38
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,319

Speaker 2: the party scene. Because it was about to be the summertime,

48
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: so I wanted, like, well that summer I wanted to

49
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: be able to go to different parties and perform, just

50
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: to have something to do on the weekend. And because

51
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: I already wanted to rap, so that was when I

52
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: was doing. I was like, all right, let's make a

53
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,120

Speaker 2: talk about like crazy stuff that just turned parties up,

55
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,880

56
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,000

Speaker 2: with things, like sometimes I'm like real quiet and just

68
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: locking on my work. Sometimes I'm like a little bit

Speaker 2: think you.

78
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: Would have been doing if it wasn't this, like when

Speaker 1: you were in school. While you're in school, what was

80
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,400

00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: a senior. It's towards the end of the school year,

87
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what I'm gonna do. I had

88
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: plans to go to school like college, Like I really

89
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: didn't want to really. I was trying to see what

90
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: I could do to get around it. But but let.

91
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Me put out a hit song that won't go by

92
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: the way, congratulations gold single, thank you.

93
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean I wanted to go to school

94
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: for business because like I really loved like finance, big finance,

95
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: like financial literacy is really my thing. So like that

96
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: was all I was doing like that last like springtime,

97
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: like going towards summer, I was just reading and you know,

98
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: trying to get a little knowledge going because I was

99
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: like trying to be prepared. I really wasn't going to

100
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: go to school for business. And then I just ramomly

101
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: made this song when crazy I was gonna still make me.

102
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: I was already making music on the side. I was

103
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: never going to start making music. I was just getting

104
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: prepared to go to college.

105
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: And where did the name three on old Baby come from?

106
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I understand a three one, OK, but like when did

107
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: you start calling yourself that? Were you already calling yourself that?

108
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: Or did the song take off? And you were like

109
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: I got it?

110
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: So at that time, well, yeah, so I was dropping

111
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: music like this, like it wasn't going stupid. It was

112
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: just like me friends and like a couple of well

113
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: friends of friends, you know, mutual was listening and I

114
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: did call myself doing no baby, but it was yeah,

115
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: just I don't know it just well like you said,

116
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: like you know the la thing, right, do you want

117
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: no baby? And then it was a point in time

118
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: where like twenty twenty, when I was trying to figure out, like, oh,

119
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to rap and make music and put it out,

120
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: I was trying to figure out what I was going

121
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: to call myself. I didn't want to call myself just

122
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: my government or like I don't know I didn't want

123
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: a corny name, like I don't want nothing too like

124
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: weird or something that sounded too local. Okay, because when

125
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: they look at my name, I mean, aside from the

126
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: three on no part, I don't think it seems too like, oh,

127
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: that's an LA guy for sure.

128
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: Right, but you do like you identify with you know,

129
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: you want people to know you're from LA, like yeah, yeah.

130
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, I think that's important well ingoo specifically,

131
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: but then too yeah, and then I know like baby

132
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: is common with the rap. That's why I did the

133
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: two eyes.

134
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: Instead of just so why look at you already doing

135
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: branding and everything that's important. Now when it comes to finances,

136
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: you said you read a lot of books, and that's

137
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: something that you thought you would be going to school

138
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: for after all of this business. Where did that come

139
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: from for you? Like I know sometimes we get sparked

140
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: with those ideas. It comes from like either our parents

141
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: or something that happened. But what made you say this

142
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: is something that I'm interested in?

143
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: Honestly, I just I've always wanted to have financial freedom.

144
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: I never liked that feeling of like not being able

145
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: to buy something, or like hearing stories or like people

146
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: in my family talk about like like oh I could

147
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: buy this, but like that's too much, or the next

148
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: thing is too much, like I buy this but not that, right,

149
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't like that, And then like it

150
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: seems like like not owning homes was like the.

151
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: Norm, right, or like life and having to worry about

152
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: getting the bills and being behind on things. Although even

153
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: when you own a home, you still got to pay

154
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: those property taxes. Yeah, and a lot of maintenance. So

155
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting because some people will tell you

156
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: if you talk to like a grant cardon, he'll be

157
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: like owning a home. He doesn't do that. He only

158
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: buys things that he rents out that he rents the people,

159
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: and then he rents his own property. Yeah, right, So

160
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: it depends on who. I love investing in real estate.

