I will always say Spooky 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.120 Coochie is my favorite song. I know you talk about 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.440 Alligator bikes never, but like girl, that's my jam. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:02.920 Thank you. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.800 Yeah, let's talk about the name of the album. Yeah, mixtape. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.720 It's mixtape album, mixtape, mixtape alligated byce never Heal. Why 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.080 is the name of that? And you talk about it 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.359 all the time? But this is a different people. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:21.160 I know. I mean today, it's like it's about this 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:27.360 never ending cycle of life of you always have a 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.840 series of truths that you have to constantly come to 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.079 within yourself over and over again. It's about patterns. Essentially, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.080 it's like when you get over one hurdle and you 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.480 you cool in, then you have another one to jump in, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.720 and it's another one, And it's just about accepting that 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.000 there's always going to be more to discover about yourself. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.120 There's always going to be more things to dislike about 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.280 yourself or like about yourself the more you go on 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.800 in life, and that's what it's about. Ultimately, you'll always 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.480 be wounded in some type of way and then you'll 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:58.080 always heal. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.880 Well, when did when did you get by an alligator? 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:07.520 Cha even try to go to a hospital to see I. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.600 Have never been bitten by an alligator. I would hope 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.200 that would never happen to me, but I'd be around 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:12.880 them all the time. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.400 Temple or what came up with that? 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.320 Even that concept like just to even I don't know 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.000 what you call it a metaphor or whatever. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.240 Yeah, I don't know. It really was deeply spiritual. It 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.119 just came to me, like I always had the name 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.680 before I even had a project put together. I was like, 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.000 one day I'm going to do a project. It's going 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.519 to be called Alligator Fights, Never Heal, and the music 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.240 will make sense with it. One day. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.200 So you've been thought of this, yes, ma'am. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.160 The you talking about changing and things that you like 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.440 about yourself and don't like about yourself. What did you 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.400 see that that you didn't like about yourself? 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.520 I think when I was creating this project, I was 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.840 always drunk, always drinking, always partying, and I couldn't recognize 0:03:53.880 --> 0:04:00.840 myself at all because I wasn't really myself. I was intoxicated, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.040 whether I'm smoking, I'm drinking or whatever, and I wasn't 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.840 liking the person that was reflecting back at me. And 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.280 I was like, Okay, I think it's time to like 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.920 sober up and I need to just get away from 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.880 people and figure out who am I right now? Because 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.040 I feel like I was carrying this version of myself 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.719 that I had been since I was like twenty twenty one, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.680 you know what I mean, and it was no longer 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.640 serving who I was to become. And when it was 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.480 no longer serving me, I was like, Okay, let's make 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.800 a change. And I felt heavily inspired and I made 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.840 the album bout it being by the boom. I'm in 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.640 the data suit. 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.400 Know when did you get to that point? Because you 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.200 know in de Nihala is the river. You talk about 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:40.800 that a lot. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.720 You talk about you know, being in I guess that 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.800 that that dark period, but you know, also being caught 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.520 up in the fast lane of being a rapper, so 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.360 you had to be lying to yourself for a while. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.480 The name of denial is the river when you get 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:52.480 to the point where it was like, you know what, 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.640 I am kind of fucked up about it. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.840 I don't think I was ever lying to myself. De 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.520 nihala is a river. I titled it that because I 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:08.000 was dealing with somebody who was lying to themselves. But anyways, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.440 I came to that point when I realized that I 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.840 couldn't create music without drinking in the studio, and that 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.919 was my breaking point where I was like, oh, I 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:23.000 have truly forgotten the source of my creativity, the source 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.919 of who I am, and I'm looking for things outside 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.240 of me to be myself. That's weird. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.599 Did did Wendy Williams influenced? Then? 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:36.360 I was yeah, that quote? Wow? Yeah, well you. 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:37.280 Was in a situation like that? 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:38.800 Yeah? 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:47.719 What wow? I mean twenty four real shocking. How do 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.480 you deal with that when a person that I mean that. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.440 It's that was never the problem. I think the problem 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.360 was that you cheated on me. You all so could 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.320 have let me know upfront, you know which your style was. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.480 I'm bisexual, that's cool. I've dated bisexual man. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.960 It's different, different when it's a man. 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.039 Let me know what it is upfront. Let me know 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.960 what it is upfront. I'll accept you for who you are. 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.279 It doesn't really matter. I think it's like cheating on 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.920 top of lying in secrecy about just who you are 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:21.800 as a person. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.760 So you would have a problem dating or you dated 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.360 a bisexual man. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.480 It's like, how can I be bisexual and then I'm 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.320 gonna not date somebody who else who's bisexual? Why because 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:32.680 he's a man. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.040 Because people look at it different people people, people look 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.719 at it differently. It's in this world, it's okay for 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.760 another woman to be with another woman, but for a 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.080 man to be with another way, and people look at 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.200 that differently. In a bisexual relationship. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.680 Now, absolutely not. It's I don't see it that way. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.880 I really don't. I think that sexuality is fluid and 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.200 I really don't give it. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.599 An because then that's contradicting it is, know what I mean?

