out today,
Speaker 5: a lot of new artists, a lot of girls to
Speaker 5: feel confident. You feel like they could pop their ship
Speaker 5: and you know, do their thing. And you know, these
Speaker 5: girls everybody come from differ, diferent places. When I look
Speaker 5: at the music today and all the new artists, they
Speaker 5: come from different places, different backgrounds, different struggles, you know,
Speaker 5: different you know situations that I came from. And to
Speaker 5: see them get in the game and navigate and say
Speaker 5: I got a record and just probably a month ago,
Speaker 5: I was nobody, just a girl from my hood or
Speaker 5: from my cityo or working at a drive through or
Speaker 5: a club or whatever. But now oh it's viral, it's
Speaker 5: social media. It's different ways to be an artist put
Speaker 5: out music. You ain't got a shop a demo or
Speaker 5: go to a record label and try to shop a deal.
Speaker 5: All you got to do is get a way to
Speaker 5: put your music together and put it up. And then
Speaker 5: you put out a banger and everybody's on that. So
Speaker 5: I just look at it. I like that. I love
Speaker 5: that it's like raw and fresh like that. You know,
Speaker 5: it's hard though for women, honestly, they need to watch.
Speaker 5: It's not an easy thing because again, we require way
Speaker 5: too much, a lot of clam and all the stuff
Speaker 5: that comes with us. So when it comes to like
Speaker 5: that and being consistent and you know, wanting to put
Speaker 5: out content or videos and now everything is and everything
Speaker 5: is you, you we need to see it like what you
Speaker 5: in your car, even if it's walking down the street,
Speaker 5: you've got you feel me and so so you know,
Speaker 5: just to be that consistent, that's investing in yourself. Youve
Speaker 5: got to spend money on that. You guys, you can
Speaker 5: put on a shirt, jeans or whatever. Girls gotta get
Speaker 5: all done up. So just invest like into yourself. That's
Speaker 5: a power point in making it in this game. You
Speaker 5: just gotta find strategy stick to that.
Speaker 2: What you think women artists in a year ongoing.
Speaker 5: Clam Yeah, uh, you know, honestly a lot. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: be honest, like just realistically, Like last year, I think
Speaker 5: that spend like one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 5: and that's just makeup that's not here. And stylist that's makeup.
Speaker 5: That's just make up.
Speaker 1: Damn. So that's their jury, that's our jury. Basically.
Speaker 5: Basically, that's you got to really like figure out your
Speaker 5: plan in order to like manifest your look. It's all
Speaker 5: about like constantly involving it. But it's an expensive factor
Speaker 5: and even when it comes to like women, girls and labels,
Speaker 5: the labels do not want to you know, for the
Speaker 5: expence for that. They don't want to do that because
Speaker 5: it's over expensive. And that's another cut for girls in
Speaker 5: the game. You know, Like so you got to really
Speaker 5: be kicking in making some bread in order to investigate
Speaker 5: yourself to come out looking like you.
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, to pull that money from.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like when you was in the game, like
Speaker 2: when you first came in, it was like full of
Speaker 2: niggas and you still stood out amongst the niggas, Like
Speaker 2: we can give you that, Like you come on the
Speaker 2: track with any nigga, you ripping it.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that ain't really happening these days,
Speaker 2: like girls actually making their own tracks and popping off.
Speaker 2: How female used to be featured on niggas songs and
Speaker 2: ship and we're going crazy, you know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Now it's more girls just got their songs and this
Speaker 5: is the pop off song, and they.
Speaker 2: Might put on their song, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like you can get on a song one of them
Speaker 2: niggas and rip their ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what it was. That moment though when
Speaker 1: you heard now and everybody was like who is this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just one of them moments.
Speaker 5: Like a tone for like girls to like pop up
Speaker 5: like you know how they feel and going against a
Speaker 5: guy for that. So when now have a dude put
Speaker 5: a song out of you want to put a girl feature,
Speaker 5: you know that's what she's going for, Like I'm about
Speaker 5: to like rip this down, and especially.
Speaker 6: Like I'm sorry, especially like with that with the type
Speaker 6: of content that was in Nia Niggain, like the type
Speaker 6: of shit that you were saying. I was reading online
Speaker 6: somewhere that people like kind of look at you as
Speaker 6: sexy reds fairy godmother like and walk so she could
Speaker 6: fly type shit like because back then, even like to
Speaker 6: this day, like you kind of set the precedent and
Speaker 6: allowed females to unabashedly and openly feel comfortable expressing how they.
Speaker 4: Felt about their sexuality.
Speaker 6: And before then it was like a taboo matter and
Speaker 6: you know, oh my god, like, don't talk about that,
Speaker 6: don't say this, don't say that. You put it all
Speaker 6: out on the table and was like, fuck it here
Speaker 6: I am, this is how I feel.
Speaker 4: Take it or leave it. And you really did.
Speaker 6: A lot for women back then because they didn't have
Speaker 6: an outlet and you were like that.
Speaker 4: Outlet for that.
Speaker 5: What I you know, when I had learned the difference, Well,
Speaker 5: this is the very beginning, because when I first did
Speaker 5: the Nail record, right recorded, we did the video, we
Speaker 5: did all that, and mind you now came out ninety eight,
Speaker 5: but like August, I believe, like in August ninety eight
Speaker 5: and right after the song came out, that's when it
Speaker 5: was Trick's birthday and his birthday party was the first
Speaker 5: time I went to a club and he was about
Speaker 5: to perform his first album. But then this is the
Speaker 5: biggest record you got now, so I'm just there and
Speaker 5: this is, of course the night I never performed the
Speaker 5: song right because I've never performed ever before on the stage,
Speaker 5: so I didn't know what what to do, and I
Speaker 5: was gonna be doing so when I'm at the party
Speaker 5: and you know, he's doing all his other song songs
Speaker 5: he had with look everything on his pro check. And
Speaker 5: when this record came up, and my friends are like
Speaker 5: pushing me, like go go to the front, I'm like,
Speaker 5: what are you all talking about. I'm just here for
Speaker 5: the party, like to have a good time. So now
Speaker 5: the song comes on and they hands me a mic,
Speaker 5: but I'm just standing there and I'm just looking at
Speaker 5: you know, Trick them they are and they element it
Speaker 5: pumped up and the crowd is going nuts. But now
Speaker 5: when and you know, you hear me come on the
Speaker 5: front talking my ship. So when it comes down to
Speaker 5: my verse, I'm standing in the stage with the mic
Speaker 5: with all these people just looking at me. I'm not
Speaker 5: saying nothing like I'm just you froze. I couldn't even speak.
Speaker 5: I was like, no word for word. And this is
Speaker 5: what made me realize, like, Okay, I was in the
Speaker 5: studio with my girlfriends and we did I did the record,
Speaker 5: but it was boosting off of them, like they gave
Speaker 5: me the energy, Like I ain't like talk that shit
Speaker 5: harder than trick. They was like, no, you gotta say
Speaker 5: something else, you gotta be But when I did the
Speaker 5: song and I seen I didn't say a word at
Speaker 5: this show, and every girl in the club knew it
Speaker 5: resonated word for words, and I was just like I
Speaker 5: got yeah, like y'all nasty, like y'all just y'all want
Speaker 5: to say. I just instantly knew it was that whole
Speaker 5: taboo factor. I didn't say nothing, and you guys memorized it.
Speaker 5: The song had just came out in August. Strict birthday
Speaker 5: was in September. This is my first time at a
Speaker 5: club in a setting where he's about to the stage
Speaker 5: and I don't know what the hell I'm about, Like
Speaker 5: I'm going to support but not coming to you know,
Speaker 5: actually get on the stage. But that's how I figured
Speaker 5: that out from the beginning, very first beginning. Yeah, that's hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said you kind of that that was you
Speaker 3: knew that was like the Laneland. I'm gonna stick with this.
Speaker 1: I just well, what.
Speaker 5: Happened was you know what happened. So that was the beginning.
Speaker 5: Now fast forward a little bit. I'm not sure. I'm
Speaker 5: not really sure, like when Fami's home coming or whatever,
Speaker 5: but we're gonna go to the next year. Now it
Speaker 5: was already out, so it's on radio. It's big, crazy, Well,
Speaker 5: now we go do. This is the first big concert
Speaker 5: in Tallahassee for damn you. It's homecoming everybody. I'm talking
Speaker 5: about so many people, it's crazy pack and now this
Speaker 5: is now I'm ready. When I hit the stage, I
Speaker 5: got dances with me. I'm I'm telling now, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm about to like push your face. And so what
Speaker 5: I learned at that moment was again, because I only
Speaker 5: had this one record, was just staying and when I
Speaker 5: did the verse, and I'm watching the girls do the
Speaker 5: exact same thing, but I'm performing it now and now
Speaker 5: I'm looking at them. And then that's what gave me
Speaker 5: my whole lane of women are paying attention everything you say,
Speaker 5: They're gonna say, make it meaningful, take like control of it.