161
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: So I have a few different properties and I own

162
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: my home. It makes me feel a lot more stable

163
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: and also to know that I have something if I

164
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: ever needed to sell it, because I think part of

165
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: the way that I grew up, I'm always thinking about

166
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: what if something happens and you lose it, How do

167
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: I make sure that I always have something going just

168
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: in case other things don't work out, like multiple streams

169
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: of income.

170
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's like the well, like the

171
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: pros of it is like, you know, at the end

172
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: of the day, if I own this property, I had like,

173
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: this is my property. The thing like with stocks and stuff,

174
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: this is cool, and it could be you know, you

175
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: can come up off the stock a little bit right

176
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: or on a piece of a company, but that could

177
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: dip tomorrow right at the end of the day. I

178
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: think there's risk with owning property, but I feel like

179
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: you can't compare that to the stock game. It's like

180
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: it's way that you could wake up and be done.

181
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: At least you can kind of prepare see your property,

182
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: like if you know, if the market is down, you

183
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: could kind of you know.

184
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: It's interesting I look at the stocks as a long

185
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: term then, because a lot of wealthy people have a

186
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: huge stock portfolio, but a lot of that is not

187
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: going to be Like it's so rare to invest in

188
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: the stock and then all of a sudden you get

189
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: a huge return. But what can happen is you invest

190
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: long term, so like it's money that you don't have

191
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: to worry about, Like if I lose it, I'm not

192
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: going to be broke. It's extra money that I put

193
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: into the stock market so that it can grow, and

194
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: I forget that I have it, and then later on

195
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: ten years from now, I'm like, oh, look at how

196
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: my stock grew. Because I do feel like though it

197
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: is something that we need to be more concerned about

198
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: and a lot more accessible with a lot of the apps, yeah,

199
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: that we have available so you can invest because a

200
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: lot of the things they tell you should invest in

201
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: long term or things that you use in everyday life,

202
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: like you might be like I use Tide detergent, or

203
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I buy a Nike sneakers. Let me invest in the

204
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: stock to a little money and see what happens. Did

205
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: you ever get into crypto at all?

206
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: Okay? Look so like.

207
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: He come the story where somebody say so look right?

208
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: So like the you know, like the NFTs. When I

209
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: was going on, I was like a firm believer, like

210
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: I thought that was it and like I used to

211
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: like watch like like live streams like people like you know,

212
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: with all like the markets up and like really locked in,

213
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: like I was trying to understand it, and I did well,

214
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: not too specific, but I was involved in like NFTs

215
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: a little bit and even with the crypto thing, but.

216
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: It didn't work out for you. For some people it did.

217
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Some people cashed out.

218
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: And now, okay, because the thing, the thing I was

219
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: trying to all this has been me like my whole

220
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: life is that there's been so many like for example,

221
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: like the stock thing, you have to be eighteen. I

222
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: was trying to figure out how I could sell and

223
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: trade stocks at fifteen. Okay, So it's like for so

224
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: long I was trying to figure out how to do

225
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: things that I really couldn't. So like the crypto thing,

226
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: I needed a bank account, didn't have one. I needed.

227
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: I needed to be a teen, you know that all

228
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: this stuff, and then I had to figure out that

229
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: the stuff with like taxes. So around that time, all

230
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: I was doing was learning that. And then what I

231
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: did do is that there's something called investor Pedia yep,

232
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: and that's like a simulator. So at school, I was

233
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: in an investment club. So that's how I was kind

234
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: of cooking it. So I knew I wasn't old enough

235
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: and I didn't have necessarily, like I didn't really have

236
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: the capital to trade, but I used investor Pedia. They

237
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: give you a hundred thousand dollars and you know, make

238
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: it work. I was first place in the investment first

239
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: place an investment club two times. It was only I

240
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: was only in it two times, like well, you know,

241
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: two years and I won both.

242
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: But that's a cook. Congratulations, that's huge. I love that.

243
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Thank you.

244
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I love that story.

245
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: For it.

246
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: I felt like you'll end up doing some type of

247
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: nonprofit work too.

248
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: And for sure, yeah, yeah, for.

249
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Sure, because I could see I'm gonna be honest, I

250
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: could see some of these these financial companies wanting to

251
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: partner up because that's the perfect audience. You know. They've

252
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: said that if you start a bank account, the earlier

253
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: you do that, the more chances there are that to

254
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: be successful later in life.

255
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: And I mean, I agree with that for sure because

256
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people that are my age

257
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: without a bank account.

