Man, We've been at a real fucking crazy lately, 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.239 kind of going back to back. Man, Listen Monday, we 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.279 got Benny the Butcher dropping. We're introducing a new series 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:30.400 where he's freestyling doing his thing. I'm not even gonna lie. 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:36.720 It is the night of Friday night, no Thursday night, 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:43.080 so you'll hear this Friday if you're listening. But man, 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.440 side note, I am the worst at just doing things 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.519 last minute. October fifteenth is the official cutoff to do 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:56.080 your taxes if you got an extension. So currently I'm 0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:03.040 sitting in front of bank statements, a highlighter and turbo 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.759 tax trying to get my taxes done. But the show 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.480 must go on. This week's episode is with an artist 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:14.319 named Young Blue aka Blue Van Dross. This kid was 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.160 somebody who I became really familiar with about a year 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.800 ago or so, maybe like a little longer than that. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.839 It was signed a boozy and I watched his lad 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.440 interview last year, and man, let me tell you something, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.639 this kid is one of the more solid young dudes 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:39.600 I've come across in the game. Really just a nice kid. Man, 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.200 who really dropped a lot of jewels in this interview. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.200 Not your run of the mill rapper, That's what I'm 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.400 gonna say. And before this, this was filmed about two 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:54.280 weeks ago, rather recorded two weeks ago. And today the 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.640 kid just dropped the record with Drake, you know what 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.720 I'm saying. So Drake just hopped on his EP remix 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.640 and the song came out today. So this was prior 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.600 to us knowing that Drake was getting on his song. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.320 This was prior to him even knowing that, because I 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.000 guess he found out that Drake wanted to hop on 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.160 his record like three days ago. So a lot of 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.320 hype behind this kid, and it's well deserved. Got a 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:21.760 shout out.

Hey man. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.160 I gotta give you some props, man, because I feel 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.080 like you're one of the first artists that is that 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.400 kind of this new wave is going on sonically. You know, 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.000 I feel like you're one of the first artists. You've 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.560 been doing the extremely melodic, you know, romantic thug shit 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.480 for a very long time, and I know that that's 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.800 like kind of catching on like real big you know, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.720 like guys like Rod a Way even like you know, 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.400 but I feel like you were one of the first 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.760 dudes I heard that really really was like, oh, this 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.040 dude's like singing his ass off and like it's some 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.719 it's some other ship, like I think P and B 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.760 rocks in that conversation. But I definitely think like you're 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.960 one of the early guys who like before the world 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.400 that really before they really just too much understood it, 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.760 Like they really understood the wave of that right then. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.760 You know what I'm saying. I was it was, it was, 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.840 it was hot in the streets, but like I was 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:32.239 trying to get the major label to believe in that wave, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.760 you know what I'm saying, And they ain't really understanding 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.360 at the time. So yeah, I'm sure that they wish 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.720 they would have been understood it now. Yeah, I just 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.000 saw you post the picture with two gold plaques. Yeah yeah, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.320 I'm probably they probably went on my plating place now 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:51.120 so independently, independently, man, Yeah, that's it's a beautiful thing. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.560 Now help me, Okay, let's clear up this this this situation. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.280 I saw you just post that lad headline that was missing, right. Yeah. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.000 So for people who don't know you originally were signed, 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.200 I think a lot of people were introduced to you 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.080 through Boozy Yeah yeah, yeah, right, you were on the 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.960 the BooPac album and Boozie was he the first guy 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.719 who really kind of like came in and co signed 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.279 you as far as like oh yeah for sure and 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.040 coming out of Alabama. I know boos is not from Alabama, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.680 but Boozy in the South is like fucking Jesus Christ 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:29.200 himself for sure. So there was the headline had said 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.400 that you were no longer with Boozy's label and you're 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.120 with dream Chasers now, so and can you clear that 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:39.560 whole situation up? Uh? Man, that situation was just a misunderstand. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.560 I ain't really like how the headline look because it 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.200 seemed like on some switching teams type type stuff. Like 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.200 I said, uh, you know, just like the clip that 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.640 he posted within Like if you read the story, it'll 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.240 show you that I said that. I told that I 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.000 came to Boosts. I was like, I ain't really like 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.920 us rocking with Columbia no more because you know, it's 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.440 they weren't really doing what I needed them to do 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.000 for me, you know what I'm saying. So I was 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.880 like we was joint venturing with them. A lot of 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.440 people don't know that, Like I was joint venture with 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.200 me Boosy and Colombia Records like six months after I 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.560 signed to him, so uh, you know, after about you know, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.840 some years. Just like I said, they ain't really understand 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.760 the wave I had going on. So I just felt 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.840 like it was best to just go independent. And when 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.760 I say independent, you know boost label independent, you know 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.080 what I'm saying. So we independent, you know what I'm saying. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.400 So I'm trying to I ain't switched to when I 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.280 say I got off the label, I'm always talking about Columbia. Yeah, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.280 I'm not talking about Are you still sign the Boozies? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.120 I'm still signing the Bustle. We just amended some things, 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:47.880 like after that codomb Be did we had to sit 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.440 back doc. I was a bigger artist, you know what 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.960 I'm saying. So we amended some things, you know what 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.880 I'm saying. I told him like kind of like my vision, 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.000 you know. So no, I think that's dope too, Like 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.720 a lot of times, right, you signed that deal early 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.920 with artists like you know, another artist and like, you know, 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.640 hey man, I'm at a different place now the fact 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.400 and Boozie was opening that conversation, yeah, because it wasn't 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.720 like no, it wasn't it wasn't like saying, I'm at 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.200 a different place now, I don't want to be signed 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.760 to your label no more. Right, But like he could 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.960 be asshole and be like, look you signed what you signed? 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.640 Yeah that tells you how real? How really of a motherfucker? Yeah, yeah, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.600 that's what I'm saying. So you know, we amended some things. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.920 You know, Booster still get his percentage, like just how 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.240 the original contract set up. It's just that, you know 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.240 what I'm saying, owe my masters and stuff like that, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.120 and people and a lot of people don't know, like 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.680 for that deal, it's a lot of business for that 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.120 deal to get them in it. It's a lot of 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.679 business I did, you know what I'm saying to to 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.600 get that to that point. You know, it wasn't just 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.040 I mean we we were good, we found but at 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.000 the same time, like I gave up all my like 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:57.040 one hundred percent of my early masters during that time 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.760 to be able to own a hundred percent of my 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.520 few stuff, you know what I'm saying. So I gave 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.680 a Booster like all the mix tape of stuff I 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.240 drop with boos like yeah, he owned the message to 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.240 those you know what I'm saying. So these essentially you said, hey, 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.240 you could have these Masters if you just let me 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.280 move the way I want to move moving forward. Yeah, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.319 because I had like three faux albums left with them. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.400 So it's like he could have said, you know what 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.360 I'm saying, No, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.959 my own these too, you know what I'm saying. But uh, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.000 like I said, you know what I'm saying, Like it 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.240 was it was it was will it was willing to daling, 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.439 you know what I'm saying.

