32
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: feel with the double X cover, you feel like it

00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: was you should have had it a year ago show.

34
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: I think everybody feel like that, dude, But I don't

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: know how the process is when they're doing what they're doing.

36
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: But I still appreciate. I'm grateful for that though for

37
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: a show. What do you think change? You think that

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: they were just sleeping on you? Or do you think

39
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: that you did more this year? What do you think

40
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: it is? Or the city more popping? Now? I think

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: the city more popping. They the light on Detroit, so

42
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: it's like they just came through and figure it out. Nah.

43
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's interesting. We've been saying for the past

44
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: couple of years at least, I've been saying that the

45
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: best rappers are coming from Memphis in Detroit, and your

46
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: name always comes up. So it's just like, it's not

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: like people didn't know, no, no, no, no no, they knew,

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: they knew. I don't know what it was. I guess

49
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: he was in line first. How many people have been

50
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: trying to sign you? Because even with the new album,

51
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: we see that you have a lot of collaps on

52
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: face also, right, and so I'm sure that there's a

53
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: lot of artists out there that have labels and a

54
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: lot of people are like baby Face array he's the one.

55
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: And so what was that process like for you? Because

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: I can just imagine what your phone is like with

57
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: people are trying to say, we gotta get him. Really,

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: I really don't get to traffic like you go through

59
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: our manager. I'm pretty sure it'd be a lot of

60
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: people to a cross paths with They'd be from different labels,

61
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: they'd be like, we are little to hell, you know

62
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I don't never engage it to conversational.

63
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll just keep keeping pushing. It's not something you want

64
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, eventually when it's that time. I

65
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: ain't that time. How do the artists know when it's

66
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: that time? Now? This I got this thing. I feel like, man,

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: you you don't really need you really don't need to

68
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: go to no major label until you get a hit

69
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: into you, a necessity probably already. I feel like you

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: get in there right now. It ain't They ain't gonna

71
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: really be thinking much. They won't you because you you

72
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: know you're coming up. But if you ain't really laying

73
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: like that, like, how are you supposed to be laying?

74
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Don't go? Yeah, I feel like, oh, that's interesting because

75
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of like not that you could just put

76
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: your toe in the water, because you can put a

77
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: song out, yeah, and if it go then you'll know

78
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: whether you need some more back in behind it or

79
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: that show. They'll take you now, the label will take you,

80
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: I feel like. But me personally, I feel like it

81
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: ain't time yet. Let's I want to talk about, you know, music,

82
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the music scene in Detroit right there's so many different

83

Speaker 1: crews and clicks, and Detroit music is doing so well.

84
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: How does all of the artists get along? Do y'all

85
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: all get along? Let's it's still separate ways? Yeah, everybody cool.

86
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: It ain't no friction in the most of the people

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: that's got the motion right now, like you know, baby money,

88
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I square vessel peasy. Just you know, everybody, we all

00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: He doing this thing, I'm doing my thing. You ain't know.

92
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: It's really all love for real, you know what I'm saying.

103
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,440

00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: like trait not what people make it out to be.

105

Speaker 1: don't know the changes and you feel the changes in

109
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: the city though, because you've seen it has changed a

110
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: lot in the past few years. Yeah, you know, what

111
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: are some of the positive things that you would say

112
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,160

117
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,000

165
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: I was right downtown so if they built it, I

166
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: walked right in there, like, man, what y'all got going on?

167
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: It's cool? Though they got some good shit in there. Yeah.

168
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: Now you dropped your last out Face in January, did

169
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: you feel pressure to follow up in the same year?

170
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: H Yeah, yeah because it did so well, you know

171
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But it is what it is. I

172
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: feel like the same formula, same room. You know. Do

173
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: you feel like you gotta like stay in these people's faces?

174
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Nowadays many got the Internet, social media, like new stuff

175
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: happening every day, so you gotta stay really stay creative, steak,

176
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, competitive all of it. I

177
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: just wonder about that with younger artists because it's like, man,

178
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: it feel like you can water yourself down real quick,

179
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: or it could feel like people can forget it, forget

180
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: about you real quick. It depends on how you do

181
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: it too, though, Like some people do water theirself down

182
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: and put too much content in music out. But if

183
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: you're playing in private the right way, I feel like,

184
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it's gonna make sense. And

185
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: the quality of it too, yeah, Like you can't just

186
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: put anything out. And even when Face you added songs

187
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: to it too, like you did a deluxe version right

188
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: like kind of right away. And it's crazy when I

