260
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 5: in the sessions, but uh, you know, depending on what

261
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 5: the vibe is for today. You know what I'm saying.

262
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,440

264
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: the organ. I would sit up there. I got a

265

Speaker 5: twin brother, both of us. He tried to get us up.

266
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: I had me sit right next to him on the organ,

267
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,160

Speaker 1: What is that, bruh.

271
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: One of the most intense piano trainings. Uh, not necessarily

272
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: just piano. I believe violin like there's different forms of it,

273
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: but it's a Japanese style of piano, and I absolutely

274
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 5: hated it. I used to have to practice every single day.

275
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: I say, I grew up in the house where you

276
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,080

Speaker 5: If it was my mom, probably if it was my dad,

287
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 5: it was probably like, no, nigga, you need to practice

288
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: and that's all.

289

00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,040

00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Know what, force is tougher, you know what I mean?

382
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,000

00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like I don't want to

386
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 4: do it?

387
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: No, It's so funny.

388
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 6: I think that's why he and I have such good

389
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 6: chemistry because we come from two different sides of music

390
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 6: of coming into music, you know what I mean. Like, ultimately,

391
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 6: my dad, even though he was a street guy, he

392
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 6: was so engulfed in loving music that he was like,

393
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 6: my kids have to do music. Wow, this is the

394
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 6: way out. This is all of these things. So even

395
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 6: you know, we go back and forth and we laugh

396
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 6: a lot about I'm like, bro, you're a music nerd, right,

397
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 6: And it's funny because I've almost ran away from being

398
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 6: a music nerd because he'd.

399
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: Be like, well, nigga, you know that you gifted and

400
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:32,720

00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't, No, I don't know.

402
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: Just one day I could see.

403
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 6: But it's because, like you're saying, being forced to practice, dude,

404
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 6: this instead of discovering it, like his is pure discovery.

405
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: Discovery, you know, his is pure discovery. So it's only

406
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: the joy of it.

407
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the whole block outside and my family

408
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,720

00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 5: so we were singing some Minis Standard commission of course.

475
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 5: But around fourteen, I find out that my cousin Titus

476
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: with some of the other songs that we were singing.

477
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 5: I find it and I'm thinking at the time that

478
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 5: these are just songs that are out, and then I find

479
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 5: out these songs that he wrote. Yeah, I'm like, like

480
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 5: what like? And then he showed me that we had

481
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 5: either thirteen or fourteen. He showed me like how to

482
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 5: write songs, and that was how that was how it started.

483
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 5: And then we just I stuck with him those next

484
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: couple of years, like we would go through the middle school,

485
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 5: high school, and then.

486
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 4: Writing songs for the group. And that was how we

487
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 4: got into I'm telling you nice though, like nice, real nice.

488
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: So where y'all performing? I just going from church to church.

489
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 4: The whole city.

490
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, like any like churches, festivals around the city, like

491
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 5: they were calling us to come sing at all of those.

492
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: But even before the group though, like as a kid,

493
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 5: so my dad played as I mentioned, and he.

494
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: Were liked his little father son dudo.

495
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 5: Man, we ended up I'd be singing that stuff throughout

496
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 5: the city, like different functions. They'd be having different fundraisers.

497
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 5: It'd be him on the keys, me singing, and.

498
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was really where like that wasn't

499
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: taking Jermaine with.

500
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: Your Jermaine wasn't that none of the latest performances at all. No,

501
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 5: he was wherever he was. Yeah, he didn't have no

502
00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 5: part of that.

503
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: I'm cool Jermaine. Jermaine wanted to.

504
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: I think as we got older, Jermaine got the bug

505
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 5: for music. But yeah, it never uh it never stuck

506
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: with him, you know what I mean. He was also

507
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 5: like more in like the finding. He ended up going

508
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 5: to getting his degree in like financing economics and that

509
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 5: and that kind of thing whatever.

510
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: But he's Jermaine Sings. It's still to this day singing

511
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: a church every Sunday, praising wordship to this day right now,

512
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: next Sunday he's up on the stage guaranteed.

513
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 5: So it would be my dad and I going around

514
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: seeing all these I don't even know how he's booking

515
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 5: these these gigs like all around the city, and I would, yeah,

516
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 5: we would go out there and show up and sing

517
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: a couple, a couple of number numbers and and do

518
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 5: our things.

519
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 4: But I was again like I never growing up.

520
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: I never was like.

521
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 5: Comfortable, like just like like super comfortable, like singing in

522
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 5: front of people like that. But for some reason I

523
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 5: was able to always flip it off and do what

524
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: I need to do, and that actually carried over into

525
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: getting into the industry. I would be able to turn

526
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: off whatever the nervous switch is.

527
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 4: And not and not making the moment bigger than.

528
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 5: Than what I was there to do, you know what

529
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 5: I mean, Like I somehow I was able to always

530
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 5: do that, so it carried over all the way through.