I had to 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.560 give up something to be able to yeah, because I 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.200 know I'm a drop Yeah, I'm gonna drop mold music. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.280 I know I'm gonna drop three or four projects in 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.800 a year if you yeah, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.280 But moving fast, moving fast forward. So we me and 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.920 him talked about the the meet situation, you know, meet team. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.800 Uh came to me, you know, sheaf Brian them over there. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.079 I think she the president of the Rock Nation. So 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.440 she came to me and it was just you know, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.160 laid out a situation on the table to where I 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.319 felt like at the time made sense. You know. It 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.640 was a management situation where she was just like, you know, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.120 we can help you with up you know what, I'm 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.199 a lot of stuff of course, and it was like, 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.760 you know, I looked it old. We talked about it 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.880 for a couple of months. I went I flew down 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.920 that meet with Meet and stuff. I talked about it 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.320 with Booster. You know what I'm saying. He felt like 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.880 it was you know what I'm saying, It'll be good 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.720 because him and Meet good, you know what I'm saying. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.760 So that's for that situation where it wasn't like, no, oh, 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.800 all right, Booster, you know what I'm saying, let me 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.960 go over here to meet. Nah. He was ain't like that. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:29.319 So Meek's team is management. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.840 part of the management. How did how did me like 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.240 what would you know, like what the original record was 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.600 that like caught Meek's attention or that like him, I 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.840 think I think it was more of I think it 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.920 was more a meat team. Like it was more a 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.240 meat team, you know what I'm saying. Presented to Meet 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.280 and then they were like, Yo, this kid's moving, we 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.480 should work with him. Like yeah, you know what I'm saying, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:54.160 I honestly don't. I honestly don't really too much know 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.000 if you know, because Meet from a whole different you 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.520 know what I'm saying, Yeah, hold other part of the country, 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.719 So I don't know if he's too much just understand, 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.600 you know what I'm saying my music so much as 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.400 a yet you feel me, But I feel like, you know, 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.760 I can't. I came in for what I you know, 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.600 I feel like his team, you know what I'm saying, 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.800 His team was present to me and what they could do. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.640 You know what I'm saying. Ain't come to ride Meek 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.520 Way ride his coat till you know what I came 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.320 in for. I think that's just kind of a misunderstanding. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.400 I think it's like people just see it. People see 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.480 a headline and that's what they go with. Yeah, you 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.360 know what I'm saying, So, yeah, it's important to carry 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.520 that shit out. So you're from Alabama, man, And Alabama 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.760 has really had a crazy like last like three or 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.280 four years where like you know, obviously back in the 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:47.199 day there was like doughe B and Yellow Wolf and 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.280 you know, guys like that, and then Yeah, Rich Boy, 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.240 and then even before that, I think there was a 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.839 group called Dirty Got Dirty Boys. Yeah, Dirty was crazy 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.800 that the album covered with a guy a Snake. And 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.640 now it's like, man, one of the hot beds of 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.720 hip hop at the moment. I feel like it's like Alabama, 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.880 it's obviously bad and ruge and it's Memphis, Like those 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.800 are the three cities that have kind of always kind 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.800 of been traditionally slept on. And now y'all got it 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.960 right now, Like what was it harder coming out of Alabama? Yeah? 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.000 Because when I first started coming out of Alabama, like 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.800 I was the only one, so I had to try 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.680 to make the whole industry believe in Alabama. You know 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.440 what I'm saying, Because you know that one I started 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.160 coming up right around the time like Dobe passed away, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.680 you know what I'm saying. So it was plus like 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.200 yellow Wolf was doing his own ship. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.880 you know, but yeah, it's definitely not the same you 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.160 know way. Yeah it was in like the the street, 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:49.720 hip hop street. Yeah I'm going, you know, going to 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.920 interview them radio interviewing, and you know what I'm saying, 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.200 just getting near body to try to believe in this 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.360 Alabama by my way, and then wants to you know, 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.720 the other people started coming up. You know, it was 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.320 like okay, yeah, you know what I'm saying. It's it's efficient. 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.520 So now it's like we got we got more. So 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.840 not everybody believe in it because it's just like you're 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.080 looking from a small city somewhere and one person, you 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.200 know what I'm saying, doing stuff from that city right 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.680 at that moment, and you just like, I don't know 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.800 if I should believe in it, you know what I'm saying. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.760 Maybe he's just looking and then it was you and 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.160 then like the mirror caught on. Yeah, you know. But 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.640 the only thing the mill man, the mill won't really 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.960 ripping Alabama. He was snapping Alabama like that. So I 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:35.960 can't really, I can't really. Uh. I felt like that 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:41.000 came after he saw more people, you know what I'm saying, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.240 ripping it, and then you know what I'm saying, he 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.520 eventually you always need your stake, you feel me. Eventually 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520 you're gonna need it, you know, So you can't. Yeah, 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.880 so you can't. Uh So yeah, that's how I feel. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:57.360 What is because I feel like, you know, the unfortunate 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.920 thing about Memphis and Baton Rouge that I've noticed is 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.640 like most of the major artists all have beef for 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:08.120 each other. Yeah is that? What's what's your relationship like 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.680 with your you know, some of your peers from Alabama 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.320 because there's a lot of a lot of dudes man bubbling, Like, 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.080 is everything pretty much solid or yeah. I mean, of 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.840 course it's it's always some screen stuff going on behind 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.360 the scenes or the music. But like far as me 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.840 my situation, like everybody look at me as you know 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.120 what I'm saying, Like really one of the founders of 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.440 that like Alabama New Generation definitely you know what I'm 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.160 saying type shit, So everybody really look up to me 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.040 and respect me, Like don't you don't own beef for 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.640 nobody ain't got no smoke in the city, like everybody, 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:45.920 you know, I miss float Millig cap rolloh uh, you know, 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.840 everybody just just coming up out of Alabama, like I 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.360 didn't even know was from Alabama. Mobile, like all of 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.000 all of all of the artists that's popping from Alabama 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.840 is from Mobile, Alabama, Like which is like I said 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:04.480 it that sh It's like it's like fucking North Florida, right, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.920 It's it's it's like yeah, because yeah every time, because 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.040 I used to live in Tampa, so when I would drive, yeah, 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.640 you would drive to Mobile. Yeah, so you're from Mobile, Yeah, 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.679 from Mobile? And what is like the energy is there 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.280 a big energy difference between like Birmingham and because I 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.719 think people always associate Birmingham, Alabama with Alabama, Like, well, 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.399 I think we're real different though, Like you know what 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.080 I'm saying, we really different of course, you know what 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.080 I'm saying. They got their artists that's doing anything. You 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.280 know what I'm saying, is like a separation or is 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:35.800 it like yeah, we repp in the state or is 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.360 it like yeah, I think I think it's I think 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:38.920 it's on some ship, like we rapping the state. You 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.080 know what I'm saying. They got t L. Cinco, Little Soldier, 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.840 you know what I'm saying. Out the type of artists, 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.360 I feel like, you know, no bad blood. I feel 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.160 like everybody just ripping. Just glad. We got this wave 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:56.639 going on right now probably like a you know, we 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.400 got the most artist that's that that that's big, big 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.800 right now state. But I feel like eventually he's gonna 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.480 start even and not. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.040 like even like the do Clevers from Gadsen Like yeah, yeah, Clever, Yeah, 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:12.200 Clever Cliver paper right now he's clever that boy too.

