Does that 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.200 mean like once things get a little toxic in a relationship, 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.680 because then there's the butterfly stage. I always say, you're 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.479 getting a relationship, things are beautiful, and then you know 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:35.600 what happens when the butterflies go away. 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.000 I wouldn't call it toxic. I don't think it's toxic. 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.880 Sometimes just becomes like you know, I mean real and realistic, 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.520 like realistically people are not gonna be like in love 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.320 well super duper in love every single day forever. Like 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.040 of course that happens like in the beginning where you 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.600 see the kind of girl I am, like, I see 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.680 no wrong in the beginning, like you can't do no 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.720 wrong the honeymoon stage. Yes, basically after the honeymoon stage 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:06.360 and when the rose colored glasses come off and it's like, Okay, yeah, 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.080 there's things that actually don't like about you, and like 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.120 things that you don't like about me, and disagreements and 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.839 like possibility of a breakup. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.440 You know, Like no, yeah, like once you first start 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.720 dating somebody, you'll put all of the like if you're 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.679 really into somebody, all the stuff that everything is you 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:24.399 just put to the side. 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.360 I even love the flaws, like I love this, like 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.759 in the beginning, I love the things that I shouldn't. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.240 So let me ask you this because I feel like 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.320 it's unfair of women to like love something about somebody 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.600 or even men too, because this happens a lot. Like 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.560 I have friends of mine who, like my wife used 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.240 to be a dancer, so I didn't never give a fuck, 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.240 still don't give a fuck, uh huh. But I have 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.200 homies of mine who like, like you'll fall like you'll 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.200 fall for somebody like and fall for them in a 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.040 certain line of work or for who they are at 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.280 a certain time, and then hold that against them later. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:58.040 M hmm. 0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.960 Have you ever done that? Are you guilty of that? 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.360 No? Wait, hold on, maybe I spoke too quick. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.840 It's like you like some of the flaws, like you 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.120 embraced the flaws initially, but eventually you're like, man, I 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.320 don't like you because this is what it's like. Well, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:10.600 you like you knew that you knew what it was 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.080 and that you have Yes. 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.079 It's something that you like went into knowing it was there, 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.760 you didn't mind it, and then all of a sudden, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.480 like all of a sudden, yeah, hmm, I don't know 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.359 why my voice is correct like that, But what could 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:24.840 I say? 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:25.720 Maybe? 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.800 Uh, sometimes girls I won't say like this is like 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:34.840 specifically to me, but sometimes girls love that that little 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.720 like telling you what the do kind of thing when 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.600 a guy's like, no, you ain't, don't wear this or 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.840 don't do that, and like it's like, oh, it's so cute, 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.360 like he don't want me to care, but yeah, like 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.640 or he's you know, it's cute, he's a little but 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:51.800 then after a while it becomes controlling and it becomes like, okay, annoying, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.520 like you're not my dad.

I feel like a lot 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.320 of people don't believe in this, but therapy therapy is 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.839 really good because it's good to have like a non 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.800 biased couple. Couples therapy is great, and the individual therapy 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.039 because I do feel like a lot of reasons why 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:18.080 relationships don't work out is because individually, like we haven't 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.840 like healed our own traumas. So like something that your 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:27.800 partner could do could trigger something from like yeah like 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.960 make yeah, and it's like a route behind it, Like 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.800 it could be nothing even super huge about it, but 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.359 like something really triggered something you went through, Like I know, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:42.800 I have triggers and traumas from like just people telling 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.279 me what to do and people controlling me, and so 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.160 like even if in the past I've gotten mad, like 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.840 if he's tried to give me some advice and it 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.719 maybe was like a little it was just a little 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.040 too sometimes the truth be hurting and it like. 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.159 Triggers something from the past. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.599 Yeah yeah, when really he was just trying to look 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.719 out for my best entry. So I mean that's just 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.480 an example. I feel like therapy, couples therapy, regular therapy, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.680 and just like keeping it spicy. I feel like when 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.480 you stay in the house and you just especially if 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.920 you live with a person, like if y'all are trapped 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.480 in four walls and you just do the same thing 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.560 every day, especially if you got kids, like y'all need 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.760 to get out the house and do new things, like 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.440 things that y'all haven't done together, even if it's in 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.760 the same city or go on vacation whatever, But like 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.440 make new memories always because if you don't have nothing 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.720 to talk about, everything just becomes like super bland. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.720 No, it's definitely hard, especially when you have kids in 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:36.200 your own. 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.760 The kids do a number.

