Speaker 2: That's crazy.

00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: You got a new EP, Pray for Me, coming out

16
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: on a twelve twelve, and you've been described like I

17
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: I've heard you describe yourself as coming from a place

18
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: of hunger and self belief. What was the exact moment

19
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: you realized music wasn't just something you love or something

20
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: you you had to do?

21
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: Uh?

22
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 4: If I'm be honest, I think back when I was

23
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: in college, I had entered like a competition, ended up

24
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: winning it, chanced to open for like Travis. So like,

25
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 4: I feel like after that moment, that was the moment

26
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: where I decided, like, Yo, this is what I'm gonna do.

27
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 4: I know how I was gonna do it, but I

28
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: just was kind of like, this is what it is.

29
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 5: Travis Scott, Traviscott, Travis, Yeah, Scott.

30
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: Fuck?

31
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 5: What was that?

32
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 6: So leading up to that moment when you're about to

33
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 6: open up for him, what's the self talk that you're

34
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 6: going through, because you do a lot of self talk

35
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 6: on this project.

36
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, self talk.

37
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 6: You're going through new artists opening up for Travis Scott,

38
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 6: global artists.

39
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: I mean back then, because I was in college when

40
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: that happened, I was just telling myself like, br this

41
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: is crazy, but I just gotta lock in and do it.

42
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: I ain't about to just like go up there and

43
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: look crazy. That's that's usually by telling myself, I don't

44
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: want to go anywhere and look crazy. So I just

45
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: got to go to the hardest I could go. And the

46
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 4: titles pray for me, Yeah, what happened? Which sins did

47
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: you commit?

48
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 6: Nah?

49
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: No, sense I ain't. Did We all committed from me

50
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: one hundred percent? But it got nothing to do.

51
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 4: And in regards to that, honestly, the title comes from uh,

52
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: back when I was in college with my grandma. She

53
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: used to send me scriptures like every day, and she

54
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: used to pray for me. She ended up passing back

55
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: in like twenty twenty two, and yeah, absolutely appreciate that,

56
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: and uh, you know that definitely rocked me. But I

57
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: feel like when I went and did that cost in

58
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: not mafia Tha, that was the first time in a

59
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: very long time I started to see, like so many

60
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 4: people all over the world I ain't we spoke to

61
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: just hit me like, brou I'm praying for your success,

62
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: like I hope you win, I hope you get this.

63
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: And that just felt like a very humbling moment. Kind

64
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: of reminded me a lot of like, you know, my grandma.

65
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: So that's where I kind of like dedicated that probably name.

66
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 5: To that first song is talking directly about her prayers.

67
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 4: So the song Sary's Prayer, that's actually my man's from Chicago.

68
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: He actually prayed for me at the crib when I

69
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: lived in La. Well I still live in a La

70
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: but I was living at this one spot and he

71
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: prayed pray for me before.

72
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: I left the crib.

73
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, and then you mentioned the kay Sat moment

74
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 6: in that song as well, where you were like, were.

75
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 5: A little nervous. It was a lot of pressure, like

76
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 5: you didn't even want to go do it at one point.

77
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

78
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: I was definitely nervous because I was in a space

79
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: where I just I didn't know what was next to me.

80
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: I feel like I was just sitting in a waiting space,

81
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: not really knowing what was going to be next. And

82
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: when my man's gave call me, I was just like, hey, bro,

83
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonnahow itp for you. To the best of my ability.

84
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: That's my man. So I said, look, I'm gonna go

85
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: in here get kill this for you. Yeah, it's Luthor

86
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: gave forre. What was going on though, Like, what was

87
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: going through your mind?

88
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Whenever I hear your music, I do hear this passion,

89
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: I do hear you expressing your feelings. What was going

90
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: on in that particular day though, like leading up to

91
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: Mike Mafia, because that was pure emotion, you know.

92
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 4: I feel like I just I've been making music for

93
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: a long time and I kind of was in this

94
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: in between space and not knowing whether I was gonna

95
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 4: continue or not. End up picking a little part time job,

96
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: and shit, I'm just getting like into the groove of that,

97
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: still working on music and stuff like that.

98
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: But I just more so was thinking to myself, like.

99
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: If this was the plan all along, God telling me

100
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: I gotta just do this, I'm gonna do that.

101
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna, like not trust the timing.

102
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: So I kind of went into that whole mafia down

103
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: with the idea that if this is my last attempt

104
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: to show the world like I'm here, I'm gonna just

105
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: do that.

106
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: So it really didn't mean a lot to me to

107
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: go up there and get crazy like that.

108
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: They're expressing your feelings through music coming to you naturally

109
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: or was that like a learned behavior naturally naturally.

110
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: I was never good at therapy.

111
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: I just felt like it was way easy to write

112
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: and make music about stuff like that, and I never

113
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: really did it for anybody else but myself. But as

114
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: I see more people resonate with it, I realize how

115
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: important my story is to just people I don't even know.

116
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 6: Now.

117
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm a big proponent of therapy, so I wanted, like,

118
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: why didn't therapy resonate with you?