Like 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.320 I feel like when people watch you on social media, 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.240 they get a different messaging vibe from when they watch 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.480 most of these young artists in the game, because I 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.360 feel like, you know, a lot of type of these 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.240 new cats is like it's a lot of antics on 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.000 the gram, Like I feel like your shit can be 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:46.480 inspirational for a lot of people.

What is the 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.600 hardest thing you've learned about being in the restaurant business, 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.600 because I know it's a really hard business to like succeeding. 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.120 They we always see restaurants coming and going all the time. 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.120 Yeah we ship, Yeah we ship done right now because 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:43.960 of this COVID stuff. So we're gonna get ready to 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:46.800 come back up. I'm gonna get ready to turn it 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:50.720 to a club or hook a lounge. But uh, the 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.040 best thing I learned for real is just that it's 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.960 just I ain't never really make no money for my restaurant, 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:57.960 you know what I'm saying, Like I it was just 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.359 open just for me, Like it was just it was 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.280 it was lit. It was like we made a lot 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.920 of money, but it was so much overhead that you 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:06.600 ain't really see a lot of money. So you like 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.800 you ain't it ain't no going into the account. Oh 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.440 I'm gonna take the ten thousand, go do that, you 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.600 know what I'm saying. Probably like if you touch that, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.480 like you might not be able to pay the dells 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.560 next monthing. Yeah, you feel me, even though they had 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.480 a little because you know, I'm an artist, so I 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.240 a lot of times I just come out of my pocket. 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.119 But when I started coming out of my pocket, I 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.040 was like, you know, at first, I was just breaking even. 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.359 I probably making a little money, you know what I'm saying, 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:30.800 probably house or too, you know what I'm saying. But 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.119 I was satisfied with that because I was like, at 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:35.840 least we you know what I'm saying, money, yeah, you 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.000 know what I'm saying, or at least I just wanted 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.800 to have a restaurant, like just something in my city. 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:41.119 You know what I'm saying. It ain't metter if I 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.840 was just breaking even, because I really really doing it 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:47.320 for the profit. Yeah. So but yeah, once I started 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:48.760 to come out of my pocket, you know what I'm saying. 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:50.960 Then we was only business like three months before the 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:52.880 COVID hit. We were doing good for the COVID hit, 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:54.960 So we was real fragile, you know what I'm saying. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.679 So that was just the worst time. People started catching 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.400 COVID up in the like all the workers stuff just 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.800 this is this is this is in mobile. Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:07.680 so I had to Yeah, I had, I had to 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:09.400 shut it down, and then once I shut it down, 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.280 people about new jobs and that's a whole lot of stuff. 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.560 So I'm just remodeling it right now. Yeah. I feel 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:20.120 like I've heard though that Alabama uh being the crazy 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.280 right wing redneck state that it is. Most people don't 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:25.000 even act like the COVID shit is real down there. 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.199 My boy was down there for Labor Day and he 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:33.720 was like, nobody's wearing masks. They definitely like, you know, 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.080 they they they weird down there. But I had this 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.199 thing called Blue Bash that I was throwing down. I 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.919 had everybody on it, like you know what I'm saying 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:44.440 for the two uh free birthday. Yeah yeah, no, it 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.679 was for my album release part, but you just was 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.120 that recently. Yeah, But I did. I end up doing 0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:51.840 a little show because they canceled. It was supposed to 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:53.919 be a lad of people stadium. I had like twenty artists, 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.160 P and b Rock. I hate everybody in the game. 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.639 They really black youngster blucha everybody. They missed with me 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:03.840 for real the COVID shit. Yeah, but they came back 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.399 and start throwing football games at the same place, and 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.119 I'm like, so that was like a big thing with 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:09.760 the news and stuff. They was trying to get me 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:11.760 to get political on and stuff like that. But I 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.639 really wanted too much do it right then because I 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:16.000 know I'm gonn want to throw it again, and I 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:17.720 want to throw it. You know what I'm saying. I 0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.480 ain't really want to stir up. I know I could 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.080 have stirred. You don't want to stir it up because 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:23.680 it might funk up, like next year if you want 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.840 to do it at the same place. Yeah, I felt 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:28.320 like I was just gonna let them have it because 0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:30.879 the COVID you know what I'm saying, the COVID stuff. 0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:32.280 You know what I'm saying, It's probably would have been 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:36.520 hard for me to win against that. What fucking where 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:42.959 is the University of Alabama? The university that's a yo. 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.560 It's crazy. It's like college football, like it's big and 0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:47.520 mobile as it is, like because it's like a it's 0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:52.239 like religion down there. Bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's Alabama, 0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:57.119 Alabama or roll Tide bro. Yeah. SEC football is like 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.320 a religion. Now, it's insane. It's the whole state just 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.160 like roll tiede like banging that or is there most 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:10.080 people in Alabama yeah, Alabama, ARBN, Alabama. Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.000 the COVID ship is crazy. But I do know in 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.360 the South they're a little like, uh more liberal with 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:19.720 not wearing masks. And you know, did you happen to 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.480 watch the presidential debate yesterday? Uh? Yeah, I was watching 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:25.840 the live it on Twitter. Yeah, what do you what 0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.159 do you think of the elect I mean, you know, 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.159 you're a smart guy, man. What are your thoughts on 0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:33.320 the election and and where the fuck our world is 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:38.080 currently at? I think I think you know what I'm saying. 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.280 Just watching it, I feel like you know what I'm saying. 0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:45.280 Biden was making up way more valid points. I just 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.040 I just felt the more caring vibe from from Biden 0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.920 than than Trump. Like Trump just like don't give a fuck, 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.240 don't don't give a fuck. You know, it was like 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.680 the six nine of fucking politics. Bro. He just will 0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:57.840 say whatever the fuck like you like, it don't matter 0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:00.359 if it's true, Like he's just throwing ship at the wall. Yeah, 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.760 you feel me. So I feel like, if if I 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.560 had to vote, I'll probably vote Biden just because like 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:10.359 he's like, because he's not an insane racist. Yeah, just 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.359 I can't I can't do. I can't do. Have you 0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:18.520 have you ever voted? Nope? You plan on voting? Uh? Yeah, 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:20.320 I do plan on vote. Like you know what I'm 0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.440 saying one day. You know what I'm saying. Look, we 0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.639 got a month, man, you better registered. Go get go, 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:26.879 get that Alabama voting and that's a that's a red state. 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:31.440 Yeah yeah, I probably ill probably vote. Yeah you should. Man. 