Speaker 3: I want to go back to me being a kid
Speaker 3: in a church somewhere in Wisconsin. I want to say
Speaker 3: race Singlet'll sing Wisconsin, and we went to see Little
Speaker 3: Cedric and the Haley singer. Yes, man, and I watched
Speaker 3: y'all run down the middle aisle. You didn't walk down
Speaker 3: the middle aisle. Oh yeah, for those of y'all who
Speaker 3: know anything about church, any church folk, you don't go down.
Speaker 1: The middle aisle.
Speaker 3: That is forbidden. That's forbidden. You don't walk down the
Speaker 3: middle church going on the side.
Speaker 4: Next time I go to church, remember that.
Speaker 3: So the usher say, you know, shure, you're seeing the
Speaker 3: ball like he does instructions for the middle hole. Not
Speaker 3: only did they come down the middle aisle, they ran
Speaker 3: down the middle aisle to assult the injury. Jojo had
Speaker 3: a ball head and ear rings. We said, what in
Speaker 3: the worldly, what in the fleshy business is.
Speaker 2: Going on there?
Speaker 3: And y'all proceeded, for lack of a better term, to
Speaker 3: talk about gospel music kick ass.
Speaker 2: Yeah man, we had to do that too, man, we
Speaker 2: did that.
Speaker 3: So how did that start? Give me Casey and the
Speaker 3: hay say, go take me back to the beginning.
Speaker 2: Right, the beginning like this, Well, those you don't know.
Speaker 2: It started out in Alltimore, Maryland, our professional singing Career
Speaker 2: Study in Baltimore and Maryland. My mom had a group,
Speaker 2: my dad had a group, and me and Joji would
Speaker 2: be around house singing all the time. They had a
Speaker 2: back in those days, they had a Friday night spade parties.
Speaker 1: Mama them had the spade party. I know y'all know
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: But anyway, when our uncles and nouns they'd be playing
Speaker 2: spades and all that, me and Jojo wuld be in
Speaker 2: the bed sleep with it. Used they thought we were,
Speaker 2: but we can hear everything that's going on there. But
Speaker 2: one or two every Friday night and my uncles and
Speaker 2: they are juiced up, now you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: So they want to hit the little boys sing.
Speaker 1: So Mama would wake us up, like it'd be like one.
Speaker 2: Sometimes two in the morning, wake us up, turn our
Speaker 2: favorite gospel group on, which was the gospel keynotes at
Speaker 2: the time, you know, and me and Joe Joja would
Speaker 2: be Paul Beasley. I would be the lead singer, Willy
Speaker 2: Neil so, and Willy Neil was the one, like the
Speaker 2: the aggressive one, the lead singer. So they would ask
Speaker 2: us to make us sing those songs. I remember one
Speaker 2: night I got bull headed. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: I got bullheaded and it wont to sing. Man, So
Speaker 2: believe it or not. My mother, my mother a lover
Speaker 2: for doing this. Some people these days might ridicule her
Speaker 2: for doing it. But my mother she went upstairs, got
Speaker 2: her leather belt, leather belt, and man, that belt kept
Speaker 2: me singing today. She said, boy, if you don't go
Speaker 2: downstairs and sing them songs, but them people want you
Speaker 2: to sing and mine now they was giving me a
Speaker 2: joe fifty cents to sing. She said, if you don't
Speaker 2: get your tail downstairs, she took that belt. Man, she
Speaker 2: used that belt to this day. I never been shame
Speaker 2: or shy to open my mouth to sing for nobody.
Speaker 2: So fast forward, like I said, my mother had a
Speaker 2: group from Baltimore Female Group, and my father had the
Speaker 2: male group in Baltimore Quartet.
Speaker 1: And my mama told my daddy, she said, I think
Speaker 1: you need to put centric in that group. That boy ready,
Speaker 1: That boy ain't ready, she said, he ready? She said,
Speaker 1: he ready.
Speaker 2: So she asked me, if you want to be in
Speaker 2: your daddy group. Man, yeah, I want to be in
Speaker 2: the group.