531
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: But I've never just been like you know, like I

532
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: love like me.

533
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: Jump out and you know what I'm saying, which I

534
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: feel like to be an artist and to be a

535
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 5: successful artist, I think you have to enjoy what you

536
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 5: do because there's so much other stuff that comes along

537
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 5: with being an artist that at the end of the day,

538
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: it has you have to love what you do. It's

539
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 5: got to come back down to the love. I love

540
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: what you know what. I hate this, that, that, and that,

541
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: But I love getting up and singing and performing and

542
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 5: doing what I do. I think it all comes back.

543
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 6: That's why I only sing sometimes, bro, But because for me,

544
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 6: I don't get the same I don't get the same

545
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 6: joy out of it.

546
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: That tanked up.

547
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand.

548
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 6: I see it up close with him because you know,

549
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 6: we've we've taken this ride together to where we'll be

550
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 6: dealing with all the foolishness to business, all this stuff.

551
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 6: And I can see him and I'm like, all right,

552
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 6: it's weighing on him a little. And then as soon

553
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 6: as he's walking towards the stage, he don't care about nothing.

554
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: That we with, the switches flip and I'm still like,

555
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: I want killing and you want me to come.

556
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: Out and say you want me to trying to tie.

557
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: Wait, let me ask you, do you feel like, that's

558
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 4: something you're born with.

559
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: Though, what's that?

560
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 5: That what he was just saying about you? The ability,

561
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 5: like the I don't know if it's the love for

562
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: it or whatever. I think you're born with it. I

563
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 5: don't think it's something you can teach. I don't think

564
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 5: it's something you can learn. I think it's something that's

565
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: innately in you.

566
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: I think you're born with it. It just depends on

567
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: how you how that space is defined for you, Like

568
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: for me, that space is untouchable for anything, for anybody.

569
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: That is my space.

570
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: Was it always that way?

571
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: Did you always look at it that way?

572
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: No? I was always happy in it. Yeah, but I

573
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: didn't know how to define it or what it was,

574
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: or even how to protect it. For that matter, I

575
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: get it. And so for me, once I learned that, man,

576
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: when I'm up here, nothing else matters and learned I

577
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: learned it from a crazy place, from being on stage,

578
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: being extremely happy, being extremely fulfilled, and being extremely broke.

579
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: Huh broke, uh divorced, all of that and none of

580
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: that mattering that moment. Okay, and this is when you're

581
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: singing background, are are you? This is when I'm doing

582
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: just you know, a little random shows, keep the lights on.

583
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Tank. Okay, Okay, I'm Tank. You know

584
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I got maybe I deserve, I got

585
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: one man out and yeah, and I'm trying to I'm

586
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where the happy is that I

587
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: can all where I can always get there. And I

588
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: realized that in music on stage in that studio, nothing

589
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: nothing else fuck matter. Wow, Like okay, wow, okay, Because

590
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: because I had allowed the stress, the stresses of life

591
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: to weigh me down so crazy to where it affected everything.

592
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: And then one day consciously I said, I'll never do

593
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: that again. I'll never let anything disrupt the gift, disrupt

594
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: the space that the gift lives in. And so it

595
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: wasn't always like that.

596
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 4: Wow.

597
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: I had to adopt that that's amazing.

598
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing.

599
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: And I was through the fire and know what I'm saying.

600
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 1: So I was like, it's all we got to go

601
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: through all this ship just to get on the stage.

602
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: It's crazy when that mother fucking music come on. When

603
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: we get them push up here and we pumped that

604
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: chest because you know they want to see it, put

605
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: them in ears in and were taking that walk. It's

606
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: a different thing.

607
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: It's a whole different different beings.

608
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 6: No, I I listen, but that's not something you wanted. No, Nah,

609
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 6: I didn't.

610
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 4: I didn't and and I didn't notice like writing song

611
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: professionally like was even a thing, you know what I mean,

612
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,200

00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 4: sheer we I love, like this is dope.

614
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 6: Like so you were because being from a place like

Speaker 6: Kansas City where so rich in music, you guys had

616
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,360

Speaker 4: I never knew anything about any of that.

623
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: Now, never did. And it might be just because I

624

Speaker 5: was so like in like the church, Lane, So it

625
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,600

Speaker 3: That's crazy. The radio version is crazy. But I could.

648
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: I could.

649
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: My mom she was, she was the gospel listener.

650
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 5: But my dad and so my dad, that's really where

651
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 5: I got like it was such a diverse listening palette.

652
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: So it was all the R and B.

653
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 5: But then my dad also I would listen to be

654
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 5: Michael McDonald and and Bobby called Well and like Steely

655
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: Dan and then to be a whole which I mean,

656
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 5: that's a whole other thing. But because they learned from yeah, yeah,

657
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 5: so you know what I'm saying, but that was where

658
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 5: I learned all that, and and I never associated a

659
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: skin type with any of that music. And so for me,

660
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 5: I always thought, like growing up, I thought Mike McDonald's black,

661
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 5: Bobby Carwell.