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:33.399 I don't want to say no because I feel like 0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:37.280 people gonna follow me and not vote. Listen, bro, at 0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.920 the end of the day, that people will find if 0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:44.400 people fucking hate you, they'll watch this and find five 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.959 minutes that that they can It just is what it is. 0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:54.359 There's miserable motherfuckers. It's it's unfortunate I have, you know, 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:56.359 being as somebody. You know, it's crazy because like I 0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:58.600 said earlier, like I feel like people know you for 0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:04.040 your music period and not for like, oh this guy 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:08.800 was beefing or this guy was fucking on Instagram, you know, 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:13.439 flashing guns, and like I feel like your music is 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.600 what is like like and and I think that's why 0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:19.320 you're what you're going on like your fifth year in 0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:23.080 this shit right, Like that's already longevity and that's crazy 0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.480 to say, but if you see the way artists come 0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:29.400 and go, dude, like people can't last two years out 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.800 here before their shit is like a rap and you 0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.879 haven't even sniffed like commercial success like you have, but 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:39.280 like you're not even your shit is really underground, like 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:43.040 for like obviously for being someone who's got plaques. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:45.119 I know. I understand what you're saying perfectly because I 0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:46.959 you know what I'm saying. I think about it all 0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:49.879 the time, you know, but I just I just know 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:53.280 like when that moment come is gonna be huge because 0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.160 I put so much groundwork in, Like it's nothing gonna 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.240 be like it came from overnight. You know what I'm saying, 0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:00.879 People just gonna be like just getting on him like 0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.880 yeah he been he been doing this like he been had. 0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.560 You know what I'm saying, Local hits, regional hits, not 0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:09.360 mainstream hits. So I feel like that's that that that's 0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:11.160 way better because they don't take nothing but one year 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.200 turnaround to you know what I'm saying, to for real 0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.600 to and uh, I think the situation I'm in now, 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:19.120 you know what I'm saying, it's gonna be way better 0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:22.840 for me because I got you know, Uh, I feel 0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.240 like I'm, like I said, I'm a student of the gang. 0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:29.000 So I I just learned, I learned everything. I got 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:30.560 my money right, you know what I'm saying. So it's 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.080 gonna be a whole new and I could move when 0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:34.480 I want to, you know what I'm saying. Gotta wait 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.840 on nobody, So it's gonna be a whole different What 0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:38.440 was the gift in the Curse? Because we always hear 0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:40.280 about like signing the other artists, and I do think 0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:42.880 Boozie doesn't get enough respect as a CEO. You know, 0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:45.480 his label's doing this thing. But what was the gift 0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:49.800 in the Curse being signed to another artist? Uh? I 0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:53.440 say the I mean it really would. I feel like 0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:55.120 it's all on the artist. You know what I'm saying. 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.640 It's all on the artist. Like it's on it's about 0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.200 how hard case by case situation. Yeah, you know what 0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.440 I'm saying. Because it's like somebody can sign you to 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:06.720 they labeled, you could be the biggest artists in the world, 0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:11.440 you know what I'm saying. And but what you're gonna 0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:13.000 do once you get signed that, you know, I think 0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:14.840 that's where a lot of people make a mistake is 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.440 they sign and then they're like okay, then they just 0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:21.320 wait on them. And that's what as opposed to like, no, 0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:23.400 now you got to roll your sleeves up, you hit 0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:25.400 down and really get to work. Yeah, because you know, 0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:27.960 you can't depend on nobody for your own ship ever, 0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.959 control your own destination. And most of the time the artists, 0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:34.320 you know, they had their own stuff going on too, 0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:36.560 so it's like they can't. They probably could be focused 0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:38.520 on you, but they ain't gonna always be focused on you. 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:40.640 So the time that they not, they probably be working 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:42.480 on the alb or they probably got some person stuff 0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:45.360 going on that they can't really give out their time 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.560 to you. So you gotta roll up your sleeves and 0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.200 turn up. So that was the thing that was different 0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:53.800 from me, Like when I got in your hand, Yeah, 0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.520 like you know, I took that coat sign and ran 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:58.800 you know what I'm saying, and did my thing. So 0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:02.200 like if you ain't really got that in you, then 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:05.360 you're probably just gonna, you know what I'm saying, just 0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:09.360 beyond be yonder them. Like I won't really around boost 0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:11.920 It like I used to be around boost It and 0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:14.000 I still be around him, but I just went like 0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:15.840 around him every day, like I used to go do 0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.080 my own stuff, you know what saying, make my own 0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.960 name for myself. And then came back and like, yeah, 0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:24.960 you know what I'm saying, talk about what you've learned 0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.280 from Boozie because we were talking earlier and I was like, 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:28.680 you were told me you were shooting a video in 0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:29.960 La and I was like, well, he was the artist, 0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:31.560 and you were like, you know somebody who just bagged 0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:36.480 you out. Yeah, And you know, I know Boozy whatever 0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:40.960 city he's in, Yeah, he's pull up, have your money right, 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:42.520 and you get in the verse and you were saying 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:44.280 that you kind of do something similar, and I, you know, 0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.520 I think that there's a couple of ways to look 0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.200 at that. I think some people might be like, you 0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.640 might water down your value, but at the same time, 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.840 like you're an independent artist and you don't know if 0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.080 this is as good as it's gonna get. Yeah, so 0:30:57.120 --> 0:30:59.760 you might as well get every bag you can right now. Yeah, 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:02.960 Like I said, I used to worry about like yah, 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.440 Booster kind of taught me that, you know what I'm saying. 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.920 I used to worry about how it would look, you 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:10.400 know what I'm saying if I posted this or I 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.040 posted that, But I mean, you gotta look at it 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:16.240 like people gonna talk regardless, you know what I'm saying. 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:21.800 Like and then and my point of view is like, yeah, 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:23.960 people gonna talk regardless, so you might as well get it. 0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:27.320 Why because when it's over with, what's your run over with? 0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.320 Gonna you know what I'm saying, Give every dollar you 0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.440 can off your name while it's hot, you know what 0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.239 I'm saying. Because when it's not hot, people ain't gonna care. 0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:39.200 People ain't gonna care what you guess what if I 0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.680 go do, if I go post I'm doing features right now, 0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:44.480 and like the next week I post that I made 0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.080 one hundred k off features, give everybody saying give with 0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:49.720 everybody saying you know what I'm saying, everybody, you know 0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:53.200 what I'm saying. Co signing that like people want to 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.520 do that, you know what I'm saying. So it ain't 0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:58.720 no bad thing, bro, Like people gonna talk regardless. Man, 0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.040 get your coins. Say if you put in all these 0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:03.800 years of work. I saw quote today was like, you 0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.440 know what I'm saying, It probably takes me thirty minute 0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.960 to do a job right now and make all this money, 0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:13.120 but the years and years that I put in before that, 0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:15.000 you ain't see that, you know what I'm saying. So 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:17.160 you're paying me for them years. You feel you ain't 0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:19.040 paying me for this thirty minutes I came to the studio. 