Speaker 1: At eleven years old.
Speaker 2: Who wouldn't yeah, eleven years old? Then, so my Daddy
Speaker 2: let me in the group. I went to the couple
Speaker 2: of rehearsals and we did that first gospel you know
Speaker 2: back in the day call him programs.
Speaker 1: You know, we did a program.
Speaker 2: So when I did that, man and my uncle, which
Speaker 2: was the manager of my dad group, his uncle, so
Speaker 2: he told my daddy, oh, yeah, that's gonna be our
Speaker 2: little showstopper. Yeah, we're gonna keep him. So by that time,
Speaker 2: like I said, my mama had a group. She had
Speaker 2: to kill a band. So my mama told my daddy, look,
Speaker 2: I want to take him out your group and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get my band because they was more contemporary, you know,
Speaker 2: all that players young guys. She said, I want to
Speaker 2: take them out your group, and I'm gonna get rid
Speaker 2: of my band and let them play for Cedric mm hm.
Speaker 2: So dadd was like, we see how the I think
Speaker 2: the group my daddy group kind of figured what was
Speaker 2: going on because for me, Daddy and Jojo got to rehearsal,
Speaker 2: believe it or our tank man, they had our papers
Speaker 2: waiting on us saying we fired.
Speaker 4: Oh y'all was getting kicked out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got kicked out when they found out that,
Speaker 2: you know, little Cedric and the Haley things was about.
Speaker 3: But they kick you and Jeorje They kicked your daddy
Speaker 3: out here, and yeah, hold on you and your son.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and your sons out the group just because
Speaker 2: of that. So my dad's okay, cool, we got this.
Speaker 2: They handed you papers, They handed his papers that rehearsal
Speaker 2: when we walked in.
Speaker 4: That's crazy, you know.
Speaker 2: I cried like the baby man, look eleven years old
Speaker 2: getting fired. Come on now from something I love to
Speaker 2: you want to do. But though it was God's playing,
Speaker 2: of course, it wasn't their plans. Because at the next day,
Speaker 2: here we are my mom and dad telling me what
Speaker 2: we got. My mama said, Timmy down, Timmy to them,
Speaker 2: come to play for you now. So I'm like half
Speaker 2: because Timmy, though they was young, they was funky, you know,
Speaker 2: so I'm like cool. That was the birth a Little

Speaker 1: You're gonna give me that truck I want? Yeah, And
Speaker 1: you know they got out.
Speaker 2: They sent by Celeston, which was a lawyer for the label.
Speaker 2: So they sent them down with us back to New York,
Speaker 2: I mean, back to North Carolina and got some maturn
Speaker 2: term agreements made up and all that. And Davante fathers
Speaker 2: and his lawyer looked over, our parents looked.
Speaker 1: Over, said yes, legit, it's legit. It's it's a legit.
Speaker 2: Deal that they said, they want to do business with
Speaker 2: your sons. I think it's a good look. And we're
Speaker 2: talking today. And then we took the world by storm. Man.
Speaker 2: What Dre did by getting all in and like on
Speaker 2: some of the cuts co produced with Davante, what he
Speaker 2: did was put that picture in a frame.
Speaker 3: You give you what I'm saying, that's.
Speaker 2: All he did. Put that picture in a French fine
Speaker 2: get that fine tune and.
Speaker 1: Needs because.
Speaker 2: And then he had a night and day, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Then he already knew how to make records.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. Davante, he knew exactly
Speaker 1: what he's doing.
Speaker 4: He knew it.
Speaker 2: But like I said, you want to you know, you know,
Speaker 2: put that put a coat.
Speaker 1: And put the lack on it.
Speaker 2: You know what. That's all And that's what I'll I'll
Speaker 2: be dead and and all. And DeVante worked there. You know,
Speaker 2: they bumped head but of course if they had that ego.
Speaker 2: But then he got you know, and he just had
Speaker 2: it like I gotta listen. We told her you gotta listen, man,
Speaker 2: you gotta listen to him, man.