He'll be 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.280 sitting there and having breakfast and he throws on YouTube 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:39.800 on the big TV, but he puts the shorts on 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.360 and he'll just hit next and I'm like, they love 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.280 the shorts. It's crazy. This is this is the generation 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:46.360 of children that we both have. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.079 It's scary. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.160 We'll see what they grow up to end up being. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.319 Well, I'm gonna keep praying over minds because. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.240 For sure, So I do think therapy is something that 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.560 like there's obviously you know a lot of people have 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.280 starting to kind of break down the I guess the 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.679 negative stigma about it. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.280 What's the negative stigma? 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:07.760 I just think I think I think, you know, in 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.480 the last decade or so, like it's been a lot 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.600 more acceptable to like openly say hey, I'm going to therapy. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.600 I think before you would think that there was something 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.240 with you, you know, but it's not. It's like sometimes 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.840 you need to kind of work through like stuff that's 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.400 subconsciously there that you don't even know. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.480 I feel like everyone in the whole entire world needs therapy. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:26.200 I agree. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.920 It's it doesn't mean you're crazy or you're psychotic. It's 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.920 I feel like, because every one of this whole world's 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.439 life is not perfect and everyone has been through something. 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.280 Even if your life was like super good growing up, 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:42.240 there's something, there's like something that you could maybe heal 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.439 from or maybe not. I don't know, Maybe I could 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.480 be wrong, but majority of us need something to heal from. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.360 So one hundred percent. Have you ever done any psychedelics? 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:51.480 Oh? What's that? 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:52.800 Oh? 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:53.679 I don't do drugs. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.600 Oh okay, Well, I mean, you know, some people say 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.400 they're drugs and people say they're not drugs, they're healing. Yeah. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.280 I don't do drugs. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:00.840 I have I have. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.800 I have smoke weed before, and I really didn't have 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.200 a good experience with it. I would never in my 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.480 life do an edible. I see people go crazy. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.400 Don't ever eat weed. That's the worst, worst idea. So 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.480 the thing about shrooms is like, uh, there's like it. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.079 So they just legalized them in organ last year. I think. 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.080 So like veterans who have PTSD, they go through psilocybin therapy, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.480 and then like it really is, like eventually, I mean, 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.199 I'm sure that it. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:32.800 Can help some people. Don't get me wrong. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.160 It's gonna be like a legal form of therapy in 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.320 the next decade for sure. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:42.600 Okay, so drugs and therapyrooms. Like what are shrooms though? 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.720 Is that like an actual mushroom that grows from the ground? 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.240 Correct? 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:45.920 Really? 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.040 Yes, we eat Uh No, there's different types of mushrooms. Obviously, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.359 these are psychoactive. They have an ingredient called psilicytal. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.040 I probably would go insane. I would probably. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:11:01.199 Die, but you might not. That's great rooms. Well, shout 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.520 out to you. I mean, I feel like I'm always 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.000 impressed when I see someone with a beautiful voice also 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.400 be a pothead. Really, Oh, Like, you smoke a lot 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.040 to have to be able to sing. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.120 Like that, Like sometimes it helped the raspiness of people voices. 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.560 True, if you've got the raspy thing going, I get that. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.600 You've also kind of been like one of the go 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.400 to like hook people. I feel like for a lot 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.440 of rappers, what has been like your favorite hook you've 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.840 cut that wasn't for your own. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:33.040 Shit, for my own song A hook? I think you know, 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.440 I did one for a jez It's Gez, Bennit, the Butcher, 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.520 the real hood songs. I just like I like being 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.160 the bringing the sugar to the spice or how have 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.120 you say it. Like I like being the sweet voice 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.920 that comes on like a real rough knick kind of song. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.720 It's easy to do it with melodic rappers, of course. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.520 I like to specifically do hooks on like the thug 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:01.360 thugged out. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.600 Because like in the two thousands, that. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.840 Was the thing. Yeah, I would have been that girl. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.599 With an amazing dope female singer, male singer, and it 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.760 would be like a dope record, like even back when. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.080 Like I mean, I love Tupac, like I grew up 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.800 on Tupac. My mom loved Tubac so like the women 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.400 that he would have on there, like just singing the 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.040 heart out. I feel like if I was back in 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.120 that era, that would have been me. 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.200 You would have Beac like your goat, my goat. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.760 Yeah I never really said he was my goat, who's 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.640 my I mean he is. He's definitely like a fave. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.520 Like I have a lot of faves that are like, 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:42.319 oh Gez, like like Whitney Houston. Yeah, but yeah, I love, love, love. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.760 Tupac Who's who do you think? I think Whitney's probably 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:46.720 got the best voice. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:51.599 Ever, best voice ever. She has a very like, very powerful, 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:57.440 one of the best voices. Adele there too, Kiki Wyatt, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.160 for sure, her voice is insane. Of course Beyonce's voice 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:07.720 is insane, but that's like everybody knew that their best performance. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.760 But Whitney's vocals. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.680 I just feel like you put up. Like we're in 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.400 a room, there's no mics. You just got a. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.920 Belt, right, just command the whole room. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.680 Yeah, shout to Whitney. What's your what's your growing up? 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.680 What was like your favorite top two or three R 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.120 and B albums? 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:30.720 Top two or three R and B albums? Hmm? Do 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.800 I have to say albums? Because sometimes I would just 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:38.960 kick songs from albums my top to growing up, I 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.920 listened to a lot of Now this is only up 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.760 from my mom what she would listen to. Like, I 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:50.360 listened to a lot of Monica, Lawrence Hill, t O 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:58.319 C S W, v Ashanti and uh A, I Love 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.400 I wanted to be here when I was. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.000 She just re recorded her albums because she didn't own 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.199 her masters, so she did a whole new version of 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.040 her debut album so if you're gonna stream a shanty 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.040 stream the new version, yeah. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:10.280 Go get that. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.280 She gets paid off of that. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.160 Yeah, and see that's a beautiful thing. I currently own 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.080 my masters, so that's amazing. Yeah. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.040 I was that something that you got from the jump 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.200 or did you have to negotiate that? 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.800 I got it from the jump, from front and beginning 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:24.480 of being signed. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.040 That's important, Yeah, very important because now you don't have 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.320 to re sing your ship in twenty years. Yeah, because 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.960 it don't. It happened. I mean, Taylor Swift just had 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:32.320 to do it. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.720 You know, that's crazy. I think maybe they had to 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.120 redo it because back then maybe it was stricter things, 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.200 stricter policies. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.040 There was worse deals back then. Oh yeah, the record 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.680 deals back then were terrible. They were the worst. Well, 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.080 shout out to God, shout out to you. You got the 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.200 You also had the leverage to ask for your masters, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.640 because a lot of artists, if they're brand new, they 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:53.400 don't have like you have. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.400 I came I came in with leverage when I was 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.200 signed because I already had a fan base. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:59.920 You had the YouTube, Yeah, the YouTube going. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.240 Yeah, I already have a fan base. So if no 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.520 one else in the world listens to me, my my 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.880 five million, or whatever percentage of them they're gonna listen. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.720 I was gonna say, coming in as like a you 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.000 like someone who had a YouTube fan base, You've done 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.520 such a great job of like people, Well, first of all, 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.200 you have people who know you from that, but you 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:20.800 also have people who just know the music. But I 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.880 feel like you've kind of been the kind of sole example. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.600 I think Ddg's done a solid job. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.200 I'm the female, he's a meal. 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.040 But I feel like you did such a good job 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.880 of like I don't even think of you as like that. 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.520 Like there's been some YouTubers making music and the music 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.320 sucks and then they go back to YouTube. Yeah, but 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.840 you're like, to me, you're an artist first now, like 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.160 you're so talented. How men music so high level. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.840 I like to say that I'm not a YouTuber that 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.560 turned into an artist. I've I've always been an artist 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.960 that just turned into a YouTuber and now I'm doing 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:50.880 what I was posted. 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.600 It just so happened that, like some people discovered you 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:52.840 on you. 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.840 Yeah that was a I guess that was the thing, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.600 because you know, I did American Idol too. Well, I'm 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.320 just say one because the first time I'm make the 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.680 first round. But I did American Night on. I thought 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.040 that was my way. When I was eighteen, I thought 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.320 that was going to be my way to you know, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:08.520 to make it, to make it. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:09.480 How far did you get? 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.720 I think top forty and they booted me. They were 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:14.280 boot and groups they had to get rid of people. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.240 So I, you know, yeah, my dreams were really crushed. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.520 But I was young, and so then from then I 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.440 was like, I'm not going to really do music anymore. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.720 Maybe this industry is not for me. Maybe I should 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:26.520 just do gospel. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:26.760 You know. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.840 I grew up singing in church. But then I started 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.400 YouTube because like I mean, I had I got pregnant, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.480 I had a son. It was broke, and like YouTube 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.280 was you know, it was there. It was there. 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.000 People don't know it's free to like if you have 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.600 a camera, you have an iPhone, yeah, you could make 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:45.200 a YouTube change. 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.400 But we were doing it off of iPhone. Yeah, and 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.520 then eventually when you get that first check, you get 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:54.600 your camera. But like I still say, like to this day, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.760 you know, I left YouTube for a little bit, but 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.120 I'm going back. Are I'm going back? 0:16:59.120 --> 0:16:59.320 Well? 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.320 I used to do like pranks and flog daily blogs 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:03.840 and things like that. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.840 Would you do you like the fake couple pranks? 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.040 Yeah, I will say if some of them were playing, 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:12.960 because it's entertainment. But I won't do those things anymore 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.440 because I just feel like that's cringey. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.400 Now, oh, because they're obviously fake. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.320 Yeah, I mean no, no, people still watch. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:20.520 A lot of them, but a lot of those like 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.960 shots Mike, I missed it. Who was one of those kids? 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:23.600 It's still fake. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.400 They were so fake and I was just like, god, yeah, 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.400 but it's people. Can you fake cheat on your girl 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.440 before she realizes it's not real? 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.399 Yeah, I mean that's just like that's. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.280 But it works. But I think that was that was 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:38.360 an era of YouTube. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.119 Yeah, like everybody knew, like no one's getting a pencil 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:42.200 stuck in their eye, like. 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.359 You know what, but what are you gonna do? Now? 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.679 So no, that's what I was getting too. So I 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.639 decided to go back. And I don't know why I 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.320 called it a podcast, because now it's super it's like 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.680 being taken serious. So now I have a responsibility to 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.320 keep up.