119
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm too self aware sometimes gotta be

120
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: in there talking and I'm like, yeah, this is something

121
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: I already realize my myself.

122
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: I need to go work on it.

123
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: But I feel like if I'm gonna be real with you,

124
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: if I'm diving a little bit deeper, I think there

125
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: is sometimes a barrier for me to actually speak about

126
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: my issues. It's way easy to write about them and

127
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: make them making this song versus actually just sitting there

128
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: with a person one on one talking about.

129
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: Everything, piece pot piece.

130
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the beauty of therapy, right because you

131
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: I always say, like, for whatever questions you have, the

132
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: answers are there.

133
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, is the sometimes we don't want to hear the

134
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: actual answer.

135
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes you sit in there settled and

136
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: you just talking and you like.

137
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Damn what I know what? You know what I mean,

138
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: but you don't for whatever either, it don't. It just

139
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: works in that setting. I don't know why.

140
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna say it just works in that setting,

141
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: but it comes out in that setting.

142
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's definitely.

143
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: And I actually have considered like probably trying to start

144
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: up again like next year, Like I really want to

145
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: try to challenge myself. That's what's something I'm too big

146
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: on just trying to challenge myself to be better every day.

147
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 6: What would you do differently than when you go back

148
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 6: to therapy where you're like, because you're always gonna feel

149
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 6: like you're self aware?

150
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: For sure. I think I just got better at listening,

151
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

152
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: I think sometimes I like to talking, needed to hear

153
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: feel like I'm good with X, Y and Z, But

154
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 4: I feel like for a very long time I struggled

155
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: with like listening. So I feel like when I go

156
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: back this time around, obvious, I'm gonna talk about what

157
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 4: I got going on, but I'm more so receptive to

158
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 4: what whoever is talking to me got to say.

159
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 6: Is that a career thing? Like in your career as

160
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 6: you're growing, have you had to learn? Okay, if I

161
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 6: listened whatever, Like how did you arrive at that? I'm

162
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 6: a just listen point.

163
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: It really started with my dad for real, in the

164
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: process of like me getting a part time job leading

165
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: up to the Mafia Tha thing. I'm talking to him

166
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: every day and we just really speaking on the whole

167
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: career up to this point, and he was just kind

168
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: oftilling in me like, obviously you don't know what the

169
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 4: future is, but you got to be patient, and I

170
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 4: feel like what patients comes listening because a lot of

171
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: times when you in the waiting period, you really got

172
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: to just listen to everything, Listen to the world, listen

173
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: to what God talking about, listening to everything around you,

174
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: Like you got to just be receptive to all of that.

175
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: So I feel like by developing a you know, a better,

176
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 4: better means of being patient, I was able to listen

177
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: better for real, and I definitely think it helping my career.

178
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 6: How do you cause I keep mentioning, keep hearing you

179
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 6: mentioned the part time job, right, but then you're headed

180
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 6: to mafia thigh like the craziness of that.

181
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: I respect it.

182
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: I do too.

183
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 5: I mean I've been there.

184
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I gotta change your

185
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: dreams and deal with your reality. Yeah.

186
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 6: My question was going to be, how do you keep

187
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 6: your faith or talk about what you went through with

188
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 6: your faith while dealing with your real life but still

189
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 6: chasing your dream because that is everybody can't get through that.

190
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 5: That's like the major key if you can figure that out.

191
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna be honest, I really

192
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 4: don't have a real answer. I just feel like there

193
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: was something in me, especially when that call came because

194
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: at the time, right I'm already in the job for

195
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 4: about two months, I'm getting my feet wet. I'm cooling,

196
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: like I'm having a good time at the job, you

197
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. When Gabe called me something, me

198
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: was just like, bro, just just do this. Do this

199
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: all the way I'm talking about I'm going to the job.

200
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: I'm rehearsing writing on my free time. I had a

201
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: two hour drive like down and back, so like I'm

202
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: thinking of stuff if as I'm driving back, I'm rehearsing,

203
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: reciting every single day. I just told myself, like, if

204
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 4: this is my last chance, I'm gonna do this. I

205
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 4: just got to do it the best to my ability.

206
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: I didn't expect none of this stuff to happen after,

207
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: but I was just like, hey, I know, I'm really

208
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: good when it comes to just performing in these freestyles.

209
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: The best I could do is just go out there

210
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: and put on the best show, because I can't be

211
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: mad at that if I do my best and nothing

212
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: comes from it, I can't be mad because at least

213
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: I killed it.

214
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: So school me.

215
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: When you signed the Depth Jam before Madia line, Uh yeah, Okay, okay, okay,

216
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: because I just saw you was signing dev Jam. I

217
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: don't even know you was Dev Jam's golden child. I

218
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: thought it might Okay, Yeah, why why you feel like that?

219
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: Well with Jam?

220
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, def Jam has been a cultural hub,

221
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: but just hip hop in general, Like I grew up

222
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: on that, and I feel like what I bring to

223
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: the table when it comes to Death Jam.

224
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: Is that new life.

225
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: Like it just feel like reinvigoration just for hip hop.

