So it's just like what I'm going through 170 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: right now with the sussys that I'm having, you know, 171 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: or was the intention to drop two albums this year? 172 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: No No Um Face came out and did incredibly well, 173 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: like the feedback. I wasn't gonna, you know, put nothing 174 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: else out, but you know, I'm a fan of music, 175 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and I've been listening to everybody music. I'm like, let 176 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: me put something else out there. Cap it off. They 177 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: might have forget you know what I'm saying what I 178 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: did at the beginning, So let me get them something 179 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: at the end. So go wing into this album. Did 180 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: you feel pressured to kind of match that sound for sure? 181 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: Because I did. The feedback on that one was incredible, 182 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: so it's like, let me get him out bad. I 183 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: kind of got more raw and put a kind of 184 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: more emotions in this album than I did on Face. 185 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: Me on Face, I was trying to appeal to the 186 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: world because I was just not getting through the dough. 187 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: And I know it was all types of people listening. 188 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: So MOB is me just like being a little bit 189 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: more blunt and cut, you know what I'm saying, Because 190 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: while I was listening to me, it feels like there's 191 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: shades of like cynicism throughout the project, Like even on 192 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: the first song waves out on every chain you say, 193 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: you can feel who loves you, you can feel who don't. Yeah, right, Like, 194 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: how can you even feel like that? I can you tell? 195 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: I think I'm blessed with reading people energy. I'm saying, 196 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: like you could tell if somebody feeling you're not feeling, 197 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: you can feel it on you know what I'm saying. 198 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: I've been like that all my life. So and even 199 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: like on other records like brand new bands, he said 200 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: he sensed the hate from the ones you love and 201 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: spill my cup, you know, sensing the hate from the 202 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: ones that like I get that a lot throughout the 203 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: project because when you grow into something, bro, it's like 204 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: nobody never talks about the other side. They always see 205 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: the success. So you're growing up, Nobody talked about the 206 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: change that happens to the environment around you, the people 207 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: around you, because you're not able to do the same 208 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: stuff that you was able to do before. You know, 209 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: before I was doing my thing, I was able to 210 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: spend more time with my loved ones and be standing 211 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: right here. And now it's like I'm doing my things. 212 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: I can't do that. And sometimes people don't know how 213 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: to take that, and they treat you different and they 214 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: put it as if you change it when it's really there, 215 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Because it was success. Yeah, 216 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: and even with you being successful to throughout this year, 217 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: you had a busy springing summer. Man, Like you just 218 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: came off the tour and I saw that you said 219 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: that something New York City was a goal of yours 220 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: to do that. While was that so important? And stuff 221 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: like New York and New York is the macha, Like 222 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: New York is the mega music. You know, you go 223 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: to New York. Everything came remember and some of the 224 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: top doors, you know, jay Z nas Jada Kiss, fabulous, 225 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: These all artists I listened to coming up. You know 226 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Be able to sell out some of 227 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: New York. It's just a goal period. Even though the 228 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: crowd was kind of steal rough from me. But it 229 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: was like that Roy mall like it was like it 230 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: was rocking, and he was like, I couldn't tell because 231 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: New York is such a tough crowd. Yeah, yeah, well 232 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: shout out to New York. And it was feeling it 233 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: because they don't like they don't like to give it 234 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: up though. But you know, we really talk about the 235 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: thing we like in New York. Cause he say, Atlanta 236 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: has so much unity, right, like the artists all get 237 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: along or there's so much uni. But you look at Detroit, 238 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: I feel like you guys are really unified. Like I 239 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: saw something a couple of months ago. It was like 240 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: you and Ice wear Vessel and baby money and you 241 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: know the tides of you all, guys. Can you explain 242 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: how there's so many ties with each other, Like you 243 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: guys are really all emerging and all connected in some way, right, Yeah, 244 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: it's crazy that we're all having our own thing. Everybody 245 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: they on brand for sure. But I actually visits from 246 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: my neighborhood, you know what I'm saying. Peasy from my neighborhood. 247 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: But he was up the street easy. We used to 248 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: be in a rap group together. Um Ice Wool was 249 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: doing this thing. I kind of like brought them together. 250 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: Um baby money. He from my cousin neighborhood. We used 251 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: to us to play basketball with him, Like I've seen 252 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: him coming up from the dirt dirt, you know what 253 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's crazy that we all connected like this, 254 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: and that's how something he was. He was in the 255 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: group with Peas and then he took he blew up. 256 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: He started making noise like a breakout star moment, and 257 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: you seem like you, they were saying, you didn't really 258 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: just jump at it real fast. You didn't follow that 259 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: up yourself for to your minute, you know what I mean. 260 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: When you're in the group and it's like the drummer, 261 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: you know what, the drummer can't go so low. But 262 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: Easy was the first break card artist. He was doing 263 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: this thing, and it was kind of hesitant. You're looking 264 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: at the group and then the world select one. It's like, okay, 265 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: he didn't want to let him go. So it took 266 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: a while for me to even get on my own thing, 267 00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I remember that was 268 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: a record that we being beat out really connected with 269 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: rap Radar and didn't even realize how much of it 270 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: was important to your city, which was the T Grizzly 271 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: the first day out record. Yeah, that really changed the 272 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: sound and kind of really validated that, Oh Detroit, that's 273 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: the Detroit sound, right, It's uncompromising and that really inspired 274 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: you right to me, man, what because you gotta think 275 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: we was doing it for so long we thought our 276 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: song would never break through. You know, T used to 277 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: before he got locked up, He used to come around. 