0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 5>off to.

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.599
<v Speaker 4>Artists that like it's nothing like you can get like

<v Speaker 5>a light switch, you can just turn it off. But

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 5>that was how it was, man. I just I would

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 5>be able to turn it off. And then my dad

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 5>he played the organ. It's funny because he'll call me

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 5>now I've been getting ready go on sessions.

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.559
<v Speaker 4>He'd be like, who you work with today?

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 5>I work with such such they play the organ, Dad,

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 5>not in every session. You know, they're not playing organs

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 5>in the sessions, but uh, you know, depending on what

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 5>the vibe is for today. You know what I'm saying.

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 5>He looks for the organ. But he played the organ,

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 5>and he used to try to get me to play

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 5>the organ. I would sit up there. I got a

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 5>twin brother, both of us. He tried to get us up.

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 4>I had me sit right next to him on the organ,

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 4>and I just would be like, dog, I'd rather be

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 4>doing with everybody else doing right now. And then I

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 4>took Suzuki piano training.

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>What is that, bruh.

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 5>One of the most intense piano trainings. Uh, not necessarily

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 5>just piano. I believe violin like there's different forms of it,

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 5>but it's a Japanese style of piano, and I absolutely

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 5>hated it. I used to have to practice every single day.

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 5>I say, I grew up in the house where you

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 5>couldn't watch TV through the week. It was like, oh,

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 5>you want to watch Martin tape it? You watch it Saturday.

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>It was I had no TV all week, but I

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>did have it.

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 4>I didn't have a TV in my room.

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Pentecosta, That's what that is.

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 7>You want to know what though, Wait, what's crazy?

<v Speaker 4>for my dad.

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 5>If it was my mom, probably if it was my dad,

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 5>it was probably like, no, nigga, you need to practice

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 5>and that's all.

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.200

<v Speaker 4>Not for this?

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 3>No, because I don't even know. I think it had more.

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 4>To do with discipline.

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:15.760

<v Speaker 1>couldn't shake like I heard. I heard the chords and

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 1>and notes together and and it would it would do

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.120
<v Speaker 1>something to my soul as a kid, as a five

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 1>year old kid. And I gotta learn it so that

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.280

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>was like it was like a feeling. And you know,

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I always tell people when I heard Charlie Brown's Christmas,

<v Speaker 1>I need it. Wow, just different wow. And I and

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I chased it until until it sounded like what I heard. Wow,

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>added many fingers I could add. And I just sit

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 1>at my grandma on my grandmother's piano.

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Just yeah.

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had all day, all night.

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 5>I wish I had that I wonder if I didn't

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 5>have it because I was forced to board with you.

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Know what, force is tougher, you know what I mean?

0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Because I but do you feel like because I come

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 5>from the forest, right, but do you feel like it

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 5>was the same?

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying, Like I don't want to

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 4>do it?

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>No, It's so funny.

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 6>I think that's why he and I have such good

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 6>chemistry because we come from two different sides of music

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 6>of coming into music, you know what I mean. Like, ultimately,

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 6>my dad, even though he was a street guy, he

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 6>was so engulfed in loving music that he was like,

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 6>my kids have to do music. Wow, this is the

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.160
<v Speaker 6>way out. This is all of these things. So even

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:19.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, we go back and forth and we laugh

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 6>a lot about I'm like, bro, you're a music nerd, right,

0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 6>And it's funny because I've almost ran away from being

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.639
<v Speaker 6>a music nerd because he'd.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 3>Be like, well, nigga, you know that you gifted and

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:32.720
<v Speaker 3>you know that.

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, I don't, No, I don't know.

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Just one day I could see.

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:47.800
<v Speaker 6>But it's because, like you're saying, being forced to practice, dude,

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 6>this instead of discovering it, like his is pure discovery.

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Discovery, you know, his is pure discovery. So it's only

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the joy of it.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:01.440
<v Speaker 6>I'm looking at the whole block outside and my family

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 6>can't go outside, and all he's doing is doing this step.

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Side over outside outside with my kids.

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.359

<v Speaker 4>was what it was.

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 5>So growing up, we're singing, and I mean I think

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 5>we might have been eleven when we started, ten eleven

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 5>somewhere around there, and so we're singing a lot of

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 5>like of course, uh like you know, we were singing

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:23.639
<v Speaker 5>Minis standard of course. Yeah, him was our goal to

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 5>so we were singing some Minis Standard commission of course.

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 5>But around fourteen, I find out that my cousin Titus

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 5>with some of the other songs that we were singing.

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 5>I find it and I'm thinking at the time that

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 5>these are just songs that are out, and then I find

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:48.239
<v Speaker 5>out these songs that he wrote. Yeah, I'm like, like

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 5>what like? And then he showed me that we had

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 5>either thirteen or fourteen. He showed me like how to

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 5>write songs, and that was how that was how it started.

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 5>And then we just I stuck with him those next

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 5>couple of years, like we would go through the middle school,

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 5>high school, and then.

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Writing songs for the group. And that was how we

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 4>got into I'm telling you nice though, like nice, real nice.

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So where y'all performing? I just going from church to church.

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 4>The whole city.

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like any like churches, festivals around the city, like

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 5>they were calling us to come sing at all of those.

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 5>But even before the group though, like as a kid,

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 5>so my dad played as I mentioned, and he.

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Were liked his little father son dudo.

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 5>Man, we ended up I'd be singing that stuff throughout

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 5>the city, like different functions. They'd be having different fundraisers.

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 5>It'd be him on the keys, me singing, and.

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was that was really where like that wasn't

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>taking Jermaine with.

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 5>Your Jermaine wasn't that none of the latest performances at all. No,

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:58.919
<v Speaker 5>he was wherever he was. Yeah, he didn't have no

0:25:58.960 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 5>part of that.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm cool Jermaine. Jermaine wanted to.

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 5>I think as we got older, Jermaine got the bug

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:11.959
<v Speaker 5>for music. But yeah, it never uh it never stuck

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 5>with him, you know what I mean. He was also

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 5>like more in like the finding. He ended up going

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 5>to getting his degree in like financing economics and that

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 5>and that kind of thing whatever.

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 4>But he's Jermaine Sings. It's still to this day singing

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 4>a church every Sunday, praising wordship to this day right now,

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 4>next Sunday he's up on the stage guaranteed.

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 5>So it would be my dad and I going around

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 5>seeing all these I don't even know how he's booking

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:43.400
<v Speaker 5>these these gigs like all around the city, and I would, yeah,

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 5>we would go out there and show up and sing

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 5>a couple, a couple of number numbers and and do

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 5>our things.

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 4>But I was again like I never growing up.

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 3>I never was like.

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:01.919
<v Speaker 5>Comfortable, like just like like super comfortable, like singing in

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:05.199
<v Speaker 5>front of people like that. But for some reason I

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:07.919
<v Speaker 5>was able to always flip it off and do what

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 5>I need to do, and that actually carried over into

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 5>getting into the industry. I would be able to turn

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 5>off whatever the nervous switch is.

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:26.120
<v Speaker 4>And not and not making the moment bigger than.

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 5>Than what I was there to do, you know what

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean, Like I somehow I was able to always

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 5>do that, so it carried over all the way through.

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 4>But I've never just been like you know, like I

<v Speaker 5>successful artist, I think you have to enjoy what you

<v Speaker 5>with being an artist that at the end of the day,

0:27:57.800 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 5>it has you have to love what you do. It's

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.400
<v Speaker 5>got to come back down to the love. I love

<v Speaker 5>what you know what. I hate this, that, that, and that,

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 5>But I love getting up and singing and performing and

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.360
<v Speaker 5>doing what I do. I think it all comes back.

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 6>That's why I only sing sometimes, bro, But because for me,

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't get the same I don't get the same

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:20.199
<v Speaker 6>joy out of it.

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 1>That tanked up.

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I understand.

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 6>I see it up close with him because you know,

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:30.120
<v Speaker 6>we've we've taken this ride together to where we'll be

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 6>dealing with all the foolishness to business, all this stuff.

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 6>And I can see him and I'm like, all right,

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 6>it's weighing on him a little. And then as soon

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 6>as he's walking towards the stage, he don't care about nothing.

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>That we with, the switches flip and I'm still like,

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I want killing and you want me to come.

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Out and say you want me to trying to tie.

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Wait, let me ask you, do you feel like, that's

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 4>something you're born with.

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Though, what's that?

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 5>That what he was just saying about you? The ability,

0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 5>like the I don't know if it's the love for

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 5>it or whatever. I think you're born with it. I

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 5>don't think it's something you can teach. I don't think

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 5>it's something you can learn. I think it's something that's

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 5>innately in you.

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I think you're born with it. It just depends on

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>how you how that space is defined for you, Like

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>for me, that space is untouchable for anything, for anybody.

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>That is my space.

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Was it always that way?

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Did you always look at it that way?

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>No? I was always happy in it. Yeah, but I

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't know how to define it or what it was,

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>or even how to protect it. For that matter, I

0:29:56.480 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 1>get it. And so for me, once I learned that, man,

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>when I'm up here, nothing else matters and learned I

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>learned it from a crazy place, from being on stage,

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 1>being extremely happy, being extremely fulfilled, and being extremely broke.