Speaker 5: Like I'm looking at them like this is like I
Speaker 5: just built this family, like this organization of women and like, oh,
Speaker 5: you know you a bad bitch like you the baddest
Speaker 5: bitch like I gotta and that's.
Speaker 4: The bad community.
Speaker 5: Baddest Bitch song came up because I was looking at
Speaker 5: all these women like if I was saying now, was
Speaker 5: that I need something that is gonna like just chant
Speaker 5: and represent for all the girls, get about the whole now.
Speaker 5: Now I'm on, I'm on meeting the girls now. And
Speaker 5: that's how I started creating the lane of the women
Speaker 5: music and the Baddest Bitch record and the pullover and
Speaker 5: the kind of here we go.
Speaker 6: That's how you search yourself with bigger That's how exactly
Speaker 6: have you?
Speaker 1: Always have?
Speaker 4: You always lived in Miami always?
Speaker 1: You never leave like I try.
Speaker 5: I mean, I've traveled all over the whole world, but
Speaker 5: I ain't gonna like, first of all, y'all lucky that
Speaker 5: I'm here because I started feeling a little bit of
Speaker 5: weather change outside. I don't like to go at all.
Speaker 5: I need to say where it is, okay, y'all good?
Speaker 5: When I feel that it just like its sneaking up
Speaker 5: like hold on, it's just get told y'all gott to
Speaker 5: book me in the summertime, I ain't coming, but no, yeah,
Speaker 5: no always I love it's just like that's the go
Speaker 5: you know. So I know what people feel like when
Speaker 5: they come in but they go to the beach and
Speaker 5: they like, you know, I don't even go to the
Speaker 5: beach because I've done that my whole life. But it's
Speaker 5: just the atmosphere, the warmth, like the city life of
Speaker 5: it that I love.
Speaker 2: What I was about to say, I see. So do
Speaker 2: you think that started doing Trick, like because it seemed
Speaker 2: like y'all got a relationship to the where y'all be like
Speaker 2: comparison like, bro, I do this, I do that, you know,
Speaker 2: thinking that the song started that type of.
Speaker 5: Relationship, Well, because yeah, because well this is the thing.
Speaker 5: Trick always feels like like you know, I'm bossy so
Speaker 5: all the like like basically like, y'all, girl, like you
Speaker 5: listen to her, this is gonna get your job. You
Speaker 5: listen to her like basically saying like because everything she
Speaker 5: say is like it's always I'm gonna be, it's gonna be.
Speaker 5: Whatever I'm doing is wrong to her, like Oh that's
Speaker 5: wrong because you're a masogic and I call you out
Speaker 5: in there every time, and he hates that. And so
Speaker 5: it's always gonna be all the girls I'm writing for,
Speaker 5: no matter what he's saying, and he'll want to talk
Speaker 5: about everything you're not. You don't even know these things
Speaker 5: about women at heart. So I've always been like yeah,
Speaker 5: like yush, Like I've always been like that with him.
Speaker 5: And that's how that energy kind of creates, like Okay,
Speaker 5: you're gonna pop it, but you know, when you spin
Speaker 5: the block, I'm off here, I'm gonna stop it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how we ain't take a friendship out of time.
Speaker 5: I mean, well we we kind of. I grew up,
Speaker 5: like we went to junior high, so I always knew
Speaker 5: him even before the music, and so once we started
Speaker 5: doing music or whatever, and then then we came like
Speaker 5: everybody else on the label, all of us. It was
Speaker 5: just like a big family. And then you know, we
Speaker 5: once we started. Uh, when we first started off in
Speaker 5: the beginning, I was on the tour that was the
Speaker 5: first tour with Trick, and then after that we kind
Speaker 5: of branched off. I was on my own thing. I
Speaker 5: did my second album, and we would just like kind
Speaker 5: of link up to do shows, like everybody that booked
Speaker 5: the show wanted us to do nand together. So we'll
Speaker 5: always be in some atmosphere. I have to always do that,
Speaker 5: no matter what.
Speaker 1: Who the goat from Florida?
Speaker 5: What's the Florida. I'm from Miami, which mean Florida. No, yeah,
Speaker 5: I know, Luke is a goat from daycount. We gotta
Speaker 5: give Luke that respect in that whole because we wouldn't
Speaker 5: even to be able to pop out ship how we
Speaker 5: poppled if Luke didn't get that parental advisory sticker, everything
Speaker 5: would be completely beaked out on the whole ship. You
Speaker 5: don't know what we're talking about. So we definitely give
Speaker 5: him that for his contribution to what he did. And
Speaker 5: then as far as artist, like you know, damn, who
Speaker 5: is the artist? We go cross what else? I don't
Speaker 5: even know I be. I'll be in my own little bubble. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but that's definitely me. You're gonna put me on that that.
Speaker 2: That Mount Rushmore you saying like, yeah, I can't pick one.
Speaker 5: Everybody contribute contributed to.
Speaker 3: Then his thing j.
Speaker 5: J J T Money is like before trick, that was
Speaker 5: what we came j T. Money was that. You know,
Speaker 5: he's older, he's real gold, he's been there. He he
Speaker 5: popped it for Trick the baby to pop.
Speaker 2: It that it's like, we can't, we can't put it
Speaker 2: to one.
Speaker 1: We'll get it.
Speaker 5: You gotta give it, give it the loop overall, like
Speaker 5: like like exposing to start it off, like getting the
Speaker 5: whole genre started. And that's how that was the top,
Speaker 5: That's how it started. After that, then he opened the
Speaker 5: door and after that j T came in popping it
Speaker 5: and j T had the whole city, the hood, everybody.
Speaker 5: That was the talk. And then came after that and
Speaker 5: then there's the Queen Mount Rush.
Speaker 3: This is a sighting that you got a book, right finally,
Speaker 3: like you finally arrive and you have this book. A
Speaker 3: two part question what made you decide to finally write
Speaker 3: a book? And then there's an excerpt in there where
Speaker 3: you say being a beautiful woman is a form of currency.
Speaker 1: Right, so I guess talk about.
Speaker 3: What made you decide to write the book and talk
Speaker 3: about this beauty and currency situation in the book.
Speaker 5: The Badest, Well, I just did the book first, just
Speaker 5: so this is because I've done a lot for twenty
Speaker 5: four years, and it's my every people. Like you know,
Speaker 5: I'm always private. It's always what you see. Like if
Speaker 5: it's a video, it's a show. This is the this
Speaker 5: is the entertainment world of me, you see. But when
Speaker 5: it comes to my personal I be away from the
Speaker 5: world really and like so when it's my story, I've
Speaker 5: always heard my story chopped and screwed in all types
Speaker 5: of ways, and some of this shit, I be like, what,
Speaker 5: I don't even know what you're talking about. So me,
Speaker 5: I'm always straightforward. It is what it is. If I
Speaker 5: did I did, If I didn't, I didn't, I say
Speaker 5: that I'm mature and grown. The book is to say,
Speaker 5: this is how it really happened. This is how it started.
Speaker 5: This is how I was Trina before you guys knew.
Speaker 5: I was training before the baddest appear, before all of this.
Speaker 5: That was how the story came up. And you know
Speaker 5: how I navigated my way into the industry, how it started,
Speaker 5: the whole situation doing the song from trick to everybody
Speaker 5: else I worked with the industry. You know, it's a
Speaker 5: lot of speak on like a lot of female artists
Speaker 5: in there in the book that I spoke about because
Speaker 5: I've worked with some of the most amazing female artists
Speaker 5: in this industry, you know, hip hop, R and B whatever.
Speaker 5: I've done that, so I learned a lot from them.
Speaker 5: From them and like most of us have built like
Speaker 5: great friendships and we've grown together in this industry, you know.
Speaker 5: And I wanted to put that in there. I just
Speaker 5: want to tell my way, like, you know, what made
Speaker 5: me do this, how I navigated through this. It's good,
Speaker 5: it's bad. The loss, you know, stuff that just really
Speaker 5: broke me, that just really like took almost the life
Speaker 5: out of me. That I had to continue to work
Speaker 5: through in my career and just work because that's what
Speaker 5: I was used to doing, you know. And yeah, just
Speaker 5: like you know, just stuff, the good, the mad, the ugly.
Speaker 5: Losing my mom was like that's that's the icing of
Speaker 5: the cake for me, that that's like my heart died,
Speaker 5: you know. And that's something true that I wanted to
Speaker 5: say because people watched it with me, and sometimes it's
Speaker 5: over emotion to where I got to a point where
Speaker 5: like I couldn't even speak about it. I would just cry.
Speaker 5: I would just be sad. I would be completely lost.