Speaker 4: And I had to.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly and so and and then when al came
Speaker 2: in with that mature lyric like mine. Now everybody think
Speaker 2: ill wrote Forever my Lady, what all did? Forever my
Speaker 2: Lady was already written. Fether Lady was already written before.
Speaker 2: Like I said, we had it before we got a deal.
Speaker 2: What our did was he put that that version in.
Speaker 2: You know that that kind of messed by At first,
Speaker 2: It messed my head up when it's so you're having
Speaker 2: my baby, We're like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 4: Whoa wasn't ready to give him a baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, man, got my deal. I just got my deal.
Speaker 3: No child support. Why that's the way.
Speaker 2: And that's that's that really y'all. That's what really, really, really,
Speaker 2: I think set us apart.
Speaker 4: From a lot of younger with nobody we're talking about.
Speaker 3: That nobody was saying. Nobody was saying, nobody was saying.
Speaker 3: I mean they might have saying. They might have been saying,
Speaker 3: somebody's having my baby. Yeah, somebody might have been having
Speaker 3: a conversation, but they weren't saying right behind it, and
Speaker 3: it needs so much to me, yeah, ship nineteen when
Speaker 3: somebody having your baby, trying to you're trying to figure
Speaker 3: out sure, yeah, sure, sure, yeah, I saw what's it
Speaker 3: ain't completing? You know, No, y'all used to talk. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, don't mean that much to me.
Speaker 1: You don't mean that much.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Before as the rest of the lyrics, Man dev Penn
Speaker 2: is sick, stay and come and talk to me, and
Speaker 2: that I'm still waiting, and then you and ies and
Speaker 2: my heart belongs to you, the feedings and the freaking
Speaker 2: us that that's all.
Speaker 3: D hold on, let's stop right here, Let's let's stop
Speaker 3: right here. Okay, God to love his historys got.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, I don't know why they singing
Speaker 3: this hard on this up tempo, but I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. And then what that Forever my ladies?
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, because there's a period where as new artists,
Speaker 3: you know, you're opening, you're doing venues, and maybe it's
Speaker 3: just you for a radio show, it's maybe two one
Speaker 3: hundred people, three people. But there's gotta be a moment
Speaker 3: where when that Forever my Lady hits that you see
Speaker 3: the difference from that two hundred and this small radio
Speaker 3: shows and the openings to the venues getting at there.
Speaker 4: He's going to the thousands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, man, you know you know where I'm going.
Speaker 4: I want to know what he bought, but I got
Speaker 4: come on, man, I want to know.
Speaker 2: Come when you first tore it, what what did I get?
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta, I gott a BMW man, But
Speaker 2: it was I got a BMW Jojo gotta b and
Speaker 2: J Dialvin gotta be in w that damn de bunche.
Speaker 4: He brought her something crazy and they gotta lam Yeah, y'all,
Speaker 4: be Ws is cool.
Speaker 3: Man got to get the lamb on him.
Speaker 2: He just stop at one you got like a couple
Speaker 2: of them. Man.
Speaker 4: That was that was That was the first tour.
Speaker 1: The first tour, Man, who's the first tour?
Speaker 2: First Hammer MC Hammer and then and then and then
Speaker 2: we broke off from that and then we did own
Speaker 2: Jodicy tour which was Joasy and Mary.
Speaker 1: And I think who was on that tour with us?
Speaker 2: I think and I wanted to say Biggie, but I
Speaker 2: don't want to, but did Yeah, I think it was Biggie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, Yeah.
Speaker 2: They were they was Openness, Yeah, Joasy, Yeah man we
Speaker 2: Josy was that Joasy? We were that well. It was crazy.
Speaker 3: So give me, give me the give me the Puff player,
Speaker 3: oh when pop okay, give me.
Speaker 2: That goes back to when Puff was doing when Papa
Speaker 2: was intern. So Puff was like it was to the street.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you how I got it. Love came
Speaker 2: in and.