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Huh broke, uh divorced, all of that and none of

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that mattering that moment. Okay, and this is when you're

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 1>singing background, are are you? This is when I'm doing

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>just you know, a little random shows, keep the lights on.

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm Tank. Okay, Okay, I'm Tank. You know

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I got maybe I deserve, I got

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 1>one man out and yeah, and I'm trying to I'm

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out where the happy is that I

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 1>can all where I can always get there. And I

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:58.880
<v Speaker 1>realized that in music on stage in that studio, nothing

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>nothing else fuck matter. Wow, Like okay, wow, okay, Because

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>because I had allowed the stress, the stresses of life

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to weigh me down so crazy to where it affected everything.

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And then one day consciously I said, I'll never do

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that again. I'll never let anything disrupt the gift, disrupt

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the space that the gift lives in. And so it

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't always like that.

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I had to adopt that that's amazing.

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's amazing.

0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 1>And I was through the fire and know what I'm saying.

0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:37.479
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, it's all we got to go

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>through all this ship just to get on the stage.

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy when that mother fucking music come on. When

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 1>we get them push up here and we pumped that

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 1>chest because you know they want to see it, put

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 1>them in ears in and were taking that walk. It's

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a different thing.

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 3>It's a whole different different beings.

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 6>No, I I listen, but that's not something you wanted. No, Nah,

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:06.360
<v Speaker 6>I didn't.

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 4>I didn't and and I didn't notice like writing song

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 4>professionally like was even a thing, you know what I mean,

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Like we were doing that just out of shure, like

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 4>sheer we I love, like this is dope.

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 6>Like so you were because being from a place like

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.840
<v Speaker 6>Kansas City where so rich in music, you guys had

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 6>so many talented people come out of Kansas City, come

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 6>out of Kansas and Kansas and miss both sides, Missouri

0:32:33.400 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 6>and Kansas.

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 1>And even even though someone like.

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 6>Olivia Harris a Damon Thomas who were a generation before

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 6>you were you guys watching that.

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:46.600
<v Speaker 4>I never knew anything about any of that.

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Now, never did. And it might be just because I

0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 5>was so like in like the church, Lane, So it

0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 5>might be because of that. Now I say in the

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 5>church like, but I did, like one of the things

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 5>was like like I grew up in the church. But

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 5>I also it wasn't like I could I could also listen.

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>To the secular secular music on weekends.

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Saturday, go ahead.

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Striking it. Nobody said none of us.

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Entertainment, the timing was intable. I'll tell you that much.

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:32.800
<v Speaker 3>I could listen to the song.

0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 6>Now he's having to remember, like the song, like the song.

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I can't watch the TV, but I can listen.

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 5>I can listen to I can listen to the songs.

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.400
<v Speaker 5>But it wasn't it wasn't of course, nothing like with

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 5>No cousin or nothing like that.

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 4>But R and B for sure.

0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, for sure, my mom, I only knew the ready

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>versions to n w A and I would wrap them

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 1>at school and they would laugh at me. The radio

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>A young I can't wait to have.

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 6>You to rap along with it, Oh my god on

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:30.719
<v Speaker 6>the podcast and wrap with te like I'll wrap with

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:31.160
<v Speaker 6>war G.

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy. The radio version is crazy. But I could.

0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 3>I could.

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 4>My mom she was, she was the gospel listener.

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 5>But my dad and so my dad, that's really where

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 5>I got like it was such a diverse listening palette.

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:53.960
<v Speaker 4>So it was all the R and B.

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 5>But then my dad also I would listen to be

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 5>Michael McDonald and and Bobby called Well and like Steely

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 5>Dan and then to be a whole which I mean,

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 5>that's a whole other thing. But because they learned from yeah, yeah,

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.759
<v Speaker 5>so you know what I'm saying, but that was where

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:22.400
<v Speaker 5>I learned all that, and and I never associated a

0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 5>skin type with any of that music. And so for me,

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.799
<v Speaker 5>I always thought, like growing up, I thought Mike McDonald's black,

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:31.400
<v Speaker 5>Bobby Carwell.

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Was black listening to those voices, and then as you

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 4>get it's like, m h wait what but I like, I.

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Just I just started reading Michael McDonald's biography and he

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 5>talks about like his whole influence it was was brothers, buh,

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:57.640
<v Speaker 5>like the whole his and he's not, you know, ashamed.

0:35:57.440 --> 0:35:59.399
<v Speaker 4>About it, like he's like, oh yeah, like I.

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 5>Was listening to this day and so so yeah, so

0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 5>for my dad that was where like everything it would

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 5>be like Chris Cross, like that was where I got

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 5>onto Christ like everything.

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:14.120
<v Speaker 4>He listened to it all and so a lot of

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.759
<v Speaker 4>that early on was just.

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Kind of like poured into me essentially creatively as well,

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 5>and I didn't probably recognize it then, but yeah, singing

0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 5>literally that was something from five I would perform with

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 5>him through the city until I was probably thirteen, fourteen

0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:39.240
<v Speaker 5>fifteen somewhere around there when I quit this zookie piano.

0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, that was where it all started.

0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:44.640

<v Speaker 5>until everybody went off to college and did there did

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:01.560

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:05.360
<v Speaker 5>like I didn't know anything about like writing for people

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:06.680

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 1>And when does the light bulb go off? Is there

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:32.839
<v Speaker 1>is there somebody who from an actual music business standpoint

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that takes some notice or you end up in a

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:39.319
<v Speaker 1>room somewhere and people hear some things and like hey

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:40.319
<v Speaker 1>you know that, No.

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.480
<v Speaker 5>That was that was a ways down the line. Honestly,

0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 5>so Titus. It actually Test moved Titus.

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 4>And Brian moved out here around Uh. They moved out

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:50.279
<v Speaker 4>here not.

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:52.879
<v Speaker 5>Too long after after high school, like right after high

0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 5>school moved out. But Titus moved out and I went

0:40:58.080 --> 0:40:59.800
<v Speaker 5>off to college. I think Titus went to college for

0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:04.560
<v Speaker 5>a year, but he he uh, he came out here

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:06.960
<v Speaker 5>and uh he had an older brother that was already

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:10.120
<v Speaker 5>out here who was at a gospel group at the

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 5>time too, And so Titus had moved out here.

0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:15.280
<v Speaker 3>First, I was in college.

0:41:15.440 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 4>I actually was playing football and so I was a

0:41:19.040 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 4>safety and so I played. Actually, my focus was.

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:26.600
<v Speaker 5>On football when I graduated, My focus was on football.

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 5>We would I mean we would still do we would

<v Speaker 5>breaks or something like that.

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>But but I was.

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Focused on football.

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:43.400

<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't hear none of that. Yeah, I wouldn't hear

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:36.440
<v Speaker 5>any of that. I was headed to the NFL Europe

0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:39.520
<v Speaker 5>and so I was doing trial to get try. I

0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:42.479
<v Speaker 5>never made a team though, I never made an actual team,

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 5>so I didn't make the chief.

0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 1>What was your forty four four one was moving four for.

0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:48.960
<v Speaker 5>One, So I got when I got driveted to the

0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:52.399
<v Speaker 5>NFL Europe, I got moved from safety to running back

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:56.880
<v Speaker 5>because I was like two thirty five too, that was

0:43:56.880 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 5>a big safety.

0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so they were like, yeah, we're gonna go ahead

0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:01.920
<v Speaker 4>and running back. So I got moved to running back.

0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 4>But so what's where I felt Where I felt the pool,

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:11.640
<v Speaker 4>where I felt the cause Again. This whole time, I'm

0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:14.680
<v Speaker 4>still writing and so I'm still were still doing music

0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:21.960
<v Speaker 4>and I'm writing songs. This was like two thousand and eight,

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:26.399
<v Speaker 4>I think, somewhere around there. And so this was where

0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:28.239
<v Speaker 4>when I started.

0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:31.600
<v Speaker 5>See the two thousand and eight Yeah, I'd be like, okay,

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 5>Titus was out here. And then I started like realizing

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 5>and learning about like writing for other people that you

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:41.319
<v Speaker 5>could write for other people. Yeah, and this is why

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm in training camp. And while I'm like trying out still.

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:48.440
<v Speaker 5>So when I was supposed to be studying my playbook, man,

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:49.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm writing songs.

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:50.840
<v Speaker 4>So I'll never forget.

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:55.440
<v Speaker 5>I was in training camp in Tampa, in my roommate

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:58.719
<v Speaker 5>doing training camp, he studying his playbook.

0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:02.320
<v Speaker 4>He hear me write, and so I'm saying, man, what

0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 4>you uh? What's that was just some songs, right, like

0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 4>you writing songs. It's like yeah, He's like it sings.

0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.040
<v Speaker 5>Some more that sounds crazy, like let me hear some one.

0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:15.759
<v Speaker 5>So uh, I'm doing that. I'm doing that the whole time.

0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 5>And then I would go back to like studying my playlis.