Speaker 5: And that was all important because I still was working
Speaker 5: and pushing through these stuff, and sometimes people would be like,
Speaker 5: you know, is you okay? Are you happy? You're having
Speaker 5: a good day. No, I'm not, but I'm still here,
Speaker 5: Like my god, I'm here, you know. And you know,
Speaker 5: it was just my story. You know, everybody else I
Speaker 5: worked with in Miami, all the artists, all the artists
Speaker 5: in the game that I respect and that I enjoyed
Speaker 5: working with, and you know, just my life. That's kind
Speaker 5: of how I did it. And we're turning into a movie,
Speaker 5: so yeah, that.
Speaker 4: Means yeah, that's big.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you yeah, sure. I don't want to get
Speaker 5: and my flowers. I'm not giving it. Somebody and told
Speaker 5: my story and I'm like, no, that is not what happened.
Speaker 5: That is not not that I remember. I remember going
Speaker 5: like this, and you cannot tell that because you wasn't there.
Speaker 5: I don't care what you saw or somebody wrote. I
Speaker 5: don't care about what pitch. I don't That's not what happened.
Speaker 5: This is what happened. Let me take it down memory lane.
Speaker 5: Let's take it all the way back from the beginning
Speaker 5: to when I before I was born, and my whole
Speaker 5: like you know, consending everything in the start, everything in
Speaker 5: the book, you know, And yeah, I got Missy Elliott
Speaker 5: to do the forward of the book, which really meant
Speaker 5: a lot to me because missus this is one of
Speaker 5: my greatest friends in the industry from day one. She's
Speaker 5: always been genuine, always been like herself, Like I learned
Speaker 5: a lot of the business and how to make sure
Speaker 5: that I was making my money from Missy. Like Missy
Speaker 5: is the only artist I know like in this game,
Speaker 5: we came in and I didn't even notice or I
Speaker 5: honestly didn't even have control of this because it was
Speaker 5: all controlled by the label. And but you know, like
Speaker 5: artists will get like so mad when your records is
Speaker 5: lead that some come out and you in your camp
Speaker 5: trying to figure out how it came out, and it's
Speaker 5: always a back and forth blame game. And Missy's the
Speaker 5: artist that I know that never had that marble. She
Speaker 5: never had a Record's league. You never had a Missy
Speaker 5: Elliott league record. She just didn't play that. She didn't
Speaker 5: put her records around. Ain't nobody in the camp getting
Speaker 5: no Missy record until until it's done ready to come out.
Speaker 5: And I just was like, you know, you just learn
Speaker 5: and you understand how you need to control your own
Speaker 5: self to make stuff because otherwise you're gonna stay being mad,
Speaker 5: You're gonna stay going through the same stuff. And ain't
Speaker 5: nobody want to take the blame. Nobody want to be like,
Speaker 5: oh it's my for everybody gonna get silent because they're thinking,
Speaker 5: you can't, you know, figure it out who it was or
Speaker 5: the finger span pointed. But yeah, just that and like
Speaker 5: she's been there, like through all the baddest parts of
Speaker 5: my career and the best like motivating pushing. I pushed
Speaker 5: her the same way, you know, and I just that's
Speaker 5: like the people that I genuinely like, like like, it's
Speaker 5: not the industry. It really is not made for friends.
Speaker 5: You don't know if you're gonna make a friend or
Speaker 5: something wreak these people. But that don't mean that I'm
Speaker 5: about to tell you my life story, And that don't
Speaker 5: mean start asking me for money, because that's where my friend.
Speaker 5: This is like we're associated working the business. I respect you,
Speaker 5: you respect me, And that's people. Eventually, in time, you
Speaker 5: meet people in this industry that we're in, and then
Speaker 5: these kind of people are the people you want in
Speaker 5: your life, you know, the genuine people. The people don't
Speaker 5: really call you when the camera's off, the lights off,
Speaker 5: or check on you when you don't lost somebody, not
Speaker 5: when the hype is up, when the hype is three
Speaker 5: four years later gone. Still see how you're doing. And
Speaker 5: those are the people that I like to like have
Speaker 5: in my circle.
Speaker 1: Else when I got.
Speaker 2: What you think the obstacles is being your true authentic
Speaker 2: self in this game.
Speaker 5: Truthfully, for me, I think that's the only way you
Speaker 5: really survive, because when you not truthfully your authentic self,
Speaker 5: you get caught up in the hype, you get jad,
Speaker 5: you get jealous, you get lost.
Speaker 2: It's like, what about like people like how people receive.
Speaker 5: Like Yeah, but that's the thing. When I say that's
Speaker 5: how you the only way you meet personally, feel like
Speaker 5: you really will because if you stay your real authentic self,
Speaker 5: no matter how nobody perceive you, you're gonna still be yourself
Speaker 5: whether they stop perceiving you. Fifty years from now, when
Speaker 5: you're not on this show, when you're not doing whatever
Speaker 5: your life is, and you're home with your wife or
Speaker 5: your kids, your family, you're still your same person. You
Speaker 5: did not have to transition to another person to like
Speaker 5: being this. That's not the case. That's when you get
Speaker 5: completely lost if you know who you are, I don't
Speaker 5: care what nobody looking at you as you don't know me,
Speaker 5: what you think, you know, what you see or if
Speaker 5: you heard me say that I could talk. This is
Speaker 5: a freedom of speech that we live in is country.
Speaker 5: So how I talk or how I create, and how
Speaker 5: I feel, that's how I feel. I was feeling good
Speaker 5: this day. I felt like making a good record. I
Speaker 5: was speeling sad this that I made a sad record.
Speaker 5: I was feeling like turning up. I was feeling like
Speaker 5: party and I was feel like popping my shit. I
Speaker 5: was feeling like, fuck you, I'm making this record. I
Speaker 5: was feeling like being sexy. I was feeling like being
Speaker 5: love unloved. Whatever I feel, I'm a poppet. That's the
Speaker 5: feeling I'm in. Who are you to say, Oh, you
Speaker 5: shouldn't say or feel that way. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: things you probably say and do and we just don't
Speaker 5: know about it. So that judging thing that would kill
Speaker 5: your like the organic person you are, So will you
Speaker 5: change that?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 5: Who are you?
Speaker 2: People try to hold you to one moment too, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can try to hold you to one moment. But
Speaker 2: what she's saying is I displayed most of my emotions
Speaker 2: in front of your face through my music. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, y'all take it, y'all want to take you.
Speaker 2: One song doesn't mean that's me every day.
Speaker 5: You can't be just the image that I choose to
Speaker 5: project at that time. I got six albums. There's no
Speaker 5: way that one song could be me every day. You
Speaker 5: get what I'm saying. There's so many different emotions, so
Speaker 5: many different type of Oh you came this way, but
Speaker 5: now record is nothing like here we go, Here we
Speaker 5: go record exactly. It's sad, it's bad record. It's nothing
Speaker 5: like record now record. It is nothing like I Gotta
Speaker 5: Thank for You a Keisha Cole Records. Now record is
Speaker 5: nothing like I got a Bottle with Missy Elliot Now, Robert,
Speaker 5: it's nothing like these records. So you it's just how
Speaker 5: you're feeling the move. This wasn't my record, This was
Speaker 5: tricks record. Like I didn't even know what now man.
Speaker 5: I had to learn all this when I got in
Speaker 5: the studio. But when I got in there and say like, oh,
Speaker 5: what are we really doing it? What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: When I heard what you was saying, what am I
Speaker 5: supposed to say, because I'm thinking, I'm just coming to
Speaker 5: you a favor, and get popped my name on the
Speaker 5: song and I'm coming here now. I did a whole verse,
Speaker 5: and but the organic of it was the battle of
Speaker 5: the sexes. Yes, you're a man, I'm a female. I'm
Speaker 5: about to slarter your ass in here. I don't get
Speaker 5: all these girls, like a million women in march, and
Speaker 5: we're marching on top of this and that's that, and
Speaker 5: then we've been marching ever since.
Speaker 6: Another thing I want to talk about, like because you
Speaker 6: were just saying, how like you can't be held to
Speaker 6: one standard or one song.
Speaker 4: But one thing that.
Speaker 6: Just over the years, people that have really paid attention
Speaker 6: to you can hold you to is the fact that
Speaker 6: no matter what you're doing, no matter where you are,
Speaker 6: no matter what you have going on, it's it's always
Speaker 6: a certain standard of this probably ain't even a word,
Speaker 6: but like it's it's always a certain standard of like
Speaker 6: glamorousness or glamorous you don't like always shiny, it's like
Speaker 6: it's classy as flash.
Speaker 5: Because I love the glamorous life. That's what I want,
Speaker 5: That's what I envisioned my life just to be super glamorous,
Speaker 5: super flashy, very this full of diamonds, this like that,
Speaker 5: that's Miami.
Speaker 4: Like the whole like this shoulder was very over.
Speaker 3: Was one of the few people to not to not nobody,
Speaker 3: but Trina is one of the few people that conquered
Speaker 3: love and hip hop.
