Um? 36 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: Because it's me. It's me, but not um, I don't know, 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: just one of them feel good records. It feel natural, 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Something you in the club, 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: you ain't gotta I think too much. You was just 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: like everything I'm saying is just like I havn't there. 41 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they It's like it's like almost like a 42 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: conversation song. It's like I'm I'm having a conversation, which 43 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: like I'm talking to you. So when people people never 44 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: really hear that too much in music, Like it's not 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean? You know that's what 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like it's like, YOI why they testing me? 47 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: So people when people do you know, like go to 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: go to a club or they on their phones or 49 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: doing a video, they're gonna be like today's friend, Yo, 50 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: such just such why they're testing me? They just want 51 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: to feel like they're part of the I think yeah, 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: I captured that people can they probably can relate to it. 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: So you already saw it like being the type of 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: record that dig in cloud. No not at first I thought, wow, 55 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I started to notice like this is why people catching 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: onto it because it feels like something they can do, 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: like they want to do, you know what I mean? 58 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: So yeah that makes sense. So do you feel like 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: are you happy with because it's like your first time 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: getting like I guess national exposure, major exposure. Are you 61 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: happy this is your first look out? Because some people 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: I've heard, well you know, they they're criticizing it, be like, oh, 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: this is not necessarily a good representation of her rap 64 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: skills versus you know, what we have on the table. Like, 65 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: are you happy with Um, I don't know. I've been 66 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: getting so much good feedback. I never really I never 67 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: really heard that yet. UM, I'm happy with it. You 68 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: know what I mean is I wrote it, you know 69 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: what I mean. I came up with the idea. It's authentic, 70 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's realistic. It's not no 71 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: food gazing, it's not no gimmick. It's me. So I'm 72 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: very proud of it. You know what the record is 73 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: doing right now because that was on me, that wasn't 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: known by that's crazy. How do you think it? Like? 75 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: Was there a DJ? Was that the moment when you 76 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: first felt like okay, this is like this feels different 77 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: because you you put freestyles out, you put things out. 78 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: I have gotten a lot of views on online, Like 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: what did you start feeling like this? This is different? 80 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: This is connecting kind of in a different way. UM. 81 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: I think it's usually when I shoot a video, like 82 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: when I when I put a video out for something, 83 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: that's when people they grabbed to it quicker. You know mean, 84 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: like when I put the record out, put the record 85 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: out first on SoundCloud, and UM, it was just playing 86 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that it wasn't until 87 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: I did the actual visual for the video. Well, I 88 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: guess when people see me like, I don't know, I 89 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: don't know. I can't really say it because I'm me 90 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: all the time. So but other people that's watching, it's 91 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: just something. I guess it's something about my style or 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: how I move or you know, how to just being 93 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: my videos that automatically attract them like yo, like she dope, 94 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

That's when people 138 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: hear at the moment. Because the first thing was that 139 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: when you did that Sharick freestyle and the viral power 140 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: of that, like that something you kind of really go 141 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: at somebody accused of killing killing your brother.

So 146 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: I just felt like this was the best opportunity to 147 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: take far as you know, just expressing my feelings. Um. 148 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: I went to therapy a few times, but I just 149 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: couldn't get in the hang of it.