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 5>But I could feel the music pulling me harder at

0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 5>that Around this time, I started feeling the music pulling

0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:28.640
<v Speaker 5>me harder than football was, which was crazy because it

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:29.960
<v Speaker 5>had always been football.

0:45:31.440 --> 0:45:33.120
<v Speaker 4>That was it, that was the only that was that

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:35.880
<v Speaker 4>was my only focus. But I started really.

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Feeling it pulling me.

0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:41.799
<v Speaker 5>And and I remember because some guys man like when

0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.560
<v Speaker 5>you when you've done that, whether it's football, basketball, anything,

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:47.960
<v Speaker 5>if you've done something your whole life from a kid

0:45:48.080 --> 0:45:48.840
<v Speaker 5>or from middle.

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.320
<v Speaker 4>School, and then all of a sudden, one day is

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 4>cut off and you can no longer.

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 5>So it's like some of the people play in the

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 5>NBA or NFL, It's like, all right, you done, Like

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:01.319
<v Speaker 5>you all of a sudden can't get picked up by

0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:03.440
<v Speaker 5>a team, So now what do you do with the

0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:04.240
<v Speaker 5>rest of your life?

0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 3>You've done this one thing for so long. Now it's like,

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:09.360
<v Speaker 3>what else are you gonna do? So I've had I know.

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:12.920
<v Speaker 5>People that like struggled with it and had to like

0:46:13.080 --> 0:46:16.360
<v Speaker 5>actually get help to like to deal with the mental

0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.640
<v Speaker 5>the mental aspect of that, like, Okay, how do I

0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:22.799
<v Speaker 5>how do I just all of a sudden forget about

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:24.440
<v Speaker 5>what I've been doing and find something else to do

0:46:24.560 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 5>with my life? Thankfully, thank God, like I did not

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:31.360
<v Speaker 5>go through that, because again, like I felt the music

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:33.320
<v Speaker 5>starting to pull me a little tugging on me a

0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 5>little bit harder than the football.

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 3>And so.

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:42.640
<v Speaker 5>When I got cut the last time, when I got

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:46.319
<v Speaker 5>cut from the team, I remember saying to.

0:46:46.320 --> 0:46:48.319
<v Speaker 4>Myself, I'm done.

0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:51.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm done with I'm not, I'm not, I won't do

0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:54.239
<v Speaker 5>any more trials, no, nothing like, and then they try

0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:57.800
<v Speaker 5>to I got a call to the Frankfurt Galaxy of

0:46:57.840 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 5>the NFL European League.

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.400
<v Speaker 4>They wanted me to come come out like mid.

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Season, and I was like, and how old are you

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 1>at this point?

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh twenty.

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Two?

0:47:11.160 --> 0:47:13.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, twenty two, I think something like that.

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:15.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so so.

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:18.680
<v Speaker 5>But I but I knew because again at this point,

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:22.040
<v Speaker 5>Titus was sending me tracks, like because we weren't in

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:24.200
<v Speaker 5>the same city, he was just sending me the tracks,

0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:27.399
<v Speaker 5>and I write to the tracks, and and I'm trying

0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 5>to think if Brian was sending me tracks at this time.

0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:32.239
<v Speaker 5>I might have been getting tracks from Brian around this time.

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:38.560
<v Speaker 4>But I remember being like, yeah, I'm done, Like, let

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:41.560
<v Speaker 4>me figure out how to do this music thing, like,

0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:44.440
<v Speaker 4>let me just figure this out. So I ended up

0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:47.840
<v Speaker 4>moving back to k C. I moved back to k

0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:54.080
<v Speaker 4>C for a five minute, and I was because I

0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:57.040
<v Speaker 4>was still unsure, I like about the whole music thing,

0:47:57.120 --> 0:47:59.600
<v Speaker 4>like as far as like, how do you do music?

0:47:59.600 --> 0:47:59.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean?

0:48:01.160 --> 0:48:03.360
<v Speaker 5>So what I was gonna do because my dad was

0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:05.720
<v Speaker 5>a dentist as well. I ain't seen he was a dentist.

0:48:08.040 --> 0:48:11.200
<v Speaker 5>He said, wait, nigga, what he was a dentist?

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, I love it.

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I love it. He was a dentist.

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:18.799
<v Speaker 4>And so I came back home and then I went

0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 4>to finish school, finished college. So I was like, maybe

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.800
<v Speaker 4>I'll go maybe I'll go be a dentist. So I

0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:31.040
<v Speaker 4>started taking courses. Bro, I'll never forget I took. This

0:48:31.160 --> 0:48:33.040
<v Speaker 4>is what actually made me be like, you know what, No,

0:48:33.239 --> 0:48:34.920
<v Speaker 4>it's not the dentist thing for me. Man.

0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:45.280
<v Speaker 5>I took finite mathematics and calculus, and Bro, finite mathematics

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 5>and calculus, and I passed with a C. And you

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 5>could not have told me it wasn't an A. I

0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:52.719

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:53.160
<v Speaker 5>got a C.

0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:55.759
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, yeah, I probably don't need to

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

0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:03.400

<v Speaker 1>Though you didn't fail, I.

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:19.520
<v Speaker 4>Didn't feel but Bro, that's he felt like as hard

0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 4>as I study for it, I was like, yeah, that

0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:24.359
<v Speaker 4>took a lot. We're gonna we're gonna go ahead, stop

<v Speaker 3>You can let me out right here.

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:29.320
<v Speaker 6>So it's it's tight as playing the records for people.

0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:31.279
<v Speaker 6>Do you even know if that's happening.

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:36.319
<v Speaker 4>That A little bit after that, A little bit after

0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:41.160
<v Speaker 4>that around that had to be like maybe nine nine,

0:49:41.360 --> 0:49:42.879
<v Speaker 4>I think it was when it was, because that's when

0:49:42.960 --> 0:49:47.720
<v Speaker 4>I was like, all right, I'm not doing domble school.

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:50.360
<v Speaker 4>Let me like really figure out this music.

0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:54.360
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, Titus and Brian because I was writing to

0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:55.920
<v Speaker 5>Brian's tracks at this time too.

0:49:56.480 --> 0:49:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Because Titus and.

0:49:57.200 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 5>Brian when you're in a band together, you remember, they

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:03.239
<v Speaker 5>had a band, the live stuff, and they started but

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:05.759
<v Speaker 5>they started that in KC. So they would like play

0:50:05.800 --> 0:50:08.719
<v Speaker 5>it all the like all the spots around k C.

0:50:09.080 --> 0:50:10.840
<v Speaker 5>And then I would come out and like singing some

0:50:10.960 --> 0:50:14.120
<v Speaker 5>of the joints around the city or whatever. But they

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:17.400
<v Speaker 5>were like, you know, I was like, oh yeah, my

0:50:17.480 --> 0:50:19.400
<v Speaker 5>dad was like they out there doing they doing anything,

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:22.040
<v Speaker 5>doing their music. But I didn't as far as I knew,

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:26.000
<v Speaker 5>I thought they were out here like gigging, like like

0:50:26.160 --> 0:50:26.680
<v Speaker 5>just playing for.

0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh you didn't know that they I thought it was

0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:29.680
<v Speaker 3>like placing records.

0:50:29.680 --> 0:50:30.799
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was like playing for people.

0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know what placing records was, and I quickly

0:50:34.160 --> 0:50:36.960
<v Speaker 5>learned because because Brian like landed something, I think I

0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:42.160
<v Speaker 5>gonna see Era and then and then it was Disturbia.

0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Forever for Chris Brown, and then like it was like off.

0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:50.040
<v Speaker 5>And so, yeah, we were doing songs. I was just

0:50:50.160 --> 0:50:52.759
<v Speaker 5>I was sending them joints back and forth. And then

0:50:53.400 --> 0:50:59.320
<v Speaker 5>I visited out here for the first time. What's that

0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:01.239
<v Speaker 5>the first Yeah, it was the first time. My other

0:51:01.320 --> 0:51:03.759
<v Speaker 5>cousin and I we visited out here, and then we

0:51:03.880 --> 0:51:07.240
<v Speaker 5>were just like doing records, doing songs in the studio

0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:09.160
<v Speaker 5>out here. So my first time ever in like an

0:51:09.200 --> 0:51:14.120
<v Speaker 5>actual like studio studio, which was dope.

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I still remember.

0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:17.960
<v Speaker 5>It was off of uh, off of this is the

0:51:18.000 --> 0:51:20.400
<v Speaker 5>Lancashim or Violent. It was like a little almost like

0:51:20.440 --> 0:51:23.880
<v Speaker 5>a hole in the wall type joint too, though, like

0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:26.040
<v Speaker 5>right by that you remember that, like it used to

0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:30.120
<v Speaker 5>be like a KFC and a Blockbuster, like right everywhere

0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:30.400
<v Speaker 5>and what.

0:51:30.480 --> 0:51:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like a weird little where violin intersect intersect.