662
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 4: Was black listening to those voices, and then as you

663
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 4: get it's like, m h wait what but I like, I.

664
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 5: Just I just started reading Michael McDonald's biography and he

665
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 5: talks about like his whole influence it was was brothers, buh,

666
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 5: like the whole his and he's not, you know, ashamed.

667
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 4: About it, like he's like, oh yeah, like I.

668
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 5: Was listening to this day and so so yeah, so

669
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 5: for my dad that was where like everything it would

670
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 5: be like Chris Cross, like that was where I got

671
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 5: onto Christ like everything.

672
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 4: He listened to it all and so a lot of

673
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 4: that early on was just.

674
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 5: Kind of like poured into me essentially creatively as well,

675
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 5: and I didn't probably recognize it then, but yeah, singing

676
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 5: literally that was something from five I would perform with

677
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 5: him through the city until I was probably thirteen, fourteen

678
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 5: fifteen somewhere around there when I quit this zookie piano.

679
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,400

801
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 5: any of that. I was headed to the NFL Europe

802
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 5: and so I was doing trial to get try. I

803
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 5: never made a team though, I never made an actual team,

804
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: so I didn't make the chief.

805
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: What was your forty four four one was moving four for.

806
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 5: One, So I got when I got driveted to the

807
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 5: NFL Europe, I got moved from safety to running back

808
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 5: because I was like two thirty five too, that was

809
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 5: a big safety.

810
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they were like, yeah, we're gonna go ahead

811
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 4: and running back. So I got moved to running back.

812
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 4: But so what's where I felt Where I felt the pool,

813
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: where I felt the cause Again. This whole time, I'm

814
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: still writing and so I'm still were still doing music

815
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: and I'm writing songs. This was like two thousand and eight,

816
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 4: I think, somewhere around there. And so this was where

817
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 4: when I started.

818
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 5: See the two thousand and eight Yeah, I'd be like, okay,

819
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 5: Titus was out here. And then I started like realizing

820
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 5: and learning about like writing for other people that you

821
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 5: could write for other people. Yeah, and this is why

822
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 5: I'm in training camp. And while I'm like trying out still.

823
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 5: So when I was supposed to be studying my playbook, man,

824
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 5: I'm writing songs.

825
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 4: So I'll never forget.

826
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 5: I was in training camp in Tampa, in my roommate

827
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 5: doing training camp, he studying his playbook.

828
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 4: He hear me write, and so I'm saying, man, what

829
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 4: you uh? What's that was just some songs, right, like

830
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 4: you writing songs. It's like yeah, He's like it sings.

831
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 5: Some more that sounds crazy, like let me hear some one.

832
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 5: So uh, I'm doing that. I'm doing that the whole time.

833
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 5: And then I would go back to like studying my playlis.

834
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 5: But I could feel the music pulling me harder at

835
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 5: that Around this time, I started feeling the music pulling

836
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 5: me harder than football was, which was crazy because it

837
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 5: had always been football.

838
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 4: That was it, that was the only that was that

839
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 4: was my only focus. But I started really.

840
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: Feeling it pulling me.

841
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 5: And and I remember because some guys man like when

842
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 5: you when you've done that, whether it's football, basketball, anything,

843
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 5: if you've done something your whole life from a kid

844
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 5: or from middle.

845
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 4: School, and then all of a sudden, one day is

846
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 4: cut off and you can no longer.

847
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 5: So it's like some of the people play in the

848
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 5: NBA or NFL, It's like, all right, you done, Like

849
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 5: you all of a sudden can't get picked up by

00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 5: a team, So now what do you do with the

851
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 5: rest of your life?

852
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: You've done this one thing for so long. Now it's like,

853
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 3: what else are you gonna do? So I've had I know.

854
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 5: People that like struggled with it and had to like

855
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 5: actually get help to like to deal with the mental

856
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 5: the mental aspect of that, like, Okay, how do I

857
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 5: how do I just all of a sudden forget about

858
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 5: what I've been doing and find something else to do

859
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 5: with my life? Thankfully, thank God, like I did not

860
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 5: go through that, because again, like I felt the music

861
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 5: starting to pull me a little tugging on me a

862
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 5: little bit harder than the football.

863
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: And so.

864
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 5: When I got cut the last time, when I got

865
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 5: cut from the team, I remember saying to.

866
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 4: Myself, I'm done.

867
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 5: I'm done with I'm not, I'm not, I won't do

868
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 5: any more trials, no, nothing like, and then they try

869
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 5: to I got a call to the Frankfurt Galaxy of

870
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 5: the NFL European League.

871
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 4: They wanted me to come come out like mid.

872
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: Season, and I was like, and how old are you

873
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: at this point?

874
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 4: Oh twenty.