Even when you was trying to get 201 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: on the come up, you still kind of felt always 202 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: have to fight energy. The always say like it's so 203 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: so hard for a female rapper, like you speak to 204 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: someone with those situations that make it kind of difficult, 205 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: Like why don't we see more female rappers? Like what 206 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: is it really such a male dominated industry and all 207 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: these different barriers that really prevent certain things from happening. 208 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I never look at it like that. 209 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: I just do music. I just come ahead and and 210 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: and do what I gotta do. I don't look at 211 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: it like female male industry. And I think that's really 212 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: the issue because we we we talk about it being 213 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: not enough female so much that it plugs into your 214 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: mind that it's it's a male or it's a male 215 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: dominant dominated game and it's not enough females because we 216 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: talk about it so much, if everybody just did what 217 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: they had to do and just do music and not 218 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: put much labels on everything. It wouldn't it wouldn't be 219 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: that way, you know what I mean. So when I 220 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: do music, I don't put it like, oh I'm I'm 221 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: the female rapper, I'm this gay rapper. Not I just 222 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: do music, just make music and knocking all the But 223 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, Like we've never seen this before, right, 224 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't put me in a in 225 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: a box. I mean it comes up every now and then, 226 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: but it's not it's not like with it's like topic 227 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: of discussion, Like they just look at me like, yo, 228 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: show he's hot and that's it. Grown man that have 229 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: embraced with Jada Kiss, Like how is that relationship? Kind of? 230 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: Um and Jada Kiss actually been. Um showed his appreciation 231 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: for me like months ago, Like nah, I gotta say 232 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: like a year and some change ago before the come 233 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: up was even where is that right now? Um? I 234 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: saw him at UM what's the name of that spot? 235 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: I saw Jada kissed the first time Santos. We used 236 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: at Santos and Um they was doing to show him 237 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: in the locks or whatever, and he already knew who 238 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: I was. He was like, yo, man, I know who 239 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: you are, man, keep doing what you're doing. I see you, 240 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: and he showed his love, he showed recognition from then. 241 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: So now when I when I got you know what 242 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: I mean, involved with Jada, I don't look at it 243 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: as being phony, you know what I mean. I look 244 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: at it like now he's he's he's really, he's really 245 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: that guy, he's really humble because he's been showed that 246 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: recognition before I was even lit.

I just woke up 516 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: to that day and just was like, no, this ain't 517 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: this ain't for me. Don't get me wrong. When I 518 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: first got the news, I was like, oh, this is dope. 519 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: But then I had to be like, okay, hold on, 520 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: bring it down a little bit. I think, now, what 521 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: is this gonna do for you? Is this is this? 522 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: Is this good? Or is this bad? Or is this 523 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: good bad? You know what I mean. So I thought 524 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: about it and I hit my manager up immediately. It 525 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: was like I'm not going to the audition, like I 526 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: don't want to do it, and I wind up having 527 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: a meeting with Lee days he wounded up setting it up. 528 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: He was in Swiss Beat office. My manager set it up. 529 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: He didn't tell me we come working. I'm thinking, yeah, 530 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking I'm meeting Swiss Beats and here comes 531 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, Lee Daniels. And at the time I didn't 532 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: know who Lee Daniel was. So when he came in 533 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: the room, I just was like, oh, I'm guessing this 534 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: is that guy. Yeah, you know what I mean. So 535 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: when he came, he sat down and he handed me 536 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: the script and was like, all right, let's go.

Is that the biggest chunds now? 544 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: Because now you you are successful, you making this noise, 545 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: not all these the labels, Your labels are calling even more, 546 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: all these opportunities, Like is it harder than the side 547 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: of what what is the right thing to do? Like 548 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: it is hard to decide because I've been grinding independently 549 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: for so long, and we've been establishing everything on our 550 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: own for so long that jumping into uh, you know, 551 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: a label or it's kind of scary because it's like, 552 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: all right, now we're giving somebody else to will almost. 553 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: So I'm real picky, like I said, man, I'm skeptical 554 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: on things, like I really think outside the box, I 555 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: really think ahead of time. I'm not a right in 556 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: a moment type person like oh, This's is hot for 557 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: the moment.

This is deeper than 560 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: just this moment right now.

You understand what I'm say. I was always tough. 723 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: But I say that because on one point when I 724 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: was doing music, Um, I was in a position where 725 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: they was just basically like, um, you know, you can't 726 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: you know, basically gotta be feminine, you gotta you gotta 727 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: look at a certain way.

Um. But when I first 936 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: heard my my actual song radio was was last year 937 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: when Flex was playing Heney and Holes and he had 938 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 1: in his rotation shout the flex Man because he definitely 939 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: definitely showed a lot of genuine love from even before 940 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying he was playing the Heney and 941 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: Holes record he had in his night rotation.

So but that moment right there was like, oh, 948 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: like when I got in the car, I actually put 949 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: the radio and heard my song come on.