226
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 4: You know, turning my dog, he's basically like family, and

227
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: for him to even just want to do this with

228
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: me means the world, you know what I'm saying.

229
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: Like again, I grew up on this. My uncle literally

230
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: put me on him your every.

231
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: Dev Jam artist, So to be a part of a

232
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: label like that now it just feels like a full

233
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: circle moment, all.

234
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: Of us and you from Jersey, Yeah, East the Orange,

235
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: to be exact.

236
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why Jersey don't come up in more

237
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: hip hop conversations, but honestly, how did East Darns, New

238
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Jersey shape the way you rap and think and.

239
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Just move through the world? Alight?

240
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: So again, like my uncle, he put me onto a

241
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: lot of rap, but my dad and my mom. They

242
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: was big on like R and B, so a lot

243
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: of Mary J. Blige was getting played in the crib.

244
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: That was like every damn day love Mary, let me

245
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: see earth Wind the Fire. Huge heavy h influence in

246
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: terms of just like the musicality and stuff like that.

247
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: But I feel like Jersey has always been a melting pot.

248
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 4: There's never been like a specific sound that comes out

249
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: of the place. It's just like a melting pot of

250
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: so many different things. And the beauty of that is

251
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: that it allows I feel like, for me, there's a

252
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: lot of versutility that lives in my music. But it

253
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: also allows us, over the next decade, or at least

254
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: the second half of this decade, to start finding that

255
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: identity because I feel like there are so many amazing

256
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: people that's coming up right now, Like you got the

257

Speaker 2: That Waersey Yeah, West Orange, Yeah.

260
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's amazing. Crazy.

261
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: It's crazy because you never think the screams from the internet,

262
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: you know, you.

263
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying, sciss you feel me a lot

264
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: of themes out there, Kyrie Irving, Like there's a lot

265
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 4: of people from Jersey, and I just hope that within

266
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: this second half of the decade we can start seeing

267
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: like a lot more these people get together in unite

268
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: because for a very long time we've really never had

269
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: a strong identity in terms of that space.

270
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: The last rapper that came from Jersey that I can

271
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: remember is yeah.

272
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: And I'm sure there's been other people, but I feel

273
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 4: like we go under the radar so damn much. Even

274
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: getting on Mafia thought and like screaming from the rooftop

275
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: like Jersey Like that should mean a lot to me

276
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,760

00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: Honestly, I would.

289
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: Feel like it really happened a little bit more towards

290
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 4: the high school because when I was growing up, I

291
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: was kind of just like a sports guy. I didn't

292
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: really get into music crazy until like middle school, high school,

293
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 4: and that's when I started getting onto everything. I wouldn't

294
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: say anything specifically, but as I get older now I'm

295
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: always trying to draw from anything.

296
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm listening to Jersey just to pay homage for when you.

297
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 6: Did the stream, there was a lot of people that

298
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 6: like came out and like co signed you right after that.

299
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 6: It was like crazy viral. Yeah, what was most surprising

300
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 6: for you? I saw NAS?

301
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, NAS was nuts. Shoutout dread the Rose for that.

302
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson was crazy. I woke up to

303
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: six in the morning and seeing Russell Wilson talking about

304
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: some a brit It's hard.

305
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: You're a sports guy. I can tell you brush past

306
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: knobs bro.

307
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson like, like I was crazy.

308
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 4: Like a lot of people see the NAS thinking like

309
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna try to play like NAS is like legend,

310
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: that's one of my heroes. But like rus Wilson, that's

311
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: kind of nuts too, you know what I'm saying. Obviously

312
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: there are two different realms in terms of like what

313
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: you was really basing on. But like the NAS and

314
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson Wills was definitely the craziest ever can you.

315
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: Talk about like just from so you do.

Speaker 4: so I'm just take a step back.

347
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: What kind of job.

348
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: It was a music installation company. Yeah, like we used

349
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 4: to go in and stall like radio systems. Now we

350
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: used to install sound systems like churches and stuff like that. Yeah,

351
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: So I was out of la doing that.

352
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: Dope.

353
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fine.

354
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: Is that a trade you gotta learn or nah?

355
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: I feel like just over the time of everything I've

356
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 4: been doing in this, I just was learning everything.

357
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Like everywhere I go, I try to learn as much

358
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: as I can.

359
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 4: We tore with Russ like back in twenty twenty four,

360
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: so like I was with his team a lot. I'm

361
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: just learning everything as I'm going. So from now I'm

362
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: picking up tips and I actually use that in my interview.

363
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: Not even a lot of what got me the job

364
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 4: for being an artist and having had a lot of

365
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: this experience on the road and stuff like that.

366
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: What personal battles do you think your listeners here the

367
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: most clearly in your music?

368
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: Uh? I feel like for me, it's just confidence, you

369
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I feel like it's like all

370
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: of us, you know what I'm saying. We wake up

371
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: every day trying to just be the best version of ourselves,

372
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: and it's very hard to do that sometimes when there's

373
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 4: so much noise, Like I could imagine what y'all go through,

374
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: assholests being on this everything's literally under a space like assholes.