875
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: Two?

876
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty two, I think something like that.

877
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so so.

878
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 5: But I but I knew because again at this point,

879
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 5: Titus was sending me tracks, like because we weren't in

880
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 5: the same city, he was just sending me the tracks,

881
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 5: and I write to the tracks, and and I'm trying

882
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 5: to think if Brian was sending me tracks at this time.

883
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 5: I might have been getting tracks from Brian around this time.

884
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 4: But I remember being like, yeah, I'm done, Like, let

885
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 4: me figure out how to do this music thing, like,

886
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 4: let me just figure this out. So I ended up

887
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 4: moving back to k C. I moved back to k

888
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 4: C for a five minute, and I was because I

889
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 4: was still unsure, I like about the whole music thing,

890
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 4: like as far as like, how do you do music?

891
00:47:59,600 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

892
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 5: So what I was gonna do because my dad was

893
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 5: a dentist as well. I ain't seen he was a dentist.

894
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 5: He said, wait, nigga, what he was a dentist?

895
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I love it.

896
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 3: I love it. He was a dentist.

897
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 4: And so I came back home and then I went

898
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 4: to finish school, finished college. So I was like, maybe

899
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 4: I'll go maybe I'll go be a dentist. So I

900
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 4: started taking courses. Bro, I'll never forget I took. This

901
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 4: is what actually made me be like, you know what, No,

902
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 4: it's not the dentist thing for me. Man.

Speaker 4: do the rest of this, uh prerequisites, We're gonna go ahead.

910
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,400

00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 5: I didn't know what placing records was, and I quickly

947
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 5: learned because because Brian like landed something, I think I

948
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 5: gonna see Era and then and then it was Disturbia.

949
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 4: Forever for Chris Brown, and then like it was like off.

950
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 5: And so, yeah, we were doing songs. I was just

951
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 5: I was sending them joints back and forth. And then

952
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 5: I visited out here for the first time. What's that

953
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 5: the first Yeah, it was the first time. My other

954
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 5: cousin and I we visited out here, and then we

955
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 5: were just like doing records, doing songs in the studio

956
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 5: out here. So my first time ever in like an

957
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 5: actual like studio studio, which was dope.

958
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 3: I still remember.

959
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 5: It was off of uh, off of this is the

960
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 5: Lancashim or Violent. It was like a little almost like

961
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 5: a hole in the wall type joint too, though, like

962
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 5: right by that you remember that, like it used to

963
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 5: be like a KFC and a Blockbuster, like right everywhere

964
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 5: and what.

965
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: It's like a weird little where violin intersect intersect.

966
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 5: It was right over the studios, right over there, and

967
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 5: I remember walking in that studio because it was more

968
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 5: like a little like apartment turned studio. And I remember like, oh,

969
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 5: so this is a studio. This don't look like the

970
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 5: This don't look like the studios. It don't look like

971
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 5: the pictures.

972
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: Like that might have gave me the wrong pamphlet.

973
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 3: At the right place, y'all might get wrong amphlet.

974
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 5: But we broly locked in and then I went back

975
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 5: to KC for a second and then uh, and then

976
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 5: we ended up doing a deal with Brian and that's

977
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 5: what that's what made the like move official. Actually, it

978
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 5: was crazy. I moved out here without knowing that I

979
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 5: actually was moving out here full time like that. I'm

980
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 5: just just like I came out and never went back.

981
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 1: That's kind of how it goes.

982
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah really, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

983
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 4: I still remember my pop's telling me what this was like. Later,

984
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 4: my pop's telling.

985
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 5: Me, I didn't even know you had moved, Like I

986
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,680

00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 4: signed a deal with Brian at the time, a publishing

1005
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:39,080

1006
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 4: whole move like official, official official. But yeah again, like

1007
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 4: I came out here just thinking we're about these songs.

1008
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 6: But then like it was like, oh now he would

00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 6: talk you up so crazy, Brian, what man, man, oh

1010
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 6: you got your dayne Browne bro got here doing like

1011
00:53:58,719 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 6: he just constantly.

1012
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 5: I still remember the first track that the first song

1013
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 5: we did together, like I wouldn't I hadn't even thought

1014
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 5: about moving out here. He was out here because this

1015
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 5: was I think after his Sea era, but it was

1016
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 5: I think it was before forever and disturbing.

1017
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 3: I still remember that.

1018
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: It was the.

1019
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 5: The level of production compared to like other people I

1020
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 5: would work with, like in Casey or like.

1021
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 3: It was just different.

1022
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: Bros. He talks about that all the time. As far

1023
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: as just having local ears.

1024
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 6: Me, it's a thing, sure, having local, It's absolutely a thing.

1025
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 3: It's a thing.

1026
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: Man. You don't realize.

1027
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 3: You don't even realize, not even your fault and so what.

1028
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 4: But before I jumped ahead a little bit before, actually

1029
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 4: before Caleb.

