Like Channel's on here, Like what the fuck? 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.120 My boy Barney's there, he's helping write with Channel. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.920 It's just a lot going on at one time, Buddy 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.520 walks in randomly. I guess he got the same message, right, 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.800 But he's buddy, so he can come whenever he wants. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.680 Quick's like, oh shit, Buddy, here, I can't leave yet, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:38.400 Like nah. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.000 They pop up with some drinks, everybody's the party starts, 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.839 you know, Buddy come in. It's it's it's a whole 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.080 different energy. So channel's like fuck. It plays a beat, 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.520 the beat that's on my fucking album. I just write 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.360 a verse really quick, like the quickest verse I've ever wrote, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.679 no pun and I'm writing the verse quickest. Fuck and 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.079 Buddy just like, let me go on the studio. He 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.520 goes in the studio, does the hook. We've got to 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:00.320 rewrite the whole verse. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.880 Now. I'm like, god damnit. Now not at all. It's 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.200 a dance song, now, dancer. I don't want to round man, sir. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.400 I'm like, God damn it, I gotta write a dance song. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.200 I'm like, uh. I start going through my notes, I 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.240 like I have nothing. I'm like, God damn it. I'm 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:15.760 like fuck. I write the verse like. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.160 That's why the first verse is so short, because I'm like, fuck, 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.480 I don't write these kind of songs for real. So 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.839 I have to write a verse about a bitch I 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.439 met in the club, which I don't meet bitches in 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:24.839 the club. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.080 So his hook kind of dictated like, okay, well now 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:27.640 I gotta go. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.800 There, which makes sense because fifty cent I saw fifty 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.560 interviews like I can't even write a verse without a hook. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.440 I'm like, well, I can't write it. I get the 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.800 hook from the verse. That's how I write, Like I'm tupac, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.000 So that makes sense, buddy, killed it. I fucking. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.439 Write the verse. And then everybody's tired, mind you, They've 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:46.960 been in the studio all day. So I'm like, fun, 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.080 all right, can I take this song? And Todd is there? 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.400 Shout out to Todd. Todd is Larry Junes engineer. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:56.160 Okay, Todd didn't have to send me the session, mind you, 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.040 because that's not my session, right, I'm blowing Todd up, Yo, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.000 can you send me that session. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:01.880 I don't even have an engineer at the time. I'm like, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.640 how the fuck am I gonna I gotta finish this song? 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.040 Like Quick's in there. Quick saw me do my verse, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.120 saw me do it, and just dipped. He was all right, cool, 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.600 like keep doing your thing. Baby got up out of there. 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.000 I sat on that song for like maybe like a 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.679 month or two. And then this girl I'm dating at 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.160 the time, right now, I was about to say at 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.440 the time, do not don't leave me. This girl I'm 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:27.160 dating was as a fucking Channel Tress fan like she 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.360 loves him. She's like, no, you need to finish this song. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.280 It's the last thing you do. I'm like, all right, 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.880 a higher engineer with money I don't have in the studio, 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.000 I can afford finish the second verse. Then I have 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:44.640 to pay another session to get Barney Barney Bones who 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.160 helps Channel Right all the time, to come do his part, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.200 and then I have to book another session to mix 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.240 it master it. So at this point I'm in the 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.280 red in my own fucking budget. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.880 I'm like, damn truly independent. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:01.880 I'm truly independent, and I'm like, fuck dude, like whatever. Randomly, 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.200 a song I did with Smino and Jid because of Buddy. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.080 Buddy invited me to the session. I marked the song 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.320 that's my kind of rappers right marked it. It leaked 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.080 because you know, damn well, Jibs people and Smino aren't 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.680 going to just let some city let some shit leak out, 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.680 like I mean, let some shit clear that wouldn't have 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.880 got clear. They just got off tour. Oh yeah, they 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.320 had the dre they had the dress right, yep, yep. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.440 So we're trying to like maybe perform the song. You know, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.440 it's very like high hopes, like maybe Whybeo will drop 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:35.560 it after the tour, very very very immature thinking. But 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.480 I mean they're both on major labels too. It's not 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.360 happening for me. It's a little bit harder. It's a 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.960 little bit harder to get those records out. It's almost like, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.480 if you're an independent artist, it would behoove you to 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.160 work with major artists. It's like it was cool to 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.240 send around to people and. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.960 Yeah, like I got some shit with Jit and but 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.120 I guess one of the engineers at the studio heard 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.040 it and he mixed it and sent it to me, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:58.359 and then it leaked. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.400 It was a form of Smino Jid leaks that came out. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.240 The leak got to. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.600 Create music, create music, heard that it was creating, So 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:08.280 I posted it. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.520 Now everybody's posting. 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:10.840 It like fucking we got off here, we can keep 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.520 up with Jid and Smino, duh. And then fucking that 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.000 got me a little distribution deal with Create that helped 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.320 me pay for the video for this, and helped me 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.640 get me a nice little car.