And I think that we were dropping singles 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.360 and it's like it had time had been, time had 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.880 gone by, and I was trying to discover who I 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.360 was musically through singles and I couldn't discover that through 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.520 a full body project. And I was like, I need 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.960 to drop a mixtape and get something out so that 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.120 I can have a project to measure up to. You know, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.160 you have artists that are single artists and then you 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.320 have artists that are like conceptual album artists. And I 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.760 think that I'm that type of artist. And I couldn't 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.920 see that because I had never dropped a project before. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.640 So it's like four years went by, I got ten singles. 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.440 I was like, listen, we gotta let something go as 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:04.280 soon as possible. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.920 But yeah, was that fight was topping Punch like against. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.720 It or no, I don't think that I actually don't 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.800 work with Punch, but okay, but no, it's not that 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.079 they were against it. It was just a lot of 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.520 back and forth about what it is that I wanted 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.840 to say, and do we do we want to go 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.000 this direction?

Mm hm, it does. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.400 I was like, because that record, to me, it feels 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.560 like when you like freestyling with your girls and you're 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.720 just smoking in the car and y'all freestyling, That's what 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.360 it gives me. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.120 I also wanted to with TD, was there ever, Like 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.480 I don't want to say push back, but it's like 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.640 they have a scissor right, So it's like if you 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.960 started when you do like to sing sometimes, do they 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.880 ever discourage you from doing that? 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:29.680 Like no, just stick to you. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.840 Never they don't. My label does not bother me in 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.000 the studio, Like I don't like people in the studio 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.040 with me. I like to record alone. I'm by myself, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.280 nobody's interrupting me. It's just like, do your think I sing? 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.440 I sing? I got what it is. That's nothing. That's 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:49.960 a full singing song. It's no rap on. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.720 There, like whatever the reason I asked on Boombab, like 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:53.800 I just I just can't sing. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.880 A little bit no, because literally I felt like with Boombab, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.840 it was like I'm internalizing all of the chatter that 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:08.400 I'm getting from fans, from haters, from major label, from 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.840 the guys like oh yeah, we really like when you rap, now, 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.040 we really like when you sing. She should keep doing 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:15.960 the pops, she should keep doing this. And I was 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.960 just too focused on what everybody else wanted for DOCI 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.080 versus what do wanted for? Is that a diamond tester? 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:30.240 Yes? Yeah, right, what's scary? 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.960 That's got to be some form of bullying check my 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.440 ring day crazy. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:38.679 I wanted to ask to you. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:43.880 Now. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.919 You talked earlier about you know, you were drinking and 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.800 you're using drugs and alcohol as a crutch right when performing? 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.919 Were you nervous about doing this project not drinking? Like 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:53.520 is it gonna cut? Am I gonna sound the same? 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:54.560 I'm gonna sound good. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.560 I was terrified. I was terrified because I was like, 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.560 I don't know if people want to hear these dark topics. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.680 I don't know if anybody wants to hear this right now. 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.479 I feel like there was a period in music where 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.840 everybody was like, shut up with that conscious Don't nobody 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:12.280 want to hear all that? People just want to have fun. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.120 Right now we got out of COVID, don't nobody want 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.360 to be sad da? And I was like, I don't 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.240 want my fans to listen to my music and be sad. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:22.040 I want them to feel good about themselves. But it's 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.280 also like, if I'm I have to make music for 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:30.600 therapy for myself, otherwise I'm doing it for the wrong reasons. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.040 And then I was like, well, this is my truth. 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:35.600 This is where I am in my life right now. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.399