0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:36.520
<v Speaker 5>It was right over the studios, right over there, and

0:51:36.600 --> 0:51:38.279
<v Speaker 5>I remember walking in that studio because it was more

0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:42.399
<v Speaker 5>like a little like apartment turned studio. And I remember like, oh,

0:51:42.520 --> 0:51:45.239
<v Speaker 5>so this is a studio. This don't look like the

0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:48.960
<v Speaker 5>This don't look like the studios. It don't look like

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:49.600
<v Speaker 5>the pictures.

0:51:50.160 --> 0:51:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Like that might have gave me the wrong pamphlet.

0:51:56.719 --> 0:52:00.360
<v Speaker 3>At the right place, y'all might get wrong amphlet.

0:52:01.200 --> 0:52:04.960
<v Speaker 5>But we broly locked in and then I went back

0:52:04.960 --> 0:52:08.680
<v Speaker 5>to KC for a second and then uh, and then

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 5>we ended up doing a deal with Brian and that's

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:17.400
<v Speaker 5>what that's what made the like move official. Actually, it

0:52:17.480 --> 0:52:19.800
<v Speaker 5>was crazy. I moved out here without knowing that I

0:52:19.880 --> 0:52:22.440
<v Speaker 5>actually was moving out here full time like that. I'm

0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:25.040
<v Speaker 5>just just like I came out and never went back.

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:26.959
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of how it goes.

0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah really, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:33.560
<v Speaker 4>I still remember my pop's telling me what this was like. Later,

0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:34.600
<v Speaker 4>my pop's telling.

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Me, I didn't even know you had moved, Like I

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:41.680
<v Speaker 5>thought you just but I didn't even know you had moved.

0:52:41.680 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 5>I was like, yeah, me either.

0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:45.200
<v Speaker 6>I didn't tell nobody I was moving. Really, I came

0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:49.319
<v Speaker 6>to l A and I just didn't go back. Wow, damn,

0:52:50.080 --> 0:52:52.239
<v Speaker 6>that's exactly you know what I'm going to figure it out.

0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:56.200
<v Speaker 6>That's exactly how I was on this floor. Yeah, I'm

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:59.680
<v Speaker 6>gonna stay at the studio. It's just my mindset at

0:52:59.719 --> 0:53:02.719
<v Speaker 6>that time, being a young guy that just yeah, was

0:53:02.800 --> 0:53:06.279
<v Speaker 6>looking to fulfill my dream. It was never like oh

0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:08.759
<v Speaker 6>yeah yeah. And then we got the moving yeah yeah, yeah.

0:53:08.920 --> 0:53:11.919
<v Speaker 6>I didn't have no friendis shure, he no moving drug.

0:53:12.000 --> 0:53:14.040
<v Speaker 3>It was me in my clothes. Dang.

0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:16.279
<v Speaker 1>So you so when you say you did a deal,

0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:17.640
<v Speaker 1>so you.

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Signed publishing deal, you tried to publishing deal with Brian, with.

0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:25.480
<v Speaker 5>Brian Uh, Titus, Caleb, Uh, my cousin Caleb, who was

0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:26.440
<v Speaker 5>also in a to J.

0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:29.880
<v Speaker 4>All three of us, we all ended up. We all

0:53:29.960 --> 0:53:33.360
<v Speaker 4>signed a deal with Brian at the time, a publishing

0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:39.080
<v Speaker 4>deal at the time. And that's what like made the

0:53:39.160 --> 0:53:43.759
<v Speaker 4>whole move like official, official official. But yeah again, like

0:53:45.440 --> 0:53:47.440
<v Speaker 4>I came out here just thinking we're about these songs.

0:53:47.480 --> 0:53:50.640
<v Speaker 6>But then like it was like, oh now he would

0:53:50.719 --> 0:53:55.440
<v Speaker 6>talk you up so crazy, Brian, what man, man, oh

0:53:55.480 --> 0:53:58.640
<v Speaker 6>you got your dayne Browne bro got here doing like

0:53:58.719 --> 0:53:59.840
<v Speaker 6>he just constantly.

0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:02.799
<v Speaker 5>I still remember the first track that the first song

0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:05.160
<v Speaker 5>we did together, like I wouldn't I hadn't even thought

0:54:05.160 --> 0:54:06.920
<v Speaker 5>about moving out here. He was out here because this

0:54:07.040 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 5>was I think after his Sea era, but it was

0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 5>I think it was before forever and disturbing.

0:54:14.760 --> 0:54:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I still remember that.

0:54:15.800 --> 0:54:16.279
<v Speaker 1>It was the.

0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:23.560
<v Speaker 5>The level of production compared to like other people I

0:54:23.600 --> 0:54:25.840
<v Speaker 5>would work with, like in Casey or like.

0:54:26.920 --> 0:54:28.880
<v Speaker 3>It was just different.

0:54:30.400 --> 0:54:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Bros. He talks about that all the time. As far

0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:37.359
<v Speaker 1>as just having local ears.

0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:45.399
<v Speaker 6>Me, it's a thing, sure, having local, It's absolutely a thing.

0:54:45.960 --> 0:54:46.560
<v Speaker 3>It's a thing.

0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Man. You don't realize.

0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:50.360
<v Speaker 3>You don't even realize, not even your fault and so what.

0:54:50.640 --> 0:54:53.640
<v Speaker 4>But before I jumped ahead a little bit before, actually

0:54:53.800 --> 0:54:54.919
<v Speaker 4>before Caleb.

0:54:54.600 --> 0:54:58.520
<v Speaker 5>And I moved out here, we were doing so we

0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:00.560
<v Speaker 5>were writing it. When we were writing some was in KC.

0:55:01.120 --> 0:55:03.200
<v Speaker 5>We were writing him in a bathroom that we turned

0:55:03.239 --> 0:55:04.040
<v Speaker 5>into a studio.

0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:10.279
<v Speaker 4>He had a townhouse and we converted the bathroom. We

0:55:10.400 --> 0:55:13.440
<v Speaker 4>had like a little styrofoam little joints had it up

0:55:13.480 --> 0:55:14.759
<v Speaker 4>the bathroom and that was.

0:55:16.239 --> 0:55:17.160
<v Speaker 3>And that was the move.

0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:17.959
<v Speaker 4>That was the booth.

0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:21.200
<v Speaker 5>We slided slid the microphone in there and then and

0:55:21.280 --> 0:55:26.600
<v Speaker 5>then taught ourselves how to engineer, how to cut the vocals,

0:55:28.360 --> 0:55:28.840
<v Speaker 5>to do all that.

0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:34.719
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy, like he gotta you start figuring out

0:55:34.760 --> 0:55:38.120
<v Speaker 3>your whatever. However, whatever he sets up for you is

0:55:38.200 --> 0:55:39.800
<v Speaker 3>your way is to push record.

0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:40.480
<v Speaker 4>I want to say.

0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:43.279
<v Speaker 5>We started in like fruity loops or something like that though,

0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:47.520
<v Speaker 5>which was crazy, and then and then and then started

0:55:47.560 --> 0:55:51.360
<v Speaker 5>he was really like becoming the engineer, you know what

0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:52.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean, for real, for real.

0:55:52.600 --> 0:55:54.239
<v Speaker 4>And then he was just like it got to.

0:55:54.239 --> 0:55:56.440
<v Speaker 5>A point where he was just like cut me, cut

0:55:56.480 --> 0:56:00.399
<v Speaker 5>my vocals. And then I would yeah, like the ha them.

0:56:00.320 --> 0:56:01.800
<v Speaker 4>That's where all that's where all that started.

0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:06.359
<v Speaker 5>But it was, yeah, I remember when when we when

0:56:06.440 --> 0:56:08.960
<v Speaker 5>Brian's track started really like coming through like that.

0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:13.759
<v Speaker 4>It would be like, why do you joint sound like

0:56:13.840 --> 0:56:16.400
<v Speaker 4>they're on the radio, like you know what I mean,

0:56:16.680 --> 0:56:17.800
<v Speaker 4>just just different.

0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:20.640
<v Speaker 6>But that was a blessing in itself though, big time

0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:24.160
<v Speaker 6>to have big time someone who already had number one

0:56:24.239 --> 0:56:26.440
<v Speaker 6>records just sending joints back.

0:56:26.360 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 1>To k C big time, that big time.

0:56:30.120 --> 0:56:34.080
<v Speaker 6>I always always really loved that about your whole crew

0:56:34.320 --> 0:56:37.640
<v Speaker 6>even and I say crew meaning that just the guys

<v Speaker 5>I never which again, like I told you and I

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:10.000

<v Speaker 5>was like out of KC.

0:57:29.120 --> 0:57:31.240
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, like you said, Damon, it's a whole.

0:57:31.360 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 6>It's a man of really really talented guys, especially in

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 6>the R and B space.

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I just as of like we did.

0:57:38.240 --> 0:57:42.840
<v Speaker 5>I spoke on a on a panel back in Kansas

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:44.960
<v Speaker 5>City like about a year and a half ago, two

0:57:45.000 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 5>years ago, and just met.

0:57:47.600 --> 0:57:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Jay White.

0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:52.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, also from there, mad cool like Mad Cole and

0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:54.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm just like, you don't even know each other about

0:57:54.520 --> 0:57:56.920
<v Speaker 5>bro No, no, m hm.