1030
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 5: And I moved out here, we were doing so we

1031
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 5: were writing it. When we were writing some was in KC.

1032
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 5: We were writing him in a bathroom that we turned

1033
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 5: into a studio.

1034
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 4: He had a townhouse and we converted the bathroom. We

1035
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 4: had like a little styrofoam little joints had it up

1036
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 4: the bathroom and that was.

1037
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 3: And that was the move.

1038
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:17,959
Speaker 4: That was the booth.

1039
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 5: We slided slid the microphone in there and then and

1040
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 5: then taught ourselves how to engineer, how to cut the vocals,

1041
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 5: to do all that.

1042
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 3: It was crazy, like he gotta you start figuring out

1043
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 3: your whatever. However, whatever he sets up for you is

1044
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 3: your way is to push record.

1045
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 4: I want to say.

1046
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 5: We started in like fruity loops or something like that though,

1047
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 5: which was crazy, and then and then and then started

1048
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 5: he was really like becoming the engineer, you know what

1049
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 5: I mean, for real, for real.

1050
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 4: And then he was just like it got to.

1051
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 5: A point where he was just like cut me, cut

1052
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 5: my vocals. And then I would yeah, like the ha them.

1053
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 4: That's where all that's where all that started.

1054
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 5: But it was, yeah, I remember when when we when

1055
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 5: Brian's track started really like coming through like that.

1056
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 4: It would be like, why do you joint sound like

1057
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 4: they're on the radio, like you know what I mean,

1058
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 4: just just different.

1059
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 6: But that was a blessing in itself though, big time

1060
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 6: to have big time someone who already had number one

1061
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 6: records just sending joints back.

1062
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: To k C big time, that big time.

1063
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 6: I always always really loved that about your whole crew

1064
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 6: even and I say crew meaning that just the guys

1065
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,640

00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 6: y'all work together. But yeah, there is this there's a pipeline.

1067
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 6: There's a there's a pipeline to the music business real

1068

00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 4: had to save everything on the Titus having to save

1103
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 4: everything on the computer.

1104
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 5: It was a trit and I think he would have

1105
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 5: to save everything on there, all the track on there

1106
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 5: or something like that. And I remember, like this guy

1107
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 5: when we were using the studio, and I remember Titus

1108
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 5: would come in and be like.

1109
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 4: Why am I tracks being erased? How come I we

1110
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 4: just did this last night.

1111
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 3: Now it's not on here.

1112
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 4: Like I think Buddy was erasing his like the tracks because.

1113
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,919
Speaker 5: I think they're like he wanted to do music as well,

1114
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 5: from what I understand, like the guy wanted to do

1115
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 5: music as well. But then Titus just kind of like

1116
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 5: was kind of like really making some leeway and he.

1117
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: Was purposely a racist track.

1118
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 4: That's kind of what what we kind of felt like

1119
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 4: might have been.

1120
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 3: I thought you was gonna say, well, he just didn't

1121
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 3: really know, I remember we talked about it.

1122
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 4: Titus would be like, hey man, this is happening way

1123
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 4: too much, like I don't understand what.

1124
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 3: And then and then the ice of the cake. Prophet

1125
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 3: Todd Hall, you know, Prophet to Hall.

1126
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 5: He came to Kansas City one time to our church

1127
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 5: and he prophesied, he said, and he told, he told

1128
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 5: the guy, he said, that studio that you built, that's

1129
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 5: not for you.

1130
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 4: That's for Titus. That's for him. He didn't know Tic

1131
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 4: his name, but he was like, that's for him. So

1132
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 4: then the guys come then that might have put a

1133
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 4: little bit more.

1134
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: Studio you built.

1135
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 4: You thought it was for you, but that's for him.

1136
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 4: So the guy's like, well, I guess I need to

1137
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 4: give you a te key, Titus, you know what I mean.

1138
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,479
Speaker 5: But but for some reason, Titus was like we would

1139
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 5: show up the next day after we were work. We

1140
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 5: would write the stuff and show up and like the

1141
00:59:59,000 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 5: track is gone.

1142
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 3: That was going on.

1143
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was, it was.

1144
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

1145
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 4: Then right after that time, it was like, you know what,

1146
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 4: I'm about to just go ahead and get abouy there,

1147
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 4: take it back right back to La. So then he

1148
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 4: moved right back out here. And that from that point

1149
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 4: right after that little after that we saw.

1150
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: With Brian, your name, your name is is in really

1151
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: high standard.

1152
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this.

1153
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: I it really is like I've never met anybody.

1154
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 4: It's like I think it Dawayne.

1155
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: You hear that about a lot of people, the majority

1156
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: of this ship.

1157
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 4: When you really look at it, your name is really all.

1158
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 5: That's all, and it's it's it's almost like a credit

1159
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 5: since either got good credit or you got bad credit.

1160
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 3: If people hear your name and they like.