Speaker 1: You know, you can go on love and hip Hop
Speaker 1: and I ain't even but that.
Speaker 5: This is the thing where people don't understand about I
Speaker 5: hear this so much and so don't just don't forget
Speaker 5: Love and hip Hop started. It wasn't Alanta, New York,
Speaker 5: New York Atlanta when New York Atlanta in l A
Speaker 5: before it came to Miami. So in the realm of
Speaker 5: all of that, in this four year building of the
Speaker 5: Love and hip Hop franchise, they were trying to get
Speaker 5: Miami the same time. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't commit.
Speaker 5: I was like, no, I watched the show. You know,
Speaker 5: I'm not for the week pulling and drink throwing not
Speaker 5: my style, but it's entertaining. It was cool, and so
Speaker 5: everybody would be like, oh, is it You know the
Speaker 5: show's fake because it's scripted or whatever, and you know,
Speaker 5: I would just be looking at certain stuff and I'm
Speaker 5: looking at certain the people on the show like, well, no,
Speaker 5: this stay real life. They got this going on, you know,
Speaker 5: maybe certain stuff out of context or whatever. But anyway,
Speaker 5: moving forward, when I had did the Rockstar Music Group
Speaker 5: and I had started working with these artists, to me,
Speaker 5: I felt like that was like the moment to say yes,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it because the platform was television and
Speaker 5: we don't have like we didn't have no more like
Speaker 5: on No. Six in Park or like the MTV EO raps,
Speaker 5: none of that to be on. So these artists were
Speaker 5: in a different time, right, Everybody, I don't I can't
Speaker 5: make you into a meet like I can't make you
Speaker 5: have this big following and a hardcore fan base that
Speaker 5: started with you since you came out to Now you
Speaker 5: gotta get on, you gotta get online and you know,
Speaker 5: figure out how to be creative and build a bill
Speaker 5: fan base. And so I felt like going on TV
Speaker 5: and having an artist that that would help when that
Speaker 5: would showcase something and then there is the whole Miami.
Speaker 5: There's Trick, you know, then there's Bobby. There's just a
Speaker 5: connection of it. It made sense, you know, it made sense,
Speaker 5: and there was me It was standards like, look, I
Speaker 5: am a business and a brand. I came on here
Speaker 5: as a brand. I'm not gonna I don't need to do.
Speaker 5: I don't need to be like in space. I'm not
Speaker 5: gonna be dissolve that we're gonna go on here. I
Speaker 5: came I brought my brand to your show. Your show
Speaker 5: didn't make me a brand. So I came on there
Speaker 5: already very business oriented, very much. What I need to
Speaker 5: do is this is following my reality. Like even with
Speaker 5: my last album's show, I went through the whole process
Speaker 5: of the downfall of it, the whole situation with my manager,
Speaker 5: the whole label. It was a bad thing. I was
Speaker 5: really living in that moment. I was sad I was
Speaker 5: going through it. I worked so hard on this album.
Speaker 5: I had all the biggest artists on this album, and
Speaker 5: all that happened in real lifetime. So this is what
Speaker 5: I want to show. I don't care about who's sleeping
Speaker 5: with who, who's messing who. I don't care about none
Speaker 5: of that. Let me do my business, put it on
Speaker 5: this platform, and let's keep them moving right, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean, because otherwise you get kind of lost
Speaker 5: in the hype of it, and then before you know it,
Speaker 5: you're just there or you're just constantly babbling off into drama.
Speaker 5: You're not elevating. It's not beneficial. Besides, I mean, yeah, OK,
Speaker 5: care if you're getting paid, But what's the benefit after
Speaker 5: what's the growth after that? You're gonna keep like throwing
Speaker 5: drinks or fighting it like what comes next? Like it
Speaker 5: has to be a next. And that's always the mentality
Speaker 5: I went into it with, like it has to make sense.
Speaker 5: So if I'm on here, I'm always working, I'm always
Speaker 5: doing something. I always have stuff to do. We always
Speaker 5: gotta make sure that's what.
Speaker 4: We don't even have time for the bullshit.
Speaker 5: No, I don't have the time for that. Like you know,
Speaker 5: like I have two keys to the city of Miami.
Speaker 5: We can't play around at you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So I always have that demeanor of that, like I
Speaker 5: worked hard to get in these spaces. I don't want
Speaker 5: nothing to like like diminish that will take it down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, knock me down off the pedestal.
Speaker 5: Yeah, as hard as it is to get on it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, how you feel about the temperature of music
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 5: The temperature, Yeah, like the flow of it. I ain't
Speaker 5: gonna be honest, I think I'm kind of out of
Speaker 5: the loop of it some kind of way. I love
Speaker 5: all of new music. I like all the like the
Speaker 5: new that you hear, every stuff that I hear. But
Speaker 5: I just feel like, as I was more invested in it,
Speaker 5: I think social media kind of killed that. Yeah, it
Speaker 5: kind of like, you know, shit, we lost a lot
Speaker 5: of great artists. You know, like a lot of great artists.
Speaker 5: That was the connection to building bridges and making dope music.
Speaker 5: And people don't realize, like, as this is our our artistry.
Speaker 5: Artistry is like to unite we this is why you
Speaker 5: guys love the collaborations. And there's a feature on this
Speaker 5: record and we see the video they done. Did they
Speaker 5: think this is why we do that. We love that,
Speaker 5: And it's being tore down, it's being like taken for granted.
Speaker 5: People are not even like realizing this has been I
Speaker 5: mean this twenty four years. Some of these artists will
Speaker 5: not be around twenty four years from now, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. And when I think about it, it's
Speaker 5: like wow, you know, because you gotta like it's our job.
Speaker 5: We're having fun, we're making money. You know, you're getting
Speaker 5: the bad you turning up and all that, But realistically,
Speaker 5: it's like a twenty four job, you working. You gotta
Speaker 5: put your mindset in the work mindset in order to
Speaker 5: last because everything ain't gonna be hot forever. I don't care.
Speaker 5: I got classic records. Are you going to club? You're
Speaker 5: gonna still play them. It's not a new record, you
Speaker 5: get what I mean. So these new records that are
Speaker 5: hot today right now, on this day, will not be hot,
Speaker 5: probably not even in the next two months from now
Speaker 5: or two three years from now. So if you're not
Speaker 5: structured to like keep pushing and keep moving on that
Speaker 5: platform and keep building and keep collaborating with new artists
Speaker 5: and bigger artists and artists out of your element and
Speaker 5: doing stuff that you probably thought you wouldn't do, how
Speaker 5: is it? How is it gonna last? How is it
Speaker 5: getting better? Like so much dope music is with artists
Speaker 5: is not even here, Like you would never hear a
Speaker 5: new album from them. You will never hear a new
Speaker 5: project or new song, you know what I mean? Because
Speaker 5: it's just not being structured like business out here, just
Speaker 5: messing around, like if somebody don't physically like actually sock
Speaker 5: you and punch your whatever, we ain't gotta beef. You
Speaker 5: just talking like exactly, let's get let me get get
Speaker 5: my money. I don't got time for that. And I
Speaker 5: don't think a lot of artists even look at it
Speaker 5: that way until it's too late.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's such thing as like gate keepers
Speaker 1: and this ship?
Speaker 5: For absolutely, it's definitely gatekeepers. Definitely. I learned that I saw,
Speaker 5: and I learned that. I've heard it for years in
Speaker 5: my career, but I never, honestly, I never knew what
Speaker 5: it meant. I didn't. And then when I did Rockstar
Speaker 5: Music Group, that's when I learned what it meant because
Speaker 5: I was the person on the other end. I was
Speaker 5: the artist, but I was still not on top of
Speaker 5: the artist street, and I had to be the person
Speaker 5: doing what everybody else was doing for me that I
Speaker 5: didn't know about. And then now I get to see, oh,
Speaker 5: like and it just it just makes you look at
Speaker 5: like stuff different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like everything read, Yeah, everything big money read, you
Speaker 2: asked me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's just it's when once you see that, nobody
Speaker 5: could tell you nothing because you've physically saw it, and
Speaker 5: you like.
Speaker 1: Wow, what you think that?
Speaker 2: What you think?
Speaker 4: What you think?
Speaker 2: The acceptance of it is like, well, how you have
Speaker 2: to be You have to kind of be sort of
Speaker 2: fake to get past the gatekeepers, right unless you vouched
Speaker 2: then for a nig who already bene fake or some.
Speaker 5: Shit, most of the fake are already. That's like a
Speaker 5: little coat, a fake coat. It kind of like stick
Speaker 5: together the fake run down to the thing. It just
Speaker 5: keep happening to both these mean girls. Yeah, these the
Speaker 5: people in the industry that once you know about it
Speaker 5: and you know how, you see the moves and it's
Speaker 5: kind of like, oh, all right, I see how you rocking.