Speaker 1: Puff as Dre.
Speaker 2: Yo, you told Dre, said, Yo, you shouldn't because Dre
Speaker 2: was gonna come out the first single. He would come
Speaker 2: come and talk to me ofever my lady. So Puff
Speaker 2: told him, no, Dre, don't do that. I want to
Speaker 2: do that. If I was you, I would put them
Speaker 2: out with God of Love. That song God of Love man.
Speaker 2: So dre like, why would you do that? We didn't
Speaker 2: even want to do that, and why, he said, because
Speaker 2: the video concept could be like they could be dressed
Speaker 2: like you know, you know in the hood, you know,
Speaker 2: with the boots, the little thuggish or whatever. So that
Speaker 2: got in love with set the world up, you know,
Speaker 2: because they didn't want Dreven said that, Dre really, he really,
Speaker 2: he told me, I don't want y'all. We told dre
Speaker 2: we don't want like no boys to man, not no,
Speaker 2: you know, just some boys.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: We didn't want it. We didn't want want it like that.
Speaker 2: Even Puff said, yo, man, you don't want them like
Speaker 2: boys men in soups. You don't want them in soups, man,
Speaker 2: he said. Puff told us that, yo, man, when I
Speaker 2: see them, when I see them, man, I want to
Speaker 2: see them like four of my homeboys on the corner
Speaker 2: singing the girls and stuff like that, you know, on
Speaker 2: the stoop singing the girls.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: So Puff's I think you should come out with God
Speaker 2: of Love first and be like this you have on it,
Speaker 2: like some hip hop gear on.
Speaker 1: So I thought Buff's gonna get fired for that, man.
Speaker 2: But then after we heard what Puff I did was Yeah, Dre,
Speaker 2: I think we should go God to love man, so
Speaker 2: got to love work. And what it really did is
Speaker 2: set a tone so the world could see, Okay, put
Speaker 2: everybody on this. Yeah, this, how they're gonna be looking this,
Speaker 2: how they're gonna dress, they're gonna have on their boots,
Speaker 2: they're gonna have on their vests, chasing the baseball cap.
Speaker 1: So that really set the world up.
Speaker 2: But once again, I think you said it like when
Speaker 2: they when they saw Sing from My Lady, they probably said, oh,
Speaker 2: that's that group that got on the yellow and in
Speaker 2: that radio with the boots and stuff. Okay, we get it,
Speaker 2: that's them, And that really set us apart from Thumb
Speaker 2: Boys to Men and whatever groups that was coming out
Speaker 2: the same time.
Speaker 6: Which is genius stuff because most time in this business,
Speaker 6: and we all know this, we've been in this game
Speaker 6: a long time, when something works, everybody does the exact same.
Speaker 6: There you're going because it's the cheat code.
Speaker 2: It can get you, it can get you in, it
Speaker 2: can get you in.
Speaker 4: It might not keep you in.
Speaker 3: But for you guys to be the polar opposite made
Speaker 3: so much sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and for for Puff to be an intern at the.
Speaker 6: Time recognize that, Yeah, he was already showing that he
Speaker 6: was a taste maker. And the other other genius in
Speaker 6: it too, in it being polar opposite is that now
Speaker 6: you're immediately in a conversation with some guys that are
Speaker 6: already selling millions of records. So it's like now it's like, oh,
Speaker 6: what's what's getting ready to have?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's two. It ain't just one.
Speaker 3: There. We got some guys over here that they come
Speaker 3: in the bad became the bad Boys army. So we
Speaker 3: got the good guys in the bad who you want
Speaker 3: to go see? Right?
Speaker 1: Who you want to go see? That's great?
Speaker 6: And I'm a church kid, so like, so did you
Speaker 6: know of Obviously you knew of Little but I.