189
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: did a deluxe. It's like the Deluxe got a better

190
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: response than the regular takeing know what I'm saying. I

191
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: did the Deluxe on the like one night, you know

192
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's crazy. We were talking about

193
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: when we go to different markets, the ogs in that

194
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: market and do they mentor the younger rappers or do

195
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,360

Speaker 1: doing right now. I feel like everybody's trying to get

225
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: what they can get. You know, it's been so long

226
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080

237
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: type of band. So I played the trumpet. It just

251
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, ain't no telling, man. That's why you know

252
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,880

253
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: to you know, get rich for real. No cat, That's

254
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: why I look at this as a blessing. You know

255
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't take it for granted. I

256
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: try to stay out the way of these cats. You

257
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Keep my face clean because I

258
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: know I get you know what I'm saying. Somebody said

259
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: that baby Face gonna last forever because he doesn't promote

260
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: violence or drugs. He just get flied and get money.

261
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Ye'll see that what you thought about it? Um? Yeah,

262
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: I agree. I don't promote violence, and you know what

263
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I do talk about it sometimes because it's

264
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: just you know, yeah, what's going on around you know.

265
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: But I agree with them for sure. Is that I

266
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: can't watch this effort not to do that. Huh? Is

267
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: that a conscious effort not to do that? It just

268
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: is what it is with me. What I'm saying, I

269
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: ain't known that type of sound. You know. Did you

270
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: have any hesitation when they offered you a spot on

271
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: the freshman list for Double XAL for sure, for sure,

272
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: I ain't even want to do it for real, Andy,

273
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, might as will do it? You

274
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying this, I ain't gonna front act

275
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: like I don't want to be on a double X sale.

276
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: I've been friend on myself, so I needed because that's

277
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: something I wanted to do for you. Well, do you

278
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: feel like that because they fronted on you? Or yea?

279
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: I feel like they front on me, But it probably

280
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: ain't front on me. They probably just wouldn't thinking about

281
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: me at the time, you know what I'm saying. Sometimes

282
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: you'd be thinking in our head that overthinking the situation,

283
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like man, y'all overlook, they

284
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: don't even be that. So what do you think was

285
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: like a turning point for you? For it? Because I

286
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: felt like before the pandemic, you know, everybody locally knew

287
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: who you were, and I felt in the music business.

288
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, everybody's like baby face

289
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: very one of my favorite What do you think was

290
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: a turning point? When that happened? I dropped the EP

291
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: man called for you, you know what I'm saying, And

292
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: My whole plan when I did the EP was I

293
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: knew that we couldn't go outside. Everybody was listening to music,

294
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: and I called my cameraman and told him the whole play.

295
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not shooting no videos. I'm not putting

296
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: nothing nowhere else but on iTunes so they can go

297
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: straight to it. And that's the EP that had Paperwork

298
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Party number one fan. After I dropped that on my

299
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: phone kind of started blowing up. Different labels started calling.

300
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: That's how I even got introduced to bearing Line for real.

301
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: She was working at Interscope and they was trying to

302
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640

Speaker 1: great because you hear like, you know, for a lot

307
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: of people, especially during the pandemic, they were really feeling

308
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: like I don't know what I'm gonna do. Yeah, I

309
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: was like that for you, I ain't gonna I was

310
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: lost and sus you know, we we come from rap

311
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: hustling meaning versus and shows. That's how we're making our

312
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: money for real. So when a pandemic hit. It was

313
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: kind of like, damn, what we're gonna do. The trade

314
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: was getting to the money, though, no for sure, because

315
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: we ain't know what this spake. Once we figured out

316
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: all that, you know, what was going on with the

317
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: pandemic and how they I ain't do none of that stuff,

318
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: but all the money came to me because a lot

319
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: of people was buying features and you know what I'm saying.

320
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that money was flowing man. Yeah, yeah,

321
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: I heard they had cop tech outside with the jewelry

322
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: stories because everybody was buying so much jewelry. Man, was

323
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: a line outside of the jewry stuff, like people just

324
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: buying stuff just about and I got that value ended

325
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: up going back down. Yeah, yeah, I got a missed up.

326
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: What's the importance of having a manager? I don't think

327
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: people talk about that enough because I even think about,

328
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: like for somebody like you who was getting hot and

329
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: then you start getting booked for shows, like how do

330
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: you know when to go up on your show prices

331
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So what's the importance of a manager? Man?