Speaker 5: I already heard that, But you don't really want to judge.
Speaker 5: Nobody'll think of what anybody else because I I don't
Speaker 5: like to do that. I like to see for myself
Speaker 5: or feel the energy myself or if I heard now
Speaker 5: I'm in the peak game that really sees you moving
Speaker 5: like this is this really what's going on? Is this
Speaker 5: really blocking? You know? Certain stuff? So I just paid
Speaker 5: attention and when I seen it, I was like.
Speaker 6: Wow, how do you like when you when you do
Speaker 6: see it and when you do peep it? How do
Speaker 6: you prevence yourself from just being like fuck everybody, I'm
Speaker 6: not dealing with none of this.
Speaker 5: That's me. I don't want to deal with it. I
Speaker 5: don't care I get around, I don't care. I just
Speaker 5: it ain't my vibe. You know what y'all got that
Speaker 5: y'all could do that. I take a loss, I don't
Speaker 5: want to get I don't need it, like I don't
Speaker 5: that's I just want to go. I feel like it
Speaker 5: comes with more stuff attached, Like it comes with like
Speaker 5: a different obligation. It comes with like something else. It's
Speaker 5: always a something else after that, and then it just
Speaker 5: never stopped. You see people fall out and it's big
Speaker 5: issues or what's money, or it's something that happened in
Speaker 5: the industry and done blew up so you don't know
Speaker 5: about it. But now it's like, oh you still know
Speaker 5: he was doing it. So she was like it just
Speaker 5: started looking real sloppy. I'm good, right, I'm good. You
Speaker 5: know what I mean. I took a lot of losses
Speaker 5: because of that, Like you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 5: realized a lot of money I lost because of that
Speaker 5: same situation, and just like you know what me personally, though,
Speaker 5: I think some of the Sagittari's I think I was.
Speaker 5: I was I felt like inside like hurt with certain
Speaker 5: people that I just like look up to what I
Speaker 5: thought was like, I don't care what nobody said, they
Speaker 5: moving straight. You can't tell me nothing because I'm I've
Speaker 5: been around. I know this person moving good. I know
Speaker 5: they doing good like they you know, and when I
Speaker 5: really saw this, Like you.
Speaker 2: Think what you think make make a motherfucker switch up?
Speaker 2: Like what you're thinking that greed, envy whatever.
Speaker 5: Always a greed for sure, Envy comes with that. Envy
Speaker 5: is a thing of like one of those kinds of
Speaker 5: things like we all doing good, but if you start
Speaker 5: doing better, I don't know. I'm side either side I
Speaker 5: kicking in Like Noah, a person ain't feeling or giving
Speaker 5: the same love. I don't feel like that should be
Speaker 5: a thing because like if we're together and you don't
Speaker 5: came up, I'm like ten toes down, supporting and cheering
Speaker 5: you on you were, I'm ecstatic, like cause you're going up.
Speaker 5: I'm not sitting here.
Speaker 4: Because I know where you came from for real and we.
Speaker 5: Don't, but we both was here. Like like even if
Speaker 5: you start first, I know for a fact me if
Speaker 5: I saw you start first, you can't tell me. I
Speaker 5: can't start because I know when we both didn't start
Speaker 5: it off, and so if you don't start it, what's
Speaker 5: gonna stop me from stash That's what I'm saying. That's like,
Speaker 5: all right, but I'm happy for you. Like what you
Speaker 5: done made it so now I could go do it
Speaker 5: like what you're talking about. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: And I think that's like yeah, damn.
Speaker 2: So how how many how important do you think it
Speaker 2: is to lead the people behind?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 5: Can't go extremely important people, extremely people and not when
Speaker 5: I say left me like sometimes me because people with
Speaker 5: people around me, they're close. This is like I call family,
Speaker 5: Like if I let you in, like we close, and like
Speaker 5: if I feel like I personally just feel like as
Speaker 5: growing and what I've learned, like people have expiration dates
Speaker 5: in your lives. They do, whether you realize it or not.
Speaker 5: A lot of people say, you know, oh yeah, I've
Speaker 5: been doing them twenty thirty forty years. Yeah, you probably have,
Speaker 5: But twenty thirty forty years. We are two different people
Speaker 5: right now, and probably the path that you own that
Speaker 5: was happening to twenty thirty years ago, I'm not on
Speaker 5: that path. That don't mean be mad, jealous, or envious
Speaker 5: or hate because I'm not on that path. Even if
Speaker 5: you don't want to be happy, don't spew hate. We
Speaker 5: just went different paths. I'm not mad at your path,
Speaker 5: whatever that may be, even if it's higher than mine,
Speaker 5: even if it didn't go nowhere. That's your choice of
Speaker 5: standing still in our moving. So don't be mad at
Speaker 5: somebody else with how they gonna take off. But that's
Speaker 5: what people do. That's this thing. And for me, I
Speaker 5: just watch certain stuff and it's I mean, I don't
Speaker 5: care if it's two months or twenty years, if I
Speaker 5: ain't feeling it, if the energy ain't coming around, how
Speaker 5: it's need to be for me, I got we gotta go.
Speaker 5: It's no beef. It ain't no long text message conversation.
Speaker 5: Oh you know, I just for none of that. We
Speaker 5: too grown to explain all that. Like we are in
Speaker 5: an element of our lives. We gotta hold. That's it
Speaker 5: higher by and it's no Caddy's shadiness. I ain't rolling
Speaker 5: my eyes at you. I ain't talking about you or nothing. Hi,
Speaker 5: how you doing? Keep it moving? We ain't got a
Speaker 5: chop it that, we ain't taking no selfies, none of that.
Speaker 5: It's a respect. That's it. We're not a lot in
Speaker 5: the same energy. We're not transparent, we don't we don't
Speaker 5: meet on the same level, mindset or nothing. We're not
Speaker 5: going the same way.
Speaker 1: It's neither one of.
Speaker 2: Our faults, nobody's It's just some people can't accept that.
Speaker 5: They can't and that's a lot of downfall, especially in
Speaker 5: our culture. That's why you see jealousy, That's why you
Speaker 5: see a lot of hate, That's why you see a
Speaker 5: lot of falling down. Oh, y'all was just partner. Y'alls boys,
Speaker 5: y'all was connected. Y'all did a whole three four five
Speaker 5: albums together, and all of a sudden, now y'all want
Speaker 5: to kill each other.
Speaker 2: How But the nigga can't even say what it's about.
Speaker 5: Nobody never can say what it's about. I just don't
Speaker 5: like this person. I hate this person, and there's no
Speaker 5: real problem. So it's just like it's better you know
Speaker 5: what you got that man. I'm just gone over here
Speaker 5: and keep on winning. Like that's all. I'm going over
Speaker 5: here and keep on winning.
Speaker 2: How you managed to stay away from like the weird
Speaker 2: ship in the game.
Speaker 5: I ain't no weird type of chick. I don't got time,
Speaker 5: no weird ship. Get that weird ship away from me,
Speaker 5: like straight up like now, real weirds, I'm not. I
Speaker 5: ain't with the weird ship. Like, bro, you like what
Speaker 5: you want, that's what y'all do. Nah, I ain't come
Speaker 5: from that. I've never been around that.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't roll with all that. Like, yeah, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. You gotta say real solid, like don't
Speaker 5: come with all that that's weird, none wet going the
Speaker 5: other ways like that's you ain't gonna never see me
Speaker 5: again ever, I ain't nothing.

Speaker 5: no none of that. Yeah no, I just stay over
Speaker 5: here on my side. Everybody stay over here on they side.
Speaker 5: I don't want to come. I'm good. Yeah, I have
Speaker 5: a good time. Like I just got on weird as
Speaker 5: I didn't come like just being honest, like you gotta understand,
Speaker 5: like my time of coming into the game, that's not
Speaker 5: what I saw. So I just realistically stuck to what
Speaker 5: I saw, like the ship that I saw and that
Speaker 5: wanted to keep more of real ship. When shit started
Speaker 5: getting with all this, it' start getting big. I'm nowhere
Speaker 5: in the space. I'm not even much in the category
Speaker 5: or even in the building. So I don't even I'm
Speaker 5: not I don't care like I didn't see how I
Speaker 5: don't want to. I didn't see a lot of people
Speaker 5: just doing weirdship or acting weird of just being goofy.
Speaker 5: And just because I like the industry gonna turned. I
Speaker 5: never saw that. We didn't come up like that was solid.
Speaker 5: He was like you, but I don't. I don't. That's
Speaker 5: that like, And that's just always It's like in the
Speaker 5: streets when you come up your homeboys and hoo, that's
Speaker 5: the same thing. It's like, it's no beef. It's just
Speaker 5: stay over there.
Speaker 4: You're wed.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying, don't be weird, but just stay over
Speaker 5: there because I'm not weird, Like I ain't no beef,
Speaker 5: but just stay over there. I'm gonna stay over here
Speaker 5: on my side, y'all gonna go over there. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: big enough space.