Speaker 3: Didn't know that Little Cedric and the Haley singers with
Speaker 3: your You didn't know that. I had no idea. I
Speaker 3: had no idea until I got out of high school
Speaker 3: and did some research and I was like, well, because
Speaker 3: I got I got your sets, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So once I made that connection, I said, that's why
Speaker 3: it makes so much sense to me. So for me,
Speaker 3: I started being Jodasy in church. Okay, I started sounding
Speaker 3: like y'all in church. I would go to visiting churches
Speaker 3: and play and you know, add my divante cores and
Speaker 3: all that they be like this, you're like one man jodousy,
Speaker 3: God bless you.
Speaker 1: Because because.
Speaker 3: As much as I loved voice to men who were
Speaker 3: you know, I mean ultimately just talented, just off freaking.
Speaker 1: Charge, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was drawn so
Speaker 1: much to that feeling that was so familiar to me.
Speaker 3: The cord struct the vocals, arrangement, the arrangement and how
Speaker 3: that like I come from, I come from courtet that
Speaker 3: you go Baptist kojic And I was like, that's in
Speaker 3: there and we definitely coach it. That's in there, definitely
Speaker 3: coach it. So it it made my soul happy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I want to shout you.
Speaker 1: I wanted to shout. Music came off, y'all. Don't hear this, y'all.
Speaker 1: Don't want to lift no offering.
Speaker 2: I got if you change a few some words, if
Speaker 2: you change words our.
Speaker 3: Songs talk to the law. You can have an altar call, yeah,
Speaker 3: can instrumental you can. Let me ask you a question,
Speaker 3: did the commission have any.
Speaker 2: Most definitely commission the whiners And then you know, and
Speaker 2: I had my quartet groups, you know, the gospel keynotes,
Speaker 2: the volunteers, you name, the quartest man. I was a
Speaker 2: hardcore quartet. But then, like in the late eighties, I
Speaker 2: started listening to like, like I said, Commission in the Whinings,
Speaker 2: you know those cats Clark Sisters, you know, And I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, okay, and that's what we did. But think about it.
Speaker 2: When we got an R and B, when we got
Speaker 2: in RB Man, we were how jose'sie really really really
Speaker 2: got our sound. Jojo was the deal.
Speaker 1: In Babyface fanatic.
Speaker 2: Mm okay, listen the late the late nineties, I mean
Speaker 2: Davante was fanatics of God.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. So what we do is if Joe sleeping
Speaker 1: in one room. This is at my mom house.
Speaker 2: Now Joe to sleep in one room, He'll go to
Speaker 2: sleep with all Babyface in the in the deal stopped
Speaker 2: playing in his cassette player, I mean Avante in another room.
Speaker 2: We're going to sleep listening to Teddy, Teddy and Er.
Speaker 2: So I'm in the Vanteer like, okay, I'm just some Teddy.
Speaker 2: I'm doing Teddy Ship. You do some a ship.
Speaker 4: M hmm. Okay, so this is all late ladies.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what we did combined the wines commission guy in
Speaker 7: the deal and the deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it all makes sense.
Speaker 2: And then we made and plus we had of course
Speaker 2: we had Jodasy.
Speaker 1: It was so aggressive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you just you can hear it.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: It was like I tell people all the time. Everybody's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's you hear him jalousy armonies.
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 4: But that's your way of saying, you don't here.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't because it's just nice to me. I'll be like, man,
Speaker 3: this ain't no joous. Here's here's two things right, because
Speaker 3: it's it's too two things. First of all, you can
Speaker 3: try the arrangement, right, but the but the vocal, the
Speaker 3: casey and and JoJo's vocal are so distinctive that she'll
Speaker 3: never you'll never have that combination of tone make.
Speaker 1: It what it is.
Speaker 3: And two, the misconception of anybody, from groups to anybody
Speaker 3: trying to be Joalasy is that they confuse the fashion
Speaker 3: with the music. With the music. Y'all was making love. Man,
Speaker 3: y'all screaming. Start treat them like they're supposed to be
Speaker 3: treating y'all are screaming that though.
Speaker 6: Screaming that screaming forever my lady, screaming stay. Those are
Speaker 6: all love to.