332
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: I feel like it's key because it's only so much

333
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: you can do as an artist, you know, what I'm saying,

334
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: you need to stay locked in and handle your business.

335
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: Having a manager. It's very key depending on who it is. Though.

336
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: You know, some managers be in it just because they

337
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: want to be in it. Now, you gotta find a

338
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: manager that's really in sync with you and that's gonna

339
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: help you push your you know what I'm saying, your

340
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: movement and what you your agenda is. Some cats be

341
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: trying to manage just to manage because they see you

342
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: get a little friction just you want to be around.

343
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: But it's important for show. Caroline will fly out to

344
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: wherever you add and make those And it's also like

345
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: connecting an artists. Yeah, you know that maybe you wouldn't

346
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: have had that interaction with otherwise. I was just telling

347
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: somebody they was talking about signing new artists and all

348
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: of that. I'm like, man, y'all gotta people gotta start

349
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: like getting with the artists and chilling with them and

350
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: learning their character before they start moving forward with the

351
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: business and whatever. You know what, You never know what

352
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: they might be on. It might be something you don't like.

353
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: I feel like social media got at the point, Oh

354
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: he's he's fired, I'm gonna sign him and then you

355
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: sign them and you get with him. You don't even

356
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: like this person. So it's important to get with people

357
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and learn them, you know what I'm saying. But they're

358
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: probably not even looking at you as a person. They

359
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: probably just looking at you as a product, not for seure.

360
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: So you're out there real quick, mixing money, move on

361
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: to the next thing. That's that's what they're doing. I'm

362
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: already knowing that for sure. So that important to you too,

363
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Like before you signed to a major label, would you

364
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: want to get to know the exacts and everybody else

365
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: over That's why I'm locked in with Empires so much, Okay,

366
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like because of the relationship, how they deal

367
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: with me and how we deal with each other. Like guys,

368

369
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: even if I ain't talking about music. I just want

370
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: to kick it with them about something. They with it

371
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: and they're touching right down, tinto they wherever you want

372
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: to want them to come. They pull them right up.

373
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: They're not tripping. You know what I'm saying. You would

374
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: think that by guys, he being ahead of the label,

375
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be like They're like, dude, ain't really tripping

376

00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: guys through there. People ain't even think we weren't gonna

382
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: get money off rep. So for guy to come through

383
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: and get distribution deals out like how it was, he

384
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: was a blessing. Yeah, you never thought you would make

385
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: money off rap coming from the Detroit. You know, we

386
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,840

390
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: once I figured it out, it was like damn, you know.

391
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: And a little chick that was coming monthly, I thought

419
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: just trying to make it certain individual records. If it's

420
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: a radio song, then it's somebody like telling me like, man,

421
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: this something good for the radio, like an idea, and

422
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: we're going with. But I don't be in the studio

423
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: like it's trying to make a club bangering. I'm really

424
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: just going off the natural feeling and what's going on.

425
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: I feel for Yeah, what was happening when you really

Speaker 1: to beat in the hook owner already and he was

429
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: just playing it, playing and playing it. He's like, I

430
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: think you should put a verse on there. And I'm like, man,

431
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: this really ain't my swag. Like, man, trust me, and

Speaker 1: going crazy. Ain't gonna What makes it not your swag?

434
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Because you see me like tricking on the ladies, Well, lady,

435
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's not my swag. Just you know,

436
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: just how to meet the songs. This radio typestyle, it's

437
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: it's different from what I'm putting out, it ain't about

438
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: the ladies. Like you know, I love the ladies for show,

439
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: and I definitely agree that you need to spend it

440
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: if you're dealing with them, you know what I'm saying.

441
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying the style of the song, you

442
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I wish artist understood that radio

443
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: is so lost right now. Radio don't even know what

444
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: a radio record is, you know what I mean. So

445
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: it's like if you play music and get it popping,

446
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: eventually radio gonna come. I think the radio thing and

447
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: we didn't kind of lost it a little bit because

448
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: of the streaming and social media. You know what I'm saying.

449
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't even think people listen to the radio they're

450
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: going to work or what not or something like that.

451
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: But that's no, that's a fact. I think that I

452
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: forgot what the actual number is. But it's like majority

453
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: of people who listening to radio listening when the commuting

454
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: in their cause I'd be taking my daughter to school,

455
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm your radio. You know what I'm saying.

456
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you know, when I pulled up

457
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: on you in Detroit, you had a bunch of artists

458
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: as well new artists as well. So who are some

459
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: of the new artists that we should be looking at

460
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: with that you're working with? Um when you pulled up,

461
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I was actually at my homeboy spot, uh Lo Segnetti.