0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:23.200 You're paying me for all to get that. And then plus, 0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.959 like I said, Bro, you know what I'm saying. I know, 0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:29.040 I know people do way more. But like I said, 0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:32.440 I screamed thirty million screams every too much. You know 0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:36.160 what I'm saying. So I deserve it, you feel me? 0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:40.480 So what do you respect? Let's say somebody you know 0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:42.280 who you don't know, maybe you don't fuck with the song. 0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.160 Let's say the song is trash and you're in fucking 0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:49.480 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. What is that? What is the what 0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.080 is the uh? What if I if I want to hook? 0:32:52.120 --> 0:33:00.160 What's that cost? Uh? Man, it's not like that this 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.920 is trash. Let's say he's a juggler, he's an ICP 0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:07.880 guy like man, like my price is my price? I 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:11.000 mean most times if the song trads, I personally think 0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:12.520 the song trade. You know what I'm saying, I just 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.680 make my port hard. You're just gonna I guess you're 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:17.400 gonna fast forward to my part. You know what I'm saying. 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:19.640 You're gonna listen to the whole song for my part. 0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.440 You feel me if the song traded. But like I said, 0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:25.320 it's so many fans out there, people who like all 0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.800 type of music. Bro, it could be trash to me, 0:33:28.040 --> 0:33:30.280 but if somebody don't like it, you feel you gotta 0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.520 listen to what people listen to. Okay, So what's give 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.880 me the menu? Man? What's the hook? What's the hook? MANU? 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.480 It's just it just it just depends like right now, 0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.000 like for like for a hook, like if I'm if 0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.920 I'm probably in the city, or I'll probably try like 0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.280 fifteen thousand because I know my hook's good. You know 0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:47.880 what I'm saying. I know, I mean I feel like 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.000 if somebody's gonna get something from you that you get 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:52.160 the hook. Yeah, you feel me? Yeah, So you know 0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:53.640 what I'm saying. But a lot of times like I 0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:57.640 do versus like for for ten, if I'm in the city, 0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.240 you know what I'm saying, or you know, sometimes then 0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.240 want the verse in the video, I get like a 0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:05.200 twin and make a quick twin. So like I and 0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:08.839 that's how just doing that I ain't really never really 0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:12.200 did features a lot like that. So when I went, 0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.879 cause I couldn't really clear my own music, and people 0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:16.920 have a problem getting clear when I was on the label. 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.680 So when I got independent, everybody or wording because people 0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.000 know I make good music. They know they gonna get 0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:24.160 you know what I'm saying, some good stuff out of me, 0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:26.040 and they know I've been around for a long time 0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:29.880 and I'm respected in it, so people be paying it. 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:31.319 That's how you know I could I can go if 0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:33.319 I really want to say, all right, I'm gonna get 0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.040 on my tour bus and I'm gonna leave for two weeks. 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:38.160 I'm going to go to full different cities. You know 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:40.200 what I'm saying. I know I can make one hundred 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:42.000 and fifty thousand, you know what I'm saying, just off 0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:45.439 creatures and features in videos. You know what I'm saying. 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.959 All that money, like not for nothing is straight cash. Yeah, 0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:52.120 and I be you know what I'm saying, And I 0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:54.400 just I go and just cause, like I said, my 0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:58.439 life already set up like I on my house house Yeah, 0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.000 so I just really put it all back and mute, 0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:03.600 like I probably want to go do some promotion promotion wise, 0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.400 you know what I'm saying. And that's the sweet thing 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:08.560 about being independent on because so if you get a billboard, 0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:10.759 you are you paying for that out of your own pocket? Yeah? 0:35:10.800 --> 0:35:13.000 I mean like I'm I got I got a situational 0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:16.040 empire right now, but out to Gazi and Nima, yeah, 0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.759 the people, So right now, I'm the type of artist 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:23.000 that I already know it's death, so I spend it myself. 0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:24.719 I know, I know it's there, you know what I'm saying. 0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:27.319 And even if you know, even if I is ost 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.319 to that budget, I still go spend it myself. I 0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:31.640 just believe in my stuff so much. And then I'm 0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:35.439 the type of artist where like I really enjoy being 0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:38.399 on the road people knowing my music going, So I 0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:40.440 invest in myself. You know what I'm saying, I go, 0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:42.759 you know what I'm saying. Do this me ask you 0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:47.200 this as somebody who has been you know, obviously I 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:49.919 don't think a lot of people knew about the Columbia's involvement. Yeah, 0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:55.400 but would you advise artists to take a big advance 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.520 when they do U sign a deal or do any 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.680 sort of distribution or would you ad like because you 0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:02.960 know at the end of the day, you got to 0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:05.719 pay that money back two times, Yeah, to break even 0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:08.320 on it. For the most part, would you advise somebody 0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:09.759 to take a big bag because I think a lot 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.760 of people are like, Yo, I signed this million dollar deal, 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:16.680 but it's like, what is it worth you like taking 0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:19.239 that up front money to just like yeah, you could 0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:22.240 or you could just get the monthly. Yeah. It depends 0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:24.200 on your situation at the moment though, Like you know 0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.360 what I'm saying, you are if you're coming like right now, 0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.640 if somebody come off with me a million dollars right 0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:32.239 now for a record deal, I know I'm not gonna 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.759 take it because you could do that. Yeah, because I 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:37.560 see the amount of money I'm making. I see you 0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:41.759 know what I'm saying, that what I'm getting from the 0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.560 people that I'm messing with right now without even having 0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.640 to commit so much. You know what I'm saying, do 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.359 something with Empire. You could do whatever you want. Yeah, 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.600 you feel me. So it's like, if you really know 0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:55.560 the game, somebody like Empire is gonna be you bis bit. 0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:57.960 And I ain't just saying it, come and sign if 0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:01.439 you know the game, because like I said, I say, 0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.879 that's every inter you if you just do watch your 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:07.480 time a major. I wouldn't say never signed to a 0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:09.400 mage label if that's what it takes to get on 0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:11.960 your feet, as artists do that. Sometimes you gotta do 0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:13.440 what you gotta do. Yeah, do what you gotta do. 0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:19.839 But while you in that deal, be listening, learning what 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:23.000 they do, making the connections that you know what I'm saying, 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:24.879 when you meet people, don't just you know what I'm saying, 0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:27.360 really meet people. Like when you meet people, they be 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:29.560 introducing you or you be around the people that they 0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:33.600 hiring to do this stuff. So if you meet them people, 0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:36.600 once you do go independent, you got a good relationship. 