258
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: What did you get your first bank account?

259
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: So? I had a savings account around I think thirteen,

260
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: opened my first line of credit at sixteen, wow, and

261
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: I recently just opened checking.

262
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like I need a loan from me? Good,

263
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: don't do it. Don't co sign anything for anybody either.

264
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: What is it that your parents do that has you

265
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: on this track? Also?

266
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: I mean, like my mom, Like really it is not

267
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: necessarily what she does, but my mom has always been

268
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: big on education. Now rather that's his traditional But what

269
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: it is, what I've done is kind of grab what

270
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: the traditional education is, like get like, you know what

271
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: am I trying to stay here? So basically the traditional.

272
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: Schooling, right, it's a you know, formal education.

273
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: Right, formal education. But what I did with that is

274
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: I took that basic intellect put it towards something else

275
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: that I really cared about. Because I may not care

276
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: about the regular English or history or math or whatever, right,

277
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: but if I can take that same drive right and

278
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: that my mom would enforce onto me, right and put

279
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: it towards something else, that could be the same thing.

280
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: It's just education is universal, not just right.

281
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: I know English, I could write these songs, they'd be bangers,

282
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: and then you also figured out a way to market

283
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: and promote them. So tell me how things took off

284
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: for you, Like when did you first realize, oh, this

285
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: is really happening TikTok.

286
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: So? I mean it went up like local just on

287
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 2: Instagram or whatever. But then once I started seeing like

288
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: they stride that's huge on TikTok.

289
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: I know you was hype that day.

290
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: Now it was crazy that I mean after that, like

291
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: the TikTok stuff, all the TikTok stuff, this one dumb

292
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: and like starting to see the TI when I've seeing

293
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: the tiktoks go up like a thousand, ten thousand a day,

294
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: I knew at that point it was out of here.

295
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: And these athletes, like did they even know who you were?

296
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Because that song was big, probably before people even realized

297
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: like this is a high school kid.

298
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean some athletes were following me tour, like

299
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, they see me, but some didn't.

300
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: I don't think they knew. But I think now we're

301
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: getting to that point where they're putting the face of

302
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: the song, and yeah, it's about that time.

303
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: So when you turn eighteen or was that celebration, Like.

304
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: So what we did is we met. Well. So I

305
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: did my first show on my birthday at the Roxy

306
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: in Hollywood, sold out. I think I was the youngest

307
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: to sell out the Roxy too in Hollywood. So yeah,

308
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: that was my That was my eighteenth birthday, my first show,

309
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: sold it out.

310
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: And work and work is fun for you.

311
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it don't feel like it's like the thing is this,

312
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: Like I love this, right, and aside from the incentives

313
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: that come with this or the pros like money or

314
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 2: this or whatever, right, at the end of the day,

315
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: I love this and what I do, like when I

316
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: talk to kids at school or talk to my peers,

317
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: as I tell them, I was like, at the end

318
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: of the day, it's like we you know, we have

319
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: to oh, what do you want to do? Parents ask

320
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: us or those ask us, and then we'll say, like

321
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 2: a doctor or like we'll say whatever whatever because we

322
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: see like that base salary. But it's like you don't

323
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: want to like have a job and be miserable and

324
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: then you're there just because of like, oh this dollar amount,

325
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: because then it's like at that point, it's not it

326
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: ain't it like I wanted, Like, I love doing this.

327
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: Aside from the pros, I love this because I love

328
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: to make music and I love that it's endless. Whatever

329
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: I wanted to spin off and do from this, I

330
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: can do because the end of the day, all we're

331
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: doing is you're building a brand.

332
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, did you make that beat yourself?

333
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: No?

334
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so tell me who was working with you?

335
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: No? So I screen record to beat off YouTube? Okay,

336
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: And yeah it was like a couple. It was like

337
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 2: a couple of months old, and I just got it

338
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: off YouTube screen recorded and I like loaded onto the

339
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: band lab because I made my songs on mad Lap

340
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: on my phone, loaded it up and did it like

341
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty minutes.

342
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Did you have to get clearance to be able to

343
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: use it?

344
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: No? Because I used this your kids, So I mean

345
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: it's pretty illegal what I did. But when you're not,

346
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't have any.

347
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Business, you're not thinking, you're not knowing what's going to happen,

348
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: You're just having fun.