0:57:57.440 --> 0:57:58.200
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy.

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:03.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, not at all, man, but but so we yeah,

0:58:03.520 --> 0:58:05.640
<v Speaker 5>it's crazy, like so we were doing that. We would

0:58:05.680 --> 0:58:09.280
<v Speaker 5>we would send stuff back and forth. During the period

0:58:09.360 --> 0:58:11.480
<v Speaker 5>though before when Titus was still in KC.

0:58:12.400 --> 0:58:14.760
<v Speaker 4>We were working out of this studio we working out

0:58:14.800 --> 0:58:18.360
<v Speaker 4>of this guy had built a studio and he was

0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:20.360
<v Speaker 4>tired with this was at the time like where you

0:58:20.440 --> 0:58:23.400
<v Speaker 4>had to save everything on the Titus having to save

0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:24.400
<v Speaker 4>everything on the computer.

0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:26.480
<v Speaker 5>It was a trit and I think he would have

0:58:26.560 --> 0:58:29.320
<v Speaker 5>to save everything on there, all the track on there

0:58:29.400 --> 0:58:31.080
<v Speaker 5>or something like that. And I remember, like this guy

0:58:31.880 --> 0:58:35.000
<v Speaker 5>when we were using the studio, and I remember Titus

0:58:35.040 --> 0:58:35.840
<v Speaker 5>would come in and be like.

0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:40.480
<v Speaker 4>Why am I tracks being erased? How come I we

0:58:40.680 --> 0:58:41.640
<v Speaker 4>just did this last night.

0:58:41.760 --> 0:58:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Now it's not on here.

0:58:43.800 --> 0:58:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Like I think Buddy was erasing his like the tracks because.

0:58:49.560 --> 0:58:52.919
<v Speaker 5>I think they're like he wanted to do music as well,

0:58:53.040 --> 0:58:55.280
<v Speaker 5>from what I understand, like the guy wanted to do

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:58.840
<v Speaker 5>music as well. But then Titus just kind of like

0:58:59.840 --> 0:59:03.080
<v Speaker 5>was kind of like really making some leeway and he.

0:59:03.240 --> 0:59:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Was purposely a racist track.

0:59:05.040 --> 0:59:07.840
<v Speaker 4>That's kind of what what we kind of felt like

0:59:08.040 --> 0:59:08.520
<v Speaker 4>might have been.

0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I thought you was gonna say, well, he just didn't

0:59:10.240 --> 0:59:13.360
<v Speaker 3>really know, I remember we talked about it.

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:16.720
<v Speaker 4>Titus would be like, hey man, this is happening way

0:59:16.880 --> 0:59:18.680
<v Speaker 4>too much, like I don't understand what.

0:59:19.880 --> 0:59:23.080
<v Speaker 3>And then and then the ice of the cake. Prophet

0:59:23.200 --> 0:59:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Todd Hall, you know, Prophet to Hall.

0:59:26.480 --> 0:59:29.800
<v Speaker 5>He came to Kansas City one time to our church

0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:33.600
<v Speaker 5>and he prophesied, he said, and he told, he told

0:59:33.960 --> 0:59:37.480
<v Speaker 5>the guy, he said, that studio that you built, that's

0:59:37.520 --> 0:59:37.840
<v Speaker 5>not for you.

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:40.440
<v Speaker 4>That's for Titus. That's for him. He didn't know Tic

0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:42.080
<v Speaker 4>his name, but he was like, that's for him. So

0:59:42.200 --> 0:59:43.960
<v Speaker 4>then the guys come then that might have put a

0:59:44.040 --> 0:59:44.640
<v Speaker 4>little bit more.

0:59:45.040 --> 0:59:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Studio you built.

0:59:46.240 --> 0:59:47.600
<v Speaker 4>You thought it was for you, but that's for him.

0:59:48.040 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 4>So the guy's like, well, I guess I need to

0:59:49.360 --> 0:59:51.640
<v Speaker 4>give you a te key, Titus, you know what I mean.

0:59:52.240 --> 0:59:54.479
<v Speaker 5>But but for some reason, Titus was like we would

0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:55.840
<v Speaker 5>show up the next day after we were work. We

0:59:55.840 --> 0:59:58.880
<v Speaker 5>would write the stuff and show up and like the

0:59:59.000 --> 0:59:59.640
<v Speaker 5>track is gone.

1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:01.280
<v Speaker 3>That was going on.

1:00:01.560 --> 1:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it was, it was.

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:03.800
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy.

1:00:03.960 --> 1:00:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Then right after that time, it was like, you know what,

1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:09.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm about to just go ahead and get abouy there,

1:00:09.280 --> 1:00:11.120
<v Speaker 4>take it back right back to La. So then he

1:00:11.280 --> 1:00:13.439
<v Speaker 4>moved right back out here. And that from that point

1:00:13.800 --> 1:00:15.320
<v Speaker 4>right after that little after that we saw.

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>With Brian, your name, your name is is in really

1:00:19.440 --> 1:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>high standard.

1:00:21.000 --> 1:00:21.520
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you this.

1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I it really is like I've never met anybody.

1:00:24.400 --> 1:00:25.680
<v Speaker 4>It's like I think it Dawayne.

1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>You hear that about a lot of people, the majority

1:00:29.720 --> 1:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of this ship.

1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:33.000
<v Speaker 4>When you really look at it, your name is really all.

1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:36.280
<v Speaker 5>That's all, and it's it's it's almost like a credit

1:00:36.440 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 5>since either got good credit or you got bad credit.

1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:40.000
<v Speaker 3>If people hear your name and they like.

1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>But another part of that too, right, like you can

1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>be you can be very very gifted and and not

1:00:50.240 --> 1:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>check the facts the character box.

1:00:53.160 --> 1:00:54.720
<v Speaker 3>But true, very true.

1:00:55.640 --> 1:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a it's such a limited run when they

1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>finally find reason to not let you die because they

1:01:04.760 --> 1:01:09.320
<v Speaker 1>don't really want you in that ring again they're tolerating dang,

1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So the fact that you

1:01:11.280 --> 1:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>have the combination of gifting character is like, wow, why

1:01:16.080 --> 1:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you all? You all? You're always going to get the

1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>call man man, man, man, wow and and delivered like

1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>like there's that there's there's there's an art to being

1:01:25.560 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a joy to be around. Yeah, yeah, right right, there's

1:01:28.960 --> 1:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>an art to that. Man, there's an art to walking

1:01:31.840 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>into a room and being appreciative that you're there, working

1:01:35.480 --> 1:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like it and acting like it and delivering like it.

1:01:39.160 --> 1:01:43.600
<v Speaker 5>I think also too, like everybody's not a good collaborator. Ye,

1:01:43.960 --> 1:01:46.000
<v Speaker 5>so well, I mean, which is I guess it's really

1:01:46.040 --> 1:01:47.400
<v Speaker 5>what you was es sense of what you were saying.

1:01:47.440 --> 1:01:49.640
<v Speaker 5>But everybody's not a good collaborator.

1:01:49.720 --> 1:01:50.640
<v Speaker 3>So being a.

1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:55.120
<v Speaker 4>Co writer writing with if you're not just doing one

1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:57.960
<v Speaker 4>hundred percenters, you ain't printing this thing out here, you're

1:01:58.000 --> 1:02:00.280
<v Speaker 4>right with other people, you have to know.

1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:03.360
<v Speaker 5>You have to also know the personalities that you're working with.

1:02:03.560 --> 1:02:07.280
<v Speaker 5>Some personalities you have to be able. You you might

1:02:07.360 --> 1:02:09.200
<v Speaker 5>be an A type personality.

1:02:08.720 --> 1:02:08.800
<v Speaker 4>But.

1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>You have to know.

1:02:12.520 --> 1:02:15.360
<v Speaker 5>Like, there's certain people that I work with where I

1:02:15.520 --> 1:02:18.360
<v Speaker 5>know I need to let them get out whatever it

1:02:18.520 --> 1:02:19.280
<v Speaker 5>is that's up there.

1:02:19.480 --> 1:02:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I know for me, I'm not gonna lose I'm not

1:02:21.280 --> 1:02:21.760
<v Speaker 4>gonna lose it.

1:02:21.800 --> 1:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>That's there.

1:02:22.400 --> 1:02:24.640
<v Speaker 4>I know what I'm tapping into what I need having to.

1:02:25.320 --> 1:02:27.240
<v Speaker 5>There's certain people you work with where it's like if

1:02:27.240 --> 1:02:29.919
<v Speaker 5>you don't let them just get it out, they lose

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:30.520
<v Speaker 5>it and.

1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:32.520
<v Speaker 4>Then you no longer have them in the room. They're

1:02:32.600 --> 1:02:34.680
<v Speaker 4>no longer there. But they're no longer there, you know

1:02:34.720 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 4>what I mean. So to bring the best out of

1:02:37.040 --> 1:02:39.080
<v Speaker 4>who you work, you have to know the personalities that

1:02:39.120 --> 1:02:42.840
<v Speaker 4>you're working with and what brings the best out of

1:02:42.880 --> 1:02:45.560
<v Speaker 4>that person, you know what I mean. Like, I think

1:02:45.560 --> 1:02:48.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of that, A lot of that goes into.