462
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Who my guys. You know what I'm saying. I helped

463
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: jump start their career. You know what I'm saying. I

464
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: actually pay for their first video and you see what

465
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: you pull it up to. They got a whole brand building, clubwood,

466
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: studio and everything, and that's just off of me putting

467
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the blueprint down for them. But you know, Lo Segnetti,

468
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: you gotta get what gave you the knowledge do that

469
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: because a lot of people, you know, it's hard for

470
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: them to help other people unto they feel like they

471
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: made it, made it. But you you you've seen something

472
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: in them that was like, I'm gonna help these brothers out.

473
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: It's just what people did for me when I ain't

474
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: had nothing going on. The places my ogs me and

475
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: what they showed me and what they allowed me to

476
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: do when I wouldn't have an emotion was like everything

477
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: because it taught me, Like it taught me about the

478
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to get, wanted to do and

479
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: it also taught me what not to do, you know

480
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, but I always remember them reaching

481
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: back and help me up. So it's a natural thing

482
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: for me. If I see somebody trying and trying to

483
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: do something, I'm an instantly like with all no payment

484
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: and none of them, like I ain't even trying to

485
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: get none out of just like, oh you on that,

486
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: come on, let's get it. You know what I'm saying.

487
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: A big deal. That's how is it? I believe that,

488
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: you know? But what about the song nice Guy? Let's

489
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: talk about that for a second thing, because kind of

490
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: the opposite of this conversation, because sometimes people do take

491
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: advantage when you're being a nice guy ninety percent of time.

492
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Somebody trying to take advantage of

493
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Regardless it don't matter how kind hearted you

494
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: is or not, they still gonna be a voter and

495
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: try to know what I'm saying. So that's what the

496
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: nice guy song was about for real life. Just if

497
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: you know me, you know my character, you know my heart,

498
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm on. You know I'm just

499
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: a nice guy, period what I'm saying. So the song

500
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: was me just saying that it ain't no more that

501
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: sometimes people treat you crazy. You know what I'm saying,

502
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: when they see you on that type of time. You

503
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, People like that just playing themselves though, Yeah,

504
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, because all they're doing is burning the bridge,

505
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: ruining a relationship. You know, I agree, So they're really

506
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: not playing you, And I think that's something for us

507
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: to have to learn to like to set like we

508
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: always talked about setting boundaries because once you do something

509
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: for somebody, certain people will appreciate it. Some people will

510
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: continue to always keep asking you for things, and then

511
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: you might got to say no, and then all of

512
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: a sudden you the worst person. Literally literally what you're

513
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: saying for sure, Well no more missed a nice guy here. No, No,

514
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna change. I ain't gonna change my way

515
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: like I still gotta be me regardless. I ain't about

516
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: to switch because y'all other people crazy. You know what

517
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm gonna keep doing. I just gotta be

518
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: more careful or what I'm giving my energy. You know

519
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, time too, But you gotta sat boundaries.

520
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: But you are who you are, I mean so if

521
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: you if you're that type of person, you're gonna be

522
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: that type of person, regardless of how many people burn you.

523
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: No shore, and besides music, what other aspirations do you have?

524
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: I always liked the basketball until I once again got

525
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: in a high school and figured out was too little

526
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: to even pursue that, So I scratched that off. But

527
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: really good though, Yeah, I was all right. I ain't

528
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna lie if you saw me on the Crew League

529
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: or anything of that nature. I've just been out of shape,

530
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: so don't blame me for that. But somebody, somebody watching

531
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: this right nowhing I used to bust his ass. No, no,

532
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: he didn't do too it. On the Crew League. We

533
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: won the first game, we lost, the walking up the hat,

534
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: me checking, walking flocking. Y'all know how big he six.

535
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah it was bad, But um,

536
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I like fashion. I'm kind of in a fashion, and

537
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie of music. It ain't no playing

538
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: b for me. Like music is what it's gonna be

539
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: for me. I feel because I remember how music used

540
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: to do for me at a young age, change my

541
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: move my attitude and all of that. So regardless if

542
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: i'm rapping or doing whatever I'm doing, I'm gonna be

543

Speaker 1: doing music something some way somewhere with them fanning an

544
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: artist or something to help. You know what I'm saying,

545
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: Like music gonna be a part of my situation for

546
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: a minute. What about acting? Acting? M I always wanted