1161
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: But another part of that too, right, like you can

1162
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: be you can be very very gifted and and not

1163
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: check the facts the character box.

1164
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 3: But true, very true.

1165
01:00:55,640 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's such a limited run when they

1166
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: finally find reason to not let you die because they

1167
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: don't really want you in that ring again they're tolerating dang,

1168
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So the fact that you

1169
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: have the combination of gifting character is like, wow, why

1170
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: you all? You all? You're always going to get the

1171
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: call man man, man, man, wow and and delivered like

1172
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: like there's that there's there's there's an art to being

1173
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: a joy to be around. Yeah, yeah, right right, there's

1174
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: an art to that. Man, there's an art to walking

1175
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: into a room and being appreciative that you're there, working

1176
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: like it and acting like it and delivering like it.

1177
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 5: I think also too, like everybody's not a good collaborator. Ye,

1178
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 5: so well, I mean, which is I guess it's really

1179
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 5: what you was es sense of what you were saying.

1180
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 5: But everybody's not a good collaborator.

1181
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 3: So being a.

1182
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 4: Co writer writing with if you're not just doing one

1183
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 4: hundred percenters, you ain't printing this thing out here, you're

1184
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 4: right with other people, you have to know.

1185
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 5: You have to also know the personalities that you're working with.

1186
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 5: Some personalities you have to be able. You you might

1187
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 5: be an A type personality.

1188
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 4: But.

1189
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: You have to know.

1190
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 5: Like, there's certain people that I work with where I

1191
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 5: know I need to let them get out whatever it

1192
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 5: is that's up there.

1193
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 4: I know for me, I'm not gonna lose I'm not

1194
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 4: gonna lose it.

1195
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: That's there.

1196
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 4: I know what I'm tapping into what I need having to.

1197
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 5: There's certain people you work with where it's like if

1198
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 5: you don't let them just get it out, they lose

1199
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 5: it and.

1200
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 4: Then you no longer have them in the room. They're

1201
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 4: no longer there. But they're no longer there, you know

1202
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 4: what I mean. So to bring the best out of

1203
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 4: who you work, you have to know the personalities that

1204
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 4: you're working with and what brings the best out of

1205
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 4: that person, you know what I mean. Like, I think

1206
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 4: a lot of that, A lot of that goes into.

1207
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: That's a skill in itself, man, that's a skill in itself.

1208
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: You have to listen, you have to watch, You have

1209
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: to then you have to you have to know absolutely

1210
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: and then like he said, and still be able to

1211
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: keep your thought.

1212
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 6: Your thoughts exactly, you know what I mean, Because people

1213
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 6: get lost in theirs too, like, oh damn, what was

1214
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 6: I And then if you can identify that that's that

1215
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 6: type of personality and that's the person you're like, like

1216
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 6: you said, let them flush theirs.

1217
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 4: Out, yeah, one one thousand per man.

1218
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: And then you know who you can and can't work with.

1219
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: But and then, as we're speaking specifically to Chris Brown,

1220
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: you got to put your track shoes on. The boy

1221
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: is different, man, he's onto the other song sho He's different. Fast.

1222
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's different. Because how how old was he when

1223
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 4: y'all like matter or when y'all worked with it?

1224
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Fourteen?

1225
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 5: He was fourteen, Yeah, which is also too Like this

1226
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 5: is I think people don't, you know, they don't take

1227
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 5: into account like fourteen years old being thrown into a

1228
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 5: music industry where you're like, I remember him telling me

1229
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 5: early on. I think he might have been like fifteen something,

1230
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 5: but when he was just like send him to Atlanta

1231
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 5: and he's working with I forget who all he was

1232
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 5: working with it.

1233
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 3: You get that record deal and they trying to find it, bruh.

1234
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 5: But he's telling me like where they taking him to

1235
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 5: and some of the stuff. He's extracurriculous, as you know.

1236
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 5: And I'm like, as a fifteen year old or fourteen,

1237
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 5: fifteen year old, like, how do you how do you

1238
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 5: how do you deal with the fact that, like you're

1239
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 5: going from cause his story is crazy, like like it

1240
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 5: was almost overnight for him, like from playing.

1241
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 4: Basketball on his school team to no, no, no, no,

1242
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 4: you you about to you about to go do this?

1243
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. But y'all saw it early

1244
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 4: on with him, and I feel like he's just he's different. Man.

1245
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 4: Most people would have been most people you probably wouldn't

1246
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 4: even know, you wouldn't hear from him anymore. You're like,

1247
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 4: what in the world, like if they had gone.

1248
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 5: Through and started that early and then really going through

1249
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 5: a lot of the stuff that that bro's going through.