1:02:48.440 --> 1:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>That's a skill in itself, man, that's a skill in itself.

1:02:51.280 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to listen, you have to watch, You have

1:02:53.440 --> 1:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to then you have to you have to know absolutely

1:02:57.880 --> 1:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and then like he said, and still be able to

1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>keep your thought.

1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:03.000
<v Speaker 6>Your thoughts exactly, you know what I mean, Because people

1:03:03.040 --> 1:03:05.040
<v Speaker 6>get lost in theirs too, like, oh damn, what was

1:03:05.080 --> 1:03:08.520
<v Speaker 6>I And then if you can identify that that's that

1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:10.800
<v Speaker 6>type of personality and that's the person you're like, like

1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:13.000
<v Speaker 6>you said, let them flush theirs.

1:03:12.760 --> 1:03:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Out, yeah, one one thousand per man.

1:03:16.000 --> 1:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And then you know who you can and can't work with.

1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>But and then, as we're speaking specifically to Chris Brown,

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you got to put your track shoes on. The boy

1:03:27.720 --> 1:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>is different, man, he's onto the other song sho He's different. Fast.

1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:35.200

<v Speaker 5>He was fourteen, Yeah, which is also too Like this

1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:46.960
<v Speaker 5>is I think people don't, you know, they don't take

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:52.760
<v Speaker 5>into account like fourteen years old being thrown into a

1:03:52.880 --> 1:03:55.560
<v Speaker 5>music industry where you're like, I remember him telling me

1:03:56.560 --> 1:03:58.840
<v Speaker 5>early on. I think he might have been like fifteen something,

1:03:58.880 --> 1:04:01.080
<v Speaker 5>but when he was just like send him to Atlanta

1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:03.000
<v Speaker 5>and he's working with I forget who all he was

1:04:03.000 --> 1:04:03.400
<v Speaker 5>working with it.

1:04:03.560 --> 1:04:05.760

<v Speaker 5>and some of the stuff. He's extracurriculous, as you know.

1:04:11.880 --> 1:04:14.880
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, as a fifteen year old or fourteen,

1:04:14.960 --> 1:04:18.280
<v Speaker 5>fifteen year old, like, how do you how do you

1:04:21.000 --> 1:04:23.640

<v Speaker 5>resiliency like to keep keep doing you, and not only

1:05:05.800 --> 1:05:09.680

<v Speaker 5>Chris Brown or you a Tank or Dwayne or Jay whoever,

1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:20.080

<v Speaker 5>I love it for him and and me and and

1:26:05.400 --> 1:26:07.640
<v Speaker 5>Black tex As well again like those are those are

1:26:07.680 --> 1:26:08.200
<v Speaker 5>my brothers?

1:26:08.439 --> 1:26:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? And I congratulations real quick. I'm just I just

1:26:12.280 --> 1:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to you about you, sir. You as

1:26:15.160 --> 1:26:18.479
<v Speaker 1>an artist, you as a singer. What does that look

1:26:18.600 --> 1:26:19.240
<v Speaker 1>like for you? Man?

1:26:19.320 --> 1:26:19.519
<v Speaker 3>Are you?

1:26:19.680 --> 1:26:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Are you going to? I mean it's you

1:26:23.640 --> 1:26:28.440
<v Speaker 1>know what, accidentally right, But I'm saying, do you capitalize

1:26:28.479 --> 1:26:33.280
<v Speaker 1>on that? Because you bro, you have insane musical moments

1:26:33.479 --> 1:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>as a creative and and your voice and your your

1:26:38.040 --> 1:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>your sonic and your signature. It's it's already vibrating at

1:26:42.120 --> 1:26:45.400
<v Speaker 1>a level to where you can just jump right in.

1:26:46.080 --> 1:26:49.920
<v Speaker 4>I have been thinking about like what that looks like,

1:26:50.560 --> 1:26:51.160
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean?

1:26:51.880 --> 1:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And I like the dance. The dance, you know that's

1:26:54.960 --> 1:26:55.439
<v Speaker 1>my area.

1:26:55.720 --> 1:26:58.560
<v Speaker 5>But you know what that that that is all that

1:26:59.040 --> 1:27:01.720
<v Speaker 5>all that like acts dental and it's just like but

1:27:01.840 --> 1:27:05.880
<v Speaker 5>it's been it's been amazing, especially the asscat check change,

1:27:06.240 --> 1:27:09.280
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean. But get tapping into the

1:27:09.760 --> 1:27:13.599
<v Speaker 5>We did a record last year for this artist's named

1:27:13.680 --> 1:27:16.920
<v Speaker 5>Zarl Larson on She's she's a British artist.

1:27:17.720 --> 1:27:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Uh really big British artists out there.

1:27:19.120 --> 1:27:19.479
<v Speaker 1>But we did.

1:27:19.720 --> 1:27:22.280
<v Speaker 5>We did a top top fifteen, top ten. I think

1:27:22.320 --> 1:27:24.639
<v Speaker 5>it was record for her call on on My Love

1:27:24.800 --> 1:27:30.839
<v Speaker 5>with David Ghetto last year and creating writing the record,

1:27:31.360 --> 1:27:34.080
<v Speaker 5>it was. It was one of the dopest things that

1:27:34.240 --> 1:27:38.160
<v Speaker 5>I saw from somebody like Getta. We're writing song. He

1:27:38.439 --> 1:27:40.880
<v Speaker 5>brought in the music that he wanted for the track

1:27:40.960 --> 1:27:43.880
<v Speaker 5>for and he's like, Okay, this is what I'm looking for,

1:27:44.080 --> 1:27:49.920
<v Speaker 5>so write the song. But then we attacked the verse

1:27:50.520 --> 1:27:56.080
<v Speaker 5>like from a pop angle, well, you know, a dance angle.

1:27:56.960 --> 1:28:00.040
<v Speaker 4>He comes in and he's like, no, no, no, no, no,

1:28:00.720 --> 1:28:01.479
<v Speaker 4>this is what I want.

1:28:02.439 --> 1:28:06.720
<v Speaker 5>And he plays the most soul I don't even know

1:28:07.400 --> 1:28:10.599
<v Speaker 5>if something from the like seventies, like a mother.

1:28:10.520 --> 1:28:13.240
<v Speaker 4>Voice, like oh, like super strong, like you.

1:28:13.240 --> 1:28:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Know what I mean.

1:28:14.240 --> 1:28:15.840
<v Speaker 4>And then that was the approach I took on the

1:28:15.920 --> 1:28:19.479
<v Speaker 4>verse for it for Zara. And then he comes in.

1:28:19.600 --> 1:28:22.080
<v Speaker 4>He's like, yes, yes, it was a.

1:28:22.120 --> 1:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Super R and B.

1:28:22.800 --> 1:28:24.680
<v Speaker 5>It was an R and B verse all the way

1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:27.760
<v Speaker 5>through and through. He's like, yes, this is it, and

1:28:27.840 --> 1:28:30.400
<v Speaker 5>then she cuts it and then it doesn't. It's what

1:28:30.479 --> 1:28:34.840
<v Speaker 5>we were saying earlier. It doesn't come off so R

1:28:34.880 --> 1:28:37.519
<v Speaker 5>and B for her to wear her audience is like

1:28:37.600 --> 1:28:39.240
<v Speaker 5>it's too R and B, but it's an.

1:28:39.280 --> 1:28:39.560
<v Speaker 4>R and B.

1:28:40.360 --> 1:28:43.200
<v Speaker 5>The prop wrote the whole thing like approach wise, we

1:28:43.280 --> 1:28:47.760
<v Speaker 5>wrote the whole verse as an R and B soul record.

1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:48.080
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean?

1:28:48.360 --> 1:28:51.760
<v Speaker 5>So I think it's what again again. It all comes

1:28:51.840 --> 1:28:56.439
<v Speaker 5>back to It comes back to that. There's a group,

1:28:58.520 --> 1:29:00.280
<v Speaker 5>and I'm talking that's on the dance front. Then on

1:29:00.360 --> 1:29:04.160
<v Speaker 5>the country front. There's a group called They that I

1:29:04.680 --> 1:29:07.840
<v Speaker 5>did a lot with on their last couple albums. But

1:29:07.960 --> 1:29:10.519
<v Speaker 5>we did an album in twenty twenty one called the

1:29:10.600 --> 1:29:13.960
<v Speaker 5>Amanda Tape. If you haven't heard it, go listen. It's

1:29:13.960 --> 1:29:17.640
<v Speaker 5>an amazing project. But we do the Amanda Tape and

1:29:17.760 --> 1:29:24.960
<v Speaker 5>then the amazing, amazingly talented Casey Musgraves in Nashville.

1:29:25.400 --> 1:29:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Here's the project.