349
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: I knew of it. I mean I always knew that,

350
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: like if I if a song blew up like dah,

351
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: you need, you know, handle the business. But at that point,

352
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 2: I'm grinding, like I'm just trying to I'm trying to

353
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: get one. I'm trying to catch one. It's like you

354
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: can't you know, I'm not gonna go buy be defive,

355
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying at that time, like I'll

356
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: go broke.

357
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: So when you realize the impact of the song, what

358
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: did you do next? You know, because as a person

359
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: with the business mind like you have, then what are

360
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: some things that you said, Okay, I have to put

361
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: this in place and figure it out to get to

362
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: where you are now.

363
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: I mean, so what I did is I just looked

364
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: at like other artists right there that were bigger than

365
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: me or whatever. And this was early, This was like

366
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: still in the summer, so like June July, before I

367
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: even linked up with like my manager and the rest

368
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: of the team, I just took the single the Silk City.

369
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: This was in June when it was first starting to

370
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: pop this locally and it was still going like going up,

371
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,239
Speaker 2: going crazy. I just attached it to a little mixtape

372
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: because I knew that if people were gonna come for

373
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: this one song, I wanted to like yeah, so I

374
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: like I did like a little, I like edited a

375
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: little video on my phone, like created like a baby rollout,

376
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: and then I just did the best that I could

377
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: with the knowledge that I knew at that time. Now

378
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: I know a lot more now would have did so

379
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: much different, But I think it's just experience.

380
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, what would you have

381
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: done differently?

382
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: Now?

383
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: As you said, you learned a lot more.

384
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: Honestly, I would have shot more content before Soilk City

385
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: in general, but even yeah, even after, but I would

386
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: have shot more content. I would have had more photos.

387
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: I would have I would have tapped in with DJs

388
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: and tried to see what I could have done, even

389
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: though I wouldn't have been like known, but I would

390
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: tried to because I know DJs. So even if it's

391
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: like DJs that are younger, like teenage DJs, like trying

392
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: to get them to spin my records and building relationships

393
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: with them.

394
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: I feel like that's an audience that labels are always

395
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: trying to reach too, Like how do we reach these kids?

396
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: That's why they love TikTok, Like labels are always trying

397
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: to figure out the algorithm to make a song blow

398
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: up on TikTok. So you were able to do that organically,

399
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: and maybe if you would have had a whole plan,

400
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have worked.

401
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everything that for a reason, I don't yeah,

402
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: and I don't how I did say, Oh I would

403
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: have done it different. That doesn't mean I regret it, right,

404
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: because I really don't regret things in life because the

405
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: day it's like if I would regret that, or regret this,

406
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: or did something different, because the thing is the way

407
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: life goes is if I would have done one thing different,

408
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be here with you right now, the smallest

409
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: little thing. That's how I think. It's like everything, it's

410
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: just meant to be.

411
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: So now, so you have a new album, all right,

412
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: nights and weekends, nice week I kind of feel like

413
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: I know why you call it that.

414
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: But let me know our Nice Weekend drop in February

415
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: twenty third. I want to hear why you think.

416
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: Well, I just figured that's when you do your music

417
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: on the nights and the weekends and perform and you know,

418
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is school, it's during the.

419
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Day, but you have a high IQ. A lot of

420
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: people didn't catch that. They wanted me to explain, like

421
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: they didn't get it. Why do you call it that?

422
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: You know? So that is why Nice Weekends only could

423
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: work at night and on the weekend.

424
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,359
Speaker 1: But look at your working now during the day because.

425
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, certain arrangements have to be made.

426
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: You know, when is graduation June? Okay, in June? Are

427
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: you performing at graduation? Did they ask you to do

428
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: anything special? Because it is a big deal.

429
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: It's a minute the way they have to asked me

430
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: what we have to see? You know, I might be

431
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: in Australia, all.

432
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Right, let's start on it. You don't want to, but

433
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: you would want to be at your graduates.

434
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: Now I'm just talking. I'm just I'm just talking. Maybe

435
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: that week, but that day. Yeah, yeah, because we know

436
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: we're in international calls right now, you know.

437
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Talk about it. You had your passport already.

438
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: No, we're cooking that right now.

439
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: So you haven't been out the country yet. That's huge.

440
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big deal. You're gonna love it

441
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: so much. I just think about when you travel, like

442
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: to other countries and see things. It's going to influence

443
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: when you even think about like how you're going to

444
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: make music moving forward. I know a lot of people

445
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: have been reaching out to you too. I saw Wiz

Speaker 2: Said yeah, so yeah, I mean we're cooking. You know.