Speaker 1: Oh. Marriage, talk about married life a little bit.
Speaker 5: Marriage marriage, married life is special life. It's a complete
Speaker 5: space to be in and to feel, you know, uh safe.
Speaker 4: A complete space.
Speaker 5: That's a complete space. That complete space is when you
Speaker 5: are for sure by something that you know, you know,
Speaker 5: not like you know everybody's been in a relationship or
Speaker 5: been in some kind of situation that you could be
Speaker 5: cool with somebody and it's cool. But is that your
Speaker 5: safe space? Do you want to fall asleep in front
Speaker 5: of this person or somebody gonna be doing weird shit
Speaker 5: taking a photo of you like that's like so no
Speaker 5: to me, Like the safe space trust the person you
Speaker 5: trust the person. You could say, I'm complete, I don't
Speaker 5: care about what's going on over here, over here, I
Speaker 5: don't care who's checking for me over here or in
Speaker 5: the back.
Speaker 1: How you spot that? Though?
Speaker 5: You got to be in that space in your life
Speaker 5: to know what you want and want to feel, not
Speaker 5: like when I say in that space meaning you can't
Speaker 5: be the guy that's a single guy and now I'm
Speaker 5: finna go out with my boys and have a good
Speaker 5: time in the night. Now you're in the party, there's
Speaker 5: a bunch of girls in the party, people in the
Speaker 5: party having a good time, and now you may see
Speaker 5: somebody like or whatever, and okay, that's cool. Whatever. Then
Speaker 5: after that, if you decide to meet somebody, what could
Speaker 5: be a party, it could be a bar, it could
Speaker 5: be a laundry mat whatever.
Speaker 4: But you go.
Speaker 5: So you see somebody and you meet this person, and
Speaker 5: as soon as you meet this person, your mindset tells
Speaker 5: you what it is that you want and need in
Speaker 5: your life. You know, if you want to play, you know,
Speaker 5: if you want to be serious. You know, if you're
Speaker 5: tired of playing, you know, if you're tired of being played,
Speaker 5: you know, if you're just tied up all the shit
Speaker 5: you've tied up. And maybe this somebody you thought was
Speaker 5: cool a conversation now like and maybe somebody you talk
Speaker 5: to it and it is the first time you meet
Speaker 5: this person, and y'all talk and y'all just hit it off.
Speaker 5: And when I mean hit it off meaning internally, emotionally,
Speaker 5: like spiritually, everything connects, the conversation, the goals, the same path,
Speaker 5: the same dreams, the same it's not always the same,
Speaker 5: but some of the same failures or mistakes or hurt
Speaker 5: so or pass and we all have a past. So
Speaker 5: you just have to meet. I just honestly met my
Speaker 5: husband and we just had a real honest conversation. I
Speaker 5: am Trina. This is my life. This is everything in
Speaker 5: my life. The stuff that you obviously probably heard, thought
Speaker 5: or saw new for a fact, or didn't know or
Speaker 5: wanted to know. None of that matters. I don't care
Speaker 5: about the YouTube, none of that. I'm sitting right here
Speaker 5: next to you. Let's talk what you want to know.
Speaker 5: Let's get it all out, Let's ask the questions. Yes,
Speaker 5: no oh I thought, Oh it's a bit, I don't care.
Speaker 5: No oh, this was a photo. Oh yeah, this did happen.
Speaker 5: Oh this was that. That was just how it started,
Speaker 5: and vice versa. He did the exact same thing to me,
Speaker 5: and it was just the connection came like I've never
Speaker 5: had a connection that was that honest and pure and real.
Speaker 5: From the start. It always is more of an intimidation
Speaker 5: and then I don't want to say a game, more
Speaker 5: like I don't know, like this is her opponent, this
Speaker 5: is her, So I don't know how to come. I
Speaker 5: don't know, like what I gotta. You know, I'm coming
Speaker 5: with stuff that you don't even probably to come with
Speaker 5: the egos all bust up what you might want, and
Speaker 5: that's not theosed to. So you are just be your
Speaker 5: authentic self again. When you be your authentic self and
Speaker 5: show up as you all the time, you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna always everything everything you're in your conversation, everything that
Speaker 2: you're feeling, whether you feel comfortable enough to sit and
Speaker 2: be open and honest.
Speaker 5: Uncomfortable conversations are what brings out the truth, the real
Speaker 5: in you. The uncomfortable everything that's all the the the
Speaker 5: good conversation, the butterfly, that's that's we hear that. But
Speaker 5: the uncomfortable conversations is what makes you understand this. Do
Speaker 5: I want to be deep? This is deep? Do I
Speaker 5: need to be deep with this person? The connection is
Speaker 5: deep with this person. We're talking about stuff that I
Speaker 5: don't want to tell nobody. My my homegirls, like some
Speaker 5: of my friends, have been around for twenty years. But
Speaker 5: now we build this connection. And that was the connection
Speaker 5: I started. We started, and I just knew, I've heard
Speaker 5: every conversation you could possibly think of. I've you know,
Speaker 5: been in situations and good or bad. I always knew
Speaker 5: for a fact for myself, despite what anybody thought or
Speaker 5: said the Internet included, one thing about me is I'm
Speaker 5: always going to give my authentic self me, all of me,
Speaker 5: one hundred percent of me. If I don't feel that
Speaker 5: you're giving that back, I'm not sticking around for that.
Speaker 5: No matter what. We're not going to play the game.
Speaker 5: We're not going to play the like love it, because
Speaker 5: now we're putting ourself in another situation that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 5: We're not going to be We're not going to align
Speaker 5: right away with what I need and what you need.
Speaker 5: There's no need for this. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It's something that's not going by way. I'm not the
Speaker 5: girl that you know, and some girls you know have
Speaker 5: if we all have our different ways. But I've been
Speaker 5: in a situation and and it wasn't a faithful situation,
Speaker 5: and I left. I didn't say I left. I never
Speaker 5: told nobody I left, not even the internet. It's not
Speaker 5: your business. If you find out you do, I don't care.
Speaker 5: I don't care to clear it up or explain that
Speaker 5: from myself. Really what made sense to me? This wasn't
Speaker 5: making sense. It's time to move on. We're grown, and
Speaker 5: I'm going to go on by my way. I'm going
Speaker 5: to continue to live my life, because what else do
Speaker 5: you do with your life? You don't stop living. You
Speaker 5: constantly live. You take life lessons, you learn, you value,
Speaker 5: you realize. You take your own accountability for when you know, well,
Speaker 5: maybe I'll overreade it. Maybe this wasn't or whatever. But
Speaker 5: you at the end of the day, you know if
Speaker 5: you need to be there, if you don't need to
Speaker 5: be there. And when I after being there and not
Speaker 5: being there for certain times, now I know I knew
Speaker 5: when this is what I wanted and I wanted to
Speaker 5: be here.
Speaker 1: Anything else about when I got big?
Speaker 3: So I'll be twenty four years, marriage book, movie on
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, man, it's just so much stuff I'm working on.
Speaker 4: I want to talk about Trina Day. I want to talk.
Speaker 5: I want to I want to get into that because it's.
Speaker 4: Such a big it's such a big thing like that.
Speaker 6: I feel like we need to discuss because you do
Speaker 6: it all by yourself. It's something that you came up with,
Speaker 6: something that you decided to put on, and when you
Speaker 6: first did it, it was like one of the biggest
Speaker 6: community based things ever that you kind of turned into for.
Speaker 4: Liberty City and Day County.
Speaker 6: So let's let's talk about that, Like how did you
Speaker 6: come up with the idea for Trina Day, Like all
Speaker 6: the all the nicks and nats and you know, the
Speaker 6: little tweaks that you did to it to make it
Speaker 6: Trina Day with the decorations and all of them, all
Speaker 6: of the stuff. How did you make it your day?
Speaker 5: So May fourteenth is the day, is the day of
Speaker 5: I have in the city. That's my day. So that's
Speaker 5: where Trina Day came from. I have this foundation called
Speaker 5: diamondov Foundation, Dimondoll Foundation. I had started years were maybe
Speaker 5: be like two thousand and eleven or twelve or whatever,
Speaker 5: and it was basically like for women, right, women that
Speaker 5: were have been through all kinds of stuff, dealing with
Speaker 5: all kinds of stuff. It could be you know, run
Speaker 5: away pregnancy, teenage pregnancy, molestation, abuse, all these things. And
Speaker 5: I would go to these group homes and kind of
Speaker 5: we will go give makeovers and give back stuff to
Speaker 5: the women. And I don't think.
Speaker 4: People understand, like how long you've been doing that?