375
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 6: No no, no, no, no, no no no.

376
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Whut you ass hosts?

377
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: Of course yep, but you know, ass hosts.

378
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: Like y'all are under a spotlight. I can only imagine

379
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 4: scrutiny that y'all go through, And I feel like y'all

380
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: got it harder than the regular average person, but the

381
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: average person still goes through that too. So I feel

382
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: like every day is a challenge of like putting your

383
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: pants on and telling yourself that nigga, like I gotta

384
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: get up and do this for me, it's not about

385
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: proving it to the world, but more so affirming in

386
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: yourself that you are the person you think.

387
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: You of, especially nowadays when you we live in an

388
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: era where every single day of your life you can

389
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: go on your phone and it's somebody trying to tell

390
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: you that you ain't shit. Hell yeah, I don't even

391
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: know you, bro, there's no there's no picture on your thing.

392
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: I can't even say your name on this Twitter or

393
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: this Instagram app. And you're telling me we've never met before,

394
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: that that what I'm doing and ship and it's like, Bro,

395
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: I didn't ask for that, and a lot of it too.

396
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 6: I always think about this is like if people were

397
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 6: if people had the opportunity to do what you were doing,

398
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 6: they probably couldn't. They couldn't push it to the finish

399
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 6: line the way that you do every day.

400
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: Bro.

401
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: There's like probably one percent of people if they put

402
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: your right now, they would literally forward at the starting line.

403
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, every single time. Like it's cool.

404
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 5: That's what I like most about your project.

405
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: Though.

406
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 6: It felt like I was on a journey with you.

407
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 6: That would feels very familiar to you know, just where

408
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 6: I am in life right now. Of like you're talking

409
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 6: yourself through like a very vulnerable moment of like I

410
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 6: feel pressure, of like you're building. It's built, it's there,

411
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: people see it. But the pressures in the you get

412
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: to these levels where you're dealing with things that you

413
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 6: didn't even know you're gonna deal with, and then it's

414
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 6: like your new kid at school all over again. You

415
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 6: gotta talk yourself through it all over again, and it's

416
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 6: it felt very familiar.

417
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: You sum that up amazingly literally first day at school.

418
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's like you do the first day at

419
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 6: school so many times and you're like.

420
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: No, I just was here, Like but that's the beauty

421
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: of life.

422
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: I feel like if we are going through a year

423
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: and we don't feel like the first day is something wrong,

424
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: you should be feeling like we have to restart and

425
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: move our way up that you know, that's tower genuinely.

426
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: You know.

427
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 6: Other artist reminds me that j Cole. I get not

428
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 6: first day of school all the time from him, but

429
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 6: like he does a lot of like reflective like wrap

430
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 6: up it, like every.

431
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: Time col pop out, always feel like a new version

432
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: of cold, which I do I really appreciate a lot

433
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: from because I feel like we don't see that much

434
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: in especially like Black artists, Like it's already. I have

435
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: this theory in my mind that we really don't see

436
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: what happens to black people like after thirties. I feel

437
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: like what's perpetuated as the twenties, but like what happens

438
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: as you get older? What does it look like? What

439
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 4: does it look like raising a family? And I feel

440
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: like when I listen to call a lot of times

441
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: it's cool to see what that inside looks like, especially as.

442
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: I get older as a black man, trying to figure

443
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: it out too fee me.

444
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: What you're speaking to is you know, and you're absolutely right.

445
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: For a long time, hip hop had a glass ceiling,

446
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: mean that you look up and you think you can

447
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: go higher, but you eventually hit your head. And it's

448
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: because a lot of people, artists, media personality, they were

449
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: afraid to grow and evolve because they experienced a lot

450
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: of success.

451
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: Being one way.

452
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: And then you know, the cultural cachet was in the

453
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: street for a long time. People were really afraid to

454
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: be themselves. So now you've got a whole generation that's

455
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: got a lot more emotional intelligence. They're doing the work

456
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: on themselves, so they going to therapy and stuff like that.

457
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: They're loving on they wives and their girlfriends are being

458
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: committed to one shoming and you know, having these beautiful families,

459
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, you're right. Like to me, I think

460
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: that in the future, mister Morale and the Big Stuff

461
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: and jay Z four four four are gonna go down.

462
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: It's two of the most important hip hop albums ever.

463
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, nah, I no, Like I feel like you really

464
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 3: summed it up to there.

465
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: It's like you see these Disney movies, it's always like

466
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: Happily ever after, but like the what come after? You right,

467
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: that missed them around at four four four? It really

468
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: is the part that come after that happen. We have

469
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: a part that's the after genuinely.

470
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 6: You also talk about on the project Screaming at the Sky.

471
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 6: You mentioned you hate church, but you tune in on

472
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 6: Sundays because you want to feel close to your grandmother.

473
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

474
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely, what Why would church? What talk us through your.

475
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: I feel like the journey for a very long time

476
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: and we see it now the way, like religion in

477
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: itself is sometimes manipulated for the wrong reasons. I feel

478
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: like everybody should have their own relationship, whatever that is.