But I'm saying though, like 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:02.240 know what I'm saying that things should be handled before. 0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:06.040 I feel like miridal counseling is really good, like premridal 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.639 counseling before you Yeah, because like a lot of times, 0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.159 I do see like couples last a long time outside 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:16.160 of marriage. As soon as they get married, they get divorced. 0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:18.560 And I'm a heavy believer in marriage. I still believe 0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:20.840 in marriage. I still believe it could work. It all 0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:23.000 depends on the two people and of course keeping God 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:28.560 like in your marriage. You know what I'm saying. But yeah, 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:32.960 it ain't no rush. But it's not a rush for marriage, 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:35.840 but it is like a little rush for like the ring, 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.440 because it's like, okay, at least if you propose, then 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.120 we know where we headed. We've had conversations about it, 0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.360 like I know that he's going to but it's. 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.760 Like, okay, six years yeah, yeah. 0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:49.560 But you know, sometimes men they want to get certain 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:51.160 things out the way, like he wants to put out 0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:53.600 his clothing line and you know, like they want to 0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.600 feel like they got apportionately life. 0:28:56.640 --> 0:29:02.440 If you guys get married, him sign the prenup. We haven't. 0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:06.760 We spoke us about we spoke about it. I don't 0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.840 know though, I don't I don't know, but probably Yeah, 0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.120 for sure. I just feel like that it's only fair 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.920 that if we walk away from each other, it's only 0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.880 fair that we walk away with what we came with, 0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.280 you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but I feel like 0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:21.720 I got the kind of relationship to that, Like I 0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.120 don't think he would ever try to You don't think No, 0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.440 I don't think so, you don't think I don't think so. 0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:28.840 I don't think he'd try to come form. 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.200 Get the prenup. That's all I was saying. 0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:33.600 I feel you like it's smart. It is very smart. 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:35.360 But I'm just saying the person that I know, No, 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:36.640 I get it. You know what I'm saying. 0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:40.680 I get it, But run a. 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.479 Lot of women don't think though when they do end up. 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:45.239 You know, but yo, were you did you ever when 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:47.080 you were on to Mary J.

Yes, Scissa Sisster had like eleven 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:18.280 outfits and I was just like it was so fast. 0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.120 That's amazing. That's amazing, But like. 0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:22.760 Those you can have one outfit, I probably. 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.600 Would end up end up sticking with one outfit or 0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:25.720 too if I have a break. 0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:26.520 But I don't. 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:28.040 I don't feel the knee. I don't see the need 0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:29.200 for all them outfits. 0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:31.560 I just feel like it'd be so frantic it is. 0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:33.160 It's like I don't see the knee. 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:35.200 What's your favorite song on the EP? 0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:40.160 On my EP, I really liked the first song fading Away, 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:42.120 And I really liked the song with me and Monica. 0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.160 Shout out to Monica, Shout out to her.

That's like when I thought of 0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:05.840 like R and B like chicks, it was Monica and Brandon. Yep, 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.200 it was them two and then. 0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:09.720 And it's super dope because I get to grow up 0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:12.040 and be a part of it and they're still like around. 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.720 Yeah, have you ever like, how how long do you 0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:16.480 want to do music. 0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:18.479 That's a good question. 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.600 I want to do music because you know, like sometimes 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.640 you'll see people like like you know, Brandy's a perfect example, 0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:27.920 like we haven't had Brandy. Like Brandy will like come 0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.080 and go like every five or six seven years, like 0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:31.640 she kind of does it as she pleases. Now that 0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.160 she's kind of like a og is it something like 0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:33.680 you want to. 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:37.400 Okay, so I want to have Like so I dropped 0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:41.200 my very first EP when I first came here. It 0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:44.800 did really well, multiple platinum records, double platinum, thank you. 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.480 And then like that was twenty eighteen, and then in 0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.560 twenty twenty two years later, I dropped my debut album, Misunderstood, 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:58.520 which just went gold. Congratulations, thank you especially Yeah.

Oh that's smart, because 0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:32.480 sometimes you'll see these major labels, they'll they'll be like, nah, 0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.200 this is a mixtape, so it doesn't count against your. 0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:37.320 Do it counts for me?