1:29:26.720 --> 1:29:30.639
<v Speaker 5>And then she reaches out and she's like, Hey, love

1:29:31.160 --> 1:29:33.160
<v Speaker 5>this Amanda tape. Would y'all be down to do a

1:29:33.200 --> 1:29:36.320
<v Speaker 5>week with me in Nashville? Go out and do a

1:29:36.360 --> 1:29:38.680
<v Speaker 5>week with her in Nashville, And then we end up

1:29:39.000 --> 1:29:43.439
<v Speaker 5>we end up being the only not only outside writers black,

1:29:45.160 --> 1:29:49.200
<v Speaker 5>Drew Love, Dante and myself the only black people on

1:29:49.320 --> 1:29:51.639
<v Speaker 5>that whole country album and one number one number one

1:29:51.680 --> 1:29:55.120
<v Speaker 5>country album. But we were the only black people that

1:29:55.200 --> 1:29:57.840
<v Speaker 5>she brought in on. She does everything with just her team.

1:29:58.400 --> 1:30:00.439
<v Speaker 5>But she did that and then she she was like, Yo,

1:30:00.479 --> 1:30:02.360
<v Speaker 5>are you okay if I just leave your backgrounds on

1:30:02.439 --> 1:30:02.800
<v Speaker 5>the record.

1:30:02.840 --> 1:30:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I was like absolutely.

1:30:04.280 --> 1:30:06.000
<v Speaker 5>So it's like if the song starts off with me

1:30:07.000 --> 1:30:09.479
<v Speaker 5>and then and then her, and I'm like absolutely, And

1:30:09.640 --> 1:30:12.320
<v Speaker 5>she jumps on the record with them with the group

1:30:12.400 --> 1:30:15.479
<v Speaker 5>day and she features on there that So it's just,

1:30:16.080 --> 1:30:17.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, it all comes back to R and B.

1:30:19.320 --> 1:30:21.360
<v Speaker 4>It always is gonna come back to R and B

1:30:21.479 --> 1:30:24.360
<v Speaker 4>when you look at like the Beavers and and.

1:30:26.360 --> 1:30:29.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, and seeing all that, like R and B

1:30:29.360 --> 1:30:31.360
<v Speaker 5>y'all were probably writing R and B songs when y'all

1:30:31.400 --> 1:30:32.160
<v Speaker 5>were doing that stuff.

1:30:32.240 --> 1:30:32.800
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

1:30:33.040 --> 1:30:34.720
<v Speaker 6>For sure, the approach on it, you know what I

1:30:34.800 --> 1:30:39.439
<v Speaker 6>mean for sure? I mean it's just mm hmm. Whoever sing, Yeah,

1:30:39.520 --> 1:30:40.599
<v Speaker 6>and you put a different son.

1:30:42.400 --> 1:30:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely absolutely tinker with being an art that you're gonna

1:30:46.000 --> 1:30:46.559
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna.

1:30:46.360 --> 1:30:48.320
<v Speaker 5>Figure out what that listens. It looks like, yeah, we're

1:30:48.320 --> 1:30:51.040
<v Speaker 5>gonna see what that looks like. Yeah, yeah, I think so.

1:30:51.800 --> 1:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean listen because it's I always say, even I

1:30:53.840 --> 1:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>tell Domdjaris, I said, listen, it's something to being in

1:30:56.840 --> 1:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the crowd and sing your song, perform and a way

1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that's life changing in that room. Yeah, and then there's

1:31:03.280 --> 1:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>something to you actually being on the stage that song

1:31:08.439 --> 1:31:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that is changing the lives of everybody in that room.

1:31:11.400 --> 1:31:11.639
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

1:31:12.320 --> 1:31:17.160
<v Speaker 5>So it's like like, Okay, I'm sorry because I don't

1:31:17.200 --> 1:31:19.479
<v Speaker 5>know like how far you're this guy goes back, but

1:31:19.520 --> 1:31:23.400
<v Speaker 5>it was maybe I deserve your first like hit, Yes, okay,

1:31:24.160 --> 1:31:26.000
<v Speaker 5>you know you talk about how music can take you back,

1:31:26.080 --> 1:31:28.760
<v Speaker 5>like maybe I deserve I remember that in I think

1:31:28.880 --> 1:31:33.240
<v Speaker 5>eighth grade like that, like boom, that's a that's a

1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:38.920
<v Speaker 5>core memory, you know what I'm saying like that, maybe

1:31:38.960 --> 1:31:45.800
<v Speaker 5>I deserve slowly, Oh my gosh, bro honestly. And I

1:31:45.840 --> 1:31:48.120
<v Speaker 5>think it comes back to again what I said about.

1:31:48.080 --> 1:31:49.200
<v Speaker 4>You have to love what it is you do.

1:31:49.479 --> 1:31:52.000
<v Speaker 5>That's a long jevity when you really look at when

1:31:52.000 --> 1:31:53.640
<v Speaker 5>you really look at it, how many people do you

1:31:53.840 --> 1:31:56.599
<v Speaker 5>know that started when you were starting that are still

1:31:56.680 --> 1:32:00.080
<v Speaker 5>doing still doing this and not out of you know

1:32:00.120 --> 1:32:02.000
<v Speaker 5>what I mean, like because they can't.

1:32:03.360 --> 1:32:04.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not a lot.

1:32:04.240 --> 1:32:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I can guarantee you, and I don't even know if,

1:32:05.960 --> 1:32:07.280
<v Speaker 4>but I can guarantee you it's not a lot.

1:32:07.600 --> 1:32:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I love all of this shit.

1:32:09.040 --> 1:32:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, you you.

1:32:11.080 --> 1:32:14.080
<v Speaker 1>What happens is and what I've noticed is that the

1:32:14.200 --> 1:32:16.479
<v Speaker 1>one thing that can happen is you can get burnt

1:32:16.600 --> 1:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>out with the process man, man of creating and coming

1:32:22.200 --> 1:32:27.160
<v Speaker 1>up with new and rebranding, and long studio hours and

1:32:27.240 --> 1:32:30.800
<v Speaker 1>photo shoots, video shoots, all of these things can get

1:32:31.280 --> 1:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>They can get tiring old. Wow. Even though you love

1:32:35.360 --> 1:32:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the music, the idea of it, the you know, the

1:32:39.200 --> 1:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>initial reason why you fell in love with it, but

1:32:41.160 --> 1:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>everything surrounding it drains you. It can take from you.

1:32:46.160 --> 1:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I can only speak for them. I do not speak

1:32:49.280 --> 1:32:49.439
<v Speaker 1>for me.

1:32:49.640 --> 1:32:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Come on now, I love that.

1:32:53.280 --> 1:32:54.080
<v Speaker 4>That's amazing, man.

1:32:54.400 --> 1:32:56.600
<v Speaker 1>But it shows, and I keep up with all of it.

1:32:56.920 --> 1:33:00.320
<v Speaker 1>It shows, whether it be production, whether it be whether

1:33:00.320 --> 1:33:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it be dripped, whether that's staging, whether it be lighting.

1:33:04.240 --> 1:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm in tune with all of it.

1:33:06.560 --> 1:33:09.639
<v Speaker 5>But that's also a common thread that I find amongst

1:33:10.720 --> 1:33:15.600
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the greats is you don't feel like

1:33:16.160 --> 1:33:19.080
<v Speaker 5>you're done learning, Like you stay learning. I feel like

1:33:19.200 --> 1:33:22.400
<v Speaker 5>the ones who are great and absolutely able to keep doing,

1:33:23.000 --> 1:33:27.120
<v Speaker 5>they stay learning. I feel like, whether that's surrounding yourself

1:33:27.200 --> 1:33:30.200
<v Speaker 5>with people I don't even want to say younger, but

1:33:30.400 --> 1:33:32.320
<v Speaker 5>just like that, do something that you don't that you

1:33:32.360 --> 1:33:33.040
<v Speaker 5>don't necessarily do.

1:33:33.160 --> 1:33:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Is it a younger thing or somebody who's active.

1:33:37.360 --> 1:33:39.599
<v Speaker 4>Active, Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, facts.

1:33:39.760 --> 1:33:41.720
<v Speaker 5>Facts, And then that's the beauty in it, to be

1:33:41.760 --> 1:33:43.960
<v Speaker 5>able to look at somebody that does something totally different

1:33:44.000 --> 1:33:46.679
<v Speaker 5>than the approach on it is different than your approach,

1:33:46.960 --> 1:33:50.559
<v Speaker 5>but then you're able to take that and say, like, look, bro,

1:33:50.680 --> 1:33:52.760
<v Speaker 5>I remember the first time I worked with King with

1:33:52.960 --> 1:33:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Babyface and I'm like, we're writing a song and I'm like,

1:33:58.720 --> 1:34:00.679
<v Speaker 5>he's like, yeah that and I'm I'm like you sure,

1:34:01.320 --> 1:34:02.040
<v Speaker 5>and he's like yeah.

1:34:02.479 --> 1:34:04.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm like nah, I like what you said. He's like, no,

1:34:04.479 --> 1:34:06.439
<v Speaker 4>that's it. I'm like all right.

1:34:06.520 --> 1:34:08.680
<v Speaker 5>So then we finished writing there and I'm thinking he's

1:34:08.680 --> 1:34:10.240
<v Speaker 5>about to go in the booth and sing the song.