Speaker 1: Know what that stay church.
Speaker 2: That's coach.
Speaker 3: That sounds like sometimes yeah yeah. And then the way
Speaker 3: we stack our stuff, how many steak give me the stacks?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 3: Give me because y'all on the on the board, y'all
Speaker 3: on tape, y'all on real too, y'all y'all using the
Speaker 3: whole y'all using to.
Speaker 2: Man flying over No nah nah.
Speaker 3: I want to say, on one note, give me how
Speaker 3: many how many times you stacked one note?
Speaker 4: One note?
Speaker 1: One note?
Speaker 2: The melody Davante will have a stack on one note.
Speaker 2: The least man this might sound crazy, Man Davante would
Speaker 2: have us clus to ten.
Speaker 4: Ten stacks on one note.
Speaker 3: I believe every word you sing, cah, I believe every
Speaker 3: word you were saying, yeah, yeah, say about.
Speaker 6: During y'all stacks? Are y'all trying to match the note?
Speaker 6: Are y'all just singing it with a different feel every time?
Speaker 6: Because that's the other thing. People go in and you stacking,
Speaker 6: stack and stacking, and you're trying to make all the
Speaker 6: notes sound identical.
Speaker 2: But sometimes we'll be like we'll do like uh, we
Speaker 2: do like five like ton we do like five uh
Speaker 2: the sixth times other to know, you know, just yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So its just feeling those those sonic holes and we
Speaker 1: pan them PanAm all.
Speaker 3: You know. Ain't stacking enough, that's what he's just saying.
Speaker 3: You're not stacking enough enough. Stacks you gotta stack. Ain't
Speaker 3: no ass on your background, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: As far as as far as.
Speaker 2: Harmonies arrangements, see DeVante plays chords all five fingers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we gotta me Jojo gotta sing every note.
Speaker 2: Every that he's playing ship and then Jojo going there.
Speaker 2: He's that's one thing about Jojo. He's so creative. Jojo
Speaker 2: just dropped something in there. Even when we record, he'll
Speaker 2: just drop something something fall off. Yeah yeah, yeah, keep
Speaker 2: that and yeah they keep that the next thing. You know,
Speaker 2: that's a harmony. Yeah, that's a harmony. So you know, man,
Speaker 2: sometimes we have like what some people lose, use five
Speaker 2: part harmonies. Man, we'll we'll make it away. We can
Speaker 2: use six or seven absolutely, because like mine, now we
Speaker 2: got the regulars, We got the regular notes. Now mine
Speaker 2: Davante gonna play five chords. You know, he's gonna play
Speaker 2: five chords on the harmonies and then, like I said,
Speaker 2: the extra stuff that Jojo would do, and you know
Speaker 2: that that it's just you gotta be in one of
Speaker 2: our sessions. Man, you'll be like, whoa.
Speaker 3: You know the first time I gotta, I gotta just
Speaker 3: maybe even a slight glimpse of it was working Virginia one. Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: he would know he came from that school. And and
Speaker 3: I watched him.
Speaker 4: Stack stack stacks.
Speaker 3: He got different d and he was like he was like.
Speaker 3: I was like, I was like, you're doing the same
Speaker 3: note again. He said, Nah, I'm doing it a little
Speaker 3: different this time. Watch when I watch what I do
Speaker 3: at the end, I'm like, oh, okay, okay, he said,
Speaker 3: now give me, give me, give me three more of
Speaker 3: a whispered ease.
Speaker 1: Should I just tell you that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? What are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 3: The whole thing before you came from the school. Absolutely
Speaker 3: came from the school. So that was my first glimpse.
Speaker 3: Yeah that much stacking.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Timberland too, Yeah it came from the school.
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: Like I said, we did that ship.
Speaker 3: You can say that as many times as you want to.
Speaker 3: I want to get to I want to get the
Speaker 3: Diary of a Mad Band. Come. I want to know
Speaker 3: first why Diary of a Mad Band? Why that title.