456
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: Is that you that said these the people I want

457
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: or how or was it a collaboration like who is

458
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: the person that you listen to, who works with you

459
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: as far as figuring out, like we got to get

460
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: this collab, let's get this beat, let's go in the studio.

461
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: So it's funny. So how it goes for me in

462
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: my life and especially with this music is a lot

463
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: of things just happen like boom, like oh that's just perfect.

464
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: So like with Tyler's like boom, like we're both young

465
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: youth going up. It's only it only makes sense boom

466
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: at Lata Florida easy and it's not like a reach

467
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: like things usually just happen for me, like it'll be

468
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: right there, like it would just makes sense, perfect timing.

493
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: Da d d how about the remix? Like how does

494

Speaker 1: that happen? Did Dave?

495
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: That's a prime example of what I was saying is

496
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: that each one of those people on the remix just

497
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: tapped in like it was just like boom every week

498
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: or something else. It was the point where it was

499
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: like crunch time, like dang, what are we going to do?

500
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 2: We have so many verses, but you see we made.

501
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: It work, okay, all right? And so what are your

502
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: expectations for this album?

503
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: Honestly?

504
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Like what do you want what would be success to you?

505
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 2: Success? I think, hmmm, So look for me, I just

506
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: wanted to get something out right to where like the

507
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: because catalog matters, right, it's not just Boom the one

508
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: song now. So what I wanted to do is I

509
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: want to make sure I can cater to different audiences,

510
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: Like I want something for everybody. It's not just one sound.

511
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: And I think just showing people the success or what

512
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: it would be success to me is just the people

513
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 2: hearing it, saying even if I don't, even if they

514
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: don't like it, hearing that this kid could like really

515
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: make songs that are real songs, like it doesn't have

516
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 2: to be a catchy TikTok song, Like he actually has

517
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: a good song that now. Rather or not they like it,

518
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: that's up to them. I don't care about that, right,

519
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: because it's somebody for everybody, right. I might not be

520
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: their favorite artist, but I want people to see like

521
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm the real deal. Now when it comes to oh

522
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: is he the gold and all this? Like that, time

523
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 2: will tell and as I but they'll see though they'll

524
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: see those it's not too much to talk about that

525
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: they'll see.

526
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: And when it came to your first show. How did

527
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: you prepare for that?

528
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: Just a little rehearsal and just having the vision, like

529
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: what did I want this to be? Like me and

530
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: my manager just talking like what do we want this

531
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: to look like? Do we want this to be like

532
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: a regular show where it's just whack or do we

533
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: want to make this some moments where every kid in

534
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: that audience once it comes to three one o babies?

535
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 2: Next show?

536
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: Okay, and you know I should couldn't get Justin Bieber

537
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: to perform at the super Bowl, but somehow he managed

538
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: to do a cover of your song. How did you

539
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: feel when you saw that?

540
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: Man? Wait, who said? Who?

541
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber?

542
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, with the guitar, the drums, I mean the

543
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: drums so honestly, like so Justin blew up young. M h,

544
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: I blew up young. And to see that it was

545
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: it was like Justin, Like I don't know, it felt

546
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: fake at first, because like it was like to even

547
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: see it, like even though it was the drums and

548
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: not him like making a freestyle or whatever like Wiz did,

549
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: It's just it all just feels fake. It all just

550
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: feels fake. You know, it all just feels fake. But

551
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel I don't feel like I'm out of place,

552
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: Like I feel like I'm I'm where I'm supposed to

553
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: be and everything is supposed to be. It's just crazy.

554
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: Even feels a little like even talking to now like

555
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't not to seem like I'm not

556
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: prepared with this, but it's just just like revisiting that,

557
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 2: like I've almost forgot about that. It's like, that's crazy, right.

558
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you've been doing your press runs though.

559
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: Not we've been working. I mean, it's just certain things

560
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: we gotta to do if you want to be the best, right.

561
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: Right, Really, yeah, media is part of it. It is

562
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: still a job. Even though you like it and it's enjoyable,

563
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: it's still a job and people have to understand that.

564
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: So but fortunately it seems like you have the energy

565
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: and the mindset to be able to make it happen.

566
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: So do you have brothers and sisters?

Speaker 2: really stand yet. They don't understand yet, like what's about

583