It's the type of music if you go to 0:40:55.760 --> 0:41:00.000 a massage spot and you're you know, you got someone massage. 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:01.680 It's on in the background. 0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:03.279 How many how many tracks are on there? 0:41:04.000 --> 0:41:08.480 Listen, it's a ridiculous. It's only eight songs, but it's 0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:12.600 an hour and a half album. Each song's like ten minutes. 0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:17.080 If you're like at home and you want to do 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.919 some yoga, you want to meditate. Put on the Three 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:23.680 Stacks album. It's just flutes. It's a lot of flute 0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:25.960 shit going on. But I bought it on vinyl because 0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:28.319 I got out cast right there on vinyl, so I 0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:29.200 had to. I had to. 0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:31.839 Support, right, support the people you love. 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:33.760 As you say, you look, you have such a hardcore, 0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:38.399 like honed in fan base that like anytime you drop, 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.920 you gotta make sure you got you gotta have the vinyl. 0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:43.439 You gotta have that. Yeah. 0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:46.239 But see, that's why I didn't drop an album because 0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:48.799 I feel like none of that. Okay, So what people 0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:53.120 don't understand is you can't start getting vinyls ready or 0:41:54.120 --> 0:41:59.000 until everything's delivered to everything's delivered to all the DSPs. 0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.360 They don't want to start any process until everything's delivered. 0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:05.200 So for me, a lot of things are last minute. 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:07.640 You like somewhat to the Copper CD. 0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:10.759 I'll tell you all later on in my snapchat, don't 0:42:10.800 --> 0:42:12.120 I don't know. I have to go check. 0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:15.200 But like, so people like to collection like this now, 0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:19.080 like just like no one will ever like actually put 0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.240 this tape, but you could do it queen tape. 0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:23.520 I don't know if I do. I don't think I 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:25.440 have it for my EP PE, but I definitely have 0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:27.520 it for my debut album. So if y'all still want 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:31.080 to be but yeah, I meant next time around, we're 0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:34.120 gonna be we're gonna be a lot more organized. I 0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.800 just I couldn't stand to wait longer to drop music, 0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:39.719 like people would have forgot about me. 0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:42.160 Hey, what's the podcast called. 0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:43.359 Let's Talk About It? 0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:43.920 I like that. 0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:47.480 I named it after a song that I didn't put 0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:49.840 on my EP, but I released the song this earlier, 0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:53.640 this in January of twenty twenty three, and it's called 0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:55.319 Let's Talk About It, and so I thought it would 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:57.600 be perfect to for a podcast.

So I 0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:06.360 hit him. I was like thanks man, like yeah, you know, 0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:07.680 and I was like one day, I'd like to have 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:11.480 you other show. And he just liked the message. But 0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:13.879 it was like so random, nice guy from what I 0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:15.680 you know, our three messages. 0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:18.759 He was super supportive of the record. He ain't charged me. 0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:20.120 He didn't charge you. 0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:25.080 He didn't charge me wow for anything. He's charged a lot, 0:45:25.200 --> 0:45:27.920 Like I don't know why he chose to not charge me. 0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:29.880 I was like, are you sure, Like, let's rock with 0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.360 you and you know, one of the things that he 0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:34.600 told me, I don't understand it. But like when I 0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:36.960 was at his house, he was like he was like 0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:39.239 I need you more than you need me. And I'm 0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:42.200 like what, Like I really did not understand like that. 0:45:42.239 --> 0:45:44.520 I'm like, what you mean, like I need I think 0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:46.359 I think young boy like at the end of the day, 0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:49.120 like for whatever reason, the industry has kind of shunned him. 0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:50.600 So I think for him to do like a record 0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:53.520 with someone like you who's like a big deal singer, like, 0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:55.879 I feel like it helped. I feel like I feel 0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:58.520 like it's an habitual, you know thing, And I think 0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:00.959 I feel like young boys kind of like low key 0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:04.640 like Tupac to a lot of people in this generation, 0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:07.920 he is one of the ones. But for whatever reason, 0:46:08.480 --> 0:46:11.920 a lot of the gatekeeper is a hip hop they 0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:14.440 don't really rock with them.