1:34:10.880 --> 1:34:12.840
<v Speaker 4>He's like, okay, going in the boot to it.

1:34:13.040 --> 1:34:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I said, excuse me, I said, you're not bruh. I

1:34:19.560 --> 1:34:22.080
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh shoot, I'm.

1:34:21.920 --> 1:34:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Just I'm expecting him to go and he's inspired. He's

1:34:24.800 --> 1:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like right.

1:34:26.240 --> 1:34:30.559
<v Speaker 5>It was the most insane, absolutely in saying. But that's

1:34:30.640 --> 1:34:32.600
<v Speaker 5>why I feel like he's has been able to do

1:34:32.640 --> 1:34:34.040
<v Speaker 5>it for so long too, you.

1:34:34.080 --> 1:34:39.640

<v Speaker 4>We worked a few times and so we were we

1:44:06.760 --> 1:44:08.720
<v Speaker 4>were around the same age, I think.

1:44:09.479 --> 1:44:13.080
<v Speaker 5>But I was living in North Hollywood at the time,

1:44:14.160 --> 1:44:16.920

1:48:10.479 --> 1:48:11.559
<v Speaker 1>you want to get paid, If you want.

1:48:11.479 --> 1:48:14.360
<v Speaker 3>To get paid, I think you're sure too, so you

<v Speaker 3>might be all right there, bro.

1:48:15.600 --> 1:48:19.080
<v Speaker 5>I walked and rested away to my apartment, and so,

1:48:19.720 --> 1:48:24.200
<v Speaker 5>funny enough, I'm working with the same artists. A few

1:48:24.280 --> 1:48:26.840
<v Speaker 5>months back, and I tell him the story. I'm like, bro,

1:48:27.120 --> 1:48:30.400
<v Speaker 5>do you know when we were working we were first working,

1:48:30.840 --> 1:48:33.040
<v Speaker 5>like and I told him the story, and his dad

1:48:33.200 --> 1:48:34.960
<v Speaker 5>was out with us, out at dinner with us.

1:48:35.600 --> 1:48:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And his dad.

1:48:36.160 --> 1:48:38.360
<v Speaker 4>His dad was a big manager. To his dad said,

1:48:40.520 --> 1:48:41.080
<v Speaker 4>why didn't you.

1:48:41.280 --> 1:48:43.519
<v Speaker 3>Just ask for a ride? I had an office in

1:48:43.760 --> 1:48:45.800
<v Speaker 3>hensn Why didn't you just have a ride? I said,

1:48:46.680 --> 1:48:47.480
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't.

1:48:47.120 --> 1:48:49.240
<v Speaker 4>About to ask y'all for no rides, or I said,

1:48:49.280 --> 1:48:51.519
<v Speaker 4>I said, and honestly, you know what, if I do

1:48:51.600 --> 1:48:52.040
<v Speaker 4>it all over.

1:48:51.920 --> 1:48:54.719
<v Speaker 5>Again, I probably still wouldn't ask for a ride because

1:48:54.880 --> 1:48:58.680
<v Speaker 5>because I just the perception for me was I was

1:48:58.760 --> 1:49:01.720
<v Speaker 5>bigger than than than my pride, you know what I mean.

1:49:02.000 --> 1:49:04.400
<v Speaker 4>So I was just like or the same way, the

1:49:04.439 --> 1:49:05.360
<v Speaker 4>same as my pride, I guess.

1:49:05.960 --> 1:49:07.960
<v Speaker 5>But I was like, yeah, I said, I said, if

1:49:07.960 --> 1:49:09.599
<v Speaker 5>I do it all again, I probably still wouldn't ask

1:49:09.640 --> 1:49:11.040
<v Speaker 5>for a ride because I wanted to.

1:49:11.200 --> 1:49:12.840
<v Speaker 4>I wanted you to just look at me as I'm

1:49:13.200 --> 1:49:16.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm here for this, and you know what

1:49:16.320 --> 1:49:16.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean.

1:49:16.560 --> 1:49:17.439
<v Speaker 3>You didn't need to know that I.

1:49:17.479 --> 1:49:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Walked here from from you know.

1:49:19.439 --> 1:49:22.760
<v Speaker 3>And the crazy thing is he lived into Luca Lake.

1:49:23.800 --> 1:49:26.800
<v Speaker 3>It was right around the corner. He definitely would have bro.

1:49:26.920 --> 1:49:29.680
<v Speaker 4>He lived in Luca, like literally right by Brian's oh

1:49:30.479 --> 1:49:33.720
<v Speaker 4>condo right off Legs. Bro lived right there. But I

1:49:34.360 --> 1:49:36.920
<v Speaker 4>it's it's so funny. So that goes back to you

1:49:36.960 --> 1:49:38.640
<v Speaker 4>remember when you said what'd you first get with your

1:49:38.680 --> 1:49:39.400
<v Speaker 4>money that you forget.

1:49:39.680 --> 1:49:41.479
<v Speaker 14>I got a car so I wouldn't have to drop

1:49:41.680 --> 1:49:44.639
<v Speaker 14>so I wouldn't have to walk or worry about knocking

1:49:45.439 --> 1:49:46.480
<v Speaker 14>on the taxi.

1:49:46.479 --> 1:49:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Jump out on the taxi.

1:49:48.080 --> 1:49:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Bro I pulled up one time at at Atlantic when

1:49:54.800 --> 1:49:59.400
<v Speaker 5>they were off of uh the at the Diane Warren's building.

1:50:00.760 --> 1:50:02.080
<v Speaker 4>And saying, this is around the same time.

1:50:02.080 --> 1:50:04.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking public transport and I'm like sweating by the

1:50:04.280 --> 1:50:06.600
<v Speaker 5>time I get to the session, like my manager. I

1:50:06.720 --> 1:50:08.760
<v Speaker 5>was with Tom a Faye at the time. So Tom

1:50:08.840 --> 1:50:10.760
<v Speaker 5>hits me like, de where you at? Like they they

1:50:10.880 --> 1:50:12.519
<v Speaker 5>asking me where you are. I'm like, I'm almost there.

1:50:12.880 --> 1:50:15.800
<v Speaker 5>And so I walk in and I'm drinch sweat shirt,

1:50:16.000 --> 1:50:19.040
<v Speaker 5>just drinch sweat and so uh but nobody said nothing

1:50:19.080 --> 1:50:21.680
<v Speaker 5>to me. So so I get to working. So then

1:50:21.800 --> 1:50:24.160
<v Speaker 5>Tom heard be later he said I said yeah, I said,

1:50:24.880 --> 1:50:26.080
<v Speaker 5>I said, uh, everything went good.

1:50:26.120 --> 1:50:27.519
<v Speaker 3>He was like okay. He was like yeah, they were.

1:50:27.880 --> 1:50:28.160
<v Speaker 3>They were.

1:50:28.280 --> 1:50:29.760
<v Speaker 5>They were pressing me, wondering where you were. But then

1:50:29.800 --> 1:50:32.839
<v Speaker 5>they said you walked in sweating and smelling like outside.

1:50:32.920 --> 1:50:35.040
<v Speaker 5>And they didn't say nothing. They just like, oh, he's

1:50:35.200 --> 1:50:37.720
<v Speaker 5>he's straight. He got to hear him get here. He

1:50:37.880 --> 1:50:39.439
<v Speaker 5>went through a lot to get here, you know what

1:50:39.520 --> 1:50:39.800
<v Speaker 5>I mean.

1:50:40.560 --> 1:50:41.479
<v Speaker 1>But that that was.

1:50:43.920 --> 1:50:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Bro, It's how bad.

1:50:45.160 --> 1:50:48.320
<v Speaker 5>It's how bad I wanted it, man, And again like

1:50:49.080 --> 1:50:50.960
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't have done it any other way, you know

1:50:51.000 --> 1:50:52.920
<v Speaker 5>what I'm saying, the exact same way.

1:50:53.160 --> 1:50:59.080
<v Speaker 4>But there's one other one. This was short. What you do,

1:50:59.320 --> 1:51:01.479
<v Speaker 4>it's a it's a This is a producer that.

1:51:01.560 --> 1:51:02.000
<v Speaker 3>We all know.

1:51:03.560 --> 1:51:08.200
<v Speaker 5>That I had just left the studio, so I was

1:51:08.439 --> 1:51:10.920
<v Speaker 5>I didn't I didn't see this happening, but I was

1:51:10.960 --> 1:51:13.360
<v Speaker 5>told about it like this that there's a There was

1:51:13.400 --> 1:51:16.800
<v Speaker 5>a there was another This producer kind of set up

1:51:16.880 --> 1:51:19.519

<v Speaker 4>this producer I know was working late one night.

1:51:28.600 --> 1:51:31.040
<v Speaker 5>And then the other producer I'm talking about, I guess

1:51:31.120 --> 1:51:33.920
<v Speaker 5>thought nobody else was there at the studio, like it's

1:51:33.960 --> 1:51:34.280

1:51:37.160 --> 1:51:39.240
<v Speaker 4>in the joint. So finished doing what he was doing,

1:51:40.520 --> 1:51:42.599
