I haven't really gotten it. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.200 I've never been in the FaceTime like that. It's hard 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.400 for me to look at the screen and you gotta 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.919 hold it at the right angle series and it's just 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.640 and then I'm looking at myself the whole time, like 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.479 what I look crazy? Right now, you're not even looking 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.279 at the other person, looking at your boxes. This little 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.279 on my box would be the one in the background. Now, 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.720 you work with Chris Brown so much, right, right? Are 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.719 you guys gonna do a whole album to you? Well, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.640 y'all look like y'all popped off the same gremlin. It's 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.520 the same, you're the same person. Because I was really 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.960 doing that because it's like, how many songs together? Um, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.440 And they got about like five records total that we've done, 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.520 and I think three have come out, so it's two 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.200 from the first album and then we just d one 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.520 other day and all three of them are singles. Why not? 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.560 I mean, it's not it's there. All three of them 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.240 are singles, and it's not like you know, of course, 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.240 I wasn't going in like, all right, we got this 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.239 Chris Bown record for the next one's about to instantly 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.760 be eight. You know what I'm saying. The single, I 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.719 knew it's gonna be a single, but I think it's 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.720 really when that I came out the fans was it 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.159 was track five on iTunes without a title, and it 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.200 was number one on hip hop, and I was just like, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.800 y'all don't even really know what you're buying, Like it 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.520 could be I could change the track and y'all could 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.760 be buying something else later. But you know, from there, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.560 I think it's just easy work. I come into the 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.039 studio with the records that I think he's gonna vibe 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:34.880 when it's usually you know what I'm saying on the 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.840 same page and knocks him out. Did y'all have a 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:42.000 relationship before music? Uh? Because I mean we met ran 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.120 into each other. I think it's the circles we run around. 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.960 You know. I'm from La, born to raise, he's out 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.400 in La running with you know what I'm saying, a 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.479 lot of the same just people that I've grown up with, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:55.599 so it's easy contact. As far as that Crucie didn't 0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:01.240 introduce us tenth grade high school, Airfax high school, did 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.800 your finger or anything. But that's so disap Why would 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:09.479 you say that, I asked the question, I've never Yeah, okay, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.560 family though, you, Chris and Tiger got to be related 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:20.360 in some way because kin, yes, the beat dad out 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:27.160 there getting off on everybody.

So I had 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.600 about two records that were, you know, potential to make 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.360 it from me working. Like one of the records was 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.280 these are actually records that we did when I did 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.520 the Body Language sessions.

I 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.240 just don't see because the skin then when the skin 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.240 is that then in a certain area really seem like 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.960 that hurts, wouldn't just and then when it's not all right, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.040 it probably looked weird like just scab me, I'm not trying, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:03.120 And then you got itchy all day, walk around scratching 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.480 it all like vigorously. Which one hurt the most? Um 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.880 hand tattoos, fingers like you know, like you said this 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.360 where the skin is thinning. It's more like bone though, 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.439 is where it hurts the most, more than like the 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.960 skull and the face like nothing. Was that your first 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.440 obsession tattoos? Like, oh yeah, I think it was like 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.000 fifteen sixteen years old. I was just always drawn locy 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.480 on myself with a pen and I honestly was drawn 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.360 on myself and showing the tattoo artists like let me 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.559 get this, and he would go right over there. I 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.880 don't know if that was damaging back in the day, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.800 actual pen ink on me, but at the end of 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.280 the day, you know what I'm saying. That's how I started. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.199 And then from there the tattoo show was around the corner, 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.800 so it was literally I'm running over there working cleaning tools, 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.640 staying up to two in the morning when it closed. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.599 And then like you want something, Yeah, practice on me, 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.520 let's get it. And there's a lot of artists that 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.760 you work with that everybody respects you in the industry. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.439 So how did you decide who to put on your album? Um? 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.880 I usually try to you know, features, I do the 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.920 songs first and then see who could sound good on this. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.360 Pay attention. You know, I'm a fan of music in general. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.120 Some I'm always pay attention to what's going on, who's 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.640 hot just in the street and just on the radio, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.000 and it's like from there, I try to go after, 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.480 you know, people that are my piers, people that run 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.760 into I don't like chasing features if I don't know you, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.240 because that's when it starts getting a little personal and 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.320 people don't hit you back, and you know what I'm saying, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.480 stuff gets mixed up or even when they don't really 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.240 know your vibe when people don't hit him back. But 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.000 I feel like a lot of people would hit you 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.720 back and want to work with you. I can't imagine 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.320 that you can't get you know, you've had proven success 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.800 in back record and I think that way. I mean, 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.959 I usually try to look at those benefits for my 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.120 career when I'm going up features. But other people don't care. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.880 I guess you know, when you're in your zone and 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.200 your moment, especially when you getting features from like probably 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.520 bigger people, Like if you out here and then you 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.160 got a Wayne feature, you probably feel like you need 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.559 to get a feature from me. Where it's like people 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.560 don't want to meet in the middle and understand how 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.439 you could benefit from both sides. Did you download a 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.400 Little Ways mixtape that he just put out. I didn't 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.320 get a chance to you was tweaking about you the 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.480 other day the Hot Boy record. Yeah, man, he was 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.280 tweeting about the Hot Boy record, which was dope. That 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.559 was my first acknowledgement, you know what I'm saying, time 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.720 ever talking to Wheezy just getting any type of respect 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.319 from that, you know, side of things. So it was 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.400 dope to really see that and for it to be 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.240 a record that's not you know, it's not like it's 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.559 a record that's spending everywhere. So for him to hear it, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.440 whoever played it for him, appreciate it or whatever. He 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:21.920 know what I'm saying, Who heard it? The DJ all 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.080 that good stuff. Did you reach out to him after that? Like, yeah, 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.520 I did, uh try to uh actually be a part 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.560 of the mixtape. But he said, he's like, man, if 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.600 we would have got that done like two days ago, 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.199 could have got done. So I think, you know, we're 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.480 gonna try to do something for just whatever's next situation. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.680 Were like, okay, I was working with all Kelly because 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.680 I see All Kelly's on the album R Kelly. I 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.600 wasn't actually able to get in a studio, but we've 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.520 been trying to, like we've been communicating, trying to work 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.600 for like the last for the last album, we had 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.120 a record that just didn't repeat on a Little Girl, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:56.599 right um allegedly allegedly stop it, y'all, y'all want to 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.000 throw Bill Coby under the bus when you saw a 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:03.600 tape of our he was I'm not guilty, wasn't him, sir? 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.240 But do you know he did on a Little Girl? 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:11.079 And that's I didn't bother the like that I was 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.719 a little boy. I don't think I processed it is 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.360 as well, you know what I'm saying. I thought it 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.040 was pretty funny. Uh you know the rest of the 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.280 tape wasn't pining, but the eating part was amazing. I 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.520 learned how to eat because of All Kelly in that tape. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.040 He put on that make you want to try that? 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:36.400 Kelly doing that for hours ulified. Like I said, I 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.120 was a little boy. I was like, I was like, 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.679 what is going on? Like that's girls, That's what the 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.760 dude comes out about. When he came on the girl 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.040 and he peeed, he came again in the matter of 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.040 thirty seconds, come pe come. Oh man, he was going. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:57.640 He was gonna full speed and he was going. Think 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.760 about when we was in this we get in the studio. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.520 But you know, when I sent him the record, I'm 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.360 thinking like, all right, this r Kelly. And he sent 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.120 me back to record and I was like, Yo, he 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.480 didn't do the parts that I you know what I'm saying, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.240 really wanted him to do something like how do you 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.200 tell Mark Kelly? Like, yo, nah, to go back in. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.520 Not that I don't like what you do, but I 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.240 just need you to if you could just add this 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.920 and then tweak this part, and then move this, and 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.640 then I'm even you know what I'm saying, moving stuff 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.640 around and turning stuff up and down. You're like, he's 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.080 gonna be mad at me. He gonna not want to 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:26.560 do the record now, But it was all good. He 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.280 sent the record back. He went back in the studio 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.000 and redid stuff and you don't send it even back. Crazy, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.680 But if he can't listen to you, then why would 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:33.960 you want to work with him? Because you have, you 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.120 have what it is. I mean, come on, right, But 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.280 I feel like it's something you gotta still show improve, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.160 especially if it's like I've talked to R. Kelly, but 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.480 I don't know what his favorite so I don't know 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.760 if he really rocked with my records like that more 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.800 so than just respect the brand and what I'm doing. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.120 So from there, it's like I gotta show improve and 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.240 earn these people respect man, and really do that. Let's 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.840 talk about your brand. You feel like your music is 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.160 bigger than you because I feel like that, I feel 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.120 like you could be marketed a little better as a person, right. 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.120 I think I think that's my fault. I think you 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.280 know my whole plan in the beginning, Like I tell people, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.400 it's because coming from the West Coast, I felt like 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.960 we were stuck in such a box at the time 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.720 when I was coming up to where people wanted specific sound, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.720 they want everybody to be the next game and all 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.280 of that, to where I thought it was more important 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.720 not to really stress about my personal where I was from, 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.240 and give people too much besides the music first and 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.320 let them appreciate that and then put two and two 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.320 together when they're like, oh, that's the same guy who 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:26.960 does this. I was interested in what he didn't. I 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.400 don't even know that was his record, and then I 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.880 think it kind of it was better. I'm saying for 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.680 the growth. I'm not a person who's in the rush to, 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.640 you know what I'm saying, to succeed over the top. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.960 What about other artists? Are you signing other artists? He said? 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.960 Am I signing other artists? Yeah? I just signed this 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.600 cat from Arizona, Vita Ruler. He's a crazy like spitter 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.880 and more of a going like spitter, and I'm saying, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.560 trying to help just develop his songwriting skills, and I 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.480 think he's gonna be a crazy artist. And then got 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.520 a bunch of different little producers. You know, I got 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.560 Ned Cameron, who does a lot of my big records, 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:03.320 and then you know, working baby shit Trow. He's only 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.640 like a high boy record. Let him get to know 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.040 you a little bit more before you start signing an artist, man. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.440 I mean, yeah, I'm not in a rush to, like 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.200 but it's the same time, I want people to know 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:14.800 that it's not just me out there working. I got 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.720 a team and group of people like these are still 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.320 people that motivate me in the studio and who inspired 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.160 me to go harder. So I feel like, at the 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.360 same time, you know what I'm saying, they're getting their 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.440 shot in their moments without even having to force it. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.560 I think it was just like I remember reading something 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.560 Kendrick said a long time ago. I was just like 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.200 they're playing was everybody get their own fan bases this 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:33.760 and that and then come together and you know what 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.560 I'm saying in and it just looks better that way 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.160 without over forcing it. You know, fans come together. You 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:39.640 built your girl for a long time. How long you've 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.120 been six years? Okay? So does she go through like 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.120 your social media and Instagram and make sure you ain't 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.960 dming and tweeting people? Did you have to do? You 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.960 have to explain this tweet you said, I saw you, 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.160 you said wilding out girls. You said every time you 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.680 see one Tupac all about you starts playing in your head. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.720 I know she asked you about that. I know what 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.840 this actually missed that and then somebody else brought it 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.040 up in front to her and then I had to 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.160 explain it. But it wasn't that bad. It was. She 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.720 thought it was funny to an extent. She she was like, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.240 he really says something, guys like what you say? And 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:09.639 then I told her I said, and she thought it 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.000 was funny. It was just you know, what does it mean? 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.479 That's for me just trying to, like I said, I'm 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.480 trying to be a little bit more personal with just 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.200 my thoughts. And I was watching Wild and now that 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.560 was the first thought that came to my head. It's 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.680 all about when I'm watching it, because it's a lot 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.000 of those just girls. I thought it was funny. More 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.199 so on Nick Cannon, Like I was like, yo, Nick, 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.960 can't really goes out there and finds all like the 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.520 popular internet video girls people that I see always just 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.520 in different clubs or whatever. The fact. Maybe he was 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.640 just saying, they see them now everywhere, is what you're saying. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.440 I know a couple of those girls, man, They good people, 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.879 do too, some of them. I know a couple of 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:45.960 them very well. He was talking. Well earlier today just 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.920 before you got in here.