479
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Whatever it is you believe

480
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 4: in your relationship is unique to you, and whatever that

481
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 4: is is what it is.

482
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: What I believe in what you believing, what she believing.

483
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: It should never clash. It's e mortal.

484
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: Be a conversation to just understand how we maneuver those relationships.

485
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: But it's to each his own.

486
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: And I feel like when I was growing up, especially

487
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: as a you know, black kid, you going to some

488
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: of these churches.

489
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: I went to some church white churches with my mama.

490
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, it's cool, but I don't know.

491
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: This really hit for me, and for a very long time,

492
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 4: I kind of didn't really want to be a part

493
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 4: of it. But again, with everything that's been happening in

494
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: my life, I've just been tapping in form of my own.

495
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Relationship and that's real though.

496
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: I really did a tune in to like just fear

497
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 4: that connection because the only person who was doing that

498
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: at the time my life was my grandma. Funny enough,

499
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: my job worked in churches at the same time too,

500
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 4: So for like Smooth two and a half months, I'm

501
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: just locked there, like going through it, and they were

502
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: the company it was ran. It was Korean based, so

503
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 4: I'm getting to see all this stuff from way different angles.

504
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 4: Like I'm just opening to the world, just trying to

505
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: see everything. But everybody's relationship is there, is your grandmother

506
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: visit you? I do believe that. I feel like I'm

507
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: not even joking too, Like even in that open line,

508
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 4: I was like, I stopped smoking because I feel like,

509
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: for a very long time.

510
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: I used to have dreams.

511
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: And I really appreciate you asking that first for some

512
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 4: most because nobody ever asked me that before.

513
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: But I used to have dreams for a while.

514
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: I didn't have them dreams with my grandma on them,

515
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't say I had one recently. But I

516
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 4: feel like that cost not Mafia moment just felt too divine,

517
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 4: but it didn't feel real, like my mama is my

518
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: mam Mama. So my mama called me and was like, YO,

519
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: don't take this the wrong way. But I definitely feel

520
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: like my mama heard that and that was all I needed.

521
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: I feel like everything that's been happening, like even its

522
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 4: mama we in right now, this don't even feel real,

523
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: like happy to be here, obviously grateful that y'all haven't be.

524
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 4: But again, I'm not like I'm too self aware, like

525
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 4: this is this shit is like the bond time now.

526
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I asked because that my mother's mother, my big mama.

527
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: She visited me twice.

528
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 2: Wow in a dream.

529
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: That's why I always ask that, Yeah, because it's one

530
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: of those things. It's like, damn, I wish that would

531
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: happen again.

532
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: I feel like the last time I really really remember it,

533
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 4: so my grandmama passed in twenty twenty two. It was

534
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 4: when I was living in Nashville twenty twenty three. I

535
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: just one night had a random dream and that was

536
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: it and it never happened again. But the closer I

537
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 4: got to that was like, mafia, do janmuinely?

538
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: Or yeah?

539
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: You know your your songs are like journal in trees?

540
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: What's the line between vulnerability and over sharing for you?

541
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: And how do you know what to keep to yourself?

542
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: Uh?

543
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: I'm big, I'm protecting my peace. I feel like I

544
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 4: do a good job expressing myself. But like niggas don't

545
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 4: know my mama name, you feel me like that's important

546
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 4: to me, Like I want to keep certain things to me.

547
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 4: I feel like as I'm barking on this journey, I

548
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 4: realize that it's not just me stepping in as a rapper,

549
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 4: but like this the entertainment business and everything is entertainment.

550
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 4: There are some things and some people that I would

551
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 4: rather keep out of the light. I'm cool with living

552
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: in that, but these people ain't ask for that either,

553
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: and I got to be responsible and kindnizant of that

554
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: as an artist, you know what I'm saying. Like, even

555
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: as me and my mama figuring out this voicemail that

556
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 4: we're putting on there, I'm letting her know, like, Hey,

557
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 4: I want you to hear this whole project before we

558
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: put this out here, because this is not only my story,

559
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: you part of this too, So like, if you're not

560
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: cool with this, we're not doing it. But it's like,

561
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: you know, it involves everybody again, everybody know I got

562
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: on my every ride.

563
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: No, I got dad.

564
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 4: I don't know their names, but like that's the line

565
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: I draw. I got a brother, don't be know my

566
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: brother name. Like you know what I'm saying. I'm big

567
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: on that. I talk about the homies lot because we

568
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: all together, But like I try to keep that wall

569
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 4: to the best of its ability because I don't want

570
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: to ask to nobody life who can't ask for it.

571
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 5: How is mom right now?

572
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 6: And all of this like kind of dealing with like

573
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 6: your life changing and watching it change.

574
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 4: And she called me every day. She called me every day.