1250
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 5: I think it the nasty and the determination and the

1251
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 5: resiliency like to keep keep doing you, and not only

1252
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 5: keep doing you, but there's something to whether you're a

1253
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 5: Chris Brown or you a Tank or Dwayne or Jay whoever,

1254
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 5: there's there's something to also knowing how to separate. Okay,

1600
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,479

01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:28,440
Speaker 1: know what, accidentally right, But I'm saying, do you capitalize

1605
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: on that? Because you bro, you have insane musical moments

1606
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: as a creative and and your voice and your your

1607
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: your sonic and your signature. It's it's already vibrating at

1608
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: a level to where you can just jump right in.

1609
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 4: I have been thinking about like what that looks like,

1610
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

1611
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 1: And I like the dance. The dance, you know that's

1612
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: my area.

1613
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,560
Speaker 5: But you know what that that that is all that

1614
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 5: all that like acts dental and it's just like but

1615
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 5: it's been it's been amazing, especially the asscat check change,

1616
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. But get tapping into the

1617
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 5: We did a record last year for this artist's named

1618
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 5: Zarl Larson on She's she's a British artist.

1619
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 4: Uh really big British artists out there.

1620
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: But we did.

1621
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 5: We did a top top fifteen, top ten. I think

1622
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 5: it was record for her call on on My Love

1623
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:30,839
Speaker 5: with David Ghetto last year and creating writing the record,

1624
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 5: it was. It was one of the dopest things that

1625
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 5: I saw from somebody like Getta. We're writing song. He

1626
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 5: brought in the music that he wanted for the track

1627
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 5: for and he's like, Okay, this is what I'm looking for,

1628
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 5: so write the song. But then we attacked the verse

1629
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 5: like from a pop angle, well, you know, a dance angle.

1630
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:00,040
Speaker 4: He comes in and he's like, no, no, no, no, no,

1631
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 4: this is what I want.

1632
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 5: And he plays the most soul I don't even know

1633
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 5: if something from the like seventies, like a mother.

1634
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 4: Voice, like oh, like super strong, like you.

1635
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:13,640
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

1636
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 4: And then that was the approach I took on the

1637
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 4: verse for it for Zara. And then he comes in.

1638
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 4: He's like, yes, yes, it was a.

1639
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:22,720
Speaker 1: Super R and B.

1640
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 5: It was an R and B verse all the way

1641
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 5: through and through. He's like, yes, this is it, and

1642
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 5: then she cuts it and then it doesn't. It's what

1643
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 5: we were saying earlier. It doesn't come off so R

1644
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 5: and B for her to wear her audience is like

1645
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 5: it's too R and B, but it's an.

1646
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:39,560
Speaker 4: R and B.

1647
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 5: The prop wrote the whole thing like approach wise, we

1648
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 5: wrote the whole verse as an R and B soul record.

1649
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

1650
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 5: So I think it's what again again. It all comes

1651
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 5: back to It comes back to that. There's a group,

1652
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 5: and I'm talking that's on the dance front. Then on

1653
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 5: the country front. There's a group called They that I

1654
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 5: did a lot with on their last couple albums. But

1655
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 5: we did an album in twenty twenty one called the

1656
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 5: Amanda Tape. If you haven't heard it, go listen. It's

1657
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,640
Speaker 5: an amazing project. But we do the Amanda Tape and

1658
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 5: then the amazing, amazingly talented Casey Musgraves in Nashville.

1659
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 4: Here's the project.

1660
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 5: And then she reaches out and she's like, Hey, love

1661
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 5: this Amanda tape. Would y'all be down to do a

1662
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 5: week with me in Nashville? Go out and do a

1663
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 5: week with her in Nashville, And then we end up

1664
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 5: we end up being the only not only outside writers black,

1665
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 5: Drew Love, Dante and myself the only black people on

1666
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:51,639
Speaker 5: that whole country album and one number one number one

1667
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 5: country album. But we were the only black people that

1668
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 5: she brought in on. She does everything with just her team.

1669
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 5: But she did that and then she she was like, Yo,

1670
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 5: are you okay if I just leave your backgrounds on

1671
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 5: the record.

1672
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 3: I was like absolutely.

1673
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 5: So it's like if the song starts off with me

1674
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 5: and then and then her, and I'm like absolutely, And

1675
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 5: she jumps on the record with them with the group

1676
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,479
Speaker 5: day and she features on there that So it's just,

1677
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 5: you know, it all comes back to R and B.

1678
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 4: It always is gonna come back to R and B

1679
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 4: when you look at like the Beavers and and.

1680
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 5: You know, and seeing all that, like R and B

1681
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 5: y'all were probably writing R and B songs when y'all

1682
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 5: were doing that stuff.

1683
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

1684
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 6: For sure, the approach on it, you know what I

1685
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 6: mean for sure? I mean it's just mm hmm. Whoever sing, Yeah,

1686
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 6: and you put a different son.

1687
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely tinker with being an art that you're gonna

1688
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna.

1689
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 5: Figure out what that listens. It looks like, yeah, we're

1690
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 5: gonna see what that looks like. Yeah, yeah, I think so.