0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.080 You're kind of having an idea of an infrastructure, you 0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:40.560 know what I'm saying. And a lot of times they 0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:45.600 gonna charge you way cheaper than what they Hey, what 0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:48.040 you just said is like a lost r form in 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.200 the music game. And that's these like I mean, I 0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:53.160 see as like being on the radio side, Like you'll 0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:56.719 meet an artist and you'll be like, damn, that dude 0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:59.839 does not want to be here, Like he's like a dick, 0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:02.719 Like you could tell you just like you know, and 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:05.000 and and the thing is is like that's fine, but 0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:09.120 like building like genuine relationships and like like you said, 0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:11.680 when you meet somebody like net him, don't feel like yo, 0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:14.399 what's up? Yeah? You know feel me because you never 0:38:14.520 --> 0:38:16.560 like you You never know when you might. You know 0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:18.600 what I'm saying. It probably be a It probably be 0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:21.680 a little reporter that was like you probably go somewhere. 0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:23.719 You probably had an intern in here. You know what 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:27.120 I'm saying. Uh, five years, who could that be? Yeah? Yeah, 0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:30.319 the intern can be somebody or their intern can be he. 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:34.640 He could be the lead writer for this person. That 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:36.319 happen all the time. I mean I used to. I 0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:38.560 was an intern for two years working for free. It's like, 0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:40.600 and they gonna remember if you you know, they gonna 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:42.960 remember if you know what I'm saying, how respectful of 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:44.360 an artist you was. You know what I'm saying, that 0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:47.239 they genuinely fucked with you when they when they met 0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:49.319 you type stuff like that. So I'll be keeping all 0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:50.800 out of mind like when I meet people. You know 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:53.720 what I'm saying, I actually I genuinely fuck with people. 0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.640 So uh, I feel like just throughout my career, like 0:38:57.160 --> 0:39:00.279 every everybody that I met, like I mest sure that 0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:03.200 rolled it out and I was signed with Columbia. You 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.520 know what I'm saying. We just spoke briefly and stuff 0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:09.040 like that. But uh, you know, once I got independent, 0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:11.279 you know what, I still had the relationships to be 0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.120 able to you know what I'm saying, go back and 0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:17.520 politic willa and stuff like that. So not that I'm independent, 0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:20.640 I'm just moving way way different, bro. I really feel 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:25.799 like way more freer. Like it's a different piece of mind. 0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:27.840 They put you in a different music space, Like I 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:29.880 could really drop whenever I want, like you know what 0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:33.200 I'm saying, And that's like I could take on the drop, 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:35.640 I could drop back to back. It's however I want 0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:38.160 to do it, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, 0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:40.520 it's just a different space. Man. Then a lot of time, 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.440 like I said, if you don't make the connection that 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.040 lay was gonna key with them overhead, it's like you're 0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:48.560 gonna be wondering like, oh yeah, why did I pay yo? 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.160 The worst part I see is I see like like 0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:53.799 I've had friends signed and then they'll get like an 0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:57.600 engineering fee for making the clean version of their album 0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:00.359 and it'll be like fifteen thousand dollars. Yeah, Like wait, 0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:03.160 I paid some dude, fifteen grand to make the clean 0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:07.440 version of my single, Like nobody's charging Like that's insane. 0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.759 But like you said, like you gotta know and you 0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:12.799 gotta be smo. You got no ways to filter that money. Also, 0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:16.400 like you know, a lot of artists like they'll they'll 0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:18.840 like let the studio, like the label pick their studio 0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:20.839 and then like you looking like wait, I spent two 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:22.880 grand a day in the studio time when I couldn't win, 0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.839 and like booked my own spot for like five hundred dollars. Yeah. See, 0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:29.160 I record my own I recorded like all my songs 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.400 that got pleasant stuff. I recorded, mixed and message all 0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:35.359 my own stuff. So so you you record, mixed, master everything. Yeah, yeah, 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:37.840 I do. I do everything now, I don't you know 0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:42.040 what I'm saying, right, all my past stuff I did? 0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:44.880 You just recorded everything at home? Yeah? I recorded everything. 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:47.279 Like what you're like home set up? Like you know, 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:49.759 what was your mic? Like I had the I had 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:52.200 a new mean mic, I had the Apollo you know 0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:55.359 what I'm saying, the Yamaha speakers. Just the basics, Yeah, 0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:58.440 the base, the basic, a padded room, the basics stuff. 0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:00.239 You know what I'm saying. It's all really about your 0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:04.200 your presets. And yeah, I said, I had you get 0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:07.040 that little template, put you on that temp Yeah, that engineer, 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:08.480 he put me on my tent. He put me on 0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:10.640 that temple. So like what I was doing, I was 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.960 just charging them for me recording myself. So that's how 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:15.759 you feel. So how you're recording. But you probably got 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:17.719 a one hundred and fifty recording budget. You know what 0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.360 I'm saying. If you record yourself, you know what I'm saying, 0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:22.799 that's why they're not in the studio. More. Artist should 0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:25.400 open their own studios. That's how you got to know 0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:28.760 your contract. If you don't know your contract, you're especially 0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:31.480 you like if you ever like, are you gonna end 0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:33.440 up trying? I got an artist, Yeah, I got Yeah, 0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:36.319 I got I got an artist right now name uh 0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.680 Brooklyn Love. I had another artist before that, but she 0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:42.920 I don't really mess with that no more. But I 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:46.279 got an artist right now named Brooklyn Love. She yeah, 0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:50.759 now she from Baltimore. Oh shit more, that's wow out 0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:54.320 to Baltimore.

Yeah yeah, so uh Love Scars Yeah, and 0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:29.640 that's one like one of my uh this this real 0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:32.919 Blue ved stuff. So it's gonna be like a full 0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:37.799 R and B project like when I dropped them. When 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:40.120 I drop R and B projects, they go, they go crazy. 0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:43.719 Ladies love the Yeah. So after I do that that, 0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:48.000 I'm start working on my first real Real Abbu album. Yeah, 0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:51.839 debut album that I'm that I'm dropping uh with uh. 0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:55.160 We we're boosting them team. We're gonna get to working 0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:58.600 on uh that first album after this, after this project. 0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.680 What inspired you to get your own tour bus, because 0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:06.880 that's another thing that you said, like, you know, people 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.160 got to start thinking this way man, nah man, like 0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:11.680 for real though I really I really called it still 0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:15.960 like a blessing on it because I it was this 0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:19.919 Australian guy and his daughter was like a real fan 0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:23.520 of my music. So I hain't went to Nageville one time. 0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:25.960 Like I said, I treated everybody week because I treat it. 0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.960 I just treated everybody respect. So he had hit me up. 0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:30.400 He was like, man, yeah, you know I do, I 0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:33.120 do publishing and stuff like that. I was just like, man, yeah, 0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:36.560 you know, uh, let's talk about it. So he picked 0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:38.600 me up from the airport. I went to his house 0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:41.520 and he had a big stupid house, you know what 0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:44.960 I'm saying. So end up coming to find out he 0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:49.080 ended up being a singer from Australia that had like 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:51.600 multiple number one and stuff. So he owned a whole 0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:55.160 big tour bus company. And I was like, man, I 0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:57.319 need man, I need a tour bus. You feel me? 0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:02.040 So he was like, uh, He's like, man, I get 0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:04.239 you one. Like you know what I'm saying, there's no problem. 