575
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest thing for me. There was

576
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: a period of how I me and her wasn't talking

577
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: every day. And I don't know, like like bad blood

578
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 4: or anything like that, but I just wasn't in the

579
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: right space of mind. I'm moving around and all the shit,

580
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 4: and I wasn't really thinking about that. But I feel

581
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 4: like as this year is progressed, her, me, her and

582
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: my dad just get super close. Like I'm calling him

583
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: every single day to talk to them. It's fired because

584
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 4: I haven't been back in like eighteen months, so I've

585
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: been at the crib for like the last week, so

586
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: that's been five and hanging out with them. But I

587
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: talk to them like every day like that. Those are

588
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 4: my dogs, Like I always trying to make sure they're good.

589
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 4: They always looking out for me, even if it's just

590
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: calling for five minutes of the day. They appreciate that,

591
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 4: and I just try to make that a mission for

592
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: anything that I'm doing moving forward.

593
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: Even with my grandma, I don't think I did enough

594
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 2: of that.

595
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: So there's a super emphasis on that now to just

596
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 4: be present in everybody's life as much as I can be.

597
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: Because you never know, Yeah, you never know, take that.

598
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: Shit for granted, Like my grandma. So I started my

599
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 4: list because my grandma, she had a friend who did

600
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: my hair in COVID because we know it was in

601
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 4: the crib and stuff like that. And he kept telling

602
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: me too during the year that she was that she passed, like, yo,

603
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: go visical, visical visit. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm gonna

604
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: go eventually, just never did. And eventually that you know

605
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 4: that next time turns into it never again and you

606
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 4: gotta live with that.

607
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: So I just try to be as president as I

608
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: can be with my parents more than ever. You know,

609
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: a lot of artists struggle with comparing their journey to others, right,

610
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: like how do you keep your confidence in creativity and

611
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: tact and a culture that's constantly measuring you against everybody else.

612
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: I just focus on Chris Patrick. I can't be I

613
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 4: can't be anything else but Chris Patrick. Chris Patrick can't

614
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 4: be called Chris Patrick, can't be anybody else that any

615
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: like Kendrick can't be anything else but me. And I

616
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 4: feel like, at the end of the day, as long

617
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 4: as I'm working to be the best version of myself,

618
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 4: I'm always going to be the best when I show up. Granted,

619
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: there's always going to be a competitive nature to the sport,

620
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: which I'm very much aware of, and I'm willing to

621
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: compete in that. But at the same time, I'm not

622
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 4: killing myself in my head over this. As long as

623
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 4: I show up and I'm elevating myself, I'm gonna look

624
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: up and eventually it's gonna be nobody around, just me.

625
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 6: I text Gabe from on the Radar and told them

626
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 6: that we were going to be interviewing you, and I was.

628
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 6: him on the radar, what made you like so many artists?

629
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 6: And he says there was just a hunger in him

630
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 6: that I don't see him any artists, a desire to

631
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 6: make it and get it done by any means necessary.

632
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 6: He's really the one you're getting some big knots. I'm

Speaker 4: do this the second time.

640
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 6: I don't think he understands what his platform is doing

641
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 6: for people. Tell him that time, like, Yo, this platform

00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 4: feel like. I really got to work at rapping. It

683
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: come naturally to me. But everything else is what I

684
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: gotta work. And I'm cool with that, you know what

685
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

686
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: I would rather have it that way than just not

687
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: knowing what I want to do. But it's it's an

688
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: uphill battle, but I'm willing to work at it. That's

689
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: so interesting, man, because you know me and my wife

690
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,119

691
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: manual for parenting, right, Yeah, but you just made me

692
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: think about something like as a rapper, there's like you

693
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: can do a mafia thin freestyle and somebody be like, yo,

00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: a father, or a son or a husband, Like, ain't.

697
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,960

00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: every now and then you a good husband, But.

699
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't even know if you're doing a good job.

700
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're working through, what you're working through,

701
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: or what you're working on is actually bringing you to

702
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: where you go.

703
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: You kind of just got to go with the flow.

704
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 4: And that's just something I'm open to learning, just how

705
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 4: to be a better person altogether.

706
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 6: Like as your star girls, is that pressure of trying

707
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 6: to figure out all that other stuff, being a better son, brother,

708
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 6: all those things? Does that grow as well?

709
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 3: Yeah?

710
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 4: I think so, you know what I'm saying, I feel

711
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: like I spent the first part of like starting his career,

712
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: putting so much pressure on the work that I was doing,

713
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: to the point where like I become some meticulous in

714
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: detail the second nature. But I feel like now having

715
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: to deal with this other side is so much more

716
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: rewarding because I can see it in real time, me

717
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 4: writing versus every single day for two years in a row.

718
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 4: You don't know what that turns into until you have

719
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 4: your moment. But picking up the phone from my mama

720
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 4: every day for the next two years, that's beautiful. I'm

721
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: not gonna get that back. That's time.

722
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna be able to that. There's no amount

723
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 2: of money in the world.

724
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 4: That can make that time up if I don't take

725
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: this moment to call my parents, Like I don't get

726
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: that back.

727
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: What do you feel is missing for rap right now

728
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: that you're intentionally trying to put back.

729
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: Niggas need to care. There's too many people who are good,

730
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: but they don't care enough. And I feel like that's

731
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 4: my problem, Like I can't. I know I'm personally talented.