278 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: We used to do music because we was team. He said. 279 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: We was kind of like the popping guys. You know, 280 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: T was on the come up. But he when he 281 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: got locked up and came out with the same sound 282 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: that we've been trying to break through, and he broke 283 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: through it. Kind of he really helped everybody. I don't 284 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: nobody would never say that, but he is the one 285 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: who basically like kicked the door open, saw the dug 286 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that song of the street 287 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: reality raw Ratt. Before then we had you know, Sean 288 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: and the Angel. Not to discredit none of them, but 289 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: where we come from what we had going on. T 290 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: was the first to lay the love with it. Describe 291 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: that sound fully and like, how does it represent Detroit? 292 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: Because it is like the nonchalant and this to it, 293 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: like the element to it when you're talking about real 294 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: serious street ship. But it's like it's kind of like, 295 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, is there an insensitivity and the flows of 296 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: of the like the craziness that's going on, or just synically, 297 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: what do you think it is that the nonchalant stuff 298 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: come from it being a natural thing and what's going on? 299 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We're speaking about it so 300 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: nonchalant because it's actually, you know, this is our this 301 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: is our life. So I always like to say it's 302 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: reality rep you know what I'm saying. So it's just 303 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: the reality of what our environment is right now, even 304 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: on brand new bands. He said that a line of 305 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: maybe chuckle. He said, they want the old Ray tell 306 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: them stuck a dicky. How would you described the old Ray? 307 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: Old Ray was just like me trying to find myself, 308 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: just like just being super like I don't know the 309 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: old Ray d I mean, if you go back and 310 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: listen to my projects, some of it is just like 311 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: super wrong.

I didn't know that 369 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: my mom actually tried to go to college and try 370 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: and then she got pregnant and had to stopped going 371 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: to college to provide for us. I never knew nothing 372 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: of that because she never said like it wasn't a 373 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: big thing. She did what she had to do. But 374 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: my brother was telling you know what I'm saying, like 375 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: sometimes I might fly to them out of time.

So what do you think it wasn't your break? 489 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: You can you attribute it to a single moment, because 490 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: the thing about you, I think it's probably good. It's 491 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: like you're not just defined by one song. We've also 492 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: seen people have a hit record and then can't really 493 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: match that magic again, right, and defined by that Like that, 494 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: it seems like what you you're not defined by one record. 495 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: I think Paperwork Party was what did paperwork? When I 496 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: put paperWe party, I was like the world heard that 497 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: and gravitated towards me, and then I started meeting different 498 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: people and then that's from that moment, that's when I 499 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: kind of like form my team and we've been shooting 500 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: for the stars every since. So I save Paperwork Party. 501 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: Did that feel like one of those ones when you 502 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: did it? Or did you? Man? It's crazy? Uh, it 503 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: was my birthday and if you know me, I don't 504 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: like to do nothing on my birthday. Didn't try the 505 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: surprise party, do anything, and so I got the studio 506 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 1: set up in my house. I told myself for my birthday, 507 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I was just gonna record, and then the theme came 508 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: from a lot of guys getting out of jail and 509 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: showing a paperwork. I've never been a jail and none 510 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: of that, and I just was being kind of like 511 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: comic cool, like man, I'm good on the paperwork talking 512 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: about money, and that's how everything came about what I'm saying. 513 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: So when Paperwork Party took off, you put the boy 514 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: at Jack Hollow on the remix with Puta he Hum. 515 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: I had did some music with STG where I put 516 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: him on Pink Teens previously and he had hit me 517 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: about it, like, bro, that that song crazy, and I'm like, 518 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: let's work. He was like for surely, and I sent 519 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: him to record and then we put it out again 520 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: and he actually put me on his tour, which was 521 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: my first tour. Yeah for sure. Yeah. I went on 522 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: tour with Jack Harlow first, and it was a great 523 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: learning experience because I didn't know how tour worked. I 524 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: didn't know about TV tracks, I didn't know about none 525 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: of that. Used to I'm not. Jack Harlow used to 526 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 1: bring me out every night on his set with the 527 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: TV tracks, which I wasn't too familiar with us to 528 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: be stumbling. I had him pulling me off, he said, 529 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: just to get my stuff together. So I learned a 530 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 1: lot on tour when I'm just stage presidents, you know, 531 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: production and things of that nature. Do you explain that 532 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: people made not know TV tracks because people come TV tracks? 533 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: Is uh, where you don't have the words connected to 534 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: the beat and you basically wrapping an acapella what Jady 535 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: Kiss was saying that Jip said when they was doing 536 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: the version. Yeah, so I understood when he was saying that, like, Okay, 537 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have caught that though if I ain't know. 538 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: So now, when your performances, you don't rely on back vocals, 539 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: deepening on what song it is? Something song I got downpacked, 540 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: but something I still got on me yea, So Paoper, 541 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: we're parties the one that usually rings off the most 542 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: when you're doing your lot.