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:08.759 So uh yeah, he gave me a toba. He gave 0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:11.399 you one. Yeah, he gave me. Oh yeah, he gave 0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:15.480 me a So that's fun. You know what he what 0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:19.120 he really did was you wouldn't say he gave it 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:20.960 to me because I gave him twenty thousand for it. 0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:23.640 But the toba was worth like two hundred thousand. You 0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:25.279 know what I'm saying. I gave him twenty thousand for it, 0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:29.160 so sh uh. And after that, you know what I'm saying, 0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:31.360 I had broke my own like managing me for a 0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:33.640 little while, you know what I'm saying, and uh, stuff 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:35.160 like that. So it was like, you know, it was 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:36.600 kind of he was letting me use it, you know 0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:38.520 what I'm saying, while I was managing and stuff. But 0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:42.600 he had ended ended up getting into like some multi 0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:47.279 million dollar deals with some stuff, and you know, we 0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:49.040 still keep in touch, but he was just like, you know, 0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:51.520 he ain't really So now you rent the tour bus 0:44:51.600 --> 0:44:53.680 out to other artists? Yeah, yeah, I rented out to 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:57.960 other people now like he be artist families stuff like that, 0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:03.080 you know what I'm saying. So yeah, so that yeah 0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:06.040 for real though, but I probably would eventually got because 0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.360 I got like sprints and stuff too, so I probably 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:10.160 would have eventually got my own. I just like how 0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:14.719 it is, you know what I'm saying. It saved me 0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:17.719 because it got like a whole keen bedroom in the back, 0:45:17.840 --> 0:45:19.279 you know what I'm saying, stuff like that, So they 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.399 saved me for help to get rooms if I want 0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:24.560 to go like out and just heat the city, the 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:26.520 city of the city, the city and make money. You 0:45:26.520 --> 0:45:27.960 know what I'm saying. I could go do it. You 0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:29.839 know what I'm saying because I'm just on the bus. 0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.800 You know what I'm saying. With your biggest market besides home, 0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:35.000 like as far as like where you get the most 0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:38.080 bread for a show or you know, streaming wise, what 0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:43.680 do you think is your biggest city, It'll probably be Houston, Atlanta, 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:49.000 and all of Louisiana. Like anyway in the Louisiana I'm 0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:52.680 gonna get a bad like Houston, Dallas, you know what 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:59.520 I'm saying, Milwaukee, New Jersey, like you know what I'm saying. 0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:02.200 I got it's really like space stat like and weird 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:04.080 like you know what I'm saying, weird places. But most 0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:06.239 of the South, like you know where in the South, 0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:08.920 like they gonna they gonna know me, but like it'd 0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:12.160 been surprised though, because anyway I go, like somebody gonna 0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:15.160 know me. I could be in oh Maha, Nebraska, God damn, 0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:17.040 like somebody gonna be like, oh you blue. You know 0:46:17.080 --> 0:46:18.920 what I'm saying. That's how I know, Like you said, 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:24.160 a good thing, like my music way more popular than me, 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:26.239 Like most people know my music and ain't know me 0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:28.920 just because like like I said, I don't really be 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:31.160 in a I don't even really do too many interviews 0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:34.520 for real like that. I just really started doing interviews 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.719 like that. But uh yeah, but I like it like 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:41.480 that though, because like I said, you get built up 0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:43.279 in the blogs, like people want to see that ship 0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:47.279 all the time, and then when they don't see it, uh, 0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:49.120 you fell off, you know what I'm saying. So no, 0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:52.120 I think too. It's like you said an expectation, Yeah, 0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:55.000 you have to be this person on social media, and 0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:57.240 then like you got to keep trying to outdo yourself 0:46:57.280 --> 0:46:59.680 with the dumb ship. I feel like someone like Little 0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:02.520 Pump in that space where like we kind of knew 0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:05.120 Little Punk for being like this wild ass kid. Yeah, 0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:09.000 but like what happens when the wild ass kids should 0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:12.239 goes away? It's like, you know the thing, what's the 0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:16.719 same thing with more than ever? He probably sitting back 0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:19.799 just playing ten more things he can he could do. 0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:24.160 He's gotta out, he's gotta out do the disrespect. It's like, Okay, 0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:25.920 I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go in this disrespect to 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:27.560 her before my album comes out, go to La, go 0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:29.640 to Chicago, shoot videos and all these places where shouldn't 0:47:29.680 --> 0:47:32.399 be and it's like, okay, now what, Yeah, that's too there, 0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:34.279 that's too that's too that's too much for me. I 0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:38.200 just like I just enjoyed. I just endowing. Who are 0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:40.840 some of your peers that you're like fans of musically, 0:47:40.880 --> 0:47:43.759 because there's a lot of dope, dope dope artists right now, 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:47.400 especially they do the melodic ship uh Like I really 0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:49.520 miss with all of them. Like I tell to you know, 0:47:49.680 --> 0:47:51.800 no Drive. I listened to all their music, Like you 0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:54.040 know what I'm saying. I messed for road Way like 0:47:54.080 --> 0:47:56.200 I knew Ordway when his come up, Like you know 0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:58.239 what I'm saying, he's been bubbling at it. I mean 0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.239 he's been doing this thing for for some years. I 0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:03.480 feel like you guys, I feel like he was. But 0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:05.840 that's crazy because Rob Rob, Like if you go and 0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:08.680 look at his hold on Ice video, like I was 0:48:08.719 --> 0:48:10.160 in like that was when he was out there like man, 0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:11.919 do a drop, Do a drop? I was like, yeah, 0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.120 I messed with him like he was. I think he 0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:16.520 was opening up for me in a show of Florida. 0:48:16.640 --> 0:48:19.839 And then after that like I think he I don't 0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:21.680 know if he redid it deal with Lamo or what, 0:48:21.840 --> 0:48:25.719 but after that he just started going crazy. You know, yeah, 0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:30.959 he's fired. I think, Like, I mean, we talked about Clever. 0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:34.360 Clever is really yeah, incredible. Have you I like parting it. 0:48:34.440 --> 0:48:36.680 I like parting this though though. That's probably my favorite artist. 0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:39.040 He's one of the hardest writers ever. Have you heard 0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:42.680 Blast from l a Uh one of my one of 0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:47.719 my uh, one of my female friends. Uh, she just 0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:52.640 interviewed him. Uh you know Taylor Spencer. Okay, yeah, yeah, 0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:54.960 she just interviewed him. So that's that's how I heard him. 0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:57.239 And then I started getting to No. I just think 0:48:57.280 --> 0:48:59.279 it's so man. I just think that, like, you know, 0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:03.920 it's it's it's a good place where music is because 0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:06.040 you know, three four years ago, it was like that 0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:10.000 overmodulated SoundCloud shit. Yeah, it's like it was just a 0:49:10.040 --> 0:49:14.280 lot of like it just like music wasn't And that's crazy, 0:49:14.360 --> 0:49:16.839 is that you were making like melodic dope shit when 0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:19.839 that wasn't even the wave. Yeah, and the sounders came 0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:23.200 to you. Yeah real, So that' shit's dope. Man. So 0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:32.400 Love Scars debut album is your debut album when you like, like, 0:49:32.440 --> 0:49:34.840 do you consult with Boozy on that shit? Like, heyten, 0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:36.600 because I know you said you're gonna work, you know, 0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:40.319 get with his team on that like yeah, like, oh, 0:49:40.840 --> 0:49:42.920 I mean in a recent conversation we just had you 0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:44.600 know what I'm saying, you know, he wanted to be 0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:47.440 involved more because, like I said, it just been kind 0:49:47.480 --> 0:49:50.120 of chaotic just me getting out the label situation and 0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:53.239 getting with the new things. So we didn't really have 0:49:53.320 --> 0:49:55.920 time to just sit down and really just playing plot 0:49:55.960 --> 0:49:58.680 and strategize on a game plan.