Speaker 5: So long, so so long for these women. And when
Speaker 5: you go to these places and the beauty of the
Speaker 5: day was, you know, to make it specially and you know,
Speaker 5: get them all dolled up and give them hope and
Speaker 5: and make them feel good. And some of them would
Speaker 5: be like so afraid to even come out, and they've
Speaker 5: been through so much in life it would make me
Speaker 5: just sad. I would just look at them like, wow,
Speaker 5: I just couldn't imagine. You know, it's just like being
Speaker 5: a woman and just out here by yourself but nowhere
Speaker 5: to go, don't know where to turn to, Like you know,
Speaker 5: whether you were a child, a girl that got raaped,
Speaker 5: then you have a kid, you had nowhere to go
Speaker 5: when you was out on the streets and nobody to
Speaker 5: take care of you, whether he was getting off drugs,
Speaker 5: whether you was beating, whatever was your thing. I saw
Speaker 5: all of this in these homes that I go and
Speaker 5: give back to, and I was just like, you know, wow,
Speaker 5: Like it's just so much stuff that happens in our
Speaker 5: community that we just live in our lives every day
Speaker 5: and we don't even really know or understand that's going on.
Speaker 5: So that's kind of how it started. And then fast forward,
Speaker 5: it was more like that's that was the start of it.
Speaker 5: I would just go every year and give back all
Speaker 5: the toys and I mean clothing and just money and
Speaker 5: stuff for these homes, and then I would do a
Speaker 5: lot of the hospitals for kids right right, and that
Speaker 5: was too much for me. It was unbearable because it
Speaker 5: was like the kids sick and some of them they
Speaker 5: were like in different incubators and stuff. You couldn't touch
Speaker 5: them or simmer. You have certain toys stuf you could
Speaker 5: give to them. But that was like breaking me. It's
Speaker 5: heartbreaking out. I was like, oh this, I couldn't do it.
Speaker 5: I was just like, this is too much. It was
Speaker 5: very sensitive. But I would just give them stuff and
Speaker 5: they have a certain list of things that they can
Speaker 5: accept and stuff they can't accept, and so move forward.
Speaker 5: I turned it into this community thing now. I just
Speaker 5: was like, it's so many kids in the community that
Speaker 5: you know their parents. They don't They're not able to
Speaker 5: show up like they do something to look forward to.
Speaker 5: They don't have it's no hope, it's nothing to do.
Speaker 5: They don't have the money. They can't take them to
Speaker 5: the museums when it comes. They can't do certain things.
Speaker 5: You know, it's holidays, it's Christmas. A lot of kids
Speaker 5: don't get Christmas gifts of toys and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: So let me take it to the streets and let's
Speaker 5: give back to these kids. Let's do it in a
Speaker 5: way where it's a free event. I just get every
Speaker 5: kind of toy gift whatever you think a child like,
Speaker 5: from computers to iPads to whatever them things they be
Speaker 5: sliding by your cars, everything, money, give cars, all this
Speaker 5: stuff and we take it out there. I get the
Speaker 5: mayor and the commissioners to come out, they give they
Speaker 5: give me a stage and we I'm just starting to
Speaker 5: do like performances, but it's like more kid friendly because
Speaker 5: this is a kid event. But to just keep it
Speaker 5: more about the people, the giveaways to give back. You
Speaker 5: have food, trucks, vendors, everybody come out. But I kind
Speaker 5: of like have my girl that does party decorations and
Speaker 5: she can make the whole street into like this fairytale
Speaker 5: land for the sis and because I lost my niece
Speaker 5: to twenty two and she was seventeen, so I call it.
Speaker 5: Her name is Sugar, so I made it into like
Speaker 5: Trina Day. It's welcome to sugar Land. So that's for
Speaker 5: all the kids. And it's all these stuff that goes
Speaker 5: on and you have people coming out drinking. You know,
Speaker 5: my family, my mom and them is from Bahamas. So
Speaker 5: I always bring the Junker new out and just bring
Speaker 5: the energies, bring the different kind of vibes and have
Speaker 5: a good time and invite the artists that's local for
Speaker 5: Miami to come out and bring their kids out and
Speaker 5: just have fun. And just give away stuff like this
Speaker 5: is the day to just give Like how fun these
Speaker 5: kids get face paints, you know, haircuts, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 5: They just be excited when you look at that they
Speaker 5: running around this whole street. We block off like maybe
Speaker 5: four blocks five blocks of the street, the main street,
Speaker 5: and the police block it off and just like just
Speaker 5: to watch the kids. This is the moment they like enjoy.
Speaker 5: We give away money and stuff to like some of
Speaker 5: the kids that have great grades in school and you know,
Speaker 5: different stuff. So it's just a good thing like I
Speaker 5: do to give back to them. And yeah, I just
Speaker 5: plan to keep making it bigger and bigger every year.
Speaker 6: So seeing like we see that, Okay, it makes a
Speaker 6: difference in the community.
Speaker 4: It builds the kids up.
Speaker 6: It brings them joy and brings them love, and you know,
Speaker 6: gives them an opportunity if they've never had one, to
Speaker 6: really like be a kid for a day and just
Speaker 6: kind of like.
Speaker 4: Live and exists.
Speaker 6: What exactly does it do for you on a personal, mental,
Speaker 6: and spiritual level to know that you're able to provide
Speaker 6: that to an entire community of people and also at
Speaker 6: the same time honor your knees as well as your mom.
Speaker 5: It's emotional. It's a lot. You know, my mom have
Speaker 5: a store like right in the city where I do
Speaker 5: it at. I owned the store, but it's not open.
Speaker 5: It's just a building. I owned the building, but I
Speaker 5: haven't made it into anything yet. It's been closed down
Speaker 5: for years. It's just there. I have like a mural
Speaker 5: on it, right But just to go back to the
Speaker 5: city where I grew up at, in the same hood,
Speaker 5: in the same area and the same place as the
Speaker 5: same street I walked, and it's so different, different than
Speaker 5: when I was walking on the street of growing up
Speaker 5: on the street, and when I came up, I would
Speaker 5: always give my friends stuff, like, you know, I was
Speaker 5: a little bit more fortunate, like you know, my mom,
Speaker 5: you know, had money, so I would I would give
Speaker 5: my friends everything. Like if I buy something, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: buy two. I'm buying my friends something. I'm gonna what
Speaker 5: was with me? Everybody's gonna get something. Across the street
Speaker 5: from my mom's house where I live, where we grew
Speaker 5: up at, the family there, they were less fortunate. It
Speaker 5: was so many of them. It was like maybe six
Speaker 5: adults and like fifteen kids. So everybody that got their kids,
Speaker 5: they all live here with the grandmother's sweetest nice lady.
Speaker 5: And I would notice, you know, like when it's the holidays,
Speaker 5: it's Christmas, all this stuff, like they wouldn't really have stuff.
Speaker 5: And so as I was growing up growing up, this
Speaker 5: is before I even started doing music, we would give
Speaker 5: bags of stuff to them. I would just ship take
Speaker 5: everything out from me, my sisters, my friends, my little brother,
Speaker 5: everybody that I knew that was like, they don't want
Speaker 5: they sneakers them all they got extra clothes overay, they
Speaker 5: don't want stuff or whatever. I would bag everything up,
Speaker 5: tied up, and we would just ship like twenty thirty
Speaker 5: bags of stuff to them from the street. And then
Speaker 5: you would see the kids. They fresh going to school
Speaker 5: now they got on all they think this is all
Speaker 5: new to them, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 5: just always did that and saw that, and now that
Speaker 5: I have my day and I know this was one
Speaker 5: house of people and family the city, in the community,
Speaker 5: there's so many more nothing. Nobody's dropping off, no bags,
Speaker 5: nobody's dropping off, no clothes. No, the parents don't have
Speaker 5: extra money for the ice cream trucks or the stuff
Speaker 5: that the kids even had want. And that's the day
Speaker 5: I get to go and play Santa Claus basically have fun,
Speaker 5: you know, and I just I just love to I
Speaker 5: love to see it, love to see them, see how
Speaker 5: they act, and just it's just it's emotional. It's like
Speaker 5: one of those things. And to me, like everybody don't
Speaker 5: have it, you know, and we live our life and
Speaker 5: you know, my life is flash and I you know,
Speaker 5: go make my money. I work hard. But when I
Speaker 5: still go back to the community I come from, they
Speaker 5: still don't have it, you know. And yeah, it's just
Speaker 5: just makes you feel good. I'm going to be able
Speaker 5: to go back and do it, to be able to
Speaker 5: even be granted the day that they know to come
Speaker 5: celebrate you on this on this day, but to also
Speaker 5: go back and it's just not me taking a day
Speaker 5: and it's the personal day for training. I'm doing a
Speaker 5: train of celebration. No, I want to do it for
Speaker 5: the people, for the kids, like the kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think that's a big key to your longevity
Speaker 3: and just being blessed as a whole, having that heart.