732
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even say that like I'm more talented than

733
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 4: the next man. I just think I care more, and

734
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: that's what I want to show people like, Yo, this

735
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: shit can be done, like we working this pay for

Speaker 2: I want people to put.

747
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 4: The intensity in there. I remember, Uh, somebody has seen

748
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: one of my videos. They was like, Yo, you look

749
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: really angry and that. I'm like, Bro, I just wanted

00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 4: very laid back. But when it comes to that, when

757
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 4: it comes to that ship, oh yeah, I'm a hooper.

Speaker 4: But yeah, I just want people to care.

759
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: Again.

760
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: Like, I think we need to see more artists caring,

761
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: showing their journey, showing themselves going hard, because that's what

762

783
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 4: down and like he'll see that, but maybe not everybody else.

784
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 4: And that's cool, Like that's my man's for life. We

785
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: just talk about things, we move from it, and we

786
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 4: go through it.

787
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: But I try not to show too much of that

788
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: because I've started to realize that I also have a responsibility.

789
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 4: There are people in the world who be like bra

790
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 4: If I could show y'all some of the messages I've

794
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 4: got a responsibility. Granted, there's no pressure on me to

795
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: feel like I got to be somebody savior, but I

796
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: don't have any problem being the beacon. If somebody need

797
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 4: that to get through their days, I'm cool with that.

798
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: And and don't let people think that you perfect at

799
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: all at all. You might see, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3: But I feel like that's the beauty of life.

803
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 4: Though for a very long time we've been watching everything

804
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: through like a perfect picture but like you got to

805
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,920

Speaker 1: like y'all, you know, showing up at y'all best sales.

811
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 4: But people have to realize it's so much more than that.

812
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: It's so much more than that. And I don't have

813
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,679

851
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: I'm glad I found, you know, found a way into

852
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: your home to bump that for real? What's a what's a.

853
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: Piece of advice you'd give this someone fighting through the

854
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: same doubts that you once had.

855
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: Show up every day. There's nothing you could do, Like,

856
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: there's nothing more you can do but just show up.

857
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: There's gonna be days where it's not like I'm not

858
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: gonna lie. Don't even think there's perfect situation. The perfect

859
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 4: situation is always now you can make the situation perfect.

860
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: There are gonna be times where you show up to

861
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 4: something and it's not going the way it's supposed to go.

862
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: But if you control what you have to do and

863
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: you prepare the way you have to prepare, it could

864
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: become the greatest situation of your life.

865
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 4: Like, nobody knows what I was going into going through

866
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: before the mafit down, but I showed up and did

867
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 4: my best and it became a perfect situation, you know

868
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And I feel like that's something that

869
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: everybody has to do consistently. Just wake up every day

870
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: and do your thing. As long as you do that,

871
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: you're good. And I feel like if you operate under

872
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: the guys that there is no reward, you're doing it

873
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: for you. You're gonna be rewarded every single day for

874
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: that something is crazy's gonna come your way and it's

875
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: gonna be like damn, I don't even expect it, but

876
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 4: it's because you work for it unknowingly.

877
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh I know why I bought that up. I bought

878
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: that up because it felt like it feels like it's

879
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: a new class. Yeah you know what I mean.

880
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: Like, you know, we always have that in hip hop,

881
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: and that's why you know, people still sleep on double exelf.

882
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: But I like when they do that freshman class thing.

883
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: But it feels like y'all are a part of a class.

884
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: Do you do you feel that, Like, let's be real,

885
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: when of the last time you've seen it, like, at

886
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: least within this space of hip hop, when's the last

887
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: time you really seen a class of people like this

888
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: many people going up that you identify it together.

889
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: It's been a while.

890
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifteen plus years ago when it was the Kendricks

891
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: and Nicoles and the Drakes and the Walets and yeah.

892
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: You know, now even know if that's the same area.

893
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 2: I feel like Lee and Cudding, it might have been

894
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: like a class.

895
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: Before we could group them all up in there, they

896
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: all together in my mind because I feel like everybody

897
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 4: had impact impact at that time, you know what I'm saying.

898
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: But it's like, you're right, we haven't seen that.

899
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: Like I feel like individuals you might have seen pop

900
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 4: in and out, but we've never seen this many people

901
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: at least be all cohesive and on the same page

902
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: to do this you don't actually care about actually want

903
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: a rap for real, you know what I'm saying, Like

904
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie.

905
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: I was crapping my projects with like the Rubins, the

906
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: Marcos Bean, Riley Swabs, like Jordan bean Is like every day,

907
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: like we was broke together. We was writing these projects together.

908
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: We were literally like putting all this shit together, bouncing

909
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: off ideas, we playing each other projects. We're like, oh

910
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: yeah we fuck with this.

911
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: We don't fuck with this, Hey, bro work on this,

912
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: Like we always cracking the shit together. And then you

913
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 4: start to see that expand as we start to meet

914
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: more people and shit like that, like we really all

915
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 4: coming up together and this shit the same way they was.

