But I know sometimes it's a journey, 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.079 but that old journey. I'm trying to put you all 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:45.720 onto the hardship. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.000 So the new album is a long story short, Yes, sir, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:50.880 why that? Well, it's it's a mix shape you feel 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.600 me like, it's not even an album, mixtape album. You 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.319 know who knows these days see me the new body 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:55.720 of work. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.240 That your facts. But it's important to me to set 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.560 up my situation the way it's being set up. The 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.679 mixtape is leading to an album, because before I can 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.199 give you an album, you gotta know where I've been. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.760 And I don't think I think I can say a 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.000 lot more for for where I've been, at where I'm going, 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.040 and where I want to be in an album, but 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.600 I gotta tell you why I've been in the mixtape 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.560 so you can understand. Okay, we're about to go in 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.080 the long journey, but long story short. Before we get there, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.440 this is what happened, right type shit? 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.520 Yeah yeah, yeah, nah, I think and this is your 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.640 because you would only put an EPR right now.

Put a mixt shonka streets. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:31.120 How many songs was it? 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.680 I want to say, like twelve or fourteen songs? 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:38.240 Okay? Yeah? Is it for any features on the nah? 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.560 Just like Street Sermons, Like it's there's there's no features, 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.400 Like what Street Sermons came together? 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:43.680 Again, like I didn't have a lot of hands as 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.240 far as like what songs got picked and like how 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.480 many songs it was? I just roll the music this one. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.199 I feel like I really have my hands on it 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.480 and was able to really tell a full blown story 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.320 from top to bottom and chronological order the way I 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.520 want to how I want you sequence the track me 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.280 by myself and I'm sitting there listening to that shit 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.000 like this is the way it got to come out 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.400 this way? Like you know, and I would say, besides 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.280 one song that that got switched, you know shot the 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.040 people that helped me put that one song were needed 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.760 to go. But like, it's just I really was able 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.640 to really get in there and make that shit make 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.760 sense for you? Was was it like? Were? 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.880 Because I feel like you have fans that were probably 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.400 just asking you, like, what the fuck's going on when 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:20.120 new music coming. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.760 Out with bro?