Speaker 3: I want to see people do good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always just want to see people do the
Speaker 5: best that they could, because it's literalistically, this is the
Speaker 5: only life we got. I don't know why some people
Speaker 5: think we got too or they got to back up
Speaker 5: life after something go wrong. This is it. So whatever
Speaker 5: you're doing now, whatever energy you're putting into your life,
Speaker 5: whatever you're point into your life, how you're manifesting your
Speaker 5: life to be, we're in the now. But one day
Speaker 5: this now will be the future and you may not
Speaker 5: be sitting on the couch in the now right then
Speaker 5: then what so you're doing this now preparing for those days,
Speaker 5: preparing for life to come to be good, to make
Speaker 5: sure that you're okay. That's what we're doing now. And yeah,
Speaker 5: I just that's what I'm always wanting my friends to
Speaker 5: do the best they can be. They don't have a
Speaker 5: job like mine, you know. So now that we have
Speaker 5: the resources and there's ways to make more money in
Speaker 5: your business than you ever thought you could, let's let's
Speaker 5: explore that. Let's see how we can make this bigger,
Speaker 5: you know, let's invest more into your business. Let's put
Speaker 5: this business on a bigger platform, because it's bigger ways
Speaker 5: to make money than the old traditional ways we was
Speaker 5: doing it back before. So I'm always pushing for that.
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
Speaker 3: Final words to h young female trying to get into
Speaker 3: this game.
Speaker 5: Oh, the young females trying to.
Speaker 3: Get that teenager you want to get in the game.
Speaker 3: You want to be you want to be treating times.
Speaker 5: To man, that's hard, man, You know what? Because girls,
Speaker 5: you know, we emotional. You know we have two potendrents
Speaker 5: and all that. We just have our fits. That's what
Speaker 5: we do. Everybody understand that. That's what we do. All girls,
Speaker 5: all women. We have our moments, our times, That's what
Speaker 5: we do. But when you want to come into this industry,
Speaker 5: this is an industry that will build you up and
Speaker 5: will drag you all the way back down. So if
Speaker 5: you are planning to come into this industry, you need
Speaker 5: to make sure that your head is on straight. Yes,
Speaker 5: that you know what you want, that you are executing
Speaker 5: a plan that makes sense to you, and you have
Speaker 5: a support team of people that are around you to
Speaker 5: help you navigate that. Make sure your business is in order,
Speaker 5: your affairs, watch and protect your money, your peace, your space. Focus, focus, focus,
Speaker 5: because the Internet have you so unfocused. Everybody's watching everything
Speaker 5: and what everybody else doing. So many girls that I
Speaker 5: love in the game and that haven't made it yet,
Speaker 5: they're on their way, but they're struggling because they're caught
Speaker 5: up in what everybody else is doing on social media,
Speaker 5: what every other girl is doing as an artist, and
Speaker 5: they can't find their own way. They can't navigate their
Speaker 5: own way if they don't feel like they're doing what
Speaker 5: everybody else is doing. That's how you get lost. That's
Speaker 5: how you get unmotivated. That's how you lose the energy
Speaker 5: you want to even do this, you know, And it's
Speaker 5: a tough business. You know, it's a lot of girls,
Speaker 5: a lot of glitz and glamour, but then it's a
Speaker 5: lot of smoke and mirror. It's not all the glamor
Speaker 5: you think it is. When you're in the business, it's
Speaker 5: a lot of decisions. It's a lot of hard work
Speaker 5: and a lot of hard work. And just because you
Speaker 5: could get in a studio and create a record, and
Speaker 5: could build a content and could work in a video
Speaker 5: and you know, pop it behind, that's where what do
Speaker 5: I really want to do? Kickseeing that because this is
Speaker 5: only for the content. When that content is over, which
Speaker 5: we all watch for twenty four hours or one day
Speaker 5: or whatever the viral moment is, and three days later,
Speaker 5: Now what I haven't found my moment. I didn't do
Speaker 5: the steps I needed to do to be an artist
Speaker 5: in this game. I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 2: You ain't got em after that moment.
Speaker 5: You gotta, you gotta. You have to have a plan.
Speaker 5: You have to build a brand for yourself. You have
Speaker 5: to know exactly what you want to do, execute it,
Speaker 5: and do it no matter what, do it. If something
Speaker 5: don't work out your way, you ain't liking it. They
Speaker 5: don't mean give up. That means maybe reevaluate, refresh up
Speaker 5: your little your starting kid. But just keep pushing, just
Speaker 5: keep moving. Stop being in the competition, in the race
Speaker 5: with everybody else. It's a thousand girls on social media
Speaker 5: that's artists or up and coming artists. And as you
Speaker 5: can see, you see the time when somebody gets signed
Speaker 5: and the hype when somebody else blowing up and the
Speaker 5: songs getting bigger. But these the same girls was once
Speaker 5: you too, trying to get that hype or get that spot,
Speaker 5: or get that one record or that whatever that hit
Speaker 5: or whatever. They were there too, So it's no way
Speaker 5: to cheat the grind. Fact, you have to grind. You
Speaker 5: cannot cheat the grind. I don't know people white people
Speaker 5: think that you cannot cheat the grind. You gotta be
Speaker 5: willing to put in the work because what you get,
Speaker 5: what you put into it is exactly what you're gonna
Speaker 5: get out of it. If you put nothing into it,
Speaker 5: Please do not expect nothing out of it, because that's
Speaker 5: not the way the real world works. No, for sure,
Speaker 5: I encourage you guys like the girls, I like, you know,
Speaker 5: I push forward for you guys. You guys just need
Speaker 5: to stay motivated, you know, stay like seriously believe in
Speaker 5: yourself and know like, if this is what I gotta do,
Speaker 5: if this is what I want to do, then there's
Speaker 5: certain elements and things that I have to do to
Speaker 5: make this work. You have to treat it as such.
Speaker 5: If it's a hobby, you're gonna treat it like a hobby.
Speaker 5: If you want a career, you could look at you
Speaker 5: could look in the industry and tell who really pushing
Speaker 5: and focusing on careers, who really investing into themselves, who's
Speaker 5: really putting a stuff out there, who started from there.
Speaker 5: You probably heard some of these records and probably on
Speaker 5: the underground or something. They know. Now we go with
Speaker 5: two years later, Oh, it's hottest record in the city,
Speaker 5: and but that just comes with work and constantly pushing
Speaker 5: and constantly like now we're in a bigger space with
Speaker 5: social media. Guys, you gotta be you gotta be a
Speaker 5: young girls. You need to be a business woman. Okay,
Speaker 5: you need to be a business woman. Because you don't
Speaker 5: have to do business, You're not gonna be able to
Speaker 5: do anything else. You know, none of this, all this
Speaker 5: stuff is not gonna make sense, no deals to label,
Speaker 5: all that stuff is crashing down. So you have to
Speaker 5: be a business woman in order to be in this business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know you did radio. You might need to
Speaker 1: do a podcast treating. Yeah, no need the baddest podcast.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you. I did learn something as an
Speaker 5: artist about radio that I had to learn, and even
Speaker 5: for myself was a learning experience because when I got
Speaker 5: on radio, people were blowing me up, like play these
Speaker 5: records and play all these songs. I thought, we're gonna
Speaker 5: get on there, We're gonna play with what we want
Speaker 5: to play Like that we got up there, they had
Speaker 5: a list of what the higher up, So this is
Speaker 5: what you're gonna be playing. You ain't playing your favorite
Speaker 5: I would have playing beyond say all day already kick
Speaker 5: me on radio, No, we're not doing that. There was
Speaker 5: a list of that what you're gonna play. And I
Speaker 5: had to understand it because even myself as an artist,
Speaker 5: I this is ti I'm able to tell, you know, girls,
Speaker 5: and like we were sensitive about our stuff. And when
Speaker 5: you were artist and you're not getting radio play your
Speaker 5: songs and the red people just think you're gonna walk
Speaker 5: up and just your song get on radio play because
Speaker 5: that's the record. It don't work like that. It does
Speaker 5: not work. It does not work like that. And when
Speaker 5: you when you're an artist and you behind the scene,
Speaker 5: I mean you're not behind the radio scene. You don't
Speaker 5: know you understand the power of radio. You argue with
Speaker 5: your label, you're mad, you feel like you're not getting
Speaker 5: exposed to why it is no radio play? Why this
Speaker 5: that I hear this record on the radio all the time.
Speaker 5: You don't know the dynamics of what goes behind that.
Speaker 5: And I learned that myself, how much bag is behind
Speaker 5: let's talk about that. And that's what I had to
Speaker 5: learn and I understood. So I knew, like, oh, so
Speaker 5: this what happened to my record that was on radio?
Speaker 5: And they did do this? So this what And as
Speaker 5: just being a mature artist and going how the season

Speaker 5: And so many artists don't understand that. They don't have
Speaker 5: a clue. They haven't even got to that level even