1691
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean listen because it's I always say, even I

1692
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 1: tell Domdjaris, I said, listen, it's something to being in

1693
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 1: the crowd and sing your song, perform and a way

1694
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,240
Speaker 1: that's life changing in that room. Yeah, and then there's

1695
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 1: something to you actually being on the stage that song

1696
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: that is changing the lives of everybody in that room.

1697
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:11,639

1708
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,000

Speaker 4: I can guarantee you, and I don't even know if,

1715
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 4: but I can guarantee you it's not a lot.

1716
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: I love all of this shit.

1717
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you you.

1718
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: What happens is and what I've noticed is that the

1719
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 1: one thing that can happen is you can get burnt

1720
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 1: out with the process man, man of creating and coming

1721
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: up with new and rebranding, and long studio hours and

1722
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,800
Speaker 1: photo shoots, video shoots, all of these things can get

1723
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: They can get tiring old. Wow. Even though you love

1724
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:39,120
Speaker 1: the music, the idea of it, the you know, the

1725
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: initial reason why you fell in love with it, but

1726
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 1: everything surrounding it drains you. It can take from you.

1727
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 1: I can only speak for them. I do not speak

1728
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: for me.

1729
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 3: Come on now, I love that.

1730
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 4: That's amazing, man.

1731
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,600
Speaker 1: But it shows, and I keep up with all of it.

1732
01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: It shows, whether it be production, whether it be whether

1733
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 1: it be dripped, whether that's staging, whether it be lighting.

1734
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm in tune with all of it.

1735
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 5: But that's also a common thread that I find amongst

1736
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:15,600
Speaker 5: a lot of the greats is you don't feel like

1737
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 5: you're done learning, Like you stay learning. I feel like

1738
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 5: the ones who are great and absolutely able to keep doing,

1739
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 5: they stay learning. I feel like, whether that's surrounding yourself

1740
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 5: with people I don't even want to say younger, but

1741
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,320
Speaker 5: just like that, do something that you don't that you

1742
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 5: don't necessarily do.

1743
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,480
Speaker 1: Is it a younger thing or somebody who's active.

1744
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 4: Active, Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, facts.

1745
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,720
Speaker 5: Facts, And then that's the beauty in it, to be

1746
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 5: able to look at somebody that does something totally different

1747
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 5: than the approach on it is different than your approach,

1748
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 5: but then you're able to take that and say, like, look, bro,

1749
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 5: I remember the first time I worked with King with

1750
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:57,560
Speaker 5: Babyface and I'm like, we're writing a song and I'm like,

1751
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:00,679
Speaker 5: he's like, yeah that and I'm I'm like you sure,

1752
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 5: and he's like yeah.

1753
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:04,280
Speaker 4: I'm like nah, I like what you said. He's like, no,

1754
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,439
Speaker 4: that's it. I'm like all right.

1755
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 5: So then we finished writing there and I'm thinking he's

1756
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 5: about to go in the booth and sing the song.

1757
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 4: He's like, okay, going in the boot to it.

1758
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 3: I said, excuse me, I said, you're not bruh. I

1759
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 3: was like, oh shoot, I'm.

1760
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 1: Just I'm expecting him to go and he's inspired. He's

1761
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: like right.

1762
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 5: It was the most insane, absolutely in saying. But that's

1763
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:32,600
Speaker 5: why I feel like he's has been able to do

1764
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 5: it for so long too, you.

01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 5: I walked and rested away to my apartment, and so,

1997
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 5: funny enough, I'm working with the same artists. A few

1998
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 5: months back, and I tell him the story. I'm like, bro,

1999
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 5: do you know when we were working we were first working,

2000
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 5: like and I told him the story, and his dad

2001
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 5: was out with us, out at dinner with us.

2002
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: And his dad.

2003
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 4: His dad was a big manager. To his dad said,

2004
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 4: why didn't you.

2005
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 3: Just ask for a ride? I had an office in

2006
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:45,800
Speaker 3: hensn Why didn't you just have a ride? I said,

2007
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:47,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't.

2008
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 4: About to ask y'all for no rides, or I said,

2009
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 4: I said, and honestly, you know what, if I do

2010
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 4: it all over.

2011
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,719
Speaker 5: Again, I probably still wouldn't ask for a ride because

2012
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 5: because I just the perception for me was I was

2013
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 5: bigger than than than my pride, you know what I mean.

2014
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,400
Speaker 4: So I was just like or the same way, the

2015
01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:05,360
Speaker 4: same as my pride, I guess.

2016
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 5: But I was like, yeah, I said, I said, if

2017
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,599
Speaker 5: I do it all again, I probably still wouldn't ask

2018
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 5: for a ride because I wanted to.

2019
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 4: I wanted you to just look at me as I'm

2020
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 4: you know, I'm here for this, and you know what

2021
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 4: I mean.

2022
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:17,439