916
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 4: So I'm just glad that everybody else could see it,

917
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: because for a very long time we just felt like

918
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: it was us in this low bubble and nobody realized.

919
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 4: And then you start seeing one person get it, then

920
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 4: another person get it, and the third person getting everybody

921
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: talking about everybody. So it's good that y'all can identify

922
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 4: that the same way we've always been talking about for the.

923
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Last year and a half.

924
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 6: I feel like y'all have the So it's the Internet,

925
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 6: but y'all know what to do with it. Like when

926
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 6: you mentioned Ruben, I think about like all of his

927
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 6: visuals and like, you know what I mean, Like when

928
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 6: I met him, I didn't know who he was, but

929
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 6: then when I followed him, I'm like, oh, like and

930
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 6: then I'm hearing your music and Marko plus and like

931
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 6: all these people. Y'all know how there's like a middle

932
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 6: point that y'all have figured out where it's Internet, but

933
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 6: it's substance and it's work in business built around at

934
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 6: the same time, people can't like juggle that all yeah,

935
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 6: And that's like itself is like a oh, like it

936
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 6: makes you want to like tap in, like all right,

937
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 6: what's next.

938
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: One thing we always study is like, you know, obviously

939
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: like the Cold Drake Kendrick.

940
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: It's like one thing that they always did was beingm

941
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: pactful and regardless of what the Internet is talking about

942
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 4: as long as you hit that wave and you impactful,

943
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 4: they're it's cool, but you also got to go touch

944
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 4: the That's more than anything you got touch with people

945
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 4: Like this internet shit, it's only as real as we

946
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: let it be. But what's realist Showing up to a

947
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 4: spot and it's twenty five hundred people there. You ain't

948
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 4: never met them with Daniel life, but three hundred that

949
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: want to talk to you after the show, they want

950
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 4: to buy your shit. That's real impact. So as long

951
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: as we can get out there, I mean obviously digitally

952
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: be killing it, but like, if you can go out

953
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: there and touch people in person, you good.

954
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: And you look at your future you know, musically, personally,

955
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: and most importantly spiritually. Yeah, what would success look like

956
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: to you? If you took the charts out, the awards,

957
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: screaming numbers, if you took all that out of the equation,

958
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: what would success look like?

959
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: Shit?

960
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: Mo, Mo, move my parents out of Jersey. They're like Texas,

961
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 4: they want to move down south for like Georgia. They

962
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: we want to move down south for a very long time.

963
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: And that's really where like my mind is. I swear

964
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 4: to God, I might even try to lie, but like

965
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 4: when I have my part time drive. I kind of

966
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 4: accept that, like if this is where my journey is

967
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: and it's cool, like it's just what it is, that's

968
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: the way it goes. So I feel like what's happening

969
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 4: right now is the bonus round for me, fucking the

970
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 4: charts and all that other shit, Like if I could

971
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 4: make sure my parents is good, like that mean the world,

972
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: because when I it on myself, they never did, so

973
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: like I'm here for that.

974
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 6: I had that same moment right before I got a

975
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 6: job that like changed my I was like, yo, if

976
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 6: it's over right here, I'm cool, Like I didn't and

977
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 6: then everything just like switch. It was like it's so weird, so.

978
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 4: Weird had it happens. And I feel like there's a

979
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 4: lot of detachment there. Unless you unless you seek the outcome,

980
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: the more likely it is for you to come. I

981
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 4: feel like people who granted I do believe that you

982
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: have to lock in for the work you're doing, but

983
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 4: it's not for the sake of the outcome. It's for

984
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 4: the sake of the work. But when you're so focused

985
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: on the result, a lot of times you miss the mark.

986
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 4: Like you can't be too hyper focused on that. You

987
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 4: gotta do all the intangibles that people can't see, Like,

988
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: they don't know if you're waking up at five in

989
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 4: the morning to get right. They don't know if you're

990
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 4: writing every day, they don't know if you're trying to

991
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 4: work on X, Y and Z. That's the type of

992
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: stuff that's gonna bring you to where you gotta get to.

993
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 4: But you know, I feel you congratulations too. Also, I

994
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: think that's an amazing thing that you just shared with

995
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: me because people don't be talking about it like that.

996
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: You do the same shit.

997
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: You said something else that's very important too. You said,

998
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, your last job, if that was it for you,

999
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: you were happy with that, And I truly believe that.

1000
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, God isn't gonna bless you with more unless

1001
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: you appreciate what you have. Yeah, and you know the

1002
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: fact that you had something that you appreciate and you like,

1003
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: all right, God, this is cool.

1004
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 2: I'm cool with this. That's why you receiving more blessings now.

1005
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: No, lie.

1006
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 4: And that's why I'm trying to go hard too, because

1007
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: it's like I feel like in the past, I'm out

1008
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 4: of funding my opportunity, whether it being like I'm blinded

1009
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 4: focused on the rose out.

1010
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, doing shit I shouldn't be doing.

1011
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 4: If this is my opportunity to really get it crazy,

1012
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: I'm not about to waste this somebody to go dumb hard,

1013
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: because really I want to miss it.