I had to really 0:52:07.239 --> 0:52:09.600 go through it, you know what I'm saying. So that's 0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:11.520 why the music be hitting them so hard because like, 0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:15.000 you be real stuff, you know what I'm saying. So, uh, 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.239 they be liking when my heart broken on when's the 0:52:18.280 --> 0:52:21.319 last time you cried? Man, I ain't.

What do you do? How do 0:53:32.880 --> 0:53:35.560 you vote? Like you show up? Yeah, Like a lot 0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:37.680 of people from where I'm from, they don't even know 0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:40.160 how to vote, Like they don't even know like no 0:53:40.280 --> 0:53:43.800 billboards telling you the steps how to get unless you 0:53:44.000 --> 0:53:47.839 just now you're right, Yeah, it's a problem. I think 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:51.879 it's uh, you know, unfortunately it's kind of I bet 0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:54.920 you paid more in taxes than Donald trumpter though right, yeah, 0:53:55.040 --> 0:53:57.839 I ain't. I ain't. I only think I don't think 0:53:57.880 --> 0:53:59.719 I need fire text you. I'm just about to fire 0:53:59.800 --> 0:54:07.360 tech in life, Like you haven't fould taxes once. But 0:54:07.600 --> 0:54:10.000 you know what, like it's okay because all that future 0:54:10.040 --> 0:54:11.799 money you don't go gota counted. I got, I got, 0:54:12.080 --> 0:54:15.440 I got accounter though, like I got my stuff on tabs, 0:54:15.600 --> 0:54:17.960 Like for the last three years, I just haven't filed 0:54:18.000 --> 0:54:20.320 a you know what I'm saying, they gonna crack you 0:54:20.400 --> 0:54:23.440 for them penalties rather I probably I feel like, like 0:54:23.520 --> 0:54:26.839 I said, like I got the president, I really really 0:54:26.960 --> 0:54:30.080 had a lot of music expenses. Like I'd invested so 0:54:30.280 --> 0:54:32.320 much and the President's not paying taxes. Why should you 0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:36.520 man that man paid seven hundred fifty one thing about music? Though? 0:54:36.600 --> 0:54:39.880 Everything is an investment, like this durior investment like this 0:54:40.600 --> 0:54:43.879 what what what? I so let me know. So when 0:54:43.920 --> 0:54:45.920 you say this jewelry is an investment, I feel like 0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:50.200 most people would say that artists fuck up by getting 0:54:50.239 --> 0:54:53.160 to jewelry. You know what I'm saying, Like it's a mistake. 0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:57.279 When you say it's an investment. What do you mean? Uh? 0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:04.040 I say it as like in in the the way 0:55:04.200 --> 0:55:06.879 of that's how you can sell it, you know, that's 0:55:06.880 --> 0:55:11.040 how you can sell it to the people the Irish. 0:55:11.080 --> 0:55:12.520 You know what I'm saying. It is because it can 0:55:12.600 --> 0:55:14.520 be looked at as an investment. What you're saying, So 0:55:14.719 --> 0:55:17.560 like Dirs you could be like this was you know Wardrobe? 0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:20.960 Yeah it is, Yeah, it actually is.

Yeah, the mis education of Lauryn 1:01:10.800 --> 1:01:15.760 Hill classic uh a kon akh what I don't know 1:01:15.880 --> 1:01:18.400 what would you do the Acon record right now? If 1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:19.760 he wanted to do a record with you, even though 1:01:19.960 --> 1:01:23.400 he did the Uh? I mean I probably you know 1:01:23.400 --> 1:01:26.840 what I'm saying. Uh, I look at everything from a 1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:33.040 from a Mars standpoint, and I probably wouldn't, you know 1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:36.240 what I'm saying, just because I feel like, you know, 1:01:36.480 --> 1:01:39.760 I don't stand for it. Well, I'm pretty much sure 1:01:39.760 --> 1:01:41.960 they probably be profitable. Like I said, I mean at 1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:44.800 the same time, you love like Akon's a legend. Of 1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:47.240 course I like to do one, but I just can't. Yeah, yeah, 1:01:47.480 --> 1:01:51.040 I just yeah, I feel like if if there'm the 1:01:51.720 --> 1:01:53.640 mores that he stand on, you know what I'm saying, 1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:55.960 then you probably passed. Yeah, I probably passed. You know, 1:01:56.120 --> 1:01:57.640 not take nothing away from him, you know what I'm saying. 1:01:57.680 --> 1:02:01.080 It's just you know, like I said, said, I don't 1:02:01.120 --> 1:02:02.720 really do stuff for the month. I do stuff and 1:02:02.760 --> 1:02:04.640 I want to do it because like I, like I said, 1:02:04.720 --> 1:02:08.480 I'm great, So I don't really too much. Can I 1:02:08.520 --> 1:02:13.280 ask you being in Mississippi. How much fucking crazy Trump 1:02:13.360 --> 1:02:15.880 ship that you have to deal with in Mississippi. Oh, 1:02:15.920 --> 1:02:18.880 I don't deal with nothing. Like I imagine there's like 1:02:18.960 --> 1:02:23.760 Trump flags flying everywhere. Maggots. I really like, really like 1:02:23.840 --> 1:02:27.440 that they try to hide it. They for the most part, 1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:31.440 they had like I said, like being like I believe 1:02:31.440 --> 1:02:33.920 it or not, being racists ain't really popular, Like it's 1:02:33.960 --> 1:02:36.000 not really popular like that. It's not hope not. Yeah, 1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:38.760 it's not really a popular perception. You know what I'm saying. 1:02:39.000 --> 1:02:43.040 It's more it's more people. I ain't gonna say it's 1:02:43.040 --> 1:02:46.320 not more non racist people than racist people, but it's 1:02:46.440 --> 1:02:50.800 more people that don't show their racism than they do. Yeah, 1:02:50.840 --> 1:02:53.400 you know what I'm saying. Because it's like it's frowned upon, 1:02:53.520 --> 1:02:57.040 like you lose your job, you can lose. It's a lot. Yeah, yeah, motherfuckers. 1:02:57.320 --> 1:02:59.520 Most companies won't appeal to the black people because we 1:02:59.600 --> 1:03:01.760 spend them was money, you know. Yeah. Plus if you 1:03:01.800 --> 1:03:06.000 say some wildch it online, most like you lose your job, Yeah, 1:03:06.600 --> 1:03:09.840 they're gonna sacrifice. They're gonna sacrifice you instead of using 1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:12.880 losing the whole black community because of black community gonna 1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:14.840 we're gonna spend. We're gonna spend the money every day. 1:03:14.960 --> 1:03:18.280 So like it's either you're gonna sacrific this one person 1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:21.120 or you're gonna sacrifice this whole community. You know what 1:03:21.120 --> 1:03:23.960 I'm saying. So yeah, I already see too much.
